What makes a champion? The Champion Child program sees kids becomes champions overcoming medical problems while advocating for improving healthcare for kids across the country. The 2020 Champion Child, 13-year old Torrie Schaffer from Balcarres, is using her time as a champion to help people learn a bit more about her rare blood dis ease. She was at the Yorkton Wal Mart location to talk about what being a Champion means to her. The program will see her become an ambassador for the Children’s Miracle Network and the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation.
When she was nine, Schaffer noticed some strange things happening. She had small dots on her body that they thought was a rash. She was bruising easily, and they didn’t know why, even the most gentle touch would cause a bruise. She was admitted to the hospital in Regina with a low platelet count, and soon had no platelet count at all.
She was diagnosed with T h r o m b o c y t o p e n i c Purpura (TTP) Autoimmune Blood Disease. Without treat ment, that disease could have been fatal. There is a treatment which could save her life, but it requires special equipment. The Jim Pattison’s Children’s Hospital Foundation had just purchased that equip ment - a Pheresis machine - six months earlier, and Schaffer was the first kid in Saskatchewan to be treated with it.
Schaffer’s treatment is ongoing, and she visits a pediatric hematologist every two to three months at the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital.
Schaffer wants people to know more about the disease, and more about what it means to people like her.
“It is rare, and it’s not out there like cancer and stuff is. You don’t find my disease in a lot of people, especially kids. It’s very

rare in kids, so I feel it’s important to get it out there. I want more people to know about it. They can donate more, and know that there are kids that need stuff in hospital.”
One of the benefits of the Champion program will see Schaffer and the other kids selected travel to Orlando, Fl to meet and talk about their experiences and challenges.
Sash Broda, manager, development and engagement for Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, said that they select the ambassador as someone who has had a great deal of experience with the hospital making a difference for them, as well as the ability to advocate for their own diseases.
“There are so many different cases of different conditions and different diseases that so many people have, that kids have, that a lot of people don’t know about. To be able to shed some light on those, raise awareness in all those different aspects and to show that we can take care of those kids in Saskatchewan as well is really huge.”
Torrie Schaffer, the Champion Child for 2020, cuts the cake at Wal Mart in Yorkton. She will advocate for children’s hospital and her own disease, TTP.

Spirit of Faith - Spirit of Excellence - Spirit of Service - Spirit of Fun A School You Can Believe In
By Brenna Mahoney, Director of Communications and Stakeholder Relations Cereals Canada
I became part of the agriculture industry four years ago. Shortly after, I wrote, “Agriculture: My Journey so far”. It was a reflection on my first six months working in this amazing sector. Despite being new to agriculture I knew I had found where I belonged!
Sometimes I think that we forget that agriculture really is amazing. One of my most memor able experiences was being able to stand in front of a few hundred high school students as a volunteer for Agriculture in the Classroom and tell them how this industry has changed my life and the way I view my own educa tional path. It was through this opportunity that I rec ognized how diverse agriculture is, even the team within Cereals Canada.
The diversity that agriculture attracts is one of its main strengths. Almost on a daily basis I meet people from all over the world that have been attracted to Canadian agriculture. The value chain brings together people of almost every educational and cultural background. Agriculture’s people are its biggest asset.
Diversity goes beyond people. Students contemplating their career pathway should come to agriculture. One in eight people work in agriculture and no matter your passion there will be a connection back to the industry. Every day there is something new to learn, talk about, or problem to solve.
Navigating diversity of issues is not always easy but is extremely rewarding. It should always be seen as an opportunity, never a challenge that cannot be overcome.
The issue of public trust is one example where agriculture’s diversity can be used as a strength. We are privileged to have a window into every part of this industry, from farm gate to plate. But consumers do not have this window. Consumers should be viewed as a part of our industry; they participate in it by buying our commodities and making them into meals to which for their families. Canadian agriculture has the diversity to speak to consumers no matter their background and help them answer the question “where does my food come from”. But to do that we need to work together and collaborate.
Collaboration means that we recognize how each person, organization, or segment of the value chain may experience things differently. If we are going to be able to respond to changing consumer needs around the world, we must use these different experiences and work together instead of the natural silos that emerge from our province, background or the part of the industry in which we operate.
I am likely a bit biased about the benefits of collaboration as my job is completely dependent on successfully building partnerships. This includes working directly with the Cereals Canada membership, but also outside organizations. Collaboration has shown me how much each one of us has in common. Organizations and people who think they are different usually find that goals are usually similar.
Collaboration is must more effective than individual efforts. Once we get down to specific projects it is always better if the message comes from not just one but many voices.
Farmers contribute to national organizations through their checkoffs. They are seeing the benefits of collaborative efforts among commodity groups to in joint projects like the Keep it Clean! campaign or the annual new crop missions. Both of these collaborative efforts have continued to become bigger and better each year in part to the cooperation between the national and provincial commodity organizations.
Another example of effective collaboration is the creation of a national wheat campaign designed to emphasize the nutritional benefits of products made from Canadian wheat and to counter some of the “wheat myths” growing on the internet. As a wheat value chain, we are seeing a positive impact of working together to develop messaging as well as fund research projects regarding wheat and its health benefits. Even though this project is still in its early stages, we are already seeing the advantages of working together. An immediate benefit has been the interest we have been getting from international customers. Some of Canada’s top importers of wheat are asking for the science-based messages around wheat’s nutritional value that we have developed and information on how to celebrate and promote wheat.
Agriculture is now a big part of who I am. I often get told I must have drunk the Kool-Aid, to which I proudly reply, it was actually some delicious beer made with Canadian barley. We should be proud of our industry not just because we are feeding people, but also because we are attracting a level of diversity which I feel stands out amongst other industries. We are also fostering collaboration and most importantly we continue to engage individuals to whom are already working in it. Each day I get to come to work and face the day, a day with endless possibilities, filled with new opportunities and challenges to which I know I will overcome. I am indeed grateful to be doing it and looking forward to what comes next.

Write to: Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Box 5054 • REGINA, SK S4P 3M3 Coldest Night aims to tackle homelessness By Devin Wilger Staff Writer
For many people in Yorkton, the cold of winter comes with it’s own set of problems. Will the car start in the morning? Will the furnace hold out all night? Just how many layers should we put on before leaving the house? But there are people who wish they could have those problems, and just finding a place to stay warm is a struggle. The Coldest Night of the Year event, which supports Yorkton Transitional Homes for Youth, aims to shine a light on the homelessness problem and raise money to help.
The plans for this year’s event are the same as they were in 2019, explained Glenda Gascho, one of the event organizers. People will meet at St. Paul’s Church on Smith Street on Feb. 22. Three routes will be available, depending on how far people want to walk, whether they want to go 2 km, 5 km or 10 km. Registration begins at 4:00 p.m., and the walk will begin at 5:00 p.m. Food will be served after the walk, and walkers will receive a Coldest Night of the Year toque.
This year, the funds will be going to support the YTHY’s outreach program, which operates out of their rooming house in he city.
“What we’re finding is that demand is higher than what we can provide. So, this year we’re looking to enhance that portion of the program to ensure that we have more to give away.”
One of the things on offer through the outreach program is transportation. She notes that there are many youth in the program who work in retail stores until late, for example, and there’s a gap in transportation as the bus service doesn’t run late at night.
“The transportation piece is definitely a big one because they can’t afford vehicles.”
Homelessness is a hidden problem in Yorkton, Gascho explained. Many homeless people in Yorkton are effectively couch surfing, going from the homes of friends and acquaintances.
“It’s constantly moving around but not having a solid place to be.”
There are also gaps in Yorkton, as there is not currently a place for men to go if they find themselves homeless. Gascho said that one of their goals is to focus on in the future, as it is a gap in the city, and raise awareness of what the problem actually looks like in Yorkton.
“Because it’s not as visible as it is in a big city people don’t think it’s actually a problem here but the reality is when you look at the statistics that we keep as part of our funding there’s a lot of individuals who are definitely in that category of jumping from one place to another, can’t seem to find that one location that they can afford and make some progress.”
One of the new things this year is the Coldest Day of the Year event that schools can take a part in. In previous years, the event took place after February break, so it was difficult for schools to take part. The Coldest Day event gives schools the flexibility to pick the day they can hold an event. Schools can sign up at www.cdoy.org, and at press time Parkland College is a school listed in Yorkton.
“It really gets the youth involved so they can understand what it’s all about,” said Gascho.
Right now, they’re looking for teams and walkers. Everyone who wants to sign up is invited to go to www.cnoy.org to register, whether as a walker, part of a team, or start their own team. Registration is $25, but the fee is waived if they raise enough money – $75 for youth or and $150 for adults. They are also looking for sponsors. Businesses can put their names on signs through the route for $250. They are also looking for volunteers, including a volunteer photographer to take photos along the route.

A local contractor has managed to find a “generous solution” to a problem, which has resulted in putting a smile on the faces of local youngsters and others who have benefitted from his gesture. Philip Gemme, of Gem Electrical Solutions of Kamsack, had come into possession of a large number of unpainted ceramic pieces several years ago, and decided now was the time to part with the entire collection. “A few years ago, my son, his new wife, I and a friend took a trip back to my home town of Timmins Ontario, to introduce to my parents their new granddaughter-in-law,” he said. “While we were there, my father showed us all the ceramics that he had purchased at a garage sale. When asked if he would spare a few pieces for us to take back home to Saskatchewan, he readily agreed, on the condition that we take it all.” Gemme was hauling a trailer to pick up a motorbike, and the boxes of ceramics fit in as well, so the group brought all of it to Kamsack. Once here, the ceramic pieces were unpacked, photographed, catalogued and repacked, for use and possible resale of extra pieces in a yard/garage sale.
“Last spring Allen Bennett graciously allowed us to use the basement of the old Elk’s Lodge, what is now the Sugar Shack (home to Allen’s maple syrup venture), to display all of the ceramics,” Gemme said.
“There did not seem to be much interest from people in purchasing unfinished ceramics, but the children that came in with their parents really wanted some and since I had quite a bit I just gave pieces to the children. “Allen now has plans for the building and needed the space which the ceramics occupied, so I had to find a solution,” he continued. “After hauling these items 2,000 miles, and after all the work to catalogue and set up for the sale, I did not relish the thought of handling them again. This is where the idea to just

donate all of them came about. I decided that after seeing the smiles on the children’s faces that they should be the recipients.”
Gemme posted an ad on Kijiji, and contacted numerous schools in the surrounding areas to let them know about his desire to donate the ceramics for use by local children.
“I did receive some responses but not nearly enough so I posted an ad on Facebook and it just exploded,” he said. “There were suggestions made that maybe others could benefit as well, such as seniors and other organisations.
They became included in the groups, but also parents could bring their children by to pick out what they would like. It did not take long before most of the items made their way out the door to new homes.
“I received a lot of compliments for doing this but the heroes here are all of the teachers and group volunteers who gave of their time to come out and pick through the numerous items to get what they would like, and that was fun. Then the work began, with packing up, hauling, unpacking and distributing amongst their respective groups.
“To all of you who came out, I extend a big thank you for turning what would have been an arduous task into a most pleasant experience,” he mused. “It would be really nice to see some of the artists with their completed pieces. If people would like, they can post these photos to my business page, Gem Electrical Solutions, on Facebook,” he concluded.
Vape Act took effect February 1
In order to better protect Saskatchewan youth from risks associated with vaping, The Tobacco and Vapour Products Control Act took effect February 1, 2020.
“I’m excited to have this legislation in place,” Minister of Health Jim Reiter said. “This legislation will protect Saskatchewan youth from the harmful effects of vapour products. If you never smoked, then don’t vape.”
“Vapour products are highly addictive, trendy and extremely popular among teens and young adults,” Vice President of Community Engagement at the Lung Association of Saskatchewan Jennifer May said. “The Lung Association and its Youth4Change groups congratulate the government on the implementation of The Tobacco and Vapour Products Control Act. This is a great day for lung health as there has been a dramatic rise in youth vaping over the past few years and this will help protect the health of Saskatchewan kids.”
The new legislation is similar to measures found in other provinces and territories in Canada with vaping legislation in place. To address vapour products, The Tobacco and Vapour Products Control Act contains provisions that:
*restrict the sale of vapour/e-cigarette devices and products to individuals 18 years of age and older;
*prohibit the display of vapour/e-cigarette products in a retail business where young persons have access;
*restrict the use of vapour/e-cigarette products in and around public buildings, including schools and school grounds, in the same manner as our provincial tobacco legislation;
*prohibit the sale of vapour/e-cigarette prod

Show the wild birds some love by taking part in the 23rd Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC). This year’s count begins on Valentine’s Day, Friday, February 14, and continues through Monday, February 17. Volunteers from around the world count the birds they see for at least 15 minutes on one or more days of the count, and then enter their checklists at birdcount.org.
There is no better time to get involved because we are facing a bird emergency. In a study published by the journal Science last fall, scientists revealed a decline of more than one in four birds in the United States and Canada since 1970— 3 billion birds gone. In addition to these steep declines, Audubon scientists projected a grim future for birds in Survival By Degrees, a report showing nearly twothirds of North America’s bird species could disappear due to climate change. Birds from around the world are facing similar challenges and declines. Counting birds for science is one simple action that individuals can take to protect birds and the places where they live.
“In order to understand where birds are and how their numbers are changing, we need everybody’s help,” says the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s Marshall Iliff, a leader of the eBird program which collects the GBBC data. “Without this information, scientists will not have enough data to show where birds are declining.”
With more than 10,000 species in the world, it means all hands on deck to monitor birds found in backyards and neighborhoods as well as in suburban parks, wild areas, and cities.
“Birds are important because they’re excellent indicators of the health of our ecosystems. Participating in the Great Backyard Bird Count is one of the easiest and best ways to help scientists understand how our changing climate may be affecting the world’s birdlife,” says Chad Wilsey, interim Chief Scientist for National Audubon Society. “All over the world people are paying more attention to our environment and how it’s changing. There’s a lot of bad news out there, but in just 15 minutes you can be part of a global solution to the crises birds and people are facing.”
During the 2019 GBBC, bird watchers from more than 100 countries submitted more than 210,000 bird checklists reporting a record 6,850 species–more than half the known bird species in the world. Bird count data become more and more valuable over time because they highlight trends over many years, apart from the normal short-term fluctuations in bird populations.
“At times, we can feel like there’s little we can do on environmental issues,” says Steven Price, president of Birds Canada. “The Great Backyard Bird Count gives all bird enthusiasts a chance to help, as well as a great opportunity to include family and friends of all skill levels in a common conservation effort. Go out, have fun, and take heart that you are helping birds and nature!”
To learn more about how to take part in the Great Backyard Bird Count, visit birdcount.org
The Great Backyard Bird Count is a joint project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society with partner Birds Canada and is made possible in part by founding sponsor Wild Birds Unlimited.

A local family is in the news recently. Normally, such a thing is an exciting matter, instilling a sense of civic pride. But the rea son for their new found celebrity has left this local family, and all of us, feel ing vulnerable.
Local livestock farmers, Andrew and Laurie Johnson, of Johnson Livestock in Peebles, have recently become the victims of identity fraud. The Johnsons first real ized something was amis when a cell phone associ ated with their business stopped working. They were then informed that their SaskTel number in question, had been trans ferred to another carrier, Telus. A request they never made.
That issue was eventually cleared up, and the curious problem seemed to be resolved. Days later, large sums of money began disappearing from their farm’s operating account and even, their line of credit.
Now, it is unclear whether they are financially protected against the losses, if the banks can track the money, or even, how this all occurred in the first place.
The matter has been reported to both the RCMP and The Canadian
Anti-Fraud Centre, and is under active investigation. It is suspected that their financial information was accessed when their phone number was ported to another carrier. Porting is the term used to describe the act of moving a telephone number from one carrier to another. Land lines, cell phones, and even fax numbers can all be ported.
It is currently up to consumers to protect their number, a process most are unaware of. Anyone wishing to protect their number is encouraged to set up the port validation feature by dialing 611 on your mobile phone, or by calling your service provider. Once this feature is activated, you may choose a code, up to 15 digits long, which will be required before the number can be ported.
To further reduce the risk of falling victim to identity fraud, it is suggested that people regularly check credit card statements, check credit reports at least annually, create and use complicated passwords, and do not click on unfamiliar links. Citizens are encouraged to report suspected fraud to the Canadian AntiFraud Centre, you can call, toll free: 1-888-495-8501 or go to their website www. antifraudcentre.ca
However, quoting from

that same website, they are “currently experiencing intermittent disruptions with the toll-free telephone line that may cause your call to be disconnected”. And in a bizarrely ironic twist, illustrating the severity of the problem, their website also states that their own toll free number is being used by scammers to mask their own number. Yes, you read that correctly, the government agency specifically in place to combat fraud is themselves, the victim of an on-going fraud.
As for the Johnsons, they are just eager to get this whole thing cleared up, so they can put it behind them, and to get back to their normal lives.
