history by allowing our stories to be heard and seen through these vi-gnettes,” Minister responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Kev-in Doherty said. “At a time when our province is experiencing record pop-ulation growth it is particularly fas-cinating to experience a live history performance about how it all started.” Visitors to both Government House and the RCMP Heritage Centre will be able to travel back in time through these engaging bilingual (English and French)

Plans are moving forward for the new 225 bed long-term care facility in Swift Current. The Province of Saskatchewan and the Cypress Health Region have elected to proceed with a design-build-finance-maintain pub-lic-private partnership (P3) procure-ment model for the project, and the health region will soon post tenders for advisors who will provide expertise and assistance during various elements of the planning and procurement process. “Tapping into the private sector expertise through a P3 process will generate innovative designs to im-prove services and increase operating efficiencies,” Minister responsible for SaskBuilds Don McMorris said. “A P3 process also creates incentives for the project to be delivered on time and on budget and will ensure the facility is properly maintained over the term of the agreement.” “The Palliser Regional Care Centre, Swift Current Care Centre and Prairie Pioneer Lodge have served our resi-dents, families, and staff members for many years,” Cypress Health Region Board Chair Tyler Bragg said. “But we are excited and looking forward to the planning and construction of the facility that will be designed around the specific needs of today’s residents and staff.” The long-term care facility will be built on 15 acres of a 30 acre parcel of land owned by the Cypress Health

Region that is adjacent to the region-al hospital. Initial analysis indicates there is value for money with a P3 model for this type of project. If the value for money is not proven during the procurement process, the health region and province will consider oth-er funding options. Regardless of the procurement model chosen, the Cypress Health Region will maintain full ownership of the facility and will operate all aspects of the health care provided within the facility. Existing health region staff will provide services for residents and maintain the provincial standards and guidelines that have been set for long-term care programs and services within the province. “Today’s announcement is another milestone that many people in our community and surrounding areas have been looking forward to for some time,” Swift Current Mayor Jerrod Schafer said. “By developing the proj-ect on a site adjacent to the hospital, educational, and recreational facili-ties, not only will there be immense efficiencies in operations but much greater programming opportunities.” The procurement process for the private partner is expected to start in mid-August and onsite work may be-gin as early as next spring. The capital construction cost of the facility will be determined through the competitive public private partnership bidding process.

• 1944: The battle for Carpiquet. At five o’clock, the Canadians attacked the German-occupied industrial suburb of Carpiquet - a key piece of territory needed to win the Normandy invasion. Only 150 teenagers from the Hitler Youth occupied Carpiquet, and the Canadians outnumbered the Germans by a ratio of 18 to one. But, to their advantage the Germans were positioned on higher ground and could move through a series of interconnected underground blockhouses. They also had a highly sophisticated radio intelligence squad which foresaw the movements of the Canadian forces. The Canadians failed to capture the Carpiquet airfield but did go on to claim the town of Caen. Of the 2000 Canadian men fighting at Carpiquet, 260 were injured and 117 were killed.Also on July 4 . . . • 1816: Distiller-businessman Hiram Walker is born in East Douglas, Mass. His Windsor, Ont.

BY FRANCIS DRAKE

What kind of day will tomorrow be? To find out what the stars say, read the fore-cast given for your birth sign.

For Thursday, July 4, 2013ARIES(March 21 to April 19)You might daydream a lot today. This

is a poor day for important decisionswith siblings, relatives and neighborsbecause it’s hard to focus.

TAURUS(April 20 to May 20)Avoid important financial decisions

today because you are guided more bydreamy wishes than reality. Be espe-cially careful about buying somethingluxurious.

GEMINI(May 21 to June 20)You’re in a dreamy state of mind

today, which means illusions almostbecome more important than reality.However, you’re also sensitive and quitepsychic today.

CANCER(June 21 to July 22)Today, subconscious influences are

strong with you, which is why yourviews might be distorted. Because ofthis, postpone important decisions andbe careful what you say.

LEO(July 23 to Aug. 22)You might feel sympathetic to the

needs of a friend today. You might evenwant to join efforts with others in a char-itable way to help someone in need.

VIRGO(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)You might confuse authority figures

today, or vice versa, you might be con-fused by them. This is a poor day forpeople to express themselves clearly.

LIBRA(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)Your appreciation of beauty is height-

ened, which is why you will enjoy beau-tiful surroundings, architectural build-ings, art galleries and museums. Treatyourself to something.

SCORPIO(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)This is a poor day to make important

SAGITTARIUS(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)Don’t let anyone trick you into taking

a guilt trip today, which is possible.Someone might be confused and dragyou into his or her world of unreality,especially if you want to lay blame.

CAPRICORN(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)Just continue with routine work on the

job today and avoid new ventures andimportant decisions. People are subtlyconfused today.

AQUARIUS(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)This can be a creative day for you,

PISCES(Feb. 19 to March 20)You might be sympathetic to a family

member today, but be leery of crocodiletears. Make sure what you’re dealingwith is real and not just someone’s per-sonal drama.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re inter-ested in others and whatever they’redoing, which is why many of you areinvolved with groups. Personally, youaspire to leave your mark in the world.You are faithful to loved ones and valueyour family roots. You often work in iso-lation for long periods of time on certainprojects. Good news! This will be one ofthe most powerful years of your life.Dream big!

You’re right the joke is older than everyone you know, unless you know someone who’s at least 164 years old. The joke reportedly first appeared in the March 1847 edition of Knicker-bocker, or New York Monthly Maga-zine.

A little bit of extra digging reveals the full text of the original joke read as follows: There are quips and quillets’ which seem actual conundrums, but yet are none. Of such is this:

Why does a chicken cross the street?

Do you give up? Well, then: Because it wants to get to the other side!’

Clearly, people of the mid-19th century were far more easily amused than we are today. I think. More chicken-style humor.

In addition to the standard answer, To get to the other side, here are many more possible answers to the

question Why did the chicken cross the road? Some of the answers are as follows:

Because it felt like it.Because it needed the exercise.Because she couldn’t fly.It wanted a change of scenary.It was collecting experiences for its next book.The light turned green.Because his mom was behind him with a list of chores.Because he and the cow were going to the mooooo-vie theater.It wanted to prove to the armadillo that it could be done.To avoid the rupture in the space-time continuum.To get away from the Colonel.(aka the icon of KFC)Because it was the pig’s day off.All the other chickens were doing it, and it just wanted to fit in.Because the road was there.Because he wanted to make everyone wonder why he crossed the road.

Things That Only Happen In Movies

If there is a deranged killer on the loose, this will coincide with a thunderstorm that has brought down all the power and phone lines in the vicinity. If staying in a haunted house, women should investigate any strange noises in their most re-vealing underwear. Interbreeding is genetically possi-ble with any creature from else-where in the universe. It is not necessary to say hello or goodbye when beginning or end-ing phone conversations. It is always possible to park di-rectly outside the building you are visiting. It does not matter if you are heav-ily outnumbered in a fight involv-ing martial arts -- your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors. It’s easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down. Kitchens don’t have light switch-es. When entering a kitchen at night, you should open the fridge door and use that light instead.
