Grain Rush, driven by Great Plains Ford, is back for another year!  

That’s right, between now and September 12th, we will be delivering some delicious KFC meals to some hard-working farmers.  

Today, we took our meal out to Kyle Hoium and his crew near Midale, thanks to Mectec Transport.  

We’re kicking off another season of Meal in the Field with our very first winners of the year!

This hardworking crew, farming just north of Macklin in the RM of Eye Hill, was nominated by Sean Ellwood.

It was our first delivery of the season and we’re just getting started! Keep an eye out, because the next time we’re on the road, we could be pulling into a field near you with a hot meal in hand.

Here’s to a safe and successful harvest season!

The McCafé Coffee Break grabbed its travel mugs and paid a visit to New Radiance Medi Spa this week! 

91.5FM CochraneNow showed up to spoil the hardworking team with fresh McCafé coffee and baked goods courtesy of McDonald’s Cochrane.

It was all thanks to this nomination:

“Carol the owner & all her lovely estheticians work very hard & provide treatments making the residents of Cochrane feel & look amazing!”

Moose Jaw's White Heather Pipe Band is looking for new recruits! 

Long-time, veteran bagpiper Michelle Carline started attracting youngsters to the new band a few years ago and her group is growing and having a lot of fun while they continue to improve.

You know, I've just returned to the radio station after a two-week summer vacation. It's not easy coming back but I can imagine how tough it would be if I didn't enjoy what I do for a living.

And, upon my return, I received a report from ADP Canada, an organization that provides payroll, human resources and workforce management.

Their most recent "Happiness at Work Index" finds Saskatchewan and Manitoba are tied for "happiest regions in the country to work in". Both provinces posted a national-high score of 7.1 out of 10.

We asked our readers how they plan to spend the last weeks of summer.

We posted a poll on our homepage asking people to let us know how their end-of-summer plans.

A total of 43 voters responded, with 22 votes (51.16 per cent) saying they'll be soaking up the sun and relaxing.

In second place with 10 votes (23.26 per cent) were residents hoping to crack a cold one and call it patio season. Behind that, with seven votes (16.28 per cent) were residents taking a last-minute visit to the lake.

Cochrane's Best Neighbourhood Showdown 2025, powered by Cochrane Toyota has reached the first round of the semi-finals. Thousands of votes have been cast so far, and the competition is heating up.

The first semi-final match-up is:

WEST VALLEY/WEST TERRACE/WEST POINTE

A Kindersley family is asking for prayers and financial support as their six-year-old son begins months of treatment following a brain tumour diagnosis earlier this summer.

On Aug. 11, doctors at Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon discovered a three-centimetre tumour in Ghio Villanea. He underwent surgery two days later, but physicians found fragments that had already started to grow.

Ghio is now preparing for chemotherapy and radiation therapy on September 10th, a process expected to take several months.
