Comp teacher to receive Award of Teaching Excellence
By Greg Nikkel Weyburn Comprehensive School Physics teacher Karen Kennedy-Allin was named as a recipient of the Prime Minister’s Awards for Teaching Excellence, and she will be presented with a Certificate of Excellence by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday, May 28 in Ottawa. “I am both humbled and honoured by this award. Words cannot express how much I appreciate this recognition,” said KennedyAllin. The Prime Minister’s Awards for Teaching Excellence have honoured exceptional elementary and secondary school teachers in all disciplines since 1993, with over 1,500 teachers honoured to date. Teaching Excellence Awards recipients are honoured for their remarkable achievements in education and for their commitment to preparing their students for a digital and innovation-based economy. The ceremony will be shown live on Facebook at 4 p.m. (Eastern time) on Tuesday, May 28. Kennedy-Allin has taught for over 25 years, and works tirelessly to improve her classes, as she is of the view that every semester is an opportunity for growth and change. Parents of a former student offered these comments about her as a teacher: “Mrs. Allin to us was more than just a teacher. She is a true inspiration of an extraordinary human being. … She never gave up on (our son). She pushed him above and beyond his limits and expectations and occasionally pushed us as well.” In addition to teaching science classes at the Weyburn Comp, she is also president of the Southeast Cornerstone Teachers Association, and through this position, she supports teachers across all grade levels and disciplines. “I would like to sincerely dedicate this award to all the teachers that
shared their skills and practices with me over the past 25-plus years. All I really needed to do was have enough courage to implement the new things that I’ve learned from others that came before me. I have always strived for classes that are hands on, project and inquiry-based,” said Kennedy-Allin. Kennedy-Allin helped to write the new Physics 30 curriculum for the province along with three other educators, and creates lessons and projects for senior science classes that are shared with teachers across the province. Previously she received the Canadian Association of Physicists Award of teaching excellence in 2017. Her primary directive is that students will not care until they know you care. She ensures that the students who need the biggest challenges to stay engaged get them, and those who can only handle smaller ones get what they need. She explained some of the reasons that she loves being a teacher. “Teaching is more than a job for me; it is a calling. I am constantly trying to make sure my students know that I deeply care about them and that I really want them to enjoy what they are learning in class. I also want them to understand that what we do in class is relevant to their every day lives,” she said, adding this message to her students, “Thank you to all my students current and past. You are the reason I do what I do.” She adapts to various learning styles, and has her students review video lessons at their own pace. She makes class notes available, and has produced 10 video lessons for students to do at home so physics class time is free for inquiry-based activities. She stresses the importance of hands-on projects to prompt innovative thinking and learning through trial and error, using such

projects as marshmallow launcher catapults, and rollercoasters using steel ball bearings, both requiring students to use and show their understanding of physics principles and laws. Kennedy-Allin conducts a student survey at the end of every semester and strives to take into account the feedback in the surveys in order to improve her courses for the next semester. She has also created the Comp School’s health and anatomy symposium, where students create displays with information on the structure and function of a human organ or body system, and how to keep it healthy. The event features interactive learning activities and parents, the media and the public are invited to attend.

A passion for learning starts with a great teacher Greg Nikkel editor@weyburnreview.com
A
sign that our children are in excellent hands in our local schools is seeing a Weyburn high school teacher being recognized for teaching excellence at the national level. Science teacher Karen Kennedy-Allin will receive the Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence in a ceremony to be held on Tuesday, May 28, in Ottawa, when she will be presented with a Certificate of Excellence. One of the comments about her, in describing some of the reasons why she merits this national award, is that she feels students will not care until they know you care as a teacher. It’s important, first of all, to know that there are teachers who care greatly about education, and about their students, and second of all, it’s important that their excellence is recognized. Our students need to know that they have a teacher who is passionate about her subject, and is also passionate about their lives and future, as this is part of the whole reason why teachers dedicate their lives to the imparting of knowledge to their students. In commenting on her reasons for being a teacher, Kennedy-Allin said, “Teaching is more than a job for me; it is a calling. I am constantly
trying to make sure my students know that I deeply care about them and that I really want them to enjoy what they are learning in class.” This is what teaching is all about for her and in leading her subjects of Physics, Environmental Science and Biology to the senior high school students at the Weyburn Comprehensive School. With a passion like that, it will ensure she will have an impact on the students far beyond just the walls of her classroom, but it will impact on the lives of the students as they go on to postsecondary school and their lives and careers. As William Butler Yeats commented, “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” In other words, a good teacher isn’t just dumping facts into the brain-pans of students, but is trying to get their students to be passionate about what they’re learning, and this will in turn lead to lifelong learning, whether a person is still in school or not. In this day and age, knowledge is important (and some would say, it’s everything), but beyond the knowledge, for a person to be fulfilled in their lives in chasing their dreams, there needs to be the passion and love of what they’re doing — and that all starts in the classroom, right from Kindergarten, through elementary up until graduation day and beyond to college or university.
No mountains too high By Linda Wegner I don’t know that I’ll ever forget that day in 1980 when Mount St. Helens erupted. At the time we lived in the southern part of British Columbia, just an hour from the Canadian-U.S. border and not far from the infamous site. Although we didn’t see the extent of the upheaval, we certainly felt its effects. For a few days our skies were dark with smoke and ash and Hubby spent time each day cleaning the debris off our car. Our experience was limited to mostly interest in following the story as well as a far bit of extra work but according to an on-line source, it was the “deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event in the history of the United States. “Fifty-seven people were killed; 250 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles (24 km) of railways, and 185 miles (298 km) of highway were destroyed.” The cost of that melting mountain reached far beyond what we were able to see.
Although such eruptions aren’t commonplace (thank God!), none of us escapes the trauma of physical, emotional or spiritual devastation. Be those events large or small, they leave us shaken and often, affected by it for the rest of our lives. This week began with news of the loss of yet another brother-in-law, the second one in six months; although that was the first event and, admittedly the most painful, there were reminders during the rest of the week that life here on earth is far from perfect. Looking back to the day Mount St. Helens blew its stack, I’m reminded that we’re called to do what we can to handle difficulties, but there are challenges so great that we need the power of God to intervene. “…the mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord.” Psalm 97:5 Mountain too high? Not for God!

Preparing the hidden treasures
Photo — April Zielke
Comp Entrepreneurship students Jorgia Johner and Mackenna Glennie prepare the necklaces that will be put into their hand-made candles. The class has five different candles available as a product for their Junior Achievement business called Melted Treasures. Johner and Glennie act as co-presidents for the company.
Comp students offer ‘Melted Treasures’
By April Zielke The second semester Comp Entrepreneurship class, comprised of Grade 11’s and 12’s, has completed business planning, marketing and creating their product of Melted Treasures. The group came up with the idea to create handmade candles that will reveal a hidden treasure of a necklace in the middle as the candle burns down. The students were voted into positions in their company, just like a legitimate business is. Mackenna Glennie and Jorgia Johner are co-presidents, Chris Fesalbon is vice president of finance, Hannah Niemegeers is vice president of sales, Kelsi Shipley and
Austin LeBlanc are the covice presidents of marketing with Carter Brown and Kyla Kater acting as their staff members, Alex Martindale is vice president of human resources with Holden Kopec acting as a staff member, Abbey Johnson is vice president of production with Vivian Huang as VP assistant and Maddy Hillstead acting as a staff member, Ethan Petersen is vice president of Information Technology and Jessica Dixon is vice president of environment, health and safety. They have five versions of the candles available: Vanilla Heaven, Lakeside, Cherry Bloom, Sweet Cinnamon and Scent Free. For a 500 ml candle, the cost
is $20 and for a 250 ml, it’s $15. The company will donate 20 per cent of their final profit to two different charities. Ten per cent will go to the Sandra Schmirler Foundation, which will help the babies in the NICU ward, and the other portion will go to the Canadian Mental Health Association in Weyburn. These candles are handmade by the students, with the supplies bought from a candle company, and are made of soy wax, wicks and soy oil-based fra-
grances. They will also be at the matinee of the musical production of Mamma Mia on Sunday, May 26, from 1 p.m. until show time at 2, and then at intermission. To order, you can contact Melted Treasures by email at jameltedtreasures@gmail.com, on Snapchat at @meltedtreasures, on Instagram at @ meltedtreasuresja and on Facebook at JAMeltedTreasures. The deadline for order entries is Wednesday, June 12.
By Anastasiia Bykhovskaia Estevan Mercury Southeast Saskatchewan Search and Rescue (SESK SAR) Chapter 19 held its first official meeting Thursday night at the Carlyle Memorial Hall. Over 30 members joined the meeting to elect executive members and directors. Katia Bigney of Estevan was chosen as the president of the chapter that as of now covers Estevan, Weyburn, Carlyle, Oxbow and everything in between, but has a strong potential for further growth. Dan Hardern and Roberta Deroiser, both from Estevan, became two vice-presidents, which was necessary for a chapter of the size of SESK SAR. Sarah Pearson of Carlyle was chosen as a secretary by acclamation, and Lana Perroult became the organization’s treasurer. Bigney, Pearson along with Chief Marlo Pritchard of Weyburn, Marlin Flavel of Weyburn, Mickey Quigley of Yellow Grass, Krista Larson of White Bear, Sara Lawrence of Weyburn, Charlotte Halbuza of Estevan and Zane Olson of Estevan formed the SESK SAR board of directors. In addition, members
volunteered to get six vital committees rolling. When first organizational steps are done, committees will proceed with their duties starting with CPR and first aid and basic search training, fundraising and looking for sponsorships and purchasing the first equipment. Members of the Adventure Smart committee will go through educational training and will start delivering children’s programs and teaching basic survival skills to southeast Saskatchewan schools willing to participate. Separate committees will be responsible for recruitment and membership as well as community relations. The organization is always open to new members and, as Parkland SARSAV chapter president Dale Hintz reminded the group, there is always work for people of all talents and abilities. Once basic training is completed, chapter members soon will be able to go on a search if someone in southeast Saskatchewan goes missing. In addition, the organization plans to dedicate their time and serve the communities making them safer and better places to live in.

Three generations of the Vilcu family travelled to Gatineau, Que., to take part in the Canadian Nationals for the World Karate Commission over the weekend, and the youngest member, Jocelyn Vilcu, came away with a first-place finish. She competed along with her father Isaac, and her grandfather Harold, who was their coach for the competition. Jocelyn competed in the 15-17 year old category for under 60 kg, and won first place in continuous sparring. Isaac competed in the veterans category for those 42 years and up in the 85-plus kg category, and he placed seventh in two competitions, points sparring and traditional kata. The competition was a qualifier for the world
championships, and the top four in each category are eligible to go. While Jocelyn is eligible to advance, Isaac said they decided not to go this time but to concentrate instead on training more. “It’s a whole high level of competition,” said Isaac. “We were competing against not only Canada’s best, but some of the world’s best karate experts.” He noted some of his competitors are highly ranked by the North American Sport Karate association, and the National Black Belt League, in addition to the World Karate Commission, so while he didn’t place in the top four of his two competitions, he is happy that he was able to place seventh against these athletes.
Junior football team coming to the southeast region in 2020 By David Willberg, Estevan Mercury The people trying to bring junior football to the southeast region are excited to announce that the team, known as the Southeast Junior Roughnecks, is slated to begin play next year. Jason Bresciani, who is at the helm of the initiative along with Frank DeBruyn, said they won’t
be able to get the team off the ground in 2019, so they will begin play in 2020. “It will give us a year to get our sponsorship in order and get the operational costs in the bank. We should be officially going next year,” Bresciani said. The goal will be to have a fall camp later this year, then move into an offseason winter program

to get ready for next year. A meeting for prospective players will take place on Saturday, June 22, at the Western Star Hotel in Estevan, starting at 7 p.m. The Roughnecks can accept players who are between the ages of 18 and 21 at the end of this year. Coaches are also needed for the program. “Right away we want to start reaching out to anybody who is interested in coaching who wants to commit to the 2020 season,” said Bresciani. A ny o n e i n t e r e s t e d in coaching can email southeast.jr.football@ gmail.com. Applications will be due by June 8. Then they will make their selection. Prospective players who can’t make it
to the meeting are also encouraged to email DeBruyn and Bresciani. The Roughnecks are also still looking for people to be on the board, and they are also in need of sponsors. Operation costs will be the biggest need, to cover busing, hotels, food, field rentals and other expenses. “Our normal operational costs are going to be quite a bit. We’re doing our best with equipment to get as many hand-me-downs as we can.” Sponsors will be needed for equipment, jerseys and even travel. Bresciani stressed the team has received some great support from the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Regina Thunder. The Roughriders provided equip-
ment to the Thunder, who in turn supplied it to the Roughnecks. It’s still in good shape, and it’s still certified, or the Roughnecks wouldn’t have acquired it. “If it wasn’t for the Riders donating along the line, we wouldn’t have equipment already,” he said. Bresciani and DeBruyn announced their intention earlier this year to bring junior football to the southeast, in an effort to give kids a chance to play football locally after high school. They would be playing in the Manitoba Major Junior Football League, which has teams in Winnipeg and Brandon. Communication is ongoing between the Roughnecks and the league, and Bresciani said the club
will be welcome into the league next year. B r e s c i a n i b e l i eve s there is still a lot of interest in this team. “I believe there is still a good buzz around there, and a buzz around the area,” said Bresciani. “Myself and Frank DeBruyn, we’ve still been getting approached at the rinks. We do get some Facebook messages, and the interest is there. We just have to keep pushing and keep promoting it. That’s the biggest thing right now. We have to promote who we are and what we are, and why we’re doing this.” The team is a regional initiative, and they have received interest from prospective players in Weyburn, Carlyle, Moosomin, Estevan and other communities.
Thank you

Not only did they win several other prize categories, including Top Mixed Team and Top Central Walleye Trail (CWT) members, but they won the very first RRWC back in 2015. With a second place finish of 30.40 lbs., Clayton Harkins of Bienfait, and Darren Anton of Estevan took home the Alumacraft boat package sponsored by Mercury Service Ltd. and Woodlake Marine, valued at $5,500. Rounding out the top three was Paul Skoczylas of Estevan, and Mike Reid of Virden, Man., weighing in with a two-day total of 30.09 lbs. over ten fish for $2,500. Other big winners for
the 2019 RRWC were Quintin Becker and Jay Zadorozniak, both of Radville, weighing in a gorgeous 7.66-lb. walleye for the big fish of the tournament and $960 in cash. The father-son team of Brad Graham of Bienfait and Travis Graham of Carievale, took home $1,000 from the Weyburn Wildlife Federation for Cool Under Pressure, having moved up 30 spots from Day One to Day Two. The top local team was Lyman Sargent of Weyburn, and Colton Tochor of North Weyburn, receiving a prize pack worth $600 from New Age Motor Sports, Liquor Spot/ Dallas Pizza, and Prairie Sky Co-Op. The Rafferty Reservoir Walleye Cup began in 2015 as the first CWT Qualifier here in Saskatchewan. It launched as a one-day tournament with 55 boats on the May long weekend at Mainprize Regional Park, and grew steadily until 2018, when the anglers themselves voted over-
whelmingly to make it a two-day event. In addition to drawing anglers from across Canada and the northern U.S. to the Weyburn area, the RRWC has become the first Saskatchewan fishing tournament in more than a decade to be televised, courtesy of Access Communications. The on-air date has not been set as yet. The RRWC is one of four fishing tournaments hosted by IOMPresents, the event’s management division of Innovative Outdoorsman Marketing, and is also the first stop on the Sask Slam, which is a provincial catch-andrelease walleye tournament trail. The event’s caterer was Tammy’s Homestyle Cooking, who provided an extraordinary feast that the anglers are still stalking about, and the fantastic volunteers from the Bird Doggin’ Classic of Goodwater. IOMPresents will next host the Boundary Bass Classic in Woodlawn Regional Park south of Estevan on Saturday, June 15.
The Ministry of Health is reminding Saskatchewan residents that warmer weather brings an increased risk of tick bites for those who spend time outdoors. Ticks are out from early spring until October, particularly in tall grass, brush or wooded areas. The risk for Lyme disease – an infectious disease
spread by black-legged ticks - is low in Saskatchewan, but not zero. Most ticks found in Saskatchewan are the American dog tick. This species is not capable of transmitting Lyme disease to people. Rocky Mountain wood ticks and the winter tick (or moose tick) are also found in Saskatchewan. As of December 31,
2018, 28,899 ticks had been collected and identified in Saskatchewan and only 71 were black-legged ticks. Among these 71, only 10 black-legged ticks tested positive for the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. For more information on ticks and Lyme disease, visit http://www.saskatchewan.ca/lyme.
Residents advised to watch for ticks

The story of Kailynn Bur Girl Guides approved to paint intersection in rainbow colours How STARS he A
PAGE 10 - WEYBURN THIS WEEK
By Greg Nikkel Approval was given by Weyburn’s city council to the Weyburn Girl Guides to paint a downtown intersection in rainbow colours on a one-year trial basis. The district commissioner for the Girl Guides Rainbow District, Abby Kradovill, explained that Girl Guides of Canada has a commitment to inclusion in their culture, programming and practices to support girls and women, to ensure they feel safe, respected, supported and inspired to reach their potential. Representatives of Pathfinders and Guides spoke to council, noting that the Weyburn group has been working on a community service project to improve the streets of Weyburn, and proposed to paint the intersection of Third Street and Coteau Avenue in rainbow colours to make them bright and safe for all city residents. “We would really like to do this because we want all diverse groups to feel safe and welcome,” said Guide member Kadyn VanAlstyne, who noted the group has been working with the youth council on this proposal, and they helped the girls to bring the proposal forward. They sent letters to the owners of properties at the intersection, with letters of support from the City and the Weyburn Credit Union.
The other two corners have Grace United Church and the old City Hall building, owned by Greaves Holdings, and the girls are hopeful of a positive response from them. Guide member Jillian Forseth noted that Weyburn

Aerobic Fitness Club donates to Humane Society
Photo 4970 — Greg Nikkel
Members of the Weyburn Aerobic Fitness Club gathered to present a donation of $450 to the Weyburn Humane Society, as the fitness club is disbanding. In the back row from left are Marg Marinos, Linda Olson, Laura Chapman, Lydia Milleker, Kay Molder and Vivian Vinge. In the middle row are Betty Sellers, Sharon Mulhall, Linda McFadden, Elaine Pulfer and Shirley Miller. In front are Sharon Hoeving, presenting the donation to Wendy Pitre and Kelly Linnell of the Humane Society. The fitness club began around 1979, first meeting at the Souris Valley Extended Care Centre before moving to the Signal Hill Arts Centre, the Kinsmen Hall, the Youth Centre and finally they met at the Dance Zone building.
Activities planned for Jumpstart Day, May 25 A day of games and activities are being planned for Jumpstart Day, a fundraiser event to help families be able to enjoy organized sports. The day will be held at the Canadian Tire parking lot on Saturday, May 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will have
face-painting, pedal cars, games, bouncy castles, a bake sale and a barbecue, and there will raffles and a silent auction. Members of the Weyburn Red Wings will be on hand to play street hockey with whoever is interested, and Chase from Paw Patrol and princesses will make
appearances to meet their young fans. Members of the Weyburn Police Service and Weyburn Fire Department will also be there. The silent auction will include Rider tickets and memorabilia, and beautiful flowers. The raffles will include tickets for a 20-gallon oil-free compressor, a
pergola or for a $100 Canadian Tire gift card. All of the proceeds will go to Jumpstart, which assists families with the costs of enrolling children in sports. Last year, Jumpstart helped 313 children in Weyburn, with $4,619 given in community development grants.
The Weyburn Communithon is celebrating their connection to the community by revealing a brand new logo. Earlier in the year, they launched a logo contest, and received lots of great submissions from the community. Brad Istace submitted a design that had many great elements, and another element was incorporated from another design submitted by Sabrina Kraft. The Communithon committee will be using this logo on their new website, Facebook page, posters, advertising and media releases. The committee also loved a poster design that was inspired by Grayson Kopec, which will soon hit the streets of Weyburn that promotes Communithon. Artists from the community are encouraged to create their own Communithon poster, focused on the “Blast to The Past” theme, and submit it to them at CommunithonCommittee@sasktel. net. These posters will be placed throughout the city in the months leading up to Communithon. This year, Communithon will be hosted at the
Weyburn Royal Canadian Legion on Friday, October 25, 2019. During community consultations, there were many who wanted Communithon to return to its roots at the Weyburn Legion, and organizers are happy to be back in the downtown core for the annual fundraiser. With their production partner of Access 7, work is already underway behind the scenes to ensure a great Communithon. Funds raised during Communithon help support many local programs and services offered by community agencies. Donations made to the Communithon will stay in the community of Weyburn. The committee has also finalized their list of 2019 community agencies. They are Big Brothers Big Sisters Weyburn, Canadian Mental Health Association, Canadian Red Cross, Community Low Income Centre, CNIB Foundation, Envision Counselling and Support Centre, Inclusion Weyburn, Spinal Cord Injury Saskatchewan, Weyburn Care-a-Van Society, Weyburn Special Care Home Auxiliary and the Weyburn Youth Centre.

Midale School wins Makeover grant
Midale Central School was chosen as one of 10 schools across the province to receive a $10,000 grant from the Mosaic Extreme School Makeover Challenge program. More than 80 schools from across the province submitted projects to compete for the total of $100,000 in prizes provided by Mosaic. The grants support projects that have goals including creating or improving kitchen and garden facilities, enhancing education for students, families and communities about nutrition, food safety, life skills and Indigenous knowledge, aiding in the path towards reconciliation, and developing or furthering breakfast, snack and other programs. At Midale, the school already has a breakfast program, and this grant will enable that to expand to a snack program, providing healthy snacks for the students, said principal Kathy Harvey, along with helping the school to renovate the kitchen and buy equipment. “We are also going to
engage with outside agencies to bring in physical activities for the children, such as mental health, yoga, meditation, and things that lead to lifelong initiatives,” said Harvey, adding the grant will also enable workshops for parents on such topics as healthy eating and improving mental health. “The response to this program continues to grow year over year, which speaks to the need for and interest in making nutrition a daily part of student lives,” said Sarah Fedorchuk, vice-president of public affairs and government relations for Mosaic. “Helping the world grow the food it needs is our mission at Mosaic, and we look forward to hearing about the efforts of the 10 winning schools as they help connect students with food and nutrition in unique ways,” she added. The Mosaic Challenge began in 2006 when Mosaic partnered with the Saskatchewan School Boards Association to encourage grassroots initiatives to help improve student nutrition.

Queen Elizabeth students Callie Dammann, Emily Alexander and Jyllian Payak were all smiles as they mugged for the camera while waiting in line for a hot dog, at the Spring Fling event hosted by Inclusion Weyburn on Thursday evening at Dominic’s Place. The Grade 6 class from Queen Elizabeth held a clothing drive for Inclusion Weyburn as a class project, and hosted a fun photo booth at the Spring Fling, which featured a dance, silent auction and face-painting along with the barbecue.

GEMINI – May 22/Jun 21 Others look to you for guidance this week, Gemini. Try to lead them in the right direction. If you do not have all of the answers, try to find them. CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Take some time to sort through personal issues that may be holding your career back, Cancer. Once you clear your mind, you can focus fully on your career. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 If you find yourself spending more time with your social circle rather than family, you may have to reassess your priorities, Leo. Don’t let responsibilities slide. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 Direct your energy toward work in the days ahead, Virgo. There is a possible promotion in the works, so now is a great time to put your nose to the grindstone. LIBRA – Sept 23/Oct 23 Sometimes the key to success is to know when to step back and take a break, Libra. Periodic respites from the daily grind can help you recharge and refocus. SCORPIO – Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may be looking for something new to keep yourself occupied. Try learning a new sport or a language. This is a fun way to meet new people and stay busy. SAGITTARIUS – Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, if you have been procrastinating of late, keep in mind that you will ultimately need to get things done. Better to get back on track sooner rather than later. CAPRICORN – Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, support a reputable cause or charity. Doing so sets a positive example, and you will feel better for having done so. Even small efforts can make a profound impact. AQUARIUS – Jan 21/Feb 18 It isn’t enough to simply get the job done, Aquarius. You need to do everything to the best of your ability. If you do, you will have a sense of accomplishment and pride. PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, ask others for help if you are having any difficulties in your personal life. They can bring a new perspective to the situation. ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you are a terrific planner, but something is getting in the way of plans to socialize in the days ahead. Commit to seeing friends regardless of the obstacles in your way. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 You can handle difficult situations with ease, Taurus. Others may think that you are uncaring, but you focus on the facts and not the emotions of the situation.

By Ana Bykhovskaia, Estevan Mercury Born in Oxbow, this not very big man was an NHL Stanley Cup champion. Ten years ago Theo Fleury published a book named Playing with Fire: The Highest Highs and the Lowest Lows. This best-selling autobiography was telling his story of sexual abuse. Later it led to him becoming an expert in the field of relational trauma as he realized that helping others to deal with trauma and heal was much more important for him than anything before. Fleury spoke to a crowd of about 300 people on Thursday at a luncheon celebrating Envision Counselling and Support Centre’s 25 years in the southeast. Envision’s silver anniversary luncheon was held at the Power Dodge Curling Centre in Estevan. He also led a trauma workshop on Wednesday in Weyburn. Envision’s executive director Christa Daku opened the event. “As you know the impacts of trauma can impact families and communities for many generations to come. A special thank you to Theo, for joining us and giving us a two-day celebration, and honouring us with your presence, your healing journey experience and your encouragement to continue to do what we wholeheartedly believe in in these communities,” said Daku. As the organization continues to forge ahead it was important to celebrate the impacts they’ve had on the communities in southeast Saskatchewan, where throughout past 25 years probably every person either received help and support from the Envision or knows at least one person whose life was affected by this nonprofit organization. Envision’s assistant executive director Lynda Rideout also spoke about the role the community was playing in the organization’s work through years. “The support that we receive here in the southeast is phenomenal, and I would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the families and friends that support our Envision staff… Your support and ongoing encouragement make it so much easier for us to do the important work that we do day after day,” said Rideout. Fleury took guests on an emotional trip, uncovering his personal story and experience of abuse, addictions and healing. As he was talking about trauma, forgiveness and hope, guests sat in silence and some had tears in their eyes. And then Fleury made the audience laugh, as he entwined some jokes making his speech very informal and touching. He also shared his moment of truth when he realized the impact his book had on people. “I showed up in the big-
gest Indigo Chapters store in all of Canada, three-storieshigh in downtown Toronto on Yonge Street … I walked through the front towards the book store and there are 400 people standing on with my book. And I’m like, ‘What the hell are all these people doing here?’ This is strange. I’m not Wayne Gretzky; I’m not Mario Lemieux. I’m a decent, good hockey player, but I’m not those guys. Why are there 400 people at this book signing?” “I start signing books. Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted this guy in line. And he’s got my book tucked against his chest. His face was buried, looking forward. He was walking very slow. I was like, ‘Hm, I wonder what’s up with that guy.’ So I follow him all way in the line, he got to the front of the line, put the book on the table, looked me in the eye and said, ‘Me too.’” Since then Fleury has dedicated his life to working in the field of trauma, mental health and addiction, all of which he personally experienced and was able to overcome. Through his own life he learned that forgiveness was one of the key points in the healing process, since, according to his words, only forgiveness can set an abused person free from a traumatic experience. Fleury also noted that healing has to happen physically, emotionally and spiritually. Standing on the stage he was talking about being raped numerous times by his junior hockey coach Graham James. Not only he was healed, but he also became a true healer. As he was guiding the crowd through his life path of trauma, healing and recovery, a lot of people reflected on their own past. The silence that grew in the building as he was talking, according to Fleury, was a sign that a safe space was created in the audience. He used his own vulnerability to achieve that, and that’s what’s needed to get the magic of healing to happen. His passion for helping others and his approach to healing through creating safe spaces, listening and giving people hope strongly resonated with Envision’s dedication to communities they serve, and a lot of his activities in this field are compliant with Envision’s work. “I would say that Envision is the epitome of vulnerability and home space. That’s why they’ve been around for 25 years. It’s because they change people’s lives, give people hope, because trauma, mental health and addiction is the biggest epidemic on the planet. I have not run into anything bigger than this,” said Fleury. He is on the road 250 days a year, and all he sees is pain and suffering, which he believes are unnecessary if we learn forgiveness.
