Artisans display vintage glass flower stakes at art show

Photo 0900 — Greg Nikkel

A display of flower stakes that uses vintage glass petals was one of over 20 booths set up for the annual “pARTy on the Hill” art show and sale on Saturday on the grounds of the Signal Hill Arts Centre, held as part of the Weyburn Wheat Festival. Many of the Wheat Fest events were just down the hill in the Heritage Village, while around 30 artists had their artworks and crafts on display for sale, with many people stopping by in spite of the hot wind and temperatures that reached 41 degrees.

Country Folk singer to open for Concert Jam

By April Zielke The second annual Concert Jam hosted by Weyburn and District United Way, is only eight days away. Seven bands will perform throughout the day, each playing their own unique style of music. Steph Cameron will be the first performance of the day. Her style of music is a mix of country folk and blue grass with inspirations from Dolly Parton and John Prime. All of her music is proudly her own and consists only of her vocals, a harmonica, and an acoustic guitar. By the age of 14, Cameron was singing on the streets for money and continued to do so until in her mid-twenties when she was offered a record deal in Toronto. Since then Cameron has recorded two albums. The first is called “Sad-Eyed Lonesome Lady” and the second is “Daybreak over Jackson Street.” Both albums were written by her while she hitchhiked the west BC mountains and Vancouver Island. Cameron is looking to change her act by adding band members to her music. After working with a band for the first time at Vancouver Folk Fest, Cameron decided she wanted to try it out and is currently hiring band members. The plan is that her next album will be her first band album. Cameron adores Saskatchewan. She grew up in Saskatchewan and currently switches between living in Saskatoon and BC. She is familiar with some of the other artists playing and is looking forward to having a fun time playing and listening to music. The Concert Jam is Saturday, August 25 at the Cugnet Centre from 1:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. For more information visit the WeySteph Cameron to open Concert Jam August 25. burn United Way website or Facebook page.

When we don’t understand By Linda Wegner Because I am a lover of words, I’ve got three particular quotes attached to the bookcase above my desk. To be more explicit, however, I am a lover of words that are both meaningful and skillfully executed into expressions of value. Here’s the first of those three: “Give what you have; to someone it may be better than you dare to think.” The sources I used attributed that wisdom to Longfellow so it’s no surprise that they say so much in so few words. The second quote I see each time I sit down to my computer reads like this: “A bird does not sing because it has an answer but because it has a song.” (Chinese proverb). The third, and one I have to remind myself of often: “Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being excited about what could do right.” (Mindset of Greatness). Although these are rightfully attributed to the

sources I’ve noted, Solomon and his father, David, proclaimed these truths centuries ago; by reading both Psalms and Proverbs, we can’t miss their insights on the matter. I’ve struggled this week with an overwhelming sense of injustice in our world, and I’ve had to remind myself that we’ve never been promised an easy journey with instant and excellent results. We have been assured, however, that God has something better in store for us. We just may have to wait to see the fruition of some of His plans. In the same context, it’s important to remember that a word of encouragement or a deed of kindness can minister to someone else in ways we could not have imagined. Finally, adjusting our thoughts to God’s promises changes our whole outlook on life. “When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous has an everlasting foundation.” Proverbs 10:25

LOCAL EVENTS NEED A COORDINATED EFFORT

Greg Nikkel editor@weyburnreview.com

here is often a mistaken perception in Weyburn that there is “nothing to do” or, if children and youth are to be believed, “it’s boring here on the weekends”. If one takes an honest, good look at what is happening in and around Weyburn most weeks, there is no shortage of activities and events going on. What tends to happen instead is some weekends groups pile event upon event to the point that some planned events will suffer, because people can’t divide themselves or their pocketbooks to go to everything that is on. Perhaps this is a reaction by organizers to the mistaken perception that nothing is happening here, and the result is that non-profit groups see a less-thanstellar response to their carefully-planned and organized fundraiser event. At times, there are competing non-profit fundraisers competing for people’s attention, such as the upcoming weekend of Aug. 24-25, when the United Way is presenting a concert jam on the Saturday, and Weyburn Minor Football is also holding a fundraiser event on their new football field. This is not a slight on either group, as they are both valuable organizations, and both events are very worthy of support — but they may end up hurting

each other if people decide they can only go to one or the other, but not both events. The advantage in this case is these are two very different organizations, and the simultaneous scheduling may not affect them very much — or, in the best scenario, people will decide to attend each event, and give support to both organizations. One other factor that impacts on many groups in Weyburn is the tendency to wait until the last minute to buy tickets for things, especially if advance ticket sales are needed. This doesn’t just happen once in a while, this happens as a regular occurence, and any volunteer organization or group who puts on an event to garner public support can tell you how this affects them. Even groups like the Weyburn Concert Series and the Rotary Club have found this to be the case, and there have been fundraisers cancelled for the simple reason that there wasn’t enough support in advance to be able to hold the event. (An example is the Lobsterfest that the Rotary and Comp SRC were going to hold in May, which had to be cancelled.) Weyburn is a very good city for both volunteerism, and for supporting charitable events and fundraisers. What needs to happen is some way to coordinate the efforts of groups in the city so they don’t conflict with each other, and to provide support ahead of time when it’s needed, then the support can be spread throughout the community to benefit everyone.

Outdoor pool a busy place in record heat

Photo 0983 — Greg Nikkel

Weyburn area residents enjoyed the water of the outdoor pool at the Weyburn Leisure Centre on Saturday afternoon, as they cooled off from termperatures that hit 41 degrees in the city, setting a new record for August. The previous record was 40 degrees, set on Aug. 8, 1958. In addition to the extreme heat, there was also an air quality advisory in place due to the smoky air blown in from the wildfires in Alberta and B.C.

The One Who Truly Understands

A rabbit and a turtle were both sitting in an ice-cream parlor, wallowing in their indulgence of ice-cream floats and both were very upset. The turtle turned to the rabbit and said, “What can you possibly be upset about? You’re so fast and outrun me in every race.” The rabbit replied, “Well, I may be faster than some, but the falcon outflies me every race. It’s so hard having this type of pressure all the time.” The rabbit then turned to the turtle and said, “Man, you’ve got it good. You just take your good ol’ time and saunter along with no care in the world.” The turtle replied, “Yeah, do you see me winning any races?”

No matter who we are, we experience many challenges and even some outright obstacles in life. It could be pressure to perform at a certain rate at work. It could be trying to make your marriage work and hoping to figure out what is making the other person tick. Health struggles, financial issues and being faced with a serious decision, can all seem overwhelming and confusing at times. Like the rabbit who didn’t understand what was bothering the turtle and the turtle, in turn, not understanding the rabbit, we often lack understanding in the challenges

we face in life. Thankfully, there is One who completely understands everything about us. God knows us deeply, cares for us unendingly and goes to great lengths to make himself available to us during those times of need. Hebrews 4:14-16 says it this way, “...Since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. The High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God.”

What this verse is telling us is that we never have to shy away from God and think that we are not good enough or wise enough or that we are too ‘far gone’ for His love. He understands more than anyone what you are going through and desires to converse with you about it. Pastor Tim MacKinnon Calvary Baptist Community Church

By April Zielke Many are familiar with the Timbits soccer program run by the Weyburn Soccer Association. Every summer, children aged six and up are assigned to teams and play noncompetitive soccer. It’s a great way to get kids moving and being active, but what about the kids five years old and younger? Tyler Hillstead has three children all under the age of five. Two years ago he noticed that there weren’t a lot of physical activity programs that his children could participate in because of their age. This is when he came up with the idea for HappyFeet. Just like Timbits, HappyFeet is a competition-free soccer program that allows children to learn about the game of soccer in a fun environment. The difference? It’s meant specifically for children ages two to five. The two and three year olds and the four and five year olds are split into two different groups so they can be better taught based on their age. The class time is part physical literacy and part fun and games with the soccer ball. The main goal is to get a larger variety of age groups being active. Children who start playing sports at a younger age are more easily able to understand their body and how to control it. The most common improvement noticed is their balance. Even if the child attended HappyFeet when they were younger, they can still move up to Timbits once they turn six. Hillstead said that since HappyFeet began, there’s a noticeable difference on the Timbits teams between children who attended HappyFeet, and those who didn’t. He says that it’s not that they are better skill-wise necessarily, but that their confidence and strength is so much stronger and that makes all the difference. For more information on the program, visit www. happyfeetsask.ca • Late-night funnyman James Corden of CBS, on police halting the Tour de France by spraying tear gas in the vicinity of protesters: “They halted the race because of tear gas?

Finding Partners in Targeted Grazing

by Nadia Mori, PAg Range Management Extension Specialist, Watrous Regional Services Branch Producers face many challenges when controlling invasive weeds on pastures and rangelands, including vast, hard-to-reach areas that make chemical and mechanical control impractical. Targeted grazing using small ruminants like sheep and goats, can support the management of large scale noxious weed infestations. Targeted grazing is the intentional use of livestock to achieve vegetation management goals. Various studies and established programs show that grazing weeds at the right time, duration and intensity can effectively reduce their abundance. Saskatchewan producers now have access to cost-shared funding through the Farm Stewardship Program (FSP) for targeted grazing projects to control specific noxious weeds. Successful targeted grazing requires in-depth knowledge of animal husbandry—which animal is best suited

to the job; and plant ecology—when are plants susceptible and what health issues may they cause to different livestock. A targeted grazing prescription should: • cause significant damage to the target plant; • limit damage to the desirable surrounding vegetation; • be consistent with livestock production goals; and • be integrated with other control methods as part of an overall weed management strategy. If you are looking for a small ruminant producer offering targeted grazing services, the following organizations, listed in alphabetical order, are a good place to start: Canadian Meat Goat Association (CMGA); Stuart Chutter (President) 306-599-9152 stuchutt@hotmail.com Saskatchewan Goat Breeders Association (SGBA); Rob Schill (President) 306-331-7858 info@saskgoatbreeders.com or silversageranch@outlook.com Sheep Development Board; Gord Schroeder (Executive Director) 306-933-5582 gordsheepdb@sasktel.net

Western Canadian Goat and Grazing Association (WCGGA); Lee Sexton (President) 306-220-4584 info@ wcgga.ca or info@targetedgrazing.ca Because targeted grazing requires intricate knowledge around vegetation and livestock management, the beneficial management practice (BMP) for invasive plant biocontrol and targeted grazing requires pre-approval. If you have an infestation of more than 5 hectares or 12.36 acres of leafy spurge, common burdock, Canada thistle, Russian knapweed, common tansy, and/ or absinthe, you may qualify for funding of 50 percent of eligible targeted grazing costs. Please inquire about the complete requirements involved with obtaining preapproval for your project. For more information on this BMP, or any other programs under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP): Visit www.saskatchewan.ca/CAP; or call the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377.

Sask Ag minister to step down Lyle Stewart announced on Thursday he will be stepping down as Saskatchewan’s Minister of Agriculture to focus on his battle with cancer. Stewart will remain as MLA for Lumsden-Morse. “I was recently diagnosed with colorectal cancer and will be undergoing several months of pretty aggressive treatment,” Stewart said. “Agriculture is a very important portfolio in this province and it has been a tremendous honour to serve as Saskatchewan’s Agriculture Minister under two great premiers over the past six years. However, given my current circumstances, I didn’t feel I would be able

to give that position the attention it deserved, so I have asked Premier Moe to appoint a new Minister.” Premier Scott Moe said he is sad to lose Stewart from cabinet, but his first concern is for Stewart’s health. “First and foremost, Lyle Stewart is my friend, so the most important thing is for him to deal with his cancer,” Moe said. “Everything else is secondary. Lyle has been a great Agriculture Minister and I want to thank him for everything he has done for the ag industry in our province.” Stewart will remain as Agriculture Minister until a new Minister is appointed.

Ten Strategies to Pay Less Tax in Retirement - Maximizing Your After-Tax Retirement Income Strategy # 4 — Pension Income Splitting Are you approaching retirement or have you recently retired? Maximizing your retirement income is likely to be an important aspect of enjoying this exciting new phase of your life. However, a large portion of your major sources of retirement income may be taxed at your top marginal tax rate with no preferential tax treatment. This is likely to be the case if you depend on such sources of retirement income as employer pensions, Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs), Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIFs), Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and interest income. Further, you may no longer have the opportunity to take advantage of making tax-deductible RRSP contributions to reduce your taxable income. This might be the case if, for example, you already maximized your RRSP contribution room and are no longer generating additional RRSP contribution room due to having stopped working, or if you and your spouse are over the age of 71. Fortunately, there are several strategies you can consider to maximize your after-tax retirement income. Although not exhaustive, these articles discuss 10 of the most common tax-saving retirement strategies that you can use as a reference when evaluating your retirement plan. Pension Income Splitting If you are in a higher tax bracket than your spouse, you can significantly reduce your total tax bill by allocating up to 50% of eligible pension income to your spouse. Only certain income is eligible to be split with your spouse depending on the age of the primary recipient of the income. CPP/QPP and (Old Age Security) OAS pension income is not considered to be eligible under these pension income-splitting rules. The amount of tax savings can range widely and you can save in federal and provincial income taxes by allocating eligible pension income from a spouse in the higher marginal tax bracket to the spouse in the lower marginal tax bracket. The tax savings depend on a number of factors, including the amount of eligible pension income available to be split with your spouse, the difference in your marginal tax rates and the impact that the reallocation could have on certain government benefits and tax credits. For example, if you are subject to the OAS clawback, splitting your eligible pension income with your lower income spouse will reduce your net income, which will in turn reduce or eliminate your OAS clawback. If you are under 65 years of age during the entire tax year, you will generally be able to split only the income that is paid to you directly from a defined benefit pension plan.

Alternatively, if you are at least 65 years of age during the tax year, there are more types of income considered eligible to be split with your spouse, including RRIF/LIF/LRIF/ PRIF income. Note that RRSP withdrawals are not considered eligible pension income for income-splitting purposes. You can delay the decision regarding how much income to split, if any, until it is time for you to prepare your income tax returns for the year in which the income was received. This is because pension income splitting does not involve actually transferring the money to your spouse. You are only splitting the income on your tax return in order to calculate your taxes payable by filing a joint election form (CRA form T1032 — Joint Election to Split Pension Income) together with your income tax returns. This article outlines strategies, not all of which will apply to your particular financial circumstances. The information is not intended to provide legal or tax advice. To ensure that your own circumstances have been properly considered and that action is taken based on the latest information available, you should obtain professional advice from a qualified tax advisor before acting on any of the information in this article.

Solutions & Substitutions By Reena Nerbas

Dear Reena, I read your column in our paper and quite enjoy it. I bought an artificial plant, with grass-like plumes a few months ago. This plant has a very strange and disgusting odor. I didn’t notice it at first but some days it is quite unbearable. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the odor? I put it on my deck during the day hoping to air it out, but it doesn’t seem to help. The plant I bought is made of artificial materials like plastics. My son says it smells like dog pee. My sister-in-law, who works at a gift shop, says that a lot of their products have similar smells. She likens the smell to a “mouse” smell. I have sprayed it with Febreze, which is only a temporary fix. Georgia Dear Georgia, It makes sense that the plant is made of plastic because artificial silk plants are often not silk but rather made from a variety of synthetic materials, and then heat pressed into expertly designed molds. These newer synthetic materials hold shape much better than silk, allowing for a wider range of natural looking leaf and flower designs. This smelly challenge is similar to that of people who purchase backpacks that carry a strange odor. It sounds to me like the culprit is the dye used to color the plant. The not so good news is that any fragrant spray that you use will only be a temporary fix, the good news is that the smell will minimize over time. If your plant were actually silk instead of synthetic it may still carry an odor in fact some experts say, “Inferior silk gives off a slight smell of chemicals and silkworm pupa, which will become stronger in more humid and warmer environments.” Since you have observed that the plant is plastic, your best bet is to soak it in the bathtub with a half box of baking soda, water to cover and 3 tbsp. inexpensive shampoo. Soak, rinse and leave outside to dry.

Everyday Answers to Everyday Challenges

If you don’t bake a lot, and store baking powder in your cupboard for over a year old, it may not be active. Instead use it in the laundry; it’s a wonderful whitener/brightener. Just dump the old baking powder in a white wash and it brightens up the load. Linda When trying to rid a fridge or freezer of a bad smell, I’ve found nothing works better than kitty litter. My husband forgot minnows in our propane fridge and 3 weeks later of “hot summer” it was pretty rank. I used a pan with a flat surface to put the litter on and changed it once a week until there was no more smell, it took the odor away and it never returned. Ms. Kraft When needing to make gravy, I use mushroom or chicken undiluted soup. I pour the soup into the pan with the drippings. This makes instant gravy with no lumps! Ms. Kraft To dry sponges of all kinds, including sponge paint rollers, wrap them in a dishrag (like a jellyroll) and wring out as hard as you can. They will come out almost dry with no damage. This works with exfoliating bath gloves too. Joan Note: Every user assumes all risks of injury or damage resulting from the implementation of any suggestions in this column.
