Ambulances, fire trucks, now among vehicles allowed to use blue lights The Vehicle Equipment Regulations amendment takes effect immediately You’re now more likely to see blue lights flashing when there is an emergency in Saskatchewan. The Government of Saskatchewan has amended The Vehicle Equipment Regulations to allow more emergency vehicles to add blue

flashing lights to their existing lights. The law goes into effect immediately and impacts: • ambulances and fire-fighting vehicles; and • emergency vehicles that have been desig-

nated by a municipality or the Highway Traffic Board to be used in response to an emergency. “This change is a way to protect the people who care for us in life’s most extreme situations,” said Minister Responsible for

SGI Don Morgan. “When you see blue lights, you pay attention. By improving the visibility, we’re helping keep first responders and other road users safe.” Emergency vehicles covered under this legislative change are not

required to be equipped with blue lights; organizations that wish to incorporate this into their fleet now have the option to do so. Police vehicles, tow trucks, service vehicles and snowplows were already permitted to use blue flashing lights

in Saskatchewan. Remember: drivers must slow to 60 kilometres per hour when passing emergency vehicles or tow trucks stopped at roadside with lights flashing, no matter what colour those lights are.

Sask. ag exports hit record in 2021 By Sierra D’Souza Butts Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (The World-Spectator Moosomin) Saskatchewan exported a record value of agriculture exports in 2021 as higher prices more than made up for lower pro-

duction due to drought conditions. Saskatchewan’s agricultural exports were worth $17.5 billion in 2021, which set another new record for the province. The 2021 total was an increase of almost seven per cent over the rec-

ord of $16.4 billion set in 2020, which itself surpassed the previous year by 27 per cent. Leading agri-food export commodities in 2021 continue to be canola seed, canola oil, nondurum wheat, lentils, durum and dry peas, with top international market destinations including the United States, China, Japan and Mexico. “These record export numbers show Saskatchewan is in a strong position to continue producing and supplying the world-class agricultural products a growing world wants and needs,” Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “Our growing export base is creating economic opportunity, good jobs and generating investment for communities across the province.”

Agri-food exports represented nearly half of Saskatchewan exports in 2021, valued at $37.1 billion. Saskatchewan overcame challenges including infrastructure disruptions due to adverse weather events in British Columbia to remain one of Canada’s leading agri-food exporters, with a global reputation as a consistent supplier of safe, high quality, sustainability-produced agri-food products. Saskatchewan exported more than $2.6 billion in each of its key crop product sectors—cereal grains, oilseeds, pulses and edible oils—in 2021. Compared to 2020, canola oil saw an increase of over 50 per cent, with exports to the United States increasing 72 per cent from $1.1 billion to $1.9 billion. Canola oil to South

Korea also experienced a dramatic increase of 106 per cent from $71 million to $146 million. “Saskatchewan’s agriculture industry is, and has always been, a significant part of our economy - with an impact that extends far beyond our provincial borders,” Agriculture Minister David Marit said. “Our producers have fed the world for generations, and we continue to enable the innovation necessary to keep feeding the world’s growing population, expected to be 10 billion people by 2050. These export figures prove once again that we’re up to that challenge and well on the way to meeting the future goals we’ve set.” Saskatchewan has grown its agricultural exports by more than 56 per cent since 2012. The province’s ongoing international market expansion plans are progressing with the establishment of new trade and investment offices in the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Mexico and Vietnam in addition to existing offices in Japan, India, China and Singapore. The value-added processing and agri-

culture sectors are major components of Saskatchewan’s Growth Plan goals, which include increasing crop production to 45 million tonnes, agriculture exports to $20 billion, and value-added revenue to $10 billion by the end of this decade. The most recent example of progress toward these targets includes the announcement by Federated Co-operatives Ltd. of their plans to develop a renewable diesel facility as well as a canola crushing plant in Regina, in partnership with AGT Foods, with a capacity of 1.1 million tonnes and combined economic benefits estimated at $4.5 billion. Saskatchewan has the second-highest GDP per capita in Canada, second only to Alberta. Minister Marit spoke about what he expects the records of crops to be like in the future. “We’re hoping to achieve very significant numbers, our growth strategy is we want to hit 45 metric tonnes by 2030. When you look at that number alone just on the food production side and the livestock side of things, you’ll see $3 billion there as well,” said Marit. “When you see those numbers of production of the livestock side as well, you’re obviously going to see an increase in the value of that trend, so you’ll see those dollars increase as well.” “What it really means is that agriculture always has and always will be a leading industry in this province. When you look at what global companies are doing and the record investments they made into this province, these are significant investment dollars that these companies are making in this province, to increase value added production.” “I think what it recognizes is that global companies and countries around the world, have recognized that there’s a huge opportunity in the food production side from the province of Saskatchewan, that’s what it tells me.”

Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba names new president By Chelsea Kemp Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Brandon Sun) A new president has taken over at the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba. Longtime volunteer and Westman community member Kathy Cleaver was elected president of the Provincial Exhibition board at the director’s annual general meeting Monday. She replaces Greg Crisanti, who held the position since February 2020. He will remain on the executive as past-president. Clint Swain was elected vice-president and five directors — Connie Bok, Dallas Johnston, Clarke Swain, Shirley Neudorf and Brent Miller — were elected to twoyear terms. “I believe in the organization. I’ve worked hard for years,” Cleaver said. “We all just need to put our backs together and stay the course until we get back in businesses properly.” Cleaver has been a key player in the organization, previously serving as a pastpresident, vice-president and director. She first became involved as a director in 2005

and gradually took on different roles and obligations. Cleaver also sits on the Keystone Centre board as a representative from the Provincial Ex. “My heart’s in making sure that building thrives and our organization thrives. We have synergy where we work together,” Cleaver said. “It’s just really been a good fit for me.” Cleaver initially became immersed with the Provincial Ex as a “horse kid” and went on to work for Agriculture Canada for 32 years as a barley breeder technician. She was also a rodeo enthusiast and showed her horse, giving her a natural inclination toward anything equine. “The Winter Fair was a must-attend since I moved to Brandon in 1976. That is where you went in the spring,” Cleaver said. “I just really invested my whole social life around the Keystone Centre.” Cleaver comes to the role after the organization has faced two years of uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the most pressing issues at the non-profit has been fundraising after seeing major events such as the Royal Manitoba Winter Fair can-

celled for two years in a row during the public health crisis. While events have not always been possible during the pandemic, the non-profit has obligations to fulfil as an organization — including the mortgage on the Dome Building. The crew is planning for the Winter Fair, Cleaver said, and “every hope and prayer” is centred on public measures being eased so the community staple can take place. “I think the future is very bright. We’ve worked really hard to keep our necks above water,” Cleaver said. “We’re in the event business, so everyone that’s there is looking forward to better times.” The organization is also gearing up for the President’s Dinner taking place Feb. 24 at the Victoria Inn and the Winter Fair at the end of March at the Keystone Centre. The event has been cancelled the past two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while the President’s Dinner was unable to go ahead in 2021. Agricultural education is a critical piece of the non-profit and the official mandate of the organization. Cleaver said she has a

growing concern that people are increasingly becoming divorced from agriculture as the greater population opts for urban life. “Every kid used to have grandpa and grandma on the farm. You went to the farm. Now we’re more urban — there’s an obligation to give a true story about agriculture, how your food is raised. A true story of animal husbandry. I think that you believe what you hear first; we have a mandate and a strong ag education program where we bring that to them and let them learn,” Cleaver said. It is critical to provide Brandonites with access to tangible and textile agricultural experiences where people can “smell it, hear it, feel it, see it.” There are so many pivotal agriculture stories to tell, Cleaver said, adding she feels strongly about keeping ag at the forefront while helping out the community. Upcoming Provincial Ex events have only been bolstered by the up to $25,000 in grant funding announced by the provincial government in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

The funds were announced Sunday and are designed to leave a legacy for the queen while celebrating Manitoba history. The Royal Manitoba Winter Fair is one of six organizations earmarked for the funding, along with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, Royal Manitoba Yacht Club, Royal Military Institute of Manitoba, the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre and the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada. To mark the occasion, the province of Manitoba is providing grant funding with a focus on reconciliation to facilitate initiatives throughout 2022. “The goal is to honour our past and our history with the royal family and the queen, and also to give and to tie the two and to live with truth and reconciliation,” Cleaver said. The jubilee money and the development behind it will be partially geared toward agriculture at Provincial Ex, Cleaver said, adding it is exciting to be building a “bricks and mortar” legacy for the organization. “There should be something left there for future generations to see.”

Saskatchewan’s strong economy leads nation in growth in two key economic indicators S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s strong economy is leading the country in yearover-year growth in manufacturing sales and wholesale trade. S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s manufacturing sales increased 35.8 per cent (seasonally adjusted) between December 2020 and December 2021, while wholesale trade increased 32 per cent (seasonally adjusted) between December 2020 and December 2021. “This significant growth shows the strength of Saskatchewan’s economy and that we are creating wealth and good jobs for communities across the province,” Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “With one of Canada’s most competitive business environments, we will continue to increase exports and attract investment to support this economic growth.” The sectors that had the highest increases in manufacturing sales

between December 2020 and December 2021 were chemical manufacturing (94 per cent), food manufacturing (16 per cent), and fabricated metal products (13 per cent). Three of the top performing sectors that drove the year-overyear growth in wholesale trade were building materials and supplies, motor vehicle and motor vehicle parts and

EDITORIAL Tales of lacrosse told from the inside When you attend a Saskatchewan Rush game it’s great to arrive early enough to watch the team’s warm-up, and just marvel at the stick skills of the players. But while players can do some remarkable things, a constant for them all is throwing the ball against the wall, catching it and repeating over, and over and over, a near mechanical skill learned from their earliest days in lacrosse. • From Tales of a Lacrosse Troubadour by Jim Calder The raptor flies hundreds of feet above the Great Turtle … soaring lazily on the updrafts … north to south … our Grandfather the Sun shining on the sweeping eagle … Below … the eagle’s sharp eye picks up movement along the way … Thump … thump … thump … thump … a rez kid bouncing the hard rubber ball off the outdoor box boards … his feet planted on the dirt floor … in touch with Mother Earth … the hallowed ground for the community … he’s holding a beautiful hickory long stick made just for him by the local stickmaker. So starts a very personal story of lacrosse by someone who isn’t exactly a well-known name in the sport outside perhaps those most closely involved with it, but someone who is sort of ‘Forrest Gump-like’ turning up at many of the most notable moments of the game in the last half century. Born in Canada, but moving south at a young age, Calder fell in love with lacrosse like it was the sport he was destined to play. • From Tales of a Lacrosse Troubadour by Jim Calder Remember that day when your gym teacher gave you that wooden stick and ball to try out? You were serious about baseball back then and you were pretty good at that game. But something shot through you when you picked up the hickory stick, even though you weren’t quite sure how to handle it. You ended up going to the wall of your nearby school. At first you’d hit the wall, the ball would careen off, and you’d miss stopping it, much less catching it. You would have to run after it out in the field some fifty yards or more. After

CALVIN DANIELS

Sports awhile that got tiring, so you really started to focus on throwing and catching the ball so you wouldn’t have to chase it every time. The wall proved valuable lessons. At first you missed quite a great deal of the time. But as the days rolled by, you were chasing less, and catching more and more. The great thing about it was that you could do this on your own if you couldn’t find a buddy to go with you, even though it was more fun to have company. The wall was your teacher, your guru, your sensei. Baseball was still fun, but your mind wandered back to the stick, the ball and the wall. When can I go to the wall again? Baseball season finally ended, and you already knew that next spring you might be doing something different. You might try out for the junior high lacrosse team. The stick and the fling you had were destined. Destiny had you find this game, and it welcomed you. It knew you had the right stuff to play it correctly. . . You are born twice if you are a lacrosse player. Your mother brings you into the world for your first day. And then, a few years or perhaps many years later, you are given your first lacrosse stick by someone who loves the game. And if you are a lacrosse player, you are born a second time. You have met your game and what will be your focus for many decades to come. That first day of your second birth you know all you will ever need to know. It is an innate knowledge. I’m not saying you know all the stickhandling, dodging, shooting or defensive moves that come as time rolls by. Those skills are the gifts from living in the physical world, meeting the right sensei’s, gurus and teachers at the right time, and working hard at your craft and passion. I am saying you know the feeling of being a lacrosse player, the sense of finding the game you

were meant to play. This instinctive knowledge comes from the Creator. It is a tingle that goes through your body as you hold the stick for the first time. It tells you that you have arrived at your game. You recognize that the essence of this gift is from the Creator. Calder became very good with that stick, eventually attending Hobart University, winning the NCAA title in 1977. After he graduated Calder thought he was done with lacrosse in a world before pro lacrosse, but he was only just starting. Calder would learn he could play for Team Canada, and that would set him on a course to be part one of the biggest moments in Canadian lacrosse history. It was July 1978 – yours truly had just graduated high school – and Team Canada was at Edgeley Park, Stockport, England was the World Championships (of field lacrosse). The United States were the juggernaut favourites. Canada a ragtag group most far more at home in an arena playing lacrosse than on a massive outdoor field with the weird ‘long-stick’ defenders to deal with. When the teams met in the round robin Goliath had smitten David. It was not even close. The sport might become Canada’s official summer game, but it didn’t look like this country’s game in a 28-4 loss. But the teams would meet again in the championship final. • From Tales of a Lacrosse Troubadour by Jim Calder When you look at the 17-16 final score in Canada’s “upset for the ages” over the United States, it’s hard to fathom how just four days earlier the USA had throttled the Canadians 28-4 in what was the greatest margin of international victory at that time. The gold medal game was anticipated by all to be a one-sided affair. The USA could certainly have a mediocre day and still

In sports, all games are played for a reason and all outcomes are possible. But seriously, coming back to play in the championship for silver was the only foreseeable slim possibility for Canada. I’ve already told you about the bus ride to Edgeley Park from our residence at the University of Manchester. We tool that energy into the game and hit Team USA hard. We actually got up to an 8-3 lead in the first half. John Grant got us going with an early behind-the-back shot that only a Canadian box player could provide at the time. His shot showed that we were loose and hungry. But the games were – four twenty-five minute quarters back then – and you had time to get back in the game, which is what the USA did. The US fought back hard and Canada hung on to a 10-9 lead at the half. There was a great deal of game to go! Mistakes were made on both sides. I remember missing two beautiful outlet passes from Flintoff before I settled down. The great USA defenseman Dom Starsia writes of a mistake he made late in the game on a clear where he forced things rather than settling the ball down. You remember the good plays and the bad ones forever. The USA battled back to a 14-13 lead at the end of the third. Canada tied it up 16-16 with three minutes and seven seconds to go. Canada’s goalie, Bob Flintoff, made twenty-one saves

that day as compared to the USA’s total off eleven stops by two goalies. It may have been the game of his life. The Yanks outshot the Maple Leafers 62-41 that day. I remember the last part of the overtime. The USA committed a slash penalty in the second overtime period. Overtime periods were five minutes long back then. Canada was manup for the second time in overtime. We moved the ball around the perimeter and it went from me to Mike French. Mike made it look like he’d reverse the direction, and then Stan Cockerton snuck around the far side of the goal. Mike found him and Stan was not going to miss – he scored his sixth of the day! There were only twenty seconds left in the second overtime. And Calder’s story goes on. He would be involved in the birth of the Toronto Rock of the National Lacrosse League. He would be deeply involved in the 150th celebration of lacrosse in 2017. He would become something of a historian of the sport. It is the stuff of a great book, one lacrosse fans will truly appreciate – check it out at www. lacrossetheancientgame. com “As you get older and you can’t play anymore, you coach. You build the sport. You appreciate the history of the game,” said Calder in a recent interview with Yorkton This Week. Calder is particularly interested in the history, the sport’s cultural significance to First Nations peoples. “Because of its Indigenous roots it’s really not comparable to any

other sport,” he said. Today, Calder seeks to know the roots of lacrosse, its history. “I’m finding out about the history of this game in a very informal way,” he said. Calder said while he was involved in many memorable moments the best for lacrosse lies ahead. “Now lacrosse is probably one of the fastest growing sports in North America, It’s really coming into its golden game,” he offered, adding when the 6v6 outdoor version of the game debuts at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles it will be huge push for growth. “. . . I was just thrilled it finally has a return to the Olympics, (it was last on the sport roster in 1908). It’s good for the game internationally.”

Soccer simulation mimics real thing well To begin with, it should be noted that those of us in our informal little Meeple Guild who do follow sports, a range of fanatic to barely aware they exist, are still not soccer fans. As one of the group noted, the venn diagram of sports fan and gamer is a small overlap. Yet, we do love fantasy ‘soccer/football’ games such as Dreadball, Guild Ball and Blood Bowl. So it was with some definite interest when UND1C1 arrived. UND1C1 is a tabletop soccer simulator for two players, each acting as the coach of a soccer team. Before opening the box there was a realization that if the game was too reliant on charts and

the actual details of a sport we don’t follow it was likely to be shelved rather quickly. That said however, opening the box was a good start to liking UND1C1. The quality of the components is excellent. It starts with a very well-marked neoprene play mat which rolls up neatly for storage. Neoprene ‘boards’ are just hard to beat. The ‘players’ or pieces if you will, are plastic discs which you do have to put stickers on, which with 16 per side, and each two-sided, and with multiple teams, was a tad tedious, but the end results are nice looking on the board. Pieces have a player name, number, and small

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com graphic which is an easy guide to initial game placement, and then a bunch of symbols – more on this in a bit. Players get a handful of cards which influence game play when used, and again they are nice quality. As is the rulebook. Each coach controls a team of 11 players and has a deck of 20 strategy cards.

Strategy cards differ by color, duration and effects, and can be used to boost one team’s game or to inhibit the opponent’s strategy. The strategy cards are also the game timer. You must draw a card at the end of your turn. Draw the last card, play one more turn and the game ends. It’s a neat mechanic. On a turn a player may play up to three actions, move, pass, shoot etc., and use up to three strategy cards. Some actions are automatic, a player without the ball may move one or two boxes. Others, like taking a shot, require a dice roll, where you must achieve a certain number based on various factors to be successful. So a pass depends on how far away the player receiving the pass is, and how may opponent pieces are next to the receiver. The use of dice rolls are very familiar if you have played the aforementioned fantasy football games. Then there are the symbols. A piece with a playmaker gets a bonus when passing, cannon a bonus when shooting for a goal, rabbit, can

move extra spaces, tractor, can perform an extra movement, etc. Again, this is very familiar from fantasy games, where players usually have a card with various ‘special abilities.’ Using the iconography right on the pieces is super simple, and allows an opponent to see who is on the pitch too. So much of what is here has been used in other ‘ball’ sim board games, with some neat refinements, like the

skills on the player piece, but while not new, it sure works slick in this package. It ends up UND1C1 is very much Blood Bowl without the violence, or Dreadball sans the dread, and that’s fine, it works. You have dribbles and soccer tackles, and crosses and headers and it ends up working. This is a very accessible sport simulation well work a look. Check it out at www.und1c1.com)

One way you can make a difference is to limit your carbon footprint by supporting sustainable companies. Unfortunately, greenwashing has become more prevalent than ever. This term describes companies that make false claims or overstate the environmental beneﬁts of their services and products. Here are three ways to tell if your favourite brands are greenwashed.

packaging to seem more eco-friendly than they are. Don’t be fooled by pretty packaging. Read the label, and look for official seals and certifications like the Green Seal and Non-GMO Project Verified label.

3. SUSTAINABLE RANGES Recently, a number of big brands have created green product lines alongside their usual offerings. However, these products often represent only a tiny portion of their overall production. Indeed, many major brands hope these initiatives will appeal to the masses, but the reality is, they haven’t magically

become sustainable overnight. Although some companies are trying to do their part for the environment, it’s important to do your research. This Earth Day, help protect the planet by ﬁnding out which companies are truly sustainable and do your best to support them.

1. GENERIC LANGUAGE It may be a red ﬂag if the product you use has packaging covered in vague buzzwords like all-natural, nontoxic, sustainable and recyclable. Unfortunately, these terms aren’t government regulated and can be used by any company regardless of their environmental practices. To ﬁnd out if a product is truly sustainable, check the ingredient list or visit the company’s website to determine if they can back up their claims. 2. PRETTY PACKAGING If a product has attractive packaging, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s greenwashed. However, many greenwashed companies use misleading images or earthy colours like green, brown and blue on their

Animal health control area order limits poultry events due to avian influenza An animal health control area order has been put in place in Saskatchewan to limit the co-mingling of poultry, due to the risk of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). The order from Saskatchewan’s Chief Veterinary Officer prohibits the movement to and participation of birds in shows, auctions and agricultural fairs, as

well as any other events where birds would be brought together from multiple locations. The order is in effect immediately and will be in place until May 14, 2022, when the situation will be revisited. The intent of this order is to temporarily reduce the likelihood of direct contact between birds from different locations during the

period of time where the risk for HPAI outbreaks is imminent. By implementing this order, the risk of disease transmission between flocks is reduced. HPAI has been detected in multiple provinces in Canada with Saskatchewan reporting its first case in waterfowl on April 8, 2022. Several provinces have been or are

currently experiencing outbreaks in domestic poultry, most recently in Albert and Ontario. Poultry producers and small flock owners are reminded to follow all necessary biosecurity protocols to protect their flocks from the disease by keeping wild birds away from poultry flocks and their food and water supply, limiting visitors and monitoring

bird health. Small flock owners are encouraged to confine their birds indoors if possible, during wild bird migration. Producers should contact their veterinarian immediately if they have concerns about the health status of their flocks. If HPAI is suspected, producers should also contact their local Canadian Food Inspection Agency

office. The provincial Chief Veterinary Officer has authority to make orders for the purposes of disease prevention and control under Section 2-5 of The Animal Health Act. Anyone with further questions on avian influenza in poultry can contact the Ministry of Agriculture’s Veterinary Unit at 1-306-787-2150.

5 reasons to organize an Earth Day activity Every year, Earth Day takes place in spring. This annual event presents the perfect opportunity to raise awareness about the environment. Here are ﬁve good reasons to organize an Earth Day activity on April 22. 1. TO SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION FOR NATURE Earth Day is an ideal occasion to celebrate nature and pay attention to the issues that affect the environment. Use this day to implement actions that will positively impact the planet. 2. TO MOBILIZE THOSE AROUND YOU You have the power to inﬂuence the people in your community and raise awareness about various environmental issues. Organizing an activity can be a fun way to encourage taking small steps toward protecting the planet. 3. TO HELP YOUR COMMUNITY If there’s a beautiful green space in your region like a park or hiking trail, organize an event to help raise awareness about the importance of preserving it.

4. TO PARTICIPATE IN A GLOBAL MOVEMENT Earth Day is a worldwide event. On this day, become part of something bigger by joining people from around the globe as they take action to improve the environment. 5. TO SHARE ENVIRONMENTAL IDEOLOGIES Earth Day is the perfect time to tell your friends, family members and online community about the things you’re doing to preserve the planet. By sharing your practices and beliefs, you can encourage those around you to take up their own sustainable habits. If you don’t have the time to organize an Earth Day activity, consider joining an event in your community.

able disease that is not yet present in North America but is a serious threat to the Canadian pork industry. The SCIC and the Ministry of Agriculture work closely with the public, producer associations like Sask Pork, and rural municipalities to monitor and deal with feral pigs in the province. This issue is among various areas of mutual interest and cooperation between the province and the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) which recently requested a collaborative, longterm solution to the wild boar/feral pigs issue in Saskatchewan. All wild boar/feral pig sightings should be reported immediately by contacting a local SCIC office or calling 1-888-9350000 (toll-free).

Be prepared if you plan to travel this summer By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer One should always be prepared, especially if you are travelling, or camping. “Failing to plan is planning to fail, so be prepared,” Yorkton Boy Scouts leader Kent Latimer told Yorkton Council in a presentation on preparedness at their April 11 meeting. Being ready starts with some planning, explained Latimer, who was joined in his presentation by Scouts Sarah Latimer, Jacob Dobson and Daesyn Cook. Being prepared means having the right items on-hand for whatever situations might pop up, having the skills to deal with any situation, and looking ahead. The planning should include looking at the weather forecast, planning where you will stay, take proper food, have a plan should someone become injured, know

local regulations, and be aware of what wildlife you might encounter. It’s also good to have the proper tools along, a knife, axe, fishing line and hook, compass, flint and steel or lighter, flashlight and of course proper clothing for the conditions. While not necessarily obvious, a tarp and rope can be used to erect a waterproof ‘tent’, or to cover food. A whistle is also an essential because you can stay put and blow it as a beacon should you become lost. It’s also a good idea to gain some skills, do some research on what you might have to do, and how to do it. Educational videos are available online and there are books that can help too. It can be useful to create a list so you know what to take, make sure your clothing is weather appropriate, and learn as many skills as you can to be safe.

They also harass livestock and wildlife, and are potential reservoirs for livestock diseases such as African swine fever, a federally report-

U of R researcher seeking volunteer citizens scientists U of R researcher seeking volunteer citizens scientists to monitor water quality in provincial lakes this summer Dr. Kerri Finlay, an associate professor with the University of Regina’s Faculty of Science, is looking for volunteer “citizen scientists” to help her research team test the water quality in over 70 of Saskatchewan’s lakes this summer. The water testing is part of the U of R’s Community-Based Water Monitoring program, which involves volunteers working in partnership with professional researchers to collect samples from provincial lakes that can be used to monitor environmental changes on a local or large-scale level. “People in Saskatchewan have many concerns about their water, from algal blooms to elevated salt levels and other pollutants,” says Dr. Finlay. “This project helps us collect more data about water quality in the province and engages local communities to better understand the health of the lakes that they swim, boat, and fish in.” The U of R has partnered with Water Rangers on the Community Based Water Monitoring project. Water Rangers is a not-for-profit organization based in Ottawa that develops water quality test kits that all of the volunteers use. The water test kits have everything that volunteers need to test for various attributes that help the research team to determine the water quality of the various Saskatchewan lakes. Each kit contain equipment that tests for water hardness, alkalinity, chlorine, salinity, pH, oxygen levels, and clarity — along with an air thermometer, field guides and notepads to record data, water collection cups, stickers, postcards, and other useful items. The volunteer citizen scientists then log the testing data onto their

phones through an app, or they can use log books to keep track of the data if they prefer. While the research team is looking for citizen scientists to test a variety of lakes throughout the province, they also have a “wish list” of 21 lakes that they are specifically hoping they can find volunteers for (see attached backgrounder for the full list of these lakes and a map).

Community-Based Water Monitoring project: list of lakes

Citizen scientist Joni Darke began volunteering last year. She is a resident of the resort village of B-Say-Tah and tests the water in the nearby Echo Lake. Testing the water allows her to monitor the quality of the water, which is especially important to her because her grandchildren go swimming in it. Darke plans to volunteer again this summer. “I was new to this program last year, but I would really like to do a bit more in-depth testing this year,” says Darke. “It’s amazing how many people come up to me while I am doing the testing and ask me if the water is safe and if they should be swimming in it. I am able to tell them that I am gathering that information so that they will know.” For consistency, volunteers are asked to test on the last Sunday of each month but are welcome to test more frequently. Anyone who would like to sign up to be a citizen scientist can visit https:// waterrangers.ca/saskatchewan/. This page has more information about volunteering with the Water Rangers program, and an application to be a volunteer this summer. Dr. Kerri Finlay is available for interviews on World Water Day (March 22) as well as throughout the week. Please contact Mindy Ellis at 306-5814541 or mindy.ellis@uregina.ca to set up an interview.

How to show your appreciation for volunteers National Volunteer Week takes place this year from April 24 to 30. This annual campaign promotes volunteerism and celebrates the contributions of millions of Canadians who donate their time and energy to making their communities better places to live. This year’s theme is Empathy in Action, which highlights how volunteering helps develop strong connections among people with diverse backgrounds and fosters genuine care toward others.

Volunteers are often mobilized by empathy, but their efforts are best sustained by demonstrations of appreciation. When volunteers feel recognized, they’re more likely to remain connected to your cause and continue to give back. Here are some ways your organization can say thank you to its volunteers. • Create a video. Collect footage of your organization’s volunteers at work with a smartphone or other device. Then, string the clips together and incorporate some music into the mix. Once the video is edited, you can share it on social media or on your website. • Plan a social event. Consider bringing the volunteers in your organization together with a social event. You could host a The Health Foundation could not do the movie night, put together a meal work we do without the help of the hundreds or throw a party. Social events help encourage your volunteers of people who work and volunteer with us to connect with each other, the each year. cause and the organization. • Collect and share letters.

Micro-volunteering: quick bursts of benevolence Are you looking for a way to give back to your community while also juggling a hectic schedule? If so, then micro-volunteering might be right for you. Here’s what you should know about this approach to community action, which has been growing in popularity over the last decade or

so. WHAT IS IT? Micro-volunteering is based on the notion that people are more likely to volunteer their time in short, convenient bursts. It refers to volunteer tasks that take no more than an hour or two to complete and can be

done whenever they fit into the person’s schedule. Importantly, micro-volunteering doesn’t require an application, training process or any ongoing commitment. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES? The main benefit of micro-volunteering is that it’s flexible. This

makes it a great option for those who have a busy schedule and would otherwise forgo volunteering because of a lack of time. And since the majority of microvolunteering happens online, people can have an impact from virtually anywhere. HOW CAN YOU HELP? Micro-volunteering can take on various forms, and many tasks become contributions to a larger project. For example, you can: • Sign a petition or participate in a letterwriting campaign • Pick up garbage in your neighbourhood while on a walk • Participate in a research project or survey • Help a senior with their groceries or yard work

• Share donation opportunities on social media • Bake cupcakes for a

charity fundraiser sale • Knit a hat for a shelter or worthy cause in your area

Dance concert a showcase for Ukrainian pride Courtesy of Canora Courier After being absent from the stage since 2019 due to COVID-19, Veselka Ukrainian Dance Concert was back at Canora Composite School for the 46th annual event on April 10. And with the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine on almost everyone’s mind, the concert took on a heightened level of significance for audience members and dancers alike, as well as Maria Schigol, emcee. “We have gathered here today to watch our young people partake not only in the physical act of dancing, but a celebration of their heritage and culture. However, in light of the times and current events, one cannot appreciate the hard work of the dancers and their beautiful costumes without thinking of the recent events happening in Ukraine. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia on February 24 and the subsequent war that has raged on for 46 days has been a terrible thing indeed. It has been shocking and unnerving to see warfare and its consequences to Ukraine and her people in the modern era. “However, as the words from the Ukrainian national anthem tell us, ‘Ukraine has not yet died, neither its honour, nor its glory. Our enemies will perish like the dew on the sun,’” continued Schigol. “Indeed, Ukraine and her people have shown strength, perseverance and a level of ferocity that was perhaps unexpected. Before the invasion, Russia was considered to have the second largest army

in the world. Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, recklessly made threats of nuclear violence if any other countries tried to intervene in his terrible plans for Ukraine. However, after many relentless battles, the Russian forces have been driven from Kiev and continue to retreat to the east. Their military has been revealed to be woefully inadequate and their troops ill prepared to face the fury and bravery of the Ukrainian people. “Ukraine is also led by a fearless leader, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has remained in the capital to encourage his people. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, visited Kiev in a show of solidarity and to prove that the city is safe and could not be taken or held by the invading Russians. I am sure many of you would agree - I have never felt more proud to be Ukrainian. The preservation of our heritage and culture has never been more important than right now – when there are forces who are actively trying to oppress and erase it. “There is no better example of Ukrainian culture being honoured and practiced than through dance. There have been countless videos circulating on social media of young Ukrainian soldiers taking breaks from combat to dance and sing. Our young dancers have been working hard all year as well, and I know they are excited to share that hard work with you. As long as the next generation remembers who they are and where they come from, Ukraine will never

be truly defeated. Slava Ukraini!” Performing the National Anthem of Ukraine, Shche Ne Vmerla Ukraina, were: Hannah Dutchak, Danielle Dutchak, Meekah Unick, Madison Dutchak and Tessa Prychak. They were followed by Cassandra Danyluk’s rendition of O Canada. A total of 39 dancers performed in the concert, ranging in age from four to 15 years. “We are very proud of all our dancers, all 39 dancers at the concert performed extremely well,” said Shannon Unick, President of Canora Veselka Ukrainian Dance. “Their hard work and dedication showed off when they stepped on that stage, the energy, smiles, and dancing was amazing to watch. It’s been two years without performances since these dancers were able to showcase their accomplishments in their community, and finally they did and what a spectacular job it was!” “Our dancers have faced many challenges, they danced through a pandemic, wearing masks, and social distancing. We are proud of each and everyone of them,” detailed Unick. “With the recent events happening in Ukraine, our dancers were proud to show off their culture in this year’s performance.” The first dance of the program was the Pryvit, or “Welcome Dance” which represents many regions of Ukraine and featured all 39 Veselka dancers. Miles Kitchen and Paisley Mickelson of the Novice group offered their guests bread, salt and wheat, which represents a wish of prosperity and health. The Junior 1 mixed group members are instructed by Liana Zabutnyy. Group members are: Bella Fullawka, Aspyn Fullawka, Kaydence Goulet, Jacob Prychak, Layla Keyowski and Riley Roberts. They performed two dances, the Hutzul and the Poltava. Hutzul dances are lively and energetic, characterized by quick stamping and intricate footwork, combined with swift vertical movements.

With the ongoing violence in Ukraine, the performance of the Ukraine national anthem carried even more significance than in previous years. Performing Shche Ne Vmerla Ukraina, from left, were: Hannah Dutchak, Danielle Dutchak, Meekah Unick, Madison Dutchak and Tessa Prychak. They were followed by Cassandra Danyluk’s rendition of O Canada. The Poltava is acrobatic and physically demanding for the male dancers, while the females display grace and beauty while dancing in technically demanding unison. The Junior 2 group is instructed by Liana Zabutnyy. Members are: Ethan Chabun, Drew Kitchen, Emmett Kitchen and Hannah Dutchak. They performed two dances, the Transcarpathian and the Poltava. The Transcarpathian is a moderately paced dance that is characterized by the males clapping and slapping their boots and bodies. It is rhythmic and bouncy with distinct twisting motions. Serhiy Zabutnyy is the instructor of the Junior 3 group, which includes: Reid Kitchen, Greta Craig, Madison Dutchak, Tessa Prychak, Caden Doogan, Chloe Doogan, Jevon Keyowski and Mya Dutchak. They danced two dances, the Poltava and the Polissia. The Polissia is a fast paced bouncy dance which incorporates high leg movements with repetitive tapping and stamping. The Intermediate groups is instructed by Serhiy Zabutnyy. Members are: Kacee Kitchen, Isabelle Chabun, Simon Craig, Maddy Dutchak, Rori Love, Cassidy Wolkowski, Danielle Dutchak, Olivia

Tratch, Joshua Prychak, Natalie Kosar and Rhianna Stefanyshyn. They performed the Poltava and the Volyn. Volyn dance steps are characterized by energetic jumping, high legs, lively arms and twirling steps. Liana and Serhiy Zabutnyy instruct the Senior Group, which includes: Meekah Unick, Henry Craig, Jack Craig, Ava Love, Makayla Heshka, Brenna Reine, Matthew Makowsky, Jordan Makowsky, Noah Prychak and Sofia Tratch. They performed three dances; the Bukovynian, the Volyn and the Hopak. The Bukovynian dances are lively, energetic and characterized by high stepping, intricate foot stamping combinations. The Hopak is a national Ukrainian dance mostly performed in unison,

as the women spin and the men squat repeatedly. Veselka Dancer Awards were selected this year by the students, who were given criteria to follow and then asked to nominate a classmate that they thought met those criteria. The award recipients for the Novice group were Paisley Mickelson and Miles Kitchen; Junior 1, Layla Keyowski and Riley Roberts; Junior 2, Drew Kitchen; Junior 3, Tessa Prychak; Intermediate, Kacee Kitchen, and the Senior winner was Meekah Unick. “Thank you to everyone who attended the concert, your support means so much to these dancers!” concluded Shannon Unick, President of Canora Veselka Ukrainian Dance.

Here are six tips for safely navigating a downpour. 1. REDUCE YOUR SPEED The faster you drive on a wet road, the more likely it is that your car will lose traction and hydroplane. Additionally, driving fast with reduced visibility is risky. If you want to avoid getting in an accident, slow down. 2. AVOID PUDDLES Puddles often conceal deep potholes that can damage your vehicle. Moreover, splashing water can temporarily blind other motorists and lead to an accident. 3. MAINTAIN A SAFE FOLLOWING DISTANCE Your brakes are less effective on wet roads, so it’s important to increase your braking distance. If you tailgate the vehicle in front of you and you’re forced to suddenly brake, you may not be able to prevent a collision. 4. AVOID RUTS When it rains, water tends to collect in ruts along the road. Therefore, drive slightly to the right or left of any ruts and reduce your speed to avoid hydroplaning. 5. DON’T USE CRUISE CONTROL Using cruise control when it’s raining is unsafe If your wheels lose traction, your car’s cruise control feature will accelerate to compensate for the loss of power.

6. BRAKE CAREFULLY The combination of heavy rain, dirt and debris can make roadways slippery. Consequently, slamming down on your brakes on a wet street or highway can lock your tires and cause your vehicle to spin out of

control. Remember to brake gently. Finally, regardless of the time of day, make sure to turn on your headlights to ensure you’re visible to other motorists when it’s raining.

How driving on empty can damage your car Driving with a depleted gas tank is risky. In addition to the possibility you’ll get stranded on the side of the road, you could potentially damage your vehicle. Here’s what you should know about driving on empty. IT CAN DAMAGE YOUR FUEL FILTER Dirt and debris will collect in your gas tank over time. If you drive while the fuel level is very low, there’s a risk this debris will get sucked into your fuel pump and clog the fuel ﬁlter. IT CAN DAMAGE YOUR FUEL PUMP Fuel pumps are designed to operate while submerged in gasoline. Plus, the fuel in your tank helps keep the pump cool.

Running on empty will expose the fuel pump and cause it to overheat. IT CAN CAUSE YOUR ENGINE TO MISFIRE If your gas tank gets too low, the fuel pump will suck in air, which can cause your engine to misﬁre. Over time, multiple misﬁres may damage your engine. IT CAN DAMAGE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM If you run out of fuel, your car will sputter and stall, which can damage your catalytic converter, an expensive part of your vehicle’s exhaust system. You can avoid these problems by always having plenty of fuel in the tank. Make sure to start looking for a gas station when your tank is a quarter full.

HOW FAR CAN YOU GO ON AN EMPTY TANK? Your dashboard warning light will illuminate when seven to 11 litres of gasoline remain in the tank. How far you can travel depends on the type of vehicle you drive, road conditions, whether you’re driving uphill or downhill and if you’re cruising in town or on the highway.

SPRING Car Care What to do if your car gets flooded If your vehicle gets flooded after a heavy rain, you need to take precautions. Though your car may seem just fine from the outside, its internal electrical components may be damaged or corroded. Moreover, if your vehicle was exposed to a considerable amount of water, it may no longer be roadworthy. The reality is that most flooded vehicles are beyond repair.

If your vehicle gets ﬂooded, the ﬁrst thing you should do is call your insurance company and set up a

SPRING Car Care Car myths debunked Car myths can be difficult to dispel. Here are five common beliefs about driving that simply aren’t true. 1. MYTH: PREMIUM GASOLINE IS BEST Fact: Only certain vehicles require premium gasoline. If your owner’s manual doesn’t recommend using high octane fuel, there’s no point in wasting your money. Doing so won’t improve the performance of your vehicle. 2. MYTH: YOU MUST WARM UP YOUR CAR BEFORE DRIVING IT IN THE WINTER Fact: Most vehicles only need to warm up for about 30 seconds. In fact, idling your car for extended periods of time can harm the engine by diluting the oil. 3. MYTH: IT’S ILLEGAL TO DRIVE IN SANDALS Fact: Though it’s dangerous to wear sandals while driving, there aren’t any laws that prevent you from doing so. 4. MYTH: DRINKING COFFEE OR OPENING A WINDOW CAN GET RID OF FATIGUE Fact: There’s no quick cure for fatigue. Driving while sleepy can be just as dangerous as driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. 5. MYTH: YOU CAN USE YOUR WINTER TIRES IN SUMMER Fact: Though it may seem like a way to save money, driving with winter tires in the summer can increase your fuel consumption and braking distance and cause you to hydroplane. If you have any questions about driving or maintaining your car, contact your local mechanic.

SPRING Car Care Signs your suspension system needs to be repaired Your car’s suspension system consists of many parts including shock absorbers, struts and axles. It connects your car’s wheels to the chassis and allows your vehicle to absorb bumps on the road and accelerate and brake smoothly. It also keeps your tires ﬁrmly on the road when turning. Here are ﬁve signs your suspension system may need to be repaired. 1. YOUR RIDE IS BUMPY If your ride is rougher than usual and you can feel every little bump on the road, you may have a broken strut or shock absorber that needs to be replaced. 2. ONE CORNER OF YOUR CAR SITS LOW A damaged spring will cause one corner of your vehicle to sit lower than the other three. This could result in the sagging corner hitting

the road when you go over bumps. 3. YOUR CAR LEANS OR TILTS If your vehicle leans to one side when you turn, or it tilts backward or forward when you brake or accelerate, it’s time to get your suspension checked. 4. TURNING IS A CHALLENGE If you find it more difficult than usual to steer, or your car pulls or drifts when you turn corners, it may mean there’s a problem with your shock absorbers. 5. UNUSUAL NOISES If you hear knocking every time your car hits a pothole, your struts are likely bottoming out and need to be replaced. Your car’s suspension system is designed to provide a smooth ride. If you think something’s wrong with it, visit a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.

Things on your car you should check in spring After a long, cold winter, you should inspect your vehicle and make sure it’s in good condition. Here are seven things to check. 1. TIRES Before installing your summer tires, assess the tread depth. If it’s less than 4.8 millimetres, invest in a new set. Once your summer tires are installed, inflate them according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Additionally, inspect your winter tires before storing them. If the wear is uneven, visit a mechanic for an alignment check. 2. FLUIDS Depending on when your car was last serviced and the number of kilometres you drove over the winter, you may need to change the oil. Additionally, top up the coolant, brake fluid and windshield washer fluids. 3. FILTERS Determine if the engine or cabin air filter is clogged with dirt. If so, clean or re-

place them. 4. AIR CONDITIONING Don’t wait until there’s a heatwave to ensure your air conditioning system is working. 5. WINDSHIELD WIPERS If applicable, swap your winter wiper blades for summer ones. Additionally, if your windshield wipers are cracked and worn, invest in a new set. 6. BODYWORK After thoroughly washing your vehicle, check for rust. If you notice any corrosion, repair it immediately. 7. CABIN AND TRUNK Clean the interior of your car, and make sure to organize your emergency kit, put away seasonal items and replace anything that’s outdated in your ﬁrst aid kit. Additionally, it’s a good idea to schedule a full inspection with your mechanic to ensure your car didn’t suffer any damage over the winter.

How to clean and organize your car’s trunk and cabin

Don’t Just Get “R” Done.

GET “R” DONE RITE!

When spring arrives, it’s time to put away your winter car accessories, air out your car cabin and thoroughly clean the interior of your vehicle. It’s also the perfect time to consider storage solutions. Here are a few tips. CLEAN After vacuuming the seats and ﬂoor mats, remove calcium rings from the carpets and dust the dashboard and plastic mouldings. If you have leather seats, now is the time to oil them to keep them

looking new. Moreover, you should freshen up and remove unpleasant odours from your ﬂoor mats using a steamer. If you want sparkling clean windows, wipe the inside in one direction and the outside in the other to ensure you didn’t miss any spots. ORGANIZE If you want to keep the inside of your vehicle tidy on your next family road trip, ﬁt the seats with practical organizers to store reusable shopping bags,

Local student takes 4-H provincial speaker victory Courtesy of Preeceville Progress Hazel Dell youth, Amber Spray won first place in the junior 4-H provincial speaking event held in Middle Lake on April 9. Spray also won first place in the same category at the club, district and regional competitions. She competed against 32 other top members from across Saskatchewan. She is an active member of the Kelvington 4-H Beef Club and is very passionate about the farming and cattle industry. Her speech entitled, The Rush, was written addressing the adrenaline rush that she gets playing sports or working with her 4-H projects. “I used the same speech throughout the different levels of speaking that included the first time it was recited at the club level speaking competition,” she said. She advanced from there to districts where she won first place and she also received first place at regional competitions. Spray said each time she made some minor improvements to the speech.

Amber Spray of the Kelvington 4-H Beef Club was excited to share her speech at the provincial 4-H speaking event held in Middle Lake on April 9.

This is the second time she has attended provincials, the only other tine being when she was a cloverbud where she won first place. “Public speaking has helped me to become a more confident person and gave me the experi-

ence to talk to others in school and in the public. I loved the entire experience from creating the speech to the delivering of it and making new friends. The judges were looking for many things during my speech from my posture, delivery, punctuation, expressions and tones of my voice. It was a little overwhelming but it was so fun,” she shared. Amber now turns her attention to her six 4-H projects that she is working with for this season. The Three Lakes 4-H Beef Club hosted the provincial competition and it was the first time since 2020 and COVID-19 that participants could attend public speaking in-person. Last year sub-

missions were adapted to an online platform. “It was great to get back to in-person events. Leaders, members, family and guests were

excited to see each other with chatting and catching up what we missed in-person for the last three years,” said Krystal Spray, Amber’s mom.

USask researchers aim to boost uranium, wheat sectors with novel technology Victoria Dinh USask Media Relations S A S K A T O O N – Two University of Saskatchewan (USask) projects have been awarded Natural Sciences and Engineering Council (NSERC) Alliance Grants totaling $885,000 for research aimed at developing novel technologies to improve productivity and profitability in the key agriculture and uranium sectors. Dr. Yuanming Pan (PhD), professor in geological sciences at USask’s College of Arts and Science, was awarded $60,000 over two years to further develop and refine a novel technique he invented for uranium exploration involving studying radiation-induced defects in quartz and calcite. He is working with an industry partner, Baselode Energy Corp, which is contributing $30,000 cash and $67,800 of in-kind support that includes training two highly qualified USask personnel who will do summer field work as junior geologists on the project.

Baselode Energy last year announced a rich uranium find, ACKIO, at its Hook project in northern Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin—an area that hosts some of the world’s highest grade uranium deposits. Baselode wants to add Pan’s novel technique to its exploration program in and near the basin. “When we think uranium, we think radiation,” said Pan. “But exploration for uranium rarely uses radiation directly because typical radiation like alpha particles can be stopped by rocks and soils easily and aren’t detectable.” In three previous projects, Pan showed that the quartz defects form when the mineral is bombarded by alpha particles emitted by the radioactive decay of uranium. Pan said this damage occurs over a geological timescale of thousands of years when hot aqueous fluids carrying dissolved uranium pass through rocks, leaving behind the tell-tale trail of their passage. The defects are minuscule, so researchers use a highly sensitive tech-

nique called electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy to analyze them. “What we are doing essentially is measuring these radiation-induced defects in order to map out where the fluids came from, where they went—the pathway or conduit of these ancient fluids,” he said. “The pathways are very useful for exploring new uranium deposits.” Pan said although many northern mines contain calcite, the mineral hasn’t been tested for radiation damage to the extent done for quartz—something he plans to do in this project. “My students and I are interested in finding new defects in both quartz and calcite, so this research really is a mixture of pure science and applied science in helping the company grow their understanding of the ACKIO deposit.”

Breeding fusariumresistant wheat through advanced genetics A large multidisciplinary team led by Dr. Randy Kutcher (PhD), professor in the College

of Agriculture and Bioresources and a plant pathologist at USask’s Crop Development Centre (CDC), and Dr. Lipu Wang PhD), research officer at CDC, was awarded $825,000 over three years to develop wheat plants with stronger genetic resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB). Industry partners Western Grains Research Foundation (WGRF), and the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (SWDC) are providing total cash and in-kind contributions of $412,500, bringing the total project value to $1.24 million. A fungal disease, FHB shrivels kernels in the grain, causing severe losses in yield and quality. “Cultivating resistant wheat varieties is an efficient, eco-friendly and often most economical way to control FHB when it’s part of an integrated pest management program that includes crop rotation, appropriate seeding rates, and use of fungicides when the situation warrants,” said Kutcher. He said the project

will provide a “selection of tools” to achieve several objectives and can accelerate plant breeding cycles and benefit the wheat industry. • The current problem with FHB is linked to growers’ preference for short plants—they want less plant and more seed. Yet researchers have found that the genes for short plants are also associated closely with genes for susceptibility to Fusarium. “So, one part of the project is to try to find new dwarfing genes, or somehow figure out how to break that linkage and separate the genes,” said Kutcher. • The second objective is to see what’s actually happening inside the plants, so when plants become infected, researchers can understand changes in the plant metabolism. Researchers want to learn if FHB-resistant plants produce different compounds than susceptible plants. • To select plants that are less prone to disease, a PhD student is using technology at the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at USask to study

and image infected plants. The goal is to use the images to eventually develop benchtop equipment that can identify which kernels or wheat spikes are diseased—currently a laborious, subjective, and error-prone task that plant breeders and pathologists perform by visually rating thousands of plants and harvest samples for FHB damage. “By incorporating technology such as artificial intelligence and deep machine learning to identify Fusarium, we can develop a more consistent assessment process that we can initially offer to breeders and eventually the industry,” said Kutcher. One post-doctoral fellow, as well as two PhD and four MSc students, will be trained as part of the project. USask coapplicants and collaborators on the project from the Colleges of Arts and Science, Engineering, and Medicine, and from CLS. External collaborators are from Huazhong Agricultural University in China, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, SWDC and WGRF.

Sask. spring runoff report - April update The Water Security Agency (WSA) provided an update to its spring runoff report today highlighting higher than expected runoff, which is helping to refill many of the reservoirs that were very low following last summer’s extended period of high heat and very little precipitation. The runoff began in mid-March in the southwest corner of the province and is progressing eastwards and northwards. A slower melting period with below

freezing temperatures at night and cool daytime temperatures is helping keep runoff in channels with a low risk for flooding expected. Higher than expected runoff in the Moose Jaw, Swift Current and Old Wives’ basins has helped replenish water supply reservoirs. Runoff in the Maple Creek, Battle, Frenchman and Lodge Creek basins, while below normal, is higher than expected, but the Bigstick Basin is still below normal.

On the Qu’Appelle system, ice in the channel is causing higher than expected water levels throughout the system. Ice jamming remains a possibility and WSA continues to monitor this situation. Diversions into Last Mountain Lake are challenging due to the ice and some flow is being passed downstream on

the Qu’Appelle River to prevent flooding upstream of Craven. With the exception of Last Mountain Lake, WSA expects all the lakes in the Qu’Appelle system to reach desirable summer levels. While the slow melt is reducing the runoff potential in areas where there is snow, a rapid melt could produce high-

er than expected runoff in some areas. With still higher than normal alpine snowpack, WSA expects strong flows along the South Saskatchewan River and will help bring levels at Lake Diefenbaker up to desirable levels for summer, improving conditions for irrigation, recreation and hydro generation.

Further north, spring melt and runoff are in the early stages and WSA does not expect significant changes to the March forecast unless conditions change dramatically due to rapidly warmer temperatures. WSA will continue to monitor spring runoff as it occurs and provide updates as conditions change.

Local youth represent Kamsack at provincial archery competition Courtesy of Kamsack Times On the weekend of April 9/10, the River Valley Archery Club of Kamsack (a group that practices archery out of the Veregin Rink) saw three young archers compete in the Junior Olympic Program (JOP) archery tournament at Prince Albert. The JOP is designed to recognize young archers for their achievements and give encouragement for improvements. As awards are earned, each youth develops archery skills together with greater confidence and ability to perform in competition. Goals also include recognizing fair play, courtesy and good sportsmanship with the emphasis placed on safety and individual performance. The program is open to youth aged 6 to 21 years. Youth must have their own bow and arrows, arm guard, and finger protection. Sights and/or releases are optional. Beginner youth start shooting at 10 meters, progressing to 15 meters, then 18 meters as their score and skill levels increase. Youth shoot

an indoor round of 30 arrows on a 40 cm face following Archery Canada Indoor Target Rules. Supported by their parents, Kristy and Devon O’Soup, youth shooters Dominick and Ricky made the journey to experience their first ever JOP tournament held at the Alfred Jenkins Field House in P.A. Also competing alongside the O’Soup brothers was Dameon Lillebo, son of Terri and Lorne Lillebo. Coaches Scott Green and Rhonda Streelasky attended the event to support their competing Kamsack students. “We have never been to a JOP shoot,” said Coach Green. “I was quite nervous for our shooters, but excited knowing that we finally have parents wanting to send their youth to this competition. Now that we know what it is all about, we are hoping to send more of members to compete next year.” Coach Green reported that the three archers did “awesome” – despite not bringing home medals in their first provincial-wide competition. Using a hand-me-

down bow from his older brother, Ricky O’Soup, placed in the top four of his category. At the age of six, Coach Green said the talented youth had just begun his archery training this year. “That’s the nice part of archery,” offered Green. “When the older family member grows out of it, or wishes to move up to a newer bow – they can hand it down.” “Ricky did really well, but you could see he was fatigued finishing up the shoot-off round. Once he had finished shooting his 30 arrows (plus 15 in the warm up) he faced another round of 30 arrows. Throughout the shoot, he was calm and collected.” Coach Green said he was very impressed with Dominick and Dameon who also both finished strong in their categories. “Rhonda and I are so proud of all of them for shooting their best,” said Green. “Our club would like to thank the Timberland Bowbenders for hosting an awesome shoot, and we can’t wait to see who will attend next year’s competition – wherever that may be.”

On the weekend of April 9/10, at the Alfred Jenkins Field House in Prince Albert, three local youth competed in the Junior Olympic Program (JOP) tournament. The provincial archery competition was hosted by the Timberland Bowbenders Archery Club.

In his first year of learning archery – at just sixyears-old, Ricky O’Soup placed fourth in his age division in the shoot-out category.
