Letter to the EditorDear Editor:As we have seen in Canada, the international jihadist movement has declared war and

Canadians are being targeted by these terrorists simply because they hate our society and thevalues it represents.

One only need to look back over the past several weeks at the terrorist attacks in Ottawaand Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu as well as attacks abroad in Australia and Paris, to see that thethreat of radical Islamic extremism is a very real threat.

These threats require a strong response.That is why, under the strong leadership of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, our Conser-

vative Government took action and brought forward the Protection of Canada fromTerrorists Act and Anti-terrorism Act 2015 that takes steps to protect Canadians againstjihadi terrorists who seek to destroy the very principles that make Canada the best countryin the world to live.

As Prime Minister Harper clearly said, our Government rejects the argument that everytime we talk about security, our freedoms are threatened. Canadians understand that theirfreedom and security go hand in hand. Canadians expect us to protect both, and there areprotections in this legislation to do exactly that.

The fundamental fact is that our police and national security agencies are working toprotect our rights and our freedoms, and it is jihadi terrorists who endanger our securityand who would take away our freedoms.

Providing national security agencies with new tools will ensure that gaps in sharing infor-mation about suspected terrorists does not limit their ability to prevent attacks on Canadaor against Canadians.

We as politicians do not enforce the law, but we have the duty to make sure that lawenforcement has the necessary tools to keep Canadians safe.

We will continue to do just that.Ed Komarnicki, Member of Parliament

OBITUARYROGAL - Aileen Marjorie (Peggy) Rogal died peacefully at the Weyburn General HospitalFebruary 14th, 2015. Peggy was born in Farnborough, Hampshire, UK August 26th, 1918to Laura Babbington (Willis) and Sidney Babbington.Mum attended school in Farnborough and was involvedin sports, excelling and winning awards, especially in"Stool Ball". During WWII, Mum was employed at theRoyal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) in Aldershot,manufacturing munitions for the war effort. It wasduring this time in her life when she met Private MikeRogal of the South Saskatchewan Regiment at a dancein Farnborough. After a few months courtship, theywere married in Farnborough in March 1941. Theirfirst child, daughter Ann, was born in Farnboroughand in May 1944 Mum travelled with Ann to Canadaon the Duchess of Bedford, arriving at Pier 21 in Halifax.They travelled by train to Weyburn while they awaitedDad's return from the war. Mum spent the balance ofher life in Weyburn, where Michael was born, followedby Lauren.

Mum was an avid square-dancer in the 1970's enjoy-ing that activity for several years. She was a lifetime member of the Royal Canadian LegionLadies Auxiliary, enjoying her involvement in Legion activities and cherishing the friendshipsshe developed. Another favourite involvement was with the War Bride's Association formany years and again she cherished her fellow War Bride friends. Many activities and get-togethers were enjoyed by this lively group of women!

Canvassing for various charities, being a regular blood donor, and volunteering for theWeyburn Union Hospital Auxiliary Canteen every Wednesday for many years were otheractivities she enjoyed.

From the day Mum arrived in Weyburn, she began attending All Saint's Anglican Church,becoming very involved in the Women's Auxiliary, later known as the Anglican ChurchWomen, holding various offices within this organization. She was a loyal member of theAltar Guild for decades, again enjoying the friendships she made within her church family.

Following the death of Mike in 1977, Mum eventually began taking tours throughoutCanada and the northern U.S. which she thoroughly enjoyed. She returned to Englandtwice prior to Mike's death and twice following. She always maintained, though, thatCanada was her home and that she was here to stay.

Mum was mainly a "stay-at-home Mum", but she was employed at the Weyburn SpecialCare Home on 5th Street for seven years, enjoying not only the job and her co-workers butalso the residents.

Mum was an excellent cook and many meals were enjoyed by family and friends. She cookedChristmas Dinner well into her 80's, her turkey always cooked to perfection, along with all thetrimmings. No one in our family has been able to duplicate Mum's Christmas turkey!

Mum was predeceased by her loving husband, Mike, parents Laura and Sidney, brotherJack, sister Betty, sister-in-law Vicky, brothers-in-law Walter, Stan, Joe and Frank.

She will be lovingly remembered by her children: Ann Crossland (Paul); Michael Rogal(Charlotte); Lauren Kievits (Dave). Her grandchildren: Doug Wilson (Francine); MichaelRogal (Jen); Ken Rogal (Lisa); Kara Rogal (Jeremy); Wayne Vande Velde (Lisa); Casey Kievits(Stephanie); Kelly Prochinsky (Mike). Great Grandchildren: Nicole Wilson; Braxton Rogal;MacKenzie and Morgann Rogal; Brandon, Kurtis and Layne Vande Velde; Nyla and MichaelProchinsky; Emersyn Kievits.

Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Fletcher Funeral Chapel, Weyburn. The funeraltook place at All Saint's Anglican Church in Weyburn with The Rev. Brian Woods officiat-ing, assisted by Debbie Hubick, on Tuesday, February 17th at 2 p.m.

And the Earth movedBy Linda Wegner

According to news reports, it hit shortly after 8:00 PM last evening, Pacific DaylightTime, and was centred just forty-seven kilometres (approximately thirty miles) east south-east of where I live. It, being an earthquake, clocked in at 3.5 and some say it was followedby a second, less weighty version. That's what I was told but I didn't feel a thing.

Earthquakes are a part of life for us Pacific Coast dwellers and the arrival of theimpending "big one" is a daily possibility. In my books, all our bragging about warmweather, blooming flowers and mini-winters is muted by the reality of waiting for anearthquake that would, according to specialists, "rip Vancouver Island wide open".

According to Earthquake Seismologist, Dr. John Cassidy: "During the past 30 daysthere have been nearly 100 earthquakes in southwest British Columbia so every day wehave these small earthquakes happening all around us." They are, he noted, a "powerfulreminder that we live in an active earthquake zone". (http://globalnews.ca/news/1831562/3-5-magnitude-earthquake-hits-vancouvers-coast/)

Although I don't advocate living in a state of perpetual fear, there's something comfort-ing about knowing that a minimum three day supply of water, canned goods, prescribedmedications, and warm blankets are a few of the essentials packed into a preparedness kit.Our city emergency co-ordinator certainly pushes that message and every shaking is areminder that our lack of prairie blizzards doesn't make us immune to treacherous weather.

Trouble is, the message is clear and often sounded but how many bother to heed thewarning. Too many times we do the same with Jesus' call to follow Him. By either deliber-

By Helen WallerYou know the age-old saying. It's been around for years.

You CAN'T teach an old dog new tricks. Well, I beg todiffer. You can and I did. My version is more of a modernday twist on the saying and it goes like this. You can teach an"old grandpa" to text.

Just as those old wise dogs do, he sat back and watched.He has been monitoring the situation for a while now. Sit-ting quietly, watching his grandkids, as young as the age ofthree, do things like play games, listen to music and watchmovies on the computer, iPad and the iPhone. Nothingthat they were doing particularly interested him enough towant the latest technology... but that's when it hit him. Herealized you could check the weather on those devices. (He is

People do weird things in Lent. They stuff themselves at Pancake Suppers before Lentstarts, put a cross with ashes on their foreheadson Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, anddecide what they're giving up for the next 40 weekdays until the Saturday before Easter. Andon Easter Sunday they celebrate His resurrection to life. It all must seem pretty weird tothose who are not Christian, and have no idea what all this is about!

A CBC radio report this week told of folk from Holy Trinity Church, next door todowntown Eaton Centre, out on the busy sidewalks, offering "Ashes for Lent" to peoplewalking by last Ash Wednesday. Church- goers were happy to receive the sign, others totallyconfused by what was being offered, rushed on by. But some wanted both ashes and expla-nation that they remind us of our mortality-that we are but dust and to dust we will return,but that there is hope beyond our physical mortality.

Lent is preparation time, as we look towards Easter, the most important day of theChristian's year. Easter is the oldest celebration of the church. Every Sunday is a little Easter,when we celebrate Jesus' resurrection. Lent, then is the 40 days, not counting the 6 Sundays,from Ash Wednesday to the Satur- day before Easter. "Lent" comes from the word "Lengthen"because, in this part of the world, Lent occurs when days are lengthening after the short,dark days of winter.

For at least the first two centuries, the focus was on Easter Day, and Lent was not cel-ebrated. Nor, did they did not celebrate Good Friday as we do today. Christians met forworship on Saturday at 6PM and continued fasting, praying & meditating throughout thenight until about 3AM on Sunday, when they celebrated Holy Communion. Later, fastingwas extended to include Friday, 40 hours in which to remem-ber the time Jesus' body hadlain in the tomb. Later still, fasting was extended to include all of Holy week. It wasn't untilthe year 600 that the fast became 40 days prior to Easter, not including Sundays. It was atime to remember Jesus' 40 days spent in the wilderness preparing for his public ministry.Lent was the final preparation time for those seeking church membership by baptism atEaster. Soon other church members began to undertake 40 days of penitence and fastingwhile they reflected upon their own baptismal vows. Lent was and is a time of preparing ourhearts to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ anew.

From this noble purpose, what has Lent become? A time when for giving up some veryperipheral things -- chocolates, or cookies. Or maybe we don't talk about giving up anythingany more. What should Lent be to us today?--- It should be a time when we do seriousbusiness with the things which get between us and our God--- time for serious wrestling withthe powers which either do or want to control us.Welcome to Lent!

You CAN teach an "old dog" new tricks

a farmer. I will say no more.)No longer would he have to wait for the lunch hour news or the hourly updates on the

radio. Twenty-four hours a day, he could have access to information that he wanted at hisfingertips. He was a little hesitant about braving this new technology. I mean, this man hasseen a lot in his lifetime. He literally walked to school (ironically enough as I write this articleI text him to confirm that information and it was two miles, indeed). He also texted me backa few minutes later to let me know that he rode a bike and a horse also. (Looks like he iscatching on to this texting thing). There were only two things this "old grandpa" needed. Tofetch a willingness to try and an iphone. So, we headed to the local Sasktel dealer and gothim all geared up. He left there with a phone, case and a look of fear in his eyes. (Remindedme of the look on my puppy’s face when a new dog enters the park).

Upon arrival of the newest addition to the family, excitement was in the air. Everyone hadopinions, suggestions and ideas of what best to do with Grandpa’s new baby, his iPhone. Idecided that it was best to take it one step at a time. The two first steps were to learn how toanswer/make a call and to learn how to send/receive a text message. To everyone’s surprise,he caught on a lot quicker than we expected. It was entertaining to see the looks on thegrandkid’s faces as their Grandpa learned something new. (I imagine it is the same forGrandparents and vice versa). So it seems as though the age-old saying simply isn't relevantin this case. The "old grandpa" has learned to text, and that is just the beginning. I am notsure what can of worms we opened because the other morning the "old dog" showed up atour breakfast table unsure of what to do with the money he had earned in the pool gamethe kids had taught him to play online. The children showed him how to spend his collec-tion of coins in the game and I had to laugh. You really are never to old to learn new tricks.Anyone can do anything if they really want to. All you need is a desire to do so, and adaughter-in-law willing to teach you.

Letter to the EditorThoughts on the McLeod Basketball series

I attended the 1st twogames in Weyburn at theCugnet Centre. I asked ifthere was a program. Twoyoung ladies at the door re-plied no. I asked if it waspossible to find a piece ofpaper and write downnames and numbers ofWeyburn. She said yes and Iwouldn't have to come backto the door, she would findme, which she did. Manythanks. Between games, I in-quired of a parent and a fac-ulty member when we couldexpect the Eagle logo, etc. tobe put on the walls as in theold gym. Reply was wouldn'thappen as it was a conven-tion centre. Weyburn wonboth games. Fast forward toWed., Feb. 11. Travelled toEstevan for the completionof the series.

Upon entering the Estevangym, I was greeted by two stu-dents. One handed out aprogram. Outside coverMcLeod Series Final Round2015. Inside two pages con-tained team rosters, num-bers, grades and heights. Lastpage contained info onMcLeod series 80 yrs. old,etc. With credit going toBob King. (Our Bob King)Last portion of the pagethanked all those involved inthe tourney. The ticket re-ceived at the door went intoa draw. Approx. 15-20

draws throughout theevening. Grand Prize MP3player other prizes waterbottles, Tim's cards, etc. Thegames were covered by Ac-cess 7. All baskets announcedover loud speaker.

The Estevan Comp bandwas present in the stands,right behind the Weyburnbench. They not only enter-tained at ½ time and be-tween games but every timeWeyburn took a time out.Advantage Estevan. TheEstevan cheerleaders werepresent to entertain. I asked

a Weyburn student whyWeyburn had no cheerlead-ers in Weyburn or Estevan.I was told the WeyburnCheerleaders only enter-tained at football games.

The reason for writing thisletter is to give Estevan fullmarks for a job well done.To Weyburn, if we want tohave a 1st class organizationand school spirit, we hadbetter take a lesson fromEstevan and pull up our soxfor next year.

Correction noticeIn last week’s edition of Weyburn This Week, it was erroneously reported that

the Weyburn DC Red Wings took the gold medal at a two day home tournamenton February 7 and 8.

The weekend actually consisted of two separate one day tournaments.The correct results are as follows: the Weyburn DC Gold Wings went unde-

feated during the Saturday tournament, defeating the Estevan Stars 4-3, the EstevanLeafs 4-3 and the Weyburn DC Whalers 5-3. The DC Red Wings played in thesecond tournament, held Sunday, and took the A final.

Weyburn This Week apologizes to the members of the DC Gold Wings andtheir fans for this error.

Watching it slideThursday nights are open league nights atthe Weyburn Curling Club. These curlersenjoyed a night of fun and companionshipwhile participating in one of Canada’sfavourite winter sports.
