Professional photographer returns to hometown Courtesy of Kamsack Times At a time when nearly everyone is carrying a camera, or more specifically, a phone containing a camera, a Kamsack man is making his livelihood as a professional photographer.

Stephen Dutcheshen recently acted on a 20year dream and returned to his hometown after having studied, lived and worked in the city and is continuing his business Stephen Dutcheshen Photography, working from his home in Kamsack.

A 2001 graduate of the Kamsack Comprehensive Institute, the son of Bill and Carole Dutcheshen of Kamsack, Stephen admits to having “a passion” for photography which im-

Stephen Dutcheshen mediately after graduation from KCI had pulled him into a photography certification program at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology and

then to the Alberta College of Art and Design, which is now known as the Alberta University of Arts.

“At school in Al-

berta, it was all photography that I studied,” Dutcheshen said recently after having spent an afternoon taking pictures at the Town of Kamsacksponsored program held in honour of the 2020 KCI graduates.

After a few years studying in Alberta, Dutcheshen went to California for two years to attend the Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, where again all his studies were photography-based.

Dutcheshen returned to Calgary in 2007 and for two years he worked with former Kamsack resident Bud Moore who had developed a reputation as a photographer with his business Bud Moore Photography. He then began his own business and has now been incorporated for 10 years.

Asked how a person

can make a living at a time when nearly everyone is carrying a camera or a phone containing a camera, Dutcheshen gave an analogy saying that just because one might own a state-of-theart table saw does not mean he or she can construct fine woodwork.

“I have studied, I have the knowledge and I have the tools of the trade, such as better lenses and high end cameras which allow me to do many more things than what can be done with less dynamic equipment.”

Dutcheshen’s business has concentrated on high-resolution images usually “product shoots” for corporate clients. For example, he has worked for realtors, taking pictures of buildings for publicity purposes and has worked with Brandt

Tractors, photographing a line of new tractors.

“I have an eye for composing a good picture,” he said. “I tend to see things differently.”

Dutcheshen said that living in a small town in Saskatchewan should not be much of a change from working in Calgary.

“I plan to focus on family events, real estate and sporting events,” he said. “I currently have a booking for a 50th birthday party.”

Dutcheshen explains how he takes the photographs and then emails the high-resolution results to the client who then takes the digital files to a place like WalMart or Staples to have prints made.

Persons wishing to contact Dutcheshen may send an email to foto4X5@gmail.com.

Canora SARCAN busy at record pace since re-opening Courtesy of Canora Courier Since SARCAN depots re-opened on June 15 across Saskatchewan, they have achieved record recycling numbers.

At the Canora depot, numbers of recycled containers received more than doubled in the following two weeks versus the same period in 2019, according to Ashley Derkatch, supervisor.

“In the first week after re-opening our volume was 111,000 containers, compared to 45,000 last year,” said Derkatch.

“That number went up to 130,000 containers in the second week, after we handled 50,000 during the same time period last

year.”

Derkatch said the Canora staff has been increased to eight since the re-opening, with one employee added before the opening and another brought in once it was realized how busy it had become.

Social distancing guidelines have changed the way things are done at SARCAN, but most customers have been understanding through the transition, according to Derkatch.

Strict physical distancing guidelines have been implemented, with limits on the number of customers allowed inside the depot at one time.

Derkatch said this has resulted in an average wait time of 15 minutes

on most days.

There are physical barriers separating customers from employees at container chutes and at customer stations. Canora has opened a third chute to handle bulk items.

Employees have been provided with expanded personal protective equipment and there is frequent sanitization of frequently touched surfaces.

Employees acting as recycling guides help customers through the return options and explain SARCAN’s safety measures.

Derkatch said even with the numerous changes, things have been going well for the most part at the Canora location.

“Before COVID we had two people doing the counting of incoming recycled materials, but due to social distancing it has to be done by one person now, which adds time to the process,” she said. “We really appreciate the patience shown by the majority of our customers.

SARCAN has been handling increased volume at all locations,

Everyone at the Canora SARCAN Depot was practising social distancing as customers dropped off materials for recycling on July 7. After being closed for nearly three months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Canora depot has been extremely busy since re-opening on June 15. In the following two weeks, more than double the number of materials were recycled over the same period in 2019. so our processing plant is finding it a challenge to keep up with sending out trailers, but we’re making it work,” she said.

Across the province, SARCAN volumes have increased by approximately 30 per cent, said Sean Homenick of Saskatoon, SARCAN manager of communications and culture.

“We had people waiting in lines up to four hours to get into the bigger centres,” said Homenick. “The Drop Continued on Page 3

Preeceville and District Heritage Museum re-opens Courtesy of Preeceville Progress The Preeceville and District Heritage Museum has re-opened to the public.

“There was a delay due to the pandemic but we have now been allowed to reopen as part of the Re-opening Saskatchewan. We have spent the time thoroughly cleaning the museum and painting the ramp,” said Agnes Murrin, museum chairperson.

The hours will remain the same: Tuesday to Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m.

Due to COVID-19 the museum had to institute the following rules: • Social distancing will be in place, one

family group in the museum at one time.

• There will be a sanitizing station for hands at the entrance.

• Admission will remain the same: adults $5.00, $3 for children under 12, and a yearly membership is $10.00, exact change please (summer student curator will not have a float to make change).

Alternately, donations are accepted.

• Please no touching of the artifacts. A lot of the museum’s artifacts are old and do not take kindly to sanitizing solution.

• Showcases tops, washrooms and door knobs will be sanitized between guests.

The Preeceville and District Heritage Museum has re-opened to the public with new artifacts to explore.

• No large gatherings this year.

“We hope you will come and enjoy your museum. We will do our best to ensure the safety of our guests and summer student curator,” said Murrin.

There have been some changes to the museum

while it was forced to remain closed.

The military room has been completely renovated.

There have been some additional mannequins added to better display the uniforms. The wall artifacts have all been positioned for better access and readability.

The general store has some beautiful showcases new to the museum which are quite old.

“They look like you are entering a country general store of your youth,” said Murrin.

Additionally, there are a lot of other new artifacts in the store.

“We have rearranged the existing showcases to other rooms and have added additional shelving. We hope you enjoy the changes and as usual welcome your comments. Our summer student curator, Hannah Kidder has agreed to return this year. We are pleased she waited for our delayed reopening,” stated Murrin.

“We are working on our outdoor landscaping and will be doing some additional outdoor painting over the summer. Some additional perennials have been added and our flowers are flourishing.”

If anyone has any artifacts to donate or has any questions or concerns they may contact the museum at 306-547-2774 or anyone on its volunteer board: Agnes Murrin, Sharon Draper, Joan Peel, Darlene Medlang, Shirley Lowe, Donna Chalupiak, Carol Gawrelitza, Sharon Prystay and Marion Smale.

“Have a healthy and safe summer,” concluded Murrin.

Regionalization trend continues with SaskWater - project at Melville

By Brian Zinchuk, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Estevan Mercury) Regina – SaskWater tabled its 2019-20 Annual

Report on July 7, which highlighted the completion of a regional water system for Melville and taking over Meadow Lake’s system.

“2020 was a strong

year for this Crown corporation.” Minister Responsible for SaskWater Bronwyn Eyre said. “Its success is part of an overriding commitment, by our

SARCAN Continued from Page 2 and Go system used to make up two to three per cent of the volume of recycled material but now has increased to half that volume. Individuals have definitely started to use the system of tagging the bags and leaving them for the staff to count at a later date. We try to get at the bags as quickly as possible but there is a backlog. The extra volume of numbers has caused more staff to be hired in each depot across Saskatchewan.

“We’re pleased to report that no customers or staff have reported coming down with COVID-19 since the reopening, which is the most important thing to us.”

Homenick said they are always open to suggestions.

Surveys are available for staff and customers where ideas can be shared for possibly improving the SARCAN experience in the future.

Since re-opening on June 15, the new position of recycling guide has been added at the Canora depot to help customers get in and out of the depot as quick as possible. On July 7, Melanie Hill was providing assistance for Bob Kolodziejski, left, and Dennis Johnston.

was funded in part by the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan through the Clean Water and Wastewater Fund.

In 2020 SaskWater executed a significant purchase agreement with the City of Meadow Lake for its water treatment plant, together with a 30-year water supply agreement. The corporation took over operation of the system in January, 2020. Meadow Lake is the sixth city to be served by SaskWater.

These two projects represent a significant portion of the $24.4 million that SaskWater invested in capital projects in 2019-20.

The corporation also completed the design work for an $8.47 million upgrade to the City of Melfort’s regional water treatment plant and a $3.6 million sewage lagoon expansion in Pierceland, both of which are currently under construc-

government and Crown corporations, to the people and businesses of Saskatchewan to foster economic growth and build strong communities.”

SaskWater generated total earnings of $8.5 million in 2019-20, outpacing earnings in previous years. The Crown corporation paid a dividend of $4.17 million to the province.

In March, 2020, SaskWater commissioned the new Melville Regional Water Supply System.

Eyre said, “Melville was an important milestone for the crown Corporation. It commissioned the new regional water supply system there. It has a new water treatment plant, supply wells, well control building and water supply pipeline.

She added it provides a good, safe, sustainable water supply for Melville and area.

tion.

These projects are receiving funding from the New Building Canada Fund, a costsharing program that provides both provincial and federal funding.

Asked if regional systems are a trend for SaskWater, Eyre said, “I think SaskWater is looking certainly at regionalization as a model. And I think one of the points made to me in conversation over the last few months was that having good water, like a regional water system, is good for the economy.

It’s good for attracting people to areas. It’s good for growth, and, of course, that makes complete eminent sense.”

She expects more emphasis on regionalization and do a maximising regional models.

“I think that’s a really positive thing for growth and local economies, to make sure that the water is good and sustainable and safe.”

EDITORIAL PM’s involvement in WE worthy of criminal investigation Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is under ethics investigation for a third time during his tenure as Emperor of Canada, this time for funneling $900-million to WE (which doesn’t sound like much of a charity to me if I’m being honest) that had paid members of his family $300,000 for speaking engagements, even though WE doesn’t pay its speakers. If you want to get into the nuts and bolts of this, it’s worthy of a criminal investigation but so too was SNC Lavalin and that went nowhere because Trudeau says he was standing up for Canadian (Quebec) jobs.

I don’t think anything will become of this even though it has all the makings of an ordinary citizen sitting in a jail cell.

Trudeau is also in charge of a record $360+ billion deficit. To offer perspective on that, it was only a few years ago the entire Canadian budget was about $360 billion. But, again, does anyone in Canada care?

No, it doesn’t appear so.

The biggest news of the week was Andrew Scheer not wearing a mask for a few minutes at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport.

I guess I’m still at a loss as to why we need to find people who are positive for coronavirus but not sick. I realize there is that philosophy of being an unknown spreader so the message to everyone has been to assume you have the virus and that’s the best way to protect others. That’s since been upgraded to ‘wear a mask’. But, if we go back over the course of time and think about this, I have a question for the audience: raise your hand if you ever, knowingly, infected another person with a sickness.

Any sickness. Any person. Not just grandma.

Chances are nobody would raise their hand.

What most people in society would be most guilty of is conducting daily tasks such as working and shopping while they feel less than normal health. If we just

MIKE STACKHOUSE mikestackhouse@hotmail.com

Stackhouse Soapbox trained everyone to stay home when they don’t feel good as opposed to this silly notion that an asymptomatic person is some sort of super spreader, we’d be just fine as a society and could go back to normal.

If you really think hard on this, finding asymptomatic people is a lot like running endless tests to see if someone has cancer. We just don’t do that unless there is a sign of it or sometimes it can be found by accident and I’m in favor of running covid tests on all people who have to go to the hospital for an ailment. But lining people up like they are in bread lines (which we will be if we keep this economic destruction going for a few more months) just to see if they are positive for a virus that does no harm to them is pointless. Don’t forget, WHO has said asymptomatic people are not significant spreaders. It’s insane to act sick if you aren’t.

This reminds me of a time earlier this year when I called my family doctor to see if I could be booked in for a physical. I was told that they don’t do those anymore because there was no advantage to checking you over if you feel perfectly fine.

NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnson tested positive for coronavirus last Friday. By the following Wednesday (5 days later) he was fully cleared with back to back negative tests within a twenty-four hour period.

Remarkably, Johnson returned from this near death experience to place 18th at the race in Kentucky on Sunday.

Around Yorkton, most of the stores have given

up on this whole cleanliness thing. Almost none of them have ‘real’ hand sanitizer anymore. It’s just water with some deodorant in it.

The mask thing is odd too. We’ve known the health reasons for masks for many, many years. I, admittedly, don’t know them but whatever they were a year ago should be what they are today and there shouldn’t be a debate about it. I did read a story that said masks have almost no use whatsoever but if we suddenly allowed medical people like surgeons, dentists, and nurses to take them off and never wear them that would be viewed as a step backwards as far as safety is concerned so while it doesn’t help, it also doesn’t hurt for these professionals to wear them and there is nothing wrong with a false sense of security for a person in a dental chair.

Frankly, I don’t know what to believe aside from the fact I maintain if you aren’t sick, don’t wear one. If you are sick, stay home. If you aren’t sure then stay four to six feet away from others when out in public.

Simple stuff.

Imagine going to most retail locations wearing a mask even a year ago.

Workers would be panicked thinking you are there to rob the place.

I have to admit if I’m forced to wear a mask, there’s a possibility I’m going to make sure I’ve got some other items on that make my identity difficult to distinguish just for fun and games.

Nice person mentions this week: Darcy McLean, Matthew Hrynkiw, Boyd Metzler, Andrea Nicholl, and Kristy Cmoc.

Keep the border closed for a while yet There is pressure, largely south of the border - including from the U.S. congress - to reopen the border between Canada and the U.S. I understand the sentiment, because I was originally planning a trip to Texas in September and that sounds a lot more fun than what we’re actually doing during this scheduled time off, which is painting a bedroom. I will have in-laws down there and I’d like to visit them, especially the ones I haven’t met yet.

However, as much as I understand a desire to reopen the border, I have to make it clear that there is no question that the border needs to remain firmly closed, and it can’t re-open until America has its act together when it comes to COVID-19.

The thing with living in Yorkton is that we’ve been largely spared from the effects of the virus, and while part of that is pure luck, part of that is doing what we can to minimize the risk overall.

The gradually lifting lockdowns have been a massive hassle for everyone, but they’re also a big reason why there are relatively few cases here.

And a great example of why they were necessary can be seen just by taking a glance down south.

America is not doing well, to put it mildly. The state of Arizona has the highest per-capita infection rate in the world.

Florida recently announced the largest one-day jump in cases

DEVIN WILGER

Thinking I do with words... yet, with over 15,000 cases. There are over 3 million cases and over 130,000 deaths, and that’s just as I type this. It’s going badly, in other words.

The only way to keep Canada’s infection rates reasonable is to limit the potential sources of infection. Among Canadians, we’ve been pretty good at that, and part of that is limiting travel to places where they haven’t had nearly as much success.

One could argue for protocols and best practices for travel to allow the border to reopen, but let’s be blunt. That hasn’t happened in America, and because of that we can’t trust the country to enact them before their residents cross the border.

There is something ironic about the increasingly protectionist U.S. trying to pressure others into opening their border.

If the tables were turned, if Canada was heavily infected while America had infection rates at a more manageable level, they wouldn’t be nearly as eager to open the border. This is the country that elected a President

who promised to build a wall on their southern border, demanding an open border is pretty rich coming from them.

Right now, the priority needs to be on Canadian people, and that means, Continued on Page 5

Solar power generation on stream at Preeceville Power has announced the first project to come into service through the Power Generation Partner Program (PGPP).

The S Elect 284-kilowatt solar project completed commissioning on June 26, with the 20-year contract supply period beginning on June 27.

The facility connects to provincial electrical grid at the Stenen substation, which is located near Preeceville.

The PGPP provides customers with the opportunity to generate power through renewable generation, such as solar, or carbon neutral non-renewable generation, such as flare gas.

SaskPower recently announced the third and final intake for the program, which will take place in October 2020.

The Power Generation Partner Program will accept applications for the third and final year of the program from Oct 22 to Oct 30, 2020. “Year three of PGPP builds on the positive feedback we have received from customers participating in year

one and year two of the program,� said Shawn Schmidt, SaskPower’s Vice-President of Distribution and Customer Services in a recent release. “At the completion of the program, there will be up to 105 megawatts of customer-generated power added to the grid. This will support SaskPower’s goal of reducing carbon emissions to at least 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030 and provide an opportunity for our oil and gas customers to reduce their emissions.�

The PGPP has an annual cap of 10 MW per year for renewable technologies and 25 MW per year for carbon neutral non-renewable technologies. Eligible renewable technologies include solar, biomass, biogas, hydro and geothermal, with projects ranging from 100 kW up to 1 MW. Eligible carbon neutral technologies include flare gas and waste heat recovery, with projects ranging from 100 kW up to 5 MW. PGPP was originally approved for two years with an optional third

eration will continue to play a role in our power generation mix, and the many learnings from delivering PGPP will be beneficial for the development of

Schmidt said.

Potential applicants must book a pre-application meeting prior to October 2, 2020 to be eligible to apply.

In total, the PGPP will add up to 105 megawatts of renewable and carbon-neutral electricity to Saskatchewan’s generation mix. — Submitted

Performance and eďŹƒciency doesn’t stop at the ďŹ nish line.

BORDER Continued from Page 4 to be blunt, we have to keep the border as locked down as possible to ensure we don’t put our people at risk.

We can start the reopening process among ourselves, of course, depending on the level of infection.

Saskatchewan, for example, has been pretty good about keeping rates down.

But that also puts us more at risk when encountering people who haven’t had any success limiting the rates of infection themselves. That makes it even more important to keep border traffic limited, because a rogue infected American could actually do a ton of damage as we open up. We can’t safely open the border until they get a handle on the virus south of it. Since there’s no indication they’re taking it seriously yet, there’s no way the border can open.

Beware of bears this summer With the summer season now upon us, the Ministry of Environment is reminding residents to be bear aware.

Saskatchewan has a healthy black bear population, so it is not unusual to see bears in the wild at this time of year as they establish new territory.

They are looking for food and are attracted to new scents.

Bears have been known to wander through communities and campgrounds, so proper food storage, cooking methods and garbage handling are essential for safe camping in bear country.

Bears are ruled by their stomachs and are intelligent ani-

mals. If they cannot find food, they will leave the area.

Bears that have been fed lose their natural fear of humans. When bears start to associate their food with humans, they become a nuisance

Surface Area 279 sq.km.

and a public safety concern.

The ministry encourages everyone to be bear aware by removing bear attractants in their area.

At 93 kilometres long, Last Mountain Lake is the largest naturallyformed lake in southern Saskatchewan. The north end of Last Mountain Lake is not exceptionally deep. It is, however, extremely productive.

The wetlands in the north make up part of the Last Mountain Lake National Wildlife Area.

The north end of Last Mountain Lake has some prime pike and walleye areas in the early spring.

Big Arm Bay, on the western side, is a perfect place for early seasonal fish.

After the spring spawn for walleye, local anglers suggest trolling bottom bouncers and spinners, because they’ll be all over looking for food. In the early season when the water is clear, nickel, copper and other flashy colours are your best bet, moving into glow-in-thedark and flourescents when the algae bloom and the water clouds up.

In the summer, anglers should look for points and transitions moving shallow to deep.

Horses gave way to cars, and landlines are giving way to wireless for SaskTel

By Brian Zinchuk, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Estevan Mercury) REGINA – Horses gave way to cars, and landlines are giving way to wireless. That’s been a continual trend for SaskTel, which released its annual report on July 8.

In 2019-20, SaskTel’s net income came in at $119.8 million and the company’s operating revenues were $1,283.7 million, with a year-overyear revenue growth of $5.8 million.

There was a reflection of continued wireless adoption and increased revenue from wireline growth services.But there’s also been a significant number of “cord cutters” each year.

Minister Responsible for SaskTel Don Morgan said, “I’m astounded by the number of people that have cut they’re all landlines but I think it’s will be made up for in other services that are being provided.”

SaskTel president and CEO Doug Burnett

added, “What we have seen over the last three four years is almost a straight line of cord cutters on the legacy side.”

He noted landlines have seen “about $20 million a year of lost revenue, not insignificant.”

The Crown corporation takes that into account every year in terms of its plans, and has been successful in replacing that revenue with other managed and emerging technologies, including internet and wireless, in particular.

Burnett said, “We are forecasting and planning for the fact that we will continue to see that decline, and that we will need to continue to find new managed and emerging technologies and ways to replace that revenue through internet growth.”

That transition is shown in the breakdown of revenue streams.

SaskTel’s revenue is composed primarily of wireless network services and equipment revenue (44.9 per cent), maxTV service, internet and data (29.4 per cent), and local access,

enhanced services, and long distance (15.2 per cent).

Burnett said, “Data use on cellular is growing at a rate of 20 per cent, per year which is huge. So, you know, while one service is certainly on the decline, others are very much still on a growth trajectory.”

Asked about how Canadian data rates are higher than other places in the world, and if they would be coming down for SaskTel, Burnett said competition would be the big factor. He noted there is some pressure from the federal government, which sent a federal mandate letter to the big three players – Telus, Rogers and Bell, but not SaskTel – to reduce bills by 25 per cent over the next three years. “I suspect that you’re going to see competition and regulation continue to regulate prices and drive prices down,” he said.

Morgan said, “Throughout the year, SaskTel invested approximately $263 million in capital improvements across

Grass salvage of ditches taking place The Government of Saskatchewan is reminding producers they can begin to salvage hay in provincial highway ditches.

“The annual hay salvage and mowing pro-

gram provides many benefits by taking into account the needs of area land owners, producers and travellers,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Greg Ottenbreit said.

“The benefits include improved sightlines for drivers, better snow storage during winter months, a neat appearance and better weed control.”

the province to continue to prepare its networks for future demand and to deliver a quality user experience for the people of Saskatchewan.”

“As we enter a new decade, we find ourselves on the cusp of monumental change in our industry as digital, web-based, and emerging technologies continue to reshape the way we operate and interact with our customers, vendors and other partners,” Burnett said. “We recognize that we must evolve our business to support customers’ shifting expectations and to continue providing exceptional service in a digital world. Digital transformation continues to be the main driver reshaping customer and employee experiences across our business.”

SaskTel’s return on equity (ROE) is below the target of 11.1 per cent, due to the recognition of an impairment loss in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019-20 and its resulting impact on net income. Excluding the impairment loss that was primarily related to impacts of COVID-19, ROE would have been

on target at 11.1 per cent.

“The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the importance of digital and data driven communications and reaffirmed SAS tells focus on enhancing broadband connectivity in the province,” Morgan said, noting that SaskTel is estimating $10.7 million impact due to the pandemic (much of which occurred after the March 31 fiscal year end).

As many as 90 per cent of SaskTel’s own employees were working from home during the lockdown this past spring.

Burnett said, “The pandemic has undoubtedly had a very significant impact on SaskTel and in a number of ways, so as the minister indicated, it is clearly going to have a financial impact on us. The exact amount is a little uncertain still but you know it will depend on the duration of the pandemic, and the impact that it has on the broader economy in the province of Saskatchewan, and of course, customers spending.”

He added other impacts for SaskTel include having to manage a network where

many of its customers have moved from their business office to their residence and ensuring that it could meet the demands for data and conference calling.

“I’m very proud to say that we did, I think an outstanding job of continuing to provide essential services and at that time,” Burnett said.

“We have, as was mentioned earlier, foregone some significant revenue in favor of doing our best to protect some of the more vulnerable customers in our customer base by waiving things like data overages and deferring interest payments and those types of initiatives.”

The waiving of data overage fees resulted in roughly a $600,000 hit per month. That waiver ended in early June.

SaskTel paid dividends of $107.2 million to Crown Investment Corporation during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020, a decrease of $9.1 million from the previous year. During the last five fiscal years, SaskTel paid a total of $373.4 million in dividends while maintaining a debt ratio within industry standards.

Weekend ride The wonderful weather Saturday was perfect for a horse ride. So, that is exactly what Kristina, Jillian and Emma Just did for some morning relaxation on their farm west of Yorkton. The trio rode some fence line, checking for breaks and checked the crops to see how they were progressing, on the way to the warm up shack they use in the winter for sleigh rides.

The ride was an easy way to social distance during the pandemic and still be outside having some summer fun. Jillian rode Barney, a Belgian, while Emma was on her paint mare Rhea while Kristina was on the Fjord Buddy.

Beginning today, anyone can cut and bale hay in provincial highway ditches without permission from the property-owner, as long as no operations have already begun.

It is recommended that participants contact their local Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure office to provide contact information and limits on where they are salvaging hay to avoid disputes.

All hay bales must be removed by August 8, otherwise they may be removed and disposed.

After that, bales must be removed immediately.

The ministry may also remove and dispose of hay bales in locations deemed unsafe for drivers.

Local U15 AA Expos back on diamond

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The boys are back on the diamonds.

After the uncertainty of COVID-19 put the 2020 summer season in question for minor baseball teams in Yorkton, Saskatchewan and Canada, at least some teams, are back in action.

The Parkland 15U

AA Expos played its first games of the year in Yorkton Saturday, hosting the Lumsden Cubs in a doubleheader.

The visitors won game one 9-8.

Expos manager Kelly Hubic said the Expos were down 9-5 but had got it back to a one-run deficit when time ran out on their comeback bid. “The game was called

due to the two-hour time allowance,� he said, explaining the game was on the clock because the second contest had to be played.

Colton Hubic was the yeoman on the mound for the Expos tossing 4.2 innings in the loss, with four others pitching the rest of the game. Hubic had an eight strikeout contest.

Offensively Xage Miraflor from Sturgis hit a home run for the Expos. “He just clocked to centrefield,� said coach Hubic, adding it was unfortunate the team couldn’t celebrate the knock in normal fashion because of COVID-19 precautions.

Joey Zarowny of Yorkton and Parker Lowenberg of Grenfell

had good games too, noted their coach.

The Expos are definitely a regional team with players from Sturgis, Canora, Melville, Saltcoats, Grenfell and Yorkton among the 13 on the roster.

Things went better for the locals in game two as the Expos emerged with an 8-6 win, playing a full seven innings.

Kimnuel Albarracin from Sturgis tossed 4.1 innings, allowing eight hits, five runs, and striking out five for the Expos.

Chaz Jaeb, also of Sturgis went 2.2 innings.

Next up for the team will be another home doubleheader as they host the Regina Athletics Saturday at Jubilee Park with games at noon at 3 p.m.

Building next gen ‘smart pill’ gut-imaging device with AI sensors for improved cancer detection A team led by University of Saskatchewan (USask) researcher Dr. Khan Wahid (PhD) has been awarded $250,000 from the federal New Frontiers in Research Fund to create a new pillsized capsule that uses artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled sensing to diagnose gastrointestinal cancers and bleeding earlier and more precisely than is currently possible.

Now in prototype development, SmartCap is a new generation diagnostic tool that addresses shortcomings of the 20-year-old wireless capsule endoscopy technology currently used to detect gastrointestinal malignancies and hemorrhages. SmartCap is able to generate locationspecific data on tumours and bleeding that results in greater diagnostic accuracy.

With a unique tracking system developed by Wahid’s team, doctors will be able to precisely trace the entire intestinal voyage of the smart capsule due to tiny wireless “intelligent” biosensors that detect and analyze targeted biomarkers (disease indicators) and communicate with external devices such as a com-

puter.

“This new tool could double gastrointestinal cancer survival rates worldwide,” said Wahid, a professor of electrical and computer engineering in the USask College of Engineering. “This is the first fully traceable ‘smart’ pill for targeted endoscopy (a non-surgical way to look inside the body) that can be personalized to the patient.”

The World Health Organization estimates there were 4.6 million new cases of gastrointestinal cancers and 3.3 million related deaths in 2018. About two-thirds of these cancers are detected at an advanced stage, but with earlier diagnoses and treatment, the survival rate of patients almost doubles to 83 per cent.

“The New Frontiers in Research program brings disciplines together in non-traditional ways to explore new directions that push the boundaries of research and have potential for significant impact,” said USask Vice-President Research Karen Chad. “Under professor Wahid’s leadership, this exciting biomedical engineering project for improved cancer diagnosis taps into the innovative and

Svetlana Yanushkevich (PhD) of the University of Calgary, an expert in AI, is collaborating on the project.

While wireless capsule technology using tiny cameras are currently the only option for capturing images inside the three- to 10-metrelong small intestine, current devices cannot be tracked in the gut precisely, making it impossible for doctors to pinpoint the site of a cancer, polyp, or hemorrhage.

Involuntary movements of the small intestine make it further difficult to determine the capsule’s progress.

“It’s like trying to track something in the dark with no reference point, or where the reference points themselves are constantly moving,” said Wahid. “That’s why there has been no change to the hardware and localization side of wireless capsule technology in 20 years, even though image quality, wireless transmission, diagnostic tools, and software have all improved.”

In designing SmartCap, Wahid’s team is taking a “lab-on-achip” approach—integrating several laboratory functions including blood sample analysis on

Also on the team are co-principal investigator Dr. Kiven Lukong (PhD), an associate professor of biochemistry, microbiology and immunology, and Dr. Paul Babyn (MD), professor of medical imaging, both in the College of Medicine, as well as Dr. Francis Bui (PhD), associate professor in electrical and computer engineering.

A tiny unit for measuring velocity and capsule orientation provides data to assist with localization of a tumour.

To eliminate possible false positives, a tiny standard camera is integrated, but will remain mostly in sleep mode, activated only if the AI chip suspects a malignancy.

The team has applied to patent the multispectral array, and plans to follow suit with the fluorescence detection and localization technologies, as well as the SmartCap itself.

“If this is successful, you could use this technology in many other ingestible sensor and implants, even adapt it for use in underground mining and drilling, or in the oil industry to detect and localize pipeline leaks,” said Wahid, who expects to have a SmartCap prototype ready in two years.

The next step will be to find an industry partner to invest in bringing the new product to a wireless capsule endoscopy market that’s expected to reach $650 million this year and grow rapidly with the aging global population.

With more than twice as much battery power as conventional wireless capsules, SmartCap’s 24-hour battery power makes detection possible right to the end of the intestinal journey, with improved results due to low-power fluorescence sensors, multispectral light sensors, and localization technology—all being developed in Wahid’s lab.

The on-board fluorescence sensors detect the glow from special dyes injected into a patient to bind with specific cancer cells, identifying the cancer and its location in real time. The multispectral sensor array determines hemoglobin concentration and oxygen saturation of blood passing through a notch on the capsule by analyzing the colour of the blood, indicating whether the bleeding is active, chronic, or a clot. Deep learning AI techniques are used to improve accuracy.

Tiny image sensors attached to the capsule’s side walls and “digital image correlation technology”—borrowed from the technique used in an optical computer mouse to correlate its movement with the cursor—track

Canola protection from sclerotinia

By Clint Jurke Should I spray for sclerotinia stem rot?

Canola growers in Western Canada are often challenged to find a satisfactory answer to this annual question. In reality, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need very much infection to justify a fungicide application.

When considering the total cost, a fungicide would only have to preserve around three bu./ ac. of yield to break even.

This economic threshold should be easily achieved in a high-yield canola crop growing in an area with a history of sclerotinia stem rot.

The general rule is that yield loss is roughly half of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;incidence rateâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is the percentage of plants infected in a field. If 10 per cent of plants are infected, yield loss will be five per cent. For a 50 bu./ac. canola crop, the three bu./ ac. threshold would be a six per cent loss â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so that means around 12 per cent of plants would have to be infected. With moderate amounts of moisture before, during and after flowering, this 12 per cent incidence rate could be fairly common in any canola growing area of Western Canada.

What is a moderate amount of moisture? Kelly Turkington, plant pathologist with Agriculture and AgriFood Canada, provides this rough guide: Rainfall amounts of least 5-10mm more than two days a week and daily minimum relative humidity

(RH) over 80 per cent is enough for the sclerotinia stem rot infection cycle.

Basically, if topsoil underneath the canola canopy has moisture for most or all of the day, this promotes germination of sclerotia and production of apothecia â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the tiny mushrooms that release sclerotinia spores. Continued humid conditions in the canopy will provide the moisture needed for infection.

The decision to apply a fungicide to prevent sclerotinia stem rot may be generalized by answering these four questions: Have environmental conditions prior to flowering been moist enough for apothecia development and survival? (A few rains and humidity commonly above 80 per cent in June is usually enough.)

Is the canola crop canopy dense and yield potential high? (If your pants get wet when scouting canola mid-day, the canopy is probably sufficiently dense and humid for disease.)

Does the weather forecast predict precipitation and/or humidity during the flowering period?

Is the pathogen present in sufficient quantities? (With moisture and a history of sclerotinia stem rot in the area, you can assume the answer is yes. To find out for sure, Spornado from 20/20 Seed Labs or DNA-based petal testing kits from Quantum Genetix and Discovery

Seed Labs can identify the presence of spores.)

If the answer is â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to all four questions above, then spraying is generally recommended.

If the answer to some of the questions is â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? or uncertain, then the decision is more difficult. Perhaps an easier approach is to identify the situations where risk is limited.

Factors that decrease risk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dry conditions through the flowering period will decrease the risk of economic yield loss from sclerotinia stem rot. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A poor canola canopy that allows for a lot of air flow will reduce canopy humidity, and it also signals lower yield potential. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Below or well-above average temperatures (less than 10°C or greater than 25-30°C) and limited rainfall. Risk is limited when current conditions are dry, max daily temps are 30°C or more, and forecast to continue for seven to 14 days.

Farmers and agronomists often ask whether heavy rains or continuous rains will reduce the risk. Continuous rain events can wash off of petals from plants, remove spores from the air and trap spores in water droplets that form on the tops of the apoth-

Spore-infested petals landing on leaves and stems provide the entry point for sclerotinia stem rot. Fungicides on petals and leaves prevent this infection. ecia. But rain events that actually reduce sclerotinia stem rot risk would be unusual.

If conditions are right for disease and farmers decide to spray, the spray window for most fungicides is 20 to 50 per cent flower. Many products also allow for two applications, which can provide a return on investment in high-risk situations with good moisture, high yield potential and an extended flowering period.

Is there a point where you can’t get tougher on drunk drivers?

By Brian Zinchuk, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Estevan Mercury) Regina – In recent decades there has been a continual trend in both federal and Saskatchewan law – continuously getting tougher on drunk driving.

But is there a point where you’ve reached the limit and there’s not much more you can do on that front?

Minister Responsible for SGI Joe Hargrave was asked that on July 9, the day he presented SGI Canada and SGI Auto Fund annual reports.

The most significant number to come out of that was a 45 per cent

reduction in fatalities in 2019, compared to 2018.

He noted Saskatchewan has also seen its lowest number of impaired driving fatalities.

Hargrave said, “It’s something that I have, and SGI has been working on very, very hard, over the last number of years, for sure. We’ve seen that dramatic effect on the lowest number of fatalities. We only had 21 fatalities last year; 21 fatalities and still 21 too many. That’s a problem and that’s one we’re going to continue to work on.

“We did see through the through the pandemic and very unfortunately, the number of impaired driving offenses was still

was still high, and so we know that there’s people that were still out there and driving.

“I think what we have to work on is more of a problem with people that have maybe a drinking problem, and that they’re still out there and they’re driving.

“We’ve seen a really a positive impact with the bars and their cooperation with the hotel association. We’ve really seen a real positive impact in communities, even in small rural communities, where they’ve taken the lead in making sure that there’s fewer people driving.”

Hargrave said SGI is pleased with that. He

continued, “There’s still more way more work to do. We know that from the number of impaired driving charges that happened just over the last number of months. So we’re looking at that as to what else we can do, and that we will be continuing our efforts to lower the number of accidents and lower the number of people driving while they’re impaired.”

Is there more room on the penalty side, or on the treatment side?

Hargrave responded, “There’s other things that we can do.

“That’s why we’re working on the education.

“We have this

‘SmartWheels bus’ now and we’re going to kids.

We’re trying to get school kids from Grade 4 to Grade 6. We’re showing them about impaired driving. We know that that they’re growing up and we want to hit them (so) that when they’re able to drive, they have a totally different thought process about getting behind the wheel after they’ve done drugs or alcohol.”

He added, “When I was growing up, it was seatbelts. I mean, we never wore seatbelts.

And, you know, it was just unheard of. I stood next to my father as he was driving. I put my arm around his neck. It was

kind of ridiculous.”

He said now his children and grandchildren scream at him if he hasn’t put his seatbelt on before sticking the key in the ignition.

“That’s what happens when you get to that younger age of kids,” Hargrave said.

“We will make a longterm impact on those kids, and we’ll see a strong difference. I mean, I’d like to say we’ll do it tomorrow. But realistically, we’ll see that difference come over time as we educate these young kids and make a difference in their lives, which will make a difference on our highways in the years to come.”

Parkland 18Us earn opening weekend split

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Parkland 18U AAA Expos were finally back in action as the league has launched with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.

Sunday the local team

hosted Swift Current for a doubleheader at Cardinal Field at Jubilee Park in the city, with both players and fans maintaining social distancing guidelines when possible.

Spencer Phythian led the Expos offensively in

the loss with two hits in two at-bats.

Evan McCubbing took the loss for the Expos.

He went three innings, allowing four runs on two hits, while striking out four.

The second game went at 4 p.m. with the Expos

reversing their fortunes with a 7-6 win.

The game was tied at six with the Expos batting in the home half of the frame when Kayden Smith doubled on a 1-1 count to plate a run for the win.

The 57s had scored

a five-spot in the third inning, but the Expos scratched back to win.

The Expos had nine hits in the game, with Smith, Brady Bjornerud and Evan McCubbing having multiple hits.

Carter Phythian was

the winning pitcher on four and two-thirds innings of work, allowing no hits, in relief of starter Kaedyn Koroluk.

The Expos are back in action next Saturday, (July 18), for a doubleheader at Cardinal Field against Regina.

Wendell Estate Honey only North American honey awarded Platinum at London International Honey Awards Wendell Estate Honey (WEH), a brand of honey from honey producers in MacNutt is the only North American honey company to receive platinum at the 2020 London International Honey Awards (LIHA).

Honeys entered in the LIHA quality awards are judged by a panel of experts in a blind tasting and scored from 0-100 points. Eligible honeys must pass extensive testing by an independent accredited laboratory. Tests include pollen spectrum for floral and geographical source of honey, sugar profile to detect increasingly common adulteration and tests for heat treatment and/or excessive heat exposure. There are four awards ranging from bronze to platinum, with platinum being reserved for honeys that score from 95.5 to 100 out of a maximum possible score of 100.

WEH entered samples from each of its two product lines.

Wendell Estate Honey is harvested entirely on Wendell Honey Farm and packaged onsite.

Wendell Estate Organic Honey is sourced from a single family in Northern Saskatchewan and packaged by WEH. Both honeys were awarded Platinum.

In a field dominated by Mediterranean honeys, Wendell Estate Honey is proud to represent topquality Canadian honey on a global stage for the second time in less than a year.

The 2020 LIHA Platinum award joins Wendell Estate’s 2019 World Beekeeping Award (WBA) Gold Medal. The WBA are competitive awards: only a single competitor (if any) is awarded the gold medal in each category.

Wendell Estate entered for the first time and won

gold in the soft-set category in this prestigious bi-annual competition held in conjunction with Apimondia, the world beekeeping congress.

According to Wendell Estate Honey owner, Tim Wendell in a release, they “are beekeepers first, honey retailers second.

In these very challenging times for anyone trying to earn a living beekeeping and producing honey, we take great encouragement from these recognitions of our ongoing dedication to quality and authenticity” The Wendell family farm has been producing honey since John Wendell started keeping bees in the 1930s. For decades they reserved the season’s best honey to sell to dedicated local customers.

In 2011 Tim and Isabel Wendell launched the Wendell Estate brand so that customers around the world who lack

access to a trusted local apiary could enjoy natural, raw honey.

In the release they

noted, “we are passionate about our honey and invite you to enjoy our finest. Raw, pure,

authentic honey direct from our bees to your table.”

Autonomous vehicles and electric vehicles are in SGI’s windshield, looking ahead

By Brian Zinchuk, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Estevan Mercury) Regina – Last October a car with a panoramic camera mounted on the roof was parked in a North Battleford hotel parking lot for several evenings. Its driver was spending his days driving Saskatchewan highways, imaging and, perhaps more significantly, collecting three-dimensional LIDAR imagery and GPS data on those highways. The purpose was more than just a Google Streetview-type application. The intent was to collect data for future autonomous vehicle operation.

A lot of people are saying electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles are the future, and SGI is keeping its eyes open on those fronts, according to Minister Responsible for Saskatchewan Government Insurance Joe Hargrave and SGI president and CEO Andrew Cartmell. They spoke to reporters from Regina on July 9 while presenting SGI’s annual reports.

Asked about autonomous vehicle operation in Saskatchewan, Cartmell said, “We’ve begun to work with the government on putting regulations and legislation in place so that as autonomous vehicles become more prevalent on our roads that there’ll be the legislation to support the use of autonomous vehicles.

“In fact, we’ve done some work already, but

more in the agricultural sector, because there was a Saskatchewan based company that had designed autonomous agricultural vehicles and we needed to look at the regulations on those vehicles. They were basically using grid roads and provincial roads in order to get from one field to the other. So we’re actively working with the province on putting the right regulation and legislation in place so we’re prepared when they become more common.”

Hargrave said they’re starting to work on those regulations. In the agricultural situation Cartmell mentioned, Hargrave said, “It’s for very limited distances and an extremely limited speeds.”

“We’re starting to put things in place so that when it does become more prevalent that we’re that we’re able to react to it.”

Indeed, these issues are on the province’s legislative agenda.

One of the largest benefits that autonomous vehicle proponents suggest is that they will be much safer than human drivers, and that will impact insurance rates.

Hargrave said, “I think once that technology gets to that level, where it’s there, it will be, in the long term, very beneficial for the insurance industry and for accidents and injuries.

“But it’s still a fair ways away, where it becomes more of a common practice thing. But

we identify that it is coming. And that’s why we’re working to get some initial regulations started and in place so that that we’re ready to tackle it. We’re working on it on an ongoing basis.

We know what’s coming.

But we don’t think it’s like tomorrow, but we think it’s it is down the road a ways and we’re working on those issues right now.”

Asked about fixing a $100,000 electric Tesla if it gets whacked, Cartmell replied, “I guess it really depends on the extent of damage and where the damage occurs on the vehicle. We do share loss data with the insurance industry across Canada.

So even though there may not be as many Teslas in Saskatchewan as perhaps in some other provinces, we do have access to data to properly price the cost of repairing those vehicles.

We also have a claims technical division that does a lot of work with the repair industry, particularly around quality repairs and OEM certification and that type of thing. And as electric vehicles and as new technology is introduced into Saskatchewan, our technical group will work with repairs in the province to make sure that all these vehicles including electric vehicles are properly repaired and calibrated to get back on the road.”

He noted that special repair procedures are needed when dealing with the battery systems on electric vehicles to prevent possible electro-

cution.

If you have a Tesla with “autopilot,” can

you legally use it in Saskatchewan?

“It’s a pretty easy

answer. That’s definitely, definitely not allowed,” Hargrave said.

Masks distributed to area seniors by YDCF

By Devin Wilger Staff Writer One of the groups most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic are seniors.

They are more at risk due to the virus, but are also more likely to suffer from isolation due to the restrictions surrounding the virus. The PPE Mask Project by the Yorkton and District Community Foundation is intended to keep seniors safe and give them opportunities to stay active in the community, distributing free masks to seniors throughout the Good Spirit Housing Authority, and interest has been expressed through other organizations. The masks have been distributed in Yorkton, Canora and Melville so far.

Andrew Rae with the YDCF said that it’s about their mandate of helping vulnerable populations in the region.

“Typically, when someone is in a housing authority property, they do have some economic disadvantages that we’re trying to address. Maybe they can’t procure their own masks, so that’s where we, as a charitable foundation, can fit in.”

Over 550 packages have been distributed so far, with each package containing one cloth mask, made by Judith Stewart, ten disposable

Rae explained that the cloth mask is for the primary resident, while the disposable masks are intended for guests, so they can visit the seniors without putting anyone at risk. He expects that there will be refills for the paper masks available for this reason.

Rae said that it’s important to have masks distributed to residents

because they are otherwise at risk.

“Usually the population in a Housing Authority facility are elderly, usually they are an at risk population, they have heart conditions, diabetes, lung conditions, that make them vulnerable than the general population as well.

What we’re trying to do is give them a utility to allow them to conduct their life in as normal a manner as possible, so

that they can go about their day, do their business, for mental health make sure that they socialize.”

Several organizations and businesses are supporting this project, including the Rotary Club of Yorkton, Bailey’s Funeral Home, Legacy Co-op, Grain Millers and Canadian Tire. Rae thanks them for their support, and said that their response was enthusiastic and appreciated.

If others want to support the project, Rae said that they can still get involved by contacting info@ydcf. ca.

The foundation is new, and the COVID-19 crisis has forced them to hit the ground running. Rae noted that they had planned on starting an emergency fund for the community, but in a different manner. Their goal is to build a legacy and support vulnerable populations in the region.

The YDCF is also in the middle of accepting grant applications for the Emergency Community Response Fund, the deadline is on July 27, though Rae recommends applying as soon as possible. They have $75,000 to distribute through the federal government to area organizations, and Rae said they’re half-way through process.

New website to aid COVID stress The University of Reginaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dr. Gordon Asmundson, psychology professor and registered doctoral psychologist, has launched a website for individuals facing stress and anxiety related to COVID-19. The website, www.coronaphobia.org, was developed with the Psychology of Pandemics (PsyPan) Network which is comprised of mental health scientists, clinicians, and trainees from universities throughout Canada and the United States. Dr. Steven Taylor from the University of British Columbia and Dr. Asmundson are co-directors of the network.

Visitors to the website can take a confidential self-assessment to see where they score in terms of COVID-related distress or depression and anxiety when compared

to the general population. Once they complete the self-assessment, they can see where they score on an interactive COVID Stress Scale and get tailored recommendations for how to best look after their mental health based on their results.

The site also has a list of available mental health resources for the public and for professionals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given the escalating number of COVID19 cases in the United States and other parts of the world, as well as the potential for a second wave of infection in the future, we anticipate considerable and continuing stress in some segments of the population,â&#x20AC;? says Asmundson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our research regarding the mental health impacts of COVID-19 and strategies

site. The website is part of the third in a series of studies in the project.

In the first two studies, Dr. Asmundson and Dr. Taylor developed, validated, and published the COVID Stress Scales. In addition, the research team has published a paper that identifies COVID Stress Syndrome, describing it as a state of increased mental health distress occurring in response to the current COVID-19 pandemic.

This paper, along with the COVID Stress Scales, are just two of the helpful resources included on the site.

Dr. Asmundson and the research team plan to add additional features to the website. This includes a personalized list of mental health resources for individuals based on the results of

Dr. Gordon Asmundson their self-assessments and access to online therapy specifically tailored
