Fire destroys Pangman-area farm house

Review Photo 5073 — Greg Nikkel

Firefighters from the Pangman Fire Department poured water onto the smoldering remains of a farm house destroyed by a fire on Monday evening in the KhedivePangman area. The fire occurred on the Cyril Tessier farm, and many neighbours and area fire crews were on hand to help battle the fire.

Work ongoing for a solution at CP rail crossing, intersection

By Greg Nikkel Weyburn’s new city manager wants more time to work with city staff and with CP Rail to find a solution everyone can live with for the Queen Street rail crossing, council was told Monday evening in an update on the issue.

Roy Hardy said he has been working with the city’s acting engineer to move the project forward, and noted he wants to address both the safety of the rail crossing on Queen Street just off Highway 39, and the nearby intersection of Highways 39 and 13.

“I feel there are some questions that need to be put forward with the issue of the safety of the crossing at Queen Street at the intersection of Highways 13 and 39.

I’m working to get something in to council as quickly as possible, so we can lay out two or three options that address both of those issues,” said Hardy, adding there are potentially some short-term solutions that could be done in the meantime, such as cutting back the brush that block a clear view of the tracks coming into Weyburn.

The issue of safety has been a longtime problem for both the intersection and the rail crossing, and the crossing came to the fore with a recent accident there, and CP Rail expressed the opinion they would rather see that crossing closed.

One of the objections raised to this scenario was that it would force more traffic into the dangerous intersection at Highways 13 and 39, where two busy highways cross at sharp angles.

With the rail crossing classified as one of the most dangerous in Canada out of over 21,000 crossings, the city needs to find a solution or one will be imposed by a higher level of government, said Hardy.

“I don’t want this to suffer from the paralysis of analysis on this issue,” said Coun. Jeff Richards, noting this has been discussed already for several years.

Hardy said he wants to look into the possibility of federal grant funding to help the city find a safe solution to this issue, “so there are channels I will be looking into with Transport Canada, and what type of solutions the federal government might be able to support.”

In the meantime, he will also look into what can be done to cut back the brush along the rail line to improve the sight lines for traffic at the crossing, and at the intersection.

A motion for the City of Weyburn to be more transparent will be discussed further at an upcoming strategic planning session for city council before being enacted.

Mayor Marcel Roy had put forward a notice of motion about reviewing the city’s bylaws in regard to in camera meetings, and ensuring that there are provisions for freedom of information and protection of privacy.

The mayor wants the city’s procedural bylaws reviewed to “provide greater clarity and specifications” about in camera or closed-door meetings, to make sure no resolutions are passed at in-camera meetings, to remove administrative committee provisions, and to provide time for any citizen to address issues at a council meeting.

“Why I’m bringing this up is we campaigned on this point, myself and a few of the councillors, to have greater transparency to citizens,” said Mayor Roy. Coun. Dick Michel noted that as Weyburn has a new city manager, he will need time to look into the relevant pieces of legislation around this issue, and suggested putting discussion on this over to the council’s upcoming strategic planning meeting to be held on Sunday, Sept. 10.

Hardy added he would like the opportunity to discuss some of these points with council about how the council and city administration conducts their business.

Coun. Mel Van Betuw felt it was important to note that previous councils had not done anything inappropriate in closeddoor meetings, nor did they make any decisions that were out of line.

Mayor Roy responded that his intention was not to look backward at what prior councils had done, but to look forward, and said the desire for greater transparency has been seen across the province and across Canada.

“Although some of our senior governments may not be as transparent, we as a local government want to be open as we are dealing with taxpayers dollars that they work hard for, and we have to be transparent. The people are asking this of us,” said the mayor.

Hardy noted that one of the changes he would like to look at is the practice of keeping the administrative committee meetings behind closed doors when this isn’t necessary. Some issues, such as confidential negotiations or labour relations, need to be discussed behind closed doors, but if any resolutions are required, these need to be done in open council.

The work is important for council to do, said Coun. Winston Bailey, but added, “We have to be careful we are changing it for the right ideals.”

Coun. Richards commended the mayor on his extensive research into putting together the motion for this action.

Putting the ducks into the Souris

Review Photo 4882 — Greg Nikkel

A total of 2,390 little yellow ducks were dumped into the Souris River from the Third Street bridge to start the race for the Duck Derby, a fundraiser held by the staff of the City of Weyburn to help kick off the 2017 Communithon for the Weyburn United Way. The city staff donated a cheque for $4,045 to the United Way from the proceeds of this event, which included face-painting, balloon animals, bouncy houses, a barbecue and a petting zoo.

23% of crops in the bin

SE harvest progressing Producers in the southeast area have completed almost a quarter of this year’s harvest operations, according to the weekly crop report from Sask.

Agriculture.

The harvest moved from 11 per cent to 23 per cent in the last week, which is well ahead of the five-year average of 14 per cent for this time of year. In addition, there is about 21 per cent of crops swathed or ready to straightcut.

Provincially, the harvest is 14 per cent combined with 15 per cent of the crop swathed or ready to straight-cut. The southwest area is furthest ahead where 30 per cent of the crops have been combined.

Broken down by crop district, 2A (the Weyburn region) has 21 per cent combined, 2B is 29 per cent combined, and 3ASE (Radville-Lake Alma areas) has 49 per cent of their crops combined.

Topsoil moisture conditions have deteriorated due to the warm, dry weather, with farms in crop districts 2A and 3ASE reporting that 100 per cent of crop land, hay land and pastures are short to very short of topsoil moisture at this time. Most RMs in the Weyburn region reported little to no rainfall in the past week, with the exception of the RM of Tecumseh in the Stoughton area, reporting a rainfall of 45 mm.

The majority of crop damage in the past week was due to hail, lack of moisture, strong winds and wildlife, such as waterfowl and deer.

Some producers have found it difficult to swath canola and to time the desiccation of other crops due to different stages of crop maturity.

Reported crop yields so far range from below average to above average, depending on the moisture received throughout the season. Some producers have indicated that while yields on some crops are higher than expected, other crops are well below average, and many winter cereal crops have been taken for greenfeed.

Broken down by crop in the southeast, 88 per cent of winter wheat has been combined and seven per cent is ready to straight-combine, with 86 per cent of fall rye combined, four per cent as greenfeed or silage, and 84 per cent of both field peas and lentils are combined, with nine per cent of each crop still standing, and seven per cent of peas and six per cent of lentils ready to be straightcombined.

Spring wheat has 61 per cent still standing, nine per cent in swath, 17 per cent ready to be straight-combined and 13 per cent combined, and durum has 56 per cent still standing, seven per cent in swath, 12 per cent ready for straight-combining and 25 per cent combined.

About 40 per cent of barley crops are still standing with 32 per cent combined, 15 per cent in swath and 12 per cent ready to straight-combine, and 69 per cent of oats are still standing with 14 per cent combined, 14 per cent in swath and three per cent ready to straight-combine.

About 61 per cent of canola crops is standing with 34 per cent in swaths, three per cent combined and two per cent ready to straight-combine, and 88 per cent of mustard crops are standing with seven per cent combined, and five per cent ready to straightcombine. Soybean crops have eight per cent in the bin with 92 per cent still standing.

Crops that have largely been untouched so far include chickpeas, flax and canary-seed.

A number of dairy cows are showcased during the Western Canadian Classic, as the senior 4-H members of different teams participated in a judging competition. The Western Canadian Classic was held at the Weyburn Ag Society 4-H barns from August 22 to 26. Teams from B.C., Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba had competed in a number of different events.

APAS calls for moratorium on closing producer car loading sites by CP Rail The Agricultural Producers Association disagrees with the Canadian Pacific Railway’s decision to close at least 10 producer car loading sites in Saskatchewan. In a letter to Federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau, APAS is requesting a moratorium on the closure of producer car loading sites until a full review of railway costs is completed. The letter also requests legislative changes to ensure that the closure of urban and rural sidings are subject to the same requirements.

“Producer car loading is an important source of competition and innovation in Saskatchewan’s agriculture industry,” said APAS President Todd Lewis. “Shipping grain by rail is far more cost-effective than hauling grain long distances by truck and results in a much smaller carbon footprint.”

Lewis also pointed out that once a loading site is listed for discontinuance, it is extremely difficult to have the site re-listed for service at a later date.

“Although demand for producer cars has declined in recent years, our industry is very dynamic,” Lewis said.

“There is the potential that crop diversification and increased production could lead to more demand in the future. This demand will not be met if producers lose access to their local rail sidings.”

Grain producers have a legislative right to order rail

cars through the Canadian Grain Commission under the Canada Grains Act. This is to ensure that producers have meaningful access to market their grains using Canada’s rail network. However, in the last decade, Canadian railways have been closing public loading sites at an accelerated rate. If these closures proceed, the number of loading sites on CP rail lines in Saskatchewan will be reduced to 26, down from 79 in 2005.

Although the numbers of sidings have decreased dramatically over the years, the railways are currently compensated for maintaining the same number of sidings that existed in 1992.

“The Maximum Revenue Entitlement program’s formula is clearly out of date,” Lewis said. “What we are saying to the Minister is no more closures until we get a costing review to bring it in line with today’s operating environment.”

The sites currently affected by Canadian Pacific Railway’s decision include Midale in the RM of Cymri, along with Tompkins – RM of Gull Lake; Cupar – RM of Cupar; Markinch – RM of Cupar; Grand Coulee – RM of Lumsden; Wilcox – RM of Bratt’s Lake; Moosomin – RM of Moosomin; Tisdale – RM of Connaught/Tisdale; Qu’Appelle – RM of South Qu’Appelle; and Duval – RM of Last Mountain Valley.

Watching the duck race on the Souris River

Review Photo 4895 — Greg Nikkel

Residents line the rail along the boardwalk as they watch the progress of the race of little yellow toy ducks at the Duck Derby fundraiser held on Sunday on the Souris River between the Third Street bridge and the Soo Line Museum. The City sold 2,390 ducks for the derby as a fundraiser for the 2017 campaign of Communithon for the Weyburn United Way, raising a total of $4,045. There was also face-painting, balloon animals, a petting zoo, bouncy houses, prize draws and a hot dog barbecue held by the United Way.

Dutch elm discovered in two city trees

By Greg Nikkel The City of Weyburn’s Parks department encountered its 10th instance of Dutch Elm disease in the last 25 years, with the finding of two elm trees that were infected in the city’s northwest area, council was told on Monday.

According to a report from the City’s Public Works and Parks department, test results from a symptomatic elm tree was positive for Dutch Elm disease.

The tree was on private property, but as per past practice, the tree was removed and disposed of to prevent the spread of the disease to other elm trees.

A second positive case in the area was found after precautionary testing, and the removal of this second tree is currently being coordinated with the property owner.

These are the first cases of Dutch Elm disease since two infected trees were removed in 2013.

In other business from Public Works, an inspection of water line connections was conducted to find the presence of lead water lines. Out of 220 potential locations, 48 were identified as lead. This work was conducted as part of the Clean Water - Waste Water Funding Project the City has received approval for from the federal government.

Also, Parks employees were involved in a cleanup of the City farm property formerly occupied by HELP International just west of the former Souris Valley grounds.

Council was told that “considerable resources in terms of staffing and equipment was required to deal with large amounts of garbage, debris and scrap scattered over several acres of property.”

Mayor Marcel Roy asked city manager Roy Hardy if the City should bill the costs for this cleanup effort to HELP International.

Hardy said he did make a trip to see the City farm property, as part of his tour of all city-owned properties, and commented, “There was tens of thousands of dollars of city manpower spent in cleaning it up, so I don’t see why we wouldn’t bill the individual for the time spent doing the cleanup.”

The City will seek further information before deciding on a five-year tender for external audits of the City’s books, council decided.

Quotations for an external audit was provided by three firms, MNP, Cogent and N.M. McMahon, and initially MNP was chosen as it scored the highest in the evaluation of their services, experience and cost. Their price was also the highest of the three, and Hardy noted there was a lack of specific information for some services with the comment from two of the companies they would negotiate the price on preparing a financial statement or for other non-audit services.

Hardy said in seeking price quotations, there needs to be a level playing field, and the city can’t ask for information from just one or two of the companies, but it needs to be sought from all of them.

“You don’t negotiate afterward what the terms will be.

This would defeat the purpose of asking for quotations,” he said.

Coun. Mel Van Betuw felt the city should go back to the companies to make sure they had all the available information from all three firms before council makes their decision, and the consensus of council was in agreement.

Council gave approval to SaskTel for two new communications towers in the city, to improve the 4G and LTE wireless services in the city.

Weyburn police charge young driver in accident Weyburn police and Weyburn EMS responded to a two-vehicle collision in the 10 block of Government Road at about 2 p.m. on Friday. A southbound vehicle driven by a 17-year-old female rear-ended another southbound vehicle driven by a 45-year-old male, which had stopped to allow a pedestrian to cross. The 17-year-old female driver was transported to the Weyburn General Hospital with a suspected broken arm. She has been charged with driving without due care and attention.

Weyburn police are currently investigating an incident involving a 15-year-old male accused of committing an assault causing bodily harm relating to a bullying incident on Aug. 21.

Weyburn police are investigating a report of mischief and damage to both a sign and a tree at the Elks Park on Douglas Road on Wednesday. Anyone having information about this incident is asked to contact the Weyburn Police Service, or to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Weyburn police received a report of harassing on-line bullying messages on Wednesday. Police wish to advise all parents that on-line (text, email, Facebook) bullying is an offence under the City Bylaw and in some circumstances can rise to the level of a criminal offence.

Weyburn police are currently conducting a sexual assault investigation. At this time there is no public safety concern as the people were known to each other and this is believed to be an isolated incident.

City police received a report of an individual walking two dogs, neither of which was on a leash, on Aug. 22.

The police wish to remind dog owners that under the provisions of the City Bylaw all animals have to be under the control of the owner. A dog off-leash is not under the control of the owner. Police have had some recent incidents where in similar circumstances another dog was attacked as well as people being bitten. People are urged to be responsible pet owners and leash their dogs when out for a walk.

City police were called to assist at a domestic dispute involving a 41-year-old male victim and a 36-year-old female aggressor on Wednesday. The matter was mediated and the parties were referred to support services. Alcohol was a contributing factor.

City police were called to assist in conducting a wellbeing check on a 19-year-old male on Friday. As a result

of that interaction, the person agreed to see a doctor and was provided a ride to the hospital.

A member of the Weyburn PS – CTSS Unit conducted a traffic check of a vehicle at about 12:20 a.m. on Saturday. As a result, a 40-year-old male was issued a 72-hour licence suspension and had his vehicle impounded.

While on patrol, a member of the Weyburn police encountered a severely intoxicated 24-year-old female at about 1:40 a.m. on Sunday. After determining that there was no sober person to take responsibility for this person, and the person being belligerent and uncooperative, the female was arrested for being intoxicated in a public place and was lodged in cells until sober.

A member of the Weyburn PS – CTSS Unit conducted a traffic stop at about 2:30 a.m. on Sunday. As a result, a 42-year-old male was arrested and has been charged with impaired driving. The vehicle was impounded.

The city police received information that a 14-yearold female was possibly missing from her residence on Sunday. The youth was located in the Weyburn area and returned home.

City police received a call reporting that a vehicle was driving erratically in the eastern part of the city at about 1:50 a.m. on Monday. The vehicle was located abandoned in a grassed area east of 18th Street and had been stolen from a residence on the 1700 block of Coteau Avenue.

Anyone having information about this incident is asked to either contact the Weyburn Police, or to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

This is the last week of summer school holidays with students returning to Class on Tuesday, Sept. 5. The first week is always very hectic with new students, new drivers and bicycle and pedestrian traffic around all schools.

Police urge motorists to be extra cautious next week.

Don Sealy says …

Hats Off to …

P.A.R Contracting Ltd. for their generous donation of equipment and labour to clean up the Therapeutic Animal Park.

The first approval was for a tower at 1711 East Avenue, with a 45-metre self-supporting structure to replace an existing 21-metre wooden pole, which will be removed.

The second location is at the corner of 16th Street and Fifth Avenue North, where SaskTel wants to install a 35-metre man pole, replacing a 14.9 m stealth pole which will be removed.

The approval includes the condition at both locations that a 2.44-metre fence be put up around the new towers, with entrance to only be through a locked gate, with precautions taken to prevent trespassers from accessing the location or the structures.

Also, both towers are to be anchored by guy wires which are capable of withstanding the wind loads at those locations. Both towers which are being replaced were temporary structures, and did not require fences to be around them.

Back to the Bible

“Take care! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired, because then you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven. 2. When you give a gift to someone in need, don’t shout about it as the hypocrites do — blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! … 4. Give your gifts in secret, and your Father, who knows all secrets, will reward you.”

OPINION

4 - The Review, Weyburn, Saskatchewan, August 30, 2017

E More openness is a good thing

M

ayor Marcel Roy served notice to council that he wants the city’s procedural bylaws reviewed to make sure that city council will be seen as open and completely transparent, a point he campaigned on for the municipal election.

The intentions of this move are good ones, as the new mayor wants Weyburn citizens to know they will be conducting business in the open and won’t try sneaking through anything via a closed-door or in-camera meeting.

Some of the points that Mayor Roy wants addressed include providing more clarity on the policies regarding in-camera meetings, adding provisions to ensure no resolutions can be made in an in-camera meeting, removing administration committee provisions, including a public forum at each council meeting where people will get five minutes each (if they wish to speak), and making sure the city bylaw reflects the Local Authority Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. Coun. Mel Van Betuw made a good point as he wanted to make sure that council wasn’t saying that past councils had done anything underhanded or nefarious by passing motions in a closed-door meeting. This is true, as there has not been any evidence put forward that any previous councils have ever done this, as indeed the provincial legislation for municipalities does not allow for motions to be made in a closed-door session.

Mayor Roy did say he wants to look forward, not backwards, and noted the public has indicated they want this, to have greater transparency in how their governments work.

One of the relevant points he made in his notice of motion is how the administrative meeting works. This meeting has always been a closed-door meeting, and is usually held prior to the open or public portion of the meeting. As the entire council is present for it, he argues, “it is much less a committee meeting but rather an in-camera meeting under the title of an administration committee.”

This is a very good point, as it seems the meeting has been used to have discussions, and in the “public” meeting motions are made without much discussion, and this does not serve the public well as at times the reasoning for a given decision of council is simply not provided.

There are times for discussions on confidential matters, such as when negotiating or in regard to labour relations, but otherwise everything else should be done in the public eye. As Mayor Roy pointed out, they are using taxpayers funds to make decisions for the municipality, so it’s in their best interests to be in the open. — Greg Nikkel

Interesting times on ‘vacay’ My Nikkel’s Worth

By Greg Nikkel Email: editor@weyburnreview.com

After living on the Prairies for a while, one can tend to forget there are some real hills and curves that can seriously challenge your driving abilities in Canada.

But I’m getting ahead of myself a bit. My wife and I just returned from a vacation trip to my parents place in B.C., in the postcard-pretty town of Kaslo on Kootenay Lake.

This year, the trip out there was broken up with visits along the way, which made it a much easier trip to do, including spending three days with my brother Rod and his wife Denise in Gull Lake, where they had been working for the summer.

It had been a while since I had seen them, so it was a really good visit. A highlight of our stay there was a day-trip to Fort Walsh in the Cypress Hills, which is a national park and a historic site where the Cypress Hills Massacre took place.

Because of how dry it is, all trails were closed, including the trail in to the location where the massacre occurred — but the fort was open and we took a guided tour of it with a very knowledgeable young woman who provided many interesting historical side-notes about how and why the fort was there and what role it played.

The trip up to the fort was interesting too, with some unexpected tight hairpin uphill curves that were worthy of the tight curves we normally find driving along Kootenay Lake. The very tight curves were such that they recommended

motorists leaving their trailers at the bottom of the hill. Of course, wouldn’t you know but some guy from Alberta came all the way up with his large RV trailer. I’m just happy I didn’t meet him going down those hairpin curves — and believe me, they have the trailer dropoff area there for a very good reason.

The temperatures were nice and moderate while we were in Kaslo, and on the day of the eclipse, I was downtown and a photographer had set up his camera with a filter to point at the partial eclipse. He invited people to come and look at it, and he also had pieces of welding glass so people could look at it without blinding themselves. We visited the Ainsworth Hot Springs while there, as it’s only 21 km from Kaslo, and we also spent a day in Nelson, seeing the many interesting shops they have downtown. With the fires ongoing up at Williams Lake and other locations, the tourist traffic in Nelson and Kaslo was incredibly heavy this year.

The trip back was good, and we were able to have supper with my daughter Deb on her birthday, a perfect way to end our vacation time.

On the drive home, I had my first encounter with deer near Lang, and I had to stand on my brakes to avoid hitting a group of three or four who ran out on the highway. I missed them, thankfully, and got home where we could rest for a couple days before going back to work.

Duck Derby kickstarts Communithon The Weyburn United Way received a cheque for $4,045 from the staff of the City of Weyburn on Sunday, which were the proceeds from the City’s annual Duck Derby fundraiser held to help kick off the 2017 campaign for Communithon.

City staff sold a total of 2,390 ducks for the derby, and the numbered ducks were dumped into the Souris River from the Third Street bridge by a city-owned front-end loader, with the first four ducks to cross the line winning a cash prize.

“I thought it was a great turnout. There were a lot of families out,” said Sabrina Kraft, president of the United Way and chair of the Communithon event to be held in October.

She noted there were many features at the event held on the hot and sunny afternoon, including a petting zoo provided by the Therapeutic Animal Park, bouncy houses, face-painting, balloon animals by Richy Roy, and a hot dog barbecue held by the United Way to help raise additional dollars. There were also prize draws for those who were in attendance for the derby.

The cash prize winners for the derby included firstplace winner Marg Briltz, who won $809; Art Stinson was second, winning $566.30; Tracey Salisbury was third, winning $404.50; and Leslie Branvold was fourth, receiving a prize of $242.70.

Beautiful

Weyburn’s Keisha Mowchenko recently completed her final year at Toronto’s Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts, which included having a leading role in a critically acclaimed production of “The Drowsy Chaperone” and being selected as class valedictorian. For the past two years, Keisha has received professional training in the Triple Threat skills of dancing, singing, and acting with the Randolph Academy.

“The Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts is a tiny little career college in downtown Toronto that is located in an old church, that has been remodeled to include a few studios. Only 150 students are accepted into the school at one time,” said Mowchenko. “The focus of the school is Triple Threat training, which includes dancing, singing and acting.”

“I have always loved to sing, it was a passion of mine for a long time,” said Mowchenko. “But I didn’t realize there was an industry where you could study all three.”

“I didn’t know about the whole stage industry for a while, but once I had some experience on the stage something clicked and I knew that was what I wanted to do.”

After graduating Grade 12 from the Weyburn Comp, Mowchenko had applied for a couple of different schools that offered Triple Threat training.

“My first exposure to musicals was in Grade 4, after my family moved to Weyburn, where I was taught by Colleen Weimer at Assiniboia Park Elementary School.

That year we did ‘Treasure Island’, and I just knew that it was the greatest thing that I had ever done. Then I just kept getting involved in different musicals and knew that I wanted to continue with my love for musical theatre.”

Now that she has graduated from the Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts, Mowchenko will be leaving for Surrey, England, where she will taking her Masters in Musical Theatre at the University of Surrey.

“I would love to make a career out of musical theatre.

As performers, you have to take whatever work you can get in film, or music videos, or stage productions, or commercials. I would love to be in musicals, and my dream is to get work in London after I am done school there,” said Mowchenko.

She does have a back-up plan of getting work in Toronto, since she realizes that getting a work visa for London can be difficult. “I would love to contribute to the bringing up of the Canadian theatre industry.”

Montreal Canadiens Alumni coming to city in December The Weyburn Chamber of Commerce and the Weyburn Red Wings have announced that the Montreal Canadiens Alumni Tour, presented by Canadian Tire, will make a stop at Crescent Point Place on Friday, December 1 at 7:30 p.m.

“We are delighted to be partnering with the Montreal Canadiens Alumni and the Weyburn Red Wings to bring this unique event to Weyburn, as it is a great way to wrap up Canada’s 150th and it clearly confirms Weyburn’s status as the fifth best place to live in Canada”, said Twila Walkeden, executive director of the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce.

There will be chances to hang out all game with the Montreal Canadiens Alumni Team with three “Thrill of a Lifetime” opportunities — one, to be assistant coach and the other, to play with the Montreal Canadiens Alumni Team. For this investment, the Thrill of a Lifetime participant will get to keep the Canadiens jersey that they will wear (and get it autographed), plus tickets to the VIP reception prior to the game. Any residents who are interested in hanging out in the dressing room and playing with some NHL greats can contact the Weyburn Red Wings.

Just remember, you have to know how to play hockey.

There is also a chance to play hockey and to strap on your skates to go head-to-head with an NHL player.

“Come and watch NHL talent on the ice in Weyburn.

It’s a great opportunity to see NHL players in our city playing against guys we know. Let’s see how we stack up against the skill of the Montreal Canadiens Alumni players,” commented Brent Stephanson, president of the Weyburn Red Wings.

For any residents who want the chance to meet the Montreal Canadiens Alumni Team, they can check out the VIP tickets. This ticket allows interested participants the exclusive access into the VIP reception prior to the game.

Inside the reception, fans will have an opportunity to meet the players, have photos taken and get autographs. VIP seats are located behind the Montreal Canadiens’ team bench, allowing fans the experience of getting up close with the players and coaches. These tickets are limited in number, so act quickly before they sell out.

This all-star sporting spectacle will provide a chance for all Weyburn and area residents to see some of the best players in the Montreal Canadien’s history.

For this exciting one-time experience, there are also two exclusive large rooms available for that “corporate box” feeling. They will accommodate that group of friends, staff or clients that want to create a great experience for. Interested groups should contact the Red Wings Office if they are interested in one of these rooms.

School Zones can be dangerous

New research from CAA shows parents are reporting an increase in unsafe driving practices in school zones. Results from the CAA survey indicate that the top two hazardous driving behaviours that motorists perform in a school zone are speeding and distracted driving.

“As parents and motorists, we can all do our part to help keep our school zones safe,” said Christine Niemczyk, director of communications, CAA Saskatchewan. With Saskatchewan students soon starting a new school year, CAA has developed some very easy, helpful safety tips for parents/guardians and motorists: Parents and Guardians: Smooth drop-offs start off with stress-free mornings.

• Plan the night before.

Help your kids get organized by preparing the next day’s lunch, backpacks, and school clothes. Also set out breakfast plates, fruit, cereal, etc.

• Start a launch pad.

Baskets or bin containers work best. Organizing experts say having a designated spot in your entryway for things like the kids’ lunch boxes, backpacks, textbooks, and coats is an effective way to keep things tidy and help make sure no one forgets anything. Encourage each child to be responsible for his/her own launch pad.

• Plan your Route: Rushing means making quick and sometimes potentially unsafe decisions. a) Driving your kids?

Know your route and talk with the school administrator in advance to determine drop off, pick-up, no stopping and parking zones. Park a couple of blocks way to avoid traffic congestion and safely walk the rest of the way with your children. This also provides an extra dose of exercise. Avoid texting and other activities that can distract you while you drive. Maintain your speed according to the posted speed limits. b) Walking or cycling?

Talk with your kids about pedestrian and traffic safety rules. Cyclists are encouraged to walk their bicycles across intersections. A well-fitted helmet is a must. Find out what your community’s bylaws for cyclists are and share

with your children. Find out in advance where the bicycle stands are at your child’s school and show your kids how to keep their bikes locked up and secured safely. For more tips visit caa.ca/bike. c) Good walking gear is important including comfortable shoes with traction.

Plan your child’s walking route to school and walk with them to better familiarize themselves with the school and surrounding area. Always have an older student or adult walk with younger children. Watch for CAA School Safety Patrollers, since these young and dedicated volunteers monitor school crossings by ensuring their peers and

all students cross roads safely and responsibly near their school. All CAA School Safety Patrollers wear bright vests designed with safety and visibility in mind. Remind your kids to never run out in traffic or between parked cars, buses or buildings. Youth should store their mobile devices in their backpacks so they can remain alert and be aware of their surroundings. d) Almost a third of Canadian students ride a school bus or van. Help your children be on time for pick-ups, while waiting in a safe place that’s well back from the edge of the road. Remind them to cross in front of the bus and never behind.

Good Luck during the school year and play safe.

Richard Orled Gallinger It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Richard Orled Gallinger.

Richard passed away suddenly with a heart attack on August 6, 2017 in Regina, SK at the age of 52. Richard was born March 29, 1965 at the Weyburn General Hospital. He was the youngest son of Marvin and Viola Gallinger. Richard has two older sisters, Marie and Marion, and a brother Ross. He spent the first two years of his life on a farm north of Halbrite. Then the family moved to Preeceville, SK. At the age of five, Richard became very sick and was diagnosed with diabetes. The family moved to Alameda where Richard attended school from Grade 1 to Grade 3 and in 1973 Marvin and Viola bought their farm at Carlyle, SK, where Richard finished his education.

Richard loved horses and cattle from a very young age. Richard and his niece Marla Phenix had a lot of memories enjoying 4-H together.

He always had time for his nieces and nephews. He worked very hard on the family farm, and long hours were spent in the dairy barn for many years. Later, with his dad, they went into PMU, as well as continuing with the rest of the work involved on the farm. Richard and his dad had many enjoyable times riding their horses, checking the cattle, especially in the spring when the colts and calves were being born. Marvin and Viola, along with Richard and his nephew, Alvin Mainprize, made several trips into Colorado and Iowa selling horses. Special friends Ed and Dianne McElroy would join them on these trips. In 1992 Richard married Audrey Shephard. Richard was a very proud father when his son Justin Richard was born November 3, 1998. They enjoyed rodeos, taking in the rides at the fair, going to the Drive-In and watching movies at home. They spent as much time as was possible together. The loss of his father in 2005 left him and his mother keeping the farm going. When available, his two sisters would also come home and help. Later, Dana was also a great help at the farm. As well as working at the farm, Richard worked evenings cleaning various places in Carlyle, as well as the rink in Arcola. In 2006, he met his partner Dana Gilliard and they were inseparable. They worked side-by-side, whether they were calving out cows, haying, fixing fence or whatever other projects they tackled. When his mother decided to quit farming, Richard and Dana moved to Swift Current where he became a sales rep. for the Swift Current Livestock Exchange. He had a large area from Swift Current to North Battleford, and as far east as the Manitoba border.

In the past, he also worked for Arcola, Whitewood and Weyburn Livestock. Richard’s knowledge and years of cattle experience paid off when he went to purchase cattle. He loved to showcase his cattle at Agribition. With all the hard work and hours spent getting the cattle ready, we used to ask him if it was worth it. His reply, “This is my holiday once a year!” Richard and Dana longed for their own farm, so in July 2016, along with their partner and nephew Alvin Mainprize, they bought a farm at Minton. Together, they established a nice herd of cattle which included some purebred. In the summer, when the cows were out to pasture, Richard and Dana did custom fencing. Along the way they made many lasting friends. Richard will be remembered for his great sense of humour, calm demeanor, a smile that would melt your heart, and lots of gentle kindness.

Richard was friends with everyone and was loved and appreciated by his family and friends. He will be deeply missed. Richard is predeceased by his father Marvin and niece Sharlynn Mainprize and both sets of his grandparents. He is lovingly remembered by his partner Dana; son Justin; mother Viola; sisters, Marie (Lorraine) Phenix, Marion Mainprize, Ross (Valerie) Gallinger; Dana’s children and grandchildren, Kolt, Jordyn and Tripp Tanner, Jay Large, Bella and Willow Dunning; as well as many nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, extended family and friends. Richard’s family wishes to thank everyone for their support, cards, flowers, gifts, food and hugs and everyone who came to share Richard’s celebration of life at the farm. Thanks to Lorne Ebel and Stacey Lund for reading the eulogy, written by Richard’s auntie Jean Lund, who has always had a special place in her heart for him. Richard will be missed deeply by his family and many friends.

Victor Edward Tremblay V i c t o r E d w a rd Tre m b l a y, late of Weyburn, SK, passed away August 21, 2017 at the age of 80 years. Victor was predeceased by his wife Vera (Schultz); son Mark Tremblay; father Lawrence Tremblay; mother and step-father: Nora and Roland Mongeon (Casavant); brothers: Edgar, Marcel, George along with sister Jeanne (Nimegeers).

Left to mourn him: son Blair along with his children: Tanner and Jordana Holmes (Campbell River, BC), Krystal Glowatski (Weyburn); daughters: Gail (Herve) Bellanger (Red Deer, AB) and their children Nate and Noelle; Sandie and children Erich, Maggie, Angie (Edmonton, AB). Vic is survived by his sister Joan Johnson (Bismark, ND); and brother Maurice (Edmonton, AB), as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. Vic was born the second of seven children and raised on a farm in the Archerwill area. In 1956 he came south to work on the pipelines and oil rigs. He married Vera Schultz in 1959 and began with Weyburn Sheet Metal and also farmed a half section of grain land in 1961 in the McTaggart area. Four children followed in 1960-1966. In 1965 the family moved to 5th Street in Weyburn. The McTaggart farm was sold in 1971. In 1972, he returned to farming four miles west of Weyburn and continued until he sold in April 1987. This farm is where the family holds the fondest of memories. For the next few years, Dad worked for several farmers and enjoyed his hunting, fishing and trapping seasons. He loved his sports too: men’s fastball, curling and of course the Sask. Roughriders! He was a founding member of the Weyburn Cloverleafs in 1966. In October 1992, he purchased a half section in the Pangman area where he took on the challenge of a cow-calf operation which he fully enjoyed and did well at. They sold and moved back to Weyburn in 2002 and finally retired. After mom’s passing in 2002, Vic enjoyed more of his hunting and fishing and visiting with his children and grandchildren. In June 2012, Vic moved to Hill Top Manor where he was well cared for until his passing. Many thanks to all who visited and cared for him during his last years. Cheers Dad! A nice cold Molson Canadian is waiting for you! Prayers for Victor were held Thursday, August 24, at 7:00 pm from St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church, Weyburn. A Mass of Christian Burial was held Friday, August 25, at 11:00 am from St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church, Weyburn, with Fr. Francis Plaparampil celebrant.

Active Pallbearers were: Roger Tremblay, Glen Schultz, Richard Wawro, Erich Lee, Herve Ballanger, and Gary Sidloski. Honorary Pallbearers were: Joe Honig and Norbert Schultz. Interment was held at Hillcrest Cemetery, Weyburn. Funeral lunch followed at the McKenna Hall, Weyburn. A special thanks to all the staff at Hill Top Manor and good friend Joe Honig for always being there! For family and friends so wishing, charitable donations in memory of Victor may be made to the Weyburn Wildlife Federation, Box 612, Weyburn, SK, S4H 2K7 or The Leukemia Society, 1202 Centre Street SE, Suite 110, Calgary, AB, T2G 5A5.

Indoor pool to close for renos

Library program makes science fun

Photo — Sabrina Kraft

A group of children received instructions on how to build a car from the materials provided, during the Go! Science program held at the Weyburn Public Library on Friday. The Go! Science program was the last activity for the Summer Reading Program. It included a number of fun activities that promoted science.

The Weyburn Leisure Centre’s outdoor swimming pool will be open for its last day on Sunday, Sept. 3, and there will be a two-week switch-over period before the indoor pool will open on Monday, Sept. 18.

Normally the Leisure Centre has a one-week switch-over period to allow for the filling of the pool, but city facilities staff want to completely replace the front counter reception area for the pool and will require the extra time to complete this work, said facilities manager Greg Button.

“The front counter is in bad shape, and it doesn’t really fit the needs of today, such as for registration for lessons, having extra computers, fridges and freezers. The plan is to replace that,” said Button, noting it will take the contractor four or five days to demolish the current counter area and clean it out.

The plans are then to

bring in new data lines for the computer stations and to rebuild the front area, which will retain the glassed-in area.

The indoor pool is also having the waterslide replaced, and Button expects this work will be done by the end of this week. He noted the old waterslide had been in place for about 20 or 25 years, and it was time to replace it to ensure a safe structure is in place.

The city staff took note of the waterslide problems experienced at Kenosee Lake this summer, and felt it was prudent to make sure they have a safe and reliable waterslide in place when the pool reopens on Sept. 18.

The staff had considered whether to refinish the slide or replace it, and found the costs were such that it just made more sense to replace it.

If all the work goes as planned, the indoor pool should reopen for their normal operating hours on Monday, Sept. 18.

Weyburn CMHA to host safeTALK

Go! Science program is held A large group of children build cars, while taking part in the Go! Science program at the Weyburn Public Library on Friday. Members of the Saskatchewan Science Centre facilitated the program, which ended the Summer Reading Program at the Weyburn Photo — Sabrina Kraft Public Library.

The Weyburn branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association will be holding a safeTALK workshop on Monday, September 11, in observance of World Suicide Prevention Day. The workshop will run for a half-day, from 1 to 4:30 p.m., and the cost is $65 per person.

This workshop will provide participants with tools to help move beyond common tendencies to miss, dismiss or avoid suicide; identify people who have thoughts of suicide; and apply the TALK steps (Tell, Ask, Listen and KeepSafe) to connect a person with suicide thoughts to suicide first aid and intervention caregivers.

Suicide Alertness for Everyone (safeTALK) is training that prepares anyone over the age of 15

to identify persons with thoughts of suicide and connect them to suicide first aid resources.

Most people with thoughts of suicide invite help to stay safe. Alert helpers know how to use these opportunities to support that desire for safety. Powerful video clips illustrate both nonalert and alert responses.

Discussion and practice help stimulate learning.

Participants can learn steps that contribute to saving lives.

For more information on the course, or to register for the workshop, residents can contact Tasha Collins at the Weyburn branch of the CMHA. Businesses, schools or organizations that would like to book a course can also contact Tasha at the Weyburn CMHA.

The Sask. Party released their first quarter results for the 2017-18 Saskatchewan Budget, stating that they have remained on track, with no change in the bottom-line forecast. “The Saskatchewan economy is performing well so far, and for the first time in two years is projected to post positive growth,” said Kevin Doherty, Finance Minister.

“We have more to accomplish, but at first quarter we are meeting our fiscal challenge by controlling spending and shifting away from over-reliance on volatile resource revenue,” said Doherty.

At first quarter, a deficit of $684.7 million is forecast, unchanged from budget. Revenue at first quarter is forecast to increase $42 million (0.3 per cent) from budget, while total expense is forecast to increase by about $82 million (0.6 per cent). As planned, part of the budget’s $300 million contingency—about $40 million—is being used to offset expense pressures. A further $125 million of the contingency is being used to offset compensation savings that, because of the time required for negotiations to continue, will not be achieved this fiscal year.

“The reason we built a contingency into this year’s

budget was to help address in-year pressures,” said Doherty. “We still have work to do to control government’s overall costs, including savings we are working hard to achieve in total compensation expense.”

Most key indicators for Saskatchewan’s economy have been positive so far in 2017, including: the thirdhighest growth among Canadian provinces in manufacturing sales; the third-highest growth in average weekly earnings; the third-highest growth in population; and the second-highest growth in new motor-vehicle sales. “Private sector forecasters have recognized strength in Saskatchewan’s economic performance and have increased real GDP growth forecasts for 2017 from an average of 1.7 per cent at budget to 2.1 per cent,” said Doherty.

“At first quarter, our government remains on track with our fiscal plan to return Saskatchewan’s budget to balance in three years, by 2019-20,” said Doherty. “We need to follow and achieve our plan to continue on our path of growth, and to provide the services, programs and infrastructure Saskatchewan people value and need — today and into the future.”

NDP claim that budget failures hurt families The New Democrat Party official opposition believe that the first quarter financial update, released by the Sask.

Party, benefit the Sask. Party more than Saskatchewan people. “You don’t need to be a financial expert to know they should not be bragging about blowing through half of the budgeted contingency fund in the first quarter of the year,” said Nicole Sarauer, interim NDP Leader.

“The Sask. Party’s attempts to spin the facts would be laughable if the consequences weren’t hurting Saskatchewan families so deeply.”

Even some of the Sask. Party’s adjustments in the update are unrealistic and unhelpful. “The Sask. Party is still banking on overly aggressive oil prices, on cutting $125 million from the pockets of public sector Saskatchewan workers, and hiking the PST on everything from kids’ clothes to insurance,” said Sarauer. “Throwing people out of work, cutting salaries and making life more expensive will hurt families and the economy even more.”

Despite Sask. Party claims to the contrary, RBC rates Saskatchewan’s GDP growth as the slowest in the country

outside of Atlantic Canada. The NDP have found many other key financial indicators that also showing that the Sask. Party’s mismanagement, scandal and waste are leaving Saskatchewan behind other provinces and forcing Saskatchewan people out of work. Under the Sask. Party, Saskatchewan is now: seventh for retail trade; seventh for housing starts; eighth for wholesale trade; eighth for building permits; ninth in the country for employment; and the Saskatchewan unemployment rate is higher than the national average for the first time since 1989.

“Despite years of boom, the Sask. Party is doubling the province’s debt in just five years. Today, instead of bragging about misrepresented numbers, they should be taking responsibility for their heartless cuts, unfair tax hikes, and desperate sell-offs,” said Sarauer.

“The Sask. Party must stop focusing on their own partisan aspirations, stop making Saskatchewan families pay the price, and start reversing their cuts and building back the economy. It’s clear they aren’t working for Saskatchewan people anymore.”

12 - The Review, Weyburn, Saskatchewan, August 30, 2017

STARS ‘rescues’ community leaders to raise more than $540,000 Local businessman Dan Cugnet was among a group of brave Saskatchewan business and community leaders that were airlifted by STARS air ambulance helicopters to an undisclosed, remote prairie location on Thursday, where they were left to raise enough money to secure their flight back to civilization.

More than $540,000 was raised by six Saskatchewan business and community leaders at the third annual Rescue on the Prairie fundraising event for STARS air ambulance.

To secure their ‘rescue’ and return to civilization, they needed to raise at least $50,000 each.

“I’m very proud to be a part of this event, and [proud of] the support of people who have donated to this, especially within my community,” said Weyburn area businessman Dan Cugnet. He raised $120,000 of the total.

“The STARS air ambulance is an amazing thing that I think everybody in this province gets behind.”

Each individual participated in a series of challenges, including a flight readiness race, a simulated medical scenario with four procedures

including an intubation and CPR on a mannequin; a fundraising challenge to see who could raise the most money over the phone in forty-five minutes; and a calf roping competition. Winners of the challenges received sponsored cash prizes to

tions to make Rescue on the Prairie so successful.

We are incredibly grateful for their generosity,” said Denise Belman, executive director of the STARS Foundation, Saskatchewan. “Our organization relies on community support to operate. Funds

The STARS air ambulance is an amazing thing that I think everybody in this province gets behind.

– Dan Cugnet go toward their individual fundraising totals.

The opportunity to learn more about STARS’ operations hands-on through the challenges enabled some of the participants to gain a deeper appreciation for the organization and its importance.

“For the third year in a row, our participants and the community have surpassed all expecta-

raised from this event will help us to keep more families and communities safe and intact.”

In Saskatchewan, STARS needs to raise 50 per cent of its operating funds — about $10.5 million annually — to operate the Regina and Saskatoon bases. This is achieved through corporate sponsorship, fundraising and community support.
