A fresh perspective
Photo by Viktor Birkus
Viktor Birkus arrived in Weyburn just over five years ago and with that, he brought along a fresh perspective. Viktor and his wife, Maryna, travelled from Odessa, Ukraine, where life looks a lot different than here in Weyburn. Birkus was pleasantly surprised when he first arrived in the city of Weyburn, stating that "It is just like they said it would be. A very quiet and peaceful city. The people are very friendly here." After settling in, Viktor began to explore the city, this time with camera in hand. He began taking photos in 2011 and his time and involvement in this art form has grown quickly. Over the years, Viktor has entered trades fairs, contests and began framing and selling much sought after prints. One particular print that has caught the attention of many people, uses a technique that Birkus applies to the photo in post-processing. This particular technique is referred to as photo painting and gives the photograph an art-like "painting" type of finish. Birkus uses Photoshop finishing in a majority of his photos as he feels that the photo is "just not quite done otherwise. Photoshop takes it to the next level." Viktor’s work in Photoshop gives his photographs a very original, colorful and distinctive finish. Viktor has developed an eye for seeing things in a different light and a keen sense in the use of post-editing techniques. One such light, is morning light. Birkus states that a lot of photographers use the sunset hours and that is one particular reason he decided to take a different approach and photoPhoto by Viktor Birkus graph sunrises. Viktor’s talent for approaching his subjects from a different angle has enabled him to create a distinct and delightful portfolio. He has created a CD called “I Live in Weyburn”, which is a collection of 100 photos from the Weyburn area. Birkus created this CD for family and friends back home, as well as a memory for him. Viktor and his wife are scheduled to leave Weyburn at the end of April. The couple are relocating to B.C. Viktor and Maryna plan to make stops in some of Canada's most beautiful and scenic areas such as the Canadian Rockies along the way. Viktor is excited for his new venture and will be sure to capture some of the country’s most beautiful scenes on his camera. He will be sure to take along with him the great memories he has made in Weyburn, along with the images he captured. To view these images visit www.viktorbirkus.blogspot.ca.

But as luck would have it, the Weyburn resident's major win didn't come from his birthday numbers, but from his ticket's computer-generated 10-digit Guaranteed Prize Draw selection. Dacanay was nonetheless surprised to learn that his ticket had won. "I had to check the ticket a couple times," he laughed. "I saw what the checker said, but I just couldn't believe it. I was so happy. I called my wife and told her about it right away." Dacanay bought his winning ticket at the DT Convenience Store at 7 - 3rd Street NE in Weyburn. The new winner said he
doesn't have plans for his winnings just yet, but the
windfall will be a nice help financially.
Weyburn resident, Ruel Agen Dacanay was the lucky winner of $10,000 on March18, in the Lotto 6/49 draw.
Police urge residents to secure vehicles and valuables On April 12, the Weyburn Police Service were called to a report of a domestic disturbance at a residence. While attempting to mediate the matter, the members attending became aware that the 22 year-old male had outstanding warrants for his arrest. He was taken into custody on those warrants and released later in the day. On April 11, the Weyburn PS received a report of a damaged window on a downtown business. As a result of the investigation, a 38 year-old male was identified as responsible and has been charged with committing mischief and will be making a court appearance. Also on April 11, as a result of a complaint received by the Weyburn PS relating to a domestic issue, a patrol was made in an attempt to locate the suspect.

How do lies get started?
What would my Mom do? M By Andrea Corrigan Last month I wrote a column on snowploughing chil- A Y dren (go to www.weyburnthisweek.com and check out the B March 13th issue if you missed it). E This column raised many comments from my readers T and my girlfriend found a write-up that she sent me focus- H ing on ways to help make raising kids less stressful. A It is called ‘Challenge: Raising kids is stressful. Let's T’ share ways to make it less so. What Would My Mom Do? S (Drink Tab and Lock Us Outside).' It's written by Jen J Hatmaker. Although the author was born about 10 (or so) U years later than I was, some of the points apply to my 'era'. S T Enjoy! I'm about to tell you the truth: parenting has become M E very precious in our generation. This very morning, a mom posted how on her son's birthday, she assembles a comprehensive "time capsule" including items, photos, and products related to that particular year, stores it in a set of antique trunks, and plans to present them all to him on his 18th birthday as a tribute to his entire life. Holy. Crap. Cannot. Deal. When I think about upping the joy in parenting and diminishing the stress, I propose that much of our anxiety stems from this notion that our kids' childhood must be Utterly Magical; a beautifully documented fairytale in which they reside as center of the universe, their success is manufactured (or guaranteed), and we over-attend to every detail of their lives until we send them off to college after writing their entrance essays. It becomes this fake pressure, which results in its trusty sidekick: guilt. And nothing steals joy away from parenting more than believing you are doing a terrible job at it. And nothing confirms you are doing a terrible job at it then thinking you should run out and backfill eight antique trunks as a memorial to your third-grader's life. So here is my trick for keeping the joy and losing the stress: What would my mom do? I was born in 1974, good readers. It no more occurred to my mom to coddle us Precious Snowflakes than it did to quit drinking a case of Tab a day. If you told my mom to craft a yearly time capsule for each child to store until graduation, she would have cried tears of laughter all the way to Jazzercise. My girlfriend asked me just yesterday: "Do you remember your mom ever volunteering in your classroom?" "NO mom was ever in our classroom. We rode the bus to school on the first day, had one Christmas party that consisted of store-bought cookies and cherry kool-aid, then school ended and we played outside until Labor Day. That was the school year." My mom says that she and her friends just raised us, while my friends and me "parent" (these are sarcastic finger quotes). And honestly? She's right. They didn't worry endlessly, interfere constantly, safeguard needlessly, or overprotect religiously. They just raised us. And we turned out fine. Confession: as we head toward summer, I get this itchy, panicked feeling, because we are staring down twelve unstructured weeks, and all I can picture are my five kids sleeping too late, losing brain cells on their various screens which I will feel conflicted and guilty about, and driving me crazy. How will I balance work? How will I keep them entertained? How will I occupy fourteen hours a day? How will I maintain their reading levels? I already feel like a Bad Summer Mom and it is March, for the love. Which tells me I need to default to my trick: What would my mom do? Well, first of all, we didn't have 24/7 access to cartoons, video games, and YouTube, so she did what all moms did: told us to play. The end. It never crossed my mom's mind to "entertain us" or "fund expensive summer endeavors" or "create stimulating activities for our brain development." She said get the hell outside, and we did. We made up games and rode our bikes and choreographed dance routines and drank out of the hose when we got thirsty. I swear, my mom did not know where we actually were half the time. Turned out in the neighborhood all day, someone's mom would eventually make us bologna sandwiches on white bread and then lock us out, too. We were like a roving pack of wolves, and all the moms took turn feeding and watering us. No one hovered over us like Nervous Nellies. And never one time, not once did I feel unloved or neglected. My parents majored on the majors and minored on the minors. Could it be that we are simply too precious about parenting? Have we forgotten the benefit of letting our kids fail? Figure it out? Work hard for it? Entertain themselves? We put so much undue pressure on ourselves to curate Magical Childhoods, when in fact, kids are quite capable of being happy kids without constant adult administration. I would argue that making them the center of the universe is actually terribly detrimental. A good parent prepares the child for the path, not the path for the child. We can still demonstrate gentle and attached parenting without raising children who melt on a warm day. Guess what the side effect is for us parents? RELIEF. Get your joy back! Try it. Pull back as Cruise Director and adopt the "what would my mom do" approach, and see what happens. What do you know? The kids are all right! They aren't poor, neglected Oliver Twists. They won't come completely unraveled. They aren't helpless, hapless ninnies who can't figure a bloomin' thing out. Their futures aren't doomed. We don't want to produce young adults that despair at the first obstacle they face. Don't we want them to learn that they are one part of a healthy family, not the centrifugal force of their entire environment? And mamas and daddies? We get to jettison that manufactured guilt that tells us we aren't doing enough, when in fact, no generation of parents has ever done more. (My friends in higher education are actually begging us to DO LESS PLEASE BECAUSE THESE CHILDREN DON'T KNOW HOW TO FILL OUT AN ONLINE FORM WITHOUT HELP.) Let's get our joy back and resist all this made-up stress! Let's recapture the joy of watching kids play in sprinklers, build forts out of couch cushions, create dramatic "programs" (my parents have PTSD from ours), and run around the neighborhood with their friends. Let's give them back the gift of imagination, self-sufficiency, creativity. What did our moms do? They let us be kids, and we wobbled and skinned our knees and made up our own fun and enjoyed the simple pleasures of childhood without any flash and dazzle. But you know what? We knew we were loved and we knew we were safe. We never doubted the most important parts of the story. We weren't fragile hothouse plants but dirty, rowdy, resilient kids who ate Twinkies and candy cigarettes and lived to Friday, April 17 tell. Mama, don't fall for the yearly time capsules. You have everything your little ones need: kisses, Shel Silverstein books, silly High 19 songs, kitchen dance parties, a backyard, family dinner around Low 3 the table, and a cozy lap. They'll fill in the rest of the gaps and be better for it. Your kids don't need to be entertained and they Saturday, April 18 don't need to be bubble-wrapped; they just need to be loved. It's all any kid has ever really needed. Facebook Saying of the Week: Life is short, live it. Love is High 16 rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. MemoLow 4 ries are sweet, cherish them!

There have been different shows, whether on television or the big screen, which lift up the problem of lying. Usually the plot is that a lie is needed to cover a problem. Then another lie is needed to cover for the first lie. And on it goes. Even some mysteries use this plot to build their stories. But the alert officer of the law always sees through it, questioning the lies, and justice is done. I wonder if the problem with Easter might be how many lies there have been over the decades? The beginning event is the resurrection of Jesus almost two thousand years ago. It was this good news that brought the hope of eternal life through the forgiveness of sin. The faithful know that they will rise to be with Jesus in heaven. When Jesus greeted His disciples, after His resurrection, he said, " Peace be with you." Thus, the hope that the message gives brings peace. The soldiers guarding the tomb certainly did not have peace. Somehow, Jesus rose and they were left with an empty grave. The angel rolled the stone away to prove it. What could they say to their officers and Pilate? The Chief Priests wanted them to say that they fell asleep and the disciples stole the body, but this was not only a lie, but a death warrant for them, although the priests tried to promise to protect them. Besides, if they were sleeping, how could they know the disciples stole Jesus? And, usually, another lie is needed to cover the first lie, and then more...Sounds familiar, doesn't it. The Chief Priests did not have peace because they needed to work with their enemy, the Romans, to prove the lie. This could be bad enough, but later, when Peter and John healed a lame man, the priests worked harder to block the true message, trying to forbid them to speak in the name of Jesus. That anxiety does not seem like peace. I do not know from where the easter bunny came, but this does not bring peace either. The selfish desire is to find as many hidden prizes as possible. The fact that most are chocolate or candy adds to the question about the practice. But even the colored eggs do not suggest life, for they are hard boiled and lifeless. Children would have less cavities if it were not for all the sugar-causing candy of this season. Even the false idea about Hallowe'en seems to have more healthy treats. It is intriguing that we tell our children to tell the truth, only to lie to them about the easter bunny. I wonder what emotional trauma this might raise later in life to learn that parents, and most of society, lied to them? The Church must keep the message true. The resurrection is the reason for the season, and nothing else. We need to lift up the hope of eternal life that we have by the grace of God in Jesus. This grace is the only element that brings hope and peace to a desperate and anxious world. As we keep Christ in Christmas, let us abandon the false tales and lift up resurrection, and the joy it brings, as the center of the celebration, not some rabbit that clucks. Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Tell the Good News! The Rev. Martin Olson, Zion Lutheran Church, Weyburn
So many stories to tell
By Linda Wegner This has been a week of story telling. I've heard tales of adventure as well as a unique account of investment, first sparked by discarded bottles and pop cans. Then there was the opportunity to experience the excitement of back yard gardening. I began my working week by conducting an interview with a gracious octogenarian who, more than fifty years ago, chose to launch her career as a teacher in Ethiopia. It was, as she described it, a time when females weren't deemed worthy of education. Or of much else, for that matter. Her eyes conveyed her lingering passion for that mission. Since returning to North America and settling down in our city, she discovered yet another opportunity to support and encourage children around the world. That's where the cans and bottles come in. Back then environmental issues definitely were less than headliners and people carelessly tossed cans and bottles most anywhere. Displeased with the mess that had been created she began picking them up, sorting them in her backyard garage and then redeeming them for cash. She'd write down the dates and the amounts, then send the money to organizations such as Samaritan's Purse. After the first $70,000 she stopped counting. The story doesn't end there because she continues to invest in orphanages around the world. Then there was the story of a young family that has chosen to convert a non-descript backyard and driveway into a showcase of home grown fruit and vegetables. Their invest-

Saskatchewan's unemployment rate was 4.4 per cent in March 2015 (seasonally adjusted), maintaining the lowest rate among the provinces for the 18th straight month, well below 6.8 per cent recorded nationally according to Statistics Canada. "We continue to have the lowest unemployment rate in Canada thanks to employers creating more new jobs for Saskatchewan people, showing confidence in our diverse economy," Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. "The increase in the number of jobs over last year is proof that Saskatchewan's economy remains strong." Job numbers in Saskatchewan were on the rise this March, up 6,400 (1.1 per cent) over last March, the third highest percentage growth among all provinces. "In this year's budget, our government made some major investments in skills and training," Harrison said. "Our goal is to make sure Saskatchewan people have what they need to move into employment opportunities that are available now. This benefits employers and helps keep the economy moving forward." Other highlights include: • Full-time employment increased year-over-year by 8,700 and part-time decreased by 2,300. • Regina's employment was up 1,800 (+1.3 per cent), and Saskatoon's employment was up 2,100 (+1.3 per cent) compared to last March. • Major year-over-year gains were reported for business, building and other support services, up 29.8 per cent; utilities up 8.8 per cent; other services up 7.1 per cent; educational services up 6.8 per cent; finance, insurance, real estate and leasing up 6.6 per cent. • Off-reserve Aboriginal employment was up 400 (+0.9 per cent) from March 2014. • Youth unemployment rate was 8.6 per cent (seasonally adjusted), lowest among the provinces, and below the national rate of 13.0 per cent. • Saskatchewan's employment increased 7,000 from the previous month with a rate of 1.2 per cent that ranked highest among provinces (seasonally adjusted). • Nationally, employment was up 28,700 (+0.2 per cent, seasonally adjusted) from the previous month. In the rest of western Canada, Alberta's employment was up 1,500 (+0.1 per cent), B.C. was up 5,700 (+0.2 per cent) and Manitoba was up 6,100 (+1.0 per cent) from the previous month (seasonally adjusted).

Available Bachelorette Sarah is 38, a down-to-earth, simple living, country girl & a natural beauty. She has never been married & has no children of her own. She grew up on her parents farm, then moved away & started her own bakery when she was 23. At 29 her mother passed away suddenly, leaving her father by himself & Sarah with a very difficult decision. As much as she loved her bakery, family comes first, so she sold her business & moved back to help her father operate the farm. She is very happy there and it’s expanded with extra employees. Sarah is very hard working & success driven, but she has not had much time to herself to find a serious relationship. Now that her father is retired & she has help on the farm, she has a lot more time to enjoy herself & is hoping to find that special someone to spend her life with. She is looking for a man who likes the country life, is energetic, active & outdoorsy.

Deadline for Millie Coghill Fine Arts Award applications approaching For many years the Weyburn Arts Council has supported our youth by funding certain educational opportunities in the arts. Some of our awards have included an annual music award for the Weyburn Music Festival, a yearly drama plaque for St. Mike's students, various requests for summer school assistance as well as assisting with post secondary education in designated areas of study. The merits of each application are reviewed by the awards committee. The purpose of Arts Council is "to provide leadership in the education, promotion, presentation and preservation of the arts in our community". This is one way we fulfill our purpose and provide some monetary assistance to the youth of our community as they pursue their ongoing studies. We are offering a Fine Arts Award to local and area post secondary students with specific criteria. This award is being offered on a yearly basis with the deadline for applications being April 30. This will allow the applicants time to develop their applications in full, and will allow the Arts Council sufficient time to review the submissions. Students entering the following fields: graphic arts, architecture, interior design, visual arts, or music are eligible to apply. They would need to would provide proof of acceptance in a post-secondary institution, a list of extra-curricular activities, a record of high school marks, letters of reference, a detailed history of community & volunteer involve-

ment, as well as work history. Also, a recommendation from an involved teacher as to why they feel this student would be deserving of such award. This scholarship would be for a first year post secondary student, and would be presented by a representative of the Weyburn Arts Council before the press. For application forms and criteria, call 306-848-3922, forms available on Weyburn Arts Council's website, or email weyburnartscouncil@live.ca to have a set mailed out.
Mobile blood donor clinic set for April 21 On April 21, Canadian Blood Services encourages eligible donors in Weyburn and surrounding area to donate blood. Their current O negative blood inventory is low. The blood clinic will be held at the Assiniboia Park Elementary School from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. To be a blood donor, residents must be at least 17 years old, in good general health, feel well and able to perform their typical activities. Donors will be asked a variety of questions and need to provide information on any recent medical or dental visits, tattoos, or travels outside of the country. Anyone interested in learning more about donor critieria can check with the ABCs of Eligibility at the Canadian Blood Services website, www.blood.ca.
April 21 is another blood donor clinic in Weyburn. How many will show up? The last clinic in Weyburn was February 24, 2015, approximately 2 months ago. I believe the quota for Weyburn was 142 units. I'm not sure if that goal was achieved as the weather was not the greatest. Here is my beef! 12,000 people in Weyburn and my guess is another 6,000 in the surrounding area, which includes south to the U.S. border, west towards Pangman, north to Francis and east to Midale. This area includes numerous small communities and 12 or 14 RMs. 18,000 people. If we eliminate half of these for being too old or medically not able to donate, that leaves 9,000. Cut this in half for those too young to donate. This leaves 4,500 potential donors. And how many show up? Approximately 142. In my opinion, that is very sad. Maybe even disgraceful. I called the 1-800 number on the back of my donor card to get some info as to unit targets, units donated, etc. The number is in Ontario so no help was available. I tried the Regina Blood Services number in the Regina phone book three times and my call got forwarded to Ontario. Maybe nobody cares. For an hour or hour and a half, you can be a donor. I always feel better after donating. The bonus is the drink and the cookies upon the completion of the donation. One piece of information I did get from my Ontario call was that only 4% of potential donors Canada-wide actually donate. Would it knock somebody's socks off if out of our potential 4,500 donors, 100 more people stepped up and donated so instead of 142 units, the total would be 242 units. Remember folks, April 21, 2015. Maybe mark your calendars. Let's see what Weyburn and area can do. Ron Fellner, Weyburn

12 Weyburn This Week, Friday, April 17, 2015
Weyburn Comprehensive School news (Submitted) - Easter is over and the dash to the finish is taking place at the Weyburn Comp. There are only eight weeks (and just seven until final exams) of school left in the 2014/2015 school year with graduation on June 8. This is the last year for a shortened school year and WCS will return to the regular schedule of ending on June 30 in 2016.
Because of the brief time left, events are going to be coming fast and furious. In sports, the badminton team is warming up for district playoffs to be held later this month and the track team is getting ready for their season. Of course, the next big event is the upcoming musical "Footloose". The first performance is just two weeks away and tickets are

The acting is great, production numbers are huge and the lyrics memorable. Tick-
