Kindersley RCMP welcome more businesses to ‘Etch It and Catch It’ program While catalytic converter thefts continue to be a problem in the province, Kindersley RCMP rolled out a theft prevention program in the spring to help deter thefts in the area named ‘Etch It and Catch It’. The idea behind the program is local automotive businesses offer to etch the last 8 digits of a vehicles vehicle identification number (VIN) onto the catalytic converter. This will assist in deterring these types of thefts and also give the RCMP a chance to charge individuals who have stolen converters in their possession.

Since the programs launch several new businesses have stepped forward to participate including: • K and S Tire in Eston • Owens and Sweitzer in Eston • Expert Paint and Body in Eston • OK Tire in Kindersley This is in addition to the already participating businesses in Kindersley including: • Energy Dodge • Fountain Tire • Integra Tire • Kindersley Mainline King of Trucks • Tisdale Ford “It is great to see this program grow and

306-463-3977 ttttttttttttttttt you know that when they built the Boundary Dam Unit 3 Integrated Carbon Capture Project, they built a cooling tower similar to the one at Shand Power Station?

Why? I asked. Because they weren’t allowed to put any more heat into Boundary Dam, even though it was a reservoir built for this purpose, and not a natural lake. So that has me wondering if smaller bodies, like Boundary or Alameda, could ever get the nod.

Some earthmuffin could say you’re disturbing the natural balance or something, even though all three southeast locations under consideration are manmade.

And I don’t think Boundary Dam will fly, either. There’s no room for it. Each reactor requires a complete quarter of land, so we need a half section of undisturbed land. And the western side of the reservoir has been largely mined, as has the northeast side. The south end of the reservoir has a pile of very expensive homes, owned by some of the wealthiest people in the region. People with money for lawyers. Lots of lawyers. People who might get a severe case of Not In My Back Yard (NIMBY) if someone decides to plop a nuclear reactor on the other side of the lake, blocking their beautiful sunset.

So that leaves Rafferty. It has a lot more water volume than either Boundary Dam or Alameda. It has a really long shoreline with almost no one living on it except for Mainprize Regional Park. And a lot of the land touching it is so rocky as to be essentially worthless.

A good chunk of that land already belongs to the province.

As major highway access is a key consideration, then the north side of Rafferty is the obvious choice. The main transmission lines between Boundary Dam, Shand and Regina run on that side of the reservoir. And there’s 40 kilometres between Mainprize and the Rafferty Dam, so there’s plenty of options to choose from that give water, transmission line, close highway access and proximity to Estevan. My

Make Apple-Head Puppets for Fall Fun If you find a few soft, bruised apples hiding behind the pickle and mayo jars in the back of your refrigerator, or discover some cast-offs at your local orchard or farmer’s market, consider them perfect for this activity. Peel, carve and dry them for apple-head puppets. And, skip the Botox. The more wrinkles they have, the better!

Here’s the stuff you’ll need for a

puppet: 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 tablespoon salt 1 apple, peeled Wooden ice-cream or craft stick Pumpkin carving knife or paring knife Whole cloves, apple seeds, beans or rice to fill facial features First, stir together the lemon juice and salt in a small bowl. Roll the peeled apple in the lemon mixture until it is completely covered. Remove it and pat dry. Insert a wooden stick into the bottom of the apple.

Hold the stick in your hand and carefully carve out eyes, nose, ears and a mouth.

An adult may need to assist younger children with this. Poke cloves or rice into the cutouts to retain the shapes.

Dry the apple in an oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit for 4-5 hours. Leave the door slightly ajar. The fruit will harden and shrink as it dries. Or, you may partially oven-dry for an hour or two, then let it

air-dry for several days. With no oven heat at all, it will take about two weeks to dry them in a dry place, but not in direct sunlight. You will no doubt be amazed at the dramatic, shrunken transformation!

Decorate the dried apple head with colorful raffia or ribbon for hair, trinkets for the ears and nose, and painted details for the mouth and cheeks. Gather fabric and tie, or hand-sew, around the top of the stick to make the puppet’s body and clothing. For arms, glue two extra sticks to the main stick, extending outward.

Ready-made doll clothes and accessories can embellish the look you wish to create, too.

While you are at it, make several puppets, such as a smiling clown, an alien or a princess. Let your kids give them names and present an apple-head puppet

A creative way to make fall-themed puppets is to use bruised apples. show by holding onto the stick inside the clothing to maneuver the character.

TIP: When not in use, poke the main stick into a block of florist foam so that the puppets stand upright and provide a whimsical decoration for your child’s room. *** Find more family fun at www.donnaerickson.com.
