Saskatchewan’s Water Security Agency (WSA) is investing more than $18 million in eastern Saskatchewan water infrastructure projects. Those projects manage water flow and provide infrastructure to communities in the region. Among the local projects that will see funding are the Dellwood Brook Dam and the Round Lake (Sinfield) Dam. 

A valiant effort by the East Central AAA 15U Dodgers as they fell to the Saskatoon Brewers last night in the Bridge City.  

While the Dodgers opened the scoring lone run in the 2nd inning, courtesy of a Grayden Jackson single, the Brewers started their march with a pair of runs in the bottom of the 2nd inning on a walk and a balk.  

It took less than half an hour for explanations, a question-and-answer period, and voting to conclude on Wednesday night as Humboldt Co-op members deliberated on the proposed amalgamation of the Humboldt and Muenster Co-ops. 

Like the vote with Muenster members the night before, the decision was a unanimous “yes” to proceed. Forty-eight Humboldt Co-op members, many with dual membership in the Muenster Co-op cast their ballots at Humboldt’s Legion Hall and at the Lanigan Legion. 

Republicans criticized U.S. President Joe Biden's record on foreign policy at the national convention in Milwaukee, as many party faithful called for America to step back from its contributions to the world. 

Wednesday's agenda and its theme of "Make America Strong Once Again" will give leaders around the world insight into the potential impact of a second Donald Trump presidency. 

"No NATO. I want America strong," said Kimberly Nguyen, wearing a star-spangled dress and draped in a Trump 2024 flag outside the convention.

Two people have died after an outbreak of listeriosis triggered a national recall of certain plant-based milks, the Public Health Agency of Canada said Wednesday.

Silk brand almond milk, coconut milk, almond-coconut milk and oat milk were recalled earlier this month, as was Great Value brand almond milk.

Most of the recalled products have best-before dates up to and including Oct. 4. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased.

The AGI booth at Ag in Motion is easy to find with it's large 16 foot mixed flow grain dryer on display.

On top of that dryer is AGI's new patent pending pre-cleaner for their NECO or AGI mixed flow grain dryers.

The pre-cleaner attaches to the grain dryer and removes any unwanted debris, such as beeswings, fines, and chaff from the grain before it enters the dryer.

Ron Kleuskens, a technical sales rep for AGI in Canada says the pre-cleaner system was in development last year and did some pretty extensive testing on farms.

After much hounding by federal officials, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control is giving Canadian dogs a slightly longer leash when it comes to new rules aimed at controlling the spread of rabies.

Health Minister Mark Holland said Wednesday that he's been able to secure some changes to the regulations for dogs entering the United States from Canada after a series of meetings in Washington, D.C.

"We made good progress, I think it significantly improves the situation, but it's not enough," he said.

Summertime means it's construction time. 

 That's been the case within Humboldt as a few streets have been getting some repairs done recently.  

After some rainy weather in June that caused some delays, a warm July with little precipitation has allowed work to move ahead.  

Director of Public Works Peter Bergquist says there are a few projects that are currently underway.
