New Canora Farmers Market structure part of Town Square Project Courtesy of Canora Courier Motorists in Canora probably noticed a new addition under construction on the north end of Main Street on May 26 and 27. An 8 x 40-foot permanent structure for the Canora Farmers Market was built outside the Visitor Information Centre/CN Museum by Rice Construction of Canora. The project was paid for by a grant from the EDC (Economic D e v e l o p m e n t Commission), according to Brandi Zavislak, community development officer. The structure is covered by a pergola, which was built in five sections. “We will be putting
in multiple levels of vegetation around the structure,” said Zavislak. “A new sign with lighting around it will add to the historical feel around that area. A nice addition will be an outdoor clock at the top of the museum, which will be put in next year.” Zavislak said this year’s Canora Farmers Market is scheduled to get underway in July. “For 2021 we are planning to put in lights, open in June and we will have the Farmers Market in the evenings.” Future community development plans for the site include putting in a stage and hosting concerts, cabarets and a variety of other community events and fundraisers. As part of the Canora Town Square Project,
Zavislak said these additions are designed to bring a new thought process to Canora and attract more visitors to the downtown area by providing a unique atmosphere. “One of the main reasons we chose the location was the history of the museum, which was built in 1904,” said Zavislak. Canora CN Station House Museum is the oldest Class 2 railway station still operating in Saskatchewan and displays CN Rail memorabilia, pioneer artifacts, local art, souvenirs and tourist information, according to information provided by the Town of Canora. For the convenience of visitors, the museum has a kitchen, bathrooms and electricity. Zavislak
Work on the Farmers Market structure began with Owen Chernyk, left and Cole Ungar putting in a dozen 6 x 6-inch posts. said she will make sure that all necessary COVID-19 precautions are taken, including encouraging proper
social distancing and having the bathrooms cleaned frequently. “This project is the type of new idea that
is crucial for Canora and other small towns in order to survive and thrive in the future,” she concluded.
Gateway Co-op president Lyle Olson elected to national Federated Co-op board Courtesy of Preeceville Progress Lyle Olson, of Endeavour and Preeceville area, was recently elected to the board of Federated Cooperatives Ltd (FCL) at the 91st annual meeting in Saskatoon on March 2. Olson has been the Gateway Co-op president for the past five years and projects that he will be stepping down from the position as soon as Gateway is able to host its annual meeting. Olson started his Coop career in the late 1980s
when he worked at the Preeceville and Canora locations for numerous years and briefly at Pelly for six months. He and his wife Grace built the Tempo cash station in Sturgis with dreams of working for themselves, and owned and operated the business from 1992 to 2005. The Tempo was served by the Co-op at that time and continues to be affiliated with Coop. He was elected to the Gateway Co-op after he sold his business. He continues to be part of the family’s business,

In the last few years he has stated that he has taken a more relaxed part in the family business. “It is a great honour to be elected to the Federated Co-op and I look forward to continue serving Co-op but in a more challenging role,” said Olson. He was one of three delegates nominated for the position. “Co-op has undergone a lot of changes through the years, technology being the biggest change,” continued Olson. “In the beginning Co-op was in dire straits with being faced with an older fleet of trucks and facilities were not up to par but Co-op has made a tremendous amount of changes which has made it the success it is today. “I feel I have a lot to offer Federated Co-op as I have been involved within all the aspects of Co-op, from the bottom level to the
administration level.” Olson previously served on the Gateway Co-op as a board member for 10 years prior to being elected as president, a position which he has filled for five years. Working together, FCL and local retail co-ops form the Co-operative Retail System (CRS) which helps build, feed and fuel individuals and communities from Vancouver Island to Northwest Ontario and into the Arctic. Federated Cooperatives Limited (FCL) does business differently. At its core, FCL is a cooperative that supports other co-operatives that serve people in Western Canada. FCL is a wholesaling, manufacturing, marketing and administrative cooperative owned by more than 170 independent retail co-operative associations. These retail co-ops own and operate agro centres, food stores, gas bars/convenience stores and home centres.

SIGN adjusting to counselling needs As the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on work, businesses, schools, recreation - on life in general - enters a fourth month, the need for people to talk to others about their problems continues to grow. Walk-In Counselling (WIC), a program of the Society for the Involvement of Good Neighbours (SIGN) has been available four years now to those who need to discuss their issues. Since the start of stay-athome in Saskatchewan, the program has changed to Call-in Counselling by phone or video. That has affected the number of people accessing the program, SIGN WIC counsellors David Dyste and Karmen Pearce note. “I think there are a number of barriers to people calling in, including not having minutes on their phone, not having access to video conferencing, and not having a quiet place to go and have an in-depth conversation,” Dyste said. “And
some people just prefer to meet face-to-face.” Pre-COVID, WIC also offered counselling at the Yorkton Public Library. That was popular because of the convenient location, and because counselling was available in the evenings. Counselling was also available one day a week at the Crowstand Centre in Kamsack, which made it easier for those who found it difficult to travel to Yorkton. That all changed in March when the lockdown began and Walk-In changed to Call-In. There was a decrease in calls compared to previous in-person meetings, but that appears to be starting to change as the pandemic continues. People still need to talk about the issues and concerns like depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, trauma, grief, addictions, relationship issues and parenting or family conflict, the counsellors point out. Pearce notes that COVID-19 related issues
are now added to that list: financial strain, adjusting to working from home, juggling changes in childcare, home schooling and loneliness. As well, COVID-19 has made it harder for many to deal with the difficulties they were already experiencing, Dyste adds. SIGN Executive Director Andrew Sedley notes that in conversations with mental health professionals around the province, the apparent anomaly of more problems but fewer people accessing counselling is province-wide, but is starting to change as the effects of the pandemic continue into another month. Dyste, who grew up and received his education in British Columbia and moved to Yorkton seven years ago, is registered with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association as a Master Practitioner of Clinical Counselling. In BC he worked at
Teen Challenge, helping people overcome addictions. In Yorkton he provided private counselling services and has worked at SIGN WIC since last summer. Pearce has worked at SIGN since 2012. In 2016 she completed her Master of Social Work at the University of Regina and as part of her studies participated in the SIGN WIC pilot project that resulted in similar clinics being established throughout Saskatchewan last year Dyste said the counsellors have noticed that males are more likely to attend walk-in noappointment counselling than other types of coun-
selling. “This may be an indication of a change in the stigma of counselling, or it may be that males are looking for a quick answer to their struggles.” “It can be very difficult for people to take the step to reach out for help,” Pearce adds. “We offer support when individuals are wanting it. Having the WIC services available at different locations and hours of operation -- and temporarily now by phone and video -- helps reduce some of the barriers.” While SIGN continues to be closed for faceto-face meetings until Phase 4 of the provincial
re-opening plan, Call-In Counselling continues to be available five days a week. It’s available Mondays and Fridays from 12 noon to 5 pm, Tuesdays from 2 pm to 7 pm, and Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9 am to 5 pm. Appointments are not required or made. Those wanting to speak with a counsellor may call 306-782-1440 during these hours. If the line is busy, or if there is no answer the counsellors are likely with an appointment, and callers are asked to leave a message. A counsellor will return the call as quickly as possible. — Submitted
Local girl wins another award for contest artwork Courtesy of Kamsack Times
Parkland College gets ag research dollars Parkland College has been awarded a $200,000 research grant by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). The Innovation Enhancement grant is designated for improvements at the research farm just south of Yorkton, which the College operates in partnership with the East Central Research Foundation (ECRF). NSERC announced funding last week for 128 new applied research
projects at colleges, CÉGEPs, and polytechnics across Canada. The projects focus on priority areas such as agriculture, clean energy, and artificial intelligence. Parkland College and ECRF will use the NSERC funding primarily to hire students for work integrated learning opportunities at the research farm. The students will assist researchers in their work during the growing season. The funding will also be used to purchase farm equipment and video
equipment used to share the results of research projects at www.ecrf.ca. This season, researchers are conducting a number of trials and demonstration projects on land supplied by the City of Yorkton. Some of these projects are supported by the provincial government Agriculture Demonstration of Practices and Technologies (ADOPT) program, with others sponsored by businesses in the agriculture industry.. — Submitted
A Kamsack girl who has “enjoyed drawing ever since I can remember,” has been awarded the top prize in the latest Saskatchewan Wildlife (SWF) 2020 Fish Artwork Contest. A picture of a rainbow trout submitted by Kira Salahub was chosen as the overall best entry in the contest which ran from April 6 to May 15. The annual art contest was open to youngsters in Grades 4 to 6. “Kira spent probably close to 10 hours working on her rainbow trout picture done in pencil crayon,” said Kelly Salahub, Kira’s mother. “I initially saw the contest on the SWF Facebook page and encouraged her to enter.” Earlier this year Kira was featured on the front page of the February 13 issue of the Kamsack Times for having won the second place prize of a certificate and $50 cash in the Assiniboine Watershed Stewardship Association annual poster contest. For the SWF contest, the criteria to enter included artwork with “original and creative entries showing native Saskatchewan fish in their natural habitat.” Submissions could be colour or black and white, painting, draw-

EDITORIAL You can go camping, but you won’t be able to have fun Saskatchewan provincial parks opened on Monday, well sort of but not really. You can go camping but you can’t have a lot of fun while doing so. As we’ve gone along in this pandemic, the best way to figure out if you are allowed to do something is to ask yourself this very important question, “Do I want to do this?” If the answer is ‘yes’, then it’s not allowed. If the answer is ‘no’, then it’s okay and you won’t catch the virus. So, in the case of camping you can go and set up your campsite but visits with neighbours isn’t really encouraged. Beaches are closed. Playgrounds are closed. If you can’t shower in the camper, you are out of luck on that as shower facilities are closed. Laundry facilities are also unavailable. If you need a washroom, your best bet is the bush. It sounds like firewood not purchased from the campground is also prohibited. But, have fun. Camping is open. In the interest of that very important question - ‘Do I want to do this?’ Most of us would answer ‘no’ to rioting and destroying cities. However, that doesn’t appear to cause much alarm when it comes to Covid. While America burns I don’t think I’ve heard a single government official call for calm to alleviate the healthcare system from an influx of rioters who failed to social distance while they destroyed businesses, burnt cop cars, and beat up shop owners. Perhaps there is a study out there that indicates the heat from a burning building kills the virus on the spot. Do you have kids who’d like to play a bit of baseball this summer? That doesn’t appear to be safe despite overwhelming evidence that children are, largely, unaffected by the virus because it’s actually the responsibility of the minor ball organizations to ensure someone’s grandparent doesn’t get sick. Would you like to visit your loved one in the hospital or care home? Most of us answer ‘yes’ to that, so that’s banned. It’s apparently healthy for elderly people who miss their family to be isolated from them for
MIKE STACKHOUSE mikestackhouse@hotmail.com
Stackhouse Soapbox almost three months now despite widespread indications that the virus is on the decline all over the developed world. I guess I’m not arguing the actual safety to continue with these measures designed to limit people getting together. I think it’s very obvious that a mass gathering poses a very high risk to virus transmission. I’m just arguing that it doesn’t matter anymore. People are out and doing whatever they want and keeping a gym closed isn’t keeping anyone any more or less safe than what’s already happening. In theory, it may be the correct thing to do but in reality it’s doing nothing other than destroy the gym owner’s livelihood as well as prevent people from achieving better overall physical health. If thousands of people can gather at a park in Toronto, or if thousands can hang out half naked at swimming facilities in Arizona, or if thousands can congregate all over North America and riot; then why can’t we figure out a way to have small family visits at long term care homes in sparsely populated Saskatchewan? Why can’t we allow a dozen children to get together and play sports? How come you can’t put 25 or 30 in a classroom for school? Or, show me the science that says a beach in Saskatchewan has a high rate of transmission and needs to be closed, but a similar beach in Florida or California can pack thousands without a virus surge? As the province deems things safe to reopen, there is always the possibility that municipal governments will feel differently. In Prince Albert, for example, the city has decided that their local indoor swimming facility as well as the arena that is the home for the WHL’s Raiders will remain
closed for the rest of 2020. What this means for the Western Hockey League franchises there is unclear, but the city is basing its decision, in part, on there being a ban on larger gatherings for the rest of the calendar year. Which again, I would point out the inconsistency in the ‘science’ when it comes to reopening. The state of Texas has announced it will allow stadiums to welcome fans up to 25% capacity effective immediately. I guess it’s safe to have 12,000 fans watch the Texas Rangers at Globe Life Park in Arlington; but it’s not okay to put 8,350 into Mosaic for a Roughrider game. The same day I sent in last week’s column, the Saskatchewan government announced an agreement had been reached with the NDP to sit in the legislature this month. I’m not sure who gets the ‘credit’ for this, but I’m happy to hear our provincial politicians are getting back to work. It’s overdue. While it’s true that there is work done behind the scenes that a lot of us will never see, the reality is that it’s healthy to have an opposition regardless of what you may think of that opposition’s effectiveness. Meanwhile, the minority federal government struck a deal with the federal NDP to back a motion to, pretty much, close Parliament for the summer even though we are in the middle of a pandemic. Once again, our federal politicians are proving to all of us that we don’t need 338 of them when 30 can get the work done in a time that has never been more important in any of our lives. We need to axe, at least, half of these people. Nice people: Byron Viome, Andrea Tonn, Jeniffer Mann, and Dustin Brears.
Was there a point to closing rural ERs? Jordan Stricker, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Estevan Mercury) The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has been taking harsh criticism since they announced they would be closing rural emergency rooms in preparation of a COVID-19 surge. Which would have made more sense if most of Saskatchewan had not been doing so well in the positive case department. When the SHA initially released their modelling for COVID-19 preparation and planning, it shocked the public. The modelling, which the SHA said was there for “worst case scenarios”, said on the high-end Saskatchewan could see up to 15,000 deaths. That number, whether worst case scenario or not, is more than enough to scare people. It was during their presentation of their COVID-19 Readiness Plan in early April, in the section related to “integrated rural health”, they said they would temporarily convert some hospitals to support alternative level of care patients over the next four to six weeks, meaning early to mid May. By the time mid-May came around, we were in the midst of phase two of the province’s Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan. The announcement the SHA was continuing on with their plan to “temporarily convert” rural emer-
gency rooms just didn’t make sense. It shocked many living in rural communities, wondering what this means if something went wrong. It was a good worry to have because COVID-19 or not, you just never know when you’ll need an emergency room. If the province had seen the numbers some others have had over the course of COVID-19 hitting Canada, these measures would make sense. The fact the SHA was planning ahead meant they were taking this seriously, which is good. But to strike fear into the public and convert these emergency rooms when the demand just wasn’t there was unnecessary. I don’t think they planned on having such a harsh reaction to their temporary conversions. Some areas that were closed said they were given less than 24 hours to shut down and convert. SHA CEO Scott Livingstone said during a press conference the announcement was made weeks ago, and they do this sort of thing all of the time. That is true. There was a Freedom of Information Act document released by the New Democratic Party which showed in fact, these sorts of shutdowns, although usually a lot shorter, do happen. Regardless of whether the SHA felt they had been transparent and gave the public notice, they came up short and felt the wrath of the pub-
lic for going ahead with their plans. Only a few weeks into their conversion plans the SHA announced they would start reopening rural emergency rooms starting June 15. Both Livingstone and Health Minister Jim Reiter said this was the plan the whole time. It just seems like a far cry to announce the shut down of 12 emergency rooms for a few weeks. You can’t help but think public pressure had something to do with them announcing the plan for reopening. Both Reiter and Continued on Page 5

Is science back in style?
By Cam Dahl, President of Cereals Canada
There have been some unexpected impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. One of these is the new celebrity status of our Chief Medical Health Officers. A lot of people who just a few short months ago never even knew every province had a Chief Medical Health Officer are now hanging on to every word. Does this mean science and respected authority based on knowledge education and experience is coming back in style? I hope this is the case but there are worrying signs society’s newfound trust in science may not outlast COVID-19. First to the good news. A recent survey (by Proof Strategies) found that Canadians trust in doctors and scientists has increased by over 10% since the pandemic hit. This is true in most of the world, for example results in Europe show that public trust in science and researchers
has soared during the pandemic. This does not mean that the internet snakeoil salesmen have gone away. Even the President of the United States has mused about disinfectant injections to the lungs or ultraviolet light through the skin to destroy the virus. But outside of the most diehard conspiracy theorists trust in science seems to be on the ascendancy and faith in quackery is on the decline. At first blush this is good news for those of us involved in, and who want to advance, agriculture and agri-food. Could we be seeing a turn to trust in nutrition advice actually based on scientific evidence rather than the latest fad? Some anecdotes indicate that this might be the case. For example, the antigluten fad, which was beginning to fade away before COVID-19, seems to have vanished. People have fallen in love with bread again,
as is evidenced by the bump in flour demand across Canada. How does society’s trust in science and research impact our food and those who supply it? For many people, the pandemic has brought home the tremendous strength and value of our food chain. Despite some disruptions and inconveniences, Canadians have not been at risk that the shelves will be empty when they visit the grocery store. What might not be as readily appreciated is that the strength and resilience of Canadian agriculture and our food supply chain is a result of science and research. Our appreciation for the strength of our supply chain and food production should not be a momentary thing that disappears after the pandemic is resolved. This should be a moment of sober reflection over how important food security is and that can only be accomplished

Continued from Page 4 Premier Scott Moe took responsibility in saying communication could have been done better. That sentiment has been mentioned a few times over the course of the COVID-19 crisis. It is fair to say no one knew how to operate in times like these. Most of us have never faced something this intense and widespread. But making decisions that scare the public and possibly put rural lives at
before the pandemic included much nostalgia for the agriculture of past generations. We want full grocery shelves, cheap food, but agriculture practices that look like they have come out of Charlotte’s Web. This rosy retrospection has been interrupted somewhat by the immediacy of the pandemic, but I fear it will be back as our focus on dealing with COVID-19 becomes a memory. Now is the time for both governments and industry to step up and emphasize that the security and resiliency of the food supply chain, experienced by Canadians during the pandemic, is not
an accident. Canadians have been food secure through the pandemic because of modern agriculture that includes pesticides, chemical fertilizers, precision agriculture and sciencebased regulations. Further, Canada needs to use this time of a resurgence in the understanding of the value of science and research to push for a greater scientific foundation of the world’s trading system. After all it is not just Canadian consumers that depend on the resiliency of a science-based food supply chain, but consumers in every country to which we export Canadian farmers’ production.
risk for a plan that no longer seems sufficient is something the SHA has hopefully learned from.
protesters away remains to be seen. The SHA will reopen the Arcola emergency room on June 15. Whether or not the remaining emergency rooms will be open swiftly remains to be seen. The SHA has not yet given timelines as to when they will be reopened. Hopefully, they act quickly and no one in rural communities has to suffer because they have nowhere to go when they need help the most.
Angry citizens planned a rally which would take place outside of the Saskatchewan Legislature, with hundreds expected to attend to fight the SHA’s decision to go ahead with the plan. Whether or not the announcement to reopen will be enough to send

The Grandstand has been a great venue to host a rodeo, and over the years it has hosted many, with aspiring bull riders testing their mettle for Yorkton audiences. But what was it like for those cowboys? In 1983, at the 100th Yorkton Fair, Yorkton This Week’s Jeff Rud spoke to two bull riders about their experience. The following is his story, reprinted from the July 13, 1983 edition. Cody Snyder and Dan Lowry relaxed with a beer in the shade of their van last Wednesday afternoon, gearing up for another long series of trips. The pair had just finished competing in the bull riding event, part of last week’s Saskatchewan Stampede and Exhibition rodeo. There wasn’t much time to reflect on their performances, however. They had to hit the road for Alberta and the prestigious Calgary Stampede bull riding event Friday. By Sunday, they were in Montana for another rodeo. “The bull didn’t buck,” drawled Snyder, summing up his ride in Yorkton, one of the few events he hasn’t placed in this year. “That’s half the marking – the way the bull bucks. It’s really the luck of the draw.” The other half of evaluation in bull riding is, of course, how well the cowboy rides. Snyder and Lowry have excelled in that respect so far this year.
through supporting the science behind efficient production. Sadly, I am not sure the return to a trust in institutions, research and scientists is a trend that is going to last longer than social distancing. Most people recognize that the decisions they are making today will have an immediate impact on their own health and the wellbeing of their loved ones (exceptions noted for those who crowd downtown Toronto parks). This immediacy of impact will fade when we come out of the pandemic and the latest quick cure for everything pops up on the internet. Food commentary

Teens to help USask researchers track climate change and wildlife impacts in northern Canada As part of a University of Saskatchewan (USask) research project, small teams of high school students from Saskatchewan and Manitoba will spend their summers in bug jackets, venturing into the wilderness to measure permafrost and track caribou around Churchill, Man. Delayed due to COVID-19, the three-year project is funded by a $129,000 grant to USask agriculture researcher Ryan Brook from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council’s (NSERC) PromoScience Program, which supports projects that promote an understanding of science and engineering among young Canadians. Beginning in 2021, Brook will lead small teams of high school students, Indigenous undergraduate students, high school teachers, and staff from Parks Canada in a collaborative long-term study of the impacts of climate change in the Arctic. “The program will engage youth in science, targeting under-represented Indigenous youth and girls in Saskatchewan and Manitoba,� said Brook. “It’s the experience of a lifetime. Students will be the sole human inhabitants of a national park. Visiting this place can literally change a student’s life.� Every August, a student-teacher-researcher team will helicopter in to conduct field work in Manitoba’s remote Wapusk National Park on the western bank of

Hudson Bay. Students will measure vegetation cover, collect plant and soil samples, and record the thickness of permafrost at several locations in the park, adding to extensive climate data collection started by Brook in 1998. Every winter, a smaller team will measure lichen and snow conditions of caribou habitats to better understand the qualities that make a location attractive to the animals. “Caribou are a keystone species,� said Brook. “They’re a core part of the culture of many Indigenous communities and an indicator of a healthy ecosystem. If they are doing well, then the whole ecosystem is probably doing OK.� During both winter and summer trips, the students will help build a photo database by using long telephoto lenses to capture pictures of caribou at a distance, and will collect images from automatic trail cameras that snap photos year-round. “The really exciting part of the whole project is that the research is student-led. They take the lead on data collection, analysis, and also learning to be good leaders,� said Brook. “I’m really there as a science advisor and polar bear guard.� In the lead-up to the field trips, students will learn essential skills in data collection and wilderness sur-
vival, including dealing with hypothermia, identifying plants, and staying safe around polar bears. After each trip, the research team will present their findings to the community in Churchill, and upon their return home, the students will present about their experiences to their high school classmates. A small group of students will also get the chance to present at an international conference each year. “Feedback that we have received over and over again from northern communities is that they want the students from the North to understand both science and traditional ecological knowledge,� said Brook. “This program recognizes the critical value of engaging the communities.� The research program builds on USask’s international student-led Arctic monitoring and research program and on a USask senior undergraduate field course which has engaged 400 students directly and hundreds of students indirectly over the last 14 years in hands-on research in the Hudson Bay Lowlands. The research is also made possible in large part thanks to in-kind support by USask, and logistical support from the Canadian Polar Continental Shelf program, Parks Canada, and the Government of Manitoba.. — Submitted

Students raise fish for trout pond By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer
New trout have once again been released this spring into the Logan Green Fish Pond in Yorkton. Derek Little of Yorkton who sits on the Fisheries Executive of SWF explained that the Yorkton branch of the SWF worked with the hatchery in Fort Qu’Appelle acquiring trout eggs which were distributed to Sacred Heart and Yorkton Regional High Schools to raise to fingerling size through the Fish in
Schools (FinS). “Fish in Schools (FinS) program provides Saskatchewan students with a firsthand look at fish and aquatic habitats in their very own classroom. The program involves raising trout from eggs to fry before releasing them in a provincially stocked waterbody,� details www.swf. sk.ca “In January/February, eyed trout eggs are placed into special classroom incubators. Over the following three to four months, students care for their fish by monitoring and maintaining the con-
ditions required for their trout to thrive. In May/ June, the trout are ready to be released by the students.� This year the cycle was shortened because of school closures, said Little, but the fish from the two Yorkton schools, as well as one in Ituna and one in Melville went into the Logan Green Pond. He added unfortunately, students were not on hand because of the pandemic to help with the release. So if a school was interested, how does a classroom get involved? Continued on Page 8
Students at area schools raise trout from eggs in class to learn about the biology and then the fingerlings are released into the local trout pond where local anglers have the pleasure of catching and releasing them.
BULL RIDING Continued from Page 5 yeas as a pro, Snyder has come into his own as one of the top circuit bull riders. This year alone he has made $38,000 ($89,836 in 2020 dollars). Lowry, 29 and a sevenyear professional, is no slouch either. He has pocketed $28,000 ($66,195 in 2020 dollars) this season. “This year we’ve both set our goals on making the national finals,� says Snyder, referring to the ultimate in rodeo competitions, held in Oklahoma City each December. The top 15 riders qualify for the event which is televised across North America and offers huge amounts of prize money. “It’s like the Super Bowl or World Series of rodeo,� says Lowry. “This year, we’ll both be there.� Despite their optimism, success hasn’t come easy or without sacrifices for Lowry and Snyder. Snyder of Medicine Hat quit school
in Grade 11 while Lowry of Valleyview, Alta. toiled several years as a pro before making any big money. “It was either go to school and stay amateur or get my pro card and go to work,� says Snyder, who hasn’t looked back since. Both men grew up on ranches around relatives and friends who made the rodeo their lives. It has definitely influenced them. “From the first time I ever saw a rodeo, that’s all I’ve ever wanted to do,� says Snyder. Part of making big money on the pro circuit is travelling thousands of miles from rodeo to rodeo. Snyder, Lowry and a collection of other cowboys travel together, often as many as 10 of them squeezing into one van. They compete in rodeos all the way from Texas to Yorkton, trying to hit the biggest ones and those which offer the

most prize money. Deciding which rodeos to attend isn’t always easy, as there are more than 700 sanctioned events in North America
each year. Top Canadian rodeos offer up to $1,500 in prize money ($3,500 in 2020 dollars) for bull riding while some of the bigger U.S.
competitions feature as much as $4,000 ($9,500 in 2020 dollars) per event. One of the drawbacks of the rodeo circuit is that it goes virtually yearround. Snyder and Lowry don’t, as a rule, get much of a holiday. Bull riders risk injury every day as their event is considered by some to be the most dangerous in the rodeo. Lowry and Snyder don’t consider it hazardous work, however. When asked if he’s ever been seriously hurt, Snyder almost forgets to mention that last year he was stepped on by a bull, resulting in two broken limbs and a punctured lung. “You’re going to get hurt no matter what event you’re in,� explains Lowry. So why would anyone want to get up on a mean, ornery bull only to be thrown off eventually? “It was the only event I was good at and I enjoyed
it more than the rest,� says Lowry. Bulls used for competition are bred to buck. They are raised to be mean and, in most cases, they don’t disappoint. The only way to learn how to ride these animals is to get up on them time and time again. Technique is mastered the hard way. “You’ve got to really want to do it,� says Lowry. “Generally, it’s a younger man’s sport, for guys between 22 and 30,� says Snyder, eyeing his older partner with a grin. “There are some exceptions though,� he quickly adds. Although both riders hail from Alberta, they speak more like Texans, the drawl coming as part of the trade. “I don’t even notice it,� says Snyder. “That’s all we’ve been is across the line (border) for the past six months.�

Welcome home! Burrowing Owls have returned to raise a family! It is that time of year again when the endangered Burrowing Owl returns to the Prairies after a long migration from its wintering grounds in Texas and Mexico. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no time to rest. After migration, the owls are busy! They are starting the mating process, finding a home, and laying and incubating their eggs. Burrowing Owls are identifiable by their small size, approximately 9 inches tall, similar to the size of a robin, and their light and dark brown mottled plumage with white spots. They appear as though they are walking on stilts, due to their long featherless legs. They have a round head, with large yellow eyes, and white â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;eyebrowsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Unlike some other owl species, they are very active during the day; especially in the spring when gathering food for their young. During
the nesting season, male Burrowing Owls can often be seen next to their burrows or on nearby fence posts while the female incubates the eggs down in the burrow. Nesting is not always easy or successful. Burrowing Owls have many predators including hawks, foxes and even house cats, and finding a suitable nesting spot can be challenging. According to Nature Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Operation Burrowing Owl Coordinator, Kaytlyn Burrows, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burrowing Owls love open areas of short grasslands with vacant burrows for nesting. Since they cannot dig their own burrows, Burrowing Owls rely on badgers and Richardsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ground Squirrels, a.k.a. gophers, to do the dirty work for them. The owls also coexist with cattle very well and benefit from grazing, which keeps the grass short
Surface Area Approx. 8 sq. km.
enough for the owls to spot their predators.â&#x20AC;? If you discover Burrowing Owls on your land, congratulations! There are many advantages to having these owls on your land, especially the free pest control. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burrowing Owls eat huge numbers of insects, mice, voles, and grasshoppers,â&#x20AC;? says Burrows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One nest of Burrowing Owls can consume over 1,000 or more rodents in a single season!â&#x20AC;? Nature Saskatchewan runs the voluntary stewardship program Operation Burrowing Owl, and is currently working with just over 350 landowners and managers to protect and enhance Burrowing Owl habitat and monitor Burrowing Owl population numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nature Saskatchewan is very fortunate to have so many passionate landowners participating in the
Maximum Depth 15 metres (49 feet)
program and keeping a lookout for Burrowing Owls,â&#x20AC;? says Burrows. Operation Burrowing Owl records sightings to help determine the population trend and distribution of the Burrowing Owl throughout Saskatchewan. The information can then be used towards efforts to conserve and restore the habitat and population of these charismatic birds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without the voluntary efforts of landowners, land managers, and the general public, recovery of this unique prairie owl would not be possibleâ&#x20AC;? says Burrows. She also encourages the public to report any sighting of a Burrowing Owl by calling Nature Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toll-free line, 1-800-667HOOT (4668). â&#x20AC;&#x153;As residents of Saskatchewan, we can all work together to help this amazing species survive and thrive.â&#x20AC;?

Pasqua Lake is one of the Quâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Appelle Valley Lakes known as the Fishing Lakes, or Calling Lakes. The ďŹ shing in these lakes, as named, can be excellent. All four of these lakes (Pasqua, Echo, Lebret, and Katepwa) are connected by the Quâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;appelle River system, which in itself provides stellar ďŹ shing. There are dozens of places where shore ďŹ shing is a great option. Also, the river supports a thriving population of channel catďŹ sh, which are highly unusual in

Saskatchewan. Pasqua Lake, like the other Calling Lakes, is known for its walleye, pike and perch, and the open water ďŹ shing is terriďŹ c. Once the water freezes, though, the lakes get really busy. Ice ďŹ shing on the Calling Lakes can be spectacular. Anglers can try ďŹ shing the rock slide on the north side of the lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west end, the ďŹ&#x201A;ats in the same area or Indian Point. For targeting walleye, they note that blades with crawlers, rigs and leeches, or jigs and
leeches can all bring in the ďŹ sh. Pasqua Lake, as well as the other Fishing Lakes, may be a good place to practice your ďŹ&#x201A;y ďŹ shing. Cloudy days are best, and early-season patterns such as leeches are good options. Wind is great for walleye, because it hides them from their predators and disorients their prey. BaitďŹ sh, leeches, and larger insects are excellent food sources for walleye, and they will chase down their prey rather than wait for it.

Searching for invasive mussels.
Invasive mussels intercepted at U.S. border Ross Fisher, Executive Director of the Health Foundation, receives a donation from Matt Matcyk, Churchbridge Lions President.
Churchbridge Lions support health project The Health Foundation has announced that the Churchbridge Lions have made a $500 donation to assist the purchase of lab equipment for the Yorkton Regional Hospital. Churchbridge Lions President Matt Matcyk, presented the cheque to Ross Fisher, Executive Director of The Health Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not able to hold fundraising events this year but we still have a few funds in the bank from activities in previous years,â&#x20AC;? said Matcyk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Lions
Club feels it is important to continue to support our local healthcare if we can and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we are making this donation,â&#x20AC;? he continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very pleased to receive this donation,â&#x20AC;? said Ross Fisher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know this will be a difficult year for most community organizations to raise money, ourselves included, so we are grateful to have other community organizations continue to support our work in this difficult time.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Submitted
The Ministry of Environment, working with Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), prevented invasive mussels from hitching a ride from the U.S. into Saskatchewan at the end of March, marking the first discovery of aquatic invasive species (AIS) at a boat inspection in the province this year. CBSA officers at the port of Regway identified a boat owned by Canadian travellers as high-risk, and notified the ministry. Because the travellers were required to self-isolate upon their return to the country, the watercraft was sealed, to be inspected at a later date. During the scheduled inspection last week, conservation officers found invasive mussels inside one of the boatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storage compart-
ments. The ministryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fisheries staff decontaminated the watercraft to ensure that it no longer poses a threat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This discovery really highlights the level of co-ordination it takes to ensure that Saskatchewan waters are protected from aquatic invasive species,â&#x20AC;? Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saskatchewan works closely with partners from other jurisdictions, including the CBSA, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always gratifying when our co-operation is able to achieve a positive result like this one.â&#x20AC;? The ministry believes it is likely the mussels were picked up by the anchor, and reminds boaters to carefully inspect accessories such as anchors, ropes, buoys
and the compartments where they are stored while completing Clean, Drain and Dry protocols on their watercraft. In Saskatchewan, it is unlawful to transport invasive mussels or other prohibited species, dead or alive. AIS are plant, animal and invertebrate species that threaten our waterways and can damage aquatic habitat, fisheries, valuable recreational resources and important power generation, irrigation and municipal water infrastructure. AIS can be impossible to eliminate once established in a waterbody, and can cost millions of dollars annually to manage. To report aquatic invasive species, call the 24-hour SASKTIP line at 1-800-667-7561.

Large helium purification plant for Sask.
Saskatchewan will soon be home to the largest helium purification operation in Canada. The new facility will be constructed by North American Helium Inc. (NAH) near Battle Creek, Saskatchewan. It is expected to be in-service by July, 2021, with construction starting in October, 2020. “Helium production in Saskatchewan is set to take off,” Energy and Resources Minister Bronwyn Eyre said. “The building of this purification facility by North American Helium will enable the province to scale helium production and important export capacity. In Saskatchewan’s Plan for Growth, we committed to developing this industry and have implemented strong policies to support new investment just like this.” “We are fortunate to be operating in a jurisdiction with a supportive regulatory struc-
ture, favorable geology for helium production and a skilled workforce,” North American Helium’s Chairman and CEO Nicholas Snyder said. “The government has shown a commitment to the development of this industry in Saskatchewan, which will contribute new production needed to replace depleting natural-gaslinked helium sources in North America. Our Battle Creek project demonstrates that reliable long-term production of helium can be created from non-hydrocarbon sources, which means a smaller environmental footprint while still benefiting from the expertise developed in Saskatchewan’s oil service industry.” “This project will bring new jobs and economic growth to the southwest region, a part of Saskatchewan that prides itself on resource development and economic growth,”
Cypress Hills MLA and Legislative Secretary for Energy and Resources Doug Steele said. “The construction of this plant in the Battle Creek area signals the worldclass investment climate Saskatchewan offers and we acknowledge North American Helium for
Gosselin presents a bike/walking path plan to Churchbridge council By Gary Horseman - Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Four-Town Journal) On Tuesday evening the Churchbridge Town Council held its regularly scheduled council meeting. The meeting started with a presentation by Rob Gosselin about the walking/bike path initiative, with 114 followers on Facebook Mr. Gosselin feels the town should go ahead and start planning and working on this project for the betterment of the Town of Churchbridge. Mr. Gosselin presented the council with suggested paths based around the Churchbridge Campground, feeling this is the best way to utilize the campground and enjoy nature as you walk or bike. The council had a lengthy discussion with Mr. Gosselin about his ideas and possible implementation. The council continued the meeting with the review and acceptance of the agenda and the minutes of the previous meeting. Carrying on, the council heard the reports starting with Councilor Saltys who talked about a few commissioner reports and what tickets and warnings were issued. Councilor Thies discussed drainage at the east end of town. Mayor Gallant reported the fire department happenings, reporting of a couple of fires and birthday drive-
bys. The administrator gave her report starting with advising the council of the updates to the town’s projects. The town was audited May 18, 2020 with no word being heard back yet. There also were two water main breaks and it was discussed about opening the campground bathrooms. There will be no need for volunteers as all campsites must be pre-booked. Moving on, the council discussed old business starting with campground fees and seasonal rates which will be prorated. Regarding the idea of renting out town-owned lots for gardening, 21 residents said they would like to have this and over 40 said no in a recent Facebook poll held by the town of Churchbridge. The council has decided to till an area to see if it is possible to house a “community garden”. When it comes to reopening services the council was asked if they were interested in reopening the town office and discussed what type of plexiglass protection to get for the office. Civic adressessing was discussed as it is a bit of an issue and is a bylaw. Lots owned by the town do not require address signage. There have been three tax abatement requests by some residents, a motion was made and carried. There was a request for a “microbrewery”, a motion was made to allow
the distillery to build in a commercial area. The council reviewed the town accounts, the April financial statement and bank reconciliation before making a motion and accepting the town’s accounts as reviewed. Moving onto new business, the council discussed the landfill decommissioning. The town administrator put together several proposals for this loan. Carrying on, the council discusses the street sweeping tenders. After looking at their sheets, the council made a motion to accost the “top one listed”. The library cleaning contract was extended for another year. The lift station tender was discussed with the council looking at their papers and making a motion to accept one. The sidewalk tender was discussed while the council reviewed the papers they had in front of them of the two tenders received. Council Melnyk made a motion to accept the Legacy tender on this which was carried. Before moving incamera the council discussed Operation of Vehicles and Parking By-Law -2019-04 which was updated. The council moved in-camera to discuss several things listed such as the poll boiler, OSS bin removal, staffing contracts, by-law enforcement, trailer court concerns and the Shop Local corner.
their significant work in the region.” Recent regulatory amendments introduced an expanded Provincial Sales Tax exemption for exploratory and downhole drilling activity, which includes drilling for helium. Saskatchewan has a stable and highly competitive 4.25 per cent royalty rate for helium. In addition, the NAH helium project has been conditionally approved by the Ministry of Energy and Resources for the Oil and Gas Processing Investment Incentive, which provides new or expanded helium processing and liquefaction
facilities with a 15 per cent transferrable royalty credit based on capital expenditures. The North American Helium project has also been approved through the environmental assessment process. Canada has the fifth-largest helium resources in the world, with significant underground reserves in Saskatchewan. Global demand for helium is increasing, as a global supply shortage has resulted in helium prices rising more than 160 per cent since 2017. Over the last five years, just under 20 wells have been drilled in Saskatchewan
(the vast majority of which were in southwest Saskatchewan), specifically targeting helium. The Saskatchewan Geological Survey continues to analyze around 88,000 oil and gas wells across the southern half of the province to determine how many have a helium occurrence of greater than one per cent, which is a good indicator of viability. Helium is used in various applications, including medical research and diagnostic testing, digital technologies, semiconductors, fibre optics, nuclear power facilities, rocket systems, welding and balloons.

The End of an Era for Triangle Hockey League By Travis Longman When hockey returns there will be one less league in Saskatchewan. The Triangle Hockey League (THL) announced in May that it will be dissolving. The announcement comes after the league championship series was cancelled between the Bredenbury Cougars and the Ochapowace Thunder back in March. Officials said the series had to be scrapped because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history goes back more than 50 years, using hockey to connect the distance between small towns. In addition to Bredenbury and Ochapowace, Hudson Bay, Theodore and Esterhazy had teams in the league this past season. Other communities like Langenburg, Moosomin, Rocanville, Kipling, Windthorst,
Kennedy, Whitewood, Fillmore, Indian Head, Midale, Fairlight and Spy Hill were just a few of the towns to have teams in the THL at some point in the now defunct league. The league was special to many people, including Lyle Balogh. Although he got his start in the league playing with the Kipling Royals, he went on to build a THL team from the ground level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tim Daku, Earl Smyth and I decided to start a Senior team in Kennedy. So I purchased all the equipment from the defunct Junior â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bâ&#x20AC;? Pipestone Beavers. We had to play our first year in the Wawota Arena because the rink in Kennedy wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completed yet,â&#x20AC;?said Balogh, who was a player in the league until he was 41. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played in Kennedy and was captain, assistant captain and playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rep on the Board.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;After I retired from Coaching in Kennedy I was approached to Coach The Moosomin Rangers. We won the Triangle League several times.â&#x20AC;? Says Balogh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The THL meant a great deal to the communities involved as it was a super draw for fans that supported their teams and local rinks.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a great past time for families to follow their teams wherever they traveled in the League. Losing the THL will be a big loss to the communities, fans and their rinks.â&#x20AC;? Retired NHL player Jeff Odgers hails from Spy Hill, SK. He made numerous stops in his professional career with San Jose, Boston, Colorado and Atlanta from 1991 2003. But he came back to Saskatchewan to finish off his playing career in the THL. Odgers says he always wanted to finish his playing days the way they started, on the rink with his buddies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of my memories are probably a lot of things that happen after

was play for the Spy Hill Hilltops. That was my main goal, to play senior hockey. To me those guys were like NHL players and I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little bit different now but senior hockey is a huge part in developing minor hockey.â&#x20AC;? Rocanvile won the last three THL championships despite taking the 2019-2020 season off. There was a time when Rocanvile used to do battle with their highway eight rivals from Moosomin in the THL. Despite Moosomin leaving the league several years ago, former Rangers player Jeff Cole still has strong memories of the THL. He says senior hockey in general is facing challenges, not just the THL. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All leagues are struggling and logistically getting further and further distances away with less fans and local support. The cost to operate teams is costly for all teams,â&#x20AC;? says Cole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The key for league sustainability is to have a league that is great for
travelling, has community support as well as a product on the ice that is committed and offers a â&#x20AC;Ś product that fans will come to watch and enjoy and have some fun. In my opinion you need local players in the lineup as well if the talent is at home.â&#x20AC;? Cole says the THL was an important part of small-town economies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I recall a playoff series between Moosomin and Wawota, and the fan support was over the top with 1435 fans,â&#x20AC;? says Cole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even the fans would come to the Squire after games and the bar was standing room only.â&#x20AC;? Hockey is a staple in small town Saskatchewan and the best part of the long cold winter is being at the local rink watching your town battle against a rival town. For the likes of Odgers, Cole and Balogh, they have put their blood, sweat, tears and, and even a few beers into the THL. But unfortunately like all good things, the league has came to an end.

In Rocanville we always had such a tight group of guys, we did a lot of things together,â&#x20AC;? said Odgers, who finished his playing days with the Rocanville Tigers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing for the Tigers is pretty special and we had a lot of guys who were great teammates. We hung out off the ice. So obviously the championships. But probably the friendships and relationships off the ice with all the guys is just as special.â&#x20AC;? Odgers also underlines how important senior hockey is to smalltown Saskatchewan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to keep that rink going, you gotta have something for those kids to do,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Minor hockey, you have to have that. Senior hockey is important to generate revenue and keep your doors open. Also itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something for those kids to watch (and) something to shoot for. I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not quite as big of deal from when I played but you know when I was a kid all I really wanted to do

as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cycloneâ&#x20AC;?, prompted the naming of the local baseball team the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cyclones.â&#x20AC;? Over the years that team name was used in every category from Pee Wee up to all local young men and to all or partial American imports. The late 1940â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to the mid 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were the golden years of baseball in North Eastern Saskatchewan, and in particular, Kamsack. Baseball fever was rampant throughout the Canadian Prairies during this time. The Kamsack Times of October 28, 1948, stated that local baseball executives expressed a desire to import a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blackâ&#x20AC;? American coach who would coach all levels of baseball in the community. The Town got what they asked for and soon Jesse Bradley had things humming in the railway town. In 1949 a new baseball diamond opened on Madge Lake, in Duck Mountain Provincial Park, some 15 miles east of Kamsack. Sunday double headers soon became very popular during the summer months. In fact, Roy Taylor and his college boy imports were housed in cottages at the lake. American import Dave Whatley joined the Cyclones in 1949, followed by Travis Taylor in 1950. Roy Taylor from the College of Sequoias Physical Education and Athletic staff in Visalia, California, came as playing coach of the Cyclones in 1952. Roy also brought
with him, Len Tucker from the St. Louis Cardinal farm team and several players from Taylors school. Taylor coached the Saskatoon 55â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in 1951, and Kamsack in 1952. 1953 and 1954. Then in 1955 and 1956, he coached the Moose Jaw Mallards and in 1958 and 1959, the Saskatoon Commodores. The Kamsack Times reported the Kamsack Cyclones as having the most successful season ever, in 1952, having played with skill, sportsmanship and a distinctive air both on and off the field with much of the credit going to Roy Taylor. During these years, the Cyclones played league, tournament and exhibition baseball. In 1953, they won the ManSask League Championship with a record of 35 wins out of 41 games. In 1954 they won 40 of 46 tournament and exhibition games, including the prestigious Indian Head Tournament, home of the Indian Head Rockets! Exhibition games on
the prairies included the touring Muskogee Cardinals, the San Francisco Sea Lions, the Ligon All Stars, California Mohawks and Nashville Stars, with most of them finding their way to Kamsack. One of the feature acts with the Sea Lions was Little Sammy Workman, who without hands or feet could hit, pitch and catch a ball. Taylor frequently took Saskatchewan players back with him to the College in the off season. Bob Holowaty of Melfort and Dave Kostenuik of Hyas, both exceptional pitchers, are two examples of members of the Cyclones who made the trek south. Holowaty, now in Saskatoon, was inducted into the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003. Cyclone baseball memorabilia and history is on display in Kamsack and will still be a topic of conversation if you encounter someone who was there when the Kamsack Cyclones were the talk of the town.
