Tenille Arts recognized as CCMA’s ‘Rising Star’ Weyburn’s own Tenille Arts started the week with news her current single, “Everybody Knows Everybody,” hit the Top 30 in Canada, and ended the week winning the Rising Star award at the 38th Annual Canadian Country Music Association Awards on Sunday night. A stunned Tenille was presented the trophy as she was about to introduce Lindsay Ell’s performance during a taped segment in Nashville. “It is such an honour to take home the Rising Star Award,” said Tenille. “I just can’t believe this. I look at the list of Rising Star nominees, and we’ve all worked really hard for a lot of years. I started coming to the CCMA Awards when I was 17 just to experience it. I’m so excited about the community of country music in Canada, and I can’t thank everyone
enough for voting for me.” The official music video for “Everybody Knows Everybody”, which was written by Tenille, with Alex Kline and Allison Veltz, was released on Monday, the morning after her big award win. The upbeat song is included on her “Love, Heartbreak, & Everything In Between” album on 19th & Grand Records, which had also been nominated as the Album of the Year at the CCMAs. Tenille’s “Somebody Like That” single, which she also wrote with Alex Kline and Allison Veltz, hit No. 27 Mediabase and No. 28 Billboard in the U.S. this week. The song spent three weeks atop the Radio Disney Country Chart and netted her Songwriter of the Year at May’s Saskatchewan Country Music Awards. Tenille made her first
appearance on the ABCTV show, “The Bachelor”, in January 2018 singing her original song “Moment of Weakness.” She made her second appearance on the show in January of 2019 performing “I Hate This.” The song hit No. 1 on both the U.S. and Canadian iTunes Country Charts and No. 9 U.S. iTunes all-genre following the episode. Her unprecedented third appearance on “The Bachelor” preceded the release of her new album “Love, Heartbreak, & Everything In Between” in January of this year. Tenille made her Grand Ole Opry debut on September 21, 2019 and performed at the Grand Ole Opry at the historic Ryman Auditorium on January 3, 2020. National television appearances include the TODAY Show, the Radio Disney Music Awards and singing the Canadian National Anthem at game 3 of the 2019 NBA finals and at the 2020 NBA All-Star Game in February.

By Greg Nikkel The first phase of new accessible playground equipment was installed at St. Michael School on Monday and Tuesday, with volunteers from the Young Fellows Club and Knights of Columbus on hand to help. Project lead Deanna Schwindt said this is the first of three phases, with each phase to be done as the funds are raised. A total of $73,000 was raised for the first phase, which includes equipment and concrete, which was poured late Tuesday. Phase 2 will be some extra free-standing pieces of equipment, and phase
3 will be an installation of paved rubber underneath all of the equipment. “My goal for Phase 2 is the end of 2022, and for Phase 3, the end of 2023,” said Schwindt. “I’d like to have it done sooner if possible.” They have applied for grants to hopefully speed up the process and get all of the phases done as soon as possible. Other than the grant applications, “we haven’t really begun fundraising for this school year because of COVID. This year, we haven’t been able to do some of the projects that we had in-
tended to do,” said Schwindt, adding that the Lions Club is trying to raise funds for the project as well. Members of the Young Fellows were on the site all day Monday and Tuesday, and volunteers from the Knights of Columbus were also there Tuesday. “Young Fellows are helping us put it together, and are providing lunch for the next two days if we need it,” said Schwindt. Contributors to the playground project included the St. Michael School Community Council, Holy Family School Division, Knights
of Columbus, the St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Women’s League, along with service organizations like the Weyburn Rotary Club, Young Fellows Club and the Lions Club, the Kinsmen Foundation’s TeleMiracle, along with Vincent and Olga Van Staveren, plus Schwindt’s mom provided pizza for lunch for the work crew from Pumpjack’s. Businesses that contributed included Weyburn Credit Union, Western Financial, Walmart, Goliath Disposal, Dart Services, Whitecap Resources and A&B Concrete.

The top edge of the sun was just visible as it went down on Sept. 23, in a telephoto shot looking west of Weyburn along Highway 13. Haze from fires in the U.S. had caused some of the colouration of the sunset, with warm orange and red tones beyond what is normally seen.

Welcome to the 2020 ‘virtual’ election campaign Greg Nikkel editor@weyburnreview.com
T
he “official” election campaign began on Tuesday, but in truth the two main parties in Saskatchewan have been campaigning and commenting on each other’s policies. There are other parties in this election, such as the Buffalo Party, but the main ones people will be hearing from are the Sask Party and the NDP, and neither one has wasted any time getting out on the campaign trail and doing photo ops for the cameras. This campaign will be more virtual and in the media than in past years, thanks to COVID, but this just means voters need to pay more attention to what their candidates and the leaders are saying on the issues, especially the issues that matter to them. For many people, with school just underway for a month now, education is a big concern, and as we are in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, health care is another big issue that we want to hear positions on. Teachers and students are trying to make the best of a bad situation as they go through classes, whether online or in person at school. There is a higher number of online students for Southeast Cornerstone (and for other school divisions also), so clearly some parents are just not feeling comfortable yet about having their kids in school. Perhaps as school goes on and the situation becomes
settled somewhat, this may change over time — but then, nobody really knows how the pandemic is going to play out, and other factors may come up. We need to hear more from each of the parties how they’re going to handle COVID-19, as this is a pressing issue that is impacting the lives of every person, no matter what age or income level or vocation. Other education issues include class sizes and the staffing of schools, not to mention funding for the school divisions, as issues that impact on the quality of education at the school level. Other health care issues are also in need of attention, such as the coming flu season, the shortage of doctors in Weyburn, and the quality of long-term care for our seniors. The city has finally had word of the new hospital to be built here, but the question then arises how it will be staffed if there is a drastic need for more physicians. Municipalities have an interest in this election with the state of funding for infrastructure and revenuesharing as two big issues for them. The major economic sectors of agriculture and the oil industry have issues that are particular to their needs. Unfortunately both sectors are largely ignored by the federal government, but the provincial government can address some of the issues that are under their purview, and the parties and the candidates running in the election need to put forward their views on how to address them.
Dressing for the job By Linda Wegner As I began the tedious task of packing away one season’s clothes and taking out garb for the next, I was reminded of how limited the use of my wardrobe these past months. Since we weren’t able to attend church in person, my dresses and dressier clothes remained hanging in the closet; daily walking outfits consisted of comfortable T-shirts and cotton pants. In fact, I usually continued wearing them after for the rest of the day. As one who truly enjoys dressing up, it’s been both boring and anti-inspirational to grab the same duds day after day. I will say, however, that it’s certainly cut down on the laundry. Whether it should or not, how we dress and what we wear does speak to how we view ourselves; if we don’t care about our personal appearance, perhaps we don’t really care about our true selves. Just my observation.
Reading St. Paul’s exhortation to Titus, a young man he refers to as his “true son in our common faith”, Paul gives instructions and descriptions of how various people and age groups are to act and to relate to each other. What really caught my attention was the statement found in 2:10: “…that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.” What were they to put on? “…speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men.” (3:2) In looking into the word “adorn”, I read this in Proverbs 3:22: “And they [wisdom and discretion] will be life to your soul (your inner self) and a gracious adornment to your neck (your outer self).” I trust that never again will I simply pull something from the closet without asking God to assist me in adorning my life with things that bless Him and others.

CP Holiday Train will not run this year, to hold virtual concert Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadian Pacific will donate to food banks in communities along its network and host a virtual concert in lieu of its regular Holiday Train program in December. Weyburn has been an annual stop for the U.S. train for many years, including a live concert from the stage car and a collection of food for the Salvation Army’s food bank. The performers for the Holiday Train stop in Weyburn last December included Meghan Patrick, Tanika Charles and Kelly Prescott,
and the CP Rail employees presented a donation of $5,500 to the Salvation Army during the program. The modified program will draw attention to food security issues, while ensuring donations go to all food banks that would ordinarily receive them, including those that typically host a Holiday Train event in alternating years. “COVID-19 has created many challenges for communities across our network and has only increased the need at local food banks and food shelves,” said CP President and Chief Execu-
tive Officer Keith Creel. “It is our honor to continue to donate to communities across our network this year, even if the train itself will not run. The spirit of the Holiday Train program and the Christmas spirit will carry on this year through our virtual concert. We will have the Holiday Train rolling again spreading Christmas cheer as soon as it’s safe to do so.” CP launched the Holiday Train in 1999, and every year since it has traveled across Canada and the northern U.S. raising money, collecting

PGA golfer Graham DeLaet turned in one of the best rounds of all golfers on Friday, but ended up still missing the cut by one stroke over the weekend. He was in the Dominican Republic, taking part in the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship on Sept. 24-25. On the Par 72 course, he turned in a first-round score of 78 on Thursday, and the next day he improved that score by 14 strokes, shooting a round of 64 or -8, for a combined score of 142. The cut had been set at 141 or -3, and a total of
74 professionals were cut from play. Earlier in September, he played in the Safeway Open, where he shot rounds of 74 and 75, finishing at -2. The cut was set at -5, and 73 professionals were cut. DeLaet was out with back problems, and returned to play on a major medical exemption. He has had two microdiscectomies and a stem cell procedure, along with a long period of rest and rehabilitation. He will have 24 tournaments to earn 266 FedEx Cup points in order to retain his status with the PGA.

NDP launches campaign putting ‘people first’
By Brian Zinchuk, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Saskatchewan New Democratic Leader Ryan Meili was out in front of the cameras at the Legislature in Regina before Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe formally announced the election was underway on Sept. 29. The NDP platform is under the banner “People First.” Meili reinforced a theme he’s been hammering for many weeks now, namely that another mandate under a Saskatchewan Party government will lead to “austerity,” and that the New Democrats will not be making similar cuts to government spending. The implication is spending on people is the priority over reining in deficits. Their opening press released noted, “Meili launched the provincial election campaign today with a promise to invest in people and stand against Sask. Party cuts to health care and education.” “In the last six months, Saskatchewan families have been through a lot, fighting the COVID crisis together,” said Meili. “But even before the pandemic hit, life here was getting harder. People are stretched and stressed and finding it more difficult to make ends meet. Scott Moe and the Sask. Party are satisfied with the way things are – and willing to make things worse with deep cuts and austerity. That’s just wrong. It’s time to put people first.” On the opening day, Meili outlined a five-point plan which “would act immediately to stop the Sask Party’s cuts and invest in the things that matter to families.” To that end, the NDP
promised “health care that’s there when you need it without American-style user fees.” Also on the health care front, the NDP will focus on long-term care and expanding home care to help seniors stay at home. They also pledged “safer schools and smaller class sizes to ensure the best chance in life for our kids.” On the labour side, the NDP reiterated another frequent talking point, a “Sask-First plan to use our companies and workers to build our infrastructure projects and a raise to $15 an hour for minimum-wage workers.” Political finance reform, promising to get rid of corporate and union donations to political parties, was the final point. Highlighting what is appears to be a consistent theme in the NDP campaign, the release noted, “The Saskatchewan Party under Scott Moe has promised, if re-elected, to run austerity budgets for the next four years, which we all know means deep cuts to health care and education.” The current emphasis against “austerity” is in stark contrast to the NDP policies of the 1990s, which dramatically cut program spending, including closing 52 hospitals across the province. Those cuts were made as the province’s finances were in a shambles from high deficit spending during the Grant Divine-led Progressive Conservative administration of the 1980s. It was also part of a trend across the country where governments of all stripes, federal and provincial, strove to eliminate deficit spending. Asked on Sept. 23 week where the money would
be coming from, Meili explained that interest rates are a lot lower now, so borrowing is easier. “Where we’ve seen cuts, it hurts people and it slows down the economy. We know

Members of the Weyburn Young Fellows, along with Knights of Columbus, combined their efforts on Monday and Tuesday to install new accessible playground equipment at St. Michael School. Concrete was poured into these holes late Tuesday, and students should be able to play on the structures by next Monday. This is the first of three phases of the accessible playground project, and a total of $73,000 was raised by the community, School Community Council and volunteers to make this playground a reality.

Former student driver takes over truck driving school
By Greg Nikkel The Third Day Training Centre, a school to train semi truck drivers to get their Class 1 licenses, is now under new ownership. Jordan Hopfe, who is a former student of the school, has bought the school from longtime operator Eugen Prokott, who will stay on as an instructor at the school. Hopfe drove a long-haul truck for five years after earning his Class 1 licence, and decided he would like to pass on his knowledge and experience as a driver to up and coming semi drivers. In the aftermath of
the Humboldt bus crash, which took the lives of several members of the Humboldt Broncos SJHL team, standards for truck drivers were strengthened in Saskatchewan to ensure all drivers meet the proper level of standards. The requirement now is for a driver to have 121.5 hours of training, of which 47 hours is in a class setting, with the rest in the truck doing practical driving on the road. Hopfe noted the road test by SGI can be tough, as a driver needs to be able to perform any manouevre requested of them. For example, there are
three methods for backing up a semi, and the SGI tester can ask the student to do any one of them during the road test. This is challenging enough that there is 12 to 18 hours devoted to these three methods, to ensure the driver knows how to do any of them well. Prokott said he will continue as an instructor, and said of Jordan, “He’s my protégé, and I want give any assistance he may need.” Of the new requirements for drivers, he said, “This industry needs these
guidelines. What has not changed is even with more hours, I can’t make a truck driver. I can only teach you the basics of being a safe driver to handle the equipment safely.” He estimates he’s had about 600 students come through his academy in the time he’s run it, “and now I hand it over to Jordan. I am thankful to the community for the support.” In the view of both men, learning how to drive a long-haul semi is an investment, and in these times of the COVID-19 pandemic
impacting the economy, it’s smart for a person to diversify their skills so they have something they can fall back on, depending on how the economy goes. Prokott noted he had a 71-year-old man come to take classes in truck driving, and on the opposite end of the scale, a 19-yearold girl did also. “She learned really well, and got a job in the oilfield. That’s nice to see, that she’s succeeding,” said Prokott. A change that’s coming that farmers need to be
aware of is that SGI will be doing away with the “F” endorsement or farm plate, and as of March 1, 2021, they will need to have the full 121.5 hours of training like all other Class 1 drivers. “If a farmer has done 40 hours for that endorsement, then they need to have rest of the hours to get their licence,” said Hopfe. He also noted if anyone lives outside of the Weyburn area but wants to take the training for a Class 1 licence, they have lodgings available for the time it takes to do the training.
Weyburn Chamber supports Sask. Chamber election points In preparation for the upcoming Saskatchewan provincial election, the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce supports the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce (SCC)’s election policy pillars. The pillars align with following goals: to inform Chamber members of key issues of business for this election, to put business priorities in front of political parties, and to raise the profile of these issues in the public. “Members of the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce are looking for support with respect to finding ways to recover from the current pandemic and we believe that the SCC has put together a solid plan around communicating that through these pillars,” commented Twila Walkeden, executive director of the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce. The SCC’s Policy Pillars for the 2020 provincial election are centered around the theme of enabling business recovery and resiliency as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing economic slowdown.
In addition to viewing policy through the lens of business recovery and resiliency, the policy recommendations are also informed by key themes outlined in the SCC’s current Strategic Plan, along with specific actions identified in the Province’s Saskatchewan Growth Plan 2030. The policy recommendations are grouped under the following pillars: - Economic Recovery - Financial Literacy - Energy Efficiency and the Low Carbon Economy - Labour Markets - Trade Diversification and Supply Chain Resiliency - Government Procurement - Indigenous Engagement To learn more about the policy pillars and recommendations to government, please visit the SCC’s Provincial Election Policy Pillars webpage. Over the following weeks leading up the election, the SCC will release their detailed election strategy as well as a series of videos featuring local business leaders highlighting the importance of these pillars and the corresponding recommendations to government.

WEYBURN THIS WEEK - PAGE 11
Sask Party asks for voters trust through the pandemic By Brian Zinchuk, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Saskatchewan Party Leader Scott Moe kicked off the 2020 general election saying his party would be running on its 13-year record of growth, and the key ballot box question would be who the voters trust to guide Saskatchewan through an economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Oct. 26 election will be the first for Moe as leader of the Saskatchewan Party, a position he won in January 2018, taking over from former Premier Brad Wall. Moe said outside the Saskatchewan Party’s Regina campaign headquarters they would be putting forward “a plan for a strong economic recovery. It’s a plan to make life more affordable for families, and it’s a plan for growth. And it’s a plan for strong financial fiscal management, and a balanced budget by the year 2024.” He said the ballot box question will be, “Who do you trust to lead Saskatchewan’s economic recovery?” Continuing, Moe said, “I know this for sure. It isn’t the NDP.” “The last time the NDP were in office they drove people and jobs and opportunities out of this province. They had the worst job creation record in Canada. They believed that Saskatchewan could and would never grow. It could only decline. That’s why they closed 52 hospitals. That’s why they closed 176 schools. And that’s why they closed 1,200 long term care beds in the province. They didn’t believe in Saskatchewan, or its people. But in 2007, Saskatchewan changed course. Voters elected a government that did believe in our province. They believed in Saskatchewan people, and they believed in Saskatchewan people’s potential. Since then, Saskatchewan has had the second-best job creation rate in the country, our province grew by over 170,000 people. “We’re building new hospitals, we are building new schools, and we are building new long term care facilities for our seniors and for our family members.” He pointed out the press conference took place near a school in Regina’s Harbour Landing, of which neither the school nor the development had existed before the Saskatchewan Party came to power. To that end, Moe spoke of running on the Saskatchewan Party’s record in government, highlighting its successes in growth over the last 13 years in power, versus what he called the NDP’s “dismal record of decline.” “Today, this is a vibrant thriving neighborhood full of young families, full of new businesses, a brand new school that just opened in 2017 and already we’re building another school in Harbour Landing, all because of growth.” Regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, Moe said, “Today we face a challenging economy as we emerge from this global pandemic, but already Saskatchewan is coming back strong. More people in our province continued to work throughout this pandemic, more than any other province
in Canada. And now we have reopened almost all of our economy and thousands more jobs have returned. “Saskatchewan people have shown that we can control the spread of this virus, and we can bring back jobs at the very same time,” Moe said. He criticized the NDP’s stance on reopening the economy, saying, “The NDP didn’t share that same confidence in Saskatchewan or its people. They wanted to slow down or even stop our reopening plan. They didn’t believe that we can reopen and bring back jobs. Well, they were wrong. We can do both. We can do both safely, and we have.” Moe said the NDP had “no plan of recovery whatsoever.” In what is shaping up to be a battle of accusations of future budgetary cuts, Moe raised the history of NDP cuts to government programing in the 1990s, brought on by high deficits from the Progressive Conservative administration of the 1980s. He conversely brought up what the current NDP is now accusing the Saskatchewan Party of – a plan for austerity and cuts to programs. Moe said Meili “wants to spend recklessly. He wants to spend with no plan of balance, no plan to grow the economy here in the province, which ultimately means that there will be cuts at some time in the future when this type of reckless spending is allowed to occur.” When asked why he was talking so much about what happened prior to 2007, and if he was running against former NDP Leader Lorne Calvert or current Leader Ryan Meili, Moe replied, “We’re running with the people of this province on what we believe this province can be. We are the party that has a plan for growth. We have put forward our growth plan. It’s our second growth plan that this party has put forward, to the year 2030, the targets in that growth plan of growing our population, growing our careers and growing our opportunity for our children and that next generation, that holds true.” In order to achieve those targets, Moe noted, “We need to recover from this global pandemic.” He said, “You look at what Saskatchewan has to offer, the food, the fuel the fertilizer, and our opportunity is great.” With regards to “battleground ridings,” Moe emphasized his party’s team would be running in 61 ridings. Despite its plans to eliminate a $2.1 billion annual deficit, Moe said there will still be room for new ideas. “You will see a plan that will increase the affordability for families, ensuring that we can not only have strong families but strong communities across this province,” he said, but would not release that plan on that day. The plan would be “very realistic, full of targets, but with the opportunity to grow.” Asked about a “steady as she goes” strategy, Moe replied that steady as she goes has meant continued growth, investment into communities and industries, growing the population by 170,000, and providing “opportunity for our children to have a career right here at home.”

and projects like a whimsical horse, musical frogs, comfort birds and a carved hand as examples. The annual, nation-wide celebration of arts and culture offers people of all ages and walks of life the opportunity to try out arts and culture activities for free. Experiences are normally hands-on and interactive, and designed to entice more people to get involved in local arts and culture. This year, a new virtual option has been added to ensure the health and safety of organizers, volunteers and the public. “COVID-19 created many challenges for the cultural community this year but it also opened the door to some creative opportunities,” said Dean Kush, CEO, SaskCulture. “Lots of discussion and brainstorming among national and provincial Culture Days partners resulted in a new way to highlight the cultural experiences found here in the prov-
