Award-winning duo PEAR to perform at Cugnet Centre Calgary-based husband and wife duo, PEAR, is set to perform at the Cugnet Centre on Tuesday, March 24. This is the fifth performance in the 2014-2015 Weyburn Concert Series.

Denis and Lynae Dunfresne formed PEAR in 2006, after headlining the international fiddle sensation, BARRAGE. Attendees can expect the PEAR performance to deliver modern country with folk sensibilities. The group has won three Canadian Country Music Association Awards and was named the Group of the Year in 2013 from the Country Music Association in Alberta.

PEAR has been self-described as "sweet..yet gritty". They have been labeled as the "most accomplished fiddle band you have ever heard of ".

The performances by PEAR have created a stir in the alternative, pop and country music categories, as their music crosses the boundaries, delving into each of these genres.

Lynae is the songstress and Denis, the musical backbone. Each of them has brought their experience as a solo artist to the table, opening for various individuals during their musical careers.

After fronting some of the most successful fiddle acts in history, Lynae and Denis Dufresne initially settled down to domestic life in Calgary. Eager to get back to performing, the Dunfresnes, along with a group of musicians, began their journey performing across the world. They have travelled to Europe, Scandanavia, France, Germany, China and throughout North America.

PEAR has been touring Saskatchewan during the month of March and Weyburn Concert Series is delighted to offer this talented duo.

Tickets for the concert are available at Superior Office Products.

"This facility provides a much more home-like environment for residents than the old building," Sun Country Health Region President and CEO Marga Cugnet said. "It is beneficial to the community because all healthcare services are now provided in one building."

Approximately $200 million has been invested toward the replacement of 13 long-term care facilities across the province. To date, eight of the 13 projects are complete.

Four are under construction and one project is in the planning phase.

ment for health providers to provide patient-centred care."

The provincial government has contributed $17.6 million to the project, which represents 80 per cent of the total shareable costs of $22 million. Local contributions cover the remaining 20 per cent.

"Our government is pleased to support this type of key infrastructure renewal," Ottenbreit said. "A strong and vibrant rural Saskatchewan is important to the province as a whole."

The facility replaces the old Radville Marian Health Centre. It also incorporates an attached medical clinic.

Sun Country Health Region cooks Rushed mornings, food-filled meetings, workplace celebrations, quick lunch breaks, midday slumps and end of day dinner struggles can make it difficult for staff members in Sun Country Health Region to eat well. But eating well at all times can boost a body's concentration, productivity and vitality. It can also reduce missed days of work by helping to boost over-all health.

To encourage staff members at Sun Country Health Region and in the larger community to eat well at work and make positive changes for a healthier work and food environment, the Population Health Promotion department of Sun Country Health Region is hosting a cooking challenge this month.

March is Nutrition Month in Saskatchewan Strong public health nutrition practice is critical to protecting and enhancing the health of the population, says Janice Giroux, Vice President, Community Health for Sun Country Health Region.

"Healthy eating means eating a variety of foods from the four food groups to feel good and maintain your health. Eating well, along with being active, can also lower your risk of disease and help you reach and maintain a healthy weight," she says. #iCook Challenge Coordinator and Public Health Nutritionist Barb Wright echoes that thought.

A healthy diet is a major factor in good health, she says. "Lifestyle and dietary changes can help prevent some chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers."

"Many people find that eating healthy meals and snacks at work is a challenge," says Mrs. Wright.

In general, Canadians are spending less time preparing meals, she says. "Food skills like cooking and meal planning are being lost in the shuffle of competing priorities and schedules. It is important for us to make time to prepare our foods at home and plan for healthy meals at work."

Four #icook Challenges will take place during March in Sun Country Health Region.

Each team will be made up of three health professionals who will have 15 minutes to prepare a healthy and tasty salad during the Challenge. Co-workers and spectators will be asked to taste each and vote to choose their favourite salad.

Challenges will take place in the following locations: Deerview Lodge on Friday, March 13 at 1:30 p.m.; Weyburn Community Services Building on Thursday, March 19 at 10 a.m.; Bengough Health Centre on Monday, March 23 at 11:30 a.m.; Carlyle Community Services Building on Wednesday, March 25 at 11 a.m.

The public is invited to watch the challenges in these four communities and to "like" the SCHR Population Health Promotion Facebook Page. Results from the #1cook Challenge and other nutrition tips will be posted regularly on that page throughout Nutrition Month.

dispute which had earlier resulted in a physical altercation between the individuals. The matter was mediated with no further police involvement.

On March 6, the Weyburn Police Service responded to a report of a noisy party. The matter was quickly dealt with and the noise curtailed.

With the onset of warmer weather, it is likely that more home gatherings may spill out onto the deck or outside areas. We wish to remind everyone to be cognizant of their neighbours.

On March 5, the Weyburn PS received a complaint of damage done to a parked vehicle. While parked in the 500 block of Fourth Avenue South, a vehicle window was smashed out. The matter is still under investigation.

On March 4, the Weyburn Police Service received a call regarding a minor hit and run vehicle collision. Subsequent investigation identified the vehicle and driver and the matter is still under investigation.

The Weyburn PS wish to remind all drivers that if you are involved in any type of collision, you are required at the bare minimum to leave your name and contact information on the vehicle you struck. More serious collisions involving: one or more out-of-province vehicles, vehicles not able to be driven or criminal aspects (impaired driving) are required to report the collision immediately to the nearest police agency.

On March 3, the Weyburn Police Service received a call regarding a suicidal 17 year-old male. Upon investigation, it was determined that the youth was possibly travelling on the highway. The RCMP were notified and located the youth a short time later. He was transported to a Regina hospital.

The Weyburn PS are investigating a report of a hit and run vehicle collision occurring at First Avenue and Government Road. A number of vehicles were passing through the intersection when a northbound SUV collided with a vehicle and left the scene. The matter is still under investigation.

With the extremely warm weather it will not be long until the river ice will be unsafe for snowmobiling or other activities. We urge extreme caution when on and around the river areas.

Snowplough parents

M A Y B E

By Andrea Corrigan I recently read an article by Kate McIlwain regarding T the current generation of parents pampering their chil- H A dren. I found it fascinating that many of the points she T’ brought up have been fiercely discussed among many of S my friends. I hope you enjoy it and to the parents that J the write-up is intended for, it's not too late to make U S T changes, for the future of your children.

The article is entitled, Coddle kids paying high price. Enjoy! M A generation of "snowplough" parents have pampered E their children so much that they are driving a mental health epidemic among today's teenagers, a leading Australian child psychologist says.

Dr Michael Carr-Gregg, a high-profile parenting expert who spoke to teachers and parents at The Illawarra Grammar School this week, said many Generation X parents had made their children's lives so easy that the kids were left with no way to handle problems or overcome obstacles on their own.

"This generation of parents just push all the obstacles out of the way and try to make life as simple and as easy as possible for their kids," he said.

"On the face of it, that's admirable because we all want the best for our kids, but it teaches them absolutely nothing about resilience and creates immense vulnerability when they leave home and go into the big wide world."

A snowplough parent drives their child right to the school gate instead of making them catch a bus or walk to school.

They buy their children all the latest gadgets and toys, wash, clean, cook and iron without making kids pitch in, and they make sure their sons and daughters only hand in meticulous homework and assignments.

Dr Carr-Gregg blames this increasingly common parenting approach on guilt, caused by mothers and fathers not spending enough time with their children.

"Part of it is that you've got parents with much smaller sized families, [who are] less connected to extended families so there is less support," he said.

"The parents are time poor, they are guilty and they tend to indulge their kids too much."

This was not only creating a generation of spoilt and overindulged children, he said, but was contributing to an unprecedented mental health crisis by leaving young people illequipped to deal with their own problems.

He said the rates of depression, anxiety, substance abuse and suicide were higher in regional areas like Wollongong than in major capital cities.

"About one in four young people will have a major psychological problem before leaving school … so arguably this is the most vulnerable generation in the history of the Illawarra," he said.

"It's ironic because we've seen the First and Second World Wars and Vietnam but in fact, from a psychological point of view, these kids are less resilient than their parents or grandparents."

Dr Carr-Gregg said it was up to parents to help avert a bigger mental health crisis by making their children do the hard work.

"I have a rule of thumb, 'never do for your children what they can do for themselves'," he said.

He said this meant putting children on a bus or bike, or showing them how to use public transport to get to school.

They should also have regular chores, strict rules about using technology and, when they are old enough, a part-time job to teach them the value of money.

"We just have to stop pampering them - it's reached epidemic proportions," he said.

"Many of the kids I talk to have never actually cooked for themselves, they've never actually made their own bed or tidied their own room, washed their clothes or ironed their shirts.

"Kids aren't made of glass and they are not going to shatter."

How to care for your kids without being a snowplough.

• Make sure your kids get enough sleep: Sleep is the single most important study tool because kids who don't get enough sleep are ''crabby and unpleasant and can't learn properly''.

• Make sure they eat a healthy breakfast: Research suggests 10per cent of schoolchildren don't eat breakfast and another 15per cent eat unhealthy food - they are neurologically unteachable.

• Zero tolerance of alcohol: Alcohol is toxic to the developing brain, so children should not drink anything at all until at least 16.

• Moderate and limit technology use: Dr Carr-Gregg says most parents are unaware of tools that allow them to block or moderate their children's internet and video game use.

Parents need to use programs to allow kids to access the internet for homework but block social media that will distract them.

• Talk to your kids. Eat at the table: Parents don't spend enough time talking one-onone with their kids when they are young.

Eating at the dinner table leads to better academic results, language development and protection against alcohol and drug abuse.

Facebook Saying of the Week: Tomorrow is never promised, so today I want all my friends and family to know how thankful I am that all of you are in my life.

Setting a goal

By Linda Wegner So now that you've determined where you want to go in your career, what's the next step? An excerpt from my book 3D Success: Changing Careers in Mid Life puts it this way. "Simply parking by the side of the road, convinced that you need to alter your course, is not enough.

You need to know where you're ultimately headed. You've decided the direction, but now it's time to focus on taking the right road. Although you don't have all the details worked out, be clear about the things you want to change in your career."

Whether it's a matter of a career change or a personal problem that needs to be addressed, trying to create change without a clear vision of the next step in that change can be compared to reading a road map with less than perfect vision. The results can range from wasted time to disaster and that's where goal setting comes in.

Setting goals can involve proven guidelines and suggestions as well as well designed templates but the exercise also needs to incorporate your personal dreams and desires. Not only that, your reasons for wanting to reach those goals must be positive, attractive, compelling and appealing. Be assured that there will be potholes in the road but knowing where and why you are headed in a particular direction makes it easier to define your target.

It's essential that you pin down what you really want in this new phase of your life and although you can't possible predict all that will take place during the process, without a clearly stated objective, creating a plan becomes virtually impossible.

Above all, never forget that God loves you and wants you to succeed.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "…plans to give you hope and a future."

A best seller forever When people choose a book to read, they often choose a book that someone recommends. Some get a title from a friend, but many look to the bestsellers list.

The songs or psalms of King David from 3,000 years ago, have been bestsellers, not for 30 weeks, but for 30 centuries, that's a long time. They stayed on the bestsellers list because they have a message that helps in life.

Psalm 19 has a message that can change life for the better for many people today. One of the issues for people today is a poor self image, the thinking that there is nothing very good in me. This thinking can be so destructive.

Reflect briefly on Psalm 19. David says to look at the amazing beauty of God's heavens.

Think of the incredible beauty of the stars. Today we can look at the photos, from the Hubble Telescope, of numerous galaxies in astonishing shapes and colors. Truly, the stars in the heavens tell us of the wonderful creativity of God. His next point is to reflect on what happens in the life of a person when God speaks, and a person listens, and follows the voice of God. David says that into this life comes new life, wisdom and joy. David saw this in his own life, when God spoke to him, and he also saw this in the lives of other people. He is saying that when the voice of God truly touches a person something wonderful happen in the life of that person.

Lastly, he talks about himself. He says that his life is full of errors, faults and sins. It seems that he is saying, look at the beauty of God's amazing heavens, look at the beauty of a life touched by God's voice, and look at sinful me. But David isn't only thinking about his sin, he asks God to forgive his sin, and to protect him from sin. And David knows that he will be forgiven, he will be blameless and washed clean from his sin.

In Psalm 19, David is saying, "Look at the amazing beauty of God's heavens, look at the amazing beauty in a life touched

by God's voice and lastly, look at the beauty of my forgiven life."

All of us have things in Former Weyburn resident our lives that we are not proud of, but when we have Tyler Campbell for receiving the a sense of God's vast forgiveMedal of Bravery. ness and cleansing then we start to see the beauty of Recognizing those who make a difference to us all!

If you would like to tip your hat to a special person or David wrote this Psalm exorganization, please call Weyburn this Week at 842-3900. pressing his thanks to God for forgiveness and his appreciation of the beauty of God's creation in his life.

the calendar year, participating Dairy Queen and DQ Grill & Chill® locations will serve fans a free small vanilla soft-serve cone with the signature curl on top (limit one per customer).

"This is all about connecting with our fans and not just about telling them, but showing them how much we appreciate their loyalty. After all, our fans have been supporting us for 75 years, so we thought it would be fun to bring the celebration to them," said Candida Ness, Senior Director of Marketing for Dairy Queen Canada. "We think this is a great day for our fans and our system.

We can't wait."

Soft serve is part of DQ Canada's DNA and the taste is unmatchable. The DQ soft-serve cone fans have come to love is one of the most recognized treats

in the world. It's fondly referred to as the "cone with the curl on top."

During Free Cone Day, DQ Canada is also requesting donations for

Children's Miracle Network, which raises funds to help save and improve the lives of kids treated at 170 children's hospitals across the U.S. and Canada. Over

the last 30 years, the Dairy Queen system has raised more than $100 million for Children's Miracle Network member hospitals in local communities.

Celebrating 100 years

Babe Bannatyne happily celebrated her 100th birthday on March 7 with her nine great grandchildren: Rudyard & Sophia Bannatyne; and David, Isabelle, Kingston, Kensington, George, Josephine & Thomas Cugnet.

MAYOR'S MUSINGS

by Mayor Debra Button If you are like me at this time of year we are getting antsy to have winter over. Cold weather, shoveling snow, mixed with a little rain just to make very thing an icy mess, but we can also count our blessings that we don't have the issues as we see in

the East coast. However there may be a positive from all of that. Weyburn has been on a winning streak lately with our home-town athletes making it to the big time including Graham DeLaet, Brendon LaBatte, Derrick Pouliot, and Brett Jones who

was recently recruited to play for the New York Giants. It's enough to have some people wondering if there's something in the water here in Weyburn. Well, who knows?

Maybe there is.

We're always happy to see our local athletes move on to bigger and better things but when it comes to other members of the community, such as our city staff, we are not

quite so happy when it happens. As many of you know our long-time Director of Finance Jon Michaud is moving on to new opportunities in the private sector. Jon has always been one of those people who has a gift for making all those who come to city hall feel comfortable and at ease as he discusses issues around taxation and utilities. We will be sad to see him go and we wish him well in his future endeavours.

We will be facing a tax increase this year. We are still working to keep it as low as possible but it will likely be in the area of five per cent.

Council is not approaching this lightly. We want to make sure ratepayers keep as much money in their pockets as possible but we also want to en-

sure we can continue to deliver high quality basic services.

We are always under pressure with existing infrastructure and how to make sure we keep it in good shape with good maintenance practices, although new would be nice it is also very pricey. The same goes for some of our equipment. We were advised by our Fire Chief that we need a new aerial ladder truck for the cost of $1.5 million, wow how do you pay for that alone without adding the large operating cost increases we see each year and not stay under the 5%, but we will try we have done it before and we will do it again as there has to be a balance between what is palatable to the public and what is needed to sustain and grow the City.

The good news is that, just like the whole province, the oil and gas downturn has been far less devastating than some may have thought in the short term. Over the past decade, as a city and a province, we have diversified and our economies are continuing to grow. We have learned from the "boom and bust" cycles in the past and this time we are succeeding is smoothing out these cycles and we are prepared for whatever the future sends our way and we are very proud of that fact.

We have had the benefit in our city of terrific teamwork among the private and public sectors, as well as among regular citizens. I'm pleased to see us keep up this teamwork as we continue to move forward together.

It was a very busy week involving WCS students and teams.

On March 11, the Weyburn Rotary Music Festival held its choral competition in the Cugnet Centre. All the choirs from the Weyburn schools competed. Many individuals and groups performed during the week at other venues of the music festival.

The Stars of the Festival concert will be held on March 18 in the Cugnet Centre starting at 7:30 p.m.

On March 12, the intermediate boys basketball team finished off their season at district playoffs in Estevan.

On March 13, the WCS SRC is hosting the Horizon Leadership Conference all day in the Cugnet Centre. The senior girls'

basketball team will start the journey to provincials when they attend the conference playoffs in Yorkton. The boys' basketball team does not have conference playoffs and advance directly to regionals on March 20 and 21, so they will host a mini-tournament this Friday and Saturday. The cheer squad is in a competition on March 14 at the U. of R. and finish off their season in Moose Jaw on March 21 at provincials.

There is no school on March 16 due to the three-way conferencing that will be held on March 18 and 19. All parents are to make appointments to come to the school and find out about the progress of their student.

Farm Safety Week and the Flip Side of ATVs

Stay safe this farming season!

Economical, versatile and fun, all-terrain vehicles have long been indispensable tools on Canadian farms and ranches. But as the size, power and popularity of ATVs has increased, so too has the potential for serious injuries.

March 14 to 20 is National Farm Safety Week, a great time to review the facts about ATVs and make sure you and your family are riding safe.

"It doesn't take much to roll an ATV," warns Canada Safety Council's resident off-road expert Mike Prud'homme. "And there's nothing fun about an ATV rollover. If you have 600 pounds plus gear falling on you, it's going to be hard to push off."

If you use an ATV for work or recreation, follow these safety precautions to reduce your risk: 1. Train up. A few hours in a Canada Safety Council ATV course could save your life.

2. Suit up. Wear a helmet, eye protection, long pants, long sleeves, gloves and non-skid shoes for every ride.

3. Ride the right size. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations. Adult-sized ATVs are not appropriate for children under 16.

4. Ride by day. Even on familiar terrain, low light and reduced visibility will increase the chances of a mishap. Park your ATV after dark and in poor weather.

5. Never take passengers. Most ATVs are not designed for doubling. Do not attach passenger seats to your ATV. When using ATVs for farm chores, be extra cautious when hauling or towing.

1. Lighten up. Check your owner's manual for load limits and resist the temptation to over load. Use proper tie-downs to secure your load and properly distribute the weight. Weight distribution is extremely important. Any load will affect the performance and stability of the vehicle, so adjust your driving accordingly.

2. Don't alter your ATV. Adding after-market passenger seats or other implements will affect the weight distribution and stability of the machine, increasing the likelihood of tip-over and rollover accidents.
