Library branches to receive Internet speed upgrades

The Ministry of Education is working closely with SaskTel to upgrade internet bandwidth in rural public libraries across Saskatchewan.

Over the summer, nearly 200 rural public libraries with existing CommunityNet (CNet) fibre networks will be upgraded to a minimum speed of 50 megabits per second (Mbps). These increased speeds will improve the library experience by providing faster access to online tools and research.

Currently, there are 160 public libraries outside Saskatchewan’s urban centres with 10Mbps fibre CNet connections and 36 public libraries with 25Mbps.

In the Southeast Regional Library system, 25 branches will receive upgrades to their internet service. Upgrades began July 19. The following branches are currently operating on 10-25 Mbps, but by the end of July all Southeast branches will be operating at a minimum of 50Mbps.

The branches include Sedley, Ogema, Pangman, Yellow Grass, Radville,

Lake Alma, Milestone, Wawota, Whitewood, Montmartre, Qu’Appelle, B e n g o u g h , Vi b a n k , Windthorst, Bienfait, Grenfell, Lumsden, Manor, Balgonie, Indian Head, Regina Beach, Carlyle, Kipling, Oxbow and Redvers.

“Libraries are an important foundational component of our education sector,” Education Minister Jeremy Cockrill said. “The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to better this service as it will enhance reading, writing, research and learning opportunities within libraries and help people and communities meet their online information needs.”

CNet is a private network connecting all educational organizations and libraries in a single, provincial network. Through a joint effort between SaskTel and the Ministry of Education, these upgrades are being completed within the existing CNet contract. This network is safe and secure and adds access to multiple provincial and international research and education networks.

The Weyburn Leisure Centre’s outdoor pool was a busy place on Friday afternoon as the mercury heated up to 34 degrees with humidity. The pool, along with the splash parks in Weyburn, will continue to be well-used as the forecast is for temperatures up to 37 degrees this week.

Former officer, trustee to run for city council

Dana Pretzer, a longtime former police officer and a former trustee of the Southeast Cornerstone School Division, announced he will be putting his name in to run for Weyburn city council.

“I have spent all my adult life serving the residents of Weyburn as a police officer, community activist, school trustee and board member for many non-profits in the City.

Making Weyburn my home was a perfect place to raise

my family and I love living in the community I call home,” said Pretzer in a statement on Tuesday.

“I believe city councillors represent the electors and residents of the city, and do their best to be a voice of the people,” he added, noting he believes in giving praise where deserved and voice concerns when that needs to be done.

He has a five-point plan, and encourages anyone in the community who wishes to comment, to provide

suggestions and or concerns.

His plan is as follows: 1. Keep the tax base reasonable but not ignoring City department budget concerns, not ignoring infrastructure and roads.

Why wait so long to fix then have a big bill?

2. Safety of the community, supporting protective services provided by the police, fire department and EMS. 3. Attracting and supporting business in the community. A downtown revitalization plan is very important, promoting all of our local and area industries.

4. Attracting doctors and medical professionals to the City, and supporting the Weyburn and District Hospital Foundation.

5. Supporting leisure and art services, calling for a review on fees and accessibility.

“I believe Weyburn is

the best community to live in Saskatchewan, and I’d love to keep serving the people,” said Pretzer.

Clay instructor Regan Lanning reached over to show Alexis Jack on the right what she should do with her mug, as Mayna Patel at left worked on her own project. This was part of the mixed art classes running through the summer, organized by the Mental Health Capacity Building program at the Weyburn Comp.

New Weyburn After School program to launch in September Big Brothers Big Sisters of Weyburn, along with the City of Weyburn, announced their new After School program at the Credit Union Spark Centre, will be open for regis-

trations in August for the 2024-25 school year.

Mentoring is a specialty of the Big Bros. organization, so mentoring will be embedded into all aspects of the program, includ-

Signs have been posted around swimming areas at Nickle Lake Regional Park after some cases of “swimmer’s itch” were reported there on Sunday.

The itch is caused by bacteria from tiny parasites in the water that can cause a rash on the swimmer.

The advisory signs ask swimmers to be cautious and to wash after swimming, and to stay away from any weeds or algae in the water.

The park manager said there were no reports of

this on Saturday, but the reports came up on Sunday, and public health just advised for the park to post signs for the public.

The reports seem to come up when water is calm and not flowing, and reports indicate this is common at this time of year to many water bodies located around the province.

One suggestion for swimmers is to use waterproof sunscreen before going into the water, and it may help prevent the “itch” from afflicting the swimmer.

Nickle Lake has cases of ‘swimmers’ itch’

ing staff training, program development and implementation, and ongoing relationship development with the participants.

The program is committed to responding to the continuing changes in the community of Weyburn, and meeting the needs of children and their families.

The aim of the After School program is to provide quality child care and programming based on explorative, active and creative play in order to stimulate children’s ability to grow socially, physically, intellectually and emotionally.

The program will provide a safe and nurturing space for children to make friends, develop respect

for themselves and their peers, and to grow socially, cognitively, creatively and physically.

“We are very happy to utilize the Credit Union Spark Centre for the Big Brothers Big Sisters After School program,” said Andrew Crowe, leisure director for the City of Weyburn.

“It is a fantastic facility that will greatly benefit the community by providing a safe and engaging environment for our children to learn and grow. This partnership aligns perfectly with the City’s mission of ‘Growing through opportunity’,” he added.

Registration will open in August, and will be available for up to 30 children in Grades 1-6. The hours

of the program will be from 3:35 to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday, and transportation will not be offered in the pilot year.

The program will not run on statutory holidays or on Professional Development days, teacher training days, winter break, spring break, or during the summer holidays, however, families will be given priority to register for City programming during those times.

“The results from our recent survey were clear: after school programming is needed in Weyburn.

We are excited to work with the City of Weyburn to offer the Big Brothers Big Sisters After School program out of the Credit

Union Spark Centre for the 2024-25 school year,” said Dominika Krzeminska, executive director of Big Brothers Big Sisters Weyburn.

“As a mentoring organization, we understand the importance of positive role models in the lives of our young people, and we look forward to bringing a mentoring approach to this program,” she added.

Additional information, including costs, and the registration launch date, will be available in the coming weeks. Watch the Big Brothers Big Sisters social channels (@bbbsweyburn) and the website (www.bbbsweyburn.ca/ after-school-program/) for additional details.

FIND TIME FOR A SELF-CARE DAY Sabrina Kraft skraft@glaciermedia.ca As self-care has become more mainstream, the focus has turned to become more about general wellbeing and tuning in to one’s needs and meeting those needs. Recently, International Self-Care Day was observed on July 24, which also marked the end of Self-Care Month.

There are seven pillars of self-care: health literacy, self awareness, physical activity, healthy eating, risk avoidance, good hygiene and the optimal use of products and services.

It is the little things that we do day after day, by making good decisions to look after our health, and by taking time to learn about improving other factors of our life.

Self-care is about empowering people to be active agents in their own health care. Doing so not only puts people at the centre of their own health care, but also relieves pressures on health systems. One should always try to be more proactive in listening to your body for warning signs of more serious physical issues.

There are many simple steps in ensuring you have proper physical self-care, which includes how you are fueling your body, how much sleep you are getting, and how much physical activity you are doing. Physical self-care also includes taking medication as prescribed, managing your health, and scheduling appointments with your doctor, your dentist, and your optometrist.

Socialization is also key to self- care. Often, it can make time for your friends or your close relationships, especially when life gets busy. Humans are social creatures, and building close connections is important to your mental health. The best way to cultivate and maintain close

relationship is to put time and energy into attending social events, and building your relationships with others.

Mental self-care can include doing things that keep your mind sharp, like reading books, and learning about a subject that fascinates you. I have always been fond of doing puzzles and playing cards, and even have downloaded some appropriate Apps onto my phone that have now become part of my daily schedule.

One should always find time to reflect and complete an inner dialogue, to check in on your own emotions and stressors, and to see what healthy coping skills you need to establish into your life. Mental self-care goes hand-in-hand with emotional self-care, which includes taking the time to acknowledge and express your feelings on a regular basis.

Part of emotional self-care is also linked to socialization, as it is important to have someone in your life to talk too, and to be there for them in return. It is also important to set aside time for leisure activities that help you process your emotions, or give you a little recharge to your life.

Even small changes to your routine can improve your self-care practice and overall mood. Sometimes it can be trying a new food, and then adding it to your meal plan.

This could also include finding a new book series you want to read, or just resting and listening to a music playlist.

Self-care can also include a reflection of your social circles, and take a step back away from gossipers who enjoy spreading rumors. Remember the famous Dr. Seuss saying that ‘people that mind don’t matter, and the people that matter don’t mind’.

Everyone should feel comfortable in taking a self-care day, when they need it.

Manage the fear of getting older

By Stan Popovich Some people worry about their health and other aspects of their life as they age.

Not knowing what might happen as you get older can be very scary for many people.

As a result, here are some tips on how to manage the fear and anxiety of getting older in your life.

1. Stay healthy: The first step in not getting anxious as you get older is to get some exercise and eat a lot of healthy foods. It is important to be active and watch what you eat. Before exercising, you should talk to your doctor to make sure you do not hurt yourself.

2. Go to your doctor appointments: Make sure you go to your regular doctor appointments to make sure that nothing is wrong with you and your health. A lot of things can be prevented if you get an early diagnosis. This will help you to remain healthy without the fear of old age.

3. Keep your mind active: Another way of not getting stressed out as you age is to keep your mind active. Do some crossword puzzles or other challenging games. Play some chess or some game that requires a lot of thinking. The more you use your mind the better off you will be as you get older.

4. Reduce your stress: Learn effective ways to reduce the stress in your life. Stress is not good for you and it is important to

know how to relieve your tension. There are counsellors that you can talk to if you have trouble dealing with your anxieties.

5. Stay positive: Remain positive and avoid negative thinking. Read some selfhelp books that have a lot of positive affirmations and statements. Reading these statements can help you to remain positive and replace negative thoughts. If you still have trouble, then see a counsellor who can teach you different ways to remain positive and help reduce your worry and stress.

6. Spend time with friends: Develop a network of friends and get involved in different social activities. Friends can reduce loneliness and make you feel better about yourself. A person can also volunteer their time to help others. There are many people who need help and volunteering will keep you active.

7. You are in God’s hands: Sooner or later, something will happen related to your health so it is a good idea to include God in your life. If you get diagnosed with some kind of illness such as cancer, prayer will help you manage your fears and anxieties. Regardless of what you are dealing with, including God in your life will help you gain a more spiritual approach to your health issues.

Hank Robertson

July 16, 2024 With heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of Ronald Harry “Hank”Robertson at the Weyburn General Hospital on July 16 at the age of 74 after a long battle with cancer. He is survived by his sister Bonnie Robertson, brother Jim Robertson, niece Donni Marano and nephews Rob Davy, Bill and Ryan Robertson and several great nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, Ronald and Ida Robertson, his oldest two sisters Patricia Robertson and Betty Roth (Jack), his nephew Rick Roth and his niece Dionne Robertson.

Hank was born in Manitoba, but the family later moved to Alberta, where Hank’s first job was gas jockey and tow truck driver in Red Deer. In 1970, he enrolled at an oilwell training in Edmonton and first oil rig job was in Abu Dhabi as a roughneck.

He would later work in Libya, Spain, Australia, and Oklahoma and of course in Alberta in various rig positions. He went on to work springs and summers [downtime in the oilfield] for his brother-in-law’s two sons, John and Curtis Roth, at their Radiography Testing companies where he maintained their trucks and darkrooms and enjoyed working for both brothers.

After a short retirement he worked as a boilerman on Alberta rigs, enjoying the solitude. His ultimate retirement years were spent at his peaceful property in Griffin, SK surrounded by amazing friends and neighbours who were there for him when he needed. Hank was a generous soul, always happy to help those around him. He loved kids, though never had any of his own. He was beloved Uncle Hank not only for his own nieces and nephews but for those of his friends. As per his wishes, there will be no services. Arrangements are entrusted to RD Family Funeral Chapel & Crematorium, Weyburn, SK, (848-0333 ~ 1-888-848-0333).

The 15U Weyburn Beavers AA Tier 2 team won the provincial championship for their division over the weekend.

The first game of their tournament was against the Macklin Lakers, which they won 14-13; the second game, against the Saskatoon Aces, was a 14-1 victory, and the third game was against the Lumsden Cubs, who handed them their first loss by the score of 22-8.

In the semi-final against the Moose Jaw Canucks, Weyburn won 13-2, and the final pitted them against the Saskatoon Blue Jays, and the Beavers won 12-1.

“The team pitched great and played solid defence all weekend, and our bats were on fire with the whole lineup contributing offensively,” said coach Tyson Balog.

Meantime, the 13U AAA Weyburn Beavers battled hard over the weekend during league playoffs and came away as the Baseball Regina RBI 13U AAA league champions.

After falling 6-4 to the first place Regina White Sox Friday night, the seventh place Weyburn Beavers beat the Estevan Brewers 5-1 on Saturday.

The Beavers only let in seven runs in round robin play, giving them the fourth place spot going into the semifinals Sunday morning, where they beat the Moose Jaw Canucks 14-1.

The Beavers came up against the Regina Wolfpack in the final game Sunday afternoon, coming out on top with an 11-9 win.

The Beavers will now head into the 13U AAA Tier 2 provincials this weekend in Lumsden.
