Sledding fun on a warm afternoon

These sledders could not hold back the giggles after sliding down the hill on Confederation Drive near River Park on Saturday afternoon. Several families took advantage of the mild weather which saw temperatures reach 6 degrees above zero, with just enough snow to allow sledding.

All SaskPower customers to see 10% rebate on bills The Government of Saskatchewan is fulfilling a commitment made in the 2020 Speech from the Throne by providing all SaskPower customers a 10-per-cent rebate on their power bills. This rebate, known as the Saskatchewan Economic Recovery Rebate, will run from Dec. 1, 2020 to the end of November of 2021. “We have a strong mandate to help make life more affordable for Saskatchewan families and busi-

nesses,” Premier Scott Moe said. “As promised by our government, this measure will provide relief to everyone in the province to help drive Saskatchewan’s recovery in 2021.” The rebate will apply to the “electrical charges” section of customers’ bills, which includes the basic monthly charge, energy charge and demand charge. It does not apply to GST, PST, municipal surcharge, federal Carbon Tax or other charges such as connect fees

or late payment charges. Customers should note that the rebate will not be applied to power consumed before Dec. 1, 2020. Bills arriving in the first days of December will account for consumption in both November and the initial part of December, but only power billed for the period of Dec. 1 and later will have the rebate applied. Customers will see the full benefit of the rebate on bills starting in January 2021. “The Saskatchewan Eco-

nomic Recovery Rebate is a simple and effective way to help individuals, families and business through this pandemic,” Minister Responsible for SaskPower Don Morgan said. “By implementing this rebate today, our government is keeping its commitments to the people of Saskatchewan.” The one-year program is estimated to cost $262 million, which will be fully funded through the General Revenue Fund.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Canadian Pacific (CP) will donate to food banks in communities along its network and host a virtual concert in lieu of its regular Holiday Train 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 Executive 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!” Serena Ryder and The Trews will headline CP’s 2020 “Holiday Train at Home” concert, which will stream on CP’s Facebook page on Saturday, Dec. 12. The event will raise money and awareness and help local food banks collect much-needed donations. The Dec. 12 concert, scheduled for 6 p.m. MT/8 p.m. ET, will also feature performances by JoJo Mason, Logan Staats and Kelly Prescott. CP Holiday Train fans will be able to view the concert by visiting facebook. com/canadian.pacific at the show’s start time. An archived version of the show will remain on the page for later viewing. “For more than two decades, the CP family has supported Canadians and

Americans in need through the CP Holiday Train program,” said Creel. “In a year full of challenge and loss, we will host this concert as a call to action for the train’s supporters to donate generously if they can this Christmas season. The spirit of the Holiday Train will come alive even though the train itself will not operate due to the COVID-19 pandemic.” CP will donate $1.24 million this year to 201 food banks in communities that ordinarily host CP Holiday Train events. In a normal year, CP calls on attendees at local shows to make a cash or non-perishable food donation. With the “Holiday Train at Home” concert, CP hopes to inspire donations from across North America even though local shows won’t occur. Viewers seeking to donate will be directed to Food Banks Canada and Feeding America, the national organizations that support community food banks in their respective countries. Viewers are also encouraged to give to their local food bank. “I’m so excited to be part of the virtual CP Holiday Train this year, helping raise awareness and funds for local food banks in this time of extraordinary need,” headliner Serena Ryder said. “Watch the concert on Dec. 12, and if you can, please give a little bit to support those in need!” CP launched the Holiday Train in 1999, and every year since it has traveled across Canada and the northern U.S. raising money, collecting food and drawing attention to the important work of local food banks. In its first 21 years, the train has raised $17.8 million and collected 4.8 million pounds of food for local food banks in communities along CP’s network. CP intends to resume operating the annual train tour in 2021.

Large donation kicks off 2020 Kettle campaign

Norm Mondor presented a donation of $10,000 to the Salvation Army’s director Ronza Reynard on Thursday to kick off their 2020 Christmas Kettle campaign with the first donation. “We greatly appreciate Norm and Shirley’s donation of $10,000 to help our community in these trying times. All money raised during the holiday season is used year-round and stays in our community,” said kettle campaign coordinator Shannon Fodchuk. Due to COVID-19 restrictions this year, the kettle

campaign will look a little different with the Christmas Kettles out in stores. “We will not be having volunteers man our kettles, as instead we will have counter kettles,” said Fodchuk. The smaller kettles will be located at tills at Walmart, Wholesale Club, Canadian Tire, Pharmasave, Co-op food store, Peavey Mart and the Salvation Army Thrift Store. The kettles will be in all locations starting on Thursday, Dec. 3 until Wednesday, Dec. 23.

Unloading Christmas trees

Young Fellows member Andy Barber unloaded a seven-to-eight foot Christmas tree, which arrived as part of the load on Saturday afternoon for the Young Fellows Christmas tree lot. The lot officially opened on Sunday, but around 50 trees were already sold on Saturday, and the trees have been moving quickly since then. The lot, on Second Street behind the Co-op food store, will be open seven days a week until Sunday, Dec. 20 or while supplies last.

The Young Fellows Club members were out in force on Saturday afternoon as their truckload of Christmas trees arrived, and the trees were quickly unloaded onto their lot, located on Second Street behind the Prairie Sky Co-op food store. The first official day for opening is Sunday, Nov. 29 at noon (although a few trees got sold on Saturday while the Young Fellows were there), and the lot will be open until Sunday, Dec. 20. There are two varieties

this year, Fraser and balsam, and they range in size from four up to 12 feet, with the price on average about $10 a foot. Tree lot chairman Trent Rommann noted that Frasers are a premium tree, and may cost a bit more. The hours for the tree lot will be from Monday to Friday from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m. As with all of the Young Fellows projects, all proceeds will stay in Weyburn to be used for the various projects and groups supported by the Young Fellows Club. Aside from the Internet auction, this project is the biggest fundraiser for the Young Fellows of the year.

Keep yourself and others safe this Christmas time Greg Nikkel editor@weyburnreview.com

his year’s Christmas celebrations will be different in many ways, not the least of which is due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a nasty virus that has ruined lives, closed businesses, killed people and continues to wreak havoc on society in general. A possible side effect of people having to spend Christmas close to home is they may be inclined to imbibe in alcoholic beverages more than they might otherwise do. There are many people who don’t want to drink, or don’t like to, in order to have fun or enjoy the company of their family or friends. For those who do enjoy a drink or two, the hope is that they will not get behind the wheel if they have had a beer or cocktail or two. The impulse may be, if they need to run to the store for some groceries or a last minute gift, to think, “I’m fine, I only had one …” Worse, someone who is used to alcohol and doesn’t really feel the effects even after two or three drinks may feel it’s no big deal if they drive over to a friend’s place, or to their uncle’s farm out in the country, or wherever else they might travel to. Similarly, if someone has imbibed in any drugs, including marijuana, they should not be driving their vehicles anywhere, for the same reason: the safety of the travelling public on the roads, and of pedestrians

and anyone else they might encounter on our streets, grid roads or highways. The temptation is to blame everything on COVID for the bad things that are happening, but the virus will not be to blame if someone gets into an accident while impaired, and causes injuries or death. In the case of drug impairment, there is a zero-tolerance policy for law enforcement and SGI in regard to anyone who is caught behind the wheel impaired in any way. While travel might be discouraged due to COVID this year, there will be some travel out of necessity, and some people may be visiting immediate family members or those within their “bubble” to celebrate. Everyone wants to arrive at their destination safely, whether it’s to visit parents, children or just a run to the grocery store to buy food or other necessities. The last thing anyone wants is for a police officer to come to your door to inform you that a loved one was severely injured or died in an accident — and especially not one caused by someone who drove while impaired by a drug or alcohol. If you have had a drink, it’s not okay, ever, to pick up your keys to drive, even if it’s considered a short distance. An accident can happen anywhere, even a block from your house, and the lives and wellbeing of innocent pedestrians or motorists should not be in jeopardy from your decision to drive. Stay safe this holiday season, and keep others safe too.

Let’s sing By Linda Wegner A precious sister-in-law struggles with near blindness, overwhelming tiredness but most of all, with loneliness. Her husband passed away three years ago. Now alone after 63 years of marriage, she has lots of reasons to be glum but in regular telephone conversations with her, I am always so blessed and encouraged regarding her attitudes. In today’s call she told me how another one of our sisters-in-law comes to visit and read to her each evening. Later, another friend and Erna speak on the phone; actually, they sing. In the darkness of COVID-induced lockdowns, we still have reason to sing. I referred to this Chinese proverb in an earlier article but it still hangs above my desk and still speaks to me daily: “A bird does not sing because it has an answer but because it has a song.” In a seemingly unrelated example, here’s another exhortation to realize the source of our strength. I am not a TV person, but six evenings

a week I join my husband in watching Wheel of Fortune. Recently, a contestant excitedly called out, “I’m declaring victory!” Pat responded, “That is not correct.” The contestant looked stunned and thoroughly mystified. The next contestant then answered: “Declaring victory” to which Pat responded, “That’s correct”. Even more mystified, the first contestant said, “That was my answer.” Pat then explained that he had added the word, “I’m” thus invalidating his response. Sadly, he hadn’t even realized that he’d done that. How many times we unconsciously do the same thing: “I’m in charge”, “I can handle this”. Let’s remember that we are not able to declare victory on our own. HE is the One who gives us that song! “When my soul is in the dumps, I rehearse everything I know of you … God promises… songs all through the night!” Psalm 43:6-8 (MSG) Let’s sing!

Vikings guard Brett Jones (No. 61) took to the field with the Minnesota Vikings in a surprise start against the Dallas Cowboys on November 22.

Gold Wings players enjoy creating friendships

By Sabrina Kraft For both Reece Pittman and Kira Barham, being part of the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Gold Wings gives them a chance to create life-long friendships, while playing hockey right in their home community. Pittman and Barham were both recently featured in a Feature Player video created for the Weyburn Review/ Weyburn This Week, which is available on the website at www. weyburnreview.com. Pittman is a 2003-born forward who was chosen as the captain for the Gold Wings this year. This is her third year with the team. “I was really honoured by my team that I was chosen to be the captain. I am super excited about it.”

“I have been playing hockey for 14 years. One of my favorite things is meeting the girls on the team and creating friendships,” said Pittman. “I love how the Gold Wings give back to the community. I also enjoy meeting new people, who I never met before, and the road trips.” One of the challenges that she faces as a forward is “creating effective offensive plays in the offensive zone, and having successful breakouts.” In her first year with the Gold Wings (20182019 season), Pittman played 27 games, scored one goal and one assisted. In her second year (20192020 season), she played 30 games, scored one goal and had three assists. Barham is also a

2003-born forward who is in her third year with the Gold Wings. “I have been playing since Kindergarten, so about 13 years.” “I really like the intensity and the chance to meet new girls,” said Barham. “I like how the Gold Wings give back to the community.” “I feel supported by my team, because if anyone does make a mistake, we always have each other’s back and lift each other’s spirits.” As one of the local players, Barham feels it important to support the players who come to Weyburn from out of town. “When the girls first arrive in Weyburn, we try to go out to Tim’s or Starbucks to help them get used to the community.” She feels that her

greatest strength is “being able to read the play, and knowing where to be on the ice. I am also able to help my teammates if they mess up on a play, or are not sure where to be.” Barham did note that one of her challenges is “I am not as fast as the other girls and need to work on my foot speed.” She is very excited to play her last year with the Weyburn Gold Wings. “Once we are able to return to playing games, I think we will be a very strong team.” In her first year with the Gold Wings (20182019 season), Barham played 28 games, scored two goals and two assists. In her second year (20192020 season), Barham played 30 games, scored two goals and four assists.

By Sabrina Kraft NFL player Brett Jones was excited to have the opportunity to play for the Minnesota Vikings in their game against the Cowboys on Nov. 22. “It was really great to get out there and play with my teammates again. I just really took in the moment, and enjoyed it.” He started his football career in Weyburn, where he played both minor football and for the Weyburn Comp Eagles under football coach Darren Abel. Then Jones had a college career at the University of Regina, played in the CFL with the Calgary Stampeders, and spent time with the New York Giants and the Vikings in the NFL. Jones noted that it has been a weird year for the NFL, as the rules in place due to COVID-19 mean there are no fans in the stands. “It is an unprecedented year for all of us. But I didn’t lose my faith in my ability to play.” He had another chance to get on the field during the Vikings’ game against the Panthers on Nov. 29. “That was one of the craziest games that I have been a part of, especially that last minute drive for the win.” “Everyone was amped up and ready to finish strong, and it was awesome that we achieved what we wanted,” said Jones. Recently, a documentary called “Uncharted North: I am Brett Jones”, which was produced and directed by Panayioti Yannitsos with the Little

Christmas Memorial Candle From December 1st until December 23rd, we are providing you an opportunity to purchase a Christmas Candle for $10.00 each. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Weyburn Family Place. Simply provide us with a picture and we will create a lasting keepsake for you.

Park, described the career path that Jones took to get to the NFL. Ever still humble, Jones admitted that he was a little embarrassed to be the focus of the documentary. “But it was a cool opportunity to share the culture of sport in Saskatchewan, and the strong volunteer mentality that many of our coaches have. It was a cool chance for Darren Abel, my former coach, to get recognized. There are so many coaches who deserve recognition for their efforts in volunteering their time to coach young athletes. I am so grateful for all the coaches who spent time teaching me.” “I also think that the documentary can be seen by any young player to inspire them, to know it is possible to work towards an NFL career,” said Jones. It was a bit of a transition for Jones when he first started playing for the NFL, as it is quite different from the CFL. But after the past few years with the Giants and the Vikings, Jones feels more comfortable on the field. “It was a big jump for me, but I was able to adapt and adjust.” Jones noted that there are “a lot of good teams in the conference, and a lot of parity with the NFL teams right now, so we (the Vikings) are in a dog fight for the playoffs. Every game and every week is a challenge, where you want to see that win. But if your team does make the playoffs, you have a good chance to keep on winning.” Usually Jones is able to spend time with his family over the Christmas holidays, but this year with COVID-19 travel restrictions, he knows that won’t be possible. “Hopefully once the regulations are lifted, and I am done a 14-day quarantine, I will have a chance to see my family in person.” In the past, Jones has given back to the community by sponsoring the Salvation Army Christmas dinner. This event had to be postponed for the year, because of COVID-19 restrictions. At the time of this interview, Jones was still considering different opportunities to give back this year.

The national rate was 305,290 people tested per million population. A total of 2,431 COVID-19 tests were processed in Saskatchewan on Nov. 30. Support Exposure Notification with the COVID Alert App

Ensure those who have been in close proximity to you get the earliest possible exposure notifications with Health Canada’s COVID Alert application. During the week of Nov. 24-30, 82 residents entered the one-time key information into the COVID Alert App, following their positive test results. This free, voluntary app provides digital alerts to let people know if they may have been exposed to COVID-19. The more residents that participate in the COVID Alert app, the faster residents can know if they are at risk of COVID-19 exposure. COVID Alert is available for Canadians as a free download from the App Store or the Google Play Store. COVID Alert does not collect personal health information or track the location of users. More information on using the app and how your privacy is protected is available at www.saskatchewan.ca/covid19-apps. Public Health Measures For more information on the current public health measures or to see the Public Health Order, visit https:// www.saskatchewan.ca/ covid19.

Saskatchewan is seeing an alarming trend in the criminal shooting of domestic livestock throughout the province. T h e S a s k a t c h ewa n Wildlife Federation and S a s k a t c h ew a n S t o c k Growers Association have partnered to SaskTip (Turn In Poachers) to provide a cash reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to a conviction of anyone found illegally shooting livestock. “It’s not uncommon for some animals to be injured in hunting season, but these cases seem to be blatantly criminal in nature versus an accidental shooting,” said Saskatchewan Stock Growers president Kelcy Elford. “This type of behavior is condemned by the lawabiding hunting and firearm communities,” said

Clark Schultz, Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation President, adding, “these people are criminals.” SaskTip Board Chair Lorne Scott welcomes the support and cooperation of the SSGA and SWF, stating the importance of “collectively working with livestock producers and law-abiding citizens to curtail irresponsible and needless destruction and suffering of domestic animals.” If you have information that could assist in the apprehension and prosecution of any individual illegally shooting domestic livestock, Call the Turn In Poachers Line, toll-free, at 1-800-667- 7561. Tips can remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a cash reward if your information leads to a conviction.

Beautiful

Jane Horner experienced and exemplified a life of love, caring, laughter, and sharing. Jane was born on February 24, 1954. She grew up on a farm near Creelman, Saskatchewan with her 3 siblings. She attended elementary and part of her high school in Creelman and completed her high school at the Weyburn Comprehensive School in Weyburn where she excelled in music, band, oratory, French, and all required studies. Jane attended the University of Saskatchewan and in 1977 earned Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education degrees with majors in music and French. Music was Jane’s life. She taught band and music in Indian Head and later at Humboldt. While in Humboldt she was president of the local Humboldt Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation. She sang in St. Peter’s Choir and played in the St. Peter’s orchestra. When Jane retired from teaching she moved to Saskatoon where she achieved a Bachelor of Commerce degree at the University of Saskatchewan in 2002. Jane was an active volunteer with Saskatoon Habitat for Humanity and Saskatoon Open Door Society. She loved to travel and shared trips to Europe, BC, the Maritimes,Alaska, and Arizona with friends and family. Jane loved and excelled in music. She played in bands in Saskatoon and Arizona. Jane was quick witted and bright, and loved to engage in lively and deep discussions. She gave generously to family, friends, and community - both gifts of the heart and charitable donations. Jane left the physical realm with peace and dignity on November 22, 2020. She was predeceased by her parents, Doreen and Fred Horner, and her brother Rob. Her precious cat Allie who had been her companion for 18 years passed away just days before Jane. She is hugely missed by her brother Don and sister-in-law Diane and their daughters Jenny (Terrell) and Susan (Ryan), and their son Andrew; and by her sister Heather and brother-in-law Larry, and Heather’s children, daughters Melanie (Gerry) and Christal (Chris), and son Bryce (Natalie); and all of Jane’s great-nieces and great-nephews. She will also be missed by her dear friends Janice and Lenora who will treasure Jane forever in their hearts. Jane was respected and valued by all who met with her. She leaves a legacy of generosity, caring, wisdom, and love. It was her wish that flowers be turned into donations to Ovarian Cancer Canada and Saskatoon United Way Journey Home. Thank you to the care providers at the Cancer Centre and Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, the palliative care team, and Dr. Vickie Martin. The family will have a celebration of Jane’s life at a later date.

Creating a lanyard for a mask

Madison Brice, a young entrepreneur from Pangman, uses beads and string to create a lanyard that can be used for any type of mask. Madison has a small home-based business called Krafty Kids Kreations. She felt that there would be a need for these lanyards, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the regulations that have been put in place.

Young entrepreneur creates lanyards for masks By Sabrina Kraft Madison Brice from Pangman, a young entrepreneur, decided to put a creative twist on the lanyard, to create a design that can be used for ensuring that a person does not lose their mask. The design is very practical right now, as there is a mandatory mask restriction in all indoor public places in Saskatchewan.

Madison started small in promoting her Krafty Kid Kreations business in 2017, when she attended a trade fair in Pangman. “It started as a hobby, but I wanted to expand it.” “At the beginning of this whole COVID pandemic, I had wondered what would be a good way to keep your mask on you at all times, but not on your ears or your neck. Then my mom and

I came up with the idea of creating these lanyards.” Once the lanyards were posted on Facebook, Madison received a lot of positive support. “A few of my teachers have them, and a lot of students in my school have them, and they all think that they are great.” The lanyard can be used with any type of mask. Madison can create roughly 30 lanyards in two hours.

“We will do customizable orders, or we will make a whole bunch. We are able to change the type of string and the beads in the lanyards.” “I feel that this was a really good hobby to get into, and when someone orders from me, it makes me happy in a lot of ways.” Madison has her Krafty Kids Kreations business on Facebook and Instagram.

Agribition begins search for most influential people in agriculture Canadian Western Agribition launched Canada’s first and only national search for the most influential individuals in agriculture. Presented by FCC, the public campaign will celebrate the people who are leading, inspiring, and building agriculture across all sectors of the industry. “Agriculture and agribusiness is one of the fastest growing industries and one of the biggest economic drivers in the country,” said CWA CEO, Chris Lane. “It is diverse, innovative, sustainable, and rooted in community. It only makes sense that we celebrate the people who are making it great.” The search opened on Nov. 17 with online nominations running until Dec. 31, 2020. Nominees will be considered in each of the following categories: • Upstarts: The bold, young leaders of agriculture who are willing to speak up and try something completely new. • Mentors: They have made Canadian agriculture what it is today and continue to share knowledge, expertise, and pave the way for a new generation. • Innovators: Those on the leading edge of agricultural science, research, invention, and technology. • Deal Makers: The movers-and-shakers, business owners, and entrepreneurs

behind Canada’s agri-business sectors that keep the industry growing. • Designated Hitters: The people you see as keynote speakers, association leaders, or volunteers that are always the first to sign up and speak up in the name of Canadian agriculture. A selection panel, made up of some the most recognizable and respected voices in Canadian agriculture, will have the difficult task of narrowing the field to the Top 50 finalists which will be unveiled to the country on “Canada’s Ag Day”, Feb. 23, 2021. Farm Credit Canada (FCC), the country’s leading agriculture lender, is the proud sponsor of the Top 50 in Canadian Agriculture program. “This industry is loaded with bright, energetic, and innovative entrepreneurs who are following their dreams and blazing new trails in all aspects of agriculture,” said Todd Klink, FCC Chief Marketing Officer. “I am confident there will be many influential people nominated for each category and I think the judges will be challenged to determine the award winners.” Nominations for the Top 50 in Canadian Agriculture are now open at www.agribition.com
