Plenty of Issues Tackled at City Council Meeting Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Decisions at the May 14 meeting of Moose Jaw City Council will see residents doling out more cash for services. Council accepted a report from the Department of Engineering Services with regards to waste collection and disposal fees, resulting fees being set at $9.77 per month or $117.24 per year.

As well, council read for the third time and officially passed the Property Tax Bylaw, 2018. That made official the much-discussed 6.4 per cent overall tax increase – a raise that through recent measures to close the gap between residential and commercial property taxes will see a 7.5 percent increase on residents and four per cent increase on businesses.

But the vast majority of discussion on the night came on the question of garbage collection, with city engineering director Josh Mickleborough fielding a host of queries from councillors with regards to the hike.

Coun. Crystal Froese sought explanation of the fee increase with regards to the current collection system in addition to landfill disposal fees.

Mickleborough explained the monthly fee now includes both aspects – collection and disposal – when in the past it only included collection. That clarification was key, said Froese.

“With how rates relate to landfill, there seems to be a disconnect in the community between tossing some garbage in a bin in the backyard and having it taken away to a landfill that’s coming really close to the end of its life and the costs we have with that keeping up to regulations,” she said. “You’re not just paying for garbage pick-up, we’re now trying to appropriately pay for the landfill disposal within regulations. I think that needs to be clearly stated here, that this is covering a lot more than just pick-up.”

Costs for running the landfill itself have risen substantially in recent years, especially since the city began following a regulation stating there had to be cover spread daily over the new refuse. That comes at an annual cost of over $400,000, something Mickleborough said the city is working to reduce.

Discussion also surrounded removing bins from back alleys after collection, with the goal of having empty bins kept in residential yards so as to avoid having crews dealing with unnecessary work of emptying bins with nothing in them.

If, as per the new bylaw, bins aren’t removed, homeowners could be fined. Since the report passed as read, the bylaw will come into effect as soon as May 28. Crew have already started marking empty bins post-pick-up.

Coun. Brian Swanson was one of the dissenting voices, point-

COMPLETE AUTOMOTIVE AND DIAGNOSTIC REPAIRS

ing out that the 2017 rate was $6.57 a month, resulting in a 48 per cent increase that he saw as another unnecessary hit on taxpayers’ wallets.

“One thing that keeps coming up is the cost keeps going up,” Swanson said. “Four or five years ago, when we had a garbage man go down the alley and empty your garbage into the truck, that cost $565,00 a year for once a week collection service...

Now we’ve gotten so fancy we’re up to $2.3 million, quadrupling the cost of that service. I know all the details of all the costs involved and the costs at the landfill, but we’ve spent millions buying garbage trucks and millions buying this and that, when the simplest system we had was the one that was the least expensive.

“There’s no noticeable difference in service, and yet we’re continuing to hit the taxbase with increased fees.”

The report was passed 4-3, with Couns. Froese, Chris Warren, Scott McMann and Mayor Fraser Tolmie for, Couns. Swanson, Don Mitchell and Dawn Luhning opposed.

Other notes from city council: Council voted to alter an executive committee traffic bylaw item requiring children under 18 to wear a bicycle helmet to children under 16. Coun. Swanson asked for the revote, pointing out that the number of youth in the older age bracket are now riding without such protection and the prohibitive nature of police ticketing so many children in that age group for such a ‘crime’. Coun. Warren added that 77 per cent of those unofficially polled felt that children under 17 should wear helmets. The vote passed 5-2.

Council officially adopted the name ‘Happy Valley Orchard’ as the name of a soon-to-be planted orchard on the 600 block of Hall St. East. The area is to be

worked on by the South Central Food Security Network, planting a variety of food plants with work commencing as soon as May 31. The decision was passed unanimously.

The Moose Jaw Farmers’ Market received street-closure approval from council, with Langdon Crescent from Cordova St. to Athabasca St. to be shut down every Wednesday beginning July 11 through Aug. 29 from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday beginning May 26 to Oct. 6 from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. with a short one-lane vehicle access from the Cordova St. entrance to the Grant Hall parking lot.

Approval was given for the construction of a playground in the Iron Bridge Estates

neighbourhood. Current bylaws state that a new playground can be constructed if there is no such facility within 500 metres walking distance, with the closest playground to that area around 800 metres away in Spring Creek. The park will be installed by a professional playground company and inspected before opening.

The night concluded with a request from the Youth Advisory Committee – of which many were in the gallery throughout the two-and-a-half hour meeting alongside advisor Lyle Johnson – to ban the use of plastic shopping bags in Moose Jaw. “We know the plastic is not readily biodegradable and can take a thousand years to break down. Anyone who has arrived

in Moose Jaw from the east or visited our landfill has witnessed the detrimental effect the use of plastic waste has had on our community,� said spokeswoman Rachel Butt. “Environmental stewardship is everyone’s responsibility. This is why we, the youth of Moose Jaw, need our community to pull together for ourselves and the sake of our future generations.�

Butt pointed out that other communities in Canada have taken similar steps – with a quick search finding Montreal one of the most recent – and that Moose Jaw could join the leaders in such a revolution. “Let’s be at the forefront. Let’s be the change,� Butt said.

Co-op wholesaler’s 89th year posts record sales and net income

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Wholesaler Federated Co-op enters its 90th year of operations having just completed a record sales year in 2017.

Last year the Saskatoon-headquartered business posted $9.8 billion sales, a 17 per cent increase.

Of that, FCL paid $338 million in cash to member co-ops, with the Moose Jaw Co-op Association receiving $3.8 million.

FCL is owned by 181 retail co-ops in Western Canada.

Member support is more important than ever in

these challenging and competitive times, Marc Topola, regional FCL director told the Moose Jaw Coop annual meeting. “It is our members that make our co-op truly successful,� said Topola. “The retail landscape is changing at an even faster pace today than it did a year ago. “ Among FCL milestones last year, two fertilizer distribution terminals stand out, said the Assiniboia resident.

Two state-of-the-art terminals were completed on time and on budget at Hanley, Sask. and Brandon, Man. Hanley capacity is 45,000 tonnes with 27,500 tonnes at Brandon.

The terminals show “how continued growing sup-

port for the ag industry has helped us achieve record ag sales exceeding $1 billion over 2017. It was only a few years ago that we were in the $220 million.�

The co-op system has “distinct advantages over our competitors with the co-operative business model.

This model balances our economic and social responsibilities investing in our local communities and meeting our needs.�

In future, the co-ops’ primary focus is on sustainability – minimizing environmental impacts, investing in local communities and operating financially responsible operations to a world class in consumer retail excellence, he said.

May is Early Childhood Education Month

MLAs Column

Warren Michelson

May has been proclaimed Early Childhood Education Month. It is an opportunity to acknowlMoose Jaw North edge the important role Warren Michelson, MLA early childhood education plays in the growth and development of children, and to recognize the thousands of early childhood educators who contribute to their physical, emotional, spiritual and intellectual development.

Early childhood educators play an important role both in child care environments and in our schools. Research has shown that encouraging young children to learn, play, express their feelings and develop positive relationships gives them ability to go on to reach their full potential in life.

Optimizing the early years of children’s lives is one of the best investments we can make as a society in ensuring their future success. Early in our government’s mandate, we recognized the need for more child care spaces and increased early learning supports.

Through the Saskatchewan Early Years Plan, parents can expect: Prenatal and early childhood support for mothers and children; Better access to high quality early learning and child care options; Support for families in their role as parents and caregivers; and Programs that make sure children and families receiving support don’t slip through the cracks.

The Ministry of Education has been working with early years groups, including child care centres and community programs, to achieve the goals set out in the plan.

Workin’ 9 to 5 Isn’t as Bad as Dolly Says

by Dr. Steven Heidinger, Moose Jaw Chiropractor Years ago, before I was a chiropractor, I spent some time working in a factory. The company ran 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks in a year. In other words, it never shut down. Most of the employees worked what was called a 7-day swing shift schedule. There were 3 shifts in a 24-hour period, each lasting 8 hours. A worker would work 7 days, afternoons or nights in a row, with just a few days off between cycles.

I remember those days fondly, not for the job itself, but for the fact that after my night shifts, I would go straight to the golf course and get a round in before noon. That shift was great for my golf game, but bad for my sleep habits. While I had fun in those days, I do remember not feeling my best either. Even on the days when I got in my 8 hours of sleep, I did not feel as well as when I had 8 hours of sleep when we all are supposed to sleep, when the sun was down for the night.

Mother Nature wants us to be active during the day when the sun is out and resting or asleep when there is darkness. The 24 hours cycle, which nearly all living things on this planet are guided by, has more of an effect on our physiology than most would know. Mammals, fish,

The 2018-19 Saskatchewan budget invests over $100 million in the Early Years.

Access to quality child care has improved over the past decade. There was an extreme shortage of spaces in 2007, which needed to be addressed, especially as our population began to grow. Since then Saskatchewan has seen a 73 per cent increase in new child care spaces.

Here in Moose Jaw, there are now 53 per cent more licensed child care spaces than there were a decade ago.

A three-year bilateral agreement between the Governments of Canada and Saskatchewan announced in March will help ensure that Saskatchewan children get the best start in life. The funding will support the creation of: • 1,015 new Licensed Child Care Spaces and 1,500 New Licensed Family Child Care Home Spaces; • Early Learning Intensive Support Pilots; • Creation of New Francophone Child Care Spaces; and • Training Equipment Grants and Literacy Programming Nearly 600 of the announced new licensed child care centre spaces have already been allocated. More licensed family child care home spaces will increase opportunities for parents to choose the child care best-suited to their needs while creating employment opportunities for those interested in caring for children within their homes.

The Early Learning Intensive Support Pilot has started and is expected to provide up to 112 spaces in Public and Catholic schools in Regina and Saskatoon this fall. The pilot provides funding to hire additional educational assistants to create inclusive classrooms that support the meaningful participation of all students.

Thank you to all Early Childhood Educators who work to ensure a bright future for the children of Saskatchewan.

and even fungi and bacteria follow what is known as a “circadian rhythm”, which is determined by light changes (and to some extent temperature changes) that occur in a 24-hour period. In mammals, like us, hormones which control many our body functions rise and fall with the sun. When we do the opposite of what Mother Nature intends, there can be dire consequences for our health.

My experience was, when I was working night shifts, I often felt indigestion and heartburn. Gastrointestinal disorders are not uncommon in shift workers. From upper GI problems like ulcers to lower digestive issues like colitis and irritable bowel, digestion is confused by the body being active when it should be resting.

Shift workers also show higher prevalence of diseases like cancer, hypertension and heart disease and even mood disorders. While there may be an influence of stress on the family life that can result from shift work that may lead to a higher rate of these diseases, it is hypothesized that these diseases come on due to the hormonal changes that result from not adhering to the 24-hour circadian rhythm. Studies show that when we move when the sun is down and rest when the sun is up, that these hormones are affected.

How does this help those who must work these shifts?

Much of the world does not stop after 9 to 5. There is some evidence to show that strategic shift scheduling can improve outcomes. Rather than having multiple night shifts in a row, it may be best to cluster a few night shifts together with a few day shifts, then followed up with multiple days off. The days off, with getting back to sleep at night, may better aid the body in getting back

Students and parents receive tips on how to finance post-secondary education Sasha-Gay Lobban

“Start saving early, no matter how small; do your research, make a budget and stick with it,� were some of the words of advice students received at Vanier Collegiate on Wednesday, May 9 as they learned how to finance their prospective post-secondary education.

Representatives from Conexus Credit Union provided some invaluable information to the grade 11/12 students who are set to pursue their post-secondary studies. The students learned about how they can access RESPs, student line of credits and accounts, Canada-Sask. Integrated student loans program, scholarships, bursaries, awards and more financial literacy tips.

Susan Smuk from Conexus emphasized the importance of being financially responsible while pursuing post-secondary education and how her institution can help. “It is really important to support our students in our community and their financial well-being by giving them financial information that will help them to be successful in their future endeavors,� she said.

One of the tips she emphasized, was the importance of doing research, creating a budget and sticking to it. “Conexus has been working for a few years on the financial well-being of our membership and we realized that we have to reach out into our community, so we’ve identified financial health indicators that will help persons assess their financial well-being. We subsequently support them in reaching their goals, so they can be financially better overall. It is a similar approach we have here with

Conexus’ Susan Smuk makes a presentation. students where we tell them how to be more financially responsible going forward in their post-secondary education. This will eventually lead to less stress and more success.�

Smuk added that there are different channels students can access when they think about financing their post-secondary education. “If parents or guardians put money away into a Registered Education Saving Plan (RESP), that can help to finance students’ education. They can also access several student loan options available at various financial institutions. At Conexus, we have the Conexus Student Choice Education Loan; there is also co-op programs students can opt for where they work and attend school that will help with their expenses. It is also good for parents to talk to their financial advisor to see how they can move forward in helping their children when it comes to financ-

ing post-secondary education,� she said.

Grade 12 student, Thayne Winder, says the information provided by the presentations was very valuable and he is now more aware of the different supports he can get while planning his post-secondary journey. “My take away from this is that there’s a lot of different things that a student can do to get money and a lot of different ways that I wasn’t aware of. I also realized that it is not that stressful to try and get all the money that you need and to start paying it off when you’re done because there’s a lot things out there to help you along the way. I know, now, of a lot places I can go to look for help with finding scholarships and help with planning my own budgeting.�

Chrysta Lapointe, teacher at Vanier says this presentation was important as it prepares students for their future. “Every spring we try to put this on for students here at Vanier or the wider community. It’s our sixth year doing this presentation. It can be a stressful time for students and their parents so the more information they have in advance, the better. We always encourage students who are going into post-secondary education to do their research and make sure that they know how to budget wisely and access the necessary funds they’ll need; learning how to budget and understanding how the university, college or trades work when it comes to finances. We encourage students to get all the information they can and be diligent in managing their budgets.

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS Cheese nearly misses bread slices

It is a fairly well-known fact that I consider myself somewhat of an expert on grilled cheese or grilled ham and cheese sandwiches.

In previous columns, I have talked about how sometimes it is difficult to find grilled cheese on the menu, that in fact, one upscale eatery admitted the “chef� didn’t know how to make a grilled cheese sandwich. And then there was the restaurant server who insisted the half-burned, toasted cheese sandwich was really a grilled cheese. I never did get my sandwich that day.

Joyce Walter On a trip to Prince Edward Island, I became addicted to For Moose Jaw Express grilled cheese and apple jelly sandwiches and upon our return home, stocked up on apple jelly and made sandwiches on the grill until the jelly jar was scraped clean.

In the years since grilled cheese or grilled ham and cheese sandwiches are what I eat at lunch time when we travel here and there. With a sometimes wonky digestive system, that choice of lunch is safest and I don’t mind the sameness of the meal, even while watching Housemate wolfing down hot beef sandwiches, veal cutlets, fish and chips, even plates of Chinese food. I make up for it in the evening when we are stopped for the day and there’s a motel room with indoor plumbing at our disposal.

But I still have standards and expectations of how a grilled cheese should be served. And lately, I am disappointed to report that neither standard nor expectation has been met.

On weather-permitting jaunts in recent weeks I have noticed a trend: in order to keep

the cost of a grilled cheese below $15, cafe owners have taken to running past the bread with the Cheez Whiz jar, hoping some cheese will drop out onto the bread before the pass is completed. Or they are buying thin, thin slices of no-name cheese, slices so tiny the thickness of the melted cheese cannot be measured without special instrumentation.

And now I know why finicky children demand that the crusts be cut off their slices of bread — to avoid sandwiches where the filling doesn’t stretch from crust to crust to crust.

To make matters even less tasty, the ham atop the cheese is just as miniscule and if any self-respecting pig saw how the meat is shaved so thinly, that pig would uncurl its tail in embarrassment.

So, I’ve come up with a contest in my mind to find the best grilled cheese or grilled ham and cheese sandwich during our summer travels, through cities and rural villages. When the summer is over I will announce my findings and publicly give a tip of the Cheez Whiz jar to the winner.

Long ago a friend told me he used real cheddar cheese slices in his restaurant’s grilled cheese. Unfortunately, that establishment is no longer in business, perhaps because he didn’t scrimp on the ingredients and didn’t raise his prices to meet the cost of the sandwich. I do miss those sandwiches he fixed and hope to find one of equal measure throughout the summer.

Heat up those grills and get the cheese ready.

King George Elementary enjoys pancake breakfast by Friendly City Optimists Sasha-Gay Lobban

Over 400 students got to enjoy a delightful pancake breakfast at King George Elementary School on Tuesday, May 15, courtesy of the Friendly City Optimists.

The students gathered in the school’s gymnasium bright and early to enjoy pancakes, sausages, juice, along with a fruit, served by Optimists members.

Since last year, the Optimist Club has been hosting pancake breakfasts for selected schools across the city. Since they started, approximately four schools have benefited, which schools often say is a great benefit to students as it not only provides a healthy meal, but it also teaches the students to give back.

Vice Principal at King George, Eric Campbell, says the pancake breakfast is a great display of service in the community. “It is really nice to have a group like the Optimists come in and do something great like this for our kids; having a great breakfast like this and bringing everyone together to get a chance to also have a little fun with each other while having a great meal. We want to say thanks to the Optimists Club for giving us this opportunity. It’s

We started doing the breakfast last year as a community event. This is not a fundraiser—we raised funds, and this is one of the ways we chose to spend those funds. We are just really trying to get out in the community and work with our youth because that’s what we’re about, youth.

This allows us to go out into the community and into schools to get more and more integrated. We go to different schools, so we can spread it out.”

Nearly half the southern crop seeded after three weeks

By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express

AGRIMART

EXPRESS Almost half the crop is seeded in southern Saskatchewan compared with one-third across the province, according to the Saskatchewan Agriculture weekly crop report.

In the southeast, seeding was 49 per cent done by May 18 compared with 39 per cent last year. The

Moose Jaw Regina crop district was 46 per cent complete.

In the southwest, seeding was 45 per cent completed with the Assiniboia/Coronach district at 46 per cent and the Gravelbourg/Mortlach/Central Butte area t 40 per cent.

In the southwest, 60 per cent of canola and lentils were seeded compared with 26 per cent and 57 per cent respectively across the province.

Rain is still needed across most of Saskatchewan.

Only some trace amounts fell in thee Moose Jaw trading area with almost an inch south of Gull Lake and a burst near Mankota.

Only 57 per cent of crop land is rated adequate for moisture while 35 per cent is short and eight per cent is very short.

The late spring has slowed pasture and hay growth.

SaskPower reported 46 incidents during the week of farm machines hitting electrical lines.

From The Kitchen

P i o n e e r h o m e m a k e rs i nt ro d u c e d to c a k e m i xe s

By Joyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Pioneer homemakers must have cringed in horror when they came across the 1953 edition of The Family Circle’s Cake and Cooky Cookbook.

In this book, the authors go so far as to encourage homemakers to avail themselves of the latest rage of store-bought cake and cookie mixes — something unheard of in the days of madefrom-scratch in the kitchen. “Cakes made from packaged mixes bought in your grocery store take little time to mix and are delicious,� the authors explain, but caution bakers to follow the directions on the package and not make ingredient substitutions such as using milk instead of water.

Recipes this week come from this book, using both mixes and from-scratch combinations. ••• Checkerboard Chocolate Cake 1-1 oz. square unsweetened chocolate 1 pkg. white or yellow cake mix walnut halves Melt chocolate in small saucepan over simmering water.

Mix cake batter according to directions on package. Divide batter in half.

Add melted chocolate to one half of the batter and blend thor-

oughly.

Grease and flour a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Spoon light and dark batters alternately into loaf pan, light on dark and dark on white to form a checkerboard pattern.

Bake in a moderate oven (350 F) for 45 minutes or until centre springs back when lightly pressed with fingertip.

Cool cake in pan on wire cake rack for 10 minutes. Loosen around edges with knife. Turn out onto rack. When completely cool, frost and garnish with walnut halves. ••• Peach Right-Side-Up Cake 1 pkg. white or yellow cake mix 3 tbsps. butter or margarine 3 tbsps. cream 2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed 1/2 cup chopped walnuts 1/4 tsp. vanilla 1-16 oz. can peach slices, drained Mix batter and bake in oblong cake pan according to directions on package of mix.

Cream butter or margarine in a small bowl. Add sugar. Blend well. Stir in vanilla and walnuts.

Spread sugar-nut mixture over hot cake just as it is removed from the oven. arrange peach slices on top to cover cake.

Broil, with top of cake 5 inches from heat, about 5 minutes or until topping is bubbly and brown.

Cool cake in pan on wire cake rack for 10 minutes. Cut in squares and serve warm. ••• White Cake 2 1/4 cups sifted flour 1 1/2 cups sugar 4 tbsps. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1 cup milk 1/2 cup vegetable shortening 1 tsp. vanilla or almond extract 4 egg whites, unbeaten Grease bottoms of 2-8 inch layer cake pans, line with waxed paper and grease again.

Junior Achievement’s World of Choices comes to Moose Jaw in inaugural roll-out across the province Sasha-Gay Lobban

Junior Achievement Saskatchewan (JA) is rolling out a new program, ‘World of Choices’, where it is set to prepare the next generation of leaders in various careers.

World of Choices brings students together with career mentors in their desired fields.

In the second delivery of the program in the province, Junior Achievement will be bringing World of Choices to Moose Jaw on Wednesday, May 23 at the Mae Wilson Theatre. Starting at 10am, students from across the city will get an opportunity to have intimate sessions with professionals from the career of their choice. World of

professionals from the Fire Department in Moose Jaw. It is a free event for everyone and this was all made possible through the generous support of RBC.�

He says World of Choices aims is to inspire students to pursue and succeed in career opportunities and gain confidence to pursue possibilities available to them. “We’re basically trying to help the next generation of leaders and everyone is invited to come out. We want to show everyone the different types of careers that are out there and the different types of professions they can have.�

This is the inaugural year for World of

Choices, sponsored by RBC is free for everyone to attend.

Brandon Johnson, program director for Junior Achievement Saskatchewan, says this is not your typical career fair. He says it will entail different aspects that will allow students or anyone from the public to interact directly with professionals who will provide first-hand information about their fields. “It’s a career fair but not your usual trade show,� said Johnson. “Any of the students that signs up will get one-onone sessions in small groups with different professionals. We have from Olympic athletes to hair salon technicians and

Choices and it will become an annual event going forward, noted Johnson. “It is the first year we’re running this particular event. However, this is the second delivery of the program where we have done it in Northern Saskatchewan and we’re going to be doing it four more times throughout the year in Saskatchewan. This will be an annual program going forward. World of Choices is a big thing world-wide that Junior Achievement has now added to its mandate so everyone across the world will be doing World of Choices events.�

Saskatchewan taxes and utility costs among lowest across Canada Costs for $75,000 family income

by Ron Walter

Vancouver $9,861 Calgary $7,250 Regina $8,316 Winnipeg $10,793 Toronto $13,059 Montreal $11,546 Saint John $13,799 Halifax $15,232 Charlottetown $15,300 St. John’s $15,449 Source: Sask Finance

When it comes to provincial taxes and utilities, Saskatchewan is still one of the cheapest places to live in Canada.

Saskatchewan rates from second to third lowest of 10 comparable cities according to data compiled by Saskatchewan Finance for the last budget.

Four categories — a single person with $40,000 income, and a family of four with family incomes of $75,000, $100,000 and $125,000 were compared on the basis of provincial income tax, tax credits/rebates, health premiums, sales tax, gas tax, electricity, phone and auto insurance costs.

The inter-city comparison has long been part of the annual budget, and was introduced by the NDP as a measure of how efficient Crown Corporations are at keeping a lid on the cost of living as they do not have to pay off shareholders.

The Saskatchewan Party government has maintained the comparison, likely to show that its policies are keeping costs of living down.

Cities in the comparison are Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Saint John, Halifax, Charlottetown and St. John’s.

Not surprisingly, Calgary came out with the lowest costs simply because of no sales tax, lower income tax, lower electricity costs.

Regina was second in the $40,000, $75,000 and $100,000 categories, third in $125,000.

Another surprise, Vancouver was third in all categories except $125,000 where the city was second.

The West Coast city has low income tax,

Clark’s

lower electricity costs and lower auto insurance than most other cities.

Winnipeg is fourth, thanks to lower auto insurance, electricity and phone costs.

Public auto insurance Crowns in Saskatchewan, B.C. and Manitoba make a significant difference to living costs — between $600 and $1,300 a year compared with a $40,000 income in Alberta, and make a big difference in Quebec, P.E.I. and New Brunswick.

Toronto is among the highest cost cities with highest cost auto insurance, high electricity fees and sales tax pushing costs up.

The Maritime provinces with higher income and sales taxes and oil-generated electricity cost, are on the high end of the cost spectrum.

One wonders where these cost comparisons would fall if municipal property taxes and utility services were shown?

Since provinces play a major role in funding municipal needs, there is justification to include municipal property taxes and utility services. The province can make its picture look better by dumping costs to the municipal system, as it has.

What if smaller cities like Moose Jaw were compared cross country? How would Moose Jaw’s 124 per cent increase in water rates over 10 years fit in?

What about the increased sewer rates?

Certainly the water rates discourage back yard gardens to cope with living costs.

And what about the new garbage fees? Are our recycling fees in line with others?

Is there another way to run a railway with good performance?

By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express

Canada’s two major railways are ticking-off users in every sector of the country from reEXPRESS tailers to wheat farmers.

Rural residents of Western Canada have had a love-hate relationship with the railways ever since trains dumped off the first unsuspecting homesteaders to fend for themselves on the cold bald Prairies.

Some homesteaders developed a special curse using the CPR name.

Farmers hated paying high rates to haul grain out, but even higher rates to bring in machinery and lumber.

At least once every five to seven years the railways fail to move all the grain grown in a timely manner, costing producers millions and millions of dollars in lost sales and extra shipping charges.

This year is one such poor performance year. While the Senate drags its heels on approving a new bill that is supposed to ensure better rail service, farmers grind their teeth.

Farmers are not alone in this situation. In the last two months, potash miners, hard rock miners, coal miners, oil producers and lumber companies have also complained about poor rail service.

Now Federated Co-ops has an issue getting rail delivery of fuel to an Alberta distribution terminal.

The two railways have a near monopoly on bulk freight in Canada.

Given the willingness of Alberta and the federal government to pony up cash to ensure an oil pipeline, why would they not do the same with the railway system?

Management and boards at the CPR and CNR need to think about how to keep that option off the table with improved service. That is not to say government control or ownership would improve matters.

But the big losers would be rail management, directors and shareholders.

What to do with Wakamow Valley; that is the question Joan Ritchie

Kayla. Diagnosed with MS at 20. MS Walk participant.

Wakamow Valley held a Strategic Planning Open House on May 9th to see what direction Wakamow Valley Authority should go in the future and what the community considers priorities to be.

Carissa Robb of CLR Results has been retained by Wakamow Valley Authority to organize the project and come up with a strategic plan to decide the future of the park. With a background in communications, she has worked for the provincial government, non-profits and those that are profitable. She has spent seven years as a manager with Wascana Centre Authority in Regina and feels she understands the logistics going on here.

CEO of Wakamow Valley Authority Margaret Moran said the last planning session was held in 2009 and now it’s time to “refocus some development and see what the public thinks we should be focusing on now.�

Established in 1981 by an Act of the Saskatchewan Provincial Legislature, the Wakamow Valley Authority’s mandate has changed over the years. “The aims of the original master plan was to set guidelines and long range concepts to enhance recreation potential while minimizing negative

flood effects. The over-riding theme identified at that time was rejuvenation.

The 2009 Master Plan Review stated that “Each of the other reviews undertaken also had a particular focus. The 1986 review emphasized the organization of Wakamow. The 1991 review’s focus was sustainability. The 2000 review presented recommendations based on a theme of linkages.�

In 2018, the needs have changed. The new purpose of Wakamow, stated the Board of Directors is “to sustainably maintain & enhance Wakamow Valley through education, development and conservation�.

Today’s goal is to begin creating a plan for the next 5, 10 & 25 years. The questions posed to the public will help to focus the direction.

For those that were unable to attend or want to continue the exploration, you can go on-line and answer a survey with all the same questions that will be available on the website at www.wakamow.ca At the end of the process, the hope is goals will be established and priorities set.

A report should be forth-coming in the next few weeks with some conclusive direction to consider and pursue.

YMCA’s Healthy Kids Day 2018 promises fun for families Sasha-Gay Lobban

On Saturday, June 02, the YMCA, (220 Fairford St. E. location), will host its annual Healthy Kids Day, a fun and free event for the entire family to enjoy!

The activity filled day will see children and their families from across the city having a fun-filled day of play and learning how to live a long healthy lifestyle. The event will start at 10:00am and ends at 2:00pm.

Kristin Bochek, Fitness & Special Events Coordinator at the YMCA says the family event is one that children and their families look forward to each year. “The YMCA Healthy Kids Day is a national family event held every year at many YMCA’s across Canada that is not only fun, but free, too! Parents are encouraged to bring their families to our YMCA of Moose Jaw to participate in activities while learning the joys of living a healthy lifestyle, together, as a family. We had a great turnout last year, and this year we are expecting approximately 200 participants and 15-20

vendors to be in attendance.�

She says there will be a lot of activities for families to be part of. “Children, youth and their families can expect to partici-

pate for free in a fun day of games, crafts, learning activities, entertainment, physical activities and more from our activity partners, sponsors, volunteers and of

course the YMCA. Our YMCA Healthy Kids Day is open to all ages to discover how simple and fun healthy living can be with the YMCA. We will also be hosting a BBQ in support of our YMCA Strong Kids Campaign which raises funds to support those in our community that face financial barriers to pursuing a healthy lifestyle and participating in our Day Camps and Programs.�

Bochek says YMCA Healthy Kids Day reflects in part, some of the programs the organization offers. “This day complements our program offerings at the YMCA as we provide opportunities for children and youth to be active through a variety of programs for all ages. Just to name a few, we have Little Tots Open Play, School Aged Fitness Programming, and Youth Drop-In Volleyball and Basketball – along with much more. There are endless opportunities to be involved and active at our YMCA,� she added.

Sharing in cannabis potential without investing in marijuana stocks Some investors may feel left out in the wake of profits made — paper profits anyway — on cannabis stocks.

Investing in cannabis stocks for the cautious investor is a no-no. There are too many unknowns — size of the market, ability to operate within tight regulations, 10 different sets of provincial rules.

Too many companies are chasing the market; some will fail, but which ones? Three or four leading companies stand out but there is no way to even guess whether their high values will stay when the market shakes out.

Investors can take a lesson from the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush in the Yukon, an event resembling the cannabis rush on a smaller scale.

In the Klondike Gold Rush few miners made much money. The consistent profits came from supplying the miners with picks, gold pans, food, booze, hotels and gambling/dance halls.

One of the big suppliers to the cannabis industry is GMP Capital, a Toronto-based investment dealer/broker assisting clients in financial matters.

Started in 1995 with the goal of becoming the leading independent dealer in Canada in competition with the

big banks, GMP did well until the oil price crash in 2014.

In 2016 speculation was rampant: GMP was shopping itself to the big banks.

Since 2010 GMP has handled 23 per cent of energy mergers, 21 per cent of energy underwritings and 14 per cent in mining deals and is number one in mining finance by dollar volume.

In the last year or two the company has diversified.

Health care and technology business now account for 20 per cent of investment deals. Diversification includes the cryptocurrency and blockchain technology markets The big winner is dealing with the explosion of cannabis companies as Canada moves toward legalization.

Without legalized cannabis, the big banks will not deal with these companies, although some are reviewing that policy.

GMP carved a profitable niche in the cannabis business by handling the share issues.

That niche made a lot of GMP’s 18 cents a share in 2017 and the eight cents a share in the first quarter this year.

Once the banks agree to dealing in cannabis stocks, GMP will likely lose some of that business.

But the company’s status in the oil and mining business can offset those losses.

Adding to GMP’s energy business is the late 2016 acquisition of oil patch financing leader First Energy.

At $3.25 a share GMP is poised to grow from the meeting of the stars – energy and metals are entering the updraft of another cycle – aided by growth in the new business of cannabis, cryptocurrency and blockchain technology The company’s one-third interest in GMP Richardson’s $30 billion high wealth management business continues to grow.

And there is the possibility one of the big banks will swallow GMP. This is a stock to watch.

CAUTION: Remember when investing, consult your adviser and do your homework before buying any security. Bizworld does not recommend investments.

Local man beats the odds of Lyme disease and finds big success with new-found talent

306-693-5840

Sasha-Gay Lobban

A Moose Javian is sharing his story of triumph after being diagnosed with Lyme disease two years ago and subsequently unearthing a new talent that would change his life forever.

Sean Gurnsey, who grew up and lived in Moose Jaw for most of his life had a life-changing experience with Lyme disease, after a fun trip to Oklahoma, U.S. in 2012. Gurnsey spoke with the Express about his journey as he was forced to battle for his life with the debilitating disease.

Lyme disease is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the Borrelia type which is spread by ticks.

Even though he initially contracted the disease it 2012, it was not until years later that Gurnsey received a proper diagnosis. “It took a long time for me to get a diagnosis.

I picked up the ticks in Oklahoma. I was there for a paint ball game in June 2012. I started seeing symptoms after I came back to Canada. My initial tests came back negative for Lyme disease so that set us on this journey of trying to figure out what it was,” Gurnsey said. “They suspected everything that Lyme disease mimicked: MS, lupus, brain tumours and they couldn’t come up with a diagnosis.”

“Our value is intrinsic. It is not based on what we can do or how much we can produce or the merit we earn.”

-Sean Gurnsey

After four years of doctor visits and tests, Gurnsey finally got a test result in 2016 that confirmed the presence of Lyme disease. “In 2016, we got back on the Lyme disease trail. We sent blood to a lab in the States and it came back positive for Lyme disease. So, it wasn’t until 2016 that I had a positive diagnosis. At that point, because it was out of country, certain doctors here were not willing to accept that diagnosis. I still had to fight within the Canadian system to get a proper diagnosis.” He explained. By this time, the disease had worsened. “Unfortunately, by that time, four years in, the symptoms had got to a point where half of my body wasn’t working most of the time because it’s a nervous system problem. My brain wasn’t working—I lost memory; my day-to-day functioning was severely impacted, and I had a lot of scary moments where I

Sean Gurnsey had Alzheimer’s-like symptoms where I even forgot who my kids were. It was at that point, in January 2017 that I had to quit my job for the sake of my health. I wasn’t able to do my job. I was working at Joe’s Place Youth Center.

They were extremely gracious there and supportive but we all realized that taking a break was the best thing to do.” Now out of a job, battling the disease that got more severe and unable to continue to support his family financially, Gurnsey was in for the fight of his life. “At that point, I came to an all time low. My own self-worth was being questioned because I was no longer able to provide for my family. I was looking at 2017 like I wasn’t going to survive this year,” he said.

However, things took a sudden change when Gurnsey received a call from a friend. Little did he know, he was on the verge of unearthing a new talent that would turn his life around completely, even in his debilitating state.

“During this low period, a friend of mine, Jesse Adam contacted me about some voice over work he was doing.

He told me about it and said it was something I could do from home even when I am not having the best of days.

He told me about this website called voices.com where you sign up, create a profile and it sends auditions that meets your criteria—auditions that were based on who you are. I started doing that and a month in, I got a job,” said an excited Gurnsey.

With a brand-new opportunity and a chance to provide for his family again, Gurnsey’s illness also took a turn for the better. “I was amazed at the opportunity because I was now able to provide a little bit for my family. I started doing it and interestingly, by June last year (2017), my symptoms started easing up as well. So, I started this new job, created a business and Lyme disease started to give me a break. By the end of July, I got a really big job working for a well-known company. It ended up paying well and I was able to catch up on the bills we had missed due to my illness. It became a viable job for me. The whole course of my life was now changed. I’ve never considered doing voice overs ever in my life before and now it has become a big part of my life.”

With this new opportunity and a better outlook on life, Gurnsey and his family have undertaken another big step.

They moved out of the Friendly City and have started a new business venture while Gurnsey still gets to work on his new-found talent. “Sine then, we’ve moved to Alberta to start a new business and build a new life. The best thing about it all, I could take my studio with me. I am my own work, so I can be in the country or city and anywhere in the world, in or out of a wheelchair and still do my job world-wide from my own home.”

Meanwhile, Gurnsey says his experience over the years has not only given him a new outlook on life but he is also encouraging others, through his story to not give up, even while suffering from a grave illness or situation.

“Our value is intrinsic. It is not based on what we can do or how much we can produce or the merit we earn. Our value is based on a higher power. For me, my faith would say, ‘God put value on us.’ I think that’s a hard thing that people struggle with because when I was going through my situation, being in a wheelchair for most of that time, I recognized that people with disabilities were being treated like second class citizens. This can impact someone’s self-worth because they are cast aside and invisible to the mass population,” he said. “That was the hardest part of it for me because I realized how much people with disabilities are disregarded in society. Before I was in a wheelchair, I was part of that group of people that ignored the problem of illness. I want to be part of the small majority of people that recognize this and care to reach out and show care for each other. That’s what I gained out of my experience. The mountain top experience is great but it’s when you’re in the valley that you really learn.”

Currently, Gurnsey is doing much better as his symptoms have significantly reduced for almost a year. “I am doing much better. My doctors say I need to see 18 months of no symptoms before I am completely out of the woods because Lyme disease can lay dormant for some time. So, I’m approaching the one-year mark in June. I have a way to go but I’m optimistic about my recovery and I have a great support system.”

Long Sunday drive into southwest finds bustling wildlife

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

The first Sunday in May was too nice to stay at home and do yard work, so my partner and I headed for a long drive.

Our destination was Val Marie and the grasslands via Assiniboia and Mankota.

The 20-degree morning sun felt nice as we travelled south, seeing more seeded land the further south we went.

Geese have made themselves at home in almost every pothole around. Ducks don’t seem to be as numerous.

The lack of birds near 12 Mile Lake, south of Limerick, surprised us.

Green grass was bursting through old growth, creeks flowed steadily in the hills west of Wood Mountain — no sign of the snow that blanketed the hills just weeks ago.

A meadow lark warbled its song of optimism when we stopped to take photos of an old barn and adjacent two-storey house. We wondered how many children grew up there and where the four winds scattered them.

By lunch time we had arrived at Mankota, stopping at the Grasslands Inn. No pie.

Lunch over and the dusty air getting to my partner’s allergies, we decided to head home. Val Marie will be there another day.

North of Mankota, we stopped and watched 14 red bulls sunning in a yard converted into a bull pen. Two blackbirds fought on the edge of the slough. Was it over food or sex?

A couple of sloughs north of Kincaid boosted a variety of birds: geese, shorebirds, American avocets, grebes and several duck species.

A gorgeous yellow-headed blackbird posed for us on a cat tail reed.

My partner snapped shots of a young buck antelope lying next to us.

Near Ernfold, I saw a shaggy coyote in the brushes appearing to dine on some prey, but he escaped before the camera shot him.

A white truck with the licence plate 2XS passed. We wondered if his plate signified two marriages or two jail terms.

AGRIMART

EXPRESS Since the last update, there have been a few events the club has held and participated in. The annual bingo was held in February and was a great turnout. Thanks to all who donated prizes for the fun event. Many of our members participated in the first annual Big Talk Event! This was a club hosted public speaking event with two members going on to compete in District public speaking. There were 4 judges from the local Toastmasters club to judge the

speakers. It was a great experience for all members involved.

Some members attended the Spring Steer and Heifer Show in Regina. The club helped serve lunch at a couple bull sales throughout the spring and there was also an annual bottle drive.

The members are busily finishing up record books and making sure their projects are ready to be displayed at the annual Achievement Day. This year Achievement Day will be held June 2nd at 1pm and is held at the Rosso Farm. They will have beef, sheep and small engine members displaying their projects. The sheep sale will conclude the day.

Everyone is welcome to come out and see what the members have been busy at all year!

SEMSA holds annual conference in Moose Jaw with central focus on changes and opportunities in healthcare system Sasha-Gay Lobban

The Saskatchewan Emergency Medical Services Association (SEMSA) held its 59th annual conference at Mosaic Place to explore its theme, “Change is Opportunity.”

SEMSA says frontline paramedic professionals and Paramedic Services (EMS) continue to adapt and evolve, not by default, but rather by a deliberate and strategic design into a service delivery model capitalizing on resource infrastructure, utilizing the “entry point” into the health care system. The group noted that as the needs of the patient continues to grow and the resources available become pressured, people will continue to access medical services and will endure to seek out the answers and the services they need by who they always know will be there—paramedics.

“We are regularly relied upon to act, often quickly, to find solutions to problems that are not only limited to all degrees of acuity for clinical outcomes, but operational requirements that often make situations and the delivery of services more effective and critically valuable to the users. Because the dedicated leaders and professionals within the profession work hard to deliver and adapt to the needs of so many on a day-to-day basis, finding opportunities within the constant change of the profession is vital to the success of paramedic services,” said SEMSA. While noting the changes to the provinces health care system, the group says this change presents more opportunities that SEMSA will use to advance its services.

“With the transformational change in the healthcare system well underway with the amalgamated Saskatchewan Health Authority, this year’s theme is appropriate towards the opportunities that present themselves as a result of change. Healthcare is a constantly evolving service that builds its delivery on best practice, research, innovations and many more dynamic elements designed to serve the publics best healthcare needs in an ever-changing environment.”

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

Minister Greg Ottenbreit Speaking at the conference, Greg Ottenbreit Minister for Rural and Remote Health, commended SEMSA for its approach to changes in the healthcare system. “We want to commend SEMSA members, executives and staff on your continued commitment to providing quality emergency medical services across Saskatchewan. We understand that providing 24/7 emergency medical care to injured and ill patients takes commitment, dedication and a unique blend of professionalism and of course, compassion. Paramedics and other first responders often see patients and families during traumatic and emotional incidents. We commend the emergency preparedness planning, training and supports that each emergency medical service has in place to ensure its providers are ready to respond regardless of the type of call they’re responding to.”

He noted the recent tragedy involving Humboldt Broncos players which struck the province, highlighting the strong team work paramedics displayed in their response to the horrific crash. “The tragic Humboldt Broncos collision recently demonstrated the strong communication, team work and collaboration that exists between various grounds and aerial am-

bulatory services when many patients required triage, support and care,” he said. “It was a very challenging situation which brought out the best in our health system. The dedicated and compassionate care that was provided to victims and their families was truly remarkable.

During that difficult and tragic incident, you—paramedics in the province were there for the people of Saskatchewan.”

He added that the government continues to be committed to putting strategies in place to ensure that there is support for psychological injury due to the impact that emergencies can have on first responders. “Our government also understands the increased attention that is being payed to the traumatic impact that emergencies can have on individuals. Your support for each other through difficult times, shows the unity and commitment of the EMS community. In 2016, our government passed an amendment to the Workers’ Compensation Act, which established a rebuttal presumption through all forms of psychological injury. This means that it is presumed that a worker has suffered work related psychological injury and would not have to prove that it occurred in the workplace. Previously, workers were required to provide proof

of their psychological injury and that it was work related when filing their worker’s compensation claims to be eligible for compensation. Saskatchewan was the first to have legislation that covers other forms of psychological injury that workers could experience as a result of being exposed to traumatic events of situations at work, not just PTSD.” He also noted that, “the availability of formal and informal support is important for helping EMS team members cope with the after effects of stressful situations faced on a regular basis. The theme of this convention, “change is opportunity” and the focus of keynote speakers here, demonstrates SEMSA’s willingness to embrace change and new opportunities and to look to the future for ways to improve the delivery of EMS in the province,” he said. “It is encouraging that you’re focusing on opportunities for innovations and improvements as our communities and our population changes. We must also be ready to adapt new circumstances and explore ways to respond to changing needs. These are essential to providing quality care to Saskatchewan cities, our communities and yourselves. We appreciate SEMSA’s commitment towards working with the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) and the Ministry of Health as well as other team partners who implement patient care improvements in the EMS services.”

At this year’s conference, SEMSA hosted workshops and a tradeshow that provided strategic planning and networking opportunities between professionals in the industry. They also fostered discussions surrounding mental health in the workplace; service planning and patient centered objectives and leading during a time of change. Other dignitaries to include, Mayor Fraser Tolmie, MLA Warren Michelson and others were also in attendance. Randy Mellow, President of the Paramedic Chiefs of Canada was also in attendance.

DOWN ON THE

CORNER

Spring Training

You dream about it all winter and you cannot wait for it to arrive. When it does, it bats you over the head like a Louisville Slugger. I got our gloves out of the shed and gently rubbed mink oil into the old leather to last yet another season, so that

by Dale “bushy” Bush we would be ready when the day came for our spring gardening “Opening Day”. Our spring gardening season seemed to open late this year, and it soon became obvious that given that extra time, this aging old garden warrior should have been doing exercises and stretches rather than mink-oiling his work gloves. After my first spring day in the garden, I felt like I had run a marathon, attended a professional baseball spring training camp, figure-skated a 6 minute routine and played a few periods of hockey, all in the space of 3 or 4 hours. I was pooped, tired and most painfully of all…sore. I was so achy my eyebrow hair hurt!

I finished my Old Timer’s hockey season in pretty good shape and actually never missed any of our 72 games, which is a personal best, so I neglected to even consider Spring Training. After my first day of

digging, raking, rototilling, dragging, hauling, lifting and bending, I was a physical wreck and went into a semi-comatose state during my pre-supper nap. My after-supper nap was eerily similar and if it wasn’t for me hearing the theme music to Jeopardy on the telly, I might have dropped into a full tilt coma.

Opening day of gardening season, after a long winter, could not have come fast enough. I may have tried to complete a month’s worth of chores in an afternoon. I have seen this syndrome before with our youngest son when he was about 7 years old and the first camping trip of the season. In the space of half an hour, he would have ridden his bike, gathered and chopped firewood, tried to start a fire, shot his sling shot, prepped his fishing gear for the next morning and probably climbed a tree. So many things to do and, apparently, so little time to do it.

Like father like son.

I have many tools that supposedly make work easier and when used properly, they do get the job completed. The hand tools are efficient, but I like to burn fossil fuels with powered equipment like my self-propelled lawn mower, my rototiller, my trimmer(s), my leaf blower (and indoor duster) and my most destructive power tool in my shed…the chainsaw! Hand tools come with their own brand of

day-after aches and pains and it is painfully obvious what tool produces what ache. For instance, hand raking gives me a pain in the shoulders and using a shovel will certainly produce some lower back pain, so in order to prevent this from happening, I have 2 options. Option number one is to ask my beautiful bride to complete those chores. That is rarely met with enthusiasm. Option number two: do the chores myself with expensive and manly gas-powered tools. Option number two would seem to have fewer aches and pains than using hand tools but, in fact, there are just as many only in different places. An old ex-doctor of mine would just say, “Stay out of those places”, and that is why he is an ex-doctor of mine.

After an afternoon of trying to complete as many chores as possible, using as many power tools as possible and apparently getting as many aches and pains as possible, I will soak in the tub and sleep like a log. Which reminds me…

I have some chainsaw work to do tomorrow…. wooohooo!

TOPS News!

100 years

A stunning location with large sundecks, patios in a park-like setting overlooking beautiful Wakamow Valley

Two Hundred and seventy one TOPS members from chapters across Sk. attended PRD ( Prairie Recognition Days) in Regina May 4 & 5 to hear their new President Rick Danforth from Maine speak and to see who would become our Provincial Royalty.

This year marked two anniversaries for TOPS. 2018 marks the 70th Anniversary since TOPS began and also the 60th Anniversary of TOPS in Sask. TOPS ( Take off Pounds Sensibly) is a support group for weight loss with an emphasis on healthy eating habits and increasing physical activity. Pres. Rick also pointed out that TOPS is Non-Profit and not a business.

Pres. Rick joined in 2002 to support his wife in her weight loss and found the TOPS program also worked for him. He lost 104 pounds that year and graduated to KOPS ( Kept off Pounds Sensibly) and attained membership in the TOPS Century club whose members have lots 100 or more pounds. All his weight loss

came from changing his eating habits and by slowly increasing his walking distance.

Robert Spenser of Carnduff, Sk. was Crowned Provincial King with a weight loss of 64.5 pounds and graduated to KOPS status. Provincial Queen is Ester Walters of Regina who lost 70 pounds in 2017 and she also attained KOPS. Both will be attending IRD in Montreal in July later this year (International Recognition Days).

Members ages and stories varied. An 80 year woman from Bruno is a KOPS of 45 years, a member of 46 years, and she has never missed a PRD since she joined ! Several members were proud to walk across the stage as Century award members. They held up articles of clothing from their largest size and seeing the contrast was truly inspiring! Members who lost 10 lbs, 20 lbs, and more were also recognized. Members left feeling motivated and that their goals are attainable.

TOPS began in the USA and has spread to Canada, to become an international weight loss support program.

There are currently 85 TOPS chapters in Sk. and Moose Jaw has 4 chapters.

Moose Jaw Sk. 2211 chapter that meets in St. Andrews celebrated their 40th Ann. in 2017. The oldest continuously active TOPS chapter in Sk. is located in Melfort. For more information about TOPS go to www.tops.org or call 306690-8001 for local info.

Rung wins badminton provincial bronze

Cornerstone Christian School competitor claims rare hardware at high school championships Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

After a season filled with dominating performances and impressive victories, Cornerstone Christian School competitor Rung Kaophuthai won a bronze medal at the recent SHSAA provincial badminton championships.

But given Moose Jaw’s history in the sport at that level of competition, it turned out to be rarified air indeed. “We were looking back and trying to find out anyone had won a medal at provincials in the past, and it was only a girls doubles team and a mixed team years ago,� said Falcons coach Lee Behrns. “So she’s only the fourth girl from Moose Jaw to win a medal... that’s pretty incredible.�

Moose Jaw high school badminton has a long history of players dominating locally before hitting the provincial scene and running into the brick wall that is club badminton – players who focus on the sport year round and therefore are almost unbeatable at the highest levels.

Kaophuthai – an exchange student from Thailand – had played the sport back home but by her own admission wasn’t a standout. But the basics were enough to see her get off to a solid start to the season in the Moose Jaw high school league and eventually win the city title.

The run took a sudden hit at the district championships, though, as she lost the final to Caronport’s Melissa Ellis in three games. She bounced back the following weekend after a hard week of practice with coach Babith Varghese and swept Ellis in the regional final to earn her provincial berth. “Heading up there we were talking about how we thought Rung would do and we figured we’d be happy if she won a set,� Behrns said. “The competition at that level is just so tough.�

But then something interesting happened -- Kaophuthai opened with a 2-0 win over Notre Dame’s Ali Fournier. She lost her next match to two-time defending champion Clarizze Perpetua of Melville but rebounded with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Saskatoon Bishop Mahoney’s Therese Mercado.

And all of a sudden Rung was off to the playoffs.

hardware. “We couldn’t be prouder of her,� Behrns said. “She came such a long way as a player in such a short time, and it’s too bad she’s going back home after the school year. It would have been neat to see what she could do as a Grade 12.� ***** Rung was the only local player to reach the medal round.

Caronport’s Melissa Ellis posted a 1-2 record to finish in her girls round robin pool, while the Central boys doubles team of Carter Voth and Liam Kerr posted a 1-2 record and finished third in their boys doubles pool.

“When she got that first win over the girl from Notre Dame we were like ‘oh wow’ and then (Fournier) lost to (Mercado) and we were like ‘oh wow, wow’,� Behrns said with a laugh, referring to how it became more PETRO CANADA and more apparent that Kaophuthai could advance. “Then she won that last game in a real battle and we realized this was for real, that she could really medal...

Try our home made dinner specials she played so well, her footwork was so good that the 12OZ 99 PORK2CHOP $ 99 other girls just couldn’t get it in on her. It was really ROAST BEEF $ DINNER DINNER impressive.�

Mustangs record commanding wins over Weyburn Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Mustangs picked up a pair of solid wins over the Weyburn Thrashers in South Sask. Lacrosse League Bantam and Pee Wee division action recently at Mosaic Place, with the Bantams rolling to a 12-0 win and the Pee Wee squad taking a 7-2 victory.

The victories saw the Bantam Mustangs improve to 3-1-1 on the season while the Pee Wee Mustangs moved to 5-1 and hold down first place in their league.

Mustangs 12, Thrashers 0 After rolling out to a commanding lead in the game’s first 10 minutes, the Mustangs opted to spread out their offence and work on a variety of skills and tactics, offering some valuable in-game learning and development experience.

“It was good because were able to do a lot of passing and that’s something we really needed to work on, completing more passes and getting more good shots from the middle and stuff,” said Braxton Mac Angus, how had a goal and two assists in the contest. “So, this was a good game to work on that.”

Scoring was spread out up and down

the line-up, with no player having more than two goals. That was by design, said coach Steve Michaluk, especially once the Mustangs had the game in hand.

“We need to keep growing in confidence and be willing to go through the middle and take checks. There are quite a few guys coming up from Pee Wee last year and it’s a different game. The kids are bigger, the checks are harder, the goalies fill the net a lot more. So we need to grow with that some more, it’s not going to be as easy as it might have been last year for some of the younger

Moose Jaw Minor Football seeing changing of guard Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Minor Football League will have a new president for the coming season, for the first time in more than 30 years.

Long-time head league organizer Owen Morhardt decided to step away from the position he held for more than three decades this season, making way for former Canadian Football League offensive lineman and current Vanier Vikings assistant coach Matt Sheridan to take over the reins.

“It’s a unique opportunity,” Sheridan said. “When I first became aware of it, I was flattered that I had been approached; there were a couple of people that thought I would be suitable for the position.

Then I found out that Owen had been doing it for 30 years and I was, quite honestly, a little intimidated. Those are some big shoes to fill.

“For anyone who hasn’t been involved in minor sport, this is all volunteer stuff. I knew that from having grown up playing, coaching and everything, and the kind of dedication it takes to stick with something for 30 years is a testament to that.”

Given how the MJMFL essentially runs like a well-oiled machine from season-to-season at this point, Sheridan has no intention of trying to reinvent the wheel – no, his initial plans are to tweak what already works and see if some improvements can be made.

“All I can hope to do is keep things going and try and inject some new ideas and a different way of doing things, trying to get Moose Jaw Minor Football to that next level with increased participation and making sure the kids are out there having fun and doing so in a safe fashion,” Sheridan said.

Sheridan brings an impressive football pedigree to the job – he played eight seasons in the CFL with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers from 2001-2008, twice winning the team’s outstanding lineman award. He retired in 2010 and has spent the last five years in Moose Jaw as a strength trainer at Team Redgoat in addition to coaching with Vanier and the Saskatchewan Selects football teams. “(The local coaching experience) is most valuable when it comes to this,” Sheridan said.

“My experience at the CFL level is going to be nothing more than a marketing tool. It’s going to grab people’s attention and where it’s going to really make a difference is being able to collaborate with our stakeholders and coaches and grow minor football.”

With minor football season kicking off in August, there’s plenty of time to get settled in. But that’s not to say there’s isn’t stuff to do, beginning with registration opening this week. The immediate future will also see some infrastructure work on the local fields.

“Owen and the previous board have done a really good job, so we have some funds set aside to install sprinklers at Elk’s Field and we also want to get some work done on the practice fields to make sure that surface is up to par and able to handle all the practicing that’s going to happen,” Sheridan said. “In a broad stroke, our plan is to continue providing opportunities and continue to expand the reach and the calibre of what we’re doing.”

One major goal Sheridan has connects with his current coaching activity: he’d like to see a closer collaboration with high school football in Moose Jaw, eventually reaching the point where minor football acts as a direct feeder system for local teams.

“That’s always been something I’ve been conditioned to believe, growing up playing and now coaching football. Each successive level has a responsibility to prepare players, should they have any opportunity to play at that next level,” Sheridan said. “So, we just want to try and build that relationship and foster some closer ties so that at the end of the day any of the kids who want to play in high school or beyond, we’re in position where we’re giving them the toolsets to lead them to success.

“We want to make sure our focus stays on the mandate where we’re giving kids an opportunity to play the game and coaching lessons they need to succeed on the field obviously, but I’m also a firm believer that football and a lot of team sports are a metaphor for life and there are a lot of lessons that can be learned through sports that are difficult to create in other places.”

PBR Canada set to hit Mosaic Place

Top bull riders in Canada set to do battle on June 9 in Moose Jaw Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Anyone who took in the Professional Bull Riders Canada Touring Pro division show at Mosaic Place last year got a good look at just how good rodeo stock at that level of competition has become in recent years.

With only a handful of eight-second rides between the two shows in the Alpha Bull-promoted first-ever stop in Moose Jaw, it was apparent that the bulls came away as the overall winners.

Last year veteran cowboy Scott Schiffner, took home over $2,500 as one of the only competitors to put together two rides through the weekend show.

So will it be more of the same when PBR Moose Jaw Powered By Young’s Equipment returns on June 9 at Mosaic Place?

Show up to find out.

“The bulls are getting so good; the breeding and the feeding programs they’re on, it’s incredible the kind of talent we’re seeing from the animals these days,” said Alpha Bull promoter Chad Besplug, whose company puts together the impressive presentation for PBR Canada performances. “We hire the same five contractors everywhere we go and they’re the top five guys in Canada, so as far as bucking-bulls go, you won’t see a better pen anywhere in Canada.”

It’s the nature of the beast when it comes to rodeo – more work and dedication to the stock results in buckers that are, well,

almost supernatural compared to the past.

“That’s one part of this industry that’s taken off,” Besplug said. “There’s a lot more investment in the animals and what they know about nutrition and stuff like that is getting better all the time.

“Our sport isn’t something that takes advantage of these animals, they’re an equal part of it and they’re taken care of like any professional athlete if not better.

They’re incredible animals and some of them have fans of their own, too,” he added with a laugh.

As good as the bulls might be, you can bet the cowboys will strive to be better.

And while the official roster of compet-

itors for the local show hasn’t been officially set, rest assured that they’ll be some of the best cowboys currently competing in Canada.

“What you’ll see at events like ours is guys who are at the brink of being at the highest-level of PBR Tour, as well as a handful of guys who go to the World Finals every year,” Besplug said. “Everybody goes through (the) process (of qualifying through the Touring Pro-division), and it’s an interesting process where you’ll have guys who have been the top guys in Canada forever, but then you’ll have some 18-year-olds that are really

on fire, too. We’re halfway through the season right now and they’ve had to go through qualification to get to this level, so it should be a pretty good mix of veterans and young guys.”

Then there’s the show itself. Fans last year got a good taste of the whiz-bang sound-and-fury Alpha Bull brings to bull riding, and they can expect more of the same this time around.

“That’s one thing we take a lot of pride in at Alpha Bull is our production,” Besplug said. “I would describe it as a combination of a rock show and bull riding show.

We like to have the lights and music and atmosphere, I’ve always loved going to concerts and that’s the kind of atmosphere we like to put on at our events...

It’s a show for every age, but it’s a party in there, and we want anyone who comes to our shows to have fun and really enjoy themselves.”

And if Besplug and PBR Canada have their way, they’ll be back in Moose Jaw for many tours to come.

“If people will keep coming, we would like to stay in Moose Jaw for the next 20 years, that’s what we’re shooting for,” he said. “It’s a great venue and we had great crowds last year, so we’re hoping it’ll be just as good this time around.”

Tickets are currently available through the Mosaic Place box office.

Drone Program: CAE, Sask Polytech, City of Moose Jaw, Municipal airport all sign memorandum of undertanding Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Sask Polytech will soon be offering some impressively high-tech programs as part of their ongoing slate of educational programs, all based in Moose Jaw. The City of Moose Jaw, Sask Polytech and CAE – the military aviation contractor in charge of running training programs at 15 Wing – officially signed a memorandum of understanding last Friday morning for the development of an Unmanned Aerial Systems training program at Sask Polytech’s Moose Jaw campus.

The program will be largely based out of the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport, where a special hangar will be reserved specifically for Sask Polytech’s use.

Once in place, the program will offer a wide variety of training and skill applications with regards to drones, everything from operation to piloting and maintenance to testing and developing applications.

“It’s very important for the province and for our students and it’s something we’re really looking forward to seeing,” Rosia said. “We wanted to provide a facility where we could provide the latest training as well as research and application development for drones. Drones are becoming applied in almost every sector of our economy and the applications seem to be cropping up daily.”

From CAE’s perspective, having such a program available is something that neatly fits into their growing business model – having a new, trained workforce able to deal with the most modern of technology will be essential for

Sask Polytech president Dr. Larry Rosia, CAE vice president Joe Armstrong, Moose Jaw Mayor Fraser Tolmie and Jarrett Johnson of the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport Authority sign their respective memorandums of understanding on Friday. their wide variety of ongoing programs, according to vice president and general manager of CAE Canada Joe Armstrong.

“It’s very exciting for us on a number of different levels,” Armstrong said. “As a leading industrial member, we have a chance to shape opportunities for youth going through school, not just at the university level but at the high school level. As a business we see our workforce changing quite significantly over the years and it becomes quite critical for us to have new youth and new programs

to match the capabilities we need as a business and then match the universities and academic institutions that can actually build the right kind of expertise, skills and technological experience as they come into the workforce. So that’s a very import” Given how drone technology is still in its infancy for the most part, having people who are trained in using the equipment will be essential for future success and development, something Armstrong feels will be of benefit to CAE as soon as Sask Polytech sees individuals graduating from the programs.

“On the technical side, with these drones and unmanned aerial systems, there aren’t a lot of people who know how to deploy these kinds of capabilities in a way they can become useful,” Armstrong said. “On the training side, making sure we have people who are well-trained and can deploy that technology in a positive way is something very important to us.”

It’s all a win-win situation for the City of Moose Jaw, says mayor Fraser Tolmie. ”It’s a great opportunity because this creates a new opportunity, a new economy, new technologies to be used,” he said. “Whether it’s checking out crops for farmers or oil lines or hydro lines, maybe search-and-rescue applications. And with that comes other jobs with that. So, it’s great for the City of Moose Jaw to be in partnership with these organizations.”

Sunningdale river area dealing with beavers Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Normally, the City of Moose Jaw’s annual spring clean-up day has more of a light-hearted aspect to it – take a day, find an area the city has a designated need of help, and pick up trash and debris in the area to help beautify it for the summer months.

The year in Sunningdale, there was an extra aspect to the cleaning efforts. City workers and volunteers were also in the coulee next to the river wrapping and banding trees in chicken wire fencing with the goal of fending off regular and sustained damage from what has become an especially insidious foe: Castor canadensis or as it’s more commonly known as, the North American beaver.

“What we’re trying to do is wrap the larger trees to protect them from being destroyed by the beavers, and we have our culverts set up so if the beavers try to dam them up they can be easily cleared,” explained City of Moose Jaw communications director Craig Hemmingway. “Then if we are able to locate a beaver and spot one as happened in Crescent Park a few weeks ago, we use a pest control specialist to capture

the beaver and relocated it to Buffalo Pound Lake.”

The problem is a family of beavers has found their way into the coulee and despite regular control efforts has caused issues in the river area to the point where without intervention damage could be severe – ranging from destruction of large swaths of trees to heavy flooding that could cause major issues in the area.

“You want to protect the trees for the trees themselves and for our residents, we want to keep our city looking beautiful with a number of different trees, so we want to protect them the best we can and find that balance between protecting nature and protecting the animals that are doing the damage,” Hemingway said.

“It’s something we have to manage on an ongoing basis, Wakamow has the same kind of thing. Anywhere there’s water and trees you’re going to find beavers, so we have a rule of thumb that if the beaver is not causing harm we’ll let them be and if they’re causing damage we’ll isolate and relocate them.”

Letter to the Editor Ralph Courtnage expressed concern, in his letter to the editor (May 16th edition of the Moose Jaw Express) about the extremely low level of water in Spring Creek Park. His contention is that the low water level is because the old culverts were recently replaced where Spring Creek passes under 9th Avenue NW. Courtnage is certainly not the only local resident to notice the low water level. His concern warrants – at the very least – a response from the City.

69th Annual Moose Jaw Band & Choral Festival: The Tradition Continues…

Sasha-Gay Lobban

As locals welcomed the warm weather and sunshine across the Friendly City, the town also saw a boost in activities and foot traffic as up to 3,000 guests made their way to Moose Jaw for the 69th annual Moose Jaw Band and Choral Festival.

The Festival which saw visitors from across Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba ran for four days, May 14 to 17. The Festival is an annual tradition which hosts almost 100 bands and concert choirs participating in a non-competitive event. Bands and choirs showcased their skills at locations in town: Mae Wilson Theatre, A.E. Peacock Collegiate Auditorium, Zion United and St. Aiden Anglican Church.

The Festival committee says approximately 3,000 visitors came to the Friendly City, with hotel stays, meals, recreation and shopping, ultimately making a significant impact on the local economy. “We are proud of our tradition of providing excellent performances and learning opportunities for young musicians.

97 concert bands, jazz ensembles and choirs from Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba performed in venues throughout downtown during the non-competitive festival,” said Jennifer Tenford. Chair of the Moose Jaw Band and Choral Festival.

Each performance was followed by a 45-minute clinic with experienced music educators, that benefitted both students and their teachers alike. Concert band clinicians this year were Bill Kristjanson from Winnipeg, MB and Jim Finkbeiner, Kathie Van Lare and Kevin Williams from Calgary, AB. Saskatchewan talent Glen Gillis from Saskatoon and Greg McLean from Swift Current worked with both concert and jazz bands. Swift Current’s Marcia McLean and Stewart Wilkinson of Regina returned as choir clinicians.

From the clinics, clinicians spent time with the groups and gave them valuable feedback which will help them to hone their skills. The bands and choirs were applauded for the work they put into their performances, with clinicians also commending the groups for how quickly they learnt pointers provided to them for future performances.

Tenford says the committee is proud to continue this longstanding tradition. “It was a pleasure to welcome everyone to the annual Festival. We are proud of our tradition of providing excellent performances and learning opportunities for young our musicians and teachers. We thank all the committee members, sponsors and volunteers whose support and commitment make this festival successful year after year,” added Tenford as she welcomed everyone to the city for this year’s event.

Oak Tree Place gala raises funds for new addictions centre Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

If organizers Jody Oakes and Stacey Simms see their plans and vision for the future come to ultimate fruition, Moose Jaw will soon have a top-notch facility to help those recovering from addiction and mental health issues.

And Oak Tree Place will become a true oasis of hope for those who need it the most.

The duo held their first fundraising gala for their Oak Tree Place venture on May 12 at the Zion United Church, with dozens of supporters taking part in the event and raising funds through through dinner tickets and a special silent auction attended to by the Moose Jaw Thunder girls basketball club. Those in attendance had the opportunity to hear from some of the people who would benefit from Oak Tree Place, with their stories touching many hearts and solidifying support for the campaign.

It’s the start of a dream come true, through a combined quest to help those in need.

“Jody and I both have a passion for people in recovery and to see people succeed, so we started talking and realized that we shared each other’s vision and passion for people going through this and we asked ourselves what we could do,” said Simms. “We knew the city needed more and we just had to connect those dots. So it kind of naturally and organically happened and we created Oak Tree Place.”

The plan for the facility is for it to act as a catch-all for programs that will help those recovering from addictions of all types, as well as the mental health issues that can come with those problems.

“We’re going to have programming for people, things like budgeting or healthy cooking, resume writing for people who are trying to get back into the workforce,” said Oakes. “And most importantly building their own healthy relationships, their own self-esteem...The biggest thing is breaking down that barrier and stigma that’s attached to addiction, that’s what we really want to do.”

Things have moved incredibly fast in the early going.

The organizing group held their first unofficial meeting on May 8 and things have grown rapidly from there, to the point they already have a space for the facility secured in the lower level of the Salvation Army Thrift Shop. “t’s fantastic area and we can’t thank the Salvation Army enough,” Oakes said. “They’ve been amazing to us, they always want to work with the community and give back to the community, and it’s a great space. We have access to a full kitchen downstairs and if we’re cooking some-

thing and someone doesn’t have access to something they need, there’s a store upstairs. Or if they need clothing or a birthday card for someone... it all just fits right in.

“And having it so centrally located is really important too,” she added. “That way we can make sure that everybody in Moose Jaw can get to it and this place works out ideally, so we can’t the Salvation Army enough.”

The planned set-up will have Oak Tree Place largely act as a drop-in centre with scheduled activities. No referrals will be needed; those who could be in need of services will be able to select from whats available and take away from it what they can.

“We’ll have a schedule happening where they can see what they can do and they can join us there,” Simms said.

“If they do need outside services we want to connect them to that. We’re all about community and we want to build those strong relationships where they can get that help if they need an addictions counsellor or something along those lines.”

The most important thing? The cost.

Absolutely free.

And that’s where the fundraising comes in.

“Money can be a huge barrier when it comes to receiving this kind of help and we don’t need to add another layer of a barrier, so that’s why there’s no costs,” Oakes said.

“We don’t have any government funding right now, we’re a registered non-profit and we’re just really relying on the community to help us out as we get started... probably need around $3,000 a month to run it the way we’d like to see it with all the programs and things we’ll need to have it running the best it can.”

While that level of funding is still to come, there’s little question that a buzz is starting to build in the short time Oak Tree Place has been a concept “We’re building on that even right now, what is Oak Tree Place and what are you doing... people are reaching out to us and promoting us and word is starting to get out more and mor,” Simms said. “People are excited about it and it’s great how it’s moving forward.”

“It’s that one extra piece to help with people’s recovery; it’s not substituting or taking away from anything, it just something else to help people along, and any time we can do that, we’re going to what ever we can to help,” Oakes added.

On the Front Porch

‘Tis the season for graduations; my high school graduation was just a few days ago... 28 years, in fact. In some ways, it only feels like yesterday. In my small town, graduation is a big event. We spent months, as the Grads of 1990, planning for the day. A lot of thought, money and some drama were put into the effort. It seemed everyone had an opinion (all eight of us) and at times it was pretty intense and a lesson in compromise to make decisions. I decided it wasn’t worth the fight to get involved with the details and although I didn’t like the colors or decoration theme that was picked, I chose to have a great day and it ended up to be a fabulous and memorable time!

One thing that is constant as graduation comes and goes is the question one gets asked: “What are your plans following graduation?” I realize the question could just be a conversation starter but more times than not, it becomes the dreaded question most like to avoid. Big Sweet Pea has been asked more times than not as she takes on life after high school. I do not envy her! There are so many ways to go these days. I remember chatting with a friend older than me and she was saying how many opportunities are available in this present day; when she graduated, a girl basically had three options... nursing, secretary or teacher.

Recently, Big Sweet Pea and I were able to sit under the tutelage of Chip Brim, a high-level baseball coach and MLB scout, as he shared how to be a champion for Christ. He shared how the question posed to kids today of “what are your plans for your future?” puts tremendous pressure on them to have their life figured out. Instead, he encouraged us to know it is not our job to figure out the plan for our lives. God has the plan. Our job is to seek God, not the plan. God knows the end from the beginning! He knows what is best for our lives. He created us. He has the plan; He has a book of destinies for all of us. “Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed, and in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.” We just need to follow Him and He will show the plan.

A successful, fulfilling, happy life will look like this; God makes a move. Then we make a move. Then God makes a move... then He’s waiting on us to make the move. He takes ALL the pressure off of performance; of coming up with a plan. It sounds easy... but it takes faith to do it. It takes honor and reverence to trust He has the plan and to rest in His plan as we seek Him and do our part. God will do His part when we do our part. He is waiting on us to walk it out by faith.

God does not pressure us. In fact, He wants to assure us that He’s already been to our future and knows how it works out; He wants to give us the secrets to living it out fully. “The secret of the Lord is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant.” In any decision that is ahead (regardless of our age), remember... God has the plan. You will discover it by prayer and seeking God. Scripture references: Psalm 139:16, Psalm 25:14

You find individuals all over the world that thrive on ‘control’. They want to run every organization for recognition and pats on the back, but the price they pay to get it may one day be their demise.

Then, others stroke those egos by patronizing them.

There are so many things going on under the banner of City Hall that make me want to shake my head.

Joan Ritchie EDITOR It seems like nothing is done above board; is it all secrets and lies?

Firstly, it’s about the tourism booth placement last week that basically is impeding walking-traffic on the corner of River Street and Main. I am wondering if any business now can put up a shed on a public city sidewalk? Seems like others should get the same opportunity to do so, too? Also wondering if this shed has a city business license of its own?

Are there not city bylaws regarding city walkways or are rules made up as we go? I understand that Moose Jaw is governed by city bylaws but the way I am seeing it, a blind eye is turned to some and others are held to account for the things they want to do. There seems to be some discrepancies as far as we can see.

Because the Moose Jaw Express has a reporter covering city hall’s goings-on, I get the low down and heard that the director of Tourism Moose Jaw made a glowing presentation during her annual report during the May 14th Council Meeting. Tourism Moose Jaw highlighted an increase of membership there to 171 now. Woo Hoo!!! And of course, Moose Jaw Mayor Tolmie, the total politician he is, stroked the director’s ego and commended her on a job well done.

I wonder how many others have heard what we have heard?

That there have been certain businesses that have wanted to be a part of Sidewalk Days but were coerced into becoming a member of Tourism Moose Jaw just so that their business could participate in the annual Sidewalk Days Festival. It has also come to our attention that this year, the festival is being run under the umbrella of Tourism Moose Jaw with a hope of making a profit for Tourism Moose Jaw, whereas in the past it was basically a wash, run by volunteers. If this is so, then for sure the community will want to know if Tourism Moose Jaw is in the business of making money, they probably won’t need to receive their annual allotment from the city to keep running. Maybe this could be the money that the mayor said they couldn’t find this year during budget time, when they dipped their fingers deeper into the residents’ pockets.

Something of particular interest is that Tourism Moose Jaw gets about $89,000/year from the City of Moose Jaw to operate out of their location on Thatcher Drive in a building that was appraised at approximately $900,000 in 1999. Seems like we maybe have found some extra cash for the city to subsidize some of the infrastructure upgrades: sell the building on Thatcher and let Tourism Moose Jaw run out of a couple of sheds on the streets. I’m thinkin’ they wouldn’t need as much money to operate or for wages.

Another saga in “As the stomach turns…”

If you are one of those businesses that was coerced into becoming a member of Moose Jaw Tourism just so you could have a booth at this year’s Sidewalk Days, why don’t you give me a call at 306.694.1322 or an email at editor@mjvexpress. com . Maybe even give our fair mayor a call just to let him know what exactly has been going on under his nose.

It seems to me, the way this city is run is getting to be more like a three-ring circus everyday.

High Street West is supposed to be a paved four-lane major throroughfare -- a far cry from the pothole-strewn, gravel-covered mess as seen last Friday afternoon.

City takes over High Street repairs Special meeting of council decides to remove contractor, begin roadwork immediately Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw city council, city administration and citizens, in general, finally reached their breaking point.

At a special meeting last Friday morning, the final decision was made by council quickly and without debate: the City of Moose Jaw would be taking over the High Street West resurfacing project effective immediately, with work expected be begin with all haste.

Whether or not a CAA report ranking High Street West as the worst road in Saskatchewan played a role in the rapid proceedings last week is moot; what is fact is that council decided enough was enough and dismissed the Unger Construction -- the contractor originally in charge of the resurfacing -- from the project.

Only Coun. Dawn Luhning and Mayor Fraser Tolmie were able to be present for the meeting in council chambers, other councillors joined in by conference call. There was almost a sense of anger as the decision was made and the votes to proceed were read off, all passing unanimously.

Such will be the case when a major four-lane thoroughfare is reduced to near impassable potholes and crumbling pavement for much of it’s western span – and the problem has been ongoing for over six months.

“Obviously we have to dot our I’s and cross our T’s, but this is the right way forward for the citizens of Moose Jaw and the businesses that have been affected by the construction work,” Tolmie said. “So we want to get ‘er done.”

The decision is expected to bring legal challenges from the contractor that could attempt to muddy the works, but as of May 15, City of Moose Jaw work crews will begin resurfacing the entire run of High Street West – as rapid a deployment for such a major project as possible.

“I can’t comment on (legal issues), obviously, but what we have to do is protect the citizens of Moose Jaw as much as we can but also the businesses that are affected,” Tolmie said. “That’s the fine line we have to walk at City Hall, but enough is enough. When you get voted the top three worst roads in Saskatchewan and one of them is due to construction and one is a water main break and the other is a sewer break... we’re here in this business to get things fixed and get things done.”

The damage to the street had severely restricted traffic in the area, to the point that many drivers are opting to take the smaller side streets as opposed to High Street West.

That reduction in traffic has hit the afore-mentioned busi-

nesses hard, to the point that some had seen much of their traffic disappear.

The finalization of the resurfacing and repair plan fell to new city manager Jim Puffalt, who has only been on the job for a few months. He was impressed with what he’s seen from the City when it comes to speed of resolution and hopes the work itself will go just as quickly.

“Certainly the team has been working on this for a long time trying to get this resolved, and what we’ll see is crews getting out there to get things resolved and get at it,” Puffalt said. “It’s our highest priority right now, and I can’t thank the team enough for getting it to this point... it was a tough decision to make and I think council made the right decision. In the end you have to look our for your customers and your citizens and that’s what we’re doing “It’s a last resort, we have no other choice and we have to get this project done as soon as possible.”

Questions have been raised as to why it took so long for the decision to be made, but taking the nuclear option put forth Friday only came after all other avenues were exhausted.

“I can’t make any comments as to the legal issues behind this, but this is the right time,” Tolmie said. “We’re moving forward and we’re going to deal with getting High Street fixed and if there are any legal issues, that will be a separate issue. We need to get focussed on getting the road fixed, and getting it fixed as soon as possible.”

There is no timeline for when the work will be completed, but because the water and sewer infrastructure is already in place, Puffalt expects the resurfacing to be finished in rapid succession.

Arrangements entrusted to

Emilia was born in the Ponteix, SK area where she received her education. In 1934, the family moved to Val Marie, SK and in 1941 she married Pierre Pinel. Her first 2 children, Denise and Leo, were born at home and the third, Louis, was born at Cadillac, SK. In 1946 Emilia, Pierre and the children moved to Mission, BC. There Yvette, Helen, Florence, Lucille, and Claire were born. In 1954, the family moved to Moose Jaw, SK where Emile and Roger were born. Pierre passed away in 1985 and Emilia remained in their home in Moose Jaw until she moved to Foyer St. Joseph Nursing Home in Ponteix in 2011. The only service club Emilia ever belonged to was the Catholic Women’s League, but her life was a life of total service, raising her children and taking an active role with her grandchildren and occasionally nieces and nephews. Her love for the little ones was always evident. She loved children. She doted on the children and they loved her. There were few luxuries in her life and she never expected any.
