A 61-year-old man is facing a list of charges, including assaulting a peace officer, following an incident in Richmound last Friday. 

This Friday, the Saskatchewan RCMP announced that Ricky Manz of Richmound has been charged with one count of assault, two counts of assaulting a police officer, one count of resisting arrest, one count of mischief, one count of uttering threats, and one count of obstructing or interfering with an employee or agency of a municipality.  

Saskatchewan’s Deputy Premier says the province is holding strong in an uncertain global economy — with low unemployment, growing tax revenues, and one of the best fiscal positions in the country — but warned that external shocks like international tariffs and falling oil prices still pose risks.

After multiple days of persistent poor air quality, we are in for a temporary reprieve. According to Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) conditions are significantly improved heading into the weekend. 

“The air is a lot cleaner, the air quality is a lot better,” said ECCC meteorologist, Crawford Luke, noting that the change is well-timed as today and tomorrow are expected to be warm and dry, ideal for outdoor activities. 

The 2025 Infrastructure Renewal Program has reached week 12 and work continues replacing approximately 1.4 kilometres of cast iron pipe and 700 metres of feeder main at various locations across the city.

Many Saskatchewan producers are regarding the recent and widespread rainfall as a positive sign for things to come, despite the variable impact it has had on actual crop and pasture conditions.

It was noted that, in some areas, the rain came just in time to carry crops forward through flowering and grain fill, while in others the rain came too late to make much of a difference to crops or pastures.

The Medicine Hat Mavericks scored a total of 33 runs as they swept a two-game series over the Moose Jaw Miller Express this week.

It's time for Facebook Friday. I find the best from the best.

Here's an aging friend who says, "Every night around 10:30 I realize it's only 6:30."

I like this one, "Don't leave your candy alone near me. I will eat your Snickers and then help you look for it."

This funny gal I follow says, "Am I perfect? No. But do I try my best and keep a positive attitude? Also no."

If you're single you might like this, "The best part of a relationship is the very beginning when you haven't met yet and you're single."
