Russell pool opens during fair week in July
About 150 people attended the Russell pool opening on Saturday July 15 as part of the Russell Fair weekend. Eldon Montgomery praised the facility noting strong use, 1400 visitors before opening, and over 2000 swimmers in three weeks. The pool employs nine lifeguards and instructors with three two week lesson sets booked and a fourth filling quickly. Funds are coming in with strong volunteer effort and the project is not costing taxpayers. A full accounting is expected by the end of August.

CBC Newsworld Not Ready For Parkland Cable Viewers
CBC Newsworld will not be added to Parkland subscribers for now. Westman Cable marketing director says no Russell area channels support the new network yet. Feasibility studies show a midband signal upgrade in Dauphin would be needed, plus converter devices and satellite dishes across 27 communities. A tiered packaging option could later allow CBC Newsworld and three other channels within a basic tier currently full.
