Young Fellows Club to combine online and live auctions The Young Fellows Club of Weyburn will be launching their 67th annual auction with the online portion opening on Friday, March 22 at 9 a.m., and closing on April 6 with a gala event and live auction.

This year’s major fundraiser for the club will culminate with the evening event at the Weyburn Exhibition Hall, which will include a prime rib sup-

per, an open bar from 5-8 p.m., entertainment by the “Duelling Pianos”, and a live auction.

Tickets for the gala evening are $100 each, and can be bought by going online to weyburnyoungfellows. com, or contacting any Young Fellows member.

The funds raised from this auction and all of the club’s other projects go towards supporting a wide

range of groups, programs, and facilities that serve families and individuals in the Weyburn community and beyond. From athletics to education, parks and recreation, and special needs programs, every dollar raised by the Young Fellows goes back into making the community a better place for all.

The club was founded after a call was sent out by Don Mitchell to the young

men of the city to meet in the city hall on May 18,1922.

From this meeting was born “The Young Fellows’ Club of Weyburn”, with the

aims: To promote the spirit of fraternalism among its members; To develop its members for better citizenship and to contribute in any way which it deemed

advisable to public welfare.

The club chose the motto, “We Serve”, and marked its 100th year in 2022 with a major outdoor concert in Jubilee Park.

competition, right before the Saturday evening performance began with a musical theatre group dance.

Shelterbelt funds donated to Weyburn Ag Society A former president of the Weyburn Ag Society, Don Payak, made a surprise donation to the board of the Ag Society on March 12 from the Prairie Shelterbelt tree program he had been involved with.

“The donation from the shelterbelt program Don was involved with was a nice and welcome surprise,” said Tyler Metheral, the current president of the Weyburn Ag Society.

The board decided to use

You’re invited!

the funds of around $5,500 to purchase a trailer for the new portable stage, which has been built for the use of the Ag Society at their events, such as the Fair.

Metheral explained how the portable stage idea became a reality.

“The stage cover, with the side that folds open for a bigger stage, was an idea I had for a long time.

We finally had saved some money for this project when I gave the idea to Mike Bell,

and he ran with it, making it much better than I had planned,” he said.

“Not only did he design and work on the project, but he got most of the materials and labour to help build it donated by local businesses,” he added.

The new stage cover on was placed on Metheral’s trailer, because their old stage trailer could not handle the extra weight.

“This tied up my trailer most of the summer as we

had rented the stage/cover out. So when we received the donation from Don, putting the money towards a new stage trailer that will last for years was an easy decision,” said Metheral, adding, “We plan to recognize the shelterbelt program and their donation on the stage/trailer.”

Payak was involved with the Weyburn Agricultural Society for 28 years and was president for two of them.

ALARMING RISE IN OBESITY RATES Sabrina Kraft skraft@weyburnreview.com

T

here is an alarming rise in the number of people living with obesity. According to a recent study, obesity rates since 1990 have more than doubled in adults and quadrupled in children and adolescents. Obesity is now recognized as a great global health concern, as more than 51 per cent of the global population (over four billion people) will be classified as obese or overweight by 2035.

Obesity in Canada is a concern. There are studies that state the nation’s obesity rate is now higher than U.S. The range of obesity in Canada is between 30 and 33 per cent, with the overweight rate also exceeding 30 per cent. There are many factors why obesity rates have increased, and there is no simple solution.

Obesity can be a difficult conversation to have, as it can be embarrassing to admit that you are overweight or obese. It is important to feel comfortable in talking about the issue, and be there for someone who is struggling with their weight. I have seen many situations where an overweight person is made the subject of a joke, and it is no joking matter.

There are many negative effects when a person is overweight or obese. They can deal with high blood pressure, cholesterol issues, heart disease, stroke, and it is the leading cause of diabetes.

I have always struggled with my weight. I am rated on the overweight range of the body mass index (BMI) for my height and gender. With the extra poundage in the gut, due to a sedentary lifestyle, I have a lot of back issues. I know that the issue is a lack of significant physical movement in my routine, and really all I can blame is my own laziness.

That sedentary lifestyle is also the reason why obesity rates are spiking in children and adolescents. Unfortunately, our youth have a screen addiction, and sit around either watching TV, or their iPad, or their mobile phones. There

is also an uglier side to their screen addiction, as there are many unrealistic body expectations used in media, and causes some serious mental health concerns for youth.

There is a balance between the unhealthy expectations in media, and obesity. The important thing is to have open and honest communication between parents and children, and be comfortable answering questions that might arise. This can be difficult as our youth have a wide array of problems and issues that are more of a concern for their generation, and parents might have to do some research to understand.

Luckily, there are many resources in our community that can help parents learn how to respond to tough questions. There is valuable youth programming offered at the Canadian Mental Health Association, and counselling available at Envision Counselling and Support Program.

Another option are the Safe School resources available right at the Weyburn Comprehensive School.

There are also many valuable phone programs, like the 211 Saskatchewan, and Kids Help Phone where youth can turn to if they have difficulty speaking to their parents. The important thing is to reach out to the youth, and make them feel like they have someone to talk to.

The best way to treat obesity is to eat a healthy, balanced and reduced-calorie diet and to also exercise regularly.

Be careful that you are aware of any risks of any diet pills, especially since many that are advertising on TV or Facebook are not approved by Health Canada. It is always important to visit your health care team before you take any new medications, and have a solid drug management plan.

The most important aspect is consistency. Instead of starting a fad diet, make realistic and achievable changes to your meal plans. The same goes with making changes to increasing your physical activity levels. Good ways to start getting active include walking, swimming, and slowly work your way up to moderate-intensity exercise. Always talk to a health professional if you have mobility problems.

How to help a person with PTSD

Weyburn Review

Do you know someone who struggles with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and you don’t know how to help them?

It can be frustrating to watch someone you know struggle with their mental health and not be able to do anything about it.

As a result, here are six tips on how to help the person cope in these kinds of situations.

1. Learn as much as you can about PTSD: There are many books and information that will educate you on how to deal with PTSD and other mental health issues. Share this information with the person who is having a difficult time.

2. Be understanding and patient with the person who is struggling: Dealing with PTSD, depression, and anxiety can be difficult to manage. Do not make things worse by getting into arguments with someone who is suffering. Yelling will only make things worse.

3. Talk to the person instead of talking at them: It is important not to lecture the person who is struggling with PTSD. Talk to the person about their issues without being rude.

Most people will listen if you approach them

in a proper manner. It is also important to listen to what the other person has to say so you get an idea of where that person is coming from.

4. Find out the reasons why the person won’t get help: Some PTSD sufferers may not want to get help for various reasons. If this happens, find out the reasons why that person won’t talk to a counselor. Addressing a person’s issues and fears of getting assistance will go a long way in convincing them to get treatment.

5. Getting help is not a sign of weakness: Some people may think that getting help is a sign of weakness.

In this case, remind the individual that everybody learns new things on a daily basis.

Encourage the person who is struggling that there is nothing wrong with learning something new in their life.

6. Find a local PTSD group: It is important to get the individual who is struggling to join a local support group so they can get advice from others who are in the same boat.

Many people who are struggling with PTSD will be better able to relate to those who may have similar experiences and insights.

Two new doctors in Radville through SIPPA program

Fourteen new physicians are now practicing in rural communities across Saskatchewan after completing the Saskatchewan International Physician Practice Assessment (SIPPA) program in December.

This includes two new doctors in Radville, Dr. Anureet Gill and Dr. Gbemisola Osanyin.

Planning is underway to further increase the number of training seats that SIPPA offers. The number of training seats

was previously expanded from 36 to 45 each year under Saskatchewan’s Health Human Resources Action Plan.

Over the past 12 years, 539 physicians from around the world have successfully completed the SIPPA program. Currently, 304 are practicing in the province, 77 per cent of whom have established practice in rural or regional communities.

The SIPPA program assesses internationally edu-

cated physicians on their medical training and clinical ability as part of the licensure process to practice medicine in Saskatchewan.

Through a return-of-service contract, they agree to work in the province for a minimum of three years upon completion of the SIPPA assessment.

The Rural Physician Incentive Program offers up to $200,000 over five years to help recruit physicians to rural and regional communities.

RM of Lomond to receive federal, prov’l funding to replace a bridge

Bridges and culverts in communities across Saskatchewan will be replaced or upgraded after a combined investment of more than $8.2 million from the federal and provincial governments along with municipalities.

These projects were announced by Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Dan Vandal, and Saskatchewan Government Relations Minister Don McMorris. The new bridges will create safer and more efficient local routes. Investing in culverts will ease the flow of water underneath roads, relieving potential drainage issues in the future.

Rural municipalities, like the RM of Lomond No. 37, will receive funding for bridge replacement projects.

Lomond will get funding for the Long Creek bridge replacement, to replace the current 36-metre concrete on timber bridge.

The federal government will provide funding of $166,700, and the province is paying $333,300, with the RM to pay the balance of $500,000.

“Investing in rural community infrastructure projects, such as bridges and culverts, creates more seamless transportation and water distribution services,” Vandal said. “By providing new life cycles to these essential pieces of infrastructure, we continue to deliver for Saskatchewanians through investments that will make a real difference to their everyday lives.”

“Our government understands the impact

these projects will have on the communities receiving this funding,” McMorris said. “The importance of replacing and creating new infrastructure to build and protect our communities cannot be overstated.

Projects like this could not happen without the cooperation of the communities themselves. Our government is excited to have these projects get underway for our communities to reap the long-term benefits of growth and a stronger Saskatchewan.”

Investing in modern transportation infrastructure is critical to connecting communities, ensuring rural Saskatchewanians and their families have access to reliable infrastructure, and building a strong economy for all Canadians.

Harvard Media announced the acquisition of digital assets, SaskToday. ca and MooseJawToday. com, from Glacier Media.

In addition to acquiring these online communities, Harvard Media also will have a presence in 13 additional Saskatchewan markets including Weyburn, Estevan, the Battlefords, Humboldt, Assiniboia, Canora, Preeceville, Kamsack, Carlyle, Outlook and Unity/Wilkie as these online properties are included in the acquisition.

Furthermore, Harvard Media is entering into a long-term partnership with Glacier Media.

This strategic acquisition marks a significant expansion of Harvard

Media’s digital portfolio and underscores its commitment to delivering highquality, local journalism across Saskatchewan.

This collaboration will leverage the strengths of both organizations to enhance content delivery, technological innovation, and advertising solutions, ensuring that the communities of Saskatchewan and beyond continue to have access to exceptional news and information services.

“This acquisition by Harvard Media and partnership with Glacier Media is a positive, Saskatchewan-based innovation that will safeguard the future of high-quality journalism in Saskatchewan,” said Jayne Foster,

Editor of SaskToday.ca.

“Most importantly, the local news we provide will be supported by a longtime Saskatchewan-based company, and gathered and reported by Saskatchewan-based journalists who know what their communities care about, because these are our communities, too.”

While other media companies are reducing news, sports, agriculture and local information, the acquisition of SaskToday. ca and MooseJawToday. com is a cornerstone in Harvard Media’s evolved digital strategy to enhance its hyper local presence in Western Canada, and specifically Saskatchewan’s media landscape.
