Cannington Manor Fair Day

Cannington Manor Fair Day is fast approaching; it will be hosted on Sunday, Aug. 6, and will feature rope making, ice cream making, a variety of old time games, and more.

In 1882, Captain Edward Michell Pierce established an English colony northeast of the present day village of Manor. The settlement became a place to educate English settlers on farming practices in Saskatchewan, while providing Victorian culture and recreation.

Springing up quickly Cannington Manor grew in short time. Just as quickly as the settlement sprang up, it would dissolve when the CPR built south of the settlement by approximately six miles.

In the early 1900’s this was detrimental to the community due to dis-

tance of travel at the time.

Drought and grain prices made it impossible to thrive here, but the original foundations of houses and the mill are still evident. While the church is still operational in the summer by locals.

Each year Cannington Manor Provincial Park celebrates the spirit of the pioneers and hosts numerous events throughout the year giving visitors to the park an idea of what life was once like.

One of their major events occurs during the August long weekend, and the Cannington Manor Fair will be hosted on

Sunday, Aug. 6, from noon to 5 p.m. People attending can take part in games, making ice cream, making rope, and learn about life in Saskatchewan in the early years of settlement.

Interpreters at the park dress in period costumes and are knowledgeable about the settlement.

The park still has numerous activities left for the summer including its usual Manor House Grounds Tour, Trades Day, Cannington

by Candlelight, Vintage Village Sunday, and Drawing Room Day. Each one focuses on a different aspect of life in the prairies in the late 1800s.

giveaways and activities. Each concert will close with a �irework display.

All aspects of the Jeux du Canada Games Festival, includ-

ing Saskatchewan Day, are free and accessible.

Since 1967, alternating bi-annually between summer and winter games, amateur ath-

letes representing all Canadian provinces and territories have competed at the Canada Games for the Canada Games Flag and Centennial Cup.

More than 4,000 athletes and coaches from across the country will head to Winnipeg for the 2017 Canada Summer Games.

Running July 28 to August 13, the games feature 16 sports and are the largest multisport event for young athletes in Canada. The Saskatchewan Games Council will formally announce Team Sask as well as unveil the Team Sask ceremonial walkout uniform and team pins on Saturday, July 22, at a media event Mosaic Stadium. Later that day, during the International Friendly soccer match between Valencia CF and the New York Cosmos, members of Team Sask will be recognized during a half time event: “Salute to Team Sask”.

“I look forward to Saskatchewan’s participation in the Canada Summer Games and Jeux du Canada Summer Games Festival in Winnipeg,” Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport Ken Cheveldayoff

said. “In addition to our talented athletes and coaches competing at the games, some of our sport history will be on display and performances will feature some of Saskatchewan’s favourite musicians. This will be an excellent showcase of our homegrown athletic and artistic talent.”

This year marks 50 years of the Canada Games and coincides with celebrations for Canada 150.

The Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries Jeux du Canada Games Festival at Winnipeg’s The Forks, which runs July 29 to August 12, is a celebration of culture across Canada, with each province and territory having the opportunity to act as host for a day.

Sunday, August 6, is Saskatchewan Day and will feature performances by The Pistolwhips, Buffy Sainte-Marie and The Sheepdogs.

The travelling Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame exhibit will also be on display at the event. In

The dangers of Blue Green Algae The recent warm temperatures in the province may result in the quick formation of algae blooms.

The Water Security Agency and the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health are advising the public to avoid direct contact and any consumption of any surface water where blue-green algae blooms are occurring. Blue-green algae blooms can be harmful for household pets and livestock. Residents and producers are advised to keep their animals away from these areas.

Algae blooms are heavy concentrations of blue-green algae, which often give the water a

What are Cyanobacteria?

Cyanobacteria live in water and produce their own food through photosynthesis. Other names for cyanobacteria are blue-green algae or pond scum. Blue-green algae grow in warm, shallow, slow moving water and form a bloom.

What are Blue-Green Algae Blooms?

Algae blooms are a visible growth of algae found in lakes, ponds and marshes. Blooms look like thick pea soup and may have a blue-green colour and a bad, rottenegg smell.

What Causes a Bloom?

No single factor causes a blue-green algae bloom.

Blooms are more likely to

shimmering, foamy and often pea soup appearance. The blooms may be blue-green, bright blue, grey or tan in colour.

Algae blooms commonly occur during calm, hot weather in areas of lakes and reservoirs with shallow, slow moving or still water that has sufficient nutrients. The blooms can last up to three weeks and can be pushed around the lake or reservoir by the wind.

Direct contact or consumption of algaecontaminated water can cause red skin, sore throat, cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In addition, caution should be taken

occur during hot, sunny weather, in calm water that is rich in phosphorus and nitrogen.

How Will Blue-Green Algae Blooms Affect My Health?

Contact with bluegreen algae may cause skin and eye irritation, allergic reactions or a rash. Some blue-green algae produce a toxin.

Swallowing water with blue-green algae toxin may cause vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. Contact your physician if you have swallowed water with blue-green algae. Fish caught from an area with a blue-green algae bloom may be eaten in moderation but avoid eating the internal organs.

when considering the consumption of fish or shellfish caught in areas

of a water body where a bloom exists; the internal organs of the fish

should not be eaten.

If you have health symptoms, call

Healthline 811 or contact your health care provider.

Does a Blue-Green Algae Bloom Mean the Water is contaminated?

No. Blue-green algae grow naturally and are not considered a contaminant in water. However, as much as 60% of all blue-green algae blooms contain toxins. Blooms containing even one species of toxic blue-green algae may be harmful to your health. The only way to tell if a bloom has the toxin is to have water samples analysed in a laboratory.

Is it Safe to Drink Water that has BlueGreen Algae in It? Can I Cook or Bathe in the Water?

Wa te r t re a t m e n t plants can remove blue-

green algae and toxins from surface water using filtration and chlorination. Residential water treatment devices may or may not be effective in removing blue green algae cells and toxins. The manufacturer should be consulted to determine if a water treatment device is capable of removing cells and toxins.

Untreated surface water containing blue-green algae blooms is unsafe for drinking and cooking.

Boiling water does not destroy blue-green algae toxin and may actually release more toxin as the cells are destroyed.

We cannot see, smell or taste the toxins. Unless your water supply is treated, use an alter-

nate source of water for drinking, cooking and bathing.

What Precautions Should Be Taken When an Algae Bloom is Present?

• Avoid contact with water where a swimming advisory is in effect.

• Avoid water with algae blooms or scum even if there is no swimming advisory.

• If you are in contact with a bloom, you should shower as soon as possible.

• Wash any clothing or material that has contacted the bloom.

• Do not let children or pets swim in or drink water where there are visible algae.

• Do not allow live-

stock into areas with visible algae.

• Do not water ski in water with blue-green algae.

• Do not irrigate your lawn or garden with water that has blue-green algae.

• If you are experiencing health effects from contact with blue-green algae, seek medical attention.

Recreational areas of lakes and ponds may be tested when algae blooms are present. If toxin levels are too high, an advisory will be posted by the local health authority in the recreational areas that will warn the public to avoid the water until the advisory can be rescinded.

NIGHT SKIES | AUGUST AN ASTRONOMY ARTICLE BY JAMES EDGAR The Moon begins the month just past first quarter and approaching apogee, the furthest distance in its orbit away from Earth. On the 3rd, Saturn is a scant 3 degrees south of the Moon. Full Moon is on the 7th, which is a hardly noticeable partial lunar eclipse for people in the Eastern Hemisphere.

Neptune is occulted on the 9th for viewers in the extreme south of Australia and most of Antarctica. Aldebaran, the bright star in Taurus, The Bull, is occulted is parts of South America, the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia on the 16th. For us, it will be a close call, as the star is within half a degree. On the 19th, Venus is 2 degrees to the north of the Moon, and on the 21st, viewers across the USA will get to see the Great American Eclipse (or so it is being touted). This is the first total solar eclipse seen from North America since 1979, so there is much excitement in the astronomical community. By the 25th, Jupiter will be within 3 degrees of our satellite, not an easy observation. And, at the tail-end of the month, Saturn once again is close by, 4 degrees south of the Moon.

Mercury is in a good position for viewing in

the western evening sky during the first half of August, and reaches inferior conjunction (between the Sun and Earth) on the 26th.

Venus is receding from us in the early dawn sky, but remains prominent throughout the month. It passes within 2 degrees of the Moon on the 19th, as noted above.

Mars is too close to the Sun to be seen.

Jupiter rises in the east during daylight, and is low in the western sky when it finally becomes visible. It will be a difficult object by monthend, as it is too close

to the Sun. The close approach of the Moon on the 25th will be a tough observation.

Saturn meets up with the Moon twice during the month, once on the 3rd, and again on the 30th. The Ringed Planet is well placed for viewing throughout the month.

The planet has been retrograding for most of the month, and on the 25th, it begins prograde motion against the back-

ground stars.

Uranus is just beginning retrograde motion on the 3rd, remaining that way for the rest of the year. It rises late in the evening and is straight south just before sunrise.

Neptune rises in midevening, also retrograding (of course, it’s the Earth moving faster that makes it appear that that the outer planets move backwards).

The Perseid meteors make their annual, predictable, appearance on August 12. The best time to view them is in the late evening to early morning, although the Moon can interfere with seeing the dimmer flashes. Perseus will be in the northeastern sky, so dress warmly, lay on a blanket or a lounge chair and enjoy the view. Expect to see anywhere up to 90 meteors per hour under very

good conditions.

James Edgar has had an interest in the night sky all his life. He joined The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada in 2000 and is now the Editor of the renowned Observer’s Handbook, and Production Manager of the bimonthly RASC Journal.

The IAU named asteroid 1995 XC5 “(22421) Jamesedgar” in his honour.

By Kelly Running Need a book. Take a book. Leave a book.

Little Free Libraries are becoming popular. The small, birdhouse-like boxes are popping up in places like Redvers and Kenosee Lake, and are a fun way to encourage reading. The Free Little Library allows one to leave a book once finished and pick up a new one that someone else has left behind.

Perfect for vacationing or if you are simply looking for a new read, Little Free Libraries are becoming more and more popular. Through Little Free Libraries, millions of books are exchanged each year – and offers access to books for readers of all ages – “One of the most successful ways to improve the reading achievement of children is to increase their access to books, espe-

Little Free Libraries cially at home,” Little Free Library online explains.

Although a lot of material can be found online or people have taken to e-readers, there is still something special about a paper book. The intrigue and suspense with each page turned, excitedly awaiting the plot twist or conclusion.

The Little Free Library is unique as it provides 24/7 access to books, encourages a love of reading, and encourages a unique bond amongst book lovers who partake in the exchange of books. You never know where one might have come from or where one will be left once it’s picked up.

You could even write in the cover where it was picked up and left, with hopes that it will continue Little Free Library’s were created by Todd

Bol, who in 2009, had lost his mother and began driving one day – looking to work through his grief. Arriving home to Hudson, Wisconsin, he decided to build a box that would house books free for people to take one or leave one in honour of his mother – a former teacher. This grew into the non-profit, Free Little Libraries.

Little Free Library’s are found in over 70 countries and there are over 50,000 of them standing. If traveling this summer visit, https://littlefreelibrary. org/ourmap/ to find one along the route you’re taking this year.

So, while in Redvers stop by the Log Cabin to take or leave or trade a book, or go for a walk along Arcola Ave. in Moose Mountain Provincial Park and find the one at the park to interact with.

A beaver’s pelt has two layers. The inner layer is a soft, fuzzy and warm layer, while the outer one is coarser and is waterproof, keeping the inner layer dry. This is why fur traders were interested in the animal’s hide.
