Watson celebrates new lift station

By Becky Zimmer Editor Infrastructure may not be sexy but it is an important part of small town Saskatchewan.

And Watson had a reason to celebrate on June 1 with the grand opening of their new lift station and forced main, a major improvement to the town’s sewer system.

The $2.18 million project was completed in April and Mayor Norma Weber says it has been years in the making.

“We’ve been limping our old sewer lift station along for several years until we finally got approved for the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund. We were very anxious to get going on this and get it completed.”

The new lift station will provide reliable service to the town of Watson, as well as a greater capacity for the current population and

future growth.

Weber and Minister for Government Relations Warren Kaeding were on hand to celebrate the important occasion with Kaeding saying any improvements that can be made to Saskatchewan’s municipal infrastructure is something to celebrate.

“Every community has some project they need to expand their services or improve quality of life for the residents. Anytime we have the opportunity to do something significant like this is certainly going to enhance any communities offerings to their residents.”

And many Saskatchewan communities are in need when it comes to infrastructure improvements. Kaeding ventures that there is well over a billion dollars in projects to get communities where SEE LIFT PAGE 2

in the report, including developing several programs and services to protect victims of domestic violence. That includes protocols for how courts, frontline services and public sector workers deal with violence, including developing first responder groups in all Saskatchewan communities with specific training in domestic violence.

Also included in the recommendations are establishing a central call line for advice and support and creating a social media strategy to raise awareness of domestic violence.

While the reforms are a first step for the province, some view them as not enough to properly address the issue.

Premier, opposition leader react to buyout Devan C. Tasa Journal contributor Saskatchewan’s premier and leader of the opposition weren’t expecting that the federal government would offer $4.5 billion to buy the Trans Mountain pipeline from Kinder Morgan.

The federal government plans to complete an expansion on the pipeline before selling it back to private interests.

“I hope this works.

This isn’t likely the way I would have went about it,” said Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe about the plan. “This is more of a last choice rather than a first choice.”

The premier said the

federal government should have withheld infrastructure dollars to B.C. until they agreed to start the construction of the pipeline instead.

Ryan Meili, the leader of the Saskatchewan NDP, said during a conference call with rural media the pipeline was approved by the federal government and needed federal leadership to break the stalemate that’s developed.

“This is a form of federal leadership that is a bit of a surprise,” he said.

“It’s a very interesting step forward and we’ll be watching it closely to make sure that it does achieve the intended goal, which is allowing

the project to proceed, without any unintended consequences.”

Both Moe and Meili wondered what the final cost of construction, which would be on top of the $4.5 billion, would be for taxpayers.

The premier said he’s not sure how the change in the pipeline’s ownership would get the B.C. government to relent in its opposition. He said there needs to be a plan soon on how the pipeline will be constructed.

Moe said Saskatchewan will not invest money into the pipeline and is concerned the buy-out sends a negative message to private investors.

funding from both the federal and provincial governments with contributions of over $1.6 million going towards the project.

Weber says the town will raise the remaining funds with residents con-

tributing through their water bills.

A previous levy for a different project has just wrapped up so that levy is now contributing to the lift station without the town raising taxes anymore that needed.

Weber says the town is contributing around $547,000 for the project.

With the lift station project complete, Weber says the town now turns their attention towards the Quill Plains Healthcare Foundation project that will revitalizs 12 bed wing in their level four care home.

cess,” said Schweitzer.

“We need to get more awareness out into our communities and assist our children that are exposed to violence. We know statistically that the lasting trauma that happens to the children is life-long, it’s generational.”

Between 2005 and 2014, 48 Saskatchewan residents were murdered in cases of domestic violence. The victims are almost split down the middle – 25 female and 23 male.

The ultimate goal is simple – to wipe out domestic violence and abuse in Saskatchewan.

“We all say it – our greatest ambition for all of us working in this field is to work ourselves out of a job,” said Schweitzer.

tions that were made, I think they’re a start, but I think they’re a long way from fulfilling the needs that are required in the field. They’re definitely a start,” said Louise Schweitzer, executive director of Melfort-based North East Outreach Support and Services.

Not only do the recommendations include increasing resources for victims, they also recommend the creation of programs for people who have abused others.

“The prevention and awareness is, in my opinion, one of the most vital pieces that needs to happen in order to end violence, to try and get ahead of the domestic violence that’s happening, to move us from a reactionary to a preventative and action-based pro-

SASKATCHEWAN LEGISLATURE SPRING SESSION

Goudy loving job in the legislature Devan C. Tasa Journal contributor The Northeast’s newest MLA is loving his job so far.

Todd Goudy, the MLA for Melfort, was elected to his position in a March 1 byelection and participated in his first legislative session, held March 12 to May 31 “It was some of the best experiences of my life so far,” he said. “It was enjoyable.”

The MLA said he’s seeing the people behind the curtain that run the province and is encouraged to see most of them – government and opposition – are there because they want to make a difference, not because it’s a just a job.

“Being a citizen before, watching from the outside, you had your concerns. You wonder, do these people re-

Melfort MLA Todd Goudy ally have my best interest in mind?’” he said. “Now to watch from the inside, it is really encouraging to know that they do have the best interest of the people who live in my constituency in their minds.”

As a new MLA, Goudy said it’s a time for him to learn. For instance, he still has a lot to learn about the rules and traditions that govern the legislature.

“I’ve been out of my desk a few times I wasn’t supposed to. Nobody’s angry at you, but there’s just rules.”

He’s watched cabinet ministers defend themselves in question period, learning the issues the province is facing along the way. The new MLA said he’s also got plenty of mentors to help develop his skills.

“I’ve got 50 people who can teach me and speak into my life and help me mature and understand my role better, so it’s been a real learning experience.”

It also helps, Goudy said,

to have the example of former MLA Kevin Phillips to follow and to have former MLA Rod Gantefoer a phone call away.

As the MLA for Melfort, Goudy’s been focusing on securing the CT scanner that was promised by the province back in 2010 for the Melfort Hospital.

“We want to see that become a reality,” the former member of the Melfort Health Advocacy Committee said.

“There’s no final decision been made yet, but we’re certainly closer today than we were before.”

Goudy said the big hurdle is securing the money needed for the scanner.

As for the province-wide issues that affect the Melfort constituency, Goudy said the

two main ones were stopping a federally imposed carbon tax, which would harm local farmers, and building a pipeline to the West Coast, meaning that trains that are sending oil can be freed up to ship grain.

Goudy said it was a surprise to hear the federal government has made an offer to buy out the Trans Mountain Pipeline, but the premier will work with the prime minister to the benefit of the people of Saskatchewan.

“Our new reality is the federal government made a decision and whether it was good or bad, time will tell,” he said. “We want to work together with them to make sure that the pipeline gets built and starts to deliver oil to the coast.”

Nerlien to focus on rural call service, internet Devan C. Tasa Journal contributor The MLA for Kelvington-Wadena has a new assignment Hugh Nerlien is now serving as the legislative secretary to the minister responsible for SaskTel. Before, his role was focused on public sector bargaining.

“We’re going to be looking at the existing infrastructure across the province for cell service and high speed internet

fusion network,” he said, “and tying into that and expanding that for much better internet services and cellular services to rural communities and rural businesses as we possibly can.”

Nerlien said he’s pleased he’s received the assignment from the premier, calling it a good fit.

“I actually had done some work with the previous legislative secretary that had responsibility on this file last fall and early

winter, so I’m just going to continue that work we had already started,” he said when asked why he thought he got the role.

The MLA also believes that he also got it because he has a vested interest in it as a rural MLA. He said having good cellular and internet connections are key for small and agricultural businesses, for residents’ health and safety, and to help deal with crime issues.

“We’re trying to build

a rural economy around the availability of technology,” he said.

“We’re working hard to get the available technology into rural Saskatchewan and to create the connectivity that people expect today.”

Nerlien also serves on the legislature’s intergovernmental affairs and justice committee, as well as a cabinet committee for the economy and a municipal co-operation committee.

Big session for opposition New Democrats Devan C. Tasa Journal contributor It was a big spring session in the legislature for the opposition New Democrats, with a new leader and a new premier to face off against. “[It’s been a] chance for us to really start to point out some of the challenges that this government has, and start to talk about some of

the things we’d like to achieve,” said Ryan Meili, the NDP’s leader, during a conference call with rural media.

Issues the opposition have focused on this session were the government’s decision to not totally restore the $54 million cut to education from last year ’s budget, a $5 million cut to a supplement to help low

income renters and a $3 million cut to job training programs.

“One of the things that’s difficult to see is when governments are making decisions that are really hurting people and they’re not providing straight answers or really giving people an alternative,” Meili said.

The NDP has been asking questions about

the lack of land sales for the Global Transportation Hub. One victory the New Democrats claimed was the repeal of a law that allowed partial sale of crown corporations.

“The public pushed back hard on that and we were happy it was repealed once and for all,” said Meili.

The leader said his

party has also proposed a law to ban unions and corporations from donating to political parties, increasing the minimum wage and advocating for action on a national pharmacare strategy.

Meili also answered many questions on a federally imposed carbon tax. He said the province is wasting an opportunity to build a made-in-

Saskatchewan solution that meets the federal government’s requirements while protecting farmers and small oil and gas producers.

“The federal government is going to impose this and the fact that [Saskatchewan Premier] Scott Moe is allowing Trudeau to design that policy is reckless and irresponsible.”

Pasture seeding could reduce GHG Devan C. Tasa Journal contributor By incentivizing producers to plant permanent forage instead of annual crops on marginal and saline soils, the province believes it can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 48,000 tons by 2030.

That’s why the provincial agriculture ministry is applying for the federal government’s low carbon economy fund to help pay for that pasture seeding program.

“We estimate there’s about 81,000 acres that could be seeded over three years, starting in 2019 if the project proceeds,” said Bill Greuel, an assistant deputy minister of agriculture.

The assumption is that converting that much land into pasture will reduce greenhouse gas emissions because less nitrogen fertilizer will be used and the plants will sequester carbon.

“That also comes with other environmental

benefits, like improved water quality and increased biodiversity as well,” Greuel said.

The $6.5 million project would be funded with $1.9 million from the province, $1.9 million from the federal government and $2.85 million from producers.

“There would be an application process to the provincial government and we would help producers administer that and they would receive a rebate once

we’ve confirmed the acres that they are seeding and know they’ve put this marginal land back into permanent cover,” Greuel said.

The $2 billion low carbon economy fund includes $1.4 billion to provinces that have adopted a carbon tax or a cap and trade, which is something that Saskatchewan has refused to do. That means that $62 million that was earmarked to Saskatchewan is now being added to a

competitive pot that all jurisdictions can apply for. The province has made 11 applications to the fund.

Greuel said if the pasture seeding program isn’t successful in receiving money, it will be funded in a different manner.

“We do believe this is an important program for producers so we’ll be supporting this either through this joint venture with the low carbon economy fund

or through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, which is a cost-shared program agreement with the federal government.”

The assistant deputy minister also emphasized the province’s environmental plan focuses on more than just greenhouse gases mitigation.

It also looks at economic impacts, resiliency and recovery from extreme climate events, adaptation, and quality of life for Saskatchewan residents.

Vegas continues to defy the odds Here’s how a National Hockey League expansion team is supposed to act in its first year: Play hard. Win the occasional game. Be loveable losers.

Promise their team’s diehard fans a brighter future. Lose a lot and prepare for Year 2.

What’s not supposed to happen is what’s going on with the Vegas Golden Knights, who have set every possible expansion team record and are currently — unbelievably!

— in the Stanley Cup final, causing concern about the Apocalypse, the earth stopping rotation of its axis and dogs suddenly refusing to chase cars.

Here’s what an expansion team’s record is supposed to look like: 8-67-5 (Washington Capitals, 1974-75); 12-60-6 (New York Islanders, 1972-73); 10-70-4 (Ottawa Senators, 1992-93); 14-57-7 (Atlanta

Bruce Penton Thrashers, 1999-2000).

Sure, the expansion drafting rules were different for the Golden Knights than they were for teams 30 and 40 years ago, but maybe that’s what you deserve these days for an expansion fee of $500 million. A chance.

The brilliance of the Vegas braintrust cannot be underestimated. They scouted exceptionally well. They made astute deals (“we’ll promise not to take Player A from your team but you have to give us Player

B, plus a draft pick, in exchange.”) They hired a coach, Gerard Gallant, whom the players love.

He asked them to work harder than the opposition, realizing that effort sometimes trumps talent. He instituted a ‘five-foot’ rule — don’t give your check more than five feet of freedom — and the Knights have followed it. Vegas opponents get a split second to make a decision about what to do with the puck and, if it’s a split second and a half, the Vegas player has disrupted his opponent, stolen the puck, or created a turnover. Resultingly, wins, wins and more wins.

No matter what happens this week as the Stanley Cup championship unfolds, sentimentality will prevail. Vegas has the underdog role locked up, and on the other side of the ice is

Alexander Ovechkin of the Washington Capitals, whose Hall of Fame career is lacking one key ingredient — a Stanley Cup. Hockey fans from coast to coast would love to see Ovechkin finally win a cup, but the ever-increasing number of fans of the Golden Knights don’t see it that way — they want this fairytale season to end with Cinderella wedding the handsome prince and living happily ever after.

And Year 2? Unfortunately, there’s nowhere to go but down if the Golden Knights reach the pinnacle this year.

Such sadness for their fans, who will have to look elsewhere for a brighter future.

Ventures come and ventures go on Sask. prairie It never ceases to surprise me the entrepreneurial spirit of rural Saskatchewan to try to develop new economies.

On a recent trip to the Norquay/Pelly area that reality came into focus once more, as I came upon the construction of a new peat moss facility being built near Norquay.

Just a bit farther east sits the remnants of the alfalfa pelleting plant.

The facility is still in use, by the looks of it as grain storage, but gone are the days of processing alfalfa into pellets for the livestock feed sector.

Calvin Daniels The juxtaposition of a new processing plant being constructed in the virtual shadow of one which no longer functions as anticipated was not lost on me.

There have, through the

years, been a large number of economic development plants pop up across the Canadian Prairies, with a rather wide-range of hits and misses among them.

The little excursion I was on actually illustrated the situation quite well.

Just outside Yorkton, as I headed north is Grain Millers, an oat processor in the midst of a major expansion. They are now part of a large international company, but its Yorkton roots are in the entrepreneurial vision of a local man who began oat processing here. You can mark the overall ef-

fort as about as successful as you might hope for when building a processing plant.

North on Hwy 9 and I passed the corner where I could have turned west to find what began as a processing plant for the waste farm product; flax straw.

The flax straw plant was one which seemed a natural fit, using a renewable fibre source that was generally being burned, to create a variety of products. There was provincial and corporate dollars involved, but it never got to the next level, and after a number of years, closed.

The aforementioned alfalfa plant is interesting in the sense there was a time, back in the 197080s when the industry of dehydrating alfalfa into a useable pellet was a very successful industry.

Plants popped up all over the place. There were, for example, two plans in tiny Zenon Park in northeast Saskatchewan, some 10-miles away one in Arborfield and only slightly further away in the opposite direction one in Tisdale.

Successful for a number of years, the sector died off one-by-one.

While the highway was under a detour, it had been the plan to return to Yorkton through Kamsack, where sits a plant that was built to turn cereal straw into a product which would compete with chip board. Another idea with seeming merit, but it never really got much traction.

There have been lots of ideas, many progressing to the point of production, but sadly most have ultimately failed.

But the peat plant shows the entrepreneurial spirit remains as they hope to be one of the winners.

Crops are beginning to emerge due to recent rain and warm weather, but are still behind the normal developmental stages for this time of year. Additional moisture is needed to replenish pastures and hay land as some producers are still supplementing feed for their cattle.

There were reports of spraying due to flea beetle pressure on canola fi elds in the region.

There was minimal crop damage this week with the majority caused by a lack of moisture, wind and hail.

Producers are busy seeding, starting in-crop herbicide applications and moving cattle to pasture.

The Porcupine Plain area reported 35 mm of rain last week, the Tisdale area 45 mm, the Arborfield 14 mm, the Nipawin area 20 mm, the Bruno area 32 mm, the Vonda area 25 mm, the Melfort area 23 mm, the Birch Hills area 12 mm and the Garrick area 33 mm. The Humboldt area has received the most precipitation (87 mm) in the region since April 1.

To p s o i l m o i s t u r e conditions have improved in the region, although some fields now have excess moisture. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 84 per cent adequate and 14 per cent short.

Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 67 per cent adequate and 33 per cent short.

Crops are slowly emerging and are in poor-to-good condition, depending on moisture received over the past few weeks. The majority of crop damage this past week is attributed to localized flooding, strong winds and insects such as flea beetles in canola.

Crop Report EAST-CENTRAL SASKATCHEWAN Eighty-six per cent of the acres are now seeded in the region, significantly up from 53 per cent seeded last week. This is ahead of the five-year (2013-2017) seeding average of 75 per cent for this time of year. Some producers have finished seeding in the area with others expected to be done within the next week.

The region experienced many scattered showers and warm temperatures throughout the week that has allowed crops to begin germinating. Rainfall ranged from very small amounts to 49 mm in the Esterhazy area. The Rama and Ray-

more areas reported 30 mm of rain, the Lumsden area 45 mm, the Kelvington area 10 mm, the Allan area 6 mm and the Jedburgh area 14 mm. The Craik area has received the most precipitation (83 mm) in the region since April 1.

Topsoil moisture conditions have improved slightly due to the many scattered showers, but additional moisture is still needed. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 2 per cent surplus, 61 per cent adequate, 32 per cent short and 5 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 51 per cent adequate, 41 per cent short and 8 per cent very short.

Despite a few rain delays in the region, producers now have 87 per cent of the crop seeded. This is up from 77 per cent last and is well ahead of the five-year (2013-2017) seeding average of 69 per cent for this time of year. If the weather is favourable, most producers will be wrapping up in the next two weeks.

Rainfall last week ranged from small amounts to 72 mm in the Humboldt area. Most areas received large amounts of rainfall that will help replenish the topsoil and allow hay land and pasture to es-

Whether at a sprint or saunter, see you on the trails How many of you consider yourself runners?

What exactly is considered a runner? Is it someone who regularly runs marathons throughout the year? Someone who logs 10 K each week?

In my opinion a runner is anyone who gets off the couch and moves their body forward in some manner.

I can hear it already; the excuses have started.

“I could never be a runner.” “I don’t have the right body type.” “Running is so boring.” “I’m too out of shape to run.”

Trust me, I’ve heard them all. I’ve also probably said them all at one point too.

Up until about 2010, I hated running. I’m not exaggerating; I really didn’t like it and the only running I did was around the bases in a ball game

Megan Parker or to catch a bus. I used every excuse in the book as to why I didn’t like it or why I would never be a runner.

And then I found myself in a place where all my friends were running and I was too poor as a starving student to afford any other activities so I finally caved and decided to give it a shot.

I downloaded a Couch to 5K app and hit the pavement.

Let me tell you: those first few runs were ter-

rible. I was exhausted, sweating, tired, and could barely catch my breath.

I was walking much more than I was running and it was really slow progress.

But I stuck with it.

Occasionally going out with friends and sometimes on my own, but I managed to train up and I finished my first 10 K race. It was painful and tiring, but I was so proud of myself for completing it.

I continue to keep up with running fairly regularly, but I wouldn’t say I’m an avid runner. I average about 5K every week or so, although I do have running hiatuses throughout the year.

But here’s the truth: I don’t love running. It’s not my passion and I can safely say I doubt I’ll ever have the urge to run a half or full marathon.

So why do I do it? I love being active and running gives me a way to get my sweat on and help with my stamina in other sports. Running gives me a time to be alone with my thoughts to think and ponder. It can give me some alone time.

I’ve also met amazing people through running.

Getting outside on the trails allows me to enjoy nature. And running is another way to show yourself that you can set and achieve goals: just one more step, run to the tree, finish a 5 K, etc.

Even if you run ten steps and need to walk, guess what, you’re running.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret: most people don’t run an entire race or course. They often stop for a walk break. Sure, Olympic

athletes and Boston Marathon qualifiers might not, but most average humans need a breather.

I challenge you to put away the excuses and attempt some running or run/walking.

Be kind to yourself.

We are all on our own journeys. And we all started somewhere. As soon as your lace up those sneakers, you are part of the club. You’re a runner.

Participating in an event can be an amazing experience to see that you are not alone. We may run or walk at our own pace and different distances, but we are all working towards the same finish line.

So, here’s to the ultra marathon runners and those always pushing for a PB (personal best).

Here’s to the first-time racers. To the dad pulling

a wagon the entire way in case one of the kids needs a break.

The toddler getting his parents to say “Ready.

Set. Go” for weeks after his first race. To the mom’s practically sprinting to keep up with their kids on their bikes.

And here’s to those who continue to put one foot in front of the other until they cross the finish line. We’re all runners.

And remember, slow runners make fast runners look good.

See you on the trails.

All aboard the Wheatland Express

By Becky Zimmer Editor The short line rail from Cudworth to Wakaw has a new role within the region with the opening of the Wheatland Express.

Sounds of ‘all aboard’ were heard in Cudworth on June 2 with the ribbon cutting ceremony to launch the first of many excursions aboard the tourist train. Partnering with Great Sandhills Railway Ltd., the Wheatland Express excursion travels from Cudworth to Wakaw and back again with Saskatchewan entertainment and food on board.

Joan Wassill with the Wheatland says the new attraction is providing many opportunities for the surrounding area and Saskatchewan with many new jobs, innovations, and new business ventures coming from the attraction. “Perry Pellerin’s (CEO of Great Sandhills Railway) vision is to have an open door for growth and development,� says Wassill.

Many notable Saskatchewan political figures were in Cudworth

Mayor of Wakaw Steve Skoworodko and Mayor of Cudworth Elaine Olexson cut the ribbon on the regions newest tourist attraction, the Wheatland Express, during the departure of the first excursion to hit the shortline rail on June 2. The train will travel from Cudworth to Wakaw and feature on board Saskatchewan food and entertainment. photo by Becky Zimmer to celebrate Wheatland’s first departure, including David Marit, Minister of Highways and Infrastructure, MP for Carlton Trail Eagle Creek Kelly Block, MLA for Batoche Delbert Kirsch, and various mayors and reeves from the surrounding

areas.

Surrounding communities rallied around the short line to keep it going which is why the day gave them an opportunity to celebrate, says Wassill. “We’re here creating something new and

something diverse together with these communities,� says Wassill.

Marit says this is also a way to preserve the history of Saskatchewan. “The Wheatland Express to me is the perfect example of how we as residents of Saskatche-

wan want to preserve our history and let others see just how we’ve grown to become a province and what we are today.�

Just 15 short line rail lines still exist in Saskatchewan, many of which are community and municipally owned,

says Marit.

Communities want to preserve their short line rail and he is excited to see communities such as Cudworth and Wakaw succeed. In the southern portion of the province, communities are not as successful, he says. “I never want to see another rail lifted from the province of Saskatchewan and down in my part of the world we saw a lot of them being yanked out. I hope we don’t see anymore of that.�

The railway built Canada and Saskatchewan, said Kirsch in a short history of theimportance of the railway in Saskatchewan.

Many people’s ancestors came to Saskatchewan on a rail line, including many in the Cudworth and Wakaw area. Riding the rail now means riding a piece of history, says Kirsch.

The Wheatland Express and their staff are giving people that opportunity, he says. “I hope many more people take the opportunity to experience what is available here.�

Christopher Lee Humboldt Reporter You plop your ball down on a tee and line up your shot. But before you can swing the club your friend calls you on a rules violation for taking too long. Does he have a point?

There are many little known rules to a round of golf. Here are some suggestions to help keep your game clean.

PACE OF PLAY Pace of play is just one of a number of lesser-known rules for everyday golfers.

So how long is too long between shots?

According to Golf Saskatchewan, there is no rule for pace of play, meaning the next time your friend tries to take a stroke from you for taking too long, you can quickly take the stroke back.

Now, if you are golfing in a tournament, some events will place a restriction on the length between strokes, so that will have to be clarified by the golfer prior to tee off.

BALL INTERFERENCE You have hit your shot and find yourself just off the putting surface.

A large pile of sand or soil stands between you and the green.

Can you remove it?

According to Golf Saskatchewan, no.

Sand or soil lying off the putting surface is considered part of the earth, and allowing players to remove it would alter their lie, and create a whole new issue with players taking advantage of the ability to alter the lie of their shot.

Once on the green, though, players are able to move the sand or soil as they please, as the putting surface is

designed specifically for putting, and sand or soil are not commonplace on the greens.

ALTERING THE BALL With the ball now on the green your partner lines up his putt using a line drawn on the golf ball.

That seems like a serious advantage, but is it legal?

Yes. In fact in a small way, it is encouraged. Golf Saskatchewan encourages players to place a mark on your golf ball, to help with the identification process.

With that in mind, there is no restriction on what kind of a mark golfers are encouraged to use, meaning a line is more than acceptable.

As long as you place a marker down in place of your ball, you are free to use the line to line up right up with the hole – or the break if you like.

BROKEN CLUB Now, you have finally worked your way through the front nine of the course, and make the turn.

It has been a tough nine holes, with rules and poor shots running through your head and your tee shot on ten does not go well.

Out of frustration you whack your club off the ground and it breaks.

What happens now?

Nothing.

As the club was broken in a way that was not within the normal course of play, the golfer must complete the round with the broken club.

They do not need to use it, but they cannot replace it either.

Finally, you reach 18 and you watch your ball hit the bottom of the cup one last time.

Go inside and cool off, it was a long rule-filled round.

at a Saskatchewan museum

Becky Zimmer Humboldt Editor Every community has an unique story. The 24 museums in Northeast and East Central Saskatchewan are a fun way to learn that story – but many are only open during the summer.

Saskatchewan museums are open to all ages whether they are tourists or not, says Michelle Brownridge, the Museum Association of Saskatchewan’s community engagement co-ordinator. “They allow people, who are either from the communities they are located in or people who are visiting, to come in and learn something unique that the communities represents.�

Each Saskatchewan village, town and city has their own story and that history

and culture is preserved and celebrated through a Saskatchewan museum, says Brownridge The Saskatchewan narrative includes stories about the pioneers that built the province and the settlement of the prairies but every museum has their own unique objects used to tell these stories, says Brownridge.

It all depends on the museums themselves and what they have chosen to prioritize in their collections and put on display, she says. Many museums, including the Humboldt and District Museum, chose from thousands of archival documents, photos and objects to put on display and decide how they can be exhibited to tell part of the narrative.

Museums also do their best to engage with people in the telling and sharing of stories.

A common misconception about museums are that they are dark, dusty and unchanging places.

Many people think one visit to a local museum is enough, and Brownridge says that is just not true. “A lot of museums throughout the province are making great efforts and strides in keeping their exhibits updated and refreshed and changing for the public that walk in.�

While everyone can hear and learn the stories of Saskatchewan at our museums, another misconception is that they are only for kids, says Brownridge. “While they are interesting and children do have a good time there, museums can be really exciting places for adults to go to as well.�

Whether people are history buffs or just want to learn more about their own home and story, Saskatchewan museums are the place for everyone to visit this summer.

Apps for golfers Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced golfer, there are apps that can help improve your game. Here are a few you can try for free: GOLFSHOT This GPS-powered app can calculate your distance from the hole, allow you to zoom in on satellite images of the course, give you detailed statistics about the game, and inform you of the latest golf news.

(Android and iOS) ZEPP GOLF. Perfect your swing with the help of this app’s personalized advice. Thanks to its video recording and recognition capabilities, you’ll be able to view your own technique and watch your best shots again and again. (Android and iOS) FOURSUM GOLF. This app includes a host of useful tools that calculate your statistics, provide GPS functionality and give you access to discussion forums. (Android and iOS) GOLF MASTER – VIDEO LESSON. As its name suggests, this app lets you access a curated list of video golf lessons that will help you improve your game no matter what level you’re at. (Android)

Saskatchewan museums are a staple in the community, including in Humboldt where the Humboldt and District Museum is not only a proud landmark but also a place where the history of Humboldt is preserved and shared. photo by Becky Zimmer

ATV rally to take advantage of Fort Ă la Corne trails Devan C. Tasa Recorder Editor The Melfort Kinsmen are hoping to take advantage of the large network of ATV trails in the Fort Ă la Corne Forest north of Melfort for a weekend of fun and fundraising.

That’s why the service club is holding its first ATV rally June 16.

Derek Erickson, the chair of the event’s organizing committee, said this is something he’s always wanted to do, as he’s always had fun with snowmobile rallies in the winter. “We’ve noticed there’s a big lack of ATV rallies in the area and we have a beautiful forest to utilize,� he said. “We wanted to get the word

out there and get everybody out there for a great day of family fun.�

The day begins at the Bear’s Den in Gronlid, with registration open until 1 p.m. Before riders get going, they’ll be briefed on the route, which is around 50 miles. “We’ve actually gone through and done a couple of trial runs there to try to find the best trail suited for the day and I think we’ve got a good one picked off,�

Erickson said.

There’s some rules to follow, like making sure no garbage is left in the forest and used cigarettes are put in water bottles to ensure no fires are started. “Because it’s out in the forest, we don’t want to lose the privilege of

being in such a beautiful area.�

At the halfway point in the run, the St. Brieux Kinsmen will host a barbeque.

Once riders get back to Gronlid, there will be prizes, as well as bucket draws and a silent auction.

The money raised will go towards repairing the agricultural hall building on the Melfort Agricultural Society fairgrounds.

The event will go ahead rain or shine.

Erickson said the Kinsmen are hoping this becomes an annual event. “It’ll be a great community event and we think the father ’s day weekend is a great weekend for the family to come out and come for a ride on the trails.� editor@tisdalerecorder.ca

FORT À LA CORNE FOREST

The Fort Ă la Corne Forest, located along the Saskatchewan River north of Gronlid, features a vast network of ATV trails on both sides of the river, accessible from Highway #6.

Riders should be aware the Melfort Cross-Country Ski Club’s trails, are also in the area, aren’t for ATV use and are chained off.

SOMME TRAIL

A 37.7 mile loop through the for-

est begins at Somme, a small hamlet along Highway #23 east of Porcupine Plain.

MIDDLE LAKE RAILROAD TRAIL

This 14 mile trail begins in Pilger on Highway #20 and goes north along the railroad track to Middle Lake.

TOBIN LAKE

A 51-mile trail can be found along the north end of the lake, starting along Highway #35 and ending near the EB Campbell Dam.

Camping in the rain Mother Nature isn’t always on our side when it comes to camping. The key to having a great time despite the rain? Preparation!

WHAT TO BRING Check that your tent is in good repair, paying special attention to the seams. Pack a plastic tarp or canvas for extra shelter (a covered cooking area, for example) or to put under your tent for added protection. Choose as high a campsite as possible to make sure your space doesn’t flood.

Protect yourself as well. Umbrellas, raincoats, boots, warm socks and flipflops can all be useful!

HOW TO HAVE FUN Bring whatever you think will keep you occupied while in the tent: travel versions of board games, playing cards, books, colouring books, tablets, etc. In addition to the games you bring, there will probably be a common area at your campground that may have a pool table or a foosball table.

To keep rainy day boredom at bay, make a list of interesting places near your camp before you leave. Museums, movie theatres, bowling alleys, restaurants and trails (a walk in the rain can be charming!) are all great options.

Don’t leave all your clothes in the tent. If water happens to get in, you’ll have nothing to wear but your backpack!

Be prepared by making a list of what you’ll need beforehand.

THE CAMPSITE tent, hammer, sleeping bags, pillows, mattresses, air pump, extra blankets, tarp, rope, a little broom, etc.

SAFETY Flashlights and batteries, complete first aid kit, sunscreen, pocket knife, whistle, etc.

FOOD water bottle, cooking utensils, cutting board, can opener, pots, oven mitts, dish soap, portable stove, garbage bags, aluminum foil, etc.

CLOTHING Raincoat, warm clothes, sandals, swimsuit, hiking boots, pants, sunglasses, hat, pyjamas, underwear, etc.

HYGIENE soap, shampoo, toothbrush, deodorant, toilet paper, towels, clothespins, detergent, hairbrush, mirror, etc.

CAMPFIRE newspaper, lighter, hatchet, folding chairs, etc.

FUN guide books, games, books, sports equipment if you have any activities planned, etc.

Psst! Don’t forget your camera and charger!

with the Saskatchewanderer Becky Zimmer Humboldt Editor Summer might just be beginning, but Kevin Dunn has already travelled 7,214 kilometres as this year’s S a s k a t c h e w a n d e re r, looking for the best spots for fun in the province.

Dunn was hired in January by Tourism Saskatchewan, tasked with exploring the province and recording his journey through photos, videos and words.

Because of what he does – and his experiences travelling the province before he was hired – Dunn is a strong advocate for the Saskatchewan staycation.

One of his favourites is Lake Diefenbaker and all of the fun opportunities on one of the many Saskatchewan lakes.

From the over 500 kilometres of shoreline to the Douglas, Saskatchewan Landing

and Donaldson provincial parks, there is always something fun to do, says Dunn.

“You can either be biking or hiking, exploring the sand dunes at Douglas or cruising or sailboating on the lake, I choose that area because you don’t have to stay in one specific place. There’s a lot that you can do that’s surrounding you close by.”

Even though he has yet had an opportunity to stop by, Dunn has heard of the many great fishing opportunities in Northeast and East Central Saskatchewan.

“All throughout the province, fishing is huge. It’s one of those big destination spots where we have numerous lakes to go to and the activities that are involved in that.”

Dunn was hired to show off the beauty and opportunities Saskatchewan has to offer and this region isn’t an exception.

One event Dunn was excited to take part in is the Wheatland Express

grand opening in Cudworth, a hands-on experience for everyone to learn about rail safety education.

While Dunn has p a s s e d t h ro u g h t h e area many times, this summer he does have an eye on possible adventures in the East C e n t r a l re g i o n , i n cluding Humboldt’s Summer Sizzler and Streetfest.

“Those are the ideas that have come across to me and I do put them down in my calendar t h a t a re t e n t a t i v e l y planned.”

Dunn is always open for ideas on where he can have a Saskatchewan adventure.

Kevin Dunn has made thousands of kilometres across the province as the new Saskatchewanderer.

Even before being hired by Tourism Saskatchewan, Dunn was as advocate for the Saskatchewan staycation. photo courtesy of Kevin Dunn

Nipawin Great Northern Pike Festival won the Premier’s Cup and the Vanity Cup. It was when he moved next to Doug Hidlebaugh, who was one of the key organizers of the festival for many years, back in 2001 that he got his current position. “He asked me if I would be the tagmaster and I said sure.�

Since then, Hrychuk kept with it because it’s something he loves doing.

How does Hrychuk get all of the pike tagged in time for the festival? He recruits members of the media coming from all over the province that’s invited each year to promote the event.

This year, one day after a day of golf, the media will go out on the lakes June 4 on 15 boats and fish all day.

When a pike’s caught, the captain of the boat will weigh the fish, measure its length, note where it was caught and released and the number of the tag assigned to it.

Members of the media

Devan C. Tasa Recorder Editor Each year, 40 pike are tagged and released into Tobin and Codette Lakes for the Nipawin Great Northern Pike Festival.

Matt Hrychuk is responsible for making sure they get tagged. “I love it when people catch the tagged fish because then you know you did your job,� the tagmaster said.

The festival, in its 49th year, begins on June 17 and goes until Sept. 30.

Registration is $5 and can be done at various Nipawin businesses.

Those that catch fish tagged this year will receive $250 right off the bat. Depending on the number on the tag, they could also win an ATV, a fishing trip and cash prizes. If the tag’s from the previous year, the prize is $100. The fish itself is meant to be released back into the water once the tag’s removed.

Hrychuk himself is an avid fisherman who’s

are there to witness all of this.

With that information, when a tagged fish is caught, the festival can make sure it’s legit. “After the media day, if all of the tags aren’t tagged, I’ll go out the next day and tag the rest of the tags myself,�

Hrychuk said. “There’s not too many left. I just clean up one or two tags.�

Last year, two fish with tags from that year and two fish with tags

from the previous year were caught. The most tagged fish Hrychuk has seen is nine in one year.

The tagmaster said he hoped fishers going after the tags have fun. “I hope the fishermen enjoy going out there and catching the fish on Tobin and catch a tagged fish and win a prize,� he said, adding that when he sees the smile on a winner’s face, it’s a sign of success for the festival. editor@tisdalerecorder.ca

McGrath selected in ninth round of WHL draft

By Christopher Lee Reporter As a 14-year-old hockey player there is not much greater dream than being drafted to the Western Hockey League but for LeRoy’s Connor McGrath, that dream became a reality.

McGrath, a 5’5” 105lb forward was selected in the ninth round 196th overall by the Everett Silvertips at the WHL Bantam Draft in Red Deer on May 3.

“It was a pretty surreal feeling at first. I was pretty excited that I got drafted to them,” admitted McGrath.

The LeRoy native admitted to not expecting to get a call, but said going to a team like Everett, who were steps away from appearing in the Memorial Cup, is pretty exciting.

“I’d just be excited to get drafted but they’re a pretty interesting club and they have a very good organization.”

In his second season with the Humboldt Bantam AA Broncos, the 14-yearold enjoyed an excellent season posting 22 goals, and 31 assists for 53 points in 31 games, to lead his team in scoring.

In four playoff games the LeRoy native added three assists.

While McGrath was busy posting gaudy numbers offensively, he says his combination of work ethic and offensive ability combined are two things he thinks he will be able to bring to the Silvertips in the future.

That future will not start in September however, as McGrath will be ineligible to play in the WHL, with rules stating players must be 16 to play full-time, without special exemption.

With that in mind, McGrath says he recently signed to play with Prairie Hockey Academy in the

fall, with his eyes set on making their Elite-15 roster.

While there, McGrath says the keys will be for him to continue working hard.

“I’ve just got to get stronger… and hopefully just get the opportunity and just keep working hard and practicing every aspect of my game to make me better.”

While he will not be able to make the WHL roster full-time this fall, McGrath will be spending some time in the WHL in the fall, as he noted he expects to attend their fall training camp, a move he says will be crucial for his development.

“It will be a pretty important experience and it will be a fun experience for me… Just to see my competition and how everybody is down there and what it’s like and just how to keep getting better to be at that level that the WHL players are there.”

LeRoy’s Connor McGrath screams in celebration after scoring a goal during Bantam AA action with the Humboldt Broncos last season.

McGrath recently had more reason to celebrate as he was selected in both the WHL and SJHL drafts. photo by Christopher Lee

Bisons earn weekly split

Red Sox sweep weekend doubleheader 7-1 win.

By Christopher Lee Reporter After losing five of six games, the Muenster Red Sox bounced back in a huge way, as they knocked off the North West Prairie Pirates in a doubleheader in Muenster on June 2.

GAME 2

GAME 1 The Red Sox kicked off the doubleheader on a high note as they knocked off the Prairie Pirates 7-1.

Kyle Froehlich was excellent on the mound for the Red Sox, as the Nipawin native pitched a complete game, allowing just one earned one, and three hits, while walking two and striking out nine.

Jayden Huls led the way offensively for the Red Sox driving in three runs, and finishing the afternoon 2-for2, while Drew Bauml chipped in with two more runs batted in, as he finished 2-for-4. The contest got off to a slow start, as neither team managed to register a run until the Red Sox scored a pair in inning three.

Muenster Midget AAA Red Sox pitcher Matthew McGrath delivers a pitch during Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League action in Muenster. It was a solid week for McGrath and his Red Sox teammates as they picked up wins in each of their two games, thanks in large part to a complete game three-hitter by McGrath. photo by Christopher Lee ster quickly put any end to any thought of a Prairie Pirates comeback, as they scored once in the fourth and

four more times in the fifth to grab a 7-1 lead. Froehlich shut the door the rest of the way to lead the Red Sox to a

After cruising to an easy win in the front half of the doubleheader, the Red Sox carried that momentum through the back half as well, as they knocked off the Prairie Pirates 6-1 to complete the sweep.

Matthew McGrath was excellent on the mound again for the Red Sox as he pitched his second complete game in as many weeks, allowing just one earned run on three hits and three walks, while striking out four. The contest marked the second straight game that McGrath allowed just a single earned run.

After pitching a gem in the first contest, Froehlich did his damage with the bat in game two, as he finished the afternoon 2-for-3 at the dish with two runs scored and two runs batted in, courtesy of a pair of home runs.

The Red Sox jumped out of the gate early scoring a trio of first inning runs, and never looked back as they tacked on singles in the third, fifth and sixth innings, before cruising to a 6-1 win.

By Chris Lee • Reporter It was a decent week for the Bruno Bisons, who despite the rain, managed to pick up a win in one of two contests.

VS. ROYALS It was an excellent start to the week for the Bisons as they routed the Royals 8-1 on May 28 at Stonebridge South in Saskatoon.

Nathan Wourms picked up the win on the mound for the Bisons pitching four strong innings, before Graham Broadfoot came on the record the final nine outs.

Joel Kowalchuk and Jason McRae led the way offensively for the Bisons, as they each chipped in with four hits in the win.

VS. BREWERS After knocking off the Royals earlier in the week, the Bisons failed to make it two straight as they suffered a 9-6 loss to the Brewers on May 31 in Leakos Field.

Royals win 3 of 4 to open senior baseball season

By Christopher Lee Reporter After enjoying a bye in the first week of the Saskatoon Senior Baseball League season, the Marysburg Royals kicked off their 2018 campaign with four games in five days.

The loaded schedule did not faze the Royals, as they picked up wins in three of the four contests.

VS. DIGGERS The Royals kicked off their season on a high note, knocking off the Diggers 14-3 on May 29 in Saskatoon.

The new guys led the way offensively for the Royals.

First-year player Brody Frerichs finished with a pair of hits, will fellow first year John Lawrence also chipping in two hits

and four runs batted in.

Nick Anderson was excellent on the mound for the Royals, pitching a complete game to pick up the win.

VS. DODGERS After picking up a win in their opening contest, the Royals fell painfully short of making it two straight as they suffered a 4-3 loss to the Dodgers

in Saskatoon.

After struggling at times with their defense last season, errors reared their ugly head once again as the Royals’s four runs surrender all came unearned.

Brody and Thomas Lessmeister were solid on the mound for the Royals as they combined to pitch a complete game, while allowing no earned

runs.

VS. DIGGERS The Royals wrapped up their week on a high note as they knocked off the Diggers in each of the two game doubleheader in Marysburg.

The home opening weekend went exactly how the Royals planned, as they picked up wins of 11-0 and 8-1.

Carter Frerichs, Lessmeister, Nick Anderson, and Colin Bauml were excellent on the mound for the Royals, as the quartet combined to allow just one run in 14 innings of baseball.

Next for the Royals is a game against the Hoppers on June 5 before playing an Outlaws home doubleheader on June 10.

TRUEBY: Gregory June 3, 1953 - May 23, 2018 The passing of Gregory I. Trueby of Saskatoon, SK, (and formerly of St. Gregor, SK, and Humboldt, SK), occurred at Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon, on Wednesday, May 23, 2018. He was 64 years of age. Greg was born on June 3, 1953, to Oscar and Mary (nee Steinke) Trueby. He lived on the family farm southwest of St. Gregor and attended school in Muenster, SK. From youth into adulthood he farmed on his own farm next to the family’s land. Ailments in early adulthood relocated him to Humboldt to be closer to his parents. He lived there for nearly two decades before his final move to Saskatoon. His residence eventually landed him in Mila Obillo Oei and family’s carehome. In the last decade, Greg was able to find balance in health and remained a marathon like walker throughout. Greg will be lovingly remembered by his niece Mary Brant (Lyle), and two nephews, Matthew and Eve Brant, and Morgan and Leslie Brant. He was predeceased by his parents, Oscar and Mary (nee Steinke) Trueby; and by his two sisters: Mary Anne Trueby, and Isabell (nee Trueby) Brant. The Funeral Mass was offered at St. Gregory R.C. Church, St. Gregor, on Saturday, June 2, 2018, at 10:00 a.m., celebrated by Fr. Anthony Atter. Others taking part were: Mary Brant, crossbearer; Joan Moellenbeck, scripture reader; Joan Moellenbeck, intentions. Pallbearers were Matthew Brant, Morgan Brant, Brandyn Brant, and Wilfred Moellenbeck. Interment followed at St. Gregory R.C. Cemetery. Memorial donations may be directed to the St. Gregory Parish Memorial Fund.
