Letter: Water a right, not to be treated as a privilege

Dear Editor:

By Gene Hrabec

The councillors that sit on the (water) commission should be held personally accountable for their unexplainable actions in the sale of a portion of the water line and for the justification of such a rate increase to the villages, hamlets, and county residents for their distribution, and any other rural residents who have signed up with the water line.

Satellites lose in OT: Down 2-0 in best-of-7, Tofield at home Thursday

Former Memorial Cup winner, Kevin Reinholt of Tofield, blasts a slapshot toward Sedgewick goalie Jordy Cox but it was blocked by defenceman Chris Dawn. Reinholt is in his first season with the Satellites but his size, demeanor and good decision-making on the back-end has been a big addition to the Tofield senior team this season. Satellites, down 2-0 in its playoff series against Sedgewick, hosts game 4 Thursday evening
