Saving the best for last race day It’s always good to leave the best to last when you are running barrels for a shiny new buckle. And that is exactly what Jenna Salmond and her horse Jack did Sunday evening at the Invermay Fair. Running for the buckle in the top division the tandem turned in a crisp 16.75, the best time of the fair, to take the prize, sponsored by Tasha and Hugh Jack. “I was happy. I was really happy,” Salmond told Yorkton This Week Monday morning. “On the same pattern I had run a 16, so I was hoping.” The run came in front of packed bleachers during the intermission of the Eastern Professional Chariot & Chuckwagon Association racing. Salmond said the atmosphere added to the night. “It was awesome. Especially it being my hometown. It was exciting,” she said. “… It was lots of fun, but a lot of pressure too.” Salmond was quick to praise her mount Jack for the win. “I knew Jack was feeling good. He was really listening to me,” she said,
adding he really ran well. “He always does.” Salmond has always been a barrel racer. “I grew up barrel racing. I did a lot of riding kind of all my life,” she said. And then she married Shayne Salmond and joined a family synonymous with chariot and chuckwagon racing in Saskatchewan. And there was a tie to barrel racing too. Bertina Olafson recently won the $50,000 top prize at the Calgary Stampede in the sport. The Hudson Bay, SK. rider is the daughter of driver Larry Salmond, and cousin to husband Shayne. Naturally the family was following action at the Stampede. “I was very excited for her,” said Jenna Salmond who added she has a couple of younger horses with Olafson breeding that she called “up and coming.” As for watching Olafson, well it wasn’t easy, but they did it. “We were running in Yorkton that weekend,” she said, adding they still followed the event via their cellphones. “We happened to be
racing in Yorkton on ‘Championship Sunday’ (at the Stampede) .We were all glued to our phones and when she made her last run and won the $50,000 we all went crazy with excitement.” Of course Salmond wishes she had been at the Stampede with Jack. She had gone to a qualifier Innisfail, AB., trying to make it to the Stampede. “When I heard about the qualifier for the Calgary stampede I thought what an opportunity. Possibly a once in a life time opportunity for someone like me,” she said. “I decided to enter because I felt like Jack deserved it. He deserved a chance to run against the best horses in the country. “It was pretty short notice so we didn’t have much time to prepare for such a big event. We qualified for round II and our two-run average was just a bit off the top time so we didn’t qualify for the final round. “But I was proud of Jack. I felt like we did very well against such a tough group of barrel racers. Definitely a high-

He’s a huge part of the family ... He was part of our wedding. He’s special. He’s part of all the family pictures,” she enthused. Interestingly Jack did not arrive as a barrel horse, arriving as a chuckwagon horse for husband Shayne. “I was looking for another saddle horse and he said why not break him,” she explained. So she did, and Jack became her barrel horse, well eventually anyway. “We just shared him for a couple of years,” said Jenna, explaining
Jack would run as part of Shayne’s chuckwagon hitch, then be saddled up so Jenna could ride barrels. It was a good arrangement since the chuckwagon association and the Eastern Gymkhana Club typically run the same towns on the same weekends. The dual event work out well for Jenna and Shayne, as the family gets
to follow their passions, but still be together. “I choose to ride most weekends with our eastern gymkhana club so Shayne and the girls and I can race and ride together,” she said, adding the barrel racing is also very competitive. “When our members enter other jackpots, slot races or bigger events they show up very well.”

EDITORIAL
Looking at world differently after COVID During COVID-19 lockdown, people started working and viewing work differently. Many worked from home, and some employers offered flexible schedules to accommodate child care and other responsibilities. This pandemic also exposed inequities that continue to grow in a work regime that’s been around for generations. The 40-hour, five-day workweek became law in the U.S. in 1938, with the Fair Labor Standards Act requiring overtime pay (with some exceptions) for hours above that. Many other countries followed, although Canada didn’t establish a 40-hour week until the 1960s. The Ford Motor Company was ahead of the game, reducing workers’ hours to 40 from 48 in 1926. Henry Ford knew reduced work hours lead to greater productivity, something a recent study from Iceland confirms. Getting to reasonable work hours was a long, difficult struggle, born in a time when employers could compel employees — sometimes children — to work as many as 14 hours a day, seven days a week. A slogan in the 1880s called for, “Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest, eight hours for what we will.” Once the 40-hour workweek was achieved, pushes to shorten it even more began, but stalled. Since implementation of the standard workweek in many industrialized countries, everything has changed about work except the hours — although in some cases they’ve increased! During much of the standard workweek’s history, the norm was for one person in a family (usually a woman) to look after the household while another (usually a man) worked outside the home, which was, for the most part, economically feasible. There was infrastructure to be built, wars to be fought and an oil boom driving a new way of life, especially in North America. Much work had to be done manually, but as
DAVID SUZUKI
Science Matters automation and computerization increased, displacing or marginalizing numerous workers, work hours didn’t drop to reflect the changes. The labour movement deserves some blame, having fought much harder for increased wages and benefits than reduced hours. Declining membership in labour unions has also diminished the united strength of working people. The reality of work during COVID-19 got many people reconsidering hours again. Studies continue to show that reduced hours benefit not just workers, but also employers and society as a whole. Large-scale trials conducted in Iceland between 2015 and 2019 found a four-day workweek increased employees’ well-being, improved health and work-life balance, and reduced stress and burnout. In many cases, productivity also improved. I could have told them that. The David Suzuki Foundation has had a four-day, 34-hour workweek almost since its inception, and it’s been incredibly successful. For the Iceland trials, 2,500 workers (about one per cent of the country’s workforce) from a diverse range of occupations moved from 40 hours a week to a 35- or
36-hour week with no pay reductions. The success led Iceland’s unions (which represent about 90 per cent of workers) to negotiate reduced workhours. Now 86 per cent of the employed population works shorter weeks or has the right to. Changes to work regimes and hours must be designed to reduce growing inequalities in the current system. After all, when people risk their lives for starvation wages while billionaires turn cartwheels in space, something’s wrong. At minimum, pay should stay the same or increase when work hours are reduced. In the absence of an organized labour push in North America and elsewhere, it’s important to shift public service workers to reduced workweeks because governments have “unparalleled control over working conditions within a huge chunk of the labour market,” Will Stronge, research director at the think tank Autonomy, told the Washington Post. Reducing job hours is a good start, but we must also bring our economic and work systems into the 21st century in other ways, with increased minimum wages, vacation time, parental leave, benefits and work-life flexibility. Doing so will create jobs, reduce commuting and pollution, increase well-being, productivity and time with family and friends and — if done right — curtail the rampant consumerism fuelling destruction of the planet’s life-support systems. Most of us have lived with the 40-hour workweek our entire lives, making it difficult to even imagine a better way. But the system is outdated and destructive. It’s time for change. Let’s work on that! David Suzuki is a scientist, broadcaster, author and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation.

Prodael still new to chuckwagons In a sport where most drivers seem to follow in family footsteps, and once in the driver’s seat staying running rigs for years, Stephan Prodael is just a little different. Prodael is only 28, and still very much new to the sport of chariot and chuckwagon racing. “I got my start through Kit Talbot. He used to race. I was friends with his son so I came to a couple of shows,” he told Yorkton This Week just before the start of
Eastern Professional Chariot & Chuckwagon Association races Sunday at Invermay Fair. From there Prodael, who hails from St. Gregor, SK., started to help out at races, and soon he was at the reins himself. “I started in chariots in 2011,” he said. Asked why he decided to run, Prodael paused a moment before answering “it’s just fun to do, and there’s lots of
good people involved.” It helped too that wife Brittany is a barrel racer, “so she likes the horses,” he said, adding her father Grant Pocock raises quarter horses. For a number of years Prodael focused on chariots, but like most everyone in the sport, finally gravitated to chuckwagons. “I just started chuckwagons two years ago in 2019,” he said, adding that he still has limited experience with
no racing in 2020 due to COVID-19, and Invermay being only his second event to-date in 2021. Prodael said he has lots to learn as there is simply more to racing chuckwagons. “It’s definitely more challenging. You have to learn how to drive them. There’s more to concentrate on,” he said. “. . . I’m definitely still learning. Every trip around the track on the wagon I’m learning something new.” Prodael likes racing
though, and heads out to events as often as he can. “All the weekend shows. It’s hard to make the week shows,” he said, adding he works for Mumby Manufacturing Ltd at Muenster. When on the road Prodael carries seven horses to events. “It’s all the race horses I’ve got. They come along every weekend,” he said. While most of his horses were purchased, one was not, and that horse makes Prodael smile.
“We have one horse on my wagon that we raised,” he said. “It feels good to have a horse you raised of your own on a hook.” While Prodael knows he still has much to learn, he is ready to go to school every weekend. “Getting into a wagon, I really enjoy running a wagon,” he said.

Pentago a fine thrift store find If you are a dedicated board gamer favourite places to peruse are likely thrift stores and garage sales. There are often some great finds to be had – albeit with a certain level of generally low cost risk involved. You can find games such as Othello or Backgammon, as examples, at rather reasonable prices, but since games have a lot of pieces, you might find one or two missing, which may be why somebody sent them to the thrift store in the first place. In the above mentioned games substitute pieces are pretty easy to fashion, or you can just use the games for pieces to bodger ‘do it yourself’ efforts, so it’s not the end of the world given the low cost. But, there are some super finds too. Our little group loves Blokus. The copy on the game room shelf was a thrift find for $2.99. The pieces were still in unopened bags. The game, which is a great four-player abstract strategy game, has probably cost us a penny per
play per player since. Another great find was a deluxe Scrabble game, one on a table that rotates. On Amazon it’s well over $200, and it was a thrift find for under $10. Then there are games that are both great finds, and reminders that there is risk to such purchases. The game in question is Pentago. It has been on the radar for ages, never quite rising to the top of the list whenever mad money allowed for a game order, but still a game of interest. So seeing it for $4.99 made it a quick purchase. Pentago is an abstract strategy game for two players with four 3×3 grids arranged into a larger 6×6 grid. The goal is to place marbles in turn on the board until someone manages five-in-a-row. The marbles were the missing element in the thrift store buy, three black and a white. Fortunately, those are easy to borrow from other games in the collection, so it was not a huge issue. The game has earned

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com a bunch of accolades since it was first released in 2005 including; 2005 Game of the Year in Sweden
2006 Best Strategy Game France 2006 Game of the Year Finland 2007 Toy of the Year Belgium
2006 Mensa Select Winner The awards might seem unusual for a fivein-a-row game – Pente being one of the best of the genre – but Pentago adds a rather interesting mechanic. After placing a marble, with a few early game exceptions, you must turn one of the four 3X3 sections 90 degrees. So the board is always changing requiring an understanding of what can happen with each twist as you work to create five-in-a-row.
The game, which has been published by a number of different companies with various editions, has sold more than one million copies worldwide. That speaks to Pentago’s popularity. The thrift find is a very nice wooden board version, with great black and white marbles, so aesthetically it is very pleasing. With simple to learn rules, and lots of depth to discover, this is a great find indeed.

Fastball Musuem officially opening By Calvin Daniels
Staff Writer
After opening to a limited audience in 2020 due to COVID-19, the Westman Border Fastball Museum is set to hold its ‘official’ opening Aug. 14 and 15. The weekend of activities will highlight games featuring the alumni of the Inglis Nightmares and Border Selects, and a game featuring
players from Saskatchewan versus those from Manitoba, explained Daryl Nernberg, cofounder of the WBFM. The Museum located at Asessippi Beach and Campground started two years ago, when Rick Goraluk had an idea to bring together fastball teams, former players and their families from the past 60 years and have a reunion at the campground. As part of the reunion, Nernberg, took three
weeks to collect fastball memorabilia from the teams that regularly played in tournaments on both sides of the provincial border. From there a collective of sports enthusiasts came together to preserve the rich fastball history that has taken place over the last 90 years, creating the museum. At the fastball museum, visitors can explore the rich past dug up by a dedicated
team of volunteers. Teams featured in the museum include the Colts and Braves from Langenburg, the Flames and Cougars from Churchbridge, the IMC team based out of Esterhazy, the Esterhazy Extreme, and the Atwater Steelers. Teams from Calder, Gerald, MacNutt and Wroxton are also forever preserved in the museum; and more than 130 teams who played border fastball
between Manitoba and Saskatchewan are on the museum’s list. There are over 50 teams at the moment with donated memorabilia and that number will grow. Most recently a jersey was donated by the Rhein Rockets, along with a trophy the team won several years ago. The campground and museum can be found 20 KMs north of Russell, MB.
Bear looking for fresh start following Oilers’ trade with Carolina Hurricanes By Sam Laskaris, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter -
(Windspeaker.com)
Ethan Bear is even more keen for his next hockey season to commence. The 24-year-old defenceman, a Cree from Ochapowace Nation in Saskatchewan, will no longer be suiting up for the Edmonton Oilers. That’s because the National Hockey League squad traded Bear this past week to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for forward Warren Foegele. “I’m really excited for this fresh start,” Bear said in his Hurricanes’ introductory press conference. “I’m excited. I want to work hard. And honestly just prove myself again.” The Oilers had selected Bear in the fifth round, 124th over-all, in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. He had spent his entire pro career with the Edmonton organization. Before turning pro, Bear spent four seasons with the same junior franchise, the Seattle Thunderbirds of the Western Hockey League.
He had never been traded before last week’s deal. “This is the first time I’ve experienced this,” Bear said of the trade. “Honestly, it’s been a pretty crazy couple of days.” Bear was a popular member of the Oilers’ roster. And he’s considered a role model for Indigenous youth across North America for making it to the NHL. Though his First Nation is in Saskatchewan, he was still considered a local product in Edmonton since he was playing in Alberta, another western Canadian province. “Obviously I have a lot of support and a lot of people who are going to miss me here,” said Bear, who attended the virtual press conference from his Edmonton home. “But at the same time, I’m excited to be a Hurricane and to get to Carolina.” Bear also expressed some relief that he will now be playing in Raleigh, the North Carolina city which is not deemed a hot hockey market. “Honestly, I’m really looking forward to it,” he
said. “It was nice to be not that far away from home (in Edmonton). But at the same time, you always have somebody coming in and somebody always needs something so in a sense it is a relief.” Bear and his Edmonton teammates are no doubt disappointed with the way things ended during their 2021 campaign. The NHL season, which traditionally begins in October, didn’t start until January because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Oilers, who were participating in a seventeam, all-Canadian division, posted an impressive 35-19-2 regular season mark. Bear and his teammates were hoping for a lengthy playoff run but were upset 4-0 in their opening-round, best-ofseven series by the Winnipeg Jets. Afterwards, Bear had racist comments directed his way on social media as some felt his miscues were to blame for the club’s season-ending Game 4 loss. Plenty of support poured in for Bear after

news of the racist comments were made public. Bear did not register a point in the Oilers’ four playoff contests. And he admittedly did not have as good a regular season as the year before. During the 2019-20 campaign Bear had what was deemed a breakout season, accumulating 21 points in 71 matches. But in the abbreviated 2021 season, in which he missed some action with a concussion, he had eight points, including just two goals, in 41 games. “Obviously I didn’t have as good a season as I would have liked,” he said. “I’m just going to use that as motivation going forward.” In part because of his
past—he averaged more than a point per game in his final junior season in Seattle racking up 70 points in 67 games— some believe Bear is capable of becoming an elite NHL defenceman. “That’s hard to say,” he said when asked whether he believes he’s capable of eventually being on a top defensive pairing for an NHL club. “That’s something I can’t really control right now. All I can say is I’m willing to work hard. I’m going to make sure my diet is good and I’m training every day and just come to the camp in the best shape possible.” Bear realizes he will have to make a new impression not only on the Hurricanes’ coaching
staff but also with the club’s fans. Carolina is in the league’s Eastern Conference, unlike the Oilers who are in the Western Conference, so many team supporters might not be too familiar with him as there have not been many opportunities to see him play. “I know I can contribute in pretty much all aspects of the game,” Bear said, describing his play. “I think I’m a pretty well-rounded, two-way defenceman. I really enjoying defending. It’s a fun part for me. I’ve always taken big pride in it. But you know when you can get in on a rush and create something on the blueline, I think that’s where you have the most fun in the game.”
Developing antiviral drugs to treat COVID-19 infections SASKATOON – The rapid development of safe and effective vaccines has helped bring the pandemic under control. However, with the rise of variants and an uneven global distribution of vaccines, COVID19 is a disease we will have to manage for some time. Antiviral drugs that target the way the virus replicates may be the best option for treating outbreaks of COVID-19 in unvaccinated and under-vaccinated populations. Using the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of
Saskatchewan, researchers from the University of Alberta (U of A) have isolated some promising inhibitors that could be used to treat COVID-19 infections. The scientists used the synchrotron remotely during the facility’s special COVID19 call for proposals, an initiative created to support research to help fight the pandemic. The team’s findings have been recently published in the European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry. “With the help of the CLS, and the multiple teams here at the U of A, including the old lab and

the Young lab in the Department of Biochemistry, Vederas lab in the Department of Chemistry, and Tyrrell team in Medical Microbiology and I m m u n o l o g y Department, we’ve been very efficient at developing a group of inhibitors that is very promising,” said Joanne Lemieux, a professor at the U of A. The synchrotron creates light millions of times brighter than the sun that helps researchers to find very detailed information about their samples. Lemieux and colleagues used the CMCF beamline at the CLS to search for molecules that could stop SARS-CoV-2 — the virus that causes COVID-19 — from replicating inside human cells. The team found inhibitors that target a special kind of protein called a protease, which is used by the virus to make more copies of itself. Proteases act like an axe and help the virus chop up large proteins. Without this protein, the virus would be unable to multiply and harm human health. “One of the inhibitors that we used as our Continued on Page 11

Waiting for A Better Pop-Up
I don’t know about you but I have a short attention span and am often easily distracted. Since I use technology much more often these days this has become more of a nuisance with information “popping up” and moving across the screen at inopportune times. I try to ignore these but, being in a foul mood recently about the weight I’ve gained during the past yearand-a-half, one of these caught my eye. The sudden “pop-up” read … “Click on this! We promise to help you lose the weight you desperately need to lose, in just one week!” I fleetingly wondered if the camera on my computer was on and some smart alec in cyber-land was just then watching me, but I then fixated on the promise and clicked on it anyway. The next screens’ caption read: How would you explain your problem? Click ONE: 1. Mommy belly. 2. Stressed out belly. 3. Hormonal belly. 4. Alcohol belly. After immediately wondering why there wouldn’t be a number 5. “All-of-the-above belly”, I then thought, “Where’s the Chips-and-Dips belly?!” Because I couldn’t possibly choose just one, and knowing that losing this amount of weight in “just one week” is an absolute impossibility, I scrolled onto other things.
PATTIE JANZEN
Laugh at Life... Revisited The kicker is I could do something about this, and have MANY times, but somehow I always slip back into eating too much of the food I actually like, and it becomes all for naught. Lets just say—I’ve enjoyed being many different women: I mean—sizes. I’ve read tons of literature from the many experts that claim they “have the secret to weight loss success” and I’ve even proven some right, more than one time, by losing rather impressive amounts of weight. But, I’ve also proven some wrong—like the study that stated ‘once you do something for six months it becomes a part of you and you will have the habit for
life’. I was, clearly, not part of this study as proven by the treadmill I’d used daily for over a year and which has since sat in the corner of our basement gathering dust. Similar to a sudden “pop-up”, in the past there has always been a pivotal moment that has spurred me to hop on various diet trains. My mind will instantly snap into gear and I start, in an almost obsessivecompulsive-like frame of mind, to lose the pounds. Once I was on a treadmill and as I began my pathetic attempt at running, my arm moved in such a way that the posterior flab that hung there flew right past me, almost knocking me over. I took that as a sign and began another diet. Another time I was simply on a hike with people who were all thinner and in much better shape than I. I’m actually not sure why they invited me along but I suspect it was for the only reason possible—to make themselves feel so much better. As I huffed and puffed after only one kilometre of the fairly flat-earthed hike, I knew things had to change. I suspect I will soon have another “moment” that will propel me out of my current, shockingly sedentary lifestyle and into yet another diet. Who knows? Maybe it will come in the form of a better “pop-up”.
Quebec bug outbreaks could provide answers for struggling Sask. caribou By Nick Pearce, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Saskatoon
StarPhoenix) Tiny bugs in Quebec
could be carrying clues about the future of some of the most iconic ani-
mals in Saskatchewan. University of Saskatchewan Professor
Philip McLoughlin is one of the authors of a new paper that found outbreaks of spruce budworms, which also appear in Saskatchewan, are impacting caribou populations. “It’s bound to also be a factor in other places, including possibly northern Saskatchewan,” McLoughlin said. Woodland Caribou have been listed under the Federal Species at Risk Act (SARA) since 2003. A 2019 study by the University of Saskatchewan’s department of biology pegged their numbers provincially at around 4,000. The study in Quebec found that budworm outbreaks can start a flush of vegetation that attracts moose, but also draws in wolves who will pick off caribou when given the chance, McLoughlin said. There’s fewer moose in Saskatchewan, but he suspects a very similar process can happen with deer. “Almost all of (the caribou’s) mortality from predation is due to wolves,” he said. “Caribou are kind of in a tight spot. When you have more wolves on the landscape, they don’t tend to persist.” Salvage logging — which applies to areas that have experienced damage from things like fires or insects — can magnify those problems, he said. The practice “isn’t as benign as we think,” he said.
“If humans go ahead and log that area it magnifies the impacts to caribou, because it makes the habitat better for wolves to access (them).” The province’s 2019 caribou plan indicated “that much of the Saskatchewan woodland caribou population is at risk from landscapelevel disturbance.” In the areas studied, the province found humans disturb about 19 per cent of high-potential habitats. It set a goal to leave roughly 80 per cent unaffected. With a wildfire season in Saskatchewan that’s more than doubled the five-year average, McLoughlin thinks it may be worth considering the impact on caribou when salvage logging burned areas. There are other worries. An area of active research for McLoughlin is the possibility that the landscape changes he’s studying could lead to crossover between caribou and deer afflicted with chronic wasting disease. That can have serious repercussions for northern Saskatchewan as a doorstep to caribou ranges that stretch all the way to the Arctic, he said. “If we lose caribou, we know that there’s something that’s tipped out of balance,” he said. “And for the most part we can easily point our finger at ourselves.”

Personal path to reconciliation: Saskatoon youth cycling to deliver moccasins to Sask. residential school sites By Nick Pearce, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Saskatoon StarPhoenix) B’yauling Toni is pedalling 3,000 kilometres to deliver a pair of children’s moccasins to each of the 20 federally recognized residential school sites in Saskatchewan. Toni set out in the early hours of Monday morning, armed with a small tent and a sleeping bag as he makes the month-long journey unsupported. He doesn’t have a funding target, but the trip is meant to encourage donations to the Orange Shirt Society, he said. “We should all take our own personal (paths) and use them to to reconcile with Indigenous peoples in Canada and to understand what happened,” he said. Toni, who isn’t Indigenous, organized the trip with Allison Forsberg shortly after she created a speaker’s event called Bring Them Home as an alternative to Canada Day celebrations. Forsberg, who is Cree, was surprised at how quickly the idea came together. The pair were soon consulting on how to do the project respectfully and met with
Chokecherry Studios, which directed them to a grant to support the trip. The organization also facilitated collecting the trip’s moccasins, which are made by Saskatoon youth. When oppressed groups work with those who are more privileged, “it’s often seen as the ones who are privileged just coming in and taking the spot. You see a lot (of that) happening for sure,” Forsberg said. However, she sees this project as more about “informing yourself” and Toni as “really trying to learn as a settler.” Forsberg says young people’s contributions can often be dismissed, but she sees projects like the trip as an example of their potential. “We could still work (toward) trying to make our community a better, safer place. And (to also) create understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities,” she said. It’s also not Toni’s first cross-country trip. In 2019, he returned from an unsupported journey across the world that totalled about 31,000 kilometres. Toni says this month’s journey reflects how he personally could contribute to reconciliation,

ANTIVIRAL DRUGS Continued from Page 6 benchmark starting point was one that was developed to treat a feline coronavirus,” Lemieux said. “This was not an optimal inhibitor given the dosage for humans, which is why new derivatives needed to be made in order to provide patients with a lower dosage.” While SARS-CoV-2 and its cousins SARS and MERS cause serious respiratory diseases, coronaviruses are also responsible for a wide range of illnesses in humans and animals. Lemieux stated that the proteases are very similar among the different coronaviruses.
“It’s likely that any antiviral that is developed for one coronavirus would also be a broad specificity inhibitor that could treat a variety of coronavirus infections, including those found in animals,” Lemieux said. Over the past decade, oral antiviral medication has become more accessible to patients in need. There are oral protease inhibitors that treat and manage symptoms for diseases like HIV and Hepatitis C. This research team wants to help make SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors available in a pill form, which would make it easier to treat COVID-19. Lemieux’s team is not alone in their
quest for antivirals that will help treat diseases like COVID-19. Pfizer, the pharmaceutical company behind the successful mRNA vaccine, is moving its antivirals to stage one clinical trials. Lemieux sees this as a sign that her group has been headed in the right direction. “With many people working around the world developing antivirals targeting proteases, there is very likely to be one or more antivirals on the market,” Lemieux said. “This would enable ease of accessibility for people around the world, especially in regions or populations where vaccines are not an
option.” Without the help of the synchrotron, Lemieux says their research would be incomplete. CLS technology allows scientists to visualize how drug candidates work at the molecular level. “It’s crucial in optimizing drug development,” she said. “The personnel at CLS have been extremely helpful, especially during the pandemic when things had to be conducted remotely. It’s wonderful to have this facility here in Canada, enhancing the international reputation of Canadian research,” Lemieux said.

Sudbury woman holds ceremonial Water Walk for the Saskatchewan River By Colleen Romaniuk, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (The Sudbury Star) A Sudbury woman of Plains Cree ancestry is conducting a 1,900-km ceremonial water walk for the Saskatchewan River this summer. Tasha Beeds, who recently completed a walk for Sudbury’s Junction Creek in May, and nine other core walkers began their journey at Saskatchewan Crossing near the river’s headwaters in the Rocky Mountains last month. The group will follow the north tributary as it flows eastward, eventually joining Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, on a journey that will take two to three months. Beeds, who is of nêhiyaw, Scottish-Metis, and Bajan ancestry, is traversing her maternal ancestral territories to raise awareness about the water crisis and honour the teachings of her late mentor. “Our overall goal as water walkers is to amplify the voice of the water because we see the water as a living entity,” said Beeds shortly after wrapping up a walk that brought her group just east of Edmonton on July 30. “If you think about that and you think about what’s going on with the waters today, she is basically screaming out loud for us to pay attention.”

Tasha Beeds of Sudbury and nine other core walkers are conducting a ceremonial Water Walk for the Saskatchewan River. As part of the ceremonial water walk, Beeds and her companions lifted the waters from Saskatchewan Crossing into a copper pail. Accompanied by someone carrying an Eagle Water Staff, the women will carry this copper pail “relay-style” for up to 50 km per day, traversing wilderness and roadway until they reach their destination. This will be the first of four water walks that Beeds must commit to in Saskatchewan as per the protocols of the ceremony. “Traditionally, it is men or two-spirit people that carry the Eagle Staff, and those who can give life carry the water,” said Beeds. “We’re the only doorway through which life can enter. Just like we carry life, and we carry that water inside our bodies to give life, we carry this water across Indigenous territories to
remind creation that we remember. We remember who we are as Indigenous people, and we remember our obligation to the future.” Beeds has been a water walker for 10 years and has covered nearly 7,000 km walking alongside each of the Great Lakes in addition to the Kawartha Lakes and the Otonabee River in southern Ontario. Her 135-km walk for Junction Creek in the Anishinaabe territories of N’Swakamok or Sudbury culminated at the Spanish Indian Residential School grounds in Spanish. With the help of the Midewiwin of Minweyweywigaan and Three Fires Lodges, Beeds held a ceremony there for residential school survivors, their families, and the children who never made it home. Beeds was mentored under the respected A n i s h i n a a b e
Grandmother and late Three Fires Lodge Mide Kwe water walker Biidaasige-Ba or Josephine-Ba Mandamin (the “Ba” is used as a marker of one who has passed on) in addition to other Elders and knowledge holders. The water walk, said Beeds, is first and foremost for the water – to recognize its significance to all of the Indigenous nations who historically relied upon the water “for life and movement.” As she travels alongside the Saskatchewan River, Beeds said she has had the chance to see the landscape from the lens of the water. “It’s a different way of seeing the landscape. It’s quite incredible, actually, but it’s also quite frightening,” she said. “Because one of the things we’ve noticed is that there’s so little water. There’s no snow on the glaciers. The ground is so dry. It seems far away, but look at the
fires happening right now in Northern Ontario. What happens here is going to make its way eastward.” It is imperative that we take action to mitigate the impacts of climate change right now, she added. “Until it’s at your doorstep, you don’t think about your actions. But our actions today are going to impact future generations. The change that’s coming isn’t going to happen 50 years from now. It’s going to happen in our lifetime,” said Beeds. “Josephine-Ba used to say that we can turn things around if we discontinue our negligence. The water is giving us humans a very urgent message that we need a shift. We’re devastating the ecosystem. Without water, we’re endangering all of life.” Beeds is joined on her walk for the Saskatchewan River by Kahtéraks QuinneyGoodleaf, who is Kanien’kehá:ka (Mohawk) from Kahnawake and nêhiyaw (Plains Cree) from Onion Lake; Michaela Merasty, who is of Woodlands Cree and Scottish descent; Anishinaabe Kwe Linda Manitowabi from Wiikwemkoong; and twospirit Metis artist Marjorie Beauchamp. Under the umbrella of truth and reconciliation, settler and Unitarian Minister Karen FraserGitlitz is also participating.
The water walkers are actively fundraising for their journey. The group’s GoFundMe campaign has already raised more than $7,000 towards their cause, but they need ongoing community support to meet their goal. Their support van alone cost $4,000 and additional funds for Elder honourariums, nourishment, walking supplies, accommodations, and earth-friendly PPE are needed. “We’ve gotten tremendous support from First Nations communities and individuals so far, but we would like to see contributions from nonIndigenous people, as well,” said Beeds. “There have been discounts on hotel rooms, a free night-stay at an Airbnb, but it would be a beautiful act of reconciliation if someone stepped up and said, I will pay for your support van because you are making a difference.” The water walkers are respecting provincial safety guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic to protect everyone’s health during their journey. The water walk is being documented virtually over social media platforms. Anyone interested in contributing to the cause, joining the water walk, or following Beeds’ journey can visit www.linktr. ee/SaskRiverWaterWalk for more information.
Here’s the nitty-gritty on rural road safety The August Traffic Safety Spotlight offers some tips on how to safely travel on rural roads. If you live in Saskatchewan, at some point you will need to drive on a rural road to get where you’re going. A
network of unpaved and gravel grid roads connect us to main highways, but these roads can be a challenge to navigate for

some drivers, especially those who don’t drive them every day. There are more than 3,000 collisions on rural roads each year, resulting in 514 injuries and 25 deaths annually, on average*. Because these crashes often hap-

critical care flight paramedic and director, provincial operations. “Rural roads present different dangers for drivers. That’s why obeying speed limits and using extra caution is so important. It only takes a second to lose control.” “A collision can happen any place, any time,” said Penny McCune, Chief Operating Officer of the Auto Fund. “Always respect the roads you are driving on, whether paved, gravel or otherwise. Take speed limits seriously and remember that they’re maximum speeds for driving safely under ideal conditions.”
So, when the rubber meets the road – always consider what type of road you are travelling on. When driving on gravel surfaces, deep and loose gravel can make it more difficult to steer around curves. When a gravel/unpaved road is dry, the resulting dust may cause visibility issues for drivers and, when wet, these roads may provide less traction. Slow down. Even the best-maintained gravel roads can have rough sections or loose gravel, which require slower speeds. Stay back. Continued on Page 15

Research reveals extraordinary rates of rare neuromuscular disorder in Indigenous people in Saskatchewan The disease is known to have a higher prevalence in certain global populations due to genetic founder effects. A founder effect occurs when a genetic mutation is present within a relatively small population. Over time the mutation can become prevalent as the population grows and affected individuals with the disease share the common ancestor(s). Schellenberg collaborated with neurologist Dr. Gerald Pfeffer (MD), from the University of Calgary, to do further genetic analysis of patients with the disease. Work by his research team revealed that there are shared genetic markers around the mutation in most of the patients, which shows that the high prevalence is due to a founder effect. His team estimated that the founder lived approximately 250 years ago. Most people with Kennedy’s Disease in this study identify as Cree and Saulteaux, though not all the people who identified as Indigenous were able to identify their ancestral nations. When Schellenberg and Pfeffer realized how high the percent of Indigenous patients with the disease was, they reached out to Dr.
RURAL ROAD ings, crossroads, t-intersections, farm entrances, wildlife, livestock, and farm vehicles, which all require extra attention. Keep your eyes peeled. Dust can greatly decrease your visibility on rural roads. Leave enough room between your vehicle and the one ahead so you can react appropriately. Always buckle up.

The Kings, with support from pewaseskwan staff, guided them on how to engage in a culturally safe manner with the patients. They helped by creating a Community Guiding Circle and assisted with meeting during which the research findings were shared with the participants. “Before we presented the information to anybody else, we had a meeting with the participants of that research study. We presented it and then we sat down and listened. It became clear that this was of strong interest to people, and they wanted to see the project move forward,” Schellenberg said. The patients want to better understand the disease and its high prevalence in their communities and get better resources and aware-
ness. They also expressed interested in having the researchers connect with Elders, Knowledge Holders and community leaders to discuss the findings. The research team has received a $50,000 grant from the Kennedy’s Disease Association to
continue this research. They will expand the work to Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Thunder Bay, Ont., and do more research with patients in Saskatoon. As they recruit participants in the new sites, they will also expand the Community Guiding

Continued from Page 12 Leave at least a sixsecond following distance between other vehicles. It could take longer to stop, and an appropriate following distance can help prevent stone chips. Only pass when necessary and safe to do so. Make sure the pass is legal and safe. Do not pass on the crest of a hill, before a curve, at intersections, or where visibility is limited. Stay on the beaten path. When driving on gravel, drive in the tire tracks already on the road when possible. Never drive impaired. This goes for all roads, of course, but impaired driving causes an average of 12 fatalities on rural roads each year*, often from single vehicle collisions. Pay attention. Drivers on rural roads are also more likely to encounter railway cross-

DSCAPING
SASKATOON – Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) and University of Calgary have found unusually high rates of Spinal Bulbar Muscular Atrophy, also known as Kennedy’s Disease, a rare neuromuscular disorder, among Indigenous people in Saskatchewan. The research findings, published in the journal Neurology Genetics, revealed that among people of Indigenous descent in Saskatchewan the rate of Kennedy’s Disease is 14.7/100,000, compared with the average rate of one to two per 100,000. Of the participants in the study in the Prairie provinces, 83 per cent self-identified as Indigenous. “Several of us who have practices in neuromuscular disease in the Prairie provinces and Ontario have suspected that there is a much higher prevalence in our Indigenous population,” said researcher Dr. Kerri Schellenberg (MD), associate professor of neurology at USask and the medical director of the ALS Clinic at Saskatoon’s City Hospital. However, this had not previously been recognized or discussed in the medical literature, and the significance of this observation was unknown. Kennedy’s Disease is a hereditary disease that affects motor neurons that exit the brain stem and spinal cord into mus-
cles of face, throat, arms, legs, and lungs. It causes weakness, cramps, muscle twitches in arms and legs, and affects speaking, swallowing, and breathing.
