Mud, sweat ‘n smiles WAYNE SHIELS | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
Blackstrap Provincial Park was transformed into a challenging race course as hundreds of athletes hit the trails at the 2015 Dirty Donkey Mud Run on Saturday, July 4. The event is a wild and fun spectacle that combines trail running with unique obstacles and challenges that push participants to their physical and mental limits and assures they cross the finish line wet and muddy. Separate courses were offered for elite athletes and for individuals and groups that were more off-the-couch thrill seekers. Participants were then able to celebrate their achievement alongside friends and family while enjoying music, food and beverages overlooking the beautiful prairie vista.

St. Laurent Church gears up for pilgrimage
fiddlin’ around at canada day
TERRY PUGH | CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE
Hundreds of people turned out to the Duck Lake Regional Interpretive Centre for the Canada Day celebration on Wednesday, July 1. Donny Parenteau (second from left) along with fellow fiddler Dean Smith of Prince Albert (third from left), Justin Boudoff on banjo (far left), Blaine Yandt on bass (far right) and Ron Samson on drums (not pictured) put on a first-class show and kept toes tapping until the fireworks started after dusk. The Duck Lake Fire Department was also on hand to sell raffle tickets as a way of raising funds to cover their ongoing firefighting and medical emergency expenses.
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Pilgrims are already arriving for the annual Novena at the St. Laurent de Grandin shrine, slated for Wednesday, July 15 and Thursday, July 16. “It’s one of the oldest pilgrimages in the province,” said Lionel Sauve, caretaker of the St. Laurent Roman Catholic Church and shrine, located on the banks of the South Saskatchewan River northeast of Duck Lake. “It’s been going for 133 years.” In the early 20th century, literally thousands of people would make the trek by foot and also by horse and wagon to the shrine for the annual mass and candlelight procession. Today, dozens of pilgrims still walk to the shrine, but hundreds of others arrive in their RVs from as far away as British Columbia; often camping at the site for several weeks at a time. “We already have campers at the site,” said Sauve in an interview in Duck Lake on Wednesday, July 1. “There are more arriving every day. Some have been coming every summer for their whole lives. They’re diehard
Catholics and they’ve never missed it.” Sauve said the highlight of the event is the candlelight procession that always takes place following mass on July 15. “You have to see it to believe it,” he said. “The procession is led by the Bishop, and it’s a beautiful sight. Hundreds of people walk up the hill from the grotto where the mass is held up to the church. They’re all holding candles and reciting the rosary.” Sauve said pilgrims come to the shrine not just for the religious experience, but also for the relaxation and to commune with nature. “It’s one of the most relaxing places to be,” said Sauve. “All the pressure is off when you’re there.”
sands of visitors during annual pilgrimages, and a cemetery where veterans of the 1885 Northwest Resistance are buried. Often overshadowed in the history books by the neighbouring village of Batoche, St. Laurent nevertheless played a key role in the Northwest Resistance of 1885 and the larger history of settlement in the area. The original St. Laurent Church was the building where, on March 15, 1885, Louis Riel broke with the Catholic church leaders and launched an armed resistance against the Canadian government. The first shots in the rebellion took place during the Battle of Duck Lake on March 26. Five Métis fighters who fell during that battle are buried in the St. Laurent Cemetery. The cemetery is also the final resting place of Patrice Fleury, the brother-inlaw of Gabriel Dumont. Fleury played a key role in the armed resistance. Born in 1841, Fleury lived to be nearly 100 years old, and passed away in 1941. The land he farmed is immediately adjacent to the St. Laurent Cemetery. Lionel Sauve, is one of his direct descendents.

Nestled in one of the prettiest spots along the South Saskatchewan River valley, St. Laurent is among the most history-rich places in Saskatchewan.

RM OF CORMAN PARK
Police chief addresses possible criminal activity By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Ratepayers addressed the RM of Corman Park about concerns of increased criminal activity and bad summer road conditions during the June 15 regular meeting of council. The location of concern is on a portion of Township Road 360 between Range Road 3065 and 3070 in the RM’s southwest corner near Highway 7. Resident Lorraine Beaudette, who lives nearby, said in a delegation to council that the criminal activity ranges from garbage dumping to public intoxication and what she thinks could possibly be prostitution. “We have encountered lots of strangers who are on this road and (others) can attest to the visits. She has had people who were drunk or inebriated and people we consider johns because when we drove to check out the situation we could see young girls we knew were not just out joy riding,” said Beaudette. Beaudette had taken pictures of the individuals she felt could possibly be involved in a prostitution related activity and later sat down with Corman Park Chief of Police John Garnet, who was present at the council meeting to discuss the issue further. Garnet said Beaudette’s concern specified a particular vehicle, but he was not able to confirm the incident was prostitution related. At the same time he said it is not uncommon for prostitutes to take johns to rural areas. “My officers have come across them from time to time. They have also come across cases where people have dropped of intravenous needles on the side of the road and they have to be picked up so we are aware that it does happen,” said Garnett. As Saskatoon’s transient population grows, Garnett adds rural residents are going to notice more things that are – and are not – what they may seem to be. “We frequently find people taking the new bridge across to con-
nect with the road to Calgary or they simply go out of town and get lost. Sometimes what appears to be people up to no good can simply be people who are in the area and have another legitimate reason to be there.”
POOR ROAD CONDITIONS
Beaudette’s other concern focused on the condition of that same portion of the road and how it could affect land values for ratepayers who live in the area. In 2013-14 Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan did a water reclamation project, which Beaudette said contributed to the significant damage and current condition of the road. “It was a large industrial construction site. There were open pits, lots of yards of gravel and fill that were hauled in on this road.” Beaudette said the damage to the road is understandable considering that it is a summer road and not built to withstand heavy vehicles and that type of traffic. She also said the protocol for executing the construction work was done poorly. There was never any notification to residents when construction began, no proper permit established to do the work and no monitoring, Beaudette claims. “We used to be able to have 4-H rides on the road and ride snowmobiles on it. We could drive our vehicles down it and pick up hay at the other quarter. We can’t do that now. We have to go all the way around. It is completely unusable,” said Beaudette. Joe Stewart, director of public works for the RM, said that particular summer road is on his “to do” list this construction season. Reeve Judy Harwood noted that at a recent fire committee meeting there have also been concerns raised about fire and emergency vehicles not being able to use the road. Harwood said council could not provide a defined plan, but said the RM is moving forward to bring the road back to a summer road standard.

Firefighter Jon Jackman made a couple of new buddies after he and a crew from Warman Fire Rescue arrived in La Ronge on Sunday morning to help with the wildfire battle. In addition to Warman, firefighters from several other region communities including Osler, Dalmeny and Martensville have made the trek north to assist in keeping the wildfire from causing damage to the communities LaRonge, Air Ronge and Lac La Ronge Indian Reserve and surrounding area. Over 11,000 people have been evacuated from the area as flames have moved to the edge of La Ronge, threatening to cause massive property damage.
Dalmeny teen attempts to evade Saskatoon police A 16-year-old male from Dalmeny is facing criminal and traffic related charges after attempting to evade police during a traffic stop Monday afternoon July 6. Just after 5:00 p.m., patrol officers noticed a vehicle in the area of Idylwyld Drive and 36th Street. A check of the vehicle’s license plate indicated that the vehicle was not properly regis-
tered. Officers activated their flashing lights in an effort to stop the vehicle and speak to the operator. The driver of the vehicle accelerated rapidly and made several quick turns in an effort to evade police. However, a few short seconds later, he thought better of it and pulled over and stopped in a parking lot. He was arrested without further inci-
dent. The youth has been charged with evade police (Criminal Code offence) and was also charged under the Traffic Safety Act for operating an unregistered vehicle as well as displaying an incorrect license plate. He will be appearing in court next month to answer to the charges. No one was injured in the incident.

Scammers becoming increasingly sophisticated Be less polite and more confident when dealing with suspected crooks, says fraud expert By CHARLENE TEBBUTT ctebbutt@yahoo.com An endless number of crooks around the world spend their time researching ways to try to steal your money, but there are still a few ways to protect yourself against scammers, says retired Saskatoon Police Sergeant, Brian Trainor. Trainor is a local expert on fraud and fraud prevention. The head of Trainor Communications in Saskatoon, he now speaks on fraud prevention and counsels individuals and groups on ways to protect their money. Many of us are targeted through email, Internet, phone and mail scams on a regular basis, but Trainor says awareness is one of the best ways to insure you won’t become a victim. “In my career, I’ve investigated just about every scam out there (and) all these scams are really the same,” he said in an interview. “These crooks, they read the papers and they follow the news...these guys know
the words to use.” Most scams, Trainor explains, include the same elements. They generally ask the victims to make a quick decision on whether to donate money, purchase a money order or give credit card details. They target your emotions – such as in situations involving natural disasters or people in need or they offer a quick way to make money or win a prize. Trainor says scammers are diligent and good at pretending they are legitimate. The scammers pressure you into making a fast decision before you have time to think about their request or verify it. In Canada this year, scammers attempted to bilk people out of their tax refunds through phony text or email messages. The messages sounded legitimate to many. Trainor said it’s important to ask questions, especially if you did not originate the call. He said phone, email and text requests can also be researched online to check if they are legitimate. “Take your time and talk to some people,” he added. Trainor said it is important to remember never to give out personal information such as Social Insurance Numbers, birth dates, bank account information or credit card numbers, especially if you did not initiate
the phone call or email. He said this is also important to remember when using social media sites such as Facebook or Twitter. Scammers are becoming increasingly skilled on social media, Trainor adds, and they spend a lot of time seeking out personal information. And, if you do get scammed, you are more likely to be targeted again, Trainor adds. Those who fall prey to a scam the first time will see their name added to what is known as “suckers list” and the requests will keep coming. “You don’t just get hit once,” Trainor says. Essentially, Trainor said Canadians have to be less polite and more confident when dealing with suspected scammers, whether it be over the phone, by email or on social media. “We’re too trusting, we’re too polite,” he adds. “We don’t want people to think badly of us (but) the longer we stay on the phone, the more likely we are to get scammed.” Trainor has also written a book, Stop Fraud, which was a finalist in the Reader’s Choice category at the Saskatchewan Book Awards in 2007. The book is aimed at educating others about various types of fraud and ways they can protect themselves.

SFL opposes financial reporting bill By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca The Saskatchewan Federation of Labour (SFL) doesn’t see the logic in the federal government’s passing of Private Members Bill C-377. The bill was passed by the Senate June 30 and will require labour unions to disclose all of their financial information over $5,000 to the Canada Revenue Agency, where it will also be posted on their website. SFL president Larry Hubich said although the private members bill was introduced by British Columbia MP Russ Heibert, it was backed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper. “(Harper) found a loyal
foot soldier out of BC to put his name behind this private members bill that they rammed through parliament and senate,” said Hubich. The bill was previously on the table for four years and was first declared to be “over the top” by organized labour when it was first debated in the Senate. Although amendments were sought when Harper prorogued Parliament in 2013, those amendments were lost on the order paper, said Hubich. Hubich added that contributions help gain members support from unions with collective bargaining, grievances, arbitration, workers
compensation and occupational health and safety issues in the work place. At the same time it is also every Canadian worker’s right to freely associate and form organizations under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, said Hubich, who also stated SFL revenues and expenditures are reported through a reputable auditing firm on an annual basis. Hubich said if the federal government wanted access to annual financial or audit statements belonging to labour, he could make that available. He predicts the costs associated with unions having to disclose their financial statements to the
CRA will be substantial. “There is an estimate it will cost the federal government hundreds of millions of dollars just to administer this. They will have to hire the people necessary to process these reports that are going to be required by unions.” Ultimately, Hubich feels if unions have to report, there should be a level playing field for all organizations. “We are saying that if you want to apply those rules to us apply them to the CFIB, the Fraser Institute, Chambers of Commerce and Manufacturers Associations. Apply the same rules to unions to any business or organization in society,” said Hubich.
PUBLIC NOTICE OF A LOCAL IMPROVEMENT BYLAW Public notice is hereby given for a local improvement bylaw for the City of Warman. The local improvement bylaw is required to undertake the paving of a portion of Haichert Street West. The portion of Haichert Street West to be paved is between 3rd Avenue South and 6th Avenue South. Council will consider this application at 6:30pm on July 27th, 2015 in Council Chambers at the Warman City Office, located at 107 Central Street West. Council will hear any person or group wishing to comment on the proposed local improvement bylaw.

Let’s not hop to increase beer taxes Paige MacPherson Alberta Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation
COMMENTARY
Welcome to Alberta, home of great beer selection and competitive beer taxes (for now). However, calls for higher taxes and potentially less access to our favourite suds are a real buzz kill. Currently, the provincial graduated beer tax structure taxes beer from both in-and out-of-province brewers at the same rates. Tax differences are dependent only on a beer’s alcohol content (high alcohol beers are taxed more) and brewery size. Small brewers (like Alley Kat) are taxed less than medium or large breweries (like Sleeman), similar to a small business tax rate. That gap widened further when the Prentice government increased the tax on standard (large production) beer to $1.20 per litre in March. Sorry, Keith’s drinkers. Importantly, brewery location does not impact brewery taxation. The Alberta Small Brewers Association (ASBA) recently held their annual general meeting. Though asked, they’ve yet to make public their current position on this. They’ve expressed excitement about working with the NDP government to address tax and red tape, as the Alberta Liquor and Gaming Commission (ALGC) is continuing a review of its laws. However, in the past, the majority of the founding members of the ASBA were unhappy with the tax equality between in-and out-of-province brewers. In 2013, 12 of 16 ASBA’s members got together and asked the provincial government to impose higher taxes on out-of-province small and mediumsized brewers. They argued that other provinces tax Alberta brews at higher rates than the locals, so we should do the same. We wouldn’t impose a sales tax just because New Brunswick has one. That would hurt Albertan consumers. So why would we increase our beer taxes and potentially limit our beer selection because other provinces do? As its members prepare to once again lobby the government, it’s time the ASBA clarified their position. Previously, ASBA members argued taxing small brewers from outside Alberta at higher rates would signify ‘supporting the local beer industry.’ But pushing someone else down is no way to pull oneself up. To truly support the industry, the government should lower beer taxes across the board, making beer easier to sell and buy. Further, the government could change the way they apply taxes to all small and medium brewers. All growing breweries are pinched by a retroactive taxation scheme that makes expanding a brewery unnecessarily expensive. As an individual in Alberta, your income is tax-free up to about $18,000. Any income above that, up to $125,000, is taxed at 10%. Brewers get a tougher deal. Beer is taxed at 40 cents per litre up to 20,000 hectolitres, but the second they cross that arbitrary 20,000 threshold, every drop they’ve brewed is taxed at 51 cents. At a 22 per cent increase, modest growth doesn’t seem all that lucrative. Alberta has unmatched beer selection, access and low taxes on all our favourite beers. It’s a great place for brewers across Canada to sell beer, because they aren’t slapped with out-of-province taxes. This means more selection for Albertans. The ASBA members’ position from 2013 called for changing that. The ASBA has the opportunity to shift away from their members’ bitter protectionist pushes, and toward increased accessibility for Albertan beer-drinkers. But they first need to come clean on their current position. Some of us enjoy a hoppy Big Rock Rig Pig Ale. Some prefer a malty Propeller Porter. Some like a refreshing Steamwhistle Pilsner. It would be unfair to tax one of these Canadian craft brews more than the others. Albertans shouldn’t be penalized for cracking the cold one they like best.

Smoke from north reminds us we are connected It was just a little smoke... or rather, a lot of wood smoke blanketing southern Saskatchewan like about a million camp fires. But it was hardly that sweet smell of dried burnt poplar, birch or fir that so many of us enjoy on summer camping or fishing trips. The smoke that we experienced last week from the northern forest fires in and around La Ronge was the choking, eye-watering kind that somehow reminded us how connected we really are. It was a reminder to all of us in this province – rural, city and north – that we are all connected by shared problems. A lack of jobs in the booming cities means fewer taxes to pay for roads, schools and hospitals. A borderline drought that we might be headed for in rural southern farming areas means a slowdown in the entire provincial economy. Similarly, a fall in oil, potash and even northern uranium prices means less royalty money to do the things we need to do as a growing province.

Provincial Politics
That dreaded smoke wafting down from the north into our eyes and throats was nothing but irritating trouble. It isn’t just the loss of timber, that isn’t quite the exciting industry it was 30 years ago when the thenGrant Devine government was announcing the sale of the government-owned Prince Albert Pulp and Paper Company (Papco) to Weyerhaeuser that would cause a two-decade boom in Prince Albert with the province’s first paper mill. Paper became a less-valued commodity in the sudden arrival of the electronic age. Nor has traditional pulp logging in the north been the big economic player it once was, so the comparatively small section of northern forest burning won’t actually be that big a deal. It wasn’t the econom-

ic loss of fly-in or drivein fishers and campers with the closure of Hwy. 2 from Prince Albert to La Ronge. This is, admittedly, a big deal for fly-in fishing camps that will be hammered by this – especially with the road closures and the fact that every available airplane will be commandeered to fight the fires. And then there is the direct impact on the economy of La Ronge, itself – a community that is highly dependent on the short summer tourism season to get it through the year. It’s also the extraordinary costly to fight these fires to protect both communities and forest resources. A province that struggled to get by with a meagre $62-milllion surplus in 2014-15 and that is already starting 2015-16 with $700 million in the hole in borrowing can ill-afford any economic hit. Fighting forest fires tends to often be a big economic hit – one that often quickly rises to the tens of millions of dollars. Really, no good came out of that northern smoke last
week in the same that no good ever comes out hail, drought or a fall in mineral prices. But it does remind us how we are all connected as one province. One area of the province’s problems quickly become shared by all of us. At the time of writing of this, neither the community of La Ronge nor was the heavily populated nearby La Ronge First Nations threatened. That said, close to 1,000 people from communities like Sucker River, Waden Bay, and English River were already evacuated. And communities like Stanley Mission and Nemeiben Lake were isolated by roads being cut off by smoke and fire. Imagine if 1,000 city people or rural residents had to pack up and go because of a grass fire or a train derailment? It’s pretty much the same for those who choose to live in places that most of us only choose to visit briefly as a nice, pleasant summer holiday. That smoke last week somehow seemed to connect us all.

Most photos taken with a built-in zoom lens extended will produce “grainy” images that do not reproduce well. 3. Attempt to get dynamic photos of something happening instead of just a quick snapshot. 4. “Presentation” photos typically don’t work well if there are too many people side-by-side in the frame. If there are many people in the photo, have them as close together as possible and, if needed, have the front row seated and the back row standing. 5. Remember taking a picture facing into the sun or bright light will produce poor quality images.

All’s well that ends well Quick thinking neighbour recognized by fire dept.
By TERRY JENSON tjenson@ccgazette.ca If Kimm Barker hadn’t been working outside his Warman home on the evening of June 22 things could have been much worse for his neighbour. A vehicle had caught fire in his neighbour’s garage on Crystal Bay, but thanks to Barker’s awareness, the home was saved. “I was polishing my boat when I noticed some smoke coming out through the top of their garage door,” Barker explained. “I dropped what I was doing and notified her that something was on fire in her garage. She was watching TV in her living room and had no clue that a fire had started.” Barker, who retired from the Warman Fire Department two years ago, grabbed a fire extinguisher from his garage as well as a smaller one from his boat and headed back to his neighbour’s garage. He was able to knock down the flames and then began to use a garden hose. By the time firefighters arrived a few minutes later, Barker had eliminated any chance of the blaze spreading and crews were able to move the vehicle by hand out onto the driveway where the fire was eventually put out. “There is no doubt that his quick actions saved that home from being damaged even further,” deputy fire chief Russ Austin added. “When we arrived on scene, temperatures in the ceiling of the garage were 180 degrees. Autocombustion starts around 223 degrees Celsius so it wouldn’t have taken long before fire would have spread to the ceiling and walls.” Firefighters responded with three units and onlookers lined the street while personnel sprayed down the engine compartment on the driveway with foam. Following what could have been a much more tragic ordeal, Barker has one piece of advice for home owners. “If you don’t have a smoke detector in your garage, get one. (My neighbour) was watching TV and never knew her truck was on fire. It could be hard to hear the detector going off in the garage because of the thickness of the fire rated walls, but having one that works on wifi that sends an alert to your phone is a great option and one that I would highly recommend having. “It’ll be the best $80 you’ll ever spend to have peace of mind.”
The City of Warman and Warman Fire Rescue presented a plaque to Kimm Barker on Friday, July 3 for his actions during a fire on June 22 (pictured below).

Local libraries’ summer reading programs feature theme of ‘play’
By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca Wheatland Regional Library branches in communities throughout the area are featuring “play” as the theme for their summer reading programs.
The Martensville library kicked off its summer program on Monday, June 29. Warman library held its launch on Friday, June 26. Summer is traditionally a busy time for local libraries as schoolchildren read doz-
ens of books while participating in contests and activities. “It’s always busy,” said Martensville librarian Stacey Brooman. “There’s never a dull moment at the library. We try and keep the kids in-

Liam Straker and his sister Olivia are looking forward to the summer reading program at the Martensville branch of the Wheatland Regional Library
volved and entertained. The local library becomes a focal point for them so we try and change things up every week. They get excited when there’s something new every week.” Warman librarian Cara Barrett confirmed there’s plenty of activity at her library as well. “Last year, when we moved into this new facility, we saw the biggest increase in patronage ever,” said Barrett. “It was almost double from the year before. We’re hoping for another increase this coming year as well, but regardless, the kids always seem to have fun and participate. It’s a busy place.” Libraries across the province are focusing on “play” as the theme for this summer, said Barrett. “We have weekly prizes for kids that read books,” she said. “For the older kids, they mark down every 15-minutes that they read on a log. That way it allows the kids that are reading larger books to get credit for the amount of time it takes to get through a bigger volume. After three 15-minute
entries; or after 45 minutes of reading; they get to enter a draw for one of four prizes.” Brooman said the Martensville branch also gives out weekly prizes. At the end of the summer, Wheatland Regional Library also gives out prizes to readers across the system who log the most minutes reading books. “The regional library is giving out gift cards as priz-

es,” said Brooman. In addition to the reading program, there are activities like crafts and scavenger hunts to keep the kids engaged. Both Warman and Martensville libraries are bringing in Danica Lorer, a professional storyteller for all ages, to entertain the kids in July. Lorer is slated to be in Martensville on Monday, July 13 and Warman on Friday, July 17.

Kids flocking to Warman Summer Fun program By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca School may be out for the summer, but class is in session at the Warman Summer Fun Program.
Bueckert. “We’re fortunate to have so many great facilities here at home to keep the kids engaged and active, but we also provide them with a wide range of experiences.
And enrolment is through the roof. “It’s a very popular program,” said Warman Recreation and Community Events Supervisor Coralie
off on June 29 due to the wildfires that have been ravaging the north. “The smoke is a little tough on the lungs,” said Bueckert. “When the air clears there will be more outdoor activities.” The summer fun program began at the end of June, which was designated Parks and Recreation Month by the City of Warman. Bueckert said in addition to daily activities, there are also special activities throughout the week. Tues-
“They’re never bored when they’re here, that’s for sure.” The program, which charges a daily fee for participants, is run by the Warman recreation department and has been operating for several years. It is a daily drop-in program for children that employs several seasonal recreation staff who run the activities and ensure safety. Based at the Legends Centre, the gymnasiums have been used for the activities since the kick-
days the kids go to the Spray Park at Lions Park, and every Friday there is a field trip. “We’re taking the kids bowling, to indoor playgrounds, mini-golf, and other activities.” The program also gives parents some extra flexibility when it comes to scheduling. “We have extended care hours in recognition that many parents work and need to have a safe place for their kids,” said Bueckert.

Clutch hitting helps Canada win ISF World Softball Championship By JAMES TARRANT james@ccgazette.ca Team Canada are World ISF Softball Champions after defeating Team New Zealand in a convincing 10-5 victory in Saskatoon, July 5. New Zealand came out swinging in opening first three innings, putting up five runs on four hits on Canadian pitcher Sean Cleary. In the bottom of the third inning, however, Saskatoon pitcher Devon McCullough relieved Clearly and made an impact right away. Mathieu Roy’s single, which drove in Brandon Horn, essentially opened up the scoring floodgates for Can-
ada. In the same inning Canadian centrefielder Brad Ezekiel got all of Heinrick Shannon’s change-up, blasting it out of the park to score two more runs. Third baseman Steve Mullaley homered, which brought Canada to within one to close the inning. In the bottom of the fourth with the bases loaded, Mullaley all but sealed Canada’s victory when he launched another out of the park to give Canada a 8-5 cushion. The Canadians added to their lead in the bottom of the sixth when Mullaley drove in Ezekiel to make it 10-5.
Mullaley, who finished the game with three home runs and seven RBIs, said after his first opportunity at bat he was playing it a little too safe, which was a philosophy he changed with his second opportunity. “I made a decision after the first one that I was just going to go in a try to hit the ball hard,” said Mullaley. “When that happened I just saw the ball better. He threw a change up and I was lucky to get all of it.” Mullaley didn’t want to take all the credit for the win.

Pair of close losses overshadow big offensive numbers Pack a lunch and buckle up. This is going to be a long, bumpy ride. I’m not talking about this column, but rather the 2015 Saskatchewan Roughriders season. Only four games in (two preseason, two regular season), this team has yet to taste the sweet sensation of victory. The winless exhibition season doesn’t mean much but you have to wonder what’s going on in the rookies’ minds, particularly after two close home losses to open the year (30-26 to Winnipeg and Sunday’s 4240 double overtime loss to Toronto). Some must be thinking, ‘Are we a good team or not?’ There’s plenty of reason to panic, yet it’s also far too early to do so. The Roughriders may be winless going into Week 3 but division mates Edmonton and BC can say the same thing while Calgary and Winni-
peg are only a game ahead at 1-1. The trouble is, the Riders don’t seem to be trending upwards in one key area: defense. They gave up a whopping 470 yards to the Blue Bombers in Week 1 and may have trimmed that to 367 in Week 2, but it was disturbing that the Riders allowed Toronto quarterback Trevor Harris to mount a game-tying touchdown drive – starting from their own 25-yard line – with only 1:08 to go on Sunday afternoon. A more aggressive defense was promised when long-time coordinator Richie Hall was shown the door last December. And yet this bunch has been anything but so far this summer. However, if you listen to the quotes coming out of the Roughrider locker room late Sunday afternoon, you’d swear the Riders had won the game.

RIDER INSIDER ROD PEDERSEN
Voice of the Riders Roughriders Radio Network
“A lotta good signs in all three phases,” Riders head coach Corey Chamblin told our CKRM postgame show. “We gotta get points. We have to have points if we have 500 yards.” And with that, the finger was momentarily pointed at the offense. However, the only really glaring thing quarterback Kevin Glenn can be accused of is the 100yard pick six he threw to Toronto’s A.J. Jefferson at the 5:34 mark of the fourth quarter which brought the score to 21-18 Saskatchewan. “Kevin wishes he had that ball back,” Chamblin revealed after the game. “The team tried to fight back but
the mindset was different after that. Defensive points against are tough to get over.” It’s equally tough for the offense to watch from the sidelines as the other team marches the ball all the way down the field to tie the score with the game on the line. We’ve seen this Roughriders team play in unison like a finely-tuned orchestra at times during the golden era of 2007-2013. We’ve also seen them scrap and fight like bar-room brawlers at times too. One phase of the team covering for another on any given day to help secure the win.
Right now they’re not close to doing any of that, but it’s still extremely early and it’s clear Chamblin is doing his best to keep his troops upbeat. Now in his fourth season, his methods are very clear. If this team was 2-0 at this time, he’d be “ripping them a new one” in order to keep them humble. “(Chamblin) just said he liked our intensity, he loved our effort and we’re that close,” rookie linebacker Jake Doughty said of his coach’s postgame locker room speech. “We’re a couple inches away and we’ll be a good football team.” Sophomore returner/receiver Ryan Smith was singing from the same hymn book, stressing the positives. With 174 yards on eight catches and his second touchdown score of the season, he had reason to. “Our heads are held high,” Smith said. “We came out there fighting and that’s all
we can ask for. We came up a little short today but next week we’ll be ready to go.” That next week showdown is this Friday night against the 0-1 BC Lions in Vancouver in a game I’m dubbing the Bad Blood Bowl. Lions offensive coordinator George Cortez was fired by the Riders following the 2014 season and has had little to say about it since. Meanwhile, the Riders’ 45year old kicker Paul McCallum was turfed by the Lions coming out of training camp three weeks ago and he’ll be making his first return to BC Place. Oh, I forgot to mention the Riders signed McCallum last Wednesday? The 23-year veteran was 4 for 4 against the Argos, allowing for some relief in the special teams area which ailed in Week 1. So now in mid-July, we’re still trying to sort out what the 2015 Saskatchewan Roughriders are.

“Up and down this lineup any guy could of had that kind of day and it was me today. I am happy about it, but I had faith in every one of the guys on our ball team. The big red machine was moving.” Head coach John Stuart said giving up was never an option when the team got down by five runs early. “I said to the guys after the third inning, one base at a time, one bat at a time and things will come. Trust yourselves and we will make it through,” said Stuart. Ezekiel said the home runs were only part of the game. “Our singles on walks were just as big as the home runs. Without players on base the score would have been totally different.” For Canadian pitcher Devon McCullough, who plays with the Saskatoon Sr. Diamondbacks of the Saskatchewan Amateur Softball Association, said it was a crazy situation to head into a game and help pull off such a huge victory. “It was mental out there coming into the game, but Sean had been throwing hard all week so he deserved it,” said McCullough. In the round robin, Team Canada shut out Guatemala, Indonesia, the Phillipines, and defeated the Czech Republic and Great Britain in huge lopsided victories. The only two teams that proved a challenge for the Canadians were Argentina, which Team Canada defeated 7-5 on June 30 and the 2014 ISF World Softball Champions from New Zealand, who Canada edged 2-1 on June 28. After racking up a perfect 7-0 round robin record it looked as if Team Canada was going to waltz straight to the championship final when the team dropped a 9-5 decision to New Zealand in the playoffs on July 4. But, Canada re-focused quickly and defeated Venezuela 10-0 to set up the rematch with New Zealand in the championship final.

throughout the week with an all-star game on the last day, which is not really a traditional tournament format. Its purpose is to help identify players for the national team level, said Team Saskatchewan coach Percy Hoff. Hoff, who is the director of Saskatoon’s Astra Soccer Academy, said Crampton and Martens are both great additions to Team Saskatchewan.
“They have been part of our academy for quite a while now and I have watched them grow up. Josh is a good defender, plays really intelligent and has a great left foot. Harry is more of an attacking player.” Crampton, who moved to Saskatchewan with his family four years ago, said the developmental side of the game in Canada is a little different than in England
where it is the dominant sport, but said it is a great opportunity to play and learn against the top Western Canadian players at the U14 level. “I was a little surprised I was selected. I think we will have a good team this year and I think this experience will make me a better player,” said Crampton. Hoff has been coaching Team Saskatchewan at the tournament since 1991. He
said the tournament’s focus is not about winning but more about bring out the talent in individual players and letting them be seen for what they are. “We always try to see how well we can do, no one keeps results but we always try to finish in the top three,” said Hoff. “It’s hard to score goals in this tournament but over the last few years we have made some head wind and scored some goals so we
are happy about that.” The U14 Boys recently won a silver medal at their provincial tournament in Lloydminster from June 26-28. The team advanced all the way to the finals before being edged by the host Lloydminster team 3-2 in the final. Saskatoon Youth Soccer league playoffs for the U14 Boys will start this week with the gold medal game to be played Sunday, July 12. 15072MF1

CLARK’S CROSSING GAZETTE | THURSDAY, JULY 9, 2015 PG. 12
Pineridge Golf Club moves to grass greens By TERRY PUGH tpugh@ccgazette.ca The Pineridge Golf Club in Waldheim is upgrading its course by installing irrigation equipment, converting to grass greens, and introducing a few more challenges and amenities into the course layout. “The upgrades actually began a couple of years ago,” said Menno Homes Vocational Manager Trevor Hiebert, a member of the golf club board of directors who is overseeing the improvements. “We’ve probably spent about $147,000 so far on irrigation, and the greens themselves will run in the neighbourhood of about $100,000 to $120,000; so in the end the whole project is likely to run about $300,000 to $325,000.” That total doesn’t include the donation of the use of equipment and manpower by the Town of Waldheim public works department. It also doesn’t include the many hundreds of hours of labour put in by club volunteers. But the biggest factor is the work being done by Hiebert, George Bueckert (an employee of Menno Homes and Menno Industries with extensive experience in golf course maintenance), and nine dedicated residents of Menno Homes and Menno Industries. Menno Homes in Waldheim provides residences and programming for about 70 people with intellectual disabilities, and is one of the biggest employers in the community. Hiebert said the involvement of Menno Industries began a few years ago, when the groundskeeper for the golf course left to pursue other opportunities. “We just thought it made sense to put in a bid from Menno Industries to take care of the course,” said Hiebert. “It involves a bunch of people and it gives the residents of the home, who have intellectual disabilities, an opportunity to do some good work and help out in the community. We’ve been doing the maintenance of the course now for three years, all the watering and mowing and so on. These upgrades are really an extension of that ongoing maintenance work.” George Bueckert said a few of the holes will be moved slightly, but the basic layout of the course will remain the same. He said while the move to grass greens has been a long time coming, most people are glad to see
the change. “It’s a sign of the times,” said Bueckert, as he took a break from mowing the fairway. “When I first moved to town here many years ago I inquired about the possibility of moving from sand to grass greens, but people weren’t interested at that time. Now they are. I think it will be a good thing.”
regional park
The golf course is the main attraction in Waldheim’s Valley Regional Park, which also includes ball diamonds, an RV campground, swimming pond, restaurant and clubhouse. In conjunction with the upgrades to the golf course, the park is expanding and renovating its RV park to accommodate larger units with 20 new pullthrough sites that include electricity and water. Temporary grass greens have been installed while work is being done to convert the long-standing sand greens to grass, said Hiebert. There are also new bunkers, creeks, bridges and other landscaping improvements being installed to make it more appealing to golfers of all ages and abilities. Hiebert said the town has provided capital grants to the course for the last five years with the intention of having the golf club shift to grass greens. This year was the time for the changeover, he said. The upgrades to the 2,870 yard course should be completed by June, 2016. “We haven’t had any negative feedback. There’s the odd person who isn’t thrilled about the cost having to go up a bit, but we really haven’t decided what the new fees will be.” With a current round of golf at the nine-hold course just $10, even a doubling of the fee would make it a bargain. Currently, golfers don’t have to book tee times and the course is able to accommodate walk-ons throughout the week. “We’re confident the number of golfers using the course will increase,” said Hiebert. “We still want to keep it reasonably-priced and maybe take bookings half the time and leave the other times free for walk-ons.” According to Hiebert, Pineridge Golf Club currently has around 200 members, about a third of that total is made up of family memberships, so the actual number of golfers is higher.

OPENING THIS WEEKEND
‘Chickens’ ready to fly
By Kate Kading Just two more days until the much anticipated return of the fun musical frolic “Chickens” hits the stage at the Station Arts Centre (SAC) in celebration of their 25th year. Saturday, July 11 will be filled with the opening day of the play, a country family festival out in front of the SAC, an artist reception for “A Retrospective” by artist Kathy Thiessen and an opening night reception for “Chickens” giving the public the opportunity to meet and greet the cast and crew of the summer production. Co-Executive Director of SAC Nadine Ens says it’s a whole day of excitement not to be missed. “Whether you come out just for a little while or take in the entire day, our festival day, opening night of the play and the gallery show is going to be a super family event that we are really looking forward to. So much work goes into the productions and the art in the gallery, we hope everyone can come out and show their appreciation for these talented artists dedicated to continuing the high calibre experiences here at the Station Arts Centre.” Keeping with a vintage country fun theme, there will be some races and games for the kids, face painting, balloons, excellent photo opportunities, dancing and some art projects put on by the staff at SAC as well as socializing and refreshments to round out the day. Ens says the building anticipation has been well worth the wait. “We first released our
intention to bring ‘Chickens’ to our stage back in March and we can’t believe the day has finally arrived. The cast and crew moved here last weekend and some of them will stay on for the duration of the summer. It is always exciting to be a part of the production process. And to pair it with a gallery show by one of the Station’s biggest long-time supporters Kathy Thiessen, really tops it. We couldn’t imagine a better way to celebrate our 25th anniversary and can’t thank Kathy enough for her commitment to the Station Arts Centre over the years. We are so proud to show people the beautiful art she creates.” And as if there wasn’t enough packed into one day, the SAC will also open its Caboose Museum for the first time. Cleaned up and updated by the new “Caboose Club” with work by Brad Nichol and son Finn, it will feature a photographic display highlighting the history of Rosthern, not to mention the thrill of being able to see the inside of a real train caboose. Children and adults alike will love the novelty of the new caboose museum. Plan to spend the day at the Station Arts Centre in Rosthern on July 11 and say a great big happy anniversary! “A Retrospective” by Kathy Thiessen opened on June 30 and runs until August 29. Lucia Frangione’s “Chickens” is directed by Peter Jorgensen and runs until August 9. Tickets are still available by contacting the Station Arts Centre.
