Building a global community: A Sask. approach to international education The Government of Saskatchewan is pleased to announce a new provincial strategy to global engagement that will support the growth of international students.

The International Education Strategy includes a number of initiatives related to global engagement, capacity building and leadership, to enhance the province's profile over the next five years to attract key international markets and new markets.

"The strateg y developed in partnership with the postsecondary sector will assist institutions to attract international students in innovative ways, while meeting commitments outlined in Saskatchewan's Growth Plan," Advanced

Education Minister Gene Makowsky said.

"International education is a major contributor to the Saskatchewan economy and this strategy will help position the province as a destination of choice for international students."

Key components of the strategy include: Participating in international missions to support recruitment and branding efforts; Fostering new international partnerships to promote education and research opportunities in both Saskatchewan and abroad; Developing a new International Education Practitioner Program to support a provincial approach on training throughout the sector that will provide students with a consistent

experience; and Supporting the growth and sustainability of French postsecondary programs in Saskatchewan through targeted recruitment in key French language markets. " S a s k a t c h ew a n's strong network of eight international trade and investment offices will be key to supporting this significant strategy around the world," Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said. "Taking Saskatchewan to the world and bringing the world to Saskatchewan helps increase exports and attract investment, and it further positions our province as a leader in international education and research opportunities, creating jobs and driving economic growth in communities

Carbon Monoxide Awareness Week to help residents stay safe The Government of Saskatchewan is recognizing November 1-7 as Carbon Monoxide (CO) Awareness Week to highlight the importance of CO safety and educate residents about prevention measures, something that is top of mind for Garth Kalin of Prince Albert.

It was early in the morning on a cold winter’s day that Kalin woke up to the loud sounds of his carbon monoxide alarms.

Little did he know, he and his family were at risk of succumbing to severe CO poisoning in as little as one hour had the alarms not alerted him to the danger. The cause was CO buildup in his furnace room.

“Carbon monoxide alarms saved my family,” Kalin said.

Each year, emergency

personnel respond to approximately 1,300 calls related to CO in Saskatchewan. Between 2015 and 2019, a total of 16 deaths were recorded due to CO poisoning.

“Our government is working to reduce the number of carbon monoxide incidents in Saskatchewan, and the serious health issues that it can cause,” Minister Responsible for SaskEnergy Don Morgan said.

“Through CO awareness campaigns, simple prevention steps, and recent amendments to The Uniform Building and Accessibility Standards Regulations, we can prevent these deadly events.”

Through websites, social media posts and targeted media, SaskEnergy - in partnership with the Technical

Safety Authority of Saskatchewan (TSASK) and the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA) - will be promoting CO safety tips across the province during CO Awareness Week.

“It is vital to have working CO alarms in your home to detect the poisonous gas and alert you to danger before physical symptoms appear,” gas inspector with TSASK who reviewed the CO incident in Kalin’s home Jesse Abdai said. “You should also check vents around your house to make sure there is no debris or snow-ice buildup blocking ventilation.

Regular maintenance of all gas burning appliances can help prevent CO accumulation in your house as well.”

“Exposure to carbon monoxide will put your family’s safety at risk,” SPSA President Marlo Pritchard said. “Every home in Saskatchewan needs to have a working carbon monoxide detector.”

Kalin encourages other homeowners to take CO safety seriously.

“Take time to go through some simple CO prevention steps to keep your home safe this winter,” Kalin said.

Wadena curling club receives $5,000 donation to help complete upgrades from Rooted in the Prairies Project winner Lee Johnson Curlers of all ages and skill levels in northeast Saskatchewan can look forward to seeing some upgrades at the beloved Wadena RE/MAX Curling Club thanks to Lee Johnson of Northland Seeds and the Rooted in the Prairies Project from Canterra Seeds.

“Nominating the Wadena RE/MAX Curling Club for the Rooted in the Prairies Project was an easy decision for me,” says Johnson. “In small town Saskatchewan, the curling rink is often one of the pillars of the community and Wadena is no exception.”

Pictured above are Scott Comfort, Lori Mikush, Dane Ward (Club President), Canterra Seeds Territory Manager Bret Gaetz, Northland Seeds Owner Lee Johnson.

When the pandemic shut down non-essential businesses last year, the Wadena RE/MAX Curling Club lost out on months of revenue, putting multiple building upgrades

on hold, and preventing the Wadena community from congregating at a beloved facility.

“The pictures on the Wall of Fame, the stories in the lounge during

the Annual Farmers & Friends Bonspiel and the full parking lots nearly every winter night all stem from decades of passionate club members, top quality

ice makers and dedicated board members,” recounts Johnson. “The board’s vision is not only to maintain the facility, but to add features that will make it accessible

and in good condition for years to come.”

“We are beyond grateful for the donation by Canterra Seeds and Northland Seeds,” says Dane Ward, Wadena RE/MAX Curling Club President. “The money from the donation will be going toward some upgrades in our club and help out with some lost revenue after being shut down due to Covid-19.”

Planned upgrades for the facility include an elevator/chair lift to increase accessibility to the viewing area, insulated doors to increase energy efficiency, live streaming equipment to broadcast the many Provincial qualifying events they host and high-performance equipment for practicing Provincial and National teams, among others.

To celebrate 25 years in the seed business, Canterra Seeds launched the Rooted in the Prairies Project in March 2021, with the goal to award ten $2,500 donations to local causes nominated by Canterra Seeds seed grower shareholders and farmers throughout Western Canada. Johnson’s company, Northland Seeds, matched the donation from Canterra Seeds, bringing the total amount donate.

All winners from the Rooted in the Prairies Project will be featured on the Canterra Seeds Behind the Seeds blog at canterra.com/blog. For more information about Canterra Seeds’ silver anniversary celebration and company history, visit canterra.com/roots.

USask researchers take steps to develop new multiple sclerosis treatments Saskatoon – Research from a University of Saskatchewan (USask) College of Medicine team will help develop medications that can inhibit the nerve cell damage that occurs due to diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS).

The research team has modelled the mechanisms by which a specific cell protein, A1, causes damage to nerve cells, expanding on previous USask research that discovered a link between nerve cell damage and the dysfunction of cell protein A1 in the brains of MS patients. The A1 protein is involved in numerous biological processes, including the development and function of neurons (nerve cells).

Saskatchewan has some of the highest MS rates in the world.

Multiple sclerosis is a disorder of the central nervous system affecting the ability of the brain and spinal cord to communicate. This results in muscle weakness, a lack of muscle control, problems with vision and other neurological symptoms.

An estimated 3,700

people in the province are living with MS. There is currently no known cure.

“A1 dysfunction in nerve cells causes nerve cell death and damage, also known as ‘neurodegeneration’ in MS patients,” said Dr. Michael Levin (MD), USask College of Medicine professor and Saskatchewan MS Clinical Research Chair in Neurology, who led the project.

“Neurodegeneration is the reason why people with MS continue to get worsening neurologic symptoms, even when

they are taking an MS medication.”

By developing knowledge of how the A1 cell protein causes damage to a neuron, the research team hopes to create medications that stop or prevent neurodegenerative processes.

“Our goal is to prevent neurodegeneration, and in doing so, improve the lives of persons living with MS,” said Levin.

In their latest paper published in eNeuro, in which the team modelled A1 protein dysfunction by genetically reducing the amount of A1 protein in

nerve cells, the researchers demonstrated that A1 protein dysfunction causes a reduction in nerve cell growth. Nerve cell branches become shortened and cell-to-cell communication is then compromised, which may lead to neurologic symptoms seen in persons living with MS. Other findings indicate there is an increase in cell toxicity levels from the displacement of A1 proteins, as well as disruptions to the cell’s ability to cope with stress.

Understanding that all three factors—com-

promised nerve cell function, increases in cell toxicity, and compromised stress adaptation of nerve cells—contribute to neurodegeneration in MS patients is crucial for designing treatments that can address these components.

The team is now focusing on testing medications to reverse neurodegeneration in nerve cells grown in the laboratory that mimic those found in MS patients.

“We are hopeful that this will lead to the discovery of medications that can be used in humans, which will

inhibit neurodegeneration and improve the lives of persons living with MS,” said Levin.

Other USask researchers involved in the study include research assistants Amber Anees (MSc student), Hannah Salapa, Catherine Hutchinson and Dr. Patricia Thibault (PhD) from the USask College of Medicine Neurology Division.

The research was funded by the USask College of Medicine and the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation.

EDITORIAL Trade and investment rules shouldn’t undermine climate ambition If world representatives at the UN climate conference in Glasgow put talk into action, we could forestall the worst impacts of the rapidly accelerating climate crisis. But we have to look beyond the Conference of the Parties — COP26 this year. If agreements under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change are undermined through other international structures, we could face a grim future.

Negotiations at COP26 — from October 31 to November 12 — are critical to building on and strengthening measures set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement. They include raising climate finance and finalizing rules on international carbon markets, agreeing on transparency and a global goal for adaptation and more.

One shortcoming of the COP process, though, is that the Paris Agreement’s system of accountability doesn’t allow for enforcement of “nationally determined contributions,” which spell out each country’s plans to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change impacts.

Many countries are filling this gap through national climate laws and litigation.

But climate plans and initiatives can sometimes bring nations into dispute with other international bodies and agreements.

Even though the UNFCCC is the primary arena for global climate co-operation, other international instruments could play a greater role in our climate future. Rules accepted under World Trade Organization and various other trade and investment agreements often benefit destructive, extractive industries to the detriment of national and international climate goals and ambitions.

Multilateral and bilateral trade and investment agreements facilitate the flow of commodities, services, intellectual property and foreign investments between nations.

Under these, private corporations and national governments have been able to sue countries, including Canada, for enacting public-interest environmental regula-

Science Matters tions that could affect the companies’ monetary interests.

Citing the example of a U.K. oil company suing the Italian government for loss of “future anticipated profits” after Italy banned new oil drilling in coastal waters, Guardian writer George Monbiot says the widely adopted “investor-state dispute settlement” process “makes effective action against climate breakdown almost impossible.”

Canada’s approach to global trade and investment has immensely benefited extractive and petrochemical industries and worked against our national climate ambitions. Moreover, under the WTO dispute system, governments have systematically challenged one another’s renewable energy subsidies. For example, in response to complaints from Japan and the European Union, the WTO ruled in 2013 that Ontario’s “feed-in tariff” program for renewable energy discriminated against foreign suppliers by requiring a percentage of materials and services be from Ontario.

While trade obligations and legal action around subsidies for renewable energy slow the urgent global energy transition, subsidies for oil, gas and coal — even some that could be considered illegal under WTO rules — haven’t been subjected to much scrutiny. G7 nations have been promising to phase out fossil fuel subsidies since 1990 but have made little progress.

As long as the world has been crafting climate rules under the UNFCCC, we’ve also been creating climate-destroying rules at the WTO and other spheres of economic “cooperation.”

It’s not that we weren’t warned. Before the 2015 Paris COP21 summit, the European Parliament

seized on a solution proposed by Canadian professor and investment and trade law expert Gus Van Harten for a “legal carve-out” that could be put into the Paris Agreement to ensure investor-state dispute settlement claims against countries wouldn’t apply to climate change measures. Despite a European Parliament resolution, it wasn’t included.

James Bacchus, former chairman and chief judge of the WTO appellate body, has also proposed a WTO climate waiver to harmonize the international trade regime with UNFCCC commitments.

Climate diplomacy has been going on for decades. Since the Paris Agreement was adopted, it’s enjoyed enormous popularity. In light of the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, expectations are high for ambitious government action at COP26.

But it’s crucial to ensure that progress on the climate crisis isn’t being undermined by trade and investment bodies and agreements, and other international entities, that promote continuous growth, consumerism, fossil fuels and extraction at the expense of our collective health and survival.

Above all, COP26 delegates must understand and impress upon the world and all its organizations that it’s time to leave coal, oil and gas in the ground and quickly transition to better energy sources, regardless of challenges from those who profit by fuelling the climate crisis.

It’s been a long time since the curling ice in Canora was filled with activity. After a lost curling season in Canora last year due to the pandemic, plans are underway for a full season of local curling competition and fellowship in 2021/22. -File Photo

Curling in Canora returns Courtesy of Canora Courier For many, curling is a very competitive sport.

But it’s also an opportunity to have some fun and spend time with friends on the ice, something that has been sorely lacking in Canora since COVID19 came on the scene in early 2020.

But the Canora Curling Club held its annual general meeting on October 14, and has announced plans for a full curling season in 2020/21, led by Kelly Beblow, president.

The club is looking forward to starting the season and getting curlers back in the hacks. Every year a free membership is awarded to someone in attendance at the AGM. For the 2021-2022 the membership was won by Patrick Miechkota.

The Club is ready to try out the new refrigeration equipment that was installed by the Town as the pandemic prevented it from being used last year. The Club made repairs to the scoreboards as well, so that they will be ready to go.

Generally, it takes two weeks for the club to get things ready, from the preparation to the finished product. There is a lot of work involved and “they do a great job transforming the Sylvia Fedoruk Centre into one of the most attractive and best ice surfaces around,” said Aaron Herriges, director of Leisure Services.

The club is made up of all volunteers except the hired ice makers. A contract for the ice making has been proposed to Mark and Kelly McTavish to return again. If all goes well, the ice could be ready for the week of November 15.

For anyone looking to register for any of the activities, they can do so by: 1) using the online registration inquiry or printing off a registration

form found under curling at Canora.com; or 2) contact them via their Facebook page or email canoracurling@ gmail.com The Canora Curling Club has a message for everyone thinking about getting involved in local curling.

“Curling is a great recreational opportunity for our citizens of all ages. It’s also a great way for newcomers to meet people, because the game is so relaxed and allows for good conversation. Over the last few years, we’ve seen many new faces get involved and their skill is improving as well. There is a good blend of experience and beginners.”

“The Canora Curling Club has a variety of sliders, brooms, and delivery sticks available for beginners who do not have their own equipment. All that beginners need is comfortable clothing and clean indoor shoes suitable for on-ice activities.

Also, if you have limited ability to slide to deliver a rock, no problem, as the club offers delivery sticks that allow you to deliver great shots standing up. Many of our members use them as they are quite popular and a great way to stay active.”

With the ongoing pandemic, the Club will require all who enter the facility to provide proof of vaccination. The public masking order will resume inside as well.

For information on pandemic regulations, contact the Canora Curling Club.

Bonspiels scheduled for the coming season include: • Christmas Bonspiel – tentatively scheduled for December 26-28, 2021.

• Town and Country Bonspiel – tentatively scheduled for January 26-30, 2022.

• Mens Bonspiel – tentatively scheduled for March 3-6, 2022.

• Ladies Bonspiel –

tentatively scheduled for March 17-20, 2022.

• Mixed Bonspiel – tentatively scheduled for March 24-27, 2022.

• Seniors Bonspiel – tentatively scheduled for January 17-20, 2022. They may also schedule one in November 2021.

• Windup Bonspiel – tentatively scheduled for April 1-3, 2022.

There will be evening Rec curling on Thursday nights. For people looking to register as an individual, the Club can provide help finding a team to play on.

Teams with players who have paid afternoon memberships will receive a prorated fee.

Teams with students enrolled in youth Curling will receive a prorated fee.

Youth Curling will resume on Wednesdays.

Afternoon DropIn Curling is Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.

Sheila Dmitriuk and Shannon Berehula are looking to run the concession again.

Safety tips for seniors living at home Seniors over the age of 65 account for approximately half of all injuryrelated hospitalizations in Canada, and the majority of these are due to slips and falls. In 2021, National Senior Safety Week takes place from November 6 to 12 and is the perfect opportunity to help a senior in your life maximize their safety and independence at home. Here are a few key tips.

IN THE BEDROOM Make sure there’s a clear path between the bed and the door. Install a nightlight or place a light switch near the bed that can be turned on without getting up. These

adjustments will make it easy for your loved one to move around and see where they’re going if they need to get up at night to use the bathroom.

IN THE KITCHEN Keep small items that are used daily, such as utensils, cups, glasses and lids, in easy-to-reach locations. Place items that don’t get used very often, such as plastic dishes and stainlesssteel bowls, up high.

Heavy objects, such as pots, pans and small appliances, should be stored in cabinets and drawers that are close to the ground.

IN THE BATHROOM Install grab bars in the shower and beside the toilet. A bathing chair can be used to make it easier to wash and help prevent leg fatigue. In addition, a non-slip rubber mat with suction cups will make surfaces less slippery.

You can also install a handheld shower, which is easier to handle, as well as a temperature regulator to prevent accidental burns.

Furthermore, make sure there’s adequate lighting in these areas and a sturdy handrail along either side of the staircase.

A little bit of Halloween gaming While it’s not unusual to hold game theme nights, our little ‘gang’ has not made a habit of it – except for Halloween.

It’s just a matter of what games we have.

There isn’t a game in our collection one might suggest as a theme related to Yule, Christmas or even Festivus, so a December theme night never gets considered.

But Halloween, being a times of ghosts, witches, zombies and their ilk, the games we might play is long, from Tiny Epic Zombies to Ghosts and a bunch more.

So this year we planned to play a couple of games befitting of the season.

But, we couldn’t actually play on Halloween as one of our regular’s was running a disc golf tournament Oct. 31, including an evening round in the dark.

And, Halloween eve was out as the Saskatchewan Roughriders were playing on TV and they take precedent over gaming.

So as anyone with multiple hobbies has to do, we compromised and played the afternoon of Oct. 30.

Our first game was

Lockwood’s Asylum, a 2018 release by designer Mason Crawford.

Lockwood’s is a generally much-underappreciated deck-builder, that is easily top-five among deck-builders we’ve played and that is nearly-50 played to-date.

In terms of horror the game drips with theme.

“There have always been rumors surrounding the Lakeshore Asylum,” detailed the game’s successful Kickstarter fundraising page at the time.

“The strange fire back in the days of the Great Depression, the scandal involving the administrator and the flayed bodies in the ‘40s, the missing patients that briefly led to the asylum’s closing in the ‘70s ... they were stories told around campfires by those who had not seen the horror first hand.

“When Dr. Lockwood took over the administration of the asylum, nobody had any reason to be concerned. The doctor was analytical, precise, driven: the perfect person for the job.

“Then Lockwood found the tome, and the rituals and experiments began ...”

The art by David

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com Romero, Alexander Solomon and Jesh Pasiliano is creepy without being garish to further immerse players in the realm of horror.

As luck sometimes happens, the game arrived in the post the afternoon of Oct. 31, back in the day. It was Halloween, and a Wednesday, the night we typically gather the Meeple Guild for some gaming. So of course we broke out Lockwood’s Asylum.

We had played our fair share of deck-builders, and this one immediately set itself as better than most.

The reason was simple enough, this one allows for more player interaction than most deck-builders.

As the Kickstarter campaign noted, “Lockwood’s Asylum

allows players to build not only their own decks, but also the decks of their opponents. Each time a player purchases a monster or horror card, that card goes into the play area - or ‘room’ - of the player to their left.”

The element of influencing other players does make this far more of a

‘take that’ game, which may not suit all, but our group liked it a lot.

Played again this season, this remains an outstanding deck-builder, albeit with a darker theme than some. A mustown if you are a fan of the mechanic, or the genre.

From there we moved to Pandemic: Reign of Cthulu, which was released in 2016 as part of the growing family of ‘Pandemic’ games.

Admittedly, this is one of the weaker offerings in the family, it suffers from being part of a rather esteemed line of games.

Were it to be played without knowledge of its sister games the view would most likely be bet-

ter.

With this one you are battling the minions of Cthulhu, trying to shut down portals of evils before the players all suffer insanity in the face of the power of the dark ones first released upon the world by writer H.P. Lovecraft.

The game is ideal fare for Halloween and we actually managed to turn back the darkness in one of the two play throughs’ this year.

Other things kept us from actually playing on the holiday, but it was no less fun, and the two games chosen were a perfect afternoon of ‘darkness’.

COVID hits Good Spirit School Division New fire hall in Rhein

The RM of Sliding Hills represented by Tyson Beyko, Richardson Pioneer by Dallas Harrison and LDC by Darrel Flunder and Ron Cox, were recognized for their support for the new fire hall in Rhein by Mayor Craig Walsh

to remote learning for the Kindergarten to Grade 5 classes at Yorkdale Central School in Yorkton, as well as, the PJ Gillen School in Esterhazy.

For Yorkdale, the tentative return date to face-to-face instruction is on November 8, with Esterhazy’s return date set for November 15.

Public health stated that they were investigating multiple COVID19 cases at the Yorkdale School, with only a few being investigated at the PJ Gillen School.

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Village of Rhein has a new fire hall, thanks in large part to the donations of several area businesses.

“We started in May,” explained Mayor Craig Walsh at a barbecue Thursday to thank those who helped the village see the project to fruition.

Walsh said recently the village has added to the fire department’s equipment.

“We needed to

upgrade our equipment, and we outgrew the size of the old hall,” he said.

So the village undertook to build a 40X60 building to house their fire truck, two water carriers, command vehicles and associated gear.

The overall project had a price tag of $190,000, with the Village agreeing to cover any costs beyond what could be raised through donations, said Walsh.

“We’ve budgeted this as a five-year capital project to fund anything we can’t raise,” he explained.

So far fundraising has collected some $70,000 including $25,000 from Richardson Pioneer, $10,000 each from LDC and the Rural Municipality of Wallace, with the RM’s of Sliding Hills and Calder each adding $5,000, while Redhead Equipment chipped in $2,000 and Outdoor Sporting and

Construction and Rhein Creek Farms both $2,500, with Rhein Sno Cruzers and Assiniboine Valley Transfer each adding $1,000.

Walsh said the support has been regional because the fire department rolls out to calls “within a 35-mile radius of Rhein,” adding those calls include 10-15 fires such as the call to a grain dryer fire in the midst of cheque donation photos Thursday.

“They had the fire under control very quickly and controlled it from spreading to any buildings, and was able to get it out before any major damage to the grain dryer,” said Walsh Friday, adding “with some minor repairs, it should be operational in a short period of time.”

The department, which has 18-members, also responds to 15-20 motor vehicle accidents each year, said Walsh.

An Article About Nothing Remember the sitcom Seinfeld? The show about nothing?

Last week I began thinking about what I’d write this week that would prove, if in no way brilliant, at least light and funny. Unfortunately, as the days progressed, nothing even remotely interesting came to mind.

I get a little concerned when I fail to see the humour I’m sure exists around me but sometimes, I suppose, life is just like that. So in the vein of Seinfeld, I’ll settle today for writing a little something about, basically, nothing.

Monday morning. It’s dark now when I rise at six a.m. which is one reason why October is not my favourite month, the other being it represents the inevitable winter that’s about to fall upon us. Long story short—on that particular fall morning—it was almost pitch black as I tiptoed across the floor so as to not awaken my husband who enviably got to sleep one hour longer. Misjudging the distance to the bathroom, and unable to see the door which was left half way open, I literally smashed (yes smashed!) straight into the edge of it. This served to not only scrape my hand and give me a head lump but my toe took the brunt of it and immediately swelled to two times it size while turning a lovely purp-

lish blue. After I quickly limped into the bathroom and quietly shut the door, I had to cry a little but I wasn’t sure if that was from painful frustration, the sudden headache, a bruised hand or my throbbing toe. Soon, however, the toe won that vote when I stuffed it into my work shoe with the rest of my foot and was subsequently reminded of it all day and for the entirety of the week.

Escalating anxiety from a few things workinvolved, and otherwise, wore me down throughout the following days and in true form, like the volcano I’ve often been compared too, I and a few unfortunate others experienced a vocal explosion which I wasn’t very proud of. It was a relief, however, that my head didn’t blow off or the heads of those around me. But because of this …

The very next day, as God willed it with the sense of humour I know He has, came my comeuppance. I again found myself at the dentist (no—still no bottom tooth!) but this time the “fix” was so far in the back of my mouth that after what seemed a very lengthy hour, something surprisingly unexpected happened.

Immediately after the procedure the dentist said, “Okay. You can close your mouth now,” and I … could not. There

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Regional High School Raider Gridders had only one blemish on the record in the regular season, a onepoint loss in Weyburn on opening day.

As fate would have it the Raiders Gridders headed to Weyburn Saturday to face the same team in the league final.

And, for the local Gridders the result was the same, albeit by a bigger margin, losing to Weyburn 21-7.

“They scored right at the end of the game,” said Yorkton head coach Roby Sharpe, adding it

The loss was of course “frustrating,” said Sharpe.

“It was one of those things, you play on the road you feel you get a few calls against you.”

The big call was a touchdown by Yorkton called back on a hold.

But it was just one of those days of little misses, observed Sharpe, noting a couple of missed field goals, and some open receivers missed because of the wind.

Thankfully, after some massage and then, from my increasing desperation, a forceful push to one side, it finally snapped shut. Literally.

War amputee veterans started 100-year legacy Of the thousands of Canadian soldiers who were wounded while serving in the First and Second World Wars, many returned home missing limbs. United by a common bond of amputation, these veterans not only served their country during wartime, but they made a difference in the lives of generations of amputees that continues today.

In 1916, on the battlefields at Ypres in Northern Belgium, Sidney Lambert (1887 – 1971), a Lieutenant Colonel and Army Padre, lost his left leg above the knee.

While recovering at a hospital in Toronto, Lambert conceived of the idea of a national association to bring together, support and fight the battles for amputee veterans, today known as The War Amps.

In 1920, he became the first Dominion President of the Association and worked tirelessly to bring veterans issues before the government.

It was these First World War amputee veterans, like Lambert, who welcomed the new contingent of amputee veterans following the Second World War, helping them

adapt to their new reality and sharing all that they had learned.

One of these was Neil Conner (1918 – 2012) who served as a navigator with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was injured when his plane was shot down near Bremen, Germany, resulting in the loss of his right leg below the knee.

Another was Bert Coulson (1921 – 1979) who served with the Canadian Army and lost both of his legs below the knee due to injuries sustained while serving in Emmerich, Germany.

Along with their fellow War Amps members, these veterans went on to provide support to civilian amputees.

Coulson said the best way to help was to “roll up my pant leg and show them we can dance, bowl, hold down a normal job.

It’s what you have left that counts.”

The War Amps veteran members established the Key Tag Service, which is still going strong today, to fund the Association’s many vital programs for amputees across Canada.

Rob Larman, a Director at The War Amps and a leg amputee himself, said Mr.

Lambert, Conner and Coulson proved that they would not let their amputation hold them back in all aspects of life.

“Though they considered themselves to be ‘ordinary guys,’ our founding veteran members have left a legacy for generations of amputees that has gone on for 100 years and counting,” said Larman.

“On Remembrance Day especially, but also throughout the year, we pay tribute to their sacrifice and service.”

Lady Gridders fall in PGFL final

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Lady Gridders came up just a bit short in their quest to win the inaugural Prairie Girls Football League championship.

The Gridders were in Moosomin Sunday for the final facing the Generals, the only team to chalk up a win against Yorkton in the regular season.

And they would add the championship in a close fought contest edging Yorkton 26-18.

Yorkton head coach Tyrell MacLean said it was a tough loss to take.

“It’s very disappointing. I thought we were the better team – I know

we were the better team.

It just didn’t work for us,” he said Monday morning. “. . . It was a tough ride home.”

In spite of MacLean’s assertion, they were the better team, the Generals controlled Sunday’s final.

“We trailed the whole game,” he said. “But it was close.”

The Gridders should be back in the hunt in 2022, losing only seven players to graduation and potentially returning more than 20.

MacLean said the foundation is there for next year, but conceded the team is “losing some big pieces” so there will be a need for some players to step into bigger roles next season.

All-girl hockey on the increase in local popularity Courtesy of Preeceville Progress Camryn Nelson of Preeceville is part of the increasing movement of all-girl hockey in the local area.

Nelson plays with the all-female U15A team, Prairie Ice. The team is based out of Canora and this is Nelson’s second year with the team.

Her dad Jesse Nelson helps to coach the team.

She plays the right wing position and her team kicked off its season with a win against Melville. The team newly formed in 2020 season and were only allowed limited ice time due to COVID-19.

“We are all looking forward to a great new season and remain hopeful that we can keep playing games and in tournaments,” said Nelson.

“The team formed when numerous girls decided that they wanted the opportunity to play. There was not a team locally based and Prairie Ice formed. It gives girls who would like to play an opportunity to play but without the full body contact,” she said.

Camryn started skating at an early age with the Preeceville Figure Skating Club. She progressed through the years and currently has achieved her Junior Bronze dance in Star Skate and has been teaching younger skaters for the past three

years. She was encouraged by her dad Jesse and brother Hudsyn, who played hockey from an early age, to try the sport of hockey. She strapped on a pair of hockey skates at the age of 9 years and has never looked back as she played two years in each division of Atom, Peewee and Bantam.

“It was a real challenge for me to get used to hockey skates since all I had ever skated on were figure skates, which are so very different.

Playing on a traditional boys team was fun, I made lots of great lifelong friendships and learned great skills and techniques. I could play at the Midget level but at that level it is full contact and it is a little too much for me. That is what made me want to join the all-girl hockey team.

It is very different and has made me a better player,” she said.

Female hockey provides the opportunity for girls to engage in a healthy, active lifestyle while developing new friendships that will last after the hockey season ends. Female hockey allows girls to develop as athletes and as citizens of Saskatchewan, learning key life lessons through their participations in Canada’s game. Set goals and work hard to achieve their goals, stated the Saskatchewan Female Hockey League.

Cote FN Elder interviewed by Anderson Cooper Warning: This story contains details that some might find distressing.

Courtesy of Kamsack Times On Sunday, October 10, Grant Severight, a 70 year-old Elder from Cote First Nation, travelled to the site of the Marieval Residential School on the Cowessess First Nation located approximately 155 kilometres east of Regina. It was there that he sat for an interview with celebrity journalist, Anderson Cooper, and a documentary crew from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).

Severight is a residential school survivor who, as a young boy, attended the St. Phillips residential school on the Cote First Nation as well as the Marieval residential school.

The Elder explained to the Kamsack Times that the interview was part of a 60 Minutes documentary program intended to explore Canada’s Indigenous history with a focus on the residential school system.

Severight spent a good portion of the day with Cooper who also interviewed Cowessess Chief Cadmus Delorme and a number of others who attended the community event.

“Anderson Cooper is a really wonderful man,” Severight shared. “He is the real deal. He shared some very personal details about his life with me. He was friendly and playful with all of the little Indigenous children. We spent a good two hours just talking, as well as most of the day together. I didn’t really know much about him before I met him, but getting to know him –

I was so impressed – just a really magnificent man.”

A crew from the BBC set up a number of lights and cameras on the infamous residential school site where an unimaginable 715 unmarked graves were discovered in June of this year using groundpenetrating radar technology.

During the on-camera interview, Severight discussed his painful memories from attending St. Phillips residential school near his home on the Cote Nation and then being sent to the Marieval residential school around the age of 11.

Severight said during his time at St. Phillips, he was subjected to ongoing sexual abuse from a music teacher and realized he wasn’t alone when he observed the man abusing other boys at the school.

“We figure he’d sexually abused at least 50 boys at that school,” asserted Severight.

“There was a stone monument placed near the school, dedicated to this offender – his name was Ralph Gray. We got permission to have that stone removed and destroyed this summer.

That was just one more, small step in the healing process.”

By the time he reached Grade 8, Severight ran away from school and became a street alcoholic – panhandling to buy continuous bottles to numb his pain and rage.

“The RCMP would keep charging us with petty crimes like having ‘open liquor’ or ‘public

drunkenness.’ Of course, none of us had any money to pay those fines.

The system was full of prejudice and we had no compassion from anyone. So, we ended up in jail. In fact, the police would round us all up in bus loads and stick us all in jail. At one time, I was sitting in jail with three generations of my family - my grandfather, my father, and I were all in there.”

Eventually, Severight attempted to escape custody and was ultimately sent to a high security prison in Prince Albert.

“Looking back, that may have been the best thing for me,” admitted Severight. “I finished my Grade 12 and I was wellbehaved. The very day I got out of the penitentiary, I started a job right away and my life changed for the better. I became high on healing.”

As a young professional, Severight wrote papers about his experience in residential schools and was one of

the few people able to speak openly about the abuse he suffered. He earned a Master’s Degree in Adult Education and became the first Indigenous therapist to be certified with Health Canada.

Severight would soon become a spokesperson and mental health advocate who understood first-hand about the lasting damage of the residential school system and associated systemic racism. He was handpicked to work with gangs in urban centres like Winnipeg’s Indian Posse and violent innercity Chicago gangs. In Saskatoon, he worked with an organization that helped inmates get back on their feet when they were released from jail.

During a teaching stint with the Teacher’s College at the University of Saskatchewan, the majority of his students were young, white social workers – many of whom had never even heard of residential schools in Canada.

For twelve years,

Severight flew from his home in Saskatoon to Ottawa every Monday and returned every Friday to work for the Aboriginal Healing Foundation – a not-forprofit, private corporation dedicated to encourage and support healing from a variety of abuses inflicted at Canada’s residential schools.

“I was Stephen Harper’s token Indian for a while,” winked Severight. “But you know, Mr. Harper told me straight out that he didn’t care much about Indigenous issues.”

Harper’s conservative government would ultimately cut funding to the program in 2010, which resulted in a closure of the foundation in 2014.

Today, Severight says it is his personal goal to demonstrate and pass on a healing legacy of sobriety and wellness. In his latest work at the Chief Gabriel Cote Education Complex on his homeland, he hopes to become known as a “Mushum” (meaning Grandfather) to all. He speaks proudly

of his four daughters, one daughter who has passed away, and his grandson.

“I raised my grandson, so he calls me dad.

He says he wants to become a therapist – like me. I’m happy about that.

I’m very proud of all of my children.”

Severight is currently working on a book entitled, Disconnected that details his healing journey, career, and experience with a number of high-profile politicians and organizations. He continues the work he started with the Legacy of Hope Foundation.

“While the goal of the residential school was to ‘Take the Indian out of the child”, explained Severight, “Our task is to put the Indian back in the child to create identity and pride.”

The episode on 60 Minutes that features Severight’s personal childhood experience is expected to be aired sometime between late November and January of 2022.

Ottenbreit outlines Throne Speech

By Tanner Wallace-Scribner Staff Writer Premier Scott Moe recently gave his Throne Speech as a new session of the Saskatchewan Legislature began.

The main focus of the speech was a focus on managing through the hopeful end of the pandemic and creating significant economic development and job creation.

Greg Ottenbreit, the MLA for Yorkton, said the speech outlines a plan for when the province comes out of the pandemic “I’ve seen some public criticism of not diving more into COVID,” he said.

“There was a definite focus on COVID and the response but also a vision going forward because we know we are going to come out of this.”

Ottenbreit said he feels the future is

bright for the province.

“A focus on the upcoming and current investments that are coming to the province. Saskatchewan is wellpositioned in many different areas,” he said. “For the future economy, when you start moving towards electric vehicles, there is going to be a need for lithium and rare earth, and we have that. The shortage of helium throughout the world, and we’ve got the expansion of our helium industry here in the province. Then you start looking at lumber, agriculture, potash, fertilizer, and there are so many different things that Saskatchewan is well-positioned for, probably better than any jurisdiction in Canada, or maybe in the world to recover and grow from our current situation that we have been in over the last year and a half. It’s quite exciting moving forward, we’ve got a lot of attention on Saskatchewan right now, and I

think the future does look pretty bright.

The investments mentioned by Ottenbreit include major projects resulting in billions of dollars in economic investment in the province and thousands of new jobs.

Some of these projects include a new potash mine, three new canola crushing plants, and the expansion of an existing plant, Canada’s first wheat straw pulp facility, a new oriented strand board mill, expanded and upgraded sawmills; and a new seeder assembly facility.

Other ways the government plans to encourage and attract new investment to the province are by enhancing the Saskatchewan Value-Added Agriculture Incentive, providing financing to Indigenous businesses through a new Saskatchewan Indigenous Investment Finance Corporation; and launching a new Sustainable

Saskatchewan brand that will promote the high quality and environmental sustainability of products produced in Saskatchewan.

The Throne Speech also outlined plans to address crime, particularly in rural areas, through an increased police presence. They also plan to increase the number of addiction treatment beds in the province, including adding 150 new addictions treatment spaces over the next three years and the speech outlines many Truth and Reconciliation measures the government is taking.

“This Throne Speech outlines an ambitious agenda for a strong and growing province,” Moe said.

“Saskatchewan people know that our province’s best days are still ahead, and our government will continue to work hard every day to reflect that optimism and confidence.”
