The Moose Jaw Adult Concert Band is tuning up for one of their highlights of the year.

The local brass and woodwind group is preparing for their annual Spring Concert, set for May 11 at the Mae Wilson Theatre. In addition to a selection of musical performances featuring their wide breadth of talents, the show will also include pieces performed by the Moose Jaw String Orchestra and Moose Jaw Community Choir.

“Our concert band has been going for about four or five years, every year we start our rehearsals in late January and hold our concert in May,” said Band spokesman Dave Richards. “It’s an adult group of musicians who have played for many years and this is a chance to get together and have some fun.”

There are currently about 25 members in the Concert band, and they have been meeting regularly since the beginning

of the year to prepare for the night of entertainment.

“It’s been going well,” Richards said. “It’s all about having a good time and having fun learning new music and working together to make a good sound... Music is a real positive thing for us as musicians and for people who like to listen to this kind of music, this is a real positive opportunity for us.”

The Adult Concert band is directed by long-time local teacher Daryl McKinnon, while fellow veteran conductor Janie Fries will head the String Orchestra. Diane Rhodes with direct the always popular Community Choir.

Showtime is 7:30 p.m. at the Mae Wilson, with tickets available for $10 from a performer, the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre Box Office or at the door.

“We’re hoping we get a lot of people out to listen to us and have a fun night of entertainment, too,” Richards said.

Moose Jaw EMS paramedic appointed to National Advisory Board Sasha-Gay Lobban Moose Jaw EMS’ Advance Care Paramedic Michael Slater is one of seven (7) persons in Canada, who has been appointed to a National Advisory Board to study the inherent psychological risk factors involved in the paramedics’ occupational field.

Slater, who has been a paramedic for 25 years, was appointed to the board recently where he will contribute to an authored study. “About a month ago, I was made aware of it through our deputy chief that Paramedics Canada were looking for people to serve on this board. With the support of my chief and deputy chief, I applied and was 1 of 7 people selected to serve on the advisory board,” Slater explained. “Basically, the Canadian Safety Association in conjunction with the Mental Health Commission of Canada as well as with the Paramedics Association of Canada are commissioning this survey to study the inherent psychological risk factors involved with the paramedics’ occupational field. This survey/paper is being commissioned and authored and we (the seven people) will play an advisory role to assist the doctors who are writing the paper Michael Slater in the paramedic occupational field.”

He says he is happy to be part of this board because the stress levels involved. “I’ve been in the paramedthis area of study is a very passionate one for him. He ic industry for 25 years and in this industry, we deal has studied aspects of mental health and explained that with high levels of stress and critical incidents stress. this profession is one that can cause intense mental There’s a lot of proactive approach towards dealing stress. As a result, Slater says it is imperative to pro- with stress levels and recognizing that the stress levels vide mental health support in the field and understand that paramedics are under in the performance of their

duties. In this field, we deal with extensive levels of stress on a daily basis,” he said. “A perfect example of that is the recent tragedy affecting Humboldt and what the responders had to deal with and see. So, what this paper will do is that it will study the inherent psychological risk factors in the paramedic profession itself and not just individuals. This will lead towards development of standards to ensure mental health and mental wellness in the profession.”

He says the paramedics will work on the National Advisory Board for about six months, which involves travelling to Toronto for meetings. He emphasized the importance of this study and actions they will stimulate as a result. “This study will be of great importance for our profession. When I just started, there was no emotional or mental health support and there was very little understanding of the effect that the stress of our job has on us in the field. We’ve come a long way in understanding the stress levels, professionals in our fields have and at EMS we have the full support of our management personnel, an established wellness team and ongoing support for all employees, not just on a reactive perspective but a proactive one. When we have new persons coming into the field, we help them develop coping mechanisms and resiliency and help them to understand that the stress incidents are inevitable. There used to be a lot of stigma surrounding mental health and going forward, we want to remove that.”

On Tuesday, April 10, Finance Minister Donna Harpauer presented the 2018-19 Provincial Budget in the Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly. The document details how our government’s three-year plan to return to a balanced budget is on track with major investments in health care, education, social services and infrastructure, and a steadily improving outlook over the next four years.

The difficult decisions in the previous budget were made to help get our province off our dependency on non-renewable resource revenues – and that plan is working. Non-renewable resource revenues make up only 10% of this year’s budget, as opposed to 32% in 2008-09.

A record $5.77 billion will improve health care for all Saskatchewan people this year. That includes $3.5 billion for Saskatchewan Health Authority operating funding, up nearly $72 million from total funding provided to the 12 former regional authori-

ties in last year’s budget.

More than $520,000 is being invested in a new program to ensure that babies born in Saskatchewan hospitals are screened for hearing loss. $2.8 million is being provided to fulfill the government’s commitment to provide individualized funding for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Initial funding of $4,000 per child under the age of six will be provided this year.

The Saskatchewan Party Government’s commitment to increase education funding by $30 million was delivered in this budget. Increased funding will help Saskatchewan school divisions continue supporting students by hiring up to 400 teachers and other educational support staff.

Saskatchewan’s 27 school divisions will receive $1.87 billion in school operating funding for the 2018-19 school year, up 1.6 per cent compared to last year.

This budget also provides nearly $77 million in child care funding. Together with federal funds, this will support more than 16,000 licensed child care spaces and allow for the addition of 2,500 licensed child care spaces by 2020.

More than $10 million in this year’s budget is targeted to those who provide direct daily care to adults with intellectual disabilities or mental health challenges, as well as for direct supports to families and daily care for children in need of protection.

This includes funding increases for foster families,

community-based organizations that deliver day programs and residential services to people with intellectual disabilities, and other CBOs that provide family-focused services.

The budget includes many other important investments in post-secondary education, in highways and infrastructure, in support for municipalities, in innovation and technology, in the agriculture and resource sectors and in trade and export development. Proudly, we are able to make these important investments with no increases to tax rates. All provincial tax rates, including provincial sales tax, income tax and property tax will remain the same.

Although there is an ongoing threat from the federal government, this budget contains no carbon tax.

A deficit of $365 million is projected for 2018-19.

A return to balance is expected in 2019-20 with a modest projected surplus of $6 million. Higher surpluses of $108 million and $212 million respectively are forecast for 2020-21 and 2021-22. Details can be found online at Saskatchewan.ca/budget.

Our three-year plan for a balanced budget is on track by controlling government spending with no tax rate increases, delivering high quality services for Saskatchewan people and through measures to keep our economy strong. This supports our vision of ensuring that Saskatchewan is the best place in Canada—to live, work, start a business, to get an education and raise a family.

My friend had just returned from a week in the United States travelling to North Dakota and Minnesota by car.

We were discussing his visit over coffee when he mentioned dropping into a Tractor Supply Store.

“They had a portable chicken coop,” he said. “You could move it around the

by Ron Walter back yard. I almost bought one for you as a practical joke. I thought $169 was too much for a practical joke,” he said.

“Really,” I said, joking that I now know what our priceless friendship isn’t worth.

“Can you imagine the reception from customs if you came along pulling a chicken coop behind the Yaris?” I asked He grinned and nodded.

My friend is the kind of person who would make sure the chicken coop was solid: in other words ‘put together and hitched to a trailer behind their car.’

I can imagine the resulting scene at North Portal.

A harried text from U.S. Customs to the Canadian side reads: “Heads up, Older couple in white Yaris pulling what looks like plastic-based chicken coop coming to your border.

Too conspicuous, too weird to not warrant inspection for possible smuggling, alien or terrorist activity.”

My friend and his wife arrive at Canada Customs. An officer comes out.

“Welcome back to Canada. Have you anything to declare?”

“No, just the chicken coop on the trailer. Here is the re-

ceipt?’ ”How long have you been in the United States?”

“Almost a week.”

“What was your purpose? Where did you go?”

“We got tired of sitting around the apartment looking at each other. We went to Fargo in North Dakota and Thief River Falls in Minnesota.”

“Why Thief River Falls?”

“It’s nice country. My wife likes the casinos.”

“Tell me more about the chicken coop.” “ I was in a Tractor Supply store and I saw this 10x12 foot chicken coop. I thought it would make a good practical joke for my friend in Moose Jaw.” “Why didn’t you leave it in the box to transport all the way to Moose Jaw?” “Well, I wanted to make sure all the pieces are there and in place. My friend is a little challenged working with anything more complicated than a ball point pen.”

“We want to inspect your plastic chicken coop,” the customs officer gestured and another officer with a sniffing police dog approached.

“What for? Do you think we’re some kind of terrorists?”

The first customs officer ignores the question, and asks; “Are you sure you haven’t got something else to declare?”

“I guess we both have a can of pop we are drinking. A root beer and a Pepsi.”

“OK and that’s all?”

“Yes, what is this? Do you really think us old people are a threat to your security?”

“We’re just doing our job, sir.”

My friend mutters under his breath: “Somebody should be shot for being so stupid.”

“I heard that, sir. Get out of the car now and come with me,” his voice turned stern.

At that point the alarm clock woke me up.

Summary;; These taxes may be legit and necessary but I for one would like and explanation I wonder if our Mayor still feels oh well it’s only $10.00 See what happens with small increases over time.

We need to find out where these funds are. What’s the total $ value of all funds collected from their start date (probably years and years ago)..How much have we spent and what did we buy and of course what’s the current balance.

We have all been paying over $100 every month and this year there is a huge budgeted expenditure covering the water line upgrade from Buffalo Pound . How come so much were is the money council has been collecting for years to cover upgrades like this???? Should be Millions

I have tried to put this together in a format that is easy to understand. Look at the information it is meaningful and actionable we need the truth from our council something which seems to be in short supply We need to challenge our Mayor and councillors if we want to have things change get on the phone talk to the mayor and councillors ask them WHERES THE BEEF (OUR

Are You Hoarding Too Many Thoughts in Your Head?

by Dr. Steven Heidinger, Moose Jaw Chiropractor

Let me give you an idea of what is typically going on in my brain all too often.

“What day is it today?…what sports do my kids have tonight?…when is that piano recital?…my car needs gas,…and thinking about my car, I need to renew my license,…almost out of the kids lunch items,…I need to call about the broken dishwasher,…oh geez, the taxes are due soon,…I need to tackle that mountain of paperwork at the office,…I need a haircut.

Does this sound all too familiar? Are there times when your mind is as full and as cluttered as your basement furnace room?

When there is so much clutter, it’s tough finding the things you need.

The same holds true when you’ve got too much going on in your head. Good luck retrieving information from your brain or focussing on one thing.

Most of us have some sort of “background noise” going on in our brain. It is the combination of a number of thoughts. There may be things on your “to-do”list, or the thought of an upcoming meeting or interview. Maybe there is also the thought of a

girl or guy you are smitten with, or worry you may not get all your Christmas shopping done, even though it is only October.

Maybe all of these things are going on in your brain at the same time. Add that annoying song that is playing over and over in your head and you’ve got a very cluttered brain. This cluttered brain may be the reason you have trouble focusing on one thing, why you lack concentration, and often get nothing done.

I’ve written about meditation in the past with respect to stress relief, but research supports meditation as a good practice for training your brain to focus as well. Those who meditate gain more control of their brain. Meditation helps to reduce and temper the background noise.

Studies looking at brain scans of those who meditate and those who do not, show that meditators do in fact have better focus. The area of the brain responsible for

spontaneous thoughts and mind-wandering had more stability in those who meditated.

A long term study looking at people who meditated regularly for 7 years showed that they had superior cognitive function as compared to a group who did not meditate. Improved focus, task performance and less age-related decline was attributed to regular mediation. Some research goes as far a saying mood disorders like depression may be lessened with learning meditation techniques.

Meditation is not as easy as you’d think.

Focused thought and clearing the background noise requires regular practice.

Mastery can take years of practice. The brain is yours and only yours to control.

Finding a way to temper the background noise will help you focus on the tasks you need to get done that are right in front of you.

Moose Jaw International Medical Mission receives Global Service Above Self Award for second straight year

Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

It takes a special brand of person to uproot their lives and travel to an impoverished Latin America country for a week just to do the job they do back home.

But when it’s the Moose Jaw Medical Mission to Guatemala, having a chance to do that job in a part of the world torn apart by civil war means almost as much to them as it does to their patients in the impoverished land.

And for that, the Rotary Club of Wakamow presented the Mission – comprised of Connie Paul, Lisa Tipper, Lindsay Stewart, Melissa MacNeil, Melissa Taylor, Jessica Archibald, Kandy and Brad Hennenfent and Jackie Wilson – with the Global Service Above Self Award for the second straight year on Apr. 9 at the Heritage Inn. The 2017 Mission saw the group travel to Patzun, Guatemala after a year-long effort to raise funds to purchase supplies and support themselves while in the foreign country.

“This year that we’ve been nominated for was an incredible team effort in that were able to give them the kind of care where they would know they were cared for and worthwhile,” said Wilson, who has been an organizer and driving force for each of the Missions, of which 2017 was the second. An even larger, third group took part in the 2018 excursion this spring.

“We wanted to give them the best care that we could; we were able to raise quite a bit of money to go down there and cover our expenses while in Guatemala, but everyone on the team covered their own expenses to go and took vacation time from their job in order to go. So I’m

Garbage Fiasco Some comments on this garbage pick-up fiasco issue.

How many times does this have to be hashed over in City Council until a decision can be reached and why the waste of our tax money for the “survey” as to curb side pick up or alley pickup?

Seems these surveys are useless, as City Council will decide in the end what they want to implement, regardless of majority wishes by tax paying citizens. Is the money spent on these surveys just put back as a form of another tax grab for the city?

There certainly must be more accountabil-

Missing are Melissa MacNeil and Brad Hennenfent. extremely thankful to have a chance to work with such a great and dedicated group of people.”

Rotary Wakamow member Jacques Lacasse set the scene for the level of work the group had ahead of them prior to leaving as part of his award introduction.

“It’s an area that was heavily devastated by civil war and where the population was severely impoverished, and finding jobs is extremely difficult in that area, there are no jobs,” he explained. “Primarly, what workforce there is are subsistence farmers, and they have limited access to medical care. What care they can get is largely beyond their means.”

ity as to how our ever-increasing utility & tax bills are levied. We do not have unlimited amounts of money as pensioners, or an one, to continually feed this insatiable demand for more money. City Councillors & Mayor need to remember that they, as elected members, work for us citizens, not the other way around, as seems to be the practice.

All columns, letters to the editor and editorials are solely the personal opinions of the writers themselves and not necessarily the opinions of The Moose Jaw Express.

The 2017 edition of the Mission worked out of Clinica Corpus Christi, a hospital and orphanage in Patzun. There, the team spent their five days conducting 35 surgeries, with most of the operations for things like gallbladders, hernias, hysterectomies, and various lumps and bumps.

“While this kind of medical care might seem fairly ordinary to us in Canada who are privileged, to the people of Patzun, these were life-changing events,” Lacasse said.

“They went from being in continuous pain to being pain free, and that’s an amazing thing to offer people.”

The fundraising efforts to make the trip saw the group working everything from steak dinners and concerts to creating websites, working social networking, finding sponsors and launching gofundme campaigns. On top of all that, as Wilson touched on, they paid for their trips to Guatemala themselves – all the money raised went to supplies and their living expenses in Patzun.

“A huge thank you to Rotary because you gave us a really generous donation for this year’s trip and hope we honoured you with the work we did down there,” she said.

“It’s amazing to be partners with different business who helped us out and thank you very much.”

Knowing it was all for the noblest of causes made such donations very easy, said Lacasse.

“It as a lot of work and organization all done by volunteers,” Lacasse said. “When I look at the Rotary Foundation and the Rotary Organization and what this award is about this is service above self in it’s purest form.”

Metal artist Mike Beaudoin specializes in custom-made creations

By Joan Ritchie

It’s not your typical showroom; nonethe-less, Tinker’s Welding, located at 633 – 13th Ave. NE, has a fine display of Mike Beaudoin’s creative metal artwork for sale. He has been with Tinker’s Welding for the past year and is happy to be there.

“The way the economy is these days, there was nothing much going on,” says Beaudoin, “so Tinker’s Welding has made this worthwhile.

“Everyone here is very creative and invents things; that’s our expertise.

It’s just the people at Tinker’s; they are so brilliant!”

With over 40 years of experience as a metal artist, Beaudoin can do it all, when it comes to creating exactly what the customer wants, made of steel & stainless or aluminum. Whether it’s a ranch sign, a scene, a pieces of metal artwork or whatever, he can do it to spec. Some of Beaudoin’s signs have even extended to 66’ long.

“Everything I do has a story behind it,” he says. “It is all specially created for the people.”

He hand-draws and cuts everything from bison to ranch scenes, dragons to hummingbirds, and everything in-between. The hand-crafted work is designed to withstand the elements and will last for decades.

How does he do it? He says he prefers to work outside and uses a hand-controlled plasma cutter, not computerized. Each cut is intrinsically set into

Mike Beaudoin with some of his metal art creations. the design exactly where he wants it, creating one-of-a-kind masterpieces.

Beaudoin not only creates for local customers, he had been commissioned to do pieces for communities throughout the province and country. You can see one of his masterpieces outside the high school in Estevan.

Recently, Beaudoin has discovered that farming metal discs are a great canvas to create beautiful artwork and each one is unique in it’s character and design.

Shop Supervisor at Tinker’s Welding,

Lance Mielke is one of the current owners of the business for the last two years and says he is proud of the work they do there. “We do specialty metal work here; we’re small and looking to grow but it has been a steady two years,” he says. “We have a wide range of skills here and we try and utilize our employees to their strong points.

Tinkers Welding “specializes in excellence” and can do: steel & stainless/ aluminum/fabrication/mobile welding/design build/industrial design services/CAD and probably anything else metal-related you require. You are welcome to drop by their location at 633-13th Ave. NE during office hours or call for more information at 306.692.0994/c306.537.8492.

RCMP seeks to engage more with community Sasha-Gay Lobban

The RCMP recently held a Town Hall meeting in Moose Jaw to emphasize their goal of deepening engagement with the local community.

Speaking at the Legion on Monday, April 9, Sergeant Tim Schwartz, Detachment Commander at the RCMP, says the town hall meeting is one of the steps the RCMP is taking in widening engagement with the community.

Highlighting rural crime statistics, Sgt. Schwartz says it has become even more crucial for community engagement, as this will help in preventing and solving crimes.

“Rural crime has been a concern provincial-wide here in Saskatchewan and what we want to do is to engage our communities. Part of my task as detachment commander is that I engage our RM Councils, Town Councils, Mayors and councillors throughout the year to establish priorities and initiatives,” Sgt. Schwartz said.

“Sometimes we’re not able to reach out directly to community members so by having a meeting like this, we’re able to hear their concerns. We want to engage the community and allow them to understand the expectations of the police and their expectations especially as land and home owners. We engage them in what they can do to protect their communities and if they are victims of crime, they can know that they can phone us and expect that we are there to resolve their issues by working together.”

“Policing is only one aspect of community safety. We all need to work together on both the prevention side and the enforcement side.”

-RCMP Detachment commander, Sergeant Tim Schwartz He noted that in order to stem rural crimes, the police and the community must work together. “The other idea is also to rally the communities to work as a team so that if there is suspicious activity, they can maybe try to flush out the problem or

RCMP Detachment commander, Sergeant Tim Schwartz addresses community members at the Town Hall meeting. they can be the ears and eyes for the police so that we can engage or be pointed in the right direction and follow up with the victims.” He added that even though this is the first meeting, the RCMP will engage more during the year as well as with other communities. “This meeting is the first for the year but we will be having a follow up meeting in the fall. We will also be reaching out to other communities, not only Moose Jaw, to engage more, as well.

This will allow us to engage with even more people and expand our meetings with these open sessions where people can come in and talk about some of their concerns and how we can better work together.”

“From an RCMP perspective, there is an expectation that our detachments be engaged in and with the community. That means consulting with residents and community leaders (as we are doing today at this Town Hall) to establish policing priorities and assisting with public safety issues. We are committed to having regular communication with community leaders, provide reports and updates, be involved in community activities and events when possible, and through these and numerous other means, develop positive trusting relationships with the community,” he continued. “We need engaged, involved citizens contributing to community safety just as we need engaged involved police

officers. Rural Crime Watch is a great example of engagement from the community and what’s possible when people come together with a common goal of reporting suspicious activity and reducing crime in their area. Policing is only one aspect of community safety. We all need to work together on both the prevention side and the enforcement side.” He outlined that persons can become more involved by:

He also outlined ways in which community members can protect their properties.

“We cannot emphasize enough that people need to do everything within reason to secure their property and protect themselves.

Some of the ways persons can protect their properties are to: safeguard valuables, outbuildings, fuel tanks; remove keys from vehicles; photograph valuables and record serial numbers; have video cameras / trail cameras at non-occupied farmyards; post signs that say you’re on camera – prevention; stay observant; watch out for your property and your neighbors’; report crime and other suspicious activity to the police; do not attempt to subdue or pursue suspects.

Legendary Sons of the Pioneers Concert in Moose Jaw on June 24th The legendary Sons of the Pioneers will be appearing in concert June 24, 2018 at the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre’s historic Mae Wilson Theatre at 7:30 PM. 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. Their original songs like “Tumbling Tumbleweeds�, “Cool Water� and “Ghost Riders in the Sky� are classics forever entwined into the lore and mystique of the North American West. Both “Tumbleweeds� and “Cool Water� have been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

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 ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s. 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 they 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�. They were the first cowboy mu-

Dusty Rogers

sical group to perform at Carnegie Hall and the first to headline in Las Vegas casinos.

Throughout their uninterrupted 80-year existence, the group has accumulated more coveted honors and awards than anyone in Western music. 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 them as “National Treasures�.

The Pioneers are known around the world for their unique three and four-part harmonies. According to their “trail boss�, Tommy Nallie who joined the group in the 1980’s, “We are honored to be returning to Canada in 2018 and visiting different cities. We had Western Canadian tours in 2015, 2016, and 2017.

We were Parade Marshalls for the Calgary Stampede in the 1990’s.� Nallie said “Every concert is pure Cowboy music packed with our timeless hits, solid western swing and a good measure of comedy and banter. Each of the five members share the vocals and instrumentals.�

Part of the hallmark sound comes from acoustic fiddles, upright bass, and lead and rhythm guitars.

When not performing their regular theater concert season in September/October in Branson, Missouri, the Pioneers have recently been invited to perform on RFD-TV, PBS program, on Nashville’s Grand Ol’ Opry and at various theaters and festivals across the country.

Local promoter of the group, Margaret Morrissette of Fort Qu’Appelle, said, “The Pioneers are revered legends in the field of Western music. Everyone I talk to is so very excited they are coming to Western Canada for a June, 2018 tour. We’re going to have lots of fun.

There is limited seating, so we encourage everyone to get their tickets early!�

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS

Is there value in homework, or home work?

The parental mantra in my home was: homework first, fun later.

Of course, that was 50 years ago and certainly times have changed, customs have evolved, and systems are light years ahead of what was normal back then — or so we’re told. But opinions are still changing on the value of homework and whether educators put too much emphasis on Joyce Walter assignments outside the classFor Moose Jaw Express room that students are required to complete.

Homework is back in the news this month after an educational institution in Montreal banned homework for all its students, joining educators in some other parts of Canada with the same rule.

In other words, work at home in those jurisdictions is now confined to tasks assigned by the parents — laundry, dishes, dusting, garbage detail and related tasks. Those things are definitely home work as opposed to homework.

The opinion that supported the ban on homework is that there is little or no academic value in assignments done at home. Instead of academic value there is stress associated with students having to dig out their books after school

hours when they might also be working at a fast food outlet or heading to the ball park or gym for sports events or the studio for music or dance lessons.

So much to do, so little time — with records showing that some students were spending at least six hours a week on homework by the age of 15.

On the other hand, proponents of homework say such assignments promote self-discipline and are essential in developing work and study habits.

If my memory is up to the task, homework was not an issue in my lower grade levels unless there was a special project that required some specific assistance from the parents. Grades 1-3 breezed by with all our work completed at school. New teachers in Grades 4-6 had other ideas and occasionally we had assignments to finish at home: an essay on a world topic, a family tree that sometimes befuddled even the parents, a book report that required a book to be read after-hours.

One of the reasons in those days for homework was lack of resources in the classroom — only one set of encyclopedias to be shared among six grades in our single-room classroom.

“What’s an encyclopedia?” some might ask.

That was the early days version of Google and Wikipedia. Encyclopedias came in at least 12, sometimes 24 volumes, sold door-to-door by salesmen, similar to vacuum cleaners and Fuller Brush products. They were expensive sets of books, sold on the instalment plan, with a yearly

update sold separately, to keep us in touch with changes in world matters.

A family with a set of these books was considered advantaged. They were the lifeline to being informed or left in educational darkness. We had a set in our home and frequently we got requests from other families to share information contained therein. In other words, study sessions took place in our home because the parents had a rule about not loaning the books.

Then came Grades 7-12, in a larger school with more students and less one-on-one time with the teachers, resulting in nightly and weekend homework. That raised the question at home and at teacher-parent interviews of why teachers were deflecting their duties to parents when the big bucks were being paid to the classroom instructors.

Back in those days, we didn’t know we were being “stressed” by the volume of homework we had to complete. I was “stressed” when my parents, waiting until I graduated, dispersed my set of encyclopedias to family members without any consultation with me.

To make matters worse, “my” books were taken to the trash by those family members who said the information was outdated and irrelevant.

So, homework or no homework — that is the educational question of the day. Maybe Google will have the definitive answer.

Things to consider when growing new crops

By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express

Lower prices of EXPRESS common crops and attractive returns of less grown and lesser known crops can attract producer interest.

An Alberta Agriculture bulletin suggests some matters farmers should explore before sowing acres into new crops like flax, camelina, pulses and hemp.

The first step involves figuring out the costs of production and whether costs and expected yield will return a profit.

The bulletin says it is extremely important to grow crops that are profitable and acceptable to bankers as well as the farmer seeding.

What happens to profits if yields or prices are lower than planned?

Suggestion for farmers with crops new to them is to start small: learn how to grow that crop, what bugs may cut into yields.

Perhaps more important, find out if there is a market for this crop. Get a contract to market some or all of the crop before you seed.

About 15 years ago some Prairie farmers tried spice crops like borage and caraway seed whose global acres run in the 20,000.

One Assiniboia farmer grew a three-year supply of one spice crop in one harvest.

Certain crops like hemp or organics require grower certification by police or organic agencies, regular inspections and piles of paperwork.

Some pulse crops need less fertilizer and produce more nitrogen for the next year’s acres, but market prices may be impacted by import tariffs as with peas to India.

Beginners instructor Elaine Crysler talks about Fung Loy Kok Taoist Tai Chi during an open house for the Moose Jaw branch.

Public, potential new members have chance to check out ‘moving meditation’ martial art Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Whenever one thinks of tai chi, the first thing that generally comes to mind is a venerable monk performing the slow, deliberate movements of the martial art in an idyllic park or on a mountain top.

What folks might not realize is tai chi – particularly the Fung Loy Kok Taoist version – can be found in their own community. Moose Jaw is no exception, with 15 dedicated members of the FLK Taiost Tai Chi group meeting in the social hall of St. Andrew’s United Church twice a week to develop and practice what has been called ‘moving meditiation’.

The club held an open house for anyone interested in seeing things firsthand, with a half-dozen interested onlookers learning what FLK Taoist Tai Chi is all about.

“What we want to do is have people understand that tai chi is for everyone,” said Moose Jaw beginners instructor Elaine Crysler.

“It’s a gentle form of a martial art and it helps stretch your tendons, it helps with your connective tissues; it helps your spine, your hips. It’s just all about your all-around well-being.

“And you do it at your own speed. It’s not like you’re competing against anyone else. And people just find that it’s very healthy and a wonderful stress reliever.”

The base of tai chi is what is known as the 108 movements, which are designed to stress different parts of the body in positive and gentle ways, explained Crysler. It’s the art’s famous style that makes it nearly ideal for someone looking to recover from injuries or joint and muscle damage.

“More and more people are saying tai chi is the one to heal,” Crysler said. “And it is healing, people who have had knee operations and hip operations, this is one of the exercises they can do that will help bring them back to where they were.”

months will often see them stake out an area in front of the Moose Jaw Public Library and take advantage of the beauty of Crescent Park to enhance their exercise.

“It’s beautiful over there and to do it with the group, you get the harmony of the whole group and it’s hard to explain how amazing it is, especially in that setting,” Crysler said. “To do it by yourself, there’s nothing wrong with that, but you don’t get the harmony of moving with a group.... it just makes you feel really good.”

The club holds four sets of classes per week, two for each class of practitioner. The Beginning class will kick off a new season on Apr. 11 and will go from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesdays and 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays. The more advanced Continuing class meets on Wednesdays from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. and from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturdays.

“There’s various stages of people joining,” Crysler explained.

“There’s no test, there’s no grades, nothing like that. We have a beginner class and they’re there for about four months and that’s where they learn the 108 moves. From there, they move on to what we call continuing where it’s just that, continuing in tai chi.”

And then there’s the massive world-wide community of tai chi, with about 40,000 members worldwide. Given the universal nature of the sport, one could practice it almost anywhere and fit right in.

“So if you’re travelling and you see a tai chi club, you’re more than welcome to pop in,” Crysler said. I’ve attended lots of workshops with hundreds of people and it is really cool that it’s all the same.”

PARTY program promotes responsible decisions and injury prevention Sasha-Gay Lobban

It was a somber mood at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Hospital on Tuesday, April 10 as emergency groups held clinical reality presentations to students from both Vanier and Central Collegiates as part of the Prevent, Alcohol, Risk related, Trauma with Youth (PARTY) program.

The PARTY program is to promote injury prevention through vivid clinical reality, enabling youth to recognize risk, make informed choices and identify potential consequences about activities and behaviours.

Before kicking off an intense day of presentations and some real-life, tragedy-stricken stories, Moose Jaw’s emergency groups and other partners paid respects to everyone impacted by the recent tragedy involving the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey players.

Angela Sereda, Deputy Chief of EMS and an event coordinator for PARTY says, in light of the horrific accident that affected persons across Canada, the presentations really connected with the students. “The more that we can relate to students and talk about situations versus just doing a presentation, it will make more of an impact. A lot of people that came as facilitators here today have a lot of experiences and history with certain things. So, it was important for them to share their stories on a personal level because the students connect better that way. Especially in the wake of the tragedy involving the Broncos players, it makes it even more real for students. We started out with a prayer in honor of that tragedy to show respects in that regard. It was very emotional because everyone can relate with the families of those lost and others in critical care.�

The students were taken to an accident scene (clinical) where they gained firsthand knowledge of how emergency groups respond to accidents, while reinforcing the importance of making good decisions. “We used to do this twice a year, but we now host it annually where we bring two schools together at the same time to make these presentations. It is an important message regarding good decision making and the consequences that can come from making the wrong decisions either we’re by ourselves or with our friends. It is important for the students to learn from all the experience we bring to the table and how we deal with situations so when they leave here, they can make informed decisions when they are out there with their

Additional funding and donations to ensure the success of this event is provided by Moose Jaw Associated Commercial Travellers (ACT) and Family Pizza Restaurant in Moose Jaw.

Students look on as emergency services respond to an accident (a clinical set up). friends or by themselves,� said Deputy Chief Sereda. “The core message from this event is the importance of making good decisions. Good decisions don’t just come from not being distracted driving or being under the influence while driving, but this encompasses good decisions before they get behind the wheel or get into a vehicle with friends,� she added.

This message touched home for one student, Chloe Merifield of Central, who said that she will be even more conscientious going forward about making the right decisions. “I found the presentations very interesting and educational in light of what happened recently. It kind of brought light to what goes on behind the scenes and the long-term impact this can have on families and loved ones. As a result of these real-life presentations here that I saw, I’ll be really mindful of decisions I make, as well as help my friends to also make the right decisions. This is something I am going to share with my family so that we can all make the best decisions when we enter or before we enter a vehicle. Because 90 per cent of injury is preventable, it is best to make the right decisions.�

The students also heard presentations from Nolan Barnes from Saskatoon. He shared his survival story from a horrific accident that took the life of one of his close friends. Barnes is now a paraplegic but remains very optimistic. He has travelled across the world competing in games and representing Canada, after being subjected to a wheelchair following his accident.

He, however, urged students to learn from his story and be very vigilant in making the right decisions. A team from Dr. D.H. Wigmore Hospital also made presentations about how they respond to victims following an accident.

No magic wand needed to replace lost commercial tax revenues Something is wrong with the property taxation in Moose Jaw, specifically with commercial tax values.

City council acknowledged something is wrong in this area, when a decision was made to do an internal review on why Moose Jaw has so many more successful commercial appeals against property assessment than other Saskatchewan cities.

The results of the internal review, if made public, should be interesting.

January 13 - 27, 2019 (15days) The city faces a loss of tax revenues from successful apTo book, visit your professional travel agent: peals by commercial property owners. That loss has happened during every four-year reassessment cycle since 80 CARIBOU ST. W. MOOSE JAW • PHONE: 306.693.5117 the 1990s.

To make up for the lost revenue the city has added the annual amount lost to the remaining commercial tax base.

Appeals in 2017 from a new reassessment cycle amounted to a loss of 2.28 per cent of commercial taxes.

The application of lost tax revenue to all commercial properties has long term impacts. This practice helps to widen the gap between taxes paid by commercial and residential taxpayers of equal assessments.

The gap already exists because commercial property is assessed tax on 100 per cent of value while residential property is assessed at 80 per cent of value.

As a result of this different assessment and seven assessment cycle tax additions, Moose Jaw commercial properties pay 2.19 times the taxes paid by an equal value residential assessment.

Provincially among 15 cities, the average commercial tax rate is 1.97 times the residential tax. Moose Jaw is clearly out of line, placing business at a competitive disadvantage.

City administration determined a tax increase spread over residential properties could recover the lost commercial tax revenues this year. But the residential tax increase would then become 7.5 per cent. Commercial would get a four per cent tax increase.

By doing this the commercial sector would still pay 2.15 times tax on residential property.

Another solution is to find more commercial assessment to tax – not something to happen overnight.

The city doesn’t need a magic wand to create new commercial assessment. Property taxes are levied to pay for services to the municipality’s residents.

Moose Jaw provides housing, fire, police, recreation and education services to employees of numerous area industries without receiving any commercial revenue to pay for those services, this situation puts an unfair burden on local taxpayers.

Our untaxed commercial assessment is located in the RMs of Pense and Moose Jaw. Over $1 billion of assessment — one potash mine, two fertilizer plants, an ethanol plant, a salt plant and a grain processor — lies in the Pense RM. Although Moose Jaw provides services for about 40 per cent of these industries’ employees, the city doesn’t get a nickel in property taxes.

DOWN ON THE

CORNER Suspicious Minds He was in the checkout line at Wally’s store when he said to the cashier with a slight southern drawl, “Thank you…thank you very much” I knew immediately that: a) he was not from around here and b) he sounded and looked vaguely familiar.

He seemed to be in his eighties and slightly overweight, but he had a full head of snow white hair with a neatly trimmed goatee. He pushed his grocery cart with a slow shuffle, not uncommon for an elderly man, but after I had thanked the cashier and thanked her very much, I had made my way to the parking lot

by Dale “BUSHY” where the old fellow was loading his grocery bags into Bush a motorhome. Folks loading groceries into a motorhome is not unusual around here, but as I walked passed, I couldn’t help but stare at him and then at his personalized Tennessee license plate which read “SIVLE”.

A little curious, I looked in my rear-view mirror as I drove past. Then I read his reverse license plate and it struck me like a slapshot to the head…”ELVIS”. It couldn’t be…or could it!

Elvis has been dead for over 40 years or so “they” say, but there are still folks who believe his death was faked and as with any good conspiracy theory there are facts and notions. “Suspicious Minds” have been riding the “Mystery Train” for decades, with theories that support a fake death; his gravestone is probably one of Elvis’ fake death greatest hits. His name is misspelled on his official tombstone with his middle name Aron being spelled Aaron. For some people “That’s All Right”, but for me, a star of his magnitude’s memorial should be accurate. It leaves me with a “Wooden Heart”.

Another fake death theory is supported by some questions about Elvis’ funeral and his

casket. Apparently, his coffin weighed a reported 900 pounds and gave the pall bearers “Too Much Monkey Business” when they were performing their duties; that is about 300 pounds heavier than normal. It had also been reported, during the open casket viewing, the body seemed to be sweating as if it was actually made of wax.

A battery powered air conditioning would have weighed about 300 pounds…coincidence or does it raise “Suspicion”? Elvis’ manager, Colonel Tom Parker turned heads at the funeral by wearing a loud Hawaiian shirt and a ball cap, which hardly shows respect for the dead. Add this to the facts, Elvis wasn’t buried next to his mother (as he had stated many times) just gives us “Suspicious Minds”.

There is one theory for Elvis faking his death that has me wondering. That is: Elvis was taking his honorary FBI agent status a little too seriously and actually gave the Feds some information related to drug dealing mobsters. That made him a target so he was placed in the Federal Witness Protection Program necessitating his “death” to protect him and his family, who ended up “Crying In The Chapel” after the faked expiry. This series of events may have made it a case of “It’s Now Or Never” and if a mobster had put a hit on the King, his death, real or faked, would satisfy that dirty “Hound Dog”.

After looking in my mirror and seeing his license plate with ELVIS (reversed SIVLE). I circled the parking lot and pulled into an empty spot a few cars away and rolled down my window and yelled, “Hey Elvis” to see if there was a reaction from the elderly man. I swear his head shot up and he quickly spotted me and yelled back at me, “Don’t Be Cruel”. This was one grocery trip that has me “All Shook Up”.

Budget heading towards surplus with no new taxes, major service reductions

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Finance Minister Donna Harpauer’s first Saskatchewan budget kept the province on track to eliminate the deficit by 2020 with no new taxes.

Nor are there any draconian program cuts.

A deficit of $365 million is estimated for the year ended March 31, 2019 with a modest $6 million surplus the following year.

Revenues will increase by $80 million this year mostly from non-renewable resources, Crown corporation profits and government fees to $14.24 billion.

Expenses of $14.61 billion will decline by $200 million with $35 million this year from a two-year “efficiency and attrition” program in the civil service.

Savings of $5 million come from ending the rental assistance program in July.

Municipal revenue sharing drops $10.7 million for urban municipalities and $4.9 million for rural municipalities. Moose Jaw, with $5.97 million, will have $410,000 less funding.

There is no carbon tax in the budget even though the federal government plans to impose a carbon tax if the province does not implement one.

Broadening the PST to used light vehicles is one of the few tax changes but exemptions exist for vehicles priced under $5,000 and for inter-family transfers. The expanded tax will raise $95 million.

The PST exemption for Energy Star appliances is terminated No provision was made for PST on cannabis due to the uncertain revenue.

Job creation plans include a 15 per cent tax credit for value added agriculture investment of $10 million, a 45 per cent tax credit for eligible technology startups and a $700,000 two year program to gather data on gold, base metal and diamond resources.

Seventy per cent of the budget is once again devoted to health, education, and social services.

Health care spending is up 2.5 per cent to $5.77 billion. New funding includes $11.4 million for mental health services, $16.8 million for operating capacity at the Jim Pattison children’s hospital in Saskatoon, and $14.2 million for the new Saskatchewan Hospital at North Battleford.

And $700,000 will increase coverage to 100 per cent for HIV drugs.

Education spending of $3.26 billion declines, mostly by $268 million in reduced teachers’ pension liability.

School divisions will receive an extra $30 million this year. An added $20.8 million will fund 2,500 more daycare spaces by 2020 under a federal-provincial program.

Social services will receive $1.39 billion, an increase of 1.8 per cent. The budget directs $10.4 million to caregivers of disabled persons and $9 million to disabled adults with increased needs.

Rural crime reduction got an another $4.9 million.

A $2.7 billion infrastructure program involves some local highways such as passing lanes on 100 km of Highway Six and Highway 39 and 800 km of province-wide road upgrades.

The public debt will increase by $1.8 billion to over $20 billion. About half the increase comes from the Saskatchewan Builds Capital Plan and the rest from Crown Corporation debt.

“The pursuit and ultimate realization of the fiscal plan ensures the long-term sustainability of the services and programs Saskatchewan people value,” said Harpauer.

“A plan to balance ensures a stronger Saskatchewan in the future, better positioned for growth and better able to meet the challenges ahead.”

One big health authority receives $72 million more than 12 smaller regions

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

The chief executive officer of the new Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) said he is “pleased” with the provincial budget for the new province-wide region.

The four-month-old SHA consolidates 12 previous health regions into one authority.

Scott Livingstone told a post-budget teleconference the allocation of $3.5 billion to the new authority recognizes the challenges faced by integration of the 12 health regions into one organization.

Increases in funding over the amount previously received by the 12 health regions will put another $71.9 million into the authority.

That does not include an extra $99.2 million provided for capital projects. The extra capital projects funding includes funding for the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon.

What’s left after the Children’s Hospital, about $72 million, will be spread among priority projects in the province.

The authority has already saved $19 million by consolidation, said the CEO. Savings include $9 million in information technology and about $9 million annually in reduced administration, board and executive costs.

Livingstone said plenty of opportunity exists to save more money in the system with volume buying power.

In another example, the payrolls and administration of the 12 former regions are currently done by 82 different information technology systems. Consolidation will save money.

And the provincial region has opportunity to adapt innovative processes from various regions across the province. He mentioned some procedures developed in Swift Current and elsewhere can be adopted to provide improved services for patients, staff and physicians.

The record $5.6 billion health care budget allocated almost $940 million for physician services, an increase of $40 million.

The drug plan will cost $386 million, an increase of $2 million.

Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce Comments on Budget Curtis Hemming, Director of Government Relations with the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce was pleasantly surprised when the 2018-19 Provincial Budget was presented at the Legislature on Tuesday, April 10th. He said it was “surprisingly good news” for the people and businesses within the province.

There wasn’t an increase in the PST, which was strongly expected, nor were there increases in personal income tax rates or corporate tax rates.

Hemming said the lack of tax increases was surprising. “We’re not going to complain too much about that,” he said.

Hemming surmised that some of the provincial government’s projections on future economic growth and commodity prices might be a little bit too optimistic, but time will tell if the predictions are accurate.

“One item that I think has a lot of potential is a new tax credit for equity investments made into technology companies in Saskatchewan,” said Hemming. “This is something that the Saskatchewan Chamber and many other people have been wanting for years (usually under the name of an Angel Investor Tax Credit), so this has the potential to be quite important for the province. Other jurisdictions have had similar tax credits for years, so it will be nice to have this tool with which to lure technology companies to Saskatchewan and/or encourage the creation of new technology companies here.”

Hemmings overall though, “a surprisingly good Budget!”

• Forecasted spending: $14.61 billion • Forecasted deficit: $365 million Taxation: • Personal income tax remains the same • PST exemption for used vehicles removed effective April 11 • PST exemption for Energy Star appliances discontinued • Saskatchewan will follow marijuana taxation guidelines as outlined by the federal government (excise tax of $1-pergram with 75 per cent of revenue for provinces) Education: • Education investments at $3.26 billion (down 7.6 per cent) • K-12 education receives $1.87 billion in school operating funding • Funding to hire up to 400 new positions (adding teachers or educational support) • $2.5 billion investment in Pre-K-12 classrooms, child care, libraries, literacy • Infrastructure investments of $76.8 million (school projects, maintenance and renewal, portable classrooms and facility assessments) • Post-secondary education funding at $729 million (up 1.5 per cent) • Maintaining operating grants from 2017 levels • Restoring $5 million to the University of Saskatchewan • Funding $87.8 million to the College of Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan • Operating and capital grants of $470 million to University of Saskatchewan, University of Regina, and federated and affiliated colleges • Operating and capital grants of $151 million to Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Tech-

Trade show sees over 90 exhibitors and thousands of patrons over weekend Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Another year, another impressive success for the Moose Jaw Business Expo.

The 2018 version of the annual trade show took place at the Moose Jaw Exhibition Centre this past weekend and featured over 90 vendors with displays offering information and in many cases the very products they offer, and in as wide a range as one could imagine.

“That’s one of the things that was interesting this year, there were a lot of different products and all sorts of new vendors with new things to offer,” said Chamber of Commerce CEO Rob Clark. “There was definitely a lot for people to see.”

Clark estimated that the number of patrons through the three days outstripped last year’s numbers, meaning that once again thousands of folks flowed through the Exhibition Centre’s doors for the event.

That means the three charities the Expo supports – the Chamber of Commerce, Moose Jaw Kinsmen and Moose Jaw Exhibition Company -- will be seeing a nice influx of funds in the near future.

“Supporting those charities is a really big part of this,” said Clark. “The three groups all worked together so well through the weekend and it was great to see that kind of support.”

One of the highlights of the show was the Saskatchewan Rush monster truck that was on hand to offer rides to fans throughout the weekend. They reached their expected number of riders on Saturday afternoon.

“So they were pretty happy with it,” Clark said. “We had a lot of kids and parents who thought that was pretty cool, so we’ll be looking at having them back next year.”

The show’s format has become pretty much set over the years, and next year’s event will likely remain largely the same – barring major changes.

“It’s like the old saying goes, we’ll do the same thing as last year only completely different,” Clark said. “So you never know what might happen, but we’re really happy with how things went this year, for sure.”

Moose Jaw Express Business Expo Draw Winner The winner of the Moose Jaw Express Booth Draw at this year’s Chamber of Commerce Business Expo was Mary Ellen Willis.

Atamiskākēwak National Gathering 2018 -Reconciliation as key focus Sasha-Gay Lobban

The week of Monday, April 23 to Saturday, April 28 will be a historical one in Moose Jaw, as the very first Atamiskākēwak National Gathering is set to take place in the Friendly City.

The first event of its kind in Canada, will see the week filled with activities where persons from across the globe will come together, “shaking hands in greeting with each other.” This is an important event for Canada as it continues education on Truth and Reconciliation.

The activities will be focused on reconciliation as individuals—indigenous and non-indigenous come together, learning and teaching.

Reconciliation is an important step that many Canadians have opted to be part of—recognizing history, making changes for the present and securing a future of healing and betterment among all individuals. Reconciliation will be a major focus for Atamiskākēwak National Gathering.

The event will see persons travelling to Moose Jaw from across the world to take part in this historical mass gathering for Canada—the first of its type. Chris McKee, chief organizer of the event says reconciliation touches everyone and this event is a step in the right direction.

“The topic of reconciliation is definitely something that touches everyone, and we need to ensure that we are recognizing our history in Canada; understanding where we’ve come from and ensure that we don’t make the same mistakes again. Colonization has happened around every country in the world but the only difference is that, Canada is under the same monarch that originally initiated the colonization here,” McKee noted.

“We need to walk in a journey alongside one another to ensure that the future for our children and grandchildren is the absolute best it can be. That’s what this whole event is about and we’re offering it for free. Persons from every territory in North America and across the globe will come to our city to be part of this journey,” McKee added.

The Stigma Around Death & Dying

By Stephanie Lowe

Meet Stephanie Lowe - Jones Funeral Home The Moose Jaw Express is pleased to feature another member of the Business Women of Moose Jaw, Stephanie Lowe and her business Jones Funeral Home The Mission of the Business Women of Moose Jaw is to be a positive and supportive network, a group where members agree to actively participate and contribute for the betterment of all. Regular gatherings, events and monthly meetings help to achieve just that. The focus is to assist each other to become more successful in business, all the while continuing to give back to the community. If you would like to know more about the Business Women of Moose Jaw, attend a meeting or to become involved, please visit website businesswomenmoosejaw. com .

When people ask what it is I do for a living, the reaction to hearing I am a Funeral Director is usually of two different camps. The first being a lack of understanding as to why anyone would ever want to do what I do, and the other is curiosity of the unknown.

When I first told my family, I wanted to be a Funeral Director they were confused and concerned. I really couldn’t blame them; our past funeral culture has really had a smoke and mirrors kind of effect on how the average person views death and the Funeral Industry. Over the years, Funeral Homes have been encouraged to really shelter families from all that happens between the time of death and the actual funeral.

I have learned that some of us were really stuck in a position of looking through a cultural lens, afraid of the realities of death and dying. I also began to understand that my peers were not as planted in the same negative thought

spirals as some of the generations before us. Friends and acquaintances alike would begin to search me out with questions about my experiences.

The Funeral Industry is and has been going through a bit of a renaissance period, with fewer and fewer people looking at traditional burial and church ceremonies. We have been seeing an increase in cremation, and more creative personalized services. We have had this amazing opportunity to help people have a more balanced relationship with death after a century of disconnect.

Families have endless options like turning cremated remains into diamonds, or shooting them into space, they can have DNA samples collected and stored for future generations, fingerprints can be taken and set into jewellery. There are even hints of emerging interest in green burial, alkaline hydrolysis (water cremation), and even things as obscure and controversial as Mushroom Suits and Recomposition.

No matter what choices the family decides to make, all that really matters is they’ve had the opportunity to honor a loved one’s memory in a way that is meaningful to them and their loved one. We are learning to be educators and not just Funeral Directors.

It is really exciting to have the oppor-

tunity to help people have a better relationship with death. We are teaching them how to have those conversations about their wishes before its to late; how to be more involved in the planning and processes, when they experience the loss of someone close to them; how to pursue support systems in their times of grief; and how to be better informed and make sure the choices made for them in their passing reflects the way in which they have lived their lives.

Funeral Directors can’t take away the loss our clients are going through, but we can be a guiding hand. With every family we serve, I hope that the time they spend with me and others in my line of work can make the hardest times in their lives just a little bit easier. So… Why would I want to be a Funeral Director?

I am passionate about this field where we are teaching people to ask questions, and to have a more honest and healthy relationship with their own mortality.

I am passionate about bringing meaningful ceremony into the services we provide for our families.

I am passionate about being part of a generation of people working towards removing the stigma around death and dying.

In respect to tragedy we all have suffered in the province with the loss of a large number of the Humboldt Broncos, a tribute has been set up in the lobby of the Grant Hall Hotel in Moose Jaw.

Local Chapter A of the PEO Sisterhood held a very successful Roast Beef Supper fundraiser in Oct. with close to 300 supporters. This enables the Chapter to provide Scholarships and Bursaries to young women in our community to obtain and further their post-secondary education. In 2017, eight successful local candidates each received $1,000.00 toward their first year of University.

Cosmo Craft Show features wide variety of artists Randy Palmer photos

More than two dozen artists, builders and bakers in a wide variety of mediums took part in the Cosmo Senior Centre’s annual craft show on Saturday afternoon. More than 200 people came through the doors to check out the plethora of wares and maybe even make a purchase or two. Here’s a sampling of some of what was on hand at the event.

Louise and Lyle Bradford with their display for Grandpa B’s Repurposed Wood Signs.

From quilts to crocheting, to knitting and everything imaginable in that genre, it could be found at the Cosmo Seniors Centre craft show.

Scott Jenkinson’s unique hobby-turned-business involves restored old saw blades into works of art for his “I Saw That” display.

Elizabeth Brennan had a display for Echoes of Light, which features custom-made intricate journals – Game of Thrones being a major feature – and unique figurines, among other artwork.

Donna Bruce was on hand with sample of her delicious baking while Roberta Johnston showed off her wares from A Touch of Elegance Lace and Linens.

Norine Clinkard with her table of quilling – or paper filigree – artwork, which involves strips of paper that are rolled, shaped and glued together to create decorative designs.

HIGHWAY #1 EAST, JUST OUTSIDE OF MOOSE JAW

WWW.YOUNGS.CA

Three days of utter dogfight basketball culminated in close and hard-fought championship game during the Canadian Armed Forces national championships at 15 Wing last week.

In the end, Team Ontario’s CFB Trenton took a 70-59 victory over Team Atlantic’s CFB Halifax to claim the gold medal – but, as it had been the rest of the tournament, it was anything but easy.

“We had a great team this year, we were fortunate to be able to pick up two really great players for the tournament and we all just jelled,” said Ontario’s Lt. Col. Todd Murphy, who moonlights as the commanding officer of the 8 Wing/CFB Trenton Air Maintenance Squadron. “We played together a lot last year with almost the exact same team. It was just a really great team atmosphere and team experience.”

Ontario took a 16-10 lead out of the first quarter but found their lead whittled down to only two points 32-30 at half. As the score would indicate, Halifax wouldn’t go away without a fight – and sure enough, they managed to tie the game late in the third quarter.

That would be as close as Atlantic would get, though, as an 8-2 run to close the third put Trenton ahead 51-45. The fourth quarter was more of the same, and while Halifax pulled within 10 points a handful of time in the final frame, Ontario’s lead was never threatened.

“We know these guys, we’ve played against them a few times over the last few years and they’re a fantastic team,” Murphy said. “We knew that they were going to make a comeback. We just had to try and maintain our composure, weather the storm and then make sure the fourth quarter was ours.”

Ontario’s Capt. Timothy Boyle and Maj. Bradley Krajcik led all scorers with 18 points, while Avr. T’Jani Rutty added 13.

S. Lt. Greygory Wagner-Conserve and Lt. Cody Brown had 15 points each for Atlantic, L.S. Christopher West had 11.

The gold medal final was part-and-parcel of a slew of close games all through the event – most were decided by fewer than eight to 10 points, and the round robin saw three teams tied with 2-1 records.

The West’s CFB Edmonton actually took top spot in the preliminary round after point differential, but lost 78-55 in the semifinal to Atlantic. Quebec’s CFB Valcartier went 0-3 in the round robin, never losing a game by more than six points.

“All four of these teams could have won this tournament given the right set of circumstances,” Murphy said. “We were fortunate it played out in our favour, but everyone who competed here played hard, worked hard. It was a really competitive, well-played tournament.”

All in all, the event also served it’s main purpose of giving the players a positive diversion from their day-to-day military activities.

“It’s just a great opportunity for sportsmanship among military people, a chance to come and enjoy the time together, and physical fitness as well. There’s a lot of benefits to something like this... we’re kind of professional basketball players for a couple days,” Murphy said with a laugh.

“It’s a good opportunity for people from diverse backgrounds to come together militarily, we end up playing a lot of these same teams every year, as luck would have it, so it’s a great way to create bonds and meet great people and have some good competition.”

Local cheerleaders set to take on the world Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw’s Christa Jamieson and Hope Brenner will take to the mat for the first time at World Cheerleading Championships shortly after 9 a.m. on Apr. 28 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla. By 11:30 a.m., they’ll know how they and their Lady Luminous teammates from Regina fared in the first step of competition – finish against the top 10 against the best from all of Canada in that two hour block, or it’s all over.

That’s the level of the stakes when you’re competing for a World title at that level of competition. And you can bet neither of the two Vanier Collegiate grads would trade the experience for anything.

“It’s really the opportunity of a lifetime that most of us have been dreaming about since we were younger,” Jamieson said prior to a recent training session in Regina.

“There are teams we’re going to be going against that actually won the World championship last year, so it’s going to be kind of intimidating but it’ll be fun to be see that kind of competition at the same time.”

The qualifying process for a Canadian team to get to Worlds is anything but easy, as the path Lady Luminous took to earn their spot shows.

World qualifying events feature three bids to attend available to teams looking to reach worlds – two at large bids and one partial-paid bid. Earning an at-large bid qualifies a team for Worlds; entering another event and earning another bid up-

Hope Brenner grades the original to a partial-paid, worth over $5,000.

Competing in the All Girl International Open Level 5 division – one of the highest classes of senior cheerleading -- Lady Luminous claimed a at-large bid at the True North Cheerleading and Dance Championships in Edmonton during the Mar. 10 weekend and then, at the Best of the West Cheerleading and Dance Championships in Regina the following weekend, took first place outright to earn a partial-paid spot.

“It was really nice to be able to come out on top there, because there’s a lot of competition,” Jamieson said. “After we got our at large bid we knew we were already go-

Memorial game to be held in honour ofRandy Broncos, Evan Thomas Palmer Moose Jaw Express The Moose Jaw Generals will be joining forces with the Moose Jaw Warriors for a special memorial game in honour of the Humboldt Broncos and former Generals forward Evan Thomas.

Thomas was among 16 players and staff of the SJHL team killed in the tragic bus accident on Apr. 6. “(Former Generals) Chantz Petruic and Ahmed Ally, they reached out to me and asked if we could put something like this together, they have all the contacts with those guys and I thought it was a fantastic idea,” said Generals coach Ray Wareham. “So we got together and we met with Alan Millar and the Warrior staff and discussed our options and it all came together pretty quickly.”

The game is set for Apr. 19 at 7:30 p.m. at Mosaic Place, with admission by donation and all proceeds going to the Broncos and the Thomas family.

In only a couple of days, more than 40 players signed on to take part in the contest – including Vancouver Canucks defenceman and former General Derrick Pouliot. The current roster includes a host of former Midget AAA players along with many from the SJHL and WHL. “Once word started getting out, there are a lot of guys who reached out and wanted to participate,” Wareham said.

The event’s organizers hope the contest will act as another step in the healing process after such a horrific tragedy.

“Everybody heals differently; hockey is ingrained in us here, it’s in our blood and Evan was part of our family,” Wareham said. “Plus his dad is a former Warrior on the Wall of Fame, and Evan’s mom is a former Moose Jaw girl, so there a lots of ties to the community.

“Anything we can do that might help, we’re just honoured and pleased to be able to do it... we’re just trying to make it a night where we all get together to honour Evan and maybe share a few laughs as a part of the healing process.”

ing to worlds, so it was nice to win a little bit of money for this.”

The local duo and their teammates will face the aforementioned crucible known as the International Open All Girl Level 5 Canadian Qualifier on Apr. 28. There, they’ll do battle with the best of the best in Canada – including the reigning world champion Flyers All Starz from Montreal -- and look to finish in the top 10 and advance to the overall International semifinals the next day.

“The goal for us is to get through to Day 2 this year... we’ve been doing really well this season, but that’s against local teams and all that,” Jamieson said. “Since this is the best of the best we have no idea how it’s going to go. We’re training really, really hard to upgrade our skills to go further with it, but we’re really hoping to make Day 2, for sure.”

Based on what they’ve seen this season, there is a decent chance that could happen.

“The team last year were 11th, so they just missed it, and the team this year is thriving compared to last year’s,” Jamieson said.

“So we’re quite excited to see how it’s going to come out... it’s going to be kind of intimidating but it’ll be fun to be see that kind of competition at the same time.”

The competition semfinals are set for the afternoon of Apr. 29 and overall final for Apr. 30.

Warriors force Game 7

email: editor@mjvexpress.com

Halbgewachs scored in triple OT to win Game 6, force series into deciding contest Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Warriors and Swift Current Broncos found themselves in some very familiar territory on Monday night.

One game at Mosaic Place for all the marbles, one game to decide whose season continues and whose season ends prematurely.

Last year, that Game 7 came in the first round of the playoffs; this year, its in the Western Hockey League Eastern Conference semifinal, between the top two regular season teams in the league. And it came about after some incredible outcomes last week.

After the Broncos tied the best-of-seven series 2-2 with a 3-2 win in double overtime on Apr. 11, the Warriors fell 2-0 to Swift Current at Mosaic Place in Game 5 on Apr. 13. Then, with their season on the line one night later at the Credit Union iPlex – also the exact same situation as a year earlier – the Warriors took a 3-2 victory in triple overtime.

And once again, it was all down to one game.

Warriors 3, Broncos 2 3OT Jayden Halbgewachs scored the biggest playoff goal of his career in Game 6 in front of a raucous crowd in Swift Current,

taking a cross-ice feed from Kale Clague and beating Broncos goaltender Stuart Skinner with a low shot 1:14 into the third overtime period.

The win came after an impressive third period comeback by the Tribe and on the back of an astounding goaltending performance from Brody Willms.

Willms turned aside 58 shots total, 25 of those in overtime, with a handful of diving and sprawling stops on sure scoring chances among them. It was easily the highest number of shots Willms has faced in a game .

As well as he played, though, it looked like it was all going to be for naught early in the third period, as Matteo Gennaro and Tyler Steenbergen had scored to give the Broncos a 2-0 lead 3:35 into the final frame.

Jett Woo got one back when his seeing-eyed shot found its way through traffic and behind Skinner at the 6:43 mark. The Tribe then tied the game five minutes later, when Brett Howden tipped a point shot by Clague past Skinner to tie the game.

There the score remained for another 41 minutes of hockey until Halbgewachs scored the game winner to extend the se-

Broncos 2, Warriors 0 An injury to Warriors forward Tanner Jeannot saw head coach Tim Hunter break out an interesting strategy to combat the loss of one of their top wingers – the team dressed eight defencemen and regularly played a rearguard on the left wing.

“We dressed eight defenceman because that gave us the best chance to win,” explained Hunter. “I wanted to be able to play an older player up front, someone who has a little more grit and little more of an idea how to play in these situations...

We’re looking for help, we’re looking

for scoring and it’s a lot to ask a guy like (rookies) Brecon Wood and Tyler Smithies to do in this situatuion. So we decided to go with eight defencemen.”

The scheme didn’t pay off offensively, as Skinner picked up his second straight shutout at Mosaic Place, stopping 36 shots to give the Broncos the lead in the series.

Kaden Elder scored Swift Current’s first goal 3:53 into the contest on a shot that was redirected past Willms; Giorgio Estephan had their second goal midway through the third when a defensive breakdown left him open in the slot.

Willms turned aside 24 shots in taking the loss.

Broncos 3, Warriors 2 (2OT) Gennaro scored the game-tying goal 1:22 into the third period and then, nearly 60 minutes later, capped off a hat trick with the double-overtime winner to tie the series at two games each.

Jeannot and Woo scored for the Warriors in the second period; Gennaro opened scoring with 5:53 remaining in the first period.

Skinner made 51 saves in taking the win; Willms turned aside 43.

Moose Jaw rink Ackerman wins silver at Canadian U-18 girls curling championship

Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express Even though they were a team making their first appearance at a national curling championship, you’d never know Skylar Ackerman and her Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre rink were raw rookies at the Canadian U-18 girls nationals in St. Andrews, N.B. this past week.

Ackerman and her foursome of third Madison Johnson, second Chantal Hoag and lead Samantha McLaren posted a 4-2 round robin record before rolling through the playoffs all the way to the gold medal game where they fell 6-3 to Nova Scotia.

“I’m really proud of the girls, we kept our momentum going that we had coming off the win at provincials, we improved each and every game,” Ackerman said. “We just played our hearts out and left it all out there and had lots of success.”

Saskatchewan got off to a solid start at the tournament in St. Andrews, N.B., winning their first two games 7-4 over B.C.’s Jaelyn Cotter and 10-2 over Northwest Territories Zoey Walsh.

“We didn’t really know what to expect because it was our first nationals, but af-

A 6-5 loss to Ontario’s Madelyn Warriner was Ackerman’s first setback at the event, but she responded in style, rolling past P.E.I.’s Lauren Ferguson 7-3 and Yukon’s Bayly Scoffin 15-0 before closing out the round robin with a 4-3 loss to New Brunswick’s Erica Cluff.

With her 4-2 record earning her a spot in the double-knockout playoff round, Ackerman scored four in an extra end to take an 8-4 win over Northern Ontario’s Bella Croisier. She followed that up by scoring three in the first and two in the third against B.C. to build a 5-1 lead through three ends, a lead she’d never relinquish on her way to an 8-4 victory.

That sent Ackerman through to the medal round, where she ended up in an epic battle with Alberta’s Ryleigh Bakker in their semifinal contest. The two teams were tied through six ends when Bakker picked up a pair in the seventh to go up 5-3. Ackerman managed to get those back in the eighth to second the game to an extra end, where she manufactured a steal to take 6-5 win.

“It was a very stressful game,” Ackerman said with laugh. “I think that one was more stressful than the gold medal game because we knew if we won that one we would have a chance to go for a medal and come home with something... it was definitely hard, but we kept trusting in each other’s abilities and pulled off the win.”

From there, it was off to the gold medal game against Nova Scotia’s Isabella Ladouceur and chance at national glory.

Through the fourth end, things were looking exceptionally good, as after blanking the first three Ackerman used the hammer to pick up two and take a 2-0 edge. Nova Scotia got those points back the very next end to tie the game and then stole two in the sixth to go up 4-2. Ackerman was only able to get one back in the seventh, and Ladouceur tacked on a deuce in the final frame for a 6-3 win.

“They played really great and sometimes the game doesn’t go your way, but we’re still pretty happy with silver,” Ackerman said. “It’s a little bittersweet, we would have liked to have won gold for Saskatchewan but we’re still pretty proud to be second-best in the country.”

The Moose Jaw foursome will have plenty more cracks at the U-18 title – Ackerman, Johnson and McLaren all have two years of eligibility left in the age class, while Hoag has four.

After competing as a child, his passion led him to audition and make it to the top 16 of the first-ever So You Think You Can Dance Canada. Having a love for commercial dance as well, he joined Nico Archambault (Winner of So You Think You Can Dance Canada Season 1) and his band, The Pinup Saints for their North American Tour. After the tour came to an end, he teamed up with Sean Cheesman to assist on So You Think You Can Dance Canada (Seasons 2 and 4), and So You Think You Can Dance America, (Seasons 6, 8, 10, and 11). He returned to Vancouver, BC to be a dancer/actor on the CW series, Hellcats. While performing on the television show, he choreographed and danced with a group that opened for such artists as Tyga, and Nelly. Throughout his journey, Joey has been fortunate to work for such artists as Sarah McLachlan, K’naan, Carly Rae Jepsen, These Kids Wear Crowns, Mariana’s Trench, Ciara, and other greatly talented artists. In 2015, Joey toured Switzerland in a show titled, Art on Ice, where he performed alongside Nelly Furtado, and Tom Odell. He was then asked to be apart of the 2016 tour for Art on Ice, performing alongside Jessie J, as well as the Jacksons. He is currently a member of O2 the Dance Company founded

by Sarah Dolan and is teaching across western Canada Sessions run daily Monday to Thursday at 9 am, 1 pm, 3 pm and 6:30 pm and Sunday at 9 am and 1:30 pm, followed by awards in the late afternoon. Session Passes are $4, Day Passes $8, and Weekend Passes $20.

Don’t Stop Believing Do you remember the song by American rock band, Journey, called “Don’t Stop Believing?� Originally released in 1981, it is the best selling digital track from the 20th century, selling over 7 million copies to music lovers all over the United States. The song was birthed from when the father of keyboardist, Jonathan Cain, reminded him many times, “Don’t stop believing or you’re done, dude,� when he struggled as a musician living on Los Angeles’ Sunset Boulevard. Interestingly, the song has been played for numerous sports events and became a regularly played song at the ball fields of Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks and San Francisco Giants. The hockey team, Detroit Red Wings, adopted the song during their playoff run and it was also played in the closing ceremony of the Joe Louis Arena in 2017, home of the Red Wings.

I’ve heard it said, whatever you believe, will come about. If you believe you’ll never get ahead, that’s what will happen. If you believe you’re going to make it, you will. Regardless of circumstances in life, belief is the determining factor of whether or not one will have achievements or success in life. Belief is the bottom line for anything to work. I once read a true story of when a train maintenance worker died of exposure when he was accidentally locked in a refrigerated train car for the weekend. He had convinced himself that he was going to freeze to death and he did. The sad part was the refrigeration system wasn’t actually working.

The Word of God says “all things are possible. Only believe.� What needs to change in your life? Do you desire to get out of debt? Have reconciliation with a family member? Get healthy? Break free from addictions or bondages that hold you back? Start a new business?

Buy a house? I have good news for you! Once you get your “believer� working, things will begin to change in your life! Never give up believing! Find promises in the Word of God to grab hold of and stand on in the journey from here to there. Never go back on your prayers. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit.� Keep your words aligned with the Word of God. Watch over your confession... listen to what is coming out of your mouth. Is it doubt and unbelief? Or faith that the thing that you believe, will come to pass? The minute we begin to doubt, it negates the journey of faith we started on. Doubt and go without. Faith and you’ll do great!

If we aren’t walking in agreement with God’s Word, we are walking in doubt. Kenneth Copeland says “doubt is the thief of God’s blessings.� There are over 5600 promises in God’s Love Letter to us but we allow doubt to creep in and don’t stand on the final authority, the Word of God, over our situations. God is waiting to pour out His blessings in our lives, but we’ve allowed doubt to become a stumbling block to that blessing. The way around that is by feeding on the Word of God daily and allowing it to override every thought of doubt and replace it with faith. Faith gets the job done! Faith is the title deed of things hoped for. Get your hopes up, dear readers and ONLY BELIEVE! ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Scripture references: Mark 9:23, Proverbs 18:21

Joan Ritchie EDITOR

I received a wonderful invitation recently to babysit one of my grandsons for a week and put my ‘nurturing grandma’ hands-on skills to work. I’m not called on often, as there are a couple of provinces to separate us but the timing must be right. Because MacGyver just turned two, I guess they now feel comfortable enough to leave me responsible for him, even if only for the work days that take them away from home through the week. I assured them that I had the credentials of being really good at my job as a mother because I said, “Look at how great you kids turned out!”

I’m not sweating it but hoping that I can keep up to this little going-concern. Our son is already laughing and wondering if I really do have the goods to take on the job; they just returned from a week in Mexico and he said that instead of having a vacation, it was a “Mac-ation” because the whole holiday was only about Mac, his needs and goings-on. He is developing a mind of his own and as it seems, his ever-ready battery of energy keeps him in constant move. I think I may have to forgo the chocolate that I was going to bribe him with…otherwise I may have to peel him off the walls that he would be climbing.

Another one of my concerns is that I will have to change poopy diapers. I guess I’ll have to buy the ones that say ‘up to 25 lbs’, that way, I won’t have to change them as often. Just kidding!

I think I will look at the situation as an extreme weightloss camp. I will just have to weigh out the calories lost during the day against those gained in the evening drinking a glass or two of wine after the sweet darling goes to bed. The mama will be home by then so I can lavish in a few hours of a holiday away from home after dark. I wonder when I will have time to do some cooking so the family has a few meals in the freezer for after I’m gone; maybe during nap times? I wonder how many naps he takes now and how many I will snooze alongside because of exhaustion? No matter what, I’m still excited to be there with him, even if only a brief time now during the beginning of his ‘terrific twos’.

This brings me to the point. Kids grow up so fast and in the light of the tragedy we have all experienced here in our province, may we value every day and opportunity with those we love, especially our kids and our kids’ kids.

Unanimous vote sees city revert to garbage collection system as it was in June 2017 Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Citizens of Moose Jaw spoke, Moose Jaw city council listened. And the decision was made to push the contentious curbside garbage collection system to the wayside.

After 16 months of debate, discussion and a telephone poll that eventually proved the tipping point for many citizens, council decided that: -- residential waste collection would revert to the combined curbside and back-alley pick-up system as existed in June 2017; -- that the requirement for replacement and recovery of bins by homeowner on collection day be extended to all residents, regardless of location; -- that a weekly waste pick-up schedule will apply for June, July, August and September, effective June 2018.

All three motions passed unanimously, while a motion to allow a neighbourhood to move to curbside collection if a petition showed a majority interest was defeated.

Coun, Don Mitchell – who had been vehemently opposed to curbside pick-up in the executive council meeting where the original motion was passed – asked for a re-vote on the curbside motion after the executive council report had been filed.

That kicked off a nearly hour-long process that included a cavalcade of speakers voicing their opinion on the subject, all in opposition to curbside collection.

“This is the last place I thought I’d be after the poll said 85 per cent wanted (collection) in the back alley,” said Moose Jaw resident Rick Walker, with his sentiments echoed by every speaker. “People give their lives to live in a democratic country and we seem to have an undemocratic four on city council... I’ve talked to many people in area one where I live and honest to Jesus, I haven’t found one that wanted front curbside pick-up.

I’ve talked to a lot of people on the east side of town and I haven’t found one that wanted curbside pick-up.

“This four, they know who they are, took that 85 per cent poll and the $10,000 of taxpayers’ dollars and fired it in the garbage can. It meant nothing to you to do it that night. Treating the taxpayer with respect, the people who put you in here to begin with, should be number one on your minds.”

Immediately after the final speaker had said their piece, Mitchell’s motion for a revote was brought to council, and the original motion in favour of curbside pick-up was defeated unanimously.

“We didn’t have a lot of discussion on the survey, I was kind of taken by surprise that the recommendation came forward in spite of the survey that we had invested in as a way of including residents in the process,” Mitchell said. “But I didn’t hear anyone on council challenge the results of the survey and as we heard from the gallery, that didn’t matter. To me, that matters a lot, especially when talking about the service of waste collection, which I mentioned earlier of all the services we provide is the one we rely on property owners the most to work with us.”

Mitchell continued, saying that the resistance to curbside collection had largely been pushed to the side and dismissed from the start of the process, even in spite of

poll numbers that showed the majority opposed to the change.

Prior to the vote, Mayor Fraser Tolmie thanked the speakers who commented on the issue and the direction council was leaning.

“Democracy isn’t easy and sometimes it’s messy,” Tolmie said. “But it’s a process we exchange in and this community has really stood up and made its voice heard and I believe this motion will pass.”

For Coun. Brian Swanson, the entire issue was a matter of “closing the barn door after the horse has gone”.

“I think back to when we sat in that room a year-and-ahalf ago and this came up, I remember losing six-to-one after saying ‘don’t get into this, don’t try and do this’,” he said.

“And unfortunately it’s become the issue of the city for 16 months now, when as people have said tonight, there are so many important things we should be dealing with... To get chasing down rabbit holes about garbage when we shouldn’t even have gone there, and tonight we see it’s a full swing to 7-0 to not implement this any further. And I think of all the energy and time and money that got wasted doing that... that should be the story of this.”

As a result of the motions, there will be no change to current pick-up procedures or schedules until weekly pick-up returns in June. Homeowners will, by law, have to move their bins from the back alley if there is no garbage in them – such as when out-of-town -- to prevent collectors from wasting time picking up empty bins on a regular basis.

The Moose Jaw Music Festival gets underway on Sunday, April 22nd-Saturday, April 28th. Classes will include Vocal, Musical Theatre, Piano, Strings and Band.

Adjudicators will be coming from across the province to provide performers with valuable feedback following their competition performances.

The Scholarship Competition on Thursday, April 26th at Zion at 7:00 pm and the Final Awards Concert on Sunday, April 29th at Zion at 2:00 pm are both opportunities to hear from a range of talented musicians of all disciplines. The generous support of our sponsors allows the provision of a number of scholarships and awards to the performers who most impress our adjudicators.

Here is a price list to attend the Festival performances: • Season pass (includes admission to all venues & the concert on April 29th) $25 • Day pass (admission to all venues all day) $6 • Scholarship Competition (includes reception afterwards, April 26th) $10 • Final Concert (April 29th) $5 • New this year: 18 & Under are FREE • Programs $10 (Programs will be available for purchase at John’s Music by April 13th) To put on a successful Festival takes the work of a number of volunteers and we are still looking for help. We need volunteers to help as door attendants at each of the venues and also as secretaries to

assist the adjudicators. People can sign up online at http://signup.com/ go/neKqdLV where they will see a more detailed description of volunteer duties, or they can contact us by email at moosejawmusicfestival@hotmail.com. As our thanks, we will provide volunteers with a season pass to attend the Festival.

The Festival Committee encourages everyone to come out and take in some of this year’s Festival.

Events will be held at a few locations in the city and the schedule can be found in our program. The Festival is an excellent opportunity for our young musicians to build their confidence and experience, and to share their talents. We hope you will come and enjoy!

Phyllis Mae Jones, aged 83 years of Regina, SK passed away on Friday, April 6th, 2018. She was predeceased by her father, Philip Waters (1963); mother, Janet Waters (2003); step-father, James Poulter (1981); only brother, Dennis (1960); brothers-in-law: Eldon Jones, Roy Cameron, and Mervin Jones; and sisters-in-law: Audrey Williamson, June Jones, and Elaine Jones. Phyl is survived by her loving husband of 57 years, Ken; several cousins in Canada and Scotland; special nieces and nephews from Ken’s family; and very special Asian “grandchildren� from Phyl’s ESL classes. She will be remembered dearly by her sisters-in-law, Gwen Jones and Phyllis Cameron; and brother-in-law, Lloyd Jones. Phyllis was born on the farm near Keystown, SK in 1935 and when she was eight, her family moved to Pense, SK where she completed her Grade 12. She went to Teacher’s College in Moose Jaw, SK in 1954, achieved her Bachelor of Education from the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, SK in 1960, and later her Bachelor of Arts from the University of Regina in 1975. Phyllis was a life-long learner and teacher: she taught Grades 1 and 2 in Wolesley, Regina, and Moose Jaw, and ended her 35 years of teaching as a Language Arts Consultant with the Moose Jaw Board of Education. During that time and up until 2016, she attended classes at the Lifelong Learning Centre, University of Regina. Phyl always had a book in her hand (and sometimes had three on the go) and spent much time at the library. Phyllis volunteered tutoring non-English speaking students through the Regina Public Library from 1989 to 2016. During that time she helped many students learn English, find jobs, start businesses, and become outstanding Canadian citizens. Along the way, Phyllis received many awards for her efforts: 34 years in the Education system, Sask Senior Volunteer Award 2014, Council of Federation Literacy Award 2013, Sask Literary Award of Merit 2012, and 25 years Volunteer Regina Public Library (ESL) 2014. Her greatest reward was the Asian friends she made and their children who called her “Grandma�. Phyllis was very active in the United Church in Pense, Rosemont, Westminster, and Eastside in Regina, SK. She taught Sunday School, was a CGIT leader at Zion United Church in Moose Jaw, a Pastoral Care Committee Chairperson, and visited care homes on a regular basis. The Funeral Service was held on Thursday, April 12th, 2018 at 1:00 p.m. in the Eastside United Church, 3018 Doan Drive, Regina, SK. Reverend Russell Mitchell-Walker officiated and interment will take place in Rosedale Cemetery at a later date. Flowers are gratefully declined. As an expression of sympathy, donations in Phyllis’ name may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan, Unit 26 - 1738 Quebec Ave, Saskatoon, SK S7K 1V9 or the Canadian Cancer Society, 1910 McIntyre St, Regina, SK S4P 2R3.
