Tire Stewardship wants solution to tire stockpile The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities held its midterm meeting on November 7-8 in Regina. A number of issues topped the agenda, including a presentation by the Tire Stewardship of Saskatchewan (TSS). With the backing of SARM, TSS is making it a priority in 2018 to help support a solution for Assiniboia to address the abandoned stockpiles of tires and address public health and safety concerns. The Tire Stewardship of Saskatchewan Inc. is the new approved program operator for the Scrap Tire Recycling Program in Saskatchewan. In early 2017 the Minister of Environment established an independent advisory committee to conduct a program review and provide recommendations for improvements based on extensive stakeholder engagement. The review resulted in the Ministry issuing new regulations and guidelines for the approved program operator in keeping with these recommendations. When the Saskatchewan Scrap Tire Corporation (SSTC) decided to wind
down its operations, the Retail Council of Canada and the Western Canada Tire Dealers stepped forward to establish a new organization, the TSS, to operate the program and ensure continuity of service for retailers. The TSS took over status quo operations on September 1 and has been coordinating closely with the SSTC to provide a smooth transition. At the end of September, the TSS submitted a proposed Product Stewardship Program to the Environment Minister for approval to operate the program between 2018 and 2020. The TSS recently received its approval. According to TSS, it aims to operate an efficient tire recycling program across Saskatchewan. TSS wants to have the best tire recycling program in Canada. It intends to provide effective stewardship to avoid the hazards of safety and health that scrap tires can present. TSS is also looking to improve the environment and support industry and economic success to get the most value from consumer-paid tire recycling fees. Continued on Page 3

SARM convention tackles tough issues Continued from Front Page TSS plans to work together with stakeholders, the provincial government and contracted service providers to collect, process and recycle scrap tires responsibly in Saskatchewan. TSS wants to operate a province-wide, effective recycling program on behalf of retailers to ensure they responsibly meet their legislated obligations for scrap tire management in Saskatchewan. It will ensure that retailers receive responsive scrap tire collection that is conducted in a cost efficient, environmentally responsible manner to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and avoid stockpiling. It will also promote a sustainable system for scrap tire processing which encourages timely recycling of scrap tires into higher value end uses and markets to support a viable industry in Saskatchewan. TSS plans to provide programming and solutions to deal with legacy scrap tires to avoid tires going back into landfills and
prevent the health and safety hazards of legacy stockpiles. It intends to manage program operations in a transparent, accountable and efficient manner as a stewardship organization to get the most value from consumer-paid tire recycling fees. There is also a consumer educational element to the tire recycling program. The biggest changes for the Product Stewardship Program is that there will be a smaller, industry-focused board of directors and the TSS Advisory Committee and Industry Working Groups will be set up. The groups will be focused on good governance and stewardship. The PSP is working to improve efficiencies for retailers and for TRF remittance, reporting and communication. The program plans to implement a zone collection model as well as a two-tiered processor incentive payment model. There is also planned programming to improve compliance among retailers, collectors and processors. Changes will be implemented in

The new Tire Stewardship of Saskatchewan plans to make Assiniboia a priority in 2018. a phased approach over the three-year approval period. Legacy tire programming envisions plans for a Legacy Clean-up Fund and a coordinated community and municipal pickup days. In 2018, the TSS’s priority will be to support a solution for Assini-
boia’s abandoned stockpiles to address public health and safety concerns Other hot topics discussed at the meetings were rural crime and the wildfires. SARM is calling for more support for the victims of wildfires which are not insurable like floods and other natural events.

Shopping frenzy needs to include local business
W
ith little more than a month left until Christmas, families gear up for a frenzy of shopping for gifts. We’ve all seen the videos of two people fighting over a pair of shoes, each not wanting to give up the single shoe they are holding. We might not consider ourselves that extreme, but most find themselves battling the crowds at some point in December. For many in the rural regions, they take a trip to the cities to shop. Not only do they stock up on all the purchases, usually at sale prices, but they can also take in the ambiance. They can browse through richly decorated malls playing Christmas jingles non-stop. Of course, the new trend is to order online. This saves busy parents gas money, time and costs. However, with this option, they miss out on the whole atmosphere and Christmas spirit. There is often as much fun in browsing for gifts than there is in receiving. The Christmas-New Year season is a huge revenue generator for businesses. For the rural store, this is no less true. But with the trend to shop in larger markets and online, the smaller rural store cannot compete and loses out on this valuable revenue stream at this time of the year. So, if we care about the communities that we live in, shouldn’t we do at least some of our shopping there, if only to support local business. And local businesses employ local residents and support the many local volunteer organizations. It’s an important feedback system that sustains the local communities. Revenues from your city shopping stay in the city, either as tax dollars or as spending by those businesses. Online shopping sites are often connected to U.S. stores and chances are the profits are not even reinvested into Canada. The Panama Papers and the Paradise Papers making the news remind us that the very wealthy — like those owners of the big stores offering us rock-bottom pricing, do not shop or invest locally or even pay much of a local tax, preferring to hide away their profits in tax shelters. Somehow, shoppers in small communities have to balance obtaining reasonably-priced gifts with supporting local economies. One option is the trade show. Assiniboia and surrounding towns have held trade shows and Christmas fairs in the months prior to December. There, one can find a variety of wares made locally or sold locally. There are often some pretty amazing items like knitted and crocheted blankets, Western style wood furniture, handmade jewelry and other products. Without giving away any of my gift ideas, this year, I made a point of finding gifts that are made locally and are characteristic of our southwestern region of the province. It was rather fun exploring trade shows and local shops. These make one-of-a-kind gifts for friends and family in other provinces who are not familiar with the beauty of this southwestern corner of Saskatchewan. Hopefully, by supporting local craft persons and artisans, this will benefit the entire local community. On another note, as the Canada150 year winds down, it brought to mind how often we sing, or rather, do not sing, our national anthem. It even struck me at the Assiniboia Remembrance Day events. I asked myself when was the last time I was at an event where we sang “God Save the Queen”. I was also reminded that there is a second verse. Does anybody in Canada even know the second verse of “God Save the Queen”? Radio stations commonly feature debates about whether O Canada should still be played before sports competitions, and many have banished God Save the Queen altogether. The practice of singing O Canada before events has fallen by the wayside. In generations past the singing of our national anthem was a daily activity at assembly, and it was then easily memorized for life. As multicultural people, Canadians do not have a lot of commonalities that tie them together to generate national pride. The anthem is one of these elements. Somewhere along the way, national pride lost out to political correctness and expediency. Perhaps as the sun sets on Canada150, we will be inspired to contemplate what makes us Canadian and what are the symbols of our pride.
God is with us
Submitted by The Rev. Bob Scott, Apostolic Church of Pentecost of Canada For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6 NIV). For many, a week from this Sunday will mark the beginning of Advent, the season during which the birth of Jesus is celebrated. When we hear of a new little life coming into the world, it is usually a time of excitement and expectation, at least it has been for me as I awaited the birth of my children and grandchildren. I suspect that, for many, it is the sole reason for their seasonal joy. For others, it is only one of two occasions when their thoughts turn to spiritual matters. For either, it falls short of the real reason for the rejoicing we should all experience. We are not just celebrating the birth of a
child. If we were, it would be just a sanctified baby shower. We are fortunate to be able to know this child’s destiny. Seven hundred years before Jesus’ birth, the prophet Isaiah spoke about his purpose in coming. He came to die for us. While he was on earth he taught about God’s amazing love and forgiveness for those who would put their faith in him. He came to call us to repentance and commitment. He taught that we should follow his example. Unfortunately, for many of us, a season intended to represent this sort of sacrificing love has become a time of much frustration and frantic activity. This Christmas, I pray we will discover that there is much more to celebrate. The earnest hope is that, this Christmas, more people and nations will seek direction from the Wonderful Counsellor, give their devotion to our Mighty God who is the everlasting example of a loving Father, and find time to contemplate the calm that only the Prince of Peace can give.

SNOW REMOVAL
During the winter months, snow and ice on sidewalks can seriously impair the ability of people to get around safely – especially elderly and those with mobility restrictions. For that reason, the Town of Assiniboia’s Bylaw No. 481 Section 7, states ”Every occupant and in case there is not occupant the owner thereof of every house, shop, building, lot or parcel of land fronting or abutting on any street or streets where there are sidewalks shall within twenty-four hours of the falling or depositing thereon of any snow or dirt or ice cause the same to be removed from the said sidewalk in front of or adjacent to such house, shop, building, lot or parcel of land.” We ask when shoveling, that you refrain from putting snow or ice on the streets as it can create hazards for traffic and hampers our removal efforts. Snow can be placed on the boulevard or your own yard. Sidewalk snow removal will be addressed by Bylaw Enforcement on a written complaint basis. We encourage residents to be a snow angel and assist those neighbours who may need some help removing snow. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Sports Football association gives player awards Assiniboia Minor Football Association presented awards to the Assiniboia Pee Wee Rockets football team on November 12. Although eight awards were presented to top players, Graham Gagne, one of the coaches, noted that he wished that he could hand out an award to each of them because they were all deserving of an award. “They are really a great group of players,” echoed Trevor Peterson, head coach for the Assiniboia Pee Wee Rockets. “It was an enjoyable year. I’ve never seen players improve as much as they did this year.” The Assiniboia Pee Wee Rockets were an exceptional team this year. They defied the odds, playing against city teams to win the Band City Bowl and finishing third in the Moose Jaw Minor Football League. Linda Berner emceed the award’s night that included presentations of top awards, recognition of each player, the coach’s awards, some CFL trivia and a pizza supper. A PowerPoint photo display from games of the season set the tone for the evening. The 2017 Assiniboia Pee Wee Rockets Most Improved player award was given to Austin Nelson, who was shifted from defensive to offensive line, and the Coach’s Award went to Carter Gagne, who never missed a practice. The Offensive Linesman award was given to Hayden Belles, and the Best FirstYear Wide Receiver award went to Kai Packet. Marshall Ruzicka took home the Best Defensive Player award. He led the team in sacks and fumble recoveries. McCoy Berner received the Best Defensive Linesman award. Quinton Fettes was awarded the Best Offensive Player award, and he had previously won the Most Valuable Player award for the league. The Most Tackles Award went to Tyler Franks who had 33 tackles. Ruzicka and Casey Weisbeck had 31 tackles and McCoy Berner and Carter Gagne had 28 tackles. After this set of awards, every player received a commemorative team picture as a way to recognize their contribution. “Everybody deserves something. Every one of you contributed in some way,” Gagne told the assembled players.
The Assiniboia Pee Wee Rockets team included: Austin Nelson, Brady Hildebrandt, Brett Knudsen, Carter Gagne, Casey Weisbeck, Connor Selody, Cooper Berner, Grier Peterson, Hayden Belles, Hayden Mansuy, Hudson Tallon, Jake Starke, Jett Williams, Josiah McDonald, Kai Packet, Keaton Hillmer, Luke Packet, Marshall Ruzicka, Mason Rasmussen, McCoy Berner, Merit Moneo, Nicholas Nelson, Quinton Fettes, Seth Harper, Tyler Franks, Van Sinclair and Xander Dijkstra. The team was coached by Peterson along with assistant coaches Gagne, Dave Starke, Robert Berner and Josh Benham. Each of the coaches was presented with an award along with words of gratitude for their dedication to the players. Also receiving recognition awards were the team manager and Assiniboia Minor Football Association board, Carla Hildebrandt, Linda Berner, Bev McDonald and Camille Mansuy, the parents and next year’s players. The Assiniboia Pee Wee Rockets competed in the Moose Jaw league with such powerhouse teams as Moose Jaw, Estevan and Weyburn. While these cities have the luxury of selecting a full complement of players, the Rockets players came from Assiniboia and surrounding towns like Lafleche, Fife Lake, Coronach and Rockglen. “The key to their success was how well the athletes practiced and learned the systems,” noted Peterson. The coaches were very helpful and were as dedicated to the team as the players. Both players and coaches travelled three times a week for practices and for weekend games. “I’m really proud of what we accomplished this year. I’m most proud of the Weyburn game,” stated coach Peterson. Although the Weyburn PAR Contracting Ravens defeated the Assiniboia Pee Wee Rockets by two points, the score actually reflected how the Assiniboia Pee Wee Rockets defense muffled the offense of the Ravens, which never lost a game all season. There is only two-and-a-half months of football, so the season is intense. “It’s the best football year I have ever experienced,” said Gagne full of emotion. Assiniboia is making a name for itself in school football.

Tickets going fast for Weyburn Canadiens Alumni tour Assiniboia Senior Rebels earn wins
The Assiniboia Senior Rebels continued their winning streak adding two more wins to their standings after a pair of road games on November 17-18. The Rebels travelled to Mossbank on November 17 and snatched a win from the Blades in a low-scoring 2-1 victory. Solid goaltending by Spencer Bushell kept the visiting Rebels in the game. Uncharacteristically, there were no goals scored in the first period, and a lone goal by Derek Lessmeister put the Rebels ahead going into the third period. During the last 20 minutes of the game, Keaton Miller tied up the score for Mossbank, but halfway through the third, Brandon McGillis of the Rebels snatched a win for the visitors. The Senior Rebels made a trip to Coronach on November 18 to take on the Merchants defeating the home team 8-2. This was the second meeting between the two teams this season. Coronach upset last season’s champions with a victory in the opening game of this new season. The Rebels upped their game starting off with four goals in the first period, including two from Austin Grywachewski, and one each from Brandon McGillis and Derek Lessmeister. Grywachewski completed a hat trick early in the second period to see the Rebels lead 5-0 before Coronach’s Curtis Noll put the home team on the board with a power play goal. Riley Balerud finished the second period for Assiniboia with a goal. The Merchants netted one more early in the third period before the Rebels snagged two more goals from Brandon McGillis and Riley Balerud. It was a quiet game for penalties with just 10 handed out for minor infractions. Spencer Bushell had another solid night of net-minding. Elsewhere in the Notekeu League, Coronach downed Hodgeville 7-5 on home ice, while Rockglen took the game against Gravelbourg to a 3-2 overtime win on November 17. On November 18 Glentworth also defeated Gravelbourg with a similar score of 8-2 in Gravelbourg. Mossbank defeated Hodgeville 4-3. Upcoming games include Rockglen meeting Assiniboia at the Assiniboia Civic Centre, and Glentworth visiting Hodgeville on November 24. Glentworth faces Coronach on November 25, Gravelbourg hosts Hodgeville and Mossbank goes to Rockglen. In the standings, Assiniboia ranks in first place with three wins in four starts to the season, Coronach follows also with three wins in four games. Glentworth holds third spot with two wins in three games and Gravelbourg, Rockglen and Mossbank each have one win in three outings so far. Hodgeville ranks in the final spot and has yet to win a game.

Junior Rebels score 16 goals on the road The Southern Junior B Rebels hockey team took to the road for games on the weekend of November 18-19. The team’s first stop was at the Kerrobert Arena where the Assiniboia team won 9-7 in a high scoring, chippy game. There were plenty of chances for both teams to get ahead with the Rebels snagging 30 shots on goal and the Rage topping them with 34 shots. A highly motivated Rebels team got off to a good start with three early goals in the first four minutes of the game. Dakota Helland opened the scoring with an unassisted goal just seconds into the first period followed by goals from Randy Stowe and Bryce Hall. But late in the first period, the West Central Rage turned the momentum their way and scored four unanswered goals, putting the home team ahead 4-3 as they headed to the locker rooms for the break. Keegan Tiringer, Landon Longmire, Nayte Zip and Zach Dubois scored for the Rage. In the second period, Kerrobert picked up where it left off, netting three more goals by Lydon Jellison, Cole Bohnet and Jackson Bauml. The Rebels spent most of the rest of the period trying to unlock the Rage defense. Dakota Helland found the net near the end of the second period and launched an Assiniboia comeback. Randy Stowe, Tyde Hutchinson and Carson Cayer followed up with goals of their own to tie the game 7-7 to end the second period. Matt Kesslering sealed the Rebels’ win with two more goals in the third period. Kade Smith and Braidon Berezowski shared net-minding duties for the night. The Rebels then headed to Delisle to take on the Chiefs on November 19, falling to the home team 9-7. The Chiefs also edged the Rebels in shots on goal with 34-32. The Rebels got off to a promising start with Matt Kesslering netting a goal and continuing his scoring streak started in the third period of the previous game. But Delisle came back to put the home team ahead by one going into the second period. Bryce Hall tied up the game early in the second period,
but the Rebels euphoria was short-lived as the Chiefs took control of the play and scored three goals by Josh Roberts, Dylan Marien and Cameron MacDonald. Trey Tendler added another point for the Rebels to end the second period. The third period featured an offensive treat with wide open end-to-end action and eight goals. After Delisle netted their sixth goal early in the third, the visiting Rebels fought back with three goals of their own to tie the game 6-6. Scoring came from Trey Tendler, Tristin Rousseau and Matt Kesslering. After some back and forth goals from the two teams, the Chiefs pulled ahead and put two late shots in the net to pull ahead of the Rebels with a final score of 9-7. Kade Smith was in net for the Rebels. After 14 games this year, the team has five wins, seven losses and two overtime losses. The Rebels are in fourth place in the southern division standings. Leading the scoring for the Junior Rebels are Bryce Hall with 12 goals and 14 assists, Dakota Helland with 12 goals and six assists, Trey Tendler with nine goals and 16 assists, Tyde Hutchinson with seven goals and seven assists, Randy Stowe with seven goals and three assists and Matt Kesslering with six goals and eight assists.

RCMP asking for public help with area crimes Sometime between the late evening of November 5 and the early morning hours of November 6, a business was broken into in Limerick. The business owner confirmed entry was made and items were missing from the establishment. The Assiniboia RCMP along with the Swift Current Forensic Identification Section continue to investigate. The RCMP asks that if anyone observed any suspicious individuals or vehicles in or around the Limerick area during the break and enter to contact their local detachment. Sometime between October 8 and October 23, person or persons unknown threw thrash onto private property in the Rural Municipality of Stonehedge. The Assiniboia RCMP reminds the public that throwing trash and garbage onto private property

Contact the Assiniboia RCMP at (306) 642-7110 or call Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), text SaskTel at *8477, or submit a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com for any information on these crimes.

Winter weights now in effect Winter weights took effect on November 16 for all applicable provincial highways, with the exception of southwest Saskatchewan. “With Saskatchewan’s export-based economy, trucking plays a major role in getting our goods to port,” said David Marit, Minister of Highways and Infrastructure and MLA of Wood River. “Winter weights season allows shippers to haul heavier loads during colder winter months, resulting in fewer trips and cost savings for the industry.” When a roadbed is frozen, secondary weight highways contain the same strength

as primary weight highways, which supports the heaviest legal loads on Saskatchewan roads. Shippers using secondary weight highways benefit the most because this allows efficient movement from secondary to primary weight highways. Winter weights are weather-dependent, typically beginning mid-November and are lifted on March 15. As in the past, when temperatures rise and roadbeds remain soft, the ministry may remove winter weights in some areas. Commercial truckers and shippers can check online at www. saskatchewan.ca/truckingweights.

Christmas comes early to Mom’s Florist Mom’s Florist on Centre Street in Assiniboia brought some early seasonal cheer with its Christmas open house event held on the evening of November 15. Fabulous arrangements of trees, decorations, giftware and other holiday season items were on show throughout the store. There were elaborately trimmed trees in brilliant red and tame turquoise, individual ornaments, collections of Christmasthemed figurines, picture frames, jewelry, gourmet foods and floral displays.
Festival of Trees draw
Shop owner, Erin Eberle, and her staff spent the previous week setting up the charming displays on both levels. The seasonal arrangements will be up until after Christmas. Customers had a chance to browse displays and socialize over a snack and beverage in a relaxed setting. The shop offered discounts and prizes to shoppers. This annual event gives Eberle and her floral team an opportunity to spend some time with her customers.

Agricultural estimates have slight drop
Paisley Teacup Studio has grand opening The Paisley Teacup Studio and Market hosted its grand opening on November 17-18 welcoming the community and new shoppers to Assiniboia’s newest business. The opening included door prizes and giveaway samples of Country Chic Paint. The Paisley Teacup is owned and operated by Janielle Simard. The store offers paints, women’s accessories, stationary items, cards, jewelry lines, books, and gift items. What makes the business unique is that it also provides a creative community space for workshops. Simard has hosted a series of successful and popular workshops in October on the fundamentals of furniture painting. Upcoming workshops include a Wood and Words workshop on November 29 and Santa’s Little Mama and Me Workshop on November 25 where mothers and their children can get creative with a wood decoration. There are two workshops in December, A Creative Christmas, on December 6 and December 13. Future studio events will be posted to the Teacup’s Facebook page.
The November U.S. World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report reduced its 2017 Red Meat and Poultry production dropping slightly to 100.430 billion lbs. from the October estimates. U.S. meat production for 2017 is estimated to be 2.9 per cent higher compared to 2016. Leading the way in meat production increases in 2017 are projected to come from beef (+4.7 per cent), pork (+3.2 per cent) and broilers (+2.1 per cent). Beef production estimates for 2017 are estimated at 26.400 billion lbs. in November, down 0.56 per cent from the October estimates. Beef production estimates were reduced from the previous month on a slower than expected marketing pace for fed cattle and lighter carcass weights in the fourth quarter. U.S. Red Meat and Poultry production for 2018 is expected to further increase from the current 2017 projections by an estimated 3.2 billion lbs., which is a three per cent increase, to reach 103.6 billion lbs. of meat production. Beef production is projected to continue leading the way in 2018 with increases of 4.62 per cent, followed by pork (+4.60 per cent), and broilers (+1.77 per cent). U.S. current crop projections for November put the harvested corn acreage at 83.1 million acres, down from 86.7 million acres the previous year, but the same from the October estimated acres. However, corn yields were estimated at 175.4 bushels/acre, up 3.6 bushels/acre from 171.8 bushels/acre in the October estimates. USDA corn production was estimated at 14.578 billion bushels, up 298 million bushels or 2.1 per cent from the October estimates, but down 570 million bushels or 3.8 per cent from the previous year. While domestic corn usage and exports numbers were increased, the ending corn stocks were estimated to increase to 2.487 billion bushels, compared to 2.340 billion bushels in the October estimates.

Broken Arrow Youth Ranch to stage Road to Bethlehem The Broken Arrow Youth Ranch near Wood Mountain will be staging a Christmas event called Road to Bethlehem on December 8-9. This is an interactive live event that takes visitors back in time on a journey to Bethlehem. Visitors will be guided along a route, encountering individuals in character from the Biblical story of events leading up to the birth of Jesus in a stable. Along the route, visitors will see Roman soldiers on horseback gathering everyone for the census and other figures in historical character. It culminates at a stable where they will find an individual in the character of Mary with a baby. This event, which was last presented a few years ago, is family-oriented and suitable for all ages. Following the program, the visitors and volunteers can gather for coffee, socializing and music.
Popular cookies for the holidays Many people enjoy baking come the holiday season, and perhaps no dish is more synonymous with holiday baking than cookies. Children leave cookies out for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, while adults may indulge and enjoy an extra cookie or two at family gatherings or holiday office parties. Cookies come in all shapes and sizes, so bakers have an array of options at their disposal when planning their holiday menus. Chocolate chip cookies may be among the most popular types of cookies, and bakers who want to capitalize on that popularity while giving loved ones something a little different may want to try the following recipe for “Double Chocolate Chip Cookies” from Maxine Clark’s “Chocolate: Deliciously Indulgent Recipes for Chocolate Lovers” (Ryland, Peters & Small).
Country Christmas
Photo by Marusia Kaweski
The Broken Arrow Youth Ranch hosted a Country Christmas in 2016. One of the activities was making Western style candles.
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Makes about 12 large cookies 5 5 5 1 1⁄2 1 3 1⁄4 2⁄3
tablespoons unsalted butter, softened tablespoons granulated sugar tablespoons light brown sugar, sifted large egg, beaten teaspoon pure vanilla essence or chocolate extract cup plus 2 tablespoons self-rising flour tablespoons unsweetened cocoa teaspoon salt cup (or more) dark and white (or milk) chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
A heavy, nonstick baking sheet
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla essence. Sift the flour with the cocoa and salt in a small bowl. Fold into the egg mixture with the chocolate chips. Place 4 heaping tablespoonsfuls of the mixture on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them well apart.
