Poverty Plainsmen to perform The Poverty Plainsmen, a well-known prairie band, are set to perform April 18 at the Weyburn Curling Rink. The Weyburn Red Wing Alumni are hosting a Winter Meltdown Cabaret, featuring The Plainsmen, as a fundraiser for our hometown hockey team. The Poverty Plainsmen are a Saskatchewan-based band, which originated from Tilston, Manitoba. Mark Smith and his younger brother, Sean, initially put together the band for what they believed would be their first and only gig. Years have passed since their 1987 debut performance and the band is still going strong. The Plainsmen have been successful on tour and in the studio. Studio work includes the release of their album "Gotta Be a Believer" (1994), with two more albums following, "There's No Looking Back" (1995) and "Lap of Luxury" (2004). Fans can expect to hear popular favorites such as their remake of the 70s hit
Supporting Pink Day
by America "Sister Golden Hair", a song which was in the top 10 on Canadian charts for eight weeks and was the number one song for two weeks. The band's performances at major festivals, fairs and rodeos include the Big Valley Jamboree, Merritt Mountain Music Festival, Grande Prairie's Bud Fever, Dauphin Countryfest and the Calgary Stampede. The Red Wing Alumni are pleased to add Weyburn to the list of performances. The last fundraising event held by the Red Wing Alumni in 2012 was a huge success, and was sold out. Ryan Williams says "I strongly encourage everyone to purchase their tickets in advance, as the last event was a sell out." Doors for the cabaret will open at 8:00 p.m. Regina band Third Degree Birnz will hit the stage prior to The Poverty Plainsmen's performance. Tickets are $20.00 each and are available at Pharmasave.
Chief Marlo Pritchard participated in the Day of Pink Parade on April 1. The parade is held yearly to educate students about the negative effects of bullying.

Local firefighters attend Crude by Rail emergency course (Submitted) - Two Weyburn firefighters recently returned from Pueblo, Colorado after attending a course sponsored and fully funded by Canadian Pacific Railway. Platoon leaders Lindsey Leko and Kevin Cooke attended the Crude by Rail Emergency Response course taught at the Security and Emergency Response Training Center south of Pueblo, Colorado. Approximately 40 firefighters from across
North America attended the course designed for the first responder to a major train derailment involving crude oil or other hazardous contents. The course covered topics including rail car design, hazards, product identification, tactics and fire suppression. Leko, a 17-year-veteran and training officer with the fire department was marveled at the facility where the training took place. "Basically it is a large base
in the middle of the desert where all sorts of testing is done on rail cars, locomotives and other modes of transport" says Leko. "They have a good supply of equipment out there including various types of rail cars, tankers and learning aids all designed to help firefighters in the field." Cooke, a 23-year-veteran of the fire department agreed and echoed Leko's observations. "The staff out there were
very knowledgeable and were extremely helpful to students taking the course. There was also a wide variety of experienced people out there taking the training as well, so it was sort of a big team effort," added Cooke. The instructors simulated the burning of the rail cars as best they could with large propane fire simulators and alcohol based fuels because actual burning of crude oil is not allowed. "It still got hot enough and
15042SMF01
the alcohol based fuels moved in puddles on the ground, so you really had to be aware of where you were standing and where the runoff was going," said Cooke. Students controlled the fire with hand lines, large volume pumps and fire foam to eventually put the fire out. "In reality, hand lines probably would not be used in derailments as crude oil burns much hotter than propane and firefighters would not get that close to rail cars
that are on fire, but it seemed real enough," said Cooke. It is important to have a plan for events such as this as the resources that go into it are huge. "This is not the type of event where a fire department shows up with an 800 gallon fire truck and four pails of foam and expects to put the fire out," said Leko. "Planning has to go in place for large volumes of water, foam and other supplies depending upon where the fire is and what access is to the site." Weyburn Fire Department has responded to rail emergencies in the past. One was a major derailment with a large fire near Ralph and they've also attended collisions between trains and vehicles. The plan is to bring back this training to the rest of the members of the Weyburn Fire Department so that they have some basic awareness of derailment emergencies. Plans are also being made to provide a training day with departments such as Yellow Grass, Midale, Fillmore, Stoughton and Sedley, to name a few, as they have rail lines hauling crude oil going through their communities. The Weyburn Fire Department will contact CP Rail so that they can plan something major and have the equipment necessary to do it properly. When asked what stood out during their time in Pueblo, both Weyburn firefighters had different answers. "The amount of energy stored in metal under pressure on railcar derailments is incredible," said Cooke. "You may attend a derailment and find twisted and bent metal everywhere, but you always have to be aware that this metal has a memory and if it lets go or is cut, it will immediately spring back to its original shape and form which is a definite danger for any person standing close to it." Leko was surprised at the amount of water and foam needed to cool and extinguish a crude oil fire. "It may take hours of pouring water on these rail cars, cooling them off enough so that the foam can work and suppress flammable vapors and eventually put the fire out," he said. The Weyburn Fire Department hopes to send members away for future training in rail car fires, big truck rescues, MVA extrication courses and incident command courses. This training will make the department better prepared to handle any emergency that it may find in the response area.

Letter to the Editor Congratulations to the fine women who were nominated for awards and to those who received them. The judges could not have had an easy time deciding among such fine candidates. Thank you to Quota International for inviting me to speak at the awards dinner. I chose to speak about my journey to my own career in medicine, a little bit about the international projects of which I've been privileged to be a part, and about valuing women's choices even when we don't understand them. I did not speak about Bill C51 even though I am deeply concerned about the fact that every advance that we have made towards equality, justice for working people, even the five day work week has depended upon social action - and this bill makes no distinction about type of social action or activity might constitute a "crime". Beyond stopping the lady from crossing the border because she was once hospitalized for depression or the man with a beard just because he looks suspicious both of which already occur, this bill permits the break-up of any meeting and the pick-up of anybody for imprisonment without explanation. It is going to pass anyways and give lawyers both a headache and a fat wallet. I did not speak about the war against ISIS although the clothing I modelled came from women whose lives have been at risk for the last twenty-five years. The West has "gone into" Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq in the last two decades, each time leaving the country and the people in a worse state than they were before. Over 1.2 million civilians have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq by Western forces. It was a Canadian soldier who said, "I shoot one Talaban and ten step forward to take his place". Of course, we are on their land! Canada becoming involved in a military fashion in Syria is insanity. Definition of insane: "doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome". Besides failed states, what comes out of involvement? My unsophisticated granny said, after losing two sons in the second world war "war only brings wealth to the arms merchants". If the rulers and decision-makers of the world are still acting on a knee-jerk response to violence, maybe they need to be replaced. I have a good idea of where resources might be found. There is a dearth of women at those tables - women who might think that the "collateral damage" of the lives of women and children is not worth "surgical targeting". There is a wealth of wonderful women who make daily decisions worthy of awards, not just in Weyburn but around the world. Thanks again for the opportunity to share my thoughts.

of the vehicle failed a road side test. The driver was then taken to the police station where he provided two breath samples, testing over 0.08. He was then charged and later released. On April 3, police were dispatched to the former St. Dominic school, where it was believed that there was a break and enter in progress. Members arrived on scene and found a 34 year-old male suspect running from the scene. A short foot chase ensued and the male was arrested. The suspect was charged with Break and Enter to the school, with approximately $4,000.00 worth of damage done to the building. On April 1, members attended to a residence in the 500 block of Coteau Avenue to remove a unwanted intoxicated male from a residence. The male would not leave the residence when asked to do so by the home owner. Police arrived and removed the intoxicated male from the residence. Also on April 1, police attended to an accident at Government Road and Hill Avenue. There were several vehicles stopped waiting for a vehicle to make a left hand turn onto Hill Avenue. One driver failed to notice that the vehicles ahead of him were stopped. The driver then rear ended the vehicle that was in front of him. There were no injuries but one vehicle had to be towed away and the driver was charged with undue care and attention. Further on April 1, there was a report of mischief to a vehicle parked on the 1800 block of Gordon Miles Road. The vehicle appeared to be keyed down the passenger side of the vehicle. No suspects or charges have been laid and it is still under investigation. Also on April 1, police received a complaint of a male who was causing a disturbance at a local bar in town. The male was arrested and taken to cells where he was kept until sober then released and charged with causing a disturbance in an establishment. On March 31, a vehicle had what was believed to be cattle feces spread on it. It is unknown at this time as to the reason behind this incident and it is still under investigation. On March 29, a citizen reported witnessing individuals dumping household appliances at the cardboard recycling lot on East Avenue. When police arrived, the individuals were gone from the area. There was a dishwasher and microwave along with several other items left at the cardboard recycling area beside the sign that indicates no dumping of material other then cardboard under the city bylaw. It is illegal to dump anything but paper products.

Words are powerful things
By Helen Waller Spring is in the air. Ironically the snow is still on the ground and my house was just about to get a whole lot chillier. If you are anything like me, spring makes me want to house clean, organize closets, move furniture around and even paint. There’s only one problem... and he happens to stand six feet tall. He is my husband and he develops a slight twitch whenever I use the ‘paint’ word. He figures we could get at least one, two... well, actually eight or so years out of the last paint job. So what's a gal to do? I do what any smart, self-respecting, mature adult would. I wait until he leaves. I had a six hour window of opportunity while he went to the city. He is a farm boy, after all, and the same twitch he has when talking about paint, hits him around the five hour mark in the city. So, I headed down the local hardware store to pick out some paint. The good thing about my six hour time period is that it does not allow a lot of time to drive myself crazy trying to pick just the right shade of beige. I zoned in on the general shade I wanted and picked out the swatch. It was called ‘Rock Bottom’. I had to laugh. This color was meant to be. When my husband got home and saw what I had done, our marriage may just hit that. Paint names have become very creative over the years. I saw colors named after foods like ‘Bagel’ and ‘Death by Chocolate’ but then there are some, not so appetizing ones like ‘Mouse’s Back’ and ‘Dragon’s Blood’. I don't know who makes up these paint names, but we need to talk. I have yet to meet one single person, EVER, who exclaimed “Ohhhh, I love the color of mice. Especially their back. Their back is such a nice shade of grey. That colour would be very relaxing in the living room.” That doesn't even make sense to me. It got me thinking of some perfect paint names that actually relate to the whole painting experience. Here's a list of my top ten favorites. 1. Surprise, honey! 2. The kids fingerprints will look great on this color tomorrow. 3. Now you will need to buy new furniture to match this paint color. 4. Whoops! Was that a can of paint I just knocked over! 5. Your mother in law will say "That's different! " 6. Your father in law will never even notice. 7. You will be painting this wall again next year. 8. Your boys will make a hole in this wall. 9. Final straw. 10. Thanks for helping, honey. For anyone interested in knowing how my painting experience turned out, I will give you a hint. It's my new favorite color. Number 10.
By Linda Wegner Words are powerful. Is there really a more trite saying in this world? Perhaps it's just because I'm a writer but it seems that true, albeit commonplace, saying is a foundational principle understood by everyone. Having said that, some days words take on an even more powerful meaning than usual. Take this past week, for instance: our son and his wife, along with their two beloved dogs moved into our place for a couple of days. Meals were intermittent; my emotions, frazzled. Two days later they set off for a three day drive to their new home. Enough said. As happy as I was for them and the excellent opportunities that awaited them, I sure needed a bit of encouragement. On that matter someone once said: "Unless you put out your water-jugs when it rains you will catch no water" and I, among many, can attest to the truth of that snippet of wisdom. During these challenging days I've had numbers of friends phone or email to see how I was doing and there were more invitations to meals than I could accept. Each gesture of encouragement is so appreciated. One message stands out just because it was such a seemingly ordained moment. I'd gone to Vancouver Island for a medical appointment and at a particular moment in time, an agricultural professional I'd met a number of years ago just happened to be in the same store, at the end of the same aisle. "You're Linda Wegner, aren't you?" she asked. Surprised but delighted to see her, we chatted briefly but not before she told me how much she enjoyed the monthly column I write in an agricultural publication. I continued shopping, buoyed by the jug of blessing I'd just received. Don't hesitate to share words of encouragement. Someone needs them!

Democracy Majority rules! - that's what we say democracy means. But many of us do not act as though we believe it! As Federal and Provincial elections appear on the horizon, valiant measures will be undertaken to get voters to the polls to cast their ballot. Although we will to go to war to defend our democracy or fight for the right of others to have a free say in their own future, far too many Canadians don't bother to get out to exercise their franchise. We're content to let others decide for us. It happens in churches too. People should not be surprised then to find that the world is run by those who show up! Another other aspect of group decision making is that whatever the majority decides is what 100% of us need to be willing to support. Once the decision is made, that is what we all need to get behind, or at the very least, do nothing to oppose. However, let the decision be other than what some people would have chosen, and they think that they can subvert the will of the majority by speaking against what the majority has decided, even campaigning to gain others to their minority view. In fact, it is not unknown to have people remove their support, financial or personal presence, to demonstrate their unhappiness with the decision in the hope of overturning it. People threaten to leave the church, or to withhold promised financial support in order to sway the majority, or to prevent them from proceeding. In my experience, if a church group prays for the guidance of God's Spirit in the decision that lies before them, those who try to oppose it after the fact by a rear-guard action, will face disappointment. They believe that their withdrawn support will be effective, but discover that it is not. If they leave the Church, others arrive to replace them. If they withdraw financial support, the next year's balance sheet shows that funds have come (may I say miraculously?) to replace what was withheld. If God is in favour of what has been decided, those are pretty big odds to counter! The Bible does say: "If God is for us, who can be against us?" But we do need to be sure that we are moving in God's direction, not trying to force God to move in ours! The Rev. Bob Wilson, Knox Presbyterian Church

awareness and action to this social issue. Last year a total of 135 communities and 259 schools participated. According to the Red Cross, Canadian teachers ranked cyber bullying as their issue of highest concern out of six options listed and 89per cent state that bullying and violence are serious problems in our public schools. The effects of such harassment , whether it be physical or emotional, can have detrimental effects on students productivity including loss of interest in school activities, more absenteeism, skipping/ dropping classes, lower grades and tardiness. The students from Weyburn schools took to the streets on April 1, led by Mayor Debra Button, Police Chief Marlo Pritchard, Inspector Rod Stafford and Red Cross representative George Barker. The parade included over 500 students, business representatives and community members.

8 Weyburn This Week, Friday, April 10, 2015
Letter to the editor: Waking up to find out you just won the Lotto Twin 39! The cost of your ticket - a twin corridor highway that would entirely bypass the city
of Weyburn! Last Wednesday evening, at a public viewing, Tetra
Tech announced their "favored" route proposal. It appears that Weyburn will
remain a city cut in half, as residents continue to suffer huge inconvenience and safety issues with increased rail traffic. Now add a future decrease in business traffic due to this bypass plan. At a meeting last year, Tetra Tech made it clear that their number one goal was to create an uninterrupted flow of twined traffic at a speed of 110 km/hr. They had balked at suggestions of using the existing 39 route because of 3rd Street and Government Road intersections. It appears they also discarded mention that these troublesome bottlenecks could be closed off in exchange for an overpass and could be integrated anywhere between 11th street and 16th street.
At this more recent meeting, Tetra Tech representatives went on to expound how the zone created between the existing city and the proposed south west corridor would naturally fill with development, industrial and or residential, even though this continues to fail to address the ongoing situation of emergency services being held up by CP Rail traffic, preventing access to the south side of the city. Case in point.. How many of you can say that you have been to Vegreville Alberta via hwy 16 to Edmonton? Many of you will say "sure I have", but did you actually drive through the town of 5,700 and perhaps stop to shop or visit a restaurant?
Let your voice be heard!

More than likely not, why? identical type of bypass. I don't think you will find too many people that would disagree that highway 39 needs to be twined (including myself), however, it would be to everyone's advantage if the City, CP rail as well as the Provincial Government could come together and re-examine their options. How many business are going to lose out as opposed to the handful of usual suspects that are going to benefit? A quick look at an RM map makes for an interesting read. Ever wonder where your ambulance and fire trucks are parked? Maybe that won't matter if you've won the Lotto? Andrew Shanaida

Solid export number in February Saskatchewan exports took a 7.2 per cent jump in February 2015 when compared to February 2014, well ahead of the 0.7 per cent decrease posted nationally according to Statistics Canada. Exports from the province totaled $2.6 billion in February 2015. "The year-over-year rise in exports is good news," Minister responsible for Trade Jeremy Harrison said. "We have a thriving export market in Saskatchewan which is distributing products all over the globe." Major increases on a yearover-year basis were recorded for farm, fishing and food products (up 17.6 per cent); metal ores and nonmetallic minerals (up 58.7 per cent); metal and nonmetallic mineral products (up 403.9 per cent); and consumer goods (up 66.0 per cent). "Saskatchewan's export sector is very diverse with successful businesses able to showcase quality products in a very competitive market," Harrison said. "It is contributing to our strong economy by creating jobs and opening up new opportunities in growth markets." In the first two months of 2015, exports in the province were $5.4 billion, up 10.5 per cent over the same period last year.

The View
from the desk of Marga Cugnet, CEO, Sun Country Health Region
Find the right service from the right care provider at the right time One of the improvement projects in Sun Country Health Region this past year goes to the very core of our goal to provide efficient and effective health care service to the public. The project was designed to guide patients and their families through the maze of health care providers and programs to find the right care at the right time from the right provider. The project has demonstrated an opportunity to improve access for patients and is already being examined for replication in another location. The project took place in Weyburn General Hospital's emergency department. The goal was to educate the public about the wide range of services provided in Sun Country Health Region that may prevent visits to the Emergency Room that could have been provided at more appropriate locations. Our intention is not to stop people from going to the emergency department. We DO want to inform and direct them if another provider can provide that care. The emergency department is designed to manage urgent situations such as trauma-type emergencies. A key factor is that none of our hospitals have doctors on
site 24 hours each day. They are all on-call. We do not have the population and numbers of emergencies to hire a staff emergency doctor for each site. That means, in every case, a nurse will call a doctor from home or from his/her medical clinic to come to the emergency department when a patient arrives who needs attention. If that patient could have gone to another care provider - for the same care - most patients would prefer to do that. There are lots of examples of care that could be provided by alternate providers. The renewing of prescriptions is one. Instead of going to the emergency department and waiting for a doctor, you might call one of the doctors or nurse practitioners accepting new patients (a list is on our website at http://www.suncountry.sk.ca/directory/ doctors and nurse practitioners accepting new patients). The patient is more satisfied to make an appointment, the service is provided without a wait and the doctors responding to the emergency department know the calls are emergencies. Information about alternative points of care is available in the Directory of Services available in every facility in the Region, and on the Sun Country Health Region website http://www.suncountry.sk.ca/. Help is also available in deciding where to go when you have a health issue by calling Healthline at 811 or visiting Healthlineonline. The patient navigator who answers the Healthline telephone will assess your symptoms and give you advice. This kind of change in the way health care is delivered may save health care dollars. It will also improve the quality of life for doctors covering the emergency department on-call and certainly will increase the satisfaction level of the patients. That's our primary goal.

SGI shares motorcycle safety tips for all road-users They see you - do you see them? Motorcycles are out and SGI is reminding drivers and riders to share the road to keep all road-users safe. SGI is also reminding riders of traffic law changes that have come into effect, stemming from safety recommenda-
tions of the Motorcycle Review Committee. "Motorcyclists are at a higher risk of injuries than those travelling in a passenger vehicle," said Andrew Cartmell, President and CEO of SGI. "To reduce that risk, all road-users need to work together and pay

special attention during the riding season." In 2013, there were 244 crashes in Saskatchewan involving a motorcycle, moped or power cycle, resulting in 203 injuries and six deaths. All six deaths and 177 of those injuries were motorcyclists. Road safety is everyone's responsibility. Adopt these driving habits to help riders keep the rubber on the pavement: • Drivers - look twice and save a life. Motorcycles are small and difficult to see. Before turning left in front of traffic, look further ahead to ensure a bike isn't traveling behind an oncoming vehicle. Before changing lanes, check your mirrors and turn
your head to ensure a bike isn't in your blind spot. Increase your following distance - rear-ending a motorcyclist has far more severe consequences in most cases than rear-ending a passenger vehicle. • Motorcyclists - you're not invincible, be visible. Bright or reflective gear will help others see you sooner. Use the proper lane positions to ensure maximum exposure. Make sure you're wearing all the gear, all the time. It's the law that new riders must have their arms and legs covered, wear hand-covering gloves, ankle-covering boots and an approved 3/ 4, modular or full-face helmet. Also, increase your skills by completing a certified
training course. Whether you're a rookie or a veteran, this course will teach you skills to improve your technique or abolish bad habits. To increase safety measures and reduce collisions, some new laws regarding motorcycles were implemented last year. All new riders must complete the Basic Ability Road Test (BART) or a certified training course in order to get a 6 endorsement. Riders who complete their BART on or after April 1, 2015 on a bike with an engine with 400cc or less will receive an 'R' restriction on their licence, limiting them to operating bikes 400cc or less. Riders will keep the restriction throughout the Motorcycle Graduated Driver's Li-
