Always wear a helmet while ATVing This summer the Saskatchewan AllTerrain Vehicle Association (SATVA) has been reminding ATVers

to Ride Safe. Ride Smart.

Protecting your head is one of the most important things you can do to help ensure a great ATV

SGI sues bars who served alcohol to Catherine McKay

SGI filed a statement of claim in Saskatoon Court of Queen’s Bench today against two Saskatoon liquor establishments that served Catherine McKay Jan. 2-3, 2016.

Information relayed in McKay’s criminal proceedings revealed she had been served alcohol at both Industrial Kitchen & Bar and Crackers Licensed Cocktail & Dining Room that night.

Court heard evidence that McKay’s blood alcohol concentration was nearly three times the legal limit when the vehicle she was driving collided with the car carrying four members of the Van de Vorst family Jan. 3, 2016.

Jordan and Chanda Van de Vorst died at the scene. Their son Miguire, 2, died in hospital shortly thereafter, while their

daughter Kamryn, 5, died the next day.

“This legal action is about accountability for a collision that killed an entire family. The person who chooses to drive impaired clearly is accountable for their actions. But we need to recognize that if a person is impaired, their judgment is also impaired. Those around them need to take action to ensure no lives are put at risk,” said Earl Cameron, Executive Vice-President of SGI. “When a business is selling alcohol for profit, there is a higher degree of responsibility to prevent the customers they serve from posing a danger to others and themselves. Because no one stopped Catherine McKay from getting behind the wheel, four people died.”

experience.

SATVA would like to remind ATVers how important it is to select the proper helmet and always wear it while operating your vehicle.

In Saskatchewan, a helmet and eye protection are required by law when riding an ATV on public land.

“A helmet is an essential piece of gear for anyone who is planning on ATVing,” says John Meed, General Manager of SATVA. “Wearing a helmet will help prevent a brain injury in the event of an accident. It’s the first step in making ATV safety a priority for riders.”

As you’re picking out your helmet, ensure it’s approved for use when riding an ATV in Canada, which is noted by a DOT or Snell certification.

You should also determine which helmet is most appropriate for you. Open-face helmets, while permitted, are not recommended as they provide no additional protection to the mouth and chin. Full-face helmets (with a visor) provide additional protection to the face, eyes, mouth, and chin. Offroad or motocross helmets offer the greatest amount of protection to the face, with increased protection for the face, mouth and chin. Except for helmets which have a

visor, approved eye protection must be worn Meed noted that while everyone has a helmet preference, the important thing is to wear one.

With countless varieties of helmets out there, he said there are plenty of reasons to get excited about purchasing proper head gear.

“Wearing a helmet not only will help you protect your head when your ATVing, but

it will also enable you to express yourself,” he said. “You could pick one with solid colours, a mixture of several colours or even various images.”

Once you buy and start using your helmet, your work isn’t completely over. Meed stresses the importance of helmet maintenance.

While many ATVers may not be aware of this fact, he said that all helmets must be replaced after

five years.

“The material that a helmet is made from degrades over time, and although a helmet may look the same as when you bought it, it will not necessarily protect the head and brain in the event of a crash,” Meed said. “Helmets are meant to protect for only one impact and should be replaced in the event of a collision, or if any dents or cracks appear.”

New cougar and bear trapping seasons The Government of Saskatchewan has established trapping seasons for cougars and black bears in select wildlife management zones in Saskatchewan’s farmland.

“Both cougar and bear populations have been expanding into the southern portion of Saskatchewan,” Environment Minister Scott Moe said.

“Establishing additional trapping seasons will better manage these growing populations and help reduce human and livestock encounters for both

species.”

The cougar season is trapping only; hunting free-ranging cougars is prohibited. The season will open on October 15 and close on March 31. Reporting is mandatory for all cougars harvested. This information will help the ministry determine the impact of this new harvest on the long-term sustainability of the species.

The number of incidental captures of cougar by Saskatchewan trappers has increased. Formalizing a season will encourage

more trapping in cougar areas and will allow trappers to retain and sell their catch. Limiting harvest to the use of traps or snares will help ensure that an annual harvest is maintained without creating a conservation threat to the species.

“We have been lobbying for a bear trapping season in southern Saskatchewan for several years,” Saskatchewan Trappers Association President Mike Keen said. “The Saskatchewan Trappers Association fully supports the new fur sea-

sons for both black bear and cougar, which will help to curb increasing populations and improve public safety, while providing additional harvesting opportunities for trappers.”

A black bear opportunity is being offered for southern fur conservation licence (SFCA) holders. Black bears may be trapped in wildlife management zones open to bear hunting (WMZs 30, 34 to 50, 52 to 55 and 68). The season begins September 10 and runs to May 31 of the following

year. This is a trapping (leg snare) season only and hunting free-ranging bears will not be allowed under a SFCA fur licence.

“Allowing bear trapping in these zones will provide an additional harvest opportunity,” Moe said. “Trapping is viewed as an appropriate way to harvest bear in southern Saskatchewan, and will provide additional revenue for south Saskatchewan trappers.”

The bear trapping season in the northern fur conservation area (NFCA) has been extend-

ed. Outside of provincial parks or recreation sites, the trapping season continues to June 30.

Black bears are found in areas containing suitable habitats across the southern portion of the province, and are increasingly involved in public safety or livestock predation incidents.

Fur licences for the SFCA are $40, and $20 for the NFCA. Saskatchewan’s 2017 Hunters’ and Trappers’ Guide will be available in July atwww.saskatchewan.ca/hunting.

LEKO’S CONSERVATION CORNER

By Ministry of Environment conservation officer Lindsey Leko

Bear Safety Summer is here... and people have been out �ishing, camping and enjoying the outdoors. With this in mind, I wanted to talk about something that we may run into while outdoors.

Today’s topic is black bears and what you should know about them.

Bears in Saskatchewan are found predominantly in the north, but some have made their way down as far as the Qu’Appelle Valley. Their range includes all northern Saskatchewan forests and extends southward into the aspen parkland, plus some more or less isolated ranges such as the Touchwood Hills, and river valleys like the Qu’Appelle Valley.

Black bears are Saskatchewan’s largest carnivore, with males weighing in on average at about 275 pounds, while the females come in around 150 to 175 pounds.

Like the name sounds, black bears are black in colour but some do have different coat colours including dark brown, cinnamon, blonde and even a blue-black colour. They will have a brown muzzle and a white patch on their throat down towards

their chest.

Bears like to live in dense brush and woodland habitats. They do not like to be around humans so in unpopulated areas they are active during the day. But in populated areas, they tend to be most active between dusk and dawn.

In the fall they will start looking for a den.

Normally it will be a hole, or an overturned tree.

Once they have found their winter nest they will begin a state called torpor. Bears are not actual hibernators where they sleep through the entire winter. They have been known to get up and walk around when the temperature outside warms up a bit, only to go back to sleep later on. Their body temperature stays pretty close to normal, but their heart rate and breathing are greatly reduced.

They do not need to eliminate any body wastes during hibernation because they are living only off of stored fat.

When they come out of their winter slumber, they will be hungry and will have lost up to 30 per cent of their body weight.

Black bears are omnivores. This means that they will eat a variety of

foods including berries, nuts, vegetation and carrion.

Truth be told, bears will eat almost anything that it can get its claws into and that is what poses the biggest risk when around these creatures.

They have a large diet and need to build up their fat reserves, especially in the fall prior to winter. They are known for frequenting land�ills and yards in order to get an easy meal.

This is not a natural food source for the bears, but it is a food source that they like.

I can’t blame them because if I am at a supper buffet with prime rib, I really don’t spend much time at the salad bar.

One should never feed a bear, as this changes the bear’s behaviour. Once a bear gets a taste of human food, there is a pretty good chance that they will become conditioned and, as a result, lose their natural fear of humans.

This can cause an immediate danger to you, or the next person that the bear encounters. It may be pretty happy getting free food from people, but imagine its behaviour towards the next person who does not have food.

Bears that have become

conditioned to human food pose the biggest problem to conservation of�icers.

When it comes to safety in bear country, many of the suggestions are common sense. If you see a bear, respect it and give it some distance. Never approach a sow and its cub. And, skip the urge to get a sel�ie with the bear behind you, or that may be the last photo you take.

Remember that bears are wild animals and should be treated with respect and caution in the wild.

Q: What do I do if I see a bear in the wild?

If it does not see you, then take a wide detour around the bear. Keep your kids close and pick up your dog if you have one. Never take your eyes off the bear.

Q: What do I do if I suddenly encounter a bear?

Well it is easy for me to say, but STAY CALM. Do not run as a bear will easily outrun you. A black bear can cover 50 feet in one or two seconds.

It may show signs of aggression like jaw popping, swaying its head, and huf�ing. Look at the bears head. If the ears are straight back, that too is a

sign of aggression and one you should note.

A bear standing on its hind legs may not be a sign of aggression. It may simply not know what you are. Calmly back away speaking to the bear in a clear voice so it knows you are a human. Do not take your eyes off the bear, always know where it is.

Make sure your kids are behind you and pick up your dog.

If you have a backpack then drop it, as it may distract the bear. Move yourself so as to put a barrier between you and the bear.

A tree, a rock, a vehicle, whatever works.

If you can climb a tree, do it. Although bears can climb trees easily it may see you as less of a threat.

Remember that a normal wild bear will have a fear of you as well and will want to retreat.

Q: What to do in the unlikely event of an attack?

A surprise encounter with a bear may result in a bluff charge. This is an intimidation technique. If you have bear spray with you, this is a good time to deploy it.

If you are attacked by a black bear, unlike a grizzly bear, you need to �ight back with everything that

you have.

All bets are off at this point and anything goes.

Direct your attack to the bears face and eye area.

Many times the bear will retreat when you �ight back.

Report any close encounter you have with a bear to your nearest conservation of�icer.

Did you know?

Bears have some unique characteristics: • The lips of the black bear, unlike those of other animals, are free from the gums.

• The eyesight of a black bear is poor, but its sense of hearing and smell are very strong.

• Bears are not necessarily honey lovers. They are more interested in the bee larvae they �ind in the hives.

• Illegal trade of bear gallbladders is still a conservation issue in Saskatchewan.

• There are 16 subspecies of the black bear.

Eight of the 16 are found in British Columbia.

Well, that should do it for another week. Once again, if you have questions ideas or comments, please send them my way.

Until next week, stay bear safe and keep your rod tip up.

Operation Burrowing Owl Celebrates 30 Years of Conservation!

2017 marks 30 years of Burrowing Owl conservation in the province!

Nature Saskatchewan’s Operation Burrowing Owl, a voluntary stewardship program, launched in 1987 by Nature Saskatchewan, the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation, World Wildlife Fund Canada, Wildlife Habitat Canada, and Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment. Public awareness increased by the presence of Prince Philip at the initiation of Operation Burrowing Owl (he was the president of the World Wildlife Fund at the time), which led to increasing public concern and desire for the protection of the species. Today, it is one of the longest running voluntary stewardship program in Canada.

Operation Burrowing Owl forms a partnership with landowners/land managers who voluntarily agree to conserve habitat for the endangered Burrowing Owl and other prairie wildlife. Today, almost 360 Saskatchewan landowners/land managers participate in the program. Together, they are conserving approximately 140,000 acres of habitat in pastures and other lands, while farming or

Tammy Thomas ranching on their land as they have for generations.

“Operation Burrowing Owl would not exist without the voluntary efforts of our Saskatchewan ranchers and farmers,” says Kaytlyn Burrows, Habitat Stewardship Coordinator with Nature Saskatchewan.

“In addition to habitat conservation, these landowners annually report the number of owls on their land,” says Burrows.

Operation Burrowing Owl records owl sightings to help determine the population trend and distribution of the Burrowing Owl throughout Saskatchewan. The information can then be used towards efforts to restore the population.

Any information given is never shared without the landowner’s permission.

Thanks to our dedicated participants, we look forward to the next 30 years of Operation Burrowing Owl and continuing to promote the Burrowing Owl as a

LEO

LEO

You will have the urge to make some changes and the timing will feel right. Vacation time is here and will provide you the opportunity to start drafting a business plan or looking for a better job.

VIRGO

You will attend seminars and take part in important negotiations. In your private life you’re feeling increasingly tired of doing all the work, which could mean drastic action is needed to change old habits.

You will thoroughly enjoy your vacation time. Even if it isn’t perfect, expect to experience many memorable moments and to feel happier and more energized than you have in a while.

You will wrap up all work-related matters before the holidays. Don’t wing it. Make your reservations this week; during peak season, all the best places get booked quickly.

You’ll be quiet and introspective this week. Some deep-seated emotions might get stirred up. As for romance, you’ll know right away if your partner is not being honest with you.

SAGITTARIUS

It’s the perfect time to carry out those projects you’ve been planning around the house. You will also tackle your flowerbeds and landscaping. Expect to spend your time off close to home.

Business never stops, even during the summer holidays. You will display an uncanny knack for uncovering golden opportunities or getting contracts signed.

CAPRICORN

You will be moving around a lot and be a tad distracted. Don’t forget your shopping list, or you’ll find yourself making a lot of return trips to the store. You’re never at a loss for words, but some people will always find a way to disagree with you.

AQUARIUS

You’ve recalculated your vacation budget several times to ensure you won’t come up short. In case you missed something, though, consider leaving yourself a cushion — even if it means dropping a couple of activities.

PISCES

Your ability to take the lead will be at the fore. At work and elsewhere, you’ll find ways to take advantage of every opportunity. Your energy will be second to none.

SCORPIO, SAGITTARIUS AND CAPRICORN

Week of July 23 to 29, 2017 ARIES

You’ll take some time off, but only after finishing everything on your to-do list. At home, you will achieve something that will make you particularly proud, whether it’s a floorto-ceiling cleaning spree or a longoverdue renovation.

TAURUS

Self-esteem is essential for personal growth. You have the power to ac complish great things that will make you proud and will take you far. Expect a confidence boost mid-week.

GEMINI

No need to go far to have a nice vacation. You’ll enjoy yourself just fine at home with friends and family.

Carlyle Cardinals host The Big Moose

A much-anticipated weekend of baseball returned to usher in a summer of competition as the Carlyle Cardinals hosted “The Big Moose” - the team’s annual July long weekend tournament. The Cardinals welcomed teams from Arm River, Beulah, Cabri, Estevan, Gull Lake, Regina, Saskatoon and Swift Current. In the end the Saskatoon Stallions defeated Estevan by one run in the final, ending the weekend 6-5.

The Carlyle Cardinals welcomed teams from across the province during their annual “The Big Moose” baseball tourney, July 1st and 2nd. Here, the Cardinals kick off the weekend’s competition against the Cabri River Rats at Kenosee Lake.

Future Carlyle Cardinal, Alexander Lemieux son of Cardinals coach, David Lemieux - takes a break at Kenosee Lake’s ball park during the team’s annual “The Big Moose” Tournament.

Report on French-language early learning and child care services received Provincial Secretary Nadine Wilson has received the Advisory Committee on Francophone Affairs’ latest report on FrenchLanguage Early Learning and Child Care Services.

“The committee’s recent focus on Saskatchewan’s young people helps to ensure that children are set up for success from the

Ooh la la!!

very beginning,” Wilson said. “I’d like to thank the committee for their dedication as they work to preserve Fransaskois culture for future generations.”

Some of the suggestions the committee has put forward include adding French language as criteria for allocating new child care spaces and that the province

consult with the francophone community to increase the number of tools and translation of material available to child care facilities and educators.

“Members of the committee believe that further development of early childhood services in French is essential for language learning and Fransaskois

identity building,” Advisory Committee on Francophone Affairs Chair Michel Dubé said.

To support Frenchspeaking child care operators and families with young children, the Ministry of Education has translated its child care-related legislation, early learning curricula resources and a number of child care forms

and documents into French. The ministry also employs a bilingual early years consultant and supports nearly 300 child care spaces in nine francophone schools.

The report’s recommendations were formed following consultations with the Ministry of Education and francophone community organizations. The role of

the Advisory Committee on Francophone Affairs is to advise the Provincial Secretary on the implementation of the provincial government’s French-language services policy.
