Feeding the hungry in Kamsack turns into a snowball of kindness Courtesy of Kamsack Times Earlier this year, the Kamsack Times ran a story about a grandmother who was feeding the hungry from her own kitchen in downtown Kamsack.

In the weeks following publication of the story, the volunteer grandmother, Leona Dubois, and the friends who joined her in the service, began to receive phone calls and donations from people who wanted to support the initiative.

“I was blown away,” shared Dubois. “At first, it was a phone call from a gentleman in Yorkton.

He said the article was the nicest thing he has read in a long time and wants to bring his wife for a drive to meet us and give a donation!”

But the support didn’t stop there.

“Immediately after the story ran in the paper, we were blessed with several large donations of supplies, cash and canned goods. I am going to have to move out of my home soon just to make room for supplies!” exclaimed Dubois.

Susan Michl of Canora is another volunteer who strives to serve at least one of the two days of the weekly food sharing, on top of her duties as a mother and foster par-

ent.

“Shortly after the story came out, I also started receiving phone calls from people who wanted to make donations,” reported Michl. “I asked how they knew where to find me – and their answer was: the phone book! So, local residents read the story, made the effort to look up my name, and called me to offer support. One woman said she could donate some carrots, and another offered scarves.

I was a bit surprised to receive the calls at first, but it’s actually very moving.”

A Facebook group called Feeding the People that was launched by Dubois, has also gleaned a number of comments expressing encouragement and support for the work the women are doing.

“We have received kind and supportive sentiments from many locals, but what was remarkable was seeing that followers were coming from as far as New Zealand and England,” explained Dubois.

“A cash donation came in from one gentleman who is currently fighting cancer and is hospitalized in Regina,” said Dubois. “Another donation came from some folks in Moose Jaw. One local lady made scarves every week until she ran out of material

And the list goes on.

Dubois continued, “This past Monday, I heard a knock at the door. I opened it to see a local florist holding a bouquet of flowers sent

by Leson’s Funeral Home of Canora. Along with the beautiful flowers, the funeral home has offered to sponsor the costs of an entire hot meal service once a month.”

Dubois continued, “Most recently, I made two huge pots of borscht.

too much, but I took both pots downtown anyway.

We ended up running out – serving hot meals to 65 people!”

The recent cold snap didn’t stop the ladies from showing up with hot food and fresh baked goods, but Dubois defined it as challenging.

From the beginning, Dubois has had the help from her long-time friend, Mary Hare.

“When temperatures

dropped really low, it was getting to be a bit much for Mary and I. On those days, we simply decided to sit inside the truck and pass food out the window.”

Dubois says there are so many donations coming in these days that she doesn’t have to purchase much herself.

The Keesekoose First Nation and Cote First Nation have both donated food and supplies. A recent meal included roast beef sandwiches. Not only was the roast beef donated, but the artisan bread, made in a wood fire oven, was donated from a bakery making deliveries in the region.

While the women are happy to feed anyone who comes by, they are also willing to offer friendship and prayers.

“Feeding the body is one thing,” explained Dubois. “But all of our efforts are really about feeding the soul. The Word of God is the bread of life. Some people we meet on the street have asked us for prayers – and Susan is especially good at praying with them while Mary and I keep busy with the food

service. We did receive a donation of Bibles that we always bring with us, but we don’t just hand them out to everyone like we do with food. If someone shows real interest in taking one, we are happy to gift them with one.”

Dubois says the generosity she observes in Kamsack is heartwarming.

“When I first moved here, Kamsack didn’t make a great impression on me. Our home was broken into multiple times and items were stolen from our house, our yard, and our basement. Meat was taken from our freezer and I even had hot pies cooling outside that were stolen. It was disheartening,” admitted Dubois.

“However, these days I feel a real change in the spirit around Kamsack. One man stopped to chat on the street, and after some encouragement, he agreed to take some soup. When I handed him the single cup of soup, he handed me $25.

It has been nothing short of amazing,” concluded Dubois.

Local wildlife advocate receives provincial award Courtesy of Canora Courier Doug Lapitsky of Mikado, a long-time member of the River Ridge Fish and Game League, has received the prestigious Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) Gordon Lund Memorial Award.

According to information provided by SWF, the award is presented annually to “the person who, by thought, effort, or deed, is considered to have contributed the most towards the conservation of Saskatchewan’s renewable natural resources (i.e. someone who spends countless hours teaching our youth about wildlife and conservation, a certain person who has spearheaded an ongoing project and has stuck with it from beginning to end, etc.). This award is not limited to SWF members.”

Nominees for the award are judged on the following: • The nominee’s activities have clearly contributed to the conservation of one or more of Saskatchewan’s renewable resources.

• The nominee’s activities are expected to have lasting beneficial effects on Saskatchewan’s renewable resources or on public awareness of same.

• The nominee’s activities are expected to have influence on future conservation activities with reference to our

Thomas nominated Lapitsky for the award. renewable resources.

• The nominee’s activities lead to benefits through improved use of our resources or heightened public interest in our renewable resources.

Lapitsky was nominated for the award by Kathy Thomas, River Ridge president.

“Doug Lapitsky has been a dedicated member of River Ridge Fish and Game for over 20 years and to say that he is a true advocate for conservation and responsible management of our natural wildlife and habitat resources would be an understatement,” said Thomas in the nom-

ination letter.

“Everything Doug does always ends in a benefit to habitat in Saskatchewan. His proactive and collaborative approach, coupled with his passion for habitat health and protection have made him an instrumental set of boots on the ground. Whether he is checking out the suitability and potential of land to be purchased for Habitat Trust, signing up land owners for the Wildlife Tomorrow program or driving around the province changing out old signage on Wildlife Habitat lands, Doug can be found hard Continued on Page 3

Breakfast Program continues to provide valuable service Courtesy of Preeceville Progress For the past three years, the SPE (Sturgis, Preeceville and Endeavour) Family Resource Centre and the Sturgis Composite School have run a breakfast program using funding provided by a Child Nutrition Program grant from the Ministry of Education.

“Food For Thought has provided toast, fresh fruit and vegetables each day with the help of many community volunteers, and provided valuable social interaction for all participants. However, given the public health orders in place at this time, it was not possible to implement this program as planned,” stated Karolyn Kosheluk, pro-

gram co-ordinator.

Upon consultation with the school administration and staff, a number of needs and concerns were determined.

There is a need for reusable water bottles for some of the students in the school, as currently there is a high usage, and thus waste, of Styrofoam glasses for drinking water due to the unavailability of the school’s water fountains.

Dean Serdachny of Sturgis and representative of Farmers Business Network made a generous donation that enabled the program to purchase reusable water bottles for all students and staff. It was a partnership between the Family Resource Centre funding from a Child Nutrition Program grant

The Sturgis Composite School staff and students all received a free reusable water bottle through a generous donation from Dean Serdachny of Sturgis, who is also a representative of Farmers Business Network. Students who posed for a photograph with the water bottles, from left, were: (back row) Allyssa Mirva and Justice Stittle, and (front) Ryder Beatty and Derwin Boucher. and the school.

Additionally, there remains the usual need for good quality, nutri-

tious food choices in the school. The school’s canteen and vending machines are not access-

ible because of health restrictions. There is also no access to microwaves. This has made it difficult to provide much in the way of healthy food options by way of this grant, due to the high likelihood of waste and contamination.

There was also a need to keep this program as simple as possible due to the current staffing/ scheduling situation, and a strong desire to keep waste of provided food options to a minimum.

The nutritional needs of the students in Sturgis Composite School need to be met in such as a way as to ensure compliance to all public health restrictions with minimal contact from outside sources.

Supplies will be

sourced locally and will help reduce environmental and food waste.

The provision of water bottles will have a more lasting impact in the school, however, the juice boxes and granola bars are a temporary substitute for the usual nutritious foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, milk, and cheese that were planned and will hopefully be possible for the next school year.

The support of community-minded people like Dean Serdachny and Farmer’s Business Network is greatly appreciated. This was unexpected but very welcome and will make a positive difference in a year that has been full of challenges for the school students and staff.

Calling all citizen scientists: help classify polar bears

By Sarath Peiris and USask Research Profile and Impact SASKATOON - University of Saskatchewan (USask) researcher Doug Clark is launching a first-of-its-kind research project that will engage citizen volunteers to help advance knowledge about polar behaviour by analyzing a decade’s worth of images captured by trail cameras at Wapusk National Park in northern Manitoba.

“This is a totally different way to do polar bear research,” said Clark, an associate professor at USask’s School of Environment and Sustainability. “It’s noninvasive, it involves the public for the first time,

and it’s being done in a way that can carry on through the pandemic without endangering anyone in northern communities.”

Non-invasive research also is of considerable interest to northerners because it’s not stressful for animals, he said.

Clark is collaborating with Oxford University penguinologist Tom Hart on the project, which will be run on Zooniverse—a “people-powered” online platform that has more than two million volunteers worldwide who assist researchers in almost every discipline to sort and organize data.

LOCAL WILDLIFE Continued from Page 2 at work for our cause.

“Doug has been instrumental in organizing demonstrations and educational field days showcasing the positive impacts of using livestock grazing and forage seeding to rejuvenate Habitat Trust forage acres. He has spearheaded several projects collaborating with local farmers to rejuvenate these grasslands. The resulting bump in forage productivity has in turn provided grazing or hay sale revenue, helping to recover costs and pay land taxes on the land, all while accomplishing the end goal of healthy habitat for our wildlife.

“Doug is not afraid of a challenge,” continued the nomination letter. “In fact, he was one of the first to put up his hand to volunteer to support a tree planting challenge to break a world record. He co-ordinated the local logistics and on-the-ground support for the planting of white spruce trees in our area totaling 20,000 trees in 2019 and

35,000 trees in 2020.

“Doug always has his ear to the ground for opportunities to make a real difference for wildlife and habitat. Last year, he found out about an opportunity for our River Ridge Club to support the purchase of an elk decoy to be used by local conservation officers to catch illegal hunters and poachers. Because of him, we were able to help provide the officers with a valuable tool in their work to conserve our resources.

“A tireless volunteer in the River Ridge Club, Doug co-ordinated the construction and delivery of a memorial forest cairn, provides overnight security at our gun show every year and is a stable set of helping hands at our annual banquet and awards night, all of which results in dollars raised and donated to Habitat Trust every year.

“Whether it is world record sized projects or small scale volunteer activities, if Doug is involved, you can be sure that it will be to the benefit of wildlife and habitat conservation.”

the analysis. (The platform gets institutional support from Oxford University and the Adler Planetarium, and receives grants from a variety of sources.)

“This allows people, who might otherwise just passively consume images on TV and social media, to participate in polar bear research and understand how these bears are interacting with people and other wildlife in what we know is a rapidly changing environment,” said Clark.

The volunteers are supplied with a field guide and asked to count the number of bears in photos, their gender, cubs, body condition and other factors, choosing from provided options. Beta testing with more than 60 volunteers showed the process works well. The photos will be uploaded in tranches over the coming months, allowing volunteers to work through

one batch before moving on to the next.

“Volunteers can help us process data in ways that are incredibly labour-intensive, which otherwise would take us and our students years to do. Frankly, Zooniverse produces more robust data and more robust analyses than if we were tiredly flipping through photos on our own.”

The project will be launched Feb. 27, on International Polar Bear Day. The research project began in 2011 when Clark was asked by Parks Canada to find out if the field camps it established in Wapusk attracted or repelled polar bears—a question that still hasn’t been conclusively answered.

Other questions his team is trying to answer are: • What are the drivers of polar bear visits to human infrastructure/activity? (i.e. is it environmental, is it a

result of a lack of sea ice/ nutritional stress, or is it a response to human activity?)

• Are there changes over time in where/when polar bears, and all the other Arctic and boreal species seen in the photos, are observed?

Researchers have installed five non-invasive trail cameras at each of three field camp sites, and eight more at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre that operate year round, and have captured more than 600 discrete polar bear observations over 10 years, along with images of other species such as wolf, caribou, grizzly bears, moose, Arctic and red foxes, and even occasional wolverines.

The four sites are along the Hudson Bay coast and are separated by almost 200 kilometres, across the ecological boundary between boreal forest and tundra providing invaluable data on multiple species in a changing environment.

Ryan Brook, an associate professor in USask’s College of Agriculture and Bioresources, is taking advantage of the lucky “by-catch” of Clark’s project—the images of caribou and wolves— to conduct research on these species, especially caribou populations, at a time of Arctic warming and changing weather patterns.

EDITORIAL

Faulty economic thinking makes destroying nature profitable Everything we need to survive — food, water, air, shelter — comes from nature, of which we are a part.

Fuelled by the sun’s energy, this planet is amazing in its ability to replenish and recycle the basic elements of life.

Now people are outpacing Earth’s ability to maintain these essential services. Our economic systems not only ignore this unsustainable plunder, they encourage it. That’s led to a 70 per cent decline in mammal, bird, fish, reptile and amphibian populations over the past 50 years. One million plant and animal species — one-quarter of the global total — now face extinction.

A big part of the problem is that destroying nature is more profitable than protecting it, and tools such as gross domestic product are not fit for assessing real economic health. GDP is “based on a faulty application of economics,” according to an independent review on the economics of biodiversity by University of Cambridge professor Sir Partha Dasgupta.

“Truly sustainable economic growth and development means recognising that our long-term prosperity relies on rebalancing our demand of Nature’s goods and services with its capacity to supply them,” Dasgupta argues. The 600-page report, commissioned by the U.K. treasury to help set the agenda for its government’s 25-year environment plan, notes it would take at least 1.6 Earths to maintain our current lifestyles.

GDP measures production but does not account for damage to or loss of essential natural services. Capital produced by industrial development is measured as positive, but the consequent loss of natural systems that absorb carbon, purify water and air, provide habitat for pollinators, prevent soil erosion and more aren’t counted, regardless of the costs to everything from human health to water and food supplies.

Between 1992 and 2014, produced capital per per-

son doubled, but “natural capital” stock per person declined by nearly 40 per cent, according to the University of Cambridge. GDP measures that as “positive growth,” indicating a thriving economy. Because of this outdated and backwards economic paradigm, governments worldwide subsidize activities that damage nature by at least US$6 trillion a year.

This puts economies, livelihoods and well-being at risk. “Nature is our home,” Dasgupta says. “Good economics demands we manage it better.”

The report explains that, along with losing biodiversity and increasing climate change risks, if we continue to degrade and destroy natural habitats, we’ll face further and even worse pandemics, as most new disease outbreaks, including COVID-19, are “zoonotic.” That is, as we encroach on habitat, pathogens jump from other animals to humans.

The report outlines three areas where transformative action is needed. First, we must reduce our demands so they don’t exceed nature’s ability to continue to supply them. This means increasing natural services by protecting and restoring natural areas, and reducing harmful forms of consumption, such as meat-heavy diets.

The second area is one that we’ve been writing about for some time: adopting better ways to meas-

ure economic success. Various ideas are being considered around the world, including “doughnut economics,” developed by Kate Raworth and the “gross national happiness” index promoted by the Kingdom of Bhutan.

Dasgupta argues that national accounting must include natural capital, but also human health, knowledge, skills and community.

The third area for change is to transform institutions and systems like finance and education to enable and sustain the necessary changes. This means ensuring that money flows to enhancing rather than degrading nature. It also means nature studies must be included in education at all levels.

“If we care about our common future and the common future of our descendants, we should all in part be naturalists,” Dasgupta writes.

To achieve the transformation, supranational institutions must be developed to protect public goods like rainforests and oceans and to ensure that poorer countries are able to protect ecosystems without suffering economic losses. Such transformative change would cost far less than delaying.

The economic systems we developed a relatively short time ago have wreaked havoc with the natural systems on which our health and lives depend.

Gauging our economic success on constant growth, on endless cycles of work, production and excess consumption, has led to biodiversity loss, disease outbreaks, pollution, climate disruption and greater divides between rich and poor.

Change is not only possible, it’s absolutely necessary.

Rocanville lowers price of Cameron Crescent lots Rob Paul - Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (The World-Spectator - Moosomin) At their regular meeting on Wednesday, Rocanville Town Council made the decision to slash the prices of lots in Cameron Crescent by 50 per cent, in a bid to incentivize buyers.

The subdivision on the east side of Rocanville consists of 22 lots, of which four have been sold, leaving 18 available lots.

Council decided that cutting the cost of the lots by 50 per cent would help buyers looking to build a home secure a loan.

The lots on Cameron Crescent vary in size and price, and once purchased, must be built on within two years.

Mayor Ron Reed says he hopes the discount helps buyers and prospective home owners who are interested in the land.

“If it’s more enticing to get the land, then it’s easier for them to move forward,” he says.

Town moving toward restructuring of recreation There was discussion at the meeting Wednesday about restructuring how the town’s recreation facilities are managed. Currently each facility in the town has a board that manages that facility, but the town wants to move toward having the rec director oversee the facilities, with the boards in

place for input and fundraising. Council sat down with Rec Director Andrea Logan on Wednesday to discuss some of the changes.

“The rec director would be a rec manager overall and oversee all the boards, and rather than the boards managing the rec director,” said Mayor Ron Reed after the meeting.

“We would keep the boards as far as input from each different group. But then they would report their needs and wants to the rec director and then the rec director would make the final decision on overall rec decisions.”

Reed says the new model would likely start with the pool and the rink, and then be applied to other town facilities as the town transitions its facilities to the new model of management. Reed said the rec director could look after things like scheduling and potentially staffing, leaving the boards free to focus more on things like fundraising instead of the overall management duties of the facilities.

“They would be more like a fundraising board versus a managing or an administrative board where they do everything on their own underneath the rec director,” says Reed.

Outdoor rink, dog park, walking paths, and new pool discussed In sitting down with Rec Director Andrea Logan on

Wednesday, the town and Logan also discussed a few major recreation projects, both short-term and long-term, as well as securing grant money for the projects.

First on the agenda was Rocanville’s indoor swimming pool. Logan said the pool is in need of some major renos and repairs, including a new liner, new decking, a dehumidifier and air exchange system. She asked council if she should start applying for grants for these projects, and said the pool board has talked about whether the town should be looking at a whole new pool at some point.

She said the importance of having an indoor pool is big for Rocanville, as it is one of the main thing that sets their town’s rec facilities apart. No other town in the area has a public indoor pool, and most have outdoor pools.

Councillor Owen Wilson pointed out that a new pool would be a very big, major long-term goal, and that the town should be applying for grants now for repairs in order to keep the current pool operational for as long as possible.

Logan suggested that councillors do a walk through of the facility with her one evening to review all of the work that needs to be done, and a date was set for that to be done.

The town also discussed

their plans for a walking path and dog park, which would be developed in a copse of trees on the east side of town behind the former Grainger’s Excavating location. Logan said she will begin applying for grants for things like benches and dog bag stations for that area and council figured it was a project that could be completed fairly quickly once the weather is warmer.

A location for a permanent outdoor rink was also discussed with council favoring an area behind the curling rink. The plan is to level and area and have boards up by next winter so that the rink can be used, and Logan said she would apply for grants for that project as well.

Ice plant to be shut off at rink The ice plant at the rink will be shut off sometime within the next week in order to save money on rink costs due to very little activity taking place in the rink because of Covid-19.

The rink will continue to operate with natural ice for as long as possible until the weather turns and the ice begins to melt.

Goulden thanked for years of service on library board Council passed a motion to purchase a gift for Deenie Goulden in recognition of her long-time service as the town rep on the library board.

Goulden has been doing the job since 2006, first as the town’s rep during her time on council, and then as a member at large afterwards.

As per town policy, the town’s library rep would be paid to attend the library meetings, however Goulden has never been paid for her work, nor asked to be paid.

Council decided to purchase a $500 gift card to thank her for her service.

Reduced rent for dental office, playschool extended Council passed a motion to extend a reduced rental rate for the playschool and dental office for six more months. The playschool dental office, which are located in town facilities, have had their rent reduced by 50 per cent to alleviate the effects of Covid-19, and it was decided to review that rate at the end of 2020. Council made the decision to extend the reduced rate for six more months and then review it again at that time.

Letter of thanks After the town created some outdoor winter walking paths around the ball diamonds in Rocanville, council received a letter of thanks for a family that was thrilled with the paths, saying they have been using them often and enjoying being able to take their dogs out on the paths.

“Our next big thing”, construction begins for exhibit at Royal Saskatchewan Museum The Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) has begun construction on a brand new gallery to open in spring 2022 called “HOME: Life in the Anthropocene.” This new RSM addition will explore the human condition and its impact on the world and will replace the previously known Human Factor exhibit.

“The Royal Saskatchewan Museum continues to offer new, world-class experiences to its visitors,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. “This new human-centric exhibit will be another terrific addition that

will create dramatic and educational experiences using artistry and some of the most modern museum exhibit techniques.”

The RSM will remain open to visitors throughout the construction process, but will limit the amount of space available to visitors on the second floor with the last third of the upstairs being closed off until the new exhibit opens.

Guests will be guided around the closed off area on the second floor with signage and floor stickers that will allow for single-flow passage way with enough room to safely socially distance from

other guests.

“The HOME exhibit will inspire the same sort of awe and wonder the Royal Saskatchewan Museum inspired in people when we unveiled Scotty and the CN T.rex Gallery,” Royal Saskatchewan Museum Director Peter Menzies said.

“The ‘wow factor’ is going to be enormous when we unveil this new exhibit in the Spring of 2022.”

As per current Saskatchewan Health Authority COVID-19 restrictions, occupancy of the RSM is limited to 30 people. Visitors are asked to check the

SaskTel reminds customers to protect themselves from cyber scams by using digital self-defense March 1, 2021 – March is Fraud Prevention Month and SaskTel is reminding its customers to practice digital selfdefense to protect themselves and their personal information from falling victim to cyber scams.

“Modern communications technologies have made it easier than ever to connect with our friends and loved ones, especially during this past year when those connections have mattered most,” said Doug Burnett, SaskTel President and CEO. “However, with cyber criminals also using these same technologies to evolve and execute their scams, it has become increasingly important for us all to take proactive steps to protect our personal information online and to know what to do when we receive a suspicious message.”

“Cyber scams look very real and anyone can be victimized. Your identity information belongs to you, and you are responsible for it. If you are asked to share your

identity information, ensure you have a full understanding of what it is going to be used for, how long it will be retained, and if it will be further disseminated,” said Inspector Andrew Farquhar, Officer-inCharge of Federal Operations for the Saskatchewan RCMP. “Cyber scams see no borders. We encourage anyone who may have fallen victim to a cyber scam to report these to us immediately because it may assist police in advancing our investigations and help us iden-

tify additional victims in Saskatchewan or across Canada.”

Digital Self-Defense – Proactive Protection Tips: • Use a strong and unique password or passphrase for each online account.

• Don’t share personal or other sensitive information on social media or online.

• Use strong anti-virus and anti-malware/spyware software programs on your devices.

• Keep your device software up to date and

install critical security patches as soon as they are available.

• Know that a legitimate business will never ask for you to confirm personal or account information in an unsolicited email, phone call or message.

Digital Self-Defense – What to do if you receive a suspicious message?

• Do not open the message, report it to complaints.abuse@sasktel.com and then delete it. In some cases, simply opening the message may compromise the

security of your device.

• If you opened the message, do not reply to it or click on any links or attachments. Instead, follow up with the person or business who supposedly sent it by navigating to their website through a legitimate search engine or by contacting the person directly.

If you think you have fallen victim to a cyber scam you should immediately report it to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre by calling 1-888495-8501. All types of fraud can also be reported to the Saskatchewan RCMP by calling 310-RCMP or contacting your local police service.

Additionally, you should act quickly to change your online passwords, and inform essential businesses, such as your financial institution, that your information may have been compromised so that the necessary steps can be taken to secure your accounts.

USask helps lead COVID-19 saliva dental research study Saskatoon – Dentistry students and staff remain among the few groups on-site nearly daily at universities and colleges across Canada, including those at the University of Saskatchewan (USask).

Their continued presence on campus, and the nature of the dental work itself, increase their risk of exposure to COVID-19. The Government of Canada is investing approximately $1.4 million through its COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, to support a pan-Canadian study investigating COVID-19 infection rates, transmission risks, and immune system responses of those working in dental clinics, laboratories, and offices in universities.

Dr. Walter Siqueira (DDS, PhD), professor and associate dean academic in the College of Dentistry is a leader in this study through the USask Salivary Proteomics Research Laboratory, one of only a few labs in the world focused on applied salivary research. The study, which is co-led by Drs. Paul Allison (DDS, PhD) and Sreenath Madathil (PhD) of McGill University’s Faculty of Dentistry and Dr. Michael

The study will recruit 800 dental and dental hygiene students, dental residents, faculty and support staff from across the country—80 participants from each school. Every month for a year, participants will be asked to provide a saliva sample and complete a COVID-19 related questionnaire. The questionnaire will address the participants’ sociodemographic, socioeconomic, and health status, and ask more role-specific questions about the tasks they perform, the treatments they dispense, and the protective equipment and protocols they use.

Glogauer (DDS, PhD) of the Faculty of Dentistry at University of Toronto, includes investigators from all 10 Canadian dental schools.

“This is an exciting project

that has brought all of the Canadian dental schools together to address an area of COVID-19 research that hasn’t yet been explored. My lab has spent significant time stan-

dardizing a saliva-based method of testing for COVID-19 which will be an integral part of this project,” said Siqueira.

“I am honoured to put USask as a major player in this

“The results from this research study will further inform the effective infection control protocols in dental schools, and possibly more broadly to Canadian university and college campuses across the country,” said Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Theresa Tam (MD).

FCC AgriSpirit Fund now open for applications Regina, Saskatchewan, March 1, 2021 – Farm Credit Canada is now accepting applications from registered charities and non-profit organizations in rural Canada for the FCC AgriSpirit Fund. The fund will award $1.5 million in funding this year.

The application deadline is March 31, 2021 and FCC will announce

the selected projects in September.

Rural community groups can view the eligibility requirements, past projects and apply online by visiting www. fccagrispiritfund.ca.

For the past 17 years, FCC has awarded rural community groups between $5,000 and $25,000 in FCC AgriSpirit funding for various com-

munity improvement initiatives. This year, the fund will once again support projects that enrich the lives of residents in cities, towns or Indigenous communities with fewer than 150,000 people.

Examples include refrigeration and equipment to support food waste reduction and recovery, construction of

or upgrades to community buildings, firefighting and rescue equipment, play structures and recreation areas and renovations or upgrades that reduce a building’s energy footprint.

Since inception of the FCC AgriSpirit Fund in 2004, FCC has supported 1,356 capital projects in rural Canada totaling $16.5 million in dona-

tions.

Get your head out of your apps and focus on the road Here’s a notification: distracted and drowsy driving is the March Traffic Spotlight When you hear that ping or feel your pocket vibrate, the urge to check your phone can be tough to ignore. But when you’re driving, is that message from your new match on Tinder -- or seeing how many reactions there are to your Instagram story -- worth a massive fine or crashing your ride?

The answer is always no.

Get your head out of your apps and keep your eyes on the road.

Distracted driving is the focus of March’s Traffic Safety Spotlight, with an additional focus on drowsy driving. Police across the province will be on the lookout for drivers who

aren’t giving the road their full and undistracted attention.

Distracted drivers face stiff penalties. Your first ticket will cost you $580 and four demerit points. The penalties escalate for repeat offences, with huge fines, more demerits, and weeklong vehicle impoundments.

But the real concern is the potential to hurt yourself or other people on the road.

“Ignore the temptation to look at your phone when you’re driving,” said Penny McCune, Chief Operating Officer of the Auto Fund.

“When you’ve arrived at your destination, you can

doomscroll, go down a TikTok rabbit hole, or binge-watch Bridgerton to your heart’s content. But when you’re behind the wheel, driving is all you should be doing.”

Fatigue is another factor that can keep a driver from giving the act of driving the attention it deserves. If you are drowsy driving and can’t stay awake, recognize the signs and get off the road. When tired, drivers have a slower reaction time, decreased awareness and impaired judgement.

So, here are some helpful reminders for drivers: Take distractions out of the

equation Turn off your notifications, power down your phone, or put your cellphone in a place where you won’t be tempted by it, just like this.

Plan ahead Passengers and pets should have everything they need before you hit the road.

Select your music and program your GPS in advance.

Make sure you are well rested for your journey.

Get ready before Driving is not an appropriate time to touch up your makeup or check your hair.

Be rested and ready to go

before you leave the driveway.

Stop and rest If you’re tired, pull over. If you cannot focus on the road, it’s best to take some time to rest before you carry on.

A quick glance at your phone may feel harmless, but here’s the story that really needs your attention: driver distraction and inattention causes thousands of collisions on Saskatchewan roads each year. People get hurt and some are killed in those collisions. If you keep your head out of your apps, and never drive drowsy, you can stop one of those crashes from involving you.

Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show planned for June, 2-3 Williston Basin Petroleum Conference is a go for North Dakota in May

By Brian Zinchuk Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Estevan Mercury Weyburn, Bismarck, N.D., Regina, – The Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show committee is still planning on holding its bi-annual event this June 2-3, but things are still up in the air due to public health restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

And it’s not the only oil show affected.

“We are hopeful and optimistic,” said Tanya Hulbert, Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show manager, by phone from Weyburn on Feb. 25. She said they’ll know more March 19, when the provincial government announces its plans for public health restrictions beyond that date.

As Saskatchewan’s COVID-19 numbers have been dropping, the committee was hopeful the provincial government would have started lifting restrictions in midFebruary, as North Dakota and Montana have done. That has not been the case.

“If anything, we are still going to go through with our golf tournament, because we know that last summer, golfing was allowed,” she said. It may have to be done differently, such as not using a shotgun start, but they intend to find a way.

The golf tournament would be held on June 1, but that could change, depending on what happens with the show.

And no matter what, they will be announcing this year’s Oilman of the Year, Southeast Saskatchewan Oilman of the Year, and Saskatchewan Oil Patch

Hall of Fame inductees.

The layout of the show may be changed, and the committee is looking at options for suppers which would allow for more spacing. “We’re looking at an all-outdoor show which wouldn’t have the same restrictions, but right now we’re exploring every possible avenue and we’re hopeful and optimistic,” Hulbert said.

Williston Basin Petroleum Conference If the global pandemic hadn’t come along in the spring of 2020, the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference would have been held in Bismarck, North Dakota, with this year’s edition to be held in Regina.

However, nothing has been normal for the past year, and that schedule was kyboshed a long time ago.

However, the North Dakota Petroleum Council (NDPC) is planning on going ahead with the convention, live and in person, this May 12-13.

Traditionally, for over 30 years, the show has alternated between Saskatchewan and North Dakota, with participation from Manitoba, Montana and South Dakota, all of which have parts of their land area in the Williston Basin.

For Saskatchewan, that means the southeast corner of the province.

The NDPC has announced that registration is open. “We appreciate your patience as we navigated the uncertainty over the past year - North Dakota is open for business and we want you to join us this May,” they said in an email.

“We are firming up our agenda and look for-

Plans are still underway for an oil show in Weyburn this June, but there may be several chances. ward to making announcements about keynote speakers in the coming weeks. Our trade show is also filling up, over 150 exhibitors so far, and we expect a busy and engaged exhibit hall!”

That’s a far cry from Saskatchewan, where this weekend’s TeleMiracle will have no

audience, and substantial portions of its show will have been prerecorded separately.

S a s k a t c h e w a n ’s COVID-19 new case numbers have come down somewhat, with sevenday average now 155, and 211 new cases reported on Feb. 25. Saskatchewan had 1,493 active cases.

But North Dakota, which

saw a tremendous spike in new cases in the late fall, has seen its COVID cases plummet. On Feb. 25, it had 91 new cases, but only 706 active cases.

As of Feb. 24, its sevenday average was 90 new cases.

In Saskatchewan, the Petroleum Technology Research Centre heads up our version of this event, in conjunction with the Minister of Energy and Resources and the Saskatchewan Geological Survey. Norm Sacuta, spokesperson for PTRC, said they’ve heard recently from North Dakota and talked about their sponsorship.

“We will not be going,” Sacuta said on Feb. 24. The Canadian board is meeting this week to discuss what they’re going to do in

terms of sponsoring the event. One thing being considered is providing a virtual morning session focused on Saskatchewan, with the PTRC, University of Regina, International Carbon Capture and Storage Knowledge Centre and one other group making presentations.

They will be discussing the Canadian version in 2022, which, hopefully by that time, will occur after borders are opened and public health restrictions have eased.

Sacuta said it helps in that Saskatchewan’s version of the WBPC is more focused on presentations than the trade show, while the North Dakota version has a heavy emphasis on its large trade show.

Moosomin minor hockey players get to meet NHLer defenseman Ethan Bear Spencer Kemp - Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (The WorldSpectator - Moosomin) Member of the Moosomin Pee Wee Rangers got to meet a local hockey hero as they recorded introductions to two NHL games for Hockey Day in Canada.

The players taking part in the event got to meet Edmonton Oilers Defenseman Ethan Bear from Ochapowace and ask him any questions they might have.

Bear has started his NHL career with the Edmonton Oilers under head coach Dave Tippett, originally from Moosomin “That was amazing,” said #4, Devin Venaas. “I asked him what stick he was using.”

Other players asked about Bear’s favourite jersey.

“We asked him lots of questions and my question was ‘what was his favourite jersey?’” Dane Thorn said. “He said his was the new ‘Reverse Retro’.”

Some players were just excited to be there to enjoy the once-in-alifetime experience.

“It was really cool, we even got to meet Ethan Bear. We recorded the whole conversation with Ethan Bear and we were recording our lines which was ‘welcome to Hockey Day in Canada’,” explained Luke Holman.

Even those who are not Oilers fans enjoyed meeting Bear during their recording session.

“It felt pretty good. It’s going to be pretty cool because not many kids get to do it in their lifetime.”

Commented Kendry Lewis.“I’m more of a Pittsburgh kind of guy but it was still pretty cool for me.”

New normal Despite all the changes due to COVID-19 restrictions, Moosomin Minor Hockey has worked to adapt to the new normal and keep the players on the ice while many other communities have been unable to do so.

“Its been a very frustrating time just with all the changes and everything. We’ve had to pump up our board meetings quite frequently so that we can get things going.

But obviously with no tournaments or games anymore, there was no money coming in,” explained Thorn, who is treasurer for Moosomin Minor Hockey.

She explained that pandemic restrictions have made things difficult for everyone from parents to players and staff, but despite all this they have been able to manage.

“It’s been challenging but it’s been really rewarding at the same time. I know a lot of people have expressed their gratitude towards us to keep it going, while there’s towns and cities who haven’t even set foot on the ice. It’s nice to say we’ve been able to accomplish that, keeping the kids on the ice.”

While there has been less income brought in due to the pandemic, both the Town of

Moosomin and Moosomin Minor Hockey have worked together to stay afloat.

“We did have a small reserve that we did set aside, not necessarily thinking for a pandemic, but for an emergency. A lot of those funds were used to keep the ice going,” Thorn added.

In addition to the small fund that was set aside to help in the case of an emergency, Thorn expressed her gratitude

towards the town and the efforts they made to help through the restrictions caused by the pandemic.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic had struck, the ice rates had gone up for the teams by a small margin. When the pandemic hit, however, Moosomin Minor Hockey asked to have the rates reduced to what they were before the increase in order to help alleviate some financial burden.

The town didn’t do

that—but instead cut ice rates in half.

“We were just asking for that little bit that it went up and they gave us way more than that,” said Thorn.

This reduction in costs allowed Moosomin Minor Hockey to continue operating and keep the kids on the ice, something that Thorn says is important to her, as her own children play.

“That was a huge thing for us, with the

town of Moosomin reducing our ice rates by 50%, it has really enabled us to keep these kids on the ice” Thorn explained. “If we had to pay the full ice rate we probably would have shut it down at the beginning to January.”

Thorn thanked the town for their efforts and explained that they would not be able to keep the 200-odd players on the ice if it weren’t for this additional funding.

Town of Esterhazy in talks with school on facility sharing arrangement

This position will be a seasonal full time position for approximately 800 hrs commencing on or about June 21st, 2021.

Rob Paul - Local Journalism Initiative Reporter (The World-Spectator Moosomin)

hockeys times. So we can continue to keep the arena open until the end of March for sure.”

At the regular Esterhazy Town Council meeting on Wednesday, a motion was passed to use the Sask Lotteries Grant of $1,500—if it meets the criteria—towards staffing and costs for a future hockey academy program through PJ Gillen School.

The Good Spirit School Division is currently working on a proposal to run a hockey academy through the school at Dana Antal Arena. It would be a part of the curriculum.

“It’s a proposal that’s been verbally submitted to us saying that they would like to do this,” said Acting Administrator Mike Thorley. “We want to review our current policy that we have for joint use of school facilities and town facilities.”

The school currently uses the D.A. Mackenzie Aquatic Centre as part of a school swimming program and the rink for open skating. This program would be hockey specific.

“I want to make sure the agreement we have in place can accommodate all kids,” said Councillor Randy Bot. “All kids can swim and it gives every kid the same opportunity. Hockey isn’t necessarily the same because it targets only certain kids, does this give every kid the same opportunity?”

The proposal of entering into an agreement with the school is still in preliminary talks and there’s more to be sorted out about the details and how the program would run and be offered, but it would be a part of the school.

“We need to look at this with the school because it’s not an extracurricular activity,” said Rec Director Brenda Redman. “It would be through the school.”

“We need to take a look at the agreement and talk to a representative from the school to come up with an agreement together,” said Mayor Grant Forster. “We need to do more work and come back to this.”

The council was in agreement that the next step is having Thorley and Redman talk with the school to figure out exactly what the agreement and program could look like before this goes further.

“We’re going to review the entire agreement,” said Thorley. “It was back in 2014 when our community was a little bit more in co-ordinating baseball and other things in town so we did a lot more on the grounds of the school and we don’t do as much now.

“When there was programs like volleyball that needed the gyms in the evening, that’s when the agreement was made, back in 2014.

“We don’t use their facilities as much, but we’d also like to open those doors to make sure we have the option to do that and have a joint policy. We’ll review this and talk with the Good Spirit School Division so we can look at the entire agreement all together and make sure we can refine it.”

Minor hockey and figure skating to continue With the recent announcement from Premier Scott Moe that the current Covid-19 restrictions will stay in place until at least February 19, Esterhazy minor hockey and figure skating plan to continue practicing within the current restrictions at Dana Antal Arena.

“Minor hockey has said they will run until the end of February,” said Acting Administrator Mike Thorley.

“Figure skating is hoping to run until the end of the season as best they can within the restrictions and they’ll try to make up sometime they’ve lost in some areas.

“We also have a private user that’s looking to rent for the month of March and they would basically pick up minor

A motion was passed by the council to adjust council remuneration to a monthly rate rather than by a per-meeting rate. Councillors will now receive a $600 per month remuneration with a $25 per month car allowance.

The reason for this change is to allow more flexibility when it comes to sitting on committees. Now more councillors will have the opportunity to sit on different committees without a cost to the town.

“We did an internal survey to see what costs were for councillor remuneration for the last eight years,” said Acting Administrator Mike Thorley. “Every time someone goes to a committee meeting they get paid around $88 and every time they come to a council meeting they get $200, so throughout the year depending on which committees you sit on, you get a certain amount of dollars.

“We took the average of it all and felt comfortable with it. Now it allows us to move people around on committees and provides us more flexibility to add people or remove people from committees. It’s more flexible, costeffective, and keeps everybody on the same page.”

Yearly operating rates The council passed a motion to accept some yearly operating rates.

They didn’t pass landfill operating rates and will return to it.

Yearly custom rates will increase by 15 per cent, office miscellaneous rates won’t change, and there will be an increase to $30 for dog and cat licenses.

“Yearly custom rates are if someone wants to rent our sander for an hour, those types of rates went up 15 per cent,” said Acting Administrator Mike Thorley. “Office rates are for things like photocopying, and with the pet licenses we’re hoping to put some of that money into things like the dog park.

“Anyone that has paid the dog and cat licenses to date right now won’t be asked to pay more because this was passed after that point. We’re going to review the landfill because we’re looking at potentially putting a scale in it.”

Golder Associates awarded tender The council passed a motion to award a tender of up to $20,000 to Golder Associates for a climate lens assessment at the water treatment plant.

“Under our water treatment plant we have two stipulations that we have to complete as part of the funding,” said Acting Administrator Mike Thorley. “It’s a climate lens assessment that has to be completed for provincial and federal government regulations.

Basically the governments say we need to do this because we’re doing work so our engineer put it out for tender and we received about eight of them.

“We then did a pretty comprehensive evaluation and Golder Associates was the choice. So we’re spending up to $20,000 within a contingency of items.”

Airport hangar lease The council passed a motion to enter into a three-year agreement to lease the airport hangar for $600 per year.

“We have leases for up to three years and we have about four or five buildings we have leases on,” said Acting Administrator Mike Thorley.

“We were recently informed the hangar was sold, and we don’t own the hangar, but we own the land it’s on so we lease the land to them. The new owner has engaged in a three-year lease with us.”

Some road users weren’t interested in following the rules at intersections 992 intersection tickets issued in January, most for disobeying stop signs, red lights Stop us if you’ve heard this before: “The stop sign, a red octagon with white lettering, means come to a full stop and be sure the way is clear before proceeding.”

“When approaching a red light, you must stop and remain stopped until the light changes.”

-The Saskatchewan Driver’s Handbook Law enforcement were particularly focused on intersection safety in January as part of the first Traffic Safety Spotlight of 2021, and

SGI asked drivers to spend some time thinking about the different types of intersections they drive through on a daily basis. (https://www. sgi.sk.ca/news?title=timefor-some-introspectionabout-intersections) Unfortunately, some drivers in Saskatchewan weren’t interested in following the rules at intersections Drivers who don’t follow the rules put themselves and other road users at risk, since nearly half of all collisions in Saskatchewan happen in intersections.

Police across Saskatchewan issued a total of 992 tickets related to intersections in January. Here’s how that number breaks down: • 446 drivers disobeyed stop signs • 165 drivers failed to stop at a red light • 125 drivers made U-turns at intersections controlled by traffic lights (that’s a no) • 256 drivers received tickets for various other intersection violations in The Traffic Safety Act Those 992 drivers received tickets that will

make it a bit more difficult to fulfil any New Year’s resolutions they might have made about saving their money. A ticket for failing to properly stop at a stop sign or for a red light costs $230, as does a ticket for making a u-turn at an intersection controlled by traffic lights.

For more intersection tips check out these videos on merging, four-way stops, uncontrolled intersections, and roundabouts.

Let’s get rail here In January, SGI also

focused on safety around railroads. It’s important to be alert and be prepared to stop when approaching railway crossings, because when a motor vehicle collides with a train, the train always wins.

Despite the speed and power of trains, 26 drivers were ticketed for disobeying stop signals/signal persons at railway crossings in January.

Still focused on the Big Four Other results from the January Traffic Safety Spotlight include:

• 301 impaired driving offences (including 237 Criminal Code charges); • 554 distracted driving tickets (including 476 for cellphone use); • 4,517 tickets for aggressive driving and speeding; and • 337 tickets for seatbelts and child restraints being used incorrectly or not at all.

Stay tuned to SGI’s social media accounts (find us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram) this month, as we continue to focus on impaired driving.

USask receives $300K from FCL to renew research chair focused on co-operative governance always been governance challenges across different sectors, but modern pressures on the co-operative sector underscore the continued need to be accountable to members and maintain our relevance for future generations. This is crucial not only for the CRS, but all co-operatives in Canada and around the world.”

According to Dr. Murray Fulton (PhD), inaugural CRS Chair and director of the JSGS USask campus, governance is critical because it is a key determinant of organizational success.

“Understanding who is making what decisions, which is at the heart of governance, helps the CRS effectively respond to social and economic changes in the environment,” he said.

In his role as CRS Chair, Fulton, along with CCSC research fellows, developed an innovative framework for analyzing governance challenges in co-operatives. It

includes three basic governance issues that all co-operatives and credit unions must continually address—ensuring interconnected parts of the organization work well together, working to get a better view of the future, and creating and maintaining legitimacy.

“Since its development, the governance framework has re-shaped our approach to researching, teaching,

from around the world.”

This new framework has also filtered into a free Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on co-operative governance, co-developed with Co-operatives First and co-delivered to more than 1,500 individuals worldwide.

“The new chair, once appointed this summer, will help FCL and CCSC build on the existing research program in co-

operative governance by looking at some of the sector’s major concerns, including adapting to rapid technological, regulatory and environmental changes,” said Pigeon. “The work will also shed light on governance mechanisms in the larger economy and society, including—but not limited to—the business sector and within Indigenous communities.”

Did you know - HIV While it can take weeks for patients who have had HIV tests to receive the results of the tests, the World Health Organization notes that some tests can deliver same-day results. Rapid diagnostic tests, or RDTs, can the detect the presence or absence of HIV antibodies almost immediately. The immune system produces these antibodies specifically to fight the HIV virus.

The National Center for Biotechnology Information notes that RDT can typically produce results in less than 30 minutes and that most of these tests can be performed with capillary whole blood collected by a finger-stick.

The WHO notes that RDTs can help people receive early treatment, potentially preventing the virus from reaching advanced stages, including AIDS. However, people who are at high risk for HIV or those who suspect they have the virus should discuss their testing options with a physician.

SASKATOON — The Co-operative Retailing System (CRS) Chair in Co-operative Governance at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) will receive $300,000 over five years from Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL), on behalf of the CRS in Western Canada.

The CRS Chair— based in the Canadian Centre for the Study of Co-operatives (CCSC) at the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy (JSGS)— supports ambitious research and educational programming aimed at creating new ways of thinking about the unique governance model shared by co-operatives.

“The research completed in the first term was valuable in that it created an innovative framework to support improving co-operative governance,” said Sharon Alford, FCL’s president/chair of the board. “There have
