Southeast College funded $1.7M for ECE programs

Taking aim at the target

Mirabelle Leroux took careful aim with her arrow under the guidance of Kelly Kozij of the Weyburn Wildlife Federation, at an outdoor archery range. It was set up as part of the Family Fun Day last Saturday at the WWF’s clubhouse and grounds at the former South Weyburn school south of the city.

Three Weyburn soccer stars invited to train at Real Madrid Academy In a remarkable achievement for local sports, three talented youth soccer players from the Weyburn Soccer Association have earned an invitation to train at the prestigious Real Madrid Academy in Spain. This opportunity places these young athletes in the company of some of the world’s most promising soccer talent and is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and the quality of training provided by the Weyburn Soccer Club.

The three players— Ranson Jordens, Lexington Roy and Ethan Thiedig— will spend a week at the Real Madrid Academy, known globally for developing top-tier soccer talent. During this intensive training program, they will receive world-class coaching, hone their skills, and experience firsthand what it takes to compete at the highest levels of soccer.

This is not only a dream come true for these young

athletes but also a significant milestone for the Weyburn Soccer Association and the broader Weyburn community. The boys were inspired to pursue this opportunity after Weyburn’s Gabriella Friesen made the trip earlier this year.

The club, which has been a cornerstone of youth sports in Weyburn, is immensely proud of its players’ accomplishments.

Having three players from Weyburn recognized on such a prestigious platform is a clear indication of the club’s commitment to nurturing local talent and fostering a passion for soccer within the community.

“We are beyond excited and proud of our players,” said Jason Roy, President of Weyburn Soccer Association. “This opportunity not only showcases the talent we have here in Weyburn but also puts our club on the map. It’s a great moment for soccer in our city, and we’re eager to see how

this experience will inspire other young athletes in our community.”

The three boys recently attended the Real Madrid soccer camp in Edmonton this summer where they earned their invitation to train in Spain.

While the invitation itself is an honor, the costs associated with attending the Real Madrid Academy are significant. Travel, accommodation, and participation fees add up quickly, and the families of these players are seeking community support to make this dream a reality.

The total cost for the three players and chaperones to attend the camp is estimated at $30,000.

The “Road to Real Madrid” players are calling on local businesses and community members to help fund this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. By donating, companies will not only be supporting these young athletes but also investing in the future of Weyburn

soccer. Contributions will help alleviate the financial burden on the families and ensure that these players can focus on making the most of their time in Spain.

Supporting these players goes beyond helping three kids fulfill a dream.

It also sends a strong message about the value Weyburn places on youth sports and the importance of community in helping local talent thrive.

Local businesses that contribute will not only aid these young athletes but will also gain positive visibility and demonstrate their commitment to supporting local sports. Donations can be made directly by contacting Rob Jordens at (306) 891-5146, emailing road.realmadrid@ gmail.com or visiting “Road to Real Madrid” page on Facebook. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings these players one step closer to the international stage.

Southeast College announced the receipt of $1.68 million in funding for the 2024-2026 period to support their Early Childhood Education (ECE) programs.

This funding will benefit full-time and part-time ECE programs across the Estevan, Kahkewistahaw First Nation, and Cowessess First Nation campuses (fulltime), as well as the Weyburn, Indian Head, Moosomin and Assiniboia campuses (part-time).

The programs will offer training at Levels I, II, and III, entirely cost-free to domestic students, covering tuition, books, and materials. The objective of this funding is to enhance the certification levels of early childhood educators in Saskatchewan.

For Southeast College, this means up to 211 students can receive free training, significantly contributing to the development of qualified ECE professionals in the province.

Jody Holzmiller, Interim President and CEO, expressed her excitement about the funding approval: “The two-year funding agreement is greatly appreciated. Having a twoyear agreement in place will allow students to enroll tuition-free while obtaining their diploma. This funding, in addition to the delivery model Southeast has implemented, which allows students to remain employed during their schooling, is a win-win situation for students and Early Learning Centres in the southeast region.”

Providing free access

to this type of training is crucial for many reasons.

It reduces financial barriers for students, allowing them to pursue their education without the burden of tuition costs.

This initiative also helps to address the shortage of qualified early childhood educators by making it easier for individuals to enter and advance in this vital field. Holzmiller highlighted the importance of this funding: “This significant investment not only strengthens our commitment to early education but also underscores our dedication to the families and labor force of the southeast region of Saskatchewan.

It represents a crucial step towards enhancing the quality of early childhood education and ensuring that our communities have access to well-trained professionals.”

This initiative is part of a broader $1.1 billion investment under the Canada-Saskatchewan Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement for 2021-22 to 2025-26.

The federal government and the province have committed to increasing the number of regulated childcare spaces by 28,000 and providing $10 per day regulated childcare spaces to families.

This funding is provided by the Ministry of Education of Saskatchewan and falls under the quality pillar of the agreement, aimed at recruiting and retaining qualified Early Child Care employees to support developmentally appropriate programming in regulated childcare facilities.

Reps of area charities take in 2024 Friendraiser event

The South Saskatchewan Community Foundation held its second annual Friendraiser event on Aug. 22 in Regina, with over 400 attendees, including charity members, donors, patrons, businesses, leaders, change-makers, etc.

The Friendraiser is a platform for charitable organizations to connect with community members to raise awareness of their missions, share impact stories, and build relationships.

Local charities celebrated each other’s inspiring work and dedication, and donors, patrons, businesses and other guests learned about the impact of their contributions.

Weyburn area charities which had representatives at the event included Envision Counselling, the Weyburn and District Hospital Foundation, the Canadian Mental Health Association (Weyburn branch) and Inclusion

Weyburn.

With the Friendraiser, the Community Foundation aims to create a bridge between community members and the charitable sector to maximize their impact throughout Saskatchewan.

“The Friendraiser is a significant opportunity to bring the community together, empower changemakers, and present the impact of Saskatchewan’s charitable sector to connect and inspire collaboration among community members,” said Donna Ziegler, executive director of the Community Foundation.

Over its 55 years of service, the Community Foundation has served over 480 communities across Saskatchewan, and has granted to hundreds of charities. The foundation has granted nearly $70 million to Saskatchewan charities through its donors’ commitments.

Motorists, parents need to keep school zones safe A new school year is upon us and soon school zones will be busy. It is an exciting time for students but unfortunately, congested school zones can be dangerous.

According to the latest CAA survey, speeding and distracted driving are the top two hazardous behaviours performed by motorists. The report also points out, students often jaywalk and fail to look both ways before crossing the street.

So, before that first school bell rings, let’s look at how we can make school zones safe for everyone.

Motorists need to stay

alert and obey traffic laws.

Do not drive distracted and avoid texting, eating, and drinking while driving.

School zones are designed as safe areas for children travelling to and from school each day. You can do your part to help keep students safe by knowing the signs and rules for driving in school zones.

Students and Parents have an important role to play when it comes to safety in school zones. Parents, remember you are role models. Start the school year off right by being prepared.

CAA School Zone Safety Reminders: • Be Ready – Do as much as you can the night before (prepare backpacks and pack lunches), so you feel organized and have more time in the morning.

• Make a Plan – Decide the route you will take to and from school (what streets will you travel, what landmarks are nearby, and who will you travel with).

Consider carpooling or parking a block away then walk with your child to ease drop-off and pick-up traffic.

• Be Alert – STOP,

THINK, LOOK, and LISTEN before crossing streets and watch for approaching vehicles. Make eye contact with drivers before you cross the street to ensure they see you.

• Know the Rules of the Road – Use designated drop-off zones (ask your school administration) and obey speed limits and other school zone signs.

• Learn Crosswalk Safety Rules – Always use crosswalks to cross the street – never jaywalk. Dismount and walk bikes and scooters across the street.

BACK TO SCHOOL - FOR ANOTHER YEAR

Sabrina Kraft skraft@glaciermedia.ca Teachers, students and staff return to school on September 3. There will be 184 days of in-class instruction for students from Grades K to 12 in the upcoming school year, according to 2024-2025 school calender for Southeast Cornerstone Public School Division and the Holy Family Roman Catholic School Division.

School zones will be especially busy before and after school, and during the lunch hour, so drivers are reminded to slow down and watch for pedestrians. Always be respectful of school crossing guards, and remind students to use a crosswalk when required. It is always dangerous to jaywalk in school zones, especially when you are darting out between cars. The seconds you think you are saving to get your child to school could end up in injury, or worse, lost of life.

Also avoid parking in bus or fire zones that are situated at every school entrance. Every year there seems to be an issue at the Weyburn Comp, for example, with cars lined up at the front entrance to pick up students. This area is considered a fire zone, and no cars should be idling there, even for a quick pick up. Instead, find suitable parking on the street, and have your child walk to your car - as it is safer for everyone.

Many families have already completed their yearly shopping for back-to-school supplies. Due

to inflation, this can be a tough adjustment in any families’ budget. Families are now paying more for some key back-to-school essentials. According to a recent survey, nearly 31 per cent of back-toschool shoppers said that buying supplies for the new year will put them into debt.

There are many back-to-school tips to be prepared for the new school year. It is always a good idea to help your child adjust to earlier bedtimes a week or two before the new school year starts, just to help them ease into new routines.

If your child is starting at a new school, practice walking or driving to the bus stop or to the school building a week or two before school starts. You could even play in the school playground before school starts. This creates fun memories associated with the school before summer vacation ends.

Another good idea is to develop a schedule for your family, that works for everyone. Keeping a calendar is a great way of tracking important school assignments, extracurricular, work responsibilities, and social commitments, too.

New this year, the Saskatchewan government says it is introducing measures to ban cellphone use in schools during class time beginning in the 202425 school year. This will take time and adjustment for teachers, staff and students. It will be in the best interest for students to leave their mobile phones at home, instead of taking them to school.

The fear and anxiety 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 six 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 counselors 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 counselor 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.

how the cellphone ban might more of a stepback, instead of planning ahead and including curriculum revolved around the respect for technology. In my opinion, it would be much better if our youth were taught how to use their mobile phones properly, and with respect to their social surroundings.

There are so many students who are not warned of the dangers of some Apps, or of posting on social media. There is a lot of online bullying too, that is hard to track, and very difficult to report. It would be better for our province to include instruction in the classroom on using cellphones, and how to avoid the dangers of the online world.

In a way, when you think of it, a cellphone is more than just a phone for our youth. It is their calculator. It is their dictionary and grammar editor, and it can also be used for research (as long as you are not just reliant on Google). There are many youth who depend on their cellphone to read news articles and stay up-to-date on current events too.

It will also be an interesting year, as school board elections will be held this fall, along with the municipal elections. While they work behindthe-scenes a lot, school board trustees are still an important part of our education system. The results of the provincial election, also this fall, might also change the Minister of Education for the province.

We have to remember to work together to create a positive education environment for your youth, and make their future bright.

Many enjoy first-ever Festival of music, food hosted in Fillmore

The first-ever Festival in the Park was held in Fillmore held last Thursday afternoon and evening, featuring live entertainment, children’s activities, a popup farmers market, and food.

The festival was at Lanny B Park, which was established, developed and maintained by Fillmore resi-

dent LaVaughn Duxbury on three lots she owns on McCullough Street, one block off Main Street.

The park is named after a grandson who now lives in Drayton Valley, Alta., and it took LaVaughn 18 years to develop it to where it is now. She and husband Ralph designed the park’s layout, and planted trees,

shrubs and flowers over the years, including developing a semi-enclosed area with a fish pond and grape vines (which produce grapes).

She’s had help with some of the items along the way, including flower boxes along the street near the entrance, donated to her by Clyde Hall from the foundry he had for making custom

parts for his antique tractors.

A few vendors were on hand for the pop-up market, including two farm families from the Tyvan area, with pies, seeds, flowers, canned vegetables and hand-drawn cards made by the children.

They included from the Kyle family, Macie, who made pies; Kipton, who pickled beans, carrots and

made tea, and Tanner, who made the hand-drawn cards.

From the Buckingham family, Cutler and Colt had pickled carrots and other items for sale along with the Kyle family. The families attend school and skating lessons in Fillmore, and often do business in the town, so they took part in this event as well.

Live entertainment was provided by The Blend, Kylee Glover, the Caragana Ramblers from Forget, and the Mariachi Latino band from Regina.

A silent auction was held to help raise funds to pay for the live entertainment, along with some sponsorships that LaVaughn was able to sign on for the inaugural event.

City of Weyburn reopens First Avenue

Farm families take in Fillmore festival

Two Tyvan area farm families brought home-made items for the popup market held as part of Fillmore’s Festival in the Park last Thursday. From left are Macie, Kipton and Tanner Kyle, and at right are Cutler and Colt Buckingham. The items they made, including pies, preserved vegetables, flowers, hand-drawn cards and tea, were on display for sale at the market, held in Lanny B Park on McCullough Street in Fillmore.

The City of Weyburn reopened First Avenue, which has undergone significant reconstruction work since work began on July 8.

The project was a key initiative to improve the city’s infrastructure, and has been successfully completed. It was opened back to traffic as of late Tuesday afternoon.

Throughout the project, First Avenue was repaved for 13 blocks, from Government east to 13th Street, with a complete rebuild necessary between Fifth and 10th Streets.

The rebuilding helped address underlying structural issues that were critical to ensure the long-term integrity of First Avenue.

Originally, the project was scheduled to be completed in 60 days, but with the concerted efforts of the construction teams and

favourable weather conditions, the road was reopened in advance of that time line.

“We are very excited with the outcome of this project,” said Renee Cugnet, director of engineering for the City of Weyburn.

“The reconstruction of First Avenue was essential to maintaining the integrity and efficiency of our major roadways. I want to thank our Public Works teams, the contractors and the community for their cooperation and support throughout the process,” she said.

The City also thanked the residents and businesses for their patience throughout the construction period. The completed work on First Avenue represents a significant improvement in the city’s road network.

stress and procrastination.

How to use colour coding Here are some ways to use colour coding in your studies: • Assign specific colours to each subject in notebooks, folders or planners. Try blue for math, red for science and green for English.

• Use highlighters to mark important concepts, dates or words. For instance, yellow for definitions, pink for dates and orange for key concepts.

• Assign colours to events on your calendar or planner. For example, use blue for exams, green for assignments and purple for extracurricular activities.

Colour coding is a powerful organizational tool that can help you manage your schoolwork.

Here’s how it can help: • It enhances organization. You can quickly locate and prioritize your assignments, notes and study materials by visually separating different subjects or tasks.

• It increases memory retention. Research suggests that associating information with colour can improve memory retention. When you use colour coding in your notes or study materials, you create visual cues that make it easier to recall important information during exams or class discussions.

• It streamlines workflow. Colour coding can stream­line workflow by categorizing assignments based on urgency or importance, reducing

The most exciting thing about going back to school is seeing all my friends again, playing hockey and going into Grade 5.

Shifting from a relaxed summer sleep schedule to a structured school routine can be challenging for children and parents. Here are some strategies to make the transition smoother: Encourage physical activity Regular exercise can help children fall asleep faster and enjoy deeper sleep. Encourage outdoor play or physical activities during the day, but avoid vigorous exercise close to bedtime.

Gradually adjust bedtime Adjust your child’s bedtime and wake-up times about a week before school starts, shifting them earlier by 15 to 30 minutes each night until you reach the desired schedule.

This gradual transition will help your child’s body adjust to the new routine without feeling too abrupt. Sticking to the same schedule on weekends is essential to maintain a consistent sleep pattern!

Limit screen time before bed Encourage your child to power down electronic devices at least an hour before bedtime to reduce exposure to blue light, which can disrupt sleep patterns. If your child must use electronic devices before bedtime, consider using blue light filters or adjusting the bright-

ness settings to reduce the impact on sleep.

Create a calming bedtime routine Establish a consistent bedtime routine to signal your child that it’s time to wind down and prepare for sleep. This includes activities like reading, bathing or listening to soft music. Try to create a relaxing environment in your child’s bedroom by adjusting the lighting and temperature to promote better sleep.

These tips can help your child ease into a new sleep schedule and start the school year feeling well-rested and ready to learn.

Visitors to Lanny B Park in Fillmore were entertained by Peggy Kosior and Armin Roettger, known as The Blend, at the Festival in the Park on Thursday. The event was organized by Fillmore resident LaVaughn Duxbury, who established and developed the park over the last 18 years, and wanted an event where people could come and enjoy the outdoor setting.

CBSA tips for smooth trip over long weekend The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) reminds travellers that the Labour Day long weekend can be extra busy at the border. It’s the time of year when Canada welcomes many international students, returning residents as well as travellers enjoying the last long weekend of summer.

Every day, the CBSA works hard to protect Canadians, support the economy and ensure the safe and efficient movement of people and goods across our borders. In 2023, we welcomed over 86 million travellers and intercepted more than 72,200 kg of prohibited drugs, cannabis, narcotics, and chemicals, representing an increase of close to 30% from 2022.

The CBSA dedicates significant efforts to planning and preparing for peak periods, including long weekends and summer months. We monitor traveller volumes and plan to minimize border wait

times at land ports of entry and at international airports, without compromising safety and security.

Here are some tips to help you plan for your trip: • Check border wait times and expect delays.

• Early mornings are the best time to cross the border to avoid wait times.

• The Monday of holiday long weekends tend to be the busiest.

• Consider an alternative port of entry with shorter wait times or less traffic.

• Check the port of entry’s hours of operation on the official CBSA Directory of Offices and Services.

• If you are using a GPS application (such as Google Maps, Apple Maps or Waze) to direct you to a port of entry, consider checking different navigation options (such as fastest and shortest routes) to determine the preferred route of travel.

• Have your travel documents handy. This will

speed up processing times at the border.

• Be prepared to declare.

Declare everything you have with you upon entry into Canada. If arriving by land, you are responsible for everything inside your vehicle. If you are the operator of a boat entering Canadian waters with the intent to disembark, you are responsible for reporting your goods on board.

• Travelling with children? When travelling with a child who is not your own or for whom you don’t have full legal custody, we recommend you have a consent letter from the parent or legal guardian authorizing you to travel with the child. We are always watching for missing children, and in the absence of the letter, officers may ask additional questions.

• Tr a v e l l i n g w i t h pets? Pets must meet specific requirements to enter Canada. Review Importing and travelling with pets before leaving.

Will you be going to the U.S. with a dog? As of August 1, 2024, there are updated documentation requirements for all dogs entering the U.S. from Canada. For more information, visit Dogs travelling to the United States.

• Flying into Canada? Use Advance Declaration and make your customs and immigration declaration up to 72 hours in advance of your arrival into Canada at participating airports.

• Entering Canada by boat? You must report to the CBSA without delay.

Review reporting requirements for private boaters before making travel plans.

• Are you towing or transporting a watercraft or any water-related equipment (canoe, paddleboard, etc.) into Canada? If so, these items must be clean, dry, and free of any aquatic invasive plants or species.

STARS, Viterra launches 2025 calendar fundraiser STARS and Viterra publicly launched the 2 0 2 5 S TA R S c a l e n dar marking 40 years of critical care with powerful stories of survival, perseverance, and growth.

Now in its 32nd year, the STARS calendar has become a cherished tradition that showcases the bravery and resilience of STARS medical crew and their Very Important Patients (VIPs).

To celebrate STARS’ 40th anniversary, the 2025 Calendar revisits VIPs and crew members that have been featured in previous editions of the calendar, highlighting where they are now and how their journeys have evolved.

Since Viterra has partnered with STARS, the calendar has raised over $6 million, which has gone towards funding STARS’ missions, acquiring medical equipment and supporting operations.

“More than a funding tool, our calendar helps connect our supporters with our mission — this year’s calendar is a collection of stories that highlight the resilience and strength and incredible journeys of our patients and our team,” said Katherine Emberly, STARS president and CEO. “With Viterra’s continued support, we

have been able to produce and share the calendar and most importantly, continue providing critical care to those who need us.”

Over the years the STARS calendar has become a key fundraising tool, and with the longstanding support from Viterra, STARS has been able to continue its print and distribution. Viterra has been covering the full printing costs of the calendar for 10 consecutive years, representing a total giving of more than $2.5 million in sponsorship and overall support.

“Over the last ten years we’ve been proud partners of STARS, supporting the life-saving work they provide to patients across Western Canada,” said Kyle Jeworski, CEO of Viterra Canada.

The 2025 STARS calendar is now available for purchase at STARS Calendar Campaign, which can be found at https://starscalendar.ca/, with all proceeds going directly to supporting STARS’ operations. New to the calendar this year is the STARS calendar micro site, which houses stories found in the 2025 calendar paired with video interviews with each subject, more in-depth pieces as well as extra pictures.

A group of children played a cornhole game on the front lawn of the Weyburn Public Library, during one of the sessions of the summer reading program. The annual summer program wrapped up for the year, with prizes for children, teens and adults.

Truco Trick Riders win awards at national event Three of the five members of the Truco Trick Riders, based in southeast Saskatchewan, came home with hardware from the year-end competition of the Canadian Trick Riders Association, held Aug. 22-23 in Fort Macleod, Alta.

Bailey Steeves won

three trophies, including as the open division champion, open division most improved, and the open division team of the year with her horse.

Jordanna White was the reserve champion in the open division, and season leader, and her horse, Tiny Toby, won as horse of the

year in the open division.

Shayda King won the trophy as the intermediate division champion.

Group members Charlize Hallberg and Kyla Dyer did not take part in the competition, but were involved in the group’s many appearances over the summer at rodeos all

around Saskatchewan, including locally at the Weyburn Fair and in Midale.

The Truco riders train at the King farm at Corning, and have had guest trainers come in at various times to do workshops with them as they developed their tricks and practiced their routines.

Hunting licenses now available in Saskatchewan Hunting season is nearly here, and it’s time to plan and get ready! There are several things hunters can do to prepare themselves for the upcoming season.

Hunters have a few options to purchase a licence: • Online through the Hunting, Angling and Trapping Licence (HAL) sys-

tem, 24 hours a day.

Visit saskatchewan.ca/ hunting to download a copy of either guide or pick up printed copies at Government of Saskatchewan field offices with front counter

service, select retailers and some provincial parks.
