The Shop for a Cure featured a host of vendors offering all sorts of wares, with all proceeds from the event going toward T1D in Moose Jaw in the quest to find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes

Shop for a Cure brings in support for juvenile diabetes research Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

The first-ever ‘Shop for a Cure’ appears to have been a rousing success.

A steady stream of patrons paraded through the Minto United Church hall on the morning and afternoon of Apr. 14, perusing a host of vendors who set up shop for the day in support of T1D in Moose Jaw, a local Type 1 diabetes support and awareness group.

Early returns saw the organization having raised around $750 through vendor table fees alone, and with a goal of $1,500 for the day, organizer Cory Christison was optimistic things would turn out as well as hoped – and that his organization would end up bringing more awareness

and support to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

“It’s looking pretty good right now,” he said Saturday afternoon. “I’m a businessman; I wanted to do something I’m familiar with and I’ve always wanted to put on a trade show. So I decided to take an idea I wanted to do and use it to help somebody or help a cause. So all of the donations that we have now are going towards our T1D Walk to Cure group.”

The Walk to Cure Diabetes is an annual event held in across the province in support of the JDRF. The T1D in Moose Jaw organization supports the Regina event, which is taking place June 10.

The local event was about increasing awareness of Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disorder that sees the pancreas unable to produce insulin, a horomone with a variety of key functions regarding glucose absorption. Without it, the human body cannot survive, meaning people with

Type 1 diabetes have to have regular injections of insulin in order to live.

“A lot of people don’t understand it,” said Christison of the Type 1 form of the disease, which differs from Type 2 in that it’s not a product of diet and lifestyle. “There’s a lot of misinformation out there and we want to just kind of get a little bit of attention, let people know that we’re here for them if they need support and raise funds for a good cause.”

Depending on how successful the first edition of the Shop for a Cure is, Christison hopes to hold another as early as this year.

“From the feedback we’ve been getting, our vendors are pretty happy. Once we have some hard numbers and feedback on how everyone did and what we can do better, we might do something in the fall for some of the other things the JDRF does,” he said.

Think Construction 2018 gives students hands-on experience Sasha-Gay Lobban

Students from the Prairie South School Division got a chance to receive first-hand experience and knowledge in the construction field, as they participated in “Think Construction 2018” at Sask. Polytechnic on Wednesday, April 11.

The students got to see and interact with professionals in the industry who shared their expertise. Saskatchewan’s construction industry is full of opportunities—from electricians and plumbers to business owners. The industry reportedly accounts for more than 52,000 people employed across the province and it continues to expand.

This means there is a high-demand for graduates and entrepreneurs today and into the future. This event also took place in conjunction with the province’s annual Saskatchewan Construction Week. The event was one of several that took place all over the province, that focused on the opportunities students have right here in Saskatchewan.

“...This is helping us make more informed choices for what we want to do after graduation.”

-Student Participant Logan Shaver

Students had the opportunity to connect and problem solve with industry experts and develop career mentors.

They also gained hands-on experience, explored different areas of employment in construction, and were exposed to possible work career choices through high school credits and industry programs. “This event is surely enriching for our students because they get hands on learning and this empowers them in their career decisions as they move through their education,” said Brett Young, Career Development Consultant at Prairie South. “It’s really

Polytechnic where they have all the resources here and they see and experience a construction classroom setting. Also, this could be where they come to school, so it is good that they’re getting a taste of what the classroom looks like and the programming, if they choose to get involved in construction. What is also very good is that, these are students who have an interest in this area, so they chose to be here.”

Logan Shaver from Riverview Collegiate said he enjoyed the hands-on experience he gained from the event. “I really enjoyed the day. We were able to come here to get some hands-on learning so that we can make the best decision possible for when we graduate from high school.

This is helping us make more informed choices for what we want to do after graduation.”

Think Construction 2018 was held in partnership with All ‘N’ All Construction, Moose Jaw Construction Association, Saskatchewan Construction Association, Saskatchewan Construction Safety Association, C&S Builders, Saskatchewan, and Saskatchewan Polytechnic.

Jobransa Centre settles in at new location Sasha-Gay Lobban

The Jobransa Centre, (formerly known as the Jobransa Foundation) has moved to a new location where it is more visible to the public and easily accessible. Jobransa Centre is now located at 431 4th Avenue SW—South Hill, across from the Maple Leaf Bakery.

The Centre which offers a range of programming support for children with different abilities now boasts a great space which will help in meeting the needs of children as they take part in the programs.

Erin Hidlebaugh, Communications Director at Jobransa says the new location is more accessible to the public as the location is an ideal one. “We’re lucky to have this new location because it is a really busy street so there’s lots of traffic and lots of people can notice where we are. At this location, we have nice big windows; we have a lot more foot traffic and we get to use the space more wisely and instructively. One of the things that’s also good about this is that while we are working on the administrative stuff, we can also be interacting with the children and our teaching mentors can have a better grasp of what all the children are doing in here.”

She explained that the Centre is a Kids

mosphere, rather than a traditional school.

We all love the new space which provides a better learning area for our children.”

Jobransa strives to help children of all abilities gain access to resources and programming. They offer individualized programs and group activities for children in the community. For more information about the Jobransa Centre and its programming, you can visit https://jobransacentre.org/ or find the on Facebook and Twitter @JobransaCentre.

Questionable features to new Saskatchewan provincial budget still exist The second edition of the three-year Saskatchewan Party plan to eliminate the $1 billion annual deficit wasn’t nearly as controversial as the first edition.

That first edition raised storms of protest over expecting government employees to take a nine per cent wage cut over three years, over insistence that library users rely on Google instead of paper books, over depriving poor people of a funeral service, over loss of rural bus service for thousands of people, over cuts that increased local property taxes, just to mention some of the just grievances.

This budget is mild by comparison but does contain some questionable matters.

The decision to close new applications to the rental allowance supplement for low income residents seems callous and harsh. The cancellation until a new federal-provincial agreement is negotiated is premature. Why not wait for a new agreement?

To some this decision sends a message that the SaskatchHOSE CLAMPS WITH CASE

ewan Government doesn’t care if more people become homeless. Keeping the allowance certainly wouldn’t break the treasury.

The application of provincial sales tax (PST) to sales of light used vehicles is questionable, given the Saskatchewan Party was originally elected on a promise to kill that tax; the argument made by the party years ago was based on the fact these vehicles have already had PST collected.

This opportunistic tax partially transfers a tax burden from one group of Saskatchewan Party supporters to the whole taxpaying population.

During the Saskatchewan Party leadership campaign solid farm objection to the PST on crop insurance was met with promises and legislation repealing the $65 million on premiums for crop, health and life insurance.

The new used vehicle PST will raise $95 million a year and shift a significant piece of that rural insurance burden onto urban taxpayers.

There is no argument for farmer hardship from PST on insurance premiums. Farmers are doing so well some older operators have postponed retirement as they have never made this amount of money before.

Taxes are supposed to be fair and equitable to all taxpayers.

And the budget speech lack of any estimate for the impact of revenues and costs of legalized cannabis this summer seems odd and out of touch with normal accounting practices.

There is no noted allocation in justice budgets for the costs. Finance Minster Donna Harpauer’s budget speech claimed too much uncertainty to estimate revenues. Surely the government must have some idea of the cost to implement legal cannabis.

The revenues will help cut into the forecast $365 million deficit. Why not take a conservative guess?

NDP hears feedback from locals on 2018/19 tabled provincial budget Sasha-Gay Lobban

Representatives from the New Democrats Party (NDP) met with locals and school board divisions on Monday, April 16 where they heard concerns in relation to the recently tabled provincial budget.

In the 2018-19 budget, the provincial government projects a $365 million deficit.

Carla Beck, deputy leader of the official opposition NDP and agriculture and education critic, says they visited Moose Jaw to get the city’s feedback on this year’s budget, citing some concerns of their own.

Beck says this year’s budget does not see a vast difference from last year’s budget, as it continues to take more out of the public’s purse rather than putting money in. “We know that last year’s budget caused a lot of concerns and increased costs for people in Moose Jaw and surrounding areas and we wanted to come out to hear how this year’s budget is impacting people. It is hard to look at this year’s budget without putting it in context with last year’s budget. Last year, we saw a great deal of offloading by the provincial government to municipalities and cities like Moose Jaw. For example, like the water bill in Moose Jaw increasing by 15% because of not only a need to replace infrastructure but also a lack of funding for infrastructure that was forwarded by the provincial government—downloading cuts to grants in lieu of the last provincial budget and that continues to have an impact on communities like Moose Jaw.�

She pointed to the education sector, stating that divisions continue to feel the brunt of tabled budgets. “Also, the very deep cuts that we saw in education where this government, despite taking in millions of additional education property tax, are cut-

NDPs Carla Beck and Warren McCall. ting funding from classrooms across the province and we know that this has had a very negative impact on classrooms all over the province. There has been a promise to put funding back into education but that doesn’t come close to filling the cuts that have been made, let alone, providing any money for growth. There is also no new money announced for capital funding within education and that has huge implications for school divisions that need new facilities or upgrading.�

Some of the concerns from Moose Jaw, she adds, is the lack of infrastructure spending. “Persons are concerned for sure about spending where infrastructure is concerned; concerns for the need to replace aging infrastructure; increase to water bills; no money for infrastructure in education. One of the things we’re also seeing is that people are still concerned that cuts were made across the province, which also affected the city—like the cuts to Wakamow. That’s something that has left a bad taste for persons in the Moose Jaw community.�

For his part, Warren McCall, MLA, Regina Elphinstone Center agrees with his

colleague stating that the implications for this year’s budget may reflect similar trends from last year. “There are number of things that have been walked back from last year’s budget—again, for every $2 taken out of people’s pockets, they only put $1 back. For example, paying PST on your meals, which has had a big impact on the economy and that hurt is carrying on; PST on construction which is having an impact on employment. In terms of repairing the damage from past year, there is still a lot of work to be done this year. This government is taking more money out of our pockets, through different things like utilities, PST and property taxes. People are paying the cost.�

Beck and McCall said after hearing con-

cerns in Moose Jaw, they will be giving a voice to the issues. “One of the biggest successes of las year was in regard to the libraries where people in Moose Jaw were integral in that fight that made the government rescind its decision. The government realized how bad that decision was, as pointed out by librarians and those who use the library. We would like to see more of that on different fronts and ensure that concerns are given the proper voice in the legislature. We want to make sure that the government is aware that people continue to struggle and are looking for a better vision and a better understanding of the issues that people across the province are facing right now,� they noted.

Moose Jaw Community Players wins four awards at 2018 Theater Fest Sasha-Gay Lobban

The Moose Jaw Community Players (MJCP) continues to make our city proud through their impeccable theatre production and performances as the group copped four awards at the 2018 Theatre Fest!

The 2018 Theatre Fest which was held in Weyburn saw the local theatre group performing the thought provoking but funny, Melville Boys by Norm Foster.

MJCP won awards for: • Runner Up to Best Play • Best Visual Presentation • Best Characterization (won by Jarrod Jeanson) • Best Actress in a Supporting Role (won by Crystal Milburn) The awards add to the MJCP’s already impressive track record as the group has won numerous awards over the years. MJCP now holds 16 awards from their productions.

Producer and president of the MJCP, Tara Gish says the group is proud of their accomplishments. “We’re really proud and excited for the awards. It was a wonderful experience to compete against the other community groups. Battleford won for Best Play.

We always knew that they bring a good show. But to bring home four awards was really wonderful. These awards bring our total to16 awards we’ve won over an eight-year period since the MJCP has been competing. We love to go to the festival each year with our play. We usually practice here in Moose Jaw where the community has an opportunity to see us and then we go on to Theatre Fest.”

Director of the play, Debbie Burgher expressed similar sentiments. “It was a full week-long festival and we are

proud to have been there. There were

About the Melville Boys The Melville Boys, the first play written by Canadian playwright Norm Foster, was originally produced at Theatre New Brunswick in 1984.

Synopsis: A relaxing weekend full of fishing, football, and beer is on the agenda for the Melville brothers. So is confronting

eldest brother Lee’s terminal illness.

But their trip is thrown for a loop when the boys meet two attractive sisters who inadvertently change more than their weekend plans. In this modern Canadian Classic, Norm Foster offers a tender comedy full of vigor about brotherhood and the unexpected.

Smitty’s receives five awards at national conference Honours range from service and quality to sales growth for local restaurant Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

It might be one of Moose Jaw’s best kept sort-of secrets: the Town ‘n’ Country Mall location of Smitty’s Restaurant is literally one of the best of it’s kind in Canada.

That’s not hyperbole, either – the local franchise was honoured with five service and sales awards at a recent national conference attended by general manager Mark Abbey, in addition to long-time owners Norm Hales and Dave Hill receiving 45year service plaques.

“Service-wise, I’d say we’re up there, and sales-wise we’re in the top 10,” Abbey said when asked how his restaurant ranked nationally. “For being in the market of Moose Jaw compared to stores in places like Winnipeg and Edmonton, we’re doing pretty well.”

“We strive to have the best customer service that we possibly can, that way customers will want to come back,” he added. “I think we have the best staff in town and we’re very fortunate to have the staff we have, both front and back... I’m really grateful for the situation that we have right now.”

The majority of the awards came from Smitty’s Mystery Shopper program: four times a year, patrons representing Smitty’s visit each location in Canada, with manag-

Polytechnic helps solve conservation investigation In April 2017, Draganfly Innovations and Saskatchewan Polytechnic received an Engage Grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to pursue research using UAVs to get a 3D snapshot of a conservation crime scene. In the same month, the partnership was able to put their project to the test, assisting with a wildlife investigation where a cow and calf moose were shot illegally near Alvena, SK. Draganfly sells aerial solutions to law enforcement agencies around the world. Working closely with conservation officers, Sask Polytech researchers David Halstead and Leila Benmerrouche, and Draganfly sales lead Andrew Carson, were happy to put their applied research project to use in a real-world setting.

“Our systems provide ease of use and automated data collection, allowing law enforcement officers to easily collect information and recreate those scenes, essentially preserving their crime scene so it can be measured and observed,” Carson explains. “When developing a UAV program, it’s not just taking a drone out and flying it, but understanding the optimal work flow and sharing that with other officers.” The applied research team used a fixed wing Sensefly eBee UAV to conduct a mapping mission of the area. A total of 150 photographs were taken by the UAV and used to recreate a 3D snapshot of the crime scene. A digitized tool was used to highlight tire and moose tracks. A nearly continuous set of tracks could be traced

from where the moose was processed to where the vehicle had become stuck in the ditch.

“Conservation and environmental protection officers work in wide open spaces, where evidence of movements and actions of perpetrators such as wildlife poachers must be interpreted in complex terrain, unlimited by walls, streets or buildings,” says Halstead, a senior researcher and project manager within the School of Natural Resources and Built Environment in Prince Albert.

This was one of the first instances in Canada where a UAV has been used in the successful prosecution of a conservation related crime. The ability to tie the case together visually through the use of UAV technology was very beneficial in solidifying evidence and gave a visual story to what happened to the cow moose and calf.

Draganfly Innovations creates quality, cutting-edge unmanned vehicle systems and software that revolutionize the way people do business. Recognized as being at the forefront of technology for over 20 years, Draganfly is an award-winning, industry-leading manufacturer within the commercial UAV space, serving the public safety, agriculture, industrial inspections, and mapping and surveying markets.

half of Hales and Hill – it might come as a bit of a surprise to see sales increase and growth percentage awards, but that’s all a product of the hard work the Smitty’s team puts into the equation.

“I always tell the girls we want to make sure the customer is happy,” Abbey said.

“It’s not always going to be perfect all the time but we’re always trying our best.”

This isn’t new ground for the Town ‘n’ Country Mall location, either. They won five awards at the same conference in 2017.

“That would be nice, it would be great to see that support from Moose Jaw,” Abbey said. “There are a lot of great business in Moose Jaw, so if you can compete with those guys and do well, that’s fantastic.”

Local author shares how to pen historical fiction Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

The interesting thing about writing historical fiction is that it has its base in history, and history is literally documented events that have taken place.

In writing a fictional story about something that’s happened can be challenging when it comes to getting readers to buy into the story.

That was just one hurdle that Moose Jaw author David Richards helped some aspiring writers overcome as part of his historical fiction workshop at the Western Development Museum on Apr. 13. The event included a variety of tips from the author of four acclaimed novels, as well as a tour of the museum and how ideas could be generated from such a simple walkthrough. “We’re going to talk about history and we’re going to talk about fiction and how to blend the two together,� Richards said prior to his seminar. “You have to be careful, because a lot of people who read historical fiction read a lot of it, so if you try to sling too much fiction or revise history, you can run into troubles... “The fiction is number one, you have to write a good story, a good yarn and it has to float along in the historical river. But you can’t revise or change history, otherwise the people who are reading it will nail you instantly. So it’s a pro and a con thing; like a guy who writes poetry has to wait from some inspiration to hit him. With historical fiction, you go to the library, open a book and you see a million plots.�

Richards knows of what he speaks. A writer of historical fiction since the mid-80s, Richards has had four novels published through Thistledown Press, with his second

David Richards reads from a book of poetry during historical fiction workshop. book – The Lady of Batoche – winning the 1999 Saskatchewan Book Award for Young Adult Fiction. His more recent tomes Soldier Boys and The Source of Light have both received award nominations.

While the history part of the whole equation is naturally important, it all comes down to brass tacks in the end – you have to have the fiction part down, just as well. “The real tricky part for me is still getting the fiction,�

Richards said. “Getting the story, getting the characters, getting the plot and the inspiration to make it go. That’s the good guys, guys like Ken Follet, they’re fiction writers who have a lot of history flowing through them.�

It also helps to write what you know or at the very least do some heavy research. That comes into play for Richards when it comes to choosing locales for his stories. “My historical fiction that has been published has all been based in Saskatchewan or started elsewhere and ended up in Saskatchewan,� he said. “We have lots, tons of good stories here... One came from when I was looking at the Riel Rebellion and the photos of the Battle of Fish Creek, I did a bunch of research and that was the first combat photography ever taken in the world. So that became a story.�

That book, Soldier Boys, was a national finalist for the 1994 Geoffrey Bilson Award for Historical Fiction for Young People.

Richards’ presentation was in conjunction with the Saskatchewan Festival of Words, which will be holding their official launch on Apr. 19 and is set for the July 19th weekend. “I love the Festival of Words,� Richards said. “It’s one of those things where if you wanted to see Margaret Atwood, you had to go to a big festival in Vancover or Toronto. Now, you can get in your car or walk a few minutes, and there’s Margaret Atwood in Moose Jaw telling you how to write. “It’s really neat and the people who are here who run it and work with it are top notch.�

From The Kitchen

Le f t o ve r Fre n c h f r ie s m a k e e n c o re app e a r a n c e

By Joyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express

The folks who do research and tracking of such details advise that the average North American will annually eat up to 30 pounds of French fries.

Those fries may come from fast food restaurants, food trucks, country cafes and from the frozen food sections of most grocery stores.

Fries are the popular side dish eaten with hamburgers, chicken fingers, under gravy and cheese curds, even with steak and eggs — fries are welcome anywhere and with almost any food.

But what does one do with the fries that are often left over? Too often they are sent back to the restaurant’s kitchen for disposal or are thrown into the family’s garbage bag.

There’s no need to waste them. They may be re-energized in a variety of ways, with examples provided in this week’s recipes.

• • • Microwaved Extra French Fries 1/2 tbsp. vegetable oil

2 cups left over French fries 1/4 cup diced onion Chop fries in half and place in a large bowl. Add onions and vegetable oil and toss to coat evenly. Place fries on microwave safe plates that are covered with paper towels.

Heat for 10 minutes in microwave. Spread fries onto a platter and cool 2-3 minutes before serving. Note: heating times may vary depending on microwave. Check frequently to ensure fries do not burn.

• • • Oven Fries Any amount of left over French fries vegetable oil for drizzling salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder to taste Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Cover a baking tray with foil. Spread fries on the tray and drizzle with vegetable oil and season to taste.

Heat for 5-10 minutes. Shake tray occasionally to prevent burning. Serve when fries are crisp.

MLAs Column

Warren Michelson Moose Jaw North The budget for Saskatchewan Health Services is the largest entity of the provincial budget, and as the population increases there is greater emphasis on providing Warren Michelson, MLA health services in our province.

The 2018-19 Saskatchewan Health Budget includes a focus on ensuring health services are delivered in new, innovative ways, to better meet the needs of residents.

This year’s record health budget will work to improve health care for all Saskatchewan people.

The transition to a single Saskatchewan Health Authority late last year is already saving $19 million in administration costs. These savings are now being reinvested in front-line services to enhance health care.

This year’s budget includes new initiatives such as Universal HIV Drug Coverage, Individualized Autism Funding, and a Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Program.

Targeted funding will also provide Saskatchewan people with increased access to mental health, palliative care and community-based primary health care services.

The 2018-19 budget fulfills our commitment to vision loss rehabilitation services and equipment with a $250,000 increase to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind.

• • • Hash-Brown Style Skillet Fries 2-3 cups left over fries, diced 1/4 cup diced onions 1/4 cup green pepper, chopped salt, pepper and seasonings to taste shredded cheddar cheese diced bacon pieces olive oil to drizzle Chop fries into hash brown size. Saute onions and peppers until softened in a non-stick skillet in a drizzle of olive oil. Add diced fries and seasonings. Drizzle with more olive oil. Heat on medium heat, stirring constantly until fries begin to appear crisp. Reduce heat and add bacon pieces and continue heating and stirring. If fries appear dry, drizzle another portion of olive oil. Just before serving, add cheese and stir until cheese melts. Serve while hot.

More funding will also be provided to the Saskatchewan Health Authority for general operating costs and service pressures, as well as to prepare for the 2018 opening of Saskatchewan Hospital North Battleford and the 2019 opening of the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon.

Federal funding of $19.02 million has been included to support the provincial Connected Care strategy. This builds on existing provincial funding on connecting teams and providing seamless care for people with multiple, ongoing health care needs with a particular focus on care in the community.

Additionally, federal and provincial funding of $11.4 million has been added to improve community-based mental health services, including services and supports for children, youth and families. This brings the total investment in mental health to over $284 million in 2018-19.

Saskatchewan’s publicly-funded Take Home Naloxone (THN) program will also be expanding to provide free THN kits to people who may witness an overdose, including friends and family members of those at risk. Prior to this expansion, nearly 600 kits had been distributed for free to individuals at risk of overdose, and over 1,900 people received training on how to administer them.

The province spends more than $46 million annually on a wide range of addictions services. An additional $400,000 for addictions support is part of the 201819 Budget investment in mental health and addictions. Please contact your local THN program to make arrangements for training and to receive a free kit. For a list of sites where THN kits can be provided for free, visit www.publications. gov.sk.ca/redirect.cfm?p=85696&i=106365, or for a list of community pharmacies that sell THN kits, visit https://www.skpharmacists.ca/patients/naloxone.

Our government remains committed to taking the necessary steps to meet the needs of all Saskatchewan people, ensuring those most vulnerable in our community continue to receive the supports they need.

Health Foundation establishes “Laurie Kosior Nursing Scholarship” Sasha-Gay Lobban

At the recently held Health Celebration, the Moose Jaw Health Foundation recognized a long-time volunteer who they say has made a significant contribution to the Foundation’s fundraising efforts in the last 12 years.

The Foundation honored and recognized Laurie Kosior, chief coordinator of the Foundation’s popular fundraising annual event, Festival of Trees. To honor Kosior’s years of volunteering and unstinting dedication to raising funds for health care, the Foundation established the “Laurie Kosior Nursing Scholarship” for Saskatchewan Polytechnic Students.

The Foundation lauded Kosior, saying that she has been very creative in establishing interesting fundraising efforts and dedicated to improving health care through her countless volunteer hours. “Over the years, Laurie has been a driving force in our fundraising efforts with the enchanted Festival of Trees and other volunteer work with the Foundation. She is very creative each year in staging the Festival of Trees, something that the community looks forward to annually. As a result, the Foundation has estab-

lished a permanent nursing scholarship in honor of Laurie that will go to Sask. Polytechnic students who study nursing. The Foundation is honored to have Laurie and we are pleased to establish this scholarship,” said Executive Director of the Health Foundation, Kelly McElree.

Surprised by the recognition, Kosior says volunteering for the Foundation is something that she loves doing. She praised the community for its generosity each year. “I was completely surprised—very much taken aback and honored all at the same time. I didn’t see this coming at all. I started volunteering 12 years ago and I was just in it because I loved doing it and working. I am at a loss for words by this honor. The event—Festival of Trees, I love doing each year and just seeing what this community can do year after year is great. This is one of the most giving communities in the province when it comes to fundraising for healthcare and many other things. The community always steps up and gives from the heart and it is amazing,” said Kosior.

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS Discrimination against intact ear lobes

A recent ramble through an unsolicited mail order catalogue brought me to the pages displaying jewelry “to meet every discriminating taste.”

That claim was a load of hooey. Certainly the jewelry available for order consisted of necklaces and chains of all lengths and designs, bracelets for wrists and ankles, rings for fingers and toes, indeed something for almost everyone.

But the earrings that matched the bracelets and necklaces and rings, or boxed as individual sales items, fell below Joyce Walter the mark of suiting all discriminating tastes. In fact, all For Moose Jaw Express of them discriminated not so much against my taste but against my ability to wear them as they are meant to be attached.

One dangly pair caught my attention described in glowing terms: elegant design with sparkling crystals, tarnish-free, hanging 2 1/2 inches from the ear lobe to swirl with head movement. Those, I thought, would look spiffy with that new red top I bought awhile ago and haven’t had an occasion to wear just yet.

But wait. This set and all the others are meant to be worn by individuals who have holes in their ears, put there for the sole purpose of wearing earrings for pierced ears.

Bummer, and definitely discrimination against someone lacking those holes in the ear lobe or any other body part.

I should not have been surprised at the construction of the earrings. In fact, most earrings have posts that go through the holes and clasp at the back with a secure device.

Modern jewelry designers obviously know their main markets and anyone without ear holes is simply not a high priority in the matter of sales potential.

FOR SALE 600 acre farm/ranch and hunting property on beautiful water front setting on Pelican Lake.

To their credit, some designers will offer to switch the earring to a clip-on style but there’s usually a waiting period and a higher cost associated with this style of accessory. And in this particular catalogue, clip-ons were not an option.

I blame my parents, and some of my childhood girlfriends for my old fashioned ear lobes. When my friend was talked into having her ears pierced by another friend, I was invited to have mine done too so the three of us would have matching ears.

My parents were opposed, saying something to the effect “that if I had been meant to have holes in my head, I would have been born with holes in my head.” End of discussion.

However, their decree didn’t stop me from going along to the kitchen of our mutual friend where she got out ice cubes, safety pins and a ruler, plus a towel. She marked the spots on the ears and then used the ice cubes to freeze the spot. Then to my horror, she plunged the pin through the lobe, dabbed off the blood and fastened the pin before doing the same with the other ear. I remember looking at the blood on the towel and the pins in the ears and thinking maybe I wasn’t all that excited about pierced ears after all.

As it turned out, my friend got an infection and had to have medical attention before having her ears re-pierced by a professional, with skills and clean equipment.

All these years later I have had no desire for pierced ears — except when I can’t find any screw backs or clip-on earrings that don’t look like something my Grandmother might have worn.

I did find some vintage clip-ons that sounded lovely until I read the fine print: “previously enjoyed but in good condition. Sterilization required.”

I have safety pins that might be safer. No holes in the head for me at this stage of my life. Surely there are others with the same kind of ears. Maybe we could start a club.

Road trip assures us spring will eventually arrive in Moose Jaw

By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express

AGRIMART

EXPRESS The farm auction sale south of Lafleche had nothing of interest for us.

The vintage 135 Massey-Ferguson tractor wasn’t what my companion wanted.

There was only one trailer of “little stuff� — the things where we often find treasures (junk according to my partner and wife).

We were so early the coffee wasn’t yet ready. Homemade pie was being unpacked. “What do we do now?� was the question.

We took the highway south to Fir Mountain, the only place in Saskatchewan with the town well located in the middle of Main Street.

At Highway 18 the Yaris headed to Rockglen. Homemade pie was our goal.

South of Wood Mountain it was still winter with good snow cover everywhere. Four mule deer does grazed beside the highway.

One by one they gracefully jumped the

Near the Grasslands Park turnoff, we stopped at the old Wagner homestead.

Now vacant, the homestead’s crown jewel for photographers is a deteriorating one-storey stone house.

It was built with layers of flat rocks, or

manually flattened rocks – one at a time. A red-tailed hawk in the air seemed to guard the yard.

Across the road a bird perched on hay bales. The camera zoom lens showed it was a meadow lark.

No trillaleeimg from this pretty bird; perhaps saving its vocal chords from frost bite on this minus six blustery mid-April day.

As we approached Rockglen the gas light came on. The Co-op gas bar was open.

The Yaris had about three litres left.

Hot beef special and delicious pie were consumed at the Burning Hills Cafe.

Yours Truly spotted softball sized cream puffs; took one home for my partner and wife, hoping she would share. I got a nice taste.

We drove around town — one of the prettiest in the province — passed the front yard of collectibles at 419 Rider Road and by the Effie Mattson Nature Centre.

On the highway to Willow Bunch geese

dotted both sides of the road.

One partly open pothole was shared by Canada geese, some mallard ducks and a northern pintail duck.

A half dozen greater scaup ducks huddled along the shore of Willow Bunch Lake.

Real spring must be close.

The cinnamon buns at the Assiniboia Bakery were sure tasty. And we felt more confident about the arrival of spring.

I Respectfully Disagree‌

Michelle Seida-Dodd 306.630.9417

Pain Medicine, June 2017, Osteoarthritis Cartilage, December 2016, Arthritis Care and Research, December 2014, British Medical Journal, December 2017 What you see above are Journals and their respective dates of issue. They are respected publications in their fields and you can tell by their names they all publish articles relating to health, with a few of them dealing with pain and arthritis.

These studies were similar in what they were trying to find out. They were looking at whether there was any truth to pain being caused by certain weather conditions. For decades, if not centuries, many of those who suffer from arthritis, back pain or even headaches swear that their pain is worse when the weather turns bad or is about to change.

For some it is cooler weather, for others it is damper, more humid conditions that they say cause their pain to worsen.

Some suffer more when the barometric pressure changes and can even “predict� a change in weather with their achy joints.

I read these studies published in these issues, in these highly respected journals, and have come to my own conclusions regarding their research. To put it nicely, I think they’re a load of bunk!

The researchers in these studies have concluded that there is no causal relationship between the weather and joint or back pain. A load of bunk.

Being in chiropractic practice for 25 years I have seen the opposite. On days with certain types of weather, or if weather is to worsen in a few days, I see more patients complaining that their arthritis is acting up, or that they feel “achy all over�.

A few days ago, it was “I have a headache� in my office. It was a day of moderately intense wind. Patients (including myself) reported waking up with pressure in there sinuses and a tight band around their head.

Many doctors, chiropractors and massage therapists hear stories like these from pain sufferers on a regular basis.

While these are just anecdotal, there has to be some value put on these stories as compared to trusted medical journals.

While the the findings of these studies contradict what anecdotal evidence shows, is there really any value in doing more studies to prove or disprove this relationship? It’s not like there is a drug company looking to create a new medication for barometrically challenged people. Maybe retirement communities in certain climates would use the research findings as a marketing tool to attract arthritis sufferers.

Those of you who suffer the winds of change, I wish I had a solution that did not involve a change of venue. Just know that you are not crazy, even though medical research may say otherwise.

Cleaning

by Dale “bushy” Bush

It was an innocent act of convenience and logic, but the results of my modest effort was the tip of the iceberg, the start of the avalanche and the straw that broke the camel’s back.

I was in the middle of my daily 5 minute straighten-up, tidying the house and I had a damp microfiber cloth in my hand when I noticed paw and nose prints on the sliding patio door window where the cat and dog exit/enter the house. Not thinking about the consequences, I innocently wiped the dog’s nose prints and the cat’s paw prints from the door and that resulted in one window of many that was sparkling clean. That would make anyone with the slightest bit of Obsessive Compulsion Cleaning Disorder go crazy. Apparently, I have a slight bit of OCCD. Once a year I go nuts on the windows with hoses, brushes, a soap/ vinegar/water solution (secret recipe) and a squeegee with a good edge. One tip is to leave the hoses for the outside and use a pail of secret recipe when doing the interior windows. This prevents any extra mop-up work. The windows were sparkling and shiny enough to please my OCCD but the sliding patio door channels were grungy; that was easily vacuumed and then cleaned with a toothbrush and the secret recipe. A quick shot of WD40 and the cat and dog could almost open the sliding door themselves.

Now, I was in full tilt spring cleaning mode. The patio door’s windows were all sparkle-sparkly but the screens were dirtier than an old time hockey game. I tried to vacuum them but was not satisfied.

Then I tried a lint roller that we use for pet hair control and I could not believe what a difference it made.

My OCCD was satisfied with the results, so I decided to use this method on the other screen door in the basement. That is when I discovered I may suffer from another

crippling disorder. I fully intended to use my new method of screen cleaning but when I walked by the boot rack I stopped and bent over to straighten the row and promptly forgot my original mission. I began to store the winter boots and get the sandals out for the season.

The screen door cleaning chore was forgotten. I then realized I suffered from ADCD or Attention Deficit Cleaning Disorder which will result in a task being started but not completed because of even the smallest distraction…what was I saying? What happens then?

At the end of the day nothing is completely done.

Spring cleaning will never be the same now that I have discovered my new cleaning syndromes.

When you combine these minor personality flaws with the fact I am lazy there is only one logical solution: Prevention and maintenance! Keep something clean and you’ll never have to clean it. Wow, that sounds like a quote from Yogi Berra, but if I clean the cat’s paw print when it occurs instead of letting them accumulate into chore status the window will stay clean and it won’t be a chore to clean it. Sounds nice and logical but the lazy guy in me wants to let it slide …you know until… tomorrow and the OCCD guy in me needs to get it done now while the ADCD guy in me will begin the mission now and finish tomorrow…I am so confused and may need help!

My beautiful Bride is usually caring and understanding but for some reason she has doubts about my self-diagnosis of OCCD and ADCD. But she is sure of one thing: I am lazy and invented these disorders to avoid spring cleaning.

She is really smart.

Regular vehicle maintenance can keep money in your wallet !

The Automotive Industries Association (AIA) of Canada’s latest Outlook Study indicated that 54 percent of vehicles on Canadian roads are over eight years of age and that this number is growing, making vehicle maintenance more important than ever before.

Older vehicles require more TLC to keep them running efficiently and safely. Staying on top of your vehicle’s maintenance schedule means that it will emit fewer greenhouse gases and will be less likely to run into problems that can lead to expensive repairs and potentially dangerous breakdowns.

“A lot of drivers are opting to pay off their vehicles, and are enjoying not having a monthly car payment,” said Marc Brazeau, president and CEO, AIA Canada. “This is a great situation to be in, but it’s important to remember that you still need to invest in regular maintenance.

Not doing so – especially for an older vehicle –means that you are reducing your car’s lifespan and are likely to have to pay for expensive repairs down the road.” Bottom‐line benefits of regular vehicle maintenance include: 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

More Mileage: A well‐serviced vehicle has an increased fuel economy of ten percent and will cost you significantly less at the pump.

Less Costly Repairs: Simple things like having your oil changed regularly can correct small problems that, if left unchecked, can lead to costly repairs down the road.

Less Accident‐Related Expenses: Regular vehicle maintenance may cost you a few dollars today, but taking care of your car keeps you safe on the road and helps you prevent accidents, which typically cause your insurance premiums to soar and your monthly payments to increase dramatically.

Higher Resale Value: A vehicle that has been serviced as per its manufacturer recommended service guide, with proper records, is likely to have a higher resale value than one that hasn’t.

Longer Life for Your Car: Regular maintenance will prolong the life span of your vehicle, therefore postponing the need for a new car. This will allow you to save more money for your next vehicle down payment, or pay off other debts.

LETTER TO THE

EDITOR

Correction to Editorial dated March 28. 2018

The Editorial, “Trading Thoughts - Council bylaw would have raised developers’ land levy by 145 per cent,” published in the March 28, 2018 Moose Jaw Express, contains some misleading and inaccurate information.

I have enclosed and ask that you print the correction to the Editorial, which outlines the full background the public should properly be aware of. In addition, I enclose a public Council report which provides detailed background on this matter. That public report went to Council in December 2017.

Although I recognize that occasional errors occur in covering public issues, I felt it necessary to provide a written response to correct the record. This is particularly important given the Development Levy matter will be returning to Council for consideration

again in the next few weeks.

It is unfortunate the City was not contacted for comment prior to the Editorial being published. On that note, I would offer that should similar situations arise in future, a call to the City Manager’s Office would put you in contact with appropriate City staff who could provide any information required. We would be happy to assist in whatever way possible.

Please feel free to contact me at 306-694-4421 should you have any questions or concerns with respect to this response.

MYRON GULKA-TIECHKO, MA, JD City Clerk/Solicitor

Apology for incorrect information about development levy A Trading Thoughts column in the March 28 edition of the Moose Jaw Express concerning the developer offsite levy approved by Moose Jaw City Council contained an error.

The column written by Ron Walter said business leaders and developers did not have a chance to provide input on the bylaw. That is incorrect.

Fifteen builders, developers and the Chamber of Commerce were contacted by the city on August 28 last year. Written submissions and summaries of phone calls were provided to a Dec. 11 meeting

LETTER TO THE

of executive committee of council. The executive committee meeting is open to the public.

The report is available on the city website at moosejaw.ca under past agendas of city council.

On Dec. 8 the report went back to council for proposed changes, to executive committee on Jan. 8 and back to council on Jan. 22.

These meetings were open to the public.

Our apologies for the error and for any embarrassment or inconvenience caused by it.

Free Take Home Nalonoxe Kits now available to those who may witness an overdose In Saskatchewan, Take Home Naloxone (THN) kits are now being provided free of charge to people who may witness an overdose, including friends and family members of those at risk.

“We believe that even one opioid related death is too many,” Health Minister Jim Reiter said.

“Making Take Home Naloxone kits available free of charge to anyone who may need them has the potential to save lives.”

Over the past year, the focus of the THN program has been ensuring naloxone was available in most areas of the province. The THN program is now established in 15 communities across Saskatchewan, including Saskatoon, Regina, North Battleford, Kamsack, Yorkton, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, Weyburn, Estevan, Kindersley, Buffalo Narrows, Swift Current, Melfort, Nipawin and Tisdale.

THN kits, education and training are currently available through the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA). Nearly 600 THN kits have been provided to individuals through this program

and more than 1,900 individuals have received training.

Please contact your local THN program to make arrangements for training and to receive a free kit.

In addition, there are currently 29 communities with 84 pharmacies across Saskatchewan where THN kits are available for purchase. There is no prescription required to purchase a THN kit, however a pharmacist must be consulted before a purchase is made.

Naloxone is a medication that, when administered properly, can rapidly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. It is important to note that even after naloxone is administered, further medical treatment is required. Call 911 immediately if you suspect an overdose.

For a list of sites where THN kits can be provided for free to those who are likely to witness an overdose, visit www.publications.gov.sk.ca/ redirect.cfm?p=85696&i=106365.

DameBusters rolling along in preparation for first game Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Saskatoon and Swift Current.

Seeing that kind of support was especially positive for Gallagher, considering the team literally didn’t exist three years ago.

“We started from essentially nothing. I went only to military girls at the time saying ‘I know you don’t know what roller derby is, but you should give it a shot’,” Gallagher said of the DameBusters’ genesis in April of 2016. “So the first year was a lot of work but we’ve been growing ever since.”

The team currently has a roster of 21, including four referees and six veterans, with the remainder largely ‘fresh meat’ or rookie players. They started training in January, aiming for that first game in May. That contest won’t be an out-and-out fullon game, but as a controlled scrimmage will offer the younger and newer players a chance to see what the game is all about.

“Almost everyone from our team is going and I expect everyone will come back with smiles on their faces and having learned a huge amount,” said Gallagher, who also saw her troops take part in a major boot camp practice in Regina recently.

The Moose Jaw DameBusters are gearing up to throw some hits and rack up some points against their roller derby opponents this summer.

The team is currently taking to the rink to practice regularly for their first game of the season at the end of May in Killam, Alta., kicking off their five-game campaign.

There will be plenty of training leading up to that contest – one session of which took place in the form of a super-practice at the 15 Wing gym at the end of March.

“It went very well,” said the DameBusters’ ‘Cherry Bomber’, also known as Capt.

Andie Gallagher. “We’ve developed a fair amount of expertise in coaching and basic and intermediate skill development here at 15 Wing, so we wanted to use it as an opportunity to share with other friends in the community and take some of their experience from them to help our junior players with actual game development and things like that.”

A total of 30 players took part in the event, including 10 from the DameBusters and a few former Moose Jaw Lil Chicago players to go along with skaters from Regina,

“It’s a unique sport in that you can practice all you want and until you’re on the track giving hits and taking hits, you don’t know what it’s like when it comes to the intensity.”

Because of the structure of city and provincial leagues in the province, the DameBusters find themselves playing an exhibition schedule at this point, given their large swath of inexperience. With the way the sport continues to thrive in Saskatchewan, there’s plenty of competition out there when they’re ready.

Broncos bounce Warriors on the road in Game 7 again

By Matthew Gourlie

The Swift Current Broncos added a lot of players for their 2018 playoff run.

In Monday’s decisive Game 7 it was their longest-serving players who led the way though to a 6-0 victory over the Moose Jaw Warriors. The Broncos had a 3-2 series lead and a two-goal lead at home in Game 6 against Moose Jaw before the Warriors rallied to win in triple-overtime. The Broncos exercised some demons after blowing a two-goal Game 6 lead at home a year ago in the second round to the Regina Pats when they could have closed the series out against the top-ranked team in the WHL. “I think most of the guys in the room have played in a Game 7,” said Broncos captain Glenn Gawdin. “For the guys who were on the team last year we knew both sides.

We wanted the feeling after winning and we got that.

There was a motivation for us to bounce back because we did lose in Game 7 last year in the second round.

“Personally, that wasn’t going to happen twice.”

The Broncos have played four straight series in the last two seasons that have gone to seven games.

“For some reason we like to play Game 7s, but adversity means nothing for this team,” said Gawdin who had four points Monday. “The way that we can bounce back and fight through adversity is the real reason why we won 6-0 tonight.”

Swift Current will now advance to their first Eastern Conference final since 2001 and face the Lethbridge Hurricanes. The teams made a blockbuster trade mid-season that saw them swap starting goalies, which will add plenty of intrigue to the series.

The Broncos and Warriors were the top two teams in the WHL all season and the loss at Mosaic Place was a tough blow for the regular season champions from Moose Jaw who were also looking to win their first league title.

“Going into this season we wanted to do better things. It was our last season and we knew we had a really good team,” said Jayden Halbgewachs from the Warriors who was the WHL scoring champion in his final season. “We showed it throughout the year by finishing first and put-

ting two banners up, but to not pull through in the playoffs obviously doesn’t feel good.”

For the second straight year the Broncos earned three of their four wins against Moose Jaw on the road. Not only did the Broncos win three straight in Mosaic Place, but goalie Stuart Skinner shut out the Warriors in each game.

“Swift plays well defensively,” Halbgewachs said. “They box out really well and didn’t let us get to the inside. We have to get to the inside to score goals and unfortunately we weren’t able to do that too much in the series.”

Skinner and the Broncos defence posted a 1.67 goals-against-average over the seven-game series.

“Stu was definitely a big part of it,” said Broncos defenceman Colby Sissons. “We tried to keep them to the outside as best we could and not give them to much space. They’re definitely a high-powered offence. Our team defence was good all series and it paid off tonight.”

The Warriors finished the playoffs with a 3-5 record at home. All five Warriors losses came in regulation. They only lost four games at home in regulation during the 36 games of the regular season.

“We were really resilient and played urgent on the road and we couldn’t match that simple, urgent hockey here at home for some reason,” said Warriors head coach Tim Hunter. “We got out of character at times and that a bit of it tonight.”

Hunter said it was a night where nothing went right for his team. He felt that was symptomatic of their playoff run in general.

“To win in the playoffs everything has to go right and they didn’t for our team. We had 14 really hard games and we were really banged up. It’s tough to play and have confidence when you’re not 100 per cent and we weren’t,” said Hunter who wouldn’t divulge any of the details on injuries.

“They’re a good team. They were right behind us. They play a totally different style of hockey than we do. It comes down to one game and which team was better. If our team was healthy I would have liked our chances a lot

better tonight, but they weren’t. That’s the way that goes.”

Both teams came out attacking and instead of the cagey start many expected, both teams generated chances.

Sissons opened the scoring with a point shot that took a big deflection off of Jett Woo’s stick and got past Warriors goalie Brody Willms.

The Broncos double their lead with 35.4 seconds left in the first period when Gawdin buried a great Aleksi Heponiemi feed.

“We definitely wanted to get the first one and it helps put them on their heels,” said Sissons after his three-point night. “We never stopped from there. Obviously they had their pushes, but at the end of the day we came out on top.”

Broncos head coach and general manager Emanuel Viveiros felt his team’s ability to score at big moments in Game 7 ended up being the deciding factor.

Sissons felt some of that came down to their Game 7 experience.

“It’s huge. Just to be able to stay in the moment and not get too nervous. The fact that we’ve been here before knowing that definitely helps,” Sissons said.

Willms made a pair of big early saves in the second period, but couldn’t stop a Tyler Steenbergen rocket 3:22 into the second. Just over a minute later Sissons sprung Gawdin for a breakaway and the Broncos captain put his team up 4-0.

The Broncos earned the game’s first power play of the night in the third period and it only took 20 seconds for Heponiemi to set up Giorgio Estephan up for Swift Current’s fifth goal of the night.

Things went from bad to worse for Moose Jaw when defenceman Brandon Schuldhaus took a wild one-handed slash at Andrew Fyten as he broke in on a breakaway and clipped him on the top of the helmet. Willms stopped Fyten’s chance, but Max Patterson buried the rebound and Schuldhaus was assessed a match penalty.

Skinner made 25 saves to earn the shutout.

Willms made 32 stops in the loss.

PLEASE CALL DANIEL FOR MORE INFORMATION

220 MULBERRY LANE. MOOSE JAW, SK

We all owe those citizens who brought our city council into the light regards garbage pickup a big thank you. Your efforts are very much appreciated , we all know it took quite an effort on your part......

All we need now to retire this issue completely is the removal of the additional tax charges placed on our water bills , after all if we are not changing there should be no need for the additional tax , right? Stay tuned I’m betting council will want to hold onto this tax and that somehow after the smoke clears the cost of picking up our garbage will have increased by a significant amount over the old method prior to the giant bins and new equipment they purchased.

Remember I audited my own utility bills covering all of 2017 which showed I paid $3283.78 to buy $1836.34 worth of goods and services and $1447.43 in taxes. This is a significant addition to my taxes and although some or all of it may be necessary I think we are entitled to know were these accumulating dollars are or what they have been used for........

We pay over $120 every month in hidden taxes in these bills.

Lets ask, talk to city council members as well as the Mayor find out..........

Roll on democracy!

If ever we get the chance to decide together our common future, we will not let any of us get a far larger part of the wealth and leave a large group with just enough to survive. Of course this call for democracy can hardly be understood these days, as everyone seems convinced, despite all evidence, that “representative democracy� is democracy. This has been repeated so many times, over such a long period of time, in the mainstream media, that even several progressive forces are buying it. I can already hear strong reactions.

Oh, but this real democracy is not possible today, we are far too many.

Nonsense! First, the technology is there; second, and more importantly, most decisions should be taken by the concerned people, directly or indirectly, not by absolutely everyone – concerned or not. Plus, democracy would eliminate a lot of issues raised by the actual absence of democracy in terms of peace, fairness, environment. Most of what we can do now is listening to the rich and powerful ones, laughing at us, despising us, protected by this fiction of democracy – the representative democracy. A time will come, I hope, for our own collective future and the future of our planet, that democracy, real democracy, will prevail.

Court decision on Sask. nurse fined for speaking out raises some eyebrows

TRADING THOUGHTS

LETTERS TO THE

Every home saves a life

The Canadian Constitution Charter of Freedoms section guarantees freedom of expression in Canada.

For some folks that right seems to have been violated by a recent Saskatchewan Court of Queens Bench decision.

The decision by Justice Grant Currie, a former Moose Jaw resident appointed a judge in 2005, was about a nurse who spoke out publicly about her grandfather’s quality of care in a care home.

Her comments on Facebook led to an expensive investigation/hearing by the Saskatchewan Regby Ron Walter istered Nurses’ Association (SRNA). She was accused of and found guilty by the hearing of breaking confidentiality in a code of ethics that prevents public comments about her profession.

The Saskatchewan Union of Nurses and the B.C. Civil Liberties Association supported her right to comment.

Public sympathy was with the nurse from the get go. Who else, but a member of the medical profession is qualified to comment in public about quality of care?

The entire SRNA process left a sour taste in the public mouth. What ever happened to freedom of speech?

The court decision reinforced that idea and question.

In his decision, Justice Currie noted the nurse’s right to freedom of expression was not the focus of issues.

The issue he had to decide was: did the SRNA under the powers of self-regulation granted by the province have the right to levy that $26,000 fine?

He apparently had no choice. Provincial law allows the SRNA to fine members for speaking out of turn on health care.

The SRNA has a process for members to lodge complaints and for hearings into those complaints and action. That is the only course this nurse should have taken under the law as it stands.

The culprit in this case isn’t a lack of common sense. The culprit is Saskatchewan laws that give such broad powers to an organization like SRNA to regulate its own profession.

Lawmakers in Saskatchewan should be considering their options in light of this court case. One option would be to review the laws allowing the SRNA and other similar organizations to regulate their professions.

How can the law better reconcile an obvious conflict between our fundamental freedoms and self regulation by professional organizations? Has the time come for non- SRNA members to have some say in operations as happens in some jurisdictions?

Precedent exists for change. The province recently changed disciplinary authority for the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation.

We look forward to provincial action on this issue.

More than 450 secondary and post-secondary students and apprentices from across the province showcased their talents in the skilled trades and technologies at the 20th annual provincial skills competition hosted by Skills Canada Saskatchewan.

Events took place Friday, April 13 in Regina at Evraz Place Canada Centre and the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Regina Campus. The competitions covered a wide array of skillsets: from robotics and website development to automotive technology and cabinetmaking.

“The Skills Canada Saskatchewan Competition gives our province’s young people the opportunity to demonstrate their remarkable abilities in the skilled trades and technologies,” Immigration and Career Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said. “To participate in this competition takes hard work and dedication.”

Gold medal winners may qualify to represent Saskatchewan at the Skills Canada National Competition in Edmonton in June. This is an important year for competitors, since it is a qualifying year for the World Skills Competition to be held in Kazan, Russia in 2019. World Skills Competitions are held only

MARY HELEN SMITH Mary Helen Smith (Fraser) of Moose Jaw passed away on January 24, 2018. She was born July 4, 1927 on the family farm close to Stony Beach, SK. Helen grew up on the farm and went to Rocky Lake School and later to Regina where she worked as a house keeper and went to Scott Collegiate. After school Helen took up hairdressing and went to Prince Albert, SK but unfortunately the acids and the rinses in the hair colour did not agree with her hands and she had to quit. Helen moved to Moose Jaw and worked in retail and a bakery. One warm summer evening Helen asked Cecil Smith where he was going, and he replied for ice cream to which Helen said she would go with. That was the start of a friendship which led to a long and happy marriage. Together they saw a good share of the World. They traveled to England, Scotland, Germany, 44 of the 48 United States, 10 of the 12 Province, nine times to Hawaii, eight times to Mexico, drove miles on the Trans Canada Highway and many other provincial highways. A special memory is watching the first space orbit of the moon together. Helen will be sadly missed by her husband Cecil; daughter Cheryl (Larry) Berkan, granddaughters Kim (Shaun) Mack, Tara (Michael) Ede and Kayla (Kyle) Monette, and one great-granddaughter Makenna Monette. A Graveside Service will be held on Saturday May 5, 2018 at 1:30 PM at Rosedale Cemetery. A Memorial Tea will follow at 2PM at 262 Athabasca St. E. In living memory of Mary, a memorial tree planting will be made by W. J. Jones & Son Funeral Home. Please sign the memorial register at website: www.wjjonesandson.com (Obituaries).

Loyalty Rewards Have you ever done a personality test? I’ve seen several different types of tests that come to similar conclusions.

According to the Meyers Briggs Personality Types test, I am an ESFJ. Another ‘label’ I would carry would be a “phlegmatic.� Someone would also suggest that I represent the “blue quadrant� or according to Carol Tuttle, I may be a blend of Type 2 (Sensitive) and Type 4 (Serious). Part of my tendency is to be loyal. I am generally dependable and steady. I take things in stride and don’t over-dramatize things. I would bet if I was prone to being a caregiver, my type of personality would work well in an emergency room however, I’ll assure you that I would not be a good asset in the emergency room, trust me... Hubby is a lot better nurse than me!

Lil Sweet Pea and I have been studying the book, “Character Sketches,� published by Institute in Basic Youth Conflicts, which is designed to illustrate principles of the Bible through nature. The latest character strength we learned about was loyalty and how one of the aspects of loyalty is being willing to adjust a schedule to meet the needs of those I am serving. In a practical sense of putting loyalty into action, we learned that the Great Horned Owl is very loyal to its young. In fact, because of the demands of feeding, the female begins nesting very early in the spring; so early, in fact, that she may be setting on her eggs during extreme cold and snow as it nears the end of winter. The female owl is very determined to set on her eggs even if the weather is less than ideal; she never leaves her nest during extreme conditions in the case that her eggs would freeze. She sacrifices comfort and nourishing her body in order to serve her owlets more fully when they are born. When the owlets are born, they are very demanding and have an enormous appetite. The benefit to early nesting is the fact that leaves and foliage have not started to grow yet and the remaining snow provides a sharp contrast in which rodents are easily spotted. The Great Horned Owl is an amazing example in nature of how “loyalty is adjusting my schedule to meet the needs of those I am serving.�

I like to think that we can learn a lesson in loyalty from The Great Horned Owl. Let’s lay aside our agendas and serve others with a cheerful attitude, making the adjustments needed to come to their aid. In being loyal, we are showing that the other party has value. Another word for loyalty is devotion or faithfulness. I have found that being loyal to Hubby is essential for building a culture of trust in our marriage. As I sow seeds of loyalty or faithfulness in our relationship, I will eventually reap a good harvest from it. This is something I must be vigilant at and in return, it provides a safe, secure relationship. Loyalty can be shown in many ways; adjusting our schedule to the needs of others is only one way that can provide a culture of love and honor in our homes. Next week, I’ll touch on more ways we can build strong character in our lives. “Never let go of loyalty and faithfulness. Tie them around your neck; write them on your heart. If you do this, both God and people will be pleased with you.�

“Bad things do happen in the world, like war, natural disasters and disease. But out of those situations always arise stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.”

Daran Kagan Every year during the month of Joan Ritchie April, thoughts of my mother-inEDITOR law surface. Although she passed away in the month of September in 2014, I think of her during April because Parkinson’s disease is what she succumbed to. April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month and as sad as it seems, this debilitating disease is growing in the population. From personal experience having to endure the strength and vitality being robbed from her quality of life over time, it was hard to take, a slow bleed. It also took away her dignity. In hindsight, I think most diseases do that!

Although Parkinson’s took her life, she fought it to the end with a wonderful sense of humour and with God’s grace.

From the first day I met her to her demise, she was always “an ordinary person doing extraordinary things.”

Why does Parkinson’s occur?

The symptoms of Parkinson’s appear when there is not enough dopamine in the brain. Dopamine is a naturally produced chemical that allows nerve cells to transmit messages between each other and then to muscles to facilitate normal movement.

Who gets Parkinson’s? ·More than 100,000 Canadians have Parkinson’s disease. ·Parkinson’s affects both men and women across all ethnicities. ·The majority of those diagnosed are over the age of 65. ·The average age of diagnosis is 60 years. ·Parkinson’s disease is not a normal part of aging; but the incidence increases with age. ·Due to the aging baby boom population, the number of people in Canada with Parkinson’s is expected to double by 2031. ·Almost 20 percent of those diagnosed with Parkinson’s are under the age of 50. This is commonly known as “Young-onset Parkinson’s disease”.

Annually, Moose Jaw holds a walk to fundraise for Parkinson’s. The Parkinson SuperWalk Moose Jaw will take place this year on September 8th in Wakamow Valley-Kinsmen-Wellesley Park. Individuals can register online at http://donate.parkinson.ca or donate to the cause.

The contact person for Saskatchewan is Michelle Carlson @ 306-933-4481 or michelle.carlson@parkinson.ca .

It is always great to see the community come out to the walk to support individuals and families who are affected by Parkinson’s, as well as fundraising/donating to the cause. Funds raised through Parkinson SuperWalk go to support education and support services in the communities where the money is raised, as well as research and other national programs like advocacy, a toll-free information and referral line and education for health care professionals. Monies also support the National Research Program toward finding better treatments and a cure for Parkinson’s.

With the Miller Express twenty-sixth season in Moose Jaw just around the corner, the team is searching for new billet families for the 2018 campaign.

The Miller Express bring in great collegiate ball players from all over Canada and the U.S.A. to play at Ross Wells Park from the end of May until the middle of August. The Miller Express are looking for families that are

willing to bring these players into their homes and make them part of the family for the summer.

The Miller Express are searching for billet families that are willing to open their doors to one or two players. For compensation, the Miller Express give the family $300 per player per month plus 2 season tickets for the 2018 season. The families need to live in Moose Jaw so that the players can

find their own way to the park.

Players can be great mentors to young kids and can teach them so much about the game of baseball and life in general. In many cases they have become part of the family with players returning year after year to the same billet family and other billets getting the experience of getting to know new players from all across North America.

SaskTel ‘Phones for a Fresh Start’ cellphone recycling drive In celebration of Earth Month, SaskTel announced the launch of its second Phones for a Fresh Start cellphone drive. Managing to divert over 5,000 cellphones and their accessories from the landfill last time, the drive seeks to do even better this year.

“Phones for a Fresh Start is an amazing program that has diverted more than 106,000 cellphones from our landfills,” said the Honourable Don Morgan, Minister Responsible for SaskTel. “With more than 600,000 unwanted cellphones estimated to be stored in Saskatchewan homes alone, I’m hoping that this Earth Month everyone in Saskatchewan will make the effort to help keep our province green by taking this opportunity to get their unwanted phones recycled.”

Beginning April 19 and running through to April 30, SaskTel is encouraging anyone looking at getting rid of an unwanted cellphone to donate it to Phones for a Fresh Start by dropping it off at any SaskTel Store or Authorized Dealer. And, while the program accepts donations year-round, those donating during

the drive will receive a complimentary Phones for a Fresh Start wrist band while supplies last.

“E-waste is a growing problem, and most people are holding onto two or more cellphones in storage,” said Doug Burnett, SaskTel Acting President and CEO. “We know that finding a place to recycle specific items like cellphones can be hard for people so by launching this drive we’re trying to make it that much easier. The last thing we want to see is those phones somehow ending up in landfills.”

Partnering with recycler EDI Inc., SaskTel uses the proceeds generated from cellphones recycled through Phones for a Fresh Start to purchase pre-paid phone cards and new cellphones that are then distributed to those fleeing domestic violence through the Provincial Assoc. of Transition Houses and Services of Saskatchewan (PATHS).

To date, the program has provided PATHS with more than 2,800 cellphones and $71,000 in prepaid cards since its launch in 2009.

Aphid control in cereal crops now at fingertip

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Farmers can now use their smartphones for some insect control matters.

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) has developed an application for smart phones to help producers and agrologists deal with aphid populations in cereal crops.

Usable for wheat, barley, oats and rye, the app uses scouting data to predict the size of aphid populations within the next seven days as well as the best time to apply insecticide chemicals.

The app makes farmers scout fields properly and allows recording of the aphid numbers — no more math work in the field.

One interesting feature of the app is its work with beneficial insects – incorporating predators and parasites that keep aphid population numbers down.

Aphid scouting now also means scouting for aphid enemies.

The model used by AAFC to build the applicationn treats the field as an ecosystem and accounts for complex biological events.

These events include: — The number of natural aphid enemies in the field and the number of aphids they eat every day.

— Life cycles of the aphids and their enemies to account for development stages from egg laying to growth to life span.

— Non-crop plants in the field that insects may prefer over cereals.

The app should offer more accurate information on the impact of the aphids on crop productivity.

The Cereal Aphid Manager app can be downloaded from the App Store or from Google Play.

Local home market shows improvement over last year

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw residential real estate market took a little step up during the first three months of 2018 Average price of a home sold under the Association of Regina Realtors Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system was $224,219 – an increase of 2.7 per cent year over year.

The average is up even with new stress laws requiring mortgage applicants have the ability to pay higher than current market rates of interest.

Average sale price of a home was 44 per cent higher than 10 years ago.

Smaller and less expensive homes were traded this year with MLS sales volume of $7.5 million, down by 7.5 per cent.

Sales volume is 26 per cent less than 10 years ago.

Realtors handled sales of 80 units this year, compared with 89 in 2017 between New Year’s and the end of March.

The MLS benchmark price indicates stronger demand in Moose Jaw for two-storey homes.

Average two-storey home price this year is 4.9 per cent higher than last year at this time.

One-storey family home average price is down two per cent from last year.

Moose Jaw district sales ran at $5.2 million for the first quarter.
