Environment Minister Dustin Duncan announced last week at the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation convention in Weyburn that annual lease fees for remote recreation properties on Crown land will be frozen at $888, with a review to be conducted in five years. A proposal introduced in 2019 – which generated considerable public response – would have seen annual Crown land lease fees increase to $1,500 over four years. However, today’s decision means that lessees will see no movement in their yearly fees before 2025. “After listening to the concerns of cabin owners on Crown land about the proposed increase, the Government of Saskatchewan is responding with a fair and respect- ful approach to fees for remote rec- reation leases,” Duncan said. “We will review the fee structure in five years to ensure that the people of Saskatchewan are getting fair value for these properties.” Provincial lease fee rates were ini- tially revised because they had not been reviewed since 2004, and did not reflect fair market values. The government charges rates that pro- vide a fair return to the province for the private use of public lands and resources. There are 937 remote recreational cabins and 15 remote residential sites on Crown resource land, pri- marily located in the north. Prior to the changes, the average recre- ational cabin site paid $287 per year. ........ ...Your.Daily.Fix...

A husband and wife were driving down a country lane on their way to visit some friends. They came to a muddy patch in the road and the car became bogged. After a few minutes of trying to get the car out by them-selves, they saw a young farmer coming down the lane, driving some oxen before him.
The farmer stopped when he saw the couple in trouble and offered to pull the car out of the mud for $50. The husband accepted and minutes later the car was free. The farmer turned to the husband and said, “You know, you’re the tenth car I’ve helped out of the mud today.”
The husband looks around at the fields incredulously and asks the farmer, “When do you have time to plough your land? At night?”
“No,” the young farmer replied seriously, “Night is when I put the water in the hole.”

A young woman was preparing a ham dinner. After she cut off the end of the ham, she placed it in a pan for baking.
Her friend asked her,Why did you cut off the end of the ham?
And she replied, I really don’t know but my mother always did, so I thought you were supposed to.
Later when talking to her mother she asked her why she cut off the end of the ham before baking it, and her mother replied, I really don’t know, but that’s the way my mom always did it.
A few weeks later while visiting her grandmother, the young woman asked, Grandma, why is it that you cut off the end of a ham before you bake it?
Her grandmother replied, Well dear, otherwise it would never fit into my baking pan.

Boating in the fall offers colourful vistas, quiet anchorages and excellent fishing but it is not without its challenges that necessitate self-sufficiency and taking some addition-al precautions to keep from running into trouble. The Canadian Safe Boating Council (CSBC) and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation want to remind all boaters en-joying the fall season on the water to follow these tips to ensure that their excursions are both safe and enjoyable. Before heading out, be sure to check the weather forecast. The mixing of warm and cold air can quickly spawn high winds and waves making it treacherous for small boats. Fog, too, is an issue at this time of year making visibility difficult. Should boaters find themselves in a fog bank, they should proceed slowly and sound their horn at regular intervals to alert other boat-ers of their presence. Well into October, daytime temperatures can occasionally be balmy but dressing for the water temperature will help slow the onset of hypothermia should the unexpect-ed happen and the boater find himself in the water. Accidental cold water immer-sion can be shocking, but they shouldn’t panic. It may take a minute or so to get their breathing under control after the initial shock but they will have at least 10-

Three old men are sitting on the porch of a retirement home. The first says, “Fellas, I got real problems. I’m seventy years old. Every morning at seven o’clock I get up and I try to urinate. All day long I try to urinate. They give me all kinds of medicine but nothing helps.”The second old man says, “You think you have problems. I’m eighty years old. Every morning at 8:00 I get up and try to move my bowels. I try all day long. They give me all kinds of stuff but nothing helps.”Finally the third old man speaks up, “Fellas: I’m ninety years old. Every morning at 7:00 sharp I urinate. Every morning at 8:00 I move my bowels. Every morning at 9:00 sharp I wake up.”
Last week Environment Minister Dustin Duncan intro-duced the Government of Saskatchewan’s new Aquatic Inva-sive Species Strategy during an address to the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation’s (SWF) annual convention in Weyburn. The new framework is designed to help the province prevent, address and manage aquatic invasive species (AIS) threats.The ministry and the SWF are partners on the province’s AIS Task Force – which focuses on additional education and monitoring activities – along with other government agen-cies, conservation groups, non-government organizations and universities. “This strategy emphasizes the need for collaboration and co-ordination with provincial and federal government agencies, non-government organizations and neighbouring jurisdictions to prevent the introduction and spread of high-risk aquatic invasive species,” Duncan said. AIS, such as zebra and quagga mussels, threaten lakes and rivers in Western Canada. They can severely affect aquatic habitat, fisheries, valuable recreational resources and im-portant infrastructure for irrigation, power generation and municipal water supplies. In recent years, the ministry has significantly increased its AIS prevention efforts, with a primary focus on education and awareness. “We recently announced that no invasive mussels had been detected in Saskatchewan waters in 2019,” Duncan said. “That is a positive step, and it speaks to the approach we’ve been taking in Saskatchewan. But we know more work needs to be done, and that diligence on this front needs to be unrelenting for us to remain free from this threat.” Saskatchewan also partners with the Canada Border Services Agency and other provincial and territorial gov-ernments to co-ordinate prevention efforts across Western Canada. The province’s new AIS Strategy, as well as further information about AIS and fishing, is available online at https://www.saskatchewan.ca/residents/environment-pub-lic-health-and-safety/wildlife-issues/invasive-species/aquat-ic-invasive-species-prevention-program.
