Humboldt

**Update Tuesday, July 14 11:45 am**

Further details have emerged from the collision that happened on Friday morning in Humboldt. 

A 35-year-old male from Humboldt died following a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of 11th Avenue and Main Street.  

An investigation determined that at approximately 11:00 am, a car and an SUV collided.  

It was a solid Saturday outing for the Marysburg Royals at home as they picked up a pair of wins over the Saskatoon River Pirates. River Pirates' pitcher Aiden Leibrecht gave the Royals a tough time at the plate in the first innings of the opener, putting the Royals in a four-run hole. But the seasoned bats of the Blue found their groove and overtook their Saskatoon opposition, winning 6-4.  

Thomas Lessmesiter got the win. A couple errors aided in the comeback, plus hits by Cole Bauml and Nick Anderson sealed the deal.  

They may be chasing different dreams, but these two brothers share one destination—Team Saskatchewan at the Canada Cup. Competing in separate sports, their paths may have diverged, but their pride in their roots remains united. 

Easton Gosselin will be a member of Team Saskatchewan this week in Antigonish, Nova Scotia competing in the Football Canada Cup. 

Later this month, his brother Carson will be travelling to Nova Scotia as part of Saskatchewan’s entry into the Volleyball version of the Canada Cup. 

Humboldt will not only be represented by a player at the Football Canada Cup this week, but will be present on the officiating crew 

Stephen Gray will be in Antigonish, Nova Scotia as part of the officiating crew throughout the week.  

He said the selection process for officials began in March when an application was sent to the registered officials. Along with a letter of recommendation, Gray sent in his application and found out in mid-April that he was selected as part of the officiating crew.  

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand says the economy is becoming the primary focus of Canada's relationships in the Indo-Pacific — a shift that appears linked to Canada's recent moves to overcome its security dispute with India.

Anand was in Japan and Malaysia this week for her first trip to the region since taking over as foreign minister in May. Her message coming out of that trip was that Canada's foreign policy is shifting — though not abandoning — the priorities set by the previous Liberal government of former prime minister Justin Trudeau.

Water levels at Lake Diefenbaker are lower than normal this summer, but not to a significant extent, according to the Water Security Agency. 

The elevation of the lake is 553.51 metres, which is below the typical operating range due to low inflows so far in 2025. 

With a burst of summer heat followed by heavy rains, followed by more heat, lawns across Weyburn have exploded in growth, and local homeowners are eager to tame them. But according to Sherri Roberts, a professional agrologist and program head at the Ag and Food Production program with Sask Polytech, many people are making common mistakes that can do more harm than good. 

The Department of National Defence is looking at the possibility of complementing its incoming F-35 fleet with uncrewed combat aircraft.

Unclassified documents obtained by The Canadian Press show the department is researching various options for acquiring the emerging technology.

The documents suggest that purchasing a fleet of aerial combat drones that could fly alongside fighter jets could cost as much as $16 billion and would require hundreds of staff.

The perfect time to take part in Saskatchewan sport fishing is this weekend, as the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment holds the 36th annual summer Free Fishing Weekend. On July 12th and 13th, everyone in the province can experience recreational fishing on our lakes and rivers without an angling license. However, other fishing regulations are still in place, and the event does not apply within National Parks.

Prime Minister Mark Carney's chief of staff and the country's top public servant will be responsible for maintaining an ethics screen preventing him from making decisions that benefit his former employer, says a disclosure issued by the office of the ethics commissioner on Friday.
