Government invests more than $1 million to those in need in the S.E.Individuals in southeast

Saskatchewan will continueto have access to free, confi-dential support servicesthanks to the Governmentof Saskatchewan's renewedfunding commitment of$1.01 million to EnvisionCounselling and SupportCentre.

The renewed funding con-tract was announced byEstevan MLA Doreen Eagleson behalf of Social ServicesMinister Donna Harpauerand Justice Minister GordonWyant.

Some of the funding Gov-ernment provides throughthe Ministry of Social Ser-vices is for Envision to pro-vide a "Diversion" program.The objective of this pro-gram is to provide in-homesupport and education toparents whose children are

at risk of coming into care,an example of governmentworking closely with commu-nity partners to keep chil-dren safe.

It’s a matter of choiceBy Linda Wegner

Looking back, so much hashappened. There were hu-morous incidents. Impatient

By Helen WallerI came home the other day to quite the show. Ironically

enough, it wasn't on tv... but it was over one. Two teenagerswith one tv and I had zero patience left. You do the math. Idon't care where you went to school, this wasn't adding up.

These two were arguing and simply could not see the other'spoint of view. The one thing they did have in common thoughwas the name-calling.

Don't get me wrong, I have two brothers and two sistersand we had our fair share of name-calling over the years andbeing that my mother is a teacher, this irritated her more FORECAST

If you don’t have anythingnice to say...

There is much talk in Christian circles about spiritual unity. Some seem to think thatunity is the most important thing for God's people, and some are willing to do whatever ittakes to establish it, to the extent of abandoning the very core of Christianity if that's whatit takes.

As a Christian pastor, I am all for Christian unity, and I think it is incredibly important.Jesus prayed in John 17:20, "I do not ask for these [my disciples] only, but also for those whowill believe in me through their word, that they may all be one . . ." Clearly, Jesus desiredunity, and therefore so should all Christians, and therefore, so do I.

The problem is not with unity itself, but with how the word is defined. In the context ofJohn 17, the parameters of Christian unity are clearly established. From the verse citedabove, we see that Christian unity is limited to those who believe in Jesus through the wordof the apostles. It is a true spiritual unity, received not through formal succession or institu-tional alliances, but through faith in the specific teachings of the apostle; that is, the gospel.

Earlier, Jesus prays regarding his disciples, "I do not ask that you take them out of theworld, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am notof the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth" (Jn 17:15-17, ESV). NoticeChrist's parameters for unity: First, God's unity is different than the world's unity. Theworld has its own definition of unity, which requires laying down everything that divides inorder to cooperate for the common good. But Jesus says that neither he nor his disciples areof the world. Christians are intrinsically different, and their very purpose for remaining inthe world is to introduce a unity based not upon compromise but on truth. Second, we seethat the unity Christ desires is God-initiated. Jesus prays in verse 17, "Sanctify them (i.e. setthem apart) by in the truth; your word is truth." God intentionally separates His peoplefrom the world in order to make them one for His own purpose. Third, we see that it is notan all-inclusive unity but is predicated on separation between those who are in the truth (i.e.who believe the Bible and the words of the apostles) and those who are outside of the truth.

I am happy to promote Christian unity, so long as it is rooted firmly in the foundation ofScripture and the truth of the gospel. In these things, all true Christians are one.

Pastor Harley Porter, Gospel of Grace Fellowship

Christian unity

words I'd like to retract butother words I'm glad I sharedwith someone who was hurt-ing. There were the several suc-cessful work-related out-comes that cheered the heartwhile the sad news of a sud-den and totally unexpecteddeath in the community leftmany in shock and sadness.Tea with friends plus aChamber of Commerce lun-cheon with colleagues eachprovided pleasant companyand encouraging conversa-tions. Winding up the week,I prepared for the next day'strade show with Saturdayspent promoting the servicesand products offered by ourhome-based businesses.Above all these was a won-derful visit with family. Butback to the question: whatshould I include in this ar-ticle? From among so much,what's the answer? Simplyput, it all boils down to amatter of choice.

I've been thinking a lot

about options lately. Choos-ing what to write about eachweek is high on my list of im-portance but over these pastseveral months I've foundmyself having to make eventougher decisions regardingthe way I spend my time andmy energy. How long do Iwant to continue working fulltime? Given my health relatedchallenges how long am I ableto contribute volunteerhours and to whichorganization(s)? If I couldonly keep three things in mylife, what would those thingsbe and in what order of pri-ority?

"And if it seems evil to youto serve the Lord, choose foryourselves this day whom youwill serve…." (Joshua 24:15)

We never go wrong bychoosing to walk in obedi-ence to God's principles.

than most. Not only did we get in trouble for calling each other names but apparently ourpoor use of the English Language was a real insult to her parenting skills.

I thought about using my Mom's approach to name-calling but I'm not sure it was reallyfitting any more. She used to correct the grammar of whoever was doing the name-calling, somuch so that it actually got too frustrating to bother with your little sister anymore. Nowa-days, teenagers speak in code. They say things like OMG, K, YOLO, TTYL and LOL. Theonly way to know if your child is calling their sibling a name is by the tone. So, they have gonepast the point of no return when it comes to proper use of the English Language. They havecreated a language all of their own. So, I decided it was time to teach them how to speakmine. I told them, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

Well, my house got quiet. Real quiet.I made each of them write a list of nice things about the other. This is a few of the things

they came up with.My son said:1. She's athletic because she does gym, sometimes2. She's stylish, sometimes3. She's funny, sometimes (have you seen her golf)He wasn't exactly getting the idea of saying something nice. I know this much about the

English language. When you give someone a compliment, you do not usually include "some-times" after it and don't think that his sister wasn't catching on.

So next was her turn and she said:1. He's nice because he always shares his TV with me.Well played.

They havesigned a deal with a plasticsrecycling company calledTerracyle, which will see BlueEarth Environmental acceptparticular types of coffeedisks for recycling, namelyNescafe and Tassimo.

In 2014, 9.8 billion K-Cups/disks were sold world-wide and if lined up end-to-end, those discarded discswould contain enough plas-tic to circle the globe morethan 10 times. RecyclingNescafe and Tassimo coffeedisks, which are only two ofseveral brands, will be a stepin the right direction.

"Whenever they ask us tocollect those items, we sendthem in and then that moneycan be donated to a non-profit organization in ourcommunity,"said RoseMcInnes, who is the owner/operator of Blue Earth En-vironmental in Weyburn.The money that is donatedcomes from credits thatTerracycle donates for eachcoffee disk received. Themoney in turn is then do-nated to the chosen organi-zations which include TheFamily Place, WeyburnWork-Kin Shop, theWeyburn Humane Societyand Weyburn MentalHealth.

Currently the disks can berecycled by either signing upfor the Blue Bin recyclingservice or by delivering themdirectly to Blue Earth Envi-ronmental. Blue Earth is lo-cated at 35 Third Street andis open between 10:00 a.m.and 4:30 p.m. To learnmore about all the items thatBlue Earth Environmentalrecycles through its partner-ship with Terracycle, pleasevisit their website at http://www.blueearthenviro.ca/ orcall (306) 891-8370.

The mechanical compo-nents of your vehicle needfluids and lubricants in or-der to work well. Therigours of winter drivingare hard on these liquids,so replacing them is defi-nitely not a luxury whenspring rolls around.

The first thing to thinkabout is changing the en-gine oil. When you hadyour oil changed last fall, it'spossible that your garagemechanic used oil designedfor cold temperatures. Thistype of oil is not suitablefor hot weather and shouldbe replaced by a lubricantwhose properties protectyour engine when tempera-tures soar to record heights.

An oil change is also agood opportunity to checkother fluids, such as thosein the brake system andtransmission. These fluidsusually last longer, but youdon't want levels to get toolow. Checking the coolantis also a good idea, as it pre-vents your engine fromoverheating in hotweather; that's somethingyou really don't want tohappen.

If you're taking your carin to the garage for all thesechecks, ask your mechanicif your vehicle needs a lubejob. The proper function-ing of many of yourvehicle's parts de-pends onthis. Often enough peopleneglect to check and theconsequences can some-times be dramatic for yourwallet as well as for the lon-gevity of your car.

Lastly, although notquite so important, don'tforget to fill your wind-shield washer reservoir,which you probably emp-tied during that last springstorm. By the way, neverreplace this fluid with wa-ter in order to save a fewdollars; you could have areal problem if you forgetabout it when tempera-tures start dropping again.And plain water just won'tbe able to deal with all thosebugs on your windshieldthis summer.

Is it timeto topup yourcar'sfluids?

Spring

For fluid driving,your vehicleneeds fluids!

Now that summer is onits way, car owners willstart hauling out thebucket and sponge andhose for a bit of car wash-ing on a Sunday after-noon. Sweet paradise!How-ever, did you knowthat the majority ofpeople do more harmthan good to their car'spaint job simply becausethey aren't aware of a fewbasic rules?

First of all, never, everuse home cleaning prod-ucts, such as dish soap orlaundry detergent, onyour car. These deter-gents are not de-sig-nedfor sheet metal or highgloss paint and shouldnever be used for thispurpose. There are loadsof soaps on the marketspeci--fically designed forwashing cars.

The next thing to re-member is to always usea microfiber cloth whenwashing your car. Afterall, you don't want tospread the dirt aroundand rub it into the surfaceof your paint with a washmitt or brush, do you?You should also avoid us-

How to wash your car without scratching the painting circular motions whenwashing your car. That

way you won't make spiderweb-shaped groo-ves on the

paint's surface.After you've got your ve-

hicle looking like new,think about ap-plying apaint sealant. This step isbest left to a professionalwho will be able to recom-mend the appropriateproduct for your vehicle

and your requirements. Agood sealant can protectyour car against damagefrom rock fragments andother debris for two fullyears, making it a great in-vestment.

OBITUARYBREMS, Lillian Mary Annie (nee Levesque). September13, 1925 - April 11, 2015. Lillian Brems, late of Carlyle, SK.passed away on Saturday, April 11, 2015 at the age of 89years, in the Regina General Hospital as a result of a heartcondition. Lil did not let this stand in her way and she en-joyed her garden and flowers. She also babysat and raisedmany children. Lil was predeceased by her parents Ludgerand Alice Levesque; husband Fedde; son Robert; brotherLeo (Katie) Levesque; sister Irene (Bill) Anderson. Lillian issurvived by her sons Michael and Kelly; daughter Susan;grandsons Christopher (Beth), Harley, Matthew (Sonja) andMichael; granddaughter Mykayla; great-grandsons Abel andKayden; great- granddaughter Sasha; brother Albert(Rosaline) Levesque. At Lil's request, no service will be held.

Today I attended a breakfast for cancer survivors andguests at the Weyburn Comprehensive School. The WeyburnComp students hosted the event and I am thankful that theytook the time to honour those of us who have fought andare still fighting the battle and for those who are our friendsand relatives.

Cancer is the dreaded disease that we all fear and thatsends our heart into our throat when we hear the news. Forme, cancer came twice - as thyroid cancer and as colorectalcancer. I've had multiple surgeries along with radiation andchemo.

What would my life be like without our beloved HealthCare system? I would owe hundreds of thousands of dollarsand probably never be out of debt. Tommy Douglas had adream and because of that dream, I've never known life with-out health care. Neither have my children.

The Harper government has failed to renew the HealthAccord with the provinces and money in the form of trans-fer payments from the federal government is decreasing,putting pressure on provincial governments to looks at al-ternative ways to provide health services. I can't imagine whatthis will look like and I see that health care for me as I ageand for my children and grandchildren will not be fundedas it is today if we continue on this path.

For the sake of our friends and family, for the sake of thosewho have suffered from cancer and have been taken from ustoo soon, think about health care when you vote and what itwill look like if we don't stop the downward slide.

A recent proclamation was signed by Mayor Debra But-ton, proclaiming April 28, a Day of Mourning for theCity of Weyburn. April 28 was proclaimed "Day of Mourn-ing" by an Act of parliament on February 1, 1991. It is inrecognition of the more than 1000 Canadian workers whoare killed on the job, thousands more who are perma-nently disabled and hundreds of thousands who are in-jured and thousands of others who die from cancer, lungdisease, and other ailments caused by exposure to toxicsubstances at their workplaces.

The Canadian Labour Congress chose April 28 as a dayof mourning as an opportunity to remember the maximumsacrifice workers have been forced to make in order to make

April 28 named National Day of Mourninga living, a day to renew approaches to governments fortougher occupational health and safety standards and moreeffective compensation and as a day to rededicate ourselvesto the goal of making Canada's workplaces safer.

The Weyburn Labour District Council will host a Me-morial Ceremony at the TC Douglas Calvary Centre onApril 28 at 6:30 p.m.

"We read the names, we light the candles on their behalfand just generally remember them, remember all workerswho were injured on the job and rededicate ourselves totrying to make our workplaces safer" said council presi-dent, Wanda Bartlett.

Everyone is welcome to attend.

Youth group ‘rises up’ to assist

Members of the Youth group "Youth Rising Up" were at the Spring Trade and Craft fair held at the KnoxPresbyterian Church on April 18. The children were selling items to raise money for the child they adoptedseven years ago, from the World Vision Organization.

16 Weyburn This Week, Friday, April 24, 2015

The strongest athletes from across the country were in St.John's, NL from April 7-11 competing at the CanadianPowerlifting Union National Championships. This year's Na-tional Championship was the biggest ever, with over 350 ofCanada's strongest men and women of all ages competingfor the title of National Champion.

Weyburn was represented by four athletes. Mikayla Lohsecompeted in the 52 kg sub-junior category in both the Clas-sic and Equipped competitions. In the Classic competition,Mikayla squatted a new National record of 100.5kg (222lbs). Mikayla also had a bench press of 50 kg (110 lbs) and adeadlift of 127.5kg (281 lbs). Mikayla totalled 278 kg on herway to a gold medal.

In the equipped division, which allows lifters to wear kneewraps and supportive suits, Mikayla once again displayedher dominance, finishing with a 117.5 kg (259 lbs) squatand a new National Record bench press of 58 kg (128lbs).The most impressive result of the week for Mikayla came inthe deadlift, where she hit a huge National record of 156 kg(344 lbs), eclipsing not only the sub-junior record but alsothe Junior (under 23) and the Open (any age) Nationalrecord at just 17 years of age. Mikayla totalled 331.5kg,coming home with her second gold medal of the week.

“Mikayla's deadlift is an extremely impressive feat ofstrength,” said coach Ryan Fowler. “There are very few 17year-olds who are deadlifting more than triple their ownbody weight. Mikayla is now within 4.5 kgs of breaking theWorld Record deadlift, currently owned by AnnaFilimonova of Russia.”

Brittinay Rowland also competed in the equipped divi-sion in the 84+ kg Junior category. This was Brittinay's firstyear in the Junior category and she had a very good showingmoving up an age category. Brittinay had a 180 kg (397 lbs)squat, a 102.5 kg (226 lbs) bench press and a 180 kg (397lbs) deadlift. Brittinay finished with a total of 462.5 kg,enough to bring home the Gold medal and the crown ofNational Champion for the fourth year in a row.

“Brittinay once again lifted very well, moving up into theJunior age category has given her some new goals to worktowards,” said coach Fowler. “She struggled with her squatat this competition, but everything else was a personal best,and at Nationals after having travelled most of the way acrossthe country to compete, that is extremely impressive.”

Lohse breaks National records - sets sight on World record

Heidi Fowler competed in the classic Bench Press champi-onship where she finished with a 75 kg (165 lbs) bench press.Her bench was enough to win her a silver medal. “This iseven more impressive as she hasn't lifted at Nationals since2012 due to having our two kids,” said coach and husband,Fowler. “I am proud of the work she has put in allowing herto get back to the National stage and compete at the Na-tional Championship only seven months following the birthof our second son!”

Coach Fowler also competed in his 14th straight NationalChampionship. Fowler finished with a squat of 335 kg (739lbs), a personal best bench press of 252.5 kg (557 lbs) and apersonal best deadlift of 302.5 kg (667 lbs). Fowler finishedwith a 890 kg total and a silver medal.

“Considering I lifted against my brother-in-law, who hitthe biggest squat and biggest total in Canadian Powerliftinghistory and was still able to come home with second place, Iam pretty happy with that result.” Fowler's brother-in-law,Ryan Stinn of Moose Jaw squatted a new Canadian recordof 390 kg (860 lbs) and became only the second powerliftingin Canada to total over 1000 kg, hitting 1003kg.

All four Weyburn athletes will be competing at the 2015North American Powerlifting Championships, being heldJuly 8-11 in Moose Jaw at the Heritage Inn. Weyburn willalso play host to the 2015 Provincial Powerlifting Champi-onship, being held September 12.
