Oppositional concerns were formally presented on Wednesday morning by dozens of ratepayers and supporters during a regular Council meeting of the R.M. of Weyburn, regarding the Seven Stars Wind Power Energy Project.

"We were allowed to ask a few questions on certain topics of their procedures for changing bylaws," shared Kim Brady. "Previous to this meeting, I asked them to have a Town Hall meeting with the residents, at one of the local halls in town and let people come, but they wouldn't do that." 

The congregations or 'swarms' of Blue Darner dragonflies being observed over the past couple of weeks in the southeast area are the result of having an ample supply of food - smaller flying insects. 

This is according to Dr. James Tansey, the Provincial Entomologist with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture. 

Dragonflies, and their smaller, close relatives, damselflies, consume smaller flying insects that can bug anyone trying to enjoy the great outdoors, such as biting midges (also known as no-see-ums) and even mosquitoes.

Gardeners hoping to get more yield from their plants are likely aware they need to encourage pollinators, such as bees, insects, birds, and even wind or water. 

Pollination is the process of moving pollen (male) from the anther in one flower to the stigma (female) in another flower of the same species. The act of successful pollination produces fertile seeds. According to Gardening experts at the University of Saskatchewan, while some plants are self-pollinating, almost all flowering plants need to be pollinated by a winged creature.

After a year and a half with no pool in Radville, the Radville-Laurier Regional Park opened its brand new pool on Canada Day and held a Grand Opening on July 12th. The new pool now also features a water wheelchair. 

Board Chair Claude Carles said they had planned the pool to be fully accessible for all ages. 

A meeting will be held on July 31st at 7 p.m. at Cecelia's Banquet Hall for anyone interested in having further discussions concerning a proposed wind power project in the R.M.s of Weyburn and Griffin.

In late June, the Saskatchewan Indigenous Investment Finance Corporation (SIIFC) pledged up to one hundred million dollars in loan guarantees for a new renewable wind energy project to be built southeast of Weyburn. In agreement with six Indigenous and Metis partners, Enbridge Inc. has joined with SaskPower to advance the project through a power purchase agreement.  

If you come across a fawn, or other wildlife, either on your property or in the middle of a field, the chances are very good the mother will be back for it.

Conservation Officer Ted Glass with the Ministry of Corrections, Policing, and Public Safety, said the mother has put it there for safe-keeping.
