Serving up brunch to help refugees in Ukraine
Review Photo 1134 – Greg Nikkel
Debbie Kater served up a fruit cocktail as part of a fundraiser brunch on Saturday at the Weyburn Legion Hall to help refugees who are displaced in Ukraine. Also helping to serve at the brunch are Jerry Ponto and Brian Glass, with the event organized by members of the Ukrainian community in Weyburn. It was estimated around 150 people attended the brunch and about $5,000 was raised, which will be sent to a charity in Ukraine.
Weyburn brunch raises funds to help refugees in Ukraine By Greg Nikkel The Weyburn Legion was filled with area residents on Saturday, who came out to support a fundraiser brunch to help people displaced by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. A large blue-and-yellow flag, the colours of Ukraine, hung behind the serving
table with the words “No War in Ukraine”, and in the packed-out Vimy Room, a Canadian-Ukraine flag adorned the wall. The fundraiser was organized by local Ukrainians who wanted to help people out in their home country, which has been devastated by Russian military forces
in the past few weeks. The meal was sponsored by Mryglod Steel and Metals. The organizers estimate about 150 people came out to the brunch, and they raised $5,000 which will be sent to a charity in Ukraine that helps refugees displaced by the invasion. The food ran out at one
point, but more food was prepared so they were able to continue serving food to anyone who wanted to support the cause. “It’s something we want to do for the people in Ukraine,” said one of the organizers, Julia Peregon, who later texted, “This is amazing. Weyburn has
Young Fellows to host Hunter Brothers, Tenille Arts for Centennial Celebration The Young Fellows Club of Weyburn announced their 100th Ann ive r s a r y C e n t e n n i a l Celebration to be held on Thursday, June 30 at Jubilee Park in the City of Weyburn. Headlining the Centennial Celebration are Hunter Brothers, presented by E. Bourassa & Sons Ltd. and New Holland, with very special guest Tenille Arts, presented by the Prairie Sky Co-operative Association Ltd. The special lineup of Saskatchewan talent also includes opening entertainers Dan Cugnet and Brayden King, both of Weyburn. “On behalf of the Young Fellows Club of Weyburn, I would like to thank the community of Weyburn and the surrounding area for their dedicated and continued support of our club over the past 100 years. We would not have been able to contribute over $2.4 million into this community without you – We Serve,” said Chad Ror, president of the Young Fellows Club. Tickets will be on sale via the Young Fellows
website at https://weyburnyoungfellows.com, links on their various social media platforms, and locally at the Prairie Sky Co-Op Home Centre in Weyburn. Tickets are limited and available while supplies last. The tickets are $35 for those 15 and up, $15 for children aged five to 12, and children under five are free. The gates will open at 4:30 p.m. with the entertainment to start at 6 p.m. There will be food vendors and beer gardens on the site “With support from our title sponsors E. Bourassa & Son’s Ltd., and the Prairie Sky Co-operative Association Limited, and our gold sponsors, t h e We y bu r n C r e d i t Union and City of Weyburn, it’s time to come together as a community and celebrate,” said Ror. The very first meeting of the Young Fellows was held on May 25th, 1922 at the Care Cafe in Weyburn. Dr. J. McGillivray served as the first resident of the club’s initial 24 members. The Young Fellows Club of Weyburn is cele-
brating a century of service. Over the past 100 years, the Young Fellows Club of Weyburn has grown to a current active membership of 36 and too many associate mem-
bers and friendships to count. Together they’ve donated more than $2.4 million back to Weyburn and the surrounding communities through various organizations.

She lived in the town of Haivoron in the central part of Ukraine, and she was able to make her way to Lviv and then across the border into Poland. From Krakow, she was able to get into Germany where she caught a flight to Canada. Julia’s cousin, Sergii Peregon, noted that Luidmyla was helped by many volunteers in Poland who were waiting to provide assistance to people fleeing Ukraine. They even were able to put her up for a couple of days until she was able to leave for Ger-

many to take her flight out, he noted. Julia has lived in Weyburn for about 12 years now, and Sergii came here in 2010 to work. There are many charitable organizations that Weyburn and area residents can donate to, to help out the people of Ukraine, including the Canadian Red Cross, the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, and the United Nations World Food Program to just name a few. The provincial and federal governments have also indicated their willingness to take Ukrainian refugees, whether temporarily or as permanent immigrants, and the City of Weyburn has indicated they are willing to help out however they can as well.

Weyburn city council cuts prices in half for six lots By Greg Nikkel City council voted in favour of cutting the price of six unsold residential lots in the city’s north end by 50 per cent, after sitting since 2012. The six lots are on McTaggart Drive, north of Assiniboia Park School. They are fully serviced, including all utilities, and the price includes the
city’s cost to develop and service the lots. The current prices of those lots ranged from $132,000 to $144,000, said development officer Janine Fletcher, who then provided council with the option to reduce the price by 25 per cent, or by 50 per cent. The lots had been developed as part of Phase
2 of a new residential subdivision that included Veterans Road, Veterans Way, Schlosser Drive and Button Road, along with McTaggart Place, Johnston Drive and McTaggart Drive. Fletcher noted when staff checked with other similar-sized cities to compare prices, they found Weyburn’s price was at
22041LM0
the high end. The average price of land ranged from $8.91 to $18.28 per square foot, and Weyburn’s prices were at $18.28. “The City of Weyburn’s pricing is not very competitive with other similar size municipalities in the province, so the pricing could be reduced to remain competitive with other municipalities,” said Fletcher in her report to council. The price that council agreed to, with a 50-percent reduction, reduces the cost to $9.14 per square foot. The reduction means the lot prices now range from $66,449 to $71,719, not including GST. Fletcher noted the city still has another 12 serviced lots on Veterans Road, and a few that are not fully serviced, with another 45 lots that are unserviced. Asked what the costs were to the city to maintain these lots, Fletcher said the costs ranged from $1,500 to $2,000 a year, mainly for parks workers to keep the grass and weeds controlled.
Across Canada, the rising cost of living means more people are having to turn to food banks to help keep themselves and their families fed. At the same time, food banks are also coping with rising costs in many key aspects of their own operations, including the Weyburn Salvation Army’s food bank. On top of two years of pandemic and a long winter, this means many local food banks are now in dire need of community support in order to continue to help feed growing numbers of hungry Canadians. Loblaw Companies Limited is stepping up to help through the annual Spring Food Drive that launches this week. Loblaw grocery stores across Canada, including Weyburn’s Wholesale Club location, will be collecting donations of food and funds for two weeks beginning March 31 through to the Easter weekend. In Weyburn, Wholesale Club Weyburn is collecting food and cash donations for Weyburn Salvation Army. All donations made locally go directly to the local food bank to benefit community members in need. The demand at Weyburn’s food bank has been going up, said Shannon Fodchuck, community ministries coordinator for the Salvation Army. “We are going through a lot more food,” she said, noting that in March a year ago, they were giving out 100 hampers of food a month. That number has gone up to where they are handing out 160 hampers a month, plus they occasionally get calls for emergency food supplies. “We’re in need of a lot of things,” said Fodchuck, noting this includes canned meat, fruit and vegetables, pasta and pasta sauces, Kraft dinner, Sidekicks noodles, peanut butter, cereals and other breakfast items, juice boxes and school lunch items. “As we look forward to warmer days ahead, the reality is that the need for
food banks remains high coming out of the winter months, especially given the challenges of the current economic environment,” said Kirstin Beardsley, CEO of Food Banks Canada. “That’s why we are so grateful for generous partners like Loblaw Companies Ltd., who step forward year after year to support our neighbours in need with initiatives like the Spring Food Drive.” The company’s 2021 Holiday Food Drive last December generated over $2.1 million in in-store cash donations and more than twp million pounds of food for food banks across the country. In Saskatchewan, $55,900 and more than 19,100 pounds of food were donated to local food banks in all parts of the province. For those who are unsure of what to give, monetary donations are an easy and highly effective option. Cash provides the most flexibility for food banks to fill gaps in their operations wherever they are most needed. “Saskatchewanians are very community-minded. Even a $2 donation at the checkout goes a long way when many people contribute,” said Tonya Lagrasta, Senior Director, Sustainability and Social Impact, Loblaw. “Similarly, just one or two items added your cart for the in-store donation bin become hundreds of pounds of food when the entire community gets involved.” “It’s a hard reality that many Saskatchewanians are in need this spring. Wholesale Club Weyburn is committed to helping ease food insecurity across Weyburn by mobilizing our customers and colleagues,” said Lagrasta. “If you are in a position to donate to the food drive, thank you in advance for your generosity.” In addition, Fodchuk said if anyone would like to be registered with the food bank to receive hampers, they can contact her at 306842-2280 for an appointment, and she provide any information or help needed.

Top vote-getters in People’s Choice exhibition
Review Photo 1117 – Greg Nikkel
The top three winners of the James Weir People’s Choice exhibition gathered after the results of the public voting was announced on Friday evening. From left are Kelly Stephenson, first place for her painting,“The Turn”; Christopher Borshowa, second, for his photo,“Fallen”; curator Regan Lanning; and Olha Matiusheva, third, for her beaded sculpture,“Birch”. Sara Irwin was an honourable mention for her glass-on-glass creation,“Flowers Galore.”
Top vote-getters awarded in James Weir People’s Choice exhibit By Greg Nikkel Over 1,270 ballots were cast from 22 countries in the 38th annual James Weir People’s Choice art exhibition, and the top three winners were announced on Friday evening along with an honourable mention. Kelly Stephenson won first place for the second time, for her painting, “The Turn”, of a freight train going through the Rocky Mountains near Moraine Lake. Second went to Christopher Borshowa for his photo, “Fallen”, and third went to Olha Matiusheva, for her beaded sculpture, “Birch”. The honourable mention went to Sara Irwin for her glass mosaic piece, “Flowers Galore”. Curator Regan Lanning noted that her work was only about 20 votes behind the third place winner. A total of 1,276 ballots were counted, and 185 ballots were spoiled and not counted. Lanning explained ballots were spoiled if they did not vote for three pieces, or if they were not signed. She also noted one person voted 23 times and signed his name each time. “Sadly, none of his ballos were counted,” she said. Of the ballots which were counted, 297 were made online, and votes were cast from a total of 22 countries, including Canada, the U.S., Australia, France, Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, Lithuania, Mexico, the Czech Republic, Indonesia, Italy, Germany, Romania, Turkey, Brazil, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, China and the Ivory Coast. Lanning provided tours to 24 classrooms and she gave two noon-hour tours to the public, along with guided tours to a few community groups. “We discussed themes, principles of design, and we even tackled what makes a work of art successful,” said Lanning. Stephenson explained that she and her husband have visited the Rockies three times, staying in Banff, Canmore and Calgary, and she took reference photos of the scene she painted after her husband drove her up a mountain road to get the right angle on the curve in the train tracks. She noted that the main
difference between her painting and the photos she took is she likes to highlight shadows and light, and she layered the colours in the train engine to make it stand out. In her acceptance, Stephenson noted she had donated a painting to the City of Weyburn’s Permanent Art Collection for the opening of the Weyburn Art Gallery, and was very proud to have made that contribution. “I feel so delighted as a newcomer here,” she said, noting she came to Weyburn four years ago from China. “Art is my emotional wall, and is my English language in good expression.” For his photo, Borshowa combined a number of images, and printed it on brushed aluminum “to give it that texture,” which helped to illuminate the subject as one looks at it from different angles. Matiusheva explained she used beads, wire and cement to create her tree sculpture, and said this was the same kind of tree she saw in her home country of Ukraine, as well as here in Canada. This was her second time to enter the People’s
Choice, and the second time her piece placed third. The win was bittersweet and provided mixed emotions for her, as it made her mother happy, but Matiusheva said it was a moment of happiness in a very difficult situation as her mother is still in Ukraine. Her mom and other relatives are all right, but they are not safe, she added. “I didn’t expect I would take anything, there is so much amazing stuff here,” said Matiusheva, and noted she used to make these
beaded sculptures more in Ukraine. Irwin explained her piece is glass-on-glass, different from stained glass which uses lead to solder the glass pieces together. She used silicone to fit her glass pieces together, and put her piece on a mirror, so it doesn’t have to be placed in a window but uses a room’s natural light. “It’s quite therapeutic for me,” said Irwin, noting she has been making these glass mosaic pieces for about a year now.

The Weyburn Police Service experienced a busier week in call volume, responding to 97 calls for service during the period of March 21 through March 27, resulting in a total of 10 charges. Of the charges, three were laid under the Criminal Code of Canada, six under the Traffic Safety Act, and one under the Alcohol & Gaming Regulation Act. During the week, officers dealt with three different individuals on separate matters that were found to have outstanding warrants for their arrest. The warrants were executed on the individuals and all were arrested and released with upcoming court dates in the jurisdiction of the agency holding the applicable warrant. On Wednesday afternoon, officers attended a local residence at the request of the occupant to assist removing unwanted guests. Officers were able to speak to all involved parties and mediate the matter without further incident.

opinion
EDITORIAL
The need for food and support is very great There are some very real needs in our community and in the world today, and it would be really good if the residents of Weyburn area were able to step up and help out. For anyone looking for a way to give, or wondering if they should dig into their pockets to lend a hand, there is no shortage of places or needs to respond to. In Weyburn and area, the need for the Salvation Army’s food bank is reaching an urgent level. There will be a food drive that will run from March 31 to about April 14 at the Wholesale Club, and hopefully there will be a good response from local residents to this appeal. The food bank is giving out around 160 food hampers a month right now. This is up significantly from a year ago, when on average they were giving out around 100 hampers a month. What’s happened? Well, there’s been COVID, which has impacted on businesses, families and jobs, plus now there are supply chain issues, and rising prices. The prices, which aren’t just at the gas pump, are impacted by COVID and by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. That situation has sent the price of oil skyrocketing, which in turn causes other prices to also rise. The planes, trains and trucks that transport goods all have to use higher-priced fuels, and that cost gets passed on to companies and consumers (mostly consumers, actually). If you are on a fixed income, or don’t have a job, the higher prices on food and everything else makes it a lot harder to pay the rent, and buy gas and groceries. Thus, the food bank is filling a lot more needs these days. The other really big need relates to the aforementioned cause of the inflation, namely the crisis forcing millions of Ukrainians to flee their country while Russia pounds their cities with bombs. There are several charities and food aid organizations that are helping out with this need. This includes the Canadian Red Cross, the United Nations Food program, and the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, among many others. The Foodgrains Bank is worth mentioning, as they are able to get matching dollars from the federal government, so if the donation is for emergency food supplies, a $1 donation turns into $5 worth of food. They also partner with other agencies that are in the Poland-Ukraine region that help get food supplies to the people who need it. The response of Weyburn area residents has always been very generous, as was seen at the fundraiser brunch held on Saturday at the Weyburn Legion. Organized by local Ukrainian residents, they were able to raise $5,000 which will be sent to a charity that works within Ukraine, helping displaced people still in the country. They are a great example of how we can all help out. — Greg Nikkel

The slap heard around the world
MY NIKKEL’S WORTH By Greg Nikkel
Email: editor@weyburnreview.com It was “The Slap Heard Around the World”, literally. For those who didn’t watch the Academy Awards, or aren’t on any social media platforms or watch any TV news, “the slap” was administered by actor Will Smith on comedian Chris Rock. The discussions, far and wide, are mostly denouncing Smith for his action, with suggestions about what to do with him now. There are indications that the Academy is going to review this situation and will possibly sanction or penalize Smith in some way. The suggestions range from suspending him as an Academy member to even removing his Oscar, which he received about an hour after the big incident. I think the first thing that should be pointed out is, two wrongs don’t make a right. While people in the media are particularly hyper-focussed on the slap handed out by Will Smith, they should keep in mind Chris Rock’s offence. This isn’t hockey, where refs like to completely ignore the initial offence and only penalize the retaliatory act. In fact, if this were a hockey game, Rock should get the “instigator” penalty.
What he did was not cool, making fun of Will’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who actually has a medical condition. To point this out and make a joke of it was unconscionable, and the Academy people had best remember that. So, does this excuse what Smith did? Going up to hit Rock and then to yell at him to keep his wife’s “flipping” name out of his mouth? People should also keep in mind that Smith apologized, in person at the Oscars, and on social media where he apologized directly to Rock and to the Academy. Since the Academy is peopled by actors, directors and other movie-industry types, they are already acting in a completely hypocritical way by calling for Smith’s head, and ignoring his apologies completely. When one sees the sort of acts and mistakes made by the members of the Academy, they are hardly in a position to be condemning Smith. It’s a case of, “let him who is without sin cast the first stone.” I’m not saying don’t punish Smith, but it should be decided by an objective third-party person, not by self-righteous celebrities.
A WRITER’S ODYSSEY By Sabrina Kraft
Email: skraft@weyburnreview.com My son will learn the responsibilities of having a job, as he will be starting Work Placement very soon. I am very excited for him to have the opportunity, and very satisfied that it is considered as part of his curriculum at the Weyburn Comprehensive School. This month has been one of big steps for Christopher, as he also started to take driving training. Some days it’s hard to believe that my little baby (and he hates it when I call him that) is now old enough to be driving, and to have his first job. He is growing up so fast. I had many responsibilities when I was a teenager, as the oldest of three children, especially since both my parents had their own work responsibilities. Household chores like preparing supper for my younger siblings, doing laundry, and cleaning the house were all normal for my routine. It definitely built the foundation of a work ethic that I still have to this day. That is why it was so important to me that when Christopher reached a similar age to ensure that he had his own responsibilities around the house. I believe that by giving our children those household chores that it helps build a foundation for when they are ready to live on their own.
I am a big fan of the Work Placement program that my son has the opportunity to participate in. I believe that financial responsibility should be part of the everyday curriculum. Fast tip for math teachers, who struggle finding interesting ways to keep students engaged, maybe include budget planning in your education plan. In my opinion, it is a lifetime skill that our youth should be taught, to better prepare themselves for their future. I have always been open and honest with Christopher about budget planning and ensuring that our expenditures do not exceed my income. He now understands how there are times when we have to watch our dollars, and even has his own bank account that he can monitor. When Christopher was in the Home Economics class at St. Michael School, one of the teachers there complimented the fact that he already knew a lot of the basics of cooking, cleaning and household budget planning. For me, it is a comfort to know that Christopher will be able to fend for himself, if he has to. He has the capacity to live on his own, if he chooses to when it is time. As much as I might want to give him a fish, as his mother, it was a lot better teaching him to fish for himself.

Spring budget shows province getting ‘back on track’: MLA Duncan responds By Greg Nikkel The provincial budget shows that Saskatchewan is getting “back on track” once again, said Weyburn-Big Muddy MLA and Education Minister Dustin Duncan. The budget was brought down on Wednesday afternoon in the Legislature, with revenues expected to total $17.2 billion, and spending will total $17.6 billion, leaving a deficit of $463 million, according to government documents. The projected revenues are up 18.5 per cent from the budget of a year ago, while spending is up 3.1 per cent. A highlight for Weyburn from this budget is $6 million earmarked for Weyburn’s new hospital project, said Duncan, with the aim to finish off the project design and to get the project out to tender this year. “The tender process will go over the summer,” he said. “The earliest we could see construction begin will be this winter, so it’s moving forward.” The hospital is to be built on Fifth Avenue North, located east of King Street, and will replace the General Hospital. Also for this area, there will be further work on Highways 6 and 39, with twinning in the Corinne area north of Milestone, and extending the twinning from Weyburn past the grain terminals. “The plan is to do twinning rather than passing lanes. The passing lanes are well in place now,” said Duncan. In terms of revenue sharing for the City of Weyburn, they will be receiving $1,994,406 this year, down from $2,172,785 last year. This was due to the drop in spending due to COVID, as the revenue sharing is calculated on .75 of one percentage point of the provincial
sales tax, and it’s based on the spending levels of two years when the province entered the pandemic lockdowns. Overall, said the MLA, while there is a deficit this year, they are on track to have a balanced budget in a few years, with this year’s deficit down by $2.1 billion from last year, indicating the province’s economy is getting back on track after the challenges of the pandemic. “I’m really pleased to see the increases in health care with the surgical initiative, to get us back to a three-month waiting list,” said Duncan, noting there is also more spending for mental health and addictions, and for rural health care. “These are all areas that I hear about the most in the constituency,” he added. The projections of revenues and expenses are based on key assumptions, according to Finance Minister Donna Harpauer, and these include an oil price of $75.75 US a barrel, a potash price of $407 US per KCI tonne, and an exchange rate of 80.04 cents on the U.S. dollar. Noting the oil price has been above $110 a barrel recently, Duncan said the price is quite volatile, as it’s gone up and down by $10 a barrel or more just in the last week or two, and it will depend on the price staying stable for a longer period of time. In large part, the price volatility is due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, said Duncan. “It’s hard to say six months from now what that’s going to look like,” he added, pointing out if the oil price stays high for an extended period of time, then they could end the fiscal year in a better position than they are now, and the deficit for the year could be lowered even more. “We want to be cautious given it’s a very volatile situ-

ation,” said Duncan. Some key highlights of the budget include the following: • The Health budget of $6.8 billion, up by $288.1 million or 4.4 per cent from last year; of this amount, $21.6 million is to address the surgical wait list; $12.5 million in new funding for 11 new intensive care unit beds, bringing the number of new beds to 90 for 2022-23; • The Education budget will be $3.8 billion, up 1.3 per cent, with the 27 school divisions to receive almost $2 billion in operating funds, an increase of $25 million (including covering the twoper-cent salary increase for teachers); • Child care fees were reduced by up to 50 per cent as of February, and fees will be further reduced in September 2022;
• The Ministry of Advanced Education will see a budget of $740.3 million, including $4.9 million to expand nurse training by 150 seats, and $684.1 million in operating and capital grants for post-secondary institutions; • The Social Services budget is $1.6 billion, up by 4.3 per cent from last year; • The budget for policing and justice is $936.2 million, up by 10.8 per cent from a year ago, including $50.7 million to create a Provincial Protective Service branch to unite provincial peace officers into one structure, and $1.6 million for a warrant enforcement and suppression team, $6.4 million to establish the Saskatchewan Trafficking Response team, and $3.2 million to expand the Crime Reduction Team.
City and RM grade the province’s 2022 budget By Greg Nikkel Reeve Norm McFadden is giving the province’s 2022 budget “a passing grade” from the RM of Weyburn, while the city’s Mayor Marcel Roy is hoping to see the southeast area get very busy in the next couple of years with the price of oil helping to drive the activity. The two municipal leaders shared their thoughts on the budget brought down on Wednesday afternoon, and both expressed some optimism for better times to come this year and next. Mayor Roy acknowledged that the revenue sharing will be down for the city this year, as it’s based on PST revenue which was down due to the COVID lockdowns. “With oil at $110, they are going to really bring down a lot of their deficit,” he said, noting that the PST revenues weren’t down as much as they thought it was going to be. With the oil prices at the $110 level, he added, there are real issues with the supply of oil which could lead to further increases in the price. “We could see a huge rise in oil prices, which may not be good for consumers, but there’s going to be extra drilling and oil activity,” said Mayor Roy, pointing out that one pipeline project will be going through this area to supply carbon dioxide for Federated Co-operative’s carbon capture project in Regina. In addition, there are
Weyburn RM to offer gopher bounty this year A bounty on gophers will be offered this year in a bid to address the over-population of the rodents from last year. The RM will pay 50 cents a tail, said Reeve Norm McFadden, adding the hope there will be interest in residents to take part in controlling the gopher population this year. “In the coming weeks is when we need to get people out catching gophers. We had a few people last year, but hopefully this year there will be more interest,” he said. Gophers can cause a lot of damage to crop lands as well as in pastures, where their holes can prove to be a real hazard to livestock.

One of the RM’s biggest projects this year is building the new RM offices, which got underway a couple of weeks ago. The new building will be located on First Avenue between Quality Tire and Knight Dodge, and will be bigger than their current
offices, located on Fourth Street. The current office was built about 40 years ago, and is very short on space, while the new building will have six offices and a meeting room that will be available for community non-profit groups to use.
plans for canola crushing plants, each one needing a supply of several truckloads of canola, not to mention the hog barns at Carlyle, he said. “This whole southern area will be very busy. It’s not going to be governmentdriven, but it will be industry,” said the mayor. For Reeve McFadden, he said of the budget, “No one likes to see taxes increased, but that’s how we pay for things. I’m glad to see they’re going after surgical wait times. That’s on everybody’s minds right now.” He added he’s also glad to see more funds going towards mental health initiatives. This budget has $470 million allocated to mental health programs and services, which is over seven per cent of health care spending, with $21.6 million to address the surgical wait list. “It’s one thing to throw money at that stuff, but it’s another to really address it,” said McFadden. The announcement of $6 million for the Weyburn hospital project was also good news, he said. “That was nice to see them taking the next step, which people are anxious to see. I think everybody’s ready for that.” Meantime, there are plans for extending the highway twinning past the Richardson Pioneer and Viterra terminals, and they’ll be doing planning for the new round-about at the intersection of Highways 39 and 13, which will be worked on in 2023. “I just hope when they do the intersection, it’s done right this time,” said the reeve of the intersection project. McFadden said Highways has been “very easy to talk to” as the work has been ongoing for passing lanes and the twinning projects.

Weyburn Arts Council readies for ‘huge things’ in coming year
Weyburn Arts Council meets virtually for AGM
Review Photo 2921 – Greg Nikkel
The directors and executive for the Weyburn Arts Council met on Zoom for their annual meeting on Thursday evening, with some new members joining and others stepping down. Tasha Hill, third on the top row, was acclaimed to a new two-year term as chair.
Canadian Foodgrains Bank accepting donations Weyburn Rotary Club donates $1,000 to help Ukrainian refugees By Greg Nikkel The work of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank in reaching people who are hungry, including people fleeing the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, was detailed to the members of the Weyburn Rotary Club on Thursday. Rick Block, a regional representative of the Foodgrains Bank, spoke to the club via Zoom, and explained the various ways the organization will help people out. He noted that the Foodgrains Bank is a partnership of 15 church agencies from 30 denominations, as they work together to provide food or resources in areas of need around the world. The organization provides emergency food assistance in times of crisis, but they also provide long-term responses that can help people with sustainable food sources over a period of time. Last year, the Canadian
Foodgrains Bank provided about $50 million in funding in 33 countries, noted Block. Showing a graph of hunger around the world in the last several years, he noted that food aid agencies and groups were making progress until about 2014, and in the last five or six years hunger has again begun to increase in the world. The causes range from armed conflict (such as currently in Ukraine), natural disasters, and food system failures, such as occurred during the COVID pandemic. The CFB works where there are disasters, with hunger and suffering, and their response is in conjunction with local residents, churches and agencies. Currently with the conflict in Ukraine, the foodgrains bank is working with agencies that are already in place along the Polish-Ukrainian border, such as the Canadian Baptist Ministry and the Mennonite Central Committee (MCC).

They have been providing food, humanitarian supplies and medical assistance to refugees who are escaping out of Ukraine from the Russian invasion. “At times we can also provide food vouchers to refugees who are stuck in a spot and have little or no resources,” said Block. “In some ways it’s very basic, but it does require coordination. The resources are helping people to get through to the next day or the day after.” Block explained the various sources of funding for their work. These include $25 million in core funding from Global Affairs Canada, for international humanitarian assistance, along with about $15 million in donations from the public, and $14 million over five years from Global Affairs Canada. The government will match funds on a 4:1 ratio if the funds are used for emergency assistance, such as for refugees in Ukraine, which makes a $1 do-

nation into $5. As Block explained, “The matching isn’t when the dollars come in, it’s when the dollars go out for projects.” If the dollars going out are for conservation or agricultural projects to help people over the long term, then the ratio is 3:1, which turns $1 into $4, he noted. Recently an appeal for emergency aid to Ukraine had just closed, he said, and he wasn’t sure exactly why or whether it would reopen, but it may have been subject to availability of supplies. “We want to be open and very grateful for the generosity of Canadians,” he added. The CFB also works with local organizations when they do projects, such as in recent years working with a group in the Oungre area, where the seed and inputs were donated, along with the time to harvest it, and the proceeds from the crops were then donated to the Foodgrains Bank. Last year, over 220 projects raised over $6 million, with 34 of these projects in Saskatchewan, he noted.

By Greg Nikkel Directors and members of the Weyburn Arts Council reviewed 2021 for the organization and looked ahead to 2022, at their annual meeting held via Zoom on Thursday evening. With some members stepping down and new ones joining up, the board is left with two vacancies currently. Chair Tasha Hill was acclaimed for a new two-year term, and with treasurer Lois Adam s t e p p i n g d ow n , L i z Lambe has stepped into that role. The council also lost Tana Torkelson and Jessica Payette this year, while Stephanie Lang and Heather Ganuelo joined as new board members. “This is a big team effort,” said curator Regan Lanning in encouraging any interested person who would like to join the board. “We figure it out along the way, so it’s not super-hard.” “It’s very much a collaborative effort,” agreed Hill, adding, “I think we’re on the verge of some really huge things here.” In the reports submitted to the AGM, it was noted that the opening of the new Weyburn Art Gallery in Weyburn’s new Credit Union Spark Centre was a big event, and will mean great things for the arts council in the years to come. Lanning said the members of the arts council assisted her in moving the permanent art collection over to its new home at the Weyburn Art Gallery, where it’s stored in its new collections room next door to her office. There were 17 new pieces of art added to the
art collection in 2021, most of them by donation or discoveries made during the closing of the Signal Hill Arts Centre. Some pieces were also moved from the Soo Line Historical Museum. Some of the plans for 2022 include starting a multi-year initiative to paint murals on the dugouts of the ball diamonds in Jubilee Park next to the Spark Centre, with the plan to do a couple each year. Lanning noted they also plan to use metal plinths with plexiglas toppers to bring art out into the park. The Gifted Summer Art Market will also return, after a successful event held last summer with 33 artists taking part. The Winter Gifted market was held at the Cugnet Centre in person, with 30 artists taking part and an estimated 600 people coming through the doors to visit it. The grand opening of the Spark Centre was held in conjunction with Culture Days, and the public was part of painting a large version of artist Jonnae Haupstein’s winning design for a new mural. The mural will be installed this spring downtown on the side of Kat and Fuel’s tattoo shop on Second Street, facing Souris Avenue. “So much of the work that is done by this council is behind the scenes. It is done for the love of art and community, but with that, all too often there is an absence of recognition for a job well done,” said Hill in her report, noting the arts council is a non-profit organization that benefits from grants, public donations and support.

YOUR FARM YOUR FAMILY YOUR SUCCESS
Sask. budget aims to spur ag investment By Dave Bedard, Glacier FarmMedia Sweetening existing tax credits on bigticket investments, and setting up a new Crown corporation to support Indigenous investors, are among the items expected to help encourage new value-added ag projects in Saskatchewan’s latest budget. Provincial Finance Minister Donna Harpauer on Wednesday released her 2022-23 budget with $17.6 billion in expenditures on $17.2 billion in revenues, for an expected deficit of $463 million, well down from the province’s forecast deficit of $2.185 billion for 2021-22. The province said its budgetary appropriations and expenses for the agriculture ministry come in at $462.4 million, up 19.5 per cent from 2021-22, on “strong 2022-23 crop insurance program and record agriculture research funding.” The 2022-23 budget’s broader agriculture-themed expenditures come in at $1.04 billion, up 18.3 per cent from the 2021-22 budget of $879.3 million, primarily due to “higher projected crop insurance indemnities as a result of higher crop prices, as well as higher reinsurance However, that estimate is well down from the province’s latest forecast for those 2021-22 ag-themed expenditures, at $3.19 billion, due mainly to last year’s drought-related crop insurance payouts and AgriRecovery program costs. New line items relating to agriculture this year include $475,000 to set up a new Crown corporation, to be called the Saskatchewan Indigenous Investment Finance Corp. The new Crown is expected to offer up to $75 million in loan guarantees on private-sector lending to Indigenous com-
munities and organizations for investments into “natural resource and value-added agriculture projects,” the province said. The province will also further backstop major value-added ag projects through “enhancement” of the Saskatchewan Valueadded Agriculture Incentive (SVAI), a 15 per cent tax credit in place since 2018 on capital expenditures of at least $10 million toward newly constructed or expanded value-added ag facilities. Retroactive to 2018, eligible projects will still get the 15 per cent rebate on the portion of a project’s expenditures up to $400 million, but could also get 30 per cent on the portion between $400 million and $600 million, and 40 per cent on the portion in excess of $600 million. The dollar value of the tax credit will be capped at $250 million. Examples of qualifying projects include canola crush facilities, pea protein processors, oat milling operations, malt producing operations, and cannabis oil facilities, the province said. The SVAI and other incentives are “key to Saskatchewan’s competitiveness, attracting private investment from global companies like BHP, Richardson International, Viterra, Ceres Global Ag, Cargill, Federated Co-operatives, AGT Foods, Paper Excellence and Red Leaf Pulp,” the province said Wednesday. The province on Wednesday also noted that starting April 1 this year, certain “clarifications” will made to provincial sales tax (PST) related to farming and agriculture activities — for example, confirming a PST exemption for the “on-farm digging of dugouts.”

CP Rail, union agree to binding arbitration By Kelvin Heppner, RealAgriculture Canadian Pacific Railway and the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) have agreed to binding arbitration, ending the work stoppage as it extended into its third day. Normal business operations for the railway was set to resume on March 22. “CP is pleased to have reached agreement with the TCRC Negotiating
Committee to enter into binding arbitration and end this work stoppage,” said CP President and CEO Keith Creel, in a statement. “This agreement enables us to return to work to resume our essential services for our customers and the North American supply chain.” A spokesperson for the TCRC, which represents around three thousand CP employees, said both parties have agreed to ac-
cept the arbitrator’s decision as final, and that the union will not be commenting until the arbitration process is complete. An update from the union to its members, however, said “wages, benefits and pension are the outstanding issues the arbitrator will rule on.” News that CP is resuming operations was welcomed by farm groups and shippers across all sectors.
The work stoppage raised major concerns about feed availability in Western Canada, as cattle feeders and feed companies have been relying on corn imports via CP Rail following last year’s drought. Just before the agreement was reached, Bob Lowe, president of the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, said feeders would run out of supply in one to two weeks without CP’s trains running.
There were also significant concerns, not only in Canada but in the U.S. as well, about movement of potash fertilizer across North America ahead of spring planting. The Canadian Oilseed Processors Association, meanwhile, said canola processing plants were being forced to curb operations. The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association, Grain Growers of Canada, Fer-
tilizer Canada, and National Cattle Feeders’ Association held a joint press conference on Parliament Hill on March 21 to discuss the serious consequences of the work stoppage for the agriculture sector. The timeline for the arbitration process has not been announced, but CP is expected to continue with normal business operations through the arbitration period.
Crop insurance deadline extended to April 14 Federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit announced the 2022 Crop Insurance enrolment deadline has been extended to Thursday, April 14. Due to logistical challenges because of the ongoing supply-chain issues posed by the pandemic, there was a delay in the delivery of the 2022
Crop Insurance packages to producers’ addresses. These challenges occurred after the packages left the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) on Feb. 25. “Prairie producers continue to inspire us with their resiliency and ability to rise to the challenges of the past year,” said MarieClaude Bibeau, federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. “Risk management programs
like crop insurance are essential to help producers prepare for the future, and we want to ensure they have the time they need to make decisions that are right for their business.” “We want to ensure producers have additional time to review their operation’s risk management plans for the upcoming growing season,” said Marit. “SCIC offers a full suite of programs to support producers, includ-
ing Crop Insurance. We understand the challenges the Saskatchewan agriculture industry is currently facing, and I encourage producers to take the time now to review all Crop Insurance options and select features best suited for their operation.” As of March 10, the 2022 Crop Insurance packages were circulated and distributed to producers’ addresses.

Weyburn Review, Weyburn, Saskatchewan -- March 30, 2022
Farmland values increased in Saskatchewan in 2021
Canada’s farmland values climbed in spite of impacts from pandemic supply chain disruptions and adverse weather that affected parts of the country, as Farm Credit Canada’s (FCC) Farmland Values Report showed an 8.3-per-cent national average increase in 2021. The report, which describes changes in Canada’s farmland values from Jan.1 to Dec. 31, 2021, covers an entire year of disruptions caused by the pandemic, as well as a drought that reduced yields across much of the prairies. FCC reported a 5.4-percent national average increase in 2020. In Saskatchewan, average farmland values increased by 7.4 per cent in 2021, following gains of 5.4 per cent in 2020 and 6.2 per cent in 2019.
“The low interest rate environment and favourable commodity prices seem to have offset some of the many challenges that could have been expected to restrain the demand for farmland and the price producers are willing to pay for land,” said J.P. Gervais, FCC’s chief economist. “It’s a testament to the resilience and business confidence of farm operators who are largely driving this strong Canadian farmland market.” The largest increases were recorded in Ontario and British Columbia (22.2 and 18.1 per cent, respectively), followed by Prince Edward Island (15.2 per cent), Nova Scotia (12.3 per cent) and Quebec (10 per cent). Other provinces showed more moderate average increases, ranging from Alberta at 3.6
per cent to Manitoba at 9.9 per cent. Saskatchewan recorded an average increase of 7.4 per cent, while New Brunswick showed a 5.2 per cent average increase. Gervais notes that Canada’s agriculture industry is still facing uncertainty, since labour shortages, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical tensions, farm input inflation and incremental interest rate increases are expected this year. At the same time, FCC is forecasting that receipts of grains, oilseeds and pulses in Canada will increase in 2022, fueled by strong demand and tight global supply. Increases in farmland values reported across the country are as wide and varied as the factors that may have influenced them. Average farmland values have increased every year since 1993, however, in-
creases were more pronounced from 2011 to 2015 in many different regions. Since then, Canada has seen more moderate single-digit increases in average farmland values. Land markets in Prairie provinces were somewhat tempered by adverse growing conditions, while farmland values in several regions of B.C. were bolstered by limited supplies of available land and proximity to urban areas. “Sharp increases are often a result of local market conditions coupled with relatively favourable economic conditions,” Gervais said. “For areas that reported significant increases, strong demand for a limited supply of land played a key role in bumping up values.” Producers in many regions were buying or selling land to gain operational
efficiencies and to support family farm succession plans, which contributed to a strong farmland market in Canada. Gervais reminds producers to have and maintain a risk management plan that takes into account possible economic chan-
ges, ensuring their budgets have room to flex if commodity prices, yields or interest rates shift. They also need to exercise caution, especially in regions where the growth rate of farmland values exceeded that of farm income in recent years.
Grain Growers puts forward plan for net-zero emissions
The Grain Growers of Canada (GGC) have announced the creation of a climate solutions initiative to help meet Canada’s ambitious goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. “As part of Canadian grain farmers’ ongoing leadership as environmental stewards, we continue to look forward to ensure our competitiveness,” said GGC chair Andre Harpe. “The farmer-driven path to net zero must reflect what farmers have done and can sustainably do in the future, which is why GGC has decided to lead this important initiative.” “The ‘Road to 2050’ will propose a path forward that focuses on innovation, research and beneficial management practices. This will boost productivity while continuing to enhance soil quality, improving the carbon sequestration potential of crop land and reducing emissions. This decision represents a practical and proactive approach to tackling climate change,” added Harpe. In addition to identifying opportunities for the sector to continue its contributions
to GHG emission reductions, the Road to 2050 is intended to guide government policies and programming directed at Canada’s grains sector, ensuring farmers are supported in their efforts. All recommendations will reflect farmers’ priorities, providing direction for legislators and policy makers who are making investments in research and incentivizing adoption of beneficial management practices. GGC is committed to being a leader in this area and finding solutions that align Canada’s climate goals with the unique needs and opportunities of the sector. Canadian farmers are poised to capitalize on this opportunity, as they have a demonstrated history of innovation. Farmers have been proactive in steadily decreasing their carbon footprint through the adoption of numerous practices that improve soil carbon sequestration, without the need for regulation. Since 1981, there has been a 10 per cent reduc-
tion in net agricultural GHG emissions in Canada – primarily driven by beneficial management practices in the regions where crop production is most intensive. This reduction in emissions has been accompanied by a period of historic growth in crop yields and agri-food exports, meaning farmers have been producing more food with fewer emissions. “We recognize that governments around the world are taking important steps to fight climate change and the reality is that Canadian farms can continue to play a major part in Canada’s efforts,” Harpe added. Public and private sector collaboration will be a key component of ensuring resiliency in food production systems while moving to reduce emissions. Immediate next steps will involve seeking potential partners as GGC develops solutions for farmers and government, supported and guided by the establishment of a scientific advisory committee. “Through innovation, we must continue to find ways
to produce even more food to support a growing world population while maintaining our track record of constant improvement when it comes to sustainability,” Harpe explained. “Canada’s grain sector is up for the challenge.”

Canola seeding steps to reduce flea beetle risk By Keith Gabert, Canola Council of Canada Canola growers can take steps before or at seeding to improve crop competition against flea beetles. These include: Residue management: Standing stubble protects soil from erosion and collects more snow. Stubble also improves flea beetle management by providing shelter from wind. With direct seeding, the remaining stubble can keep flea beetles feeding on leaves – and not down on the stems. A few bites on a leaf are far less damaging than a few bites on the stem. Seed d e c isions: I f growers have some wiggle room on last minute seed treatment decisions, they may upgrade their seed treatment. Enhanced insecticide seed treatments will improve flea beetle protection,
especially when used in combination with the following management practices. Arrange a check strip comparison if you have two seed treatments on the same variety. Aim for five to eight plants per square foot: This target is good for yield, and more plants mean fewer flea beetles per plant and more seed treatment per acre. Take steps for fast emergence and more vigour: Rapid emergence and vigorous early-season growth can extend seed treatment protection until the four-leaf stage, which is generally considered to be the end of the flea beetle risk period. To achieve these objectives, seed shallow, at a reduced speed, into a warm, moist seedbed. Use only safe rates of seed-placed fertilizer.
The best recommendation is to use only phosphorus in the seed row and no more than 20 lb./ ac. of actual phosphate. Higher rates of seedplaced fertilizer can add more stress, slow the
pace of growth and reduce the plant stand. Even with all of these steps, flea beetle damage can still reach the economic threshold of 25 per cent leaf area loss across the field. If feeding is a
concern, scout frequently, especially in warm, dry conditions that are ideal for flea beetles. Flea beetles become active with the first extended period of warm weather in April and
May. Striped flea beetles emerge from winter rest one to four weeks before the crucifer flea beetles, and it may take three weeks for all overwintering adults to emerge.

Birnie, Mason Two vets of Red Wings get playing opportunities
Opposing players try to corral a high-bouncing ball with the yellow team looking to take a shot on net, during the U18 boys tryouts for Team Saskatchewan on Saturday at Weyburn’s Credit Union Spark Centre.
Former Red Wings captain Braden Birnie and forward Ty Mason will both be getting new playing opportunities. Birnie, who was traded from the Red Wings to the Steinbach Pistons of the MJHL in early January, has committed to the University of Alaska in Fairbanks. He will be playing for
By Matt Johnson, University of Saskatchewan For the second-time in program history, the University of Saskatchewan Huskies women’s hockey team are national medallists, as they defeated the UNB Reds 2-0 in the bronze medal game at the 2022 U SPORTS National Championship. “This is just so surreal and so special to actually come home with some hardware,” said Huskies captain Bailee Bourassa. “The team really put it all on the line, not only just in this game, but the whole journey to get here. We played until the very last game that we could possibly play and I could not have asked more for my team.”
the second in program history and first medal since the 2013-2014. The Huskies were defeated by the Concordia Stingers in the bronze medal game of the 2017-18 national championship — with today serving as revenge for Abby Shirley and Bourassa, who are the team’s lone remaining players from the squad. “We were on that blue line watching the other team get the medal four years ago and it was real heartbreaking because you know, we thought we deserved a better medal,” said Kook. The win put a wraps on what was a historic season for the program. After finishing in fifth-place in the Canada West with a 11-7-0

the Alaska Nanooks Division 1 hockey team. This season, in 32 games with the Red Wings, he had nine goals and 12 assists. In 24 games with the Pistons, he had 10 goals and 21 assists, plus in two playoff games, he had one goal and one assist. Mason has been named to Team Saskatchewan,
who will be competing at the 2022 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships. The national tournament will be held May 7-14 at Membertou, Nova Scotia. Mason, a centre, played in 46 games for the Red Wings this season, and had 10 goals and eight assists.
Weyburn product Bailee Bourassa, U of S Huskies, win national bronze The game served as the final game of Bourassa’s career, as the Weyburn product put a bow on her fifth-andfinal year of eligibility with U SPORTS bronze. “For her to come come back and play her sixth year of eligibility and forgo moving on with her career and all those sacrifices — then leave and lead a team like this to a bronze medal in a situation like this, I’m just so happy for her,” said Kook. “Honestly, I can say that I have absolutely zero regrets with this year, coming back with the girls, especially this group, there was just something so special about this group. There was no way we weren’t going to win something this year. So I’m honestly super happy and I’ll
never forget this year,” said Bourassa. It was Kendra Zuchotzki who opened the scoring for Saskatchewan at the 7:51 mark of the first period with a blast from the point for her first-career U SPORTS postseason goal. Jasper Desmarais added an insurance marker on a shelfed wrister on a Huskies three-on-one near the halfway point of the second-period, as the pair of first years combined to give the Huskies all the scoring it needed on the afternoon. If there was a fitting way for this season to come to end, it was a Camryn Drever shutout. The third-year netminder recorded what was her fourth shutout in nine postseason games. The bronze medal win is
record in the regular-season, the Huskies caught fire when it mattered the most. Saskatchewan went on to win four-straight postseason games, sweeping the Manitoba Bisons and Mount Royal Cougars — who were the Canada West’s No. 1 seed and the No. 2-ranked team in the nation — in the Canada West quarter-final and semifinal. The pair of series wins ultimately punched the program’s ticket to the national championship, where they finished as the conference’s top team and made sure it was a season that will be forever enshrined the history books.

Weyburn scored the first goal with 3:13 left in the first period. Birnie scored, assisted by Ireland Koski and Seghers. Turtleford scored in the second period with 1:09 left. Heading into the third period with the score tied 1-1, with one minute left in the game, the puck was in Turtleford’s zone so they pulled their goalie. Weyburn’s Seghers scored the game-winning goal in the empty net with 56 seconds left in game to win the championship.
