‘Raise the Woof’ is a success for Humane Society

he “Raise the Woof” fundraising event for the Weyburn Humane Society is being considered a huge success, with just under $15,000 raised for a new animal shelter. “We had less people at the event this year, but that was because we had arranged the tables so that everyone had more room,” said Pam Arndt-Schick, president of the Weyburn Humane Society. Entertainment was comedians Lamont Ferguson, Travis Nelson and Adam Lejewski. “It was a very good event, everyone enjoyed the comedians throughout the evening.” The “Raise the Woof” fundraiser helps the Weyburn Humane Society support the goal of building a new animal shelter. Arndt-Schick said that they are still in the beginning stages for their new shelter and are currently looking for land. “We have a few leads.” The current animal shelter, located at 57 16th Street by the Fire Station, has limited space for the Humane Society. Right now, the Humane Society is overcapacity with cats. “We are currently offering a cat sale,

PARKING ETIQUETTE IS A PLUS

There are many Christmas events scheduled for the upcoming month. One thing that I have noted is that a little parking etiquette during community events could make every experience a better one. Sabrina Kraft production@weyburnreview.com

spect for other drivers looking for that perfect parking space. Just remember that a little etiquette goes a long way when it comes to parking. We also see this problem at Crescent Point Place during any Red Wings game, with people parking in a way that could inconvenience the drivers around them. I have even noticed the few situations when there are three rows of parking — making it impossible for the car in the middle row to move, unless those in front or behind leave first. I have been in the situation of being one of those middle cars. I had arrived early to the rink, since there was an autograph signing opportunity. Then I stayed for the first period to get my action pictures. When I went to leave for home, my car was inaccessible since there was a person who had parked in front of me and one who had parked behind me. My only solution was to get a cab home (at that time, I wasn’t living just up the block) and return for my car in the morning. I have also heard concerns of people who live in these high parking areas who get their driveways blocked or are unable to park their own vehicles. We all need to be considerate when it comes to parking, just like we all need to be considerate when we are on the road. Take time to consider the vehicles around you and if your vehicle is placed in a position that would inconvenience another person. Also remember that sometimes taking a parking spot that is a little walking distance away from your chosen destination helps keep closer spots open for those with mobility issues.

nyone who has attended a community event at the new Cugnet Centre in the Weyburn Comp has likely experienced the parking difficulties, especially when it is a very popular event (like the most recent fowl supper). There are plans to expand the parking lot, but this will take several years as first the Junior High staff and students have to be relocated to the Comp, then the former Junior High has to be demolished and a new elementary school will be constructed. Only once Queen Elizabeth staff and students are relocated into the new elementary school will there be room to expand the parking lot. So in the meantime, we all must do our part to be considerate of the parking restrictions. Seriously, I have seen people park their vehicles at the edge of the driving circle — which results in a tighter area for those who need to utilize the driving circle, or those who need to back up out of a parking space. There are many Christmas events scheduled for the upcoming months, and many of them have limited parking available. Also, with residents doing Christmas shopping throughout the month, there are many businesses that get packed parking lots. It is always frustrating to run into a situation when someone is parked improperly. Often, in our hurry to get into the store to pick up a few things before heading home, or in the throes of holiday shopping, we disregard courtesy and re-

Dear Ellen

Dear Ellen My 15 year old daughter has being treated horribly online by her classmates. I don’t know the full extent of what is going on, but she has shown me some of the terrible things people are writing about her. She is starting to become very withdrawn. What can I do to help her? Signed Faith. Dear Faith Cyberviolence is a real issue that many youth experience. It evolves rapidly as technology grows and can be challenging to navigate. Since technology

is such an important part of our everyday lives, it is no longer a matter of logging off. Every case is individual, but some general advice is to not react or retaliate to hurtful messages, block the sender, print out/keep the evidence in case it is needed in the future. The most important thing is to talk to your daughter about what she is going through and let her know that you are there for her. It is vital to let your daughter know that you will not judge her decisions and that she will not get into trouble for what she

tells you. Most kids are scared to tell someone about what is happening online because they don’t want to get into trouble for their role in the situation. Understanding what is happening and knowing that it is not okay is helpful for processing the situation. Work with your daughter to resolve the conflicts online and provide her with tools to help her strengthen the self-confidence that may have been lost and restore her sense of physical and/or emotional safety. It is important to note

that there are no quick fixes for cyberviolence but educating yourself and your daughter about the dangers online may be helpful to learn from past experiences, gain resilience and regain dignity that may have be lost. Being present, and listening to what your daughter has to say is key for healing. Dear Ellen My 16 year old son is acting out a lot at school and at home and doesn’t listen to anything I say. He stays out late with the “wrong crowd”. I am at my wit’s end and not sure what to

do. No consequences seem to work and he won’t help with anything around the house. What can I do? Signed Diana. Dear Diana Adolescence can be a trying time for both parents and teens, as it is a time of growing independence, self-discovery, rapid changes and identity exploring. Teens are often searching for a sense of self and control over their lives. Firm, consistent boundaries are what a teen needs as they are going through this exploration. If consistent boundaries are lacking,

the teen may feel justified in pushing back against the stifling (as he searches for that control) or he may decide the boundaries are not serious and he can do whatever he wants. It can be helpful to look at parenting styles and what works for you and what doesn’t. Inner control and self-discipline are big parts of the life skills important for teens. Family counselling and/or individual counselling is available for you to meet your specific needs and look at goals you would like to set to move forward.

Gift-Wrapped

Diary from the Ice

By John Smith, minister for the Church of Christ in Weyburn One of the best activities at Christmas is wrapping gifts. But wrapping presents is somewhat giving way to gift bags which are earth friendly because they are re-usable. But you still have to hide what’s in the bag with a bunch of tissue paper or something because of prying eyes, so how earth-friendly is that?! I still prefer the traditional wrapping of gifts. In fact, I particularly enjoy using multiple layers of wrap, starting with newspapers. My favorite is to put a small gift in a series of nested boxes so that at first it looks like I’m giving someone a microwave oven when, in fact, it ends up being a wrist watch. It’s also my practice to tape every edge of the final wrap layer so that there is no loose paper to lift and peek into. Sometimes I forget to put a tag on the gifts before they go in the family stash but everyone recognizes (with a groan) which gifts are from me. One would think I care more about the wrapping than the gifts themselves. That’s not quite true. Then there’s the greatest gift of all, our Savior Jesus. This present, too, came wrapped in several layers. First there was the womb of a young maiden. God could have sent His Son to this earth in any number of miraculous ways but He chose to have a child conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary. Then the gift was ‘veiled in flesh’, as one of the carols describes it. Jesus was not some disembodied spirit or a mere apparition. He was clothed in human flesh as an actual human baby. He came from the womb in the same way we are all born in our human bodies. After that came the swaddling clothes part of the wrap. The King of Kings and Lord of Lords did not come wearing an elegant robe or an ornate crown but strips of common cloth. And then He was presented to us in the manger, a feed trough for animals. The gift of God’s Son, so precious to us, came wrapped in all these amazing layers. But the most important part of God’s giftwrapping was His great love. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). You can’t get any more earth-friendly with your gift-wrapping than that!

Sounds of the Season

Written by the Jensen Hammer of the Southern Range Gold Wings

Hello my name is Jensen Hammer and I’m a Grade 12 student. I’m originally from Moose Jaw and this is my third year playing with the Southern Range Gold Wings. Through hard work on and off the ice we have achieved a five game winning streak. Our goal for this month was to score as many goals possible, and maintain a one goal against game. When we faced Notre Dame Hounds in Wilcox, our first period was slow and the score was tied 2-2. Throughout the game we supported each other and won the game 6-3. The next game was crucial, The Regina Rebels. We traveled to Regina knowing that they were ahead of us in the standings. All that mattered was that we needed to play our game and be mentally prepared. The score was tied 0-0 going into the second. The game got aggressive, but we adjusted very well. We started to put the puck in the net half way through the second period. The score was 6-1, another win for the Gold Wings. A week of practice and we headed to North Battleford to face the Sharks. We have previously beat the Sharks in Weyburn back in October and we knew their strengths and weaknesses, so we took advantage of that. We came out strong against Battleford on November 28, but we had some weak plays in the neutral zone in the first period. We pushed through with positive attitudes and won the game 4-1. The second game of the road trip is always the hardest. We watched video that was taped during our first game to see what we needed to improve on for the November 29 game. We knew what we were getting into, so we were fully prepared. We came out strong and played the game we were all capable of playing. Nothing stopped us from playing our game and that’s the reason why the outcome of the game was 9-0. Another win for the Gold Wings! The Gold Wings will be working hard this week to prepare our float for the Festival of Lights on Thursday Dec. 3. This will be the second year that the Gold Wings have been a part of this great event and this year we are excited to partner with Swayze’s concrete to bring a show stopping, light spectacular, one of a kind float! We were at the WCS Fall Supper on Tuesday evening, where the Esso Cup committee had a table set up so folks could pick up their Esso Cup ticket packages just in time for Christmas! There will be another table set up at the Prairie Sky Co-op grocery story on Saturday Dec 5th, with ticket packages available for purchase. Ticket packages are $60 which gives you entrance to 19 games! Our team will be assisting the cashiers and customers in packing their groceries and helping out where needed. We encourage you to come out and let us help you and give us the chance to get to know the community members. The Gold Wings next game is when Prince Albert Bears visit Weyburn on Saturday, December 5 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, December 6 at 2 p.m.! We will be dropping tickets off at the schools this week so that each student will receive a ticket for free student admission to either of our home games this weekend. Hope to see everyone out!

By Linda Wegner Heralding the Christmas season are sounds: there’s the chatter, verbal and scripted, of approaching craft sales; schools, service organizations, local business groups as well individual entrepreneurs post signs, print ads and broadcast their events. Radio announcers promote upcoming sales and shopping. Even the unusually chilly weather, at least unusually chilly for us thin-skinned West Coast residents, has produced a harmony of Christmas sounds: the multi-part harmony of crunch under shoes on the asphalt track; the rhythmic drip of rain drops on the back deck and the smash of waves on the shore during a winter storm. Last week I heard strains of music in our local mall. Music proclaiming the season had arrived. Music declaring the news of the longago arrival of a baby boy.

Music reminding me that He is still the basis of my strength and hope. The music of Christmas and our much anticipated annual Carols by Candlelight gala. Ah the beauty of the sounds of the season. Harking back to Bethlehem, angels first announced his birth. They mouthed words of peace when the shepherds were greatly afraid. They provided responses to unspoken questions and reassurance in terrifying confusion. After all, it isn’t everyday a despised shepherd gets to welcome a Messiah; that privilege reputedly belongs to the learned and the mighty. It was after those keepers of the flock heard gentle words of a promise fulfilled that the explosion was released for it was then that a lone messenger-angel was joined by a multitude of angelic envoys. “Glory to God in the highest,” they belted

out. “Glory to God!”. And if that wasn’t enough, to a conflict-weary world, the words were added: “And upon earth peace, among men — good will.” (Luke 2:14-Young’s Literal Translation). How desperately we need God’s intended sounds for Christmas: songs of praise intermingled with demonstrated peace.

Nearly 40 per cent of Canadians didn’t have enough money to cover household expenses at least once in the last 12 months, according to results of a new survey that suggests housing costs are putting increased pressure on homeowners’ finances. A debt survey released by Manulife Bank of Canada on Thursday, showed 38 per cent of respondents were “caught short” in the past year and had to cover expenses by accessing a line of credit, borrowing on a high interest credit card or borrowing money from a family member. “The challenge faced by many Canadians is that their income is relatively stable from month-tomonth, but their expenses can vary significantly,” said Rick Lunny, CEO and President of Manulife Bank of Canada. While many Canadians

have scrambled to pay the bills, the survey showed 73 per cent of homeowners say they would be able to handle unexpected costs, such as a furnace replacement or car repair. However, the level of Canadians’ “rainy-day” savings suggests they may be less prepared than they think to deal with an emergency. Fewer than one in four homeowners have more than $5,000 set aside for an emergency, while about half of those surveyed indicated they either have $1,000 or less, or didn’t know how much money they had set aside for emergencies. “About 70 per cent of Canadians are saying they feel prepared to meet those expenses, but in reality, they’re not,” said Jason Daly, Manulife’s vice president of product, marketing and business development.

Daly said the “unaffordability” of housing in some communities is putting a strain on household expenses. He said, without a financial contingency in place, such as a savings fund or access to a low-cost credit line, some homeowners are turning to pricier ways to deal with unexpected costs, including high-interest credit cards or payday loans. The survey showed 38 per cent of homeowners feel that their local housing market is unaffordable, while two of three homeowners expect housing prices to increase over the next year. The perception of housing affordability varies greatly throughout Canada. In the Atlantic provinces, 83 per cent of homeowners feel housing is affordable, but in British Columbia, only 39 per cent of homeowners feel the same way.

SGI changes its Safe Driver program

Government has approved a number of recommendations put forward by Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) for changes to its Safe Driver Recognition program. The changes are in response to customer input and analysis undertaken by SGI over the past few years. “Throughout the review of the Safe Driver Recognition program, there was a common theme we kept hearing — safe drivers deserve higher rewards and risky drivers deserve tougher penalties,” said Don McMorris, Minister responsible for SGI. “Well, you asked and we listened. The changes increase vehicle insurance discounts for the safest drivers and toughen penalties for unsafe driving.” Changes are: the safety rating scale will grow to +25, allowing the safest drivers to earn a discount on basic vehicle insurance of up to 25 per cent. Financial penalties will double from $25 to $50 per point for drivers in the penalty zone.

All manually-enforced speeding convictions will result in loss of points under the program. All at-fault collisions will result in loss of points, but the program will take the seriousness of a collision into consideration. Drivers who cause collisions with claim payouts under $700 will lose four points. Those who cause collisions with claim payouts of $700 or more will lose six points. The changes will be implemented mid-2016, following regulatory changes. The Safe Driver Recognition program was created in 2002 to recognize drivers with good driving records and give them some added incentive to keep their records safe, while offering a deterrent to those with unsafe driving habits. Drivers with good records are rewarded with discounts on their basic vehicle insurance, while high-risk drivers pay more. For more information about the Safe Driver Recognition program changes, visit SGI’s website at www.sgi.sk.ca.

We feel no guilt in laughter, She knows how much we care; We feel no sorrow in a smile, That she’s not here to share. We cannot grieve forever, She would not want us to; She’d hope that we would carry on, The way we always do. We talk about the good times, And the ways we showed we cared; The days we spent together, And all the happiness we shared. We let memories surround us, A word someone will say; Will suddenly recapture, A time, an hour, a day. That brings her back so clearly, As though she were still here; And fills us all with the feeling, That she is always near. For if we keep those moments, We will never be apart; For she will live forever, Locked safe within our hearts. —Lovingly remembered and missed by Mom, Dad and Mike. **48/48

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you can be quite generous when you choose to be, but sometimes you can overlook the needs of others. Pay as much attention to others’ needs as possible this week. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Little things influence how others look at you, Taurus, so make sure you get all of your ducks in a row -- especially at work. Focus on some finer details. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 You may not be in a practical mood this week, Gemini. Fortunately for you, there isn’t much of importance that needs to be done, so you are free to let loose a little bit. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 This isn’t a week to take a walk down Memory Lane, Cancer. Focus on the future rather than getting lost in nostalgia. However, let your past guide your actions a bit. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, your calendar is filling up quickly, but you cannot add any days to the calendar. Divide your responsibilities so you can better handle everything on your slate. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Ambivalence will get you nowhere fast, Virgo. It can be difficult to make decisions, but that’s something you have to do this week. Once you do, you can forge ahead. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you are capable of making intelligent, objective decisions. Expect to find yourself with a growing list of new friends who want your advice. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Now is not the time to begin a new project, Scorpio. Rather, keep a low profile and finish up any tasks that you did not get to finish last week. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, it’s difficult to get a good read on any associates or friends, which could impact your plans moving forward. You may need to make a few assumptions and back track later. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, right now all you can think about is your career and your financial future. That’s okay because you’ve been meaning to give more thought to your finances and how to proceed. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you may feel yourself pulled in two different directions this week. There’s a part of you that is focused on home, and another that knows work beckons. Find a balance. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 It may seem like getting others to open up is a struggle this week. Find a way to communicate as best you can, Pisces.

A Memorial Angel may be purchased in memory of your loved one for placement on the Memorial Tree. Each memorial is Five dollars ($5.00) with all proceeds going to support Weyburn’s Family Place.

‘The Hurt’ to battle ‘Nyquil’ in title fight

Prestige FC’s first title fight has been set as Kurt “The Hurt” Southern will battle Nick “Nyquil” Rhoads for the belt at Prestige FC 2: Queen City Coronation. Their featherweight championship fight tops the card that will take place on Saturday, March 12th in Regina — the ‘Queen City’ — and capital of Saskatchewan. The event will air live on The Fight Network as well as Saskatchewan’s Access 7. Rhoads (8-2) rides a five-fight winning streak into the showdown highlighted by a first-round TKO finish of Thomas Schulte. A native of Tucson, Arizona, who is under the tutelage of MMA icon Thomas “Wildman” Denny, Rhoads’ record boasts four victories coming via submission. Southern (14-6) enters the title fight coming off a highly successful debut in the featherweight division as he notched a first-round tapout win and Submission of the Night honors by besting Daniel Swain at Prestige FC 1 in October. With the submission verdict, Southern, who is from Saskatoon, vaulted up the Fight Matrix ranking, becoming the numberone ranked featherweight in Canada and inside the world’s top 100. Southern boasts notable career wins over Mukai Maromo, Jonatas Novaes,

and Brad Cardinal. “This is a fantastic matchup and certainly befitting of being the inaugural title fight in our history,” said Cord Crowthers, CEO and Matchmaker of Prestige FC. “Kurt Southern has quickly become a force to be reckoned with at 145 pounds and Nick Rhoads is fast-rising talent on a hot streak. Both guys wasted

no time in agreeing to the fight which proves they are very confident in their abilities,” said Crowthers. “They are type of fighters that Prestige FC wants and they are very worthy of squaring off for the belt.” More bouts will be added to the Prestige FC 2 very shortly as fighters from across Canada and the United States have stepped up to express major interest

in being part of the event. Another fan favourite, Charmaine “Not So Sweet” Tweet, will also be featured during the evening in a featherweight fight. In an exciting middleweight, Devon “Mr. Boomtruck” Smith will tangle with American invader Keith “The Banana” Smetana in a featured main-card bout. Smith (3-1) is originally

from La Ronge and now fights out of Lethbridge, Alberta. The 27-year-old has won three straight with a total combined time of only 4:33. Two of the victories have come via submission and one by knockout. Smetana (10-6, 1 NC) has won three of his last four outings and has finished his opponents in all 10 of his victories. The

31-year-old, who fights out of Parkersburg, West Virginia, has notched eight first-round wins. Already slated for the card are two of Canada’s top prospects bantamweight Brad Katona and welterweight Mariusz Ksiazkiewicz, both out of Winnipeg, Manitoba. An advance sale of VIP Tables and General Admission tickets is under way.

The Southern Range Gold Wings will be at Prairie Sky Co-op on December 5.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2015

Sportsman Den by Conservation Officer Lindsey Leko

I recently talked with a meat cutter who is seeing some really bad handling of big game meat that comes into his shop. Temperature of the meat when field dressing it will not be much of an issue now that it is getting cold. He has asked me to remind you all of a couple of things that you should all be aware of when taking care of your wild meat prior to it getting home or to a meat cutter. Meat cutters have to follow certain guidelines and may not accept meat that could threaten the operation of their meat shop. 1. Make sure that you keep your meat cool with lots of circulation to ensure it stays cool. Bacteria that cause foodborne illnesses will flourish in warm temperatures. For this reason it is a good idea not to store your deer in a trunk or any other area where there is no air circulation. 2. Make sure you have a small rope or elastic band to tie off the bung when removing the penis and anus of the deer. Doing this will ensure that no feces or urine will make contact with any of the meat. Any urine or feces that makes contact with the meat should be wiped down as soon as possible. 3. Make sure that you do not cut the gut if at all possible as there is bacteria in the gut that can cause food borne illness. 4. Make sure that your knives are sharp and clean knives often with warm soapy water … then rinse to prevent the spreading of harmful bacteria. 5. Wipe down the carcass and remove any hair, dirt, or debris 6. Make sure that the carcass is dry before you transport. 7. For those of you who debone your meat, make sure that you do not transport your deboned meat in the black garbage bags. The majority of garbage bags on the market now come with a bacteria killing film, or some type of chemical that destroys odors or other bacteria. Some butcher shops have bags available to transport meat that are not tainted with any chemicals. 8. Officers see many hunters who take great pride in field dressing their deer, but then throw it in the back of a farm truck that has lubricants, oils and diesel laying in the box. Guess where those toxins from the lubricants go? Right onto your meat. Hopefully these guidelines will help you in your field dressing operations. Seeeing that hunting season is just a couple of days away, we have been getting lots of questions from hunters that they want answers to before they go out just to be safe. There seems to be quite a bit of confusion with regards to hunting coyotes and big game at the same time. Can I hunt coyotes while hunting deer? Yes, not a problem. You can carry a .270, and a .22-250 for coyotes, just make sure that you do not get the two firearms mixed up. What you have to keep in mind is that no person who is only hunting coyotes can accompany a person who is hunting big game. This means that you cannot even be in the same vehicle. Can I wear one of those oilfield/ construction high visibility vests while hunting big game? Great question as this is still a fairly new change. Last year there were pictures of some of the

We need

allowed vests or coats that you could wear during a big game rifle season in the hunting guide. I am not sure if they are in this years though. The regulations state that a high visibility garment carrying the CSA(Canadian Standards Association) label Z96- 02, 09 or 15 may be worn. The vest can be a single colour or any combination of the allowed colours. In addition to a vest of the standard colour options, hunters will now be able to wear the high visibility safety vests or jackets that are widely used in the construction industry. These garments are typically bright green-yellow with the reflective bands. All below are examples of reflective vests that are allowed I want to take a picture of my deer that I harvested but do not want to do it with the tags on it. Is there a way that it can be done? The legislation in place now states that the animal must be immediately tagged after it is harvested. I understand the desire to take a photo without the tags and because of that I as an officer am OK with it. Back in the ol’ days with the sticky back seals, some did not like to put the tags on prior to field dressing the animals because it sometimes made the seals not stick because they were dirty. Now the seals can be attached with string, or zip ties. That being said at the bare minimum I would want the tags separated and notched to make them cancelled prior to taking the photo. The key message here is making sure that the tags are cancelled so they cannot be re-used. The tags should be properly attached to the antlers, ribs and leg once the animal hits that back of the truck. If you are stopped leaving the field with a deer that has no tags on it further action may be taken. The antler seal has to remain on the animal until March 31 of next year. One other good piece of advice to all hunters is to make sure that they mark on the tags with a sharpie the species that that particular tag is good for. This way you will not put an antlerless mule deer tag , or draw moose tag on your white tail animal. Does the 500m restriction for shooting around occupied buildings or corals apply even if I am aiming at a deer away from the house? This is a simply safety violation that hunters must keep in mind when hunting. It does not matter where the deer is in relation to the residence. The 500m restriction is applied as a 500m radius from where you are standing. If you are shooting south at a deer, and there is a house 300m behind you to the north, then you are in violation. If you are facing west and shooting west and you passed a house 25m ago.. then you are in violation even though you are not aiming towards the residence. It should be noted that the legislation does not only apply to shooting, it applies to hunting. So this means that even if you are walking a hedgerow looking for pheasants and you have not fired a shot yet, you are still in violation because you are HUNTING within 500m of an occupied dwelling or coral. If you are carrying a firearm in a place where there is wildlife, then you are hunting regardless of whether or not you pull the trigger. Well that should do it for now as I have taken away enough advertising space. Should have a bunch of new questions for next week. Until then … stay safe.

Great exercise! Permanent and relief

Jesse Ross and Tyler Borstmayer

Two former Red Wings are helping Huskies lead Canada West

Right now, the University of Saskatchewan Huskies are placed on top of the Canada West Conference of the CIS. There are two former Weyburn Red Wing players who currently playing with the Huskies, Jesse Ross and Tyler Borstmayer. Jesse Ross was a scoring champ for the Red Wings in 2011-2012. He is in his senior year with the Huskies. As of the end of November, Ross has four goals, four assists while playing in all 16 games. “We are playing with a lot of confidence right now,” said Jesse Ross, in a recent media release written by the SJHL. “Game in and game out, we keep playing the same way, which is forcing teams to try and match the level of our game.” “We just have to make sure we continue to work hard and the bounces will keep going our way.” The Regina product spent most of his 18-yearold season in Junior ‘B’ with Pilot Butte of the Prairie Junior Hockey League. He wasn’t a fulltime Red Wing until 19. As an SJHL rookie, Ross scored 27-goals, before nearly doubling that as a 20-year-old, leading the SJHL with 46-goals in 2011-2012.

“My time spent in Weyburn was some of the best hockey years in my career. My whole final year was a lot of fun, finishing first in the south, our playoff run, making the finals, winning the scoring race and being named SJHL Player of the Year, all created a ton of memories. The whole town came together to support us and it was great bringing them so much excitement.” Ross added that his time in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League gave him the foundation and tools he needed to adjust to life in the CIS, playing against men. He says the educational side of any hockey scholarship is what most players will use even more than the on-ice development, and feels he’s set up well for the future, both on and off the ice. “I am in my final year of getting a business degree, majoring in finance. After this season is over, my wife and I plan on moving back to Regina and starting our careers. I don’t plan on hanging up the skates completely, so I am hoping I can find a place to play senior and continue playing the game that I love.” D e f e n c e m a n Ty l e r Borstmayer spent parts

of three season in the Western Hockey League before wrapping up his junior career with the Red Wings. Borstmayer has also played in all 16 games for the Huskies, and assisted on three goals during his time on ice. This is the second year for Borstmayer with the Huskies, as he played eight games with the University team in 2014-15. Tyler was also featured in a recent Star Phoenix article, as a “project player” who is panning out for the Huskies team. In that Star Phoenix article, Borstmayer said that all the extra work learning skills with coach Scott Dutertre has been excellent for his development, especially when it comes to improving speed and shooting. Tyler also credited his defenseman partner Dave Stumborg who has been on the D-line with him constantly throughout the season. The experience is helping build his confidence and his career. Right now, the University of Saskatchewan Huskies are on their Christmas break. They will return to action in January, when they play Lethbridge on Friday, January 8 and Saturday, January 9.

Prov. parks makes a new visitation record Saskatchewan’s provincial parks and recreation sites hit a new attendance record of nearly 3.9 million visits in 2015. This is an increase of nearly 125,000 visits over the previous record, which was set in 2013, and is an increase of more than 860,000 visits since 2007. “We are pleased to see a record number of vacationers utilizing our parks in the province,” said Mark Docherty, Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport. “The Government of Saskatchewan recognizes the importance of our prov-

incial parks in relation to the quality of life here. We are committed to investing in park infrastructure to support the current demand and future growth of visitation,” said Docherty. Strong visitation can be attributed in part to the province continuing to provide excellent visitor services and the enhanced capital infrastructure investment. Since 2007, nearly $92 million has been invested in capital projects, including upgrades and maintenance. These projects have provided enhanced

services such as new campgrounds, upgraded washroom and shower facilities and expanded electricity to more campsites. In addition to capital improvements, the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport continues to expand program offerings. T h e S a s k a t c h ewa n Provincial Park system continues to enhance its customer service program, adding express check-in for campers at several locations, an online seasonal camping application process and better supported self-registration stations.

Book review

“Stepping Out from the Shadows: A Guide to Understanding and Healing from Addictions”

by Allan Kehler Published by Your Nickel’s Worth Publishing Review by Shelley A. Leedahl Unhealthy addictions are prevalent in contemporary society, and if you visit any bookstore, you’ll note that books about addictions also fill the shelves. When one who’s experienced the wrath of addiction puts pen to paper, it tends to add weight to the words. Allan Kehler is a Saskatchewan author, addictions counsellor, educator, and presenter, and he’s also struggled with both addictions and mental illness. His book Stepping Out from the Shadows: A Guide to Understanding & Healing from Addictions, is an easy-to-read guide for those struggling with addictions, and for those who love and support them. Kehler names some of the reasons why one might become addicted to a substance or behavior (like compulsive gambling or over-eating). These include a lack of love and nurturing within the home environment, mental illness, peer pressure, or some specific trauma which resulted in suppressed emotions. “The person takes comfort knowing that something exists that will bring them out of their painful reality.” As use escalates, however, a habit that was once a “want” evolves into a “need.” The author also addresses “the face of addiction.” Society may stereotype addicts, as the author confesses he once did. His preconceived notion of an addict-“an older man dressed in torn and dirty clothes … wild and tangled hair … fingers wrapped tightly around a bottle, or a needle protruding from his arm”-made it hard to identify himself as an addict. That notion, he explains, is no longer valid: addiction does not heed age or social status. Kehler backs his text up with statistics. He writes that a U of A psychiatrist and addictions expert discovered “that while seven out of 10 [addicts] continue to be employed, less than 10 percent are actually identified as having addictions.” He also talks about responsibility, and says that while “the disease of addiction isn’t a choice … the behavior is.” “It is the addict who initially chose to pick up the bottle the pill, the joint, the cards, the food, etc.” The

compulsion to continue the destructive behaviour is so strong, he explains, that when one is told to stop “this can sound like being told to stop breathing.” That’s powerful stuff, and it really puts into perspective the vice-grip hold addictions can have on an individual. Kehler asserts that talking and letting people in are key to recovery. In Stepping Out from the Shadows I learned that “Addicts tend to avoid mirrors like the plague because they don’t want to see what they’ve become,” and that addictions may pause emotional growth, so if young people begin drinking heavily at age 15, their emotional age may remain at that age, “even if they stop drinking at 30.” What a frightening thought! This book is well-written, organized, and researched. It offers strong hope for addicts and their loved ones, and the fact that the author has battled and beat his own demons should be highly inspiring to those who feel they will never be happy, healthy and whole again.

“First day of transportation is planned to be December 10, 2015,” the document says. It notes that the exact schedule for transporting refugees has yet to be confirmed. The government is asking interested airlines to provide their availability for each month up to the end of March 2016. The Trudeau government has promised to bring in 10,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year, and another 15,000 in early 2016.

Finishing touches for Young Fellows new garage building

Review Photo 9199 — Greg Nikkel

Young Fellows Club members Rob Stephanson and Duane Walkeden discuss what’s needed as they help put some of the finishing touches on their new garage storage and office building. The building is located at their Christmas tree lot on Second Street behind the Co-op food store. The tree lot just opened for the season on November 28, and will be open through to shortly before Christmas, selling Fraser and balsam fir, white and Meyers spruce tree varieties, with all proceeds going towards Young Fellows Club projects in the community.

ArtVest provides partnership in Sask. Business for the Arts, Canada’s only national charitable organization of business members who support the arts, announced today the fifth cycle of its successful artsVest program in Saskatchewan. The program will again be delivered with funding support from Canadian Heritage in partnership with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport with a provincial investment of $250,000. The program continues to provide free sponsorship development training. New this cycle is the addition of mentorship training. artsVest is a Business for the Arts matching incentive and sponsorship training program designed to spark new business sponsorship of arts and culture. Arts and culture organizations in Saskatchewan can apply for matching incentive grants, which they will have six months to

match with new sponsorships from businesses. “Saskatchewan has a vibrant arts, culture and heritage sector made up of talented and creative individuals and organizations committed to building strategic alliances with Saskatchewan businesses,” said Mark Docherty, Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport. “With Saskatchewan’s renewed investment in artsVest, these partnerships will continue to strengthen the provincial sectors, helping organizations realize their full potential while contributing to our growing economy and our enviable quality of life.” “We are delighted to see Saskatchewan’s arts and culture community access the artsVest program for a fifth year,” said Nichole Anderson, Business for the Arts President and CEO. “We are seeing arts leaders forge important and lasting partnerships

with the business community through the program, and are glad they will have more time to deepen relationships and form new partnerships. I look forward to seeing another year of impressive results!” An example of a successful artsVest Saskatchewan partnership came from Friends of the Broadway Theatre in Saskatoon. Through a partnership with Affinity Credit Union and BullFrog Power, the historic theatre was able to install a solar-powered energy system on the roof, thereby building the reputation of all the corporate partners and the theatre in the community. Saskatchewan was the first province to join with Business for the Arts to offer a provincial program. The first four years of the program saw 160 arts organizations create a total of 743 partnerships between arts and busi-

nesses province-wide, of which 438 are long-term and 475 were first-time partnerships. Matching funds of $1.36 million generated more than $4 million in private sector sponsorship and resulted in an influx of more than $5.3 million to the cultural economy. The goals of artsVest are to leverage public sector dollars to build partnerships with the arts community; stimulate new business investment in the arts; train arts and cultural organizations to approach the business sector with a partnership plan; and showcase what is possible when business invests in the arts. Since the expansion of the program across Canada in 2011, a total of 1,913 partnerships have been created between arts and business, of which 1,181 are long term.

Shooting of WolfCop 2 will start February 2016 Creative Saskatchewan and Cinecoup announced that WolfCop 2 will begin shooting in Saskatchewan in February 2016. Producers Bernie Hernando, Hugh Patterson and Deborah Marks, are thrilled to start filming the sequel to such a well-received, global cult phenomenon. The plan is to deliver a sequel that offers audiences more of what they craved from the original. “Bigger. Badder. Dirtier. Hairier,” said producer Bernie Hernando. “Plus, audiences will be happy to learn that Lowell Dean will return as director and local actors Amy Matysio (“Tina”) and Leo Fafard (“WolfCop”) will reprise their leading roles.” “We’re excited to get the band back together after all this time,” adds Hernando. “Many of the key creatives on the original project were

from Saskatchewan; we considered the initial opportunity to bring a homegrown script to life, a once-in-alifetime experience. Now it’s twice-in-a-lifetime!” “WolfCop is an excellent example of a Saskatchewan film industry success story,” said JP Ellson CEO of Creative Saskatchewan. “We’re pleased to offer financial support to the sequel and look forward to welcoming the production back to our province.” A release date for WolfCop 2 has not been set, but producers hope to screen the finished product as early as summer 2016.

The Recreation Vehicle Service Technician (RVST) is now a designated, apprenticeable trade in Saskatchewan, according to the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade Certification Commission (SATCC). Recreation Vehicle Service Technicians inspect, diagnose, service, repair, replace and overhaul all systems and components on recreation vehicles. This includes exterior and interior components, electrical, plumbing, and propane gas components; appliances, structural frames and towing systems on motor homes, travel trailers, van conversions and licensed towable vehicles. To become an apprentice, a person must have the educational qualifications, skills and aptitude to complete the apprenticeship program successfully, such as a complete Grade 10 transcript, with no modified classes or General

Math. As with all trades, a Grade 12 education is recommended. There are three levels of technical training, each consisting of eight weeks. Each apprenticeship year in the trade requires a total of 1,600 hours of training that includes on the job training and technical training. Tradespersons currently working in the trade will be eligible to write the journeyperson exam as a trades qualifier. Trades qualifiers are those who challenge the exam based on work experience, without completing an apprenticeship. In this trade, a trade qualifier must work 7,200 hours to challenge the exam. A journeyperson is not necessarily required to supervise an apprentice. The SATCC can determine if there is a Senior Qualified Tradesperson with a significant amount of knowledge and workplace experience in the trade to supervise an apprentice.

There will be many schools and community groups which will take part, with two performances, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Quota members will also be taking a silver collection at the door, with proceeds in support of their projects.

Jingle Bells

Title: Jingle Bells, originally titled “One Horse Open Sleigh” Author: James Lord Pierpont (1822-1893) wrote the song in 1857. The song was meant for a Thanksgiving program at a church in Savannah, Georgia where Pierpont was organist. The song was so well accepted that it was again sung on Christmas day and since then became one of the most popular Christmas carols.

Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh O'er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bobtail ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight! Oh! Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh! Hey! Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh!

Silent Night A little bit of history: Christmas Eve 1818. In 1818 the carol “Stille Nacht! Heilige Nacht” was heard for the first time in a village church in Oberndorf, Austria. The congregation at that Midnight Mass in St. Nicholas Church listened as the voices of the assistant pastor, Father Joseph Mohr, and the choir director, Franz Xaver Gruber, rang through the church to the accompaniment of Father Mohr’s guitar. On each of the six verses, the choir repeated the last two lines in four-part harmony. On that Christmas Eve, a song was born that would wing its way into the hearts of people throughout the world. Now translated into hundreds of languages, it is sung by untold millions every December from small chapels in the Andes to great cathedrals in Antwerp and Rome. Though meant for a performance in a church Silent Night was composed for guitar. That is rather unusual for those days.

Silent night, Holy night All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin, mother and child Holy infant, tender and mild Sleep in heavenly peace, Sleep in heavenly peace. Silent night, Holy night Son of God, love's pure light Radiant beams from thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord at thy birth Jesus, Lord at thy birth. Silent night, Holy night Shepherds quake, at the sight Glories stream from heaven above Heavenly, hosts sing Hallelujah. Christ the Savior is born, Christ the Savior is born.

Silver Bells

City sidewalks busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air there is a feeling of Christmas Children laughing People passing Meeting smile after smile And on every street corner you’ll hear Silver bells (silver bells) It’s Christmas time in the city ring- a- ling (hear them ring) soon it will be Christmas day Strings of street lights Even stop lights Blink a bright red and green As the shoppers rush home with their treasures Hear the snow crunch See the kids bunch This is Santa’s big scene And above all this bustle You’ll hear Silver bells, (silver bells) It’s Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling. (hear them ring) Soon it will be Christmas day.
