Rob: Take Five with Carnie and Carmichael featuring Moose Caw City Manager Maryse Carmichael talking about a number of ongoing issues and the things that are top of mind for Moose Jaw residents. First of all, let's talk about Main Street infrastructure renewal. City manager, we talked about that in a previous episode, telling us we're going to get it underway. And in fact, it is underway. 

While the Moose Jaw Warriors are enjoying their well-deserved WHL Championship win, they'll soon be preparing for the upcoming Memorial Cup in Saginaw, Michigan that starts next week.

The first game of the four-team, round-robin tournament will see the Warriors take on the host Saginaw Spirit one week from tonight. That game will be a 5:30 start, local time.

Rob: Now let's talk about back alley maintenance. This is something that has come up in my neighborhood a number of times over the years and some of the older neighborhoods in Moose Jaw, well, just about all the neighborhoods in Moose Jaw, some of the newer neighborhoods have garages with front entrances and nice driveways. But a lot of the more mature neighborhoods there are garages in back alleys on my block, for example, I think there's 8 or 10 garages that people need to access in the back alley. And it's a muddy mess in the spring.

The Moose Jaw Warriors are WHL Champions for the first time in their 40-year history!

Monday morning’s Provincial Court of Moose Jaw session turned into a semi-marathon as Ryan Buckton was denied. 

Buckton chose to self-represent and spoke for an extended period, leading Crown prosecutor Rob Parker to request Judge David Chow to move things along on the crowded docket. Chow ruled to deny Buckton's release from custody.

He is facing numerous charges, but because bail hearings come with an automatic publication ban, they cannot be reproduced for this article.  

Buckton is back in court on May 23.

Rob: Ice issues at the Moose Jaw Event Center. City Manager Maryse Carmichael alarming last night during game three of the Western Hockey League championship final.
