The event, a major fundraiser for Warman s new multi-purpose sports and cultural facility, is slated for Warman High School on Thursday, August 25.

Trevor Linden was drafted second overall by the Vancouver Canucks in the first round NHL draft in 1988. A native of Medicine Hat, Alberta, Linden was named the captain of the Canucks at the age of 21, making him one of the youngest captains in NHL history up to that point.

In 1994, he captained the Canucks to within one game of winning the Stanley Cup, earning the nickname Captain Canuck.

Linden played for the New York Islanders, Montreal Canadiens and Washington Capitals as well as the Canucks in the NHL. Prior to joining the major league, he helped the Medicine Hat Tigers of the WHL

Residents fight plans to allow dogs off-leash Over 260 acres of Chief Whitecap Park under consideration by council

Council threatens to fire long-time administrator

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A figurative bombshell was dropped at the RM of Corman Park council meeting on Monday, July 25 when a motion to immediately dismiss the RM s administrator was made.

The motion, which was eventually defeated, was made by Division 6 councilor Irene Pilka and came without warning shortly after council reconvened for its afternoon session. During a discussion on routine business, Councilor Pilka announced her intention to make a motion to fire Tammy Knuttila, the RM Administrator, for alleged insubordination.

Knuttila has been the administrator at Corman Park since 2000, and was assistant administrator at the RM for many years prior to that. Her professional credentials and conduct in her duties has consistently received high praise from her colleagues and past councils.

Immediately after Pilka put forward her resolution, the council moved to an incamera session. Personnel issues are normally discussed in closed meetings where the public and press are excluded.

The in-camera session lasted approximately 15 minutes.

When the meeting was again opened up to the press, Knuttila was no longer present in the council chambers.

Six councilors ‒ Irene Pilka, John Rempel, Bill Dyck, Wendy Trask, Mel Henry, and Len Kasahoff ‒ voted in favour of dismissing Knutilla.

Four councilors voted against the dismissal, including Perry Ulrich, Craig Riddell, Lynne Samson and John Germs. Two councilors ‒ Joe Kasahoff and Joanne Janzen ‒ abstained from the vote. The abstentions were effectively counted as negative votes, so the final vote was tied at 6 in favour and 6 opposed. Without a clear majority, the motion failed to pass.

While Knuttila is still in the position of Administrator at the RM of Corman Park, she may be on leave from the office for an indeterminate time.

Councilor Lynne Samson expressed shock that such a motion could come out of the blue and questioned the grounds for dismissal. This is not the way these things are done, she said. What s going on here?

Councilor Joe Kasahoff said he was abstaining from the vote because he didn t Continued on Page 22 Please see ADMINISTRATOR

City of Saskatoon. It borders the South Saskatchewan River in the RM of Corman Park about half a mile from the city s southern boundary, The total area of the park is 351.4 acres, and the proposed Master Plan designates 261.8 acres of that as an off-leash area for dogs.

Chief Whitecap Park has been used as an unofficial or de facto off-leash area for many years, and the proposal by the City of Saskatoon for a change in the discretionary use essentially legitimizes these activities.

But the proposal has critics on both sides of the issue.

While most people agree that the park needs to be retained in as natural a state as possible to safeguard the beauty of the riverbank and the nearby floodplain, they have different opinions on what activities should be allowed.

An advocacy group for offleash dog owners known as the Recreational Off-Leash Organization (ROLO), opposes any move to restrict off-leash dogs from any portion of the park.

Meanwhile, residents of Corman Park who live in the vicinity of Chief Whitecap Park say off-leash dogs have taken over the entire area and that other park users are intimidated and endangered by the increase in dogs running at large.

A group known as The Friends of Chief Whitecap Park is campaigning to limit the extent of off-leash areas.

The City of Saskatoon s master plan for Chief Whitecap Park proclaims the area has something for everyone and notes the large land area offers many benefits to a variety of people.

The city s plan calls for enhancing bike paths, roadways and parking facilities as well as designating a portion of land

(51.4 acres) in the southern end of the park as an interpretive area which would highlight the cultural, historical and natural features of the park. No animals would be allowed in this area with the exception of a path where dogs would have to be on-leash.

In 2005, Saskatoon City Council recommended that Chief Whitecap Park be designated as a public space where dog owners are permitted to have their dogs off-leash. The RM of Corman Park currently has a bylaw on the books, passed in 1996, which states that no dog shall run at large on property that does not belong to the dog-owner. However, the bylaw has not been enforced in Chief Whitecap Park.

Over the past several years, the number of off-leash dog owners using the park has in-

creased substantially.

OFF-LEASH AREAS TOO BIG Gary and Linda Budd are residents of Birchwood Heights, an acreage subdivision in the RM of Corman Park near Chief Whitecap Park. The couple purchased their property in the early 1970s, and for many years they were able to enjoy the natural beauty of the park.

But over the last five years, that s all changed, according to Gary Budd.

Chief Whitecap Park should remain a public park, Budd says. The fact that the park is an unknown treasure is possibly the main reason there has not been an outcry against turning the majority of this park into a permanent dogpark. A dog-park with many offleash dogs running loose is just not compatible for use by other people or natural wildlife.

Budd said the impending decision by the RM council on whether to allow the city s discretionary use application is serious. This is a huge decision on one of the most beautiful natural parks in our area, he noted.

It s ironic that even though the park has become more popular in the last five years, you don t see schoolchildren coming out here on field trips anymore. You don t see families coming out here for picnics or to enjoy the riverbank, you don t see horseback riders, joggers and cyclists either. The only people we ve seen out here in the past few years are people with off-leash dogs.

Legitimizing off-leash areas will aggravate the problem, according to Budd. It is no longer compatible to have a pub-

Flood control programs sought Communities join SUMA, SARM in lobbying province

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

U

rban municipalities in North Corman Park are asking the provincial government for help to establish permanent ood mitigation and water control measures.

At a meeting of Martensville City Council on Tuesday, July 19, a resolution was passed calling on the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) to lobby the province to bring back the Urban Flood Control Assistance program and the Rural Water Control Assistance program, and also to expand the scope of both programs.

The programs were implemented in 2010 by the province to help municipalities respond to emergency ooding situations.

The Town of Warman and the RM of Corman Park have adopted similar resolutions.

The City of Martensville will be working with neighbouring municipalities, including Warman, Dalmeny, Osler and Corman Park in an effort to convince the province to cough up funds for permanent drainage works to prevent ooding in the future.

According to Martensville Mayor Gordon Rutten, the programs implemented last year by the province provide a good starting point.

We experienced serious ooding because of record rainfalls in 2004, 2007, 2010 and again this year, said Rutten. This situation means we can t just consider these situations to be one in 50 year or one in 100 year events. We need to commence permanent ood mitigation work as quickly as possible to ensure this doesn t happen again in 2012.

The motion adopted by the city council notes that municipalities, by themselves, don t have sufďŹ cient funding to handle the expenses incurred due to this unusual and severe weather.

And while the council acknowledges the province s Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Program this spring was helpful, it only deals with emergency expenses, and doesn t address any perma-

nent solutions for individual municipality or joint municipal ood mitigation projects.

Earlier this spring, provincial funding under the Emergency Flood Damage Reduction Program was awarded to Warman, Dalmeny, Martnesivlle, Osler and Hepburn to assist with clearing ditches and culverts, excavations, pumping and other works.

The work carried out under that program helped ease the threat of ooding in the communities.

A background paper prepared by the Saskatchewan

Watershed Authority on ood control in North Corman Park shows there are three distinct watersheds in the area. While the area is quite level and the dividing line between watersheds is indistinct, the historical pattern of water ow remains despite the buildup of residences and roads over the past several decades.

The background paper notes that a prolonged wet cycle has caused water to accumulate in the area, causing ooding issues which were particularly bad this past spring.

Work continues on twinning of Highway 11 north of Rosthern Repairing Highway 39, along with the grading and repaving of other roads, are just some of the new construction projects for this week s update as crews and contractors work to keep motorist moving on Saskatchewan s highway system.

Whether it s capital construction to upgrade the transportation system or repairs to existing highways and bridges, we appreciate the patience and understanding of all motorists as we work through the construction season, Highways and Infrastructure Minister Jim Reiter said. All travelers should remember to please obey all flag persons, electronic message boards relating to road work or potential detours and slow to 60 km/hr when passing highway workers and equipment in the Orange Zone.

As many motorists may be aware, repairs began on Wednesday on the Highway

Fury to hold golf tournament

39 bridge over the Souris River southeast of Estevan, which closed Highway 39 from it junction with Highway 18 to the Canada-U.S. border. These repairs are expected to be completed by early August.

Other new road activity highlighted for this update includes seal coating on Highway 3 near Melfort; repaving on Highway 5 near Invermay and Highway 9 near Hudson Bay; micro surfacing on Highway 10 east of Yorkton and near Lorlie; grading as part of the Highway 11 twinning initiative between Prince Albert

and Saskatoon; along with seal coating expected later this month on Highway 106 north of Smeaton and near Big Sandy Lake.

Construction work continues on Highway 11 from north of Rosthern to south of Duck Lake (Louis Riel Trail),.

This work is part of an ongoing twinning project between Prince Albert and Saskatoon .

The estimated cost of the project is $12.6 million.

Grading on this portion of Highway 11 twinning began the week of July 18, 2011.

Tree clearing began earlier in

The project consists of about 9 km of grading and paving work on new north-

bound lanes from about 5 km north of Rosthern to south of Duck Lake. Motorists should be aware of blowing dust Por-

tions of the newly-twinned highway are expected to be open to traffic this year and next.

Lobbyists have shifted to the right

VIEWPOINT

No room for spliced words Everywhere a person looks these days, companies and businesses are putting their best individual foot forward when it comes to operating ethically. Partly out of need, partly out of tradition.

But in politics, sadly it would seem, the word ethical is about as common as finding a robin turning down an early morning worm.

The latest incident to plague our political system came about a couple of weeks ago when the provincial NDP launched a new radio campaign slamming the Brad Wall government for not caring about working families. The commercial included Wall saying I don t care...they are going back to work in response to the narrator s statement that the provincial government abandoned the people of Saskatchewan in the face of the rising cost of living.

The commercial would have been totally acceptable had Wall actually spoke the words as they were presented.

The NDP claim the ad agency that put together the radio spot took liberties in the creative department and spliced together Wall s words. The line I don t care came late in a scrum with reporters and was a response to how the premier felt about some unions publicly chastising him and his government. The words They are going back to work came much earlier in the same address to reporters and was in response to the fact workers with the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation had walked off the job just as the devastating floods had hit the southeastern part of the province.

What made the whole episode stink even worse was the NDP s casual dismissal of the spliced quotes. To say it isn t a big deal to take someone s words and put them together is unconscionable. If this is the way the official opposition conducts business it won t be in business for long.

To its credit the commercial has been pulled from the airwaves but the damage has been done. Premier Wall brushed it off but the voters of this province didn t.

Ethics in the media are a sticking point for some people. The CBC has been labelled as left-wing while Sun TV is obviously right-wing in its views and programming. But, neither of those media monsters stoop as low as splicing together words for a sound bite to make someone or something look evil.

Consumers ‒ aka the electorate ‒ are too intelligent to be taken advantage of. Not only are Saskatchewanians smarter now compared to any other time in history, they are much more demanding when it comes to politics. And, for this pitiful breakdown in thinking, the NDP not only owe the premier an apology but also each and every resident of Saskatchewan.

A friend of mine got me thinking about how dramatically lobbying has shifted in Saskatchewan.

At issue was an inquiry he had received from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation about becoming a CTF member for its annual fee of $150. As a small businessman, he had been a member of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) and supported his local Chamber of Commerce. Essentially, he was asking if there was any reason to join another lobbying group that seemed to share a similar rightof-centre perspective.

Admittedly, the CTF would take umbrage at any accusation that it is partisans in its work. Of the three, it certainly seems less directly connected to the Saskatchewan Party government. That said, it also seems that the CTF has been less critical of the Sask. Party administration (even when its been raising debt, spending big and handing out hefty wage settlements to unions like the Saskatchewan Union of Nurses) than it was of the former NDP administration.

Of course, both the CFIB and Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce also insist they, too, are removed from the partisan fray. However, if you look at the principal messages from the CFIB _ and even the close connection between the organizations past and present principals_ it would lead one to conclude it s been significantly more supportive of the Sask. Party than critical. The same can be said at the chamber, whose recent On Track advertising campaign that nicely buttresses the Sask. Party s own messaging in the run up to the Nov. 7 vote.

But the point here isn t that lobbying organizations aren t quite as critical of governments they generally support (hardly news) or that they re already right-of-centre viewpoint may have shifted even further right. (Again, this is something less than shocking.)

My conversation with my business friend that had been solicited by the CTF morphed into a discussion about the roll of such lobby groups when he asked an intriguing question: What s happen to govern-

MURRAY MANDRYK Provincial Politics

ment lobbyists on the left?

It s an intriguing question and one that actually pre-dates current political situation so favourable to Premier Brad Wall s administration. Long before the arrival of the Sask. Party in 2007, the strongest voices of the left had fallen silent or morphed into something else.

Consider the changes. Where the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool was less than two decades ago the strongest voice in Saskatchewan advocating a co-operative view and even using its publication the Western Producer to occasional do so, we now see Viterra that hardly shares the agenda.

That leaves the highly marginalized National Farmers Union as the left voice of agriculture ‒ a group that has never been especially influential here.

It wasn t so long that the Wheat

Pool view was buttressed by that of the Federated Co-ops, the co-operative movement and ‒ to a lesser extend ‒ the Credit Unions. But these days the Co-ops that are busy selling their Darian Durant Darios and Weston Dressler All-Dressler chips are too busy quietly making money these days to be politically active.

Gone is that co-operative view ‒ or it s at least you re less likely to hear it. Adding to the voice of the right-wing lobbyist is the rise in private talk radio in the last decade or so. While its news remains relatively unbiased, the same can t be said for its personalities who rail against the left and promote the government even more aggressively than the government does.

Of course, Saskatchewan labour remains loudly and aggressively opposed to this government. But because labour has taken on the role of the Sask. Party s political adversary, it s hardly even attempting to influence public opinion these days.

Any balance between right and left lobbyists has clearly shifted to the right.

Reader Opinions Premier stood up for potash, now he needs to stand up for the wheat board Dear Premier Wall, I just recently heard your radio ad in which you said that you were the person to look to to stand up for the people of Saskatchewan, to do what is necessary to defend our interests against the rest of Canada and the world.

You mentioned your admirable (albeit eleventh hour) stand on potash as an example. Shortly thereafter I heard a report of your government s support of Gerry Ritz s plan to change the Canadian Wheat Board Act. I challenge you to live up to your radio promise and stand up for your people on the Canadian Wheat Board debate as well. It s no less important to us than our potash.

The federal government, driven

on by Stephen Harper, is trying to destroy the CWB for purely ideological reasons because there is no economic reason to end the CWB. Credible, unbiased economists from prairie universities put the value of the CWB in the neighborhood of a billion dollars generated for farmers per year.

Anti-board economic studies in contrast, have been soundly discredited.

There is no democratic reason to end the CWB. The regular producer elections elect a solid and consistent majority of pro-board candidates (only a scant 31 votes prevented a clean sweep last round). There is a majority of board supporters even among the farmers who voted Conservative in the last election. Farmers already control the CWB and can www.ccgazette.ca

do with it whatever they wish. To say that it must be changed by 166 federal MPs to accommodate the majority of farmers wishes is a lie.

There is no issue of rights and freedoms, this is an invention. If the choice of the majority of producers must be overwritten to allow the freedom and choice of the minority, then all citizens would be free not to wear a seatbelt or free to drive their private vehicle in any manner they choose on public roads; professional (and we should note non-voluntary) associations of doctors and lawyers would have no authority to enforce standards on their members. The freedom argument is a moot point in any case, as farmers have a number of Producer Payment Options to

take advantage of so that they can price and receive payment for their grain whenever they choose while the physical product still stays in the pool to maintain the single desk marketing advantage.

We know that the forced Conservative choice means the end of the board and all its benefits. To say it can exist in a privately controlled market is ridiculous. We know this logically because the single desk price advantage of the board will be gone, competitors with infrastructure in the system will make sound business decisions to put the grain handling interests of their shareholders ahead of those of the board, and since pooled prices are only attractive in declining markets, in profitable years most

grain will go to the grain companies and in tight years high volumes and low or negative margins will make the board will scramble to cover costs. We also know this historically because the Australian Wheat Board, which even with its own considerable infrastructure, only lasted a couple of years after deregulation. Even former Agriculture Minister Chuck Strahl s own task force stated that the CWB cannot survive if it is not a single desk marketer.

Again I challenge you Mr. Premier, on economic, democratic, and moral grounds, to stand up for your citizens and help us defend our board.

RM OF CORMAN PARK

Electoral boundary referendum slated for October

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

A referendum on changing electoral boundaries and reducing the number of electoral divisions within the RM of Corman Park will be held this fall.

The referendum will likely be held in conjunction with elections for councilors representing even-numbered divisions within the RM. That election is scheduled for October 25.

A petition calling for the referendum, which contained 1548 signatures of eligible RM ratepayers, was submitted to the RM office on June 27. Under Section 136 of the provincial Municipal Act, the RM council is obliged to hold the referendum before the end of the calendar year.

Gary Derenoski, one of the organizers of the petition drive, said the aim of the electoral boundary change is to create greater equality for voters throughout the RM. In a presentation to the Corman Park council meeting on Monday, July 25, Derenoski noted there is currently a wide discrepancy in the number of voters residing in each division. He added changing the electoral boundaries would ensure that each division has approximately the same number of ratepayers, so that votes carry equal weight.

There are 2006 people in Division 2, while Division 11 has only 208, Derenoski said. Divisions 4,5,9,10 and 11 collectively have a population of 2100, only 100 more than Division 2. That s not democracy. A basic principle of democracy is one person, one vote, and all votes should be equal.

The petition also calls for a reduction in the number of electoral divisions from 11 to 8. Derenoski said the RM is over-governed and suggested reducing the number of councilors will result in savings for ratepayers. He also noted the electoral boundaries issue has come up numerous times at the council table over the past twenty years.

The visitors gallery in the RM council chambers was packed to overflowing during the morning session when the referendum issue was discussed. Approximately 50 spectators, both for and against the boundary changes, turned out to watch the proceedings. After Derenoski s presentation, council voted to accept the petition, noting that the RM administration staff had verified all the signatures.

Division 1 councilor Perry Ulrich urged council to adopt the boundary changes as outlined in the petition, and send a request to the Minister of Municipal Affairs to implement the changes at the earliest opportunity. If the electoral boundaries are changed prior to the October election, that would save the RM about $10,000 to $15,000, Ulrich said.

But other councilors expressed concerns. Division 7 councilor Joanne Janzen said while she sympathizes with the push to even up the representation as far as population goes, she said reducing the number of councilors is misguided.

We have more responsi-

bilities than ever, and we re busier than ever, she stated.

We have increased our staff to help handle the workload. I have a great deal of difficulty trying to comprehend how reducing the number of councilors will be more beneficial to our ratepayers. If I can t agree with part of this proposal, it s difficult to agree with the whole thing.

Reeve Mel Henry also said he didn t see any advantage in

reducing the number of councilors, but is not as concerned about the proposed redistribution of boundaries. He suggested the petition should be sent to the RM s legal counsel to ensure proper steps are taken for a referendum to be held in conjunction with the October election.

We ll get a legal opinion, set the date for the referendum, and start advertising it, Henry said, adding

Rhodes Raspberries & Black Currants

U-Pick

the response from the lawyer should be ready for the next RM council meeting, scheduled for August 8.

A motion by Division 1 Councilor Perry Ulrich to adopt the proposed boundary changes contained in the petition was defeated at the meeting.

GEMS PROVINCIAL CHAMPS Warman brings the big bats in total domination at Intermediate A fastball championship

his time around, they weren t going to let anybody stop them. The Warman Gems rolled over the opposition to capture their first-ever Saskatchewan Men s Intermediate A fastball championship last weekend at Moose Jaw s historic Memorial Field.

The Gems polished off the Moose Jaw Canadians 9-1 in the semi-final on Sunday, July 24 to advance to the championship game against the Regina Gold. The Gems won the final 7-3 after jumping out to a 6-0 lead early in the game, and held on to stave off a sixth-inning Regina rally.

ter.

That game against Fleming was the biggest game of the tournament for us, said Gems manager Darwin Davis after the final win. It was definitely the outcome we were shooting for, because we had something to prove to them from last year. Getting a chance to play Fleming again was a big incentive for us, and our goal was to knock them

out early. After that we didn t really care who we played.

Taylor Schaan said the nohitter against the Fleming Jets was a bonus, but his goal was to just stay relaxed and take it one pitch at a time.

They re a good team, Schaan said. They re the defending champs, and our guys just came out to play hard. We were ready for them.

Schaan shared the pitch-

ing duties with Terry Peppler and Carmen Baier, and Davis said all three pitchers were sharp.

The pitching was excellent through the whole tournament, he said. We didn t have to worry about who we put into the game.

A combination of strong pitching, sharp defense and aggressive hitting propelled the Gems to victory, usually

by large margins. Only the opening game Friday night against Moose Jaw Remax was close, as the Warman squad squeaked by with a 1312 win. After that, the margins of victory were huge ‒ 19-1 over the Dry Creek Penguins and 10-0 over the Fleming Sr. Jets.

Memorial Field in Moose Jaw has a shallower field than most fastball parks, so when a team s bats are hot, the home runs are going to come in bunches. That s what happened for the Gems, as they jumped out to early leads in all the games. It was a strategy that was intentional, according to Davis.

We knew if we brought our bats along we d be in good shape, he said. We wanted to score runs in the first inning, and that s what happened. We had a lot of confidence, and I think it really showed.

Davis said despite the Gems so-so record in the Saskatoon Amateur Softball Association (SASA) league, the real goal of the team was the provincial championship.

This is what the guys have been gunning for all Continued on Page 9 Please see CHAMPIONS

Riders display all-business attitude in Montreal It certainly seemed as though the sky was falling for the Saskatchewan Roughriders given their 0-3 start to the 2011 CFL campaign.

Fans were upset and who could blame them? Canada s Team hadn t gotten off to such an atrocious start since 2000 which was long before many of the club s new found fanbase began following the team.

But what better way to snap the funk and make a statement to the league than going into Montreal and upsetting the undefeated Grey Cup champions in their own park? That s exactly what the Riders did Sunday night, stunning the Alouettes 27-24.

During the three game losing stretch it seemed no one was exempt from the finger of blame. GM Brendan Taman, first-year coach Greg Marshall, coordinators Doug Berry and Richie Hall and

RIDER INSIDER ROD PEDERSEN Voice of the Riders Roughriders Radio Network

quarterback Darian Durant all shared considerable abuse on the talk shows, blogs and message boards. And what about team President Jim Hopson?

Why hadn t he said anything through all of this? Was he hiding?

It s pretty hard to hide when you look like me, Hopson smiled before the game in Montreal. No I m not hiding. But I really feel that the football guys are the ones who should deal with the issue. If I m asked I ll certainly comment but with Ken Miller, Greg and Brendan plus all of our coaches and players, none of them hid. We re going to put our heads down and battle

through it.

That s exactly what Rider defensive tackle Dario Romero did Sunday night, blasting through the line and knocking Montreal quarterback Anthony Calvillo out of the game with a concussion in the second quarter. The Riders took the lead shortly thereafter and never looked back.

It was a great victory for our guys, noted Rider coach Greg Marshall, who notched his first career CFL victory.

We fought hard and fought for each other. They can say what they want about Calvillo. He didn t leave, we knocked him out. That s football.

It sure seemed like the

Riders of old. The club seemed listless through the first three games but came out in Montreal with a vengeance. It was a chippy, nasty affair between two clubs who have become bitter rivals. Meeting twice in the Grey Cup will do that to you. On this night at least, the Riders got the bragging rights.

They still have the makings of a good football team don t they? quizzed TSN playby-play man Chris Cuthbert before the game.

Yes, Chris. Yes they do.

It was just a matter of going out and proving it. While many are hesitant to say that the Riders are back , the team can at least feel good about itself heading home for their Week 5 challenge Saturday against Calgary at Mosaic Stadium.

The club still has 14 games left to play and you can only win one at a time. But at least they seem to have the ship back on course.

CHAMPIONS year, he said. This was our real objective. This banner was what we came here for.

When the games mean something, then the guys really buckle down and play hard.

One of the big ingredients in putting a championship team together is finding the right chemistry, and this squad has it in spades.

This is the best team I ve ever played on at this level, said Tyson Almasi. We had the pitching and we had the hitting, and I don t think it mattered what lineup we had out on the field, any combination of nine guys would have won this tournament.

The other thing the Gems had going for them was vocal fan support. Gems second baseman Shane Reid said the team was pumped all weekend, and the enthusiasm of their fans gave them an edge.

It s a great atmosphere, he said. Everybody gets along good, and there s a lot of noise from the stands. It makes a big difference, no question.

It s awesome because it helps the mood. Especially when we hear the siren after our team hits a home run. Monica Ethier s siren is wicked. It was our secret weapon. I think it rattled the other teams.

Davis said the championship banner means a lot to the Town of Warman, as well as the team.

I think it s a big accomplishment for fastball in Warman, and I d really like to see the sport grow in the area, he said. I would like to see kids get involved in fast-

Bulmer overcomes personal tragedy to capture 100th Sask. Amateur title

By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca

Troy Bulmer defied the odds on and off the course to win the 100th Annual Saskatchewan Men s Amateur Golf Championship at The Legends in Warman on Friday, July 22.

PHOTO GALLERY See more photos relating to this story in our online gallery plus breaking news as it happens online for free at: www.ccgazette.ca

Sitting in a tie for 14th spot after the opening round, Bulmer played consistent golf in very inconsistent weather conditions over the next three days to move up the leaderboard quickly.

Leading by six strokes going into the Friday s final round, Bulmer shot a 5-over 77, but hung on to win the provincial title with a total score of 291.

Bulmer edged Brad Blair of Lanigan by a single stroke to claim the title on the 72nd hole.

Blair, who was sitting in third place to start the day, shot an even par 72 to finish with a total of 292. Third place went to 2008 provincial champion David Stewart at 294. Brad Phelps of Saskatoon was fourth with a 296 and two-time provincial champion Scott Thompson placed fifth with a tournament total of 299. Sixth place went to Andrew Zaba of Deer Valley, who shot 300.

Bulmer, Blair and Stewart will represent Saskatchewan at the Canadian Amateur tournament in August while Phelps, Thompson and Zaba will serve as alternates. A total of 111 golfers entered the prestigious tournament, which was first held in Saskatchewan in 1908.

For Bulmer, the Saskatchewan Men s Amateur title represents the second tournament in two weeks that he s won at The Legends Golf Club. He captured the first-ever Legends Open title on July 9 and 10.

I like this course, commented Bulmer after the Saskatchewan Amateur. It fits my game well. It s a course that really helps my distance advan-

Troy Bulmer chips his way onto the 18th green during the final round of the Saskatchewan Amateur Championship at The Legends Golf Club in Warman on July 22 tage over a lot of people. Other golfers will have to hit drivers to be to the same place that I m hitting a 3 wood or a 2 iron.

The fairways are tight and that makes it a good test. If you hit good shots you re rewarded, and if you hit bad shots you re punished. That s the way a golf course should be. It s a great design, and the greens and fairways are in great shape.

OVERCOMING TRAGEDY Bulmer was one of the favourites coming into the tournament, but he had to work hard to earn the championship trophy that his father, Rod Bulmer, had won back in 1984.

It wasn t just the week of wild weather ‒ ranging from Tuesday s scorching 35-degree heat to the gale force winds and heavy rain on the days that followed ‒ that provided the biggest challenge for the 20-yearold champion from Saskatoon.

Compared to what he s been through over the past year, a little bad weather is nothing.

Eleven months ago, in Au-

gust, 2010, Troy Bulmer and his father, Rod, were driving through North Dakota when a tornado picked up their vehicle and flung it several hundred meters into a field. The accident killed the elder Bulmer and left Troy with serious injuries that included a broken neck, torn shoulder ligaments and cracked ribs.

Not only did Troy Bulmer have to deal with the traumatic loss of his father, whom he was very close to, he also had to go through intensive physical therapy. Many doctors thought he d never play golf again.

But, with the help of his mother, sister and friends, Bulmer resolved to return to competitive golf and go back to the American university where he had earned a golf scholarship.

His success so far this summer is a definitive indication of his determination, but he credits his mother for seeing him through the past year.

SPORT&Campaign CULTURAL VILLAGE

n November of 1941, Stan Bandur decided he d had enough of pitching wheat sheaves into threshing machines for 10 cents an hour.

He and many of his friends enlisted in the Canadian army at the Prince of Wales Armoury in their hometown of Edmonton, Alberta.

He had no way of knowing what the future held, but he figured it had to be better than what he had gone through.

I was just turning 20 years old at the time, recalled Bandur in a recent interview outside his home in Radisson. The war had been going on for two years already, and times were hard. As far as most people were concerned, the Hungry Thirties were by no means over. The Depression didn t end when the war started, at least not out west.

Bandur said it was a combination of patriotism, peer pressure, and the promise of better living conditions that prompted young men of his generation to join the army.

Everybody else was going in, so you couldn t lag behind and stay out of the fight, he said. At least you got your food and your clothes. I think pretty near all the boys that I went to school with my age had enlisted. Some came back but they were badly wounded, and some didn t come back at all. I was maybe one of the fortunate ones.

His eyes become misty as he recalls those young comrades who never returned home. War is nothing to talk about, he says curtly. It s been how many years now, and my wife says I dream of it every night. In those days you observe everything and some things stay with you, even though you don t want to remember.

Sixty years together At 89 years of age, Bandur and his wife, Marie, are celebrating 60 years of marriage this month. For 59 of those years, they ve resided in Radisson, Marie s hometown.

They were married in 1952, and when they started their life together, Stan also began his career as a businessman, running Sunrise Meats, a butcher shop and grocery store in Radisson.

He already knew the trade, having worked as a meatcutter and cook for several years with CN Rail s passenger service. That training, combined with his experiences in the army during the war, resulted in a level of maturity and self-discipline that quickly earned him the respect of people in his new community.

I settled in Radisson because I married a girl from here, Bandur said with a grin. Her dad had a lot of cattle, and so I started a butcher shop. My father-in-law helped me build it, and then I ran it for a lot of years. People liked it because I kept a very clean shop. When I started the business, I used to wear a white jacket and a white shirt and a black bow tie every day to work. I didn t dress like a butcher. I dressed like a doctor, and I kept everything spic and span.

Radisson’s town butcher Bandur said while his business was in Radisson, it wasn t uncommon for people from communities as far away as Blaine Lake, Hafford, Sonningdale, Speers and Maymont to drop in to his shop.

I used to buy good quality meat from Intercontinental Packers in Saskatoon or Burns in Prince Albert. I had a big cooler in the shop where the meat would be hung, he said. People would come in every gosh-darned day, and they would buy whatever cut

GAZETTE PHOTO BY TERRY PUGH

Stan Bandur was the proprieter of Sunrise Meats in Radisson for over three decades. He started the business in the early 1950s after serving in the Canadian Army during WWII. He was recently honoured for 56 years of membership in the Royal Canadian Legion.

of meat they wanted to cook for their dinner. Pork chops, hamburger, steak, whatever. I would put the meat on the block and I would run it through this big band saw and give them the cuts they wanted. I always kept everything nice and clean. I always said if I wouldn t eat it, then I wouldn t sell it.

He sold groceries as well as meat, and his reputation was bolstered by sales of his own special variety of homemade sausage.

I had a smokehouse and I made sausage that I sold all over the globe, he said. Even now people phone me and say: Stan, do you have some of that sausage? It s my own recipe that I came up with through trial and error when I was working for the CNR sleeping and dining car department. My wife and my boys know the recipe and the secret to making it, but I don t spread it around. I just tell people you use a little garlic

and a little salt.

While business was good in the 1950s and 1960s, the advent of large grocery chains in the 1970s and 1980s, combined with the gradual closure of packing plants in Saskatchewan, did cut into his bottom line. When he turned 65, Bandur saw the writing on the wall for small-town butcher shops and decided to retire. He renovated his butcher shop, and the building now serves as the couple s comfortable retirement home. The living room where the television is ‒ that used to be where I had the big cooler, Bandur notes.

Ironically, that wasn t the first renovation for the building. When he and his father-in-law built the butcher shop in the early 1950s, they used lumber from a barn near Asquith that was being torn down. When I retired, I thought: Why should I build Continued on Page 16 Please see PATRIOTISM

another house using the cheap, warped lumber they sell now? , he said. I knew what kind of lumber was in this building. You couldn t even drive a nail in this goshdarned wood, it s so hard and straight. So we made it into our home and we stayed right here in Radisson where all our friends are. It s a good community.

Canadian Legion Bandur was one of thousands of Canadian veterans who joined the Royal Canadian Legion in the years following the Second World War. Not only has he faithfully kept up his membership in the organization, he s answered the call when the Legion has asked him to help out at funerals for veterans. For over 56 years, he s held the torch and spoken from the heart, as only one who has been through the hell of war is able to do.

A few weeks ago, he was presented with a medal honouring him for over five and a half decades of work within the Legion. It s a medal he treasures.

The Battle of Kiska Bandur took part in a military campaign that very few Canadians or Americans ever knew about, even at the time. In May, 1943, a combined force of Canadians and American troops, under the command of the US Army, attacked a Japanese naval base on Kiska, a remote and inhospitable island in the chain of Aleutian Islands that lie in the Bering Sea between Alaska and Siberia. The Japanese forces had occupied the islands of Kiska and Attu in 1942, the only foothold they

gained in the western hemisphere.

During the campaign to recapture the Aleutian Islands, a massive convoy of ships carried troops northward along the coast of BC and Alaska. During the voyage, Japanese submarines torpedoed and sank several troop ships, and fierce battles were raged between the subs and the Allied Corvettes. In August, 1943, the Allied amphibious force landed on Kiska and recaptured the island.

The fighting lasted several days and was carried out in bitterly cold, foggy, damp conditions.

The Canadian soldiers participating in the action were issued American uniforms and were treated as part of the American army.

The story of the battle is told in a magazine article online at www.canadianheroes.org/ henri/the-battle-for-kiska-story.htm .

While he is reluctant to talk about his experience, Bandur did reveal enough glimpses of the horror he witnessed to give a sense of what he went through.

I was in the Aleutian Islands, he recalled, In that convoy the ships stretched to the horizon and beyond. The corvettes were as thick as the branches on that tree over there. The Bering Sea is the roughest sea in the world.

Bandur said he saw ships torpedoed, but the horrors at sea were nothing compared to what he experienced after they landed.

No Man’s Land I was with the 46th Battery, and there were a lot of Canadians there, fighting

the Japanese. I was with the American army for two years.

I tell you, when you have to sleep in No Man s Land and you don t know the place, and it s foggy as hell and you can t see anything. I remember one night we had to set our guns up in the dark. We had to dig a trench and get our sleeping bags in there, and the ground we were digging up was a cemetery. We had to dig the bones out of the ground and set them on the bank, and they would be staring at you ‒ the skulls ‒ and that s where you had to sleep and listen for the guns and watch for planes through the fog and the rain and the mist. That scares you a lot more than you know. I d like to see a lot of the big shots go and do that. I never went back to Alaska. I never want to see that place again.

Bandur said one of the happiest days of his life was when that campaign ended. I got off the boat and kissed he ground, he said.

When he returned to the prairies at the end of the war, he said the Legion was the most active organization in the country advocating for soldiers who had served their country.

If it wasn t for the Legion looking after us, we would have had bugger all, he said.

There were a lot of people like me, and a lot of guys a lot worse off. Many were wounded and disabled, and they didn t have any money or anything. The Legion pushed the government to respect the people that went to save the country, and they got medical care and other help for the veterans. There s a lot of things the Legion did, and still does.

Bandur was a member of the Legion s Edmonton branch for a short time after the war, and then joined the branch in Radisson. When that branch closed he joined the Langham Legion Branch. When that one closed as well, he moved his membership to the Saskatoon branch. When there s a funeral for a returned soldier, the Legion asks me to help, and I go to the funeral and represent the Legion, whether its in Speers or Hafford or Langham or wherever, he said. I m about the only one left around here now.

Bandur says it s important for the younger generation to learn about history, and not take their freedom for granted.

PARK DEBATE Continued from Page 3

lic park with off-leash dogs. It is now against the bylaws for people to have off-leash dogs here, but if Corman Park approves the re-designation to off-leash, then it amounts to an invitation to hundreds of off-leash dogs to come here.

WW1132

CONCERNS OVERBLOWN But not everyone agrees that off-leash dogs are a problem. David Fox, a resident of Beaver Creek in the RM of Corman Park, says the concerns over dogs at the park being out of control are overblown.

I use Whitecap Park almost every day, winter or summer, rain or shine, Fox said. It s important for our family and for our dogs. They get to run off steam, and they re not harming anything. The claims that the dogs are affecting wildlife and intimdating people are inaccurate.

Fox said he has three dogs, and always keeps one on a leash, even when at Whitecap Park, because the animal has a tendency to chase porcupines. But the others are well-behaved and don t need a leash because they respond when called.

He said the city s plan for Whitecap Park represents a compromise that is the result of many months of extensive constultations. The people at Birchwood Heights were consulted, he said.

But they didn t like the outcome and now they want to lobby the RM of Corman Park to prevent that compromise from being implemented.

PUSHING BOUNDARIES Lindsey Coquet, a property owner in Birchwood Heights whose house is next to the northern boundary of the park, says allocating the majority of the park for off-leash dogs is irresponsible.

The dogs don t recognize boundaries or limits, she explained. I often have dogs on my property. There are also many incidents of people parking on the road, not obeying speed limits, and so on. I would say that safety concerns are a big issue.

Coquet said while many dog owners are responsible, the problem lies with the irresponsible ones who are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable. It s unfortunate that our property borders the north end of the park, and therefore we see firsthand the results of irresponsible dog owners, she said.

Joan and Ray Spence also have property in the area. Joan Spence said she fears that designating the park as an off-leash area will lead to lower land values. She also notes that the city s water intake is located just downstream from the park near Cartwright Street, and suggests there is a possibility of contamination if many dogs are able to roam freely into the water in that vicinity.

David Fox concedes that the traffic problem around Birchwood Heights is serious, but said it s an issue that can be resolved separately from the off-leash dog park issue.

Delegations from both sides of the issue are expected to appear before the RM council to make their case during the August 8 meeting.

Weekly Horoscopes CAPRICORN Blink twice, Capricorn, and you ll miss them.

That s how minute the changes are. They are necessary, though, so make a note of them. A film inspires introspection.

CANCER Get a move on, Cancer. Time is wasting, and someone is about to beat you to the punch. A little windfall makes for a wild and crazy shopping spree.

AQUARIUS Shock tactics rarely work, Aquarius. Take a different strategy for dealing with a young friend s obsessive behavior. An educational pursuit is met with success.

LEO The need to go green becomes clear. Start with the small stuff, like lightbulbs, and work your way up to bigger and better things. You can make a difference, Leo.

PISCES The numbers do not lie, Pisces. Make the changes necessary to get back on track. Romance perks up with a night on the town for two. Drama plays out at home.

VIRGO Watch it, Virgo. You re in dangerous territory. Stop questioning and do as you re told. A news report inspires you to get involved and help another.

ARIES Interests suddenly shift at work, leaving many to wonder what the real story is. Before you start snooping, Aries, ask yourself if you really want to know.

TAURUS Your penny pinching and bargain hunting make a visible difference in your bank account. Keep at it, Taurus, and financial freedom will be yours.

GEMINI Wise up. Gemini. A colleague is fishing for information for a reason. Watch what you say. A comical error at home results in a flurry of activity.

LIBRA The shuffling of paperwork finally ends. Do something fun to unwind, Libra. Past grievances come into play at home. Time to settle the matter once and for all.

SCORPIO A budding romance blossoms, thanks to your generosity. Give yourself a pat on the back, Scorpio. A trip is back on, and this time, everything will go as scheduled.

SAGITTARIUS Fun times ahead, Sagittarius. Get ready to reconnect with old friends and new and have the time of your life. A young colleague revives a project.

Gazette CLARK S CROSSING

JULY 28, 2011

~ News from Borden | Radisson | Maymont | Hafford | Krydor | Blaine Lake | & Areas

Welcome to readers of the Borden Booster A little bit about us and how we plan to serve the Redberry Lake district For almost 25 years, residents in an area stretching from Borden north and west through Maymont and Hafford have looked forward to the Borden Booster arriving each month.

As Editor Ferne Hebig noted in the July 1 issue of the Booster, the time had come to wind down operations and pass along the opportunity for this newspaper, the Clark s Crossing Gazette, to carry the torch going forward.

The Borden Booster is exactly what community newspapers are all about, explains Gazette Publisher Terry Jenson. Whether it s a small 300 circulation monthly paper or a large 15,000 circulation newspaper like the Gazette, the foundation of any quality weekly paper is local news and events. We appreciate the opportunity to take over where Ferne left off and provide this type of information on a monthly basis.

The Gazette is currently circulated on a weekly basis via Canada Post to the communities of Radisson and Borden and that will continue. However, the last Thursday of each

month will contain The Redberry Review. Inside the pages will be articles from the area, news from columnist Lorraine Olinyk, a coming events calendar as well as ads from Borden, Radisson, Hafford, Maymont and Blaine Lake based businesses and merchants. In order to facilitate the additional coverage area that includes Maymont, Hafford and Blaine Lake, the Gazette will be adding to its press run for the last Thursday of each month to ensure each mailbox receives a copy of the paper.

It will take a little while for things to evolve to exactly where we want it but we are hoping the transition will

be seamless and it s our hope that the Redberry Review will be well-received in the communities, Jenson added. In the meantime, we are encouraging everyone in the Redberry Review area to contact Lorraine for news or advertisements. The deadline will always be at 5:00 p.m. the Thursday prior to publication date (ie. for the August 25th issue, the deadline will be August 19th at 5:00 p.m.).

Additionally, should anyone wish to share the newspaper with someone outside the coverage area, page-by-page replicas will be available online free of charge at www.ccgazette.ca .

BORDEN & RADISSON News

By LORRAINE OLINYK lolinyk@sasktel.net

A bridal shower was held July 20th in the Borden Senior s Room to honor Amanda Lindford who is marrying Jason Rempel on August 13th and they will be living on the former Hans Nickel farm NE of Borden. Shari Nickel was emcee and introduced the head table: Martha Rempel, mother of groom; Jason s sister Jaelynn Rempel; bride elect, Amanda Lindford; and attendant, Jessica Podherdesk and her son, Kaden. Everyone did a contest of scrambled words related to the wedding then Janeen Penner asked 20 questions about Amanda and Jason from which the guests learned that Amanda works at two nursing/convalescent homes in Prince Albert and PT in Saskatoon, is training to be a nurse and sells Amway while Jason works for Murray Dyck at Borden along with helping his dad, Ruben Rempel, on the farm at Borden. The gifts, along with a cash gift from the community, were opened and passed around, then Amanda thanked everyone for attending and for all the lovely gifts.

A potluck lunch was then enjoyed by all.

A bridal shower was held the afternoon of July 23rd in the Borden Senior s Room to honour Heidi Fritsch, who will be marrying Dean on August 13th. Heidi is a teacher in Lloydminister where Dean also works and they will be living in Marshall. The room was decorated with white and black tablecloths, balloons, streamers and candles. The emcee was Sandra long, who welcomed everyone and introduced the head table: grandmother, Nettie White; Denise Nichol, mother of bride; Heidi; Dean s sister, Twyla Davidson; and mother of groom, Carol Phipps. Sandy read Love is a Journey then Jean Hryniuk had everyone do a crossword puzzle related to

A bridal shower was held July 23 in Borden for Heidi Fritsch. Pictured are grandmother, Nettie White; mother, Denise Nichol; Heidi; Twyla Davidson, sister of groom; and Carol Phipps, mother of groom

weddings followed by Gayle Wensley singing Here s to Love and Laughter/My Best to You. Jean had another scrambled letter game on wedding plans before Sandy handed the community gift ‒ cash in a decorated jar ‒ and read all the names who had given.

The gifts were then opened while the guests enjoyed fruit bread, cheese and fruit with punch or coffee. The gifts were displayed for everyone to look over. Heidi graciously thanked everyone for coming, for all the wonderful gifts, the community cash gift, and is so glad to call Borden her home as everyone has been so welcoming.

The Borden United Church held a BBQ lunch on July 20th but, because of the rain, the event was held in the fire hall.

Burgers, salads, desserts and beverages were served for close to 50 who managed to

come out in the unpleasant weather.

Radisson Show and Shine The weather co-operated on July 24th for Radisson s Show and Shine along Main St. on a sunny afternoon with 78 vintage cars and trucks, 15 vintage snowmobiles and three motorcycles on display.

Providing the toe tapping music for the afternoon was Hamps Orchestra from Radisson/Hafford while a group of young Ukrainian dancers from Saskatoon entertained three times during the afternoon, with three of the dancers being grandchildren of Barb Cousins and Norm Heibert, co-organizer of the Show & Shine along with Kirk Maxwell and David Ruzesky in charge of snowmobiles and motorcycles. The dancers also presented Mayor Walter Kyliuk with the traditional braided bread and salt. Booths

were set up for lunch along with pie and ice cream with all proceeds directed to the skating rink. There were 45 donated raffle prizes drawn for with many winners from Radisson, a few from Borden and Langham and elsewhere. Then the Chamber of Commerce draw for a swing glider was won by Connie Ruzesky of Saskatoon and a weed trimmer went to Doreen Parker of Radisson. The show committee raffle of a generator went to Gayle Krutzer of Govan, a camcorder to Derek Cousins of Saskatoon and a Richard Widdifield poster to Sylvia Sherman of Lloydminister. For the cars, trucks and snowmobiles all of the trophies were handcrafted wood replicas of the category they were representing and crafted by Bob Herter of Radisson Continued on Page 21 BORDEN/RADISSON NEWS

ADMINISTRATOR like the way the issue was brought forward. I can t vote on something like this at this time, he said.

Councilor Joanne Janzen also abstained, citing insufficient background on the allegations made by Pilka, and adding that personnel issues of that magnitude cannot be dealt with on the spur of the moment.

Councilor Pilka threatened to bring the motion back at a future meeting, and hinted that another senior employee could face similar actions.

The RM of Corman Park council meeting was originally scheduled to take place on Monday, July 11. It was rescheduled by Reeve Mel Henry in consultation with six councilors, while the remaining four councilors were notified of the date change after the fact

al

eci p S r

Continued from Page 3

by the RM Administrator on the instructions of the Reeve.

A quorum of 7 councilors is needed to make a decision to change the date of a meeting, Henry said. We followed the rules. All seven councilors agreed to make the change.

Henry said the date was changed because a couple of councilors requested it be moved.

Councilor John Rempel said the date change was requested to accommodate the schedule of Winnipeg consultant Marilyn Mackenzie, who had prepared a report on the harassment complaint laid against the Reeve earlier this year.

The Mackenzie Report was presented to the RM council during an in-camera session of the council meeting the morning of July 25. The report

was received, but the contents of the report were not made public.

Meanwhile, a packed gallery was present at the morning session of the council meeting, as approximately 50 people crowded into the council chambers. Some of the ratepayers present at the meeting were there to show support for the Reeve as he faces a harassment complaint from several councilors and staff. During the in-camera session in the morning, a group of about a dozen supporters of the Reeve stood outside the RM office holding placards. Loretta Bors, one of the organizers of the show of support for the Reeve, said they felt the harassment complaint was unfair, and that they voted for change last fall when they elected Mel Henry to the post.

COMEBACK

Continued from Page 10

In fact, his first act after handing in his scorecard at the scorer s tent following his final putt on Friday, was to seek out his mother, Karen, in the crowd and give her a hug and a kiss.

For Karen Bulmer, seeing her son win the provincial title is bittersweet.

I m very proud of Troy and I know his dad would be too, she said. It s been quite a journey for Troy over the past year, and he s had to struggle and overcome a lot of difficult situations.

While her son s physical rehabilitation over the past several months has been amazing, she says the psychological trauma is something that will take a long time to heal.

The worry over the past year was that he might never be able to play golf again, she said.

But he s really worked hard to earn this.

She added her late husband

Karen Bulmer shared his passion for golf with their son.

23 Troy and Rod both absolutely loved the game and, ever since Troy was little, they would spent many hours on a golf course together. So this is a testament to the kind of character that Troy is, and it s a tribute to his dad as well as to himself.

She said it s been a year of ups and downs, but this is one of those poignant moments, one of those little victories along the journey when you re trying to put all the pieces back together again.

For Troy Bulmer, though, the championship is dedicated to his mother, as much as his dad. My mom is the most important person in the world for me, he said. She and my sister are my family. My mom is my biggest supporter. I can t shake my dad s hand or give him a hug, but I can do that with my mom. There is no feeling in the world like seeing her as happy as she is today.

Despite all the possible distractions off the course, Bulmer

said during the four days of the tournament he simply focused on his golf game. When I was on the course I was just playing for myself, he said. It s only after it s over that I can let the emotion come into it.

COURSE PRAISED The Legends Golf Club has only been open for a few months, but it is easily one of the best courses to host the tournament, says Dan Ukrainetz, manager of tournaments and player services for Golf Saskatchewan.

It was a dream for us to have it on this course, Ukrainetz said after Friday s final round. It was a great challenge for the players, but at the same time they all commented on what great shape it is in.

Jeff Lee, Executive Director of Golf Saskatchewan, said the challenging weather tested the golfers. He added the ones who rose to the top were those who were best able to adapt their game to the conditions.
