Palletable Projects wins Chamber of Commerce national award Palletable Projects, a Junior Achievement company formed by 23 students from the Weyburn Comprehensive School, has been selected as the recipient of the 2015 Canadian Chamber of Commerce Company of the Year Award.

The award is based on a number of criteria, including attendance of team

members, even distribution of sales among all members, teamwork, financial records and return on investment.

As students in the Junior Achievement company program, the team had to develop a product or service, name it, market their product and run their venture like a company. The team decided upon unique, custom-

made home decor signs, shelves, wall hooks and firepit chairs made from barn wood and recycled pallets.

The goal of their company, Palletable Projects was to lessen their environmental footprint by using recycled materials.

The concept was a hit, generating many sales that returned a cash dividend to

Earlier in June in Regina, the team, led by its student co-presidents Hannah Hextall and Kauron Kooper, were honoured with Junior Achievement of Saskatchewan awards for Company of the Year, Product Design, and individual awards for Spirit of JA (Jonjie Fellner) and Salesperson of the Year (Emma Chuckry).

“This JA venture provided the opportunity for my students to learn about all aspects of business. They were anxious and eager to learn all they could about starting and running their own company. With each product created, it inspired the company members to improve and develop their creative skills, making each product more outstanding than the last. It was a real-life experience that prepared them for the world of business.”

Local man publishes hunting book Derrell Rodine has lived and hunted in Saskatchewan and many other places in North America for most of his adult life. He operates a guiding operation, with his son Craig, from his farm in southeast Saskatchewan and sees clients from all over the continent.

Derrell's book, A Lifetime of Hunting, published by Word Alive Press in Winnipeg, was printed in June 2015.

“The title of the book tells some of the story,” says Derrell.

“I have been blessed all my life with the opportunity to hunt and fish in the great outdoors and I wouldn't trade these adventures for anything. I wanted to tell people some of what I've experienced because it is not available to everyone and I think they don't understand what they are missing. The hunting life and the life of the hunter is disappearing even in Saskatchewan.”

Some of Derrell's stories are funny and others are more serious, but they are all a reflection of a way of life he was privileged to enjoy. The book is a slice of a particular Saskatchewan life over the past 50 years.

The book is available for purchase for $14.00 on Amazon or by contacting Derrell at 306-456-2520.

Derrell and his wife, Joyce, live on a farm approximately 20 miles south of Weyburn.

New wildlife/hunting regulations now in effect in Sask.

New hunting regulations under The Wildlife Amendment Act, 2015 came into effect July 1, 2015, in advance of Saskatchewan's popular hunting season.

"Saskatchewan's valuable wildlife resource needs to be protected and preserved for future generations to enjoy," Environment Minister Herb Cox said. "This new legislation enhances wildlife protection and shows greater respect for our natural resources by increasing the severity of penalties for those who commit hunting violations."

The Wildlife Amendment Act, 2015 will ensure that: • The most serious conservation offences will carry an automatic two year suspension; • Those convicted on three separate occasions for wildlife offences will have a lifetime ban; • People with outstand-

ing wildlife-related fines will be prohibited from buying a license until their fines are paid; • Individuals who are banned from hunting activities in other jurisdictions will not be able to purchase a li-

cense in Saskatchewan; and • Wildlife officers will have up to three years to investigate hunting violations and bring charges forward.

Earlier amendments also included a regulation to ensure that people who are in

arrears for maintenance payments will be denied the opportunity to purchase a hunting or angling license in Saskatchewan.

The Act will also ensure that science-based wildlife surveys are carried out in a re-

sponsible and undisruptive manner. Properly-conducted wildlife surveys and reliable data submissions are vital

tools in the assessment, management and protection of wildlife populations and their habitat.

Chamber announces annual Clean-Up Campaign The Weyburn Chamber of Commerce will once again be promoting a "Business CleanUp Campaign". Awards will be given to businesses whose physical presence represents the cleanliness and professionalism that defines our community.

Maintaining a strong and healthy business community is paramount to attracting new investment and residents. It is for these reasons that the Chamber is encouraging businesses to pay special attention to the presentation of their business over the next few weeks.

Judging will take place on Thursday, July 23. The Chamber will present awards in the following two categories: Commercial Services and Industrial/Agriculture.

CT scanner purchased for Sun Country Health Region Sun Country Health Region has purchased a CT scanner from General Electric for the Region and is continuing plans for renovations to St. Joseph's Hospital of Estevan where the service will be located.

"We are very pleased to be a partner with the St. Joseph's Hospital Foundation which has pledged to purchase the $1.2 million CT scanner, and renovate the hospital to accommodate it," says Marga Cugnet, President and CEO, Sun Country Health Region, and Greg Hoffort, Executive Director of St. Joseph's Hospital.

"We expect the new service for the people of the Region will be available by October. We are planning for improved and easier access to this service for our patients," says Mrs. Cugnet.

A committee of experienced health professionals narrowed the search for the equipment to three companies earlier this year and made the final choice of GE recently.

"We have a lot of work to do now that the contract has been awarded," says Cugnet.

"St. Joseph's has had one staff member trained to perform the scans but we need at least two more. That is hap-

pening now. GE will help plan and oversee the renovations so the equipment can be installed properly."

The Region is also tendering in the province for a radiology group to read the scans produced. The images will be sent electronically and no radiologist will be onsite. Medical doctors already practicing in Estevan will also need some training to deal with some specialized scans.

The CT scanner provides more information to assist with a medical diagnosis than an ordinary x-ray. It has many uses, but is especially useful to quickly examine people with internal injuries from car accidents or other types of trauma.

A CT scan can be used to visualize nearly all parts of the body and is used to diagnose disease or injury, as well as to plan medical or surgical treatment.

The equipment is particularly critical for the timely diagnosis and treatment of people who may be experiencing a stroke so that if the stroke is caused by a clot, the appropriate medication can be delivered within the designated timelines.

"This additional imaging technology will help to improve the quality of life of patients and that's what health care is intended to do," says Cugnet.

Police warn residents of on-line fraud On July 5, the Weyburn Police Service received a call regarding a missing nine year-old child. While gathering the initial information, and within 10 minutes, the youth had been located after having wandered off from home.

As school is now out for the summer we urge everyone to pay extra attention when driving and especially when around any of the school playgrounds or parks, as the young children will be out and about playing and may not be concentrating on their surroundings.

On July 3, the Weyburn PS received a report of a domestic disturbance. Upon attending, the police found that a heated argument between a 43 year-old male and a 36 year-old female had resulted in property being damaged.

The male agreed to leave the residence for the night. No further action was required by police.

The Weyburn PS has received numerous complaints in the past weeks about animals being left unattended in vehicles. We wish to emphasize that while there is nothing specifically unlawful about leaving a pet in a vehicle, it can become a legal issue during hot days especially if the vehicle is not left running with a supply of water for the animal.

While each case is unique, there can be significant criminal charges laid for causing suffering to an animal.

On July 2, the Weyburn PS received a call regarding a domestic disturbance. Upon arrival, a 26 year-old male was arrested and held in cells for being drunk. No charges are pending.

Also on July 2, the Weyburn Police Service received a

complaint regarding an on-line fraud. In this case, a business had been contacted by a person said to be representing SaskPower. The business was told that the power bill was in arrears and if not paid immediately the power would be cut off. An actual loss was suffered by the business. The matter is under investigation.

We urge anyone in a similar situation to be diligent. No reputable company will conduct business in this manner and will at least send formal correspondence on the matter.

Further on July 2, the Weyburn PS received a request to assist in a family domestic situation. Upon arrival, the matter was mediated and an 18 year-old family member was escorted from the property.

On July 1, the Weyburn PS received a call to assist the Security Detail at the Weyburn Fair in dealing with an unruly patron in the beer garden. The matter was mediated and nothing further resulted.

On June 30, the Weyburn Police Service received a cryptic complaint about an assault involving a 33 year-old male victim. The matter is still under investigation.

On June 29, the Weyburn PS has received a complaint of a potential on-line real estate fraud. In this particular case, the information from a valid MLS listing was used on-line. The ad was for a down payment and rental of a property. We urge people to be particularly cautious in any on-line dealings, but especially real estate, as there can be significant legal issues accompanied by significant dollars. 'Buyer Beware' must be the caution used.

Mu-lli-gan

Fires and bottomless wells

By Helen Waller I have been spending a lot of time on the golf course these days and I am getting familiar with terms like mulligan being used by players. So, I decided to do some research and see exactly what the term mulligan means.

According to Wikipedia (the online version of the encyclopedia), a mulligan can be defined in two ways.

The first definition is as follows.

1. “a stew made from odds and ends of food.”

(Sort of a last minute, what is in the fridge, let’s try mixing that together, kind of meal.)

I can honestly say that after a day at work, with only a limited amount of time before we head out to the rink, ball diamond or dance class, many of my meals have resembled this.

The only thing I have ever heard my children refer to it as, is “what on earth is this?”

I am happy to know that I can correct them and let them know that indeed my cooking is what we refer to as a mulligan. You may have also had this kind of meal at your Grandma’s house, but for whatever reason, no matter what she threw in there, it always tasted delicious.

The second definition refers to golf.

2. “an extra stroke allowed after a poor shot, not counted on the score card (in informal golf)” It didn't take me long to realize I enjoy the term mulligan in my kitchen, as well as my golf game. What's not to like about getting a second chance at a shot without having to mark it on your score card, especially since my score resembles a strong 18, even though I only golfed nine holes.

I am really enjoying the mulligan both on and off the course and I can't help but think about all the other areas in my life that it could benefit. The benefits of a mulligan could be enjoyed more than just in the kitchen and your golf game. Imagine the possibilities.

Whether it be a first date, a job interview, a time when you put your foot in your mouth, or a Rider game, there are times we could all use a mulligan - a chance to do something over without having to mark it on our ‘score card’.

So next time, no matter on which field you are playing - whether it be a golf course, kitchen or somewhere else - if you mess up the first time and need a second chance - get up, wipe off the dust and declare it a MULLIGAN.

By Linda Wegner Vast tracts of Western Canada are engulfed in flames this morning. Thousands of folks have been evacuated, houses have been destroyed and across three provinces the skies are filled with smoke and ash. As we left for church today I was reminded of the eruption of Mount St. Helen's. We lived close enough to experience that "ash-snow" but this time it's fire, multiple fires, in fact, that are burning far too close for comfort.

I can't even imagine the emotions that flood the hearts and minds of those who have had to leave their

homes to the fury of flames.

Though I live mere minutes from the shores of the Pacific Ocean, the description "rain forest country" has become more a memory than a reality. The current situation has resulted in bans on all open fires and railings against those who carelessly discard cigarette butts.

In addition to the haze that turned our moon blood red and painted our blue skies an eerie shade of brown, there's more evidence of the seriousness of it all. Facebook is flooded with comments and photos and some neighbours are now abandoning their lawnmowers and erecting signs which read: Brown is the New Green.

A stupid dog that wasn’t I heard an interesting story about a dog. A man was given a dog that was very nice but not very bright. The dog couldn't do anything. He wouldn't sit, lie down or come when called.

He didn't even seem to know his name. The dog was a Rottweiler. A stupid Rottweiler just didn't seem right to me, as I know they are very smart dogs. But one day, the man was out in the park, with his dog, and along came a Chinese man, with his dog. The Chinese man spoke to his dog in Mandarin, and the dog would sit down, lie down, or come when called. But the Rottweiler was listening to the Chinese man, and he started doing the same things as the other dog. Both dogs would sit down, lie down or come when called. The man realized immediately that his dog wasn't stupid, he just didn't know English, but knew Mandarin.

The man took some lessons in Mandarin and then was able to give commands the dog could understand.

I think that we sometimes make the same mistake as the man with the Rottweiler. We think that others are stupid. The truth is more likely that the other person knows other things. He might not know the things that you know but then you don't know some of things that he knows.

Another mistake is that we sometimes think that we are stupid. We compare ourselves with others and the other seems smarter in every way. But this is not true. Each person has abilities in some areas. We shouldn't put others down for their lack of understanding nor should we do this for ourselves. I think that it is best to respect the intelligence that God has given to each person.

Rev. Doug Loden, Calvary Baptist Church

Thought for the week "If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again."

- Flavia Weedn

surrounding homes and public buildings have temporarily lost their appeal because as much as I enjoy verdant lawns, I'd rather preserve our city's water supply for my beans, tomatoes and onions.

There are days when my soul feels parched, too, scorched from the daily exposure of life. As a psalmist, one of the sons of Korah, once wrote, "As the hart pants and longs for the water brooks, so I pant and long for You, O God." (Psalm 42:1) Thank God, there's no bottom to the well of living water, no restrictions on how deeply we may drink to slake our thirst.

Expanded translation service in Sun Country Health Region Sun Country Health Region has contracted with a Canadian company that will provide translation and interpretative services in any language for visitors and residents need-

ing health care whose first language is not English.

"This is an impressive new service that will ensure the health care needs of everyone coming to any of our facilities or programs are looked after appropriately," says Janice Giroux, Vice President of Community Health for Sun Country Health Region.

"Our staff can pick up the telephone any time, day or night, and reach someone who will translate for us," she says.

"It takes less than 60 seconds to be connected, so people no longer need to worry about not being understood. If you come to us for any kind of health care need, including mental health services, we will find someone to connect with you."

An influx of new people into South East Saskatchewan in recent years has made this service necessary, says Mrs. Giroux.

"We want to ensure that our patients/clients and residents are all understood and this is the most supportive way to do that."

Thank You Very Much!

Thank you Ethan

Haying operations are underway in much of the province, despite a shortfall in plant growth and moisture, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture's weekly Crop Report.

Livestock producers now have 10 per cent of the hay crop cut and five per cent baled or put into silage. Hay quality is currently rated as four per cent excellent, 41 per cent good, 24 per cent fair and 31 per cent poor. Many hay swaths are significantly smaller than normal and bales will be in short supply this year. Pasture conditions continue to decline due to the lack of rainfall.

The Ministry of Agriculture has a Forage, Feed and Custom Service listing for producers to advertise and source feed products. It is available at www.agriculture.gov.sk.ca/ FeedForageListing.

Rainfall this past week ranged from trace amounts to several inches in some southeastern areas. Topsoil moisture conditions are quickly deteriorating with the hot and dry temperatures. Provincially, topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 32 per cent adequate, 48 per cent short and 20 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as 23 per cent adequate, 40 per cent short and 37 per cent very short.

Crop development is advancing nicely in most of the province, although many crops in drier areas are short, thin and heading out and/or flowering earlier than normal. Sixty-three per cent of fall cereals, 58 per cent of spring cereals, 52 per cent of oilseeds and 59 per cent of pulse crops are at their normal stages of development for this time of year. Crop conditions vary throughout the province, but the majority of crops are in poor-to-good condition. Grasshoppers and lack of moisture have caused the most crop damage this week.

Farmers are busy controlling pests and cutting hay.

*254<*7.3, +&72*78 ` Ag in Motion brings innovation to the field ALL FARMERS KNOW DECISIONS are made in the field. Imagine a place, an event, created to empower farmers by providing the information they need to make these important decisions.

A place where they can see the latest equipment in action, in the field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; operating in the same environment itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made for. A place where farmers can see multiple varieties of live crop plots growing side by side in the field.

This summer, such a place will exist.

Introducing Ag in Motion, Western Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest and only outdoor farm expo. Debuting July 21 to 23, on a half-section (320 acres) near Saskatoon, SK, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the only show that provides an outdoor venue for progressive farmers in Western Canada that want to see and experience the latest agricultural innovation, all in one place. Ag in Motion will feature field equipment demonstrations, live crop plots and interactive exhibits such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;ride and drivesâ&#x20AC;? and smaller equipment demos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ag in Motion will offer farmers a unique opportunity to compare crop plots and machinery, in action, and ultimately help them make decisions about the best products for their operations,â&#x20AC;? says Show Director Rob Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nowhere else in Western Canada where farmers can actually see multiple pieces of farm equipment in operation, take a test drive, or compare different crop varieties all in one place.â&#x20AC;?

Touch innovation this summer at Ag in Motion.

What does an outdoor show look like?

The Ag in Motion team brings together the expertise of seasoned farm show organizers.

The Expo is operated by Glacier FarmMedia, who owns Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoor Farm Show, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest outdoor farm show held annually near Woodstock, Ontario. Also part of Glacier FarmMedia are Western Producer, Manitoba Co-operator, Grainews, Country Guide, Canadian Cattlemen, Alberta Farmer Express and AgDealer. The team knows whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved in delivering an outdoor show, and the potential such a venue provides.

Now in its 22nd year, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Outdoor Farm Show delivers 750 exhibitors and 42,000 visitors each year. Most attendees come to see the newest technologies in agriculture. Its success is based on the fact that active farmers attend to do business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; make decisions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the show is dedicated solely to agricultural products, equipment and services.

Ag in Motion is applying the same model and will become a must-see event by showcasing cutting-edge agricultural advancements that empower Canadian farmers to help meet their goals in producing high quality, safe food in a competitive marketplace.

To learn more about how an outdoor show looks and operates, view the videos on the Ag in Motion website, www.aginmotion.ca.

Live Demos and Interactive Exhibits The number of Ag in Motion exhibitors is growing steadily each week and includes seed and crop protection companies, field equipment and livestock handling manufacturers, financial services, nutrition, baling products, tires, fertilizers and much more.

Motorcyclists to have further choice of injury coverage SGI is providing additional choice in injury coverage for motorcycle owners for the 2016 riding season.

Motorcycle owners can already choose between the full package of No Fault injury benefits and Tort coverage. An additional option, planned to be implemented for the 2016 riding season, will allow motorcycle owners to choose a reduced package of No Fault injury benefits for a lower cost.

"Motorcyclists have asked for more choices in injury coverage, and government and SGI have listened," Minister responsible for SGI Don McMorris said. "The new option is for motorcycle owners who feel they require fewer benefits in the event of a collision, and because there are fewer benefits, it's a lower cost. It also ensures that all motorcyclists continue to receive some level of insurance coverage if they're injured."

Beginning in 2016, motorcycle owners will have three options for injury coverage: â&#x20AC;˘ the full package of No Fault injury benefits (provides more generous benefit levels); or â&#x20AC;˘ Tort coverage (provides more limited benefit levels but allows you to sue for additional losses from the people who caused the collision); or â&#x20AC;˘ a reduced package of No Fault injury benefits (provides same level of benefits as under the current Tort product, but without the ability to sue).

The insurance rate for any of the three options is dependent on the make and model of motorcycle, and its history of claims.

"The decision to opt for a reduced package of benefits is one motorcyclists should not take lightly," McMorris said. "Motorcycles are smaller and more vulnerable than other vehicles on the road, and a collision or fall can result in serious injuries. If you own a motorcycle, I urge you to give this very serious consideration to ensure you have the right coverage to meet your individual needs, as well as those of your family, in the event of an injury."

The decision to provide the additional option for motorcycle owners stems from feedback received during the comprehensive motorcycle review that took place in 2013, as well as SGI's review of the automobile injury program last year. Other potential changes to the

Visit us online at www.weyburnthisweek.com

injury coverage program are still being considered. It is anticipated further decisions will be made by this summer.

Legislation for the additional motorcycle injury option is anticipated to be introduced in Fall 2015, and passed during the Spring 2016 sitting of the Legislature.

June land sale yields $9.8 million

The June sale of petroleum and natural gas rights raised $9.8 million in revenue for the province at an average price of $570 per hectare. After three sales in 2015, land sale revenues total $32.7 million.

The Government of Saskatchewan continues to make it easier for the oil and gas industry to conduct business in the province. This fall, the final two modules of the Integrated Resource Information System (IRIS) will be implemented, enabling industry to conduct some of their regular business activities with the government online, including managing their oil and gas dispositions and submitting confidential land sale bids securely.

"Oil and gas operates 24 hours a day," Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. "Offering online self-service to industry for some of their day-to-day activities with the province recognizes that business is conducted anytime and anywhere with an Internet connection. We are committed to competitive, stable royalties and regulatory environments, as well as lower taxes, which have created one of the best places for energy investment in North America.

Along with a world-class supply chain and making our services more accessible through IRIS, Saskatchewan continues to be a great place to invest in oil and gas."

The June sale saw the Weyburn-Estevan area receive the most bids with sales of $6.1 million. The Lloydminster area was next at $1.9 million, followed by the Swift Current area at $1.4 million and the Kindersley-Kerrobert area at $398,141.

The highest price paid for a single parcel was $1.1 million. Plunkett Resources Ltd. acquired the 259-hectare lease southeast of Estevan. The highest price on a per-hectare basis was $5,111. Highrock Resources Ltd. bid $330,937 for a 64.75-hectare lease south of Stoughton.

The next sale of Crown petroleum and natural gas rights will be held on August 10, 2015.

Teams tee off with ‘Dutch’ 136 RAILWAY AVE., WEYBURN • (306) 842-3395

(306) 897-7499 • www.pursuitsc.com

Teams that participated in the Weyburn Hospital Foundation Charity golf tournament teed off with celebrity sportscaster and TSN SportsCentre host Darren Dutchyshen (centre) on the 18th hole. Pictured are the Barber Motors team of (l-r) Andy and Rhea Barber, and Karen and Jerome Sidloski. The event took place on July 3 at the Weyburn Golf Club.

Local powerlifters compete at North American Championships

Participating in the North American Powerlifting Championships in Moose Jaw are, back row (l-r), Ryan Fowler and Brittinay Rowland. Front row, Heidi Fowler, Mikayla Lohse and Marnel Spencer.

Five local powerlifters are competing at the North American Powerlifting Federation Championships in Moose Jaw from July 8-11. Ryan and Heidi Fowler, Mikayla Lohse, Brittinay Rowland and Marnel Spencer will all be competing for Canada at the event.

"It is a great opportunity for the Weyburn lifters to get some international experience with friends and family there to support them," says local coach Ryan Fowler. This will be Brittinay's, Mikayla's and Marnel's first international competition.

Saskatchewan will have 30 athletes participating in the event with five calling Weyburn home.

We encourage the public to come and support our local and provincial athletes. There are two sessions each day; noon and 4:00 p.m. On Saturday, the first session is at 9:00 and the second session at noon. Admission is $5 a day or $10 for four days. All lifting will be held at the Heritage Inn & Conference Centre on Main Street in Moose Jaw. The North American Powerlifting Federation Championships Organizing Committee expects 170 athletes from seven countries to attend this championship. The Organizing Committee is confident that the athletes, fans and visitors will experience a first-class event.

Pack a lunch and buckle up. This is going to be a long, bumpy ride.

I'm not talking about this column, but rather the 2015 Saskatchewan Roughriders season.

Only four games in (two preseason, two regular season), this team has yet to taste the sweet sensation of victory. The winless exhibition season doesn't mean much but you have to wonder what's going on in the rookies' minds, particularly after two close home losses to open the year (30-26 to Winnipeg and Sunday's 42-40 double overtime loss to Toronto).

Some must be thinking, 'Are we a good team or not?'

There's plenty of reason to panic, yet it's also far too early to do so. The Roughriders may be winless going into Week 3 but division mates Edmonton and B.C. can say the same thing while Calgary and Winnipeg are only a game ahead at 1-1.

The trouble is, the Riders don't seem to be trending upwards in one key area: defense.

They gave up a whopping 470 yards to the Blue Bombers in Week 1 and may have trimmed that to 367 in Week 2, but it was disturbing that the Riders allowed Toronto quarterback Trevor Harris to mount a game-tying touchdown drive starting from their own 25-yard line - with only 1:08 to go on Sunday afternoon.

A more aggressive defense was promised when long-time coordinator Richie Hall was shown the door last December.

And yet this bunch has been anything but so far this summer.

However if you listen to the quotes coming out of the Roughrider locker room late Sunday afternoon, you'd swear the Riders had won the game.

“A lotta good signs in all three phases,” Riders head coach Corey Chamblin told our CKRM postgame show. “We gotta get points. We have to have points if we have 500 yards.”

And with that, the finger was momentarily pointed at the offense. However the only really glaring thing quarterback Kevin Glenn can be accused of is the 100-yard pick six he threw to Toronto's A.J. Jefferson at the 5:34 mark of the fourth quarter which brought the score to 21-18 Saskatchewan.

“Kevin wishes he had that ball back,” Chamblin revealed after the game. “The team tried to fight back but the mindset was different after that. Defensive points against are tough to get over.”

It's equally tough for the offense to watch from the sidelines as the other team marches the ball all the way down the field to tie the score with the game on the line.

We've seen this Roughriders team play in unison like a finely-tuned orchestra at times during the golden era of 20072013. We've also seen them scrap and fight like bar-room brawlers at times too. One phase of the team covering for another on any given day to help secure the win.

Right now they're not close to doing any of that, but it's still extremely early and it's clear Chamblin is doing his best to keep his troops upbeat. Now in his fourth season, his methods are very clear. If this team was 2-0 at this time, he'd be “ripping them a new one” in order to keep them humble. “(Chamblin) just said he liked our intensity, he loved our effort and we're that close,” rookie linebacker Jake Doughty said of his coach's postgame locker room speech. “We're a couple inches away and we'll be a good football team.”

Sophomore returner/receiver Ryan Smith was singing from the same hymn book, stressing the positives. With 174 yards on eight catches and his second touchdown score of the season, he had reason to.

“Our heads are held high,” Smith said. “We came out there fighting and that's all we can ask for. We came up a little short today but next week we'll be ready to go.”

That next week showdown is this Friday night against the 0-1 B.C. Lions in Vancouver in a game I'm dubbing the Bad Blood Bowl. Lions offensive coordinator George Cortez was fired by the Riders following the 2014 season and has had little to say about it since. Meanwhile the Riders' 45-year old kicker Paul McCallum was turfed by B.C. coming out of training camp three weeks ago and he'll be making his first return to B.C. Place.

Oh - I forgot to mention the Riders signed McCallum last Wednesday? At least the 23-year veteran was 4 for 4 against the Argos, allowing for some relief in the special teams area which ailed in Week 1.

So now in mid-July, we're still trying to sort out what the 2015 Saskatchewan Roughriders are.
