More than 110,000 people in Canada live with Parkinson’s. It’s a complex brain condition with unique symptoms that vary from person to person and affect daily life. Some may experience tremors, stiffness, slowness, pain, changes in speech and balance, difficulty walking, and decreased energy levels. It can also bring mental, emotional, and autonomic challenges.
While there is no cure for Parkinson’s, understanding the condition can empower you to make informed decisions about treatment and care. Medications can help manage symptoms, and therapies like physio, speech, occupational, and exercise can play a vital role in improving quality of life.
No one should face Parkinson’s alone. We have a very active support group here in Kindersley. We meet every second Wednesday of the month at 1:30 p.m. at the New Life Community Church, 401 - 4th Ave. West. We bring in professionals or watch educational videos. We share information and have great discussions over a cup of coffee and snacks.
Call Nancy at 306-463-4514 if you’re looking for a support group.

TOWN OF KINDERSLEY: Watermain replacement and
reconstruction on Main Street
The Town of Kindersley is pleased to announce that we will be undertaking a watermain replacement and road reconstruction project along Main Street, specifically between 7th Avenue and 11th Avenue, including Philips Court. A contractor has been selected for the watermain portion of the project, and construction will commence later this spring.
This important work involves replacing the existing watermain, which has reached the end of its service life, and fully reconstructing the roadway to improve both water service and road conditions. During the project, there will be temporary disruptions to water services, as well as road closures and detours in the affected areas. We are committed to
minimizing any inconvenience and will work to ensure that the project progresses smoothly.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this project, as these upgrades will enhance the overall quality of infrastructure in our community.
For ongoing updates, please visit the Town of Kindersley’s website or follow us on social media. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Town Office at 306-4632675.
Thank you for your patience as we work to improve Kindersley’s infrastructure for the future.

These horoscopes are for use the APRIL 14, 2025.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You’re doing better on the flexibility issue, but you still need to loosen up a bit to show that you can be less judgmental and more understanding about certain sensitive matters.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) With an important decision looming, you need to be careful about the information you’re getting. Halftruths are essentially useless. Get the full story before you act.

- FRIDAY 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your personal aspect continues to dominate this week. But try to make time to deal with important career-linked matters as well. A change of plans might occur by the weekend.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Excuses are not really needed for much of the confusion that occurs this week. However, explanations from all parties could help in working things out to everyone’s satisfaction.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A surprising (but pleasant) recent turn of events continues to develop positive aspects. But be prepared for a bit of a jolt on another issue that needs attention.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Creating a fuss might bring you the attention that you want. But are you prepared for all the explaining you’d have to do? It’s better to use more subtle ways to make your bid.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) With education continuing to be a strong factor this week, this could be the time to start learning some new skills that can later be applied to a bid for a potential career move.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Find out what everyone’s role is expected to be before accepting a workplace proposal. Getting all the facts now could prevent serious problems later on.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A flexible position on a workplace matter could be the best course to follow during the next several days. A personal issue also benefits from an open-minded approach.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Involving too many people in your workplace problem can backfire. Remember, allegiances can shift. Ask trusted colleagues for advice, but don’t ask them to take sides.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Before submitting your suggestions, take more time to sharpen the points you want to make. The clearer the presentation, the more chance it has to get through when submitted.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your clear sense of who you are gives you confidence when you need to tackle difficult situations.

Might Be A Scam
-- Senior adviser to the White House Faith Office
Paula White-Cain has a Passover deal for you, Raw Story reported on March 24, but only if you send her $1,000 before Easter. With that donation, she promises, you’ll receive seven “Blessings of Passover,” which include an angel assigned to you by God, long life, “an increase for inheritance” and a special year of blessing. “You’re not doing this to get something,” she clarified on a video, “but you’re doing it in honor of God, realizing what you can receive.” One featured gift is a 10-inch-tall Waterford crystal cross (retail, $100, but on sale at Waterford. com for 30% off). Nine years ago, White-Cain sold a rock for $1,144 that she billed as a “resurrection seed.”
Do Not Disturb!
-- Ukrainian American national Mykhailo Viktorovych Polyakov, 24, was arrested on March 30 after he made a visit to a remote island in the Indian Ocean, the New York Post reported. North Sentinel Island is home to a hostile, isolated tribe called the Sentinelese, and traveling there is banned. Polyakov was seen taking off in a small boat around midnight on March 29, with his only cargo a coconut and a can of Coke, which he intended to present as “offerings for the Sentinelese.” HS Dhaliwal, the director general of police on the Andaman Islands, said officials were trying to find out more about Polyakov. He did make it to the island but appeared to be ignored by the natives. He left his offerings on the beach and collected sand samples, then returned to South Andaman. Police say in January, Polyakov filmed another remote tribe, the Jarawa, while visiting the Baratang Islands. An American missionary,

Monster Under the Bed
-- When a babysitter in Great Bend, Kansas, helpfully looked under the bed to check for “monsters” on March 24, she actually found one, NBC News reported. The Barton County Sheriff’s Office was called to the home, where the babysitter had come face-to-face with a man hiding under the child’s bed, around 10:30 p.m. After a short altercation with the babysitter, the man fled the home. The suspect, who was captured the next morning, was Martin Villalobos Jr., 27, who once lived in the house. Villalobos was under a protection order and had been warned to stay away from the home. He was arrested on charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated burglary, aggravated battery, child endangerment and other offenses and held on $500,000 bond.
Turkey Trouble
-- Mail carrier Wayne White was on his route in Hyannis, Massachusetts, on March 28 when he ran into a flock of troublemakers, WHDH-TV reported. As he got in and out of his truck and delivered mail, three wild turkeys followed and harassed him while he tried to fend them off with a box. “Every time I moved the truck, the turkeys followed,” White said. One encounter with the birds was caught on a home’s surveillance video and showed White trying to do his job as they gobbled at him. “I do a lot of stuff on Nantucket, so I see deer all the time, but this is my first time with turkey,” he said.

Saskatchewan Showcased at Food, Fuel, Fertilizer Global Summit
Third Annual Summit Brings Together Business Leaders from Across Canada
Premier Scott Moe delivered the keynote address to more than 300 business leaders and policymakers at the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce’s 2025 Food, Fuel, Fertilizer Global Summit in Regina on Wednesday, April 9.
“It has never been more clear how vital Saskatchewan is to ensuring food and energy security around the world,” Moe said. “The Food, Fuel, Fertilizer Global Summit emphasizes the province’s critical role in global trade and sustainable development, which is of utmost importance during this time of uncertainty. More and more countries are understanding the value that we bring to the table, realizing that choosing Saskatchewan is not just a good choice, but the right choice.”
The summit explored the global role the province plays, particularly in the sectors of agriculture, mining and energy. Through his keynote, Premier Moe discussed food, and energy security, cutting the carbon tax, the province’s tariff response plan and the importance of diversifying export markets.
“Saskatchewan’s approach to trade and investment has helped position our province as a reliable global partner in food, fuel and fertilizer,” Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce CEO, Prabha Ramaswamy said. “With international engagement offices in 9 countries across the world, Saskatchewan is poised to diversify markets, expand market access
for businesses, and supply these vital resources to the world. Events like the Food, Fuel, Fertilizer Global Summit showcase the leadership and resilience that make Saskatchewan a steady and trusted partner in uncertain times.”
In 2024, Saskatchewan’s exports reached over 160 countries, with eight markets that totaled over $1 billion. Last year the province saw international merchandise exports reach $45.4 billion, a top three record for Saskatchewan.
Private capital investment in Saskatchewan increased last year by 17.3 per cent to $14.7 billion, ranking first among provinces for growth. Private capital investment is projected to reach $16.2 billion in 2025, an increase of 10.1 per cent over 2024. This is the second highest anticipated percentage increase among the provinces.
Statistics Canada’s latest GDP numbers indicate that Saskatchewan’s 2023 real GDP reached an all-time high of $77.9 billion, increasing by $1.8 billion, or 2.3 per cent. This ties Saskatchewan for second in the nation for real GDP growth and above the national average of 1.6 per cent.
All of this allows the Government of Saskatchewan to prioritize affordability, health care, education, and safer communities and deliver the services Saskatchewan people need and deserve.

A creative family project for Easter: a great way to bond!
The Easter long weekend is the perfect time for the whole family to come together, celebrate, and enjoy each other’s company. If you’re looking for ways to keep kids, uncles, cousins, grandparents and everyone else busy between Easter egg hunts and brunch, consider a collective creative project. It’s a fun and original way to strengthen family ties while having a great time. Here are a few suggestions to inspire you:
• Create a canvas mosaic. Give each person a small canvas (15 cm x 15 cm, for example), along with brushes and paint. The task? Paint something that evokes Easter. Once all the artwork is dry, attach the canvases to a large backing, such as a cork bulletin board, to create a stunning mosaic.
• Shoot an action movie. Use a camera or smartphone to film a funny story full of twists and turns on the theme of Easter. Every family member can contribute, whether by playing a role, finding costumes and props or helping with lighting.
• Make a miniature village. Create houses, trees and barns using recycled materials like old shoeboxes. Paint them and liven up the decor with figurines of people and animals. Everyone, young and old, can contribute their ideas to make the village more interesting. Why not add a public swimming pool or a sandbox?
Happy Easter, and happy creating!
Celebrate Easter at the restaurant? A fabulous idea!
This year, say goodbye to the stress of hosting family at home for Easter and treat yourself to a delicious, hassle free meal prepared by professionals. Dining in a festive restaurant setting allows you to enjoy the occasion with your loved ones to the fullest.
IT MAKES SENSE!
At a restaurant, each guest can choose their favourite meal or opt for the special Easter menu, featuring traditional dishes and modern variations, including vege
tarian options. You could savour an asparagus risotto or a delightful spring vegetable puff pastry. Mouthwatering, right?
After you’ve eaten your fill, look for a fun activity your family can enjoy together. Perhaps you can ride in a horse drawn carriage, stroll around a minifarm or visit a playground.
The best part? You don’t have to worry about premeal prep or postmeal cleaning.
Browse the websites of restaurants offering Easter menus to find the perfect place to treat yourself and your loved ones.
Important reminder: reservations are filling up fast for these gourmet destinations, so be sure to book your table today!
Do you have young children? If you want to see their eyes light up this Easter weekend, prepare one or more of these delightful surprises:
1. Breakfast in bed. Turn a simple breakfast into a magical moment. Cook eggs and pancakes with fruit or waffles drizzled with chocolate. Serve hot chocolate with marshmallows or freshly squeezed orange juice to delight your little ones’ taste buds. Let them enjoy their meal in bed while listening to lively music.
2. Easter egg hunt. Fill plastic eggs with candies, small toys and chocolate, then hide them around your home or yard. For added fun, have your kids wear bunny ears and give them a pretty wicker basket to collect their treasures.
3. Puppet show. Create an Easterthemed puppet show. Invent a funny story featuring clumsy or mischievous farm animals. You can make your own puppets using materials you have at home—socks, for example—or buy some at a local store. Laughter and applause guaranteed.
4. A visit from the Easter bunny. Give your little ones an unforgettable experience by asking a relative to dress up as the Easter Bunny. This special visitor can hide chocolate eggs in the yard while you “spy” on them with your children. Perhaps your Easter visitor could read a short story before giving your kids little presents, like bunny plushies.
With a little imagination and preparation, you can make Easter even more special for your children. Take this opportunity to create lasting memories and have fun!

• On April 21, 1966, a bar crawl in New York’s West Village led to what became known as the “Sip-In,” when Dick Leitsch, Craig Rodwell and John Timmons publicly identified as gay and demanded to be served regardless, defying an unofficial but widespread practice of banning gay customers from bars.

In present-day houses, tile is usually a humble building material, limited to bathroom or kitchen surfaces for its durability and ease of cleaning. To collectors, they are an art form; especially if they were made by the art potteries of the early 20th century.

• On April 24, 1863, the Union army issued General Orders No. 100, which provided a code of conduct for Federal soldiers and officers in their dealings with Confederate prisoners and civilians. The orders were developed by Prussian immigrant Francis Lieber, whose three sons served during the Civil War.
• On April 25, 1983, the German news magazine Stern announced the discovery of Adolf Hitler’s diaries. They were, however, later exposed as forgeries. Experts believe that Hitler never actually kept a diary.
• On April 26, 1986, nearly a decade after they met at a celebrity tennis tournament, television news reporter Maria Shriver and former bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger were married at St. Francis Xavier Church in Hyannis, Massachusetts. They went on to have four children, but in 2011, it was revealed that Schwarzenegger had fathered another child with the family’s housekeeper, and the couple announced their separation and eventual divorce.
• On April 27, 1913, 13-year-old Mary Phagan was discovered murdered in the basement of the Atlanta, Georgia, pencil factory where she worked. Two notes next to her body attempted (unsuccessfully) to pin the crime on the night watchman, but eventually the factory owner, Leo Frank, was lynched and hanged for it despite a complete lack of implicating evidence. He was posthumously pardoned in 1986.
Wheatley Pottery, the maker of this flowered tile that sold for $216 at Soulis Auctions, was one of them. Thomas J. Wheatley started his first pottery, T.J. Wheatley & Co., in 1880, but it closed within a few years. After some time working with Weller Pottery in Zanesville, Ohio, which was at one point the largest art pottery in the world, he tried again. Wheatley Pottery opened in 1903 in Cincinnati. In 1927, the Cambridge Tile Manufacturing Company of Covington, Kentucky, bought Wheatley Pottery. They stayed open until the 1980s.
Q:My husband collected a series of gold-plated baseball cards from Danbury Mint a while back. He is downsizing and trying to sell these cards. To date, we have found no one who is interested. We have contacted Danbury Mint to see if we can find a value for the cards he has and they have not been helpful. Could you please offer some guidance as to whom we should contact? We have tried local sporting goods companies and some auction houses.

Mint made gold-plated baseball cards from 1996 to 2003. They released a new collection each year. The cards are made of cardstock with a very thin layer of gold. Sets of 50 cards bound in an album sell for about $30 to $100 at auctions and resale sites like eBay. The website Sportlots. com values most of the individual cards at about $2 each. Items like these that are marketed as “limited edition” or “collector’s edition” usually have relatively low values on the secondary market. Many people buy and save them with the intent to resell, so the collectibles market gets flooded. There is little value to the gold in the cards because

Q:Is “Watson” going to be renewed for a new season?
Morris Chestnut has been one of my favorite actors ever since “Nurse Jackie,” so I hope this new show lasts. — R.C.
A:According to TVLine, “Watson” is averaging 6.8 million total viewers, making the decision to renew it an easy one for CBS. It’s set six months after the death of Sherlock Holmes, Watson’s friend and protege, and stars Morris Chestnut in the titular role.
Chestnut became a household name after co-starring in the critically acclaimed John Singleton film “Boyz n the Hood.” His stint on “Nurse Jackie” as Dr. Ike Prentiss was in 2013, and he followed this with recurring roles on several other series like “The Resident” and “Reasonable Doubt.” “Watson,” however, is arguably his biggest role yet. Interestingly, Amazon is developing a reboot of “Nurse Jackie” with star Edie Falco, but the premiere date has yet to be announced.
Q:When is the reality show “The Valley” coming back? I surprisingly enjoyed it last year and was happy it got renewed. — M.O.
A:April 15 is the date that the suburban reality-show soap opera premieres on Bravo, and it reaires the following day on Peacock. If you’ve seen the trailer at BravoTV.com, you’ll know that it’s filled with even more drama than its debut season, with former “Vanderpump Rules” stars Britney and Jax separating, Jax going to rehab for an admitted drug addiction, and even the seemingly stable couples coping with rumors of infidelity.
Other former members of the “Vanderpump Rules” wait and bar staff are also expected to appear on “The Valley,” including Lala Kent, Sheana Shay and hubby Brock Davies, and Tom Schwartz. Lala and Sheana have also bought homes in the San Fernando Valley, so they’re most certainly hoping to end up being permanent cast members in the future.
As for “Vanderpump Rules,” the next season is expected to debut on Bravo with its all new Gen-Z cast this fall.
Season two of the other “VR” spin-off, “Vanderpump Villa,” will launch on Hulu beginning April 24 and will take place in Italy inside a 12th-century castle, relocating from its original location in the south of France.
***
Q:I’ve been watching “Ally McBeal” on Hulu. I’ve seen most of the cast on other shows since then, but whatever happened to the guy who played Billy? — W.W.
A:Actor
Gil Bellows has actually worked quite steadily since playing Ally McBeal’s (Calista Flockhart) first love. After his character was killed off, he quickly landed another series, “The Agency,” on CBS and the Emmy-winning movie “Temple Grandin.” His most recent roles have been in the Neil Gaiman fantasy drama series “American Gods,” the Syfy horror series “Chucky,” and “Alert: Missing Persons Unit” on Fox. He also guest-starred on “The Irrational,” a current NBC drama series starring Jesse L. Martin, another “Ally McBeal” alum.

Funny Business
Doug and Ernie entered a chocolate store.
As they were busy looking around, Doug stole 3 chocolate bars.
As they left the store, Doug said to Ernie, “Man, I’m the best thief ever! I stole 3 chocolate bars and no one saw me. You can’t beat that!”
Ernie replied, “You wanna see something better? Let’s go back to the shop and I’ll show you real stealing.”
So they went to the counter and Ernie asked the shop clerk, “Do you wanna see magic?”
The shop clerk replied, “Yes!!!”
Ernie said, “Give me one chocolate bar!”
The shop clerk gave him one, and he ate it.
Ernie asked for a second, and he ate that as well. He asked for a third and finished that one, too.
The shop clerk asked, “But, where’s the magic?”

I asked the doctor if I could sew up my own wound. He said “suture self”.
A burglar breaks into a house. He begins to search the home for valuables when hears a quiet voice say, “Jesus is watching you”. He dismisses it as paranoia and carries on with his crime. He hears the voice again “Jesus is watching you”. He’s knows this time it’s not in his head, so he looks around the room and sees a parrot in the corner. He walks over to the parrot and it repeats one more time “Jesus is watching you”. The burglar says to the parrot. “Is your name Jesus?” “No, it’s Moses” the parrot replied. The burglar laughs and says “Who names a parrot Moses?” and the parrot says “The same person who named the Rottweiler Jesus.”
