For some, Saskatchewan’s removal of vaccine, mask mandates cause for celebration

Saskatchewan moves to end COVID-19 public health orders Jennica’s mother, Michelle, says her daughter loves music, lights and sound and the bowling alley allows all her sensory needs to be met.Michelle elected not to have her daughter vaccinated against COVID-19, saying that earlier in her life Jennica had complications from immunizations.When the government of Saskatchewan implemented a province-wide vaccine mandate on Oct. 1 of 2021, that meant Jennica could no longer enter the bowling alley.Michelle tried to get government exemption for her daughter through the province to allow Jennica to continue bowling but was unsuccessful.“Having this has been a very big disruption for her because she doesn’t really understand why she wasn’t able to bowl anymore”, said Michelle.Before the pandemic, Jennica would be at the bowling alley on a daily basis, arriving early in the morning to bowl without large crowds around her.

Invasive Joro spiders could take over East Coast, study says

A Joro spider in its web. (Ben Frick, co-author of study)The Joro spider, known for its distinctive yellow and blue coloring and uncomfortably large size, could soon invade the entire East Coast, a new study says. In September 2021, researchers found the invasive species, which first made its way to the United States in 2013, spinning its webs all over northeast Georgia, covering power lines, bushes and mailboxes, but after scientists observed the spiders and tested its physiology, they concluded the species could potentially survive outside of the southeastern quadrant of the U.S., according to a study published in the journal Physiological Entomology. Scientists compared the Joro spider to its close cousin, the golden silk spider, which has made its home in the southeast for over 160 years, according to the study but has yet to successfully invade other parts of the U.S.
