Lawyer shares experiences after spending a year studying in Croatia

By Greg NikkelLocal lawyer Ste-

phen Schuck spent a year studying law in Croatia, and shared some of his experiences and observa-tions during a talk to the Weyburn Rotary Club.

The son of Rotary member Tom and Marilyn Schuck, Stephen grew up in Weyburn, and took a year during his university studies at the University of Zagreb.

He took international law while learning about and experiencing the local culture of Croatia.

Stephen never had the opportunity to go on a Rotary student exchange when he attended high school, so when the op-portunity came up to study law in Croatia, he filled out the application to go. Almost all of his classes were in English, said Schuck, which he found helpful as Croatian is a difficult language. He did try learning the lan-guage, and was able to learn about the country through his Croatian girl-

friend and her family.Noting that Croatia was

part of the former Yugo-slavia, and was under Communism rule with dictator Tito, he sought to find out what it was like at that time. They won their independence in 1991, which is an in-teresting piece of history, he said, noting the BBC had an excellent docu-mentary series detailing the struggle for Croatias independence.

Schuck learned while he was there that as part of the European Union, students in Europe could study there and receive a stipend to help pay for their education. They encourage the integra-tion of European nations and they foster unity in Europe.

Schuck held up a passport-sized index that included his photo, and noted his classes were kept track of in this book but he also noted they didnt have their schedule of classes on line, and to find where a given class

was, he had to ask around to find out which class-room it was in.

Organization wasnt a strong suit of the uni-versity, but I enjoyed the classes. Some of what he studied includ-ed European trade law, the World Trade Organ-ization and international criminal law.

Schuck had a peek into how these laws worked as an important decision was handed down at that time regarding a general convicted of war crimes, as he was accused of eth-nic cleansing, but who was considered a national hero in Croatia. He was sentenced to 24 years in prison, but was then re-leased as he appealed the conviction.

The lawyer who han-dled the generals appeal visited the university, and Schuck had an opportun-ity to talk with him.

As he found out, it

wasnt so much an in-stance of ethnic cleansing as it was the interpreta-tion of how military and non-military targets were hit by shells. This issue was big in Croatia, espe-cially on Independence Day, with church bells all ringing throughout the country, said Stephen. It was a really unique ex-perience.

He added that he could see the feelings of Cro-atians for this general who saved them.

Tied into all this was Croatias bid to join the European Union, a bid that was blocked by the Netherlands unless this general was arrested and charged with war crimes.

Schuck noted about 66 per cent of Croatians voted yes to joining the EU. On the country itself, Schuck said, I would recommend you go there and experience it. Its one of the most beautiful

areas to go see.Some of the destina-

tions to visit include Dubrovnik, and the city of Split located in Dal-matia, the gateway to the islands off the Cro-atian coast. Schuck spent Christmas at Split.

When you go there, the temperature will be like Vancouver. I look forward to eating a fish feast, and drinking local-ly-made wine and olive oil, he said.

One of the Rotarians asked if he felt safe in Croatia, Schuck said he did, noting they are very honest there, and a per-son doesnt have to worry

about having things stolen there.

Asked how he found learning about inter-national criminal law, he admitted it wasnt always useful or ap-plicable to here in Can-ada, but added it was a good experience to learn about it, and the credits he earned for his year there were transferable to his law degree here.

One of the pluses of being in Croatia or travel-ling there is the cost of liv-ing is relatively low there, and noted the drive along the coast is very beauti-ful, unless youre with my dad, he quipped.

EDITORIAL !EDITORIAL !!this weekRESPONSIBLE CELEBRATIONS

As people around the world celebrate a new year, it is my hope that everyone keeps in mind their own responsibilities in the back of their mind. Be respectful, and most importantly dont drink and drive.

Sabrina Kraft [email protected]

There are many ways to celebrate a new year. Some people attend big celebrations at New York or Toronto. Others have New Years parties with their friends and families. Others observe on their own, in quiet solitude.

One of the most important things to remember is that no matter how you celebrate that it is done in a respectful and responsible manner. The biggest part of these responsibilities is to ensure that if you do in-dulge in drinking during your celebrations, that you do not get behind the wheel afterwards.

Even one drink can reduce your ability to react to things that happen suddenly while you are driving. The effects of alcohol include blurred or double vi-sion, impaired attention and slowed reflexes.

The consequences for drinking and driving can be much harsher than receiving a ticket. Your life and the lives of others can change forever if you drive after drinking alcohol.

It is also difficult to understand the reasoning of I have only had a few, I will be fine when there are so many ways of getting home safely without getting be-hind the wheel. A person could call a cab, they could ensure to go out with a designated driver, or in bigger cities they can use the bus services.

As a designated driver myself, it has always been more important to me to ensure that my family and friends get home safely. I dont mind driving a little out of my way to make sure that happens.

There are also other responsibilities to keep in mind during our celebration times. It is important to remem-ber that if you are hosting a large celebration that you keep in mind your neighbours keep the noise down.

It is important to remember that there are residents who might have to work the evening or early morning of New Years. Or that there were struggles or chal-lenges in their lives where it might be difficult to cele-brate and that they might appreciate the quiet.

Each family has their own traditions that they feel are important to ring in the new year. It is important to be respectful of other traditions and other cultures.

For those residents who want a more colourful ex-plosion to their celebrations, keep in mind that fire-crackers are unsafe to light in residential areas. Find a safe and secluded spot for these celebrations, and make sure that all firecrackers are lit by someone with the knowledge and the responsibility.

There are many larger communities who televise their fireworks, and there are chances to enjoy those moments with friends and family. It is also nice when you can go to a live firework display. But just remem-ber that when you partake in this tradition that you are respectful of the parking availability. Ensure that everyone can enjoy in the celebration.

The new year is a time of renewal for many people. Some people take this time to resolve to improve their lives in one way or another. Resolutions can be a great way to improve ones life as long as they are made in a respectful manner. Make sure they are something that you can achieve. Or if you need help, to ask someone in your life who can provide that support.

Once again were standing on the verge of the unknown. Last year it was the same: we wondered what awaited us in 2015, and in all the Januarys be-fore that, we asked the same question. Now, peering into 2016, we can mere-ly guess what lies ahead.

Although I am anything but a prophet, I can predict at least four things: each of us will face hard times as well as times to celebrate; true satis-faction is a matter of the heart in right relationship with God; God cares for me in every situation; and, no parent watched over their child more lovingly than God watches over us.

In spite of the unknown future, we dont have to walk alone. Seeking His direction and strength, lets move forward with a determination to be blessed by God and to bless others. Pondering the coming new year, I came across an article that expresses

how I want to live my life. The writ-er of this piece is unknown to me but heres what was said:

There is a story of an old man who carried a little can of oil with him everywhere he went and if he passed through a door that squeaked, he poured a little oil on the hinges. If a gate was hard to open, he oiled the latch. And thus he passed through life lubricating all hard places and mak-ing it easier for those who came after him.

But the land into which you are about to cross to possess, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of heaven, a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. Deuteronomy 11:11, 12 (Amplified Bible)

VIEWPOINTS!VIEWPOINTS!!this week 5Dear Ellen

Dear EllenMy eight year old

son has recently started to act out. He cant con-trol his temper and at times he hits others and breaks things around our home. His step-father also had an issue with an-ger. Could he be imitat-ing his step-father even though we have not been together for three years? Signed: Melanie.Dear Melanie

Children who have witnessed violence are far more likely to act ag-gressively than children who have not. This is what is called learned be-haviour.

Often, children ex-posed to family violence will learn to use violence to cope with stress and conflict just the same as they have witnessed. It is also true that children may have delayed reac-tions to things that they have witnessed. Children who have been affected by violence are at risk for difficulties which may appear immediately or in the future. Dear Ellen

My wife is an alco-holic. She had attended rehab centres many times. The longest she has been sober for is two years. Everything was

great during that two year period but then she always begins to drink again. I am so frustrated. I want our marriage to work but at times I dont think it is fair to expose my two boys to her drink-ing. Things have really gotten bad and now my children are acting out. Please help me, Jim.Dear Jim

Dealing with an alco-holic is difficult but there is a lot of support, re-sources and information out there for you. The first thing I would do is become informed about the effects of alcoholism on your children. Chil-dren exposed to a par-ents drinking binge can be very traumatized and confused.

Perhaps you should consider getting their school counsellor to talk to them. Often chil-dren feel uncomfortable speaking about their feelings related to their mothers drinking with family members.

I would also encour-age you to contact our of-fice as we have a Family Therapist who may be able to help all of you. Also consider an Al-Non, a group for friends and family members of an al-coholic, for yourself.

On behalf of Chief Marlo Pritchard and the entire staff of the Weyburn Police Ser-vice we hope each of you had a Christmas that was happy, healthy and filled with the love of the season.

Being a first responder we also know that for many this time of year is not so joyous and happy. We hope that you enjoy the support of those around you. We would like to wish you the best that 2016 can bring.

We understand the stresses of a busy life and of an uncertain economy and the problems that these stresses can bring to rela-tionships. We would like to remind everyone that do-mestic violence is never a

solution and will only mag-nify the issues.

There are many avenues of professional assistance and we will be happy to point anyone in the right directions. The old adage of an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure is certainly appropriate!

We would also like to remind everyone through not only the holiday sea-son, but each day of the year that the fallout from drinking and driving is ab-solutely preventable.

A moment of planning your activity can prevent a lifetime of grief.

Roughriders sign five, extend contractsThe Saskatchewan

Roughriders have an-nounced national receiver S.J. Haidara, international offensive lineman Jarriel King, national defensive back Kwame Adjei, na-tional offensive lineman Aaron Picton and national running back Brandon Deschamps have all signed with the team.

Haidara (61 215) will return for his fourth CFL season and second with the Riders after joining the team in June, 2015. Last season, the 26-year-old played nine regular season games picking up eight re-ceptions for 58 yards and one special teams tackle.

Haidara has played 43 career regular season games through his first four years after originally being selected by the BC Lions in the 2nd round (12th over-all) in the 2013 CFL Draft.

King (65 315) was acquired by the Riders last week in a trade with the Toronto Argonauts. The 28-year-old South Caro-lina product played three regular season games for the Argonauts in 2015. Through three seasons with

the Argos, King has played 29 regular season games, with 26 starts, spending time at guard and tackle.

Both Haidara and King were eligible to become free agents on February 9.

Adjei (61 205) signs with the Riders after play-ing five collegiate seasons at Mount Allison. The 22-year-old Brampton, Ont. athlete picked up 176 total defensive tackles, six-and-a-half quarterback sacks, and eight intercep-tions in 40 career regular season games. Adjei at-tended training camp with the Riders last season after the team selected him in the 5th round (42nd over-all) of the 2014 CFL Draft.

Picton (64 295) offi-cially joins the Green and White after his draft rights were picked up by the Rid-ers in a September, 2015 trade with the Calgary Stampeders. The Regina native spent the last five seasons with the University of Regina playing 38 ca-reer conference games on the Rams offensive line.

The Stampeders had se-lected Picton in the sixth round (53rd overall) of the

2015 CFL Draft.Deschamps (60 215)

signs with the Riders after spending the previous five seasons at the University of British Columbia. Last season, the Prince George, B.C. native played eight conference games total-ing 1,191 yards and seven touchdowns on 167 carries. He also had nine carries for 79 yards and a touchdown in the 2015 Vanier Cup when the Thunderbirds were crowned national champions. Deschamps at-tended 2014 training camp with the BC Lions as an un-drafted free agent.

The Roughriders also signed extensions with international defensive lineman Tearrius George and national defensive back Matt Webster.

George (64 277) will return for his ninth CFL season and sixth with the Riders. The Kansas State product originally joined

the Green and White as a free agent in February 2011. Through 111 ca-reer regular season games, George has collected 181 defensive tackles, 42 quarterback sacks, and six forced fumbles.

George was named a West Division All-Star in 2013 and 2014, and also won his first career Grey Cup as a member of the Riders in 2013.

Webster (511 195) will remain with the Rid-ers for his third CFL sea-son after originally being selected by the team in the 5th round (39th overall) in the 2014 CFL Draft.

T h e 2 3 - y e a r - o l d Queens University prod-uct has played 25 regular season games through his first two seasons, picking up 25 defensive tackles and 17 special teams tackles. Webster was eli-gible to become a free agent on February 9.

Health expert recommends resolution to quit smokingIts not unusual for res-

taurants or other public buildings to be smoke free either voluntarily or by state law to protect nonsmokers from second-hand smoke.

But the secondhand-smoke problem persists in private homes where each family sets its own rules. When a smoker decides to light up inside their house, the secondhand-smoke could effect the health of everyone who lives there, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Thats why getting the smoker in your life to quit could be the best New Years resolution you come

up with for 2016, said Dr. Gregory L. Jantz, a mental health expert and certified addiction specialist.

There are many rea-sons why smokers should make an effort to quit, said Jantz. But certainly near the top of the list is the health of the people around them. Since 1964, about 2.5 million nonsmok-ers have died from health problems caused by expos-ure to secondhand smoke, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

In children, secondhand smoke can cause ear infec-tions; more frequent and severe asthma attacks; res-piratory symptoms, such

as coughing, sneezing, and shortness of breath; res-piratory infections, such as bronchitis and pneumonia; and a greater risk for sud-den infant death syndrome, the CDC reports.

Adults who never smoked also arent im-mune to the effects of sec-ondhand smoke, the CDC reports. They can suffer from heart disease, lung cancer and stroke.

The good news is that secondhand-smoke ex-posure has decreased over the years. From 1988 to 1991, about 88 percent of nonsmokers who were test-ed showed evidence of be-ing exposed to secondhand

smoke. That had dropped to 25 percent by 2011-12, the CDC reported.

Thats a move in the right direction, and it would be great to see that percentage continue to drop, Jantz says.

Here are a few steps anyone can take toward making their homes smoke free in the coming year:

The organization Amer-icans for Nonsmokers Rights recommends post-ing a sign on the front door to notify visitors that the home is smoke free. The group also suggests that all caregivers and babysit-ters know not to smoke in or around the home,

and that any smokers who live in the house to smoke outdoors, away from en-trances and windows.

Recognize that smok-ers face a difficult task if they try to quit, said Jantz. Encourage them to grad-ually wean themselves off the cigarette habit. Vari-ous products on the market can help, such as nicotine patches, though the suc-cess rate isnt high.

Smokers can also try a product that has a higher success rate and doesnt re-quire nicotine replacement, such as NicoBloc, a solu-tion that is placed on the cigarette filter and blocks most of the tar and nico-

tine intake, allowing the smoker to quit over time. NicoBloc also reduces the amount of secondhand smoke from the cigarette.

Dont stop with just the house. You also can make any family vehicles smoke free, further reducing the time family members might be exposed to sec-ondhand smoke.

Nicotine addiction can be stubborn, said Jantz. When people have mul-tiple addictions, its often the last one they are able to kick. But dont be discour-aged. People do quit, and if there are smokers in your life and in your home, they can quit, too.

Top Stories of the YearHumane Society/PetValu team up for awareness event

The Weyburn Humane Society and PetValu teamed up for the National Pet Adoption Weekend fundraiser and awareness event. Representatives of the Hu-mane Society were at the PetValu store February 6, February 7 and February 8.

Were so excited. February 6, 7 and 8 is National Pet Adoption Weekend and the Weyburn Humane Society will be at PetValu, said WHS president Pam Arndt-Schick. So come on down to PetValu, grab a lunch or some sweets, look at some of our animals up for adoption and lets see if we can get them fur-ever homes.

The Humane Society will bring along a few of the animals for residents to interact with, although many will still be left back at the shelter, requiring homes as well. In 2013, The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies collected data nationwide and noted that approximately 46, 578 animals were admitted into their shelters. That did not include information in regards to other establishments that also shelter homeless animals, such as individual private shelters, rescue and fos-ter groups. Although great strides have been made over the years in regards to homeless animals, it remains apparent that the number of animals without a home is still quite staggering.

This National Adoption weekend fundraiser and adoption weekend held in Weyburn will be our local communitys chance to help tackle the problem.

As part of the weekend awareness event, the Humane Society will also have a chili fundraiser at the PetValu store. All the proceeds raised from the chili lunch-eon will be put towards the Humane Society.

Chili with a bun and a bottle of water are available to purchase for $8. The meal is ready to take with you, so residents can grab a quick lunch to go, in support of the fundraiser.

Anyone who is interested in more information about the adoption program is encouraged to stop by the PetValu store over the weekend or contact the Weyburn Humane Society at (306)848-7387. The WHS also encourages you to visit the website at weyburnhumanesociety.ca.

A fresh perspective (artist profile on Viktor Birkus)Viktor Birkus arrived in Weyburn just over five years ago and with that, he

brought along a fresh perspective.Viktor and his wife, Maryna, travelled from Odessa, Ukraine, where life looks

a lot different than here in Weyburn. Birkus was pleasantly surprised when he first arrived in the city of Weyburn, stating that It is just like they said it would be. A very quiet and peaceful city. The people are very friendly here.

After settling in, Viktor began to explore the city, this time with camera in hand. He began taking photos in 2011 and his time and involvement in this art form has grown quickly. Over the years, Viktor has entered trades fairs, contests and began framing and selling much sought after prints.

One particular print that has caught the attention of many people, uses a tech-nique that Birkus applies to the photo in post-processing. This particular technique is referred to as photo painting and gives the photograph an art-like painting type of finish.

Birkus uses Photoshop finishing in a majority of his photos as he feels that the photo is just not quite done otherwise. Photoshop takes it to the next level. Viktors work in Photoshop gives his photographs a very original, colorful and

distinctive finish.Viktor has developed an eye for seeing things in a different light and a keen

sense in the use of post-editing techniques. One such light, is morning light. Birkus states that a lot of photographers use the sunset hours and that is one par-ticular reason he decided to take a different approach and photograph sunrises.

Viktors talent for approaching his subjects from a different angle has enabled him to create a distinct and delightful portfolio. He has created a CD called I Live in Weyburn, which is a collection of 100 photos from the Weyburn area. Birkus created this CD for family and friends back home, as well as a memory for him.

Viktor and his wife are scheduled to leave Weyburn at the end of April. The couple are relocating to B.C. Viktor and Maryna plan to make stops in some of Canadas most beautiful and scenic areas such as the Canadian Rockies along the way.

Viktor is excited for his new venture and will be sure to capture some of the countrys most beautiful scenes on his camera. He will be sure to take along with him the great memories he has made in Weyburn, along with the images he cap-tured. To view these images visit www.viktorbirkus.blogspot.ca.

Crocus 80 to stage Rocky Horror ShowCrocus 80 Theatre will stage Rocky Horror Show at the King George Hotel

bringing this cult classic live on stage with a large cast of local talent.Rocky Horror Show will be staged on Thursday, October 29; Friday, Octo-

ber 30 and Sunday, November 1. The Thursday and Friday will be dinner theatre evening shows, while the Sunday will be a matinee performance.

We are very excited about the partnership with the King George so that we can stage the Rocky Horror Show for the first time in Weyburns history, said Sabrina Kraft, director.

The Rocky Horror Show is a musical with music, lyrics and a book by Richard OBrien. A humorous tribute to the science fiction and horror B movies of the late 1940s through to the early 1970s, the musical tells the story of a newly-engaged couple getting caught in a storm and coming to the home of a mad transvestite scientist unveiling his new creation, a muscle man named Rocky Horror.

The King George is truly the best place to perform Rocky Horror Show be-cause of the mature themes throughout the musical, said Kraft.

It is also a great opportunity to be working with so many talented local cast members, said Kraft. There are so many creative minds on the cast, that they truly have added to the dynamic of transforming each practice into such a fun ex-perience. I cant wait for the finished piece to be revealed to the public.

Cast members include: Marcel Roy as Frank N. Furter, Tracy Cameron as Ma-genta, Nicole Griffin as Usherette and Columbia, Kyla Sonnenberg as Janet Weiss,

Steve Wilson as Brad Majors, Chantel Cooke as The Narrator, Bailey Brookes as Eddie, Austin Cameron as Dr. Everett V. Scott, Patrick Black as Rocky Horror, Dave Frayn as Riff Raff and assorted cast as the Phantoms.

It has been a great time learning the songs and the choreography as a cast, said Kraft. Together, the cast has aimed to truly make Rocky Horror Show as an interactive experience for our audience.

There will be a pit band providing the music, which should add even more excitement to the production.

Kraft also feels fortunate for her backstage crew, who are also a valuable asset to her production. The process of selecting costumes and props have all been coordinated by my stage manager Connie Nightingale, that the Rocky Horror Show is a great experience.

I also feel fortunate to have found a good light and sound crew, because all those final pieces are important when it comes to staging Rocky Horror.

There is an opportunity for audience participation for Rocky Horror Show, and Kraft invites anyone who is interested to come dressed in costume.

I think that is part of the fun of staging Rocky Horror right by Halloween, the costumes become part of the fun.

One thing that Kraft wanted to note for those interested, is that some of the audience participation for the live show of Rocky Horror Show is different than attending the Rocky Horror Picture Show movie on the big screen.

Tenille Arts: overwhelming response to BreatheWeyburns Tenille Arts recently released the song

Breathe on iTunes as a fundraiser for Cystic Fibrosis.The response to the song was overwhelming. On the

release day, it went all the way up to #6 on the Country iTunes Chart! It has created awareness for Cystic Fibro-sis in a unique way and I cant wait to see how far we can take it. I hope people continue to download the song, said Tenille.

Tenille had two TV performances and interviews leading up to the release, and also visited local radio sta-tions in Weyburn and Regina.

Arts also entertained during the 7th Annual Cystic Fi-brosis fundraiser that was being held at McKenna Hall on May 1. Mike and Cara Weger have organized this event for the past seven years following their daughter Teresas Cystic Fibrosis diagnosis when she was two and a half years old.

This year, the proud parents were happy to watch Ter-esa help co-emcee the event with Derek Meyers from Regina Global TV.

I got involved with Cystic Fibrosis fundraising be-cause of Teresa Weger. Shes an amazing 10 year old girl who happens to have CF, said Tenille.

A second fundraiser was held at the Cugnet Centre on May 14. The event, titled So You Think You Can Dance Weyburn, featured local amateur dancers showcasing their solos and duets.

Tenille Arts, who was a guest judge, took the stage as

well to provide entertainment. Arts, who has used her talented singing voice to in-

crease awareness about Cystic Fibrosis was one of the top eight performers competing in the Boots and Hearts Showcase Competition.

This was an amazing opportunity to a well-deserving emerging artist who has given greatly to the Cystic Fi-brosis fundraisers on a local level.

In October, Tenille signed a publishing deal with Hal Oven at Noble Vision Music Group, and moved to Music City, Nashville, Tenn.

She has been writing and co-writing songs since she was 15, including making trips down to Nashville to work on material, so this deal is a realization of a long-held dream for her.

She said she will continue to write and co-write songs, and will have the opportunity to pitch them to singers for possible inclusion on their albums. Tenille added she will continue to work on her own stuff, as her aim is to compile enough material for a CD, which she can then take to the labels located in Nashville.

She will also be able to record demos and will have opportunities to perform her songs around Nashville, with the hope of singing at the famous Bluebird Cafe again. For any more information on Tenille Arts visit her website at www.tenillearts.com.

Please visit www.cysticfibrois.ca for information re-garding the disease and their fight for a cure.

Rotarians hear benefits of the Toastmasters clubThere are many benefits

that can be derived from learning and improving public speaking skills by taking part in the Toast-masters Club in Weyburn, members of the Rotary Club heard at a recent luncheon meeting.

Brad Korbo, who has been a Toastmaster for 26 years, outlined the pro-grams and meeting formats for the Wey-Better Speak-ers Club, which is seeking

to charter a new club in Weyburn. The club meets at the Weyburn Public Li-brary at 7 p.m. on Thurs-day evenings.

Korbo noted his asso-ciation with Toastmasters began when he changed jobs to one that required him to speak and make presentations.

I did not enjoy it, and when I looked around at my audience, they werent enjoying my presentation,

and I knew I had to do something. Korbo visited a few clubs, and found one at the third club he visited, the Wild Oats Club, which met at the Sask. Wheat Pool at the time.

Established in 1924, to-day the club has 330,000 members in 15,400 clubs around the world, he said, with southeast Asia in par-ticular growing.

Outlining how club meetings are held, Korbo

said every member has the opportunity to do or say something, whether it is an impromptu table talk, a formal speech, leading the session or doing an evalua-tion of those who spoke.

When a person joins Toastmasters, their pro-gram has two streams, one for communications, and the other for leadership de-velopment, each with four levels and 10 projects.

Each project helps you

develop particular skills, said Korbo.

Some of the speaking projects include how to organize a talk or speech, how to develop ones con-fidence, how to use ges-tures or how to use humour in a presentation.

As a member, one can be a club officer at the club level or at a higher level. In the communications pro-gram, there are 10 differ-ent speeches a member can

make, each one of which is evaluated by fellow mem-bers, and each member goes at their own pace.

Its a safe place to risk and make mistakes. You can try something new and see what you can improve on, and you will have op-portunities to gain con-fidence, he said, adding a person can take one or five weeks to prepare for a speech, at whatever pace they feel comfortable with.


As we count down the days to abrand-new year, wed like to thank

you for stopping here. Yourfriendship, support and kindness

too make us so very grateful toeach one of you. We hope that your

New Year is simply a blast fromthe very first moment until the last.

Happy New Year& Best Wishes!

With best wishes for a happy and healthy

New Year to all.

Producers reminded of crop insurance deadline

The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) is reminding pro-ducers Dec. 31 is the final deadline to submit 2014 AgriStability forms and pay 2015 program fees.

Producers must pay program fees by the end of December to participate in the AgriStability Program for the 2015 program year. An enrolment/fee notice was issued earlier in the year providing details on the fee and the deadline for payment. April 30, 2015, (or 30 days from the date on the enrolment notice, whichever is later) was the initial deadline for paying program fees.

A 20 per cent penalty will be added to the fee if producers missed the in-itial deadline.

All forms for the 2014 program year need to be submitted by Dec. 31 to ensure producers can ac-cess AgriStability benefits. The initial deadline for sending in program forms was Sept. 30. Forms re-ceived after this date and before Dec. 31 will have

a $500 per month penalty; however, if no benefit is generated there will be no penalty applied.

SCIC accepts all pro-gram forms from individ-uals (sole proprietors), corporations, co-operatives and other entities. Indi-viduals are reminded the T1163 form, which details their income and expense information, must also be submitted to the Canada Revenue Agency.

Producers also have a number of options to meet this deadline.

The program forms can be submitted through Ag-Connect, as well, producers can review their enrolment/fee notice and detailed cal-culation of benefits through this online option. AgCon-nect is appreciated for its ease of use and the ability to quickly send AgriStabil-ity information to SCIC, al-lowing processing to begin sooner. SCIC also con-tinues to accept AgriStabil-ity program forms through mail, fax or at any of the 21 Crop Insurance offices across the province.

Mammoth tusk fossil

is discoveredIn early October, the

Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) was contacted by Derek Lu-cik, Operations Manager with Inland Aggregates, about a potential fossil discovery at a work site just a few kilometres east of Saskatoon.

The fossil was con-firmed as a tusk of a woolly mammoth and is currently being con-served at the RSM.

As we were stock-piling gravel that had just been mined, our oper-ator Richard Kaweski noticed something that was outside the norm, Lucik said.

Richard came down from his machine and put the tusk piece aside. Ive heard that this is not uncommon in our Al-berta locations and that they normally contact the museum; so we at-tempted to do the same thing here. I simply looked online and found Tim Tokaryks contact information and reached out. He responded quickly and definitively that it was a tusk. The swift action of Kaweski and Lucik enabled the team at the RSM to prop-erly conserve the tusk.

Conservation of ivory from fossil animals is extremely delicate as, once the tusk becomes exposed to air, it begins to dry out, expand, and crack, said Tim Tok-aryk, Royal Saskatch-ewan Museum Curator of Vertebrate Palaeontol-ogy. If left untreated, it would be totally de-stroyed. We certainly appreciate Inland Aggre-gates and their workers in the discovery of this find. It would be lost to everyone if it had not been for them.

This is a great story of industry assisting in preserving Saskatch-ewans palaeontologic-al history, said Mark Docherty, Minister of

Parks, Culture and Sport. I commend the employees of Inland Ag-gregates for protecting the tusk and contacting the Royal Saskatchewan Museum.

Industry, through active gravel pits, sur-face and subsurface mining, construction or road work, often un-earths rocks that are millions of years old, and they may contain never-before-seen fos-sils. Frequently, these rocks are not visible on the surface in Saskatch-ewan.

By industry and the museum working together, notification of fossil discoveries could add volumes not only to the history of life in Saskatchewan, but the history of life on the planet, said Tokaryk.

Mammoth remains are unique in that they tell of an environment of tundra at the edges of ice fields during the gla-cial period.

Almost all of the Royal Saskatchewan Museums collection of mammoth remains are isolated bones and teeth except for the partial skeleton of one found near Kyle.

!GAMES!!GAMESthis weekARIES Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, practicality is a big part of your personality, but sometimes thinking through the reasons to do something over and over can be tedious. Let loose a little bit this week.

TAURUS Apr 21/May 21Taurus, expect to feel pulled in two directions this week. Its a pivotal time at work, but in the same measure, you have much going on at home. Think things over carefully.

GEMINI May 22/Jun 21Gemini, you may fi nd your energy levels unusually low this week, and your produc-tivity may suffer as a result. Maybe someone else can energize you a bit and lend

a helping hand.

CANCER Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you will get to your destination soon enough, but the trip may be a bit of a headache. Patience is essential this week; otherwise, you may give up-

prematurely.

LEO Jul 23/Aug 23Misinformation is spread-ing, so research everything to make informed decisions this week, Leo. It may help you avoid an expensive mis-

take down the line.

VIRGO Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, you may have a won-derful time with family or friends this week, even if you are crunched for time. Savor the small moments

as they come your way.

LIBRA Sept 23/Oct 23Libra, this is a good week to catch up on paperwork, fi ling or tedious tasks you have let fall by the wayside. Make use of the slow week

to recharge.

SCORPIO Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, you will be missed as much as you miss an-other person this week. Wait out this separation a little while longer, keeping in mind that your reunion is

on its way.

SAGITTARIUS Nov 23/Dec 21Do whatever you need to do to rejuvenate your spirit, Sagittarius. Spend some more time with friends and avoid prolonged solo activi-ties. Soon your motivation

will return.

CAPRICORN Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, this may turn out to be a strange week, as you cant seem to fully focus on anything. You may get frus-trated at your inability to concentrate, but that focus

will return soon.

AQUARIUS Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, if you become too wrapped up in business or personal obligations, take a step back and reevaluate your priorities. Some things

need to be rearranged.

PISCES Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, you are on a quest to fi nd the perfect gift for a friend. This person will ap-preciate your efforts, and your bond will grow stronger.

Ring in 2016 with these lifelong learning tips

New Years Eve can be a time of laughter and enjoyment. Invite friends over that have children and plan a special night of fun together with activities that are sure to delight all ages.

The start of a New Year provides a wonderful ex-cuse to get together with friends and family and brush up on your literacy skills. Ring in 2016 together with these lifelong learning tips.

Aim High. Gather your family together and have everybody write down at least three New Years resolutions. When every-one has finished, take turns reading your resolutions out loud and discuss ways you could help each other to achieve them.

Read Together. Start a book club with friends and family! Pick a new book to read as a group, or re-read one of your old favorites.

No matter what, dont forget to discuss the book when everyone is done, it will help improve reading comprehension and vo-cabulary.

Math Challenge. With a partner, take a deck of cards and place them facedown on the ground. Starting with two cards each, see who can add the numbers on their cards the fastest. Keep going and see how many cards you both can do! Being able to do simple math on the go will come in handy when it comes to calculating tips, estimating interest, and figuring out your change.

Dream Vacation. Just because the holiday season

is over, doesnt mean you cant still get away. Work together as a family to plan your dream vacation! Begin with an imaginary budget and see how many places you can go, or ac-tivities you can do, while staying within your allot-ted expenses.

Get Involved-Jo in schools, libraries, families, and literacy organizations across Canada on January 27 and celebrate Family Literacy Day! Here are some ideas for activities to share with your family:

New Years is a great time of reflection on the past. Travel back in time and share with your family some of your favourite memories from your child-hood. Cook them your favourite dish from when you were a child. Share with them what it was like to grow up when you were their ages. Discuss and share what kinds of music/television shows you watched as a child.

For entertainment, play your favourite childhood

board games. Let your children share some of their favourite things with you.

Make a time capsule together. Gather pictures, drawings, artwork and memories from the last year. Decide when you are going to open your time capsule (next New Years for example).

Have a family pajama party camp out. Build a fort in the family/living room. Bring out pillows, sleeping bags, etc. Read a favourite story together. Enjoy ring-ing in the New Year togeth-er as a family.

Make some count-down goodie bags. Fill a brown paper bag with a craft idea or a game. Draw a clock on the outside. Have one for each hour to countdown New Years. This is a great way to help children learn about num-bers, the concept of time and reading a clock.

These are just a few of the many ways to ring in the New Year. Have fun! Make memories!

Father-and-son sledding funLarry Bumstead and his son Shane ride together on a sled down the tobagganing hill at Confederation Drive, as they enjoy the moderate tem-peratures and fresh snowfall from the night before.


Cooling system replaced at St. JosephsPatients, residents, staff

and visitors at St. Josephs Hospital of Estevan will enjoy the security of a new cooling system when the hot weather hits next year.

The $880,000 project has been completed under budget and on schedule.

The Ministry of Health funded the project. The project, jointly managed by St. Josephs Hospital of Estevan and Sun Country Health Region, accepted bids from three compan-ies earlier this year for purchase and replacement of two new chillers and a

cooling tower.The cooling tower was

awarded to H.V.A.C. Sales as the successful tender. The chiller acquisition was awarded to H.V.A.C. Sales and the chiller installation was awarded to Walters Industrial Mechanical.

We are very pleased that the work has been completed on time and under budget, said John Knoch, Vice President Corporate and Financial Services, Sun Country Health Region.

No t t o p roceed would have meant that

St. Josephs may have en-countered a lack of air con-ditioning over the summer if the second chiller had failed, said Knoch.

Service to patients in the 53 acute care wing and the 38 Long-Term Care wing, staff and visitors, as well as the operating rooms and central sterilization areas that require specific temperature/humidity con-trols, would all have been impacted.

The region could not allow that to occur.We need a reliable cooling sys-tem at St. Josephs.


Its a Wrap!
