The Weyburn and Area Heritage Village will come alive with history and family fun during Heritage Village Days on Aug. 8-9 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The annual event is a celebration of prairie life, featuring live music, historical demonstrations, and activities for all ages.

“It’s mostly pioneer life and Weyburn history,” said Paige Tenbult, communications coordinator for the City of Weyburn. “It’s a hands on celebration of prairie life, fun for all ages.”

Attendees can enjoy performances by Eli Barsi, a poet, painter and singer from Kennedy, De Trickey Feet Dance Studio, Marley’s Dance Studio, Kelly Gill and the Hired Guns, and Lachlan Neville, a songwriter and performer from Rocanville. Kids can participate in the Fun in the Sun Mobile Play Park, a scavenger hunt, and face painting courtesy of the Weyburn

Arts Council.

Visitors will step back in time with interactive demonstrations, including rope making, blacksmithing, butter churning, and bread making in an outdoor oven. Additional highlights include fire truck rides, a steam engine display, and a printing press demonstration.

The event stays true to its roots, mirroring past events with its focus on pioneer life and Weyburn’s rich history. While the Wheat Festival, which once included Heritage Village activities, is no longer held, the City of Weyburn and the Heritage Village volunteer board continue the tradition with this engaging community gathering.

SaskMusic sponsors live performances and door prizes are provided by Prairie Sky Co-op and Higher Conscious Connections.

Heritage Days boosts the local economy, said Tenbult.

“It attracts both residents and visitors to our

community, encouraging them to explore not only the Heritage Village but also nearby businesses, restaurants, and accommodations. The event creates opportunities for local performers to showcase their talents. By celebrating our local history in such an engaging way, we strengthen community pride and support the broader goal of positioning Weyburn as a vibrant destination for cultural tourism.”

Heritage Days kicks off on Aug. 8 with opening ceremonies starting at 11 a.m. Sheep herder Russell Roome will be on hand to do a demonstration. Admission is free, though a bake sale, barbecue, and concessions will be available for purchase.

Parking is accessible in front of the Heritage gate off 10th Street and while the grounds are wheel-chair friendly, some vintage buildings may pose accessibility challenges due to their historic design.

SPECIAL OLYMPICS ‘TRY IT DAY’ EVENT

Sara Parks SaskToday.ca

Special Olympics Saskatchewan is bringing its Active Start and FUNdamentals programs to Weyburn with a free “Try it Day” on Aug. 9 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the River Park Spray Pad.

The event aims to introduce young athletes with intellectual disabilities to foundational sports skills in a fun, inclusive environment.

Tara Meier, youth and health co-ordinator for Special Olympics Saskatchewan, said that Active Start (ages 2-6) focuses on basic skills that are needed to play certain sports such as throwing, catching, kicking, and jumping, while FUNdamentals (ages 7-12) builds on those skills by introducing structured sports play.

“The main objectives are to create a love for sport at a young age to help create a life-long passion for sport,” said Meier.

The event will feature multiple activity stations where children can practice different skills at their own pace. Meier said that the program is fully adaptable to meet each child’s need.

“By giving a variety of options and no set rules for example if a child (athlete) has any sensory issues we can work with them to find equipment that they feel comfortable using. Being flexible, not having a one size fits all mentality.”

Special Olympics seeks volunteers

Weyburn is new to the Active Start and FUNda mentals programs, but after two volunteers completed

the Coaching Young Athletes training this spring, organiz ers hope to launch a full pro gram in 2025.

Sunday, August 10th Come & Go Tea 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.

Please join us to celebrate JEAN WAGNER’S 90th Birthday.

“This event is to help see the interest in a program such as Active Start and FUNdamentals to add to our many other Special Olympic Weyburn Programs,” said Meier.

Special Olympics Weyburn relies heavily on volunteers to run its programs, from coaching to event planning and fundraising.

“Our volunteers play vital role in making sure all our programs are set up and coached properly,” said Meier. “There is also a lot of behind the scenes work that goes into having a Special Olympics Weyburn Chapter from registrations, fundraising too hosting events.”

The organization also recently partnered with Inclusion Weyburn to further support athletes with disabilities.

Silver Seals coach Dalton Molnar receives Diane Hansen Award

Weyburn Silver Seals coach, Dalton Molnar, was recently awarded the 2025 Diane Hansen Summer Swim Coach Award.

Molnar started swimming when he was seven, and has been a member of the Silver Seals since then.

Dalton has always taken great pride in being a technically skilled swimmer, consistently achieving the goals he sets for himself. His passion for swimming extends beyond his own success, as he genuinely enjoys teaching and helping others reach their potential.

His enthusiasm is evident in interactions with swimmers on deck, where he offers guidance and encouragement, helping them work toward their goals.

As one of the few senior male swimmers, Dalton has played a key role in mentoring and supporting

younger swimmers. His leadership extends beyond technique. He is a great role model and a source of inspiration to swimmers of all ages.

The sense of camaraderie within the team is, in large part, due to Dalton’s efforts to foster an inclusive and supportive environment. Whether it’s through a fist bump, a kind word like “good job” or “great race,” or simply offering encouragement to swimmers from his own club and others, Dalton creates a positive atmosphere where all swimmers feel valued.

Molnar is a dedicated young man who excels in university, but every summer, he returns home to lead and mentor the next generation of young swimmers in his town. Dalton doesn’t have the time to train as much as he would like, but believes

Weyburn U18 Beavers advance to Westerns

The Weyburn U18 Beavers captured gold at the Tier 1 U18 AA provincials, held July 25-27 in Estevan. During round robin play in the provincials, the Beavers secured two wins and one loss. A tie-breaker game was needed to be played against Prince April, in which the Beavers came out ahead 15-14.

The semi-fnal game

was played against Regina White Sox where the Beavers came out on top 17-3. In the gold medal final, the Beavers faced last years’ provincial champs the Estevan Brewers. In a tough fought game the Beavers came out ahead 5-2.

They now move on to represent Saskatchewan at Westerns held in St Albert Alta., on August 15 to 17.

it’s important to show his team that swimming is a lifelong sport. He exemplifies the idea that, even if you can’t perform at the level you once did, the joy of the sport remains.

The Diane Hansen Summer Swim Coach Award is made possible by the Miller Family from Assiniboia and is in memory of Hansen.

Diane, or Dee as she was known to her friends, was a coach with the Weyburn Silver Seals in the early to mid 1990s. She passed away in 2007 from cancer.

Dee was a perfect example of a summer senior swimmer/coach. She would coach at every swim

meet, and then put down her clipboard, just in time to get on the blocks to swim her race. She believed in having fun, not taking herself too seriously, but the moment she stepped on the blocks, she put all of her effort in her race.

Dee was the first coach of Weyburn swimmers that had moved onto to become the coach and a senior swimmer, so obviously she had a great effect on them. The intent of this award is to keep her memory alive by celebrating her qualities in our younger coaches and swimmers. Her qualities are believed to be the traits that make for great summer swimming coaches.

Editorial & Opinion

FR0M THE SIDELINES: sport rituals I didn’t

Norm Park/SaskToday.ca

I can’t give you a really good reason or excuse.

I played a lot of hockey, baseball and football in my youth, but there was one skillset that was, and still is, common within these sporting pursuits that I was never able to acquire.

It’s probably not that vital to the rest of the world, but as I reflect on my years on the fields, ice and players’ benches, I realized I never really learned how to spit properly. I never achieved the lofty goal of emitting a professional-like little gob of spittle.

Now, I don’t moan on about it much, I just do that reflection memory thing when I see those NHL stars sitting on the players’ bench. They’ve just come off the ice after a typical 48-second shift. What do they do? They spit on the floor of the players’ box or hit the wall with the spittle.

They chew on their mouthguard, spit, chew, spit, spit, spit, take a drink of water or energy drink, spit some more, chew some more, and spit again. By then it’s time to climb over the boards for another shift as their coach pacing behind the bench chews furiously on his 14th stick of gum, even though it’s only the second period. The coaches don’t spit … they chew gum … rapidly. Football players have to be careful. They generally have to remove their helmets before they get to emit the spittle, otherwise, well, it could be em-

barrassing having to clean the iron or faceguard following a wayward spat. They generally wait until they make it to the sidelines.

Baseball is another area where a spit-recording artist needs to be careful. Baseball dugouts are generally filthy due to spit and sunflower seed shells, and an occasional gob of tobacco, although I see now that the few players and coaches who do choose tobacco use a paper cup, which is only the right thing to do really.

I mean the clubhouse guy can only take so much in the cleaning department before he’ll go on strike. Unless you are required to be in a baseball dugout, avoid it at all costs.

Now, I can’t say I have never spat; I have, a number of times, but it’s usually the amateurish spit process where you lower the head, aim downward and release the fluid because you have to. I have only had to do it twice as a result of my own attempts at preparing a meal. Other occasions have involved toothbrushes. You know, things like that.

I still marvel when I view baseball players tossing a handful of sunflower seeds into their mouths and then systematically release the spent shells, one by one, in a somewhat well-aimed projectile fashion. It’s a genuine art form. Messy, but then good art can be messy on occasion.

Now that I’m in full confession mode, I’ll also admit I never learned

The Weyburn Review

how to do that loud whistling thing that baseball outfielders are generally required to do. Oh, I can purse the lips and do a little singsong diddy whistle as I listen to some music or just want to entertain myself for 20 seconds.

No, I’m talking about those huge whistles, the kind they called the wolf whistle that some guys apparently used when they saw a gorgeous woman walk by. That whistle is usually only heard now in old movie rewinds.

But you know the sound, the kind of whistle the farmer uses to call the cattle home or the sheepherder’s dog. Some do it by placing fingers at the corner of the mouth.

I’m not sure why, but it sounds the same as the huge decibel whistles that come from the baseball outfielders, that I cannot duplicate even though I spent a great deal of time patrolling centre field landscapes.

So I’m a failure at these two vital factions in the sporting world. How I ever managed a couple of decades of sport participation without being outed as a non-spitter or big whistle emitter, I’ll never know. I do know I tried to be

a good teammate and didn’t complain when an occasional, off-the-mark spatter from a fellow athlete hit my spikes, cleats or skates. It’s just part of the game but I wasn’t a participant in that vital element of it and will carry that shame right to the end.

Oh, one other thing – I never bothered getting tattoos either. Talk about abject social failures eh? But then, that’s sort of in the artistic file, although a lot of athletes sport a collection of them and I’m not sure why. Maybe they believe it enhances the fan’s interest in them and/or their sport? We may never know.

In the meantime, I didn’t know whether to be angry or happy when I would hear a relative declare, “Normie, you’re a spittin’ image of your grandfather.” I was never sure how to take that declaration … compliment or a slam-dunk? My grandfathers died early, so they weren’t available for any professional visual or spit-talent clarifications.

My apologies dear reader, I promise I will attempt to return to at least a semi-serious topic for next week’s offering.

OPINION: Here comes the thunder

Stephanie Zoer, Freelance Reporter

Throughout the summer months it is almost guaranteed that one time or another we will have thunder. With that thunder usually comes lightning and the possibility of a tornado.

I am not a fan of thunderstorms, nor do I like lightning, and the chance of getting a tornado really scares me. We have lived close to where a tornado hit, and it is not something I ever want to see again.

As a child, during the night when a thunderstorm came around, my mom woke us up. We would have to get fully dressed, including shoes, and stay in the living room. There were times that the house would shake from the loud cracks of thunder, and I was terrified.

The oil lamps came out and were placed on the table. Mom always had a healthy supply of candles, and they, too, came out of their hiding place to be ready if the power went out.

Around the age of 13, our house was hit by lightning. I will never forget the incredible noise it made, and how the sparks flew from the power box on the side of the house. It was this storm that got my dad out of bed, it was so loud.

Another time, when I was 16 years old, the lightning was so bright that our yard light went off. The lightning crackled across the sky non-stop, and the following day, we found that our neighbour’s horse had been struck by one of those bolts, splitting a tree down the middle.

After I got married, we had two major storms that created tornadoes, and we were part of the cleanup crew. It is something I will never forget, and I can tell you; it is something a person does not want to experience.

Over the past couple of weeks, we have

seen more of these unpredictable storms. Living in town, it is hard to see the clouds roll in until they are on top of us. Nonetheless they still scare me, although I am getting better.

The last two storms had us walking from window to window following the clouds that were swirling above us. It is also a time that our dogs stay close to our sides, as they dislike the storms as well.

We do not have a basement, but we do have a plan. We each have a pet that we are responsible for and what we are to take in case the need arises for us to take shelter quickly.

As my husband watched out the back door and me out the front door, a crack of thunder and a bolt of lightning had me jumping out of my skin. I went quickly to the back door, cleaning my glasses and not really paying attention and walked right into my husband, breaking my glasses.

I could not be without my glasses, but I could see the larger-than-life flashes going across the sky. Once the storm subsided, the arm on my glasses was hot glued so I could wear them until I could get them fixed.

On Friday, July 25, we had another storm roll through. This one had me scared as our phone sent out an alert that we were in a tornado warning. Neighbours to the west and north have already seen hail and this is another issue we do not want to see.

Hail destroys so many things depending on the size. Farmers lose their crops, vehicles end up with dents, my garden will be ruined, and many animals have no place to go.

Luckily, this storm did not produce any damaging winds, no destructive hail, and the tornados stayed away. Let us hope that our summer continues without any major devasting storms and that our plan for shelter is never needed. Do you have a plan in place?

THINGS TO EXPERIENCE THIS AUGUST

Sometimes it’s easy to take for granted what you have in your own backyard.

After all, you’re so used to seeing it, you just always expect that it will always be there – but it can also become easy to miss.

Some attractions are a community’s “best-kept secret”, as they are things everybody should know about but don’t, when it should be a pretty big deal.

This is not just a phenomenon in Weyburn, nor is it a Saskatchewan thing. People in all communities don’t give themselves enough credit for having all sorts of things others would genuinely like to see or experience.

Sometimes here in Weyburn, we seem to forget how much we have going for us.

A note for the rest of the country: there are a lot more attractions and activities to do than just work and stare at endlessly flat spaces. Those flat, wide-open spaces yield some of the most spectacular sunrises and sunsets on the planet in the “Land of the Living Skies”, along with a lot of rolling hills and valleys for us to enjoy.

Take a look at Weyburn and the surrounding area. You’ll find all sorts of great things to do in all directions.

Head southeast of Weyburn and you’ll find Nickle Lake Regional Park, one of the best regional parks in the province. It’s beautiful and well-maintained, with terrific campsites, along with a beach, boat docks, a new paddling pool and minigolf to enjoy.

Go further southeast, you’ll find Mainprize Regional Park

on the Rafferty Dam, with its boat launch, beach and golf course.

Nearer the city you can take in the Weyburn Golf Course, a beautiful 18-hole golf course and clubhouse, with a practice putting green and driving range.

Life is just as much fun when you come into the city. The Weyburn Leisure Centre is home to the city’s outdoor swimming pool next door along with the Credit Union Spark Centre.

In addition, Weyburn has two spray park facilities, at River Park and at the Young Fellows/Don Mitchell Tot Lot, including a paddling pool and playground at the latter location.

The Tatagwa Parkway trail system offers trails all around the city, connecting with the picturesque River Park and campground, which features disc golf and a gazebo, and a kayak/canoe launch onto the Souris River.

Another park area is Jubilee Park, which has pathways along with ball diamonds for minor ball and softball teams, and sports fields for soccer and lacrosse.

You can go for a meal at one of our great restaurants, some of which have patios to enjoy on warm summer evenings. If you’re from out of town, you might want to spend overnight at one of the city’s hotels or motels, and visit one of the shopping areas the following day.

Weyburn is blessed with a number of cultural experiences as well that will allow you to further your artistic skills, or admire the abilities of others.

You don’t have to look very far to find something to do in Weyburn this August.
