Hey, everybody! Reader here, and one of my favourite things to do is watch my nieces and nephew take part in all the activities they enjoy. I’ve talked about my nephew Hadley’s sports endeavours, in hockey, football and broomball, as well as his big sister Sofie’s ringette adventures, which have taken her to European nations […]

Reader here, and I want to know – if you’re feeling lazy, and don’t want to cook, or it’s been one of those days, and you just need a little pick-me-up to get you through the day, what do you like to snack on? Well, since I was a kid, there’s one thing above all […]

Reader here! Are you a bookworm like me? Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved the library. Growing up, I spent hours in the library at Conquest School and Outlook High School, soaking up the atmosphere of being surrounded by knowledge. Whether it was reading the daily Saskatoon Star-Phoenix, poring over the latest edition […]

Reader here, and it’s that time of year again, when I dig out the mitt and the cleats, and get back out on the diamond for another slow-pitch season. Our team, the “Sons of Pitches,” actually played our first doubleheader of the season on Friday night at Jubilee Park, and won ’em both, by scores […]

Hey, everybody! Reader here, and I want to tell you about one of the smartest purchases I’ve ever made. It’s nothing big. Not a vehicle, or a piece of property. Something much smaller. A screen protector. For a long time, I was never a big believer in screen protectors, as thought they weren’t something that […]

Hey, everybody! Reader here, and the “Learn to Run” clinics are well underway, as we continue to gear up for the Health Foundation Charity Road Race. For the most part, I’ve been doing pretty well. But, last Thursday, I ran into a bit of a bump in the road… During last Thursday’s run clinic, we […]

Reader here, and it was a great evening at the Gallagher Centre on Saturday, as the 77th Yorkton Film Festival wrapped up with the Golden Sheaf Awards gala, as the festival’s best in Canadian short film and documentary films were honoured. I was there covering the night for the newsroom, and a big crowd was […]

Hey, everybody!  Reader here, and now that barbecue season is in full swing (though really, does it every truly end?), let’s talk about one of my favourite things to grill… The humble hot dog.  The terrific tubesteak.  The wonderful weiner. Whatever you call them, it’s tough to beat a few hot dogs, whether they’re done […]

Hey, everybody! Reader here, and well, did you notice something different about us this morning? That’s right – we’re careening headlong into the summer of 2024 with a new look, a new name, and the music you love. If we had to describe it in three words, it’s “Variety that ROCKS!!!” Now, I know… change […]

Hey, everybody- Reader here, and it’s that time of year again, when I start to transform myself into a high-performance, long distance runner! Well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but I am getting back on track, in order to prepare for this summer’s Health Foundation Charity Road Race. That road starts with […]
