Police Seek Help Over Stolen Trailer and Break-Ins
Saskatchewan police request public assistance after a four wheel trailer theft from a Russell business on August 19. Cpl. Andy Pulp leads the inquiry as investigators trace a stolen grey Dodge Caravan seen in Russell around 3:00 a.m. August 24, with two males suspected. Meanwhile liquor possession arrests were made on Main Street Russell and a single vehicle rollover caused minor injuries to a 17 year old driver in Ellice RM. A broken window at a medical van near the Gamblers Band office was reported, and a family dispute in Silverton was resolved without charges. The case remains under investigation.

Road closure blocks access to Asessippi Park facilities
SAVED, the regional economic group, denounces the Department of Conservation for slow repairs to the main access road to Asessippi Provincial Park closed since July. The delay cuts off the boat launch from campground and pavilion, risking visitor turnout estimated around 35,000 annually as the lake gains fame as a top walleye fishery. Reeve Alvin Zimmer notes repairs may not occur until next year and urges temporary fixes to restore access and protect tourism. SAVED is a coalition of seven municipalities including Binscorth, Russell, Roblin, Shell River, Shellmouth-Boulton, and Silver Creek, rooted in agriculture with growing tourism potential.
