Saskatchewan doctors ratify new contract
A prairie sunrise
A new four year contract has been ratified by Saskatchewan physicians. The contract agreement covers the period April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2017. Approximately 90 per cent of physicians voted in favor of the agreement. "This agreement represents a fair and competitive compensation package for the growing number of physicians in our province," Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. "It demonstrates the shared commitment of government and physicians to improve access to care for Saskatchewan residents." "The physicians of Saskatchewan are focused on improving the quality of patient care and this agreement will allow us to continue those improvements," SMA President Dr. Mark Brown said. "This agreement recognizes the evolving nature of practicing medicine in Saskatchewan. Given the current fiscal circumstances, the agreement provides a modest increase in fees and maintains a strong foundation to continue improving quality and access in the health care system." Over four years, the agreement provides physicians with a total fee increase of 4.9 per cent, along with 3 per cent in one-time lump sum payments. As a result of the agreement, funding for medical services and programs will increase by approximately $85 million over the four year agreement. The agreement provides investments in programs to support increased patient access to medical services, best practice and standardized care. As well, it continues a strong emphasis on rural Saskatchewan and supports overall success in recruiting and retaining physicians in the province. "This agreement recognizes how much we value the significant contributions of physicians to Saskatchewan's health system, and will help maintain our competitiveness across Canada," Duncan added. More than 2,200 physicians are licensed to practice in Saskatchewan - an increase of 27.7 per cent or 482 doctors since March 2007.

Farmland Winds whip through ownership Weyburn survey open for two more weeks Weyburn and area residents were kept busy during the last few days, cleaning up the damage caused by strong winds. Wind speeds across the province reached an average of 100 km per hour, with some areas receiving up to 100 mm of rain. Damage included the dislodging of the light standard at the intersection of Third Street and Hwy. 39, trees uprooted, branches and debris strewn about, along with outdoor furniture and play structures. The downed tree in this photo was located on Duncan Drive in Weyburn.

There are two weeks left to participate in the farmland ownership survey. Consultations run until Monday, August 10. As of July 24, 2015, more than 1,700 surveys have been received. The information collected will help the Government of Saskatchewan determine who should be allowed to own farmland in Saskatchewan. "We are pleased with the amount of participation to date," Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. "That being said, there is still time left to take part, and I encourage everyone interested to have their say. The more people who participate, the fuller our understanding will be of public opinion regarding farmland ownership in our province. It will help ensure that we make the best decisions for the people of Saskatchewan." Once consultations end, survey results and comments will be posted online in the fall of 2015. Names, addresses and all other identifying information will be removed before results are published. After the results have been analyzed, decisions will be made regarding next steps. The survey can be completed online at www.Saskatchewan.ca/farmland. Paper copies are available at Ministry of Agriculture Regional Offices and can be requested by calling the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377. An education document accompanies the survey to give participants information regarding the existing legislation surrounding farmland ownership in the province.

Rollover causes significant damage to vehicle and home The Weyburn Police Service are seeking assistance in solving an incident that happened on the Wal-Mart parking lot in the early morning hours of July 26. A vehicle was parked on the lot where the driver was sleeping. He was awakened by a sound to find that a shopping cart had been pushed into his vehicle with enough speed to cause a moderate amount of damage. He saw a small dark blue or black vehicle leaving the area at the same time. Anyone having information about this incident is asked to contact the Weyburn PS, or Crime Stoppers. On July 26, the Weyburn PS were called to a report of a domestic disturbance. As the result of their attending, the male was arrested for drunk in public and held in cells until sober. On July 25, at about 1:15 a.m., as the result of a traffic stop, a 29 year-old male was arrested and charged with driving while impaired. Also on July 25, at about 6:30 p.m., the Weyburn PS were dispatched to a local
pub to deal with a fight in progress. A 41 year-old male and a 32 year-old male were arrested. Each are facing a charge for fighting. On July 23, the Weyburn PS received a report of a computer fraud where through a series of pop-up ads on the computer the owner was led to a scam site. The owner did not suffer any loss. This is just a reminder that it is extremely difficult at times to know which are legitimate applications on a computer or web site. Also on July 23, at about 6:00 p.m., and as a result of a driving complaint, a 57 year-old male was located and arrested for having care and control of a vehicle while impaired. Further, on July 23, the Weyburn PS received a call about a child abduction. Upon investigation, it was learned that one of the estranged parents had taken the child to visit family. As there is no custody order in place, no crime had been committed. The matter was mediated.
Also on July 23, the Weyburn PS were called numerous times to keep the peace between a 36 year-old female and 43 year-old male while the relationship terminated and property was removed from the residence. On July 22, at about 1:40 a.m., the Weyburn Police Service received a call of a collision between a vehicle and a residence. Upon investigation, it was learned that a vehicle travelling west on Fifth Avenue N.E., lost control colliding with a number of objects/fences before rolling and coming to rest in a back yard of a residence. The 17 year-old driver and 17 year-old passenger were not injured but were examined at the Weyburn General Hospital. The 17 year-old driver is facing one charge of dangerous driving. Alcohol was not a factor. Also on July 22, the Weyburn PS received a report of a suspicious person going through a vehicle in a yard. The person was found to be the estranged husband of the property owner who had returned to gather some
personal property. On July 21, the Weyburn PS were dispatched to a report of a domestic disturbance. They had attended this residence a few times in
the recent past. As a result of this incident, both the 23 year-old male and 19 yearold female were taken into custody. The male is facing one charge of assault and the
female is facing one charge of assault causing bodily harm. Each will be making a court appearance and are on conditions to have no contact with the other.

A holiday
A song from the heart
By Helen Waller My husband and I were recently invited to help celebrate a 50th wedding anniversary. I mean 50 years! This couple has spent more time together than I have been on planet earth. The invite may have stated ‘your presence is your gift’ but in my opinion, that wasn't going to cut it. This was quite the accomplishment and I didn't feel right showing up empty-handed. So I Googled the words fifty, years, anniversary and gift. Sometimes Google comes up with quite a lot of options to sort through, but this time, every search engine came to the same conclusion. When a couple celebrates their 50th wedding anniversary, you buy them GOLD. There is not a modern day substitution. The only thing that fits the bill is GOLD. Makes sense to me. Fifty years together definitely deserves GOLD of some sort (perhaps in the form of a medal). So, we arrived for the evening with my basket full of GOLD wrapped goodies (think champagne and Ferrero Rocher chocolates). The perfect go-to gift. Even if he doesn't like it, she will, and let's face it, after a few years of marriage myself I have learned that a happy wife is a happy life. The evening was full of great food, drinks, laughs and, best of all, marriage advice. As the evening proceeded, it was brought to our attention that another couple there had celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary. After doing the math, I realized we were among a set of couples who had spent over 100 years together, happily married. As the evening settled down, I asked the couples to give some advice/quotes to couples to keep their marriage working. The answers were both entertaining and surprising! The husband said - “Yes, Dear. The two magic words in any marriage.” The wife said - “Darn right, and don't forget it.” The husband said - “Men to the left.” The wife said - “Because women are always right.” The wife said - “I hate arguing.” The husband said - “But the fun is in making up.” The husband said - “Drop her off at the doors, whether it be her work, Costco, Walmart or the mall, be a gentleman and give her door to door service.” The wife said - “Don't forget to leave your credit card.” The wife said - “When I talk to him, he can't hear me anyways.” The husband said - “Good, good.” The husband said - “Always kiss her goodnight.” The wife said - “And don't forget the morning.” There were many more priceless quotes, hearing these two couples describe their experiences that summed a total of over 100 years of marriage. My favorite wasn't a celebrity or TV quote, but was from a couple who had actually lived through 50 years of marriage and were still smiling …. “The grass isn't greener on the other side, it’s greener where you water it!”
By Linda Wegner I've played the piano in the advanced dementia unit of our local seniors' home for years and it's become one of my favourite places to tickle the ivories. Residents sometimes stare blankly but a closer look may reveal toes or fingers that, ever so faintly, beat out the rhythm. Other times, a shadow of recognition flits across a face, followed by the tremble of lips seeking desperately to connect with those long-lost words. A recently completed beautiful new seniors' facility boasts an expanded and light-filled area for the hymn sing. Last week it was packed

Indifference equals complicity Perhaps you have seen the news reports or the internet videos of Planned Parenthood executives apparently negotiating over the sale of body parts from aborted human babies. The reaction to these revelations has been almost universally negative, and rightly so. What could be more barbaric than the sale of human arms, legs, livers or lungs? And especially when those are parts of babies, prematurely torn from their mothers' wombs! We're more civilized than that, aren't we? Unfortunately, when the evidence is considered, we may not be so civilized after all. We let the slaughter of infants go on right under our noses, seemingly agreeing with the pro-choice propaganda that abortions do not remove babies, they remove tissue. We seemingly accept that as long as a baby is in the womb it is not really a baby at all; out of sight, out of mind. And when that "tissue" is "harvested", we seem quite content to let it happen as long as we are not confronted with gruesome images of mutilated babies, or videos of executives talking about selling body parts. "Out of sight, out of mind" seems to be our mantra. As long as we accept the sanitized pro-choice euphemisms for what is actually happening, we can continue our lives undisturbed. That's the problem though. These videos have brought what is out of sight into the light. We are faced with the reality that when abortions occur, doctors are not merely removing tissue. They are forcefully tearing tiny human beings from what ought to be the safest place on earth. And what festers in our collective ethos is not only that human body parts are being sold, but also that people were murdered to supply those body parts, and we as a society have sanctioned and subsidized all of it. We have even awarded one of abortion's most outspoken advocates with the Order of Canada! You might protest that you do not support abortion at all. Maybe so, but is your outrage reserved for macabre negotiations for human organs over Caesar salad, or does it extend to the systematic, sanitized murder of 65,000 Canadian babies every year? That's the reality we are dealing with! While the murder of one would be a tragedy, the murder of thousands ought to be unthinkable. Perhaps these videos will cause us to think about the unthinkable, and realize that when we witness a holocaust of the unborn, indifference equals complicity. While we value our tolerant society, we must be careful that our tolerance does not become our indifference, and that our indifference does not become our indictment. Pastor Harley Porter, Gospel of Grace Fellowship

with residents of all levels of care plus numbers of visiting friends and families. As I began, a staff member wheeled in one last attendee. I'd never seen this resident before, don't know his name but for the purpose of this article, I'll call him Gregory. I'm not sure what first attracted me to Gregory, his missing teeth or his vibrant smile. What I do know is that when he was wheeled into the room, his excitement was all the thanks I could ever wish for. "I can't remember the words," he blurted out, even as his hands directed some far-off choir. Jumbled syllables accompanied the keyboard melody and the smile never faded from his face. "I
wish I could remember the words," he repeated. He was parked immediately beside me, skirting the end of the piano bench and I whispered to him, "don't worry about the words, just enjoy the music". I'll never know if he understood me or not. I was reminded of a profound truth, however: no matter how confusing life gets, how painful the circumstances, nothing is more important than remembering the song. "Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." (Ephesians 5:19)

Southern Glass Works Ltd. donates to Weyburn Wor-Kin Shop Corp. Southern Glass Works Ltd. recently made a donation of $5,000 to the Weyburn Wor-Kin Shop. "We are pleased to be able to give back to the community by supporting a local organization such as Weyburn Wor-Kin Shop Corp. It is fantastic to see them reach their goal and move into their beautiful new building. We wanted to help them purchase some of the equipment needed to furnish the space and benefit the individuals they support," shared General Manager, Ron Anderson. Andria Brady, Executive Director of Weyburn WorKin Shop Corp. stated that the donation will be put towards the purchase of a SMART BoardTM for one of the classrooms in the new building. SMART Boards are widely used in schools as a paperless, interactive white board system. Virtually anyone can use them regardless of physical limitations. The agency recently completed the move of the administration and Day Program operations to their brand new facility located at 1800 Ebel Road. A grand opening is being planned for later this summer so that the public can tour the new building and learn more about the programs and services offered there. Southern Glass Works is a locally-owned and operated manufacturer of PVC windows and doors. The company supplied all the windows in the new Day Program building and the other two warehouses owned by the Weyburn Wor-Kin Shop Corp. Back row (l-r): Andria Brady (Executive Director) and Ron Anderson of Southern Glass Works. Middle row: Sijo Joseph (Direct Support Professional), Angela Cherney (Program Participant), Isaac Neel (Program Participant), Rajeev Kochuveedu Unni (Direct Support Professional), Melvin Degenstein (Program Participant) and Jeanette Frederick (Program Participant).

Has that car been in a crash? TURKEY DINNER Before buying a used vehicle, every consumer should check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and research the history of the vehicle they are about to buy. It doesn't matter if the vehicle is from a private seller or a licensed motor dealer, researching the history of a vehicle may provide the buyer with critical information like crash history that could affect their decision to buy. The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA) urges all consumers to use SGI's online VIN search tool. It's free, fast and easy to use. Users can research the history of vehicles that were previously registered in S a s k a t c h e w a n , www.sgi.sk.ca/online_ s e r vices/vin/vin-faq.html. Vehicles may have been damaged by previous crashes, flooding or other incidents and repairs made to the vehicle may only be cosmetic and the vehicle may not actually be road worthy. A Saskatchewan VIN search can tell consumers: • If the PST is payable; • Its most recent Saskatchewan registration expiry date; • Its damage claims history in
Saskatchewan since Nov. 1, 2002. Consumers can also do a VIN search with: • Cross-Canada Search: w w w . s g i . s k . c a / online_ser vices/issuer/ crosscanadavinsearch.html; • RCMP VIN Search: www.app.cpic-cipc.ca/English/searchformvin.cfm; or • Commercial suppliers who offer VIN search services for a fee (i.e. Carfax or carproof.)www.carfax.com/ and www.carproof.com.
The Consumer Protection Division does not regulate private vehicle deals but if consumers have purchased a used vehicle from a licensed motor dealer and they are having problems, they can contact us for advice on how to proceed with filing a complaint or seek remedy to their problem. For more information contact the Consumer Protection Division toll free at 1-877-8805550 or by email: consumer protection@gov.sk.ca.

Rain delays haying Haying continues in the province. Livestock producers now have 54 per cent of the hay crop baled or put into silage, with an additional 18 per cent cut and ready for baling, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture's weekly Crop Report. Rain showers have delayed haying in some areas. Hay quality is currently rated as two per cent excellent, 52 per cent good, 38 per cent fair and eight per cent poor. Hay yields on dry land are well below the five year average (2010-2014). Average hay yields on dry land are estimated to be 0.8 ton per acre for alfalfa, 0.9 ton per acre for alfalfa/brome hay, 0.7 ton per acre for both other tame hay and wild hay, and 1.3 tons per acre for greenfeed. On irrigated land, average hay yields are estimated to be 2.2 tons per acre for alfalfa and alfalfa/ brome hay, 2.5 tons per acre for other tame hay, 1.9 tons per acre for wild hay, and 3.1 tons per acre for greenfeed. The Ministry of Agriculture has a Forage, Feed and Custom Service listing for producers to advertise and source feed products. It is available at www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca/ FeedForageListing. Much of the province received rain last week that has helped alleviate moisture stress in some regions. Rainfall ranged from small amounts to several inches. Topsoil moisture conditions have slightly improved in many areas. Provincially, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as two per cent surplus, 52 per cent adequate, 33 per cent short and 13 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as one per cent surplus, 36 per cent adequate, 43 per cent short and 20 per cent very short. Sixty-six per cent of fall cereals, 68 per cent of spring cereals, 64 per cent of oilseeds and 63 per cent of pulse crops are at their normal stages of development for this time of year. Crops are ripening quickly, although the majority remain in poor-to-good condition. Lack of moisture and insects such as grasshoppers and aphids have caused the most crop damage this week. Farmers are busy cutting hay, controlling pests and readying harvest equipment.

Wheatland Senior Centre news
Midale man wins $2 million Because he was born in a Year of the Rabbit, Andrew Mok's wife told him his horoscope said he would have good luck in 2015. So, the Midale man started playing WESTERN 649 twice a week. On the July 11 draw, he won $2 million. "I used to buy lottery tickets two times a month, he said. I like all different kinds of lottery games, but now I always buy WESTERN 649 for both draws each week." The Midale resident picked up his winning ticket at the Midale Qwik Stop at 105 Stephan Street. "I thought I won $200 at first, and that was great, he said. Then the retailer checked and told me, it's more than $200. You won $200,000; no, it's $2 million!" "I just started to smile, he said. My heart started beating very, very fast. I tried to calm myself down. I didn't want to get too excited! Mok has a few ideas for his windfall. "I don't want to go crazy, he said. I'm going to put most of it in the bank, pay off a loan, and buy some investments. After I do that, I'm going to remodel my restaurant." The new winner also plans to take a vacation to visit family members in China and Hong Kong.

Wolbaum appointed to Housing Authority Gloria Wolbaum has been appointed to the Francis Housing Authority Board of Directors. Other members of the board of directors are Linda Klein, Ellen Wiggins, Marlene Gutzke and Patrick Klein. Klein is chairperson. The Francis Housing Authority is a community-based organization that provides daily management of six housing units constructed and operated under the terms of a federal provincial municipal cost sharing agreement. Social Services Minister, Donna Harpauer, paid tribute to the volunteers who manage the social housing projects in their community. "This local hands-on approach ensures that the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation responds effectively to the needs of each community." Saskatchewan has a network of 260 housing authorities and more than 1,400 volunteer members who assist with management of housing units throughout the province for seniors, low income families and persons with disabilities. Persons interested in volunteering to serve on the board of directors for the Francis Housing Authority are encouraged to contact the mayor of Francis. A local nominating committee recommends board members.

Silver Seals compete at provincials 136 RAILWAY AVE., WEYBURN • (306) 842-3395
(306) 897-7499 • www.pursuitsc.com Never before in my life have I hoped a head coach is wrong more than I do right now. Prior to Sunday's home game against Hamilton, Roughriders coach Corey Chamblin told his team in his pregame speech, "This will determine what type of team you're gonna be for the rest of the season!" TSN cameras caught the address and the commentators noted how fiery Chamblin was in his talk. The club then proceeded to blow a 21-17 lead in the fourth quarter and lose 31-21 for its fifth consecutive defeat to open the 2015 CFL season. 0-5. Of course to make matters worse, quarterback Kevin Glenn got injured making a tackle on an interception he threw at the end of the third quarter and was unable to finish the game. His status is now in question for this Friday's game at the division-leading Edmonton Eskimos. Initially, the inkling is that this season is a write-off and we haven't even hit August yet. Upon my return home after the game, my wife asked, "So are we eliminated from the playoffs?" And the answer to that question provided the one slim glimmer of hope the team has at this point. No, they are not eliminated from the playoffs and there are still 13 games to go. In my first season calling games in 1999, when the club finished 3-15, the Riders were miraculously in the playoff picture right down to the final weekend. But something needs to change with this team immediately. There's one bullet left in the gun and should they falter at Commonwealth Stadium this upcoming weekend, it would be tough to convince even the most-optimistic of fans - or even the players - that this season can be saved. Defense cost Saskatchewan the Hamilton game. Just like all of their games so far this year. Chamblin, the club's defacto defensive coordinator, tweaked their approach and applied considerably more pressure against the Ticats on Sunday than we've seen all season. But the result was the same. "Just like you say, we brought the heat," Chamblin said after the game. "We got after (Ticats QB Zach Collaros) and did everything we could. That's football and we couldn't keep them out of the endzone. The thing we can't do is quit, no matter what. This is one of the toughest situations they'll ever be in but we have to fight another day." Amidst all of Chamblin's postgame quotes, that was the kernel which stuck out to me. "We couldn't keep them out of the endzone." So the time has come for Chamblin to relinquish the duty of calling defensive plays and hand it over to Greg Quick, the man whose business card actually says "Defensive Coordinator". The facts are staring the Roughriders right in the face. What they've been doing simply isn't working. There have been promises all season long but they've come up empty each and every week. It's come to this. Receiver Weston Dressler has emerged as the leader of this football club in the absence of injured quarterback Darian Durant and even he has run out of answers. "It's getting harder and harder to talk to you guys," Dressler told us on CKRM's postgame radio show. "Coach told us to remember this day. We're at the bottom and have nowhere to go but up." That part is likely true. And it was so sad to see most of the 31,683 fans in attendance on Sunday head to the exits with 1:41 remaining. There was so much hope in their faces all game long, but it is quickly evaporating. "You never want to see people leaving early when there's still time on the clock. It's tough," Dressler continued. "If we had the answers we'd be winning games instead of losing them." That was the toughest part to digest. The Riders don't have the answers and if they don't, who does? It's time to try something different, before it's too late. The clock has started ticking on Corey Chamblin's mostly successful time in Saskatchewan and no doubt there will be plenty of calls for his dismissal between now and Friday. But that, assuredly, won't happen. "I think, no matter what, through social media the players are gonna read (speculation on his future) and they shouldn't be worried about my future," Chamblin said calmly. "They should be worried about theirs. My mindset is the guys in that room. As long as I'm here, that'll be my focus; to get wins for the guys in that locker room." For the last couple of weeks Chamblin has sounded like a dead man walking and it's clear the team is down to its last out. But they're not giving up. They can't. Not yet. "It's gonna be a heckuva ride when we pull out of this thing," Dressler concluded. It has to start Friday night.
