‘Girls Who Game’ showcase succesful pilot program
Watching the ‘Girls Who Game’ at work
Photo 1070 — Greg Nikkel
Superintendent of Educaton Aaron Hiske listened as Electra explained her part in coding for the game Minecraft, while teacher Jody Abel and IT specialist Michael Van Betuw did the same. The Grade 4/5 girls explained their role in the pilot Girls Who Game program, which ended in April. The girls put on a presentation to show what they learned, with a demonstration by showing what they coded for the game. By Greg Nikkel A group of girls in Grade 4/5 were selected out of all classrooms in Saskatchewan to pilot the “Girls Who Game” program, along with one class from each province, and learned all about coding in a computer game. The pilot began at the end of April and will end June 20, and the girls put on a presentation to talk about what they learned. They had administrators from the Southeast Cornerstone School Division office, and representatives from Dell, which had put the pilot program forward for classes to try it out across Canada. The girls summarized many of the things they learned in points, and then put on a demonstration on their laptops to show what they were able to code, using the popular video game Minecraft. “We have way more power than we imagined. Before we were regu-
lar girls, now we are like famous YouTubers,” the girls said in one point. Among the things they learned was how to code, and the fact that coding is different from gaming, explaining in their powerpoint, “It’s like the difference in building a car and driving a car. Coding is building, it takes a lot of thinking and working out problems. Sometimes it works, but usually it takes lots of tries.” They pointed out that many things used commonly by people in normal life use coding. “People can code robots or make cool things. Lots of things take coding to work. We are kids, and already are learning to code, so we will be really good by the time we graduate.” The girls learned such lessons as patience, and thinking and working together to work out problems and difficulties. The lessons in patience were “because we had to wait for codes to work.

We needed to think about things step by step, and sometimes we walk it out on whiteboards. We learned to code in chunks and test it instead of going too far and not knowing where your mistakes are.” They also learned about problem-solving skills, saying, “It helps us practice a growth mindset where we talk positive to ourselves, sometimes a little bit of help doesn’t hurt. We can be creative with no limits to our imaginations.” Each girl listed some of the things she learned in this program. Asia said, “I learned to be more patient. Now I know to take a break or try something else for a bit then try again. That helps me to focus.” “I have learned that coding doesn’t always work out, so you might have to try more than once to get it. It feels good when I get it to work,” said Saydee. “I have learned to code my agent to move and
build,” said Erynn. “If you think you can’t do it on your own, you might need help, and that’s okay. You can keep trying, ask a friend or go on Flipgrid. You can ask your teacher if they know what to do. Ours doesn’t – that is okay.” One student, Kinley, said she might want to do computer stuff when she’s older, and another, Electra, said, “I learned how to do all these awesome things like Chicken Rain. It’s where you code to make animals rain down.” Aurora noted she’s played Minecraft for most
of her life ever since she learned how to use a computer, and added, “I’ve learned how to work with others and let your creativity flow through and thinking of reality in a very different way. It can get rid of stress, but sometimes it gives stress. Minecraft lets me think in a way of creativity and to let go of stress if I have it.” Their teacher, Jodi Abel, told the group that the lessons were student-driven, and they determined what the lessons were about. “I had virtually no ex-
perience or knowledge. The expertise was the ability to take on a challenge, and that came from the kids as well,” she said, noting there were times that the girls talked out problems on their own without getting her or others to figure it out for them. “We came together not sure what we were going to learn,” said the girls, “but we knew it would be cool because of all the cool stuff Dell sent us. … We were able to solve problems with time and get used to them. After we figured it out, it was fun.”

NATIONAL UNITY IS NOT THREATENED BY PREMIERS Greg Nikkel editor@weyburnreview.com
T
he Prime Minister of Canada has a lot of nerve to stand up and try to sound upset at the Conservative premiers who dared to criticize the crippling and negative legislation his Liberal government wishes to enact, which would gravely hurt the oil and gas industry, among other things. The six premiers, which included the two premiers (Moe and Kenney) who had just spoken on this very subject in Weyburn at the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show, issued a joint letter at the Global Petroleum Show in Calgary, decrying the bills which will hamstring the oil industry as an attack on national unity. In his smugness and hypocrisy, Trudeau had the audacity to stand up and criticize the premiers, saying they’re just upset that they’re not getting their way, and then claiming it is they who are threatening national unity by their claims. The PM very clearly did not read (or if he read it, did not comprehend) the letter issued by the premiers, because they raised a legitimate concern to which he is completely deaf. Bill C-69 would impose unreasonable conditions on any development (such as pipelines, which Trudeau has been working against throughout his term in office). It is far, far beyond not “getting their way”, it goes to the very health and well-being of an industry
which is being attacked on all sides as some sort of evil entity for having the temerity to extract crude petroleum for the use of every person in Canada. The fact that the oil and gas industry in Saskatchewan (and in other Canadian jurisdictions) operates under some of the most stringent environmental standards in the world is never mentioned by the Liberal prime minister or by any of the environmental activists who are being paid to protest against them. Where are the protests about the dirty oil being produced by countries with low health and work standards and flagrant human rights violations? Guess what? Nobody has ever said a peep about any of these countries who are importing their oil to this country, because Saskatchewan and Alberta’s oil can’t be delivered out of their landlocked positions. This landlock also forces oil producers here to take highway robbery low prices for their oil because the U.S. has the monopoly as a customer, thus the huge differential between what oil producers here are paid compared to the price American producers get. The compound effect of all of this, exacerbated by the fact that pipelines can’t seem to get built here, will impact on national unity, not the premiers who are merely trying to point out this situation to a deaf and blind federal government. So little Justin really needs to take his ball and sit down, and stop snivelling at the mean premiers who are only pointing out the real situation he is causing.
Making music with cymbals By Linda Wegner Reading through more lists of names and assignments in the Old Testament, I’ve confessed before and now reiterate my confession that I sometimes find them challenging (probably “boring” is more accurate but not sure I should use that word when referring to God’s Word). To redeem myself while sensing those emotions, I also pray regularly that God would teach me something valuable from these portions of Scripture, even when I sometimes wonder what that something could possibly be. The other day, however, 1 Chronicles 15:16 jumped out at me; here’s what it says: “ And David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.” (KJV) One thing became very clear: it was me that was “dull”, not God’s Word nor David’s instructions to his musicians!
Although the cymbal, on its own, produces a far from pleasing or melodic sound, when in its proper place and order alongside the other members of the orchestra, its contribution is most valuable. As believers in Christ and, importantly, as part of the Body of Christ, we need each other to compliment a sacred offering of harmony to the Lord. He loves and deals with us individually but He also instructs us to recognize and contribute to the collective ministry He has given us to do. While our “instrument” may not seem as important or visible as that of others, God has given us the exact talents He wants us to use for His glory. “For, dear brothers, you have been given freedom: not freedom to do wrong, but freedom to love and serve each other.” Galatians 5:13 (Living Bible) I believe that David, an oft-victim of unkindness, would add a hearty Amen! Clang away, cymbals!

Plastics ban should have input from businesses The federal government must conduct a thorough economic impact assessment before taking steps to implement a national singleuse plastics ban, says the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). The move towards a full ban, announced on Monday, could hurt small businesses if it is put into action without taking them into consideration. “Small business owners support measures that seek to protect the environment, but they want to be part of the conversation,” said CFIB president Dan Kelly. “It would be irresponsible to put such a sweeping measure into place without fully studying the possible impacts on
Canada’s small businesses first. There is no reason why sound environmental policy and economic development can’t go hand-in-hand.” Small businesses that produce plastic products may have to very quickly change their product lines if the ban comes into place as early as 2021, as announced by the government. Similarly, restaurants and retailers who use plastic products will need to find alternative products to use in serving their customers. “This announcement raises a lot of questions for small businesses,” added Marilyn BraunPollon, CFIB’s VicePresident, Prairie and Agri-business. “If done hastily, this policy could add a whole lot of new

What is Pentecost all about? The word Pentecost in its simplest form means 50. The day of Pentecost happened 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, on Easter Sunday. Why do Christians celebrate the Day of Pentecost? While Jesus was alive on earth, in John 14:16-17 he promised to send the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to indwell his disciples as proof or a seal (Eph. 1:13) that they belonged to Him, to be with them wherever they went to spread the gospel message, God’s presence with them. Is the Holy Spirit (God’s presence) not everywhere in the world? Yes, according to John 16: 8-12 He is in the world everywhere, convicting people of sin and drawing them to repentance so they can have a relationship with God, because of Jesus’ shed blood for us on the cross. When we repent of our sins and are forgiven, the Holy Spirit comes and dwells within us (John 14:17). Let us see how this occurred. Before resurrection day (John 20:9), scripture says they didn’t understand why Jesus had to die and what he said about rising from the dead. On resurrection day, after Jesus had appeared to a number of them during the day, the disciples had gathered on resurrection day evening (John 20:19). Jesus appeared to them and they still didn’t understand what had happened. Why? This was because they didn’t have revelation (understanding) of the scripture, because they didn’t have the Holy Spirit’s indwelling presence. So, what happened next? Jesus breathed on them (John 20:22) and imparted or gave them the indwelling Holy Spirit so they could understand all the scriptures. In John 14:26, John 16:13-14 and Luke 24:45, this is confirmed, “then he opened their understanding that they might understand the scriptures.” So why four verses later did he command them to wait in Jerusalem to be endured with power from on high? (also Acts 1:4, “The promise of the father”) What happened on the Day of Pentecost? (50 days after the resurrection of Jesus). Jesus had gone back to heaven and asked God the Father to send the Holy Spirit upon his disciples. So, as they were waiting, and praying in the upper room in Jerusalem the Holy Spirit came. You can read the story in Acts 2. The question I have is if Jesus breathed on them on resurrection day and they received the Holy Spirit, what was the day of Pentecost all about? Acts 1:8 tells us we shall receive power after the Holy Spirit comes upon you to be witnesses for Jesus, so the day of Pentecost was all about receiving power to be witnesses for Jesus. We see three aspects of the ministry of the Holy Spirit. 1. The Holy Spirit is everywhere drawing people to Jesus; 2. The Holy Spirit indwells (resides Inside) us once we repent and receive Jesus as our savior; 3. the Holy Spirit comes upon us to empower us to be bold witnesses for him. So this is what the day of Pentecost is all about, celebrating the Holy Spirit coming to empower his people to be witnesses for Him. Have you received the coming of the Holy Spirit on you to be a witness for Jesus? You can ask him and receive empowerment today if you choose.

Golf tournament set for Hospital Foundation The ninth annual fundraiser golf tournament will be held for the Weyburn and District Hospital Foundation on Thursday, June 20, including three alumni of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and a tailgate party. To take part in the golf tournament, the entry is $375 per person, which will include breakfast, golf, a cart and tickets to the tailgate party to follow in the evening at Boston Pizza. The Riders alumni who will be part of the day include Chris Getzlaf, Andrew Greene and Mike Abou-Mechrek. Tickets for just the tailgate party are $50 each, and includes cocktails at 4:30 p.m. and supper, with
the Riders versus Ottawa Redblacks on TV (kickoff at 5:30), all-you-can-eat pizza, wings and more. The party will also include drink specials, raffles and a live auction. The awards, presentations and live auction will be done at halftime of the CFL game.

The golf tournament will have a shotgun start at 10:30 a.m., and is a Texas scramble format. There are prizes for the men’s and women’s longest drive, $25,000 hole-in-one opportunities, and a “closest to the bedpan” contest.

CANCER – Jun 22/Jul 22 Put a strong face on if upsetting news comes your way, Cancer. You’re tough enough to get through it, and you may need to take a leadership role. LEO – Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, don’t throw in the towel when things do not go your way. Simply find another work-around or tactic that may prove a path to success. Keep trying. VIRGO – Aug 24/Sept 22 A few things are coming up that will be completely out of your control, Virgo. Letting go of the reins can be good for you once in a while. And you may learn a thing or two.

PISCES – Feb 19/Mar 20 Be sure to periodically check your on your finances, Pisces. If much has been flowing out, you may have to curb spending for a little bit. ARIES – Mar 21/Apr 20 Start sorting through things, Aries. You have many irons in the fire and not much time to get things done. You might have to call in a backup team to help out. TAURUS – Apr 21/May 21 Relationships take work, Taurus. You have to put in the effort if you want to see yours blossom to its full potential. Schedule some time to spend with your sweetheart.

Local RMs get MREP grants for municipal roads
The RM of Lomond and the RM of Cymri received grants through the Municipal Roads for the Economy program (MREP) to make improvements on local roads. Each RM received a grant of $750,000 for hot mix upgrades to local roads this year. The MREP program provides funding for municipal infrastructure that is impacted by increased truck traffic, with 14 RMs in total receiving grants this year from the province. “Our network of rural roads are often the starting point for Saskatchewan goods on their path to global markets,” said High-
ways and Infrastructure minister Lori Carr. MREP is administered by the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM), and cover up to 50 per cent of the costs of road projects. It also covers between 30 and 80 per cent of the costs of bridge and culvert repairs.

Minimum wage to increase this fall
The minimum wage in Saskatchewan will increase to $11.32 an hour from $11.06 an hour on October 1, 2019. The increase was calculated based on an indexation formula the province has used since 2011. Increases to the basic
and spousal income tax exemptions, the dependent child tax credit and the Saskatchewan low income tax credit allow the province’s minimum wage earners and other low income earners to keep more of their money. Saskatchewan’s legisla-
tion provides for an annual review based on changes to the Consumer Price Index and the average hourly wage for the previous year. Any changes to the minimum wage are to be announced by June 30, and changes take effect October 1.

Envision Counselling receives support
The Weyburn Credit Union and Weyburn Oilwomen Association combined their efforts to raise funds for Envision Counselling and Support Centre, to help them celebrate their 25th anniversary, while the Credit Union was marking its own milestone year. Weyburn Credit Union is celebrating 75 years in 2019 and celebrating all year long. As part of their celebrations, staff were invited to wear jeans on Fridays in 2019; in return, each staff member donated $75 to Envision for the privilege. Weyburn Credit Union decided to top up
the amount to an even $7,500 to celebrate their 75 years. As Envision Counselling and Support Centre celebrated their 25th anniversary in May, WCU partnered with the Weyburn Oilwomen to plan something special to help Envision Counselling celebrate. To show support and thank them for their 25 years of service, WCU and Weyburn Oilwomen arranged a city-wide Denim for Donations month and invited all local businesses to participate. Everyone who participated made a donation of $5 to Envision Counselling to wear jeans
to work each Friday in May, a total of $25 to celebrate 25 years. An additional $2,500 was raised through the Denim for Donations initiative. Without donors, Envision Counselling could not provide the variety of services that they offer in the southeast and that service is so important to the community. WCU and Weyburn Oilwomen were supported by local businesses and their staff, who showed their generosity and support of Envision Counselling, including Cogent CPA LLP, Haig School, NSWB, Weyburn Eye Care, Barber
Motors, The Family Place and MNP LLP. When asked why they chose to support Envision Counselling, Tana Torkelson, VP of Marketing remarked, “We so admire the work this organization does. There is such a need for these types of services and never enough funding so we are happy to help them with the great work they are doing.” She added, “I thought it was fascinating we donated $7,500 to celebrate our 75 years, and with the help of the Weyburn Oilwomen raised $2,500 to celebrate Envision Counselling’s 25 years.”
Bridal competition winner Hairstylist student Jennifer Wilson was the first place winner, with her model Harmony Ausland, in the Southeast College’s bridal competition at the Teach and Trim program. The students had to do a full bridal look including hair, makeup, wardrobe and accessories. Bailey Dionne came in second with her model Danica Dionne, and Summer Sheldon was third with her model Kelly Sheldon. Dionne also won the People’s Choice Photo — April Zielke Award for her work.

President's Report
This year marks 90 years in the community of Weyburn, first as Weyburn Co-op, now as Prairie Sky Co-op. This success has been achieved by the vision of our past board members, our management team and staff, and membership support. For the past 27 years, Don Kraft led the team as General Manager, having retired on March 29th. I would like to thank him for his dedication and commitment to helping build this Co-op to where it is today. I would also like to welcome Kevin Arthur, who has taken the role of General Manager at Prairie Sky Co-op. Together, we are looking at new opportunities to keep evolving, looking at the future to continue meeting our member’s needs and supporting the community. We are continuing to look at growing towards our neighboring communities while supporting local non-profit organizations, community projects, cultural and sport activities in our current communitities.

We have allocated $3.8 million back to our members, with just over $2.5 million total cash paid out. Thank you for your support and allowing us to continue sharing our strong year with all of our members.

General Manager's Report
I am excited to join Prairie Sky Co-op and continue the good work that has been done over the last 90 years. I started at a good time – right before we hand out $2.5 million in equity cheques to our members! I look forward to meeting our members during our week long Equity Days celebration. It is rewarding to work for a company that is locally-owned and gives so much back to the community. In 2018 we donated over $100,000 to local charities and were a major contributor to the local economy in the communities we serve. We participated in the Communities in Full Colour Program and donated paint to Milestone Minor Baseball and the Weyburn Royal Canadian Legion #47. Prairie Sky Co-op has 9 locations in 4 communities and has been actively planning to make investments in our facilities to serve you better. We are just finishing the final touches on an upgrade to our Milestone Food & Liquor Store. Stop by and check out our walk-in beer cooler and new fixtures throughout the store.

90th Anniversary
Prairie Sky Co-op has been operating in and serving the community of Weyburn since 1929. On June 26, 1929, J.S. McGowan, E.M. Robins, J.E. Powers, J.N. Rinehart and D.F. Coleman signed the first Weyburn Co-operatives Association Limited “Memorandum of Association,” receiving capital stock of 100 shares of $50.00 each. After 85 years, the Weyburn Cooperative Limited had it's last annual meeting. All members were very excited for the future of the Co-op with the amalgamation of Weyburn and Beaubier Cooperatives and the renaming of the co-operative to Prairie Sky Co-op. In honour of our 90th Anniversary on June 26th, we will be giving away two gift baskets (valued at $90/each) on that day. You can enter to win in-store at any of our Weyburn locations or through our Facebook page (@Prairieskycoop) on June 26th only. WWW.PRAIRIESKYCOOP.COM
