Our story tonight is called Chef and Sycamore, and it's the second part of last week's story called Pickle Season. It's a story about an afternoon in the kitchens at the Inn as jars of pickles are lowered into the canner. It's also about sheets of labels ready to add to the jars, the view of the hammocks in the side yard and a kitty waiting not-so-patiently to play.    We give to a different charity each week and this week we are giving to Project Lifesaver.

Chatham-Kent police are promising to keep a close eye on a magic mushroom shop in Chatham even after it moved to a new location in the city. Project Lifesaver uses state-of-the-art technology and community partnerships to help make sure vulnerable people in the community are safe and secure. The Bank of Canada's interest rate has dropped again. U.S. President Joe Biden is expected to address the American people tonight from the Oval Office. Bothwell's Nick Wammes will be cycling in his second Olympic games in Paris.

It's a Thursday night in late March and I am surrounded by people in orange shirts and sweaters, as well as people who are working hard to earn the right to wear these orange shirts and sweaters, in an old Fire Hall near Aden Bowman Collegiate. Specifically, I'm in a meeting room where large maps are spread out on tables and new Saskatoon Search and Rescue trainees are learning how to read these maps.It's training day for new recruits of Saskatoon Search and Rescue. It's an intense process. Whether you are a trainee or a veteran member of the team, you are put through scenarios and taught skills that will empower you to help find people when they go missing in all types of situations.It really does amaze me that these people commit so much of their time and energy to this group. Since 2019, Saskatoon Search and Rescue have responded to 86 missing person's activations, mostly at the request of the Saskatoon Police Service. Searches can take place in neighbourhoods throughout Saskatoon, along the South Saskatchewan, or in thick forests of northern Saskatchewan. As you will hear in this episode, Saskatoon Search and Rescue work closely as a team in order to do their job. Sheri Denis and Carla Egan are the two featured guests in this episode. Carla is the Communications Director with the group and is training to be a Saskatoon Search and Rescue Manager. Sheri Denis is a volunteer searcher who is also the Director of Project Lifesaver. This unique program protects people who are at risk of wandering in our community. Participants wear personalized wristbands that emit a radio-frequency tracking signal. If a person with a wristband becomes lost, Saskatoon Search and Rescue can use this tracking signal to locate them.The program started thanks to a very generous donation from the Saskatoon Police Service and the Saskatoon Police Service Foundation, and has grown thanks to the generosity of the community. Sheri, who works as an Educational Assistant, puts her heart into this work and I think that comes through in our conversation. She even demonstrates how her sophisticated equipment works! By day, Carla Egan works in a long-term care home here in Saskatoon as a recreation coordinator. Tonight, she is proudly wearing an orange Saskatoon Search and Rescue shirt and jacket. Carla worked really hard to earn her place on the team. In the fall of 2020, she saw a social media post from Saskatoon Search and Rescue looking for new members. Her kids were becoming more independent and her background of working with people with dementia gave her the confidence to think she could help. Nearly four years later, Carla says she has grown in so many ways thanks to her training and made friends with people from all walks of life.Carla shares some very powerful stories in our conversation and how her colleagues are always there to support each-other when the job gets difficult.I want to mention that Saskatoon Search and Rescue is a non-profit organization and relies on donations and grants for its funding. The organization's biggest fundraising event takes place on Monday, April 22nd at the Broadway Theatre. It is hosting the Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival which is made up of some amazing films celebrating unique outdoor films. Tickets are 20 dollars each and you can purchase them on the Broadway Theatre's website or at the door. I have my tickets and hope to see you there!Thank you so much for listening to this episode and for continuing to support a local, independent podcast here in Saskatoon.

KFOR's Dale Johnson sits down with a parent of an autistic child, a Lincoln Police officer and a leader of the Autistic Family Network to talk about Project Lifesaver

KFOR's Dale Johnson sits down with Dan Young, owner of Service Call in Lincoln, Police Chief, Jeff Bliemeister and LPD Sgt. Todd Beam and a device capable of finding autistic children who have wandered in minutes, not hours.

This officer has reached out to community partners in hopes of finding a partner to help serve a much needed special underserved population in our communities. That is helping with the Alzhiemer's, Dementia and some mentally handicapped community members during individual crisis situations. Project Lifesaver is the name of the national program that has made the hardware to locate and return wondering or lost members of the above mentioned groups of our community. In these special needs groups, time is critical in finding and relocating these individuals with their loved ones. Officer Radley began meeting with these three groups and realized very soon that we have a fairly large number of individuals in our communities. He developed a partnership with IHC and were able to receive a large donation that will not only benefit our city, but our entire county. We were given enough money to purchase equipment and bands for each jurisdiction in our county. We will now be able to serve this part of our community in a way that gives great confidence and piece of mind to the family members of the individuals in our community that suffer from these medical conditions. We were presented with the funds last week in a city council meeting and are in the process of rolling this out to enhance the service to our communities throughout Washington County. We are very excited with this opportunity to grow the partnerships with our community members. Please feel free to contact me for further information.

When a loved one is lost, every moment counts, and one local company's unique approach to tracking missing persons is proving to be a real lifesaver.

Why is important that our seniors matter? Our seniors are the fabric that holds a community together. They laid the foundation for the success of our communities, and are still a vital and important part of it’s ongoing success. We thought it was important that seniors and their caregivers have a place to ‘go’ weekly to learn, share ideas, share experiences and create a new online community for the betterment of everyone, especially seniors. On “Making Our Seniors Matter” today: Leslie Booker from Downsize Moving & More, joins us to talk about starting the discussion about downsizing, and getting rid of clutter before moving, but Leslie and her team are certainly available last minute to get the process started; Kate Salhanha, lawyer, joins us to talk about power of attorney, and the earlier you start the discussion, the better; And Constable Claudia Wells from the Peel Regional Police Service joins Glenn Cunningham to talk Project Life Saver, to help wandering seniors in Peel Region!
