FSIN and province call for federal action to research undocumented deaths and burials in residential schools in Saskatchewan Following the discovery of the remains of 215 children buried on the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School on the Tk’emlups te Secwépemc First Nation in British Columbia, the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) and the Government of Saskatchewan are issuing a joint call for the Government of Canada to immediately commence research on undocumented deaths and burials in residential schools in Saskatchewan, including radar ground search at residential school sites.

The FSIN has indicated that initial sites for radar ground search should include Muskowekwan Indian Residential School (IRS), Onion Lake St. Anthony’s IRS, Beauval IRS, Guy Hill IRS, Lebret IRS and Sturgeon

Landing IRS, along with additional sites in consultation with First Nations in Saskatchewan.

“Our First Nations communities and families need closure to begin healing from the traumas forced upon them at these residential schools,” FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron said. “There are thousands of families across this country and in our Treaty territories that have been waiting for their children to come home.

These children deserve the respect and dignity of proper burials and we must follow protocol and work with our Elders to ensure that their souls are at peace.

We respectfully ask all First Nations across Canada to join us on this very important healing journey. We are calling on the Liberal Government, the NDP and Conservative parties

to support us in this endeavour.”

“Saskatchewan is supporting the call from the FSIN and FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron for the federal government to take immediate action following the tragic discovery of the remains of 215 children at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School,” Premier Scott Moe said. “With an estimated 20 federal residential schools operated in Saskatchewan, meaningful reconciliation in our province must include research into the estimated hundreds of children that did not return home after attending these institutions, including radar ground search. Saskatchewan is prepared to support this work through the Ministry of First Nations, Métis and Northern Affairs in collaboration with

the FSIN and First Nations in Saskatchewan.”

In commemoration of the 215 children whose remains were discovered on the site of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, flags at the Saskatchewan Legislative Building will be flown at halfmast until further notice.

The residential school system operated in Canada for more than a century. The federal government reports that 150,000 Indigenous children were removed and separated from their families and communities to attend these schools.

The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) estimates that approximately 20 federal residential schools operated in Saskatchewan from the 1880s to the 1990s.

The province has recently

acted to protect cemeteries at residential school sites in Saskatchewan. In 2019, the Battelford Industrial School Cemetery, the resting place for at least 74 children who died while attending the institution, was marked as a Provincial Heritage Property.

Similarly, the Regina Indian Industrial School Cemetery, the resting place of approximately 36 children, was designated a Provincial Heritage Property in 2017.

The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan.

The Federation is committed to honouring the spirit and intent of the Treaties, as well as the promotion, protection and implementation of the Treaty promises that were made more than a century ago.

What a hoot! Burrowing Owls are back!

Regina, SK - May 25, 2021 – Burrowing Owls have returned to the prairies after a long migration from their wintering grounds in Texas and Mexico.

Breeding season is currently underway for these endangered owls.

The female burrowing owls are now incubating the eggs (average 6-12), while the males can often be seen standing next to the burrow or on nearby fence posts.

These unique owls can be identified by their small size (~9 inches tall) and light and dark brown mottled plumage with white spots. They have round heads with large yellow eyes and white ‘eye-

brows’.

Their long featherless legs give them the appearance of walking on stilts.

Burrowing owls are one of the smallest owls in

Canada and the only species of owl that lives underground. The Shorteared Owl is sometimes confused with the Burrowing Owl, as they nest on the ground. They can be distinguished from the Burrowing Owl by their larger size, feathered legs, streaked breast and dark eye patches.

Despite their name, Burrowing Owls do not dig their own burrows.

Instead they rely on abandoned burrows from badgers, ground squirrels (gophers) and other burrowing mam-

mals. Burrowing Owls coexist very well with cattle because the shorter grass on a grazed pasture allows them to sight predators more efficiently. They also use the manure to line their burrows to absorb moisture, regulate temperature, attract insects for food and hide their scent from predators.

Celebrating Saskatchewan’s critical minerals for Mining Week 2021 The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed May 30 to June 5, 2021, Mining Week.

The theme is “Saskatchewan’s Critical Minerals Essential to Global Supply Chains,” which provides an opportunity to showcase Saskatchewan’s worldclass mining sector.

Despite the economic challenges associated with the global COVID-19 pandemic, Saskatchewan’s mining sales, particularly in potash, remain strong. In 2020, they generated $6 billion. The provincial mining sector accounts for more than 11 per cent of Saskatchewan’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and supports more than 12,000 jobs across the province.

“Saskatchewan is a

global leader in potash and uranium production, an emerging producer of helium and lithium, and home to over 20 critical minerals, including rare earth ele-

ments such as cerium, lanthanum, praseodymium and neodymium,” Energy and Resources Minister Bronwyn Eyre said. “There are exciting opportunities ahead

for mineral exploration in our province, as the mining sector continues to innovate and grow.”

Saskatchewan was recently recognized by the Mining Journal

Intelligence World Risk Report as the numberone global jurisdiction for mining investment opportunity. The same report also awarded Saskatchewan an AAA rating for overall investment—one of only two jurisdictions to achieve this.

Saskatchewan’s Growth Plan sets goals to reach $9 billion in potash sales and $2 billion in uranium sales by 2030.

“Mining Week in Saskatchewan provides an opportunity to celebrate the achievements and contributions of the exploration and mining industry to the economic growth of Saskatchewan,” Saskatchewan Mining Association President Pam Schwann said.

“This year’s theme of

Saskatchewan’s Critical Minerals – essential to global supply chains, showcases the critical role Saskatchewan mineral production has in the value chain of providing clean energy and food security to the world, as well as our emerging role as a secure and reliable supplier of other critical minerals that are essential to the low carbon, technology economy.”

This week’s events include a virtual launch, presentations and activities hosted by the Saskatchewan Mining Association and will highlight how Saskatchewan continues to be a top global investment jurisdiction of choice for the exploration, discovery and development of minerals.

Taking a walk for clean water

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Matthew Erickson has taken up the challenge of raising awareness about the need to clean water in developing countries.

And, at the same time his effort is raising money to help with the cause.

Two weeks ago, Erickson, the associate pastor at the Yorkton Dream Centre, and also a Member Experience Coach at Anytime Fitness, decided he would walk the walk, the same way kids in developing countries do to get water — taking six kilometres trips.

Erickson, who moved to Yorkton with his family in the summer of 2018, went by foot carrying an empty, 40 litre water jug, three kilometres to a grocery store, filled it up and then walked home carrying the full jug.

Erickson’s effort proved a huge suc-

cess, so much so he upped his fundraising goal -- initially set at $500 -- to $750 and said if he met it, he would double-down and carry two full 40 litre jugs for the three-kilometre walk home.

Erickson surpassed the new goal so Monday he took the double jug walk.

For Erickson supporting efforts dedicated to helping ensure clean water in other nations is not new.

In the spring of 2019 Erickson was one of the key people behind a ‘Walk for Water’ in Yorkton, a six kilometre trek held in partnership with World Vision.

“I did take the lead in putting that together and hope to do more events like that,” he said.

“However, due to COVID restrictions we are unable to have a large gathering like that, and World Vision has instead planned a nation-wide day to take place on May 29. The ‘virtual’

Sr. baseball back

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Southeast Senior Baseball League is about to kick-off its 2021 season, albeit with a shortened schedule and fewer teams.

“We’re going to give it a go,” said Mark Jacobs with the Parkland Pirates, one of four teams in the league this summer.

The other full participants will be a new Yorkton team, the Marlins, along with the Canora Supras and the Langenburg Legends.

There have been Manitoba teams in the past, but not this year.

“With everything going on in their province they can’t come over here,” said Jacobs, so those teams are taking a year off.

“Hopefully they’ll (Grandview and

Roblin), be back next year,” added Jacobs.

The four teams will also play a reduced number of games against the Parkland U18 team to give that team some extra outings, said Jacobs.

As it stands the four teams will play three-games against the others, and one against the U18s for a 10-game schedule.

While the final schedule will be hammered out this week, Jacobs said they are looking at action starting June 14.

Jacobs said they could have started early but added “us old guys need some spring training to get the kinks out.”

The league hopes to be finished, including playoffs, by the end of July, as they hope to put together a regional team for provincial play in August, said Jacobs.

part of the event will allow anyone to participate from wherever they are, knowing that people across the country are doing it at the same time as them.”

Erickson explained he has been involved with World Vision for years.

“My wife and I started sponsoring kids through World Vision back in 2006, but it wasn’t until we moved to Yorkton that I learned about their Global 6K For Water,” he said. “Given my jobs as pastor and personal trainer, it just seemed like the perfect combination of both and I was excited to get involved.”

As for his recent solo walk it was an idea which grew out of the pandemic restrictions.

“Because we aren’t able to plan a big event, I hadn’t had as much luck getting people to register and fundraise – understandably -- so I wanted to try a different approach this year,” said Erickson.

“So on May 8, I took one of our empty Culligan water jugs (18.9 litres) and carried it from my house to Save On Foods -- I found out that distance was almost exactly three kilometres.”

And from there Erickson’s personal water walk began.

“The walk there took me about 30 minutes, but it took around an hour to walk home,” he said.

“I have a heart rate monitor that I use at Anytime Fitness and I wore it for the walk, and the walk home was equivalent to over two hard workouts.

“I do a lot of exercise at the gym, but this was one of the most difficult hours I’ve ever done, and I had plenty of aches and pains for a number of days afterwards.”

But the aches and pains would pass, but not Erickson’s determination to raise awareness about water.

“Since it did start creating a little bit of buzz from my own social media and with friends and family, I decided to try another challenge to raise a bit more,” he said.

“At the time I had raised just over $400, so I said that if I could raise at least $750 before the end of May I would carry two jugs for 3 km. It took only one day before I had exceeded that goal, and currently people have donated over $1,100.

“I physically don’t think I would be able to carry two of the Culligan bottles, and so I have some water containers from World Vision that actually hold a little bit more but are easier to carry because they are a different shape.”

The doubling down meant Erickson was carrying around 80 pounds of water in a three kilometre loop around his house.

On May 29, Erickson and his family will also participate in the nation-wide event.

“On that day it will be just a walk with my family -- my kids are 5 and 2 -so it won’t be as physically demanding, although I do expect to carry my daughter and/or push my son in his stroller a good portion of the six kilometres,” he said.

Erickson said any support of the water walk effort is appreciated, noting it takes an average of $50 to bring one person sustainable access to clean water, “I am proud to say that the $1,100 will bring 22 people water,” he said.

His donation link is as follows: bit.ly/ merickson6k In addition to donations, if anyone is interested they can still join and participate. Registration for the Global 6K For Water is free, although donations are obviously encouraged.

“Besides my wife and kids who are also registered, at least two other people from Yorkton are registered that I know of, and anyone else is able to join by clicking the “Join Team” option on my fundraising page,” he said.

EDITORIAL Energy road map charts challenging course to oil-free future Thirty-three years ago, NASA scientist James Hansen told a U.S. congressional committee the agency was 99 per cent certain a global warming trend was not natural, but caused by a buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mainly from burning fossil fuels.

“Global warming has reached a level such that we can ascribe with a high degree of confidence a cause and effect relationship between the greenhouse effect and observed warming,” Hansen said, adding, “It is already happening now.”

George Woodwell, director of the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts, testified that wide-scale forest destruction would speed the warming, as dying forests release stored carbon dioxide.

It’s shocking that so many people decided the best course would be to shrug and carry on as usual in the face of dire, compelling statements from scientists who thoroughly examined the

problem — not to mention evidence building since Joseph Fourier’s discoveries in the 1820s to a U.S. National Academy of Sciences report in 1977 and congressional hearings on climate in the early 1980s held by Rep. Al Gore (later senator, then vice-president).

There was talk but little action.

Now all those warnings are reality: rapidly escalating temperatures, rising sea levels, increasing extreme weather events and more. More than 30 years after Hansen’s testimony, we’re in crisis because industry and governments failed to act.

Can that change over the next 30?

A new report from the International Energy Agency notes that a growing number of governments worldwide are pledging to zero out emissions over the coming decades. “But the pledges by governments to date — even if fully achieved — fall well short of what is required to bring global energy-

DAVID SUZUKI

Science Matters related carbon dioxide emissions to net zero by 2050 and give the world an even chance of limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C.” One silver lining in “Net Zero by 2050: A Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector” is its finding that reducing, capturing and neutralizing emissions will benefit human prosperity and well-being beyond simply slowing global heating — although it warns the path “is narrow and requires an unprecedented transformation of how energy is produced, transported and used globally.”

Following recommendations from the report’s “more than 400 milestones” would create

“millions of jobs in clean energy, including energy efficiency, as well as in the engineering, manufacturing and construction industries,” an IEA release said. The report stresses governments must minimize hardships for people and communities affected by the energy transition, with regional aid, retraining and locating clean energy infrastructure near affected communities to maintain jobs.

Measures such as providing electricity and clean cooking solutions to those who lack them would bring major health benefits by cutting pollution and could prevent 2.5 million premature deaths a year.

But it means getting

off fossil fuels — quickly.

Unwillingness to start the transition when we first became aware of the need means we have no time left to lose. The report finds fossil fuel use must fall from fourfifths of energy supply today to around one-fifth in 2050, and that demand will continue to plummet. There’s no place for new coal, oil or gas development, including pipelines. Remaining fossil fuels must be “used in goods where the carbon is embodied in the product such as plastics, in facilities fitted with carbon capture, and in sectors where low-emissions technology options are scarce.”

The immediate goals are to rapidly phase out coal power and internal combustion engine vehicles and halt new oil and gas development.

The report notes most CO2 reductions through to 2030 can be made using available technologies but that “in 2050, almost half the reductions come from technologies that are currently at the dem-

onstration or prototype phase.” Electricity must “play a key role across all sectors, from transport and buildings to industry.”

The road map shows that by 2050, 90 per cent of global electricity generation could come from renewable sources, 70 per cent from solar photovoltaic and wind. A David Suzuki Foundation study also found getting to net zero means electrifying just about everything: cars, buses, trucks, home and building heat pumps, industrial furnaces and more.

The era of coal, oil and gas is over. We’ve done too little for the past 30 years. For the next 30, let’s work toward a cleaner, healthier future for all.

Significant new agriculture investment announced in Southeast Saskatchewan Ceres Global Ag to Build USD $350 Million Canola Crush Plant at Northgate Today, the Government of Saskatchewan welcomed the announcement by Ceres Global Ag of its plans to build a new USD $350 million integrated canola crush facility at Northgate.

“Adding value to agriculture products right here in Saskatchewan will help us reach the goals set out in our Growth Plan,” Premier Scott Moe said. “We welcome Ceres Global’s investment in Northgate to support and provide southeast Saskatchewan growers with a unique and valuable option for marketing their canola.

With its direct connection to the BNSF railroad, Ceres can offer Saskatchewan growers access to a variety of markets in the United States.”

Construction of the new 1.1 million metric tonne canola processing plant at Northgate is

around the world.”

expected to begin in 2022 and will increase exports of value-added products via the direct connection to the BNSF Railway adjacent to the United States border.

“With this investment

by Ceres, our capacity for value-added production within our province will be further increased, producing more high-quality canola oil and meal for export to current and new markets around the world,” Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison said.

“This is good news for jobs and our economy in Saskatchewan, and this also supports our Growth Plan goal to increase agri-food exports to $20 billion in the years ahead.”

In 2013, Ceres purchased 1,300 acres of land at Northgate to construct its commodity logistics hub, which was fully operational by 2015. In September 2020, Ceres acquired the Nicklen Siding grain elevator in Ridgedale, Saskatchewan.

“Today’s announcement by Ceres is an important step forward in growing our agriculture sector and ensuring our producers are able to keep more value from the commodities they produce,” Agriculture Minister David Marit said. “We are excited that Ceres has decided to locate their facility in Saskatchewan, joining the growing list of companies who recognize our industry for the highquality and reliability that we are known for

“This is an exciting time for Ceres Global as we position ourselves to take advantage of the unprecedented demand for oilseed crush in North America,” Ceres Global President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Day said. “We have been analyzing canola crush at Northgate for several years as its location along the Canada-U.S. border is ideally located to originate canola seed from our farmer partners, and with a direct connection to BNSF Railway, it provides the most efficient access to the U.S. market and U.S. ports.”

Ambitious goals in Saskatchewan’s Growth Plan for 2030 include crushing 75 per cent of the canola produced in the province, growing Saskatchewan’s agrifood exports to CDN $20 billion, increasing agriculture value-added revenue to $10 billion, increasing the value of exports by 50 per cent,

and growing private capital investment in Saskatchewan to $16 billion annually.

Skirmish game renews older offering Metal miniatures are far from a new aspect of gaming, go back decades with historical battles recreated.

Even sci-fi gaming has a rather long history, with some older games managing to find their way back to the tabletop thanks to new releases.

Such is the case with Legions of Steel, that are being released again, this time with skirmish rules from Canadian company Raybox Games.

Marco Pecota is the man behind Raybox and Legions of Steel, and not surprisingly, a long-time gamer.

“I was an avid gamer for years, starting to game 40 years ago,” he said via email. “I gamed for many many years but took a break back in the late 90s. Now I am back gaming and designing.”

When asked for favourite miniature skir-

mish game he unabashedly pointed to his own.

“My favourite skirmish miniatures game is my own Legions of Steel,” he said.

The game has been around for decades.

“Back in 1990 I was designing some small game expansions and wanted to sink my teeth into a larger game, but what to do?” said Pecota.

“I had two partners then Clark Browning and Derick Villeneuve. At a convention in London we had a chance to play Space Hulk -- great game but limited in tactical value. It inspired us to create Legions of Steel.

“These two are often compared where Space Hulk would be Checkers to Legions of Steel which would be to Chess.”

What were they trying to achieve with the game?

“To create a fast

THE MEEPLE GUILD (YORKTON) meeple.guild@gmail.com paced and engaging tactical miniatures skirmish game,” offered Pecota.

The initial incarnation of the game took about a year to develop back in 1991-92.

So what was the most difficult aspect of designing the game?

“For this game the most difficult part was to create the game to be realistic but playable,” offered Pecota. “We wanted the mechanics to represent real combat tactics but it needed to

be streamlined so it did not bog down in lengthy rules. As a result, many of the fans of the game are military or ex-military soldiers.

“What you have is real world tactics playing out in a close combat miniatures board game and set in a rich and deep fictional background. There were hundreds of pages written on the background published over five books plus multiple magazine articles.”

A bit of the fluff from

the website: “At the edge of darkness something stirred.

No living being witnessed the arrival of the Machines when they emerged from the intergalactic rift. Huge hulks of melted metal slowly advanced to the edge of the Milky Way galaxy.

The badly damaged ships wandered the sparse edge of the galaxy, searching for new homes.

“Striking deep into enemy territory, the forces of the United Nations of Earth take the offensive. Play a section of elite commandos in powered armour through their missions to destroy a crucial machine complex.

“Meanwhile, the machines fight on with unrelenting determination. Command a horde of skeletal G1 Nightmare robots led by ten feet of

raw terror, the dreaded Mark 1 Assault Fiend.

An enemy with out feeling, without fear, without soul.

“Your actions determine the fate of the galaxy. Can humanity defeat the mechanical horrors that besiege them or will the galaxy fall under the grip of the Legions of Steel?”

While fully sci-fi, the realism of combat in Legions of Steel stands out for Pecota, who noted “the simplicity of carrying out real world tactical decisions without being bogged down by complicated rules.”

It is the long history that gives this game its uniqueness.

“Most do not have the depth of lore that Legions of Steel offers,” said Pecota. “As mentioned before, tactical depth while keeping simplicity.”

Medically themed TV shows and movies often have an “expert” listed in the ending credits.

One would think that this person has graduated at, or at least near, the top of their class. After all, they are, supposedly, giving accurate advice on how to infuse realism into the show.

When, in actual life, medical procedures are criticized because someone has seen it “done correctly just last night on The Good Doctor”, I feel compelled to clear up a few misconceptions.

First: A doctor will not order fifteen tests, including a stat MRI, without examining you first.

Second: Among other things, the doctor who is on duty in the ER is not the one who will care for your complicated pregnancy, do major bowel surgery or diagnose you as a psychotic killer.

Specialists do these things in other areas of the hospital, or at another hospital altogether.

Third: You will not

PATTIE JANZEN

Laugh at Life...

Revisited INSTANTLY collapse and/or die from anything given with a needle into your muscle or when given a pill you must swallow. Depending on the substance it would, at least, take a few minutes.

Fourth: Not only will you NOT DIE from vomiting in pregnancy but, you will never push a baby’s head through your vagina only to have it pushed back up inside so that a c/section can be performed.

Fifth: IVs are not started at a ninetydegree angle! Also, if you decide to yank yours out, there WILL BE blood spilling from the site.

Take note: the way most

nurses tape an IV, (because we don’t want to restart it!), even a good tug will only achieve hair-pulling, hopefully making you rethink the wisdom of your actions.

Sixth: No medical professional will defibrillate a heart that has stopped beating completely so—when you see a flat-line on the TV’s heart monitor—that person is dead and won’t be brought back to life by a “shock”. Medications, perhaps, but no shock.

Seventh: There is only so much blood inside one human body. If you see bucket-fulls of it on the floor, it’s clearly not yours because—you would be dead. (Of

course, in Hollywood, the blood transfusions are readily available at a moment’s notice. They, apparently, don’t need time to make sure it is safe for you.)

Eighth: A trip to the ER with your ingrown toenail will never trump a cardiac arrest, spurting blood from an artery, a bone sticking out, abdominal pain or … just about any other complaint. If you still insist on going, bring a novel with you and expect to finish it while you wait.

Ninth: The surgical team performing your brain or heart surgery WILL NOT stop in the middle of it to solve their relationship dilemmas or to ask one another out on dates.

Clearly, the aforementioned “experts” who are, undoubtedly, paid an obscene amount of money to give the writers of these shows incorrect information, graduated (?) … at the bottom of their class.

Take note of their names and steer clear!

Capturing history through quilting Saskatoon – University of Saskatchewan (USask) College of Education students are helping to preserve the culture and history of the province’s oldest permanent settlement, one quilt patch at a time.

Established in 1774, Cumberland House is located in the heart of the Saskatchewan River Delta and is home to many First Nations and Métis peoples. As part of an Indigenous Studies course in the college’s Cree teacher education program, USask students located in the northern community have worked to translate the stories of their relatives and Elders into quilt patches.

“Part of our Indigenous Studies pedagogy is that in order to know where you’re going, you need to know

Sask education students with their quilt patches. where it is you come from,” said Lily McKayCarriere, longtime educator, retired administrator, and program coordinator. “Connecting students with the Knowledge Keepers and Elders in our community gives them a greater understanding of their history and helps them to be more grounded.”

Student Pierrette

Settee said hearing her mother share how her grandfather, Chief Tom Settee, had to relocate his community from Pine Bluff to Cumberland House, or risk all the children being taken by an Indian agent to residential school, inspired her to continue talking to her Elders.

“There’s a lot of secrets and buried stor-

ies that I didn’t know because I didn’t ask,” said Settee. “It’s time to ask.”

For student Jared Crane, this experience has helped him develop a deeper understanding of his ancestors. Crane created a moosehide patch, beaded in a medicine wheel pattern by his mother, whom he had interviewed.

“We talked about the intergenerational transmission of First Nation and Métis knowledge and the values and concepts behind the medicine wheel. We talked about how her parents taught her values such as respect for others and took her out on the land,” Crane said. “As I grew up, I participated in doing these activities with them, but I was young. We never really talked about it, I experienced it by doing it.”

Initially intended to be sewn together, as the quilt patches came in, McKay-Carriere realized that the presentation format was going to have to be rethought.

“We discovered they were all done on different medium—some leather, some cloth with beadwork, some on pieces of birchbark,” said McKay-Carriere.

“So, we placed them in

individual frames. We’re framing a story now instead of stitching it up.”

McKay-Carriere said she is proud of the work the students did and is looking forward to the patches being placed on display at a museum run by the Kwegich Historical Society in Cumberland House.

“These patches are a real representation of the Indigenous people here. It is only now as we decolonize ourselves that we are bringing back those traditions and those stories. You’ll notice those themes coming out in these quilt patches,” said McKayCarriere.

“This project is to thank the many people in our community who have supported this program and these students.

It’s our way of giving back,” she said.

Predicting the unpredictable: How scientists are improving cold-region water and climate prediction models

By Ashleigh Mattern Saskatoon – The world is changing rapidly, and the past is no longer a guide to the future in terms of extreme events and floods.

That’s one of the findings from a report on the Changing Cold Regions Network (CCRN), a summary of the research program that wrapped up in 2018 and which recently compiled many of its scientific advances in a special issue of the journal Hydrology and Earth System Sciences.

The CCRN research aimed to improve forecasting and prediction models in order to better understand what challenges Western and Northern Canada might be facing in the future as the planet heats up.

Unprecedented events like the Fort McMurray, Alta., wildfire in 2016 and the Calgary flood in 2013 might start to become more common and more severe, said Dr. Chris DeBeer, science manager of CCRN and the pan-Canadian Global Water Futures (GWF) program, led by the University of Saskatchewan (USask) Global Institute for Water Security (GIWS) and Centre for Hydrology.

“Being able to better understand what the future might hold in store is very important to society, for our water resources and for infrastructure and health and many other related things,” said DeBeer.

Challenging ments

environ-

As it turns out, the prairies, the mountains, and the north can be difficult to model.

“Surface water connections are not existing all the time, and a lot of the prairie landscape is covered in glacial depressions that only connect periodically,” DeBeer said. “It’s always been a challenge for standard models to represent that.”

The research done by CCRN improved the ability of the models to represent the hydrology in Western and Northern Canada, which has unique features like permafrost and glaciers.

GWF, an expanded follow-on program from CCRN, is further advancing the models and focusing on all of Canada as well as the cold and high mountain regions of the world, which supply water to much of the global population.

“These are challenging environments,”

DeBeer said. “Processes like snow melt and infiltration into frozen ground and the freezing and thawing of soils— cold regions processes are unique and difficult to represent in computer models.”

Climate change is also impacting the landscapes and land cover, like agriculture and grasslands creeping north, shrubs encroaching on tundra, and deciduous trees replacing evergreens in the boreal forest. These changes can have an impact on the predictions made by these models.

Changing landscapes Dr. Jennifer Baltzer, associate professor and Canada Research Chair at Wilfrid Laurier University and a lead researcher with GWF, was part of CCRN with a focus on high latitude land cover change.

If you change the vegetation type, it impacts a range of processes, including the way snow and rain are intercepted to the amount of water that goes back into the atmosphere, Baltzer said.

“The type of vegetation you have in these regions has strong controls on some of these

physical water and energy related exchanges,” she said.

The CCRN research captured major climate warming-induced vegetation transition scenarios in simulation runs of the land surface models that Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), and CCRN were using.

The models have a range of different land cover types which are used as part of scenarios they run. Baltzer said that by modifying the land covers, we can start to assess what the implications are of climate warming-induced vegetation change.

Hydrologic and land cover models are being developed in parallel.

An important step is bringing these models together to improve the accuracy of our forecasts, Baltzer said.

“If you’re going to try to anticipate one and ignore the other, you’re not going to get it right because the two talk to each other and interact with one another.”

A national effort to improve emergency response The GWF program is working with ECCC to improve their operational prediction system,

Banking built on relationships Canadian Western Bank offers low-fee and no-fee personal accounts and unique financial solutions.

which can help inform emergency response management, including when the provinces issue flood forecasts.

Researchers have worked to improve the fine-scale Cold Regions Hydrological Modelling platform, and the largescale MESH (Modélisation Environmentale Communautaire – Surface and Hydrology) model — the hydrology land-surface scheme of ECCC’s community environmental modelling system.

This is a system that has taken science advan-

ces from CCRN and GWF and applies the model in key river basins in Canada, including the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence, Saskatchewan–Nelson, Mackenzie, Fraser, Columbia, Saint John, and the Yukon.

“Together, we’re developing a national framework that is tied into the ECCC framework,” DeBeer said.

“We’re making advances in different parts of the country on the physics and how we run these models, and we can use this science to do that.”

USask researchers funded to tackle MS, osteoporosis, and plant health Saskatoon – Three interdisciplinary, multiinstitutional projects led by University of Saskatchewan (USask) researchers have each been awarded $250,000 over two years under a federal funding program that fosters innovative high-risk research with the potential for significant and impactful results.

The New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) exploration grants were awarded for:

• Research by the team of USask College of Medicine neurology professor Dr. Michael Levin (MD) and collaborators from the University of Waterloo to combine synchrotron technology, computational biology, and molecular neurobiology to design treatments for decreasing nerve cell deterioration in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients; • Research by the team of Dr. David Cooper (PhD), professor of anat-

omy, physiology and pharmacology in the medical college, along with collaborators from the University of Alberta and Queensland University of Technology in Australia, to use bone science, biomedical engineering, synchrotron imaging and computer modelling for developing better treatment regimens for osteoporosis; • Research by the team of Dr. Byung-Kook (Brian) Ham (PhD), assistant professor in

biology at the College of Arts and Science and research chair in USask’s Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS), to combine plant biology and plasma physics along with real-time imaging to help improve crops by studying how a live plant’s vascular system distributes minerals to survive under nutrientstress conditions.

Improving lives of MS patients Canada has some of

the highest rates of MS in the world, and Saskatchewan in particular has some of the nation’s highest rates of the autoimmune disease, which causes acute attacks of neurologic dysfunction.

Current drug treatments are effective in stopping the immune system of MS patients from attacking myelin—the protective outer coating of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord— and stabilizing symptoms

such as fatigue, muscle weakness and incontinence, Levin said.

However, the immune system attack is believed to trigger degeneration of the nerve under the myelin in about half of MS patients, leading to a “slow, smouldering loss of neurologic function, which is what we are looking at,” he said.

His USask team found a mutated form of a large protein—known as A1— in the brains of MS Continued on Page 9

SGI and law enforcement focusing on seatbelts and child restraints in June In November of 2019, three-year-old Kinsley Powell was in the backseat of her grandfather’s SUV on Highway 2 near Wakaw.

As they rounded a curve, an oncoming car swerved, straightened out and then lost control and slammed into the SUV, almost head-on.

The resulting head-on crash was very violent, resulting in the tragic death of the car’s driver and severe injuries to Kinsley’s grandfather.

Kinsley’s mom, Jasmine Draude, was travelling to the same destination in a separate vehicle. She arrived on the scene moments after the collision took place, even before first responders.

Jasmine found Kinsley was completely uninjured, aside from a couple of scratches from the curtain airbag, thanks to being properly restrained in her car seat.

“It was terrifying to see my father’s SUV partially in the ditch, with its front end destroyed, knowing my daughter was in that vehicle,” Jasmine said. “If Kinsley

wasn’t properly secured in her car seat, there is no doubt she would have been very, very badly hurt... or worse.”

Because she was properly fastened in that car seat, Kinsley is now a vibrant five-year-old who loves spending time at the lake, dancing, and going for bike rides with her family.

In a collision or sudden stop, properly fastened occupant restraints – seatbelts for adults, car seats and boosters for kids – can mean the difference between death/serious injury and walking away unscathed.

Saskat-

chewan law enforcement and SGI are focusing on seatbelts and child restraints this month as a part of the June Traffic Safety Spotlight. As part of the campaign, SGI will be sharing tips and resources for families who are ready to make a change in how they buckle up and a commitment to always buckle up, even on short trips.

“Parents are always looking out for the safety of their children, but may have questions about when their little ones want to grow up and use the same seatbelt system as Mom and Dad,“ said Penny McCune,

USASK Continued from Page 8 patients. The Frontiers award will be used to study the mutation that causes A1 to get stuck and tangled (aggregate) inside the cytoplasm of nerve cells in MS patients, contributing to cell death.

“This grant is about interrupting that aggregation, and getting the A1 untangled so it can go about its business normally, shuttle back on forth between the nucleus and cytoplasm delivering RNA,” said Levin.

RNA is ribonucleic acid, which is turned into proteins that fuel the cell.

Researchers aim to design small proteins, called peptides, to insert into the cell and untangle A1.

The research could lead to developing add-on drugs to save nerve cells, reduce disability, and improve the lives of persons living with MS, Levin said. The findings could also benefit others with neurologic diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Lou Gehrig’s that involve malfunctioning RNA-binding proteins, Levin said.

Studying osteoporosis development up close Osteoporosis, a disease that causes loss of bone mass and bone deterioration, affects two million Canadians.

Cooper’s lab focuses on the hard outer shell of the bone, which stores and releases calcium and phosphate as the body requires. Bone is a living tissue that accumulates microdamage over time and is renewed in a complex process called remodelling.

Remodelling occurs through basic multicellular units. The process has one cell type boring holes in the bone and another type refilling them.

However, as people age or are treated with glucocorticoid drugs (i.e. prednisone) for such as Crohn’s disease, the pores don’t completely fill in, leading to weakening of the bone, Cooper said.

Observing the pores forming within the bones of a live animal or human in real time is difficult because imaging pores the cross-sectional size of a human hair requires a very high dose of X-ray radiation.

“The innovation we bring to this project is using the CLS (Canadian Light Source), which gives us a pathway to seeing smaller things while minimizing the radiation dosage,” said Cooper.

Tracking mineral distribution in plants Ham’s New Frontiers project will— for the first time—use real-time imaging with a specially designed “portable synchrotron” to analyze how a plant mobilizes and redistributes key minerals at the whole-plant level to survive under nutrient-limiting stress conditions.

While many researchers at USask and elsewhere use the CLS for plant imaging using prepared samples of specific sections, currently there’s no method to map and image nutrient elements in an intact living plant, said Ham. “My intent is to break that limitation by using a unique X-ray based imaging platform developed by my project coinvestigator Dr. Jean-Claude Kieffer (PhD),” he said.

This next-generation platform, based on plasma physics and an integrated ultrafast laser that produces synchrotron-quality light in a compact package, can be used inside a lab or greenhouse, and provides high magnification and high-contrast real-time imaging of intact live plants.

Ham, who joined GIFS in 2018 as research chair in plant long distance molecular signalling, said this project, although slightly different, still involves plant signalling mediated through plant vascular tissues under stress conditions.

Computational analysis of the massive amount of data collected through to the project will help researchers extend the research into important crops such as wheat, sorghum and soybeans. The information will help plant breeders to develop varieties with more efficient nutrient acquisition/utilization that will reduce fertilizer input costs for farmers and increase environmental sustainability of agriculture, said Ham.

Chief Operating Officer of the Auto Fund. “We want parents to remember that your child’s size and weight is the only way to decide when to change what seat they use in your vehicle. It’s about making sure they fit the restraint system properly.”

Child seats are mandatory for all children in Saskatchewan who are: • Under age 7 • Less than 145 cm (4’9”) in height and • Under 36 kg (80lb.) in weight.

SGI recommends that children remain in a rear-facing car seat until they are at least 9 kg (22 lb) and shouldn’t transition to a booster seat until they are at least 18 kg (40lb). Child seats are not one-size-fits-all so be sure to check the manufacturer’s sizing instructions before you make the change. Children 12 and under should always sit in the back, away from where the front airbags deploy.

Keeping kids safe while in a vehicle can be challenging, but there are plenty of resources

to help. Always read the manufacturer’s guidelines that came with your car seat and follow their instructions. SGI has resources on our website about car seats and booster seats. If you need more help, reach out to a car seat technician in your area and make an appointment.

SGI will be featuring more tips and videos about car seats and seatbelts throughout the month of June on our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts. Follow along to learn more! And remember – every time you’re in a vehicle, buckle up! No matter how short the trip, putting on your seatbelt is the most important thing you can do to protect yourself while on the road.

USask and City of Saskatoon named to Smart Cities list for wastewater projects SASKATOON – The University of Saskatchewan (USask) and the City of Saskatoon have been honoured for their collaborative wastewater monitoring project that advances environmental and human health—one of 50 international projects named to the 2021 Smart 50 list.

Smart 50 Awards recognize global “smart cities” projects, honouring “the most innovative and influential work.” The award will be presented at the Smart 50 Awards gala in Washington, D.C., in October.

The award highlights the work of a joint project, funded by the Research Junction partnership between the City and USask, that measured levels of human pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics in Saskatoon’s wastewater to assess potential risks these chemicals might pose to the downstream environ-

Research Junction awards funding to projects that apply advanced research methods to addressing current issues in the city.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, the

partnership took an unexpected turn: USask researchers, together with the City of Saskatoon and the Saskatchewan Health Authority, began measuring traces of SARS-

CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, in Saskatoon’s wastewater.

Trace amounts of virus in wastewater is a leading indicator of impending surges in case numbers. By gathering this information, the team and its partners have been able to alert authorities to upcoming trends in COVID cases.

This project, initially funded by the Global Water Futures program and later awarded funding by the Public Health Agency of Canada, was also part of the award application.

“Working directly with City staff ensures that our wastewater research tackles some of the most immediate needs of municipalities today—from predicting virus trends to understanding potential environmental risks associated with trace contaminants such as pharmaceuticals in wastewater,” said toxi-

cologist Markus Brinkmann, USask principal investigator on the Research Junction project and a faculty member in the School of Environment and Sustainability.

“This partnership is in line with our aspiration to become the university the world needs.”

Mike Sadowski, manager of the City of Saskatoon’s Wastewater Treatment Plant, is the city’s principal investigator on the project.

“The City of Saskatoon is pleased to support this award-winning research by the University of Saskatchewan, which is making use of wastewater-based epidemiology to provide valuable information to our local health authority experts,” said Sadowski.

“This research has helped ensure Saskatoon

remains a safe and healthy place to live, learn, work, and play every day.”

The awards are sponsored by Smart Cities Connect, Smart Cities Connect Foundation, and US Ignite—organizations committed to seeing technology used to improve the quality of life for residents at the municipal level. The list includes honourees from around the globe, including two others from Canada: Vaughn and Kitchener, Ont. More information about the awards is available here: https://smartcitiesconnect.org/2021-smart-50awards/ Housed on the USask’s Global Institute for Water Security website, the latest wastewater data can be found here: https://water.usask. ca/covid-19

End of an era, Canora Lioness fold Courtesy of Canora Courier The Lioness clubs are an arm of the Lions club, and due to the restructuring by Lions International, Lioness clubs will no longer exist. It is with regret and through no fault of their own that after 35 years The Canora Wheatland Lioness Club must fold, said Sharon Ciesielski, charter member.

An item in The Canora Courier in January 1986 invited interested persons to attend an information night regarding the formation of a Lioness Club, and on May 10, 1986 at a formal event, The Canora Wheatland Lioness Club was certified with 24 members.

“From the outset the club was very busy and continued so throughout,” said Ciesielski.

“You could spot us in the crowd wearing our crested vests and later purple shirts at community events; Youth Exchange Night, Bake Sales, June Daze pancake breakfast, Breakfast with Santa, reception for the Queen Elizabeth II visit, working protocol for 1986 winter games, sponsored family bowling, children’s candy treasure hunt, used glasses depot, Lodge Birthdays, Octoberfest, sponsored diabetic, Alzheimer’s and drug awareness presentations, co-sponsored New Years dance with Lions Club, hosted Cold Rush variety show, shopping spree, welcome wagon, Christmas hampers, graduation wrist bands, daffodil campaign, festival of trees at the CN station, journey for sight, hosted wives of provincial men’s curling, Christmas

parade, New Years baby quilt and sham, Community in Bloom Picnic in the Park, worked our turn at Bingo, served lunch at auction sales, worked bar for several events, Christmas social with the senior clients at the Housing Authority, hosted and participated with Relay for Life, hosted a few Governor’s nights, participated in CJGX digital mammography for the Health Foundation campaign, sponsored Child Find, Prairie Women on Snowmobiles (PWOS), served hot chocolate to Jr Elementary on Snow Shoe day, sponsored District 5 SKN speak-off, sponsored Health and Safety Expo, participated in the Canora Centennial celebration, purchased Shrine tickets for Nursery School, participated in Terry Fox Run – just to name a few.”

The Canora Wheatland Lioness Club received the Town of Canora volunteer organization award, Multiple District 5 Lioness of the Year award and Roman Kosie award for most eye glasses collected.

“We twinned with the San Fernando Lioness Club in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago,” recalled Ciesielski.

“Ladies Night Fashion shows and games of chance proved to be fun and enjoyable for women of all ages , and it was always a pleasure to book live entertainment for your enjoyment. You might recall some of the most recent; Free my Muse, Metro, Rory Allen tribute to Elvis Presley, Darcy Lang, Bobby Bruce tribute to Neil Diamond, A R Cash tribute to Johnny Cash, Come Back King Show

tribute to Elvis Presley and Tom Jones.”

Events were usually well attended and funds donated locally over the years totalled approximately $75,000. Local and area causes supported by those funds included: Youth Exchange ($3,025), Local citizen’s aid ($2,448), Gateway Lodge and Canora Hospital ($11,933), Yorkton Health Foundation ($12,025), Canora & District Health Foundation ($7,343), High School Scholarships ($6,150), School of Dance ($200), Parkland Music Festival ($825), School piano fundraiser ($2,462), Canora Arts Council ($850), School concerts and supplies ($4,100), junior curling stones ($200), Canora swimming pool ($2,000 in 1986 and 2021), Christmas Hampers ($2,975), Canora Child Center/Nursery School/Kidspace ($2,232), Canora and District Benevolent Fund ($9,900), Canora Golf Course ($1,000), Canora Royal Canadian Legion ($700), Canora Public Library ($1,175), All Aboard Project ($2,000), and miscellaneous children’s sports ($375).

Other out-of-town contributions included: Teachers Quest ($600), (CNIB $3,260), Diabetic Association ($1,875), Melvin Jones Award ($1,000), Eye Bank ($975), Lions Foundation ($2,100), Dog Guides ($1,650), Kidney Foundation ($300), K9 Vision ($500), Other sight related donations ($1,885), Terry Fox Run ($1,100), Fort McMurray Fire ($500), Breast Cancer Foundation ($2,051), SADD ($300), District youth exchange ($375), Prairie Women on Snowmobiles ($2,345)

Lioness club members have always been ready to go to work for a good cause.

Preparing food for the 2019 Picnic in the Park during Canora in Bloom festivities, from left, were: Shawna Leson, Darlene Senkow, Bernice Wilgosh, Gladys Tomski, Cynthia Gazdewich, Julia Westerman, Delores Shukin, Nancy Leson, Cathy Holt and Sharon Ciesielski.

There were 24 charter members inducted during the certification for the Canora Wheatland Lioness Club on May 10, 1986. The executive of the new club, from left, were: (seated) Rhonda Oneschuk (director), Olga Oystryk (director), Sharon Zeeben (director), Carol Wolkowski (secretary), Carla Laevens (treasurer), Holly Masters (president), Dr. Mamin Lee Sing (second vice-president), Victoria Ryczak (Lioness tamer); and Gladys Tomski (tail-twister). The other charter members were: (standing) Margaret White, Linda MacDonald, Laverne Ratushniak, Val Morozoff, Sandra Samuels, Rose Strocen, Jeanette Dmytrowich, Debbie Gullason, Joan Fortin, Sharon Ciesielski, Jean Stankewich, Carol Kenny, Paulette McDonald, Ann Ostafichuk and Rona Seidle. and Relay for Life ($1,539).

“In 2008, the Canora Wheatland Lioness hosted Relay For Life,” said Ciesielski. “This was a community event, well attended and supported.

The community raised $133,000 for Cancer research. In 2011 we hosted a fundraiser night for Prairie Women on Snowmobiles which raised $5,000.00.

“Not all the fundrais-

ing is listed but we estimate that over the years we have raised approximately $250,000, which is only possible through the generosity and support of the community, for which we are truly grateful. Many volunteer hours spent, but we did have fun . That’s the secret of any successful organization – make it fun.”

The final meeting was held May 11, 2021, which

works out to 35 years plus one day after the initial certification meeting in 1986.

The 2021 Canora Wheatland Lioness Members were: Sharon Ciesielski, Lori Dennis, Cynthia Gazdewich, Catherine Holt, Nancy Leson, Shawna Leson, Val Morozoff, Brenda Murray, Darlene Senkow, Delores Shukin, Gladys Tomski, Julia Westerman and Bernice Wilgosh.

Irish cakes help promote Family Resource Centre literacy program Courtesy of Preeceville Progress The Sturgis, Preeceville and Endeavour (SPE) Family Resource Centre provides many different programs throughout the year which are funded by a variety of grants. However, some of the projects require local funding. “One of the fundraisers in the past has been the Irish display at Culture Days in Preeceville,” said Karolyn Kosheluk, SPE Resource Centre co-ordinator.

Culture Days unfortunately did not happen in the fall of 2020. In the spring of 2021, Anna Russell decided to bake the popular Irish cakes that were usually sold as part of the Irish display at Culture Days. She asked for a donation of at least $30 for each cake with the money raised going to the SPE Family Resource Centre programs. Twenty cakes were ordered and over $1,000 was raised thanks to the generosity of people in the area.

This locally raised money allowed the Centre to go forward with an Early Childhood Literacy project.

The project involved giving 20 sets of Disney Learning books to families. These books were accessed from First Book, a non-profit organization that “believes a child’s education is their way out of poverty.”

Every set consisted of six books with each focused

on one of the following themes: Numbers, Letters, Colours, Shapes, Opposites, and Feelings. These books contain learning content that reinforces early numeracy and literacy skills during the preschool years. The books include built-in questions to develop math and literacy concepts, activities to extend the child’s learning, and suggestions to foster basic vocabulary skills and reading.

Local families were chosen based on their connection to the Family Resource Centre through participation in its weekly Early Childhood Literacy program “Drop In And Play” and the periodic book giveaways in the past year. From this pool of families who have expressed interest in literacy and books for their children, names were chosen. Books will be handed out in the next few days.

Along with the books, a literacy bag will be given out which includes items such as pencils or crayons, erasers, and stickers.

“The SPE Family Resource Centre would like to thank Anna Russell for her willing time and effort in creating the cakes, and to the many community members who purchased them and donated generously. It is the support of the community that allows the Family Resource Centre to be active and continue to offer programs and supports for families,” concluded Kosheluk.

Elowyn Laronde, left and her brother Wyllow were presented with a set of six Disney Learning books that the Sturgis, Preeceville and Endeavour (SPE) Family Resource Centre gave away on May 27.

Karolyn Kosheluk, SPE Resource Centre co-ordinator, made the presentation.

Bailey family honoured by Festival

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer The Yorkton Film Festival has presented its 2021 Volunteer Award.

“This honour recognizes an individual or group who have made the Yorkton Film Festival stronger, who inspires us with their excellence and passion to reach our potential,” explained YFF Executive Director Randy Goulden, adding “today we honor and recognize the Bailey Family with the Volunteer Award.”

Goulden said the family has long supported the Festival.

“The support by the Bailey

family goes back to the 1960s, when due to declining support, it looked like the festival might have to disband. But Allan Bailey, who was Mayor of Yorkton at the time, would not see the festival die,” said Goulden.

Bailey, along with his late wife Colleen, can be credited with ‘saving’ the Yorkton Film Festival through the donation of countless hours of work, stated Goulden.

“Today we are proud to have Mr. Bailey bear the title of Festival Ambassador,” she added.

The support simply continued through the years.

“Once the short-term crisis of survival was overcome, the board, under Mr. Bailey’s leadership, implemented fundamental changes to the structure of the festival to ensure its continuation and future success,” said Goulden.

The main change was to make the move to a festival featuring all Canadian content.

Even after Allan’s term with the Board ended, he continued to provide support and guidance provided to the festival up to the present day, said Goulden.

A major contribution he made to the festival was taking

an active role in developing and purchasing the acclaimed Golden Sheaf Awards.

“We have always been able to be assured that the awards would be delivered to us on time and ready to present to the winners of the Golden Sheaf competition thanks to the support of the Bailey family to cover the significant costs associated with shipping the statues from the foundry to Yorkton,” said Goulden.

And it is truly a family contribution, as the next generation of the family, Ray and Crystal, are now strong supporters of the festival.

“When the foundry that produced the GSA statues went out of business in 2019, Crystal worked hard to find another foundry that could fill the void.

With perseverance, Crystal’s research turned up a foundry right here in Saskatchewan, the Julienne Atelier Foundry located in Pense,” said Goulden.

So the award was a deserved one, said Goulden “In recognition of the support and caring of Allan and Colleen and Ray and Crystal Bailey we are very pleased to honour the Bailey Family with the Yorkton Film Festival 2021 Volunteer Award,” she stated.

Seeding nears completion in Sask.

Even with the prolonged rain experienced across the province over the week, producers were still able to seed throughout all regions.

Eighty-six per cent of the crop is now seeded in Saskatchewan, which is ahead of the five-year average (2016-2020) of 77 per cent for this time of year.

Recent rains will greatly improve crop germination and emergence in many parts of the province that were delayed due to dry conditions.

East-Central Saskatchewan: • Crop District 5 – Melville, Yorkton, Cupar, Kamsack, Foam Lake, Preeceville and Kelvington areas • Crop District 6A – Lumsden, Craik, Watrous and Clavet areas Currently, 77 per cent of the crop is seeded in the east-central region.

This is up from 63 per cent last week and above the five-year average (2016-2020) of 62 per cent

for this time of year.

The recent rainfall was not ideal for seeding progress but will help earlier seeded crops emerge and establish.

Most of the region received good amounts rainfall this week.

The Craven area reported the most with 92 mm, the Lipton area reported 91 mm, the Bulyea area reported 85 mm, the Bethune area reported 76 mm and the Rama area reported 63 mm.

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as five per cent surplus, 89 per cent adequate and six per cent short.

Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 77 per cent adequate, 20 per cent short and one per cent very short.

Pasture conditions are rated as zero per cent excellent, 13 per cent good, 28 per cent fair, 43 per cent poor and 16 per cent very poor.

Overall, most of the

crops are at normal stages for this time of year, with some behind due to cool weather conditions.

There was minimal crop damage reported this week.

Most of the damage that was present was due to wind, lack of moisture and light frost.

Producers have been busy seeding, spraying

as wind conditions allow and moving cattle to pasture.

The southwest region is the farthest along with 91 per cent of the crop seeded. Eighty-nine per cent has been seeded in the west-central, 87 per cent seeded in the northwest, 86 per cent seeded in the southeast, 85 per cent seeded in the northeast and lastly, 77

per cent seeded in the east-central region of the province.

Steady rain was experienced this week across the province, especially in the south, which saw some very high rainfalls.

The Limerick area received the most with 116 mm.

The Indian Head area received 108 mm and the Odessa area received 100 mm. The rain will delay seeding for some producers where soils are slow to drain but it is still very welcome to help crop and pasture growth.

Cool, cloudy days and rain showers have helped improve moisture conditions in many parts of the province.

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as six per cent surplus, 80 per cent adequate, 11 per cent short and three per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as four per cent surplus, 66 per cent adequate, 26 per cent short and four per cent

very short. Pasture conditions are rated as zero per cent excellent, 17 per cent good, 39 per cent fair, 34 per cent poor and 10 per cent very poor.

Earlier seeded crops have started to show good emergence, but cool night time temperatures have slowed growth in some areas. In general, crops are normal in development stages for this time of year, but some crops are behind due to an unusually cool spring and limited moisture. Most of the crop damage this week was due to strong winds, light frosts, limited moisture and flea beetles.

Producers have been busy seeding, moving livestock to pasture, calving and spraying pre-and post-emergent herbicides now that weeds are starting to emerge.

Gaga proving school grounds hit

By Calvin Daniels Staff Writer Local students are – well going gaga for Gaga.

At least that is the case at both Yorkdale Central and Columbia schools where gaga pits have been installed in the playgrounds.

Gaga is a game that is believed to have originated in Israel, spreading to Australia, the United States and beyond during the 1970s and 1980s.

Gaga is essentially dodge ball played in a small ring, the gaga pit.

The ball is thrown only underhand, and if the ball hits you on the knee or below, you’re out. Last person in the ring wins. There are a few more rules, but that’s about it.

Jason Gordon, principal at Columbia School said they initially saw that Yorkdale was creating a Gaga pit.

And then they started hearing about the game

from students who had played it at a summer Bible Camp.

“We thought let’s give this a try,” he said. “We saw the idea and jumped on it.”

Gordon said they were actually looking for outdoor activities after a student survey indicated “one thing they wanted was more outdoor activities at school.”

Shaune Beatty, Principal at Yorkdale said they were also hearing from students about the game, when a survey asked “what can happen at the school so that it’s better.”

Admitting that initially he was not aware of what a gaga pit was, Beatty did some online research, and after finding that it was “safe and appropriate,” they decided to build two at the school.

“Within two days the grass was extremely worn out,” he said.

As a game Gaga is something that can be played by virtually all ages, said Gordon, adding in terms of players it is really how many can fit in the pit. They focus on classrooms so that might mean 14, or 25 head into the pit for some fun.

“It gets everybody involved,” he said, adding like most games it gets more competitive “down to the end.”

Beatty said the limited amount of rules is a plus as students can ‘organize’ and run themselves.

Gordon said gaga has been a hit at Columbia School.

“It’s definitely exceeded our expectations,” he said, adding students are already lobbying for a second pit to be built.

It’s the same story at Yorkdale.

“It’s been non-stop use,” said Beatty, adding

Students are loving the new gaga pits. the pits which cost under $1000 are getting more use than play structures costing 13 or 14K.

Even after school the pits are being used.

Beatty said one weekend he and his family

stopped in to try the game themselves and ended up playing for more than two hours.

Eaglestone restructures in effort to cut costs and reduce debt Courtesy of Kamsack Times Cost cutting measures are currently underway at the Eaglestone Lodge in Kamsack.

The non-profit corporation that provides accommodation, meals and care to elderly residents in Kamsack has been forced to reduce its operating expenses.

According to Colleen Pennell, newly elected president of the Eaglestone Lodge board of directors, the facility has been losing more than $15,000 per month.

Cost cutting measures include replacing the charge nurse position with a full-time personal care aide manager, replacing the director of operations position with an office manager, and

reducing the hours of the maintenance position.

It was recently announced that Karen Bodnaryk will be stepping in as Eaglestone’s new office manager.

Bodnaryk has over 20 years of experience in bookkeeping, payroll and other office skills. A previous employee at Nykolaishen Farm Equipment in Kamsack, Bodnaryk has also been very active in the community with the Kamsack Air Cadets. The board is grateful that Bodnaryk has come out of retirement to help Eaglestone and reports that she will be working flexible hours.

Stepping into the new role of special care aide manager is Kathy Wishnevetski, who has worked at Eaglestone for

the past four years.

Wishnevetski will work closely with the Assiniboine Valley Medical Center, along with four local doctors who are available to visit Eaglestone Lodge on a regular basis.

Mike Syvret works full-time as the maintenance person at Victoria School in Kamsack, but because the school requires him to work a split shift, he is available to provide maintenance services at Eaglestone at least two hours per day Monday to Friday. Syvret is a qualified contractor with boiler papers and other necessary certificates who will check boilers and provide ongoing maintenance duties. With the previous maintenance position being full-time (40 hours per week, with benefits) the restructuring of this position will result in a substantial reduction in expenses.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) has promised Eaglestone that home care nurses will come to the facility as directed by doctors to provide specialized care such as injections. The home care nurses will also train special care aides to do such things

Karen Bodnaryk has come back from retirement to aid Kamsack’s Eaglestone Lodge in the new office manager position as part of a restructuring plan.

Eaglestone Lodge in Kamsack has been forced to reduce operating expenses. as dispense medication and perform specialized care procedures. There are currently two staff members at Eaglestone who are trained to dispense medication, but at least one more person requires home care nurse training for this task.

The board of directors has reported that there are currently 20 full-care residents at Eaglestone, despite the

capacity for 30 beds.

Since virtually all of the revenue required in building maintenance, paying staff, and paying for groceries comes from residency fees, the board of Eaglestone Lodge is currently appealing to wealthy people to make donations to tide them over until more people can move in to the facility. As lodge residents become older and their health deteriorates, they

are re-assessed by SHA. Once residents have reached level three, they are moved to “long term care” also known as the Kamsack Nursing Home.

The Eaglestone board has announced that it will soon be launching a marketing effort to reach full occupancy at the lodge and would like to have a waiting list. The organization is planning an open house and barbecue in July.
