Traffic Safety Reward Program Moose Jaw RCMP have initiated a Traffic Safety Reward Program in partnership with SGI and three local businesses in Moose Jaw, Tim Hortons, Taco Time and TCBY. Over the past few weeks, some drivers in the Moose Jaw district were curious as to why the RCMP pulled behind them with their emergency lights flashing when they were stopped safely on the side of the road. Each driver was pleasantly surprised and appreciative when the RCMP Officer gave them a gift card to either Tim Hortons, Taco Time or TYCB for having pulled over to use their mobile device. Gift cards have also been given out to drivers for demonstrating other good driving
habits i.e. coming to a complete stop and not proceeding until it is safe to do so, proper lane change, signalling, driving the speed limit etc. The goal of this initiative is to reward drivers who are demonstrating good driving habits as they are contributing to road safety. In addition, the RCMP requests that drivers pass along their experience to other drivers which will encourage others to make good and safe decisions while driving. Moose Jaw RCMP want to thank SGI, Tim Hortons, Taco Time and TYCB in Moose Jaw for their contribution in this initiative.

Commercial property assessment appeal process outlined at session
Serving Southern Saskatchewan
By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express
A veteran property assessor says the Saskatchewan property assessment system has become so complex that it creates inequities in value. “The assessors will tell you it has become a system of winners and losers,” Archie Fieldgate of the Altus Group consultants told about 25 local business people. “There should be no losers. It should become fair and equitable,” said Fieldgate, who has more than 50 years of experience in assessment. His associate Ryan Simpson said part of the last reassessment process is a heavier emphasis on statistical testing using something called multiple regression analysis. “They use backwards regression analysis in determining sales on commercial properties.” Archie Fieldgate, left, Ryan Simpson The analysis involves “a combination of variables thrown into a mix and using statistical thresholds determining where and if breaks are warranted for age, location, property type, etcetera.” The Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) developed a comprehensive rental analysis with a focus on Yorkton, Moose Jaw, Weyburn and Estevan with adjustments made for average rent differences and other variables. One formula determines value by a multiplier of the base rate times square feet of the property. “We’ve seen a need for more information and better facts and better explanation at how they arrived at your assessment,” said Simpson, urging owners to comply with SAMA requests for data. Failure to comply loses the owner the right to appeal assessment and can result in fines of $5,000 or $10,000. Fieldgate said SAMA is very protective of data and is appealing a court ruling that it must disclose data for appeals. One property owner said the market cap rate around six per cent determining commercial property value is “ridiculously high.” Simpson said an eight per cent rate for Moose Jaw is more realistic. Value of a property generating $20,000 net income at a six per cent cap rate is $330,400. That value at an eight per cent cap rate is $250,000 — a 32 per cent difference. Fieldgate said SAMA has become more aggressive in appealing board of revision and municipal board decisions because the municipalities ask for appeals to keep the tax base up. The Altus Group filed over 2,300 property assessment appeals in Saskatchewan last year. Many are still under appeal or in the courts. The group has various options for payment, fee per hours, a fee of 50 per cent on first year tax savings, or a combination. Rod Van Slyck, who organized the information session in Moose Jaw, said owners don’t mind paying property taxes if they are fair. Property taxes have become the “number one line expense” in recent years.

In my office it is a topic of concern, as well. “How long is it going to take for me to get better? How many visits will it take? How often will I have to come in?â€? For many who begin exercising, the question may be, “How long will it take for me to notice a difference?‌.to lose weight?‌to put on muscle?â€? I have met numerous patients in my office who have tried chiropractic care in the past, admitting that it had not worked for them, but wanted to try again. I will always ask these patients how many times they saw the chiropractor before they quit their care. Many times, I will hear the patient say they tried chiropractic once or twice and discontinued care because “it just didn’t help meâ€? There are likely many of you out there who “tried exerciseâ€?, but quit because you were not seeing results after the first 3 weeks. Countless people have quit diets or quit taking supplements much too early just because “it just wasn’t working for meâ€?.
Part of my work involves filling out insurance forms for some of my patients. There are often questions on these forms asking how long or how many treatments it is expected to achieve recovery from their client’s particular injury. “Eight to 12 weeks�, “16 to 20 treatments�, every case is unique unto itself but the key word is “expectations�. For a better outcome, it is important to give patients an idea of the proper expectations for improvement. What should the patient expect to feel after 1 week, 4 weeks or even 12 weeks of care, if necessary? The same holds true for exercise programs and diets. What are the expectations going forward? When the expectations are made known from the beginning and they are realistic, there is a better chance for finishing programs or plans for care. “Rome wasn’t built in a day� and “Quitters never prosper�. Have patience, persevere and you will enjoy the fruits of your labour.

‘PIGS’ Concert dynamic night of Pink Floyd music
Cattle buyer scam aimed at producer’s sense of trust For Agri-Mart Express
There’s a scam out there targetting cattle producers, with some in Alberta and other parts of Canada getting hit. Based on exploiting trust, the scam runs like this. A person planning to buy cattle mentions during the negotiations they will be responsible for transporting the cattle. Following several e-mails discussing the deal, the breeder is sent an authentic looking cheque for the cattle. The cheque is followed by notification the order has been changed and a request for a partial refund with instruction to deposit it in an account number provided to the breeder. The breeder pays the refund which is the scammer’s profit. The authentic looking cheque comes back NSF. The RCMP is investigating. Up to March 6 RCMP had no report of this scam in Saskatchewan. The Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association suggests producers use their best judgment when dealing with new or unknown buyers. Some hints include: — Be cautious; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. — Use your right to check out any buyer by getting written information, a call back number and references. — Ask for and confirm details about the buyer. — While banks may give you cash for the cheque it may take weeks to clear the cheque. You are responsible for any missing money. To report a fraud call your local RCMP or call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

‘PIGS’ Canada’s Pink Floyd tribute band was in town in late February and they did the iconic band Pink Floyd proud with their legendary psychedelic renditions. It was easy to see what generation was captured by their music; almost everyone attending was a little gray between the ears except for a smattering of younger Pink Floyd music fans. London’s Pink Floyd made their mark in the mid60s-‘70s, achieving international acclaim with their philosophical lyrics and sonic experimentation of music. Their live show brought them to a place of notoriety and they are regarded as one of the most commercially successful and influential groups in modern music history. I was dumbfoundedly-impressed as to how PIGS provides an authentic experience, very much like I would have expected that Pink Floyd produced during their era on stage. Being familiar with many of their popular tunes like ‘Money’ and ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ and a few others, while appreciating their music on occasion, Pink Floyd music wasn’t exactly where I lived in the day. PIGS, the band themselves, are seasoned musicians and revealed their instrumental detail and
vocal prowess as they mimicked the band to perfection. The interesting and thought -provoking visuals and vibrant light show nailed the evening as a concert well-worth attending.
TRADING THOUGHTS
Snow dump in Moose Jaw and province recalls boyhood memories
by Ron Walter
Looking out the window at the season’s worth of snow dumped on us in two days caused some reflection on days past. Seventy years ago this Scribbler was a boy living in the middle of nowhere in southern Alberta – a boy completely unaware that he and his family, all of the Prairies, were experi-
encing a most terrible winter. That winter was only outdone by the following 1948-49 season when the trains were so deep in snow only steam from the engine could be seen by bystanders. Our winter 70 years ago was so sunny with pure white snow. On many a day those rings around the sun were
pretty, too. The snow was so deep my pet dog, a German shepherd/ Irish setter cross, stumbled in the pasture cover. The coyotes, evidently short of food, crowded around the yard in a pack looking for a morsel to fight over. In broad daylight they came within a few yards (metres) of the house. Of course, my dog the hunter took the challenge, ploughing into the snow to chase them. The dog was slowed down by the deep snow. Just a little ways ahead a coyote waited for him. Usually coyotes feared my dog. When my dog gave chase my father and uncle realized this was a trap. Another coyote was making its way over a little knoll towards the unfolding scene as my pet dog came upon the waiting coyote. They were going to kill my dog and eat him for lunch. Or they thought they were. My father went into the locked “sewing room” for the .303 rifle and some shells. Warning shots would scare the coyotes away. Before the gun could be fired my dog met the rebel coyote, leapt on it and sank his teeth into the wild writhing

animal. Moments of struggle later the coyote was dead. The oncoming varmint stopped in its path, turned and trotted back up the little knoll on the path it has just ploughed. My dog was a family hero. Indeed, word spread through the district that my dog was a coyote hunter. As I grew older, I sometimes wondered why my dog didn’t crunch my bones when I was small; I was pretty rough with him. That winter, like most, we stayed at home, making the occasional trip of eight miles to town. My uncle rode into town on horseback once in a while to get the mail. When I got to go to town, it was in the horse-drawn sleigh snuggled down in quilts and blankets with a hot rock near my feet. If it wasn’t too windy on the way back, I was allowed to stand up and see all the snow around us. We had no fridge, no deep freeze. We survived on jars of home-canned meat, veggies, fruit, eggs from our hens and the odd grouse we shot. Today that kind of snow almost paralyzes the modern community. And this era is called progress.

MJ & District Food Bank seeks volunteers Sasha-Gay Lobban
The Moose Jaw & District Food Bank is looking to strengthen its organization by improving strategic planning and adding to its Board of Directors as the Food Bank is seeing an increase in the number of people that rely on its coffers each year. At an informational meeting at the Food Bank on Tuesday, February 27th, the Board of Directors put out a call to the community for members to join the Food Bank as volunteers, whether to serve on the Board or volunteer at the warehouse. Brian Harrison, chair of the Board of Directors at the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank says as the organization look to improve its role in the community, they are seeking assistance from residents who would like to be part of the team. He added that they also want the community to be fully aware of the Food Bank and how much it helps the wider community. “One of our goals is to make the community fully aware of the Food Bank regarding what we do and who we help, but we also want people to know that there are opportunities for them to come and help us on the board,” he said. “We also want them to know that they can volunteer to help at the Food Bank, whether it’s one day of the week or month and with our food drives. There are lots of opportunities here that people can be part of.
Brian Harrison, chair of the Board of Directors at the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank. For example, the food drive that we have on October 31, we usually have well over 450 people. That is a big drive. Our board is made up of about seven people, but we can have up to 16 persons, so we have lots of vacancies for people to join the board if that’s something they’d love to do. We’re also thinking about a fundraising sub-committee that we’d love to get going and welcome applications to join us.” The community is also encouraged to come out

to the Food Bank’s Annual General Meeting which will be held on Tuesday, March 27 at the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank located at 305 Fairford St. W (entrance on 3rd Ave NW). The meeting will start at 2:00 p.m. and will give persons an opportunity to learn more about the organization. Last year, the Food Bank underwent major renovations where shelves were installed and space was made available, that enabled them to carry-out their services more efficiently. On a tour of the facility, Assistant Manager Deann Little said the renovations were an immense help. “We’re now able to get things in and out quickly, in an efficient manner. It is also a better environment for our clients and affords them more privacy when they come. It is not congested, and we are able to work a lot better so we’re very happy with the space we have now.” They said, however, a new location is something they are looking to retain over the next 5 years. The Food Bank provides assistance every week to young children, students, working families and the elderly. They say persons from all aspects of life use the Food Bank on a weekly basis. According to 2017 data provided by the MJ & District Food Bank about persons who benefit; 36% are chil-

Battle of the Books great way to get students excited about reading Sasha-Gay Lobban
As the Holy Trinity Catholic School Division Elementary Schools prepare for the 4th annual Battle of the Books, the division hosted a luncheon to thank its sponsors for supporting this exciting event. The sponsors were treated for lunch and were also given a glimpse into Battle of the Books at Vanier Collegiate on Tuesday, March 5. The 4th annual Battle of the Books will be held on Friday, March 16 at the Mae Wilson Theatre. The event will see Grades 3-5 and Grades 6-8 students battle it out using their wits about the books they have read. The students read up to 10 books and their knowledge of those books are then tested in the Battle of the Books. Grades 3-5 students will battle it out at 10:30-11:30 a.m. while Grades 6-8 students will put their wits to the test at 1:00-2:00 p.m. Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Consultant, Jodie Bzdel says the division is excited to host the event again this year. “This our 4th annual Battle of the Books. It is where teams come together from each of the schools in the Holy Trinity School Division. The students have

CORNER Deduct This The unpleasant experience is right up there with a visit to the dentist or the loss of someone near and dear. Unfortunately, this is a yearly event and can be stressful by Dale “bushy” and sometimes Bush outright painful. I am lamenting that not only will I have to get my taxes prepared I will probably need to cash in my RBCRF (Registered Beer Can Retirement Fund) to pay for the preparation and owed taxes. If you only knew how dedicated I am to increasing the size of my RBCRF by supporting local beer stores and breweries you would understand my stress. Some smartypantsknowitallguy once said that there are two things in life that are certain…death and taxes, and another smartypantsknowitallguy said that regardless of how rich or successful you are, we are equals when we are six feet under the sod. I am a good-looking smartypantsknowitallguy who thinks that we can all be equals before
we are buried by paying equal taxes and not hiding behind tax shelters, offshore holdings and loopholes. Those one-percenters could make a difference if they paid their fair share, but there are many deductions available to us regular tax payers that can be easily overlooked and may apply to you. Did you know there is a deduction available if you moved to be closer to getting work? That deduction can also apply if you moved to start a business and when you do start a business every penny is valuable. If you are self-employed, there are many deductions that can make a difference; there are even more if you work from home: Things like office supplies and space, internet and communication connections and even portions of the hydro, gas and electric. If you do have a small business or are self-employed, the Tax Guy likes to see a reason for being self-employed or doing business. That reason is profit, otherwise why be in business? There are times when losses do occur and can be claimed but there are definitely limits. If you or a dependant has medical costs they can be used as a deduction, providing they are non-reimbursable, keep your receipts even if they are from the medical marijuana dispensaries. If you have a prescription for whatever ails you, you basically have a deduction. Though medical marijuana has been legal in Canada since 2012, people are just becoming aware that claiming the medicine can be a deduction. As so many smartypantsknowitallguys

answers but speed as well.” “Battle of the Books is a really wonderful way to get kids excited about reading,” says Bzdel. “It’s also a way to give back to the community because these students are our future. They become literate and excited at the same time as they read and learn.” Bzdel thanked the sponsors whom she says have been great supporters of the event this year. “We hosted this luncheon to thank our community sponsors for the Battle of the Books. We just wanted to say a big thank you to our sponsors for all their support to help literacy in our school division.” This year’s Battle of the Book sponsors are: Moose Jaw Chamber of Commerce who donated $1,000 and the Moose Jaw Literacy donated $500. The Moose Jaw Public Library put together kits with all the books the students are reading and sent them out to all the schools. They also had extra books at the library that students had access to while the Saskatchewan Festival of Words is bringing in a Canadian author to host the Battle of the Books and to also visit schools to do presentations and a writing workshop for teachers.
have said before, with regards to these changing tax deductions and changing cannabis laws, “Use but don’t abuse”. A lot of older folks I know seem to be getting olderer (a real word…now) and are having more difficulty being mobile and may require some renovations to their homes; those expenses can be deductible. To claim accessibility deductions, the old folks must be at least 65 years or have proven disabilities. Some allowable deductions are for things like wheelchair ramps and door-widening. I hope that the older folks who have medical marijuana prescriptions and are in wheelchairs do not get too radical or crazy on their new tax-deductible ramps or there could be a new Seniors Olympic sport...freestyle wheelychairing. Far out old dudes! For the briefest of silly moments, I actually considered doing my own taxes. After consideration, I decided that there are many cases for using a professional. I know where my limitations are…If I needed open heart surgery, chances are pretty good I would mess it up if I did it myself, even with the help of Google and Youtube, so this year as in the past years, I will have an expert prepare my taxes…Mrs. B.

St. Pat r i c k’s D ay : a re a s o n to c e l e b r ate By Joyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express
In addition to the first day of spring, the month of March also provides another reason to celebrate — St. Patrick’s Day — a day to applaud all things that are Irish. This week’s recipes offer some ideas for preparation of an Irish meal — whether traditional or improvised. And in preparation for the celebration, “may your thoughts be as glad as shamrocks, may your heart be as light as a song, may each day bring you bright, happy hours that stay with you all year long.” — Irish proverb. •••
Irish Potato Bread (Farl)
2/3 cup flour 1/2 tsp. baking powder pinch of salt 2 tbsps. butter 1/2 cup mashed potatoes 2 tbsps. milk scallions, if desired Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Rub in butter using your fingertips until mixture resembles dry breadcrumbs. Add in a handful of scallions, if using, and mix. Stir in potatoes and enough milk to make a soft but not loose dough. On a floured board, roll out dough into a round about 1/2 inch thick. Mark into quarters without cutting through completely. Place on a greased baking tray and bake at 200 degrees F for about 20 minutes until golden on top. Serve hot with butter and jam. •••

Place lamb, salt and pepper and flour in a large bowl and toss to coat meat. Reheat frying pan and in batches, brown the lamb in reserved fat. Supplement fat with vegetable oil if necessary. Transfer meat to a 10 quart pot, leaving about 1/4 cup fat in frying pan. Add garlic and onion to frying pan and saute until onion begins to colour a bit. Add to the lamb along with bacon pieces, beef stock and sugar. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 hours until meat is tender. Add other ingredients, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add more salt and pepper if desired. Stew may be made the day before serving and reheated until warmed through. Serve with soda bread. •••

March is Agriculture Month A rainbow in the sky is God’s promise that the earth will never be covered by a flood again. Looking out the window, I wonder if the promise excluded snow! The recent snowfall is just what our local farmers and ranchers have been hoping and praying for, as it provides some much-needed moisture for the 2018 growing season. It is several weeks before our growing season begins, but it is still a good time to bring awareness to where our food comes from. March has been proclaimed Agricultural Literacy Month and Rural Women’s Month. It is a positive time to promote how agriculture benefits life in Saskatchewan. Since 2012, Agriculture in the Classroom – Canada has been working collectively to declare one week in early March as Canadian Agriculture Week. Last year agriculture literacy was expanded and is being celebrated with events and activities for the entire month. It brings farmers, ranchers and other members of the agriculture industry into elementary school classrooms around the province to read stories and discuss their agricultural experiences. Because many young people grow up in cities and larger communities, and aren’t involved in farming. Programs like these are important to strengthen understanding of agriculture and the community involvement in putting food in their lunchboxes. Women who live and work in our rural and farming communities play a significant role in shaping the future of our province. The province proclaims March as Rural Women’s Month to recognize the impact women make on agriculture and our economy as a whole. According to the 2016 Canadian Agriculture Census, one in four farm operators in Saskatchewan is a woman. These women are part of a growing trend across
the country. In Warren Michelson, MLA Canada, women, account for 28.7 per cent of producers, up from 27.4 per cent in 2011. This commemorative month has evolved since the 1990s, beginning as just a week and eventually turning into a month-long celebration. The month is observed by women’s groups across Saskatchewan as they celebrate and recognize the contributions rural women make to the province. The significance of Agriculture Month goes beyond an appreciation for Agriculture. During March, Saskatchewan producers are well into planning for the 2018 season. Crop Insurance is an important part of that planning. Recently Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart announced details of the 2018 Crop Insurance Program. Saskatchewan producers will have access to very high coverage as the Crop Insurance Program continues to improve, as a result of the success of Saskatchewan farmers and ranchers. There are a number of enhancements for the Crop Insurance Program this year. Fire insurance for pastureland, more crops to be insured under the Contract Price Option and increased compensation rates for cattle lost due to predators are new options for 2018. The average premium for 2018 is $8.41 per acre, down slightly from $8.51 per acre in 2017. We have the whole month of March to acknowledge the importance of agriculture, to thank an agricultural producer and to recognize the important role of rural women. The snow has been inconvenient for some of us, and it looks nothing like a rainbow, but it is a hopeful sign of a successful growing season, which is good for everyone in Saskatchewan.

Leave the phone alone! MJ Emergency groups increase awareness on distracted driving Sasha-Gay Lobban
“Leave the phone alone!” was the message emergency groups had for students as they ramp up awareness surrounding distracted driving and its long-term impact across the province. The Moose Jaw RCMP, Moose Jaw Fire Department (MJFD), Moose Jaw & District EMS and Moose Jaw Police Service once again provided a Distracted Driving Awareness Program aimed at high school students. The program began on Thursday, March 1 at Vanier Collegiate. The emergency groups came together with students to make a presentation that explored increase incidents of distracted driving in the province and how it affects the lives of everyone, not only victims. Reiterating the message to “leave the phone alone” and “staying connected could disconnect your life”, brought a chilling and thought-provoking message to take seriously. Sgt. Tim Shwartz, Detachment Commander at the Moose Jaw RCMP says this year marks the second year the groups have done this, and it is a crucial message to bring across. “We have a strong partnership amongst the emergency services team here in Moose Jaw. All of us as emergency

If you are an experienced river, you have the ability under that authorization to press your button on your phone or your Bluetooth to answer a call, but you are NOT to initiate a call. The fine is $280 and there’s four (4) demerit points added to your license. If you are caught within a 12-month period for a second offence or more, that vehicle will be impounded for seven (7) days.” The emergency groups hope that by Emergency groups team up to bring awareness on distracted driving at Vanier Col- spreading awareness, students would be legiate.

Members of the Communities in Bloom Committee, Mary Evers, Sarah Regent and Leslie Cornell at their recent meeting to explore ideas for this year’s projects.
Help Beautify the City Sasha-Gay Lobban
The Moose Jaw Communities in Bloom Program Committee is inviting locals and the business community or other organizations to join them as they aim to continue to beautify the city. They want to make Moose Jaw one of the most beautiful cities to visit and they need your help to do so. At a meeting held on Tuesday, March 6, the committee outlined several ways in which individuals and organizations can participate in increasing the aesthetics of Moose Jaw. Communities in Bloom is a national non-profit organization committed to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification through community involvement and the challenge of a national program, with a focus on enhancing green spaces in communities. Participating communities form their own committees to work towards these objectives locally. Judging happens late July to mid-August, giving committees the opportunity to showcase their community and obtain feedback on their progress in 6 categories - tidiness, environmental action, heritage conservation, urban forestry, landscape and floral displays. Anyone can become involved in this program and discuss potential projects for 2018. “We welcome anyone interested in being involved with Communities in Bloom, either as part of the committee or as a volunteer,” said Sarah Regent who is
with the city’s Parks and Recreation. “We want people to get involve in this because it is not just plants but there are other aspects that go with it like sustainability and heritage conservation, awareness and it extends year-round. We’d like people to come to the meetings and explore ideas on projects they’d like to get going regarding what we will be showcasing to the judges and look at areas of the city that needs attention. If we have more manpower, then we can take on projects that could enhance the city’s beauty. For example, we’d like to get into some flower planting and community clean-up projects. Persons can become involved individually or in a group if they want,” she explained. “This basically shows Moose Jaw pride and that you want to be involved in making our community the place to visit, live and do business. It will also boost our tourism aspect because of the beauty of our city. There’s no long-term commitment; we just want people to come out and share their ideas on what improvements they’d like to see or projects we can do together,” added Leslie Cornell of Cornell Design & Landscaping. For more information, you can find them at Communities in Bloom on Facebook or email cibmoosejaw@ gmail.com. The next Communities in Bloom meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 8th at 5pm, Chrysalis Café.

Tired, degraded soil saved by injection of cocktail crops By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express
AGRIMART
EXPRESS About five years ago, producers in the Peace River Block of Northern Alberta sought advice on something called cocktail crops. Years of continuous cropping had degraded their soils. To get a decent crop meant buying and applying lots of fertilizer and substantial spraying for weeds. The producers at Manning, Alberta wanted to know if there were another way to grow a crop and improve soils at a lower cost. Since then more farmers, particularly younger operators, are warming to the idea of cocktail crops. Cocktail crops are a variety of broadleaf plants and grasses, both warm season and cool season, planted together in a field. The idea behind cocktail crops is to improve nitrogen fixations, reduce soil erosion, reduce soil compaction from heavy machinery, improve water saturation and cut down on weeds. The cocktail mix injects soil with different root systems in different zones of
Sanfoin crop
soil to different parts of the soil. One Southern Alberta farmer seeds a mixture of sanfoin, vetch, alfalfa, soft tall grass, orchard grass and brome. Laura Paulovich of the North Peace Applied Research Association told a farm media outlet that cocktail crops are a shift away from the “quick fix” of applying more fertilizer and herbicide. “Patience is the biggest factor,” she said.
Improvements in the soil will take time. A five-year study on cocktail crops at the Lethbridge Research station showed a net gain of $20 an acre profit on canola the year after. And a 30 per cent yield increase in wheat was registered. Saltcoats farmer and agrologist Kevin Elmy tried a tillage radish cocktail mix six years ago, seeding tillage radish to build soil microbial content.
When he planted corn the year after, the yield was six tonnes an acre more than on a non-radish field. Two years out of five, says the Saskatchewan farmer, cocktail crops work wonders. Two years are okay, and one is a failure, but the two great years make it all worthwhile. Cost of a cocktail crop is estimated at $100 an acre, not including the loss of one harvest. Some benefits are hard to measure, thus keeping farmers from trying this way. How do you measure the increase in water saturation? One per cent increased organic matter holds another 45,000 gallons of water an acre. One agrologist suggests combining cocktail crops with zero till, plant diversity, and livestock grazing to better manage soil health at less expense. Farmers interested in these crops can get a better idea of how they work by talking to someone who has used this system. This system has been used for years in New Zealand and Australia and by organic farmers. Ron Walter can be reached at ronjoy@ sasktel.net

Public Works conference offers education, networking Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
More than 100 delegates from the Saskatchewan Public Works Association were in Moose Jaw as part of the organization’s annual conference, taking part in a host of educational workshops and networking opportunities offered by the governing body for public works in the province. The conference – entitled Leadership in Planning for Tomorrow – ran from Feb. 27 to Mar. 1 and featured courses involving everything from provincial disaster assistance information to pump teardown for water and sewer and asphalt patching equipment workshops. “It’s all about public works, so we try to cover all the different disciplines, a lot of different things and different areas,” said SPWA president Dale Petrun of Saskatoon. “We had some continuing education sessions, too, certified operators need so many units every year to maintain their certification so that’s something that goes along with the conference.” Having the chance to exchange ideas is also a major part of the event, especially given how many SPWA members come from communities of different sizes. “Often issues a small community has are issues many small communities have,” Petrun explained. “So it’s a chance to sit down and shorten the learning curve, which

is always a benefit.” Canadian Public Works Association president Andrew Stevenson was also on hand for the week and echoed Petrun’s sentiment. “I’ve been around to a lot of different chapters and it’s the grassroots people with the networking and education that’s extremely important,’ he said. “So it’s the small towns learning from the cities and the cities learning from the small towns because there are some things they do better as well.
“...we want to make sure that when we’re needed we’re able to do the best job we can. That’s what makes this conference so important...” - SPWA president Dale Petrun
City of Moose Jaw director of engineering Josh Mickleborough is presented the Professional Manager of the Year award for Administrative Management by SPWA president Dale Petrun.
“And it’s an overall education from them when it comes to new technology and things coming out.” A major part of the conference is the trade show – dubbed PWville – which was set up in the Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre for the first two days. “We had 41 suppliers with booths, some from Alberta and Manitoba and others from in Saskatchewan, some

local ones also. It was a nice variety of equipment and services,” Petrun said. “A lot of it is building relationships, so you might meet a vendor and they’ll remember your face and vice versa, they’ll be someone you can go to if you need something.” The conference also featured an awards night on Tuesday – where City of Moose Jaw director of engineering Josh Mickleborough and City of Moose Jaw public work supervisor Staci Dobrescu were both honoured – as well as a curling funspiel on Wednesday. All in all, the week ended up being exceptionally informative and offered an important opportunity when it came to the recognition of what public works is all about. “No one really think of public works unless the water doesn’t turn on or your toilet doesn’t flush or your garbage doesn’t get picked up,” Stevenson said. “That’s when it’s important, and we want to make sure that when we’re needed we’re able to do the best job we can. That’s what makes this conference so important, because public works is so vast, from the people who are mowing grass to the people who are at the cemetery and with water treatment... you have to cover all those different areas. This gives us a chance to work on a lot of that in a short time.”

Replica set of medals presented at DV Currie VC Armoury Following World War II, Currie spent eight years in Baie Comeau, Quebec as the maintenance superintendent for the Quebec North Shore Paper Company. In 1953 he moved to Montreal where he held management positions with Bonnar Equipment and National Harvester. In 1959 Currie was appointed Sergeant-of-Arms of the House of Commons by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker. He held that position for seventeen years. Currie also served as vice-chairman of the Victoria Cross and George Cross Association (Overseas). David Currie died on 20 June 1986 in Ottawa. He was buried in Owen Sound, Ontario, the home of his wife, the former Isabel Civil. A plaque to his memory was unveiled at Queen’s Park in Owen Sound on 01 July 1989
The presentation picture includes Lto R: LCol Harvey Ross, former CO, Major Gillian Dulle, current CO of the Sask Dragoons, Major Chris Hunter-former CO, Major Brad Hrycyna-Former CO and making the presentation on behalf of the Sask Dragoon” senate, and Major Bill Green-former CO. A presentation was made on February 28th 2018 of the replica medals that were presented at the DV Currie VC armoury. Replica medals of LCol David V Currie VC were presented recently to the Commanding Officer of the Sask Dragoons, Major Gillan Dulle, by Major (retired) Brad Hrycyna on behalf of the senate of the Sask Dragoons. The senate is composed of former commanding officers and regimental Sgt Majors of the unit. The replica set of medals were commissioned for presentation to the unit as the originals are no longer with the Currie family; it was felt that there should be the connection should be maintained with the Victoria Cross recipient and the unit he first joined as a soldier and was the first Honourary Colonel of. The set will be on display in the armoury. Major D.V. Currie VC The Lone Recipient of the Victoria Cross for the C.A.C. in the Second World War David Vivian Currie was born in Sutherland, Saskatchewan on 08 July 1912. The family lived in Moose Jaw
Saskatchewan from 1913 to 1939 where he attended King George Public School and Central Collegiate. Following his formal education, Currie attended the Moose Jaw Technical School where he was trained as an automobile mechanic and welder. Following service in the Militia, he joined the Canadian Army with the rank of lieutenant on 30 January 1940. He was promoted to Captain in April 1941 and was posted to the Royal Canadian Engineers training school at Dundern, Saskatchewan. A matter of months later, he was posted to the Canadian Armoured Corps training school at Camp Borden, Ontario. In May 1942 Currie joined the 29th Armoured Regiment (The South Alberta Regiment) which was a unit of 4th Canadian Armoured Division, and embarked for the United Kingdom in August 1942. The South Alberta Regiment was converted to 4th Canadian Armoured Division’s armoured reconnaissance regiment in early 1943 and it landed in Normandy on 24 July 1944. Currie had been promoted to Major in March 1944, and commanded “C” Squadron of the South Albertas.

The War Medal was awarded to all full-time personnel of the armed forces and merchant marines for serving for 28 days between 03 September 1939 and 02 September 1945. In the Merchant Navy, the 28 days must have been served at sea. The award was established on 16 August 1945.
Eligibility and Criteria The Victoria Cross is awarded for most conspicuous bravery or some daring or pre-eminent act of valour, self-sacrifice or extreme devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy The 1939-1945 Star
Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Medal (1953)

The Defence Medal
Historical Notes •There were 29,500 issued, of which 8,500 went to the Canadian Armed Forces.
Eligibility and Criteria Although the medal was usually awarded to Canadians for six months service in Britain between 03 September 1939 and 08 May 1945, the exact terms were: Service in the forces in nonoperational areas subjected to air attack or closely threatened, providing such service lasted for three or more years. Service overseas or outside the country of residence, providing that such service lasted for one year, except in territories threatened by the enemy or subject to bomb attacks, in which case it was six months prior to 02 September 1945. Under the terms of this last condition, Canadians serving for one year in Newfoundland were eligible and persons serving for six months in Hong Kong were also eligible. The qualifying period in mine and bomb disposal was three months. Canadians serving in West Africa, Palestine and India, other than operational air crew, qualified for this medal. Those awarded the GC or GM for civil defence received this medal. Home Guard and others in Britain qualified for this medal. The award was established on 16 August 1945.
Queen’s Silver Jubilee Medal Context The Queen’s Silver Jubilee medal commemorates the 25th anniversary of the accession of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second to the throne. National organizations in every important field of endeavour, including the professions, education and arts, veterans' groups, sports associations, philanthropic and charitable bodies and welfare services were asked to participate in submitting nominations. All members of the Order of Canada, Order of Military Merit and recipients of the Canadian Bravery Decorations received the Queen’s Silver Jubilee medal. Eligibility and Criteria Selection criterion for members of the Canadian Forces was based on merit, with length of service and prestige of current appointment as secondary consideration. This medal program is now closed.
Canadian Volunteer Service Medal Eligibility and Criteria The Canadian Volunteer Service Medal is granted to persons of any rank in the Naval, Military or Air Forces of Canada who voluntarily served on Active Service and have honourably completed eighteen months (540 days) total voluntary service from September 3, 1939 to March 1, 1947. On 6 June 2003, eligibility to the CVSM was extended to members and reserve constables of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police who voluntarily served during the Second World War. The medal was established on 22 October 1943.
Historical Notes There were 30,000 issued, of which 7,000 were awarded to members of the Canadian Forces.
The Citation for Major Currie’s Victoria Cross Major Currie’s original citation was for a Distinguished Service Order but the commanding officer of the SARs, Lt.-Col. Wotherspoon, changed it to a Victoria Cross on or about the 26 August 1944. The citation is reproduced in it’s entirety below. While the SP M-10s are noted as being in Currie’s task force, they in fact ended up with RHQ on Hill 117 and were not in the village of St. Lambert itself. From the time he was awarded the Victoria Cross, Major Currie himself stressed the fact that any of the SAR squadrons could have done the same job he did in St. Lambert. He took pains to ensure that the battle in St. Lambert was viewed in it’s proper context; that being as only a single part of the whole regimental battle...There can be no doubt that the success of this force’s task on and stand against the enemy at ST. LAMBERT SUR DIVES can only be attributed to this officer’s coolness, inspired leadership and skilful use of the limited weapons at his disposal. The courage and complete disregard for personal safety shown by Major Currie will forever be an inspiration to his regiment; his conspicuous bravery and extreme devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy an example to the Canadian Army for all time.

Funny side of tax assessment By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express
Some owners will go to great lengths to avoid property taxes. Veteran assessor Archie Fieldgate, aged 73, shared some stories at a Moose Jaw session on commercial assessment. There was the fellow in Saskatoon in the 1970s who believed assessors visited his neighbourhood every October. Every year he trucked in junk from a farm and dumped it on his front law until November to make the property look less valuable. In another year there was an incorrect rumour that storage use was not assessed. Fieldgate came to assess one house. The owner took him into the fully developed basement. The first room they came to had an elaborate gold sign on the door. It read: Storage Room. “See that young fellow?” the owner pointed to the sign and opened the door. The room was obviously a rec room. “Here’s where I store my couch,” said the owner. “Here’s where I store my TV. Here’s where I store my bar. I store my booze behind it.” Next room they came to had the same gold

Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart announced details of the 2018 Crop Insurance Program with benefits for Saskatchewan producers that will have access to very high coverage as the Crop Insurance Program continues to improve, as a result of the success of Saskatchewan farmers and ranchers. “Risk management is more important than ever for Saskatchewan producers,” Stewart said. “The Crop Insurance Program is more responsive than ever and will be extremely valuable this year as we come off of one of the driest years in the province’s history.” On average, Crop Insurance coverage levels are $216 per acre, compared to $217 per acre in 2017. The slightly lower coverage is a result of lower insured crop prices in 2018; however, coverage levels remain very high thanks to the success of Saskatchewan producers as average yields continue to move higher. The average premium for 2018 is $8.41 per acre, down slightly from $8.51 per acre in 2017. There are a number of enhancements for
the Crop Insurance Program in 2018. Fire insurance for pastureland, more crops to be insured under the Contract Price Option and increased compensation rates for cattle lost due to predators are a part of today’s announcement. More information about the changes for 2018 and how coverage is individualized for each farm can be found at www.saskcropinsurance. com/ci. March 31, 2018, is the deadline for producers to apply for, renew or make changes to their Crop Insurance contract. The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation has 21 offices across the province with experts who can help producers review the range of features and options available to customize coverage to the needs of their operation. Crop Insurance is a Business Risk Management program supported through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership. Under Crop Insurance, premiums for most programs are shared 40 per cent by participating producers, 36 per cent by the Government of Canada and 24 per cent by the Government of Saskatchewan. Administrative expenses are fully funded by governments, 60 per cent by Canada and 40 per cent by Saskatchewan.

Property valuation advisory operation offers shareholder solid growth returns
Until technology took over economic growth, most of the globe’s personal fortunes were made in real estate. Real estate is still one of the largest sources of wealth on the planet. Technology made real estate operations more complex but technology can solve real estate concerns and build the bottom line. One of the global companies helping solve real estate issues, Altus Group of Toronto, had representatives in Moose Jaw recently talking about property tax appeals. Altus, with 2,500 employees and offices in Canada, United States, Europe and Asia, says it connects the global real estate industry. The publicly traded company’s operations include advice on property taxation, valuation, costing, development, real estate software, analytics and geomatics, which is a resource-based division. According to the Financial Post, Altus is the number one property tax adviser in Canada, number three in the United States and number two in the United Kingdom. The group owns a 12 per cent stake in publicly-traded appraiser Real Matters. Property-connected advice accounts for about two-thirds of revenue with geomatics at one-tenth. Revenues have grown eight per cent annually since 2011, with profit growth around 14 per cent a year. The goal is to double revenues by 2022 from the 2017 level. Altus Group grew to a public company in
2006 with a share issue at $10. Today’s $31.41 share price is 214 per cent higher than the initial price offering. The company pays a small dividend yielding 1.9 per cent. Customers range from local Moose Jaw businesses wanting advice on property assessment appeals to mostly global pension funds, banks and real estate companies. Growth has been organic and by acquisition as Altus consolidated some 50 smaller regional competitors into an international unit. The company has acquired 11 companies since 2010 with two last year and one so far this year. Debt stands at a reasonable $150 million. The Altus Group is worth putting on investors’ watch lists. Even if global economics and interest rates hurt the real estate industry it still needs the services offered by Altus. The worst-case scenario would be a split by top managers into another competing firm. An employee profit benefit plan tries to prevent this from happening, but the firm’s most important assets walk out the door every day at quitting time. 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

Heritage Insurance Ltd. rebrands with new logo Fife Lake fire
Average crop insurance premiums dip slightly By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express
The 2018-19 Saskatchewan Crop Insurance program has a number of changes that benefit producers with claims. EXPRESS For the first time ever, fire loss on pasture land can be insured, likely a response to devastating pasture wildfires last year that destroyed 90,000 acres in the province and caused $1 million losses. Crop land fire coverage has long been available Compensation has been adjusted for loss of calves to predators. Once based on the animal’s current value, claims will be paid at rates based on expected end market value. Average coverage level is $216 an acre, down by $1 an acre, as a result of lower prices used for insurance. The average premium is down 12 cents an acre to $8.41. The federal and provincial governments subsidize the premium, by paying 60 per cent, or $5.04 an acre of the average premium cost. The program has expanded the number of corn heat unit weather stations, giving the plan more choice and coverage. Added rainfall options on the forage rainfall insurance offer more flexibility and customization. Six crops — barley, commercial canola, oats, hard red spring wheat, durum and CVPS wheat — have been added to the contract price portion, reflecting more use of grain contracting. Producers who practice intercropping can now insure under an option. Crop insurance is part of a suite of risk management programs offered under federal-provincial government policy. The two senior levels of government pay for crop insurance administration costs.

Heritage Insurance Ltd. of Moose Jaw continues in its evolution today after many exciting years in the Canadian insurance business. To celebrate its past, present and much-anticipated future, Heritage is launching a new logo and updated look, to reflect a modernized brand while maintaining a deep-rooted history and commitment to the community. Greg Marcyniuk, Agency Owner of Heritage Insurance said their new logo of the red maple leaf with three white stripes is a reflection of a proud Canadian heritage that reflects the business’ pride and role within the city. “The colors chosen for Heritage Insurance - dark blue, dark teal, light teal, taupe, and red - are both eye-catching and meaningful. The color blue evokes a sense of trust and security which Heritage Insurance wants all clients to feel when working with us. The shades of teal have a calming effect. Red is not just an obvious nod to our roots and community but also indicates strength. When taken together, these colors indicate not only a strong business but also an approachable one.” Heritage Insurance was founded in 1982 in Moose Jaw, SK as a local independent insurance agency and remains true to its foundation today. Greg Marcyniuk purchased the agency in 2003 with the vision of providing exceptional customer service and providing the best coverage for the clients’ insurance premium. “Our company’s goal was, and still is, to work with
clients who depend on us to help protect their families and businesses,” says Marcyniuk. “We value clients over carriers and use our knowledge to help them get the best possible insurance that fits their budget.” In the past 35 years, Heritage Insurance has worked hard to help the local community with a motto that states, “We do the work for you.” Heritage Insurance takes pride in their welcoming and friendly demeanor. “Our customers work too hard to be treated with indifference. When they reach out to us, in person or online, we’re quick to respond and happy to help. We use our years of experience to the benefit of all our client.” In the business market with a continual change in products and industry information, Heritage Insurance want to stay ontop of it so they can provide the absolute best and most accurate information to their clients. “We not only want them to feel welcome, we want them to know they can trust us. Our clients may focus on the price, but at Heritage Insurance we focus on providing value,” Marcyniuk stated. “It’s our goal to help our clients protect what matters most to them. They deserve to feel that their families and businesses are protected, and it’s our job to help them do that.” He assures that the company takes an individualized approach to every client, realizing they are a “real person with real needs and concerns.”

Ducks call on goats and cows to fight invasive plants in Prairie Canada AGRIMART
EXPRESS Moo-ve over, space invaders! Livestock’s got you “bleat” Pull, mow, burn and spray. These are a few of the ways Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) manages invasive plant species. In the Prairies, conservation specialists have added another tool in their kit: grazing. Prairie grasslands provide ducks, like pintails, with important plant cover for nesting. While these waterfowl aren’t equipped to stop the spread of invasive plants, the hoofed animals they share this landscape with are. “Livestock are a natural ally,” says conservation specialist Jodie Horvath. That’s why, in Alberta and Saskatchewan, cattle and goats are released onto grasslands to help combat destructive, invasive plants through grazing. Each spring, cattle are pastured at DUC’s Touchwood Hills Conservation Ranch, near Yorkton, Sask., as part of an integrated management plan. Here, heifers and cow-calf pairs eat, trample, and expose invasive plants. “In cases where [they]
won’t eat the problematic plant, what they do is eat the grass around it, which makes it easier for us to spot,” says Horvath. By doing what they naturally do, cattle are helping manage tansy (Tanacetum vulgare), common burdock (Arctium minus) and absinthe (Artemisia absinthium). “Grazing cattle are key to maintaining the production and longevity of grasslands. This productive nesting habitat has a better chance at competing with the undesirable weed species,” says Horvath. While the “moo crew” may forgo eating invasive weeds in favour of native prairie grasses, in Alberta goats are diving headfirst into leafy spurge
(Euphorbia esula L.) at DUC’s Frank Lake project, 50 kilometres southeast of Calgary. Likely introduced to Canada in a bag of contaminated seed, invasive leafy spurge releases toxins into the soil where it grows, which prevents other plants from taking root. It also impacts the land’s capacity to hold water. “It’s a problematic weed,” says DUC conservation specialist, Ashley Rawluk. Fortunately, goats love it. “They eat it like it’s candy,” she says. This year, Rawluk says she plans to have goats released onto grasslands at Frank Lake on three separate occasions. While small improvements can be noted after goats have been in the field, “it will take several years before we see the full benefits of their grazing,” says Rawluk. In the meantime, both Rawluk and Horvath celebrate the fact that the domestic animals who rely on this prairie landscape can be part of the solution. “I think there’s a real push to find natural solutions to managing invasive species,” says Rawluk. “And what’s more natural than a goat grazing?” she asks.

Weekend wins have Warriors on verge of clinching first Regular season wins don’t come much bigger than what the Moose Jaw Warriors put together against the Swift Current Broncos this past weekend. In a game that was expected to all but decide first place overall in the Western Hockey League, the Warriors stormed out to a 2-0 lead in the first period and led 3-0 through two before taking a 4-2 victory in front of a packed Mosaic Place on Saturday night. The win, combined with a victory over the Brandon Wheat Kings on Sunday afternoon and loss to the Prince Albert Raiders on Friday meant the Tribe had a 51-15-1-2 record heading into their Mar. 14 matchup with the Raiders, good enough for a five point lead on the Broncos with three games to play in the regular season. One more point and the Warriors win the Scotty Munro Memorial Trophy as Western Hockey League regular season champions. “That was definitely one of the bigger games of the year for us, they have a really good team and they’re right on our heels,” said Warriors forward and Moose Jaw minor hockey product Branden Klatt, who had two goals against the Broncos. “So it

Vince Loschiavo scored twice while Jayden Halbgewachs, Ryan Peckford and Tanner Jeannot all had single markers in a back-and-forth contest.

Training camps kick off baseball season Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
There might be a foot of snow on the ground yet, but the weather is perfect inside YaraCentre. So there’s no better time than the present to kick-off baseball season? More than 50 players converged on the local field house last week for a series of pre-season training camps in advance of try-outs, all with the goal of giving players a chance to get a bit of a jump on the upcoming campaign.
Moose Jaw Miller Express head coach Michael Hunt offers fielding and throwing tips to a group of patrons at the Bantam/Midget camp. “It’s just something to get the players doing something, getting them out throwing and hitting before they have tryouts,” explained MJMBA president Brett Walchuk. “They get a chance to learn a few things that might help them out, too.” The camps were run in two three-night age-group sessions, with the Bantam/Midget division beginning on
Mar. 1 and the Mosquito/Pee Wee camp starting on Mar. 7. Both saw a host of quality instructors, with Moose Jaw Miller Express head coach Michael Hunt and former Express standout pitcher Dustin Caplette working with the Bantam/Midgets and former Express all-star infielder Jon Cotter conducting the Mosquito/Pee Wee camp. Both events saw players going through their paces in a wide variety of hitting, fielding and pitching drills. “We have a really strong partnership with the Millers, especially with coach Hunt, he comes out and runs one of these for us every year and Dustin usually helps him out. This year we have the extra bonus that Dustin is going to be coaching our first Mosquito (age-group) team in awhile, so we’re pretty happy about that.” Bantam Mallards coaches Curtis O’Reilly and Scott Montgomery were also on hand alongside Midget Canucks coach Kevin Zerff, getting an early look at some of the players they’ll see at tryouts beginning this week. The tryouts will all run on Mar. 13 and 15, with the Mosquito and Pee Wee divisions at 6 p.m. and Bantam division at 7 p.m. both nights. The Midget tryouts start at 7 p.m. Mar. 13 and 8:30 p.m. Mar. 15.

Vikings claim junior boys basketball title Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
Things are most certainly looking up when it comes to the Vanier boys basketball program, with the high school junior boys basketball championship offering just the latest example.
“We were the underdogs two years ago when we came out and won it, so I never took it for granted we were going to win this one until that buzzer rang,” -Vikings coach Mark Bevan. The Vanier Red Vikings roared out to a 39-26 lead at halftime against the Central Gold Cyclones and held off a second-half charge by their city final opponents to take a 70-60 victory in the title contest Mar. 7 at Vanier. The win capped off a stellar season for Vanier Red, who turned their first place finish in the regular season into championship gold.
Members of the Vanier Red Vikings gather for a team photo with their junior boys basketball city championship plaque.
“We were the underdogs two years ago when we came out and won it, so I never took it for granted we were going to win this one until that buzzer rang,” said Vikings coach Mark Bevan. “But our boys came out and played great and got the job done. It
was awesome.” Vanier’s overall balance was on display on the scoresheet – the Vikings were led offensively by Nathan Meili with 19 points, while D.J. Agapay scored 18, Rainer Olson 17, Rayann Cabral 15 and Kyle Gotana 11.
“This year, this group of Grade 10s are one of the best groups fundamentally and with the drive to learn and do everything properly,” lauded Bevan. “Practices this year were great, they always practiced hard. This was probably the best team I’ve coached when it came to pure talent, it was awesome.” Max Coulson used his size and strength inside to dominate the paint, racking up 34 points in the process to lead the Cyclones. Dylan Boughen had 17 points for Central and Ryan Vincent added 15. Given the Vikings’ success in the senior league this season – they finished tied for second place with Peacock in the regular season standings – having a talented crew of players moving up to bolster their ranks could make things interesting down the road. “We have some good players moving up to senior, so there could be some good seasons coming up here,” said Bevan.

Toilers win junior girls basketball championship Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
If the 2018 junior girls high school basketball final was any indication of what the senior league is going to see over the next couple years, local hoops fans are in for some entertaining games. Caitlyn Johnson hit a three pointer with 45 seconds remaining to give the Peacock Toilers a 67-64 victory over the Vanier Spirits in the league title game on Mar. 7 at Peacock, capping off a raucous night that saw Vanier nearly pull off a miracle comeback. “She’s been our girl, she’s been making the big shots for us all year,” said Toilers coach Ken McDougall. “So it was hers to take and the girls knew, we just kept telling them that they were going to make it, that it was going to go in eventually. We missed a lot of shots tonight and we were able to get it from Caitlyn when we needed it.” Peacock led by as much as 13 at one point in the fourth quarter, but a stunning 9-0 run over a span of a little more than a minute and a half of game time saw the Spirits turn an 11-point deficit into a two-point shortfall. “I’m really proud of the girls and the way they played there and never gave up,” said Spirits coach Brad Moser. “That’s what you always want from your team. You get involved in sports and no one likes to lose, but that was the type of loss where you go ‘holy cow, we left it all on the floor’ and feel really good about it. I know the girls felt really good... It was a really gutsy game on both sides of the ball and I was really proud of our girls for the way they battled back.” That set up a dramatic final two minutes, as Vanier’s Gracie Bzdel hit a three-pointer of her own with 1:30 remaining to tie the game 64-64, setting the stage for Johnson’s
heroics. “Vanier played an awesome game and got more and more confident as the game went on and pushed us right to the limit,” McDougall said. “So our girls had to work hard to come out with the win because Vanier played awesome. “This is one of the greatest groups of girls we’ve coached and I’m very happy to have a successful end to the season. We were hoping for a great game and it was incredible, and I’m so happy for my Grade 10s, they really worked hard so we were really happy to get the win in the end here.” Caitlin Miller led Peacock with 26 points as the Toilers led 15-13 after the first quarter and 35-30 at the half. Johnson added 14. Kyra Lynch was Vanier’s top scorer with 14 points, while Bzdel scored 12 and Madison Miller picked up 10.

The Moose Jaw Speed Skating Club is winding up a successful season with a couple of special events and some great performances by local skaters. Among the outstanding performances by Moose Jaw club members, Graeme Fish who now skates as a senior made world cup appearances for Team Canada at long track in the 5,000m.

Peacock, Central to Play for High School Girls City Title Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
Things went pretty much according to plan for the Peacock Toilers and Central Cyclones in the Moose Jaw High School Girls Basketball League semifinals. The two arch-rivals will once again have a chance to play for a city championship. The defending league champion Toilers took an 86-33 win over the Caronport Cougars in their semifinal contest, while the Cyclones were similarly as dominant in their 77-35 victory against the Vanier Spirits. The city championship took place on Mar. 13, with results unavailable as of press time. Peacock 86, Caronport 33 The Toilers – who posted a perfect 8-0 record through the regular season – wasted little time getting things going against Caronport (2-6), rolling out to a 30-6 lead and holding a 51-13 edge at halftime. All that despite not playing as well as they could have in the early going by Grade 12 guard Katherine McDougall’s assessment. “We weren’t boxing out and we need to learn how to keep the intensity up at all times, so that’s what we focussed on as the game went on,” McDougall said after putting up eight points. “We have to avoid bad habits, not boxing out, not sprinting up the court each time, it’s kind of easy to fall back into that.. It’s the kind of things we can’t do in big games.” Caronport put together a stunningly balanced performance, with Anna Maelde leading the team 11 points, Abby Busch and Kennedy Ward each scoring 10 and Piper Ingalls nine. Every player on the team had at least four points. That kind of spread out scoring was expected to bode well when it came to the city title game at the always-raucous

Polytech gym. “The whole atmosphere is going to be really hyped up and really loud in the gym, so we’ll have to be ready for that, the kind of games that are really high intensity and nerve-wracking for the girls,” McDougall said. “But it’ll be a lot of fun and we’re hoping to do really well.” Melissa Ellis led Caronport with seven points, Emma Carter added six. Central 77, Vanier 35 Central continued to show their season-long improvement in the other semifinal, as they turned in one of their best defensive showings of the season in their commanding win over the Spirits. “I think defense is always hard work and you have to put in a lot of effort, so it was nice to be able to see work on the scoreboard,” said Grade 12 forward Ashlyn Jesse. “I thought we did pretty well, you never know what the
outcome is going to be but I think we kept the momentum and that really helped us with not tiring out and being able to just keep pushing the ball.” The Cyclones (6-2) took a 23-8 lead out of the first quarter and led 41 -12 at the half after holding Vanier (2-6) to only three points in the second quarter. Kirstie Johnstone was Central’s top scorer with 16 points, Alexa Watterson added 13, Jesse 12 and Nylah Seaborn 11. Vanier was led by Jenna Meili with 10 points to go along with nine from Annah McDonald. Given the strides they’ve taken this season, were hoping for a solid performance in the title game after losing both regular season match-ups to Peacock. “We’ve always been improving, we’ve been working really hard so we just have to go in there in the right mind and do our best,” Jesse said. “It’s going to be loud, it’s going to be a fast game but we’re going to play as well as we can and see what happens.” **** The SHSAA held it’s first round of provincial playdowns over the Mar. 9 weekend, with three Moose Jaw and area teams advancing to regionals this coming weekend. At the 2A girls conference tournament in Herbert, the Cornerstone Christian School Falcons won their opener 47-41 over the host team to earn their regional berth. The conference final saw Shaunavon take a 56-42 win over Cornerstone in a game to decide regional seeding. At the 3A girls conference playoffs in Kindersley, Caronport defeated Kindersley 77-59 and Assiniboia downed Maple Creek 61-28 to earn two of the regional spots available. Caronport then took a 76-55 win in the conference final.
Central to face Peacock for boys basketball championship
Heading into the current Moose Jaw High School Boys Basketball League season, it was all but assured that the top three teams in the league were going to be in for a battle whenever they faced one another. And sure enough, that was the case – especially when the Peacock Toilers and Vanier Vikings were on the court. It was no different in the league semifinal, where the Toilers used an impressive fourth quarter to pull off a 74-62 win over the Vikings The other semifinal saw the Central Cyclones take a 103-64 win over the Caronport Cougars. Peacock 74, Vanier 62 Through three quarters, the Toilers and Vikings found themselves separated by only two points, with Peacock holding a 56-54 lead. It was at that point that a slight alteration in strategy – and Peacock’s deeper bench – turned the tide once and for all. “We switched to zone in the fourth quarter and that really changed it for us,” said Toilers forward Jett Kowalchuk, who had 14 points in the contest, including eight on free throws as Peacock closed out the game. “And Payton Chow had a huge game without fouling too, he was able to hold Ronald to only a few points, which is really hard to do against him.” “Ronald” being Vanier’s dynamic guard Ronald Nyekowat, who alongside Ryan Stefanovic and Riley Follensbee formed a dangerous three-headed monster from the outside for the Vikings all season. Chow ended up holding Nyekowat to only two points while putting up 24 of his own; Stefanovic led all scorers with 31 points, including five three-pointers in the second half. Follensbee contributed 18. “We had a couple of really good runs in the first half and a really good run in the third quarter and then just ran out of gas at the end... by the end of the game everyone was on the ground cramping up, so we really gave it our all,” Stefanovic said.

the ball really well and shot the open shots, made the open shots... we played hard and made the shots we had to make,” Seaborn said in assessing his squad’s performance. Central came into the contest as the heavy favourite and gave Caronport few chances to get back into the game, something they were plenty wary of having happen. “It’s easier being the underdog because you have no pressure on yourself and you just have to go out and play. Sometimes when you’re higher in the seed you play tighter... but we played good defence, didn’t let them back in the game.” Next up was the city final and another battle with the cross-town rival Toilers. “We just have to play good defence once again and get the job done,” Seaborn said. “You never know what they can bring...
we’ll have to play hard.” **** The Cougars didn’t let the semifinal loss carry over into a crucial set of weekend games – the conference playdowns. And as hosts of one of the 2A boys tournaments, they showed just how much playing in the Moose Jaw league can benefit a lower-enrollment team. Caronport rolled to a 93-80 win over Harvest City to earn their regional berth, and then crushed Southey 108-59 in the conference final. The Riverview Royals didn’t have quite as much luck as hosts of a 3A boys conference tournament as they fell 81-54 to the Assiniboia Rockets in the regional qualifying game. Clavet downed Assiniboia 102-63 in the conference final.
Central’s Okony Okak breaks moves the ball in front of Caronport’s Caden Bourassa. “It could have been a shot here or there where if we made it... so we were close. Would have nice to get to cities, but we just couldn’t quite do it.” The Toilers led 22-19 after the first quarter and 38-31 at half and in the process were able to largely match the Vikings stride for stride until they were able to pull away. “Vanier is a momentum team and they can go on runs and hit shots, so it was just mental toughness and we tried to play through and stay focussed,” Kowalchuk said. Riley Herridge returned from injury and put up 12 points for the Toilers. Central 103, Caronport 64 There were no such dramatics in the other semifinal, as the Cyclones picked where they left off after their unbeaten regular season and put together a commanding win. Grade 11 guard Riley Seaborn scored 34 points to lead Central. “\We played good team defence, we moved

On the Front Porch by Wanda Smith
Teenage Diaries In my quest to simplify my storage room, I finally tackled a banker’s box of keepsakes. Most of them have travelled with me since leaving home 27 years ago. I found a whole bunch of goodies like the Canadian Cowboys Association Finals Rodeo full program and results, Agribition Rodeo programs, diaries about my teenage heartthrobs, a maple leaf I brought home from our Ontario singing trip, special cards and mementos, calendars (which I diligently filled in throughout my teenage years), wedding souvenirs and more. During my teenage years, I was a loyal Moose Jaw Warriors fan, keeping statistics, newspaper articles and any memorabilia I could get my hands on. In fact, I also recorded important games on my “ghettoblaster” that I missed when Bryn Griffiths and Rob Carney were the voice of the Warriors so I had several cassette tapes of games from the late 80s and early 90s. I made several scrapbooks as well. I also found dozens of handwritten Bible verses on slips of paper. I was surprised of how many I had written out. Besides having scriptures sporadically popping up on numerous pages of my journals, I also learned that I’d read the entire New Testament in a span of five months. I’d forgotten about that! I will be completely honest to admit that I haven’t dedicated as much time to Bible reading as I would aspire to. One cry of my heart is: “Lord, give me a hunger to read Your Word more.” I DO love to read the Word of God... but I admit that I am distracted by whatever may distract me in the moment. I’m not proud of this. I desire to be filled with the Truth of God’s Word. It is “life to those who find it and health to all their flesh!” I like another
translation that says: “Fill your thoughts with My Words until they penetrate deep into your spirit. Then, as you unwrap My Words, they will impart true life and radiant health into the very core of your being.” The Word of God is alive. It is living. It is relevant to our life today... and tomorrow... and the day after that. It is “infallible” - meaning it is incapable of being wrong. “In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Lord, give us revelation of this! The Word always was and always will be! I do know this one thing... “Better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere.” A few minutes spent in the Word of God changes everything. The Word of God is where I have received direction many times in my life. It is as though the words jump off the page just for my specific situation. The Word of God is full of wisdom for our everyday lives and will speak to each of us specifically about our individual circumstances. Anytime Hubby and I need to take a big step in our lives, we look to the Word for direction. It is always something we can go back on when the going gets tough. “I’ve learned that nothing is perfect in this imperfect world except Your Words, for they bring such fantastic freedom into my life!” The more Word we put in, the more Word comes out. The more LIFE we put in, the more LIFE we’ll receive. Be challenged to increase your Word input this week, as I am - thanks to my teenage diaries! Scripture references: Proverbs 4:22, John 1:1, Hebrews 4:12, Psalm 119:96

Council tentatively approves 2018 budget Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
Moose Jaw City Council had a new budget proposal to vote on at their Mar. 12 regular meeting after a special budget meeting the previous week ironed out what the majority of councillors felt were serious deficiencies in the original proposal. The waterworks utility rate schedule will now see a nine per cent increase as of May 1 and the sewer utility rate increase will remain at six per cent. The remaining utility revenue shortfall of $513,000 will be made up by a 1.91 per cent municipal tax increase, bringing the 2018 tax increase for Moose Jaw to 6.4 per cent. The tax increase had previously been set at 5.01 per cent. The meeting of council on Feb. 26th saw Coun. Brian Swanson challenge a handful of proposed funding increases, with the proposed 15 per cent waterworks utility rate and six per cent sanitary sewer rate adjustments finally proving to be the bridge too far – councillors Swanson, Dawn Luhning, Don Mitchell and Chris Warren all spoke and voted against the increases, resulting in a 4-3 defeat of the proposal and the budget being tabled for further adjustment. Discussions over the following two weeks resulted in proposed alterations that were tentatively accepted pending council’s final approval.

“Here’s to Strong Women, may we know them, may we be them and may we raise them” - Leaders in Heels Joan Ritchie Globally last week, March EDITOR 8th was recognized as International Women’s Day in celebration of the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. In my opinion, the glass ceiling may have cracked a little but it sure hasn’t shattered yet; although women are making great advances in securing employment in upper management levels, they still aren’t seeing the same ka-ching ka-ching in their pockets. To work to attain equality doesn’t imply inferiority. We, as women, may be the fairer sex with a couple of outstanding features but don’t equate that to personal weakness. We are strong-spirited and have the same mental capacity as our handsome counterparts and we are able to tackle and succeed as an equal across the board for most employable skills. Not quite on the same level, ‘braun’ may be in a different category. Most women aren’t naturally built to work in that capacity, although a woman has been known to bring a man to his knees with just a bat of her eyelashes and render him helpless. And as women, we birth babies. Now isn’t that proof that God entrusted one of the most important and significant roles of humankind to the female gender? Imagine if a man ever had to endure the pain. For sure, it would be just once and only. To emphasize my point, just take a look at how sad and pitiful a man can act when he has the snifles (but we still love them anyways :) This month, as well, the Business Women of Moose Jaw held their annual PRISM awards to recognize special women who have made their mark in our community and in the broad scheme of things, by helping to advance the significance of women as contributing members of society. There were 21 women nominated this year and that in itself is very noteworthy. Congratulations to all! In the same breath, this annual gala’s secondary purpose but just as important, is as a fundraiser for Transition House. When we consider abuse, Saskatchewan has the highest rate of domestic violence amongst the provinces. That’s a sad fact and things just have to change...
Elsie Norma Schultz Elsie Norma Schultz (nee Funk) peacefully passed away in the early morning hours of Monday, March 5, 2018, at Extendicare in Moose Jaw, SK, after a short battle with lung cancer. She was predeceased by her parents Abrahm and Catherine (Wall) Funk, husband Peter Schultz, brother Vern Funk, sisters Wilma (Dave) Heffley and Velma (Wilmer) Steinley, son-in-law Edward Cochet. She is survived by her son Howard (Dorothy) Schultz, daughters Brenda (Randy) Ludwar, June (Keith) Gieni, Jackie Cochet, sons Bradley Schultz (Ceal), Boyd (Patricia) Schultz, daughter Becki Schultz, grandchildren MacKinlee (Steve) Reed, Sheena Cochet, Kenedee (Shawn) Minto, Kayla (Greg) Trevena, Alyssa (Aaron) McGillivray, Chris (Amy) Gieni, Bradley (Kyla) Ludwar, Marlon Schultz, Kory Schultz, Raquel Schultz, Megan Schultz (Aaron), Brooke Schultz, great-grandchildren Jacob Gieni Moore, Kessler Reed, Aiden McGillivray, Mathias Minto, Callan Reed, Taylor McGillivray, Alex Minto, Zachary Trevena, Jade Ludwar, Madeline Trevena. Elsie was born March 3, 1934, at home in the country in the Highfield District. Grades 1 – 10 were spent at Donnellyville School, Grade 11 in Rush Lake, and Grade 12 at the convent in Swift Current. Mom talked often about her close relationship with her Dad, and how much time they spent together. “I was his right-hand girl!” Between grades 11 and 12, Elsie worked in a diner in Rush Lake. “That was a wonderful experience! Living away from home. My first job!” In the fall of 1952, after completing high school, Elsie worked as a teaching assistant at Enns School in the Neidpath District. Later that fall, the teacherage was moved to Abe Andres’ farm and was known as the Meadow Prairie District School. Mom often spoke of her time as a teaching assistant, and how much she enjoyed the energy of the kids. Also in the autumn of 1952, at the age of 18, Elsie married Peter Schultz on November 21. Mom and Dad had many friends at their home on the Schultz homestead – Mom regularly recounted the good times they shared, especially with brothers Bob and John Blumster. In 1964, with four children in tow, Elsie and Pete moved to the Drinkwater area, where they lived, and Pete worked on the farm of Ken Coward. In 1966, they moved into the village of Drinkwater, where Elsie operated the Drinkwater switchboard exchange and Pete began working at the Canadian Forces Base in Moose

Jaw. In the fall of 1977, Elsie began working part-time, then eventually full-time, at Citizens All in Moose Jaw. She retired May 30, 1994. Throughout her adult life, Elsie enjoyed and was actively involved in politics, often volunteering to stump for her party/candidate of choice and scrutineering during election time. Mom enjoyed almost 24 years of retirement, the majority of them at her home in Drinkwater. Mom was an excellent baker and cook – homemade soups, bread, buns, cinnamon buns and butter horns were but a few of her specialties. As well, mom was a voracious reader and always kept abreast of current events. Mom was proud of all her grandchildren and strongly encouraged them to obtain post-secondary education. She lived to see her oldest and youngest grandchildren graduate from university. Every month mom sent a short note and a small gift of money to every grandchild while they were attending university, and this was designated as “fun money” for them to spend as they wanted. In 1996 mom began the tradition of hosting a back-to-school party which lasted well over a decade. Mom enjoyed traveling and visited Australia, Fiji and a rhythmic gymnastics performance in Amsterdam to watch her granddaughter MacKinlee perform. Howard and Dorothy took mom on her last big trip that included traveling to the Yukon, Alaska, and various other northern destinations for three weeks. Mom and Howard shared a very special relationship. As her first-born, Howard’s bond with Mom, and hers with him, was unbreakable, unshakeable. They relied on one another, and took care of one another, throughout each other’s life. Howard was always there for Mom. Mom and Becki spent a significant amount of time together and they enjoyed scenic drives in the countryside, going to concerts where they saw Leonard Cohen, k.d. lang, Elton John (with June), Diana Krall, and several others. They also attended the symphony and spent several special occasions in Wakamow Park. As well, Becki always planned something special for Mom on Mother’s Day. Becki was a loving and diligent caregiver until the end. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday March 9, 2018 at 11:00 AM at Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane, Moose Jaw. Walter Engel will officiate. In living memory of Elsie, a memorial planting will be made by W. J. Jones & Son Funeral Home.

Elsie Pauline Murray
SELINGER Pauline Gwen Selinger, age 64 years, passed away suddenly in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan on Thursday, March 1st, 2018. Pauline was born on May 11th, 1953 in Wadena, SK. She was the middle child of Oli and Jemima Thomasson and grew up in Mozart, SK. She had many cherished memories from Mozart and had many dear friends and relatives from this area. After high school, Pauline became a Registered Nurse. After completing nursing school in Saskatoon, SK, Pauline worked in Flin Flon, MB and then moved to Moose Jaw shortly thereafter. There she met Ron Selinger and on August 13th, 1977 they married. Together they had two sons, Stephen and Shane, and built a life with their children around CP Rail and her nursing career. Pauline had a fulfilling career as a RN at the Moose Jaw Union Hospital from 1975 to 2012. Pauline’s kind, loving and compassionate nature extended beyond the borders of her nursing practices and touched the hearts of all those she cared for as well as her co-workers. She was predeceased by her parents, Oli and Jemima Thomasson; sister, Jeanette Heshka; and mother-in-law, Eileen Selinger (Hanby). Pauline will be lovingly remembered by her husband, Ron Selinger; brother, Tom Thomasson; her sons, Stephen (Lisa) Selinger, and Shane (Stephanie) Selinger; grandchildren: James, Macy and Oliver; nephew, Mark (Dana) Heshka; great-niece Sierra; niece, Michelle Heshka; father-in-law, Henry Selinger; her best friend, Joan Swaok; as well as many friends in Moose Jaw and the communities of Mozart and Wynyard, SK. Pauline had many friends and was active in the Moose Jaw community. She enjoyed swimming and she was extremely friendly and sociable to anyone she met. In her younger days she was an excellent volleyball player and curler, winning numerous trophies and awards. She remained physically active later in life and in 2016 she won two gold medals in the Saskatchewan Senior games for swimming. Pauline was an amazing photographer and enjoyed photography club. She loved taking photos of grain elevators and the Saskatchewan landscape. She loved baking buns or cookies and surprising friends, or even the lifeguards at the pool, with these treats. Pauline loved her best friend Joan and her daughter Kim and always enjoyed their visits and phone calls. She also had a special bond with her niece Michelle and adored her nephew Mark. She treasured her three grandchildren and made many trips to Lethbridge to visit James and Macy. She was their special Amma who gave out love easily and enjoyed playing kitchen with them, singing songs and reading many stories. We will always be grateful as she provided an amazing source of strength and hands on help with Oliver while Shane and Stephanie were undergoing Stephanie’s cancer treatments shortly after Oliver was born. Pauline expressed how proud she was of Shane and Stephanie and was excited to be there when Stephanie got to ring the bell to signify the end of treatment. We miss you Pauline, Mom, Amma. You are finally now at peace and in the arms of the angels. Please help us remember Pauline. A Celebration of Life was held on Saturday, March 10th, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. in Moose Jaw Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, donations in Pauline’s name may be made to The Moose Jaw Humane Society, Box 1658 Station Main, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 7K7. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Todd Sjoberg, Funeral Director 306-693-4550 www. moosejawfuneralhome.com
Elsie Pauline Murray (nee Ferris) beloved Mom, Nana and Aunt, peacefully passed away Saturday, March 3, 2018. Elsie was born September 2nd, 1927, at the family farm near Holland, Manitoba, the 14th child born to Lewis and Annie Ferris. Elsie grew up on the farm and attended Camille School and high school in Holland. After high school Elsie taught one year as a permit teacher in a one room school house near Rathwell, Manitoba. She then attended business college in Winnipeg and upon completion was employed by the Manitoba Federation of Agriculture. Elsie met her future husband Sandy as a teenager and they were married June 3rd, 1950, in Holland, Manitoba. Elsie was a 50 year member of Eastern Star, a member of WaWa Shrine Ladies Auxiliary, Daughters of the Nile and a member of St. Mark’s Presbyterian Church. She and Sandy worked side by side for the organizations that meant so much to them. For over 30 years Sandy worked the afternoon shift at the CPR which meant that Elsie was primarily responsible for managing their home, their children and all that that entails. Her hobbies included bowling, curling, and reading. Later in life, when watching her favorite sports, her loyalty would usually fall to the Manitoba teams. For the past 12 years Elsie has resided at Mulberry Estates where she actively participated as librarian, resident piano player, shuffleboard participant, and joined in many sing-a-longs. Elsie was predeceased by her husband of 52 years, Alexander “Sandy”, and by her 13 siblings. Elsie is survived by her son, Bruce and his wife Mary B. nee Sagal, and their family; Jennifer (Sean) Rogers, their children Brody, Carson, Lincoln & Lily; Devon (Nikki Clark-Murray), their children, Alexander & Violet; Brandon (Emily Dueck); Brittany (Tyson Langelier), their children Sophia & Liam; and Joshua; daughter Sandra and her husband Mike Neithercut and their family Kim (Terry Banilevic), their children Brooklyn & Kaedyn; and Kevin Neithercut; and many nieces & nephews. We would like to thank the Mulberry staff who over the years provided great support for Mom. In addition, we would like to express our gratitude to the HomeCare providers, Dr. A. J. van Heerden and the nursing staff of Dr. F H Wigmore Regional Hospital’s ER & Medical Ward. Your care and kindness touched our hearts. The Funeral service was held Wednesday, March 7, 2018 at 2:30 p.m. at W.J. Jones Funeral Chapel. Rev. Dave Moore will officiate. Flowers gratefully declined. As an expression of sympathy, donations to the Wa-Wa Shriners of Saskatchewan, 2065 Hamilton Street, Regina, SK S4P 2E1. In living memory of Elsie, a memorial planting will be made by Jones Funeral Home. Please sign the memorial register at website: www.wjjonesandson.com (Obituaries).

Victor Richard ‘Dick’ Gibson of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan passed away on Monday March 05, 2018 at the age of 86 years. He was born in Moose Jaw on October 29, 1931 to Elizabeth Blain Gibson (McKeown) of Glasgow, Scotland and Harold Gibson of Middlesbrough, England. His father Harold was in the RCMP in the 1920’s and then worked at the Moose Jaw Post Office. Dick grew up and always lived in Moose Jaw, attending King George School and Central Collegiate. He was a founding member of the St. Andrew’s Boys Pipe Band which started in 1946. Then he joined the reserve army 20th Armored Regiment in Moose Jaw in 1948 and obtained his driver’s license there. Later he switched to the RCEME and qualified for multiple vehicles, including driving tanks for training in Moose Jaw for a while.

Dick received Jesus Christ as his Saviour and was baptised at the Church of God around 2010. In 2011 he acted in the Sound of Music and in 2012 in the Pirates of Penzance at the Mae Wilson Theatre. He had a passion for singing since he was young and was most recently in the Zion Church choir. When in the hospital a few years ago he would sing Italian opera to the nurses. Sometimes he breaks out in Scottish songs with an accent or says “It’s a braw bricht moonlicht nicht t’nicht.” He also learned some Japanese words. Predeceased by great-granddaughter Aiyanna Nicoll in 1999, his wife Jean in 2002, sister Valerie Weissenborn in 2011, and granddaughter Liz Reaume in 2017.
