The Saskatchewan Roughriders emerged 27-23 winners over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the Labour Day Classic, but forgive me if I'm feeling a little unsettled despite the victory. The Riders hardly looked like the Grey Cup contenders I know they should be, and then one day later when the Edmonton Eskimos got rocked 52-5 by the Calgary Stampeders, I am even more concerned. After all, it was the Eskimos who defeated the Riders one week earlier. I thought Saskatchewan would come out with all guns blazing on Sunday, but they were rather blah until the fourth quarter when Darian Durant led them on an impressive scoring drive. Still, Durant turned the ball over twice and has just 5-touchdown passes since week 3 to go along with 13-interceptions. Not good.Speaking of not good, the special teams continue to be a joke and will continue to be a joke indefinitely.
I have a Yorkton McDonald's update from Dean Shyiak. In an email to me over the weekend, he says, "We are to begin work on September 7th. The anticipated timeline is about three months from that point, if everything goes well.We are trying to get some pictures made up to put in our WalMart McDonald's to try and show what the finished product will look like so that everyone can be informed."
If you read last week's paper, you will know we can expect to see more commercial development on the west end of Yorkton. Things go full circle.It was just ten years ago when the West Broadway Mall was demolished and the thought was the west end of Yorkton was going to be void of any business. Well, here we are with a refurbished Gallagher Centre and a new relocated Painted Hand Casino and things are looking good for west Yorkton.
Sunrise Health Region employees, including physicians and contracted workers, will soon have to pay for their parking stall at their place of employment.I have no strong opinion on this other than to say paid parking for employees is not unusual in a lot of cities. If you work in downtown Regina you have to pay to park or else use city transit. I work in downtown Yorkton and I have to pay to park.I guess if your place of employment requires you to pay for your stall, we still live in a city where you should be able to find a spot (possibly on the street) where you can park for the day and not have to pay.You may have to walk a few more steps, but a little exercise never hurt anyone.On the flipside, if the parking lot isn't 小蓝视频 used by anyone else and isn't in strong demand then I would suggest continuing to offer it for free. You know how we are in Yorkton.We can't change the clock, so how are we expecting people to change their parking habits?
The story about this poor judge in Manitoba who has had to step back from her job after nude pictures surfaced is ridiculous.I get the whole 'nothing is secret' anymore because of the internet, but how do these pictures affect her ability to do her job? Was Bill Clinton's job performance affected by his affair with Monica Lewinsky?While knowing these very personal details about people may affect our perception on individuals as human 小蓝视频s, the fact remains it has no impact on their ability to do their jobs. If, as an American, you thought Clinton was fit to rule the United States before he was discovered to be an adulterer, then he's still fit after ward too even though he may also be a slime bucket of a guy. I know some very nice, high moral people who I like a great deal, but the fact is that they would make bad judges and politicians.
While on the topic of sex, I got these tidbits from Dave Zinczenko of Men's Health Magazine last week:the part of a woman's body that she wishes her mate would touch more when 小蓝视频 intimate is her legs. And, indulging in food together is a potent sensual experience. Encourage sharing.
Nice person mentions this week to Maurice Hardy, Bob Beatty, Sandra Nordin, Kurt Raffey, and Dianna Kozak.
