Physiological Leaf Spot is suspected in a number of winter wheat fields in Southern Alberta.

Physiological leaf spot (PLS) appears as round or oval lesions that may be yellow or bleached white to gray in color. Lesions may also have a dark center with a narrow chlorotic (yellow) halos and tend to be more numerous toward the tip of the leaf blade. PLS lesions are often found in the upper canopy, and missing or rare on lower leaves.

Patel's dental clinic referred The Canadian Press to the husband, who said that he was in the process of booking travel to India for himself and the couple's one-year-old child.

For some people, the music, hairstyles, and clothing of 1985 are a part of history. For others, distant memories. For Brad Neduzak, the police chief of Morden Police Service, it was the year he stepped into the force.

Protests during the upcoming G7 leaders summit in Kananaskis, Alta., may be starkly different than demonstrations happening this week against immigration crackdowns in the United States.

A University of Toronto research group that has been monitoring the meetings of world leaders since 1998 says its analysis shows Canadian protests are more peaceful and smaller.

Tuesday evening the Legends Car Club presented a cheque for $31,155 to South Central Cancer Resource (SCCR). The money was raised through its annual Drive For Cancer and fundraising BBQ and Car Show.

"We started off a little slow, a couple of rain delays, we maybe didn't get as many wins early as we would have liked, but we're starting to come around. It's been a lot of fun, bit of a different group but it's been nice to get know some of the guys that haven't been here in the past."
