General Manager’s Report
Fall is upon us and looking back I often wonder “Where did the summer go?”. For some reason summer this year seemed to pass extremely quickly for me. I don’t know if it’s because we’re just getting busier, older, or a combination of both. My grandchildren always look forward to summer and had an especially busy one this year. They felt that it was a very good summer, so taking the information from them I will also assume it was a very good summer. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our members for their strong support over the past years Don Kraft which allows us to continue to expand our services within our community and continue to provide equity and cash back at record levels to our members. We’re very proud of the accomplishments that Prairie Sky Co-op has made over the past year with a particular one of those being listed again as one of the Top 100 Companies in Saskatchewan, moving our rank from number 80 in 2014 to number 70 in 2015! This 10 position improvement in ranking certainly bodes well for your organization and for its strength. I also want to thank our employees for their hard work, dedication, and efforts in making this co-op your preferred choice to do business. A special thanks to all of the staff that go the extra mile to ensure that we meet or exceed our customers’ expectations and welcome them back on a continuing basis. As we go into the fall, we begin our planning process for 2016 and beyond. The Board of Directors and the management team will have their planning sessions over the course of the next couple months, which will assist in setting the direction for your cooperative, not only for 2016, but into 2020. I encourage the members to talk to our management, employees, and board members to provide input so we can better plan for our members’ needs. In closing, I want to thank the Board of Directors for their dedication, vision, and guidance in directing our cooperative to meet not only the existing needs, but future needs of our members, our community, and our employees.

Trying to improve conditions of orphanage
Families fundraise for Ukraine children
F
or two local families, it is very important to support Oksana’s Harvest, a private charitable outreach program that is engaged with seven orphanages in the Odessa region, Ukraine. These families have both adopted children from the Ukraine. Marcel and Kym van Staveren have adopted three children. The most recent additions were sisters Alina, age 13 and Oksana, age 15. Wayne and Clair Vilcu have adopted siblings Olya, age 13 and Oleg, age 15. These siblings recently immigrated to Canada, joining the Vilcu family, in May. Oksana attends the Weyburn Comp, while the other three go to the Weyburn Junior High. They are all enjoying being active in after-school activities. Oleg is involved in football, while Oksana, Alina and Olya are all involved in their school choirs. They have all enjoyed making new friends since moving to Weyburn. Before coming to Weyburn, all four of these children had stayed in the same orphanage. So they are very familiar with the conditions of the facilities, and the needs of the children who are still unadopted. The van Staveren and Vilcu families are currently raising funds to improve conditions at the orphanage in Balta. They have recently purchased a commercial size fridge and are now raising funds to purchase new windows for the orphanage. Many of the windows in children’s bedrooms do not open, and they would like to replace them. There are 10-12 children in a bedroom and just over 200 children in the orphanage. “They have three levels (in the orphanage), and in the top level is really bad so it gets really cold,” said Oksana. “Every year they tape the windows to keep the cold out.” “In the winter it can be pretty freezing.” Improving the facility conditions of the orphanage just one of the ways that the families try to help. Last year, they collected blankets and warm clothing for the orphanage. The the average standard of living in the Ukraine has debuy any new or creased by 80 per cent over the last 20 years. Poverty and pre-owned sickness are brought on by the inability to provide adequate vehicle from nutrition and healthcare. oct. 7 to nov. 7 & There are 100,000 orphans who live in Ukraine’s 450 orreceive a trip for phanages.

One of the projects that Oksana’s Harvest is also working on is to raise funds for an agriculture project at one of their orphanages, which includes planting 100 fruit trees, building a greenhouse, and planting a vegetable garden.

The Grades 1 and 2 group of runners set off on a one-kilometre run, as part of the Weyburn schools’ Mini-Marathon held after school on Oct. 6 at Assiniboia Park School, using the Tatagwa Park pathway in the northeast corner of the city. With 262 runners registered, there were races held for each age category, including preschool and kindergarten, Grades 3-4, 5-6, and older kids and adults took part in a 5-km race, with prize draws held throughout the event.
Winter firewood should be secured safely, responsibly As the first days of fall approach, it can be an unpleasant reminder that the frigid days of winter are soon ahead, along with the need for a secure supply of firewood to keep their homes comfortable this winter. Individuals can choose between several options to procure their firewood. Dead or downed wood can be cut without a permit or greenwood can be cut by purchasing a forestry permit. “Either way, all harvesters should make sure they know the status of the land where they intend to harvest fuelwood,” said Matthew Burtney, a Forestry Officer with the Ministry of Environment. Safety and protective gear are top priorities for individuals cutting their own wood, as well as sticking to existing roads and trails. Making new paths can cause significant damage to trees. Harvesters should also ignore unmarked piles of wood left in the bush as the stocks likely belong to commercial foresters. Special considerations exist in some area of the province. For instance, pine fuelwood cannot be transported into Saskatchewan or out of the
Cypress Hills region due to the risk of spreading the mountain pine beetle and Dutch elm disease regulations make it illegal to use, store, transport or buy elm wood for any purpose. For those who choose to purchase instead, they can get their winter supply of fuelwood by going through a commercial firewood seller. If someone wants to harvest fuelwood from Crown forest and sell it themselves, there are several requirements. A permit is required, and a plan needs to be submitted in advance to the Ministry for approval. Following that, they’ll have to pay dues and fees on the wood. Burtney encourages anyone who is interested in commercially selling fuelwood or who has questions about forestry permits, types of fuelwood and the requirements for harvest and transport, to contact their local Ministry of Environment office.

FALL SESSION IS IMPORTANT
The fall session for the Saskatchewan Legislature is still very important for the province, even though it is not a complete full term for the government — with a spring election set for April. Sabrina Kraft production@weyburnreview.com
T
here was no Throne Speech when Members of Legislature returned to their fall session on October 13. Instead, the decision was made by the SaskParty government to concentrate on some priority bills before the spring election. However, the fall session should still be an important one. It is one more opportunity for both the SaskParty and the New Democrat Party to showcase what is important to them. There should have been a Throne Speech to direct the actions of our provincial government before the voters go to the polls for the provincial election. The provincial election is scheduled for April 4, 2016. Thus, there is only a 25-day-sitting for the fall session. That is only 25 days to ensure that the people of Saskatchewan are still the main focus — and that priority areas are being discussed and covered. According to Premier Brad Wall, the important items for the SaskParty government during the fall sitting includes legislation allowing additional private MRI scans, new rules dealing with foreign farm ownership, amending essential services legislation to put it in compliance with the Supreme Court ruling, and possible changes to liquor retailing. The NDP opposition also plans to pursue some private members bills. They want to focus on the Buy Local Day Act, a government procurement policy to give local companies “an even playing field” to bid on government contracts, creating minimum standards of
care and staffing ratios in seniors care and long term care, making the full price of P3s public, and setting targets for green jobs and energy. We have to ensure that with a short fall sitting, that our elected MLAs are still doing the best to their ability to fulfill commitments and ensure a strong economy for the province. There are a number of priority items for residents in southeast Saskatchewan that needs more direction. It is important to remember that many municipalities depend on funding from the provincial government to make their own local decisions. Municipal elections will be held in one year after all, so there is only one more term for many of our city/town councillors and mayors. They need strong support from their provincial and federal partners to ensure that municipal needs are met. Things can get a little chaotic during election season, and it can be especially difficult with a federal election being decided on Monday, October 19 — then the provincial election following in April of 2016. But the day-to-day responsibilities of a municipal government does not stop because of an election. There are still many civic decisions to be made, even as Canadian voters head to the polls to decide the next federal government. There will be many civic decisions to be made while the provincial election is held. There are some things that just can’t wait until a new government is voted into power — and it is up to those members who are still serving their communities to ensure that they are making the most of their time in the Legislature or Parliament.
THANKSGIVING, IT’S NEVER REALLY OVER By Linda Wegner It’s all packed away now, neatly stowed in various spots around the house. In the fridge, small amounts of roasted turkey, drizzled with what gravy was left sit next to containers of carrots, roasted Brussel sprouts and homemade cranberry sauce, enough for supper tomorrow evening. Like so many other special meals, days of preparation are often consumed in a less time than it took to peel the potatoes. The everyday kitchen table gained a new level of respectability under the cover of linen tablecloths. Received nearly half a century ago as wedding gifts from family in Germany, they’re almost as pristine white as when they first graced our home, testament to the power of bleach. They live in the linen closet. Costly china, glass and crystal serving bowels as well as silverware that actually matches have been hand-washed and stored away. I don’t use them often but each piece is cause for remem-
this week
bering: cutlery from a dear sister-inlaw; Royal Doulton china, covered in fall leaves, from a friend; crystal and glass pieces from Mom. All memoryfilled and reasons for giving thanks. Then there was the Sunday sermons that admonished us to cultivate an appreciation for the good things we enjoy. My pastor’s words are welcome, wise and sincere. Remembering to cultivate a daily attitude of thanksgiving is just that, however, a daily exercise in focusing on that which is praiseworthy, often in spite of circumstances devoid of any reason for celebration. In yesterday’s church bulletin I read: “a heart of gratitude releases true victory and freedom; a thankful heart releases true healing.” “Give praise to the Lord, proclaim His name, make known among the nations what He has done. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts….Look to the Lord and His strength, seek His face always.” (1 Chronicles 16:8-11)

RETHINKING
Thanksgiving Season By Rev. Jay Song Knox Presbyterian Church With last Sunday being Thanksgiving Sunday, we have now stepped into the Holiday Season. Whenever I think of the meaning of “Giving Thanks”, one of Jesus’ most famous illustrations comes to mind. In the Gospel according to Luke, Jesus speaks of the two people who go up to the temple to pray — one was a Pharisee who was a religiously devout man, and the other a Tax collector. In the temple, the Pharisee prayed, saying, “God, I am thankful that I am not like the other people — thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.” The Pharisee did not intend on picking on the “other people”, but was simply grateful that he had. He assumed that because he was different from the “other people”, he deserved everything good to come to him. He seemed to think that God looked down on him with pride, and would exclusively reward him for being who he was. With sinful nature, we tend to compare what we have and do with that of others, and are often proud of the times when we can outdo someone else. When it comes to our blessings, we tend to say to ourselves, “Maybe I’m not completely happy, but at least I’m better than those people out there.” Is this self-evaluation Jesus’ way? That is the challenging question. The reality is that, sometimes life can be so harsh. To some of you, while you want to be grateful for all of the blessings in your life, some years in the past and/or a current situation might seem very tough to overcome. Maybe it came or comes with its fair share of trials, tears, and suffering with the idea that God is nowhere to be found, and is far away. It is at these times when you struggle to be thankful, where uncontrollable pain, worry, pain, loneliness, and addictions cloud your faith in God’s plan for you. If so, I want to encourage you to hang in there. I want to pray for you. It has been a month and half since I moved to Weyburn. Ever since the move, there have been a number of people, including my parishioners and my predecessor Rev. Bob Wilson, helping me settle down. Many people were quick to accommodate me, and provided all the essentials when I arrived here. I have received nothing but encouraging words, and great jokes about the cold and long winters. I’m just grateful to all of them. I feel blessed to be able to settle down here in Weyburn, where many people are forthcoming to share in community activities, volunteering, fundraising events, and fellowship time. We need a new definition of Thanksgiving. The definition must be broadened. The new definition of Thanksgiving is not just counting and being thankful for blessings; it should instead be having gratitude in our heart, while sharing our hospitality and God’s love with others, and giving them hope of everlasting life. Like the Christmas season, Thanksgiving season must be full of care, love and compassion, which Jesus Christ showed people all the time. Thanksgiving season is also a time of prayer, which the Apostle Paul strongly emphasized on. This spirit of gratitude and sharing of God’s love and hospitality must continue year round. Putting it simply, a heart that is willing to share shows more gratitude than just a quick celebration of thanks on a holiday called Thanksgiving Day.

Refresher course to be held for mature drivers Aging drivers can increase their confidence behind the wheel and refresh their driving skills with the Saskatchewan Safety Council’s Mature Driver Refresher Course. The free course is sponsored by SGI and provides insight into how aging drivers can adapt their driving habits based on the physical changes the body goes through as it matures. The six hour Mature Driver Refresher Course will cover self-evaluation of current driving knowledge and habits. It also covers the aging process and how it affects driving, compensating for vision and hearing problems, adapting to hazardous road and weather conditions, understanding your vehicle, and safe driving when using medication.

More than 150 students from across central Saskatchewan were trained as Red Cross Youth Facilitators on October 8. “These students now have the skills and tools to provide bullying prevention presentations in their own schools and communities,” said Red Cross Respect Education Provincial Manager Valerie Pearson. “Over the next few years, these students will speak to thousands of their peers about how to address and prevent bullying.” Presented by the Cooperators, the 2015 Red Cross Youth Symposium was held at TCU Place in Saskatoon. Another Youth Symposium is being planned for November in Regina. This is the second year that the Red Cross has trained students to be-

come Youth Facilitators. Last year, over 90 students were trained. “We are thrilled to partner with the Canadian Red Cross to help create safe and respectful schools and communities,” said Glenn Bohay of The Co-operators. “The Co-operators understand how important it is to help the Red Cross protect children and youth from bullying.” Students were treated to guest speakers including Travis Price (Pink Shirt Day co-founder) and Luc Mullinder (Roughrider alumni, analyst, and Red Cross bullying prevention program advisor). “The success of this symposium demonstrates the growing momentum of a culture change that we call Imagine No Bullying,” said Mullinder. “More and more schools and organ-
izations are joining the movement to create safe and respectful communities.” The Youth Symposium is funded, in part, from the Red Cross Campaign for Kids Raffle. Funds from the raffle go directly to Red Cross bullying prevention education in Saskatchewan. Tickets are on sale now at redcross.ca/campaignforkids. For over 30 years, the Canadian Red Cross has been working to promote healthy relationships amongst individuals and within schools. Canadian-based research shows that ong o i n g , p e e r- t o - p e e r education is the key to preventing bullying, which is why we continue to work with Saskatchewan schools and communities throughout the year to provide bullying prevention education.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2015
k e e w s i SPORTS th
NEWSFLASH: The Saskatchewan Roughriders will not win the 2015 Grey Cup. Although you may have had that suspicion for much of this ill-fated campaign, the Green & White were officially eliminated from the playoff race Friday night with a 30-15 loss to the Tiger-Cats at a sold out Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton. It dropped the Riders to 2-13 and represented the earliest in a season they’ve been mathematically extinguished in my 17 seasons of calling Saskatchewan’s games on radio. There are still three games left to go. So what’s next? We’ll examine that in a minute. But first, as far as Friday’s game went, it was another must-win game for the Roughriders and for a second-straight week, they inexplicably came out flat. With Kevin Glenn as the team’s starting quarterback (just like the 46-20 loss in B.C. the week before), Saskatchewan trailed 20-0 at halftime and it was at that point Glenn was given the hook in favour of rookie Brett Smith. Smith, the freshman from the University of Wyoming, showed some flashes and was able to put 15 points on the board (including long touchdown passes to Weston Dressler and Ryan Smith) which helped make the outcome respectable. However the loss went on the record of Glenn, but his interim head coach wouldn’t hang him out to dry. “I think it was a combination of things. I won’t put this on Kevin Glenn,” Dyce told 620 CKRM after the game. “There were a number of drops in the first half. There may have been some miscommunication and mislocated balls and when you do that against a defense like this you won’t have success.” “Offensively throughout the whole course of the game we didn’t have much flow. Defensively we fought hard for the majority and special teams had that punt block which led to our first touchdown. We talked about it before the game but some mental lapses bit us in the rear-end.” Unfortunately the Riders’ rear-end has bitemarks all over it at this point of the
season but there’s no point in rehashing the same-old, same-old right now. That can all be part of the year-end post-mortem. No, right now the Roughriders are busy formulating plans for their final three games of the regular season and they have the luxury of time on their side as they head into a bye this week. Bob Dyce told reporters they have “two plans” for the rest of the season: one for the scenario of them remaining in postseason contention and the other for if/when they were mathematically eliminated. And the latter is where they sit now. Interim General Manager Jeremy O’Day divulged on Friday’s pregame show that those two plans are “significantly different” and that they were just waiting for the right time to implement them. They didn’t want to indicate to the players that they were “throwing in the towel” on the season. Conventional wisdom suggests they would play their veteran starters when the games counted and play their rookies and youngsters once the games don’t. However O’Day cautioned they were playing with a boatload of fresh faces in Hamilton as it was including rookies: WR Naaman Roosevelt, PR/KR Nic Demski, RT Jermarcus Hardrick, DT Andre Monroe, LB Jeff Knox Jr., and DB Tyree Hollins. Add to that centre Cory Watman who was making his first career start. That, right now, is the most intriguing situation with Canada’s Team. Unfortunately we’re not on the edge of our seats with the drama of a playoff race but we’re curiously watching where the franchise goes as it attempts to repair itself from the wreckage of one of its worst seasons ever. And no one is quite sure which direction that will be. “I have no idea what our staff is going to do with the last three games,” admitted start receiver Weston Dressler. “I don’t take this game for granted. I know how quickly it can end at any time. I’m going to make the most of my opportunities whenever I’m on the field.” Of course the question now is: how much will that be?

Prestige promoter excited for mixed martial arts event
Cord Crowthers, CEO and Director of Fighter relationships for Prestige FC, is looking forward to the inaugural mixed martial arts event “Atonement”. “Every show is different, but we are excited about this one in particular because we have lined up many great cards for the upcoming fights.” “Atonement” will be held at Crescent Point Place on Saturday, October 24. It will feature professional mixed martial artists in a variety of cards. Crowthers has always been in the promotion business. He first got into mixed martial arts when his wife start training as a MMA fighter. “She needed a manager, so I supported her. One thing led to another, and I started managing other fighters,” said Crowthers. Eventually, that led him to promoting mixed martial arts with Prestige FC. “The best thing I like about our sport is that we get the opportunity to developer younger athletes,” said Crowthers. Over the years he has personally seen some of those athletes go further in their career, and become stronger as they pursue their passion for the sport. There have been challenges for mixed martial arts too. “In Saskatchewan, there was no governing body for MMA for the last few years. So for a while, everything was put on hold until the province could develop legislation.” While the popularity of mixed martial arts is increasing, Crowthers also noted that sometimes the challenge is just encouraging people to give the sport a chance — and attend one of their events. “Usually hockey or football comes first for the events that people want to watch,” said Crowthers. Prestige FC has lined
up an impressive card for its first event including three-time UFC competitor Mike “Biggie” Rhodes plus world-ranked Invicta lightweight Charmaine “Not So Sweet” Tweet — the only woman who has squared-off against the two undisputed best female fighters in the world, Ronda Rousey and Cristian “Cyborg” Justino. Ticket sales for “Atonement” are going good, said Crowthers. They are now entering in the last week of sales before the fights are featured at Crescent Point Place on October 24. In the main card, Mike Rhodes takes on Taki Uluilakepa. In the co-main event, Kurt Southern and Daniel Swain will take to the ring. In the main card featured bout, Charmaine Tweet will go up against Anna Barone. There are high-profile prospects and hard-charging veterans who will clash throughout the remainder of the Prestige FC main card matchups. Lightweight Mandel Nallo (3-0) and bantamweight Louie Sanoudakis (3-0) will take on a pair of upset-minded foes in Jose Rodriguez (7-4) and Eric Wilson (6-6). Both Rodriguez and Wilson will have the home-cage advantage as they fight in Saskatchewan for the first time as professionals. Another prospect on the card is Winnipeg, Manitoba’s Mariusz “The Iron Pol” Ksiazkiewicz (4-0) who faces Jordan “Hell Boy” McKay (7-2). The main card is rounded out by Sheldon Leblanc who attempts to ignite his hometown fans in Weyburn, in a clash with veteran welterweight Corey Atkinson. In the preliminary bouts, Prestige FC will open with four fights for “Atonement” including the professional debut of Weyburn’s own Clayton Schira.

Book Review:
The book “250 Hours” is written by Colleen Nelson. It is published by Coteau Books. This review is by Justin Dittrick. “250 Hours” by Colleen Nelson is a young adult novel that introduces readers to social issues creating divisions among Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal Canadians, while depicting how these issues manifest themselves in the problematic relations marked by discrimination, role-reduction, and conflict. However, while it is classified as a young adult novel, non-Aboriginal and Aboriginal Canadians of all ages will find in its pages a compelling representation of the social and economic realities all Canadians experience in reservations and in small town communities. The assumption that should be made is that many Canadians, like Sara Jean’s Gam, were educated in only a partial history of the residential school system, and may not realize that this school system amounted to a form of cultural genocide. The fallout of this school system is richly depicted in Jess, who grew up without a father and faced discrimination, as well as in Jess’s father, Gus, who returns home with liver cancer, having lived a life attempting to cope with his past with alcohol. The novel also depicts
‘250 Hours’ by Colleen Nelson the conflict non-Aboriginal Canadian women experience within their own culture, particularly the conflict young women face in deciding between marriage to a safe and secure future fulfilling a traditional role as homemaker, though this role may involve being subservient within the community and within the family, and a more uncertain future as a university-educated, independent woman. The novel presents parallel trajectories, that of Jess, a young Aboriginal man who has just been convicted of his second arson and has been sentenced to community service, and that of Sara Jean who has just graduated high school in her small community and must choose between a post-secondary education in Winnipeg and marriage to Rich, the son of a wealthy car dealership owner, who grew up in a traditional household. Nelson does an admirable job intertwining the narrative strands of Sara Jean and Jess, which makes this novel a gripping and compelling read. Jess’s community service is to clean the garage of Sara Jean’s Gam, who suffers from an illness that has left her terminally obese and bed-ridden. While supervising the cleaning of the garage, Sara Jean notices articles
belonging to her departed grandfather indicating that he had worked in the residential school system. Jess has second-hand knowledge of the residential schools, from stories passed on to him by members of his reservation. As Sara Jean learns of the residential school system and its effects on Jess’s community, the two of them develop a friendship, aided in part by Sara Jean’s growing revulsion towards her boyfriend, Rich, who, out of thinly veiled jealousy and deep-seated prejudice, becomes one of the novel’s antagonists, in his racist treatment of Jess and his aggression toward Sara Jean. Jess’s reservation, Deep River, is located close to one of the residential schools and the school literally and figuratively casts its shadow over the community. It is both a symbol of an indelible past, as the Canadian government refuses to tear it down, and a metaphor for the forking paths of the reservation’s future. A gang has arrived in Deep River with plans to use the residential school as a meth lab, while proposals have been made toward the community to build a dam on the river. The dam means that the eco-system surrounding Deep River will be irreversibly changed, though it also means there will be
jobs for residents in the community, jobs that will provide them with the means to resist the advances of the gang. “250 Hours” is a novel that, for its accessibility and seamless narrative structure, holds a great deal of weight. The intersection of Jess and Sara Jean’s stories allow an entanglement of issues and themes to be explored and parsed. Jess and Sara Jean are highly sympathetic characters, with responsibilities and hopes that speak to the heart of what it means to have misgivings in a relatively care-free, democratic nation. Furthermore, it is a novel that moves quickly, much more quickly than the 250 hours it takes Jess to fulfill his obligations to the non-Aboriginal community. Yet, in such a short span of time, one gains a perspective on the social, cultural, and economic forces that can divide Canadians, especially the effects of prejudice on a group of Canadians who would sooner live in a state of deprivation on reservation land, than under the strain of prejudice in Canadian cities. In spite of the seriousness of the subject matter
underpinning the plot, Nelson’s novel is light on its feet, nimble and brisk. This novel is highly recommended for all readers,
but will absolutely enthrall high school and university students interested in acquiring a humanist angle on Canada’s colonial past.

Safe driving contest is offered to teen drivers SGI is holding a contest for teen drivers in Saskatchewan with six $250 VISA gift cards up for grabs, in support of National Teen Driver Safety Week, which runs from Oct. 19 to 25, 2015. Teens aged 15-19 are invited to share their safe driving tips focusing on im-
paired driving, distracted driving, speeding or wearing a seatbelt. “Teen drivers have higher fatality, injury and collision rates than drivers in other age ranges,” said Earl Cameron, Vice President of the Auto Fund. “It’s heartbreaking to think of a young life
being cut short because he or she made the decision to drink and drive, or couldn’t wait to send a text. Don’t be part of this problem — be part of the solution.” “You can start by sharing your safe driving tip with SGI and then practising what you preach, during
WorkSafe Saskatchewan invites youth to participate in video contest
WorkSafe Saskatchewan is hosting their annual Youth Video Contest for Saskatchewan students in Grades 9 to 12 to help students learn more about workplace safety. The contest’s theme “It’s Your job” makes young people aware that they have rights and responsibilities in the workplace, just like all other workers. Asking the right questions and being aware of the hazards around them can save their lives and the lives of others. “The contest encourages students to learn about and promote safety in the workplace,” says Brad Compton, account manager with the WCB. “Using their creativity, students get important safety messages out to their peers. By taking ownership, we hope the message stays with them.” Students must create a two-minute video illustrating their vision of “It’s Your job”. They can promote their videos and the contest using the hashtags, #ItsYourJob, #MissionZero and #YVC2016. There are student and school prizes for the top three videos. The contest deadline is Friday, March 18, 2016. Most youth injuries occur in July and August and more than half of all injuries occur in the hospitality, retail, construction and manufacturing industries. The most common injuries are to hands, backs, legs, arms and eyes.
Of the 100 per cent of injuries: 46 per cent are cuts, strikes or burns to the hands; 17 per cent are back injuries that occur from over-exertion when lifting, climbing, reaching and twisting; 15 per cent are sprained, strained or broken legs; 11 per cent are cuts, sprains or strains to the arms; and 10 per cent are eye injuries caused by chips and splinters. Tragically, on average,
three young people die on the job in Saskatchewan each year. Saskatchewan legislation requires that youth 14 and 15 years of age complete the Young Workers Readiness Certificate Course (YWRCC) before starting work. For information, or to complete the YWRCC, visit www. worksafesask.ca/training/ online-courses/youngworker-readiness-certificate-course/.
National Teen Driver Safety Week and every time you’re behind the wheel,” said Cameron. In 2014, 15 teens were killed and 743 were injured in traffic collisions in Saskatchewan. Teens include those between the ages of 15-19. These 2014 numbers are preliminary. Teens can enter the contest by sharing their safe driving tips using the #WeCanDriveBetter hashtag on SGI’s Facebook page timeline, on Twitter mentioning @SGItweets, or on Instagram mentioning @ sgiphotos. Remember – be creative, but drive safely. No photos/tweets, etc., while driving. Those entries will be disqualified. VISA gift card winners will be determined by a random draw of all eligible entries, with the draw made on Oct. 27, 2015. Contest submissions will be shared on SGI’s social media accounts throughout National Teen Driver Safety Week.

Solutions & Substitutions Dear Reena, I am wondering if you have a homemade solution static/dust cleaner for computers and TV screens. No matter how often we clean them, dust quickly reappears. Any suggestions? Thank you. Carol Dear Carol, The easiest solution for repelling dust on screens requires two steps. Step 1: Wipe the screen with a very soft dusting brush or cloth. Step 2: Gently wipe the screen with a fabric softener sheet to repel dust. Hi Reena, I read with interest your article about fruit flies and
you indicated that they could also come from the soil. I have some of those flies and am not sure if they are coming from one of my plants or from the tomatoes that I picked. What is the best way to get rid of them from the soil? Also, if I take my geraniums inside during late fall; is that where the flies come from? If I can nip it in the bud as soon as I take them in, that would be great. Thanks, Jacki Dear Jacki, First, set out a bowl of vinegar to determine if the bugs are fruit flies or fungus gnats. Fruit flies are attracted to vinegar but gnats
are not. To reduce either from hatching in plants, spread a layer of course sand on top of the soil. Doing this makes it difficult for fruit flies to lay eggs. Also, standing water creates a perfect breeding environment for fruit flies, therefore water plants but make sure there is no standing water in the plant saucer. A great way to get rid of any possible pests in geraniums is to spray them with insecticide before carrying them inside. Homemade Pesticide: In a one-gallon milk jug, combine two tbsp. dish soap, one tbsp. rubbing alcohol, dash of Tabasco
SaskWheat announces agriculture scholarships
T h e S a s k a t c h ew a n W h e a t D ev e l o p m e n t Commission (SaskWheat) has confirmed it will help ensure the future of agricultural research and profitable production of wheat in Saskatchewan by offering undergraduate and graduate scholarships to agriculture students at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S). The recipients of these scholarships will be selected based on academic merit as well as the projected impact of their studies on the wheat industry. Sask Wheat will contribute $10,000 towards u n d e rg r a d u a t e s c h o l -
arships and $100,000 towards graduate scholarships, beginning this year. “The overall goal of these scholarships is to promote new research and innovation at a postgraduate level within Saskatchewan’s wheat industry,” says board chair Bill Gehl. “Sask Wheat worked very closely with faculty at the University of Saskatchewan to create a scholarship program that will foster the outcomes that will be most beneficial to wheat producers.” Mary Buhr, Dean of the College of Agriculture and Bioresources at the U of S, agrees that
SaskWheat’s graduate scholarship will foster sustainable industry development. “This new scholarship provides extraordinary support for graduate students,” she said. “These funds will not only support more new and innovative research projects enhancing western wheat development, but will bring excellent new minds into the field and ultimately build expert capacity in the wheat sector.” To learn more about eligibility for these scholarship programs and how to apply, visit www.saskwheatcommission.com.

sauce, one tbsp. canola oil and enough water to fill the jug. Pour mixture into spray bottle and apply as needed (double recipe as needed). Another option is to steep cigarette tobacco in water. Leave for two days and spray plants. Dear Reena, We have a new upholstered fabric headboard which has a musty odor. How can we get rid of this? Our residence is all new, with no dampness. Thank you, Faye Dear Faye, With the assumption that the headboard fabric is washable; clean it with one of the following solu-
carefully started and extinguished, and never left unattended,” Fremont says. “If you start a fire, make sure the campfire is completely snuffed out before you leave the area.” The best way to ensure your fire is out is to soak, float and stir the coals in lots of water until there are no embers and the ashes are cold to the touch.” Another fall activity that can sometimes result in a wildfire is yard and land cleanup, using fire to burn unwanted debris. Before planning a backyard burn, consider alternate forms of disposal such as recycling or composting the material. Some communities have established recycling programs, while others have community composting locations. Before you burn, be sure to check the weather and burn only when fire conditions are manageable. If it’s too hot or too windy, postpone your burn. It’s also important to put in fire guards and have suitable equipment and assistance on hand to fight the fire if it gets away. Always keep a close eye on the fire until it’s completely out. From April 1 to October 31, a burn notification number is required for
open fires in a provincial forest, in park land, or any quarter section wholly or partly within 4.5 kilometre of a provincial forest. If you’re burning within a rural municipality, remember all municipal bylaws and policies apply. For more information on burn notifications and tips on how to reduce your risk from wildfire, visit Saskatchewan.ca/fire.

Wildfire hazards can still exist during dangerous fall season Saskatchewan’s historic 2015 wildfire season is winding down but is not over yet. With grass beginning to dry out and leaves starting to fall off the tress, the potential for high fire hazards continues to exist. “Even a small spark combined with these fine, dry fuels can easily ignite a wildfire,” says Larry Fremont, the Ministry of Environment’s Fire Education and Prevention Coordinator. “Fall can be a bad time of year for wildfires, particularly human-caused ones as people head outdoors to enjoy the last days of warm weather.” Getting in and out of the bush means that vehicles such as cars, trucks and ATVs will be on the move. Heat from a vehicle’s exhaust system can spark the grass and leaves on the ground below, so drivers should stay on roads and trails. If you do have to go off-road, be sure to avoid driving through or parking in tall, dry grass that could potentially be ignited by a hot exhaust. If you are using an allterrain vehicle, check the muffler for debris that can heat up and leave a trail of embers behind you. “Campfires must be

Drivers urged to watch for ‘Moose on the Loose’
Increasing numbers of vehicular collisions with moose and deer has provided more than enough incentive for the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) to carry on its public safety campaign warning drivers of the dangers of hitting a moose or deer with their vehicle. This fall will herald the SWF’s 19th annual Moose on the Loose public awareness campaign. With financial assistance from SGI and the Ministry of Environment, the campaign’s objectives continue to address driver awareness of moose and deer crossing the highways at certain times of the day and year. Because of the overlapping breeding seasons, called the rut, moose and deer become much more mobile during the fall months of the year. Males of both species may travel great distances in search of females.
Using highway billboards, radio and TV PSA’s, posters and placemats in select locations, the message to drivers is: Be prepared; slow down in areas known to hold populations of moose and deer, especially at dusk and at night. Watch for the headlight reflective eye shine of deer at night while driving. Assume that if one animal is crossing the road, there likely will be more animals following. T h e S a s k a t c h ewa n Wildlife Federation is a non-profit, non-government, charitable organization with over 33,000 members in 122 branches across the province representing every walk of life. Per capita, they are the largest wildlife conservation organization of its kind in the world. Established in 1929, the SWF has become an acknowledged leader in the conservation field.

Prairie Sky Co-op in Sask. Business Top 100
t has been said that cooperation built the west. It was on this notion, and $1,000, that the Weyburn Co-op began. But, did the pioneers in the 1930s realize that $1,000 and a dream would have grown into a business that employs 170 people and generates over $90 million in revenue? Probably not, but then they never expected a tiny settlement on the “Soo” line in 1899 to be the opportunity city of the 21st century either. “Co-operatives remain a viable and important part of Saskatchewan communities,” said General Manager Don Kraft of Prairie Sky Co-op. “While we continue to grow and change, our values have always remained the same. We work together by sharing the profits and investing in our community.”
