19th Annual Weyburn WheatFestival, a huge success!

The 19th annual Wheat Festival, held on August 6 to 9, was a huge success. Festivities heldin various locations across the city offered many activities for people of all ages to enjoy.

The Heritage Village was a favorite location of many, offering a glimpse into Weyburn'spast. The demonstrations held throughout the weekend included rope making, sheep herd-ing, blacksmithing and butter and ice cream making. Local artists and dancers entertained,while rides were given on a vintage fire truck throughout the streets of Weyburn.

Several other activities took place across the city including a horticulture show at KnoxHall, a movie at Jubilee Park, swimming at the Weyburn Leisure Centre, a bread bakingcompetition at the Soo Line Museum, along with several agriculture seminars held at theWeyburn Library. Three performances of the play "Big Bad" were held at the T.C. Douglasbuilding.

Food was offered at several locations, including homemade pie at the Soo Line Museumand delicious strawberry shortcake at Knox Hall.

Although this year's Wheat Festival has wrapped up, Weyburn residents can look for-ward to seeing the results of a photography project that was started over the weekend. JonGillies of Images by Gillies took photos of Weyburn residents' faces at the Weyburn PublicLibrary. The photos will be used as part of a mosaic he will create in the shape the Canadianflag. The project is being created in honor of the Canadian flag's 50th anniversary, which isbeing celebrated this year.

This was thelowest rate among the prov-inces and well below the 6.8per cent recorded nationally.July marks the 22nd consecu-tive month the province hashad the lowest unemploy-ment rate in the country.

"Today's numbers showSaskatchewan has main-tained the lowest unemploy-ment rate in the country for

almost two straight years,"Immigration, Jobs, Skillsand Training Minister Jer-emy Harrison said. "Weknow there are gains andlosses taking place in the jobmarket, which is somethingwe watch closely. However,consistently having the low-est unemployment rate inCanada means a sustainableand reliable job market thatspeaks volumes to businessand industry when they arelooking for jurisdictions toinvest in."

There were 575,300people employed in July2015.

Think grapes for easy entertainingPlanning a barbecue, back-

yard evening dinner or casualget-together with friends tocelebrate the summer sea-son? Think California grapesfor easy entertaining. They'rea versatile and delicious wayto add colour and taste toeverything from the table it-self to the foods you serve.Try these great grape ideasand let the party begin:

• Add Signature andFlair. Grapes add an unex-pected pizzazz to dishes, notto mention a sweet taste andhealthy boost, from appetiz-ers to desserts. Updatecaprese salad skewers bythreading small balls of moz-zarella, basil leaves andgrapes, instead of tomatoes.Add sliced grapes into grain-based salads, sauté grapeswith prawns or poultry,skewer grapes on beef orchicken shish kebabs, andblend them into salsas andsauces to complement en-trees.

• Elegant and Edible.Grapes add colour, beautyand interest to centerpieces.Tuck green grapes into a table

garland of greenery, big whitef lowers and white votivecandles. Use grapes insteadof stones in the bottom offlower vases. And there'snothing prettier or simplerthan a lovely bowl or platterpiled with colourful grapes.Grapes also make a greatgarnish. They're a naturalcomplement to a cheese tray,adding a sweetness to bal-ance the saltiness of cheese.Frosted grapes make a prettytopping for desserts or dis-played on dessert platters:brush small clusters ofgrapes with pasteurized liq-uid egg whites, place on arack set over wax paper andsprinkle grapes with super-fine granulated sugar, turn-ing clusters to lightly coat.Gently shake off excesssugar, and let grapes dry,uncovered, at room tem-perature for about 2 hours.

• Think drinks. Garnishcocktails with grapes: floatthinly sliced grape rings in aglass of bubbly. Skewer astack of grapes on a stirrerfor fruity drinks. Or use fro-zen grapes instead of icecubes for a splash of colourand taste. Grapes make adelicious ingredient indrinks, too.

The bigger the truck, the bigger the crashSGI and police focusing on commercial vehicle safety throughout August

Commercial drivers are held to a high standard as onerisky maneuver could end in tragedy. This month, trafficenforcement will be focusing on commercial drivers, ensur-ing they're following the rules of the road to keep all roadusers safe.

SGI, law enforcement, the Ministry of Highways andthe Saskatchewan Trucking Association (STA) strive tocreate awareness that all motorists need to share theroad safely.

"Even though operators of large commercial vehiclesaren't at fault for the majority of the collisions they're in-volved in, their sheer size and weight can cause massive de-struction," said Earl Cameron, Vice President of the AutoFund. "It's important that commercial drivers are alert andensure their vehicles meet all safety requirements."

Commercial drivers should remember these tips to ensurethey get to their destination safely:

• Complete proper pre- and post-trip inspections to en-sure your vehicle is in good operating condition.

• Ensure your vehicle is within the allowed height andweight limits to prevent damaging roads, bridges and otherinfrastructure.

• Signal well in advance when planning to turn or changelanes, especially turning right as you may have to swing wideinto a second lane.

• Hang up, buckle up and be alert to the actions of on-coming drivers and other drivers at intersections.

• Pull over when feeling tired - it could truly be a matterof life or death.

• If you've been driving for many years, review the ProfessionalDriver's Handbook to keep up with new laws and to refresh yourmemory on the responsibilities of a professional driver.

"It's not only important for commercial drivers to takeprecautions," said Al Rosseker, Executive Director, STA."Road safety is everyone's responsibility - other drivers alsoneed to know the safety implications associated with largervehicles, and how to share the road safely with them."

Large commercial vehicles require more room and timeto complete maneuvers. Common collisions involving com-mercial vehicles include rear-end crashes, right-turn crashesinvolving vehicles on the same road, left-turn crashes involv-ing an opposing vehicle on the same road, and sideswipecrashes. Keep these tips in mind when sharing the road withlarge trucks:

• They take longer to start and stop - increase your fol-

lowing distance and never cut too close in front of them.• They take wider turns, especially when turning right.

Watch for signal lights as they usually have to steer into asecond lane to turn right.

• They have bigger blind spots than cars which makes itdifficult to see smaller vehicles. If possible, avoid spendingtoo much time in the 'no zone' - the areas directly in front of,behind and beside them.

• Be patient. They want to get to their destination just as

much as you do to yours.On average 19 per cent of traffic fatalities in Saskatchewan

involve a large commercial vehicle, even though they accountfor less than five per cent of the vehicles on the road. In 78per cent of fatal crashes involving a large truck, the actiontaken by the driver of the other vehicle was the major factorcontributing to the collision.

Squash in the alleyBy Linda Wegner

Like many citizens of ourcommunity, the neighbourtwo doors south of us has aflourishing garden. It's thriv-ing so well, in fact, that vineshave wormed their waythrough the fencing and es-tablished themselves on anarrow patch of ground be-tween the wooden barrierand the concrete alley way. Iwondered if the huge yellowflowers would survive thetraffic that moves regularlybetween Fir and HawthornStreets but they have andnow, in their place, summersquash are fattening.

Ten things you don’t owe your child

With the Wheat Fest behind us, and the harvest getting well underwent at this time, there aremany biblical images of harvest that come to mind, including many of Jesus' parables. Quiteoften, those parables seem to deal with the final judgment and rendering an account about howone has lived their lives. Long before we actually die, one should be examining themselves on howwell they are doing and just how ready one is to meet their Maker and Creator.

Leaving it all up to God is certainly one approach one can take to human life, as one trustthat God will look after everything and that eternal salvation is after all His free gift to us,and not something that we can earn or merit in any way. Yet, there might be a danger thatone might slide into a certain spiritual complacency whereby one is easily satisfied of seem-ingly doing the bare minimum of praying occasionally, worshiping God when the spiritmoves you, and generally being a good person in terms of being nice to others.

On the exterior there seems nothing wrong with such a person as they appear to be doingall the right things, but just how much effort are they putting into making themselves rich inthe things of God? Just how much do they live truly dependent upon God and His graces tothem? It would seem that God has blessed us with any number of opportunities and peoplefor us to practice true love, forgiveness, service and generosity to others, so that we mightstrive to be fully obedient to Jesus' commandment of love. "You shall love the Lord your Godwith all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind; and you shall love yourneighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22:37-39). Or as Jesus teaches in St. John's gospel: "Love oneanother as I loved you". (15:12)

Upon a brief examination, one should realize that there is always more that we can do in termsof this level and capacity to love God and others, and that we can never say that that we have lovedenough. Obviously, we need to depend more on God's grace and help always to truly love in thisway. When it comes to the harvest theme, we examine ourselves every day on how deeply have Iloved, and how much have I allowed God's graces to work within my heart and soul? It is to theglory and honor of God that our lives bear much fruit, and this faithfulness to Christ and HisGospel is what we should strive for constantly. May God bless you.

A Fitting Harvest for the Lord

particular: it's big and itlooks so inviting to someonewho is a connoisseur of theCucurbita family. What'smost interesting, though, isthat is has remained un-touched for a few weeks. Myconclusion? Either our areaof the community is as hon-est and integrity-filled as Ichose to believe it is or therearen't a lot of squash loversaround this part of town.

Musing aside, there's a lotof nourishment resident inthat gourd and I hope theright person (owner or oth-erwise) receives the full ben-efit of its goodness. As weconsider the millions ofpeople around the worldwho would give anything fora meal a day, let alone three,

I can't help but grieve overthe food that is wasted inthis, our "land of plenty".

I've tucked two valuablelessons into my heart andmind via that rambling vine:first, may my life, like that ofthe Old Testament hero Jo-seph, provide godly nourish-ment to those around me.

"Joseph is a fruitful vine, afruitful vine near a spring,whose branches climb overa wall." (Genesis 49:22)

Then, there is no greaterprivilege than to garner myown soul's nourishmentfrom Jesus Christ, the Sourceof all our strength.

"I am the vine, you are thebranches." (John 15:5)

that they didn't get what they deserved. There are constant debates about what are ourrights as citizens. What are the basic rights of human beings?

I don't care to get in the middle of those debates. I'm not looking for controversy, but I amconcerned about our children. I'm concerned about what we are teaching our children forthe future. Are we teaching them how to be grateful and work hard or are we making life tooeasy for them?

The demands that we make as adults and the things we think we are entitled to areobserved by our children. They hear us talking and making demands. They hear the tone inour voices. They hear how we speak to others in authority. As they grow older, they mayoverhear the news or the radio broadcasts. They hear it all. The question is: Is it what you wantthem to be hearing? The example society is setting for our future is that they are entitled to geteverything they want. Is that true? Is everyone entitled to get everything they want?

As I walk through the store I often hear children complaining to their parents. "That's notfair!" "I want this!" "You promised!" Do your children think you "owe" them things?

You don't have to feel guilty for being the parent that says no. There are many things in lifethat we DO "owe" our children. As parents, we owe them our unconditional love, respect,and endless forgiveness. They deserve a place to call home, food to keep them healthy, andan education that will help them later in life. However, there are plenty of things in life theyare not entitled to. These are things parents don't need to feel guilty about. We do not needto feel guilty saying, "NO" to our children! In fact, I'm thankful to parents who say no totheir children. Sometimes the best way to love your child is to say no!

This is my list of 10 things you don't owe your child.1. Children are not entitled to rewards for good behavior. When you walk through the

store and your child behaves while you are shopping, you don't "owe" them a toy for goodbehavior. They behaved. That's GREAT! Done deal. This one drives me nuts! I would say tomy child, "Thanks for being so well-behaved in the store today!" They say, "You're welcome,what can we get?!" After many lessons, they are learning. Life is not a hand-out. Sometimesyou just have to do what is expected of you. Now, after teaching them, I can reward themonce in awhile and not have to continually hear them asking for a reward.

2. Children are not entitled to be the best athlete in school. Children walk on the field orthe court and expect they will have the skills and talent of a pro-athlete. What they don't realizeis that good athletes work hard. If they work hard and practice their skills they will reap therewards. The rewards do not necessarily mean professional sports though. Skill and talentdoesn't come automatically and it doesn't come without hours of committed practice.

3. Children are not entitled to every possession they want! First, let's help them appreciatethe things they have. Learning contentment is another hard but important life lesson. Next let'steach them the value of what it is they want. Teach them how to save their money for it. They canearn it. You don't have to buy it for them because they want it now. Give them a chance to wantit for a little while. They may discover if they wait that they didn't really want it that desperately.They will also learn patience. Your children will appreciate the item even more!

4. Children are not entitled to popularity. There is no rule that says they will or shouldhave a playground full of friends. Everyone is different. Teach them that sometimes a fewreally good friends is better. Popularity is not the most important part of life to strive for.We would never wish for our children to be without friends, but they need to learn how tomake friends and be a good friend in order to have them and keep them.

5. Children are not entitled to a gourmet meal. We work hard as parents and there area lot of aspects to running a home. You may not have time to make a 7-course meal when allthat is said and done. Parents don't have to feel guilty about that. Do the best you can toprovide a healthy balanced meal for your family. Teach your children to respect that. Let'steach them how to help make those meals! This is a win for everyone!

Watch for Part 2 next week!

Weyburn resident wins photo contestDeb Tokarz of Weyburn, one of the

ten winners chosen in The GreatSaskatchewan photo search held by MySask 411. Her winning photo was takenthree miles west of Weyburn.

"It truly felt as if God had sent thesunset just for me to see it's beauty, tosee what we sometimes take for granted."

Tokarz has been an amateur photog-rapher for a number of years after shefirst started taking photos of her back-yard. When her children left home, shehad more free time to get serious abouther new found hobby. Deb loves to takephotos of Saskatchewans history, in-cluding items such as old machinery or buildings.

Tokarz has future projects in mind such as documenting the day in the life of a senior, doing thesimple things in life that many of us do everyday but sometimes take for granted - the beauty insimplicity.

Pickleball -Come and play!

It may have a strange name, but it becoming one of thefastest growing sports in North America. The sport is rap-idly growing in Canada as the interest continues to grow.

If you combined tennis and badminton and added over-sized ping-pong paddles, you have the latest sport -PICKLEBALL. The sport is perfect for anyone that has lin-gering injuries. For example, the serve is underhand so it'sbetter for those with shoulder injuries. The court is smallerthan a tennis court, so the knees and hips aren't tested asmuch. Like tennis, it can be playing in a singles or doublesformat and it has its own list of definitions and rules. It'scalled a game for all: grandparents and parents can playwith youngsters.

As the result of the popularity of pickleball, it has beenintroduced as an event in the Sask. Senior Fitness Association(SSFA), 55+ Games in all eight district games in the province.The Southeast Connection district games will be held in May,2016. Qualifiers may choose to represent the district at theProvincial games in the Battlefords, July 5, 6 & 7, 2016. Checkthe website - www.ssfa.ca for more information.

You are invited to come and learn to play pickleball onMonday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:00 a.m. at the WeyburnTennis Club in Jubilee Park. There is no cost - only fun! Ifyou are interested, contact Lois Watts at 306-842-5056.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

It was a popular joke mak-ing the rounds in the WheatProvince over the weekend:"At least the Roughriderswon't lose this week!"

It's true, the SaskatchewanRoughriders won't lose in theupcoming Week 8 of the 2015CFL season because theyhave a bye and the scheduledbreak has temporarily pausedthis disastrous start to the cam-paign which has the club atthe bottom of the leaguestandings at 0-7.

The latest defeat came atthe hands of the TorontoArgonauts Saturday night atRogers Centre, 30-26, beforea surprisingly enthusiasticcrowd of 20,642 in theArgos' home-opener. But thegame itself was an eyesore.

It was the second-highestpenalty total in a single CFLregular season game with awhopping 24 infractions be-ing assessed to Saskatchewanand 15 more f lags beingthrown at Toronto.

Yuck.Even more disturbing is

the fact observers notedthree Roughriders touch-downs were called back dueto penalties, ultimately lead-ing to another demoralizingdefeat.

"Write it like the other(games) and you have thesame story," Riders coachCorey Chamblin said afterthe game. "Tight loss. Wedid some good things butnegative things hurt us.Everytime we had big plays,penalties killed us."

And that, perhaps, is themost maddeningly-frustratingthing about this horrendousseason for your friendlyneighbourhood Green &White. It's the same annoy-ing story being played overand over again on a weekly

basis.Going into Saturday's game

I chatted with the exasperatedGeneral Manager of theRoughriders, Brendan Taman,on CKRM's pregame showand he pointed out the big-gest culprit in all of their lossesso far.

"Turnovers," Tamanblurted, taking less than a sec-ond to answer. "(Going intothe Toronto game) we're mi-nus-9, we're the worst in theleague, and you don't wingames when that happens. Abig part of that is we're nottaking the ball away. Every-body associates the turnoverratio with offense, but we'vehad two takeaways all year ondefense which, we've all seen,is below normal and that's anunderstatement."

The CFL record for theleast amount of defensivetakeaways in a season is 25,set by the 2006 EdmontonEskimos. The 2015Saskatchewan Roughriders areon pace for only six.

"I don't know what I cansay on top of that. That reallysums it up," Taman continued."The penalties and tackling arepart of it but I think the turn-overs are huge. If we don't takethe ball away, we're going tohave issues to win games."

So the football clubcouldn't wait to get to this byeweek to reassess and chart thecourse for the final 11 games.A playoff spot, remarkably, isnot yet lost despite the record.Corey Chamblin has gonefrom Coach of the Year toCoach For The Year and eachmounting loss has thosewolves back howling outsidehis door.

Last week in this space Inoted that losing would not betolerated by the decision-mak-ers of this franchise however

that notion seems to havecooled. Chamblin's beengiven a vote of confidenceby his bosses and that ap-pears to have set him at easesomewhat in the days since.

However that hasn'tstopped the braintrust fromholding emergency meet-ings and seeing how best tomanage this crisis. FormerRoughrider President JimHopson is rumoured tohave offered a helpinghand, with his replacementCraig Reynolds treadingwater in the deep-end.

To quote singer GlennFrey, the "Heat Is On".

"Oh no. It's been clearlystated that we're in the busi-ness to win games," Tamanconcluded. "We all get that.We've tried to tinker withthe lineup, getting youngguys in to play, and gettinga change. We have tochange what we're doing.We started that scheme-wiseand lineup-wise with theToronto game. That hap-pens when you lose."

All the gloom and doomis understandable because,as I've noted countlesstimes, nobody's used to thisand it certainly wasn't ex-pected. But the Riders arestill the league's f lagshipfranchise and the preferreddestination for players toplay. They're getting morepublicity now than whenthey were at the top of thepodium. Make no mistake,the brand is still incrediblystrong.

But it can't take a pro-longed hit and everybody isaware of that.

All I know is I'm glad I'mnot the one who has to findthe answers.

Oh, and the Riders won'tlose this week.

Freeman inducted into Hall of FameThe Late Mervin Freeman, of Goodwater, Saskatchewan, will be inducted, posthumously, into the Saskatchewan

Baseball Hall of Fame, Individual Category as a player/builder, on August 15, 2015, at Battleford, Saskatchewan.Merv Freeman was born March 11, 1931, to Clarke and Bernice Freeman of Goodwater, Saskatchewan. Growing

up on the farm north of Goodwater, there was always lots of work to do, but baseball was always on his mind.Slim Bartelmy was coach and manager of the Goodwater team when Merv was a teenager and part of the team. He

faithfully attended practices and games. He was a great athlete with super reflexes and lots of power. With the lack ofgood pitchers and trying to win tournaments, Merv played many times. When his arm could not carry the pitchingduties, he took on the duties of catching and first base.

As a catcher, Merv knew the weaknesses of every batter in the league. This made pitching much easier with his abilityto call a smart game. He also knew the umpires and did a great job keeping them on their toes.Merv was also a very powerful left handed, clean up batter. A high fastball usually endedup out of the park.

Merv was picked for the Souris Valley League All Star team to play at the Indian Headtournament. Although they did not win, they represented the Souris Valley League very well.

Playing with, or against Merv, was always a pleasure as he was a great sportsman andgave a person credit where credit was due.

During his twenty years of playing baseball, from the late 1940's through the late1960's, Merv recorded a .300 batting average.

Following his years of playing baseball, Merv coached the Goodwater team for severalyears with great success. He had a very good work ethic with young players and developedmany young men into successful baseball players. He was instrumental in keeping the SourisValley Baseball League going at a time when fastball was in competition.

Merv and his wife, Jean, had three children, Ken, Sharon and Janice.He farmed and raised cattle until his retirement in 2005.Merv died February 18, 2009.
