The Salvation Army is looking for toys, toys and more toys.
“Usually what we find is the older age groups
(are harder to fill),” said Moose Jaw Salvation Army Capt. Laurie
Reilly. “Everybody
loves to buy little kiddie stuff because, let’s face it, they’re
fun toys. I have a four month old granddaughter and she’s
got the best little toys ever. But it’s the older people, 10, 12
and up is what we have problems filling.”

Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Lisa's Corner: Stamps’ Lewis’ offensive tweet never should’ve happened
By Lisa Goudy
Social media is one of the best and worst tools available. The thing you have to remember before sending out a tweet is that once it’s out there, it’s out there. Even if you delete it afterward, it only takes one person to retweet your comment for it to have the tweet available permanently and the consequences will ensue.
Such is the case for Calgary Stampeders’ Nik Lewis. Lewis has garnered media attention since he tweeted “I just bought OJ’s gloves on eBay. Now all I need is a white girl named Nicole. #MaybeALittleToFar” On Wednesday the CFL fined Lewis an undisclosed amount for violating the league’s social media policy. This I believe was an appropriate action for his foolish and insensitive tweet.

It’s been a week since the snow began to fall in Moose Jaw and
the repercussions are ongoing.
“It was called a little bit insane,” said Marilyn Carter,
secretary dispatcher for Walker Enterprises, which owns Walker’s Towing and
Amil’s Taxi. “You get behind a little bit for something like that, but then you
catch up.”
She said in the first few days of the storm, Walker’s Towing
dealt with more people getting stuck than having to tow vehicles.

Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Strong year-end results expected at downtown facilities
By Lisa Goudy
Things are looking good for Mosaic Place and the field house.
Mosaic Place and field house general manager Scott Clark said there is an estimated year-end surplus of $400,000 with less reliance on the city’s annual grant. Based on the September month-end, the surplus is currently around $393,000.
“We’ve had a good year. We’re not where we want to be as of yet, but we’re getting there and we’re doing well,” said Clark. “The building is busy every day … We think we may have some pretty good revenue in the fourth quarter too.”
