A fresh perspectiveViktor 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 histime and involvement in this art form has grown quickly. Over the years, Viktor has entered trades fairs, contests and beganframing and selling much sought after prints.

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

Birkus uses Photoshopfinishing in a majority of hisphotos as he feels that thephoto is "just not quite doneotherwise. Photoshop takesit to the next level." Viktor’swork in Photoshop gives hisphotographs a very origi-nal, colorful and distinctivefinish.

Viktor has developed aneye for seeing things in a dif-ferent light and a keen sensein the use of post-editing tech-niques. One such light, ismorning light. Birkus statesthat a lot of photographersuse the sunset hours andthat is one particular reasonhe decided to take a differ-ent approach and photo-

graph sunrises.Viktor’s 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. Viktorand Maryna plan to make stops in some of Canada's most beautiful and scenic areas such as the Canadian Rockiesalong the way.

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

So many stories to tellBy Linda Wegner

This has been a week of storytelling. I've heard tales of ad-venture as well as a unique ac-count of investment, firstsparked by discarded bottlesand pop cans. Then there wasthe opportunity to experiencethe excitement of back yardgardening.

I began my working week byconducting an interview witha gracious octogenarian who,more than fifty years ago, choseto launch her career as ateacher in Ethiopia. It was, asshe described it, a time whenfemales weren't deemed worthyof education. Or of much else,for that matter. Her eyes con-veyed her lingering passion forthat mission. Since returningto North America and settlingdown in our city, she discov-ered yet another opportunityto support and encourage chil-dren around the world. That'swhere the cans and bottlescome in.

Back then environmentalissues definitely were less thanheadliners and people carelesslytossed cans and bottles mostanywhere. Displeased with themess that had been created shebegan picking them up, sort-ing them in her backyard ga-rage and then redeeming themfor cash. She'd write down thedates and the amounts, thensend the money to organiza-tions such as Samaritan's Purse.After the first $70,000 shestopped counting. The storydoesn't end there because shecontinues to invest in orphan-ages around the world.

Then there was the story ofa young family that has cho-sen to convert a non-descriptbackyard and driveway into ashowcase of home grown fruitand vegetables. Their invest-

By Andrea CorriganLast month I wrote a column on snowploughing chil-

dren (go to www.weyburnthisweek.com and check out theMarch 13th issue if you missed it).

This column raised many comments from my readersand my girlfriend found a write-up that she sent me focus-ing on ways to help make raising kids less stressful.

It is called ‘Challenge: Raising kids is stressful. Let'sshare ways to make it less so. What Would My Mom Do?(Drink Tab and Lock Us Outside).' It's written by JenHatmaker. Although the author was born about 10 (or so)years later than I was, some of the points apply to my 'era'.Enjoy!

I'm about to tell you the truth: parenting has becomevery precious in our generation.

This very morning, a mom posted how on her son's

birthday, she assembles a comprehensive "time capsule" including items, photos, and productsrelated to that particular year, stores it in a set of antique trunks, and plans to present them all tohim on his 18th birthday as a tribute to his entire life.

Holy. Crap. Cannot. Deal.When I think about upping the joy in parenting and diminishing the stress, I propose that

much of our anxiety stems from this notion that our kids' childhood must be Utterly Magical; abeautifully documented fairytale in which they reside as center of the universe, their success ismanufactured (or guaranteed), and we over-attend to every detail of their lives until we send themoff to college after writing their entrance essays.

It becomes this fake pressure, which results in its trusty sidekick: guilt. And nothing steals joyaway from parenting more than believing you are doing a terrible job at it. And nothing confirmsyou are doing a terrible job at it then thinking you should run out and backfill eight antiquetrunks as a memorial to your third-grader's life.

So here is my trick for keeping the joy and losing the stress:What would my mom do?I was born in 1974, good readers. It no more occurred to my mom to coddle us Precious

Snowflakes than it did to quit drinking a case of Tab a day. If you told my mom to craft a yearlytime capsule for each child to store until graduation, she would have cried tears of laughter all theway to Jazzercise. My girlfriend asked me just yesterday:

"Do you remember your mom ever volunteering in your classroom?""NO mom was ever in our classroom. We rode the bus to school on the first day, had one

Christmas party that consisted of store-bought cookies and cherry kool-aid, then school endedand we played outside until Labor Day. That was the school year."

My mom says that she and her friends just raised us, while my friends and me "parent" (theseare sarcastic finger quotes). And honestly? She's right. They didn't worry endlessly, interfereconstantly, safeguard needlessly, or overprotect religiously. They just raised us. And we turnedout fine.

Confession: as we head toward summer, I get this itchy, panicked feeling, because we arestaring down twelve unstructured weeks, and all I can picture are my five kids sleeping too late,losing brain cells on their various screens which I will feel conflicted and guilty about, anddriving me crazy. How will I balance work? How will I keep them entertained? How will I occupyfourteen hours a day? How will I maintain their reading levels? I already feel like a Bad SummerMom and it is March, for the love. Which tells me I need to default to my trick:

What would my mom do?Well, first of all, we didn't have 24/7 access to cartoons, video games, and YouTube, so she did

what all moms did: told us to play. The end. It never crossed my mom's mind to "entertain us" or"fund expensive summer endeavors" or "create stimulating activities for our brain development."She said get the hell outside, and we did. We made up games and rode our bikes and choreo-graphed dance routines and drank out of the hose when we got thirsty. I swear, my mom did notknow where we actually were half the time. Turned out in the neighborhood all day, someone'smom would eventually make us bologna sandwiches on white bread and then lock us out, too.We were like a roving pack of wolves, and all the moms took turn feeding and watering us. No onehovered over us like Nervous Nellies.

And never one time, not once did I feel unloved or neglected.My parents majored on the majors and minored on the minors.Could it be that we are simply too precious about parenting? Have we forgotten the benefit of

letting our kids fail? Figure it out? Work hard for it? Entertain themselves? We put so much unduepressure on ourselves to curate Magical Childhoods, when in fact, kids are quite capable of beinghappy kids without constant adult administration. I would argue that making them the center ofthe universe is actually terribly detrimental. A good parent prepares the child for the path, notthe path for the child. We can still demonstrate gentle and attached parenting without raisingchildren who melt on a warm day.

Guess what the side effect is for us parents? RELIEF. Get your joy back! Try it. Pull back asCruise Director and adopt the "what would my mom do" approach, and see what happens. Whatdo you know? The kids are all right! They aren't poor, neglected Oliver Twists. They won't comecompletely unraveled. They aren't helpless, hapless ninnies who can't figure a bloomin' thing out.Their futures aren't doomed. We don't want to produce young adults that despair at the firstobstacle they face. Don't we want them to learn that they are one part of a healthy family, notthe centrifugal force of their entire environment?

And mamas and daddies? We get to jettison that manufactured guilt that tells us we aren'tdoing enough, when in fact, no generation of parents has ever done more. (My friends in highereducation are actually begging us to DO LESS PLEASE BECAUSE THESE CHILDREN DON'TKNOW HOW TO FILL OUT AN ONLINE FORM WITHOUT HELP.)

Let's get our joy back and resist all this made-up stress! Let's recapture the joy of watching kidsplay in sprinklers, build forts out of couch cushions, create dramatic "programs" (my parents havePTSD from ours), and run around the neighborhood with their friends. Let's give them back thegift of imagination, self-sufficiency, creativity.

What did our moms do?They let us be kids, and we wobbled and skinned our knees and made up our own fun and

MAYBETHAT’SJUSTME

Visit our website atwww.weyburnthisweek.com

There have been different shows, whether on television or the big screen, which lift up theproblem of lying. Usually the plot is that a lie is needed to cover a problem. Then another lie isneeded to cover for the first lie. And on it goes. Even some mysteries use this plot to build theirstories. But the alert officer of the law always sees through it, questioning the lies, and justice isdone. I wonder if the problem with Easter might be how many lies there have been over the decades?

The beginning event is the resurrection of Jesus almost two thousand years ago. It was this goodnews that brought the hope of eternal life through the forgiveness of sin. The faithful know thatthey will rise to be with Jesus in heaven. When Jesus greeted His disciples, after His resurrection,he said, " Peace be with you." Thus, the hope that the message gives brings peace.

The soldiers guarding the tomb certainly did not have peace. Somehow, Jesus rose and theywere left with an empty grave. The angel rolled the stone away to prove it. What could they sayto their officers and Pilate? The Chief Priests wanted them to say that they fell asleep and thedisciples stole the body, but this was not only a lie, but a death warrant for them, although thepriests tried to promise to protect them. Besides, if they were sleeping, how could they know thedisciples stole Jesus? And, usually, another lie is needed to cover the first lie, and then more...Soundsfamiliar, doesn't it.

The Chief Priests did not have peace because they needed to work with their enemy, theRomans, to prove the lie. This could be bad enough, but later, when Peter and John healed a lameman, the priests worked harder to block the true message, trying to forbid them to speak in thename of Jesus. That anxiety does not seem like peace.

I do not know from where the easter bunny came, but this does not bring peace either. Theselfish desire is to find as many hidden prizes as possible. The fact that most are chocolate or candyadds to the question about the practice. But even the colored eggs do not suggest life, for they arehard boiled and lifeless. Children would have less cavities if it were not for all the sugar-causingcandy of this season. Even the false idea about Hallowe'en seems to have more healthy treats. It isintriguing that we tell our children to tell the truth, only to lie to them about the easter bunny. Iwonder what emotional trauma this might raise later in life to learn that parents, and most ofsociety, lied to them? The Church must keep the message true. The resurrection is the reason for theseason, and nothing else. We need to lift up the hope of eternal life that we have by the grace of Godin Jesus. This grace is the only element that brings hope and peace to a desperate and anxious world.As we keep Christ in Christmas, let us abandon the false tales and lift up resurrection, and the joyit brings, as the center of the celebration, not some rabbit that clucks.

Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Tell the Good News!The Rev. Martin Olson, Zion Lutheran Church, Weyburn

ment into the health of theirfive children and of their com-munity is also an story to beproclaimed.

Whether it is in our per-sonal lives, our community in-volvement or our business

and professional life, what weare speaks far louder thanwhat we say.

There're so many stories tobe told, and lived. What's dem-onstrated through mine?Yours?

enjoyed the simple pleasures of childhood without any flashand dazzle. But you know what? We knew we were loved and weknew we were safe. We never doubted the most important partsof the story. We weren't fragile hothouse plants but dirty, rowdy,resilient kids who ate Twinkies and candy cigarettes and lived totell.

Mama, don't fall for the yearly time capsules. You have every-thing your little ones need: kisses, Shel Silverstein books, sillysongs, kitchen dance parties, a backyard, family dinner aroundthe table, and a cozy lap. They'll fill in the rest of the gaps andbe better for it. Your kids don't need to be entertained and theydon't need to be bubble-wrapped; they just need to be loved.

It's all any kid has ever really needed.Facebook Saying of the Week: Life is short, live it. Love is

Sarah is 38, a down-to-earth, simple living, country girl & a natural beauty. She has never been married & has no children of her own. She grew up on her parents farm, then moved away & started her own bakery when she was 23. At 29 her mother passed away suddenly, leaving her father by himself & Sarah with a very difficult decision. As much as she loved her bakery, family comes first, so she sold

her business & moved back to help her father operate the farm. She is very happy there and it’s expanded with extra employees. Sarah is very hard working & success driven, but she has not had much time to herself to find a serious relationship. Now that her father is retired & she has help on the farm, she has a lot more time to enjoy herself & is hoping to find that special someone to spend her life with. She is looking for a man who likes the country life, is energetic, active & outdoorsy.

Letter to the Editor:Thoughts on the blood donor clinic

April 21 is another blood donor clinic in Weyburn. Howmany will show up? The last clinic in Weyburn was February24, 2015, approximately 2 months ago. I believe the quotafor Weyburn was 142 units. I'm not sure if that goal wasachieved as the weather was not the greatest. Here is my beef!12,000 people in Weyburn and my guess is another 6,000in the surrounding area, which includes south to the U.S.border, west towards Pangman, north to Francis and eastto Midale. This area includes numerous small communitiesand 12 or 14 RMs. 18,000 people. If we eliminate half ofthese for being too old or medically not able to donate, thatleaves 9,000. Cut this in half for those too young to donate.This leaves 4,500 potential donors. And how many showup? Approximately 142.

In my opinion, that is very sad. Maybe even disgraceful. Icalled the 1-800 number on the back of my donor card toget some info as to unit targets, units donated, etc. The num-ber is in Ontario so no help was available. I tried the ReginaBlood Services number in the Regina phone book threetimes and my call got forwarded to Ontario. Maybe nobodycares.

For an hour or hour and a half, you can be a donor. Ialways feel better after donating. The bonus is the drink andthe cookies upon the completion of the donation. One pieceof information I did get from my Ontario call was that only4% of potential donors Canada-wide actually donate.Would it knock somebody's socks off if out of our potential4,500 donors, 100 more people stepped up and donated soinstead of 142 units, the total would be 242 units. Remem-ber folks, April 21, 2015. Maybe mark your calendars. Let'ssee what Weyburn and area can do.
