All of life depends on water, and all of us are citizens of a watershed. Our activities and the ways we use our water resources and the land adjacent to the water affect the quality of our drinking water, our recreational opportunities, and the health and diversity of aquatic plants and animals.

Barely escaping a skunk at the hands of Rick Skindrud and Steve Sponem (Kleeman’s), Janice Magnuson and Bruce Milestone struggled for the one and only point they could round up in the seventh frame.

Unfortunately for the Mounties, this wasn’t enough to put them in a sunset victory ride moment. The Hay Shakers stacked up a 26-point win.
