Cheers to the young man from Dun Rite Glass who treated us so kindly when

our car stalled on main street.

Cheers to the motorists who honk when they drive past football practice at Chow Field! Support comes in all

forms!

Cheers to the cute guy at Timmies who was concerned about my car when I

smoked the curb!

Cheers to all the school bus drivers in the Southeast Cornerstone School

weather conditions, they deserve a big thank you!

Cheers to the staff at the museum. They did a great job entertaining the residents of LTC of St. Joe’s Hospital

on a recent visit during Senior Appreciation Day!

Cheers to great weather for the opening weekend of Estevan Minor Football

games.

The Estevan CCA Rodeo is just around the corner and the local rodeo grounds have undergone some signifi cant upgrades since last year.

The rodeo is schedule for Sept. 7 to 9 this year and everyone can expect some changes at the rodeo grounds.

Competitors will be happy with the changes as the Estevan Exhibition Association has redone the grounds and replaced all the perimeter fencing. Fans will also be happy as the west side bleachers have had all their planks replaced.

Dallas Spencer, Este-van Exhibition Association president, said he is looking forward to another success-ful rodeo this year.

Last year the event was moved from July to September and Spencer said they were looking to return to the summer for this year.

“We wanted to move the rodeo back to the sum-mer this year, but we had trouble booking a stock contractor for the dates we wanted,” he said. “Hope-fully next year, we will be back to running in the summer.”

Although they didn’t get the date they original wanted, Spencer is optimis-tic about the rodeo this year.

“Last year we were re-ally happy with the rodeo,” he said. “We lucked out with some great weather and had one of our best audiences ever.”

In addition to having another good audience this year, Spencer said the benefi t of having the rodeo in the fall is that it is one of the last one’s of the year.

“We are expecting a good turnout for com-petitors as there is only one other rodeo that weekend,” he said. “And being one of the last rodeos of the year, people are anxious to get out and get their last rides in.”

The rodeo will start Sept. 7 with a parade at 4 p.m. The cowboys and cowgirls in the Cana-dian Cowboys Association (CCA) will then start to compete Friday (Sept. 7) and continue on Saturday. As always, the weekend will wrap-up with the Ranchers Rodeo Sept. 9.

It has been a busy year for the Estevan Exhibition Association as they have been planning the rodeo since March. Throw into the mix all the renovations the group has done, and it has required a lot of dedicated volunteers.

Spencer said the work at the grounds has taken up a lot of time.

“We get the same people out here every year helping out,” he said. “I don’t know what will hap-pen if any of them ever leave.”

The changes to the grounds will be great, but the association has made other changes to the rodeo this year.

During intermission at the rodeo, there will be a trick rider to entertain the fans. Spencer said they have had one in previous years and decided to bring it back.

There will also be a food vendor open at the exhibition grounds to feed all the hungry fans and participants.

Spencer is hoping for another great crowd at the rodeo this year and encour-ages everyone to attend.

“Come out and enjoy the weekend,” he said. “And get in one last summer weekend.”

T i m e t o cowboy up for Estevan RodeoJeers to all those who think it’s OK

to throw their paper cups, fast food containers, etc . . . anywhere they want. Littering just makes for an undesirable

landscape.

Jeers to people who don’t slow down when passing walkers on a gravel road.

Please be considerate of others who are sharing the road with you.

Jeers to people who don’t use their turn signals. Should I just guess which way

you are going?

Jeers to the lack of options, to date, for the upcoming civic election. Let’s actually make this an interesting race.

Jeers to whoever had the audacity to dig my potatoes out of my garden in

Midale.

Nothing could stop Aaron Turnbull from taking home his second season championship with the impeachable lead he had.

Except for a disquali-fi cation.

Turnbull’s involve-ment in an incident with fellow drivers Joey Gal-loway and Mason Big Eagle would cost him the Estevan Motor Speedway modifi ed title during the track’s championship night on Aug. 25.

That meant that Turn-bull’s brother, Tyson, won the season points title.

In a tiff that continued from the previous night’s races, Turnbull and Gal-loway collided hard on the front stretch. Turnbull then rammed Galloway’s car, and Big Eagle proceeded to slam into Turnbull from behind.

Big Eagle and Gal-loway both race out of the

same operation in Manor.“Nobody wants to be

the guy who didn’t get the last push or shove in,” said Speedway past-president David Mack. “It started Friday night, but I think (the feud) started many races before that.”

The drivers did not comment on the incident.

Mack explained that the disqualifi cations were standard procedure and that no distinction was made regarding the drivers’ roles in the dustup.

“In a nutshell, the three cars were DQ’d. Think of it as fi ve minutes for fi ghting and a game mis-conduct. Everybody that was involved got the same penalty,” he said.

Ed Turnbull won the feature easily, moving out in front early on and win-ning by almost half a lap.

“We’ve had an excel-lent season. I think that’s

around 15 wins between the three of us. I don’t think we’ve ever had a year like this before,” Ed said.

Tyson Turnbull en-tered the night in third place in the standings, 31 points behind his brother — math-ematically eliminated un-der normal circumstances. Allen Kent was second at the start of the evening but didn’t start the feature.

Aaron Turnbull wound up tied for second with Mike Hagen, eight points behind Tyson.

“It was defi nitely a bit of a surprise, yeah,” Tyson said. “Honestly, I hadn’t looked at the points all year until the end of the race Saturday, when they told me there was a possibility I might end up with the championship.”

He started Saturday’s feature at the back in 25th and managed to advance all the way up to second.

“I just found the right holes to get around those guys. Usually I’m real patient, but I really didn’t waste any time with any-body,” Tyson said. “Usu-ally I’m not real good through traffi c like that, that’s kind of my brother’s specialty.”

Rocky Alexander hung on to win his third straight stock car championship, fi nishing second in Satur-day’s feature. Challenger Kelly Henderson, who wound up six points be-hind, was right on his tail in third place.

Robby Rosselli won the race, taking the lead after J.J. Barnstable lost control on the 12th lap.

In the hobby stock class, it was Gary Goudy Sr. claiming the season championship, overcoming a seven-point defi cit to take the title away from Blaine Durward.

Drama intervenes at season fi naleJ.J. Barnstable (1) and Geoff Mann run side-by-side during the race program at Estevan Motor Speedway on Aug. 25.

The times have changed from when my grandparents and even parents were young and stupid.

Some things that were once accept-able are now taboo, while others that were covered up and tucked into the closet with shame are now shining in the limelight. The ubiquity of sex in our culture is some-thing that didn’t exist 70 years ago when my grandparents were born; at least that’s what I’ve learned from the history books. Some may say it’s hedonistic, while oth-ers would argue the evolution has been a removal of the shackles.

I love talking to my grandpa about his old party stories. He will talk about how in high school the police would tell the school dance organizers they would be doing a raid that night. The police let them know just so everybody else would know they were coming. He said the po-lice would show up and as long as they didn’t see any bottles of contraband, they would leave quietly.

“They didn’t want to see it,” he tells me.

Those rascals of the ’50s I say!After the dance, everybody drove

home. Nobody saw any problem with that. It was a sign of the times.

My great uncle Doug used to measure distances with beers instead of actual

distances or time, which we frequently use. He was drinking as he drove.

“It’s two beers to Blyth. It’s fi ve beers to Listowel.”

That’s what my grandfather will tell me, usually with a little chuckle of nos-talgia for the good ’ol days.

Because I grew up with people always telling me drinking and driving kills people, it’s something I don’t take lightly.

As the Mercury court reporter, twice a week I see just how many people in the community answer to charges of impaired driving. It’s probably the same in every other community across the country. Impaired driving is still one of the most common offences our police offi cers deal with.

Everybody knows it’s wrong. Every-body is aware of the penalties involved, but there still isn’t enough stigma at-tached to impaired driving. It’s still way too normal to be truly renounced by our society. That just isn’t OK.

People are still being “caught” for drinking and driving. It’s a term that isn’t really appropriate, because it isn’t about being caught, it’s about being charged. It’s well known that people often drink and drive hundreds, even thousands, of times before they are charged, and that won’t ever change. It’s unrealistic to think we will have a system that detects every single act of drunk driving.

I have friends who have dealt with the charges before. The Mercury’s own Chad Saxon was convicted in his younger days. I know people who have killed oth-ers while driving under the infl uence, and it’s in no way something that should ever be shrugged off as a momentary lapse in judgment.

It’s completely unacceptable, and it’s time that we see it as such. There is nothing normal about impaired driving. People who face these charges don’t need to be vilifi ed as horrible people, but we should certainly let them know that their behaviour is not tolerated.

I like to think that the evolution of attitudes towards certain subjects in our society is one that moves in a forward direction. Our attitude on impaired driv-ing stiffened the law, but we still have progress to make on how we actually feel about it.

The limits of our toleranceJordan Baker

Thoughts From My Fingers

The immediate future for grain pric-es must be one that is keeping forecasters sleepless at night right now.

When we look at the current situa-tion for potash, where prices are softer than expected, it would seem to indicate that commodity prices are about to de-cline. Generally one commodity, in this case potash, doesn’t see price fl uctua-tions in isolation of commodities.

The cloud that is hanging over the overall economic situation in Europe - particularly Greece and Italy - along with several other countries, certainly lends credence to concerns that com-modity prices are about to take a lower position.

The American situation is no better, as much as politicians there might be posturing it otherwise, as they fi ght for the upcoming presidential election.

Once the election is over, whoever is the president is going to face an economy which is in shambles with no easy path to bettering the situation. With a shaky situation in the U.S., the world economy could teeter into recession rather easily.

Yet against the backdrop of uncer-tainty, grains and oilseeds seem to be

running counter to those trends.Grain prices remain strong.There are a couple of reasons for this

that seem quite apparent.For many years there has been an

underlying belief that based on the grow-ing world population and importance of food, grain prices would eventually strengthen and remain higher than his-torically expected.

While many of the world’s poor still struggle to afford enough food, with many facing starvation and malnutrition daily, it does appear grains and oilseeds have greater value today.

There is probably an element of grains and oilseeds being diverted to energy production playing a role as well since oil and gas are not being dragged down in the face of a world completely reliant on its energy sources.

Weather conditions are also playing a role. We see that in terms of what the drought across much if the United States is doing to corn and soybean prices.

The Aug. 10 United States Depart-ment of Agriculture crop report cut 30 bushels per acre from this year’s esti-mated corn crop, and corn futures prices have set new record highs above $8.50 per bushel.

Of course the American situation is an interesting one as drought conditions are a 2012 price element, but the bigger question, of course, is that of politics.

The price infl uencing Farm Bill in the U.S. ends this September, and what replaces it against the backdrop of a country with fi nancial red fl ags being waved all over Washington, is going to be as important to American farm-ers as the arrival of rain clouds moving forward.

The Farm Bill will also have its ef-fect on world prices.

So while grain prices are doing well today, the longer-term direction of prices is pretty much a roll of the dice with so many opposing pressures infl uencing them.

I’m not saying that I’m old, but it has been 12 years since I graduated high school and a lot has changed in the world since my grad.

Students entering high school now have a lot different back-to-school lists than I did. When I was in school, you had to get a Five Star binder to be cool. Now with things like smartphones, tablets and iPods, a cool binder probably won’t cut it.

I don’t think it will be long before every student from Grade 1 to 12 has a tablet in the classroom and although there is the chance for distraction, I think the benefi ts will outweigh any drawbacks.

For me it is hard to imagine having a smartphone or tablet in high school. We had two computer labs at my high school and I thought that was cool. Having your own personal computer to take from class-to-class would have been amazing.

If I was able to go back in time to high school and bring one item with me from the present day, it would be a tablet. There are so many options of what you can do with them and I think it would help some kids to be more interested in learning.

As far as kids using them for things like social media sites or playing games, the Estevan Comprehensive School already blocks those sites from their students, so doing it on a tablet wouldn’t be a problem. You would just need to have the kids all log on to a school server.

However if you were to ask me in 1998 what one item I wanted for going back-to-school it would have been a simple answer from me. I wanted the Nike Air Jordan 13. Those were the coolest sneakers ever back then. And if you had a pair you were one of the lucky ones.

Funny how things have changed over the years. Back in high school I would have been happy with a pair of sneakers, now students’ wish lists include personal computers. — Rhys Kelso

Which “back to school” item do you wish you had when you were in high school?

HeHe Said

She There are two things I wish I had when I was in high school: my smartphone and my eReader.

Having a smart phone in high school would have been great, and also really, really bad. It would have made it easy to keep my schedule straight. I could have organized my homework, activities and at-home responsibilities in my calendar. I could have checked my e-mail and my grades online.

Most importantly, I would have stayed up to date on Facebook, which was vitally important in

high school (and remains vitally important today). I would never have had to listen to a bor-ing lecture in class.

Of course, these reasons are terrible in their own way. My teachers would have taken my phone away immediately had they seen me checking social media in class. It’s also kind of important to pay attention to what’s being taught in the classroom, since you’re going to have to write some sort of a test on the material. So my grades would have suffered. If I’m being honest, I spent a lot of time on my non-smart phone when in high school, and my per-formance didn’t suffer that badly.

Having an eReader would have been another good and bad item. I could have used my eReader to study and to read the books I pretended to read in high school. It’s so lightweight and easy to transport that it wouldn’t be a pain to haul around like so many of the giant text-books we read in science classes.

But again, an eReader would have been distracting. I defi nitely would have spent more time reading in class, which I did anyway, but I would have been sneakier about it. There are only so many ways I could hide my Harry Potter books in my binder before it got pretty obvious that I was reading a giant novel instead of paying attention. eReaders are sleek and much less noticeable.

I stand by the fact that both an eReader and a smartphone would have made high school better. But I’m also realistic enough to know I would have had them at school for all of a week before they were confi scated and I never saw them again. — Tonaya Marr

When I was in Grade 12, Spirit Week at the Este-van Comprehensive School rolled around and with it came “Wouldn’t be Caught Dead in That Day.” Basi-cally, the day was dedicated to dressing in a way that was absurd and abnormal.

At the time, there were some Grade 9 girls who dressed “emo,” by which I mean they had brightly coloured hair, wore a pile of makeup and wore clothes that were unlike the jeans-and-hoodie uniform adapted by the rest of the student body. They were different, and I wasn’t OK with that.

Upper-class girls, both friends of mine and oth-ers, decided to dress like the Grade 9 emo girls. We wanted to show them how weird they were, and that we didn’t like it.

I was thrilled about this plan. I woke up bright and early and had a couple of friends help me get ready. We painted streaks in my blonde hair, sketched hearts and stars on my face and loaded on eyeliner. The look was completely unlike anything I’d ever worn and I justifi ed it to myself by thinking “This is an outfi t I wouldn’t be caught dead in, so it’s OK to wear this to school.”

But in all honesty, when I went to school my goal was to make those little girls feel bad about them-selves. They were different, I didn’t like it, and I wanted them to know. I wasn’t alone in feeling this way, as lots of other girls arrived at school with backcombed hair and coloured skinny jeans like mine. And at the time, I felt great that the

Grade 9ers suffered from our treatment. How power-ful it felt to make them feel so small.

I’m going into my fourth and fi nal year of university, so it has been awhile since I’ve been in high school. It’s been a long time since I participated in a spirit day. But I still think about how poorly I treated those students, and I’ve never felt good about it.

Everyone is made to feel badly about themselves at times. It defi nitely hap-pened to me in high school. The only reason I was in a position to bully those girls was because I’d been bullied myself and had conformed to fi t the mould. And that’s what it was: bul-lying. I’ve heard teachers say there isn’t a bullying problem at ECS, but bully-ing can be something pretty small. We wanted to make them feel wrong and insig-nifi cant and that’s bullying as far as I’m concerned. I was never better than any of those girls, though at the time I believed I was, and I’m defi nitely sorry.

Going back into an-other school year, I would love it if this lesson hit

home with someone. First, don’t change yourself to fi t in with the rest of them. Second, don’t forget what it feels like to be at the receiving end of the taunt-ing. Finally, be nice to each other. High school is hard

enough without dressing up in pure spite of someone you’ve never even spoken to. I’m not saying you need to be everyone’s best friend, but be kind when you can and quiet when you can’t.

A few weeks ago I got a chance to play with a friend’s 150-500 mm zoom lens on my camera. To most mortals, that’s gobbledygook. In English, it means it’s a big honkin’ lens - as long as my forearm and stronger than a decent set of binoculars.

It just happened to be a full moon, and one of the fi rst things I did with it was clamp it down to my tripod and look for the man in the moon.

I was impressed. I finally figured out how TV shows like CSI Miami do the “big moon” effect. They use an even larger lens.

Even with this mon-strous lens, there was one thing I was certain I could not see: there was no lon-ger a man ON the moon. Nor had there been in my lifetime.

The passing of Neil Armstrong has been writ-ten or spoken about in pretty much every media known to man, from TV to Twitter. The big focus is it is the passing of an era, the end of the life of the media-shy test pilot who inspired millions when he set foot on the moon.

No more men on the moon

Many have noted how it was the passing of an era. But for me, that era had passed before I was even born 37 years ago. By 1975, NASA had long abandoned the Apollo pro-gram. They came, they saw, the left a few fl ags and bat-ted a few golf balls. In the span of my entire life, they have not returned since.

And I’m not that young anymore, either.

Nor will they return any time soon, either. President George W. Bush alluded to it a while back, but that was quickly for-gotten.

Perhaps the almost immediate disinterest in the Apollo program fol-lowing the initial landing says something about our attention spans. Apollo couldn’t compete in a three-TV network world. Now some people seem to think 140 characters is the

height of human communi-cation. A sound bite is too long, let alone something more serious like a moon landing.

It’s been a weird re-versal, really. Our atten-tion spans are shorter, but aerospace innovation takes much longer. U.S. President John F. Kennedy spoke in 1961 about put-ting a man on the moon be-fore the end of the decade. They succeeded. The F-35 fi ghter plane, however, has been in development for two decades and still isn’t operational. That plane will likely still be fl ying 35 years from now.

Coincidently, that’s usually the time frame we hear about these days in relation to future space missions. It will take an-other 30 years to get to Mars. We’ve heard that one for 30 years, and we seem no closer.

We recently landed the aptly-named Curiosity rover on Mars. It’s sending back some nice pictures. I’m just not sure that I can point to that bright light in the sky and say to my eight-year-old daughter or fi ve year-old son, “See that? There’s a rover on that!”

It doesn’t have the same ring as “There’s a man on that!”

At the current pace, my kids will be my age, or even much older, lean-ing over their kids looking through the telescope. Ex-cept by that time, it will be

70 years, or longer, since man has been on the moon, let alone Mars.

Armstrong, along with Buzz Aldrin, Pete Conrad, Alan Bean, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, David Scott, James Irwin, John W. Young, Charles Duke, Eugene Cernan and Har-rison Schmitt have set foot on the moon. The number is so few, I can name all of them and not even fi ll a paragraph.

I even met one at the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference in Regina in 2011. Harrison Schmitt, a

geologist, was on the last mission. He still wants us to go back and mine its resources.

I wish I could have introduced my kids to him, because it’s unlikely in their lifetimes they will ever meet a man, or woman, who has walked on the moon ... or Mars. Those men are, quite liter-ally a dying breed, and no one is going to be joining their ranks any time soon.

ProvincialSASKATOON - The

23-year-old wife of a 69-year-old Manitoba sena-tor appeared in domestic violence court Aug. 28 in Saskatoon.

Maygan Sensenberger was released on bail Aug. 27 on conditions including that she not have contact with her husband of one year, Senator Rod Zimmer.

Sensenberger was ar-rested last week on charges she caused a disturbance on a plane and endangered the safety of the aircraft.

Witnesses say Zim-mer started having health problems on the fl ight and police allege Sensenberger yelled about bringing down the plane and threatened her husband.

Domestic violence court is a separate part of provincial court that allows an individual who pleads guilty to take counselling and address substance abuse problems they may have.

The court’s website says any accused would not be sentenced until after they complete the counselling or substance abuse programs.

National MONTREAL - Mon-

treal police arrested 10 people at a university today as students staged more protests on the second day of classes.

A spokesman for the city’s police department says six women and four men face charges of as-saulting offi cers and secu-rity guards at Universite de Montreal.

The alleged incidents took place near the spot where masked protesters clashed with police and security agents yesterday.

Montreal police briefl y detained 19 people yester-day at the university for violating provisions of the province’s controversial new protest law.

Bill 78 sets out stiff penalties for protesters who

block schools or who fail to provide police with their demonstration itinerary eights hours in advance.

Dozens of demonstra-tors forced class cancella-tions yesterday as school resumed at Quebec uni-versities.

***OTTAWA - Foreign

Affairs Minister John Baird is telling the United Nations secretary general to stay away from a summit of non-aligned nations in Iran this week.

Baird says Tehran will use Ban ki-Moon’s presence at the meeting of more than 100 countries for its own propaganda purposes.

The minister says Iran has pledged to destroy Israel and has an abysmal human rights record.

Baird sent Ban a letter last week outlining his con-cerns, which mirror those of Israel.

The West believes Iran is pursuing a nuclear weap-

ons program, but Tehran denies this.

There has been growing speculation lately about a possible pre-emptive Israeli military strike against Iran’s nuclear program.

***MONTREAL - Strug-

gling to keep his political life afloat, Jean Charest shouldn’t expect a lifeline from Stephen Harper, says an ex-strategist for the prime minister.

Tom Flanagan believes that Harper is still smarting from the last time he reached out to help the Quebec premier.

In a controversial deci-sion, during the dying days of Quebec’s tight election campaign in 2007, Harper ramped up federal transfers that netted the province $2.3 billion.

Charest quickly turned the cash into $700 million of income-tax cuts, helping him pump enough life into his wilting campaign to

squeak out a new, minority mandate.

The move surprised Ottawa, as it undercut the longstanding argument for larger transfers: namely, that the provinces couldn’t afford services without extra cash. Meanwhile, other angry premiers felt short-changed and unloaded on Harper, accusing him of buying votes in Quebec.

What did Harper earn in return for helping Charest’s Liberals in 2007? A “kick in the teeth,” according to Flanagan.

Despite Harper’s head-aches, Flanagan says Cha-rest did nothing to repay the favour. Instead, he points to how the premier has repeatedly attacked federal Conservative policies on issues such as crime and the environment.

InternationalTAMPA, Fla. - Re-

publicans moved Tuesday into the ritual of formally nominating Mitt Romney

as their candidate to unseat President Barack Obama, watching anxiously as a tropical storm threatened to turn into a hurricane and hit New Orleans just as the fi rst political speeches are uncorked.

Romney’s wife, Ann, will be among the night’s speakers, and she will show a more personal side of a candidate the Obama campaign has tried to paint as a big business titan out of touch with the struggles of average Americans. The Romneys boarded a plane bound for Tampa, but it was not known whether the candidate would attend the convention before his big address Thursday.

Polls show Romney and Obama running about even, but each man holds signifi cant leads with voters in important subtexts that could sway the roughly 10 per cent of Americans who say they haven’t settled yet on one man or the other.

There must be some-thing in the water in Cole Harbour, N.S., because two of the greatest young hockey players in Canada in the last 10 years have skated on ice made from that Cole Harbour H2O - a situation that defi es logic.

Cole Harbour is a com-munity of 25,000 - a small city by anyone’s defi nition - yet Sidney Crosby and Nathan MacKinnon are home-grown products of the city near Halifax.

OK, you’ve heard of Crosby, the Pittsburgh Pen-guins superstar who, some claim, is the world’s best player. You may not have heard of MacKinnon, but if you’re a hockey fan of any stripe, you will.

MacKinnon will be a 17-year-old playing for Halifax Mooseheads of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League this winter. A young 17 too, because his birthday is Sept. 1. Right now, the fast-skating forward is projected to be the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft next June, making him the second Cole Harbour native to be the top pick in a span of just nine years.

Critics say MacKinnon might not be the next Crosby, but he’s a superstar-in-wait-

ing nonetheless. Sixteen-year-old players rarely lead their major junior teams in scoring, but MacKinnon’s 78 points topped the Halifax list last year. And he re-ally made an international splash this summer when he led Canada to a gold medal in the under-18 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tourna-ment. MacKinnon’s five goals and six assists led all players in what scouts regard as the second-most important tournament (next to the World Junior) for pros-pecting. In the championship game, MacKinnon scored three goals in Canada’s 4-0 victory over Finland.

“I’ve never experienced anything like this before, but it’s a great way to start the season,” MacKinnon told TSN.ca

Sometime in December, when Hockey Canada of-fi cials will gather to choose Canada’s players for the World Junior in Ufa, Rus-sia, MacKinnon’s name will probably be front and centre. Chances are he will be the only 17-year-old on the squad, which could be bolstered by a number of 20-year-olds if the NHL la-bour strife is still in full force.

Meanwhile, Cole Har-bour city fathers should

perhaps get an early start on changing their city’s welcome sign. Space will soon have to be found on the “Home of Sidney Crosby” sign for the name of another young hockey superstar.

The definit ion of “precipice”: The brink of a dangerous or disastrous situation.

The defi nition of “cri-sis”: A time of intense dif-fi culty, trouble, or danger.

Given the choice of the two, I’d say the Saskatch-ewan Roughriders are on the precipice, rather than in a crisis. Anyone who has truly been through a crisis knows the state of the 2012 Saskatchewan Roughriders hardly qualifi es as that.

What are we talking about? Well, the Roughrid-ers - who have quickly gone from Canada’s Team to Saskatchewan’s Team - are in the throes of a fi ve-game losing streak that, to my

knowledge, is the longest for the football club since 2005. That pre-dates all but one of the current players on the roster. Their most recent loss, 17-10 to visiting Cal-gary on Saturday, was just another example of missed opportunities.

Is the season slipping away? No, I don’t think so, but the Green & White has to win six of its last 10 games just to go 9-9 - and even that record wouldn’t guarantee a playoff spot.

First, the bad news. The Rider players seem at a loss for answers as they spoke after Saturday’s game.

“They got us in the middle (of the defence) and we couldn’t get it sorted

out at the time,” snorted Rider defensive end Brent Hawkins. “It’s not just up to us. It’s up to the coaches too, to see what’s going on. We did the best that we could. Things just fell the way that they did.”

Linebacker Mike Mc-Cullough, the only player who knows what it’s like to lose fi ve in a row in Sas-katchewan, seemed the most

befuddled after the match.“He (Stamps running

back Jon Cornish) found the hole at the right time,” McCullough huffed live on CKRM. “There’s nothing we can do about it. Actually there’s something we can do, but we just didn’t do it.

“It’s just frustration. That’s the biggest word for it right now. We don’t know what’s going on. We got the

talent. We just aren’t making the plays we need to make.”

You’ve got to give Mike a pass on that one. His head was likely swim-ming as he was interviewed seconds after the fi nal gun, right there on the fi eld.

And now, are you ready for it?? The good news!! The 2-6 Winnipeg Blue Bombers are in town this Sunday for Labour Day Classic XLVI and that’s a game the Riders never lose. Actually, they’re 29-16 all-time against Winnipeg on this weekend and carry a seven-game win streak into the match. The Bomb-ers haven’t won in Regina since 2004 when they came away with a 17-4 upset. It’s

a slam-dunk!This is all tongue in

cheek, of course. The 7-1 Blue Bombers overlooked the Riders last year and were swept by scores of 27-7 and 45-23 in the LDC and Banjo Bowl so it wouldn’t be pru-dent for Saskatchewan to overlook their Prairie foes now that the shoe is on the other foot.

In fact the Riders aren’t exactly ridin’ high them-selves right now. We said after the bye week in early August that we’d soon fi nd out who the real Riders are.

So far, we’re not liking what we’re seeing.

(Rod Pedersen is the voice of the Riders on CKRM radio)

The following statistics on the trucking industry have been sourced through Transport Canada 's annual report – Transportation in Canada 2006. For the full report see www.tc.gc.ca/pol/en/anre/menu.htm

Industry Performance:• As a whole, the truck-

ing industry (including for-hire carriers, private carriers, owner-operators and courier fi rms) generated an estimated $67 billion in revenues in 2005.

• With respect to truck-ing fi rms, in 2005, general freight carriers accounted for 60 per cent of the for-hire revenues of the industry.

• Truck carriers with an-nual revenues of $12 million

or more accounted for 55.2 per cent of the trucking

• revenues generated by trucking fi rms with at least $1 million of annual revenues.

• Heavy trucks ac-counted for 21.5 billion vehicle-kilometres in 2005, compared with six bil-lion vehicle-kilometres for medium-sized trucks.

Infrastructure:• The reported sales of

Class 8 trucks (trucks with a gross weight exceeding 15,000 kilograms) reached a record in 2006, with sales of 39,131 vehicles.

• According to the Ca-nadian Vehicle Survey, there were 615,000 (in scope) heavy trucks (gross weight

of at least 4,500 kilograms) in Canada, of which 321,000 were medium-sized, weigh-ing between 4,500 and 15,000 kilograms. A total of 294,000 were Class 8 (heavy) trucks.

• Ontario (37 per cent), Alberta (25 per cent) and Quebec (13.5 per cent) ac-counted for over 75 per cent of the heavy truck fl eet.

Trade:• Canadian for-hire

trucking fi rms carried over 80 per cent of total tonnage shipped intraprovincially.

• In terms of value, trucking accounted for 61 per cent of trade with the United States, rail 17 per cent, pipeline 13 per cent, air fi ve per cent and marine

four per cent.• In 2006, the exports

from Canada shipped by trucks totalled $185.8 bil-lion (50.7% of total exports) down from $188.4 billion in 2005. Imports from the United States shipped by trucks amounted to $166 bil-lion in 2006 (76.7% of total imports), up from $164.7 billion in 2005.

• In domestic activities, construction materials are the top commodities moved by trucks intraprovincially, followed by agricultural products, primary metals, metal and mineral products, and energy products.

• The main interpro-vincial trucking fl ow was the Quebec–Ontario route (both directions), which

accounted for $40.4 billion worth of commodities, or 28 per cent of the total interpro-vincial trade.

The Border:• The busiest transbor-

der trucking routes were Ontario–U.S. central region, Ontario–U.S. south region and Ontario–U.S. northeast region. Combined, they ac-counted for almost 80 per cent of the shipments.

• Heavy truck activ-ity across the Canada–U.S. border fell about one per cent in 2006 to 12.9 million two-way trips, still below the 2000 peak.

Environment:• On average, heavy

trucks were driven 73,000

kilometres per year, about four times as much as me-dium trucks, which were driven 19,000 kilometres pre year.

• Heavy truck fuel effi ciency averaged about 33 L/100 km, with straight trucks averaging 31 L/100 km and tractor-trailers av-eraging 35 L/100 km.

Labour:• The trucking indus-

try as a whole employed 356,124 people in 2005.

• Of these there were 109,284 drivers employed by the for-hire trucking industry, 78,500 owner-operators, and, accord-ing to 2001 census data, 102,509 self-declared de-livery drivers.

National Trucking WeekKeeping Canadian businesses rolling.Keeping Canadian businesses rolling.

September 2 - 8, 2012September 2 - 8, 2012

This year’s National Trucking Week marks the efforts of the 400,000 people who participate in the trucking industry to get the goods we use to our stores, construction sites, and factories. From September 2-8, regional trucking associations, in conjunction with the Ca-nadian Trucking Alliance, will be hosting events to honour both the people and the technologies that keep us all supplied with the things we need.

CTA president David H. Bradley says that truck-ing is a unique vocation. “(It) is more than a job to most people in the industry.

Driving into the futureIt is a way of life — one that gets into your blood. The industry is emerging from the depths of the reces-sion. And while we are far from out of the woods yet in terms of the economy, it is a testament to the hard work, dedication, perseverance of everyone in every company that the industry is poised for new growth. The glory years of trucking are yet to come.”

What with rising fuel costs, you might wonder just how trucking has a bright future. The CTA is working hard to promote the development of greener trucks and a greener truck-ing industry. The orga-

nization’s “enviro truck” initiative has taken on the challenge of reducing harmful emissions that af-fect air quality and climate change. Enviro trucks use smog-free engines that reduce greenhouse gas emissions up to 22 percent.

Getting more green trucks on the road is a project for the long haul, however, as current models are less fuel-efficient than those with conventional truck engines. With con-tinued advocacy on the part of the CTA, it is hoped that new fuel efficiency technology will soon make these vehicles the bulk of every company’s fleet.

Nearly all the mer-chandise that we purchase, whether it’s the clothing we wear, the food that we eat or any other essential item of our daily lives, has been transported by truck at one or more stages in its production or when it was delivered. Hence, trucking is of vital importance to the health and robustness of the Canadian economy. National Trucking Week invites you to celebrate the importance of this industry to the entire country.

Nearly half the mer-

chandise dispatched to or within Canada is trans-ported from its departure point to its destination, by a truck. The rest, which is shipped mainly by plane, train or ship, will be tran-shipped by trucks to the airport, the station or the port and, afterwards to its fi nal destination. So truck-ing is an integral part of all merchandise sales and purchases carried out on Canadian territory. Canadi-an trucking, which includes contract carriers, parcel delivery services and pri-

vate companies which have their own fl eet of vehicles, is an industry generating an annual turnover of tens of billions of dollars.

The trucking world also offers some really in-teresting career opportuni-ties. This industry requires a huge amount of qualifi ed drivers to keep all those trucks safely on the road, as well as strong support teams in order to ensure, among other things, the maintenance of vehicles and the effi cient distribu-tion of resources.

Senator’s wife released on bailInternational

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - The Pittsburgh Pirates released struggling left-handed starter Erik Bedard on Tuesday, two days after he lost his 14th game of the season, tied for the most in the majors this year.

The 33-year-old Be-dard, from Ottawa, went 7-14 with a 5.01 ERA for Pittsburgh after signing a one-year, US$4.5 million contract in the off-season. Bedard got off to a strong start and went 4-1 in May before his numbers steadily declined. He went 4-10 over his fi nal 14 starts as his ERA ballooned from 3.12 on May 27 to the worst among Pittsburgh’s starters.

Bedard gave up six runs in six hits, walking two and striking out three in a 7-0 loss to Milwaukee on Sunday.

The Pirates have not announced who will re-place Bedard’s spot on the roster and rotation.

***LONDON - There has

never been a Canadian Paralympic team as well funded and supported as the one currently in London for the 2012 Games.

The bounce the coun-try’s Paralympians experi-enced following the 2010 Vancouver Olympics came at a crucial time.

More countries are competing in Paralympics and there’s more money behind that competition. It’s harder for Canadians to win Paralympic med-als than it was just eight years ago.

Canada’s objective in London is to finish top-eight in the overall gold-medal count. After fi nishing tied for third in 2000 and third in 2004, Canada slipped to seventh in 2008 with 19 gold.

The London Paralym-pic Games began with the opening ceremony, Aug. 29. Veteran wheelchair rugby player Garett Hick-ling of Kelowna, B.C., rolled the Maple Leaf into Olympic Stadium.

Increased funding al-lowed the Paralympic team to send advance scouts to London a year out from the Games. They returned with reports on venues and logistics, according to assistant chef de mission Elisabeth Walker-Young.

Own The Podium, which oversees the com-petitive aspects of athletes’ lives between Games, has invested $21 million in Paralympic summer sport in the four years since the 2008 Games, almost tri-pling what was spent the previous quadrennial.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Milos Raonic finally earned his fi rst victory at the U.S. Open on Tues-day, fighting through a first-round marathon to defeat Santiago Giraldo of Colombia 6-3, 4-6, 3-6, 6-4, 6-4.

The No. 15 seed from Thornhill, Ont., earned his 34th victory of the season in a match that lasted well over three hours.

Raonic did not play at the US Open in 2011 as he recovered from hip surgery.

In 2010 as a qualifi er, he was beaten by Austra-lian Carsten Ball in his debut at a major.

Raonic found himself down 2-1, but tied the match with a break in the fi nal game of the fourth set as Giraldo fi red wide.

The match finished with a Raonic break of Giraldo on a forehand error from the Colombian.

Raonic had 30 aces, but struggled with 55 un-forced errors and conver-sions on only a third of his dozen break points.

He will play Paul-Henri Mathieu of France for the fi rst time in the second round of the tour-nament.

NationalOTTAWA - The Mc-

Master Marauders are still on top of the Canadian uni-versity football rankings.

The reigning CIS champions were chosen the top team in the coun-try on Tuesday with 25 of 30 fi rst-place votes from the Football Reporters of Canada.

McMaster won its fi rst-ever Vanier Cup last season with a 41-38 over-time victory over the Laval Rouge et Or.

Laval is ranked No. 2 after receiving four fi rst-place votes. The University of Calgary Dinos placed third with one fi rst-place vote.

Rounding out the fi rst top 10 of the season are the Montreal Carabins, West-ern Mustangs, Queen’s Gaels, UBC Thunderbirds, Saskatchewan Huskies, Acadia Axemen and the Windsor Lancers.

The Marauders kick off their Vanier Cup de-fence on Sept. 3 with a home game against Guelph. That game’s part of an 11-game opening weekend in the OUA, RSEQ and Canada West conferences.

***Georges St-Pierre says

he has been medically cleared to return to the Octagon.

The mixed martial arts star from Montreal had re-constructive knee surgery

in January after tearing an anterior cruciate ligament and his internal meniscus during a wrestling training session last fall.

He says via Twitter that he’s been given the all clear to resume competitive

fi ghting.There has been specu-

lation he will make his comeback at UFC 154 on Nov. 17 in Montreal against interim champion Carlos Condit.

“I’m now medically

cleared to compete in pro-fessional mixed martial arts events,” tweeted St-Pierre. “Rendez-vous le 17 novembre, @UFC 154, Montreal!!!”

As of Tuesday after-noon, the St-Pierre-Condit

bout was not one of the confi rmed fi ghts for the Montreal card.

Condit defeated Nick Diaz on Feb. 4 to become interim champion dur-ing St-Pierre’s medical absence.
