Weyburn This Week

Family-run venue offers high-energy competition and fun Sara Parks SaskToday.ca A family-run business is carving out a new kind of entertainment in Weyburn, offering residents a mix of competition and fun. The Slice Hatchet Throwing and Games opened its doors in October 2024, and has become a local destination for axe throwing and interactive play. “We have been wellreceived with the locals,” said sole proprietor Deron Fahlman, who runs the business alongside his wife, Kyla, and their daughter, Amora, who serves as the main axe coach and manager. “Our main attraction is six axe throwing lanes with HD projected targets and digital scoring,” said Fahlman. “We were the first axe throwing venue in the province to use this kind of system. Rather than a traditional painted

target, our venue uses projectors to display a growing variety of targets and games - everything from traditional-style targets to tic-tac-toe and word games - all played with throwing axes and knives.” The venue also features a pool table, darts, foosball, shuffleboard, Pac-Man, and more on the growing games floor. Fahlman describes the space as part competition, part hangout. Something different The idea for The Slice came from a desire to offer something different in southeast Saskatchewan. “Axe throwing has been rapidly growing in popularity across Canada and the USA, and I thought, The Young Fellows of Weyburn donated $5,000 to purchase a swing for Inclusion Weywhy not Weyburn?” said burn. This is the third swing the Young Fellows have purchased for the organization. Fahlman. “Pairing that The swings help children regulate themselves and find them very soothing.

THE ART OF FINDING WORK: JOB SEARCH SUCCESS REQUIRES BEING SEEN AS A ROCK STAR

Nick Kossovan/SaskToday.ca There was a time when I believed I could simply show up and be loved by everyone; such was my ego. I thought I had “rock star-like” status that drew admiration; however, I eventually had to admit to myself that I lacked that level of charisma. When I refer to being a “rock star,” I mean being one of those rare individuals who fully embrace their lives, despite their imperfections, who carry themselves with confidence and poise. Rock stars often see themselves as their own heroes, excelling by being authentic rather than conforming to societal expectations and marketing pressures. Attaining rock star status in any field is anchored on a pivotal attribute: confidence. This encompasses a realistic evaluation of one’s capabilities and a firm belief in them. In essence, a rock star is someone who trusts in their own potential. In 2025, self-belief is indispensable—this is not to be confused with entitlement, which can distance employers, or with arrogance, which often leads to rejection. With the advancement of artificial intelligence, automation, and offshoring, which are rapidly shrinking the number of whitecollar jobs, having a perceived rock starlike status, at least partially, is becoming increasingly crucial for job search success. Most job seekers mistakenly think that employers should hire them solely based on their: • Degrees and certifications • Years of experience and proven track records

However, they’re overlooking a crucial element that would enhance their application: having rock star-like status. It’s possible for a job seeker to be doing everything right, from a traditional point of view, and yet their applications are being ignored. Why? Because in 2025, being ‘qualified’ is merely the starting point; you need to excel at the basics, and many, if not most, job seekers fall short. What once guaranteed entry into workplaces is now largely irrelevant. To stand out in today’s job market, you must demonstrate your exceptional abilities in a nuanced way. “Being average is the new failure.” — Anonymous. In 2025, you get hired in one of two ways: • Doing what others won’t • Doing what others can’t You may be familiar with Seth Godin’s widely known metaphor of the purple cow. You drive by cows all the time—brown, black, white, spotted—all are a blur, a quick glance to be instantly forgotten. However, if you saw a purple cow, you’d slam on your brakes and stare. You’d take pictures or a video and post them on your social media. You’d tell your friends. You don’t have to be a purple cow to stand out, but you do need to be remarkable; a “rock star,” per se, because nobody remembers ordinary, and ordinary won’t get you hired. Before you stress about needing to reinvent yourself as the next Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, or Gary Vaynerchuk, take a breath. Being perceived as a rock star isn’t about being flashy; it’s about

maintaining consistent clarity about who you are and what you do. It’s about embracing what makes you unique and leading with that. You don’t need to be the next Whitney Wolfe Herd; you need to be unapologetically yourself. You need to amplify what makes you different and, therefore, memorable. I’m referring to skills and experiences that would be valuable to an employer. Making the fluffiest and creamiest omelets on the planet doesn’t count unless you’re applying to be a cook at Denny’s. Your unique skills might be fluency in languages such as French, Spanish, or Mandarin, or having specialized expertise, along with experience in quantum computing and programming languages like Qiskit or Google’s Cirq. Being “good” with Excel doesn’t make you a rock star; having a proven track record of statistical analysis and modelling—expertise in using Excel for advanced statistical techniques, including regression analysis, forecasting, and hypothesis testing, enabling data-driven decisionmaking—makes you a rock star, though only partially. I find that most job seekers either fail to understand or refuse to acknowledge, perhaps to protect their narrative, that they’re not to blame for their job search results. In a fiercely competitive

job market, where hundreds or even thousands of applicants compete for a single position, offering additional value beyond what the job description requires is a significant competitive advantage that shouldn’t be underestimated. I’ve seen candidates proficient in a second language hired over those with more experience. Once, I hired a trainer with less than three years of corporate training experience, but who was the president of the local Toastmasters club for over five years—a testament to their dedication to developing presentation skills—who outshone all the candidates during a tenminute presentation she delivered as part of the hiring process, over candidates with many more years of corporate training experience. Ultimately, what makes someone a rock star isn’t just the skills that would increase their value to the position, such as being an Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP). It’s also about exceptional charisma and, most importantly, being someone, others want to work with. When a hiring manager assesses a candidate, they’re not just looking for knowledge, skills, and talent. They’re also seeking someone who will be enjoyable, even fun, to work with, who will be a great teammate. This is the secret ingredient that makes someone a true rock star.

Saskatchewan tops provincial credit ratings, reflecting economic strength Saskatchewan continues to demonstrate financial stability by maintaining the highest credit rating among the provinces when the ratings from all three major agencies are considered. Moody’s Investors Service, Morningstar DBRS (MDBRS) and S&P Global recently affirmed their credit ratings for Saskatchewan, with MDBRS maintaining its AA (low) rating, Moody’s maintaining its Aa1 rating and S&P affirming its AA rating. All of the agencies assigned a stable outlook, reflecting continued confidence in Saskatchewan’s fiscal management. The 2025-26 Budget introduced several changes to enhance affordability under The Saskatchewan Affordability Act, including the largest personal income tax

reduction for residents since 2008. The measures included in the Act are expected to deliver approximately $250 million in tax savings for individuals and businesses this year. This is in addition to the more than $2 billion in affordability measures included in each and every budget. Recent Statistics Canada data underscores Saskatchewan’s economic momentum. The province’s real gross domestic product (GDP) numbers at basic prices reached an all-time high of $80.5 billion in 2024, increasing by $2.6 billion, or 3.4 per cent. This ranks Saskatchewan second among provinces and above the national average of 1.6 per cent. Saskatchewan also maintains the second-lowest net-debt-to-GDP ratio among the provinces.

Sara Parks SaskToday.ca City council has approved a three-year phased increase for user fees at Crescent Point Place and the Tom Zandee Sports Arena, while rates at the Spark Centre and Weyburn Leisure Centre will remain unchanged. The adjustments, set to take effect Sept. 1, aim to address rising operational costs due to inflation, energy expenses and supply costs, said Mathew Warren, city manager, at the regular council meeting on Aug. 11. “The proposed user fee increases are unfortunately required to operate cityowned leisure facilities to address the ongoing impacts of inflation, energy and supply costs,” said Warren. He said the Leisure Ser-

vices Department is constantly seeking funding opportunities and finding operational efficiencies to limit deficits and keep user access affordable. Arena rates climbing Winter rates for Weyburn Minor Sports Associations will rise from $145 in 2024-25 to $175 by 2027-28. School rental fees will increase from $80 to $95 over the same period. Summer sport camp daily rates will see a jump from $2,150 in 2024-25 to $2,550 in 2027-28. The Weyburn Red Wings will also face higher ice rental costs, with pre-season game fees climbing from $745 to $865, regular games from $1,060 to $1,230, and playoff games from $1,700 to $1,970 by 2027-28.

No hike for Spark Centre, Leisure Centre While arena fees rise, the Spark Centre and Weyburn Leisure Centre will maintain current rates for the next three years. Coun. John Corrigan questioned the discrepancy, asking, “I notice the increases at the arenas over the next three years, but I’m not seeing increases at the Spark Centre or the Leisure Centre at all over the next three years.” Warren confirmed that was correct. “We’ve held the rates there for the next three years with some of the Leisure facilities being currently out of service and a lot of rate increases over the years to catch those facilities up to current-day standards.”

Mainil wins medals at Pickleball Nationals

Deana Mainil competed at the Myoflex Canadian National Pickleball Championships, held August 19 to 24 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The tournament was held at the Taylor Tennis Center which had 32 courts, with over 720 athletes participating in the six day event. “I played in three events with my partner Dave Clarke from Regina Beach,” said Mainil.. “We competed in the Mixed Doubles 4.0 and above skill level (age 50+) on August 20 where we had three strong wins and then a loss of 16-14 which placed us

second in our pool. We then had to face a 5.0 team who took us out in a score of 15-6, ending our day and placing eighth out of 25 teams.” “We played in the Provincial Competition with Team Sask on August 21, where we beat Team Manitoba 11-7,” said Mainil. “Then we played Team Alberta and beat them 119. We then took a loss to Team Ontario with a score of 11-9. Team BC beat us 11-5 and then we took down Team Quebec with a score of 11-1. This gave us seven points out of a possible 10 for Team Sask, the

most of any of the other Team Sask teams as two points were awarded for each win, one point if you lost, but your score was six or more and zero points if you lost and had less than six points. Unfortunately, the rest of Team Sask’s total points wasn’t enough to get us into the playoffs, so our day was done.” “Dave and I played Mixed Doubles 4.5 skill level in the 50+ age category on August 23. We had a bye in the first round followed by a win against a B.C. team in two games. We took a loss to an Ontario team in a three-game

tough battle and a final loss before the medal round to an Alberta team.” “I played Full Court Women’s Singles in the 4.0 skill level (age 55+) on August 22, where I went completely undefeated to win the gold medal,” said Mainil. “I played two events with my partner, Brenda Hawryluk from Spruce Grove, Alberta,” said M a i n i l . “ We p l a y e d Women’s Doubles 4.0 and over skill level (age 50+) on August 19. We really

struggled and only came out with one win so it was a short day.” “We played again on August 23 in the Women’s Doubles 4.5 skill level (age 50+). This was a much better day,” said Mainil. “We had a bye for our first match. We then played a Manitoba/BC duo where we won our first game and then lost the next two in some fierce battles.” “We were then knocked to the B side where we won our next two matches. We then faced the original team

that beat us in three games. We again had some epic battles but could only win one of the three games, earning us the bronze medal.” “Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and a very fun week reconnecting with pickleball friends from across the country and playing at a level I have never played before,” said Mainil. “It’s a game where the learning never ends and I feel this experience, win or lose, has made me a much better competitor.”

Deana Mainil won two medals at the Canadian Pickleball Nationals, held August 19 to 24 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Mainil was undefeated in the Women’s Singles 4.0 skill level, winning gold. She also won bronze in women’s doubles 4.5 skill level, with Photo submitted partner Brenda Hawryluk.

Sara Parks SaskToday.ca The Weyburn Red Wings are officially dropping the puck on a new season with a community celebration. The organization will hold a tailgate party to precede the home opener against the Yorkton Terriers on Sept. 19. The festivities will kick off at 4 p.m. with a puck drop scheduled for 7 p.m. “We want to start the season off with a bang, and get the whole community out to celebrate,” said Ryder Burns, sales and marketing director for the Weyburn Red Wing. “The energy the building had in our playoff run was amazing, and we hope to build on that hype at the start of the season.” Burns said the tailgate party is relatively new but is expanding. “The home opener never really had a tailgate party until last year,” he said. “It

first started last year to increase hype for our home opener. It wasn’t as large as this year’s as we have had more time to plan, and added an outside bar, food trucks, and lots more. The first one had a huge help from the Weyburn Credit Union to put it all together. This year we are putting it in our hands to bring the community together, to support the team.” Burns also said anyone who purchases a ticket can attend, as it is included in the game day activities. “We will have the ability to purchase tickets when you get to the gate,” said Burns. The pre-game banner ceremony will hold a special significance this year. “We will be showcasing our Division Winners and SJHL Finalists banners in the rafters before puck drop to highlight the amazing

season the Red Wings had,” said Burns. There will be a Kids Zone for the youth. “We are bringing in three different shooting lanes - hockey, soccer, and football - for the kids,” said Burns. “There will also be things for the little kids like chalk, bubbles, etc. to reach all ages. The corn hole is also available for kids, and adults to play.” Fans will have multiple chances to win, with door prizes up for grabs. “Canadian Tire will be giving away mini sticks to the first 100-200 fans,” said Burns. “We will also have some Red Wings tattoos, stickers, and more for the kids, as well as the guaranteed 50/50 at $7,500 during the game, which can also be purchased online from our website on game day.” The event will include a DJ party, food trucks, an outside bar, and corn hole.

HAPPY LABOUR DAY! Labour Day in Canada is celebrated on the first Monday of September. It originally gave workers the chance to campaign for better working conditions or pay. The day is now part of a long weekend for many Canadians.

WHAT DO PEOPLE DO? Traditionally, Labour Day was an occasion to campaign for and celebrate workers’ rights during parades and picnics organized by trade unions. These still play a role in Labour Day for some Canadians, but many people see the first Monday in September as an opportunity to take a late summer trip, perhaps to their country cottage, or enjoy the company of family or friends at picnics, fairs, festivals and fireworks displays. For teenagers and other students, the Labour Day weekend is the last chance to celebrate or to go on a trip before school re-opens for the new academic year. Canadian football fans may spend a large proportion of the weekend watching the Labour Day Classic matches live or on television. The Labour Day Classic consists of three games between high ranking teams in the Canadian Football League. One match is played on the Sunday before Labour Day and two on Labour Day.

Collision with vehicle and deer among nine calls for Estevan fire crews

SaskToday.ca Members of the Estevan Fire Rescue Service (EFRS) had a busy week from Aug. 18-24, with nine calls for service. The EFRS was dispatched to a commercial fire alarm in the northeast area on Aug. 18 at approximately 11:30 a.m.Crews responded and investigated. The alarm was due to a cooking-related issue. Crews ventilated the structure and ensured the alarm was reset. The EFRS was dispatched to a two-vehicle collision in northeast Estevan on Aug. 20 at approximately 10:35 a.m. Crews responded and assisted at

the scene, alongside the Estevan Police Service and Estevan Emergency Medical Services. Damage was reported to the vehicles. One person was taken to hospital with what the EPS said were minor injuries. That same day at approximately 5:05 p.m., the EFRS was dispatched to a possible electrical transformer fire in the southwest area. Crews responded and isolated the area until SaskPower could arrive to troubleshoot and repair the issue. Tthe EFRS was dispatched to a commercial fire alarm activated in northeast Estevan on Aug. 22 at approximately 8:45

p.m.,. Crews responded and investigated. It was determined to be a cooking-related issue. Crews ventilated and ensured the alarm was reset. Members were dispatched to a collision southeast of the city between a vehicle and a deer on Aug. 24 at approximately 8:40 p.m. Crews responded and determined the fire department’s assistance was not required. RCMP assisted at the scene. The EFRS said no injuries were reported, but the vehicle needed to be towed. The fire department also responded to four other commercial alarms that were all deemed to be false.

David Willberg SaskToday.ca Some of Saskatchewan’s most well-known musicians converged on the Roche Percee Park on Aug. 23 for the second annual Coal Creek Festival. “We had just an amazing lineup of entertainment throughout the entire day, and it was just good music, right from the start of the festival, right to the end with the Steadies,” said event spokesperson Robert Godfrey in an interview with SaskToday. The music started shortly after the gates opened with a performance by Porphyrious, comprised of fatherand-son duo Daniel and Mavrik Espelien. From there, a variety of performers took to the stage, including Jeffrey Straker, Teagan Littlechief, JJ Voss, Karissa Hoffart, Long Live the Glory, Munro and Patrick, Lisa Moen and closing act The Steadies. “We really wanted to put together a festival that showcased some amazing Saskatchewan talent, but we also wanted to put together a festival that left people leaving and thinking that this was the best entertainment they could find the whole summer,” said Godfrey. “That is exactly what

ended up happening. Our entertainers just did such an amazing job, and we knew going into the festival that it was going to be good, but actually being there and getting to hear the music all day was such an amazing thing.” Munro and Patrick was the lone returning act from 2024. Godfrey noted Heidi Munro was the artist liaison and hospitality co-ordinator for the day, serving as the go-between the festival organizers and the performers. “It is incredible the level of talent from performers that we have from Saskatchewan,” said Godfrey. Several of this year’s acts were from the southeast, while others are well-known to the region’s music fans. The final attendance figure was not immediately available, but Godfrey said they had a few hundred people out. The festival also had food and beverage vendors, and a kids’ zone with bouncy castles and more. This year’s festival was in a new location as well. Last year it was held adjacent to the Bienfait Memorial Arena and the Bienfait Curling Club. Godfrey said the new site meant they had to work extra time to get the site prepared, but it worked out well.

“The location was absolutely beautiful at the Roche Percee campground, and we just had so many compliments from performers and guests of the festival, just saying how beautiful the location was, right in the valley, and with all the rain that the area has received this year, everything was beautiful and green. The trees looked great. The grounds were beautifully prepared and it worked incredibly well.” Godfrey predicted it would be a great site for the festival for years to come. The festival was created by the Southeast Saskatchewan Economic Partnership, and the park came on as a partner this year. The idea behind it is to create a tourist attraction in the southeast, and to bring attention to some of the great attractions that exist in the area, including the pierced rock formations, the campground and more. Godfrey thanked the festival’s supporters, including sponsors, donors and others who helped make the event possible. He also thanked the volunteers who kept the event running, and those who came out to enjoy the day. “It was so much fun and we can’t wait to do it again next year.”

Pratt memorial golf tournament supports Estevan-area residents

accident near Alameda in 2016. It serves as a fundraiser for scholarships and other causes in the area. A total of 112 golfers donned their redneck attire and other unique clothes for the tournament. It started with a toast to Dustin and one for Amanda Minchin, the head professional at the golf course who has been battling cancer this year. The tournament was for fun rather than for competition. “Everybody was coming up to us and telling us it was a great time, and they would be back next year. A lot of people say they like to see we support local families and keep the money local,” said Dustin’s mother Roxane. She added they’re calculating how much money was raised and trying to determine where the funds will be directed. But she stressed the family will continue to offer a scholarship for two Grade 12 students who are entering the trades. Roxane noted proceeds from previous tournaments have gone to the Estevan Wildlife Federation, the Estevan Minor Hockey Association, the Community Hamper Association’s Angel Tree Project, the Estevan

Kinette Club’s PJ Project, the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation and the Teddy Bears Anonymous program. Donations have also been made to local families. They also made a donation to the St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation to create Dustin’s Corner, which is an area for children in the waiting room. “It’s good when they can see, with our two scholarships ... that the money stays here. Same with when we donated to St. Joseph’s Hospital and got ... Dustin’s Corner in memory of Dustin. People walk in and they say this is where some of the money went,” said Roxane. In the case of the children’s hospital, Roxane said local families have benefited from the care at the provincial facility. The donations to individual families are kept confidential to protect their privacy. Roxane said the family continues to host the tournament to keep Dustin’s memory alive and to honour him for the man he was. She thanked the community for the ongoing support, and said the family will host the event as long as everyone is willing to come and support them.

Post-Secondary students to be welcomed at campuses across Saskatchewan Approximately 54,000 students will begin postsecondary classes this fall, bringing new energy and optimism to communities across the province. With the start of the 2025-26 academic year, the Government of Saskatchewan remains committed to post-secondary education and is reminding students that there is still time to access financial supports. “Our province’s future depends on a welleducated, innovative and passionate generation of leaders,” Advanced Education Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said. “Saskatchewan’s postsecondary institutions

deliver exceptional education, training and research opportunities that respond to the province’s labour force and community needs while preparing students for a prosperous future.” The Government of Saskatchewan is delivering more than $46 million in direct financial support to post-secondary students through loans, grants and scholarships. This funding aids students with the cost of tuition, books and living expenses, helping make education more affordable and accessible. Post-secondary education is critically important

to the province’s growing labour force and economy, and supports the goals in Saskatchewan’s Growth Plan, Labour Market Strategy and Health Human Resources Action Plan. Three smiling postsecondary students walking down a bright hallway carrying books and backpacks. Text on the image reads: ‘Welcome to a new semester! Post-secondary opportunities await.’ Saskatchewan logo appears in the bottom right corner. Saskatchewan postsecondary graduates may also be eligible to receive

up to $24,000 through the Graduate Retention Program, which provides a tax rebate for those who live and file income tax in Saskatchewan. “We want students to know they are supported not just while they are in school, but after they graduate, too,” Cheveldayoff said. “Investing in post-secondary students is investing in Saskatchewan’s future.” For more information on student aid or the Graduate Retention Program, visit: saskatchewan. ca/student-aid.
