“They do not adapt technology simply for the sake of innovation. They use it to make better decisions, improve efficiency, and care for their land over the long term,” said Osborn. “Direct seeding, minimum tillage, variable rate fertilizer, and seeding, soil probes, on-farm weather stations, and satellite imagery all support a practical, informed, and sustainable approach to crop production.” “Stewardship is central to their operation. They recognize that caring for the land today is essential to ensuring that future generations have the same opportunity to farm it tomorrow. Their goal is not only to continue what previous generations built, but to create the opportunity for a fifth and sixth generation to carry it forward.” Continued on page 3

grounded in family, community, stewardship, and commitment to leaving the land stronger for those who follow,” said Osborn. “Their impact extends well beyond the farm,” added Osborn. “Members of the family serve on preschool and daycare boards, support minor sports, contribute to municipal government, volunteer with the fire department, and provide leadership to local medical services. They have also welcomed youth from Ranch Ehrlo to experience rural life, agriculture, and the outdoors firsthand.” “Their commitment to professional development is equally strong. Family members have pursued agriculture education at the University of Saskatchewan and earned professional agrologist and certified crop advisor designations.”

Submitted A community-focused market will be held at the Wildlife Federation building on Saturday, November 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Weyburn Artisan Farmers’ Market is hosted by a trio of hard working artisans: Kellie, journeyman pastry chef from Batter Up Bakeshop; Majesta, a trained herbalist from Back to Earth and Nature; and Jaime, beekeeper from All the Buzz Honey and Hive Products. Their goal is to create a back-to-grassroots, consistent and reliable market, supporting local and surrounding quality growers and makers. The Wildlife Federation building (old South Weyburn school) was chosen as the venue as it is close to town, very well maintained and can accommodate the artisan market all year round. The market will be held indoors in the colder months. In spring, they will move to the picturesque grounds to be outside. Some fun evening and special markets will be announced for the new year. There is never a general admission fee to attend the Artisan Farmers’ Market. Canada Post Canadian Publications Mail Sales Product Agreement No. 40069240 Publication Mail Registration No. 09093

‘Come From Away’ to be performed at Weyburn Comp.
Sabrina Kraft Weyburn Review We y b u r n Comp School’s senior drama students are preparing to take the stage with their upcoming production of the hit musical ‘Come From Away’. Based on the remarkable true story of what happened when 38 planes carrying thousands of passengers were diverted to Gander, Newfoundland, on September 11, 2001, the musical celebrates the kindness, compassion and generosity shown by the people of a small community during an extraordinary time. “My favourite part about the show is that it is based on a real situation and shows all the different sides of what was happening and how it impacted people differently,” said Jersey Buehler, Grade 12 student. Her role is Bonnie Harris, the manager of the Gander Animal Shelter who coordinated the rescue and care of animals trapped on the planes. “Even though it was such a negative situation, the musical shows the positive sides that come out of it. It also shows the relationships that happen and the people that bonded because of the
situation, even though it was super sad and a horrible accident,” she added. “My favourite thing about the musical is how it portrays all the different cultures and languages that came together in Gander. It also shows how different beliefs can clash together, but in the end they all became friends,” said Haroun Joe Mathew, a Grade 12 student. His role as Claude, the overworked, lovable Mayor of Gander, who finds himself suddenly thrust into a global crisis “The musical shows a pivotal point in the world’s history, which changed people’s beliefs. I like that it highlights all the different aspects of what happened on that day,” he added. “My favourite part is that the musical shows what people actually went through during that event, that it shows the losses and how people were worried about their loved ones,” said Mataya Bowerin, a Grade 12 student. Her role is Captain Beverley Bass, a real-life pioneer who was the first female captain for American Airlines,and was piloting one of the planes that had to be diverted.
“My favourite part of the musical is that is not just entertaining, but also informative about what happened and the sorrows that it caused people,” said Austin Cascagnette, a Grade 12
Submitted Harvest has wrapped up across Saskatchewan, with 99 per cent complete and only a few acres of laterseeded crops remaining in the field. Flax is 93 per cent harvested, while canola is 98 per cent harvested. Despite the challenges experienced this year, crop yields were consistent with 10-year averages and while many crops graded in the top-quality categories, some downgrading did occur due
to late-season rain and pest activity. While most producers were able to finish harvest, rainfall, frost and humid conditions created challenges during the final stages of the season. Producers in the southeast were generally satisfied with crop quality this year. Adequate soil moisture during seeding provided favourable conditions for crop establishment, while timely rainfall throughout the
growing season supported crop development. As a result, yields were above the regional 10-year averages. Although late-season precipitation affected crop grades in some areas, the overall impact on crop quality was limited. Reporters characterized the season as an average to slightly above-average year for crop production in the southeast. Crop yields in the southeast region were slightly

20 at 7 p.m., with a Sunday matinee on November 22 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for students and seniors and are available at the WCS office.

below the provincial averages for most crops. However, soybeans, triticale, field peas and canary seed reported yields above their respective provincial averages. Most crops graded within the top two categories, indicating good overall crop quality across the southeast. Late-season rainfall affected some earlier-seeded crops and contributed to quality degradation in certain crop types. Producers seeded less winter wheat compared to last year, while fall rye recorded a nine per cent decline in seeded acreage. Silage yields in the southeast averaged 7.31 tons per
acre. Regionally, dryland hay yields are: 1.39 tons per acre for alfalfa; 1.49 tons per acre for brome hay; 1.09 tons per acre for tame hay; 1.27 tons per acre for baled forage; and 2.05 tons per acre for greenfeed. The southeast reported some of the best pasture conditions in the province this fall. Currently, 22 per cent of pastures are rated in excellent condition, 52 per cent in good condition, 16 per cent in fair condition, eight per cent in poor condition and two per cent in very poor condition. Most areas in the southeast have adequate topsoil
moisture levels heading into the winter. Cropland topsoil moisture is: 10 per cent surplus; 87 per cent adequate; and three per cent short. Hayland topsoil moisture is: six per cent surplus; 90 per cent adequate; and four per cent short. Pasture topsoil moisture is: three per cent surplus; 92 per cent adequate; and five per cent short. Following the completion of harvest, producers have been busy drying grain, spraying weeds, applying fertilizer and servicing equipment. Livestock producers have been selling cattle, baling straw and hauling bales.
Submitted Canada’s news publishers welcome measures to support journalism in Budget 2026. The Budget renews the temporarily enhanced 35 per cent Canadian Journalism Labour Credit rate for two more years and makes permanent the Local Journalism Initiative, providing $134 million over four years, starting in 2027-28, and $41 million ongoing. “The Canadian Journalism Labour Tax Credit and the Online News Act support information and cultural sovereignty and are the two most important federal policies to sustain
and grow newsroom employment and investment across Canada. The Local Journalism Initiative gets badly needed journalistic boots on the ground in rural, remote, and underserved communities – ensuring that local stories get told and are shared across Canada,” said Paul Deegan, president and chief executive officer of News Media Canada. “Together, these policies ensure Canadians have access to fact-based, factchecked information, and we are masters of our own destiny in a turbulent world where foreign hyperscalers dictate terms unilaterally
and appropriate copyrightprotected news content without consent, credit or compensation, while algorithms foment misinformation and disinformation.” “When it comes to sustaining news media, Canada is doing a great many things right through smart policies,” said Stig Ørskov, CEO, World Association of News Publishers (WAN-IFRA). “Canadians understand that democratic values depend on an informed and engaged public, and trusted journalism is a prerequisite for people having the facts and context to make informed decisions.”

They were very active in the community and passed that down to us.” “We believe the wellbeing of our farm is in relation to the well-being of our community, and that’s why we’ve taken positions of boards for recreation, daycare, EMS, and farm,” added Lynch. “Our neighbours have driven and inspired our crew with their dedication to agriculture excellence in the fields and in boardrooms, with many neighbours holding provincial crop board positions. We are honoured to be awarded with the Golden Sheaf tonight alongside some of those neighbours who’ve been here before us,” said Chansi Bourke. “It would be rare to come across a farmer lacking horror stories from this harvest. All of us endured a tough harvest with many weather delays, poor-quality crops and breakdowns,” added Bourke. “We rely on those stories to remind us in these years that we aren’t alone,

Weyburn council revises landfill hours/monthly fees
Sara Parks SaskToday.ca Weyburn’s landfill will operate seven days a week during summer months after city administration revised the Refuse Bylaw to accommodate council’s request. Council gave the bylaw third reading during its regular meeting on October 26, after previously delaying it for two weeks. Keeping the landfill open on Sundays came after councillors received feedback from community members on the proposed reduced summer hours that would have closed the site on Sundays and statutory holidays.
“I just want to thank the director of engineering for going back to her staff and recognizing the fact that not everybody has a chance to get out to the landfill on Saturdays,” said Councillor Laura Morrissette. “Sometimes it is just a Sunday they have available.” Likewise, Councillor Kellie Sidloski thanked Director of Engineering Renee Cugnet for taking the feedback and working with council after its last meeting. Under the bylaw, the landfill will remain open seven days a week in the summer, and six days a week in the winter, with minor adjustments to open-
ing and closing times. Summer hours (April 1 - October 31) are 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday to Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays and statutory holidays, except Easter Sunday and Good Friday. Winter hours (November 1 - March 31) are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday to Saturday, closed Sundays and statutory holidays. The bylaw also updates definitions including apartment block, building refuse (construction and demolition waste), bulk refuse and yard waste, and sets rate increases through 2029. Monthly environmental fees rise from $5.75 in 2026 to $6 by 2029,
while the landfill decommissioning fee goes from $1.75 to $2. The recycling
fee stays at $6.45. There will be a review of rates in 2027.

WPS respond to collision, pedestrian struck by vehicle The Weyburn Police Service responded to 91 calls for service from November 1 to 8, 2026. Notable incidents Theft from a vehicle: Police received a report on November 8 that someone had gone through a vehicle parked at the Whitecap Resources rink. The vehicle owner reported that cash and a wallet were missing. Surveillance footage later showed a suspect using the victim’s debit card at a McDonald’s in Weyburn. The investigation is ongoing. Collision with a parked vehicle: Police responded to a collision on Coteau Avenue near 17th Street on November 7. The driver told officers she had fallen asleep before striking a parked vehicle. EMS assessed and cleared the driver, who passed a roadside sobriety test. Her vehicle was towed, and she received a ticket for driving without due care and attention. Police also responded to three other collisions during the week in which driver inattention was identified as a factor and vehicles had to be towed. The Weyburn Police Service reminds motorists to avoid driving when tired, even on short trips. If you become drowsy while driving, pull over somewhere safe. Pedestrian struck by a vehicle: Police responded to a collision involving a pedestrian during the morning hours of November 6. A driver travelling west on Souris Avenue turned south onto Fifth Street and struck a pedestrian after failing to stop for
him. EMS transported the pedestrian to hospital for treatment of his injuries. The driver was charged with failing to stop for a pedestrian. Community reminder on residential evictions The Weyburn Police Service reminds residents that police do not carry out residential evictions. In Saskatchewan, the Office of Residential Tenancies (ORT) handles disputes between landlords and tenants. If a tenant must be physically removed under a Writ of Possession, a sheriff with the Court of King’s Bench enforces the writ. • For tenants. If you receive an eviction notice, read it carefully, keep a copy and contact the ORT promptly to ask how to dispute the notice and what deadlines apply. If you receive a hearing notice, attend the hearing and have your lease, payment records and relevant communications available. • For landlords. If a tenant remains in the rental unit after the tenancy ends, apply to the ORT for an Order of Possession. If the ORT issues a Writ of Possession, contact the Sheriff’s Office to arrange enforcement. For help with a residential tenancy matter, call the Office of Residential Tenancies at 1-888-215-2222. If someone other than a sheriff attempts to forcibly remove you from your rental home, contact police. Call 911 if there is an immediate threat to anyone’s safety.

Norm Park/SaskToday.ca Okay, we’re going to or is that gonna talk about embellishments today, just for fun. Embellishment usually shows up as a light hearted contribution within a “nothing serious” conversation as the visitors may be prone to enhance their story with a little addition that has no stake in truthfulness, but makes for a good giggle or chuckle along the way. But embellishment can take on more serious tones when it’s attached to serious topics. For instance, I’m sure a host of sales people have attempted a little embellishment on occasion in an attempt to sell products. But they can’t go too far afield since the product they pump will eventually expose truth. How about in education, social service organizations or athletic fields? If embellishment is found in the medical and scientific environment I believe that would be more than a little frightening. Comedians have the license to embellish because that’s what they do for a living and we expect it while an experimental medical scientist embellishing the results or possibilities of an experiment or study would soon lose their job I’m guessing. I have read of such adventures in that world and generally speaking the embellisher has spent a few years in the big house, if ya know what I mean. Sports? Well, that’s in the eye of the beholder and time lines. The best example I see readily is within my own experiment. I once kicked an 18-yard field goal as a Grade 11 student/player. I was the team’s regular convert kicker and that usually resulted in about a 75 per cent success rate with some lame duck footballs barely clearing the crossbar. But after pleading with our coach for a couple of years, he finally relented. The game was well in hand and down to the last few minutes. I could do no harm. But now, in the retelling, I realized that any crackpot high school player could make an 18 yarder, so over the years that modest accomplishment has become a 28 or 29 yard field goal, soon to be 30. Embellishment at its finest and most innocent since if the truth be known, no one has ever asked me anything about my football career, nor expressed much interest, nor should they, let alone what I might have done on that battlefield to promote my athletic image. Nada. So when I do get an opportunity to talk football, I usually relate how I made that 28 yarder with room to spare. It’s a partial lie, but a harmless one. No lives are endangered in my retelling. And now, dear reader I have fully confessed and feel a big burden lifted from my shoulders. Ya, sure. Maybe? Embellishment often happens in politics and the stakes are higher there then they are on any retelling of football feats. Politicians, the well-meaning ones, are usually given a little leeway on the
embellishment scale just to make their point to the panting public. But their margin of error is limited. There are lines not be crossed and if the embellishment has been elevated to the height of an outright lie, then, that politician is pretty well toasted, unless of course, the last name is Trump. He gets the green light because he has made a career out of embellishment that turns into lying and his world of never having lost at anything whether it be elections, golf or interior decorating. He’s the winner and you are required to believe him, or you lose your job. It’s very simple. In Donnie Deflector world no one is capable of smothering the hubris. But now the American table has been at least half turned with the convincing Democratic Party wins in both the Congressional and Senatorial sectors, leaving no room for doubt. Of course the Deflector still has the Presidential power of veto and executive orders, but his tour of pure autocracy is over. Of course the truth will be challenged by the White House interior and exterior decorator but it appears as if the actual, real life voters have determined that the Deflector’s role must be diminished. On the surface on Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, the Deflector issued a statement that he would willingly accept the results. But that was a few hours ago so don’t expect that scenario to unfold. Those who know the Deflector and his propensity for self-promotion know the challenges will surface and be invoked by his leftover servants. You see Deflector never loses. That’s just a part of his overall problem of cognitive disability. We can expect all kinds of political and legal messiness to ensue. So dear reader, shall we just put some focus on our home and native land for a few days while things settle down to a low boil down south? We have political issues to settle, such as data centres and AI developments. For instance I was not aware earlier that there are no existing rules, guidelines, regulations or binding legislations in place in our political and legal environment to actually control the development of AI and the sudden huge surge in data centre fields of play. That is frightening. So far the only lawful hurdles to clear seem to be local RM, town or city councils. When the big tech giants get the green light in the local council chamber, it seems the field is clear to pump in the billions and take over sections of land to build big noisy power gulpers. And that isn’t an embellishment. It appears to be the existing truth to this point. So maybe we don’t have to focus on what U.S. candidate won in Alaska or Alabama. We should maybe set our sights on our home front and what kind of embellishment we can accommodate this week to ease the stress, like sketchy high school field goal attempts. That’s a lot less damaging.

Kettle Campaign collects donations for Salvation Army
Sabrina Kraft Weyburn Review As the Christmas season approaches, the familiar sound of bells and the sight of red kettles will signal the return of The Salvation Army’s annual Christmas Kettle Campaign. Each year, this much-loved tradition brings communities together through the spirit of generosity, kindness and compassion. The donations help The Salvation Army provide food, toys, emergency assistance and other essential support to individuals and families in need throughout the year. “We are going to have two kettles set up again this year, at WalMart and the Wholesale Club,” said Ron-
za Reynard, Community Ministries Director for the Salvation Army’s Weyburn and Estevan locations. The kettles will start on November 26 and will continue until the week of Christmas. Kettle shifts are available on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Two new dates will be added this year on Monday, December 21 and Tuesday, December 22. Shifts are usually two hours. Interested volunteers can contact Analyn at the Weyburn Salvation Army to sign up for a shift. Companies or non-profit groups that request a whole day can arrange their own schedule for the shifts. “Volunteering for a kettle shift is a great way for
the high school students to get their volunteer hours,” added Reynard. “It is fairly easy to volunteer, you just sit at the kettle, greet people, and make eye contact with people, and just say thank you or Merry Christmas.” Reynard added that it is important to still greet people who are unable to donate. “Sometimes, it is difficult for community members to donate and we understand that. We don’t expect every person who walks through the door of these locations is going to make a donation.” The goal for the Kettle Campaign is to raise $15,000 this year. At the same time, mailout donation requests also are sent out to communities
in the area, and the goal is to raise $131,000. The total goal this year is $146,000 from both programs. “It is up a little bit from last year, but so is the demand and the cost of food,” said Reynard. It is important to note that the Salvation Army purchases their food locally, and when prices rise at the grocery store, so do their costs. “It is important to know that we’re trying to support the community itself, the community that’s giving to us all the time year-round. Weyburn is very generous,” added Reynard. “We’re very confident those are good goals that we should be able to reach this year. We continue to support the community the best way we can.”

Direct to Smelter - Precious Metals Roadshow comes to Weyburn Advertorial
Voyager Gold will be coming to Weyburn during a roadshow making its way through Saskatchewan. You can bring your gold, silver & coins to the Royal Canadian Legion #47 between 9am and 4pm each day. No appointment is required. The President of Voyager Gold is Ethan
Semple, a precious metals buyer. Semple’s family roots grow deep in Saskatchewan. Semple comes from several generations of gold, with his first taste coming during a Boy Scouts gold panning trip at the Hope Recreational Panning Area in BC. “Gold buying and testing was happening
on my kitchen table all through out my life,” Semple chuckles. “My father was an avid gold panner and precious metals buyer, so it comes second nature to me.” After spending time learning on the job with his parents, Semple decided to jump in fulltime after the birth of his child. He now travels
all over Western Canada providing clients with a convenient and reliable way to recycle their precious metals. “Voyager Gold provides a service that is personal and informative, making sure the client understands everything that is going on from testing to quoting,” Semple says. “Voyager ETHAN SEMPLE
Gold deals directly with the smelter, cutting out the middle man. This enables us to pass those savings on to the client, unlike other gold buyers offering pennies on the dollar.” “We use a variety of tools and tests to analyze your items including magnetic sweeps, hallmark identification, as well as various purity tests,” Semple explains. “We even have experience with some collectible coins and bills where we look at numismatic value. In any event we’re always happy to take a look and offer some insight.” “Over half the world’s annual gold harvest comes from recycled gold. Energy costs are about $500 to mine a new ounce of gold, where recycled gold is about $10 per ounce. That prevents a lot of diesel from being burned.” Gold and silver purchased at the show and later melted goes back into the market without incurring that environmental cost. “People bring in all sorts of items, but most often its broken or forgotten jewellery from the back of the jewellery box or even dental gold. Often times folks are surprised by how much value was just sitting there,” Semple says. “Voyager Gold provides a quick and low pressure environment. We do everything right in front of your eyes and provide an offer with absolutely no pressure, no obligation, and no appointment necessary.”
