City taxes to increase 2.54% By Greg Nikkel Weyburn city council passed the 2018 budget for the City of Weyburn, with an increase on assessment of 2.54 per cent, down from an initial increase of 4.79 per cent, at their council meeting on Monday evening. At the previous meeting on Jan. 8, council was presented with the budget, and a list of some areas where savings could be made with cuts to trim the spending down if council wished. Following discussions over the past couple of weeks, council decided to cut an interest transfer to reserves by $50,000, to cut a request to buy new software for urban forestry worth $15,000, and to cut a request for a new floor for Public Works worth $70,000. This removed a total of $135,000 from the budget, leaving an increase from last year of $152,319 or 2.54 per cent. Earlier Monday, the budget increase was going to be 2.87 per cent, but this was trimmed down at council meeting. City manager Roy Hardy said the removal of the request for a new floor for Public Works was possible as a new public works building is slated to be built in the next couple of years, so it would not be a hardship to let this request go. Mayor Marcel Roy said to keep the increase this low was commendable when other municipalities will have much higher tax increases, such as Swift Current with a 13.5 per cent tax hike. He added this was good particularly “considering the budget cuts we had from the government.” A request from the Fire Department for new flooring in the Fire Hall in a high-traffic area was kept, which is an item worth $35,000, as was a request for consulting on repairs to the downtown street lights ($50,000), replacement of a storm sewer on Seventh Street West ($40,000), an aerator assessment ($20,000), a new police sign ($2,000), renovations to the library office ($8,000) and repairs to a floor in the Leisure Centre ($55,000). For the 2018 budget, the City will have revenues totalling $35,493,297, with taxes providing $10.2 million, along with grants, fees and charges, and internal transfers from other departments. Expenses total $28,656,751, and capital expenditures total just over $3 million. Capital purchases budgeted for this year include a police vehicle, equipment and an IT project, worth $114,000; a new ladder truck for the Fire Department worth $930,000 plus extrication equipment worth $16,500; works and parks projects totalling $460,000; facilities projects totalling $790,000, including $750,000 for building design for the new recreation-culture centre to be a part of the new elementary school; and a capital transfer for fleet vehicle purchases for the Works department worth a total of $695,000. Renovations or repairs to various city buildings will total $472,000, including $75,000 to City Hall. The purchase of the fire truck, the last major purchase for the Fire Department for the next several years, was approved after further discussion by council with Fire Chief Simon Almond. The purchase had been approved in 2017 to be a part of this year’s budget, and councillors wanted to make sure that this purchase could be justified. Chief Almond assured that this truck will not need to be replaced until the year 2033. The truck is replacing a unit that is about 17 years old, which is beyond the accepted normal lifespan for fire equipment of 15 years. The new truck will have a total estimated cost of $900,000 in Canadian dollars. The cab, chassis and body is worth $580,091 US, the changes to the demo unit for Weyburn’s needs is another $15,168 US, and equipment totalling $96,324 US, for a total of $691,583 US. Chief Almond said if they use an exchange rate of $1.24, this equates to a total of $857,563 in Canadian dollars. Asked what will happen to the truck being replaced, he said his initial thought was to keep it for training, while Mayor Roy suggested it might be stationed on the South Hill to help provide emergency service there in the event of a fire where the main department trucks are delayed by a freight train. He said trains cut off the South Hill from Fire Department access for about four to six hours a day. On the option to sell the truck, Chief Almond said the City wouldn’t get that much for it as the market for a 17-year-old fire truck is “somewhat limited”. The new truck will take about four weeks to be delivered.
Fighting the fire at Mryglod Steel
Review Photo 9089 — Greg Nikkel
A fire fighter was silhouetted as he worked at spraying down a fire in a pile of plastic-coated copper and aluminum wiring at Mryglod Steel on Wednesday evening, while a ladder hose sprayed down water to knock down the fire as it was very hot. Once the fire had been reduced somewhat, Mryglod used a power-claw machine to separate the piles so they could extinguish the fire. The Fire Department responded to the fire shortly after 8 p.m. after spotting it in the Mryglod compound during fire practice, and were on the scene until about 1:30 a.m. There were no injuries, and the cause is under investigation by the Fire Department.
Mryglod fire under investigation By Greg Nikkel The Weyburn Fire Department is continuing their investigation into the cause of the fire at Mryglod Steel and Metals on Wednesday evening. The fire fighters were out doing fire training on Wednesday evening at the Fire Hall on 16th Street, just south of where Mryglod Steel’s compound is located on Railway Avenue, and they spotted the fire shortly after 8 p.m., responding immediately with all five fire trucks and 26 fire fighters. The fire was located in a large pile of plastic-coated copper and aluminum scrap wiring, and at first the flames were high as it burned hot, making it difficult for fire fighters or staff to get very close, said Fire Chief Simon Almond. “We had to knock the fire down, as it was extremely hot,” he said, noting once the size of the fire was reduced, Mryglod’s was able to use an excavator with a metal claw to move in and separate the piles of scrap metal and wiring. “As of right now, we are unsure as to what started the fire. It was a pile of scrap that was on fire and was kept contained to a very small area within our yard,” said

Travis Mryglod in a statement released by the family on Thursday. “By 12:30 a.m., all fires had been put out and under control. The area was monitored until 3 a.m. and there were no hot spots, smoke or steam left at all. No one was injured, no property or equipment was damaged and cleanup is already underway,” said Mryglod, adding their gratitude for the fast response of the Fire Department, Weyburn Police Service and EMTs to the scene. “We are very grateful for all parties involved and the community for all of the kind words and support,” said the family in a statement. Chief Almond noted the fire fighters were very grateful that the weather was more moderate than the previous week, when the temperatures were in the range of -30 degrees. Asked if the Fire Commissioner’s Office would be involved, Chief Almond said he was going to call them for advice in regard to the investigation, but normally they would not be involved in the investigation as there was no large dollar loss or loss of life in this fire. Chief Almond added that he would be conducting the investigation for the Fire Department.

Annual report out for SE Cornerstone
By Norm Park, Southeast Cornerstone The annual report issued by the Southeast Cornerstone Public School Division on January 17, available online through their website, contains a wealth of information on not only the academic progress and current status of the division, but also a variety of social challenges the division faces on a regular basis. The report also includes complete details regarding their current and future financial status. Since the division has been faced with provincial government expectations of cuts or status quo financial patterns during the past three years, this part of the report tells its own story. The fact that no significant specialized programs have been eliminated, indicates a strong desire to maintain the certainty that no matter what the challenges are, the student and student programming always comes first, said the board of trustees and administration during the board meeting on Wednesday afternoon. The financial details were discussed during their November 2017 business session, yet the recently released annual report still contains a plethora of informational items that assist parents and the general public in understanding the scope and depth of the educational services provided in the public division and how it makes use of several community partnerships such as social services, health, justice and business. The business and cultural partners have included such agencies as the South East Regional Violence Threat Risk Community Protocol, South East Regional Industry Education Council, ArtSmart, Estevan Arts Council, Saskatchewan Safety Council, SaskTel and SaskPower. The role of School Community Councils is also covered in detail, including their growing importance in connecting their school to the community and the vast regional school division. Through a series of charts and graphs, the annual report bears information regarding results in reading programs, math and sciences including comparisons with provincial and national benchmarks. Those reports also note graduation rates for senior students and progress reports for those engaged in the early years intervention, elementary and middle years programs and projects. It is interesting to note the graduation rate for Cornerstone’s students is ahead of the provincial pace with the expectation of even more gradual improvements. The analysis and evaluation reports for each of these sectors, becomes an integral part of the annual report. This annual show and tell document includes reports on physical condition of their 37 school facilities, the growth in transportation needs, since more than half the students are regular riders on school buses, as well as the aforementioned financial details that showed revenue cuts in the past fiscal year of nearly $5 million, but a current deficit of just under $2 million based on $102.63 million in revenues.

Weyburn Humane Society working towards building a new shelter in city The Weyburn Humane Society will continue their fundraising efforts this year towards building a new animal shelter, supporters and board members heard at the society’s annual meeting on Wednesday evening. The organization installed their 10-member board at the meeting, along with hearing reports on how the society has done in the past year, including the fi-
nancial report. In her report as society president, Pam ArndtSchick paid tribute to the volunteers and the fundraising efforts that had been held over the past year, helping keep their operations going, and helping raise funds for their new shelter. The board visited two possible sites for a new shelter in November and December, said ArndtSchick. “Our biggest goal this year is to fundraise and be able to put money aside for our new shelter, as our current shelter is deteriorating more and more, year after year, and more space is definitely needed. We hope to one day soon have a new

shelter,” she said. After the board looked at a couple of possible new locations, she said, “when we recrunched our numbers, we thought it best to hang on for a bit and keep in saving.” The Humane Society has managed to receive enough funds from fundraising and from community donations to keep going with their operations in taking in cats and dogs, and adopting them out to new homes. “It’s so nice to see when our shelter needs help, the community comes together and provides for us,” said Arndt-Schick. The fundraisers in the past year have included their giant garage sale and a smaller one, bake sales and the “Raise the Woof” comedy fundraiser. “January is the month when we get together and plan the various fundraising events for the year. We are excited to get 2018 going,” said Arndt-Schick. She noted the shelter is managed by Colleen Morrice, who oversees the staffing, and makes sure the vehicle maintenance is done, vet trips for the cats and dogs are arranged for, and any building repairs are completed. “She keeps the shelter in tip-top shape, and along with the staff keeps the animals healthy, clean

and exercised,” said ArndtSchick, noting they had a visit from the SPCA who declared the Weyburn shelter “as the cleanest and best-smelling shelter in the province.” Currently, the Humane Society has five dogs and 21 cats, she said, providing the statistics for the past year. There were 152 cats adopted this year with seven adoptions returned, 32 were farm cats, and 42 cats were claimed by their owners after being picked up. A total of 15 cats were euthanized this past year. There were 39 dogs adopted, 126 dogs were reclaimed by their owners, four were returned adoptions and eight were relinquished to the shelter by their owners. One dog was euthanized. In total, the Humane Society had 333 calls for animal control in 2017, including two rabbits, a turtle, a reptile and a guinea hen. This year’s board includes Arndt-Schick returning as the president, Cindy Ann Boehm as vicepresident, Pat Anderson as secretary-treasurer and Morrice as shelter manager.

Economic survey uncovers facts of interest on city Weyburn’s Economic Development office will have an interesting and busy 2018, city council was told by Twila Walkeden, the executive director for the office and for the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce, on Monday evening. “2018 will be a busy and exciting year for us. My sense is that the economic downturn is behind us. I’ve come today to highlight the ways we can provide investment opportunities,” said Walkeden, giving a preview to an economic development study carried out in 2017 for release later this month. She said the survey results will be a “game-changer” for the city and for investors, as it will provide in-depth research into the city’s economic health, with some surprising numbers turning up. For example, Weyburn’s median age has gone down by seven per cent, which is three times more than any other city in Saskatchewan, and puts the median age 2.5 years below the Canadian average. “This statistic demonstrates we have a large population of young people,” said Walkeden, which provides “potenetial for growth in the community.” In addition, Weyburn is home to nearly 1,000 immigrants, 60 per cent of whom have moved here since 2010, and the estimated annual spending by Weyburn consumers is $278 million, and around $1 billion for the Weyburn region. Of this spending, $36.4 million is spent in the retail food market, with one-third of that spent in local restaurants. “National food chains should contemplate these statistics alone,” said Walkeden, going on to note that the Weyburn area would also be highly advantageous for manufacturers looking for a strategic location to move into, considering Weyburn’s proximity to major trade routes, the CP Rail line and to the Global Transportation Hub. Tourism is also another area of potential growth for Weyburn, she added, and the office is looking at the possibility of a destination marketing fund or DMF, which hotels and motels in larger cities charge. The purpose of such a fund is to help promote and market the city and events in the city to tourism markets to encourage visitors to consider coming to the Weyburn area, said Walkeden.

provide quotes to do the electrical and instrumentation portion of the work. Two of the firms are from Saskatoon and one is from Regina, with additional work associated with this tender to be added by Westridge in the amount of $267,852. The tender bids for the electrical work ranged from $1.437 million to $1.524 million, and none of these amounts were included in the price for Contract 2. Westridge also estimates this will add two months to the timeline of the project, with project completion now estimated for March 15, 2019. Councillors expressed unhappiness that no local electrical firms were invited to bid on this work, and were told that in Westridge’s estimation, no local electrical contractors were qualified to do this work. Coun. Brad Wheeler, who works in the oilfield, said he knows of two local companies who easily handle complex electrical and instrumentation work, and questioned what standards Westridge is using. Mayor Marcel Roy said there seems to be “a closed group” of big-city contractors, and asked that administration and engineering look into this situation. City manager Roy Hardy said council had the option to table this request, to allow time for city engineer Nader Keshta and himself to sit down with project manager AECOM, and with Westridge, to talk about this matter before bringing it back for a vote, and council agreed.

OPINION
4 - The Review, Weyburn, Saskatchewan, January 24, 2018
E Modest tax hike will be good for city
T
he city’s property tax bills will have a marginal increase in 2018 after city council passed its budget on Monday evening, with a 2.54 per cent increase. This is a smaller increase than was proposed in the draft budget, when the increase was going to be 4.79 per cent, and it will maintain the city’s current level of service to residents and businesses. In earlier discussions, councillors voiced the opinion that they would be willing to accept a larger increase “if absolutely necessary”, but they did not follow through on this as they were willing to cut a few additional items to bring the tax increase down. Among the items cut was an amount to be put into reserves, reduced from $100,000 to $50,000, a software package for urban forestry worth $15,000, and a proposed replacement of flooring for Public Works worth $70,000. The Works floor project was deemed expendable as the city’s long-term plans are to replace the storage building in a few years time. As the city and area has seen an economic downturn the last few years, this was a good move to keep the tax increase to a minimal level. Earlier in the same meeting, council heard some interesting numbers about Weyburn’s economic health and demographics, including that spending by the Weyburn region is around $1 billion a year, with annual spending by city residents at $278 million, and $36.4 million in the retail food market. Fully one-third of that latter amount is spent at city restaurants. What does all this mean? It shows there are signs of economic health in Weyburn and area, and that there is potential for growth and expansion as well, considering Weyburn has a relatively young population with a strong representation of new Canadians, with about 1,000 immigrants now calling Weyburn home. The figures provided by economic development officer Twila Walkeden shows Weyburn’s median age has gone down by seven per cent, which is three times more than any other city in the province, and puts the city’s median age 2.5 years lower than the national average. This shows there is value in being fiscally prudent with the city budget, as it enables the young, growing population to keep spending, and for investors to take a look at putting some money behind the fifth-best community in Canada, and the best community on the Prairies. More investment will mean more jobs, more opportunities, and for the city, more tax revenue. — Greg Nikkel

Is Pierre’s son a dictator? My Nikkel’s Worth By Greg Nikkel Email: editor@weyburnreview.com
The mention of “Prime Minister Trudeau” used to have a very negative connotation in Western Canada in the 1970s and 80s, and now Pierre’s son is in control and is seeming to want to impose his beliefs on the rest of Canada. Never mind that our PM has a following of young females and loves doing selfies (that should say something about him, don’t you think?), but he has a very nasty dictatorial streak that has been exhibited in a couple of areas. Take the carbon tax as an example. Our premier, Brad Wall, has rightly opposed this as a bad and negative thing for our economy, but Trudeau wants it imposed anyway, not caring there is a hurting oil and gas sector here that would be hurt even deeper than it already has been by an extended downturn in the price of oil. The province put forward a climate change policy that addresses the very issue the federal government allegedly wants to deal with, but the feds are saying that this policy is not enough, because Saskatchewan has the temerity not to impose a carbon tax. A second very disturbing trend towards dictatorship is Trudeau’s conditions on federal grants, which affects things like providing money for summer students. This affects non-profit organizations and groups who rely on grants for hiring summer students, among other things — but first, those
applying for these federal grants, both applicants and employers, have to sign a document to attest that they support women’s reproductive rights, and the rights of gender-diverse and transgender Canadians. This is bringing an irrelevant issue to bear into an area it doesn’t belong. I’m not saying the rights of gender-diverse and transgender Canadians aren’t important — but it has absolutely nothing to do with an organization wanting to hire a high school or university kid for a summer job. Same with women’s reproductive rights — tell me please, in what universe does your belief in abortion have to do with getting a summer job? This is highly offensive, bringing in issues like these and making them a condition for providing federal grants. This is nothing short of dictatorial, to impose beliefs onto groups and basically blackmailing them. It’s very much like the editorial cartoon depicts just above my column here, where people are asked to drop their principles and beliefs, or else you’re out of luck, and you won’t get any money to hire a summer student. So am I really nuts for calling Justin a dictator? I mean, he’s not exactly Noriega or Idi Amin, but I have to say, imposing his beliefs and policies for us Canadians to follow just does not sit well with me. What do you think?
Letter to the Editor:
Canadian Cancer Society says aggressive action needed to curb tobacco To the Editor: What is Canada’s leading preventable cause of disease and death? It’s tobacco. This week is National Non-Smoking Week, providing a reminder that tobacco is still our number one public health issue. Smoking kills 45,000 Canadians every year and is responsible for about 30 per cent of all cancer deaths. Based on the number of Canadians it kills, tobacco should be treated as an epidemic. It is well established that comprehensive, well-financed and sustained government strategies are highly effective at reducing smoking.
With the current Federal Tobacco Control Strategy expiring in March 2018, we urge federal Minister of Health Ginette Petitpas Taylor to bring forward an aggressive new strategy with far better funding to achieve the goal of less than five per cent tobacco use by 2035. Canada has made significant progress but an enormous amount of work remains. The lives of a vast number of Canadians hang in the balance. Rob Cunningham Senior Policy Analyst Canadian Cancer Society

The corps meets every Tuesday evening at the Legion, and welcome any new members, or a visit from anyone interesting in learning more about them.
Weyburn Army Cadets volunteer at the Legion The local Weyburn Army Cadet Corps, 2302 RCACC, volunteered to help serve wings and clean up during the Legion’s Wing night, as part of a community service activity. One of the aims of the Cadet Movement is to instill good citizenship, and these cadets showed it Tuesday night. “These cadets are the most respectful and pleasant to work with,” said Captain Nicholas Haines, Commanding Officer of 2302 RCACC. “They take each task or activity and embrace it. They understand the meaning of giving back and it allows them to show their leadership and teamwork skills.” The 2302 Weyburn Legion Army Cadets is a free program to join for anyone between the ages of 12-18. The corps teaches the cadets about leadership, citizenship, and stimulates an interest in the Canadian Armed Forces activities. For more information, those interested can come every Tuesday night to the Legion, and speak with the cadets about their experience, or contact Capt. Haines by emailing him at nhaines@dukeofed.org.
Special service of affirmation held
Photo 0983 — Marj McLeod
Bernice Jaster, centre, was confirmed in a special service of affirmation on Jan. 14 at Zion Lutheran Church, after she completed the confirmation classes she had begun as a young girl. Confirming her was Pastor Victoria Mwamasika, the new pastor at Zion Lutheran (left) and lay pastor Marj McLeod. Bernice had begun confirmation classes with a circuit pastor in the Gladmar-Minton area, but he left before she was confirmed, and over the years she had always wanted to finish what she had started.
Weyburn woman confirmed in her 80s A special service of affirmation of baptism was held on Jan. 14 at Zion Lutheran Church as Bernice Jaster, now in her 80s, completed her confirmation studies. Bernice began her confirmation as a young girl, when a circuit pastor who served the Gladmar-Minton area came to Black Forest School and held confirmation classes. The pastor left before Bernice was confirmed. Her mother continued to teach Bernice, but she was never confirmed. Confirmation was always on Bernice’s mind, and a
friend of hers encouraged her to take classes again, so Bernice approached the confirmation instructor at Zion Lutheran. Adult classes began and were completed. Bernice was confirmed on Jan. 14 and received as a member at Zion Lutheran Church by Pastor Victoria Mwamasika. Bernice chose for her confirmation the Bible verse John 3:16, which reads, “For God so loved the world he gave his only son so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”

A close chance on net for the Gold Wings
Review Photo 9501 — Greg Nikkel
Gold Wings players Janissa Cooley, No. 12, and Kaitlyn Harrison (at right) tried to get at the loose puck to score a goal on the Regina Rebels, during midget girls hockey league action on Friday evening at Crescent Point Place. The Rebels ended up with a win over the Gold Wings by a score of 7-1.
Red Wings lose ground to Bruin rivals The Weyburn Red Wings lost some ground in the standings over the weekend, after they lost back-to-back games to their Highway 39 rivals, the Estevan Bruins, who remain on top of the Viterra Division with 54 points to Weyburn’s 48. The Red Wings travelled to Estevan on Friday night and were trounced 6-1 in front of 1,426 fans at Affinity Place. Weyburn’s lone goal came on the powerplay in the third period, as Cade Kowalski scored unassisted. Goalie Arik Weersink was in for the first period, facing 10 shots and letting in three goals, then he was replaced by Liam McCloskey who faced 20 shots and let in three goals. The Wings took 35 shots on Estevan’s net. The Bruins then were hosted in Weyburn on Saturday night, and the visitors won 5-3 in front of 950 fans at Crescent Point Place. Weyburn opened scoring in the first period, when Ben Hiltz scored at 3:31, with assists going to Cole Woodliffe and Garrett Szeremley. Estevan scored a pair of goals before the Red Wings responded late in the period, when Mike Eskra scored on an assist from Landon Walters to tie the game. The Bruins notched two powerplay goals in the second period, and Eskra scored halfway through the third period with assists to Kowalski and Hiltz to make it 4-3. Estevan scored an empty-netter on the powerplay with 10 seconds left in the game to come away with their second win over the Wings for the weekend. Weersink was in goal for the entire game, facing 35 shots to 19 shots on the Estevan net. The Red Wings will host the Melville Millionaires on Friday, Jan. 26, at Crescent Point Place, and then Notre Dame will visit on Tuesday, Jan. 30 for a rare midweek game.

weekend in Weyburn, and included a tribute to the team billet families prior to the start of the game. Weyburn’s lone goal came from Rheanne Peigan on the powerplay, with assists going to Kierson Hennes and Payton Mabee. Peigan was named the game’s second star. Goaltender Daneka Dickson tended net for the first two periods, facing 36 shots, while Amara Lewendon was put in for the third period, and she faced 17 shots. The girls travelled north to take on the Battlefords Sharks for games on Satur-
day and Sunday, and were defeated 7-2 in the first game and then were edged out 3-2 in the second game. In the game on Saturday, Weyburn’s Sierra Meroniuk scored in the first period on an assist from Kierson Hennes, and then Hennes scored on the powerplay in the third period on an assist from Kaitlyn Harrison. Hennes was named as the game’s second star. Lewendon was the goaltender for the game, facing 43 shots to 24 shots on the Sharks net. In Sunday’s game, Jayden Lindholm scored in the first
period to tie the game, with the assist from Katelyn Blair. After two more goals from the Sharks, the Gold Wings’ Janna Keisig scored, with Blair assisting, and there was no scoring in the third period. Goalie Daneka Dickson was in net for the entire game, facing 38 shots to 25 shots on the Sharks net. Dickson was named the game’s second star for her efforts in net. The Gold Wings will next play the Notre Dame Hounds in Wilcox on Saturday, Jan. 27, with the game starting at 4 p.m.

Comp junior boys win home tourney The Weyburn Comp Eagles junior boys basketball team won their home tournament over the weekend, winning all four games to claim first place. They began the tournament against the Estevan Elecs on Thursday evening, and beat them 68-44 in the Cugnet Centre. The Eagles defeated Yorkton Regional by a score of 86-51, Moose Jaw Peacock by a score of 85-50, and edged out Swift Current by a score of 73-72. The Comp senior boys travelled to Melfort for a weekend tournament, and brought home the silver medal after advancing to the final. The senior boys beat Humboldt 105-52, defeated Meadow Lake 98-63 and advanced to the final, where Weyburn lost to Moose Jaw Central 100-84. The Comp Eagles senior girls took part in a tournament in Moose Jaw, and lost a tough first game against PA St Mary’s, 57-39. “Although our defence was amazing, and we caused lots of turnovers with our press, we just could not score,” said coach Karly Johnson. On the consolation side, the girls’ next opponent was Middle Lake. This game was back and forth, and even went into overtime. The Eagles finally turned it on, scoring eight points in the first minute of overtime, beating Middle Lake 60-52. On Saturday, the girls faced Humboldt, bringing another top-notch defensive win, defeating them by a score of 43-24. The last game of the night was the consolation final against Yorkton Regional. The Eagles won 53-37. When the girls come back from first semester finals, they will be heading to Melfort for the weekend of Feb. 2-3, and then to North Battleford Feb. 9-10. The senior boys will be in Yorkton on Feb. 2-3, and both the junior girls and boys teams will be at a tournament in Moose Jaw, with the freshman boys heading to a tournament in St. Brieux.

Comp Eagles player Zach Olson led the rush down the court before attempting a basket in the opening game for the junior boys basketball team’s home tournament on Thursday evening in the Cugnet Centre, when they played the Estevan Elecs junior boys team. The host Eagles won the game by a score of 69-44.
Minor Football to hold fundraiser event Weyburn Minor Football will hold a fundraiser event with a Super Bowl party on Sunday, Feb. 4, at the Weyburn Legion Hall. This past year, Minor Football opened their new second field adjacent to Darold Kot Field on the Comp School grounds, with the installation of lights to allow for night games. The organization is now fundraising to build a two-storey structure for the announcers and equipment storage, and are hoping to be able to put the building up this spring, said Jody Kerr of Weyburn Minor Football. He also accepted a donation from the Young Fellows Club for $12,500 on Thursday, as a five-year team sponsorship for the bantam Falcons football team, to help pay for their jerseys and equipment. Kerr noted the team had almost 60 players sign up for the bantam team, and by the end of the season the number was just under 50 due to injuries. Minor Football is hoping to put up a 24-by-30 foot structure with two storeys, with storage space on the ground floor, as the current storage facility at Jubilee Park is very cramped, said Kerr. He noted they were able to get the sound system from the former Weyburn Junior High, and they are hoping to have it installed along with the space for announcers and Access TV cameras on the second floor. “There’s a lot of equipment in that old building,” said Kerr. “We’ll still be at Jubilee Park this summer.” The Super Bowl party will include the game shown on TVs supplied by New Age Electronics, snacks and drinks. Tickets are $30 each for adults, or $15 for children 12 and under, and are available from Kerr, at Olympia Fitness or from any Minor Football board member. All proceeds from this event will go towards the building of the new structure.

Learning about inflammatory bowel diseases at health symposium
Review Photo 9221 — Greg Nikkel
Teacher Kelly Glaspey chatted with Grade 11 students Solomiya Shkapoyid and Chrisgia Fesalbon about their display about colitis and Crohn’s disease, both inflammatory bowel diseases, at the Anatomy and Health Symposium held on Thursday morning in the Cugnet Centre. Fesalbon custom-made the T-shirts the night before for the girls to wear to display the inner body systems that are involved.

Checking out daughter’s display at symposium
Review Photo 9198 — Greg Nikkel
Grade 11 student Abbey Johnson showed off her display on blood disorders and uses, along with her partner Emma Wiens, as she chatted with her mother, Jodi Johnson, who teaches Grades 8/9 at St. Michael School. The displays were set up for the Anatomy and Health Sumposium on Thursday morning at the Cugnet Centre for the Health and Wellness class, and many classes from the Comp and from other schools in the city toured through to see the displays.
A training workshop for volunteers who want to deal with people with thoughts of suicide will be held by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) on Friday, Feb. 23. The safeTALK workshop provides training for anyone over the age of 15 to help identify people who may be suicidal and help them to connect with suicide first aid resources. As a safeTALK-trained suicide alert helper, people will be better able to move beyond the common tendencies to miss, dismiss or avoid suicide, to identify people who have thoughts of suicide, and to apply the “talk” steps to connect a person with intervention caregivers. TALK is an acronym for “tell, ask, listen and keep-safe”. Oftentimes people with thoughts of suicide invited help to stay safe, and alert helpers know how to use these opportunities to support that desire for safety. The training session will include powerful video clips to illustrate both non-alert and alert responses, and discussion and practice help stimulate learning. The workshop will run from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the CMHA building at 404 Ashford Street on Feb. 23. The cost is $50 per person. There will be certificates and participant materials provided. For more information about participating, contact Tasha Collins at the CMHA office at 306-842-7959 or email to tashac@cmhask.com. The course can also be booked for a business, school or family by contacting Tasha at the same number. A minimum of 10 participants is required.

By Norm Park, SE Cornerstone It is often the case of just doing a little bit extra that will boost a youngster from a world of failure into an environment of success on the educational front. To that end, Cheryl Anderson and Tracey Kiliwnik, coordinators of student services and learning supports respectively, provided Southeast Cornerstone Public School Division board members with information that suggested this was happening in southeast Saskatchewan’s public school system. With teams of educational psychologists, speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, student counsellors and other consultants and programs such as literacy intervention and wideranging methods for diagnosis, young students are able to receive a huge leg up when it comes to advancing their educational experiences. Kiliwnik noted there are 184 identified intensive needs students pre-kindergarten through Grade 12 this academic year. Anderson added that important partnerships have been forged with other agencies to not only gather information but also to provide different programs. Student profiles are built to discover the youngster’s weaknesses and strengths and the school support systems make use of both divisional and outside agencies to achieve targets. “By doing these assessments we can find gaps or missing pieces and sometimes it’s just a matter of that student not having been tested for hearing or vision challenges. Intensive needs students across the division now number 184,” said Anderson, adding there are 67 in the Tier 2 category who require overseer supports. “We also have 40 students with complex medical problems and others with complex behavioural issues,” said Kiliwnik. Autism has been diagnosed in 43 students and another 13 have bipolar or depressive issues and they receive assistance from the school division’s support team.c The two even noted that English as an Additional Language students, who number 574 this school

year (including pre-kindergarten and kindergarten) within a student population of about 8,300, require special attention. They noted how classroom educators are now even better prepared to deal with EAL students and have lessened the load on the EAL consultants as a result. By having the families getting involved in the practices and programs, the intervention process works even more smoothly, they suggested. The partnerships include professionals in the mental and social services sectors as well as justice, medical and settlement consultants. The two coordinators outlined on screen how they developed student success profiles, labelling it as an evergreen document that reflects a student’s needs. It is a collaborative form that leads and supports conversations throughout the student’s journey through the educational system with evidence-based documentation. The two coordinators also led the board members through the Review 360 program. This is viewed as a solution to help staff reduce such issues as student suspensions, reduce bullying, and generally improve behaviours to improve the school climate. The program gives teachers information on implementing support systems, best practices for approaching common behavioural issues, and giving them the ability to track and monitor inclusion rates, among other things. “The foundation of Review 360 includes five steps: track, aggregate, analyze, intervene and communicate interventions,” Anderson said. New to the southeast region this year are two Settlement Workers in Schools. These SWIS workers work with both SECPSD and Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Division to support new EAL families in the area. The two also touched on the Jordan’s Principle plan that has come into use just recently for students aged six through 17. The program offers support for families to get transportation to medical appointments, to find secure childcare, find family-driven solutions by encouraging them to connect with qualified service providers for physical, mental, spiritual and cultural issues and to assist families through difficult times. The current caseload regarding Jordan’s Principle applications within the First Nations communities now numbers 14 youngsters. The variety of student services found within this structure was to be welcomed and admired, said board chairwoman Audrey Trombley.

New party leader and premier, to be decided on Jan. 27
Five candidates vie for Sask Party leadership
Gord Wyant By Greg Nikkel The leadership race for the Saskatchewan Party will come down to the vote on Saturday, Jan. 27, in Saskatoon, with five candidates vying to win the post being vacated by Premier Brad Wall. The candidates include former Justice minister Gord Wyant, former minister Ken Cheveldayoff, former political science instructor Tina Beaudry-Mellor, former Environment minister Scott Moe, and cabinet secretary and former deputy minister of Agriculture Alanna Koch. All of the candidates have individually visited Weyburn, and the candi-
Ken Cheveldayoff dates held a debate forum in Weyburn on Nov. 30, bringing the race for leader to the Sask. Party members and residents of the Weyburn area. Rob Clarke, who was part of the candidates forum, dropped out of the leadership race in December and threw his support behind Cheveldayoff. Cheveldayoff was just recently in Weyburn for a quick stop, and was asked how he thinks his campaign is going as the voting day approaches. “I feel I’m going to be on the final ballot. I’m really encouraged by the support I’ve been receiving,” he said, noting he will be

busy door-knocking as long as he is able, visiting areas of strength for the party. “In Weyburn, we have a great deal of strength,” said Cheveldayoff, noting that party members want a leader who is strong and who has a proven track record of winning elections, so they can lead the party into the next election in 2020. Wyant has been reminding party supporters of the party’s foundational principles and is asking them to return to those principles. He said he has been hearing a number of concerns related to the budget released in the spring, and noted there
is a perception the party has drifted somewhat away from the centre. “I want to make sure the party continues to govern from the centre,” he said, adding that concerns about infrastructure has come up a lot as he has been attending r eg i o n a l m e e t i n g s f o r SUMA along with campaign stops around the province. There are a few things that Beaudry-Mellor feels are important, that if elected as the new leader she would address. “Balancing the budget is very, very important. There is a lot of work that we need to do, especially around what getting back to ‘balanced’

on international trade and exports which would include stakeholders representing the province’s exporting businesses and industries. In his proposal, the Premier’s Council “would provide input on a strategic trade missions plan that will map out how Saskatchewan’s government can develop and grow relationships that are crucial for increasing our private sector’s international exports,” he said. The new minister is proposed to be responsible for international trade and exports, and will be mandated with establishing the province’s presence in the countries that account for the largest share of Saskatchewan’s exports. In spite of the challenges to the economy, Moe said the plan is to bring the budget back to a balanced state within three years. Some of Koch’s platform points include creating a competitive business environment, promoting free market solutions, taking care of the most vulnerable in society, making science-based decisions, running a fiscally responsible government, and ensuring all Saskatchewan residents benefit from the province’s growth and prosperity. On the province’s finances, Koch said she wants to see a return to a balanced budget, but feels it will take a year longer than Premier Wall had initially set out, and she wants to revisit the provincial sales tax on insurance, saying this was something the party should have considered more carefully before putting into the budget. “I think this leadership race was one of the best things to happen, as we’re seeing a lot of young people get involved,” said Koch, noting she’s learned from her two daughters (aged 21 and 24) that involvement via social media will be a key to reaching teens and young adults. The leadership convention is being held at the Prairieland Park Convention Centre in Saskatoon, and the first announcement of results is expected to be made around 6 p.m. on Jan. 27, with first speech by the new premier to follow.

Annual report out for SE Cornerstone
By Norm Park, Southeast Cornerstone The annual report issued by the Southeast Cornerstone Public School Division on January 17, available online through their website, contains a wealth of information on not only the academic progress and current status of the division, but also a variety of social challenges the division faces on a regular basis. The report also includes complete details regarding their current and future financial status. Since the division has been faced with provincial government expectations of cuts or status quo financial patterns during the past three years, this part of the report tells its own story. The fact that no significant specialized programs have been eliminated, indicates a strong desire to maintain the certainty that no matter what the challenges are, the student and student programming always comes first, said the board of trustees and administration during the board meeting on Wednesday afternoon. The financial details were discussed during their November 2017 business session, yet the recently released annual report still contains a plethora of informational items that assist parents and the general public in understanding the scope and depth of the educational services provided in the public division and how it makes use of several community partnerships such as social services, health, justice and business. The business and cultural partners have included such agencies as the South East Regional Violence Threat Risk Community Protocol, South East Regional Industry Education Council, ArtSmart, Estevan Arts Council, Saskatchewan Safety Council, SaskTel and SaskPower. The role of School Community Councils is also covered in detail, including their growing importance in connecting their school to the community and the vast regional school division. Through a series of charts and graphs, the annual report bears information regarding results in reading programs, math and sciences including comparisons with provincial and national benchmarks. Those reports also note graduation rates for senior students and progress reports for those engaged in the early years intervention, elementary and middle years programs and projects. It is interesting to note the graduation rate for Cornerstone’s students is ahead of the provincial pace with the expectation of even more gradual improvements. The analysis and evaluation reports for each of these sectors, becomes an integral part of the annual report. This annual show and tell document includes reports on physical condition of their 37 school facilities, the growth in transportation needs, since more than half the students are regular riders on school buses, as well as the aforementioned financial details that showed revenue cuts in the past fiscal year of nearly $5 million, but a current deficit of just under $2 million based on $102.63 million in revenues.

Weyburn Humane Society working towards building a new shelter in city The Weyburn Humane Society will continue their fundraising efforts this year towards building a new animal shelter, supporters and board members heard at the society’s annual meeting on Wednesday evening. The organization installed their 10-member board at the meeting, along with hearing reports on how the society has done in the past year, including the fi-
nancial report. In her report as society president, Pam ArndtSchick paid tribute to the volunteers and the fundraising efforts that had been held over the past year, helping keep their operations going, and helping raise funds for their new shelter. The board visited two possible sites for a new shelter in November and December, said ArndtSchick. “Our biggest goal this year is to fundraise and be able to put money aside for our new shelter, as our current shelter is deteriorating more and more, year after year, and more space is definitely needed. We hope to one day soon have a new

shelter,” she said. After the board looked at a couple of possible new locations, she said, “when we recrunched our numbers, we thought it best to hang on for a bit and keep in saving.” The Humane Society has managed to receive enough funds from fundraising and from community donations to keep going with their operations in taking in cats and dogs, and adopting them out to new homes. “It’s so nice to see when our shelter needs help, the community comes together and provides for us,” said Arndt-Schick. The fundraisers in the past year have included their giant garage sale and a smaller one, bake sales and the “Raise the Woof” comedy fundraiser. “January is the month when we get together and plan the various fundraising events for the year. We are excited to get 2018 going,” said Arndt-Schick. She noted the shelter is managed by Colleen Morrice, who oversees the staffing, and makes sure the vehicle maintenance is done, vet trips for the cats and dogs are arranged for, and any building repairs are completed. “She keeps the shelter in tip-top shape, and along with the staff keeps the animals healthy, clean

and exercised,” said ArndtSchick, noting they had a visit from the SPCA who declared the Weyburn shelter “as the cleanest and best-smelling shelter in the province.” Currently, the Humane Society has five dogs and 21 cats, she said, providing the statistics for the past year. There were 152 cats adopted this year with seven adoptions returned, 32 were farm cats, and 42 cats were claimed by their owners after being picked up. A total of 15 cats were euthanized this past year. There were 39 dogs adopted, 126 dogs were reclaimed by their owners, four were returned adoptions and eight were relinquished to the shelter by their owners. One dog was euthanized. In total, the Humane Society had 333 calls for animal control in 2017, including two rabbits, a turtle, a reptile and a guinea hen. This year’s board includes Arndt-Schick returning as the president, Cindy Ann Boehm as vicepresident, Pat Anderson as secretary-treasurer and Morrice as shelter manager.

Tayla Lynn, centre, the granddaughter of country music legend Loretta Lynn, sang “Blue Kentucky Girl”, accompanied by her band, and Weyburn girl Ady Jackson, at right, playing her acoustic guitar. Tayla was in Weyburn on Sunday evening for a concert at the Cugnet Centre along with Tre Twitty, the grandson of Conway Twitty. Each performer did songs of their grandparents, and also performed some of the duets that Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn did during their careers.
Economic survey uncovers facts of interest on city Weyburn’s Economic Development office will have an interesting and busy 2018, city council was told by Twila Walkeden, the executive director for the office and for the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce, on Monday evening. “2018 will be a busy and exciting year for us. My sense is that the economic downturn is behind us. I’ve come today to highlight the ways we can provide investment opportunities,” said Walkeden, giving a preview to an economic development study carried out in 2017 for release later this month. She said the survey results will be a “game-changer” for the city and for investors, as it will provide in-depth research into the city’s economic health, with some surprising numbers turning up. For example, Weyburn’s median age has gone down by seven per cent, which is three times more than any other city in Saskatchewan, and puts the median age 2.5 years below the Canadian average. “This statistic demonstrates we have a large population of young people,” said Walkeden, which provides “potenetial for growth in the community.” In addition, Weyburn is home to nearly 1,000 immigrants, 60 per cent of whom have moved here since 2010, and the estimated annual spending by Weyburn consumers is $278 million, and around $1 billion for the Weyburn region. Of this spending, $36.4 million is spent in the retail food market, with one-third of that spent in local restaurants. “National food chains should contemplate these statistics alone,” said Walkeden, going on to note that the Weyburn area would also be highly advantageous for manufacturers looking for a strategic location to move into, considering Weyburn’s proximity to major trade routes, the CP Rail line and to the Global Transportation Hub. Tourism is also another area of potential growth for Weyburn, she added, and the office is looking at the possibility of a destination marketing fund or DMF, which hotels and motels in larger cities charge. The purpose of such a fund is to help promote and market the city and events in the city to tourism markets to encourage visitors to consider coming to the Weyburn area, said Walkeden.

provide quotes to do the electrical and instrumentation portion of the work. Two of the firms are from Saskatoon and one is from Regina, with additional work associated with this tender to be added by Westridge in the amount of $267,852. The tender bids for the electrical work ranged from $1.437 million to $1.524 million, and none of these amounts were included in the price for Contract 2. Westridge also estimates this will add two months to the timeline of the project, with project completion now estimated for March 15, 2019. Councillors expressed unhappiness that no local electrical firms were invited to bid on this work, and were told that in Westridge’s estimation, no local electrical contractors were qualified to do this work. Coun. Brad Wheeler, who works in the oilfield, said he knows of two local companies who easily handle complex electrical and instrumentation work, and questioned what standards Westridge is using. Mayor Marcel Roy said there seems to be “a closed group” of big-city contractors, and asked that administration and engineering look into this situation. City manager Roy Hardy said council had the option to table this request, to allow time for city engineer Nader Keshta and himself to sit down with project manager AECOM, and with Westridge, to talk about this matter before bringing it back for a vote, and council agreed.

OPINION
4 - The Review, Weyburn, Saskatchewan, January 24, 2018
E Modest tax hike will be good for city
T
he city’s property tax bills will have a marginal increase in 2018 after city council passed its budget on Monday evening, with a 2.54 per cent increase. This is a smaller increase than was proposed in the draft budget, when the increase was going to be 4.79 per cent, and it will maintain the city’s current level of service to residents and businesses. In earlier discussions, councillors voiced the opinion that they would be willing to accept a larger increase “if absolutely necessary”, but they did not follow through on this as they were willing to cut a few additional items to bring the tax increase down. Among the items cut was an amount to be put into reserves, reduced from $100,000 to $50,000, a software package for urban forestry worth $15,000, and a proposed replacement of flooring for Public Works worth $70,000. The Works floor project was deemed expendable as the city’s long-term plans are to replace the storage building in a few years time. As the city and area has seen an economic downturn the last few years, this was a good move to keep the tax increase to a minimal level. Earlier in the same meeting, council heard some interesting numbers about Weyburn’s economic health and demographics, including that spending by the Weyburn region is around $1 billion a year, with annual spending by city residents at $278 million, and $36.4 million in the retail food market. Fully one-third of that latter amount is spent at city restaurants. What does all this mean? It shows there are signs of economic health in Weyburn and area, and that there is potential for growth and expansion as well, considering Weyburn has a relatively young population with a strong representation of new Canadians, with about 1,000 immigrants now calling Weyburn home. The figures provided by economic development officer Twila Walkeden shows Weyburn’s median age has gone down by seven per cent, which is three times more than any other city in the province, and puts the city’s median age 2.5 years lower than the national average. This shows there is value in being fiscally prudent with the city budget, as it enables the young, growing population to keep spending, and for investors to take a look at putting some money behind the fifth-best community in Canada, and the best community on the Prairies. More investment will mean more jobs, more opportunities, and for the city, more tax revenue. — Greg Nikkel

Is Pierre’s son a dictator? My Nikkel’s Worth By Greg Nikkel Email: editor@weyburnreview.com
The mention of “Prime Minister Trudeau” used to have a very negative connotation in Western Canada in the 1970s and 80s, and now Pierre’s son is in control and is seeming to want to impose his beliefs on the rest of Canada. Never mind that our PM has a following of young females and loves doing selfies (that should say something about him, don’t you think?), but he has a very nasty dictatorial streak that has been exhibited in a couple of areas. Take the carbon tax as an example. Our premier, Brad Wall, has rightly opposed this as a bad and negative thing for our economy, but Trudeau wants it imposed anyway, not caring there is a hurting oil and gas sector here that would be hurt even deeper than it already has been by an extended downturn in the price of oil. The province put forward a climate change policy that addresses the very issue the federal government allegedly wants to deal with, but the feds are saying that this policy is not enough, because Saskatchewan has the temerity not to impose a carbon tax. A second very disturbing trend towards dictatorship is Trudeau’s conditions on federal grants, which affects things like providing money for summer students. This affects non-profit organizations and groups who rely on grants for hiring summer students, among other things — but first, those
applying for these federal grants, both applicants and employers, have to sign a document to attest that they support women’s reproductive rights, and the rights of gender-diverse and transgender Canadians. This is bringing an irrelevant issue to bear into an area it doesn’t belong. I’m not saying the rights of gender-diverse and transgender Canadians aren’t important — but it has absolutely nothing to do with an organization wanting to hire a high school or university kid for a summer job. Same with women’s reproductive rights — tell me please, in what universe does your belief in abortion have to do with getting a summer job? This is highly offensive, bringing in issues like these and making them a condition for providing federal grants. This is nothing short of dictatorial, to impose beliefs onto groups and basically blackmailing them. It’s very much like the editorial cartoon depicts just above my column here, where people are asked to drop their principles and beliefs, or else you’re out of luck, and you won’t get any money to hire a summer student. So am I really nuts for calling Justin a dictator? I mean, he’s not exactly Noriega or Idi Amin, but I have to say, imposing his beliefs and policies for us Canadians to follow just does not sit well with me. What do you think?
Letter to the Editor:
Canadian Cancer Society says aggressive action needed to curb tobacco To the Editor: What is Canada’s leading preventable cause of disease and death? It’s tobacco. This week is National Non-Smoking Week, providing a reminder that tobacco is still our number one public health issue. Smoking kills 45,000 Canadians every year and is responsible for about 30 per cent of all cancer deaths. Based on the number of Canadians it kills, tobacco should be treated as an epidemic. It is well established that comprehensive, well-financed and sustained government strategies are highly effective at reducing smoking.
With the current Federal Tobacco Control Strategy expiring in March 2018, we urge federal Minister of Health Ginette Petitpas Taylor to bring forward an aggressive new strategy with far better funding to achieve the goal of less than five per cent tobacco use by 2035. Canada has made significant progress but an enormous amount of work remains. The lives of a vast number of Canadians hang in the balance. Rob Cunningham Senior Policy Analyst Canadian Cancer Society

Members of the 2302 Army Cadets Corps of Weyburn volunteered their time and labour to help out at the Legion Hall at their recent Wings night. From left to right, they are Sgt. Tiesen Dreger, Cpl. Charles Gaignard, volunteer Alix Dreger, Sgt. Pavlo Pyza, LCpl. Gabriel Cherpin, Cpl. Brooklyn McSherry and Warrant Officer Kieran Ricard. The cadets helped serve wings and cleaned up after, as part of a community service activity. The corps meets every Tuesday evening at the Legion, and welcome any new members, or a visit from anyone interesting in learning more about them.
Weyburn Army Cadets volunteer at the Legion The local Weyburn Army Cadet Corps, 2302 RCACC, volunteered to help serve wings and clean up during the Legion’s Wing night, as part of a community service activity. One of the aims of the Cadet Movement is to instill good citizenship, and these cadets showed it Tuesday night. “These cadets are the most respectful and pleasant to work with,” said Captain Nicholas Haines, Commanding Officer of 2302 RCACC. “They take each task or activity and embrace it. They understand the meaning of giving back and it allows them to show their leadership and teamwork skills.” The 2302 Weyburn Legion Army Cadets is a free program to join for anyone between the ages of 12-18. The corps teaches the cadets about leadership, citizenship, and stimulates an interest in the Canadian Armed Forces activities. For more information, those interested can come every Tuesday night to the Legion, and speak with the cadets about their experience, or contact Capt. Haines by emailing him at nhaines@dukeofed.org.
Special service of affirmation held
Photo 0983 — Marj McLeod
Bernice Jaster, centre, was confirmed in a special service of affirmation on Jan. 14 at Zion Lutheran Church, after she completed the confirmation classes she had begun as a young girl. Confirming her was Pastor Victoria Mwamasika, the new pastor at Zion Lutheran (left) and lay pastor Marj McLeod. Bernice had begun confirmation classes with a circuit pastor in the Gladmar-Minton area, but he left before she was confirmed, and over the years she had always wanted to finish what she had started.
Weyburn woman confirmed in her 80s A special service of affirmation of baptism was held on Jan. 14 at Zion Lutheran Church as Bernice Jaster, now in her 80s, completed her confirmation studies. Bernice began her confirmation as a young girl, when a circuit pastor who served the Gladmar-Minton area came to Black Forest School and held confirmation classes. The pastor left before Bernice was confirmed. Her mother continued to teach Bernice, but she was never confirmed. Confirmation was always on Bernice’s mind, and a
friend of hers encouraged her to take classes again, so Bernice approached the confirmation instructor at Zion Lutheran. Adult classes began and were completed. Bernice was confirmed on Jan. 14 and received as a member at Zion Lutheran Church by Pastor Victoria Mwamasika. Bernice chose for her confirmation the Bible verse John 3:16, which reads, “For God so loved the world he gave his only son so that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.”

A close chance on net for the Gold Wings
Review Photo 9501 — Greg Nikkel
Gold Wings players Janissa Cooley, No. 12, and Kaitlyn Harrison (at right) tried to get at the loose puck to score a goal on the Regina Rebels, during midget girls hockey league action on Friday evening at Crescent Point Place. The Rebels ended up with a win over the Gold Wings by a score of 7-1.
Red Wings lose ground to Bruin rivals The Weyburn Red Wings lost some ground in the standings over the weekend, after they lost back-to-back games to their Highway 39 rivals, the Estevan Bruins, who remain on top of the Viterra Division with 54 points to Weyburn’s 48. The Red Wings travelled to Estevan on Friday night and were trounced 6-1 in front of 1,426 fans at Affinity Place. Weyburn’s lone goal came on the powerplay in the third period, as Cade Kowalski scored unassisted. Goalie Arik Weersink was in for the first period, facing 10 shots and letting in three goals, then he was replaced by Liam McCloskey who faced 20 shots and let in three goals. The Wings took 35 shots on Estevan’s net. The Bruins then were hosted in Weyburn on Saturday night, and the visitors won 5-3 in front of 950 fans at Crescent Point Place. Weyburn opened scoring in the first period, when Ben Hiltz scored at 3:31, with assists going to Cole Woodliffe and Garrett Szeremley. Estevan scored a pair of goals before the Red Wings responded late in the period, when Mike Eskra scored on an assist from Landon Walters to tie the game. The Bruins notched two powerplay goals in the second period, and Eskra scored halfway through the third period with assists to Kowalski and Hiltz to make it 4-3. Estevan scored an empty-netter on the powerplay with 10 seconds left in the game to come away with their second win over the Wings for the weekend. Weersink was in goal for the entire game, facing 35 shots to 19 shots on the Estevan net. The Red Wings will host the Melville Millionaires on Friday, Jan. 26, at Crescent Point Place, and then Notre Dame will visit on Tuesday, Jan. 30 for a rare midweek game.

The billet families for the players of the Richardson Pioneer Gold Wings midget girls hockey team gathered on the team bench as the girls lined up on the blue line, during a tribute to the billets at the start of the Gold Wings home game on Friday evening at Crescent Point Place. The midget girls hockey game helped to kick off Weyburn’s Hockey Weekend, with all minor hockey teams playing games at either Crescent Point Place or the Tom Zandee Sports Arena. Special activities included a bonfire and street hockey with the Red Wings on Saturday in the parking lot of the Sports Arena.

weekend in Weyburn, and included a tribute to the team billet families prior to the start of the game. Weyburn’s lone goal came from Rheanne Peigan on the powerplay, with assists going to Kierson Hennes and Payton Mabee. Peigan was named the game’s second star. Goaltender Daneka Dickson tended net for the first two periods, facing 36 shots, while Amara Lewendon was put in for the third period, and she faced 17 shots. The girls travelled north to take on the Battlefords Sharks for games on Satur-
day and Sunday, and were defeated 7-2 in the first game and then were edged out 3-2 in the second game. In the game on Saturday, Weyburn’s Sierra Meroniuk scored in the first period on an assist from Kierson Hennes, and then Hennes scored on the powerplay in the third period on an assist from Kaitlyn Harrison. Hennes was named as the game’s second star. Lewendon was the goaltender for the game, facing 43 shots to 24 shots on the Sharks net. In Sunday’s game, Jayden Lindholm scored in the first
period to tie the game, with the assist from Katelyn Blair. After two more goals from the Sharks, the Gold Wings’ Janna Keisig scored, with Blair assisting, and there was no scoring in the third period. Goalie Daneka Dickson was in net for the entire game, facing 38 shots to 25 shots on the Sharks net. Dickson was named the game’s second star for her efforts in net. The Gold Wings will next play the Notre Dame Hounds in Wilcox on Saturday, Jan. 27, with the game starting at 4 p.m.

Comp junior boys win home tourney The Weyburn Comp Eagles junior boys basketball team won their home tournament over the weekend, winning all four games to claim first place. They began the tournament against the Estevan Elecs on Thursday evening, and beat them 68-44 in the Cugnet Centre. The Eagles defeated Yorkton Regional by a score of 86-51, Moose Jaw Peacock by a score of 85-50, and edged out Swift Current by a score of 73-72. The Comp senior boys travelled to Melfort for a weekend tournament, and brought home the silver medal after advancing to the final. The senior boys beat Humboldt 105-52, defeated Meadow Lake 98-63 and advanced to the final, where Weyburn lost to Moose Jaw Central 100-84. The Comp Eagles senior girls took part in a tournament in Moose Jaw, and lost a tough first game against PA St Mary’s, 57-39. “Although our defence was amazing, and we caused lots of turnovers with our press, we just could not score,” said coach Karly Johnson. On the consolation side, the girls’ next opponent was Middle Lake. This game was back and forth, and even went into overtime. The Eagles finally turned it on, scoring eight points in the first minute of overtime, beating Middle Lake 60-52. On Saturday, the girls faced Humboldt, bringing another top-notch defensive win, defeating them by a score of 43-24. The last game of the night was the consolation final against Yorkton Regional. The Eagles won 53-37. When the girls come back from first semester finals, they will be heading to Melfort for the weekend of Feb. 2-3, and then to North Battleford Feb. 9-10. The senior boys will be in Yorkton on Feb. 2-3, and both the junior girls and boys teams will be at a tournament in Moose Jaw, with the freshman boys heading to a tournament in St. Brieux.

Minor Football to hold fundraiser event Weyburn Minor Football will hold a fundraiser event with a Super Bowl party on Sunday, Feb. 4, at the Weyburn Legion Hall. This past year, Minor Football opened their new second field adjacent to Darold Kot Field on the Comp School grounds, with the installation of lights to allow for night games. The organization is now fundraising to build a two-storey structure for the announcers and equipment storage, and are hoping to be able to put the building up this spring, said Jody Kerr of Weyburn Minor Football. He also accepted a donation from the Young Fellows Club for $12,500 on Thursday, as a five-year team sponsorship for the bantam Falcons football team, to help pay for their jerseys and equipment. Kerr noted the team had almost 60 players sign up for the bantam team, and by the end of the season the number was just under 50 due to injuries. Minor Football is hoping to put up a 24-by-30 foot structure with two storeys, with storage space on the ground floor, as the current storage facility at Jubilee Park is very cramped, said Kerr. He noted they were able to get the sound system from the former Weyburn Junior High, and they are hoping to have it installed along with the space for announcers and Access TV cameras on the second floor. “There’s a lot of equipment in that old building,” said Kerr. “We’ll still be at Jubilee Park this summer.” The Super Bowl party will include the game shown on TVs supplied by New Age Electronics, snacks and drinks. Tickets are $30 each for adults, or $15 for children 12 and under, and are available from Kerr, at Olympia Fitness or from any Minor Football board member. All proceeds from this event will go towards the building of the new structure.

Learning about inflammatory bowel diseases at health symposium
Review Photo 9221 — Greg Nikkel
Teacher Kelly Glaspey chatted with Grade 11 students Solomiya Shkapoyid and Chrisgia Fesalbon about their display about colitis and Crohn’s disease, both inflammatory bowel diseases, at the Anatomy and Health Symposium held on Thursday morning in the Cugnet Centre. Fesalbon custom-made the T-shirts the night before for the girls to wear to display the inner body systems that are involved.
Workshop offered for safeTALK program
Checking out daughter’s display at symposium
Review Photo 9198 — Greg Nikkel
Grade 11 student Abbey Johnson showed off her display on blood disorders and uses, along with her partner Emma Wiens, as she chatted with her mother, Jodi Johnson, who teaches Grades 8/9 at St. Michael School. The displays were set up for the Anatomy and Health Sumposium on Thursday morning at the Cugnet Centre for the Health and Wellness class, and many classes from the Comp and from other schools in the city toured through to see the displays.
A training workshop for volunteers who want to deal with people with thoughts of suicide will be held by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) on Friday, Feb. 23. The safeTALK workshop provides training for anyone over the age of 15 to help identify people who may be suicidal and help them to connect with suicide first aid resources. As a safeTALK-trained suicide alert helper, people will be better able to move beyond the common tendencies to miss, dismiss or avoid suicide, to identify people who have thoughts of suicide, and to apply the “talk” steps to connect a person with intervention caregivers. TALK is an acronym for “tell, ask, listen and keep-safe”. Oftentimes people with thoughts of suicide invited help to stay safe, and alert helpers know how to use these opportunities to support that desire for safety. The training session will include powerful video clips to illustrate both non-alert and alert responses, and discussion and practice help stimulate learning. The workshop will run from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the CMHA building at 404 Ashford Street on Feb. 23. The cost is $50 per person. There will be certificates and participant materials provided. For more information about participating, contact Tasha Collins at the CMHA office at 306-842-7959 or email to tashac@cmhask.com. The course can also be booked for a business, school or family by contacting Tasha at the same number. A minimum of 10 participants is required.

By Norm Park, SE Cornerstone It is often the case of just doing a little bit extra that will boost a youngster from a world of failure into an environment of success on the educational front. To that end, Cheryl Anderson and Tracey Kiliwnik, coordinators of student services and learning supports respectively, provided Southeast Cornerstone Public School Division board members with information that suggested this was happening in southeast Saskatchewan’s public school system. With teams of educational psychologists, speech language pathologists, occupational therapists, student counsellors and other consultants and programs such as literacy intervention and wideranging methods for diagnosis, young students are able to receive a huge leg up when it comes to advancing their educational experiences. Kiliwnik noted there are 184 identified intensive needs students pre-kindergarten through Grade 12 this academic year. Anderson added that important partnerships have been forged with other agencies to not only gather information but also to provide different programs. Student profiles are built to discover the youngster’s weaknesses and strengths and the school support systems make use of both divisional and outside agencies to achieve targets. “By doing these assessments we can find gaps or missing pieces and sometimes it’s just a matter of that student not having been tested for hearing or vision challenges. Intensive needs students across the division now number 184,” said Anderson, adding there are 67 in the Tier 2 category who require overseer supports. “We also have 40 students with complex medical problems and others with complex behavioural issues,” said Kiliwnik. Autism has been diagnosed in 43 students and another 13 have bipolar or depressive issues and they receive assistance from the school division’s support team.c The two even noted that English as an Additional Language students, who number 574 this school

year (including pre-kindergarten and kindergarten) within a student population of about 8,300, require special attention. They noted how classroom educators are now even better prepared to deal with EAL students and have lessened the load on the EAL consultants as a result. By having the families getting involved in the practices and programs, the intervention process works even more smoothly, they suggested. The partnerships include professionals in the mental and social services sectors as well as justice, medical and settlement consultants. The two coordinators outlined on screen how they developed student success profiles, labelling it as an evergreen document that reflects a student’s needs. It is a collaborative form that leads and supports conversations throughout the student’s journey through the educational system with evidence-based documentation. The two coordinators also led the board members through the Review 360 program. This is viewed as a solution to help staff reduce such issues as student suspensions, reduce bullying, and generally improve behaviours to improve the school climate. The program gives teachers information on implementing support systems, best practices for approaching common behavioural issues, and giving them the ability to track and monitor inclusion rates, among other things. “The foundation of Review 360 includes five steps: track, aggregate, analyze, intervene and communicate interventions,” Anderson said. New to the southeast region this year are two Settlement Workers in Schools. These SWIS workers work with both SECPSD and Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Division to support new EAL families in the area. The two also touched on the Jordan’s Principle plan that has come into use just recently for students aged six through 17. The program offers support for families to get transportation to medical appointments, to find secure childcare, find family-driven solutions by encouraging them to connect with qualified service providers for physical, mental, spiritual and cultural issues and to assist families through difficult times. The current caseload regarding Jordan’s Principle applications within the First Nations communities now numbers 14 youngsters. The variety of student services found within this structure was to be welcomed and admired, said board chairwoman Audrey Trombley.

New party leader and premier, to be decided on Jan. 27
Five candidates vie for Sask Party leadership
GORD WYANT By Greg Nikkel The leadership race for the Saskatchewan Party will come down to the vote on Saturday, Jan. 27, in Saskatoon, with five candidates vying to win the post being vacated by Premier Brad Wall. The candidates include former Justice minister Gord Wyant, former minister Ken Cheveldayoff, former political science instructor Tina Beaudry-Mellor, former Environment minister Scott Moe, and cabinet secretary and former deputy minister of Agriculture Alanna Koch. All of the candidates have individually visited Weyburn, and the candi-
KEN CHEVELDAYOFF dates held a debate forum in Weyburn on Nov. 30, bringing the race for leader to the Sask. Party members and residents of the Weyburn area. Rob Clarke, who was part of the candidates forum, dropped out of the leadership race in December and threw his support behind Cheveldayoff. Cheveldayoff was just recently in Weyburn for a quick stop, and was asked how he thinks his campaign is going as the voting day approaches. “I feel I’m going to be on the final ballot. I’m really encouraged by the support I’ve been receiving,” he said, noting he will be

busy door-knocking as long as he is able, visiting areas of strength for the party. “In Weyburn, we have a great deal of strength,” said Cheveldayoff, noting that party members want a leader who is strong and who has a proven track record of winning elections, so they can lead the party into the next election in 2020. Wyant has been reminding party supporters of the party’s foundational principles and is asking them to return to those principles. He said he has been hearing a number of concerns related to the budget released in the spring, and noted there
is a perception the party has drifted somewhat away from the centre. “I want to make sure the party continues to govern from the centre,” he said, adding that concerns about infrastructure has come up a lot as he has been attending r eg i o n a l m e e t i n g s f o r SUMA along with campaign stops around the province. There are a few things that Beaudry-Mellor feels are important, that if elected as the new leader she would address. “Balancing the budget is very, very important. There is a lot of work that we need to do, especially around what getting back to ‘balanced’

truly looks like for all interested stakeholders.” One of the budget announcements that BeaudryMellor would like to reverse is the addition of PST on insurance. “We have done some great things as a party, and have had a very strong premier, but we need to think about positioning Saskatchewan more globally, and being an economic powerhouse in Canada,” said Beaudry-Mellor. Moe is proposing to establish a new cabinet position, a ministry of International Trade and Exports, along with establishing a Premier’s advisory council

on international trade and exports which would include stakeholders representing the province’s exporting businesses and industries. In his proposal, the Premier’s Council “would provide input on a strategic trade missions plan that will map out how Saskatchewan’s government can develop and grow relationships that are crucial for increasing our private sector’s international exports,” he said. The new minister is proposed to be responsible for international trade and exports, and will be mandated with establishing the province’s presence in the countries that account for the largest share of Saskatchewan’s exports. In spite of the challenges to the economy, Moe said the plan is to bring the budget back to a balanced state within three years. Some of Koch’s platform points include creating a competitive business environment, promoting free market solutions, taking care of the most vulnerable in society, making science-based decisions, running a fiscally responsible government, and ensuring all Saskatchewan residents benefit from the province’s growth and prosperity. On the province’s finances, Koch said she wants to see a return to a balanced budget, but feels it will take a year longer than Premier Wall had initially set out, and she wants to revisit the provincial sales tax on insurance, saying this was something the party should have considered more carefully before putting into the budget. “I think this leadership race was one of the best things to happen, as we’re seeing a lot of young people get involved,” said Koch, noting she’s learned from her two daughters (aged 21 and 24) that involvement via social media will be a key to reaching teens and young adults. The leadership convention is being held at the Prairieland Park Convention Centre in Saskatoon, and the first announcement of results is expected to be made around 6 p.m. on Jan. 27, with first speech by the new premier to follow.
