A group of teachers in Lloydminster made signs for their cars, drove around their area, tooting their horns and waving signs, telling everyone they miss the kids and school, too.

Frank Mills was born in Turtleford, grew up at Fairholme, and passed away April 11, at the age of 92. He lived his adult life in Prince Albert.

Congratulations to Norma Pomedli of Spiritwood, who won the $1,000 early bird draw in the Battlefords Union Hospital Foundation monthly cash lottery April 9. 

Who would have ever thought the time would come when nobody wants our cash. It's even plastic and washable.

Jigsaw puzzles are another commodity that is sold off the shelves. There are some around for swapping, but there are no new ones left.

Drive-in theatres are being restored for this summer because those who enjoy their movies can't go to the theatre any more.

The Green Park Greenhouse, between Glaslyn and Edam, is opening May 1, so get planning your garden and flowerbeds for the summer. 

Guess who is open for business to do your hair, nails and eyebrows ‑ the funeral home. If you want an appointment, keep running around. 

Sorry there are no activities to report, but people are staying put, other than getting out walking. Now the weather has improved there is no excuse not to be out there. The streets are dry except where there are pumps working to move runoff water to the lake. Since the village is mainly flat, the water needs some help to move along.
