Jim Puffalt took his most recent journey into Moose Jaw as a sign that his decision to become the new city manager was the perfect move for himself and his family. Driving in from North Battleford, Puffalt encountered a nasty spring snowstorm with white-out conditions, conditions that became so bad that at one point he had to pull over because visibility was so poor. “We stopped for five minutes and then headed down, and as we got to Moose Jaw the weather started to clear and it got nicer. So I knew it was a sign that I was supposed to be here,” Puffalt said with a laugh. The City of Moose Jaw held a press conference on Mar. 29 to introduce Puffalt as the new city manager, taking over the position from the departed Matt Noble. He comes to the community with over 20 years in municJim Puffalt ipal government that includes city manager positions in Dauphin, Man., Estevan and “The past few years as I’ve come into difmost recently North Battleford. “I’m a Saskatchewan kid, and in this in- ferent communities, you have to look at the dustry you look at moving up through Sas- gaps, if there are any. And you have to be katchewan and through the larger cities customer service based, my job is probably and larger places,” Puffalt said when asked one of the ones where I can be a conduit for everybody and if information needs to get to about choosing Moose Jaw. “Moose Jaw is kind of a place that in my city council, I can get it to them. If our front line of business is a place to look to be. I’ve line people need something I can get them had a pretty good history with Moose Jaw, I that information and make sure everyone have family here and my uncles have lived has what they need to do their job.” here for a number of years. I’m fairly famil- Moose Jaw Mayor Fraser Tolmie said that iar with the area, too, I lived in Estevan and hiring Puffalt was a unanimous decision by my kids played hockey here, so we’re pretty city council and that his past experience in a multitude of areas of concern to Moose Jaw comfortable with the area.” Puffalt officially takes over the position on made the difference. May 7 and will be moving to Moose Jaw “We had some very strong candidates, but Jim came to the top,” Tolmie said. “We with his wife Monique and three children. He expects to essentially hit the ground run- looked at a lot of things and some of the ning after taking some time to get acclimat- challenges we’re facing, and Mr. Puffalt is ed to his surroundings. Once he has a feel very engaging and has a very good sense of for the system, it’ll be a matter of dealing the community and he wants to be involved with the myriad of issues every sizable city in the community. “We talked about customer service, and that has on a daily basis. “Everything I’ve done since I’ve started has comes from leading from the top and counbeen scalable as we move to a larger size cil wants to close that gap with administracommunity.” Puffalt explained. “The sys- tion so we can walk together step-for-step. tems come, you have your background, but So I feel this will be a very good relationship you have to see what the current conditions between council and the administration, we are and be able to manage these operations need to work together and while we always because every council is different, every say that, we’re excited that he feels the same way and we’re looking forward to that.” city administration is different.

One of the major issues currently faced by the city of Moose Jaw is one new city manager Jim Puffalt has already dealt with multiple times in different cities – cast-iron watermain replacement. Puffalt has already had discussions with previous managers and councillors to that effect and is happy with what he’s seen initially. The key will be how things stand up to further scrutiny – when a similar situation was taking place in North Battleford a few years ago, Puffalt realized changes were needed. “Looking back at North Battleford, when I looked and I did a study on the system, we realized what was being done wasn’t going to be enough, we were getting rapidly worse instead of better,” he said. “So we had to ramp it up in different ways and find different funding sources to be able to do that. “You just can’t waste that money, it’s $10,000 to $15,000 a pop that you’re wasting. Not to mention that you’re bothering people, they need water, they can’t go without.” Puffalt is very much aware of the costs associated with such a project and what it’ll take to get things done, even in a much more expensive climate than what he’s worked with in the past. “If we do local improvements it gets so expensive,” Puffalt said. “When we started doing it down south in 2002 and 2003, prices were reasonable, $3,500 to $4,000 to do a local improvement outside your house. But in 2007 and 2008 those prices just skyrocketed. Property taxes don’t cover undergrounds, so we have to find a way to cover those costs. “You just have to have the willingness to be creative and find different ways to do things.”

New Caronport mayor looks to strengthen relationship with Moose Jaw
New community center, Oak Tree PlaceSasha-Gay to host fundraiser Lobban
Sasha-Gay Lobban
A place that provides support for persons dealing with addictions and recovery, Oak Tree Place will be opening in Moose Jaw. Oak Tree Place is a non-profit organization where persons suffering from addictions can go for support. This will allow individuals to share their struggles, receive support, all while breaking down the stigma about addictions. Co-founder, Jody Oakes says Oak Tree Place will offer daily programming for persons in recovery with a focus on: how to get back into the workforce; family support—mending relationships; healthy living and re-integration into society. “We’ve all been affected by addictions whether it is directly or indirectly, and we want to provide a service that offers support. We’ve worked in this area, dealing with addiction cases and we want to provide a place of support where persons can come and feel safe and get the support they need to overcome their addictions,” Oakes stated. She added that Oak Tree Place will be a place that is open to the community in general. “Oak Tree Place will also be a place where we can refer people to clinical services, addictions counselors and many other services where people can share and not be judged. We want it to feel as safe as sitting under an Oak Tree.” Oak Tree Place will host a fundraiser on Saturday, May 12 at Zion United Church, 423 Main St. N. This fundraiser is to aid in implementing the organization’s goal and to secure a location for the center. “This is the opening and fundraiser for Oak Place. It is a family event—anyone can attend. This fundraising will also help us to be able to operate at a great location. We’re currently looking for a location so anyone who knows of a central location that’s affordable, they can give us a call. We’re happy to be launching Oak Tree Place because it is something that is needed in our community.” Rod Pedersen and Billy Cuthbert will be the guest speakers at the event. Tickets are $50 per person and $400 for a table of eight (8). For tickets and more information, contact Jody Oakes at 306-631-4168 or email jody. oakes@sasktel.net, Stacy Simms at 306-313-2035 or Phil Simms, 306-313-8661.
New Caronport mayor looks to strengthen relationship with Moose Jaw Sasha-Gay Lobban Daniel Buck, the newly-elected mayor of Caronport is looking to deepen relationships with Moose Jaw and Mortlach. The byelection took place on March 14 whn Buck received 227 of the 307 votes cast. The other candidate was Jordan Grant. Buck has been Acting Mayor since October last year, succeeding former Mayor, Darrell Tunall. Buck was previously on the village Council for eight years. He says he is looking forward to continuing working with residents of Caronport. “We had a record 307 people come out, which is a pretty good turn out percentage for our population. I received 227 of those votes of which I am very appreciative,” he said. “A vote for me is a vote for the current council and the previous council and that they agreed with the direction in which we’re moving; how we’ve been handling taxes and developing projects.” Some of Buck’s plans include deepening ties between neighboring communities, Moose Jaw and Mortlach, both of which are about 21 km from Caronport. “The most significant challenge that we’re facing is that we need to develop our waste water facilities, probably a lagoon. We want to do this because currently that is limiting our potential for residential and commercial growth. We want to grow and we’d like to be in connection with both the Moose Jaw and Mortlach communities. If we have facilities here and land to devel-
Daniel Buck
op for businesses and residents that do not want to live in a larger town, our village can be an option. We’re looking to develop our waste water facilities over the next year or two so that we can have more regional co-oporation.” He also wants to strengthen communication. “We want to definitely increase communication; there’s value in hearing from residents and also making them aware of the projects. We are also working with Briercrest College and Seminary which is a very large stakeholder in the community so we want to encourage more communication with them as well.” Buck sits with three other members on council. There is a vacancy for a new councillor now that he is mayor. “We will be having another byelection in April to fill that vacant position.”
Saskatchewan leads farm rental trend By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express AGRIMART
EXPRESS The 2016 Census of Agriculture confirmed a trend to increased rental of farmland. The federal census found 3.2 million acres of farmland shifted from ownership farming to rental arrangements 4 TIER GREENHOUSE

with 40.1 million acres under rentals. Saskatchewan accounted for 2.3 million more acres of rented land. Factors affecting the shift varied from older farmers taking advantage of higher rents to hang on to the farm to younger farmers needing less capital to expand operations by renting. Fifty-nine per cent of land was farmed by owners, 24 per cent rented or leased from private owners and 13 per cent

leased from government. The shift to rental was most obvious in Saskatchewan where rented land increased by 3.78 per cent. Neighbouring Alberta saw a 2.06 per cent boost in rented farmland, while Manitoba was up less than one per cent. Rental farmland in B.C. was up 1.55 per cent. Ontario and Quebec farmland rentals were up .88 and 55 per cent respectively. Ron Walter can be reached at ronjoy@sasktel.net

Standing Up for Saskatchewan
MLAs Column
Warren Michelson Moose Jaw North
Warren Michelson, MLA
The Spring Sitting of the Legislature will resume next week after a break for Easter and our team of MLAs from across the province remains focused on standing up for Saskatchewan. Premier Moe has led by example, demonstrating his leadership in the areas of pipeline development, finding solutions to the grain transportation backlog and fighting the imposition of a carbon tax on Saskatchewan. Recently, the Legislative Assembly was shocked to hear the Leader of the Opposition describe our government’s fight against the Trudeau carbon tax as a “costly and pointless crusade”. Saskatchewan people know that a carbon tax would hurt agriculture and industries that drive our economy, and they understand how it will drive up costs while doing nothing to reduce global emissions. The NDP’s new leader wants to force a carbon tax on Saskatchewan but you can rest assured that whether it’s
Ryan Meili or Justin Trudeau, our government will fight the imposition of a carbon tax every step of the way. While we disagree with the Prime Minister on the carbon tax file, there were positive discussions with Premier Moe during the P.M.’s recent visit to Saskatchewan. For example, his assurance that the Trans Mountain pipeline will be built was welcome news. We will continue to work together with our federal counterparts on international trade, and to promote Canadian exports. The rail shipment backlog for the 2017 harvest continues to be a pressure issue, as it was in 2013. Our government remains actively engaged and is working with the federal government and rail companies to find solutions to what has become a significant concern for all of Saskatchewan. Railways and the federal government need to do more to proactively address this challenge. Getting more pipelines built to take oil off of rail will make moving energy resources safer, more efficient, and environmentally sustainable, and would provide more access to get Saskatchewan grain to market. A strong export-based economy requires strong trade relationships. India’s High Commissioner to Canada recently visited our province, providing an opportunity for Premier Moe and our government to promote our top industries. Saskatchewan’s trade with India has nearly doubled in the past decade and we will continue to find ways to improve our valuable trade relationship.
Our population numbers are a good indication of the strength of the economy and the most recent statistics show another all-time record. Saskatchewan’s population was estimated to be 1,169,752 as of January 1, 2018, up 13,410 people from the previous year, as our province continues to grow. Our province could not continue to grow and support a higher population without construction in all its forms. This week, April 11–17, is Saskatchewan Construction Week. Whether it is the houses we live in, the schools our children attend, the hospitals providing health services, the roads we drive on, the bridges we cross, or the industries that improve our economy, construction is part of our every day lives. There are 13,735 businesses in Saskatchewan’s construction sector, our second largest private sector employer with over 50,000 employees in 2017. These are extremely important economic and social contributions. There will be events across the province to celebrate Saskatchewan Construction Week. Of note is the Provincial Skills Competition in Regina; good luck to all the participants. Our construction workers, our educators, our retailers, our health care workers, our industries, service organizations and volunteers; the people of our province come together to make Saskatchewan better every day. Our government will stand with our great people to defend Saskatchewan’s interests.

LETTERS TO THE
EDITOR
City Hall needs a tune-up After reading the Moose Jaw Express editorial in the March 21st edition, I couldn’t agree more. It’s not that I have a big problem with paying my share of the costs of running the city; I don’t, but I surely question the need for more and more money with no apparent belt- tightening or constraint. I do question spending priorities during difficult tax years and I wonder about the background and credentials of the people we elect to manage our affairs. Let’s face it, Garbage Gate is not one of their better decisions as a council, spending more money to get less service just doesn’t seem like a good idea to me. Snow routes is another winner I assume that has fallen into the garbage heap of failed plans as I haven’t heard anything
about them this winter. It works in many cities that set it up properly and failed here because it wasn’t. Taxes are a necessary expenditure if we want our services maintained or even improved. Now if we faced similar funding issues with our own home budgets we would most likely look at where the funds were being spent and reduce our spending accordingly. Why this doesn’t apply to Govt, at all levels beats me but it doesn’t; they will borrow rather that cut back. We may have to do with a cutback in services and I understand that but I cannot abide by the continuing rise in taxes. Not just home taxes, what about the money that is applied to our utility bills. I consider this to be taxes and we have no say, it just happens. For council, this is just like a candy store. Here is an example that sheds some light: My last water bill had to be adjusted because the previous bill was estimated and way out of whack, so the city applied the adjustment to my last bill which meant I used no water; in fact, I was given a small credit. You might think my bill would be zero but you would be
wrong. Even though I didn’t use any water my bill was still $154.38 made up of Water base fee $81.42 Sewer base fee $46.23 Recycling Fees $21.27 Garbage Fees $19.71 Credit $14.25 Total $154.38 With $0.00 used I’m not sure what Base Fees are but even excluding them we still got a tax increase of $163.92 per annum, thanks to Garbage Gate, an amount that probably represents a 5 to 10% tax increase to the average home owner. That alone makes this years tax increase look more like 15% , look at Sask Power and Sask Utilities for two other tax grabs ... Times up, we need the truth from our council representatives. Oh, by the way, we should ask about the surplus we have in our town of I think about 100 Million$ What are we saving this for????? Ken Wright
Garbage Survey Just Garbage I read the Ron Walter “Survey Sez” in the March 28th issue of the Moose Jaw Express. Here’s the problem with the Survey done by Insightrix out of Saskatoon...It was not necessary. The mayor and council were elected to represent the people of Moose Jaw and make quality decisions, based on the best information and advice available at the time. When it came to garbage pickup, they chose to go with front yard pick up, citing Moose Jaw was way behind the times as it is the way things are done in almost every other city in the province and would be more efficient. If I don’t like it, then I can let them know next election. What really jerks my chain is, they spent $10,000. on polling 200 people ($50. bucks a head), to tell us what... that some people don’t like change?? Wow; add that fee to our water bill, too. What a waste my friends. Who the heck agreed to that act of... call it what you want. To those who are making decisions for the residents of this city, try to remember, its not your money, its taxpayer money, so how about a little respect. Robert Ritchie

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express
Facebook’s expensive shares feeling the pinch, but for how long? Few companies have changed people’s habits the way Facebook has in just a few years. From an unknown social media site built to connect friends with friends, Facebook has exploded into a social media site almost dominating the lives of billions of people across the globe. Visiting personal sites and sharing personal information built the Facebook corporation into a gigantic profit earning empire. The personal pages, all that personal information from over two billion users, are an advertiser’s dream — a target advertisers will fight over to reach potential customers with their messages. That unparalleled reach to people and the information on the likes, dislikes and habits made Facebook a stock market darling. Some observers wonder if the Facebook
balloon burst weeks ago when disclosure revealed the mining and misuse of sensitive information from 50 million people in America. That information was apparently used to draft persuasive messages, false and otherwise, that would sway voters in the United States presidential election – an election Donald Trump won by the narrowest of margins. The use of information like the data mined by Cambridge Analytica of London is comparable to attempted brainwashing. The practice is despicable on two levels. One: collecting personal information without permission and using or re-selling it is repugnant and should be against the law, if it isn’t already. Two: the use of personal information to try and change a person’s mind based on psychology is also repugnant and under-

mines the principle of reasoned and reasonable discussion of issues — a central theme of a healthy democracy. Anger and outrage have filled the air at the revelations of misused information to gain votes in both the U.S. election and in the Brexit vote in Britain. The issue is far from being over. Once the political hearings are concluded and the news cycle ages, newer issues will take over the airwaves. Eventually, this scandal will be met with legal restrictions on the gathering and use of personal data and strict disclosure of how that information is used and a process allowing individuals to opt out of the collection process. The world wide web, or information highway as it was once called, has had few regulations restricting or directing traffic. The Cambridge Analytica/ Facebook in-
cident will likely insure the information highway becomes patrolled by traffic cops. Who will oversee the new traffic cops? What was a hugely profitable enterprise in Facebook will remain unmatched for advertising power even though the reputation became tarnished. The big question for investors will turn on whether Facebook’s $160 U.S. shares will still be worth almost 30 times annual profits and six times breakup value.

Rural crime concerns Byon Prairies need enforceable solutions Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express AGRIMART
EXPRESS Once upon a time farmers regularly left their doors unlocked, left keys in their vehicles. They trusted no one would steal from them or damage their property. And if someone in need came along while they were away, the unlocked home was neighbourly help. Those days are gone. Increasingly, farmers lock doors, shed their equipment under lock and key and worry about strange vehicles in the district. Nobody seems to know just when things changed, but the ripple of crime and vandalism has become a wave since the oil boom went bust in 2014. The increase of crime is coincidental with two other trends on the Prairies. Farm consolidation with fewer occupied farms and fewer farmers to see intruders in the district have made rural areas an easy target for thieves and vandals. Budget constraints at the same time reduced the number of police around to enforce the law. Law enforcement budgets are among the first to receive no increase
Easy pickings or be reduced. When rural crime wasn’t an issue rural policing budgets fell further. In time, fewer police and fewer residents over large regions of the province with less policing attracted criminals just as outdoor dishes of dog food pull in the skunks. Several recent incidents have drawn public attention to the rural crime issue. The 2016 shooting near North Battleford of an Indigenous man by a farmer in his yard is controversial over racist accusations.
More recently, a southern Alberta farmer shot and wounded a man trespassing on his property. Rural crime has become so pervasive in Alberta that video cameras are common to try and identify the perps. In the Biggar/North Battleford region, large numbers of farms throw out the unwelcome mat to visitors by padlocking farm yard gates. Farmers worry about the safety of their families and their property from unwanted intruders. Calling the police is no solu-
tion. In remote and some not so remote districts, police can’t get there for two or three hours. Some farmers no longer report property crimes, creating hardship for police requesting more officers. Rural residents deserve the same protection as urban folks. To some people, the solution lies in passing more restrictive laws. The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities convention passed a resolution asking the province to make stepping foot on any private property a trespassing offence. Currently property must be posted “no trespassing.” To be effective, a law must be easily enforceable. Declaring entry to all private property trespassing raises the question: Who will enforce the law? Laws that are difficult to enforce attract violators who don’t fear getting caught. Just watch the road for speeders and for other traffic violations. Part of the solution will be more police patrols and officers on hand; and less restrictive law enforcement budgets.

TRADING THOUGHTS
My word, how paycheques for city employees have changed since the 1960s
The search for a book on my book shelves about technical charting of stocks one morning led to an unexpected collapse of materials. Out of the materials resting on the floor came a black and white photo and two yellowed sheets of paper with some typed information on them. by Ron Walter The photo was of Moose Jaw’s colourful Mayor Scoop Lewry talking on the phone while sucking a cigar. The two sheets of paper contained information with salaries and names of 37 city employees and the mayor’s annual salary. This information 49 years ago was confidential, sensitive stuff. Not until some 30 years later was the city required to disclose salaries of employees. Scoop Lewry leaked the information to the media as part of his struggle with city council over the mayor’s salary. In 1969, the full-time mayor was paid a princely $8,220 a year. The 10-member city council had frozen the mayor’s salary two years in a row by a 6-5 vote, and was headed for a third when he leaked the information. The reason why six councillors voted to freeze the mayor’s pay was simply stated: we don’t need a full time
mayor even if his title is chief executive of the city. Many suspected the real reason for the freeze was politics. Lewry was an NDP socialist too popular to vote out of office. Freezing his salary might end his career. It didn’t work. Lewry was denied an increase for the third year because he leaked confidential salary information to the press. He went on to serve as mayor in the 1980s as well as the 1960s and 1950s. Comparing city salaries 49 years ago with modern rates is interesting. Our mayor gets paid $68,800 a year with his salary no longer at the mercy of council and petty politics. The mayor’s salary is pegged to 47 per cent of a Saskatchewan cabinet minister’s salaary. Employee salaries listed in the city’s 2016 public accounts sure are higher than in Lewry’s day. A general foreman made $7,536 a year, about one-twelfth what a sub-foreman made in 2016. The city manager’s “secretary” made $4,956 a year compared with $75,000 by the manager’s executive assistant. Three deputy fire chiefs each made $8,386. In 2106 three assistant fire chiefs averaged $105,000 each. The fire chief was paid $9,972 compared with $137,000 in 2016. Highest paid job in 1969 was city commissioner, now called city manager, at $18,500. The holder of that seat is now paid just over $198,000. The city comptroller, equivalent to the city finance director, was paid $10,656. Now that job pays about $140,000. The police chief was paid $11,124 compared with a mod-
Roy Rogers’ son coming to city with Sons of the Pioneers The legendary Sons of the Pioneers will be appearing in concert June 24 at 7:30 p.m. at the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre’s Mae Wilson Theatre featuring Dusty Rogers. The Sons of the Pioneers are synonymous with the ultimate in cowboy music. For decades the premier western singing group has musically painted unforgettable images and stories of horses, cattle, cowboys, “night herds”, tall timber, cool water, canyons and prairies. Original songs like “Tumbling Tumbleweeds”, “Cool Water” and “Ghost Riders in the Sky” are classics forever entwined in the mystique of the North American West.. Founded by Roy Rogers Sr. and the gifted songwriters (Canadian born) Bob Nolan and Tim Spencer, the group garnered national and international fans through appearance in almost 100 western films during the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. Numerous albums were recorded under contracts with Decca, Columbia, RCA and others. The group provided songs for several John Ford westerns including the soundtrack for “The Searchers” starring John Wayne. When television came along the group regularly appeared on the Roy Rogers Show and had guest appearances on such programs as the Barbara Mandrell Show. Walt Disney called upon the Pioneers to supply the soundtrack for the film “Pecos Bill”. Current members include Roy Rogers Jr,(Dusty), Tommy Nallie, Ken Lattimore, John Fullerton, and Bruce Hoffman (fiddler). The group has historically been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Western Music Association Hall of Fame and the National Cowboy Hall of Fame among others. The Smithsonian Institute named the group as “National Treasures.” Tickets will be available through the centre’s box office.
Scoop Lewry ern $160,000 salary. The personnel superintendent/purchasing agent made $9,504. In 2016: $132,000, just for human resources. The 1969 city clerk made $9,947. The city clerk/solicitor makes $148,000 and has a $100,000 a year assistant solicitor. One hopes my reader(s) found this old data as interesting as I did. I never did find my book on technical charting of stocks. Ron Walter can be reached at ronjoy@sasktel.net

Local entrepreneurs build craft distillery along Highway 42 at Brownlee By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express
Ever since building a still while working on the Tunnels of Moose Jaw, carpenter Adam Dombowsky has been interested in making hard liquor. He took up home brewed beer and served his brother Daniel one Christmas. It turned out Daniel did home brew beer too. The brewers’ thoughts kept fermenting to the point where they looked for a distillery location.
“We are taking it slow to see how much we can develop, keep the quality standard so we are proud to put our name on it.”
-Sacha Elez
“I prefer hard liquor over beer,” says Adam. “I thought it would be cool to make a living from hard liquor.” He and Daniel spent two years looking for a location in Moose Jaw. “There was just too many problems
From left Adam Dombowsky, Sacha Elez, Daniel Dombowsky
trying to get set up” from high rents, tenant improvements to the city’s need for extra reports by engineers. They bought land in Brownlee, 35 miles from Moose Jaw, to build on when a new partner, Sacha Elez came on board. He suggested they locate in the old school where he lived. Renovations to meet codes were prohibitive.

“The village council was really excited, super helpful” and asked if the village could help speed up the venture. The result: Smooth 42 Distillery moved into the vacant deteriorating rink. The name is ironic: a take on the pothole-riddled Highway 42, known as the worst highway in Saskatchewan for years — until current rebuilding is completed. “The door was falling off at the back” but the structure of laminated wooden beams is in good condition. Renovations started last February, jack hammering 15 inches of ice in the washrooms, replacing a wood floor and some joists. Adam was renovating full time. “In hindsight it would have been cheaper to build a small shop. We have almost 20,000 square feet of space, so much potential for expansion.” About one-quarter of the arena has been set aside for the distillery and a 125-seat bar. Plans for the rest involve camping events for people who want to drink and enjoy the outdoors. The first event may be in May. Their pre-release batch (135 bottles) of

the first product, Smooth 42 Vodka, 42 per cent alcohol and $42 a bottle sold out in two days with overwhelming response from buyers. “We’ve done one batch just to make sure the recipe we developed and what we thought was good also appealed to other people.” They are working on expansion of the product line with a rum brand next. Reaction from others in the craft distillery business has mentored them. “They are a friendly community,” said Elez, who owns a mobile tattoo removal business. “We are taking it slow to see how much we can develop, keep the quality standard so we are proud to put our name on it.” Their liquor is made from local grain by a still they designed. Elez does the marketing, Adam does distilling. His Saskatoon brother Daniel uses his sensitive palate as head distiller. “Craft seems to be a big thing with people getting more into one-of restaurants,” said Adam. “Demand for small breweries, small distilleries seems to be growing.”

Special performance helps stock Moose Jaw Food Bank shelves Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
One of Moose Jaw’s longest-running food bank charity events continued to get bigger and better. Dozens of performers of all skill and age levels from Dance Images by BJ took to the stage at A.E. Peacock for the annual Dance for Hunger, bringing in close to over a ton of food for the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank.
“...this is a way to teach our young dancers to be appreciative of what they have and foster a sense of giving and helping out the community.” -Shauna Bzdel, event organizer
Performers with Dance Images by BJ pose with the nearly 3,000 pounds of food donated during their Dance for Hunger campaign.
“We’ve been doing this for over 10 years, every year it’s pretty exciting,” said event organizer Shauna Bzdel, surveying the massive display of non-perishable items dropped off for the event. “Last year we were just under 3,000 pounds of food that we were able to donate, so we’re hoping this year to be right around there if not better... looking at what we have, the dancers all weekend have been bringing in food
every time they took the stage and we had a pretty good response today, so it’s pretty incredible.” The event offers parents, friends and family an opportunity to see the dancers show off their months/ years of training for a simple donation to the food bank – a unique idea that has grown into a wildly popular event, with more than 200 patrons packing the Peacock theatre that Sunday
afternoon. “Since there are a lot of dancing events throughout the city and the province where it’s the usual ‘charge a fee for everyone to get in’, we wanted to do something different where instead of having everyone charged admission, it was by a donation to the food bank,” Bzdel explained. What started as a fairly modest gathering of food has morphed into a showing that
makes a substantial difference when it comes to the food banks’ coffers. “They always appreciate this; they’ve said this is one of the times of the year when they’re definitely lower on product,” Bzdel said. “They’ve gotten through Christmas and New Years where there’s lots of need in the city and so, this is the perfect time to help them replenish the stock and provide the community something that is, sadly, quite needed.” The show this year featured a performance by the studio’s Acro program and the debut of the competitive Acro performance team in addition to a series of performances by solo, duo and trio dancers. Through the entire experience, the Dance for Hunger reinforces the need for such an event in the community for all the performers involved. “One of the focuses we put on our students is teaching them how lucky they are to be involved in dance, when there are families who are needing to use some of the programs from the city like the food bank; they aren’t thinking about dancing,” Bzdel said. “so, this is a way to teach our young dancers to be appreciative of what they have and foster a sense of giving and helping out the community.”

Business Women of Moose Jaw presents cheque to MJ Transition House
The Business Women of Moose Jaw (BWMJ) presented a cheque just short of $10,000 to the Moose Jaw Transition House on Wednesday, March 28th, following the 2018 PRISM Awards held recently. The cheque for $9,455 was presented to Executive Director of the Transition House, Lori Lancaster. The BWMJ says they are happy to support Transition House again this year, with a donation of the proceeds from the PRISM Awards. The BWMJ have been raising funds in support of the Transition House since the inception of the PRISM Awards. “We would like to thank all the businesses in Moose Jaw who have supported this event, which combined recognition of the outstanding achievements of women in our community, with a fundraising event for the Transition House,” said members of the BWMJ. In accepting the cheque, Lancaster says this will go to services that the Transition House offers in the community. “The MJ Transition House is core-funded by the government, so they cover the expenses of having the shelter operational in some programs. But, the money provided by the BWMJ goes to other programs that we run like the Life Skills program and others where we try and communicate our message and what we do in the community. So, this will extend our reach and our programming. We just want to thank the BWMJ for always supporting us in our initiatives.” The Business Women of Moose Jaw has raised approximately $94,000 in aid of the Transition House over a five-year period.

There is new leadership in the legislature but the Lyle Stewart first few weeks of the spring sitting MLA, have revealed that Lumsden-Morse some things never change. At a time when our government is on track to balance the budget, the new leader of the NDP has put forward a new $2.5 billion platform. Not only has the NDP endorsed a plan that would add $2.5 billion in new spending every year, they have yet to unveil a realistic way to pay for their promises. It is possible but unlikely that the NDP carbon tax plan for Saskatchewan could cover this kind of reckless spending. The NDP’s new leader has described our fight against the Trudeau carbon tax as a “costly and pointless crusade.” What is “costly and pointless” is a carbon tax that will hurt the industries that drive our economy and make it harder to make ends meet while doing nothing to reduce global emissions. Your Saskatchewan Party government won’t wave the white flag and let Justin Trudeau, Ryan Meili, or anyone else force their costly carbon tax plans on our province. Our government will stand with Saskatchewan people, defend Saskatchewan’s interests and fight the carbon tax. Meanwhile our government remains actively engaged and is working with the federal government to resolve issues like the grain backlog – a major concern for all of Saskatchewan. The approval of the Trans Mountain Pipeline is a step toward reducing the amount of oil transported by
rail, freeing up needed space for grain. We support the Alberta government’s threat to turn off the taps to B.C. in an effort to overcome that government’s delay tactics on the project. A strong export-based economy requires strong trade relationships. India’s High Commissioner to Canada recently visited our province, providing an opportunity for us to promote our top industries. Saskatchewan’s trade with India has nearly doubled in the past decade. Maintaining a respectful and mutually beneficial relationship is important to allowing trade to continue to grow. Additionally, our government has also offered the Prime Minister assistance to ensure our trading relationship with the United States remain strong. While the provincial and federal governments don’t agree on everything, trade is a front where a united Canada is stronger than a divided one, especially with uncertainty over the renegotiation or cancellation of the North American Free Trade Agreement. The continued focus on these important issues has allowed Saskatchewan to experience so much positive growth in the past and will carry us into the future. RBC’s Economic Outlook has upgraded Saskatchewan’s growth forecast to 2.9 per cent this year, the highest of any province in Canada. While the leadership in the legislature has changed, the choice remains clear: our government’s strong leadership, strong record of economic growth and our commitment to stand up and defend Saskatchewan’s interests or the NDP’s weak leadership, weak record on the economy and out-of-control spending.

There is More Than Just Strength in Numbers
by Dr. Steven Heidinger, Moose Jaw Chiropractor
Greek philosopher, Aristotle, wrote, “Man is a social animal.” He went on to write that without society, man is either a beast or a god. It is fair to say that humans seek social interaction to maintain mental and physiological health. Healthy societies are built and maintained through our interactions with one another. Health Canada considers social environment and the presence of social support networks as key determinants of health. It is further described that social stability within our relationships with our family, peers and workplace, along with a sense of community, contribute to the health of the individual and society as a whole. Would it surprise you to know that social interaction has a greater effect on our health than good diet and regular exercise? Research published in the Annals of Behavioural Medicine (2010), tells us that loneliness and social isolation may be far worse for our health than obesity, alcohol abuse and even smoking. Most people have a general idea of what happens to them when they have too much sugar, but most would be surprised what can happen to the body when there is not enough social interaction. The negative consequences on the human body during periods of loneliness and social isolation go far beyond just depression, anxiety and risk of suicide. Cognitive
function can decline and even the risk of Alzheimer’s disease increases with lack of social contact. The physiological effects of social isolation also contribute to an increase in cardiovascular disease, as well. Unfortunately, we have many populations in Canada who are at risk for social isolation and its consequences. Entire populations as a whole, as well as individuals, may be at risk to the negative effects of loneliness and isolation. Canada’s Indigenous groups, refugees, the disabled, elderly, children in abusive environments or victims of bullying, homosexuals, bisexuals and transgenders, and even those who live in rural Canada are just some of the people potentially at risk for isolation. Modernization has been blamed for many health issues we see today. We blame technology for making us more sedentary. We blame today’s processed foods for our worsening rates of cancer, obesity, diabetes and heart disease. We blame industrialization for the environmental stresses on the human body. Modernization and technology may also be bringing us to one of the greatest health challenges facing humans and it may actually be creating a completely new vulnerable population.

Those who access and utilize social media may be this new vulnerable population. The social media platforms that were thought to bring us all closer together may actually be doing the opposite. A study published in the Journal of American Preventive Medicine (2017) reveals social media use may be increasing a perceived sense of social isolation. This research looked at the use of 11 social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, among young adults. Social media may essentially be linked to increased mortality. Joining a gym, signing up for a boot camp, replacing meals with protein shakes or removing sugar from your diet may seem like simple strategies to improve your health compared to solving isolation and loneliness among those who are vulnerable. How can we get kids away from their screens and back to face to face “playing

with their friends? Iceland for example was able to significantly curb substance abuse (a symptom of social isolation) among adolescents when policy makers, law enforcement, educators and parents committed time and money towards improving all kids’ access to recreation activities, sports and arts, providing alternatives to high risk behaviours and improving social interaction within and outside the home. For isolated populations like seniors (rural and urban), disabled and even refugees, offering more community based outreach programs will help to integrated these individuals and groups into society. There should be an attitude of “no one left behind”. Volunteerism will be essential for programs like these to succeed. We have a new silent killer out there and this may be one of the toughest to curtail.
From The Kitchen
Di verse re cipe c o l le ctio n pu bl is hed i n 1959 By Joyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express
In 1959 a bookbook was produced that was considered the most diverse collection of recipes to be found in North America. American Cookery was made up of a series of recipes that authors felt showcased the meeting place and melting pot created by people of many lands coming together to share their cuisine. This week’s recipes come from one section of American Cookery, Recipes for Parties and Meals. • • • Boston Baked Beans 2 cups navy beans 1 1/2 quarts cold water 1/2 lb. salt pork 4 tbsps. light molasses 1-2 tsps. salt 1/2 tsp. mustard hot water Wash beans and drain. Place in a large pot and add cold water. Boil for two minutes then remove from heat. Let soak one hour. May also be soaked overnight in a cool place. Boil soaked beans gently in the same water for 45 minutes or until they begin to soften. Cut salt pork into small pieces and place half in a bean pot or deep baking dish. Add beans and bury rest of the pork in the beans. Mix molasses, salt and mustard with a little hot water. Pour over the beans and add enough hot water to cover beans. Cover dish. Bake in a 250 degrees F oven for 6-7 hours. From time to time add a little hot water. During the last hour of baking, remove lid to let beans brown on top. Serves 6-8. Note: six pork spareribs may be substituted for the salt pork. • • • Horseradish With Coleslaw Salad 1 envelope (1 tbsp.) unflavoured gelatin 1/4 cup cold water 1/2 cup boiling water 1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing 1/3 cup prepared horseradish
1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. paprika 1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped 1 small head red cabbage, finely shredded 1/4 cup diced green pepper 2 tbsps. dried pimiento mayonnaise or salad dressing salt and pepper Soften gelatin in cold water. Add boiling water and stir until dissolved. Combine with the mayonnaise or salad dressing, horseradish and salt and paprika. Fold in whipped cream and pour into a bowl or mold and chill until firm. Toss cabbage with green pepper, pimiento and just enough mayonnaise to moisten. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Unmold the gelatin on a platter and surround with the coleslaw. Serve with more mayonnaise. Serves 4-6. Alternately, add cabbage mixture to mayonnaise mixture before placing in mold to firm. • • • Fish Bun Broil 12 hotdog buns 6 large sardines or pickled herring 1 egg white, beaten stiff 3/4 cup mayonnaise 2 tbsps. chopped onion melted butter or margarine Cut buns lengthwise. Fit sardines or herring on one half of buns. Beat egg white until stiff then fold into mayonnaise. Place a line of mixture over fish. Sprinkle finely chopped onion over mayonnaise. Brush other bun halves with melted butter. Arrange all buns on a cookie sheet. Place sheet under broiler or in a 425 degrees F oven until lightly browned and both fish and buns are piping hot. Place buttered half on top of fish. Slice into bite-sized pieces or serve each bun as a meal, with salad. Joyce Walter can be reached at ronjoy@sasktel.net

Music Festival showcases local talents; praised by adjudicator Sasha-Gay Lobban
The talents of youths across the community were once again put on display as the 2018 Moose Jaw Music Festival got underway March 26 and March 27 at Zion United Church. The two-day event saw school and community choirs performing at the festival where they had the opportunity to hear feedback from musical director, Dr Melissa Morgan. This year’s festival saw performances from 12 choirs to include: St Michael School Elementary Choir, Vanier Collegiate Choir, Central Collegiate, Cornerstone Christian Choir, Peacock Collegiate and community choir, RuBarb Youth Chorus. Morgan said she was impressed by the talents of the choirs. “I did two full days of adjudicating and I think the choirs in Moose Jaw are wonderful. It is so nice that a city this size has so many good school choirs. I heard 12 choirs from schools and the community and it is exciting. Not ev-
Cornerstone Christian School Concert Choir and Vocal Jazz performs. ery city has a festival of two full days of choir participation. That is rare, and it was great to see in Moose Jaw.” Morgan says students and the community get to benefit from this two-day event as it aims to sharpen their skills for future performances. “This festival is non-competitive but the benefit of it is that they
get workshop and clinic time. A person is brought in to work with the choirs and share information on how the choirs can improve so that if they choose to enter competitions, they have the skills and tools that they need to do so and if they are just seeking to improve themselves.” She encourages the community to contin-
ue showing support for the choirs, saying that Moose Jaw is filled with great talents in music. “There are some wonderful teachers in this community and talented students and accompanists. I am honored to be here and hope that this festival continues. I hope to see a lot more people supporting the event going forward.” Josh Carlet, music teacher of the Cornerstone Christian School Concert Choir and Vocal Jazz, said he was happy with the feedback from the adjudicator. The school has been participating in the festival for over 10 years. “It’s always great to get some extra ideas from clinicians and bring our performance to the next level. We’ve been practicing for a couple months and we’re happy to have been part of this year’s festival.” The festival continues April 22-29 with individual adjudications in a variety of instrumental and vocal classes.
REFLECTIVE MOMENTS
Hopefully geese aren’t discouraged by spring snow There are sure signs that spring is here — winter storms after the first day of the new season, flocks of geese contemplating a return to the South, and most importantly, my tulips poking through the icy ground, at least six weeks before they are safe from their tips turning black from a late frost. Yes, this is spring as we know it, with all the changes in weather patterns and foreJoyce Walter casters not being entirely sure For Moose Jaw Express of what each day will bring —whether rain, snow, fog, or unseasonable conditions that would confuse the most savvy goose. With the most snow of the winter coming in March, it is fitting that I still follow my Dad’s premise that winter tires go on around November 15 and come off near to or closely after April 15. The take-off date usually allows for the April showers that come as freezing snow. Other old-timers nod sagely when I explain my winter tire rou-
tine. The Easter weekend is normally a time for searching through the closets to check out the spring and summer clothing that was put away for fall and winter. Checks must be made on whether there are buttons missing or seams that need sewing, or indeed, whether last year’s styles will lend themselves to yet another year’s worth of wear. In many cases, the clothing bunched onto the hangers last fall had already served me well for more than one summer, and unless further closet-shrinking has taken place, there’s likely more life left in those blouses and light-weight slacks. My one pair of shorts will certainly be sufficient considering they are never worn outdoors where someone might laugh uproariously when they see me in them, complemented by my very black, knee-high compression stockings. I have indeed become my granny and aunts. The puddles in the streets are another spring circumstance that bodes well for the car wash establishments. It will soon be time to remove the rubber mats for cleansing and rubble removal and it would be prudent to get the duster out to cleanse the upholstery and remove the cobwebs and dust that has accumulated over winter. There’s also a
scum on the inside of the windows that hints in the winter that the defrost doesn’t work — it works but does not remove dust and grunge. I understand calves and lambs are being born on nearby farms and soon, wild crocuses will bloom in the pastures that will eventually be warmed by a springtime sun. And soon will follow the dandelions, buds on the trees and sprouts of greenery popping up in yards that have been covered by banks of snow and even some leaves that were not fully removed in the autumn. Green thumb advocates will be planting seeds for growth in on-site greenhouses, preparing in advance for the May long weekend when gardeners typically sow for a new season of produce and flowers. And what about spring cleaning? Yes, what about it? How about leaving that chore so it may be called winter cleaning, perhaps in time for Christmas. But not now when the geese are honking overhead and the robins are likely filing their flight path to return to their favourite nesting spots right here in Moose Jaw. Happy Spring.

CORNER Training For the Olympics The talk in the dressing room was about the recent passing of the “China Clipper” and when I discovered they were talking about Larry Kwong, who was the first Chinese Canadian to play in the NHL (for a one minute shift as a New York Ranger) I was somewhat upset. Upset that an important NHL(?) player, the China Clipper had passed away and upset that an important person in my life, the real China Clipper, Normy Kwong, had passed away two years ago and I had not heard. To me he was someone from my east end Calgary neighby Dale “BUSHY” Bush bourhood who had made a huge mark in professional sports and then remained in the same neighbourhood he grew up in, and when I heard the news that Normy Kwong had passed away I was truly saddened. When I was growing up in the 1960’s, the Kwong family had been a part of everyday life in our neighbourhood of Bridgeland-Riverside simply because of their business holdings. The Riverside Grocery was next to “Normy Kwong’s” Holiday Cleaners and the whole neighbourhood patronized both, one to get fresh fruit, vegetables and groceries and one to dry-clean any stains from fresh fruit, vegetables and groceries. The kids in the neighbourhood knew that he had been a professional football player and I suppose we all thought that every neighbourhood had an ex CFL fullback who did our dry cleaning, but it wasn’t until a few years later that I learned what a magnificent fullback he had been. He was not as big as you would think an ex-football player would be, but despite his small physical size he could carry the old pigskin and he carried the ball for 9,022 yards with an average of over five yards a carry. No wonder he won accolades and awards along with four Grey Cups for his athletic achievements. But perhaps his greatest achievement was that he was the first Chinese-Canadian to play in the
Canadian Football League. From my point of view as a born and raised Calgarian and Stampeders fan the only flaw in Normy Kwong’s All-Star Hall of Fame CFL career was when he played for the Edmonton Eskimos, and sadly won three Grey Cups. Ask any Stampeders’ fan and they will probably feel the same way about any Calgarian playing on an Edmonton team . . . any Edmonton team! After football, the “China Clipper” became a successful Calgary businessman and eventually became a major shareholder in a NHL hockey team, the NHL’s Calgary Flames, which moved from Atlanta a year earlier. I thought it was pretty cool that someone I knew from our Bridgeland community could be a part owner of a professional hockey team that played just a few blocks away from the hood in the old Calgary Corral. Talk about keeping it close to home. He was regular folk and when I met him once at a Flames game I was absolutely stunned when he remembered and called me by my nickname, Bushy. The ability to remember names and faces would be an asset later in his life when he began to be involved in politics and when he ran for MLA in the old neighbourhood riding he narrowly lost to an incumbent. A few years later he began to receive the many honors he deserved. He was inducted in to the Order of Canada and for many years was Alberta’s Lieutenant-Governer and received many medals of merit which is very cool for a kid from the east end of Calgary. The guys in the dressing room are probably tired of me bragging about the real China Clipper, but he was someone from my neighbourhood who the entire neighbourhood looked up to. Rest in peace both of you China Clippers.
$388 Million Investment in Saskatchewan Agriculture AGRIMART
EXPRESS The Federal Government and the Government of Saskatchewan have made an agreement to support advancements in innovation, growth and prosperity for farmers and food processors in the agricultural sector in Saskatchewan.

Annual collectibles show appealing to many despite heavy snowfall By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express
Snow couldn’t keep people from attending and buying at the annual antiques collectibles/used cart parts show in Moose Jaw. Organizers were surprised at the turnout on the first day while snow fell deep and blew around. Vendors and show organizers from the Sukanen Ship Museum and Pioneer Village were equally surprised the second day of the show when attendance was strong and steady most of the day. Someone suggested the first day’s attendance was so good as there was nothing else to do. Another suggested the second day was strong because of people who missed over the snow. Vendors were, for the most part, happy. “It was steady,” said Erin Kinder of Kinder Antiques near Davidson. “It let people take time to look and ask questions. That’s better than big crowds.” The show seemed to have more art work and more collectible advertising signs than usual. One vendor had some vintage Coca-Cola signs featured prominently. “I use the Coke signs to attract people,” he explained. Several vendors had boxes of old gopher traps. Meccano “I got him down to $35 on that sign from $50,” boasted one buyer. Another visitor was browsing through a clothes basket of CDs picking out favourites for $1 each when the vendor offered to give him a deal on the whole basket. “$20 bucks?” “Sold.” A used car parts vendor from Manitoba has been attending for 14 years, Tables by Gerry Waslen of Moose Jaw included stuff from the family’s former antique store on South Hill. Among the items was a collection of tiny Match Box cars and trucks. “I want everything to go,” said Waslen. One couple left the hall each with an old wooden crank telephone under their arm. “For better communication?” joked an observer. Only two vendors from Regina were unable to show Display up. One Saskatoon visitor on the second day joked he should be paid to come after the difficulty driving to Moose Jaw, with cars in the ditch along the highway.

City moving ahead with curbside collection Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
The city of Moose Jaw will being moving ahead with curbside collection after all. After extensive discussion during the executive committee meeting on Mar. 26, a motion by Mayor Fraser Tolmie to implement full curbside garbage collection throughout the city and to include in depth community notification and information was officially passed. The motion will see the city move to full implementation as of June 1, 2018 and that the city charge $7.25 per month to each resident receiving waste collection service. The decision came out of a recently conducted survey that showed 85 per cent of respondents preferred the current garbage collection method until informed curbside pickup would save the city $152,000 per year, after which the number in favour of back lane pick-up dropped to 51 per cent. For Tolmie, it’s largely a matter of moving forward as a community when it comes to how we deal with waste materials. “We have to honestly look at this subject and where the city wants to go with our future garbage habits and recycling,” he said. “We’re teaching kids in schools these days about recycling, but we seem to have a bit of an issue walking the talk in this city. This, for me, is a change in habits. It’s inconvenient, but it brings to the forefront the thought that needs to be put in when it comes to being environmentally friendly as a community. “It doesn’t have to be overnight, but we should move forward. We should do so with an engagement process and letting everyone know what’s going to happen and how it’s going to happen.”
Coun. Don Mitchell took issue with how 80 per cent of survey respondents initially were in favour of maintaining back alley pick-up until the financial implications were brought into the equation. “I just can’t believe that with an 80 per cent general response to remaining in the alleys that we would stick to full curbside implementation,” Mitchell said. “Talk about dismissing the people that we represent, they’re not confused, they understand it well and the arguments are pretty clear in terms of alley design and access.” Mitchell pointed out that given how narrow some streets in the city are and the way some of the older areas are set up and the amount of room available curbside might be extremely difficult. “Some are easier to accommodate, but in some areas we’ll be causing a great amount of stress and reaction if we proceed without what people said, which is reinforced by this survey,” Mitchell said. Coun. Dawn Luhning spoke in favour of the issue, pointing out that other communities have curbside pick-up and have few difficulties, and that the efficiencies of the process would outweigh the difficulties in the end. Discussion also took place in regards to the bi-weekly pick-up schedule, including a suggestion to go to weekly in the summer months, but no motions were made in that direction and further discussion will take place in the future.
Tax assessment numbers revealed
The regular council meeting received the summary report from the Board of Revision for 2017 tax assessment repeals, revealing that 216 regular appeals were received
this year. A total of 112 of those were resolved by an agreement to adjust, 63 went to hearing and 39 of those were allowed. The total change resulted in a decrease of $40,927,420 to the assessment roll, $34,562,020 of that coming from commercial properties. Saskatchewan property assessments undergo a province-wide re-evaluation on a four-year cycle, with the next revision to take place in 2021. ****
Defeated development levy bylaw to get another look
Mayor Tolmie also spoke to ongoing controversy surrounding the development levy bylaw and brought forth a procedural motion to enable council to take another look at the defeated legislation. While the city generally doesn’t re-introduce defeated bylaws in the same budget year, Tolmie invoked Section 53 of city procedure bylaw 5176 -- requiring two-thirds support of council’s membership present -- to temporarily suspend the rule of procedure and direct city administration to file a report to executive committee outlining the merits of the development bylaw. “My understanding is that council appreciates the need for the development levy bylaw and that as a council we wish to re-address this matter,” Tolmie said. “We also have a process in place for such circumstances, that is the purpose this motion... The motion will allow council to address concerns with the bylaw that were not brought up at the time.” The motion passed unanimously.
Learning for the future in agri-business Dr. David Kohl had a single goal when it came to his recent RBC-sponsored speaking series ‘Positioning for Success in the Economic Reset’ farm, ranch and agriculture presentation in Moose Jaw. “If we just touch on one thing in people’s lives and help them, if they can take one or two things away from this and put them to use, my trip to Moose Jaw and through Saskatchewan will be successful,” Kohl said prior to his two-hour seminar at Mae Wilson Theatre on Mar. 26. More than 200 people took the opportunity to hear from the Virginia Tech Professor Emeritus of Agricultural and Applied Economics, and for good reason – Kohl brings an astonishing level of expertise and experience to the field and has spent his academic lifetime keeping up the trends and designs that keep modern farms working at the highest level possible. His wide-ranging presentation touched on a host of subjects, from international trade, NAFTA and the Pan Pacific trade agreement to engineering and technology, purchasing habits and even how water – something taken for granted in this part of the world – is going to affect farm and ranching all over the world in the not too distant future. “If you really look at it, water really drives the economics not only of certain areas but whole countries and that’s something that should be of interest to farmers and ranchers,” Kohl said. “You go into various areas of the states and you have farms and populations that are migrating because of a shortage of water. And it’s not just the amount of water, it’s the quality

Dr. David Kohl delivers his presentation ‘Positioning For Success in the Economic Reset’ at the Mae Wilson Theatre. of water and how it can be used in efficient ways... Oftentimes, I’d take a visionary route of 10, 15 years with something like this but the problem is today, in such a short-run nanosecond world, sometimes we choke ourselves off in the short run and can’t get by in the long run.” That also applies when it comes to trade, especially in North America. Current major pacts and deals could have an extreme effect on farming, to the point that not paying attention or caring could be fatal. “I think it’s front and center, whether it’s
Canada or the United States,” Kohl said. “Some of the recent things on NAFTA and some of the things on the Pan Pacific trade agreement can make a big difference when it comes to farm profits and farm values. That’s one of our greatest risks.” For North America, that especially applies to NAFTA and the current and ongoing negotiations to create a modern version of the decades-old three-nation trade pact. “Any agreement that’s 20-25 years old, sure it should be looked at,” Kohl said.
“And when you take Canada, Mexico and the United States, we’re 30 per cent of the world’s economy. So hopefully we’ll be able to work through some of the things that are going on south of the border and create something that works.” A major part of Kohl’s seminar was a 12-point presentation that touched on a series of factors he’s seen in farm and ranch businesses, both successful and unsuccessful. As it turns out, what applies to farms in Australia or Africa or the United States also applies to farms in Canada, including some aspects that might not even be considered in this part of the world. “We operate a farm business ourselves, so I’m passing on some of my own experiences of what works and doesn’t work... but overall interacting with audiences all over the world, you see so many common threads,” Kohl said. “The whole thing is called the compounding effect. You see how things are being done in other parts of the world, things that work and don’t work, and you compound your knowledge with everyone else.” Kohl’s visit was part of a string of such talks in Saskatchewan, continuing his long-standing relationship with RBC. “RBC is making an investment in the future with this and I applaud them for creating this kind of speaking series,” he said. “I’ve been involved with RBC for 33 years, and I think it really shows the investment RBC and their team members are putting back into farming and ranching as well as the communities as a whole.”

Flying Fins Impress:
Swim club brings home 44 medals, finishes fourth overall in club standings Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
The Moose Jaw Kinsmen Flying Fins turned in another exceptional performance during the Long Course Prairie Championships in Regina during the Mar. 23 weekend. The club won a total of 44 medals, including 20 gold, to finish in fourth place overall, a performance coach Laura Harvey felt might be in the works given their recent success and continued superlative effort in training leading up to Prairies. “It didn’t surprise me, from what they’ve been doing in practice,” Harvey said. “They’ve been working really hard and swimming super-fast in practice. We had a meet in Winnipeg a few weeks ago where they really showed they were ready to race hard... So coming into this meet, I knew that they would do well.” Especially impressive was the Fins’ finish in the overall club standings – the only teams to finish ahead of them were the major ones from Regina and Saskatoon. “We’re competing against clubs that have 150 to 250 swimmers and our club’s competitive team is about 40, so we’re not doing too bad,” Harvey said. Danael Liew was among the Fins’ top performers at the event with seven medals in the 13-and-under boys division, six

High school badminton kicks off season Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
It’s the shortest and quickest of all high school sports, and after a later-than-usual start, it promises to be even more compact this time around. Players from all five of the local high schools, in addition to a handful of schools from rural areas took to the court at Peacock on Mar. 27 to kick off the senior high school badminton season. This year, it’ll be three league nights and then straight into the city championships, followed by districts, regionals and provincials all on quick order – what started in the final week of March will be over the second week of May. “We didn’t have the first league night because there were so many teams at Hoopla (provincial basketball tournament) so it’s going to be shorter, but we’re still expecting some pretty good competition,” said league organizer Jeff Kitts. “It looking pretty good, there are a lot of experienced kids out and that always helps make things move smoothly and keeps the competitive level pretty high.” If the first night of play is any indication, there will be plenty of new faces at the top of their respective divisions after the city championships. The girls singles division saw Cornerstone’s Rung Thai take first place, reigning junior city champion Meisie Chamberlain of Vanier in second and senior bronze medalist Katie Coulson take third. Boys singles was won in commanding fashion by Mort-
at cities a year ago. Central’s Shay Zeigler and Selena Huynh landed second and the junior silver medalists from last year Alexia Aikman and Skylar Ackerman of Peacock finished third. Reigning city boys doubles champion Liam Kerr of Central was back in first place alongside new partner Carter Voth; Riley Dombowsky and John Ferris of Cornerstone were second and junior gold medalists from 2017 Cooper Cole and Logan Hauser of Vanier took third. It was a Central sweep in mixed doubles as reigning league champions Brendan and Ashlyn Jesse finished second to teammates Alex Yee and Dream Perez on opening night; Ahalagi Dukuly and Sydney Booth were third. “Especially the first night, it’s pretty balanced,” Kitts said. “Then we’ll see people pull away... we have some experienced boys and girls doubles teams that made it to regionals last year. But it’s hard to say right now because Peacock’s Allison Billy serves in front off teammate a lot of schools haven’t had a lot of practice time. That’s Chantal Usher during high school girls doubles bad- how the first night seems to work, kind of practice night where you get out on the floor, meet the new opponents minton action Tuesday. and kind of figure out how things are going to go.” The next two league nights will be on Apr. 10 and Apr. lach’s Micah Simrose, with Central’s Spencer Newans 17, followed by the city championships on Apr. 24, dissecond and Cornerstone’s Joel Goddard third. tricts on Apr. 28, regionals on May 5 and provincials in In girls doubles, the Peacock team of Allison Billy and Wilkie on May 2.

Warriors, Raiders go to Game 7 Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
The Moose Jaw Warriors appeared to have the Prince Albert Raiders right where they wanted. Two games later, they were playing for their playoff lives, just like the Raiders had been the previous two nights. The Warriors and Raiders took the ice at Mosaic Place on Apr. 3 in the seventh and deciding game of their Western Hockey League Eastern Conference quarter-final series – a series that the Warriors had two chances to close out and fell short both times, allowing 10 goals in the process. Raiders 5, Warriors 4 Warriors forward Brayden Burke did all he could to follow up on his post-game onair comments to Marc Smith of Country 100 that the team needed to play better after Game 5’s disappointing performance. It turns out his two goals and two assists in Game 6 wouldn’t be enough, as the Raiders took advantage of a slew of neutral zone turnovers and failed clearing attempts and peppered Warriors goaltender Brody Willms with a slew of outstanding scoring chances on their way to forcing the deciding game in the series. Willms ended up making 32 saves, 18 in the second period alone, but couldn’t hold the fort in the face of the continuous onslaught. Cole Fonstad had a pair of goals for the Raiders while Curtis Miske, Sean Montgomery and former Moose Jaw Generals standout Regan Nagy had their other goals. Jayden Halbgewachs – with his first of the series after scoring 70 goals in the regular season – and Brett Howden had the other

Ian Scott continued his solid play in the series and made 16 saves in the win. Raiders 5, Warriors 1 Facing elimination, the Raiders turned in an impressive performance and took advantage of another discordant home-ice showing by the Warriors to send the series back to Prince Albert. The Warriors carried play in the first period, outshooting the Raiders 13-4 but still found themselves trailing 2-0 on goals

from Montgomery and Parker Kelly. Max Martin put Prince Albert ahead 3-0 midway through the third before Justin Almeida’s shot from the point snuck past the Raiders’ Ian Scott to put the Warriors on the board. That would be as close as they’d get, as Montgomery and Miske added third period goals, with Miske’s marker sending Willms to the bench in favour of Adam Evanoff for the second time in the series. Willms made 17 saves in taking the loss, while Evanoff had four stops. Scott turned

Genealogy Society learns Sask. German history Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express
It might come as a surprise to you but when it comes to ancestries of people in Saskatchewan, Germans are actually just as numerous as English. In fact, the two ancestries are essentially tied, when it comes to one and two in the overall population. Even more interesting? Let’s have long-time genealogical educator and researcher David Wessel explain that... “I got curious about it for genealogy purposes, because when I looked at the early census it would say 20 per cent of the people in Regina speak German, but one per cent of the people who speak German are from Germany,” Wessel said. “So they came from places other than Germany, primarily the part of Russia that is part of Ukraine, as well as the Austria-Hungary empire and places like that. So we’re going to go back 500 years and talk about how did they get outside Germany, outside Austria before they got here.” The Regina-based Wessel was in Moose Jaw to speak to the local branch of the Saskatchewan Genealogy Society, during their most recent meeting at the Moose Jay Public Library. His presentation discussed German settlement and history in the province and how the changing borders of Europe led to the unusual stat of non-German German speakers in Saskatchewan. The general answer is the wide combination of famine
happened in 1871, or some proclamation that happened in 1603 or 1709.” Wessel is a computer programmer by trade, but, like so many others interested in genealogy, he became curious about where he was from going back in history further than just his grandparents. That led to genealogy, in general, and his fascination with the subject. “It was just something I got curious about, the history of my own family, which doesn’t include any Germans from Russia,” Wessel said with a laugh. “Back in the 90s, I got involved in the studies and just kept at it.” Having Wessel speak to their branch was something local president Marge Cleave hoped would potentially help other researchers find threads that could help them in their own historical quest. Regina-based genealogist David Wessel begins his presentation on German settlement and history in Saskatchewan. and wars that led to changing borders over hundreds of years, spreading the German population throughout Europe. Wessel’s talk went into the deeper intricacies of how it all came together and led to the kind of migration into Saskatchewan that created today’s census numbers. “It’s all embedded in the bigger flow of history,” Wessel explained. “We might be here because of some war that
“It’s always interesting to get new ideas and new thoughts on different nationalities, we haven’t German for a long time,” Cleave said. “It’s good for those who are researching Germany to get some more information, every little bit can help.” The Moose Jaw branch of the Saskatchewan Genealogy Society meets the fourth Tuesday of every month, featuring a special guest speaker providing information on various topic of interest to those researching their own family trees and beyond.
Model train show attracts hundreds to Western Development Museum By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express
Snow be darned, the Thunder Creek Model Train Show entertained hundreds of folks from all ages for two days. Demonstrations and displays came from Edmonton, Calgary and Nanton in Alberta and from Prince Albert, Saskatoon, Regina, Swift Current, Martensville and Moose Jaw clubs “It seems to have a pretty good turnout,” said Thunder Creek Model Rail Road Club spokesman Barry Johnson. “The weather hasn’t been that co-operative. We hope everybody enjoys it.” A couple of exhibitors were unable to make it due to the snowfall. The Western Development Museum show location was bulging with displays. “We love our venue,” said Johnson. “Working with the WDM as partners is fantastic for us.” But space has limits since three new exhibits, a float plane, a vintage paver and car were added. “We have to be more careful of who we bring in, where we can put them.” Some larger displays can’t be accommodated any longer. A unique exhibit this year was a model of the Saulteaux Bridge from Wakamow Valley. The 180-foot long former PFRA pasture bridge was re-located and installed across the Moose Jaw River. The scale model, built by the Canadian military for its voluntary installation across the river, was in storage at Wakamow. Wakamow manager Margaret Moran asked the club if it would build scenes for the bridge so it can be displayed. The club is about three-quarters through the building of grass and tree environment around the seven-foot long model, said Johnson. “The scale is one to 20, a little different for us.” The club usually works with one to 87 scale. Youngsters love to see the model trains operate in their created habitat and the clubs would like to see more young people join. “We’d like to see more young people involved,” said Johnson. “Kids go nuts over it but we don’t get many young people interested in it.” Parental guidance is usually needed and parents are pretty busy, he added. Displays also came from Meccano builders and the Radio-controlled Aircraft Club.

Schools raise flags in support of gender diversity Sasha-Gay Lobban
To mark and recognize, Gender Diversity Awareness Week, flags were raised across the province to show solidarity and support. Moose Jaw showed its support by signing a proclamation declaring March 25-31 Gender Diversity Awareness Week and raising flags at Peacock and Central Collegiates. Joe Wickenhauser, executive director of Moose Jaw Pride said this was an important symbol of support from the Moose Jaw community. “This is an important symbol of visibility for people to know that there are trans and gender diverse people in

This is the reason that it is important for our schools to have policies that protect students who do identify that way and that we have spaces that are safe and welcoming for trans and gender diverse students. It is really nice for the students who are trans and gender diverse to come and see the staff, teachers and board members who support them and are behind them in creating that safe space.” He added that there are flags being raised across the province in support of Gender Diversity Awareness Week. “We’ve raised the flags at both Peacock and Central. There was a flag raising on Monday, March 26 at the Provincial Legislature and one at Sask. Polytechnic. There are flag raisings happening across the province to
show support for gender diversity. I think that it’s great to see the support from the community. We encourage people to support our events in learning about trans and gender diversity in the community. There are a lot of misunderstandings and we want to invite people to know more.” Peacock Principal Dustin Swanson said the school supports inclusivity and awareness of trans and gender diversity. “The reality is that we’re having conversations and we’re doing things like raising flags and creating a momentum in having wonderful things happening in our schools because of the work of the leadership of our school division, and the heart and spirit of the students in our school. It is wonderful that we are doing this; celebrating and accepting diversity.”
Speaker emphasizes pro-life being pro-women Sasha-Gay Lobban
Moose Jaw Right to Life held its annual banquet recently at Church of Our Lady Community Centre. Centred on the theme and question, “How can we win politically in the pro-life movement?” guest speaker Alissa Golob emphasized the need for pro-life policies in Saskatchewan and by extension, Canada. Golob is a passionate young woman fighting for women’s rights and supporting whole-heartedly the pro-life movement. “When people tell you that because you are pro-life you are against women’s rights, you tell them you are prolife because you are pro women. That you want to expand women’s rights by protecting them from the womb to the tomb.” She gave examples of living in Toronto near an abortion clinic and witnessing girls being dragged in to do abortions. “These girls are broken,” she said. “They are not liberated. When they chose violence against their own child, it’s not empowerment. It’s oppression, oppression towards women because we as a society have failed to meet their needs, and oppression toward the innocent unborn child, whose heart is beating and is yearning for love and comfort, not death. As pro-life Canadians, we need to offer life affirming options to women, not life ending ones,” she emphasized.

In 2016, Golob, along with some of her colleagues, co-founded Right Now, a pro-life organization that is dedicated to nominating and electing pro-life candidates and educating people on how easy it is to become involved and make a difference politically. She disagrees with the view that laws won’t change until the culture changes. Drawing on examples from the United States, she says the pro-life movement was able to pass 200 incremental state laws such as parental consent and ultrasound legislation. She wishes to see similar actions in Saskatchewan and by extension, Canada. Moose Jaw’s Right to Life’s mission is to promote the sanctity of all human life from conception to natural death through public education, service and prayer.

Benjamin Franklin once said, “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” Lil Sweet Pea and I have been talking about maxims, an adage or saying that expresses a general truth or rule of conduct. She picked this maxim to further discuss and research the benefits of. As I worked alongside her, I realized that this simple motto has the power to improve one’s life! As much as we tend to blame our circumstances, the economy, society or our work for the stress we are under, we could greatly improve our quality of life if we would follow Benjamin Franklin’s advice. There are many benefits to going to bed early and rising early. One of the first benefits to going to bed early is a better sleep. Are you sleeping poorly? Maybe the first trick is to move your bedtime up an hour or two. It is said that the best times to go to bed are between 9:00 and 10:00 PM. The later our bedtime, the less productive we become. I’ve also heard that one hour of sleep before midnight is worth two after. A way to change your bedtime is to go to bed earlier by 15 minute intervals each night until your desired bedtime. The same works for the morning by setting your alarm 15 minutes earlier each morning until the desired wake-up time. As one develops a sleep routine, you’ll find that you’ll get to the point you won’t need an alarm to rise. I know you think this is impossible because you drag yourself out of bed each morning at the last possible moment but you will find your body will awaken when it has had enough sleep when it is given the chance to perform properly. I know this because I’ve experienced this. Getting out of bed earlier than most gives you an edge; a psychological advantage in which you feel more in charge of your day. Mike Tyson trained at 4:30 AM each morning because he knew his opponents would still be in bed. It helps you to have clearer thinking, more time to think and prepare for the day. It gives you the opportunity to quiet yourself and spend time with renewing your mind with the Word of God and in prayer. Psalm 63:1 says “O God, You are my God; Early will I seek You...” The best way to start the day is with Jesus! When we put Him first, He will put us first. You know the Mary/Martha story from Luke: Martha was distracted with her “list” – all the things she had to do for that day but Jesus challenged her to spend time with Him. “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “You are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” My nephew was an early bird when he was little. When his papa suggested that he didn’t need to get up so early on his sleepover, my nephew assured him he wouldn’t get up with the birds... He would wake the birds up! This is the attitude we should have in life. If you’re struggling with a good sleep, declare this promise over your sleep every night: “When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.” Then begin a good morning routine and seize the day! There’s a great day to be had! Scripture references: Proverbs 3:21-26

ROB’S RANTS Guest Editorial
It has been a great week for the newspaper world!! Last week, Facebook and its number of companies, including Google, were found out for inappropriately harvesting personal information or data mining in other terms. In my presumptions, harvesting is reaping something that you have sowed, but this harvesting by Facebook is stealing a harvest of information that were seeds planted by individuals for their own benefit, in the simplest terms it is data misappropriation. If consumers and advertisers do not have a sour taste in their mouths, regarding this social media site, then the problem is deeper than anyone can imagine, and people are blinded by their ignorance. Granted, I am not a proponent of Facebook. I can’t deny that; its just that I have never trusted the medium, don’t like it and thus there is no Facebook account for me. I have said this many times before! Social media is not social commerce!! I absolutely refuse to buy anything from an advertiser that continues to irritate me because they are intrusive of my time on the Internet. I certainly am not interested in their offerings and hate the fact that they manipulate my searches. Thank God for www.adblockplus.org, which eliminates this trash. Donald Trump has one thing right, there is a lot of fake news out there and the Internet continues to spread that, as they are not held to the high regulations that newspapers adhere to. The fact that all your personal information that you share with family and friends is data-mined, scares the heck out of me. If you write something about another part of the world that you don’t like and if all levels of governments are hacking your life, don’t be too surprised if you end up on a no-fly list; your life may not really be your own, as control seems to be the key. Mark Zuckerberg said, “We have a responsibility to protect your data, and if we can’t then we don’t deserve to serve you. I’ve been working to understand exactly what happened and how to make sure this doesn’t happen again.” Here’s the problem with that statement; they don’t serve you. They lie to you and they steal your heart and soul from you to promote their cause, Facebook is simply self-serving, and they are freaked out now about the backlash from users and investors. I bet behind closed doors they are wondering how the heck the public found out, and will continue to try and protect themselves so it won’t happen again. “Protect your data”, Come on! It’s not about your security, its about polluting your computer with invasive, unwanted and unregulated advertising and raping you of your personal information to use against you to influence you in the way you should think.

In Zuckerberg’s defence, in 2014 they introduced ‘reduced access’ to outside apps; wow, amazing, and with the old 2014 technology in 2018 in an industry that changes every day, this again just shows disrespect for its uses and reduces any competition. Where the heck are the regulations as imposed on the printed word??? Obviously, it’s far beyond the intelligence of any 9 - 5 government body. Admittedly, Cambridges’ goals were to influence peoples perceptions by interjecting fake content or fake news, to sway their thoughts and opinions, molding the minds of the weak. On the other hand, newspapers are still held to a higher standard: to report the news and let the reader make his/her own decision. That’s real news, but columns such as this are the writer’s personal opinions, not necessarily the opinions of the newspaper. Want to get off Facebook? Good luck….Not surprisingly, Facebook doesn’t make it easy to leave. To permanently delete your account, you need to make a request to the company. The process can take several days, and if you log in during this time, your request will be cancelled. It can take up to 90 days to delete everything. There’s a less permanent way to leave, deactivation, which hides your profile from everyone but lets you return if you change your mind. It been said that “Falsehoods spread faster on Facebook than the truth does,” and as Mulder said, “The truth is out there!” What’s the cherry on top? Facebook used newspapers to get the word out and apologize to their clients. Newspapers are still tried and true. Cheers, Rob Ritchie

ROSS, RAMSAY DOUGLAS It is with deep sadness, which we share that Ramsay Douglas Ross of Moose Jaw, SK passed away peacefully on Monday, March 19th, 2018 at the age of 83 years, following a brief battle with illness. Ramsay lived a full and active life up until the last 6 months. Ramsay was born on February 14th, 1935 in Tuxford, SK. He grew up on the farm in the Tuxford area and attended Bloefield School. He worked at the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant where he became a Senior Operator and also farmed with his dad. Ramsay married the love of his life, Marjorie (Marj) Mitchell on March 18th, 1961 and their journey began. Family was very important to Ramsay, he was proud of his sons and cherished the time he spent with his grandsons. Ramsay was known for his genuine interest in others. He possessed a great sense of humour, was truly charismatic, and an ultimate host and a fabulous guest. Ramsay had many interests. He was a member of the Moose Jaw Rotary Club, Good Sam Travel Group, Nature Saskatchewan, Elk’s Club and a honourary member of the Legion. He took great pride in his home and had a passion for his yard – caring for his lawn and flowers. He loved attending Fiddle fests, Cowboy Poetry events, Birding, RVing, and discovering new places. He and Marj spent many years travelling and enjoying Mesa winters with friends. He was predeceased by his mother, Dorothy Foote and father, J.D. Ross. Ramsay is survived by his wife of 57 years, Marjorie (Mitchell), sons: Allan, Doug, and Terry; grandsons, Deagen and Brett and their mother Shawna; and his favorite cousins, Maureen McCartney and Linda Ross. We invite Ramsay’s friends to join us for a ‘Tribute to Ramsay’ on Saturday, April 7th, 2018 at 1:30 p.m. in the Harvey Room at Moose Jaw Funeral Home. A private family interment will be held at Sunset Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ramsay’s name may be made to Nature Saskatchewan, #206 - 1860 Lorne St, Regina, SK S4P 2L7 www.naturesask.ca/support. Our family would like to give a heart-felt thank you to Dr. Rininsland for the caring and compassion he showed during Ramsay’s care, and a special thank you to the hospital staff that took care of Ramsay during his time in Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Gary McDowell, Funeral Director 306-693-4550 www. moosejawfuneralhome.com

On Friday, March 23rd, 2018, at the age of 103 years, Iva passed away at Regency Manor in Central Butte, SK. Iva was born on February 20th, 1915, the first of four children born to homesteaders Sydney and Margaret Watkins. She was predeceased by her parents; husband, Harvey Willard (1971); daughter, Shirley Symenuk (2004); sister, Mary Meehan; and twins, Richard Watkins and Kathleen Olson. Iva was born on the Watkins homestead and attended school in Mawer, SK. Growing up on the farm, she helped her dad with the horses and cows and her mother with the chickens, garden and younger kids. She especially loved playing ball and going to the many sports days, Sunday School picnics and Christmas concerts. Iva curled throughout her lifetime until she threw her last rocks at age 80. She married Harvey Willard in 1935 and had 3 daughters: Shirley, Wendy, and Nona, and 1 son, George. She moved from Mawer to Butte in 1970 and Harvey passed away in 1971. Iva lived close to the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. She cared for her mother (Gramma Watkins) until her death in 1991, and helped care for her sonin-law Mike who was wheelchair bound. She babysat grandkids and great-grandkids. Her love and caring for family was endless and she had a kind word for all…even strangers. Meanwhile, she travelled extensively with friends and family to Great Britain, Europe, the Maritimes, the U.S. and all over Canada and Mexico. She continued her love of ball and became known by her grandkids as Gramma Blue Jay. Iva loved to read, garden, do crosswords and play scrabble. She enjoyed her friends, Tuesday Rummoli days, bingo nights, and playing cards at the Seniors Center. In 2008 Iva moved into Iver Main Place, and then in 2016 to Regency Manor. Iva will be lovingly remembered by her family: Wendy (Fred) Schweiger, George (Myrna) Willard, Nona (Bob) Toth, and son-in-law, Din (Florence) Symenuk; grandchildren: Ken, Doug, Sherri, Michele, Christy, Sandy, Brian, Sean, Shannon, Lori, Lindy, and Rob; great-grandchildren: Denver, Stacy, Jesse, Ashley, Kelsey, Johnathon, Amy, Baydin, Jordin, Morgan, Mason, Marley, Ainsley, Esme, Sullivan, Connor, Halle, and Mya; and great-great-grandchildren, Deacon, Logan, and Kensley; as well as her many nieces and nephews. In keeping with Iva’s wishes, there will be no funeral service, but a celebration of her life will be planned for a later date. The family would like to thank the staff at Iver Main Place and Regency Manor for the wonderful, loving care they gave to Iva over the last several years. As an expression of sympathy, donations in Iva’s name may be made to Central Butte Iver Main Place, Box 550, Central Butte, SK S0H 0T0. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. James Murdock, Funeral Director 306-693-4550 www.moosejawfuneralhome.com
