Busy bumblebees do a boogie
Photo 2566 — Greg Nikkel
The youngest group of dancers with Marley’s Dance Effex did the “Bumblebee Boogie” for an appreciative audience of parents and community members, at the “Inspiration of Dance” competition held at the Cugnet Centre. The competition began on Thursday evening and went through to Sunday, with groups and soloists performing their dances for the adjudicators.
Ghostboy to perform at Cugnet Centre for the Concert Series The Weyburn Concert Series will present the duo of Ghostboy for their next concert performance on Wednesday, March 27 at the Cugnet Centre, starting at 7:30 p.m. The performance is part of the 2018/2019 Stars for Saskatchewan series, presented by the Weyburn Concert Series and the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC). Ghostboy is comprised of Denis Dufresne and Aaron Young, two multiple award-winning session and live players who first met at 19 years old and had toured the world before the age of 22. World Instrumental Music was the genre and by the time they reached 25, had been played on every PBS station, been featured in documentaries and were part of “The Hottest Fiddle Show in the World” as dubbed by the Walt Disney Corporation. “It’s an all-ages show, so there’ll be something there for everyone. We’re world-class instrumental
players and vocalists, and it’s going to be an acoustic show,” said Dufresne, noting their music has influences from country and rock, as well as intermixing original material with covers of well-known tunes. “We’ve been described as the Eagles meet Blue Rodeo,” said Dufresne. Asked what some of his musical influences were, he said he enjoyed the music of those who played their own instruments as well as singing their own songs, like Merle Haggard, Glen Campbell and Waylon Jennings, as well as the Eagles and the Tedeschi Trucks Band. For a time, the duo moved on to explore other musical passions. Aaron became a sought-after guitarist and vocalist in the jazz community in Canada and Denis became a sought-after player in the country music genre, garnering him five CCMA awards for Instrumentalist of the Year. Together again, they are putting their superb
playing, vocals and songwriting abilities together as Ghostboy. Dufresne notes there will be lots of storytelling and jokes during the show, and the duo will have Ghostboy CDs available for those who are interested. The tour thus far has been going well, and the Weyburn show is part of a 10-day stint around the province. Earlier, they had played for about three weeks prior to Christmas. For anyone who would like a taste of their sound, they can go to ghostboymusic.com, or check out their videos on YouTube. Advance tickets for the concert are available at Music Craft, Old Fashion Foods or at the Weyburn Review/This Week office. Tickets are $30 each in advance or $35 at the door for adults, and $15 for children and students in advance, or $20 at the door.

Newer, higher taxes and a big deficit in budget Greg Nikkel editor@weyburnreview.com
T
he federal budget introduced in Parliament on Tuesday provides no tax relief and will add close to $20 billion to the country’s accumulated debt. Some of the positive aspects of the budget include the promise to provide high-speed Internet to all Canadians over the next decade, $3.9 billion in compensation for supply-managed farmers of eggs, dairy and poultry, and new skills training tax credits. There will also be a shared-equity mortgage program for first-time home buyers, and for the agricultural sector, infrastructure funding eligibility for short line railways, and funding for a study on land and water resources on the Prairie provinces. For small business owners, the news was not good, as there are newer and higher taxes for them to deal with in this budget, including seven years of CPP premium hikes, higher taxes for many family businesses and those with passive investments, and the new carbon tax which takes effect on April 1. Taxes, like death, are an inevitability, but to be increasing taxes on small businesses will only hurt them, and in turn will hurt the economy, as small businesses are the backbone of jobs and of the economy in local communities. The carbon tax will hurt them and will negatively
impact every sector of the province, including the agricultural and oil and gas industries. This is a punitive and regressive tax that will provide no benefits whatsoever to the economy, and will not help the environment in any way, despite the Liberals claim that this is the purpose of such a tax. Of great concern to all taxpayers is the size of this year’s deficit at $19.8 billion, and the fact there is no real plan in place to deal with it. The deficits are forecasted to continue for years to come, and won’t decrease until 2023-24, when it will go down to $9.8 billion (and that’s only a prediction — the reality is that deficit amount will only get bigger in the years to come). Future deficits will add to Canada’s accumulated debt, and in turn will mean future taxes to pay it down, which is not a very good legacy to be leaving for future generations. The main explanation for this budget is that this is the Liberals’ final one before the federal election in October. Clearly their hope is that by spending extra dollars that they really don’t have, this will distract Canadians from the fiasco of the SNC-Lavalin scandal. Curiously, they drew even more attention to it on budget day by arbitrarily shutting down the committee hearings into the affair, even though there is much more evidence that needs to come forward about what the Liberals did. Election day isn’t that far away that Canadians are going to forget about it.
Let me count the ways By Linda Wegner While strolling through the mall I chatted with one of the security staff and mentioned to him that one of the “parking lot regulars” had accidentally dumped his load of cans and bottles. His response both surprised and blessed me, wishing now I’d gone over and helped pick up the mess. Over the months I’ve seen Joe (not his real name) near the city bus terminal and assumed he was in need of extra cash, a situation not all that uncommon. He always sits on a chair beside several grocery carts furnished with huge plastic bags, room enough for lots of empty cans and bottles. I’ve also wondered how he got so many on a daily basis and how come he was allowed to be there, not far from the entrance to one of our city’s shopping malls. Not only that, I was always surprised by the number of people who drove up
each morning to deposit their cans and bottles with him. As it turns out, this gentleman’s dedication to collecting, sorting and selling his “merchandise” has nothing to do with his personal betterment. “No,” the security guy told me, “Joe collects those things until noon, then he goes and has lunch. After that he takes the cans and bottle to the recycle place, sells them and with the money he gets, he purchases gift cards to distribute to single moms and/or others in need. He’s back at it again the next morning.” Shortly after that conversation I boarded the bus for the ride home. During those quiet moments I found myself both taken aback by my assumptions about him but all the while praising God for the myriad ways in which we can serve Him. “God has given each of you a gift … Use [it] well to serve one another.” 1 Peter 4:10

Protesters voice displeasure with council, Creeks comments Part of a group of protesters lined Coteau Avenue at the entrance to The Creeks subdivision on Wednesday, as they were upset at comments made by city council and by residents of The Creeks in regard to a proposed personal care home for the Weyburn Group Homes Society. After apologizing to city residents on Friday, council then met on Monday with representatives of the Weyburn Group Homes Society, Saskatchewan Housing, Social Services and Terra Developments, and issued a statement on Tuesday saying they feel a group home may yet be built in The Creeks.

Holy Family commended for Terry Fox support By Greg Nikkel The staff and students of the Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Division were commended for the involvement and fundraising done for the Terry Fox School Run, as representatives of the Terry Fox Foundation attended the monthly board meeting on March 13. Heather McKenzie, the executive director for the Foundation’s office for Saskatchewan and Manitoba, commended the school division for their many years of taking part and promoting the school run, which raises money for cancer research in Canada. “We just wanted to thank Holy Family for your support of the foundation. We just wanted to come in gratitude,” she said. “We raise about $1 million a year in Saskatchewan, and you guys are a part of that.” A big part of having the run each year is making sure each generation that comes up is aware of who Terry Fox is and how important cancer research is. “ We wa n t t o i n still things like perseverance. It’s all about cancer research and instilling understanding why it’s important, and the value of putting yourself forward and making a sacrifice.” There will be a new promotion for the national school run, called “Be Like Terry”, and McKenzie noted this would be a good promotion that high school student councils can take and promote within the schools. She pointed out schools like St. Michael in Weyburn has been involved with the Terry Fox Run since 2000, raising $14,905 in that time, and St. Mary’s in Estevan has held 14 runs since 2005. Trustee Bev Hickie pointed out that a
staff member there did the run for over 20 years, so the numbers were far greater than that. McKenzie noted that for a number of years, when the school runs started, people were sending the monies raised directly to Betty Fox rather than through the Terry Fox Foundation, so the records may not reflect how long organizations have been involved with the run. In this last year, 585 schools in Saskatchewan took part in the National School Run, and from September to January, the Terry Fox Foundation office in Regina takes in all the cheques and cash raised by those schools, as well as from the community runs. “We’re now coming across teachers who never saw Terry run. They’re looking for things to tie to Terry and to cancer research. With social media and everything, I don’t think kids see that kind of
perseverance any more,” said McKenzie. “We will continue that fight for him, in his name.” • In other school board business, education director Gwen Keith gave an update on the new student information system that will come into effect for all school divisions in the province. She noted there had been a proposal for including a new report card as part of the province-wide system, but school divisions made it clear they wanted to continue using their own report cards. “We’ve been told we can use our own report cards, but at the same time, they want school boards to sit down and talk,” said Keith, adding that Holy Family is “still on target” to getting the system in place by Aug. 1. She pointed out that some school divisions have indicated they are dropping out and will not use the
new provincial student data system. “There will be financial repercussions. Part of it is anticipating how much information is needed and who will need it,” she said. “Our people are confident and pro-active, but it’s major work.” There was supposed to be nine school boards who were to have the system in place for the current school year, but this didn’t happen as it couldn’t be put in place in time. • Holy Family staff members Lynn Colquhoun and Clare Fingler will be making a presentation in Saskatoon on Sask Reads, on the curriculum for reading and writing. They will be sharing a digital dashboard that staff use to track how well students in schools across the school division are doing in these areas, and will share what the “best practices” are in Holy Family in teaching these subjects.
Beginning this spring, the Ministry of Environment will no longer be offering walk-in service to the public in 19 ministry field offices. Front counter services will be discontinued in Weyburn, Estevan and Assiniboia, as well as at the following locations: Big River, Buffalo Narrows, Humboldt, Île-à-la-Crosse, Kindersley, Leader, Lloydminster, Maple Creek, Moose Jaw, Outlook, Pinehouse, Preeceville, Shaunavon, Southend, Spiritwood and Wadena. “The ministry conducted a review and found that our clients are increasingly using online services or services from a private vendor in the communities,” an official representing the Ministry of Environment said. Dates for this change will vary with location, with the Weyburn office to discontinue front counter service on Tuesday, May 14. The change does impact 16 part-time staff and
three full-time staff across the province. The majority of the impacted offices (10) are currently only open two days a week. Clients formerly served in these locations will be encouraged to use electronic self-serve options such as the online Hunting, Angling and Trapping Licence (HAL) system, private licence vendors or one of the ministry’s 13 offices with front counter services. Conservation officers will remain working at the offices serving the impacted communities. However, there will be no front counter or walk-in service to the public. Hunting and angling licences can be purchased through private vendors, by phone or online through HAL system. In 2018, there were more than 409,000 hunting and angling licenses sold in the province. The 19 impacted offices accounted for approximately two per cent of all provincial licence sales.

The rink, comprised of skip Emily Haupstein, third Shayla Moore, second Emma Wiens and lead Abbey Johnson, won 8-2 in the round-robin over Soika, lost 7-4 to Kleiter, then won 9-6 over Ackerman in the B semi-final, and 6-4 over Kleiter in the B final. In the C semi-final, Haupstein defeated Reme-
hylo 9-0, and then 6-2 over Ackerman to win the C final. The A final had been won by Kleiter. In the tournament final, Kleither had to beat Haupstein twice, since Haupstein won both the B and C events. Haupstein lost the first game 7-6, and then won 7-5 in the second game of the playoff. The

win came from the last shot of the game. Haupstein was up by one with the hammer in the eighth end, and Emily had to draw to the button for the win, with Johnson calling the line, and Moore and Wiens sweeping. “It was a team shot, well thrown, swept and a great line call,” said coach Danette Tracey.

The Comp Eagles senior boys won both of their games at the SHSAA 4A Regional Basketball Championships, hosted at the Weyburn Comp’s Eagle gym on Friday and Saturday, and are advancing to Hoopla, the SHSAA Provincial Basketball Championship this weekend in Saskatoon. The host Eagles first trounced Nipawin on Friday evening by a score of 107-59, and then met up with Moose Jaw Vanier for the championship game on Saturday, and won 81-77. Nipawin went on to play Humboldt for the consolation championship, and won 88-75. “The Regional Tournament went well and the Eagles played consistent despite not playing a game for a few weeks,” said coach Lars Guenther, adding, “The lads had a solid weekend on defense.” Coach Cory Olson stressed some points and the team executed well defensively in both games, especially in the final against Vanier. “I was happy with the number of quality scoring opportunities as well, but I would like us to finish a bit more consistently, specifically inside the paint and on free throws. We will need to make the most of our scoring opportunities when we face the provincial number two seeded Notre Dame Hounds on Friday.
I know the Eagles are very motivated to reach the final again and repeat as 4A Provincial Champions,” said Guenther. The Comp senior girls team travelled to Prince Albert to take part in the 5A Regional Girls championships, and the Eagles beat Yorkton on Friday 65-39. The Eagles then advanced to the semi-finals against Swift Current with the winner going to Hoopla and the final. The Eagles were close all game going into half time tied at 26. Unfortunately for the Eagles, Swift Current came out strong in the second half and ended up taking the win 67-47. Coach Karly Johnson said the girls were disappointed with the end result. “They played a tough match-up in the quarter final against Yorkton, beating them Friday night. Saturday morning the Swift Current Ardens brought their ‘A’ game and really played tough defence on us. The game was tied at half, but in the third quarter Swift started hitting some three pointers and slowly pulled away from us,” said Johnson. She noted that Hailey Neiszner played a great offensive game, scoring 16 points, and “Arliss Sidloski also had a fantastic game, even though she was guarded by bigger defenders, scoring 24 points.”

Queen Elizabeth School history is preserved
The former chair of the Queen Elizabeth School Community Council undertook the huge project to preserve the history of the school with the end of the school now looming on the horizon. Deana Mainil spent many hours going through every scrapbook and yearbook since 1958, and took over 7,700 photographs as she catalogued all of these histories into one project, placing the yearbooks in a format that people can buy as a DVD or USB flash drive. She explained she was asked to take on this project, and decided to dive in and tackle it, for her family and for the many other families whose children have attended or are attending Queen Elizabeth School. “A few women who were involved heavily with the Home and School Association in the 1970s and 80s were inspired to repair many of the older yearbooks … and one of them heard that I worked a lot with scanning and editing of old family photos,” she said, as she was asked to do the same with the school’s scrapbooks and yearbooks. Deana had been involved as a room parent for many years, and served for four years as president of the QE Home and School as all four of her children attended there, and said, “I have very fond memories and knew I wanted to do this project for my children as well.” She picked up five to 10 yearbooks at a time from the school, took them home to do the photos of the pages, and brought them back to the school, picking up another batch, a time-consuming process. “The part that took the most time was cropping and editing every photo individually to achieve the best quality for each photo,” said Deana, adding of the process,
“I didn’t take a lot of time during this process to enjoy the photos or read the articles, as I just wanted to get the job done. Completing the 58 albums some 7,700 photos later gave me a great sense of accomplishment and relief.” The digital yearbook covers the years 1958 to 2017, the year the school celebrated their 60th anniversary. “I am so happy that the whole project wasn’t just for my personal benefit, and that the current School and Community Council has decided that this stuff needs to be shared. There are so many great photos, newspaper clippings and all those letters to Santa, thank yous to Home and School, that are completely priceless,” said Deana. She noted that she kept everything in chronological order, with year’s scrapbook or yearbook in its own file, so those with family members who attended the school can quickly find the years they want to see. “This will be especially meaningful in a few years when Queen Elizabeth School amalgamates with the new elementary school currently being constructed in Weyburn,” said Jennifer Cugnet, member-at-large for the School Community Council. She noted that once the school is done in June of 2021, the final years of the school will then be added to the digitized copies of the school’s history. Anyone who wants to purchase a digital yearbook can contact the school office at 306-842-3553, or use the order form on the school’s website under School News. The USBs are $20 each, and DVDs are $10 each. All proceeds raised by the sale of the digital yearbooks will be used by the School Community Council to fund events or equipment for QE students.
Tenille Arts nominated for six SCMA awards
Weyburn-born singer Tenille Arts was nominated in six categories for awards from the Saskatchewan Country Music Association, tied for the most nominations for the 30th annual awards celebration to be held on Sunday, April 14, in Saskatoon. Her nominations include for Female Artist of the Year, Interactive Artist of the Year, Fan’s Choice Entertainer of the Year, Single of the Year and Songwriter of the Year for her Canadian single, “Mad Crazy Love”. She is also nominated for Video of the Year for the U.S. single, “I Hate This”, which she performed on the ABC-TV show, The Bachelor, in January, the second time she had appeared on that show. “To all the Saskatchewan Country Music Association members, thank you so much for getting me to the final ballot,” she said. “I can’t wait to see you in April at the SCMAs.”
Most recently, Tenille was on the road opening for Dylan Scott in Lynchburg and Richmond, Virginia, last weekend, and the previous week opened for William Michael Morgan in Ft. Collins, Denver and Colorado Springs, Colo., and in Albuquerque, N.M. She recently performed at the famous Bluebird Café in Nashville, and a storm caused a power outage. “We played in the dark with no mics. It was magical,” said Tenille of the experience. Her single “I Hate This” continues to gain momentum after hitting the No. 1 spot on the Radio Disney Country Top 50 charge, and No. 1 on both the U.S. and Canadian iTunes Country charts, and No. 9 on the U.S. iTunes all-genre charge after her performance on The Bachelor. She wrapped up 2018 by touring with Dean Brody on his Dirt Road Stories Tour that went across Canada.

August 21, 1926 – March 13, 2019 Patrick, Margaret Vivian (Pilchar) of Weyburn, Saskatchewan passed away peacefully on Wednesday, March 13, 2019 at the age of 92 years. Margaret was born and raised in Brandon, Manitoba in a large family – the same year as the Queen, and she loved all things British her whole life. She graduated as a Registered Nurse, and moved to Weyburn after going through the famous Red River flood in 1950 in Winnipeg. She met local boy Quinton Patrick at the Saskatchewan Hospital and they married in 1952. They raised 3 children in Weyburn - she was a loving wife and mother. During her career, she worked in many areas of the Weyburn Union Hospital, taught nursing students from SIAST during their rotation at the Psych Center & Souris Valley Extended Care Hospital, and was Director of the Weyburn Nursing Home. Community service mattered to her; as an active member of Grace United Church into her 80’s, with her husband at Kinsmen activities, and for events at the Elks Club. She was a founding officer of the Order of the Royal Purple, a member of the Retired Registered Nurses Association, and often visited Brandon for nursing reunions. She and Quint travelled extensively during early retirement, but treasured time at home playing cards at Wheatland Center, cheering on the Riders, and entertaining grandchildren (teaching them early in life about the wonderful Wizard of Oz). All experienced Grandma’s pyrogies and pancakes, sugar cookies decorated for every occasion, and singing - as one grandchild said “Gramma knows a song about everything”. In later years she enjoyed the social life and activities at both Bison Manor and Weyburn Special Care Home with new friends. She is survived by her son Colin Patrick & children Travis, Curtis, Regan, Logan; daughter Myrna (Kevin) Fleury & children Jonathan, Courtney; daughter Kelly (Jim) Linnell & children Ryan Lawrence, Sara Lawrence, Steven Shorthouse, Casey Linnell, Jameson Linnell; 6 great-grandchildren; as well as sisters and other family. She is predeceased by her husband, siblings, many friends & colleagues, cherished family pets. A Memorial Gathering was held on Monday, March 18, 2019 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Fletcher Funeral Chapel, Weyburn, Saskatchewan. Interment took place at Hillcrest Cemetery ~ Columbarium. In lieu of flowers you may consider contributing to Grace United Church, Weyburn, Saskatchewan in memory of Margaret. Condolences may be left at: www.fletcherfuneralchapel.com.

Solutions & Substitutions By Reena Nerbas
Dear Reena, Is there any way to clean cat urine off a silk duvet? I understand silk duvets are NOT to be washed or dry cleaned. Thank you for any help with this problem. Janet. Dear Janet, It is true that high heat and domestic washing machines can damage the beautiful and strong properties of silk fibers. For this reason, it is important to refer to the care label instructions. If the instructions direct you to dry clean the product, contact a variety of dry cleaners to locate a company experienced with caring for silk duvets. Hi Reena, Do you have any suggestions for removing water stains on a stipple ceiling without making it too noticeable? With all the snow this year, melting and freezing it has found a weak spot and moisture is coming into the ceiling. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Evangeline. Dear Evangeline, Begin by determining if the stipple has previously been painted. If the stipple was painted with an oilbased paint, paint over the oil with latex or oil. If the ceiling was never painted, spray it with the following all-purpose cleaner recipe: two cups rubbing alcohol, half a cup household ammonia, one teaspoon Dawn dish soap and enough water to fill the bottle. Spray, wipe and rinse (taken from Household Solutions 2 with Kitchen Secrets). If the stain remains, hide it by using shellac before painting. The shellac will seal the stain and prevent the stain from bleeding through. Or paint with an oil-based stipple paint, to harden the surface making it easy to wipe. Keep in mind that once stipple is painted, it is extremely difficult to remove if you ever do decide to scrape it. Touching up stipple on ceilings can be difficult to color match, often
the entire surface must be repainted. Other options in touching up stipple are to sponge on color-matched grout or Stipple Fix, which comes in a small container and is available at hardware stores. Dear Reena, Please tell me how to whiten plastic that has yellowed. Thanks. Marie. Dear Marie, While there are plastic whitening products on the market, you want to be careful and read the label to make sure that the cleaner is appropriate for your particular item. Another option is to soak the area in bleach and scrub with an abrasive cloth. Rinse with water. Extra Tip: If you have bleach smell on your fingers, soak them in lemon juice or vinegar to remove the odor. Wash hands as usual. Feedback from Clever Contributors Re: Areas many people neglect to vacuum: Another neglected spot while vacuuming is behind the door of the room you’ve just walked into! Irene. Re: Vacuuming On the topic of vacuuming, I find that many people neglect to vacuum between the cushions of their couch. Because elastic bands and coins tend to collect in those areas, I take a piece of pantyhose and use an elastic band to secure it to the nozzle of the vacuum. That way the small items don’t get sucked into the machine. Lihua. Share Your Wisdom • To remove candle wax from the bottom of votives, put the votive into the fridge overnight.

Pangman grads to hold bottle drive
By Debra Kessler, 306-442-4201 Pangman — The Pangman grads of 2019 will be holding their bottle drive on Sunday, April 4. The class will be out picking up bottles and cans from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Anyone wishing to drop off bottles can leave them at the Verot yard. All proceeds will be going to graduation. The Pangman Regional Library will be holding a SE Rural mini-workshop, which will be an introduction to grant writing. The goal of this learning session is to learn how to respond to some of the questions often asked. Some basic examples and some useful grant tips will be shown. This will be held at the Pangman Library on Wednesday, April 3, from 7 until 8:30 p.m. This is free to attend, and those interested are asked to contact Normajean Bailey by Monday, April 1, if you or your organization would like to attend. Five interested people are needed for this event to run. The annual Economic Development Board meeting was held at the Community Centre on March 9 with 13 present. A new board was chosen with Darlene Kessler accepting the chair. A subcommittee was formed to look into bringing in more development to town. The board’s focus the last few years
has been on tourism in nature, which will continue as well. The next meeting is on Saturday, May 4. Everyone is welcome to attend. Seven residents of the Deep South Personal Care Home participated in their weekly bowling tournament on March 14, with Addie Johnson coming in first place with 151 points, Irene Colbow and Evelyn Froh tied for second place with their score of 94 points each, and Ruby Gosling placed third with 90 points. During the afternoon, Rev. Ella Frank from Ogema came and did a small church service and sang with the residents. Word was received on March 8 of the passing of Anita Armstrong, age 98, late of Saskatoon. Anita and her husband Ron lived in Pangman since 1946 where they raised their two children. Anita taught school for 30 years, 16 of them spent teaching high school English and French. In 2007 Anita moved to Saskatoon to be close to her family. The Ladies Auxiliary held a soup and chili luncheon at the Community Centre on March 13, with over 80 attending. The Ladies Auxiliary use this money to buy small items needed for the residents of the Deep South Personal Care home.

Premier Moe speaks at SARM: Feds should focus on trade, not scandal
By Terry Pugh, Clark’s Crossing Gazette The federal government needs to change direction on policies that are damaging the economy of western Canada, according to Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, speaking at the annual convention for the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM). “One in five jobs in Saskatchewan are dependent on exports,” said Moe. “There is a real sense of urgency in our province when it comes to international trade and the challenges that are facing our most important industries. “The federal govern-
ment doesn’t seem to share this sense of urgency. Instead it is focused exclusively on managing a political crisis of its own making; a political crisis caused by the Trudeau government’s intense desire to safeguard 9,000 jobs in Quebec. “Meanwhile, in western Canada over the course of the last number of months, we’ve lost 100,000 jobs, in part due to low resources prices, but in part due to federal policies like Bill C-69, the ‘no more pipelines’ bill.” Moe said a growing protectionist trend in Canada’s two largest trading partners, the United States and China,
poses a serious threat. “Saskatchewan is Canada’s largest exporter of canola,” said Moe. “We need action now to deal immediately with China’s actions.” Moe said Justin Trudeau must realize he is the Prime Minister for all of Canada, not just Quebec. He said the Canadian ambassador to the United States should be in Washington, D.C., working to lower tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum products, not in Ottawa helping the Prime Minister navigate through the SNC Lavalin scandal. He also called on Ottawa to immediately appoint a permanent ambassador to China.
And the melting has begun …

A truck drove through a deep puddle which formed on Railway Avenue at Ninth Street, as warmer temperatures finally arrived in the Weyburn area, after weeks of very cold temperatures and high wind chills. The runoff forecast said the runoff in the southeast will below normal this spring, unless a significant amount of moisture falls on the region to add to the moisture to come from the melting snowpack.
Runoff expected to be below normal
The Water Security Agency is generally expecting near normal snowmelt runoff over central areas of the province, and below normal snowmelt runoff over much of southern Saskatchewan. Above normal snowfall in February has increased the runoff potential for most areas of the province. While the snowpack is now near normal over many areas of southern Saskatchewan, dry conditions in the summer
and fall of 2018 will lower the runoff potential. Well below normal snowmelt runoff is expected over an area extending from the upper end of Lake Diefenbaker east toward Leross. This area was quite dry in 2018 and the snowpack is below normal. Some agricultural water supply issues could be present within this area in 2019 if conditions do not improve. The runoff potential could change as there is
potentially six weeks of winter weather remaining. However, based on current conditions, well above normal snowfall would be required in March to give rise to flooding concerns over most of the province. Water supplies from the province’s major reservoirs are expected to be adequate in 2019. Desirable summer operating levels are also expected at recreational lakes within the province in 2019.

Wildlife Federation raises funds through ‘Guns for Habitat’ program T h e S a s k a t c h ewa n Wildlife Federation wants to remind people across Saskatchewan of their “Guns for Habitat” program, an opportunity to turn unneeded firearms into habitat for wildlife across the province. For over 20 years, SWF’s Guns for Habitat initiative has provided individuals the opportunity to donate firearms for a good cause and raising almost $80,000 in the process. Firearms in good working condition will be sold with the proceeds supporting SWF’s Habitat Trust program, which acquires and enhances habitat for wildlife including species at risk. A tax-deductible receipt is issued to the donor upon sale of the firearm. If the firearm cannot be sold, it may be deactivated
for use in firearms safety instruction. “Funds raised are often matched, and in some cases quadrupled, to secure critical wildlife habitat in our province,” said Darren Newberry, Habitat Coordinator for the SWF. The SWF will make arrangements to pick up
firearms anywhere across Saskatchewan. The Wildlife Federation does not accept handguns or prohibited firearms. For more information, or to participate in the Guns for Habitat program, contact the SWF at 306692-8812 or email dlnewberry@swf.sk.ca.

New mandatory standardized training requirements are now in effect for those wanting a Class 1 commercial licence in Saskatchewan to drive semi trucks. The changes were announced in December by Minister Responsible for SGI Joe Hargrave, after consultation with those in the trucking industry, training schools, additional stakeholders and other jurisdictions. Changes were the culmination of work SGI began in 2017 to improve standards for training of commercial semi drivers. “These changes will improve safety on our province’s roads by ensuring Class 1 drivers receive more rigorous standardized training, based on strengthened curriculum requirements,” Hargrave said. Highlights of the changes include: • Drivers seeking a Class 1 commercial licence in Saskatchewan to drive semi trucks will be required to undergo a minimum standardized 121.5 hours of training (in-classroom, in-yard and behind the wheel) focusing on priority curriculum areas including basic driving techniques,
professional driving habits, vehicle inspections and air brakes. • More rigorous driver’s tests, aligned with the new curriculum. • A 12-month safety monitoring program is in place (as of December 4, 2018) for all new semi drivers; SGI is monitoring semi drivers more stringently for a year post-testing so remedial action can be taken if there are safety concerns. • Class 1 road tests will be undertaken with SGI examiners only (previously, certain accredited training schools were allowed to test students). A standardized curriculum has been rolled out to training schools across the province since the changes were announced in December. Existing Class 1 drivers are grandfathered in as of the implementation date. Under the new requirements, anyone wishing to drive a semi used in farming operations as of March 15, will need to pass the same more rigorous tests, to get an “F” endorsement on their existing driver’s licence. They will be restricted to operating within Saskatchewan’s borders and will be subjected to the same 12-month monitoring program as Class 1 drivers.

Weyburn’s police force has a colourful past
By Greg Nikkel The Weyburn Police Service has a long and colourful history, Rotary Club members heard in a presentation by Deputy Chief Rod Stafford at their luncheon meeting on Thursday. The first municipal police force in Weyburn was formed in 1912, when the new town was in an economic boom, growing from a population of 2,200 in 1910 to 5,000 in 1912, the year before Weyburn officially became a city. At the start, the force was comprised of chief constable Blaikie and three other constables, said Stafford, noting one of the tools they used was a spring-loaded stun gun that used lead balls, along with .38-calibre revolvers. They had all black uniforms with white shirts, and the officers mainly had foot patrols. “As cars became available, one was accessible,” he noted, and the force operated until 1944 when it was disbanded due to the Second World War, and the RCMP took over policing of the city. The Weyburn Police Service was then reorganized in 1957 under the leadership of Chief James McCardle, who had formerly served with the RCMP. “I understand he was a most interesting individual to work for,” said Stafford, noting the force had eight members including the chief, expanding to 10 members in 1958. One of the major advances at that time was the
development of the Canadian Police Information Centre, or CPIC, which is still in operation today, connecting all police agencies across Canada. “We were able to check people for warrants, and we had access to criminal records, so it really was in effect the first computer system of police forces,” said Stafford, recalling when he first started working for the police, he had to enter everything in DOS coding. He also noted that Chief McCardle locked the access to CPIC in his office at night, “because he didn’t want people playing with it.” Ted Williams then took over as the police chief, and in the 1970s, a new Police Act came into effect for the province, and the Saskatchewan Police College was established in 1974. “The police college was a one-stop shop for municipal police forces in Saskatchewan, and is the main supplier of training for police and RCMP in the province today,” said Stafford, noting it is a very highly-regarded college across Canada. Up until then too, the police department had a total of three Colt .38-calibre handguns, which were shared around, but then every officer was issued their own firearm, and the force moved “to a more professional police service,” said Stafford, noting that during this time also the first forensic identification

Bill Millar was the first qualified officer to work in that department, he noted. He told of one instance when Millar was out at a scene and took all the photos, only to find out when he got back to the police station that he forgot to put a film in the camera.
Stafford noted there were four murders in Weyburn from the 1950s to the 70s. Gordon Dynna was sworn in as the chief in 1985, as the last original member from the department’s formation in 1957. “I don’t think any other department can claim that,” said Stafford, adding that under Dynna, Weyburn
The police also have been carrying shotguns in their cars, and after the recent events in Moncton, N.B., where RCMP officers were shot, police officers have now been moving to the carbine rifle. “We have four of those. They’re not a sniper gun, they’re to be used if you have something like a hostage incident or something like that,” said Stafford. Rod Horsman took over as the chief in 2003, who served until he retired in 2009, then Howard Georgeson was hired as the chief for two years. He was the first outside officer to be hired for this position, and the current chief, Marlo Pritchard, was the second, as he had previously served with the Regina Police Service before coming to Weyburn. Under these chiefs were such developments as the regional victim services program, run by Tara Busch, technical advancements in computer technology, and the establishment of the CTSS combined traffic services division. One position with traffic services has been funded by SGI as the city police combine their efforts with the RCMP to do traffic enforcement in the area. Something new this year for Weyburn is the hiring of the force’s first community safety officer, who will help do bylaw enforcement and traffic enforcement.
police had their first computerized system. Under this chief Weyburn also saw their first sworn female constable, he noted. “To this day we actively try to have four female officers. We’re down to three right now. It’s a tough career for females, but it’s not because it’s a male-dominated occupation, but because of the shift work and family commitments. Due to the nature of the work, it takes a special kind of female to make it work.” The police department had been located in the basement of the old City Hall until 1986, when they moved into their own building on Fourth Street. Millar was the chief from 1993 until his retirement in 2003, and Weyburn’s fifth murder occurred during this time. A major shift in terms of equipment occurred when the force moved away from the .38-calibre handgun to the semi-automatic .40-calibre Smith-and-Wesson Glock. As Stafford noted, this gun is extremely light, but the three clips with 46 rounds are not, and with the taser, flashlight and baton, the police belt weighs about 22 pounds as part of today’s police uniform. Asked if a city police officer has ever fired a weapon at someone, Stafford replied, “We’ve never shot anybody, but we have shot at people in vehicles.”
