Melfort RCMP are investigating an incident with a suspect making a fraudulent payment to a business in Kinistino.  

On January 8, an unknown male purchased a large order of tools from a business as he presented himself as an employee of a construction company. Credit cards used by the suspect were previously stolen as the payments were later rejected. It was later determined that the construction company is not a real business operating in the province. 

Spring is a time of renewal and a time to revel in the seasonal traditions that come with shedding off a long, cold winter. One of those traditions is celebrating some spring music with St. Peter’s Chorus and its annual spring concert coming up this Sunday, April 6 at St. Augustine Church starting at 2:30 pm.  

As with the Easter season concert again this year, the theme will follow a spring motif with some ecumenical numbers, says chorus director Maxine Moore.  

A new tandem exhibition has opened at the Humboldt and District Gallery for the month of April, and patrons have a chance to meet and talk with the artists this Thursday, April 4, 7 pm at the Gallery.

To help raise awareness about asbestos, this week has been recognized as Global Asbestos Awareness Week (April 1-7) . 

Asbestos was commonly used until the late 1990s and is a naturally occurring fibrous material. Products that contain asbestos are dispersed into the air, the tiny fibres are released into the air, which could be trapped in your lungs and remain in your system for many years. Over time, the fibres could expand leading to serious health problems.  

With the weather warming and spring coming to the prairies, producers have been going through calving season with plenty of work for them. 

Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan Vice-President Chris Procyk says that, from what he's heard, it's been a decent season in the province.

Medical emergencies can develop in an instant for anyone.  

Even if someone collapses or has a serious accident a block away from the hospital, the fear, uncertainty, and pressure of the moment can be earth-shattering.  

What happens, then, when the same thing happens kilometres away from a hospital, in the remote and sometimes harsh expanse of nature or farmland?
