Ajara DIas and Jiyeong Lee or Morse risked their lives in an attempt to save their neighbour from a burning building.

For their heroism, the Royal Canadian Human Association awarded them silver medals for bravery.

On March 8th of this year, Lee and Dias were returning to Morse with family and saw smoke rising from a home in the area.

On their Facebook page the RCHA said that as others stood watching the fire, Jieyong called 911 and then went with Ajara to the front door to check on a 78-year-old man they knew was living in the home.

"We just did what was right. We saw something happening, and we just couldn't let it go on."

Nora McLearn downplays her courage, but the Royal Canadian Humane Association thought enough of it to award her a silver medal for bravery after saving a woman from an axe attack in Swift Current last spring. 

Her grandson Chace Riley of Neville received a bronze medal for his role, while Swift Current's Danielle Armstrong was awarded with an honorary testimonial certificate.

The process for rebuilding Stewart Valley's school is going nowhere fast. 

That's the sentiment from the Chinook School Division as they await word from their insurers on plans for rebuilding the school.

"There's no update whatsoever," said Chinook Director of Education Mark Benesh. "We're still waiting on insurers to get back to us to give us an update on those costs. So we're kind of in a holding pattern along with the school community. I would say there's some level of frustration all around because we would like to be moving this forward."

Saskatchewan NDP candidate Brenda Edel is making a push down the stretch of the provincial election to challenge Saskatchewan Party MLA Jim Reiter in Rosetown-Delisle.

"I felt the province and people of Rosetown-Delisle deserve better than they're receiving," Edel said. "I hear messages on the doorstep people that are struggling being able to afford to pay bills, healthcare, affordability and crime."
