Thanks to television show, The Dimestore Fishermen the fishing holes of Jim Percy and Stu Moskaluke may no longer be a secret.

The fishing prowess of two of Davidson’s most determined, perhaps even intrepid anglers, was on display last weekend with the premiere of the episode filmed at Lake Diefenbaker.

The crew behind The Dimestore Fishermen was in Davidson last fishing season, first from May 26 to 28 and then from July 21 to 25 to make an episode that featured fishing hot spots in the Davidson area.

To help them get the footage, Percy and Moskaluke took the TV crew to Lake Diefenbaker and had them fishing from their boats.

It will be interesting to see what they used to make the television episode due to the fact that when The Dimestore Fishermen were in the area, fishing conditions on Diefenbaker were less than ideal.

In fact, says Percy, “I’ve been fishing Diefenbaker for 22 years and we probably had the worst conditions we could have had in all those years.”

He said the water levels on the lake were high, and the water was very turbid. Then, the days that the crew was filming were windy and cool.

“We were very limited to where we could fish because of the weather,” Percy said.

Still, they caught some fish including walleye and perch.

Percy said they did some fly fishing and landed a goldeye on his line.

DAVIDSON—Police hope the public may shed light on a recent crime in Davidson.

Craik RCMP report that sometime between late Saturday, May 12 and early Sunday, May 13 solar illuminated ornaments and lights were stolen from residences on the 400 block of Toronto Street.

Police ask anyone with information on this or other crimes to contact Craik RCMP at 734-5200 or Saskatchewan Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477).

DAVIDSON—Davidson continues to have representation on the board of Heartland Regional Health Authority.

Local pharmacist Dave Nykiforuk was appointed to the board, one of 33 new appointees to Saskatchewan’s 12 regional health authorities.

Health Minister Don McMorris announced the board appointments last Tuesday.

Of the 116 board members of the various health regions, 83 are being reappointed.

Nykiforuk replaces outgoing board member Gary Allan. Also stepping down from Heartland’s board was long-time member Lyle Leys.

The appointments are for three-year terms, with the possibility of reappointment. There are no term limits.

Nykiforuk said he attended his first board meeting last Wednesday.

“I’ve got a lot to digest and I know from serving on other boards you can never please everybody,” he said during an interview last Wednesday while he flipped burgers for the Davidson SCC community potluck.

He’s been interested in serving on the health region board for some time because it is important that the community has its voice represented.

But he understands that at times it will be a difficult job when the board has to manage limited health care funds.

OUTLOOK—A Good Samaritan asked one too many questions while helping a stranger change a flat tire.

A 66-year-old man was stabbed last Wednesday, receiving non-life threatening wounds, said RCMP Corp. Rob King.

The man, it is alleged, was helping a 22-year-old man with the flat tire when the 22 year old attacked him with a knife.

Another man at the scene helped stop the knife attack by pulling the accused off the victim, King said. The suspect then stole the truck of the man who helped and fled from the scene.

Outlook RCMP was called and while searching for the stolen truck, they found the truck in a ditch and set up a large perimeter and called for a police dog from North Battleford. The suspect was located and arrested.

Thursday, Ryan Dalton Kelly Bear made his first court appearance in Saskatoon. He is charged with attempted murder.

The whole incident occurred around mid-morning on a road about 5 kilometres north of Outlook.

King said the suspect had a flat tire and went to a nearby residence seeking help. The resident gave the suspect a ride back to his vehicle to help change the tire. Then the 66-year-old man arrived on scene and started asking questions, suspicious of the stranger.

While the man was asking questions, the 22-year-old man is alleged to have attacked the 66 year old.
