Hometown Hoops celebrates 20 years The Hometown Hoops basketball camp celebrated their 20th camp with a threeday camp July 24-26 at Lake Lenore School. Among the participants were players in grades 1-4 (left) and players in grades 5-8 (below).

By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Basketball players from across the province descended upon Lake Lenore last week for the Hometown Hoops Basketball Camp on July 24-26. Looking back at the 20 years of camp, organizer and head coach Jillian Weseen says it has been something she has been doing with her family since the very beginning. “I started coaching I think when I was in grade 11. So I never really participated in the camp, I’ve always been a coach. My whole family kind of runs it and ran it from the beginning, so it’s special because it’s kind of a family thing.” Weseen says the tournament was started as a way to give back to the community. “Our family has always been kind of a basketball family so when you love a game, you want to make it better. So we’re all about increasing the skills and abilities of the players in Saskatchewan.” The camp has also played host to basketball players from Alberta and Manitoba, notes Weseen, who says a lot of that comes through word of mouth. The camp featured three different sessions, with a bantam group consisting of students in grades 1-4, a junior group featuring students in grades 5-8, and a senior group with students in grades 9-12.

Raising Cultural Appropriation Awareness Samuel Deason and Rhea Kim perform culturally appropriated piano pieces during their concert at the Marysburg Assumption Church on July 25. Deason says he wanted to bring the concert to Marysburg including other Saskatchewan locations to raise awareness about cultural appropriation and how the pieces of work he played, from Mozart to Gershwin, might be affected by cultural appropriation legislation. photo by Becky Zimmer

Canadian Crop Hail Association Hail Report - July 24 Overview Hot and dry weather continues to be the theme for the summer across the prairies. Crops are stressed and stunted across much of the southern regions in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Extreme dry conditions persist further south with the western half of North Dakota experiencing severe or exceptional drought conditions. Though several storms across the three provinces have been triggered by this prolonged heatwave, the storms have produced little rainfall in the areas that desperately need moisture. Six tornadoes touched down in central and southeastern Saskatchewan in one day last week, with no reported structural damage. Additionally, a tornado was confirmed near Bretton in Alberta last week.

was associated with all of these storms and crops did suffer as a result. Crop conditions show signs of improvement the further north you travel in Alberta and Saskatchewan as those regions have received a lot more rainfall compared to areas in the south. Saskatchewan Environment Canada confirmed six tornadoes touched down in various parts across central and southern Saskatchewan on July 21. Anywhere from pea-sized to golf ball-sized hailstones were associated with these severe storms. There were two tornadoes spotted north of Lanigan, one north of the BHP Jansen Mine, one near the village of Quill Lake, one near Fishing Lake and one between Wapella and Rocanville, with no damage reported. However, many areas in the province remain very dry and crop conditions continue to decline due to hot temperatures and lack of rain. Pasture conditions continue to decline due to the lack of rainfall. Many areas in southeast Saskatchewan have not received more than three inches of rain since April 1, leading to severely stressed crops that are flowering a lot earlier than usual. Despite the lack of moisture, however, the majority of crops are at their normal stage of development for this time of year. Much of the province received very little, if any, rain through mid-July. However, the Pelly area reported

receiving 60 millimetres. Many areas have not received any significant rain for several weeks. Topsoil moisture is quickly deteriorating and rain is needed for crops to fill and for topsoil to be replenished. Across the province, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as three per cent surplus, 32 per cent adequate, 43 per cent short and 22 per cent very short. A few regions received hail, including in and around Saskatoon and areas south near Hanley, Outlook and Delisle. As well, the southeast region of the province at Halbrite, Midale, Weyburn, Lampman, Torquay, Estevan, Bienfait, Alameda and Frobisher all reported hail with various storms. Hail was associated with storms in the southwest, too, near Eatonia, Kyle and Eastend. Hail was reported near Biggar, Handle, Dodsland, Kerrobert, Landis, Langham, Tramping Lake and Warman.

Crop report for the period July 18 to 24, 2017

Haying continues in the province and livestock producers now have 74 per cent of the hay crop baled or put into silage. An additional 14 per cent is cut and ready for baling, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly Crop Report. Hay quality is currently rated as nine per cent excellent, 61 per cent good, 25 per cent fair and five per cent poor. Hay yields have been significantly less than normal for many producers and hay will be in short supply this year in some areas. Most producers have indicated that there will not be a second cut of hay this year. While some areas of the province received some rain this past week, many southern and central areas remain very dry. Rainfall this past week ranged from nil to 98 mm in the Barthel area. Across the province, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as five per cent surplus, 35 per cent adequate, 38 per cent short and 22 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as four per cent surplus, 29 per cent adequate, 34 per cent short and 33 per cent very short. Continued hot weather and lack of moisture in many southern and central areas have further

depleted topsoil moisture and damaged crops. Significant rainfall is needed in most regions of the province to help replenish the topsoil and fill out crops. Crops are ripening quickly, with the majority ranging from poor to good condition. Harvest is just beginning in some parts of the province, with pulses being desiccated and some winter cereal and pulse crops being combined. The majority of crop damage is attributed to hot temperatures, strong winds, hail, localized flooding and lack of rain. Several storms moved through the province late last week, with damage ranging from minimal to severe. There are also reports of insects such as grasshoppers, diamondback moths and aphids. Producers are scouting for pests, haying and getting ready for harvest. With this sustained stretch of dry weather, applications to Saskatchewan’s Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure Program will be considered until September 30, past the current August 1 deadline. The program assists farmers and ranchers in developing sustainable water supplies for agricultural use. Follow the 2017 Crop Report on Twitter at @SKAgriculture.

1. Plummeting the furthest in the United States this summer has been: — Donald Trump’s approval ratings — The value of the U.S. dollar — Colin Kaepernick’s chances to be signed by an NFL team. 2. Unidentified flying objects in and around New York this summer have been determined to be: — Kites flown by kids in Central Park — Weather balloons from the U.S. Meteorological headquarters — Baseballs blasted into outer space by Yanks’ rookie sensation Aaron Judge 3. The saddest observation in Ontario this summer has been: — Homeless people scrounging for handouts on Yonge Street in Toronto — House prices skyrocketing all over the province — The Blue Jays trying to reach .500 in the American League East 4. The City of Edmonton’s biggest decision this year is about: — The future of the High Level Bridge streetcar extension — How to deal with traffic delays during summer construction season — The design of the Connor McDavid statue 5. The Canadian Football League governors appointed Randy Ambrosie as commissioner because: — His resume was outstanding — His nine-year CFL career made him an easy choice by governors — He was the only person to apply. 6. Residents of Saskatchewan have had it up to here with: — Grasshoppers — Aggressive Mounties and their eagerness to issue speeding tickets — Riders’ GM and coach Chris Jones 7. Mathematicians expressed amazement at: — The number of stars in the universe, as determined by the International Astronomical Centre

Merchants route Diamondbacks U23 By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

Just a few short days after capturing the Senior A Provincial Softball silver medal the Bruno Merchants returned to league action. After starting slowly in league play the Merchants have been picking up their play of late with wins in two of their previous five games heading into their contest against the Saskatoon Diamondbacks U23 on July 26. Heading into that contest the Merchants had won two straight against the Diamondbacks U23 and they made sure that streak would not end as they piled up ten runs in

a 10-3 win. The win was the Merchants’ second in a row and moved their overall record to 3-14 on the season, leaving them in fourth place in the four team Keith McLean Division, but moving themselves just half a game back of the third place Diamondbacks U23. The schedule does not get any easier for the Merchants this coming week as they head to Saskatoon on Aug. 3 for a doubleheader where they will take on the division leading Delisle National Leasing Sr. Diamond Dogs in the early game and the defending division champion Saskatoon Poly Plus Sr. Angels in the late game.

Where are we headed with livestock biodiversity

Calvin Daniels Regular readers will be aware I am a strong proponent of any effort made to protect rare livestock breed genetics. We have a tendency in the livestock sector to reduce the genetic base

down to an ever narrower base. The thinking has merit in terms of marketing to be sure. As the genetic base narrows it stands to reason the animals hitting market are more generally alike. The more alike the animals are the more they will respond in a similar fashion to a set feeding regime, the more they can be handled on a production line in a similar fashion, and the more consistent the product should be hitting the consumer table. If we look at the chicken business the vast

majority of frying birds going to market are so genetically similar one might lean toward suggesting they are carbon copies. But the model relies on the premise things will not change, and we must recognize change is constant, but hardly predictable. There are always factors at play which are hard to predict. Again using the chicken as an example, there is certainly a level of pressure to see the crowded barns which have been the norm at the very least modified to the

point they are not seen as industrial farm prisons for the birds by at least a vocal portion of the consumer public. Could that consumer public one day push politicians to enact legislation which could have the fryers of the future running free range across a grassy field. The chicken which would thrive under free range conditions is going to be genetically different from those which grow well under confinement. But if the change were to come, will the genetics remain for producers to

adapt? That is the value of maintain the dozens of livestock breeds which have been part of agriculture in a more significant way in the past, but are frankly considered obsolete by the farm sector today. While rare grains can be protected by the saving of seeds stored correctly, it’s not quite so easy with livestock. So when numbers get to the point of being considered endangered steps need to be taken. There are organizations such as Rare Breeds Canada monitoring live-

stock breeds, classifying them first at risk, then vulnerable, endangered and finally critical, but it takes a lot of effort to maintain the breeds on the list. There are some 50 breeds on the critical list of the organization including breeds originating in this country, Lacombe hogs, Outaouais Arcott sheep, and the Newfoundland pony. But the good news, there is a recently developed technology which may well be a new tool in protecting such breeds, a good news story which will be covered in next week’s column.

Algae blooms on the rise in Saskatchewan water bodies By Becky Zimmer Journal Editor

They can appear anywhere and blue-green Algae is in bloom in Saskatchewan water bodies. The Water Security Agency and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health are warning everyone to watch out for blue-green Algae, also known as Cyanobacteria, in shallow, slow moving or still water. Considering the hot, dry weather, these have been perfect conditions for blooms that can last around three weeks in good conditions, says Patrick Boyle with the Water Security Agency. “When you get a body of water with hot, dry weather in this province combined with not a lot of wind or wave action, so very shallow water or still moving water, it has a potential to form these amounts of blue-algae blooms.� Through the bacteria mixing with nutrients from the soil, conditions add up to create these blooms that are typically seen on shorelines, says Boyle. “It’s the perfect kind of scenario for blue-green algae

to form.� These are natural, annual occurrences but are particularly frequent in dry years, says Boyle. The forecast for most areas of the province are calling for more hot, dry weather this summer, so this has the potential to be another bad year. Blooms can look like a thick pea soup or give the water a shimmer, says Boyle, and can be dangerous if both animals and humans come into contact or consume it. Depending on how much is ingested, “you get different things,� says Boyle. “Red skin, sore throat, cramps, nausea, vomiting. Those sort of things.“ While these are naturally occurring blooms, the best thing to do is avoid that water source for livestock and humans, says Boyle. They are difficult to deal with because they are naturally occuring, says Boyle, and can last up to three weeks depending on conditions. Finding alternative sources of water is the best solution when dealing with a contaminated water source.

With hot, dry weather conditions in the province, these are perfect conditions for blue-green algae blooms in Saskatchewan’s still or slow moving water bodies. Water can take on a shimmering pea soup look and contact or ingestion can lead to red skin, sore throat, cramps, nausea, and vomiting. photo courtesy of Government of Saskatchewan press release

Celebrating multiculturalism Members of the LeRoy community got together to share some culture during their multicultural potluck on July 27. Kaylee Annosesch (far left) says that because of the high newcomer population into LeRoy, she wants people to get together and try out each others food. While only a small handful of people showed up, that will not stop organizers from trying again later in the year. photo by Becky Zimmer

Thought For The Soul

In Memoriam STEWART: In memory of Vince, who passed away August 4, 1983

“Knowledge will give you power, but character respect”

Nothing can ever take away The love a heart holds dear. Fond memories linger everyday, Remembrance keeps him near. God took him home, it was His will, But in our hearts we love him still; His memory is as dear today As in the hour he passed away. We often sit and think of him When we are all alone, For memory is the only friend That grief can call its own.

We all have different journeys, Different paths along the way. We all are meant to learn some things But never meant to stay... Our destination is a place Far greater than we know. For some, the journey’s quicker, For some, the journey’s slow. And when the journey finally ends We’ll claim a great reward, And find an everlasting peace, Together with the Lord.

There are many groups that benefit from the beauty of Lucien Lake. Those groups are now getting together to form the Three Lakes Economic Development Region to make sure everyone is benefitting from such a gem, says Lorraine Forster. It has taken two years of hardwork but now the Town of Middle Lake, the RM of Three Lakes, Bethany Pioneer Village, the Regional Park, Prairies Edge Land Developments, and Prairie Skies Resort surrounding Lucien Lake are all getting involved with the tourism that it brings to the community, says Forster. Unfortunately, too often people have never heard of the lake. “There’s so many opportunities for events and festivals that we thought instead of working in tandem, we should work together.� After two years of brainstorming the idea it has evolved to the point of fruition, says Forster with a name, a website, and a tourism booklet available to start more effectively promoting their area. “It’s just taken off; the momentum, the buy in, the collaboration...we’re just blossoming.� As Marketing and Operation Manager of Prairies Edge Land Developments, Forster is also seeing the benefits of promoting the region through her own business. Especially since it is such a hidden gem, Forster says

they want to do everything they can to promote the area and tell their story. “Any opportunity we have to tell our story, expose people, not only to our development and properties and all we can offer, but to get people thinking about this as a potential full time residence destination.� That ties the community together, says Forster, since then people can discover more about the Three Lakes School, the community hall, and all the other amenities Middle Lake has to offer. Whenever one business brings people into the area, everyone benefits, says Forster, as people will discover what Middle Lake has to offer. “The school is really needing some ongoing vitality. It’s a fantastic K-12 school but we need to share the story and the words so that we can keep continuing to recruit young families and keep the community moving forward.� Now that the Region publication and website has been launched, Forster says it is a moving target with fresh ideas coming into play all the time. Currently, Forster says they are looking forward to participating in the Communities in Bloom provincial program and preparing the communities of Middle Lake, St. Benedict, and Pilger for that, as well as the Three Lakes Walk and Roll event which will support the development of a trail system around Lucien Lake.

Royals fall one win short of provincial finals By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

It was a busy week for the Marysburg Royals as they balanced both their league schedule and the provincial championships. The Royals kicked off their week on July 25 when they traveled to Saskatoon to take on the Saskatoon Smokin’ Guns. With provincials on the horizon the Royals elected to take the cautious approach sending out all 18 players to play a couple of innings each. The result turned out to be unfavourable for the Royals as they lost for just the second time in 11 games, with the Smokin’ Guns pulling out an 11-7 win. The Royals quickly turned their attention to the Senior AA Tier 1 Provincial Championships, which were held in Saskatoon, July 28-30. The Royals kicked off their provincial championships on July 28 when they took on the Saskatoon Diggers. After a slow start that saw neither team score a run through the first three innings, the Royals got on the board first in the top of the fourth as Rylan Korte scored Geoff Strueby with a run scoring single. The Diggers wasted little time responding however, as they took their

first lead of the game in the bottom of the fourth inning, scoring a pair of runs. The Royals got those runs right back in the top of the fifth as they scored twice to regain their one run lead. The Royals tacked on two more runs in the sixth to pick up a 5-2 win. Nick Anderson was charged with the win on the mound for the Royals as he pitched five strong innings, before provincial addition Parker McRae came on the get the save. The Strueby boys lead the way offensively for the Royals as Luke and Curtis finished with a pair of runs batted in each. After enjoying the rest of the night off the Royals returned to action the following afternoon for a contest against the Regina Trappers, with first place and a bye straight to the semifinals on the line. The Royals wasted little time getting on the board against the Trappers as they came out swinging, scoring three runs on four hits to take an early 3-0 lead. The Trappers chipped away at the Royals lead scoring on run in the top of the second, and three more in the top of the third to take a 4-3 lead, before the Royals answered with a run in the bottom of the third to tie the

score at four. The game remained tied at four until the top of the fifth when the Trappers scored to regain their one run lead. Not to be outdone the Royals responded once again piling up five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to take a 9-5 lead with two innings to play. The Royals tacked on another run in the bottom of the sixth inning to take a 10-5 lead, and that was where the game stood as the Royals clinched first place in Pool B and a bye into the semi-finals with a 10-5 win. Carter Frerichs picked up the win on the mound for the Royals pitching five strong innings before giving way to Thomas Lessmeister who pitched the final two innings in relief. Geoff Strueby lead the way offensively for the Royals as he finished 4-for-4 with two doubles. The win meant the Royals got to avoid playing a quarterfinal contest and enjoyed the rest of the day off before playing the second of two semifinals on July 30, against the Saskatoon Outlaws. The game started slowly for both teams as they failed to score a run until the bottom of the second when they pushed across their first run of

the ball game thanks to a pair of hits. The lead did not last very long for the Royals however, as the Outlaws quickly responded with a trio of runs in the top of the third to grab a 3-1 lead. The Royals quickly got back to work in the bottom of the third as they pushed across two runs with none out and had the bases loaded but could not push across anymore runs as the game was tied at three through four complete innings. That is where the game remained until the top of the sixth, when the Outlaws pushed across two runs to regain their two run lead. Unfortunately for the Royals, they could not find an answer this time and fell 5-3, eliminating them from provincials. The Royals now turn their attention back to league play, where they have a 12-6 record, good enough for second place in the Saskatoon Senior Baseball League standings, four games back of the first place Saskatoon Stallions. With just three games remaining in their league schedule, the Royals will get two of them out of the way this week as they travel to Saskatoon for an Aug. 1 doubleheader taking on the Diggers in the early game and the Outlaws in the late game.

Bisons earn first round playoff bye By Christopher Lee Journal Reporter

The Bruno Bisons wrapped up their regular season with mixed results as they split their final two regular season contests. The Bisons kicked off their final week of the regular season on July 24 when they took on the Wombats as Stonebridge South. The two teams came into the contest having played each other just once this season, with the Wombats winning a slugfest 16-15 on June 6. Offense was once again very high in their second and final matchup of the regular season, but unfortunately for the Bisons they could not keep pace with the highflying Wombats attack as they fell 19-7 in five innings, giving the Bisons their second straight loss. Looking to avoid heading into the playoff on a three game losing streak the Bisons wrapped up their

The Bisons’ offence continued firing on all cylinders and their pitching and defense tightened up significantly as they ran away with a 9-1 win. The win left the Bisons with a 1-1 record on the week, and gave them a 13-7 record overall, good enough for a tie for third place in the Saskatoon Men’s Baseball League A Division standings with

Horseshoers from across the province descended upon Mantiou Beach over the weekend for the Provincial Championships. The July 29-30 championships featured 20 competitors from across the province competing in a trio of events including singles, doubles, and mixed doubles, in a variety of categories including A, C, D, and E in men’s, A, B, and D in women’s and A, and B in Elder’s. In men’s singles action, Colin Finnie, a multi-time National champion captured the A title, Daryl Squires won the C event, Daniel Squires won the D event, and Delmar Klassen won the E competition. In ladies singles action, Clara Allard was the A champion, Veleta Klassen won the B title, and Joyce Jordan won the D competition. The Elder’s champions were Jim Feeney in the A event and Dean Galandie in the B event. The mixed doubles title was won by Finnie and Wendy Squires, while Finnie and Vern Bannerman took home the top prize in the A Doubles category, and Ken White and Joyce Jordan took home the top prize in the B Double competition. Players are broken down into categories based on their ringer percentage from their three best tournaments from the past 12 months. Despite having players from all skill levels, who were required to play each other, competitor and tournament organizer, Dale Squires notes the competition was still good. “Everybody beat everybody again today so it makes it interesting.� Squires notes that Manitou Beach

hosts provincials nearly every year, and says it is a good central location for most of the competitors. “It’s more or less central for everyone except maybe Whitewood, that’s about a four or five hour drive but the rest of us are within two or three hours so we host it here usually.� The tournament used to be a qualifier for the national championship but Squires says they have changed it so anyone who is interested in competing can go as long as they have competed in four tournaments that year. The Canadian Championships are in Guelph, Ont. Aug. 8-12, and will be returning to Saskatchewan next year, as Whitewood will play host.
