A man is dead after an early-morning rollover in Saskatoon Sunday morning.

Police were called around 6:30 a.m. after a vehicle went off the road, ending up on its side in knee-deep water

"We responded to call of a single-vehicle rollover in a slough on 8th street, near McOrmond Drive," explained staff sergeant Murray Grismer, "fire and paramedic services were already in attendance and they were attempting to extricate two males that were found trapped in the vehicle."

A lock of hair discovered at the Diefenbaker Centre in Saskatoon could prove whether or not George Dryden is the former Prime Minister, John Diefenbaker's, illegitimate son.

But Dryden is skeptical.

"As far as I know there are no roots attached and as far as I know you need a root to do a DNA test," he said.

The 43 year old legal consultant has been on a quest for more than a year to prove that he is the only biological child of the late John Diefenbaker.

But the relationship with the centre in Saskatoon has been strained.

One officer went a little bit too far of the road Saturday morning in Saskatoon.

A cruiser got stuck in Leif Erickson park, which is just north of 23rd street on Avenue P in Saskatoon.

Police say the officer went to check on an impaired person when they got hung up on an embankment in the grass they didn't see.

Two tow trucks were called, trying to use winches to pull it out.

The U of S Huskies blanked the Alberta Golden Bears 32-0 in the Canada West conference opener at Griffiths Stadium on Friday night. The Huskies took a 12-0 lead in the first quarter thanks in part to Jeremy Andrew's 8 yard TD run. The Huskies continued their domination in the second quarter outscoring the Golden Bears 17-0. Braeden George caught a 47 yard pass from Drew Burko helping the home team to a 22-0 lead. Drew Burko added a one yard run late in the opening half as the Huskies took a 29-0 lead in to the locker room.
 

An early morning collision in Saskatoon Saturday involved five vehicles.  It happened just after 1:00am in the 1300 block of 33rd street.

The first vehicled turned west onto 33rd street, coming from Valens Drive and ended up hitting a taxi.  The taxi then crossed into the eastbound lane and hit an S-U-V before running into a tree.  Meanwhile, the first vehicle drove through a hedge, hit two parked vehicles and ended up in a private driveway.

George Dryden, the man who believes he's the son of former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, is one step closer to finding out who is paternal father is.

After some renovations at the Diefenbaker Canada Centre in Saskatoon, a lock of hair belonging the Canada's 13th prime minister has been discovered. 

"We had been checking the computerized digital records that we have of everything, and these things were simply not part of the digital record," Michael Atkinson with the centre told the Canadain Press. "We didn't find them until we were moving things around."
