Spring has sprung in Moose Jaw with a runoff that is sure to please ever puddle-jumper in town but not so much for the residents who now have overflow in their basements.  Although the moisture is surely needed, it is not always appreciated.  Here’s hoping for a quick and effective cleanup of the situation.

Congratulations to the Warriors; wow…look at them now with one spot off the playoffs, depending on what happens in the very near future!  For this hockey-crazed town, there’s no better conversation to be had.

It is really exciting to feel the energy around town as life is resuming back to a fairly normal state.  For those that haven’t had the opportunity to enjoy a live performance over the last couple years, now’s the time to buy your tickets to see the Community Players back on the scene at the MJMAG in April ready to perform ‘The Ladies Foursome’.

Dance Images with BJ performed to a full house during their Dance for Hunger fundraiser held on the weekend.  What a great way for the dancers to practice their performances leading up to the dance season.

Congratulations to the Peacock wrestlers on a fine showing in the provincial school competitions capping off four medals.

Congratulations to the Central Cyclones teams on winning the Moose Jaw High School girls’ and boys’ basketball league city titles; the first in over a decade for the girls.

There are so many good things to commend within our community that it’s sometimes hard to bring to light some that are not…but once in awhile it is necessary to speak the truth in love to some antagonists.  On a more blunt note, opinions do matter!  No matter whether you agree or not with someone’s opinion, it is what it is.  No matter how much name-calling and offensive accusations are lashed back at our publications or to individuals personally, people have the right to believe and say what they do.
