In honour of Mothers everywhere In today's world, Mother’s day has come to be internationally recognized as a day to both celebrate and honor all mothers. The official Mother's Day holiday arose in the early 1900s as a result of the determined efforts of a woman, who ironically enough never became a mother herself. In 1905, a woman by the name of Anna Jarvis, was coping with the loss of her very own mother when she conceived the notion of Mother's Day. Jar vis yearned to carry out her Mother's wishes of having a day set aside just for mothers as a way of honoring the sacrifices that mothers, much like her own, had made for their children. The original celebration involved wearing a white carnation as a badge, visiting one's own mother and attending church services. Jarvis, had chosen the white carnation, as it is a symbol for those who have passed away. Following the success of her first Mother's Day celebration, Jarvis resolved to see her holiday added to the national calendar in the United States of America. Anna spent years campaigning for her cause which included a massive letter writing campaign to newspapers
and prominent politicians. After establishing the Mother's Day International Association, many churches, towns and states began to adopt Mother's Day as an annual holiday. It was a major stepping stone for Jarvis who believed most American holidays had been geared towards male achievements. Many years of hard work and persistence paid off in 1914, when President Woodrow Wilson signed a measure officially establishing the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. Canada quickly followed suit in 1915. Today Mother's Day is celebrated in almost 50 countries around the world. It is celebrated on different days in May and in some countries it is celebrated in entirely different times of the year. Countries such as Spain, France, Sweden, France, Rome and Yugoslavia have established rituals and celebrations for generations. Rome in particular celebrated a spring festival called Hilaria, dating as far back as 250 B.C. The festival was dedicated to their other goddess named, Cybee. Her followers would make offerings at the temple, hold parades, play games and have masquerades for a total of three days.
Mother's Day, in modern times is as every bit as grandeur as Rome's three day celebrations. Total spending is estimated to reach 14 billion dollars worldwide, on gifts such as gardening supplies, housewares, taking mom out for dinner, flowers, jewellery and spa services. It is estimated that one-fourth of the flowers purchased on all the holidays, are purchased on Mother's Day. In addition to gift giving, phone calls to mothers to give well wishes are keeping phone lines busy across the world. In the United States alone over 122 million phone calls are made on Mother's Day. Peter Rogers, of VIP Communications Company states, "We found that Mother's Day is far and away the most popular day to place phone calls across the world, registering more calling traffic than any other holiday, including New Year's and Valentine's Day." Since its beginning, Mothers day celebrations have grown across the world. It seems as though there are no wrong or right ways to celebrate Mothers Day. Whether you buy a gift, bring her flowers or make a phone call, it doesn't matter. After all, it is the thought that counts.

Saskatchewan farmers are in the field, seeding, harrowing and controlling weeds. Two per cent of the 2015 crop is in the ground. The five-year (2010-2014) average for this time of year is less than one per cent. Producers in the southwest have been seeding for a couple of weeks, and have seven per cent of the crop in. Some areas in the southwest are reporting 20 per cent seeded. Significant rain and snow over the weekend, particularly in areas of the central and northern regions, have delayed seeding and field work. Most producers are hoping to be in the field again at the start of next week. The southeastern region has four per cent seeded. All other regions have very little, if any, crop in the ground to date. Topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 20 per cent surplus, 76 per cent adequate and four per cent short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 11 per cent surplus, 80 per cent adequate and nine per cent short. Pasture conditions are rated as 12 per cent excellent, 53 per cent good, 26 per cent fair and nine per cent poor. Some pastures have excess moisture or are slow to green up. Areas in the eastern regions are reporting excess moisture. Precipitation during the past week varied across the province, with some central regions reporting 75 mm. Areas in the north reported receiving up to 20 cm of snow. Weather has generally been good for spring calving.

Early Childhood Educator Month/Day Dear Editor, May has been recognized by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education as Early Childhood Education Month and May 14 is Early Childhood Educator Appreciation Day. I would like to share why I believe it is important to take the time to recognize our valuable Early Childhood Educators that work so diligently for our children. Many of us, including myself, need to go to work in order to financially maintain our households. This requires us to entrust our most valuable resource, (our children) to others. I am someone who gets the best of both worlds. I work in the same quality early learning environment that my child attends. I see the truly amazing transformations and growth that occurs with all of our children on a daily basis. What is a "quality" early learning environment you may ask? It is a thoughtfully planned, ever changing, and continuously improving environment in which our children grow, explore, and learn. It involves Early Childhood Educators (ECE's), parents, and children working together to ensure that our future generations get the best possible start in life. It is the place that children crawl, dance, build, paint create, eat, sleep, grow and explore in... Some people refer to these places as daycare, child care or early learning... No matter the name-the purpose of all of these places is the same. To educate and nurture young children through the concepts of Play and Exploration. Why are the early years so important? Research shows a child's experiences or lack of experiences in their first months and years of life affects the very structure of the brain as well as the connections and neural pathways that are formed. It is during the early years (birth to age 6) that children's brains form the networks and patterns for brain synapses that will be the foundation for ALL learning in life. This means that if our early years are not filled with many opportunities to strengthen these pathways-our lifelong learning can be greatly and irreversibly diminished. So why do we want people in our community to understand and value the importance of what we do? We would like for our community and province to place more importance on supporting and funding our Early Years programs. We want our professional Early Childhood Educators to be paid as the professionals that they are. Many people do not know that every ECE must complete post-secondary education to be able to work with children. It is our hope that by placing more value on the early education of our children, we will be investing in a brighter and better future. We want our parents and community members to know how much we love what we do, but also to know that we are professionals. Just like teachers in school, we continuously plan and adjust our program by carefully observing and assessing each child's needs, interests, skills and levels of development. We then incorporate the "core" learning concepts into a variety of experiences to ensure that we provide for all styles and modalities of learning. Daycare/Child Care is not babysitting, it is a complex and evolving profession that is extremely involved and sometimes challenging-but completely worth all the effort for those of us who are passionate about what we do.... Sincerely with kindest regards, Elizabeth Lambe-Early Childhood Educator

Weyburn SARCAN ends another busy year Numbers are in for the fiscal year end of the SARCAN Recycling depot in Weyburn. We are pleased to announce that during the past year we recycled 7,274,151 beverage containers with refundable deposits paid out of almost $850,000. This equates to 3,957 containers counted per employee per day. The business day of the year was March 30, 2015 when we set new records for the volumes processed in a single day. Additionally, there were approximately 5,230 liquid litres of paint collected, which was a 15.4% increase over last year. This does not include the paint that is brought in for re-use free of charge to other customers. In terms of End of Life electronics, there were 122,091 lbs of TVs, computers and other components accepted for recycling. For a complete list of all electronic items that SARCAN does and does not accept, as well as information on paint recycling, please visit http://www.sarcan.ca It was a very exciting year as the depot moved into their brand new location at 1800 Ebel Road and began operating from there on November 3, 2014. A grand opening was held on November 21, 2014 with local and provincial dignitaries in attendance. The new space is three times bigger than previously and all employees are very happy with their improved working conditions. Visitors to the depot have all been very impressed as well and feedback has been overwhelmingly positive on the changes. The SARCAN depot is operated by the Weyburn Wor-Kin Shop Corp. and employs approximately 8 full time, 4 part time and several casual employees. The agency is a member of SARC (SK Association of Rehabilitation Centres). The Weyburn depot contributes well over $1 million annually to our local economy through deposit refunds, employee wages and operational overhead. We would like to remind all our customers that if you are using a curbside service to handle your recyclables, please do not put your beverage containers in these as they may not end up in Weyburn but instead could go to other cities to be processed. This will have a direct effect on staffing levels at our local depot. We continue to have available 365 days per year a donation bin which will be relocated to the new location in the coming weeks. We thank the citizens of Weyburn and area for your support of employment for persons with disabilities as well as your continued recycling efforts.

Cultivating a different kind of crop at Art Farm (Submitted) - Presented to you by the grounds crew boardAbraham van der Breggen, John Woodward & Shelley Lueck The sun is peeking out along the eastern skyline of the prairie, pump jacks and the "Five Sisters", the old stand of Northwest poplars along the eastern edge of our property line. A flattened trail of tire tracks leads through the muddy corral bringing one to a pile of NEW corral fence boards. The pile of boards signifies just one of the many preliminary tasks for the now yearly event which is known as ArtFarm. This year the blessed event takes place on June 13 from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
Preparation of the grounds is just one aspect pertaining to the event known as ArtFarm, "Cultivating a different kind of crop". The shop/barn that is now in chaos due to renovations and horses will need to be transformed into a site of product merchandising and refreshment vending. The aforementioned corral will be the site of the children's events such as fence painting, May poling, horse petting, photo taking, bubble - Photo by Tina Hudson

making and horse pie stepping. The corral is also the entrance/ admission site and is home of the ArtFarm area plan map. This year we're thinking of having you minstrelled in by a few local artists to put you into the festive mood! The area site plan will be the place to make a game plan to saunter through the area. Take in the 30 plus art vendors, the live performances of local artists as they perform on the ArtFarm stage and even go on a horse drawn wagon ride through a field of hay. All this will be brought to you by a dedicated board of ArtFarm directors and volunteers who have put in countless hours to provide you an experience in the country to enjoy some precious moments with your loved ones, friends, and family. The end result will have you leaving with a piece of art to remember the occasion which will find just that special spot in your home. Now to get back to the pile of NEW corral fence boards and cut the grass 'cause the sun's up, the day is half over and ArtFarm is just 'round the corner! ArtFarm is set for June 13 from 1:00 - 8:00 p.m. Admission is $2 with kids 6 and under admitted free. Van rides will be available every hour from the City Centre mall.

the peace while the property was retrieved. There was no further incident. On April 28 about 7:20 p.m., a 7 year-old female was walking home from the Souris School playground. In the area of the 600 block of Third Street South she was approached by an unidentified male who spoke to her, telling her to come with him and that he had something to tell her. She was able to flee the area without incident. The person of interest is described as male, nonwhite, bald head, yellow teeth, larger stomach, wearing a short sleeve red shirt, blue sweat pants that were too long, clean shaven, deep voice. Area and neighborhood checks were negative. There have been no subsequent reported incidents.

To all the Moms out there
The view from Timmies
By Helen Waller Mother’s Day is fast approaching and with that comes flowers, cards and jewellery. Millions of dollars are spent, showering Mothers with gifts such as flowers, jewellery, gift cards, housewares and spa services. All of it, more than well deserved. All of these gifts are great and well appreciated. I love getting a bouquet of flowers, a set of earrings (a Hillberg and Burke set in blue would be perfect) or a handmade card. From one mom to another though, the one gift I would truly love to have every mother to receive this Mother's Day, is the gift which cannot be bought. It is the gift of understanding. As a mom, we all understand what another mom is going through, whether they be a working mom, part-time working mom or full-time stay-at-home mom. Every mom knows, the amount of hours you work away from your children is not an indication of the amount of hours they are on your mind. All moms think about their children 365 days a year, 52 weeks a year, seven days a week and 24 hours a day. Now-a-days, with all the things on a woman's mind, most moms wish for one thing - the gift of understanding. The understanding from one mom to another that we are all doing our best. Not only the best we can do compared to other moms, but the best we can do for our children. So, better than any gift from the store is the understanding I would get from my children, other mothers and friends alike. Here's my Mother’s Day list. A list of understanding we wish our children will get! 1. Understand - that we would have loved to be there for your first step, but had to go to work to pay for your first pair of shoes. 2. Understand - that we would have loved to have your first word spoken as mama, but instead trained you to say dada first so he felt special after a long day of work when he came home. 3. Understand - your baby book never got finished because I was so busy getting starting on the next load of laundry. 4. Understand - I laughed hysterically at things just to make it through things that weren't that funny! 5. Understand - that sometimes we were are working so hard trying to get it right, that we got it totally wrong. 6. Understand - that everything we do out of love, sometimes makes you hate us. 7. Understand - that sometimes we over protect you so much that we leave you vulnerable. 8. Understand - that we steer you in the direction of the straight path before you, because we have been down the broken one. 9. Understand - that we have the eyes on the back of our head because you can't always see the path before you. 10. Understand - that every time you hate me more, I will never love you less. Being a mom is tough, it's hard work, but it is also the best job I have ever applied for. The benefits far outweigh the job description. Understand this, I would never change a thing.
By Linda Wegner I admit it. I'm a tea-addict who far prefers to drink with others. Be they friend, constituent, business client or colleague, there are few things I enjoy more than chatting over a cup of brewed tea (with three milk, please). Thursday I broke tradition, however, and ambled into our local Tim Horton's™ alone. Scanning the room I smiled inwardly; the seat I hoped to occupy was empty and waiting for me. (It was that table,
Happy Mother's Day: May Reflections This coming Sunday we celebrate and remember our mothers, reflecting gratefully and appreciatively for the gift of life they have shared with us, in giving us birth, but also the foundation and values that have shaped our character. Our formative years have been influenced by our Moms and where would be without them. For the many untold sacrifices and tears you have cried with and for us, we remain very indebted to you, and we hope you can sense our loving admiration and appreciation for all that you have given us. Perhaps in our fast paced society, we have a tendency to rush through life without paying sufficient attention to those we should be acknowledging and showing greater appreciation and love on a regular basis. So, it is good that we all take this collective day in which we can all remember the gift of our Moms and all that we have done for us and given us. There is no excuse for not remembering our Moms when much our media does such a good job of reminding us ahead of time. Blessed are those Mothers, who have instilled the importance of God and a faith life in their children, for they have not satisfied with providing for the physical needs of their families, but also for their spiritual lives and their journey of faith. When one's relationship with Christ is deeply rooted and established, one is given the most valuable help in living a successful life in terms of establishing and building one's own family, finding work that contributes not simply to earning a livelihood but also makes a difference in the lives of others, and discovering real happiness in life in sharing ourselves, our abilities and our resources with others. The example of mothers' love and sacrifice can help to launch one onto a rich stewardship of living generously and gratefully. With the increased longevity meaning that people are generally living longer than in previous generations, we are blessed with having our mothers and grandmothers living longer into our own lives. This raises special issues when their health begins to decline, and we must accompany them in a different way than before. Quite often, the effects of illness undermine one's sense of purpose and perhaps leave one feeling that they are becoming a burden to others. We need to reassure them that they are not becoming a burden, and that they are still greatly valued and important to us. Christ invites us to show compassion and helpfulness to those in need, when He teaches us, "Insofar as you did this for the least, you did to Me." Respectfully submitted by Fr. Gerry Bauche St. Vincent de Paul Parish

Credit card machines passed between car and store windows with regularity. I made my "medium steeped" last as long as I could. As I sat, I prayed for the stream of humanity crossing my path every day, prayed that my words and actions would encourage others; when God looks, however, He's got both the intent and the power to bless. "Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless Your people…." Deuteronomy 26:15

Even before ordering I walked quickly to the coveted spot and hung my jacket over the chair back; I now had the rights to the territory. As soon as I paid for and procured my milky beverage I settled into my corner and began staring, discretely of course, at Timmie's mobile customers. They came in sedans, big honkin' trucks, SUVs plus new, middle aged and senior versions of nearly every major auto manufacturer. Downright fascinating! Then there were the drivers and occupants.

Saskatchewan introduces new legislation to license user-pay MRI services New legislation being introduced will give patients the ability to choose to pay privately for a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan in Saskatchewan. "Reducing wait times and giving patients more choice over their own care decisions is a high priority for the people of Saskatchewan," Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. "Wait times for many services are still too long. Our government is committed to moving forward with new and innovative solutions to barriers that prevent the very best in patient access and satisfaction." The new legislation will allow for the creation of regulations that will require
private clinics to provide a second scan to a patient on the public wait list at no charge every time a scan is provided to someone who chooses to pay for their own MRI. A physician referral will still be required to obtain an MRI scan. This arrangement is similar to agreements that are in place that allow for the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Worker's Compensation Board (WCB) to purchase MRI scans. In both agreements, the Roughriders and the WCB pay for an additional scan for a patient on the public wait list. "The requirement for a private clinic to cover a second scan on the public wait
list will increase fairness and access," Duncan said. "We are once again leading the way with an innovative, made-in-Saskatchewan approach to reducing wait times." Following passage of the Act and the establishment of regulations, private-pay MRI services could be offered in existing private MRI facilities as early as the spring of 2016. This model will be evaluated after one year in order to ensure it is meeting the goals of improving access to safe, high quality care. As of March 31, 2015, there are an estimated 4,000 - 5,000 patients waiting for MRI ser vices in Saskatchewan.

May proclaimed Speech and Hearing Awareness Month Social Services Minister Donna Harpauer has proclaimed May as Speech and Hearing Awareness Month in Saskatchewan. "I encourage everyone to take part in the early detection and prevention of communication disabilities, one of the fastest-growing disabilities worldwide," Harpauer said. "This month also serves to remind us to become more aware of some of the challenges individuals who experience communication disabilities encounter." Saskatchewan Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services Inc. (SDHHS) have been providing services for people who are Deaf, Deafened and Hard of Hearing for more than 30 years. The primary mission of SDHHS is to promote a world without barriers for people who are deaf, deafened or hard
of hearing. "Infant screening at birth is the best way to lessen the impact of deafness," SDHHS Executive Director Nairn Gillies said. "Early detection and awareness about the benefits of sign language for families will improve language acquisition for children who are born Deaf. Children who are deaf, children with hearing loss, and children with other communication disabilities who learn language early have reduced frustration, improved education, and better connections to their families and friends." "Our government thanks SDHHS for the valuable services they provide to those with speech and hearing disabilities," Harpauer said. "We appreciate their continued work to raise awareness of disability issues impacting
their members." Some of the ser vices SDHHS provide include Sign Language Interpreter and Computerized Notetaker Services, public education about the accommodations people living with these disabilities require, and a discount hearing aid battery program. The organization also provides information and access to technical aids and devices for persons who are deaf, deafened and hard of hearing. The 2015-16 Budget provides more than $23 million to support the inclusion of people with disabilities in the social and economic life of our province. These investments demonstrate the Government of Saskatchewan's commitment to its vision of being the best place in Canada for people with disabilities to live.

Red Wings launch “Back to Black” fundraiser The Weyburn Red Wings are continuing to make great strides in their efforts to become debt free. The team which began the 2014/15 year with a $200,000 deficit, have made significant progress through the season with the tremendous support from the community and were able to erase $130,000 in debt. The team now looks to being “Back in Black” and clearing up the remaining $70,000. The “Back in Black” aims to reach one goal. The Board of Directors believes that if they can erase the deficit of approximately $70,000 by June 1, that will allow
them, for the first time in a long time, to be able start the fiscal calendar year with no deficit. The Weyburn Red Wings are asking current and prospective ticket holders to help out with the current campaign. The team is looking for cash donations in exchange for discounted season tickets over a select period of time. For example, if you donate $500, you will receive $150 in credit towards your season tickets each year for three years, with the remaining $50 credit applied in the fourth year. There are several different options available depending on donation amount. Al-
though there was some initial concern this would decrease the season ticket revenues in general, increasing ticket sales by just 70 new members would offset the decline in revenue. The Red Wings have been an integral part of the Weyburn community since they were first established in 1961. The club is looking foward to erasing the current debt, hitting the ice and focusing all their energy on raising a banner, not funds. If you have any questions about this program , please call the Red Wing Office at (306)842-2212 or stop by the office Monday - Friday, 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
