Nature Saskatchewan runs the voluntary Stewards of Saskatchewan program that works with communities and landowners to conserve Monarch habitat and help monitor the population each year. Monarch butterflies are identifiable by their bright orange colouring with black veins throughout their wings, along with white spots on their black body and the outside edges of their wings. “Watch out for look-a-likes such as the Viceroy,” explains Ward. “Viceroys look very similar but have an extra stripe on their hind wings that cross their veins.”

Monarch Caterpillar

Nature Saskatchewan’s Stewards of Coordinator,SaskatchewanRachel Ward, says “it takes between three and four generations for Monarchs to get from their over-wintering grounds, in Mexico, to Saskatchewan.” She adds “the generation emerging now will live the longest, making the full journey south back to Mexico to overwinter, so it is extra important that we help conserve the habitat for this incredibly important generation of Monarchs.”

The last couple of weeks have seen a surge in Monarch butterfly and caterpillar (larvae) sightings. With the national Flight of the Monarch Day Aug. 20, now is the perfect time to sharpen your Monarch identification skills and capture some photos and observations to share in the celebration!Monarchs are a species at risk throughout their range with Saskatchewan being at the northern extent of their range.

The Monarch caterpillars have distinct white, yellow and black stripes with black filaments on both ends. Ward adds “you will see these caterpillars nearly exclusively on milkweed plants”. The most important factor for these butterflies is the availability of milkweed as it is the food source that they solely rely on during their larval stage, this means that it is critical for the areas that these caterpillars emerge in to have a supply of milkweed readily available. Once they are fully developed butterflies however, they will feed on a variety of blossoming flowers, so planting a native seed flower garden helps them greatly. If you were looking to help these beautiful butterflies out, planting milkweed is the best way to do it!

SASKATOON –A research team at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) has been awarded a national grant to study genetically modified fish to gain a better understanding of how a human heartDr.beats.Michelle Collins (PhD), assistant professor in the Department of Anatomy, Physiology, and Pharmacology at USask’s College of Medicine, has been focused on how the heart forms and functions. As Collins describes it, the main molecule that drives the heartbeat is calcium — a “flux” of calcium is released and brought back into cell stores that cause the heart to contract and “We’rerelax.interested in understanding the fundamental mechanisms of how calcium orchestrates this whole process of making the heart beat, and how it’s tightly regulated,” Collins said. She was recently awarded a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) Discovery Grant of $185,000 over five years (plus an early career supplement of $12,500) to pursue the deeper question of how calcium moves through the cell and what controls that Calciumflux.stores that create a heartbeat are housed inside cells in an organelle called the sarcoplasmic reticulum. (Organelles are tiny structures within a cell that perform a specific task.)But Collins has identified other organelles— endosomes and lysosomes—that she believes are key to regulating calcium movement along with the sarcoplasmic reticulum.“Inorder to understand how things go wrong in certain diseases, you have to understand how they work normally,” she said. “Once we understand that, can we then target those pathways

“Many interesting stories are waiting to be told about this fascinating period in our past.”

The site was burned down by rival fur traders in 1791 after being abandoned when the Hudson’s Bay Company moved further down west. All that remains of the Lower Hudson House today are a few old chimney stones from the original trading post.Parr said recognizing the site as a heritage property is an important step towards learning more about Saskatchewan’s history.“We want to, in some way, commemorate those individuals that are buried there in some appropriate way. To have the site memorialized will enable people to come and visit it and pay their respects and to ponder on the history,” he said. “It informs all of us about a chapter in our history that we know little about at this point.” “I think it enables a new chapter in Saskatchewan’s history to be told, some stories of our history that up to this point nobody really knows,” said Parr. “It’s better we go back to our history, back in time.”

Hudson House was nominated for Provincial Heritage Property designation by Philip Parr and Peter Burns of the Prince Albert-based Steering Committee for the Memorialization of Lower Hudson House. Parr said they’ve been working on the application for over a year and a half.“We believe the designation of Lower Hudson House as a provincial heritage property will open a path for everyone to discover the history and tragedy of how the smallpox epidemic of 1781-82 affected the Indigenous populations in the area 240 years before present day and altered the course of our history as a province,” Parr and Burns said.

the heart “Zebrafishbeats. are ideal to image at early developmental stages, and that is one of the biggest strengths of the model ,” she said. “From a physiology standpoint, the fish heart is simpler than a mammalian heart, but all of the key players that build a mammalian heart also build a zebrafish heart. I think that’s really cool. You’ve got this evolutionarily conserved program of building hearts, and the zebrafish heart has a lot of those same players.”Collins has been creating “transgenic lines” — hereditary lines of zebrafish that pass her biosensor along to their offspring — to create a sizable pool to carry out her research. Collins said the ability to establish transgenic lines to carry out multifaceted research is another benefit of using zebrafish. “As an early-career researcher, having the support of national funding agencies like NSERC as well as (USask) is really instrumental in helping me jump-start my career,” she said. “There’s a number of trainees participating in this project — undergrads and graduate researchers — so having these funds allows me to support those students to come in and learn.”

A historical First Nations trading post and Indigenous gravesite has been recognized as the province’s 56th Provincial Heritage Property by the Government of Saskatchewan thanks to two Prince Albert residents.“Lower Hudson House is an important archaeological site that features the remains of late 18th century Hudson’s Bay Company and North West Company trading posts,” said Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross.Lower Hudson House is located in the Nisbet Provincial Forest, approximately 35 kilometres west of Prince Albert on the North Saskatchewan River. “This site provides a unique opportunity to further our understanding of this complex period in Saskatchewan’s history and the indispensable role that First Nations played in the late eighteenth century fur trade.”

Operating from 1779 to 1789, Lower Hudson House was an important trading centre for First Nations people in the area and as a post for provisioning fur traders working further to the west.It is believed that victims of the 1781-1782 smallpox epidemic that devastated Indigenous communities in the region may have been buried in the area near theAccordingsite. to Philip Parr, at least 27 Indigenous people are buried in the vicinity of the trading post. “We have no knowledge about where those graves are, but we know that they exist,” said Parr. Except for some limited investigations by historians and archaeologists, the Lower Hudson House site has remained undisturbed for more than 200 years.

Five Sask. players have golden lacrosse moment

Marshall said putting on the red and white jersey “was very special,” adding it was big to play against other countries, recalling the first game in pool play against the rival U.S. He said he realized then “this is real. We’re playing the U.S. team right now. This is pretty great – a lot of fun.” For Scott, the win was huge after a year with the Junior program in Saskatoon where wins were“Justrare.going there after a pretty tough season in Junior ‘A’ was pretty unreal,” he said. “It was a lot of hard work, but the experience . . . it was lots of fun . . . “Not coming from a place where we were winning very often – I loved it. It was awesome. There’s really no other way to put it.”

It was a golden event for five young lacrosse players from Saskatchewan.BauerSwystun from Prince Albert, Jordan Scott, Jeremy Wudrick and Sam Marshall all of Saskatoon, and Shane Friesen from Swift Current were members of the Canadian squad which captured the 2022 IIJL World Junior Lacrosse Championship which took place Aug. 8-14 in InternationalWinnipeg.

“Playingthink. box definitely makes you a better field player,” he said, adding in box you get used to playing in “tight places” which transfers to the field game in getting to the net.”

“Having the Rush here helped get more exposure for the game,” he Wudricksaid. said it was the NLL that first drew his attention to the sport. “I played hockey and then I saw it (lacrosse) on TV,” he said, recalling a Toronto Rock game from about a dozen years ago. “I just needed to play it. I tried it the next spring and loved it.”

And now Wudrick is at Lander University in Greenwood, S.C. playing lacrosse.Marshall is now at the Franciscan University of Steubenville playing lacrosse although he admitted field is merely a way to further hone skills he can use in box lacrosse. He said after a final junior season in 2023 in Saskatoon he’s likely to declare for the NLLFriesendraft. said he too looks toward a shot at the NLL one day. “I do want to enter the (NLL) draft. I really hope to take lacrosse a step farther,” he said. “I don’t care where I go in the league. I just want to play the sport I love most in the highest caliber league in the world.” “It’s kind of a headturner,” said Swystun in terms of becoming a lacrosse player in Saskatchewan, especially given he has the name Bauer, which is a huge one in the hockey world. “It’s kind of a shock to people.”Swystun said it was a case of growing up in the right community.

“I found living in P.A. lacrosse was a growing sport. As soon as spring came it was time to start playing lacrosse,” he said.In time Swystun ended up playing in Saskatoon for better competition. “That enhanced my performance,” he said, adding he also came to the realization “hockey is not my best career path in life.”Realizing he had “a bigger passion” for lacrosse Swystun concentrated on the sport, an effort which took him to an international gold medal, and now on the play college lacrosse at Tusculum University in Greeneville, Tenn., which is an NCAA Div. II lacrosse program. Scott is at Dominican University New York, another NCAA Div. II program.While the college game will be field lacrosse Scott said it’s not as big a change as one might

When it comes to indoor lacrosse Canada has been a perennial powerhouse and with that there is some added pressure to continue to dominate.“Obviously we were pretty confident in our athletic capabilities,” offered Swystun. But, that did not mean things came easy. Swystun noted the Haudenosaunee (formerly known as Iroquois), “had some very talented players,” and they gave a great effort in the gold medal game which ended with Canada winning 16-9.“We wanted it. Right from the start it was kind of a ‘no mercy’ thing. We wanted that gold,” said Swystun.And the game was closer than the score might indicate. “It was pretty tight the first couple of quarters – very exciting,” said Wudrick, adding it was great as a player to be in a pressure game that meant something – “to play for something on the world stage. It felt unreal.”“You always go into a game with the mindset anything can happen,” addedMarshallScott. echoed the sentiment they knew they were favoured, but nothing was assured. He said in box lacrosse a team that works hard can overcome more talented teams at times, so they had to be ready. “We knew what we could do,” he said, adding that still meant they had to Scottexecute.saidithelped the team was well-prepared. “We all had the goal of winning the gold,” he said.Canada had earned their berth in the final defeating Israel 20-9 in one semi final while Haudenosaunee edged the United States 14-12 in theHavingother. five players from a province not noted for its lacrosse was a big step for the game here. The players suggested once someone tries the game they are likely to be hooked.“Idid play everything,” said Friesen, pointing to hockey and football in his early years. “It’s not that I didn’t like them, but lacrosse sat with me Friesendifferent.”saidhe felt lacrosse challenged him more, adding “and, I liked the intensity of the sport.”Marshall was sort of pushed into lacrosse, his parents suggesting strongly he find a spring sport to occupy that season. He tried lacrosse. “That was before the Rush came around, I didn’t really know much about the game,” he said, adding it didn’t go that well initially, but he stayed with it, first as a goaltender and about five years ago moving to defender, after which he noted, “I never looked back. I just fell in love withScottit.” said he was a late-comer to lacrosse, not starting until Bantam age. He said having the Saskatchewan Rush arrive in Saskatoon certainly kick-started the growth of the sport.

“It’s a pretty common thing, box players moving to field lacrosse,” he said, adding there of course will be a learning curve. “. . . Obviously I have a lot to learn.” The world event was part of the general education in “Havinglacrosse.that world championship title on the resume doesn’t hurt,” offered Swystun. “It was absolutely a learning experience for me.” Swystun said he feels that experience “will help me progress . . . help me to the next level.” Ultimately, Swystun hopes the final level in the National Lacrosse League.“Wherever the ball takes me, I’d love to play pro,” he said, adding he knows that will only come with lots of hard work, which starts with the upcoming college season.Scott to has an eye on the“INLL.think most players’ dream is to play in the NLL,” he said.

Build a play set for stacking games

100-metre event that took place at Canada Games Park.“I was very relieved. I was excited and very proud I was here and got it (the bronze),” she told Yorkton This Week. Delaney said she went into the race, confident, but with some butterflies too.“I was a little bit nervous, but I thought that I could (win a medal). I told myself I could,” said the 15-year-old competitor.Delaney has only been competing for three years, but it has proven a successful time as she was also a part of Team Sask for the Western Canada Summer Games in 2019.While competing at a top level rather quickly, Delaney said training has not always been easy through the upheavals of COVID.“Itwas tough through the COVID years,” she said.Juggling training and schooling is challenging too.“It’s a little hard, but you make it work,” said Delaney.With the recent podium finish at the Canada Games Delaney said she will now focus on topping that performance next time, while adding there are always dreams of an Olympic spot one Delaneyday.competes on the Cyclones Track and Field Club in Regina.

Gordon Hamilton’s gem Santorini plays on a 5X5 board too. For this one you will need something to represent each players two men – loonies or toonies for the others perhaps. You build towers – use one colour – and try to get one of your ‘men’ to the third level first. Players can cap towers with a fourth piece blocking its use too – use the alternate colour pieces. This is so simple in terms of rules, but not as easy as it might appear. It’s a gem for sure. When you create a 6X6 board then try India, a 2003 creation by Martin Windischer which uses stacking as a way to move and capture pieces while attempting to take a piece across the board to win the game. One more game to relish if you went this direction to create an ‘all-purpose’ play set in Focus, (often seen under the name Domination). The 1963 release from designer Sid Sackson is something of a classic of that decade and old commercial sets are available. It plays, two, three and four players. The two-player option is simple to create as it is played on an 8X8 board ignoring the cornerFocussquares.isall about stacking, trying to end up with your colour pieces dominating – being on top of all the stacks on the board. It’s an older game really worth a look. Also from Sackson, a prolific designer credited with more than 100 games of varied types, is a much under-appreciated stacking game which is also a ‘crossing’ game where you score points by moving pieces across the board. The game is Sackson’s gem Chain Reaction. This one takes what is a 7X8 board with a score track if you get fancy. An older game worth trying for sure. Well there you have it, 10 stacking games which you can play with a bit of crafting at home. There are of course other games too; Towers of Hamburg, UnStack, etc., but the 10 will keep you playing for some time, and are collectively some of the best tried so far. Next week, since we have boards made and pieces in hand we’ll look at a few games where the goal is getting one of your pieces across the board to your opponent’s ‘home’ row.

Last week, after reviewing Peak, a quick, and yet fun, new stacking game with designer Andreas Kuhnekath it led to thoughts of other stackingWhilegames.there are literally dozens of games where stacking is the key mechanic, if not the ultimate goal, it became apparent that with two or three matching checker sets, always a low cost option, or a couple of matching backgammon sets, you can be well on your way to a handful of wonderful stacking games.For the purpose of this article the goal was to keep the cost to play as low as possible, so it will be limited to games which can be played on a square grid – think a checkerboard. However, a checkerboard is an 8X8 grid, and some games need alternate-sized boards, but a ruler, pencil and some Bristol board, and it’s pretty easy to draw up a grid board of any size required. So, to start you can look back at Peak. While the game is commercially available in a beautiful wooden edition from Clemens Gerhards, which any game player would be satisfied with, Peak can also be easily played with checkers, each player needing 18 which are initially distributed over the 6X6 board.Laskers is a sort of etc. You win by building a stack of six, or more (a king) with your colour piece on Mixtourtop.from designer Dieter Stein plays on the same 5X5 Startingboard.withan empty board, players add pieces and move them trying to build up stacks with five or more pieces to win the game. Once on the board either player can move anyTherepiece.are many move options: stacks can be split at any level but a move must always end on another stack. In fact, it is the height of the receiver stack that determines the range of possible moves, which is a very mindbending mechanic which really makes this one a mustAlsotry.from Stein is his 2005 release Abande, a game often played on a hexagonal board, but can be played on a 7X7 as well. It’s a place and move stack creation game with a neat aspect that at the end you only score stacks connected to one of your opponent’s stack. Definitely a game that is worth some exploration if you create a ‘play set’ of boards and pieces.

“We are familiar with the program and we do love to take on new opportunities, specifically when it’s helping to support helping people with their employment,” said Jackie Washenfelder, Program Manager at Sask Abilities, adding, “we had a few meetings, we did work with SIGN to figure out the ins and outs of it – what worked well, what things we could maybe change up.”

SaskAbilities organizes the workers that take much pride in the district and the areas they clean,” read a media release from YBID.

Twenty eight years ago, my husband and I made the big move to this area — three hours away from where we’d both been born, raised, married and even had our children.Ihave an aunt, who upon hearing of the difficulty of my adjustment back then, sent me a tiny bauble with the words “Bloom Where You’re Planted” written on it. Being in the state of mind that I was at that time I thought the saying trite, but I grew to love living here very much. That brings us to today. Allow me to share the condensed version of what has recently transpired …

Truthfully, if I’d heard this told as someone else’s experience I might’ve found myself rolling on the floor too.

Less than eight weeks ago my husband said, “Lets sell the house and move back to where we started. It’ll be an adventure.”After some discussion, the “For Sale” sign went up and three days later our home sold. Let me pause here to pay homage to where I have felt secure, content and safe. Can you hear the violin music playing during this very great pause? Sigh … But my husband wasn’t wrong. It has been an adventure, all right, as we raced to find a suitable place to live, and get rid of many things so we could fit into the much smaller space we found. Did I say that we were compelled to find a place quickly? Really quickly? So quickly that we didn’t ask some of the pertinent questions that, perhaps, should’ve been queried? Two weeks ago it took only two hours to dump our left-overs from “the great purge of ’22” into the apartment-style condo we thought was a good idea to buy.

The second woman informed me that, not long ago, there had been a fire in the underground parking garage. (Later I learned it was caused by combustible agents not “really” allowed down there.)

Rescuing someone who has been submerged in grain -- whether in a truck box, or a grain bin -- requires some very specific procedures to ensure a safe extraction. Members of the Yorkton Fire Protective Services received training in the procedures required Wednesday at the Fire Hall.

incentives to increase value and efficiency of nitrogen use

Canadian canola growers are leaders in sustainability, and we’re excited to launch this program to keep building on this excellent track record, — Jim Everson, CCC President

On August 11, 2022, the Canola Council of Canada (CCC) unveiled a new program offering financial support to help growers initiate or advance 4R Nutrient Stewardship on canola acres.The program, named Canola 4R Advantage, will reimburse growers for up to 85 per cent of eligible costs, up to $12,000 per farm per year. Funding for Canola 4R Advantage has been provided by Agriculture and A gri-Food Canada through the Agricultural Climate Solutions –On-Farm Climate Action Fund“Canadian(OFCAF). canola growers are leaders in sustainability, and we’re excited to launch this program to keep building on this excellent track record,” says Jim Everson, CCC president. “Expanding the use of 4R Nutrient Stewardship is an important opportunity to improve fertilizer efficiency, which is good for both farm productivity and the environment.”The CCC has chosen to focus its program on precise, efficient and sustainable nitrogen management using 4R principles. “4R practices help growers ensure they apply the right source of fertilizer at the right rate, right time and right place for optimal results,” says Charles Fossay, canola grower near Starbuck, Manitoba and director of Manitoba Canola Growers and CCC. “This maximizes the crop’s access to nutrients while minimizing any losses as nitrous oxide forwillCanolaemissions.”4RAdvantageprovideincentivescanolagrowerstouse best management practices (BMPs) in four areas: soil testing, enhanced efficiency fertilizers, preferred application and field zone mapping. To be eligible for these incentives, a grower must have a 4R Nutrient Stewardship plan that has been verified by a Certified Crop Adviser or Professional Agrologist who has earned the 4R designation from Fertilizer Canada.“These BMPs fit in well with canola production across the Prairies and are effective ways to use fertilizer efficiently and get more return from that investment,” says Roger Chevraux, canola grower near Killam, Alberta and chair of Alberta Canola. “And by working with a 4R designated agronomist, growers get guidance from certified experts and their acres accounted for and recognized under the 4R Nutrient Stewardship program.”

Nutrient Stewardship practices. This is an important opportunity to build on canola’s leadership in sustainable growing practices,” says Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food MarieClaude Bibeau. The CCC is one of 12 partners selected across Canada to deliver OFCAF, which is designed to support farmers in adopting beneficial management practices that store carbon and reduce greenhouse gases. Up to $17.4 million in funding is currently approved for the two-year Canola 4R Advantage project. The CCC is also partnering with Fertilizer Canada to provide training, information resources and knowledge transfer activities to growers and agronomists.TheCanola Council of Canada is a full value chain organization representing canola growers, processors, life science companies and exporters. Keep it Coming 2025 is the strategic plan to ensure the canola industry’s continued growth, demand, stability and success – targeting 52 bushels per acre to meet global market demand of 26 million metric tonnes by the year 2025.

There are no widespread water shortages reported in the region, but producers have noted that some sloughs that had water this spring are now drying up. The majority of crop damage this week was due to strong winds and heavy rains lodging crops as well as hailstorms that resulted in pea-sized to golf ball sized hail. Crop damage from the hail has been estimated to be as low as ten per cent for some fields and up to 100 per cent on the hardest hit fields

The storms also resulted in hail with some producers only seeing minor crop damage and others saw fields get completely hailed out.

Despite his doubts about the importance of his find, Olson contacted the archeological team at Brandon University. It was then he realized the magnitude of what he’d unearthed that day. Since then, Olson has returned to the spot, often hiking there with his sister and her children.“We’re always just looking at new historical sites.”Itwas on one of these visits with his sister, niece and nephew that Olson found another bison scapula hoe. “While we were just looking around that spot, we actually found another hoe, just kind of caught up in a tangle of sticks or something near theExcavationswater.” on the east prairie level site began earlier this month. A hearth with a thick layer of ash was found, indicating that dwellings were also present on the east side of Gainsborough Creek. Pottery found on the east prairie level featured the same decoration as artifacts from the Olson site in the valley.

Archaeological dig uncovers historical artifacts

Mary Malainey, a professor in the anthropology department at Brandon University, said that this year the team isn’t crossing the creek due to high water levels from recent rainfall. Nevertheless, they’ve made some very interesting finds already.

“It looks like we’ve found the remains of a house … we found a hearth, a fireplace. Somebody built a fire with a really thick ash deposit, so that would be consistent with somebody staying at that spot for a long period of time. That is an indication of permanency. We also found what looks like a posthole, which could be a clue to what kind of structure was built.” All of this challenges preconceived notions that pre-contact Indigenous people in the area were strictly huntergatherers. Malainey said the site is only the second in Manitoba that has produced strong evidence of farming and horticulture. This paints a picture that many archeologists didn’t give much credit to before.“Thisarea in Manitoba … is a very rich area, so hunters and gatherers could have made a really good life just hunting and gathering. The archaeologists at the time thought there was no reason for them to practice horticulture, and they assumed that it would be more of a southern practice.”

The bone tool would turned out to be the important bison scapula hoe. At the time, Olson put it into his backpack. Upon returning home, he set to scouring the internet for what it could possibly be. When he identified it as a hoe, Olson said, he wasn’t all that surprised.“Ididn’t actually think it was that important, because I’d already read about the history of the area, and I already knew that there was probably agricultural activities going on there. It’s been suspected for so long, but I just kind of assumed that it was already known and there was already good evidence of it.”

A friend had come to visit him, and he suggested they go on a hike to some of the historical sites Olson knew about. “It was a drought year, so I suggested that we look along the creek bed to see if we could find any artifacts, because that would be the year to do it, when the water was so low. And then, sure enough, we did,” Olson said.The first thing that caught Olson’s eye that day was a bison skull. He said it was found on a sandy part of the river, completely exposed. “Then the more we looked, the more we found around it. We found a little scraper, or something like that, a stone tool, and then this bone thing kind of half buried, half sticking out.”

• When you do pass, give yourself plenty of space, because farm equipment can be deceptively long and wide.

• Following too closely may put you in the farmer’s blind spot. Hang back a bit.

• The machinery may not have turn signals. Drivers preparing to pass farm equipment should make sure that the farmer isn’t about to turn left into a field. Look down the road and anticipate where the farmer may be going.

“The sense I get is that everyone is pretty astounded that there’s something like this in their own backyard,” FosterForstersaid. said people who grow up in Melita learn about its importance as a gathering spot, both for settlers and Indigenous people, and that Malainey’s work is adding to the sense of pride people in the area have.“You always had a sense that there was something here … now we’re learning more about agriculture and the methods used in historical times [by Indigenous people] … it’s really astounding.”Evenmore important, Forster said, is how the archeological site is shifting people’s perspectives about which cultural groups have contributed to making the Prairies what they are today.

Since the discovery of the bison scapula hoe in 2018, however, things have changed. Every artifact they find, Malainey said, helps to paint a clearer picture of what life was like before Europeans made contact with Indigenous people in the “It’sarea.like having a puzzle, and the pieces of the puzzle get doled out a few at a time. They don’t necessarily fit together all that well, and you get more of the pieces. Then you can figure out what the big picture is. We’re still gathering pieces at this point in time, but we’re starting to get more information. Every time we go back we find more and more artifacts and we get a better understanding of the people who lived there.”

Watch for farm machinery on the highway during harvest

You’re even more likely to see farm machinery on grid roads, which are narrower and offer drivers less space to pass.•

Harvest is underway in many parts of the province. Drivers may encounter farmers using highways and grid roads to move their machinery from field to field. Each year, there are a small number of collisions between motor vehicles and farm equipment. This type of collision is significantly more likely to result in an That’sinjury.*another good reason that when you’re driving, you should avoid distractions and just drive. Keeping your attention focused on the road ensures you’ll be prepared for whatever you may encounter. Other tips for sharing the road around farm equipment:•Farm machinery is slow moving, so you’ll come up on it quickly when driving at highway speeds.•

Do not pass unless you’re sure that it’s safe to do so. Take it easy, slow down and enjoy the scenic country views if you can’t safely get around the equipment until it leaves the road.• It’s important to be patient and remember that the person driving or towing that farm equipment is likely moving it a short distance from one field to another.

Forster said rediscovering the site’s Indigenous ties is helping people in the area acknowledge the key role Indigenous cultures played in shaping its history.“This is making it more personal. We’re able to see first hand the digging up of history, and learning first hand instead of just reading it somewhere. Now we get to be a part of it.”

By Shawn Senko Growers who give canola crops time for all seeds to reach maturity can see a 10 per cent increase in yield. That is why the Canola Council of Canada recommends swathing when the main stem shows at least 60 per cent seed colour change. Evidence for this later cutting time has been gathered over the years, starting with a Canola Council study from the early 2000s. Results showed that canola swathed at 60-70 per cent seed colour change (SCC) yielded 11 per cent more than fields swathed at 30-40 per cent. In 2013, Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation compared two swath timings – 20-30 per cent and 50-60 per cent SCC – and found that waiting a week until canola reached the more advanced stage increased yields by nearly nine per cent. BASF trials found that 60 per cent SCC is the “sweet spot” for hybrids without the pod-shatter trait. For hybrids with the podshatter trait, BASF trials showed higher yields for canola swathed at 80 per cent and highest yields for canola straight combined.A2020 Canola Council survey of 1,000 canola growers suggests many are cutting too early, and leaving yield on the table. Of the growers who swath all or some of their canola, the survey found that half of them target an SCC of less than 60 per cent when deciding to swath.Growers may have reasons to cut early based on frost risk and logistics, but where possible, we’d like to see the target shift to later cutting. What does 60% SCC look like? At 60 per cent SCC on the main stem, seeds from the bottom third of the stem will have completely turned brown-black in colour. Seeds from the middle third will be mostly brown, with some speckling and mottling. Seeds from the top third will still be green but firm to roll. Seeds that are mushy when rolled between the thumb and finger are not physiologically mature and will shrivel up after cutting. With the main stem showing this level of maturity, seeds from side branches should also be firm to roll. If they’re not, growers may want to leave the field standing a little longer. SCC will typically increase by about 10 percentage points every two or three days (quicker under hot dry conditions, slower under cool moist conditions), so waiting a week can provide a big boost in yield and potential profit.

Proud to Don’tAgricultureSaluteJustGet“R”Done.GET“R”DONERITE!

Uneven fields Canola fields with plants at varying states of maturity often have growers wondering when to cut the crop. Ideally, the least-mature areas of the field will be left until their seeds reach physiological maturity. Swathing remains the best and least risky option to manage extreme variation in maturity, however uneven crops could be left for straight combining. While early maturing plants may start to shell out, late plants have more time to mature. And straight combining eliminates the need to make the swath timing decision at all. Of the farmers who participated in the 2020 CCC survey, 19 per cent straight combined all of their canola acres.

SASKATOON – Carbon dioxide is an important molecule necessary for life on Earth. Trees need CO2 for photosynthesis, crops produce higher yields in its presence, and some bacteria can transform it into food. The molecule is even an important part of human health, driving us to take in big breaths of oxygen.However, too much CO2 can have a disastrous effect on ecosystems and contribute to climate change. That is why scientists want to know how to strike a balance. With the help of the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan, researchers from Simon Fraser University are investigating how organisms sense and respond to CO2. Their research could help advance human and environmental health and lead to new strategies for carbon capture.“It’s very important for organisms to be able to sense local CO2 concentrations and respond because it’s such an essential gas,” said Dr. Dustin King, a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. David Vocadlo’s lab in the university’s Department of Chemistry. In a paper published in Nature Chemical Biology, King and colleagues examined the important role CO2 plays in cyanobacteria — photosynthetic organisms found in water. Cyanobacteria use carbon to create essential nutrients that sustain their life

Bacteria could help to capture greenhouse

“Theycycle.are able to capture it from the atmosphere, fix it directly, and add it to simple organic molecules,” said King. “Understanding how cyanobacteria regulate CO2 fixation may give us an avenue for developing improved CO2 capture technologies.”

King believes we may be able to leverage the system within these organisms, along with industrial processes, to help reduce CO2 emissions. Using the CLS’s CMCF beamline, the team could see detailed molecular structures and study how CO2 binds to a bacterial protein.

“It would be impossible to do it without the CLS because we require high resolution detailed molecular structures,” stated King. “Seeing how these beamlines at the CLS have evolved has been just amazing. Now we collect data sets in a matter of half a minute or so, it’s quite incredible.”

By Carol Baldwin, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Recorder)(Wakaw Sunday August 14, 2022 was the 26th Annual Threshing and Family Fun Day in Birch Hills hosted by the Birch Hills & District Historical Society. The day started off in grand style with a pancake breakfast sponsored by the Town of Birch Hills and held in the Duane Lowe Community Centre, followed by an interdenominational church service held on the Museum Grounds. The day followed the pattern of those that went before, with food available both in the museum and on the grounds outdoors and musical entertainment taking to the stage in the Coverall Building on the grounds.New this year was the Trade Show and the Antique Car Show. Present at the trade show were local artisans and home businesses and the ever-popular home baking, which could arguably be considered an artform in itself. The car show gave car aficionados the chance to marvel at the amount of work the owners had lovingly invested in their vehicles and to reminisce about the vehicles they themselves once cruised the country roads in. Birchview Home, a 30-bed Special Care facility, which is located adjacent to the museum held their 11th annual farmers market and fun day in conjunction with the annual Threshing Day. A fundraising silent auction, raffle and 50/50 draw were run by volunteers with all proceeds going to the Birchview Recreation Department and the Eden Committee to enhance the lives of all the residents living at Birchview preserve.icaltheconnectionweakerlocalgraphicspopulationseachandthistheirgenerationsorhistoricalandtion,catedofandofpromotestion.anicaldayspreservingvaluelessareHistoricalHome.Societiesbecominglessandcommon,buttheirgoesfarbeyondartifactsofgoneby.Anhistor-societyisinessenceeducationalinstitu-Itsveryexistencethelearningthehistoryofaplacetime.Itsroleisthatanorganizationdedi-tothepreserva-collection,researchinterpretationofinformationitemstohelpfutureunderstandheritage.However,becomesabiggerbiggertaskwithpassingyearasanddemo-changeandthepopulacehaveaornon-existenttothepastmuseumandhistor-societyaretryingtoGrowthand

They have the ability to recognize the local stories and to advocate for preserving not just the buildings and artifacts but also the voices of the past. They help tell the smaller, oftentimes quieter, stories that get lost in the larger narratives.

When cattle, goats, sheep, swine, chickens, or other types of livestock are overheated, it can cause many negative effects. The animal can stop eating, eat much less, drink less and not want to move around much. Dr. Melissa Moggy, Extension Coordinator at Alberta Farm Animal Care (afac.ab.ca), explained, “an animal might go down and not want to get up.”

Caring for livestock in extreme heat a delicate balance

“For large animals, like cattle, this can cause crushing injuries where their body weight is so heavy it is crushing them on the bottom. One of the reasons we try to monitor our animals as much as possible in these temperatures is to ensure they are not experiencing stress to that level. We want to try to mitigate that as much as possible.”

One of the effects that can be seen during hot weather is when a milking animal won’t produce as much milk. It is also harder to impregnate females as 18

Province-Wide Disease Testing Program for Blackleg and Clubroot

Soil collected from the field is then submitted for clubroot testing and SaskCanola covers the cost.For early detection, the ideal time to test for clubroot is in the fall. At this point, the galls on the canola plant’s roots are decomposing and starting to release spores into the soil. Private sector agrologists are encouraged to work with growers to ensure that at-risk fields are identified and tested so that the spread of clubroot disease can be reduced. Blackleg Knowledge is power in the fight against blackleg disease. Identifying which blackleg races are present in a field helps guide canola farmers and their agronomists in their seed variety decision-making.SaskCanola is offering a free blackleg test to the first 200 registered canola growers who apply. Farmers can collect plant stems suspected of infection and then contact SaskCanola to receive a blackleg testing code. SaskCanola provides the test results by email. Private sector agrologists have the option of testing fields on behalf of farmers. For more details on testing, call 306-9750262 or visit Disease Testing Programs at saskcanola.com.SaskCanola is a producer-led organization, established in 1991 and supported by 20,000 levypaying Saskatchewan canola producers. SaskCanola’s mandate is to grow producer prosperity by providing value to canola producers through research, advocacy and market development.

This summer and fall, in collaboration with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture, SaskCanola is offering free disease testing for blackleg and clubroot.Keith Fournier, SaskCanola’s Research Committee Chair, outlines the importance of testing canola fields across the province for these invasive and costly diseases.“Clubroot is an invasive soil-borne disease that deprives farmers of their hard-earned income. Clubroot is easier to manage when it’s found at low levels in a soil test before there are visible symptoms in the crop. Blackleg populations can shift over time when there is selection pressure from genetic resistance of canola. For this reason, it’s important for future seeding decisions to select a canola variety with a different resistance gene package,” says Fournier. Clubroot SaskCanola’s clubroot monitoring program is available again this year for Saskatchewan canola growers and their agrologists.

Listing the damage to his property, Horkoff mentioned three bins, vacant buildings on an ancestral farmyard that were destroyed, many trees that were broken and uprooted, but most importantly, canola and wheat crops that were extensively damaged.

Three large grain storage bins on property being farmed by a neighbouring Hutterite community were toppled over by the storm.

A farmyard once occupied by Horkoff’s grandparents, and included a building constructed by Doukhobor settlers 100 years ago, as well as a few bins and an unused barn, were damaged by the storm.

En route, Horkoff pointed to the neighbours’ property where trees in clumps of bush were broken and crops were“Alldamaged.thesecrops were touched.

“Look at how all the plants are leaning in one direction,” he said, as he pulled off a canola pod that contained white spots where it was struck by the force of the hail.

“That wheat is about 85 per cent damaged,” he said, and when looking over a canola crop he explained that all the white one can identify on the top of the plants is the result of hail damage.

“If want to farm, sometimes have to pick up and move on,” Kerry Horkoff of Kamsack, said last week on a tour of his farm located about 10 kilometres north of Veregin.Horkoff agreed to tour his property and that of some of his neighbours in order to show the destruction of property and crops that occurred the night of Aug. 13, when severe winds and hail struck a large area that included Kelvington, Wadena, Preeceville, Amsterdam and Tadmore, and ended just before reaching Kamsack.Photos on social media show serious damage was reported in the Kelvington area, with the Co-op gas bar’s roof destroyed and grain bins tipped in multiple spots. Hail was said to have been the likely main culprit, but strong winds are also prominent in severe storms. Damage was also reported around Lintlaw, where trees were seen on the ground, a snowmobile trailer upturned and a van outside of town tipped on its side. Saturday night saw storms hit hard near Preeceville, where a poultry farm was damaged.“It was a plough wind,” Horkoff said, pointing to a nearby wooded clump where many of the trees were snapped or uprooted, all leaning in the same southeastern direction.“Iwas here until about 8 p.m. on Aug. 13, and then went home,” he said. “On Sunday morning, a neighbour called, suggesting I check my yard.“This was the third such event I’ve experienced in 10 years,” he said, adding that he’s been farming the one section of land for 48 years.

SASKATOON – The findings of a recently published study of ancient groundwaters have important implications for such practices as carbon sequestration and deep underground storage of waste from nuclear power and oil and gas production, says University of Saskatchewan (USask) researcher Dr. Grant FergusonGroundwater(PhD). at depths of several hundred metres or more can be hundreds of millions of years old and are often thought of stagnant and isolated from the atmosphere and the water cycle—a reason these subsurface areas are targeted as potential sites for subsurface waste disposal, said Ferguson. “But things are more dynamic down there than we thought,” said Ferguson, professor of civil, geological and environmental engineering at USask’s College of Engineering and coauthor of the paper in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

This research shows landscape evolution can effect a dramatic change in the subsurface environment in a few million years—a short period in geological time, McIntosh said. The study is useful because the same techniques can be applied to characterize sites elsewhere to learn how they are connected to the atmosphere and the surface, she said.

“You are going to see an animal that is panting. Depending on the animal, that might look like the sides of their body are moving faster or they might have their mouth open and the tongue hanging out. They may also drool and froth at the mouth, rather like how rabies looks on TV, but this is because they are too hot and breathing so heavily,” stated Moggy. As it can be difficult in some areas of Alberta and parts of Saskatchewan for animals to find shade, AFAC advises moving the animals before the heat wave arrives to areas with more shade. As not everyone has that luxury, offer the animals as much water as possible and ensure it is always available. An animal without water is one that will go downhill incredibly fast, says Moggy. “We also instruct to avoid handling the animals when it is this hot,” said Moggy.Moving livestock around in high heat can further increase body temperature. Feeding at dawn or dusk is also recommended as animals need to move around to feed. Those are the coolest parts of the day where the animal can still see the food. If at all possible, wetting the ground will also help keep them cooler. “If you do have a small area of land with a few animals, such as chickens or pigs, the best thing to do is to keep them calm, not move them around much, and to provide as much ventilation as possible. Check the animals regularly throughout the day as getting overheated can happen quickly. Please call your vet if the animals appear to be in severe distress, they go down and can’t get up, they are flat out, they need medical intervention, they require intravenous fluids as opposed to drinking orally,” added Moggy.The AFAC website has fact sheets available for heat stress in various types of livestock under their Resources/ Printable Resources tab, as well as ways to avoid it happening.

The paper describes the surprising findings in the Paradox Basin, located in southeastern Utah and southwestern Colorado, where the research team found unexpectedly young groundwater at a depth where conventionally much older aquifers are located.“That’s what was so exciting about this study,” said co-author Dr. Jennifer McIntosh (PhD), Distinguished Scholar at the University of Arizona (U of A) in the Department of Hydrology and Atmospheric Sciences and adjunct professor at USask. “We expected to find that groundwater would get progressively older as you go deeper,” said McIntosh . “Instead, we found teamlionsthatthethreerelativelygroundwater,million-year-oldwhichisyoung,aboutkilometresbeneathsurfaceinsedimentsarehundredsofmil-ofyearsold.”McIntoshheadedtheonwhichFerguson was the lead in physical hydrology. Dr. Jihyun Kim (PhD), now a postgraduate student at the University of Calgary and a former U of A PhD candidate whom McIntosh and Ferguson co-supervised, was first author. This study is among the first to employ a relatively new krypton-81 technique to date deep groundwater. Unlike carbon-14, which scientists use to determine the age of materials up to 40,000 years old, the longer decay period of radioactive krypton 81 can be used to calculate the age of water up to 1.2-millionyears-old.Thestudy findings are related to the rapid geologic changes over the past three million to 10 million years in the Colorado Plateau, where the dramatic incision (downcutting, or erosion under the riverbed) of the large Colorado River, which formed the Grand Canyon, began flushing out ancient groundwaters.Before the incision of the Colorado River, the Colorado Plateau was relatively flat and seawater from the Paleozoic era (500 million to 250 million years ago) was trapped within the sediments for hundreds of millions of years, Ferguson“Essentially,said. what the incision did was to create drains that let water from the surface to penetrate and flush the ancient highly saline waters in aquifers both above and below the salt deposits at the centre of the deep groundwater system.”

“We are so pleased to welcome the USask Livestock and Forage Centre of Excellence into the Pan-Canadian Smart Farm Network,” said Agnew. “With additional partners come additional opportunities in applied research and education that will help producers maximize technology and data when they’re making those sometimes tough farm management decisions. Independent validation of ag technologies is critical and so is ensuring that validation is done using more than a single smart farm and more than one agro-climatic zone.” At USask’s LFCE, researchers investigate different aspects of beef cattle production “from soil to supper” and test drive new options to enhance animal welfare, animal health, product quality, and food safety on Canada’s farms.

LFCE. “We believe this network of smart farms creates an opportunity to facilitate and support ag tech innovation, development, and demonstration in support of sustainable production and to help producers maximize technology and data. We look forward to the road ahead.”Linking smart farms across the country multiplies the learnings and increases the value of data generated to connect farmers with industry and research partners to find practical solutions to agWithchallenges.funding from the Canadian AgriFood Automation and Intelligence Network (CAAIN), the PanCanadian Smart Farm

A newly funded project in the Colorado Plateau led by McIntosh is also examining the relationship between subsurface hydrology and life in more detail, testing the hypothesis that deep circulation of water from the surface could have re-inoculated microbial life into sediments that were deeply buried and sterilized by high temperatures in the geologic past.

For Dr. Joy Agnew (PhD), associate vicepresident, Applied Research at Olds College, the network’s expansion and collaboration across different agricultural zones and land bases brings more depth to the projects and technology evaluations conducted at Canada’s smart farms, and that will benefit farmers and developers.

Michele Konschuh, a research associate in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Lethbridge, is working with Galaxy Ag Ventures and Farming Smarter Association to examine the potential of rice crop in the Southern Alberta region. The staple provides valuable resources like rice starch, protein, and oil. According to the Observatory of Economics in 2020 Canada ranked 48th in exports of rice in the world, worth $17.9 million. Rice has quickly become a fast-growing staple in many household diets because of its nutrients and meeting many gluten-free dietary restrictions.GalaxyAg Ventures works on new crop development and earlystage investments in the agriculture industry. Approaching Konschuh to look for a more feasible way to grow the crop locally rather than importing the product. “They came to the University to ask if we could help them explore the opportunity or the possibility. We’re at the very early stages, which is really just proof of concept, we’re trying to see if we can get rice to grow here. And if we can select varieties suitable for our growing conditions,” said Konschuh, noting Alberta has similar climates to parts of China where rice is also grown. Exploring rice’s rotation with other high value crops in the province. Rice is traditionally grown in standing water but that is primarily done with lowland rice production for convenience, with the crop often being transplanted afterwards. “It does need water, but it doesn’t need as much water as we picture. Because a lot of the reason rice is grown in standing water is to prevent weeds and pests from getting the crop. So here, if we can find other strategies for weeds and pests, then we can grow rice with about the same amount of irrigation water that would be required for potatoes, sugar beets, or corn,” said“HereKonschuh.our desire would be to make it mechanized, and to use as little water as possible and get a reasonable return on investment. We have to explore what’s possible here. Starting with a few different lines of rice from a breeder in Korea, we were able to get one of them to go all the way to seed production in spite of our long day length. That was in a greenhouse

Zavislak, community development officer, said it was pretty much impossible to get a specific attendance count, but volunteers working with her to put on the Street Festival were confident that there were several thousand people on the streets of Canora for the activities. “It was a huge success, we have seen it grow immensely since last year,” reported Zavislak.

dents take great pride in our community and love to see the streets packed withThepeople.”Street Festival could not have taken place without a lot of hard work from a large group of people. “So many visitors told me they were blown away by how well-planned the event was,” continued Zavislak. “There were many volunteers who put in countless hours, including: Canora-Pelly MLA Terry Dennis, Gina Rakochy, Anne Shilvert, Morgan Homeniuk, Barb Messenger, Kristen Gabora, Jodie Kowalyshyn, Kelly MacTavish, Brad Gabora, Deb Gabora, Michael Leslie, Chris Danyluk, Megan Scherban, Simone Homeniuk, Gladys Zavislak, Karen Wilgosh, Councillor Denise Leslie, Councillor Dave Wasyliw, Councillor Jackie Fetchuk and her husband Mike, and Mayor Mike Kwas and his wife Jessica. Kris Currie and Robbie Taylor from Canora Public Works also put in a lot of hours on ZavislakSaturday.”said working together with the Canora Ag Society for the weekend’s events turned out to be a great fit. “Our Tourism Committee set the date for the Live & Play Street Festival last year, and just about everyone liked that weekend, so we kept it for this year,” explained Zavislak. “Just about everyone in and around Canora is back from holidays, but it’s before students go back to school. And for most farmers, harvest is not yet in full swing. For the Canora Ag Society, choosing this weekend allowed them to get back on the circuit for chuckwagon and chariot racing and gymkhana events. So it turned out to be a huge community celebration. And with our committee’s past experience, we were able to help with things like advertising for Ag Days. They bring something wonderful to Canora. And people from the racing circuit found their way over to the Street Festival and really seemed to enjoy it.” Zavislak says it’s important to remember that weekends like this support local businesses and improvements to Canora, including things like new welcome signs. “If you’re not happy with how things are in town, join a committee and make a difference,” she concluded.

Hard-working volunteers created an eye-catching rural atmosphere to welcome visitors to downtown Canora.

“The 2021 event raised $10,000 for the Tourism Committee, this year’s total will be about double that.”Zavislak said there were many highlights of the downtown activities during the Street Festival.“Wehad between 75 and 100 vendors. It was a great turnout. A lot of people were drawn to the Cruisers Car Show along Main Street. The Assiniboine River Archery Club concession did a wonderful job of feeding everyone with minimal lineups. The Saturday Evening Cabaret with The Crawdaddys was excellent with a really good turnout,” she

A Kamsack athlete is bringing home two medals from the 2022 Canada Summer Games that were played in Niagara, Ont. Aug. 6 to 21. Teddy Hudye, 23, placed second in the Shot Put Para-Male event, earning the silver medal at the games on Aug. 16. He received 357 points, while Jesse Zesseu of Toronto, who received the gold medal, received 569 points. And then on Saturday, Hudye earned his second medal of the Games; a bronze medal in the Discus Para-Male event. Speaking to the Times by phone on Aug. 18, Hudye said he had expected that his chances were “pretty good” for that second medal.

Hudye, who lives in Yorkton where he works at SecurTek Monitoring Solutions in tech support, said he began training in shot put and discus after having attended a symposium in 2015. “I tried it in therapy and was good at it,” he said. “I liked lifting weights and throwing goes with that.” His coaches said that Hudye attended the Parasport Training Program in Saskatchewan and then competed at the Canada Games Team Sask trials, where he did very well, and was named to the team in early June.  Hudye said he also enjoys water skiing and sledge hockey, also known as Para ice hockey, which is an adaptation of ice hockey designed for players who have a physicalHudyedisability.said that attending the Canada Games is “pretty cool.” He said he enjoys seeing all the athletes and watching the sports. He said that in preparation for the Games, he trained twice a week in Yorkton, while also working out five days a week. “I plan to keep on training and hopefully one day make the paraOlympic team.”

“Hudye put together a successful string of throws on the first day of Week 2 competition, which resulted in a suspenseful wait for a podium finish,” Ashley Dennison, Games Services and Communication Lead for the Saskatchewan Games Council, said in a release. Hudye earned the silver medal for Team Sask at the newlybuilt Canada Games Park in St. Catharine’s, Ont. “Hudye is new to Shot Put Para, having trained and competed in the sport for only one year,” Dennison said. “I’ve been trying to convince Teddy to do throws for three years and this year… he finally committed to it,” said Jen Wood, his coach. “He’s put in a ton of time, and it’s been just around a year since we’ve been working together, and he’s totally committed to it.”“Woods is his coach back in Saskatchewan and at the 2022 Canada Summer Games,” Dennison explained.

Hudye competes in Yorkton and Saskatoon on the Cyclones Track and Field Club Team. “You know when you see someone’s potential and you know they’re going to do well… it’s what I knew about Teddy,” Wood said.   Before the Games Hudye had high expectations for himself, Dennison said. His main goal was to win a medal and that he did. When asked how he felt winning a silver medal, Hudye said “It felt pretty good, it made all the training worth it!”
