Ugandan children’s choir performs in Weyburn

Review Photo 1381 — Greg Nikkel

The rhythms and songs of Uganda, along with songs of worship and praise, were on display as the Watoto Children’s Choir performed at Silver Heights Bible Church in Weyburn on Thursday evening. The choir group is on a six-month tour, and featured music from their latest album, “We Will Go”.

Group Homes request to build in the Creeks denied

By Greg Nikkel A request by the Weyburn Group Homes Society for the Saskatchewan Housing Authority to build a personal care home in the Creeks residential area was denied by city council by a 4-1 vote on Monday evening.

The proposal was to build and develop the care home for four residents at 137 DeLaet Drive in the Creeks, which is located on the city’s east side, with two to three staff on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The residents would have been mentally or physically disabled to some degree, requiring help with daily living tasks.

The care home would have been operated under licence by the Group Homes Society, and would have been subject to provincial and municipal regulations.

When the City of Weyburn sent out notice to the residents in the area of the proposal, there were concerns expressed, and in response, Colin Folk of the Group Homes Society met with residents to explain what was being proposed, and to allay any fears over the proposal.

Coun. Brad Wheeler,

who is a resident in the area, spoke to council on behalf of the other residents of the Creeks, and said there were real concerns over property values being impacted by such a development. He noted the average value of the homes there is over $700,000, and is a “lifetime” home for some of the residents.

“There are safety concerns, as there are a lot of young children in the area.

These people are physically or mentally challenged, and we are the furthest point away from any point in the city. To get residents anywhere, they will have to be bussed, and there are concerns about that,” said Coun.

Wheeler, adding there are no guarantees that the level of care would never change, or that if there is a change in government, there could be policy changes as well.

“It’s not politically correct to say there’s a stigma attached, but there is. I feel badly if this is the case, but these residents have invested a lot of money in their homes. To have the provincial government come in and pick a lot I don’t think was the best choice,” said Coun.

Wheeler.

Coun. Winston Bailey supported those concerns, but noted, “The last thing I want to do is tell a business not to come and develop in the city.”

He had been in contact with some of the residents in the area and heard the concerns that they raised, agreeing with the suggestion that property values could be negatively impacted by such a development.

“I definitely echo the other councillors and I will not be supporting this project,” added Coun. Jeff Chessall. “I do wonder how much discussion there was between the developer and the residents.”

“I’m struggling with

this one, folks,” said Coun.

Dick Michel, telling council he was not able to make a decision without more information, in particular from the developer.

He asked for the decision to be postponed for two weeks to allow him to get more information about the proposal, but he was voted down by the rest of council.

“Another two weeks is not going to delay anything.

It has to be handled properly,” he said, adding he has heard the concern of the residents but wants to hear from the developer.

Amanda Kaufmann, planning and development coordinator for the City, said the developer of the Creeks,

Doug Rogers, “has no opinion on this one way or the other”, and that the development came from the Sask.

Housing Authority and Group Homes.

“I totally respect the need for more types of housing, but I’m not ready to support it out there,” said Coun. Bailey.

Coun. Wheeler noted this decision was just saying “no” to developing this lot in the Creeks, and suggested there may be other areas of the city or other lots that could be developed for this use.

• In other council business, three asphalt and paving projects were approved for 2019, in addi-

tion to the projects already set for Government Road and Sims Avenue. Council approved bids for milling and paving a section of Mergens Street following a watermain replacement, to pave 16th Street north from Veterans Road for 660 metres, and to pave a section of Fifth Avenue SE between Third and Fourth Streets, with an “extensive rebuild” of the section required.

United Paving (83) of Swift Current was approved for the first two projects at a cost of $91,894 and $210,988 respectively, and ASL Paving was approved for the third project at a bid of $256,310.

Solar power generating project proposed

By Greg Nikkel A solar power generating project is being proposed for the RM of Weyburn, with the plan to have it commissioned by December of 2020.

An open house for the project was held at the Captain’s Hall on Wednesday for the public to hear information and provide any input they might have.

The project is being proposed by the Pesakastew Solar Limited Partnership on 90 acres of land located just southwest of Weyburn, using an array of photovoltaic solar panels to produce 10 megawatts of power for Saskatchewan’s electrical grid. The project would be developed by a renewable energy company, Natural Forces, who are partners

along with George Gordon Developments Ltd. and Red Dog Holdings Ltd., both First Nations companies.

“The RM has met with Natural Forces several times and looks forward to continuing to foster a good working relationship as the project continues to be developed and into its operation. At the recent open

house for the project, the public had an opportunity to meet the proponents, to take a look at the proposal, to see where the process is at and to ask questions,” said Reeve Carmen Sterling of the RM of Weyburn, noting the project has the potential of being the first utility-scale solar project in Saskatchewan.

Work crews were busy drilling down pilings for Weyburn’s new elementary school on Friday, at the location on Fifth Street next to the Weyburn Leisure Centre’s parking lot. The school will be built alongside the City of Weyburn’s new Weyburn Recreation and Culture Centre (WRCC), with the project expected to take about two years to complete, with opening of the new elementary school slated for September of 2021.

Pulse growers should get soil testing done

By Greg Nikkel Producers who want to grow pulse crops need to do their homework, including testing the soil of their fields, before deciding on what varieties to grow, and what fertilizer to use, farmers heard at the “Between The Rows” grower meetings.

Parrish and Heimbecker hosted the meetings on March 5 and 6 at McKenna Hall, with many experts and company representatives on hand to speak on a variety of topics.

Sherri Roberts, a crops extension specialist for Sask. Agriculture, gave a presentation, “Pulse It Up”, about what producers need to consider if they are planning to plant pulse crops this spring.

There are a number of factors that producers need to take into consideration, including weather trends, crop rotation history, fertilizer and varietal selections.

Roberts noted there is ongoing crop research that

has shown how some crop varieties do better in one area than another, and how certain crops respond to the variety of fertilizers that are on the market.

Even within one type of crop, such as lentils, some areas of the province will have better yields and crop quality than other areas, she said.

Saskatchewan Crop Insurance has a website that has data available on the different varieties of crops, with plot tests in different locations to show what soil types are better for certain types of pulses.

As one example, she had data for Crop District 2A in the southeast that shows a green pea variety called Striker has done better than other varieties. Some varieties will yield better in this area, but provincially won’t produce the best yields.

In another test, in Crop District 2B, peas that were sown on a field that previously had barley had the highest yield, where peas

grown on a field that had flax had yields that were 500 kg less per acre, which is a significant difference.

The bottom line, said Roberts, is to do soil testing so a farmer knows what crop varieties are best in an area, and what combination of fertilizer would work best.

An important consideration to growing pulses is if a given field has the proper nutrients available, said Roberts. “If you don’t keep putting nutrients back in, you’ll have a deficit. Be aware of what your crops are going to need — which is why it’s important to do soil testing.”

Roberts showed some recent research test results that have just been published by the University of Saskatchewan, including one test that showed the yield differences in the amount and type of fertilizer for growing faba beans and lentils.

Some tests showed that using 10 kg of nitrogen per

ging the A ears of Brin

hectare in some cases had better yield results than putting 20 kg of nitrogen.

In regard to faba beans, Roberts said there is good potential for this pulse in this area, but the soil needs to be tested “or you’re going to have a real mess on your hands.”

Another factor is the dryness of a region and the use of herbicides, said Roberts, noting there are studies that show in a particularly dry region, herbicides applied in a previous year are still in the soil, which may pose a risk to future crops, depending on the crop rotation on a given field.

Managing weeds is also a factor, as Roberts noted she saw fields last year that wild mustard and wild oats on the periphery that should have been mown down but wasn’t. She said even just cutting some of the peripheral areas can make a big difference, as wild oats can produce up to 500 seeds in one plant, and the seeds are viable for up to nine years. With wild mustard, seeds are viable for up to 60 years, and one plant can produce as many as 3,000 seeds.

By Greg Nikkel Producers of canola are anxiously watching the news, after getting word of a possible loss of Canada’s biggest customer of canola in the past week.

Growers heard a market outlook for canola at the “Between the Rows” meetings held on March 5 and 6 at McKenna Hall, as Marlene Boersch of Mercantile Consulting Venture presented information about how this year is shaping up on the world market.

She included information about soybean markets as well, as this has an effect on how canola is traded, as she noted soybeans comprise 60 per cent of the volume of oilseeds, and rapeseed (canola) is about 20 per cent. For soybeans, the U.S., Brazil and Argentina make up 82 per cent of the world’s production.

Canada is the world’s largest exporter of canola, but this year, “we’ll be happy if we do 10.5 million tonnes” in shipping, said Boersch, adding it is anticipated there will be a carryover of stock from last year of some 2.5 million tonnes.

China had been the biggest single customer of canola, but just this week they stopped buying canola, saying that the oilseed is contaminated, even though Canadian grain inspectors state there is nothing wrong with Canada’s canola crops.

One major factor that farmers will have to contend with is the trade dispute between the United States and China, which could be resolved if President Trump is able to reach a trade agreement with China.

Boersch said Trump “made the dumbest move I’ve ever seen” in regards to trade with China, and noted that American farmers will be hurt bad if this dispute is not resolved. Based on how canola exports are shaping up, Boersch suggested that

canola producers should liquidate any old crop they may have on hand, and look for selling opportunities for the new crop.

The top buyers of canola are China (4 million tonnes), Japan (2.35 million tonnes), Mexico (1.3 million tonnes), Pakistan (650,000 tonnes), the U.S. (500,000 tonnes) and France-European Union (650,000 tonnes).

Sales so far in 2019 have reached 5.5 million tonnes, but Canada is about 400,000 tonnes behind this time last year, noted Boersch.

“We’ll have to see how it pans out politically,” she said, pointing out Canada could end up with a carryover as high as 3.4 to 3.5 million tonnes. It is expected that there will be a three-per-cent decline in acres planted for canola, particularly for farms that have yields of 35 bushels per acre or lower. “Canada is very dependent on trade, but we don’t have a lot of weight to throw around,” noted Boersch. “If the U.S. and China come to an agreement, we might actually see a bit of a blip in futures.”

For pulse crops, some crops have a good outlook this year, such as for peas.

Boersch noted that Canada sells 70 per cent of their peas to China, and while “there are political risks with China,” there have been 800,000 tonnes of peas sold so far this year. Something pea growers might look forward to is a new pea fractioning plant being built in Portage La Prairie, Man., which is to open by late 2020, and may source peas from Saskatchewan.

In regard to lentils, Boersch said Kazakhstan has an advantage of a much lower cost of production over Canada. Lentil production in Canada peaked in 201617, with India being the biggest customer of lentils, and Turkey is the second biggest. A challenge with India is the government there has developed protectionist policies, which may affect the volume of lentils they buy from Canada.

The volume of lentils sold last year was about 1.9 million tonnes, which Boersch said is a fairly healthy level of trade, due in part to a drought in Australia, and carryover stocks might be a bit down going forward.

Government names Tommy Douglas as a ‘Person of National Historic Significance’ Thomas Clement “Tommy” Douglas is an icon associated with the implementation of Canada-wide public health care, a program that remains deeply tied to Canadian identity and values to this day.

Ralph Goodale, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness and Member of Parliament for Regina—Wascana, commemorated the national historic significance of Thomas Clement “Tommy” Douglas with a plaque unveiling ceremony on Thursday at the TC Douglas Building in Regina. The announcement was made on behalf of the Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, Catherine McKenna.

The TC Douglas Calvary Centre originally put the nomination forward and were instrumental in having Mr. Douglas designated. Wendy Sidloski and Ron Wormsbecker represented the Centre and participated in the unveiling.

“On behalf of the Government of Canada, I am honoured to commemorate the national historic significance of Tommy Douglas.

Through compassion, an unwavering commitment to social justice, and integrity, he helped improve the lives of Canadians. Above all, he left us the legacy of the publicly funded health insurance program across Canada that is central to our Canadian values. As a native of Saskatchewan, I

Ron Wormsbeck and Wendy Sidloski of the Tommy Douglas Centre, at left, gathered with Dr. Bill Waiser, the Saskatchewan member for the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, at the unveiling of a new plaque commemorating the former premier as a “Person of National Significance” at the Tommy Douglas Building in Regina. am proud of Tommy Douglas’ accomplishments and I encourage all Canadians to learn more about his significant role in our country’s history,” said Goodale at the unveiling.

Tommy Douglas was born on Oct. 20, 1904, in Falkirk, Scotland, to a religious, working-class family, who encouraged him to debate politics, religion, and current events while being open to other perspectives. The family

moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1911. His commitment to civil liberties was reinforced after witnessing ‘Bloody Saturday’ during the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike, where several strikers were killed and leaders arrested. He went on to become an ordained pastor in Weyburn at Calvary Baptist Church in 1932, and the following year, he helped found and led the first social democratic government in

North America, the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF).

Serving five terms as the Premier of Saskatchewan from 1944 to 1961, his government created an ambitious and innovative program of social reform that included the introduction of labour and human rights codes, and a new approach to relations between Indigenous peoples and government.

Douglas was also an im-

portant influence on the development of medicare in Canada, building on the Saskatchewan tradition of co-operative values to implement the first publicly funded, universally accessible hospital insurance plan in 1947.

In 1961, Douglas returned to federal politics as leader of the newlycreated New Democratic Party (NDP), an alliance between the CCF and the

Canadian Labour Congress. During his 10-years as leader of the NDP, he wielded significant influence while in a minority government setting, pushing for the adoption of national social welfare programs, such as medicare and old age pensions, as well as advocating for human rights. For his lifetime of service, he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada in 1980, and then in a nation-wide vote for a CBC-TV program, he was named “The Greatest Canadian.”

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

OPINION

4 - The Review, Weyburn, Saskatchewan, March 13, 2019

Editorial Understanding, not fear, is needed

A

proposed project to build a personal care group home in a residential area came up for a vote at Weyburn’s city council on Monday night, and it really shouldn’t have been that big a deal.

The proposal was for a group home for four residents in the Creeks subdivision, with two or three round-the-clock staff, as they care for people who are physically or mentally challenged.

They would just be living their lives quietly, not bothering anyone, really very innocuous — but this somehow wasn’t the case, as several residents expressed reservations about this proposal.

In the end, city council voted against the proposal 4-1, citing some of the concerns that were raised by the residents, and it raises the question about whether people really have any idea what a group home is or would involve.

Coun. Brad Wheeler, who spoke up at council to voice some of those concerns as he also lives in that subdivision, brought the “elephant in the room” out into the open in a way, as he noted that it isn’t “politically correct” to attach a stigma to these residents, and said he felt badly if that was the case.

Some of the concerns raised were completely unsubstantiated, such as concerns over safety and over property values. In regards to safety, what dangers would there be?

Group home residents live quietly, and are cared for by trained staff 24/7. They do not pose a danger to anyone.

A concern was voiced that there would have to be transportation provided. Weyburn Group Homes have their own bus, which would quietly pull up, take on the residents and drive away. To say this is a danger is badly overstating things, as school buses come by all the time, and they are completely safe for the children, as is expected by all families whose children attend school.

There was also a claim that this residence, which would look basically the same as any other home, would pull down property values. What basis is there to say that? No evidence of this was put forward, but the fear was voiced and was accepted at face value.

There were other options looked at in Weyburn and this was felt to be the best and most suitable location to build.

In this day and age where people should be gaining more understanding about one another, there should not be instances of fear about people who are vulnerable and need care for living. There should be a dialogue and understanding, not promoting a stigma of fear. — Greg Nikkel

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

Nice weather we’re having …

My Nikkel’s Worth

By Greg Nikkel Email: editor@weyburnreview.com

Isn’t it funny that one of the topics that anyone and everyone will talk about is one of those things that absolutely none of us has any control over in any way?

And no, I don’t mean politics or death (although those too might apply), I mean the weather.

If ever you’re stuck for a conversation topic and you just don’t know what to say … you can always fall back on the weather.

People always have an opinion on it, whether to complain about it or to lament it, or to praise it when the weather turns nice outside.

One might think this would be a boring topic to bring up — but think about it, whenever you’re out somewhere and you’re chatting about how things are going. If there was a hard wind blowing outside, with a high wind chill or snow blowing, wouldn’t you be talking about that, about how bad it is?

This area has seen its share of weather occurrences over the years, to be sure, and this past year has had some doozies.

How about the sheer extremes that we’ve seen here? In less than a year, we’ve seen records set for extreme heat and for extreme cold, with an 80-degree difference between the two. Last August, on the second day of the Weyburn Wheat Festival, a wind right out of an oven blew in and we had heat hitting close to 41 degrees.

That was incredibly hot, and thank goodness it was a dry heat, because if there was any humidity in that, it could have literally killed people.

Then just a few weeks ago here, we had that same temperature on the minus side, as we reached that temperature which is the same on both the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales, -40.

The young ladies in the office did an experiment of throwing boiling hot water into the air and it was cool to watch that water just dissipate into a mist.

Now, after what seemed like an extended period of Arctic air pushing our overnight lows to the -20s and -30s, the weather is finally turning nice again, and you can bet that, yes, there will be a lot of discussions over coffee and at mealtime about how nice it feels to have more moderate temperatures once more.

Just recently the temperature outside got up to about -15 or so, and I remember telling someone you know it’s bad when that temperature actually feels good.

Well, as they say, it’s all relative, and the weather is good or bad compared to what we’ve experienced recently. Since it is completely out of our control, and at times completely unpredictable (when is the forecast ever right?), it will continue to be a topic of conversation, until the government muffs up again.

Teddy bears/supplies collected for medical mission to Kenya Knitted teddy bears and bunnies, and sanitary pads and pouches, were gathered at the annual Teddy Bear Tea on Saturday at the Allie Griffin Art Gallery, organized by Marnie Bernard of Khedive.

The collection is done every year with all of the bears and pads given to the Canadian Nurses for Africa, who will be sending a group of Canadian nurses to Kenya in April.

Canadian Nurses for Africa was formed in 2007

by Marnie’s sister-in-law, Gail Wolters of Burlington, Ont., and formerly of Khedive. CNFA is a nurse-led volunteer organization empowering nurses to use their highly developed skills and knowledge in a field setting, in particular with medical missions to Kenya.

Last year for the 2018 mission, the nurses saw a total of 5,823 people over 11 days. This number does not include the 315 people the nurses treated for jiggers, the 181 people who were tested positive for malaria and treated for, the 90 wounds treated, the 405 young girls taught sexual education and given reusable sanitary pads, the 1,559 kids dewormed, and the 411 people given reading glasses.

The nurses also did 12 home visits and sent 19 people to the hospital for further treatment.

The organization was formed when Wolters met Aggrey Mulamba, who is from the Vihiga region of Kenya, and hearing of the

lack of affordable health care was moved to help those communities. She began organizing in Canada and Aggrey began talking to the communities in Kenya.

The first mission travelled in May 2009 with eight nurses and conducted eight clinics. The nurses worked alongside 12 Kenyan nurses and clinical officers. The needs in these communities were overwhelming and they committed to return and to add programs as they were able.

The Canadian nurses treat a wide range of illnesses, with malaria and upper respiratory problems being the most frequent. They also treat many wounds and do point-of-care diabetes testing. Along with their daily clinics, they conduct sexual health education classes for men, women and students, deworming programs in schools, a jiggers eradication program and finance the building of school latrines. They also provide hospital care for the acutely ill that are seen at the clinics.

The goal of the nurses is to improve the general health of those who live in the area. Improved health results in improved school performance and higher levels of employment. The nurses organization will continue to provide ongoing programs, such as a jiggers eradication program, school deworming program, and building school latrines in order to meet their objectives.

Packing up sanitary napkins bound for Kenya

Review Photo 2298 — Greg Nikkel

Jaynie Himsl, right, and Lois Olson gathered some of the donated sanitary napkins and the pouches specially made for holding them, at the Teddy Bear Tea on Saturday afternoon at the Allie Griffin Art Gallery.

Ladies sewed and donated these pouches and napkins, along with knitting and sewing teddy bears and bunnies, all to be taken to Kenya in April by volunteers with the Canadian Nurses for Africa.

Solar power generating project is proposed Continued from Front According to information provided by the proponents, the benefits of this project is to provide clean electricity to 2,400 homes, and displace the equivalent of 18,860 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent a year.

“When the project proponent first approached the RM, council was given a presentation on why the area was chosen and the general process to be followed in developing the project.

Given SaskPower’s renewable energy target, we all know how important it is to consider alternative energy sources such as wind and solar energy. SaskPower gave a presentation to council at their February meeting, which confirmed much of the same information provided by Natural Forces that the R.M. of Weyburn is a key location on the grid for expansion of renew-

able energy with a focus on solar,” she explained.

The RM’s Zoning Bylaw does not currently have any regulations for solar energy, however, the RM has identified its importance and is going through the process of amending the bylaw to accommodate solar development, for both residential and commercial properties.

As such the bylaw needs to be amended, “a development permit from the RM has not been issued yet but adjacent landowners will be notified once the proposal is at that stage. There are still some provincial requirements that need to be met prior to the permitting stage of the development,” said Reeve Sterling.

The project requires a technical proposal, which will be submitted to Saskatchewan Environmental Assessment and Stewardship, with the preliminary

environmental studies needed currently underway on the proposed site.

The studies began in the spring of 2018 and will continue through the spring of 2019. Once this is submitted, Sask. Environment’s technical review committee will determine if an environment impact assessment will be required.

There is an extensive list of studies that will be done, including soil mapping, a heritage resource review, studies on migratory and breeding birds, vegetation and weeds, wetland delimination, amphibian auditory, raptor nest and owl surveys, noise studies, and studies on whether the area has sharptailed grouse and common night hawks in the area and what impact this development might have.

Natural Forces is a private independent power producer that delivers re-

newable energy projects in partnership with local communities across Canada.

They develop, construct, own and operate wind, solar and hydro projects with First Nations communities, municipalities, universities and local community funds.

George Gordon Developments is the economic development branch George Gordon First Nation, and through partnerships have been able to enter bids on major projects related to resource development with renowned North American companies. Red Dog Holdings is the economic development branch of Star Blanket Cree Nation, and their goal is to develop long-term partnerships with companies that have shared values and objectives, aiming to provide opportunities for sustainable employment, training, wealth creation and community development.

Comp Senior Girls host tournament The Weyburn Comp Eagles senior girls hosted a home four-team tournament on Friday and Saturday as the final weekend of regular play before playoffs begin.

They won their game on Friday evening against the Yorkton Raiders by a score of 57-40. The game was a good warm-up for Saturday when they had to play two tough teams, Estevan and Notre Dame.

“The girls worked like a single unit and dominated the game from the first quarter. Their teamwork was unstoppable,” said coach Karly Johnson. Weyburn took the game against Estevan 79-56.

The final game of the weekend pitted Weyburn against Notre Dame.

Although Notre Dame had a huge size advantage, the Eagles held a close lead for most of the game. In the fourth quarter the Notre Dame Hounds hit a few extra shots that finally gave them the lead and they ended up winning 72-67.

The tournament was a great way to prepare for Regionals in Prince Albert this weekend. The Eagles will face Yorkton Raiders Friday night for the quarterfinal game. If they win, they advance to the semi-final to play Swift Current, a team they have not seen since December. The top two teams from Regionals will advance

to Hoopla.

The senior boys did not play over the weekend, but are preparing to host the SHSAA 4A Boys Regional Basketball finals on Friday and Saturday, March 15 and 16, in the Eagle gym, and their first game will be at 8 p.m. on Friday.

The junior teams played in district finals, with the Comp hosting the junior boys and junior girls districts, while intermediate boys and girls played in Estevan.

The WCS intermediate boys basketball season ended on Friday, as they played ECS in Estevan and defeated them 56-55 by Parker Mantei’s dramatic buzzer beater.

The intermediate girls also went to Estevan and lost in the final to finish in second place.

In the districts held on Wednesday, the junior girls played in the Cugnet Centre, while the junior boys played in the Eagle gym.

The junior girls first met up with St. Mary’s from Estevan, and the girls won that game 43-26.

Later, they lost to Moosomin by the score of 43-31 in the district final to finish in second place.

The junior boys beat Estevan in the final by the score of 86-41 to claim first place for the southeast district.

The Haupstein rink finished first in the round-robin with a perfect 3-0 record on Friday. They defeated Allan by a score of 8-0, and went on to win 9-7 over Maple Creek and 10-4 over L.P. Miller of Nipawin.

This advanced them to the championship round on Saturday, where they defeated Spiritwood by a score of 11-2, and Allan by a score of 13-1 to win the provincial championship.

At the SHSAA boys provincials in Humboldt, Team Field finished fourth overall. The team includes skip Landon Field, Hunter Labbie, Keegan Woodard, Gregg Wiens and Aiden Field. In the round-robin on Friday, the Field rink lost 6-5 to North Battleford Comprehensive, and won 5-1 over Moose Jaw Central and 7-5 over Hum-

boldt.

This advanced them to the championship round on Saturday, where they lost 5-3 to Regina Campbell, and in the playoff for third place, they lost 8-6 to North Battleford.

Team Nikolejsin finished fourth in their pool in the round-robin and did not advance to the playoff round. The team included skip Ty Nikolejsin, Kane Hooper, Carson Field and Kobe Kmita.

Red Wings season comes to an end in the Survivor Series

By April Zielke After just squeezing their way into the playoffs, the Weyburn Red Wings played a best-of-three survivor series against the Flin Flon Bombers, and were swept in two straight games.

The series started off in Weyburn on Friday night.

It was certainly not the first period the Red Wings were hoping for with four Bombers goals, one of which was shorthanded. Nonetheless, the Red Wings showed up

in the second period ready to give the Bombers a run for their money.

For starters, a lineup change put Ben Laidlaw between the pipes for the remainder of the game.

One minute and 23 seconds into the frame, Jacob Piller used a rebounded shot by Jevon Schwean to slip the puck between the legs of the Bombers’ goaltender.

The Bombers answered back quickly to make it 5-1, but Piller was far from giving in. At 10:09, Piller

Red Wing celebrates a hat trick

and Drew Anderson exchanged a little back and forth action in front of the net before Piller fired a shot from his knee to complete the play.

Only 42 seconds later, Carson Scheschuk brought up the puck into the opposing end, and made a connection with Piller who found Dawson McKenzie across the ice. With a man quickly approaching on him, McKenzie sauced the puck to the wide-open Piller who directed it into

the netting and claimed a hat trick.

It was 5-3 heading into the third and the Red Wings were hopeful to decrease that two-goal gap. Instead, however, the goal gap grew with a Bombers power play goal and a questionable empty netter nearing the end of the game. Thus ended the first game of the series with a 7-3 victory for the Bombers.

On Sunday night, the two teams met up in Flin Flon for game two. Just like the game before, the first period was not kind to the Wings as they trailed 2-0. Thankfully for the Red Wings, they were able to catch a break in the second when the Bombers were handed a two-minute interference penalty. A minute into the power play, McKenzie scored an unassisted goal against his former team. This was McKenzie’s fifth goal as a Red Wing and 14th of the season.

Later on, the Wings were thrown into some hot water with overlapping penalties against them. After fending off the Bombers five-on-three for a while, the Wings gained back a fourth man which was just enough for Connor Pyne to break away and score a shorthanded goal.

seasons and has 24 goals as a Red Wing.

Soar’s Junior A career has lasted for five years and over the course of his time he has accumulated 85 points. Petrie was a part of the AJHL for three years before playing for the Nipawin Hawks. He was moved to Weyburn during the middle of last year’s season and has played 140 Junior A games in total.

Johnstone played in the SJHL for a season and a half before moving to the SIJHL. He returned to the SJHL for his final year and has played in 158 Junior A games. Gladu jumped around from the AJHL, SJHL and the QMJHL a few times over the course of four years and has gathered 19 points. Brown played Junior A for four years and remained with the Red Wings throughout his entire career. Taking on the Captain’s role late this year, he has dressed for the Wings 220 times and has contributed 50 goals.

The annual Red Wings award banquet will be held Thursday, March 14 at Knox Hall. Cocktails begin at 6 p.m., followed by supper at 7 p.m., and award presentation at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 and available at the Red Wings office.

Now 2-2 heading in the third, a lot was on the line for both teams. The Bombers broke the tie early on, but it wasn’t until the fourth Bombers goal that things noticeably fell apart.

The fourth goal was controversial with it first being called off, but then after a discussion between the refs, the goal was allowed.

This understandingly dampened the spirits of the Wings and before the final buzzer went, the Bombers put two more up on the scoreboard making it 6-2.

Cody Levesque was the third star of the game and played an outstanding game, considering the circumstances, saving 58 out of the 64 shots taken at him.

This is compared to Bombers goalie Gabriel Waked, who only saw 26 shots, 24 of which he saved.

For Anderson, Sean Olson, Eric Soar, Tristan Petrie, Burke Johnstone, Zac Gladu and Weyburn product Ty Brown, the end of the season also marks the end of their SJHL careers.

Anderson played in the MJHL for almost two and a half years before he became a Red Wing and throughout his Junior A career he put up 26 goals.

The series had begun with a 4-2 loss to Bienfait on Feb. 26, and followed with a 6-2 win on home ice, and a 6-5 overtime win, also

in Yellow Grass, on Thursday. The Wheat Kings lost 5-3 in Bienfait on Saturday night to set up the deciding game on Monday.

Carnduff won their series over Redvers three games to one, winning 4-1 on Feb. 24, losing 4-2 on Feb. 26 and then winning 6-3 on Wednesday, and 4-3 on Thursday.

As of Tuesday, the championship series dates and times had not been set

Barry was born at St Joseph’s Hospital in Estevan, SK on November 22nd, 1949. He was the first of four sons born to Lavern and Betty Larsen of Oungre, SK. Barry grew up on the farm east of Oungre, where he graduated in 1967. Afterward, he worked as an operator in the oilfield at Zama City, AB, followed by Commercial Printers in Regina. After that, he returned home and farmed with his dad for 34 years. During that time, he also drove a school bus, on which his children all rode throughout their school years.

On January 15th, 1983, he married Jo Ann Shauf, and on January 6th, 1984, they welcomed their first child, Mark. They built a house in 1986 on Lavern and Betty’s home quarter.

In Memoriam

August 29, 1930 - January 24, 2019 Charlie was born on the family farm in Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan. He was the youngest son of Irma and Leon Van De Bon and baby brother to Daniel, Henry, and Mary.

He graduated as a psychiatric nurse at the Weyburn Mental Hospital in 1956 and spent the majority of his career with the Correctional Service of Canada, working extensively in the fields of drug and alcohol addiction and sex offender therapy. One of the highlights of his professional career was doing post-graduate training in England and being invited to tea with the Queen in recognition of the work he did there. After his retirement in 1992, he split his time between his homes in Abbotsford and Yellow Grass for many years until Saskatchewan's cold winters finally convinced him to stay permanently in Abbotsford.

Charlie was the consummate handy-man who loved travelling, playing bridge with the New Horizons Friendship House Society, taking long road trips, watching the Dukes of Hazzard, and having strawberry jam with his roast turkey.

Charlie will be lovingly remembered by his two daughters, four grandchildren, and as "Uncle Charlie" by his many nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, and great-great nieces and nephews.

Please join the family at a celebration of Charlie's life on Monday, March 18th at 2 pm at Henderson's Funeral Home, 34537 Marshall Rd, Abbotsford, BC.

Gordon “Yorgi” Leonard Georgeson

1933 ~ 2019 Georgeson, Gordon “Yorgi” Leonard passed away peacefully on March 5, 2019 at the age of 85 years. Gordon was predeceased by his parents, Peter and Frances Georgeson, his siblings.

Ted (Gladys) Georgeson, Velda Roberts, Walter Georgeson, Dale (Marj) Georgeson, Dennis Georgeson; brotherin-law Laurie Noren and mother-in-law and father-in-law, Edith and Sidney Oxford. Gordon was born June 1, 1933, the 4th of 8 children born to Peter and Frances. He grew up in Avonlea, Saskatchewan and remained there until he started working with the Wheat Pool.

Gordon began his construction job with the Wheat Pool in 1952 and built 36 elevators throughout the province. On June 2, 1956, Gordon married Weneen Oxford. His career took him and his family to many places all over Saskatchewan. In 1962 Gordon settled the family in Turtleford, Saskatchewan and it was home until 1978. Gordon and his family moved to Weyburn in 1978 as District Repair Superintendent with the Wheat Pool, where he eventually retired at the age of 58 in 1990 and remained there until his passing. Gordon had many passions in life, watching the Weyburn Red Wings play hockey and enjoying coffee and company at A & W in the mornings and McDonalds in the afternoon are only a few. Gordon made his rounds every day to various businesses in Weyburn after his retirement and everyone was familiar with the little green truck with “Yorgi” plates.

Gordon and Weneen were also active members of the All Saints Anglican Church during their life in Weyburn. Gordon spent the last 50 summers at his beloved cabin that he built himself from scratch at Kopp’s Kove at Turtle Lake. He enjoyed boating, pulling water skiers, patrolling the beach in his golf cart and coffee at the South Bay Convenience Store.

Rural municipalities gather for annual SARM convention

Delegates from RMs gathered in Saskatoon for a three-day convention for the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) that got underway on Tuesday, and will wrap up on Thursday, March 14, with speakers, information sessions and the debating of 24 resolutions.

SARM president Ray Orb and Lieutenant Governor Tom Molloy opened the convention on Tuesday morning with each giving addresses, and Molloy presented the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Outstanding Service to Rural Saskatchewan.

The opening day also had addresses by Warren Kaeding, provincial minister of Government Relations, and Bernadette Jordan, the federal minister of Rural Economic Development.

There were two dialogue sessions held with cabinet ministers, including Environment minister and Weyburn-Big Muddy MLA Dustin Duncan, Ag minister David Marit, minister Kaeding, Highways minister Lori Carr, and Corrections and Policing minister Christine Tell, and debate on the 24 submitted resolutions.

Premier Scott Moe is addressing the convention today, March 13, just prior to the bearpit sessions with members of the provincial cabinet.

There will be several presentations throughout the day today, including an address from Ralph Goodale, the federal minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, information on Chronic Wasting Disease and solid waste, scholarships and a service award from the Canadian Centre for Health and Safety in Agriculture, a keynote address

by Darby Allen, and a presentation by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM).

The last day of the convention will include an information session on intensive livestock operations, clubroot, the STARS Air Ambulance, an address by Jim Carr, the federal minister of International Trade Diversification, and SARM division meetings.

Among the resolutions debated were motions made about environmental reviews on construction projects, a resolution on the “survival of rural Saskatchewan” about the cost of implementing the new regulations for environmental protection, and the use of marked fuel in municipal equipment.

There are also resolutions on the retention of health care staff in rural areas, and one on the training requirement for drivers with 1A licenses, with reference to the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.

Meeting a furry feline friend at the Cat Cafe

Focus on intersections by police services Members of the Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan (CTSS) were in the Weyburn area on Friday evening for a project focussing on intersection enforcement. This included members from Weyburn Police Service along with Estevan, Weyburn and Carlyle RCMP, all part of the CTSS. Members were targeting drivers at several controlled intersections around the city looking

for persons not wearing seatbelts, holding cell phones in their hands and anyone who either rolled through stop signs or failed to come to a complete stop when turning right at a red light or stop sign.

Nine drivers were stopped and issued either a ticket or warning for disobeying a stop sign or red light. There were also tickets issued for driving with no registration, fail-

ing to move right for an emergency vehicle, tinted headlights and or tail lights as well as a threeday driving suspension.

Slowing down is not enough. If a driver was thinking “No Cop, No Stop”, they quite likely will find themselves on the receiving end of a $230 fine and demerit points on their license. The largest number of motor vehicle and pedestrian collisions occur at intersections. A solid or flashing red light means stop. A green light does not simply mean go, rather it means, “proceed when safe to do so.”

There were two drug recognition experts working, who can conduct field sobriety testing for both alcohol and drugs by directing an individual to perform a number of psycho-motor tests and measure involuntary responses to certain visual stimuli.

There were two breath demands made to drivers to

provide samples into an alcohol screening device.

Both drivers passed and were allowed to carry on.

Although it was not called into use, it was also an opportunity for one of the traffic members who has been trained to operate and was carrying the new “DRAEGER 5000” oral swab drug recognition equipment.

This is an approved device under the Criminal Code for detecting impairment by drug. Under the new cannabis laws, if charged for operating a motor vehicle with a THC level from 2 nanograms but less than 5 nanograms per ml of blood, this is a straight summary offence.

If charged for operating a motor vehicle with a THC level of 5 nanograms per ml of blood or more, this will be a hybrid offence. It is a criminal offence to refuse the demand made by a peace officer to provide a sample.

the Music Festival and a member of Calvary Baptist Church where she served as organist and choir director for over 60 years. She is remembered by many not only for her passion for music but also her involvement in the community.

Funding announced for highway projects Investing in modern transportation infrastructure is critical to connecting communities, helping businesses move their goods to customer markets, and building a strong economy for all Canadians.

Bernadette Jordan, Minister of Rural Economic Development and Crown Investments Minister, and Prince Albert Carlton MLA Joe Hargrave, on behalf of Highways and Infrastructure Minister Lori Carr, announced funding for major highway improvements in Saskatchewan on Monday.

Approximately 259 kilometres of highway will be improved through this project, which includes work along 15 different stretches of highways that include Highways 33 and 39 in the southeast. Once complete, these vital upgrades will

help keep Saskatchewan drivers safe, improve traffic flow and boost trade to support the economy.

The Government of Canada is providing $40.2 million through the New Building Canada Fund and the Government of Saskatchewan is contributing $41.5 million. “With investments like these, our government is creating safer, and more fluid travel for people who travel on Saskatchewan’s highway network,” said Jordan.

Through the Investing in Canada infrastructure plan, the Government of Canada is investing more than $180 billion over 12 years in public transit projects, green infrastructure, social infrastructure, trade and transportation routes, and Canada’s rural and northern communities.

Students at Queen Elizabeth School follow their leaders, dressed in black, from the SQx Interactive Dance Company, in a group dance performance on Friday in the school gym for their parents. Each grade had a leader who they learned basic dance moves from during the week, and the performance on Friday was the culmination of the week-long training.

RCMP to use Sask. Crime Watch network Saskatchewan residents in southern Saskatchewan have a new way to get information about criminal activity in their area directly from the RCMP. RC MP d et ac hm e nt commanders will use the Saskatchewan Crime Watch Advisory Network to send text messages, emails or phone calls to residents. People can sign up and choose how they would like to get these advisories.

The Government of Saskatchewan is providing approximately $50,000 for the RCMP to initially launch this system in

southern Saskatchewan.

The RCMP will evaluate the effectiveness of the program and the possibility of using it across Saskatchewan.

“We know that people across our province want information to help keep their family and home safe,” Corrections and Policing Minister Christine Tell said. “The Saskatchewan Crime Watch Advisory Network allows people to get reliable information right from the RCMP.” “When an RCMP detachment becomes aware of an incident or crime, they can issue an advisory

via the system and local residents who have signed up for the program will become aware of what happened,” Saskatchewan RCMP Commanding Officer Assistant Commissioner Mark Fisher said.

“Equipped with this information, citizens will be in a better position to provide tips and information to their local RCMP.” “We want rural residents to feel safe in our communities,” Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities President Ray Orb said. “With the reinvigoration of Rural Crime Watch Associations in the province and the addition of the Provincial

Protection and Response Team, this mass notification system adds to the basket of tools and peace of mind for our members.”

STARS helped local man get treatment

Fundraiser set for STARS helicopter landing pad

By Greg Nikkel A local family is thankful for the timely assistance of the STARS Air Ambulance service, and is sharing their story to help encourage residents to support a fundraiser event for STARS. A n E ve n i n g w i t h STARS fundraiser will be held on Tuesday, April 9, starting at 5:30 p.m. at McKenna Hall in Weyburn.

The affair will host special guests from the STARS Trauma team, headed by CEO and President Andrea Robertson.

There will be time during the evening to meet the STARS trauma team members and ask questions, along with opportunities to bid on special silent auction items. The goal for this fundraising event is to raise enough funds to build a helicopter emergency landing pad for the STARS helicopter, for the future new hospital to serve Weyburn and area.

This special fundraising dinner and social evening will also include representatives from local service providers, including the Weyburn Police Department, Weyburn Fire Brigade, Weyburn Emergency Medical Services, Weyburn General Hospital staff members and the Weyburn RCMP detachment, who are stepping up to assist with table service and showcase some of their nonemergency talents.

The STARS Air Ambulance makes use of a plane as well as the helicopters that residents may have seen on occasion, and the

service has helped out many local families in times of medical emergencies.

A local resident who received help from STARS was Darwin Stainbrook, whose wife, Carmen Vilness-Stainbrook, related the story of how STARS provided the necessary assistance to save his life.

In October of 2017, Darwin was at the Wholesale Club buying some groceries, and when he was at the till to pay for them, the cashier could see he was in some distress and called 911.

“The cashier could tell something was wrong, and he kept wanting to leave,” said Carmen, who expressed thankfulness that she was able to keep Darwin there until an ambulance arrived.

When the ambulance came, the EMTs were able to determine he had signs of a severe stroke, and he was taken to Estevan where doctors were able to give him a CT scan. Due to the location of the clot and Darwin’s condition, doctors recommended that he be taken to Saskatoon where the proper equipment was available to treat him.

“He was alone at the store when this happened, but people who helped him knew who he was, and they contacted me and his son Derek. We drove to Estevan where he had been taken,” said Carmen, noting that as Saskatoon was highly recommended for treatment, STARS had to be called to transport him.

Due to the distance

from Estevan, STARS brought a plane in rather than a helicopter, and with a nurse and paramedic, she was able to fly along with Darwin up to Saskatoon, while Derek drove up as soon as he was able to come.

Carmen was told that the STARS flight had to be made without the need for refueling, so the plane was needed rather than the helicopter. “I wasn’t aware the air ambulance and STARS are both under the same umbrella,” said Carmen, noting that due to the funding provided to STARS, the cost was the same as for a helicopter, and it’s kept low compared to the cost of a ground ambulance.

She was impressed with the quickness of the service too, noting that his stroke occurred around 2:30 or 3 p.m. at the Wholesale Club, and before midnight he was being treated for his clot at the Saskatoon hospital.

As the stroke happened on the left side of his body, the right side was affected by the stroke, including his mobility at first. If Darwin hadn’t been treated in such a timely fashion, he would have had a lot more complications, said Carmen, noting that Darwin has had a long, slow recovery, but he has made definite progress.

One of the signs of his progress was just this week, he took an assessment for his driver’s licence, and he will be receiving his licence back soon, said Carmen.

Darwin was treated in

Darwin Stainbrook and Carmen Vilness-STainbrook Saskatoon for about five days, then he was taken to Regina, where he was treated at the General Hospital for a couple of weeks, and was at the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre for about a month.

Carmen said she was very impressed with the service provided by STARS. “They were very professional,” she said, noting the plane had a pilot and co-pilot, a nurse and a paramedic, and there was enough room for her to go with them, which would not have been the case with a helicopter.

“The paramedic always let me know what was happening, and I was very comfortable with how everything was going,” said Carmen. “I just think it’s an excellent service, and buying tickets for the
