A little lady answered a knock on the door one day, only to be confronted by a well dressed young man carrying a vacuum cleaner.
“Good morning” said the young man. “If I can take a couple minutes of your time, I would like to demonstrate the very latest in high power vacuum cleaners!”
“Go away” said the old lady. “I’m broke and haven’t got any money!” She proceeds to close the door.
Quick as a flash the young man wedged his foot in the door and pushed it wide open. ”Don’t be too hasty!” He said. “Not until you have at least seen my demonstration.”
And with that, he emptied a bucket of horse manure on to her hallway carpet. “If this vacuum does not remove all traces of manure from your carpet, madam, I will personally eat the remainder.”
The old lady stepped back and said “well, let me get you a fork, because they cut off my electricity this morning.”
The IRS decides to audit Grandpa, and summons him to the IRS office. The auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.
The auditor said, “Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I’m not sure the IRS finds that believable.”
“I’m a great gambler, and I can prove it,” says Grandpa. “How about a demonstration?”
The auditor thinks for a moment and said, “Okay. Go ahead.”
Grandpa says, “I’ll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.”
The auditor thinks a moment and says, “It’s a bet.”
Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor’s jaw drops.
Grandpa says, “Now, I’ll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.”
Now the auditor can tell Grandpa isn’t blind, so he takes the bet. Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye.
The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa’s attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.
“Want to go double or nothing?” Grandpa asks. “I’ll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.”
The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there’s no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.
Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can’t make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he ends up urinating all over the auditor’s desk.
The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win. But Grandpa’s own attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.
“Are you okay?” the auditor asks.
“Not really,” says the attorney.
“This morning, when Grandpa told me he’d been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and that you’d be happy about it!”

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) An unexpected development could put your relationship with a partner or spouse to an emotionally demanding test. But your determination to get to the truth should save the day!

OPEN MONDAY - FRIDAY 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You might be too close to a perplexing personal situation to even attempt to make a rational decision about it right now. Stepping back could help you gain a wider perspective.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Being asked to choose between the positions of two friends is an unfair imposition on you. It’s best to reject the demand and insist that they try harder to work things out on their own.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A change of mind about a workplace decision might be called for, once you hear more arguments — pro and con. A personal event suddenly takes an unexpected (but pleasant!) turn.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Romance once again looms large for single Leos and Leonas, with Cupid favoring Taurus and Libra to inspire those warm and fuzzy Leonine feelings. Meanwhile, expect another workplace change.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) A surprise gift with no strings attached could happily come just when you need it to avoid a delay in getting your project done. Expect education to dominate the week.
LIBRA (September 23 to Octo-
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A recent agreement appears to be coming apart over the surfacing of unexpected complications. You might need to get expert advice on how to resolve the situation.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your keen business sense helps you get to the truth about a suspicious business deal. Expect to have many colleagues rally to support your efforts in this important matter.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Someone who once moved in and out of your life through the years might now want to come back in on a more permanent basis. Give yourself a lot of time to weigh your decision.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Showing frustration over a delayed workplace decision might get someone’s attention — but not necessarily make them move any sooner. The best advice would be to be patient and wait it out.
BORN THIS WEEK: You are drawn to excitement and thrilling adventures. You also enjoy fast tempo music — the more brass, the better.
Kindersley & District Co-op secures naming rights for new Great Plains College healthcare lab
KINDERSLEY, SK – Great Plains College is proud to announce a significant agreement with Kindersley & District Co-op, who have secured the $25,000 naming rights sponsorship for the new healthcare lab at the college’s Kindersley Campus. This partnership marks a substantial investment in the future of healthcare education in the region.
The agreement, which will be in effect from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2036, will hereby see the new lab space renamed to the “Kindersley & District Co-op Healthcare Lab”.
“When we first announced the Practical Nursing program in Kindersley, we were overwhelmed by the community’s interest and enthusiasm. Many organizations reached out, eager to support healthcare programming in the region,” said Brad Mahon, president & CEO at Great Plains College. “The construction of a new on-site healthcare lab was essential in launching the new Practical Nursing program, and the renovation project presented an opportunity for the community to contribute toward the construction and equipment costs for this new space. Kindersley & District Coop stepped up immediately, securing the lab naming rights sponsorship and we are tremendously grateful for their generous support of our facility and our students.”
The inaugural Practical Nursing program will see its first students begin their two-year diploma program this September and program planning is well underway, including the construction of the new Kindersley & District Co-op Healthcare Lab. The lab will provide a space for all healthcare program students to practice with equipment and simulate real-life
scenarios that will help prepare them for situations they may encounter on the job.
“At Kindersley & District Co-op, we are committed to investing in the health and well-being of our communities,” said Blair Ferner, General Manager of the Kindersley & District Co-op. “Supporting the development of healthcare education through this partnership with Great Plains College is an investment in the future of our trading area. We are proud to assist in creating opportunities for students to learn, grow, and ultimately contribute to the care and support of our families right here at home. This healthcare lab represents an investment in the future of our community, and we’re honoured to be apart of that story.”
Applications for the Practical Nursing program close May 31, 2025, but anyone interested in applying is encouraged to do so before the April 30 scholarship deadline to be considered for an Entrance Scholarship of $500-$5,000. To learn more about the Practical Nursing program or to apply, please visit greatplainscollege.ca/programs-courses/ college-trades-university/practical-nursing or contact Gloria Vielhauer, student adviser, at gloriav@greatplainscollege.ca or 306-4631353.
Lab equipment and scholarship sponsorship opportunities are also still available. To learn more, please contact Brad Mahon, president & CEO at Great Plains College at bradm@ greatplainscollege.ca or 306-778-5462.

Saskatchewan becomes the first province in Canada to be carbon tax-free
Effective April 1, Saskatchewan will be the first province in Canada to eliminate the carbon tax. The Government of Saskatchewan has decided to pause the industrial carbon tax rate under its Output-Based Performance Standards (OBPS) Program. This decision aims to provide immediate financial relief to families, farmers, businesses, and industries across the province. As part of this initiative, the carbon tax rate rider will be removed from all SaskPower bills, saving Saskatchewan families and businesses hundreds of dollars each year.
“Today, we are making Saskatchewan the first carbon tax-free province in Canada,” said Premier Scott Moe. “By leading the way in removing this harmful tax, we hope that federal leaders will support our position and allow provinces to regulate this area without imposing a federal backstop.”
Minister of Crown Investments Corporation Jeremy Harrison added, “Saskatchewan led the way in eliminating the carbon tax on home heating last year, saving families over $400 on their household SaskEnergy bills. Now we are taking the lead once again as the first province in Canada to remove the industrial carbon tax on electricity generation, providing further savings for families, businesses, and industries on their SaskPower bills.”
In light of ongoing tariff threats and rising costs of living, Saskatchewan is taking decisive steps to protect its residents and businesses from economic uncertainty and unnecessary taxation.
“Now more than ever, the world needs our clean and sustainable food, fuel, and fertilizer,” said Environment Minister Travis Keisig. “This is not the time to risk undermining our economic growth and prosperity. Pausing the industrial carbon tax will allow industries to grow and operate sustainably while maintaining our economic competitiveness during these uncertain times.”
Saskatchewan is home to some of the most sustainable products on the planet, offering the food, fuel, fertilizer, and critical minerals that the world needs. By eliminating industrial carbon costs—often passed directly to consumers—the province is working to protect affordability and economic competitiveness.
This decision will create an economic environment where industries can confidently make investments, increase production, and support the jobs and families that rely on them. While the industrial carbon tax rate is temporarily paused, the Government of Saskatchewan will continue to engage with industry stakeholders regarding the future of Saskatchewan’s OBPS system.

• On April 14, 1932, Loretta Lynn (née Webb) entered the world in Butcher Hollow, KY. A bride at 15 and grandmother by 29, she went on to become one of country music’s most beloved and successful artists, thanks in part to the encouragement and business savvy of husband Oliver “Doolittle” Lynn, and earned the Country Music Association’s first award for Female Vocalist of the Year in 1967.

WEirD NEWS
Ear We Go Again
-- One spring breaker got more than he bargained for when he got into a fight with Jack Turner, 18, of Fort Myers, Florida. The Smoking Gun reported that on March 17, a sheriff’s deputy was patrolling Fort Myers Beach when he was “flagged down” about an altercation. As Turner and Juwan Black tussled in the sand, police said, Turner “pulled Black’s head upward as he brought his face toward the left side of Black’s head.” That’s when Turner bit off Black’s ear. Black was taken to the hospital for treatment; Turner was arrested for felony battery and posted $50,000 bond. Turner applied for a public defender, saying he has no income and that his bond was posted by his family. His home is a three-bedroom house in Fort Myers purchased by his parents in 2018.
What A Drag
-- On March 18, as Ellen Schapps Richman, 76, drove her Mercedes SUV to a golf lesson at Palm Beach Country Club, she had a vague sense that she had hit something -- maybe a piece of “debris” in the road. The Palm Beach Daily News reported that actually, Richman allegedly hit a bicyclist, 63, and then continued on, dragging him and his bike a short distance down the road. When Richman arrived at the club, she handed her car keys to a valet and told him she thought the damage to her car was from something she hit, police said. The cyclist, meanwhile, had “massive” injuries to his left leg and was transported to a hospital. Richman, an area philanthropist and adjunct professor of business at Columbia Business
School, has been ordered by Circuit Judge Donald Hafele not to drive. She faces a charge of leaving the scene of a crash involving death or injuries.
A Nut To Remember
-- Paul Broome, 55, of Bognor, England, specified in his will that he wanted to be buried in a Snickers bar-themed coffin, NDTV reported on March 24. So when he passed on, his family got to work. Broome was a care assistant for adults with learning disabilities and a big fan of the chocolate bar and the Crystal Palace FC. His coffin, which was painted to look like a half-unwrapped Snickers, also said “I’m nuts” on the side and featured the football club’s logo. “Paul’s family informed us that he was one of life’s true characters, and his farewell needed to reflect that,” said Ali Leggo of FA Holland Funeralcare.
Eggs-actly the Wrong Approach
-- Maybe Deon De Groot, 26, is the Easter bunny’s little helper. The Guardian reported that De Groot was seen stuffing about $283 worth of Cadbury Creme Eggs into a duffel bag at a Tesco Express in Peterborough, England, on March 22. He also concealed some in his jacket. After store staff flagged down officers, PC Guy Cunningham asked De Groot, “What have you got in there?” to which De Groot replied, “Creme Eggs.” De Groot was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison, suspended for a year, and was banned from Cambridgeshire for the next three months.

Thursday evenings 7:00 PM at the Kindersley & District Plains Museum No charge to be a member (youth ages 12-18).

know that Donnie Wahlberg is an actor on a successful TV series, but whatever happened to his fellow boy band member Joey McIntyre? Is he still acting? — K.W.
A:Yes, Donnie Wahlberg and Joey McIntyre have both made a successful transition into acting since their days of singing and dancing with New Kids on the Block, a wildly successful boy band from the ’90s. Wahlberg made the leap to film and TV with small roles in “The Sixth Sense” and “The Practice” before landing his big break, the critically acclaimed HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers.”
He later appeared in the horror movie “Saw II” and two of its sequels before being cast in the hit CBS police drama “Blue Bloods,” which ended last year after 14 seasons. The network has a lot of faith in him and his character, Danny Reagan, because they’re building a spinoff series around his character. “Boston Blue” will launch during the 2025 fall TV season.
As for McIntyre, he starred in the short-lived CBS sitcom “The McCarthys” a decade ago and has worked steadily ever since, mostly in TV movies like “V.C. Andrews’ Dawn” and the recent Roku Christmas movie “Jingle Bell Love.”
Don’t write off New Kids on the Block, however. Four of the five original band members, including McIntyre, will be performing in their very own Las Vegas residency called “The Right Stuff” beginning this June. Visit NKOTB.com for more info. ***
Q:Is it true that Meryl Streep is dating Martin Short? I thought they were just friends, but apparently they’re in love? — S.J.
A:Yes, the two stars became an item after their on-screen love on the Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building” turned into an off-screen courtship. Short was left heartbroken after losing his wife Nancy to ovarian cancer in 2010, while Streep has been separated from her husband, Don, since 2017. Since their “OMITB” characters, Loretta and Oliver, tied the knot last season, Streep will likely be featured in the upcoming fifth season of the hit whodunit series. Streep joined the show in season 3 as a recurring charac-
ter. The new season, which is currently in production, will feature guest stars Téa Leoni (“Madame Secretary,” Keegan-Michael Key (“Wonka”) and twotime Oscar winner Christoph Waltz.
***
Q:I read that Gwyneth Paltrow is going to be in something with Timothée Chalamet. I thought she retired from acting to focus on her lifestyle website. What happened? — J.A.
A:In
2017, Gwyneth Paltrow announced that she was taking a break from acting to focus on her business, Goop, but she didn’t close the door completely. Her last major role was in the Netflix series “The Politician,” which starred Ben Platt (“Dear Evan Hansen”) and was co-produced by her husband, Brad Falchuk. That was back in 2020. She’s been selective about her next projects, which she has the luxury of doing. She’s back on the set in 2025 with not one but two films, both comedies. First up is “The Miracle on 74th Street” with Drew Barrymore and Christine Taylor, and then “Marty Supreme,” which she’s currently filming with Timothée Chalamet and Sandra Bernhard.
