Fugitive suspect in Saskatchewan stabbing rampage is dead www.cbc.ca - The main suspect in the recent stabbing rampage in Saskatchewan has died shortly after being captured, multiple sources have confirmed to CBC News.

Myles Sanderson was arrested Wednesday afternoon and was taken into police custody near Rosthern, Sask., at about 3:30 p.m. CST Wednesday, according to RCMP. Around 3:00 p.m. CST, Saskatchewan RCMP issued an emergency alert about a person with a knife travelling in a vehicle, last seen in Wakaw, about 90 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon.

RCMP told people in the Wakaw area to seek shelter immediately and shelter in place. They warned people to be cautious about letting others into their residence, to not approach suspicious persons or pick up hitchhikers.

The stabbing rampage left 10 people dead and another 18 injured in 13 different crime scenes in the James Smith Cree Nation area and in the nearby village of Weldon, Sask.

Man says Sanderson broke into his mother’s house, stole her vehicle CBC News spoke with a man who says Sanderson broke into his mother’s rural property, about 30 kilometres north of Wakaw, on Wednesday around 2 p.m. CST, less that two hours before his arrest.

CBC has agreed not to name the woman or her son because she was the victim of an alleged crime. The woman is extremely shaken up by what happened, according to her son.

The son said his mother, a widow, saw Sanderson walk up to the front door, so she locked it and ran to the bathroom in her bedroom.

The son said Sanderson kicked down the front door and went into the bedroom. The son said Sanderson was armed with a knife, but told the woman that he wouldn’t hurt her.

Sanderson took the keys to the woman’s truck, along with her cellphone, cigarettes, water and a Pepsi, the son said.

Sanderson asked the woman to go with him, according to her son, but she refused.

When Sanderson left the property, the woman called RCMP using a landline, the son said.

Immense relief Before news of his death, people expressed immense relief that Sanderson was caught.

Darryl Burns, brother of Lydia Gloria Burns, a front-line worker who died in the rampage, said the family can now prepare for his sister’s return and is planning a wake for her tonight.

The Saskatoon Tribal Council (STC) also said in a statement before the arrest that it’s relieved Sanderson has been arrested.

“Now people can start to feel safe again but also now is the time for healing to begin,” said STC Chief Mark Arcand, who lost his sister and nephew in the attacks.

Dennis Helmuth, mayor of Rosthern, which is about six kilometres from where the arrest was made, told CBC News Network the town is feeling some comfort today.

“Mostly a feeling of relief and I think incredible sadness is going to become dominant as we continue to come to grips with what has happened in our province,” he said.

Saying “Thank You” to Summer Say, “Thank you.” Those two important words are so embedded in us as children that we continue to pass the gesture of politesse to the next generation as part of the social drill.

My mom was no exception. At a young age, she taught me to get in step every year when my great-aunt Miriam sent me a birthday card with crisp $1 bills inside, equaling to my years.

Since she lived miles away, I couldn't just “say” thank you. Instead, Mom shared her stationery and showed me how to write, address and stamp a handwritten note to my great-aunt.

Sure, it’s easier nowadays to give thanks with an email or a text, but the handwritten word does so much more. Expressing gratitude with pen on paper says something about how the thankful person went out of his or her way to do something extra special.

That’s why Wendy Brown, former video producer and mom of three, is passionate about handwritten thank-you notes. She started her inspiring blog and unique, online paper goods boutique dedicated to the art of handwriting (www.brownink.com).

At the age of five, her mom gave her personalized stationary, and she was hooked. To this day, her prized possessions are shoeboxes filled with letters to and from family, notes to friends and travel journals. “There has never been a more important time to slow

down and relish the power in handwriting and the excitement of receiving a note, especially one that says, ‘Thanks,’” she says.

Here are two ideas for doing just that with young kids, as they reflect and write personalized thank-you notes of appreciation to summer camp counselors, coaches, relatives and friends.

— Preschoolers: Set out a piece of paper, fold it in half and let your preschooler stamp or attach stickers of images on the front side of the paper that are symbolic of things they enjoyed doing with the recipients, such as eating ice cream cones, going to the beach or catching fish off a dock.

Prompt your child to dictate a thankyou message that you write inside.

— School-age kids: Young school-

Wendy helps her kids write a thankyou note to their grandparents. age kids will have fun choosing and printing out their favorite summer photos from your computer and gluing the small prints on paper. Encourage them to write words around each photo, describing the activities they did together with the person they are thanking. Show them how to sign, address and stamp the envelope. *** Find more family fun at www.donnaerickson.com.

At the moment SaskPower hit its most recent summer peak electricity demand record, this is where the power was coming from, in megawatts. Graphic courtesy SaskPowerSaskatchewan has just started to build out grid-scale solar power. However, what is in place wasn’t putting out much during the moment of peak consumption on Aug. 31. At that time, with the sun lower in the sky, just five megawatts was coming from solar faculties. SaskPower lists 20 megawatts of nameplate capacity between two grid-scale facilities, and another 49 from “Customer generated solar capacity.” It is unclear if that five megawatts was from just the two grid-scale facilities, or all solar combined.

Coal, however, was producing the most power in Saskatchewan, at 1390 megawatts. That’s actually one megawatt more than the combined listed capacity of SaskPower’s three coal facilities, according to SaskPower’s grid map.

Natural gas was second, at 1,231 megawatts. As our total natural gas capacity is 2,160 megawatts, there was still some additional capacity.
