KCI named as a recipient School for 2020 Mosaic Challenge Courtesy of Kamsack Times The Kamsack Comprehensive Institute (KCI) has been successful in obtaining one of 10 grants of $10,000 awarded to 10 schools in Saskatchewan.

The funding will be used to help with the costs of running an Outdoor Wellness program during the 2020/21 school year, according to Jeremy Allard, Aboriginal community worker at

KCI. “The objective of the program is to help students be aware of the things that contribute to wellness and how to practice self care,” Allard said in a release. “The program will provide nutritional and cultural education, through various activities that focus on physical, mental, spiritual, and social development. Activities will be planned and organized by school staff and delivered with the

assistance of community leaders and resources.”

Parents will also be invited to participate alongside their children, contributing to the relationships between staff, students, and community.

“We are very excited to be able to provide students with this opportunity as a result of the financial support from Mosaic,” Allard continued.

“Programs like this contribute directly to our division motto of “Students Come First” and our division mission of “Building Strong Foundations to Create Bright Futures.”

“The success of this program grows year over year, thanks in large part to the commitment from educators in our province,” said Sarah Fedorchuk, The Mosaic Company’s vice-president, public affairs and government relations, North America, in a release. “Now, in its 14th year, Mosaic remains committed to funding the Mosaic Extreme School Makeover Challenge to ensure 10 more schools can provide healthier school environments for their students.”

The grants will support winning projects that have goals 20053SC0 20054SC0

including building or renovating kitchen, garden and other indoor and outdoor facilities; enhancing, through courses, clubs and other efforts, the learning opportunities available for students, families and communities about topics including nutrition, cooking, Indigenous traditional knowledge and environmental sustainability; promoting reconciliation and celebrating cultures; and, implementing or increasing breakfast, lunch and other programs.

Schools from across the province submitted their projects to compete for the total of $100,000 in prizes, provided by Mosaic.

Schools receiving grants this year are part of the Good Spirit, Greater Saskatoon Catholic, Horizon, North East, Prairie South, Regina Catholic, Saskatchewan Rivers, Saskatoon Public and South East Cornerstone school divisions and the Muskoday First Nation.

To encourage grassroots initiatives to help improve student nutrition, the Mosaic Challenge began in 2006. Mosaic and the SSBA have continued to

partner for the initiative since then, the release continued.

“Mosaic has been a very generous partner in support of improved nutrition environments for the students of our province and we are

pleased to continue this program during these unprecedented times,” said Dr. Shawn Davidson, president of the SSBA. “Saskatchewan’s 27 school boards are thankful for Mosaic’s ongoing commitment.”

In spite of COVID-19, property taxes unchanged in 2020 Canora budget Courtesy of Canora Courier Town council approved the Canora 2020 budget on May 5.

There is no increase to property taxes this year, said Michael Mykytyshyn, chief administrative officer, Town of Canora. With some uncertainty due to the COVID situation, council is concerned with the economic impacts that are yet to be determined and agreed to table a fairly conservative financial plan for the year.

As always, the budget is revenue neutral, showing $4,932,720 in both revenues and expenses, said Mykytyshyn.

Both municipal and school tax mill rates remain the same as last year. The municipal mill rate is 14.05 with factors of .85 for residential properties and 1.5 for all others. The municipal minimum taxes of $1,260 for land with a building and $1,000 for a vacant lot remain unchanged.

With no increase to rates, municipal tax revenue for 2020 is $1,854,151, which is actually down a bit from last year due to a drop in some assessments.

AdCanada-CN_3x110.f15_R0011815627.indd

An example of Outdoor Wellness activities at KCI includes the setup of a teepee like this one.

Under the policy set by the province, school mill rates were also unchanged, with residential at 4.12 mills, commercial/industrial at 6.27 mills and agricultural at 1.43 mills.

The Town’s revenue sharing grant increased by $45,248 to $460,248 for 2020.

With the current social distancing requirements, there are several aspects of Town operations that have been affected or are undetermined and/ or subject to change moving forward. Many of these will be directly dependent on the conditions set by the province.

Council has already decided that the campgrounds will not open at this time as it will be very difficult to meet the provincial requirements for its operation.

And, while department heads are cautiously optimistic, it may be possible that the swimming pool will not open this season. This would affect not only the patrons of the facility, but means that more than a dozen local students may be without employment this summer.

There will be one part-

time student opportunity for an employee to maintain the Town’s flowers and trees for the summer, continued Mykytyshyn.

The golf course, which is run by the Canora Golf and Country Club, is now able to open, but under strict guidelines that will certainly affect usage and operations. As a result, council remains committed to provide some financial assistance to the golf club to ensure the course infrastructure can be preserved.

In other departments, work will continue as usual.

Lesia, Canora’s welcome statue, is celebrating her 40th birthday this year and she will be getting some cosmetic improvements.

Construction of a permanent farmers’ market structure at the CN Station House and Visitors’ Centre will begin soon.

The landfill project is progressing. In the past year, Tetra Tech Canada has prepared Phase 2 and 3 Environmental Site Assessments, Feasibility Study and an Environmental Monitoring Plan for the facility.

Wildlife camp reopened for essential workers Courtesy of Preeceville Progress The Preeceville Wildlife Campground is closed to the public under government orders due to COVID-19, but special permission has been granted to

allow a private essential workers camp to use the campground while working in the local Preeceville area.

“These workers will be moving in within the next few weeks,” said Heather Gawrelitza, who is looking after the campground along

The Preeceville Wildlife Campground is presently closed to the public but was granted special permission to be opened to a private essential workers’ camp.

with husband Greg and son Lyndon for the 2020 season.

The Preeceville Wildlife Campground is maintained by the volunteers of the Preeceville Wildlife Club with the main caretaker over the last few years being Les Braithwaite.

“Les Braithwaite has done a great job for many years and has made the decision to retire this

year,” she said., This past summer the club presented Braithwaite with a Preeceville Wildlife club jacket to show its appreciation for all his hard work over the years.

The campground offers electrical sites and operates on a first come, first served basis offering shower and washroom facilities. There is a sewer dumping station

The Gawrelitza family has taken on the responsibility as caretakers of the Preeceville Wildlife Campground for the 2020 season. Family members, from left, were: Greg, Heather and Lyndon.

BUDGET Continued from Page 2 It is now known that the estimated cost to close the landfill will be $2.4 million, reported Mykytyshyn. The Town has applied to the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) to help offset these costs. It is hoped that the decommissioning can be put off for a year as this does not include the cost of building a new solid waste management facility. It will be up to Saskatchewan Environment how long the Town is able to continue operation of the existing site.

Other projects in 2020

include the completion of the effluent treatment system at the water treatment plant.

Installing equipment to treat the wastewater from rinsing the filters at the plant will cost about $325,000. This work is also a requirement under federal and provincial environmental regulations.

Work will continue on the promotional area on the corner of Railway Avenue and Norway Road. Trees were planted last year and this will be a multi-year project.

Town council and partnering rural municipalities are

preparing to order a new fire truck this year and the down payment will be around $300,000.

Once it is ordered, it is anticipated that delivery of the truck will be in 2021.

It is hoped to replace the water main on Eighth Avenue West at a cost of around $106,000, some of which will be shared with property owners if approval for a local improvement goes through. This street has been plagued with water breaks and the pavement has broken down. It only makes sense to replace the water mains before repairing and repaving

the street.

Smaller projects include compressor upgrades at the skating and curling rinks and continued improvements to the ball diamonds at the sports grounds.

Pumps at the water treatment plant and reservoir are set to be rebuilt for about $63,000.

The 2020 budget includes about $466,727 in transfers to reserve and about $341,984 in withdrawals from reserve for capital projects listed above. This will bring the Town’s appropriated reserve total to more than $1.8 million, concluded Mykytyshyn.

available for all Preeceville residents to use as a service provided by the Town of Preeceville for the local community.

Firewood is supplied by the Wildlife Club volunteers and is to be used while camping in the campground. The club looks forward to any suggestions for improvements and is always in need of local volunteers to lend a hand with spring and fall cleanup in order to maintain the camping area.

The campgrounds began when John Rivney had donated four acres to the wildlife federation just north of the Town of Preeceville. where the club has erected a stone cairn and a storage shed, stated an informational billboard located outside the campgrounds.

The town of Preeceville and the wildlife branch constructed a campground with 11 sites and a shower building.

Not all sites have a water connection and seven out of the 11 are electric.

A dump station is also available on site. The campground has been in use for the past 28 years.

The wildlife club began as the Fish and Game League, Sturgis and Preeceville branch.

The very first meeting was held on February 11, 1950 in Sturgis with seven people in attendance.

This was called the “Fish and Game League,” until the early 1960’s when Preeceville and Sturgis each formed their own clubs. Then the Preeceville branch joined the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation and membership grew from 30 in the early years to as many as 825 members.

Presently the club has 348 members.

Through the years the club has supported many local projects and activities that included: poster contest, fish derby, turkey shoot, trap shooting, snowmobile derbies, stocking fish in local lakes, and firearm safety courses. It has given many monetary donations to various organizations.

Preeceville Wildlife Club directors Eugene Panasiewich, Heather Gawrelitza, and Norman Johnson presented Les Braithwaite with a Club Jacket in appreciation for his hard work and dedication to the Preeceville Wildlife Campground. Presentation was made this past summer at the campground.

From left, were: Panasiewich, Gawrelitza, Johnson and Braithwaite.

EDITORIAL

Determining what are acceptable risks You won’t see Yorkton’s James Jacobs on the list of deaths caused by the China started coronavirus, but he should be.

James suffered a seizure in early April and paramedics were unable to attend to him because they feared that due to a fever he was positive for the virus. Therefore, they got into their virus protective clothing as fast as they could, but the ten minutes it took while James continued to deteriorate ended up being too long and he was pronounced dead a short time later. I give full marks to Crestvue for admitting that it is possible a different outcome could have been potentially achieved if they didn’t have to take PPE but what has happened is that most of the world has been scared to death by the media and not educated or paid attention to the reality of this virus. Many things can cause a fever, not just coronavirus. The number of people in Yorkton that have or have had the virus could be zero.

We don’t know out of privacy, but rest assured it’s a very, very small number.

Depending on who the paramedics were, the facts are this - if the paramedic was a young (under age 70) and healthy person with no underlying health issues, the chances of being seriously affected in the event of contracting the virus is slim. That’s not to say you should be cavalier and careless but it’s

MIKE STACKHOUSE mikestackhouse@hotmail.com

Stackhouse Soapbox to offer perspective to those who think a positive coronavirus test is akin to a death sentence.

It isn’t. Not even close.

I feel like when people say to me that you can’t afford to take the risk I want to ask them if they’ve thought about all the other things in everyday life that involve risk that we don’t give a second thought to, and we have never worried about contracting viruses in the past and the media has never tracked them before so is this one any more or less contagious than other viruses that are in the air during flu season? I feel like the answer is ‘yes’ it’s extremely contagious but I’m not sure we even know. Nursing homes will deal with various outbreaks every year and, sadly, many will pass away.

While on the subject of risk, you can fall down the stairs and end up with a broken neck every single time you

step on a flight of them.

In Canada, you have a greater chance of being killed on the highway in a collision with a moose than you do of the virus.

Has anyone stopped driving over their fear of an accident of any kind, let alone with a moose?

Now, if you are unhealthy or are of age 70 and older, it’s a much different story and great care needs to be taken. I’ve had people even say to me, ‘What if I don’t know I have it and I pass it on to my elderly relative.’

Well, yes. If you have an elderly relative that you like to visit with, then you need to make sure you take extra precautions when in their presence. Don’t breathe on them. Make sure you are super clean and perhaps even take a shower before you visit. Chances are the elderly relative is taking precautions too. That’s really all we can do and, frankly, it has to be enough or else we will all go bananas

and the elderly and most vulnerable are going to be the only ones left on this planet. We will have killed all the healthy ones while trying to preserve every one’s life.

Another thing we’ve learned during this pandemic is just how unimportant life is when it’s not directly coronavirus affected. If you have depression? Suck it up and ‘put your big boy pants on’ was one quote I heard from a panic stricken individual that supported isolated basement living, potentially forever to eradicate the virus. Lose your business or your home because you have no income? Don’t worry you have your health, even if all you can do is stare at a wall all day. Need

to see your cancer specialist? No way, that’s not safe and, besides, you are in the last stages of life anyway (as are the large majority of coronavirus hospital patients, but I digress) so take one for the team. Live with an abusive spouse or parent? That’s your fault for not leaving sooner.

We have to get rid of the virus. Of course All of this is lunacy and the fact we couldn’t manage a virus as well as other problems together just shows how incredibly inept we’ve become as a society.

One final thought - as we protect the elderly in nursing homes, has anyone bothered to check with the people living in these facilties to see how they are doing and

what they may want to do? I suspect there is incredible sadness at these places right now as they have gone about two months without seeing a soul aside from other residents and staff members. We should be putting resources into how we can improve their quality of life so that their final days, weeks, months, and years aren’t spent in solitary confinement or in confusion and let’s also keep in mind there are staff at these places where stress levels are through the roof. Surely there can be some outside human contact and maybe one of these people who projected 3000-8000 deaths in Saskatchewan by June 1st can come up with a solution.

Oh, the toll a pandemic takes

By Jordan Stricker Local Journalism Initiative Reporter It was the last 30 seconds or so of Premier Scott Moe’s daily COVID19 when something peculiar happened. He spoke to the current restrictions that will possibly leave us at a distance from our mothers as their day approaches.

As he took a selfproclaimed “selfish moment” to tell his mother and wife how much they are loved because he will not be with them this Mother’s Day, he broke. His voice cracked and you could clearly see he was fighting off the urge to let it out.

“Many are going to be wishing their mothers and the mothers of their children a happy Mother’s Day through the telephone, FaceTime or through a glass window if they are in a long-term

care facility,” said Moe. “Myself, like many others, will not be spending Mother’s Day with my mom or the mother of my children. I would take this very selfish opportunity to wish them a very happy Mother’s Day. And to the rest of the mothers of this province, I would just say thank you for all you do,” said Moe. A small moment can show you so much. This pandemic has taken so much out of everyone.

Even the man who is tasked with guiding a province. In one moment, as politicians rarely do, we saw a man behind the suit and stature.

The job as a provincial leader is one based on a constant barrage of scrutiny, difficult decisions and very little space reserved to be who you are behind closed doors.

The job demands perfection of sorts. Anything less, we in the media and

in public will find a way to pick it out and expose whatever we can.

We put our faith in a system, and whenever it wrongs us, we have someone to point to, and that’s Moe. It might be safe to assume we’ve all had a moment like Moe did on May 8. This pandemic has shaken not only Saskatchewan but the world. We have all been forced to completely shut down the way we have lived this whole time and start from scratch.

Most of us have the luxury of only dealing with our direct circles.

Who we are in those circles, does not shake a whole province. We are who we are in our little worlds and for the most part wrong choices serve little repercussions.

Moe does not have that luxury. In a single moment, you could see a flash of a spring election,

scrutiny of a delayed pandemic response, outbreaks in the north and a tanking economy build up to what could be seen as a straw that broke the camel’s back: distance from the ones who really know and love you the most.

I don’t take this moment to sit here and tell you to throw away your political beliefs or feel bad for someone because they showed some emotion. Take a moment and understand not only the position we are in as the general public, but the position the people who actually have to make decisions to keep the majority as safe as possible, whether you think they are doing a great job or not.

We are all human and this has hurt us all, even the ones who sit atop their legislative thrones.

Things are starting to somewhat progress in a

positive direction. Take the time to look at everyone you come across, be it online or in passing, and understand we all are in this together.

At the present moment, we don’t have access to all of the things we normally do to distract ourselves. We are all looking forward to the day we can get back on our favourite patios, and go see our favourite musicians and favourite sports teams play.

Those days are getting closer the more success social distancing and constant testing have.

Until that day comes, we have each other and the messages we put out into the world. Hopefully, more for the better and not for the worse.

If we’re lucky, we’ll move past this and gain a greater understanding of what happens when we stop pointing fingers and stick together.

Deer Park ready for golfers

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Golfers will soon be able to get back on the links in Saskatchewan, but they will find a host of new rules and regulations in place as courses re-open May 15.

The new rules are in place as a result of COVID-19, and are generally being mandated by the province, or implemented by the golf sector to ensure player and staff safety.

Even with the new regulations, Allan Sauser, golf operations manager at Deer Park Golf Course said he expects a rather brisk summer for golf.

“It’s one of the few sports we’ll be allowed to do,” he said.

Sauser said looking at numbers in British Columbia where golf-

ers have already been allowed back on courses, people want to play.

“I can tell you in B.C. there’s a spike in golf,” he said. “I expect the same here ... What else is there for people to do.”

So while interest is expected to be good, what changes should golfers expect when they head out next week?

Well to begin with they have to call ahead to book a tee time at Deer Park.

Season pass purchases and all tee time bookings must be made in advance by phone, and form of payment is required at time of purchase/booking, said Sauser.

Season passes must be paid in full prior to accessing tee times. The payment plan is suspended for the 2020 season.

All tee times are open five days in advance to all golfers.

Also golfers are going to have to realize they are at the course to golf, and then be ready to go home after finishing a round.

All practice ranges and practice greens are closed until further notice.

Beginning May 19, the Pro Shop will be available to golfers 15 minutes in advance of their tee time to a maximum of four customers, at any given time.

Golfers are only permitted at the golf course a maximum of 15 minutes prior to their tee time and must leave the course immediately upon completion of their round.

Tee times will be set 20 minutes apart until

A5

Deer Park Golf Course restrictions are lifted.

And services at the course are affected too.

Washroom in clubhouse will be open with a restriction of one person in each at a time, and on-course washrooms are closed until further notice.

Club storage and cleaning is not available until restrictions are lifted.

Pro Shop and limited food and beverage orders must be made, and paid by phone with curbside pickup provided, until May 19, when the service will be available in the

Pro Shop.

The restaurant will re-open when provincial rules allow, said Sauser.

Others rules will be posted at the course, and may change as the province moves through its Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan.

Federal dollars a first step: APAS The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS) sees the recent $252 million federal funding announcement for agriculture as a first step in the right direction, but warns more will be required to secure Canada’s food supply and address the financial difficulties facing Saskatchewan farm-

ers. “Any assistance to producers is welcome, but this package is only a small first step in addressing the needs at the farm gate,” explains APAS President Todd Lewis. “We need more action from the government to help reduce our risk and secure Canada’s agricultural industry and food supply.”

“Cattle and hog pro-

ducers are facing the most immediate crisis as a result of COVID19, and the measures announced today will help address specific issues within these supply chains,” Lewis continues. “But there are many other issues that still need to be addressed. The Prime Minister himself acknowledged that this

20053AR1

is a first step.”

Lewis pointed out that today’s announcement falls far short of the $2.6 billion identified by the Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) as the amount needed to avoid serious food insecurity and hardship to both farmers and consumers.

For example, the federal support will provide $50 million each to

Canada’s beef and pork sectors, whereas the CFA has calculated that $840 million is needed to assist those sectors alone.

Nor does the plan address ongoing and severe shortcomings in Business Risk Management programming.

Producers continue to call for meaningful

improvements. APAS has released its own series of policy recommendations that would adequately address the challenges facing Saskatchewan producers. These include, among other things, a call for government help to reduce premiums for the Western Livestock Insurance Program.

Saskatchewan ag scholarships announced

Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit has awarded four scholarships to Saskatchewan students pursing an agriculturerelated education.

“Each year the submissions to the Agriculture Student Scholarship Program show how passionate the province’s youth are about the agriculture industry,” Marit said.

“These young people show how bright the future is for agriculture in Saskatchewan.”

Mackenzie Van

Damme from Imperial received $4,000 toward her agriculture-related post-secondary studies as the 2020 grand-prize scholarship winner. Van Damme’s submission highlighted the importance of agriculture in her community, the evolution of her family’s grain farm and the unique opportunity producers have to connect with consumers.

“I appreciated the opportunity to share my food story and highlight the positive impact agriculture has in our com-

munity,” Van Damme said. “It’s important to help consumers better understand the work and passion that goes into producing food and I’m thankful I was able to do my part.”

Marci LeBlanc of Estevan, Isobel Kinash of Wishart and Makenzie Olson of Tisdale received scholarships of $2,000 each.

The Agriculture Student Scholarship Program identifies young people who are advocates for agricul-

ture and leverages their passion and ability to tell the story of Saskatchewan agriculture. This scholarship is funded through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a five-year $388 million investment in strategic initiatives by the federal and provincial governments.

For more information on the scholarship winners and their submissions, visit www.saskatchewan.ca/ag-publictrust.

Summer fair cancelled

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer It was news that most would have anticipated coming, as the Yorkton Exhibition Association announced last Friday that the 2020 Summer Fair and Outdoor Rodeo has been cancelled.

The Board of Directors of YEA made the decision after “much discussion and review of government guidelines.”

The cancellation came down to a matter of public safety.

“During this time of uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the health of everyone involved with an event of this size must and always will be paramount,” noted the release.

The YEA also noted they look forward to returning in 2021 with a summer fair that is “bigger and better than ever.”

Credit Unions ready to join forces The Board of Directors of Cornerstone, Horizon and Plainsview Credit Unions have unanimously approved the business case to proceed with a merger to partner together as a single credit union to drive benefits for members, employees and communities.

As part of the business case due diligence, the Boards announced the new credit union will operate as Cornerstone Credit Union and will be under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer, Doug Jones. Doug is currently the CEO of Cornerstone Credit Union. The inaugural Board Chair will come from either Horizon or Plainsview Credit Union and will be selected

during a meeting of the inaugural Board at a future date.

Cornerstone Credit Union currently has branches at Archerwill, Ituna, Kelliher, Rose Valley, Saltcoats, Theodore, Tisdale, Wynyard, and Yorkton.

Horizon Credit Union currently serves communities around the Qu’Appelle Valley at: Melville, Grayson, Grenfell, Neudorf and Wolseley.

Plainsview Credit Union currently offers services to members from nine physical branch location; Arcola, Kipling, Glenavon, Montmartre, Odessa, Vibank, Indian Head, Govan and Emerald Park.

The new credit union

will become the fourth largest in Saskatchewan with approximately $1.72 billion in assets, serving over 35,000 members in 23 communities throughout east-central Saskatchewan and will employ approximately 285 people.

The shared future vision of the three credit union partners is a new credit union that is operationally competitive and differentiated through its commitment to member wellbeing via trusted advice and service as well as concern for community. This new credit union will be more sustainable and better able to leverage opportunities and manage risks in the ever-changing financial services market.

The new credit union will present benefits to all stakeholders: members, employees and communities. Over time, the goal is for members to benefit through greater access and convenience, better advice, products and services along with improved technology.

Employees will benefit from having a broader network, expanded career opportunities and improved work experience through increased effectiveness and better technology. This opportunity will help ensure we can continue to support communities whether financially, as volunteers or with effective ways to provide advice and service into the future.

Each partnering cred-

Cornerstone CU it union will now begin a formal consultation process with members to provide an opportunity for members to learn more about the benefits of the proposed new credit union.

The final stage of approval will be a vote by members of each participating credit union to approve a resolution

recommended to them by their Board of Directors.

The merger vote will be an online vote during the week of June 15 – 19. Members who may not have online access will be given options to ensure they are able to cast their vote. If approved, the new credit union will be launched in January 2021

May is Mental Health Month in Saskatchewan

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer May is mental health month, and Partners in Mental Health and Wellbeing, part of SaskAbilities, is celebrating online. Each week of May will feature a different theme, with a wide range of information connected to that theme to help educate people on mental health and what they can do for themselves and others.

Kim Thomas, Program Coordinator, said that this is a virtual awareness campaign, planned around social media posts, events and interviews, with the goal of educating people through the different themes. The first theme was promoting the Canadian Mental Health Association, and celebrating their 100 year anniversary, themed around keeping connected.

“It’s all about having real conversations about how we’re really feeling.”

The second week, this week, is focused around mental health in the workplace, focused around coping mechanisms whether someone’s working in their regular office or at home.

The third week is focused around children and youth. There will be a yoga presentation for children and youth, and a presentation by Kerrie Shearer, guidance counselor at Sacred Heart High School, sharing tools and strategies to help youth.

The fourth week will be focused on self-care, with a virtual “Pound with Kaylee” class, as well as a virtual paint night being featured.

All activities and posts will be at the SaskAbilities - Yorkton Region Facebook page.

Of course this is a unique year, and Thomas said that the stresses surrounding living through a pandemic make it especially important for people to be mindful of their

mental health and wellbeing.

“I think it’s extremely important. Right now there’s just so much anxiety about the unknown.

There’s stress about peo-

ple working, or not working, or not having the support that they’re used to, and not being on their regular routine. That all affects our mental health in so many ways.”

It’s a family month, and Thomas said that kids are facing their own stress, especially with the early end of the school year, and routines being upended.

“It’s affecting all of us in so many different ways, so it needs to be out there, that awareness piece, that everybody, of all ages, needs to take care of themselves and

cope the way that makes sense.”

It’s different to do it entirely online, and took more innovation, and Thomas said it fits with Continued on Page 8

Also affected by the cancellation are PionEra in Saskatoon and Those Were The Days in North Battleford.

In addition, all in-Museum summer camps are also cancelled. Details will soon be releases regarding WDM virtual summer camp.

It is in the best interest of staff, volunteers and the visiting public to cancel summer events in 2020 due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, stated a release from the WDM. “These events are important community gatherings and not being able to go ahead with them this year is difficult. However, the safety of our staff, volunteer and visitors is of primary importance.” said Joan Kanigan, CEO in the release.

Brickspo a partnership with the Saskatchewan LEGO Users Group, in Moose Jaw is postponed. Organizers hope the event can take place in some format later in the fall.

The WDM is included in Phase 4 of the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan (https://bit. ly/3bP0gvy). While they do not yet know when Phase 4 of the plan will occur, the release noted social distancing and disinfecting requirements will remain in place.

ECIP week highlights continued support

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer Even with a crisis in the world, children are still growing and developing. Early Childhood Intervention Week is an opportunity to highlight the work that the Parkland Early Childhood Intervention

Program does, and this year it also is an opportunity to focus on how they have had to quickly change in order to meet the needs of families while also working remotely and maintaining social distancing.

Michelle Yaschuk with Parkland ECIP said that the week is about cele-

brating early childhood interventionists and the wide range of professionals which work with families to support the developmental needs of chil-

Parkland ECIP works with children ages 0-6 years old that are either experiencing or at risk of developmental delays.

Through assessments, activities and community resources, they help children and their families as they grow and develop.

Through the COVID-19 crisis, those assessments are being handled remotely, with parents sending videos of their children, and discussions happening over the phone, through video conference, text and online resources.

Yashcuk said through the crisis they are being creative, adapting traditional home visits to virtual visits.

“We are responding to new challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are responding with resilience, and we’re making families a priority despite barriers to services. We recognize that families with young children need support, and early childhood interventionists have adapted and they’re supporting families remotely.”

One of the challenges facing families is that many other supports are not available, whether that means support in childcare or other resources. Yaschuk said that this has highlighted

the need to keep support available to families as they are dealing with more difficulties through the crisis.

“Our emphasis is maintaining connections, offering a calm presence, and offering support based on the current needs of the family.

Keeping the dynamics of the parent-child relationship central.”

She said that both families and ECIP are finding ways to work from home through the crisis.

“We’re finding that virtual home visits are a promising opportunity to ensure that families receive vital supports in this challenging time.”

It has been a learning experience, and Yaschuk said that ECIP and families have learned together through the crisis. For many families, it’s their first time using FaceTime or other technology, for example, but that as they learn on the fly it’s becoming easier, and they’re better able to give advice to make the virtual visits more effective.

“We’ve seen success in providing services to families virtually.”

Celebrations for the week have had to change as well, and this year they will be sending out packages for families to help them have fun but also learn as well. It will

include things like crayons, toys, matching cards, glow sticks and ages and stages guides. The goal is to give kids a variety of fun activities that are still helpful in their development.

“Just a host of different fun activities for young children.”

The packages also include things for parents, in order to help them practice self-care, with things like candles and bath bombs to encourage parents to take time for themselves.

Yaschuk said that’s especially important now, because many parents are dealing with the stress of the pandemic overall and the changes that has brought with it.

“We’re constantly encouraging that with our families, ensuring they’re looking after themselves and taking a break, whatever that may look like. I know breaks aren’t looking the same as they did for families as they did in the past, but even if they can just get some alone time in their yard or their home, it’s very valuable.”

Families can still reach out to Parkland ECIP by calling 306-7866988 or visiting ecip.ca and they will help them navigate the needs of their family.

MENTAL HEALTH Continued from Page 7 society being ‘more comfortable with being uncomfortable’ and more comfortable with using technology.

“We’re working from home, and we have a lot of people we support. One of the things we’ve done is we have a Facebook group, doing virtual activities and weekly programming. As well, we do weekly check-ins with people we support. I’ve noticed that the one-onone individual time, I’m learning so much about the people I support in

ways I never even knew before, just having those one-on-one conversations.”

Part of the goal is to reach out to people who could be helped by the services they offer. People can call 1-833444-4126 or 306-621-1808 or email kthomas@saskabilities.ca if they want to have support with Partners in Mental Health and Well-being.

USask researchers and Saskatchewan Health launch online program to track ticks A new online program, eTick, has expanded into Saskatchewan, allowing University of Saskatchewan (USask) researchers and the province’s Ministry of Health to efficiently monitor ticks and inform residents of potential health risks.

People anywhere in the province will be able to take photos of ticks found on people or animals and upload them to the online database, where researchers will identify the tick within 24 business hours. The eTick platform will also provide an interactive map, updated in real time, identifying the location of tick submissions.

“Our goal is to provide

Saskatchewan residents with timely information about their ticks,” said Dr. Maarten Voordouw (PhD), who developed a Saskatchewan-focused tick surveillance web page, introducing the new program alongside Dr. Emily Jenkins (DVM, PhD).

Voordouw and Jenkins, both faculty members at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine (WCVM), will continue to accept physical tick specimens for identification this year.

“The individual making the submission will receive a prompt message with information on the tick species, guidance on protocols to follow in the event of a tick bite, and associated health

risk – if any,” said Priya Goundar, zoonotic/environment health consultant with the Government of Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan is the first Prairie province to join the national network. In previous years, labs at USask and the Roy Romanow Provincial Laboratory received tick submissions from residents by mail.

By 2021, the Ministry of Health’s goal is to use eTick as the only platform for public tick submissions in Saskatchewan.

U of S launches a COVID-19 Community Archive The University of Saskatchewan (USask) has launched a COVID19 Community Archive to document life in Saskatchewan during the global health crisis.

“We want to help capture the everyday experiences alongside the formal responses to COVID19,” said Dr. Erika Dyck (PhD), a USask history professor and Canada Research Chair in the History of Medicine.

As a community-driven initiative, the digital archive will include submissions from residents that chronicle individual or collective experiences. This includes photographs, social media posts, videos, creative

projects, email, blog entries, journals, and personal reflections.

“Beyond it being useful for future historians, it has also been comforting to share the various strategies for coping and helping each other during COVID-19,” said Dyck.

Through web archiving, interviews and other initiatives, the project team will also gather documentation such as news releases, policy changes, essential services declarations, and the VIDO-InterVac response.

“The internet allows us to collect material posted online, add metadata to help organize it

and preserve the digital texts and artifacts for future research,” said history professor Dr. Jim Clifford (PhD).

The purpose of the archive is to provide valuable source material for researchers—faculty, students, journalists, historians and writers— studying how the COVID19 pandemic has transformed the university and the province at large.

The project is a partnership between faculty in the Department of History in USask’s College of Arts and Science and units in the University Library, including University Archives and Special

Collections (UASC) and the Digital Research Centre (DRC).

“It will be exciting to see the archive develop into something that

can be used for everything from reflection to research for decades to come,” said Craig Harkema, co-director of the DRC.

The COVID-19 Community Archive content can be viewed and submitted online at covid19archive.usask.ca.

Bags reinterpret common material

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer When people buckle their seatbelt, they might not be looking at those belts with eyes for art. Nancy Logan from Burgis Beach saw opportunity in those belts, and over three years and 1,500 bags later, she has built a business out of that inspiration. She makes and sells bags at Buckle Up Bags.

The first bags were made out of reclaimed seatbelts from old cars, but the problem was that it was difficult and messy to get them, and the belts themselves would be dirty. Now Logan buys seatbelt seconds - belts that aren’t safe for use as actual seatbelts due to a flaw and uses those for the bags, meaning the bags are made out of material that would otherwise be sent to the landfill. She sews them together with an industrial sewing machine, and each is unique, whether due to the lining or the colours selected for the belts. She said that her fabric selections for the lining mean she gets as much of an interest in the interior of the bag as the

exterior.

Her creations are often bright and colorful, which might be a surprise to people used to the black in their own cars. But Logan’s sources are from all over the world, and it’s clear some places have a much more diverse selection of belts.

“I just made a teal purse for a lady and it matched the seatbelts in her own car.”

Seatbelts come with their own challenges from a design perspective. Unlike the cars they were originally meant for, they’re not very good at going around corners, so Logan has to work with straight lines. She also has to go through several layers, and said that she needs to use an industrial machine just because it can get tough. Logan designs all of her bags by herself, and she includes features like outside pockets - a rarity on bags of this type - because she wants them to be usable every day. She said that this is a practical reason behind her use of brightly colored lining - beyond looks, it means people can easily see inside.

The bags have sold around the globe, as far away as England and Australia, and Logan believes it’s partly because people are into recycling and up-cycling, ways to keep using material in unique and novel ways.

“They’re really durable, they’ll last a long time, so that’s appealing to people. And they’re really different, there’s nobody else in Saskatchewan making these, there’s only one other person in Canada making these bags, and mine are quite unique.”

She said that her challenge is making them feminine, since she does use what is an industrial material.

She said that she’s constantly thinking about colour combinations, patterns and designs for the next bag.

“I never stop thinking about purses!”

Cozy up to a slow-cooked meal Slow cookers are a handy tool for any home chef, particularly those who juggle busy daily schedules. With slow cookers, meals can be prepared in advance and then left to simmer for hours while they develop deep flavors as meats become tender and succulent.

When cooking recipes in a slow cooker, it’s best to choose cuts of meats and poultry that can stand up to long cook times. These cuts tend to be more fibrous and tough, but will tenderize with time. Short ribs, for example, are a prime option for slow cooking magic. They’re the star of this recipe for “Bacon, Onion & Stout Braised Short Ribs” from “CrockPot® 365 Year-Round Recipes” (Publications International, Ltd.) from The Crock-Pot Kitchens.

SHORT RIBS (Serves 4) •4 pounds bone-in beef short ribs, well trimmed •1 teaspoon salt, plus additional for seasoning

•1⁄2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus additional for seasoning •1 tablespoon vegetable oil •6 ounces thick-cut bacon cut into 1⁄4-inch dice •1 large onion, halved and cut into 1⁄4-inch slices •1 tablespoon tomato paste •2 tablespoons allpurpose flour •2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard •1 bottle (12 ounces) Irish stout •1 bay leaf •1 cup beef broth •2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley leaves •Hot mashed potatoes or cooked egg noodles (optional) Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until almost smoking. Working in batches, cook short ribs in skillet, turning to brown on all sides.

Transfer each batch to a slow cooker as it is finished. Wipe out pan with paper towels and return

Did you know?

Big game hunting is the most popular form of hunting, according to the 2016 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation.

Sponsored by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the survey found there were 9.2 million hunters who pursued big game such as deer and elk in 2016.

That makes big game hunting big business as well, as the survey found that big game-related expenditures for trips and equipment totaled $14.9 billion in 2016. As big as big game hunting is, 3.5 million hunters took time to hunt small game, which includes squirrels and rabbits. The third most popular type of hunting in the United States in 2016 was migratory bird hunting, which attracted 2.4 million hunters and generated $2.3 billion in bird-related trip and equipment revenue.

Bat “super immunity” may explain how bats carry coronaviruses—USask study A University of Saskatchewan (USask) research team has uncovered how bats can carry the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) coronavirus without getting sick— research that could shed light on how coronaviruses make the jump to humans and other animals.

Coronaviruses such as MERS, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), and more recently the COVID-19-causing SARS-CoV-2 virus, are thought to have originated in bats. While these viruses can cause serious and often fatal disease in people, for reasons not previously well understood, bats seem unharmed.

“The bats don’t get rid of the virus and yet don’t get sick. We wanted to understand why the MERS virus doesn’t shut down the bat immune responses as it does in humans,” said USask microbiologist Vikram Misra.

In research just published in Nature Scientific Reports, the team has demonstrated for the first time that cells from an insect-eating brown bat can be persistently infected with MERS coronavirus for months, due to important adaptations from both the bat and the virus working together.

“Instead of killing bat cells as the virus does with human cells, the MERS coronavirus enters a long-term relationship with the host, maintained by the bat’s unique ‘super’ immune

system,” said Misra, corresponding author on the paper. “SARS-CoV-2 is thought to operate in the same way.”

Misra said the team’s work suggests that stresses on bats—such as wet markets, other diseases, and possibly habitat loss—may have a role in coronavirus spilling over to other species.

“When a bat experiences stress to their immune system, it disrupts this immune system-virus balance and allows the virus to multiply,” he said.

The research was carried out at USask’s Vaccine and Infectious Disease OrganizationInternational Vaccine Centre (VIDO-InterVac), one of the world’s largest containment Level 3 research facilities, by a team of researchers from USask’s Western College of Veterinary Medicine and VIDO-InterVac. “We see that the MERS coronavirus can very quickly adapt itself to a particular niche, and although we do not completely understand what is going on, this demonstrates how coronaviruses are able to jump from species to species so effortlessly,” said VIDOInterVac scientist Darryl Falzarano, who co-led the bat study, developed the first potential treatment for MERS-CoV, and is leading VIDO-InterVac’s efforts to develop a vaccine against COVID-19.

So far, the SARSCoV-2 virus has infected more than 3.5 million people worldwide and killed seven per cent of those infected. In con-

Photo by David Stobbe trast, the MERS virus infected nearly 2,500 people in 2012 but killed one in every three people infected. There is no vaccine for either SARSCoV-2 or MERS. While camels are the known intermediate hosts of MERS-CoV, bats are suspected to be the ancestral host.

Coronaviruses rapidly adapt to the species they infect, Misra said, but little is known on the molecular interactions of these viruses with their natural bat hosts. A 2017 USask-led study showed that bat coronaviruses can persist in their natural bat host for at least four months of hibernation.

When exposed to the MERS virus, bat cells adapt—not by producing inflammation-causing proteins that are hallmarks of getting sick, but rather by maintaining a natural antiviral response, a function which shuts down in other species, including humans. Simultaneously, the MERS virus also adapts to the bat host cells by very rapidly mutating one specific gene, Misra said.

Operating together, these adaptations result in the virus remaining long-term in the bat but being rendered harmless until something—such as disease or other stressors—upsets this delicate

equilibrium.

Next, the team will turn its focus to understanding how the batborne MERS virus adapts to infection and replication in camelid (a group of even-toed ungulates that includes camels) and human cells.

“This information may be critical for predicting the next bat virus that will cause a pandemic,” said Misra.

Lead researchers on the paper were Misra’s former PhD students Arinjay Banerjee and Sonu Subudhi, who are now at McMaster University and Massachusetts General Hospital, respectively.

Other team members

included researchers Noreen Rapin and Jocelyne Lew, as well as summer student Richa Jain.

The research was funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and the Government of Saskatchewan through Innovation Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Innovation and Opportunity Scholarship, as well as by USask.
