Over the past few weeks, some residents in Kipling have expressed concern as well as outright anger towards the new taxation system the Town of Kipling recently put into place. With the new method, which is a base tax method, residents pay a more equal amount of taxes. The old method was based on a property’s assessed value, making some residents pay as much as $2,500 while others paid as little as $775.

Tonight when families gather around the dinner table for their meal, it’s likely most of the food on the plates travelled approximately 1,500 miles. That’s a long way just for one meal. Take into account all the pollution it causes combined with the fact that food may not remain as fresh as one would like and eating that meal may not seem so appetizing.

On June 3, Seed Hawk opened its $2.8 million dollar manufacturing facility. This recent upgrade adds 15,000 feet of manufacturing space and 4,000 feet of office space, which will help expand production of one-pass air drills from 100 to 300 a year.
Seed Hawk planned the expansion due to increased demands world wide for its innovation air drills. The company wants to ensure it meets demands while continuing to manufacture high quality products. “The new facility allows us to do just that,” said Pat Beaujot, Seed Hawk owner. “Now we can expand our marketing efforts without compromising the services we offer to our loyal, existing customers.”

The emergency entrance is one huge concern for residents. It is a distance from the treatment rooms and is not sheltered, making it very poorly located.

A leaky roof, poor emergency access, and inefficient operations from consistent downsizing at the Kipling Hospital are some of the concerns area residents bring forth when stating why the community needs a new hospital.

A search for missing person Terry Sagal, whose car was discovered outside of Kennedy on December 20, 2001, turned up nothing but old animal bones. Though many findings seemed promising at first sight, all were quickly dismissed as animal bones. “We found lots of animal bones, but no human remains,” said Sergeant Brent Shannon, a member of the Regina Police Service Cold Case Unit spearheading the search.

A jerrycan, seen here in the plastics recycling bin, should go to a landfill because it contains hazardous material.

Water softener salt does not belong in a recycling bin, especially one for tin. This, as well as other garbage in the recycling bins, puts our recycling program at risk of becoming cancelled.

Glass should not go to the recycling bins as Red Coat has no way of taking care of them. To recycle glass, take it to SARCAN.

This is one of the three bags Crown Shred & Recycling brought to the meeting to show people exactly what ended up in our recycling bins. Red Coat picked up this garbage out of the bins on Kipling’s recycling route on May 12.
Recycling program could be as good as garbage
By Lizz Bottrell, Citizen Staff
Red Coat Waste Authority’s newly resumed collection of plastic and tin for recycling could soon end up back in the landfill if everyone does not start using the program properly. Since Red Coat reinstated its collection of plastic and tin on April 1, many of the bins have been overflowing with unacceptable contaminates, or in other words, garbage.

The holiday season brings about much happiness for families. However, in December 2001, just a week before Christmas, one family experienced one of its worst fears. A beloved family member, Terrance (Terry) Sagal went missing. His family last saw him on December 18, 2001 in Regina. Two days later, his vehicle was found abandoned just south of Kennedy. Sagal left his family without any clue as to where he went or why.

In honour of National Volunteer Week from April 27 to May 3, the Citizen set out to highlight the volunteer career of a couple local community members. Although everyone deserves much recognition for their hard work, many that were asked for an interview turned down the opportunity, only to recommend someone else for the recognition. Finally, two people accepted the interview, only after insisting there were others that did more work. The stories of these two individuals recognize both their hard work and that of the many other volunteers in Kipling and the surrounding area.
