Belle Plaine to perform at T.C. Douglas Centre on February 4 After a year of adventure across the continent, Belle Plaine is returning to the Prairies, and will be performing at
the Tommy Douglas Centre on Februar y 4. Weyburn will be one of 11 stops the performer will make during her 5th
Annual Prairie Winter Tour, which runs January 22 to February 7. This will mark Plaine's firstever stop in Weyburn.
Remarking on her choice to maintain the chilly tradition of touring Saskatchewan in January, Plaine said "It's a stubborn
gether with music, but on a personal note, I revel in the knowledge that it guides us through winter's dangerous beauty. I don't think I'm alone in that appreciation." The evening of musical entertainment will start at 7:30 p.m. and see local talent, Jeff Moser, as the opening act. Musical talents, Jeremy Sauer and Elizabeth Curry will join Plaine on the stage. Sauer plays the banjo, accordion and keys, while Curry plays her part in the trio with the upright bass and backing vocals. Audiences will have the rare opportunity to see the trio perform after three weeks of creative collaboration spent together, with the specific goal of sculpting a new stage show for this Prairie Winter tour. Fans will be treated to new songs and increased diversification of instruments. Advance tickets for the show are available at Pharmasave and Superior Office Products.

Delay of MMRP disappointing I was disappointed to learn of the delay of the Multi-Material Recycling Program (MMRP) launch set to begin on January 1, 2015. This longawaited program is a critically important environmental accomplishment created through cooperation between provincial and municipal governments, and industry. To delay it risks losing it. The goal of the MMRP is simple. This new province-wide
recycling program will strengthen residential recycling and reduce the amount of waste - either by recycling or reduction - clogging Saskatchewan landfills. We are all familiar with bringing home a recently purchased item wrapped in a large amount of cardboard and plastic and seeing flyers overfilling mailboxes. Much or all of this waste ends up in landfills as communities struggle to find money for recycling programs,
juggling it against other municipal services and operations. Saskatchewan is littered with a patchwork of programs and growing, spreading landfills. Everyone involved realized this was not good enough. The province, municipalities, and industry all came to the table to find a way forward. Finally, after many years of hard work, recycling regulations were enacted in 2013 and an MMRP plan was approved.
Under the MMRP, businesses take ownership of the waste packaging and paper they bring into our communities by being financially responsible for their waste. If they cut down their waste, their responsibility decreases. Communities can apply to receive this funding for running an efficient and effective residential recycling program. Residential recycling catches more recyclable material and helps us achieve our goal of cutting the flow of waste into our landfills by 40 per cent. Saskatchewan communities recognized this benefit immediately; 314 urban and rural municipalities representing 68 per cent of Saskatchewan's population signed up to take part. They know the financial, health, and environmental costs of landfills too well. Delaying the MMRP puts it at risk. If the delay is too long, municipalities will have to decide whether to increase taxes and fees to start or continue running their programs or be forced to simply abandon them. We need an MMRP. We need to finish what we started - before it's too late. Sincerely, Debra Button SUMA President
Laboratory hours to change at Bengough & Pangman Health Centres in February Sun Country Health Region (SCHR) has announced changes to laboratory and x-ray hours at the Bengough and Pangman Health Centres. Effective Wednesday, February 4, 2015, these two departments will have revised hours of operation. The new hours for the lab and x-ray department at Bengough Health Centre will be Monday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.; Tuesday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Services at Pangman Health Centre will resume after being unavailable for some time. As of February 4, the lab will be open every Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. These changes were made to align staffing to workload demands in these two centres, as well as in Radville Marian Health Centre where the workload has increased over the past year. To provide the services effectively in all the communities, the technologist from Bengough will work in Radville in Wednesdays. Sun Country Health Region CEO Marga Cugnet says these changes should address access to laboratory services in all three communities. "The changes will help ensure that a safe, efficient and high quality lab/x-ray service is available for all residents in all three communities."
Lawrence re-appointed to Housing Authority John Lawrence has been reappointed Chairperson to the Weyburn Housing Authority Board of Directors. Other members of the board of directors are Don Shumlich, Myron Fletcher, Peggy York, Shelley Hoium, Rochelle Wendt and Douglas Dreis. The Weyburn Housing Authority is a community-based organization that provides daily management of 317 housing units constructed and operated under the terms of a federal provincial municipal cost sharing agreement.

"This local hands-on approach ensures that the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation responds effectively to the needs of each community." Saskatchewan has a network of 260 housing authorities and more than 1,400 volunteer members who assist with management of housing units throughout the province for seniors, low income families and persons with disabilities. Persons interested in volunteering to serve on the board of directors for the Weyburn Housing Authority are encouraged to contact the mayor of Weyburn. A local nominating committee recommends board members. Applications for accommodation are available from the manager of the Weyburn Housing Authority.

Weyburn Police deal with impaired drivers and fraud On January 24, the Weyburn Police Service received a report that a vehicle had been involved in a collision and the driver had left the scene. An investigation revealed that a 23 year-old male had been driving when he lost control of the vehicle leaving the roadway and damaging a light standard. The driver has been issued two traffic tickets. Alcohol was a contributing factor. Also on January 24, The Weyburn PS were contacted by a complainant regarding a rental scam. Investigation has shown that an on-line ad was posted offering a local residence as a rental property. The person posting the ad had no connection to the property and had no authority to offer it for rent. The ad was removed but was
shortly reinstated by the original person having posted it. This type of situation is virtually impossible to control. To use an old adage - the best defense is a good offence. If you are looking at any type of on-line purchase you must exercise due-diligence. On January 23, the Weyburn PS responded to a report that a male person under conditions to not contact his estranged wife was violating those conditions at a local business. Upon attending and speaking to the victim, it was determined that no offence had taken place. Also on January 23, at about 6:30 p.m., the Weyburn PS received a report from a citizen that they had a suspected impaired
driver detained at a downtown business. Upon police arrival, the citizen provided information enabling the police to initiate an investigation for impaired driving. A 53 year-old male was taken in to custody at the scene and is facing charges of impaired driving and refusing a breath test. The accused is currently before the courts facing an earlier impaired driving matter. While the Weyburn PS are grateful for the assistance from the citizen in identifying and holding the accused we urge extreme caution in taking direct involvement in these types or any offences. On January 22, the Weyburn PS were called regarding a 14 year-old female being in emotional distress. After investigation, it was
learned that the initial report had been exaggerated to some degree. Police were able to successfully mediate the matter. Also on January 22, the Weyburn PS were contacted regarding a credit card fraud. The victim had noted some suspect charges on their company credit card. The victim contacted the credit card company who reversed the charges. The matter is under investigation. Further on January 22, the Weyburn PS received a report that a 78 year-old male person had been kidnapped. A significant initial investigation into the whereabouts of the victim led them to a local health care facility where the victim was located. At this time, the matter was determined to not require
further police involvement. On January 20, the Weyburn PS received a call from a local pub requesting assistance with unruly patrons. Investigation revealed that after some rude comments were made towards one of the patrons, tempers flared and an altercation ensued ending prior to police arrival. A 25 year-old

Enhanced dental service for Health Region Sun Country Health Region (SCHR) has purchased a new digital dental x-ray unit for the operating room at Weyburn General Hospital. The unit will make it possible for dentists to take dental x-rays on patients who require dental surgery while under anesthetic. The digital unit sends the x-ray images instantly to a computer
screen where the dentist can view the images and determine if further dental work is required or whether the surgery is complete. While the unit will be used mainly for children, it can be used for adult patients as well. SCHR CEO Marga Cugnet says this added service will provide a higher level of care to the patients requir-
ing dental surgery in the Region and help to eliminate the need for repeat surgery. Weyburn dentist Chad Fletcher says the new x-ray equipment is especially useful for surgery on children. There are several benefits, he says. "Sometimes it's difficult to get x-rays of younger children in an office setting. When they are anaesthetized
in an operating room, it's easier. And the x-ray result comes up immediately on the screen. We see a lot of decay that we otherwise might not see." "Another benefit is that the radiation dosage is far less for the patient this way, about one-tenth of what a traditional x-ray provides," he says.
Wor-Kin Shop now offers sweet deals The Weyburn Wor-Kin Shop Corp. is pleased to announce that they have purchased the Harvest Pie Company - an established local business with a successful history of marketing frozen pies, fillings and fruit spreads throughout Saskatchewan. The company produces 8" frozen pies in four flavours - Saskatoon, Wild Blueberry, Rhubarb and Apple, as well as 250 ml fruit spreads in Saskatoon, Wild Blueberry, Strawberry/Rhubarb and Apple Chutney flavours. The purchase was made possible through the support of Community Futures Sunrise and their Entrepreneurs with Disabilities program. "Community Futures Sunrise provides loans, advice and support to the business community in the southeast SK region. We were very pleased to work with the Weyburn Wor-Kin Shop and provide loan funds to assist with the purchase of the Harvest Pie Company. It was a great project to be in-
volved with, and a perfect fit for our Entrepreneurs with Disabilities loan funds," comments Vema O'Neill, General Manager of Community Futures Sunrise. "We look forward to Harvest Pie Company continuing to produce and sell those tasty pies and fruit products!" “We were delighted to be able to partner with our local Community Futures office to expand employment opportunities for the indi-
viduals with intellectual disabilities that we support," stated Andria Brady, Executive Director. "Our mandate has always been to empower individuals by meeting their needs for employment, community participation and inclusion. This new opportunity will provide an innovative and rewarding approach in generating revenue to retum directly to the individuals doing the work. " Harvest Pie Company
products can be found at several locations in Weyburn and throughout the province. The business is operating from a temporary location currently and will be moving to the new Day Program Building at 1800 Ebel Road once construction is complete later this spring. For more information please call 306-861-3496, email har vestpie@workin.com or follow Harvest Pie Company on Facebook.

By Andrea Corrigan I recently read an article in People magazine that encouraged some of our favorite stars to reveal what life T H lessons they wish they'd known when they were just start- A T’ ing out. What advice would they give their younger self. S As I read through them, one in particular caught my eye. It was from the U.S. First Lady, Michelle Obama. UJ She said, "If I could give my younger self just one piece S of advice, it would be this. Stop being so afraid! That's T what really strikes me when I look back - the sheer M amount of time I spent tangled up in fears and doubts E that were entirely of my own creation. I was afraid of not knowing the answer in class and looking stupid, or worried about what some boy thought of me, or wondering whether the other girls liked my clothes or my hair, or angsting about some offhand comment someone made to me in the lunchroom. I would love to go back in time and tell my younger self, 'Michelle, these middle and high school years are just a tiny blip in your life." She went on to say, "Walk away from 'friendships' that make you feel small and insecure." Now, that's some great advice. It made me further investigate if this attitude or sense of strength in life was an age thing or an intellect thing. Since the First Lady is a lawyer and writer, (and I'm neither), I figure it has to be an age thing as we're 'approximately' in the same age bracket. When I was in my late twenties, thirties and forties, my time was taken up with raising my children. I went about my day-to-day activities ensuring that my children would grow up to be functioning adults. After all, that's our job as parents, right? It was not until I was thrown into the situation of losing both my parents within a short time, that I really stepped back and "smelled the roses" as the saying goes. Unlike Mrs. Obama, my advice to my younger self would not be to "stop being so afraid." Without a doubt, my advice would be to live every day to its fullest. I've heard this saying a billion times, but not until recently have I truly understood what it really means. I've become very aware of the quantity of time I have been given. I have begun to make conscious decisions on how I spend my time because as you know, once it's spent you can't get it back. I once heard that we are here to make memories for our children. I haven't quite bought into that saying yet, but I certainly am more aware of the importance of how I will spend my time. I find myself weighing the importance of anything related to time. I'm trying to avoid doing things that just a short time ago I felt I had to. The preciousness of this unforeseen 'tick tock' is ever present. I refuse to spend my time trying to make others happy. I refuse to spend my time doing things that I don't want to do. I refuse to spend my time reading toxic Facebook posts. I refuse to spend my time with people who don't appreciate me. I refuse to allow people to take my time and frivolously use it. I do things like sit in my vehicle and listen to the rest of a song from the 70's that has me rocking to the tune at 7:00 in the morning. The girls at the gym think I'm always running late, but what they don't know is that I've been up since 5:30 or 6:00 a.m. and I'm sitting in my vehicle enjoying a song that I ACTUALLY know the words to. At that moment, I don't care if I'm late working out. I pay to work my butt off, so if I'm sitting in my vehicle singing ‘Knock Three Times’ at the top of my lungs, well then, that is what I choose to do with MY time. I know that people of my generation totally understand what I'm talking about and if you don't - you will - very soon. My parents always said "someday, you'll understand" and man 'o' man, I'm totally 'getting' it more and more each day. I spent 2014 writing a Pet Peeve each month. This year, I've decided to change it around and recognize a saying that I appreciate in my life. "The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing that you will make one." - Elbert Hubbard
Walk as children of light By Linda Wegner As a teen I recall my favourite high school subject was English. Science vied for second place. (When it came to last place, Math and Physical Education were evenly tied. No questions asked, today or back then.) As strange or trivial as it may seem, one particular science lesson still stands out in my mind. The topic of discussion was the relationship of light and darkness. True to my first love of English and its relative, Writing, I was intrigued by the interaction of those two qualities and I'd already decided I'd compose a poem or at least write a paragraph about such a simple yet, possibly, profound topic. It took only a matter of minutes to discover that though the definition of these two qualities appeared to be simple, their interaction was incredibly complex. I still have not forgotten either the anticipation or the letdown I felt when my teacher defined darkness. "The absence of light," he said. "Darkness is the absence of light." Surely it had to be harder than that! Now the definition of light took on new meaning. Light illuminates. Light reveals. Light dispels darkness. There wouldn't even be colour if light didn't exist. In this second of three exhortations regarding the Christian's walk, the Apostle Paul instructs, "Walk as children of light." What makes the topic so meaningful is the scope of things light reveals: hidden things, secret things, good things and bad things. Over the years, however, my understanding of the power of light to dispel its antithesis has deepened. How wonderful to know that because of Christ's redemptive work, His light reveals more than we can imagine. Where we see condemnation and accusation, He sees us as righteous. Where we see failure, He illuminates it with grace and promise. "Walk in the light as He is in the light!"

Christian Unity: How blessed we have been for the majority of January with above seasonal weather for a long stretch! Okay! We could have done without the ice, I grant you that. One thing about the ice, it keeps one on their toes, less another part of the anatomy collides with it - I know of what I speak from experience. Ouch! This past Sunday afternoon we observed the conclusion of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity (which runs generally from January 18 - 25 every year) here with an ecumenical service with a number of churches and their ministers or representatives involved with some 80 people present. The appointed theme was based on Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well with His statement to her: "Give me a drink." Don't we all thirst and long for the life-giving waters of Christ's presence and life to strengthen us for the challenges and the opportunities for service to others, whether in our families, our community, and in the world at large? If only, we were filled with the life of Christ, then we could provide more outreach to those in need, and to do so in the spirit of enthusiasm and joy. How much the Holy Spirit desires to spill over the abundant generosity of His gifts into our lives, so that they might have a ripple effect into our society. From their reading of the spirit of cooperation and sharing with each other in the early Christian church described in the Acts of the Apostles, many people might have assumed that the above reference about how they love each other must have originated somewhere in the Acts of the Apostles. While there are many examples of the spirit of unity and charity that prevail in the early Church, this reference comes from one of the early writers in the Church by the name of Tertullian (160 - 220 A.D.) from Carthage in North Africa. At the crossroads of our present times, we should strive to recapture the elements from which this statement was made about the early Christians, both within our individual churches, but also among various churches. There is much good will and cooperation to celebrate and to give thanks to God, but also to pray constantly that such might grow and strengthen along the way. We all need to become much more engaged disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, following His example and teachings in the whole of our lives. Might the love that inspired Christ to lay down His life for the redemption of the world be the model of our own love. Fr. Gerry Bauche, St. Vincent de Paul Parish

Beautiful prairie sky
A pie in the eye
Assiniboia Park School students (top) Coady Fellinger and (bottom) Naysa Chessall give a ‘pie in the eye’ to teachers Kevin Butz and Tammy Manning at the school winter carnival held January 26.
Sharla McKechnie, a stay at home mom of two, has found her passion in photography. Sharla drives to a special spot, where she can get various perspectives of the sky all around. McKechnie tries to take photos of the prairie skies and the recent warm weather has made it more enjoyable. As seen in this photo, some fields around the Weyburn area have little to no snow left on them.

Weyburn Comp School news (Submitted) - "Footloose" is returning to the WCS stage this coming April. Director Colleen Weimer, having carefully considered all options, has decided that this year's production will be "Footloose" which was staged here at WCS in 2007. The casting is correct, the talent is there, the pit band is ready and there are large chorus numbers. Dates and times and when tickets will be available will be released in the near future. This weekend the senior girls' basketball team is in Balgonie, the senior boys are in Yorkton while the junior teams (girls and boys) are hosting a tournament here in Weyburn. Try and come out and support our junior teams. Next Wednesday, February 4 is the big McLeod Series between Estevan Comprehensive School and Weyburn Comprehensive School. The boys will tip-off at 5:00 p.m., while the girls play at 7:00 p.m. in the Cugnet Centre. WCS has won the McLeod Series, which was started in 1932, since 1984 and is ahead 42 series to 37. For the first time in many years, this year's series could be very close and as many fans as possible are needed out to help the Eagles overcome the Elects. If any school wins three games, they automatically win the trophy but if it is tied two each, it is points for and against.
Letter to the Editor:
Show your gratitude daily The town of St. Albert, Alberta, was a quiet, peaceful community where no doubt everyone took their police protection for granted until two of their own RCMP were tragically shot, one member fatally. Immediately, people poured out tributes with words, flowers and whatever way they could, to express their sorrow and appreciation. Weyburn, too, is a relatively quiet and peaceful city. Fortunately, we have had no such tragedies here, but we are not necessarily immune. The unforseen can occur anywhere. We should show our gratitude to the Weyburn City Police and RCMP for daily putting their lives on the line to keep us safe. Let us take every opportunity to thank and support the members of our police forces. Yours truly, Claire & Ed Kuhn
ate traditional dance regalia, including contemporary ribbon shirts." The Indigenous Pathways Initiative program aims to increase access to public funding by Indigenous artists in Saskatchewan, either to develop their artistic/cultural practices or to share their art, skills and teachings. For the quarter ending December 31, 2014, the Saskatchewan Arts Board awarded funding to over 130 individuals and organizations,
totaling more than $1 million. Arts Board funding supports a variety of initiatives, including organizations that provide ongoing programs in the arts, the creative work of professional artists, community art projects and the engagement of professional artists to work in schools with students and teachers. The Saskatchewan Arts Board was established in 1948 as the first agency of its kind in North America and second in the world to
the Arts Council of Great Britain. In the decades since then, it has continued as a leader in Canada and builds on this strong tradition to meet ongoing opportunities for public investment in the arts community. The Arts Board's mission is to cultivate an environment in which the arts thrive for the benefit of everyone in Saskatchewan.

ADVANCED Bringing Saskatchewanmade products to students' plates at the U of S When students at the University of Saskatchewan (U of S) sit down for a meal in the Marquis Culinary Centre, the central hub of the largest food services operation on campus, chances are they are eating something grown right here in Saskatchewan, which, it turns out, is quite an accomplishment. "At first bringing in more local food seemed like an impossible task," said James McFarland, Culinary Services' assistant director and executive chef. "I'd go down to the farmers' market to talk to producers, but as soon as I talked about the volume we needed, we never got anywhere." What had to change was their approach. "What we figured out is to try to do it in pieces. Even a number of smaller initiatives add up," explained McFarland. Some products, like honey and camelina oil, are available in sufficient quantities yearround, while others, like haskap berries, vegetables and greens, may be limited in quantity or seasonal and so are incorporated into the menu as they become available. In addition to sourcing many foods from local distributors, including staples like meats, dairy and eggs, staff from Culinary Services have developed direct relationships with local producers, bringing products grown right here in our province to the plates of university students. "We have our core menu, but nothing's really set in stone," said McFarland. "We've learned to be flexible so we can take advantage of opportunities as they come up." As the word gets out to food producers and distributors, they expect those opportunities will increase. However, sourcing local food is only part of the picture. "What we're really focusing on is the education component," said McFarland. "In addition to providing good food, we want to educate our diners about the value of locally sourced ingredients, with regards to both nutrition and sustainability." McFarland's team educates the university community about the food prepared in Marquis Culinary Centrein person and using social media. Foods incorporating local ingredients are clearly identifiable as diners make their selections. A recent campaign on Twitter and Instagram also featured the #usaskeatslocalhashtag, which McFarland says was both an opportunity to showcase some of the dishes created using local ingredients and for students to demonstrate how they incorporate locally grown foods into their own cooking. "Students today are more knowledgeable. They're interested in nutrition and social responsibility, including knowing where their food comes from, and the idea of locally sourced, more sustainable foods," said McFarland. "We're glad we can do our part to foster that awareness."
