Prairie Sky Co-op Fuel Good Day to support organizations

When local residents fuel up at any Prairie Sky Coop Gas Bar on September 15, they will help support local organizations in communities. “With the support of our customers, Prairie Sky Co-op has donated more

than $43,000 back into our community through Fuel Good Day since 2017,” said Danielle Wahl, Member Relations Manager for Prairie Sky Co-op. “As Fuel Good Day celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, we’re hopeful we can bring

that total contribution close to $50,000.” Funds raised in Weyburn support the Weyburn Communithon, with proceeds distributed among eight local member agencies. These organizations provide essential programs

and services that help meet the needs of individuals and families throughout our community. On Fuel Good Day: • 10¢ per litre of fuel sold will be donated to three local community groups, including Weyburn Communithon Foundation, Milestone Public Library and Souris Valley Daycare. • 5¢ per pound of propane sold on September 15 will be donated. • $2 from every Extreme Car Wash purchased from September 9 to 15 will be contributed. • Additional in-store

promotions at our gas bar locations. Every dollar raised stays local, helping make a difference in the communities they serve. Join the Prairie Sky Co-op on September 15 and help turn everyday purchases into meaningful support for local causes. For the 10th year in a row, Co-op’s from across Western Canada will be donating money for every litre of petrol sold on this special day to a local charity or organization. “Fuel Good Day is a great example of how our

members and customers help make a meaningful difference right here at home every time they fuel up,” added Wahl. In 2025, the community helped raise $5,000 to these three groups: Young Fellows Park, Milestone SCC and Prairie Hills First Responders. In 2024, the community helped raise $4,800 to these three groups: Big Brothers Big Sisters of Weyburn, Milestone and Rural Volunteer Fire Department and Southeast Regional Library Lake Alma Branch.

The Canadian Mental Health Association of Weyburn will hold their ninth annual semi-colon tattoo event on Saturday, September 12 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tattoo artists Mark Kenway and Ryan Lokken will lend their talent and support to this meaningful community fundraiser, held at Under Your Skin Tattoos. Cost is $50 per person and 90 spots is the maximum for the day. The event aims to raise awareness, promote mental health and honour the strength, courage, and resilience represented by the semi-colon symbol. For

many, the semi-colon serves as a powerful reminder that their story is not over and that hope remains. The event also recognizes World Suricide Prevention Day which is on September 10. “Together, let’s break the stigma, encourage open conversations and support those affected by suicide. Every conversation matters. Every life matters,” said Tasha Collins, CMHA Weyburn Under Your Skin Tattoo has partnered with the CMHA Weyburn Branch on eight previous occasions. Together, Mark and Ryan

have completed 702 semicolon tattoos and donated $22,220 to support CMHA Weyburn local mental health programs, services, and initiatives. Their ongoing commitment to mental health awareness and community support continues to make a lasting impact. Each year, the artists complete as many tattoos as possible while creating opportunities for meaningful conversations about mental health. To book a tattoo, email Tasha Collins of the CMHA at tashac@cmhask.com, or phone 306-842-7959.

EDITORIAL Weyburn This Week

On our way home from Alta. By Trudy and Dale Buxton, Publishers of The Independent

Well coming out of Banff it would be easy just to stay on the number 1 highway, get to Calgary and head home, however there was still some sights to see and some highways that I haven’t driven on for a long time and one of those highways is highway 40, which heads south from the Trans-Canada Highway and goes around the one last bit of mountains before we head onto the prairies once again. Kananaskis is a massive 4,000 square kilometer park system, located about an hour west of Calgary, and features a more rugged look at the mountains and features beautiful lakes, mountain peaks for skiing, world championship golf and year round recreational activities that rival any other

parks in the Rockies, the difference is that this part of the Rockies is not as much into the commercialization and is much quieter. Did you know that Kananaskis Village is not a real village, it is a man-made unincorporated community that does not have any permanent residential properties and was strictly built by the Alberta Government for the main purpose of tourism and recreation. Kananaskis Village is owned solely by the Alberta Government and run within the administration of the Alberta Parks division, with the exception of the Mountain Lodge which is owned by Pomeroy Lodging. The Kananaskis Golf Course is one of the best rated golf courses in Canada is

also owned by the Alberta Government. This part of the Rockies has been a very popular spot when it comes to being used as a movie backdrop, some of the biggest movies shot here have been Blood Diamond and Brokeback Mountain with many other smaller projects either filmed a piece of or shot the whole movie in the mountains. Kananaskis has also hosted the G8 and G7 summits when leaders from around the world made their way into Alberta for discussions on foreign policy. The last interesting fact about the village is that you will not find a Tim Horton’s anywhere near the village, for that matter you won’t find any of the usual brands in the village. Continuing on around the mountain you will find that the most farming animals run free and you have to watch for cows, and what they leave behind, on the highway, along with many deer and some moose that wonder around. We were lucky enough to come up to a family of grizzlies alongside the highway, but we couldn’t get close enough for a good picture as the as the park rangers were watching out for them and kept us

away from the predators. After a great drive we come to the community of Longview, population at about 300 people. This village is on the edge of the Rockies and when you look back at the mountains you get the nicest view of the mountains in a “long view” that is how the community received its name. At one time Longview was nicknamed as Little New York, maybe because of the oil boom in the late 1930’s. In 1991 parts of the movie Unforgiven, starring Clint Eastwood was filmed in Longview, Tom Sellick also starred in a movie filmed in Longview along with parts of the movie Interstellar with Matthew McConaughey. Longview, other than the movies is famous for three things, the Twin Cities Hotel, in which they say is the most haunted hotel in Alberta, famous for over 40 distinct flavors of Beef Jerky and finally the famous Canadian country music icon Ian Tyson called Longview his home for many years. Join us next week as we continue on our adventures.

Opinion: Weaponizing potash against the U.S. could backfire

Submitted by Sylvain Charlebois Potash is Canada’s “pink gold”—one of the country’s most valuable natural resources and a cornerstone of global food production. With tensions escalating between Canada and the United States, some Canadians want Ottawa to impose a surtax on potash exports to the American market. The proposal appears compelling. The United States depends heavily on Canadian potash, a mined, potassium-rich mineral used in fertilizer to help crops grow. It is essential to the production of corn, wheat, soybeans and many other crops. If Washington targets Canadian industries, why shouldn’t Canada retaliate with a resource American farmers cannot easily do without? It sounds like leverage. In practice, it could become economic self-harm. Canada is the world’s largest potash exporter, and Saskatchewan possesses some of the richest and most economical deposits anywhere. The United States imports most of the potash it consumes, with Canada supplying roughly four-fifths of those imports. Geography, rail connections and decades of commercial integration make Canadian potash the most convenient and economical option for American agriculture. A Canadian surtax would therefore raise costs for U.S. fertilizer distributors and farmers, at least initially. But that does not mean Americans would absorb the entire cost. An export surtax is collected from the Canadian exporter. American buyers would immediately pressure Canadian producers to lower their selling prices to offset some—or eventually most—of the tax. Canadian companies would face a difficult choice: accept lower returns, lose sales or attempt to move millions of additional tonnes into overseas markets.

In the short term, Canada would possess considerable bargaining power. American farmers cannot instantly replace Canadian potash, particularly before a planting season. Prices would rise, fertilizer application could decline and agricultural margins would tighten. Some of these costs could ultimately travel through the food supply chain. Potash is only one component of farm expenses, so a 10 per cent surtax would not produce a corresponding 10 per cent increase in food prices. Nevertheless, higher fertilizer costs would add pressure to crop prices and eventually affect livestock feed, processed foods and grocery bills. The problem for Canada would emerge over time. The United States can buy potash elsewhere. Israel and Germany are possible suppliers, while Russia and Belarus remain significant global producers, although geopolitical restrictions complicate those relationships. Washington could also support additional domestic production and invest in alternative supply chains. Those options would be more expensive than buying from Saskatchewan. But once Canada deliberately makes its own product more expensive, alternatives begin to look more attractive. Canada already has a significant international marketing network through Canpotex, the offshore marketing and logistics company for Saskatchewan potash produced by Nutrien and Mosaic. Canpotex sells more than 15 million tonnes annually to over 40 countries. Its five largest markets—Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and Malaysia—account for approximately 75 per cent of its exports. Canada has therefore developed an impressive global customer base. But the real question is whether those markets could

suddenly absorb the enormous volume presently sold to the United States. Natural Resources Canada reports that the United States receives approximately 53 per cent of Canadian potash exports. Brazil receives about 14 per cent, while China accounts for roughly six per cent. Replacing the American market would require extraordinary growth in sales to countries such as Brazil, China, India, Indonesia and Malaysia. That cannot happen overnight. Potash is a globally traded commodity, but global demand does not automatically increase when Canada loses a customer. To sell substantially more abroad, Canadian producers would probably need to discount their product and displace Russian, Belarusian, Israeli or German suppliers. Those displaced tonnes could then be redirected toward the United States. The result would be an expensive global reshuffling. Canadian potash would travel farther and potentially sell for less, while competing potash would travel farther to reach American farms and sell for more. Rail congestion, port capacity, vessels, long-term contracts and freight costs would all matter. Canada would be surrendering the advantages of serving a large, nearby and deeply integrated customer. The economic damage would extend beyond potash companies. Lower sales and reduced producer margins would affect employment, investment, railway activity, provincial royalties and federal and provincial tax revenues. Saskatchewan would carry much of the burden for a policy designed in Ottawa. The United States would also almost certainly retaliate. Washington could select another Canadian industry with fewer alternatives and greater vulnerability. Once

strategic commodities are weaponized, escalation becomes difficult to control. There is also a serious legal problem. Article 2.15 of the Canada-United StatesMexico Agreement (CUSMA) prohibits a country from imposing an export tax on goods destined for another member unless the same tax is also applied when those goods are sold domestically. A surtax specifically targeting potash shipped to the United States would invite an immediate trade challenge. Canada’s dependence on the American market is a legitimate concern. We should expand port and rail capacity, cultivate customers in emerging economies and continue diversifying exports. But diversification is a long-term commercial strategy, not an emergency switch Ottawa can activate during a trade dispute. Our potash advantage is real. It gives Canada influence because American agriculture depends on a reliable and economical Canadian supply. But strategic leverage is most valuable when it strengthens our negotiating position. Once deployed recklessly, it can encourage customers to find substitutes and permanently weaken the relationship that created the leverage in the first place. A potash surtax might deliver a satisfying political headline. It would certainly create short-term pain for American farmers. But over time, much of the bill would return to Canada through lower producer revenues, lost investment, reduced royalties and retaliation. Potash is Canada’s pink gold. Ottawa should treat it as a strategic national asset—not tax it until our best customer starts looking elsewhere.

Ministerial Message: An amazing body for a good life

Submitted by Rev. Doug Loden Calvary Baptist Church. Psalm 139 was written by King David roughly 3,000 years ago. Its message can be one of healing for very many people. In every high school, university and most homes in North America very many women think, my body is not good enough. For some this is a minor distraction, for others, it’s a crushing thought. Some men are greatly bothered, thinking, my body isn’t good enough. There is another difficult situation for many young men in high schools, universities and homes, across North America. They don’t have a sense of purpose in life. The words of David in Psalm 139 have the possibility of bringing peace and purpose to very many people. Verses 1-4 David says, God knows me. He knows everything

I do, everywhere I go, He even knows all the words that I say. David’s words are also for you. His meaning, God knows you. He knows everything you do, everywhere you go, everything you think and every word you say. He knows you completely. Next, in verses 5-12, David says, God is with me. He says that God is behind me, and in front of me. He is so close that He has His hand upon my shoulder. He says that I cannot get away from God. If I go up to the heavens or down in the deepest mine, God is there. If I go far away to the East, or far away to the West, even there, God’s hand will guide me. God’s hand will hold onto me. Even in the darkness, I cannot get away from God. God is always with me. His message is for us as well. God is with you. He is behind you and in front of you. He is so close that He has His hand on your shoulder. It’s an amazing thing that the God who created the universe is with you. You cannot go east or west, north or south to get away from

God because He is there. You cannot hide from God, even in the darkness God is with you. Next, in verses 13-18 David says, God made me. God created my inmost being. David speaks of his body. I praise you because I am wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. He knows that all of God‘s creation is amazing, and that God has given him a wonderful amazing body. David had a strong sense of purpose in his life, All the days ordained for me were written in your book. David writes that God had a plan for his life, a plan that was written out in a book, David explains how he came to know and follow God’s plan for his life. He says, How precious to me are your thoughts. How vast is the sum of them. He explains that the thoughts of God are more numerous than the grains of sand on the beach. In a handful of sand there are thousands of grains of sand, and there are thousands of handfuls of sand. The thoughts of God are so numerous that they can never be counted. It was

thinking the thoughts of God that kept David on God’s plan for his life. How do these words help people today? Very many women in school, university and homes think, My body is not good enough. David understood his body was wonderfully made by God. If women would believe these words, that their body is wonderfully made, just like all things that God made are wonderful and amazing, then they wouldn’t believe the people who say, Your body is not good

enough. They wouldn’t believe their thoughts, My body is not good enough. They would think, No. God gave me this body, His amazing creativity went into my body. For the men who have no sense of purpose in life. David understood that his life was planned by God, even written in a book. God has a plan for the life of every young man and every young woman. The task is to find that purpose. David shows the way, How precious to me are your thoughts. David spent time

reflecting on the thoughts of God, on the words of God and the thoughts of God guided him in the life that God had planned for him. Hear the words of David and let the words of David touch your heart deeply. Each one of us has a purpose ordained by God, and the way we find that purpose is by reflecting on the words of God, the thoughts of God. This Psalm 139 with amazing words from roughly 3000 years ago, can be powerful words of healing for people today.

WCS Eagles football dominate over Elecs

Submitted A great start to the season for the Weyburn Comp Eagles football team. After a strong first week of practice, the Eagles showed they were ready for the season with a 46-0 win over the visiting Estevan Elecs during a home

game held August 29. All three parts of the game went well on week one. The defense held strong with the shut out and had two interceptions made by Cole Payak and Cayson Moule. The special teams covered well, hit three out of four field goals and Pay-

ak recorded a punt return touchdown. The offense moved the ball smoothly and scored on all attempts, but one drive in the first half. Key touchdowns were scored from Max Vennard and Payak. The Eagles will host the A.E. Peacock during a Fri-

day night lights game at the Brent Allin Field on Friday, September 4 at 7 p.m. The annual Friday night lights game is held in the support of Weyburn Minor football. Gate entry is $5 for adults and all students and young children can enter for free.

Cricket Club develops a successful league

Submitted by the Weyburn Cricket Club About six years ago, members of the Weyburn Cricket Club started playing cricket in Weyburn with just a few players. Since then, the cricket community has continued to grow, and today they have three teams with 12 players on each team. This year, for the first time, a cricket league and tournament was organized in Weyburn and it was a huge success. There were three teams that participated, with around 35 players in total. “The response from the community was very encouraging, and we are already looking forward to growing the league next year,” said Rejeesh Varghese, with the Weyburn Cricket Club. “We are hoping to have

a few teams from Regina join us as well.” Weyburn also has an established cricket team, the Weyburn Vikings, which is registered with the Weyburn Cricket Association and participates in the Regina Cricket Association league each year. One of the biggest challenges they currently face is that Weyburn does not have a dedicated cricket ground. Recently, the Weyburn Cricket Club connected with Richard Henning from the City of Weyburn regarding the possibility of developing a cricket ground in the community. The Regina Cricket Association and Saskatchewan Cricket Association have also expressed their willingness to support the development of a cricket ground in Weyburn.

“Having a cricket g r o u n d i n We y b u r n would be a major step forward for the sport in our community,” said Varghese. “It could become the home ground for the Weyburn Vikings and allow teams from Regina and surrounding communities to come to Weyburn to play RCA matches.”

Weyburn is a growing and diverse community with a strong interest in multi-sport activities. The Weyburn Cricket Club believes developing a cricket ground would not only support the local cricket community, but also provide another opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to get involved in sport.

Falcons, Ravens start minor football season

Submitted The season started on the weekend for two Weyburn Minor Football teams. U14 Young Fellows Falcons The U14 Young Fellows Falcons had an electric start to their season, with a little bit of thunder and lightning delay in a home game at the Brent Allin Field against the Moose Jaw Vikings. The Falcons started out a little slow as is expected early on in the season. The first quarter had the Vikings jump to a 20-0 lead. Early in the second quarter, the Falcons were forced by nature to seek shelter and wait out some impressive lightning. Following the delay the Falcons came out to the field firing. The Falcons defence made it tough on their run heavy offence with some big time tackles. Meanwhile the offence found its rhythm and was able to put up several sustained drives into the red zone. Third down gambles proved unsuccessful holding us off the score board. The Falcons crew showed steady improvement as the game progressed and seemed to be even better as the rain started pouring. Players of the game were Logan Payak, offensive; Connor Metz, defensive; Mac Hillstead, playmaker of the game; Dextin Linnen, offensive line; and Dierks Schneider, special teams The Falcons will be heading to Swift Current for an afternoon skirmish against the Steelers on Sat-

urday, September 5. U12: West Country Ravens The U12 West Country Ravens also officially kicked off their season on the road in Moose Jaw to face the Lions. With a young team taking the field for their first game of the season, the Ravens battled through a tough first half. They came back out in the second half determined and motivated, settled into the game and showcased some great football. Declan Graefer made some great throws as quarterback, including a connection with Ethan Kirkpatrick for positive yardage. Bryce Bell also had some strong quarterback keeps and worked hard to move the ball. The Ravens offensive line stepped up with some big blocks, creating opportunities and helping the offence gain ground. On defence, Landon Jackson and Brooks Schneider came up with some great tackles, while the entire Ravens defence continued to battle and make plays. Lots to build on as the season continues. This is a young group with a lot of football ahead of them, and the coaching staff are excited to watch them continue to learn, grow and come together as a team. Ravens take to Elks Field in Moose Jaw to face up against the Lions again on Saturday, September 5 at 5:30 p.m.

RM of Estevan honours Dennis Blackburn with road tribute

SaskToday A portion of Range Road 2093 is now recognized as Dennis Blackburn Road in honour of the former RM of Estevan councillor’s 15 years of service. The reeve, council members and municipal staff gathered roadside with Blackburn on Aug. 26 to mark the recognition, according to a Facebook post from the municipality. Blackburn represented Division 3 residents from 2005 to 2020. “Recognizing this por-

tion of Range Road 2093 as ‘Dennis Blackburn Road’ is a meaningful way to acknowledge and celebrate Dennis’s commitment, dedication, and contribution to our community throughout his years on council,” the RM said in the post. The recognition does not change the road’s official municipal name, which remains Range Road 2093. The municipality described the designation as a lasting tribute to Blackburn’s service.

Lucky duck fetches $15,000 at annual duck derby

SaskToday The Judy Martin Memorial Duck Derby continues to generate lots of interest and support for the Estevan Humane Society (EHS). The organization held the annual fundraiser Aug. 30 south of the city. Four

thousand rubber ducks were dropped from the Highway 47 bridge into the Souris River. The ducks then floated a short distance down the river towards the finish line, with the first to arrive being the winner. It took about 14 minutes to complete the race.

Each duck had a number inscribed, and Mathew Baker - the person whose ticket number matched the winning duck - won the $15,000 prize. People gathered at the free park in Woodlawn Regional Park for the derby. Several other ac-

tivities were held in conjunction with the event, including a barbecued lunch. The duck derby is one of the top fundraisers of the year for the EHS. Proceeds will be directed towards day-to-day expenses at the humane society’s shelter.

SaskToday Estevan Fire Rescue Service (EFRS) responded to nine calls from August 24-30, including several fires, two vehicle rollovers and a two-vehicle collision. Deputy Fire Chief of Operations and Training Kyle Luc provided details about the calls in the fire service’s weekly report. On August 24, EFRS responded to a camper fire south of Estevan. Firefighters extinguished the blaze without incident, and no injuries were reported. The fire was not considered suspicious. Later that day, crews responded to a single-vehicle rollover west of Frobisher. Firefighters conducted traffic control and assisted other agencies at the scene. On August 25, EFRS responded to a semi rollover west of Estevan. Crews assisted the RCMP and conducted traffic control while debris was cleaned up and the truck was removed from the scene. Firefighters responded to commercial fire alarms in south Estevan on August 26. Crews worked with the Estevan Police Service to determine the cause, and the incident remains under investigation.

On August 27, EFRS responded to a combine and field fire north of Estevan. Crews extinguished the blaze and remained at the scene for approximately 2 1/2 hours. Firefighters were called to a structure fire in east Estevan on August 28. A fire was located underneath a mobile home. Crews extinguished the blaze and ensured it had not extended into other areas before clearing the scene. Later that day, EFRS responded to a two-vehicle collision in northeast Estevan. Crews assisted other agencies and ensured fluids and debris were cleaned up and the vehicles were de-energized. On August 29, firefighters responded to a reported grass fire in south Estevan that was caused by a lightning strike. When crews arrived, they determined the rain had extinguished the fire. EFRS responded to a reported fuel spill east of Estevan on August 30. When the duty officer arrived, it was determined that a truck had broken down and was parked over a puddle. A passerby had mistakenly believed the puddle was spilled fuel.

Theft, badger and driving complaints for Estevan police

SaskToday Estevan Police Service members were kept busy responding to calls for service from August 28-30. On August 28, EPS received a report of an erratic driver approaching Estevan on Highway 39W. Members located the vehicle travelling 111 km/h in the 80 km/h zone. Based on these observations and a statement provided by the complainant, the driver was issued a ticket for driving without due care and attention. In another incident, an investigation that was initiated in mid-August into an assault causing bodily harm resulted in the 35-year-old male suspect being arrested during a traffic stop on day shift. The man was remanded in custody and will appear in Estevan Provincial Court on August 31 to speak to the charge. A complaint of a customer accusing staff at a west-end business of stealing $50 from her and then assaulting an employee with a cup before driving away was received. The matter remains under investigation and a suspect has been identified. A two-vehicle collision was attended to by patrol members at the intersection

of Kensington Avenue and King Street. Both vehicles were no longer driveable and were towed from the scene. The matter remains under investigation. A report of several youth using fake identification cards at a downtown liquor establishment was investigated during the night shift. Members spoke with several youth on scene and issued one male youth a ticket under the Alcohol Gaming Regulations for using fraudulent identification. He was subsequently released to his parents. Multiple compliance checks were conducted on individuals bound by courtordered conditions during the night shift. All those checked were found to be complying with their respective conditions. Also on August 28, a report of a break and enter at a residence in the city centre area was investigated after a landlord observed a light on in the home after having evicted renters several days prior. Members attended the scene and cleared the buildings, including the use of a drone to enter a loft area. No one was located on scene and no damage to the residence was observed. On August 29, EPS received a report of an

individual breaching courtordered conditions by attending a prohibited residence. The man was located at that residence and subsequently arrested, charged and released with a future court date to speak to the matter. A report of a badger being observed underneath a neighbour’s concrete steps was received. There was no imminent danger and the matter was referred to Estevan conservation officers for additional followup. Police conducted a wellbeing check on a man at the request of family members. Members located the individual and spoke with him, and confirmed that he was safe and not in need of support from any available resources. A report of a vehicle bumping into a pedestrian while they were crossing the roadway was received. No injuries occurred as a result of the contact. Statements were obtained and the matter remains under investigation. A traffic stop during the day shift resulted in the 61-year-old male driver from Estevan being arrested for impaired driving after he showed signs of impairment and failed a roadside breath test. He was

Celebrating birthdays Hey Dads! Have you hosted a birthday party lately? Maybe your kids are older and those parties and games are behind you. Maybe your kids are still young and get excited about balloons. With 10 kids in our home we have a birthday almost every month. Sometimes no party, sometimes just some family over, sometimes a multiple-group-birthday party. A few weeks ago we had a party for Arrow, our 8th child, for his 8th birthday. He had a list of friends he wanted to invite. If you’ve been around 8-year-old boys you’re probably familiar with LEGO, Nerf guns, and water guns. Arrow’s party had all of those things and more. As we got ready for the big event there were buckets being filled with water, tables being moved outside and children climbing trees and ladders to hang balloons for a game. I was not informed about this balloon hanging and popping game until the party started and my patient wife instructed me to go facilitate the balloon popping game. It was a simple game for a simple man so I got right to it. Along with Nerf guns there are these other Nerf Vortex things that you may have seen. They are like a small foam football with a tail and fins. You throw the projectiles (like a football), the tail fins keep it straight (like an arrow), and sometimes they make a whistling sound (like a whistle). We picked a few up at the dollar store for the balloon popping game. The rules, as previously stated, were quite simple. Throw the vortex-footbally missile at the balloons hanging in the tree and pop as many as you can. We had not tested this game so the results were less than optimal. Yes, a few

balloons popped but not too many. We need sharper footbally things! This was the moment for dad to shine. Throwing sharp objects happens to be one of my favorite things to do (and I watch Dude Perfect vids on YouTube with the kids). We needed thumbtacks! Tape them to the front of the footbally things with the points sticking out and let the popping proceed! Did we have any thumbtacks? No! Did we have staples? Yes! And they worked almost as good…until they fell off into the grass somewhere (We’ll look for them later. Wear shoes kids.). Birthday boy Arrow brought some toothpicks out and had the genius idea to jam them into the foamy front end of the footbally things. Great idea! Balloons were popping. Since I was the guy standing by the balloons returning the footbally things to the kids I had to really keep my head in the game. For now it was an extreme sport of avoiding getting impaled by pointy projectiles. The new system wasn’t completely foolproof. Tiny wood toothpicks may snap when they slam into tree trunks but by this point most of the balloons were popped and kids were wandering off to play other games and such. It was a great birthday, dad! Maybe there’s something you can toss around the yard with the kids. I don’t recommend sharp, pointy objects but a regular football or baseball would suffice. Time flies, dad! Make every moment count! Even the pointy ones. Jason Weening tries to avoid injury when his 10 kids and one patient wife throw things at him.

transported to EPS, where he provided samples of breath with readings of 100 mg% and 90 mg%. He was charged, processed and subsequently released and will appear in Estevan Provincial Court at a future date to speak to the matter. During the night shift, EPS members responded to a domestic disturbance in the Eastend area of Estevan. Through the investigation, it was determined that an assault had occurred, which resulted in the arrest of a 47-year-old woman and a 25-year-old woman. Both were charged and subsequently released on conditions with future court dates set to speak to the matter. EPS members conducted a well-being check on a woman after her spouse reported receiving a text from an unknown individual stating that they had found her phone in a valley. The woman was found to be safe and well, and not in need of assistance. Also on August 29, several reports of a grossly intoxicated man causing a disturbance south of Estevan were received. Members attended and located the male subject and arrested him for being intoxicated in public. To ensure his safety, he was lodged in cells and will be released once sober and able to care for himself.

On August 30, EPS members observed an individual actively breaching a court-ordered condition by having contact with a second person. The subject was intoxicated at the time of contact with police and was arrested and lodged in cells to appear in Estevan Provincial Court on August 31. Police responded to several calls regarding a separating couple who were involved in a property dispute. Officers attended and kept the peace while the former couple dealt with the property, and no further issues occurred while police were on scene. EPS members investigated a report of a sexual assault of a youth, reported to have occurred earlier in the month. As a result of the investigation, a 36-yearold man was arrested and charged with sexual assault, sexual interference and distributing sexually explicit images to a minor. He was lodged in cells to appear in court on August 31 to speak to the charges. In another incident, a two-vehicle collision was reported in which one of the vehicles was registered in another province. No injuries were reported, no tow truck was required and alcohol was not a factor. The parties exchanged information, and EPS completed a

collision report to be forwarded to SGI. The RCMP located a vehicle reported stolen out of Estevan earlier in the month that had been damaged and abandoned. An EPS forensic identification officer processed the vehicle and located several items of physical evidence which may assist in identifying those involved in the theft. The matter remains under investigation. E P S m e m b e r s r esponded to a complaint of a woman causing a disturbance at the hospital. On arrival, members observed that the woman appeared to be under the influence of drugs and was acting erratically. To prevent a continuation of the disturbance, the woman was arrested for being intoxicated in public and lodged in cells until sober. A complaint of a burglar alarm at a local financial business was attended to by EPS members. The building was cleared, no damage was observed and no one was found on scene. Also on August 30, EPS responded to a 911 call from a woman who had consumed illicit drugs and, as a result, was frightened for her well-being. Members located the woman in the Eastend area of Estevan and transported her to the hospital for assessment.
