Issac Watts. I have a Howie Meeker with Charlie Hodge foreword book by DAve Hodge. “Stop It There, Back It Up!” It covers 50 years of hockey. If you would like to read it, phone Neil. Spiritual Munching -Some of us look at other people who are different and see them as a pain i the neck. Others see such people as God’s precious children. Some see certain immigrants coming here ot Canada as a bad thing. Others see it as a chance to show love for some needy and seriously disadvantaged people. It’s all in the point of view. May we see things and people as through the eyes of our Lord. Something to think about!

A belated triple 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration was held for Arlene and John Cattell, Jack and Shirley Cleghorn, Bev and Mona Brooks. They all enjoyed riding in an extended Ford Limousine to Saskatoon and back to Asquith. Considering all the rain and hail storms across Saskatchewan we were lucky that it didn’t touch down here in our area of Asquith. Life’s Little Instruction Book -• Never order chicken-fried steak in a place that doesn’t have a jukebox. • Replace the batteries in smoke alarms every January 1. • Never say “My child would never do that!” • Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.

****PUBLIC NOTICE**** Please be advised that a two dimensional (2D) seismic exploration program is planned for the Saskatoon area (see map below).

The energy source is vibroseis (vibrator trucks) and the program will mainly be conducted on road allowance. We ask that you consider your safety as well as the safety of our workers. Please slow down around our worksites. If you would like more information, please contact our landowner liaison, Garry Wahl. Please note that unless you are contacted, your lands are not being entered. No private property will be accessed without prior consent.

Dehydration You put a lot of effort into keeping your yard quenched during the hot, dry summer, but are you giving your own body the same consideration? Know and watch for symptoms of dehydration: thirst, fatigue, headache, little or no urination, muscle weakness, dizziness and light headedness. Do not rely on thirst alone because you could already be dehydrated. The heat and humidity depletes your body’s reserve of water. Keep it filled by drinking fluids, especially water, throughout the day. For toll-free health information 24 hours a day.
