Natural Reflexions Market “naturally” expands with first greenhouse Courtesy of Kamsack Times

By Jan Derwories A Farmer’s Market which had been established along Hwy No. 57 on the way to Duck Mountain Provincial Park several years ago has expanded to the next level.

Natural Reflexions Market, owned and operated by Wendy Becenko on an acreage 12 kilometres east of Kamsack, has been “getting big,” according to Becenko, and she knew expansion was the only answer to be able to deliver more produce, faster.

Enter Karen Pfeifer of the now shuttered Grandma B’s Greenhouse near Runnymede.

“Karen has 21 years of knowledge about the greenhouse business, and she offered me the opportunity to learn how to set up my own greenhouse,” Becenko said.

“With her guidance I was encouraged to undertake the expansion at the market to include my first greenhouse.”

The structure was erected last fall, planting “starts” were ordered in the winter, and they arrived on March 15.

“Everything is growing so amazingly in the greenhouse,” Becenko enthused. Her husband, Glen, is in charge of heat and water, Wendy does all the seeding and transplanting, and their

Please check the Facebook page or website for more information. daughter Makayla does the “onion clipping,” while helping and learning. “She’s being homeschooled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but she is a big help in the greenhouse.

“Karen is my knowledge base and tutor,” Becenko continued. “I feel fortunate to have her expertise to draw on.”

Musing about how Natural Reflexions Market got its start-up a few years ago, Becenko admitted that her favorite place to be was in the garden, connecting with nature. It all started with a small garden, and people came to support it. Then she started baking, and that was a hit with clients. She started to invite other vend-

ors to set up tables at the Market and soon found she had up to 18 vendors and over 300 visitors during the typical Saturday opening.

“We experienced so much growth that we knew we had to expand to keep up with demand,” she said. “We have done it steadily but slowly, trying to showcase a good variety.”

Wendy’s husband, Glen, “loves to barbeque meats,” and his sandwiches are well received.

According to the government regulations and guidelines, the greenhouse is deemed an essential service, but may only operate within the guidelines.

“Our greenhouse is 20 by 60 feet, with 1,200

square feet of space, but we will only be allowed to have one customer enter at a time,” she said.

To keep a good customer flow, Becenko is taking online appointment bookings on her website, naturalreflexions.com. The greenhouse will open for the public on May 1, and will operate from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week.

“So far the response has been very favourable and I foresee things possibly selling out quickly,” she said. “I am already thinking to expand the greenhouse in the future, to continue to serve the customer base in the area.

“Although the greenhouse has been deemed essential service, the

Farmers Market has not, as of April 27,” Becenko said. “I think we will still be subject to the guidelines and groups limits as they are open by the province. This year that means no Farmers Market. We will adjust our ways to provide the foods grown in our area to our customers.”

One way is online orders and the other is offering the subscription program, even though she has installed the COVID aware signs and is using contactless payment options.

Because of market uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, a new idea for this year has Becenko’s Natural Reflexions Market teaming with other producers to provide a new weekly food box subscription program. It will run every week for 10 weeks this summer. The idea is a timely compromise to meet with the challenges presented by the COVID19 pandemic, and still provide delicious, inseason fresh vegetables, salad greens, seasonal fruits, jams and jellies, plus a variety of add-ons which are available. All the ordering information is on the website and Facebook pages.

Becenko says there will be three basic basket sizes available: large, suitable for a family of four to six; half-size, for two to four, and individual for one to two persons. The baskets will either be picked up at the market or home delivery

for a fee.

“We’ve had lots of inquiries and we will strive to meet everyone’s needs with our food basket program,” she said.

“Those interested should watch our Facebook page or sign up for our emails on our website.

Add-ons include breads and baking, Glennie B’s BBQ lunch for two, Glenda Tulloch with fresh-cut flowers, In Good Taste pack and Duck Mountain Coffee Roasting Company with coffee, and more, but all vendor suppliers are subject to change.

“We actually have someone buying a subscription for a needing family. That family will get fresh veggies and fruit all summer grown by local gardeners. How cool is that?” Becenko said.

“The producers of the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) baskets are subject to change,” she continued.

“Next year, God be willing, we all will be back to our full Market, offering handcrafted, locally made, fresh-baked and naturally inspired items,” she concluded.

“We are Duck Mountain’s Country Market experience,” says its website. “Brighten your day with a visit to Natural Reflexions’ Country Markets where you’ll find all things home-grown, locallymade, fresh-baked, handcrafted and naturally inspired. It’s worth the drive!”

Osprey lose Endeavour nest Courtesy of Preeceville Progress Most of the residents in the Village of Endeavour were upset and disappointed when they realized that the Osprey nest located on the cell tower had been destroyed.

A p p a r e n t l y contractors hired by SaskTel had climbed the tower and destroyed the nest sometime during the third week in March, stated Mayor Brad Romanchuk.

When the SaskTel human resources and environment manager was contacted, he indicated there was a complaint of damage caused to the tower by the Osprey nesting activity.

He also stated that the tower was not designated for the extra weight of an Osprey nest. A possible buildup of ice and snow along with a strong wind could compromise the structure. He reported that when service people need to climb the tower, the Osprey dive at them, creating a safety hazard.

He told Romanchuk that towers across North America are experiencing the same type of problems with Osprey. Apparently these nests also tend to start

forest fires in remote areas. Either lightning or a short in the live wires start the nests on fire.

When the SaskTel representative was asked if there was a nest relocation program in place, he stated that he would look into it.

However, he also said that for the most part, relocation was not successful. He was then reminded of the Osprey nest in the hamlet of Lady Lake which was relocated and reported to be a total success.

The nesting Osprey in Endeavour started building its nest late in the 2018 season and finished in early 2019.

The eggs were laid and the two young chicks were visible during the summer of 2019.

“They migrated in the fall and had SaskTel notified the Village of their intentions to remove the nest we would have been able to formulate a plan for the relocation of the nest,” said Romanchuk.

Information acquired from an environmental group indicated what should be considered in the relocation plan is that the Osprey need to be able to see the river and that the nest should be left intact for

the most part. Now, with the destruction of the nest it is unknown if a successful relocation would had been possible.

Some residents said that when the Osprey return this spring they will build on the tower again. This remains to be seen. The idea has been tossed around that a pole with a platform be erected within eyesight of the Ospreys’ return as an alternative site. In these times of COVID 19 pandemic and the doom and gloom atmosphere felt within the Village population, the residents are now looking forward with optimism to the arrival of spring, warmer weather and the return of the Osprey and other migrating birds.

The Osprey is a unique bird that is unmistakable when seen at close range, stated the bird view website.

It is the only species in its family, and it is found worldwide. Its breast and belly are mostly white, with some dark streaks.

The white extends out the wings, but the primaries, secondaries, and tail feathers are mottled black-and-white.

The back is mostly black or dark brown. The head is distinctive with a white crest, the face bisected

Village of Endeavour residents look forward to Osprey returning every spring but this year SaskTel removed the birds’ nest from its tower in Endeavour. by a dark eye-stripe, and yellow eyes. While there is much variation, the female tends to have a streakier breast than the male.

The Osprey’s talons are uniquely adapted for catching and carrying fish: their surfaces are rough, and their toes can be held with three forward and one back, or with two forward and two back, an arrangement seen in owls but not in other diurnal raptors.

In flight, they are most often confused with gulls because of their long wings, which are bent at the wrist. However, Ospreys have a bounce to their flight that gulls lack, concluded the information.

The Osprey nest that had been built on top of the SaskTel tower in Endeavour last year was removed

by SaskTel contractors this spring, much to the disappointment of the Village’s residents.

Provincial medal for Krepakevich

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer A little more than a week ago Gene Krepakevich received an unexpected email.

When he opened it he found out he was one of 12 people across Saskatchewan who would be receiving a 2019 Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal.

“It was nice to receive it – very gratifying,” said Krepakevich, adding “... it was a surprise. It really was.”

Krepakevich said he has volunteered because he felt it was the right thing to do, not for the possibility of a medal one day.

“In my lifetime I did volunteer work because that’s who I am,” he said.

Krepakevich said in growing up in a family of five boys on a farm in the Mikado district things such as being fair and kind were instilled in him, adding his mother told him “don’t forget when you grow up to be generous.”

One way Krepakevich, a former teacher, found to be generous was with his time.

“It’s always been part of my life,” he said. “It was easy to be a volunteer. I did what I could when asked to. You’re doing it for others, not for yourself.”

Krepakevich has two main

It’s always been part of my life. It was easy to be a volunteer. I did what I could when asked to. You’re doing it for others, not for yourself.

— Gene Krepakevich loves as a volunteer, the Yorkton Terriers Junior Hockey Club and the local Co-op.

A long-time Terrier Board member Krepakevich was recognized as Yorkton Sportsman of the Year in 1990, and was inducted into the Yorkton Sports Hall of Fame as a builder in 2003.

In 1980, Krepakevich became a delegate for the Co-op, and in 1994, Krepakevich was elected president of the board, a position he still holds.

Normally the medal would be presented at a banquet in Regina this spring, but because of COVID-19 protocols that has been postponed until the fall.

“They said they’d courier the medal,” said Krepakevich.

Lieutenant Governor Russ Mirasty recently publicly announced the medal recipients.

“The Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal recognizes the extraordinary citizens that support our communities and our province,” Mirasty said in a prepared release.

“This year’s recipients are leaders and mentors in their communities and are truly making a difference. I congratulate the 2019 recipients, who are most worthy, to be counted among those who have received this prestigious provincial honour over the past 25 years.”

2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal, which was established in 1995 to recognize the extraordinary work done by volunteers across the province.

Since its establishment, the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal has been awarded to 217 deserving individuals.

Ronn drafted by WHL Saskatoon Blades

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Western Hockey League held its draft of Bantam-age players last week.

Matthew Ronn, Captain of the AA Bantam Terriers was watching the proceedings online, congratulating players he knew as they were drafted.

Then in the ninth round, 185th overall, it was Ronn’s name that was called. He had been selected by the Saskatoon Blades.

“When I heard my name called it brought me chills,” said Ronn, who played his last season of Bantam with the end to the recent season.

Going to the Blades was a surprise for Ronn, son of Jeff and Jessica Ronn of Ebenezer.

“We talked a bit during the winter, but I wasn’t expecting it,” said Matthew.

Ronn may not have anticipated the Blades calling his name, but he likes the idea of one day playing in Saskatoon where he already has friends, and it’s close enough for his family to attend games regularly.

“It’s close to home. I’m very excited to be part of the team,” he said.

The selection is something Ronn said he

has long desired.

“It’s always been a dream of mine to play in the league. I’ve watched it for years and have always wanted to be on one of the teams,” he said.

Ronn will enter Midget hockey in the fall, but is not sure where he may play.

“It would be nice to stay here and play for the home team (Maulers),” he said, but added he hasn’t signed to go to any particular team yet, choosing to keep options open as he and his family discuss what is best for his future.

Ronn said his father has talked to the Blades about where they might want him to play. He said they just want him with “a good organization” where he can get lots of ice time to develop as a player.

In terms of a player Ronn said he sees himself “as a very offensive defenceman,” with a tendency to think offence at times before taking care of things in his own end.

“And I have a good hockey IQ ... I can create a lot of offence.”

Which means, in terms of development, working on his blueline responsibilities.

“I’ve been working on that, taking care of my own end and then to jump into the play,” he said.

EDITORIAL The dawn of a new day for Saskatchewan

By Jordan Stricker, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Time has passed and Saskatchewan continues to see impressive numbers on the COVID-19 front. With these positive numbers, the province released their new plan to reopen Saskatchewan in the coming weeks and months.

This is exciting. It gives many a glimmer of hope. It will be interesting to see, given we don’t see another outbreak, what life is like when an entire province has been through the same struggle collectively.

Although everyone who has been through

this pandemic in Saskatchewan has dealt with a varying degree of difficulty, being able to look to your neighbour, knowing they were there with you, could be a sobering and comforting feeling.

Mutual understanding on a level this large is hard to fathom when for the most part, as individuals, our journeys are completely different. It is easy to get caught up in our own ways until something shifts the world as we know it overnight.

We separate not only with personal views like who the best CFL team is, but also with politics and whatever else you can imagine. This pan-

demic made people throw everything to the wayside, although opinions are a dime a dozen, and just deal with it.

This province saw the severity of what was headed our way and took it in stride. Collectively, residents did what was necessary and what was promoted by the government.

As chief medical health officer Dr. Saqib Shahab said in a press conference regarding the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan, we aren’t finished with COVID-19 yet. But there are more reasons to be optimistic than pessimistic for the first time in a while.

Moe and company

introduced a fivephase plan to reopen Saskatchewan, which is slated to start on May 4.

Phase one will include previously restricted medical services, and the opening of golf courses, parks and campgrounds.

Medical services previously restricted and boat launches will be reopened on May 4 while golf courses will open May 15. Parks and campgrounds will reopen June 1.

Phase two includes reopening retail businesses and select personal services that include hairdressers, massage therapists and acupuncturists starting May 19.

Phase three, which has a date to be determined, will include services such as gyms and fitness facilities, child care facilities, tattoo artists, estheticians, cosmetologists and other personal service facilities.

The third phase will also start to reopen restaurant and food services at 50 per cent capacity. This phase will also include raising the size of public gatherings from 10 to 15 people.

The fourth phase which also has a to be determined date, includes reopening indoor and outdoor recreation and entertainment facilities along with increasing the size of public and private gatherings to 30 people.

The fifth phase with the date to be determined, includes considering lifting some long-

term restrictions.

With the province’s plan set in place, it will be interesting to see how it pans out. The framework is, as Moe has said previous times, cautious in its approach.

Saskatchewan is the first province to release this sort of plan in the nation and hopefully, we set the proper example.

Hopefully, the opposite doesn’t happen and our government are the ones who jumped too quick and have to deal with a second wave of the virus that has already killed four Saskatchewan residents.

Moe has said after the first few phases are implemented, the province will adjust accordingly depending on if there are anymore outbreaks. He has also said the people of Saskatchewan will have to adjust to a new normal. One we are getting more familiar with every day.

It would be such a badge of honour for the people of Saskatchewan if the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan works. A province built on people who work hard to provide. The people of Saskatchewan do not deserve to be left at home without work, not being able to make ends meet.

Hopefully, this plan gets people back to work and helps the economy patch up the horrible damages it has amassed in such a short time.

There are many things

to still be worried about when it comes to COVID19 in this nation. As a reporter, focusing on the positives and putting a positive light on the plan put forth by the province is important.

In the words of Abraham Lincoln, “I hope to stand firm enough to not go backward, and yet not go forward fast enough to wreck the country’s cause.”

Let’s hope this is a new day for Saskatchewan.

Let’s hope we can look back at the day we reopened the province

Easter Seals recognizes Barry Bradshaw

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer It all began with a wrestler.

Barry Bradshaw, who was just recognized by the Easter Seals National Volunteer Awards for his decades of work with Snowarama, said that it was Whipper Billy Watson, who started promoting Snowaramas in Toronto, and he came west to promote the idea.

“We had a meeting with him, our club, and that’s how the interest started. The next year, I think it was, we did a Snowarama. Our club organized it.”

They didn’t organize it alone, and Bradshaw said it was CB clubs who helped, since this was a pre-cell phone era, and they needed people to

keep talking along the route. Some sponsors, including Yorkton This Week, have also been there from the beginning like Bradshaw.

It’s now 43 years later, and millions has been raised by Snowarama in Yorkton. Bradshaw has been involved since the event began, but started chairing it in 1986. He said there’s been new riders every year, and they’re the ones that keep the event growing, but some have been there since the beginning.

“There are a few of the original riders that keep coming out. Not that many anymore, but there are a few!”

Bradshaw said that the growing support for it has been why it’s a success.

“It’s a little different the way we do it now than

It’s a little different the way we do it now than when we first started out.

There’s more community support, corporate sponsorships and all that, and that helps out too.”

Bradshaw said that companies like Harvest Meats providing food and Yorkton Co-op providing gas have been instrumental in making the event work every year.

her going for another however many years.”

Bradshaw said he was shocked by the recognition, and is eager to point out that an event like Snowarama takes far more than just one person.

“I really appreciate it.

It’s nice to know you’re instrumental in keeping it going. We’ve always had a great committee too, there has always been a dozen people on the committee over the years, and the snowmobile club helps every year, and good people at SaskAbilities that look

after things, all the registrations and all that is volunteer help... It’s just a bunch of people and all appreciated.”

The Abilities Council also appreciates Bradshaw’s work.

“Easter Seals and SaskAbilities is so fortunate and grateful that for over 43 years Barry has devoted significant time and effort to raise funds for individuals experiencing disability and promote safe snowmobiling opportunities. Barry epitomizes what it means to give unselfishly of one’s time and to mobi-

lize the broader community around a cause. We are so proud that Barry is receiving this recognition as he is most worthy of it.” said John Denysek, Regional Director of SaskAbilities, Yorkton Branch.

Bradshaw is also impressed with where the money is going. He said that he was able to go to Camp Easter Seal a couple years ago and was impressed to see the amount of care given to the kids, the activities like horseback riding they have a chance to take part in, and how the councillors at the camp give kids one-on-one attention.

“It was just amazing to see the facility there again.”

And Bradshaw said that support for Snowarama is going to stay in the family. He said he’s especially proud to see that his son Rick is also getting heavily involved.

Kids arrive at area farm

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It’s kids aplenty this spring at Jim and Stacey Young’s farm south of the city.

While Stacey reports they have one miniature goat the rest of her herd are dairy or meat goats.

“No! We don’t eat them,” she said. “But, my plan is to milk them,

to make soap and such, and to possibly sell goats milk to those in need of it. I have to do a little more research into that though, because I’m sure there are guidelines and such to follow.”

While there are a number of kids on the ground already this spring, it is something new at the farm in general.

“This is our first year

having baby goats,” said Stacey. “We just got a billy goat (a male) last year, although we’ve had the nannies (females), for years. They make great pets.”

And the nannies are proving prolific.

“So far this year we’ve had three sets of twins, so that’s pretty exciting,” said Stacey.

“We put them all in

our old chicken coop to have their babies, and as soon as it’s nice out and the babies are a bit bigger, they will go outside to the goat pasture.”

“Addison (their granddaughter), she absolutely loves the babies, and follows us out there all the time, they are all super friendly and love being held.”

Kunkel new Golf Saskatchewan president

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Yorkton’s Don Kunkel has been elected president of Golf Saskatchewan for 2020.

Kunkel served as vice-president of the provincial organization in 2019, and was re-elected to his third term, and the top spot at the Golf Saskatchewan annual general meeting held online.

“It’s a one-year deal,” he said of the president’s position.

“We’ve always done it that way.”

As for holding the

AGM online via Zoom, Kunkel said it worked out well.

“It was the best turn out we’ve ever had,” he said. “It actually turned out really well.”

In fact, there is interest in adding Zoom as an attendance option post COVID-19, allowing people to participate without travelling to the meeting.

“I think it’s a great idea,” said Kunkel.

“These Zoom meetings are fantastic. They’re basically face-to-face.”

Kunkel said the position is not one that requires a great deal of time.

“It’s not an onerous thing,” he said, adding it does mean he will be “the face of the organization when needed.”

However, in terms of day-to-day operations Golf Saskatchewan does have an executive director Brian Lee. That said Kunkel will be putting some miles on the car this summer attending Golf Saskatchewan tournaments if COVID-19 regulations allow them to take place.

Kunkel said he certainly hopes tournaments can be played

this summer, noting many are held as fundraisers for various organizations all across the province and country.

“Millions are raised in Saskatchewan alone for charities,” offered Kunkel.

As for the chance that golf will be allowed Kunkel is optimistic, but under what rules that might be is yet unknown.

“We’re pretty confident there’s going to be some golf this year,” he said. “The (COVID-19)

curve is pretty flat right now. It’s pretty positive right now.”

Kunkel added there are 100 courses now open in British Columbia so they will be watching how that works out.

“The safety issue is the important thing,” he said. “... A lot of things will come into play. It’s a huge learning curve for everybody.”

Golf Saskatchewan represents some 17,000 golfers across the province.

Knights of Columbus of Saskatchewan hold AGM The 98th Annual State Council Meeting of the Knights of Columbus of Saskatchewan, held by teleconference on April 25, 2020, due to the restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, was a call for Knights to hold fast to the Catholic principles around which the Order was founded 138 years ago. Under the theme “Knights of Fraternity United in Charity” State Deputy

Chris Bencharski, the State Executive, and the delegates from around the Province celebrated the past year’s successes and deliberated on how to better serve the Church and the community.

Jaxon Sperling drafted by Winnipeg ICE

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Yorkton’s own Jaxon Sperling has been drafted by the Winnipeg ICE. The Yorkton 14 year old was picked in Round 13 by the Ice, 278 overall.

Sperling said that the draft made him nervous, because it was getting pretty late before he was picked up by the ICE. “It was very exciting news when my name popped up on the list.”

For Sperling, he’s

looking forward to going to camp and having the chance to prove himself.

“Proving to them that maybe I should have been taken earlier,” Sperling said.

Of course, this season was shorter than planned, and Sperling said that off-season training has been a challenge, but that’s a challenge all of the players are facing, so they’re going to be in the same position.

“You just have to

come to the next season ready,” Sperling said.

The ICE is a relatively new organization, and Sperling is excited to be a part of it. He said he’s looking forward to meeting new people and getting to play in a city where he hasn’t had much experience before, only playing in Winnipeg itself a couple times.

Sperling also said that he needs to give his father – Jeff Sperling – credit for helping him in his hockey career. With

the number of camps, practices and games a young player has to attend, Sperling said that it was his dad’s support that helped him grow as a player.

With a couple Yorkton players getting drafted, Sperling hopes that it’s a sign for scouts that they need to keep a close eye on the city and that there a number of good prospects in the community they need to look at.

“It just helps out the other guys more.”

Film among Best of Sask. nominees

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Other Ordinary is one of the nominees for this year’s Ruth Shaw Award for Best of Saskatchewan at the Yorkton Film Festival.

The film follows Canada’s only travelling theatre group composed of people of all abilities as they prepare for an upcoming performance, explained Adrian Halter of Halter Media and the producer of the film.

The film synopsis details; “A theatre group based in Regina, SK and composed of people of all abilities, rehearses for opening night of their latest show. It is a play that takes the experience of the disabled along with the able-bodied and displays how they intertwine, intersect, and transform. As the group prepares for opening night, they reflect on the opportunity this professional theatre company has given them.”

Halter, who grew up in the small west-central town of Luseland, and now lives in Regina, said the idea to create the film seemed obvious once he had learned of the group.

“I had heard about the organization, Listen to Dis through a colleague and wanted to learn more about the organization,” he related. “I reached out to the Executive Director, Traci Foster (also the director of The Other Ordinary (TOO), theatre group) and when we met,

she described what the organization does and how it also organizes and manages ‘The Other Ordinary’ theatre group.

“I knew right away that there was a story there and it just kind of blossomed.”

Listen to Dis Community Arts Organization Inc. is a non-profit organization that equips and enables people with disabilities to create and participate in art, for the betterment of their health, for recreation, and for the development of themselves as emerging and professional artists.

Halter said the connection to the arts was a story he wanted to tell.

“I’m always interested in the process of other artists and where their passion comes from,” he said. “When I started speaking to members of TOO I knew they had the same passion for their craft as anyone else, they just don’t get the same air time.

“My goal was to approach the project as a spectator taking in the process of bringing together a show.”

Like most films there were challenges in getting the shots they wanted.

“The filming process definitely had its logistical challenges,” said Halter. “We had been working on another documentary but due to some unfortunate circumstances it fell through.

We then had to ramp

Adrian Halter of Halter Media things up with The Other Ordinary but their schedule didn’t quite line up with our deadline.

“Thankfully, everyone was so accommodating and open to us. It made the actual filming process incredibly easy and just a wonderful experience.

“Originally, I had wanted to film bits and pieces from multiple rehearsals but our schedule didn’t allow for that.

So, we filmed one entire rehearsal day from start to finish with two cameras and an audio person and just tried to capture everything as it unfolded.

“It was a really gratifying experience for me as a filmmaker just to be a part of because their passion and attention to detail and ability to push each other as artists was

a joy to watch.”

The rest of the film came together after the hectic rehearsal shoot.

“After the initial rehearsal date, we filmed several interviews over the course of two weeks before filming the performance.

“Again, I can’t say enough how thankful I am that everyone was so accommodating with their schedules so that we could meet our deadline.”

Thankfully, the research wasn’t difficult.

“The group was very open with me and it is a small group so it was easy to get in contact with everyone,” said Halter.

“You always want more time. More time to research, more time to

shoot, and more time to edit but in this situation everything worked out,” he said.

But, time was the ultimate challenge.

“It was really just scheduling,” said Halter.

“The Other Ordinary was only meeting once a month when we started planning the filming so we only had one chance to film a rehearsal otherwise there wasn’t going to be another opportunity.

“Sometimes I think it might have been better to film some interviews prior to the rehearsal but because of filming the rehearsal first, we created a comfort level between the crew and the cast of The Other Ordinary. It made the interviews easier because we could go places that we might not have been able to go if we hadn’t built up that relationship.”

With the time constraints, was the final film what Halter had initially envisioned when embarking on the project?

“The film is a bit different from what I had originally thought it would be but that usually happens,” he offered.

“These things take on a bit of a life of their own and you receive feedback and input from different places and then it starts to evolve.”

As for what the producer likes about the film, Halter said one segment at least is one he likes

most.

“I don’t know if I would consider this the best aspect but my favourite aspect is the rehearsal scenes,” he said. “Watching them break down the script and experiment and try new things and react to one another in the moment was exciting to watch.

“It also makes the performance in front of the audience that much more satisfying to watch.”

Ultimately, Halter likes the film.

“I’m very happy with the film but it wasn’t my story to create, it was already there,” he said.

“All I wanted to do was try and cast light on something that was already happening. I think I was able to do that.”

Now Halter hopes for a rather broad audience for the film.

“The target audience is anyone interested in theatre and the arts,” he said. “The film gives a behind-the-scenes look at how a show comes together.

“It’s also the story of people of all abilities using what they have to express themselves and share their own personal stories onstage.

“I think that is something anyone would be interested in.”

The film is available on AMI’s website or their app. https://www.ami.ca/ category/documentaries/ media/other-ordinary

Aim for 75 per cent canola emergence

By Autumn Barnes Steps taken to improve canola seed emergence will improve the return on investment for seed and can improve overall crop profitability.

If a canola farmer spends $60 per acre on seed, the difference between 50 per cent and 75 per cent emergence is an immediate $15-per-acre increase in the value contribution of that seed investment. But that’s only the beginning.

Yield potential and predictability improve with stands of more than four plants per square foot – which is why the Canola Council of Canada recommends a target of five to eight plants per square foot. With higher emergence rates, canola crops are more likely to achieve this target stand and protect their yield potential.

Thick, uniform stands also canopy more quickly, making them less likely to require a second in-crop herbicide application and in-season flea beetle control.

How to improve emergence percentage Common factors that decrease canola seed and seedling survival are environmental (too dry, too cold, too wet), abiotic (poor seed placement or seed/soil contact, excess seed-placed fertilizer) and biotic (insects and

disease).

Here are some steps to manage those factors that you can control: Seed shallow. Half an inch to one inch below the packer furrow is the recommended seed depth for canola. This will reduce days to emergence and reduce the seed energy required for emergence.

Seed at a consistent depth. For some drills, the overall average may be one inch, but the range could be zero to two inches. The result can be highly variable emergence dates and an uneven field. Follow the operator’s manuals to level the drill, check that openers are in good shape and inflate tires to the same pressure.

Seed slower. In general, at higher speeds, rear openers tend to throw more soil over the front rows, making these seeds slower to emerge. At higher speeds, the whole seeding tool is less likely to cut smooth, even seed rows.

Limit seed-placed fertilizer. Seed-placed fertilizer can increase seedling mortality. The safest practice is to place only phosphate fertilizer with the seed at rates up to 20 pounds of phosphate per acre. Higher soil moisture will protect seedlings somewhat from higher rates.

Penetrate residue.

Use openers and drill settings to penetrate residue so all seeds go into the soil. Residue should be spread evenly across the soil surface during or after harvest the fall before seeding canola.

Leave a firm seedbed.

Openers that fracture the seedbed to place fertilizer lower than the seed may not provide the firm moist seedbed that canola needs.

Pack appropriately. In wet conditions, reduce packing pressure to limit hard crusting. In dry conditions, pack more to conserve moisture in the seed row and ensure adequate seed-to-soil contact.

Seed into warmer soils. Soil temperatures of 5°C or higher with warmer weather in the forecast should facilitate reasonably good rates of emergence. The clock starts running on seed treatments as soon as the seed takes in water and begins germinating, so rapid emergence means that there will be a bigger window of protection from flea beetle for above ground growth.

Rotate crops. A tight canola rotation could increase the risk from seed and seedling diseases that can prevent emergence or weaken the young plants.

“Hunting is a popular pastime in Saskatchewan and the big game draw continues to be an important milestone for hunters,” Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said. “The Ministry of Environment works with the hunting community each year to improve the process and encourages all hunters to apply early.”

The 2020 Big Game Draw Supplement provides Saskatchewan resident hunters with information on seasons and quotas for draw species, as well as advance notice of any changes to this

fall’s regular big game seasons.

Given recent mild winters, increased hunting opportunities for elk, pronghorn, mule deer and white-tailed deer will be available.

Changes remain in place to the big game draw pool system, which expanded the draw from four to six priority pools in 2018. The majority of applicants who qualified for the Legacy pool in 2019 were successfully drawn and the number of hunters moving from the Super A pool to Legacy pool remains low. The chances of being drawn are very good for those applicants eligible for the Legacy pool.

The stuff of life: The living heritage of bread

By Kristin Catherwood, Director of Living Heritage Editor’s Note: This piece was originally published on the www.heritagesask. cablog I was not surprised to hear that some of the first reported shortages in grocery stores was (after toilet paper, a subject worthy of its own cultural study) yeast and flour. In my own experience, as I packed up articles from my apartment to move out to stay with my dad at our family farm for awhile, I grabbed from the back of my fridge a sorely neglected sourdough starter.

Why did I grab the starter? Why did I feel like I should make bread? A wealth of articles that soon appeared in the media indicated I was not alone. These many articles have quoted experts from varied backgrounds and presented different theories and interpretations such as: a way to pass the time, it makes people feel secure, it provides a sense of normalcy, etc. I do not argue against any of these analyses, but want to add some commentary from a folkloric point of view, grounded in the principles of living heritage.

In this commentary, I am referencing several Newfoundland sources, since that is what I am familiar with from my studies of folklore. However, there are examples of bread’s cultural significance found throughout the world, including here in Saskatchewan. For years now, I have considered initiating some sort of living heritage project about bread, and this current situation is bringing it back to the forefront of my mind. I hold on to the power of simple, everyday themes to serve as portals into our most deeply held cultural values. Bread is one such. In my community workshops and presentations about living heritage, I often show parts of artist Mariette Sluyter’s National Film Board project, Bread (http://bread. nfb.ca/.) The project profiles six women from western Canada from diverse backgrounds as they share narratives of their personal life experience while baking bread. Each type of bread the women bake is as different as their personal experiences, and yet they are connected by their experiences of being women, and by the act of baking bread. I invite you to take 30 minutes from your day to experience this project which is brimming with living heritage. Another one to watch is Michael Pollan’s Cooked, available on Netflix. Particularly relevant to this discussion on bread is the episode, “Air.” Bread is a symbol of culture as much as it is a tangible and indisput-

able foodstuff. “Give us this day our daily bread.”

We break bread with each other; in Christianity and other major religions, bread takes on symbolic potency. One of the core tenets of Roman Catholic tradition is belief in transubstantiation – the process whereby specifically bread is literally transformed into the body of Christ. The form of that bread has changed over the centuries, with its present iteration as a communion wafer. During the medieval era, there were specially licensed bakeries which had the approval of the Church to bake the unleavened bread to be used in the Communion sacrament. This is one example of how bread is used in a religious context; there are countless others globally.

The cultural connotations of bread are informed by historic realities. For example, flour and lard were provided in government rations which often inadequately staved off starvation for indigenous peoples in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These ingredients were combined to make bannock, a traditional Scottish staple which has now become a culturally significant food for indigenous peoples of the plains.

The ways in which bannock is made differs from community to community, sometimes from individual to individual, as does its cultural significance.

But importantly is the significance itself – bannock is instantly recognizable as a food with cultural meaning for indigenous communities. In my own work, I have been treated to bannock, both baked and fried, in the northern communities of La Loche (Dene and Métis) and Cumberland House (Cree and Métis), as well as in southern plains communities in Métis Cree, and Nakoda contexts. It has the power to reaffirm a sense of cultural identity while also speaking to historical truths. Bannock is also referred to as a colonial food, one that represents the atrocities committed to indigenous people in Canada, and therefore tainted by these associations (for more on this topic, see Zoe Tennant’s article, https://thewalrus.ca/breaking-bread/).

Like any form of bread, without cultural context bannock is just ingredients baked together. It is the weight of history and culture that imbues it with its meaning and significance, and thus it becomes an example of living heritage.

In folklore studies, scholars examine the everyday items, practices, and beliefs that inform people’s understanding of themselves and their belonging to place.

Delving into the significance of what is often

taken for granted reveals the richness inherent in all communities’ living heritage. Bread is a prime example.

Folklorist, Diane Tye, published a study on the cultural significance of bread in Newfoundland.

She argues that “bread touched all aspects of life,” and quotes anthropologist, Carole Counihan, whose study of the significance of bread in Sardinia found that bread, “is a particularly sensitive indicator of change.” (p. 175).

Tye’s study examines many aspects of bread’s significance to Newfoundland’s cultural heritage, but I found particular relevance in her commentary on the work of bread making. In today’s society, and even in current circumstances, bread making has become almost a hobby, or a recreational pursuit. As Tye

demonstrates, “In earlier generations, the demands of bread-baking filled women’s days.” (p. 180).

Bread was so essential to family survival, that its making was a core activity of a woman’s life. The “barm” or “sponge” that was used (sort of a yeastsourdough hybrid) to rise the bread was a precious and labour-intensive commodity. Without it, the batch of bread would fail. Setting it out to rise was referred to as, “putting the bread to bed.”

If the fire in the stove went out in the night, the bread might not rise; thus some women literally took their rising bread to bed with them -- the only warm place in the house on cold winter nights.

Tye also shares stories of the ways parents would encourage their children to eat the bread crusts, and thus not let the precious food go to waste.

There were tales a “crust man” who would come to steal children who did not eat bread. Others tried to convince their children by saying the crusts would make them strong, make their cheeks rosy, or their hair curly.

That last hit home for me.

As a child, I remember eating my sandwiches but leaving the crusts behind.

My grandmother would tell me to eat them, so I would have curly hair.

When that didn’t prove enough incentive, she would get stern, telling me that there were starving children in the world who would do anything to have my bread crusts, and so I’d better not waste them.

Bread had medicinal uses as well, and could be used in divinatory practices. Bread was also used as protection.

In folklorist, Barbara Rieti’s, study of fairy lore

in Newfoundland, she found that it was common practice to carry bread in one’s pockets to be protected from being, “taken by the fairies”, or harmed by other supernatural entities. Rieti argued, “even without religious associations, bread provides a talisman of domesticity (and culture) against the perils of the wilderness.” (p.

76). If we take that word wilderness to mean “the unknown” we can make an argument about the use of bread as a comforting symbol of home and of culture against the great uncertainty we are collectively living through.

Tye adds that this practice of carrying bread in the face of potential danger was, “a physical reminder of where you came from, and by extension who you were.” (p.

187).

RENO Considerations when choosing a floating floor Floating floors have become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to their durability and improved quality. Most of all, people appreciate how easy they are to install. Since the planks attach to each other instead of the subfloor, they’re also easy to replace. Here are three things to consider when choosing a floating floor.

1. THE MATERIAL The most popular type of floating floor is laminate, which is an affordable option that can withstand a lot of abuse. However, you can also find planks made of vinyl, engineered wood and other materials like cork.

The material you choose will depend on your budget, where you’re planning to install it and the amount of traffic you expect in the area.

2. THE QUALITY Well-made floating floors lock together

easily and seamlessly, while some lowerend materials may not connect properly.

If you opt for laminate that mimics the look of wood, make sure there’s enough variety in the pattern for it to appear natural.

3. THE THICKNESS Thicker floating floorboards aren’t necessarily a higher quality product.

However, they’re easier to install, more resistant to damage and the best choice if your subfloor isn’t perfectly flat.

Before you install your floating floor, you’ll need to lay down a sheet of foam underlay. A must for any floating floor, this layer acts as a moisture barrier, helps correct minor imperfections in the subfloor and adds a bit of cushioning under the planks. Be sure to remove any baseboards or trim from the wall prior to installation, and pull up the old flooring if necessary.

4 benefits of drop ceilings Drop ceilings, also known as suspended ceilings, are so-called because they hang from the structural

floor of the room above. Common in basements, here are four reasons to choose this type of ceiling.

1. THEY’RE EASY TO INSTALL Drop ceilings are so simple to install that many homeowners feel comfortable doing it on their own. It’s also less expensive and creates less dirt and dust than installing drywall.

2. THEY OFFER ACCESS Drop ceilings provide easy access to the wiring, pipes and ducts above the tiles. You’ll likely find this feature convenient if you ever have a burst

Types of wall trim and mouldings There are a variety of wall trims and mouldings you can use to decorate your home. Here are the main ones you should know about.

• Pediment. This decorative moulding is often found above windows and doors.

It’s typically round or triangular and can range from simple to very ornate.

• Crown. Also known as a cornice, this type of moulding gets placed at the juncture between a wall and ceiling.

• Wainscotting.

Common in older, more formal homes, this is a panel that covers the bottom half or third of a wall.

It’s often painted a different colour from the rest of the room to provide contrast.

• Chair rail. This thin, horizontal moulding is usually placed about a third of the way up the wall. Chair rails were once routinely installed to protect walls from the backs of chairs. These days, they typically serve

as decoration. They can be used on their own or in combination with wainscotting.

• Picture rail. Similar to a chair rail but usually placed higher on the wall, this type of moulding is used to hang paintings and pictures without nails.

It’s ideal for renters and homeowners who don’t want to put holes in the walls.

• Mantel. A mantel or

mantelpiece goes above and around a fireplace.

It usually includes a wide shelf for displaying art and other objects.

Wall trim can be decorated in a variety of ways, but many people paint it white or a colour that contrasts with the surrounding walls.

Alternatively, the colour of the mouldings can be matched to the walls for a more streamlined effect.

pipe, gas leak or other issue.

3. THEY’RE EASY TO REPAIR Ceiling tiles are inexpensive and easy to replace if they get damaged.

They also give you the option to patch a small section rather than redo the entire ceiling.

4. THEY REDUCE NOISE Drop ceilings can help soundproof

a room, depending on the type of tiles you choose. This makes them ideal for basements with entertainment systems.

Although drop ceilings are often considered utilitarian, certain types can be very stylish. From understated white blocks to vintage-looking metal squares, there are many options available.

Mapping metals in bird feathers University of Saskatchewan (USask) and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) researchers have mapped metals in bird feathers, a technique that could help make environmental monitoring less destructive.

In a recent paper published in X-ray Spectrometry, researchers used the Canadian Light Source (CLS) synchrotron at USask to examine the level and distribution of zinc in feathers from birds that were fed high-zinc diets.

“The same technique could be applied to toxic metals like mercury, even at low concentrations,” says Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada scientist Fardausi Akhter.

“You could just take a feather from the bird and be able to show if it was exposed to toxic metals present in the environment.”

Akhter, a toxicologist interested in applying synchrotron techniques to environmental questions, first started working on this project with Graham Fairhurst, a USask avian ecophysiologist, when they were both working as postdocs supervised by Catherine Soos. Soos is a wildlife health specialist and research scientist at ECCC, and adjunct professor at USask (Department of Veterinary Pathology, Western College of Veterinary Medicine), whose research focuses on investigating impacts of large-scale environ-

mental changes on wildlife health. Her team often uses feathers as tools to evaluate exposure to toxic metals, and impacts of exposure on health of wild birds.

More and more, ecologists are using feathers to measure exposure to toxic metals in the environment. Since feathers are replaced seasonally, they can provide insight into the changes in environmental toxins directly, without any harm to the animal. Further, the synchrotron technique leaves the feather intact, unlike traditional techniques that require the sample to be pulverized to see the quantity of the element.

“Traditionally, exposure to heavy metals or

trace elements is measured in samples of homogenized tissues, blood, or whole feathers,” says Soos. “This provides valuable information, but when it comes to feathers, it was still unclear how or where metals are distributed within the feather.”

They turned to synchrotron techniques to investigate feather structures at a scale of a thousandth of a millimeter and to “learn more about potential physiological mechanisms associated with trace element deposition within feather microstructures,” says Soos.

“Using the synchrotron gave us the opportunity to look into the feather in its original condition.

BREAD Continued from Page 9 In her article, Tye also speaks to the connections of bread with a nostalgic yearning to return to earlier times, and particularly, to rural lifestyles that were self-sufficient and grounded in family closeness and connection to place. My perspective on our current bread frenzy is closely related to this. The act of baking bread is symbolic of the self-sufficiency most of our ancestors lived. They did not have the option of whether to eat out or cook at home, or even to go to the grocery store for that matter. We as a western society are only a couple of generations removed

from a time when almost all meals were produced at home, and often the ingredients to produce them were sourced nearby, oftentimes from one’s own garden and barn.

The “panic buying” we have witnessed in recent weeks may not be irrational after all. Rather, we are responding to fundamental human fears of survival, and these are culturally informed. Bread, at a deep level, represents food in general, and the COVID-19 pandemic is revealing the fragility of our current food systems.

We know that much of our food comes from faraway places and must rely on complicated transport

networks to get to our supermarket shelves.

During “normal” life, we can ponder these things with concern, but without urgency. But when a disruption occurs, we are confronted with our vulnerability. The act of baking bread, of producing our own food, is perhaps an assertion of self-sufficiency and personal survival in the face of uncertainty.

As for my own bread, grabbing the sourdough starter was an instinctive act, perhaps informed by my knowledge that yeast was running low in grocery stores. As far as I’ve heard, bread itself has not been scarce in the

stores, but the instinct we act upon is cultural heritage imbedded in our very bones. In a complicated world brought to a sudden halt, the essentials of life and the very question of survival rise. For me, slowly nurturing my sourdough starter back to life took two weeks. The symbolism was not lost on me even as I performed the daily ritual of feeding the starter until finally it was ready to produce a loaf of bread.

In this time of global uncertainty and change, the pandemic is forcing us to be close to hearth and home, and bread is inextricably linked with that. As we move through our days wondering when things will get back to normal, or perhaps if “normal” is what we actually want to return to, we reach for something solid to hold onto. A daily food usually taken for granted, sometimes demonized because of its heavy carb load, and other times brought into the spotlight for religious or cultural ritual, bread is now returning to its place on our tables and in our collective cultural consciousness as the very stuff of life.

We can look into exactly where the zinc is, down to the barbule,” says Akhter.

A barbule is the sub-unit of a feather’s barb, and can be identified on the micron scale.

“For this question, I don’t know if any other tool would have allowed us to do this – to look at the structures within something as tiny as a barbule,” says Fairhurst.

In fact, the barbules were where zinc was most heavily concentrated.

Previous research had shown that, like hair in humans, feathers can act as a sink for chemicals in the body, which in turn can contribute to the bird’s colouration and signaling, potentially affecting communication.

“Zinc came up as nutritionally important, and it has a connection to melanin, which is involved in colouration of feathers,” says Fairhurst. “It can also be considered an emergent pollutant and could be problematic in some environments.”

Using a technique called X-ray Fluorescence Mapping (XRF) at the CLS, the researchers showed that the darker areas of feathers contain more zinc, a strong sign of the relationship between the birds’ pigmentation and diet. Melanin produces deep auburn-like reds, browns and blacks, rather than the bright colours some birds display.

“Because of the presence of these metals in the feather, the bird is

able to form melanin pigment molecules that contribute to these colours, which is very important for mating purposes,” says Akhter.

What this means for environmental pollution’s effect on mating and other feather-based communication tools in birds has yet to be explored, but the team did study how elevated zinc exposure affects its concentration in feathers. To do so, collaborator Karen Machin, a USask professor, raised birds with higher levels of dietary zinc to compare.

As expected, the birds with more zinc in their diets also had more zinc in their feathers, a result with promising implications for environmental monitoring.

“The VESPERS beamline at CLS is an incredibly powerful tool, and the scientists there are really a part of the team,” says Akhter, whose work on these and other questions continues.

The researchers have many further avenues for research planned, particularly in developing XRF mapping techniques for looking at other contaminants in birds. Using the same techniques, they are currently comparing levels and distribution of multiple toxic metals in the feathers of tree swallow nestlings that developed in the oil sands region of Alberta, to those at reference sites.

Are we seeing more wildlife?

During this COVID-19 outbreak and being hunkered down inside, many Canadians believe they have been observing more wildlife outside their windows and in their subdivisions. In posting photos and videos on social media, they feel they are observing more wildlife in their

communities.

However, a scientist with the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) says that in most cases it’s just that people have been able to slow down and notice these critters. Dan Kraus says in our daily travels and busy lives, most of the wildlife has been there all along waiting for us to notice and discover it.

“Because of how COVID19 has forced many of us to slow down and stay home, many people are more tuned in to what nature is around us – we might be noticing the birds and other creatures that live around us more because we are less distracted compared to our usual routines,” said Kraus.

Kraus, who is senior conservation biologist with the national land conservation group, says there are several reasons why there seems to be more animal sightings lately. One is that some wildlife are taking advantage of empty spaces while people spend most of their time in their homes.

Public Health Agency of Canada and researchers across Canada and around the world.â&#x20AC;?

The $23 million will support pre-clinical testing and two phases of clinical trials, essential steps to ensuring that vaccines are effective and safe for human use.

Manufacturing of the prototype vaccine and extensive safety assessment of the vaccine in animal models has been started, and will be completed this summer.

Clinical testing in humans is planned for the fall, with the vaccine potentially being available as early as next spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to make a safe and effective vaccine as quickly as possible,â&#x20AC;? said VIDOInterVac Director Dr. Volker Gerdts.

The Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials will test the safety of the vaccine to ensure no adverse effects and confirm that the vaccine works in humans as demonstrated in animal testing currently underway at VIDO-InterVac. This testing in humans will be done in Canada.

While there are more than 75 confirmed vaccine candidates under development in 19 countries around the world, Gerdts said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for Canada to develop a vaccine for Canadians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The global race to find a vaccine in response to the COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented in terms of scale and speed, but it will take a significant amount of time for vaccines to be developed for the whole world,â&#x20AC;? said Gerdts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To ensure Canadians have access to these life-saving vaccines, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that we develop timely vaccines here in Canada.â&#x20AC;?

VIDO-InterVac was the first lab in Canada to isolate the COVID-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2). It

was also the first lab in the country to establish an animal model for testing of vaccines, antivirals and therapeutics, and the first in Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and one of the very few in the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;to already have a sub-unit vaccine in animal testing. The vaccine is based on the centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highly promising results for vaccines against closely related coronaviruses, including Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).

While work on their vaccine progresses, VIDO-InterVac is testing various vaccines, antiviral medications, and novel treatments for companies with technologies.

The centre has received more than 100 requests for this type of contract research.

The announcement comes on the heels of $23.3 million announced March 23 by the federal government for VIDOInterVacâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;$12 million to complete their vaccine manufacturing facility to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards as required for human vaccine production, and $11.3 million for continued operational funding for the high containment laboratories over the coming year.

A world leader in developing vaccines and technologies to combat infectious diseases, VIDO-InterVac has also been awarded $1 million through the federal rapid research funding initiative for research projects aimed at addressing COVID-19.

This spring, the Saskatchewan government invested a total of $4.2 million for VIDO-InterVac, including $400,000 for VIDOInterVacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manufacturing facility.

Canada now has 42,000 confirmed cases and 1,974 deaths from COVID19.

Did you know?

Brief breaks during the work day can dramatically improve oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to focus on a task.

A 2011 study published in the journal Cognition found that brief mental breaks can improve focus on a prolonged task. The studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authors tested participantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to focus on a repetitive computerized task for 50 minutes under various conditions. The control group performed the task without breaks or diversions. The switch group and non-switch group memorized four digits before performing the task and were directed to respond if they saw one of the digits on the screen while performing the task.

The switch group was the only group to be presented with the digits twice during the experiment, and both groups were tested on their memory of the digits at the end of the task. Most participantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance declined considerably over the course of the 50-minute task. However, the performance of those in the switch group did not decline at all, as the two brief breaks to respond to the digits allowed them to maintain their focus throughout the experiment.

The researchers behind the study concluded that the switch groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance was steady because the brain is built to detect and respond to change, and its performance will actually suffer if it must maintain prolonged attention on a single task without taking a break.

Professionals with a lot on their plates may see their performance improve by taking frequent mental breaks throughout the workday.

WILDLIFE Continued from Page 12 “The quieter environment certainly means that we also hear more birds, and animals that avoided people by mostly coming out at night maybe extending the hours that they are active,” said Kraus.

He points out it is also a matter of seasonal timing. Spring is of course when the natural world starts to get busy with growth and reproduction.

Migratory birds start returning or passing through our neighbourhoods.

“Animals of all sorts are moving about more looking for a mate or build-

ing a nest or den. So this slow down of human society is happening right when the rest of nature is waking up and getting active. There’s a lot happening for any of us to notice, if we only pay attention!”

Kraus points out it’s not even that unusual to have wildlife like bears or moose occasionally wander into cities in the spring (usually young males!).

Wildlife also come into our cities because of cleaner air and water and also because we have more habitat in our urban areas than in the past.

“The majority of Canadians live in

a place that historically had very high biodiversity. Some of the diversity is coming back thanks to conservation efforts and because wildlife is adapting”.

Kraus hopes these wildlife observations will give families a greater appreciation of nature and interest in the species that share our areas.

To help people get their nature fix while being indoors, NCC has posted a series of activities on its website. They include a five minute daily nature challenge, crossword puzzles,

coloring sheets and videos offering virtual hikes and walks of various Nature Conservancy properties in all ten provinces.

Campsite reservation open May 4 The Saskatchewan Provincial Parks Campsite Reservation Launch is set to begin May 4, 2020, with a camping start date of June 1, 2020.

“While the reservation launch was initially delayed due to COVID-19, we are pleased to cautiously open for the 2020 camping season,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister and Minister Responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan Gene Makowsky said. “We are looking forward to welcoming visitors back to our parks, where they can naturally physical distance and enjoy the outdoors. However, campers should be aware of numerous restrictions and understand that at least at first, camping will look different this year.”

Saskatchewan Provincial Parks were included in Premier Scott Moe’s announcement to begin re-opening the provincial economy, a methodical

and phased-in approach to slowly and responsibly lift restrictions.

Re-Open Saskatchewan will consist of five phases, the first of which includes re-opening parks and campgrounds.

On May 4, 2020, campers can begin reserving campsites through the online reservation system. As well, parks will open to vehicle traffic for Saskatchewan residents to allow activities such as angling, hiking and biking. Park users will be required to follow physical distancing rules and are encouraged to be mindful while on docks, trails and in the parks. The safety of park staff and visitors remains a top priority.

At first, campgrounds will be open to 50 per cent capacity, meaning only every other campsite will be available for booking. To limit travel between provinces, camping in provincial parks

will only be open to Saskatchewan residents starting June 1, until further notice.

Reservations for campsites will open at 7 a.m. on the scheduled days below, with the queue opening at 6:40 a.m. Staggered launch dates and the queuing system will be implemented again in 2020 to help manage the volume the site experiences. Campers must reserve online or through the call centre.

The schedule is as follows: • Monday, May 4: Seasonal campsites across provincial parks* • Wednesday, May 6: Pike Lake, The Battlefords, Narrow Hills, Blackstrap • Thursday, May 7: Bronson Forest, Meadow Lake, Makwa Lake, Lac La Ronge • Friday, May 8: Saskatchewan

Landing, Douglas, Danielson • Monday, May 11: Buffalo Pound, Rowan’s Ravine, Echo Valley, Crooked Lake • Tuesday, May 12: Cypress Hills • Wednesday, May 13: Duck Mountain, Good Spirit Lake, Greenwater Lake • Thursday, May 14: Candle Lake, Great Blue Heron, Moose Mountain Seasonal and nightly campsites can be reserved through the online system at https://saskparks.goingtocamp.com or through the call centre at 1-855-7377275.

• Seasonal campsite fees have been pro-rated to reflect the June 1 opening.

Additional information, including questions and answers about the 2020 camping season can be found at https:// www.tourismsaskatchewan.com/placesto-go/provincial-parks/Announcements.

Online, virtual program to people with neurological conditions During the COVID-19 pandemic, University of Saskatchewan (USask) researchers in physiotherapy, rehabilitation science, and neurology are combining their expertise to provide a free online, virtual pro-

gram to people with neurological conditions.

The program NeuroSask: Active and Connected will begin on April 23. It involves a twice-weekly video conference consisting of a physiotherapist-guided

movement class, followed by an interactive session with guest medical or wellness experts and local artists, or a social activity.

Project co-leads USask physiotherapist Dr. Sarah Donkers (PhD)

and physical medicine and rehabilitation expert Dr. Katherine Knox (MD) recognized the gap in physical activity options during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially for people with existing mobility restrictions.

“The ultimate goal is to provide people who have Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s disease, and spinal cord injuries with access to support and health experts while their in-person exercise and support pro-

grams are closed,” said Donkers.

The first 30 minutes of each workshop will feature movements targeting people with mobility impairments, which will be done while seated, Continued on Page 16

The latter 30 minutes will alternate between opportunities to connect virtually with health and wellness experts such as leading physicians in MS, Parkinson’s and spinal cord injury, and activities which enable a social connection through music and karaoke quiz games. The content of future sessions will be based on the interests of attendees.

“This is a venue to hear people’s needs, and there’s also a support and community connection aspect, helping people to find and help each other,” said Donkers.

The team includes top medical experts in the province: USask neurologists Dr. Michael Levin (MD) who holds the Saskatchewan MS Clinical Research Chair; Dr. Alex Rajput (MD), Director of the Movement Disorders Program; Dr. Ilia Poliakov (MD), Director of the Multiple Sclerosis Clinic; pharmacy researcher Dr. Charity Evans (PhD); and Dr. Gary Linassi (MB), head of the Saskatchewan provincial physical medicine and rehabilitation department.

Common causes of hair loss and treatment options Millions of men and women experience hair loss in some shape or form in their lives. The Hair Society, a hair-loss information group, says that approximately 35 million men and 21 million women suffer from hair loss, and people are more likely to experience hair loss as they age.

Many different things can contribute to hair loss. Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) can begin to affect men in their mid- to late-20s, with displays of baldness growing in their 30s and 40s, says Bosley, a hair-loss treatment company. This is a hereditary condition that will only continue through life without intervention. Other

• Stress: Hair can thin following a physical or emotional shock and may continue several months after the event.

• Damage to the hair: Treatments or hairstyles that stress the hair follicles and pull them tightly can cause a type of hair loss known as traction alopecia.

These include cornrows, pigtails, tight ponytails, and braids.

• Crash diets: Dramatic dietary changes may cause hair loss. For example, the AAD says people may suffer from hair loss if they suddenly are not getting enough protein in their diets.

• Anemia: A doctor may be able to do a blood test to determine if hair loss is

possibly related to anemia from an iron deficiency.

Oftentimes, addressing the underlying condition causing hair loss can bring about regrowth. For those with hereditary hair loss, medications (topical, injections and pills); laser hair therapy; surgical or nonsurgical procedures; scalp treatments; like scalp reduction or scalp flaps; and other options may go a long way toward restoring hair volume.

Various hair-loss specialists offer free evaluations to people who want to learn about hair loss. Concerned men and women also can speak to a dermatologist if hair loss is a concern.

non-hereditary hair loss issues may be temporary and reverse when the underlying cause is addressed. These include: • Hormonal changes: Hormonal changes due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, or thyroid illness can cause patchy hair loss or thinning of the hair.

• Medications and supplements: The Mayo Clinic says that hair loss can be a side effect of certain drugs, such as those to treat cancer, depression, heart problems, gout, and high blood pressure. The American Academy of Dermatology says too much vitamin A in supplements can trigger hair loss as well.
