Steps taken to control Forest tent caterpillar numbers in Moose Mountains By Kelly Running Forest tent caterpillars are back for the year. Both Moose Mountain Provincial Park and White Bear Lake Resort have used environmentally friendly spray (Btk – an organic bacteria the caterpillar must ingest) to help control the abundance of tent caterpil-

this year, particularly in the southeast portion of the province.” SaskParks conducted egg mass surveys of several parks and found that Moose Mountain was in need of spray, as was Buffalo Pound, Crooked Lake, Echo Valley, and Good Spirit Lake. “However, no spray is 100 [percent] effective and there WILL BE caterpillars in these and other parks,” SaskParks writes, while reminding people of the following: • Tent caterpillars, though unpleasant in such masses, do not bite or sting and are not poisonous • Within a tent caterpillars life cycle, the caterpillar stage is relatively short-lived and by mid-June should be entering cocoons, which they will emerge from in late July. As moths they will be plentiful for �ive

to 10 days. • Tent caterpillars will defoliate trees and shrubs; but, Saskatchewan vegetation is resilient and new leaves will reappear and by July should be nearly completely foliated. • Healthy trees will bounce back easily for four or more consecutive years when defoliated in this way. • Tent caterpillar populations are cyclical, typically lasting three years, and emerging in such large numbers approximately every 10 years (or anywhere between six and 16 years). • Being that it is nature, although the tent caterpillars will be removed from around buildings, they will return. Areas will not be completely without them; but, visiting a park or resort comes with being in nature and currently this

is part of the landscape. • Home remedies and other products to control the tent caterpillars will

June 7 is Clean Air Day. Part of Canadian Environment Week, this special day aims to drive awareness about air quality. The negative impacts of air pollution on our health are now well-known. In fact, tens of thousands of Canadians suffer from respiratory problems related to and worsened by air pollution Thankfully, there are ways to combat the negative effects of air pollution. While many people are aware that driving less helps reduce air pollution, a lot of people overlook the important role that plants — and especially trees — play in keeping the air clean. Trees produce oxygen, absorb pollutants from the air and trap particulate matter, such as pollen, dirt,

ash and dust. Because larger trees have more leaf area than smaller ones, they are typically more effective at removing pollutants from the air. For example, trees with trunk diameters of less than 15 centimetres can each remove up to 0.1 kilograms of pollutants from the atmosphere per year, while trees with trunk diameters greater than 75 centimetres can each remove more than 1.8 kilograms of pollutants per year. According to a 2014 study by TD Bank Group on the value of urban forests, urban forests play a key role in reducing air pollution. For instance, Toronto’s urban forest �ilters around 25 per cent of the annual emissions that industries produce in the city. This is equivalent to about 1,900 metric tons of air pollution

removed from the atmosphere per year; equivalent to the emissions released from more than one million automobiles or 100,000 single family homes. Canada’s forests as a whole also play an important role in cleaning our air. A 2017 study by the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) and TD Bank Group found that forests provide an average bene�it of $26,382 per hectare per year in ecological services. These services include carbon storage, water �iltration and air puri�ication. NCC contributes to cleaner air through its protection and restoration of natural areas such as forests. You too can do your part. Besides using your car less often, you can plant trees, avoid cutting down large trees in your yard, and/or help NCC protect

Forest tent caterpillars are a moderately sized caterpillar, black to gray in colour with blue and yellow stripes and white spots on each abdominal segment. It is considered a pest, which defoliates trees, although by mid-June they will enter pupation and trees will nearly completely bounce back by July. The yellow/brown moth it turns into will emerge in July, but will only last five to 10 days.

If you’d like to help out on an NCC property, NCC’s Conservation Volunteers program provides several tree planting opportunities. In addition to planting these living air �ilters, volunteers also work to remove species that may pose a threat to the survival of native tree species. For example, invasive species such as the European gypsy moth and emerald ash borer threaten about 10 per cent of Toronto’s urban tree population. As forests are highly effective at absorbing air pollutants and trapping particulate matter, invasive species removal is crucial to protecting trees.

Golf Kenosee and Club 19 looking forward to 2017 season By Kelly Running Golf Kenosee – a golfing oasis nestled in the Moose Mountains – has had an excellent start to 2017 season. “The year started really well and we came through the winter better than anyone really expected with how cold the winter was,” Golf Pro Shawn Woods explained. “The course is green and we could use a rain and a little less wind, but it’s been a great opening to the season so far.” “I’ve had numerous people come in raving about how great the course is and that’s how we gauge how well we’re doing. Calvin and crew did a great job getting the course ready and do a great job maintaining it all year.” This year Golf Kenosee is carrying a different variety of products in the Pro Shop, with fewer clubs and more clothing/accessories for the gol�ing enthusiast. “Father’s Day is coming up, so if you’re looking for a great gift for dad, we have lots of great gifts here,” Woods added. League nights – open to both members of the club and non-members – have all begun with Tuesday Ladies at 10 a.m. with a modi�ied

shotgun start, Tuesday evenings at 6 p.m. is Men’s Night with a shotgun start, Wednesday Seniors starts with a modi�ied shotgun at 10 a.m., and Thursday is Ladies Fun Night with a 6 p.m. shotgun start. “All are welcome to come out and play in those, it’s a fun time and the prizes are great!” Woods exclaimed. “The cost for non-members is low; you get nine-holes of golf and supper for a great value. You get to meet great people and play a great course.” “Our �irst Couples’ Night is on June 14, which will be held once a month.” Wednesdays starting on June 21 – other than when Couples’ Night is on – will also see Family Night with cost for adults $15 and kids $5. Contact the Pro Shop for more information or to book a tee time. “We also have junior clinics and ladies clinics coming up, and if anyone is interested in booking lessons they can contact me at the Pro Shop or book on our website [ www.gol�kenosee.com],” Woods added. “Our great staff is back and we encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the golf course and the day. It’s probably one

of the top ten golf courses in Saskatchewan; it’s unique in Saskatchewan because of the trees and elevation, which isn’t found anywhere else in Saskatchewan. It’s a little oasis that people can’t believe is here when they �irst see it.” Up in Club 19, Cheryl Dubois, says that they’re excited to be introducing a new menu soon which will feature new pastas, new chicken dishes, and a new quinoa salad. “We’re quite excited about the new menu!” Dubois exclaimed. “We had a record Mother’s Day brunch, which was wonderful, and our next big event will be our Father’s Day buffet [on Sunday, June 18].” Dubois wanted to also say, “Thank you to all of our patrons that supported us over the winter!” She went on to add that they have a fantastic team at Club 19, with wonderful staff which includes two new supervisors: Ben Dubois and Brooke Hourd. So, be on the lookout for the new menu to be released soon and enjoy food/drink in Club 19 or on their wrap around deck which overlooks Kenosee Lake and the �irst hole of the course.

Rule of the Week By Golf Saskatchewan Following last week’s rule, we had a followup question. To review, sand and soil cannot be removed for a ball lying Through the Green, except for a couple of situations. As spring golf can be trying at times, the grass is thin and the superintendent and grounds crew has a dif�icult task to get everything ready for the members and golf customers. Many Saskatchewan courses aerate the teeing grounds, fairway, rough and putting greens to ensure healthy turf and assist in growing conditions. QUESTIONS: For a ball, not on the putting green, can a player remove the aeration plugs? What happens if my ball lies in one of the hole plugs? Rule 23 Loose Impediments - 23-1. Relief Except when both the loose impediment and the ball lie in or touch the same hazard, any loose impediment may be removed without penalty. If the ball lies anywhere other than on the putting green and the removal of a loose impediment by the player causes the ball to move, Rule 18-2 applies .... Which means the player

is penalized 1 stroke and the ball must be replaced. Decision 23/12 Aeration Plugs QUESTION: Are plugs of compacted soil produced through aeration of fairways loose impediments? ANSWER: Yes. Loose soil is not a loose impediment. However, such plugs, since they consist of compacted soil, are loose impediments. This means a player may remove those plugs which are detached/ loose from the area where the ball is to be played. The player must be careful not to cause the ball to move. Handicap Committee During spring golf time, it is advisable the Handicap Committee, Superintendent and Management of the club informs the golf patrons about changing conditions on the course. This can be an email or letters to all members, a message posted by the computer, pro shop counter or the 1st/10th tee. The course will be aerated on the following day(s) and includes the teeing grounds, fairways and putting greens. For play until (a speci�ic date/time) we will be playing “Preferred Lies” to ensure proper play. If a ball comes to rest in an areation hole, a play-

er may �ind the Nearest Point of Relief, that is not nearer the hole and use the situation described below. Procedure: A player is allowed to mark, lift, clean and place a ball within a scorecard length (handicap committee can determine the length) not nearer the hole. (and ). Where: the Handicap Committee may limit the the area such as the fairway of the hole being played only or sometimes it is Through the Green (excluding teeing ground and the putting green of the hole being played and all hazards on the course). Integrity of the Game: Inform the golf patrons this process cannot be used to get them out of a situation such as the out of trees, out of a hazard, back in play from Out of Bounds or from under/ behind a tree. This procedure can only be done once before a player makes a stroke at the ball. Important: If a player “bumps” or “rolls” the ball into a favorable position, she/he is penalized 1 stroke and the ball must be replaced. Next week, we will discuss relief from a cart path and when a ball has to be dropped on a cart path. Happy gol�ing and remember the Rules of Golf Matter

Leko’s Conservation Corner – Finding Young Animals By Lindsey Leko For a conservation of�icer, spring is a great time of the year. Fish start to run, the angling season starts and people get out of their houses and enjoy activities in the great outdoors. On the other hand, it can be very stressful for of�icers. One of the challenges we see every year is orphaned and found wildlife. Over the years, I have dealt with upset anglers, hunters and landowners, but it is a whole different story when an of�icer has to go to a residence and remove an orphaned fawn that a family has taken in and tried to raise. I admit that the intention is good, but taking any animal out of its natural habitat is not good for you or the animal. Many people don’t realize that under the Captive Wildlife Regulations it is unlawful to be in possession of live wildlife. That said, there are a few exceptions. Wildlife rehabilitators are licensed to care for orphaned and injured animals. They are trained to make sure that animals are given appropriate care and nutrition so that once

the animal is released back into the wild they will have the best chance of survival on their own, and will not spread disease or be a danger to the public. White-tailed deer normally give birth to their young in May or June. What usually happens is that someone �inds a fawn curled up by itself away from its mother in a �ield or thicket of trees. It may look abandoned, but that is not the case. The reason they are left alone is because the young fawn cannot keep up with the doe and moving around makes it susceptible to predators. If you approach it, instinctively it should not move as it does not want to be noticed. You may even �ind a fawn next to a road because the doe has left it there for safety. If you �ind a doe close by that has been killed by a car, then the fawn may be orphaned. However, there are indicators to help determine if the fawn is truly orphaned. Has it been lying in the same position for more than 10 hours? Is it vocal? Is it covered in insects? Is it wet? Perhaps from

GET YOUR DECK PROJECT STARTED

morning dew indicating it has been there for a prolonged period. If you �ind an orphaned deer, contact your local conservation of�icer. Conservation of�icers have access to a number of licensed wildlife rehabilitators in the province, who will raise the abandoned animal or bird until it can be released to the wild. Make sure that you do not feed the fawn anything. Young fawns require their normal diet and anything other than that can have severe consequences for the animal. If by chance you have removed the young deer, it may not be too late to take it back to the spot where you found it. Get it back to that location as soon as possible. Human or dog scent will NOT stop a doe from taking the fawn back. Keeping the fawn too long will result in the doe’s milk drying up for future feeds. The fawn may be confused and want to follow you when you leave. Gently push it down and leave the area quickly. If after 10 or so hours, check the fawn again to see if the doe has returned. If she has not

returned, contact your local conservation of�icer to determine its appropriate placement with a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. There are other animals that are taken from the wild. The list below identi�ies some of these and what to do with them. Birds falling out of nests – If you �ind a pink, featherless bird, simply put it back in the nest from which it fell. You may also �ind �ledglings. They jump from the nest when they get big and land on the ground. It takes a bit of time for the muscles to develop so the bird can �ly. It may jump around on the ground for a while. Please remember that it’s not like Bugs Bunny cartoons where a mother bird kicks the baby bird out of the nest and half-way down it starts to �ly with a smile on its face. If you have dogs or cats, keep them away as household cats do more damage to birds than any other predator. Baby ducks – The key with ducks is that they should be handled as little as possible. Try to locate the mother and allow the duckling to be vocal, as

FOOD WORLD

that is how it communicates with its mother. Do not simply take it down to the water and introduce it to another family. Baby ducks may drown and the mother of another brood may act aggressively towards it. If you cannot �ind the mother, keep it warm and contact your local conservation of�icer or a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. Skunks and raccoons – We do not recommend keeping either of these animals in captivity. Both skunks and raccoons are carriers of rabies, distemper and parasites. Young skunks and raccoons may not be close to their mother, but that does not mean the mother is not close by. If you harass or try to pick up one of these two critters, you can expect their mother to defend them �iercely. Remember that even baby skunks can spray and carry diseases such as rabies. Raptors – It is not uncommon for a young raptor to fall from its nest during its �irst attempts at �light. This is normal and the parents are generally close by. Observe from a

distance and try not to handle the raptor too much. Don’t worry about your scent on it because if an owl will eat a skunk, it is not worried about your scent on its young. If there are obvious signs of injury, contact your local conservation of�icer or a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. The bottom line is that you should leave all animals alone in the wild. If you are unsure, please contact your local conservation of�icer or the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Saskatchewan (306242-7177). They will be able to provide you with some great advice. If the animal needs to be captured, they can also give you some advice on how to do it safely. Editor’s note: Ministry of Environment conservation of�icer Lindsey Leko has spent more than 25 years as a conservation of�icer in Saskatchewan. For many years, Of�icer Leko contributed a column to local papers on a variety of issues related to hunting, �ishing, and other resourcerelated issues.

4 Canadian treasures

WEEKS TO GO

Quiz

CANADA: NATURAL SOURCE OF PRIDE SINCE 1867

TEST YOUR CANADIAN KNOWLEDGE

Cathedral Grove: Canada’s oldest inhabitants Off the southern coast of British Columbia lies Vancouver Island, home to our country’s oldest and biggest living trees. The most colossal species include Douglas fir, western red cedar and Sitka spruce. While the largest samples of these towering sentinels are tucked away on the southern part of the Island, Cathedral Grove in MacMillan Provincial Park is easily accessible from the highway and allows locals and visitors alike the opportunity to stand beneath an authentic stretch of old growth forest. Cathedral Grove is a provincially protected remnant of an ancient Douglas fir forest. The most massive of the trees are approximately 800 years old and measure 75 metres tall by 9 metres in circumference. These giants are the remaining survivors of a forest fire that devastated the landscape some 350 years ago. In addition to Douglas firs, western red cedars, western hemlock and grand firs populate the area. The forest is also home to numerous species of wildlife, including deer, elk, black bears, cougars, owls, woodpeckers, insects, reptiles and amphibians. The Cameron River flows through the park, and various species of trout and other fish inhabit the running waters. The site was a well-known tourist stop as early as the 1920s but only became classified as a provincial park in 1947. Residents petitioned the provincial government for many years to acquire the lands. Finally, in 1944, H.R. MacMillan (chief forester of British Columbia and head of H.R. MacMillan Export Company) forfeited his company’s timber holdings for the “perpetual enjoyment of the public in recognition of the unique stand of trees.” However, long before Europeans stood in amazement under the wooden giants, the trees were significant to Coast Salish peoples in the area. There’s evidence of culturally modified trees—specifically redwood cedars with strips of bark peeled off the trunks—that dates back over a thousand years. The Coast Salish believe the trees have healing and spiritual powers and long ago learned how to fell and use them for a variety of purposes. The rot-resistant wood was used to make canoes, post and beam houses, storage trunks, dance masks and totem poles, among many other things.

THE STORIES BEHIND OUR SYMBOLS

THE 52 LARGEST GROUPS IN CANADA’S MULTICULTURAL MOSAIC

THE FRENCH-CANADIAN COMMUNITY

NUNAVUT FLAG: NUNAVUT

Canadians with French ancestry make up the secondlargest ethnic group in the country, with almost eight million individuals—roughly 22 per cent of the total population—claiming full or partial French ancestry. An overwhelming majority of this group resides in Quebec, with much smaller but still significant populations in New Brunswick, Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba and British Columbia. French exploration of Canada began in the early 16th century, but the first major permanent settlement wasn’t established until 1608, when the Father of New France, Samuel de Champlain, founded Quebec City. French merchants became increasingly interested in the resources of North America, and some formed fur-trading companies that settled and developed the land. Settlements were established along the St. Lawrence River and in Acadia, as well as along the Mississippi River. In the mid-17th century hundreds of unmarried women—known as Filles du Roy—were sent to New France to help populate the settlements. Many North Americans—and up to 75 per cent of Quebecers, according to some estimates—can trace their maternal ancestry back to these women. When France ceded Canada to Britain after the Seven Years’ War in 1763, many French Canadians remained. They were the primary inhabitants until British settlers came and populated present-day Quebec and Ontario. Acadians however (Acadia had been ceded approximately 50 years earlier), were largely deported and many resettled in Louisiana. In modern times, the influence of the French in Canada continues to be powerful, especially in Quebec, where many of the original French governmental structures are preserved and French is the only official language.

When Nunavut was first designated as a territory in 1999, its territorial flag was also flown. It depicts a red inuksuk—an Inuit talisman—on a yellow and white background. The blue star is meant to indicate the North Star and the wisdom and leadership of the elders.
