(Submitted) - TwoWeyburn firefighters re-cently returned fromPueblo, Colorado after at-tending a course sponsoredand fully funded by Cana-dian Pacific Railway.
Platoon leaders LindseyLeko and Kevin Cooke at-tended the Crude by RailEmergency Response coursetaught at the Security andEmergency Response Train-ing Center south of Pueblo,Colorado. Approximately40 firefighters from across
Local firefighters attend Crude by Rail emergency courseNorth America attended thecourse designed for the firstresponder to a major trainderailment involving crudeoil or other hazardous con-tents. The course coveredtopics including rail car de-sign, hazards, product iden-tification, tactics and firesuppression.
Leko, a 17-year-veteranand training officer with thefire department was mar-veled at the facility where thetraining took place.
"Basically it is a large base
in the middle of the desertwhere all sorts of testing isdone on rail cars, locomo-tives and other modes oftransport" says Leko. "Theyhave a good supply of equip-ment out there includingvarious types of rail cars,tankers and learning aids alldesigned to help firefightersin the field."
Cooke, a 23-year-veteranof the fire departmentagreed and echoed Leko'sobservations.
"The staff out there were
very knowledgeable and wereextremely helpful to studentstaking the course. There wasalso a wide variety of experi-enced people out there tak-ing the training as well, so itwas sort of a big team effort,"added Cooke.
The instructors simulatedthe burning of the rail carsas best they could with largepropane fire simulators andalcohol based fuels becauseactual burning of crude oilis not allowed.
"It still got hot enough and
the alcohol based fuelsmoved in puddles on theground, so you really had tobe aware of where you werestanding and where the run-off was going," said Cooke.
Students controlled thefire with hand lines, large vol-ume pumps and fire foam toeventually put the fire out.
"In reality, hand linesprobably would not be usedin derailments as crude oilburns much hotter than pro-pane and firefighters wouldnot get that close to rail cars
that are on fire, but it seemedreal enough," said Cooke.
It is important to have aplan for events such as thisas the resources that go intoit are huge.
"This is not the type ofevent where a fire departmentshows up with an 800 gallonfire truck and four pails offoam and expects to put thefire out," said Leko. "Planninghas to go in place for largevolumes of water, foam andother supplies dependingupon where the fire is andwhat access is to the site."
Weyburn Fire Departmenthas responded to rail emer-gencies in the past. One was amajor derailment with a largefire near Ralph and they'vealso attended collisions be-tween trains and vehicles.
The plan is to bring backthis training to the rest of themembers of the WeyburnFire Department so thatthey have some basic aware-ness of derailment emergen-cies. Plans are also beingmade to provide a trainingday with departments suchas Yellow Grass, Midale,Fillmore, Stoughton andSedley, to name a few, as theyhave rail lines hauling crudeoil going through their com-munities. The Weyburn FireDepartment will contact CPRail so that they can plansomething major and havethe equipment necessary todo it properly.
When asked what stoodout during their time inPueblo, both Weyburnfirefighters had differentanswers.
"The amount of energystored in metal under pres-sure on railcar derailmentsis incredible," said Cooke."You may attend a derail-ment and find twisted andbent metal everywhere, butyou always have to be awarethat this metal has a memoryand if it lets go or is cut, itwill immediately spring backto its original shape andform which is a definite dan-ger for any person standingclose to it."
Leko was surprised at theamount of water and foamneeded to cool and extinguisha crude oil fire. "It may takehours of pouring water onthese rail cars, cooling themoff enough so that the foamcan work and suppress flam-mable vapors and eventuallyput the fire out," he said.
The Weyburn Fire De-partment hopes to sendmembers away for futuretraining in rail car fires, bigtruck rescues, MVA extrica-tion courses and incidentcommand courses. Thistraining will make the depart-ment better prepared tohandle any emergency that itmay find in the response area.

Congratulations to the fine women who were nominatedfor awards and to those who received them. The judges couldnot have had an easy time deciding among such fine candi-dates.
Thank you to Quota International for inviting me to speakat the awards dinner.
I chose to speak about my journey to my own career inmedicine, a little bit about the international projects of whichI've been privileged to be a part, and about valuing women'schoices even when we don't understand them.
I did not speak about Bill C51 even though I am deeplyconcerned about the fact that every advance that we havemade towards equality, justice for working people, even thefive day work week has depended upon social action - andthis bill makes no distinction about type of social action oractivity might constitute a "crime". Beyond stopping the ladyfrom crossing the border because she was once hospitalizedfor depression or the man with a beard just because he lookssuspicious both of which already occur, this bill permits thebreak-up of any meeting and the pick-up of anybody forimprisonment without explanation. It is going to passanyways and give lawyers both a headache and a fat wallet.
I did not speak about the war against ISIS although theclothing I modelled came from women whose lives have beenat risk for the last twenty-five years. The West has "gone into"Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq in the last two decades, eachtime leaving the country and the people in a worse state thanthey were before. Over 1.2 million civilians have been killedin Afghanistan and Iraq by Western forces. It was a Cana-dian soldier who said, "I shoot one Talaban and ten stepforward to take his place". Of course, we are on their land!Canada becoming involved in a military fashion in Syria isinsanity. Definition of insane: "doing the same thing overand over and expecting a different outcome". Besides failedstates, what comes out of involvement? My unsophisticatedgranny said, after losing two sons in the second world war -"war only brings wealth to the arms merchants".
If the rulers and decision-makers of the world are stillacting on a knee-jerk response to violence, maybe they needto be replaced. I have a good idea of where resources mightbe found. There is a dearth of women at those tables - womenwho might think that the "collateral damage" of the lives ofwomen and children is not worth "surgical targeting". Thereis a wealth of wonderful women who make daily decisionsworthy of awards, not just in Weyburn but around the world.
Thanks again for the opportunity to share my thoughts.Dale Dewar, MD, FCFP, Wynyard, SK

Words are powerful thingsBy Linda Wegner
Words are powerful. Is there really a more trite saying in this world? Perhaps it's just becauseI'm a writer but it seems that true, albeit commonplace, saying is a foundational principleunderstood by everyone. Having said that, some days words take on an even more powerfulmeaning than usual.
Take this past week, for instance: our son and his wife, along with their two beloved dogsmoved into our place for a couple of days. Meals were intermittent; my emotions, frazzled.Two days later they set off for a three day drive to their new home. Enough said. As happy asI was for them and the excellent opportunities that awaited them, I sure needed a bit ofencouragement.
On that matter someone once said: "Unless you put out your water-jugs when it rains youwill catch no water" and I, among many, can attest to the truth of that snippet of wisdom.During these challenging days I've had numbers of friends phone or email to see how I wasdoing and there were more invitations to meals than I could accept. Each gesture of encourage-ment is so appreciated.
One message stands out just because it was such a seemingly ordained moment. I'd gone toVancouver Island for a medical appointment and at a particular moment in time, an agricul-tural professional I'd met a number of years ago just happened to be in the same store, at theend of the same aisle.
"You're Linda Wegner, aren't you?" she asked. Surprised but delighted to see her, we chattedbriefly but not before she told me how much she enjoyed the monthly column I write in anagricultural publication. I continued shopping, buoyed by the jug of blessing I'd just received.
Don't hesitate to share words of encouragement. Someone needs them!
By Helen WallerSpring is in the air. Ironically the snow is still on the ground
and my house was just about to get a whole lot chillier. If youare anything like me, spring makes me want to house clean,organize closets, move furniture around and even paint.
There’s only one problem... and he happens to stand sixfeet tall. He is my husband and he develops a slight twitchwhenever I use the ‘paint’ word. He figures we could get atleast one, two... well, actually eight or so years out of the lastpaint job.

Majority rules! - that's what we say democracy means. But many of us do not act as thoughwe believe it! As Federal and Provincial elections appear on the horizon, valiant measures willbe undertaken to get voters to the polls to cast their ballot. Although we will to go to war todefend our democracy or fight for the right of others to have a free say in their own future,far too many Canadians don't bother to get out to exercise their franchise. We're content tolet others decide for us. It happens in churches too. People should not be surprised then tofind that the world is run by those who show up!
Another other aspect of group decision making is that whatever the majority decides iswhat 100% of us need to be willing to support. Once the decision is made, that is what we allneed to get behind, or at the very least, do nothing to oppose. However, let the decision beother than what some people would have chosen, and they think that they can subvert thewill of the majority by speaking against what the majority has decided, even campaigning togain others to their minority view. In fact, it is not unknown to have people remove theirsupport, financial or personal presence, to demonstrate their unhappiness with the decisionin the hope of overturning it. People threaten to leave the church, or to withhold promisedfinancial support in order to sway the majority, or to prevent them from proceeding.
In my experience, if a church group prays for the guidance of God's Spirit in the decisionthat lies before them, those who try to oppose it after the fact by a rear-guard action, will facedisappointment. They believe that their withdrawn support will be effective, but discoverthat it is not. If they leave the Church, others arrive to replace them. If they withdrawfinancial support, the next year's balance sheet shows that funds have come (may I saymiraculously?) to replace what was withheld. If God is in favour of what has been decided,those are pretty big odds to counter! The Bible does say: "If God is for us, who can be againstus?" But we do need to be sure that we are moving in God's direction, not trying to force Godto move in ours! The Rev. Bob Wilson, Knox Presbyterian Church

mature adult would. I wait until he leaves. I had a six hour window of opportunity while hewent to the city. He is a farm boy, after all, and the same twitch he has when talking aboutpaint, hits him around the five hour mark in the city.
So, I headed down the local hardware store to pick out some paint. The good thingabout my six hour time period is that it does not allow a lot of time to drive myself crazytrying to pick just the right shade of beige. I zoned in on the general shade I wanted andpicked out the swatch. It was called ‘Rock Bottom’. I had to laugh. This color was meant tobe. When my husband got home and saw what I had done, our marriage may just hit that.
Paint names have become very creative over the years. I saw colors named after foods like‘Bagel’ and ‘Death by Chocolate’ but then there are some, not so appetizing ones like‘Mouse’s Back’ and ‘Dragon’s Blood’. I don't know who makes up these paint names, butwe need to talk.
I have yet to meet one single person, EVER, who exclaimed “Ohhhh, I love the color ofmice. Especially their back. Their back is such a nice shade of grey. That colour would bevery relaxing in the living room.” That doesn't even make sense to me. It got me thinking ofsome perfect paint names that actually relate to the whole painting experience. Here's a listof my top ten favorites.
1. Surprise, honey!2. The kids fingerprints will look great on this color tomorrow.3. Now you will need to buy new furniture to match this paint color.4. Whoops! Was that a can of paint I just knocked over!5. Your mother in law will say "That's different! "6. Your father in law will never even notice.7. You will be painting this wall again next year.8. Your boys will make a hole in this wall.9. Final straw.10. Thanks for helping, honey.For anyone interested in knowing how my painting experience turned out, I will give you
a hint. It's my new favorite color. Number 10.

Annual ‘Pink Day’ a successThe annual Red Cross
Pink Shirt Day was held onApril 1. The campaign is in-
tended to bring awareness tobullying in Saskatchewanand to encourage both
awareness and action to thissocial issue. Last year a totalof 135 communities and259 schools participated.According to the Red Cross,Canadian teachers rankedcyber bullying as their issueof highest concern out of sixoptions listed and 89percent state that bullying andviolence are serious prob-lems in our public schools.The effects of such harass-ment , whether it be physicalor emotional, can have det-rimental effects on studentsproductivity including loss ofinterest in school activities,more absenteeism, skipping/dropping classes, lowergrades and tardiness.

The cost of your ticket - atwin corridor highway thatwould entirely bypass the city
Letter to the editor: Waking up to find out you just won the Lotto Twin 39!remain a city cut in half, asresidents continue to sufferhuge inconvenience andsafety issues with increasedrail traffic. Now add a fu-ture decrease in business traf-fic due to this bypass plan.
At a meeting last year,Tetra Tech made it clear thattheir number one goal wasto create an uninterruptedflow of twined traffic at aspeed of 110 km/hr. Theyhad balked at suggestions ofusing the existing 39 routebecause of 3rd Street andGovernment Road intersec-tions. It appears they alsodiscarded mention thatthese troublesome bottle-necks could be closed off inexchange for an overpassand could be integratedanywhere between 11thstreet and 16th street.
At this more recent meet-ing, Tetra Tech representa-tives went on to expoundhow the zone created be-tween the existing city andthe proposed south westcorridor would naturally fillwith development, industrialand or residential, eventhough this continues to failto address the ongoing situ-ation of emergency servicesbeing held up by CP Rail traf-fic, preventing access to thesouth side of the city.
Case in point..How many of you can say
that you have been toVegreville Alberta via hwy 16to Edmonton? Many of youwill say "sure I have", but didyou actually drive throughthe town of 5,700 and per-haps stop to shop or visit arestaurant?
More than likely not, why?identical type of bypass.
I don't think you will findtoo many people that woulddisagree that highway 39needs to be twined (includ-ing myself), however, itwould be to everyone's ad-vantage if the City, CP railas well as the Provincial Gov-ernment could come to-gether and re-examine theiroptions. How many businessare going to lose out as op-posed to the handful ofusual suspects that are goingto benefit? A quick look atan RM map makes for aninteresting read.
Ever wonder where yourambulance and fire trucksare parked?
Maybe that won't matterif you've won the Lotto?

at a public viewing, Tetra

Saskatchewan exportstook a 7.2 per cent jump inFebruary 2015 when com-pared to February 2014,well ahead of the 0.7 per centdecrease posted nationallyaccording to StatisticsCanada. Exports from theprovince totaled $2.6 billionin February 2015.
"The year-over-year rise inexports is good news," Min-ister responsible for TradeJeremy Harrison said. "Wehave a thriving export mar-ket in Saskatchewan whichis distributing products allover the globe."
Major increases on a year-over-year basis were re-corded for farm, fishing andfood products (up 17.6 percent); metal ores and non-metallic minerals (up 58.7per cent); metal and non-metallic mineral products(up 403.9 per cent); andconsumer goods (up 66.0per cent).
"Saskatchewan's exportsector is very diverse with suc-cessful businesses able toshowcase quality productsin a very competitive mar-ket," Harrison said. "It is con-tributing to our strongeconomy by creating jobsand opening up new oppor-tunities in growth markets."
In the first two months of2015, exports in the prov-ince were $5.4 billion, up10.5 per cent over the sameperiod last year.

Find the right service from the rightcare provider at the right time
One of the improvement projects in Sun Country HealthRegion this past year goes to the very core of our goal toprovide efficient and effective health care service to the pub-lic. The project was designed to guide patients and theirfamilies through the maze of health care providers and pro-grams to find the right care at the right time from the rightprovider.
The project has demonstrated an opportunity to improveaccess for patients and is already being examined for replica-tion in another location.
The project took place in Weyburn General Hospital'semergency department. The goal was to educate the publicabout the wide range of services provided in Sun CountryHealth Region that may prevent visits to the EmergencyRoom that could have been provided at more appropriatelocations.
Our intention is not to stop people from going to theemergency department. We DO want to inform and directthem if another provider can provide that care. The emer-gency department is designed to manage urgent situationssuch as trauma-type emergencies.
A key factor is that none of our hospitals have doctors on

site 24 hours each day. They are all on-call. We do not havethe population and numbers of emergencies to hire a staffemergency doctor for each site.
That means, in every case, a nurse will call a doctor fromhome or from his/her medical clinic to come to the emer-gency department when a patient arrives who needs atten-tion. If that patient could have gone to another care pro-vider - for the same care - most patients would prefer todo that.
There are lots of examples of care that could be providedby alternate providers. The renewing of prescriptions is one.Instead of going to the emergency department and waitingfor a doctor, you might call one of the doctors or nursepractitioners accepting new patients (a list is on our websiteat http://www.suncountry.sk.ca/directory/ doctors andnurse practitioners accepting new patients).
The patient is more satisfied to make an appointment,the service is provided without a wait and the doctors re-sponding to the emergency department know the calls areemergencies.
Information about alternative points of care is availablein the Directory of Services available in every facility in theRegion, and on the Sun Country Health Region websitehttp://www.suncountry.sk.ca/.
Help is also available in deciding where to go when youhave a health issue by calling Healthline at 811 or visitingHealthlineonline. The patient navigator who answers theHealthline telephone will assess your symptoms and giveyou advice.
This kind of change in the way health care is delivered maysave health care dollars. It will also improve the quality of lifefor doctors covering the emergency department on-call andcertainly will increase the satisfaction level of the patients.That's our primary goal.

tions of the Motorcycle Re-view Committee.
"Motorcyclists are at ahigher risk of injuries thanthose travelling in a passen-ger vehicle," said AndrewCartmell, President andCEO of SGI. "To reducethat risk, all road-users needto work together and pay
special attention during theriding season."
In 2013, there were 244crashes in Saskatchewan in-volving a motorcycle, mopedor power cycle, resulting in203 injuries and six deaths.All six deaths and 177 ofthose injuries were motorcy-clists.
Road safety is everyone'sresponsibility. Adopt thesedriving habits to help riderskeep the rubber on the pave-ment:
• Drivers - look twice andsave a life. Motorcycles aresmall and difficult to see.Before turning left in frontof traffic, look further aheadto ensure a bike isn't travel-ing behind an oncoming ve-hicle. Before changing lanes,check your mirrors and turn
your head to ensure a bikeisn't in your blind spot. In-crease your following dis-tance - rear-ending a motor-cyclist has far more severeconsequences in most casesthan rear-ending a passengervehicle.
• Motorcyclists - you'renot invincible, be visible.Bright or reflective gear willhelp others see you sooner.Use the proper lane posi-tions to ensure maximumexposure. Make sure you'rewearing all the gear, all thetime. It's the law that new rid-ers must have their arms andlegs covered, wear hand-cov-ering gloves, ankle-coveringboots and an approved 3/4, modular or full-face hel-met. Also, increase your skillsby completing a certified
training course. Whetheryou're a rookie or a veteran,this course will teach youskills to improve your tech-nique or abolish bad habits.
To increase safety mea-sures and reduce collisions,some new laws regarding mo-torcycles were implementedlast year. All new riders mustcomplete the Basic AbilityRoad Test (BART) or a cer-tified training course in or-der to get a 6 endorsement.Riders who complete theirBART on or after April 1,2015 on a bike with an en-gine with 400cc or less willreceive an 'R' restriction ontheir licence, limiting them tooperating bikes 400cc or less.
Riders will keep the restric-tion throughout the Motor-cycle Graduated Driver's Li-
cence (MGDL) program. Itcan be removed by:
• Providing proof to SGIof completed approvedtraining; OR,
• Completing the BART(6 Endorsement) or Motor-cycle Road Test (M Endorse-ment), depending on wherethey are in the MGDL pro-gram, on a motorcycle of401cc or greater; OR,
• Graduating out of theMGDL program (obtainingan experienced M endorse-ment).
