It’s the final test run for the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Friday as they meet the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the last preseason game.

The rip roaring two and four wheeled good time that is St. Gregor’s Shake Rattle and Roll is back. The good news is that last year’s inaugural counterpart, Shake Rattle and Race, also makes its return.

Community members, regional newcomers, and Indigenous elders came together for an enlightening exchange connected to a BC produced documentary chronicling the experiences of both immigrants and Indigenous people in Canada. “Common Territory” looked at narratives of displacement, belonging, and cultural preservation. The film focuses on life within the traditional territories of the Stó:lō peoples, also known as the Fraser Valley, through personal interviews with both Indigenous peoples and newcomers.   

The 18U AAA East Central Red Sox are back at the .500 mark following an 11-1 win over the Sask Five Marlins on Thursday night in Muenster.

Name That Tune was a great upbeat choice for a fun Friday.

Bernadette was the first to text in. She chose to play it safe and walk away with the $25.00 gift card. 

It was a good thing too as she didn't know the second song. 

Listen to our conversation below. 

You could be next to play tune in Friday mornings to hear the song of the day.

One of the contributors to wind is the Coriolis force. The Coriolis force arises from the fact that the Earth rotates. | Photo: File
Last issue, we talked about how the pressure gradient force is the main driving force of wind in our atmosphere and that it exists due to the unequal heating of the Earth’s surface.

Now, if we were to take a simple look at the Earth, this would mean that the polar regions would have high pressure because they are cold and the equatorial regions would be areas of low pressure because they are warm.
