About five years ago, William Yuzicapi was just floating the idea. During a meeting of File Hills chiefs and councils in Lebret, Yuzicapi casually mentioned that a community radio station for the File Hills-Balcarres area might be a good idea. It would be a way to broadcast powwow music and other compositions by Aboriginal recording artists. Maybe Elders could have their stories and legends recorded, saved in the station's library, and broadcast on the air at times.

Stages Model and Talent Agency holds the Saskatchewan-wide Fresh Faces Model Search every year. It's a chance for good-looking guys and gals across the province to gain international recognition in the world of professional modeling.
This year, for the first time since the event began in 1989, the winner is Aboriginal. Fourteen-year-old Desarae Eashappie from the Carry the Kettle First Nation just west of Regina won this year's title.
Desarae said she entered the contest on the advice of a talent scout from Stages Modeling.
