Moe and Kenney

Two premiers will attend Sask. Oil Show Premier Scott Moe will welcome Alberta Premier Jason Kenney to the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show at the Weyburn Curling Club today, June 5.

Premier Moe will also be holding a cabinet meeting on Wednesday morning, and he will then be speaking at the Oil Show.

Premier Moe and Premier Kenney will participate in a joint panel discussion at the 2019 Saskatchewan Oil & Gas Recognition Awards Luncheon as part of the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show at the Weyburn Curling Club.

Premier Moe will also participate in the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Recognition Awards Ceremony, where the industry Hall of Fame and Legends awards will be presented.

Members of cabinet will also be touring around the

Oil Show grounds after the cabinet meeting. This will be the first time that a provincial cabinet meeting has been held in conjunction with the Oil Show.

There will also be two special guest speakers at this year’s Oil show, including researcher and blogger Vivian Krause on Wednesday following the noon awards luncheon, and commentator Rex Murphy will speak at the industry luncheon on Thursday, June 6, also at the Curling Rink.

Events started on Tuesday with the exhibitors golf tournament, and the meet-and-greet steak and lobster supper was held in the evening. An official chain-cutting ceremony was held on Wednesday morning to open the Oil Show, with Mayor Marcel Roy taking part.

Setting up for the OIl and Gas Show

A service rig from Aaron Well Servicing was set up in preparation for the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show, which began on Tuesday with the exhibitors golf tournament and a meet-and-greet steak and lobster supper.

Kailynn’s story focus of distracted driving campaign Kailynn Bursic-Panchuk was preoccupied with her cellphone when she drove into the path of a train; the resulting collision was catastrophic and left the Weyburn teenager in critical condition.

Kailynn’s tragic story is a part of SGI’s latest distracted driving awareness campaign that launched over the weekend, coinciding with the June Traffic Safety Spotlight on distracted driving.

When Kailynn called her mom, Sandra LaRose, to ask if she could go visit a friend after school, Sandra didn’t know it would be the last time she had a conversation with her daughter.

“I expected Kailynn home around 5:30 p.m.,” said Sandra. “When she wasn’t home when she said she would be, I started getting annoyed. I texted her ‘where the hell are you?’

I kept checking my phone and then I got a message to call this cell number I didn’t recognize.”

When Sandra called the number, an RCMP officer answered. She learned Kailynn had been in a crash and

was being airlifted to hospital. “I kept thinking it was probably a broken pelvis or leg. When we got to the hospital and the doctor told me Kailynn needed surgery to relieve the pressure on her brain, I was lost. This is supposed to happen in movies, not in real life.”

Kailynn remained in a coma. On Kailynn’s 17th birthday, doctors told Sandra that if Kailynn pulled through, she would have no quality of life. The family made the difficult decision to take Kailynn off life support, and Kailynn died the next day, on Aug. 22, 2018.

“When Kailynn died, I had the hardest time figuring out how my heart could be so full but broken at the same time. Kailynn was my baby. She was my mini me,” said Sandra. “There’s not a second that goes by that I’m not thinking about Kailynn.

I miss her smile and her laugh, her eyes. Now when I look at pictures of her, I look into her eyes and I can hear her laugh.”

Kailynn wanted to travel and planned to become a high school English teacher.

She was full of life, gener-

“Kailynn was smart.

That’s the kicker in all of this. She was a very smart kid. She just made a bad decision. She had everything going for her, and because of her phone, it’s gone,” said Sandra. “I won’t have a graduation, wedding, convocation, grandbabies, there’s so much that I’m missing, that we’re all mis-

sing. Kailynn’s dreams are crushed. My dreams are crushed.”

Despite the pain of losing her daughter, Sandra is determined that something good comes out of the loss.

“I can’t imagine living the rest of my life broken. In my new reality I can either mope around, or I can do something for Kailynn, with Kailynn,” said San-

dra. “That’s why I chose to get involved and speak out about distracted driving.”

SGI’s poignant campaign has a clear message: distracted driving kills – don’t miss out on life. The campaign features a 60-second video that shows a young woman dreaming of her life ahead and milestone moments.

Those dreams are followed by the nightmare of a headon collision caused by a distracted driver.

Kailynn’s photo is featured in the ad, as is Sandra’s voice, saying: “We all dream about our future.

It takes only a moment for those dreams to shatter. My daughter’s dreams are over.

She lost her life using her phone while driving.”

“I hope this provincewide campaign will help make the consequences of distracted driving more real to people,” said Minister Responsible for SGI Joe Hargrave. “I am grateful to Sandra for sharing her voice and her daughter’s tragic story, and hopeful it will encourage people to avoid all distractions while they drive, including their phones.

other story like Kailynn’s.”

The ad will run online, in cinemas and on television.

The campaign will also feature newspaper, radio and billboard advertising. Beginning in July, there will be shorter online videos focusing on common distracted driving behaviours.

Visit www.sgi.sk.ca/distracted-driving-kills to see the campaign.

For Sandra LaRose, the tragic, preventable death of her daughter has spurred her to speak out about the issue of distracted driving.

“Hopefully people will realize that phone call is not important, that notification is not important, that music is not important; it will wait,” said LaRose. “Life will still go on if you don’t take that call. It’s literally a split second – that’s all it takes. You have control over that object – put your phone away.”

Kailynn’s story was also instrumental in helping to encourage people to sign up as organ donors, as she was inspired by a player from the Humboldt Broncos whose wish was to donate his organs in the event of his death.

CFIB: carbon tax rebate will not help businesses The Carbon Action Incentive Fund announced by the federal government will do little to relieve small businesses of the financial burden imposed by the carbon tax, said the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

“We’re entering month three of the carbon tax and the government is just now announcing details of only one stream of the rebate program they promised to small businesses,” said CFIB president Dan Kelly.

“They are now in the position of having to spend even more money just to get a fraction of their carbon taxes back. This is simply too little, too late for small firms. Nothing short of a full rebate equal to the amount they will spend in carbon taxes would be satisfactory.”

Small firms contribute nearly 50 per cent of the

carbon tax revenues and most (80 per cent) report they will be able to pass a quarter or less of the new costs down to consumers.

also promised it will release details of a separate fund to cover up to 50 per cent of the cost of specified energyefficient equipment.

Businesses are now in the position of having to spend even more money just to get a fraction of their carbon taxes back.

– CFIB president Dan Kelly The government announced two rebate streams for SMEs: 1.SME project funding: The new fund will provide between $20,000 and $250,000 for larger energy-efficient projects, representing up to 25 per cent of the total cost of eligible projects. 2.Rebate program: The government

“Many small businesses want to take action on climate change, but the carbon tax is putting them further behind. In fact, 71 per cent have told us that the carbon tax makes it harder for them to make further investments to reduce their emissions,” added Marilyn Braun-Pollon,

CFIB’s Vice-President, Prairie and Agri-business.

“For the project funding program, small businesses must put up a minimum investment of $80,000 and go through a team of bureaucrats and additional red tape just to qualify. And there are still no details on the rebate program, which we anticipate could quickly run out of money leaving small firms with an even bigger bill to pay.”

CFIB has called on the federal government to abandon the carbon tax.

If the government insists on keeping the tax, it must provide small businesses with rebates equal to the amount they will pay.

“Small business owners are paying far more than their share. On environmental policy, small businesses appear to be an afterthought for this government,” said Braun-Pollon.

Farmers in southeast Saskatchewan are nearing the finish line with continued good conditions for seeding. Seeding is 94 per cent done in the southeast, with the Weyburn crop district and Radville-Lake Alma crop district both 100 per cent finished.

This is up from 71 per cent done the week before, and is well ahead of the five-year average of 86 per cent for this time of year.

At the provincial level, 92 per cent of the crops are planted, also ahead of the five-year average of 83 per cent for this time of year.

There was some scattered rainfall in the southeast, but many of the areas in the Weyburn region had no rainfall reported in the past week.

Topsoil moisture conditions have continued to deteriorate due to strong winds and warm temperatures, and many areas are in need of a significant rainfall.

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 39 per cent adequate, 52 per cent short and nine per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 18 per cent adequate, 62 per cent short and 20 per cent very short.

Rain will be needed

Carbon tax appeal is filed to Supreme Court Justice Minister and Attorney General Don Morgan announced on Friday that the Government of Saskatchewan has officially filed notice of appeal of the federal carbon tax with the Supreme Court of Canada.

The questions being asked of the Supreme Court of Canada are: 1. Is the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act unconstitutional in whole or in part?

2. In particular, does Parliament have jurisdiction to establish minimum national standards for price stringency for greenhouse gas emissions under the national concern branch of the peace, order and good govern-

soon to help crops germinate and emerge, and for pastures to grow.

Pasture conditions are rated as nine per cent good, 47 per cent fair, 35 per cent poor and nine per cent very poor.

Overall, crops are normal to behind in their development stage for this time of year. Emergence has been delayed in many areas by cool weather and dry field conditions.

In the southeast, seven per cent of fall cereals are ahead, 45 per cent is at normal development, and 48 per cent is behind. For spring cereals, only three per cent was ahead, 57 per cent is developing normally, and 40 per cent is behind.

Oilseed crops are 45 per cent in normal development, 53 per cent is behind and two per cent is ahead.

For pulse crops, four per cent is ahead, 57 per cent of the crops are developing at a normal rate, and 39 per cent is behind.

The majority of crop damage this past week was caused by a lack of moisture, frost and strong wind, with flea beetles causing damage in canola crops.

Some canola fields are being reseeded due to frost damage.

“Our government will continue to stand up for Saskatchewan people against what we believe is an unconstitutional tax on their families, communities and businesses,” said Morgan. “Saskatchewan’s Constitutional Law Branch filed a notice of appeal with the Supreme Court of Canada that will see our case against the carbon tax taken to the highest court of our nation.”

Local couple delivers baby at Weyburn Hospital

By Greg Nikkel A Weyburn couple gave birth to a baby girl at the Weyburn General Hospital recently, one of only a handful to have occurred since the maternity unit closed. Thomas Prince and his wife, Lincy George, had come to the hospital the evening of May 26.

“In the evening, I had a little bit of pain, so we went to the Weyburn General Hospital,” said Lincy, noting she had also been at the Regina General Hospital three days earlier when she experienced some pain.

“They checked me over, and they put me in an ambulance to go to Regina,” said Lincy.

The ambulance got about four kilometres f r o m Wey bu r n w h e n Lincy’s water broke, and the paramedics decided to turn the ambulance around and head back to the Weyburn hospital.

Lincy gave birth a short time later, just after midnight on May 27, to baby Thiya who weighed in about 5.1 pounds or 2.34 kg, a sister for Eva, who is six years old. The couple

on Highway 13, approximately eight miles west of Weyburn early on Sunday morning.

The semi was carrying butane, but there was no spill or leakage. Efforts to clean up the site of this incident began on Sunday morning, resulting in the closure of Highway 13 for a period of time.

OPINION

4 - The Review, Weyburn, Saskatchewan, June 5, 2019

Editorial Maternity services are needed here

A

complaint made often about Weyburn’s health care services is the lack of a maternity ward or obstetrical services for a city of this size, forcing women to make a long drive, sometimes in labour, to Regina, Moose Jaw or Estevan.

The maternity ward at the Weyburn General Hospital closed in June 2007, although the Sun Country Health Region at the time said there would be an effort made to get it open again.

This intention was stated many times in the years afterward, but now the health district is gone and in its stead the province’s health care is now under the Saskatchewan Health Authority — and now there is no longer any effort of any kind being made to reinstate obstetrical services here.

Just recently, another instance of why there should be a maternity ward available occurred when a local pregnant woman had to go the hospital with some pains, and since no obstetrical services were here, she was promptly put in an ambulance and was sent off to Regina.

They only got a little ways out of the city when her water broke, and the ambulance turned around and brought her back to the Weyburn hospital, where she delivered a baby girl a short time later.

For their part, the Sask. Health Authority said women will only give birth here if the birth is imminent. Since the maternity ward closed, 23 babies have been born at the Weyburn hospital — and that’s just those whose birth was “imminent”, meaning they could not make the trip to one of these other centres in time.

What is concerning is that when the SHA was asked if or when a maternity ward might be re-established, with plans for a new hospital to be built here, the reply was, “At this point in time, there are no plans to reinstate obstetrical services, now or in the future.”

This is unacceptable for a community the size of Weyburn’s, a hub of economic activity for both agriculture and oil in the southeast. Yes, the fact that 23 babies were born between 2007 and 2019 doesn’t sound like much, but these are just the babies that absolutely could not wait for the unreasonably long drive to another centre. And what about the couples who have literally had to deliver their babies by the side of the highway, which are not counted in that 23?

For the health and safety of families in the Weyburn region, obstetrical services need to be re-established at the Weyburn General Hospital, particularly when a new acutecare hospital is built here. — Greg Nikkel

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

The Oil Show is back!

My Nikkel’s Worth

By Greg Nikkel Email: editor@weyburnreview.com For anyone who hasn’t noticed, such as those living in a cave or outside of Weyburn, and haven’t seen what’s filling up the fair grounds, the 18th biennial edition of the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show is here.

For some people, they will shrug and go, “Yeah, so?”

If they don’t work in the oil industry, or know anyone who does, then that might be a fair reaction, as there is a lot of technical equipment and terminology that non-oil people might not know or care about.

But still, it’s informative to take a look through the trade show, and the outdoor exhibits filling the fair grounds, and most especially to hear some of the speakers.

The speakers this year will touch on topics that are of interest (or should be) to most people, because they aren’t about the technical jargon of drilling an oil well, but about the issues that directly impact on every person and every taxpayer in Saskatchewan and in Canada.

Of particular interest will be the panel discussion with the Premier of Saskatchewan and the Premier of Alberta, and you may be sure they will discuss some very important topics, like the federally-imposed carbon tax for one, and the lack of pipelines for another.

This doesn’t just impact on oil companies, this in fact has an impact on the local economy, this prov-

ince’s economy and the economy of the entire country.

You wouldn’t know that from the total lack of interest and/or action by the federal government, but this does in fact make a difference to everyone and the dollars we pay in taxes, and in the services we take for granted, like health care, education, social services, etc.

The two keynote speakers coming in will also be worth hearing, and as a citizen you can come hear them free of charge.

All you need to do is register your name at Crescent Point Place before heading in to the fair grounds to the Curling Rink, and you can hear Rex Murphy of CBC and National Post fame, and researcher Vivian Krause.

Weyburn’s local economy always benefits from having this high-calibre biennial show come to our city, and it puts us on the proverbial map, particularly when we have two western premiers here having a vital discussion on topics of vital importance for all residents of these two provinces (who are, by the way, the top two oil-producing provinces in Canada).

Even though I do not work in the oilpatch, I still find it interesting to see what advances there are in technology, and to meet some of the people who do work in the industry to find out what challenges they have, and what they enjoy about their work.

Is celebrity culture harmful to society?

By Breanne Woloshyn, Grade 9

Do you think celebrity culture has became a harmful impact to our society today? I understand that people are definitely obsessed with finding out who cheated on who, especially in the Kardashian family. There is also those type of people who walk the world not caring about any celebrity drama and controversy.

Fame is not a bad thing; it has always been and will always will be a part of our human nature. We always look upon a leader to guide us through life so we can be successful. Sometimes that person just happens to be a celebrity figure. Does that mean we should listen to every action that they suggest we do?

In recent years, celebrity culture has changed beyond all recognition. First we need to comprehend the role celebrities play in our lives and they will not disappear anytime soon. We need to get used to having celebrities around. There has been research that proves that when we listen to a charismatic speaker a part of our frontal lobe shuts down. That means that we turn off our critical thinking when the presence of our glorious celebrity figures are in mind. People are finally starting to believe that the influence celebrities have on young people, like myself, have taken a turn for the worse. There has been a spike in anxiety, eating disorders, and unhappiness. Are celebrities to blame here?

Young people are too busy spending their time chasing likes on their Instagram so they can be seen as popular. Popularity is associated with fame which can lead to success to the viewers eyes. The loss of identity, self worth, and even suicide are results of celebrity pressure. Youth are beginning to try to match the perfect images they see online from social media’s of celebrities

to themselves. Not enough people truly understand the dangerous risks from what these “perfect” celebrities portray. Children and teens cannot discriminate between good and bad role models. Facts have proven that 60 per cent of kids in America believe they will be famous while only one per cent can picture themselves working in an office. The youth are starting to do anything to do anything to achieve fame in their lives.

The constant bombardment of celebrity lives in our faces makes most people relate to them, even more than what we relate to our own neighbours and friends. Now let’s understand the impact of celebrity culture on society. We so tightly associate with celebrities because they reflect on what we want to be or what we want out of life. They have fancy clothes, perfect appearance, amazing parties, and a lot of money; their life seems perfect. They affect our lives without us even knowing and it is quite nerve racking. When have you ever felt happy for a celebrity when something exciting happens in their life? Honestly … rarely ever. As something negative such as a divorce in their life, immediately grabs our attention. We can safely say that celebrity news has been a topic started in many conversation in society. The constant form of celebrities showing off their bodies to the media makes people doubt their body image. There have been many celebs who whine about the pressure brought with the fame, so why do we continue to praise this wonderful thing?

Should we be looking at it more as a curse rather than a blessing? These celebrities experience extreme unhealthy emotions that come with fame and we still want to be like that?

63% of Canadians can't spot fake news.

Access to truthful news is under threat.

The Review, Weyburn, Saskatchewan, June 5, 2019 - 5

City hires new Deputy Fire Chief The Weyburn Fire Department and the City of Weyburn announced on Friday they have hired Denis Poulin as the new Deputy Fire Chief.

Poulin worked most recently in Alberta for the Drayton Valley-Brazeau County Fire Services. He has a background as a primary care paramedic, in municipal health and safety, software programming and network technologies, commercial diving, as well as a bachelor’s degree from Cape Breton University in emergency management.

“My father was an RCMP officer and he would tell me stories as a young boy of all the incidents that he had been to where he was unable to help citizens in distress,” he said.

“I promised him that someday I would be in a position to help those individuals. I have and shall continue to fulfill that promise.”

He was born in Montreal, and spent most of his life growing up in Milton, west of Toronto. He has two children, Gabrielle and Chantal, who live with their mother in Ontario. He

is excited to live in Weyburn and start a new chapter in his career and hopes to have his family move to Weyburn in the future.

Asked what attracted him to come to Weyburn, he said, “To bring my skillset to a fire service extremely rich in history and help provide a top quality emergency service to the residents of this picturesque city.”

“Living here will also allow me to finally learn how to spell Saskatchewan correctly,” he added.

Fire Chief Simon Almond said Poulin stood out in an extensive nationwide search, one which saw numerous very worth candidates apply, due to his extensive experience in the fire service operations and emergency management.

“It is my belief that Deputy Chief Poulin will be an excellent fit for our community, due to not only his vast knowledge and experience, but also his passion and commitment to not only the fire services, but also the community he serves,” said Chief Almond.

Top U17 goalie in Western Canada makes national team Rumina Edgerton of Weyburn was selected on Saturday to represent Canada for the U17 National team as goalie for the upcoming Pan-am Games in Trinidad and Tobago in August of this year. Rumina shares that honour with fellow Sask teammate Kim Frostad of Regina, a solid field forward, and both girls are members of the U19 Team Sask.

Rumina had her best personal season yet competing in the NCL series with her U19 team, taking a qualifying spot at National Finals after a NCL crossover win in Calgary in January.

Her team finished with a bronze after a tough tournament at the National Championships with an upset from Edmonton’s Tsunami Squad, who finished with silver, and Camo WPC, who regained the gold after losing to Team Sask in last year’s finals.

Rumina Edgerton jumped to deflect the ball in a waterpolo match, and will be doing this for Team Canada Under-17 squad for the Pan-Am Games, to be held in August in Trinidad-Tobago. She is a member of the U19 Team Sask based in Regina, and originally started in waterpolo with the Weyburn Hurricanes.

Weyburn waterpolo player on Team Canada

By Greg Nikkel A longtime waterpolo player from Weyburn, Kelsey Jensen, was chosen to be the goaltender for Team Canada to compete this summer at the Universiade Games in Naples, Italy.

The Games will be held from July 2-14, and the national team will arrive in Naples on June 27 to begin training together and playing scrimmage matches against other countries.

Kelsey is currently on the Team Sask senior women’s team, and she has been training with the Calgary Renegades waterpolo team, with a view to playing on Team Alberta.

This is her 16th year playing waterpolo, as she started out by playing for the Weyburn Hurricanes.

Kelsey wasn’t always a goalie, but became one in her fifth year of playing after she trained with a coach from France.

“I enjoy the leadership

role I have, as I have the best view of the pool and can talk to the other players about what I see happening during the game,” said Kelsey of why she enjoys playing in this position.

To help prepare for the Universiade Games, the coaches emailed out game tactics to the team players so they know ahead of time what they want the team to work on once they arrive in Italy, she noted.

“I’m really excited that I’ll get to play for Team Canada after being away from them for a few years.

I played at this competition in 2015 in South Korea, and it was the most incredible experience that I’ve ever had as an athlete,” said Kelsey, noting they ended up in second place that year. “It was absolutely amazing.”

She expects the level of competition to be quite high at the Universiade Games, and said she will need to have a tough

Rumina’s goaltending career has taken off after her full-time move to Team Sask in Regina, with a solid performance in a total of 448 minutes of game time in 14 season games for a GAA average of 8.07, only beaten in her age group

by Hanna Truchla of the Toronto Mavericks squad with a GAA of 7.08.

Rumina and co-goalie Gabriella Fisher of the Calgary Renegades Black will be part of the 13-member team competing for Canada. Rumina began her great career with the Weyburn Hurricanes Club in 2012 and has been a driven and focused competitor and advocate for the sport, having been to training camps in Montreal, Croatia, France, and Italy.

She will also be competing with Utah Premiere in the upcoming U.S. Junior Olympics in Orange County at the end of July.

Local lacrosse players selected for Team Sask The Saskatchewan Lacrosse Association has announced the 2019 Team Saskatchewan rosters that will represent Saskatchewan at Nationals on August 20-24 in Coquitlam, British Columbia.

According to the SLA, the 2019 Team Sask Box tryouts were the largest they have seen in over a decade. Over the course of three months, they watched and evaluated over 140 players to make up the final teams. There are teams at the Peewee, Bantam and Midget age levels that will represent the province at

Nationals.

Both the Peewee and Midget rosters have Weyburn players on them.

Sawyer Leko and Ryder Hignett from the Peewee Bantam Thrashers made the 2019 Team Sask Peewee roster. In addition, goaltender for the Midget Thrashers, Ty Petersen, made the 2019 Team Sask Midget roster. This is Petersen’s second time making Team Sask. Last year he was on the 2018 Team Sask Bantam roster and was the only Weyburn player selected to play on any of the teams.

Taking a swing at a good pitch

Review Photo — April Zielke

Outfielder Marcus Catalano takes a swing at a flying pitch made by the Regina Red Sox pitcher in the Weyburn Beavers home opener on Friday night at Tom Laing Park. After taking a 10-3 loss to the Red Sox in Regina the night before, the Beavers bounced back and redeemed themselves with a 6-3 win.

Sr. Beavers take 3 out of 5 to start season

By April Zielke The Weyburn Beavers started their 2019 season last week with five backto-back games.

To start off their season they had an away game on Wednesday against the Swift Current 57’s. They lost that game 9-8. On Thursday they played another away game, but this time in Regina against the Red Sox, and unfortunately they took a 10-3 loss.

The Beavers had a chance to redeem themselves against the Red Sox on Friday night at their season home opener game.

The top of the fourth saw the Red Sox score two runs putting them ahead in the game, but that quickly changed in the bottom of the fourth. Between wild pitches, errors made by the first baseman, being walked in and some fairly

big hits down the line, the Beavers led 5-2 by the end of the inning.

The Red Sox scored one run in the top of the seventh with a sacrifice fly to centre field, but the Beavers replied with their own sacrifice fly to centre field

by Luke Lubinicki to bring Dominic Bravo home.

Snagging their first win of the season, the Beavers topped the Red Sox 6-3.

The boys then had a chance to redeem themselves against the 57’s at Tom Laing Park on Saturday. Right away in the bottom of the first, Drake Pilat hit a single to right field and due to an error made by the right fielder, Garrett Perez was able to score a run.

In the bottom of the third, Nolan Machibroda hit a single to right field and advanced to first all the while allowing Perez to

score an earned run.

The fourth inning saw the Swift Current 57’s get on the board with one run.

It also saw Pilat send a bomber to right field that allowed both Tyler Scott and Tristian Rodriguez to come on home.

With the bases fully loaded in the fifth, Perrez was walked to first bringing Bravo home. The top of the sixth had two 57’s make it home, but that’s all she wrote for them as the Beavers took the 5-3 victory.

The Beavers versus 57’s games weren’t over for the week though. On Sunday the two travelled back to Swift Current to face off once again.

At the top of the third, the Beavers were trailing 5-0. Ryan Gaab stepped up to bat and hit a dinger, bringing both him and Marcus Catalano home.

In Memoriam

Violet Irene Paterson

Violet Irene Paterson passed away on May 25, 2019 at the Weyburn General Hospital at age 98. Vi was predeceased by her beloved husband, Gordon Paterson, in 2004; parents, Daniel and Anna Anderson; brothers, Carl (Marion), Albert (Clara), Arvid (Lil), & Daniel (Aileen) Anderson; sisters, Esther (Paul, Arvid), Viva (Johnny), and Elsie (Harold) Johnson; brother-inlaw, Roy (Velma) Paterson, and many in-laws from her honorary family, the Allans. Vi was born on May 4, 1921 and grew up on the family farm near Norquay, SK. She was proud of her Swedish ancestry and was blessed throughout her life with an abundance of visits from her cousins living in Sweden.

After her adult siblings left home, Vi stayed home to help her parents, with a short period of employment in Yorkton helping a family with housekeeping.

In 1954, Vi married Gordon, the love of her life, and they farmed together at Creelman, SK. Vi was devoted to her husband, family, and friends. She hosted many gatherings of friends and family and enjoyed working for the community, the Creelman Agricultural Society, and Creelman United Church. Although there was not much time for hobbies in those days, she enjoyed dancing, curling, the annual Creelman Fair, and other community events. She loved baking and was a master at making buns, cookies, cakes, and pies. An impromptu gathering of friends and neighbours for old time music, dancing, and good food was common at the Paterson house. Vi delighted in spending time with her grandchildren, and later great-grandchildren. When Vi and Gordon retired to Weyburn in 1981, they added a new community of friends and enjoyed cribbage, shuffleboard, and many other activities at the Wheatland Senior Centre. At age 95, Vi moved to the Weyburn Special Care Home, where she received much tender loving care and cultivated a new group of friends. She continued to live life to the fullest with their busy recreation program, including bowling, teas, cribbage, musical entertainment, outings, and many other events. Vi will be lovingly remembered by her son, Roger Paterson (Elva Iwanchuk) of Regina, SK; daughter, Phyllis Paterson (Tom Best) of Saskatoon, SK; daughter-in-law, Trudy Paterson (Kim Lockie) of Creelman, SK; grandchildren, Ryan (Marley), April (Mike), Collin, Brooke, and Evan; great-grandchildren, Hudson and Jackson; sisters-in-law, Kathryn Allan and Ruth Allan; nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

A celebration of Vi’s life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, June 7, 2019 at Fletcher Funeral Chapel, Weyburn, SK, followed by lunch and fellowship at the Weyburn Wheatland Senior Centre. Interment will follow at the Golden Gates Cemetery, Creelman, SK. For those who so desire, donations in memory of Vi may be made to The Wheatland Senior Centre or Weyburn Special Care Home Activity Fund. Arrangements entrusted to Fletcher Funeral Chapel, Weyburn, Saskatchewan, 306-842-5432. Messages and stories for the family may be left at: www.fletcherfuneralchapel.com.

The Review, Weyburn, Saskatchewan, June 5, 2019 - 9

Final competition for Old Time Fiddle Contest is held The final competition for the 19th annual Old Time Fiddle Contest was held in Weyburn on Saturday. Contestants ranging from seven to 15 years took part in the competition to win prize money and a trophy.

All participants received a medallion at the awards presentation. The contest was held at the Grace United Church’s upper hall, and many area residents came out to enjoy the event.

Emcee Michele Amy from Forget kept the audience entertained with informative information and stories, and listed the order of the three tunes the fiddlers were going to perform for the audience and judges. The participants needed to play a waltz, jig and a reel, hornpipe or breakdown, in that order.

Jacquie Walbaum from Forget was the house accompanist for all the competitors in the fiddle competition. She started the contest by singing O Canada.

There were three judges that were judging the participants. The first judge was Ray Knorr from Regina, a fiddler who has been coming to Weyburn for many years as a competitor. He has competed in many places besides Wey-

burn, including in the Canadian Grand Masters fiddle championship.

The second judge was Donna Hiller-Turk from Forget, who runs a music studio with her husband.

She originally came from Calgary, and as a teen she played with Calgary Fiddlers. She also teaches violin lessons in Forget.

The third judge was Mitch Dureault from Regina. He has played at the Weyburn contest a few times in the past, and won some prizes. He does luthier work in Regina along with playing music for fun.

The judges got together to play a few tunes for the audience, a toe tapping treat. They live in different places so they don’t get to play together, they just know the same tunes. The jam session happened before the awards, and all of the fiddlers got up to play some tunes together, and the judges joined in.

One of the events was Twin Fiddling, where two fiddlers play a tune in harmony. They must start the tune together and end it together to get the best marks. They play a waltz and a tune of their choice.

Novelty fiddling is when fiddlers play something different in an extraordinary way.

Contest co-coordinator Lynn Fawcett and countless volunteers have been putting this event on since 2000. It was a communityfunded event to provide entertainment for the community.

There were many business supporters over the years, and some have been there since the very beginning and have made the 19 years along with the contest coordinators.

“It is bittersweet to it being all over and done. I will miss seeing folks who come to the contest every year because they love listening to the music. I am thrilled to see so many young fiddlers getting started now, and maybe fiddle contests will return some day,” said Fawcett.

“When one door closes another one opens. We are happy for the memories we have had of the contest through the years and all the people we have met.

There are special memories of the fiddlers and special friends who are no longer with us, playing or listening with the angels,” she added.

The following are the contest winners for 2019.

Review Photo 9153 — Greg Nikkel

A group of 12 Rotary international exchange students introduced themselves to members of the Weyburn Rotary Club at a barbecue held for them on Sunday evening. The students, including Weyburn exchange student Vivian Huang, gathered to take part in a Western Canada tour, led by Doug Loden and Jenn Clarke of Weyburn. The group left on Monday morning, and will take the students to such destinations as Drumheller, Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and Edmonton. The trip will include a range of activities including raftling, horseback riding and hiking. The students are from Taiwan, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Brazil and Norway.

Cyclist promotes awareness of ovarian cancer

Riding for ovarian cancer

Review Photo 9222 — Greg Nikkel

Joan Thompson, a retired teacher from B.C., rode her bike into Weyburn on Monday as part of her “Ride for Sheila Rae” in memory of her sister, who passed away due to ovarian cancer.

By Greg Nikkel Cyclist Joan Kathleen Thompson, a retired B.C. teacher, brought the “Ride for Sheila Rae” through Weyburn on Monday, and she gave a presentation that evening at the Weyburn Public Library.

She lost her sister to ovarian cancer, and she is riding from Vancouver to Halifax to raise awareness of this cancer. She left the West Coast on May 14, and plans to reach Halifax by July 24, with hopes to speaking to people along the way about this cancer. At her presentation at the Weyburn library, Thompson spoke of how ovarian cancer is a particularly deadly disease for women with a five-year survival rate of only 44 per cent due to late detection. By comparison, 90 per cent of men with prostrate cancer and 87 per cent of women with breast cancer have a high survival rate five years after diagnosis, said Thompson.

Her sister was in stage 3 when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and she passed away within three years of that diagnosis.

“It’s extremely common for ovarian cancer to be misdiagnosed,” said Thompson, noting that 85 per cent of women who are diagnosed with it are already in stage 3 or 4. “Most oncologists will tell you they want to be able to catch a lot earlier than that.”

Other cancers, such as breast cancer or prostrate cancer, have made great strides in being able to be diagnosed early on, making treatment more likely to be successful, she said, while after 50 years there has been very little progress in the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

Thompson is hoping that by raising the awareness of ovarian cancer, they might be able to improve on that, such as finding a screening method that can help women in much the same way the mammogram has helped so many women get early detection of breast cancer.

While people have offered her money for research into ovarian cancer, she would rather that people donate online to Ovarian Cancer Canada. Meantime, her primary

aim of her bike tour across Canada is to make people more aware of this cancer.

Thompson said the trip has gone very well so far, making about 100 km a day in B.C., and making much longer distances since hitting the Prairies. She has encountered some smoke, but mostly in the last three days as she approached Weyburn.

When she has spoken to people about why she’s doing this bike ride, many times people say “bless you” for doing this, and for raising awareness of ovarian cancer.

In the days to come, she will be meeting with an ovarian cancer survivors group in Winnipeg. The common symptoms of ovarian cancer including a bloating abdomen, feeling full quickly after eating, back pain, abdominal pain and frequent urination.

Jerry Mainil inducted as oil industry “Legend” Jerry Mainil was born in Lampman in 1935. He later moved to Weyburn, where he graduated from high school in 1954. It was that year that he began what was to become a lifelong career in the southeast Saskatchewan oilfield.

Jerry worked his way from the ground up in the oil industry. He started as a roughneck on the rigs, went on to go into business as an oilfield water hauler and expanded his business to include oilfield welding.

He did all this while still being active in farming.

His business, Jerry Mainil Limited, was founded in 1961. Over the years, the business has expanded into all aspects of oilfield construction.

He initially started working in the oilpatch in 1955, hauling water with a three-ton truck. At this time Jerry learned how to weld. His first dirtmover, a backhoe, was purchased in 1958. A ditcher soon followed. In 1961 Jerry married Orlanda Andres of Herbert. The couple went on to have six children.

Jerry Mainil Ltd. was incorporated in 1961. The firm was welding, pipelining and doing oilfield maintenance. Bulldozers were added in 1963, and over the years the company progressed to larger and larger equipment. By the mid-60s trucks and pickers were also added.

If that wasn’t enough, in 1963, a small junior oil producer was started.

Originally called Oilfield Sales and Salvage, it drilled its first well in 1965. By the early 1970s, its name was changed to Caprice Resources. Over the years he bought out his partners and consolidated ownership of Caprice, which is still active today.

Jerry had originally wanted to farm instead of going into the oilfield.

He had farmed at Lampman until 1959. In 1968, he saw an opportunity to get back into farming near Weyburn. He called it his hobby. The farm became

Making another lap

JERRY MAINIL known as Jeranda. Over the next 50 years he built up his hobby farm to 20,000 acres. In 2017, the farm was re-aligned into multiple Mainil-family farms, and continues on through his sons and grandsons.

Jerry Mainil Ltd. had a satellite operation in Swift Current in the from 1965 to 1975, but Jerry eventually decided to focus on the work close to home.

During the 1980s the Mainil children came of age and became involved in the various ventures, eventually taking over their operation in later years.

Initiative and hard work have always been the watch words of Jerry’s business.

He has proven this many times over the years. In the 1970s, when other companies were folding, Mainil was buying them up and diversifying. Lease building became more important.

All of these moves paid off in the 1980s when the southeast Saskatchewan oilfields experienced another boom. His staff ballooned to over 80 people and his equipment inventory likewise grew rapidly.

In 1992, he turned this company over to his sons, Dennis and Dale, and his son-in-law Calvin Tracey.

They have continued to expand and run the business as in the past.

This gave Jerry more time to focus on Caprice Resources. Caprice is also a family operation that includes his son Michael (who is a petroleum engineer), and his daughter Pam. Over the years there has also been a lot of hunting, fishing and golfing. He has won his share of oilmen’s curling bonspiels, too. Jerry was a part-owner of the Weyburn Red Wings for several years and was on the executive when they had some tough times during the 60s and 70s. While humble about it, there has been plenty of charitable giving over the years, too.

Jerry has noted that a family is key to anyone’s success, and that’s what he has. In 1993, he was the first recipient of the Southeast Oilman of the Year award, and in 2003 he was inducted in the Saskatchewan Oil Patch Hall of Fame.

Weyburn Comprehensive School student Owen Hiltz ran in the senior boys 3000m race at the District Track Meet on Wednesday at the Comp. Hiltz ended up placing third in this race. He also ran in the senior boys 1500m and placed fourth.

Lane McKay recognized as Saskatchewan Oilman of the Year As the founder of Steel Reef Infrastructure Corp., Lane McKay has made a career of building companies in insurance, private equity and now associated natural gas and liquids processing in Saskatchewan.

Lane was born in 1960 in Calgary. His father was once a roughneck, but in his late 30s, he became the director of the Calgary Zoo after he quit the rigs. In high school the family moved to Waterton National Park, and Lane graduated high school in Cardston, Alberta in 1978.

He went to Grant McEwen College in Edmonton and earned a diploma in general insurance administration and risk management in 1985. He started working for Aoen, where he learned how to insure drilling rigs, gas plants and facilities. He was a commercial marketing broker in the oil and gas property department. Even though it was a slow time in the oilpatch, rigs still had to be insured as they were collateral on loans.

In 1990 Lane married Shannon Gellatly of Calgary. He worked with Aoen until 1990, when he went on to be cofounder of Canada Brokerlink Inc. As director and executive vice president of business development, he completed a total of 42 acquisitions in Ontario and Alberta from 1991 to 1998. This built Brokerlink into the largest independent property and casualty insurance brokerage in Canada before selling the company to Allianz Insurance in 1998.

During this period he learned consolidation strategies which would be helpful down the road.

Having “retired” at 38, his wife soon pushed him to go find something to do.

In 1999, a new industry, private equity, was just getting going, and small private equity funds in North America were funding junior oil and gas companies.

With partners in Houston

and New York, he cofounded COSCO Capital Canada in 2001. With his partners, Lane built this New Yorkbased private equity investment bank into the leading oil and gas private equity focused investment bank in North America, before selling the company to New York brokerage firm Rodman & Renshaw in early 2007.

They would originate and start up oil and gas companies, and market them to private equity funds. They only worked with private companies, at a time when the public junior market was going crazy. Some examples were McCaw Energy, Action Energy and Stratagem Energy. These firms would explore and develop a field, then sell it to an energy trust. By 2007, they had completed 42 startups in North America.

They sold the company at the peak of the New York Wall Street investment bank market, selling four months before the crash. Lane remained with Redman & Renshaw on contract for another two years, commuting from Calgary to New York.

He left in mid-2010 and started writing the business plan for Steel Reef. He took more than two years writing that business plan. The company was launched in November 2012.

He brought in two good friends as key advisors, Dean Potter and Neil Roszell (both of whom have also received the Saskatchewan Oilman of the Year award). They kept directing Lane towards Saskatchewan. Dean’s company, Elkhorn Resources, was in need of sour gas processing near Northgate, where they had done extensive work.

Steel Reef’s first gas plant, North Portal I, was in response to that need, launching the company.

As with his other ventures, Lane brought on two young partners, Scott Southward and Austin Voss.

Together with the backing

of PFM Capital in Regina, construction was started in the spring of 2013. It was the first gas plant in the area built in ages. Steel Reef remains, to this day, PFM’s largest investment, with multiple rounds of backing.

North Portal went into operation in 2014, with a second phase completed in 2015. A new plant was also built at Alameda in 2015.

The next year Steel Reef bought the Kisbey gas plant from ATCO and Nottingham gas plant from NAL. In 2018, the Steelman gas plant was acquired from Plains Midstream.

In the meantime, Steel Reef built an oil pipeline and terminal in the Viking play, from Plato to Kerrobert. By 2018 they bought the Coleville gas plant and gathering system from TransGas. In 2019 Steel Reef bought the Lignite, North Dakota, gas plant and gathering system. The year before, they built a short one-kilometre pipeline from North Dakota to Saskatchewan at North Portal.

This was a significant feat as they were able to secure a Presidential Permit to do so, something the Keystone XL pipeline struggled with for the better part of a decade.

Lane notes that the midstream business is like a tortoise race, and you always have to be looking ahead four or five years, as it takes a year to raise money. His job is to be strategizing three years out. Their goal is to develop the associated gas system in Saskatchewan and do similar work in North Dakota. An office was recently opened in Denver to that end.

In 2017, Lane was the Saskatchewan graduating class valedictorian of the Institute of Corporate Directors. He has served on the board of the Kid’s Cancer Foundation and New Jane Institute for Oncology Research. Lane and Shannon have four children and reside in Calgary.

Dennis Day wins Southeast Saskatchewan Oilman of the Year Dennis Day was born and raised in Carnduff, Saskatchewan to Tony and Vi Day. Along with siblings, Linda, Teresa and Larry, Dennis was raised in a trailer that was kept at his uncle’s farm yard or at the rig. They eventually moved onto the land that is now the Fast Trucking Service yard.

Dennis gained experience in the oil industry working for his dad at Fast Trucking. At a young age he started riding with his dad hauling water and moving rigs, sleeping on the seat of the truck – graduating to the floor when he grew too tall to fit on the seat.

He started working in the shop at a very young age changing tire after tire.

At 14 he started swamping, at 16 he started driving trucks on rig moves, and in his early 20’s he started truck pushing. Although he did not attend university, Dennis believes he earned a PhD in oilfield business from men like Rick Hayward, Lynn Stevens and his father.

Dennis is now president of Fast Trucking Service and runs it alongside his brother Larry. Dennis’ boys Harly and Nathan have been learning the business to one day take over.

Fast Trucking Service Ltd. was established in 1957. Starting with only a winch truck and a water truck, Fast Truck-

ing has grown into one of the largest family owned rig moving companies in western Canada. If you drilled an oil well in the area from 1983 to present there is a high probability Fast moved the rig.

Fast Trucking was just the beginning for the Day family. The Day family founded Day Construction in 1979, General Well Servicing in 1996 and purchased Sam’s Trucking in 2005. Dennis started Competition Environmental in 1997 and Runcible Oil in 2001.

Along with his family, Dennis acquired Fontana’s Trucking in 2006, Forsyth Hauling in 2010 and Jet Trucking in 2013. With a few key partners, Dennis is a major shareholder in VP energy and Morris Fracturing. Dennis notes that none of these companies would be successful without strong leadership from management and hard work of close to 300 employees.

In 1986 Tony, Dennis and Larry started their own oil company, TDL Petroleum. They drilled their very first oil well south of Carnduff, along with several other wells over the years.

Apart from being a major player in the southeast Saskatchewan and southwest Manitoba oilfield industry, he owns an apartment complex in Carnduff, and oversees the operation of Day family

farm which now farms over 6,000 acres and 200 head of cattle.

When Dennis isn’t running with work he likes to spend time with his kids Emily, Harly, Nathan, Julia, and his grandkids Nevaeh, Rilee, Haizley and Hugh. He enjoys travelling and has been to over 50 countries.

Dennis loves going to auction sales; he is a huge supporter of the Ritchie Bros auctions. When he was young family vacations were road trips to Edmonton for a sale. His father taught him from a young age two things about auctions; what’s one more bid? And you are only one bid higher than the next guy.

Dennis and his family are strong supporters of Carnduff and surrounding communities, donating both time and money to many organizations and foundations.

Dennis attributes his success in business to learning from his parents, that you work hard and surround yourself with hard working people.

Even with all the companies he owns it isn’t uncommon to see him out helping move rigs. Persistency, taking care of your customers and a good attitude are things he believes make you successful. Call and ask Dennis “How’s it going?”... “Couldn’t be any better!” will be his response every time.

Outdoor exhibits placed for the Sask. Oil and Gas Show Semi tractors and tanker units were placed on the exhibition grounds for the 18th biennial Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show, which began on Tuesday with the exhibitors golf tournament and a meet-and-greet steak and lobster supper.

The Oil Show will officially be underway today, June 5, with the chain-cutting with Mayor Marcel Roy at 9:30 a.m., the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Recognition Awards at noon, and the Sask. and SE Sask Oilman of the Year Awards at the supper this evening. Researcher and blogger Vivian Krause will speak today at 2 p.m., and commentator Rex Murphy will speak at the Industry Luncheon on Thursday, both at the Curling Rink, while Premier Scott Moe will speak at the luncheon today.
