Two parties attend All Candidates Forum By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer
It was an All Candidates Forum, but it didn’t have all the candidates. Of the four men that people in Yorkton can vote for on April 4, only two were present at the forum itself, Greg Ottenbreit with the Sask Party and Aaron C. Sinclair with the Liberals. As the incumbent candidate, Ottenbreit had a tendency to go back to the Sask Party government’s record when it came to the different questions raised through the forum. A question raised about how the province plans to help the city with Broadway rebuilding pointed to existing roadways programs the city can use as well as additional revenue sharing, while a question on rising rent had Ottenbreit point to programs with subsidized housing as well as handling disability income differently, taking it out of social assistance.
That’s part of their strategy for the election and into the future if they receive a renewed mandate, Ottenbreit says, keeping on the track that they have been on for the past eight years. “We’re going to continue on with the work we have done, and supplement it in areas where we know there are needs. You won’t see a lot of huge spending promise, but a lot of continued work based on our past record.” While the NDP was not present at the forum, Ottenbreit did use them as a foil on several occasions, including knocking their record with hospital closure when asked about the potential of a new health care facility in the city. When asked about the absent candidates, Ottenbreit says they plan to run a strong and active campaign whether or not other parties do the same. The most frequent response from Sinclair
was a promise to do more research into different issues, especially when it came to audience questions. The admission that more research needed to be done followed questions about issues surrounding seniors, increasing rent costs, ways to hold the line on medication costs, and the Trans Pacific Partnership. Sinclair did have a clear idea of how to spur economic growth, however, promoting a return of the film tax credit as well as getting the province’s different First Nations part of pipeline and refinery growth in the province, along with heavy infrastructure investment. The first time candidate says it was a great opportunity to get out in front of the public and get people to know him and his party. He says the questions were diverse and interesting. While doing the campaign largely by himself, he says running for

Movement the focus of 210.9 Seconds By DEVIN WILGER N-R Writer What can happen in 210.9 seconds? The newest exhibition at the Godfrey Dean, 210.9 Seconds, shows a range of images depicting colour and motion through long exposures, from 0.25 seconds to 87 seconds in this show, with 12 photographers presenting their take on the idea. Lori Maxim is a photographer and teacher, formerly with SIAST and now independent. She did the project with her higher level students, says it was a long process to decide what the theme of the exhibition was going to be. Once they did, the students had a large number of approaches to take. “The requirements were that it had to have light, colour and motion through long exposures. A lot of the artists were
exploring different ways they could achieve this, the hardest part was trying to make the exhibition cohesive.” Artist Meagan Rae says it was an experimental project for the group, with many of them doing a long exposure for the first time. Given that the theme is relatively broad, the photographers were able to explore different ways of achieving the images, and the diversity of the results was partially due to the different approaches people took with their work. “It’s everyone’s take on what long exposure is. There were a few different techniques we used, whether it was a lens pull, physically moving the camera, or your subject moving,” Rae says. The experimental nature of the project also allowed people to create work which was very different from what they
are used to. Donna McIntosh has been in the industry for 30 years, but her regular work is largely portraits, which is very different from the art in the show. “This allowed me to enhance my skills, broaden my horizons and to become a part of a group like this was wonderful because I got to meet new people, make new friends, and learn different aspects of photography.” McIntosh says that participating in the project has meant that she sees things around her in a different light, noting that driving from Regina had her seeing the potential in scenery she might otherwise ignore. “That has really charged me over the past couple of years, to go out and do different things.” The goal was also to do a minimal amount of Photoshop, being “purists in the camera” says

“We were priding ourselves on shooting technically correct in the camera and not having to do any post-production.” The name of the show itself is a reflection of the
work. Between all of the work shown, the shutter was open a total of 210.9 seconds. 210.9 Seconds runs until April 17 at the Godfrey Dean Art Gallery.
Samuel Deason brings solo piano to Yorkton
The piano is an instrument that can give you many sounds, moods and styles of music. Saskatoon concert pianist Samuel Deason is coming to Yorkton for a solo performance, part of the Stars for Saskatchewan series. Solo piano is an intimate concert setting, Deason says, as there is just him and the piano performing for the crowd, but he says he’s bringing a wide range of sounds and moods to that setting. “The music is really all over the place, from joyous, jubilant sounds, to more introspective, darker music to virtuosic extroverted music with explosions and things like that. I think it’s going to be a lot of fun.” The variety of music means that Deason is going to perform both well known pieces as well as more obscure composers. He says part of the goal is for it to be an evening of discovery for the audience. “I want to do things that the audience will like interesting and deeply rewarding to listen to... There’s no fun, in my opinion, in going to a concert where you’ve heard every single musical selection, because then it becomes predictable. But at the same time, there’s a reason why some of the world’s greatest music is performed repeatedly, because it’s good. I’m trying to craft the right balance and at the end of the day I just want the music selections to be captivating and interesting for everyone, regardless if they have a PhD in music or are going to a piano recital for the first time.” While the performance is one man and an instrument, Deason believes that while the piano is a versatile instrument which can do many things, he says his job is to transcend the limitations of the instrument. “The biggest weakness of the instrument is that it’s made of wood and iron and it’s a very up and down instrument... Something like the human voice is the most natural instrument
in the world, you sing and music comes out naturally. What a pianist spends most of their life doing is trying to figure out ways to make a piano sound not like a piano. I think a piano sounds pretty boring, but it’s the music
which really captivates.” The life of a pianist involves doing many different things, and Deason is no exception, having performed with symphony orchestras as well as solo recitals like the one in Yorkton. He admits that
with a symphony it can be easier, since it’s a more rehearsed environment with support from other musicians, but he also appreciates the freedom of a solo performance. “What I like the most about solo playing is that, within the confines of good taste, one can do whatever they want. If there’s a particular sound, a particular voice I play and when I hear it in the moment, something very spontane-
ous can happen.” Deason is recently back from the prestigious Hastings International Piano Competition. The competition was in an elimination format, with pianists taken out in each round, and Deason made it through all the rounds to take second prize. “I didn’t really expect to get anything, I went there to play because I like to play... There was a performance Royal Philharmonic
Concert Orchestra, and that was a blast.” Deason, originally from Saskatoon, says that he tries to come back to the province as much as possible, whether it’s to perform, teach, or judge music competitions. Samuel Deason will be in Yorkton on March 31 at the Anne Portnuff Theatre as part of the Stars for Saskatchewan series. Tickets are available at the Arts Council office.

Scrutiny lacks perspective It is hard to imagine anything four NDP candidates did to get themselves turfed from the party’s ticket in the provincial election could make them any more unelectable than some other people who routinely get elected and reelected by voters. Rob Ford, may he rest in peace, immediately comes to mind as the crack-smoking mayor who made Canada’s greatest city into a global laughing stock yet still managed to get back on City Council after dropping out of the mayor’s race due to health concerns that ultimately manifested in his untimely death on Tuesday. For heaven’s sake, Donald Trump, who never thought a reprehensible thing he wouldn’t say publicly or concocted a lie baldfaced enough that he wouldn’t tell it, is on the verge of winning the Republican nomination for president of the United States. Back to the Saskatchewan election, there is no question Clayton Wilson’s and Mark Jeworski’s social media posts were crude and insensitive, but they pale in comparison to some of the behaviour that does not seem to make others unelectable. Whatever it was Terry Bell and Cameron Robock said must have been equally egregious to NDP leader Cam Broten to have him pull the plug on them, but again, it is hard to imagine anything they could have said being worse than some of the things successful candidates are getting a pass on. It is also very interesting to note that making unsavoury comments is cause for dismissal, but apparently having a criminal record is not. Three Sask Party candidates—Scott Moe (Shellbrook-Rosthern), Terry Dennis (Canora Pelly) and Eric Olauson (SaskatoonUniversity)—have DUI convictions. So do two NDP candidates, Dwayne Lasas (Meadow Lake) and Lyle Whitefish (Saskatchewan Rivers). None of these five have been removed from their parties’ slates. One could certainly argue that attitudes revealed by candid comments or social media posts speak more to the core fitness of candidates for public office than a one-time lapse of judgment evidenced by a drunk driving conviction. Then again, Dennis and Olauson are repeat DUI offenders with two convictions apiece. And honestly, have we perhaps become a bit too hypersensitive to comments made in the heat of the moment. After all, candidates are human beings with all the inherent emotional baggage that sometimes boils over, but do not necessarily make them bad people. Perhaps we should applaud the high standards of leaders who make the tough calls to cut candidates loose in the midst of election campaigns. On the other hand, should it not be up to the voters to decide? Are the candidates not ultimately accountable to us, not their parties? The answer to those questions seems to be yes when it comes to DUI, but no for some other non-criminal transgressions. Of course, the disenfranchised candidates are not prevented from running for election, they are merely unwelcome in NDP ranks. It is a brave new world we live in, one in which scrutiny of politicians is instensive, but unbalanced, and democracy may be poorly served. On the one hand, the more outrageous and politically incorrect conservative politicians such as The Donald and Mayor McCrack are, the more successful they seem to become. On the other side of the coin, prospective progressive leaders can barely have an impure thought without being castigated into ignominious political oblivion. That does not bode well for effective and respectful government. What the electorate appears to be lacking at the moment is perspective. While we nitpick some candidates’ minor foibles and completely ignore others’ glaring defects, we may be obscuring some important underlying issues such as the government’s shady land deals and poor economic foresight and the opposition’s lack of efficacy in holding the ruling party to account.
On tattoos and social media Every generation of parents has something they can warn their kids about, which they claim will limit their opportunities in the future. People were once warned that visible tattoos would limit the jobs they could get, but now that everyone and their dog has a tattoo the stigma behind getting one is fading from memory. But now, we’ve got a new warning for the parents of the world, they have to warn their children about the dangers of saying stupid things on social media. Look at the provincial election, where the NDP has already been forced to drop four candidates thanks to posts from the past. The recent federal election also had bad social media moves kicking candidates out of different parties. Ranting and raving within the confines of Facebook and Twitter has caused people to lose their jobs before, and will long into the future. In some ways, tattoos and social media do have some things in common. Both are permanent, you’re going to have a great deal of difficulty getting rid of a bad tattoo, and getting rid of a bad social media post is arguably even harder, since you don’t know who has evidence of its existence archived. When done properly, a good tattoo will make you look better, make you happier, make a statement to the world that you want to make and want people to notice. Same deal with a social media post, a good one is also a statement to the world, one that sometimes can get a bunch of friends and strangers to like you and find you more interesting. In the same way, a bad tattoo will make you look stupid, a bad social media post does exactly the same thing. The difference is that you have a tattoo artist who acts as an intermediary, someone who might tell you when the tattoo you’re considering might be a bad idea, or in a bad place, or tell you that you’re too drunk to make this decision and maybe should cool off until you’re sober. The number of bad tattoos out there suggests not every artist does this job effectively, but it’s rare to see a great artist give a tattoo someone regrets later. Social media, by contrast, has nobody there to make sure you’re certain. The ease of social media is arguably the reason why it’s so dangerous for the prospective careers of our future politicians. The space between thought and post is seconds, and now people are usually always within arm’s length of a device that they can use to spread their thoughts to the world. Nobody has any incentive to stop that either, a brief delay programmed in for sober second thoughts could potentially get rid of a lot of posts made in anger, but when part of the appeal of a service is instant communication it’s never going to be implemented. The easiest rule of thumb is to follow the old
Things I do with words... Column Devin Wilger Bambi rule that if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything, but it’s rare to see anyone follow that, and I’ll admit to making posts in anger. Sure, my frustration with billing with certain crown corporations or people in beige trucks who somehow don’t notice bright red hatchbacks aren’t exactly positive posts, but they’re also not something that could lead to the end of a career. Of course, who knows what is in my history that could be taken out of context. The thing is that with social media it’s more likely people will say something stupid because it’s easy, and there’s nobody else there. In reality, being surrounded by people gives you the advantage of social cues to tell you when you’re saying something that others might not find appropriate, while you don’t get that on social media until the comment is out in the wild, garnering disapproval. It’s just a faceless piece of glass used to project thoughts into the wild without thought of reprisal or any indication that you might be doing something stupid. And it’s there permanently, rather than a statement that dissolves into the wind as the people who were present slowly forget it. The important thing is this isn’t going away any time soon. Social media is ubiquitous, as is saying dumb things on it. Even as the layers of anonymity get stripped away and it becomes an increasingly large part of the public record, people still treat social media as something that is somewhat private and quickly forgotten. People aren’t used to the idea that everything they say on it is archived and easy to see, even by people they don’t know and might not particularly like them. Given the amount of political candidates getting the dregs of their Facebook and Twitter accounts getting brought up from years past, it’s clear that people have not quite adjusted to the idea that it’s possible to find all the things they’ve said and put them under scrutiny. Even if everyone says something they regret on social media, it’s still something that can be used against them in the future. The lesson is to treat social media posts like tattoos, only do it if you’re certain that it’s something you want on you forever, and never do it drunk.

Buying your first telescope – Part One
Note to those with good memories: this topic originally appeared in The News Review back in 2009. It’s worth repeating as long as there are firsttime telescope shoppers. Hundreds of telescopes are purchased in this country every year, Christmas being a particularly popular time. Most are used once or twice, and then left to gather dust in a corner of the basement until the next garage sale. The reason is one of frustration. People, especially young people, give up trying to see something through a
poorly constructed piece of equipment that even a professional couldn’t use. If you are new to astronomy and telescopes, the best tip I can give you would be to seek advice from a local astronomy group or experienced amateur astronomer. Second best would be to research the topic at your local library or on the internet. You absolutely must do one or the other to avoid the common pitfalls. Pitfall number one: beware the department store telescope. Among other things, the lenses
The Universe from your own back yard by Jim Huziak jim@darkskies.ca. are often plastic instead of glass, and the tripods are almost always too flimsy. Telescopes are precision instruments; those that most general retailers carry are toys. Purchase your telescope only from companies for whom telescopes form a major part of their business. Trust
to the editor
me on this one. Secondly, Christmas is among the worst of times to buy a telescope unless you are already very familiar with them. It’s too cold in winter to spend any time standing around learning how to use one; interest wanes quickly as frostbite sets

in. First scopes require warm weather and mosquito repellent. Finally, if you are unsure if this is a genuine or a passing interest, then you might want to reconsider getting a telescope quite yet. The reason is that you rarely get anything remotely useable for less than three hundred dollars. An alternative might instead be a name-brand pair of 7x50 or 10x50 binoculars for under a hundred bucks. The night sky is full of targets suitable for binocular viewing, and, bonus... things are easier
to see with two eyes rather than just one. Even if you eventually do get a telescope, the binoculars will compliment your scope as the ultimate ‘quick-look’ tool. I own five pairs of binoculars (no idea how that happened), and I use them more than I use my telescopes. This way, if the interest wanes, binoculars are great for bird watching and at Rider games. Next week, I will finish this two part series with a summary of what to look for if you’ve decided a telescope is in your future.

Your letter of the Week Tax policy obstructs growth of Canadian ‘knowledge-based’ economy To the Editor: Governments across the country, both federal and provincial, want Canada to become a knowledge-based economy that attracts and retains the world’s brightest and most talented while ensuring all Canadians realize their full potential. For example, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in his recent Davos speech at the World Economic Forum, tried to convey a vision for Canada that depicts the country not simply as a resource-rich nation but a leader in the so-called knowledge-based economy. In Ontario, Kathleen Wynne’s government has set out a plan to ensure the province “has the skilled and productive workforce it needs to meet the demands of the 21st century.” In fact, Premier Wynne recently established an expert panel to develop a “highly skilled workforce strategy.” No doubt, Prime Minister Trudeau and Premier Wynne’s goals are laudable. The problem, however, is that their governments are enacting policies that directly counter this rhetoric. Nowhere is this clearer than on personal income
tax policy, a key pillar of Canada’s overall economic policy climate. With a global market for highly mobile talent, high personal income tax rates make it harder for a country to attract and retain skilled workers, entrepreneurs and investment. It’s therefore discouraging that Canadian governments have made our personal income tax system markedly less competitive in recent years. Take the Trudeau government’s recent change that added a new income tax bracket, raising the federal top tax rate from 29 to 33 per cent. This four percentage point increase must be placed within the context of several provinces having already raised their own top tax rates in recent years. For instance, Ontario increased its top provincial tax rate from 17.4 to 20.5 per cent, while Alberta increased its top rate from 10 to 15 per cent. Consequently, in Ontario, the top combined federal-provincial personal income tax rate is now 53.5 per cent. This means that Canadians in this province and the relevant tax bracket can lose more than 50 cents of every extra dollar they earn in labour income to taxes. In fact, the
top combined federal-provincial personal income tax rate is now above 50 per cent in six of the 10 provinces. Even before the recent tax hikes came into effect, Canada’s top personal income tax rates compared unfavourably to those in the United States and other industrialized countries. The increases since 2009 have simply made things worse. Canada’s top combined personal income tax rates are now among the highest in the industrialized world. In 2014, the latest year of available international data, Canada had the 13th-highest combined top tax rate out of 34 countries (using Ontario’s provincial rate). The new 2016 Canadian top tax rate (53.5 per cent) is sixth highest relative to the 2014 international rates and second highest among G7 countries, behind only France. The fact that Canada’s top tax rates are often applied to lower levels of income than in other countries further erodes our tax competiveness. A robust body of research shows that a competitive personal income tax regime is an important way governments can help attract, retain and develop a skilled workforce. After all, high and increasing
personal tax rates reduce the reward of earning more income and discourage people from engaging in productive economic activity (working hard, expanding skills, investing and being entrepreneurial), ultimately hindering economic growth and prosperity. There’s general agreement in the economic literature on this point. Politicians can continue speaking about the importance of building a highly skilled workforce, but talk is cheap and it won’t do much to actually achieve this important goal. Governments across the country must understand that higher personal income tax rates work counter to the objective of attracting, retaining and developing skilled labour.

Welcome to Nighthawks Ultimate By now readers will know I like many sports that are not well hockey and baseball. Getting off the beaten path of popularity is a good thing in my mind. So when I discovered professional ultimate games at www.YouTube. com I was intrigued. A couple of game views, and I was hooked. Not sure what ultimate is; Wikipedia provides a basic description. “Ultimate, originally known as ultimate frisbee, is a non-contact team sport played with a flying disc. Points are scored by passing the disc to a teammate in the opposing end zone. Other basic rules are that players must not take steps while holding the disc, and interceptions, incomplete passes, and passes out of bounds are turnovers … “In 2012 there were 5.1 million ultimate players in the United States. Ultimate is played across
Sports View From the Couch by Calvin Daniels the world in pickup games and by recreational, school, club, professional, and national teams at various age levels and with open, women’s, and mixed divisions.” And that brings me to the professional game, and today more specifically MLU. “Major League Ultimate (MLU) was formed in 2013 after the Philadelphia Spinners and their owner Jeff Snader left the AUDL due to differences in how the league should be structured. The MLU is centrally organized which provides consistent quality and branding among its eight teams.
The league has four teams in each division split between both the East and West coast. The MLU has broadcast weekly games on YouTube and in 2016 will create cross-divisional match-ups for the first time during the regular season.” Which brings me to the Vancouver Nighthawks, and veteran player Erik Hunter, who was good enough to agree to an interview on the sport, MLU, and his own career. “I was introduced to Ultimate by my science teacher, Mr. Leeson, in high school. A couple of my friends joined the team and I saw it as a great way
to cross train for hockey in the summer months,” said Hunter when asked about his own start in the sport. “I got hooked on ultimate because of the level I knew I could compete at it. It was very accessible and the people in it made me want to stay. It was more of a community than the large group of mostly strangers who I played hockey with. “I am a competitive person and to have an outlet like ultimate where I can get to compete every week is something very appealing to me. When it comes to the pro leagues it just seemed like the smart choice. It is ultimate that doesn’t cost me anything, it is competitive, and I play a game almost every week for a few months. The format of practicing something during the week and then playing a game to test it, has also been one of the best ways for me as a player to get better.”
So what skills make a good ultimate player? “Physically I would say to be an ultimate player you need speed, endurance, good hops and accuracy,” offers Hunter. “Mentally I would say that you need competitiveness, fortitude, a sense of community and honour. We value what the community refers to as ‘spirit
of the game’ very much. Most of the time our sport is self-officiated. And even when it isn’t (there are officials in MLU), there are systems in place for us to keep it fair if we feel something was missed or unfairly served. But to me when it comes down to it this is honour.”

ULTIMATE Cont.’ from Page 6A
While many locally may not be aware of ultimate as a pro sport, MLU is one of two professional leagues, and the one Hunter chose to play in. “I signed with the MLU this year (Vancouver), because I wanted to compete,” he said. “I think the strength of this league is that it knows what it is and it still strives to be more. I am always very impressed at how well things are working, even four years into the leagues existence.” While only eight teams in the MLU at present, Hunter said that could change. “I could definitely see the MLU expanding and I think that when the league is ready it definitely should do so,” he said. “As for cities in Canada, there are some geographical issues there. The most logical choice would be Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa. Lots of players and easy to get to but they all already have AUDL (America Ultimate Disc League) teams in them. “The market that is yet untapped would be Winnipeg. Perennially a high competitor at Canadian Ultimate Championships, this city has a wealth of talent but no team. They are not in the easiest place to get to however so it would mean a flight every game. So cost would be a large factor.” So how close to mainstream sport channel exposure is the MLU? “I think for Ultimate to become popular enough to be considered on those levels ever you need to have two things,” he said; “exposure at the highest level and player involvement at the lowest level. “If the sport can get into
the Olympics it would be a huge stepping stone to being seen as a more legitimate sport and would garner more attention. “If, as players, we involve ourselves in showing the game to younger people we will grow the sport as well. I feel a kid growing up playing and liking ultimate is more likely to play and watch it as an adult.” In terms of Hunter’s own career, he has been a Nighthawk from day one. “I have played pro ultimate for three seasons and am going into my fourth,” he related. “I have always played in Vancouver and it makes sense as I live here and there are two teams, so why go elsewhere to play. It is a great city to play ultimate in. You can train year round and the community is very strong. “I started playing in my first season with the Vancouver Nighthawks in their inaugural season. It was a great experience. I remember being nervous at the first game, even though I had played in front of crowds before somehow this was different. By the end of the season I was finding a great stride however. I had come to love how functional it was to practice a skill and then apply it to a strong opponent that very week. “And to be able to look back at the game and analyze your play is invaluable. I am really excited for this year as our team is going to be fairly young. There will be a lot of opportunity for those guys to step up in big game scenarios and show what they have.” And the step to pro ultimate was a big one, but enjoyable as well, said Hunter. “Like I said I was really nervous about my first
game. I liked the experience and it seemed like playing hockey in the sense that there wasn’t any self-officiating anymore,” he said. “Sometime the ref would get a call wrong or miss one but that is the nature of an officiated game. It was very freeing to not have to worry about making a call or count stalls but to just play. I remember how short it felt as well. We usually play two or three day tournaments with four games a day usually. So to travel to Seattle and only play one game felt odd.” As for a career highlight Hunter said, it was “with the Nighthawks would have to be a game we played against the San Francisco Dogfish. I got a couple defensive blocks and one of them was what ultimate players call “double happiness” which means I got a block and then proceeded to also score in the same point.” The 2016 MLU season kicks off April 9, and the Nighthawks will start on the road in San Francisco. Hunter said it will be an interesting season for Vancouver, a team with some newer faces. “As I said before we are going to be a young team this year,” he said. “I think this makes us very strong and almost impossible to predict early in the season. Fans are going to get to see some very athletic plays out of this group. The speed of the game will definitely be something to see.” Of course divisional wins are a must. “There are only three other teams in our division,” said Hunter. “So realistically we have to have a good record against them all to fin-

ish at the top. But I would say that the team to beat at this point would be the Portland Stags. They are a formidable team with most of the club team Rhino playing for them, they went 9 - 1 last season. “Now like I said there are other teams and the Seattle Rainmakers beat them in the playoffs so that is something to think about. “And San Francisco is an ultimate hot bed with some of the best teams coming out of it for years. So they will always be a force. “Basically I’m going to be watching a lot of game tape.” Ultimately the key will be desire, said Hunter. “I think the key for us to be at the top of the division will be hard work and a desire to win,” he said. “I don’t think any of these teams are unbeatable, they are very good however and we will not be able to sit back and get a win off of talent alone.

Preventing damping off of seedlings There is no cure, only prevention. Prevention starts with using clean containers and tools. If you’ve had damping off problems in the past, start with new containers. If reusing containers, scrub debris off with soap and water and/ or run through the dishwasher. Then soak them in a weak bleach (100 mL/1 L water) or hydrogen peroxide (10 mL of 3%/1 L water) solution for 20 minutes, rinse, then air dry. Use sterile seedling mix. Do not use anything that contains garden soil. First, it is a potential source of damping off fungi (as is garden compost). Second, it holds on to too much water when in pots, creating an ideal environment for fungal development. Vigorous seedlings are less susceptible to damping off, so fresh seed is best. Warm conditions will accelerate seedling growth and development, putting them past the susceptible stage quickly. Use bottom heat (with seedling heating pads) and shallow containers to speed this process up. Bright light will prevent weak, spindly seedlings from developing. Also, give seedlings lots of room.
This may mean removing or thinning out excess number to give the remaining seedlings access to sufficient light, space and water to maximize growth rate. This also reduces the relative humidity surrounding the plants, reducing the optimal environmental conditions for fungal development. Maintain even soil moisture – never too wet nor too dry. Water from below by soaking pot/seedling tray in a shallow container filled with water for 15 minutes. Remove and allow pots to drain completely. Water only when the top surface is dry to the touch. If using a cover to maintain high humidity conditions for small, shallow-planted seed, remove shortly after seedling emergence. There are no registered fungicides to control damping off for home gardeners. There are a few home remedies you can try but this author offers no guarantees: - After seeding, sprinkle the surface with a thin layer of coarse sand or small grit. - Apply a one-time dusting of cinnamon or charcoal dust after seeding. - Water with a mild chamomile tea solution (30 – 60 mL of strong tea/1 L
CAA safe driving advice
CAA Saskatchewan has safe driving tips for motorists travelling during the approaching Easter holiday and spring break. “Ensuring your vehicle is in good operating condition and obeying the speed limits are just of few tips to help with driver safety,” said Christine Niemczyk, Director of Communications with CAA Saskatchewan. Here are a few more safe driving tips: • Check weather and road conditions, to and from the destination. • Travel with a full tank of fuel and properly inflated tires (including the spare tire) to help with fuel efficiency. • Check your vehicle’s belts and hoses. Also check the brakes, fluid levels and battery. Today’s vehicles have more electrical demands than ever and batteries play an essential role
in meeting those demands. • Ensure all occupants buckle up and that children are properly secured in their car or booster seats. • Pack an emergency vehicle kit (flashlight, booster cables, first-aid kit, flares, drinking water, non-perishable food, mobile phone with batteries and charger for emergency calls, etc.). • Slow to 60 km/h on Saskatchewan highways when passing tow truck operators assisting other motorists. Failing to do so is not only unsafe, but could also cost you a fine. • Eliminate driver distractions and remember all Canadian provinces have banned the use of hand-held communications devices behind the wheel. It’s unsafe and strict penalties can also be applied. Drive now, text later. • Motorists – refer to
maps or make phone calls before you drive, or pull over to a safe area away from traffic. Appoint one of your passengers as the communications buddy to manage navigation and mobile phone use. • Check out gas prices. caa.ca for the lowest gas prices in Saskatchewan communities as well as in other provinces. • Remain focused and attentive. Maintain a positive attitude. Road rage or negative driving habits impact everyone. • Please don’t drink and drive. Appoint a designated driver. For automotive help, visit the CAA Regina Car Care Centre or a CAA Approved Auto Repair Service facility. Additional driving tips are available at caask.ca/ driversafety. CAA Roadside Assistance is available 24/7, 365 days a year.

You’re excited for spring to arrive. And you’re a DIYer. So you start seeds now instead of buying transplants in May to save some money and to have more choice of plants and varieties. What could be simpler? Put soil in a pot, plant some seed, cover with more soil and add water. Then wait for the miracle of germination. But then shortly after the seeds sprout, they all fall over. Dead. The promise of spring joy is crushed. What happened? Damping off happened. Damping off is a disease caused by one of several different soil fungal organisms. Specific symptoms vary depending on the fungus, but essentially, emerging seedlings are attacked at or below the soil surface causing them to keel over. Damping off fungi are found naturally everywhere in the environment – living in soil and on decaying plant material, and they can be spread by water and in the air. Fungal spores can even survive dormant on the seed itself, waiting for ideal conditions to come alive. One thing many of the damping off fungi have in common is their ideal growing conditions: cool, dark and wet.
