Pharmacies now taking flu clinic appointments

By Sabrina Kraft Pharmacists at the Prairie Sky Co-op and Pharmasave stores are getting ready for the upcoming influenza shot clinics, which will start on Monday, Oct. 19. Flu shots are available to any resident aged five and older, with a valid Saskatchewan Health card, and are offered free of charge. Due to recommendations made by the Pharmacy Association, considering the restrictions already in place due to COVID-19, there will be extra precautions taken during this year’s clinics. Ian Fleck, pharmacy manager at Prairie Sky Coop, said their site is already taking appointments for the clinics. Since one of their guidelines is to only have one pharmacist assigned to providing shots per day, residents must call 306848-3682 to schedule an

appointment. Flu shots at the Co-op will be scheduled weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and no appointments will be made during the 12 to 1 p.m. lunch hour. Laura Resler, pharmacy manager at Pharmasave, noted that their site has been taking appointment bookings using an online/ mobile program that is available on their Facebook page. They will also accept appointments when residents call 306-848-3850. Pharmasave is going to be converting their store to meet guidelines for traffic flow and create clinic stations, so they ask for patience from their customers. In addition to any appointments booked, their site will accept walk-in clients, with the understanding that the walk-in will have to fit in to the schedule for the day. Flu shots at Pharmasave

will be scheduled Mondays to Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sundays from 9:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. At both Prairie Sky Coop and Pharmasave pharmacies, residents must wear a mask to their appointment. Residents are asked to supply their own mask when possible, but both stores will have masks available when needed. The biggest protocol that residents should note for both sites is that they must be symptom-free before attending the influenza shot clinics. Sanitization of the injection rooms will be especially important. The pharmacists will be ensuring their hands are sanitized before and after each shot. Also, there will be extra cleaning of the stations, and the chairs in the waiting room. Residents can assist in

respecting social distancing by not showing up for their appointment early, or waiting in their car in the parking lot until their appointment time. Social distancing will be observed at the sign-in station, injection rooms, and the monitoring area as clients are asked to wait 15 minutes after their shot. It is expected that there might be an influx of residents wanting Influenza Shots this year, and both pharmacies are planning so that they can assist with local clients. The regulations in place due to COVID-19 are definitely new, and there will be some learning opportunities for pharmacists this year. Influenza shots will continue to be offered until March, so if a resident has made an appointment and does not feel well that day, they should reschedule.

With a return to more indoor spaces, it’s necessary to examine your extended household and potentially reduce your number of regular contacts. “As the risk of local transmission increases, now is the time to reset your household and reduce the risk to those who matter most to you,” Saskatchewan Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said. “We are all now part of other cohorts: in the workplace, at school, at extracurricular activities. Observing the necessary public health guidance in each of these settings and keeping our close contact list short is a vital step in reducing the risk of COVID-19 transmission.” • Your extended household is the people you can hug and touch, or those who can become part of your daily and weekly routines. This be should be 15 people or less. Ideally it is only members of your direct household. • Assess your extended household. Does it include

children in school settings, school staff, essential employees, or vulnerable populations like seniors or those with underlying health conditions? Consider that all of your contacts are now their contacts, too. • In the event that you are required to provide your activities and contacts as part of a public health contact investigation, can you name all those individuals you have come into close contact with over the last two weeks? If you cannot, adjust your routines and close contacts. • Stay home from all activities and workplaces even if you are experiencing mild symptoms. There are 16 new cases of COVID-19 to report in Saskatchewan on Oct. 6, bringing the total to 1,984 reported cases. Of the 1,984 reported cases, 139 are considered active. A total of 1,821 people have recovered, including 20 more as of Oct. 6. To date, 203,733 COVID-19 tests have been performed in Saskatchewan.

Local couple to appear on Family Feud Canada Heidi and Ryan Fowler are part of a family team that took part in a taping of Family Feud Canada in February, and the episode is now slated to be shown on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 2 p.m. on CBC-TV and CBC Gem. The Fowlers joined other members of Heidi’s family in Toronto on Feb. 9 and 10, at the CBC Broadcasting Centre to tape the episode. The family created an audition video and submitted it, and were later informed they were selected to take part in the nationally-broadcast game show. The family includes

Heidi’s mom, Loreen Husband, her brother Benji and sister Maria. Heidi said the auditions were really fun, starting with a dance-off to see which teams would play first. “Each family that was there had a chance to play a round of the Family Feud game against another family. The producers of the show were really interested in our introductions and finding out about each family,” said Heidi. The CBC game show is hosted by actor and standup comedian Gerry Dee, based on the international format of the long-running game show.

Thank those who rush in to fiery situations Greg Nikkel editor@weyburnreview.com

ire Prevention Week has been in place all this week, giving everyone a reminder about how to stay safe in their homes, on their farms or at their businesses. What has not been said amidst this special week, and really ought to be, is that our fire departments are comprised of special individuals who should be recognized for the work they quietly do on our behalf. Like other emergency responders, fire fighters put themselves in harm’s way for the protection of the general public, along with helping to promote fire safety with annual events such as Fire Prevention Week. The event is somewhat dampened this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as the Fire Department can’t go into schools to share their messages with students, as they should be allowed to do, nor can they host tours of the fire hall. But when a call comes in requiring their response, they are there and they do their jobs regardless of any perceived threat of COVID, because the safety of the public supercedes anything else. An example of their selflessness was evident in a call that came in on Friday afternoon from the Weyburn Special Care Home, where there had been a fire in a plastic wastebasket.

The fire had been quickly extinguished, but the fire fighters still needed to respond to the scene, which they did, and made sure everyone was safe. As this is a care home with seniors as residents, the call is considered a “high life hazard” situation, so three fire trucks were dispatched to the facility — they weren’t taking any risks with anyone’s safety. This is the very basis of their service to the community, as whether they are a paid fire fighter or a socalled “volunteer” fire fighter, they roll out to any fire call where an emergency response is needed. There are bound to be situations where there is a risk to themselves, such as a large structure fire or a spill of hazardous materials as just two examples, but they are willing to put themselves there to keep the general public safe. In a sense, the coronavirus is just one more risk added to a long list of potential safety risks, but the public needs to know that these fire fighters are highly trained in their jobs. They practice every week, and go through a wide range of scenarios so they know just how they should be responding in a given emergency situation when they arise. When you see a fire fighter, even if it is a relatively “minor” situation that doesn’t involve a lot of flames and danger, you should thank them for the job they do, because when a real hazard comes up, they are there for you, for your safety.

Don’t bite back By Linda Wegner After a few fog-and smoke-free days, it’s disappointing to see smoke from California wildfires returning this week. On a totally unrelated matter, this morning I met a former “bus riding buddy” who lamented that he is unable to visit relatives since the First Nations Reserve shut down entrance to all non-residents. I heartily applaud the Reserve administration for dealing with an outbreak of COVID and I sympathize with those folks in the Western USA re the horrendous fires in their states. While those things are out of human control; how we react to life’s injustices is not. I received this on Facebook this morning and I believe it’s worth passing on. “A man saw a snake being burned to death and decided to take it out of the fire. When he did, the snake bit him causing excruciating pain. The man dropped the snake, and the reptile fell right back into the fire.

“So, the man looked around and found a metal pole and used it to take the snake out of the fire, saving its life. “Someone who was watching approached the man and said: ‘That snake bit you. Why are you still trying to save it?’ “The man replied: ‘The nature of the snake is to bite, but that’s not going to change my nature, which is to help.’ “Do not change your nature simply because someone harms you. Do not lose your good heart, but learn to take precautions.” (Diane Johnson) It’s no secret that most of us struggle these days with the isolation brought about by global health issues. We can’t control that, but by God’s grace we can continue to enjoy God’s peace while sharing His love with others. “Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love.” Ephesians 4:2

Envision Counselling offers ‘Diversion program’

This school year has been particularly challenging for families with young children. Some parents might be struggling just to keep up with everyday life, and could use some help. E nv i s i o n C o u n s e l ling and Support Centre is available to provide free, voluntary parenting support for families who would like extra assistance. The Diversion Program works with families as a short-term support that encourages the healthy development of families and children so they may achieve their full potential. “When families are given support, education and resources they are able to recognize and build on their strengths,” said Lynda

Rideout, Assistant Executive Director of Envision Counselling and Support Centre. “Diversion emphasizes maintaining the family unit by offering skills that strengthen the entire family and builds communication between family members.” Many different skills can be worked on through the Diversion Program such as effective parenting strategies, helpful problem solving and coping skills and establishing or maintaining positive family relationships. “Goals are a huge part of the Diversion program,” said Rideout. “Our Family Support Program Coordinator and the client discuss the challenges the family is facing, and come up with

Weyburn Dairy Queen holds fundraising for children’s hospital Residents in Weyburn are invited to support sick kids from Monday, October 5 until Sunday, October 11, by ordering from their local participating Dairy Queen stores. Promotions will raise much-needed funds for the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon to support the children and families in need. As part of the fundraising initiative, $2 or more will be donated from every Blizzard sold. Funds will be raised through in-store, pick-up and drive-through orders. On average, 35,000 children enter a Children’s Miracle Network hospital each week. That’s 5,000 per day or 62 per minute. To support the children and their families receiving treatment at the Children’s Hospital, Dairy Queen employees, franchisees, volunteers and stakeholders

goals together to increase parenting skills, and ultimately overcome those challenges. These goals allow the family to work toward something and creates a tangible outcome at the end of the family’s time in the program.” Each family within the Diversion Program is linked up with a Family Support Worker they meet with regularly in accordance with the family’s schedule. The role of the Family Support Worker is to help the family build on their strengths, teach parenting skills, and reduce stress in the family home.

If a family would like to build skills and self-confidence, they can call the Envision Office nearest them and ask about the Diversion Program. The offices are located in Weyburn, Estevan, Carlyle and Oxbow. E nv i s i o n C o u n s e l ling and Support Centre is in their 25th year of providing innovative programming and diverse counselling and support services to individuals, couples and families.

Readers can count on the news in the Review, This Week

By Sabrina Kraft One of the strengths of a local newspaper is that there is more accountability when it comes to the stories and opinion pieces published every week. This is especially true for the Weyburn Review and Weyburn This Week. National Newspaper Week is being observed October 4 to 10, and this year there is a recognition of the service of newspapers and their employees. There is a strong community connection that exists between a local newspaper and the reader base. Both the Weyburn Review and Weyburn This Week are fortunate to have many loyal readers who look forward to receiving their newspaper every week. Kathyrn Groshong started her readership connected back in the 1960s, especially since she was writing submissions and viewpoints for the Weyburn Review. “I just loved to write, especially as a teenager, and then when I was a teacher.” She was involved in the early days of the Farmer’s Union, so was in contact with many different people from Weyburn. The club involvement included carrying on several projects in the Soo Line District and attending different conventions. The newspaper helped that organization stay connected to the local community with updates on their different projects and presentations. As a member of the Homemakers Club, Groshong also felt that the newspaper helped many of their rural members stay connected to communities in the area. “There can be a feeling of isolation when you were living on a farm, especially with the dis-

tance to the closest large community. By reading the newspaper we would get the latest information on what was happening around us.” Groshong is a historical buff and enjoys how one can learn about how many local organizations got their start in the community, by going back into the archives. She always enjoyed seeing the correspondent news, and the success stories from the smaller villages and communities in the area. “Everybody has a story,

While the Weyburn Review and Weyburn This Week also publish their news stories online, and share these stories on Facebook, Anderson prefers having the physical copy of her newspaper. “There is just something comforting about sitting in the chair and reading the newspaper.” In her opinion, the Weyburn Review really excels at covering community

– Pat Anderson and maybe someone wants to hear it,” said Groshong. “There are many different subjects and viewpoints that is put in the Review, which makes it really interesting.” “Through the years, the publications were a constant for many households,” added Groshong. “I have received a lot of help from the newspaper, and it is nice to get a wider view of different stories from around the country, and the world.” Another long-time reader and supporter of the newspaper is Pat Anderson. “I always read cover to cover. I like being a Review subscriber because I want to know what is going on in the community.” “I really like the photos. I was always hopeful to see my children… and then my grandchildren… in the newspaper. They

events. “There is lots for the sports community. I love to see all the pictures and reading the opinions on the Editorial page.” “I really appreciate the local newspaper because it keeps me linked to the community. I know that I am reading authentic and truthful news,” said Anderson. The advantage of living in a tight-knit community like Weyburn means that there is a better connection to the reporting and office staff. It continues to stay important for local newspapers to stay connected to their community and share the stories that matter to their readers. National Newspapers Week is an excellent opportunity to celebrate the connection that the Weyburn Review and Weyburn This Week have with their readers.

Skills development is key for Red Wings

Working on puck-handling skills

Players from the Richardson Pioneer Red Wings practiced their puck-handling skills during a training session on Sept. 29 at the Tom Zandee Sports Arena. Skills development sessions, training videos and team bonding are all ways the Red Wings are spending their time right now, as they await word from the SJHL and Sask Health when their season might begin.

Minor Hockey prepares for season, COVID concerns The Weyburn Minor Hockey Association has sent out a questionnaire for parents of minor hockey players to fill out prior to attending any practices or games at Crescent Point Place or the Tom Zandee Sports Arena.

Are you feeling...

The Sports Arena has hosted practices for the Gold Wings and Red Wings through September and the first part of October, and Crescent Point Place will be ready to go with their ice starting Tuesday, Oct. 13.

Minor Hockey is asking people to do a health screening questionnaire prior to entering the rink, and they are to indicate if they are a parent, volunteer or hockey official, and which player they are there to watch. At this time, only one spectator per player will be allowed in. At the door to the rinks, the City of Weyburn has posted health screening questions related to COVID-19. They ask that anyone who has symptoms or needs to self-isolate not at-

tend the rink. A person is not to enter if they have a cough, fever, sore throat, runny nose or shortness of breath; if they have been advised by a medical health officer to self-isolate; or have engaged in any activity that requires a person to selfisolate (such as travel), according to orders issued by Saskatchewan Public Health. There has not been any word as yet about if or when hockey games may be permitted by Public Health officials.

By Sabrina Kraft Coaches and trainers for the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings are dedicating their time with players to skill development and team bonding right now, while they wait for a decision from the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League on a start date for the 2020-21 hockey season. “We are hopeful for Nov. 1, with an exhibition game on Nov. 15,” said Rich Pilon, head coach for the Red Wings. “Until we get a date, it is all speculation.” Even though the SJHL season might start later than normal, there is still a lot for the team to work on, especially by concentrating on skill development sessions. “It gives us more time for the coaches to get to know the players, and for them to get to know us,” said Pilon. The one challenge is that without any actual games being played, it is difficult for the coaches to know where to place players. “We have a lot of young players again this season. It is a good problem to have; we have a lot of bodies and a lot of guys who can play. There is a lot of 02s (born in 2002) who are pushing out those who are 01s (born in 2001). But until we play, it is a lot of crossing our fingers and hoping that these guys are who they are supposed to be,” said Pilon. “At the end of the day, we wanted to put back into the team some guys with size, guys who can score at different levels, and everything looks pretty good.” There are a few key returning forwards, includ-

ing Dante Ballarin, Dace Prymak and Braden Birnie, who are all looking stronger. Jevon Schwean is back on the defense as a leader, and signed players Nolan Cunnigham and Liam Antoniuk are sure to keep the team strong heading in the new season. “We have a solid top four group, which we struggled with last year. This year we have that,” said Pilon. It was these considerations that were part of the decision to trade Nick Dobson to Waywatseecappo, just because the coaching staff thought there would not be enough ice for Dobson to compete and play. “The returning players have gotten to know me as a coach,” said Pilon. “They are used to the intensity I have once we get to the ice. It still has to be fun, and I joke with them all the time, but when it comes to hockey… they know I am all business.” “There is a bit of an academy feeling right now that we have been having. We have not been focusing on systems at all. It has been all skills development, and more on puck protection drills.” There is a lot of strength in the coaching staff too, as they also have a year under the belt on the bench. “You have to go through a learning curve in your first year, which I did, to understand the league itself and what is in the league. It is a lot easier this year to deal with expectations… but then we have to deal with this pandemic. It was another curve ball for us,” admitted Pilon.

DO YOU LIKE HELPING OUT IN THE KITCHEN and cooking up tasty snacks for your friends and family? Preparing yummy treats can be lots of fun, but it's important that kids who like to cook know how to be safe in the kitchen. These tips can help you figure out what you're old enough to do on your own—and when it's time to ask an adult for help.

Getting Started:

Before you get cooking, you need to get a grown-up’s permission. If you plan to use a recipe, look it over with a grown-up first to decide what you can do on your own and what you need help with. And once you get started, never be afraid to ask for help. Even the best chefs rely on their assistants to help them out in the kitchen.

Helping Out is Fun: From mixing up cake batter to cutting shapes out of cookie

dough, helping out a grownup in the kitchen can be lots of fun. So if you're not old enough yet to cook on your own, not to worry; being the chef's helper is the most important job in the kitchen.

Cooking for All Ages:

OCTOBER 4-10, 2020

All kids are different—and a grown-up should always decide what is safe for you to do in the kitchen—but here are some guidelines that you can use.

Photo 1077 — Greg Nikkel

Steven Hansen held his toddler son Ethan, as his wife Meghan watched, while they played at one of the stations set up for the Regional KidsFirst mobile playground on Wednesday. The play stations were set up behind the Weyburn Public Library, with a number of different activities to help their toddler with growth and development. The playground was held at a number of locations around the southeast region over the summer, including Yellow Grass, Fillmore and Radville.

By Debra Kessler, 306-442-4201 Pangman — Pangman School has two new staff members. Jade Fornwald is the educational assistant for the Grades 4-6 classroom, and Ms. Leonard will be interning in the Kindergarten to Grade 3 classroom until Christmas. There are six new Kindergarten students this year. The Scholastic school book fair will be different this year as it will be held online. Details and dates will becoming soon.

Rotary district reviewing student exchange program

By Greg Nikkel The foreign student exchange program has been a staple of Rotary Club activities for many years, but as it’s disrupted this year by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Rotary District 5550 is taking the opportunity to review the program. Most every year since 1975, the Weyburn Rotary Club has hosted an exchange student, sometimes two, with Judy Edwards of Australia the first one to come stay in the community and attend the Weyburn Comprehensive School. This past year, Weyburn had had a student from Sweden, Kat Weinhold, and she had to return home early due to the worldwide lockdowns caused by the pandemic.

This year there are no exchange students going out due to COVID, while there is a Brazilian student in the district who is still here from last year. She was hoping to return home again, but is having trouble lining up a flight that can fly her back to Brazil. Longtime Rotary member Bob King took part in a series of Zoom meetings with 25 other district club representatives to look at the strengths and weaknesses of the exchange program, and to consider if there is interest in continuing the program. The meetings have included Rotex members, who are university-aged former exchange students who have an interest in seeing the program continue. King noted there are Rotex groups at both

the universities of Regina and Saskatoon. Over the years, King noted the Weyburn club has sent out 35 students on an exchange and have hosted 36 from other countries. Some of the strengths of the program include clubs having a passion for wanting to keep the program going, and developing leadership through programs like RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Assembly). A weakness is a dwindling interest in the student exchange program by students and by some clubs, and promotion of the program so students are aware of it. Among the challenges or threats, COVID-19 is a major factor, and it may discourage having student exchanges for a long time to come, as no one knows how long the pandemic is going to have the impact that it’s having right now. A challenge to the program is also the cost of the

program to local Rotary Clubs, and to students, and for some local clubs where members are getting older, they don’t have as many members willing to take an exchange student out for activities. Members in the Weyburn club have taken students out for things like skiing, canoeing, kayaking and horseback riding, and sometimes on family vacation trips, such as to the Rocky Mountains or on camping trips. One recommendation is that incoming students must be at least 16 years of age, said King, and a suggestion was also that the student should be in Grade 11. Member Gary Anderson recalled one shortterm student he and wife Lois hosted, named Rutger. They only had him a couple of weeks, but he still keeps in touch with their daughter, and recently sent photos of his two young sons. Bob noted that his

Residential & Commercial

wife Brenda still keeps in touch with many former exchange students through Facebook, and said it’s very interesting to maintain contact to see how these former students have gone on to adulthood. For many of these students, they swear by the positive impact the year in Weyburn has had on their lives, he said. One suggestion that came up to mitigate the effect of COVID is to have students come from shorter distances, such as from the U.S. In recent years, Weyburn’s students have come from Sweden, Taiwan, Brazil, France, Belgium and Germany. B renda noted that their daughter Elizabeth went on an exchange, and stayed with three or four host families, with each one offering different experiences, but one outbound student from Weyburn, Chelsea Edwards, only had one family for her entire stay in Brazil. One advantage the

Rotary program has over other exchange programs is that they ensure there is a local counsellor for the student who can reach them immediately if an issue arises with a host family, added Brenda. One challenge that sometimes comes up is finding enough host families interested in hosting an exchange student. For the Weyburn club, Doug Loden has acted as both a counsellor, and as the person who finds the host families. “It’s not a simple task, but I’ve always managed to find a place for the students,” he said, adding wryly, “We haven’t had to put a student in a tent yet.” Bob said the consensus from the clubs who took part in the meetings is that they want the exchange program to continue. The input from the various clubs will be gathered and a final report on the program will come out in a couple of weeks, he added.

Having fun with new equipment

Grade 2 students from St. Michael School gathered on the new accessible playground equipment, installed recently by volunteers from the Knights of Columbus and the Young Fellows Club. The project was paid for by donations, grants and fundraising to enable children of any mobility to come out and enjoy playing at recess time.

Local

Shop local, Support local

Prairie Sky Co-op is proud to support the communities it serves in. Shopping at your Co-op helps support local vendors, create employment, nurture sustainable growth and helps invest in local non-profit organizations and charities.

Through Equity Repayments to Non-Profit Organizations, Community Investment Policy, Communities of Colour Program, Fuel Good Day, Casual Friday Donations, Bags 2 Riches, Playschool Breakfasts and other community investment programs, your Prairie Sky Co-op is budgeted to donate over $140,000 back to its communities in 2020. None of this would be possible without the support of our members and customers such as yourself. By shopping local at Prairie Sky Co-op, you are supporting local.

Co-op Week

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2020

October 12 - 17

Co-ops and credit unions are fundamentally different from other business enterprises. We are owned by the people who do business with us. We are managed to benefit our members, not maximize profit. When we do profit, we use those profits for our members' and community's good. Now that's something to celebrate!

This year, we are asking you to join the Love Local Movement! Throughout Co-op Week, we're looking for cars and homes that are sporting the Love Local decal (either by cutting out the ad inside this week's paper, or using the custom decal included in a few lucky papers). For more information, visit our website: www.prairieskycoop.com or Weyburn Credit Union: www.weyburncu.ca

A few lucky papers will have a decal (similar to above) included, or cut out the Prairie Sky Co-op ad in this week's paper!

Thank You! Thank you for your generous support on Fuel Good Day. Because you fuelled up on September 15,

$4,620 will be donated to: Weyburn Therapeutic Animal Park, Envision Counselling & Support, and CMHA - Weyburn

Trick & Treat

There will be no annual Pumpkin Smash this year, instead we are offering a Trick & Treat game that kids can play in their community.
