The Yorkton Terriers made a move that will have a major impact on their present and future by adding Justin Buzzeo and Jeremy Boyer from the Humboldt Broncos in a future considerations trade.When combined with Robbie Ciolfi, Brent Struble, Craig Eisenhut, and Clarke Breitkreuz; the Terriers now have two lines up front that are better than any other team in the SJHL.Don Chesney and Trent Cassan are showing a tremendous amount of faith in the current group to win a championship and now it's time for the fans to pay back their gratitude by showing up for the games.This club is going to score a lot of goals and it's going to be fun to watch.
Literally, these top six forwards are worth the price of admission.
When I was in New Brunswick over Christmas, I took full advantage of the 24-hour grocery store service that is available there.This is something I would love to see here in Yorkton.I know some of the big stores do it during the Christmas season only; but let's extend it to twelve months of the year.My reasons are extremely self-serving.I hate line-ups and, therefore, like the convenience of a quick trip to grap what I need.I also like that I don't have to do it right after work, thus, delaying my date with the couch by 45 minutes or so!
For those wondering, it sounds like the middle of the month for the re-opening of the McDonald's on Broadway Street.
As a rule, governments as well as the court do not like to intervene in one's religious beliefs.For example, there was a case in 1990 whereby an RCMP officer was permitted to wear a turban on the job.The man's fight for his religious right led to the removal of the federal ban prohibiting Sikhs in the RCMP from wearing turbans.However, on Monday, the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal rejected two proposals from the provincial government that would allow some or all marriage commissioners to refuse to perform a service involving gay or lesbian partners if it offended their religious beliefs.Apparently, some religious beliefs are more important than others?I could be misinterpreting, but that's the message I'm receiving from comparing these two rulings.
SARCAN Recycling will soon refuse to accept containers that have caps attached.It's not mandatory until April 1st; but they are trying to get the word out now so that there are no surprises when that date comes.Saskatchewan has one of the highest return rates in North America.84% of the containers purchased are returned, according to statistics.I wonder if that number is slightly off due to the Manitoba people that bring their empties into Saskatchewan.Manitoba doesn't (or didn't as of a couple of years ago) have a program like Saskatchewan and people at SARCAN admitted to me they are wise to what some of the crooks are trying to do; but it can be tough to prove.
A few years ago airlines started charging extra if your bags were too heavy.Now, they are charging for a second carry-on bag.Ordinarily, I would have a problem with this; but when you see what some folks try to get on the plane for 'carry-on' I think it's time to put measures in place to enforce the spirit of what's intended.Some people are given an inch so they take a mile.Therefore, we end up all getting the shaft eventually.
I have become more and more interested in Twitter.I am not a frequent poster; but it's become a huge source of news for me as I follow prominent news and sports makers.It's also an entertaining way to see what certain celebrities are up to if you can get one that posts his/her own stuff and doesn't have a publicist do it.Obviously being a sports guy, I like to see what the athletes have to offer.
The mass shooting in Tucson, Arizona over the weekend is disturbing on so many levels and it makes me so mad to know that no matter what punishment the shooter ends up getting; there is just no way to ever make things right.The shooter must have so little self-worth that sentencing him to life in prison or to be executed really has little impact on him.Meanwhile, there is no returning the six people that died to their families that struggle with such a senseless loss of life.
Nice person mentions this week to Linda Koroluk, Mike Haczkewicz, Steve Gibson, Rachel Kraynick, and Dean Brockman.
