Playing air guitar at Pink Shirt Day concert

Review Photo 9157 — Greg Nikkel

Singer Ryan Laird, left, led a group of students as they played air guitar during one of his songs for the Pink Shirt Day concert on Friday afternoon at the Cugnet Centre. Laird brought his “Bigger Than That” tour and gave a message of pursuing goals and staying positive, with students on hand from Queen Elizabeth, Haig, Souris and Assiniboia Park Schools. In addition to these wanna-be guitarists, he also had a group of singers, and brought up four students to share their goals.

Federal conservatives call for PM Trudeau to resign

By Greg Nikkel The federal Conservatives are calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign in light of the revelations from former Attorney-General Jody Wilson-Raybould on the SNC-Lavalin issue, and at the very least to recall Parliament.

Souris-Moose Mountain MP Dr. Robert Kitchen agrees with leader Andrew Scheer in seeking Trudeau’s resignation, and feels the Liberal government has a lot to answer for in light of the pressure exerted on Wilson-Raybould, as she testified at a Senate committee.

In a statement issued after the testimony, Scheer said, “Justin Trudeau simply cannot continue to govern this great nation now that Canadians know what he has done. That is why I am calling on Justin Trudeau to resign. Further, the RCMP must immedi-

ately open an investigation – if it has not already done so – into the numerous examples of obstruction of justice the former Attorney General detailed in her testimony.

The testimony Canadians have just heard from the former Attorney General Jody WilsonRaybould tells the story of a Prime Minister who has lost the moral authority to govern.”

Trudeau has repeatedly said that he “strongly disagrees” with Wilson-Raybould’s statements to the committee, and has stated he will not resign, but that Canadians can judge them on the issue at election time in October.

Dr. Kitchen noted that she was finally allowed to speak, but within certain parameters, and told how she received a “sustained” amount of pressure from 11 different people, asking her to ensure that

Pick e h t f o h t n o M

construction company SNC-Lavalin did not face a criminal trial, with pressure coming from the Prime Minister’s office and the Finance Minister’s office.

He noted that WilsonRaybould’s testimony was eloquent and thorough, backed up with dates and notes, compared to the responses from Liberal members that seemed disjointed.

“There were 10 meet-

ings involving up to 11 people, including the prime minister, his chief of staff and former chief of staff,” said MP Kitchen. “By providing this information, the committee will have to give even further thought and investigation, and hopefully they’ll hear from some of these people.”

He noted that she was quite clear about what was said to her and by whom.

The Attorney-Gener-

as shocking as they are corrupt: multiple veiled threats to her job if she didn’t bow to their demands, urgings to consider the consequences on election results and shareholder value above judicial due process. And reminders from Justin Trudeau to his Attorney General about his own electoral prospects should she allow SNC-Lavalin’s trial to proceed.

al’s position, which she held before she was demoted, is supposed to be separate from government as a member of the judiciary, so to pressure that person was completely inappropriate, he said.

“He can’t continue to govern this great country, as he’s lost his moral authority to govern,” said MP Kitchen, adding he fully agrees with Scheer’s statements on this issue as well. “The details are

Advisory issued for online materials T h e S a s k a t c h ewa n RCMP and other police agencies, including the Weyburn Police Service, is aware that there is information circulating concerning the existence of online challenges targeting youth, encouraging them to perform harmful practices and dangerous tasks.

At this time, police have

not received any complaints relating to any online challenges in Saskatchewan RCMP jurisdiction; however, it is important for parents and guardians to report anything suspicious or concerning that their child encounters online.

“We have had no complaints and no issues that I am aware of as a result of the

pop-up,” added deputy chief Rod Stafford of the Weyburn Police Service. He noted the WPS was made aware of the popups and online messages through the local schools.

“To my knowledge, we haven’t had any reports from students about it,” said Cheryl Anderson of the Southeast Cornerstone School Division.

The school division was made aware of the materials coming up on YouTube among other places, and they sent out an email to all parents to advise them of the potential dangers, and “to be vigilant about what their children are seeing online” and on social media platforms.

Petroleum Technology Research Centre carries on oil-gas research

By Greg Nikkel The Petroleum Technology Research Centre (PTRC) has been doing research into oil and gas projects for 20 years, and plans to continue to provide research as the industry evolves in coming years, members of the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce heard at a business breakfast meeting on Wednesday at the Legion Hall.

CEO Dan MacLean gave the presentation, noting that the PTRC largely began as research into the CO2 miscible flood project that PanCanadian and Shell established in the Weyburn and Midale fields respectively, and they followed the evolution as PanCanadian became EnCana and Cenovus before they sold the Weyburn operations to the current owner, Whitecap Resources. In Midale, Shell sold their operations to Apache, which is still the operator of that field.

The study on the injection of carbon dioxide into the Weyburn and Midale fields went for 15 years, from 2000 to 2016, at a cost of $80 million as they determined if the injected CO2 stayed in the ground or if it escaped back up to the surface.

In this time period, it’s estimated that prior to CO2 injection, there was some 370 million barrels extracted from the Weyburn field and 154 million barrels from the Midale field, and with the CO2, the Weyburn field produced another 155 million barrels, and Midale saw 67

Chamber hears from PTRC head about oil research

Review Photo 8978 — Greg Nikkel

Dan MacLean, CEO and president of the Petroleum Technology Research Centre, spoke to the breakfast meeting for the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday about the centre’s role in research and promoting Saskatchewan’s oil and gas industry. The PTRC has been going for the past 20 years, starting with the Weyburn Oil Field’s CO2 capture and storage project. million barrels produced.

The carbon dioxide increased recovery by 26 to 38 per cent in the Weyburn field, and 30 to 43 per cent in the Midale field.

The research carried out led to over 300 peer-reviewed articles by researchers from around the world, and these results continue to inform other CO2 storage projects world-wide, with 21 research partners and six government funds involved.

With the former Cenovus facilities now owned

by Whitecap Resources, the PTRC are back in discussions with them about re-engaging with research into the continued use of

CO2 for enhanced oil recovery, said MacLean.

These experiences and the research data led to the establishment of Aquistore CO2 monitoring and storage research site that includes injection and observation wells drilled to a depth of 3,400 metres, rigged with extensive monitoring equipment, such as a 650-geophone permanent seismic array.

MacLean said there is worldwide interest in Aquistore, as they share knowledge with interests in other countries, including three in the U.S., two in the United Kingdom, four in Australia and two in South

Africa. “We were in Melbourne, and had a whole day to present what we’re doing with Aquistore,” he added. “A lot of people are talking about CO2 capture and storage.”

MacLean noted there are only two such projects in Canada, theirs and one owned by Shell in Alberta.

In addition there are 26 research partners in nine countries, and $20 million of in-kind contributions over the past six years from companies, and over 100 papers published on the project so far.

In more recent years, the PTRC has expanded their oil industry research to

heavy oil production, with their Heavy Oil Research Network (HORNET), and the Joint Implementation of Vapour Extraction or JIVE, a four-year $40 million demonstration project near Lloydminster involving Husky, CNRL and Nexen. With the development of the Bakken zone, the PTRC also has a tight oil program that studies CO2 enhanced oil recovery trials in the Bakken, to examine how hydraulically-fractured wells respond to CO2 use.

Looking at the Saskatchewan oil industry, MacLean noted that in 2010, Saskatchewan as a

whole produced 400,000 barrels a day of crude petroleum, and currently production is around 480,000 barrels a day, which is about 12 per cent of Canada’s total oil production.

The number one oil producer is Crescent Point Energy, followed by Husky Oil and Whitecap Resources. MacLean noted that 20 companies produce 90 per cent of the oil in Saskatchewan, and the list of companies is changing with buy-outs and amalgamations. He gave as one example how Cardinal has picked up Apache’s Midale operations.

Looking at a list of the top oil producers in all of Canada, 10 of the top 25 companies operate in Saskatchewan, and on the list of high-netback companies, 11 of the top 25 are operating in Saskatchewan.

“What a great story, this is a great place to invest,” said MacLean, adding there are a number of challenges facing the industry heading into 2019, including piling on of regulations, the pending carbon tax from Ottawa, the lack of any ability to get a pipeline built in Canada, and the movement of capital out of Canada in the oil industry.

“The world needs Canadian oil,” said MacLean.

“We are the most heavily regulated industry in Canada, if not the world.

Our oil and gas regulations are the benchmark, we are the standard around the world. We are the most environmentally-friendly produced oil in the world.”

Crop Insurance Program will increase coverage levels for 2019 Federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit announced enhancements to the 2019 Crop Insurance Program. Once again, Saskatchewan producers can access the highest coverage in program history as the Crop Insurance Program evolves and continues to adapt to the changing agricultural landscape in the province.

“Insurance-based programs help to ensure farmers have the tools they need to maintain and grow their busi-

ness,” said MacAulay. “By investing in sound risk management programming, we are providing a foundation for our agriculture industry to grow,” Marit said.

On average, Crop Insurance coverage levels are increasing to a record $230 per acre, up from $216 per acre in 2018. The average coverage remains strong due to the success of Saskatchewan producers’ ongoing improvements in crop production with an increase in overall yields.

Premiums have remained relatively steady, with the pre-

mium per acre only slightly increasing to an average of $8.61 per acre, up from $8.41 in 2018.

Producers faced ongoing challenges throughout the 2018 growing season. Excess moisture delayed seeding, dry conditions and localized flooding challenged summer growing, and early frost and snowfall delayed harvest.

Compensation for producers is estimated to reach $300 million in claims. Despite the challenging growing season, there continues to be a strong balance of funds allowing the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) to keep premiums low for producers.

There are a number of enhancements for the Crop Insurance Program in 2019.

SCIC continues to work with industry to ensure its programs are meeting the needs of producers and advancements in agriculture. SCIC

understands no two farms are the same, which is why Crop Insurance offers coverage based on a producer’s own yields rather than the average of their area. A producer’s insurance package can be custom-fit through a huge selection of price options, coverage levels and other program features to meet their own risk management needs.

“When the grass and hay doesn’t grow, when the weather doesn’t co-operate or when animals are lost to predators, farmers and ranchers need insurance programs to help them replace the feed and livestock they are expecting to have,” Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association District 5 Director Levi Hull said. “These programs help producers address those uncontrollable risks and provides some management tools. Combine these programs with the price assurance of WLPIP and we are

confident there is a full suite of insurance options available.”

Since 2015, SCIC has engaged with producers and the agriculture industry. They identified insured values for grazing acres as a main priority, indicating coverage needs to more accurately represent the cost of replacing lost grazing production. For 2019, insured values on tame and native grazing are significantly increasing to better reflect the losses producers experience during a shortfall in forage production. Another enhancement for forage and grain corn producers includes the introduction of the Corn Rainfall Program.

This program provides coverage against lack of moisture for corn acres. Claims are triggered when precipitation is below 80 per cent of the long-term average at any of the weather stations across the province. Corn acres grown for grain, grazing or silage are now eligible for protection through this new Corn Rainfall Program and the Corn Heat Unit Program. Also new for 2019, both programs will provide an establishment benefit of $90 per acre on corn

crops that fail to adequately establish or suffer damage before June 20.

This year, 55 new weather stations will be added throughout the province to increase SCIC’s weather data network and to ensure the weather information captured is more reflective of the farms it represents. Producers have more options to select a representative weather station for their pastureland, through the Forage Rainfall Insurance Program.

A larger selection of weather station options for corn acres is available through the Corn Rainfall Program and/or the Corn Heat Unit Program. Almost all agricultural land in Saskatchewan will be within 30 kilometres of an eligible weather station.

“SARM is pleased with the enhancements SCIC has announced to the suite of Crop Insurance Programs,” SARM Division 4 Director Harvey Malanowich said. SCIC extended the fall seeding deadline to September 30.

This provides producers an additional 15 days to be eligible for winterkill insurance when seeding fall rye and winter wheat.

March 31, 2019, is the deadline for producers to apply or make changes to their Crop Insurance contract.

Chocolates bring smiles at Rotary

Review Photo 7269 — Greg Nikkel

Rotary Club members Grant Paulson, left, and Laraine Tremblay are all smiles as they receive samples of raw chocolate from Candice Kievits at the Rotary meeting on Feb. 21. Candice and her mother Shelley spoke about the various ventures of their business, New Dawn Wellness and Karma Salon, where Candice sells about 10 varieties of raw chocolate bars, made with cacao sourced from Peru.

Long-time family business diversifies, thrives

By Greg Nikkel A long-time family business has continued to thrive as they diversify into new interests and ventures, members of the Weyburn Rotary Club heard recently.

Shelley Kievits and her daughter Candice Kievits, from New Dawn Wellness and Karma Salon, shared a bit of the history of how their businesses have evolved, and some of the current ventures they are offering, including raw chocolate and laser therapy.

Shelley noted she and her parents first moved to Weyburn when she was 15, and her parents bought Dron’s Drycleaning in 1975, followed by the Pop Shoppe on Railway Avenue. After Shelley’s daughter Candice was born, they bought the

Camera Company, located at the time in the Weyburn Square Mall, where they operated for about a decade before moving it.

Her parents had bought the King Koin Laundromat on Second Street, and Shelley moved the Camera Company into that location, while her husband was involved with the Prairie Greenhouse side of things.

With the evolution of photography into digital formats, they got rid of the cameras and film in 2005. Shelley went back to school and was certified as a massage therapist around the time they gave up on the Camera Company, and in more recent years she has been able to add some innovative services like laser therapy, biofeedback and sonic vibrations in treat-

ing various ailments.

Candice started up the Karma Salon, where they currently have six stylists, and a few years ago she began to make raw chocolate, using all organic ingredients, including cacao sourced from Peru, and honey sourced from a friend at Griffin.

Today there are 10 flavours of chocolate bars, and Candice touts the health benefits of eating the bars as the chocolate is not refined or processed.

Shelley noted that her mother Lil, who is nearing 93 years of age, was able to gain back about four per cent of her bone density by using the sonic vibrations.

People who have been helped with laser therapy

include people who have sciatic pain, or those who have issues that are muscular or skeletal-related, and a neighbour whose kidneys had begun to fail.

More recently, she said, a doctor had an idea about using this therapy to help people with headaches or those are stroke victims.

Biofeedback is another service that has been brought to New Dawn Wellness, as Shelley noted her son had been helped as he had developed an intolerance of gluten. She said the device works by being applied to the body’s acupuncture points.

Her mom has also been helped, noting that at 92, she feels better now than when she was 80 years old.

OPINION

Editorial Liberals face a deepening scandal

W

eek by week, the SNC-Lavalin scandal seems to be only be getting worse for the ruling Liberal party, not better, and the story isn’t finished yet by a long shot, with more people to testify in front of the House committee.

The Liberals took a broadside hit from former Attorney-General Jody Wilson-Raybould, in her testimony of a “sustained” effort by 11 high-level government officials to dissuade her from pursuing a criminal trial for the giant Quebec construction firm.

These officials were from the Prime Minister’s Office and the Finance Minister’s office, among others.

The followup to that came with the resignation on Monday of another high-profile minister, the president of the Treasury Board Jane Philpott.

She cited a loss of confidence in the government to enable the justice system to work properly, and said, “There can be a cost to acting on one’s principles, but there is a bigger cost to abandoning them.”

That is a fairly strong indictment of a government she was a part of as a cabinet minister, considered one of the best ministers the Liberals had around the cabinet table.

The curious thing from Wilson-Raybould’s testimony is that she described the interfering nature of how these 11 people interacted with her, and yet when asked if she thought they might have broken the law, as in obstruction of justice, she declined to go that far.

The scandal has also raised another relevant issue, namely the connection of the Attorney-General and the Justice minister in one person. The A-G is supposed to be independent of any partisan bias or influence, and is why in other countries this position is a separate one.

Clearly the Liberals don’t get the “independent” part of the A-G’s job, or else they wouldn’t have been trying to exert influence on her in such a concerted and sustained way.

The Conservatives are clearly trying to make the most of this situation, as would be expected, but the fact is, this situation goes beyond just partisan politics.

This goes to the very foundation of the justice system, and its integrity and independence, both of which are absolutely necessary in order for justice to be properly administered, and for the people of Canada to be able trust in the justice system to enforce the rule of law.

It is a dangerous game for a government to delve into, and lends credence to the Conservatives claim the Liberals have lost the “moral authority” to govern. — Greg Nikkel

You wouldn’t trust just anyone with your health. So why trust just anyone for your news?

It’s better to be positive My Nikkel’s Worth

By Greg Nikkel Email: editor@weyburnreview.com

There were two approaches to our young people in the past week, and they couldn’t have been more different if they tried.

On the one hand, there were some very disturbing popups reported on YouTube and other sites where children’s videos were displayed, with cartoons and other videos appearing that made threats to children unless they did acts of self-harm. Some of the materials were even urging children to kill themselves, or suggesting ways it could be done.

Then there was this incredibly disturbing “Momo” character with a face created by someone on a drug-induced nightmare, with large round eyeballs that were decidedly not of the Disney or anime variety.

These materials are all disturbing in and of themselves, but to be targetting them at children is despicable and unconscionable.

YouTube responded by saying they were working on their removal, but obviously these things should never have come up in the first place.

There was a strong statement by Jesus that I think is applicable, where He stated, “whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.” (New American Standard Version)

Now, on the other hand, it was Pink Shirt Day last Wednesday, and on Friday afternoon, the four public elementary schools gathered at the Cugnet Centre for a concert by singer Ryan Laird.

His message was the polar opposite to these disturbing online materials, as he urged the students to pursue their dreams and their goals, and to always stay positive.

When I spoke to him prior to his concert, he told me that in discussions with the Pink Shirt Day organizers, they were okay with him taking a positive approach rather than coming out and speaking harshly about bullies and why bullying is such a bad thing.

It is a bad thing, he said, but he wanted to focus on being positive, in case there was a possibility that a bully might see there is a better way to relate to people.

Laird talked about how he was picked on for wanting to be a country singer, and he admits that he very nearly gave up on his goals — but after talking with trusted adults, he decided to go for it and pursue his dreams.

He urged the kids to also pursue their goals, and when they go on social media platforms, to be kind and respectful to other people.

Somehow I think the creator of the sick “Momo” character needs to hear this message, and not just the children.

Letter to the Editor

It’s time for Trudeau Junior to take a stroll To the Editor: They wanted Jody Wilson-Raybould to break the law for them.

When she didn’t, she was fired.

Yesterday’s stunning testimony of interference in rule of law, and outright negligence, should bring about not just a thorough RCMP investigation, but much-needed change in Ottawa.

The Prime Minister’s office made their choice: and they chose a few jobs in Quebec over an entire country.

And wouldn’t you know it, it just so happens that today is the 35th anniversary of Pierre Trudeau’s famous “walk in the snow.” A moment in which he finally decided it was time to step aside.

In honour of that decision, and that anniversary, we’re calling on Justin Trudeau to follow in his father’s footsteps.

It’s time to resign.

Mr. Prime Minister, it sure seems like a nice day for a stroll.

Federal conservatives call for PM Trudeau to resign Continued from Front As Ms. Wilson-Raybould has so clearly articulated, the people Canadians entrusted to protect the integrity of our very nation were instead only protecting themselves and their friends,” said Scheer in his statement.

On Friday afternoon, Scheer sent a letter to the prime minister, urging him to recall Parliament to sit, to deal this developing

issue. “Given the severity and credibility of the allegations against Justin Trudeau, and the cloud of scandal they have cast over his government, Trudeau must recall the House of Commons to sit so Members of Parliament can continue to hold him to account,” Scheer said.

Further, the letter reminds the Prime Minister that he must provide Canadians with evidence and

accounts of his dealing with Ms. Wilson-Raybould during the period she described – and in the time during and following her resignation from cabinet..

The Prime Minister must also waive privilege and cabinet confidentiality on his conversations with her removal as Attorney General and on the discussions with her as Veterans Affairs Minister.

The following things can help keep youth safe when navigating online or on social media platforms: • Be careful of giving out too much personal information and remember that the information that you put on your profile can be seen by everyone, even if your account/profile is set to private. Your personal information/image(s) may be used in ways that you never intended.

• Photos posted online are not private property and anything you upload online can be shared by others, potentially with thousands of people, within hours of your posting. It’s also easy to alter an image using photo editing software.

• Remember that once

you post something online, you can’t control who that information is shared with – and removing it from wherever you posted it doesn’t permanently remove it from the internet.

• Tell someone, like a parent, guardian or trusted adult, if something online is making you concerned or uncomfortable. Your safety is important and an adult will be able to provide you with guidance.

Here are a few reminders for parents and guardians: • Take an interest in what your children are doing online.

• Talk openly with your children about online safety and educate them on the risks of online interactions.

• Make sure the protection features of websites and software your children use are activated. There are tools available through your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to help you

manage your children’s online experience (i.e. appropriate websites, amount of time spent online, who can and cannot contact them).

It might also include other security features, such as pop-up ad blockers.

• Get to know the online environments your children use and teach them how to deal with inappropriate material. • Stay in the know about the latest ways children are communicating and what they’re up to when they’re at friends’ houses.

• Keep an eye on the sites they’re visiting by keeping the computer in a common area like the kitchen.

• Report anything suspicious or concerning that your child encounters online - contact your local police service or RCMP Detachment. • RCMP will be sharing these safety reminders on their social media properties and are encouraging their followers to share them.

Red Wings win two, hope for survivor series

By April Zielke The Weyburn Red Wings had a couple victories this week. On Wednesday in Melville, they earned a 4-3 overtime win against the Millionaires, and on the weekend, they split their home-and-home series with Estevan.

The Millionaires had the upper hand scoring the first goal of the game a minute and 57 seconds into the first. Despite the Millionaires outshooting the Wings 13-4 during that period, that was the only goal for the team in the first. Jacob Piller however was able to make use of the Red Wings four shots and tied up the game, and 53 seconds into the second, Sean Olson put one between the pipes to get the Wings ahead.

The Wings completely turned things around and dominated the period outshooting the Millionaires 16-12. Unfortunately, Garrett Szeremley was handed a five-minute major for a blow to the head and was tossed from the game. Melville was able to use the five-minute power play to even up the score.

The third period saw fierce game play from both teams and some incredible saves made by Cody Levesque and Millionaires Colby Entz. Just before the halfway mark, Olson drove to the net for a one-onone battle and snagged his second of the night. Will Cruise was sent to the box with a high-sticking call, which allowed the Millionaires to make it three across the board and send the game to overtime.

Only one minute and

Doing a fly-by at the bench

Review Photo 9718 — April Zielke

Red Wings players Ben Hiltz and Carson Scheschuk do a fly-by to get high-fives from their team-mates, after they teamed up to score the first Red Wings goal against Estevan on Friday night at Crescent Point Place. Hiltz also scored the overtime winner in their 4-3 home game victory over Estevan. The Wings then dropped a 5-3 decision to Estevan on Saturday evening to split the home-and-home series. six seconds into overtime, Dawson McKenzie became the hero of the night scoring the 4-3 overtime winner.

Tied for points with the Millionaires in the SJHL standings, the Red Wings then had a challenging pair of home-and-home games against the Estevan Bruins over the weekend.

First to host was Weyburn, but Bruins fans defiantly made their presence known in the Red Wings home rink. A quick Bruins goal woke the Red Wings up and sent the two teams into overdrive. Carson Scheschuk took a shot on net that rebounded, but luckily Ben Hiltz stood ready right in front of the

net and deflected the puck into the netting. Only 16 seconds later, Piller wrapped the puck around the net to the stick of Drew Anderson who put the Wings ahead.

However the lead didn’t last long with the Bruins tying it up before the end of the first. The second period only had one goal, but it was some exciting game play with 13-11 shots on net. McKenzie spotted Piller in front of the net, and despite having two Bruins shoving him, he was able to put one in the top corner.

Fast forward to the third, the game seemed to be wrapped up with the Wings ahead 3-2, but with less than

a minute left the Bruins once again tied up the game and sent it into overtime. At 3:39 in overtime, Anderson sent the puck ahead to Hiltz who had a break-away and sealed the 4-3 overtime winner.

With the Red Wings looking to keep their win streak alive, the two teams headed to Estevan for a rematch Saturday night. The game remained scoreless until the last few seconds in the first with a Bruins goal.

The Red Wings were fairly quick to answer back in the second though with

Olson smoothly walking into the zone and snapped a goal. The Bruins scored three more goals before Connor Pyne used his silky mitts to deke Grant Boldt out and put the puck behind him.

At 19:05 Jordan Kazymyra fired a beauty up top to shorten the goal gap to one. However, with Levesque pulled for an extra man, the Bruins were able to use a Red Wings shot gone wrong to score an empty netter and make the game 5-3.

The Melville Million-

aires also won their game against the Yorkton Terriers Friday night, but then lost to them on Saturday so the Wings and Millionaires remain tied for points after the weekend. For their final game of the regular season that will ultimately decide who moves onto the survivors series, the Weyburn Red Wings hosted the Yorkton Terriers on Tuesday, March 5.

Evening with STARS to raise funds

By Greg Nikkel A n E ve n i n g w i t h STARS is set to take stage on Tuesday, April 9 at McKenna Hall in Weyburn, starting at 5:30 pm. The affair will host special guests from the STARS Trauma Team, headed by CEO and President Andrea Robertson.

The goal for this fundraising event is to raise funds to build a helicopter emergency landing pad for the future new hospital to serve Weyburn and area.

All proceeds will go to the Weyburn and District Hospital Foundation as efforts continue to build and equip a new hospital for Weyburn and area.

STARS has benefitted and helped many local families, and some of them will be sharing their stories in the coming weeks about this invaluable service, including Jean Fahlman of Weyburn. She shared how her daughter and son-inlaw were directly impacted by the services of the STARS Air Ambulance as they helped save a life.

Michael and Holly Gammon worked as a doctor and nurse in the hospital in Brooks, Alta., but their lives were abruptly changed by a serious accident involving Michael on June 5, 2010, which happened to be his 65th birthday. He was driving from Brooks to Bassano when his car rolled over and he was seriously injured.

“We didn’t know why he had that accident,” said Jean, noting Michael has no memory of the accident.

Some time after the accident, Jean and her family met a woman who happened to be a witness of the rollover, and this shed some light on how the accident occurred.

The woman said Michael had passed her on

the highway, and while travelling ahead of her, he seemed to turn his head to something in the car. He swerved and hit a soft spot on the shoulder, tried to correct himself and ended up rolling over in the ditch.

Michael was taken to hospital in Brooks, and the doctor on call treated him but had no idea how to deal with the extensive injuries Michael had, so the STARS Air Ambulance was called. Michael’s wife Holly was also there as she had been called in.

“STARS responded with a team with a woman and two men, and they worked on him for two hours before they had him stable enough to fly him to Calgary. They were wonderful, and they

H&R BLOCK 28 Coteau Ave. E., Weyburn

Weyburn developer Dan Cugnet is maintaining his opposition to the offsite development levy, which is being charged by the City of Weyburn for his CottonWood development project on Hartney Avenue.

He had applied to city council to have the levy waived, but council denied the request, and instead will give him credit for 16 of the residential lots.

As the developer, he will have a development levy of $13,536.

The CottonWood pro-

ject is replacing the former Pioneer Place cottages, which were demolished and removed, and the land was remediated to prepare for the new development.

Cugnet noted that the costs for sewer, water, paving, sidewalks and curbing are entirely borne by the developer, and then these assets are turned over and essentially gifted and assumed by the city to own in perpetuity, maintain and generate tax revenue from.

The city does not have one single dime invested in-

included Holly in their efforts to save his life,” said Jean. “She thought they were so professional and so compassionate. The care they gave him in Brooks saved his life.”

The woman from the STARS trauma team came to the hospital in Calgary where he was in ICU, and watched as medical staff there continued to treat him.

For her to follow up at the hospital “was above and beyond, with the interest she showed” in his care, and this impressed the family very much, and Jean noted that there is no doubt in Holly’s mind that her husband’s life was saved by their efforts in Brooks before transporting him.

This is Michael and Holly Gammon prior to Michael’s accident in 2010 on the highway near Brooks. Michael was a doctor and Holly was a nurse, and Michael had to be airlifted to Calgary to be treated.

Holly said “without a doubt” STARS saved his life, as a trauma crew worked on him for two hours before he was transported to Calgary.

nurse, and took up residence in Calgary to be near Michael as he embarked on a long, slow journey to recovery from his severe injuries. Doctors felt he would never walk again, but he is able to walk now with assistance.

“They have had two grandchildren since that time, and he is enjoying them a lot. They are very understanding of his condition,” said Jean. “We certainly know that STARS saved his life, without any doubt, and for that we are very grateful,” she added.

“He’ll never be the same, but he’s better than we thought he would ever be.”

There will be time to meet the STARS trauma team members and ask questions in addition to opportunities to bid on special items. This special fundraising dinner and social evening for STARS will also include representatives from local service providers, including the Weyburn Police Service, Weyburn Fire Brigade, Weyburn Emergency Medical Services, Weyburn General Hospital staff members and the local RCMP detachment, who are stepping up to assist with table service and showcase some of their non-emergency talents.

The community of Weyburn is grateful for the 24-hour service provided by public protective and emergency service providers.

Glenn Rogers of AM1190 will emcee the evening and Angelo Fresnido and his team at McKenna Catering are already at work planning for a great meal, sure to be enjoyed by all who attend.

Tickets of $100 per person will be on sale starting today, March 6, through the Weyburn and District Hospital Foundation office and Pharmasave Weyburn.

to this project or any other private development’s infrastructure where they charge this levy, as it pertains to the actual physical project and works.

“The city gets significant property tax dollars to continue to maintain that infrastructure in coming years and also the demands on water and sewer. In fact, when sold out and fully developed it will generate around a $100,000 per year in tax revenues for the city.

Over a 10-year span, that’s a million dollars. It should be decades before those assets need any kind of attention or improvement from the city,” said Cugnet.

“Please remember for sewer and water, we pay monthly and ongoing fees based on our usage for these services because they are a utility. The argument and rationale is completely flawed for this levy, and if

the city was putting in the infrastructure I’d happily pay their levy. They are not,” he added.

He points out that for this project alone, it will cost close to a $500,000 just for the infrastructure that is going in, plus the carrying costs for it and the land, and added that it could take years or decades for the development to sell out at the current rate of city growth.

“This levy lacks consistency, its aims and goals are not transparent to me as developer or a ratepayer, and it does nothing to improve the city of Weyburn or the investment climate in this community,” said Cugnet. “Due to this, it will continue to arise and be a subjective discussion and decision-making process for the council and admin of the day moving forward.”

Singing and clapping to ‘Bigger Than That’

Review Photo 9325 — Greg Nikkel

Students and staff from Weyburn’s four public elementary schools were on their feet clapping for singer Ryan Laird, as he performed his title song from his tour, “Bigger Than That”, for the Pink Shirt Day concert on Friday afternoon at the Cugnet Centre. The students were from Queen Elizabeth, Haig, Souris and Assiniboia Park Schools, and heard Laird share his experiences of chasing his dreams to be a singer, and overcoming bullying.

Singer urges students to pursue dreams, stay positive

By Greg Nikkel Elementary students from Weyburn’s four public schools clapped along and cheered loudly for singer Ryan Laird at the Pink Shirt Day concert on Friday afternoon at the Cugnet Centre, and listened as he urged them to pursue their dreams and to stay positive.

The native of Fergus, Ont., brought his “Bigger Than That” tour, which included bringing up stu-

dents onto the stage to ask them what goals they are pursuing, and to participate as singers and air guitarists on one song.

In between each song, Laird shared some of his personal story, including how he gained attention as an up-and-coming country singer in Nashville by placing a huge billboard across from Taylor Swift’s studio office, asking her to help him produce an album of his music.

During his stay in Nashville, he wrote about 300 songs, and “after a while, I realized something. There are thousands of brand new singers who come to Nashville all the time. If I was going to stand out, I needed to think of something that was different.”

After the billboard went up, “I couldn’t believe what happened,” he said, as he saw a news report on TV where Taylor responded by saying she heard his music and loved his songs, and would love to meet him and work with him.

“Nobody knew my songs, but after this came out, I got new opportunities that I wouldn’t have had before,” said Laird, adding he decided not to pay attention to negativity, but determined he would stay positive.

“Always believe in yourself. If you really want to do it, the most important

thing is to believe in yourself,” he said, before bringing up students from the four schools to ask them what their goals were.

One student said she wants to finish elementary school, another wants to train dogs to be service animals, and one student wants to play for the midget AAA Gold Wings hockey team.

“The students who came up here really believe in themselves,” Laird told the audience. “Even if you don’t come up on stage, you can still believe in yourself.”

He talked about his own experience going into Grade 6 at a new school, noting that after he took part in a talent show where he put himself forward as wanting to be a country singer, there was a girl named Ashley and her friends who picked on him and made fun of his goal,

making life very difficult for him. “The bullying got so bad I almost left school and almost gave up on chasing my goal,” said Laird, adding that he talked to adults in his life and at the school and decided not to give up on his dreams of being a singer.

He urged any students in the audience facing challenges like this to do likewise. “It’s a really good thing to reach out to someone you can trust.

You can go to a teacher, a counsellor, a parent or a police officer,” he said.

Laird then played a song based on these experiences, called “Hey Ashley”, in which he addresses his former bully and says, “look at me now”.

In bringing up four singers and four air guitar players, he pointed out to the audience that they too are pursuing dreams in music, and dubbed the

group the “Future Eagles” group as they performed with him.

In regard to using social media, Laird said it’s okay for the kids to use the various platforms, as long as they observed the rule “to be kind and respectful”, before singing his song, “Social Media Mania”.

His finale was the title song from his tour, “Bigger Than That”, and he urged all of the students and staff present to be bigger than the problems they face and to stay positive with their friends and classmates.

The concert was sponsored by the Weyburn Oilwomen group, and Kayla Cugnet represented the organization as she accepted a thank-you presented by four students, one from each of the four public schools, Haig, Souris, Assiniboia Park and Queen Elizabeth.

Makling his point for Pink Shirt Day Singer Ryan Laird made his point to the students from four elementary schools, as he brought his “Bigger Than Than” tour to the Cugnet Centre on Friday afternoon for the Pink Shirt Day concert.

Dancing fun for Telemiracle

Review Photo 9612 — Greg Nikke

Friends danced together as they had fun moving to the music at St. Michael School while raising funds for Telemiracle, which was held over the weekend in Saskatoon for the Kinsmen Foundation. Students had the option of donating a toonie each as part of the school’s contribution towards Telemiracle.

Weyburn aims to win the ‘Go Out and Play’ challenge It’s time to go out and play for a chance to win $10,000 and be crowned the 2019 Go Out & Play champions.

Saskatchewan Blue Cross and Saskatchewan in motion have challenged communities across the province to go out and play. The community with the most minutes of physical activity logged during the 10-day challenge will win the grand prize of $10,000.

The City of Weyburn has accepted this challenge and all residents are needed to help us win. The City is counting on friends, neigh-

bours and family members to get moving during this year’s challenge, which takes place from March 1 – 10, 2019. The City of Weyburn plans to put the $10,000 prize to good use by constructing a new outdoor skating rink that will be located in Jubilee Park.

Last year, the community of Kenaston took the lead and won the challenge by logging over 419,650 minutes of physical activity. It’s easy to participate and register your minutes of physical activity online.

Here’s what you need to do every day of the challenge: 1. Be physically active. 2.

Log on to the challenge website (challenge.saskatchewaninmotion.ca).

Individuals and families can create their profiles.

3. Register your minutes of physical activity from March 1 – 10 to add to the City of Weyburn’s total.

The Go Out & Play Challenge powered by Saskatchewan Blue Cross is designed to get communities working together to make a positive difference and get more kids active outdoors more often.

For more information, rules and regulations visit challenge.saskatchewaninmotion.ca.

Sask. Health urges updated measles vaccinations for families The Ministry of Health is strongly encouraging Saskatchewan residents to ensure their measles immunizations are up-todate. There are currently no confirmed cases of measles in Saskatchewan; however, vaccinations are key to staying healthy and preventing the spread of the disease.

The measles vaccination is routinely given as MMRV vaccination to all children at 12 and 18 months of age in Saskatchewan. All children in Saskatchewan starting school should have received two doses of a measles containing vaccine - MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella).

People born in 1970 or later are also eligible for MMR if they have not received two doses of a measles vaccine in the past. Individuals travelling with infants six-11 months of age outside of

North America and the Caribbean should contact their local public health office to inquire if they need a vaccination against measles.

Regardless of travel plans, all Saskatchewan residents age one year and older should ensure they are up-to-date on their measles vaccinations.

Measles cases are rare in Canada, but do occur typically as a result of international travel. Currently there are measles cases reported in British Columbia and in the United States. The last reported case of measles in Saskatchewan was in 2014. Measles is a viral infection that is airborne and can spread easily from person to person, even without direct contact.

People who have contracted measles usually have the following symptoms: fever (38.3 C or greater); cough; spots in

the mouth appearing one to two days before the rash; a red blotchy rash appearing on days 3-5 and usually lasting for four to seven days; runny nose; and redness of the eyes and inner eyelids and/or light sensitivity.

Symptoms usually occur within eight to 12 days after exposure, but this timeframe can range from seven to 21 days post-exposure. Measles is highly contagious from about four days before the appearance of the rash until about four days after.

If a person develops the symptoms listed above, they should call ahead before going to see their physician to ensure they are seen in a manner that minimizes exposure to others in the waiting area. For more information on immunizations, residents can contact their local public health office.
