pinion Editor: Scott Anderson Group Publisher: Michael J. Hertz Concerned over future of Vanguard Library

Editor: s the librarian for the Vanguard Library from August 2002 to January 2017, I know how hard our staff has Aworked to: make the library a welcoming, safe space where people can access computers and printing; take part in arts and crafts; learn EAL; get help with computers; make a puzzle; curl up and read in our reading nooks; grab a free book from our donations stack; enter a reading challenge; or take part in literacy enhancing summer programs. We have always done “less with more” at Vanguard Library in order to keep the levies to our local municipalities low. But now Premier Wall, Minister Morgan, and the Government of Saskatchewan are asking us to do “less with less”. I don’t know how much “less” the Vanguard Library can take.

●BRONCOS Broncos break through in the playoffs Game seven win clinches first playoff series win since 2008 STEVEN MAH SOUTHWEST BOOSTER

The Swift Current Broncos defeated the host Moose Jaw Warriors 3-1 in game seven to win their first playoff series in nine seasons. Captain Glenn Gawdin scored the game winner in the third period and Jor- dan Papirny made 39 saves to backstop the Broncos to the game seven win in front of a sold out crowd. “It’s unbelievable,” said Gawdin after the game. “We have been waiting a long time in this organization and city. It’s a weight off our back, but we feel we are just getting started.” “Everybody is really happy,” added defenseman Sahvan Khaira. “For a lot of us this is our first crack at the playoffs and especially I think it was almost everybody’s first seventh game. It is a really good feeling right now.” “It’s unbelievable and it is also a huge honor. But like I said I think we are just getting started.
