In addition to raising money, youth develop valuable business skills and learn about financial responsibility, marketing strategy development and time management while also increasing their selfesteem and confidence in the process. Youth also have fun as they engage in friendly competition, vying for the coveted top seller spots and the fantastic prizes. Since 1989, Canadian Scouts from all across the country have sold over $100 million of Scout Popcorn, with 60 per cent of funds raised have gone directly back to local Scouting activities such as: summer camps, canoe trips, group excursions, and to help subsidize registration fees. Local Scout groups decide how they will allocate their funds raised through the popcorn sales. Since the inception of the program, local Scouts have raised nearly $60 million dollars in support of their local activities making the Scouts Popcorn program one of the top fundraisers in Canada

he Fifth Weyburn Scouts, which includes the Beavers, the Cubs, and the Scouts, will be holding a door-to-door popcorn sales campaign until October 15th. The Fifth Weyburn Scouts is trying to raise money to make all their Scouting Adventures for the year possible. Youth members not only earn money for group and section activities, but they are working toward prizes for the most sales — including gift cards from Chapters, the Scout Shop and Wal-Mart. As well, if a member has reached a minimum of $2,500 in sales (in any year), six per cent of that and all future sales goes into a scholarship for that member. Through the scholarship program, $54,000 has been given out to 77 youth across Canada for their postsecondary education expenses. Scout popcorn is a great holiday gift for family and friends. Members of the community can order it in the fall and it is delivered in December, just in time for the holiday season. Customers can also send a gift of popcorn to Canadian Forces bases in Canada and overseas. Popcorn sales have

Applications now open for new ‘Saskatchewanderer’ Applications are now open for the next Saskatchewanderer position. Interested candidates can apply from Tuesday, October 13 until Monday, November 9 to be the next Saskatchewanderer. Over the course of 2015, the Saskatchewanderer project has experienced unprecedented growth. The program kicked off with more than 10,000 c o m b i n e d f o l l ow e r s through Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in January. Currently, the Saskatchewanderer boasts more than 26,000 followers. As the year comes to a close, Tourism Saskatchewan and the Ministries of Parks, Culture and Sport, Agriculture and Economy are gearing up to offer the program again in 2016. The goal is to showcase Saskatchewan as a terrific place to live, work and play. “For the last five years, I’ve travelled the globe,” 2015 said Saskatchewanderer

STRETCHING DOLLARS
The claim is that ‘the worst is yet to come’ for our struggling economy. As it stands right now, Canada’s annual inflation rate is edging higher, making it difficult for people to pay rising food and shelter costs. Sabrina Kraft production@weyburnreview.com
W
e are already seeing signs that nationally, Canada won’t be coming out of the oil price collapse unscathed. Many direct impacts of dropping oil prices are already showing up across the nation and especially right here in Saskatchewan. What makes the situation more difficult is that even as oil prices drop — inflation rates are getting higher and higher, leaving more and more people struggling to make ends meet every month. And even as our oil prices drop, the cost of gas is rising higher. It doesn’t help that the Canadian dollar sank to a six-year low when compared to the American dollar. Most of our imported goods are from the States, which means a higher cost. Some families are making hard decisions to what is ‘not-as-necessary’ with their monthly budgets: mortgage/rent payments, utility bills, or grocery purchases. For most families that decision is to purchase less groceries — after all, there are financial penalties when you miss a mortgage/rent payment, or an utility bill. That decision to purchase less food becomes more of an impact when families are faced with rising food costs. According to Statistics Canada, consumers paid 3.6 per cent more for food in August of this year, when compared with the same month a year ago. Prices for food purchased from stores were up four per cent. It is no wonder that many families are seeking assistance from the Salvation Army Food Bank, and why the Food Bank is constantly seeking more donations to
help assist with the increased need. People shouldn’t have to choose between feeding their families and paying other bills. But for many families, there is no other choice. The economy is struggling and it is impacting many families at the personal level. We have heard about many provincial governments going into a deficit to pay their bills. At the personal level, many families are also running a deficit to pay their bills. Our basic shelter costs are also increasing. According to Statistics Canada, the shelter index has increased by 1.1 per cent. The cost for homeowners’ home and mortgage insurance was up 8.1 per cent in the 12 months leading to August. Electricity prices also contributed to the rise in the shelter index, increasing 3.7 per cent. All these increasing costs due to inflation make it more difficult for families to pay their bills. Many families have people who are working two or three jobs to try to make ends meet. Many families are working overtime to make their commitments. The result for many families is less quality time with their significant others or with their children. As families struggle to pay their bills because of rising costs, it is no wonder that so many ‘extras’ like volunteering for community groups, participation in sports, drama or arts, or even going on vacation is being neglected in favor for the necessity items. We need to find better ways to solve the current economical situation that is facing millions of Canadians. Our country cannot prosper if our people are struggling day-after-day.
The Stages of Growth By Linda Wegner Rounding the bend at the south end of the track, my thoughts and the view automatically change and I hear myself exhorting myself: “Nearing the end of another lap, Linda. Just this many more to go”. Even as I mentally mouth the words I’m aware of a new vista before me. At the place across the field where I began the day’s exercise, I savoured the view of ocean and islands. Picking up my pace, I rounded the bend and faced the forest. Now, heading down the other side I see staggered layers of growth. At the lowest level, lush masses of invasive blackberry bushes were, mere weeks ago, the source of many a residents’ winter supply of succulent berries. Behind those, fast growing alder poke their leafy heads above the bushes. Behind those and intersecting this part of the picture is the unpaved power-line road where trucks, some heavy with harvested timber, rumble and groan.
this week
Between their trips, empty trucks rattle and bounce to a pick-up point. Beyond the power-line, stray cedar and pine stand tall against hills of varying heights and beyond those, the outline of a mountain range. So like life, I muse. So like my own life in particular. Looking back over more than seven decades of living it’s not hard to recognize the highs and lows that have marked my spiritual and physical journey: My marriage; the birth, growth, marriages and offspring of our two sons; the diagnosis of cancer and subsequent treatments; the launch of my company; and, now the luxury of contemplating a slower pace. I’ve known triumph and tragedy but through it all there has been a consistent seeking after a deepening relationship with Jesus Christ. I wouldn’t trade any part of the journey. “Praise the Lord….mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars….” (Psalm 148:7-12)

Mayor’s Musings by Weyburn Mayor Debra Button
Can you believe it’s fall already? Are you like me — do the summers seem to race by faster every year? Although our city workers had vacations to juggle like everyone else, we still managed to get a lot done this past summer. You may remember our Mayor’s Clean-Up Crew, a pair of summer students we hired to go out and do some painting and sprucing up of sign posts, fire hydrants and basically anything that was looking a bit dingy. What did you think? Did you notice a difference? Is this an initiative we should keep going in future years? Speaking of sprucing up, our city was visited by the judges for Communities in Bloom. We didn’t enter the competition but the judges came to assess how the city has been doing since the flood. The judges will give us a final report that will tell us the areas in which they are happy with our progress and the areas where we still need to pull up our socks. Now, I hope you noticed the fresh paint and I hope you noticed the flowers but one thing I know for sure everyone noticed was the closure of the Government Road bridge. After many weeks of diligent work by our City Engineering Department, the bridge is finally open again. I know this was an inconvenience for everyone but it was an important safety consideration so the Engineering Department wanted to make sure they got the job done right. I want to thank our City Engineer and his team for their thoroughness in looking
after the safety of all of Weyburn’s citizens and visitors. Another thing I’m sure most of you noticed was some stories in the LeaderPost about the downturn in the oil industry. I know that current state of the industry is causing a lot of anxiety for some of our newer residents. For sure, this is not a fun time for a community in the middle of the oil patch. But those residents who have been here awhile know that this is just part of the cycle. We’ve been through times like this before but over the long term our community has been on a growth trend. Even now, we are looking forward to adding some new businesses to Main Street. In the meantime, we have a lot of leisure activities to look forward to as our fall programming gets geared up. I’d like to give a special shout out to the Weyburn Beavers for their terrific season, capturing the Saskatchewan division of the Western Major Baseball League for the first time in team history. Of course, with baseball winding up, we can now look forward to Red Wings season and hope that they do just as well. On a final note, I’d just like to remind everyone about Farmer Appreciation Night coming up in early November. This is one of the biggest events of the year so make sure you stay alert when tickets go on sale. I’ll have some more fall observations for you next month. In the meantime, if you have any questions or any topics you’d like addressed in this column, please let me know at dbutton@weyburn.ca.
How May I Help You? By John Smith Church of Christ
Someone recently challenged my approach to ministry in a way that is a game-changer if I can actually put it into practice. My usual approach to ministry, which has always led me to more doors of opportunity than I can follow through with, has been to genuinely offer people that I meet, “How may I help you?” It’s not something I have to pretend or artificially manufacture. The “helper” gene is a part of my psychological DNA. My good parents raised me to be on the watch for the needs that people around me have. When I see someone that needs help, get in there and serve. When I don’t see any particular needs calling out to me, go asking, “How may I help you?” it’s something I do automatically and for the most part it has contributed to my effectiveness with people in Christian ministry. But now I’m re-thinking that constant mode of behavior after being encouraged to employ a different approach to people with needs. Instead of always asking people with challenging problems, “How may I help you?” it would be better for them if I saw past their problems to the actual person that they are. What is their value and potential? It’s not very fair to allow a person’s problems to define how I view him or her as a person. Rather than just jumping in to take a problem off their hands (however successfully that ever happens!), what if I instead responded to them by affirming their personal value and focused on what they have to contribute to others around them? By always rushing to the rescue of people I may, in fact, be enabling them to hold on to their problems and contribute to an unhealthy dependency on their part. When one is always at the mercy of others to get them out of troubles, they can even develop a debilitating complex of helplessness. People often feel shame that they need someone to help them and the “How may I help you” message may contribute to their low self-esteem or grate on their pride. Saying, rather, “I see so much more in you as a person than the circumstances you find yourself in” and “How can you show us more of the good person that you are?” opens up avenues of growth for them. Obviously people in the midst of crisis do need the help of others and I ought to be there for them when the opportunity arises. But what I should be constantly on the lookout for in people around me is not “What‘s wrong with you and how can I fix it?” but “What’s the worth in you that can be drawn out for the benefit of all?” My theology teaches me that everyone has this goodness in them. May my approach to ministry with people better reflect it!
Managing time
by Andrea Corrigan
Further to my new-andimproved comment on columns from last week, I found this one on “How to Manage Time With 10 Tips That Work” by Joe Mathews, Don Debolt and Deb Percival. I thought I would try to implement some of these suggestions into my own life. All I can do is try, right? Enjoy! Chances are good that, at some time in your life, you’ve taken a time management class, read about it in books, and tried to use an electronic or paper-based day planner to organize, prioritize and schedule your day. “Why, with this knowledge and these gadgets,” you may ask, “do I still feel like I can’t get everything done I need to?” The answer is simple. Everything you ever learned about managing time is a complete waste of time because it doesn’t work. Before you can even begin to manage time, you must learn what time is. A dictionary defines time as “the point or period at which things occur.” Put simply, time is when stuff happens. There are two types of time: clock time and real time. In clock time, there are 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year. All time passes equally. When someone turns 50, they are exactly 50 years old, no more or no less. In real time, all time is relative. Time flies or drags depending on what you’re doing. Two hours at the department of motor vehicles can feel like 12 years. And yet our 12-year-old children seem to have grown up in only two hours. Which time describes the world in which you really live, real time or clock time? The reason time management gadgets and systems don’t work is that these systems are designed to manage clock time. Clock time is irrelevant. You don’t live in or even have access to clock time. You live in real time, a world in which all time flies when you are having fun or drags when you are doing your taxes. The good news is that real time is mental. It exists between your ears. You create it. Anything you create, you can manage. It’s time to remove any self-sabotage or self-limitation you have around “not having enough time,” or today not being “the right time” to start a business or manage your current business properly. There are only three
ways to spend time: thoughts, conversations and actions. Regardless of the type of business you own, your work will be composed of those three items. As an entrepreneur, you may be frequently interrupted or pulled in different directions. While you cannot eliminate interruptions, you do get a say on how much time you will spend on them and how much time you will spend on the thoughts, conversations and actions that will lead you to success. Practice the following techniques to become the master of your own time: 1. Carry a schedule and record all your thoughts, conversations and activities for a week. This will help you understand how much you can get done during the course of a day and where your precious moments are going. You’ll see how much time is actually spent producing results and how much time is wasted on unproductive thoughts, conversations and actions. 2. Any activity or conversation that’s important to your success should have a time assigned to it. To-do
lists get longer and longer to the point where they’re unworkable. Appointment books work. Schedule appointments with yourself and create time blocks for high-priority thoughts, conversations, and actions. Schedule when they will begin and end. Have the discipline to keep these appointments. 3. Plan to spend at least 50 percent of your time engaged in the thoughts, activities and conversations that produce most of your results. 4. Schedule time for interruptions. Plan time to be pulled away from what you’re doing. Take, for instance, the concept of having “office hours.” Isn’t “office hours” another way of saying “planned interruptions?” 5. Take the first 30 minutes of every day to plan your day. Don’t start your day until you complete your time plan. The most important time of your day is the time you schedule to schedule time. Tune in next week for the remaining five time management tips.

Cord Crowthers, director of fighter relations and CEO of Prestige FC, said that the entertainment value of this event is much like bringing the world’s attention to Weyburn. “We will have top athletes from many different places here in Weyburn, competing in our event,” said Crowthers. He said that the ‘Atonement’ event is designed for all ages. “It will be a nice night out. We encourage everyone to check it out.” “We are really lucky to have lined up all the cards we have for this fight, it will be the biggest show in Canadian history — outside of the UFC.” As for Clayton and Sheldon, it will be a great opportunity to represent their hometown at Crescent Point Place. “I’ve been involved in the sport for about five years now,” said Schira. “Initially it was to learn some new skills and to get in shape but as I got further into it I liked the challenge that competition brought.” “I expect this fight to be my most difficult fight to date. I don’t know a lot about my opponent, but he comes from a good camp and he has some mixed martial arts wins so I expect him to push me to my limits,” said Schira. Clayton said that the most challenging part of mixed martial artist is try-
ing to maintain focus. “It is especially hard when your opponent is pressuring you with a possible submission or heavy strikes. Being able to think and work your way out of those situations without panicking is the biggest challenge.” Right before Clayton heads into the ring, he likes to relax, stay hydrated and visualize all possible challenges that could arise in the fight. “I like work my way out of those challenges in my mind.” One of the aspects of being a mixed martial arts fighter is dedication to a lot of training. “I don’t think people realize the hours of training and dedication required to compete in an MMA fight.” “The hours in the gym training technique, strength and endurance adds up to a huge amount of time. It takes its toll and is hardest on your family because you spend so much time at the gym,” said Schira. Clayton considers himself a well-rounded fighter who is able to adapt to an opponent as the fight progresses. “I do a lot of strength and conditioning training. I prefer to do that in the morning and then do technique and fight training in the evenings. “Watching my diet and getting enough rest is also an important aspect of fight preparation,” said Schira. He also has many hobbies in addition to being a mixed martial artist. “My hobbies are be upland bird hunting, fishing and riding horses with my wife and daughters. I also love to play guitar and sing.” As for Sheldon Le-
SERVICE REPAIRS
Blanc, he is hoping for a victory for hometown fans. LeBlanc first started as a wrestler in high school and was pretty good at it. “Later on when I started watching UFC with friends, they said I would be good at it. So I found a local gym in Saskatoon,” said LeBlanc. “I’ve been involved in the sport for eight years.” He said that the most challenging aspect is trying to find the time to train. It is a balance between his family, and working long hours at his job. Other hobbies for LeBlanc include spending time with family and competing in Crossfit competitions. “I try to train at Crossfit six days a week and then do mixed martial arts training three to four days a week,” said LeBlanc. When it comes to some key moves inside the ring, Sheldon said that he tends to favour the key lock, since he has won three of his previous fights by using this move. Sheldon noted that there are a lot of sacrifices that fighters makes, plus they depend on support from their family, as well as teammates when it comes to being prepared for any of their fights. Another important mandate for Prestige Fight Club is that they donate funds back to local sports organizations. Prestige FC will donate 100 per cent of their bar proceeds to the Weyburn Red Wings. Plus, they will donate $100 from every VIP table and $5 from every ticket back to the Weyburn Mixed Martial Arts Club. “Every ticket sale does help. Plus, the event itself is a lot of fun! In addition to the fights, there is also food, mingling and a great show put on.”

Annual Mandi Schwartz tournament is hosted
The annual Mandi Schwartz Challenge was held at the Cooperators Centre in Regina on September 25 to 27. This annual hockey challenge was hosted by the Saskatchewan Hockey Association (SHA) in partnership with the University of Regina Cougars Women’s Hockey Team. This tournament style event was the final selection phase for under-18 female team Saskatchewan who will travel to Huntsville, Ontario to take part in the Nation Women’s under-18 championship in November. The top 25 players chosen from the Summer Camp attend this tournament for Team Saskatch-
ewan. Each player was evaluated during practices, games, fitness and other intangibles. The top 20 for Team Saskatchewan and that roster will be announced on October 5. The Female Sask First High Performance Program begins every February with zone camps held across the province and are open to all players in the U16 and U18 categories. From there, the top players are invited to take place in the Sask First Tournament held in April at which time the top 42 are chosen to attend the upcoming summer camp. The Mandi Schwartz Challenge began in September of 2010. Mandi was an alumni of the SaskFirst
Gold medal for Junior High
program and grew up in the Saskatchewan Hockey Associations’s female programs, eventually making her way to Team Sask. In December of 2008, Mandi was diagnosed with cancer (acute myeloid leukemia). Mandi received treatment and returned to Yale for the spring semester, however in April of 2010 Mandi learned that the cancer had returned. Mandi lost her battle with cancer and passed away on April 3, 2011 at the age of 23. Mandi’s undeniable caring heart and selflessness will never be forgotten. Not only was Mandi an incredible athlete and hockey player, she was an amazing person and will be remembered for that.

The Weyburn Comp Eagles senior boys volleyball team hosted a tournament on Sept. 25 to 26. Estevan, Oxbow, Yorkton Regional, and Melville all attended the tournament. After a disappointing record of three set wins and six set losses in the round robin, the Comp Eagles went undefeated in the playoffs, six set wins and no set losses, against Estevan, Oxbow, and Melville to win the tournament. In the back row, from left are coach Mike Onstad, Bryden Rumpel, Jaedon Miller, Walker Happ, Levi Woodard, Spencer Anderson, Paul Dionne, and coach Adam Wilson. In the front row, from left are Jordan Zazula, Bryan Urbach, Braydon Roberts, Dalton Nieszner and Kelly Kwochka.
For the rest of the CFL, it appears to be a big “Uh Oh”. The Saskatchewan Roughriders appear to have woken up. In their best performance of the season to date, the Green and White kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 33-21 home victory over the Montreal Alouettes Sunday afternoon before 30,843 fans at Mosaic Stadium. And almost immediately, the victory had the Rider Nation buzzing. It was the #1 topic on coffee row Monday morning: “So what has to happen for the Riders to make the playoffs?” The truth is, a lot. The odds are far greater that the Roughriders will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2011 because, according to CFL official statistician Steve Daniel, the Riders have to win all of their remaining five games and hope the Bombers, Lions, and Alouettes continue to lose. But remarkably, it could happen. And things have finally started to turn for Saskatchewan and the only question that remains is: have they left it too late? If you’re around the team every day, it’s impossible not to notice that this is a totally different football team than the one which started the season 0-9 and caused the firings of head coach Corey Chamblin and GM Brendan Taman. Their replacements, Bob Dyce and Jeremy O’Day both on the interim, are working in concert to change the mindset of their locker room. It’s subtle things, like changing the practice techniques and leaving the roster alone, for the most part. Sunday’s game was the first time all season that there were no changes to the roster from the week before. Lack of injuries played a part in this, but the reluctance to tinker with the lineup seems to have instilled a renewed sense of confidence amongst the players. In Sunday’s game, the Riders led 6-0 after their first possession and never relinquished the lead the rest of the way.
“It’s a different mentally now,” revealed quarterback Kevin Glenn who tossed for 212 yards and a touchdown in Sunday’s game. “We have a lot of the same guys but sprinkled in some new guys, like Naaman Roosevelt, but for the most part, we had a good team early on and weren’t getting the breaks and weren’t doing the right things early. But it’s a different mindset now. You can credit the coaches and the guys, but everyone is coming together.” Glenn’s right. Roosevelt is one of a handful of American rookies on this team that bided his time on the practice roster in the first half but is now making the most of his playing time on a club that is well below .500. The Buffalo product and former NFL’er led the team in receiving Sunday with three catches for 68 yards. Ditto for offensive tackle Jermarcus Hardrick and defensive tackle Andre “Juicy” Monroe who’ve been starting since the coaching change and have displayed unending hustle in practice and in games. All it took was one win in another must-win game for the Roughriders to be infused with glowing optimism. The veterans have shone a positive light on things as well, including defensive end John Chick who delivered a passionate pregame speech to his team. It seemed to have provided the necessary inspiration. Is there a miracle finish in store for Canada’s Team? “That’s our plan,” Bob Dyce chuckled in his postgame news conference. “It’s funny, I’ve let certain players talk to the team at certain points. John Chick asked me if he could talk to the team and he had an important message. He said he has nothing but belief in this team and we need to keep fighting and see where the cards fall.” You can’t turn your back on the Roughriders now. It appears the fun has just begun.

LOCO has just begun a new research project into the impact of online shopping on local business. Online shopping represents a large and increasing part of the Canadian economy. However, many of the dollars spent leak out of our economy to US Corporations. A 2013 report produced for Vancity reported that two out of every three dollars spent online by Canadians go to US retail websites. Please help us complete our research to asses the impact of these trends on local business. If you own a retail business or are a consumer (and we all are), please take our survey at:

“HEAR THE BEEP WHERE YOU SLEEP”
Weyburn Fire Department and the City of Weyburn have been active supporters of Fire Prevention Week for a number of years. The schedule for this year’s events is as follows: Saturday, October 3rd, 2015 – Fire Station Open House, Demonstrations, Children’s Activities, Meet your Local Firefighters – 1300hrs to 1600hrs Tuesday, October 6, 2015 – Condo Education – 1900 hrs to 2100 hrs Wednesday, October 7, 2015 – Fire & Rescue Demonstrations at the Fire Hall (55 16th St. NE) – 1900hrs - 2100 hrs Thursday, October 8, 2015 – Home Safety Checks – 1900 hrs to 2100 hrs Note: Home safety checks will incorporate Fire Service Personnel visiting residences in our community, answering questions in regard to fire safety, and checking to ensure alarms are working on all levels of the property.
Among the safety tips that firefighters and safety advocates will be emphasizing: • Stay in the kitchen when you’re frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you must leave the room, even for a short period of time, turn off the stove. • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every story of your home, including the basement. Larger homes may need additional alarms. • For the best protection, install interconnected smoke alarms in your home. When one sounds, they all sound. It is especially important to have interconnected smoke alarms if you sleep with the doors closed. • When installing a smoke alarm, follow the instructions that come with the alarm. • Do not discard cigarettes in vegetation such as mulch, potted plants or landscaping, peat moss, dried grasses, leaves or other things that could ignite easily. • Do not use the clothes dryer without a lint filter. • Turn the dryer off if you leave home or go to bed. Follow the manufactures operating instructions and don’t overload your dryer. VISIT FPW.ORG FOR MOUR LIFE SAVING TIPS!

Fall is an excellent time for producers to soil test By Lyndon Hicks, PAg
Regional Crops Specialist, Yorkton Sask. Ministry of Agriculture
Fall is an excellent time for soil testing as it gives producers more time to assess their fertilizer management plan for the next season, without compromising soil test accuracy. Fall soil sampling generally gives enough time to sample the fields, order nitrogen fertilizer, and fallband before the soil freezes up. Producers, who apply all their fertilizer in the spring, can continue soil testing late into the fall. After mid-September, soil nutrients can be accurately measured. The availability of soil nutrients fluctuates with many factors, including soil temperature. It’s preferable to wait until the soil temperature has cooled to below ten degrees Celsius. When the soil cools down, the mineralization of nitrogen (N) also slows down considerably. Mineralization is the process whereby N in organic form is converted to plant-available form by soil microbial activity. The time of sampling is less critical for soil phosphate (P2O5), potassium (K2O), and other nutrients. Soil testing involves three steps: collecting, analyzing, and recommending. At its most basic, soil testing involves collecting soil samples that best represent that field; choosing a lab to analyze; and developing nutrient recommendations
from the analysis. Getting the most from a soil test requires collecting a representative soil sample, identifying a laboratory whose analysis and recommendation philosophy conforms with the producers’ nutrient management objectives, and providing that laboratory with all the pertinent information they require. Tips to successful fall soil testing: Know your field history — make sure that the sample is representative. Take enough sample, there is a recommended minimum of 15 to 20 per quarter. Keep the sample cool — send to lab as soon as possible while maintaining a stable cool temperature. Avoid hot spots — a hot spot refers to a small pocket of soil with high nutrient densities. Contact your lab of choice prior to sampling — different labs have different protocols and sampling techniques. The analysis techniques and recommendation philosophies differ with each individual laboratory. However, they all use the best technology and information required to analyze and make recommendations. The quality of the laboratory analysis and the accuracy of the recommendations will depend on the quality of the soil sample and the information the producer provides: including the previous crop grown and crop selection options for the next growing season.

Half the student body will attend the workshop for the first day of the event and the other half of the student body will attend the second day.

Talent auditions soon open for Telemiracle 40
Kinsmen Telemiracle is looking for Saskatchewan singers, dancers, bands, and entertainers to audition for a chance to perform on Telemiracle 40. Telemiracle 40 will be hosted March 5 and 6, 2016 in Regina, and broadcast live on CTV. “Audition weekend is such an exciting time for us. We continue to be impressed every year at the incredible talent from across the province,” said Jody Diakow, the executive director for the Kinsmen Foundation. “Our producers watch over 200 performances on the audition weekend. They always have a tough job to narrow that down to around 50 that will ultimately be on the show.” While talent is one part of the criteria, a passion for Telemiracle, the desire
to help others, and a geographic balance among performers are other factors involved in the selection of entertainers that will be on the show. Producer Ian Roach said, “Telemiracle is a coming together of the Saskatchewan community to raise funds for people with special needs. This year, Telemiracle 40 represents a milestone for the telethon. Our Saskatchewan performers have always been a significant part of the show and we look to celebrate this anniversary in every corner of the province.” Anyone interested in auditioning for Telemiracle 40 must apply to the Kinsmen Telemiracle office to be registered. Auditions will be held on November 7 in Regina and November 8 in Saskatoon.

Producer organizations such as the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (SaskWheat) are reminding the agriculture industry to keep transportation issues top of mind this election season This is in response of the most recent report estimating that producer revenue losses caused by grain export capacity constraints will be $5 to $6.7 billion for the 2013/14 and 2014/15 crop years. “This is a big issue for producers, and for the west in general,” said Bill Gehl, board chair with SaskWheat. “Make sure your candidates in the federal election are aware of the importance of having adequate transportation and handling capacity that works for producers.” The report in question, produced by University of Saskatchewan ag economist Dr. Richard Gray, calculated the complete shipment and price data for the previous two crop years in order to outline the unique impact on farm returns. The estimated revenue losses of between $5 to $ 6.7 billion were incurred by producers over the previous two crop years as a
direct result of elevated export basis levels, which were primarily driven by the lack of adequate grain handling and transportation capacity relative to the large 2013 crop levels. This report, along with a report summary, is available at www.saskwheatcommission.com. “This report reflects a tremendous loss to producer income, a loss to the western economies, and a loss to our local business,” said Gehl. “Producers need to be directly involved in planning the future of grain handling and transportation capacity to make sure we aren’t hit with these losses again.” Late last year, Sask Wheat joined with the Agriculture Producers Association of Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission, and Saskatchewan Pulse Growers to submit recommendations to the Canada Transportation Act (CTA) Review Panel regarding planning for railway and grain handling capacity in order to facilitate growth of the Western Canadian economy. The CTA review is scheduled to be completed in December.

Swing for Scholarships tourney raises $34,000 The Southeast College’s 17th annual “Swing for Scholarships” golf tournament had a successful event, held at the Weyburn Golf Club on September 11. Over $17,000 was raised for Southeast College scholarships which will be matched dollar for dollar by the Ministry of Education’s Saskatchewan Innovation and Opportunity Scholarship program. This will result in over $34,000 in scholarships to
be available for Southeast College students. “The donations that are received at our tournaments go a long way to help financially support our students,” said Dave Harazny, manager of College Advancement and the golf tournament co-chair. “This was the first year we were able to award each of our post-secondary students with $1,000 entrance scholarships and this is due to the tremendous success of events

such as this.” A total of 91 golfers participated in an 18-hole Texas scramble complete with steak dinner to round out the day. “The college is attuned to the growth and needs of the learners that we serve,” said Jeff Richards, VP of Strategic Development. “We are exploring new partnerships with potential donors in order to continually increase and enhance the scholarship options available to our students.
Our new Fueling the Future campaign is a recent example of that success.” Southeast College is proud to be the Trainer of Choice in southeast Saskatchewan, serving approximately 8,000 learners and producing over 5,000 graduates annually. The college contributes over $19 million to the region’s GDP and offers innovative and flexible programming that encourages students to learn where they live.

10 uses for leftover paint
Solutions & Substitutions By Reena Nerbas
Dear Reena, I pack strawberries in little plastic containers for school lunches. With strawberries being unbelievable expensive; it drives me crazy when kids eat a few bites around the stem and toss most of the berry into the trash. Other than wasting valuable time cutting stems off; how can I remove the stem? Thanks, Lindsey. Dear Lindsey, Insert a plastic straw into the bottom of the strawberry. Push the straw through the berry until it reaches the green stem. Keep pushing until the stem pops right off of the berry. Voila, the stem is gone and the berry is ready to eat, with nothing wasted. Hi Reena, I have wicker furniture, which is a light golden color, but badly faded by the sun. I am wondering what I can cover it with, without having a major sanding job to remove what is left of the old color. A second question;
I own patio blocks that have gradually become blackened. Which cleaning mixture should I use to remove the discoloration? Vern Dear Vern, This solution is for stained not painted wicker. Brush the wicker with a combination of onethird turpentine and twothirds linseed oil. Allow furniture to dry for several days. Next apply an oil base stain color to the furniture. Finish with either two coats of varnish or lacquer. From feedback that I receive, wicker furniture painted with latex paint quickly fades and the results are not as great as oil based products. Some sanding may be necessary if color is loose. Pavers should be sanded and resealed every two to three years. Clean pavers with a hose or pressure washer; hoses are less likely to cause damage between stones. Use a commercial paving cleaning solution or an oxygen bleach powder and water. Let sit for 10 minutes and scrub with a stiff brush or a street broom.
Dear Reena, I have a really bad case of dandruff! I shampoo my hair with dandruff shampoo but it doesn’t make a difference. Do you have any advice for me? Sam Dear Sam, Dandruff is the shedding of the skin on the scalp, and a little dandruff is normal for everyone. If you have an oily scalp, the Mayo Clinic recommends shampooing often to prevent dandruff. Another solution is to clean hair with shampoos containing tea tree oil, use only a few drops and stop use if scalp becomes irritated. If you are desperate, visit a dermatologist and he/she can prescribe medicated shampoo. Dear Reena, Do you have any solutions for those dreaded paper cuts? They are small but boy do they hurt. Janice Dear Janice, With lots of nerve endings in fingers, it’s no wonder that something
so small can hurt so big. Spread a little lip balm i.e. ChapStick onto paper cuts for instant relief. Preparing Your Pumpkin • If you plan to carve your pumpkin 2 or 3 days before displaying, lightly smear petroleum jelly on the cut edges. • To lengthen the life of your carved pumpkin, spray with water and wrap in plastic wrap, store in fridge when not in use. • Create the smell of Halloween spice. On the bottom of the pumpkin lid sprinkle a half teaspoon of each of the following: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin spice. Once the pumpkin is lit, it will create a wonderful seasonal scent. • Get creative! Illuminate your jack-olantern with a multicolor, changing battery powered LED bulb. Note: Every user assumes all risks of injury or damage resulting from the implementation of any suggestions in this column. Test all products on an inconspicuous area first.
If you’re sitting on a stash of leftover latex paint, you have a gold mine when it comes to home decorating. With a little imagination, you can use paint leftovers to give your home extra appeal, and have lots of fun in the process. Here are 10 great ideas, courtesy of the Paint Quality Institute. 1. It takes only a little leftover paint to impart canisters, coasters, or the handles of wooden spoons with bright, fun color that can make cooking more joyful. 2. In the same way, planters and flowerpots can be decorated with paint color -- the more, the merrier. Paint them one solid color, or embellish them with pattern for more panache! 3. Have an old dresser that’s tired-looking? Spice it up with paint. Use different colors on different parts for added visual interest. Do the same with an old stool, table, or cabinet. 4. Check out your attic or your neighbors’ discards. You might find hidden treasure in the form of a unique piece just pining for a fresh coat of paint. 5. Put a stamp on your walls. Add pizzazz to painted walls with a handcrafted
patterned border. Fashion a “stamp” out of an old sponge in the pattern of your choice, then dip it in the leftover paint and dab new color onto the walls. Voila! Custom design. 6. Express your home’s individuality by adding accent color to a door, doorway, or an entire wall. The unexpected color will make your interior something special. 7. Embellish built-in bookcases, cabinets, or a mantelpiece with leftover paint to create striking elements in your décor. 8. Using a stencil, apply paint to just about anything – a piece of furniture, a wall, or even the floor. It can render the ordinary, extraordinary. 9. Make like an artist. Why buy art supplies, when you already have a handpicked palette of colors you like? Use them as is, or mix them as needed to create murals or fine art. 10. Frame your artwork. Repaint the frames on your prints, paintings, and drawings to give them a fresh appearance. Or, paint a simulated “frame” right on the wall to draw attention to favorite objects or sculpture.

Book Review:
Wascana Lake Through 4 Seasons
Getting messy with fabric

Students from Haig School get some hands-on experience making their own fibre-art, as they use different pieces of fabric and other supplies to create unique pieces. This was during a Culture Days workshop held at the Signal Hill Arts Centre on September 18.
Multi-year restoration is done for historic courthouse
Reconstruction work on Regina’s historic Victoria Avenue Courthouse is now complete. The multi-year project, which was undertaken to preserve the heritage nature of the facility and prolong the life of the building for years to come, wrapped up with completion of the landscaping surrounding the building. “I’m proud to say that work on the courthouse was recently honoured with the Lieutenant Governor’s Heritage Architecture Excellence Award for Conservation,” said Jennifer Campeau, Central Services Minister.
“The award is a testament to the ingenuity of everyone involved in the project, and to our government’s commitment to preserving our architectural heritage.” Originally constructed during 1959-60, the major portion of the reconstruction work involved removing and rebuilding most of the exterior stone of the building, along with portions of the interior support walls. In order to meet heritage guidelines, all materials and work methodologies used had to replicate those of the original construction. “The attention to detail in this restoration project is
truly remarkable and greatly appreciated,” said Gordon Wyant, Justice Minister and Attorney General. “This project ensures that one of the province’s most significant courthouses will continue serving Saskatchewan people for many years to come.” Work on the facility was co-ordinated to ensure that court proceedings were not disrupted during construction. The project is one of many undertaken in recent years to ensure Saskatchewan’s history and architectural past can be seen and appreciated by generations to come.
Creative Kids
Celebrate 5th anniversary
Creative Kids celebrated its fifth birthday with a party held in Victoria Park, Regina on September 26. “We started the Creative Kids Program five years ago — the first program of its kind in Canada — as a way to help ensure that all young people, no matter what financial barriers they faced, could access arts, cultural, and creative activities in their communities,” said Rose Gilks, general manager, SaskCulture. “To date, Creative Kids has granted over $1.5 million to over 3,700 kids in 144 different Saskatchewan
communities.” Established in 2010, Creative Kids is a charitablegiving program designed to provide grants of up to $750 per year to Saskatchewan children and youth, ages four to 19 years, who face barriers to accessing cultural or creative activities, in areas such as music, dance, culture, arts or theatre. Creative Kids receives operational funding from SaskCulture, which allows 100 per cent of all donations and sponsorships received to go directly to funding applications from deserving children wish-
ing to participate in arts and culture activities. “This celebration was an opportunity to thank volunteers and community members for supporting our efforts, as well as a chance to increase awareness of this growing need,” said Christie McCulloch, fund development, Creative Kids. “Thanks to the support of our donors and community partners we are able to fund hundreds of kids each year, but we still can’t fill all requests. We rely on donations to make sure all kids have access to creative activities in their community.”
The book “Wascana Lake Through 4 Seasons” is written by Sheena Simonson. It is published by Your Nickel’s Worth Publishing. This review is by Shelley A. Leedahl. When I learned I was reviewing the hardcover photography book Wascana Lake Through 4 Seasons, I thought: Cool, after I’m done, it will make an excellent gift for someone. I’m a born-and-raised Saskatchewanian who now lives on Vancouver Island, and let me tell you, folks, Sheena Simonson’s wonderful publication is so evocative of my home province, this book’s not leaving home. Simonson’s compendium tells the story of a province - historically, socially, seasonally, recreationally, and flora and fauna-wise — not just the story of how Wascana Lake came to be, and how that urban body of water delights visitors year-round. In her afterword to this beautifully-designed and easy-to-read book, the author-photographer
explains that some “328 kilometres of trail were covered in order to come up with the final 325 images”. The vibrant photos – some full page spreads, others collages - document Simonson’s “oasis,” and were shot in Wascana Centre between the Albert Memorial Bridge and the Broad Street Bridge. There are myriad photos of the behemoth Legislative Building – particularly impressive in the hoarfrosted winter scenes and when foregrounded by the lake at sunset - and its surrounding gardens. There are birds and blossoms, insects and art work, bridges and the bubbles that one usually doesn’t stop to look closely enough at to realize their individual beauty in the foam. Good photographs make us slow down. Simonson begins her book with a Henry David Thoreau quote: “It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” Sheena Simonson, I like what you see, and am grateful you’ve shared it.

Liquor coalition is calling for fairness for Saskatchewan A coalition of groups is calling on the Saskatchewan government to provide fairness in liquor pricing so that Saskatchewan residents will get the best price when they pick up a six pack of beer or a bottle of wine. T h e S a s k a t c h ewa n Hotels and Hospitality Association (SHHA), Restaurants Canada and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) are jointly launching a petition calling for fairness in pricing, selection and regulation for liquor retailing. “Customers often ask off-sale owners why our prices are higher. The answer is simple: we’re forced to pay higher prices when we buy liquor from the government,” said Jim Bence, SHHA CEO. “The government needs to make the playing field level with fairness in pricing, selection and regulation because then customers will be the big winners.” The Saskatchewan government is currently developing a new policy for liquor sales. The current system imposes different pricing structures, selec-
tion options and regulatory requirements for different types of retailers. The following are examples of the new policies: Rural franchises receive a 15.3 per cent discount on liquor purchased from the government. Off-sales, such as hotel bars and restaurant offsales, have to buy liquor from the government at retail prices and there are no government discounts. Full-line private stores such as Sobey’s and Co-op get 16 per cent discount. “Right now off-sales have some advantages and rural franchises have other advantages and in the end we all lose because the system is unfair,” said Denny Joyal, owner of the Waterfront Beach Bar and Grill at Regina Beach. “There’s lots of room in the market for us to compete and customers will come out ahead when we’re all free to provide the best combination of price, selection and service.” The joint petition calls on the provincial government to provide fairness in pricing with the same pricing structure for all li-
quor retailers, including: rural franchises, off-sales, full-line private stores and government stores. The coalition is also calling for fairness in selection and regulation so that all retailers can offer a full line of products and enjoy equal opportunities to sell to restaurants and other establishments. “Saskatchewan restaurants are trying to provide the unique drinks and selection their guests want, but the government won’t allow us to buy products from private retailers,” said Dwayne Marling, Manitoba-Saskatchewan vice president for Restaurants Canada. “Customers will win when the industry is competing to serve them.” “Saskatchewan governments have been tinkering with liquor sales for too long,” said Todd MacKay, Prairie Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. “If the government isn’t going to get out of the liquor business completely, the least it can do is allow private liquor retailers to compete on an even playing field.”

Grade 4 students from St. Michael school spent some time at the River Park playground, after completing a scavenger hunt for signs of autumn. The signs of autumn can be seen around the city, with trees turning colour and leaves falling to the ground. The official first day of autumn was observed on September 23.

Regulations to prohibit use of indoor tanning beds by youth under 18 have been completed by the Saskatchewan government, and will take effect November 1, 2015. “This step will help to protect youth from the health risks associated with indoor tanning,” said Dustin Duncan, Ministry of Health and MLA for Weyburn-Big Muddy. “The regulations represent a workable, practical approach to this issue.” The regulations will apply to tanning facilities and to businesses that offer indoor tanning services, such as gyms and spas. The government announced its intention in late March to regulate indoor tanning by youth. The new regulations were developed after consultations with stakeholders and businesses,
ASK WEYBURN CITY COUNCIL A QUESTION Do you have a question that you would like to pose to city council?
Or perhaps a concern regarding a municipal issue that you would like the city to address, in the interest of the city’s taxpayers? Pass along your concern or question to us, and we will pose the question to city council, or the appropriate city official, and we will then try our best to print the city’s response or explanation of the issue or concern. Include your name and phone number for verification purposes (your name will not be published), and either phone us in the newsroom at 306-842-6955, or email to production@weyburnreview.com, and in the subject line write “City council question”. The questions should be of interest to the taxpayers of the city and should not be personal in nature.
and with consideration to developments and approaches in other jurisdictions. “This is a positive step forward in cancer prevention,” said Scott Livingstone, president and CEO of Sas-
katchewan Cancer Agency President. “Skin cancer is a deadly disease and it is important that young people are aware of the risks associated with tanning and tanning beds.”
