Preparations are in full swing for Kindersley’s 53rd annual Goose Festival, set for September 18–21, with organizers promising four days packed with entertainment, food, and community fun.
The entertainment stage will be set up early in the week, and food trucks are rolling in from across the region, including vendors from Rosetown, Biggar, and Regina. According to Kevin Martin, Executive Director of the Kindersley Chamber of Commerce, vendor spaces sold out quickly this year—a sign of the festival’s growing popularity.
“It’s not just people from Kindersley who come out,” Martin said. “We’ve had visitors from as far away as Hawaii tell us they plan their trips around Goose Festival. The parade especially draws people back year after year.”
Early events include the Kindersley Fire Department’s Open House on Thursday from 5:00–7:00 p.m., featuring hotdogs by silver collection, and Cruise Night, with classic and custom vehicles lined up along 2nd Avenue between the Co-op locations and Lifetime Dental. A Co-op BBQ will also be held, with proceeds supporting a local cause.
The weekend officially kicks off Saturday morning with a pancake breakfast at the Legion, hosted by Redemption Baptist Church. At 11:00 a.m., the much-anticipated parade takes over Main Street, which will remain closed to traffic throughout the day.
After the parade, families can enjoy a full slate of attractions, including the Better Together group’s popular barrel train ride, the veggie car contest beside Prairie Rose Florist, and heart-stopping bike stunt demonstrations. TD’s fan-favourite Plinko game returns, raising funds for local char-
ities, while a downtown photo booth will help capture festival memories.
The Saskatchewan Roadmen Car Club will present its Show & Shine from noon to 4:00 p.m. on Main Street, while the Red Lion will host a Motorcycle Show & Shine paired with a burger, beans, and pop fundraiser for Special Olympics Kindersley. The Kin Club’s Duck Derby fundraiser is also set for Saturday afternoon, taking place between the Co-op Pharmacy and the Co-op Gazebo.
The Goose Festival also coincides with a busy sports weekend. On Friday night, the Kindersley Kobras will play their traditional “Under the Lights” high school football game against Delisle, with kickoff at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday evening, the Iron Horse Junior Klippers hit the ice for their home opener against the Battleford North Stars. Fans will get their first look at the team under a new coach, with a mix of returning veterans and local talent. The puck drops at 6:30 p.m. at the InterPipeline Arena in the West Central Events Centre.
While the focus is firmly on Goose Festival, the Chamber of Commerce is already gearing up for the holiday season. A Christmas craft show and farmers’ market is planned, with more than 35 vendors expected.
For Martin, the festival represents more than food, rides, and games—it’s about community. “It’s just a fun, social atmosphere,” he said. “We might be considered the big brother or big sister because of our population, but it’s important for all of our neighbouring communities to support one another. That’s what makes events like this so special.”

Q:I recently saw an old blackand-white episode of “Tales of Wells Fargo” from 1957. In it, Michael Landon had his six-shooter in his right hand and also had his holster on the right. A year later, he’s a star on “Bonzana” and a complete lefty. What happened? Was he ambidextrous? — D.M.
A:Michael Landon, best known for shows like “Bonanza” and “Little House on the Prairie,” was, indeed, left-handed. For whatever reason, they asked him to shoot right-handed when he appeared on “Tales of Wells Fargo.” But fortunately, during his entire 14-year run on “Bonanza,” they let him do what came naturally — shooting off his left hip.
Apparently it was common practice in production and staging to film an actor firing with his right hand. The reason is thought to be because traditional blocking of a scene places the camera to the right of the actor as they face it. If they then hold the pistol with their right hand, they can point their weapon across their body and still keep their face fully in view of the camera.
Some famous lefties include Bruce Willis, who shot with his dominant hand in the “Die Hard” movies, and Paul Newman, who was perfect to play Billy the Kid in “The Left Handed Gun.” Keanu Reeves, a lefty who actually trains with both hands for his action movies, is able to shoot with either hand on command.
Q:
I saw an ad pop up on my smart TV for what looked like a show or movie called “Tony & Ziva,” but I don’t get the channel it’s on. Is it based on the characters of the same name from “NCIS”?
— K.J.
A:“NCIS: Tony & Ziva” is the full title of a new show on Paramount+ featuring actors Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo, who are reprising their characters from the original CBS procedural “NCIS.” Tony and Ziva, former agents who fell in love, are now a couple on the run in Europe after Tony’s security company is attacked.
They’re also parents, so they’re trying to protect their daughter from danger.
“Tony & Ziva” is airing exclusively on Paramount+. It premiered three episodes on Sept. 4 and will roll out a new episode every Thursday until its 10-episode conclusion on Oct. 23.
***
Q:
Is that Boz from “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” hosting a new show with Jimmy Fallon? — D.E.
A:Yes, that is Bozoma Saint John, nicknamed “Boz,” who landed a co-hosting gig with Jimmy Fallon (“The Tonight Show”) on NBC’s upcoming competition reality show “On Brand with Jimmy Fallon.”
Before Saint John landed on Bravo’s “RHOBH” last season, she had built up quite an impressive career heading up the marketing departments at Netflix, Uber and PepsiCo. According to TVInsider, each week on “On Brand,” contestants will create and present a marketing campaign to real-life executives of companies like Southwest Airlines and Dunkin’.

Two sportsmen sitting in a kayak were chilly, but when they lit a fire in the craft, it had sank.....proving once and for all that you can’t have your kayak and heat it, too.
Two boll weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much. The second one, naturally, became known as the lesser of two weevils.
A three-legged dog walks into a saloon in the Old West. He sidles up to the bar and announces: “I’m looking for the man who shot my paw.”
This guy goes into a restaurant for a Christmas breakfast while in his home town for the holidays. After looking over the menu he says, “I’ll just have the eggs Benedict.” His order comes a while later and it’s served on a big, shiny hubcap. He asks the waiter, “What’s with the hubcap?” The waiter sings, “O, there’s no plate like chrome for the Hollandaise!”
A neutron goes into a bar and asks the bartender, “How much for a beer?” The bartender replies, “For you, no charge.”
Two atoms are walking down the street and they run into each other. One says to the other, “Are you all right?
“No, I lost an electron!”
“Are you sure?”
Yeah, I’m positive!”
Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused his dentist’s Novocain during root canal work?
He wanted to transcend dental medication.
A guy goes to a psychiatrist. “Doc, I keep having these alternating recurring dreams. First I’m a tepee; then I’m a wigwam; then I’m a tepee; then I’m a wigwam. It’s driving me crazy. What’s wrong with me?”
The doctor replies: “It’s very simple. You’re two tents.”
A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. “But why?,” they asked, as they moved off. “Because,” he said, “I can’t stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.”
A doctor made it his regular habit to stop off at a bar for a hazelnut daiquiri on his way home. The bartender knew of his habit, and would always have the drink waiting at precisely 5:03 p.m.. One afternoon, as the end of the work day approached, the bartender was dismayed to find that he was out of hazelnut extract. Thinking quickly, he threw together a daiquiri made with hickory nuts and set it on the bar. The doctor came in at his regular time, took one sip of the drink and exclaimed, “This isn’t a hazelnut daiquiri!” “No, I’m sorry,” replied the bartender, “it’s a hickory daiquiri, doc.”

~ In Manchester, England, a band called Bionic and the Wires is on the cutting edge of fun-guy (fungi) music, Metro News reported on Sept. 2. Jon Ross and Andy Kidd are producing music by attaching sensors to mushrooms and plants to turn their electrical signals into musical notes. The sensors are attached to bionic arms, which strike the instruments. The different organisms create different beats. “It’s a really good way to connect with (plants and mushrooms) and a really sort of emotional experience,” Ross said.
Intoxicated Tot
~ A baby raccoon that was dubbed Otis Campbell (after the town drunk on “The Andy Griffith Show”) was rescued from certain death by a nurse in Whitesburg, Kentucky, in early September, Lex18-TV reported. Misty Combs works at the Letcher County Health Department, right next door to Kentucky Mist Moonshine. She and her co-workers noticed a raccoon running through the parking lot, then heard commotion in a nearby dumpster. The moonshine company “had put some fermented peaches in their dumpster,” Combs said, “and I guess the baby raccoons had gotten in.” The mother raccoon was frantic, so the RN got busy. One of the babies was
rescued with a shovel and ran to its mom, but the other one was face-down in water at the bottom of the container. Combs pulled it out by its tail and started chest compressions, and the animal started breathing again. Fish and wildlife officials transported the drunk baby to a local vet for sobering up, and it was released back to its mother the following day.
It’s a Gamble
~ As the Rhapsody of the Seas cruise ship pulled into port in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Sept. 7, one passenger disembarked in a most unusual way, USA Today reported. Jey Gonzalez-Diaz jumped ship with his backpack, a criminal complaint alleges, which contained $14,600, two phones and five IDs. Two passing jet skis picked him up, and Customs and Border Protection later detained him near the Puerto Rico Capitol. Gonzalez-Diaz told CBP that he went overboard because “he thought he was going to be taxed duties for bringing in the currency,” but it turned out he also had a $16,710 debt with the cruise line, “almost exclusively associated to casino and gaming expenses,” CBP said. Gonzalez-Diaz could face a fine of $250,000, a five-year prison sentence or both.
Unseen Guest
~ In a new twist on Ding Dong Ditch, German authorities have identified the culprit of latenight doorbell rings in Schwabach, Bavaria, United Press International reported on Sept. 9. Police were called to an apartment building where several residents complained of the unexpected doorbells, but they couldn’t see anyone on their front-door cameras. They suspected that kids were pranking them, but authorities discovered that a slug was crawling across a panel and triggering several doorbells in the process. Officers relocated the slug and declined to press charges.
• On Sept. 29, 1780, British spy John André, an accomplice of Benedict Arnold, was court-martialed, found guilty and sentenced to death by hanging. He wrote to Gen. George Washington asking to be executed by firing squad instead, which was considered a more “gentlemanly” death, but though Washington attempted to have him exchanged for Arnold, the original sentence was carried out on Oct. 2.
• On Sept. 30, 1918, President Woodrow Wilson gave a speech before Congress in which he supported a guarantee that women would be granted the right to vote. The House of Representatives had approved a 19th constitutional amendment giving women suffrage, but Congress would not pass the amendment for another year.

• On Oct. 3, 2011, an Italian appeals court overturned the murder conviction of American exchange student Amanda Knox, who’d been found guilty of stabbing her British roommate, Meredith Kercher, to death in 2007. Imprisoned since her arrest, Knox flew back to the States the following day.
• On Oct. 4, 1970, singer Janis Joplin was found dead of an accidental heroin overdose in her Los Angeles hotel room after failing to attend a recording session. She was putting the finishing touches on the album titled “Pearl,” that would prove to be the biggest hit of her career.
• On Oct. 5, 1892, the infamous Dalton Gang attempted a daylight robbery of two Coffeyville, Kansas, banks simultaneously. After someone recognized a member and spread word of the crime, the townspeople ran for their guns and surrounded the two banks, then took justice into their own hands, killing all but Emmett Dalton, who, incredibly, survived prison and eventually ended up as a Hollywood screenwriter.
