Vern Burns – Saskatchewan Legionnaire of the Year

Leave a reply

(By George Ward)

At a Legion rally in Lloydminster May 6, Vernon Burns of Unity SK was presented with Saskatchewan’s Legion Member of the Year Award, in recognition of his years of creative, energetic participation with the Royal Canadian Legion, Unity Branch No. 90.

Vernon Burns of Unity Saskatchewan

After serving briefly in the militia — Canadian Army Reserve Forces — Vern joined Unity Branch No. 90 in the early 1960s. From the start, he worked hard. As an electrician, he knew the building trades, had contacts and know how to get jobs done.

When the Boy Scout Camp was constructed at Atton’s Lake, a Legion-assisted project, Vern and his helpers build the dining hall and other smaller buildings.

Committed to athletics, like his older brother Robert Burns, Vern coached and played, both in local and Legion-organized sports.

Eventually, Vern’s work called him and his wife Sadie to other communities. After retirement, he and Sadie returned to Unity and Vern rejoined the local Legion in the early 1990s.

Vern has served as branch president and, for many years, as property manager, performing hundreds of minor repairs to the Unity Legion Hall and, when necessary, consulting other tradesmen. His skill and experience have saved the Unity Legion thousands of dollars through the past 25 years.

Beyond the call of official duties, Vern for years sanded and re-varnished the hall main floor annually. Until very recently, he was usually “first on the scene” to shovel winter snow.

With Sadie, a member of the Legion Auxiliary, at his side, Vern has judged dozens of Remembrance Day essay and poster contests, has helped serve hundred of meals — and cleaned up afterwards — and has been “Johnny on the spot” for countless special projects.

What a wonderful team this team have been, working hard for Branch No. 90 and our community!

RCMP ask public to watch for stolen golf clubs

Leave a reply

The Unity RCMP are asking the public to be aware that a large number of golf clubs were stolen from the storage units at the Unity Golf Course overnight June 29-30. Police are asking for the public’s assistance in reporting any suspicious advertising of high-end golf clubs for sale at lower than fair market prices as it is expected that, with the quantity of golf clubs stolen, they are being sold by the thieves rather than being kept for their personal use.

The Unity RCMP also is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the persons responsible for the break and enter and theft at the Unity & District Regional Park golf course, near Unity, Saskatchewan.

Between 10:30 p.m. June 29 and 7a.m. June 30, unknown persons broke into two large storage shed structures at the golf course. Each contained multiple individual cart and club storage units. Once inside of the buildings, the thieves went through the individual storage units and stole a large amount of brand name golf equipment. Several complete bags of clubs were stolen, while other property owners reported the suspects had gone through their bags and only stolen the newer, name-brand clubs.

At this time the RCMP can say that several complete sets of Taylor Made clubs were stolen. Other brand names that were targeted were Callaway, Ping and Nike as well as some others. The total value of the thefts is yet to be determined, but one set of clubs that was stolen was valued at $4,000.

If you have information about the identity of the suspects involved in these offences or if you see golf clubs advertised at lower than normal prices, you are asked to contact the Unity RCMP at 306-228-6300. If you wish to remain anonymous, you may also call Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, or *8477 on the SaskTel Mobility Network. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $2,000 for information which leads to the arrest of person(s) responsible for any serious crime. Crime Stoppers is anonymous and does not subscribe to call display, nor are your calls traced or recorded.You can also submit a tip online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com.
