CAA asks: Are you and your vehicle winter ready?

It’s that time of year. The leaves have fallen, and so has the outdoor temperature. Time to bundle up and think about getting ourselves and our vehicles winter ready.

Here are some important reminders to help keep us safe while driving this winter.

Drivers: Winter Ready Check List • Check weather and road conditions before you travel: Allow extra time to reach your destination safely.

Be prepared to reduce your speed and drive with caution.

• Slow to 60 km/h on Saskatchewan highways: For first responders including tow truck operators, law enforcement, paramedics, firefighters, and highway construction workers.

• Signal lights: Every vehicle has them. Use them in advance to communicate your driving intentions with other road users.

• See and be seen: In many vehicles, the daytime running lights (DRL) are always on. But this doesn’t mean that the rear lighting is on which results in ‘Phantom Vehicles’ that are virtually invisible from behind because their rear lights aren’t on. Turn your vehicle headlights and taillights on in harsh weather and in low visibility.

• Roadside safety kit: Pack extra winter gear including mitts, toques, and footwear. Take along a mobile

phone with charger (for emergency use only), non-perishable food, water, a shovel, window ice scraper, snow brush, and booster cables. Remember, roadside safety kits are available at all CAA Saskatchewan Stores.

• Watch for snowplows: Trucks now have amber flashing lights for increased visibility. Remember to slow down, stay back, and stay safe.

• Check the Highway Hotline: For updates on winter road conditions.

• For vehicle winter inspection, visit the CAA Car Centre at Regina Battery Depot or any facility that is part of CAA’s Approved Auto Repair Services (AARS) network across the province.

• CAA Roadside Assistance is available 24/7, 365 days a year. CAA Members can request online, call 1-800-222-4357 or download the CAA Mobile App. Submitted Photo

Vehicles: Winter Ready Check List • Winter tires: A definite recommendation by CAA. The different rubber compound in winter tires allows for better traction and control. When choosing winter tires, consider the tread design, type of rubber, size, and conditions of use.

Check your vehicle’s tire pressure: The right pressure is important for traction and fuel efficiency. Check the air pressure regularly. Improper inflation can not only be dangerous but can also cause increased tire wear resulting in

added costs for replacement tires.

Battery: The battery is your vehicle’s lifeline. Extreme weather weakens the battery so check it often and have it charged if necessary.

Block heater and cord: Make sure the cord is not frayed and is in good working condition. Always plug in when the temperature falls below -15°C. Check your vehicle fluids: This includes antifreeze, brake fluid, and the window washer fluid which are all

vital to safe winter travel.

• Defrost your windows before you drive: Take the time to remove ice and snow from your vehicle.

• Brakes: Have your brakes inspected thoroughly and service them if necessary. This will help with better braking power especially on icy, snowcovered roads.

Fuel: Keep a full tank or at minimum a half tank of fuel. This will help reduce moisture in the gas tank plus it adds weight to your vehicle.

Saskatoon – Over 95 per cent of the oncampus community at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) have submitted a status of “fully COVIDvaccinated.”

Since implementing the proof of vaccination status process at the end of August, in advance of the Fall term, 99 per cent of the campus community have reported their status, with 88.6 per cent being on-campus and 11.4 per cent reporting as off-campus. Of the oncampus group, 95.3 per cent – more than 24,000 students, staff, and faculty – are considered “fully vaccinated” as of USask’s October 18 deadline for full vaccination status. Overall, approximately 97 per cent of staff and faculty, and 93 per cent of students have declared a fully vaccinated status.

“Looking at the campus numbers, it’s clear that the USask commun-

ity believes vaccinations are the clearest path towards beating COVID-19 and its dangerous variants,” said Peter Stoicheff, USask president and vice-chancellor. “The pandemic has required us to be exceptionally informed, flexible and responsive.

I remain deeply appreciative of all that everyone at USask has done to show that data-based policy and communityminded compliance achieve the best health outcomes for everyone.”

When adding in campus members with at least one vaccination, the overall USask vaccination rate increases to 96.3 per cent, while 2.3 per cent of the campus community said “no” or chose “not to disclose” vaccination status.

On-campus members who are partially vaccinated, not vaccinated, or chose not to disclose status require twice weekly negative testing

to access university campuses and workplaces.

Stoicheff said that submitting vaccination or testing status is a requirement of all students, faculty, staff, and contractors, and that there are consequences for non-adherence, including loss of access to course tools, suspension from studies, unpaid leave and no longer being permitted on campus.

USask also continues to require masking for all indoor spaces, and for masks to be worn at any outdoor on-campus gathering of more than 20 people, including Huskies games.

Vaccinations are available on campus to all members of the campus community through the Student Wellness Centre and on-campus pharmacy.

“The university is closely monitoring the status of the pandemic throughout the community and the province, and the vaccination and testing compliance rates on campus,” Stoicheff added. “We will be considering additional measures to ensure the health and safety of our campuses and workplaces, and the communities we serve, as we finalize our plans for the upcoming January term.”

USask continues to share data about the vaccination rates and the known positive COVID19 cases among members of the university community. More information can be found at https://covid19.usask.ca/

Every year the community of Preeceville hosts a Remembrance Day Service to honour war veterans and those who were killed in action during the war years. It is usually held at the Preeceville Community Legion with wreaths laid at an inside cenotaph and at two separate cenotaphs, one located outside the hall and the other one is located outside the Town of Preeceville Cenatoph.

“In order to follow the guidelines established by the government, this year will be similar to the one held last year,” said Legion members. “There will only be a private service that the public will not be allowed to attend.

Only a few Legion members will be in attendance at the service that will be held at the Town of Preeceville cenotaph. The service will be live streamed and uploaded to Facebook for the public to follow,” they said.

Wreaths and poppies will be sold in stores starting October 29 and continuing until the service.

In a previous service Bill Lesko, legion member had summed up Remembrance Day with these words.

“The events that have unfolded on the world stage since The First World War, have shown that we are not immune from the horrific effects of terrorism and intra-state conflicts will continue despite our best efforts. That is why, on Remembrance Day, we must take the time to remind ourselves of the sacrifices made to preserve our basic freedoms and renew our individual hopes for the future so that we may try to heal the wounds inflicted by the horrors of armed conflict and terrorism of yesteryear and today.

The annual Town of Preeceville Remembrance Day Service in 2020 was held via a virtual presentation on Facebook, and will have a similar structure this year.

Preeceville Legion members braved the cold wind to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in war. – File Photo “Peace can not be kept by force alone. It can only be achieved by remembering, educating, and creating an understanding of causes of war as well as peace, amongst all Canadians.

Our nation will only be as good in the future as the people who are growing up today are prepared to make it. On Remembrance Day, we take the time to remind ourselves of the sacrifices made to preserve our basic freedoms.

By forgetting or ignoring what happened in the past we will leave some people with the comforting impres-

sion that these things did not happen.

That attitude might will lead us to repeating the same mistakes of the past and lead us again into armed conflict,” he concluded Remembrance Day (sometimes known informally as Poppy Day owing to the tradition of the remembrance poppy) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty, stated the Wikipedia website.

USask researcher participates in national water survey as part of oil sands research Saskatoon – Scientists are studying ways for plants and their associated microbes to clean up wastewater from oil sands operations.

This would be accomplished through the development of wetland treatment systems. The big question is: will the public support such an approach?

University of Saskatchewan (USask) scientists are part of a Canada-wide team aiming to find out by studying how researchers, industry partners, and communities can work together to enhance wetlands. The team, guided

by Indigenous partners, will do laboratory and field science, conduct decision experiments and social network mapping, create a national public survey to gauge the extent to which people value technologies that harness the power of ecosystem services in the natural environment, and look at the problem through artistic lenses.

A section of the team, led by Dr. Lori Bradford (PhD) at USask, is studying the social sciences aspect of the research to explore legal, social and economic gaps in knowledge and practice.

“With a window opening for people to have their say in the technologies we use to restore landscapes, and the regulations used to monitor and meas-

ure that restoration, the time for this project is now,” said Bradford.

“We are working to use many different ‘languages’ in this work: the language of economics, Indigenous knowledge, law, and, art, are being put to use by our team,” she said. The team also includes Dr. Graham Strickert (PhD), assistant professor in the USask School of Environment and Sustainability (SENS), and Dr. Jason MacLean (PhD), assistant professor in the faculty of law at the University of New Brunswick and adjunct professor in SENS. The project, Application of Genomics to Enhance Wetland Treatment Systems for Remediation of Processed Water in Northern Environments, is being led

by Dr. Douglas Muench (PhD) at the University of Calgary and Dr. Christine Martineau (PhD) at Natural Resources Canada, and is supported by a grant from Genome Canada.

A natural way to clean up large volumes of wastewater is through a constructed wetland treatment system, which uses vegetation, soils and organisms to filter and process suspended solids and trace metals.

The national research team is studying how genomics in the system’s plants, soils and organisms can be harnessed

to biodegrade toxic organic compounds such as naphthenic acids.

According to the team, the proposed applied research will provide insight on the mechanisms of plant-microbe interactions to facilitate the development of a robust, ‘green’ and cost-effective system for the remediation of oil sands process-affected water.

Brock University economist Dr. Diane Dupont (PhD) is leading a subsection of the research that will examine the Canadian public’s perspectives on the use of these genomic methods in the context of oil sands remediation.

“I’m really looking forward to working on this project,” said Dupont. “I see it as a really great opportunity to inform the general public about the role ecosystem services play and how important it is to better understand the values provided by these services.”

The surface mining of oil sands is a large industry in the Athabasca region of northern Alberta. While no release is currently allowed, future legislation will require operators to restore the water before release, and to remediate the landscape.

Dupont said social benefits from a constructed wetland treatment system that safely and effectively treats oil

sands process-affected water have several important benefits.

These include potential cost savings from use of natural processes to sustainably deal with industrial effluents, as well as the potential for a shorter time period needed to achieve good water quality.

“In turn, this may mean fewer health damages from toxic releases,” she said.

Bradford said she expects the social science program will help future social and natural scientists prioritize their work through being guided by stakeholder and public interest, and also inform policy makers about the preferences and knowledge level in the general public.

“I’m excited to see how Genome Canada as a funding organization is requiring that social sciences be embedded in their large-scaled programs. There is a need for our disciplines to work together on the complexity of problems where genomic sciences can be applied, and in this project, we have been given the opportunity to explore solutions to an environmental problem through many lenses.”

The team will be working with Indigenous communities in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

EDITORIAL Why not leave those leaves alone?

As autumn brings cooler, shorter days, people in Canada will rake, mow and blow leaves from more than six million lawns. It’s a task you might want to ignore. Leaving the leaves can save you time and help pollinators like butterflies and bees.

Why do leaves fall in the first place? It starts with photosynthesis, which is how plants make their own food using energy from sunlight hitting their leaves.

You may recall that chlorophyll is the hero of the story. It’s a pigment that absorbs sunlight and gives plants and leaves their green colour. Plants use that energy to convert carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to create glucose, a type of sugar.

They combine sugars and nutrients from the soil to grow, releasing oxygen in the process.

Once fall arrives, deciduous trees shed their leaves through a process called “abscission,” which means “to cut.” Chlorophyll molecules begin to break down, which allows other less-celebrated pigments to reveal themselves. These include carotenoids, the same molecules that make bananas yellow and carrots orange, and anthocyanins, which give red leaves their brilliance. Sunny warm days, cool nights and dry conditions can draw the colours out longer, while cold, wet, overcast weather can speed up the leaf decomposition process, creating compounds called “tannins,” which produce less glamorous brown foliage.

When leaves hit the ground, they almost immediately begin to break down into the soil at the base of the tree. They provide a warm blanket to shield roots from the biting cold of winter and eventually send nutrients back into the soil. This is the tree’s cycle of life: nutrients from fallen leaves are absorbed into the roots and help produce buds and leaves again

DAVID SUZUKI

Science Matters next spring. Drop, decompose, absorb, repeat.

As for pollinators, while the migratory flight of monarch butterflies generates much buzz, most butterflies and moths spend their winters closer to home, overwintering as eggs, caterpillars, chrysalises or adults. Swallowtail butterflies camouflage their chrysalises as dried leaves, which get mixed into tree leaves as they fall. Woolly bear caterpillars tuck themselves into leaf layers. Critters like bumblebee queens that have burrowed into the ground to hibernate also appreciate a layer of leafy insulation. And insects in the leaf layer provide a natural fall buffet for birds, chipmunks and squirrels, including birds called thrashers that “thrash” the fallen leaves to find insects.

What can you do to help these critters? The easiest option is to “leave the leaves” — the name of a growing international campaign led by the U.S.-based Xerces Society. Instead of mowing, blowing, raking and bagging, consider leaving leaves where they fall.

Research shows leaving a thin layer of mulched leaves over winter won’t smother your beloved turf-

grass. Instead, it can boost soil and lawn health.

Just run the mower over the leaves and allow them to break down naturally. If you’re fortunate enough to have many trees and a colourful abundance of leaves, consider using them as mulch for garden beds and around trees and shrubs. If you must keep your lawn leaf-free, perhaps find space to pile them somewhere to naturally decompose.

Fall is also a good time to think about other ways to make your yard a safe haven for beneficial insects and wildlife. Many insects overwinter as pupae in the soil, and most wild bees overwinter underground, so when you tidy your garden, avoid disturbing the soil.

When cleaning up your veggies and herbs, leave the roots in the soil so they can naturally decompose and add nutrients for next spring. And be sure to leave some seed heads and berries to feed birds through the winter. Fall is also the best time to expand your wildflower garden. Seeds and bulbs should be planted once it gets too cool for them to germinate.

(The David Suzuki Foundation’s Bee-bnb program offers tips on how to be a superhost for bees and butterflies.)

I hope you get to see wondrous fall landscapes, filled with brilliant reds, yellows and oranges. But before you start raking, know that leaves are not litter. They’re nature’s butterfly nursery and a free source of mulch and fertilizer. So, put your feet up and try a little wilderness this fall.

Digital archive at Canora Civic Centre provides one-stop history Courtesy of Canora Courier As the new hockey and skating season begins, a one-of-a-kind digital trophy cabinet and archive is being unveiled at the Canora Civic Centre.

A similar project was started in 1998, and has been brought into the digital age. After countless hours of work by Aaron Herriges, director of leisure services, the digital source of fascinating hockey and skating stories and pictures from the history of the Canora Civic Centre was actually ready for unveiling about a year ago.

“The ongoing pandemic limited traffic at the rink last year, and it didn’t feel like the right time to showcase it,” said Herriges. “With hockey games hopefully returning this year, now is the right time.”

So what is it exactly? Essentially, it’s an interactive 42-inch touch screen computer with archive software installed by TouchPros.

Civic Centre visitors are able to browse and navigate through a series of categories to find what they are looking for.

“This type of archive is the first one you will see in any rink in

A unique digital trophy cabinet and archive is being unveiled at the Canora Civic Centre as the new hockey season gets underway. Aaron Herriges, director of leisure services, said visitors to the Civic Centre can navigate the touch screen to find the information and/or pictures they are looking for regarding past Civic Centre hockey and figure skating memories, or even the 1969 Construction of the Canora Civic Centre (six months after the Centennial Rec Centre burned down).

Saskatchewan, perhaps Canada,” shared Herriges.

“However, there are likely schools in Canada that use them for their student athletes.

In the United States, these units are more commonly found in rinks and sport complexes.”

The unit allows unlimited archiving space of Civic Centre’s activities from the past and the present. It can hold as much data and

information as can be inputted into the software, which can be done from any remote login location. This type of archive makes it easy for Herriges and others to prevent information from getting lost and forgotten.

“Thirty years or more from now, people can look back on the information of the present day and the past, and that’s pretty neat.

In the 80s and 90s it was common in most rinks that photos and trophies were collected and hung on the walls and in the cabinets, that is, until space ran out to the point where the process often stalled and came to an end.

“That’s where you see gaps in timelines and records,” explained Herriges. “Furthermore, the current arena user groups often find they

are not interested in maintaining and organizing records/trophies from the past, so these items become neglected unfortunately. This pattern is common and happens everywhere, it’s nobody’s fault that is happening. That’s where the Touchwall comes in. Once information is inputted, it is easily maintained and stored forever on a cloud server.

You never have to worry about it once it’s in there and it’s only available at our rink. You have to come there to see it.”

Herriges has already accumulated a wide variety of material from the Civic Centre’s history to this point for visitors to enjoy.

“It’s comprised of lots of images, newsprint clippings, and descriptions as far back as 1942.

There are gaps in the timeline but there is enough material that a person could spend days going through it. The images consist of: figure skaters, skating groups, events, hockey teams (male and female), players, coaches, trophies, facility photos, staff members and so on.”

One of the most appealing aspects of this project is that more pictures and stories, includ-

ing biographies, can always be added.

“And we’re always looking for more material, paper or digital,” Herriges continued. “So if the public has something they would like to contribute, they are encouraged to bring it down to the Leisure Services office, and we Continued on Page 6

Sausage making: a relatively new twist on an old craft

Some sausage makers are adding a new twist to their craft by abandoning the preservatives.

Twisting a long tube of meat, vegetables and spices to make individual sausages is still fundamental to the art of sausage-making, but many processors of this traditional food are now abandoning the preservatives for more healthy alternatives.

“Salt and preservatives in sausages are not an obligation,” says Bryce Patriquin, co-owner of The Sausage Guys (Les Gars de Saucisse), in Richmond, in the Eastern Townships, in Quebec.

“Our sausages are frozen as soon as they are made, so we don’t have to stuff them with preservatives,” Patriquin says. “No need to boil, pierce or thaw them before cooking. Place them directly on the grill, in the pan or in the oven on parchment paper.”

While the Sausage Guys have perfected tasty convenience without sacrificing nutrition, when sausage was invented 4,000 or 5,000 years ago, the preservatives were necessary. Back then using preservatives allowed the meat to be easily transported, which made good economic sense for butchers and also made it convenient for consumers.

Patriquin has always worked in the sausage industry. He learned everything he knows about the art of making sausages from his Austrian-born grandfather. In 2002, he opened a butcher’s shop with his wife, Roxanne Labonté, the other “guy” behind the sausages, and the one who takes care of the finances.

Along with skipping the preservatives, all of The Sausage Guys products are gluten and nitrite free and have less salt and fat, adding to the appeal of health-conscious consumers who may not have previously considered sausage for their shopping lists. “We only use quality products and no pre-

that will soon allow them to export their products. The Quebec company chose Windsor for the construction of a new plant. The project, which represents an investment of $3.8 million, will increase its current production capacity by 10 times, while hiring four new employees and preserving its factory and sales outlet located in Richmond.

The new plant will be in operation by spring 2022.

Everything has an end; only a sausage has two ends, say the Germans.

“It means that everything will come to end, but the sausage never will,” says Patriquin with passion. “Long live the sausages!”

According to Agriculture and AgriFood Canada (AAFC), a growing number of Americans, especially the elderly, are turning to healthier sausage options including chicken and turkey sausages as poultry does not contain trans-fat. Also, more and more consumers are demanding organic hot dogs and sausages or products that are low in fat or sugar and even products containing meat alternatives (vegetarian and vegan).

Beef and pork are always soughtafter meats by sausage lovers and The Sausage Guys have just added two new beef-based sausages in collaboration with Bœuf Québec.

The pandemic has opened up opportunities for Canadian sausage makers with new demand for local, convenient

21105RR0 21105RR1

and healthy foods. The BBQ craze has also increased since the start of the pandemic.

According to a Canadian survey conducted by FCC in January 2021, when asked if their behaviour has changed since the start of the pandemic, 58 per cent said they are more likely to buy Canadian made or grown food, 56 per cent are more likely to look for Canadian made or grown food when they buy groceries and 50 per cent are more likely to think about how their food is grown or processed.

“Everyone loves sausages, even children. Our sales have increased by five times since 2015, we have the wind in our sails,” says Patriquin.

The Sausage Guys have global food safety and gluten-free certifications

• An estimated $733M in sausage sales over the past 12 months in Canadian grocery stores. The majority being exact weight packaged sausages.

• Sausage makes up approximately 5.9 per cent of grocery meat sales.

• Average selling price of $11.39/kg.

Beyond meat is ~$21.18/kg.

• The months of May-Aug are the big selling season, sales during those four months cover 43.5 per cent of annual sales.

• Canada is a net importer of sausages. Canadian exports have picked up since 2018, but imports remain the number one source of sausage consumption.

• The word “sausage” was first used in English in the mid-15th century, spelled “sawsyge”. This word came from old French saussiche (modern French saucisse). The French word came from latin salsiccia (sausage) and from salsicus (seasoned with salt).

Tiny games truly have ‘epic’ appeal The old adage about good things coming in small packages certainly holds true when board gamers talk about the Tiny Epic series from designer Scott Almes and Gamelyn Games.

Our first taste of the series dates back to the 2015 release of Tiny Epic Galaxies, a space exploration and colonization game which arrived in a very small box which might suggest a rather lite game that wouldn’t hold a great deal of interest.

But Almes managed to pack a lot of game experience into the little box – more than one might have anticipated.

Tiny Epic Galaxies turned out to be merely the start of things for our gaming group.

One of our Guild has made it his mission to buy each Tiny Epic game, and the list has become a long one.

Almes is nothing if not prolific as a game designer.

And, surprisingly, the designer has created games covering a rather wide range of themes in the process.

In some cases Almes seems to borrow from other games. For example, Tiny Epic Zombies released in 2018 has the ‘feel’ of Zombicide released in 2012, However, Almes packs much of the tension of the large-scale Zombicide into his now familiar tiny little box. Sure the game isn’t as expansive as big box offerings, but it is lower cost, quicker to set up and to play, which are all characteristics with merits of their own.

Of course we have both, so our bases are pretty much covered.

But back to the diversity that is a strength with Almes.

There are games which will be near and dear to the heart of anyone who is a Dragon and Dungeons

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

player.

Our most recent gaming outing took us into Tiny Epic Tactics, and again what was contained in the box was pretty amazing.

We weren’t particularly excited by the cloth board, but considering how difficult it was to get all the pieces back in the box it was pretty clear cardboard boards would have over-stuffed the box, and Almes has stayed true to the tiny box. The 10-12 on the shelf

in the game room are all peas-in-a-pod in terms of size.

Tactics has a definite D&D ‘feel’ with each player in charge of a group of four adventurers, wizard, fighter, thief etc., trying to get to, and hold some key locations, and along the way knock off some opponent characters.

We played with three, and typically confrontational games have two players realizing one is sneaking ahead and sort of teaming up to thwart that effort.

That element existed with Tactics – the game does allow one-on-one, up to four players, and team mode though – but interestingly there was some ebb and flow here, who was winning seemed to change as we played through.

For a little game, there were tough choices too, with limited actions, and four characters. Which do you move? Who fights? Do you go after an opponent or try to secure a scoring point? It played ‘bigger’ than expected.

Tiny Epic Quest and Tiny Epic Defenders also have a sort of D&D heart.

In 2016 Almes turned to the old west with Tiny Epic Western, which was hugely different from Tactics, Galaxies, or Zombies, which is to the credit of the designer.

The variety includes Tiny Epic Dinosaurs released in 2020 where you are dino ranchers, the 2019 released Tiny Epic Mechs where you head to the arena to battle huge – ok tiny – mechs and Tiny Epic Pirates released in 2021 which is one still on our ‘to-play’ pile.

Overall, this is a series that rates highly based on big play in a small box, and for diversity within the series. Tiny Epic is one of the best long-running game series currently being produced – well worth picking a favoured theme and giving it a try.

Mask as protection from COVID-19: USask study Saskatoon – A University of Saskatchewan (USask) research team has found that wearing face masks to protect against COVID19 during play does not affect the sport performance of youth hockey players aged 9-14. Parents of a hockey player under the age of 12 can rest assured that their child can be protected from COVID19 while still playing at their best.

Ice hockey has been linked to the spread of COVID-19 in the sports community – including among youth – with multiple case transmissions in the past year being attributed to infected players exposing their teammates to the virus.

Children under the age of 12 are currently unable to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in Canada. As youth return to their fall and winter sports, it is vitally important to find effective ways to prevent them from becoming infected or spreading COVID-19 to other vulnerable populations.

“COVID spread is very prevalent during ice hockey because of close contact between players, heavy breathing during play, and poor ventilation of arenas,” said Dr. Phil Chilibeck (PhD), a co-author of the study.

To determine if wearing a surgical mask during play affected performance, the interdisciplinary USask College of Kinesiology, College of Pharmacy and Nutrition, and School of Rehabilitation Science research team assessed physiological factors including heart rate and oxygen levels in the blood and muscles, as well as players’ perceived levels of fatigue.

The heart rate and oxygen levels of both male and female youth ice hockey players were measured at different levels of exercise intensity both on and off the ice.

One group of youth wore a full face mask while the other wore an adapted version that did not cover the nose or mouth.

“We found that wearing a face mask had no effect on high-intensity exercise performance simulating a hockey shift in boy and girl hockey players who were 9-14 years old,” said Chilibeck.

Study findings also indicated that wearing a surgical face mask had no clinically significant impact on heart rate or oxygen saturation levels in male or female players.

These findings are similar to the results of other studies that evaluated face mask use and physical exercise – there is generally no difference in heart rate or oxygen saturation in children or adults partaking in exercise while wearing a face mask.

“We hope the findings

can encourage players – especially those who are unvaccinated – to wear face masks during hockey to reduce the spread of COVID,” said Chilibeck.

The study was recently published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health.

USask researchers involved with the study include Chilibeck of the College of Kinesiology, College of Pharmacy and Nutrition professor Dr.

Gordon Zello (PhD), School of Rehabilitation Science associate professor Dr. Scotty Butcher (PhD), and research assistants Keely Shaw, Jong Bum Ko, Abdi Absher, and Julianne Gordon.

The research was funded by the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation through the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation.

Link to the full publication: https://www.mdpi. com/1660-4601/18/20/10766/ pdf

A combination of on-ice and off-ice testing was conducted during the study to assess the effects of wearing a face mask during different levels of exercise intensity.

The love story of a Hyas couple that spanned 75 years Courtesy of Kamsack Times Often times, when we look at an elderly couple, it is difficult to imagine them as a vibrant young couple in love. However, when that couple looks into the eyes of their long-time partner, they must certainly see something we can’t. Maybe they see something that remains behind the inevitable signs of aging.

They might recognize the glimmer of the youthful beauty they once knew in each other and the treasure trove of lighthearted, silly, and deeply sentimental memories the years have provided.

And perhaps that was the experience of a young couple from the tiny rural town of Hyas, SK. with a love story that originated back in the 1940s.

Cecelia caught John’s eye when she was working in a Norquay restaurant.

The young Hyas chap wanted to get to know her, but he did not have a

car and she lived on a farm nine miles south of Norquay. With the help of some barn dances and trips to visit with a horse and wagon or sled, a spectacular romance began to bloom.

John said he knew right away that he had found the love of his life.

John and Cecelia were married November 3, 1946. This year marks the 75th anniversary of that partnership - a formidable milestone. In fact, The Kamsack Times was set to interview the couple this fall from their Yorkton Crossing Retirement Community.

Sadly, John passed away on September 15 – just 49 days away from celebrating their 75th anniversary and a few hours before he was to turn 97 years-old.

Although the incredibly rare wedding anniversary wasn’t quite reached, it is the opinion of this writer that the enduring love story of John and Cecelia Dernisky deserves to be witnessed and celebrat-

The Dernisky Family of Hyas consisted of three children – Brian, Richard, and Sharon.

This photo was taken on the Dernisky’s 74th wedding anniversary on November 3, 2020. ed.

Early years In the beginning of their adventure together, the young Cecelia packed up and moved to the homestead of her new husband on the Dernisky farm – just south of Hyas. John and Cecelia both came from large families. John was the seventh of nine children and Cecelia was the ninth of thirteen. Losing their parents at a young age, they stepped up to work as a team in the running of both family farm homesteads.

The young newlyweds had a lot to learn.

John had his work cut out for him on the farm and Cecelia was determined to become a good cook and keep the home running smoothly. The pair would go on to welcome three children into the world – Brian, Rick, and Sharon – each born seven years apart.

They kept a plentiful garden and a beautiful home and yard, becoming the perfect team – complimenting and supporting each other

through the highs and lows of life. Faith and community were a big part of their routine, and they regularly attended the St. Thomas Roman Catholic Church in Norquay. Life in rural Saskatchewan was rich and beautiful, filled with friends and family.

Struggles Like many of us, the couple had their fair share of challenges. At one point, a fire took their home and all of its contents. With the help from family, neighbours and friends, they got back on their feet and started over again. They took what life threw at them and battled many storms. They explained to their children and grandchildren that it was their faith and prayers that helped them get through.

“They were inseparable – rarely ever apart,” shared their son, Rick, on a phone interview from his home in Alberta. “They were always respectful of one another, loyal and true to each other and also

John and Cecelia Dernisky were married in Saskatchewan in 1946. Their love story would endure for 75 years. friends. They had the habit of discussing everything and always made important decisions together. They set such a great example for us all.”

John and Cecelia’s daughter-in-law, Leslie, said there was something very special about the way they treated people.

“They adored friends and family more than anything. They had this way of truly listening – and you just sensed they sincerely cared about you and what was going on in your life.

Celebrating special occasions was their all-time favourite. They were so generous and loving. A number of our children’s friends used to say, “I wish I had grandparents like that.”

When retirement approached, John and Cecelia sold the two farmsteads and made

Yorkton their new home.

It was there that they enjoyed coffee time, walks to the Parkland mall, casino trips, functions at St. Gerard’s Catholic Church, and time shared with many good friends.

The values John and Cecelia held - hard work, commitment, love, faith, and determination have been passed down to their children, seven grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren.

For many, the idea of growing old with your soulmate is the epitome of a life well lived.

Cecelia says that she is still missing John and wishes he was here. She has the feeling that he is out working in the yard and will be walking through the door any minute. For now, her memories keep John close…until they meet again.

Cemetery costs jumping Jan. 1, 2022

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It is going to cost significantly more to be buried in the Yorkton City Cemetery following a decision by Council to increase several fees and services.

“A review of fees and charges has been completed and compared to other Saskatchewan Municipal Cemeteries to determine where changes in the fee structure could positively impact our cost recovery,” explained Darcy McLeod – Director of Recreation & Community Services with the City at the regular meeting of Council.

“The Cemetery endeavors to operate on a cost recovery basis with the main source of revenue being through plot sales and interment services.”

However, plot sales have slowed as multiple burials in the same plot are becoming more common, added McLeod.

The review process discovered “they do not reflect all the costs associated with annual general maintenance,” said McLeod.

As a result, generally fees and charges were recommended to increase, although a few did decline, offered McLeod.

One of the major increases approved by Council is a 25 per cent rise in the perpetual Care Fund fee.

Plot costs are going up 25 per cent too.

The increase is “to partly address the issue related to recovering costs for annual care and maintenance, the plot prices have been increased by 25 per cent.

This increase is meant to address the ongoing annual care and maintenance costs of the plot, for one interment,” said McLeod.

It will cost more to be buried in winter too.

“There are other costs that impact services as

Yorkton City Cemetery well. Winter interments have significantly higher costs due to requirements for snow removal to the plot site as well as harder ground to dig which takes significantly more time. Although we have had the winter surcharge in place before, we are looking to imple-

ment it differently, and for all interments, not just traditional interments. Therefore, the basic interment fee reflects the actual cost of a warm weather service and the winter surcharge is added for any services between November 1 and April 30 to cover the snow

September taught hard lessons Elementary, high school and post-secondary students headed back to school in September but -- according to the latest Traffic Safety Spotlight results -- it’s hundreds of drivers in Saskatchewan who are learning some hard lessons.

Police across Saskatchewan reported 494 impaired driving offences, including 368 Criminal Code offences, and they’re set to learn all about the tough consequences that result when you’re caught driving impaired. Of course, the penalties for impaired driving aren’t the worst possible outcome; the real worst-case scenario is

causing a collision that severely injures or kills someone.

Meanwhile, there were 611 tickets issued for speeding in school zones among the 6,307 total tickets issued last month for speeding and aggressive driving offences.

If those drivers didn’t already know, they’re about to find out that school zone speeding tickets are extra costly (20 km/h over the limit in a school zone results in a $310 ticket and three demerits; on a regular stretch of road, exceeding the speed limit by that amount gets you a ticket for $190 and two demerits).

Other results reported in

September include: • 339 tickets for seatbelt and car seat offences, and • 774 tickets for distracted driving, including 658 for using a mobile device.

SGI and law enforcement are focusing on distracted driving in October. Stow your phone and other distractions away while you’re behind the wheel and focus on the important task at hand, driving your car. We’ve been sharing tips on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram throughout the month on how to avoid distractions and #JustDrive.

These costs are passed on to the service and have been updated to reflect actual costs in the proposed fees and charges,” detailed a report to Council Monday.

While there was discussion over whether the increases should

Yorkton Chamber releases video on immigrant entrepreneur’s journey The Yorkton Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce, is proud to release “Journey,” a video featuring immigrant business owners from across Saskatchewan discussing their experiences adjusting to life and doing business in Saskatchewan.

Created in partnership with Aspen Productions, the 15-minute video focuses on Saskatchewan’s strong history of entrepreneurship, successful business practices, and the importance of community and business connections. The film was produced as part of the Training and Employment Network (TEN) program.

“Imagine moving to a new community, province, or country—what would you want to know about your new home or starting a new business?” asked Juanita Polegi, Executive Director of the Yorkton Chamber of Commerce. “As a chamber of commerce, we want to represent all businesses in our community, and we want to see them succeed. We hope this video shines a light on the immigrant entrepreneur’s experience and how important community is for success.”

The video is intended to welcome newcomer entrepreneurs and immigrant business owners to Saskatchewan and encourage them to grow their business and stay in the province long-term. The video also allows for subtitles in a variety of languages including Tagalog, Mandarin, Urdu, Punjabi, Vietnamese, Spanish, Russian and Arabic.

View the “Journey” video on YouTube at https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX5Z14w9qRI or visit the Sask Chamber’s webpage at https://saskchamber.com/ programs/training/journey/.

Drive Away Hunger effort helped at football game

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer This year’s Farm Credit Canada (FCC) Drive Away Hunger initiative has evolved but is still focused on collecting food and cash donations to help feed those in need.

“Food banks have told us how Drive Away Hunger has transformed their ability to feed hungry families and we think we can do even more to help,” said FCC president and CEO Michael Hoffort in a release announcing plans for the 18th edition of Drive Away Hunger.

“FCC has the national reach to bring Canada’s agriculture and food industry together like never before for a cause that is close to all of us. The COVID19 pandemic has taught us there’s a very fine line between those who have the means to pay for food and those who don’t, since personal situations can rapidly

Monoclonal antibody treatments available to eligible COVIDpositive patients Starting October 25, monoclonal antibodies are available to treat clinically appropriate patients who have contracted COVID-19, with the intent of preventing unvaccinated or severely immunosuppressed residents who have contracted COVID-19 from requiring hospitalization.

Monoclonal antibodies may be used in early treatment of mild to moderate COVID-19 illness in unvaccinated patients who are deemed at-risk for progression to severe illness that would require hospitalization. This treatment uses laboratorymade antibodies (proteins) and is intended to give those with no prior antibodies to COVID-19 an initial immune response that may prevent serious illness. It may also be helpful in preventing severe COVID-19 illness in people with weakened immune systems who may not generate a robust response to the COVID-19 vaccines. This treatment is only effective in the very early phase of infection.

The decision to prescribe monoclonal antibodies will be made by the treating clinician, based on criteria established by the product monograph and the published clinical guidance: • For COVID-19 patients who have not been vaccinated; and certain immunocompromised or immunosuppressed COVID-19 patients regardless of vaccination status; • Within five days of becoming symptomatic; and • 55 years or older, or 18 years and older with specific high risk co-morbidity.

Monoclonal antibody treatment is a one-time treatment, delivered intravenously.

These treatments will be available from Saskatoon and Regina only through existing SHA testing and treatment sites at this time. These locations are currently staffed and supplied to safely manage COVID19 patients.

Initially, eligible patients will be identified through the case investigation process. Beginning November 1, people who test positive for COVID-19 can selfassess their eligibility for monoclonal antibodies by visiting Saskatchewan.ca/covid-19. If eligible, they will be directed on next steps for booking a further assessment. The final decision to prescribe monoclonal antibodies will be made by clinicians.

You cannot self-refer to an assessment site to receive monoclonal antibody treatment; you must be referred based on the eligibility criteria.

The SHA will continue to assess demand and appropriateness of treatment to determine if treatment will be expanded to other regions in the province.

Treatment for COVID-19 is Not a Substitute for Vaccination Contracting and being treated for COVID-19 does not offer an equivalent protection to vaccination. The best measure to prevent COVID-19 is to be fully vaccinated. Vaccination clinic information is available at Saskatchewan.ca/covid-19.

All patients receiving monoclonal antibodies will be eligible for COVID-19 vaccination 90 days following treatment.

General COVID-19 Information General public inquiries may be directed to COVID19@health.gov.sk.ca.

change,” Hoffort said. “Whether our partners are growing, producing, processing or distributing food, we see an opportunity for them to help us replenish the shelves in food banks in both rural and urban communities.”

This year, Drive Away Hunger hopes to collect food and cash donations equivalent to the cost of providing 20 million meals to hungry Canadians. Since 2004, FCC employees, customers and community partners have provided over 85 million meals to food banks in Canada.

Locally one initiative was a collection of food at the recent the Yorkton Regional High School ‘Friday

Night Lights’ football game. The effort saw volunteers gathered 1100 lbs of food and $457.15 in cash from those taking in the game. Both the food and cash will be donated to The Soup Haven in the city.

Along with raising money and food for Canadian food banks, FCC is once again contributing a total of $200,000 in support of food programs offered at 200 schools selected by FCC offices across Canada based on need. Half of that contribution will be directed towards schools that serve Indigenous children, as part of the federal Crown corporation’s reconciliation efforts. Each school is receiving $1,000 in support of their feeding program.

Terriers win pair with stellar goaltending

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Terriers were at home Saturday hosting Battlefords in Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League action.

The first 20-minutes proved nothing, as neither team could find the twine behind the starting goaltenders, Michael Harroch for the North Stars and Kael DePape for the hometown Terriers.

It was more of the same in the middle frame as neither team managed to break the scoreless tie.

The third period saw the goaltending duel continue with nary a goal scored, sending the game to a five-minute, threeon-three overtime.

The Yorkton Junior Terriers shut out Battlefords Saturday at the Westland Arena

And through the fiveminutes of extra time neither team scored, the 0-0 tie holding.

The game would be decided by a shoot-out.

Each team sent three shooters to centre ice, and only Yorkton’s Kishaun Gervais would manage a goal to secure a 1-0 win.

Through regulation and OT Harroch had stopped 37, and DePape 28.

For DePape it was his first SJHL shut-out.

“I think we’ve been playing excellent defence and getting great goaltending right now

which helps out,” said Terrier head coach Mat Hehr.

DePape might not have been expected to be the ‘guy’ for Yorkton, but Hehr said the way he is playing, he has allowed one goal in the last 125-minutes of work, he is earning his time between the pipes.

“He came in and earned every minute he’d played,” said the coach. “. . . There’s no reason right now not to play him, he’s been playing so well.”

Last Tuesday The Weyburn Red Wings visited the

Westland Arena last Tuesday evening to take on the Terriers.

The teams played through a scoreless first period, then got some added intermission time as an issue with the ice delayed the start of the middle frame.

When the teams finally hit the ice again, it was close to 9:40 p.m., and the teams looked to be headed to another scoreless period until Ethan Whillans scored at 17:18 to give the Wings a 1-0 lead.

In the third Kishaun Gervais struck for the Terriers 2:52 in to knot

Dazza Mitchell was in net for Weyburn facing 46-shots in the loss, while Kael DePape guarded the twine for the Terriers facing 20-shots to earn the win.

After the week’s play the Terriers sit with a 5-80-0 record for 10 points, to

sit second in the Viterra Division five points back of front running Estevan and two up on third place Weyburn.

the contest 1-1.

An unassisted effort

by Enrique Fontes at 4:51 gave the home side its first lead of the game 2-1. The goal proved to be the game-winner as no more goals found their way past the night’s goaltender.

This is the inaugural run of our club’s monthly update being published in this fine paper.

On September 30th we had our second ever AGM which was very encouraging. Attendance was much higher and general involvement was much better.

Executive is as follows: President – David Weiman (639-237-7377) Vice – Sheryl Byczynski (621-4152) SecretaryTreasurer – Anne Stupak (621-8926). As well five directors were voted in, which include: Brad Quart, Murray Bialobyski, Chanz Hutton, Danica Smith and Ken Kolisnek all taking on a position of a committee chairsperson.

As you read this, play will transfer from outdoor play at KC and Heritiage Heights to indoor play at the Gloria Hayden and the Gallagher centre.

Please refer to the City of Yorkton website to check on “play times”. Make sure to check regularly especially for the Gallagher Centre because of multi use of these facilities.

That said, at present the City has been very good at providing times for pickleball play in the city.

We encourage pickleball players to actually join the club which is done through the www.pickleballcanada.org website under Join-Renew. Total cost is $25.00 and admin costs which has you covered insurance wise and helps the sport of pickleball grow and allow our local club to bring in clinics of interest.

You can also check out the Yorkton Club information on the Pickleballcanada. org website under Participate and follow the drop downs.

Pickleball Yorkton has made several grant applications to secure equipment that we will need in the future. As well, to work with Pickleball Saskatchewan to provide opportunities to learn to play and advanced clinics.

On that note a “Learn to Play” clinic is scheduled for October 23rd from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m. at the Gloria Hayden Please contact Anne if you are interested; her number is above. The cost is $25.00 for members and $50.00 for non-members.

Remember that the $25.00 membership is divided such that Pickleball Canada gets $10.00, Pickleball Saskatchewan gets $5.00 and $10.00 goes directly to our club.

It should be noted at this time that the Community Development Parks and Recreation division of the City of Yorkton have been very good to work with in relation to Pickleball. They understand that it is a growing sport that involves all ages and that it is and will be a part of Yorkton’s Recreation activities in the future.

So in closing for this month our club would like to stress that we are very open to requests for information and do hope to see more citizens from Yorkton and area get involved in this amazing fun activity.

See you on the courts.

By Tanner Wallace-Scribner Staff Writer Sask Abilities in Yorkton is in a brand new location, and to show off their new working space the branch held a open house for members of the community to stop by and check it out.

Brittany Garbutt, the employment services supervisor with partners in employment, which is a department of Sask Abilities said that they felt like it was time to move to a new location.

“The space opened up and we thought what a great time to be more visible in the community.

Now you can see us right on Broadway, 89 Broadway Street East, we have the big green windows, you can’t miss us,” she said.

The re-opening also happens during Disability Employment Awarness Month, something Garbutt said is a great way to to raise awareness with the community.

“It is a national campaign that takes place every October, and that campaign is all about creating that community awareness about inclusion about people experiencing disabilities in the work place and removing those barriers,” she said. “We thought this was a perfect month to open up our office to the public and share that we are here and that we support anybody that is looking to enter the workplace.”

Garbutt added that if anyone wants to check out the new location to give their office a call.
