TRANSCRIPT
Last weekend the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) sent three more wildland fire manage-ment staff to New South Wales, Australia, for a deployment of 38 days.
These specialists join eight other SPSA staff already in Australia help-ing crews battle bushfires. They will relieve those that deployed at the beginning of December as part of a Canadian contingent co-ordinated by the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre (CIFFC).
“Australia is in dire need of help and the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency is more than willing to answer that call,” SPSA President Marlo Pritchard said. “As a province well versed in evacuations and fighting wildfires, the province of Saskatchewan sends not only its assistance but also its heartfelt con-dolences to those affected by this tragedy.”
This is the third Saskatchewan deployment of Canadian firefighters to Australia under the Exchange of Wildland Fire Management Resources Agreement. Canada has called on Australian firefighters four times since 2015.
The original group has been help-ing to manage wildland fire incidents in the areas around Glen Innes, Grafton, Casino and Kempsey in the northeastern part of the state.
The National Resource Sharing Centre in Melbourne requested assistance from Canadian wildfire agencies to fight bushfires along the east coast of Australia.

Canadian fire management staff are filling operational, plan-ning and aviation roles.
A severe and early fire season in eastern Australia has led to fatal-ities, property loss and the destruction of large areas of New South Wales and Queensland.
Saskatchewan is a member of the CIFFC. When appropriate, Canadian provincial wildfire agencies export firefighting resources at the request of other jurisdictions through mutual aid resource sharing agreements.

What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.
For Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2020ARIES(March 21 to April 19)Because your intuition is sharp today,
you have a strong sense of what bosses, parents and VIPs want. This means you know exactly what to say to them.
TAURUS(April 20 to May 20)Today you want to escape somewhere,
either literally through travel or through your imagination. This is why stories, mysteries, movies and entertaining diver-sions appeal to you.
GEMINI(May 21 to June 20)Because you feel sympathetic, you
might use shared property or access to the resources of others to help someone in need. You might do fundraising. Postpone important decisions until tomorrow.
CANCER(June 21 to July 22)Today a heart-to-heart talk with a part-
ner or close friend will be honest and meaningful. Listen to what someone else has to say.
LEO(July 23 to Aug. 22)Work-related ideas are imaginative and
unusual today. They might be doable; they might not be. Wait until tomorrow to be sure.
VIRGO(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)You are definitely in touch with your
muse today, which is why you are full of imaginative possibilities. You see new ways to approach creative projects, and this is exciting.
LIBRA(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)A family discussion will be mutually
sympathetic today. Someone will care about what you have to say, and you will care about what this person has to say.

This is good.SCORPIO(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Don’t worry if you spend a lot of time
today daydreaming or being lost in a fantasy world. Sometimes we need to have a mental getaway to clear out the cobwebs.
SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)If shopping, you will be tempted to buy
luxurious, elegant items. Avoid doing this this afternoon. Wait until tomorrow to be sure you have no regrets.
CAPRICORN(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)Your sensitivity to and awareness of
subtle aspects around you is strong today. In discussions with others, you will have a much clearer sense of what is going on.
AQUARIUS(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Because your imagination is height-
ened today, you can contribute something to a creative project. Trust your hunches and work with your ideas, but wait until tomorrow to commit.
PISCES(Feb. 19 to March 20)If you can help a friend today, you will,
because this will make you feel good. You also will enjoy being involved in charitable activities to benefit someone.
YOU BORN TODAY You are reserved and practical but
humorous. You can multitask efficiently because you are organized. You are not a quitter. Finally, this year your hard work will start to pay off! Simplify your life and focus on how to build solid founda-tions. Work with purpose. Physical exer-cise will be important, which is why you should explore enjoyable physical activi-ties.
Birthdate of: David Bowie, rock star; Elvis Presley, singer/actor; Noah Cyrus, actress/singer.

Boating in the fall offers colourful vistas, quiet anchorages and excellent fishing but it is not without its challenges that necessitate self-sufficiency and taking some addition-al precautions to keep from running into trouble. The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation want to remind all boaters en-joying the fall season on the water to follow these tips to ensure that their excursions are both safe and enjoyable. Before heading out, be sure to check the weather forecast. The mixing of warm and cold air can quickly spawn high winds and waves making it treacherous for small boats. Fog, too, is an issue at this time of year making visibility difficult. Should boaters find themselves in a fog bank, they should proceed slowly and sound their horn at regular intervals to alert other boat-ers of their presence. Well into October, daytime temperatures can occasionally be balmy but dressing for the water temperature will help slow the onset of hypothermia should the unexpect-ed happen and the boater find himself in the water. Accidental cold water immer-sion can be shocking, but they shouldn’t panic. It may take a minute or so to get their breathing under control after the initial shock but they will have at least 10-
