Sarcan celebrates grand openingLocal dignitaries and citizens of Weyburn celebrated the grand opening of the brand new
Sarcan facility with a ribbon cutting ceremony on November.The ceremony was hosted by the Mistress of Ceremonies and Executive Director of the
Weyburn Wor-Kin Shop, Andria Brady. Speeches were given by Dustin Duncan, TheMinister of Health/MLA for Weyburn-Big Muddy, City Councillor Mel Van Betuw andAmy McNeil, the Executive Director of Sarcan Recycling.
The new building, which is located at 1800 Ebel Road, will benefit both the customersand the employees. Additional space in the building allows for a larger customer servicearea, a roomier back staff area, and more customer parking. The depot is much cleaner andbrighter than the previous one. It is also equipped with a new air exchange system, which willaid in the uncomfortable smell often associated with recycling centres.
The original Sarcan depot was one of 32 to open in the province in June of 1988.Since that time, the Weyburn depot has recycled a staggering 134,543,283 containers.Since its inception in 1988, Sarcan has always and will continue to employ people of allabilities. Beyond the community employment, Sarcan benefits the community by dras-tically reducing the amount of waste that is taken to the local landfill. The new depot,which is over double the size of the previous building, measuring in at 11,000 sq. ft., willmake it easier for customers and employees alike to meet the recycling needs of the ever-growing city of Weyburn.
After the speeches and official ribbon cutting ceremony, refreshments and cake wereenjoyed by all who attended. Tours of the new depot were given to customers who wereinterested in viewing the new facility.

Steps in choosing the perfect giftBy Linda Wegner
Believe it or not, like it or not, Christmas is less than a month away. Thanks to a mother whonever failed to celebrate no matter how difficult the circumstances, I love everything about theseason. Well, almost everything.
Choosing gifts for family and friends challenges me so much that I decided to do someresearch. From a number of websites I gleaned these excellent tips and I share them with you (justin case I'm not alone in this dilemma).
First thing on the list: be well acquainted with your friend's interests and, I would add, theirneeds. I never thought I'd ever ask Hubby for a walking cane but recently I did just that.
And then there is the matter of budget; having one is a no-brainer, sticking to it is anothermatter. P.S. January is much more pleasant when you do.
Next: take someone with you when you shop. Not sure if the writer had choosing a gift orsticking to a budget in mind but advice in either category is valuable.
Once the gift is purchased the next step involves wrapping it. While retrieving newspaper fromthe recycle bin is far less expensive, it does help to be a bit more creative. Having said that it ishighly possible to be both artistic and cheap at the same time - just be sure both elements areincluded.
After you've written a note or card and if it's at all possible, present the gift in person. Whilethe virtual world trumps postage and transportation costs, at this special time of the year nothingbeats a gift accompanied by a hug.
Next week read more about the supreme gift and giver."For by grace are ye saved through faith' and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God."
Ephesians 2:8 KJV
Help out the less fortunate!By Andrea Corrigan
I had a totally different column ready for this weekendbut then I made a trip to Toronto and my topic drasticallychanged.
One of my favorite things to do to pass the time whileJohn is busy with meetings, is to people-watch. I headeddown Queen Street towards the Eaton Centre, which isone of the busiest places in the area.
As I wandered in the early morning, around 10:00 a.m.,the first person I encountered was this man (picturedright). I slowed my pace as I walked by and then lookedahead to notice another person lying on the sidewalk (pic-tured left). After I passed by the second man, I pulled overto the side to observe the way people took in this scene. Icounted as 37 people walked by these two men in less than

Notice"Why don't I FEEL like God is real? What do I need to do to feel His presence?"Maybe we don't "feel God" very often because we've come to expect something different from
God than what our ordinary life delivers. We've read accounts in the Bible of when God shows upin HUGE ways, and we think those are supposed to be what we experience all the time. We forgetthat those accounts are in the Bible because they are UNUSUAL. "Miracle" can be defined as "ahighly improbable or extraordinary event…" Thank you, Google Dictionary!
If that's the case, then God must have different ways of "showing up" every day. While we cravethe dramatic, God's preference is for the ordinary. He'd rather show up in your heart & actionsas you live your ordinary life every day. The hard thing to do is to NOTICE when He shows up.
Here are a couple of hints to help you become aware of God's presence during this Christmasseason. (These are based on a few of what the Bible calls "The Fruit of the Spirit" from Galatianschapter 5)
1. Peace - When the snow is gently falling, the guests have just left, or the kids are FINALLYasleep, there is a moment that I call "the exhale". The peace that ever so gently rests on yourshoulders is God's presence saying, "I'm here. I love you." NOTICE!
2. Joy - hopefully your Christmas season will be sprinkled with those surprising moments thatbring a smile to your face and laughter to the room. NOTICE - God's there too!
3. Love - Christmas is a perfect time to pay attention to love. When is there more love in theroom than when your family and/or friends are making lifelong memories together? This is acrucial, and yet usually overlooked piece of evidence that God is at work right in front of yournose! NOTICE!
4. Gentleness & Kindness - at Christmas we have an unusually strong sense of compassion forother people. We are willing to share what we have with people who don't have as much. It's reallygood to pay attention to that stirring in our hearts when we feel and act on those feelings.NOTICE!
I am praying for you that over this Christmas season, you will feel God's presence with youmore than you have ever felt Him before. Merry Christmas!

a one block area and NOT ONE person even bat-ted an eye. What the hell is wrong with people?
I understand that if you see this as part of yourdaily ritual, you begin to become oblivious to yoursurroundings. I must admit that from the first timeI witnessed a homeless person, until now, I've be-come rather accustomed to the sight. However,for someone to not even glance over or have anysort of reaction, frankly makes me sad. I can't be-lieve that not one passerby hasn't any compas-sion, if not curiosity.
The first time I encountered this, people thatwere accustomed to seeing this, told me many dif-ferent stories. Stories of how these people wouldbeg for money, fill their cups up and then live afiner life in another part of the city, than I did.They told me how these people would take themoney and sit in the bar or go buy drugs until thenext time they needed cash. There are talks ofscams and cheating that are hard to believe.
But what about the real homeless people? Thesemen were sleeping on the grates of the street wherethe heat comes up from the subway, just to keep warm. I'm sorry. That's just not right. How doesthis happen? These same storytellers tell me that these homeless people are just lazy. They spendtheir money on drugs and gambling. Wow!!!
In this day of plenty, we in little old Weyburn, Saskatchewancannot even fathom the idea of sleeping on the street or goingwithout. Some of us cannot even imagine not having heatedseats in our vehicle, let alone a warm bed in which to sleep.What has happened to our compassion for others? I'm notnaive enough to believe that some of these shenanigans don'texist. After all, I do watch Dr. Phil!
Even I have somehow been able to walk past the personwith the cup and not give, but I still acknowledge. I still havesome sort of reaction to a person who has to do this to survive.
I spent my down time in Toronto wondering if the person inthe wheelchair, who was begging, went home that night andwalked into a lovely home. Isn't that terrible? We have been soswayed by scammers and fraud. All I know, is the one cup Ican't walk by this time of year, is the Salvation Army kettle. Idon't care if I only have a quarter with me, it's going in thatkettle. I rely on this organization to help the people who reallyneed it. Even though you may not think we have this problem
in little old Weyburn, because you don't see people lying on the streets - we do have a problemwith people who don't have food in their cupboards. This is not because these people are lazy, butbecause they have to pay for a roof over their heads and sometimes there is nothing left of apaycheque to cover anything else.
If you have no idea what that's like because you are abundantly blessed, then please head downto Barber Motors or the Salvation Army and drop off your food donation. Let's help out thepeople who really need it this holiday season.
Facebook saying of the week: I don't have time to worry about who doesn't like me. I'm too busyloving the people who love me. Amen to that!
Pet peeve of the week: When people don't take the time to scrape their windows before theyhead out on the road. This is extremely dangerous to not only you, the driver, but to other drivers.
That's just me......let me know what you think!○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ Scan with

Though winter has settled in across the province, Saskatchewan's provincial parks arealready looking ahead to the 2015 parks season.
"Saskatchewan's provincial parks continue to be incredibly popular tourism destina-tions," Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Mark Docherty said. "Demand for our provin-cial parks continues to increase and we are always looking for ways to enhance our visitorexperience."
One of the most popular programs available each summer is the seasonal campingprogram. Seasonal camping offers the opportunity to secure a campsite from mid-Mayto the end of August. These campsites are offered at a discount from the regular nightlycamping rate and are always in high demand. There are 21 provincial parks and recre-ation sites that offer the seasonal camping program, and due to its popularity, campsitesare allocated via a lottery system.
The application forms for seasonal campsites will be available online atwww.saskparks.net beginning Monday, January 5, 2015. The deadline for applications isThursday, January 29, 2015, and the draw to award the campsites will be Monday,February 2, 2015.
Nightly camping reservations will be available for booking beginning the first week ofMarch. As in past years, there will be a staggered launch, with different parks available ondifferent days. Campers can expect the launch to be spread out over more days than ithas been in the past, with fewer parks becoming available for reservation each day. Moreinformation about the nightly camping reservation launch will be available in the newyear.
The Government of Saskatchewan recognizes the value and importance ofSaskatchewan's provincial parks and continues to invest in them. The 2014-15 Budgetincreased funding to provincial parks by 4.6 per cent and capital investments will total arecord $14.9 million this year.
Brandt and Hazen re-appointedto Bengough Housing Authority
Brenda Brandt has beenre-appointed Chairperson tothe Bengough Housing Au-thority Board of Directorsalong with the re-appoint-ment of Deborah Hazen.Other members of the boardof directors are MildredHoffart, Kathleen (Kay)Jones and Debra Tonita.
The Bengough HousingAuthority is a community-based organization that pro-vides daily management of 31housing units constructedand operated under the termsof a federal provincial munici-pal cost sharing agreement.
Social Services Minister,Donna Harpauer, paidtribute to the volunteerswho manage the social hous-ing projects in their commu-nity. "This local hands-onapproach ensures that theSaskatchewan HousingCorporation responds ef-
fectively to the needs of eachcommunity."
Saskatchewan has a net-work of 271 housing au-thorities and more than1,400 volunteer memberswho assist with managementof housing units throughoutthe province for seniors, lowincome families and personswith disabilities.
Persons interested in vol-
unteering to serve on theboard of directors for theBengough Housing Author-ity are encouraged to con-tact the mayor of Bengough.A local nominating commit-tee recommends boardmembers.
Applications for accom-modation are available fromthe manager of the BengoughHousing Authority.
Water Securityreleases report
The Water Security Agency has released a fall conditionsreport which outlines the precipitation conditions for theprovince going into winter freeze-up.
This past year, most areas of the province received 150-200 per cent above the normal amount of precipitation onwhat was an already saturated landscape. Due to this recordrainfall during the first half of the 2014 growing season,many areas have as much or more water on the landscapethan in the fall of 2010.
Consecutive years of above normal precipitation have re-sulted in larger wetlands areas across the province remainingnear full heading into the winter, and many creeks continueto flow at or near record levels for this time of year. Themajority of the subsoil across the grain belt appears to re-main fully charged, reducing the infiltration capacity of thelandscape in the spring of 2015.
Depending on the amount of precipitation experiencedover the winter, this could increase the risk of flooding incertain areas during the 2015 snowmelt. At this time, a nearnormal snowpack this winter could result in an above nor-mal spring runoff.
Since 2011, the Government of Saskatchewan has pro-vided more than $30 million to assist in the construction of600 permanent works across the province. These mitiga-tion efforts, such as the installation of permanent bermsand culverts, will assist in protecting property in the event offuture flooding.

Conservation Cornerby Lindsey Leko,Weyburn Field Area Conservation Officer
Well, deer season is here. The cold weather has hit, my Christmas lights are up, andit looks like winter is here to stay for a few months. No white stuff on the ground yet,but I would think that this will change within a day or two. Many of the sloughs andsmaller ponds have frozen over, but the larger water bodies are still open.
During the past couple of weeks, we have done a few meat processor inspections.For the most part, everything has gone well with what we are seeing at the butchershops. One issue we are seeing is the way that some people are improperly tagging theiranimals. This process is pretty simple and is no different than the system we had inplace years ago before we had the sticky backed tags that many of you hated.
For big game, each hunter is issued a three-part tag/seal. These tags can be pickedup at any ministry office. When you get these tags and associate the number on thetag with a given species that you have purchased a license for, make sure that youmark the species on the tag. That way, you do not have to worry about putting yourregular season elk tag or a draw tag on your Saskatchewan resident first white-tail. Wehave already encountered a few instances where people have put the wrong tag on theanimal. We are also hearing that some animals are not even tagged when they comeinto the shop. The hunter simply hands the butcher a set of tags, and tells him to "putthese on". This is not the way it is to be done and chances are pretty good that if werun into you in the field or enroute to the butcher with a deer that doesn't have a tagon it, then we are going to be scratched off your Christmas card list as this is aticketable offence!
As a reminder, here is the correct process for tagging big game:• Do NOT separate any tags until you are ready to cancel them after you have
harvested your animal. Seals that are separated are void.• Once the animal has been harvested, immediately cancel your tags by tearing
them apart.• Cut out or notch the date that the animal was harvested (month and day).• Insert string or quick zip tie into the tag.• Attach the designated tag to the hide, meat and antlers of the harvested animal.• Ensure the antler seal is above the burr and below the first fork or tine on the
antler, the hide seal to an ear and the meat seal through the ribs or leg tendon.• These tags have to remain on the animal (hide and antlers) permanently; and• Tags stay on the animal when taken to a meat cutter until processed. Another issue that many have asked about is the hunting of feral wild boar. There
are some restrictions on the hunting and killing of wild boar that need to be takeninto account.
Feral wild boar are considered a dangerous stray animal under The Stray AnimalsAct. As such, if you have permission from the RM administrator and the landowner,you can legally kill wild boar(s) while you're hunting big game with a valid license.
Saskatchewan's Wildlife Regulations prohibit anyone from hunting wildlife (in-cluding feral wild boar) during an open big game season unless they hold a valid biggame license which is valid in that zone at that time. Outside of a big game season,under The Stray Animals Act you can harvest wild boar once you've received permis-sion from the local RM administrator and have landowner permission.
As with deer, you are not allowed to hunt wild boar at night or use a spotlight tolocate them. Even First Nations people must have access to the land, which wouldinclude landowner permission in order to hunt wild boar for food.
Other common issues that officers find in the field include improper dress. Every-one now knows the new rules surrounding dress (that approved vests can be usednow), but many do not know that any person accompanying a big game hunter mustbe dressed as well in the specified colors. Even if you have no intention of leaving thetruck you must still be dressed properly. This would include kids, friends and spousesaccompanying you while hunting big game.
You can hunt coyotes during a big game season if you wish, but you may notaccompany a big game hunter while doing so. You cannot be hunting together at alland may not even be in the same vehicle.
You must also carry with you, a valid copy of your hunting license. Simply showingus a photo of it on your portable electronic device will not be allowed.
The Weyburn Wildlife Federation has set up a hide box out at Maintracks on thewest side. All hides can be dropped off there but please make sure that it is only hidesand not antlers, legs, heads or garbage. The people who run this are volunteers anddo not need to be sorting through these hides picking out garbage and other items.
The last thing that I want to remind you all is to respect land owners rights to theirproperty. Doing things like driving all over fields, over winter wheat, standing cropwill result in poor landowner/hunter relations and lots more posted land. Until nextweek…happy hunting and be safe out there!

There is that old sayingthat says "Nothing is certainin life except death andtaxes", but Saskatchewanpeople know that isn't quitetrue. There is a third thingthat's certain: winter on theprairies.
If you're like me, back inOctober you probably gotsucked into thinking, 'Oh,this isn't bad. Maybe it willstay like this all winter.' Well,at least the mild weatherhung in until November.That's something, at least.
Of course, with wintercomes snow, and with snowcomes ice, which makes ahazardous combination onthe roads. We all know thatit always takes a little whileuntil our winter drivingbrains kick in so until theydo please just be a little morecautious, take a little moretime and drive a little slower.
Snow removal is a highpriority for our city at thistime of year. We are very wellaware of how important itis for safety and quality oflife. We know that it has to
MAYOR'SMUSINGS

be done fast but we alsoknow that it has to be donesafely and thoroughly. Iknow it's hard to be patientwhen your street hasn't beenscraped for awhile but I wantto assure everyone that ourcrews on the ploughs areworking as fast as they can.
There's not much we cando to keep winter away exceptto scoop it up and move it butwe have taken significant stepsto deal with that other so-called certainty: taxes. I waspleased to see the recent re-port of the Canadian Federa-tion of Independent Business(CFIB) on property tax fair-ness in Saskatchewan, whichrated Weyburn highly in allcategories.
The CFIB study showedthat, among Saskatchewancities, Weyburn had thefourth lowest residentialproperty tax and the secondlowest commercial propertytax. As well, our "tax gap"(the difference between resi-dential and commercial taxrates) is fourth best among15 urban centres.
I'm especially pleased thatwe have achieved this whilestill providing a high level ofquality public services. Thisjust goes to show that it paysto run a city like you run yourhousehold - with fiscal pru-dence and common-sense.
All of this adds up tomore money in the pocketsof the regular, working fami-lies who have built our city.I'm sure we will all appreci-ate that extra money whenit comes time for Christmasshopping.
Speaking of Christmas, incase I don't have a chance towrite to you before then, Ihave three Christmasthoughts I'd like to pass on.First, don't worry aboutyour diet until New Year's -it's not worth driving your-self crazy. Second, please doyour best to support ourlocal merchants when you'reout shopping.
Last and most importantly,I hope that you and yoursenjoy all the blessings of theseason and have a happy andprosperous 2015.

Letter to the EditorOur Conservative Government continues to stand up for Canadian families by mak-
ing life more affordable and helping families make ends meet. Every family with childrenwill have more money in their pockets to spend on their priorities following the PrimeMinister's recent announcement.
Previous tax relief measures since our government took office in 2006, have resulted ina tax reduction of approximately $3400 for an average, two-earner family with twochildren.
The Family Tax Cut, commonly referred to as income splitting, will allow a higherincome spouse in a family with a child or children under 18, to transfer up to $50,000 oftaxable income to a spouse in a lower tax bracket up to a maximum tax benefit of $2000.I find it remarkable that the leader of the Liberal opposition party, Justin Trudeau,intends to do away with income splitting if his party is elected. I can hardly imagine thatCanadian families would accept such a proposition.
The popular Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) has not only been continued butthe amount will be increased from $100 to $160 per child under 6 years of age, and inaddition, will broaden to include children beyond that age, up to age 17, with a paymentof $60 per child. For parents with children under age 6, this means $1920 per child, peryear, and for children age 6 - 17, $720 per child, per year, effective January 1, 2015.
This is such a good policy and initiative that I would certainly be prepared to fight anelection in Souris - Moose Mountain on this issue alone. The Opposition will have adifficult time opposing this.

Next came LutherCollege who they defeated 2-0 (25-16, 25-14) and Warman2-0 (25-13,25-13). This had the girls at 3-0 and tied for firstplace after the first day of action.
On Saturday morning the first place match up with MooseJaw Peacock, saw Weyburn easily win 2-0 (25-20, 25-12).Weyburn advanced to the semi-finals in a 2-1 set victory overPA St. Mary (23-25, 25-23, 25-23). It was a spectacularmatch by both teams!
In the semi s, the Eagles lost to Balgonie (eventual gold medalwinners) in a thrilling two set match 2-0 (25-20, 30-28).
