Team Sask concludes the 2017 Canada Summer Games with 35 podium performances and multiple historic finishes

PUZZLE SOLUTIONS

After two weeks of intense competition in 16 different sports, the 2017 Canada Summer Games have concluded, with Saskatchewan landing in seventh place in the medal standings. Team Sask athletes earned 35 medals in total at the Games: 8 gold, 10 silver, and 17 bronze.

Six of those medals were earned by Saskatoon paraswimmer Shelby Newkirk, who won 4 gold and 2 silver medals in Winnipeg. As a seven-time Canadian and two-time Americas record holder in various paraswimming events, Newkirk is one of Saskatchewan’s most promising Paralympic prospects. Other Team Sask alumni who have gone on to Olympic glory after competing at the Canada Games include Catriona LeMay Doan in speed skating and athletics, Brianne TheisenEaton in athletics, and Kaylyn Kyle in soccer.

During week two, six medals were earned in wrestling and an additional three were earned in swimming by Becky Dean, Emma Spence, and Michael McGillivary, who set a new provincial record in his 800m freestyle swim.

Other highlights throughout the course of the Games included Nick Patrick of St. Louis, SK pitching a perfect soft-

ball game against B.C.; Joe Gerlinsky of the Battlefords winning gold and the province’s �irst-ever gold medal in sailing; Kade Johnson of Yorkton shooting a 66 in golf on his birthday, 6 under par and the lowest score of the tournament; men’s softball notching its highest-ever performance at a Games with a silver medal; and additional podium performances in rowing, athletics, and diving.

In what was the highest-attended event of any Canada Games in its 50-year history, Team Sask capped off the �irst week of the Games with a gold medal baseball match against Team Manitoba.

In front of a crowd of 6,800 in Winnipeg’s Shaw Park, Saskatchewan prevailed 3-1 and made history by bringing home the province’s �irst-ever gold medal in baseball at the Canada Games -- and one of its �irst-ever gold medal performances in a team sport.

Beyond its seventhplace standings in the �inal medal count, Team Sask landed sixth in the provincial and territorial rankings for Flag Points. Flag points are earned in each event and are used to calculate a province or territory’s aggregate improvement from the most recent Canada Summer Games.

By that measure, Team Sask ended up in third place behind Manitoba and New Brunswick.

At the 2013 Canada Summer Games held in Sherbrooke, Team Sask ended up in sixth place in both medal count and �lag points.

The following sports were contested during the two-week duration of the Games: • Athletics • Baseball (Male) • Basketball (Male & Female) • Canoe Kayak • Cycling (Road) • Cycling (Mountain Bike) • Diving • Golf • Sailing • Soccer (Male & Female) • Softball (Female & Female) • Swimming • Rowing • Tennis • Triathlon • Volleyball (Male & Female) • Beach Volleyball (Male & Female) • Wrestling This year saw the Canada Games celebrate its 50th anniversary. The next edition of the biannual Games, which alternate between summer and winter, will be held in Red Deer, Alberta in 2019. The next Canada Summer Games will be held in the Niagara region of Ontario in 2021.

Annual Ryder Cup hosted between White Bear and Kenosee

By Kelly Running The White Bear and Kenosee Lake Ryder Cup was hosted on Saturday, Aug. 26, and Sunday, Aug. 27.

The two clubs have been hosting this fun, competitive tournament for many years and it remains a fun way for the two beautiful golf courses in the Moose Mountains to be enjoyed.

Great shots, fantastic competition, and a high level of sportsmanship was found on the courses, which included two rounds at Golf Kenosee on the Saturday and one round at White Bear Lake Golf Course on the Sunday – this format switches between the two clubs each year. After the two days of competition it was Team Kenosee that came out on top.

White Bear Lake Golf Course Pro, Gord Petker, said, “It was great weather for the whole weekend and it was very good golf, high calibre on both sides, so everyone should be proud of how they played.”

Team White Bear: Gord Jarvis, Martin Tourand, Dennis Lizuck, Brett Standingready, Travis Mryglod, Brad Mryglod, Stan Littlechief, Cory Pinacie, Dean Lequeyer, Dez Littlechief, Tyler Mryglod, and Kyle Mryglod.

Team Golf Kenosee: Brian Dean, Buddy Buschense, Ty Lamontagne, Kent Sauter, Rick Halberg, Jay Mohr, Fritz Sauter, Dave Balfour, Paul Grimes, Ben Brown, Mike Currie, and Clark Lemieux.

Envision Counselling and Support Centre looking for donations of gift cards

The White Bear Lake Golf Course top golfers faced off against the Golf Kenosee top golfers in their annual Ryder Cup Golf Tournament. This year the two-day event saw golfers compete two rounds at Golf Kenosee on Saturday, Aug. 26, and one round at White Bear Lake Golf Course on Sunday, Aug. 27. Here (from left to right) Brett Standingready and Dennis Lizuck represent the White Bear Lake Golf Course, while Kent Sauter and Ty Lamontagne represent Golf Kenosee.

By Kelly Running Envision Counselling and Support Centre has been working tirelessly in the southeast for many years. One of the ways they assist clients and women in need in the area is through gift cards, but they are currently in critical need and are asking if anyone has gift cards – unused or partially used – to consider donating them to Envision.

“Often when an individual is starting a new life free of violence and abuse, Envision will provide gift cards for gas or other necessities,” they stated in a press release.

Envision has four of�ices in the southeast including Estevan, Weyburn, Carlyle, and Oxbow. People interested in helping through donation of a gift card can drop them off at the location nearest them. In Carlyle, Envision can be found on Main Street.

Envision was �irst established in 1994 under the name, Violence Intervention Program, and was an amalgamation of the Estevan Society Against Family Violence and the Weyburn Community Against Family Violence – both groups had been operating for over a decade. Today they continue to offer their services.

“Envision Counselling and Support Centre offers counselling and support for individual experiencing abuse or other traumatic events,” they explained in a press release. “We are the only Sexual Assault Centre in this part of the province, providing services to victims and their families.”

Rules of Golf

Golf Kenosee has great season

Golf Kenosee had a great season, which saw numerous people attend the hidden gem of the prairies.

“We had a good season,” Shaun Woods, Golf Pro at Kenosee, explained. “It’s been busy, so thank you to everyone who came out for the season to play Golf Kenosee. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves.”

“We’re welcoming everyone out for the fall season, which is a great time to play; I look forward to the fall season, it’s the nicest time to play in my opinion.”

With the season winding down, there are also sales on currently and great deals on clothing, golf equipment, and golf shoes.

“Lessons are still available and we are currently running a tournament special as well for the fall,” Woods said.

The course will be open until the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, unless weather turns, and there is an early snow.

“Hours will begin to shorten with the days being shorter,” Woods explained.

The last couples night being held is on Tuesday, Sept. 29, which will be held earlier than previous couples nights as there is less sunshine in the day as we head into fall. Friday Nine/Wine/Dine is being held on Friday, Sept 8, book your spot now for a $99 deal per couple to enjoy the evening.

Golf Kenosee’s 55+ tournament is being held on Tuesday, Sept 5.

Winter Concert Series Although we continue to bask in the sun, Club 19 is already organizing into the fall with a Tasting Event being held on Nov. 2. Here they pair food with drinks – a liquor rep will be out with different drinks and a unique menu based on these.

Tim Williams, a blues singer, has been booked already for Nov. 30.

Rule for Signing Scorecards ByGolfSaskatchewan Score card errors are common in Amateur Golf and often because there is a lack of understanding the importance of scoring at the conclusion of a round. It is important competitors take her/his time in the scoring area at the end of a round to ensure the accuracy of her/his of�icial scorecard.

A marker and player should ensure the following: • each hole score is legible in the space provided and should be recorded after the play of a hole, and • the marker and competitor have signed the score cards in the space provided at the end of the round, and • if there are any concerns, the players involved work it out prior to leaving the scoring area, and • let the Committee know any areas of

concern, and �inally • all players remain in the scoring area until the volunteers/committee has given the players the all clear message.

This is why patience and diligence are important in the scoring area and double-checking the scores for each hole. Mistakes and lack of due diligence can result in a disquali�ication of one or more players.

Decision 34-1b/2 - Not Signing a Scorecard Scenario 1: A competitor fails to sign a scorecard and it is discovered after the competition has closed. In this scenario let’s think that the competitor who failed to sign his scorecard actually won the event; what would the Committee do in this case?

Question: Did the competitor know that he/she failed to sign the scorecard

before competition closed?

• If yes, then he/ she would be disquali�ied, and • if the competitor did not know that he/she failed to sign the scorecard then the result of the competition must stand.

Decision 6-6d Signing for a Wrong Score for a Hole.

Scenario 2: A competitor is responsible for the correctness of the score recorded for each hole on his/her scorecard.

• If he/she were to return a score for any hole lower than actually taken, the competitor would be disquali�ied.

If the competitor submits a score for a hole that is higher than actually taken, there is not penalty and the reported score will be taken as the correct score for that hole.

“Realms”, An allegorical concept album about the breadth of the human experience

By Blake Berglund www.blakeberglund.com [You] bet that he’s a “Pretty Good Guy”.

Our hero does his best.

Has a heart, tries to be a better guy, doesn’t take shit off anybody. He’s a good ol’ boy that’s close with his mama, will never leave a person hanging, and will throw down if pushed. But even the best of them fall. For whatever reason, the day to day grind starts to wear on a soul and sometimes one just has to step out of the picture for a bit.

Our hero prefers a horseback ride. A warm fall evening completes the most ideal setting to release all stresses, just add an old palomino mare, a cool creek and a toke.

Lost in Saskatchewan’s south east corner, pasture land at the edge of “Moose Mountain” Provincial Park.

But it’s only a temporary scenario, almost too good to be true. The weight of the “Crooked Old Earth” is waiting upon one’s return.

Painful when faced and disappointing as all hell.

Really makes a guy wonder why he even tries. So he slips. He quits.

Acumen replaced by apathy. A sense of values and ethics, overridden by despair. Addiction results.

Where the “Heat of the Sun” was almost worshipped, it’s renounced.

A consuming thought of death, self-in�licted. An acceptance of nothing, numb.

But no matter how dark, the smallest light shines.

To ask for help is an act of extreme vulnerability.

But he does so however he knows – talks a little more openly and does his best to look it in the face. It won’t go without a �ight. “With Men My Age” he says “is when the pain starts slowly slipping in”.

But it’s more than slipped in, it’s winning. “The Grip”.

And then something steps in and communicates how it can. Something else takes control of the outcome. Some may call it intervention, it’s an open door. So he steps through it. Towards it. He feels closer to some areas more

With harvest beginning in various parts of Saskatchewan, people travelling our province’s highways are reminded to plan ahead, be patient and watch for large farm equipment.

“The size of farm equipment has grown exponentially over the past number of years,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister David Marit said. “Farmers will be working all hours of the day, so I would like to remind drivers to please be patient and keep an eye out for slow-moving or oversized farm equipment.”

Producers seek-

ing information about what safety measures are required for moving machinery along Saskatchewan highways, or for technical advice regarding whether a particular piece of farm equipment is too heavy for a certain road, please visit www.saskatchewan. ca/business/transportation-and-road-construction/information-fortruckers-and-commercial-trucking-companies/ moving-farm-equipment or call 306-787-5307.

And beyond that.

And he grows. With gratitude.

He is The “Interloper”.

He is a riddler. A storyteller. He �inds the Truth and hides the truth. He likes numbers. He has his teachers and now he has his stu-

Your emotions will be all over the place this week. Take the time to discuss your concerns with the people involved. You will be surprised at how receptive they are, which will allow you to calm your state of mind.

GEMINI

It’s always easier to get along with people with whom you’re not emotionally involved. Try to avoid discussing financial matters with your extended family. They won’t take no for an answer.

There will be no shortage of emergencies to deal with at work. You will need to exercise diplomacy and tact to get along with everybody, including your family at home.

LEO

You’re overwhelmed with things to do this week, and your sleep will suffer from it. There’s a good chance that you’ll receive warm recognition for something you did some time ago.

VIRGO

Though family life requires a fair amount of energy, it also returns gratitude in spades. You will be delighted by your loved ones’ eagerness to trust your advice.

LIBRA

You have more errands to run than usual, and your kids will make you feel like a taxi driver all week. Make sure you get the right directions before you leave; a simple misunderstanding could leave you lost in the middle of nowhere.

SCORPIO

You may have to iron out a few matters with your bank. At home, you’ll find yourself wondering about your partner’s true wants and needs. Proper communication makes miracles.

SAGITTARIUS

There’s a lot of action on the horizon. A charismatic friend may even convince you to try a new sport.

Your creativity will enable you to find new ways to make money.

CAPRICORN

Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends, especially if you have health issues. A reunion with friends is all you’ll need to finally relax and have a good time.

AQUARIUS

Don’t be surprised if you have to revamp your wardrobe for work. New clothes, and maybe even a whole new look, may help you achieve a new level of self-confidence.

PISCES

You will be in charge of an important gathering at work or with your family. Your levelheadedness will enable you to accomplish great things and solve tricky problems.

Consumer Alert - Fake Tickets Don’t Impress Us Much Shania Twain tickets for the Saskatoon show go on sale August 25, but if fans aren’t careful, smooth-talking fraudsters or scalpers may leave them out in the cold.

The Consumer Protection Division of the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA) warns consumers about the risk of fraudulent tickets or overpriced tickets

listed by resellers. The best way to ensure paying a fair price for a legitimate ticket is to only buy from a primary seller, typically Ticketmaster.

Thirdparty resellers profit by using automated bots to quickly scoop up tickets, and sell them far beyond the face value of the original ticket. Buying from scalpers makes the problem worse.

Red Flags - Two big red flags that won’t impress you much: • Tickets listed without specific seat numbers; and • Tickets listed in U.S. dollar amounts for a Canadian show.

Protect yourself – Buy with a credit card If you buy from a resale site, it may be easier to get a refund by purchasing tickets with a credit card compared

to cash or debit. Read the terms and conditions on your card to understand what protections are available to you.

Forty-eight hour restriction on advertising and sales: It is illegal for a reseller to sell, advertise or list for sale, any tickets to an event in Saskatchewan unless the tickets are in the person’s possession or

control. It is also illegal for the reseller to sell, advertise or list for sale, any tickets until at least 48 hours after the tickets to the same event were made available to the general public.

Report ticket fraud: If consumers see a reseller breaking these rules or have a complaint, they can contact the Consumer Protection Division tollfree at 1-877-880-5550

or by email at consumerprotection@gov.sk.ca.

The Ticket Sales Act: The Ticket Sales Act and regulations have more details about advertising restrictions, pre-sales and additional rules to protect consumers.

Uranus rises in the east about mid-evening in the constellation Pisces, The Fish.

Neptune is visible all through the night in Aquarius. It is occulted by the Moon on the 6th, but this is an exceedingly dif�icult observation, as the bright Moon overpowers the distant, dim planet.

NIGHT SKIES | SEPTEMBER AN ASTRONOMY ARTICLE BY JAMES EDGAR

The Moon begins the month in gibbous phase, nearing full. Even though the planet is a tough one to image, viewers might like to try seeing Neptune only half a degree away from the full Moon on September 5. This near graze is an occultation in the extreme south of South America and Antarctica. On the 12th, Aldebaran is occulted by the Moon in the Western Hemisphere from Hawaii to the Azores. The 13th marks the Moon’s closest to Earth, perigee of 369,860 km. By the

17th and 18th, a rapid-�ire group of occultations give observers a treat, Venus is half a degree above our satellite on the 17th, an occultation in Southeast Asia; a few hours later, Regulus is occulted in Africa and the Middle east; Mars is occulted on the 18th at 20:00 UT for Hawaiians and NW South Americans; �inally, Mars is covered for easternmost Asia and Polynesia that evening.

The �irst two are morning events, so rise early to get the best view. On the 22nd, Jupiter is 4

degrees below the Moon; and Saturn is 3 degrees south on the 26th. The Moon is at apogee that day at 404,348 km.

Mercury in the morning sky is the best apparition for the year, joining Regulus on the 1oth, Mars on the 16th, and the Moon on the 18th (see above).

Venus is bright in the early eastern morning sky, with a particularly close conjunction with the Moon on the 17th, and just as close to Regulus on the 19th.

Mars spent a few weeks behind the Sun,

and emerges in the morning sky by midmonth. Mercury and Mars are within a half degree of each other on the 16th, and Mars is one of the players in the occultation series mentioned above for September 18.

Jupiter is rapidly closing in on the Sun in the early evening sky. Watch for a conjunction with Spica on the 5th. By the 20th, the gas giant will be too close to the Sun for easy observation.

Saturn sets before midnight in the western sky. The slender Moon

Government creates new entity in response to report on crime Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant today announced the creation of the new Protection and Response Team (PRT) to aid in the reduction of crime in rural Saskatchewan.

The new PRT is being created in response to recommendations by the Caucus Committee on Crime (Committee). The new PRT will consist of 258 armed of�icers who will have arrest and detention powers, and will be comprised of: • 120 police of�icers

from RCMP and municipal police services: o 60 police positions currently deployed to the Combined Traf�ic Services Saskatchewan (CTSS) Initiative; o 30 new police positions; and o 30 re-purposed police positions currently funded by the ministry, will be integrated with, • 40 Ministry of Highways Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Of�icers (CVEO) with expanded powers; and • 98 Ministry of Envi-

ronment Conservation Of�icers (CO).

All PRT members will receive a comprehensive training curriculum which will be provided to all of�icers regardless of their designations. PRT expands on the successes of blended policing models to: • Improve police response to emergency calls for services, including property crimes that are in progress.

• Enhance uniform visibility and presence in rural Saskatchewan.

• Increase the enforcement of drug traf�icking on Saskatchewan’s roadways.

• Enhance the safety of Saskatchewan roads by reducing the number of serious collisions and fatalities.

“The security and safety of the people of Saskatchewan is the number one priority of the Ministry of Justice,” Wyant said. “I would like to thank

NEW BUSINESS HOURS EFFECTIVE AS OF TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 5th, 2017 Monday-Friday 9am-4pm

the Caucus Committee on Crime for their thorough efforts in their provincewide consultations.”

A total of $5.9 million will be invested in order to support the new group and other recommendations in the report. SGI will provide $4.9 million directly to fund the additional of�icers and an additional $1 million will come from the Ministry of Justice to address recommendations.

The government has committed to addressing the safety needs of the Saskatchewan people, the proposed plan that enacts the recommendations of the Committee ensures the continued safety of the

province’s residents.

The Committee’s recommendations also include ensuring RCMP resources and personnel are used effectively in rural areas; reviewing legislation to allow municipalities to jointly administer alternative policing programs; providing more funding for on-reserve programming and services; and other measures.

The recommendations are the result of consultations the Committee conducted beginning in November 2016. As part of these consultations, the Committee toured 10 communities over 12 days and met with 58 stakehold-

ers. Written submissions were also accepted and reviewed by the Committee.

“The Committee heard several issues on crime in rural and urban areas, the absence of police visibility in rural areas was a main concern,” Committee Chair Herb Cox said. “We are very pleased with the response being taken to address the recommendations of the committee.”

The Ministry of Justice will be working closely with other ministries and agencies involved to ensure the Protection and Response Team is fully staffed before the end of this �iscal year.
