Alumni Ron and Jane Graham’s $5.9M gift assists vaccine research, Huskie Athletics, engineering and education students at USask Saskatoon – The University of Saskatchewan’s (USask) most generous alumni, Ron and Jane Graham, are supporting Huskie Athletics, the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO), the College of Education, and the College of Engineering with a multimillion-dollar donation. The Grahams’ donation includes contributions of $3 million to Huskie Athletics, $1 million to VIDO, $1 million to the College of Education and $900,000 to the College of Engineering. “Ron and Jane Graham have set an exceptionally high standard of giving

to the University of Saskatchewan and we are deeply grateful for their ongoing support,” said USask President Peter Stoicheff. “Their gifts elevate teaching, learning and the student experience at USask. The impact of their several donations through the years spans generations of students. By investing in critical research and visionary spaces, the Grahams continue to support our university’s response to global issues.” Jane and Ron Graham are the largest cumulative alumni donors in USask’s history. “Jane and I have always had a passion for helping students and signature areas at USask,”

lish VIDO as Canada’s Centre for Pandemic Research—a national centre that will support the response to future human and animal infectious diseases. This includes building a new animal housing facility, and upgrading key areas of its facility to Level 4 containment, which would allow researchers to study all existing and emerging infectious diseases. The College of Education is a recipient of $1 million to support the Jane and Ron Graham Centre for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Established with the couple’s $1-million donation in 2019, the centre supports applied research in the area of teaching and learning in higher education. Unique in North America, the centre now offers the first graduate degree in the scholarship of teaching and learning

in Canada. The donation will further support the development and application of innovative education practices that will impact and transform multiple academic disciplines. The $5.9-million donation also includes $900,000 to the College of Engineering. A $500,000 gift supported development of the college’s newly launched RE-ENGINEERED program for first-year students, featuring completely redesigned course content and class scheduling, as well as grading that prioritizes helping students gain key skills. The college’s Ron and Jane Graham School of Professional Development (SoPD) will use a $400,000 contribution from the Grahams to support a project co-ordinator who will monitor and evaluate initial outcomes of the RE-ENGINEERED program and help develop

a suite of professional development opportunities for engineering students, alumni and other professionals. Founded in 2012, the SoPD offers courses and certificates in areas such as communication, tech entrepreneurship and leadership. Other notable projects the Grahams have funded include the addition of the dedicated training basketball courts to Merlis Belsher Place, development of the Ron and Jane Graham Sport Science and Health Centre at Merlis Belsher Place, and expansion of the Graham Huskie Clubhouse at Griffiths Stadium. In 2018, the gymnasium floor at the Physical Activity Complex on campus at USask was redesigned and named “Ron and Jane Graham Centre Court” in recognition of their contributions.

Scientists tackle indoor air pollution Saskatoon – People on average spend nearly 90% of their time indoors and, especially in the cold winter months in Canada, this statistic can be even higher. With all that time spent indoors, filtering out pollutants from indoor air is very important for the health of Canadians. Researchers from the College of Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) have been developing a catalyst for a new type of air purifying technique that would clean air at room temperature. “Ozone is one of the strongest purifying agents that has been used in the water treatment industry for a long time. In our research, we use ozone and an effective catalyst to purify indoor air from Volatile Organic Compounds or VOCs,” explained PhD student Mehraneh Ghavami. Ghavami and coresearcher Dr. Jafar Soltan used the HXMA beamline at the

Canadian Light Source (CLS) at USask to discover which types of metal catalysts would work best for eliminating pollutants out of the air and recently published their findings. Their air purifying system uses ozone gas and a catalyst to remove indoor air pollutants and turn them into carbon dioxide and water. Air pollutants such as VOCs are commonly found in indoor environments. They enter our homes and workplaces through items like cleaning products and new furniture. These air pollutants cause undesirable health effects, such as headaches, fatigue, nausea, and irritation of the ears, nose, and throat. “We know that the concentration of VOCs is usually high in indoor air – up to 10 times higher than in outdoor air,” said Ghavami. “So, it’s very important to have a system to provide fresh and clean air for us.” The aim of their

research is to make a better catalyst and apply it in the real world. Ghavami believes their findings could be implemented in every building that automatically cleans the air, including businesses, schools, and homes. “We already see catalysts in many different fields, including in cars,” explained Ghavami. “I can imagine some kind of device that uses a layer of a catalyst.” The team, while currently working to eliminate VOCs, is already beginning to research how to eliminate another kinds of pollutants such as bacteria or viruses. “Right now, we are working on VOCs that are chemicals,” said Ghavami. “We want to try this work on bacteria, viruses, and even the virus that causes COVID19.” She already had some ideas about other versions of catalysts to try for her team’s next research projects.

T-rex Discovery Centre sets attendance record Saskatchewan’s T. rex Discovery Centre (TRDC), home of Scotty, the world’s largest Tyrannosaurus rex, set a new attendance record for the 2021 season. This year’s attendance of 12,250 visitors through the gates greatly eclipses the previous mark of 10,440, set in 2018. “I am very pleased to see that so many people were able to enjoy the T. rex Discovery Centre in Eastend and the diverse array of paleontological exhibits, programs and events that they offer,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. “I encourage people to take the opportunity to check out Scotty and the rest of the Discovery Centre’s amazing programming when it opens again next year.”

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the TRDC was not open in 2020, but re-opened in late May. Guests were able to visit the world’s largest Tyrannosaurus rex specimen, in addition to checking out the new Paleo Lab and some of the latest discoveries by Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) paleontologists. Located at #1 T. rex Drive in Eastend, the centre is open from the May long weekend until Labour Day. It is an hour-and-a-half drive from Swift Current, or an hour drive from Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park. In addition to the new TRDC attendance record, a favourite attraction at the RSM in Regina is making its long-awaited return later this week - Megamunch is back. Unlike his ferocious ancestors that lived

here over 65 million years ago, this half-sized robotic Tyrannosaurus rex really likes children (to play with, not to eat), and greets them with a “friendly” roar each time he sees them. The first of his kind in Canada, Megamunch currently resides next to the RSM theatre. For more information about the RSM and TRDC, programming, or to learn how you can support the RSM’s world-class research, visit us at https:// royalsaskmuseum.ca/, or on Facebook (@Royal. Saskatchewan.Museum), Twitter (@royalsaskmuseum) or Instagram (@RoyalSaskMuseum). Admission is by donation.

Province on the hunt for chronic wasting disease cases Nick Pearce Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (The StarPhoenix) Saskatchewan hunters are on the watch for chronic wasting disease lurking among some game animals. The province is asking hunters to send in the heads of deer, moose and elk this season for testing, which is free for any of those species harvested in any wildlife management zone in the province. CWD is a fatal nervous system disease that infects animals like deer. An afflicted animal can appear normal for years, but will eventually display warning signs like weight loss and poor coordination before dying. The disease has no cure and is currently found in 56 of

Saskatchewan’s 83 wildlife management zones, the province said in a news release. Cases were found in 466 of about 3,000 samples collected last year, said Ministry of Environment wildlife health specialist Iga Stasiak. Thirty-two

per cent of mule deer and nine per cent of white tail deer tested positive. After the disease was found in five moose last year, the province is encouraging hunters to send in samples of the animals — especially in areas where CWD occurs

among deer, Stasiak said. The province also wants samples from regions in the east and south. Another key area is near the boreal forest, which would allow researchers to learn more about the risk posed to animals like

threatened woodland caribou. Hunters need a CWD tracking number before dropping off heads at locations across the province. There are no recorded instances of the disease among humans, but

ROAD LIVIN’

hunters are encouraged to refrain from eating or distributing meat from animals that have tested positive. Testing is vital, as CWD’s “overall trends and infection rates are increasing across the province,” Stasiak said.

EDITORIAL Let’s tip the scales toward justice Humanity seems to be teetering on the brink. On one hand, we know that rapidly shifting from coal, oil and gas to renewable energy, along with protecting and restoring carbon sinks like forests and wetlands, will go a long way to slowing the worsening impacts of climate disruption. We know that women’s rights, family planning services, access to birth control and education are the best ways to stabilize population growth and provide greater opportunities for more people. On the other hand, a relatively small but vocal and influential number of people, egged on by corporate PR and money, have politicized these issues of fundamental human rights and survival. We only have to look south to see how it’s unfolding. Take Texas. It’s enacting draconian laws, unchallenged by the U.S. Supreme Court, that make it illegal to even consider terminating a pregnancy or helping anyone who does — with vigilantes empowered to go after the suspected “offenders.” Other U.S. states are expected to follow. Voting rights are being eroded in many states. Climate regulations are subject to the whims of people who pocket massive donations from the industries most affected. Things aren’t great here, either, as we head into another “first past the post” election in which the top contenders support pipelines and fossil fuels while unveiling climate plans that wouldn’t be adequate even if they were followed rigorously. Canada has yet to meet a climate target. We don’t appear to have as much blatant appetite for taking away rights from women and non-white people as the U.S., but we can’t be complacent. Change happens quickly. Authoritarian movements are rising around the world, and they’re never good news. Most oppose basic rights, including freedom of expression, and

DAVID SUZUKI

Science Matters women’s and LGBTQ2+ rights, and show little interest in addressing crises like the climate and extinction emergencies. It’s hard not to be overcome with anger and despair. For decades, scientists have warned that humans have become so numerous, powerful and greedy that we’re threatening our own survival by destroying nature. Yet it took Greta Thunberg — a youth with no hidden agenda or investment in the status quo — to make millions aware of the simple truth: if we continue to live as we do, children have no chance for a future. Just as everything in nature, including us, is interconnected, so too are our major crises — and their solutions. Most environmental problems, including climate change, are a result of an economic model that was never very healthy, with its reliance on wasteful consumerism and car culture, but that we now know to be archaic and destructive. Working people have fallen behind while corporate heads and their politician friends amass ever greater wealth, the gap between rich and poor widening daily. Richer countries tear apart and plunder poorer countries and Indigenous lands in the name of progress and profit. Women’s rights are curtailed to

prevent them from getting in the way of patriarchal imperatives. The best way to tilt things to the side of good is to get involved and stand up for increased human rights, real climate action, environmental protection and replacing outdated economic systems. But it’s easy for those of us who have enjoyed the most privileges to be complacent. Sure, we see increasing wildfires, floods and droughts, record temperatures and anxious families and friends, and we see hard-fought women’s rights being overturned in the U.S. and elsewhere, but most of us can still drive to the grocery store, fly somewhere nice for vacation and keep our homes and workplaces at a constant, comfortable temperature year-round. With climate disruption, what we do now will have impacts decades from now. If we stop using fossil fuels overnight, the excess emissions we’ve already pumped into the atmosphere will remain for decades. The more we emit, the worse it will get. And if we don’t protect and strengthen human rights, they’ll continue to erode, with severe long-term consequences. Sometimes it’s overwhelming to keep up with everything that’s happening when we all have our own immediate concerns. But doing something positive can be empowering. Even examining the various party platforms for positions on key issues, especially climate, before voting is a good step. Those who would strip away rights and ignore the climate crisis are a minority — but they’ve been more vocal. Let’s change that.

Sandy Beach hosts annual disc golf event By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Sandy Beach on Good Spirit Lake held another successful disc golf tournament Sept. 11, with 35 registered golfers for the annual event. After 18 baskets had been thrown, Nate Wolos from Sandy Beach finished with an amazing minus-eight on his score card for the best finish of the day. Brother Jas Wolos at minus-six was close behind, and newcomer Chris Nataucappo finished the day at minus-two. Nataucappo was also closest-to-the-pin and had the longest drive for men, while Kristen Schmidt from Southey gathered the closest-to-the-pin and longest drive for the ladies. Organizers of the event also sent out a huge ‘thanks’ to the many generous event sponsors, which allowed everyone to go home with a terrific prize.

Saskatoon – According to the latest figures from the Saskatchewan Coroners Service, the province is on track to have 378 overdose deaths this year—continuing a tragic upward trend that began in 2016. As part of a research study called P5 Project YXE, researchers in the University of Saskatchewan’s (USask) School of Public Health are talking to people in Saskatoon who have experience with problematic substance use, to hear their ideas on what changes to programs and policies could help improve addiction care locally and provincially. Adjunct faculty member Dr. Barb Fornssler (PhD) and her team are interviewing 20 white collar workers, 20 blue collar workers, and 20 “no collar” or underemployed individuals who have experienced a disruption in their relationships or employment as a result of substance use. They want to learn

how people in different economic groups access addiction services—or whether people avoid seeking support because of stigma or fears over losing their job. Fornssler said the research literature as well as local service providers they talked to in an earlier project (Consolidating perspectives on the nature of Saskatoon’s evolving opioid crisis) highlight the need to speak directly with people who use substances, to ensure their experience informs decisions. “We have this old habit of having people who are not impacted by the policies they’re making sitting around the policy table,” said Fornssler. Staff at Prairie Harm Reduction (PHR) in Saskatoon, the province’s only safe consumption site, are encouraging their clients to participate in the study and providing a computer and quiet space for people to speak with researchers. Jason Mercredi, executive director of PHR, said his clients often want to make their stories heard

and have the public to know what’s going on. “One thing I like about Saskatchewan is we’re big on pragmatism and pragmatic approaches,” said Mercredi. “In order for us to have that, we need to have the voices of people with lived experiences at the forefront.” Current policies about addiction services—what Fornssler calls legacy policies-are not grounded in current evidence and thus not meeting the needs of individuals who use substances. She said that while there’s been similar research done in other Canadian cities— including Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto— Saskatchewan has its own unique geography, political context, and culture, so we can’t simply plug and play solutions that have worked elsewhere. Fornssler—a selfdescribed “pie in the sky thinker”—hopes the project leads to a change in perceptions around substance use. “These are our friends and family,” she said. “They are doctors and

lawyers, these are all folks we meet on a dayto-day basis...and many of them are struggling with substance use in some form. That’s not a shameful thing. That is a very common thing.”

Pandemic reminds of headlines When a group of guys get together at a gaming table the bravado and competitiveness can surface rather quickly. The core of our little ‘guild’ has been playing for a rather long time. My son was just a wee tot when he sat on my knee rolling my dice for Dungeons & Dragons, and a couple of others that still join in were there back then too, but we are still competitive to the point of argument over rather minor things. So when we first delved into a co-operative game it was a bit of a departure, although an RPG usually relies on players co-operating to succeed. But on a board, well that was new. We were lucky that our first co-op game, where we really needed to work as a cohesive unit to beat ‘the game’ was Pandemic. From designer Matt Leacock, Pandemic was

first released in 2008, and the game met great reviews. Simply put, Pandemic is a great game which pits up to four players against the game itself. In this case you are working to quell a worldwide pandemic (which maybe didn’t resonate as much in 2008 as it does now). The game is not easy to win, which is both frustrating and enticing. It can be downright maddening to lose before really getting started, or to be mere moves away from victory only to have one of the lose conditions kick-in. Of course back to our generally competitive nature, we generally just restart with hopes of doing better. The game released in 2008 is now one that is easily a modern classic, and there are not a great many games I’d assign that moniker. However, Pandemic

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com has actually gotten better through the years. Things started with some expansions, which are now common enough among games. The add-ons were all right, although far from stellar. But, when Pandemic: Iberia released in 2016 they sort of cherry-picked the best ideas from the expansions, upped the art and changed the era

Three USask researchers become fellows in the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences Saskatoon – Three University of Saskatchewan (USask) leaders and researchers have been inducted as fellows into the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS): Dr. Volker Gerdts (DVM, PhD), Dr. Walter Siqueira (DDS, PhD) and Dr. Cheryl Waldner (DVM, PhD). “We congratulate these exceptional scholars, who exemplify USask’s strength and diversity in health research,” said USask Vice-President Research Baljit Singh. “Their leadership unlocks the creativity, innovation and community potential of interdisciplinary exploration.”

The Canadian Academy of Health Sciences (CAHS) is one of three national academies that comprise the Council of Canadian Academies, the highest honour granted to scholars in Canada. (The other two CCA academies are the Royal Society of Canada and the Canadian Academy of Engineering.) Fellows of the Academy are elected based on their demonstrated leadership, creativity, distinctive competencies and commitment to advancing academic health sciences. A total of 73 new fellows were inducted to the CAHS on Sept. 13.

of the game, and generally created a better version of the original game. The game has also been reworked several times with new rules and themes, while keeping the base idea of co-operating to beat the game, with the odds against you remaining intact. Pandemic: Reign of Cthulhu released in 2016, Pandemic: Rising Tide in

2017, and Pandemic: Fall of Rome in 2018, all have their own flavour and are well worth playing as an alternative. Then there are the legacy versions of Pandemic, which really have an RPG feel to them. Players again face the challenge of beating a pandemic, but as you play each module the game alters to the point of adding stickers to the board to change the original lay-out, and tearing up certain cards never to be used again. Legacy games are generally one play through and done forever, but it’s still typically eight-10 hours of play time so the value is still high, and the fun higher. It is just awesome seeing the game

actually change as you go through, sometimes ‘winning’ a module, often failing. There are now three ‘legacy’ games, season one and two, and then a season zero came out in 2020. Our group loved the experience of Season one, and are in the midst of season two, which has more board changes involved and is harder in general, but still loads of fun. Season zero will be a must have too. There are a lot of options once you play Pandemic and fall for it, but every one of the varied expansions and rethemes is worth playing. A winner for nearly 15 years now.

Should the Flyers be able to find players and a manager they would return to the SEHL but time is running out.

Healthy harvest A major fundraiser for The Health Foundation in recent years has been ‘Farming For Health’ where crop is planted and harvested, much of the work provided by volunteers, with the crop then sold and the profits being used to

fund Foundation initiatives. Friday the combines were out harvesting canola on land just south of the city provided by the City of Yorkton for the annual initiative.

DELIGHTFUL FALL ACTIVITIES As the leaves turn shades of yellow, orange and red, it’s hard to deny that fall is a beautiful season. Here are just some of the ways you can make the most of the next few months. 1. PICK FRUITS AND VEGGIES Visit a farm, orchard or vineyard in your area to collect your own apples, cranberries, grapes, artichokes, beets, carrots, peppers, potatoes, pumpkins

and more. Consider picking enough to make preserves for the months ahead. 2. TEND TO YOUR GARDEN If you want beautiful blooms in the spring, be sure to plant crocuses, daffodils, hyacinths, tulips and other bulbs before the temperature drops. You can also take advantage of endof-season sales to fill your garden with beautiful perennials at a low price. 3. WATCH MIGRATORY BIRDS Depending on where you live, your area might be a prime location to spot flocks of geese, sparrows, ducks, shorebirds and other migratory species as they make their way to warmer climates for the winter.

ZUCCHINI BREAD When you add zucchini to lightly sweetened bread, the result is impossible to resist. Start to finish: 1 hour 10 minutes (10 minutes active) Servings: 4 Ingredients: • 2 zucchinis • 2 eggs • 2/3 cup melted butter tter • 1/2 cup sugar • 1/2 cup brown sugar • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon nna namonn • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract • 1 teaspoon baking soda • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg • 2 cups flour

• 1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped h Directions 1. Preheat the oven to 177 C (350 F). Grease a 25 by 12 centimetre loaf pan. 2. Cut off the ends of the zucchinis, then grate them using a cheese grater. Place the grated zucchini in a large bowl, and combine it with all the other ingredients except the flour and nuts. Incorporate everything until the mixture has a uniform texture. Add the flour and mix well. Repeat with the nuts. 3. Pour the mixture into the pan, and bake for about 60 minutes or until a fork inserted in the centre of the bread comes out clean. Let cool, then slice and serve.

4. ENGAGE IN OUTDOOR SPORTS Fall is an ideal time of year to enjoy the great outdoors. From hiking, biking and kayaking to rock climbing, fishing and horseback riding, there are plenty of ways to combine exercise with being outside in the fresh autumn air. Whether you’re looking for an activity to enjoy alone, with your partner or alongside your family, there’s no shortage of ways to have fun in the fall.

TIPS TO MAKE YOUR OUTFITS FALL-READY As the temperature drops and the days get shorter, it’s time to rethink your outfits so you can stay stylish and warm this season. Here are some tips to keep in mind. 1. OPT FOR LAYERS To ensure you’re comfortable all day long, dress in layers so you can add or remove pieces as the temperature changes. Additionally, don’t be afraid to mix textures. Women, for example, can pair a blouse with a cardigan or wear a long knit sweater over a sundress. For men, consider the classic combination of a collared shirt with a wool jacket. 2. USE ACCESSORIES If you have timeless pieces such as a well-cut pair of jeans

or a classic black dress, all you have to do is swap out your accessories to suit the season. In the fall, use hats, scarves and gloves to vary your style and stay warm. Complete the look with a large tote bag that you can use to carry an umbrella or extra sweater. 3. PRIORITIZE COMFORT From knit dresses and oversized sweaters to flannel jackets and leather ankle boots, you can mix and match various pieces to create both casual and formal outfits without compromising on comfort or style. If you want to upgrade your wardrobe for the fall, be sure to visit the stores in your area.

Two Weeks of Paranoia - Week One I don’t know about you but lately I’ve found it more and more challenging to find the humour in much of anything. In fact, the words “The world’s gone mad!” have fallen out of my mouth more than once in the last few weeks. So, in an attempt to revive my funny bone I’ve tried to see levity in things that have caused me recent upset and paranoia. It is arguable that I am tipping over sanity’s edge but nonetheless …

PATTIE JANZEN

I was driving on the highway and suddenly a picture of a cup of coffee flashed on my dashboard. The message over it read, “Would you like to stop for a rest?”

Laugh at Life... Revisited

I realized that I hadn’t slept well that night but I felt that my vehicle should not be “sensing” my exhaustion, much less making such an audacious suggestion even though I’d strayed over the yellow line a couple of times. It’s not bad enough that this vehicle has the ability to brake for me, now it flashes hints about my state of being? It’s sad enough that most people can’t navigate a manual transmission (says the woman who only learned at the age of forty) but soon we won’t need the common sense it takes to slow down when we see an object looming ahead of us. At least my vehicle doesn’t have the “let me parallel park for you” option.

If I couldn’t do that, well, it would just be embarrassing (unless you’re handicapped. That’s valid). But having said that, my husband was a big fan of the “extras” this vehicle does contain and encouraged me to get it. What does THAT say? (Well … I guess we all know what that says.) After years of getting hoards of ridiculous emails in my “JUNK” folder, I didn’t receive any last Sunday, when the usual bulk of them seem to be sent. Instead of rejoicing that I didn’t have any of those to delete, I frowned instead. Had my email address been obliterated? Was my phone experiencing a crisis? What was happening?! I then did something I thought would

really help … I shook my phone! This … did not help but in my defence, I was in a state of shock that the perverts and bogus scammers, who had previously thought of me, had … what? Slept in? Of course, the next day I knew they hadn’t … and then I rolled my eyes at my own idiocy. My mother recently visited. Many times I’ve wondered if I received any of my genes from her since she has reminded me often enough that I am much more like my father was. Once in a while, however, I see glimpses of the similarities her and I do share. Sometimes it irks me but other times … We were sitting in the living room late at night, discussing world affairs. After agreeing with me about the apparent madness in the world she ceased speaking but I continued my rant. I stopped, however, when I realized that she’d fallen silent. She was looking at me, pointedly, and then quietly said, “Well … some people should’ve never had that slap on their bottom to help them breathe when they were born.” I rolled with peels of laughter—while trying not to take that personally. I love her so much and I clearly got much of my warped sense of humour from her. In Two Weeks … more of my weird paranoia and the funniest fortune cookie I’ve ever read!

Council learns of rail safety work By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton Council received and filed a presentation on rail safety from CN Police Cst. Henry Neumiller at its regular meeting Monday. In 2020 in North America, there were 1992 collisions with trains, resulting in over 958 serious injuries or fatalities, he told Council. In 2020 the total number of incidents, in Canada decreased to 187, with 57 fatalities, and 31 serious injuries. In 2020, Saskatchewan saw 14 incidents, resulting in one serious injury and two fatalities. Neumiller said working around trains is simply a dangerous thing. “It’s a dangerous industry with huge equipment moving very fast,” he said. To help raise awareness of safety issues National Rail Safety Week runs Sept. 20-26, and in Saskatchewan the provincial government has officially proclaimed Rail Safety Week. This year, the Ministry of Highways and the Canadian Safety Train Express are reminding everyone to stay safe around trains and ‘Stop Track Tragedies’, noted a provincial release. “Our government recognizes how vital rail transportation is in Saskatchewan and how important it is to be safe when encountering both trains and crossings,” Highways Minister Fred Bradshaw said. “Railways make up a sig-

nificant portion of our transportation network and are absolutely essential to the success of our economy, but if people aren’t aware of proper safety measures, they can also present a potential danger.” “Rail Safety Week highlights the importance of stop, look and listen,” Canadian Safety Train Express CEO Perry Pellin said. “During these difficult times, people’s attention is often elsewhere, and it is important to remember that trains can come at any time and in any direction. We need to work at preventing those incidents that are preventable with more care and attention at railway grade crossings. Rail Safety Week is a good place to start.” Neumiller told Council, during the Railway Safety Week 2020, Operation Lifesaver in collaboration with Mattel created the “Stay safe with Thomas” project, based on the popular Thomas and friend’s series. This year Operation Lifesaver will be continuing the “Stay safe with Thomas” campaign with the release of a new Thomas and Friends book promoting railway safety to children. In addition, on Sept. 21, Operation Lifesaver launches Operation Clear Track. This is the largest Railway safety enforcement initiative in North America. Law enforcement agencies from across North America put forth a joint effort to conduct strategic enforcement

to reduce the number of incidents involving the railway and ultimately save lives. Yorkton Council unanimously supported filing the rail presenta-

tion. Saskatchewan has 13 operational, privatelyowned shortline railways. These operate on more than 2,000 kilometres of track and con-

nect to more than 6,000 kilometres of federallyregulated track. Motorists with any questions or concerns regarding railway safety, signage, work zones and

more are welcome to reach out to the Highway Customer Service Centre at 1-844-SK-HIWAY, Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., or visit us online anytime.

SK flavour to pair of books from Snook By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer

“I love fiction writing, so I would be writing whether people read my books or not,” offered Snook. “That said, I’ve received some amazing compliments over the years from fans of the books. “One person mentioned it was a go-to book for them to make them feel better when they have really hard days, because it makes them feel lighter. Giving people something light and silly to break away from reality for a little while is one of the things I like most about putting my books in people’s hands. “Another person said that their teenaged son loved my first book and that it was the first fiction book they read from start to finish and that he couldn’t wait to read the next one. Having someone thank you for sparking their child’s love of reading is just about the best compliment I could ask for.”

If you like books with a quirky sense of humour woven into a world not quite our own yet still familiar, then the Remy Delemme series from Canadian author Andrew Snook might be just right for you. “They’re designed to be light, fun reads,” Snook told Yorkton This Week. To start with, the books take place a number of years into the future in a fictional version of Canada and the U.S. called Glamerica, which has become one country. Remy’s Dilemma (Book I) takes place in Quebec and Ontario, while the follow-up Remy’s Dilemma: Special Delivery takes place across Western Canada. And Snook explained Book III is in the process of being written and will take place across Atlantic Canada. Snook said it is important he writes about locales he knows.

Of course there were challenges, even for a writer with an extensive background including most recently branching out on his own to start up Snookbooks Publishing, his own content creation company where he works with companies, associations, publishers and independent writers to help them tell their stories through his writing and editing services.

“One thing a little different about the Remy series is that I only write Remy into places that I have been myself,” he said. “I think it’s a fun way to add little nuggets of truth into the ridiculous story.

“Writing while juggling work, raising children and making time for my wife and I can definitely be a challenge,” said Snook. “To complete Book I, I did most of my writing in the early mornings when everyone was asleep -- we had one child then.

He added it is something he can draw on from part of his background as a writer for a couple of businessto-business publications. “My work as a B2B editor has taken me across the country to every province multiple times and into many small towns and areas that most Canadians never get to see,” said Snook. Interestingly, Saskatchewan ends up playing a sort of central role in terms of the future Snook envisions. “I placed the capital of Glamerica in Saskatchewan because I thought it would be a fun surprise for readers, something different,” he said, adding “the book has brief stops in Prince Albert, Meadow Lake and Saskatoon, and Remy befriends a silly character who calls the province home on his journey. “I’ve been to several areas of the province for work, including Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert, Meadow Lake, Big River, Carrot River and Lloydminster (also briefly mentioned in the book).” The second book was ultimately a bit of a gypsy creation. “I also wrote all of Book II on the road while travelling for work over a 3.5-year period, in more than 60 towns and cities, including four in Saskatchewan (Saskatoon, Carrot River, Meadow Lake and Prince Albert),” said Snook. The full list of towns and cities visited is published in the back of Book II. So what about the quirkiness? Well in ‘Remy’s Dilemma’ the world is coming to an end. That’s what Remy Delemme believes, anyways. While double-checking his lifelong to-do list to ensure he has led a rich life, he realizes he hasn’t come close to completing his goals, relates a synopsis provided by Snook. Panicked and short on time, Remy embarks on a chaotic road trip to complete the most important item on his bucket list – finding the answer to man’s greatest question. There’s just one problem. Then there’s Detective Tobias Gray, the most respected criminal profiler in the Toronto Police Department, thinks Remy is a serial killer; and he’s not the only one who has come to that conclusion. Armed with a green crayon, smiley-faced stamp and a pack of cigarettes in a race against time, the story’s main character, Remy, carves a path of hilarious destruction, baffling and infuriating the police, his government and every other person he encounters.” And, the weirdness continues in book two.

Author Andrew Snook uses Saskatchewan as a key setting for his two books. In ‘Remy’s Dilemma: Special Delivery’ Remy finds himself detained in Prince Albert, arrested for crimes against the Glamerican government. To earn his freedom and avoid incarceration, a confused yet cooperative Remy is forced to work as a shadow agent for the government, explained Snook’s synopsis. Unfortunately for them, Remy isn’t the criminal genius they pegged him for (nor is he even a regular kind of genius), and he inadvertently sets off a series of events that could spell doom for the entire world. Meanwhile, Toronto police detective Tobias Gray attempts to track him down and rescue Rose Maheen, the love of Remy’s life who has mysteriously gone missing. Along with a cast of wickedly funny characters, including a grizzly moose addicted to maple beans and a retired curler turned philosophical hobo, the bumbling but ever-endearing Remy sets off across Western Canada on the adventure of his life, encountering exploding museums, train derailments and chaos galore everywhere he goes.” It’s all rather ‘over-the-top’ silliness and that was what Snook really set out to write, or at least it evolved that way. “The idea for the first book started with a strange dream I had while living in Wolfville attending Acadia University,” said Snook. “I thought it was really interesting, so I decided to sit down with my computer and start typing. I wrote for about 12 hours. Over the next nine months I put together my first novella called Wasted Days (2003-04). Many years later, I gutted the novella and re-wrote it into Remy’s Dilemma.” And somewhere in the process the idea for additional books came to light. “No. I didn’t really have a plan when I first started writing,” said Snook. “As I put the first book together, I really like the idea of having three separate books with Remy causing chaos in different regions of Canada.” But why did he think the book(s) worth writing?

“For Book II, I wrote it entirely while on the road because I wanted to make sure I dedicated my time at home to my family.” In his writing, Snook takes a somewhat unique approach. “As for the flow, I prefer to write the Remy books one character at a time, starting with Remy,” he said. “I write Remy causing all his chaos then write all the other characters around him. I find this flow works better for me then trying to write chapter to chapter, which I’ve also done.” While humour can be difficult to get just right in writing, that part came more easily for Snook. “Fortunately, the humour comes naturally to me. It’s just my dorkiness being scribbled onto paper,” he said. So what does Snook think is the best aspect of the books? That’s “hard to say,” he noted. “I love writing all of Remy’s ridiculous antics and popping in little nuggets of Canadiana wherever I can.” And, in the end he’s generally happy with what he has created. “I’m pretty satisfied with my books,” said Snook. “I feel like I’ve learned a lot from my novella writing days in 2004 and 2006, which were very rough, to Book I of the Remy series and then to Book II of the Remy series, and into Book III and the other writing projects I’m currently working on (a choose-your-own adventure, dice-rolling battle book called Dungeon Jest coming out this fall and my first children’s book, which will come out before Christmas). Remy’s Dilemma and Remy’s Dilemma: Special Delivery are available on a wide variety of channels. The printed version and eBooks can be ordered off of Friesen Press, Amazon Kindle, Chapters Indigo, Kobo, iBooks and Google Play.

Quick harvest progress being made Producers continued to make quick progress in their harvest operations this week. Seventy-four per cent of the crop has been combined, up from 56 per cent last week and well ahead of the five-year (2016-2020) average of 50 per cent for this time of year. An additional 17 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Warm and dry weather is desired to continue drying down crops and allow harvest to continue without delay. 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 A week without scattered rain showers in the region has allowed for good harvest progress to be made in the region. Sixty-three per cent of the crop has been combined, up from 38 per cent last week and ahead of the five-year (2016-2020) average for this time of year of 40 per cent. An additional 26 per cent of the crop is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Recent cool, damp temperatures from the previous week is causing

some of the crop to come off tough and needing to be placed into aeration bins or dried. Minimal rainfall was received in much of the east-central region. The highest amount of rain received this past week was six mm in the Foam Lake area. The Elfros area received five mm and the Wynyard, Kuroki and Kelvington areas received one mm. Warm, dry conditions are desired to aid with harvest progress, but many are hoping for high amounts of precipitation after harvest to replenish topsoil and subsoil moisture. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 49 per cent adequate, 34 per cent short and 17 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as 38 per cent adequate, 40 per cent short and 22 per cent very short. Durum grades in the region are currently being estimated as 25 per cent 1 CW, 40 per cent 2 CW, 14 per cent 3 CW and 21 per cent 4 and 5 CW. Pea grades are estimated as 48 per cent 1 CAN, 46 per cent 2 CAN and six per cent 3 CAN. Lentil grades are estimated to be 35 per cent 1 CAN, 53 per cent 2 CAN and 12 per cent 3 CAN. The majority of crop damage past week was due to wind and drought.

Wind has caused swaths to blow around and for crops to shell out. There was one report of a light ground frost; due to the progress of harvest and how mature crops are in the region it is unlikely this frost caused very much damage at all. Producers are busy combining, swathing, baling and hauling bales. Provincially, harvest is most advanced in the southwest region, where 85 per cent of the crop is in the bin. The southeast has 81 per cent combined, the west-central 79 per cent, the east-central 63 per cent, the northeast 69 per cent and the northwest 57 per cent. Ninety-nine per cent of lentils, 98 per cent of field peas, 86 per cent of mustard, 82 per cent of barley, 89 per cent of durum, 83 per cent of spring wheat, 54 per cent of canola and 25 per cent of flax has now been combined. An additional 34 per cent of canola

is swathed or ready to straight-cut. Durum grades are being estimated as 27 per cent 1 CW, 34 per cent 2 CW, 28 per cent 3 CW and eleven per cent 4 and 5 CW. Pea grades are estimated as 25 per cent 1 CAN, 62 per cent 2 CAN, 12 per cent 3 CAN and one per cent Sample grade.

The Shaunavon and Gull Lake areas received the highest amount of rain with 15 mm. Topsoil moisture conditions in the province continue to deteriorate due to strong winds and minimal rainfall. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as 36 per cent adequate, 38 per cent short and 26 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil

moisture is rated as 21 per cent adequate, 44 per cent short and 35 per cent very short. The majority of crop damage this week was due to hail, wind and dry conditions. Frost was recorded in one RM in the northwest region; damage will vary depending on the temperature and duration of the frost as well as the stage of the crop. At this point in the season, the damage will likely be minimal as most crops are matured enough to withstand a minimal frost. Wind has continued to blow swaths and shell out crops. There were also reports of damage caused by wildlife and waterfowl. Producers are busy combining, swathing, hauling bales and moving cattle. Post-harvest activities are well underway where harvest has finished up and producers hope the weather holds out so that fall herbicide and fertilizer applications can be carried out without issue. With harvest underway in Saskatchewan, we want to remind producers to exercise caution and remain safe. As of September 1, the AgriRecovery program, now referred to as the 2021 CanadaSaskatchewan Drought Response Initiative,

is accepting producer applications. The initiative will consist of two payments totaling up to $200/head for cattle, with adjustments based on animal unit equivalents for other livestock. The initial payment will provide producers with $100 per breeding female equivalent in inventory as of August 1, 2021. Secondary payments of up to $100 per breeding female in inventory as of December 31, 2021, will be made to producers who have incurred additional costs to retain the animals. Producers with questions can call the initiative’s dedicated toll-free number at 1-844723-1211 or directly by email. We would like to also remind producers that the Farm Stress Line is available for support if you need it. It is a confidential service, available 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week, toll-free at 1-800-667-4442. Calls are answered by Mobile Crisis Services Regina, a non-profit, communitybased agency and there is no call display.

Wagantall returned in Yorkton-Melville By Tanner Wallace-Scribner Staff Writer The Yorkton-Melville riding will remain under Conservative leadership once again as Cathay Wagantall won the election. Wagantall received over 22,900 votes or just over 69 per cent of the votes. “It’s even more honouring to be able to continue to serve the riding of Yorkton-Melville,” she said, “I’ve never had so much engagement directly calling, emailing, asking so many questions and having so many concerns. The results show that they had the confidence in me with the answers I was able to give them and that trust, and that means more than I can imagine to be able to go to the hill and to represent YorktonMelville and continue to do my best to represent them and see more done for rural Canada.” Wagantall beat five other candidates with Halsten David Rust (NDP) coming in second with 3,957 votes (12%), Braden Robertson (PPC) followed up with 3,150 votes (9.5%), then Jordan Ames-Sinclair (Liberal), who received 1,949 (5.9%), then Denise Loucks (Maverick Party), and Valerie Brooks (Green

Cathay Wagantall was easily returned for another term as Yorkton-Melville Member of Parliament in Monday’s federal election. Party) receiving less than 2% of the vote with Loucks getting 583 votes, and Brooks getting 560 votes. Federally, Wagantall said it wasn’t what they wanted, but it just means there is more work to do. “It’s been tough, and COVID-19 has really complicated that and their (Liberal government) approach to it and shutting down the House of Commons. I certainly hope we get back to business the way it should be

done in the house and take advantage of our opportunities because we are an essential service, every other country has their Government operating in full swing, and I will push hard that we have that opportunity to do that. There is a lot of things that are important to me, but the divisiveness has been really difficult, so I want to see us come together in ways that have not been possible because of the approach that the

Federal Government has taken, so certainly hoping we can make a change there.” Wagantall said that she feels Canada is once again divided. “There is a challenge there with even way the election went again, where our decisions are not reflected in the broader pictures,” she said. “I do want to take a look at the fact the PPC played a role in this. There are many seats where they caused

that vote to divide and to split up the middle and the Liberals to come through. There were opportunities there if we had worked together that there was a potential to form Government, so we have to look at ourselves as well, and there is no question that our freedoms are at stake in Canada now, and we need to work together to see those things dealt with in a way that pleases us out here in the West. I can tell you it’s not just

rural Canada in the West, the things that impact us here impact rural Ontario as well, so I am looking forward to working with other folks from that area to really push the influence of rural Canada and our impact on the GDP of this country and the prosperity of this country.” Wagantall added that her campaign would not have been successful without the amazing team of volunteers that she had this year.

Woodland Wonder Walk set Autumn is a time to get out and enjoy the crisp air and changing foliage of the beautiful outdoors. This year’s Culture Days is adding a little something extra to encourage walkers and wanderers to explore the great outdoors on one of Yorkton’s nature walks, the Yorkton Ravine Ecological Preserve with Yorkton Woodlands Wonder Walk. Twila Napoleoni, an Art Educator, is one of the many collaborators of Culture Days 2021 here in Yorkton. Inspired by a similar trail at Candle Lake, Napoleoni brought back the idea to bring the community of Yorkton together in a very fun and equally safe art adventure. It consists of community members creating an outdoors miniature woodlands creature home, and then placing it somewhere

alongside the trail so that those who pass by will be able to enjoy a miniature world of wonderful art. Who can participate? Everyone. Whether you’re young or old, by yourself, with your family or want to get a group of friends or co-workers together, anyone can participate. It’s simple. Find a base (tree rounds, boards, a wooden box, etc.), gather natural objects, and create a little home. It’s important to remember that your creation will be sitting outside in the elements, so you may not want to include anything that can get ruined when wet. Napoleoni suggests using old flower pots, stones, moss, sticks, and anything else that your imagination comes up with. The art work can be placed any time between Sept 24 and Oct. 24.

Art students at Dreambuilders have already started creating their pieces for the Yorkton Woodlands Wonder Walk. The earlier it’s placed, the more people will see it. Everyone who participates will need to take their creation off the trail by Oct. 24. If you don’t want to create, then you are still welcome to come down and enjoy what surprises the trail has to offer.

Need inspiration and would like to build your house with a group of others? Napoleoni will be holding a workshop Sunday, Sept. 26 at 2 pm at the Gallagher Centre. While this event is free, you will still need to register at 306-641-5395 as space is limited. - Submitted

Adam’s curling career marked By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton’s Gerry Adam has been inducted into the Governor General’s Curling Club of Canada. The Governor General’s Curling Club is an organization under the patronage of the Governor General of Canada, since its inception by Lord Dufferin in 1874. It has as its members those who have served the sport for an extended time with significant achievement and distinction locally, provincially, nationally and internationally and whose selection is endorsed by the sitting Governor General of Canada. In addition to Adam others inducted were Rob Dewhirst of Regina, Dianne Barker and Norm Daley of Kamloops, BC, Ken Duggan and Laura Lochanski of Edmonton and Rick Mutton of Winnipeg. “I was kind of shocked,” Adam told Yorkton This Week. “For a small town Saskatchewan boy from Tonkin to even get nominated ... it’s quite overwhelming ... You don’t expect honours like this.” For Adam it truly has been a lifetime of involvement in the sport. “I would probably Trucking & Transport

have been eight, nine when mom and dad took me to the Tonkin Curling Rink,” he said. At the time three Pearce brothers ran the rink, and Adam said they took a liking to him, and let him out onto the ice to throw rocks while his parents socialized. “I was 12 or 13 before I got into real games,” he added. It was a common enough way to start years ago, but today not so much. “The two-sheeter (curling rink) are few and far between now,” said Adam, although the Tonkin rink is still there. The small local rinks that have been disappearing, were once the hotbed of the sport, a place everyone in a community seemed to gather to throw rocks. “You had two choices play hockey, or you curled. The curling rink in Tonkin we went there all the time,” said Adam, adding it was rare the youth who went into nearby Yorkton for basketball or volleyball when he was growing up. Today, it’s harder to get youth to curl. “Young people have so much opportunity to play different sports now.

Curling is a small percentage of what they can do,” said Adam. For Adam the early introduction to curling fostered a passion for the sport, and he developed to become one of Saskatchewan’s best. When asked for a highlight the answer came quickly. “It would be the first time we went to the Brier in Edmonton (in 1999),” said Adam who was part of the Warren Shymko team representing Saskatchewan. Adam was 36 at the time and admitted he was beginning to think he would never make it to ‘the Show’ as the Brier was known among those in the sport. “It was a dream to go to the ‘Big Show’,” he said. Adam has also worked tirelessly behind the scenes for the sport in more recent years helping Yorkton host major world curling events with teams from across Canada and the world descending on the city to curl including the 2020 Meridian Canadian Open. “For the club those were great moments,” he said. The Governor

General’s Curling Club of Canada held its 147th annual meeting (AGM) in Regina Sept. 13. In tribute to the 50th year of membership for Canadian curling icon and resident of Regina Ernie Richardson, the meeting was held in his home-town. Adam said Richardson “is the idol of all idols” for curlers in the province, and while having met him before, to again have the opportunity to talk with the curling legend at such a gala evening was definitely a big part of the night. “It is a true privilege for Governor General’s Curling Club to acknowledge and pay tribute to Ernie this year” said GGCC President Pat Reid in a release. “We all admire his 50 years of very active membership in the GGCC and the strong support he and Rikki have extended to the, For the Love of Curling Scholarship program for many years. In addition to paying tribute to Ernie, the Governor General’s Curling Club will award its first, For the Love of Curling Scholarship in the amount of $2500, to student-curler Chantel Hoag of Gravelbourg, Saskatchewan.

Kamsack woman honoured with Star of Life Award Courtesy of Kamsack Times On September 15, a Kamsack woman was honoured by the Paramedic Services Chiefs of Saskatchewan with the 2021 Star of Life Award. The title represents one of the highest achievements in the paramedic profession and is awarded to just one person from a number of nominees from across the province each year. Makenzie MydonickChernoff, 25, lives in Kamsack and currently works as a Primary Care Paramedic at Canora & Preeceville Emergency Medical Services (EMS). At a ceremony held the Government House in Regina, the Star of Life Medal was presented to MydonickChernoff by Saskatchewan Governor General, Russell Mirasty. On the same day, the young Kamsack woman was in the company of a select few other Saskatchewan award recipients receiving 20-year and 30-year service medals. “I never thought I’d achieve something like this in a million years. I had no idea I was even in the consideration of this award, let alone be chosen out of all the other nominees. To the

person who took the time to nominate me, thank-you. I don’t know who you are but I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was an honour to be recognized to this extent. Today is a day I will never forget.” During the ceremony, Mydonick-Chernoff was introduced with the following words: “Makenzie MydonickChernoff is a primary care paramedic with Duck Mountain Ambulance in Kamsack. She may be the quiet/ silent type, but when it comes to commitment to her job, she is second to none. One example of this is her valiant efforts when she and an RCMP officer arrived at the scene of a drowning. They acted quickly to save a woman who was already submerged, trying desperately to save her friend. Ms. Mydonick-Chernoff ’s quick actions saved the woman’s life.” Mydonick-Chernoff recalled the incident that happened at the water near Riverside Golf Course on April 23, 2019. “It was one of the hardest calls I’ve ever been on. I mentally struggle with it to this day. I always thought about the patient I lost. I beat myself up and put myself down over the

loss - until now. Being recognized for the save that I (and the brave RCMP officer) made, has changed the way I will perceive outcomes on duty from now on. It opened my eyes to a whole new perspective.” When The Kamsack Times asked the honoured paramedic what inspired her to choose emergency services as a career, she responded: “I am on the fire department in Kamsack because I had a house fire when I was in high school and lost everything. I was working a call for a car accident and was blown away by how well the paramedics performed on the call and I wanted to be able to do the same thing. When I got home that night I applied for the primary care paramedic course in Melville and here we are! I’ve been a paramedic for almost four years now.” On a Facebook post, Mydonick-Chernoff thanked her family, instructors and coworkers with the following statement: “I want to thank everyone who has helped guide my path to this achievement. Especially my absolutely amazing and supportive parents and family who raised me to be the

compassionate and strong person I am. You guys built the foundation. “To the three paramedic instructors in Melville and the three paramedic preceptors in Regina - you six have moulded me into the paramedic I am today. It wasn’t easy and without you six, this wouldn’t have been possible. Thank you all – so, so much. You guys know who you are and I really hope this message finds you all. Also to the coworkers I’ve had, whether we’ve worked two calls together or 200. You all have had a part in my journey and I want to thank you all for being there and thank you all for your service as well! “To the tremendously brave RCMP officer that ran through the bushes with me that day to find the scene and stuck by my side through this call, thank you! You deserve this award as much as I do. If I didn’t have you on this call with me I believe it would’ve gone differently. I really can’t express my gratitude enough. It’s insane to me that in only three-and-a-half years into this I was able to touch so many people’s lives. That to me is the biggest award overall.”

M a k e n z i e MydonickChernoff of Kamsack is the 2021 recipient of the Paramedic Services Chiefs of Saskatchewan Star of Life Award. She currently works as a primary care paramedic at Canora & Preeceville Emergency M e d i c a l Services.

Presenting the medal to Mydonick-Chernoff was Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, Russell Mirasty, (left).
