They come true through hard work and dedication,” she said. “Congratulations to everyone and thank you to the Business Women of Moose Jaw for providing opportunities for women to share their successes and be the very best that they can be.”

City of Moose Jaw Investigates Citizen Concern Re: Kinsmen Sportsplex Recently, a Moose Jaw citizen raised concerns about procedures at the Kinsmen Sportsplex Swimming Pool, related to swimmer safety on February 17, 2018. The City’s Parks & Recreation Department takes all citizen concerns seriously and has conducted a thorough investigation regarding the alleged incident. Among the findings: - The City does not dispute there may have been a concerning incident, but there is no conclusive evidence to support the claim that a child was in danger of drowning - No medical assistance was required, nor requested, for the child in question - Sportsplex swimming pool equipment (including waterslide platform railings) was inspected and found to be in compliance with government safety standards “Swimmer safety is our number one priority at the Kinsmen Sportsplex pool, which is licensed by the Province of Saskatchewan and operates according to the guidelines of the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health Swimming Pool Design and Operational Standards,” explained Parks & Recreation Director Ted Schaeffer. “This includes having the required number of lifeguards supervising the pool based on bather load as outlined in the guidelines.” Additionally, all lifeguards are certified at the National Lifeguard level through the Lifesaving Society and hold a current Standard First Aid and CPR-C Certification. All lifeguards also attend regular in-service training sessions to ensure they continue to meet the requirements of the position. The City of Moose Jaw has policies and procedures in place to ensure swimmers are using the appropriate areas of the pool based on their skill level, and additional signage has been placed at the Sportsplex to help make those policies and procedures clear. For more information, please contact: Craig Hemingway Communications Manager City of Moose Jaw PH: (306) 694-4406 C: (306) 513-8980 Email: chemingway@moosejaw.ca .
Help Yourself By Helping Others by Dr. Steven Heidinger, Moose Jaw Chiropractor I apologize for the political undertones of this article but the subject has been on my mind as of late. I will begin by quoting two political leaders from the past: “...the moral test of government is how that government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; those who are in the shadows of life; the sick, the needy and the handicapped. “ ~ Hubert H. Humphrey “A nation’s greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members.” ~ Mahatma Ghandi To say I have an interest in politics goes to so say I have an interest in anything that affects health. Obviously, I have a concern for the health of myself and my family. As a health professional, I have concern for the health of my patients and as a Canadian (and a taxpayer) I most definitely have concern for the health of my fellow countrymen and women, and society as a whole. It is fair to say that political policies affect health care. The federal government sets rules on health care for the country and the provinces are left alone to figure out how to budget for the health needs of their citizens, all the while abiding by these rules. Budgetary decisions have both direct and indirect implications on societal health. I believe that most people, when they think about health care, think about the health services the government provides. Services like doctors’ visits, treatments, tests, short and long-term care are at the heart
of Canada’s humongous medicare system. While medical services make up one of many determinants that contribute to health, it has been proven that spending more money on health services does not necessarily lead to a healthier population. More importantly, research is telling us that improving socioeconomic status (SES) within a population actually does more to improve societal health than health services themselves. The way to think about this is that front-line medical services are dealing with improving the lives of people that are already sick or hurt. Creating a healthier society is more about preventing sickness, disease and injury from happening in the first place. Our weakest members of society tend to make poorer lifestyle choices. For example, they likely don’t exercise; their diets are not the healthiest, and smoking and drinking prevalence is greater. From an early age, these habits can lead to things like obesity, diabetes, heart disease and mental health problems. To simplify, low SES puts strain on the health of individuals and the health of a population. Improving the lives of those in need may be the best way to create a healthier society. Doing so takes time, money and commitment from those who can make a difference. The truth is, we can all make a difference. Through donating our time and money, having compassion for those who are not as fortunate and by electing the leaders with a vision for a healthy future 54 Ominica St W • will strengthen us all.

As winter thaw begins to melt away, springtime brings something else into existence. And no, we’re not talking about fresh flowers, but rather something more daunting: potholes. Potholes are often at their worst in spring, caused by the expansion and contraction of water in the ground. In winter, this water expands, and then contracts as the weather warms up, leaving a cracked, broken pavement in its wake.

Tom Lukiwski Report
MP Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan Tom Lukiwski has very little use for the most recent iteration of the federal budget, citing a host of issues that leave him “very fearful for our economic outlook for this year Tom Lukiwski and years hence.” MP Moose Jaw-Lake The Conservative Centre-Lanigan Member of Parliament for Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan expressed his disappointment in the 2018 spending plan revealed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Bill Morneau on Feb. 27, with his largest point of contention a lack of attention paid to the priorities of Saskatchewan residents. “There’s no money in there for some of the priorities we have in Saskatchewan,” Lukiwski said shortly after Question Period on Feb. 28. “I would have liked to have seen at least some mention of agricultural assistance. Right now, we have a grain transportation problem, producers

Lukiwski unimpressed with budget Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
are finding it difficult to get their product to market, but there’s absolutely not one word about agriculture in the entire 357page budget document. That’s just shameful. “I’m very disappointed, as are most Canadians who have taken a good look at this budget. As Andrew Scheer, our opposition leader said, never has a government spent so much for so little... it really is a Seinfeldian budget in that it’s all to do about nothing.” The opposition has spoken greatly in recent days to the ongoing deficit issue, with the federal budgetary balance not expected to fall below $12.3 billion before 202223. Lukiwski pointed to the Department of Finance studies that say Canada won’t be able to balance the budget until 2045, creating a debt load he finds very concerning. By that time they will have racked up close to $500 billion in additional debt,” Lukiwski said. “That debt has to be paid by someone and it’s going to be our kids and our grandkids repaying it. “This is government that has a spending problem and is spending out of control and doing nothing to address that. There’s no talk about lowering taxes, there’s no talk about dealing with the competitive disadvantage we have with the United
States, nothing that talks about increasing our trade opportunities and nothing about ensuring our natural resources, the oil and gas sector, get their products to market. It’s a really do-nothing political document rather than a budget.” A budget highlight that drew much attention was the announcement of a study geared toward the implementation of a pharamacare drug program that would see medications covered for most Canadians. Lukiwski referenced the failed national daycare initiative as a sign of where he and his fellow opposition MPs expect that plan to go. “It’s wonderful to say you’re committed to a national pharmacare program, but there’s no detail in the budget that says how they’re going to achieve that,” he said. “They have commissioned a committee to examine pharmacare, but no commitment whatsoever to say when and how much it would cost to have this program implemented. “I go back to recent history in the late 1990s and early 2000 when the Liberals, for four consecutive elections, promised in each election that they would institute a national daycare program. Every year they promised it and never delivered. So this is a government is great at talking about things but never delivering. It’s easy to
say you’re committed to it but never doing anything. This is a government that is very fond of talking the talk but not walking the walk.” The 2018 budget isn’t all completely bleak in Lukiwski’s eyes – the plan to spend $172.6 million over the next three years to put clean drinking water on First Nations reserves is something he feels is a major positive. “On an aspirational front, they’ve said they would like to see the end of boil water advisories on reserves by the end of 2021. If they can do that, good on them, I’m 100 per cent behind them,” Lukiwski said. “We have yet to see whether or not they can fulfill that commitment, but it’s a laudable goal and this is certainly something they should be striving to achieve.” In the end, though, the debt and spending is where the buck stops, and that remains the greatest concern. This is an economic approach that is fraught with danger and I’m very fearful of what might happen in the years to come,” Lukiwski said. “Ultimately if we keep racking up debt like this with no gameplan to get out of deficit and without any good gameplan to increase the economy and increase jobs, we’re going to be in a passel of trouble. I think the government has severely missed the mark.”

Evans Florist: Bringing Romance for 100 years Sasha-Gay Lobban
a greenhouse at the zero block of Hochelaga E and turned “Evans Seeds” into “Evans Florist.” My dad, Henry Evans, came into the business in 1926. He was 15-years-old at the time and managed the flower shop; my uncle Les came into the business in 1928 and he was mainly at the greenhouse. In 1930 they bought the building where Evans Florist is located now—17 High St. W., so we’ve been in that building for over 80 years. That building was actually built in 1894—very historic.” He said the operation of the business was not without its challenges. “The 1930s were some tough times for Evans Florist but they got through it all. When the war started in 1939, the wire business started and that was the channel through which persons living in various parts of the world could order flowers for their loved ones living in other countries and it was telegraphed. In this aspect of the business, we were in touch with the rest of the world through this means. The wire business was a big part of Evans Florist because we had customers all over the world.” Rick and his brothers got into the family, combining their skills to keep the business going. “In the 1960s, my brothers and I started working in the flower business. We started as kids and we’d go in after school to help. My brother Keith went off to study and came back in 1965 to operate the business with my dad. In the 1970s, Ian and I joined right out of high school.” Evans Florist ensured their customers
Rick Evans.
Evans Florist has been bringing joy, happiness and smiles to people’s hearts for 100 amazing years! The flower shop brightens the day for individuals with their floral arrangements and the perfect gifts for any occasion, as they mark their 100th anniversary this year and continue to make their mark on history. Evans Florist was established in 1918. Two brothers, Fred and Art Evans joined forces to start a business that would continue to blossom 100 years later! The family- run business was operated by three generations of the Evans family for the greater part of those 100 years, before deciding to sell the business in 2008. Rick Evans, who was part of the third generation of brothers to run the business says the floral shop has an interesting history and he is happy to have been a part of this historical milestone. He sat down with the Express and reflected on the early days of the business and its evolution over the years. “Evans Florist was started in 1918 by Fred and Art Evans, my grandpa and his brother. It was started as a seed store. Fred had been here in Moose Jaw for quite awhile where he operated a barber shop and Art came over from England where he was a seeds man. They decided in 1918 to open a seeds store and called it ‘Evans Seeds’ but later discovered that they couldn’t make a living selling just seeds in January and February, so they started bringing in flowers and plants.” Through this new venture, they were able Back in the day when Evans Florist to provide the best flowers and plants for started receiving flowers by air. their customers. “In 1924, they started

The Evans family received an award from FTD in 1984, as well as many others over the years. would be happy with the flowers they provided. “In the early days of the business, we sourced flowers from Medicine Hat, Vancouver, Lethbridge, etc. and they all came on the CPR. We then started bringing in flowers by air—Trans Canada Air, before Air Canada. That was an interesting time for us.” Operating in Moose Jaw, Rick says the community fully supported the business and the family ensured they were actively involved in the community—giving back. “We were recognized with many awards. We were involved with some local organizations. That was a big part of the business.” “We sold the business to Tina Couzens in 2008. She had worked for us for 25 years and it was a perfect fit to sell the business to her.” So what made Evans Florist flourish and evolve to a century in business? Rick credits a dedicated staff of people and the support of the community. “We’ve had a dedicated staff and loyal customers that have made the business what it is today. 100 years is a testament to how good the community has been to us. The community has been a great support and we ensured we gave back. We used to have a “good neighbor day” where we collaborated with the Salvation Army to bring in 60,000 roses to sell at a cheap cost and every dollar we made, we gave it to the Salvation Army. Over the course of eight years, we raised about 38,000 for the Salvation Army. We believe that when the

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS
Servers anxious to offer take-out containers If there were a medal offered for speed-eating, I would be at the very rear end of the competition, having been out-chewed by everyone capable of handling a knife and fork. In my growing-up years, the lesson taught was to eat slowly so as to avoid indigestion. The health guide from school ordered children of Joyce Walter that era to chew each mouthFor Moose Jaw Express ful of soft food from five to 10 times before swallowing. Foodstuffs such as meat and dense vegetables should be chewed at least 30 times. And bites were to be mouth-sized, thus my small mouth would only accommodate smaller bites but even those smaller bites would require the same amount of chewing. That, by way of explanation, is why to this very day, I am a slow eater, chewing carefully and swallowing what has been chewed, followed by sips of water or other available beverages. Friends are resigned to the fact that I will still be eating long after they have finished their meals and have stud-
ied the dessert menu or have even calculated the cost of the meal and have their cash or credit cards ready for the bill. Now if only servers in restaurants would learn that some customers are slower than others and cannot, or definitely should not, be rushed out of the establishment. And how rude of them to offer a take-out container when one hasn’t been requested. On a recent out-of-city trip, I was enjoying a prime rib buffet dinner, complete with salad and dessert bar and long lines of eager eaters. I gathered my food ahead of Housemate who saved our table, then I began eating while he went to the line. Even by starting last, he finished first, salad, main courses and dessert. I was still enjoying my prime rib and the chicken when the server came to take Housemate’s plate. Then she came to my side of the table and put her hand on my plate. I grabbed it away before she could steal the remainder of my meal. “I’m not finished,” I told her, talking with my mouth full, which I know is bad manners but short of stabbing her hand with my fork, how was I to stop her? She apologized profusely and even offered a shoulder hug, which I endured as my prime rib got cold. Housemate, of course, was amused. I was not. The next night, after a scary taxi ride, we were seated at a favourite restaurant chain that does not exist in
Saskatchewan. We ordered our food, received our soup and salad and bread sticks, and then the main course. The food was as good as I remembered from a previous visit. Housemate had finished his soup, part of my salad, several bread sticks and his entree plus a refill of his beverage while I carefully chewed my way through my chicken and angel hair pasta served in a special sauce. Chew, chew, chew, then swallow. A tiny portion of the plate became visible. “Should I bring you a take-out container?” the server asked. “No thank you, I don’t want a container. I’m enjoying my meal right here,” I responded as she looked at me as though I were taking up valuable space that could be used for another customer. Again Housemate thought it was a hoot. I was not hooting, I was chewing and savouring. It was at least another 20 minutes before my brain registered that my stomach was full and I could stop chewing. It was a wonderful meal and I enjoyed every bite. The server was delighted when we said we would take our dessert to go — in one of her prized take-out containers.

March is Brain Health Awareness Month
Moose Jaw Exhibition Convention Centre
“You have only one brain and it controls ALL of the body’s functions. Keeping it safe and healthy should be of utmost importance to everyone” says Glenda James, SBIA Executive Director. A healthy brain begins with a healthy lifestyle; including eating healthy food and getting exercise but it also involves keeping your brain active and engaged, and protecting it by wearing a helmet.” The Saskatchewan Brain Injury Association will kick off the month with the annual BrainLove campaign. BrainLove is a partnership between the provincial organization and the Saskatchewan Royal Purple Association (SRPA) to encourage the public to learn about the brain and make the health and safety of their brains a priority during Brain Health Awareness Month. The two provincial organizations are teaming up with the BrainLove campaign not only to raise Brain Health awareness, but also funds for educational programs. “March will mark the kickoff of our fifth year of our education and fundraising partnership,” said Sandi Lougheed, Chair of the Saskatchewan Royal Purple Association’s Charity Partnership Committee. “Over the next twelve months we hope to reach our five year goal of $100,000 and to double our school education program.” The funds raised by the BrainLove Campaign are used for prevention programs with the goal of reducing the incidence of brain injury.

Grade 7 students participate in Smarter Science Better Buildings at the WDM Sasha-Gay Lobban
Grade 7 students got an opportunity to fuse science and history, as they participated in a 2-hour workshop at the Western Development Museum called Smarter Science Better Buildings (SSBB). This 2-hour workshop is a hands-on program which allows students the opportunity to explore the concepts of heat and temperature through the practical application of making homes more energy efficient. Smarter Science Better Buildings (SSBB) combines interactive displays specific to energy efficiency in buildings, with inquiry into the energy efficiency of the historical buildings on site. The workshop was made possible by the Saskatchewan Environmental Society, the Western Development Museum, and SSBB. The program also got support from Sask. Energy who was able to fund students’ transportation to the WDM. Karla Rasmussen, Education Coordinator at the WDM says the workshop provides an opportunity for students to learn about energy efficiency and get an inside
look at how buildings are created to ensure that they use energy in an effective manner. “Smarter Science Better Buildings was developed a few years back with the WDM and the Saskatchewan Environmental Society. This year we’ve had great funding support from Sask. Energy who’s been able to provide subsidies for bus transportation for students to come to this workshop. This has helped to improve our attendance this year right across the board at all our locations,” she said. “Smarter Science Better Building talks about energy efficient homes and buildings and how you can do that from scratch if you’re building a new building or how you can retrofit something that is already existing. We also tie that into history where the students also get a chance to go through the museum gallery and look at the building itself—the facility and as well as some of the buildings that are within the gallery exhibit. They can look at those and see what they’re made of; when they were made; what kind of insulation they might

Brabant Lake district north of LaRonge shows prospect of province’s first zinc mine
Outside of uranium, Saskatchewan has little hard rock mining even though one-third of the province is covered by the mineral rich Great Canadian Shield. A small Toronto-based exploration company is on track to give the province another metal mine, although not as prolific as the uranium belt. Murchison Minerals is in early stages of developing a high-grade zinc property with some copper and minor lead, silver, and gold values. The Brabant property, 175 miles northeast of LaRonge along Highway 102, has easy access to power, infrastructure and local labour. Discovered by a prospector in 1956, the property has had a history of turnovers, changing hands six times since 1988. Even copper giant Phelps Dodge took a shot at it for two years before handing it back to the owner under a corporate-wide property reassessment. Murchison’s predecessor, Manicougan, took it back in 2005. Three years later Murchison had developed an initial resource estimate of 1.5 million tonnes indicated at 9.2 per cent zinc and three million tonnes inferred at 5.6 per cent zinc. Since 2105, Murchison has concentrated efforts on Brabant, finding three other targets. The plan is to try and develop a deposit with between 10 million tonnes and 15 million tonnes of viable ore. The deposit lies in the same geological belt as Manitoba’s Lynn Lake, Snow Lake, and Lalor Lake mines. With zones from 50 metres depth to 1,000 metres and ultimate depth not yet determined, the first target has plenty of potential. Work this summer includes definition drilling to get a higher confidence level of the grade and expand the resource. Geophysical work and sampling will take place at the other three targets. The company raised $3.8 million cash from share issues in December. Murchison’s board chairman J.C. Potvin was a BMO mining research analyst who turned into a mining company deal maker. One of his major achievements was leading development of Paangea Goldfields in Tanzania, selling it to Barrick Gold for $204 million. Another former BMO research analyst Don Johnson owns 30 per cent of Murchison’s shares. There is a natural buyer at an early stage of development. Nearby Hudbay Minerals owns the Lalor Mine in Manitoba. By the time a Brabant mine might be ready for production, Lalor will have limited years of reserves left. A Hudbay acquisition would keep the Snow Lake concentrator operating. If Hudbay shows no interest, others will. Industry estimates place global zinc production in deficit until well past 2021 with prices ranging from$1.40 to $1.60 a pound. Current price: $1.60 US per pound. Murchison Minerals, priced at 16 cents a share, is a highly risky gamble but an interesting story. Investors will one day either regret buying the shares, or brag about how they invested in Saskatchewan’s first zinc mine. CAUTION: Remember when investing, consult your adviser and do your homework before buying any security. Bizworld does not recommend investments. Ron Walter can be reached at ronjoy@sasktel.net
Students explore the various stations where they got to see how energy efficient homes are built. have and see how energy efficient they are,” Rasmussen added. The workshop had six (6) stations where students were able to explore the science of creating energy efficient homes and answer questions in relation to the different stations. “The teachers were sent packages before hand that had a worksheet for their students as well as a scavenger hunt. The work sheet takes the students around the room to six (6) different stations. The stations are: retrofits, building materials, water, solar, lighting and appliance and
the net zero home,” Rasmussen explained. “The ‘net zero’ home is the catalyst for this project. They had a sample net zero home which is a home that doesn’t take up anymore than it uses for energy in the parking lot of the WDM in Saskatoon. We have a model of that house here as part of one of the displays. The students get to go to each work station where they answer questions ahead of time in class and they answer some questions at the stations about diverse ways in which homes are more efficient or not.” She highlights how hands-on the workshop is, which she says is critical for students. “This is great for the students because it is tangible. It is not a static display that can’t be touched but the workshop is interactive, and students are able to get involved. This is also a way in which we bring science and history together and the students get that hands-on opportunity. This is very great to see. The Smarter Science Better Buildings workshop runs from Tuesday, February 27 to Friday, March 9. It is designed to meet outcomes in the grade 7 Science, Heat, and Temperature unit. Students get to visit one of the four WDM’s in Saskatchewan (Saskatoon, North Battleford, Yorkton, and Moose Jaw) for a half-day program.

Canada’s best ever performance at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang had many of us watching some very skilled athleticism. At the same time, some of our younger local athletes were working toward a podium appearance at the Saskatchewan Winter Games in North Battleford. As part of the South West Region, Moose Jaw sent 61 athletes and 15 coaches to the Saskatchewan Winter Games in North Battleford. Of the nine regions participating, the South West Region placed 5th with 42 medals. Moose Jaw athletes returned home with 18 medals. Congratulations to all of our local athletes who
train hard, and gave it all they had competing and showing great sportsmanship. Special acknowledgement is due to Molly Morris who came home with two medals in speed skating and Justin Wiens with three medals in judo. Some of our local football players have returned home with a gold medal after participating in the 2018 Alamo City Pigskin Classic. Players from 10 & Under to the 16 & Under all learned a great deal and had a life experience, with the 16 & Under group coming home with a medal. Local curler, Marie Wright, is in Pyeongchang this week at the Winter Paralympic Games, playing lead for Team Canada.
Canada has won gold at all Paralympic Games since curling was introduced in 2006. Marie curled in the 2017 World Championship, and has become an inspiration as she strives for excellence in taking on the challenges of life as a paraplegic. We wish her well in her first Paralympic Games as Team Canada goes for gold once again. At the Legislature, MLAs have been meeting to prepare for the opening of the Spring Session. Premier Scott Moe recently fulfilled his commitment to reinstate the exemption of the Provincial Sales Tax on agriculture, life and health insurance premiums. Many people in our province will appreciate this move as it was an issue I received feedback on after last spring’s budget. The change has an impact of $65 million on revenue forecast for 2017-18 and a $120 million impact on revenue forecast for 2018-19. Premier Moe has said that the financial impact can be accommodat-
ed within the government’s three-year plan to balance the budget by 2019-20. The exemption, which is retroactive to August 1, 2017, covers agriculture, which includes crop, livestock and hail insurance premiums as well as individual and group life and health insurance premiums; health includes disability, accident and sickness insurance. The Ministry of Finance will work with the insurance industry to determine the best way to refund individuals and businesses that have paid PST on agriculture, life and health insurance premiums. More information about how the refunds will be administered will be available by April 10. Congratulations again to all our South West Region Saskatchewan Winter Games athletes and coaches, and the Saskatchewan Selects Football teams; and best wishes the Marie Wright as she represents Canada at the Winter Paralympic Games.
Mechanic sweeps Elks third annual chili contest By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express
Nobody knows what Sam Morrison puts in his Chili recipe but his entry was tasty enough to win both the People’s Choice and Judge’s Choice at the third annual Elk’s LodgeChili Contest at the Legion. Morrison didn’t offer to share his recipe for the bean and hamburger- based food. His entry won out of eight submitted to the contest this year. The contest is a fun event and fundraiser for the Elks Lodge No. 7 with a silent auction, door prizes and, of course, sampling the chili entries for $10.
Judges, Coun. Scott McMann, Provincial Elks President Kalvin Nankivell of Kisbey and Ron Walter of the Moose Jaw Express, rated each entry based on colour, aroma, texture, flavour, heat and taste of the numbered cups of chili on their plates. Organizer Jeff Schnieder told judges they didn’t have to eat all the chili in each of eight cups, just taste them and rate them for the contest. Most of the cups were empty when the judging was complete. “That heat on that Number Five sure

He visits 23 of the 69 lodges in Saskatchewan during his one-year term. All lodges get a presidential visit once every three years. Nankivell says the Elks remain strong in many Saskatchewan communities. A new lodge is being formed in Warman. He said the new lodge is younger members, a departure from existing lodges, whose members are mostly older. The local Elks raised more than $22,000 last year for various charities for things as varied as soccer balls, health care, youth scholarships, to a motorcycle ride and a popcorn machine for the Legion. One of the biggest fundraisers is operating a burger concession at public and private events. Ron Walter can be reached at ronjoy@ sasktel.net

The Moose Jaw Gamers Association presented a cheque for $1,250 to Hunger in Moose Jaw to assist the organization in continuing to provide nutrition programs to schools across the city. The Association presented the cheque on Monday, February 26, following the staging of their winter Gaming Expo earlier this month. The Gamers Association says it donated this money to Hunger in Moose Jaw as it supports what the organization is doing for children through their programs. Kristian Sjoberg, Moose Jaw Gamers Association said the Winter Gaming Expo was a huge success that saw hundreds of people attending, enabling them to raise the funds to donate. “We had a gaming Expo weekend at the beginning of February where we got together and had a weekend of gaming activities. From this event, we raised enough money to donate to Hunger in Moose Jaw. Some of our members have benefited from the Hunger in Moose Jaw program and that touched our hearts this year, so we decided to donate this money. Also, we wanted to keep the donations local. In previous years, some of our donations have gone to provincial organizations and we want to steer back towards Moose Jaw and keep the money local to assist programs benefiting children here.”

The announcement of $250 million from the federal government for an agricultural super cluster based on proteins met enthusiasm from the industry in Western Canada. Pulse industry spokesmen described the protein research and development plans as necessary to turn the Prairies from simply exporting raw grain to exporting valuable products
extracted from the grain. Including funds from industry partners the super cluster will involve $950 million investment. Industry participation shows this notion is not just another bureaucrat’s dream on paper. Not everybody is happy with the super cluster plan, a federal plan that involves five super clusters across the country. A columnist for the right-wing Post Media newspapers questioned the whole idea of super clusters, pointing out that Canada already has naturally developed super clusters in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. The Ontario-centred columnist further suggests government is not equipped to choose winners and losers in business. Saskatchewan has a nearly 40-year history with a super cluster developed by the provincial government under Premier Grant Devine. When Devine announced Innovation Place for Saskatoon as a centre of excellence in agricultural related research and industry, skeptics had a field day.
It turns out almost 40 years later that Innovation Place is one of the best moves the Devine government made. Saskatoon has become a hub of biotechnology and food industry since the 1980s. The operation directly employs 142 people with three locations: Saskatoon, Regina and Prince Albert. More importantly, 110 tenants in Saskatoon employ 2,500 people in 20 buildings with co-labs and co-working space for tenants. In Regina, there are 33 tenants and about 1,200 employees. Prince Albert, focused on forestry, has 20 tenants and 200 employees. Without the centre of excellence concept that Devine brought to the fledgling Innovation Place, most of these jobs, spinoff jobs and the benefits to provincial food and agriculture industry likely would not have happened. Saskatoon tenants range from AgWest Biotech to branches of international ag input makers like BASF and Bayer Crop Science to the Canadian Grain Commission to a website developer. The Regina tenants include the Petroleum Technology Centre work on greenhouse gas emissions and the carbon capture storage technology. And the province’s green energy development operates out of an Innovation Place location. The just-announced super cluster won’t be an overnight sensation scoring political points. Over the years, observers will note how this piece of long term planning played a major role in keeping Saskatchewan agriculture competitive in world markets. Just growing seeds and exporting them is no longer enough. Emerging economies are becoming more self-sufficient in food production. Some former Soviet Union countries enjoy natural freight advantages. Ron Walter can be reached at ronjoy@sasktel.net

City Council: Budget proposal tabled over fee increases Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
The steady and ongoing increases in water and sewer rates led the City of Moose Jaw’s proposed budget for 2018 being officially tabled for further review and adjustment at the city council meeting on Feb. 26. After a series of revision votes – ranging from digitization of the city records to the potential hiring of a infrastructure technician – brought forth by Coun. Brian Swanson as budget committee reports from the last month were submitted, his issues were brought to a head when the final report from Feb. 13 was to be voted on. That report finalized the 5.01 per cent tax increase, as well as the 15 per cent waterworks utility rate and six per cent sanitary sewer rate increases. Swanson’s first area of contention – the two rate increases – ended up seeing the budget returned for revision. “I’m as aware as anyone around the table here about need for core capital infrastructure upgrades,” Swanson said in an introduction on his motion for a re-vote on the increases, seeking to see them defeated with a new round of council voting. “The difference is how they’re paid for, and the idea that we can continue to say there’s nothing we can do with the operations at City Hall, therefore we need a whole bunch of money from the taxpayers in the community, I think we’ll fail. There’s not enough money available.” Swanson pointed out that a 15 per cent increase had last occurred in July 2017, with the current increase set for May. 1 and similar rate adjustments expected for the next four or five years. “We need to show some leadership and reallocate existing spending towards higher priority items. I have no illusion that you can do that and no one would notice,” he said. “I don’t believe that is sustainable for the people of the community and I’m suggesting there’s better places to find it in our existing spending.” Coun. Dawn Luhning went even further in her assessment of the situation. “We can not keep going to the taxpayers and doing the same thing over and over and over again... you tack it on year after year and eventually it’ll break people,” Luhning said, pointing out that the 15 per cent increases have been ongoing for nearly 10 years at this point. “We have to look at ourselves and look at finding ways to cut back, cut costs and stop these increases. We might not like that, because we’ll actually have to sharpen our pencils and actually do something that’s different than we’ve ever done before... if we actually said ‘you have to cut costs across the board by 10 per cent, find efficiencies, I bet you things might be done differently and there might be some changes that happen.” As the debate continued, Coun. Scott McMann pointed out that the city is looking toward a new priority budget system in the new year, a move that could see radical changes to how funds are allocated and as such potentially find such savings next year. For the immediate future, though, keeping the two utilities funded at the planned level was of importance. “It’s fine to say we shouldn’t be increas-
ing fees at that level but we haven’t had any plans saying that we’re going to cut this, this, this and this,” McMann said, referring to the actions the priority budget might take. “So until that’s presented, I don’t know how we can deal with it any other way than how it’s been done... I don’t like to support 15 per cent and six per cent rate increases and we need to do better in the future, but it’s the reality this year.” Mayor Fraser Tolmie also spoke to the issue, saying that not supporting the utilities at the planned level could have dire consequences. “I think we have to put this into perspective,” he said. “Our water source is over 20 kilometres away from us and if we don’t plan to upgrade these water lines and we were caught without water, the uproar from the public would be ‘why didn’t you do something about it’... I think putting a reasonable cost on a water supply that is over 20 kilometres away at this time before we start doing priority budgets is the right thing to do.” Solving the issue this year and in the close future was something Coun. Chris Warren pointed out would take much input and many suggestions from city administration to create the revisions needed to still fund the waterworks and sewer. “This requires a systematic approach from the experts in city administration... we have funding that’s in the works, we have projects that are already approved and if we don’t have the 15 per cent increase, it has to be found somewhere else and that’s where the administration needs to work together to come up with that and with some urgency,” Warren said. The resulting re-vote that the city administration be directed to amend Bylaw No. 5152 – the sewer and water utility bylaw – to reflect the increases was subsequently defeated 4-3, with Swanson, Luhning, Warren and Coun. Don Mitchell voting against; Tolmie, McMann and Coun. Crystal Froese voting in favour. Shortly after the entire budget report was tabled in order to allow city administration to attempt to lessen the rate increase burden, with city council providing direction in that area as needed. **** Earlier budget reports were also challenged by Swanson: -- An increase of $50,000 to the human resources contracting services account to provide for the development of new job evaluations was re-voted and defeated. -- An increase of $53,000 for an employee active living program was re-voted and defeated. -- A media management software funding request for IT project funding of $80,000 for the digitization and cataloguing of historical records, currently in a haphazard state in the city hall basement, was re-voted and again approved. -- A funding request of $50,000 for a longterm sustainability study conducted by an outside consultant firm was re-voted and defeated -- A request for $70,000 for the hiring of an additional city planner was re-voted and again approved. -- A request for $60,000 for the hiring of
Moose Jaw Murals Project Management Committee member Elizabeth Dusomme speaks in support of the local murals project having it’s funding restored. a new GIS infrastructure technician was re-voted and again approved. **** A rather heartwarming moment occurred early in the council meeting of Feb. 26 as members of the Moose Jaw Murals Project Management Committee spoke toward having their funding restored.
Committee members Elizabeth Dusomme and Norma Westgard both delivered remarks passionately in support of the ongoing project and how much it means to the city and it’s existence as a boon to tourism. As it turns out, city council wholeheartedly agreed, with Coun. Don Mitchell immediately moving that $12,500 in funding be returned to the committee. Why had it been removed in the first place? Brian Acker, finance director for the City of Moose Jaw, revealed that upon looking into the matter, it appeared the murals funding had simply been missed as an individual line item, and that as a status-quo budget, it should have been included. It was simply a matter of a miscommunication or misfiling. After small amount of discussion in full support of the murals and the committee, council voted unanimously to restore the full funding total of $12,500. **** Council named Mitchell the new Deputy Mayor, Swanson the Executive Committee Chairperson and Warren the Personnel Committee Chairperson for a term from Mar. 1 to Apr. 30 for all three positions.

DOWN ON THE
CORNER Stupid Groundhog I think some depressed glass half full guy named Murphy said, “If anything can go wrong, it will” and it came true so often that they named a law after him. Murphy was actually an US Airforce engineer who was tired of breakdowns and shoddy manufactured equipment during G force testing in the 40’s. This past winter is a good example of Mother Nature’s spin on Murphy’s Law with lots of snow, lots of ice, lots of cold weather and sadly lots of shovby Dale “BUSHY” eling, but there is a rumour that Spring is Bush just around the corner…finally! When Spring gets here I will run up to her and give her the biggest hug. If she doesn’t press harassment charges, we will get on with giving winter the big snow-boot. Our local groundhog, Liarton Larry, predicted 6 more weeks of winter back on February 2nd and he was dead on. In this part of the province, we have officially received 30% more snow than our annual average and part of me is somewhat relieved after a long hot and dry summer, but I fear what a fast melt and spring rains could produce. Murphy, why did you put into words what we all know in our hearts? I wonder if the reverse sentiment could have a law as well? If something could go right, it might! Hmm pretty optimistic. Stupid groundhog! My ideal transformation from winter to spring would seem to be gradual with moderate melting, run-off and hopefully no flooding, but I have serious doubts, partly due to Murphy’s Law and mostly to do with global warming. That stupid groundhog! The facts, figures and data all indicate the planet is experiencing global warming but a certain President of a certain coun-
try has stated that global warming is in fact “fake news”. He has gone so far as to have his staff not refer to global warming but use the term “Climate Change” and says he is smart enough to tell his scientists all they need to know about “climate change”. My worst fear is that he might be right, because if the planet was “warming” up why do I have these huge snow piles in my yard and what about these polar vortex thingys? Winters on the prairies just used to be cold, and now folks need to deal with fancy schmancy new names and descriptions for the same old coldness. Stupid groundhog! The huge piles of snow are getting smaller by the day. We’ve started some seeds indoors for the garden seems to give the melting schedule more importance while my bride is preaching patience…sigh! We have some plans for the garden that is still under snow, but the outlines of the beds are becoming more visible daily. I must resist the temptation to help the melting snow with my shovels and the Sno-Tosser 3000. Some of the trees are beginning to show buds and while that is a sure sign of a fading winter, I worry they might be damaged somehow with a bout of wacky spring “climate change”. We know about climate change, but Mother Nature shrugs it off and continues regardless of the snow on the ground. I wish I was as nonchalant as she. Some of the birds seem to be returning, most notably the flickers who can be constantly heard drumming for mates and territory. Stupid groundhog! With winter finally taking a spring vacation, I am eager to accept spring into my life again, but I need that last bit of reassurance. I may have just received the signal of spring I have been waiting for, at last…a robin, but that groundhog is still stupid.

TaxTeam expands to new location Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
As the TaxTeam reached the point where their old office just wasn’t big enough to contain their expanding business, the decision was made to make the move to 339 Main St. where a recent grand opening was held. “We’d been at the other place for quite a long time and this office is quite a bit bigger,” said TaxTeam manager Michael Biette. “At the other place we didn’t have the space to give private intake-type stuff, where here we are able. People who were interested in us and haven’t seen us before can come in with no pressure and see what we’re all about and what we offer.” The new office space came with an added bonus. Not a tremendous amount of renovation was needed to fit the business, just a new coat of paint, some steam-clean-
ing and TaxTeam was off and running. “(Space) was one of the biggest considerations, plus this place has a bit more of a professional look,”Biette said. “We like being downtown here; we were just down the street not too far away, but this place keeps the professional appearance in the downtown.” TaxTeam has been a staple of financial businesses in the city for over 18 years, initially starting as a small tax-season preparation firm. “When I first started, it was Doug Rempel and back then, it was just him and his wife and they’d rent out an office during tax time,” Biette explained. “The last few years, we’ve had five to 10 per cent growth, the first year we had maybe 100 clients; so far this year we’re pushing
close to 5,000. TaxTeam’s popularity partially comes from the wide variety of services they offer – every kind of Canadian tax return is offered from personal, business, farm, rental to corporate. On top of that, we have accounting services, bookkeeping and payroll. “Anything involving those kinds of things, we’ll do it,” Biette said. No appointment is necessary. TaxTeam carries a team of 18 to 20 staff during tax season, so they’re able to deal with a large volume of work in a short amount of time, even with a steady flow of clients. “Whenever you have your last slip come in, just bring it down and we can help out on the spot,” Biette said. “Just walk in; we have the staff and the accountants to do that.” And then there’s their accuracy pledge – if a mistake is made and there’s a penalty from the government or interest charges, the business will pay back double that amount. That’s because the returns aren’t one-person shows. “ We’re able to do that because I don’t just sit down and do your tax return and give it back to you; we get your stuff and we have one accountant that works on it and
Moose Jaw TaxTeam manager Michael Biette outside the firm’s new office location, 339 Main St. we have a senior accountant that works on it, everything has multiple double check points,” explained Biette. “That way we won’t make mistakes and if there’s a credit we can find, we can let you know about that, too, and get the maximum refund.” TaxTeam hours of operation are 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday thru Friday, with extended hours open on Thursdays to 7:00 p.m. Saturday hours are 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Tax arrears on local property reach milestone mark By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express
Property tax arrears in the City of Moose Jaw crept up past the half million dollar mark last year. A city finance department report shows arrears at December 31 of $591,111 — an increase of 33 per cent from 2016. Arrears in 2016 were $447,700, up from $397,000 in 2015. Just about $55,000 of the 2017 arrears involves a plan to pay the taxes. The tax arrears equal 2.3 per cent total property tax collections. ——————— False alarms continue to be the largest category of responses by the Moose Jaw Fire Service, accounting for more than one-third of calls. Of 824 responses by firefighters last year, 298 were false alarms, according to the quarterly report made to city council. During the period from October to December, 85 false alarms came in with 13 from faulty alarms or faulty smoke detectors, nine from cooking smoke and seven from dust setting off an alarm. The department was busiest in summer/ fall with 250 responses in the third quarter, 214 in the fourth quarter, 206 in the second and 154 in the first three months. Firefighters responded to 152 fires, 139 motor vehicle collisions, 96 hazardous materials incidents and 36 carbon monox-
ide calls. Fire losses within the city were estimated at $1,473,000 with $20.9 million of property value saved. Education programs reached 8,314 people during the year. ————— The City of Moose Jaw had seven more employees at year end than in 2016. The payroll had 361 staff, compared with 354 in 2016. Parks and recreation had the most employees with 85, an increase of 10. Police had 79, a loss of one; with the fire service at 49, also down one. Financial services gained four for 29 with engineering gaining one for 17. Water and wastewater lost four or for 24; streets, roads and sanitation lost four for 16. Transit lost two for 16. ———— Reports of on-the-job accidents by City of Moose Jaw employees rocketed from 93 to 166 last year but only 17 dys oF woRk were lost. In 2016, only 10 days were lost to accidents. The 10-year record loss was 1,221 days from 57 incidents. Ron Walter can be reached at ronjoy@ sasktel.net

Not too Chicken to Plunge into Polar Waters Moose Jaw Express advertising executive Glenn Haug wasn’t chicken when it came to the Law Enforcement Torch Run Polar Plunge on Feb. 24.
A Night in Nashville a huge success Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
It was a small, off-to-the-side moment that showed just how impressive support for the Moose Jaw Health Foundation’s annual gala events has become. Workers in the coat-check area at the Mae Wilson Theatre completely ran out of room to store jackets for the hundreds of patrons packed into the building for the A Night in Nashville fundraiser event on Mar. 2. That had happened only once before – at a previous Health Foundation gala. That kind of support and backing from the community means it’s all but certain the event will once again raise close to $200,000 for the purchase of diagnostic equipment at the Wigmore Hospital. “It’s almost unbelievable how supportive people are when it comes to this event,” said Health Foundation executive director Kelly McElree just prior to the show’s six musical acts taking the stage. “We started many years ago doing concerts because they’re really transformational for people because there’s great healing power in music and music brings people together. The artists who travel from as far away as Nashville really bring that heart that is so important and the emotion of Miranda Mulholland and Andrew Pen ner of the duo Harrow what it means to impact patient care at Wigmore Hospital.” Fair perform during the A Nig ht at Nashville gala. A major part of the event, since it’s inception, has been the work of organizer Jared Mathieson and his corps of volunteers – from finding the artistic talent to setting up the event and securing sponsors, the work Mathieson has put into the gala over the years has been crucial to its ongoing success. “His work and his team of volunteers are the heart and soul of this event,” McElree said. “They have been for many, many years and we’re so thankful for how much they do how they support us. “We’ve done Concerts of Hope, a Night at Bluebird Cafe, Black and White Gala and a Blue and White Gala. It’s a great way for people to give and in turn help save the life of a person who is undergoing cancer treatment and other related illnesses at the Wigmore Hospital.” The Night in Nashville featured a unique format where performers took the stage in groups of three and alternated songs, a idea that even created unique collaborations on some of the tunes. The duo Harrow Fair (Miranda Mullholland and Andrew Penner) were joined by Damhnait Doyle and Mike Plume for the first half of the show; longtime gala supporter Victoria Banks, Phil Barton and Emily Shackleton played the second half. The artists brought a wide variety of sounds, from pure country to folk and even a bit of rock n’ roll. “It all starts with Jared, he knows so many people so he had the idea for this event and contacted the artists,” McElree said of landing such skilled and accomplished talent. “Victoria Banks came up for the first concert many years ago, she’s a great songwriter in Nashville and she knows some people, then (master of ceremonies) Joel Stewart is with CMT and he loves coming here, so having those connections really helps.”
ion to her In addition to the patrons, the show saw a host of sponsor support and donations for the evening, plenty of emot t gh ou br le all going to an impressive cause – proceeds from the event will be going toward a new portable Damhnait Doy Nashville. digital x-ray system that can be brought to the patient’s beside as well as a portable ultrasound unit the Night at that can be used for detecting various diseases as well as working with pregnancies.
“All the money raised from every ticket sale is going to go towards that,” McElree said. “So we’re just so thankful for the volunteers who organize this and the artists who perform and make this night so special for everyone...You can tell by the energy in this room and the electric atmosphere what’s going to happen tonight, and it’s a little bit of magic that happens when these people come out and support this event and see the impact of what their charitable donation can do.”

Moose Jaw curlers fall short at high school regionals Express Staff
Central Cyclones skip David Gray follows sweepers Mason Gray and Ethan Gross during high school boys regional curling action.
Teams from Moose Jaw came as close as they could when it came to qualifying for the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association provincial curling championships, but in the end luck just wasn’t on their side. The Central Cyclones girls foursome of skip Niki Stark, third Ana Cornea, second Junea Wilderman, lead Michelle MacNeil and alternate Delaney O’Neal came the closest of the local rinks vying to get through regionals, overcoming a first-round loss to battle all the way back to the ‘B’ side qualifying game at the Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre. Central opened with a 10-6 loss to Gull Lake’s Rachel Murray, but followed that up with a pair of close wins – 7-6 over Emily Kuntz of Assiniboia and 11-10 over Eyebrow’s Danita Esmond – on the ‘B’ side to reach the qualifier and a rematch with Gull Lake. Murray went on to a 7-3 win. Maple Creek’s Morgan Robinson won the ‘A’ side spot.
In the boys regional tournament, also in Moose Jaw, Central’s David Gray opened with a commanding 11-1 win over Dinsmore’s Josh McPhail before suffering a heartbreaking 9-8 loss to Swift Current’s Theo Lautsch after taking a 4-0 lead out of the first end. Gray then lost another close game in his first ‘B’ side contest, falling 5-4 to Pontiex’s Tanner Kendall. Cole Macknack of Mossbank won the ‘A’ side berth; Kindersley’s Sean Cey took the ‘B’ side spot. At the mixed regional tournament in Assiniboia, Peacock’s Skylar Ackerman had little luck on her side, as the Toilers fell 10-3 in their first game and dropped an 8-7 decision to the hosts in their first ‘B’ side game. Rosetown defeated Maple Creek in the ‘A’ final, Assiniboia downed Maple Creek to take the ‘B’ spot. Provincials begin Mar. 9, with the boys in Spiritwood, girls in Ituna and mixed in Rosetown.
Central Collegiate’s ‘Strengthening our Legacy’ program aims to replace aging gym surface Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
Just like infrastructure of all kinds, school facilities have a tendency to wear out and break down over time, needing an increasing amount of repair before replacement finally becomes necessary. Central Collegiate is no exception to that rule, with the wooden floor of their gymnasium having become one of their most-pressing needs as it finally reaches its end point after nearly six decades of service. “The floor was built in 1961 and there’s some dead spots and our school division has done a really good job of repairing it, it’s safe for the students to use, but we’re approaching 60 years now so we’re hoping to get it replaced at some point soon,” said principal Stephane Gauvin as the Cyclones senior girls basketball team took the court against Assiniboia on Feb. 27. “We have very capable people at our school division and they make sure that

“It’s just like anything in life, it starts to get older and then it starts to break down a bit and has to be fixed,” Gauvin said. The school’s Strengthening our Legacy program has raised around $60,000 so far through more than 200 donors, with the plan to raise $125,000 and then apply for a matching grant from the school division. With the fundraising portion nearly halfway to its goal, it’s hoped work will begin in the near future, possibly as early as this summer. “But if it doesn’t happen this summer, we will just keep plugging away at our fundraising goals and keep looking for more generous people to help us out and eventually reach our goals,” Gauvin said. Potential donors can check out https:// schools.prairiesouth.ca/centralcollegiate or contact the school for more information.

Mavericks off to league final Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
Moose Jaw Mavericks head coach Stephane Gauvin expressed a bit of concern heading into their South Saskatchewan Female Hockey League Bantam A semifinals against the Regina Tigers. Even though his team put up a league-best 22-2-2 record, their opponent in the best-of-three battle had seen some success against the Mavericks, to the tune of a 7-2 victory and more recently a 4-4 tie. So if there were teams to be worried about in their quest for a league title, the Tigers were most certainly one of them. As it turned out, the Mavericks didn’t need to be too concerned. The local squad rolled to a 7-2 victory in Game 1 on Mar. 1 at the Bert Hunt Arena before capping the series off with a 4-1 win in Regina on Mar. 4 to advance to the league championship series. “We’re pretty happy with the result, that’s a good team we’re playing and the girls answered the challenge,” Gauvin said after Game 1. “We hadn’t beaten these guys, but the girls were ready to go and that was the difference.” Mavericks 7, Tigers 2 After a close first period saw the Mavericks nursing a 1-0 lead, three goals in the final 10 minutes of the second broke things open and gave the local squad some breathing room. Unlike their previous meetings with the Tigers, the Mavericks were plenty opportunistic this time around, taking advantage of almost every solid scoring chance they had on their way to the commanding win.
and Merriman added a solo marker as Moose Jaw built a 3-0 lead in Regina. The two teams exchanged goals in the second period – with Ellingson scoring for the Mavericks – but that would be as close as the game would get. Christmann had a relatively easy night in net, facing only 10 shots. The Mavericks will now await the winner of the other semifinal between the Regina Shamrocks and Parkland Crushers. The winner of the SSFHL advances to the provincial championship against the winner of the Northern league.
Chelsea DeGagne (18) of the Moose Jaw Mavericks battles for the puck in close quarters. For defenceman Keara Merriman – who finished the game with two goals and four assists – it was a matter of just keeping at what had brought them success all season. “We’d played well against them but we hadn’t beat them before, so we moved the puck and backchecked harder and played a strong overall game,” she said. Kaitlyn Gilroy, Makayla Anderson, Nikita Halyk, Ellie Gauvin and Sidney Ellingson all scored for Moose Jaw. Sydnee Christmann was the winning goaltender with 36 saves.

Warriors 7th Annual Snowbird Night
The Warriors 7th Annual “Snowbirds Night” will be Saturday, March 10th against the Swift Current Broncos. The theme of this year’s jersey pays tribute to Canada’s team in the air, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, and Canada’s World Junior team that captured gold at the 2018 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships. As well, the Warriors starting goaltender that evening will wear a special edition Snowbird themed mask designed by Jason Bartziokas with proceeds going to local charities. On January 29th, Brody Willms, Branden Klatt, and Brayden Burke flew over southern Saskatchewan with the Snowbirds. Throughout the course of the day the Warriors learned firsthand the pressures and expectations that come with being a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force 431 Air Demonstration Squadron. On February 17th members of the squadron took to the ice with the Warriors and then before the game on March 10th the players will welcome the squadron inside their locker room where they will see how the Warriors prepare. Members of the squadron will also be on the bench during warm-ups on “Snowbirds Night”. The auction for the special edition game-worn Snowbirds jerseys and goalie mask will begin at 6:00 p.m. and the auction will close at the start of the third period. All winning bids will be announced during the third period and the jerseys will be presented to the winners by the players after the game.
Cyclones close out regular season with wins
Assiniboia’s Courtney Svenson puts up a shot against Central.
Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
The Central Cyclones looked like a welloiled machine in their final game of the Moose Jaw high school boys basketball regular season and it couldn’t have come at a better time for the local squad. The new month brings with it the most important games of the season, and is often the rallying cry for coaches everywhere – it’s not how we’re playing now, it’s how we’re playing in March. For Central after their 122-70 win over the Assiniboia Rockets on Feb. 27, it’s looking as good as can be – the win ensured the Cyclones would cap the regular season undefeated with an 8-0 record and closed up first place. But that’s not nearly enough, says Grade 11 standout Kyle Boughen “It’s fun to go undefeated, but we want to keep going and push through to a provincial title,” he said after leading Central with 31 points in the contest. “We have regionals and Hoopla coming up and we want to win gold for Moose Jaw, that’s our goal overall.” Against the Rockets, the Cyclones continued their season-long strategy of essentially ‘rolling the lines’ with their five-on-five-off substitutions keeping the team fresh while still racking up points. “We have kids coming off the bench who could start on other teams in the city easily, they’re just as good if not better,” Boughen said. “I think they play just as hard as us and work just as hard as us and that’s why they’re so good when we go five-on-five-off... we can take anyone off the bench and they’re just as good as our starters are because anyone can come on and they’ll be an exact replica hopefully.”
Making the Cyclones even more dangerous is their universal offensive ability, as seen by the scorers from the regular season finale – Jaxon Brownell scored 24 points, Riley Seaborn 13, Hardil Khubber 12 and Ethan Johnson 10, giving Central five players in double figures.
“It’s fun to go undefeated, but we want to keep going and push through to a provincial title,”
-Kyle Boughen
“We pride ourselves on our defence, mostly, but when our offense is going well we can score,” Boughen said. “We’re not the tallest or the strongest, but we try to be fast and quick and score that way. That’s one of the reasons we can play like we do.” The Rockets’ Logan Fettes capped his impressive campaign with 32 points; Marcus Navalo added 14. Assiniboia (0-8) will now face Caronport (2-6) in the fourth-fifth place game on Mar. 6, with the winner of that game playing the Cyclones at Central on Mar. 8. Peacock (5-3) will face Vanier (5-3) in the other semifinal. In girls action, the Cyclones found themselves in a relatively close battle through the first quarter with only a six-point 1711 lead. Central turned up the defence after the break, through, outscoring Assiniboia 24-6 in the second to take a 4117 lead.
Seeing that kind of defence was exceptionally positive according to Grade 11 guard Katie Coulson, who capped the contest with seven points. “It feels really good, because you can’t win without good defence and it’s nice to do that well when we work hard,” she said. Nylah Seaborn and Kirstie Johnstone each scored 18 points for Central, Alexa Watterson added 16 and Ashlyn Jesse 10. The Cyclones finished the season with a 6-2 record and will face the Vanier Spirits (2-6) in their semifinal game on Mar. 8. “I think we’ve grown a lot since the start of the season,” Coulson said. “We’ve put a lot of work in and I’m proud of all of the girls and how they’ve played... we’ve come a long way, for sure. I think it’s pretty even where we’ve improved; defensively we’ve come a long way and offensively we’ve done a lot better, so we’re pretty happy with it and we’re looking forward to the playoffs.” Maura Belles led Assiniboia with 13 points. In Caronport, Spencer Adams scored 24 points to lead the Peacock Toilers to an 85-69 win in boys league play. Jude Shepherd Hills had 25 points for the Cougars. Peacock capped their season at an undefeated 8-0 with a 72-34 win in Caronport. Scoring information was unavailable. The Cougars will host Assiniboia in the fourth-fifth place game on Mar. 6, with the winner taking on Peacock in the semifinal on Mar. 8.

Four games in four provinces in five nights sees Tribe with single point lead on Broncos Randy Palmer
It’s not the kind of road trip you look forward to, by any stretch of the imagination. Four games in five nights in four different provinces, including a swing from Cranbrook, B.C. to Brandon, Man. The end result saw the Moose Jaw Warriors post a 2-2 record in Western Hockey League action last week, culminating with a 4-2 loss to the Wheat Kings before the Tribe returned home and rolled to a 5-1 win over the Blades. “It’s been a busy month, for sure,” said Warriors captain Brett Howden. “We’ve been on the run a lot lately with a lot of travel. There have been games where we’ve let down, so it’ll be good to have a chance to rest and recover. We’re looking forward to these games at home and finishing the regular season strong.” Warriors 5, Blades 1 Justin Almeida and Josh Brook each scored first period goals to give the Tribe an early 2-0 edge, the kind of quick production the team was hoping to see against a hungry opponent. So when the Blades found another gear and scored the only goal of the second period, it wasn’t much of a surprise to Warriors coach Tim Hunter. The Warriors took over midway through the third, shortly after Saskatoon had a goal disallowed for goaltender interference. Jayden Halbgewachs and Howden scored 34 seconds apart before Tristin Langan added an insurance marker shorthanded with three minutes remaining to give the Tribe the crucial win. The Warriors remain one point up on the Swift Current Broncos for first overall and hold a game in hand.
er goal as Brandon built a 3-0 lead in the first 14:51. Barrett Sheen got one back for the Tribe before the period was out, and Almeida pulled the Warriors within one midway through the third, but that would be as close as they’d get as Lewis finished off the hat trick to cap scoring in the contest. The Warriors outshot Brandon 43-21 in the game, including 21-7 in the third. Next action for the Tribe is Mar. 7 when they host the Lethbridge Hurricanes.
Saskatoon Blades goaltender Nolan Maier stops Warriors forward Tate Popple in clos. Brody Willms bounced back from being pulled early the night before in Brandon, making 25 saves to take the win, while Nolan Maier stopped 26 for Saskatoon.

Bed of Roses
By now the long-stemmed roses have wilted, the chocolates have gone to the hips and Valentine’s Day is a distant memory. There is a lot of emphasis on that one day in the year for love to flow but then that love seems to gooooo.... Big Sweet Pea and I were chatting about dating (or whatever you call it nowadays) and I mentioned I had sent a few love letters to her dad back in the day. Interested, we dug in my pine hope chest and found the ones Hubby had saved. Reading them through, we both got the giggles of what I had written. Nearing our wedding day, one had said something like, “I can’t wait to cook your meals and do your laundry.” I can imagine you were thinking what Hubby was thinking as he said, “I bet you regret that now!” And honestly, I can say that I really don’t mind for the most part. It’s a matter of attitude. Romantic love... beating hearts... and sweaty palms doesn’t happen much anymore. There is something about those first days of courtship that are special. Now after almost 24 years, I can say there is something more special about the days of marriage as we’ve waded through the disappointments, baggage and bumps along the way and made this institution of marriage work. I like to think that we’ve done some things right that have helped us keep keeping on. Here are a few small gestures that I believe have made a big difference: No matter how our day looks like or has been, I give Hubby a kiss at the door when he leaves and I greet him with a kiss when he comes home. If I’m leaving earlier than him or coming home later than him, we still find time for a kiss. Now, that doesn’t mean we’ve had a good day or are even friends with each other at that point, however, we’ve always chosen to do this regardless of our feelings. Another thing I have chosen not to do (and I think Hubby has for the most part) is to not go to bed angry. This is scriptural. If we go to bed angry, it gives the devil a wide open door to come in to do havoc in your marriage (Ephesians 4:26). We are intentional to sleep in the same bed, as well... no sleeping on the couch in our house. Another aspect is that when we are walking somewhere; anywhere – whether it is for everyday reasons or special occasions, we walk together. One may speed up or the other slows down... we just wait for each other. Hubby often offers his arm if there’s ice or uneven ground. We also do not make large decisions without the input from the other one. If we can’t come to agreement, we generally let it go and sleep on it. If we still come to a stall, I will generally submit to his idea and usually it works out in the end. Let go of expectations of each other; put your best foot forward and leave the rest. Forgive right off the top when you are hurt; unforgiveness is choosing to stay trapped in a jail cell of bitterness, serving time for someone else’s crime. Marriage is God’s way of making us more like Him; it gives us opportunity to walk in unconditional love, mercy and grace. The older we get the more like Jesus we should be becoming. Every inch of marriage is worth fighting for! Sow your seeds and don’t give up!

With a small measure of disdain, I received the snowfall that came without request on my end, especially at this time of year when sprouts should be springing forth shortly. A large measure of consolation is that the snow that just arrived is a huge blessing to the farmers, of which many were probably on their Joan Ritchie EDITOR knees praying for moisture. God heard your prayers and hopefully the planting and reaping seasons will produce abundance so that the economy will flourish in our fair province. Without a doubt, spring is soon on its way. Here are a few quotes and poems to lavish in, as the last few days of winter unthaw to a close for another year. Enjoy! “The snow doesn’t give a soft white damn whom it touches.” - E. E. Cummings “Every gardener knows that under the cloak of winter lies a miracle ... a seed waiting to sprout, a bulb opening to the light, a bud straining to unfurl. And the anticipation nurtures our dream.” - Barbara Winkler “The flowers of late winter and early spring occupy places in our hearts well out of proportion to their size.” - Gertrude S. Wister “If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant.” - Anne Bradstreet “There is a privacy about it which no other season gives you ..... In spring, summer and fall people sort of have an open season on each other; only in the winter, in the country, can you have longer, quiet stretches when you can savor belonging to yourself.” - Ruth Stout “Timeless thoughts of a winter’s stare; eyes gazing over a landscape bare. Memories drift on a blustery breeze; dying light ushers in the freeze. Reaching out for a grasp on the present; stillness sets in, alone, and desolate. Future unknown, outcome uncertain; brilliance shadowed by a drawn curtain. Path now set, laid before me known; closing light now emanating from home. Enter my homestead, heart filled with glee; two eyes of the future peering upward at me. Trusting in him to forge forward until fulfilled; Basis of strength, values I have instilled. A wary mind at last permitted to rest; reflecting on the realization of how I am blessed. - Michael A. Barron, Winter’s Epiphany “Over the land freckled with snow half-thawed The speculating rooks at their nests cawed And saw from elm tops, delicate as flower of grass, What we below could not see, Winter pass.” - Edward Thomas Send your letters to the editor to: letters@mjvexpress.com or 888-241-5291 All columns, letters to the editor and editorials are solely the personal opinions of the writers themselves and not necessarily the opinions of The Moose Jaw Express.

wish to express their heartfelt thank you to the many acts of kindness shown, the gifts of flowers and food in the last 2 weeks by staff at South Hill Fine Foods and Triple 4 Advertising, business partners from ICD and Pratts Wholesale and the communities of Hodgeville and Moose Jaw as we grieve the loss of our mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Thank you to Cynthia Brabant and your staff at Crescent Park Villa for making Mom`s home for 6 months bright and comfortable. A very special thank you to Heidi and the Paramedics for being with and attending to Mom`s call for help. Another very special thank you to James Murdock and his staff at Moose Jaw Funeral Home for your tender professional care at the loss of our mother. We really appreciated your care and your attention to every detail. The flower arrangement carrying the Urn bearing Mom`s ashes was stunning. Thank you Evans Florist. A wonderful tribute to her for her love of flowers. Mom was very happy that Cynthia Watson invited Deacon Rev Arlene Champion to visit her and bless her home in December, ultimately requesting that she preside at her funeral. We thank you Arlene. Thank you to the Ladies of the Hodgeville Branch of the Royal Purple for preparing sandwiches and dainties for lunch. Thanks to family and friends for paying your respect by travelling great distances, from Victoria to Winnipeg or making generous donations to the Anglican Church and The Heart and Stroke Foundation. Thank you, Rev George Archer (former priest in Hodgeville) for your condolence call from Trinidad. In loving memory
Kristin Bergen August 29, 1981 – March 5, 2012
You never said I’m leaving You never said Goodbye. You were gone before WE knew it And only God knows why. In Life we loved you dearly In death we love you still. In our hearts we hold a place That only you can fill. It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn’t go alone. A part of us went with you The day God took you home. In loving Memory The Florent Family.
Gordon Reginald Campbell Gordon Reginald Campbell of Avonlea passed away peacefully at Extendicare Moose Jaw, on Thursday, March 1, 2018 after a 5 year battle with cancer. Gordon was seeking to use medical assistance in dying, but passed away before it could take place; he wanted all to know that it was his intention, and that he was grateful to know it was available to him. Gordon was born on February 9, 1925 to A.N. Campbell (Sandy) and Eva Miller, on the SE quarter of S9 T12 R23 W2, southwest of Avonlea. At the age of 5, he started school at the nearby one-room country school named Sunshine School. In the fall of 1936, the school burned down and he and his siblings were sent to Avonlea School, a four-room two-storey brick school house. Gordon finished grade 12 at age 16 and started at the University of Saskatchewan, where he later graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Agricultural Engineering. Between his fourth and fifth year, he took a year off from school to help his father with farming. He enjoyed farm life and after graduation, when he did not find a job that appealed to him more than farming, his father was pleased to have him continue working with him. After Sandy’s retirement, Gordon and his brother Garnet farmed together until Gordon’s semi-retirement. Gordon loved to garden; while still a boy he helped his dad plant rows of evergreens which are of lasting beauty. He planted raspberry bushes, a small orchard with apple, pear and plum trees, and a variety of vegetables. Indoors, he grew beautiful African violets, which he gave away to friends and family. All his life he was into sports, especially baseball, golf, curling and hockey. He was a life-long fan of the Maple Leafs and Toronto Blue Jays. He curled with brothers Garnet, Don and Glen in the 1954 MacDonald Brier in Edmonton, finishing as runner-up. In later life, Gordon and Garnet and teammates won 4 Western Canadian Championship titles. In the 1955-56 hockey seasons he helped the Avonlea Arrows win the Saskatchewan Intermediate “C” Championship title. Gordon supported junior hockey by acting as a coach in the Avonlea Bantam Hockey League in the 1952 season. Gordon was named Saskatchewan Southern League Most Valuable Player and was the winner of the Scotty Melville Award as top pitcher for 1953, 1954, and 1955. He was an avid reader and wherever he went, so did one of his books. He loved music and taught himself to play the organ. He also collected artwork, including a few original paintings of birds and animals. Gordon was a kind, gentle, caring person who was truly an old-fashioned gentleman. Everyone who knew him commented on his gentleman-like personality. Gordon made a difference in the lives he touched. He loved to share his home to gatherings of the Campbell clan who travelled long distances to enjoy his hospitality. He was predeceased by his mother and father; sister Verna; brothers Don, Glen, Garnet, and Lloyd. He will be missed by his sister Margaret and her husband Archie Smith; his extended family Dave, Gina, Tara, Tricia, Jaren, Joel, and Curtis Miller; two sisters-inlaw; many nieces and nephews and countless friends who are better for having known this gentleman. His family would like to thank the staff at Extendicare for their care and compassion to Gordon. At Gordon’s request there will be no funeral. He will be cremated, and in a private ceremony, his ashes will be scattered on his farm where his brothers’ ashes were spread. In lieu of flowers, please write your MLA and MP and petition that the laws surrounding assisted dying are changed so that everyone’s final wishes can be granted. Arrangements are entrusted to Parkview Funeral Chapel, 474 Hochelaga St. W, Moose Jaw, SK.

FISCHER It is with heavy hearts that the family of Katherine Fischer announce her passing on Tuesday, February 13th, 2018 at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital, at the age of 86 years. She is reunited with Dad, who passed away only last year. Kathy was born in Kelstern, SK, on Friday, August 14th, 1931 to Steve and Ludwina Zbadynski. She was the eldest of their three children and assumed many responsibilities early. She was learning English in school and teaching her parents to speak and write in English. It seems it was her destiny that she became a teacher. When the family moved to Moose Jaw, Kathy attended King Edward Elementary School and Central Collegiate High School. She took her training to become a teacher at Normal School, where she played mandolin in the school orchestra. Her first teaching job was in Bayard, south of Moose Jaw. She embraced the challenges of living in the country and gained the respect of the community. The following year, she took a position in Dunkirk, SK. During her second year, while coming home to Moose Jaw, she met a handsome young man on the train. That man was John Fischer and that began a romance that lasted over 63 years! John and Kathy were married in Moose Jaw in 1953 at the Church of Our Lady. They raised three daughters in the house that they built at 1059 Coteau Street. Kathy and John had many friends and hobbies. They worked hard gardening and canning. Kathy was a great cook and she liked to feed people (and their dogs). She enjoyed reading ANYTHING, fiction and non-fiction. She enjoyed the challenge of a big crossword puzzle and liked to involve the family as she would read aloud the clues. She also used to knit and crochet. Kathy was active in various organizations including the Westmount Home and School, the CWL, Church of Our Lady Parish Council, the Moose Jaw Horticultural Society, T.O.P.S, and the New Democratic Party. She did all of this while teaching full-time, at a time when many women didn’t work outside the home. Kathy’s teaching career spanned 30 years, teaching a wide variety of subjects and grades. Kathy’s family, friends and former students will forever treasure her memory. She was predeceased by her husband, John; infant son, Randy; son-in-law, Paul Toupin; her parents; and sister, Stella McKenzie. Kathy is survived by her three daughters: Joan (Kelly) Popoff, Julie (Alan) Thiessen, and Denise Toupin; eight grandchildren: Orin (Sara), Chloe (Greg), Rory (Ashley), Tashia, Joel, Anita (Codey), Mitch (Alex), and Kaitlin; her six great-grandchildren; brother, John Stevens; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. The Funeral Mass was celebrated on Wednesday, February 21st, 2018 at 11:00 am in Church of Our Lady, 566 Vaughan St, Moose Jaw, SK. Interment will take place at Rosedale Cemetery. A Prayer Service was held on Tuesday, February 20th, 2018 at 7:00 pm in Moose Jaw Funeral Home. Flowers are gratefully declined. As an expression of sympathy, donations in Kathy’s name may be made to The Canadian Diabetes Association, 917A Albert St, Regina, SK S4R 2P6 or to the Church of Our Lady Building Fund, 566 Vaughn St, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 6L3. Thank you to the wonderful caregivers at West Park Crossing, the Maguire Centre and the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane.
