Marieval Indian Residential School was operated by the Roman Catholic Church from 1899 to 1997, and was one of the last few residential schools to close in Saskatchewan.

Radar penetration of the 44,000 square metre site at the former Marieval Residential School have recorded 751 hits of potential interest.

Cowessess Chief, Catholic archdiocese confirm grave markers at cemetary site “destroyed” in 60s

By Larissa Kurz Glacier Media Cowessess First Nation shared the discovery of over 600 unmarked graves near the former site of the area’s residential school, with Chief Cadmus Delorme saying that headstones previously marking the graves had been removed by the Roman Catholic Church several decades ago.

“We didn’t remove these headstones.

Removing headstones is a crime in this country, and we are treating this like a crime scene,” said Delorme.

Marieval Indian Residential School was operated by the Roman Catholic Church from 1899 until 1981 when Cowessess First Nation took over. The school was officially closed in 1997, and the building controversially demolished in 1999.

The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Regina confirmed that in the 1960s, a priest serving in the region had “bull-

what we can to turn that apology into meaningful, concrete acts,” said Archbishop Don Bolen, in a letter to the current Cowessess Chief regarding the announcement.

The unmarked sites have since been discovered by Saskatchewan Polytechnic experts working with Cowessess First Nation, using ground-penetrating radar earlier this month.

Investigators noted a total of 751 hits at the Cowessess site, which amounts to at least 600 unconfirmed sites after a margin of error is taken into account.

“We can’t confirm if there is more than one [individual buried] under that hit,” said Delorme. “So we want to

During the recent press conference, Chief Cadmus Delorme of Cowessess First Nation asked the Canadian public to continue to support Indigenous people as more details about residential school sites are explored and exposed in the future. make sure, when we tell our story, that we’re not trying to make numbers sound bigger than they are.”

Other sites on Cowessess First Nation have been identified by oral knowledge as potential burial sites, said Delorme, as unbaptized babies and non-Catholic individuals would have been buried elsewhere.

Those who attended Marieval were likely from Treaty Two and Treaty Four territories, confirmed Delorme, which includes parts of southeastern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba.

at several other former residential school sites in Saskatchewan, including the site at Cowessess First Nation.

So far, 35 unmarked graves have been identified at Muscowequan Indian Residential School, with more expected to be found as exploration continues.

The remains of approximately 40 Indigenous children were also discovered on the grounds of the former Regina Industrial School in 2014, which had been sold to a private owner and only recently explored by researchers.

Okanese First Nation has also shared that unmarked burial sites from File Hills Indian Residential School are present on reservation

land, and the cemetery space used by the Battlefords Industrial School was notably unmarked in comparison to the portion dedicated to church clergy.

A representative from the Archdiocese of Regina said that often records of why grave markers were removed or omitted entirely are difficult to pinpoint, as these sites were operated independently by clergy members.

The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) has also identified other potential sites of former residential schools that should be investigated for unmarked burials, including St. Anthony’s, Beauval, Lebret and Guy Indian Residential Schools.

Experts have also noted that continued searches for unmarked burials may be difficult, as many former residential schools sites have been sold to private landowners or are now located underneath agricultural fields.

The National Truth and Reconciliation Committee said that an estimated 150,000 First Nations, Inuit and Métis children attended residential schools, with 20 residential school sites operating in Saskatchewan between the 1880s and 1990s.

Estimation shows that more than 4,000 children died while at these institutions, although experts say the true number is likely much higher due to inconsistent recordkeeping and a string of record destruction in the 1930s and 40s.

Cowessess planning to replace grave markers The community of Cowessess First Nation will not be leaving these graves unmarked, promised Delorme during the announcement.

The next steps, said Delorme, will be to consult known burial records and work to identify Continued on Page 5

USask’s VIDO announces positive Phase 1 results for COVAC-2 More volunteers needed for ongoing clinical trial Saskatoon – Today the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) announced positive interim results from their Phase 1 clinical trial for COVAC-2, VIDO’s COVID-19 subunit vaccine candidate.

The interim data from the study led by the Canadian Centre for Vaccinology (CCfV) demonstrates COVAC-2 is safe and well tolerated.

The most common general reaction reported

was a headache and the most notable local reaction was mild injection site pain. These reactions are common after most immunizations.

Importantly, even the lowest vaccine dose tested significantly increased the participants’ antibody levels, including neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2. Neutralizing antibodies are associated with protection.

“The data continues to demonstrate the safe-

ty of our subunit vaccine COVAC-2,” said Dr. Volker Gerdts, director and CEO of VIDO. “We are encouraged by the vaccine’s ability to generate a significant immune response, even at the lowest dose tested.”

COVAC-2 is a protein subunit vaccine. Subunit vaccines contain purified viral proteins that are not infectious, and the technology offers many advantages including a history of safety and ease of storage and

transport. The vaccine is formulated with Sepivac SWE™, an adjuvant developed by Seppic and the Vaccine Formulation Institute (VFI). An adjuvant is an ingredient that improves the immune response of a vaccine.

Participants continue to be recruited for the clinical trial at the CCfV in Halifax, and a new clinical trial site will also open in Saskatoon later this summer. If you are 18 years and older and have not been infected with COVID-19

or received an authorized COVID-19 vaccine and wish to volunteer, please contact the Clinical Trial Support Unit at ctsu@usask.ca or 306-978-8300 (in Saskatchewan), or email ccfv@iwk.nshealth.ca (in Nova Scotia).

“We are excited to be partnering with VIDO to open this study site in Saskatoon,” said principal investigator Dr. Stephen Sanche. “We are thankful for those in Saskatchewan that have already reached out to

express their interest and are looking for more volunteers to complete the study.”

VIDO’s COVID-19 vaccine development is supported by the Government of Canada and the Government of Saskatchewan. Operations are supported by the Government of Saskatchewan through Innovation Saskatchewan and the Canada Foundation for Innovation through their Major Science Initiatives Fund.

USask research finds many Canadians broke COVID rules, and tensions grew in relationships

By USask Research Profile and Impact SASKATOON — Nearly one in three Canadians have flouted public health guidelines on COVID-19, justifying it mostly to see friends or family. Meanwhile, more than one in five have had a falling out with friends or family members because of conflicting views on the pandemic.

These findings are highlights of a Taking the Pulse of Canada, a quarterly national survey conducted by the University of Saskatchewan’s (USask) Canadian Hub for Applied and Social Research (CHASR). The study received responses from 1,000 Canadians contacted between June 1 and June 15 via landlines and cellphones.

They were asked about their adherence to COVID-19 restrictions, justification for breaking rules, their sources for pandemic information, and the impact their views on the pandemic had on personal relationships.

“There is a lot of useful data here—interesting, reflective and retrospective information provided by Canadians— that will play a role and help inform how we continue to manage the current pandemic and deal with future pandemics,” said Jason Disano, director of CHASR. “For example, if you look at the extent to

which people were not adhering to the various public health guidelines, that could help inform policymakers on what works, what doesn’t work, and what should be a guideline versus what should be a recommendation versus what should be an actual restriction.”

In all, 29 per cent respondents broke at least one pandemic regulation. Of these, 16 per cent flouted indoor gathering limits, 11 per cent didn’t heed outdoor gathering limits, and 12 per cent didn’t wear masks in outdoor public spaces.

Meeting friends or family (27 per cent) topped the reasons for contravening rules, fol-

lowed by regulations don’t make sense (21 per cent), and violated rules in a “safe” way (17 per cent).

Disano said the latter category was created post-survey. This is because many rule breakers who answered “other reason” for their behaviour cited justifications such as believing it was safe since they were alone or socially distanced outdoors, or were fully vaccinated and didn’t consider themselves as posing a risk.

The survey found that people younger than 35 were more likely to break indoor gathering limits, while those under age 55 were more likely to defy outdoor gathering

limits. Residents of Quebec (22 per cent) and the Prairies (24 per cent) were more likely than other Canadians to ignore indoor gathering limits.

There were distinct regional differences uncovered by the survey.

Among rule breakers, British Columbians by far (90 per cent) justified themselves by saying the regulations didn’t make sense. Just eight per cent of Prairie residents felt that way. Meanwhile, seeing friends/family was a more common justification among women (62 per cent versus 30 per cent of men), and residents of Quebec and the Prairies (59 per cent and 66 per cent respectively)

compared to 11 per cent of Atlantic Canadians.

Asked about their sources of COVID-19 news, 88 per cent said they got the information online or from TV news, and about 70 per cent cited word-of-mouth or government websites.

Social media and print sources such as newspapers were cited by slightly more than a third of respondents.

Of the 35 per cent who got COVID news from social media, Facebook was the main source for 63 per cent (or about 220 people), while 38 per cent (133 people) listed Twitter.

About 50 respondents said TikTok was a source, and three listed Tumblr.

Those over age 55 used printed media more commonly, while Twitter ranked higher among those under 55.

Instagram, Reddit, Snapchat and TikTok are more common news sources for those under 35.

“There’s no primary source for Canadians’ information on the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Disano. “It really behooves governments and those responsible for communicating pandemic messages to the public to ensure that they are hitting all the demographic groups of the population.”

The results of the survey yield a margin of error of +/- 3.1 per cent nationally (19 times out of 20, meaning the results can be considered reliable 95 per cent of the time).

EDITORIAL Indigenous Land Back movement charts better way forward The Indigenous “Land Back” movement isn’t new, but it’s gaining increasing public attention and support.

In this time of facing uncomfortable truths about past and ongoing harms inflicted on Indigenous Peoples and others, it’s important to understand the history of colonial oppression, and the roots and goals of Land Back and what it means.

It’s not just about land. In the first of three short Land Back videos (about 12 minutes each) — “Past,” “Present” and “Future” — Ojibwe journalist Jesse Wente says, “It’s about self-determination for our Peoples here that should include some access to the territories and resources in a more equitable fashion, and for us to have control over how that actually looks.”

Throughout Canada’s history, Indigenous Peoples have been forced from the lands that sustained them for millennia to ever-dimin-

ishing “reservations” so colonizers could exploit “resources.”

Even national parks, including Jasper and Banff, and municipal parks like Vancouver’s Stanley Park, were created after the original people living there were expelled.

As Jasper’s website says of the park’s creation in 1907, “Indigenous peoples were considered incompatible with nature and so couldn’t live in, hunt, or harvest within park boundaries. First Nation and Métis peoples were physically removed from the landscape, blocked from accessing it and banned from harvesting plants and animals, holding gatherings and accessing cultural sites.”

Most federal and provincial Crown lands are viewed as storehouses of timber, oil, gas and minerals to be exploited and mostly exported.

Indigenous Peoples have no say over what happens on most of it, so land defenders have to step in.

Wente argues that

DAVID SUZUKI

Science Matters Canada was established more as an “extractionist corporation” than a country.

Anishinaabe storyteller and artist Bomgiizhik agrees: “When Canada formed and became its own country, they created something called the Indian Act, which was to force people off their traditional lands, have them contained onto reservations and then filtered into colonization so that they would never, ever become a threat to resource extraction.”

As with the recent finding of 215 children buried on the grounds of the former Kamloops Residential School (and evidence of many more

throughout the country), growing awareness of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, the appalling foster care and “’60s scoop” systems and more, these issues are not history; they’re ongoing, with impacts that continue through generations.

Ultimately, Land Back is about confronting these colonial abuses and charting a new path.

But it holds different meanings for different people.

Anishinaabe-Ininew 4Rs Youth Movement co-ordinator Ronald Gamblin writes in a blog, “When I hear Indigenous youth and land protectors chant ‘Land Back!’

at a rally, I know it can mean the literal restoration of land ownership.

When grandmothers and knowledge keepers say it, I tend to think it means more the stewardship and protection of mother earth. When Indigenous political leaders say it, it often means comprehensive land claims and selfgoverning agreements.

No matter what meaning is attached, we as Indigenous nations have an urge to reconnect with our land in meaningful ways.”

It’s about responsibilities as well as rights.

Beverly Jacobs, acting dean at the University of Windsor’s law faculty and a member of the Haudenosaunee Confederation, says Indigenous laws are about responsibility, relationships and reciprocity. “It isn’t until we bring in the colonial law that all of a sudden we’re talking about rights,” she says, noting that rights are based on the individual whereas Indigenous law is based on respon-

Combined traffic services Sask. receives national award Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan (CTSS) was awarded the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators’ Road Safety Award (CCMTA), which recognizes strategies aimed at reducing injury and death on Canada’s roads. The award was presented on June 18, 2021.

The award is bestowed annually to initiatives that demonstrate unique or creative attempts to advance road safety.

CTSS is a province-wide traffic enforcement unit consisting of members from the

RCMP and municipal police services.

CTSS was established in 2014 in response to recommendations made by the Special Committee on Traffic Safety. It is funded by the Government of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI).

“Improving road safety is a continuing priority for the Government of Saskatchewan,” Corrections, Policing and Public Safety Minister Christine Tell said. “We have greatly reduced the number of lives lost and people seriously injured on

Saskatchewan roads each year, and the efforts of CTSS are a huge part of that. I am proud to see the CTSS’s work recognized nationally.”

Over the past decade, Saskatchewan has made significant progress in reducing traffic fatalities and injuries, in large part through increased traffic enforcement.

“Enforcement of traffic safety is the strongest it has ever been in Saskatchewan,” Minister Responsible for SGI Don Morgan said. “The establishment of CTSS helps prevent

impaired driving, speeding, distracted driving and other dangerous driving behaviours.”

In the five years before the establishment of the CTSS, the average number of traffic fatalities per year was 158. In 2019, Saskatchewan saw the lowest number of traffic deaths in the province’s recorded history (71 fatalities), and in 2020 it was again much lower than the historical average (87 fatalities).

While no number of traffic deaths will ever be acceptable, this decrease represents tremendous progress.

Government House reopens its doors The Provincial Capital Commission (PCC) has announced that Government House reopened its doors to visitors on Sunday, June 20. Guest safety is a priority. All visits will be by pre-booked tours with safety protocols in place including mandatory mask use and physical distancing.

“With the return

of tours occurring at Government House, Saskatchewan residents can once again plan a visit and learn more about Saskatchewan’s history and heritage,” Minister Responsible for the Provincial Capital Commission Don McMorris said. “The location is both a Provincial Heritage Property and National Historic site,

and is home to the beautiful Edwardian Gardens.”

Government House offers visitors both permanent and temporary exhibits. The current art exhibit in the Queen Elizabeth II Gallery From La Ronge: Get to Know Us - is presented in partnership with the La Ronge Arts Council.

Works of art from nineteen artists in a variety

of media provides a glimpse into what makes La Ronge special, including its landscape, crafts and traditions.

The new feature exhibit, Rehab - Rest Recreation, Government House Convalescent Period from 1945 to 1957, profiles a little known period in Government House history. In 1945, Government House

became a rest home for returning Second World War veterans. Healing, therapy and recreation were the three pillars of rehabilitation. Through interactive displays, including a miniature putting green, guests gain appreciation of what life was like in the convalescent home.

“In addition to our Continued on Page 5

sibility to “all our relations,” including land.

That’s important, as western ways are unsustainable. “It’s not that the Earth can’t sustain all of humanity. It’s that the Earth can’t sustain what humans are doing,” Wente says.

The goal is to move forward together, not return to some idealized past. “Every relationship evolves, and our relationship with land has to be one that accepts our modern circumstances as Indigenous People,” Anishinaabe-Métis associate professor Aimée Craft says.

Bomgiizhik says Canada must listen to Indigenous Peoples not just when they’re protesting or blockading.

“How we’re going to win is by people working together and actually getting on the land and building sustainable economies with their bare hands.”

Land Back is rooted in Indigenous Peoples’ rights and responsibilities, but it’s also about finding a better way forward for everyone who lives here.

COWESSESS Continued from Page 2 the individuals buried in these unmarked sites.

The community hopes to place grave markers on as many of the graves as they can, and erect a memorial monument in the area to commemorate those resting there.

Delorme said the process will be painful for many, as it will draw out trauma experienced at Marieval and other residential schools in Saskatchewan, but it will also be necessary for the community’s healing process.

“We want to honour our loved ones that lay there today. We want to make sure we keep that place and preserve

it, so many can come here and heal,” said Delorme.

The bishop was unavailable for comment before the time of publishing, but states in his letter that the Archdiocese of Regina will work with Cowessess First Nation in obtaining information about those buried at the site.

Part of that support will also be provided in the form of a $70,000 investment to upgrade the cemetery site, pledged by the archdiocese in 2019.

The funding will be used for aesthetic upgrades, including trees and fences, as well as for identifying graves, creating a map of the site and building a central monument.

Discovery of dead deer results in large fine A Star City area man recently pleaded guilty to several wildlife offences and was fined $15,000 in Melfort provincial court.

On January 7, 2021, Ministry of Environment conservation officers in Melfort received a report of a dead deer found on the laneway of a rural property west of Star City.

Officers investigated and discovered 10 dead white-tailed deer on the property. The owner of the property was interviewed and admitted that he had shot multiple deer between January 1 and January 6, 2021.

He stated that he had shot the deer as they were causing damage to trees and shrubs on an adjacent property. The deer had all been shot at night as they came in to feed.

On January 10, 2021, officers responded to a second call in the same area and they located two more dead whitetailed deer. The investigation confirmed that all had died of gunshot trauma.

Ivan L. Beuker, aged 67 of Star City, was fined a total of $15,000 in relation the offences which included: • illegal hunting; • waste of edible game; • hunting within 500 m of occupied buildings; • hunting big game with a rim fire rifle; and • night hunting.

The court also imposed a three-year hunting suspension.

Of note, this individual did not contact the ministry to report that he was experiencing damage to his property.

Small Thing - Huge Celebration!

Do you ever feel like you’ve accomplished something SO GREAT that you’d like to celebrate it in some huge way but, in the scheme of life, you know it’s really so unimportant that it would be ridiculous to even acknowledge it?

Long ago I gave up the thought of looking beautiful in the state of which I was born. That ship has sailed.

In fact, it’s lost at sea. I am now in a state in which I find contentment in appearing remotely passable IN clothing but even that, as of late, has become more of a challenge.

We haven’t been able to party in the past year so I did the next best thing and had a year-long “party” in my mouth, so to speak, and this has sadly caused only one pair of my summer pants to fit properly.

I do not enjoy shopping, on a good day, so I couldn’t have been more impressed, after filling up my cart, to learn that the change rooms were closed and I wouldn’t be allowed to try on even one pair of the things I so desperately needed.

“Are you kidding me?” I asked the innocent clerk.

“What am I supposed to do? Change right here? In

PATTIE JANZEN

Laugh at Life...

Revisited front of everyone?”

She looked at me as though I was daft and said, “No. You buy them … take them home … try them on there … and return what doesn’t fit you.”

My jaw dropped at the absurdity of that directive.

“So …” I began, grasping to understand. “You’d rather I take twenty two pairs of pants out of this store, to my home which could be teaming with germs, Covid among them, and then bring back the twenty one that don’t fit? Does it not make more

sense to simply wipe down a small cubicle between customers?”

I wanted to ramble on, telling her that I feel my time is more valuable than that as well, but rules are rules and she didn’t make them. But - think about it!

Max out the credit card, transport, try on, take back (because you know you’ll have to!) and then wait in a long line with all the other saps who are returning their ill-fitting clothing? That did not sound like common sense to me.

So … I left them there. All twenty two.

This did not fix my no-pants dilemma, however, so at the next stores I first asked if I could try their clothing on. Four stores later I finally found one that would let me use their change room and, with no more time wasted, I tried on everything that held promise and was thankful to leave with two pairs for my effort.

Immediately upon exiting the store I reached to the skies and yelled “YES!” in celebration of my success. If anyone thought me crazy, my guess is they haven’t needed to shop for clothing recently. That, in itself, should be a HUGE cause for celebration!

Astralis fills void for game’s creator One the great things about playing board games, and having that interest evolve with a small group of liked minded people, to become a weekly review effort, is the chance to connect with game designers directly.

In that regard it helps of course to live in the Internet age where, thanks to an email, you can be corresponding with someone anywhere in the world in a flash.

So recently, I came upon a relatively new abstract strategy offering in the game Astralis.

A bit of net searching and I found the game is from designer Phil Leduc, who happened to also have designed Murus Gallicus back in 2009, and I reviewed a couple of years later. The game is excellent, with simple rules, easily assembled components and a ‘feel’ that suggests it was created decades ago.

Astralis is a game with a futuristic theme of exploration, and I wanted to know more, so I contacted Leduc.

It turns out he has always lived in New England, born and raised in Massachusetts and moved to Rhode Island, where he has resided with his wife for about 40 years.

Rather early on he developed an interest in board games.

“From my pre-teens, I have loved solving puzzles and playing games,” he said via email. “My parents encouraged me and I enjoyed ‘solving’ things.

“It wasn’t until my twenties that I discovered Chess’ depth, got hooked, and became serious about studying abstract games. I also started collecting games in general.”

But designing games is a different thing from playing. Trust me when I say our gamin group often talks about designing, but have dome no more than talk.

So how did Leduc make the leap?

“When I first started to collect games on my meager salary, I looked for ‘bargain’ games,” he said. “This led me to reading about games in such books as Sid Sackson’s A Gamut of Games. Here was a guy inventing simple paper

and pencil games. I thought to myself, ‘I can do that’.”

But most games never make their designers a profit, and abstract strategy games less than the average.

“I design games with the intention of bringing a challenge and enjoyment to my fellow gamers and for the pleasure of creating something through an evolutionary process,” offered Leduc.

“Thanks to the web, I have been able to present my games. I do not think of my hobby as a money-maker.”

Switching to Astralis I was curious about its evolution, and the reply suggests just how much work can go into a game’s development.

“I have for a long time wanted to design a galactic conquest game,” began Leduc. Visitors to my site’s home page may have noticed an entry titled ‘Galactic Convoy’ that has not been linked to anywhere. This is a game I started working on in 2009. It was similar to R. Wayne Schmittberger’s Oxymandia, a dice-less Risk-like game.

“Later, I tried again with a game called Galaxy-X, which was sort of a switching game where ships orbited planets and flew off to other planets. That one wasn’t too good. These games led to Astralis.”

What Leduc needed was a fresh approach and it finally emerged.

“I am always open to new ideas that may apply to game rules or mechanics,” he said. “I quietly read the abstract games forum on the BGG (Board Game Geek), and once in a while an idea or a request takes hold.

Recent readings brought a few ideas to light.

“First, I play-tested Radius with Rey Alicea and liked his idea of moving and then placing stones adjacent to the moved stone.

“Partisans by Luis Bolaños Mures with its modified Amazons movement rule also stuck in my brain.

“Finally, someone asked why there weren’t any abstract games with outer space themes. This was enough to get my creative juices flowing again.”

From there it was some good old trial and

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com error.

“I started by moving ships and dropping a planet in front of the moved ship,” said Leduc.

“Ships couldn’t fly over any planets and planets could not be adjacent.

The game turned out to be a race and maze game, more maze than race in the end. The planet scores were always very close and not deemed good enough.

Clearly, more work was needed.”

So back to the development board Leduc went.

Control tiles came to mind, but I hesitated to use control tiles during play and decided to use dice to keep track of controlled hexes. This wasn’t too bad. But, for simplicity reasons, controlled hexes were being counted multiple times rather than just once. As a result, players were more likely to pack their planet close together and this affected ship mobility. At this point, I felt using tiles for control indicators was the best way to go.”

The next idea came

“The first change I made was to allow placing planets in any adjacent hex instead of only in front of the flight path,” he said. “This let the ships move down diagonals; but still, ships could not fly over planets. After a fitful night of sleep and thinking, I realized ships should be allowed to ‘fly’ over friendly planets. This greatly improved mobility. But still, the scores were too close.

“This led to the use of zones of control, a wargame throwback. The scores became more varied. Great. But now there was a new problem. With no visual aids, counting the control hexes at the end of a game was difficult and annoying.

from Go, the surrounding game.

“Captures of planets improved the variability in scores. Players could score ‘big’ once in a while by surrounding a planet with controlled hexes or score an extra point now and then by surrounding an unexplored hex. The latter is easier to achieve but the extra points come slowly.

With these rules, I felt it was time to publish Astralis to my site and present it on BGG,” said Leduc.

Stephen Tavener was kind enough to add Astralis to his Ai Ai game collection, he added.

“In the process of programming, Stephen used

X’s to indicate contested hexes, and it finally dawned on me that a new tile type was needed,” said Leduc. “Up to this time, players had to determine which hexes were contested and which were unexplored.

With the addition of a new red contested tile, this is no longer the case.

“This, I believe, completes the design of Astralis (see https://sites. google.com/site/theowlsnest02/home)” So what does Leduc see as the greatest challenge in its creation?

“There are three challenges that I contend with when developing games,” he said.

“Lack of sleep. It is very hard for me to turn off thinking about a game I am trying to create and the problems it presents.

It feels great when you finally succeed in solving the problems. Designing a good game requires commitment and, at least for me, lack of sleep.

“Graphics are also a challenge but Inkscape has turned out to be a great tool. Developing a good look for a game can be time consuming.

“But, my greatest challenge is writing. As a ‘mathematician’ I want to be thorough which usually means redundancy for the sake of clarity.

Game publishers and gamers want short, concise rules. I struggle to cull down my rules to something suitable for publication.”

So with Astralis offering something rather unique and recent, Murus Gallicus a classic feel with more than a decade of play, and numerous other games designed which one doe Leduc think is his best?

“I am convinced that players want simple rules that lead to complexities in game play,” he replied. “Astralis is basically a simple game of movement and placement with some localized housekeeping.

Fortunately, computers can do the housekeeping for players. Astralis feels like an expansive game with plenty of opportunities to block and surprise your opponent with sweeping moves.

“Planet captures and bonuses are tempting and challenging to achieve. There is plenty to think about as you grab territory, block or

trap your opponent, and worry about trapping yourself.

“In my opinion, games that require players to balance between offense and defense are best.”

But, it his best design?

If not, which game does he look at as his best?

“This is like asking someone which of his children he likes best,” offered Leduc.” I like all my games for one reason of another, but alright -I’ll talk about my favorites.

“Murus Gallicus is my flagship blockade game and has a very good track record. It truly has simple rules and complex game play. It is quite scalable.

Advanced Murus Gallicus, with its catapults, is actually considered even better by some players!

“Momentum is a great simple game with marbles flying around and off the board. The iggamecenter bot plays Momentum extremely well and players can get hooked on trying to beat the bot.

“Siege Master is also a great game of fortress enclosure that can be played on a multitude of maps or hex-hex boards.

It is too bad, the game requires too much set up time and too many components when played on a board. SM is ideal for computer play.

“Dot Dash is a fascinating five-in-a-row game with all its amazing escapes from defeat.

Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an appetite for n-in-a-row games on the BGG. Speaking of n-in-a-row games, Bagel, my latest 3-in-a-row game with stone placement dependent on hex colors, is a good one. Again the balance between offense and defense is at play here.

“Finally, I believe Astralis is right up there with Murus Gallicus, but only time will tell if the public sees what I see in the game. Astralis is a fresh blend of game mechanisms presented with attractive graphics.

How deep the game plays remains to be seen? If I am reading Ai Ai data properly, Astralis is an even game with equal chances for both players. Best of all, I really like the feel and theme of the game -- I hope players give a try.”

A cheaper method for hydrogen-based fuels Saskatoon – Researchers see the potential of hydrogenbased fuels in the fight against climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. While traditional green energy lacks the ability to ramp up energy production, hydrogen-based power can be utilized quickly to meet demands.

“There is this sort of mismatch between

demand and supply with some of those intermittent energies like solar and wind,” said Dr. Simon Trudel, an Associate Professor at the University of Calgary (UCalgary).

To make green energy solutions more profitable for producers and more accessible to consumers, you need a way to store it. Turning to water electrolysis or

water splitting is one way to achieve that.

“The idea is that you take water, which is super stable, and apply energy to it so you can split it back into hydrogen and oxygen,” Trudel said. “Hydrogen is the fuel you want. You can use it in a fuel cell and it can burn quite cleanly, and it gives you back water.”

Hydrogen production through water splitting is accomplished through a reaction that is made more efficient by catalysts.

With the help of the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan, Trudel and Dr. Martin Schoen, a postdoc with UCalgary, have characterized the structural properties of catalysts made from nickel and iron oxide — cheap materials that are a cost effect alternative to the precious metals generally used as the

“We are really grateful to the CLS. They gave us a lot of beamtime to do an in-depth study that yielded some really cool things at the end of the day and might open up a new field of research that not many people are looking into.”

In a recent paper, the researchers reported on what structural features govern the impressive efficacy of amorphous nickel-iron mixed metal oxide electrocatalysts used for water splitting.

To understand the behaviour of amorphous metal oxides, Schoen recommends imagining a messy cutlery drawer where instead of organizing knives, forks, and spoons by type, someone has just tossed them into a heap.

“It’s like when I was a student and just grabbed everything from the dishwasher and threw it in and it was a whole mess — that’s what amorphous materials are like,” Schoen said.

There are a thousand different ways amorphous materials can look, and it only takes a small amount of energy to shift the way they are organized. With synchrotron technology the team was able to view different disordered states and compare these states with electrochemical properties.

The team also discovered that the reaction must occur partially on the nickel site and partially on the iron site.

Schoen compares this to eating a steak — you need both a knife and fork to do it efficiently.

For the reaction to occur, you need both the nickel and the iron.

The team’s findings take us a step closer to an efficient catalyst for hydrogen production.

“If we can reduce the cost and reduce the energy demand, then you’re getting more hydrogen out per unit of energy that you put in,” Trudel said.

Crop development normal This week, the northeast and east-central regions saw the most rain, with the highest amount reported in the Spruce Home and Rhein areas with 32 mm. The Barthel area reported 21 mm, the Turtleford and Meadow Lake areas reported 14 mm, and Melfort reported 10 mm.

Most farmers need more rain, especially in the southern and west-central regions of the province, where it is needed to sustain crop and pasture growth.

Crop development is normal for this time of year in most areas, with oilseed crops reported as behind other crops.

Provincially, 62 per cent of fall cereals, 81 per cent of spring cereals, 70 per cent of oilseed crops, and 81 per cent of pulse crops are at a normal stage of development for this time of year.

Many areas of the province also experienced strong dry winds this week, resulting in crop damage, rapidly drying soils and delayed

herbicide application.

Delayed herbicide applications have allowed weeds to establish which has resulted in many areas moving past the point of effectively controlling them.

The topsoil moisture across the province is declining due to very high temperatures and non-stop winds. There were small reports of rain in the province, with very few areas receiving enough to alleviate the stress caused by extremely dry conditions. Producers reported that dry conditions and cool temperatures have greatly slowed hay and pasture growth, with some concerned about their ability to support cattle throughout the summer without more rain.

East-Central Saskatchewan: • Crop District 5 – Melville, Yorkton, Cupar, Kamsack, Foam Lake, Preeceville and Kelvington areas • Crop District 6A – Lumsden, Craik, Watrous

and Clavet areas The region did not receive much rain this week except for the northeast of Yorkton, which saw 32 mm around the Rhein area. The Rama area reported eight mm, the Kenaston and Ituna areas seven mm and the Humboldt area five mm. With the exception of the Rhein area, not enough rain was received to make a positive change to the soil moisture conditions in the region.

Moisture conditions regionally have slightly decreased over the past week. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 55 per cent adequate, 37 per cent short, and eight per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 40 per cent adequate, 47 per cent short, and twelve per cent very short.

Due to the absence of good general rains, many producers indicated that hay and pasture growth had been affected by the minimal soil moisture.

Preeceville Western Weekend in August

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Looking for something to do the weekend of Aug. 20-22, then head north up Highway #10 to attend the Preeceville Lions Western Weekend.

Ralph Ager, Mayor of Preeceville and a member of the Lions Club said they were keeping a close eye on provincial COVID-19 regulations, hoping they would relax sufficiently to have an event.

“We couldn’t do it last year,” he said, but with most restrictions announced to be lifted

July 11, holding the event this August was possible.

“We’ve got enough time to get prepared.”

Ager said the event is something the community needs.

“Everybody’s looking for something to happen,” he said, adding people seem eager to get out and have some fun.

And that’s what Western Weekend is all about, having some fun.

“We have quite a busy weekend planned,” said Ager.

One of the key draws will be three days of racing by the Eastern Professional Chariot &

Chuckwagon Association, said Ager. Races go Friday evening and Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

Also on the events list will be a co-ed slow pitch tournament, bouncy castle and face painting for the kids, a trade show, and a Texas Hold’em Tournament.

Ager noted the event is about community, but added “it’s quite a big fundraiser for the Lions,” as well as other community groups who participate in the weekend such as minor ball and the curling club.

diseases. Areas that had been damaged by flea beetles are now reseeded and will hopefully catch up to the rest of the crop quickly. There are reports of minor to severe damage on canola due to frost over the weekend.

Provincially, moisture levels on crop and hay and pasture land have fallen, particularly in areas that received little to no rainfall this week.

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 56 per cent adequate, 36 per cent short and six per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as zero per cent surplus, 45 per cent adequate, 42 per cent short, and 13 per cent very short.

Moderately warm temperatures have also helped with crop development, and farmers are hopeful with the

recent rains that this will continue. The lack of rainfall across the majority of the province has delayed hay land growth and will likely delay the timing of the first cut, as well as reduce the yield.

Dry topsoil moisture conditions have resulted in delayed emergence and development of later and smaller seeded crops. There have been reports of flea beetle damage in most regions, affecting canola development for some.

Farmers have been busy spraying when they can, scouting fields and performing other farm tasks. There have been isolated reports of frost, mainly in the central and northern regions; damage is not yet known, but the crop of most concern is canola. There have also been reports of damage from flea beetle, cutworms, gophers and root rot diseases.

early spring into summer have also slowed crop, hay and pasture development. Most of the region, especially areas that did not receive substantial rain, are hoping for less wind, more precipitation and warmer temperatures to support later-seeded crops and improve pasture conditions.

Regionally, 61 per cent of the fall cereals, 80 per cent of the spring cereals, 65 per cent of the oilseed crops and 90 per cent of the pulse crops are at their normal stages of development for this time of year.

YEA to host races and food trucks

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It won’t be the traditional summer fair, but the Yorkton Exhibition Association has announced a fun weekend for mid-July.

The YEA will be hosting the Eastern Professional Chariot and Chuckwagon Association Chariot & Chuckwagon races on the new Legacy Co-op Grandstand July 16-18.

“Normally, we gave chariot and chuckwagon races in conjunction with our Yorkton Exhibition Association’s annual summer fair,” explained spokesperson Barb Woytas.

This year, due to COVID-19 restrictions still being in place when the fair needed to book

attractions, the YEA cancelled the fair some time ago.

But now that COVID restrictions are coming off, Woytas said when they had an opportunity to host a race weekend,

they jumped on it.

“It’s just fantastic this weekend came available to us,” she said. “And, we’re doubly excited to do it on our brand new Legacy Co-op grandstand.”

With the races booked as a foundation for a weekend of fun, Woytas said the Association has some added features already in place, starting with a ‘Taste of the Fair’ food truck event. She

said they already have half a dozen trucks booked to participate and expect up to 10 by the event weekend.

The food trucks will be at the YEA grounds starting July 15 through the 18th.

“So you can come down and get your favourite fair food and not miss out on that part of the fair that everybody loves,” said Woytas.

On Friday evening, July 16, Lenny and the Gypsies will also be performing after the races are finished, offering an outdoor cabaret to go along with a beer garden.

“It will be more of an event to socialize and get together,” said Woytas.

While not a full fair, Woytas said the YEA is just happy to be back providing entertainment

Kelvington Fair moving forward

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Kelvington Agricultural Society will be hosting its 98th Summer Fair this July 30 to Aug. 1.

The Society made the decision to go ahead with the event only recently after having cancelled the 2020 fair because of COVID-19.

“It’s exciting and scary all at the same time,” said Society president Rylan By. “… It was a big decision.”

By said the Society had been holding off making a final decision as long as they could, hoping the pandemic situation would ease and allow them to go forward.

“We were doing what we could, hanging on as long as we could before we making a final decision,” he said.

Finally, as the province released its reopening roadmap, By said things looked positive to go ahead.

“We took a look at that (roadmap), and by August, we should be in the clear,” he said.

By added, they really did want to go forward as the Society’s 100th anniversary is only two years away, and they didn’t want to cancel for a second year, fearing they might not manage to restart if they did.

Of course, with the late decision, By said they now face a big job to be ready.

“It’s crunch time.

There’s so much work,” he said, adding the plan is to offer a fair very much in line with previous events. He said the Society didn’t want to offer anything but a full fair schedule.

“So many people have been involved (over the years) ... and they take pride in the way we do things,” said By. By said, while some may shy away as thoughts of COVID-19 linger, he expects a good response to the fair’s return.

“Everybody’s itching to do something. If you are ready to do something, we’re here,” he said.

For anyone wanting more information on the upcoming fair, check out the Kelvington Agricultural Society page on Facebook.

Mill group announces new fundraiser

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Flour Mill launched a new fundraising effort Friday with the announcement of its inaugural ‘Road Rally.’

The rally, scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 7, will have teams of two climb in their vehicles and hit the streets, highways and roads in and around the city, looking for clues and collecting photos, all with an eye to earning the greatest number of points before the end of the race, explained Thom Weir, one of the event organizers.

Weir said the day is about raising money for the mill and to start returning the site to its previous stature.

“One hundred and twenty years ago this was the centre of Yorkton,” he said, adding its the committee’s role “. . . to make it the heart of the

Langenburg youth receives scholarship

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer At a recent virtual ceremony, Rogers Communications handed out Ted Rogers Scholarship to 26 Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan youth.

Charlee Mitschke of Langenburg is one of the scholarship recipients.

Mitschke recently received her diploma from Langenburg Central School.

“I was shocked when I found out I was the recipient,” she told Yorkton This Week. “I couldn’t believe it. I owe so many thank you’s to the Ted Rogers Scholarship Foundation.”

Recipients, such as Mitschke, are being awarded a $2,500 renewable scholarship, with the opportunity for up to four years or $10,000.

The scholarships support post-secondary studies this fall and are in recognition of the community leadership and volunteerism of the recipients.

“I applied for the award a few months back,” said Mitschke.

“Through my work as a mentor, I learned about the Ted Rogers Scholarship. I emailed a five-page questionnaire about who I was and how I have impacted others.

“Accompanying the questionnaire were three letters of reference and a video where I had to answer a topic ques-

“About a week or two after I submitted my information, I was shortlisted for the award.”

The scholarships are important to Rogers Communications as well.

“Rogers is proud to support this next generation of leaders and changemakers in Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan by awarding scholarships that help deserving youth achieve their highest potential. By recognizing their volunteerism and community leadership and reducing education barriers, we know this investment in their future is an investment for our region,” said Larry Goerzen, President of Alberta and Prairies Region, Rogers Communications, in a release.

For teams to enter, they must offer a minimum of $150 in pledges that will go to the Flour Mill. Those entering will be issued a tax receipt.

Kinsmen, Kinette and Kin clubs across the country work to better their commun-

ities, enhance the wellbeing of Canadians and improve the environment, yorktonkinsmen. com The rally, with the course designed by the Kinsmen Club, starts at 2 p.m., with historic checkpoints figuring heavily in

the design.

While the rally is the main focus of the fundraiser, a number of other activities have been planned for the day as well.

The day will kickoff at 11:30 a.m. with a pancake and sausage brunch, with Harvest Meats supplying the sausages, and hosted by the Yorkton Professional Firefighters Association with donations going to the Firefighters Burn Unit.

A beer garden by Back Forty Brewing will be held in the afternoon at the mill site.

At 5:30, a barbecue with food donated by Legacy Co-op and ran by the Lions Club will be held on-site.

From 7-8 p.m., classic car participants will be cruising Broadway Street and then parked for a ‘show and shine’ at the Gallagher Centre.

At 9 p.m., a drive-in movie will wrap up the day with Smokey and the Bandit 2, again at the Gallagher Centre.

Fair returning in Invermay in August

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer After no summer fair in 2020 due to COVID-19, the Invermay Agricultural Society has announced the event will return this August.

“We were hemming and hawing quite a bit,” admitted Society spokesperson Kalista Jack, adding they were kind of waiting on Kelvington to make their decision since the two fairs have long been on back-toback weekends. “... We were sort of going to piggyback off their deci-

sion, so we had our fingers crossed.”

When Kelvington said they would host a fair, Invermay fell in–step with plans for an event Aug. 6-8.

Looking back to 2020, when the usual fair weekend came and went in Invermay, was hard.

“To see that chunk of land (fairgrounds) that usually turns into a little town, empty was terrible,” said Jack.

Now there is local excitement again.

“It’s just going to be so great,” said Jack.

As for events, Jack

said this year’s fair will have all the things people have long come out to the fair to enjoying, starting with chuckwagon races Friday evening.

On Saturday, there will be more racing, gymkhana events, slopitch, food booths and of course, a hall full of exhibits.

“Hopefully, everybody’s got a good garden growing so that it (the hall) will be filled to the brim,” said Jack.

Expos sweep weekend doubleheader The 18U AAA Expos took sole possession of second place in the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League following a two-game sweep over the weekend.

The Expos faced the White Butte Broncos and beat them in both games.

Game 1 of the doubleheader was a nail-biter as Kayden Smith would open up the scoring with a solo home run in the second inning. Then,

White Butte scored in back-to-back innings to take the lead. In the top of the fifth inning, Ryan Rathgeber would hit a three-run home run to give the Expos a 4-3 lead, which wouldn’t last long. The Broncos would answer back in the bottom of the inning to tie the game up. In the sixth inning, an error would allow the Expos to retake the lead, with a Clay Sleeva RBI single

giving Parkland a muchneeded insurance run as the Expos would in 6-5 despite being outhit 13 to 7.

In Game 2, the Expos offence got started early and carried them to a 10-4 win. Kayden Smith started it off with a tworun single in the first, later scoring on a groundout by Carter Phythian.

Parkland would add another three runs in the third inning as Brady Bjornerud drove in a run on a groundout before an error would see the Expos score two more runs. Two wild pitches, another error, a groundout, and a sacrifice fly would score the Expos’ next four runs.

Parkland now sits at 10-7, good enough for second place though they have played the most games out of any team.

Kayden Smith picked up 4 RBIs to give him a league-leading 25 RBIs on the season. His teammate Ryan Rathgeber drove in three and sits in second with 19 RBIs, with Carter Phythian not too far behind as he sits fourth with 16 RBIs. The Expos are next in action this weekend as they host the first place Sask5 Giants (12-3) on Saturday and the North West Prairie Pirates (2-10) on Sunday.

Vehicle parade provides enjoyment for seniors Courtesy of Preeceville Progress Rose Descalchuk and Sandra Johnson, both employees of the Preeceville and District long term care, arranged a vehicle parade for Father’s Day that would give the seniors in the LTC and Preeceville

Personal Care Home some enjoyment after being shut inside for over a year due to the pandemic.

Cars, trucks and motorcycles joined the parade as they travelled past the homes and to Crystal Lake, ending the parade in Sturgis for ice cream.

“The whole concept was to give the residents some enjoyment and have people come out and enjoy the ride,”: said Descalchuk. Joining in the ride were: Bob and Linda Knutson, Phil Murrin, Rose and Ron Descalchuk, Metro and Violet Chornomitz,

Brad, Crystal and Darcy Romanchuk, Jason, Lindy and Eva Romanchuk, Chris, Sandra, Karter and Macey Johnson, Michael and Bill Andrusko, Scott and Loranda Shuya, Randy and Joel Wionzek, Vern Steranlo and Brad Kusharyshen.

The Johnson family enjoyed spending time together on Father’s Day in the parade.

Michael Andrusko enjoyed spending the day with his 92-year-old father Bill Andrusko when they participated in the Father’s day vehicle parade in Preeceville. They showcased and drove an original 1955 Fargo.

Want to watch some mud fly this summer?

Then make sure to mark July 17 on your calendar for a trip to Theodore, as the Theodore and District Rec Board Inc. has announced the town’s Super Swamper will be returning bigger and better than ever.

“It wasn’t a big decision. It was more of a joyous decision that we could make,” said group spokesperson Adam Stuart.

Stuart said they were encouraged as the number of COVID-19 cases declined and the regulations loosened, making it possible to proceed with the event, which did not happen in 2020 due to the pandemic.

Stuart said it definitely feels good to have a project going forward after the pandemic meant no Theodore Buffaloes hockey this past winter, no Ladies Night event and other activities put on hold for the past year.

And there seems to be a pent-up demand from people looking for something to do.

“There’s been an overwhelming response,”

said Stuart, noting a social media posting on the mud fling’s return has had more than 2000 people checking it in just two weeks.

“It’s been overwhelmingly positive about the event.”

While the trucks will only be grinding through the mud Saturday, the community celebration actually begins Friday, said Stuart.

Things start Friday at 5 with a community parade, followed by a community wiener roast, and then fireworks at around 10, said Stuart.

Then Saturday, people will have a chance to get up close to the mud flingers in the morning before they hit what Stuart noted will be a new course, one designed to allow a bit more speed, meaning more mud flying and less trucks needing a pull after being stuck.

“We’re expecting more trucks than we’ve ever seen before,” added Stuart.

Stuart said people can expect all the excitement they remember and a few new twists too.

“It’s all guns blazing,” he said.

Stuart also added the Theodore Buffaloes are already planning their return to action this fall.
