Singer Brayden King performed a new song, “Front Row”, in tribute to his late mother, Lana King, who was always his biggest supporter of his music career. She passed away after a battle with cancer two years ago.

Brayden was the featured performer for the Weyburn Credit Union’s community barbecue on Thursday evening.

It was an exciting day Tuesday in the Souris Valley Industries Show and Sale Arena as the champions were crowned at the Weyburn Agricultural Society’s Interclub 4-H Fed Calf Show.

Kyla Lees from the Arcola-Kisbey Beef 4-H Club exhibited the Grand Champion Fed Calf, and the Reserve Grand Champion Fed Calf was exhibited by Dawson Fladeland from the Radville Beef 4-H Club. The Best Homegrown Calf was Kate Webb from the Pangman-Ogema Beef 4-H Club.

Carter Stewart from the Weyburn Beef 4-H Club named Champion Cloverbud Fed Calf. The Reserve Champion Cloverbud Fed Calf was Linden Doud from the Radville Beef 4-H Club.

In the Interclub 4-H Market Lamb Show, the Grand Champion was Harper Wilgenbusch from

the Weyburn Sheep 4-H Club. Amy Fradette from the Pangman-Ogema Sheep 4-H Club had the Reserve Champion Market Lamb.

In the open Jackpot show, the Champion Breeding Heifer was exhibited by Ryder Fellner, and the Champion Jackpot steer was exhibited by Carter Stewart.

The Interclub 4-H Beef Female show started the day on Wednesday, and the awards presentations for all the winners of this year’s show were handed out in the afternoon, including the presentation of this year’s Breeder’s Herd Winner, before the Fed Calf 4-H Sale, with 118 fed calves up for bid, and eight market lambs.

The first day of competition at the Weyburn Agricultural Society’s Interclub 4-H Beef Show at the Weyburn Fair Days was on

Monday, and some of the highlights included the following: Cloverbud Showmanship Champion: Gideon Gustafson from the Cymri Beef 4-H Club. Junior Showmanship Champion: Presley Woitas from the Radville Beef 4-H Club Intermediate Showmanship Champion: Brayden Fladeland from the Radville Beef 4-H Club.

Senior Showmanship Champion: Kyla Lees from the Arcola-Kisbey Beef 4-H Club.

Junior Team Grooming Champion: Arcola-Kisbey Beef 4-H Club.

Intermediate Team Grooming Champion: Radville Beef 4-H Club.

Senior Team Grooming Champion: Arcola-Kisbey Beef 4-H Club.

Champion Sheep Showman was Harper Wilgenbusch from the Weyburn Sheep 4-H Club.

Weger and Paradis held a pre-launch of the name change at the recent Oilwomen’s Golf Tournament where they sponsored a refreshment hole, and the two lawyers jokingly com-

pared themselves in a leaflet to Harvey Specter and Mike Ross from the popular Netflix series “Suits”.

The official name change took effect on July 1, with new signage added

on the building at the corner of Souris Avenue and Fourth Street, and the firm will be participating in the Weyburn Summer Parade on July 4 to further advertise the updated name.

Weyburn lawyers Weger, Paradis update company name

NSWB Law Firm has a history in Weyburn dating back to 1967 when Stafford Nimegeers opened the law office as a sole practitioner. The firm expanded and took on the name Nimegeers Schuck Wormsbecker & Bobbitt in 1977.

This name was shortened down to NSWB Law Firm over the years and has existed as a recognizable law firm servicing clients throughout southeast Saskatchewan. In 2015, sole ownership of the firm was acquired by Mike Weger, and with the addition of Levi Paradis to the firm as an associate in 2022, the timing is now right to update the firm name to Weger Paradis Law Firm.

Levi Paradis was raised on a farm south of Bengough, and has been building a client base since joining the firm in 2021 and articling to Mike Weger.

“There is a lot of history behind the NSWB Law Firm name and part of the reason for not changing the name in 2015 was that I wanted to show my respect for the four lawyers that previously owned the firm, and especially for my mentors, Greg Bobbitt and Ron Wormsbecker, who both played a large part in shaping me into the lawyer that I am today,” said Weger, adding that since 2015, they have made a concerted effort to ramp up their support of community fundraisers and sports teams.

“We know that we have really established a recognizable name in the area as a local law firm that can be counted on to give back to the communities that we service. It is difficult to step away from the brand that I have maintained and expanded upon, but on the flip side, we want people

to recognize that this firm is evolving. We hope that when people see myself or Levi out in the community, it will also be easier for them to recall which firm we are associated with.”

AFTER ALL, IT IS JUST AN OPINION

Stephanie Zoer Freelance Reporter We all have had an opinion about something and what people need to realize is, no matter what, it is only an opinion, and it does not make it right or wrong.

Opinions are personal beliefs or judgments that are not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. They reflect an individual’s thoughts or feelings or interpretations.

There are many people who believe their opinion is right and that it is etched in stone, and no matter what, will not change their minds. They are right, you are wrong, and they will not listen to what others have to say. This is a personal opinion that is based on the individual’s experiences, tastes and feelings.

Sometimes, another person’s opinion can shine a light on the situation and people may view the circumstances differently.

There are informed opinions based on evidence, research or expertise in a particular field.

People are quick to state their opinions without knowing all the facts, so does this remain an opinion or does it become something else?

I am sure everyone has heard the saying, “I did not ask for your opinion.” This is a sure way to tell someone that you are not interested in what they have to say, and simply should keep their mouth shut about the topic.

What if this person has the facts and they actually know what they are talking about, does this mean you just do not want to hear the truth? There are times when someone may ask for an opinion, and you clearly do not want to give it, as your experience in the matter was not pleasant.

Is this because you feel you might offend the other person, or they are not prepared to hear what might come out of your mouth?

An opinion can be hurtful, so do you say it anyways, not caring if it does affect the other person?

I rarely ask my daughter about her opinion on how I am dressed or

whether she likes my outfit. First off, we do not have the same taste in clothes, at all. Secondly, am I prepared to hear what she has to say about it? She is brutally honest.

Nine out of 10 times, I do not like her answer, but I still value her opinion as this is how she sees it.

Valuing another person’s thoughts should be done without anger; you did ask for it.

People have a habit of saying, “What do you think about this?”

You just asked for their opinion.

A loaded question is asking someone how they feel about another person. We do not perceive all people the same, and the person that was asked may not like the other person at all, and their opinion is not going to be particularly good.

Ask another person the same question, and they might think a certain person is great, and give you a different opinion on the same individual.

Although it is their opinion, it could be regarded as gossip, and some will take it this way even if it

Tips on how to maintain your sobriety

By Stan Popovich Do you or someone you know struggle with staying sober on a daily basis?

If so, it can be really challenging to remain sober while dealing with other issues in your life. As a result, here are five ways on how to maintain your sobriety and remain alcohol free.

1. Learn how to stay sober: Your best bet is to learn the techniques that will help you to remain sober. It is important to be aware of what you should and should not do when trying to maintain your sobriety. Talk to other addicts to see what they do to avoid alcohol.

2. Take part in a support group: Join a local support group to meet other people who are in your situation. Get to know the other members of the group and try to learn new ways in dealing with your mental health issues. Many people will be willing to help you if you ask for some assistance.

3. Work with a professional: Find a person that you can work with who will help you to stay sober. You can find someone at your local treatment facility or you can talk to your doctor for more information. You can also talk to an addiction counselor to see if they know of anyone who can help you.

4. Learn to take it one day at a time: Instead of worrying about how you will get

through the rest of the week or coming month, try to focus on today. Each day can provide us with different opportunities to learn new things and that includes learning how to deal with your problems. Focus on the present and do not think about what may happen next week.

In addition, learn how to manage your fearful thoughts. When experiencing a negative thought, read some positive statements and affirmations that will help lift your spirits and make you feel better. Remember that your fearful thoughts may be exaggerated so balance these thoughts with realistic thinking and common sense.

5. Don’t give in to peer pressure: Do not let your friends and relatives pressure you into drinking alcohol. Politely say that you do want to drink and stay firm in making your decision. Don’t let others pressure you into drinking when you are trying to remain sober.

Instead of relying on your friends and other people in your life, try to rely on God to help get you through. Be persistent and be open in the avenues that God may provide to you in solving your problems. It is not always easy, however God is in control and he will help you as long as you make an effort.

was not intended to be this way.

Opinions are not always vocal.

They can be expressed in many ways, through written articles, social media and artistic creations.

Respectful and well-reasoned expressions tend to foster constructive dialogue, while aggressive or disrespectful expressions can lead to conflict and misunderstanding.

Critical thinking is essential for evaluating opinions. This involves considering the source, evidence and logic behind an opinion. Openmindedness and a willingness to engage for a healthy exchange of ideas are important.

While opinions play a vital role in personal and societal dynamics, they can enrich conversations and drive progress. They also require careful consideration and respectful exchange to avoid division and promote understanding.

So, the next time you ask for an opinion, are you really ready to hear what others have to say?

After all, it is just an opinion.

All watercrafts to be inspected for aquatic invasive species

Boating season is here again. While everyone’s anxious to get to the lake, it’s important to stop at all provincial watercraft inspection stations you encounter while traveling and do your part to keep Saskatchewan free of aquatic invasive species (AIS). And remember: Non-motorized equipment such as kayaks, canoes and paddleboards are also

considered watercraft and must be inspected.

Even if you’re just passing through the province, or were already inspected in another province or state, you are required to stop at all inspection stations you encounter. Saskatchewan co-ordinates its inspection efforts with neighbouring provinces, states and the Canada Border Services Agency.

When crossing provincial and international borders, look for inspection stations along highways and near waterbodies from early May to late October.

Whether you’re returning home from out of province, coming to visit or moving between waters within Saskatchewan, make sure to follow the clean, drain, dry guidelines for your watercraft

Saskatchewan impaired driving deaths highest in July

It’s a cruel fact about summer: as the temperatures rise, so do the number of deaths from crashes involving impaired drivers in Saskatchewan.

Over the last five years, an average of seven people were killed and 39 people were injured from impaired driving collisions in the month of July.

That’s something SGI wants to change.

“There are so many cool experiences to enjoy in Saskatchewan during the summer: the lakes, the

beaches, camping, golfing, music festivals, football, baseball, barbecues, weddings, or just spending time with good friends on a patio,” said JP Cullen, Chief Operating Officer of the Auto Fund. “We don’t want anyone to miss a single second of all that summer in Saskatchewan has to offer because they got arrested, suspended, or hurt from driving impaired.”

If your summer plans involve anything that impairs you, remember that you have options:

Selecting the right rub-on tattoo

• Designate a sober driver in your group (or volunteer to DD).

• Call or text a sober friend or family member to come get you.

• Take a taxi, bus, rideshare or designated driving service.

• Stay the night.

Impaired driving is 100 per cent preventable, and taking a minute to decide how you and your friends are going to get home safely can ensure that the good times continue all summer long.

and all related equipment.

To keep your watercraft free of invasive species and make the inspection go quickly, remember to: • Clean: remove plants, animals and mud from trailers, hulls, motors and fishing equipment.

• Drain: drain all water (including bilges and livewells).

• Dry: allow all equipment to dry completely, ideally five days before travel, while leaving compartments open to dry.

• Pull the plug: leave

plugs out during transport and tilt watercraft when stored to allow the bilge to drain. It is mandatory to remove all watercraft drain plugs while in transit.

If you buy an out-ofprovince watercraft in the fall after inspection stations are closed, contact the Ministry of Environment at 1-800-567-4224 to coordinate an inspection.

Dry docking the watercraft will help reduce the likelihood of survival for many species of AIS.

It is important to remember that possessing prohibited species such as zebra or quagga mussels is a violation of Saskatchewan’s fisheries regulations, even if the organisms attached to your boat are dead.

So far, AIS such as zebra and quagga mussels have not been detected in our province’s waters and we’re working hard to keep it that way. Do your part to protect our waters and prevent the spread of AIS.

Business Opportunities

Explore your region: road-tested tips for a trip to remember

Driving kilometres between oneself and home is a largely recreational pursuit. Road trips can be enjoyable ways to get close-up views of notable sights. When planned correctly, road trips can be affordable vacation options.

Establish a road trip budget Even if a road trip is a frugal way to travel, it’s important to set a budget for how much you’ll be spending on the road and at various points of interest. A budget can help you decide how far you can go and which types of accommodations to seek.

Schedule a vehicle maintenance appointment Be sure to schedule a pre-trip appointment at the service center to give your vehicle a once-over. Change the oil if necessary, have fluids topped off, check the cooling or heating system, and get the tires inspected/rotated.

Also, build a road trip toolkit in case of any emergencies or breakdowns.

Take frequent breaks Even if you think you don’t need to, pull off at a rest stop to walk around, stretch and use the restroom. If the next rest stop is far away, you won’t be uncomfortable waiting to reach it. Various smartphone apps list what’s available at each highway exit as well as rest stops nearby to help you plan accordingly.

Be smart about food and drink If you have to stop for a meal, visit a grocery store instead of restaurants and fast food, as they offer healthier, less expensive options. Supermarkets also have restrooms and seating areas. If you’re bringing along food, pack a cooler with frozen water bottles that can keep the food cold. As the water bottles melt, you will have access to drinks without having to compromise on cargo room.

Establish a special road trip treat Plan something that you only enjoy on road trips. This can be an expensive package of chocolates, or dining out at a restaurant chain you don’t have closer to home. It can enhance the anticipation and enjoyment of the long ride.

Download favorite songs, podcasts and more Downloading ensures access to the songs and additional entertainment you desire without having to worry if a cellular connection is spotty. Take turns alternating between tunes, audiobooks, movies, and even stand up comedy specials to help pass the time. Also, bring paper maps as backups to GPS systems.

Road trips are enjoyable options for family or individual travel. Certain tips can make the ride go smoothly.

Free fishing weekend set for July 13-14 in Saskatchewan

Free Methodist minister officially ordained

Bishop Linda Adams of the Free Methodist Church of Canada, left, presided over the ordination of Rev. Jody Pfeifer on Saturday at the Weyburn Free Methodist Church, shown here with husband Jeff. A special reception was held afterwards.

Saskatchewan’s summer Free Fishing Weekend is back on July 13-14, and it’s the perfect time for Saskatchewan residents and visitors alike to drop a line and give angling a try, no license required.

“Saskatchewan is known for its world-class sportfishing,” Environment Minister Christine Tell said. “Free Fishing Weekend is a great time for those new to angling to join the fun and discover what our province has to offer.”

During the weekend, anglers can fish without a license on any public waters open to sport fishing.

Important things to

remember: Free Fishing Weekend does not apply in national parks, anyone planning on taking fish out of the province must purchase a license, and all other fishing regulations, including limits, still apply. For more information, visit: www.saskatchewan.ca/fishing.

Free Fishing Weekend began in the summer of 1989 to increase public awareness about the diverse angling opportunities in the province. A winter Free Fishing Weekend was added in 2015.

More than 250,000 people sport fish in Saskatchewan each year.

A safety course is a good idea for any new rider or an experienced rider who wants to refresh their skills.

There are ATV instructors all over Saskatchewan.

When choosing your helmet, it’s important to ensure it fits properly. One that doesn’t fit isn’t going to provide the protection you need when out on the trails. It needs to fit snugly on your head, and not shift about when you move your head up and down or side to side. You shouldn’t be able to squeeze a finger between the helmet and your forehead without trouble. When you wiggle the helmet with your hands, you should

wiggle your cheeks as well.

It’s always a good idea to try on several different sizes to get the best fit. And unlike protective clothing, there’s no gender-specific fitting needs. The most important thing is that it fits right, whether for an adult, a youth or a child.

If you ever are in an accident and your helmet gets impacted, it should be replaced, even if there are no visible signs of damage.

While there are various types of helmets available for ATVers, the best option is one with a full-face helmet. Off-road or motocross helmets offer the greatest amount of protection to the face, with increased protection for the mouth and chin.

Safety Tips: wear a helmet while driving ATVs in Saskatchewan

Using a helmet is using your head, at least when it comes to ATV safety.

“Protecting your head is one of the most important things you can do to help ensure a great ATV experience,” said John Meed, General Manager of the Saskatchewan All Terrain Vehicle Association (SATVA). “Wearing a helmet will help prevent a brain injury in the event of an accident, and may even

save your life.”

Helmets are proven to reduce the risk of serious injury and death, as any impact is absorbed by the helmet, and not your head or brain. ATV rollovers where riders were not wearing a helmet have been particularly dangerous, according to Statistics Canada data.

A helmet not only helps to prevent serious injury, but it also shields your head from gravel, dirt, and other

material flung up by the tires of riders ahead of you on the trail, or even your own tires.

All ATV riders - including passengers - are required to wear a helmet, and also goggles if the helmet doesn’t have a face shield, on public property or on property that the rider does not own. This includes side by sides. ATVs are designed for off-road use on uneven terrain, such as dirt,

mud, grass or gravel. Fourwheelers and tracked ATVs, mini-bikes, all-terrain cycles and dirt bikes are all examples of ATVs. To drive an ATV on public land in Saskatchewan, riders must also be at least 16 years old and hold a valid driver’s licence.

Anyone without a licence must be at least 12 years old and must have passed an approved ATV training course, and be accompan-
