The board of Color My World Child Care, along with some of the children who attend, gathered for a ceremonial ground-breaking on Tuesday, to officially start the construction on Phase Two of their facility. The new construction will add 90 new spaces for children, and about 30 new staff will be hired for the expanded day care, set to be complete by the fall of 2025.

The experience might have been different for Midale’s Keely Shaw, but one end result was the same: she’s coming home from a Paralympic Games with a bronze medal.
Representing Canada at the 2024 Paralympics in Paris, Shaw won bronze in the Para cycling C43,000 metres race on Aug. 30. She won bronze at the same race three years ago in Tokyo.
Shaw beat Samantha Bosco of the U.S. by 1.6 seconds in the head-to-head bronze-medal race with a time of three minutes and 46.942 seconds. She had a
jor expansion which has been in the works for over a year now.
The day care currently has 50 spaces for children, and will be adding another 90 spaces once the expansion is complete, with 9,400 square feet of space, with
lead of 2.099 seconds at one point late in the race.
“I came here hoping to improve my performances from Tokyo, which I didn’t do, so that’s a little bit of a disappointment, but coming back with another medal is obviously pretty special. I can’t complain too much on that front,” Shaw said in an interview with SaskToday.
During the qualifying round, Shaw posted a time that was nearly three seconds better than her previous personal best, and then she posted a similar time in the bronze race.
The racers with the two best times in the qualifying round advance to the gold-
classroom settings and a small gym as part of the new building. The current facility has about 3,400 square feet of space.
The day care currently has around 180 people on their wait list, so the new spaces will be filled up very
medal race, and those with the third and fourth-best times race for bronze.
“There were ups and downs, of course,” she said. “Any sporting event you always want more. That’s kind of what makes us elite athletes. But the girl I beat in the bronze medal final, she’s bested me in the last couple of competitions, at the world championships in March and at the Pan-Am Games last November, so it was nice to get a little bit of retribution there,” said Shaw. She didn’t know she had a large lead in the final.
“You’re going so hard that you’re maintaining just enough lucidity to not fall
quickly, said Jen Symes, executive director of Color My World. The project is estimated to be completed by the fall of 2025, with DSI Construction as the main contractors.
There are currently 17 staff at the day care, and
off the bike. So, I had no idea where the other person was on the bike. I just knew what I had to do and did it,” said Shaw.
She finished fifth in the time trial race on Sept. 4, completing the 14.1-kilometre circuit in a time of 22 minutes and 9.19 seconds, only 29.95 seconds behind the gold medalist. Shaw admits she was disappointed with the result and has been mulling it over since the race.
“If I could go back in time, that would be the one thing I would do is I would redo that race. I had a really good second half of the race, but the first third of the race,
another 30 staff will need to be hired when the newlyexpanded facility is ready to open. The 90 new spaces will be for children aged six weeks up to four years, while the other 50 spaces will be made available for those aged four to 12 for after-school care. Government grant funding and financing will pay for the construction costs, and Color My World is looking for sponsorships for the new play equipment and supplies that will be needed in the larger facility.
I was a little bit too conservative in that this is a shorter race than I’m used to.”
She thought she kept a little too much in reserve for the end, and it showed on the result sheet.
Shaw wrapped up the Games on Sept. 6 by finishing 15th in the road race with a time of two hours and 9.28 seconds for the 71-kilometre distance. It’s not her strongest event, and she came in with a goal of not crashing.
“Obviously I don’t want my Paralympic Games to end on a negative note like that. So, mission accomplished. I didn’t crash. I finished the race, got to ride
in France, which doesn’t suck,” said Shaw. The experience was completely different this time. When she was in Tokyo three years ago, COVID-19 pandemic restrictions were still in effect. Athletes stayed in satellite villages and fans weren’t allowed in the stands. It was still the Paralympics, but she said it wasn’t nearly the same. In Paris, the velodrome facility was sold out months in advance. They met athletes from other sports. The outdoor circuit was lined with people, and people were playing trumpets and banging on signs.

Friends, the topic of Heaven and Hell is a very important one. When you die, your soul lives on. And it will live in one of two places: Heaven or Hell.
One of the most important truths we need to realize is that a loving God does not send any human being to hell. People go to hell because of their choices. The Bible says that God so loved the world that He gave His only Son Jesus that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
An atheist turned philosopher, Lee Strobel in his book, “Case for Heaven” shares fascinating con -
versations with respected scholars and experts, including a neuroscientist from Cambridge University, a researcher who analyzed a thousand accounts of near-death experiences, and why death is not the end of our existence but a transition to an exciting world to come
We had the privilege as a Church to host the live drama, “Heaven’s Gates and Hell’s Flames”. It was a neat experience for the cast who were primarily church members, and the audience that when our time on this earth is over, then what a joy to be welcomed by God to heaven.
On the other hand, for those who reject Christ to be thrown into the hell fires
forever and ever.
Please read the words of Jesus about hell: “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea. If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched, where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.”
Whereas hear the comforting words of Jesus on heaven to every person who puts his trust in Him: “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house there are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”
Dear reader, Heaven is real, Hell is real. In the gospel of Luke 16, Jesus talks about two individuals, a rich man and a beggar named Lazarus. A time came when both these individuals died. The beggar was carried by the angels to
Abraham’s bosom, another name for heaven. The rich man also died, and being in torment in hades, another name for hell.
In hell the rich man cried and said, “Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue for I am tormented in this flame.”
I am also reminded of one of the thieves who was crucified next to Jesus on the cross. This thief felt responsible for his actions and rebuked the other thief by saying, “Do you not
even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the reward of our deeds, but this Man has done nothing wrong.” Then this thief said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
Jesus replied, “I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” In God’s mercy this thief made it to heaven in the last moments of his life.
Friends, the choice is yours Heaven or Hell.
Do you desire to go to
heaven when you die? If so, confess to God that you are a sinner and need His forgiveness. Put your faith in Jesus and invite Him into your life to be your Lord and Savior. I promise you that right now, you can experience heaven on earth. On the other hand, if your choice is to reject Christ, then God’s hands are tied to save you from hell’s flames. My urgent plea for you is choose Jesus and heaven is yours forever. I promise you that you will never regret this most important decision. God bless you.

Michael Boda Chief Electoral Officer of Saskatchewa
Many factors determine the health of a democracy, but each depends on freedom — freedom of speech, freedom of association, and freedom to vote. Tying it all together is a pluralistic system of political parties that lies at the heart of free and fair elections. Ultimately, though, the true test of democracy rests with each one of us. It hinges on our most important civic duty — to cast our votes in elections.
In a few weeks, Saskatchewan will be staging a provincial election. In recent elections, more than 225 candidates have let their names stand for election. This fall, seven political parties will be represented. The choice of who represents us and forms government is entirely yours. In other words, an election is when your voices are heard as the ultimate expression of democracy.
As Saskatchewan’s independent election management body, Elections Saskatchewan is guided by the core principles of impartiality, integrity, innovation, service and dedication. Nothing is more important for us than ensuring that elections in our province have the public’s full trust and confidence. Key to that trust and integrity is making sure that voting is accessible, easy and convenient for all. To achieve this, we’ve expanded the number of voting days, lengthened the time citizens have to cast their ballot, and we’ve instituted multiple ways to vote.
Voting Week coming
In this election, instead of a single “Election Day” voting location, where most voters have traditionally cast their ballot at—and only at—a specifically assigned geographical spot, we are now formally recognizing “Voting Week.” For five days, scheduled for Oct. 22-26, multiple voting locations in your constituency will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.. Then on Oct. 28, the last day of voting, polls will be open for extended hours from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. In
total, you will have 56 hours of in-person voting to cast your ballot during the six days of Voting Week.
In rural constituencies, there will be five to six voting locations open during Voting Week. On the last day of voting, we will add additional locations that will ensure no voter is more than 30 minutes driving time from a voting location. This means we’re making voting more convenient, with a full six days when citizens can cast their ballot in person, when they want, at the voting location of their choice.
The creation of Voting Week is a crucial step in acknowledging the need to place the voter at the centre of our democratic system. By so doing, we are broadening voters’ access to the secret ballot, introducing multiple days and multiple places to vote that offer greater convenience for eligible voters in choosing their leaders.
But that’s not all. We’re also offering multiple methods to vote.
Vote by mail a convenient alternative
In this election we are again encouraging voters, particularly those in rural areas, to consider using the vote-by-mail option. During the 2020 election, which was held amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we introduced Vote by Mail and more than 56,000 voters took advantage of that choice.
Vote by Mail is an excellent alternative to in-person voting, especially for seniors living independently, students living outside their constituency, those who traditionally have had to travel a long distance to an in-person voting location, and others who simply want to manage their own schedule for voting.
Individuals can apply to Elections Saskatchewan for the mail-in ballot kit right now online at www. elections.sk.ca/votebymail.
Once approved, a ballot will be sent to voters as soon as the election is called. Voters can mail their completed ballot kit back to us up to and including the last day of voting week.
ClicktheSoutheastcategory,andbookmarktheWeyburnReview
The vote-by-mail option is a safe and secure way to vote. Unlike in systems elsewhere, every voter must apply, provide identification, and be approved to receive a mail-in ballot. Elections Saskatchewan tracks each ballot as it moves into the postal system and knows when it has been returned for counting through a method that ensures secrecy of those ballots. When voters submit their applications, they are assigned and sent a code which allows them to return to a website that will confirm for them when their vote-by-mail kit was mailed and when it was returned and placed in a ballot box by election officials at Elections Saskatchewan.
Options for those with special needs
Finally, for citizens who are unable to leave their home to vote due to a disability and prefer not to use the vote-by-mail option, we will also offer limited homebound voting. In those cases, an election worker comes to the voter’s home so that the individual and their caregiver can cast their ballot. Elections Saskatchewan also provides voting opportunities for those living in personal care facilities or who find themselves in the hospital while voting is taking place.
To ensure voters have the information they need to vote, every registered voter will be sent a voter information card (VIC) in the mail. Or, if you prefer, registered voters can give us a call and we will send you a virtual VIC by text or email. If you are a new voter and need to register to vote, you can do all this at www.elections.sk.ca or call 1-877-958-8683.
Everyone at Elections Saskatchewan is committed to ensuring that voters have access to a convenient and secure voting experience that they can trust, as they carry out their democratic duty by casting a ballot in the upcoming provincial general election.
Michael Boda has been Chief Electoral Officer of Saskatchewan since 2012 and is a Policy Fellow at the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Policy.

Parenting does not always have to be a stressful job when it comes to managing your family life.
There are ways to take care of your kids and your family without always getting stressed out on a regular basis.
As a result, here are some tips that a parent can use to help manage the anxiety of taking care of the kids.
1. Share the responsibilities: Do not try to do everything all at once. Parenting will not be as stressful if you and your spouse can learn to work together. Your stress will decrease when you share the responsibilities in taking care of the children.
2. Do what you can do today: Things have a tendency to build up if you keep putting them off. Do things as they come up. If you have to help your kids with a school project, then try to get started today instead of waiting until the end of the week.
3. Learn to pace yourself: Do not try to do everything all at once because you will get burned out. A person can only do so much in
a particular day. Stay organized and focus on one task at a time. This will help you to manage your stress.
4. Take some time to relax: Taking part of the day to do something fun such as walking in the park will help you to relax. Let your spouse or family member take care of the kids for part of the day while you do something that will help you to relax.
5. See things from your children’s perspective: Many parents engage their sons and daughters from their own point of view. A helpful suggestion is to try to see things from your children’s perspective when dealing with their problems. By doing this, you will be better able to get your kids to open up to you.
6. Get advice from other parents: If you still have trouble getting your children to open up, try talking to your friends and others to see how they talk to their sons and daughters. You may get some helpful insights on how you can successfully engage your kids and increase your chances of success.

“The crowd there definitely made it an extra-special experience, and that’s not to say that Tokyo wasn’t special, but when you get to share it with the world like we were here in Paris, that’s pretty cool,” adding that the crowd provided her with some extra energy during the competition.
“It’s an honour and a privilege to be able to showcase our sport on the
biggest stage, to be able to showcase it for that many people in person, so that they get a true idea about what we do and how fast we’re truly going. It definitely urges you to get just that little bit faster, and try to find that extra gear,” she said.

All of the different countries have decked-out national houses.Shaw had the chance to explore them between the road race and the closing ceremonies on Sept. 8.
One thing that didn’t change between Tokyo and Paris was the support from people in Midale and elsewhere in southeast Saskatchewan.
“Anyone who grew up in Saskatchewan as a
whole, especially smalltown Saskatchewan, knows that the support we get from back home is second to none,” said Shaw. She was looking forward to spending the last couple of days in Paris and then returning home to Saskatchewan to share the medal with family and friends. Shaw said she would reflect on the experience, and enjoy exercising and riding her bike for fun.

The Weyburn Comp Eagles football team travelled to Yorkton on Friday night for their season opener against the Raider Gridders. Friday nights in Yorkton always bring out a loud and boisterous crowd with extra presentations, performances and minor football mini-games at half time, the atmosphere is always great.
“It’s been a few years since the Eagles have been able to knock off the Raiders on their own home turf and they were looking to change that on Friday,”
said head coach Jody Kerr. The Raiders were the first to score on an early drive with a field goal taking a 3-0 lead. Late in the first quarter, Haydin Buehler intercepted a Raider pass and ran it in for a touchdown to give the Eagles the lead. With both teams wellmatched it was tough for either team to get a rhythm in the first half. The only other scoring was a twopoint safety given up by Yorkton, giving the Eagles a 9-3 lead at half time.

Nolan Uhren connected with Haydin Buehler to take the ball down to the Raider six-yard line giving the Eagles a great chance to score. Unfortunately two near misses and a blocked field goal sent them away empty handed.
Two plays later the defense came through again with an interception by Max Vennard, giving the offense great field position again. Two plays later, Uhren connected again with Buehler for the second touchdown of the game, giving the Eagles a
16-3 lead.
The fourth quarter saw the Eagles settle in and control the game on both sides. The offense could only manage a field goal attempt, which was missed, but a single point was scored. The defense did not budge the rest of the game.
Yorkton was kept off the board and the defense scored another pick-six courtesy of Max Vennard to make the final score 24-3.

Meantime, on Wednesday, the Eagles junior varsity team hosted Moose Jaw Peacock and Moose Jaw Central in the first
junior games of the year. The format was a controlled scrimmage with no special teams.
Each team had 10 offensive plays and then switched possessions with the other team. It was a great opportunity for all three of these teams to get some game speed reps against non team-mates. With coaches on the field where needed, it was an excellent opportunity for these young kids to learn in the full-speed game situations. In the end MJ Central was the top team of the three.

Red Wings player Lucas Schmid skated in hard after taking a shot on the Estevan net, only to have the puck knocked away in front. Weyburn won this preseason battle 4-1 on Friday, and lost 3-2 in overtime on Saturday. Their home opener will be on Sunday, Sept. 22 at 2 p.m.
The Weyburn U12 Ravens and U14 Falcons minor football teams travelled to Estevan last week, and both earned wins.
The U12 Ravens hit the highway to defeat rival Estevan Chargers 58-48, on another beautiful evening for football.
Running back Landon Leroux ran an estimated 350 yards on the ground and five touchdowns, while QB Jep Ferguson rushed for four of his own in an outstanding performance at the helm.
The O line, lead by Remiel Groisman, came together for some excellent blocking. New to the O line at centre was Kaisen Jackson, and his performance earned game ball honours for a second time this season in as many games.
Rhys Fowler led the team with 15 tackles and some helpers. Mac Hillstead had nine tackles, some helpers and a pass knockdown. He took home a game ball.
Connor Metz played lockdown corner and made a crucial intercep -
tion that turned the tide in Weyburn’s favour, and he too earned a game ball. Honourable mention went to Mayhem Haider, who added seven tackles.
The U14 Falcons played their rivals, the Estevan Oilers, on Friday night and took home another big win.
Offence absolutely owned the field in possession time, marching down the field play after play. Quarterback Finley Clark made a whopping 10 complete passes for a total of 65 yards, and Brenden Hope powered through defenders for a total of 77 rushing yards, but the Oilers defence were a force to be reckoned with, shutting down any offensive scoring opportunities.
The defence showed up to play again with 10 out of 12 players all logging tackles, and two snagging interceptions, one from Judd Vennard, and Corbin Dyck, who scored a touchdown on the play.
However, the real stars of the game, and the night’s game ball recipients, were the entire
group of Special Teams. Blocking was on point and speed was second to none with special teams logging two kickoff return touchdowns, a field goal, and a punt return touchdown ultimately giving Weyburn the win.
The final score was 29-24 for the Weyburn Youngfellows Falcons.
The U10 Apex Cardinals hosted their jamboree game day in Weyburn on Sunday at WMF Field, and upcoming on Sunday, Sept. 22 will be attending the Estevan jamboree.
The Weyburn Red Wings split their homeand-home preseason series with their Highway 39 rivals, the Estevan Bruins, winning 4-1 at home on Friday, then losing 3-2 in overtime in Estevan on Saturday.
The Red Wings will now prepare for their season-opening homeand-home series with the Yorkton Terriers, playing in Yorkton on Friday, Sept. 20, then hosting their season home opener on Sunday, Sept. 22 at 2 p.m.
The home opener will feature a barbecue tailgate party, with the barbecue and bouncy houses starting at 11:30 a.m., with $2 hot dogs and drinks, and after the game, a skate with the Wings at 4:30 p.m.
The first 100 fans in the door will get team swag, and there will be $5 beer for the whole game.
In Friday night’s win over the Bruins, Keenan Ingram scored twice in the first period. His first goal was assisted by Jonah Bierd and Lucas Schmid,
and the second goal, near the end of the period, was assisted by Samuel Masse and Felix LaFlamme. Luke Dekay scored in the second period, assisted by Carson Castro, and Liam Donovan scored at the halfway point in the period from Ingram and Ty McKay. The Bruins scored their lone goal in the third period.
Angelo Zol handled the goaltending duties for the game, and he made 26 saves on 27 shots on net.
On Saturday, the Bruins opened the scoring in the first period, and added one more in the second, then the Red Wings tied the game.
Bierd scored, assisted by Jase McNichol and Braigh LeGrandeur, then Connor Frost scored, assisted by McNichol and Blake Betson. Estevan scored at 3:17 of the overtime period to claim the win.
Dazza Mitchell was in net for the full game, making 30 saves on 33 shots on net.
Siblings demonstrate wrestling
Mirabelle Leroux got into position to take down her brother Landon, as dad Ray coached them on the procedure, at the Weyburn Wrestling Club’s wrestling clinic on Saturday. Registration day will be on Monday, Sept. 23 from 7-9 p.m. at the Elgin gym.
The Weyburn Arts Council and Weyburn Art Gallery are gearing up for a full slate of activities for Cultural Days, which will run from Sept. 20 to Oct. 12 in a number of locations around the city.
The first really busy day for Cultural Days will
