Beekeepers gather at Hannigan Honey
There was a great deal of buzz at Hannigan Honey’s warehouse over the weekend, and, for once, it wasn’t just com-ing from the bees.
That’s because the lo-cal business had the re-sponsibility of hosting the Saskatchewan Bee-keepers Development Commission’s annual SBDC Field Day on Sat-urday, June 22, and wel-coming beekeepers from across the province.
“Every year, there’s an AGM, usually held in
Saskatoon,” explained Murray Hannigan, president of Hannigan Honey. “But this is a time when beekeepers can come and see what’s going on at another bee-keeper’s place, exchange ideas, and socialize.”
Calling the day “re-ally enjoyable”, even if it meant extra work dur-ing what is typically the busiest time of year for beekeepers, Hannigan estimates that represen-tatives from about 60 of the province’s 85 major
beekeeper operations made the trek out to the Field Day.
With such a strong turnout, he adds, there was a lot to learn over the course of the day.
“People might view us as being one of the more prominent beekeep-ers in the province, but we’re always learning regardless,” he said.
“In the night, I actu-ally got up and wrote down some things I thought we could maybe make some improve-ments on in our queen production, just from exchanging ideas with other beekeepers.”
This exchange of ideas was actually made possi-ble by a bout of uncoop-erative weather, which prevented the visiting beekeepers from taking
a trip out to the Hanni-gan Honey bee hives for a first-hand glimpse at the business’ queen pro-duction operation.
But as Hannigan ex-plains, this actually turned out to be a posi-tive thing for the day overall, as it prevented the gathering from be-ing too centred around adhering to the agenda.
A rainy day, as he adds, is also, in many ways, the best day for a group of beekeepers to come together.
“Nobody was very unhappy, because typi-cally, beekeepers on a sunny day are wring-ing their hands because they should be out work-ing bees. On a rainy day, they’re actually pretty content to be visiting with other beekeepers.”
Apart from the official business on the agenda, and the unofficial busi-ness of socializing, the day was capped off by a meal, catered by Prince Albert’s My Place Cater-ing, that Hannigan says exceeded even his ex-pectations.
The gathering also saw visits from some spe-cial guests, including Premier Scott Moe, and Prince Albert MP Randy Hoback, who both had words to share with the beekeepers.
Speaking first, Premier Moe brought greetings on behalf of his govern-ment, and thanked the beekeepers, on behalf of Saskatchewan, for their economic contributions
to the province and to their communities.
To conclude, he wished them all the best during the busy season.
Echoing many of Moe’s sentiments, Hoback en-couraged them to con-tinue exchanging ideas and innovating in their industry.
“When no-till [agri-culture] was starting in Saskatchewan... that’s how it got going; a group of farmers got togeth-er, and just compared what worked and didn’t work,” he said.
“I think it’s great that you all come together, and you share your knowledge, and your ex-perience, and learn from each other.”

W.P. Sandin greets summer with a splashW.P Sandin Public
School students said an early hello to summer on Wednesday after-noon, when the school hosted its annual year-end Summerfest activi-ties.
Using it as a means to help students blow off some steam before they have to write their final exams, and to build school spirit and community, the school has been hosting Sum-merfest for a number of years.
The activities, which range from school-wide water fights, to inflat-able obstacle courses, to capture the flag to the now-infamous mud pit, are always well attended by students (and even by some teachers).
And this year’s newest activity, kickball with slip-and-slide baselines and inflatable pools for
bases, was greeted with just as much enthusi-asm by all who partici-pated.
“It was a fun filled afternoon that brings everyone in the whole school together to have fun in a competitive way,” said W.P. Sandin staff member Rhonda Berezowski, calling Summerfest a “great day”.
“The students were able to have fun with their peers and teachers in a very different set-ting besides the class-room, and it’s always a fun time when you mix students, water and sunshine.”
In the past, the high-light of Summerfest has been the school-wide water fight.
But back in 2015, the festivities were ex-panded to include the mud pit, which was put
on with the help of the Shellbrook RCMP and the Shellbrook Volun-teer Fire Department.
To no one’s surprise, the mud pit ended up being a big hit with students and teachers alike.
And, with sunny and warm conditions on Wednesday afternoon, students and teachers alike were more than prepared for mudsling-ing mayhem, and didn’t hesitate to dive (or slip n’ slide) right in and get as dirty as possible.
While Friday, June 28 is listed as the Sas-katchewan Rivers Pub-lic School Division’s end of the school year, the last day of actual classes for students in Grades 6 through 9 was June 26.
Students in Grades 10 through 12, however, wrote their final exams on June 20, 21, 24 and
25, and the school held its academic awards night June 26.
The 2019-2020 school year begins Tuesday, Sept. 3.
Good luck over the next two months, par-ents.
Makenna Bloom, Nicole Philp, Leah Menie, and Sam Miller take a break from the madness to enjoy a refreshing mud bath.

OPINIONOPINION“Rain, Rain, Go Away…”
“Rain, Rain, go away!” Just kidding, of course. While the weekends and ball tournaments of many people were ruined due to the recent rainy days, no one was complaining . The rain was actually a very welcome addition to the growing sea-son, given that the area hasn’t had much of it to this point of the summer.
Usually, there’s a great deal of wailing and gnashing of teeth when weekend plans get cancelled due to weather, but not this weekend. Ball tournaments scheduled for this past weekend were either cancelled altogether or modified to fit the rain-free time remaining. One such tournament we
knew about was in Canwood.Speaking of Canwood, I’d like to give
a shout out to the folks at the Whisper-ing Pines Place who have what they call “Chronicle Reading Time”, where the residents gather and someone reads articles and columns from the Shell-brook Chronicle to them. I’m told that this column gets read, as well. Nice!
Switching gears for a moment, most readers will be familiar with some of the experiences we’ve had with our grandchildren. Just a recap: we have five. The two youngest – Junebug and Marchbug -- live in Fernie with their parents, Crash and Burn. The three oldest are in Grande Prairie, where
they live with their parents, Speed and Nascar. Well, Bump isn’t there anymore. He has graduated and has moved into his own condo. You’ll recall we just returned from the gradu-ation of Bounce.
We feel it is our duty to warn the world that the youngest of the Grande Prairie group, The Boss, just had a birthday. This is no ordinary birthday. She is now thirteen. She hasn’t gone crazy on us yet, but it’s early yet. It’s only been a week.
***I’m seeing the odd article suggesting to people that if they
want to get rid of mosquitoes in their yard, they should con-sider putting up a bat house. There are a number of designs and they do look attractive, not unlike a birdhouse, but with a significant difference in construction.
Of course, many will bristle at the idea of bats flying around in their yards, but while they do this bristling, they seem to forget that bats are nocturnal, doing virtually all of their fly-ing at night. In the dark. At the same time that bat-fearing, bat-hating people are safely in their beds. Their own beds, not the bat beds.
In the meantime, one bat will eat its body weight in mos-quitoes each day.
Another mosquito eater is the dragonfly, which flies during the day and, like the bat, will eat its body weight in mosqui-toes each day. One downfall to the dragonfly, though, is the purple martin, a bird that will also devour mosquitoes. How-ever, martins also like dragonflies. It’s like the martins wait until the dragonfly is full of mosquitoes, and then they carry off the mosquito-laden dragonfly to its nest.
I feel we ought to give the bats a chance.***
However much we needed the rain last weekend, there were events that did get cancelled. Or, at least, postponed to a later date. One such event was the Dale Willick Memo-rial golf tournament, put on by the Spiritwood Timberwolves Senior Hockey team. The irony is that they moved the date to June because the September weather is never dependable, and they thought a June date would be ideal. As it turns out, it wasn’t. They haven’t set a new date. Maybe September. Stay tuned.

~Columnist
One of the foundational legal principles of Can-ada’s legal system is the notion that everyone – from the poorest individual right up to the Prime Minister – is subject to the same set of codified rules, and to the same set of punishments for breaking said rules.
The rule of law, or the concept that all are equal in the eyes of the law, isn’t original to Canada; it actually dates back to the 1500s, an age in which people were beginning to have serious misgivings about the notion that their monarchs ruled by di-vine decree and could do whatever they desired.
And yet, over the course of 500 years, the rule of law has rarely ever been put into practice as intended.
Whether due to wealth, or influence, or some other form of power, there have always been those who are more equal than others. Absolute power, as they say, cor-rupts absolutely, and it seems that there’s no rule, or law, in existence that can prevent that.
Understanding where our laws come from, and the philos-ophy by which they were inspired, it’s all the more baffling that the federal government is purposely striving to intro-duce inequities into the Canadian legal system by encour-aging judges to impose harsher sentences upon those who commit crimes against Indigenous women.
A response to the recommendations made by the inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, the change aims to correct historical inequities that have re-sulted in the disproportionate victimization of Indigenous women, and the lack of justice that has followed.
In many ways, it differs little from protections that have been codified into Canadian law in recent years to safeguard the LGBTQ community against hate speech and violence.
It’s not, as critics might suggest, a special set of rights for a specific group, but instead a means to atone for a Canadian legal system that, due to racism, homophobia and other in-stitutional biases, has failed to abide by its own principles and treat Indigenous and LGBTQ people as equal citizens.
Examined through this lens alone, the idea being put for-ward by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government in Bill C-75 makes a great deal of sense.
But when one pauses to ponder how the principle will be put into practice, things get murky.
First, consider the oft-reported criminal statistic that ap-proximately 90 per cent of women, whether Indigenous or not, are victimized by someone who is known to them – a
spouse, other family, or an acquaintance.Now, according to a 2014 RCMP report, Indig-
enous women were more likely to be murdered by an acquaintance than a current or former spouse (and the opposite is true for non-Indigenous women), but it nonetheless stands to reason that Indigenous men are responsible for at least a por-tion of the crimes against Indigenous women.
This reality creates a seeming conflict with the Gladue principle, a piece of Canadian law that asks judges to consider the life circumstances of Indigenous offenders in sentencing, with an eye to curb the over-representation of Indigenous people in Canadian prisons (though, it should be noted that, as a guiding principle, Gladue cannot override mandatory minimum sentences for the
crimes that have them).Apart from this, the proposed change to Bill C-75 also suf-
fers from the hubristic notion that governments can, in any way, legislate changes in the established behaviours and at-titudes that result in the disproportionate victimization of Indigenous women and girls.
Simply put, the overwhelming body of evidence suggests that harsher sentences don’t deter criminal behaviour. The same is no less likely to be true in this instance, and Mr. Trudeau’s government should be well aware of this.
But then, Mr. Trudeau’s government is one that has always talked a big game on the major issues, only to opt for the simplest, least nuanced solution.
On climate change, for instance, we’ve seen the convoluted carbon tax and rebate scheme, which is about as likely to re-duce greenhouse gas emissions as imposing a prohibition on cow farts.
On plastic waste, we’ve got an impending full ban on sin-gle-use plastics, with no evidence that any research into the affordability of alternatives has been done.
And now, on the endemic violence against Indigenous women and girls, we’ve got harsher penalties for criminals, rather than strategies that would end the historic cycles of poverty, addiction, mental illness, trauma, and other fac-tors, that result in these women being victimized.
Indeed, it seems that this government is more focused on being seen to be doing something, than it is on making a substantive difference.
But one recommendation from the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls inquiry down, and only 230 more to go.
Trudeau gov’t not interested in heavy lifting

Native Prairie Appreciation Days honoured at Chico HillsBy Irene NowosadNeighbours gathered at
Chico Hills range, north of Shell Lake, to recog-nize and acknowledge the value of preserving native prairie land, just as it is – “undisturbed by the plough.”
Since the fall of 2000, Chico Hills has been in-volved in and contribut-ed to the Native Prairie Stewardship program – conserving, manag-ing and maintaining this parcel of natural land
for the conservation of Saskatchewan’s prairie heritage.
On the range, June 21 to 23, each appreciated the fellowship, fish fry, awesome trails, and the music in the warmth of the sunshine. Good, ful-filling conversation and the enjoyment of na-ture’s beauty prevailed.
Native Prairie Appre-ciation Week falls an-nually (since 1999) on the third week of June. The week is dedicated to
raising and promoting awareness among the general public of con-serving natural grass-lands in Saskatchewan.
Native prairie is a com-munity of grasses, flow-ers, shrubs, etc., that have evolved together for thousands of years.
The many kinds of plant species (together) combine their strengths and become an adaptive, tough source, surviv-ing and flourishing in extreme weather condi-
tions.The many varied spe-
cies (100 within an acre) simply fluctuated in numbers in response to the environmental con-ditions. The secret of the native prairie’s tough-ness is its root system.
Only 15 per cent of native prairie plant life appears above ground – complex root systems that reach deep protect the integrity of the soil. “Roots in this soil are roots with our past.”
Native Prairie is a threatened ecosystem. There is not much of this wild and varied commu-nity remaining, as home to wildlife, as ground cover, or as part of the charm and subtle beauty of the country side.
Native prairie is a valuable resource. It contains our ecological history and is the heri-tage of our province. If we lose native prairie, we lose the mix of prai-rie plants and animals
that are unique to the prairie grasslands.
These species are the product of thousands of years of evolution and that richness can never be replaced.
The interdependent tapestry of plant and animal life, that natu-ral diversity that once shaped and maintained the prairie ecosystem, is all but gone. Native prai-rie needs you, as a land-owner, to step in, and step in now.

Dear editor,Andrew Scheer, national Conservative leader, was round-
ly criticized on national television for saying “No” to partici-pating in a Pride Parade. His rationale was that it conflicted with a meritorious family event in his home province.
So what’s wrong with that? Does his refusal suggest he’s anti-Pride? Hogwash!
Scheer has repeatedly declared his unequivocal support for human equality, social justice, and the inherent worth of every human being. He also demonstrates the primacy and priority of family, whether it’s his, yours or mine. This is a fundamental tenet of Saskatchewan life. It is also what keeps this province proud and strong.
Implying some hidden motive to this story is supporting stupidity in a time when false facts, fake news, and distor-tions run rampant.
Maybe it’s time we have all our political leaders some benefit of doubt. Having served as an aide to two cabinet ministers, and served, as well, on the prime minister’s task force, I can vouch for three things.
Firstly, regardless of party, most “politicos” want to serve. Constant public and media condemnation may soften that passion, but it doesn’t extinguish it.
Secondly, whether in Regina, or in Ottawa, the politi-cians’ family life pays a terrible price. The demands on pub-
lic time are overwhelming, and personal time can quickly evaporate if you don’t stand firm. Scheer stood firm on the Pride issue.
Thirdly, with rare exceptions, almost all politicians are very human and can be demotivated with eternal slights and accusations of bias, corruption, lack of ethics honour, or excellence. So where’s the value in constant vitriol?
An election approaches. Maybe we can start wishing the best, and maybe that will help us get it.
Norm Rebin,Blaine Lake, Sask.
Dear editorThe Group of Twenty (G20), composed of nineteen coun-
tries (including Canada) and the European Union, will meet in Osaka (Japan) June 28th and 29th. From the news, it appears they will be largely focusing on the ongoing trade war between the United States and China.
But don’t be fooled by the belligerent attitude of Donald Trump or the idea that some leaders won’t get along on ma-jor issues during the summit.
Because, you see, they will all agree as thick as thieves, be sure, on everything that really matters:
- letting the destiny of our world in the hands of rich peo-ple, banks and big corporations;
- despoiling poor countries with a sophisticated set of economic, political and military measures to subdue them,
stop their march towards democracy and justice and re-duce their populations to poverty an obedience;
- maintaining democracy in its embryonic state in rich countries and doing everything to stop it in the poorest countries, by private control of information and enter-tainment in the rich ones, by force and intimidation in the poorest ones;
- and at all cost, preventing the sharing of powers that would lead to real democracy – direct democracy – and thus to equality and justice.
I can already hear someone asking: “But what can we do?” Well, we can start by the beginning! We can start talk-ing with our friends and colleagues about things that mat-ter for us: justice, fairness, environment, democracy and equality. Questioning our world is certainly the first step and a huge step towards a better world.

4-H Charity Steer continues legacy of giving back
Thanks to strong sup-port from businesses and individuals, the 4-H Charity Steer con-tinues to wrangle up vi-tal funds for important causes, with this year’s
earnings of $14,926.95 going towards the Ron-ald McDonald House Family Room in Victoria Hospital’s PEDS unit.
Each year, members of the five 4-H clubs that
participate in the 4-H Finished Beef Show and Sale – Torch River, Wild Rose, West PA, Weldon, and Canwood – pool their money to purchase the charity steer.
After that, one of the
clubs (this year it was Torch River) is responsi-ble for raising the steer, and also for selecting the charity to which the proceeds will be donated after the draw for the steer at the 4-H Finished Beef Show and Sale.
This year’s Finished Beef Show and Sale, held at the Prince Albert Exhibition Grounds on June 9 and 10, saw $11,275 worth of tick-ets bought. In the end, though, Dean and Jackie Manson were the lucky winners of the draw.
In keeping with what has become a tradi-tion over the years, the Mansons donated the charity steer to be auc-tioned off to raise more money. Northern Live-stock Sales was the win-ner of that auction, pay-ing $2,114 for the steer, only to turn around and
donate it to be auctioned off for a second time.
That second auction saw Gateway Veterinary Services place the win-ning bid of $1,426.95, bringing the total raised to the $14,926.95 mark.
Like any good cause, explains Shane Paschke of the Torch River 4-H, the clubs can’t turn the charity steer into a suc-cess without a great deal of support.
Aside from the sup-port of the businesses and individuals who buy tickets or bid on the charity steer, Paschke says the clubs also re-ceive much appreci-ated support from Lake Country Co-op, which donated the feed for the steer this year.
In other news from the 4-H Finished Beef Show and Sale, there were also a number of awards and accolades to be handed
out at the show, some of them going to local kids.
For instance, the Grand Champion Steer, exhibited by Dawson Beaulac of the Wild Rose 4-H Beef Club, was auctioned at $6.00 per lb and purchased by Nadine Wilson, MLA, Dwayne Fremont Truck-ing, Dr. Janzen and Dr. Wilson.
The Reserve Cham-pion steer, meanwhile, was exhibited by Ty-son MacGillivray of the Weldon 4-H Beef Club, auctioned at $5.25 per lb and purchased by Ag World Equipment.
Rounding out the ma-jor awards, the Grand Champion Female was exhibited by Olivia Woy-tiuk of the Wild Rose 4-H Beef Club, and the Reserve Grand Champi-on Female was exhibited by Rikki Wilson of West PA 4-H Beef Club.
Dawson Beaulac of the Wild Rose 4-H Club had the grand champion steer at the 4-H Finished Beef Show and Sale. The steer was purchased by Nadine Wilson, MLA, Dwayne Fremont Trucking, Dr. Janzen and Dr. Wilson.

Farmers need to keep youth in the knowIt might not be new in
terms of a challenge fac-ing agriculture, but it is one that certainly needs to keep bubbling on the front burner in terms of a response.
What I am referring to is the growing disconnect between our youth and the reality of farming.
It was not surprising, but still somewhat sad to hear that at a farm infor-mation event for students held at a Norquay-area farm, there were students not familiar with farming in large part because they have had no exposure to
the sector.Norquay and area are
about as rural as it gets on the Canadian Prai-ries. It would be expected that most people living in such as area would natu-rally be connected to the farm, but that is an as-sumption which is simply not valid anymore.
It is quite reasonable to work in a community such as Norquay, Kam-sack, or Canora, being a nurse, a teacher, a me-chanic and have no direct tie to an area farm. If the adults in a family do not have farm ties, some-
thing that takes them to an active farm at least for periodic visits, then the children of those people will have no in-person exposure to agriculture either.
We who have a greater connection to the farm sector, having grown up on a farm, or having ca-reers which tie us to the sector often wonder how there can be the distrust of farming that we some-times see from the broad-er public.
Yet, if we step back just a bit if one is not im-mersed in a particular business it is hard to un-derstand what actually goes on.
I look under the hood of my car and at best I have a rudimentary knowl-edge of a gasoline engine.
But when it comes to the detailed workings of a modern engine, with all its computer controls and gizmos, I am frankly lost.
I would note I know little if anything about modern mining or the forestry sector either.
That said how potash is mined does not impact my thinking in the same way I think about how the food on my table comes to be there.
People should care about their food. It’s im-portant in fact, that they do.
But, they can only
make informed deci-sions, can only formulate informed opinion, with good information. Good information is often best obtained by first-hand in-formation gathering. For food, that means know-ing what happens on the farm, and why it hap-pens. From that founda-tion good decisions can begin to formulate.
So it is imperative pro-ducers are diligent in pro-viding access to good in-formation, even in small town Canada, so resi-dents better understand the farm sector.
The Prince Albert Aces Alumni team won out on the women’s side, topping the current u19 Prince Albert Aces squad in the finals.

Penguin Summer Classic 2019 hits another home runBy Grant Person
The weather posed a few problems for the annual Penguin Summer Classic Men’s and Ladies’ fastpitch tournament this year.
It was originally scheduled to be a two day tournament to be played on June 22 and 23. The 25 mm of rain that forced the tournament to be reduced to a one day Sunday tournament.
This did not dampen the enthusiasm on the ball diamonds at the Canwood Regional Park. There was a group of players who faced off in an impromptu
exhibition game that took place lat-er Saturday afternoon after the wet weather cleared. There were many good hearted cheers from both the male and female teams.
The tournament draw was revamped to begin Sunday morning at 8am. Teams from Dry Creek Penguins, Ca-noe Lake Cree 45, Edgerton Eagles, Earl Grey Rockets, Whitewood Falcons, De-geer Dynamos, Prince Albert Liteway Electric Blue Jays, Timberlost Outfit-ters, Expos, Sask Thunderbirds, and the Prince Albert Brewers made up the men’s division.
The Ladies’ division consisted of the Parkland Predators, Parkland Pacers, Saskatoon Renegades, Prince Albert Aces and the Prince Albert Aces Alumni.
The diamonds held up well despite a couple of showers throughout Sunday.
The Sask. Thunderbirds ended up
powering their way to the win defeating the Prince Albert Brewers in the Men’s championship game. The consolation final saw the Earl Grey Rockets blast the Edgerton Eagles for the win.
The more experienced Prince Albert Aces Alumni team edge the current U19 Prince Albert Aces for the tournament victory. The Parkland Pacers showed that they still have it and defeated the Saskatoon Renegades in the consolation final.
A huge round of gratitude to the teams that stuck it out through Saturday. The Canwood 4-H clubs did an admirable job keeping the players’ and spectators’
bellies full with great food throughout the weekend.
Appreciation to Glenmor Grain and Lorne Thompson for donating a new Kubota side by side for the tournament to help with diamond maintenance. The tournament would not be able to happen if it wasn’t for the support of the Can-wood community to assist with the gate admission and beer gardens.
The Dry Creek Penguins, who are in their 71st year of existence, would like to see everyone come back and enjoy next year’s Summer Classic. Clear your schedule for June 27 and 28 for next year’s tournament.
The Sask. Thunderbirds took the top prize on the men’s side.
Capping off a 2018-2019 school year in which its student athletes won cham-pionship banners in mul-tiple sports and at many levels of competition, W.P Sandin High School cele-brated the sporting feats of its students at an athletics awards ceremony held in the jam-packed school gym on Wednesday morning.
Up until two years ago,
these athletic awards were typically handed out along-side the school’s academic achievement awards. But the athletics awards were moved to a separate day, both to shorten the length of the ceremonies, and to give the student athletes their turn to stand alone in the spotlight.
The athletics awards cer-emony, MCed by Rhonda
Berezowski, saw 37 awards and recognitions handed out to students across seven different sporting categories, including vol-leyball, cross-country, bas-ketball, curling, badmin-ton, track and field, and football.
Before the awards were handed out, however, W.P. Sandin High School vice principal, Sheri Gun-
ville, had a few words and thanks yous to share with the student athletes, the staff, and the parents.
With the introductions out of the way, the volley-ball awards were up first.
This year’ Grade 6/7 girls volleyball MVP was Josee Schatkoske. Meanwhile, Ali LaMotte and Adam Schatkoske were named the junior girls and boys MVPs, respectively. At the senior level, Alexis Stoch-manski was named senior B girls MVP, after captain-ing the B team in a strong season in spite of her busy curling schedule, and Re-bekka Potts earned Se-nior A girls MVP honours, marking the second year that she earned the title.
Once the MVP certifi-cates were handed out, the 6/7 girls volleyball team was brought up on stage for a special recognition of their strong season, which saw them claim the Prince Albert and Area Athletics Association’s (P4A) Cham-pionship banner.
Shifting gears to cross-country, there were three awards to hand out. This year, Leah Naumann earned junior girls MVP honours, while Cohen Tait earned the junior boys MVP title for the second consecutive year. Dawson Stieb, meanwhile, took home the senior boys MVP award.
“Everything is a race track for this kid. You name it, and he has to be first,” said cross-country team coach Nicole Philp of Tait. “His competitive spirit is what makes him so difficult to beat out on the cross-country course.”
Moving onto basketball, the Grade 6 and 7 girls and boys MVP awards were handed out to Deziree Steib
and Brandon Dingwall, re-spectively, while Brayden Payette earned 7/8 boys MVP honours, and Maris-sa Skavlebo took home the 9/10 girls MVP title.
Rounding out the hon-ours, Tyson Crawford was named the senior boys MVP, and the 9/10 girls basketball team was rec-ognized for winning the North Central League championship.
“The year’s MVP leads by example. His ability and dedication to the game of basketball allow him to be dominant in most areas,” said coach Devon Thorpe of Crawford.
Keeping the morning rolling, the attention was turned to curling, where Payten Keyowski was named Junior Girls MVP for the second consecutive year, and Mason Mamchur earned junior boys MVP honours.
In the senior category, Alexis Stochmanski was once again named the girls’ MVP, and Brennan Stoch-manski earned MVP hon-ours for the boys.
“The senior female MVP in curling goes to an indi-vidual who is dedicated, had the drive to improve her skills, and encouraged others to be their best,” said coach Rhonda Ber-ezowski of Alexis Stoch-manski. “I can’t wait to see her compete in the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in years to come.”
Following a strong bad-minton season, six MVP awards were given out, including the Grade 6/7 girls MVP award to Brielle Empey-MecVickers and Deziree Stieb, and the 6/7 boys MVP award to Colton Sommerfeld and Brody An-derson.
Meanwhile, Kassie Fer-
ster and Megan Cameron were the junior girls MVPs, and Adam Schatkoske and Brayden Payette were the junior boys MVPs.
At the senior girls level, Marissa Skavlebo earned the MVP nod, after going undefeated en route to a provincial title in her first year of eligibility, and Sam Miller claimed the senior boys MVP title.
Once these awards were handed out, the 6/7 and 7/8 badminton teams were recognized for their cham-pionship banner winning seasons. And, although her banner had yet to arrive at the school, Skavlebo was also commended for her provincials victory.
“The senior girls MVP is awarded to a player who continues to show great promise and passion for the game. Her drive and commitment to the game is second to none,” said coach Devon Thorpe of Skavlebo.
In track and field, four MVP awards were handed out, starting with the ju-nior female MVP award, which was presented to Brooke Cadrain, and the junior male MVP award, which went to Carson Led-ding.
Among seniors, Hunter Tremblay was named se-nior female MVP for her fourth place finish in jav-elin at provincials, and Landon Greening earned senior male MVP honours.
“No stranger to awards and accolades, this year’s senior female track MVP can be seen perfecting ev-ery nuance of her skills in the early mornings at track practice, or even on the weekends on her own time,” said Philp of Trem-blay.
Wrapping up the student athletic awards were the football awards. This year, Ethan Bell earned most versatile player honours, while Riley Crawford was named the team’s lineman of the year. Elsewhere, Lance Paton earned rookie of the year honours, Corbin Long earned the heart and soul award, and Sam Mill-er was named the team’s MVP.
“This year’s winner showed a never quit atti-tude, led by example and in the tough parts of the games when we were down, and would never quit,” said Thorpe of Miller.

Numbers from ball tourney paint positive picture
After a few extra days of tallying, the bean counters for Shellbrook Minor Sports have add-ed up most of the num-bers, and, by and large, those numbers paint a positive picture for the state of minor ball in the community.
In non-fiscal num-bers, Shellbrook Minor Sports’ year-end ball tournament was an un-qualified success that saw some 50 teams come out to play more than 60 games of ball on June 15 and 16 (not counting the Midget tournament ac-
tion that took place on Thursday, June 13).
Financially speaking, though, Shellbrook Mi-nor Sports’ Tricia Bell says the two-day tour-nament brought in over $5,000.
“The Parkland Minor Ball playoff weekend was excellent. I cannot believe that the weather actually held out for us to get all the games in,” Bell said, noting that the canteen was busy throughout the entire weekend.
While the financial numbers are no doubt
important, what mat-tered most to the kids participating in the tour-nament was who was number one after the last pitch was thrown.
At the mite level, the Spiritwood squad took the boys title, and the Canwood team earned the win on the girls side. Meanwhile, the Shell-brook squirt boys were able to hit their way to the top, and the Spirit-wood squirt girls were able to do the same on their side of the action.
At the peewee level, the Shellbrook boys
squad once again pulled out the victory, while the Debden girls’ team won out on the female peewee side. In bantam action, meanwhile, Big River proved to be the team to beat.
Rounding out the tour-nament results, Deb-den’s bantam-midget girls won out on their side of the action, and Debden’s midget boys team won the tourna-
ment title.Bell says the tourna-
ment would not have been the success it was without a whole lot of community support, from those that volun-teered to work shifts in the canteen, to those who performed routine diamond maintenance, to the folks making the tough calls during the
games.“Shellbrook Minor
Sports could not have done this without their support,” she said.
“We also want to give a “shout out” to the um-pires for the weekend. The game cannot be played without the um-pires, so we appreciate them taking their time to do a great job.”
The tournament-winning Big River Bantam team. The Debden Peewee girls had a strong weekend. The Shellbrook Peewee boys were one of two Shell-brook teams to win their tournament. The squirt boys were the other team.
The Brian Tremblay Junior Memo-rial Golf tournament took place on Tuesday, June 11 at the Hidden Hills golf course. The tournament is held annually in honour of Brian Tremblay who passed away suddenly in 2013. He was a beloved local teacher and an avid coach and player of numerous sports. Last year was a July rain out and can-cellation due to the weather, but, this year, 63 golfers came out for the day.
This year’s event saw lady golfers compete across three age groups, while the boys competed across four.
In the 12 and under boys group, Colton Sommerfeld came out on top after shooting a 53 on the day after one round.
After one round, Ava Ledding and Abby Ledding were the 12 and under girls winners with a score of 56 each.
Cohen Tait is the 14 and under boys with a score of 44 after 1 round.
Marissa Skavlebo is the 16 and under girls champion, with a score of 108 af-ter two rounds on the day.
Eddie Yee and Torr Gosselin were the 16 and under boys winners after shoot-ing a score of 100 after two rounds.
Hunter Tremblay won the 18 and un-der girls competition by shooting a 90 with two rounds on the day.
Sam Miller was the 18 and under boys champ, finishing with a score of 96 after two rounds on the day.
A heartfelt round of appreciation goes out to the clubhouse, which provided
lunch for the golfers. Also, gratitude goes to all the parents who supported the golfers, whether it was transport-ing, chaperoning or providing the can-teen cart for refreshments.
The golf course is very appreciative to all the golfers who supported and en-joyed the day.
This was an event that will hopefully provide preparation for the Saskatche-wan High School Athletics Association who will be hosting Provincial golf in Estevan this September.
The day generated interest and dis-cussion that may in the future fill a full team and singles players.

Home run assault in Major League BaseballBaseball has come a
long way in the past 100 or so years, since Frank Baker was given the name ‘Home Run’ Baker because he led the Amer-ican League in homers four years in a row. His career total: 96. His best season: 1913, when he hit 12. Yawn!
The home run is back in Major League Baseball. Total home run records in 2019 are likely going to be shattered; individual single-season marks are in jeopardy; and rookie sluggers are becoming household names.
“Home run hitters drive Cadillacs and sin-gles hitters drive Fords” is a popular baseball say-ing, often attributed to Pittsburgh Pirates slug-ger Ralph Kiner.
In 2019, the home-run metaphor is more likely related to money: Home-run hitters get $300 million multi-year contracts; singles hitters starve by comparison.
Last year’s New York Yankees, led by Giancar-lo Stanton and Aaron Judge, broke the single-
season team record for homers with 266. This year, at not quite the half-way point, three teams — Minnesota Twins, Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers — are on pace to eclipse that mark. The Twins, in fact, would finish with 326 blasts if they maintained their current pace.
In Canada, the home-run story has centred around rookie Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., who was called up to the Blue Jays in late April and slammed seven homers in his first 40 games, a full-season pace of close to 30. Guerrero, Jr., how-ever, is not even close to being the top home-run-hitting rookie; that hon-our goes to Pete Alonso of the New York Mets, a 24-year-old first base-man whose 23 homers through June 16 left him only three shy of the Mets’ single-season rookie record (Darryl Strawberry, 1983).
Anther freshman star is Atlanta’s Austin Riley, who was leading the AAA International League in
homers when he was called up by the Braves on May 15. In his first 29 MLB games, he belted 11 homers. And how about Houston rookie Yordon Alvarez, who hit four home runs in his first five games. How does Home Run Alvarez sound?
Overall, the home-run leaders in MLB were Milwaukee’s Christian Yelich, whose 26 homers in 63 games was proof that his MVP season of 2018 was not a fluke. Alonso, almost certain-ly the National League rookie-of-the-year fa-vourite, was tied with the Dodgers’ Cody Bell-inger for runner-up with
22. Edwin Encarnacion, the A.L. home run leader with Seattle, was traded June 15 to the Yankees to add to their Murderers’ Row.
With the World Series on the line this October, don’t be surprised to see a walk-off home run end the 2019 season.
• Richard Deitsch of The Athletic, follow-ing criticism of the U.S. women’s soccer team routing Thailand 13-0 in a World Cup soccer game: “I believe Sec-retariat should have slowed up in the 1973 Belmont Stakes so as not to beat Twice a Prince by 31 lengths.”

Looking forward to a great season at HoneywoodBy Judy Harley
Gardenscape at the end of March was a successful time for us. We visited with old friends and new and sold a lot of lil-ies. It was such a great venue to adver-tise the where, who and what we are.
Celebrate the Coming of Spring! April 28 was a great evening of fun and en-tertainment. The people and business-es of our vast community really came through for us with over 80 items do-nated to the auction.
Last fall we named a very beautiful Porter Lily seedling ‘Beverly Ann’ in memory of our great friend, Bev Peter-son.
This lily has never been sold, nor can it be found anywhere else. We added 3 bulbs as a unit, to the auction and were very happy when they sold for the un-heard of price of $1,200. Appreciation to Toby for your amazing bid!
Wet and cool weather hampered the potting of the lilies and perennials for the first week of May, but, with help from a few great volunteers, once the potting began it went quickly.
Spring cleanup of the nursery is al-ways a lot of work but Lorna and Mark
joined by our student, Kent, did a great job at turning the grounds into a place of beauty.
If you have been out to Honeywood in the past few years you will remember how bad our big field look. It was once empty of lilies, with nothing but weeds growing.
Thanks to Gary (Butch) Peake, well rotted manure was spread over the en-tire field, then it was planted to fall rye. It now is lush and green and on its way to restoration.
Mark planted fall rye between all the lily rows to regenerate those fields and to help with weed control. It looks amazing out there.
Little Tree Nursery in Martensville closed their business last year and will be missed by gardeners throughout the area.
We bought and they donated a lot of great items, including trees, pots, a la-bel printer and labels and a cash reg-ister, just to mention a few things. Ap-preciation to Darrel and Dea for your generosity.
We applied and were successful with our Canada Summer Jobs grant. This
grant allotted us funding to help hire summer help.
Although it does not by any means cover the cost of wages for the full sum-mer, it does make it possible to hire the help needed.
We will be undertaking a major proj-ect in the house this summer. For years, the basement has had a water problem and the old concrete walls have always been cracked and bowed.
The Saskatchewan Heritage Foun-dation have been advising us for years to have the problem fixed. Last year, we hired a structural engineering firm to advise us on the best and most eco-nomical procedure to do this. We then applied for a Heritage grant to help with the cost and received funding to cover half of the expense.
Now the other half is still pricey, so before we even started on this process we consulted with Malcolm Jenkins, owner of the Prince Albert Canadian Tire to see if he would help us once again. As a result of his love of Honey-wood and his generosity we will be able to move forward with this very impor-tant project.
Lorna made arrangements with Lehner Wood Products to get a truck load of free mulch, much needed for our garden paths. We now are looking for someone with a dump truck that would be available to pick it up and deliver to the nursery. If you or you know of some-one that would be able to do this please let us know.
Our second event of the season, Lilies in Bloom is July 21, and with all the new lily plantings and fall rye cover in the fields it will be an amazing sight to see.
For anyone attending past Lilies in Bloom events, I am sure you will re-member Doug, our friend from Edmon-ton, making and offering his great lily bouquets for a simple donation.
We are sad to say he will not be able help us out this time, so we are looking for volunteers to take his place this year.
If you or someone you know would like to take on this activity please con-tact us via phone: 306-747-3307 or email. We would greatly appreciate it!
Appreciation goes to our great staff, volunteers and visitors for making Hon-eywood such a beautiful and unique place.

Prep your tires for summer road trips(NC) Without proper preparation, a
getaway can become difficult or even dangerous – especially when your tires fail. Whether you’re headed across the country or to the cottage, it’s vital to check your tires before a long trip, since they’re one of your car’s most important safety instruments.
Here’s a safety checklist to follow before you leave for your beautiful journeys this season.
Check your tire pressure. Low tire pressure makes blowouts more likely and harms gas mileage. Use a pres-sure gauge to ensure every tire is in-
flated to your car’s recommended tire pressure. You can find this informa-tion on a sticker inside the passenger door or in your car’s owner manual. If your tires are underinflated, take them to a dealer for a fill-up or do it yourself – many gas stations have in-flation machines.
Make sure your tread depth is ad-equate. The lower your tire’s tread, the less responsive it is to the road – especially in the rain. Therefore, it’s important to make sure you’ve got enough tread life to keep you safe.
To check your tread, place a quar-
ter upside down inside your tread grooves. If you see the tip of the cari-bou’s nose, your tread is shallow and it’s time to replace your tires. Even easier, Nokian Tyres products feature a driving safety indicator that tells you how much tread life you have left.
Get rotated and aligned. If it’s been between 10,000 and 12,000 kilome-tres since you’ve had your tires rotat-ed, drop by your tire dealership to get that done. Uneven tread wear can lead to unstable driving and higher noise levels coming from your tires, and it may be a sign of a mechanical issue
with your vehicle. While the car is at the shop, ask your dealer to check your alignment, too. Proper alignment can help extend the life of your tires, while poor alignment can lead to rapid and uneven deterioration in tread wear.
Check your spare. Nobody ever wants to have to use their spare tire, but when you encounter a road haz-ard it’s vital to have one safe and ready. When you’re rolling through this checklist with your primary tires, make sure your spare is properly in-flated and still has solid tread depth.

The garden that healsBy Patricia HanbidgeGardens are often the one
place that we find peace. In that peaceful space we can find a balance not often found in the frenzy of ev-eryday life. When we take the time to pause and re-flect, it is also the opportu-nity to heal, to be inspired or to contemplate.
Throughout time people have sought out gardens as a healing place. The thera-peutic benefit of gardens is well known as even images of natural spaces and gar-dens help to reduce stress-ful thoughts. If you look back to medieval times the only gardens that survived were those that were en-closed in monasteries or castles. Herbariums within the monasteries were basi-cally a garden laboratory for herbalist monks. The gar-dens most often contained medicinal and culinary herbs. With the modern-ization of the world, using the garden as a healing el-ement did diminish. How-ever, interest in alternative therapies and a blending of
east and west knowledge of healing has helped to again promote the healing of the whole person – a blend of the mind, the body and the spirit. This trend has also helped the resurgence of the healing garden.
A healing garden can be really any kind of gar-den. It is a space that helps people to feel better, safer, less stressed and even more comfortable. However, in order for people to feel com-fortable the space needs to be functional. The amount of maintenance also needs to be manageable so as to reduce the stress of keep-ing up with yet another chore! In the same vein of producing less stress, the space needs to be economi-cally and environmentally sound. It needs to be a vi-sually pleasant space to ensure that it brings joy to those the visit it.
A healing garden will usually not be chaotic but will be simplistic in de-sign. There will be enough variety to provide interest but not so much as to be
unsettling. The balance of the space will be stable to help provide again reduced stress. Any transitions in the garden will appear to be almost effortless and be smooth and flowing. The scale of the plantings will be appropriate for the peo-ple that come to view it.
The design of the garden should help keep any in-trusive noises out by using berms and plant material to create a place of peace. It is nice to create some spaces within the garden that are more private in nature to provide small peaceful places to rest or contem-plate. If possible create a variety of seating options for those with different physical needs. Small water features are also nice with the sound of running water being soothing to most.
There has been another trend or interest in creat-ing labyrinths in gardens. The interesting thing about labyrinths is that they are found in almost every major religious tradition around the world. For over 4,000
years, they have been part of cultures such as Celtic, Mayan, Native American and Greek. The labyrinth itself is a sacred space not unlike Stonehenge or the pyramids. They come in many different forms and are used for reflection, prayer and comfort.
The labyrinth is not a maze. A maze has many dead ends and is a challenge to find your way through it. A labyrinth consists of only one path that leads into the centre and back out again. The journey along the path in the labyrinth is meant to be done slowly turning 180 degrees each time you enter a different circuit. As you physically switch circuits the awareness in your brain also switches from right to left to help induce receptive states of consciousness. The walk is a purely personal ex-perience. How you choose to walk and the experience you receive may be different and dependant on what you are seeking. Some walk to help clear their mind while
others use the experience to sort out a concern. When reaching the centre many will meditate, pray or just receive or reflect.
Sometimes the experi-ence is profound while oth-er times it might be purely a pleasant walk. May you en-joy the outdoors during this growing season!

FERSTER – Mrs. Helene1922 – 2019Our mother, Helen Fer-
ster, was born August 30th, 1922 in Markinch, Saskatchewan. She never had a second name, so she chose one for herself, Susan. She was the eighth child of Fredrick and Em-ily Butz. When she was 5 years old, the family moved from Markinch to the town of Canwood, in the Boro Green District. The kids attended Boro Green school. Mom and her siblings would walk to school with their lunch pails and in the winter brother Frank would sometimes pick them up from school with a horse
and sled.Mom had talked about
the sewing her mother did for them, she sewed all their clothes and didn’t need a pattern, she would just look at an outfit and then she would sew it. They had a big garden and Grannie was a great cook, which I would say she passed on to all of her daughters.
Mom finished her grade 8, then worked for the neighbors and for her sister Laura. Mom met Daddy ~ Theodor Ferster at one these work places, he was part of a thresh-ing crew. In the winter he worked at logging camps and in the sum-mer worked for farmers. Dad was born in Poland in 1918.
Mom and Dad were married November 22nd, 1942 at her parents’ home in Boro Green. Their first home was on the same quarter as Dad’s par-ents (Edward and Emilie Ferster) in the Meadow Groove area of Leask. Their first 4 children were born at the farm,Shirley, Rodney and Emilie. The
midwife was Dad’s sis-ter, Auntie Olga Kuhn. In 1952 Dad bought a black-smith and welding shop in Leask, and we moved to town. The next 4 children were born in the Shell-brook Hospital, Theone, Terry, Dennis and Janice. A niece, Rita Sommerfeldt came to live with us when she was in grade 3. The older children attended Meadow Groove school, and once in Leask, we all attended Leask school. We attended the Bright-holme Luthern church until it burnt down, then the congregation moved to Leask.
Mom was a stay at home mom. Our big meal of the day was at noon and left-overs for super. Imagine peeling enough potatoes for 2 meals a day for 10 people every day! Dad didn’t like rice or noodles so potatoes it was! Some-times Mom would have enough potatoes left just for Dad and we could have spaghetti or macaroni!
Saturday eveings in the winter Dad and most of us kids would attend the Leask hockey games.
Mom would be home bak-ing the cinnamon buns, bread and bins that she had spent all day making. The table and counters would be covered with baking and we’d get to eat some of that goodness when we got home! After all that baking we still had to buy fresh bread from the Musich bakery.
Mom was apart of the Leask Luthern ladies. She loved to read and bor-rowed many many books from the Leask library. In later years the librar-ians would even deliver books to her. Mom also did crocheting and knit-ting in her “spare” time and making baby quilts for her grandchildren.
In the summertime we usually spent Sundays at Island Lake or Boggy Lake. Mom and Dad had to cook fish for all of us and we usually had com-pany, so Sundays were no picnic for Mom! Besides frying fish she had to bring the rest of the meal too and then pack every-thing up to take home and clean. No paper plates back then! Us girls always did the dishes so it was probably our job to clean up so she would hopefully get some rest!
Mom enjoyed visits with her sisters in Canwood. We would go on a Sun-day and lots of times her sisters and their families came to visit too. Gran-nies house seems small now, but we all managed to fit in comfortably.
Mom did her share of babysitting for her grand-kids and honorary grand-kids. When Dad died in 1989, Mom continued to live in her house in Leask for about another 25 years. She made a few trips to Calhoun, Georgia to visit Shirley, Mike and the girls. She moved into Whispering Pines in Can-wood when she couldn’t be on her own anymore. Two of her sisters, Kay and Hildegarde came to live with her as well. The Whispering Pines staff were so good to her there, a big thank you to them for making it as close to “home” as can be.
Helene is lovingly sur-vived by her children,
Shirley (Mike) Young-blood and their children, Michelle (Mike) Cromer and family; Susan (Jud-son) McGivaren and family; Rodney Ferster and children, Dallas, Nathan and Nigel; Emi-lie (Andrew) Neveu and children, Connie (Paul) Newton and family; Lynn (Brian) Martin and fami-ly; Gail (Kevin) Johnstone and family; Joy (Steve) Snider and family; The-one (Rodney) Barber and children, Tracey (Brad) Dupuis and family; Jeff Barber and family; Da-vid (Kirby) Barber; Terry (Fred) Valmont and chil-dren, Cheryl (Trevor) Be-aton and family; Melanie (Mike) Wittig and family; Rachelle (Garett) Anholt and family; Justin (Ra-chel) Valmont and fam-ily; David (Chantal) Val-mont and family; Dennis (Fran) Ferster and chil-dren, Jonathan (Dallas) Ferster and family; Karen Jansen and family; Jan-ice (Warren) Muller and children, Tara (Shaun) Kerber and family; Di-onne (Valerie) Muller and family; her daughter in law Gloria Ferster and children, Cindy (Vince) Giguere and family; Clay (Angie) Royer and fam-ily; her granddaughter, Angie Ferster and fam-ily; her special niece, Rita (Frances) Kunz and her children, Annalea (Mark) Sookeroff and family; Jamie (James) Dyok and family; her 49 great grand children and 8 great great grandchildren; her sister: Hildegarde Butz; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Helene is predeceased by, her husband Teodor Ferster; her son Larry Fer-ster; her daughter in law Bev Ferster; her grand-son Lionel Ferster; her parents Emilie and Fred Butz; her siblings Laura (Karl) Strelau, Frank Butz, Hedwig Butz, Edith Butz, John Butz, Emma (Fred) Kingsland, Kather-ine (Elwood) Haugen; her in-laws Emilie (Edward) Ferster, Adolph (Valerie) Ferster, Elsie Ferster, Ludwig (Anna) Ferster, Olga (Adolph) Kuhn, Leo-pold (Hilda) Ferster, Nat-alie (Rudolph) Sommer-

Helene will be laid to rest in the Brightholme Cemetery.

MILLER – Doreen Ledzie
January 28, 1923 - June 21, 2019
Doreen Ledzie Miller passed away on June 21st, 2019 at 96 years of age at her home in Shellbrook, SK. Doreen immigrated with her parents from Poland in 1929 when she was 6 years old. She attend-ed school at Cookson and later worked at the Holy Family Hospital
in Prince Albert, SK. In 1946 she married Jo-seph Miller and settled on a farm in the Rayside area, later moving to the Rich Valley District. Doreen worked hard on the farm, also growing a huge garden from which she sold vegetables. Her passion was growing the largest tomatoes that anyone had ever seen, and she enjoyed this hobby to the very end. It is fitting that she passed away in her gar-den while taking care of her plants.
Doreen was prede-ceased by her parents: Stanley and Angela Mo-cha; her parents-in-law: John and Mary Miller; her brother: Ed; and her six brothers-in-law and four sisters-in-law.
She is survived by her four children: Bet-ty (Allan) Sellers, Bob (Linda) Miller, Lois
(Craig) Kurpiuweit, and Nancy Miller; her sev-en grandchildren, two s te p - g r a ndc h i ld r en , two great-grandchil-dren, one sister-in- law and brother-in-law, and numerous nieces and nephews.
A Private Graveside Service will be held at Shellbrook Cemetery. In lieu of other tributes donations in memory of Doreen may be direct-ed to Shellbrook and Districts Heath Ser-vices Foundation, Box 1065 Shellbrook, SK S0J 2E0.

Myths about grilling and BBQing, debunkedGrillmasters and pitmasters work
hard to produce mouth-watering fare. Many may develop secret recipes, rubs, sauces, and cooking techniques all in the name of flavorful food.
Certain myths about grilling and barbecuing have prevailed through the years. Such misconceptions may discourage newcomers from picking up their tongs and spatulas. Setting the record straight about common grilling myths can be just what people need to embrace cooking foods over an open flame.
Myth #1: Hosting a barbecue is the same as cooking barbecue.
Fact: Barbecue is the process of cooking foods slowly with low heat, typically in a smoker. Having a bar-becue is an informal backyard party where foods cooked over a grill are served.
Myth #2: You can tell the tempera-ture of the grill by placing your hand over the grates.
Fact: Everyone reacts differently to heat, so the best way to gauge temper-ature is by using a thermometer.
Myth #3: Grilled chicken is done when the juices run clear.
Fact: Even well-done chicken can form juices that are pink-hued. It’s from a protein called myoglobin, ac-cording to the book “Meathead: The Science of Great Barbecue and Grill-ing.” Use a cooking thermometer to learn when poultry is safe to eat, typi-cally at 160 to 165 F.
Myth #4: Marinating is best for grilling and tenderizing.
Fact: It seems that marinades re-ally do not penetrate much beyond the surface of the meat and can keep the outer surface of the food wet, prevent-ing searing and browning. Rubs and salts can be more effective at adding flavor. Serve a dipping sauce for addi-tional flavor if people desire.
Myth #5: Light up the whole grill for best cooking.
Fact: Temperature control is a key component of effective grilling and barbecuing. Having two temperature zones - direct, radiant heat for sear-ing, and an indirect zone for grilling meat evenly and preventing burning - can make food more tasty.
Myth #6: More smoke equals better food.
Fact: When cooking, faint wisps of blue smoke are better because blue smoke is made of tiny invisible par-ticles and gases created by small, hot, fast-burning fires. White smoke gen-erally comes from smoldering wood that is starved for oxygen, states the cooking site Food52. All of that white smoke can affect the flavor of the food.
Myth #7: Oil the grates to prevent food from sticking.
Fact: This may or may not work, depending on the temperature of the grates when the oil is applied. A better method is to oil the food, which will be cold so the oil will keep from burning and cracking.
