Local fishermen will be smiling with the news the Yorkton Wildlife Federation, a branch of the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation, has added trout to the pond at Logan Green. The local branch stocked 300 young Rainbow Trout into the pond, with the help of Bria Serdachny and Hank Little. The pond has

proven a good home for trout with many over-wintering in the water and anglers already catching some fine fish this spring.

The pond does not require a fishing licence for those wanting to give it a try, and it is catch-and-release, so the resource remains vibrant for others.

Covering big acres Until the weekend ‘icestorm’, accompanying rain, and cool, cloudy weather, seeding in the region had progressed well this spring. The most recent provincial Crop Report noted that producers had made tremendous progress the previous week with 74 per cent of the 2021 crop now seeded, well ahead of the five-year average of 48 per cent (2016-2020) for this time of year. In the East-Central Region

seeding was up from 22 per cent last week to 63 per cent of the crop seeded to date. This is well ahead the five-year average (2016-2020) for this time of year of 27 per cent. When the weather co-operates, a lot of acres can be seeded in a day on many farms based on the size, and scale of modern equipment, such as what is used at Lindgren Farms near Norquay.

Keep young wildlife safe by leaving them alone Spring has sprung in Saskatchewan. This is an exciting time for nature enthusiasts, for hiking, for being outdoors and nature watching. Very shortly, we will start seeing young animals such as ducklings, rabbits, songbirds or fawns in their natural habitats.

Unfortunately, this is also the time of year when well-intentioned people sometimes interfere with young wildlife.

The Ministry of Environment wants to emphasize a simple message regarding young animals: Physical distancing isn’t just for humans, leave young wildlife alone and please don’t

touch them.

Trying to help wild animals that appear orphaned, or lost, is often detrimental to their health and safety.

In nature, young animals and birds are purposely placed into seclusion by their mothers to protect them from predators. In the majority of cases, these young animals are not abandoned or deserted, and the mother is watching nearby.

Happy 75th Birthday Ellie Spokes on June 1st

Love: Your Family & Friends

The chances for survival decrease significantly when young animals come into contact with humans. The best thing to do is to leave them alone and enjoy the animals from a distance.

Young wildlife should only be picked up if the parent is found dead nearby, or in an unnatural situation such as a young songbird found on a doorstep. In that case, the young bird could be moved to the closest suitable habitat.

Only wildlife rehabilitators are licensed to care for orphaned and injured animals. They are trained to make sure animals are given appropriate care and nutrition to help improve their chances of survival when they are released back into the wild.

If there are obvious signs of injury, or evidence that it has been orphaned, please contact the ministry’s general inquiry line at 1-800-5674224 or by email at centre.inquiry@gov.sk.ca.

People are also reminded to steer clear of adult wildlife, such as deer or moose that sometimes wander into urban areas. Large crowds will stress the animals, which could lead to a potentially dangerous situation.

Remember - give wildlife its space.

Saskatchewan Blue Cross invests $150K to help establish USask’s VIDO as Canada’s Centre for Pandemic Research Saskatoon The Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) at the University of Saskatchewan (USask) is one step closer to establishing its Centre for Pandemic Research, thanks to a $150,000 donation from Saskatchewan Blue Cross.

The gift from Saskatchewan Blue Cross will help expand VIDO’s research capacity to rapidly respond to emerging infectious diseases. The donation will contribute to upgrading and expanding VIDO’s

infrastructure as well as support research and scientific training.

“We thank Saskatchewan Blue Cross for helping to make this vision a reality,” said VIDO Director and CEO Dr. Volker Gerdts. “We are proud to play a leading role in our country’s pandemic response, and to be part of a community that supports and recognizes the importance of having this worldclass research here in Saskatchewan.”

As part of the partnership, Saskatchewan

Blue Cross and VIDO will also host an “Ask a Scientist” virtual event the afternoon of June 24, 2021 for residents of Saskatchewan to learn more about VIDO and its ongoing research. The event will also provide individuals an opportunity to ask questions about how vaccines are developed from the world-class scientific team based right here in our province.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, USask’s VIDO has taken a national leadership role. This

includes being the first in Canada to isolate the virus that causes COVID19, the first in Canada to develop an animal model and the first Canadian university organization to have a COVID-19 vaccine in clinical trials.

“We’re very proud to support VIDO’s expansion vision and delighted to offer the people of Saskatchewan an opportunity to learn more about their critical work through this partnership,” said Megan Douglas, vice-president, customer relations

and external affairs.

“Saskatchewan Blue Cross is committed to helping strengthen health literacy in our province, and to empowering our communities on their journey to whole health and wellness. The event on June 24 is a wonderful opportunity for everyone to hear from VIDO’s world-class scientists specializing in vaccination.”

Thanks to donors like Saskatchewan Blue Cross and VIDO’s ongoing fundraising efforts from a variety of sources including

government, municipal and private donors, Saskatoon will soon be home to Canada’s Centre for Pandemic Research.

This centre, which is expected to be completed over the next three years, will include a new manufacturing facility, upgrades to key containment areas, new animal housing and the recruitment of global experts.

If you would like to join Saskatchewan Blue Cross as a ‘Friend of VIDO’ by making a donation, please visit www. vido.org

Tick season is upon us - watch out With the arrival of spring and warmer temperatures, the Ministry of Health reminds Saskatchewan residents to be vigilant and monitor for ticks on themselves and their pets.

“As more people are venturing outdoors, Saskatchewan residents need to watch for ticks,” Saskatchewan Chief Deputy Medical Health Officer Dr. Julie Kryzanowski said. “While the risk of exposure to Lyme disease remains low in the province, stay vigilant and take proper precautions to protect yourself and others.”

Most ticks found in Saskatchewan are the American dog tick. This species is active from mid-April to the end of July and cannot transmit Lyme disease to people.

Blacklegged ticks, which can cause Lyme disease, are rare in Saskatchewan. Introduced by migratory birds in early spring, blacklegged ticks mature into adults and remain active throughout fall, particularly in tall grass, brush, or wooded areas.

In April of last year, the Government of Saskatchewan, in collaboration with researchers at the University of Saskatchewan, launched eTick (www.etick.ca), an image-based tick identification platform. After a successful first year, eTick has replaced the mail-in tick surveillance program, and acceptance of unsolicited mail-in tick submissions is discontinued this year.

Saskatchewanians can submit photographs of ticks found on humans or animals using the eTick online system to receive timely identification of the type of tick that attached to a person, pet, or livestock animal and information on the risk of exposure to tick-borne diseases.

While awaiting identification results, retain detached tick(s) in a secure container. eTick administrators may request that some ticks be submitted, by mail, for quality control purposes or if the tick species is one of medical concern. Ticks should not be submitted by mail until requested.

To prevent tick bites: Wear pants, long-sleeved shirts, and shoes that do not expose your bare feet.

Pull socks over your pant legs to prevent ticks from crawling up your legs.

Wear light-coloured clothes so ticks can be seen easily.

Use insect repellents that contain DEET or Icaridin. Apply repellent to clothes as well as your skin. Always read and follow the directions on the label. Some repellents may have age restrictions.

In Canada, clothing that has been treated with the insecticide permethrin has been approved for use by people over the age of 16.

Shower or bathe as soon as possible after being outside to wash off loose ticks and inspect for attached ticks.

Do “full-body” tick checks after being outside on yourself, your children, and your pets.

If you find a tick attached to your skin or on your pet: Carefully remove it with fine-tipped tweezers and grasp the tick’s mouthparts as close to the skin as possible.

Pull slowly upward and out with firm, steady pressure.

Be careful not to squeeze, crush or puncture the body after removal.

Do not put Vaseline, gasoline, or other harmful substances on an attached tick.

Submit photos of the tick using the eTick system, and please keep ticks in a secure container until you receive the identification results. Ticks can be euthanized by placing them in a bag and storing it in the freezer for 24 hours.

In 2020, 2,678 ticks were identified in Saskatchewan and only 12 were blacklegged ticks. Of these, seven physical specimens were submitted for testing, and three tested positive for the bacteria that causes Lyme

Province set to rollout vaccinations to students in June

By Tanner Wallace-Scribner Staff Writer As May comes to a close the Saskatchewan Health Authority is gearing up to begin administering COVID-19 vaccines in elementary and high schools across the province in June.

There will be more than 90,000 vaccines in total for individuals 12

years of age and older.

Children in this age group will only receive the Pfizer brand of vaccine. This is the last group currently approved for immunization, with the hopes of expanding to younger populations in the fall, as vaccines are nationally approved for their use.

SHA drive-thru, walkin and booked appointments will be reduced

during the school immunizations over the course of approximately three weeks to ensure this group is immunized prior to the end of the school year.

Delivery dates are currently being finalized with local education officials. Once dates are confirmed, they will be communicated directly to parents through individual schools.

Written consent will be required for all ages 12-17, primarily for tracking purposes, in case the child receives one dose at school and one elsewhere. There will only be one consent required for both doses. Parents are encouraged to talk directly with their children about consent and the importance of receiving their COVID vaccination.

EDITORIAL Does fracked methane deserve “natural” label?

On his first day in office, U.S. President Joe Biden announced plans to impose limits on methane emissions from oil and gas the previous administration cancelled.

That’s good news.

The UN Environment Programme and Climate and Clean Air Coalition’s “Global Methane Assessment” said, “Reducing humancaused methane emissions is one of the most cost-effective strategies to rapidly reduce the rate of warming and contribute significantly to global efforts to limit temperature rise to 1.5° C.” Methane is a powerful but relatively shortlived greenhouse gas.

Unlike carbon dioxide, which can remain in the atmosphere for hundreds of years, methane breaks down within a decade or so, but it’s 84 times more potent in trapping heat over a 20-year period.

Scientists estimate methane has caused about 30 per cent of heating to date, with emissions rising at record rates. Cutting methane

emissions is a cost-effective way to quickly reduce greenhouse gases and pollution. The UN report found they could be cut by 45 per cent by 2030 using readily available methods.

According to a Guardian article, “Achieving the cuts would avoid nearly 0.3C of global heating by 2045 and keep the world on track for the Paris climate agreement’s goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5C.” The report also concluded that, because methane causes ground-level ozone, or smog, “a 45 per cent reduction would prevent 260,000 premature deaths, 775,000 asthma-related hospital visits, 73 billion hours of lost labour from extreme heat, and 25 million tonnes of crop losses annually.”

The report estimated 42 per cent of humancaused methane emissions are from agriculture, mainly from livestock flatulence and manure, and rice cultivation. Intentional and unintentional leaks and

DAVID SUZUKI

Science Matters venting from fossil fuel operations make up about 36 per cent and waste sites cause 18 per cent.

Some methane comes from natural sources such as decay in wetlands and melting permafrost.

(Various studies, including by the David Suzuki Foundation, found industry and governments consistently underreport oil and gas methane emissions.)

Fossil fuel industry emissions are largely from leaks and venting in development of “natural” gas (which is mostly methane, much of it fracked).

In labelling it “natural gas,” industry has convinced people it’s benign, or a “bridge fuel” as the world transitions from

dirtier sources like coal to renewable energy.

That’s led governments to tout it as an economy booster and to go into full fracking mode.

For example, B.C.’s 2021 budget confirmed the province will continue to subsidize and rely on the liquefied natural gas industry (mostly fracked methane), one of the province’s main sources of rising greenhouse gas emissions.

If methane were truly a bridge fuel, when will we have crossed the bridge? The David Suzuki Foundation and Pembina Institute released a study in 2011 showing that, even then, the transition fuel argument wasn’t valid.

Among the simplest

ways to rapidly reduce methane emissions are to stop venting and leaks at gas operations (in part by replacing outdated technology), reduce organic waste sent to landfills and improve sewage treatment.

Captured methane can be used rather than wasted. A recent Environmental Defense Fund study found half of all methane emissions cuts could be achieved at no net cost — about 80 per cent of those from oil and gas.

Reducing methane from animal agriculture is more of a challenge.

People eating less meat, especially cattle, would bring emissions down substantially, but that will take time. Small measures such as changes to feed and better herd management could reduce methane from agriculture by about 25 per cent by 2030, the report estimated.

While changes to diet and agricultural practices can have a range of beneficial effects for climate, the environment and human health, the most efficient, cost-

effective way to quickly cut methane emissions and reduce their contribution to global heating is to address fossil fuel industry emissions.

We need federal and provincial regulations to ensure methane emissions drop at least 75 per cent by 2030, including requiring fossil fuel companies to cut them at the source by preventing leaking and venting. And, as with coal and oil, we should be winding down natural gas production and shifting to renewable energy.

“Natural” gas may come from nature, but releasing it into the atmosphere is upsetting the natural balance that makes the planet habitable. There’s nothing natural about that.

Canora Town Council takes second look at site for new Aquatic Park Courtesy of Canora Courier Planning continues for the new Canora Aquatic Park, including a change for the site of the project.

Building the new facility on the existing site, as was originally planned, comes with a few risks that may have put the project behind schedule, according to Aaron Herriges, director of leisure services.

“Town Council reconsidered the current site and decided to move it to a better and safer site,” said Herriges. “Because of the geological conditions surrounding the existing basin, extensive excavation and preparation may have put the project too far back if we moved forward with our previous plan. Nothing will change in regards to the plans for the service building and the pool.”

The site for the pro-

ject will be relocated to the east, in the open space 150 metres away from the existing pool, across the street from the Chase Kraynick “Pay it Forward” Splash Park.

The area was previously primarily used for soccer. Herriges said they have some good ideas to replace the soccer space used for this project. He believes this is an excellent decision moving forward.

“There were too

many developmental unknowns with the current site. Also, we now have a space where we won’t be restricted for future development.”

The change in location comes with a variety of benefits, according to Herriges.

“For instance, the development of the new park will not affect our current operations and we will be able to stay open to the end of August now. We will also have

This is an artist’s rendering of the new Canora Aquatic Park, scheduled to open in time for the 2022 season.

Due to a variety of factors, it is no longer being planned for the site of the existing pool.

some cost savings with excavation, as we will be able to use the materials from the new site to fill the old site.”

Herriges said the construction of the new Canora Aquatic Park is set to start at the beginning of August.

‘I would like to remind everyone that we are providing great family incentives in return for supporting the project. For a donation of $500, we are offering your family name on fixed signage at the park. We are also including a family Leisure Pass to the new pool for one year ($250 value).”

All donors are provided a charitable tax receipt. Herriges said early community support has been greatly appreciated, including numerous family donations.

“I encourage anyone that hasn’t considered donating yet to take a good look, the value is there. Adding your name on the signage is a great opportunity to leave your mark on this project. Local businesses and organizations are getting on board as well. The Town would like to acknowledge Community Insurance for their continued support with a donation of $1,000. McTavish

Concrete stepped up big with a donation of $1,500, and just recently Canora Wheatland Lioness Club generously donated $1,000. The wellpublicized $50,000 earlier donation from the Yorkton Kinsmen club brings the total raised so far to $55,000. We have a long way to our goal, but the support and feedback has been fantastic,” concluded Herriges.

Fashioning a classic for ease of play For the past two weeks this column has delved rather deeply into the classic game of Xiangqi thanks largely to the cooperation of Jim Png the man behind www.xqinenglish.com, and his willingness to talk about the game.

So again for those completely unfamiliar with Xiangqi, simple starter sets are available on ebay.ca for under $20 from China, since shipping is still reasonable from there.

However, set pieces are typically checkerlike and Chinese ‘letters’ and used to differentiate the pieces. Learning the symbols on the pieces can frankly be far more difficult than learning the movement of pieces that are, in some cases different from western chess.

Years ago this writer ordered one of the wooden sets – they remind very much of crokinole disks in terms of shape and size.

They are quite nice, and highly functional, and for a few dollars you get a set of pieces that should last – well forever with some care.

Alas, the board that comes with low cost sets are ridiculous thin board lines -- which are quite different given the river down the middle,

and the castles where the generals reside – on plastic that is basically the same stuff as a grocery bag.

The board had to go, so I used my rather limited art skills, painted a board on some green felt, and then mounted it on a board. It turned out quite well actually, although since it doesn’t fold, it does not store as easily as most chess boards do.

With a better board it was a greater joy to try Xiangqi, but I will admit the symbols on the pieces were rather difficult to differentiate for my ‘western’ eyes.

I found some rather poor graphics online, printed them, and glued on the underside of the pieces. The art was lousy, and so using that side seemed to detract from the game experience, but so do did having to pick up pieces often to peek under to see what it was in a fashion my English mind could better understand.

Years have passed since then, and Xiangqi remains a game of interest, but limited play experience.

But a few weeks ago I did find some nicer ‘english’ graphics of the pieces, and given a bit of free time amid winter

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com and pandemic keeping me housebound, I decided to create a better set.

I grabbed the ‘stones’ from a backgammon set – I like buying sets for just this sort of purpose – and went to work.

A careful cut-out of the art, was then attached to the stones

with a glue stick. Then came a couple of applications of decoupage on top.

Finally, I spray applied some clear coat – note if you do this and pieces still feel a touch sticky, put into a bit of talcum powder and it tends to stop the sticki-

ness without being noticeable once dusted off.

The overall result is a rather nice looking Xiangqi set which purists will argue isn’t a true set without the traditional graphics, but is

easier to understand for me. It means pieces are easily identifiable so I can focus on the best moves, rather than having to try to identify the pieces.

And, there was the fun of creating the pieces, and back in the day, the board too. Both were relaxing exercises, that were a good diversion still associated with the hobby of board gaming.

Using light to help combat Parkinson’s disease Saskatoon – Over 100,000 Canadians are living with Parkinson’s disease and 25 more are diagnosed every day, according to Parkinson Canada.

Patients experience tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with movement. Dr. Jean-Francois Trempe, an Associate Professor with McGill University, and colleagues are using the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan to help search for potential drug targets for the dis-

ease.

“I work on a set of proteins that are involved in quality control,” said Trempe. “These proteins are able to sort the damaged proteins from the non-damaged proteins and they send the damaged ones off to be degraded and that’s important for the long-term survival of neurons.”

His team used bright synchrotron light at the CLS to gain insights into a protein involved in formation of flagella, which are

important notably for fluid circulation in the brain. By finding new information about this protein, their team is contributing to a body of knowledge that will hopefully lead to a therapy down the road.

“Do good science, do report on things that are real and important and later on people might figure out how what might be its best use,” said Trempe. “Sometimes discoveries come from completely unsuspecting directions.”

Opening day goes to the fish Welcome to the first of ‘Fishing Parkland Shorelines’ of 2021. Like most of us I remain very much a novice fisherman, loving to fish, but far from an expert. In the following weeks I’ll again attempt to give those anglers who love to fish but just don’t have access to a boat a look at some of the options in the Yorkton area where you can fish from shore, and hopefully catch some fish for a good summer fry.

Amid a worldwide health pandemic which has kept us close to home for months – many of us truly housebound as we are now working from home too – you might expect the start of a new fishing season would have an extra level of excitement attached to it.

But, in my case at least, preparation for the first day out May 5, was well, to put it bluntly, non existent.

I did not go through my tackle to check what lures were in short supply because too many of a particular pattern were lost last year to rocks and tree branches in various waters.

I did not find the time to add new line to my back-up rod.

There just never seemed the time, or maybe it was a lack of interest if being honest.

Yes, I did buy a license, and when so doing I did wander through the rods and reels aisle, and even held a very nice set-up in my hands, but showing a certain reserve I am not normally known for in such situations, I put it back on the shelf.

So here’s where the honesty lies, looking back on shore fishing in 2020, it was, not to put too

Fishing Parkland Shorelines with

CALVIN DANIELS fine a point on it – lousy.

There was not an outing that I can point too as excellent fishing. Not one that I could legitimately term good, average or fair. They were at best subpar, bad, terrible and lousy.

Of course I am at this point measuring the success of a trip in fish caught.

There are always a number of very legitimate reasons to go fishing that make it a worth-

while endeavour having nothing to do with the actual catching of fish.

There is the time with family and friends away from the four walls of home and office.

There is the opportunity to enjoy sunshine, fresh air and wildlife.

And, of course it is time disconnected from TVs, laptops and other electronic gadgets we are increasingly slaves too.

But, in terms of fish,

Indian Point on Crooked Lake

Birds are always a diversion when fish don’t bite. well I am sure if one were to factor in gas, lost hooks and other associated costs, pike lunches in 2020 in this household were running about $100 per person, not counting the potatoes for french fries based on the slim number of fish caught for the freezer.

So memories of 2020 did somewhat curb the enthusiasm for opening day this year.

But, my son and I took off the afternoon from work, and while tradition would have had us turning north to try Theodore or Canora dams, we instead opted to head south to fish Indian Point on Crooked Lake.

The weather was good until the sun dipped behind a cloud, which had Adam heading back the truck for jackets – being in Saskatchewan you need to pack parkas 12 months of the year remember.

The wind was brisk too, enhancing casts on one side of the sand spit, and all but throwing the hook back at you when

casting the other side.

And for a few hours we did cast both into and with the wind. We tried a bunch of hooks, at least washed on opening day, if not successful in their assigned task of enticing a fish to bite.

Of course I am increasingly convinced fish now use email and arrange to bite in any water where I am not fishing.

It’s either that or the fish at Indian Point were in school, no doubt learning to avoid trying to eat anything with the words ‘Len Thompson’ on it.

So by now you have likely guessed opening day 2021 was much like every day 2020, no fish.

But, it was nice to be out giving it the old ‘college try’ again.

And, besides I learned a couple of tidbits that as a father are pure gold, making me smile every time I think back on the grand revelations of opening day 2021. It seems a certain fishing co-plot – let’s call him Adam for the sake of this tale has a Saskatchewan Roughrider rubber duck he has named ‘Lancaster’ and a Montreal Canadiens Teddy Bear he calls ‘Maurice’.

Oh and, yes what makes this something to smile about is that he is 32 *wink.

Until next time, happy fishing.

Saskatchewan recognizes May 17-21 as innovation week Today, the Government of Saskatchewan recognized May 17-21 as Innovation Week.

Innovation Week provides an opportunity to recognize the achievements of innovation in Saskatchewan and the importance it plays in our everyday lives. It also provides a celebration of people, organizations, and companies across the province that will inspire the next generation of innovators.

“Innovation and technology are vital to building a strong province in the post-pandemic world,” Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said. “Our goal is to triple the tech-

nology sector by 2030 and I believe we are in a strong position to do that through technological advances in those core areas where Saskatchewan has natural economic advantages.”

Through significant investment in research and technology over the last few years, world-class researchers and technology companies have been attracted to the province. From cutting-edge research at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO) into Covid-19 vaccines, to NRGene, an advanced biotechnology company who recently relocated to Saskatchewan from Israel, to the success

of companies supported by tech incubators Co.Labs and Cultivator, Saskatchewan innovation continues to accelerate the growth of the economy.

Canadian Innovation Week 2021 is looking to celebrate Canada’s culture of innovation as the cornerstone to growth and success with this year’s theme of “From Problems to Possibilities”. Join the virtual celebration, and recognize the remarkable ingenuity of Canadian and Saskatchewan Innovators by using #CanadianInnovationWeek and #SKInnovationWeek and by visiting the stories shared all week long at www.innovationsask.ca.

STEP celebrates 25 years of export success This year marks the 25th year of operations for Saskatchewan Trade and Export Partnership (STEP) as an export and market development organization. Over the past 25 years, Saskatchewan has seen remarkable growth in international trade with total exports more than tripling to $30.3B in 2020.

Saskatchewan is the only province in Canada to record an increase in exports for the year.

STEP’s unique publicprivate partnership has allowed the organization to play a key role as the province’s export catalyst. STEP’s services include assisting exporters develop business in new markets as well as introducing incoming buyers to Saskatchewan.

STEP also provides market research, and customized advice and guidance to its members

based on extensive knowledge of and experience in international trade.

Marlin Stangeland, Chair of STEP’s Board of Directors and CEO of Shercom Industries Inc., said that exports are critical to a healthy and growing province.

“With trade being an integral part of our economy, STEP will continue to play an essential role in growing Saskatchewan in partnership with the Provincial Government,” Stangeland said.

“Coupled with the existing and newly announced international offices, we look forward to 25 more years of export success.”

The past year saw enhanced services offered to STEP members in response to export constraints

caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. New and enhanced services are now in place to assist exporters re-establish their presence in existing markets.

“The correlation between the success of

this organization and the strong growth and continued increases in exports is a testament to the success of our membership base,” he noted.

“In an ever-changing business climate, we remain confident in our

members’ abilities. The past 25 years is proof that given a level playing field, Saskatchewan exporters can compete with anyone on the international stage.”

There are two significant enhancements: 1. Customers who require assistance with

daily tasks like housekeeping and yard work will see the maximum payments for those services increase to better reflect current market rates.

2. SGI customers who receive income replacement benefits from SGI and Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPPD)

will no longer have income benefits from SGI reduced by the amount of their CPPD benefit.

The increase in living assistance benefits is expected to directly benefit approximately 1,100 customers while the elimination of the reduction of benefits

based on CPP income will benefit about 200 customers.

The significant onetime costs of these benefits is approximately $65 million in total. SGI announced in February that strong investment earnings and a decrease in collision claims during the pandemic put the Auto Fund in the position to be able to implement these injury benefits. As a result of these strong investment earnings, SGI is also delivering $285 million in rebates to vehicle owners.

“I’m pleased that SGI is able to bring in these improvements for customers,” Minister Responsible for SGI Don Morgan said. “The Auto Fund’s sound financial management makes it possible for Saskatchewan people to receive the best package of injury benefits of any auto insurance company in Canada.”

“Increasing my living allowance takes away a lot of stress,” injury benefit recipient Maurice Draude said. “It makes it so much easier to put food on my table and to replace household items when they need replacing. It will also allow me to continue investing money for my retirement.”

There are also some new benefits being implemented, including: • Support for immediate family members who attend counselling to be reimbursed for expenses such as meals, transportation, and lost earnings.

• A new attendant care benefit for family members who need to temporarily stay home with the injured person under medical advice.

• Significantly increasing the maximum limit for expenses when someone is required to accompany an injured person because of their physical or mental condition or age, so that the customer may receive medical care.

Kamsack student wins silver at Skills Canada competition Courtesy of Kamsack Times Kate Erhardt of Kamsack is a KCI student in Grade 11 who recently earned a silver medal in the 2021 Virtual Skills Canada Provincial Competition held on April 17.

Winners were announced on an online streaming video presentation in early May. Erhardt said she was encouraged to enter the competition in the photography category by her math and photography teacher, Ryan Gareau.

The contest was open to high school students across Saskatchewan in a number of categories including welding, mechanical engineering, fashion, video production, Indigenous skill (beading), and hairstyling, among others.

Normally, the competition would take place at a venue, but because of COVID this year, the entire event was hosted virtually.

Erhardt was the only KCI student to sign up for the longstanding Skills Canada program.

After registering online, the 17 year-old received

With the freedom to choose anything she wanted as the subject of the final challenge in the photography skills competition, Erhardt selected this doorway image which she was asked to present in both edited and unedited formats.

One of the challenges in the virtual photography skills competition was to present the same fruit in two different ways without doing any editing to the image. an email with criteria for her specific category - photography. The challenge would consist of nine photos to be taken in a 24-hour period.

In the first challenge, artists were tasked to take a photograph of fruit. The same fruit was to be presented in two different ways, although editing the images was not permitted.

The second challenge called for photographers to submit a self-portrait with a spring theme. Again, editing was not allowed.

The third challenge did allow editing, and the competitor was asked to compose a picture with a utensil as the main focus.

Editing was permitted in the challenge to create an image with the main focus on utensils in the virtual photography skills competition where KCI student, Kate Erhardt won a silver medal.

The fourth and final challenge permitted artists to choose any subject they liked, and they were asked to deliver both the original (unedited) and final (edited) versions.

Once uploaded to the online competition within the official 24-hour time period, a panel of judges assessed the entries and ultimately determined the winners.

Erhardt said the photography category declared more registered competitors than any of the other skills categories.

“Along with all of the other contestants tuning in remotely, I watched the video presentation as each category was announced – waiting for my category,” shared Erhardt. “Then when photography came up, a girl from Yorkton was announced as winner of the gold and soon after I heard my name announced for the silver.”

Erhardt said a love of taking pictures seemed to bloom within her when she was around six or seven years old.

She was given a Kodak digital camera for her birthday and her mother made an album of her early work. For the competition, Erhardt used a Nikon D3200 digital camera with an 18mm lens. Although she has never worked with a film camera, she has fun

SaskBarley launches podcast to help farmers grow, market their crops May 5, 2021 – Saskatoon, SK The Saskatchewan Barley D e v e l o p m e n t C o m m i s s i o n (SaskBarley) has launched a new tool to help Saskatchewan barley farmers keep up to date with the latest information related to growing and marketing their barley crops.

The first season of the Barley Bin, a podcast featuring interviews with SaskBarley staff and a variety of barley

research and production experts, is now available on the SaskBarley website.

“Last year, we really had to start looking for new ways to get information out to barley farmers,” says SaskBarley Executive Director Jill McDonald. “A podcast seemed like a great way to deliver information.

Podcasts work great for farmers on the go – download and listen on the road or in the field.”

Season one of the

podcast focuses on information related to disease management, barley varieties, marketing opportunities and more, says SaskBarley Research and Extension Manager Mitchell Japp.

“When we were planning this podcast we really thought about what information farmers need and when,” he says. “We are hoping this podcast will give them knowledge and tools that they can use in coming months.”

This spring themed self-portrait taken by Kate Erhardt of Togo was part of the 2021 Virtual Skills Canada Provincial Competition held on April 17. experimenting with her Polaroid camera. As the only person on the yearbook committee at KCI, Erhardt keeps busy documenting the students and staff while strengthening her skill set. Now that she has

her own computer, Erhardt says she prefers working with editing software like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom.

Although unsure of what career awaits her in the future, Erhardt

she says she is considering photography.

While she loves to do portraits of family and friends, Erhardt dreams to one day offer professional wedding photographer services.

Seeding making progress before rains Producers made tremendous progress last week with 74 per cent of the 2021 crop now seeded, well ahead of the five-year average of 48 per cent (2016-2020) for this time of year.

Minimal rain and fair weather across the province has allowed producers to seed without any prolonged delays.

East-Central Sask-atchewan: · Crop District 5 – Melville, Yorkton, Cupar, Kamsack, Foam Lake, Preeceville and Kelvington areas · Crop District 6A – Lumsden, Craik, Watrous and Clavet areas There was very little precipitation in the region and producers were able to make great seeding progress.

Seeding is up from 22 per cent last week to 63 per cent of the crop seeded to date. This is well ahead the fiveyear average (2016-2020) for this time of year of 27 per cent.

Ninety-four per cent of the field peas, 86 per cent of the chickpeas, 77 per cent of the durum, 71 per cent of the spring wheat, 63 per cent of the barley and 51 per cent of the oats are seeded to date.

Most of the region received very little to no rainfall this week.

The Pelly area received the highest amount of rain with only 10 mm.

The Kelvington and Rose valley areas received four mm of rain and the Jedburgh and Esterhazy areas received one mm.

Hay land and pastures have been very slow to green up this week with the warmer temperatures.

Rain would be welcome across the region, especially to help support pasture and hay growth.

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as zero per cent surplus, 14 per cent adequate, 48 per cent short and 38 per cent very short.

Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as ten per cent adequate,

32 per cent short and 58 per cent very short.

Overall, eighty-two per cent of the crop has been seeded in the southwest region. Seventy-nine per cent has been seeded in the southeast, 77 per cent seeded in both the west-central and northwest regions and 63 per cent seeded in the east-central and northeast regions.

Ninety-three per cent of field peas, 93 per cent of lentils, 83 per cent of durum, 83 per cent of chickpeas, 80 per cent of spring wheat, 78 per cent of canola and 75 per cent of barley have been seeded to date.

There was scattered rainfall throughout most regions in the province this week. The Tisdale area received the highest amount at 25 mm thanks to a thunderstorm.

The Christopher Lake area received 13 mm and the Pelly area received 10 mm. The rain is welcomed but more is needed to address the current extremely dry conditions throughout the province.

Limited precipitation and warm windy conditions throughout the province have further reduced topsoil moisture conditions. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as zero per cent surplus, 20 per cent adequate, 48 per cent short and 32 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as zero per cent surplus, 13 per cent adequate, 36 per cent short and 50 per cent very short.

Some farmers have halted seeding canola while they wait for rain in the forecast. Others have opted to seed wheat or other cereals instead. Very little spraying is happening in the province due to low weed emergence and strong winds making for poor spraying conditions. For many parts of the province where precipitation has been very low, crop germination has been poor and patchy.

New fundraiser announced

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Big Brothers Big Sisters of Yorkton and area is launching its first ever virtual fundraiser.

With the COVID-19 pandemic still limiting large gatherings – taking Bowl for Kids Sake off the table – the organization began looking at options, explained Rayanne Buller, Mentor Coordinator.

Buller said they were looking for a fundraiser which would be “safe” for participants, but also wanting “to make sure everyone is having fun.”

The solution was to offer a ‘virtual escape room’

then ask teams of five to sign up to take on the challenge of ‘escaping’ the room, and doing it faster than other groups taking on the challenge.

Buller said she has done a couple of online escape rooms with her friends and the challenge of solving a series of puzzles can be a lot of fun for a group of friends.

“It’s a good way to test your problem solving,” she said.

Businesses can also sign up a group to take on the challenge, which Buller noted can be a good teambuilding activity as well as fun.

When signing up – go to yorkton.bigbrothersbig-

sisters.ca and look under events -- team members must pledge a minimum of $30. If someone wants to participate but doesn’t have a team, they can sign up and be assigned to one, said Buller.

“It’s a good way to make some new friends,” she said.

There are time slots Thursday, May 27 through Saturday, May 29 allowing teams to book into a time that works for them.

Players will be connected through Zoom, said Buller, adding players can each be at their own computer, or gather as a group, to take on the room challenge.

And the ice cometh The impact of an ice storm which hit Yorkton and area in the middle of the night Friday is still being assessed. The storm caused an interruption in power across most of the city just after 3 a.m.

The ice caused many branches to break off, and some of those branches hit parked cars, and homes, and not just in the city.

The storm hit area farms as well, such as the one owned by Jeff and Kristina Just west of the city.

Legacy Co-op donates to foundation Legacy Co-op commits to $80,000 investment to Yorkton & District Community Foundation.

Legacy Co-op, in celebration of their 80 years in business has made a commitment of $80,000 over 8 years to the Yorkton & District Community Foundation.

“This donation will help the Foundation fund many activities now and into the future, and we felt that a larger commitment will only grow the foundation into the future”,” said Gene

Krepakevich, President of Co-op.

Vice[1] Legacy

“I’m proud to say we are a local business and we are committed to investing in local groups and organizations that will benefit all our members that live, work and play where we do” continued Krepakevich.

The Yorkton & District Community Foundation works with charities in our com-

munities to identify local needs and to advocate for social change, works with donors who wish

to make meaningful and lasting contributions to the well-being of their community, and sup-

ports charitable organizations that provide programs and services to our communities.

Legacy Co-op donated $10,000 in 2020 to the Foundation and was a major contributor to the “masks for seniors” initiative last year.

“Founders Table has seen participant numbers double in its second year, with positive impacts to their business being reported, including leadership, stronger marketing, and a surge in hiring additional employees,” WESK Chief Executive Officer Prabha Mitchell said in the release. “Support for this program will go a long way in continuing to help change under-representation in the industry.”

Innovation Saskatchewan’s investment helps build a strong community of female tech founders in the province.

Founders Table will provide indepth learning sessions presented by leaders in Saskatchewan’s tech community on topics such as creating and pitching your product, connecting with customers, and accessing ecosystem supports. Applicants will be considered in August and the 10 to 15 successful candidates will begin meeting in September.

Founders Table members can come from anywhere in Saskatchewan but must have less than five years in business and gross revenues under $250,000.

Innovation Saskatchewan is committing $60,000 per year for the next two years to help propel the growth of women-led technology companies in the province.

Consistent with the final report and recommendations of the Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan’s Advisory Committee on the Gender Entrepreneurship Gap, this funding will support the continuation of the Founders Table program, noted a recent government release.

Founders Table is a mentorship program which brings together female technology entrepreneurs to gain new business skills, knowledge, and create industry connections. Innovation Saskatchewan partnered with Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan (WESK) in 2019 and 2020 to launch this initiative.

“We are very excited to be announcing our continued support of the Founders Table program,” Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said in the release. “Building a tech ecosystem conducive for women to scale their companies is critical to the ongoing growth of Saskatchewan’s tech sector and our Government’s Growth Plan - in which we aim to triple the tech sector over the next ten years.”

“Investments in programs such as this one that support budding entrepreneurs are of great value to the business community.”

According to a 2018 WESK report on women entrepreneurs, it was found that women are highly under-represented in Canada’s tech sector, with only six per cent of founders being female. This program aims to address that gap by providing support, mentorship, and networking opportunities for female tech founders, noted the release.
