"Skatchin."  Makes sense to contract it like that if you're pronouncing it often (as the locals do).

The key is to draw out the s at the start a bit ... kind of like ssskatch'n. You master that and they'll believe you if you tell 'em you're from Weyburn
It is funny how you notice your home's name when it gets pronounced differently... whenever I'm at a concert and the singer says "Hello winny peg!" it catches my ear.
