Saskatchewan brings focus towards awareness of missing persons The third annual Missing Persons Week will be held in Saskatchewan from May 3 to May 9. The opening ceremony will occur at the TC Douglas Building, 3475 Albert Street, Regina on May 4 at 9:30 a.m. This year’s theme is "A Community's Response to Missing Persons". The week will highlight what happens when a missing persons report is filed, the work of police investigators, search and rescue volunteers, and various support services like police-based Victim Services. The week will also review the myths around missing persons cases and the reasons why people go missing and what can be done to prevent people from going missing. Each day throughout the week, a different aspect of the the investigation process will be featured. From Monday through Friday, the following topics will be covered: What to do when someone goes missing, the role of police and search and rescue volunteers, the role of community agencies, the role of communities themselves and possible outcomes of missing persons investigations. Last year, the Saskatchewan Provincial Partnership Committee for Missing Persons recognized the importance of providing families with a way to acknowledge their loved ones and decided to plant an oak tree, which in turn was named the Saskatchewan Missing Persons Oak Tree. The PPCMP is a collaboration of government, police, community-based organizations and First Nations and Metis representatives which work to improve the response to missing persons cases in Saskatchewan. The oak tree was chosen because of its longevity and symbolism of strength, courage and endurance. The tree has been planted in Wascana Park, Regina, and continues to grow. The tree had an official dedication last September.
Lighting up the sky
Family members in attendance at the ceremony placed written notes to their loved ones at the base of the tree as well as took turns adding a shovel of dirt as they planted it. At the ceremony, excerpts from "The Sacred Tree" by Judi Bopp were shared. The sacred tree was dedicated as follows. “For all the people of the earth, the Creator has planted a Sacred Tree under which they all may gather, and there find healing, power, wisdom and security. The roots of this tree spread deep into the body of Mother Earth. Its branches reach upward like hands praying to Father Sky. The fruits of this tree are the good things the Creator has given to the people: teachings that show the path to love, compassion, generosity, patience, wisdom, justice, courage, respect, humility and many other wonderful gifts.” Currently plans are being made to develop the area to include a fully finished park-like surrounding. This will include brick paths and a seating area where people can spend time honouring their missing loved ones. The PPCMP's ultimate goal is to “work towards a future that ensures that when people go missing, there is a full response that mobilizes necessary participants and that recognizes the equal value in every life.” Since current statistics have been documented in Saskatchewan, it is recorded that 123 people have gone missing in Saskatchewan. A total of eight human remains are unidentified. For any more information regarding Saskatchewan’s Missing Persons, visit the website at www.sacp.ca/misssing. The website also contains information regarding last year,s Missing Persons Week, which includes statistics, facts and videos pertaining to all areas of Missing Persons cases such as as parental abductions and run-aways.

Police remind dog owners of city bylaw On April 25, the Weyburn Police Service responded to an urgent call for assistance at a local bar. A number of individuals were reported to be fighting. The incident was over on police arrival and is still under investigation. Also on April 25, the Weyburn PS received a report from a concerned citizen regarding a possible impaired driver. The vehicle and 25 year-old male driver were located and the driver was arrested and charged for impaired driving. He also had an outstanding warrant which was executed. Further on April 25, the Weyburn PS received a call regarding a vehicle that appeared to have been abandoned and which had significant damage to it. As a result of the investigation, a 16 year-old male has been charged with driving at a speed greater than reasonable and safe. On April 24, the Weyburn Police Service were called to observe and deal with traffic flow problems being caused by picketers at the ongoing labour dispute within the public school district. We wish to remind all pedestrians that it is unlawful to interfere with other lawful users of the road and violators could be subject to receiving a ticket. The Weyburn PS is investigating a report of a sexual assault. The victim and suspect are known to each other. This is believed to be an isolated incident and police have no ongoing public safety concerns. The matter is under investigation. On April 23, Weyburn business was the victim of the theft of a portion of an exterior sign. On April 22, the Weyburn Police Service received a complaint about a potential on-line fraud in relation to items being offered for sale on a Weyburn area Facebook group. The matter is still under investigation. Also on April 22, the Weyburn PS received a report of a business having been the victim of graffiti. The matter is still under investigation. Further on April 22, the Weyburn Police Service received a report relating to barking dogs. Under the terms of the local bylaw, dogs are not to be barking for any reason. In order for police to take enforcement action either the dog has to be actively barking when police go to the location, or the witness needs to be prepared to provide a formal statement and go to court if necessary. We urge people to make certain that the dog they are accusing of barking is actually the one that is barking. Recent complaints and investigations around the city have shown that due to how sound travels the actual violating dog was at times many houses away from where the complainant thought the dog was barking. On April 21, a vehicle was reported to have been observed doing donuts on property near the Comp football field. As a result of the complaint and subsequent investigation, a 15 year-old male has been charged with mischief under the criminal code and will be making a court appearance. Also on April 21, the Weyburn PS received a report of a suspicious vehicle parked by Heritage Village. The vehicle was located and a 21 year-old male and 23 year-old male were found to have been parked and had finished smoking marihuana. Due to the evidence having literally 'gone up in smoke', no enforcement action was able to be taken.

Screwdrivers and stilettos
Teeming hordes and missing hair
By Helen Waller I love shoes. All types of shoes. My husband, like most, does not quite understand the love affair I have with them. Over the years, I have built up quite the fabulous shoe collection and it is currently walking its' way over to his side of the closet. It has officially become a problem. Taking up space in someone's side of the closet is sort of like invading foreign territory unarmed. Sure, you didn't mean any real harm, but nonetheless, you aren't where you are supposed to be. I figured I had better work my way over there slowly by sneaking in a pair every week or so. I was hoping he wouldn't even notice. So, what are a few pairs of my shoes snuck in beside his going to harm? He has never made note of these shoes when I wear them, so I am feeling pretty safe. Well, as the saying goes, "Never say never". He NOTICED. Not only did he notice every single pair but he began counting them. It's safe to say, he hit double digits. That's when I lost him. I can't really blame him. He did grow up with four brothers, who he says, shared three pairs of shoes. This was a man who wasn't really familiar with girls or shoes, let alone the two put together. So, I tried to explain. DIFFERENT SHOES were for DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I may as well have been speaking a different language, because he wasn't getting it. He simply could not understand why I needed more than two pairs. A 'work' pair and a 'good' pair just like him. I retreated back to my side of the closet. Out of sight, out of mind. I figured it was probably best to lay low for awhile and come up with a different plan of attack. That's when it happened. I decided to surprise my husband and head out to the farm to have lunch with him while he worked in the shop. (I have just the perfect pair of shoes for that kind of occasion). Upon arrival, I spent a few minutes waiting around while he was fixing his sprayer with a friend. They started discussing the recent shoe dilemma in our house. Both of them became resident experts in a matter of five minutes. It was two against one. That's when I noticed he had a whole lot of tools. I mean, a LOT of tools. I opened one drawer and noticed several screwdrivers. Screwdrivers of all shapes and sizes. Duplicates as well. In fact there were so many screwdrivers, I lost count. What on earth would a man do with all these screwdrivers? So, I decided to ask him. "Honey, why do you need all these screwdrivers? Most of them are the same." His answer was, "Well, different screwdrivers serve different purposes." My answer, "Kind of like my shoes, then?" The men got quiet. Usually this is when you have your foot in your mouth. I wonder if they have a pair of shoes for that.
By Linda Wegner Last week I had at least one of those days when it seemed that more went wrong than went right. Now nothing constituted an earth-shattering event, there was just an accumulation of little things that triggered a few too many "Aagghh" moments. Even as I scribe this weekly article I'm asking myself, "Really Linda,

Love your neighbour In Matthew 5, Jesus quotes an Old Testament command and refers to it as the second greatest command that God has given us: "Love your neighbour as yourself." It's pretty important to Jesus and His followers, as this phrase is repeated exactly the same 9 times in the New Testament. Have you noticed how loving our neighbours take on a new "flavour" in the Springtime? Over the winter, we don't see each other much, nor do we have many opportunities for grievances - unless they won't clear off their sidewalk. But when the weather warms up, suddenly the dogs start barking, kids start playing, lawnmowers start up JUST when you are trying to sleep in. What makes it even harder to love our neighbours is that usually we don't have much in common with them, other than location. I have good neighbours, but we're all at different stages of life. My immediate neighbours don't have teenagers, don't go to the same church, have different schedules than we do, and different recreational habits as well. How exactly am I supposed to love people that I have so little in common with? What does it mean to love them "as myself" if they don't like the same things I like? I would suggest that it starts by not seeing them as enemies. That's kind of basic, but often overlooked. If something irritates me about them, or they "cross a line", it always helps if I start by assuming that their intent is NOT to destroy my happiness! A next step would be to practice forgiveness. The Lord's Prayer says it pretty clearly: "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." Let's work through neighbourly conflicts with an attitude of forgiveness in our hearts. Jesus also gives us good advice for how to begin resolving conflicts. What about simply TALKING to our neighbours? "If your brother or sister sins against you, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you." Do we really need to call the police over every annoyance? Maybe if we begin the conversation by asking nicely, many of our disputes could be avoided. And if everything goes south, and they turn out to actually be our enemies? Jesus has some advice for us there too: "But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you…" I love living in Weyburn. I am grateful for my neighbours. We all work hard to keep things friendly and fair between us. But even if it gets hard, I have some good steps I can take to work things through. Think about it, Pastor Jay Mowchenko, Weyburn Free Methodist Church

like me, often dealt with frustration that way? A rebuff from one person can become a churning emotional abyss where we figure the whole world is against us. One mistake or wrong decision can make us feel like we've messed up beyond redemption. Or those times when a simple task turns into a maze of convoluted responsibilities beyond our power to fulfill. The more I learn of the sustaining grace of God, the more I realize His care extends far beyond the teeming hordes and the sea to shining sea to the tiniest detail of my life. "But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. (Luke 12:7) Thanks, Lord. I'll stop pulling them out!
nothing was that serious. Are those times really worth writing about?" I figure they are for two reasons. First because I'm not the only one who finds themselves in that predicament at times but more importantly, because it is my and your reaction that really counts. My thoughts led me to a version of a very old question: How many [insert group] does it take to screw in a light bulb? As a writer and recent recipient of that pile of irritants, I love this response to the question: How many writers does it take to screw in the proverbial light bulb? Nothing less than a vast and teeming horde stretching from sea to shining sea! That's what I call a perfect example of exaggeration, the pure and simple amplification of a challenge.Have you,

Although one medium avocado contains 320 calories, these are high-quality calories — from good fat — so don’t hesitate to eat them even if you’re watching your weight. They have protein, Àbre, vitamin E, vitamin and several minerals, but are most revered for their good fats. The anti-inÁammatory beneÀts of avocado’s healthy fats may prevent everything from joint stiffness to heart disease. Also, if you add avocados or other healthy fat, like that in olives, to a salad, research shows that you absorb much more of two important antioxidants — lycopene and beta-caroten — that are found in the salad’s vegetables (and therefore increase the body’s ability to use them). Remember, “You are what you absorb, not just what you eat.” Mix and serve. Have a healthy party . . . and then have a siesta.

while when pleasure is on the menu. A mother's heart lights up with love when a child asks her for a small favour, even if her active parenting days are far in the past. A senior can hold off the wearying effects of Father Time by sharing family stories, singing a few favourite songs, and sharing some old family recipes. These heartfelt moments bind families together and create unforgettable memories for all concerned. These women have done so much to keep their families functioning and well over the years, as much as they were able to. So, let's give mothers the gratitude they deserve on this special day.

Saskatchewan Colleges contribute millions to provincial economy Saskatchewan's Colleges are contributing millions of dollars and thousands of jobs to the provincial economy, according to a new study by Praxis Research/Strategy. The Colleges commissioned the study to assess the economic impact of the Colleges' students, graduates, and operations on the provincial economy. "This is the first time in a long while that we have looked at this data as a group," said Dion McGrath, President and CEO of Southeast College and spokesperson for SaskColleges. "It's a significant contribution that our Colleges make, and we are consistently doing so across the whole province." The study concluded that College students, graduates and operations generate a significant economic contribution to the provincial economy. The data (collected over the course of the 2012--?13 fiscal year) shows the impact of all the Colleges, province wide. Altogether, the Colleges provided in 2012--?13: • 4,041 jobs within the province; • $367.4 million in provincial gross domestic product (GDP); • $173.2 million in new wages and salaries (included in GDP in Saskatchewan); and • $88.5 million in federal, provincial and municipal government revenues. "Saskatchewan's Colleges are consistently and efficiently making the most of provincial government investment to train learners for the labour market and educational needs," said McGrath. "The results provide evidence of the impact Colleges have throughout the province." Through partnerships with other post--?secondary institutions, Saskatchewan's Colleges deliver a variety of career, vocational and academic programs to meet the economic needs of the province. Colleges also serve their communities by offering business, safety, industrial and personal interest courses.

$6.7 million to help families save for post-secondary education Saskatchewan families have received more than $6.7 million from the Saskatchewan Advantage Grant for Education Savings (SAGES) program since the program was announced. More than 26,000 children in the province are now SAGES recipients. "Saving for post-secondary education is a priority for Saskatchewan families, and I am happy that so many children will benefit from SAGES," Advanced Education Minister Kevin Doherty said. "SAGES helps parents plan for their children's future and encourages access to post-secondary education." With four new SAGES providers recently added, there are now 15 financial institutions offering SAGES with another eight pledged to join the program soon. Through SAGES, the Government of Saskatchewan provides a grant of 10 per cent on financial contributions made since January 1, 2013, into a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) to a maximum of $250 per child per year. To be eligible for SAGES, the following requirements must be met: • the child is a resident of Saskatchewan when the RESP contribution is made; • the child is named as a beneficiary of an eligible RESP; • the contribution is made on or before December 31 of the year the child turns 17; and • contributions must be made at a participating financial institution. "We have seen significant growth in the number of families enrolled in SAGES since its launch, and the numbers continue to increase," Doherty said. "SAGES is an important part of our government's Plan for Growth and our commitment to quality, affordable post-secondary education. SAGES is one more way that we're making Saskatchewan the best place to live, work and raise a family." More information about SAGES can be found at www.saskatchewan.ca/live/education-learning-and-child-care/saving-for-post-secondary-education.

Saskatchewan's 2015 Big Game Draw opens online Saskatchewan's big game draw is now open online and hunters have until midnight June 2 to submit their online application. Early applications are recommended. The big game draw is a transparent and equitable method of allocating a limited number of hunting licences to Saskatchewan residents. This year's draw includes licences for elk, moose, either-sex mule deer and antlerless mule deer. "Saskatchewan's spectacular natural resources provide ample recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts, including big game hunting," Environment Minister Scott Moe said. "This year, the big game draw moves to our province's automated hunting, angling and trapping licence (HAL) system. I encourage all hunters to apply early to ensure adequate time to familiarize themselves with the new process." The 2015 big game draw will be administered through
HAL, including submitting, reviewing and updating an application, checking pool status history and purchasing a draw licence. These changes help to streamline and simplify the process. Customers can also verify their residency status
through a new online feature. It is recommended that Saskatchewan customers use this feature to verify their residency status before attempting to purchase a licence, or apply for the big game draw so that any errors in their information can
be resolved. Customers may contact the Active Network call centre at 1-855-8484773 or a ministry office for assistance with issues related to their account information. Saskatchewan residents who are sponsoring a Cana-
dian resident in the Canadian resident white-tailed deer draw must have a HAL account. If hunters are successful in the big game draw, the appropriate licence will be available for purchase on their HAL account. Hunt-
ers can simply select the licences they want to purchase and complete the transaction. For more information about the big game draw and HAL, visit www.environment.gov.sk.ca/ licences.
15U girls finish fifth at provincials (Submitted) The Weyburn Volleyball Club 15U team attended provincials in Saskatoon on the April 25 and 26. The Weyburn team was up and down in their round robin games. They won their first match of the tournament against Saskatoon JCVC Dynamite but ran into some turbulence losing to Swift Current and Saskatoon Smash back to back. The girls rebounded, winning their final round robin game against Lloydminster. Following a 2-2 start, Weyburn played a crossover game to get into tier one. They played a tough oppo-
nent in Regina QCVC Royal Black, but were able to come out victorious. Sunday morning was the quarterfinal, where the girls played Saskatoon JCVC
Fire. Weyburn had not won a game against this team all year, but came out ready to play. The two teams traded close wins in the first two games, setting up a third
game. JCVC pulled out to a quick lead in the third and never looked back, handing Weyburn a 15-9 loss. Not wanting to end the tournament on a losing note,
Weyburn went on to win their last two games against Lanigan and Moose Jaw. This was a great result, with the girls finishing in fifth place in a 39 team field.

14U volleyball team takes bronze at provincials The Weyburn Volleyball Club 14U Black team attended provincials in Warman/Saskatoon on April 17-19 weekend. In round robin play, the girls were able to finish a perfect 4-0, defeating teams from Regina, Swift Current, Moose
Jaw and Yorkton. Next they played a crossover match to determine if they were playing in Tier 1 or Tier 2. In a tightly contested match with Oxbow, the team was able to emerge victorious.
The quarter-final match versus Kerrobert was a back and forth affair. Kerrobert took the first game and Weyburn won the second setting up the all important third game. The Weyburn team took advantage of their opportunities and propelled themselves to the semi-final. In the semi-final game, the girls took on a tough team from Regina. Again, Weyburn traded wins in the first two games. The third game decided who would go on to play for gold. Both teams performed at a high level, trading points as the game went on. In the end, Regina took the third game by a score of 15-12, sending Weyburn to the bronze medal match. Not wanting to go home empty-handed, the girls recovered from a heart breaker semi-final and were ready play the Saskatoon Smash. Saskatoon looked disappointed to be playing for third and Weyburn brought their "A" game, so it was a quick 25-16, 25-13 win. "Weyburn finished the season with an excellent showing, finishing top three in a 40 team field," commented head coach Dustin Satre.

WCS students participate in NASP
As the Weyburn Beavers get closer to the first pitch of the season, the push to get everything ready gets stronger and stronger. The need for billet families becomes crucial, the amount of volunteers needed increases and the energy at the ballpark builds. They say, "It takes a village to raise a child", but the same can be said about a successful sports team. Nothing is possible without the help and efforts of the community as a whole. Whether you open your home to a player, sell some 50/50s at a couple games, or even come to one or every game. If you are interested in volunteering, please visit Beavers website at www.weyburnbeavers.com/volunteers to find all the various opportunities.
