Ghosts re-hearse for Halloween night

Review Photo 1749 — Greg Nikkel

A hearse filled with dubious characters are lit up by spooky floodlights alongside grave stones and ghosts, on the front yard of the home of Steve Hermann on McGillivray Drive in Weyburn. This yard is often dressed up with a Halloween scene at this time of year, along with another home across the street, getting people into the trick-or-treat mood for Halloween night, set for Saturday, Oct. 31. Some families may not be venturing too far because of concerns over COVID, but brave trick-or-treaters will likely be out and about.

Dustin Duncan, Sask Party win strong majority

By Greg Nikkel Weyburn-Big Muddy returned their MLA, Dustin Duncan, to another strong win in the provincial election, along with a strong majority for the Saskatchewan Party province-wide.

As of Tuesday morning, the Sask Party had won 50 seats to the NDP’s 11, with no other party winning any seats in the province.

In Weyburn-Big Muddy, with all 55 polls reporting, Duncan garnered 5,612 votes to 891 for Regan Lanning of the NDP, 657

for Collin Keith of the Buffalo Party, and 81 for Shane Caellaigh of the Saskatchewan Green Party. There were 15 rejected ballots.

One factor yet to be determined are the mail-in ballots, with 61,255 ballots issued province-wide, and 568 for the Weyburn-Big Muddy riding. Due to the pandemic, votes by mail received by 8 p.m. on election day will be counted by Elections Saskatchewan on Oct. 28, instead of on the date of the final count, which will be Nov. 7. The results of some

seats may yet change once these ballots are counted, including that of NDP leader Ryan Meili.

The Saskatchewan Party garnered 62.95 per cent of the popular vote; the NDP had 29.12 per cent, the Buffalo Party had 2.87 per cent, Green had 2.36 per cent, the Progressive Conservatives received 2.07 per cent, independent candidates got 0.25 per cent and the Liberals had 0.09 per cent.

Duncan gathered with his party executive at the Curl-

ing Rink lounge to watch the election results, and he thanked his supporters for helping him win another term in the Legislature.

In an interview, he said, “I’m feeling great about it, and tremendous gratitude to the people of WeyburnBig Muddy. I’m very blessed and I just can’t thank them enough for their support, and I’m excited to get back to work.”

Duncan said overall it was a fairly quiet campaign in this riding, with the biggest unknown factor being

the fledgling Buffalo Party and their candidate Collin Keith.

“It was pretty hard to gauge how much of a factor the Buffalo Party would be. That was a bit different from other elections that I’ve been involved in. Typically it’s been us and the NDP, and maybe a Green Party or Liberal candidate, but having a new party was a bit of a challenge to try to understand what that would mean for the dynamics of the race,” he said.

Duncan noted that he

found there weren’t very many undecided voters as he made his way around the riding during the campaign, and many of the issues that were raised were ones he had been dealing up until the writ was dropped, such as Weyburn’s doctor shortage for example.

As for other races in the province, he said it will be interesting to see what impact the mail-in ballots will have on some of the close races.

Communithon exceeds goal, reaches $206,431

By Sabrina Kraft The 2020 Communithon exceeded their goal on air on Friday, reaching $206,431 before going off the air at 11 p.m. Executive members, volunteers and community agencies were overjoyed at the fact that the goal was exceeded while still on air. The goal for the 2020 Communithon was $82,020.

From recollections of volunteers who have assisted with Communithon for a number of years, it has been at least seven years since the last time Communithon met or exceeded their goal while on the air. The main reason that Communithon exceeded the goal this year was because of a large bequest from the Charles Henderson Estate, which was announced by Wanda Miller,

chair of the Communithon committee. “Our community came forward, as they always have in the past, and donated to the community.

We were on our way to reach our goal, as this bequest really put us over the top.”

“It was just a wonderful surprise. It was a well-earned donation for our community agencies and their services. I am still speechless, that the family put so much forward as a donation in memorial of their loved one,” said Miller.

“We don’t know a lot about Mr. Henderson, but we are starting to learn a little bit. We have heard that he was a quiet person who had attended Communithon in the past, and must have loved the event to give such a generous donation.”

“People in Weyburn and

area definitely do have a commitment to the Communithon. There are so many people who have performed

or volunteered to the event in the past, and unfortunately who have passed. We had a few examples this year, with

Blaize Messer, Jim Brown, Jackie Hudson and Melvina Trumpour. We really appreciate these people who had

a love of the Communithon, and the love of the community,” said Miller.

Communithon exceeds goal

Continued from front page With a live fundraiser, there were definitely adjustments made to the Communithon entertainment schedule throughout the day, sometimes because of a technical difficulty with a submitted video, or to place entertainment into a different timeslot, depending on how it had to fit into the timeframe of the day.

“I think that Communithon went very well this year. We certainly were a little concerned about not having an audience this year and how it would impact the day,” said Miller. “The entertainment committee and AccessNow TV all worked together on the combination of pre-recorded and live music. The flow of entertainment was quite nice.”

“We had heard some really great comments, of how the presentation of the performances went (viewed from home), and that they found it very easy. We definitely heard that people missed coming down from the Legion to watch the fundraiser,” said Miller.

The Communithon committee works in partnership with AccessNow TV as the broadcast partner, Cleo Coderre from Music Craft for sound, the Weyburn Legion as the facility host, and United Way Regina who provides the charitable receipt for all donations.

“Our partners do very well, they just walk in and set themselves up. This is something that because there is a group who has volunteered for a long time, you can really see that during the event how the coordination works very nicely. They complement each other and you see a nice show behind the scenes,” said Miller.

The Communithon committee will be meeting for a debrief meeting to discuss what went well, and what needs improvement for next year. “There are things that

went really well, great opportunities that we have acted on, and a chance for us to learn what we can do better,” said Miller.

In November, the allocations committee will meet to discuss how the funds that were raised during Communithon will be allocated to the 11 community agencies, which will support their programs and services.

The community agencies that will receive funds this year include: Big Brothers Big Sisters Weyburn, Canadian Mental Health Association – Weyburn Branch, Canadian Red Cross, Community Low Income Centre, CNIB Foundation, Envision Counselling and Support Centre, Inclusion Weyburn, Spinal Cord Injury Saskatchewan, Weyburn Carea-Van, Weyburn Special Care Home and the Weyburn Youth Centre.

“The allocation committee is made up of community members who are not associated with any of the community agencies, because they allocate the funds once United Way Regina determines what that is,” said Miller. It is important to note that donations to Communithon are still being accepted. For anyone who needs to mail in their pledge, the United Way Regina address is listed on the Communithon website at www.communithon.com.

Then in January 2021, the Communithon committee will come back together and take the information they learned from the debrief meeting to start off the planning for the 2021 Communithon.

Miller also noted that this year the Communithon committee will prepare a final report, where they will present all the information about how the year went, about the 11 community agencies, and the final amount that was raised for 2020.

A standing ovation for Duncan’s big win

Review Photo 1804 — Greg Nikkel

The executive members of the Weyburn-Big Muddy riding association gave Dustin Duncan and his family a standing ovation after he gave his victory speech on Monday evening. The incumbent won his seat back handily, and had a small gathering in the Curling Rink lounge to watch the election results.

Duncan reclaims Weyburn-Big Muddy seat; Lanning, Keith reflect on election race Continued from front page For first-time NDP candidate Regan Lanning, she was stoic about the results.

“It’s a mixed bag. I’m not a politician. I entered this race not because I expected glory or even to win, but because I felt it was the right thing to do.

Someday Weyburn might be ready for a change,” she said, adding while COVID played a role in how the campaign went, she was happy with how it went.

“There’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes, but it was definitely worth it. Standing up for what you believe in is always worth it,” said Lanning. As far as whether she will run again, she said she doesn’t know at this point if she will want to or be able to.

“I’d like to congratulate Dustin on his win, and Collin did a great job. It’s interesting running a campaign in Weyburn, as there are never any personal attacks, because we do all know each other,” she said, adding she was able to do a lot of her campaign

online, using email and social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

Keith was pleased with his results, noting they didn’t have very much time to prepare for this election.

“Seeing as the party is seven months old and

“

constituency associations, and the party itself has to go through a leadership convention,” Keith said.

He admitted he learned a lot in this election, and was able to see what campaign techniques worked and what didn’t, and sees the rural areas as an im-

I entered this race not because I expected glory or even to win, but because I felt it was the right thing to do.

”

– Regan Lanning, NDP candidate Weyburn-Big Muddy there wasn’t much time for preparation, that’s a very good start for a fledgling party,” he said, noting the Buffalo Party will now take the time over the next four years to get more fully established in the province before the next election.

“We have to establish

portant area they will want to focus on in the next four years.

Celebrating the majority win late on Monday night, Premier-elect Scott Moe started his victory speech saying, “Last week we had a couple of big honkin’ rallies for a strong

Saskatchewan, and tonight we’re celebrating a big honkin’ election.”

With COVID-19 pandemic restrictions limiting gatherings to just 30, Moe was principally speaking to the cameras. There was no applause, no cheers, and no laughs at his jokes.

The room was mostly empty. As he walked off stage, there was silence; surely a first for a victory speech in a Saskatchewan general election.

Moe said, “I want to start by thanking the people of Saskatchewan.

For a fourth time you have placed your trust with the Saskatchewan Party.

You’ve given us a great responsibility. And we take that responsibility very seriously. We are humbled by the task that lies before us, and we are ready to go to work on your behalf. We are eager to build a strong economy, strong communities, strong families, and a strong Saskatchewan for everyone, for everyone in this green province. This has been an election, like no other, in our lifetime.”

Harvest all wrapped up in SE Saskatchewan The 2020 harvest is all wrapped up in the southeast region, and farmers are doing fall work as the weather conditions allow, although recent cold temperatures and snow have prevented some of the work being done.

Fall weed control and fertilizer applications have been limited for some due to dry soil conditions.

Crop yields varied greatly within the southeast depending on the moisture received throughout the growing season.

There were impacts caused by the hot and dry conditions this past summer.

Spring moisture reserves and some timely rainfall in certain areas resulted in average yields for farmers.

In the southeast, winter wheat had an average yield of 44 bushels per acre (bu/ ac); fall rye, 46 bu/ac; hard red spring wheat, 45 bu/ ac; durum, 44 bu/ac; other wheat varieties, 48 bu/ac; oats, 72 bu/ac; barley, 66 bu/ac; flax, 26 bu/ac; canola, 37 bu/ac; soybeans, 23 bu/ac; and peas, 41 bu/ac.

Yields for canaryseed averaged 1,324 pounds per acre (lbs/ac); mustard, 1,086 lbs/ac; lentils, 1,599 lbs/ac; and chickpeas, 1,259 lbs/ac.

Crop quality in the region was good overall, with the majority of crops falling within the top two grades due to limited fall moisture during harvest, and limited disease.

There were some reports of downgrading due to ergot in durum crops.

Crude Oil Prices Canadian prices are in Canadian dollars while West Texas Intermediate crude is stated in US $ at Tuesday, October 27.

Moisture conditions remain a concern for farmers in the southeast.

With below average precipitation during the growing season, paired with strong winds throughout much of the summer, topsoil moisture conditions are short or very short in most of the region.

Farmland will need significant amounts of moisture before next spring to replenish topsoil and subsoil moisture conditions for the next growing season.

Heading into winter, cropland topsoil moisture is rated as eight per cent adequate, 48 per cent short and 44 per cent very short.

Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as six per cent adequate, 32 per cent short and 62 per cent very short.

Average hay yields on dry land are, in tons per acre, as follows: alfalfa, 1.1; alfalfa-brome, 1.2; other tame hay, 0.86; wild hay, 0.76; and greenfeed, 1.7.

Most livestock producers indicate they will most likely have adequate hay, straw, greenfeed and feed grain heading into winter, although farmers in drier areas have reported many will have inadequate winter feed supplies and shortages will be likely.

Along with affecting hay and feed yields, the dry conditions this year have resulted in shortages or potential shortages of water supplies for livestock.

Acres seeded to winter wheat or fall rye are below average this fall due to drier than normal field conditions.

There were concerns that crops would not germinate and establish properly for livestock.

He also credits his membership in the Weyburn Young Fellows Club and local volunteering as helping him prepare for this role.

After graduating from Georgian College (Auto-

He said he and his wife Rhea are proud to live in Weyburn where they raise their four children, Olivia, Brittany, Pressley and Halle, in “the most family friendly community in Canada!”

STARS helicopter fleet hosted by MNP donation The campaign to renew STARS’ helicopter fleet has been given a significant lift, thanks to a $500,000 gift from MNP’s Partners across Saskatchewan. The donation was made public on Thursday at the STARS air ambulance base by Trevor Friesen, CPA, CA and Partner with MNP in Saskatoon.

“On behalf of MNP’s Saskatchewan Partners, I am proud to announce the combined personal donations of $500,000 to the Pegasus Project, supporting STARS’ campaign to update its fleet of helicopters,” said Friesen.

“We work and live in communities that benefit from access to STARS. It is this connection to STARS’ impact that motivated MNP Partners in Saskatchewan to personally contribute to this life-saving initiative.”

Melissa Swayze, CPA, CA, is a partner in MNP’s Weyburn office who says that supporting STARS is a natural fit, as the nonprofit service touches so many people and families across the province.

“Whether someone needs help in a bigger centre or a small community, where many of us grew up or now live, every time I see that red helicopter in the air I think of the many lives that have been impacted

by STARS.” MNP’s gift will support the Pegasus Project – a unique fundraising initiative created by businessman Vaughn Wyant and supported by community leaders to sell a custombuilt, one-of-a-kind 1968 Ford Shelby Mustang 427 coupe at the world-famous Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona in

TAX ENFORCEMENT LIST VILLAGE OF FILLMORE PROVINCE OF SASKATCHEWAN Notice is hereby given under the Tax Enforcement Act that unless the arrears and costs appearing opposite the land and title number described in the following list are fully paid before December 28, 2020, an interest based on a tax lien will be registered against the land.

Note: A sum for cost in an amount required by subsection 4(3) of The Tax Enforcement Act is included in the amount shown against each parcel.

January 2022. All proceeds will go to STARS’ new fleet.

“This would not have come together without the Pegasus Project and its leaders,” said Friesen.

“MNP has an excellent relationship with the volunteer committee behind the Pegasus Project, and we were excited about the idea of turning an incredible vehicle build into something amazing for our Saskatchewan communities.”

In June 2018, STARS unveiled a multi-year plan to replace its fleet of BK117 and AW139 aircraft with nine new medically equipped Airbus H145 helicopters, at a cost of CAD $13 million each.

“The bulk of our aging fleet is no longer being built and is becoming costlier to maintain,” said Andrea Robertson, STARS president and CEO. “Additionally, independent assessments of our fleet’s sustainability told us we needed to move from two

aircraft types to one.”

An extensive review resulted in the selection of the H145 aircraft as the best option for STARS’ new fleet. It offers cutting-edge technology, advanced safety features, and an updated version of the medical interior found in STARS’ existing helicopters. The remainder of the new fleet is expected to be delivered in 2021.

“We’re so thankful that our allies are helping us renew our fleet, particularly through these challenging times, when community support is so critical to our operations,” said Robertson.

“Our supporters ride along with us on every mission, and thanks to the leadership and financial support of these generous MNP Partners, we are closer to the goal of having our mission continue in a new fleet that will serve patients and communities across Western Canada for decades to come.”

Weyburn Review, Weyburn, Saskatchewan -- October 28, 2020

editorial opinion weyburn review Editorial

Voters support the parties leading the way The 2020 general election for Saskatchewan began with the question, from Premier Scott Moe,“Who do you trust?”

There was more to that question, of course, namely who voters trust to lead the province through this worldwide crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The impact of the pandemic hits every aspect of life for every man, woman and child, and it’s worldwide in scope — a singular reality that has hit every part of the economy and of every service provided by municipal, provincial and federal levels of government.

Likely the premier would have wanted an election on the issues, but with every issue tainted by the coronavirus, this became the central issue that needed dealing with by the various political parties.

In the end, the Saskatchewan Party was handed a very strong majority win with 50 seats in the Legislature, and the NDP won 11, with some races somewhat in question with mail-in ballots yet to be counted.

If the results are viewed through the lens of the ballot question, clearly the issue of trust was put to rest with a rather large majority of votes cast, about 63 per cent of the popular vote, making the unequivocal statement of support.

Whatever the NDP put forward in their platform, not to mention that of the fledgling Buffalo Party, the Greens and the PCs, were not enough to catch the attention of a population whose sole attention is living their lives in a time of pandemic, working (or finding work) and going to school.

Anything else just wasn’t that important.

Another factor in regard to the NDP’s campaign is that they focussed much of their provincial campaign on the urban areas, particularly the seat-rich centres of Regina and Saskatoon. The lack of any presence in rural ridings by the leader, Ryan Meili, could be viewed by the voters outside of those cities as meaning perhaps they don’t care very much about rural residents.

The rural areas are a stronghold for the ruling Saskatchewan Party, and the rural voters showed their response at the ballot box with an overwhelming majority.

The basic lesson would seem to be, do not ignore rural residents. They don’t have the numbers of a city, obviously, but taken altogether they showed they can flex their muscles collectively and return the government to another term.

The results were repeated in the two other provincial elections held before Saskatchewan’s, where the incumbent parties were returned by their electorate.

One message that could be garnered out of these votes is that people are more worried about the pandemic that never seems to end, more so than the usual political issues that come up, and voters are more likely to trust the ones who have already been putting forth their best efforts to guide us through uncertain times. — Greg Nikkel

Real nuggets of drama

MY NIKKEL’S WORTH

By Greg Nikkel

Email: editor@weyburnreview.com So I had a good week off, and while I didn’t get everything done around the house I had hoped to, it was a nice relaxing time.

The problem is, I think I’ve mined the nuggets on Netflix and Disney+ fairly thoroughly, and there were some really good movies and series that were definitely worth watching.

I wanted to mention one really good but unusual limited series, called “The Queen’s Gambit” on Netflix.

If I told you they created a series based on a girl who’s incredibly sharp and a chess prodigy, would that sound like an exciting show?

Aside from chess fans, probably not. But it was really, really good, and it was due to the storytelling about the young girl, following her story into adulthood, as she pursued her singular talents in chess to the world level.

As an occasional chess player, I could follow some of it (and there were lots of references to very particular chess strategies and moves that I’m sure a chess expert would find interesting), but the story about her as a person carried the story for the most part.

There were times that she acted in a bizarre manner, and times when her vices and habits got the best of her, but then her friends and support-

ers came through and helped her, and wouldn’t give up on her, recognizing the unique talents that she had.

There were also two movies that are worth mentioning for anyone who enjoys a good drama.

One was a remake of “Rebecca”, which was originally an Alfred Hitchcock movie.

Normally I would avoid this, as films by the master are too good to be redone. In this category, I would place his classics like “Rear Window”, “Vertigo” and “North by Northwest”, among others.

These are all perfectly-crafted films and cannot ever be remade to do the originals justice.

In the case of Rebecca, however, I would say this is a very nice, beautifully-shot and well-acted movie of this story, and is well worth checking out. The other movie that was really good is one from 2017 called “Marshall”.

This is a story about Thurgood Marshall as a lawyer for the NAACP, who went on to become a justice for the U.S. Supreme Court. In this story, he appears in a case of a black man accused of raping a white woman, and the challenges he faced as a black lawyer (such as the judge refusing to allow him to represent the accused). In light of recent racial tensions in the U.S., this is an excellent movie to see.

Communithon Strong 2020 Communithon poem by Jean Fahlman The following is the poem penned by Weyburn writer Jean Fahlman for the 2020 Communithon, keeping up her annual tradition. She read her poem during the opening ceremonies for the annual fundraiser, held on Friday at the Weyburn Legion Hall.

January 2020 charged in and the world shut down as COVID-19 swept across the land, a raging blizzard which no one saw coming.

Businesses closed, lives were put on hold and people kept eyes averted, smiles shrouded behind masks.

People stayed home — distanced.

However the resilient human spirit rapidly rose to find creative ways to live in virtual reality.

Communithon stood unflinching not losing sight of the proud tradition of giving, Knowing that the need for help continues to grow.

As sure as the sun rises and sets each day to warm and lighten the way ahead, Communithon remains, evolving and leading the way, somewhat changed but a might force of good will.

When the deadly virus blizzard finally ends people will emerge from their safe home cocoons, dust off and flutter their wings, then fly back into the real world again, forever grateful that Communithon and community remained here to help, to find a new way working together neighbours helping neighbours here to stay.

Junior Varsity football team wins playoffs in Moose Jaw

Photo submitted by Jody Kerr

Coaches Jody Kerr and Rob Umbach gather with the Junior Varsity 7v7 touch football team that won their playoffs against Moose Jaw, held on October 24. In no particular order, players include Cale Mohan, Chayton Fornwald, Conner Kerr, Isaiah Sanderson, Kaleb Berg, Kiran Hamel, Luke Henning, Owen Istace, Ryder Knox, Tiki Zeus Umbach and Xander Shane. Missing from the photo were Liam Maloney and Noah Kopec.

Junior Varsity football teams win playoffs

The Weyburn Junior Varsity 7v7 touch football team won their playoffs, which was held in Moose Jaw on October 24.

Both the Junior Varsity team (Grade 9 and 10 players) and the Varsity team (Grade 11 and 12 players) competed in the playoffs, after securing first place in their respective Sask Selects leagues. This 7v7 touch football program is a club group based out of Moose Jaw, and Weyburn was the only team from the southeast that competed in touch football this year.

In their two games during playoffs, the Junior Varsity team won 61-9 over the Blazers, and then 5019 in the final against the Moose Jaw Rebels.

Jody Kerr, coach for the Junior Varsity, explained the difference for touch football when compared to tackle football. “We play just a passing and defensive game. There is no running and no linemen. So that makes a big difference for the players.”

“It is less serious than a typical tackle football league. But there is a lot of skill development for our athletes. The program

was definitely good for our players and our coaches, because it focuses on passing, and gives those receivers and quarterbacks a different perspective.”

The coaches involved in the program included Chris Michel, Rob Umbach and Kerr. “The program really allows our athletes to play football in some kind of capacity, because with no tackling allowed it does align with COVID-19 restrictions. There are also smaller groups in the teams, not as many players on the field,” said Kerr.

“The parents were really great and understanding. Instead of sitting in the stands, they were able to park right up to the end zones, and honk their cars when they saw a good play. They really helped out by social distancing themselves.”

It was really important that the athletes had a chance to get out on the football field this fall, because due to COVID-19 restrictions, other than some baseball programs, there were not many sports programs offered for local athletes during the spring and summer.

Gold Wing coaches prepare for upcoming hockey season The coaching staff for the Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Gold Wings feel that they have good direction in what is needed for the upcoming season, after the team faced up against the Regina Rebels in two exhibition games. The first game was held on Oct. 17 in Weyburn, and the second was held in Regina on Oct. 24, with the Gold Wings losing 9-1 to the Rebels.

“It was a great measuring stick to face up against one of the strongest teams in the province,” said Kyle McDonald, director of performance and general manager of the Gold Wings.

“Practice is one thing, but now we have a good idea of what we need to do.”

The exhibition games provide an opportunity for the coaches to work on offensive and defensive plays with the players. The Gold Wings were one of the first teams in Saskatchewan to push forward to hit the ice, once approval for a ‘Return to Hockey’ program was released by the Saskatchewan Hockey Association,

which worked closely with the Saskatchewan Health Authority for best practices for the upcoming season.

McDonald mentioned that it was valuable to the Gold Wings hockey association that they had great support from the City of Weyburn to host their game.

The regular season is now being planned, with the Gold Wings to face up against Swift Current in their first game of the 2020-21 regular season on Sunday, Nov. 8. McDonald noted there will be seating restrictions in place, with numbers set at 150 people right now. “These tickets will go towards our sponsors, season ticket holders, parents and billets first, before we open them up to the general public.”

There are no additional exhibition games planned for the Gold Wings, as the coaches are ensuring that the players get a chance to go home for a quick rest this upcoming weekend, before returning to the rink and preparing for the opening of the regular season.

Taking the action to the net

The Estevan Bruins goaltender fended off an offensive attack by the Weyburn Red Wings on Saturday night in Estevan, where the Bruins blanked the Wings 3-0 in an exhibition game. They also won in Weyburn on Friday night by a score of 6-3. The two teams will do another home-and-home pair of games on Friday in Weyburn and Saturday in Estevan.

Red Wings drop exhibition games vs Bruins The Richardson Pioneer Weyburn Red Wings faced up against their Highway 39 rivals, the Estevan Bruins, during a home-andhome exhibition series.

The Red Wings lost 6-3 over the Bruins in their home exhibition game on Friday evening. The Wings outpaced the Bruins for shots on net, but just were not able to capitalize on goals. Brent Stephanson, president of the Red Wings hockey club, said that for getting people in the rink in respects to COVID-19 restrictions that fans were very respectful. “They kept their masks on for the en-

tire game, and respected the social distancing rules that were in place. This was really great that Sask Health was able to see how things were handled, so hopefully we can increase the numbers in the rink by when the regular season starts.”

“The fans seem to understand that right now the regulations are out of our control. We are following guidelines for the health of our community and for our players. The City of Weyburn is doing their due diligence to keep the dressing rooms, stands and the entire rink sanitized right now.”

The Red Wings then lost 3-0, in a penalty-heavy game while in Estevan for the second game on Saturday. Despite the amount of players who were in the penalty box, the Wings went 0/10 on the powerplay, and the Bruins went 0/7.

Another set of homeand-home exhibition games are scheduled for this weekend, with Weyburn hosting on Friday, Oct. 30 and then Estevan hosting on Saturday, Oct. 31.

According to the recently released Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League regular season, the Red Wings first home game of the 2020-

2021 season will be November 7, against Notre Dame.

For the first few months, the Red Wings will only play against teams in the southern area, with no northern trips until February.

“This year, with how finances are looking, not having those northern trips will help a little,” said Stephanson. He also noted that when speaking to alumni of the Red Wings, that in the early years of the team that they only faced up against other teams in the southern area during the regular season, and then they faced up against the top northern team in the playoffs.

Radville hosts Adam Herold Hockey program The Adam Herold Legacy Foundation (AHLF) held its Hockey and Leadership Development Program in Radville over the weekend.

The Foundation was established to honour Adam Herold, the youngest player killed in the Humboldt bus accident. Adam, from Montmartre, Sask., was a talented athlete but more importantly, he was always willing to help others to make his community and province a better place.

The Hockey and Leadership Development program provides opportunities to Saskatchewan youth to develop and refine not only their hockey skills, but also their leadership potential.

The Foundation provides top trainers for skill development, physical and mental training, coaching

development and ongoing support for hockey programs in rural communities.

While hockey skills are an important part of the program, the camps also focus on teaching players about being leaders in their communities and the importance of helping others and giving back. In fact, all participants are asked to complete volunteer work in their communities as part of the leadership training.

“The focus on players giving back to these communities is a key element of our hockey and leadership development camps,” said Russell Herold, Adam’s dad. “We try to really drive home to the kids that what they do and how they act off the ice is also very important. Doing the right thing and being a

leader counts not only in the dressing room but also in their schools and their communities.”

Radville is the first of three communities to host the Foundation’s program for the 2020-21 season — Naicam and Maple Creek are scheduled to hold their camps in the coming weeks.

The events are a joint effort between the Foundation and host communities.

Communities are responsible for arranging and providing ice and classroom facilities, coordinating registration and providing other support as required and the Foundation provides highly qualified coaches, instructors and other resources for the weekend sessions.

Herold said, “2020 has been a trying year for everyone so we’re pretty

excited to be able to get out and visit these communities. Even though we had to make some changes and scale back the number of participants to comply with COVID regulations, we’re looking forward to giving these kids a great experience and hopefully leave them with some new tools to help them make a positive difference in their communities.”

This is the third year for the AHLF Hockey and Leadership program. In 2019-20, the Foundation travelled to Preeceville and Alameda/Torquay. In 2018-19, Balcarres and Gravelbourg played host.

One-day mini-camps are also held annually in Montmartre at the rink where Adam first learned to skate and fell in love with the game of hockey.

Wor-Kin Shop employment program featured at national conference October is Disability Employment Awareness Month (DEAM) across Canada, and Weyburn continues to lead the way in inclusion and innovation.

“At the start of October, our employment coordinator, Meagan McLeod, presented to the national conference on supported employment about some of the successes that are happening right here in Weyburn,” said Jeff Richards, executive director of Weyburn Wor-Kin Shop.

“The Canadian Association of Supported Employment hosted their annual national conference online, for people across Canada, and we were thrilled when asked to present.”

SARC (Saskatchewan Association of Rehabilitation Centres) hosted a province wide Lunch-andLearn focused on Supported Employment on Oct. 13, and once again Weyburn was featured.

This time it was Jeff Chessall, owner of the Weyburn RONA store, who presented his business case for hiring individuals who experience disabilities.

“Our RONA store currently employs two individuals who experience disabilities and we cannot

imagine doing business any other way,” said Chessall.

“Both of these individuals are valuable assets to our business and we encourage business to think about this labour pool.”

“Supported Employ-

ment takes on many different models, and there really is a great fit for everyone,” said Wor-Kin Shop Employment Coordinator Meagan McLeod.

“Our role is to make a successful job fit for both

the employer and the employee, and I would love to opportunity to talk to any organization about the positive impact that employing someone with a disability can have in their operation.”

By Norm Park, Contracted Reporter for SECPSD A bus transportation request was made in person to the Southeast Cornerstone board on Wednesday

by Stacy Brandon, who appeared before the board members to outline the reasoning behind the request to have her daughter, a Grade 8 student, become a regular bus rider for classes at Weyburn Comprehensive School.

Her daughter had been in the Lyndale School service area, but has been

driven to WCS by family members since the decision was made to attend the Weyburn school for a variety of reasons.

With winter approaching, Brandon suggested the additional seven km., 10to-12 minute bus route was doable.

Brandon fielded a few questions from trustees regarding possible courtesy locations for pick up.

Chairwoman Audrey Trombley informed her the board would provide a decision for her within a short time span.

The Quota Carol Festival, which is held the first Sunday in December, has been a part of the Weyburn community’s start of the Christmas Advent since 1954. The Quota Club of Weyburn has decided that despite all the roadblocks and rules courtesy of the current COVID-19 pandemic situation, they will continue this tradition with 66th Annual Quota Carol Festival, but online.

It won’t be held at Grace United Church nor will they have a stage filled with performers or have the community in the audience, but the club hopes that with the help of the community, they can bring the joy of the season to the community.

Quota is excited to be working on this project as a partner with Access Communications. Corey Morrisette is helping the club to have a “virtual community Christmas Carol Festival.”

“We know that a virtual festival will not have the same excitement in the air as when the children are all dressed up and gather to perform in front of a live audience or the ambience of beautiful Grace United Church Christmas décor, but it will still feature Jean Fahlman reading the biblical advent story and choirs singing your favourite Christmas carols and bringing the spirit of Christmas into your home,” said Heather Sidloski of the Quota club.

The planning committee hopes that groups (which means a minimum two per-

formers), perhaps a “family or friend bubble,” will prerecord their Christmas carols which will be uploaded to be featured in the program.

This year’s plan also includes using archival editions of past performances. So be sure to watch as you might see yourself on the screen.

Organizers do not have all the details worked out yet, but to date they know that the program will be livestreamed on Sunday, Dec. 6 at 2 p.m. on the Access Weyburn website and on Facebook live.

If you are an Access subscriber, you will also get to see the Quota Carol Festival throughout the Christmas season as usual.

“As always we are arranging for a ‘silver collection at the door’, which allows the Quota Club to collect monies which are then invested back into the community to charities that the club supports, such as the Weyburn Public Library Toy Lending Library, FM hearing systems, Envision, scholarships at Southeast College, etc.,” said Sidloski.

Donations can be dropped off at McMahon Chartered Professional Accountants at 604 Government Road South in Weyburn, or by e-transferring quotaweyburn@gmail. com.

Any groups or choirs that would like to become part of this community concert and participate in the 66th Annual Quota Carol Festival, contact Heather Sidloski at 306-861-2837 or hsidloski@ hotmail.com.

These much-needed service providers are, however, experiencing difficulties in being certified due to a significant backlog of applications piling up in the Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) head office.

Lynn Little, director of education, indicated there was a move being made to have SGI staff work with them by sending some certification agents to Wey-

Cole George Crooks

Cole George Crooks died tragically on October 8, 2020 at the Weyburn Hospital, Weyburn Saskatchewan from injuries sustained from a work accident. Cole was born August 30, 1980 in Rockglen, the second of twelve children to Mark and Doreen Crooks. He was a very happy child referred to as “that boy with the smile pasted right on his face.” Early on he was very capable: walking at nine months, skating at three, and riding a bike the summer he turned four. After moves to Estevan and Coronach, the Crooks family moved to the farm at Fife Lake in 1992. He helped get the house ready, built fences and corrals, spent hours cultivating with the 830 John Deere, milked cows, and helped with the sheep. He was always busy building things or taking them apart and became the family repairman. Cole completed grades 7-12 at Rockglen School, graduating in 1998. He was among the top six contenders for Valedictorian (out of 25 grads) and his forte was math and the sciences. His group of friends were prone to mischief. “Cole is a great friend, he never lets us get into trouble -- ALONE.” They were also very diligent, hard-working, and motivated young men and have remained very loyal right through adulthood. Post Secondary was at SIAST in Prince Albert.

He and another student accomplished the eight month course between Thanksgiving weekend and Christmas because they were anxious to get the jump on job opportunities. He achieved Journeyman Electrician with Humboldt Electric working on some interesting projects and would call home with his work stories. During these years, he enjoyed travelling and made many miles on his motorcycle. Between jobs with Humboldt Electric, he took a trip to the Yukon and ended up working for three months for an electrical company in White Horse, spending a lot of time with Uncle Joe Corcoran. He started with SaskPower on a travelling repair crew in a project position and achieved his Journeyman Power Lineman ticket. He bought a townhouse in Regina and finished the basement of it by himself. When he was required to move with work he rented out the townhouse and lived in Swift Current for awhile and then Saskatoon. Cole always had in mind a distinct order for life and now that he had his career started, it was time to find the right girl. In 2006, Cole met a girl from Minnesota and put on many miles to visit. He decided the distance was worth it and sold his motorcycle to buy a ring. Cole and Tristen were married on August 23, 2008 and he planned the surprise honeymoon to Alaska. They were anxious to find a farm and provide that way of life for their children. They bought their farm outside of Weyburn in 2009 and welcomed daughter Clare in 2010. In 2016 they became foster parents and welcomed sons Blaze in 2017, Ivan in 2019 and Saint in 2020.

Cole is the second oldest of his family and was a strong role model for the entire family. He was the person to go to for advice, reassurance, and always took time to listen or to check in. He was very dependable. If he said he’d do something, he did. If he said he’d be there, he was. He’d go out of his way to do things for them; making extra miles or getting up earlier to help them out before attending to his own commitments. But most of all Cole was a lot of fun to be around; often laughing so hard tears would run down his face before he could finish his story. Cole was very devoted to his wife and children. When Cole started in Weyburn, he was on the training crew and on the road during the week. So shortly after Clare was born he took a job at the training centre and then the city crew so he could be home every day. He had supper each night with his family. Ivan loved when he came home and as soon as he heard the door he’d shout “Da-da!” On Sundays he rested from work and took time to enjoy his family and take them to church. He always made sure Tristen had what she needed. They put a new house on the farm in 2018 and bought a van for the babies. If she asked him to pick up formula and diapers he’d get a year’s supply. Cole was so patient. Early on in the marriage and farming adventure when Tristen blew up a truck engine, he didn’t even get mad. He gave Tristen the confidence she needed on the farm and taught her the best way to learn is just by doing. He was a great teacher and loved teaching Clare many things. When she had a question he took the time to listen and explain. He taught her how to change oil and tires, build fence, and about the stock market by opening a practice account for her.

Making time for family and friends was important to Cole. He was always a welcoming host and celebrated milestones on the farm with parties, complete with a live band. He made it work to get to Minnesota a couple of times a year, even quick 48 hour trips to meet new nieces and nephews. When good friends had to move back to Ireland, he took Clare and Tristen there to visit them. Being a very strong and capable man he pursued whatever activity with energy and enthusiasm. The first years on the farm were the wettest years recorded and yet Cole persevered, getting stuck many times, and seeded grass for a pasture and hay. Cole and Tristen bought sheep and recently cattle and crop farmed organically. Cole loved farming and providing a simple life on the farm for his children. Blaze loved being outside with him.

He designed and built a playhouse and chicken coop with Clare. He would go on bike rides in the evening with her. He could tell you all the farm equipment listings on Kijiji and upcoming auctions. He shared enthusiasm for farming with his father-in-law. This past year’s seeding, haying and harvest was exciting and enjoyable for Cole. Cole and Tristen enjoyed working and building their farm together. Though life was busy, their hearts were full. Cole was a very private person and did not always share his feelings or thoughts, but when he did feel it necessary to speak, he spoke profoundly and with conviction. Anyone that knew Cole would tell you how hard he worked and selfless he was. He didn’t often talk openly of his faith, but he didn’t need to as he lived it every day. He was a provider for his family and helper to those in need. He was an example to his family, co-workers and friends of a life well lived. Cole is survived by his loving wife Tristen (Greenslade), daughter Clare and sons Blaze, Ivan, and Saint. Mother Doreen Crooks, Siblings Slade Crooks, Jennifer (Mark) Fedorychka, Sarah (James) Barret, Mary (Nikolay) Grishchenko, Lincoln (Jocelyn) Crooks, Eli (Heather) Crooks, Miles (Shannon) Crooks, Basil Crooks, Vera Crooks, and Bridget (Jordan) Lafleur.

Father and Mother in-law Ron and Karen Greenslade, sisters-in-law, Tami Greenslade, Tina (Greg) Altman, Tara (Jens) Dammen, Tisha (Ben) Frost, Talia (John) Kruse, and Tatum (John) Holdvogt. Grandma-in-law Fay Colgan. And 35 nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father Mark Crooks (2016) and his brother Joshua Crooks (2011). Prayers were held on Friday, October 16, 2020 at 7 pm, St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church Weyburn, Saskatchewan with Father Gerry Bauche celebrant.

The Funeral Mass was celebrated on Saturday, October 17 at 2 pm, Ste Radegonde Roman Catholic Church Lafleche, Saskatchewan with Fr. Carlos Jimenez celebrant. The pallbearers were Lincoln Crooks, Eli Crooks, Miles Crooks, Basil Crooks, Tyler Remoue and Dustin Miller. Interment took place at the Lafleche Roman Catholic Cemetery. Masses in memory of Cole were greatly appreciated. Online condolences can be shared at www.pichehawkinsgrondinfuneralchapels.ca

Family was everything to Mabel. She took great joy in her children, especially her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Mom always had a kind word for everyone, kept her sense of humour and saw the positive in every situation. She was loved by all. The Evert family would like to thank the staff at Tatagwa View for the care and kindness they showed Mabel during her last years and especially her last days.

Glendon “Glen” Fleming

Glendon “Glen” Fleming Late of Weyburn SK passed away October 19, 2020 at the age 88 years. Glen was predeceased by his parents, Herbert and Helen Fleming, his siblings and their spouses: William (Leola) Fleming, Muriel (John) Potts, Gordon (Leona) Fleming, Rosella (John) Erickson, Lyle Fleming and brothers-in-law Arnold Fournier and Victor Clark. Also predeceased by Mildred’s parents, Edna and Rowland Reeves, and her sisters Irene (John) Placatka, Barbara (Bob) Pegg, and sister-in-law Dorothy Reeves. Glen was sadly also predeceased by one son-in-law, Larry Pearson. Glen will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 63 years, Mildred and their daughters, Kathy (Dale) Larsen, Sandy (Yancy) Baan and Shelley (Darin) Schneider. Eight grandchildren will forever miss their grandfather: Chad (Andrea) Larsen, Danielle (Gary) Bischler, Travis Larsen, Ashlea (Brandon) Gillis, Kayd (Courtney) Larsen, Michael (Emily) Pearson, Allison (Tyson) Diana, and Cole (Sara) Schneider. Great-grandpa adored his nine great-grandchildren: Wyatt, Paisley, Delainey, Rhett, Cassidy, Westyn, Brooks, Vaughn, and Kailer as well as two more great-grand babies due this year. Also stealing GrandpaGlen’s heart here in Weyburn were great-great nephews and nieces: Liam, Jyllian, Ben, Cole, Hudson and Logan. Glen is also survived by his sister, Lorraine Fournier, brother, Roy (Karen) Fleming and Sam Stevens (devoted companion to Lyle), brother-in-law Frank Reeves and sister-in- law Rhoda (Don) Bily and many nieces and nephews. Glen was born and raised on the family farm at Brooking, Saskatchewan. From humble beginnings but surrounded by family love, the large family always had food on the table and laughter in their hearts. The boys helped with farming but also helped provide by hunting and fishing, and those two jobs lead Glen to lifelong enjoyment of both and a commitment to wildlife and conservation. Glen and his brother, Roy, hunted together annually until this year. Glen’s employment in Weyburn began at Husky Service as a mechanic. A life of service to the city included the Fire Department, where his family lived in the firehall from 1961 to 1968, and then with Weyburn Police Service until his retirement as a Sergeant in 1992. He exemplified his roles and was a highly respected officer.

Glen and Millie enjoyed many years of vacations with their fifth-wheel, travelling and camping throughout Western Canada and to Alaska. Trips to Hawaii were special and memorable. But of all the hats he has worn (and collected) the job that he loved the most was family man. A more loving husband, adoring father and proud grandfather could not be found. Glen was the dad everyone should have, the brother you could depend on, the uncle who pulled your leg, the neighbour you relied on, the partner who had your back and the friend always game for early morning fishing or a visit at the kitchen table.

Someone we love could live to be a 1000 and it still wouldn’t be long enough.

Weyburn, as a community, was the beneficiary of Glen’s voluntarism and commitment to the city of Weyburn. Often seen counting birds, volunteering with Girl Guides, Brownies, Scouts, archery, snow-shoeing, bike safety, gun safety, fish hatchery, Wildlife Federation and Knox Presbyterian Church; the obvious is that he will be missed and he made a difference in this city. When a helping hand was needed, Glen was the first to show up. Glen bravely fought a six-month battle with cancer. Our family is grateful for the compassionate care-givers at both the Weyburn General Hospital and Tatagwa View Care Home (House 11). A private family celebration of life was held on Friday October 23, 2020 at 11:00 am from RD Family Funeral Chapel, Weyburn, SK with Rev. Bob Wilson, officiating. A private family interment followed at the RD Hillcrest Columbarium, Hillcrest Cemetery, Weyburn, SK. For family and friends so wishing, donations in memory of Glen may be made to the Weyburn Wildlife Federation Box 612, Weyburn, SK S4H 2K9 or Knox Presbyterian Church Memorial Fund, 136-2nd St. Weyburn, SK S4H 0T8Arrangements were entrusted to RD Family Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, Weyburn, SK (848-0333 ~ 1-888-848-0333).
