Police Report So you just got your license, eh...
By Terrie Welwood
April 6th 2:30 am Police received numerous calls from the Roblin Motor Inn advising of a light colored car driving recklessly and throwing beer bottles out the windows. RCMP from Russell were dispatched. Within six minutes of that dispatch, they received a dispatch alerting them of a possibly suicidal male in Roblin, who was reportedly carrying By Terrie Welwood a knife. As this call took priority, police attended to the Roblin residence and talked to the man, who went to the Roblin hospital for treatment - voluntarily - by local ambulance. April 8th 3:30 am Police attended to a residence in the RM of Silver Creek to deal with a report of a disturbance. Neither the victim nor the suspect were residents of Silver Creek. The victim refused medical treatment. As police continue to investigate, charges are pending. April 10th 7:55 pm Police were advised by a female resident of St. Lazare that her ex-boyfriend had attended her home, contrary to the conditions of his release. Police later arrested the man under five different charges and remanded him in custody to Brandon. April 12th The slippery conditions caused by the overnight snowfall caused numerous accidents including a roll over in the Assiniboine River Valley. Luckily no injuries were sustained. April 12th A Russell resident reported that sometime over the previous evening, her garage had been spray painted. Police continue to investigate. April 8th Police were called to help Russell EMS members after a report that an adult male from Gambler First Nation had taken a large number of unknown pills and was hal- lucinating and uncontrollable. The man was taken to Russell and treated overnight. April 9th 10:00 am. An RM of Ellice resident reported that sometime the following day, a Jeep Wrangler had been vandalized while parked in the parking lot of the Major Pratt School. Police continue to investigate.
The Prestigious Speeder of the Week award went to a young Saskatoon driver caught on 45 Hwy doing a 141kms/hr in a 100 zone. The young driver was also on the graduated license program where he had to have a licenced driver with him. Along with the $586.75 speeding ticket, another fine was issued for this. Happily for him, a friend picked up his vehicle, saving him the cost of towing. PUBLICATIONS MAIL AGREEMENT NO. 40007652 RETURN UNDELIVERABLE ITEMS TO THE RUSSELL BANNER P.O.

The demise of the Canadian Wheat Calvin Daniels Board forecast by its biggest supporters if single-desk selling powers were to be striped away seems to have been a bit overly dramatic. Of course those who believed the end of single-desk selling would be the panacea to end all the woes of farm- ers with wheat, durum and barley bound for export. It won't be. There will be issues regarding deliveries, sales and pricing under any conceivable system, as witnessed this year with tardy rail line service which is causing an ex- port backlog in a year when grain supplies are massive on Prairie farms. There is even some compelling likelihood the more dis- ciplined approach to grain handling a single-desk seller brings to the marketplace might have aided the current situation. Ultimately the CWB was changed by the federal gov- ernment, and whether it is a great move on their part, or an impending disaster will only be fully determined by looking back after several years have transpired. In the meantime the CWB appears to be adapting pretty quickly to the new world order it finds itself operating in. The CWB recently announced the construction of its second state-of-the-art grain elevator. This one near Colonsay, Saskatchewan. Situated on the Yellowhead Highway approximately 65 kilometers east of Saskatoon, the elevator at Colonsay will feature 42,000 metric tonnes (mT) of storage and is scheduled to open in time for the 2015 harvest. "I'm excited to be able to announce the construction of our second elevator in Colonsay so fast on the heels of our Bloom elevator announcement," said CWB president and CEO Ian White in a prepared release. "We see sig- nificant opportunity in the Colonsay area for a fast and A Rabbi, a Priest and a duck efficient grain-handling facility that will provide the cus- tomer service that farmers have come to expect from CWB. CWB's growing network of modern grain-han- dling facilities across the Prairies will provide farmers go into a bar with more choice out in the country during a critical time decades.
