A special night of baseball and a heartwarming tribute to a dedicated sportsman took place at Cairns field on Friday night, July 12 just prior to the opening pitch between the Saskatoon Cubs and the East Central AAA 18U Red Sox.

If you are old enough, I’m sure you will remember the news that rocked the hockey world on August 9, 1988. Peter Pocklington had traded Wayne Gretzky to the LA Kings for Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas, 15 million cash and first round draft picks in 1989, 1991 and 1993. I was, of course, and still am an Edmonton Oiler fan and felt the same disappointment and betrayal that most oiler fans experienced.

It probably was the biggest sports deal of the time but most certainly was for hockey!

Tick season has been bad this year in Saskatchewan. Normally around July we see populations decline with the heat, but this year due to the cooler June and ample moisture it appears ticks will continue to be an issue through the summer.  While for the majority of tick bites in Saskatchewan will be nothing to worry about they do carry a risk of infection and tick born illness such as Lyme Disease. Saskatchewan only has a small population of the black legged deer tick that is known to carry Lyme disease.
