FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2014 16 PAGES PRICELESS www.weyburnthisweek.com www.weyburnthisweek.com World-Renowned Vienna Boys Choir to perform in Weyburn Saturday, November 22 will be a date to mark on your calendar. That evening at 7:30 p.m., the world famous Vienna Boys Choir will perform at the Cugnet Centre. Ironically, the performance date also coincides with the celebration of Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music. It seems as though she may have played a part in bringing their gift of music to our city. The choir was first established after a letter written by Emperor Maximilian I, was sent out on July 7, 1498. The letter instructed court officials to employ a singing master, two basses and six boys to form a choir which was intended to provide musical accompaniment for the church mass. The boys both resided and received their training at the Palais Augarten. The boarding school provides education and musical training to the boys, which has proven to be quite beneficiary to the students, as many grew up to have careers as professional musicians. Over the centuries, the choir has changed shape and performed under the direction of several composers. The structure of the choir changed in 1924 to one that is still in place today. Joseff Schnitt officially founded The Vienna Boys Choir, after the fall of the Austrian Empire saw the Hofkapelle (court orchestra) disbanded. At this time the Vienna Boys Choir evolved into a professional music group and adopted the blue and white sailor uniform they perform in currently. The choir is sub-divided into four touring groups. Each group is named after a famous Austrian composer associated with the choir's history. The four groups are Bruckner, Haydn, Mozart and Schubert. The boys travel with their choirmaster and two tutors for approximately 11 weeks of the academic year. Each of the four choirs split the touring appearances and Vienna performances equally as to keep all the boys on a flexible and fair schedule. Currently the boys' choir duties include Sunday Services at the Imperial Chapel, appearances at official state events, concerts in Vienna and abroad, as well as performances at the Vienna State Opera and Volksopor. One of the 80 performances each student can expect to perform in each year has been secured through the Weyburn Concert Series. Tickets bought in advance are priced at $35 for an adult and $15 for child/student. Tickets will also be available at the door for $40 and $18 respectively.

TREASURES OF HOME CRAFT SALE & TRADE SHOW NOVEMBER 15, 2014 - 10:00 A.M. TO 4:00 P.M. Royal Canadian Legion & Grace United Church 14113MR00 Chamber appoints new General Manager The Weyburn Chamber of Commerce officially announced Rochelle Wendt as the new General Manager at the recent farmer appreciation night held on November 4. Jeff Richards, who was the Chamber's previous General Manager and Master of Ceremonies at the annual event, announced Wendt's appointment, beginning immediately. Rochelle has been working for the past two years as the Communications and Marketing Director for both the Chamber of Commerce and the Regional Economical Development committee. "Rochelle brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the General Manager coming from her role as Communication and Marketing Director" commented Rodney Gill, president of the Weyburn Chamber of Commerce. "Her visions align extremely well with the strategic direction and mission statements of both organizations. As such, we are confident that we will continue seamlessly as we transition from Jeff's leadership to Rochelle's." In her new position working as General Manager to the Chamber and her continued role as the general manger for the Economic Development Committee, Wendt will work to achieve the goals set by both organizations. The Chamber of Commerce aims to foster a strong economic environment in Weyburn and area, and the Economic Development Committee has similarily aligned goals to make a positive impact on the economy by increasing tourism to the area. Rochelle will combine the achievement in both of her roles as general manager to two different organizations that ultimately aim to achieve one strong economy.

The proclamation designates November 22 to the 29 as a week dedicated to focusing on community events and fundraisers all geared to one goal. The goal is to build a new hospital and fundraise for equipment that will be needed to operate in this state of the art facility. The original building quote is estimated to exceed the $100 million dollar range. It is not unreasonable to expect the actual cost of the building to far exceed that. With $100 million being used as a estimated total, 80 per cent of the total can be expected to be covered by government funding. The remaining 20 per cent is what is needed to be raised by the local community resulting in at least a 20 million dollar fundraising effort. The recent donation made by Crescent Point Energy in September has seen the foundation reach its $20 million goal but it is important to remember that the foundation has not secured all the monetary donations in their hands as of yet. Several of the groups such as, but not limited to, the RMs and the City of Weyburn, have pledged donations that are spanned over the next 15 years. This leaves the foundation with a majority of the money not in their hands. The next step seems to be getting public interest geared towards letting the government know that they would rather have this new facility built sooner, not later. The hospital foundation, which was initially developed to fund the building of a new facility in Weyburn, has not yet decided on the exact location of the hospital. Once it is built, the foundation will continue to fundraise to provide for much needed modern day equipment to house in the building. The foundation already has events in the works including A Valentine's Day Gala and their fifth annual charity golf tournament on their schedule. For any more information regarding the Weyburn and District Health Foundation please email [email protected].

Police warn residents to be more aware On November 9, Police responded to a local bar regarding a fight. Two males were having a discussion when one of them punched the other in the face. A 30 year-old male was arrested for being drunk in public and was lodged in cells until sober. The other male was taken home by friends. No charges were laid in the incident. On November 8, Police responded to an accident in the east area of the city after a vehicle collided with the rear of a parked semi trailer. The driver of the vehicle was looking down trying to determine how to turn his front wipers on when he collided with the trailer, the air bags deployed during the collision. The 51 year-old male was charged for driving without due care and attention. He suffered minor injuries following the accident. On November 7, Police responded to an accident in the 200 block of Government Road North. A north bound vehicle had collided with the rear of another north bound vehicle. The 33 year-old female driver of the second vehicle was trapped in her car after the collision, the air bags had deployed and the doors would not unlock. She was removed from her vehicle and transported to the hospital with minor injuries. She was charged with operating an unregistered motor vehicle. Also on November 7, Police responded to an accident at the Highway 39 and Sims Avenue intersection. A north bound vehicle was waiting to turn right on to Highway 39, a second north bound vehicle believed the other vehicle was waiting too long. The 41 year-old male driver went around the other vehicle on the driver's side and he sideswiped her vehicle. Further on November 7, an 18 year-old male attended Weyburn Police Service and stated that he had been assaulted by a 25 year-old male. He suffered from injuries to his left arm, hand and leg and also to his back. Police are investigating the assault. On November 6, officers on patrol stopped a vehicle driven by a 31 year-old female. She held a class 7 licence and was charged for driving in violation of her restriction. Her 51 year-old male passenger was arrested on other outstanding charges from a previous incident and transported to Weyburn Police Service. The 51 year-old male was charged with Evading Police and Driving While Disqualified under the Criminal Code, as a result of an incident that had oc- OILFIELD SERVICES TRUE TORQ POWER TONGS DOUG COLPITTS Owner/Manager Box 609 Carlyle, SK S0C 0R0 Bus: (306) 634-8084 Cell: (306) 577-8833 Fax: (306) 453-6478 Weyburn Public Library Branch The WPL is pleased to bring Moose Jaw photographer and painter, Ken Dalgarno, to Weyburn on Sunday, November 16 at 2 p.m. Ken will be talking about his latest book of photography, Badlands: A Geography of Metaphors.

The male had been driving a vehicle and when police had attempted to stop it the driver had fled at a high rate of speed. The pursuit was called off when the vehicle left Weyburn heading west on Highway 13. The accused was later released from custody and will be appearing in court later this month. Also on November 6, at approximately 9:00 p.m. a 16 year-old female was walking to her vehicle which was parked in the parking lot of the 10 Block of Second Street, just north of the Royal Hotel. The victim was approached by a male, described as younger in age, wearing dark pants and clothing. The suspect attacked the victim, striking her on the head with a blunt object while forcing her into the back seat of her own vehicle. The victim was able to fight off the attacker and escape, fleeing on foot to the Police Station. The victim was treated in hospital and later released to the safety of her family. There are no suspects at this time and the Weyburn Police Service continues to investigate. The Weyburn Police Service would like to remind women in our community to be conscious of their personal safety. A few suggested safety tips are: • Be aware of your surroundings, • Travel in pairs or groups whenever possible • Stay in well lit areas • Check your vehicle prior to getting into it The Weyburn Police Service is looking for witnesses or any information regarding this terrible assault. If you witnessed anything in the area of the 10 block Second Street or know anything regarding this crime, please call the Weyburn Police Service at 306-848-3250 or call Crime Stoppers. On November 5, Police received a complaint of an intoxicated male asking another male to buy him a beer. Officers located the man on Third Street South and he was taken to his residence. No charges were laid. On November 4, Police received a complaint from a witness at the Weyburn Court House. A 30 year-old female complained that she was being harassed by a 32 year-old male who was involved in a court case with her. An officer gathered further information from witnesses about the incident. The investigation resulted in no further charges being laid. Also on November 4, an 11 year-old male youth attended Weyburn Police Service to report a dog running at large. The dog in question had previously bitten another person. A charge of allowing a dog to run at large was laid under the bylaw with a scheduled court appearance later this month. Further on November 4, a 32 year-old female reported her two sons (ages 8 and 4) missing. Officers spoke to the 38 year-old father, who wasn't sure where they had gone. Weyburn Fire Department, Weyburn EMS, local cab companies and gas stations were notified and helped look for the children. Approximately an hour later, a further search of the residence found the kids safely sleeping in their beds. On November 3, an officer stopped a vehicle for a traffic offence. The 36 year-old male driver was found to be a disqualified driver. He was charged for driving while disqualified. His vehicle was also seized and impounded for 30 days.

Weyburn This Week, Friday, November 14, 2014 5 Weyburn This Week VIEWPOINTS Do you have a LETTER TO THE EDITOR TO SHARE WITH US? Please email it to us at [email protected] We need more snow! By Helen Waller Now I know what you are thinking and if it's anything like what ran through my head when I first heard this…it's not even rated PG13. Best to keep those sorts of thoughts in your head, especially around young children. All I can say is that the old saying "Out of the mouths of babes" certainly covers this one. I just got home from an hour drive home, which still did not give me enough time to unthaw from my time spent outside earlier. I had come to this conclusion. I hate winter and I hate being cold. The snow falling was not helping with either of these two things going away anytime soon. Upon arriving home, my little one was standing beside me at the window peering out at the snow falling with a look of disgust that matched mine. "I know ….it sucks! Winter is here" is what I said to reassure him that I felt his pain. His response made the room a little chillier. "No mom, it sucks there isn't ENOUGH snow out there for me to push into piles. We need more snow." It had become apparent that his look of disgust was for a completely different reason and let me tell you, it was nothing compared to the look that was now on his father's face nor the answer that followed. "We don't @#@%^ need any #@#$ more %$%# snow". (Try Google translator with that one). Apparently the higher up your view from the window was, the worst that the weather got or so it seems. Made me think…..all three of us were looking at exactly the same thing. Snowflakes falling. That's it…snow falling? How did something so simple, get such a wide range of reactions and who was right? Well, I got to thinking and realized, we were all right. We were right in how we felt about it. With that said, how far was being right going to get us? I figured it just suits me best to take the advice of the happiest one in the bunch. I mean, we live in Saskatchewan. It snows and snows and snows (and melts the next day, only to snow a few more inches the next.) Guess what? There's not a thing we can do about it. So why waste our time and energy fighting and complaining about something we have no control over. Perhaps it just may be time to take on a different perspective on the situation. Looks like the best view just happens to stand at 3'5" tall. This little guy just gave me a big lesson. There are a whole lot of things we cannot control in life, and Saskatchewan weathers just happens to be on the top of the list it seems. The one thing we can do, is control how we choose to look at it. So rather than watch from my window, I decided to get bundled up and join the kids outside. That's when it hit me. The Remembrance Day Service that left me so physically cold earlier that day, now warmed my heart. This is what they had fought for. Our freedom to enjoy our lives no matter what the weather may bring. Thought for the week "To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace." George Washington Watch, Lest We Forget This past week held Remembrance Day, and services were held all over the country. For days and weeks, we have heard and seen the encouragement "Lest we forget." Unfortunately, the sentiment all too often may be left with the poppy at the cenotaph on 11, 11, 11. However, if there is an emergency like the murder of two soldiers, suddenly we remember again...for a while, until it is safe again. It seems that our attention span is decreasing all the time. While it may take a while to get our attention, it then lapses in short order. This also seems to be the case for faith. Perhaps, more people have religion rather than faith. Religion is performing a duty, while faith is responding to a gift. Could this be part of the problem with society in Remembrance Day ceremonies. Instead of responding to the gift of freedom which the veterans have won for us, we dutifully attend the ceremonies, (pay our dues) albeit fewer each year, (especially if it is a long weekend), feeling that this is what we are to do. Some of the advertising this year has emphasized remembering veterans all year, and this is a very important suggestion. If not, we may fall into the trap of totally forgetting. The Gospel Lesson read in some churches last Sunday included cultivating the attitude to be ready. "Watch, for you know not the hour nor the day." How can we be "ready" all the time? Just asking that question shows that we are not prepared to do this. A rewording of the question may actually be, "How little do I have to do?" This "watching" cannot be like children or spouses who quickly clean the house before a parent or spouse returns. Cultivating a regular approach to "cleaning" will avoid this worry. So also with our attitude towards freedom and worship of Christ. Living this attitude every day brings life to us that nothing else can. What this means is that we offer to serve others. (Humility is not something we seek, but something that others recognize in us when we serve.) We do not offer to serve to receive the awards, but because of a sincere desire to help others. One of the worst things to have happened is the giving of volunteer awards. The splashy volunteer work gets recognized while the moment by moment every day tasks are missed. When ignored in the place of "spectacular" events, the regular is seen as unimportant. Actually, the regular is more important. Cooking a fancy meal brings happiness to people only if the pots used were clean, and the meal was served on clean dishes. Which is more important, cooking a gourmet meal or washing the dishes? Which is more important, having a photo opportunity on Remembrance Day or daily serving as we are able? Which is more important, Televangelists in buildings holding thousands, or faithful members of local congregations who regularly serve? As we "watch", let us serve in the small ways so that Jesus is lifted up in the world as its Savior. As we remember, let us show the love of Jesus to others, especially the "different", to avoid the crumbling of society into battlefields of sects and cliques. The Rev. Martin Olson, Zion Lutheran Church, Weyburn Be careful how you choose By Linda Wegner Ah, elections. Our American friends and neighbours recently elected politicians to fill hundreds of seats in the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. Here in our city we're going to the polls this week to elect six persons to sit on our City Council. Though there are vast differences in the number of candidates and seats to fill, as well as a number of other issues, what really matters is that we have the privilege and the right to choose who will represent us in national, provincial/state or municipal governments. It's a choice that millions of people around the world have fought for and died to have. Elections and government are the basis for many a joke and to deny that there are problems is folly; no system is perfect. Having said that, I say democracy is to be preferred to anything else I've heard about. There are lot of other imperfections in the electoral process, as well. To start with, not one candidate is faultless. Even if they were, we the voters don't have the ability to see the future nor to choose with unerring wisdom the person or persons who will do the best job. As I and my fellow citizens go to the polls this Saturday, I trust that we will have carefully pondered our decision. Trouble is, even that isn't an absolute guarantee. While there is no human institution without flaws and faults, each of us has the option to make right choices regarding eternity. The administration of earth's laws and policies might not stand the test of integrity and politicians may betray constituents but we have the promise that the word of God is unfailing. "Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven (stands firm as the heavens)." Psalm 119:89 Amplified I vote for that! ○○○○○○○○○ Hat’s off to... All those who participated in Remembrance Day events.

The 21-day project features the on-line auction of an original oil painting a day by Montmartre resident, Christalee Froese. "I am simply blown away by the generosity around me," said Froese. "People from Canada, the USA and New Zealand have bid, which just goes to prove the power of the story of one little Chinese orphan named Mei Chen." The complete sale price of the paintings will go to Mei Chen's adopting family, Bill and Kelly Schultz from Wisconsin, USA. Froese identified the orphan in China when she went to adopt her own This painting will go up for auction on November 16 at www.21days2joy.wordpress.com .

Mei Chen's adoptive mother, Kelly Schultz, has been overwhelmed by the response to the effort to raise enough money for her family to travel to China this spring to rescue Mei Chen from her orphanage. 'Mei says thank you everyone! And her new Mommy and Daddy are so so thankful that sooo many people love our little girl so much! I am in tears at the outpouring of love by everyone for one very special little girl!" wrote Schultz on the Art for Orphans bidding site (www.21days2joy.wordpress.com). The Art for Orphans auc- tion ends on November 21 with a special announcement. The 21st painting will be the 'Buyer's Choice' as Froese will paint whatever is requested. "I know some people missed out on paintings they wanted, or they have something in mind that is special to them, so I'm going to paint whatever the highest bidder on November 21 wants," said Froese. Bidding starts today on Painting #21 - Buyer's Choice! Current art can be viewed at Sister's Bistro in Montmartre, Sask.

"Our strong economy continues to give confidence to employers who, in turn, are deciding to expand their workforce," Minister responsible for Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Jeremy Harrison said. "Thanks to the hard work of Saskatchewan people, there are 71,700 more people employed today than there were in 2007." The latest report from Statistics Canada shows that employment in October 2014 was up by 3.5 per cent over last October with Saskatchewan employers creating 19,700 more jobs. In total, there were 576,200 people employed in the province, the highest ever for the month. The province's unemployment remained unchanged at a low of 3.5 per cent (seasonally adjusted), the lowest among the provinces and well below the national rate of 6.5 per cent. "We have maintained the lowest unemployment rate in the country for the past 23 months," Harrison said. On a month-over-month comparison, there were 2,300 more jobs (seasonally adjusted) in October over September. Other highlights: • Unemployment in major urban centres remains low. Regina CMA recorded its unemployment rate at 3.0 per cent (seasonally adjusted), the lowest among CMAs, while Saskatoon CMA's unemployment rate of 4.4 per cent (seasonally adjusted) was second lowest. • Female employment reached a historical high of 264,300 in October 2014. • There were 14,000 more full-time jobs and 5,700 part-time jobs created compared to last October. • Major employment gains were recorded in accommodation and food services (+5,400), construction (+5,100) and forestry, fishing, mining, oil and gas (+3,600) from a year ago. • Private sector employment was up 14,500 and self-employment up 8,200 from October 2013. New legislation governing organ and tissue donations will equip Saskatchewan to respond more quickly and greater flexibility to growing demand for transplants. The changes contained in The Human Tissue Gift Act, 2014, will modernize outdated legislation and provide the ability to make and update regulations. This could eventually allow the health system to purchase corneas from outside Saskatchewan, enabling more of the approximately 100 Saskatchewan residents typically waiting for a cornea transplant to receive the life-changing procedure in months rather than years. "We have the opportunity to remove impediments that delay live-saving or life-enhancing transplants for Saskatchewan," Health Minister Dustin Duncan said. "We owe it to those who face a decline in their health while they wait for a transplant." The need for organ and tissue transplants in Saskatchewan far exceeds the number of donors. "These changes will help us get much-needed organs and tissue to our patients, and will have a huge impact not only on their own lives but on also the lives of their family members," Saskatchewan Transplant Program Director Diane Shendruk said. "This is a positive step forward for transplant services in our province." The new Act will enable Saskatchewan to stay current with changing practices in Canada and internationally, in order to better serve patients. Prairie Sky donates Pioneer Woman Sculpture receives $10,000 donation Members of the Prairie Sky Coop met with representatives of the Pioneer Woman Sculpture Committee recently to present the ladies with a cheque for $10,000 towards their cause. The committee was formed as the result of a dream shared by seven individuals. Ross McMurty, Isabelle Butters, Mayvis Goranson, Stan Runne, Leo Leydon, Janet Linnell and Heather van der Breggen have joined forces to make this sculpture a reality. The sculpture is being created by husband and wife team, Shirley and Don Begg. Don has studied sculpture and bronze casting throughout Canada and the United Sates. His previous pieces have depicted wildlife, historic figures, western scenes and the oil and gas industry . Shirley works along side her husband, researching and visualizing the final sculpture. Once created, the Pioneer Woman Sculpture will be placed along the Souris River at a location yet to be decided. It will serve as a reminder to all, of the gallant women who lived, loved and sacrificed so that we may inherit the life we now enjoy. For more information regarding the sculpture, contact Ross McMurty at (306) 8480444. The committee is appreciative of any further donations they may receive and encourage residents to share their story of a pioneer woman with them by calling Jan Linnell at (306)842-5987. General manager, Don Kraft, centre, presents Pioneer Woman Sculpture committee member, Mayvis Goranson, with a cheque for $10,000 from Prairie Sky Co-op. The donation will go towards the sculpture which will find a home on the banks of the Souris River.

BROUGHT TO YOU BY: 136 RAILWAY AVE., WEYBURN • (306) 842-3395 (306) 897-7499 • www.pursuitsc.com And now the moment you've all been waiting for. After a gruelling 20-week regular season from which the Saskatchewan Roughriders emerged at 10-8, the 2014 Canadian Football League Playoffs are now at hand. The bar has been raised so high in Saskatchewan for the past decade that, to me, the regular season has become somewhat tedious. As far back as June we found ourselves daydreaming about what the playoffs would bring, and in what way the Roughriders would have to defend their 2013 championship. Now we know, and it's infinitely thrilling that the time is now! Saskatchewan's 24-17 home win over Edmonton this past frigid Saturday night accomplished a lot of things: it snapped a five game losing skid, showed the team they can win without Darian Durant, assured an above .500 record and guaranteed the Riders would stay in the West Division for the postseason rather than crossover into the East. It sets up a meeting between the Riders and Eskimos Sunday at Commonwealth Stadium in the Western Semifinal (3:30 pm Sask time, TSN, 620 CKRM). "Whether it was East or West, the team was prepared to go either but it's always nice to stay in the West," said a content Rider coach Corey Chamblin after the game. "For us we've played Edmonton the most the past few weeks and there are some known strengths and weaknesses in the opponent. In terms of prep, it's good to know the opponent you're playing. There are some base things to study from this game and they put their best foot forward to win this game." Indeed it was impressive how hard Edmonton tried to win Saturday night, given the fact they really had nothing to play for. It's true they had the ability to affect who they'd play in the WSF, but that seemed to be the last thing on their mind. Meanwhile the Rider coaches were tearing their hair out doing advance scouting last week for a possibility of four opponents in the first round of the playoffs: Edmonton, Hamilton, Montreal or Toronto. Now they know it's the Eskimos and getting past them won't be an easy task. Edmonton's 12-6 record represents the biggest single-season turnaround in franchise history after going 4-14 last year. They are also #1 on offense and #2 on defense going into the playoffs. How can you be better than that? The thing you'll be hearing about the most this week is the quarterbacks. Top pivots Mike Reilly and Darian Durant were held out of the final regular season game by the Eskimos and Riders respectively, and we're told both were due to injury. Let the gamesmanship begin. "Our quarterback was really hurt," Chamblin smiled. "Regarding Mike Reilly, I think that's just a ruse. It doesn't matter who their quarterback will be. We'll have to be ready to play." Of course Darian Durant hasn't played since September 7 due to an elbow injury and he's slowly been worked into practice the past couple of weeks. In Durant's absence the past three weeks, 41-year old veteran Kerry Joseph has filled in. "Kerry did a good job (Saturday night)," Chamblin continued. "When he broke the run, he looked like Darian. He's starting to look like a playoff quarterback. Whether it's #4 or #5 going in the playoffs, or both, we'll be ready." The question is; which one will it be? Wouldn't the Eskimos like to know. I expect this will be strung out all week, long enough for the Rider Nation to snap up tickets in advance for Sunday's playoff game at Commonwealth Stadium. In case you hadn't heard, your attendance is requested. "A lot of things have gone against us but I think the tide is turning for us," Chamblin said optimistically. "I think it helps with prep playing Edmonton again but I'm excited to get there and we'll have our fans with us."

You are invited to a Curling Clinic to learn to use the curling stick. The curling clinic will be held on November 19 and 26 at the Weyburn Curling Club starting at 1:00 pm. Contact Frank Kaip at 306842-2084 or Glenn at the curling club at 306-842-2236 to register. You won't want to miss this opportunity to participate in the sport that you love! Two Person Stick Curling is a relatively new sport which provides challenge and excitement for people of all ages on an equal and competitive basis and in a social atmosphere. Stick curling is also appropriate for people with physical disabilities such as knee, back, heart, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, ankle or foot problems. The rocks are delivered with a curling stick from a standing or sitting position (i.e. wheelchairs) enabling everyone to participate competitively. In stick curling there are two curlers per team, who deliver their rocks with delivery sticks, with each team member delivering from opposite ends of the sheet of ice. Sweeping is allowed only from the hog line to the back of the house at the playing end. Two curlers, one from each team, alternately deliver six stones each per end, while their teammate skips that end. The roles are then reversed and the partners deliver the stones back. No stone may be removed from play until the fourth stone of each end. Games are six ends and take about an hour to play. 2 Person Stick curling and regular curling is an event at the Saskatchewan Senior Fitness Association (SSFA) - 55+ Provincial Games. You may contact Margaret Gailing-Stepp at 306-842-4807 for more information about the 55+ Games. 2 PERSON STICK CURLING • Curling Clinic • November 19 & 26 1:00 p.m. - Weyburn Curling Club To register contact Frank Kaip 306-842-2084 or Glenn 306-842-2236 COME OUT & GIVE IT A TRY!
