I have to miss the February meeting but board chair Luke Perkins met me recently and acknowledged that they will miss me. It was more than that as over time I have become a bit of a walking encyclopedia of history at the board table. Coming from a long line of teachers I thought it would be an interesting topic. When I missed it I knew I was in trouble with Kendra Tegstrom for that or something at all times.Īll of the elementary schools were good to me but Maude Burke was special.Įarly in my time at the Journal I moved on to covering the North East School Division board meetings and therefore education. As well they made the “Water Fun Activity” (water fight) something to look forward to each year. I can’t leave without mentioning Maude Burke School, they adopted me and I have always loved my visits at the school. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. And Mavis Peters and the whole front staff were always helpful and appreciated that I followed the check in rules. When I was in a bind I could always do things by email if necessary which was a lifesaver. Principal Jerry Heffernan and all of the teachers who coached or helped me out in any way will always be special. That expanded into covering other events and the recent addition of Team Drama. I saw countless championships by Comets’ teams including the recent senior girls’ basketball dynasty and the always strong Comets’ football program. Covering them also led to me being the SJHL Insider on the Bagskate Hockey Podcast which showed me that I can do more than write about hockey but also talk SJHL with no notes for up to an hour.įrom the start I was always covering stuff at MUCC. I lead with the Mustangs because I am constantly stopped for my opinion on the team. The Mustangs also deserve recognition for recognizing me at my last game as a reporter on Wednesday, February 11 by having a thank you announcement.
By my calculations I attended about 400 Melfort Mustangs’ games, along with 11 awards banquets. From Darrell Mann to Trevor Blevins to all of the presidents and people involved they made it feel like less of a job. The people involved with the Melfort Mustangs were always good to me from the start. Like I wrote at the time not every reporter gets to cover a league champion let alone two. There are some that stick out in my mind like the Melfort Mustangs winning their first championship in 20 years and then repeating.
