Melissa Guillaume and her family farm in Marquis and recently won the Farmer Appreciation – Spring Seeding Edition prize by 800 CHAB, Country 100, and Silver Star Salvage & Recycling — she said they’re almost done seeding already, and they’re not giving up on canola. 

They have a saying at High Test Enterprises: “Wanna get paid to stare out the window all day?”

Given that High Test is a Class 1 training centre, the phrase is a playful one. It speaks to careers in trucking that many drivers aspire to. But it’s especially meaningful to Reade Lalonde, who coined it.

“I have ADHD, so when I was in school I used to stare outside,” he says. “I hated being in school, and they used to say that I’d never get anywhere staring out the window.”

Just a short hop east of Moose Jaw, by the ESSO on the Trans-Canada Highway, R&S Family Restaurant has been a local favourite since Richard and Sherri Goddard opened its doors in 1994 in Moosebank before moving to Moose Jaw. R&S is built on delicious home-style meals, remarkably affordable prices, and a genuine dedication to their  motto: "Pleasing You, Pleases Us!"

Prairie Bee Meadery is Saskatchewan’s premier craft meadery, known for their award-winning honey wines, also known as mead – a traditional beverage made from fermenting honey that goes back centuries.

Prairie Bee Meadery began back in 2012 with their parent company, Grandpa’s Garden, a u-pick farm, growing fruits like sour cherries, strawberries, raspberries, haskap berries, and melons, as well as a selection of market garden vegetables.

Rob Carnie – And one more thing, just in time for the busy summer tourism season in Moose Jaw... Community Cleanup Day is coming up, May 10th, and everybody is invited to take part. What's happening? 

Maryse Carmichael – Community Cleanup, we did a little bit of that already before the World Curling Championship. We wanted the city to look really, really good, but our official Community Cleanup will be on May the 10th.  

Rob Carnie – It's landfill season, and a reminder: rates have gone up and a reminder for all residents that we have to tarp our loads, right? 

Maryse Carmichael – We have beautiful weather; we have a little bit of time, and yard waste is something that we're all eager to clean our backyards and front yards. So we need to remember to tarp our loads as you are on your way to the landfill.  

Rob Carnie - The dust has now settled on the BKT World Men's Curling Championship. I heard nothing but good things as a matter of fact, I took a call at the radio station not long ago from a man in Regina who just called to request a song and thanked Moose Jaw and Moose Jaw people for putting on a wonderful show.  

He just had a blast around town doing some shopping, having some meals, and really enjoyed the curling as well.  

Rob Carnie - SUMA, the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association. You just came back from the convention. Can you update us anything that you took away? 

Maryse Carmichael – Yes, so it is an annual three-day convention. We alternate between Regina and Saskatoon. 

Rob Carnie - It's the latest edition of Take 5 with Carnie and Carmichael, featuring Moose Jaw City Manager Maurice Carmichael. So much to talk about today, including the fact that the City of Moose Jaw has released its Infrastructure Renewal Program locations for cast iron watermain and the capital projects Paved Roadways Projects.
