Wawota Heritage Days set for August long

PUZZLE SOLUTIONS

By Kelly Running Wawota ‘150’ Heritage Days is set for Aug. 4-6 in the Pipestone Valley just north of town. Celebrating Canada’s 150th, the annual Heritage Days has grown over the years and will be bringing back the Manitoba Ranch Rodeo Association sanctioned rodeo again after a very successful event held last year, which garnered the 2016 MRRA Rodeo of the Year award. A town-wide parade will kick off the event at 2 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 4, which will be followed by the opening ceremonies of the rodeo and a Calcutta held to pick your favourites to win. The rodeo will get under way at 4 p.m. and is expected to last until 8 p.m. During this time kids’ activities, an Old West photo booth for a “freewill donation” to the Museum, and food vendors will all be present, while at 5 p.m. a Roast Beef Supper will be served with proceeds going towards a new Community Camp

Kitchen in Wawota’s Centennial Park. The Roast Beef Supper is set for $10 or $12 with a drink. The action and excitement will continue into the evening with a Wawota Has Talent Show, Traditional Drumming, as well as �ireworks and a cabaret held at the beer gardens. The next day will see the Legion host a pancake breakfast at 8 a.m.; followed by the Saturday Calcutta at 9:30 a.m. Day two of rodeo action will start up at 10 a.m. During the rodeo action Laser Tag will start at 11 a.m., while musical entertainment, kids’ activities, photo booth, pie baking and pie eating contests, food vendors, and the beer gardens will open at 1 p.m. “You don’t want to miss the Second Annual Pie Eating Contest at the Ranch Rodeo!” The committee writes in News-inFive. “Will Brad Rutten keep the record set last year or will he be over-

thrown by a new champion?” “Tickets will be for sale all day Friday and Saturday on the rodeo grounds - $1 per ticket. Enter your name or someone else’s! Three lucky contestants will be drawn from the pool of ticket holders and will have the chance to win the $50 prize!” For those wanting to enter the pie baking contest, pies need to be at the Pipestone Valley for 9 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 5. There will be a cash prize of $25 each for Best Cream Pie, Best Fruit Pie, and a Blue Ribbon for the Best Overall Pie. All pies will be auctioned off once the winners are determined. Artist Jason Sylvestre, a cartoonist and graphic artist, will be present. He is the illustrator for, Carson Demmans’ bestsellers “You Might Be From Saskatchewan If ” and “Strange Saskatchewan.” Sylvestre will have copies of these books for sale and you can

Organizer Andy Robertson says the accessibility of Manor’s PBR competition is an added attraction for rodeo fans. “You’re right on top of it as a spectator,” says Robertson. “You can really see it and that makes it different from a big fair event.”

The Bulls Are Back! Manor hosted the community’s 38th annual Fun Daze celebration on Saturday, July 22. The day centered around the evening’s Professional Bull Riding Event - a two round format with over 30 professional bull riders from Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Australia and New Zealand. The winner of the 2017 event buckle is Lachlan Richardson of Gresford, New South Wales, Australia. Bull rider Edgar Durazo (not pictured) of Moctezuma Sonora, Mexico won the $1,000 bonus round.

Rules of Golf

Rule 25-1c/3 Ball Played in Ground Under Repair Area Lost in Same Area By Golf Saskatchewan QUESTION: In the diagram above, a player’s tee shot comes to rest at point A in a large area of ground under repair. He/She makes a stroke at his/her ball from within ground repair. He/She advances the ball to point B, which is still in the ground under repair, and the ball never crossed the outermost limits of the ground under repair. The ball cannot be found. What is the ruling?

ANSWER: The player may drop a ball outside the ground under repair area, without penalty, as provided in Rule 25-1c and make his third stroke. In this case, the reference point is where the ball last crossed the outermost limits of the ground under repair with the player’s tee shot (point C). Alternatively, the player may, under penalty of one stroke, drop a ball in the ground under repair as near as possible at the spot from which his original ball was lasted played

Wednesday, August 2, 2017

(point A) under Rule 27-1 and make his/her fourth stroke. Having dropped a ball under Rule 27-1, if the player then has interference from the ground under repair, he may take relief under Rule 25-1b without further penalty. Happy gol�ing and remember the Rules of Golf Matter

White Bear Lake Golf Course remains in excellent condition. As one of Saskatchewan’s �inest 18-hole championship layouts, its scenic beauty only adds to the quality. “There’s been a lot of tourism in the area and we always look forward to see those who stop in here to golf,” Petker added. Men’s Night every Wednesday is a popular outing and Gord Petker - golf pro at White Bear - invites you to join in the fun and competition.

This includes options of individual, semi-private, or group lessons – call the pro shop today to �ind out more: 306-577-4902.

LEKO’S CONSERVATION CORNER By Ministry of Environment conservation ofﬁcer Lindsey Leko

Putting down a wild animal Conservation of�icers are known as protectors of wildlife and the environment, so the mere thought of an of�icer putting down a wild animal doesn’t make sense to some people. I can tell you from years of experience, having two young kids and hearing all the public comments, that euthanizing an animal is one of the most dif�icult decisions we have to make. One of my old bosses had to make a decision a number of years ago to shoot a bear near Regina. He told me that his decision and the public outcry lasted for months. He would be standing in line at a store and someone would come over to him and chastise him for destroying the bear. It was not a fun time for him, and it is not a decision that we take lightly or for granted. This topic is not unique to Saskatchewan. Every year, there are many different instances where wild animals have to be euthanized for different reasons throughout Canada. Earlier this year, of�icers in Saskatoon tranquilized a black bear. The bear did not respond well to the reversal drugs and of�icers had to euthanize the animal. Many were upset with the fall that the bear took and blamed this for its demise rather than the reversal drug. There is always a risk when an animal is tranquilized. It was not an easy decision to put the bear down. There are daily situations where wild animals interact with humans. I do not see this as a fault of the wild animal. Over the years, we have moved into habitat that they once occupied, and in some cases we have had a negative in�luence on their behaviour through interactions and by providing unnatural food sources, such as garbage or pet food. This interaction reduces the natural fear that wild animals have of humans, which creates public safety problems. Wild animals that frequent cities may be searching for food, space,

water or even their own territory. There are no signs on the perimeter of Regina, Saskatoon, or Melville that say “Humans Live Here… Wild Animals Keep Out.” I know that there are many individuals who believe strongly that every animal has a right to live, just as people do. So I am going to try and provide some insights into the decision-making process to euthanize an animal, how it relates to animal welfare and public safety, and common questions we get after we make that decision. Q: Why not tranquilize the animal and relocate it, or take it to a zoo? Every situation is different. It really depends on the type of wildlife you are dealing with, where the animal shows up, its proximity to natural habitat, has it been habituated or lost its natural fear of humans and is the animal a public safety issue. There are a lot of variables that need to be taken into consideration when assessing these situations. When it comes to large predators such as black bears or cougars, the challenge is that the animal had to be tranquilized because it became a problem. That then leads to moving the problem to another area. In the case of habituation, the animal’s behaviour will not change. It will simply �ind a new place to start causing issues. This is where public safety comes into play. There are instances where the only alternative is to euthanize the animal. I would hate to immobilize a cougar and release it where we think it is safe, only to have that cougar attack a child, or livestock, because we relocated it to a new area. In some instances, relocation can work, but in others, it is not a viable alternative. It’s de�initely always an option and every factor is considered before we relocate an animal. We must ensure what we are doing is best for that animal and sometimes releasing it is not the greatest option.

As for �inding them a new home, zoos don’t want animals such as bears, cougars, deer, elk or moose. Animals from the wild do not necessarily do well in captivity. Zoos are worried about disease, parasites and other issues. On top of that, these species are abundant in our zoos and in our eco-system. The need is just not there. Q: Why don’t you take injured animals to a vet? The reality is that we do not have the funding or the manpower to take every injured deer, duck or owl to a vet for examination. The province does not have an animal hospital with trained technicians available to deal with all injured wild animal calls. An average examination for any animal at a vet would be around $80. Once the examination is complete, then the treatment process begins, which is even more money. Many vets don’t have the ability or the resources available to treat every animal that comes in and it is usually euthanized in the end. Q: Why not take it to an animal rehabilitator? Again, it is cost prohibitive. There are very few quali�ied and equipped wildlife rehabilitators in the province. Orphaned wildlife is one thing, but dealing with an injured animal is different, as they require treatment and possibly antibiotics, x-rays and long term care. The end goal is the animal healing and being released back into the wild with mini-

mal human imprint on it. Q: Can I provide medical care and treatment for an animal? No. Possession of captive wildlife without a permit is an offence. People who are issued permits have the necessary credentials and facilities and follow strict guidelines around release standards. There are licensed facilities in Saskatchewan so if you have an injured animal, we ask that you contact our of�ices so that we can put you in touch with a quali�ied and licensed rehabilitator rather than giving it to someone who likes animals, but doesn’t have the experience or facilities required to do the job properly. Q: In the occurrence of the bear falling out of the tree, why did you not use a net? Bears and cougars often climb trees to avoid humans or dogs. Tranquilizing a bear in a tree is a safe location as opposed to anywhere else. Sometimes once the drug is delivered, the animal will run away and could become a danger to the surrounding public. In a tree, you know where the animal is at all times. I wear two hats while working. One as a conservation of�icer, and one as a member of the Weyburn Fire Department with more than 18 years of experience. Now that you know this, when was the last time you saw a �ireman using a life net to catch someone jumping out of a third story window? The answer is…a long

a good group of doctors and techs here and we have purchased a drug that they use to euthanize animals that we bring in. They do this for us free of charge and I am grateful for that. Q: Do you shoot orphaned wildlife? Once again, I can only speak for myself. I cannot remember a time where I have done this. It is not a normal practice for Saskatchewan conservation of�icers to do this as there are wildlife rehabilitators who may be able to assist. However, if we found a totally habituated bear, deer, or other large hoofed mammal, the decision to dispatch it would be considered as the animal is no longer wild and probably does not know how to look after itself in the wild. This means that it would not know how to feed, hide or maintain the natural fear of humans that it should have. Remember that these animals are wild by nature. That loving cute fawn will grow into a 200pound buck with antlers and a bad attitude once the rut starts. Having any deer come running up to your vehicle to greet you is not a good sign for its survival. I would much rather leave the animal for Mother Nature to take care of rather, than interfering myself. Until next time, keep your licence handy and your rod tip up!

time ago; they are not used anymore. The nets didn’t work and resulted in serious injuries to the �ire�ighters, as well as the victim. How many people do you think it would take to hold a net to successfully catch a 300-pound bear falling out of a tree 20 feet high? This becomes a serious safety issue in having personnel in close proximity to the bear and the potential of the tranquilizer not working and the bear becoming angry and aggressive. A net, trampoline or ladder is not a viable option to getting a sedated bear or cougar out of a tree. Q: What considerations does an of�icer make when euthanizing an animal? Wildlife injured by motor vehicles are usually euthanized because, aside from the visual injuries like broken limbs, we cannot see any internal damage the accident has caused to the animal. I cannot imagine the pain and agony the animal is in when we arrive and I honestly feel that we are doing it a favour. It is something that I do not enjoy. We also want to make sure that we do not have an audience when we euthanize an animal, as this can be traumatic to some. In Weyburn, we sometimes take animals to the local vet for examination.

Estevan Tower Wolves Capture Harbourne Memorial Trophy By Lynne Bell The Estevan Tower Wolves captured the Harbourne Memorial Trophy after a hard-fought 6-5 victory over the Oxbow Chiefs at Kenosee Ball Park, Sunday, July 30. The Saskota League teams - the Estevan Tower Wolves, the Oxbow Chiefs, the Carlyle Cardinals, the Redvers A’s, the Arcola Threshers, the Kenosee Cubs, the Carnduff Astros, the Wawota Pats, the Windthorst Pirates and the Southeast Fireballs all vied for the championship during three days of competition, July 28-30. The Harbourne Trophy tops off the Saskota Baseball League’s 2017 season and Estevan team captain Jolan Lingelbach says: “It was a lot of hard work by both teams. Our guys battled through it to win.” “There wasn’t a whole lot of scoring going on, but we fought hard. It was a great weekend.” Saskota Baseball League President David Lemieux agrees. “Congratulations to Estevan. It was a great �inal between Estevan and Oxbow and it was an exciting �inal right to the end – and you really can’t ask for more than that.” The three-day tournament saw the reiging Harbourne champs - the Carlyle Cardinals - losing out in the semi-�inals to Estevan in a 9-6 upset. Runner-up team Oxbow defeated the Redvers A’s in the semi-�inals, 14-10. League president Lemieux is also the coach of the Cardinals and said of the teams �inal game: “Chris Keating of Estevan

It’s no surprise they were in the �inal.” As League president, Lemieux says that in addition to a Harbourne Championship which garnered great fan attendance, he is also pleased with the season as a whole. “The season went very well,” he says. “The weather was very cooperative and so the guys didn’t have to scramble to make up games. The fans have

10 foods to try camping If you’re in an area that isn’t affected by �ire bans, then you might as well try a few new recipes. 1. Cinnamon Roll-ups: Bring crescent dough with you, add some cinnamon sugar, and wrap around a skewer to bake over the �ire. 2. While you have the crescent dough out, you might as well wrap it around a hot dog, and cook on a stick over the �ire for a camp style pigs in a blanket. 3. If you’re cooking something else for supper, but a crescent roll would go well with it, then simply wrap the uncooked crescent roll around a stick and bake over the �ire. 4. Boil in the bag omelettes: get a pot of water boiling, then take a Ziploc bag and add your desired ingredients. Poach in the bag, in the boiling water for a delicious treat. 5. Taking spices with you? Store them in old Tic Tac boxes or pill organizers. 6. Coffee: In need of a cup of coffee in the morning, make coffee teabags before you go with coffee grounds, a coffee �ilter, and cinch up the top with un�lavoured dental �loss. Toss into boiling water and enjoy once it’s cooled down. 7. Orange peel baking: Put premixed muf�in batter in a sealed plastic bag to bring with you. Hollow out orange halves and pipe the muf�in batter into one half of the orange peel, toss in some berries, then place the other half of the orange on top. Place on tin foil and onto hot coals to bake. 8. Banana Boat: Slice a banana lengthwise, but not all the way through. Once you have the opening cut �ill it with marshmallows, chocolate chips, and broken up graham crackers. Wrap in tinfoil and toss onto hot coals – not direct �lames – once all the insides are melted, let it cool off a bit, and enjoy a sweet treat. 9. You can essentially make any meal before hand and simply ensure it is fully cooked, then simply warm it next to the �ire or on a camp stove. 10. A bush pie: You’ll need a special tool for this one – a cast iron sandwich maker – butter the outsides of two pieces of bread, as though you were making a grilled cheese and place buttered sides down on each side of the sandwich maker. Fillings… anything you can think of! From pizza – sauce, pepperoni, and cheese – to pies – open up a can of pie �illing – to breakfast – make the bread like a bowl by pressing it down, add an egg, ham, and cheese – and place in the �ire to cook, turning it over on occasion. The �illings are endless on this one… Nutella and jam, chocolate and marshmallows, cheese and ham, etc…

Given our hot, dry temperatures in the area this summer, it’s reassuring that our volunteer firefighters are taking the time out of their lives to make sure they are prepared. On Sunday, July 23, the Village of Kenosee Lake Fire Department spent the hot day in training. Here they are by the lake practicing with the high powered hoses on the new fire truck, acquired last year by the volunteer fire department.

Headed to the beach? Here are 12 beach going essentials 12 beach going essentials 1. A beach bag: a generously sized bag, which can carry everything you need. Something lightweight and water resistant is ideal, but ultimately you simply need something to pack everything in. 2. Sun screen: use liberally, you can never be too safe in the sun. 3. Sun screen lip balm: If there’s one thing that hurts to burn, it’s your lips. Pack a sun screen lip balm to keep them protected in the weather. 4. Beach hat: sun protection is important whether you like the wide brimmed or ball cap, pack a hat.

5. Sunglasses: sunnies are a quintessential outdoors requirement when you’re headed out for fun in the sun. Remember to pack a pair that protects against UVA and UVB rays. 6. Water resistant pouch/Ziploc plastic bag: Nowadays everyone has their cell phone with them all the time whether it’s being used to text, Snapchat, make a call, listen to music, or search out the answer to an argument, keep it safe by placing it in a water resistant pouch or container. 7. Mobile power bank and cell phone charging cord: Playing a bit of music at the beach, whether

through headphones or a Bluetooth speaker, bringing along a little extra power doesn’t hurt to ensure the tunes and that your phone is charged for the ride home. 8. Reading material: bring along a book or magazine, and enjoy some time in the sun with a good read. Whether you’re tying into a long book, have found an anthology of short stories, or have taken to magazine articles; enjoy the peacefulness of the beach. 9. Fitted sheet: Place your heavier items in each corner of the �itted sheet to stretch it out and keep it from moving as you �lip

around on it and keep the majority of sand off of it that would otherwise be kicked on. 10. Baby powder: baby powder will removed sand from skin through removing moisture, which allows the sand to fall from you. 11. Towel: for drying off after a swim in the lake… and before reapplying more sunscreen. 12. Water: Toss in a bottle or two of water, you’ll get thirsty and there’s nothing quite like water to quench your thirst. Bonus – 13. If you have children make sure to bring some beach toys and lifejacket to ensure a fun, safe trip to the beach.
