Duck Mountain Ski Area boasts record season Courtesy of The Kamsack Times COVID-19 has had its impact felt around the globe, and locally, due to the health concerns surrounding the novel coronavirus, the Duck Mountain Ski Area closed for the season one week early, as of March 15.

“The 2019-20 season was one for the record books,” according to Sarah Burrows, kitchen supervisor at the T-Bar Café at the Duck Mountain Ski Area. “The Ski Area was open 49 days versus 37 days last season. For the first time in roughly 20 years, it was not closed once due to bad weather, and saw around two feet of total snowfall.

There were a total of 2,399 skiers this season, which started with Christmas break, topping last year’s number of 1,506 by almost 1,000 skiers.

“Our numbers usually increase by 100 each season, so we are very proud of the figures this year,” Burrows said.

Another success was the Little Ducks program which saw 12 youngsters, aged five to 12, complete the five weeks of instruction on Sundays and graduate to using the T-bar.

Also, over 10 school groups visited the Ski Area during the season, with 20 plus per group.

“The students from Greenall High School in Balgonie not only came to ski, but fabricated quinzees, makeshift snow shelters, and camped outdoors during their trip,” Burrows said.

On the day that staff from Asessippi Ski Resort in Manitoba visited the Ski Area for a private day of skiing, they were greeted with 10 cm of fresh powder, and “had a very nice time.” On March 1, after the Duck Mountain Loppet, members of the Canadian Ski Patrol spent “an enjoyable day of skiing” at Duck Mountain.

A visit in January by past Saskatchewanderer, Ashlyn George, to kick off the month of the “Retro Wanderer” in celebration

of the 10th anniversary of the program, was also a highlight for the Ski Area.

Other “firsts” for this season included the SkiBoot Olympics, a fun afternoon of activities enjoyed by two-person teams, including an “endurance three-legged race,” won by Shiloh Leson and Silver Nordin of Canora, and a Wing Night kitchen fundraiser event on March 7, including live music by Krystine Day and tapedmusic by DJ “J.” “There were upwards of 80 people who came out to support the fundraiser, and we raised a good portion of funds needed to complete our kitchen renovations,” Burrows said. “This summer, renovations will include new flooring and countertops and an additional deep fryer and sink. This will bring the kitchen up to more modern and efficient standards.”

New menu items this season included a clubhouse sandwich, wings and Chef Sarah’s southwest sauce (a secret

Grades 5 and 6 students of KCI (Kamsack Comprehensive Institute) were one of the school groups to spend time at the Duck Mountain Ski Area this season. recipe that was being used on different menu items).

“Thanks to everyone that made the 2019/20

season one for the record books,” it was said.

“Outstanding weather and temperatures made this season a perfect

winter for hitting the slopes. The staff and volunteers are already looking forward to next season.”

Remember the food bank needs donations

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer As people are stocking up on food amid concerns over COVID-19 they are reminded to maybe buy a

can or two extra for the Salvation Army Food Bank in Yorkton.

Lieutenant Samuel Tim told Yorkton This Week last Wednesday that they are beginning to see an

increase in demand.

“We are seeing an increase this week in people looking for food,” he said, adding that it is not just regular clients “but some new ones too.”

SPRING INTO ACTION with Burpee Vegetable and Garden Seeds!

Come and Get Yours Today!

Tim said they are anticipating the numbers will increase next week, although what the longer term need may be is difficult to determine.

The Food Bank did implement a process to assess need last year, but

Tim added in the face of COVID-19 they are going to look at that policy again.

At this time though, Tim said, “we will serve people in need,” adding “. . . these are difficult times right now.”

growing need the Food Bank does need food on their shelves.

At present Tim said he anticipates enough food to get through next week, but the impact of COVID-19, and how long the situation persists will put pressures on supplies.

“We don’t know what’s next,” he said.

People wanting to help can make cash donations, which Tim said will allow the Food Bank to re-stock on items in shortest supply.

And, of course canned goods are always welcome.

“One, or two cans, they all help out,” said Tim. The Food Bank and Family Services are located at 78 South Front Street, Yorkton in the back section of Parkland Community Church.

Canora Skating Club’s tribute to summer Courtesy of Canora Courier The Canora Skating Club presented its annual carnival featuring “Blades of Summer” on March 15 at the Canora Civic Centre.

Close to 150 people of all ages took in the tribute to summer, said Heather Chabun, Club president.

Skaters who performed in groups were: Paisley Wolkowski, Rhianna Stefanyshyn and Madison Dutchak (School’s Out for Summer (opening number) and Fishin’ in the Dark); Jett Olynyk. Courtney Pozniak and Charlie Sleeva (Teddy Bear Picnic, The Best Sandcastle); Maya Knight, Kaydence Goulet, Connor Pozniak and Ashton Lamb (Steal My Sunshine, C’mon and Swim); Jael Norberg, Halen Scharfenberg, Emma Knight, Lilly Frost and Maycee Jucaban (Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows, I Love a Rainy Night); Kenzee Kopelchuk, Mya Dutchak and Rachel Mentanko (Feels Like Summer, Pocket Full of Sunshine); Natalie St. Mars, Mahra Collingridge, Isabelle Chabun, Rori Love and Heidi Mentanko (Walking on Sunshine); Erika Sweeney, Callie Sznerch, Jania Predinchuk and Ava Love (Summer)

Heather Chabun said this year’s carnival was orchestrated by Carmen Wolkowski. She played a large role in arranging costumes, but she had plenty of help from other skater moms.

“All the groups had a leader that organized the costumes for their group,” said Chabun. “That included lots of connections to other dance moms in our community for borrowing or rounding up extras as needed. So this year each group had a mom that put everything together, which meant no one person was responsible for everything” In addition to Chabun, other members of the

Skating Club executive are Nathan Dutchak, vicepresident and Lauren Mentanko, secretary.

The program for the Carnival originally included guest skaters from other communities, but those plans were cancelled due to concerns regarding COVID-19.

For the finale, all skaters came together to skate to Bye Bye Summer, joined by their coach, Leona Kitchen.

Kennedy Back in Time on ice well attended Courtesy of The Kipling Citizen Saturday night saw the return of the annual skating Carnival for the Kennedy Skating Club.

This is made possible by a group of volunteers drawn from the families of the skating students.

The club has 27 skaters of varying abilities from Wawota, Kennedy, Kipling, and Langbank, who are coached by Katy Soroka, who does a great job keeping the students interested and engaged. Synchro coach is Leanne Sorenson.

The evening started with a supper that was very well attended, and at times it seemed there was standing room only. Most of the people who ate stayed for the Carnival, where they enjoyed a very well put together show with very talented youngsters showing off what they have learned so far. The show’s theme was ‘Back in Time’ where each group skated to a tune from a different

era, ranging from the 1930s right up to the 2010s.

The routine to kick it all off with a special performance by ‘Katy’s Cougars,’ comprising of the Golden Girls theme danced to by some of the moms. A very impressive start to what was to be a spectacular evening.

It would be impossible to say what the highlight of the evening was, but it has to be said that the cutest display was from the youngest group of skaters who hit the ice to the tune of ‘Born to be Wild.’

South East Firecrackers put on a fabulous synchronized routine for the crowd. Skaters includ-

ed Julia Houff, Morgan Debenham, William Husband, Clara Houff, Shaelyn Tripp, Kaitlyn Cameron, Ashlyn Dovell and Mia Wyporowich.

Guest skater Jaycee Lemieux performed a solo.

Performing solo performances included Clara Houff, Mia Wyporowich, Ashlyn Dovell and Morgan Debenham.

Duet performers included Macey Hall and Hazel Batters, Ana Kuhn and Julia Houff, Lilli Husband and William Husband, Kaitlyn Cameron and Katy Soroka, Josey Hanson and Kaleena Strnad.

Other performers

included: Sybil Brickley, Abilene Hanson, Haley Debenham, Gabriel Moloney, Catherine Moloney, Zane Lowe, Alex Jewell, Jentry Hanson, Kayleigh Ludick, Kaitlyn Stender, Piper Bourhis, Chloe George, Olivia Byrnell and Shayla Byrnell.

Between the door, raffle table and supper the Kennedy Skating Club estimates they made over $2500 at this year’s ice show.

We look forward to seeing what the club comes up with for next year’s Carnival. Whatever it is, it will surely be a very entertaining show.

Some outdoor education for Langenburg family

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer For one family near Langenburg having their three boys’ home from school because of COVID19 is being seen as an opportunity for education of a different sort.

“It’s essential during these times that people are doing and learning other things,” said mother Kristy Clay.

“Our boys, (Kaleb, Kolby and Kolton), are learning to cut wood, make fire, and to build a teepee for shelter.”

Kristy Clay added she plans to eventually include some education on growing plants, and similar life skills.

In addition, they have set up desks in the bush where the family can talk about survival and what they can do with the amenities around them, and on the farm.

EDITORIAL

Trudeau handling situation better than expected Overall, I have to give Justin Trudeau a better than expected grade on how he’s handling the coronavirus pandemic. I won’t say he’s passed with flying colors but I won’t say he’s been a disaster either. Sure he has done some dumb things that are typical of JT such as running inside to get his jacket during one of his press briefings or forgetting he had his earphones in during another one of his public appearances.

But, that’s always going to be him. It’s small potatoes, no point damning for it. I would say provincial leaders from coast to coast have been strong in their positions and Trudeau has piggy backed on that, but there is nothing wrong with that either. At least, for the most part, everyone

is on the same page.

That’s more than I can say about the United States, where you have people so pitted in with their politics that they will do the exact opposite to what Donald Trump suggests just because they don’t like him. I’m glad we aren’t doing that in Canada. American people are going to pay a big price because you have a President who isn’t handling things well, partially due to the fact so many in the media are working against him and putting out contrasting information and also in part because Trump isn’t going to make the right decisions every time he speaks. Therefore the appearance to many is that Trump has done nothing correct at all. Don’t forget though, he was one of

MIKE STACKHOUSE mikestackhouse@hotmail.com

Stackhouse Soapbox the first world leader’s to ban flights from China and he got raked over the coals for that. No one leader is batting 1.000 on this. We’ve never seen this before and I hope to never see it again (although that’s wishful thinking). Trump is childish for calling it the China Virus (now is not the time for that pettiness) and the media is extra childish for focusing on politically correct subjects as opposed to

just informing the public on what to do in order to stay safe and healthy. They have a real disaster down there and there is no doubt in my mind Canada comes out of this a lot quicker than the United States.

Just as I think different parts of the world are going to come out of this a lot quicker than others, I also think even within Canada we are going to see certain provinces emerge quicker than others. I have optimistic hopes for Manitoba and Saskatchewan, in particular, because we seem to be listening to our leaders and also because we already social distance in everyday life because we have no use for heavy transit systems nor do we have downtowns that are clogged with people walking shoulder to shoulder all day long. Our airports are also less busy and don’t have as many Chinese and European travelers passing through like other locations. How we decide to ease the restrictions will be crucial. Is it possible Saskatchewan and Manitoba will have to wait for places like Ontario, BC, and Quebec to catch up on flattening the curve? I hope not, but it wouldn’t surprise me because once you tell those of us on the prairies that we can get

back to some form of normalcy, other places will be jealous and will stop practicing the social distancing.

Either way, I don’t know how you can restore air travel in the near future.

I chuckle when I hear my sports friends talk about when to resume the NHL, Major League Baseball, etc. I think we are going to go a good 12 months without any professional sports. How can you fly them all over North America when the biggest risk of a flare up with this virus is based on airport traffic?

When this is over, and it will be over within weeks if we all do our part, those of us who have been passive in allowing the left to take over society need to get off our duffs and be a lot more outspoken and willing to fight for our freedoms.

In Canada, this means a stronger border and a total shutdown of immigration.

The single biggest reason for social distancing during this virus is because the health system can’t withstand the pressure. If that’s truly the case, then it means we are full in Canada as far as population is concerned and we need to focus on ending hallway medicine through investing smarter in our healthcare. Manufacturing has to come back to our country and we need to support those companies who are willing to invest in Canada. Yes, it will cost more but relying on China for cheaper products has come at an awful heavy price. Finally, I think we need to really push back against the climate change radicals. Where would we

be today if we didn’t have fossil fuels? It’s, literally, the only thing keeping this country running.

Canada can be a very self-sustaining country if we want it to be. It’s time.

China is not our friend.

Never has been, never will be. They are what the Soviet Union used to be. Cozying up to them does nothing but make them stronger. This virus is their fault. Plain and simple. They launched it, whether on purpose or not can be debated but it is their fault. We don’t have to retaliate through retribution but rather through just waking up as a nation and being more proud and more self sufficient. The time has arrived.

RM OF LIVINGSTON

Courtesy of Preeceville Progress Inspired by his daughter, Naden Parkin released his first children’s book The Girl Who Was Brave Enough. Parkin grew up and attended school in Preeceville. His father Dale Parkin and step mom Donna still reside on a farm on the outskirts of Preeceville.

Parkin works as a salesman for exploratory drilling equipment across Northern B.C. and Yukon, and previously worked in the Alberta oil patch in Grand Prairie. The family moved to Williams Lake, B.C. in March 2019, where his wife Angela’s family resides.

Previously, Parkin had written and selfpublished a book in 2014 called A Relationship with Truth: Poem and Verse Born in the Canadian Oil Patch.

A collection of poetry he wrote while working in

Alberta, it gave him his first taste of publishing his work and selling his books to Chapters and Coles in Northern Alberta and Saskatchewan.

The book, The Girl Who Was Brave Enough was released in February and is about a little girl who lives in an ordinary house who, one day, goes on walks with her dad.

They see some sailors and the little girl tells her father that she’ll never be brave enough to sail the ocean, to which he replies “if those sailors can be brave enough, you can be brave enough.� Likewise, he gives her the same encouragement after they see some construction workers, shipbuilders and more.

When she grows older the girl learns to sail and takes to the open ocean, only to be wrecked on a tropical island, Parkin said. While she’s afraid at first, she remembers the

Naden Parkin, formerly of Preeceville, posed for a photograph with Hadley Parkin, his three-year-old daughter who inspired his latest children’s book, The Girl Who Was Brave Enough. words of her father and uses a sailor’s bravery, a construction worker’s strength and a shipbuilder’s ingenuity to not only survive but thrive. Along the way she meets a tiger, sings with the birds and eats with some monkeys before fixing her boat and returning home. “I guess the theme is self-growth and believing in yourself,�

Parkin said. “Realizing your own potential.�

It was inspired by Parkin’s young daughter, three-year-old, Hadley Parkin. Parkin began thinking of his own mortality and he felt a desire to write her a letter in the event something should happen to him. The letter morphed into a story for her and his wife. “When I started writing the letter it just didn’t seem right,� said Parkin, “After some advice from others, I decided to change the format into a book setting.

The lessons I wanted to leave my daughter were somewhat lost in the letter but the story was a perfect simple way that she could relate to. The original plan was to create an heirloom for her but it has gone further than we could ever hoped.�

Shortly thereafter they found themselves an illustrator in Cortney Warr who crafted a ser-

ies of illustrations to go along with the story which Parkin describes as just wonderful to look at. “Our goal was to make a beautiful family heirloom and we did 200 copies and we sold them in a month,� Parkin said. “It’s just a really simple, positive story with beautiful artwork,� Parkin said, adding that he encourages other aspiring writers to consider self-publishing themselves.

Parkin has always loved to write as a young child but that interest grew in his high school years. In his high school creative 20 writing class he had created a book of a collection of poems. From that project he realized that he enjoyed writing and sharing his thoughts with others. “For me writing has been the most rewarding thing I have ever done. It gives me a certain sense of peace and accomplishment. This book was written for my daughter and is about giving a message of encouragement,� he said.

At the end of the book his thoughts are echoed with the words, “When storms in life lead you astray and you are scared, cold, and alone be brave, be clever, and you will find your way back home.�

AG OUTLOOK 2020 Tale of a modern farmer

By Kaitlyn McMurphy At 8 am on Monday you won’t find the next generation of ranchers and farmers having coffee in the shop, discuss-

ing the tasks that need to be completed for the week ahead. Instead, they’re sitting in office desks, filling out paper work and hosting conference calls.

These creatures can be classified as, “Millennial Farmers”.

We aren’t much different than the generation that precedes us.

Our passion for agriculture, livestock and land pulses through our veins from an early age.

We have a work ethic that wakes us up in the early hours of the morning and keeps us going late into the night.

We have the patience and nurture to sit through the night with a newborn calf warming and feeding it only to witness it take its last breath 12 hours later.

Then try all over again with the next one, maybe this one we can save.

The end game? The goal at the end of it all?

To pass it all on to the next generation, in even better shape than it was passed on to us.

But there is a difference this go around.

This time we aren’t going to make a living off the land. Instead, we are going to make a living off the farm.

We will work our 8-5 jobs with the same renowned work ethic that pushes us to feed

the cows at 6:30, head to work and then check on things when we get home, finishing up the evening chores.

On weekends we will do the farm work we couldn’t do during the week. Vacation leave looks like 3 weeks of haying in July.

Calving season is a leave of absence without pay to calve out 150 cows.

And this time, we aren’t trusted by our neighbour.

They promote meat-

less Monday and vegan leather.

They worry that cattle grazing emit too much carbon dioxide, not comprehending that they sequester much more than they produce.

But don’t pull out the violin for us just yet.

Although we face new challenges than the ranchers and farmers that came before us, we are the lucky few.

We are the ones who still had farms and ranches to go back to.

We are the ones that

get to watch our seedlings grow and harvest our hard work.

We are the ones who got to stay connected to the land and know the feeling of complete silence as the warm sun sets in the evening.

We are the ones who get to tend to the livestock and conserve the land.

We are the lucky few that live a wholesome and fulfilling life.

We are the farmers and ranchers of tomorrow.

New tool to diagnose TB in bison To help protect Canada’s cattle and bison and maintain the country’s bovine tuberculosis (TB)-free status, scientists from University of Saskatchewan’s (USask) Vaccine and Infectious Disease OrganizationInternational Vaccine Centre (VIDO-InterVac) and Parks Canada are conducting trials in bison of several diagnostic tools, including the innovative Actiphage® blood test developed by the diagnostics company PBD Biotech.

Actiphage® is a rapid and accurate test for detecting in a blood sample even very low levels of mycobacteria, the bacteria that causes TB. The results are available within hours, enabling early detection and improved disease management. The innovative blood test has been successfully tested in humans and 20 species of animals, but never

before in bison.

While a successful Canadian bovine TB control program has been in place since 1924, bison herds in Wood Buffalo National Park, which straddles the Alberta-Northwest Territories border, include TB-infected animals. Parks Canada, a recognized leader in conservation, is responsible under the Species at Risk Act for the protection and recovery of listed species found in national parks such as the bison.

Improved TB diagnosis could support management of the infected animals, for which there are currently few options, Plains bison in Riding Mountain National Park. and reduce the preva- (Credit: Parks Canada)* lence of the disease over time. benchmarking will pro- worldwide, and this trial The team will experi- vide useful insights into will provide scientific mentally infect bison the progression of the data that has the potenin VIDO-InterVac’s con- disease and reliability of tial to improve detection tainment Level 3 facility the tests in bison. and control of a disease and test them at various “Detecting tubercu- that can be devastating time points using sever- losis in livestock and to the agricultural indusal diagnostic tools. This wild animals is an issue try,” said VIDO-InterVac

Director Volker Gerdts.

“It’s another example of how our state-of-theart containment Level 3 facility is helping to provide solutions to infectious disease challenges on a world-wide scale.”

The team also plans to test whether vaccines proven effective in cattle can protect bison.

Scientists will study the immune response to these vaccines and use the diagnostic tools and culture to determine the effectiveness of the vaccines in bison.

Actiphage® is one of the diagnostic tests included in this trial. An important feature of this test is its ability to detect viable mycobacteria in a blood sample. In addition, it is able to differentiate between animals that are vaccinated and those that are infected.

This creates the potential to vaccinate animals to protect them from the disease.

Test developers PBD Biotech first showcased their novel technology to organizations in the region through the 2017 Saskatoon Regional Economic Development Authority’s Agriculture Technology HARVEST Program. The relationships formed have been so fruitful that the company has chosen the province for its first international subsidiary office.

“Canada is the first place to try to validate the Actiphage® test in bison,” said Luis Martin of PBD Biotech, a United Kingdom company with a new Canadian subsidiary in Saskatoon.

The study will help demonstrate—pending regulatory approval— that Actiphage® may be used with wild animals and in zoos for disease management.

Funding for the trial is provided in part by VIDO-InterVac and Parks Canada.

Using 3D imaging in pulse research Dr. Chithra Karunakaran’s passion for agriculture has taken her around the world and helped her to grow an international agricultural imaging research community from Saskatoon.

Given that the Canadian Light Source (CLS) is situated on the University of Saskatchewan (USask) campus, renowned for agriculture, and surrounded by some of the finest farm land in the country, it’s little wonder it hasa developed a reputation for outstanding agriculture-related research. Location is only part of the story though; some credit has to go to an engineer determined

to apply advanced synchrotron techniques to the study of what we grow and what we eat.

The view from Agriculture Science Manager Dr. Chithra Karunakaran’s office window is dominated by the USask College of Agriculture and Bioresources, which also owns the research greenhouse located across the street from the CLS. Both are part of what she termed “the right ecosystem” needed to expand agriculture research at the facility, a project she has devoted herself to since she arrived in Saskatoon. The key has been adapting beamline techniques to

serve the needs of plant, soil and food scientists.

Born and raised in the largely rural Kanyakumari district of India, on the southernmost tip of the country, Karunakaran earned a degree in agricultural engineering from Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. Encouraged by one of her teachers to study abroad, specifically in Canada, she did a master’s degree in grain storage at the University of Manitoba and then a PhD focused on developing digital applications for evaluating seed quality.

Seeking still more knowledge about 3D imaging, she joined the neurology depart-

ment at the University of California to explore MRI technology and its potential applications in agriculture. “MRI was much more advanced in the medical field than in the agriculture space so to learn everything I could, I substituted brains for seeds,” said Karunakaran.

With her extensive background in imaging, Karunakaran left California for a scientist position at the CLS, a rare appointment for an engineer. Noting a lack of agriculture research being done at the facility but encouraged to do her own curiosity research, she experimented with the soft X-ray spec-

troscopy beamline to image plant samples. It was a novel use for the machine “but I’ve never been afraid to put things in the instruments.” She also spent a good deal of time simply observing.

“I watched the techniques used by other scientists from different countries, different backgrounds and different disciplines, and always thought about how they could be transferred to ag. Everyone was very friendly and didn’t mind me asking, “How could I use the technique you’re using on a battery to look at a leaf?’”

Karunakaran and her colleagues did a number of proof-of-concept experiments on various beamlines that complemented her X-ray spectroscopy research before setting out to sell the techniques to agriculture researchers, first at USask and then further afield. “It was about raising awareness of our capabilities to image everything from a single cell to a whole plant.”

Their efforts paid off. In 2017, agriculture joined health, the environment and advanced materials as a strategic science area for the CLS and today, about fifteen percent of projects carried out in

the facility relate to soil science, plant science, food processing and animal feed. However, Karunakaran believes there is still untapped potential.

“We do a lot of static samples but there are many opportunities for dynamic analyses in food processing or production.” For example, they can image water or nutrients moving though plants or observe bubbles developing in bread in real time.

Building a community of agricultural CLS clients has taken time and support as they acquire knowledge and competence on the machine, she said, “but you can see we’ve done a good job. We listen to the community, learn what their research problems are and determine how we can solve them together. We don’t come up with projects ourselves; our job is to constantly improve the technology to help researchers.”

This story was shared in honour of World Pulses Day, which recognizes the importance of pulses (chickpeas, dry beans, lentils, dry peas and lupins among others) as a global food. The Canadian Light Source has been used to study pulses.

$8.1 million investment in livestock research Federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food MaireClaude Bibeau and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit announced nearly $8.1 million in funding under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership for 28 livestock and forage-related research projects through Saskatchewan’s A g r i c u l t u r e Development Fund (ADF). This includes $4.9 million in funding for 27 livestock and foragerelated research projects and $3.2 million in operational funding for the Livestock and Forage Centre of Excellence.

The ADF is supported through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a five-year, $388 million investment in strategic initiatives for Saskatchewan agriculture by the federal and

provincial governments.

“Big investments in science and research like this make a real difference in the lives of ranchers and producers,” Bibeau said. “It creates a pipeline of new tools and practices that give our producers a competitive edge in the market.

We are very excited to be partnering with the Province and industry groups on these many initiatives, which ultimately help grow our econ-

omy and support thriving rural communities.”

“Research that impacts farm-level decisions, such as water quality, nutrition and animal care, can result in tangible benefits for the Saskatchewan herd as whole,” Marit said.

“We’re making strategic investments in research that will help producers and agri-businesses reach the targets for 2030 that are laid out in Saskatchewan’s growth

plan. The results of this year’s projects will support a sustainable, strong and growing livestock sector.”

Support from the ADF is awarded on a competitive basis to projects that create future growth opportunities and enhance the competitiveness of the industry.

“The partnership that this research funding represents is an important part of Saskatchewan agricul-

ture,” Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association Chair Rick Toney said. “Having governments that will invest in research along with industry groups like the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association is a key part of growing our cattle receipts and staying competitive in this global business. We appreciate this partnership and the focus the government has on agriculture as a major part of the provincial economy and way of life.”

The ADF projects supported this year will explore a variety of areas of interest to producers, including: strategies to address mineral nutrition in the face of poor water quality, developing new and improved forages, and developing diagnostics supports.

Projects will also examine cutting edge comput-

Budget just part of financial management

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It’s important to make sure you get as much ‘life from your money’ as is reasonable.

That was the basis of a presentation by Stephanie HolmesWinton the CEO and founder of CacheFlo Inc., a software company that builds behaviour-based spending management applications for financial professionals & institutions to use with their clients when she spoke in Yorkton last week.

H o l m e s - Wi n t o n ’s presentation was part of the FCC Young Farmer Summit, and looked at how people can manage their money in ways that work.

And people do need to manage their money. It’s important to make sure you get as much ‘life from your money’ as is reasonable.

Holmes-Winton noted a payroll survey from 2019 that 43 per cent of people would have trouble meeting their bills even after only one week without their paycheque.

Statistically 31 per cent don’t have enough to pay bills every month, added Holmes-Winton, and 47 per cent think

they’d be in trouble if interest rates increased.

“Fifty-three per cent of Canadians live paycheque to paycheque,” said Holmes-Winton.

These realities create pressure on people.

“Eighty-eight per cent admit to spending as many as 130 hours every year thinking about their personal finances while at work,” said HolmesWinton.

That impacts job performance.

“What can you get done on your farm in 130 hours?” asked HolmesWinton.

If an operation has 10 workers that is 1300 hours “of productivity you’re losing every single year,” she said.

The first step is knowing just what sort of shape your finances are in. A good measure to begin with is to know how much per dollar earned we owe.

“It’s a really important number we should know,” said HolmesWinton, adding on average it’s about $1.78. The number tends to be higher for young people who are taking on more debt.

The next step many take is to set budgets, but Holmes-Winton said

they are often ineffective because people have a difficult time following something because budgets are often seen as controlling, that people must sacrifice, feel restricted and unhappy.

“The focus is on what I can’t have and have to give up,” said HolmesWinton.

Those elements can lead to stress, and stress can impact how we deal with our money.

“The more stressed we are the more we tend to make bad decisions,” offered Holmes-Winton.

That is not to say a budget can’t be a tool.

Holmes-Winton said, “Budgets with a beginning and end ... a timeboxed plan ... work well,” for example a renovation project, or vacation plan.

But you do need to track spending in a way that goes beyond keeping it in your head.

“Keeping track of money in our heads is very, very difficult,” said Holmes-Winton, adding it gets “harder with all the distractions” we have.

Some things, such as rent, mortgages and gas have a low risk of overspending on because they tend to be rather fixed costs, said Holmes-

Winton.

Others, such as eating out, the grocery cart, daily expenses, have greater risk of overspending.

It helps too to manage the debt one takes on, said Holmes-Winton.

For example there is more to borrowing than interest rates. The term of the debt influences the

end cost to a person in a greater way.

“When you borrow don’t ask about rates, ask about cost,” said HolmesWinton.

Another is to “limit debt to as few accounts as possible,” she said, adding of course it’s a good idea “to pay the principle down as quickly as possible.”

Keeping cattle from rivers is good management The site of a bunch of cattle wading in the water of the Assiniboine river on a hot summer’s day isn’t exactly the kind of image most ranchers want to portray when it comes to good agri-environmental stewardship on their farm. Yet, such sites are far more common along creeks, streams, and rivers in the Assiniboine watershed than one may think. Ranchers will sometimes use waterways not only as a water source for their cattle, but also as a natural fence for their adjacent pasture. Such a practice has its share of risks from an animal health and safety perspective, as cattle may be required to navigate

muddy, sloped banks to access the water. In addition, the dry conditions we’ve been experiencing the past couple years has meant many of these creeks and streams, or even rivers, that in the past were deep enough to deter cattle from crossing over into the neighboring land, have now dried up to the point where many ranchers are having to deal with cattle “testing the water” and getting out of pasture.

From an environmental perspective, cattle having direct access to surface water increases the risk of streambank erosion, degrades the vegetation along the bank, and increases the likelihood

that nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in manure will get into the water, which can lead to increased algal blooms in downstream waterbodies such as Lake of the Prairies.

Luck ily, t he Assiniboine Watershed Stewardship Association (AWSA) is working to make such sites a thing of the past. The non-profit water stewardship group out of Yorkton, SK implements a variety of projects and programming aimed at protecting the health of the watershed that the residents of eastcentral Saskatchewan call home. Last year the AWSA was successful in a proposal to WWF’s Loblaw

Water Fund to receive grant funding to provide an incentive for ranchers to eliminate direct access of their cattle to creeks, streams and rivers through cost-shared funding for exclusion fencing and remote off-site watering systems. In addition, the projects aimed to mitigate the damage caused to the riparian areas along these waterways through the provision of tree and shrub establishment by the AWSA. Two ranchers located next to the Assiniboine River, north-west of Kamsack, were chosen to receive 2/3 cost-shared funding to implement

their projects. The two pastures, located directly across from each other on opposite sides of the river, both previously used the river as the watering source for the cattle. With funding assistance from the AWSA, one rancher installed 0.63 miles of permanent 3-strand barbed wire fencing and purchased a portable wagon and solar-powered float pump watering system that he’ll use as his water source for the summer grazing he does on this particular pasture.

His neighbor across the river used the same type of fence to exclude 1.01 miles of the river from direct access by his cattle.

He developed a shallowwell and pipeline water system that will serve as the new water source for both summer grazing and wintering of his cattle.

The AWSA staff finished off the projects by planting over 400 Tristis poplar and Golden willows along the riverbank of the two sites in order to help bind the soil and prevent future erosion.

The AWSA would like to acknowledge the financial support from WWF’s Loblaw Water Fund for making these projects possible and thanks each of the ranchers for doing their part to be good stewards of the watershed.

A look at a local operation through their eyes

By Joanne Neilson At Neilson Cattle Company, we look forward to calving time, more than any other time of year. We have a purebred Charolais herd of about 120 cows and a commercial herd of about 135 cows. Throw in our two-year-old sale bulls, pens of developing purebred heifers and yearling purebred bulls, and the chore list gets plenty long.

Amidst all this we are preparing for our on farm bull sale to be held March 23.

For bull sale info check Neilson Cattle Company out on Facebook.

Our commercial cows are mainly black or red Angus influence. They start calving in mid-April along with our purebreds. We do not keep replacements from the commercial cows as we use a Charolais bull for a terminal cross. This cross gives us the benefits of hybrid vigour: a robust calf, more pounds at weaning, and desired calves at the auction barn. The buckskin or silver calf, a

cross between Charolais bulls and our commercial cows will top the market.

The main cow herds winter and calve on pasture. There is a lot of benefit to keeping cows out in the pastures rather than concentrating them in a small area and it fits well with the idea of regenerative agriculture. To do this however, a dependable winter water supply is necessary. One of our best investments is a remote solar water system with wind power backup.

All calves get selenium and vitamin AD shots, a CCIA tag, and a dangle tag with its ID and dam’s ID. The purebred calves also get weighed. This is probably why you might see Mike at PAC. Mike actually lifts each calf in a sling suspended from a weigh scale. It is important to check cow/calf pairs daily to make sure all is well.

Calving season runs right through June. By July we look forward to turning out the cows with Charolais bulls onto green grass.

New calves are a sign of spring.

Baking the perfect loaf of bread Scientists from the University of Manitoba (UM) used the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) to analyze the bubbles in dough and help create healthier bread.

Ever since early humans discovered how to grind grain, the art of breadmaking has flourished and today bread is the most widely consumed food in the world. The apron has now been replaced by the lab coat as scientists seek to understand the intricacies of creating healthier, more consistent commercial bread products that meet changing consumer demands.

“Breadmaking is part art and part science,” said Dr. Filiz Koksel, an assistant professor of food and

nutritional sciences at UM. The art stems from the bakers’ deft touch with dough, but the science is “about what’s happening with ingredients.”

Along with a team of colleagues, Koksel used the CLS synchrotron to explore how a call for reduced sodium in bakery products affects the billions of tiny bubbles that help make bread such an appealing food. Their work was recently published Food Research International.

Her research stems from Health Canada recommendations that Canadians reduce the amount of sodium in their diets, “and among all foods, bread and bread products contribute about 30 per cent of this excess consumption,” she said.

Building on the PhD work of Dr. Xinyang Sun of Nanjing University of Finance and Economics in China, Koksel’s team, which included UM colleague Dr. Martin Scanlon and Dr. Michael Nickerson from USask, set out “to see if it’s easy to reduce sodium and to identify processing challenges related to using less salt.”

The key to commercially produced bread is the crumb or texture that is created by an even distribution of uniform-sized bubbles throughout the dough, Koksel explained.

Consumers of commercial breads like consistency, meaning no big holes. In contrast, bakers of artisan breads like French baguettes strive for bubbles of varying size.

Bubbles are an important consideration given

“bread can be up to 80 per cent air by volume.”

At the CLS, the researchers prepared simple non-yeast doughs to assess how varying the salt content affects bubble formation and dough-handling properties. They created a wide range of samples using two different wheat cultivars popular in bread making, various water and salt contents, and a number of doughmixing times. Then, X-ray microtomography recorded real-time changes in the bubble size and distribution in the samples.

Using the non-destructive X-ray technique was critical to the study, said Koksel, because the delicate bubble structures would be destroyed if the samples were cut open for observation.

The scientists found

that reduced salt created a stickier dough, which has implications in large-scale processing when dough sticks to machinery. There were also fewer bubbles in the dough samples prepared using stronger wheat cultivars, higher water contents and shorter mixing times.

In the end, all the variables tested require adjustment when salt is reduced to ensure a goodquality non-yeast lowsodium bread, but using the optimal mixing time was of particular interest.

“During mixing, three critically important tasks are taking place,” said Koksel. “First, mixing blends and hydrates the ingredients. It’s also critical to developing gluten proteins in the wheat, and to incorporating air bubbles into the dough.

Mixing also affects the dough handling properties. Reducing sodium can end with a good result if water, the wheat cultivar and mixing are all optimized.”

Additional changes to bread formulations such as increasing fiber or reducing other additives will require similar evaluations, she said, “because with each change we’re facing new processing and product quality challenges.”

This research had joint funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) as well as investment from the Saskatchewan Agricultural Development Fund.

There are buffers to market volatility

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Farm commodity markets may be facing a time of volatility based on a number of factors, but there are positives for Canadians farmers too.

Two positives at present are the Canadian dollar and interest rates, offered Craig Klemmer, Principal Agricultural Economist at Farm Credit Canada, speaking at the FCC Young Farmer Summit in Yorkton last week.

Klemmer did note, and the Summit was pre-the major announcements regarding COVID-19 in this country, that Canada’s gross domestic product (GDP) is slowing, with a likelihood of negative growth in the second quarter of 2020.

“The reality is Canada’s economy is slowing. The world economy is slowing,” he said.

The slowing was likely to be made worse by the day’s announcement that COVID-19 was a pandemic.

On the farm side, the rail blockages, while ended, left the system behind.

“It will take a while for the backlog to be cleared up,” offered Klemmer.

“ T h e reality is C a n a d a ’s economy is slowing.

The world economy is slowing.”

— Craig Klemmer The impact of lower oil prices plays on all commodities too, said Klemmer, adding the current “oil war is a battle of egos right now,” between Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Buffering the negatives are interest rates with a downward trend in 2020, with the biggest question being how low interest rates may go, said Klemmer.

“Right now interest rates are going to be favourable,” he said.

The combination of lower oil prices and lower interest rates leads to “a softening of the Canadian dollar,” said Klemmer.

With oil being Canada’s biggest export “we’re expecting the Canadian dollar to trend lower,” he continued.

The softening of the Canadian dollar “really is a good thing for the agriculture sector,” said Klemmer, adding it makes Canadian exports more affordable to other countries.

CAFA learning event covers stress

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer It’s difficult to give advice if you don’t know what to say. The Parkland chapter of the Canadian Association of Farm Advisors (CAFA) has been hosting monthly learning events to learn and gain

insight into different topics, with the fourth Wednesday of every month featuring a different pair of topics by presenters.

The most recent CAFA Learning Event took place on Feb. 26, featuring two presentations. One was by Gerry Friesen, speaking about stressful encoun-

ters. The other was by Abe Toews with Beyond Wealth, talking about gift giving with the use of a foundation.

Denise Filipchuck with CAFA said that the goal of the event is to help the advisors help farmers, and that guides their selection of speakers and topics.

Their goal is not to find people in farm sales, but to address topics that farmers will be asking about and dealing with on a regular basis.

Friesen, for example, talked about stressful encounters. He said that the CAFA members are frontline staff, and are going to deal with a lot of people who are in the middle of a stressful situation.

“Our clients are feeling a ton of stress these days.

It’s been difficult in agriculture and so very often our clients are feeling stressors, and often the first people who go out to see them are ones that are going to feel the brunt of that frustration and all of the stuff they’re going through.”

Part of the presentation involved what to do when in the middle of those stressful encounters, as well as what they can do to manage the stress later.

SHARPE’S

“I have people come to me and tell me how important that is... Often frontline workers don’t realize what exactly they’re going through. It’s no different from our clients. I mean, our clients get hit by the storm as I say and so they feel lost, they feel confused, just like was when I was farming. Then we get advisors going out to meet with them, and they get hit by the storm. So it’s an ongoing issue.

Angus Vincent goes back to his roots

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Local musician Angus Vincent is going back to his roots. Now preparing his next album, Vincent has released two singles from the upcoming project.

The first single is going back to Vincent’s roots as a songwriter. It is Real Love, which is one of the first songs that Vincent ever wrote.

“I felt that one needed to be recorded and sent out there.”

The second, and most recent is Pasiko, which reaches back to his childhood and he sings in Plains Cree. He said that he wanted to celebrate the language because 2019 was the year of the language, though he admits he was a little late. A fluent Plains Cree speaker, Vincent wanted to keep his language alive for his two

Pasiko, Angus Vincent’s latest single. children.

“I try to speak as much Cree as I can to them, just to pass that language down. A lot of folks my age who grew up with me, they weren’t blessed with being raised by your grandma where your grandma’s first language was Cree... I call it a gift now, because I’m one of the very fortunate ones who is able to carry on the language.”

The song itself is part English and part Plains Cree, telling a story of his grandmother and letting listeners in to a language

they might not be very familiar with and teach a bit of Cree.

“Pasiko means get up, rise up. How I got that was from my grandmother, who was so proud of my auntie, who was the first one to graduate in 1989, way back when. She always pushed her message about finishing your education and more doors will open to you, and you’ll have so many more opportunities...

Get up in the morning, get up when you’re feeling lazy, rise up and finish what you start is the message of the song.”

He’s a one-man operation right now, and Vincent said that he wants to get management to help book shows and get out more.

He said that being an independent artist is a lot of work, and he wants help to get out to more people and get his music to more people.

“The music creation

isn’t going to stop, I can tell you that. There are a lot of stories out there that need to be told. There is a lot of work, a lot of hustle, but that’s something I’m quite used to.”

While at home right now like everyone else, Vincent is using it to his advantage, sticking to his home studio and finishing off the album. He said the inspiration can come from many places, whether he is inspired by a story or comes up with a melody first and the lyrics can come later. Now in a creative groove, Vincent admits that there are times where it’s difficult to get up and pick up the pen to write.

But Vincent also recognizes that there’s power to music right now, and he wants to be part of that.

With artists taking to Facebook Live for concerts, to play music for people in their own homes,

Yorkton’s Angus Vincent is busy getting his new album ready. he is considering doing that himself.

Photographer supports food bank in interesting way Jackie Herman is the photographer behind Simple Shots by Jackie.

Recently Herman was pursuing social media and came upon a photographer in the United States

YRHS renovation plans in Provincial budget

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer One of the major items in the 2020-21 Provincial Budget for Yorkton was $750,000 towards planning for renovations at Yorkton Regional High School.

Quentin Robertson, Director of Education, explained that the money will be used to get the architectural and engineering plans done, which has already started as part of the annual capital application process. They have been applying for this project for twelve years.

“We are very thankful to our local MLAs, Warren Kaeding, Greg Ottenbreit and Terry Dennis, along with the board of Education for advocating on our behalf. A big thank you goes to our Ministry of Education and our provincial government for seeing the need, the leadership

offered by Rob Currie, our deputy Minister of Education and his team, and Gord Wyant, the Deputy Premier and our Ministry of Education.”

They expect the project itself to be in the neighborhood of $25-30 million, and to begin in 2021.

The renovation project will be focused ‘behind the scenes’ aspects of the facility Robertson explained, with major renovations to heating and ventilation systems, window replacement, roofing replacement, fire-suppression improvements, sprinkler systems, as well as asbestos abatement.

“It’s a very large facility.

The $25-30 million is basically taking care of those non-cosmetic items.”

At the end of the day, the objective behind the renovations is the continued safety of students and staff at YRHS, Robertson said.

tancing you can’t get too close,” she explained.

With time on her hands, and finding her photography a way to cope with the stresses society is facing at present, Herman borrowed the idea.

Herman went online and offered to do the same thing, if the family would in-turn make an online

monetary donation to the local food bank.

“It’s a quick five-minute session,” said Herman, but she does hope it is something of a distraction from what’s going on for the families.

By making the donation to the food bank online Herman said she and the families can

again respect the need to social distance, with no exchange of food products to be delivered.

Herman planned to do the photo shoots Monday, and quickly found herself booked solid for the day with 30 families taking up the online offer.

“It’s a great way to document what’s going

For Herman the effort is both a good deed for the food bank, and one she will find cathartic.

One story of waiting for COVID results “Innocent until proven guilty” In a court of law in Canada, this is our reality. It is the same in many countries around the world. One is presumed innocent until proven otherwise.

Not so with the current pandemic, caused

by COVID-19. If you have a flu, you are effectively “guilty” until proven inno-

cent by the test results that will either release you from your prison of isolation or keep you from being able to go back out into the world.

This is Rhonda. I am going to attempt to chronicle a bit of my journey with this reality that is currently facing me.

Let’s backtrack a little.

Monday night, I knew that I was scheduled to go

back to work on Tuesday morning, after a leave of absence from work that had lasted about a month.

My muscles in my shoulders were really sore, but I often get sore muscles, so I followed my usual routineapplied Tiger Balm and went to bed early….8:30 p.m. to be precise.

I awoke at 1:34 am shivering so badly that my teeth were chattering, my

whole body hurt-both my muscles and my bones. I got out of bed and realized I had a headache toobut all I could think about was, ‘I need to warm up!’

Feeling cold for me is one of the most painful sensations that I experience.

Some feel horrible when they are too hot-not mecold is my enemy.

I retrieved an extra blanket, put extra clothes on and crawled back into bed. I was unsuccessful in falling back to sleep, but after an hour and a half, I finally warmed upbut then thought maybe I should take my temperature.

Sure enough-it was 100.7 F. Great. Realization time-I was not going back to work in the morning.

My temperature continued to climb to 101.1F. I felt like I had been hit by a Mack Truck, as the saying goes.

I decided to call the Emerg in Esterhazy. The nurse on duty asked me what my symptoms were and after relaying everything to her, she said to take 2 Tylenol, monitor my symptoms and see how I was in the morning. She also mentioned calling 811, if I became concerned.

I called 811 and they were surprised that my local hospital had given me that much information. They told me the same thing.

I told them that I had no Tylenol. The nurse told me to see if a neighbor or friend could bring some over to me.

It’s now 5:00 a.m. I decided to try and sleep for a bit. I woke up a few times, coughing, and then finally awoke again at 9:00 a.m. and felt a little better.

I messaged my neighbor, to see if she had Tylenol.

She did and brought and left it at my back door. My temperature had dropped already, so thankfully, I did not need to take any.

I then called my Doctor and she asked about my symptoms and told me to

not leave my home except to go to Emergency in Esterhazy at around 5 p.m. and they would do a swab for COVID-19. “Go straight home after your test and stay home until your results come back.”

No problem.

Fast forward to today, Friday, March 20, 2020.

I have been running a low grade fever since my fever went down on Tuesday, March 17, 2020.

I have experienced slight shortness of breath, but nothing overwhelming.

Today, shortness of breath continues, tiredness and more dry coughing than before.

People have kindly brought care packages to my back door and have kept me laughing with their funny texts and my friend’s little five-year old foster child asked me today, “Are you still alive?” Which caused both my friend and I to burst out laughing. “Yes, little one, I am still alive-this is not a recording.” Kids are the best when you need a good laugh. This 5 year old is also referring to the virus as, “the Karate virus”…so, as the Proverb says, “Laughter does good like a medicine”, and I have certainly had my fair share of laughter over the past few days.

I am also thankful to have 3 fur babies to keep me company! Social distancing is hard enough for someone like me, who hugs people all the time, but isolation from human contact has been the most challenging part of being isolated….and it’s only been three days. I cannot imagine being without human contact for any great length of time. So, as I await my test results, I am hoping that an elbow bump will be in my near future-at least its contact.

Until my next update, Thanks to all of you who are self-isolating and being a responsible citizen and an outstanding human being.

Stay safe!

Stay healthy!

PS I have great news – 30 minutes after I finished writing this, my doctor called to tell me that my test for COVID-19 came back NEGATIVE! Awesomeness-except she told me that because I still have another type of flu, that I should remain in isolation until I am no longer symptomatic.

So here’s to another day “in prison” albeit a really beautiful one – my home.
