A talented author from the small rural community of Herbert has recently released her first book, titled ‘When Shadows Fall.’ 

The young adult fantasy novel, written by Lindy Enns, follows the journey of an anxious teenager grappling with panic attacks and various insecurities. When her sister is taken, she embarks on a treacherous quest to save her, facing both external dangers and her internal struggles along the way. 

Severe thunderstorm warnings echoed throughout the province last weekend, advising individuals to go indoors and seek shelter. One Saskatchewan resident, however, was doing the opposite. 

Storm Chaser, Brayden Morisseau, began tracking storms southeast of Swift Current last Friday night resulting in stunning photos from across the prairies. 

The Swift Current City RCMP had an interesting situation on their hands last weekend which began after receiving a call early Saturday morning regarding a theft. 

At 8:12 a.m., a caller notified RCMP that he had caught a male going through his vehicle on the 1500 block of Memorial Drive. 

Although the individual fled upon being caught, the caller was able to locate the male's wallet on the ground.

On Wednesday, The Bank of Canada raised its overnight rate by 25 basis points to 4.75 per cent, which is the first increase since hikes were paused back in January. 

In relation to the housing market in Swift Current, Kelsey Adam, real estate agent for Century 21, said the increase could potentially be an asset. 

“We have seen a little bit of a slower start to real estate sales for the beginning of the year, and I attribute some of that to interest rates going down because what was happening, was people were waiting to see how low they would go. 

As the seasons change in Swift Current, so do the pools, allowing for much-needed work to be completed on the Aquatic Centre roof. 

Melissa Shaw, the general manager of cultural and aquatic services, explained that although some work was done previously, more work is now required. 

Residents in the Town of Maple Creek are rallying together to raise funds for the construction of a much-needed community pool.  

With the town lacking a pool for the past three years, residents have come together to support the cause and ensure their community has a recreational facility to enjoy during the summer months. 

A resident at The Meadows has taken it upon herself to raise funds for a much-needed van for the residents.  

Inspired by her passion for crafting, Anita Penner has been selling diamond paintings, key chains, and plants to generate money for the cause. 

Penner explained that having a van would provide residents of The Meadows with more freedom and a better quality of life.
