In the news this week
Staff In this issue, news reporter John Cairns has put together a run down on the Battlefords-Lloydminster 2015 federal election campaign. Early on, it may have looked like one of the least interesting campaigns across the country. The firmly entrenched incumbent seemed to be the only candidate of note. His appearances in other constituencies were expected to be of more use to the party than
appearances in his home constituency. As Cairns writes, however, the election campaign in the constituency did indeed prove newsworthy, at times for all the wrong reasons. Two of the four parties in the riding saw their original nominees withdraw from the race, meaning a late start for their replacements. Then along came an independent candidate. See the analysis on Pages 6 and 11.

Community in Shock Wilkie Volunteer Fire Department was called to the Wilkie Saskcan Community Centre Oct. 9 to extinguish a blaze that has the community reeling. The extent of the damage to the building has not yet been determined, but emergency meetings have been called to determine ways to accommodate hockey, curling and other activities. Several community events, including polling for Monday’s federal election, have been moved to other venues. Please see the story on Page 14 for more. Photo by Helena Long
