☕ Coffee Row: Bail Money, Big Dreams, and School Spirit
The mugs were steaming, the frost clung to the diner windows, and the talk at Coffee Row was as lively as ever. Outside, Gull Lake was waking up slow and steady. Inside, the regulars had already settled in — coats draped over chairs, boots drying by the heater, and the scent of cinnamon buns drifting between sips of coffee. This week, the crew had plenty to chew on: a Jail & Bail fundraiser that raised nearly $10,000, a new editorial about Gull Lake’s future, and a spotlight

Coffee Row Chronicles – “Sidewalks, Break‑Ins, and the Bell That Rang for Help
Welcome back to another edition of Coffee Row Chronicles , where the regulars at The Gull Lake Main Street Café swap stories, share laughs, and weigh in on the week’s real‑life news. The bell over the door jingled as Mabel shuffled in, muttering under her breath. The smell of fresh cinnamon buns curled through the air, but she barely noticed. Her knees ached from the walk — not that she’d admit it — and the uneven slabs on Main Street hadn’t helped. She stomped the dust fro

🏆 February Showdown Verdict: Pig Spleen vs. Supercomputer
Running Score: Pig Spleen 2—Weather Supercomputer 1 A frost‑covered prairie under a restless sky. On one side, a digital thermometer climbing into record territory.

On a cool Friday evening in September 1968—a Friday the 13th, no less—a routine patrol on Highway 1 turned into one of the most dramatic moments in the history of the Gull Lake RCMP detachment. Two 18‑year‑olds from Waterloo, Ontario, Dennis Bonn and Brian McLennan, were hitchhiking west toward British Columbia. Near Whitewood, a new Mercury Cougar pulled over. The driver introduced himself only as “Knobby,” said he was heading for Calgary, and offered them a ride. He was fri

A viral video and a wave of outside commentary can travel far faster than the truth, and this week the Lyceum Theatre found itself at the centre of a story that doesn’t reflect who we are or how we treat one another. In that video, the theatre, its volunteers, and several local residents are spoken about in ways that are unfair, inaccurate, and unworthy of the place we call home.
