Borden Fire Department's water truck arrived this past week, having been trucked in from New York state. The truck is a 1993 model with very low mileage so it should be able to do the job for many years to come. The truck comes with a few extra perks that the old truck didn’t have and it still has to be fitted out with some hoses before put in operation.
World Day of Prayer is held March 3 and it will be observed at the Radisson Lutheran Church at 2 p.m. The service this year was written by the women of the Philippines, and everyone is welcome to attend.
