Weyburn council approves Creeks personal care home By Greg Nikkel Weyburn council passed a notice of motion on Monday night to reconsider the application for a personal care home in The Creeks for the Weyburn Group Homes Society, and unanimously approved it with conditions. The notice of motion was to reverse the previous decision made by council on March 11 to deny the application for the personal care home. That decision brought a firestorm of controversy to the city, including a protest held at the entrance to The Creeks on March 13, attended by about 60 people.
Coun. Dick Michel introduced the notice of motion to reconsider that application, and council passed it unanimously without any discussion or comments. Coun. Mel Van Betuw had excused himself as he declared a conflict of interest, and Coun. Brad Wheeler was not present at the council meeting. Coun. Wheeler made some comments at the March 11 meeting, speaking on behalf of the residents of The Creeks, and he subsequently issued an apology for those comments. “After more information was brought forward,
council reconsidered the original motion because we felt we could make a better informed decision. The requirements of the application met all the criteria of our zoning bylaw so council moved forward to correct the situation,” said Mayor Marcel Roy in a statement. The personal care home will be owned by the Saskatchewan Housing Authority, and the list of six conditions includes that there will be no more than four occupants at the care home, off-street parking will be provided for the staff and visitors, and the owner and developer will
ensure that architectural controls will be followed and will be consistent with the existing homes of the neighbourhood. The personal care home will be in compliance with provincial regulations, it will be maintained in a neat and tidy order, and site landscaping will be according to neighbourhood standards. In the council information on this application, Amanda Kaufmann, planning and development coordinator for the City, noted she asked police chief Marlo Pritchard about any concerns for safety, and was assured there are no
concerns for safety, as with other group home locations “there is no observable increase in safety issues.” Following the council meeting, Doug Rogers of Weyterra Developments and Terra Developments said he is happy that the council approved this application, noting he was in support of it from the start. He had attended a meeting on March 18 at City Hall along with Saskatchewan Housing and the Weyburn Group Homes Society about this issue, and he said they were hopeful this issue would be resolved in a positive way. Rogers noted that in
a subdivision they own in Regina, Saskatchewan Housing owns some personal care homes there for which they bring in an architect to ensure that the homes fit the architectural standards of the neighbourhood, and they will do the same in this case. In a letter to council, Rogers said on behalf of Terra Developments, “The Creeks is a perfect location for the proposed personal care home. We support the discretionary use application for a personal care home in front of you for consideration, and we look forward to a positive outcome.”
Budget provides $2.5M for planning for new hospital By Greg Nikkel There were some positive aspects to the provincial budget brought down on March 20, and for Weyburn the best feature was money for planning for Weyburn’s new hospital. “This is really good news for Weyburn,” said Wey bu r n - B i g M u d d y MLA Dustin Duncan of the allocation of about $2.5 million towards planning of the new hospital. “The hospital project is taking the next step. I think we’re going to see a lot of momentum this year as we get the hospital project to where we can get it built,” he said, noting this includes money for the decision-making process, with this step to include making a decision on its
location. The initial money allocated for the Weyburn hospital, $500,000, was in the budget in 2015 and was used for the initial planning, such as studying to see what the Weyburn area’s long-term needs are and how many beds should be in the new facility. “This money will be going towards the work that Colliers was hired to do, such as the actual design of the facility and making the decision on the location of the hospital,” said Duncan. “The fact that this announcement didn’t include money for construction shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, because there wasn’t anything to design yet.” Continued on Page 3

A large gallery of spectators filled the chairs in city council chambers on Monday evening, as it was expected the issue of the application for a personal care home in The Creeks would come up again. The initial application for a care home for the Weyburn Group Homes Society was denied at the meeting on March 11, and on Monday, the personal care home was approved unanimously, without any comments or discussion.

Convoy to Regina, rally organized against the carbon tax By Greg Nikkel R e p r e s e n t a t ive s o f the agricultural and oil industries in southeast Saskatchewan are joining forces to organize a convoy that will travel up Highway 39 and 6 to Regina on Thursday, April 4, to meet for a rally against the federal carbon tax. Some of the details of the convoy and the rally are still being finalized, such as the timing and exact routing of the convoy, as the organizers have been meeting with the RCMP and police forces in Estevan, Weyburn and Regina to ensure the event will be safe and will not jeopardize anyone or hinder traffic. Organizers have pinpointed four points the rally will be focusing on, including the carbon tax, the lack of pipelines, and opposition to Bill C-69 and Bill C-48, both federal bills
that will greatly hurt the oil industry. Blair Stewart, owner of Stewart Southern Railway and Fill-More Seeds, both headquartered in Fillmore, pointed out that the carbon tax will impact everyone, no matter what walk of life they have, and pointed out that Bill C-48 is designed to keep oil tankers away from the West Coast, while the government and protesters say nothing whatsoever about foreign oil coming in on the East Coast. “We live in a landlocked province and have to ship our oil, yet they have banned the export of oil to the West Coast, yet they can come in on the East Coast. We all know what the problem is,” said Stewart. “Do you ever see people protest oil coming in on the East Coast?” He was a guest with radio host John Gormley on
the rally, where he pointed out the rally is also in support of Premier Scott Moe and the province’s fight against the carbon tax. Stewart pointed out that because the carbon tax will be applied to transportation costs, everything that has ever been trucked or shipped by rail will be impacted by the carbon tax, and that affects every person no matter what job they have or where they live. Marcel Van Staveren, a farmer in the Creelman area, noted in regard to the carbon tax that “we are not the problem”, pointing out that research shows that farmers have been sequestering more and more carbon dioxide in the soil rather than emitting the greenhouse gas. “We have a thin profit margin business,” he said, noting that estimates put the cost of the carbon tax 19035PM0 19035PM1

The media committee for the organizers of the Regina Rally Against the Carbon Tax gathered in the yard at Jerry Mainil Ltd. on Thursday, showing a line of idle heavy equipment behind them. From left are Blair Stewart of Stewart Southern Railway in Fillmore, Josh Mainil of Jerry Mainil Ltd., Jason LeBlanc of Estevan, and Marcel Van Staveren of the Creelman area. on farmers around $6 to $8 an acre for grain farmers in the first year. “And nobody knows where it’s going,” added farmer Jason LeBlanc from Estevan, who is also helping to organize the rally. He pointed out that for every 100 tonnes of carbon dioxide they put into the atmosphere, they take out 150 tonnes, as it goes into the ground, into the hay and water and other aspects of a farm operation. “We can do better, and we are. We have reversed the loss of soil organic matter and we’re starting to rebuild, to get better,” said Van Staveren. The producers pointed out also that a carbon tax has been tried in other countries and failed, such as in Australia. As for the oil industry, Josh Mainil pointed out that Canada has the highest environmental standards of any country and stringent workplace safety regulations, which begs the question why
Canada is accessing oil from countries like Saudi Arabia that have far lower environmental standards. Meantime, the federal government is ignoring other good things contributed by Saskatchewan, such as a world-class carbon capture and storage project in Estevan, and due to federal regulations, will be shutting down as it’s connected to the coal-fired power generation plant. The organizers are lining up around five to seven major speakers who will address the rally in Regina, which will be held indoors on the exhibition grounds. The organizers are asking that supporters of the Yellow Vests not attend the rally, as this rally is not associated with those supporters in any way. “If you have a yellow vest, we ask that you leave them at home,” said Stewart, who noted that Yellow Vest protesters stand for a much wider range of issues

than the rally group does, and those issues are not a part of this protest. The group is hoping for hundreds of trucks to join the convoy, and are hoping to be joined by contingents from the Swift Current and Yorkton areas once they reach Regina. “This could be huge. It’s a completely made-in-Saskatchewan rally,” said Stewart. The organizers have set up a web page and social media accounts, and are encouraging supporters to submit videos to their Facebook page or to twitter, @againsttax, and for those who will be joining the convoy into Regina, they would like people to register so they can in turn inform the police agencies of what kind of traffic to expect. To register for the convoy, phone 306-634-9955, or call or text to 306-4219847. Also people can visit the website to register, at www.reginarallyagainstthecarbontax.ca.

Council approves bids for projects Council approved tender bids for three different infrastructure projects to be completed in Weyburn this year at their meeting on Monday night. Approval was given for the city’s director of engineering to negotiate a contract with JW Landscaping of Weyburn for the construction of a new entrance to River Park. The city asked for a request for proposal, and received six bids on the project, with a budget of $250,000 for this construc-
tion. JW Landscaping came in with the lowest bid at $219,729, with Driftwood Irrigation and Landscaping of Weyburn the second lowest at $228,000. Council authorized the engineer to negotiate a contract with JW Landscaping, but if that is not successful, he can then go on to negotiate with Driftwood for the project. • Council approved a bid for a company to replace the existing curb, gutter and walkway, with an accessible wheelchair ramp, at 10 locations in six intersections
in Weyburn. The successful bid went to A&B Concrete of Weyburn, which bid $19,980 for the project. The project will be to provide accessible ramps on Coteau Avenue at Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, 10th and 14th Streets. • Council also approved bids for infrastructure improvement work for some water and waste water projects, including replacing hydrants in five locations, replacing street valves in five locations, replacing sewer service con-
nections in five locations, and manhole refurbishment in 10 locations. A&B Concrete of Weyburn was awarded the hydrant replacement project with a bid of $16,960; Jordan Excavating of Regina was awarded the street valve replacement at a bid of $18,338; Culebra Sewer and Water Works of Saskatoon was awarded the replacement of sewer service connections at a bid of $30,093, and Topshot Concrete of Saskatoon won the bid for manhole refurbishment at a bid of $47,302.
Budget provides $2.5M for hospital planning Continued from Front He added that he’s “very confident” that this will move the project to the next step where the government will need to make a decision on construction of the new facility. Other good news for the Weyburn area is the continued construction of passing lanes on Highways 6 and 39 between Regina and North Portal, with some passing lanes built last year, said the MLA. For the City of Weyburn, Mayor Marcel Roy it was good there were no new taxes in this budget, and that the city will see an increase in revenue-sharing from the province. He was also happy that Weyburn will split a $5 million fund with Prince Albert for planning of their new hospital to come, and said, “It gives us a faint hope that money has been set aside for that.” Mayor Roy noted this announcement does not give any indication whether
Prince Albert or Weyburn’s hospital will be built first. He was critical that the accumulated debt for the province will continue to go up, but noted that in part this is due to the low oil prices and the decline in the oil and gas industry. The NDP was critical of the claims made by the Saskatchewan Party that it’s a balanced document, as leader Ryan Meili pointed out the province’s debt will be $26 billion by the year 2022, which works out to $22,000 for every person in the province. “There were some pretty big missing pieces,” said Meili, noting that funding for education won’t even bring it back to 2016 levels, not to mention there are cuts to post-secondary education. “It’s a pretty substantial failure, which is a recipe for a weak economy,” he said, adding the budget had nothing to offset the rising cost of living, including the continuation of the PST
on restaurant meals and on construction, which is hurting that industry. He said the opposition will continue to push for the removal of the PST in these areas, and for more support for students in Saskatchewan. MLA Duncan noted that there is an increase in funding for K-12 education, but said it had to be balanced off by the need for spending on facilities, including the new elementary school under construction in Weyburn. “We still have the highest per-capita K-12 funding in Canada, and this is the largest K-12 budget in the province’s history.” Finance minister Donna Harpauer tabled the budget on Wednesday afternoon in the Legislature, saying they provided the right balance by increasing support in critical areas like highway safety, the classroom and for mental health and vulnerable families. The budget has a pro-
jected surplus of $34.4 million, with revenues forecast to be $15.03 billion, up by 5.5 per cent from last year, and expenses are forecast to be $14.99 billion, up by 2.6 per cent from last year. Some of the highlights for spending include $5.89 billion for health care, an increase of 2.1 per cent, which includes an increase of $30 million for mental health and addictions initiatives; a total of $1.43 billion for social services, an increase of 3.7 per cent, including more money for support for adults with intellectual disabilities, and increased monthly payments for foster families who complete training; education will get $3.28 billion, up by $19 million from last year with no changes for education property taxes; and $251 million in municipal revenue-sharing, and combined with other grants and initiatives, this is a 6.2 per cent increase to municipalities.
City police respond to three-vehicle collision Weyburn police responded to a three-vehicle collision on Government Road at Souris Avenue on March 21. The investigation revealed that two southbound vehicles attempted to beat an amber light when a northbound vehicle attempted to turn left onto Souris Avenue, also facing an amber light. There were no injuries. Weyburn police were called to assist with a possible youth medical issue on
March 18. The youth was transported to the Weyburn General Hospital. City police received a call regarding an escalating domestic situation on March 19. Once at the residence, one of the subjects acknowledged needing help and was transported to the Weyburn General Hospital for further assessment. Police received a call regarding an intoxicated male staggering down the street on March 20. An adult male
was located and was arrested without incident for being intoxicated in a public place and was held in cells until sober. Weyburn police were dispatched to a local bar where a fight in progress was reported on March 20. Prior to the arrival of police, all of the people involved had resolved their issues and left. City police received a complaint of harassing telephone calls related to a past domestic relationship on
March 20. Both parties were spoken to and agreed to refrain from calling. City police responded to a call regarding a family domestic dispute on March 21. The police were able to mediate the matter without need for further action. Police received a call regarding a concern that a person may be thinking of harming himself on March 21.

Southeast College’s Greek Feast at the Knox Hall was a “smashing” success on March 9, raising over $8,000 for post-secondary students pursuing health care studies at the College. Over 100 people in attendance were treated to a delicious Greek meal and entertaining performances from Regina’s Daughters of Penelope dance group. The traditional smashing of plates was definitely the highlight of the night. “There are a few explanations behind the breaking of plates, but my favourite is that breaking plates would happen after you invite friends over for a meal and then smash your plates to symbolize your friendship above everything else,” explained coemcee Georgia Siourounis to the crowd. After a brief demonstration, plates were auctioned off and smashed with delight throughout the evening. The Greek Feast kicked off Southeast College’s new Health Studies Fund initiative, supporting students pursuing post-secondary training in health care-related programs at Southeast College. “The profits from tonight will go into the new
Health Studies Fund, which will be governed by folks from the community including Dave Harazny and Jody Holzmiller from Southeast College, as well as Weyburn’s George Siourounis,” explained coemcee Jeff Richards. Southeast College currently offers a Continuing Care Assistant Certificate program in multiple locations, including Weyburn, as well as a Practical Nursing Diploma program in Weyburn. In 2019-2020, the College plans to add a Primary Care Paramedic Certificate program in Redvers and a Health Information Management Diploma in Estevan. “This event is about local post-secondary education and supporting student success in health studies,” said Richards. “We are thrilled with the success of the Greek Feast and have received many positive comments about the event,” adding that “Southeast College is extremely thankful to all who generously sponsored, participated and contributed, and in particular to the Weyburn Travelodge and Brothers’ Classic Grill and Pizza for their partnership in making this a very enjoyable evening.”

“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.” — Matthew 6:1-2, 4 New Living Translation

E Good can come out of a bad situation
T
he voice of the public was heard loud and clear, and Weyburn’s city council was responsive, as they acted by reversing the motion that caused so much outrage — but does this change the thoughts and attitudes of the community and of council members? As the board of Inclusion Weyburn asks in a letter-tothe-editor below, “where do we go from here?” The fact this issue arose means there is a need for more thoughtful dialogue, and for more information about those who are in the care of the Weyburn Group Homes Society. In part, there was confusion about what was proposed for this lot in The Creeks because there wasn’t clear communication about the personal care home, but that’s on the city. They were following the normal procedures that are laid out for discretionary use applications; perhaps in this case, more information would have been useful. The saying goes that “hindsight is 20/20”, but this is also an opportunity to learn from a mistake. Not all discretionary-use applications are truly controversial. This case clearly was, as the response from some residents of The Creeks showed. While there were apologies tendered by council over how this application was handled, this does not mean that minds were changed and attitudes were adjusted. It is certainly to the credit of Weyburn city council that they acted, first with a public apology, then by holding a meeting with all of the parties involved to sort out the issues. This resulted in the reversal of the March 11th decision, allowing the personal care home to proceed with conditions, which were agreed to by both the city and the proponent of the development, Saskatchewan Housing Authority, which will be the property owner. The broader question that is left is, what about the attitudes of the community at large? Do people understand the special needs of the residents who are cared for under the Weyburn Group Homes Society? Do they know that these residents simply want to be accepted and loved like everyone else is, and allowed to live their lives? This is partly why the organization formerly known as Community Living changed its identity to “Inclusion”, because this what that group works towards, to ensure everyone is included and accepted for who they are. If this can happen, where people are accepted and included, then perhaps there can be a good result, a silver lining, from this situation. — Greg Nikkel

Developing our future artists My Nikkel’s Worth By Greg Nikkel Email: editor@weyburnreview.com
Taking in events like the Stars of the Festival, for a music lover, is enjoyable because of the performances that are a big part of the evening. It’s the same reasons why awards shows like the Grammy Awards or the American Music Awards are enjoyable, because you get to see artists perform live that you wouldn’t normally see. At Stars of the Festival, the beauty is you get to see up-and-coming musicians, and young people who are truly accomplished in their fields as singers and instrumentalists, particularly those who are moving on to the provincial level of competition. The names to pay attention to are the ones who came up repeatedly, some in all three of the categories of the Music Festival, piano, vocal and instrumental. I could bring up some of those names, but then I’d leave someone out and that wouldn’t be good (all of the scholarship and award winners are listed in this issue on Page 11) — but there are performers who stand out, as everyone who was at the Stars evening would remember. Coincidentally, recently the Weyburn Concert Series released their list of performers for their next season, and it might be interesting to note two performers are from Weyburn, and had been recipients of awards and scholarships from the Music Festival in years past. They have both gone on to their own music careers.
I speak of Tenille Arts, who is living and working in Nashville as a singer-songwriter, and is gaining more and more fans as she getting to be known in the country music world, and pianist Meagan Milatz. Meagan isn’t as well-known, perhaps, but her abilities as a classical pianist are astounding, and she and Tenille will both be bringing their talents home for us to enjoy at the Cugnet Centre in the coming season. As a bonus, Meagan will also be coming to Regina to perform with the Regina Symphony Orchestra on May 11, as a guest performer. She will be performing a piano concerto by a Regina composer, David McIntyre. When she comes to Weyburn, she will be joined by violinist Amy Hillis in November. As another bonus, Tenille is up for six awards from the Saskatchewan Country Music Association, so you may be sure we will be hearing a lot more from this young lady. Will there be future musical performers amongst those who accepted scholarships and awards on Thursday evening? Only time will tell — but in the meantime, we need to encourage and nurture the talents in our singers, pianists and instrumentalists as they grow and develop in their abilities. Even if they don’t become famous, it’s good for our youth to develop an appreciation of the arts in every way.
Letter to the Editor:
Where do we go from here? To the Editor: Inclusion Weyburn is a branch of Inclusion Saskatchewan and Inclusion Canada (CACL). We are committed to ensuring that individuals from Weyburn and area who have intellectual disabilities are valued, supported and included members of the community and have opportunities and choices in all aspects of life. Since our inception two years ago, Inclusion Weyburn has received an overwhelming amount of caring support from businesses, service clubs, schools and individuals in our city. However, it has become apparent that not everyone understands the importance of respect and inclusion for all. We were shocked and saddened by the recent response of Weyburn city council to a proposed group home in the Creeks. The comments and actions of several members of the city council have left many citizens angry and upset. Multitudes of responses have come from citizens of our city as well as from across the province, including our MLA Dustin Duncan and the provincial Inclusion Saskatchewan organization. Weyburn has been left in a place of shame, hurt and in need of healing.
Where do we go from here? How do we heal the hurt? One has to wonder if this issue had not come to light through the media creating the firestorm of responses from across the province, would our city council have thought twice about their decision? Although apologies have been made, how can we trust that attitudes have changed? Is there a willingness to commit to more inclusive thinking? It is now imperative that we demonstrate changed attitudes through actions and decision-making. Apologies are not enough. How can Weyburn demonstrate an improved attitude of inclusiveness to the citizens of our community and to the whole province? We need to move forwards, not backwards, in our mindset of inclusion and what it means for our community. Come on, Weyburn, we can do this! Our board continues to work hard to create a more inclusive community in the city of Weyburn. If you would like more information about our organization, please contact us. https://www.facebook.com/InclusionWeyburn/ Board of directors, Inclusion Weyburn

Province-wide firearms amnesty period to be March 25 to April 19 The Weyburn Police Service, along with all other municipal police services, the RCMP and conservation officers will again be participating in a province-wide firearms amnesty. This program will run from March 25 to April 19. The goal for the program is to remove unwanted firearms from circulation. Each year a number of unwanted firearms are stolen through break-and-enters. These firearms enter the
illegal firearms circulation and pose a threat to both law enforcement and the general public alike. “We are not asking people to surrender firearms they have a legitimate want and need for, but rather those firearms that have long since been used and are just collecting dust,” said deputy chief Rod Stafford. “Most often we experience this when firearms come into our possession through wills and estates.”
For the period of the amnesty, no enforcement action will be taken with respect to any firearm turned in. All firearms turned in will be destroyed. Residents are asked not to bring firearms to their local police/enforcement agency, but to contact their local police who will arrange to pick up these firearms. Weyburn residents can arrange for firearms pickup by calling the Weyburn Police Service at 306848-3250.

The fifth annual Duck Derby will be held by the City of Weyburn on a new date this year, on Sunday, June 16, in conjunction with the Opportunity Road Race in the morning and Trails Day in the afternoon. The duck derby is slated to begin at 1 p.m. with the ducks dropping in the Souris River south of Highway 39 at River Park. Tickets are widely available from City Hall, the Weyburn Police Department, Public Works, and the Leisure Department. The last Duck Derby, held in 2017, was a huge success, raising $4,045 as a donation to the Communithon. In the four years the Duck Derby has been held, the city employees have managed to donate just under $14,000. “We are thankful for all the community support, from businesses and residents, we receive at events such as this and are
hoping to get the community involved again, so we can beat the last donation,” said co-organizer Amanda Kaufmann. Tickets are $5 each, three for $10 or 10 for $30 for those who want to go in as a group. All the money from selling duck derby tickets is divided, with half going to the United Way, 25 per cent is paid out in cash prizes and the balance covers the event expenses. While the Weyburn and District United Way branch is closed, the local Communithon committee is working with United Way of Regina, as they previously provided assistance and support for the Weyburn branch. “All donations received locally will continue to be invested locally within the community, which is still a huge benefit to Weyburn and we need to continue to support this organization,” said Kaufmann.

Yellow Grass Wheat Kings win Big Six league title
Review Photo — April Zielke
For the first time in the team’s history, the Yellow Grass Wheat Kings are the Big 6 League Champions. On Thursday night, the Wheat Kings and the Carnduff Devils met in Yellow Grass for game three of the league championship series. The Wheat Kings swept the series with a final 5-4 victory.
Wheat Kings crowned Big Six league champions By April Zielke For the first time in their history, the Yellow Grass Wheat Kings have won the Big Six Hockey League championship. The team was given the title after sweeping the Carnduff Devils with a 5-4 home victory on Thursday night. Early in the first, Devon Cobbold deked out the goalie to backhand chip the puck into the netting. At 13:05, Mike Onstad was left all alone in front of the net to receive a pass from Cobbold from behind the net. With quick reflexes, Onstad was able to seal the deal. With less than two minutes left in the period, a battle for the puck in the Devils crease led to a loose rebounded puck that Troy Miller swiftly picked up to send between the pipes. The Devils came into the second period ready for a fight and got their first goal of the night, but just over a minute later, Thomas Carleton answered back with a shot fired from the point. The Devils scored another goal, but so did Tucker Neuberger with an unassisted goal. Before the end of the period though, the Devils made the score 5-3.

Review Photo — April Zielke
This was the moment before Yellow Grass Wheat Kings player Devon Cobbold backhanded the puck into the back of the net to score the first goal of the night. The Devils were able to cut the goal gap to one in the third, but that was the only goal for the period and the Wheat Kings took the title. Earlier, the Wheat Kings won the first game by a score of 6-4, and on March 19 they won 3-2 in double-overtime, with Neuberger getting the game-winning goal.

scorer for the Eagles with 23 points. “The game was close throughout and we were able to pull ahead late. I was happy with our consistent play and it resulted in a provincial final berth against Moose Jaw Central,” said coach Lars Guenther. “We were able to stay
competitive with Central in the first half, including an early lead, but ran out of gas by the middle of the fourth quarter. Central is very good, having defeated the top 5A teams this year and I knew it was an uphill battle, but the lads fought hard.” Moose Jaw Central
came out on top in the gold medal game by a score of 98-59. The Eagles’ Owen Hiltz was the top scorer for Weyburn with 19 points. “Gold would have been nice but there is no shame in a well-earned silver. I am very proud of the lads. They had a very successful year.”

Chamber, SE College applaud prov’l budget The reaction of the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce and Southeast College to the provincial budget were both positive, in spite of the college getting a two-per-cent reduction in their funding. The Weyburn Chamber of Commerce reviewed the details of the provincial budget released on March 20 and applauded the achievement of a balanced budget. “The Weyburn Chamber supports the goal of a balanced budget and so we commend the province for meeting that goal without dramatic tax increases,� commented Twila Walkeden, executive director of the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce. “In this time of economic turbulence, meeting this goal is a testament to the government’s persistence and hard work,� said Walkeden. The Weyburn Chamber was also very pleased to see the province allocate funds to the planning for a new hospital in Weyburn, which has been advocated by the Chamber for years. The budget allocated $5 million for plan-
ning for new facilities, to be split between Prince Albert and Weyburn. “This level of commitment is what our Chamber members and citizens have been waiting for,� said Larry Heggs, president of the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce. “It is an exciting step towards the long-term goal of having a new hospital built in our community.� In addition, the investment allocated to mental health and addiction services was significant. As Walkeden pointed out, “This is an area of great importance to local businesses and society in general.� Southeast College received its annual budget allocations from the province this week marked by a two-per-cent reduction in its operating grant from the government. Given the government’s goal of achieving a balanced budget, the College understands the difficult choices the government needed to make, said college president and CEO Dion McGrath. Southeast College will continue to build and maintain their budget with the finan-

New reservoir facility is nearly completed The City of Weyburn is in the final stages of the new reservoir expansion project for its Water Treatment Plant (WTP). This includes work on the new distribution system and finalizing upgrades to WTP 200 (electrical work and control system/chemical programming). When completed, the project will add 13 million litres of storage capacity to the existing seven million litres storage of water for the city. Five new distribution pumps will meet the peak demand during summer and winter. The new distribution system also includes a second barrier of disinfection, a UV system for de-activation of any pathogens and viruses in the water.
The total cost to date is around $13.6 million and is funded under the National and Regional Projects Fund. WTP 200 upgrades cost approximately $1 million and were partially funded under the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund, which is currently in Phase II of the project – construction. Further upgrades in 2019 include pavement, grass seeding, painting, additional security system installation and a security fence. Design for the First Avenue Reservoir is complete and the Request For Proposal (RFP) will be processed after completion of the new reservoir expansion project. Upgrades to the First Ave. Reservoir will cost approximately $1 million.

Fundraiser to help STARS Air Ambulance save lives A n E ve n i n g w i t h STARS will be held at McKenna Hall on Tuesday, April 9. The funds from the evening will go towards the costs of building a helicopter pad for STARS to land on by the new Weyburn hospital. The event will host special guests from STARS Trauma Team, headed by CEO and President Andrea Robertson. The fundraising dinner will also include representatives from the Weyburn Police Department, Weyburn Fire Brigade, Weyburn Emergency Medical Services, Weyburn General Hospital staff members and the RCMP detachment. STARS is there to deliver the very best critical care via STARS helicopters and their highly trained medical staff. Minutes can make the difference of life and death, and this was
certainly the case for Tribune-area resident Owen Ashworth. On August 27, 2013 Owen decided to do a stunt on his racing bike, one in which he had numerous times before. Normally Owen would have worn a helmet, but on this day he decided not to and when he miscalculated the jump of his stunt, he landed on his unprotected head. Local first responders, Weyburn EMS, STARS and the Weyburn Fire Department were immediately on their way. Due to the trauma, Owen’s brain swelled up and as a result his mouth clenched so tight that the first responders were not able to secure an airway. Owen went on to have seizures with the continued swelling as even the EMS was not able to secure an airway. About 30-40 minutes later, the STARS heli-
copter arrived and they told Owen’s father, Kelly, that he was definitely dying. His respirations per minute slowly took a dive and his body and head continued to swell. STARS was able to stabilize him and took him to the Regina General Hospital where the doctors told Kelly and Janice Ashworth that Owen had a 50/50 chance of surviving. Owen’s entire brain was affected, not just the frontal lobe, as his brain went back and forth in his head severing the connections. After 72 hours of being in induced coma, Owen was brought out and he started moving his arms and legs. This was the beginning of a long recovery process, but Janice says that now, “Owen is doing well, although there have been many challenges along the way for him
and us, we will be forever grateful for STARS, EMS and of course of first responders.” Janice decided she wanted to become a first responder two years prior to the accident, but after Owen’s accident she was more determined than ever to take the training, and three years ago she took the 40-hour course to do so. Owen and his family were able to meet one of the STARS pilots, the flight nurse and the flight EMT who assisted him during the accident. Janice said the flight nurse immediately starting crying when she saw Owen because due to confidentiality reasons, she had not heard of what happened to him after they dropped him off at the hospital. Janice encourages anyone who uses STARS to reach out and meet with the crew

Mayor, MP Kitchen pan federal budget There was very little in the budget for Saskatchewan in the federal budget, said Mayor Marcel Roy, while the area’s MP decried the budget as a “coverup budget”. The mayor noted there was nothing to help the oil industry, and said it’s “tragic” that they also have done nothing to help the two power plants in southern Saskatchewan that are destined to be shut down by 2030 by the Liberals rules. “That’s going to be a huge job loss,” he said, noting this will decimate Estevan’s economy as he predicted there will be a large exodus of those currently employed by SaskPower. In addition, the Liberals “made a terrible deal with the U.S.” with the replacement for the Free Trade Agreement, which will hurt other industries including the steel industry. The mayor also wondered how much good the skills training money will be for those in the oil industry here, and in regards to infrastructure, Weyburn benefitted from funding for the new reservoir which is nearing completion, but in this budget, most infrastructure funding is for bigger urban centres. Dr. Robert Kitchen, MP for Souris-Moose Mountain, said of the budget, “It’s clear that while the SNC-Lavalin scandal is still plaguing them, this budget’s sole purpose is to try and distract Canadians during an election year. Nothing in it can be taken seriously.” The MP said Trudeau is trying to bury the SNCLavalin corruption scandal under $41 billion of brand new Liberal spending. This spending, of course, will be paid back through higher taxes on Canadians if he is re-elected in October. This is one expensive cover-up. Some points from budget 2019 include skills training: “Justin Trudeau is trying to distract from his corruption scandal by throwing around billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money. The reality is that $250 a year for ‘skills training’ will do nothing to help our coal and power workers who will be impacted by the Liberal plan to shut down coal-fired
power by 2030.” On housing, Kitchen said that Trudeau has pushed the dream of homeownership further away by making it harder to save for a down payment. Life is more unaffordable for Canadians, including those who dream of owning their own home, as 80 per cent of middle-income Canadians are paying higher taxes. “For agriculture, the Liberals have failed yet again to provide any real, targeted support for our farmers and agricultural producers. Their carbon tax will only make life more expensive for farm families across Saskatchewan and all of Canada,” said the MP, adding things aren’t any better for seniors. “Trudeau has only made things worse for seniors who are worried about having enough money left over at the end of the month. He’s introduced a carbon tax that will increase the cost of gas, home heating and everyday essentials. Moreover, seniors have never been a priority for him. It took the Liberals three years to appoint a Minister responsible for seniors,” said Kitchen. He added that the Liberals have been promising a pharmacare plan for decades and have done nothing about it. “It was in their 1997 election platform and again in 2004. There is no reason to believe they will come through this time – especially given how desperate they are to change the channel from their corruption,” said Kitchen. Trudeau reconfirmed his implementation of the carbon tax but neglected to say what the cost of this escalating tax will be, should he get re-elected. Projections indicate that the amount could be over $300 per ton. “Despite trying to deflect and distract from the real issues, Canadians are still looking for clear answers on the SNC-Lavalin scandal,” said Kitchen. “On the very day that Justin Trudeau delivered his budget, the Liberal majority-held Justice Committee stopped their investigation into his corrupt practices. This is leading Canadians to have more questions than ever before.”
