Senior Cobras start inaugural season this weekend Courtesy of Canora Courier
Fogg of Yorkton.
With the first season of the new Sask East Hockey League almost here, members of the Canora Senior Cobras are getting ready for their first game action. Of course, with COVID-19 prominent across the region, the pandemic is on the minds of local hockey fans and players alike. But Cal Homeniuk, Cobras president and general manager, said plans are in place for the season to start on time, barring any unforeseen changes in the COVID situation. Homeniuk said he’s looking forward to the start of action for the new nine-team league. The Cobras will be joined by: Hudson Bay Hunters, Theodore Buffaloes, Ituna Avalanche, Bredenbury Cougars, Esterhazy Flyers, Rocanville Tigers, Langenburg Warriors and Moosomin Rangers. In addition to local players, the Cobras’ roster includes talent from a number of area communities. The goaltenders are Rylan Palchewich of Canora and Blake Foster of Kamsack. Members of the defence are: Matt Wilgosh, Carson Dennis, Tyler
“Canora should have a competitive team right from the start,” said Homeniuk. “We have a fast offensiveminded group with an average defense and above-average goaltending. I expect the Cougars will improve as the season progresses and the players get to know each other better, peaking just in time for the playoffs.”
Canora and area hockey fans have already shown strong support for the return of the Cobras, as season tickets were sold out well before the team hit the ice for the first game.
Under the watchful eye of coach Terry Dennis, the Canora Senior Cobras held a spirited practise on November 11 in preparation for the start of the 2020/21 season of the new Sask East Hockey League. The Cobras home opener is set for November 21 versus Ituna. Ostoforoff and William Hauber, all of Canora, along with Tyler Stratechuk of Springside, Logan Hilderman of Kamsack and Tanner Denesowich of Yorkton. The forwards are: Casey Mydonick, Sean Kolodziejski, Tanner
Kopeck, Bryce Pelechaty, Kody Rock, Ryley Stefanyshyn and Skyler Hladun, all of Canora, Brandon Whitehawk and Logan Foster of Kamsack, Noah Tonn of Preeceville, Cole Rathgeber of Goodeve, and Tanner Mak and Brayden
“Due to social distancing, we have set a limit of 150 fans per game,” said Homeniuk. “Fifty single game tickets will be available for each home game, in addition to the 100 season ticket holders.” Game day tickets are available from Community Insurance and the Town of Canora. The season starts for the Cobras with a game in Hudson Bay on November 20, followed by the home opener at the Canora Civic Centre on November 21 versus Ituna.
The Madge Lake YFBTA Reports Positive Count Courtesy of Kamsack Times The Madge Lake YFBTA (Yellowhead Flyway Birding Trail Association) Loon Initiatives Committee reported a positive count spotting many birds. As with last year, the 2020 season at Madge Lake began with a late spring, with birds arriving a week later than previous years. Loons were flying in while most of the ice was still on the lake, and were occupying narrow strips of open water for about a week. As a result, nesting probably didn’t start until the second week in May. The first spotting of young was June 20. “Bob Wynes, another Madge Lake resident, was kind enough to assist me on the survey this year,” said Doug Welykholowa, Chairperson, YFBTA Loon Initiatives Committee. “He and I went out together twice and he also did two trips
protective behaviour in those territories, as well as spotting juveniles in September in their nascent territory either by themselves or accompanied by one or two adults. The YFBTA Loon Initiatives Committee is unsure as to why many adults are keeping their young hidden and away from open water during the majority of the summer.
Loons are found around the Madge Lake Provincial Park and 12 chicks were spotted this year. accompanied by friends. He is a great help and an excellent sounding board.” Adult common loons maintained about the same numbers as in previous years, with 26 pair maintaining their

territories throughout the season, and approximately 20 unpaired young adults occupying the lake throughout. A total of 12 chicks/juveniles were spotted over the summer, and 10 survived until September. The last count on September 17 had 24 adults and 22 juveniles. It is believed 12 of these juveniles came from neighbouring lakes, although there is a good possibility that a couple of these were raised on Madge. Two territories, previously abandoned, were re-established, and one territory from 2019 was abandoned this year. Otherwise, most of the territories remained from last year, with some modifications to the size of some. Changes to the
size and shape of the territories are strictly observational based on the YFBTA Loon Initiatives Committee sightings each year. As noted in previous reports, fewer chicks are being spotted in the open during the majority of the season. This year, seven chicks were spotted shortly after they hatched, but two of these didn’t survive the season, and another wasn’t spotted again until September. In midSeptember an additional five juveniles were spotted and the YFBTA Loon Initiatives Committee is confident that they were hatched on the lake, but were hidden from view throughout the summer. This is based on observations of nesting and

“With an apparent increase over the years of larger wake boats and personal watercraft on the lake, perhaps the loons are getting defensive, but that is only speculation at this point,” said Welykholowa. One unusual sighting occurred on August 20, and confirmed on August 26 with photographs, was an adult loon that had completely moulted into its winter colours. In the past, in late August, a number of partiallymoulted adults were noted, but this is the first one that had completed the process. Committee members even found a moulted wing coverlet with the distinctive white markings very close to this adult. The main differences are size and the lack of the distinctive light beige scallops on the wing coverlets of the juvenile. The adult was distinctively larger than any of the juveniles spotted. In addition to the loons, a number of different species of note were spotted on the lake this year. At least three pelicans remained for the summer. Groups of six to ten cormorants were spotted in various locations, as were bald eagles, ospreys and blue heron. One pair of bald eagles built a nest within 100 feet of one of the loon nests. The loon nest was initially occupied, but was abandoned before any eggs could hatch, although the adults
remained in that territory. It is speculated that the close proximity to the eagle nest disturbed the loons, although, if eggs were laid, they could have been predated.
Of special note, a pair of trumpeter swans with four cygnets was observed on a beaver pond near the north end of Madge Lake earlier in the summer of 2020. During the September loon survey, a pair of trumpeter swans was observed with three cygnets in Big Bay, presumably the pair which nested on the beaver pond. “This is the first sighting of trumpeter swans successfully nesting in Duck Mountain Provincial Park that we are aware of. In the previous two summers, Bob heard trumpeter swans in the vicinity of the same beaver pond, and speculates that this may not be the first summer they have nested there,” says Welykholowa.
“Thanks to everyone who accompanied me on my surveys (Nancy Welykholowa, Brian and MaryLou Deck, Sharon Korb and Kevin Streat) as well as the many individuals who called me regarding loons that they spotted over the summer. Again, a big thanks to Bob Wynes, who collaborated with me this year, and to Barb and Doug Elsasser, Shevon Wilson and Rob Wilson, who accompanied Bob on separate counts. Also, a big thanks to the Park and its staff for the support they provide me every year. This year the Park deployed No Wake Zone buoys in front of cottages and the Jubilee Boat Launch. The latter covers one of our nesting sites, while the Kamsack Beach/Midway buoys cover another. These will be monitored in the future to gauge any significant effects on these two sites,” he concluded.

Never too late to start: Former Norquay resident launches his first book at 93 Courtesy of Preeceville Progress They say it’s never too late to make a dream come true. That is certainly the case with 93 year-old former Norquay resident, William (Bill) Shymkiw who has recently published his first volume of short stories entitled The Sun Will Rise Tomorrow. During a phone interview from his current home in Olds, Alberta, Shymkiw explained, “All of the stories are based on my own personal belief system…that there is always hope in a new day, we must keep looking forward, and we must trust that tomorrow will be good.” As a one-room schoolhouse teacher turned high school principal, family man, and farmer,
Shymkiw enjoyed the first 70 years of his life in the Norquay area. In 1995, he and his wife moved to Alberta to slow down and enjoy the quiet life. In time, his rural Saskatchewan roots would serve as a backdrop for many of what have been called his tender and relatable narratives. Shymkiw’s collection dives into locations all around the world, along with many set in and around his hometown. “Johnny’s Bicycle, set in the village of Margo, is about a little boy who suffers the loss of his mother and moves in with his grandfather,” explained Shymkiw, describing the story as a tragedy that evolves to a deepening of the relationship with his grandfather through the gift of a bicycle.
William (Bill) Shymkiw celebrated his 93rd birthday at his home in Olds, Alberta. “Who Am I?” offers Shymkiw “is a love story featuring a Jewish girl who graduates from high school and boards a train to Winnipeg. All is going according to plan, until she falls off the train.
William (Bill) Shymkiw, originally of Norquay, has published a book of short stories The Sun Will Rise Tomorrow. – photos courtesy of Friesen Press Shymkiw further mentioned a story set in Kamsack. “This one drops readers into a Doukhobor village rife
with turmoil. A great debate rages in the community torn between the choice to abide by the local government laws or follow their spiritual leader to set up a new life in Alberta,” he explained. Following the death of his wife in 2005, Shymkiw described how he “drifted” for a number of years. Eventually, it came to the point where he had to face the decision to either move to an assisted living residence or find someone to give him a hand in his own home. Opting for the latter, he has not only secured the care he needed, but also a welcome dose of encouragement. “I could not have completed this book without my helper and right hand, Rita McPherson,” said Shymkiw. “I am par-
tially blind, so I rely on Rita to type for me.” In fact, the pair have made such a dynamic team, they have already launched into a second book. The next volume will include another 30 stories and will be published by Friesen Press. “At one time my retirement years included things like gardening and painting landscapes,” said Shymkiw. “When I decided to write my first short story, I showed it to Rita, and she said, ‘hey, that’s not too bad.’” Margo, Canora, Swan Plain, Veregin, Kamsack, and Norquay are just some of the locations featured in this first volume. The book is currently available to order from the Friesen Press bookstore (online) and will soon be available in local retail bookstores.
Copper deposit north of La Ronge will get further drilling Nick Pearce Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (Saskatoon StarPhoenix)
La Ronge Mayor Colin Ratushniak said he was unaware of the project, but he welcomes potential economic development in the north. The winter activity will come roughly four years after Forum acquired the property in 2017. Last year, Rio Tinto signed a deal with the junior miner that allowed it to spend up to $30 million over seven years to take an 80 per cent stake on the property. Rio Tinto, which was unavailable for comment by press time, hasn’t limited its projects in Saskatchewan to Janice Lake. In August, it inked a deal with ALX Resources Corp. for a nickel project about 20 kilometres northwest of Stony Rapids. The deal allows Rio Tinto to acquire an

Appliance technology has stagnated
Recently, a YouTube channel (Technology Connections) declared that microwave technology has not advanced significantly since 1997. And while that was a prelude to a video about a particularly ambitious microwave from 1997, it made me think about appliances, and how they really haven’t changed much at all in the past decades. Go into your local appliance store and you’ll quickly notice that most appliances look roughly the same as they always have. The finish might be a bit different hope you like stainless steel - but otherwise if you travelled through time from 1978 you would be immediately able to
understand how to use all of them. Fridges? I know people who replaced a fridge that was 20 years old, and the only difference between that fridge and the new one - beyond the new one working - was the font used for the manufacturer logo. Stoves? I could probably use a new one blindfolded, they haven’t even really varied where the buttons are. Microwaves? Just got a new one in our house, and the only difference between it and the old one is that the new one is actually worse - it is getting warranty repair work done as I type this, while the old one was trouble-free for 10 years until it stopped working. While there are efficien-

Thinking I do with words... cy improvements behind the scenes and you can connect some of the higher end models to the internet for some unknown reason, for the average consumer, it looks like the world of appliances hasn’t changed at all for decades. The one exception to this is washers, which all look completely different
than the one in my basement, all have dramatically more functions and can be loaded from the front or the top depending how much you want to spend. I can understand the stagnation. If you’re cooking, you basically know what you want to accomplish and how you want to do it. You don’t want to have to re-learn how to
cook just because you bought a couple new appliances. It also doesn’t make sense for manufacturers to go all out to try to reinvent the wheel. On the low end, for people who just want a fridge, just using the same rough design you always have is much cheaper than designing something new, and the people who just need a fridge are still going to buy it and be happy with it. On the high end, no matter how many features you add, there’s no sense in reinventing the wheel because they want the same basic functions. And since everything has to fit in roughly the same spot, even going wild with the form factor
would be a silly move. If anything, the greatest kitchen innovations are happening in small appliances, because those are not nearly as much of a time investment to replace. You can bring home something like an air fryer or pressure cooker in your car without calling any friends, and you get a new way to cook you didn’t have before. But still, as I look at appliances, I can’t help but wish there was something a bit more exciting than “just like your old one, except functional.” The exception to this is washers, and I’m actually surprisingly excited about the opportunity to get a new one. Now I just need the cash...
U.S. election shows need to bend the arc toward justice After finishing high school in Ontario in the 1950s, I was awarded a scholarship from Amherst College in Massachusetts. After completing my undergraduate degree, I received funding to study at the University of Chicago — even though I was Canadian! The postwar boom and ensuing Cold War sparked the space race and a push for science and education in the United States. The Soviet Union launched the first satellite, Sputnik, then sent a dog and later people into orbit. To catch up and overtake the “enemy” in everything from science to engineering and medicine, the U.S. poured money into education — funding students, universities and government laboratories. Despite my humble beginnings, I benefited greatly. I earned my zoology PhD in 1961 and went on to work as a research associate at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s biology division in Tennessee. As much as I enjoyed the opportunities, I was appalled by the blatant racial discrimination in the former slave-owning state, where everything from washrooms to schools were segregated, so I got involved with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Racism wasn’t new to me. Indigenous Peoples
in Canada faced severe discrimination and weren’t allowed to vote until 1960. And, during the Second World War, the federal government took everything my family had and sent my dad to a labour camp and my mom, sisters and me to internment in B.C.’s Slocan Valley. All of us, including my parents, were born and raised in Canada. In Tennessee, racial discrimination was so entrenched it made me long for home, even though my country had treated my family badly. Despite good offers from U.S. universities, I jumped at the chance to return to Canada, thinking its smaller size and somewhat liberal values would make it easier to work toward a better society. In 1962, the University of Alberta’s genetics department hired me to teach, which also jumpstarted my broadcasting career. Looking at the U.S. today, I see a country that, like Canada, is still struggling with systemic racism, but where many have also turned their backs on science and education. When “leaders” dismiss the overwhelming evidence for humancaused climate disruption and the need to address it, belittle medical experts and immunologists as a pandemic rages out of control (over-
DAVID SUZUKI
Science Matters whelming hospitals and killing almost a quarter of a million people and leaving many more with long-lasting health effects) and push policies that undermine the natural systems on which health and life depend, something is terribly wrong — especially considering public support for this madness. Even with a change in administration, it’s difficult to look beyond the turmoil, the racism and sexism, the planetdestroying trajectory. But if we do, we see many people standing up for justice, equity and sanity, as in Canada and many
other countries. At the same time, authoritarian movements are on the rise globally. That’s why those who know a better way is possible must persevere. Although much of the push for science and education during my time in the U.S. was militaristic, an attempt to get the upper hand on a sworn enemy, it created a more educated population. Many started to question societal values and assumptions, especially with the country at war in Vietnam with people many Americans had never heard of for reasons that made little
sense. This rising consciousness and the ensuing protests and political movements were a threat to the prevailing order, and the pushback was enormous. A highly educated population threatened the concentration of power. Despite the massive government resources against them, those movements didn’t disappear, though they may have weakened. Now, they’re gaining strength. We must confront racism, sexism and injustice in all their manifestations, including in ourselves. Because we’re shaped by the societies we’re part of, we must learn to recognize and overcome our own conscious and unconscious biases. We must listen to those connected to place, such as Indigenous Peoples who have lived on the land for millennia, and understand the delicate balance that keeps the planet habit-
FCC trade report shows opportunity for growth, diversification in food exports Regina, Saskatchewan, November 17, 2020 – One of Canada’s greatest opportunities for growth in global trade is in the food and beverage processing industry,

FCC TRADE REPORT
Continued from Page 4 FCC chief agricultural economist, in releasing this year’s trade report: Opportunities and Challenges to Diversify Canada’s Food Exports. “Combined with our competitive advantages in natural resources and innovation, and a stellar food safety reputation, Canada has an opportunity to improve its world standing as a major food exporter, as well as to diversify its export markets,” Gervais said. Canada has long been a major exporter of both agriculture commodities and food, ranking fifth as a global agriculture commodity exporter and 12th as a processed and prepared food and beverage exporter in 2019. In 2019, Canada’s total food, beverage and commodity exports were worth roughly $67 billion, an increase of almost 10 per cent since 2015. Food exports increased by 27.8 per cent. Food and beverage exports represented less than half (45.5 per cent) of the total value of the country’s agriculture, food and beverage exports. Canada’s agri-food industry has so far been able to adjust to COVID19 challenges and meet the needs of Canadian and export customers, yet the disruptions to global food supply chains and trade caused by the pandemic underscore the need for Canada to diversify its export markets and seize related growth and diversification advantages. The report indicates diversification of the country’s export markets can help reduce financial risks for Canadian producers by lessening our dependency on current major markets. When borders close for any number of reasons – due to trade tensions or shock caused by disease or weather – having a broader range of export markets allows Canadian exports to be re-allocated, rather than reduced. The potential to diversify our export landscape is a function of the size and growth of import markets where our export presence has historically lagged, according to the report:

NOVEMBER 16 Of all vegetable oils, canola oil has been the fastest growing behind coconut oil. Imports largely used for consumption (as opposed to biofuel) show a definite preference for Canadian canola oil in multiple Asian and Western economies. Beyond China, most of the markets in which Canadian pork has an advantage are small and well-established with slow recent growth. If Chinese markets were excluded, the markets that show the greatest potential for Canadian pork exports are the European countries of Italy, France, Germany, Belgium and Poland. In 2019, Canada was the fourth largest exporter of potato products, worth just over $1 billion. The expansion of the Western diet globally has increased demand for French fries and potato products. While the United Kingdom is the largest and fastest growing importer, there is opportunity for expansion with other trading partners, such as Western and Eastern European countries and China. From 2009 to 2019, Canada has been the world’s largest exporter of prepared crab, capturing 32.8 per cent of total global exports last year. China, along with South Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and Hong Kong, represent a third of the global import growth. Global prepared and preserved beef imports grew by 58 per cent between 2009 and 2019, and China accounted for almost 40 per cent of that growth. Over the same period, Canadian exports grew by almost 125 per cent. Last year China surpassed the U.S. as the largest beef importer, including prepared and preserved beef. Other growth opportunities reside in Europe and other Asian export destinations. While market diversification is desirable from a risk management perspective, Gervais notes there are economic challenges that can thwart efforts to diversify Canada food export markets.
“Diversification almost always entails seeking markets that are further away and more expensive to develop,” he cautions. “Plus, selling into one market – rather than multiple markets – might be less expensive due to economies of scale.” Some price-sensitive markets may also offer limited potential for diversification, due to the higher input and manufacturing cost associated with higher-quality Canadian products, and a slower pace of economic expansion worldwide can mean more timid growth in food demand, according to Gervais. On the flipside, diversification allows exports to continue when trade partners become unavailable, possibly preventing or reducing business disruptions or revenue loss. “Disruptions caused by the pandemic serve as a wakeup call at a time when global supply and demand of food are also becoming increasingly difficult to gauge,” Gervais said. “Canada has an opportunity to fortify and strengthen its position as a major food exporter by exploring new markets and ensuring we are not overly reliant on a few.” By sharing agriculture economic knowledge and forecasts, FCC provides solid insights and expertise to help those in the business of agriculture achieve their goals.

By USask Research Profile and Impact SASKATOON – As part of a new U.K.-Canada collaboration, a University of Saskatchewan (USask) quantum physics team will develop a highly sensitive and precise sensor for measuring magnetic fields, a technology of potential benefit for geological prospecting, medicine, and quantum computers. USask physicist Michael Bradley is one of eight winners of the U.K.-Canada Quantum Technologies Competition aimed at accelerating promising quantum technologies for real-world applications in areas such as health care, secure communications, and financial services. Bradley’s quantum sensor or “magnetometer” for detecting magnetic fields would be more compact, cheaper and easier for geophysical companies to use in taking measurements of ore bodies in remote environments than the bulky liquid-helium-cooled devices currently available. As well, the measurements can be taken without the bulky cryogenic cooling apparatus needed for other techniques. Bradley’s technique relies on the wavelike quantum mechanical properties of electrons to make higher precision measurements than are possible using classical approaches. The technology has been demonstrated in the lab, but there is no commercial product on the market. “We aim to design, build and demonstrate a quan-

tum magnetometer that will be a powerful way to measure small magnetic fields,” said Bradley. “In three years, we want to be able to place in the hands of geophysicists a Rubik’s Cube-sized box containing this new measurement tool for precisely detecting the magnetic field signatures of various rock formations.” The competition is run jointly by the U.K. Research and Innovation (UKRI) and Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). Bradley’s $90,000 project involves academic partner University of Nottingham (Prof. Mark Fromhold) and industrial partners M-Squared Lasers Limited in the U.K., and Saskatoon-based Dias Geophysical Ltd. At the core of the compact magnetometer is diamond. That’s because some diamonds have a naturally occurring atomic impurity (a nitrogen-vacancy centre) in which energy levels of trapped electrons are extremely sensitive to a nearby magnetic field. An optical signal from the electrons excited by the magnetic field is detected by a laser. In their lab, Bradley’s team has demonstrated the capability to grow high-quality synthetic diamond chips for use in the new instrument. Another potential application of the new technology could be in neuroscience, Bradley said. For instance, helmets studded with the diamond magnetometers could be used to precisely monitor brain activity. The technology might also be developed for doctors to detect certain bacteria that contain magnetic iron oxide crystals.
The new magnetometer would also provide improved sensor technology for environmental monitoring and could have applications in developing quantum computers which would be much faster at processing than even the largest standard ones.
Bradley is a member of the USask Centre for Quantum Topology and its Applications which involves researchers from mathematics, physics, computing and chemistry collaborating on work related to quantum materials.
The U.K.-Canada competition follows a 2017 agreement between the two nations to share quantum expertise through academic and business collaborations.

Details of Moose Valley Wind Farm project discussed at open house Rob Paul - Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (The WorldSpectator - Moosomin) Details of a wind farm project for the Kipling area were discussed at a recent virtual open house. ENGIE held a virtual open house for its Moose Valley Wind Project, which is planned for the RM of Hazelwood and will be 50 to 200 megawatts in size—10 to 40 turbines. The project will be submitted in response to SaskPower’s current 2020 Wind request for proposals for new wind generation capacity—submissions are due in November. The Moose Valley Wind Project will generate enough electricity to power approximately 50,000 homes. ENGIE is an international energy company based in France with North American headquarters in Austin, Texas and Markham, Ontario. It owns and operates power plants with a combined installed capacity of over 100 gigawatts—5,400 megawatts of operating wind facilities and over 2,200 megawatts of operating solar facilities. ENGIE Canada Inc. has been actively participating and investing in the Canadian energy sector for over two decades with 680 megawatts of renewable electricity generating facilities across Canada. This site was chosen by ENGIE because it checks three major boxes with its proximity to existing transmission lines, a strong wind resource, and compatibility with existing land use. ENGIE will be responsible for the permitting and construction of the project and associated substation. The substation will connect to nearby SaskPower 230 kV line or directly to SaskPower’s Kennedy substation. The specific turbine locations and electrical line routing have not been finalized yet. The layout will be finalized once SaskPower awards the contract and environmental field surveys are completed. “Right now there’s 240 megawatts of installed wind capacity (in Saskatchewan),” said Project Development Manager Jon Fournier. “What’s driving a lot of this is Saskatchewan’s target in reduction of electricity sector emissions of 40 per cent by 2030. That, combined with a requirement from the federal government to phase out most of the coal generation fleet by 2030. “Saskatchewan has
world-class wind resource and wind energy will be important and a cost effective way of meeting that target. In 2018, SaskPower ran one of their first procurements in seven or eight years for 200 megawatts. They indicated the final electricity price was less than 4.2 cents per kilowatt an hour which is very cost effective electricity. “Having a competitive request for proposals process with independent power producers combined with world class wind resource will ensure low cost electricity generation and motivate the province to maybe try to exceed their greenhouse gas targets because it makes economic sense,” he said. “The current request for proposals at SaskPower is running for 300 megawatts of wind generation. Each project can be between 50 and 200 megawatts and bidders are able to submit up to six proposals— from one site or several sites. Proposals are due November 10 and the project would be operational by December 1, 2023.” Currently ENGIE is completing public consultation, environmental evaluations, wind resource assessment, turbine review and selection, and engineering and layout optimization. Before ENGIE builds a wind project they conduct field studies to assess any potential impacts and to understand how they can be avoided or minimized. ENGIE has completed spring and summer environmental field surveys and has initiated the fall field survey. The project is being designed to avoid native prairie habitat and minimize impacts to the environment and heritage resources. ENGIE is developing the project in full compliance with the requirements of the Wildlife Siting Guidelines for Saskatchewan Wind Energy Projects. The environmental survey results thus far have indicated that the proposed projects area is favourable for wind energy development. Results of all environmental studies will be used to design the project layout to avoid or minimize impacts to the environment. “With the environmental studies, you start with some desktop level work looking at information,” Fournier said. “There’s a HABISask tool in Saskatchewan that gives you some information, you look at aerial photos, and eventual-
ly you hire biologists to go out in the field and do various field surveys so you can understand what species use the area and if any of the species are sensitive and require setbacks. You understand if there’s wetlands or native prairie grasslands in the area. You build up this body of knowledge about the site
and then that feeds into the wind farm designs. “We met with the rural municipality and got an understanding of their zoning bylaws and what setbacks need to be applied to property lines or roads or residences. You know what environmental features are on a site and if there’s any associated setbacks to
those. You know if there’s any airports around or telecommunication towers that you may need to be concerned with. That gives you the information to design the wind farm. You know what you need to stay away from and what area of land you can work within. “Then we take the data from the meteoro-
logical towers and put that into a computer model that takes into consideration the terrain variability and the various setbacks and constraints (from the environment),” he said. “We look at different turbine models and see where we can locate them and which model is Continued on Page 8

USask researchers partner with industry to make food and pipelines safer, agriculture smarter By USask Research Profile and Impact SASKATOON – Backed by $2 million from the federal government and partner organizations, University of Saskatchewan (USask) researchers aim to make Arctic pipelines stronger and safer, protect the food supply, and improve crop processing with cutting-edge technology. Five research teams have been awarded a total of $1.08 million from Canada’s Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) to lead the wide-ranging NSERC Alliance research projects. As well, partner organizations are contributing a total of $600,000 in cash and $340,000 in in-kind contributions to the projects. “This major partnered investment will support exciting USask research projects that address complex challenges, create environmental and economic benefits, and contribute to Canada’s long-term competitiveness,” said USask Vice-President Research Karen Chad. “These collaborative projects will also train new researchers in areas important to Canada and

Canada and Arctic areas around the world. Pipelines in cold regions face challenges such as terrain frozen by permafrost or gouged by sheets of ice. The research could improve the safety of gas and oil transport, open a new market for Canadian manufacturers, and reduce the environmental damage in the case of a pipeline failure in a sub-arctic environment. Using biotech to make animal feed processing cheaper and more efficient - $697,000 USask veterinary
researcher Dr. Matthew Loewen—partnering with biochemist Michele Loewen at the University of Ottawa and Western Grains Research F o u n d a t i o n , Saskatchewan Pulse Growers, and Botaneco Inc.—will use cuttingedge biotechnologies to tweak the chemical structures of two enzymes important for removing bitter-tasting tannins from animal feed. The results will lead to more efficient and cheaper bioprocessing, yielding more palatable and safer animal
feeds. The research could have long-term applications for making new plant-based products for human consumption. Improving antimicrobial use practices for the beef industry $430,500 Working with the Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) and Alberta Beef Producers, USask veterinary researcher Dr. Cheryl Waldner, who holds the NSERC/BCRC Industrial Research Chair in One Health and Production-Limiting Diseases, will examine changes to antimicrobial use and resistance in cow-calf operations resulting from recent federal regulations requiring veterinary prescriptions for the sale of all medically important antimicrobials for use in food animals. The results will inform beef industry stewardship practices that minimize antimicrobial resistance and support environmental sustainability, protecting public health, animal health, and animal welfare. Using nanotechnology to decontaminate eggshells - $110,600 Partnering with the Canadian Poultry Research Council and Saskatchewan Egg
Producers, a multi-disciplinary USask team led by Lifeng Zhang (engineering), Shelley Kirychuk (medicine), and Karen Schwean-Lardner (animal and poultry science) will develop a chemicalfree, nanotechnologybased surface decontamination method for treating eggshells to control microbial contamination. The results will improve food safety and reduce environment impacts. Making soil management smarter - $62,600 To precisely manage their crops, producers need detailed information about how soil properties vary across the field. How much information is the right amount? Soil scientist Angela Bedard-Haughn and her team, working with CropPro Consulting, will combine machine learning, predictive soil mapping techniques, and strategic field soil sampling to determine a costeffective soil sampling strategy. The results could help make precision soil mapping widely accessible to producers.

Royal Helium putting together winter drilling program in SW Sask., plans SE Sask. for next year By Brian Zinchuk Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Estevan Mercury Saskatoon – Saskatoon-based Royal Helium Ltd. is in the final stages of putting together a winter drilling program, according to president and CEO Andrew Davidson on Nov. 10. The company is in the process of shortlisting its services providers and drilling rigs to go to work in the Climax area of southwest Saskatchewan in early December, or, if that doesn’t work out, early in the new year. Drilling traditionally shuts down in Saskatchewan for the Christmas holidays, so they’re not going to start drilling in the third week of December. The company is targeting a five-well program, and no less than three, according to Davidson. Helium development is a growing industry in southern Saskatchewan. The element is used for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), quantum computer cooling, and rocketry, in addition to other uses. Helium is formed by the natural decay of uranium and thorium in the PreCambrian “basement” rock which underlies the sedimentary column in southern Saskatchewan. It is trapped by very tight cap rock right above that basement. That means drilling deep wells. Davidson said they are looking at 14-day wells, and depths in the range of 2,500 metres. “They’re in the Climax area, where we’re starting,” Davidson said. Climax is south of Shaunavon. Southwest Saskatchewan has been a hotbed of helium development in recent years, with North American Helium drilling extensively in the Consul area. Davidson said, “Target area Number 2 for us is back in the Bengough area, and that would be later in 2021. We have some more exploration to do there. We have some aeromag to do there, over the Bengough region, which doesn’t take too long to do.” Davidson said they are thinking summer 2021 is probably the right time for drilling in the Bengough area, depending on the success of the first program. “If we have good results at Climax and prove that our system works, as we think it will, we’ll be over there as soon as possible. I think there’s a lot of

It’s virtually untested from a helium production scenario,” Davidson said. Bengough is southwest of Weyburn. Royal has acquired lands throughout southeast Saskatchewan, from Ocean Man First Nation to Coronach. At Bengough, they’ve identified five prospects through seismic survey which they intend on analyzing with aeromagnetic survey before finalizing their drilling targets. In September, Royal announced it has permitted an additional 32,166 hectare (321.7 square kilometres), including 173 square kilometres in the Bengough area and 148 square kilometres near Pangman, creating a contiguous land package near Ogema. Their permitted land now totals 4,320 square kilometres. Several years ago, Weil Group developed several helium wells in the Mankota area, between of Royal’s Climax and Bengough development areas.

same location.” In some ways, producing helium is similar to producing old, wateredout oil wells, where just a few percentage points of the volume is the product you want. For old oil wells, the rest is salt water. For these helium wells, the other product is nitrogen, carbon dioxide and possibly other gases. “In Saskatchewan, we have the ability to produce helium as a primary product, which is something that’s relatively unique to our province. Globally, average helium grades are significantly lower, principally because they’re produced with hydrocarbons or natural gas byproducts. In Saskatchewan, it’s coproduced with nitrogen, so you get levels ranging from trace all the way up to north of three per cent. Three per cent is a world-class helium well. Two per cent is a phenomenal helium well. Anything from 0.3 per cent and up is an economic unit. So, we’re expecting in the range of one to three per cent in our wells. “What we’ve been doing is planning on what we do with the rest of that gas stream. That’s
where we get into the polygeneration,” Davidson said. “We’re looking at capturing it instead of venting.” Nitrogen, for instance, is one of the most significant industrial gasses. He said it is the largest segment of the industrial gas industry in North America. “We’re looking at capturing that, and using it as feedstock for fertilizer. Ideally, that would be in concert with a potash company, likely, to combine products from both for a highvalue end-use product.” Notably, Royal Helium’s vice president of exploration, professional geologist Steve Halabura, is also president of Buffalo Potash. “We don’t have a final location yet. This is a down-the-road plan. For now, we need to get production online. But as we build to scale, we’re going to decide where we want our large scale facility, whether it’s in the Estevan area, or the Climax/Swift Current area, is going to depend on the results of drilling. What we’re going to have, potentially, is two parts of the province competing against each other for the most appealing location for a

large-scale plant.” He said southeast Saskatchewan is looking attractive right now because North American Helium is building a big facility in the Battle Creek area of southwest Saskatchewan. “Having two large facilities next door to each other doesn’t make a lot of sense,” Davidson said. While polygeneration is the road they’re going down, Davidson said, “It’s not taking away from the helium project. It’s helium that drives the bus with Royal. We are a helium-focused company, but we are pursuing this other
track, because we think it’s a right and sensible thing to do. If it doesn’t work out, if the economics don’t stand up, that’s fine. At one to three per cent helium, the project stands up on its own two feet, quite well.” The Battle Creek area is more CO2-rich, he noted. “We’re expecting a largely 90 per cent nitrogen drive, with the potential of some CO2. In a lot of helium wells, you see some argon, some neon as well coming out, but those would likely be trace amounts.” If a polygen plant were to be incorporated, it would likely be in the range of $50 to $100 million, but that depends on the results of the scoping study the SRC is doing. “The size of the apparent helium fields in Saskatchewan is quite significant. We easily see there being 100-plus wells online, here in Saskatchewan, and we’d like to own the majority of those, build the process, and control the marketing as well,” Davidson said. The raw gas would likely be trucked from wellhead to the central plant, which would support the entire area. Royal would initially bring in mobile separation units designed to separate out the helium at the wellsite. But if they develop a polygen plant, then raw gas would be trucked to the plant for processing. The choice of a location would be in the spot where it makes the most sense, including access to employees.

USask launches first study on effects of smoked cannabis on brain development By Greg Basky for USask Research Profile and Impact SASKATOON – University of Saskatchewan (USask) pharmacologist Robert Laprairie will use a Brain Canada research grant to determine how a mother’s use of cannabis during pregnancy affects the brain of the developing fetus she’s carrying. Laprairie is one of 20 Canadian neuroscientists each awarded $100,000 today as part of Brain Canada’s Future Leaders in Canadian Brain Research Program. “Following on Canada’s legalization of cannabis in 2018, there is merited concern that people might seek out cannabis either for medicinal or recreational use during pregnancy,” said Laprairie. While some people believe cannabis can help reduce nausea during pregnancy, Laprairie said, “There’s a general misconception among the public that because it’s natural, it’s safe. But it’s a drug just like any other drug.”

USask pharmacologist Robert Laprairie. Laprairie, along with USask neuroscientist John Howland, and PhD students Ayat Zagzoog and Tallan Black, is testing in a rat model the hypothesis that chronic exposure to cannabis with high tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content will result in a significant increase in the rat pups’ anxiety and significant reduction in both cognition and sociability. “We think we’re going to see a profound impact on how anxious the animals are, and how well they learn and adapt,” Laprairie said. Limited data available from human studies show that babies
exposed ‘in utero’ to cannabis smoke weigh less and have shorter feet. Studies involving rats have found injected cannabinoids lead to increased anxiety, learning deficits, and metabolic changes in pups. However, injected cannabis differs significantly from smoked wholeplant cannabis, which contains other psychoactive ingredients beyond just the THC. “There’s some work done on it, but we need to delve deeper into it,” said Laprairie. The USask team will use a special inhalation chamber to deliver high THC and high cannabi-
diol smoke to pregnant rats for 21 days. Following the birth of the pups, the researchers will track their growth, weight, and metabolic outcomes such as how much fat they have. Once the pups are old enough, the researchers will start monitoring them for anxiety-like behaviours, learning and memory tasks, and eventually such things as predisposition to substance use disorders. Laprairie said rats are an appropriate model organism because of the close similarities to humans. “Their brains go through many of the same developmental processes, and their metabolism of the drug and how their bodies physically respond to the drug are on the order of 95 per cent homologous with our human endocannabinoid system,” he said. The 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health in the United States found that 4.9 per cent of pregnant women aged 15 to 44 years reported past-month cannabis use. While no directly comparable figures
are available for Canada, 2016 Statistics Canada figures showed that nearly 17 per cent of women of child-bearing age reported using cannabis in the previous year. The USask research team hopes to have manuscripts ready in summer 2021 for submission to high impact journals. “What we as a team are hoping for is that individuals, policymakers, Health Canada, and health regions will take note of the data we’ve published and integrate it into their policy to recognize and caution people about avoiding cannabis during pregnancy,” said Laprairie. “We’re developing many different cannabisbased medicines. And one of the most import-

it’s also a great place to get updates from your weekly newspaper!
Saskatchewan in 1909. Monday, for the first time in the community’s history a woman was elected Mayor. Debbie Banks became the first female mayor topping Doyle Ward for the spot. Both were looking for their first term as mayor as incumbent Jack Prychak chose to run as a Councillor, being one of the six acclaimed in the town. They are; Anthony (Chuck) Allary, Jim Graves, Al Langley, Michael Pasloski, Stephen Spearman and Prychak. “It was exciting,” said Banks. “... It hasn’t really totally sunk in yet ... but knowing I was the first female mayor made it special.” Banks, who said she had a meeting with the Town Administrator set for Friday, has a general vision for the term ahead. “I want to try to help keep our small town values,” she said. While recognizing Springside is largely a ‘bedroom’ community for Yorkton, Banks said there has been a unique ‘feel’ to the smaller community in the past. “Some of that’s got lost ... I hope to pull the community together a bit more again, get doing some of the things we used to.”

Federal government moves to improve rural connectivity By Brian Zinchuk Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Estevan Mercury
We’re making real investments in Canadians, their success, and in their future.”
Ottawa – The 80s may have wanted their MTV, but 2020s rural Canada wants their Wi-Fi. And the federal Liberal government is doing something about it, announcing a $1.75 billion program to improve connectivity, principally in rural areas of the country. And in an era where Elon Musk’s SpaceX is developing a low-earth orbit constellation of satellites called Starlink to provide high-speed connectivity to rural areas around the world, accessible by consumers, the Canadian government is turning to a made-inCanada solution, using Ottawa-based Telesat. Telesat’s model is to work with other providers to provide the consumerfacing product. In a press conference in Ottawa, Prime Minister Trudeau said on Nov. 9, “Our government is launching the $1.75 billion universal broadband fund to connect all Canadians to high speed internet. “This fund will be used to build infrastructure across the country, almost entirely in rural and remote communities. And for places that are just too far to reach, including in remote areas in the north, we’ve reached a $600 million agreement with Telesat for satellite capacity to improve broadband, along with the $2 billion we’ve already put down for broadband through the Canada infrastructure bank’s growth plan.
Trudeau continued, “Today’s investment puts us on track to get 98 per cent of Canadians connected to high speed internet in the next few years, and everyone connected. a few years after that. These are ambitious targets, and we’re ready to meet them. In fact, to accelerate our progress, right now, these need to succeed.” Trudeau said his government had spent $6 billion over the last five years to connect 1.2 million households to highspeed internet, nearly 10 times the $700 million the previous Conservative government had spent. The fund was boosted $750 million from the original $1 billion in the 2019 budget. The backgrounder provided by the government notes the strategy is to connect every Canadian by 2030. The strategy is to reach 98 per cent of the population by 2026. Elements of the program include a “rapid response stream,” with up to $150 million allocated for projects that will be completed quickly and be in service by Nov. 15, 2021. For largeimpact projects, the Canada Infrastructure Bank will be brought in as a partner for projects that are “transformative in terms of results and scope,” according to a backgrounder provided. There’s also funding for “a diversity of projects,” from “small ISPs (internet service providers),

municipal-led projects, Indigenous projects, as well as projects from the larger ISPs.” A further $50 million is included for mobility projects benefitting Indigenous peoples. This includes along highways and roads, as well as Indigenous communities. The agreement with Telesat is to secure highspeed Internet capacity over Canada through the company’s low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. Telesat’s constellation will utilize next-generation technology to significantly improve connectivity in rural and remote Canada, including the far north. Telesat’s website says its LEO network is truly global, noting, “every point on earth is covered, including polar regions.” The company plans on expanding its low earth orbit constellation to 298 satellites by 2023, with plans to build out its constellation to up to 1,600 satellites down the road to meet demand. Under the agreement, the Government has committed up to $600 million to secure capacity on Ottawa-based Telesat’s LEO satellite constellation. This capacity will be made available to Internet service providers at a reduced rate in order to provide highspeed, reliable Internet access to the most challenging rural and remote communities in Canada, Telesat noted in a release. “Telesat LEO will transform connectivity in Canada, and this agreement will bring affordable enterprise grade, high-speed con-

We look forward to working with Canadian service providers to provide this capacity to qualified communities across the country to get all Canadians connected as

Telesat was formerly a Crown corporation known as Telesat Canada. It privatized in 1998. It launched Canada’s first communications satellite in 1972.

Foods with ample antioxidants The term “antioxidants” is frequently associated with cancer prevention. Antioxidants are helpful, but many people may not fully comprehend the role antioxidants play in fighting cancer. Antioxidants are chemicals that interact with and neutralize free radicals, thus preventing them from causing damage, offers the National Cancer Institute. Free radicals are formed in the body by exposure to ionizing radiation and other radiation. An excessive amount of free radicals in the body can negatively affect cells and potentially lead to the for-
mation of various types of cancer and other diseases. While the body makes some of the antioxidants it uses to scavenge free radicals and render them ineffective, it also relies on antioxidants from food sources. The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute says that, to date, nine randomized controlled clinical trials of dietary antioxidant supplements for cancer prevention have been conducted worldwide. Some studies have pointed to the benefits of antioxidant supplements, while others found that these supplements can actually elevate
cancer risk or diminish the efficacy of cancer treatments. Increasing antioxidant intake may be best accomplished by eating a variety of plant-based foods that contain high levels of naturally occurring antioxidants, rather than through supplementation. So what foods offer the highest levels of potentially cancerfighting antioxidants? The largest and most comprehensive study to date into antioxidant levels was published in 2004 in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Researchers analyzed antioxi-
dant levels in more than 100 foods. In addition to pointing out many foods people already knew to be antioxidant-rich, researchers uncovered some surprises. Here’s a look at some of the best bets for beneficial foods that may be part of a cancerfighting diet. • small red bean (dried) • wild blueberry • red kidney bean (dried) • pinto bean • cultivated blueberry • cranberry • cooked artichoke • blackberry • prune
• raspberry
These foods rank high among those with the most antioxidants per serving, according to the USDA. However, many other foods also are great sources of antioxidants. These include russet potatoes, pecans, gala apples, walnuts, Indian gooseberries, cloves, and mint.
Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, particularly berries, can provide many of the antioxidants the human body needs to neutralize the potential damage caused by free radicals.
The health benefits of carrots for a snack When looking to quell hunger pangs that can pop up between meals, many people reach for snacks. Snacks can be a great way to prevent overeating at mealtime, but such benefits can be negated if people choose the wrong snacks. Potato chips and sugary packaged baked goods may be readily available inside office vending machines and at convenience stores, but such snacks don’t pack the nutritional punch of carrots. Considered a superfood by many people, carrots are a simple snack that can be found at any grocery store and brought along to an office, regardless of whether that office is a traditional office, a work site or anywhere else people spend their
workdays. Vitamins and minerals Carrots are a great source of various vitamins and minerals. According to the health and wellness information site Healthline®, carrots are great sources of vitamin A, biotin, vitamin K1, potassium, and vitamin B6. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts into a vitamin A, a nutrient that promotes strong vision and plays a vital role in immune function.

Studies have shown that biotin plays an important role in the body’s ability to metabolize fat and protein. Vitamin K1 plays a vital role in blood coagulation, which is the process of making blood clot.

Coagulation enables the blood to plug and heal a wound. Potassium can help people control their blood pressure, which can benefit their longterm health in various ways. Finally, vitamin B6 plays a role in converting food into energy, making it an ideal afternoon snack for people who want to quell their hunger pangs and give them-
selves a needed energy boost. Carrots and long-term health Carrots also have been shown to have longterm health benefits. In 2016, the American Institute for Cancer Research added carrots to its list of “Foods that Fight Cancer.” The links between carrots and reducing cancer risk are many and include carrots’ status as a low-cal-
orie snack. Low-calorie snacks can help people reduce their risk of overweight and obesity, which the AICR notes are a cause of 11 cancers. Studies, including one published in the European Journal of Nutrition, have linked carrots to lower cholesterol levels. That’s a considerable benefit, as high cholesterol is among the most significant risk factors for heart disease.
Carrots have long been touted as helping to improve vision, and that reputation is wellearned. When the betacarotene in carrots is converted into vitamin A, that vitamin A combines with a protein called opsin to form rhodopsin, which is needed for night and color vision. When snack time beckons, carrots can help people reap immediate and long-term rewards.
Did you know - sugar Sugar is a naturally occurring component in many healthy foods, including fruit. But people looking to eat healthy should be wary of foods that contain added sugars, which can pose a significant threat to long-term health. According to the Harvard Medical School, added sugars are not currently listed on Nutrition Facts labels (though the Mayo Clinic expects that
to change in the future). That can make it hard to spot foods that contain substantial amounts of added sugars. However, the HMS recommends looking at the ingredients listings on food labels and keeping an eye out for words ending in “ose.” The Mayo Clinic notes that fructose, dextrose, glucose, and maltose are the chemical names for various types of sugar. These ingredients can
serve as a red flag that a product contains added sugars that can be detrimental to your overall health. In addition to words ending in “ose,” shoppers can scan ingredients listings for other common types of added sugars, including cane juice, cane syrup, corn sweeteners, highfructose corn syrup, fruit juice concentrate and nectars, honey, malt or maple syrup, and molasses.

Saskatchewan Veteran Service Club Support Program receive significant funding increase in 2021-22 The Saskatchewan Veteran Service Club Support Program continues to strengthen the long-term sustainability of the clubs as well as support not only the veterans, but their families and communities. The program was introduced two years ago to provide grants for repairs and upgrades for active veteran clubs in Saskatchewan. As committed by Premier Scott Moe during Saskatchewan’s 29th general election, the Government of Saskatchewan will move forward with an increase in funding for the Veteran Service Club Support Program, increase the total amount available from $100,000 to $1.5 million in the 2021-22 fiscal year. “For the past two years, this program has been extremely well received and has demonstrated the importance of the support these veteran service clubs provide to veterans and to their communities is more vital than ever now,” Moe said. “A significant

boost in funding to this program is just one small way that our government can demonstrate our gratitude for the sacrifices that veterans throughout Saskatchewan have made for the freedoms we enjoy today.” “We knew when launching the grant program, that Legion and ANAVETS facilities were integral components of the infrastructure of many Saskatchewan communities,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. “And, as we prepare once again to honour our veterans and keep the memories of our fallen heroes alive on Remembrance Day, I am proud to say we have kept our promise to significantly increase funding to this program.” The Saskatchewan Veteran Service Club Support Program is administered by the Royal Canadian Legion Saskatchewan Command, who also sits on the adjudication committee with the Saskatchewan Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans (ANAVETS).

Remembrance Day service small but vital
Staff Photo by Devin Wilger
The annual Remembrance Day service usually fills the Flexihall at the Gallagher Centre, as people across Yorkton gather to remember the sacrifices of Canadian veterans who served over the generations. In 2020, that wasn’t possible due to limits on the size of gatherings, but that didn’t make Remembrance Day any less vital, so the Royal Canadian Legion Alexander Ross Branch #77 held a smaller service, and broadcast it to the larger community online. It didn’t go smoothly this year, as there was a power outage mid-service, but the small group remembered Canadian veterans and paid tribute, laying wreaths at the small cenotaph and ensuring all knew that, no matter what happens, we will remember them.

Continued from Page 15 “We really appreciate the support of the Provincial Government toward Veterans Service Clubs,” Royal Canadian Legion Saskatchewan Command President Keith Andrews said. “These clubs are an integral part of our communities around the province. This grant ensures the longevity and continuity of these landmarks.” “This program has been very successful for many of our Legion clubs and ANAVETS units,” ANAVETS Saskatchewan Provincial Command President Rick Taylor said. “We look forward to participating once again. This time even more veterans and their loved ones will benefit from this greatly enhanced program.” In 2020, 25 registered, non-profit military service clubs, Legion branches and ANAVETS units based in Saskatchewan, received funding grants. The average grant awarded was $3,889.
