Classic cars for classic generation

By Becky Zimmer Editor Recreation coordinator Lori-Ann Tkachuk Hudon wanted to give St. Brieux’s Chateau Providence residents and members of the community a car show, which is how the first Big Ol’ Car Show on July 26 came to be. Around 18 cars came out for the show with the oldest being a 1934 Ford Coupe shown by Rob Dudar and the youngest being a 1989 Chevy short box shown by owner Tim Bulicz.

Tkachuk Hudon always takes as many residents as possible to the Melfort show and shine. It is difficult to

get enough volunteers to assist the residents, she says. While they still drive through the show it is just not the same.

Tkachuk Hudon thought what better way to give their residents and the community a chance to see a car show than to put one on themselves.

“It’s great to have all these young people and people in general here for my residents to enjoy.

They love getting out, seeing everyone, and the old cars.”

The Canalta Group, which includes A&W locations from Nipawin, Tisdale, Humboldt, and Melfort were a big help,

fered a bit more fun for more of the car show visitors.

The event raised $2,000 for the eventual community owned Handi-van, which Tkachuk Hudon is very excited about.

Staff worked hard to ensure all the Chateau Providence residents could safely get out and see the cars and they deserve a big thanks, says Tkachuk Hudon.

Through fundraising, donations, and grants, Tkachuk Hudon says the community has been able to raise $100,000 of the $120,000 needed to purchase a new wheelchair accessible van.

she says with Jesse Storoschuk stepping in to lend a hand providing food and support.

Helping out and giving back to the community is part of their drive, says Storoschuk.

“Almost everybody I work with gives a darn about their community.

It really comes back to who we’re serving in the area and who’s served us in the past.”

Storoschuk is happy to bring back the classic cars to the residents who do not have many opportunities to see the classic cars.

Also included in the event was a 12 booth tradeshow which of-

NEWS Humboldt jersey visits Bronco families

By Becky Zimmer Editor It was a small gesture that took a custom made jersey and many kilometres and volunteers to complete.

But it was something that Daniell Gitzler wanted to do for the Humboldt Broncos.

They were just kids chasing a dream, he said of the Broncos, and an accident like that could have happened anywhere to any team. It could have even happened to his kids or step-kids.

Gitzler got his custom made, camo print, #16 Humboldt jersey ready the day before heading out to the first Tampa Bay Lightning playoff game against New Jersey on April 12.

What started as him honouring the Broncos with the jersey with the Humboldt name plate

From Tampa Bay to Lake Lenore, the Humboldt Jersey is making its way to the Humboldt Broncos family after starting out in Tampa Bay during the Lightning’s playoff run. Pictured (L to R) Back: Dee and Janelle Glessman. Front: Eric, Carol, and Lyle Brons. photo courtesy of Carol Brons became a drive to get the jersey to as many playoff games and hockey events as possible.

“I got a really good response to wearing it to the first game and then I decided I want-

Wild Parsnip nothing new in Humboldt RM

By Becky Zimmer Editor Wi l d P a r s n i p h a s been a common sight on social media with many people posting about recent run-ins with the noxious weed.

Humboldt RM Reeve Larry Ries says they have had wild parsnip for years with f o u r s m a l l a re a s o f the RM being trouble spots.

“The sap in the stem, leaves and flowers increases skin’s sensitivity to ultraviolet light which can result in severe, painful seconddegree chemical burns, blisters, rashes and dermatitis. The plant’s chemicals can also reduce weight gain and fertility in livestock that eat it,” according to the Saskatchewan invasive Species Council fact sheet.

Only a few chemicals will help destroy i t , i n c l u d i n g ro u n d up, Ries says, even though it takes some time for the chemical to take effect.

The RM has elected to mow it, which can be a two-year process, says Ries. RM mowers will be out in the next couple days to take care of some patches

before they go to seed.

“It’s not something to play with (and) if y o u h a v e i t a ro u n d your farm or acreage, it’s something you need to be aware of,” says Ries.

While the Invasive Species council states that wild parsnip should not be considered a forage option, Ries says he has been told by members of agricultural organizations that it would take a lot before wild parsnip would actually harm cattle. In many cases, Ries has seen

cattle decide not to graze on the weed.

The Humboldt RM is part of the invasive weed program where staff will go out and cut all invasive weeds before going to seed, including Wild Parsnip.

Anyone coming into contact with wild parsnip is encouraged to wear long pants, closed shoes, and gloves when handling it.

There are some similar weeds that are often confused for wild parsnip, says Ries, including baby’s breath, or wild and tame dill.

ed to try and make all the Lightning playoff Stanley Cup games. I started to find volunteers

to wear the jersey to the next game and then road games. It just went from there.”

Gitzler found as many people as possible to take the jersey during the playoffs, including some playoff games in New Jersey and Boston, as well as the Stanley Cup final games in both Las Vegas and Washington.

Through the work of volunteers, the jersey also made its way to the NHL Awards with the Humboldt Bronco players, the Memorial Cup in Regina, the Canalta Cup with Estevan against Nipawin, the Straz Strong benefit concert, and the Calder cup for the AHL playoffs with the Syracuse Crunch.

Right now, the jersey is making its rounds with the Humboldt Broncos families with the Leicht’s, the Brons’, the Gobeil’s, and the Matechuk fami-

lies so far all adding their names to the growing number of signatures.

Carol Brons’ daughter, Dayna, was the athletic therapist with the team who passed away shortly after the April 6 bus crash.

Watching the jersey as it traveled across the United States and Canada, Brons was interested in how connected the hockey world is.

“We were honoured to add Dayna’s name to the Jersey. Janelle (Dayna’s older sister) also took the jersey and had Neal Demmans, Dayna’s Supervising Athletic Therapist, sign it as well,” said Carol in a Facebook message.

After Gitzler is finished sending the jersey around North America, it will be given to the H u m b o l d t B ro n c o s , hopefully before the start of the 2018-2019 season.

GLOBAL TRANSPORTATION HUB

Evidence of criminal wrongdoing not found The Saskatchewan RCMP has announced they have found no evidence to support criminal charges in connection to land transactions for the Global Transportation Hub. The investigation began in February 2016 and examined transactions that took place between March 2012 and April 2014. The investigative team consisted of as many as 10 members, with all of them experienced in commercial crime and fraud-related investigations.

“As the investigating

police agency, our responsibility was to determine if any criminal wrongdoing took place, setting aside perception and publicity and focusing on the evidence,” said Supt. Paul Saganski, federal criminal operations officer. “As such, the evidence did not support the laying of criminal charges. Therefore, the RCMP is no longer actively investigating this matter.”

Back in June 2016, the provincial auditor presented a report that showed that 41 acres was purchased at a cost of $1.2 million in February 2013,

followed by 204 acres that was purchased at a cost of $21 million in March 2014 – about 3.5 times more per acre. The auditor concluded the Global Transportation Hub administration needed to better co-ordinate its land purchases to save taxpayers money.

Ryan Meili, the leader of the opposition New Democrats, said in a statement that just because no charges have been laid doesn’t mean there was no wrongdoing. He added his party continues their call for a full judicial inquiry on the matter.

OPINIONS The bet’s on Mookie to win A.L. MVP No one by the name of Mookie has ever won a Most Valuable Player award.

There’s been a Buster (Posey, 2012), a Dustin, a Justin and a Vladimir (Guerrero, 2004), an Ichiro and an Ivan (Rodriguez, 1999); a Robin, a Rollie and a Rod (Carew, 1977), a Boog, a Zoilo and a Nellie (Fox, 1959), but nary a Mookie.

There’s been a Marty, a Mort and a Spud (Chandler, 1943), but M o o k i e Wi l s o n , t h e only other MLBer named ‘Mookie’ that we know of, never won an MVP crown.

Baseball has crowned a Dizzy, a Dazzy and a Gabby, but no Mookie.

But that could all change in 2018.

Mookie Betts of the Boston Red Sox a n d M i k e Tr o u t o f Anaheim Angels are separating themselves from the pack and appear headed for a two-man race for MVP. History says a player on a pennantwinning team usually has an advantage in

Bruce Penton a close race, which means Betts — whose R e d S o x a re a l m o s t guaranteed to make the post-season — should have the edge when voting takes place in October.

W h e re w o u l d t h e Red Sox be without Betts, their sensational rightfi elder? His stats are stratospheric, as are Trout’s. The Angel, who has won two MVP crowns, including the 2016 title when he beat out runner-up Betts, is generally regarded as the best player in the game, but Betts’ star is shining brighter this year.

At the all-star break, Betts’ lead in batting average (.362) was 27 percentage points. He

was second to Trout in on-base percentage and No. 1 (by a whopp i n g 5 0 p e rc e n t a g e points) in slugging.

Naturally, he was a runaway leader in OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging), with Trout No. 2.

Boston, whose offseason signing of J.D. Martinez has certainly helped, ran up a 4 1/2-game lead over t h e Ya n k e e s i n t h e American League East.

They have by far the best record in all of Major League Baseball and are the overpowering favourites to win the World Series in manager Alex Cora’s first season at the helm.

But if you’re placing a wager in Vegas on who will win the A.L. MVP, bet on Betts.

Finally, a ‘Mookie’ is bound be engraved on the trophy.

• RJ Currie of sportsdeke.com: “The Tampa Bay Times printed a list of ‘investigations, suspensions and allegations’ involving Jameis Winston — a total of nine. If stupid

was ice, Winston would be Antarctica.”

• Jack Finarelli, aka the Sports Curmudgeon: “On a recent ESPN telecast of a Yankees/Red Sox game, Brett Gardner beat out an infield hit. Analyst Jessica Mendoza said that he did that ‘by using his feet to get down the line.’ I was unaware of the rule change that allows players to opt for a Segway to take them to first base.”

• Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “New Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper says he’s ‘contractually obligated’ to keep a 13-foot-high s t a t u e o f p re d e c e s sor Jerry Richardson, fined $2.75 million by the NFL for racial and sexual abuse, outside the team’s stadium. Here’s guessing there’ll be a huge spike in local pigeon-coop sales.”

• Headline at TheOnion.com: “Robinson Cano: ‘I Deeply Apologize For Using Performance

E n h a n c e r s To M a k e This Boring Game More Awesome’” • Greg Cote of the Miami Herald: “The Tour de France was a lot more interesting when every stage featured PED suspensions and spent needles all over the course “ • Randy Turner of the Winnipeg Free Press, on Twitter: “People criticizing Phoenix for taking on the contracts of Marian Hossa, Chris Pronger and Pavel Datsyuk are going to look pretty stupid when the Coyotes win the 2008 Stanley Cup.” • RJ Currie again: “Happy 64th birthday to Montreal Expos Hall-of-Famer Andre Dawson. It’s a shame Dawson didn’t get to play for San Francisco — Andre the Giant has a ring to it.”

• Late night funnyman Jimmy Fallon of NBC: “France won the World Cup and they were led by a 19-yearo l d p ro d i g y n a m e d Kylian Mbappe. After the game, Mbappe said winning the World Cup

totally makes up for being named after a Hanson song.”

• Dwight Perry again: “Ex-NBA player Charles Oakley was arrested on a gamblingfraud charge at a Las Vegas casino after allegedly getting caught on camera trying to take back a $100 chip from a losing hand. Which probably means he’s not known in betting circles as Ante Oakley.”

• Bob Molinaro of pilotonline.com (Hampton, Va.): “As for Exhibit A on why the National League might want to consider the DH, consider that pitchers are hitting .113 this season.”

• Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel, after Aaron Gordon said signing his fouryear, $76 million contract with the Magic ‘brought tears to my eyes.’ “The first confirmed case of someone who actually was crying all the way to the bank.”

Shudder through ag sector with Trump subsides You don’t have to have been involved in agriculture all that long to recall that the biggest detriment to Canadian farm exports used to be subsidies paid by the United States and the European Union.

The two sides were battling for markets by undercutting each other to attract buyers, and then backfilling losses to their farmers by cutting subsidy cheques out of government accounts.

For Canada it was a case of being caught in the middle, forced to sell low, but without the financial resources of the two big players to bolster

Calvin Daniels farm accounts with a subsidy.

It took years to level the playing field in large part thanks to framework deals such as the North American Free Trade Agreement which put in place some common sense rules to trade.

That is not to suggest NAFTA, or any other trade deal between trading partners, is flawless, and disputes do arise, but they are at least a foundation to keep trade flowing under a set of agreed to rules.

And trade deals did help reduce subsidy wars, evolving farm trade beyond a wild west atmosphere where sales were often made by cutting someone a cheque on the side either to support framers or offset costs for the buyer.

Enter American president Donald Trump and the wild and woolly west reappears.

Trump seems to operate by one guiding principle in terms of business, never sign a deal where you don’t come out the big winner.

Some might suggest that is the crux of business, but if you win by limiting the trade partner’s ability to also make a reasonable dollar you could end up without partners to deal with.

Trump doesn’t seem to care.

So NAFTA has been reopened and sits in tatters with little likelihood it will be resuscitated anytime soon.

And on a grander scale Trump’s posturing

has thrown the United States into what has fast become a full-scale global trade war.

Tru m p i s a l re a d y at loggerheads with China, Mexico, Europe and Canada, and that is highly disruptive to trade in general, and it is having an impact on the agriculture sector specifically.

The impact is having a blow back effect on American farmers too, so the US has announced it is going to prop up the sector with those frightful subsidies.

in federal aid programs for farmers to help them cope with declining prices and falling demand for American soybeans, pork, fruits, and other crops, demand lost based on Trump’s high-handed approach to trade.

This move has to send a shudder through the farm sector because it is one of those things that producers have no control over, but that can affect profitability in a major way. Subsidies are not a trade mechanism where Canada can reasonably compete, nor is it a way to facilitate reasonable trade between partners.

COMMUNITY St. Peter’s welcomes Sagehill for retreat

By Becky Zimmer Editor Writers from across Canada descended upon St. Peter ’s Abbey this past weekend for the Sagehill Writer’s Retreat.

Thirty-four writers will be creating literary works of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry throughout their 10 days at St. Peter’s Abbey. The writers were at the abbey until July 28.

Sagehill kicked off their time at the abbey with Saskatchewan grown instructors Daniel Scott Tysdal, Sandra Ridley, and Jacqueline Baker all reading from their own works on July 20 while instructor Jeanette Lynes and instructor and keynote speaker Tanis MacDonald shared their work on July 22.

Many of the writers are new to the art but are not completely inexperienced in writing, says Tysdal. Instructing them in his introductory course with Lynes is like a Wizard of Oz experi-

Instructors for the Sagehill Writing Retreat took time to read from their own works during the Sagehill Summer Reading event on July 20. The retreat brought 34 writers to Muenster for their 10-day retreat. Pictured (L to R): Daniel Scott Tysdal, Sandra Ridley, and Jacqueline Baker. photo by Becky Zimmer ence, he says.

“They’re all at that point of starting out and introducing all the tools that they already know about…We’re just showing them that (their heart and courage) is already

there.”

For Baker and Ridley, they are working with writers who are already in the thick of their manuscripts so they are being shown the many different worlds their students

are working on creating.

It has been fun to show authors from Vancouver to Halifax this part of the prairies, says Sagehill executive director Tara Dawn Solheim.

They will take a bit of

Saskatchewan back with them when they leave for home, she says, the abbey location becomes integrated into the writing.

Writers are often isolated so giving them an opportunity to network

and meet new, lifelong friends in a community is a great, but rare, part of providing the retreat, says Solheim.

So many writers are on current projects when they come to Sagehill and with small classes they are given the opportunity for one-on-one time with instructors.

Solheim hopes this gives writers the chance to take their project to the next step.

“That’s the interesting and exciting thing that happens here for everyone…it’s an incubator for writers.”

The abbey was actually a plan B considering there was a fire at their usual summer retreat spot, the Living Skies Retreat and Conference Centre in Lumsden back in the spring.

They were welcomed to the abbey with open arms through Fr. Demetrius Wasylyniuk and they are very grateful for that welcome, says Solheim.

KELVINGTON AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY

Kelvington hits milestone with this year’s ag fair

By Becky Zimmer Editor The Kelvington Agricultural Society is keeping their tradition alive with their 95th annual agricultural fair and race meet Aug. 3-5.

S o c i e t y p re s i d e n t Rylan By says that there is something for everyone, which is why he thinks they have been successful in keeping it going over the years.

Getting people of all ages through the gates

ensures everyone wants to come back in years to come, he says.

“We do a lot of horse events with the chuck wagon races and the gymkhana and the show ring. But also baseball is huge draw in for us with slo-pitch on Saturday and men’s fastball on Sunday.”

Team sports are going to bring a lot of people out to events with around 40 teams competing in the chuck

wagon races, around 15 entries for the third annual tractor pull, and eight to 10 teams competing in the slo-pitch tournament, says By. Also included in the weekend is live music, kids event, and the exhibit hall.

The fair is a draw for many people within a two-hour radius around Kelvington, he says, as well as additional people from around the province. Ry says they

have even had people from as far as British Columbia either making a special trip down or visiting the area during the fair.

Local businesses are sure to be busy with everyone coming into Kelvington for the various events. From Thursday to Sunday, By says people notice how busy it gets for everyone in town.

“Hopefully people are coming and shop-

ping around while they have a little bit of time to kill. It’s awesome for local businesses to get other people through the doors.”

By is glad to give people the opportunity to come out and take part in the fair, especially before local farmers are busy with harvest time.

The fair is like a celebration to the end of summer, he says.

“People come to the fair and then it’s usual-

ly you finish up haying and then you’re going to be in the field and combining before you know it.”

The society is always looking for new and better ideas to get people out to Kelvington for their next fairs, especially their next big milestone, their 100th anniversary. By says they will be happy to see people step up and bring something new to the celebration.

Local musicians set to boogie in Kenaston

By Becky Zimmer Editor There will be some familiar faces at the 7th annual Hillbilly Boogie Music Festival in Kenaston with the Living Skies Teen Vocal showcase final on August 4.

Humboldt’s Ethyn Beggs and Bruno’s Makayla Glessman will be taking the stage after competing in the Living Skies Teen Vocal Showcase sponsored by SaskMusic and held in Humboldt on June 24.

Five singers were chosen from the competition, including Glessman, and four winners were also chosen from a Regina competition on July 8.

It was a stiff competition in Humboldt and Glessman wanted to put her best foot forward, she says. “(I) brought out songs that I know I’m comfortable with and just sang my heart and did the best I could and see what came out in the end.”

Glessman was shocked to hear her name consid-

ering the level of talent at the competition.

Beggs would be the lone wild card entry after judges chose one from both competitions.

Beggs was the first one up at the Humboldt competition and was a bit nervous about not knowing what to expect. Although he was happy to receive the wild card entry, he did think he blew the competition hearing the judges feedback. He will be taking their advice when it comes to his next performance, he says.

There was many great performances in the Humboldt competition and Beggs is looking forward to hearing all the competition winners perform, including winners from Regina that he have not seen perform.

“There was a lot of good talent there. Lots of original songs played by the people.

Some of them were really good.”

Glessman has been to the Boogie in previous years and is looking forward to the fun and new people she will meet.

Bisons playoff hopes dashed in loss to Rhinos

By Christopher Lee Reporter The Bruno Bisons’ tough stretch continues after the club dropped a 5-2 decision to the defending league champion Wombats on July 24 at Stonebridge North in Saskatoon.

Calvin Foltz picked up the win on the mound for the Wombats, while Landon Suchan chipped in with two hits in the win.

VS. RHINOS The Bruno Bisons’ hopes of a shot at the playoffs disappeared with an 8-4 loss to the Rhinos on July 26 at Stonebridge South in Saskatoon.

The Bisons came into the contest with the Rhinos knowing it was due or die, with the winner earning the final playoff spot in the Saskatoon Men’s Baseball League’s A Division.

The Bisons got off to a hot start, jumping out to an early 3-0 lead, but the offense dried up the rest of the way as the club managed just one more run in the loss.

VS. SELECTS T h e B ru n o B i s o n s put the finishing touches on a tough 2018 Saskatoon Men’s Baseball League season with an 11-4 loss to the Selects on July 27 at Stonebridge North in Saskatoon.

The Muenster A’s captured the U19 “C” Provincial silver medal in Regina July 13-15. The A’s rolled through the preliminary round, knocking off the Kerrobert KDL Capitals 15-8, the Regina Falcons 10-3, and the Wadena Wildcats 12-2.

Thanks to their three wins, the A’s qualified directly into the provincial final, where they took on Kerrobert. Unfortunately for the A’s despite reaching the final with a 3-0 record, the club was forced to settle for silver after losing 13-9 to Kerrobert in the provincial final.

Thanks to their 0-3 week, the Bisons wrap up their regular season with a record of 7-13, good enough for a ninth place tie with the Tigers in the SMBL standings.

The Bisons closed the season with losses in nine straight games to miss the playoffs by two games.

With the club having missed the playoffs, they will turn their attention to returning to the playoffs in 2019.

Red Sox pair fall one win shy of provincial final

By Christopher Lee Reporter The Peewee AA Tier 1 provincial championships featured a pair of local teams in action, with the Muenster Red Sox losing in the semifinals and the Watrous Lakers failing to reach the playoffs.

The tournament got off to an excellent start for the Red Sox who knocked off the Lumsden Cubs 33-6 on July 27, and added a 15-3 win over the Swift Current 57’s on July 28.

With a spot in the semi-finals guaranteed, the Red Sox wrapped up their round robin with a 19-8 loss to the Weyburn Beavers.

The loss left the Red Sox as the second seed in Pool B with a record of 2-1.

In the semi-finals the Red Sox took on undefeated and top seed in Pool A, the Sask 5 Giants.

In a tightly contested affair, it was the Giants who managed the key hit at the key time as they edged past the Red Sox 7-5.

The Giants went on to win the provincial title with a 7-6 win over the Lloydminster Twins.

The Watrous Lakers meanwhile, enjoyed a much less successful start to provincials as they suffered a nail biting 15-14 loss to the Twins on July 27, and an equally tough 19-16 loss to the White Butte Broncos on July 28.

Thanks to their two losses, the Lakers knew their hopes at the playoffs were dashed.

The Lakers still came out determined in their final round robin contest and upended the eventual provincial champion Giants 17-16 on July 28, handing the Giants their lone loss of the tournament.

With both teams on the outside looking in, both see their seasons come to a close.

PEEWEE AA TIER 4 MOOSOMIN The Muenster Red Sox fell one win shy of winning a provincial medal after losing in the semi-final.

The Red Sox kicked off their tournament with a 13-1 win over the Estevan Crown Cubs on July 27, and wrapped up the first day of competition losing 11-7 to the Canora Reds.

Knowing they needed to get hot, the Red Sox responded on day two of the championships as they knocked off the Saskatoon Blue Jay Dirtbags 11-0 and the Moosomin Rangers 4-3.

Thanks to their two wins, the Red Sox concluded the round robin with a record of 3-1, good enough for top spot in Pool A and a spot in the semi-finals, where they took on Pool B’s second seed, the Kipling Royals.

Unfortunately for the Red Sox, their run would end there as they fell to the Royals, who would go on to beat the Kindersley Royals in the final to claim the provincial title.

With the loss the Red Sox’s season came to a

close.

MIDGET AA TIER 5 PONTIEX The Watrous Lakers’ trip to the Midget AA Tier 5 provincial championships ended earlier than they wanted after the club finished the round robin with a 1-3 record, and failed to reach the final.

With just five teams in the tournament, the top two earned berths into the provincial final, while the other three were eliminated.

The Lakers finished the round robin fourth.

The tournament got off to an ugly start for the Lakers who failed to score a run on July 27 losing 13-0 to the Carnduff Astros and 11-0 to the Assiniboia Aces; the two teams

who would go on to finish first and second respectively.

After a tough start to provincials, the Lakers responded to start July 28 as they picked up a 10-7 win over the Moosomin Rangers.

Thanks to the win, the Lakers needed a win in their final round robin contest, coupled with some help if they were to advance to the provincial final.

Unfortunately for the Lakers they were unable to ride the momentum from their win over the Rangers into their final round robin contest as they were handed a 20-7 loss by the hometown Pontiex Pirates.

The Lakers finished the round robin 1-3 and were eliminated from playoff contention.

Fourteens are wild for Royals

By Christopher Lee Reporter The Marysburg Royals’ offense continues to be red hot as the club picked up a 12-0 win over the Saskatoon Stallions on July 28.

Brody Frerichs and Nick Anderson com-

bined for the shut out on the mound for the Royals as Frerichs pitched two shutout innings, before Anderson came on in relief and pitched three shutout innings of his own.

The pair were boosted by a solid defensive

effort behind them, as the Royals made no errors in the win.

Offensively the Red Sox pounded out 14 hits, thanks in large part to four from Frerichs, and a Brent Puetz homerun.

The win extends the

Royals’ win streak to 14 straight league contests.

The club will look to make it 15 when they return to action July 31 for their penultimate regular season contest in Saskatoon against the Smokin’ Guns at Cairns Field.

Local pair win provincials; set for nationals

By Christopher Lee Reporter Shootouts in championship finals are never fun.

F o r Wa t s o n ’ s Damon Schwartz and Humboldt’s Finlay Hart the feelings of nerves were quickly replaced with feelings of joy as the pair were part of the U17 Saskatoon Selects Provincial Soccer League squad, who captured the U17 provincial title with a 2-1 shootout win over Regina on July 14.

“It was awesome,” said Schwartz of winning the provincial title.

“Everybody was jumping around and we just sprinted at Liam Collins because he scored the winning penalty and we were just ecstatic.”

For Schwartz it was extra special to help the Selects win the provincial title, after not being part of the same club who won the title in 2017.

Neither Schwartz, nor Hart took a shot in the shootout, with both admitting it was tough sitting on the sidelines

watching.

With the win the Selects booked the spot as Team Saskatchewan at the 2018 Canada Soccer Toyota National Championship U17 Cup in Surrey, B.C. in October.

The trip to nationals is the second straight for Hart, but just the first for Schwartz, with the Watson native saying he is looking forward to the challenge of a national championship.

“It will be a good learning experience for sure… Just the opportunity to play against some really top class teams and learn from them and get together as a team and really have a good bond together and learn from what we experienced.”

Hart and the rest of the Selects team finished ninth at the national championship in New Brunswick last October, and says he felt they underestimated the tournament as a whole.

Off the field, Schwartz who has been to British Columbia before, but

never to the Surrey area, says he is most looking forward to seeing the landscape and bonding with teammates.

With the team set to travel to British Columbia, Schwartz said they will be doing some fundraising to help cover their costs.

One current ongoing fundraiser involves a Sarcan bottle drive, he said.

The Selects will be accepting bottles at Sarcan under the code 9876543210.

The club will be holding many other fundraisers throughout the summer and early fall, with a fundraising goal of $40,000.

Each player on the squad will be reaching out to businesses for potential sponsorship.

The club will also be selling Co-op gift cards, and will be holding a trio of events including a car wash and barbecue, steak night and desert auction, and a wing night.

The Selects kick off Friday, August 3, 2018 ECT 9

Red Sox fall in provincial tiebreaker

By Christopher Lee Reporter The Muenster Midget AAA Red Sox’s league season has come to a close after the club was knocked out of the provincial tournament in a tiebreaking game.

VS. SASKATOON CUBS Errors at an inopportune time sunk the Red Sox in their provincial tournament opener as they fell 2-1 to the Saskatoon Cubs on July 27 from the provincial tournament in Saskatoon.

The Red Sox committed three errors, in the loss, including two in the fifth inning resulting in a pair of Cubs runs.

Kyle Froehlich was charged with the loss giving up two runs, none earned, on five hits and one walk, striking out four over 5.2 innings.

Matthew McGrath came on in relief of Froehlich and retired the only batter he faced.

McGrath also drove in the only Red Sox run scoring Jayden Huls on a sacrifice fly in the third.

That run gave the Red Sox their first and only lead of the game, as a Cubs pair in the fifth rounded out the scoring.

VS. REGINA WHITE SOX The Red Sox rode an explosive offense to their first win of the provincial tournament as they picked up a 14-4 win over the Regina White Sox on July 28.

The Red Sox pounded out 13 hits, and added eight walks in a dynamic offensive outburst.

Chris Major led the way offensively for the Red Sox driving in three runs, and scoring one other as he finished the afternoon 3-for-4 at the plate.

Drew Bauml, who walked three times in four plate appearances and scored once, was the only one of the nine Red Sox’s hitters not to drive in a run.

Tyler McWillie picked up the win pitching six innings of four run ball, giving up six hits, striking out 11.

The Red Sox wasted little time jumping in

front scoring three in the first to take a 3-0 lead after just one inning.

Over the next three innings, the teams would trade four runs each, until the Red Sox put the game away for good in the fifth scoring six times.

Another run in the sixth gave the Red Sox the mercy rule win.

VS. SWIFT CURRENT 57’S Facing elimination, the Red Sox erased a four-run first inning deficit to knock off the Swift Current 57’s 10-9 on July 28.

McGrath picked up the win pitching four innings of nine run, five earned ball, giving up 14 hits, and two walks, striking out two.

Drew Bauml came on in relief and allowed just two walks over three innings, striking out four.

Huls led the way offensively for the Red Sox as he finished 2-for-3 at the plate with four runs batted in and two runs scored.

The contest got off to an interesting start for

the Red Sox as a pair in the top of the first had them in front 2-0.

The 57’s answered with six runs in the bottom of the inning to pull in front 6-2.

Two runs in the second and one more in the fourth saw the Red Sox cut the 57’s’ deficit to 6-5.

The 57’s then re-extended their lead with three runs in the fifth, setting up the Red Sox sixth inning comeback.

Huls and McWillie each drove in two, while Rylan Marianchuk added another as the Red Sox pounded out five runs on six hits, one error, and one hit by pitch to complete the comeback.

With the win the Red Sox earned themselves at least one more contest as they wrapped u p t h e ro u n d ro b i n with a 2-1 record, and moved on to take on the Regina White Sox in a tiebreaking game with second place in Pool B on the line.

VS. REGINA WHITE SOX The Red Sox’s season

came to a close thanks in large part to a disastrous fourth inning as the club dropped a 17-7 decision to the Regina White Sox on July 29.

The loss, which came in the tiebreaking contest, eliminated the Red Sox from playoff contention.

The Red Sox, who handed the White Sox their lone round robin loss, gave up 13 runs in the fourth inning, and could never recover.

Marianchuk was charged with the loss on the mound for the Red Sox giving up seven runs, all earned, on six hits, and six walks, striking out one in 3.1 innings.

Aaron Aquino came on in relief of Marianchuk and lasted just 0.1 innings giving up seven runs, all earned, on five hits and two walks.

Nicholas Silcox wrapped up the contest for the Red Sox pitching the final 0.1 inning giving up three runs, all earned, on four hits and one walk.

Froehlich led the way

offensively for the Red Sox finishing 2-for-3 at the plate with two runs batted in and one run scored.

The contest got off to a decent start for the Red Sox, as they gave up three runs in the first and one in the second, responding with a trio of their own in the second to trail 4-3 after two innings.

A f t e r a s c o re l e s s third, the White Sox ran away with the win in the fourth, scoring 13 times on 12 hits and three walks, to extend their lead to 17-3.

The Red Sox answered with four in the fifth, but the club ran out of runway, losing 17-7 in five innings due to the mercy rule.

OUTLOOK With the loss the Red Sox’s league season is now complete, with the club getting an early start to their offseason for the first time since 2015 after winning national championship bronze in 2016 and western Canadian gold in 2017.
