The March 10 ceremony welcoming their newest truck onto the fleet included a pushing-in ceremony, a wet-down ceremony, and First Nations smudging and blessing to protect the firefighters and truck.

Homesteader Aerial Photo is coming through the Battlefords and area from March 30 to April 6 and gives visitors the chance see their family farm as far back as the 1950s.

Ace of spades is still in the deck. Draws held every Thursday.

"This is no longer a democracy. We may as well be communist China," says Louise Reiter, currently standing with her neighbours against SaskPower's plans to build a 138-kilovolt powerline to service Strathcona Resources Ltd. oilfield operations.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will go back into supporting youth programming offered through both Concern for Youth and Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Battlefords.
