A day kayaking Cutarm Creek proved a great place for some kayaking July 1. Sandy Kerr of Yorkton, and daughter Emma headed to the creek just south of Churchbridge where there is a great spot to put into the water, as well as to park your vehicle, and even have lunch on provided tables. During the recent paddle the pair passed a beaver house, saw some whitetail deer and of course a multitude of birds on their leisurely meander down the quiet water way.

Innovation Saskatchewan invests in novel wheat straw pulping technologies Innovation Saskatchewan is committing $395,000 to Red Leaf Pulp through its Saskatchewan Advantage Innovation Fund (SAIF) to develop novel wheat straw pulping technologies. In March 2021, Agriculture and Agri-Foods Canada also announced that it was providing $495,000 toward this project through its Agricultural Clean Technology Fund.

This funding was made possible through provincial support via SAIF. Red Leaf Pulp (RLP) is leading a project to commercialize new technologies to produce pulp from wheat straw, which can be used to manufacture paper and packaging products. Wheat straw pulp also has the

potential to be an environmentally friendly feedstock for paper and single-use consumer packaging, and an additional source of revenue for wheat growers.

“The Saskatchewan

Advantage Innovation Fund program is designed to accelerate commercialization of game-changing technological innovations in the province’s core sectors,” Minister

Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said. “This is another example of Saskatchewan’s commitment to continue investing in ag innova-

tion projects that have potential for high economic impact and we’re excited to see further development of this technology.”

In addition to paper and packaging products, RLP will also work with researchers at the University of Saskatchewan to identify and develop additional high-value applications. Once successfully commercializing the pulping technology, RLP will establish Canada’s first wheat straw pulp facility in Regina. The facility is estimated to be worth $350 million and is expected to create 110 permanent full-time jobs and 250 jobs during construction.

“Red Leaf Pulp is

very appreciative of the support that Innovation Saskatchewan has shown through the SAIF program for the development of our project,” Red Leaf Pulp CEO Martin Pudlas said.

“This is strong indication of the Province’s commitment to reducing carbon and promoting enhanced utilization and efficiency in the agricultural sector.”

Innovation Saskatchewan’s investment in Red Leaf Pulp through SAIF will continue to position the province as global ag innovation leaders and add value to the province’s agricultural products - all important objectives in the Saskatchewan Growth Plan 2020-2030.

Young butcher birds are on the loose!

Regina, SK – June 28, 2021 – “Young Loggerhead Shrikes threatened, prairie songbirds - are going to be out over the next couple of weeks near their nests, learning to perfect their hunting and impaling skills,” says Rebecca Magnus, Habitat Stewardship Coordinator with Nature Saskatchewan. “This is probably the most fascinating time to observe shrikes as the young may be in groups of 4 to 7, clumsily hunting and impaling prey, not going

too far from their nests”.

Butchers hang their meat to dry, and so too does the Loggerhead Shrike. Magnus explains, “instead of storing their meat in a meat locker as a butcher would, these birds impale and hang their prey on barbed wire fences, thorny shrubs, and trees, affording them the nickname ‘butcher bird’”.

The shrike’s prey items include beetles, grasshoppers, garter snakes, mice, voles, frogs, and even other smaller songbirds. Similar to birds of

order to secure it during feeding.

These birds earn the “Loggerhead” part of their name because they have relatively large heads, and the “Shrike” part of their name because they have a high-pitched shriek for an alarm call. The Loggerhead Shrike has a grey back with white underparts, and black wings and a black tail with characteristic white stripes on the wings and the edges of the tail.

These traits are easily seen when shrikes are in flight.

New USask research has potential to make fava beans a new favourite from farm to fork

By USask Research Profile and Impact Saskatoon – A once popular high-protein legume crop with potential to make farming more environmentally sustainable is poised for reinvigorated popularity, thanks to an international research team, including plant geneticists from University of Saskatchewan (USask).

While the fava bean plant is high in protein, well-suited to growing in colder climates, and capable of virtually eliminating the need for fertilizer, it has one fatal flaw—for an estimated 400 million people worldwide, eating the bean can have severe health consequences. In people deficient in a certain enzyme, eating the bean causes damage to a person’s red blood cells.

In research just published in the journal Nature Plants, an international team of researchers including USask plant scientists have identified a key step in how the plant—also known as the faba bean or broad bean—produces

(Credit: Christina Weese)

Dr. Albert Vandenberg (PhD) in a University of Saskatchewan research field. the compounds vicine and convicine. In four per cent of the world’s population who carry a specific gene, digesting fava beans can trigger the blood disorder, known as favism.

“Fava bean has been a neglected crop because of the favism issue,” said Dr. Albert Vandenberg (PhD), USask plant

breeder and geneticist, and co-author of the research. “Now, we can reduce 99 per cent of the vicine and convicine, and using sequencing and genomics, we should be able to zero in, to shut it down, 100 per cent.”

The international team also involving researchers from University of Copenhagen and Aarhus

University in Denmark, University of Helsinki and Natural Resources Institute Finland in Finland, University of Reading, U.K., and Georg-August-University, Germany, has now identified the key biological pathway that results in vicine and convicine.

While fava beans have been cultivated since

the Roman empire, favism has an equally long history, with the Greek philosopher Pythagoras discouraging his followers from consuming the bean as early as the fifth century BCE. By identifying how the plant produces these compounds, new low vicine and convicine fava beans could be a new, high-value crop for farmers. In addition to being rich with protein, fava beans are exceptionally good at adding nitrogen to the soil.

“This is like a machine for replacing nitrogen fertilizer,” said Vandenberg. “It has huge ecological consequences in the future of agriculture, here and globally.”

By adding fava beans to regular crop rotation, producers could reduce some of their use of nitrogen fertilizer, Vandenberg said.

“Suddenly, everybody in the world is interested in this,” said Vandenberg.

In additional to being eaten as a dry bean, fava beans are also consumed as a fresh vegetable, and are generating interest

from the food industry due to growing global demand for efficient, plant-based protein.

This work is the culmination of more than a decade of research and builds on a previous discovery by Dr. Hamid Khazaei (PhD), Vandenberg’s research associate currently at USask and soon to be at World Vegetable Centre– Taiwan, and co-author of the paper, identifying the specific genetic marker for the noxious compounds.

Vandenberg expects seed supplies of fava beans without vicine and convicine in sufficient quantities for commercial production to be available in 2022.

The research was funded by grants from Innovation Fund Denmark, Academy of Finland, U.K. Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council, VILLUM Foundation, Danish National Research Foundation, Guangzhou Elite, and the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture.

Anthrax confirmed in sheep in the RM of South Qu-Appelle #157 Saskatchewan Agriculture is reminding producers to be on the lookout for anthrax in their animals after confirmation that anthrax has been found in the RM of South Qu’Appelle #157.

Anthrax was confirmed by laboratory results on July 7, 2021 as the cause of death in one animal in a flock of sheep. It is the suspected cause of death of four additional sheep on the same premises.

Anthrax is caused by the bacteria Bacillus anthracis, which can survive in spore form for decades in soil. Changes in soil moisture, from flooding and drying, can lead to a build-up of the spores on pastures.

Spores can concentrate in sloughs and potholes, and there is increased risk of animal exposure to anthrax in drier years when these areas dry up and become accessible.

Spores can also surface when the ground is excavated or when there is excessive run-off.

Livestock are infected

when they eat forage contaminated with spores.

Ruminants such as bison, cattle, sheep and goats, are highly susceptible, and horses can also be infected. Swine, birds and carnivores are more resistant to infection, but farm dogs and cats should be kept away from carcasses.

Affected animals are usually found dead without any signs of illness.

Anthrax can be prevented by vaccination.

Producers in regions that have experienced previous outbreaks are strongly encouraged to vaccinate their animals each year. If your neighbours’ animals have anthrax, you should consider vaccination to protect your animals.

The carcasses of any animal suspected of having anthrax should not be

moved or disturbed, and should be protected from scavengers such as coyotes or ravens, to prevent spreading spores in the environment.

Anyone who suspects anthrax should contact their local veterinarian immediately for diagnosis. All tests must be confirmed by a laboratory diagnosis. All positive test results must be immediately reported

to the provincial Chief Veterinary Officer.

Producers are advised to use caution when handling potentially infected animals or carcasses. Animal cases pose minimal risk to humans but people can become infected through direct contact with sick animals or carcasses. In cases where people believe they have been exposed to an infected animal,

EDITORIAL Reparation, land and justice for Indigenous Peoples is long overdue Canada as a nation was founded by “hewers of wood and drawers of water,” as late Canadian economist Harold Innis wrote in his 1930 book, The Fur Trade in Canada — using a biblical phrase to describe the country’s long-standing reliance on resource exploitation.

When the Hudson’s Bay Company started buying and exporting fur pelts, it created such a demand in Europe that the most commonly trapped creature, the beaver, was almost wiped out. Once settlers got settled, resource extraction expanded to logging and later oil and gas extraction.

Both have shown the same lack of appreciation for moderation as the fur trade. For example, less than three per cent of original old-growth forests that once graced British Columbia still stand, and the fossil fuel industry’s greenhouse gas emissions make an outsized contribution to climate change.

Indigenous Peoples were integral to the fur trade, but settlers eventually saw their presence on the land, and their sense of responsibility to it, as impediments to their ability to exploit and profit from its “resources.” And so colonial-settler governments moved Indigenous Peoples to reservations, while the newcomers reaped the benefits of their “property” — a concept unfamiliar to people who believe in shared responsibility to and reciprocity with land rather than “ownership.”

According to the 2021 Yellowhead Institute report “Cash Back,” “Hard work is not what made Canadians richer than First Nations. … The difference was that their labour was paid off in free land stolen from Indigenous peoples. First Nations were left stranded on a vast archipelago of reserves and settlements, denied access to their wealth in territory.”

But Canada is changing. Growing recognition of the devastating harms our colonial past and still-existing

DAVID SUZUKI

Science Matters systemic racism and oppression have perpetrated on Indigenous people has been met with increasing calls to redefine how we see our country, to give land back and to advance systems of economic reparation.

One recent initiative on southern Vancouver Island aims to start decolonizing by creating a forum for businesses and homeowners to make voluntary payments, equal to one per cent of private property taxes a month, to the First Nations whose traditional territories they’re in. The Reciprocity initiative is about creating a way to connect people, return wealth and make territorial recognition tangible. It aims to change the culture of private property and the way people think about home, in Canada and beyond.

The idea of redirecting taxes is not new. In a short video on the future of land governance in Canada, Plenty Canada senior adviser Tim Johnson says that, as Canada’s Parliament buildings stand on unceded Algonquin lands, “I’d rather see the government just say, ‘Yes, we do not legally possess this land; let’s work out a lease arrangement for it.’ There should be an annual payment that allows First Nations to develop their societies, develop their governments and develop the institutions they need to also help

manage those lands.”

Another possible change concerns royalties — fees companies pay to provinces in exchange for rights to extract trees, minerals and oil and gas. The system badly needs transforming. B.C. just called for a royalty review for petroleum and gas extraction. Throughout Canada, royalty fees should be increased to reflect externalities — costs not accounted for, such as negative impacts to nature and climate — and should go to First Nations and provincial governments, not to the province alone.

Canada was built on resource extraction, and its foundations are shaky on many fronts, including dispossession of Indigenous Peoples and wilful blindness to natural limits — the surpassing of which has led to the climate and biodiversity crises.

As “Cash Back” says, “It is important that we do not talk about a single ‘economy’ in this country.

Because the ‘Canadian economy’ is not the same thing as the many other types of economies that organize Indigenous lives. … Restoring Indigenous economies requires focusing on the perspectives of those most impacted by colonization and the attacks on Indigenous livelihoods. It means reclaiming the language for ‘sharing’ in dozens of Indigenous tongues. It means recognizing that Indigenous inherent rights do not stop at the boundaries of the reserve.”

The sun has set on limitless extraction. Let’s work together to ensure the future is built on economies that sustain and repair, rather than degrade, life.

Rare Second World War machine on display at new Diefenbaker Canada Centre exhibit Saskatoon – A new exhibition at the Diefenbaker Canada Centre on the University of Saskatchewan (USask) campus will provide visitors with a rare opportunity to view an authentic Second World War Enigma cipher machine.

The 500-squarefoot show, called Cipher|Decipher, will highlight a wide range of historic communications encryption

artifacts on loan from the Communications Security Establishment (CSE).

“This exhibit provides a unique, interactive, and engaging experience for people of all ages, and is a great exhibit in which we are able to reopen our doors,” said Diefenbaker Canada Centre Curatorial, Collections, and Exhibits Manager, Heather Fraser.

“We are looking forward to welcoming the public back into our exhibits as safely as possible.”

The exhibition, developed by Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation / Ingenium - Musées des sciences et de l’innovation du Canada in partnership with the CSE, allows visitors to scramble their own messages using a cipher

wheel, see how an Enigma cipher machine works, and tackle puzzles to learn if they have what it takes to work in the field of cryptology.

“This interactive exhibition demystifies a complex field, and lets visitors discover how much communications cryptology technologies contribute to our everyday lives,” said President and CEO of Ingenium,

Christina Tessier.

Cipher|Decipher is set to open on July 7 and will run through to Sept.

11, 2021. Tickets are available to pre-purchase for scheduled tours of the Diefenbaker Canada Centre permanent and travelling exhibits galleries. Attendance is limited to ten people per tour in accordance with both the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan and the USask

Report sets out priorities to address Yorkton homelessness A report assessing housing in Yorkton concludes that homelessness and hard-to-house issues in Yorkton are worsening and recommends both short-term and long-term action to address them.

The report was prepared for the Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbours (SIGN) and is based on surveys of those affected by homelessness in Yorkton, focus groups, one-on-one interviews and research into local demographic and economic factors.

The report recommends the following short-term priorities: • All-inclusive emergency shelters that accept all demographics.

Men make up two-thirds of the hard-to-house population but there are no emergency options in

place for them; • Support that addresses mental health issues. More than 40 per cent of respondents report having mental health problems; • More affordable housing options. Many hard-to-house individuals are struggling to make ends meet.

Although social assistance is meant to cover food and shelter, it is not enough to cover both; • Addressing the largest barriers of homelessness. Over two-thirds of hard-to-house individuals are unemployed; 85% of those surveyed have high school or less, and 35% have a learning disability. Job placements are a necessary support to help homeless and hard-to-house individuals in Yorkton secure a paycheque and

pay rent; • Community partnerships that provide supports for those at risk of homelessness.

Many organizations in the community have developed strategies to support those at risk of homelessness but most are unaware of what others in the community are doing. A collaborative support network among these organizations would be beneficial.

The report recommends a “housing first” model as the long-term priority.

“It is incredibly difficult for individuals experiencing homelessness to focus on other needs, such as education, employment, addictions, health conditions, etc., if they do not first have a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs.

“Addressing the barriers to securing housing and providing supports to those at risk of homelessness is a critical first step in eradicating homelessness in Yorkton,” the report states.

Housing First involves moving people experiencing homelessness — especially people who are chronically homeless—rapidly from the street or emergency shelters into stable and longterm housing and providing them with support.

Stable housing provides an opportunity to provide services to address issues frequently faced by homeless people, which encourages stability and an improved quality of life for those served by Housing First and helps foster self-sufficiency.

The report recommends that the housing is best located in the downtown area so it is within walking distance of medical services, stores, schools, social services and food banks.

Since receiving the report in late June, SIGN

convened a meeting of about 30 people, including those who have personal experience with homelessness, to start with implementation of the recommendations.

The recommendations were broken down into specific tasks and assigned to members of the group, who will meet again in August.

The recommendations are achievable, SIGN Executive Director Andrew Sedley says, but will require both dedication to the priorities by the community, and funding. He notes that applying for funding from senior levels of government will be an immediate priority now that the local needs are documented in the housing assessment report.

Some funding programs for housing may only be available to the city, which is a member of the local group.

“If the city, in partnership with our many partners on the housing committee is successful in applying for funding, that would definitely expedite the process,” Sedley notes.

The report was prepared by Praxis Consulting Ltd. of Regina, starting in December of 2020. It was funded by a grant from the Community Housing Transformation Centre, a Canada-wide non-profit and non-government organization founded in 2018 and supported by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) through Canada’s National Housing Strategy. The Centre believes everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to call home and works toward a more entrepreneurial and economically viable model of community housing.

The full report is available on the SIGN website at www.signyorkton.ca.

23 Continued from Page 9 Experience nature at the Ravine Ecological Preserve.

The Preserve offers a diverse 2.8 km hiking trail, which includes a floating boardwalk across the marsh, and then works its way through grassland, and aspen parkland habitat.

Located just off Crescent Avenue and west of the Gallagher Centre, the park is designed to allow people to connect with our natural world through an abundance of birds,

23

plants and animals.

- The Yorkton Flour Mill recently launched a new fundraiser with the announcement of its inaugural ‘Road Rally’, and it is certainly something to check out this summer.

24

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.

There will actually be two rallies running that day, one where vehicles will not have to leave pavement, making it perfect for vintage rides, and one geared more toward pick-up trucks and offroad vehicles.

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.

Entries can be made at yorktonkinsmen.com The rally, with the course designed by the

24 Kinsmen Club starts at 2 p.m. with historic check points 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.

- It’s never too late to get involved in Pokémon Go. It uses the mobile device GPS (cellphone) to locate, capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokémon, which appear as if they are in the player’s real-world location.

Yes there are critters in Yorkton to be wrangled.

The game launched with around 150 species of Pokémon, which had increased to around 600 by 2020.

40 Continued from Page 11 - Enjoy the new playground installed adjacent to the old hospital property at Tupper Park (100 Tupper Avenue). The Tupper Park playground addition was part of an overall plan for the city that included a wheelchair accessible play structure at Weinmaster Park (just off Morrison Drive, in northeast Yorkton).

The universally accessible playground is a play environment created to be wheelchair accessible throughout the entire structure and surrounding play area with more challenging paths of travel or activities along or beside the wheelchair accessible routes. The accessible play structures also allow parents and caregivers to be nearby and play with their children.

Overall, there are

38

more than 35 parks and greenspaces in Yorkton, and if one includes sports fields (ball diamonds and soccer pitches), and buffer/pathway areas, this number jumps to more than 75 individual areas, totalling more than 500 acres.

There are eight current playgrounds; one dog park, one skate park, three natural areas, two disc golf courses, eight tennis courts, five outdoor basketball nets, three spray parks, nine ball diamonds, four soccer pitches, and over 10 kilometers of pathways, including paved, gravel, and grass pathways.

- For a fun place for a photo this summer check out the classic metal train at the Tourism Yorkton location which has been transformed with a colourful yarn-bomb.

According to

39

41

Wikipedia, “Yarn bombing (or yarnbombing) is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colourful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn or fibre rather than paint or chalk. It is also called wool bombing, yarn storming, guerrilla knitting, kniffiti, urban knitting, or graffiti knitting.

The train art was knitted and created by Tonia Vermette and Michelle Easton.

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

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

Then Saturday people will have a chance to get up close to the mud flingers in the morning before they hit what 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.

City Girl Then … City Girl Now Twenty years ago, when I first wrote “Laugh at Life”, I penned parts of the following article. Although we no longer “camp” this way I think it bears repeating for those who do, in hopes that I am not the only person on the face of the earth who feels that they really belong in the CITY. Originally written: July 25, 2001 but still feeling the same …

I have heard the odd woman say that she enjoys camping. To this I say, “Really? Have you ever been to the other side?”

Lets take a realistic look at the camping “holiday”.

It begins with packing.

The entire household must be carried, loaded and then driven from Point A (the comfortable house with AC and every amenity) to Point B (the sandy, insect-infested tent or trailer). This takes hours and, sometimes, days to organize but finally this comes to some sort of end and we’re off!

Typically, only fifteen minutes into the trip, someone wants a drink and someone else needs a bathroom. We, the drivers of this entourage, ignore their cries for help at this early stage.

We press on—pulling the very old tent trailer and trying to pass, and not be one of, the slowest vehicles on the road.

PATTIE JANZEN

Laugh at Life...

Revisited When we must stop, this only serves to irritate the driver who watches with disdain as, at least, ten of the aforementioned slow vehicles pass us by.

Finally, our destination is in sight and I ponder why I would feel remotely excited.

Setting up camp! This is fun for the children, who are ready to race off

Crowns do well even with COVID-19 pandemic Despite the COVID-19 pandemic affecting many businesses and organizations financially, the provinces Crown corporations had a strong year.

In 2020-21, the Crowns recorded $585.4 million and provided $150 million to the General Revenue Fund. This includes positive years for most of the corporations like SGI, SaskTel, SaskPower. However, SaskGaming did struggle as they lost 13.4 million dollars.

S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s Crown corporations also provided $639 million in programming and economic supports to help ease the impact of COVID-19 on Saskatchewan residents and businesses.

Some of those pandemic supports included $285 million for Auto Fund Rebates, $262 million for a 10 per cent rebate on SaskPower bills, $74 million in deferred payments through the Crown Utility Interest Waiver

Program, $8.4 million in oilfield relief through SaskPower, and $8.7 million for SaskTel credits and waived overage data charges.

“While the financial results of the Crown sector are important, equally as important are the economic and social initiatives and programs the Crowns provide,” Crown Investments Corporation Minister Don Morgan said. “To help residents and businesses cope through the pandemic, the Crowns implemented programs that included a utility interest waiver and deferral program and waived numerous fees and charges for residents such as data overage charges to support remote work and learning.”

S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s Crown corporations invested $1.2 billion to ensure utility systems’ safety and integrity and upgrade technology and enhance infrastructure in the province. Capital investments of an aver-

to the park.

After a quick warning about strangers, I turn to see that my husband has already begun to throw our clean, neatly packed things onto the sticky, spider-web laden, birddoo-dooed picnic table. I try to smile as we crank up and zipper close our “holiday home”. My husband and I either fight openly, or a tensionfilled quiet ensues, until the trailer is levered to his satisfaction.

“What’s to eat?” a small voice inquires.

“You’re hungry already?” I ask, glancing at my watch to see it’s been almost six hours since our last meal but only three minutes since their last snack.

Almost magically a meal is made while the rest of the family goes for a much needed swim “to cool off”. After eating, I inform them all that since no dishwasher exists at the lake, everyone must pitch in. After this, they literally run to the lake store where they buy out every disposable dish and fork.

We spray each other with inch-thick bug spray and begin a hike. We don’t see much wildlife.

Even the deer don’t make for much of an adrenalin rush, at least not compared to the one we had in the windshield last year.

Back at camp I settle down and finally reach for my book. No sooner has my head hit the back of the lawn-chair when someone shrieks, “A skunk! A skunk!”

Sure enough, behind our trailer lurks the white-striped beast. We immediately seek out someone to report this to. Of course, when we return, the skunk is gone but somehow we can still tell it’s been there.

“Try to ignore the smell,” I say, as I tuck everyone into their sleeping bags and watch as my husband, the only person on earth who likes this odour, leans back and takes deep, “cleansing” breaths. I reevaluate why I was ever attracted to him, while knocking myself into near oblivion, batting at the mosquito buzzing near my ear.

Maybe going unconscious wouldn’t be so bad.

I heard someone say that camping is the “best holiday” for families to take. I know why—tragedy today—laughs tomorrow. For example … “Remember when Junior got bit by the snake when we didn’t know we were camped over a snake pit?” or “Remember when Mom blew up the camp-stove and we all got stitches?” or “Remember when that bear came into camp and we all huddled in the tent while mom yelled, “Do up the zipper!” What can I say?

I’m a CITY girl!

A LOOK AT THE MODERN BUSINESS WOMAN Women in business often lack the support and funding that have allowed men to be successful. Here are a few of the business organizations in Canada that offer resources, knowledge and encouragement to women.

• Forum for Women Entrepreneurs (fwe.ca) • Women’s Executive Network (wxnetwork.com) • Canadian Association of Women Executives & Entrepreneurs (cawee.net) • Women’s Enterprise Organizations of Canada (weoc.ca)

• Canadian Women’s Chamber of Commerce (canwcc.ca) When women contribute to the business world, they often bring a fresh perspective that helps companies to accelerate their growth. Studies have demonstrated that gender diversity in corporate settings increases productivity and innovation.

What’s more, women tend to bring a more humane leadership style to the table, one based on inclusivity and the empowerment of marginalized voices. This open-minded and collaborative attitude has been shown to improve a corporate team’s

performance, products and decision-making.

OBSTACLES TO OVERCOME Women continue to face numerous challenges in the business world. For one, the wage gap persists with full-time female employees making an average of $0.87 for every dollar earned by men in the same position. This disparity is even wider for women of colour, Indigenous women and recent immigrants.

Additionally, women are less likely than men to apply and be considered for management roles. Often, this is due to implicit

or explicit bias among male employers. Another factor is the persistence of traditional gender roles among many couples, which leave women disproportionately responsible for childcare and household tasks. Without a proper support system, it’s difficult for women to strike a balance and advance in the workplace.

Yet despite these hurdles, many women are thriving in the business world, and companies, as well as communities, are the better for it.

The culture behind certain games So Sept. 24 through Oct. 24, will be Culture Days in Yorkton.

While that is still some weeks away, the idea of board games being a part of a country’s culture did begin percolating.

Certainly, most games are just that, games taken out for fun. Of course some have some definite family ‘roots’ becoming traditions of a sort when the family gathers. I know when I was young Monopoly, so not my favourite game, was brought out at every winter holiday gathering on my Dad’s side of the family. Thankfully there were ‘bowl’ games on the television, although even then American football wasn’t a favourite either.

But, with the idea of Culture Days there are of course games more connected to certain countries where over the decades they have become popular and as a result much-played.

Perhaps the most obvious games come

within the chess and checker families.

On the chess side most are familiar with the ‘western’ version we typically play, but it is hardly the only chess game out there.

Xiangqi, which dates back to around 960, is most certainly chess, and happens to be the version most associated with China, where the sheer population tells you it is much-played.

Interestingly, Changgi, which is played mostly in Korea, is a close relative of Xiangqi, but has some differences.

In Japan chess takes on a significantly different form in Shogi.

Thailand the game of chess is Makruk, and it too has its own flavour.

In Mongolia you would play Shatar if looking for the local chess game.

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com On the checkers side there is the rather wellknown Turkish checkers dating back to around 1400.

There are also slightly different rules for Italian, Brazilian, Spanish and Malaysian checkers too.

Checkers of a different sort include Konane, a version that is certainly fun to play, and coming from Hawaii.

It’s the same sort of thing when it comes to card games, with a num-

ber of countries having common decks quite different from the 52-card, four suit decks, we typically play with.

In Italy, for example you might play Scopa, a game dating back to around 1600. If you watch you occasionally see the game for sale here.

In Japan you find the Hanafuda deck, and of course a number of games that can be played with it. The deck apparently dates back to around 1700.

You see capture games specific to countries as well; Bagh Chal from Nepal a good example, with its root dating back to around 1000.

Parcheesi, or Ludo, is a game that many associate with India, as is the game of Carrom, a fingerflicking game of skill.

The mancala family of games are played in many countries, especially across Africa with differing rules for the same basic game idea depending on the country or region you are playing.

Certainly, with the interconnectedness of the world these days, especially with the Internet, games are played less in the isolation of a particular country, or region, being accessible to a broader audience, but it is inter-

esting how games evolved to become popular in certain locales decades, if not centuries ago.

Of course board games have long been a way for people to come together, with many games have a truly ancient history, Backgammon dating back an estimated 5000 years, and the earliest mention of Go appearing in the ‘Analects’ of Confucius (551-479 BC).

You have to love a game on a cultural level for it to survive, and still be widely played as these two games are.

So next week we’ll look at board games in Canada, but in the meantime it would seem to make sense that board games are part of a month-long cultural celebration in a country as diverse as ours.

For now, SIGN continues cautious approach As the province enters step 3 of Saskatchewan’s Re-Opening Roadmap on July 11 by removing all remaining public health restrictions including masking, the Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbours (SIGN) will keep most safety precautions in place in its facilities and programs.

“For at least four weeks after July 11 we will still have precautions in place to reduce the risk of variants of concern to those that may still be vulnerable,” SIGN Executive Director Andrew Sedley says.

“Masking, screening and the use of personal protective equipment will remain in place for the time being. SIGN will work with our Saskatchewan Health Authority partners, reassessing and readjusting to ensure the health and safety of all.”

He points out that SIGN staff work with many families with young children who have not been vaccinated, so staff will continue to wear masks at all times when meeting with clients. As well, anyone riding in a SIGN vehicle, including Senior Transportation, will be asked to wear a mask.

Staff will also continue to wear visors/eye protection when working in an environment where someone is not wearing a mask.

Ella Kozak secured the win.

Kozak’s win at the Women’s Amateur championship follows Kathy Ziglo, who started her golf career in Yorkton winning in 2019. Ziglo also won in 1995.

Kozak, while only 15, is a veteran golfer now having played in her first tournament eight years ago. She said the Saskatchewan Women’s Amateur championship is certainly her biggest win to-date.

Kozak will try to repeat her effort this weekend in Moose Jaw at the Hillcrest Golf Club as she participates in the Saskatchewan 2021 Junior Championships.

“I just want to play some strong rounds,” she said.

Kozak’s Women’s Amateur championship earns her a spot at the Canadian Amateur Women’s Championship in Spruce Grove, Alberta from July 27 – 29.

LANDSCAPING REAL COUN

Yorkton’s Ella Kozak is the 2021 Saskatchewan Women’s Amateur champion.

The 15-year-old golfer took the lead into the final round on Thursday at Swift Current’s Elmwood Golf Club.

Kozak was pushed

by Autumn Neiszner all the way to the 54th hole but Kozak’s final hole par and round of 77 was enough to edge Neiszner by a single shot.

“It felt really good,” she told Yorkton This Week Friday. “It was certainly a battle towards the end.”

Going into the final day Kozak had an edge, but a thin one.

“I had a two stroke lead going into the last day,” and the pressure just stayed on through the final round. “It was very nerve racking.”

But, Kozak said she wanted the win, and used that desire to focus.

“I tried to just keep calm and finish the round,” she said.

It seemed to be working.

“I was two up with two holes to play,” said Kozak, who watched the runner-up cut the lead in half before her par on 18

A variety of events were held in conjunction with Christmas in July in Springside Saturday.

DSCAPING

It was a celebration of Christmas in July in Springside Saturday with a variety of activities, and even a warm weather visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus.

The event included a chili hotdog lunch, games and crafts for the youngsters, a craft sale for the adults, and the visit by the big man and his Mrs. who arrived in style on a fire truck.

The day was hosted by the Springside Resource Centre.

The centre is a registered non-profit organization, which exists to meet the needs in Springside and area by providing key services and programs. The SCRC will provide a safe space for children, youth, adults, and families to meet, grow, and support one another. They hope to create comfortable settings to get to know neighbours and build relationships within the community and surrounding area.

The centre is located in the former Credit Union building at 211 Railway Ave. in Springside.
