MooseJaw

Many Saskatchewan producers are regarding the recent and widespread rainfall as a positive sign for things to come, despite the variable impact it has had on actual crop and pasture conditions.

It was noted that, in some areas, the rain came just in time to carry crops forward through flowering and grain fill, while in others the rain came too late to make much of a difference to crops or pastures.

The Medicine Hat Mavericks scored a total of 33 runs as they swept a two-game series over the Moose Jaw Miller Express this week. 

Last night, a six-run sixth inning led the Mavericks to a 16-10 win. 

Medicine Hat opened with a pair of runs in the top of the first. Moose Jaw then tied the game in the bottom of the second. Eduardo Saenz scored off a Tanner DeGrazia single, and Robert Estrada crossed home plate on a passed ball.

It's time for Facebook Friday. I find the best from the best.

Here's an aging friend who says, "Every night around 10:30 I realize it's only 6:30."

I like this one, "Don't leave your candy alone near me. I will eat your Snickers and then help you look for it."

This funny gal I follow says, "Am I perfect? No. But do I try my best and keep a positive attitude? Also no."

If you're single you might like this, "The best part of a relationship is the very beginning when you haven't met yet and you're single."

Meet Doodles — a curious, clever, and charming 6-month-old bunny who’s ready to hop into your heart!

Doodles is all about fun! He loves knocking over his stacking cups like a little champ, and when it’s time to wind down, he’s all about gentle pets and snuggles.

If you are interested in adopting Doodles, you can head over to the Moose Jaw Humane Society website, MJHS.ca, to fill out an adoption application. 

Cody Fajardo will be wearing a different shade of green tonight as he makes his first start as an opponent since leaving the Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The Roughriders host the Edmonton Elks, who have made a quarterback change, electing to replace Tre Ford with the former Roughriders quarterback.

In his three seasons in Saskatchewan, Fajardo led the green and white to the Western Final on two occasions. Following the 2022 season, the Roughriders went in a different direction**,** signing Trevor Harris.

The temporary lane restriction on Wakamow Valley's Sioux Bridge has been extended until 6 p.m. today.

The bridge will remain open to traffic and pedestrians, but lane width is restricted, and vehicle speed is limited to 30 km/h.

They scored 33 runs in two games. The Medicine Hat Mavericks enjoyed their time at Ross Wells Park in Moose Jaw this week. They beat the Miller Express 16-10 last night.

Jeremy Freeman Junior and Aaron Vulcano hit home runs for the winners. Vulcano went five-for-five with 4 RBI.

William Edwards hit his 9th homer of the season for the Millers who travel to Weyburn to play the Beavers tonight.

In other Western Canadian Baseball League action last night, the Regina Red Sox lost to Lethbridge 5-4 and the Saskatoon Berries shutout Swift Current 9-0.

The crime severity index statistics released by Statistics Canada are encouraging, according to Moose Jaw Police Service acting chief Rick Johns. 

The statistics showed crime rates were down, with a total of 3,734 actual incidents in 2024 — a decrease of 4.7 per cent. 

The Moose Jaw Police Service cleared 1,933 cases in 2024, compared to 1,595 in 2023. This included 1,746 cases cleared by charges. 

Moose Jaw’s reputation as Canada’s premier military aviation city was on full display July 12, when the Snowbirds’ Hometown Event drew over 1,600 spectators to the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport for a sold-out show — and raised $18,000 toward future airport improvements.
