The big day has arrived!
Kipling is host to what is being called Saskatchewan’s Biggest Housewarming Party Ever, this weekend, Sept. 1-3.
The celebration is being held to welcome the Town’s newest citizens, Red Paper Clip Trader Kyle MacDonald and Dominique Dupuis to their new home in Kipling, at 503 Main St.
Good harvest progress was made during the past week, according to Sask-atchewan Agriculture and Food’s weekly crop report.
Thirty-seven per cent of the 2006 crop has been combined, and a further 33 per cent has been swathed or is ready to be straight combined. This is higher than the five-year (2001-2005) average of 18 per cent combined, and 20 per cent swathed or ready to straight combine.
Those who knew the late Vera (Hanson) Dermody will remember her as a bit of a character. Fun-loving and quick with the wit, she was a natural-born entertainer.
Vera was one of several who once boarded at 503 Main Street in Kipling, the house which due to recent events has come to be known worldwide as “The Red Paper Clip House”. In the late 1930’s and early 40’s, it was a boarding-house operated by a Mrs. Hallin and Vera counted a daughter, Mae Hallin among her circle of friends.
Saskatchewan Party Leader Brad Wall is calling for specific steps to be taken, based on the information and impressions he gathered during the course of his summer tour.
“Those living in Saskatchewan are a proud and hopeful people,” Wall said. “They’re looking for someone to show leadership on a number of fronts, and they’re not getting that leadership from the NDP.”
Saskatchewan continues to call on the federal government to ensure national policies that shape the future of Canada’s renewable fuels industry help establish the emerging biodiesel sector and encourage primary producer involvement.
To date, the federal government has committed to a mandate of five per cent use of biofuels by 2010. The federal mandate combines ethanol and biodiesel, without specifying a target for each fuel type. While Saskatchewan continues to push Ottawa for a ten per cent renewable fuels standard by 2010, the province wants the federal government to implement a two per cent biodiesel allocation by 2010 that would increase to five per cent by 2015.
Fillmore RCMP are investigating a fatal collision which killed a 49 year old man from Arcola. At about noon Tuesday, Aug. 29, a pick-up truck was northbound on a grid road when it came to the intersection with Highway #13 about 6 kilometers west of Stoughton. The truck entered the highway where it came into collision with a westbound motorcycle.
The driver of the motorcycle, a 49 year old man, was pronounced dead at the scene. The 29 year old male driver of the pick-up from Regina was not injured.
Corbin Bernsen is either a really down-to-earth guy or a very, very, very good actor. Anyone who has seen his work and then met him here on the weekend would no doubt say that he is both.
The actor/producer was in Kipling Saturday and Sunday to conduct auditions for a part in an upcoming movie, Donna On Demand. In an interview, he had nothing but good things to say about the community and about the 90 or so hopefuls who read for him.
Ratepayers on Fourth Street in Kipling have blocked a paving project proposed for this fall. Earlier this year, Town Council considered undertaking recapping the pavement on Fourth Street from 5th Avenue to the 605 Grid. Cost of the project was estimated to be $146,000.
Of these costs approximately $90,000 was to be financed through the General Revenue Fund and the Community Share Grant and approximately $56,000 through a local improvement special assessment levy. As the Town of Kipling is a property owner along Fourth Street, general revenue would have been responsible for an additional $31,000; this left approximately $25,000 to be assessed to the remaining property owners along Fourth Street.
Plans are fast coming together for Saskatchewan’s Biggest Housewarming Party Ever which is now just a week away. The Sept. 1-3 celebration, designed to welcome Red Paper Clip Trader Kyle MacDonald and Dominique Dupuis to their new home in Kipling, will feature appearances by several notable performers. Among them are award-winning Country Singer Brad Johner, Singer Jody Gnant, who traded with Kyle for a recording contract, the Heavy Metal band Stillseed, Pop group The Rotators, Ontario band Club Treehouse and recording artist Colin Pearson.
Beer gardens will be open all three nights at Kipling Arena. Bobby Byrnell will be Friday’s DJ.
Saturday’s headliners, from 9:30-1:30, will be the Saskatoon-based rock band Butterfinger.
Sunday evening will feature local sensation Alex Runions, also from 9:30-1:30.
