If you’ve been following semis with oversized loads on area highways, chances are that it's due to the major industrial projects happening in the area.

The vast majority of those jobs were part-time, the agency said, with 47,000 positions added in the private sector.

A Reuters poll of economists heading into Friday’s release had expected the jobless rate would rise to 7.1 per cent in June as employment levels held flat.

It was another great burger time Fiesta at the Humboldt district museum on Thursday, July 10th. 

A pleasant day was made even more delightful with the musical accompaniment of Walter Bushman, Brian Grest, and special drop in guest on drums and vocals Nathan Gregg. The trio served up some great summertime music including hits from the eagles, Neil Young, the birds, and Walter's perennial favorite “Old Hippie” by The Bellamy Brothers.  

The East Central 18UAAA Red Sox were more than a handful for the Saskatoon Giants last night at James Korte Field in Muenster. 

The 3-1 win was in part thanks to a 10 strike out, rock solid performance by Taylor Coleman on the mound. Coleman gave up only five hits and one run over his six inning stand.  

A combination of warm and wet growing conditions has allowed crops to develop nicely around the Humboldt area according to the latest Crop Report from the Ministry of Agriculture, but producers have noted some uneven crop staging which is making fungicide timing difficult. Many producers are applying fungicides to crops given the recent environmental conditions.
