The Bulls Are Back: Manor Fun Daze PBR Coming July 22

PUZZLE SOLUTIONS

By Lynne Bell The bulls are back! And so is an entire day of fun and excitement as the Village of Manor hosts its annual Manor Fun Daze PBR on Saturday, July 22.

The celebration centres around the Professional Bull Riders (PBR)sanctioned competition which takes place at 6:30 p.m. at the community’s fairground.

“All points the bull riders earn during this event count towards the Canadian Professional Bull Riders Finals in Las Vegas this fall,” says one of the event’s organizers, Andy Robertson. “ Our event falls under the category of Canadian Touring Pro,” adds Robertson. “Competitors come to Manor from Canada and the U.S. and last year, we even had a rider from Guatemala. And we often get riders from Australia and sometimes, New Zealand.”

“Last year we had 30 riders,” he says. “We’ve got young riders showing up on the scene as well as veterans,” he says. “It’s all totally unpredictable and you never know what’s going to happen next.”

Robertson says that the accessibility of Manor’s PBR competition is an added attraction.

“You’re right on top of it as a spectator,” he says.

“You can really see it and that makes it different from a big fair event. And earler in the day, we’ve also got (junior) Ladies Barrel Racing for our fans to enjoy.”

“We also have a new high-definition replay screen this year,” he says.

“That hi-def screen is run

by Feature Productions from Lethbridge. They do a lot of rodeo and after they do Manor, they’re off to do a rodeo in Swan River, Manitoba.”

“It’s a day where there’s something for everyone,” says Robertson.

Event treasurer Wendy Zandee agrees, saying, “We’ve got a full day and evening, starting with a pancake breakfast at the Legion Hall to start things off from 8 a.m. until 10 a.m.” “ At noon, our parade runs down Main Street and this year, we’re trying to get some older vehicles in the parade, but really, anyone is welcome to participate. Anyone can join in, even if it’s on the morning of the parade.”

“Last year, we had the firefighters from different communities in our area show up and take part in the parade and it was great,” adds Zandee.

“And this year - like every year - there’ll be lots of candy for the kids watching the parade.”

“There’s also a slopitch tournament,” says Zandee. “And anyone who would like to enter a team can get in touch with Laurie Hughes at (306)- 577-9451.”

Most of the day’s events take place at the Manor Fairgrounds, which are accessible via the village’s Main Street.

At the fairgrounds at 2 p.m., the Ladies Barrel Racing vent begins and the beer gardens open.

Suppertime starts at 4 p.m., with barbequed beef and pork on the menu, prepared by popular local caterer, Rylan Weir.

Bull riding begins at 6:30 and at 9 p.m., Saskatchewan country star Chris Henderson takes to the stage as the day closes out with a cabaret.

Zandee says that through its 38 year-history, Manor Fun Dayz PBR is first and foremost, a community event.

“The main thing is we try to put the profits back into the community again,” she says. “In the past, we’ve donated to

the Over-50 Club, the Legion, Manor School, the rink and the museum.”

“It’s an event for people from Manor and else-

where to enjoy and by doing that, they’re also contributing to the community,” says Zandee.

Residents Advised to Reduce Risk of West Nile Virus Health of�icials are advising residents to take precautions against mosquito bites, as the risk of West Nile Virus increases in Saskatchewan.

The virus is transmitted through the bite of infected Culex tarsalis mosquitoes, and is an annual risk for Saskatchewan residents during the summer months.

Most people who become infected with

West Nile Virus experience no symptoms or have mild illness (fever, headaches, body aches). A small number of people develop a more serious illness called West Nile Virus neuroinvasive disease. This can cause in�lammation of the brain and may result in death.

“The majority of people who get West Nile Virus improve on their own and don’t

need laboratory testing or medical attention,” Saskatchewan’s Deputy Chief Medical Health Of�icer Dr. Denise Werker said. “If you develop serious symptoms like a persistent fever, confusion, neck stiffness or an unusually severe headache, seek medical attention immediately.”

People are most at risk of exposure to the virus between mid-July and September when Culex

tarsalis mosquitoes are most active and present in higher numbers. The risk is highest in the southern portions of the province.

“Use appropriate insect repellent, cover up and wear light-coloured, loose �itting, longsleeved tops and long pants when outdoors,” Provincial West Nile Virus Co-ordinator Phil Curry said. “Also reduce the time spent outside

between dusk and dawn when Culex tarsalis are most likely to bite.”

In addition, maintain door and window screens so they �it tightly and are free of holes, and reduce mosquito habitat around your home and yard.

West Nile Virus was �irst identi�ied in Saskatchewan in 2002. Major outbreaks of West Nile Virus infection in humans occurred in

2003 and 2007. Between 2003 and 2016, there were 157 cases of West Nile Virus neuroinvasive disease; 17 resulted in death.

More information about West Nile Virus, including symptoms, prevention measures and weekly surveillance reports is available at www.saskatchewan. ca/residents/health/diseases-and-conditions/ west-nile-virus.

“The Roya l Saskatchewan Museum staff have brought to life an exhibit that tells a Saskatchewan and Canadian story,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said. “Featuring specimens from the caribou to the Saskatoon berry to the tooth of a Tyrannosaurus rex, this exhibit will educate and inspire. 150 for 150 is sure to be a great experience for all visitors.”

Visitors will have an opportunity to view rarely-seen specimens and learn about how RSM

curators know when a new species is discovered, how species get their names and why their names are important. The exhibit features invasive, extinct, newly discovered and common species. Visitors will see a variety of organisms, from very tiny insects to large mammals and dinosaur fossils. In addition, guests can get their picture taken with a caribou beautifully framed in giant 150 numbers.

There is also an opportunity to submit suggestions to name a recently discovered and as-of-yet unnamed 99 millionyear-old ant that was trapped in amber. 150 for 150 also features a fund-

raising component. Until December 31, 2017, the public can adopt one of the 150 species on display through the Adopt an Artifact fundraiser. Every adoption supports the 150 for 150 exhibit and the Friends of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum.

Throughout the season, the RSM will provide

ongoing 150 for 150 programming in addition to regular summer programming. The RSM, located at 2445 Albert Street, is open daily, including Canada Day, from 9:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.

The Government of Saskatchewan has teamed up with Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to inspect watercraft entering the country for signs of aquatic invasive species.

Since the start of 2017, CBSA has referred 81 high-risk watercraft to the Ministry of Environment for followup and checked more than 413 watercraft at the border.

“This joint effort with CBSA is part of the government’s aquatic invasive species prevention program,” Environment Minister Scott Moe said. “We are focusing on increased watercraft inspections, disinfecting high-risk watercraft entering the province, and additional education and awareness efforts to help protect our �ish populations and aquatic habitats.”

Earlier this spring, Ministry of Environment staff provided supple-

mentary training on aquatic invasive species to CBSA of�icers in southern Saskatchewan. Under the Customs Act and the Aquatic Invasive Species Regulations, CBSA of�icers have the authority to detain and refer to Fisheries and Oceans Canada of�icers or provincial enforcement authorities any aquatic species suspected to be live or dead zebra or quagga mussels and refuse infected watercraft entry into Canada, if necessary.

“Preventing the introduction of aquatic invasive species into Canadian waters is part of CBSA’s mandate, and we are proud to work together toward this end with the Ministry of Environment,” CBSA Chief of Operations Scott Kienlen said. “Our of�icers live and work in local communities and want to ensure our waterways remain safe for all to enjoy.”

Invasive mussels and other species can be impossible to eliminate if they become established in a waterbody, and have the potential to severely impact aquatic habitats, �isheries, valuable recreational resources and water-related infrastructure. Mussels can clog water intake structures and increase costs signi�icantly for irrigation, power generation and municipal water supply.

Saskatchewan is also part of the West911 network of western prov-

inces and U.S. states which noti�ies jurisdictions of the transportation of high-risk vessels.

In 2012, this network helped to identify and successfully decontaminate a vessel infested with quagga mussels prior to its entry into Saskatchewan.

The province will continue conducting roadside watercraft inspections this year, focusing on the Manitoba and U.S. borders, and highrisk waterbodies and events, such as �ishing

and boating events and wakeboard competitions, which see an increased number of boats entering the province from other jurisdictions.

Before returning home from out of province, coming to visit or moving between waters within the province, please remember to CLEAN, DRAIN and DRY your watercraft and all related

equipment to ensure it is free of invasive species.

More information about aquatic invasive species can be found in the Saskatchewan Anglers’ Guide, and online at www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/environment-public-healthand-safety/wildlifeissues/invasive-species/ aquatic-invasive-speciesprevention-program.

Carlyle Golf Course developing website

By Kelly Running Stop by the Carlyle Golf Course for a round, the 9-hole course can be doubled up for an 18-hole round, while it is a beautiful course to walk – there is very little elevation, which makes it ideal to head out for an enjoyable round of golf and a relaxing walk.

The Carlyle Golf Course is in the midst of setting up an exciting new feature! They are currently developing a website for the course, which is something that golf course manager, Martin Tourand, is excited about unveiling.

“We’re going to have a drone �ly over our course and we’ll upload it to the website and I will narrate… it will be a hole by hole presentation of what we have here,” he explained.

Watch for their new website coming soon; remember, for upto-date information �ind them on

Facebook: Carlyle Golf Club.

For the month of July there is a small Canada Post tournament on July 8, tee-times will be limited, but still available on this day.

On July 22, however, the course will be close as the Carlyle Golf Club is set to host the Annual WaWa Shriners Provincial Golf Tournament – an 18-hole event.

Men’s nights continue to be held on Monday nights at 6 p.m.

Tuesday evenings at 6 p.m. is Ladies’ Night. Pair’s Nights are hosted every Thursday at 6 p.m.

A fun change-up for one night only is the July 10th Men’s Night, which is seeing the course be turned into a par 3 – every hole will be altered, so that each one is a par 3.

For an easy, quick, and delicious meal stop by the course where they serve soup and sandwiches throughout the day as well.

LEKO’S CONSERVATION CORNER

By Ministry of Environment conservation officer Lindsey Leko

Clean, Drain, Dry Your Boat

Well, fishing season is well underway and the fish are biting. As many of you may be aware, there is a threat to our provincial waters that we want all anglers and boaters to be aware of.

Aquatic invasive species such as zebra and quagga mussels pose a significant danger to our fisheries and water infrastructure in Saskatchewan. This has been a huge problem in many southern states and eastern Canada and it is now a real threat to our clean waters.

These aquatic invaders pose several threats to our waters: • Valuable sportfish populations could be damaged as the zebra mussels in their vast numbers out-compete other organisms that fish eat. Simply put, they will disrupt our aquatic food chain.

• The mussels attach themselves to hard surfaces and plug water intake structures such as water treatment plants and large power plants.

Maintenance of these structures in areas already infested with zebra mussels cost millions of dollars annually.

• Sharp-edged mussel shells wash up on beaches and can be hazardous to people.

• As they are large filter feeders, these mussels can consume organic pollutants, passing them up the food chain to any fish or waterfowl that may prey on them.

Back in the 1980s, these nasty little critters made their way to North America in the ballast tanks of ocean-going ships. They are slowly making their way from the east and have been

found in Manitoba and in border-states such as Minnesota, Montana and North Dakota.

Zebra mussels get their name from the striped pattern of their shells and can grow to a maximum length of about 50 millimetres.

A single female zebra mussel can lay up to a million eggs in one year. Zebra mussel larvae can also survive in water contained in bait buckets, bilges, ballast bags or any other water moved from an infested lake or river.

Zebra mussels can be transferred from one waterbody to another easily as they can live out of water for up to seven days. They attach themselves to boats, nets, docks, swim platforms, boat lifts, and can be moved to a new waterbody on any of these objects. They also can attach to aquatic plants.

The Government of Saskatchewan is focusing on watercraft inspections, disinfecting high-risk watercraft entering the province and raising awareness about the issue. But we need your help.

To prevent the spread of these invasive species, staff from the Ministry of Environment, including conservation officers, will conduct road-side inspections at various locations across the province. If you happen to pass by one of these locations, please slow to 60 km/hr and follow any signs or instructions.

The Canada Border Services Agency is also working with the province by screening incoming boats from the United States for signs of aquatic invasive species. If they pose any type of a risk, these boats will be ordered to the closest decontamination site.

Saskatchewan has two decontamination units that will make their way around the province over the summer.

If you purchased a boat in the United

States, please be conscientious about the originating state and whether they have invasive species. If they do, and you bring your boat into Saskatchewan… then your boat may be a threat to our clean waters.

Remember, before returning home from out of province, visiting or moving between waters within the province – please remember to CLEAN, DRAIN and DRY your watercraft and all related equipment to ensure it is free of invasive species.

We can all play a part in protecting our waters by doing the following: • CLEAN and inspect the watercraft, trailer, equipment and all gear that made contact with the water. Remove all visible plants, animals and mud. Scrub/scrape grainy surfaces that feel like sandpaper, as this could be young mussels too small to see. Inspect the watercraft, trailer and vehicle.

• DRAIN all onboard water from the motor, live well, bilge, and ballast tanks. Leave plugs out during transport and storage.

- Make sure the hull of the boat is above the plug hole when checking to see if water is in the ballast area under the deck of the boat.

- This is best accomplished at the boat ramp when pulling boat out of water on an incline.

This is also the time to drop the motor’s leg and drain engine water out of the leg.

• DRY your watercraft, equipment and all related gear completely after each use, prefera-

bly for at least five days while leaving compartments open to dry.

This is a practice we want all boaters and watercraft users to follow, even if you are only moving between waters

within the province. We need to act as if these invasive mussels are already here and make Clean, Drain and Dry part of our normal routine.

If you find or suspect

aquatic invasive species, report any sightings to the nearest Ministry of Environment office or call the TIP Line at 1-800-667-7561.

Until next time…keep your boat clean and dry.

Canada 150 Legacy Monument coming to Saskatchewan Saskatchewan will become the permanent home of one of 13 unique works of art representing Canadian provinces and territories that have been created in celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary.

The exhibit of largerthan-life artistic horticulture structures, covered in live plants and �lowers, are part of a larger Canada 150 exhibition that opens July 1 at Jacques Cartier Park in Gatineau, Quebec.

The Saskatchewanthemed work of art is a depiction of a Royal

Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Of�icer dressed in Red Serge, on a horse. The structures were designed to re�lect the values, culture and arts associated with each Canadian province and territory.

“This art work is an ideal representation for Saskatchewan and a creative way to celebrate an important milestone in our country’s history,” Minister Responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Christine Tell said. “The symbolic nature of the art illustrates the important role

the RCMP has played in the growth and history of Canada and our province.”

The horse and rider stand more than 14 feet tall and 14 feet long, with the lance held by the rider rising nearly 20 feet into the air. The metal structure is decorated with more than 13,000 plants and �lowers, including dragon’s breath, black mondo grass, carex and santolina.

“Since its formation in 1873, the RCMP has been closely associated with Saskatchewan, especially its role in training cadets

for service in communities across the country,” RCMP Heritage Centre CEO Marty Klyne said. “It’s only �itting that as a national icon, the RCMP Horse and Rider has been chosen to represent our province on this special anniversary for Canada.”

The horse and rider will be transported to Saskatchewan following the Gatineau exhibition, with arrangements being made for a permanent home where it will be put on display for public viewing.

4. What group had a hit with “Ain’t No Woman (Like the One I’ve Got).”

5. Name the song that contains this lyric: “Lord this must be my destination ‘Cause they told me when I was younger, Said boy, you’re gonna be president.”

Answers 1. James Ray, in 1962. John Lennon included the song on his personal jukebox, and the Beatles often would perform the song live after Paul McCartney discovered it.

2. Gerry & The Pacemakers, in 1965. The Twin Cities Gay Men’s Chorus added it to their repertoire in 1995, ending all their concerts with the song.

3. Elton John, in 1975. He wrote the song for his friend Billie Jean King, who was then on the Philadelphia Freedom tennis team.

4. The Four Tops, in 1973. The Detroit quartet remained together for more than 40 years without a change in personnel.

5. “Pink Houses,” written and released by John Mellencamp in 1983.

The song has been used for political campaigns, including Republican Sen. John McCain’s — until Mellencamp called and mentioned that he happened to be a Democrat.

• If the clinking and clacking your dog’s tags are driving you crazy, wrap one of them in clear packing tape.

Cut off excess and the tags can hit each other all night without making a sound.

• “You can keep salad dressing from coming out so fast if you use a knife tip to poke several holes along one side of the foil safety covering on a bottle of dressing. This works for oil and vinegar based ones, but not as well for creamy ones. For those, just remove half of the foil by cutting it with the knife tip. It’s much better to control the flow!” — M.R. in Idaho • “I use baking soda to scour my kitchen sink. Then I rinse it down with a little vinegar. It cleans up really nicely and leaves the drains fresh.” — J.C. in California • Here’s a great tip for cooking a baked potato in the microwave. You may have heard to pierce the potato with a sharp knife or the tines of a fork, but you also can use four toothpicks to give it some legs to stand on. This allows the air to circulate all around the potato, therefore ensuring even cooking! Plus, it looks cute.

• Using an online recipe? Slip your tablet or phone into a plastic zipper-top bag so that it will be ingredient free when cooking time is over. You can still use the touchscreen through the bag, but no mess!

• Clean a coffee grinder with a cup of uncooked rice. Process it through, then dump the contents.

Fuel for Summer Activities Canada Safety Council Camping, cottaging and meals on the barbecue are Canada’s summertime passions. In addition, more and more Canadians travel by RV during the summer.

Propane is the energy source that often powers these activities. It is versatile, economical and safe, and can be taken where no other fuels can go. Stored as a liquid and used as a gas, it will cook meals, heat the cottage or trailer, ensure a supply of hot water, and even refrigerate food.

According to Bob Cunningham, managing director of the Propane Gas Association of Canada, propane appliances are growing in popularity.

“People who use propane all year round are usually familiar with how to handle it properly,” he says. “But many Canadians use it mainly on vacation or for the barbecue. As with any fuel, safety is always important, and special care is needed when reacquainting yourself with a product not used for several months.”

Propane is a colourless and odourless gas. A smell is added so you can detect a leak by a strong, distinct odour like rotten

eggs or boiling cabbage.

Leaking propane is heavier than air and will �low to low-lying areas.

If you suspect a leak, turn off the supply of propane at the cylinder and leave the area immediately. Do not turn light switches or �lashlights on or off, or operate phones.

Once you are well away from the area, phone your service supplier. If you suspect your gas barbecue is leaking or smell an odour shut off the cylinder and do not light the grill.

Propane incidents are rare, in part because of strictly enforced safety regulations. All cylinders must have a decal identifying the contents as a �lammable gas. In Canada, they must be inspected and re-quali�ied or replaced every 10 years.

A date stamp on the collar of the cylinder indicates when it was last quali�ied.

Only a quali�ied technician may �ill your cylinder.

It is illegal for an attendant to �ill an outdated cylinder, or to �ill a cylinder beyond 80% capacity.

Anyone who uses propane cylinders must follow the rules when transporting, storing or handling them.

It comes down to common sense. Look after

your appliances, make sure they are well ventilated, and use them only for what they were meant to do. For instance, burners and ovens are designed for cooking, not to heat your tent or RV. The Canada Safety Council recommends an annual safety inspection of your whole system, including the appliances.

For many summer chefs, gas barbecues are the appliance of choice.

They require similar precautions, including a safety check, cleaning and maintenance at the start of the season, and good ventilation around the equipment.

“It’s absolutely essential for the tubes to be clear and in good repair,” notes Ivan Tanner of the Ottawa Fire Service. “Spiders and other insects love to build nests in them and that can cause dangerous blockages.”

When using the barbecue, turn the cylinder service valve on �irst, and turn it off �irst. When you �inish, ensure no propane is left in the hose and then close the burner control valves. Make sure the gas grill is shut off and has completely cooled before covering it.

Transport, Store and Handle Cylinders Properly • Transport cylinders in a secured, upright position,

and in a well-ventilated space.

• When transporting or storing disconnected cylinders, plug or cap all cylinder outlets.

• Keep cylinders out of the passenger space or living area of your RV or camper.

• Store cylinders outdoors, and off the ground on a base that will not burn.

• Never smoke while handling a propane cylinder.

Highway work zones are setting up across the province as the Government of Saskatchewan’s $1.1 billion Highways and Infrastructure budget is put into action. The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure is working with crews to ensure work zones are set up correctly, while reminding the public that they can report missing or inappropriate signs.

“If you encounter a work zone that is not set up properly or has signs blown over, please contact the ministry at 306244-5535,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit said. “Please remember there is no reason to speed through a work zone.”

Before driving into a Saskatchewan highway work zone, you will see an orange sign with a black image of a worker and the words “Workers Present.” This will be followed by a black and white speed sign of 60 km/hr.

When approaching the end of a work zone, you will see a sign with the words “End of Work Area.” This will be followed by another black and white sign, which indicates you can resume the posted maximum speed limit.

There may be cases where there are hazards in the work zone, such as a sharp pavement drop or loose stones, which warrant keeping your speed at 60 km/hr even

though workers are not present.

Travellers should anticipate delays and plan ahead by checking the Highway Hotline at www.saskatchewan. ca/highwayhotline. The weekly construction update is published on www.saskatchewan. ca/residents/transportation/highway-construction-projects/weekly-

highway-constructionupdate throughout the spring and summer months to provide the travelling public with the latest construction information.

The Government of Saskatchewan has invested $7.4 billion in transportation infrastructure since 2008, improving more than 12,000 km of Saskatchewan highways.

Keeping Anglers Safe on the Water July 1st – 9th marks National Fishing Week in Canada. The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the Lifesaving Society want to remind anglers that wearing your lifejacket is even more important than wearing your ‘lucky �ishing hat’. But they do share one trait. They both have to be worn to be effective!

According to the Lifesaving Society’s 2016 Canadian Drowning Report, 82 percent of recreational boaters who drowned in the past �ive years were found not wearing a lifejacket or Personal Floatation Device (PFD).

Over half (54%) of boating deaths occurred during powerboat use, with small powerboats less than 5.5

metres in length (26%) the most common vessel type. A majority of these victims were males (80%) between the ages of 20 and 60 years of age, often out for a day of �ishing.

Many of those who don’t wear their lifejackets or PFDs believe that, since they are good swimmers, having them onboard and within easy reach is good enough. But a lifejacket stored under a seat or up in the bow will be of no help when the unexpected happens, like falling overboard while trying to net the catch.

“National surveys clear-

ly show that more than half the recreational boats sold in Canada are used for �ishing on a regular basis,” says John Gullick, Chair of the Canadian Safe Boating Council. “During National Fishing Week, the Canadian Safe Boating Council would like to remind all anglers not only to have their lifejacket onboard their boat, but to look after it and wear it. If you happen to fall overboard, it will give you the time you need to calm down, catch your breath,assess your situation and effect, or help effect, a rescue. In 2 out of 3 drownings related to

boating, the victims were less than 15 meters from some form of safety.”

Many of today’s anglers are delighted with the models that are designed especially to suit their needs. They’re rugged, allow for full freedom of movement to cast and are constructed with lots of pockets for gear. Some even come equipped with an attachment from which to hang a landing net.

When choosing their lifejacket, anglers should also check the label to make sure it is Transport Canada approved, is the correct size and �its snugly.

“The Lifesaving Society of Ontario is pleased to promote the Hooked on Lifejackets program,” said Barbara Byers, Public Education Director with the Lifesaving Society. “Our organization is dedicated to drowning prevention and strongly supports anglers wearing their lifejackets while enjoying our waterways.”

Fishing is a part of our Canadian fabric and an activity that’s easy to get hooked on. At this important time of year, the CSBC and the LSS are asking those who �ish to ‘Get Hooked on Lifejackets’ too.
