Annual fun at Alameda Fishing Derby coming this June By Kelly Running And they’re off! No, it’s not a high speed Nascar race, it’s the annual fishing derby in Alameda, Sk. Each year the community hosts a fishing derby, which brings in approximately 400 people of all ages. Breakfast is served early in the morning, as fishermen launch their boats, and by 8 a.m. they are waiting patiently for the flare to be set off letting them speed towards their perfect fishing hole in an effort to catch the big one. Through wind, rain, or sun the event is enjoyed by many anglers from across the province, with visitors coming up from the United States and across Canada as well in the past. This year the big event will be held on Saturday, June 27. The Annual Alameda Fish Derby is hosted by the Alameda Recreation Facility Board at Moose Creek Regional Park. Here fishing enthusiasts compete, attempting to reel in the largest Northern Pike of the day.

Flood Documentary to Premiere at Avalon April 22 Submitted April 7, 2015 A new documentary film showing residents’ battle against the record-breaking 2011 flood and the destruction of the famous Swinging Bridge will premiere this month at the Souris Avalon Theatre. “The Bridge is a compelling glimpse into a town rallying against a natural disaster of historic proportions,” says producer/director and former Souris resident Glen Kirby, “told through the stories, photos and video of the people on the front lines. It’s a universal story of tragedy and triumph.” Over three months in 2011, the Souris River reached levels which flood forecasters in Canada and the US estimate will only occur once every 200 to 500 years. Residents worked round-the-clock to build dikes and sandbag vulnerable properties, assisted by volunteers from across Manitoba and the Canadian Armed Forces. “That flood helped us to understand that, as we go forward as a community, we need one another,” says Sandra Denbow, a Souris Town Councilor and Chamber of Commerce President interviewed in The Bridge. The hour-long film features a number of people re-telling their flood experiences, including Bill Kirkup, Blair Bastion, Paulette Pauchilo, and Don and Joyce Kowlachuk. “You kinda get caught up in the flood,” recalls Kirkup, who was evacuated with wife Sheila from the river-side home that they’ve occupied since the early 1960s. “It’s like a treadmill. You’re on it and you don’t know how to get off.” As part of a State of Emergency declared during the flooding, more than 90 properties were evacuated in the Town of Souris and the Rural Municipality of Glenwood, and 190 residents displaced. Some were not allowed back into their homes for three months, while crews built sandbag dikes and then giant earthen berms to protect vulnerable homes and business. “The sheer numbers would scare you,” says SourisGlenwood Mayor Darryl Jackson, one of the key persons who navigated the community through the flooding that continued from April to July. “800,000 of the 50-pound sandbags, and just under two thousand of the super sandbags.” He adds, “It was enormous, but to everyone’s credit, we beat the crest.”
Kirby, a native of Souris and award-winning television producer, wanted to document the 2011 flood story because of his involvement in the town’s previous worst flood on-record in 1976. “I will never forget how we joined together, people from all different ages and backgrounds, side-by-side in the mud, filling sandbags. Those feelings and experiences are represented in The Bridge.” A premiere screening is planned at the Avalon Theatre in Souris at 7:00 pm on April 22. Admission will be free with a silver collection for the volunteer-
run Theatre. Debbie Butler, chairperson for the Avalon Theatre Committee, is inviting people to stay for coffee following the movie. “This screening is another example of the new ways in which the Avalon is being used,” says Butler. “Last month, we hosted a theatre production from Winnipeg brought in by the Souris Arts Council. We’re taking bookings for birthday parties. There’s plenty going on at

Travelling into the past when visiting Cannington Manor By Kelly Running In 1882, Captain Edward Michell Pierce, established an aristocratic English settlement northeast of Carlyle, SK. In an effort to educate bachelor sons of wealthy families, Pierce created an agricultural college attracting remittance men as students. It was to help them as they claimed their own homesteads heading west. With its strong English upper class values evident both cultural life and recreational life mirrored that of the upper class in England. They participated in thoroughbred racing, the theatre, fox hunting, tennis, cricket, and more were enjoyed by both the students and the settlers living together at Cannington Manor. This was in stark contrast to every neighbouring community, which was filled with people working nearly all day, every day and were just able to get by. There was no room for recreation for many during settlement, which set Cannington Manor apart. The success of the town was limited, however, as Captain Pierce died in June of 1888, while other influential men moved away. It was in 1901-1902, however, that led to the dissolution of the village when the Canadian Pacific Railway regional branch line was constructed 10 km south of the village. This distance was too much at the time hindering the community’s growth, which was further affected by drought and low grain prices. Today some of this settlement has been saved and the legacy of a society built on Victorian values remains as Cannington Manor Provincial Park recreates
this period of history for those interested in seeing what life was like for the high class English settlement which thrived in southeast Saskatchewan for a brief period of time. Buildings have been restored including five furnished buildings including a bachelor’s home and the school. Still standing is the All Saints Anglican Church, which continues to be used on Sunday’s during the summer. There are a variety of interactive activities available while here with knowledgeable park interpret-

Oak Island Resort Celebrates 10 Years by Dolores Caldwell Whether you have enjoyed lounging on the beach, swimming, boating or sitting around the campfire, almost everyone has made lasting memories of being at the lake. The ownership group purchased Oak Lake Island Resort from Bill Henderson April 21, 2005, making this the 10th Anniversary of Oak Island Resort. Right from the beginning, the group saw potential in the 900 acre resort and it has been a fast ride ever since. They began with revamping the campground. Randy Boulton, general manager has worked at Oak Island since 2009. “Every lot is now fully serviced and we have just finished the addition of 60 new lots, making the total camping experience complete with 340 seasonal lots andÊ60 nightly lots available,” said Boulton. Over the past 10 years, campers and cabin owners alike have enjoyed the 18 hole championship golf course constructed to USGA Standards in 2008. The course was designed by world renowned
designer Les Furber. He has designed courses from Latvia to Cuba and all across North America. The project began in 2006 and was ready for the first tee off May long weekend of 2008. The course comes complete with 75 electric carts to minimize ecological concerns as well as offering a relaxing ride around the scenic cart paths. In 2014, Dan Halldorson joined as director of golf. Dan’s a former PGA tour winner. Riel’s is a beautiful licensed clubhouse and restaurant that was established the same time as the golf course. The restaurant has been downsized to accommodate the clubhouse, but still comfortably seats 200 people providing a casual dining experience. Walking from the campground to the golf course is a luxury for any campground. The Pro-Shop (in Riel’s) has a full clothing line, clubs, balls tees and accessories. Clubs are also available for rent.
The Marina has been revamped with gas, fishing licenses and fishing supplies sold on site. For convenience, boaters are able to fill up on the water. The Creemee and The Store are busy catering to every possible need or want of the campers, serving soft ice-cream treats to full course meals. In 2009, the ownership group decided to add a water park to the campground with San Juan pools. Premium Pools of Brandon constructed two pools, the “Mirage” and “Taj Mahal” and a wet deck for the enjoyment of young and old. Wanda Grant, campground manager, looks after the campground, marina, store and creemee. Seasonal campers are invited May 1st and nightly campers May 15th to October 1st. “This will be my 8th season on the Island and my 6th season in the campground and there is no where else I would
rather be,” said Grant. “I have my hands full with the campground, marina, store and creemee, but I love every minute of it. Having very little family of my own here in Manitoba, lots of the campers are like my extended family and I get really excited to see them all again every spring. I’m surrounded by great people, from everyone that works here to everyone that stays here and plays here. It doesn’t get much better than this.” Oak Island employs four full time, and 60 seasonal staff members. The cabins themselves have seen the most significant change, with approximately 40 new homes being built over the past 10 years, Some in the price range of over a million dollars. The most famous, perhaps, being that of hockey legend, Bobby Hull. Bobby Hull is an avid fisherman and decided to

RVs come in all sizes! RVing is a big thing in North America. No wonder. You only have to look at the size of the continent, the multitude of roads that cross the land, and the different climates and landscapes to understand why North Americans love this mode of travel. You can always travel by plane, train, or automobile, but traveling in a RV is a big part of a great adventure. The real question is what type of RV will fulfill your requirements. Obviously, beginners are wise to rent a smaller RV to see if they really enjoy this method of travel. Chances are they will. By then, they will probably want to buy their own RV. This is where the budget enters the picture. Other than trailers, the best way to travel is with an integrated RV, that is a truck with the body of a house. They are offered in three different categories: Class A, Class B, and Class C. Curiously, the smallest one is the Class B truck. A Class B RV is a production-based van that is transformed into a camping van. Base vehicles are usually Ford E-Series, Chevrolet Express/GMC Vandura, or Dodge Sprinter. The latter is powered by a small diesel engine, but this base vehicle is the most expensive of the group. V8 and V10 gas engines power the others. Class B RVs are narrow and easy to drive. Class C motorhomes are a little bigger. They are based on Ford and GM commercial trucks. However, more recently, a few conversion companies have been using bigger Freightliner straight-body heavy trucks to produce larger motorhomes. Class A motorhomes are usually very large vehicles with forward controls, based on a commercial chassis or even an intercity bus! They can be very expensive vehicles, but the people who own them tend to use them as their main residence. It’s
Travel by RV for a real adventure.

Hillcrest Museum offers new look for new season by Glen Kirby Attendance was up last year at the Hillcrest Museum in Souris and board members are hoping to continue the momentum with new initiatives in 2015, including revamped displays and a ‘superpass’ with the town’s other museums. “We’re looking at a $10 ticket that will get you into the Hillcrest, the Plum Heritage Church and the Railway Museum,” says Hillcrest board member, Linda Perrin. “The tickets have already been printed. We just need the respective boards to approve it.” Perrin says the ‘superpass’ was the brainchild of Hillcrest Museum president Vern May, himself a point of discussion at the Museum’s annual general meeting on March 25. In the last month, May began working in Minnedosa and at least one board member wrestled with his continued association with the Hillcrest. “It was suggested that we need a president in this town,” says board member Harvey Veldhouse. “Vern said he would hand it over, if a new president can be found. Won’t be easy to find a new president,” he adds. “We can’t find people to sit on the board.” Perrin says the board is also actively recruiting a new treasurer because Debra Good stepped aside late last year to deal with health issues. “Deb was an ace to have on-board,” says Perrin. “She knows her stuff. I’m not sure who’s going to step up and fill that role.” Executive members are traditionally elected at the AGM but Perrin says that has been put over until the board’s April 15 meeting. “It’s challenging to find volunteers,” she says. “Our generation is winding down and it’s harder to find new blood.” Hillcrest Museum occupies the former home of Fred Sowden, son of Souris pioneer and builder of the original Swinging Bridge, William Henry “Squire” Sowden. Built in 1910, the home became a community museum in 1967. More than 2,000 people paid to tour the Hillcrest in 2014, a sizable increase over 2013. Board members believe the main reason is the Swinging Bridge, destroyed during the summer flood in 2011 and reopened for use in
The 115-year-old Hillcrest perched on the edge of the Souris River. The museum board hopes to see a repeat of last year’s success. Photo/Glen Kirby late June, 2013. Perrin points out that only 200 people visited the Museum in 2013 while the Bridge was being rebuilt. “After it opened, we had 700,” she says. “The flood set us back severely,” adds Veldhouse. “Without the Bridge, people weren’t coming to Souris at all. It’s one of our lifelines for tourism.” This season, Hillcrest Museum visitors will notice changes, including updated displays. “In February, we went in and moved displays and artifacts around,” says Veldhouse. “We asked ourselves,
why are people coming to the Museum? What do they want to look at? Then, we de-cluttered.” Railway-themed memorabilia has been relocated to the nearby Railway Museum, which celebrates the legacy of the railroad in Souris and the families connected to that industry. Veldhouse says a collection of salt and pepper shakers has been removed from display. So have duplicate items of period costume, and a collection of old school textbooks.

The Canadian Red Cross honours its volunteers during National Volunteer Week (Regina, April 12-18, 2015) - This week, the Canadian Red Cross honours its volunteers during National Volunteer Week, April 12-18. Throughout the year, volunteers from across the country, generously donate their time to improving the lives of the most vulnerable individuals and communities. “Volunteers are an integral part of our team and we are sincerely thankful for all of our Saskatchewan volunteers,” says Cindy Fuchs, Provincial Director for the Red Cross in Saskatchewan. “They are the reason we are able to make such a significant impact on those in need.” With over two million Canadians
benefitting from Canadian Red Cross programs and services each year, the value that volunteers bring to the organization is incomparable.

Roaming the world’s grass lands By Anne Davison Clayton Robins is looking for sweet grasses and he is getting the message out – improved grazing and optimized beef yields can reduce feedlot time and build soil quality. A farmer in the Rivers area, Robins graduated University of Manitoba in 1989 with a BSc in Agriculture and spent over 20 years with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Research Branch in Brandon. He studied beef and forage production. His research has focused on extending the grazing season, forage-based finishing, greenhouse gas mitigation, cultivar development (grasses and legumes), and energetic efficiencies. Robins puts boots to his research on his own farm
near Rivers where he operates a mixed family farm, focusing on beef production - cow/calf, back-grounding, and custom grazing. Until recently, sheep production was also included. Robins spoke at the Upper Assiniboine River Conservation District (UARCD) banquet in Kenton, a couple of weeks ago. Just a day later he addressed the Lenore Grazing Club. At the banquet Robins introduced himself as “one of 1300 living Nuffield Scholars.” This scholarship took the researcher 142,000 kms around the world with stays in 107 towns and cities. He met with 200 experts, scientists, government extension people and farm producers. Robins is currently serving on the Executive of the
Canadian Society of Animal Science. He discovered a treasure trove of agricultural know-how and research. He has produced an 85-page report, to be released this summer. The Nuffield Scholarship is a quest for expertise in order to build world class leadership in agriculture. “It’s really a leader development program very much like 4-H...one of the most profound experiences of my life,” says Robins, who is also Executive Director of the Manitoba 4-H Council.
and a tea room during the summer season. The Hillcrest board is continuing talks with counterparts at the Railway Museum and the Plum on amalgamating but the idea, brought forth by May, appears on the ropes since his departure. “We’ve had a few meetings and some good thoughts,” says Perrin. “I’m hoping we can make it happen this year.” Tangible signs of collaboration include the proposed
‘superpass,’ and a new brochure featuring all three museum attractions. The Hillcrest aims to begin each season on the annual Victoria Day long weekend, provided enough volunteers can be found to operate the museum on weekends until paid staff are hired for July and August. Perrin expects word this month from the provincial government on grant applications to fund those summer student employees.

Perrin says new board member Dawn Bowie, who has expertise in theatre productions and costuming, is taking a lead on the display and preservation of the Museum’s vintage clothing. Discussions are ongoing to relocate spiritual and religious articles to the neighbouring Plum Heritage Church, the town’s oldest surviving public building constructed in 1883, which features displays

Grass lands from page 12 The sojourner took his audience on a PowerPoint presentation to grassy places in 11 countries, with a bit of history thrown in, at places like the pub where C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and others who influenced 20th Century literature, shared a pint. He said of this tour, “It really reaffirmed my faith in humanity...all the folks I met, from cab drivers in Argentina who didn’t understand a word I said, to some of the high-level scientists in the world, I was treated like gold.� Involved in a premier breeding program for high sugar grasses, Robins says “It’s an idea that has been abandoned in the past in Canada, because [these grasses] don’t winter-over on the prairie and farmers couldn’t get multiple years out of them.� But his travel itinerary, including state of the art research labs where genetic material of plants and microbes are mapped, to the farms of the world’s premier cattle producers, has convinced him there is hay to be made with high sugar grasses. “Based on the model I’ve developed...we can do a lot with these the year that we grow them and make some really key improvements to our beef production using forages, if we use them at key times in the beef production cycle.� The Canadian standard, to date, has produced grasses registering from eight percent sugar into the teens. On the tour the Rivers farmer saw grasses up as high as 40 - 50 percent sugar - three times as much sugar as In Wales, UK Sheep Farmer of the Year for 2013, and Nuffield Scholar Keith Williams stands outside sugar cane. his home, built in 1650.

Grass lands from page 13 their plant breeding plots. In a high-tech laboratory he saw evidence of methane emissions reduced by 20 percent and the nitrous oxide by 30 percent. “If the animal is producing methane, you fed it something and it isn’t getting the good out of it. It is not efficiently using the feed.” He saw cattle grazing kale. Seven acres carried 33 pairs of Belted Galloway/Shorthorns plus the bull, where the hearty calves “looked like tanks.” Canada needs to make changes in agricultural practices. Robins doesn’t like the term ‘sustainable agriculture’. He is aiming for restorative farm practices. “When you have degraded soils like we have, we’ve got to change things up and actually improve soil.” For the Lenore Grazing Club, he detailed the model he is using. Robins is a fan of festulolium (fescue and rye grass genetics), a forage he uses on his Rivers farm. “It’s a cocktail cover crop, harvesting the cereal crop, letting the cocktail re-grow and strip grazing that.” For feeding in the winter, he rolls his haylage into small round bales to spread the return of nutrients (manure and urine where the cattle feed on the bales) more evenly. Robins sees improved digestibility and efficiency with the mix of about five species of forage. He says, “Theoretically we should be able to initiate marbling on these calves.”

The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to join the Canadian Wildlife Federation and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation to recognize April 5 to 11 as National Wildlife Week. “Saskatchewan’s diverse wildlife is one of our most valuable natural resources and provides a variety of recreational, educational, and economic opportunities for Saskatchewan residents,” Environment Minister Scott Moe said. “Our government is committed to protecting Saskatchewan wildlife and their habitats for future generations. We value and support conservation efforts of our stakeholders and encourage individuals to become involved at a local level.” April 10, 2015 marked the 150th birthday of the late Jack Miner, one of the founders of Canada’s conservation movement. Miner is credited with saving the Canada goose from extinction. In honour of his invaluable contributions to conservation, this year’s theme focuses on wild migrations. The Canadian Wildlife Federation will use this week as an opportunity to highlight the challenging migratory journeys of Canada’s wildlife, including 20 currently at-risk species. “National Wildlife Week is a great opportunity to appreciate the unsurpassed wildlife diversity and healthy ecosystems we enjoy in Saskatchewan,” Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation President David Pezderic said. “The 2012 Canadian Nature Survey confirms that more than 80 per cent of Canadians participate in nature-based activities every year and spend more than $40 billion annually on those activities.” National Wildlife Week, initially proclaimed by Parliament in 1947, is a program created by the Canadian Wildlife Federation for the purpose of celebrating our country’s natural heritage and promoting the importance of its conservation. The spirit of National Wildlife Week is complimentary of the Ministry of Environment’s dedication to the maintenance and preservation of Saskatchewan’s wildlife and natural habitats.

Jess wins By Anne Davison Jessica Humphries, from Elkhorn, rode her way to victory at the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair, winning a stable blanket and prize money in a class sponsored by Virden Animal Hospital. Humphries and her horse Skelton, a young Canadian warm blood, won the Manitoba Young Horse Four Year Old Championship. “It was a very exciting week for me and my horses at Winter Fair,” says 17-year-old Humphries. Skelton’s stable name is Nick, named for Nick Skelton, a show jumper on the Olympic Gold Medal British team. She says of her horse, “Nick was so well behaved for being a baby, and really proved himself. It was a very surreal moment when I realized he had won. “A lot of hard work had gone behind getting him to that point, and hoping that he would get there in the first place. I’m so proud of him and his achievements and it’s made me very excited for the future ahead with him.” Her horse is back home for a well deserved break until the weather gets better and the two can start the summer season riding. She says, her other horse, Smart had an excellent week too. “She made Top10 most of the time in our classes, which was a huge achievement. In one of our divisions we were against one of the top ranked Hunter Riders in Canada, Rodney Tulloch, which was a big deal to place in the top 10 against riders like him,” recounts the young woman from Elkhorn. Jess Humphries comes by her riding success honestly. She is the daughter of Mark and Jill Humphries of Westwood Ranch Garden Centre. Jill is a show jumper rider herself, certified in horsemanship and in England, she ran a 200-horse training centre. Humphries says of her daughter Jessica, “She’s completely dedicated.” Twice weekly Humphries trailered the horses to Wayne and Liz Plett’s nearby arena to train, throughout the winter. “All her life’s wish is to succeed with the horses. I never have to get her up in the morning, I think it must be in her blood.” The young rider does chores early in the morning, feeding up, not just her own horses, but the petting farm and display animals for Westwood Ranch. “She’s the animal person,” says Humphries.

#723 Moose Mountain Air Cadet Squadron participates in a citizenship tour of Edmonton #723 Moose Mountain Air Cadet Squadron traveled to Edmonton, AB. over the Easter Break to tour some of Edmonton’s attractions. The group departed Carlyle on Monday, April 6th and travelled to CFB Edmonton where the cadets were housed in barracks for the duration of their stay. Tuesday, April 7th had the cadets tour West Edmonton Mall where they were able to spend time swimming at the World Water Park and take in a movie at the Scotiabank Movie Theater. On Wednesday, April 8th the cadets travelled back in time at Fort Edmonton Park. The group was able to experience life during the fur trade and learn about the significance the fur trade had on the settlement of Western Canada. The squadron then travelled to the Loyal Edmonton Regiment Museum where they were able to learn about the Regiments role in the Second World War. The museum was very interactive allowing the youth to don numerous uniforms worn over the past 70 years and handle many different artifacts that have been collected by the archive. Upon completion of that tour, the group moved on to the Alberta Aviation Museum where they were guided through several static aircraft displays and the history of aviation in the area was explained. The day was concluded with exciting games of laser tag at Laser Quest. Thursday, April 9th had the cadets visit the TELUS World of Science. Many interactive displays gave the cadets opportunities to learn about space, the earth and the human body. Pandas: The Journey Home was an IMAX movie that was enjoyed by all at the science center. Before heading for home, the squadron travelled down to the town of Devon to visit the Leduc #1 Energy Discovery Center. At the center cadets learned about the history of oil production in the area, the numerous careers that exist in the oil industry and the various methods oil is recovered from the earth. The tour ended with the squadron splitting into smaller groups and designing their own miniature oil pipeline. Upon completion of the Energy Center Visit, the cadets boarded the bus to return to Carlyle. Although it was a short visit, the cadets had a fun and event filled trip. The Royal Canadian Air Cadets is a non profit, youth organization designed to teach young adults ages 12 to 18 citizenship, leadership and physical fitness. The program is administered free of charge with cadets meeting Monday nights at the Carlyle Elementary School.

Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The increase in the number of jobs over last year is proof that Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy remains strong.â&#x20AC;? Job numbers in Saskatchewan were on the rise this March, up 6,400 (1.1 per cent) over last March, the third highest percentage growth among all provinces. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget, our government made some major investments in skills and training,â&#x20AC;? Harrison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal

is to make sure Saskatchewan people have what they need to move into employment opportunities that are available now. This benefits employers and helps keep the economy moving forward.â&#x20AC;? Other highlights include: Full-time employment increased year-over-year by 8,700 and part-time decreased by 2,300. Reginaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment was up 1,800 (+1.3 per cent), and Saskatoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment was up 2,100 (+1.3 per cent) compared to last March.

Burning permits are no longer required to burn in or within 4.5 kilometres of Saskatchewan provincial forest during the wildfire season. New wildfire management legislation has arrived in time for the province’s wildfire season, which typically runs from April 1 to October 31. The Wildfire Act replaces The Prairie and Forest Fires Act, 1982, one of the oldest pieces of wildfire legislation in Canada. The new Act, with the accompanying wildfire regulations, provides a modern regulatory framework that ensures public safety while fostering sustainable economic growth. “This new legislation was developed in extensive consultation with stakeholders,” Environment Minister Scott Moe said. “The result is a streamlined legal framework that continues to effectively protect communities, industry, property and valuable forest resources and supports safe development on Crown forest lands.” The new legislation increases efficiency by reducing administrative requirements. For example, burning permits are no longer required to burn in or within 4.5 kilometres of the provincial forest during the wildfire season, and have been replaced by a simpler, more flexible burn notification system with an exemption for small fires. As well, the new Act and regulations clarify responsibility for wildfires within municipalities, enhance wildfire prevention and preparedness, and provide clear direction for industrial and commercial operators within the forest. The Wildfire Act was passed in the spring of 2014 but was not proclaimed until the accompanying regulations were developed. The new Act facilitates the development of wildfire chapters for the Saskatchewan Environmental Code, addressing topics including wildfire prevention and preparedness plans for industrial and commercial operations, and new buildings and structures where urban and forested areas meet. Anyone planning to burn in or near the provincial forest can find information about safe burning and the new notification system at www.saskatchewan.ca/fire or by calling their local Forest Protection Area office.

Health officials are reminding Saskatchewan residents to take precautions against hantavirus as the weather warms up. Hantavirus is transmitted by breathing in contaminated airborne particles from the droppings, urine and saliva of infected deer mice. Initial symptoms of hantavirus infection include fever, muscle aches, cough, headaches, nausea and vomiting. “Symptoms then get worse and lead to a severe and often fatal lung disease known as hantavirus pulmonary syndrome,” Saskatchewan’s Deputy Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Denise Werker said. “If you develop a fever, coughing and shortness of breath within one to six weeks of potential exposure to mouse-infested areas, seek medical attention immediately.” The risk of contracting hantavirus infection is currently low in Saskatchewan. However, deer mice are present throughout the province and the risk will increase as the weather continues to warm up and people resume seasonal activities. “It’s important to take appropriate precautions against exposure to hantavirus, whether you’re out for recreation or working on the farm cleaning buildings, moving woodpiles, handling grain or cleaning farm equipment,” Rural and Remote Health Minister Greg Ottenbreit said. “We’re all looking forward to a great Saskatchewan summer, but taking adequate
safety measures can go a long way when getting cottages, recreational vehicles or boats ready for use.” When cleaning rodent-infested areas people should: Ventilate the building by opening doors and windows for at least 30 minutes before cleaning; Use wet mopping methods and wear rubber or plastic gloves; Wear goggles and a filter mask when cleaning areas contaminated by droppings in a confined space; Dampen areas contaminated with rodent droppings with bleach disinfectant and remove droppings with a damp mop or cloth; Avoid using dry cleaning methods such as dusting, sweeping, vacuuming or air-hosing; Steam clean, shampoo, or spray upholstered furniture with a detergent, disinfectant, or a mixture of bleach
and water; and Wash clothes and bedding with detergent in hot water. You can also reduce exposure to hantavirus by: Blocking openings that might allow rodents to enter a building; Storing human and animal food, water and garbage in containers with tightly-fitted lids; and Moving woodpiles or other potential hiding places for mice away from your home. There have been 30 cases of hantavirus pulmonary syndrome reported in Saskatchewan since 1994, 10 of which resulted in death. For more information on hantavirus, visit www.saskatchewan.ca/live/ health-and-healthy-living/healthtopics-awareness-and-prevention/ diseases-and-disorders/hantavirus or HealthLine Online at www.health.
The infected Deer Mouse spreads Hantavirus through droppings, urine and saliva.

My garden - tips for 2015 No playing in my flower beds! Does it seem as though all the neighbourhood cats are spending their free time lurking in your flower beds? In addition to chewing on your favourite plants, some cats could be using your yard as a giant litterbox and digging up your seedlings when they kick the dirt around. It makes you seethe just to think about it! Instead of battling it out with the local cat population, here are some simple tips for discouraging them in a humane way. It’s a well-known fact that most cats don’t like water. If you look around the stores, you’re sure to find a sprinkler that is activated by a motion sensor. The sensor will detect a cat moving around your garden and the sprinkler will turn on. You’ve never seen a cat clear out so fast! This method has the advantage of being safe, and it works just as well for dogs and other wild animals. If you’re bothered by a cat that’s digging holes in your flowerbeds, you could put up some chicken wire or plant rows of small sticks. Plastic forks are also supposed to be effective when planted in the ground, tines up, and there’s no risk of injury either. Mulch, stones and twigs are other ways of deterring animals that like to make holes. Squirrels, woodchucks, raccoons and skunks are other animals that could invade your yard. Horticultural professionals can give you tips on how to discourage them in a nice way. Lastly, if you choose to use a repellent product, be sure it’s nontoxic and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
A few tips for keeping animals out of your yard and garden • Push wooden chopsticks or 10-inch plant stakes into flowerbeds every eight inches to discourage digging and scratching. • Cats dislike citrus smells. Scatter orange and lemon peels or spray with citrus-scented spray. You can also scatter citrus-scented pet bedding such as Citrafresh. • Coffee grounds and pipe tobacco also work to repel cats. Some people have also suggested lavender oil, lemon grass oil, citronella oil, eucalyptus oil and mustard oil. • Spray cat repellent (available at pet supply stores) around the edges of the yard, the top of fences, and on any favorite digging areas or plants. For information call your local animal supply store or PetsMart Corporate Office at 602-580-6100 or visit them on-line at www.petsmart.com. • Cover exposed ground in flowerbeds with large attractive river rocks to prevent cats from digging (they have the added benefit of deterring weeds). • Plant the herb “rue” to repel cats, or sprinkle the dried herb over the garden.
