Davidson, Obituary

Schmiedge, Don

It is with heavy hearts the family of Don Schmiedge announces his passing. Born October 20, 1943 Don passed June 11, 2018. Predeceased by parents Ted and Annie and brother Ken, Don leaves to mourn wife Nola, sons Trent (Andree), Chad (Kris) and grandchildren Ben and Kate, niece Rachelle (Tina and Kelly) brother Gary (Lana) and many more nieces, nephews, family and friends.

Don farmed, raised purebred Herford cattle, raised and raced standardbred horses, hunted and fished summer and winter. He served 18 years on Davidson Town Council and several years as a director and President of the Saskatchewan Standardbred Horse Racing Association.

The centre and love of his life was his family. Don followed wherever the family took him be it the hockey rink, soccer field, night clubs to hear the Blue Mules, dance recitals to see his Katie dance or building in the backyard – forts, birdhouses, or whatever his kids or grandkids wanted. When Grandpa and Ben made a building supply run, GPS in hand, we never knew when they would be back or what they would be back with. Greatly loved and sadly missed by all.

Truck stolen from Davidson

DAVIDSON—Police are looking for information to help find the person responsible for stealing a Ford pick-up truck in Davidson.

Craik RCMP report that on Sunday, June 10, sometime between 3 and 7 p.m., a late 1990s Ford F-150 black, regular cab pick-up truck with a step-side box was stolen from a residence on the 200 block of Government Road in Davidson.

The suspect in the theft of the truck is described a First Nations female, in her early 20s, of average height and weight with shorter hair. The truck’s owner, prior to the theft, invited the unidentified suspect to the residence.

One wheel short

Craik RCMP is seeking the public’s help in its investigation of the theft of some rally wheels in Girvin.

Sometime between Saturday, May 26 and Thursday, June 7, three 15-inch factory rally wheels were stolen off a pick-up truck parked in a field at Girvin.

Craik RCMP report that the suspect(s) took the unusual step of lifting the truck and placing it on top of other wheels so that the vehicle would not be left sitting on the ground.

If anyone has information about these crimes, they are asked to contact the Craik RCMP at 1-306-734-5200 or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
