Spencer and Jack spend time with Santa, while at the Festival of Trees on November 25. The gala evening for the annual fundraiser for the Family Place was held Wednesday.

The Weyburn Rotary Club will host this year’s Carol Festival, with a variety of performances for listeners with performances at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Organizers encourage people to arrive early to hear the Christmas prelude performed by Colleen Weimer and Gail Murray. A slideshow will include memories from past festivals.

“We look forward to hearing groups who have previously performed, such as the Grace United Church groups, school choirs and Variations. These groups are the backbone of our festival with their dedicated annual performances. It is always wonderful to hear their uplifting music and see their enthusiastic performances,” said festival chair Heather Sidloski.

“We are excited this year

to welcome Richard Beach who will start the afternoon performance. Richard has sang and played guitar for many years in Weyburn and we look forward to hearing his country style carols.”

The club is looking forward to hearing from the Mahnke family this year as well. They are a very musical family who have been involved in music for a number of years. Sheri has taught singing and piano, Tori and Keira have many years of vocal training, and all of them were recently part of the WCS musical.

“We are fortunate to have a number of church choirs this year. We are delighted to have the Weyburn Free Methodist choir perform.

This is an adult and children’s choir conducted by June Fletcher. We also welcome the St. Vincent de Paul

Youth choir, and another new addition to our festival is the Christian Mennonite Church of Yellow Grass.

This group of young people have performed at senior centres and their beautiful harmonies are a delight.”

Another returning group is Prairie Tunes, who in addition to their carols, will sing some songs in the Malayalam language.

“The Rotary Club thanks all of the conductors and accompanists for the many hours of rehearsal that have gone into preparing for this year’s Carol Festival. We can’t wait to hear all the beautiful carols and songs of the season. For many of us, the Carol Festival marks the beginning of the Christmas season in Weyburn and with the snow that we’ve received, ‘It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.’.”

Wood carvers share passion at Rotary social evening

By Greg Nikkel, SaskToday.ca Several members of the Weyburn Wood Carvers club gathered with the Weyburn Rotary Club to share how and why they became carvers, and to share examples of their work.

The social evening was held on Thursday evening at the Weyburn Legion, with a

few of the carvers also members of Rotary, including Gary Anderson, who led off the discussions.

He noted the club started about 10 years ago with a few members, and the Weyburn Public Library offered them a space to meet and to carve once a week, free of charge.

The club has grown to about 17 members now, and

a good number of them were on hand for the evening with Rotary. The tables were set up across the front of the room, displaying works of carving that each of the members has done.

Anderson noted he started carving when they lived in Regina, and they would go camping with their kids and he would do a lot of carving

of things like walking sticks and boats. After moving to Weyburn, he took a class from Ken Hill, who was a power carver, to make an eagle’s head.

As their kids left home and he retired, the Andersons travelled to Texas for the winter, and he did some carving there, starting with making a walking stick for his wife, Lois.

Over the years, he’s given away a lot of his carvings, as children and then grandchildren made requests of him.

As an example, he showed a pink llama he did for a granddaughter – then she asked for one of each of her 10 friends for a birthday party.

“I enjoy carving, doing diamond willow walking sticks and a few hundred comfort birds. I have a daughter in Bragg Creek who loves giving away comfort birds. I couldn’t have found a more rewarding hobby than carving,” he said.

Club member Maureen Clay explained she went to a knitting group at the library, “and after two weeks the knitters suggested that I shouldn’t come back,” adding she then went to the carving club, and Alex Miles showed her how to make a comfort bird.

“That was the start, approximately 10 years ago,”

she said, noting her favourite item to carve is a Celtic knife, which has an endless knot in the handle. “They’re really fun to carve.”

Sandy Wright was the next member, who noted about four years ago he received a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease, and the doctor recommended activities that would occupy him, such as being a drummer (which he has done for many years now), and the carving club which he heard about at the library.

“I need quite a bit help, and I have no hesitation to go to anybody in this club, and they are more than happy to help me out,” he said. “We have good times and talk to each other all the time. We’re just really happy to meet in this club.”

Member Jim Linnell noted he started carving about 11 or 12 years ago, including being in Ken Hill’s carving class.

He’s learned about the characteristics of different types of wood, and he encouraged anyone who has an interest to learn about carving to come out.

“You meet the nicest people when we go to a carving show. They’ll sit down with you and show you stroke by stroke what to do,” he said.

Member Bill Claffey

started about five years ago, after Maureen Clay invited him to come by and check them out. He noted that for beginners, basswood is a nice wood to work with as it’s soft. Other woods he likes are cherry wood and butternut wood, as he showed some of the kitchen utensils he’s made from these woods.

What he loves about carving is “it teaches you how to solve problems and use your imagination, and it’s been a very very nice hobby for me.”

One of the newer members was Dora Ho and her daughter Milly, who’s 11 and is the youngest member of the club.

“We joined because we had done some soap carving at the library, and we met Gary,” she said, noting she home-schools Milly, which gave them the flexibility in their schedule to come to the carving meetings on Wednesdays at the library.

“Everyone’s so helpful and kind,” she said.

Duane Schultz noted that he is blind, and was encouraged to try carving by members Grant Paulson and Gary Anderson. In years past, he used to make things from wood, such as furniture, and he’s found he can make comfort birds by feeling by touch where he needs to carve the shape.

Submitted by Pastor Cherian Poonnoose Lighthouse Church Dear reader, the term Maranatha is an aramaic phrase that means “ Come O Lord” . It is made up of the noun mara’ (Lord, Master) and the urgent sense of the verb ‘atah (to come). It appears once in the New Testament of the Bible, in 1 Corinthians 16:22.

The classic hymn “O come, O come, Emmanuel” is connected to the above title and has its origins over 1200 years ago in the 8th or 9th century. The lyrics of this hymn look back, crying out for a rescuer to come and save Israel who “mourns in lonely exile here”.Before

Jesus first coming the Jewish people were waiting and longing for someone to come and rescue them from their captivity.

At Christmas, we sing with joy because Christ, also called Immanuel or “God with us” came as a baby in fulfillment of biblical old testament prophecies.But the song continues to ask Jesus to “come” because we still wait . Now we long for His second coming, when He will rescue us from the struggles of this world.

Dear friends, as we observe many biblical prophecies that have already been fulfilled, we are in fact closer to the coming of the Lord Jesus, compared to His first coming.

The Bible warns us that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming?

For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation”. Peter the apostle responds saying - Do not forget this one thing that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack, concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that we should perish

but that all should come to repentance.

Reader, as we look forward to Christmas, let us also look forward in future, to the Rapture - the catching away to heaven of those, dead or living, who have trusted in Christ and await His return. The apostle Paul writing to the Thessalonica Church says - For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with a voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air . And this we shall always be with the Lord.

I am reminded of one of the stanzas of one of my favorite hymn : Sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer!

May I thy consolation share, Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height, I view my home and take my flight.

This robe of flesh I’ll drop, and rise to seize the everlasting prize, And shout, while passing through the air, “Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”

God bless you dear Reader and may God help you to say ‘Maranatha’- Come Lord Jesus!

REIGNITING MY PASSION FOR WRITING

Sabrina Kraft skraft@glaciermedia.ca I have always had a passion for writing.

Those who attended high school with me might remember that I carried around an extra spiral notebook with me, so I could write down ideas for stories and poems when they came to me (even during class).

In fact, my very first submission for the Weyburn Review was published 30 years ago.

Back then, the paper held a short story contest during Christmas time, and I earned an honourable mention for ‘A Change for Christmas’. The story was about a poor homeless girl, who is guided to a large mansion by a mysterious elderly woman, to be a friend for her grandson.

Upon entry into the mansion, it is her presence that helps the grandson speak for the first time. Of course, the magical twist, after the grandson gives a gift to the young heroine (who I named Bree, as that was my preferred nickname at the time), she learns that the grandmother had died long ago!

It is very surreal reading work that I had written 30 years ago. I feel the same way whenever I pick up on of those spiral notebooks from my high school years (yes, I still do have them) and re-read my musings.

As a typical ‘the world sucks and no one loves me’ teen, I had a lot of angsty poems. It was also during that time that I created a fictional world, and started writing small novelettes about some

characters that were inspired by people in my life.

I had once thought of sharing it with the world, of getting those novelettes published. I had wanted to be the kind of writer like Piers Anthony or Terry Brooks (especially since I owned several copies from the Xanth and the Shannara series).

My writing eyes are a lot more critical now, as I look back on the writing. Even when I found the ‘A Change for Christmas’ short story in the Review archives, my eyes catch several little mistakes and a few plot holes.

The thing that I remember the most is the fountain of creativity that I seemed to have when I was a teenager. Now, older and wiser, I tend to forget leaving my fork in the kitchen, and worry too much about debts and bills. It seems that my creativity has slowly faded over time, and it would take a lot of energy and effort to rediscover it.

There are a few strategies one can use to reignite their passion. The first is to reflect on your journey, and to reminisce about the initial reasons why your passion brought you excitement. Reflect on the challenges you have overcome, and the joy of achieving success brought you. Understanding the roots of your passion can help you reconnect with the emotions that fueled it in the first place.

Sometimes, a loss of passion can be attributed to specific blockers or obstacles. While you are reflecting on your journey, take time to identify

Tips on how to maintain 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 six 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 ad-

dictions 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 not 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.

what has dampened your enthusiasm. It could be burnout, external pressures, or a shift in priorities. By pinpointing the barriers, you can develop targeted solutions to overcome them.

I experienced a combination of feeling burned out and feeling like nobody was interested in my content anymore. I definitely appreciate hearing from my loyal readers how much they enjoy my columns, and welcome any input on topics to tackle.

Returning back to a routine can also be important. Sometimes one has to break down their overall objective into smaller, more manageable goals. It is important to set realistic and achievable objectives that can make the journey less overwhelming and more enjoyable.

Also celebrate the small victories along the way, as they contribute to a sense of accomplishment and motivation.

For those creative people, one could visualize your dreams and goals by crafting a vision board.

Taking the time to find images, quotes, and affirmations that resonate with your desires and aspirations can help inspire you to return to what you love. It can also be helpful to place your vision board in a prominent place where it will will serve as a daily reminder of what motivates you.

There are times in our lives when we need to take a break on our passions, and then we can return to a healthier mind set with renewed energy. Until then, keep positive Weyburn!

All registrants must be registered with a local minor hockey association.

day, January 31.

Hockey Day in Yellow Grass A special Hockey Day in Yellow Grass will be hosted on Saturday, December 14 to help support the Yellow Grass Communiplex and Yellow Grass Minor Hockey.

Recently, the Communiplex underwent some extensive and necessary repairs and renovations, and this event is a way to support the local rink.

The day starts with a pancake breakfast. There will be minor hockey games throughout the day, in addition a special steak supper and a Senior Wheat Kings game against the Radville Nats.

More information is available on the Yellow Grass Minor Hockey facebook page.

Rinks closed temporarily The City of Weyburn has temporarily closed Crescent Point Place and Tom Zandee Sports Arena following the discovery of a minor ammonia leak from the arena’s ice plant chiller. The chiller, installed during the 2023/24 season, is currently out of operation, leaving the ice plant non-functional.

City staff are collaborating with refrigeration contractors to locate the source of the leak and determine a repair timeline while adhering to strict safety measures.

The City of Weyburn will provide updates on the status of the repairs and facility reopening as more details are confirmed.
