Sea of Purple

Davidson School students and staff wore purple shirts to school last Thursday to raise awareness of Rett Syndrome, a rare non-inherited genetic neurological disorder. They had a special guest with them Marlee Schneider and her mom Heidi who were sitting in the middle of the purple crowd. Marlee has Rett Syndrome and visited the school to pose for a picture with the school kids. October is Rett Syndrome Awareness Month. As a show of support, people throughout Canada have been lighting their homes and businesses with purple lights.

Fresh from the Garden

  • Frank Nizinkevich grew this whopper of a red potato. It weighs three pounds, 11 ounces, outweighing a potato grown by his daughter Michelle Ringdal by one pound (featured in the Sept. 30, 2019 edition of The Davidson Leader). Please keep sending us pictures of your garden fines. Email davidsonleader@sasktel.net, text 306-567-8638 or stop by the office and we’ll take a picture.
  • This beet just about walked away when its gardener tried to pluck it out of the ground. Thank you to Mary Walker’s granddaughter for sending us this picture.

From the Garden Patch

  • Longtime gardener, but first time pumpkin grower Tim Bruch had great success this year in the pumpkin patch. He sent in this picture of a 48-pound pumpkin he grew in his Davidson garden.
  • Blanche Klovansky sent in this picture of some big treasures unearthed in the Klovansky garden. This huge turnip weighed 11 pounds and the big beet beside it is no slouch either. The beet weighs 7.2 pounds.
  • Nick Anton holds a giant vegetable marrow he grew in his garden near Bladworth. The marrow weighs 15 pounds. Nick says he was watching it for about a month to see how big it would get. He was hoping it would make it to 20 pounds, however, he had to pick it Sunday, Sept. 29 to save it from the snow and freezing temperatures. He picked two wheelbarrow loads of squash Sunday, so if anyone needs some, they may contact Nick. The 15-pound vegetable marrow is on display at The Leader office.
