News?

I don't write about news for a couple reasons. The first, I hate news. It just reminds me how horrific this world is ... due to the fact that they only show the most gruesome, horrible stories ... I mean, where is the Squirrel water skiing!!? The Second ... I could care less about what is happening in the rest of the world. Give me my Swift Current News ... my Saskatchewan news ... and every once in a while ... my important Canadian news .... I don't care that Lindsay Lohan was drunk again, or George Bush said something stupid ... again.

Anyway, I digress ... this was taken from the CBC website.

Sask. premier gives green light to change after firefighter gets ticket

After hearing that a volunteer firefighter was ticketed on his way to an emergency call, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said he wants to find a way to help volunteers get to emergencies quicker.

Wall made the comment Tuesday after CBC News reported that a volunteer firefighter in Estevan was fined for going through a red light while on his way to a fire call.

Travis Olver fought the ticket in court but lost, and was fined $70.

Under provincial law, volunteer firefighters must obey all traffic laws when driving their personal vehicles.

The premier said he was surprised by the outcome of Olver's case.

"Can we not have a common-sense solution to this so that we have an encouragement to people to be volunteer firefighters?" Wall told reporters. "I think the answer's yes."

As soon as Wall heard about the case, he called provincial officials and asked them to find out what other jurisdictions are doing, he said.

"I think we'll have a plan here to fix this very soon," he said.

One option is to copy Manitoba and Ontario, where firefighters can use emergency flashing lights in their personal vehicles, he said.

A plan may be in place as early as the end of the month, he said.



I thought that was cool. Volunteer Fire Fighters are really important to communities like Estevan ... they are your only hope at putting out fires ... I honestly can't believe a cop would issue that ticket in the first place.

In Swift Current ... the Fire Department has something like 12 full time Firefighters ... and about the same amount of Auxiliary Fire Fighters. The reason in Swift Current to have volunteers ... is to assist the Full Time Firefighters. For example ... when there are huge fires like Fine Furniture Oasis ... the Auxiliary Firefighters play a huge roll so there can always be Full time Firefighters back at the hall ready if there's another fire.

Bottom line, it's nice to see Our Premier recognize how important things like that are to rural communities.

Wrestling

It was never my thing ... I didn't mind it in Grade 4 but that slowly died away with the insurgence of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!! Probably the best thing ever!! I digress ... Wrestling did take a hold of my life for about a 3 month period when I was 17. My younger brother was into it big time which forced me to watch it now and again. Then it got to the point where he wouldn't be around and I would be watching wrestling ... its pretty addicting!! Shortly after that I decided I didn't have time for wrestling and thus my wrestling career ended.

Now .... ITS BACK!! BSE Pro Wrestling comes to the Stockade on Sunday !! Not only is there going to be live wrestling ... but Randy and Mr Lahey are going to be there from the Trailer Park Boys !!! They're also hosting an after party at the Big I ... how perfect is that ... Randy and Mr Lahey hosting a party at the Big I?!!! Did I mention Traci Brooks is going to be there too... she's alright looking to say the least.

Tickets are at the HoJo .... and are pretty cheap!! The best part is all the money raised will go to the United Way!!

Win some tickets by Beaking the Breakfast Boys all this week!! Kind of like this ....

More Crue

Back after the street dance weekend, I hope everyone made it home without getting arrested. Its our last week of the "Show us Your Motley Crue" contest mainly because the show is Friday night in Saskatoon!! We've gotten a few e-mails from people as you can see below, and since the weekend we've gotten a few more .... enjoy !!









If your interested in sending us some pictures ... send them to Eaglecontrol@goldenwestradio.com!! Good Luck!

SHOW US YOUR MOTLEY CRUE!!

This is how you "Show Us Your Motley Crue" !!!!!!







Well done guys ... well done!!

Its another countdown ...

I think you would agree with me that count downs are probably worse than seeing someone in spandex that shouldn't be wearing spandex ... you know what I'm talking about. Everyone seems to have a countdown now a days .... 39 days left ... 38 days left ... 37 days till day 0 .... SHUT UP!! Count downs are terrible!! How old are you anyway, 12? Only 12 year olds do count downs!!

Now that I got that off my chest ... it's time for a count down!! Only 3 more sleeps till one of the biggest events of the summer hits Swifty. Our reputation is hinged on two events ... one of them is Frontier Days, and the other is The Street Dance! Those are the only two things my friends will come to town for ... well that and the Big I!!

Beverages, Bands, and Burgers ... and in that order!! Have fun at the Street Dance ... its the one time of year you literally run into everyone from Swift Current on the same street!!

Just a quick rant about Flag Football. The season started last night. Its a new season .... there are many rule changes ... there are new gadgets ... and for the first time in my flag football career ... we are playing without the River Boat Gambler .. Jimmy McGee!!! ( I know I probably spelt it wrong )

After last nights game, I realize that the new rule changes suck!! Spinning, jumping, laterals, sweeps ... it just wasn't meant to be that way!! Regardless, all the teams have to play with the same rules. Good Luck to all ... and as for the Riverboat Gambler, he will be missed!!

STP

Alright!! Back from the long weekend, that didn't really feel like the long weekend!! They always seem to go to fast.

So, the last post was about Velvet Revolver which only makes sense that I write about The Stone Temple Pilots. We all know the story ... Scott Weiland, lead singer of STP, joined Velvet Revolver after STP broke up. They made a few albums, then a couple months ago, Weiland left Velvet Revolver for a reunion with STP!!

Through all of this, Scott Weiland has been in rehab a couple times, been charged with a few DUI's .... and has been a part of some pretty bad press!! But ever since he's been with STP on their huge summer tour, there has been no crazy stories! No drunk driving, no rehab, no crazy rockstar blow ups ... until last weekend.

Check out this video. The band is performing "big empty" ... Weiland does this weird rant at the start ... then falls into the drums, then changes the words throughout!! At first, you think that maybe he meant to fall into the drums like that, but then you see how long the roadies take to fix what he obviously broke!! Check it out.



WELCOME BACK SCOTT!!
