Melville scores the ‘double’City to host

Tankard and ScottiesBy Chris AshfieldGrasslands News

For the first time in Saskatchewan, one community has been chosen to host both the men’s and women’s provincial curling championship in a single event.

In a press conference held at the Horizon Credit Union Centre (HCUC) on May 8, members of Curl-Sask and the Melville Curling Club announced that Melville has been awarded both the SaskTel Tankard Men’s and the Viterra Scotties Women’s Provincial Championship for next year. The combined event, which will bring the best women’s and men’s curling teams to Melville for nine days of curling, will be held from Jan. 24 to Feb. 2, 2020 at the HCUC.

“We are confident in the experience we have gained in hosting the men’s SaskTel Tankard in 2015 and women’s Viterra Scotties in 2017, that we will be able to put on a first class event,” said Larry Peterson, chair of the host committee. “We are very excited and looking forward to hosting this event.”

Bringing the two major events to the community will require the support of the city, business commu-nity, fans and 150 to 200 volunteers, but Peterson is confident the committee will make the provincial championships a huge success. The committee has already started working on the event, having known about their successful bid for several weeks, and al-ready has much of the work done, sponsorship pack-ages mailed out and committees formed.

“We have everything pretty much in place because we hosted the 2017 ladies’ and the 2015 men’s and it’s basically going to be the same thing. The only differ-ence will be that we are going to have an extra few days,” said Peterson.

Holding both events at once will cause some logis-tical challenges with issues such as lodging but Pe-terson is confident it is manageable, depending on the final draws, because the ladies will start first and end Wednesday and the men’s will start and end the following Sunday

“I think we will be OK — it will only be maybe a day where we will have both men’s and women’s teams here. In that case rooms will become tight,” said Peterson.

Mayor Walter Streelasky referred to the news as an honour for Melville and said he is pleased and ex-cited that the city is able to host the two tournaments, saying it is a testament to the events held in 2015 and 2017.

“I think we were able as a community to prove that we are able to host this event in a successful manner.

This will just spur that excite-ment in our community one more time,” said Streelasky.

DOG & CAT GROOMINGMillionhairs Grooming

Why Dogs Eat Grass Dog owners oft en wonder if it is normal for their dog to eat grass, and associate grass eating with illness, but in most cases the dog is not unwell. Dogs likely eat grass as a digestive aid, or to source minerals that may be lacking in their diet. Animals in the wild have always used plants, clay, and other natural sources to prevent and cure illnesses. Th ey have evolved an innate ability to know which plants they need, and how to use them, to combat digestive problems, parasites, worms, infections and more. Th is practice of self-medicating is called Zoopharmacognosy, derived from the Greek “zoo” (meaning animal), “pharmaco” (remedy), and “gnosy” (knowing). Our pets generally lack the freedom to go roam and forage for what they need, but domestication has not interfered with their knowledge of how to self-medicate. Th ere are now practitioners who replicate the experience of foraging by off ering a choice of herbs and plant extracts that would commonly be found in the animal’s natural environment, and allowing them to sniff and select the ones they need. Th e next time you see your dog eating grass, you can relax knowing that you are witnessing your pet using their natural born instinct to heal themselves. Keep in mind, however, that the use of certain lawn products can be harmful to your pet if ingested.

Lei Wang – AssessorCity of Melville

How do Municipal Budgets work? Our annual budget process has been focused on “risk based” analysis over the past several years. In other words, those things that appear to have the highest risk attached, receive the highest priority. This doesn’t mean that everything rated as a higher risk receive attention in the same year. Simply put, there is not enough money available to do that, resulting in some things having to wait their turn unfortunately – no diff erent than the way many people or businesses practice in their daily lives. Analyzing risk, establishes budget priorities based on risk. So, you could say that we use a combined process of risk-based and priority-based budgeting. Back to “asset management” for a moment, we have invested a signifi cant eff ort in evaluating the condition and lifespan of municipal assets in recent years. Now it is time for action to invest in infrastructure. More to the point, the 2019 budget starts to implement the asset management plan and there is much more investment required in the coming years. Another step that is being introduced is commonly referred to as “service delivery based budgeting”, where we will analyze every component of the services that we delivery. The focus of this method of budgeting introduces the concept of balancing eff ective programming with effi cient delivery of the programming. “Program” means absolutely everything that we do, from how we issue a cheque to pay an invoice, to how we clear snow, to how we book users and events at HCUC, etc. Sometimes the values of “eff ective” and “effi cient” collide, and sometimes these values can be challenging to measure. Effi ciency is often measured by quantifi able (a bit easier than qualitative measuring) means – statistics, money spent and/or received, labour hours, etc. Eff ectiveness is often measured by feedback – diff erence between needs and wants, citizen and taxpayer satisfaction, are expectations being met (determined through feedback), etc. There are times that a program’s eff ectiveness can be negatively impacted by focusing only on effi ciency, and vice verse. I have often said, and continue to say, that the annual budget is the single greatest policy decision that a Council makes annually. Essentially, the policy decision is how and where to spend the money, in the best interest of the community as a whole. Management’s role and responsibility is to implement that decision on behalf of Council. This forms the foundation of fi duciary responsibility for both Council and Management, which I will address in a future article. The eff ectiveness of this entire process will depend on the extent that you take interest through citizen engagement and community consultation. It is imperative that citizens and taxpayers get involved to the extent of, fi rst, be well informed of what is happening, focus on the facts, and skip the rumours – or better yet, be brave enough to “fact check” with us. And second, get involved through your feedback to both Council and Management. Regardless of the eff ort we put into the budgeting process, there will always be critics. We accept that as a natural course of the business we are engaged in, otherwise known as public service and it is the beauty of a democratic society. It is up to you to participate, it is your community. By the way, thank you for you feedback on the last article. There will be more to follow as we move forward.

City Manager

Know your coverageSubmitted

The Financial and Consumer Af-fairs Authority (FCAA) wants you to understand what your insurance policy covers so that you are protected in case of an extreme weather event. Have you considered whether your home and car are protected from hail and wind dam-age when summer rolls around?

“Severe weather and natural disas-ters are sometimes an unfortunate reality in our spring and summer months,” said Jan Seibel, the FCAA’s insurance and real estate division di-rector. “However, being prepared is key. It’s important to obtain adequate insurance for your property in case it is damaged by severe weather.”Here are some severeweather tips to consider:

1. Know what’s covered — Read your policy, find out what types of damage are covered and what types are not. Certain types of damages may not be covered in a standard home policy. For instance, overland flooding usually re-quires a separate endorsement added to the standard policy

2. Contact an insurance company, agent or broker if you have any ques-tions — They will be able to help you find the coverage that suits your needs and protects your property in the event of severe weather damage.

3. Be prepared in case of a severe weather emergency by making a plan: • Have a home inventory of your belong-ings including an estimate of the value of each item. If your home or contents are damaged, you will be required to prove your loss. Before damage occurs, take photos of your belongings and store the files or pictures in a safe place for future reference.• Have emergency supply kits for your home and vehicle. This should include

items such as a flashlight, food and water, first-aid kit, blankets and extra clothing.• Have an evacuation plan. It’s import-ant to be prepared and establish desig-nated meeting places for your family, alternate routes out of your area, means of transportation and arrangements for pets.• Take precautions around your home. Secure loose items that may be damaged or cause damage in strong winds. Keep gutters and downspouts clear to keep water moving away from your home.The Provincial Disaster Assistance Program

The Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP) helps Saskatchewan residents and municipalities recover from natural disasters. Once a com-munity has applied and been approved as being impacted by a natural disas-ter, PDAP will assist with the costs to replace or repair uninsurable essential items. PDAP will also assist with costs for cleanup from the disaster and for temporary relocation if required.

PDAP is not intended to compete with private insurers or to provide full replacement coverage. Reimbursement of costs from PDAP are based on the depreciated or pre-disaster condition on essential items and prescribed rates are established for cleanup and other disaster-related costs.

For more information about PDAP, visit https: //www.sas-katchewan.ca /residents/environ-ment -publ ic -hea lth-and-sa fety/access-funding-through-the-provin-cial-disaster-assistance-program.

With this being Emer-gency Awareness Week, hopefully everyone has taken a look at the in-formation that is shared and will act upon the tips to help them in any situation that may arise. While types of emergen-cies vary in different areas, the main message stays the same – Be Pre-pared.

The events taking place in our country lately — floods and fires and soon tornado season, to name a few — show us how important it is to be prepared for things that may transpire and affect our family and homes. Our communities are working continually to help keep us safe and it is our responsibility to do what we can to prepare our families or house-holds in the event of an emergency.

Emergency services include an array of peo-ple, all working together in an organized chain of command to reduce the affects of an emergency. In Saskatchewan we have SaskAlert, the system that gives a warning to people by television, radio and phone that an emer-gency has been reported and you should be pre-pared. Many people have cellular phones. How many of these people are aware or have checked or know about SaskAlert for your area? Possibly your community has its own alert system as well. Are you aware of what it is and when it will be used?

If an emergency were to arise, many communi-ties have an Emergency Management Organiza-tion (EMO). These or-ganizations are usually groups of volunteers that have been organized with a plan of response by a local co-ordinator and their team of commit-tee chairs. A lot of work goes into developing the emergency plan so when the emergency arises, everyone is ready. There is no time to develop a plan when an emergency

strikes. The sooner a plan is put into action, the lesser the risk of damage and even death. The plan must be kept up-to-date with names, contact num-bers and available re-sources. This is no small chore for any community co-ordinator. If you have ever looked at an emer-gency plan, you would see just how important the outcome of an emergency becomes due to the orga-nization being prepared. These vast numbers of people ready to volunteer to be on a committee for an Emergency Measures Plan is what makes an emergency plan work.

The EMO will un-doubtedly call on your fire department, ambu-lance service, municipal employees and in some instances may reach out to organizations. Again, these people may be vol-unteers, and even as employees, they take training, donate for fund-raisers for equipment and continually keep orga-nized and updated to as-sist when any emergency threatens their commu-nity or area.

These are the peo-ple who will deal with the overall impact of the emergency and will be there to help you when there is need. It is not too much to ask that as individuals, we become knowledgeable, be pre-pared in your own home or for your own evacua-tion if required should an emergency arise.

We have seen, and seem to be experiencing an increase in the risks of flooding, grass and brush fires, structure fires, mass casualties, danger-ous goods being trans-ported and to some yes, even acts of terrorism.

An emergency could happen in an instant. Grass fires can quickly become wild fires. Thun-derstorms can create floods or fires. Tornadoes are increasing in num-ber over the past several years. A structure can burn in minutes and then

spread. A train can de-rail. A mass casualty on the highway could hap-pen at any time. A water problem could last days. Dangerous goods could spill and drift into your air space. The list goes on.

Thank the people who volunteer to keep us safe. And just as important, take a few minutes to learn what could help you or what you could do if you are in an emergency.

This week is a re-minder to do your part. Prepare your home and family.

“It is dangerous tobe right when the

government is wrong.” Voltaire

Everyone is responsible for emergency preparedness

Carbon tax win may be far awayScott Moe has lost

the carbon tax fight, although this may be a temporary setback as the Saskatchewan pre-mier suggests.

There will be simi-lar court challenges in Manitoba and Ontario, culminating with a likely challenge before the Supreme Court of Can-ada that Moe feels confident will overturn the 3-2 Saskatchewan Court of Appeal ruling.

And even before any of that happens, there is a federal election this fall in which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government may be de-feated by Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives. The polls now suggest the tide has turned on the Trudeau government and not just in the West. It is certainly Moe’s fondest hope that the Liberals lose this fall — something he has all but outright stated.

What if that doesn’t happen?The election is still five months away and a lot

can happen between now and then. Given that what we are seeing now is a spread of only a few percent-age points between the Liberals and Conservative, a Scheer win is hardly a sure thing.

That leaves Moe with the notion of future victo-ries in other courts. Unfortunately, contrary to Moe’s Stanley Cup analogy, court decisions in other prov-inces mean little. Moreover, given the strength in the majority ruling of the Saskatchewan court, there is little to suggest courts in other provinces will come to conclusions that are much different.

“Neither level of government has exclusive au-thority over the environment,” the Saskatchewan

court wrote, in its 155-page decision. “As a result, Parliament can legislate in relation to issues such asGHGs so long as it stays within the four corners of itsprescribed subject matters and the provinces can do the same so long as they stay within their prescribed areas of authority.”

The Court of Appeal majority ruling went on todiscount Saskatchewan’s argument that Ottawacan’t enact statutes in one province and not another or that it is overreaching by using the Constitution’sPeace, Order and Good Government (POGG) tenet ofour Constitution to justify the tax or that the carbon tax is a “tax” and not a price on pollution.

“Parliament does have authority over a narrowerPOGG subject matter — the establishment of mini-mum national standards of price stringency for GHG emissions,” the majority opinion stated.

With all this, it’s also likely overly optimistic forMoe to think that there will a different outcomewhen the Supreme Court hears the same argument.And those arguments before the Supreme Court maynot be heard for years, anyway.

That leaves a change in government as the mostrealistic way to end the carbon tax. While this seems a distinct possibility, what happens if it doesn’t? Doall our issues go away?

Not really.For starters, SaskPower has already made signif-

icant commitments to reducing GHG by 40 per centby 2030 — a move that means shuttering coal-firedelectrical power generation at Boundary Dams 4 and5. And while SaskPower is not meeting those GHG reduction targets now, make no mistake things are changing with or without Trudeau’s carbon tax.

So even if we do see an end to the carbon tax, wemay not see an end to this battle.

SubmittedTo mark its 68th annual Mental Health Week, the

Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) calls for a national mental health promotion strategy to help shore up Canadians’ mental health in the face of rising rates of mental illness worldwide.

The call is one of six recommendations outlined in a new national CMHA policy paper, Cohesive, Collaborative, Collective: Advancing Mental Health Promotion in Canada.

“Most efforts to support mental health in Canada focus on treating addiction or illness, or managing symptoms, and not on fostering mental health — and even those treatment services are not adequate to address the growing need,” says Dr. Patrick Smith, national CEO, CMHA. “All signs point to not being able to treat our way out of this crisis. We have to get ahead of it.”

Mental health promotion efforts, such as sui-cide-prevention programs and community-based skills training on managing anger, reducing stress and addressing risky behaviours, are proven to im-prove population mental health and reduce public- and private-sector expenditure on mental health care and treatment. To date, Canada’s patchwork efforts to promote mental health in key settings such as schools, workplaces and communities have been too underfunded or uncoordinated to yield large-scale or long-term impact.

“We all understand we have to brush our teeth to

our society still doesn’t get that it’s the same with mental health,” says Dr. Smith. “Waiting

is way too late to start teaching kids not to play with matches.”

Given 70 per cent of mental health problems begin in childhood and adolescence, and that mental health promotion efforts are most effective when they begin early in life, schools are an ideal setting in which to pro-mote good mental health in Canadians. School-based approaches, such as social and emotional learning (SEL) pro-grams, can help stu-dents develop empathy, tenacity and self-esteem, as well as impulse con-trol and self-regula-tion, manage anger and stress, identify emotions and get along with oth-ers.

In the workforce, which captures 60 per cent of those aged 16 or older, there is strong evidence that work-place-based mental health promotion pro-grams are effective at re-ducing absenteeism and presenteeism, improving productivity and reduc-ing health care costs.

“When we understand what mental health re-ally is, we start to get that its something we all have. The mental health care system of the future is not just in clinics or hospitals — it’s in work-places and schools, serv-ing entire populations and not just individ-ual patients,” says Dr. Smith.

To be effective, the national mental health promotion strategy must be properly coordinated, well-funded, sustained and monitored. To be successful, the strategy must: address the men-tal health implications

of federal policies and programs across all depart-ments and ministries; include an increase in the share of health budget spent on mental health to nine per cent from 7.2 per cent; replicate and scale up programs that address social inequalities and dis-parities that cause poor mental health and invest in social marketing campaigns.

The policy paper recommends the strategy be ac-companied by an increase in social spending by two per cent to promote social inclusion, freedom from vi-olence and discrimination and access to economic op-portunity, with a special focus on older adults facing loneliness, youth facing stressors of the social media age and the un- and underemployed in today’s gig economy.

An increased focus on mental health promotion and prevention efforts will better serve all people in Canada, including those who currently have men-tal illness, because it will alleviate pressure on the acute-care system. Part of the reason we have long wait times and barriers to access is that, for exam-ple, those with mild-to-moderate anxiety or depres-sion are waiting to see a psychiatrist to get help,

when they could be best served by other community health-care professionals.

“We can see where the need is about to grow — in our aging population, in the youth growing up in a digital and disconnected world, and in those with precarious work. We have evidence that mental health promotion can address these growing needs, but we can’t just invest in hospital beds. anti-bully-ing programs in schools. The mental health system of the future needs both,” Dr. Smith said.

By Devan C. Tasa, Humboldt Journal

MUENSTER — The most valuable player at the Kelly Bates Football Camp had a tremendous attitude, made an effort to get better with every play and was extremely coachable.

Emily Yanish is a Grade 8 student from Melville. She, along with Tisdale’s Tilka Chapman and Nipawin’s Tegan

three girls to attend the camp in its 13-year his-tory.

“Wow. I never ex-pected to be MVP ever,” Yanish told the Hum-boldt Journal a few min-utes after receiving the award.

The MVP is a special award at the camp, one that’s not just based on raw skill.

“It’s based on sports-manship, leadership and it’s about lifting people up,” said Kelly Bates, the camp’s head coach and namesake. “It’s not about being the best player; it’s about being the best part of the community.”

It’s also about honour-ing three Carrot River football players, Carter Stevenson, Kristian Ska-licky and Justin Gaja, who went to the camp and died in a crash on the way home.

Bates told Yanish during the award cere-mony to understand what she brings to the table.

“When you start to make a foray into a world that hasn’t necessarily

included you up to this point,” he told the Jour-nal later, “you’ve got to have the best attitude in the world, you’ve got to work harder than the person next to you be-cause you’re only going to get ahead doing that.”

Bates was pleased to see Yanish, Chapman and Livingston at the camp.

“They made me very proud as a father to six- and nine-year-old little girls, to see you three here doing what you did,” he told them during the awards ceremony.

He said it was a great experience for the coaches having them on

they were suited up and

stick out as they had the same kind of skill level and coachability as ev-eryone else.

The football camp, held at St. Peter’s College from May 4 and 5, focuses more on developing foot-ball skills in rural Sas-katchewan than scouting for teams, and had around 100 players at-tend. Many of the coaches had CFL connections, such as Chris Getzlaf, Chris Streveler, Neal Hughes, Scott McHenry, Evan Johnson and Adam Bighill. Local coaches were Tom Schwinghamer and Shaun Gardiner.

Bates, who was born in Humboldt, is a for-mer football guard who played for the BC Lions, Edmonton Eskimos and Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He is now an offensive quality control coach for the Eskimos.

He said the annual camp brings him im-mense joy.

“The ability to attempt to make a difference in a community, that means a lot to me, both in the community of Humboldt and the community of football in general,” he said. “I certainly hope I get to continue to do it for a while.

Yanish said she de-cided to come to gain more experience with football and learn from different coaches. She told the Journal that’s exactly what she got from the camp. “This has been awesome. I’ve learned so much.”

She said she’d recom-mend the camp to others.

“You got to go out and try it. Even if it’s just for a year, just try it.”

Sometimes, l i fe stinks.

Bad things happen to great people, but truly horrible things happen to you — things like losing a loved one, and that’s indescribable. Your emotions feel like shuffled cards: you’re foggy, sad, angry, ex-hausted, and tired of dealing with it all. So what do you do next? You take a deep breath and read The Hot Young Widows Club by Nora McInerny.

Nora McInerny knows grief. She shouldn’t have to, but she does because her husband died some time ago at age 35, just before her father died, just before she miscar-ried what would have been her second child. And if that sounds like a lot, it is, but she says not to compare her sit-uation to yours. Loss is not a competition be-cause “who could possi-bly win?”

loss, welcome to a club you “had no intention of joining.” What you may not realize yet is that you’re in good company, although dealing with your loss is uniquely yours and there are no rules or “right” ways to grieve, no expiration date, and there are no shoulds.

Although, maybe you -

ing someone who’s been through this walk of widowhood, too, so you can scream into pillows together. McInerny rec-ommends a “support group” of one or a dozen

own timeframe and do it in your own way. Oh, and “stop saying yes to the (things) you don’t want to do.”

Remember that “you are not a machine, and grief is not a program you can run.” If you’ve been through loss before, know that every loss is different. Understand that people can be awk-ward, they can be dumb,

and that not every friendship will last be-yond your grief. Accept help by naming a “Grief Manager” to co-ordinate everyone who wants to help do the “stuff you need done.” Embrace these words: “Why do you ask?” when faced with nosiness. And fi-nally, remember that “Time can change you, and it will. But it can’t change (the departed), and it won’t.”

When you head to the store to buy your copy of The Hot Young Widow’s Club, be sure to pick up a package of sticky

them up on every page of this helpful, hopeful book.

Truly, this is unlike any coping with loss book you’ve ever seen;

first, because author Nora McInerny ignores euphemisms. There’s no candy-coating death and no hiding what hap-pened, so she uses the “D” word with honesty and gusto. She also uses humour, too, although it’s not the ROFL kind. Instead, it’s humour of the sort that survivors use at the end of a crisis. And that, as she shows readers, is what you’ll be: a survivor, even though you’ll still cry sometimes.

This is not a book for raw widows or widow-ers, but they’ll want it eventually; it’s a little irreverent, but it’s just what they’ll need, in time. Indeed, life some-times stinks — but The Hot Young Widows Club absolutely does not.

Too hard and cynical to believe and trust

Hot Young Widows Club is unlike any coping book

There is no doubt that Ed, my old friend in Saskatchewan, is a cynic in temperament. My old neighbour called a few weeks back and was skeptical of my plans to attend Maundy Thursday and Good Fri-day church services, as well as Easter Sunday morning. Since he tends to see any church atten-dance as pointless, extra services in one week had him questioning my mo-tivation for attending them.

Since Jesus lived and died more than 2,000 years ago, Ed is sure that the church’s Holy Week is rooted in antiq-uity that is irrelevant to sane people today. He is a naysayer about Jesus as both man and God. He believes Jesus was a man but not the Son of God. My old neighbour is like Thomas, unwilling to accept Jesus is God and is risen from the dead. He must be able to touch the nail holes in his hands and see Jesus

his own eyes. Until this happens, Ed is unwilling to have faith in Jesus and worship Him.

Ed isn’t one to live and let live. Ed dis-misses millions of believ-ers in Jesus as the Son of God, both past and present, as motivated by misguided self-interest. Ed believes that they want to avoid hell after

death; so, they go to wor-ship at church now as it is like paying an insur-ance policy for the fu-ture. He is distrusting of the motives and actions of other people and God. Easy does it, is not part of Ed’s mindset.

Ed and I have often talked of his tendency to see the worst in most people and situations. Through the years he has gathered comments that he likes to offer; such as marriage is nei-ther heaven, nor hell, but lifelong purgatory. On any given day Ed will tell you that; death is never the end it is always followed by liti-gation, and to be free of prejudice hate everyone. Ed does not feel that he knows everything, but he knows more than enough to tell you’re wrong, and he is right.

Ed could not believe I would say that he was a cynic about seeing Holy Week services as pointless. According to him, he is God’s loyal opposition and equal in wisdom and insight to God’s Word in the Bible. I have told Ed that he might need to go easy

when it comes to God as some of God’s greatest opponents have become His most loyal servants. God works conversion in many cynical hearts. I have told Ed he is bet-ting on himself, but I am betting on God for His love reaches the unbe-lieving to change or turn them from unbelief to belief.

Faith in Jesus is born in the heart of opposi-tion, doubt, and cyni-cism. The people could not deny that Jesus of Nazareth was credited with doing miracles of God among them. Even after they put him to death nailing Him to the cross. God raised Jesus from the dead. Witnesses not only tes-

-tion but His ascension to heaven. They were will-ing to die rather than deny their witness of Jesus as both Lord and Christ.

God gathers those who are saved by faith in Jesus from loyal un-believers like Ed.

Endless replays, testosterone have got Darcy’s goatYou know what really

grinds my gears?In this age of political

correctness and social justice warriors, there are a multitude of items that rub me the wrong way. To keep this rant under 20 pages, we’ll have to deal with a cou-ple of issues related directly to sports.

I have a bone to pick with any sport that leans on instant replay to get the calls right.

-ing the calls, it has turned most simple plays into

than likely at some far away remote location, huddle together to watch and re-watch something and still come up with the wrong call.

In hockey, the worst is goaltender interference. How many times have you been watching a game when there’s a goal and it’s reviewed? If you’re any kind of hockey fan, it’s happened weekly, at least, and if you’re more of a casual observer it could be once within a month.

I’ve seen it time and again, where they’ll show a player get driven toward the net until he makes con-tact with the netminder and a few seconds later, the pucks ended up across the red line and there’s been a goal. Immediately — one would hope anyway — the

he’ll have some video and he’ll have to make his or her interpretation of whether we have a good goal or not.

If you needed to top up your cup of tea, or grab a little extra ice for your bevvy, you know you’ve got the time, because these things never end as quickly as they should.

After watching a replay 10-plus times, word comes to the referee what the call should be and he skates out and announces whether it’s a good goal or if there’s goalie interference.

I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t matter what you’ve seen and how experienced you are in hockey, the call can still go either way — and many times it’s an absolute travesty. In other words, you can take what you know about hockey and toss it out with the trash, because at the end of the day, you have no idea what constitutes and good goal or a bad one.

Seriously, I watch a fair amount of hockey and whenever I think it’s all cut and dried, it turns out the exact opposite. In my humble opinion, the solu-tion is to give the job to someone who knows the game and is used to making snap decisions, whether it’s a former referee, coach or player. Whoever is stuck in the booth has set-in-stone rules to follow and a time limit of two minutes to make the call and get it right.

are enough for me to form a decision, so why can’t it happen this quickly in the NHL? It seems that

pull that off, he simply makes something up.-

nite amount of replays to watch. To me it puts the human element back into the game and at the same time, it leaves experts using their hockey smarts to come to a conclusion before everyone changes the channel.

I wish this was the only thing grinding my gears this week, but the list is a bit longer.

What about the case of South African athlete Caster Semenya, who has been told she needs to take drugs to lower the testosterone in her body, so she can compete with other female athletes. After all the cheaters in sports who have used many types of per-formance enhancers, Semenya’s testosterone level, while high for a woman, is naturally occurring.

It’s this scribe’s belief that she has every right to win every race and break every record there is, be-cause this is all natural. She isn’t cheating anyone. She’s simply being who she is and she’s being chas-tised for it and that’s not right.

For goodness sake, Secretariat had a heart that weighed 22 pounds while the average horse’s heart weighed in at about eight pounds. I’m sure other peo-ple in horse racing complained about it quietly, but

this also was naturally occurring.In most cases, there’s something other than work

ethic that will lead some athletes to victory, some-thing that only they have, something unique to their physical makeup that gives them an edge.

competitors.People have always tried to alter who they were to

get ahead of the pack, but this athlete wants nothing more than to be herself.

Let her be.
