If the Estevan Bruins lose 10-2 again tomorrow in Melville, I will eat my hat. With salt. Hold me to it. It won't happen though.

The good news is that following decades of waiting, the Estevan area will soon get a green light for a heavy truck bypass route around the city.

While farmers work hard each year to maximize yields, yields ultimately impacted by nature more than most things producers do, one thing remains constant, weeds grow under just about every condition conceivable.

By now the United States will probably already have made a decision at congress to move in and strike Syria. Whatever the result, it is one of the many painstaking decisions a leader must handle.

The most desirable way for me to ease into something new, is not to ease in at all. It's to jump in with both feet. This is exactly what happened during my first week at Weyburn This Week. Labour Day shortened the week, tightening up deadlines.

Pro football is a quarterback's game. If you've got a good one, you have a chance to win. If your QB is a household name only in his own home, chances are you're not going to the playoffs. In the National Football League, QB is king.

Thud. That's the sound of the Saskatchewan Roughriders crashing back to earth.

I remember, very specifically, Sept. 11, 2001. My sister and I were getting ready for school and our parents were watching the morning news in the living room. All of a sudden the news goes live to New York City and one of the Twin Towers is smoking.

I have several thoughts about bullying. The stuff about preying on the weak those without guile and lacking street smarts.

The time is ripe for Estevan's generosity to shine through. We aren't asking for finances, but rather a little generosity of spirit, which is something else we have in abundance.
