A campaign is underway to raise $500,000 to build a permanent STARS air ambulance helicopter landing pad at All Nations’ Healing Hospital in Fort Qu’Ap- pelle. Initial efforts to recognize the contributions of for- mer Fort Qu’Appelle town councillor Kon Rippert, who died in January, have already brought in about $25,000 towards the cost of the project. On average, two patients a month are airlifted from the hospital to other centres. The hospital is also a patient transfer point for the entire southeast region of the province. In addition to the 21 patients carried from the Fort last year there were also four emergency calls that required the services of the air ambulance. “For the past 12 years we’ve had a temporary land-

Motorists heading to Katepwa will experience traffic delays for the next couple of months as work crews have begun re-paving Highway 56. The $6-million project involves resurfacing 21 ki- lometres between Fort Qu’Appelle and the east end of Lake Katepwa. The project also includes some paving work within Katepwa Point Provincial Park. The contractor expects construction will be finished by the end of July, weather permitting. During construction, drivers can expect interrup- tions. One lane will be open most of the time, with some exceptions, to allow continuous flow of traffic. Motorists are reminded to slow down to 60 km/h in work zones and obey all signs and flaggers. Fines for speeding are tripled in cases where workers are present. This project is funded by a $300 million highway stimulus package announced last year by

95-year old golfer still loves the game

By Sarah Pacio Grasslands News

“Our beautiful little golf course in Neudorf is nes- tled in the woods,” club member Rebecca Maurer told Grasslands News. “I was on the course yesterday and it was just incredible, it’s so beautiful there. I can’t rave about it enough!” The nine-hole course is located at the south end of Main Street, near the school and nature trails. It features sand greens with primarily par-3 and par-4 holes, and golfers are asked to rake the greens after they putt. A loading dock is provided for golf carts. “It used to be a cattle pasture; in 1960-1961 volun- teers started to clear some of the bush in the former community cattle pasture for the intention of a golf course,” Maurer explained. “There’s the natural woods all the way through and it’s very scenic.” The course provided an excellent place for one man from Lemberg to begin developing a love for the sport. Duncan Acton is now 95-years-old, but fondly recalls his early experiences at the course in Neu- dorf. “When I was around 20-years-old we used to go An ageless sport 68%0,77('_*5$66/$1'61(:6 out on a Sunday once in a while, I was always inter- ested in sports so I enjoyed golfing,” Acton said. “I Duncan Acton, a 95-year-old golfer from Lemberg, developed a life-long love for the sport when he was a member for probably 10 years before I started started playing at Neudorf Golf Course. going to the grass greens.
