New doctor joins Primary Health Care team in Weyburn Dr. Janessa Grosenick joined the team at the Weyburn Primary Health Care Clinic on September 1, 2015. Dr. Grosenick will practice family medicine at the clinic, alongside the rest of the

Primary Health Care team.

She was raised in Radville and trained in family medicine in Saskatoon and Regina.

"We are so pleased to have Dr. Grosenick join us in pro-

viding care to the residents of Weyburn and area," says Wanda Miller, Regional Director, Primary Health in Sun Country Health Region (SCHR). Sun Country Health Region operates the

Primary Health Clinic on the second floor at 117 Third Street in Weyburn.

"Her arrival brings our complement of doctors at the clinic up to five doctors" says Mrs. Miller. "Three of the existing doctors will leave the clinic in January 2016.

We continue to recruit for the positions."

According to Miller, the departure of doctors from the clinic in January is not expected to result in a disruption of service for clients as the positions are being refilled as soon as possible.

Weyburn Councillor named WWeEYBURN D ENTURE CLINIC keep you smiling and looking your best!

President of National Police Body Weyburn Mayor Debra Button today has announced that City Councillor Rob Stephanson has been selected to serve as President of the Canadian Association of Police Governance (CAPG).

"This is a significant national group that makes decisions that affect the safety of Canadians all across the country. On behalf of everyone in Weyburn, I am very proud of Rob's achievement in being named to this distinguished position," Button said.

Stephanson has been a Weyburn City Councillor since 1996. He has also been a member of the Weyburn Board of Police Commissioners since 2003. He previously served on the CAPG executive as Treasurer.

"I have been attending the CAPG National Conferences since the Regina Conference held in 2011, which I found very interesting. I feel my experience, background and involvement with the Weyburn Police Service and with municipal government in general will assist me in providing leadership on national police governance issues," Stephanson said.

A Certified General Accountant by training, Stephanson also served as President of the Saskatchewan Association of Certified General Accountants for two terms as well as a number of boards and committees associated with this role. He is presently the representative on the Certified General Accountants Canada Board for the region of Saskatchewan, Yukon and the Northwest Territories.

Stephanson is an active member of his community who has organized and chaired many events including, being active in organizing the 2004 Saskatchewan Summer Games and being active in the local Young Fellows Club of Weyburn service club.

Canadian Association of Police Governance (CAPG) is the only national organization dedicated to excellence in police governance in Canada. It was previously named the Canadian Association of Police Boards. Since 1989, CAPG has worked diligently to achieve the highest standards as the national voice of civilian oversight of municipal police. It has grown to represent more than 75 municipal police boards and commissions across Canada that together employ in excess of 35,000 police personnel - approximately three-quarters of the municipal police personnel in Canada.

Members of municipal police boards and commissions are locally elected officials and citizen representatives who play a valuable role in their communities.

Also on August 28, the Weyburn Police Service received a 9-1-1 call from a 39 year-old female who stated she was being followed after being attacked at a local bar.

Police located two females ages 23 and 26 who were arrested for assault. Upon further investigation, it was found that all parties involved were highly intoxicated. The matter remains under investigation.

On August 27, members of the Weyburn Police were called to an argument that was starting to get out of control at a local bar. Upon police arrival, a 38 year-old male was found to be arguing with a 48 year-old male.

Those involved were separated and the situation mediated. No charges were laid.

On August 25, members of the Weyburn Police attended a single vehicle accident involving a pedestrian.

A 15 year-old female was walking south on 18th Street. When she attempted to cross First Avenue North, she was struck by an SUV being driven by a 66 yearold female, who was travelling East on 1st Avenue

North. The 15 year-old was transported to Regina by Stars Air ambulance. Members of the RCMP accident reconstructionists attended the scene and assisted in the investigation. The matter remains under investigation.

On August 24, while on patrol, a member of the Weyburn Police Service attempted to pull over a motorist for a traffic infraction.

The motorist failed to stop and began to flee from po-

lice. Police pursued the vehicle for a short time as the speeds were initially low. The pursuit was called off once speeds increased and the vehicle driving actions became erratic. Weyburn City Police advised RCMP, who were in the area, and they also attempted to stop the vehicle as it exited the city on Hwy #39 heading toward Regina.

The pursued vehicle continued to drive in a manner that was dangerous and the

RCMP also called off the pursuit. Further investigation revealed the vehicle may have been stolen and a suspect has been identified.

If you or anyone you know has any information regarding any of the above crimes, or any other serious crime, police are encouraging you to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222Tips(8477), or to contact the Weyburn Police Service at 306-848-3250.

On August 29, Weyburn Police received a report from the RCMP that witnesses had seen a vehicle pass vehicles in a construction zone near Hitchcock, and the vehicle was travelling North on Highway #39. A description was obtained of the vehicle and it was subsequently located and stopped by members of the Weyburn Police Service. The driver was charged under the Traffic Safety Act for speeding.

Also on August 29, Weyburn Police received a call reporting a home invasion by a group of five to seven adult males who had kicked in the front door of the residence. Once inside the residence, the males assaulted several people and caused property damage.

The suspects fled prior to police arrival. The matter remains under investigation.

On August 28, Weyburn Police Service members were conducting a bar check when they found two males causing a disturbance. Subsequent investigation determined the 32 year-old male had an outstanding warrant from Regina. He was arrested and later released from cus-

Just one more

I don’t know the answer

By Helen Waller Farmers are busy heading back into the fields and the children are busy back at school.

I don't know about your place but it’s a whirlwind around here. With all that needs to be done at this time of year, like packing lunches for the field or packing lunches for school, there is always something to do. It feels like I am running in circles. (Perhaps that’s where crop circles come from.)

It hit me as I scrolled through the Facebook news feed this morning. The posts were mostly adorable back-to-school photos of children in their brand new outfits and haircuts.

Nothing too out of the ordinary until I came across my sister-in-law’s post. Don't get me wrong. My niece and nephew are cute as pie, but her post was different than the rest.

It was the not the usual back-to-school photo, but rather a post in honour of a young farmer, who shockingly passed away last night. He was a farmer, husband and father of three who fell ill and within one month had suddenly passed away. It broke my heart to read that post. It also scared me to read that post.

Here was a man, with a life similar to that of mine, busy getting the kids back to school and busy trying to get his harvest off. In what was a shockingly short amount of time, it had all been taken from him. He wasn't going to be there to send his kids off to school, or have another hopper full of grain to unload.

At a time of year when we are so busy, rushing to get it all done, it reminded me of how precious life really is and we never really know what tomorrow will bring.

So be thankful for every moment you get because someone out there wishes for just one more. Whether it be just one more meal in the field with her husband or just one more combine ride with their Dad. You never know when it is going to be your last one.

Life is short and we are not guaranteed another tomorrow. All we have is today. Be thankful for whatever it may bring.

By Linda Wegner There are some days when I simply don't have any answers. To those who know me best, that may seem highly improbable but it's true.

And, I suspect, it applies to many of you as well.

Moving from the foolish to the serious, here are some examples of "life's unanswered questions" someone posted online: Why does a round pizza come in a square box? If a person owns a piece of land, do they own it to the centre of the earth? I won't go on so relax….but between you and me, those queries are not worth spending time on.

On the other hand, some of life's challenges cry out for an explanation. For starters, here's one that I've never been

FORECAST Friday, September 4 High 23 Low 15 Saturday, September 5 High 20 Low 15 Sunday, September 6

able to explain: Why am I a long-term cancer survivor while others succumb to the disease before they've had the opportunity to really live? I don't know. What I do know, however, is that I have learned to despise "easy answers".

In chatting with a good friend this afternoon, the deteriorating health of a mutual friend was part of the conversation and I told her of my reluctance to publicly celebrate the upcoming twenty-third anniversary of being cancer-free in light of his condition. Without weighing in with theological justification she urged me to celebrate both lives because we are promised healing -

Watch for changes to Weyburn This Week coming in 2 weeks!

What’s new?

For the past nearly 5 years, I have been asked to pilot Knox Presbyterian Church, Weyburn in recovery towards having a full-time resident Minister of our own. It has been my privilege to journey with these courageous and trusting people as we have sought God's leadership and direction for this congregation.

Our new Minister has arrived, his name is Jay Song, and everyone is invited to the Service of Ordination and Induction of Jay on Friday, September 18 at 7:00PM at Knox Church.

I am thankful to Weyburn This Week and to the Weyburn Ministerial for the opportunity to write for this newspaper. Today I just want to say thanks, to you and to God, for this opportunity to share Good News, a privilege not accorded to everyone!

The Gospel story in every congregation is a book on which the pages continue to be written.

God is the author. We may have the privilege of featuring on one page, one paragraph, even one line in the continuing story. It is God's Church, and God's story, not ours. We just are thankful to even be mentioned.

May God continue to bless and prosper the influence of the Christian Church in this growing and vital City and community.

Grace and Peace!

Rev. Bob Wilson

We can help you u with the rental of mats, trucking & spotting s otti sp ting for any lease or road.

Over 400,000 truck drivers keep the Canadian economy rolling as they transport the goods we use every day.

National Trucking Week, Sep-tember 6-12, 2015, is the time to thank them for what they do. As sponsor of the event, the Canadian Trucking Alliance is keen to shine the limelight on the benefits of truck driving as a career.

The Conference Board of Canada predicts the industry will be short 25,000 drivers by the year 2020. That's not very far away. Industry advocates promise that trucking is a more at-tractive job than many people might think.

Schedule flexibility. Trucking is more than longhaul driving. It also encompasses local and regional pickup and delivery jobs. Drivers can be home in their own beds every night or every weekend. Or if they like the freedom of long-haul driving, they can schedule long trips that let them come home for a long break once or twice a month.

Salary. Annual income depends on how much time drivers choose to spend on the road. The average 2013 salary as reported by Service Canada was just over $38,000. But nearly 20 per cent of drivers earn over $50,000 per year. Some long-haul drivers earn over $80,000 per year.

It's good for mid-life career changes. For people who are bored stiff with their first ca-reers, trucking is Trucking is a great career for an ideal mid-life change. Most new drivers are over age people who get bored with routine.

A Salute to all involved in the Trucking Industry!

Canada-U.S. truck border crossings down Truck traffic between Canada and the U.S. has declined while it has increased between the U.S. and its southern neighbour, Mexico.

The Journal of Commerce reports U.S. Transportation Department figures show since the second quarter of 2005, truck crossings between Canada and the U.S. decreased 16 percent but in the same period grew 19 percent between the U.S. and Mexico.

Also, truck crossings at both U.S. borders have increased since 2009, as the level with Mexico approaches what the U.S. has with Canada.

It reports in the second quarter of this year, Mexican border truck crossings with the U.S. were up 2.6 percent year-over-year, while crossings at the U.S. Canadian border dropped 1.6 percent.

Compared to the first quarter of the year, Canadian truck crossings increased 4.1 percent in the second quarter of 2015, while there was a 5.1 percent jump in June from May after falling in April from May. At Detroit, the second-largest U.S. truck border crossing, truck volumes increased 3.4 percent from the first quarter, according to JOC, but were down 4.6 percent year-over-year.

Planes, Trucks, and Automobiles will enjoy more than 22 kilometres of newly paved road Crews completed more than $29 million worth of major projects this week that included grading and paving work and two culvert installations.

As the result of a $4.9 million investment, air traffic at the Buffalo Narrows Airport will experience smoother runways, taxiways and aprons. This airport is an important base for the provincial water bomber fleet and this investment will ensure those planes are able to take-off, land, and taxi on a smoother surface.

Travel between Gravelbourg and Lafleche will now be smoother and safer after the completion of $18 million in grading and paving work. Additional paving is currently in progress on Highway 43, east of Gravelbourg, and is expected to finish up this fall.

A major paving project on 10 km of Highway 33 between Lajord and Kronau starts this week, with completion anticipated in October. There are also seal coating and culvert projects beginning on Highway 6 near Southey.

Additional travel information about emergency road closures, the status of ferries, barges, and other road activities can also be found on the Highway Hotline at www.saskatchewan.ca/live/transportation/highwayhotline. It's also available by calling 306-787-7623 in Regina, 306-933-8333 in Saskatoon, the SaskTel cellular network at *ROAD, and toll-free across Canada at 1-888-335-7623.

Drivers are reminded to observe posted speed limits in construction zones and slow to 60 km/hr when passing highway workers and equipment.

The weekly construction update provides Saskatchewan residents with the latest details on projects underway to help plan safe and efficient travel throughout the summer and fall.

The Government of Saskatchewan has invested a record $5.2 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2008.

Let’s keep National Trucking momentum going!

By David Bradley When I first proposed the idea of National Trucking Week to the CTA board and the provincial associations back in 1998, I was hoping it would take root and become somewhat entrenched in the industry but I could never imagine the sort of momentum that would propel the nation-wide enthusiasm we’ve seen over the last 15 years. All across Canada, participation in employee appreciation events and public education and awareness initiatives during NTW continues to grow. But we can never forget that respect for our industry and especially for the hard-working men and women who drive our nation’s economy shouldn’t end after this post-Labour day celebration. Truth be told, I am sensing some real progress on that front.

NTW-ENG-2015The driver shortage is helping to focus all participants in the supply chain on the impact profes-

Transport

sional truck drivers and all the other people who support the movement of freight have on their businesses’ sustainability. I know for a fact that carriers and the more progressive of their customers are working in tandem to improve freight efficiency and productivity. There has never been such an intense focus on training, which will serve to further enhance the level professionalism. The industry’s image is improving accordingly.

The seeds have been planted and beginning to sprout. But like the concept of NTW itself many years ago, what we need now is some nourishment and momentum from the trucking industry and the supply chain in general. I know it can be done. In the meantime, enjoy National Trucking Week 2015.

Don’t forget to remind your employees how much they are truly appreciated! And, don’t be afraid to let your friends and colleagues know how great an industry trucking is.

Rider Insider BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

(306) 897-7499 www.pursuitsc.com 136 RAILWAY AVE., WEYBURN â&#x20AC;˘ (306) 842-3395

Quite obviously, it's a disaster.

With their season on life support, the Saskatchewan Roughriders came up with one of the most uninspired efforts in years Sunday in Ottawa which ultimately led to an embarrassing 35-13 defeat.

The Riders' record dropped to 0-9 and virtually any hope that the season can be saved was lost.

Why? Because no indication was given that this trainwreck of a season is anywhere close to being turned around.

The Riders won the coin toss at the outset of Sunday's game but deferred to the second half which gave Ottawa the ball. They promptly moved 82 yards in just five plays for a 7-0 lead before rookie Rider quarterback Brett Smith even got a chance to touch the ball.

You'll hear a lot about Brett Smith coming up.

After a prompt two-andout by the Rider offense in their opening series (which included the first of 10 RedBlacks sacks on the day), Ottawa then put together a 78-yard drive which culmi-

nated in another touchdown. 14-0 Ottawa before the game was eight minutes old.

Ready to play on defense?

Hardly.

But the game turned in the second quarter. The Riders got on the board with rookie Naaman Roosevelt's first career touchdown, a 9yard pass from Brett Smith, 2:36 into the second quarter. 14-10 RedBlacks.

However seven minutes later an ill-advised Smith pass was intercepted in the Ottawa endzone.

He was given the hook.

That's okay, we thought.

Back-up Tino Sunseri would get a look for a couple of series and then Smith would be back in there.

That, apparently, was the plan initially.

Sunseri's first drive seemed successful enough until Rider kicker Paul McCallum clanked the upright on a 35-yard attempt late in the half.

The teams went into the break with Ottawa still up 14-10.

Surely we'd see Brett Smith - the rookie gunslinger from Wyoming who's gaining more and more Rider fans with every snap - in the second half, right?

Wrong.

Saskatchewan had six possessions in the second half and Sunseri quarterbacked them all. As the Riders fumbled the ball away time and again, as offensive linemen went down

like flies and the Ottawa sacks mounted, it turned into an incredibly wretched display.

All the while, Smith stood stoicly on the Rider sidelines while clutching his helmet.

Definition of the word stoic: â&#x20AC;&#x153;a person who accepts what happens without complaining or showing emotion.â&#x20AC;?

We were assured in the broadcast booth that Smith was indeed not injured.

So why wouldn't he come back into the game? Obviously he represented the Ridersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best chance to win, no? â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a thought to putting him back in but things transpired that made it a moot point so we stuck with Tino,â&#x20AC;? Riders coach Corey Chamblin told 620 CKRM after the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I'll leave it at that. It started temporary but ended up being longer than that.â&#x20AC;?

Roughriders refused to reveal what â&#x20AC;&#x153;transpiredâ&#x20AC;? with Smith on the sidelines.

That's fine. That opens the door for us to speculate.

And my guess is that Smith told off whoever made the decision to yank him from the game. Could it have been offensive coordinator Jacques Chapdelaine or Chamblin himself? At this point, it doesn't matter.

And, if true, how could you blame Smith? His defensive teammates were missing tackles left and right and early on gave the Riders no chance to win.

And Smith throws one interception and gets pulled?

It would seem inexplicable, but then again no one can explain what's gone so horribly wrong week-in and week-out in the worst Roughrider season in nearly 40 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was some good things in all phases but as a team we lost,â&#x20AC;? Chamblin shrugged afterwards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not enough guys rose to the occasion to win this game.â&#x20AC;?

How many guys rising to the occasion is it going to take to win a game? You can't fire 44 players but you can fire one coach and Chamblin was asked afterwards if he expects to be directing this football club in next weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Labour Day Classic against Winnipeg Sunday at Mosaic Stadium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every week I come into this whether we're 8-2 or 09, the decision is never mine,â&#x20AC;?

Chamblin said incredibly calmly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still come to work and do what I need to do.

The decision doesn't lie in my hands.â&#x20AC;?

Your guess is as good as mine as to whether or not he's on the sidelines come Sunday.

Date set for FC event

Prestige FC, the first home-grown mixed martial arts promotion in the Province of Saskatchewan, has announced the date for their inaugural event in Weyburn.

Prestige FC 1: Atonement will take place on Saturday, October 24, live at Crescent Point Place, with co-main events topping the bill. The main card will stream on GoFightLive.com and air on tape-delay on both The Fight Network and ACCESS Communications.

Headlining the card will be a welterweight clash pitting three-time UFC combatant Mike "Biggie" Rhodes against Ryan "The Sylvan Lake Strangler" Machan, who is the top 170-pounder in Canada outside of the UFC roster.

Completing in the co-main event is Saskatchewan's own Kurt "The Hurt" Southern battling Gabriel "Solo" Solorio in a bantamweight tilt.

"We are very proud to be Saskatchewan's undisputed first born-and-bred MMA promotion, and just as proud to be able to put together this level of a lineup in our very first event," said Cord Crowthers, CEO and Matchmaker of Prestige FC. "There is MMA talent on this card from across Canada as well as the United States and Brazil, and from world-renown elite camps like Tristar and Roufusport.

This weekend Weyburn will play host to some of the strongest bench pressers and powerlifters in the province as the Saskatchewan Powerlifting Association holds their provincial championships in town. The championships will be held on September 5 at the Weyburn Junior High gym, with the bench press competition at 9:30 a.m., and two full powerlifting sessions to follow at 10 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Six local lifters will be involved in the event. Chris Michel will be competing in the bench press competition, with Charlene Cretin, Mikayla Lohse, Brittinay Rowland, and Marnel Spencer competing in the first powerlifting session. Randy Schiller will be competing in the afternoon session.

"Provincials is a stepping stone to qualifying to compete at the National Championship," says meet director Ryan Fowler. "Athletes must achieve a national qualifying total to be able to lift at Nationals. With Nationals being in Regina in February, there are many athletes trying to hit their numbers so this weekend should be a great show of strength."

Powerlifting is a strength sport that consists of a squat, bench press, and deadlift. Athletes get three attempts at each lift and use their best attempt for each lift to count towards their overall total.

The public is encouraged to attend to support our local and provincial athletes. Admission is $5 with children aged 12 and under free.
