A southwest town was buzzing with family fun and wild rodeo action this past weekend during the 49th annual Kyle Community Rodeo. 

Mitch Day, chairperson of the Kyle Recreation Board, shared that in addition to the CCA-sanctioned rodeo, the weekend also included live music from Bakersfield, a slo-pitch tournament, kids' activities, beach volleyball, and a free pancake breakfast. 

The July 29-August 4 crop report courtesy of the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture is sharing that most crops around the province are seeing rapid development due to recent hot, and rainy conditions, but that's not exactly the case for West Central.

The mayor of Richmound is calling for help from provincial officials.

In a recent update shared on Facebook by Richmound's Mayor Brad Miller, he claims Romana Didulo and others staying at the former Richmound school are pumping sewage into the park.

Referring to them as a "QAnon Cult", Miller shared a video of a hose that's pumping liquid away from the school and into the surrounding grounds, including the local ball diamonds and park. 

Major institutional investors are asking the federal government to give them a reason to invest more at home in the upcoming fall budget, says the Liberal MPs leading budget consultations across Canada.

The RCMP is introducing a drone corridor along part of the Canada-U.S. border in an effort to boost security.

Drones are to patrol the border in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba in what the RCMP says is a trial.

The force says the corridor has been established with help from Transport Canada and drone patrols will target illegal activity including smuggling and drug trafficking.

It says the corridor extends from the ground to 500 feet in the air and one nautical mile north of the border, or just under two kilometres.

The Town of Kindersley is alerting residents following recent reports of coyote sightings along the Kindersley Community Walking Trail at the Motherwell Resevior.

Coyotes are common throughout North America, frequently found in urban areas as well as open natural spaces such as parks and greenbelts. While sightings in residential neighborhoods can be concerning, experts say it is important to respect these animals and avoid disturbing their natural habitat.

It’s a question as old as time itself: Which is better Star Wars or Star Trek?

Although they’re two sides of the same coin, there are definitely people who see one as far superior to the other.

Below are a few pros and cons to consider when making your choice:

Star Wars — Pros

• High action, fantastical concepts

• Pod racing (think NASCAR with no rules)

• Jedi (laser swords and telekinetic powers)

Cons

Due to a power outage at the river pump station in Kindersley over the weekend, water was briefly drawn from the CN reservoir.

Residents may notice discoloured water or an “earthy” smell.

Officials confirm the water remains safe for drinking and continues to meet all parameters set by the Water Security Agency.

The situation is being monitored, and normal supply is expected to resume shortly.

Just a few weeks removed from their run to the finals in the Fertile Valley Baseball League, the Rosetown Angels put on a show at Baseball Sask Tier 4 provincials in Hanley this past weekend, but fell one win short of taking home the title.

The Angels arrived in Hanley for the first game of the tournament on Friday morning at 9:00 AM, and came out of the gates hot with a 20-3 win against the host Hanley White Sox. Their next game wasn't until Saturday at 2:00 PM against the Pasquia Angels, Rosetown earning a 6-5 win against their fellow Halo's, a team they would see again.
