Delisle Celebrates Grand Opening of New Sewage Lift Station No. 2 Municipal Elections 2026
O
n August 31st, the Town of Delisle today celebrated the grand opening of Sewage Lift Station No. 2 and the accompanying sewage force main, a wastewater infrastructure project designed to improve reliability and provide additional capacity for future growth. The project replaces aging infrastructure that had served Delisle for decades. The original Lift Station No. 2 dates back to 1967, with the building and dry pump well added in 1982. With future residential growth in mind, the project included construction of a larger-capacity lift station and force main in an adjacent area, together with the decommissioning of aging infrastructure.

"This project represents an important investment in the future of Delisle. Reliable infrastructure is fundamental to a growing community, and the completion of Lift Station No. 2 gives us additional capacity to support both the residents we serve today and the growth we expect in the years ahead. On behalf of the Town, I want to thank the governments of Canada and Saskatchewan for their partnership, and everyone involved in bringing this project from planning through to completion."- Mayor Deb Winder, Town of Delisle “Investments in reliable infrastructure are investments in the future of our rural communities. The completion of this new sewage lift station will provide the capacity and reliability the Town of Delisle needs to support residential growth and welcome new families for years to come.” – The Honourable Buckley Belanger, Secretary of State for Rural Development. “The Government of Saskatchewan is proud to join the residents of Delisle to celebrate the grand opening of this facility. The new, larger wastewater system will meet increased demand and provide reliable service for future generations. When we invest in important infrastructure like this new station, we strengthen communities and improve quality of life for Saskatchewan residents.” – The Honourable Eric Schmalz, Minister of Government Relations

anniversary compared to 'tin and aluminum' in the traditional list. And the suggested gift for the 15th anniversary is 'watches' - given the cost of Apple watches and Rolexes, you might do well to check the Timex offerings.
Down the Road by Brian Brannagan Marriage and Anniversaries
The gift of diamonds is suggested again for the 30th anniversary, after which time the game continues to be upped with gifts of precious stones (emeralds and rubies) and expensive metals. The 42nd anniversary is the one to strive for as the modern list shows the suggested gift as 'improved real estate' - not just real estate, mind you, but 'improved' real estate.
Marriage isn’t for everybody. The single panel comic shows a middle-aged couple, the wife visiting her husband in jail. The husband says, "The judge gave me 30 days, Mildred, don’t waste your life waiting for me." The institution of marriage has been around for a long, long time in various guises according to the times and the culture. Generally, it is seemingly a very popular institution - governments prefer it, couples flock to it, big bucks are spent on it - well, big bucks on the wedding part of the marriage, anyway. Marriage is largely prompted by the natural instinct to procreate (that "crazy little thing called love"). And the instinct to procreate does have the benefit that it involves having sex. Which can be a motivator - but not always. It certainly wasn't for the\disgruntled fellow who complained, saying: The position is ridiculous, the pleasure momentary and the price abominable. There is no over-all agreement as to the identity of the person who first made that statement, though it is generally accepted that it was the bitter utterance of some poor guy who got hosed in divorce court. One of the first hurdles of marriage occurs even before the marriage ceremony itself, and that is in the matter of the engagement ring. The engagement ring is typically bought by the man to give to the woman as a sign of good faith that he will proceed with the nuptials, thus allowing the woman some assurance that the man's nervous jitters won't cause him to flee before the ceremony. (I have a good friend whose nervous jitters might have caused him to show a clean set of heels, engagement ring be damned, except he dithered too long and fainted at the altar instead.) I was in a jewelry store looking for an engagement ring to grace the hand of the inimitable soon-to-be Mrs B. A young lady was sitting at the counter choosing her ring herself, her fiancé standing at her shoulder. The sales lady was showing her a ring and quoted a price that was the cost of a small car - a new small car. The young lady turned to her fiancé and asked ‘Is that too much? ’. On hearing that, both the price of the ring and the sheer, unbelievable audacity of the question, I was shocked speechless - well, almost speechless. I managed to turn to the prospective husband and croak out, “Run”. Of course, the young lady ignored me and though I thought I could see a fleeting flash of agreement (deer caught in the headlights) on the young man’s face, his feet remained glued to the floor and he turned back to the young lady, giving her a slight nod of acceptance. The sales lady glared at me, glared hard, and I left the store to . . . be elsewhere. Perhaps as a way of rewarding couples for enduring the married life, there are the gifts to be received on the anniversary dates of the wedding. In the modern list, after clocks, china and crystal in the first 3 years, the fourth year is noted as 'appliances' - presumably not toasters, as that was the wedding gift - but air fryers, maybe? Dehumidifiers? The same modern list notes 'diamond' for the 10th
At 50 years the suggested wedding gift is gold - but as an added bonus, and because you might want to make the occasion extra-special, you can also request a congratulatory letter from the Governor-General (whoo-hoo! - who wouldn't want that?). Be sure to make your request well in advance - those are busy, busy folk down there in Ottawa. Diamond is again the specified gift on your 60th anniversary and this time can be accompanied by congratulations from the King of the United Kingdom. King Charles is also the king of 14 Commonwealth countries so you really don't want to lolly-gag getting your request in to him. Personally, I think any marriage that lasts longer than 6 months is a miracle 3 months if you have to share a bathroom. That’s about when the romantic honey-moon glow begins to fade and when the reality of every day life starts to assert itself, when intimacy morphs into familiarity . . . and we know where that can go. When I voiced this opinion to a marriage counsellor friend of mine, he pointed out that God was way ahead of me on that one. "God knew life wouldn't always be easy," he said, "He knew we were going to have some hard times and some struggles - He knew we were going to get married. Which is why He gave us a sense of humour and laughter." (This friend, by the way, is the same guy who told me about God's own sense of humour and why He gave us teenagers - so we could see what it was like to create something that then denied our existence. Yep, that is a belly laugh, all right. A real thigh slapper.) According to one very contrary comedian, that while it may be disheartening to realize approximately 40% of marriages end in divorce, it's way better than realizing that the other 60% end in death. And with the choice that your marriage is going to end in divorce or death and maybe thinking (delusionally) to avoid the inevitable, it’s perhaps understandable that divorce rates are going up, particularly in the cohort of married people in the senior category. But for all of that, for all that we may laugh and joke about marriage, for all the ditches to be avoided and hurdles to be leaped, all marriages are to be celebrated - not just on the wedding day, but for their continuation, however long (or short) that may be. And for most of us, hopefully most of us, wedding and anniversary presents are just recognition awards, participation ribbons, rather than inducements. And that's because the real inducement to marriage is the marriage itself, the reward is the person you are with. A long marriage is not so much an achievement as it is a blessing - which is just another word for lucky. And two of the luckiest among us are Ken and Shelley, who this year celebrate 40 years of marriage - to each other.

Asquith Baptist Church Celebrates 120 Years
T
he Asquith Baptist Church was organized Feb. 6, 1906. The original church and manse are located on Andrew Street. The new church on Main Street was dedicated in October of 1972 and the new manse also situated on Main Street was built in 1964. The church sponsored a refugee family from Vietnam in 1979. The church has a long history of providing Daily Vacation Bible School during the summer, this has turned in to the very popular Mega Sports Camp. It is incredible to note that there are 2 families that attend the church presently that are 5th and 7th generations to do so !
To commemorate this special milestone over 200 people gathered on Sunday, August 16th at the Asquith Baptist Church. It was a perfect summer day for the Outdoor service and Barbecue that were held in the green space beside the church. People attended from Alberta, Manitoba and from all across Saskatchewan. The theme for the day was, “Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow” The service included many different musical numbers by a variety of people. As well several footnotes of history through the years were read. Six individuals shared their special memories of being involved in the church.
The day concluded with a delicious barbecue lunch ending with an anniversary cake. We were very grateful to have had Teen Challenge come and help us with the barbecuing. It was a great time of visiting!

Langham Plus 60 Fall Bus Tour Sept 1-2, 2026
larm clocks were set for an early morning wakeup call in Hepburn, Asquith, Maymont, Saskatoon, Martinsville and of course Langham as the Plus 60 2-day Tour was due to leave the Langham Museum at 7:30 sharp, on the morning of Sept 1st, 2026. Forty-two seniors boarded the bus as scheduled and as soon as the bus driver finished cleaning up my two-cup size coffee spill, we were on our way. First stop was the Lanigan Heritage Centre located in the old CPR station in Lanigan; we found it contained so many interesting displays in so many different rooms. We walked into a dispatch office, a history room, we saw numerous artifacts found on the Carleton Trail Route, and so enjoyed the potash video. Our tour hosts Dorothy, Marilyn and Dianne then delighted us with coffee and muffins along with interesting conversations which lead to realizations of related friends, acquaintances, and or relatives. At the Gallagher Centre in Yorkton, we toured the massive recreation and entertainment facility which houses a waterpark, arena, curling rink, convention rooms, and multi-use Field House. The soup and sandwich lunch we were served was so delicious. Next a guided tour of the refurbished Yorkton Brick Historic Flour Mill, originally constructed in 1900, was amazing. Storyboards on the mill grounds offered a peak into the history of Yorkton, the Historic Flour Mill and pre-settlement times. Half a dozen of us senior water lilies returned to the Gallagher water park and thoroughly enjoyed floating, or more accurately, being tossed around in the wave pool. Day 2 of our excursion took us to Ft. Qu’Appelle and a tour of the Saskatchewan Fish Hatchery, it is the only aquaculture facility in Saskatchewan producing and stocking fish into public waters. During most interesting and informative video, we saw how the Hatchery enables staff to raise fish through their entire life cycle from egg to adult stages, so amazing!
Currently, the main species produced are walleye and a variety of trout; occasionally northern pike are produced as well. In the out-door pond, we were introduced to our tour guide’s ‘favorite’ brown trout, Winston. Winston’s usefulness as breeding stock has come to an end and his fate will be to be released into one of the many lakes the hatchery stocks. Hopefully Winston will elude the fishermen’s hooks and live on for many years. The tour is must see, so educational and interesting. Our lunch at Hopkins Dinning Parlor, a historic, Victorian-style restaurant in Moose Jaw was fun, the food was great and owner Linda regaled us with stories of its haunted history. Linda confessed that she herself was a skeptic thinking the haunted stories to be in her words “bull shit” but after working late into the evening she experienced an eerie visit, from the parlor’s gentle resident ghost — Minnie Hopkins, that won her over. Linda encouraged us to wander through the house and view its beautiful antique furnishings and she was not wrong, they were, beautiful! On the road again we had a most interesting step-on guide board our bus at the rink in the village of Kenaston. Jeanette Holder gave us a factual and interesting talk on the history of Kenaston; she pointed out all of Kenaston’s main buildings and sites and points of interest to us. Jeanette is very proud of her 260-population village home. Kenaston is known as The Blizzard capital of Saskatchewan, this because the community, has in the past and still does, open their rink doors to house and feed any and all stranded motorists. Our Langham Plus 60 Group enjoys excursions such as this twice annually and is grateful for the assistance of Government grants which make them possible. Submitted by Sela Balzer Tour Organizer

Bill S-206 Isn't UBI Progress; It's Ottawa's Next Taxpayer-Funded Boondoggle
A
close friend and frequent sounding board for my writing recently texted me a CBC News story reporting on the 25th annual Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN) Congress, held in Toronto from August 19 to 22. Academics, professional activists, and career bureaucrats descended on Toronto Metropolitan University to swoon over Bill S-206. Sponsored by Senator Kim Pate, the bill would establish a national universal basic income framework guaranteeing a livable income for everyone over 17, with no requirement to work. Proponents frame the bill as a shield against AI and wealth inequality. Opponents, such as Senator Michael MacDonald, rightly argue that state handouts diminish personal ambition at a time when young people should be building their futures. Mark Carney was conspicuously absent, refusing to lend his elite central-planning cachet to what's essentially high-profile virtue signalling. After reading the coverage, I have to ask: how does one become a "basic income expert"? Is there an accredited degree involved, or is it simply the refined art of sitting in air-conditioned conference rooms, debating how to redistribute money earned by folks who get up at 6:00 AM to go to work? Stripping away the academic jargon, Bill S-206 positions basic income as a deeply divisive wedge among taxpayers. Canadian UBI evangelists conveniently ignore our southern neighbour, where a culture of risk, innovation, and hard work attracts global enterprise and investment. If Ottawa embraces cradle-tograve nannyism, it still has to figure out how to hand out money without crushing the incentive to earn it. Spoiler alert: it can't. Human nature isn't driven by noble intentions. Ambition isn't a factory setting; it's a muscle built through struggle. The fear of poverty and the shame of failure aren't flaws in human design—they are pressure mechanisms that have driven civilizations to create, invent, and prosper. Yet even with these ferocious motivators snapping at our heels, millions still choose the comfort of dependency over the work required to achieve financial independence. Imagine the spiral when you remove the stakes that require people to fend for themselves and replace rock bottom with a taxpayer-subsidized buffer that erodes personal accountability. For many adults—and by adults, I mean anyone over 21—being taken care of by parents, employers, or the government has become their primary goal. When you tell a 19-year-old that Ottawa will pad their bank account whether they master a trade or scroll on their phone until noon, you aren't empowering them. You're neutering their drive. You're trapping them in a comfortable prison—a gilded cage—of lifelong government dependency. At the heart of my argument is deep concern for an expanding population of disenfranchised youth. When purpose evaporates, and hope diminishes, "no future" becomes a convenient cover for apathy (read: Why bother trying?). While an income safety net may eventually be necessary to keep young Canadians from falling through the cracks, it must never become a permanent, statefunded lifestyle. Any viable income support must be strictly capped at the bare necessities—a temporary floor for survival, not a comfortable salary. Above all, access must be tied to non-negotiable conditions requiring UBI recipients to pursue trade training (where the jobs are), higher education, or active employment, so their drive remains intact. Before Ottawa rushes into a bureaucratic boondoggle of unearned handouts, it needs to exhaust obvious, low-hanging income solutions first. The consequences of this growing aimlessness are already visible across the West, where young people increasingly embrace political extremism on platforms like TikTok and X. Interpol, Europol, and the FBI have documented teenagers migrating toward extremist digital networks that trade in nihilism, accelerationism, and anti-establishment ideology. These channels rarely rely on sophisticated theory; they simply offer hopeless youth a ready-made tribe and a surrogate sense of purpose. Lacking real-world ambition, a disenfranchised generation will naturally seek out radical doctrines to fill the void.
After 25 annual gatherings, what have the BIEN gatherings accomplished beyond endless academic navel-gazing and zero practical results? If Ottawa is serious about helping struggling families, it shouldn't be expanding the welfare state; it should be overhauling the tax code. Take an arbitrary, generous benchmark: exempting the first $45,000 of individual income from federal taxation. Economists can debate the precise math, but raising the federal taxfree threshold provides instant relief, directly rewards work, and could be implemented almost overnight without creating another government bureaucracy. Instead of offering hard math, UBI evangelists rely on sentimentality: "Some people simply can't earn a living wage." The reality? Canadians are being bled dry. According to the latest Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Tax Revenue Statistics, personal income taxes account for 36.7% of Canada’s total tax revenue, far surpassing the OECD average of 23.7%. Unlike economic peers such as Germany, France, Japan, the UK, or Australia, Ottawa squeezes everyday working families—not to invest in domestic priorities, but to underwrite foreign virtue-signalling, overstaffed bureaucracies, five-star official travel, and botched multi-milliondollar tech projects such as ArriveCAN. Then comes the thorny, unavoidable question of eligibility. Should someone who’s worked, paid taxes, and contributed to Canada for 30 or 40 years receive the same monthly cheque as a recent arrival, a newly minted citizen, or someone who’s never worked a day in their life? Should non-citizens and brand-new residents draw from the same well built by decades of Canadian labour? The moment you turn the federal treasury into an open tap, the line for taxpayerfunded handouts stretches far beyond Canada's borders, and the potential for exploitation becomes uncontainable. When a government confiscates nearly 40% of your earnings under threat of audit and then promises to return a fraction as a "guaranteed allowance," that isn't compassion—it's a protection racket. It's an old political sleight of hand: create hardship, hand out state-issued crutches, and demand your vote in gratitude. Once citizens rely on government cheques to pay rent and buy groceries, they are no longer sovereign citizens; they become clients of the state. This illustrates the warning in Marilyn French's 1980 novel The Bleeding Heart: "There is no power greater than the power of passive dependency." Bill S-206 isn't UBI or social progress; it's a taxpayer-funded golden leash that kills individual initiative, a fiscally reckless boondoggle, and a ticking time bomb for a taxpayer revolt. By guaranteeing a livable wage without conditions, contributions, or accountability, Ottawa reduces Canadians from self-reliant citizens to government dependents: keep the herd quiet, keep them fed, and keep them compliant. The political axiom warns that the hand that feeds you always holds the collar, which may very well be Bill S-206's underlying intention.

SATVA Encourages Riders to take ATV Safety Course
A
s summer turns to fall and riders head out to enjoy Saskatchewan’s trails, backroads and countryside, the Saskatchewan All-Terrain Vehicle Association (SATVA) is encouraging ATV users to make safety training part of their riding routine. The message is simple: Stay Safe. Respect The Trails. Take The Course. “ATV riding is a great way to explore Saskatchewan, but it also requires skill, judgment and preparation,” said SATVA General Manager John Meed. “A certified ATV safety course helps riders build confidence, understand their machines and make better decisions before they encounter challenges on the trail.” SATVA encourages riders of all ages and experience levels to consider taking a certified safety course. For new riders, training provides a strong foundation before they head out on their own. For experienced riders, it is a useful way to refresh skills, review safety practices and stay aware of current rules and expectations. In Saskatchewan, ATV safety training is especially important for youth riders. Young people between the ages of 12 and 15 who operate an ATV on public land and do not hold a valid driver’s licence must complete an approved ATV safety course or ride under the direct supervision of an adult who has held a driver’s licence for at least one year. “Too many incidents happen because riders overestimate their ability or underestimate the terrain,” said Meed.

www.rmreview.net
“A training course gives riders the opportunity to practise important skills in a safe, structured environment before they face those situations on their own.” Certified ATV safety courses cover practical riding skills such as starting, stopping, turning, braking, navigating hills, managing uneven terrain and avoiding obstacles. They also teach riders how to complete pre-ride checks, understand basic maintenance, respond to unexpected hazards and ride responsibly around other trail users. SATVA also reminds parents and guardians to make sure youth are riding age-appropriate machines, wearing properly fitted helmets and using the right protective gear. Training is one part of a broader safety approach that includes supervision, preparation and responsible decision-making. “Riding an ATV is not the same as driving a car, riding a bicycle or operating other recreational equipment. ATVs handle differently, especially on rough or changing terrain. The best way to learn those skills is through proper instruction,” said Meed. As fall riding season begins, SATVA is asking riders to take a few simple steps before heading out: know the rules, check your machine, wear the right gear, ride within your limits and consider completing a certified safety course. ATVing can be a safe and enjoyable way to experience Saskatchewan’s outdoors when riders are prepared.

Saskatchewan RCMP: Wanted Persons
he following individuals are wanted by the Saskatchewan RCMP. They are people with active warrants who were last known to be living in Saskatchewan. They have been selected to appear on this list based on a review of their current criminal charges and the potential harm they present to communities in Saskatchewan.
The intent of releasing this list is to encourage tips and information from the public to support Saskatchewan RCMP investigations and to lead to the arrest of these individuals.
This is not a complete list of all individuals wanted by the Saskatchewan RCMP. Those appearing on this list are determined by a data-driven scoring system using the Crime Severity Index, a Statistics Canada measurement that looks at both the number and the relative severity of crimes. Factors such as age, gender, race, ethnicity, socio-economic status, religion, sexuality or disability of an offender are not considered in the scoring process.
Do not attempt to contact, approach or apprehend any wanted persons on your own. If you recognize any of these individuals and have information regarding their whereabouts, activities or associations, call 310-RCMP (310-7257) or 911 in an emergency.
This list is updated and distributed monthly.
Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic Services Reminds Motorists of School Zone Safety and Regulations School is back for Saskatchewan students and Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic Services want to help drivers and parents brush up on the dos and don’ts of driving in school zones. Inspector Lee Knelsen, Operations Officer of the Saskatchewan RCMP Traffic Services, says: “Everyone plays a role in keeping children safe in school zones. That’s why knowing what to do is so important. Saskatchewan RCMP officers will be present in school zones across Saskatchewan, reminding drivers to slow down, stay alert and help protect young pedestrians." To help keep children safe, Inspector Knelsen encourages all drivers to adopt the following behaviours in school zones: Reduce your speed. Before entering a school zone, you must reduce your speed to the posted limit. The speed limit is in effect every day of the week, all year. Resume your previous speed only after having exited the school zone. Stop for school buses. When a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended, you must stop at least five metres away from the school bus. Wait for the red lights to stop flashing and the stop arm to be pulled in before moving again. Obey school crossing guards. When approaching a crosswalk, you must obey directions to stop given by a crossing guard. Watch for crossing guards when entering a school zone, as they may not always be stationed at designated crosswalks. They are easily identified by their high-visibility vests and stop paddles. Locate pedestrians, children and cyclists around you. When driving in a school zone, take the time to locate pedestrians, cyclists, and scooter riders around you. Children can be unpredictable while playing or walking to and from school and may enter the roadway unexpectedly. Stay alert, expect the unexpected, and give cyclists plenty of space. Before opening your vehicle door, always shoulder check for approaching cyclists and other road users. Avoid U-turns and three-point turns. When driving in a school zone, never make a U-turn or a three-point turn. These manoeuvres are illegal because they can be difficult for children to anticipate, increasing the risk of a collision. If you need to change direction, turn onto a different street at the next intersection instead. Parents who drive their children to school have additional responsibilities in
keeping children safe in school zones. Inspector Knelsen encourages parents to adopt the following behaviours in school zones: Stop in designated areas. When dropping off children at school, do not stop in designated school bus loading areas, which are typically marked with cones. These zones help students safely board and exit buses at the curb. Always use designated parent drop-off zones instead. Do not stop or double-park in driving lanes, even if you plan to be there only temporarily. If parent drop-off zones are full, do not stop or double-park in driving lanes. Doing so is illegal and blocks other drivers' view of pedestrians, increasing the risk of a collision. Have children exit the vehicle on the side away from moving traffic. When parent drop-off zones are full, stop where your children can safely exit your vehicle away from traffic, ideally from the passenger side on the same side of the street as the school. This reduces their exposure to passing vehicle. Walk a block. If you can, choose to park a little farther from the school and walk the rest of the way with your children. It helps reduce traffic congestion near the school and ensures children know how to safely walk to school. Stop your engine in the winter. When stopping near a school in winter, turn off your engine, even if you're only parked briefly. Exhaust fumes create a visual obstruction, making it more difficult for drivers to see children near your vehicle and for children to see approaching traffic. Teach your children a few safety rules. Refresh your children's knowledge of school traffic safety rules each year. Remind them to use sidewalks and crosswalks, look both ways before crossing, stay alert and avoid distractions, texting or listening to music. Walking the route to school together before the first day can help identify safe crossings and potential hazards. Inspector Knelsen added: “There are many things we can do to help keep children safe on their way to and from school. But if I could ask drivers to do just one thing, it would be to slow down in school zones. Reduced speeds give you more time to react to the unexpected and can make all the difference when it comes to preventing a collision.”
