MEET Ashley Rose!
This fall, our office assistant, Ashley Rose, was away for a while on maternity leave, and we’re so happy to have her back in the office! Though it’s hard to leave her little girl, Khloe, at home, Ashley has brought the same level of passion back to work she’s had since day one. Over the year she’s been with us, Ashley’s role has evolved to suit her skill set. She was originally hired as a receptionist, but her talent and dedication quickly led us to give her more responsibilities. Now, not only does she answer the phone and communicate with clients, but she also assists Blair with cases by scheduling depositions, doing additional research, and ensuring he’s prepared for court. “I was previously a CNA, but when I heard about the job opportunity to work here as the receptionist, I decided I wanted to give it a shot,” Ashley explains. “In the first two weeks, I knew this was
what I wanted to do. I absolutely love this field, and I’m already looking to go back to school to learn more. I know I have a future here for sure!” Ashley loves both the receptionist and legal assistant sides of her job. One of her favorite duties is working one-on- one with our clients, but she also enjoys helping out the office attorneys and soaking up new skills. Outside the office, Ashley and her husband, Xavier, spend nearly all of their time with their baby girl, discovering how to be first-time parents. When Khloe is a bit older, Ashley hopes to get back to her favorite hobby: hitting the gym. Ashley, from all of us here at Goldberg & Weigand, thank you for all you do! “They teach me more and more!” she says.

Team took their final shot in a world championship match against Sweden. The rock ultimately failed to reach the rings, crowning Sweden as world champions and snapping the 10-0 record Harvey Mazinke had built during a week of competition. But regardless of that final score, Harvey Mazinke’s impact on the sport was not diminished. The team was crowned the Canadian Men’s Curling Champions in 1973, and the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame recognizes them as “ambassadors to the game.” JOYCE MCKEE CURLING TEAM Without Joyce McKee, Sylvia Fedoruk, Donna Belding, and Muriel Coben, the Canadian Ladies Curling Association Championship, now called the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, would have never become the nationally recognized organization it is today. The aforementioned women were part of the Joyce McKee rink and were the first winners of the championship in 1960. Their style, play, and knowledge propelled women’s curling into the leagues of men’s competitions, proving that women could compete at just as high of a level as their male peers. To this day, the Joyce McKee rink’s accuracy is unparalleled.

CURLING ATHLETES EVERY FAN SHOULD KNOW
Every four years, as some of the world’s best Olympic athletes battle for gold medals, the world falls in love with curling. Curling originated in 16th-century Scotland and is most popular in Canada, where many Scots immigrated. Now, 480 years after the first recorded instance of curling occurred on a frozen pond in Scotland, many devotees have left their mark on the sport’s history. These are just a few of the greats. ROY THIESSEN Choosing only one devoted coach to highlight is difficult, but it must be Roy Thiessen. Roy coached championship teams — or rinks, as they are called in curling — at both provincial and national levels. His expertise led him to chair the first Saskatchewan Summer Games in 1972, the World Junior Men’s Curling Championships in 1979, and the World Ladies’ Curling Championships in 1983. Budding athletes can learn all of Roy’s secrets and the fundamentals of curling in the numerous books he wrote.
