Band City Stray Cat Rescue and Protection Society Inc. (SCRAPS) had a good year in 2017 and continue to do a great job with the feral cat population in Moose Jaw but they can’t do it without the support of people like you. SCRAPS is a non-profit organization of concerned volunteers. It takes money to spay and neuter the cats in trying to stabilize the feral cat population.

There are a number of main sponsors who help to assist in the cause but most of the funding necessary is gained through fundraisers. Everyone is encouraged to come out to two current fundraising events to support SCRAPS: From May 1st to 22nd, SCAPS Supurr‌Spring Indoor Yard Sale will be going on at the Town N Country Mall near the former Sears location. For 22 days you can prowl around for those purrrr‌fect finds! Donations of gently used items will be turned into much needed funds to help the community cats (no furniture, appliances, clothing or bedding.) If you have items to donate or for more information, please call 306.693.3044 or 306.693.0718.

There will be a Fish Fry Fundraiser for Frankie & Friends at Bobby’s Place from 5 – 8 p.m. on Monday, May 7th. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at Pet Valu, Family Pizza or by calling, 306.693.0718. You can eat, drink and support Moose Jaw’s community cats by attending and for this you get Bobby’s famously delicious Fish & Chips served with coleslaw. For anyone that knows, it’s fishfully fabulous!

SCRAPS humanely trap feral cats, neuter/spay and vaccinate, and then release healthy animals back into the community. They, as well, support feral cat colonies by providing shelters, feeders, and follow-up medical care as required and help to promote compassion for feral cats by educating the public about the important role feral cats play in controlling the rodent population.

SCRAPS works with other agencies to find home for those cats identified as adoptable and promotes responsible pet ownership by educating the public about the importance of spaying/neutering pets.

Citywide Clean-up Beautif-i-Moose Jaw to take place May 7-11 In partnership with the Youth Advisory Committee and the City of Moose, Beautif-i-Moose Jaw is encouraging everyone to take part in the beautification of the city during May. The sixth (6) annual Beautif-i-Moose Jaw is leading the citywide clean up during the week May 7-11.

Beautif-i-Moose Jaw began this initiative in 2012, encouraging businesses and schools throughout the city to take time and tackle the growing litter problem we have here in Moose Jaw. Once again AXIS YOUTH, City of Moose Jaw, Various Businesses of Moose Jaw, Global Warning Art Initiative will be taking place during the month of May. To kick-off the citywide clean-up, the community is invited to come out to City Hall on May 7th at 8:00 a.m. to clean-up the streets of downtown. Bring whatever tools you have to assist in the clean-up. Everyone Welcome!

If your school, organization or business is participating please email your information and any before and after photos to crystalfroese@gmail.com and they will be fea-

tured on Facebook.

Visit us on facebook: BeautifIMooseJaw for more information.

On April 27th, Mayor Fraser Tolmie signed the Proclamation “Spring It Forward Day” to use the citywide clean-up as an initiative to bring the city/community and corporate together to beautify the city.

The hope is that the residents “will take the positive feelings generated by the activities and carry them

forward year-round.” In the photo: (l-r) Councillor Crystal Froese, Business Owner Nigel Gemmell, Mayor Fraser Tolmie signs the Proclamation, Michelle Wendt with the Environmental Committee, Michelle Power, Business Owner and Environmental Advocate and Phil Simms with Axis.

The success of Saskatchewan students continues to be a top priority of our government. Education provides children with the foundation they need to pursue their dreams and achieve their full potential.

Increased funding to the Ministry of Education in the 2018-19 Budget will ensure students continue to receive high-quality learning and support services in school.

Saskatchewan’s 27 school divisions will receive $1.87 billion in school operating funding for the 2018-19 school year, an increase of $30 million over last year. This increase will allow school divisions to continue to support students in the classroom by hiring the equivalent of up to 400 teachers and other educational support staff.

Signed earlier this year, the Canada-Saskatchewan Early Learning Child Care Agreement will provide Saskatchewan with nearly $41 million to improve early learning and child care over three years, in-

ital grants to post-secondary institutions.

Students will also benefit from $34 million in direct financial supports, including: · Over $22 million to support the student loan program, which will provide repayable and non-repayable financial assistance to an estimated 16,000 students; · Up-front grants which provide up to $4,000 per year in combined federal and Saskatchewan assistance for a typical full-time student; and · $12 million for scholarships, such as the Saskatchewan Advantage Scholarship and the Saskatchewan Innovation and Opportunity Scholarship.

The Graduation Retention Program is one of the best graduate retention programs in Canada. It was introduced to encourage students who have completed post secondary studies to remain in Saskatchewan and to establish careers in our province. It has proved to be highly effective and students will continue to receive these post-secondary benefits. The Graduate Retention Program, continues to provide Saskatchewan income tax credits of up to $20,000 for tuition fees paid by graduates who live and work in Saskatchewan.

Budget 2018-19 in on track. It continues to ensure Saskatchewan students receive a high-quality education at home so they can feel confident in their career of choice in our Province.

Canadian company’s testing device inexpensive way to prevent strokes A tiny Vancouver company’s medical testing instrument could diagnose thousands of potential stroke victims in time to prevent the often deadly event.

Ten years of research and development culminated late last year in clinical trials for the testing device at two major U.S. hospitals.

The test, Carotid Stenotic Scan (CSS) uses sonic radio frequency waves and fluid flow to determine if the patient is in danger of an ischemic stroke. Eighty-seven per cent of strokes are of the ischemic variety.

The advantages of the CSS test are numerous. The test is non-invasive unlike angiogram tests. The test takes two minutes to complete. Results can be easily read and interpreted without a specialist.

The main advantage is price of the device and cost of the test compared with three current alternative tests.

An ultrasound machine costs $250,000 US with each test billed between $180 and $400. A magnetic resonance angiogram machine costs between $1 million and $2.5 million US with each test billed at $3,000. A computed tomography angiogram machine costs between $1 million and $2.5 million US with tests billed at $500 to $1,500.

A CSS machine costs $49,000 US with expected billing of $105 per test. The health cost saving in equipment and testing is obvious.

CVM has developed key supplier relationships with Canon, Hitachi TDK and other global operations. Canon’s global network should speed international sales once U.S. approval for CSS sale is received.

The company expects U.S. approval within the first half of this year.

The United States market is estimated at $11 billion.

Since the CSS cost is much lower than alternate tests, the CVM sales force will target primary care physicians as well as specialists, clinics and hospitals.

The company will receive $16 revenue for every test on its machines: a revenue source that can quickly add up to millions a month.

The question is: why is CVM stock at 39 cents share with such bright prospects? The simple answer is: bright prospects are all that CVM has today.

Once approval to market the test and instrument is received, and that isn’t guaranteed, the company has to ramp up sales and make a profit.

The health care industry is notorious for a conservative approach in adopting new technology that replaces tried and proven methods.

Take the situation of Quebec-based TS03 Inc. Since 1998 the company has developed safer more efficient sterilization devices for hospitals.

Health Canada licensed the product in 2010 and the U.S. Federal Drug Administration gave it approval in 2014.

Sales lagged approvals with $1.1 million in the last half of 2015, growing to $17 million in 2016 and $19.7 million last year.

TOS3 lost $7.4 million last year and lost $4.4 million in 2016.

Turning bright prospects into cash sales requires considerable time and money.

CVM is one stock that merits keeping on eye on for the time when profits are at hand.

CAUTION: Remember when investing, consult your adviser and do your homework before buying any security.

Bizworld does not recommend investments.

Exploring historical fact fiction Sasha-Gay Lobban

The Moose Jaw Branch of Saskatchewan Genealogical Society hosted award winning Sask. Historical fact fiction writer Byrna Barclay at the Library on Tuesday, April 27 in an interesting and eye-opening session.

In an intimate setting, Barclay read sections of some of her award-winning novels where she then explained how she weaved together historical fact fiction. “Language, culture and even religion are sources of inspiration for me. From fact, I launch myself into fiction,” Barclay to the group. “Sometimes, writers can be so absorbed into research that he/she will tend to weave the story into the history rather that weave all the elements of historical fact that enhance or reveal characters into the story.”

Asked if there is any conflict of facts versus fiction in the stories whilst writing, Barclay responded, “No, I always have applied the question of ‘what if’ in this history. I always said, ‘yes this really happened, but what if this would’ve happened?’ and I develop my characters in these stories with historical facts or basis upon which I write.” Barclay has won two Saskatchewan Book Awards and the Sask. Order of Merit in 2005. She has explored both sides of her family and includes some of her ancestors in her novels along with embellishments added for the sake of story.

President of the Genealogical Society, Marge Cleave says

Barclay’s style of writing is interesting but very different from what the Society does. She says, however, that Barclays ancestry in these novels caught the attention of the Genealogical Society. “Our society is consisted of members who get together, and all trying to find our ancestors or do research in family history. We do a lot of history records for Moose Jaw. Barclay wrote some books based on family history and folklore stories. We thought it would be interesting to listen to her read from some of her books and tell us the process she went through to write these award-winning books.”

“We don’t usually have someone who writes fiction, come in to speak because genealogy is based on fact. We thought, however, that Barclay would be interesting to listen to because a lot of people like to publish their family records that they’ve done on their family research, but it has to be based on fact. However, this is how Barclay writes where she incorporates facts with fiction and we found it to be very interesting,” Cleave added.

The Genealogical Society meets on the 4th Tuesday each month (except July and August) at 7pm in the Herb Taylor room at the Moose Jaw Public Library. You can find out more about the Society at www.moosejawgenealogy. com.

Canadian dollar value will support farm incomes this year: outlook

By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express

AGRIMART

EXPRESS A financially healthy Canadian farm sector is predicted for this year by the annual Canadian Agricultural Outlook.

The publication by Agriculture and AgriFood Canada forecasts a four per cent increase in net cash income for 2017 to a record $16.2 billion.

In Saskatchewan, net cash income fell four per cent to $4.8 billion with lower

returns for crops and livestock. Across Canada livestock returns grew by four per cent but fell two per cent in this province.

Saskatchewan program payments under safety net plans increased in 2017 by 22 per cent to $814 million.

For 2018, net cash income in Canada is expected to decline modestly to $15.6 billion as farm operating expenses increase faster than farm income with Saskatchewan declining four per cent to $4.8 billion.

National expenses of $45.6 billion will get to $46.9 billion in 2018, well below

the five-year average of $43.6 billion.

Saskatchewan operating expenses will increase two per cent this year.

Livestock receipts are predicted to increase marginally in 2018 even with lower prices in Canada. Saskatchewan livestock income will fall one per cent to $1.987 billion.

Energy and labour and feed costs will be up with fertilizer prices dropping.

Canadian farmers are better off than U.S. counterparts where income will fall up to 20 per cent.

Canadian farm incomes are supported by the lower value of the Canadian dollar and strong demand.

While net operating income per farm remains above the five year average, it will drop $265 to $84,163 in 2018.

In Saskatchewan average net farm income this year will fall six per cent to $87,677.

Average farm net worth across Canada will increase by $100,000 this year to $3.16 million as debt levels stay low.

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS Cow path easier to navigate than High Street Sounding like a broken record might be annoying to some, but then we’ve all been told about that squeaky wheel getting the grease it deserves.

Residents of Moose Jaw don’t necessarily want grease on their wheels but they do want the wheels on their vehicles to be protected from the bumps and holes and crevices that seem to be a norm on our city streets. Maybe grease wouldn’t be such a messy idea after all.

The conversation after a meeting last week inevitably turned to the condition of our roads — with not one complaint about the province’s paved highway system or the Joyce Walter grid road byways of rural municipalities. No one even For Moose Jaw Express grouched about garbage collection at this gathering.

Noooo, the topic of roads was 100 per cent aghast at how difficult it is to drive in Moose Jaw without appearing intoxicated to the casual traffic observer. Heads were shaken at how the condition isn’t limited to streets in a certain area of the city but that it seems universal — north hill, south hill, east end, west end, all around the town. For once we are all treated equally.

I am perfectly willing to support the men and women who work for the city, doing the work they are directed to do by department managers and then taking the guff from disgruntled citizens. The blame for our roads does not belong on the shoulders of the hourly wage earners. It rests squarely with some city councillors, with contractors hired at the cheapest price by the city without proper management oversight, and sadly, with what seems a lack of forward thinking and planning by professionals paid to provide this leadership.

A resident of the city who was away for the winter was shocked by the deterioration of the streets in the few months he was absent. A visitor to Moose Jaw tried to find a polite way to tell us that he enjoyed the city — except for the navigational challenges.

And that brings me to the High Street West situation. Except for fruit stand season, we don’t drive on that street very often. We made the voyage last week. What a bone-shaking experience that was. I can’t imagine what it would have been like if I had been driving the normal speed limit for city streets. It was shake, rattle and a bit of roll and white knuckles until reaching Ninth Avenue. No wonder businesses along that route are upset and crying foul.

Shortly after our High Street trip, we went to a rural auction sale where it was nec-

essary to park in a deep ditch. At first, I was worried about getting down there, or at worst, tipping the vehicle as I went down the side of the road. Then the question: how do I get out at the end of the day?

And then it hit me: if I drove High Street and survived, parking in a ditch, getting through a slough bottom and cow path and gaining purchase on the side of the grid road would be a piece of cake, a walk in the park, smooth sailing. We made it in and out without so much as the need to chase a hubcap.

It is unnecessary for me to ask the city to pay for my next wheel alignment — lucky me — I get it free of charge from my favourite garage.

In the meantime, we will find a back way into the fruit stand when it opens — but wouldn’t repairs be a pleasant surprise?

Sp r i n g c l e a n i n g o f f re eze r y ie lds u s ef u l h a r ve st

By Joyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express

While tulips are preparing for another blooming season, householders are also getting ready for the arrival of a new season by removing excess items from the downstairs deep freeze.

But don’t discard those containers of frozen carrots, beets and zucchini. There’s still an edible use for last fall’s harvest of vegetables.

This week’s recipes come from favourite family cookbooks.

• • • Beet Jellys frozen beets and water to make 3 cups juice 4 tsps. lemon juice 1 box powdered pectin 4 cups sugar 1 small pkg. grape Kool-Aid Place frozen beets in a large pot and cover with water.

Bring to a boil and boil until beets are thawed and heated through. Water should be a deep red.

Remove from heat and remove beets and set aside. Measure out 3 cups of the juice.

In a bowl combine sugar and Kool-Aid. In a large clean pot, combine the beet juice, Pectin and lemon juice. Bring to a full boil that cannot be stirred down. Add sugar and Kool-Aid mixture and bring back to a full boil. Stir continuously for at least two minutes or longer.

Quickly ladle jelly into 1/2 pint sterilized jars. Put on lids and seal. Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes.

Makes 5-6 pints.

• • • Pureed Carrot Cake 3 cups all-purpose flour 3 cups sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1 tbsp. baking soda 1 tbsp. cinnamon 1 1/2 cups canola oil 4 large eggs, lightly beaten 1 tbsp. vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut 1 1/3 cups pureed carrots, from frozen 3/4 cup crushed pineapple, drained Steam frozen carrots until softened and cooked through.

Drain and blot with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Puree in a blender or food processor until smooth.

Scoop out 1 1/3 cups and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 9-inch layer cake pans lined with waxed paper.

Sift dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add oil, eggs and vanilla and beat well. Fold in coconut, carrot puree and pineapple.

Pour batter into prepared pans and bake 30-40 minutes until edges pull away from sides of pan and toothpick comes out clean.

Cool on racks for 2-3 hours. Turn out onto a plate and use a pineapple jelly between the layers. Frost with a favourite frosting.

• • • Zucchini Chocolate Cake 1/2 cup soft butter 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1 3/4 cups white sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 cup sour milk 2 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp. baking soda 4 tbsps. cocoa powder 1/2 tsp. baking powder 2 1/2 cups shredded zucchini 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. cloves 1 cup chocolate chips Defrost frozen zucchini. Drain most of the excess moisture from the shredded zucchini.

Mix flour, spices, cocoa, baking soda and baking powder in a large bowl. Cream butter, vegetable oil, sugar, eggs and sour milk in another bowl then gradually combine dry and wet ingredients, blending carefully after each addition. Then mix in drained zucchini and blend well.

Pour batter into a greased 9x13 inch pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the batter. Do not mix. Bake at 350 degrees F for 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool and serve alone or with ice cream. The cake freezes well — if there is room in the freezer.

Basic Certification Workshop to be held in Moose Jaw for Mental Health First Aid Mental illness is one of the leading causes of disability and in Canada, one (1) person in five (5) will experience some problem with their mental health in the course of a year. Bridges Health will be hosting a Mental Health First Aid Basic Certification Workshop in Moose Jaw on May 8th and 9th at the Grant Hall Hotel. Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is the help provided to a person developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental health crisis.

This 12-hour (2-day) workshop, was developed by the Mental Health Commission of Canada and provides participants with the skills to recognize the signs and symp-

Oh Clark’s

70-photo collage captures Moose Jaw heritage buildings Sasha-Gay Lobban Moose Jaw Express

Bob Schultz.

What started off as a project for the Moose Jaw Camera Club turned out to be a permanent record of history, as member and local photographer Bob Schultz created a 70-photo collage of heritage buildings in Moose Jaw. Schultz who has an extensive background

in photography, mostly as a wildlife photographer, stepped out of his comfort zone and decided to capture the beautiful heritage buildings across the city. “It was a collage that I’ve been thinking about for some time. I lived in Moose Jaw most of my life so seeing the old buildings, they’re all different. I used to see them a lot and was always fascinated but never stopped to take notice,” he said. “I decided one day I would do a photograph to work on, so I started doing individual ones and it wasn’t really working so I decided to do a collage. One morning, I basically decided to do it all at the same time, so the lighting would be all the same. I took pictures for about two hours—up to 500 photos.”

From this, Schultz created a 30-photo collage but later created a larger collage which is now a permanent representation of heritage buildings in Moose Jaw. “From these photos, I created this 30-photo collage. Tourism Moose Jaw wanted to spruce their walls up a little bit so a lot of the members of the Moose Jaw Camera Club, of which I’m a part of, submitted photos for it.”

“Everybody really loves the collage because it is a permanent reminder of our heritage buildings, especially for the future. It’s basically a record of history. The Moose Jaw Camera Club is where it start-

Spring has Sprung at the Public Library with new mural

By Joan Ritchie

Moose Jaw Public Library is home to a new mural on the inside windows of the library to officially herald in spring. Trea Stafford, a student from Riverview School in Moose Jaw, working alongside mentor Mark Gilliland, were offered this project through Tina Dolcetti, Children’s librarian at the Moose Jaw Public Library.

“Trea did a concept drawing of what he wanted to do; something to welcome in spring,” said Gilliland.

Over a period of six weeks, Trea worked diligently on the project putting in about two hours at a time and put the finishing touches on the mural Wednesday afternoon, April 26th. Gilliland said that Trea did

98% of the work and the mural was all done by hand artist brush strokes, giving the art a level of depth and texture.

Dolcetti said that she needed someone who was able to do this large of a mural on the glass so the collaboration between the library, Mark Gilliland and Trea was a natural fit.

“This is just going to make a beautiful window and complement to the way the library is set up,” says Dolcetti. The mural is visible from the Children’s area, as well as from the foyer overlooking the Art Gallery store.

The Moose Jaw Chapter of A.C.T./ U.C.T. Council 1027 supported this project.

Heritage fair displays range from home on the range to residential schools

By Ron Walter Moose Jaw Express

Signing

Residential

The 60 heritage displays at the Moose Jaw Regional Heritage Fair weren’t the only activity at the Western Development Museum.

Students had a turn at making a “tall bot” out of straws, wooden sticks, duct tape, a battery and radio control motor.

A surprising number of teams built the robot within the 40-minute session.

Avery Surtees and Natasha Lynds of King George School took about 30 minutes to build a bot moving along the floor.

“We thought we were going to do a triangle,” said Surtees. “We actually put the sticks into the straws. It did not turn out so well.”

“We could have made it taller,” said Lynds. “I don’t know if it would be as stable.”

Instructor Jesse Searcy said the tall bot exercise is intended to show that innovation is easy.

Among the heritage displays, Grade 6 student Jorfa McCubbing of King George School did residential schools as her project.

“I did residential schools because I wanted to learn a lot more about them.”` She was shocked to learn there were 127 residential schools in Canada where Indigenous children were taken away from their families.

“Their children were buried at the school with unmarked graves, so you couldn’t even tell which child’s grave is yours.”

Ranching

“I think they were awful. I don’t know what the government was thinking. People didn’t understand another religion could be good.”

Grade 6 student Faith Mahata of Westmount School did a project on the national anthem. A musician who plays the flute, guitar, piano and violin, she likes the vocals of O Canada.

“Having a national anthem is a big part of Canada,” she said. “It acknowledges freedom and love to our country.”

Sign language was the project for Grade 8 student Grace Leaman of Palliser Heights.

“Sign language is something very important because a lot of people have to use it,” she said. She hopes to use it as a lawyer or translator.

Leaman taught herself the complex sign language with help from a teacher. The French Immersion student’s exhibit featured French, English and sign language “to show culture can be shown in many ways.”

Grade 8 student Emily McMillan of Aneroid chose horse racing in Canada for her project.

Brought here in 1767 from Europe “horse racing was a show of dominance over others,” she said. “The rich people did it to show they have more money, cooler stuff.”

A rider herself with a Morgan/Percheron cross mount and some quarter horses, McMillan likes to race with friends.

Horse racing is important as a sport to Canada, she said, and has evolved with better race tracks, lighter horse shoes, lighter saddles and lighter jockeys.

She enjoyed this, her first regional heritage fair. “I get to

Anthem talk to lots of people. Usually I’m pretty shy. This brings me out of my bubble.”

Owen Ross, Grade 6 of Kincaid, did cattle because he

wants to be a rancher like his father. But he won’t be a cowboy. “We use quads not horses” to handle cattle.

Ten winners from this fair will go to the provincials in Regina.

National Day of Mourning remembers workers lost Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Deidre Wilson with the Five Hills Health Region lays a wreath at the memorial at the Moose Jaw Union Centre as Stacey Landin, president of CUPE Local 9, looks on during the National Day of Mourning Ceremony.

A total of 27 people in Saskatchewan were Day of Mourning in honour of those died killed on the job or died from illnesses merely because they were at work. their job was responsible for in 2017.

“It’s a sad day, but it’s a day of hope for That’s 27 too many, says Stacey Landin, us,” Landin said. “The National Day of president of CUPE Local 9. And to bring Mourning is something that’s been recogawareness to that number, local unions and nized for three decades now; every year workers gathered at the Moose Jaw Union we gather on April 28 and try to bring toCentre on Apr. 28 for the annual National gether folks representing their unions, but

also folks who aren’t with unions but are workers alike.

“We try to raise the bar for folks and honour workers regardless of their affiliation or non-affiliation and it’s a day where we mourn for the dead and fight for the living because it’s in recognition of people who have lost their lives due to work or injury or a horrific event.

The Day of Mourning also includes those who didn’t directly lose their life on the job – the list of 27 included several firefighters who died from cancers caused by their work, as well as many older individuals who died from asbestosis from working with and in buildings contaminated with the dangerous mineral.

The event also included a focus on prevention, with workplace harassment and injury one of the major areas discussed this year.

“It’s a big deal and it’s stuff people often don’t talk about, like healthcare workers who are in pretty isolated positions and could be in the way of some harm,” Landin said. “Then there’s just the bullying and harassment that happens among employees... we need to be safe, not just

from physical injury but emotional injury as well.”

The Day of Mourning ceremony featured workers, representatives and family laying wreathes at the memorial in honour of those who have fallen or were affected.

“We’re supposed to work to live, not live to work and so everybody should expect to go home safely from their shift every day,” Landin said. “I think I’ve said that for countless years, but it’s something that comes as an automatic shock to people, because there are those jobs that are extremely treacherous jobs but also those in office where you wouldn’t expect harm to come their way, but it can happen.

“So it’s important to always be vigilant and aware of your surroundings and take the proper precautions.”

The CUPE began to honour Worker’s Memorial Day in 1984 and on Apr. 28, 1985, the Canadian Labour Congress officially declared that day be an annual day of national remembrance. The 2018 ceremony marked the 33rd year.

TRADING THOUGHTS

Just what was discussed at secret city council budget meeting?

Elected councils in small cities and towns are the closest form of government to the voters and taxpayers.

Being so close to the grass roots raises expectations among voters; expectations that local governments do not always meet.

Conducting business and making decisions in pubby Ron Walter lic, as much as humanly possible, is one of those expectations.

Moose Jaw City Council, on the surface, conducts business in public with cable TV cameras recording regular meetings and even streams meetings live online with an archive of those meetings.

For this, past councils must get high marks.

Important council discussions do get done in secret. Take the meeting where council hammered out that last big tax increase. Coun. Chris Warren, usually a quite sensible member, justified a secret meeting telling the Regina Leader-Post that some action items under discussion might not happen.

He was telegraphing us a message: voters are too dumb to understand the difference between a proposed change and an actual change.

It would be interesting for future memory to know what was discussed at this secret meeting, how and why council arrived at the what was a 4.5 per cent tax increase that later became seven per cent.

What cost reduction measures, if any, were discussed?

Was elimination of the bus service and the $1 million sub-

sidy on the table? Was a $500 per property base tax on the table? Was there a plan to convert Mosaic place arena into a pigeon loft with profitable pigeon pot pies made in the curling rink?

The voters don’t know. We do know we have to cough up a lot more cash for property taxes, water, sewer, garbage collection. Did I forget one of these nickel and dime increases?

Too much of council discussion is done away from the camera and away from the visiting public.

Council has two forms of meeting — the regular meeting that is televised and streamed online and the other meeting called the executive committee.

Executive committee meetings are open to the public in name, but in practice may as well be closed. These “public” meetings are held in a small chamber away from the council gallery.

Seating is cramped with half a dozen or so spare chairs once council and staff are in the room. Council used to hold executive committee meetings in the gallery and welcomed any visitors to attend.

Under Mayor Ray Boughen the executive committee meetings were shifted to the small room for “more informal” discussion. Informal was a code term for away from the public eye.

Council must approve the executive committee actions at the regular meetings to meet the letter of the law but that doesn’t meet the spirit of openness and transparency each council member campaigned on two years ago.

This year the city committee meetings — parks and recreation, heritage, murals, traffic, to name a few, are now being dealt with by council in the barely pubic executive committee meetings.

Every year, council gets insufficient nominations for these committees. How are people supposed to be in-

formed and get interested in the committees when their actions aren’t really public?

A more recent time change accents council’s disguised contempt for voter interest.

Years ago when meeting time was 7 p.m, everyone had an opportunity to have a meal and attend council. The change to 6:30 p.m. left less time but was acceptable.

The current 5:30 time means working people have to rush from work, if they can get away. Nor is that time conducive to watching council live on TV. Few voters attend council. City procedures seem aimed to ensure even fewer will attend.

That is a shame. Voter participation at the grass roots level is crucial to a healthy democratic system.

More than 300 dancers converge on Mosaic Place for event as part of

30 McKenzie Lane 306-693-3362 Miyo Wahkotowin Pow Wow 2018 306.631.3037

The colours, the sounds, the performances... all were a sight to see and amazing to hear during the Miyo Wahkotowin Pow Wow at Mosaic Place on Friday evening.

More than 300 dancers and drummers took part in the event as part of the Atamiskakewak Gathering which ran thoughout the week at a wide variety of venues throughout Moose Jaw. Pow wow organizer Jeff Cappo of Muscowpetung First Nation said choosing the name of the show fit in with the theme of the entire week of the Gathering. “When they asked us to name the pow wow I decided to name it Miyo Wahkotowin, which means good relationships, which is what I think this whole gathering was about,� Cappo said. “Bringing together

While the event was actually fairly small compared to many pow wows, the scope of the Gathering and overall size of the event made things that much more prestigious. “We’ve had a lot of pow wows in Moose Jaw in the past, but for an event of this scale, to bring this many people together like this for something of this calibre is a great thing,� Cappo said. “We have some top dancers here and we’re glad they’re here to share.�

The Miyo Wahkotowin pow wow took the unique approach of having representatives of various sponsors judging the event, including a handful of non-indigenous onlookers. “That’s different, but what we told them to look for

Categories ranged from Tiny Tots to Golden Age, with divisions including Traditional, Grass, Chicken and Fancy costumes. First place prizes ranged from $300 to $100. “The most important thing is that everyone has fun, and I think everyone will have a great time,� Cappo said.

Atamiskākēwak National Gathering 2018

Saskatchewan Lt. Governor says National Gathering opens opportunities for learning & dialogue Sasha-Gay Lobban The Moose Jaw Express

Honorable W. Thomas Molloy.

Several dignitaries who have made their way to the Friendly City for the mass staging of Atamiskākēwak—National Gathering 2018, applauded the event as they boasted about the opportunities it has created for further dialogue in honoring reconciliation and the 94 Calls to Action.

Speaking at the official opening ceremony, the Honorable W. Thomas Molloy, Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, says the event has created a platform for further learning and understanding as the nation moves forward in Truth and Reconciliation. “It is an honor to join everyone for this exciting national conference. I love the meaning of the Cree word chosen for the naming of the gathering, Atamiskākēwak— shaking hands with each other in greetings. I love the idea of reaching out in friendship,” he said. “I was fortunate to be involved in negotiating Nunavut land claim agreement. Nunavut of course is the whole land of the Inuit. It was also a great honor for me to be part of negotiating in British Columbia. It took years to complete these agreements and even though the negotiations felt like they took a very long time, when agreements were signed, that was really just the beginning of the work for the communities involved who had a great deal of work ahead of them in implementing the treaties. In some ways,

this is similar to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.”

He commended the conference saying that Atamiskākēwak is a positive step in the right direction for not only the province but the rest of Canada.

“The hearings, as you know, was a painful experience for the courageous residential schools’ survivors who shared their stories; and it was as painful for the witnesses and for our country. That was a necessary journey and though it may have brought some closure in many ways, the Commission marked a beginning and now the work begins,” he said. “The work of learning, understanding, appreciating and more importantly, moving forward. This conference is a wonderful way for us to unite. This has been a huge undertaking and I want to express my gratitude to the chairs of the event, sponsors, organizing team as well as the presenters. This gives us a valuable opportunity for education and dialogue and providing practical and positive ways to move forward. As we officially open this National Gathering, we celebrate how far we’ve come as well as our remarkable potential to create a province where everyone is valued and where we reach out and hold hands in friendship.”

Atamiskakewak Gathering exceeds expectations When the concept of the first-ever Atamiskakewak National Gathering was first revealed, it seemed like an idea almost too good to be true.

Could an event drawing thousands upon thousands of people from throughout the world with the goal of education toward the 94 Calls to Action for Truth and Reconciliation actually be held in Moose Jaw, on Treaty 4 land?

Not only did organizers Kallie Wood and Chris McKee pull it off, they helped turn it into a weeklong celebration of First Nations and Metis culture in the city and surrounding area, resulting in an incredible event that went well beyond its initial scope.

“It was phenomenal,” said Wood, who works alongside McKee with Converging Pathways Consulting.

“It actually far exceeded our expectations, we had close to 9,000 youth go through our city and 4,500 to 5,000 guests just coming in and out from around the globe. It was very impactful, our feedback is full, and it’s been really good. It quickened a lot of hearts so we are very happy with the week.”

The Gathering ended up featuring everything from indigenous issues speakers to tipi demonstrations and tours to artizan fairs, a competitive pow wow and even a lacrosse tournament. That made for plenty to do for anyone who hit the city during the event’s six days.

Then there was the major focus for the Gathering – the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s 94 Calls to Action, which received a special focus throughout the week.

“If we had one conversation, built one relationship or touched one heart, we did our job,” McKee said.

“We had a conversation with a lady before the event had even started thanking us for bringing the event here. And then having a chance to reach all the youth this week and seeing so many of them, there’s nothing better.”

For Star Blanket Cree Nation elder and former National Assembly chief Noel Starblanket – one of the featured guests who took part in events throughout the Gathering – things couldn’t have been more impressive.

Randy Palmer The Moose Jaw Express

Starblanket Cree Nation elder and former National Assembly chief Noel Starblanket speaks prior to delivering the closing prayer during the going home ceremony for the Atamiskakewak Gathering.

“I thoroughly enjoyed myself,” Starblanket said during a break in the going home ceremony. “This is one of the greatest things to ever happen in Moose Jaw, for the city and for the surrounding area, everybody. It was a boon to the city and I’m really pleased for everybody. In my opinion the people here really lived up to their name, the Friendly City. I really found that to be so true here, more so than any other place I’ve visited. People are really wonderful here.”

Starblanket was one of many statesmen and women who carried a consistent message when it came to the 94 Calls to Action: stop talking and get doing.

“That’s what I constantly admonish people to do, stop talking about it and get to work, pick one of the those calls to action and work with it,” Starblanket said.

“There are Catholic priests and bishops coming to a sundance. That’s reconciliation. There are white teachers in Regina teaching Cree. That’s reconcilia-

tion. That’s what needs to be done.

“I’m seeing that happen and seeing people doing what needs to be done... it’s all about going forward and keep moving forward, an all these people here have a chance to do that. This will multiply and make changes to relationship and this is the beginning here.”

One of the main secondary accomplishments of the week was the future – and how there will almost certainly be another Gathering in the coming year.

“I don’t think we’ll be doing it on a yearly basis, you don’t want to overdo it, but we’ll definitely be debriefing with the team and see what the future holds,” McKee said.

“It’s been really great and we’ll see what happens,” added Wood. “We have have a lot of cities bidding on the next one already, so we’ll see what happens.”

Atamiskākēwak National Gathering 2018

Atamiskākēwak National Gathering 2018: speakers commend historic event Sasha-Gay Lobban THE MOOSE JAW EXPRESS

Grand entry procession as the conference officially opens.

Things got off to a vibrant start at the first ever, Atamiskākēwak National Gathering 2018, as it kicked off with its official opening ceremony at the Heritage Inn on Monday, April 23.

The week-long celebration brought together persons from across the world to participate in the very first event of its kind, as people from all nations were welcomed to the Friendly City.

The opening ceremony got underway with a grand entry procession by the flag party to songs and the beats of drums as the audience stood proudly to witness history, taking place right here in our city. Announcement of flag carriers, dignitaries and special guests were made as the victory song was belted out to drums and dance, followed by a prayer by Elder Noel Starblanket.

Then, it was off to the presentations by special guests who echoed similar sentiments about the need to unite in moving forward in truth and reconciliation and the 94 Calls to Action.

They also applauded the organizers of the event, Chris

McKee and Kallie Wood, of Converging Pathways for breaking grounds for such a historical move in Canada.

Chief Lynn Acoose, Sakimay First Nation and Treaty 4 spokesperson, lauded the event as a step in the right direction for “all treaty people.” She noted that to move ahead with reconciliation, everyone must first understand the treaties and intent of the 94 Calls to Action. She says this event provides a channel to teach and learn. “I think that this event will pave the way as we move forward in the spirit of reconciliation. I know that this event is about honoring and finding ways to work together to implement the 94 Calls to Action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Some of the recommendations within those 94 Calls to Action—one of them being the calls on Canada to honor the treaties. I’ve been spending a long time talking about treaties because I always say that I’m not a treaty expert but enquirer, spending my time thinking, talking and debating treaties with other people.”

Chief Acoose says as the nation moves forward with reconciliation, there is a need to fully understand treaties.

It was packed room as officials welcomed Atamiskākēwak.

“As we move forward, my main area of concern is for everyone to understand the spirit and intent of what Treaty 4 means. For instance, in exchange for sharing this land, we were guaranteed an education. At the time, when we entered into Treaty, there was no public education system of education established in Saskatchewan. We took it to mean that we were guaranteed to have a higher standard of education than the main stream. The promise as it existed at that time was a higher standard,” she said. “The other thing that I always talk about is the economic development clauses in our treaties. At the time, the crown had intended to open up agriculture in our land and so we were promised certain agricultural benefits. This was a guarantee that we would always be able and have the tools to enter into the modern economy. We were also guaranteed, our hunting, fishing and trapping rights under treaty. Today, the economy is much different, and we can no longer sustain ourselves through hunting fishing and trapping. But that promise of treaty also guarantees that we can continue to pursue sovereign based livelihood pursuits such as trade and growing and producing and manufacturing, without interference from outside governments.”

She added that everyone needs to work together to make sure that treaties as well as the 94 Calls to Action are honored. “We need to work together. We need to have discussions about how we’re going to honor the spirit and intent of treaties—not just the written provisions of treaty but the spirit and intent of such treaties. We need to think about those concepts because we’re all treaty people; we all benefit from the resources and the beauty of our territory. It is up to us to honor the promises that were made under treaty. Also, at the time of treaty, we lost a great deal of diversity and worldview when we lost the linguistic diversity that existed at the time of treaty. So, we should work together to bring back linguistic diversity in our lives,” she told the audience.

Chief Lynn Acoose addresses the audience.

Volume of collectibles at district farm auction surprises potential bidders

By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express

Old saddle

Wheel

Horse art

The word overwhelming was used several times to describe the collections on sale at the Westermann-Zelinsky farm auction near Parkbeg.

Thousands of square feet in the shop, several buildings and a trailer displayed collectibles, with a large amount and variety of furniture, a doll collection and everything else from fine china to toys.

A Moose Jaw collector was having a field day rummaging through boxes and boxes of stuff. “There’s probably one good thing in every box,” he said. “How do you remember this afternoon which box you looked at?”

Still, he was wishing he had brought a bigger truck.

Johnstone Auctions ran two sales rings well into the day.

Rudy Westermann, who bought the farm over 45 years ago, and Pauline Zelinsky, who became his partner about 20 years ago, have sold the place to retire.

Their retirement leaves one less family in this sparsely-populated district.

The house, with a well-manicured lawn featuring a riprapped creek that separates the front yard from the rest of the farm yard, is expected to be unoccupied.

“That’s a shame,” said one bidder. A neighbour said she wishes she had taken a photo of the yard when it was in bloom last year.

The sale started with several trailers of tools and assorted parts, moving to lines of machinery, grain bins and eight old cars and trucks, dating from the 1930s to the 1950s.

The concession, operated by Bonnie (Barnett) Club, included a wide assortment of pies.

Dance Carnival for the love of dance Joan Ritchie

In April, over 800 dancers from 14 different studios across the province competed in Moose Jaw’s 34th Invitational Dance Carnival. The event is hosted annually by Barb Jackman of Dance Images by BJ and Denise Maisonneuve of Denee’s School of Dance. It’s a competition of camaraderie as dancers, families, teachers and studio owners in Saskatchewan rub shoulders year

after year. Dancers as young as four years to twenty years perform for “the love of dance”, accolades and awards. It’s not just dancing. Each choreography has a story behind it bringing the audience to tears and laughter. “As the dancers get older, they try and emote a feeling,” said Jackman. “We have quite an amazing group that shows so much passion.

“The kids train for seven years, continually doing exams and when competition time comes around, it is sort of time to showoff and shine.”

Dance Images with BJ has an incredible rapport with their dancers. The club has the privilege of seeing dancers mature in skill and character, year after year. “Kids just develop their love for dance and with their parent’s encouragement and commitment, many continue on through the years,” said Jackman. It’s no small investment into their lives, as seen by the commitment of Barb Jackman and her team of teachers. After 34 years, she says she still loves what she is doing. There’s a sense of pride in seeing kids develop. “The sense of commitment they have, belonging and working together as a team, we are trying to create good people with good character.”

This year’s adjudicators were Canadian Dancers Sarah Dolan and Joey Matt, both of whom worked extensively with So You Think You Can Dance in various countries and choreographed and/or toured with a variety of well known musicians and figure skaters.

The Moose Jaw Festival of Dance ‘Dance Inspirations 2018’ May 2-6 The Moose Jaw Festival of Dance (MJFD) will be holding ‘Dance Inspirations 2018’ from Wednesday May 2nd to Sunday May 6th at A.E Peacock Collegiate, 145 Ross St E. This annual competition brings in dancers from all over the western provinces to have fun, friendly competition and an opportunity to receive valuable learning experiences. Performers of all ages and levels are able to display their talents and grow in self-confidence and skill. The MJFD wants to “celebrate all of the dancers’ achievements and inspire young dancers to realize their full potential.”

The Dance Challenge finale of Dance Inspirations showcases group performances of those with the highest adjudicated marks, as they compete for scholarships.

Adjudicators this year include Megan Trainer, Chris Hale and Andrea Palmer, all with a worldclass resume of experience in dance and choreography.

Charity event raises $28,000 for Thomas family, Humboldt Broncos Memorial Fund Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Former Moose Jaw Generals Chance Petruic (left) and Ahmed Ally – two former players who spearheaded the formation of the game – take the ceremonial face-off with Warriors and Legends Hall of Famer Scott Thomas, the father of former Generals forward Evan Thomas, one of the players killed in the Humboldt Broncos tragedy. Photo courtesy Andra Arnye

It didn’t take long for the Moose Jaw Generals to get things rolling once Chance Petruic and Ahmed Ally made their incredible suggestion.

Contacting Generals head coach Ray Wareham, the the two former players for the Sask. Midget AAA squad proposed the idea of holding a special benefit game for Evan Thomas, the former Generals forward who was killed in the Humboldt Broncos tragedy.

A handful of meetings, texts and phone calls later, and more than 40 former players from the Generals had signed on alongside many others from the SJHL and WHL who

also wanted to be part of the game. The ice at Mosaic Place was booked and in only five days, it was showtime.

And so the Moose Jaw Generals Benefit Game in the Memory of Evan Thomas was born.

More than 1,700 fans filled the stands as two teams – all wearing 23 with a ‘Thomas’ nameplate in Broncos green and gold – took the ice on squads captained by Petruic and Ally on Apr. 19. For the record, Team Petruic took an 8-3 win, but the score wasn’t the number that mattered.

No, $28,000 was the real set of eye-opening digits. As in the amount of money raised that will be split between the Jordan Thomas Education Fund and the Humboldt Broncos Memorial Fund.

“It was pretty emotional but it was a good night, there was a good crowd and lots of support, and the guys who participated in the game seemed to have some fun with it,” Wareham said. “It ended up being a pretty good night for the Thomas family and the Broncos, so it was really good.”

Evan’s father Scott Thomas is a former Moose Jaw Warrior standout who is enshrined on the team’s Wall of Fame in Mosaic Place. He’s been as open and forthcoming as possible throughout the horrible tragedy and that continued that night as he dropped the puck for the contest.

“It’s kind of touched everybody, that accident, and with the ties to the community that the family had, with Scott being a former Warrior on the Wall of Fame and Evan playing here for two years and Scott’s wife being here from Moose Jaw... it was nice to see the community come out and support it,” Wareham said.

The event also saw Compass Group make a $25,000 donation to STARS Saskatchewan in support of the air ambulance program, which saw heavy work the night of the accident.

Players wore jerseys with number 23 and Thomas’ nameplate in Broncos green and gold. Photo courtesy Andra Arnyek

Through it all, Wareham was quick to give credit where credit was due – to two of his former players looking to honour their former teammate.

“I have to give a lot of credit to Chance Petruic and Ahmed Ally, they were behind it all and it ended being a great night,” Wareham said. “They should be proud of themselves, it says a lot about the kind of young men that they are to do what they did.”

Few surprises in badminton city final It turns out that a season of success and a past history of winning does mean something when it comes to the Moose Jaw high school senior badminton championships.

A sport that has seen more than it's share of surprises in the city tournament in the past went pretty much according to expectation during the title games on Apr. 24, as players who had dominated throughout the three league nights or had won the whole thing in the past were once again at the top of the standings.

Western Development Museum welcomes Atamiskâkêwak National Gathering It was an enriching time at the Western Development Museum as it partnered with the Atamiskâkâwak National Gathering to engage visitors for an indigenous learning experience. The Museum grounds was lined with Takoza Tipis as up to 2,000 students and visitors got to participate in Takoza Tipi Camp Tours and Teachings; Metis Local 160 Tipi Display and RCMP Tipi Display. The Museum opened its doors/grounds from 9am to 9pm to host these week-long displays. Visitors and students alike got an opportunity to sit in the Tipis, listen stories and learn more about history and culture as well as participate in some of the activities. The Express visited the Museum to get a glimpse of the set-up. See photos.

A great turnout of administrators with their peers.

Sometimes It’s Better to be Abnormal

by Dr. Steven Heidinger, Moose Jaw Chiropractor

I’m not terribly happy with being in my 50’s lately. In the last few weeks I have been dealing with an “eye issue”, that although is not a dangerous condition, it has affected my eyesight, and probably will for the next few months. I have been assured by my optometrist and ophthalmologist that there will be no long-term problems.

The one and only upsetting comment from both of these professionals was that my condition was “not abnormal for someone your age.”

Boom. There’s the phrase that I fear will be a common

went back to work refreshed to continue the tasks of the day.

theme going forward into the second half of my life. “Not abnormal for someone your age.”

What else am I to expect in my next decade of life that may be both unexpected, unpleasant yet not out of the ordinary? I have no desire to get into anything that is gross, unsavoury or embarrassing, but are there some things that are common with aging that are preventable or at least “delay-able”?

Almost every male over 50 in my circle of friends and family has that “spare tire”, that extra 10 to 20 pounds that collects around the waist. It’s also not uncommon for men to start having issues with their prostate in their 50’s.

The 50’s also seems to be the decade of hair growing in places where it never grew before!

While the 50’s may be the decade when changes occur that are inevitable and not necessarily life-altering, it is the decade when many more serious health conditions start showing up that are the result of how you’ve treated yourself in the first 5 decades of life. Diabetes, heart dis-

ease and cancer rates start increasing dramatically in this decade as compared to the 40’s and earlier.

“Do young things.” This is what I tell myself when I get a bit down about the years going by so fast. If the only activity you get is walking the dog or “walking off” that dessert, you probably aren’t exercising enough. Get to the gym and start working out with more vigour. I meet many youthful retirees at the gym who don’t seem to be slowing down with their exercise regimes.

Many health issues in the elderly can be indirectly related to isolation and loneliness. Rekindling old friendships, forcing ones-self to be around others more often and making an effort to socialize more regular go a long way in slowing down the aging process.

If you are sick and tired of being told that you are having issues “normal for your age”, maybe stop acting the age you are and start behaving again like the younger you.

“Moose Jaw Art Guild Presents…” exhibit to open at MJ Cultural Center Sasha-Gay Lobban

YOUR NEW ONE-STOP-SHOP FOR ALL YOUR BBQ NEEDS

STOP IN TODAY TO CHECK OUT OUR NEW BBQ LINES

$893.00

Karen Walpole The Moose Jaw Art Guild is inviting the community to an exciting art exhibition at the Moose Jaw Cultural Center, to be open on Sunday, May 6th.

The exhibition, titled, “Moose Jaw Art Guild Presents…” will officially open on May 6 with a reception from 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The exhibit will run until June 27th.

At the Opening Reception, there will be tables set up for smaller pieces of art work which are available for sale that day.

President of the Art Guild, Karen Walpole says the Guild is currently doing more educational programming and this exhibit will help to channel that. “There was an unanimous decision at our January AGM to divide up our business meetings and do more Program/Educational meetings. In early April, Beth Crabb led us in a Mini Basket Weaving project. We also exchanged our artwork at Tourism Moose Jaw and created a wonderful Spring Exhibit. Another exhibit which deserves special note is at the Uptown Café in their back room. We’re also pleased to be able to have the opportunity to display our work at the Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate Office,” she said.

“Now, we will be showcasing this exhibit at the Cultural Center which will be another great opportunity to show the community what we do. We kept the exhibit very simple because we all wanted to do the best we could and make a really good display to showcase. There will be about 30 paintings going up for the show.

One of our members will also be doing a painting demo, as well for the reception,” Walpole said. “Our Guild members are very excited and supportive of our new direction and that we’re putting the focus back on the members’ interests.”

The Art Guild has a busy calendar this year. Approximately six Art Guild members are taking part in the Artist Trading Cards Anniversary Reception on April 28 at 2:00pm at the McKenzie Art Gallery in Regina. The Art Guild’s work will be on display there until the end of August.

Last year, the Moose Jaw Art Guild celebrated its 100th year in existence. The Art Guild was formalized in 1949, but its roots go back to 1929 to the Moose Jaw Branch of the Women’s Art Association of Saskatchewan, a precursor to the guild.

Successful in promoting the artwork of local artists in its annual exhibitions, the Moose Jaw Women’s Art Association was also involved in offering local art classes. It was from one of these classes in 1949 that ten Moose Jaw women moved to form a new group, the Moose Jaw Fine Art Guild. Its goals, which are still ideals of the guild today, involve encouraging awareness and appreciation of art, bringing artists together, and working with other groups to increase these opportunities.

The DFFH is a non-profit organization led by a diverse, inclusive, competency-based Board. Relying on a contemporary governance model the Board provides stewardship and strategic direction for the organization while providing oversight to a professional, high performance administration.

Finance Minister Donna Harpauer shares highpoints on 2018 Sask. Budget Joan Ritchie

The big news is that the Saskatchewan Government is working hard to keep the economy strong. With the release of the 2018-19 Budget, the government has handed down their mandate to keep the plan on track by “controlling spending, delivering high quality services, by investing in infrastructure and business, with the hope to return to a balanced budget by 2019-20.

During a Chamber of Commerce hosted business luncheon, Saskatchewan Finance Minister Donna Harpauer was in Moose Jaw this past week to reiterate on what most people already know, with the release of the 201819 Provincial Budget. It seems in public converse; a large majority of the province is ok with the budget as it stands in moving forward. Time will tell.

Harpauer said the largest investments were being made to health care, education and social services. Some of the highlights: In this budget, there is “no increases to tax rates.� This means that the PST, all provincial tax rates, income tax and property tax will remain the same. The PST exemp-

Michele Marie Gamble of Coaldale, beloved companion of Monty Chow, passed away suddenly on Thursday, April 12, 2018 in the Bahamas, at the age of 52 years. Michele was born and raised in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. She attended Lindale Elementary and Albert E. Peacock High School. She was very personable, witty and had a big heart. She lived and loved life to the fullest and was very proud to be called Grandma. Michele is forever loved and will be missed by all that knew her. Besides her loving companion of 30 years, Monty Chow, Michele is survived by her mother Lorraine Gamble (Larry Sommerfeld) of Moose Jaw; her daughter Tiffany Gamble (Dustin Bolig) of Taber; son Tyson Chow of Coaldale; and grandson Hudson Bolig; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and their families. Michele was predeceased by her father, Dale Gamble. A Memorial Service will be held at a later date in Moose Jaw, SK. Flowers are gratefully declined. For those who wish, memorial donations maybe made to the charity of your choice.

tion for used light vehicles has been removed and is in line with every other jurisdiction in Canada that has a sales tax and only paid on the difference in price between the trade-in and the purchased vehicle. “Saskatchewan is open for business,� said Harpauer. “This budget does not include a carbon tax!�

A deficit of $365 million is projected for 2018-19. The expected balanced budget for 2019-20 projects a modest surplus of $6.0 million. Higher surpluses of $108 million and $212 million respectively are forecast for 2020-21 and 2021-22.

A record $5.77 billion will be invested to improve health care in Saskatchewan, up nearly 2.5 per cent from the previous year.

An increase in education funding by $30 million will allow school divisions to continue to support students in the classroom by maintaining or hiring up to 400 teachers and other in-school professionals. 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.

Social services and assistance budget will increase by $25 million to a record $1.38 billion. More than $10 million of this year’s funding increase is allotted 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.

Of notable mention, Minister Harpauer lauded the fact that the government will no longer be reliant on resource revenues. Non-renewable resource revenue now accounts for just 10 per cent of the province’s total revenue, down from a high of 32 per cent in 2008-09. “This budget sets the stage for a new decade of growth by keeping Saskatchewan’s finances and our economy on track,� Harpauer said. “The economy is what will get people back to work. “We are making a difference. Balanced actions will allow us to have stability in the province.�

You know the drill... As a husband or wife, parent, employee or otherwise, I’m sure there has been a time or two when you’ve pretended to not hear what someone else is saying. I tend to do this with Lil Sweet Pea at times when she begs for more pets or 18” dolls or sewing supplies. There are times when I just don’t want to get into the long conversation of her next project or idea. You too? I tend to think in most relationships we can all admit to this. Most of us know the word for that... it is called selective hearing. According to the Urban Dictionary, selective hearing is when “one possesses this quality when they hear only what they would like to hear.”

Selective hearing gives tendency to turning a ‘deaf ear’ to anything we’d rather not hear. Generally, in a marriage it is disrespectful and shows lack of value for the one speaking when it is important to our significant other. On the other hand, it is good to let negative things go “like water off a duck’s back.” It is essential we use kindness as the filter to determine whether we should actually “listen” or not.

Listening is a skill. It can be learned by anyone. It is the act of being quiet (shutting one’s mouth) and opening both ears to actually hear not only the words but the heart behind it. If we are willing to listen, we show true humility and exemplify a servant heart as we put others ahead of our own opinions and ideas.

When it comes to hearing God’s voice, we tend to do the same thing. We only want God to speak when we think we need Him to speak. We pray and bring countless lists and requests before Him; or even worse, we don’t even talk to Him and we don’t think He talks to us. It is a grave mistake we make and a deception that we believe to think God doesn’t talk to us. In fact, He is ALWAYS talking... we just aren’t listening! We’ve developed selective hearing and have chosen to only hear what we want to hear or don’t want to listen at all. The sad thing is that He is constantly telling us things that will benefit us in every way in our lives. 2 Peter 1:3 says “...His divine power has given to us all things which relate to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him...” This verse promises that He has given us everything we need for life (and godliness) through the KNOWLEDGE of Him. The key word here is “knowledge.” We must KNOW the truths in His Word. One of the truths of His Word is that He is always speaking to us... God speaks to everyone in MANY ways such as through impressions, with a still, small voice, in visions & dreams, with peace, a magnetic pull (or being drawn to someone or something), through His Word, a red light/green light (or a “check” or a “go ahead” feeling in our spirit), in pictures or mini movies in our mind as well as angelic visitations.

God wants our attention. He is talking to us, but are we listening? Are we willing to listen? If we would choose to “be still” and begin to tune in, we would see and hear that He is speaking all the time. The key is to learn to recognize when and how He speaks and that the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth! Listen in.

He is speaking!

Joan Ritchie EDITOR

EDITOR

I am writing with respect to the Thoughts of Ron Walter published in the Moose Jaw Express April 25th not only concerning violations of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but concerning all Workers being denied with the basic right to a fair and impartial hearing in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice when Nurses, like all other Canadian Workers, are punished due to the actions of Health Regions.

The basic right to access to justice in a Constitutional-based democracy must first acknowledge the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has become nothing more than a Political and Judicial Joke based upon the fact, Canada’s Courts have become no different than the Kangaroo Courts in the United States of America’s Un-Constitutional Adversarial system of fabricated Justice which only benefit the rich and governments who can afford to mislead the Courts.

When nurses are subjected to cruel and unusual treatment like all other Canadian Workers and Patients, if health care is alleged to be an essential public service in compliance with the Charter, then the right to question Health Care is borne out of Section 36 (1) (c) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and has nothing to do with the basic right to freedom of expression under Section 2 of the Charter verifying Justice Curry is just another Judicial quack who has become nothing more than a Judicial Robot and Political Puppet.

To understand the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms has nothing to do with the Jurisdiction of SRNA being allowed to violate the rights and freedoms of Nurses, the Charter proclaims that only governments shall be protected and guaranteed with the basic right to violate the rights and freedoms of Canadian Workers with the Consent of the Parliament of Canada and of the Legislatures within each Province and Territory as is expressly declared in Sections 31, 32, 33 and 52 of the Charter establishing that both the Legislative assembly of Saskatchewan the government of Saskatchewan have equal blame not only when denying Nurses with the basic right to question Working Conditions, but when Nurses are denied with the right to question the Care and Treatment of Patients in compliance with Section 36 (1) (c) of the Charter clearly displaying the Health Care as an essential service has become a train wreck within each Province and Territory in violation of Section 36 (1) (c) of the Charter.

At this point, Anyone as is specified within Section 24 (1) of the Charter cannot blame the Courts for becoming Political Puppets and Judicial Robots; Canadians Must blame all Political Parties when both governments and the legislatures allow so-called Professional Associations to violate the Charter rights and freedoms of workers under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms when health care as an essential public service is transferred to the Private Sector without any Constitutional Rights, Freedoms, Protections and Guarantees.

SPRING POTHOLE PACKAGE

CORNER

Stick To It

by Dale “bushy” Bush

This is the time of year when hockey is over for most players and fans, unless you are following the play-offs.

Sadly, a recent tragedy has left a hole in my hockey heart the size of a gaping five-hole. The accident that claimed 16 lives and changed many more, has united an entire nation in our grief and in our love for a game that is as much a part of our national identity as the maple leaf. Canada and many other citizens of the world have responded with an amazing amount of support with millions of dollars raised and some simple but stunning tributes to the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team.

There are always many ways to show support such as T-shirts, hats, doughnuts, pins and ribbons. Sometimes the caring begins with the simplest of ideas.

The interwwweb may have some drawbacks but when social media can start a tsunami of a landslide the results can be truly inspiring.

Take for instance the suggestion by some hockey moms, that a day be dedicated to all hockey players including the Broncos suddenly became “Jersey Thursday”. I cannot tell you how many time’s a tear began to appear in my eye when I saw so many jerseys being worn by folks you would not think even had a sports jersey. That is/ was a fantastic idea and was beautifully organized by moms who care. Dare I say an annual day of honour? I chose to wear a jersey from an Old Timers club I played on for 25 years to not only honour the Broncos but some of my hockey “brothers” who have gone on ahead to scrape and flood the ice for shinny.

Another tear producing (for me) tribute was the “Sticks Out for Humboldt” campaign that again was started on the interwwweb.

The tribute was to leave a hockey stick on your porch or by the front door so “the boys” could play

road hockey whenever they wanted to. Sigh...that got to me and I could not get some sticks out fast enough with my collection of old clubs supplying the tribute. Two by the front door, one by the back door, two by the patio door and two by our little library at the end of our driveway. Not only that but I have always carried a hockey stick in the box of my pickup truck in case a game breaks out somewhere. Now there are two sticks in my truck…so I can start the game!

The stick campaign reminded me of an idea I had a few years ago to declare July 1st, Canada Day, National Road Hockey Day. Because so many new Canadians receive their citizenship that day, why not make it an option to play road hockey. Although Lacrosse is Canada’s national sport and there are many skills needed to play the game, road hockey can allow those who cannot/do not skate to enjoy what should be our national sport. Place a hockey stick in anybody’s hands, they will instinctively know what to do. That might be the beauty of a national sport that anyone can play. I imagine new Canadians receiving their citizenship papers, along with a new hockey stick and then being invited to a road hockey game out in the courthouse parking lot. A friendly welcome to a new country and a new game that other sport skills could be easily adapted and transferred. A new Canadian with soccer skills could “head” the road hockey ball into the net or as a pass.

I say, keep the sticks out year round as a thoughtful tribute to the Broncos and let’s play some road hockey…game on!

Downtown Association seeks collaborative ways to improve downtown vibrancy Sasha-Gay Lobban

Heritage Saskatchewan and SEDA/ThriveSask make interactive presentations at the Downtown Association meeting In a bid to create news ways to improve the vibrancy of downtown Moose Jaw, the Downtown Association says it will take a collaborative approach among locals, businesses and other organizations to ensure that it continues to thrive.

At a meeting/workshop held on Monday, April 23 at the Grant Hall Hotel, the Downtown Association brought in the Saskatchewan Economic Development Association (SEDA) and Heritage Saskatchewan, along with other representatives to share ideas and strategies on how to improve downtown.

Moose Jaw last year, was voted to have one of the coolest downtowns in Canada. The Downtown Association says, however, they want to improve on this and boost the town’s vibrancy through a collaborative approach.

Cherylynn Walters, the Saskatchewan Econom-

ic Development Association’s community coach, says there are a lot of things the city can improve on to attract and retain visitors in downtown. She noted that if visitors are propelled to not only visit but extend their stay, this will be of great economical benefit to Moose Jaw. “I’m here together with other groups at this meeting to share how groups can improve downtown. Not only that but we also want Moose Jaw to bring back into downtown its local heritage, not necessarily every building but the things that are really special to Moose Jaw and can become special to the outside communities as well,” she explained.

She outlined some examples that can be used to boost downtown. “With the number of events that Moose Jaw offers, if every time there was an event that takes place and visitors are handed information

about other events going on or will take place in the near future, that makes every event a drawing card for the city. It is also important that local people recognize the importance of their downtown. I understand that there may be issues with parking for example but keeping your downtown very vibrant is important. This will ensure that Moose Jaw continues to prosper over the long-term when locals support their downtown. As someone who comes here as a tourist, it is your downtown that attracts me and so if that is no longer here, I’d spend less time in Moose Jaw, therefore spending less money.

This prevents the community from benefiting from the wealth brought in by tourism.”

The Downtown Association says the meeting was beneficial and will result in developing better strategies to improve downtown Moose Jaw’s vibrancy. Vice president of the Association Evie KoopSawatzky reiterated the need for an integrated approach. “We were excited to bring in Heritage Saskatchewan and SEDA/ThriveSask (Saskatchewan Economic Development Association) to be able to work together on a more collaborative approach to improving our downtown. When we look at what the downtown is and what we want it to be, we must assess where those gaps are and identify our main priorities and what we want to improve.

There are many things that everyone in Moose Jaw would like to see in downtown from a tourist perspective, a local or business owner but when we’re looking to improve the vibrancy of downtown, what it comes down to is a collaborative approach.

The groups have come in to help us rethink what we have and improve on that. We want our downtown to continue growing, so this meeting was about re-visioning, re-energizing and putting plans on paper and in action as to what the downtown businesses can do to create that excitement downtown.”

She identified some gaps that she says the Association will be working with other groups to fill. “What is misleading is that people think we have so much going on for us and we really do have a lot. However, we want to encourage cross-promotion between organizations and work together more. Some of the gaps we want to work on are: we have vacant buildings downtown that businesses can come in to rent; inefficiencies in downtown that persons have concerns about like parking and unfinished streets, cleanliness, store frontage and heritage building restorations. We can’t physically fix these problems but what we can do is create a conversation and provide feedback. We will be doing an analysis of the shops that are empty and what’s missing in our downtown and go forward from here.
