Warren Michelson, MLA

September is here and school has started. More than 182,000 students and 13,000 teachers are back in classrooms at hundreds of schools across the province.

A good education is the foundation for a stable and successful future. The dedicated work of teachers, school staff, and school boards improves quality of education and keeps our province growing stronger.

Since 2007, forty new or replacement schools have been built, and 25 schools have had major renovations. More than 840 teachers and 167 student support staff have been added. Over a period in which enrolment grew 13 per cent, operating funding has increased by 35 per cent.

Last fall 18 new schools opened around the province. This year’s budget puts a strong focus on high-quality learning and support services in education. An additional 30 million dollars to school

divisions will support students in the classroom through the hiring of up to 400 teachers and other educational support staff. Investments in Prekindergarten will support the early development of more than 5,000 three and four-year old children; to help them succeed in their first years at school. Individualized funding for children under six with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and a new early learning pilot program for preschool-aged children who are deaf and hard of hearing will also help young students get a strong start in school.

Every student that enters our classrooms is unique and has their own ‘best way’ of learning. We appreciate the efforts put forth by teachers and school staff as they rise to this challenge in many creative initiatives. The Ministry of Education is committed to working with teachers, school staff and all our education partners toward the success and well-being of all Saskatchewan learners.

Recent statistics for Saskatchewan post-secondary education are encouraging. Over the past five years, the total number of students at Saskatchewan’s three largest institutions has increased on average by 1.9 per cent annually. In the fall of 2017, there were more than 42,500 students enrolled in credentialed programs. Particularly encouraging is the number

Students considering furthering their education by attending universities, colleges or trade schools may consider available assistance through support programs. Post-secondary students can find information and applications for student loans, grants, bursaries and scholarships at Saskatchewan.ca.

School zones that were quiet for the past two months are buzzing with activity as excited students meet with their friends and head to their classrooms this week. Drivers need to be extra cautious; especially in the first few weeks when students are more likely to be distracted. Thank you to school crossing guards who give their time to keep their fellow students safe.

Harvest equipment will be sharing rural roads with school buses. Please watch out for the school bus “do not pass� flashing red lights, and the “slow vehicle� signs on farm equipment.

I wish a successful and fulfilling school year to students of all ages, and to those who are dedicated to their learning.

Downtown MJ Assoc. moves into second phase of planning to improve downtown experience Sasha-Gay Lobban The Downtown Moose Jaw Association says the public will be seeing several developments downtown as they move into their second phase of planning that will enhance Moose Jaw’s downtown experience for locals, businesses and visitors.

The Association met on Monday, August 27 at the Moose Jaw Public Library to discuss ideas that will improve downtown and stimulate more business and public engagement.

Vicki Watson, business owner and chair of the Downtown Association, says the goal of the meeting is to provide a brief and formal update of what they have been working on to date.

She says some of the progress so far includes updating a current communication list for downtown businesses. “At this meeting, we’re basically trying to formulate our next 30-60-90-day action plan where we’re trying to come up with actional items that are crucial to the success of our downtown. This is our second phase of planning.”

Watson said one of the immediate actions that the Association is working on is lighting for the downtown area that will make it more attractive. “We have been working on trying to finalize a lighting strategy for our downtown.

We would like to have soft white lights that are able to be used year-round at an affordable price.”

The Association has also been working with the Saskatchewan Economic Development Authority (SEDA) as a pilot project, establishing an association of dedicated downtown Moose Jaw business people over the last several months.

Vicki Watson addresses the Downtown Association meeting.

The group says their strategy is to improve downtown and keep it viable for years to come and to bring businesses together to succeed. “We have also been working on some marketing initiatives and the incorporation of our group. We’ve been working with Saskatchewan Economic Development Authority (SEDA) to spearhead our group into a more formal group. We do not have funding at this time, but we are working on getting interested participants in working to enhance our downtown,” she explained.

The Association recently facilitated a community engagement survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ DowntownMJEngagement) and is working on continued collective marketing initiatives with a marketing sub-committee.

We really want to focus on what our downtown looks like and should look like, as we go about enhancing its beauty and its experience.”

Watson added that the overall goal is to keep downtown active all year so that it will keep attracting locals and visitors. “We’d like to also attract more businesses that will serve downtown and stay viable. We’ve been working on identifying vacancy rates and understanding what the public wants to see in downtown.”

“We also want to have more public events downtown, as well as enhancing the ones we already have, and an extension of events for our shoulder season—February and March, as well as April,” she said. “Moose Jaw has a really unique experience to offer and we want to build on that and we hope to see more business engagement.”

She said the Association is looking forward to putting plans into actions as they move to improve Moose Jaw’s downtown. “I’m excited that many persons turned out at this meeting and I’m looking forward to building on the great ideas and moving forward. People will see more in the next 90 days and they will see staple events getting bigger. It is an integrated approach where businesses are working together with the City, and other groups, to ensure we all achieve the same goal.”

Megan Nash continues to see her music - and her career - evolve at a rapid rate Fans of Moose Jaw songstress Megan Nash might be a bit surprised after listening to her newest album. ‘Seeker’ is unlike almost anything she has put together in the past – and that was almost completely by design.

Take the album’s second track…’Lavender and Leather’ not only features backing band Bears in Hazenmore – as is the case throughout the album – but the music video for the song is a dance-filled rocking departure from much of her previous work.

The rest of ‘Seeker’ follows suit. It’s a different sound and look for a solo artist largely known for her country/ folk/heavy girl-and-her-guitar performances.

“It’s a different perspective. People have been saying ‘well, where are the solo songs?’ and then when I play solo they’re ‘where’s the full band?’” Nash said with a laugh, prior to her headline performance at the recent Band City Fest.

“There’s certain elements where having a full-production album has made it more palatable for radio play.

My last album, ‘Song Harvest’, was just vocal and guitar, which I still got a lot of love for locally, thank you Mix 103 for all the plays, but as far as on a national level, I also have a label backing this record, too (Acronym Records) which helps and changes things a bit for me. So, there’s been that support and that’s been really great.”

Nash’s show at Band City Fest marked her first performance in Moose Jaw with Bears in Hazenmore and featured many of the tunes from Seeker, as well as a handful of popular covers.

“It’s been really cool to have them performing with me.

When you play solo, you’re limited to the opening spots or the in-between spots, but now I’m putting on a full band show, which is a great feeling;” she said, “more high energy and it feels more like rock and roll.”

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express That’s not to say Nash’s history as a solo performer is completely over. After playing the Jasper Folk Music Festival and Serenity Harvest Music Festival over the Sept. 7 weekend, she has a tour of Ontario in the works.

After that, she’ll be taking another solo tour of Europe, after playing Germany and the U.K. earlier this year.

“It’s good that I (tour solo) too, because it keeps me from getting too soft on the banter. When I’m solo, my story-telling carries me quite a bit, and when I’m with the band, I don’t talk as much... I like to have a lot of fun with that,” she said. “It’s really important to me to have the solo stuff remain as part of my career.”

Supporting ‘Seeker’ over the last year has been Nash’s main focus when it comes to performances, and it’s added an interesting wrinkle to her creative process. Earlier in her career, new music was a regular occurrence, even from show to show. Now, things are quite a bit different, especially with full studio productions in the works.

“I’m not in that headspace yet; I used to be all the time, though,” she said of writing new music. “I’d write a song and then be so excited, I’d play it right away. Now, that new song, by the time you work it out in the studio and start promoting the record, it’s going to be kind of old. So, I’m trying to be more organized, documenting what I’m writing and then bringing out all the new stuff in one wave. I’ve never done that before so I’m trying it out and seeing how it feels.”

There’s still plenty to do day-to-day, though, and that’s kept Nash busy, even when she isn’t preparing for a show.

“Everybody I talk to is like ‘oh wow, you’re working hard’. And I think a big part of that is social media, it’s so valuable to someone like myself,” she said. “I create a free account and I can immediately share with people what’s going on and what I’m doing, and I can share what’s going on behind the scenes more than ever, which can be good and bad, but it all helps.”

That hard work combined with her musical style has started to draw more and more notice, even resulting in a handful of accolades.

Nash was recently announced as one of five bands up for the BreakOut Artist of the Year as part of the Western Canadian Music Awards at the Breakout/West festival.

Making the honour extra special is her familiarity with some of her fellow nominees – she’s taken the stage alongside Regina’s The Dead South and opened for B.C. ‘s Shred Kelly on her recent European sojourn.

“So it’s so cool to share that space with them,” Nash said. “It’s just an honour to be nominated, really, it really is. Those are the things you never want to take for granted; it means a lot and I just really appreciate the nod.”

It all rolled into Nash’s performance at Band City Fest, an 18-band one-day music festival in Crescent Park. It

was the first of its kind in many years and something that came together as a brainchild of John Dale from Johnny 2 Fingers and the Deformities.

“I’m so glad that John put this together... it’s been neat to see it evolve into something and it’s important for it to happen,” Nash said. “Events like this mean a lot to the community, for the local artists, for local musicians and to have them seen by people in the community. It’s a lot of blood, sweat and tears that go into events like this and I hope that it continues and people come out to support events like this and hear the music that’s being produced in their own backyard by the people they interact with every day.”

Around 200 people were in the Crescent Park amphitheatre stands for Nash’s Saturday-evening show, continuing the long-standing support she’s received from her home city. That support has come through in a number of ways over the years, some of them rather unique.

Like the Co-Op gas station on Thatcher Drive that has sold her CDs for years.

“That’s awesome, because the physical stores, there’s no CD Plus in the mall anymore,” she said. “So the question is,’where do local bands sell their music, and the fact a gas station is willing to sell them for me is amazing. And you’d think I wouldn’t sell that many units, but I actually do, through the gas station. And I just really appreciate that.”

All in all, it’s become plenty clear that Nash’s work as a musician and songwriter won’t be slowing down any time soon.

“It’s been busy and will be busy, but I’m so grateful that I get to see as much of the world as I do while pursuing my dream and my career... I know I’m lucky to be able to do it and it’s a privilege and I’m really grateful,” she said. “The last year has been really amazing.”

Band City Fest a major hit

Event brings 18 bands to Moose Jaw for full day of festival fun in Crescent Park.

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Wrangle up an eclectic mix of 18 bands from all over western Canada to come to Moose Jaw for a full day of music in Crescent Park and you’ve got Band City Fest; that’s what master-mind John Dale did to make it happen.

The end result was hundreds of people hitting the Crescent Park amphitheatre for the first ever Band City Fest on Saturday, Aug. 25, an event that ran from early afternoon to late in the evening and featured a wide mix of both solo performers and groups, culminating with a headline performance by Megan Nash and a threeband after-party set at the Park Hotel.

“It’s a good turnout and I’m really happy that we’re on time so far; we’re doing good,” Dale said just prior to taking

“And it’s great to see this many people out, all age groups and everything. That’s awesome.”

Band City Fest was a labour of love for Dale, and while putting it together took plenty of time and effort, seeing it all play out and feature the high quality of music that it did was especially positive.

“Everyone has played really excellent; we have people from Red Deer and all over the place,” Dale said. “I’m really happy that it came together so well; it was just knowing the people to contact and there are lots of people involved in bringing this kind of thing together.”

While there have been outdoor music festivals in the Moose Jaw area in the past, it had been some time since one was inside the city itself. Dale felt it was time that issue was remedied.

“I know people were asking about something like this. We used to do something call Summerfest a few years ago and this was missing,” he said. “We like to do

Brain Boogie raises awareness of brain injuries Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Saskatchewan Brain Injury Association wants everyone in the province to know that if they or someone in their family have suffered a brain injury, the SBIA is there for them.

That’s the central message behind the organization’s annual Brain Boogie charity walk and run event, which took place on Sunday, Aug. 26 in Moose Jaw, launching from the Crescent Park amphitheatre.

A decent crowd of supporters braved the chilly and wet conditions to take part in this year’s walk, something SBIA executive director Glenda James was happy to see.

“It’s was pretty good, we’re around 30 people today and it’s a good turnout,” she said just prior to heading out on the circuit herself. “We know there are more brain injury survivors in the city but, at the moment, they aren’t well connected to us. Each year we hear from new people, I’ve been doing publicity around the province for the last few weeks and my phone has been ringing off the hook. So that’s what we want to happen.”

The Brain Boogie annually raises around $50,000 for the SBIA, with those funds going back into supporting programs for those who have suffered brain injuries. While that money is especially appreciated, the Boogie is just as much about raising awareness of such injuries and the help SBIA can provide.

“It’s not every fundraiser where you meet the people who are directly benefiting from the funds that are raised, but that’s the case with the Brain Boogie all around the province,” James said. “We

like to make sure that people understand what a brain injury means to people. It affects their entire life and there’s no cure for a brain injury. They’ll often live a normal life span but with the injury, so they need a lot of support.”

That includes their families and friends, which is a large part of what the SBIA is all about.

“We’re about preventing brain injuries because there is no cure and we’re about peer support because it’s a lifelong impact, and that’s what the money goes to,” James said. “We want people to know that if you suffer a brain injury, we’re here for you and your family.”

One of the organization’s focus is the Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime mantra: the number one cause of brain injury is a fall from a height, with motor vehicle accidents a close second, and no one is immune. A recent uptick in all-terrain vehicle accidents involving children also drew special mention from James.

“It’s a pretty complex and dangerous hobby, so they need to wear a helmet at least,” she said.

All-in-all, SBIA hopes the Brain Boogie will at the very least help someone struggling with brain injury issues find them and reach out.

“Unfortunately people don’t understand brain injuries and tend to go on about their lives and end up leaving that person very isolated and the family very isolated,” James said. “So we try to break that isolation and offer them as much assistance as we can.”

The Yara Community Garden Farmer’s Market was the place to be on Saturday, August 25 if you were looking for the freshest produce you could find in Moose Jaw. “It’s all locally-grown produce, organic and pesticide-free and grown from our gardens right here in Moose Jaw,� said Jeremy Zacharias, garden co-ordinator for Yara Community Gardens. “ And not only do we have produce, we have canning and baking plus a pancake breakfast from Riverside Mission... a little bit of something for everyone.�

The event ran throughout Saturday morn-

ing and saw a steady stream of patrons, and by the early afternoon the pickings were getting slim at some tables – exactly as planned. “With the cooler weather, we expected there to be fewer folks than last year, but everything is still going,� Zacharias said. “There’s a great buzz and it’s great to be in the community and see everyone here, and everything is selling out which is what we want to see.�

The wide variety of food on hand offered a unique aspect to things, with some tables featuring fare that wouldn’t immediately come to mind at a Moose Jaw farmer’s market. That’s due to the wide range of cultures that use the Community Gardens, with different ethnicities

and backgrounds bringing a taste of their home country, Zacharias explained. “For some of them, it’s what was grown at home on the farm; it’s familiar and loved by them and they want to be able to share that with everyone,� he added.

Based on what he’s seen throughout the morning, Zacharias expected to see another solid donation to the Hunger in Moose Jaw program, likely in the $2,000 range as in past years. “Every dollar helps support Hunger in Moose Jaw and the great stuff that they do, they’re a great part of the community gardens with their Child Nutrition Program and everything that they do is a pleasure to be involved with,� he said.

TRADING THOUGHTS

Bernier’s new party could test the Canadian multicultural fabric

by Ron Walter

Canadian politics took an interesting twist in August when high profile Conservative MP Maxime Bernier announced he will start his own political party.

Bernier, a former Steven Harper Conservative cabinet minister who was fired for leaving classified documents at his girlfriend’s place, is best known as the candidate who almost won the leadership of the Progressive Conser-

vative Party of Canada.

Baby-faced Andrew Scheer from Regina narrowly defeated Bernier in an anybody but Bernier final ballot.

Bernier has been in a snoot ever since, thumbing his nose at party unity with statements declaring extreme cultural diversity is bad for Canada and promoting vague Canadian values.

His statements contradict official Conservative Party policy and leader Andrew Scheer. Scheer has been unable to control Bernier.

Speculation abounds on how successful Bernier will be with his new, as of yet, unnamed libertarian-based party.

According to polls asking about a theoretical libertarian party, only two per cent of Canadians support the idea.

But Bernier wants to appeal to a much wider audience

Stained Glass Classes

 Â? Â? Â?Â?Â

than libertarian desires to minimize all government rules.

The Quebec MP wants to benefit from uncomfortable feelings across the country about acceptance of refugee immigrants and the flow of non-white, non-Christian immigrants.

Polls show two-thirds of Canadians harbour some sort of concern with immigration policies and the flow of immigrants.

Don’t bet on the pundits who describe Bernier and his party as a flash in the pan with no organization, no big financial backers.

There is deep-seated concern with immigration around the world. It seems freedom of religion is fine among some people as long as it is the religion in the Christian variety.

The youthful French president Macron came out of nowhere to win with a new unknown party. Trump came out of the far corner in left field to win. Strength of the Brexit movement in the U.K. surprised the world.

Bernier’s action could spell disaster for Scheer and his Conservatives. If Bernier only sucks away a few per cent from Scheer, the Liberals are almost guaranteed re-election.

History tells us the Conservatives kept Liberals in power when the right-wing vote was split between the Reform Party and the Progressive Conservatives.

Time and the impact of current events will dictate success of the Bernier Party. A traumatizing terrorist event

or events at the right time and place could shift support.

Canada has seen a number of political parties come out of the grass, make a brief impact and disappear, or virtually disband – from the farm-based western Progressive movement to Social Credit to the Bloc in Quebec.

Single purpose political parties tend to not have long lives.

Bernier’s political fate could parallel that of Liberal cabinet minister and failed leadership candidate Paul Hellyer in the 1970s.

Dissatisfied with Liberal housing policy, the outspoken Hellyer started his own party, the Action Party. The party never got off the ground. Hellyer finally joined ranks with the Opposition Party.

Or Bernier could tap into latent racism across the country, radically changing the face of Canadian politics and international relations.

Bernier’s divisive actions may test the notion that Canadians think differently from Americans on certain issues.

CNIB Peer Support Group to start in Moose Jaw; volunteers needed Sasha-Gay Lobban

Persons suffering from permanent or partial vision loss in Moose Jaw will now be able to receive peer support as the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) will be starting a peer group locally.

The Peer Group will run once a month on the third Tuesday of the month starting Tuesday, September 18th. It will be held at Caleb Village from 1:00-2:30pm.

CNIB says that for individuals 55+ who are blind or partially sighted, this group allows participants to connect with others who are experiencing similar circumstances; to participate in social gatherings, and the opportunity to learn from guest speakers about a variety of relevant topics.

“There have been quite a few requests for a group of this kind in Moose Jaw and to help to serve our clients we decided it was a great opportunity to serve the blind and partially sighted people in Moose Jaw,” said Ashley Nemeth, Program Lead, Community Engagement and

Advocacy.

She says, however, that they are looking for volunteers

University hearing study seeks participants.

Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge and if appropriate, the clinician may discuss hearing rehabilitation options including hearing aids. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada.

Why participate in the hearing study?

Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the need to better understand how hearing

loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully.

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away.

In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2.

This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day.

By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study.

in Moose Jaw to make this support group a success.

“Someone to lead this group is needed. The Vision Mate Program matches individuals living with vision loss with specially-trained volunteers who offer companionship and one-on-one assistance with day-to-day tasks and errands.”

Vision mate volunteers assist individuals with a variety of activities, including reading mail, grocery shopping, errands, labeling and organizing household items, as well as enjoying leisure and recreational activities together – like playing cards and going for walks. “This is a chance to get some support and ideas from others with vision loss. It is an informal social time for people.

It will also be a place to get information on things like doing day to day tasks like cooking and grocery shopping for those with vision loss. There will also be guest speakers that will be decided based on the interests and needs of those who attend,” Nemeth added.

Task force studying the future of YMCA’s Fairford location Matthew Gourlie -- Moose Jaw Express

The future of the Crescent Park location of the Moose Jaw Family YMCA is being studied by a six-person task force.

The Moose Jaw Family YMCA’s seven-member board of directors put a motion on the books earlier this year to close their Fairford Street location and look for ways to use their second location and other local facilities to maintain services as best they can.

Unsurprisingly, that sparked a reaction from the YMCA membership.

“The board decided to put the breaks on, let this task force see the information and then go forward. My hunch is that we are going to be exiting the building, but we’ll wait and see what happens,” said Jeff Fox, CEO of the Moose Jaw Family YMCA. The task force will have the opportunity to bring forward recommendations to the board on Sept. 30. The Moose Jaw Family YMCA will hold its annual general meeting on Oct. 16 “There has been a task force struck to review all of the information that the board of directors has received in order to inform them on a decision to be made on Fairford,” Fox said. “They’re going to bring a recommendation or recommendations -- if they so choose -- to the board for the September 30th board meeting.

“They are seeing the information; the board will have to make that decision, so the picture should be much clearer for them.”The fate of the Fairford Street facility is ultimately in the hands of the board.

Even if the task force recommends a solution that would see the YCMA remain in the Fairford facility, the board could still reject that recommendation and vote to relocate.

AD #: 4.79 x 10

“Ultimately, it’s the board of directors decision, which way to go, because they govern on behalf of the membership,” said Fox who is not a board member.

The YMCA held a special meeting of its membership on June 25 at the request of some of their members to discuss the possible closure. Out of that meetin, a task force was struck to review decisions related to the Fairford facility. Five members also put their names forward seeking a position on the board of directors at the AGM. Interested members also applied to be part of the task force, which is made up of Jeremy Brehm, Errol Fonger, Barry Gunther, Tania Korbo, Elise Melanson and Cheryl Whitehead.

The operating costs are the chief concern with the Fairford Street location.

The future of the building has been debated for years, but the YMCA got serious about debating what to do with the facility in December of 2017.

“It’s a very expensive building to heat.

It’s an expensive building to be in,” Fox said. “When it was constructed in 1972, there was/is no insulation in that cinder block. Zero. That’s the main reason. If the Y were to stay, there is some capital that would have to be addressed -- we’re talking in the millions. Anywhere between $1-3 million. It can be debated what that number is, but it’s the on-going operating costs that are the problem.”

They have been operating at a loss for the past three years.

The YMCA has a second location on Athabasca Street next to the Co-Op. “Most members go to Athabasca,” Fox said. “We have to do what’s best for the YMCA in the long run.”

YMCA basement re-opens after summer flood

Matthew Gourlie - Moose Jaw Express

After a summer flood, the Moose Jaw Family YMCA basement has been repaired and renovated.

A water main break caused flood waters to rush into the basement in their Crescent Park location at the end of May. The basement facilities re-opened fully last week -- just in time for the Y’s ‘before and after’ school program starts.

“It’s nice that they will have their home base back,” said Jeff Fox, CEO of the Moose Jaw Family YMCA. “It’s good to have it back up and running because the kids are back on Monday.”

The flood occurred at the end of May just as the 75 students in this program were ready to move outside for the summer.

“We still had our before and after school program going and we temporarily moved that program in to one of the Holy Trinity schools. So a big thank you to them to house us,” Fox said. “Not long after that, summer camp started and the whole camp moved down to Wakamow.

If there is a good time to flood, it is this summer because all of our programs are off-site basically.”

This caused the entire facility to be shut down while the water to the building was

sub-floor that was wet so all of that had to come out.”

All things considered, the damage could have even been worse.

“The racquetball courts were untouched, luckily,” Fox said. “We have two sump pumps down between the courts and there’s also about a foot step before you walk onto the courts. It was right there.

Those sump pumps saved that floor. We burnt one out and there was one left functioning before the water could be turned off. We were lucky because I can’t even imagine what that would have cost.”

Jeff Fox, CEO of the Moose Jaw Family YMCA, stands in the classroom for the before and after school program at the YMCA that is nearing completion after renovations. Matthew Gourlie photograph shut off. They were able to transfer some of their programs to their Athabasca St. location, but their YMCA Healthy Kids Day had to be postponed.

“It was a bit of a wake-up call knowing the pipe in this building is also 50 years old,” Fox said. “A main right outside of the building burst and where it broke it just flooded right down that fire exit.

There was nowhere for that water to go.

It was going down the street too, but it was going in our building at a pretty brisk

pace.”

While the raquetball courts narrowly escaped damage, the rest of the basement required extensive repairs. All told, the entire project was more than $100,000.

“It was quite a process because there was quite a bit of water down there,” Fox said. “It took at least a couple of weeks just to dry it out properly and then the restoration happened.”

“It was a big project. Obviously all of the flooring was re-done. There was some

Air BnBush

DOWN ON THE

CORNER

I noticed my neighbour’s brand-new riding mower/tractor and when I demonstrated my mower envy, I asked for the details and he was eager to share. He began by bragging about a bunch of boring technical details, including how

by Dale “bushy” Bush much he spent. When he told me the cost, my mower envy was mulched, although I was grateful to have a self-propelled walk behind lawn mower. I know my neighbour is on a fixed income and when I asked if he could afford it, he said he has been renting his basement out by the night on Air BnB and because we live in a popular summer spot, he has been busy. When he told me how much he was getting for the use of his empty bedroom, I was shocked...and extremely jealous and interested.

I asked Mrs. B if we could rent our spare room.

She laughed and suggested that I may not be able to wear my underwear around the house. She jokingly suggested I rent out my treehouse. Hmmm…that got my greedy little mind thinking; I know there is a market for unusual ways to spend the night with nature and camp-out. My treehouse, which is an on-

going project for my granddaughter and myself, is actually quite posh with two levels (10’x10’ lower and 12’x12’ upper), rattan furniture and mats with a half-size wood burning cook stove. Surrounded on three sides by railings made from branches, it is a favorite hangout spot year-round. In real estate terms, it comes with a quaint outdoor cooking area and cold running water, which translates into a campfire ring and a garden hose.

I’m not sure what the motivation was, but Mrs. B suggested that in order to get a real idea of the treehouse camping experience, I should go camping in my backyard treehouse and get an understanding of the pro’s and con’s. No problem because I am an experienced camper. I was eager to get back to spending some time with Mother Nature, even if it was only 100 feet from “civilization” and my flush toilet. The upper deck was big enough to set up a modest tent with room for some furniture. When I found some old camping foamies, I realized that I had not used them for ages. I did the math and it has been almost 22 years since the camping foamies and sleeping bags have been used.

Of course, they both needed replacement. We had moved from tenting to RVing and then to a cabin, so our foamies and bags were relegated to guest status and less than regular use.

Once I got the sleeping details worked out, I was

excited to have an outdoor sleepover with myself but I was briefly concerned about the “myself” part of the plan. Without my old departed dog Timber at my side, it was a lonely night, made lonelier by the current campfire ban. As darkness (a phobia of mine) began to share my treehouse, I lit a few lanterns and relaxed enough to eventually retire for the night. Or so I thought!

I’m not paranoid but it seemed that Mother Nature was conspiring to make my night in the treehouse a true experience. Squirrels were dropping pine cones on the tight fabric roof, which sounded like a drum. Having my cat, Ella, rub the pole of the tent shook the tent and my nerves, too. Every little noise seemed to be amplified; I was sure there was a Sasquatch raiding my garden at one point.

There were lessons learned. It will be quite a while before the Tree House Camping experience will be available on Air BnB…a long while.

Saskatchewan harvest pace just zipping along For Agri-Mart Express

AGRIMART

EXPRESS Harvest completion was twice the five-year average rate for the week ended August 27.

Twenty -seven per cent was in the bin compared with 13 per cent over five years.

Early maturity and dry weather have allowed farmers to proceed full steam ahead.

The harvest approached the halfway mark in the southeast and southwest with 42 per cent and 46 per cent combined respectively.

Pulse crops were most advanced with 76 per cent of peas, 74 per cent of lentils and 12 per cent of chickpeas in the

bin.

Thirty -two per cent of durum, 16 per cent of spring wheat and seven per cent of canola is done. Forty-three per cent of canola was ready to cut Thirty per cent of mustard was off with one per cent of flax.

Sixteen per cent of barley and 19 per cent of oats were done Yields vary greatly depending on

where isolated rains fell.

Provincially, only one-quarter of crop land had adequate moisture with 41 per cent very short.

On pastures and hay land, 79 per cent is short or very short of moisture. Lots of south and central areas have gone two months without significant moisture.

For Moose Jaw Express

On our family’s trek here and there and back and forth in search of photographic and wordsmith inspiration, most of our stops are made for birds and four-footed wildlife, in addition to interesting structures of ar-

chitectural stability.

For some reason, Housemate, who normally rides the shot-gun position, is enamoured with hawks and turkey vultures. If one were to count his inventory of photographs, there is no doubt hawks would figure prominently in the cache of travel photos.

As we drive along, he sits there poised for me to make an immediate stop, whether it be on a well-travelled highway or a narrow and gravel-ridged rural grid road — his eagle eye has spotted a hawk on a fence post or sunning itself on a large round hay bale.

“Back up and shut off the radio,” he hisses, as though I don’t know the routine by now.

After carefully checking for traffic behind me, I reverse and head to the side of the road, fingers crossed that the ditch is relatively low and there’s a shoulder wide enough to accommodate a nature photographer in an SUV. The window moves down and the longrange camera lens is extended for closer visibility. The hawk glances our way, turns its back and utters a warning screech/scream that tells me it is time to move on. Housemate disagrees and continues to rattle off shot after shot, while the subject of his attraction continues to voice displeasure at the intrusion of humans.

There is an answering screech and I listen again. It isn’t the hawk but housemate communicating with the bird. The bird turns towards the vehicle and the hawk-like sound and returns the call.

Housemate obliges with another sound from deep inside his vocal chords.

I am supremely happy no one else is able

to hear what might be a mating call between bird and human, or a bird-to human conversation about the weather, perhaps even an invitation to stop by again.

Finally, a vehicle approaches from behind and I convince Housemate to end his conversation, so we are able to safely move on. The hawk flies away, showing off a large wing span that is impressive, even to someone not in love with hawks.

And so our voyages go: hawks, deer, antelope, coyotes, horses, cattle, an occasional fox, beavers, ducks, geese, gophers — all subjects for photos, but only the hawk gets a conversational screech.

Back at home, I’ve taken to watching the spires on the neighbouring church where ugly turkey vultures roost on frequent occcasions. One day, there were six birds hunkered down to watch the neighbours from all sides of the spire and cross.

Unable to resist and wanting to show Housemate that I too could capture feathered images, I hefted the camera with the heavy lens and aimed out through the kitchen window. Then I opened the front door and rested the camera more securely against the frame to obtain better images.

Through the lens, their ugliness was quite clear, as were their menacing eyes and long talons. They kept shifting positions and one glided towards the house, keeping a safe distance but close enough to encourage me to shelter behind the door.

The red-headed vulture returned to the church and likely told his friends that the dame on the doorstep in her nightshirt was harmless but to keep an eye on her.

When Housemate came home, he immediately noticed the birds and hurried indoors for his camera. More photography ensued but I wasn’t close enough to hear any bird-to human conversation that might have taken place.

They, however, in their bird hisses, were likely expressing pleasure that this new human behind the camera wasn’t out there showing off his knees and ankles in his nightshirt. The resulting hissing sounds were perhaps sounds of bird laughter.

City Hall Council Notes Council against suggested extension of current terms Separate school division to hold by-election alongside council Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

A request for feedback from the Ministry of Government Relations with regards to adding an extra year to the current term for city council was received and filed with no comment during the most recent meeting of council on Monday, Aug. 27.

That’s not to say there wasn’t discussion surrounding proposal, though – with council universally opposed to the idea and Coun. Scott McMann even going so far as to move that they outright oppose the proposal.

The situation comes out of the fact the 2020 municipal elections – where the mayor and council are elected – occur only five days before the provincial election, where the premier and MLAs are chosen.

The concern is that there could be a potential lack of volunteers since the two dates are so close together and a lack of volunteer numbers and fatigue might come into play.

The result is a proposed amendment to the Local Government Election Act, 2015 that would see the current term for council extended to five years and a municipal election being held in 2021, with terms reverting to four years after that.

An earlier proposal suggested that the municipal election be moved from the fourth Wednesday in October to the third Wednesday in November, which was not support by communities in the province due

to the greater likelihood of inclement weather.

Coun. Dawn Luhning was the first to speak to the matter and pointed out that voters elected city council for a four year term and to tack on another year unilaterally would be akin to subverting the democratic process.

“I don’t feel like I should be making a decision as to whether my term should be extended by a year or not; I don’t thing that’s appropriate,” Luhning said.

“I understand what they’re doing, but personally I don’t think I can put my hand in the air and say ‘sure, I’ll stay another year’ when it’s not me who should be deciding that.”

Mayor Fraser Tolmie felt the entire issue was a matter of conflict between two election processes.

“I think this a challenge of parliamentary system colliding with council,” he said. “I know the last time they extended to a four-year term it was to save municipalities money and kind of create a rotation.

So, there was a method to the madness last time they did it (for the 2016 election, which extended council terms from three to four years).

“We’re not a party that has been voted in, we’re elected by the people without party status. That’s the challenge that we’re up against,” he added.

Further discussion led to a majority decision to receive and file, offering no input from the city.

**** The Holy Trinity Roman Catholic School Division will hold a by-election to fill a spot vacated by the resignation of trustee Robert Tiede.

As a result, the decision was made to add the separate school division position to the ballot for the Oct. 17 civic by-election to replace Coun. Don Mitchell, who vacated his spot on council in June. **** Councillors McMann, Brian Swanson and Crystal Froese twice recused themselves from proceedings, first during the adoption of minutes – which included the Aug. 15 meeting of council that dissolved the Downtown Facility and Field House board of directors -- and again during reports of executive committee and personnel committee from Aug. 13, with the executive committee meeting also dealing with the DFFH. All three were current or past members of the board, and the City of Moose Jaw is conducting an ongoing investigation into a personnel matter involving a DFFH employee. **** Luhning was appointed deputy mayor, Froese executive committee chair and McMann the personnel committee chair, with each of their two month terms beginning on Sept. 1.

Mental Health Training Free for all Saskatchewan Youth aged 14 to 21 Mental Health Training is now available free of charge for all Saskatchewan youth aged 14 to 21! As part of the Career Safety Education program, youth in Saskatchewan have access to WorkSafe Saskatchewan’s Mental Health: Health and Wellness Strategies, an online course dedicated to providing skills to cope with stress.

“Including this training component reinforces for youth the importance of understanding mental health and makes a connection for them between safety in the workplace and mental wellness,” says Saskatchewan Safety Council Community Relations Coor-

dinator, Merissa Scarlett.

The content empowers youth to improve their own mental well-being by building resilience (mental fitness). It focusses on recognizing symptoms, identifying stressors and choosing appropriate reactions.

Career Safety Education is the result of a strategic alliance of organizations brought together by the Saskatchewan Safety Council to provide every Saskatchewan youth between 14 and 21 with free career focused safety education.

Why does Career Safety Education matter? This short video, The Cade

Rotary Club of Moose Jaw looking to grow membership Matthew Gourlie -- Moose Jaw Express

The Rotary Club of Moose Jaw is looking for some new blood.

Wendy Broome, new Rotary Club of Moose Jaw president would love to undertake some new initiatives in her presidency, but she recognizes that the service club will need more members to expand the number of projects that they undertake.

“We’re always looking for members and our club is on a real membership drive right now. We would love to see more members coming,” Broome said.

“In my presidency year, I would definitely like to increase it by 8-10.

“We have lots of things we would love to do, but we need membership to do that.”

The 28-member club is active in the community, but Broome would like to partner with more groups in the community, particularly groups that are working with underprivileged communities and meeting a need in the community.

“We would like to be able to reach out to more community partners to be able to assist them with their

programming,” Broome said.

The Rotary Club of Moose Jaw will host the 74th annual Rotary Carol Festival this year from Dec. 1012 at Zion United Church. The club also sponsors the Rotary Track Club, provides a pancake breakfast on Canada Day for the runners at the Moose Jawg held at Wakamow Park and Dooly’s Pool Challenge -- a breast cancer fundraiser they do in partnership with Dooly’s Billiards & Lounge.

“Rotary is a fantastic organization and a great service to the community. It’s international and sometimes I feel like it’s a well-kept secret -- not just in Moose Jaw,” Broome said.

“We have a bit of an aging population with Rotary. I think that’s probably true in a lot of places, not just Rotary.”

The club meets every Monday for an hour luncheon starting at noon at the Heritage Inn. “We have a guest speaker in every week for our meetings,” Broome said. “One of the reasons we have guest speakers is so we can find out what

they’re doing and find out ways that we can support them.”

There are two Rotary clubs in the city. The Rotary Club of Moose Jaw Wakamow meets Monday nights at the Heritage Inn, twice a month. Both clubs are members of Rotary International.

Broome, who is also the director of community and family services at the Salvation Army, knows that people live increasingly busy lives, but feels that being part of Rotary has been a rewarding experience.

“We need members, but we need new members who are willing to not only come to meetings, but to come to be involved,” she said.

That’s not a slight on the current membership, many of whom have been involved for decades and have served the club well over the years.

“They support the club really, really well, but they’re getting tired. They’ve done it a long time,” Broome said. “I spoke to someone this morning and they’ve been doing it since 1986. He feels he needs to take a break and I understand that.”

New East End Spray Park breaks ground Matthew Gourlie - Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw’s new inclusive spray park is the result of a collaboration from various community partners.

Thanks to money from the City and a grant from the CoOp Community Spaces program, the East Side Community Association was able to raise enough money for a fully-accessible spray park at East End Park located on the corner of Ninth Avenue NE and Ominica Street.

“Adding a fully-accessible spray park to the already beautiful East End Park is a project that the East Side Community Association is really proud to be a part of,” said Jenny Gadd, chairperson of the East Side Community Association, at the ground-breaking ceremony on Aug. 29.

The park currently has modern playground equipment, some hills, a hockey rink with a small change facility and a paddling pool.

“The conversion of the paddling pool into Moose Jaw’s fourth spray park could not have been possible without the hard work from you Jenny and your association and the backing of the Co-Op,” said Mayor Fraser Tolmie. “I think about the heat wave that we just went through, the 42.5 temperature... and how this park will be beneficial in the future for kids in this community to work and play in a safe environment.”

The spray park was designed by Play Quest and Vance Construction from Indian Head was selected as the contractor. The project is expected to be completed by the end of October -- weather permitting. Regardless, the spray park will officially open in the spring of 2019.

“It’s a great park, adding the spray park will make it accessible to a larger group of people over a larger period of time,” Gadd said. “The paddling pool is only available when there is staff on site -- so Monday to Friday when the playground program is on. The spray park is going to be on demand, you’ll slap a button, the timer will go and you can play with all of the stuff. It will be available any time the sun is shining, seven days a week during the summertime.

“It will allow anybody to come by and play. It makes the park much more usable. Getting rid of the chain-link fence is going to make it seem less institutional. Hopefully it will result in just a huge increase in traffic in this little

Matthew Gourlie photograph gem of a park that we have on the East Side.”

The City allocated $165,000 to the spray park project in the 2018 budget. Gadd said the initiative began with City of Moose Jaw recreation program supervisor Steve Hall approached them about replacing the old paddling pool.

Michael Dulong, design and development technician for the City, helped the East Side Community Association with their grant application. Gadd said that for their volunteer-based organization, the support of the City has been invaluable.

“They were a huge support right from the start,” she said.

The spray park received $120,000 from the Co-Op Community Spaces program that serves all of Western Canada. Gadd is still a little taken aback by the amount that they were able to procure.

“It’s crazy. I’ve known for a few months and I still think

it’s crazy,” Gadd said. “Spray parks are expensive and the budget on the project is large. It’s something that the community association never would have been able to do without the grant. We deal in hundreds of dollars, not tens of thousands of dollars. It wouldn’t be doable without this grant and without the City being willing to partner with it.”

The Co-Op Community Spaces program was created in 2015 and that year the YMCA of Moose Jaw received $54,000 for their Early Years play space.

“We’ve been very fortunate in Moose Jaw because this is the second time that we’ve benefited from this program,” said Gerry Onyskevitch, general manager of the Moose Jaw Co-Op. “I was very surprised because $120,000 in that program is substantial. Most of the projects range from 50 to 100 thousand and maybe just over 100. It was very pleasing to see that we were able to see those kinds of dollars.”

The city’s other spray parks are located in Crescent Park, Elgn Park and the 1996 Summer Games park on Coteau Street West.

American tariff war fallout just continues

By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart express

AGRIMART

EXPRESS The American trade war will hurt the United States cheese industry, at a time when exports desperately need a shot in the arm.

The 1.4 billion pounds of cheese in storage in the U.S. is the highest surplus on hand since 1917.

Mexican and Chinese tariffs on almost $1 billion cheese exports to China and nearly $600 million dairy exports to Mexico can only increase cheese producer and dairy farm woes.

Dairy farmers fear they might end up dumping milk in their fields.

U.S. dairy exports are worth $5.5 billion annually with $1.3 billion to Mexico.

Meanwhile Tyson Farms, the U.S.A.’s largest meat processor, cut this year’s earnings estimates between 10 and 13 per cent, citing trade uncertainty and tariffs as the reason.

Tyson shares fell eight per cent on the announcement. Shares of meat processors fell in sympathy.

Farmers welcomed the $12 billion compensation package from the Trump ad-

ministration under a Depression era farm law but have concerns.

The unprecedented payout, planned to start in September, is a stopgap measure but can have long-term impacts on access to future markets, commodity prices, land prices and farm costs.

American farm income this year is expected to come in at a 12-year low.

In Montana, state beef producers hope the trade war doesn’t kill Chinese plans to invest in the beef industry and increase exports.

Chinese retail, giant JD.Com agreed last

year to invest in a new Montana slaughterhouse and import hundreds of millions in beef over time.

The deal hasn’t been cancelled but the JD.Com exports now face a total of 37 per cent from two tariffs placed on beef exports to China.

BIZWORLD

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Beverage can business stable, churning out cash from global operations The beverage can business is one of those near invisible but highly investible industries.

This Bizworld column will discuss two beverage-can makers that between them have half the global market share. Both have been well-managed and profitable.

Ball Corporation, currently trading at $40.62 US, has gained almost 300 per cent in share price over 10 years.

Crown Holdings Inc., trading at $41.53 US, has gained 72 per cent in 10 years.

Growing markets in the emerging markets of South America, Africa and Asia should help fuel profits in the years ahead. Rising incomes in these regions will increase demand for beverage can makers.

A consumer-driven trend, the backlash against plastic containers made from fossil fuels, will boost growth.

Beverage manufacturers are actively seeking replacements for plastic containers.

Recent plant closures and plant consolidations in North America will increase profits and make it more difficult for competitors to enter this lucrative market.

The growing Chinese market remains a question mark.

Between them, Ball and Crown have a low penetration –

an estimated 24 per cent — of the Chinese market, versus 68 per cent in North America and 87 per cent of South America.

Political uncertainty in China, especially with trade wars, could prevent them from consolidating the fragmented Chinese industry.

But with 57 and 58 per cent of Africa/Middle East and Europe there is room for growth of the 320 billion can a year business.

The optics of declining beer sales in established markers are poor but data shows beer bottle use declining at a faster rate than beer cans.

Two years ago, Ball propelled itself into the Number One global beverage can maker spot by an acquisition that built debt. Now the company is in the process of reducing the debt.

Net debt was reduced by $200 million to $6.8 billion in the first six months of the year.

Ball also operates an aerospace division with U.S. defence contracts providing nine per cent of revenue and an increased backlog of orders.

Crown earned $1.66 a share in the first six months of

2018, a reduction from $1.71 even as sales increased 29 per cent.

Debt almost doubled to $9.2 billion with the $3.9 billion acquisition early this year and construction of new plants and new lines.

The Signode acquisition could add another $1.6 billion to sales this year.

The company wants to focus on markets in Southeast Asia, Mexico and Turkey, with better than average growth prospects.

Crown sells at 7.6 times cash flow with brokers’ consensus estimate for a 10 per cent increase in earnings next year.

Ball trades at 8.8 times cash flow with a consensus estimate for a 15 per cent earnings increase next year.

Both stocks are worth putting on the stock watch list.

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

Harvesting Hope for Moose Jaw

Staff and volunteers will be busy harvesting produce from the Mosaic Community Food Farm on Friday morning, September 7, 2018 from 9AM – 2PM. Members of the Mosaic Community Food Farm committee and staff encourage volunteers or those who would like to support the project to come out on Friday, September 7 to assist with the harvest.

Visit the Facebook page or email mosaicfoodfarm@gmail. com for a chance to be a part of the day. A free lunch made with produce from the Food Farm will be provided to all participants.

“With help from the classes at the Moose Jaw Multicultural Council and groups from within the community, to date we have been able to provide 500lbs of fresh vegetables to Hunger in Moose Jaw, The Riverside Mission, and The Moose Jaw and District Food Bank,” stated Community Food Farm Coordinator, Owen Tillie.

Celeste Geisbauer, Sr. Community Investment Specialist with The Mosaic Company says, “From the produce we pull from the ground, to the people we’re able to feed through our food agency partners, to the volunteers who come out for the day, the Food Farm continues to grow and be a strong way to tackle hunger in the Moose Jaw community.”

FUN FACTS

Invitation to Community Harvest!

Friday September 7th - 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

The produce at the Mosaic Community Food Farm is ready for harvesting and distributing to the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank, Hunger in Moose Jaw, Riverside Mission and Moose Jaw Multicultural Council We invite you to join us Friday September 7 between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. to help us harvest. Please bring water, gloves, a spade and bug spray.

Lunch will be served — fresh from the garden!

Access to healthy food changes lives Where to join us For more information please call 306-692-2717

· The site of the farm used to be a market garden area back in 1920s, prior to that it was a pig farm. · The Mosaic Community Food Farm began as a two-acre project and has expanded to three acres in 2016. If you took the football field at Mosaic Stadium, cut off the end zones, the farm will cover two and a half Canadian Football League sized fields. · Over 1200 lbs. of potatoes were planted in 2018. The estimated yield of the potato crop could be as much as 15,000 lbs. That is enough potatoes to provide a 2 lbs. bag to 7,500 clients. · The Mosaic Community Food Farm has received outstanding support from the community. Our supporters include The Mosaic Company, Wakamow Valley Authority, Tree Canada and CN Ecoconnexions. · The Moose Jaw Multicultural Council, through their English as an Additional Language (EAL) newcomer program has provided hundreds of hours of volunteer time in the farm, from planting, weeding, hilling to harvesting potatoes.

BACKGROUND · The Mosaic Community Food Farm is a collaborative project started in 2015, funded by the Mosaic Company, headed by Wakamow Valley Authority, for the benefit of community partners including Hunger in Moose Jaw, Moose Jaw and District Food Bank and Riverside Mission. · The Mosaic Community Food Farm is addressing a need in our community. Access to fresh produce is out of reach for many— not only those who are accessing emergency food sources. · The Moose Jaw Food Bank, Hunger in Moose Jaw and Riverside Mission all support vulnerable populations in the City; they are in need of healthy, nutritious food to share with their clients. · The farm grows primarily fresh vegetables, many that can be stored and used throughout the winter and others that can be consumed throughout the summer and fall.

· Potatoes, carrots, beets, tomatoes, onions, squash and zucchini are the main produce grown in the farm. · The farm is located in beautiful Wakamow Valley in Churchill Park. The Wakamow Valley Authority oversees the project and allocates staff time to prepare and maintain the ground for growing, oversees planting and harvest, as well as storage and distribution on the produce. · Mosaic provided funding that will support staff members to manage the farm over the summer and other necessities. · In 2015 a grant from Tree Canada’s Edible Trees program, with support from Loblaw, Silk, and Telus, provided funding for fruit trees and shrubs to compliment the farm’s planned vegetable production. · In 2016 CN EcoConnexions provided a grant to expand the or-

chard portion of the project with over 200 fruit trees and shrubs planted. · Volunteers support is essential for the project to succeed. There will be opportunities for experienced green thumbs and for those who want to learn to grow their own food. · Growing food is a lost art. It takes us back to our roots. Promoting and educating others on the possibilities they can find in a simple plot of earth is part of the project. · The concept of an urban community farm is not new, but for Saskatchewan and certainly Moose Jaw, it is an innovative idea. · Hunger is at the root of many societal issues and we believe that healthy food can change lives.

Climate change strategy, Prairie Resilience more effective than carbon tax Province will not submit plans to Federal Government Sasha-Gay Lobban

The Government of Saskatchewan unveiled its climate change plans, Prairie Resilience Climate Change Strategy in Moose Jaw on Thursday, August 29, saying its plan is more effective and a better approach than carbon tax.

Environment Minister, Dustin Duncan made the announcement during a press conference held at Mosaic Place. The minister says Prairie Resilience is a more effective approach to climate change and Saskatchewan will continue to implement this strategy.

According to the government of Saskatchewan, Prairie Resilience is a “comprehensive and credible strategy to tackle the challenges that a changing climate present.” On December 4, 2017, Saskatchewan released Prairie Resilience: A made-in-Saskatchewan Climate Change Strategy. The government says it takes a system-wide approach to climate change by incorporating adaptive, mitigative and transformative strategies.

Duncan says the implementation of Prairie Resilience has been a multi-faceted approach and the government will continue to implement key comittments in the province’s climate change plan to help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while maintaining a competitive economy. “This has been a team approach—caucus, cabinet, stakeholders as well as a number of government ministries and agencies. Our partners have made significant contributions to our climate change strategy and I appreciate their commitment to reducing emissions in our province.”

He added that this system-wide approach will make the province more resilient to the impact of climate change. “Saskatchewan’s comprehensive climate change strategy is a system-wide approach designed to make Saskatchewan more resilient to the climatic, economic and policy impact of climate change.

Our strategy already included electricity reductions

of 40% as well as upstream oil and gas of methane reductions of 40%.”

“Today, we’re following up on our commitment to develop sector specific standards that will reduce industrial emissions by 10% by 2030. Saskatchewan facilities will be able to choose from a suit of flexible, compliant options, including: offset credits, best performance credits and a technology fund. The standards for these sectors were developed in consultations with the industry, an account for overall economic growth, competitiveness and trade exposure, minimal regulatory burden and sector specific achievability. These standards should not be a surprise to anyone as our government is doing exactly what we said we would do in our Prairie Resilience Strategy,” Duncan noted.

He went on to outline the next steps in the province’s approach to climate change. “Industry standards are the next step in our system-wide approach to climate change. Our industrial sectors currently emit 11% of provincial green house gas emissions or 8.5 million tons per year. These new reductions will reduce that about 10% by 2030,” he outlined. “This also means that from 2019 to 2030, Saskatchewan will see a total reduction of 5.3 million tons of green house gases from these sectors. Added to electricity and methane, this means that 58% of provincial emissions will now be covered by regulations. By 2030, our actions in these three areas will result in the reduction of nearly 12 million tons of green house gases emitted each year in Saskatchewan.”

He also noted that Saskatchewan’s performance standards will increase over an established scheduled from 2019 to 2030. According to the minister, the sector-specific performance standards are expected to achieve the following emissions intensity reductions: Potash, coal and uranium mining (5 per

cent); iron and steel mills (5 per cent); fertilizer manufacturing (5 per cent); pulp mills (5 per cent); ethanol production (5 per cent); refining and upgrading (10 per cent) and upstream oil and gas—combustion only (15 per cent). “This approach will responsibly and tangibly reduce emissions and protect our trade exposed economy which is the goal of our strategy and the main concern with the federal carbon tax.”

“Since releasing Prairie Resilience in December last year [2017], the government has proclaimed portions of the management reduction of green house gases act which included electricity regulations that took effect January 1st this year,” he went on to say.

“We engaged with industry associations and environmental NGOs throughout the year to see input on the development of specific regulatory approaches.

We passed reporting regulations which along with an associated standard obligated emitting more than 10,000 tons of green house gases annually to report these emissions.”

Duncan said Saskatchewan’s approach is a more effective one, stating that the province will only report the progress of this strategy but will not be submitting its plan to the federal government. “Our approach with Prairie Resilience is a more effective plan than a carbon tax, and these commitments demonstrate why the federal backstop should not be imposed on Saskatchewan businesses, industries, communities and familied,” Duncan said. “We plan to advise the federal government of our progress on reducing emissions and building a more resilient province; however, we are not submitting our plan for reducing emissions, nor are we changing course on our strong and effective approach on climate change.”

LETTER TO THE

PREMIER

Dear Premier Scott Moe, I was thrilled to hear that you turned towards farmer Megz Reynolds’ invitation to take a seat in her harvest combine. Research shows that turning towards is the best response. Turning towards is not giving in but connecting to seek a positive outcome.

Are either you or Megz aware of the “4 per 1000” initiative? It offers a positive climate change outcome.

4p1000.org explains carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere at a rate of that 4.3 billion tons per year. Soil contains 1,500 billion tons of carbon. By increasing the carbon in the soil by “4 per 1000” (0.4%) per year, we can offset all our carbon emissions.

This offset can be done by shifting to regenerative agriculture practices like no-till. Plus, regenerative agriculture has many benefits; increased food security, improved soil fertility, healthier food and environment, lower input costs, and reduced ocean acidification. A local farmer who practices regenerative agriculture gleefully recounts his lower input costs, especially lower fuel costs.

Individually, every bite we eat moves us towards or away from regenerative agriculture. Provincially, rather than turning against a carbon tax, would it be wiser to turn our province towards the “4 per 1000” solution?

Defeating the carbon tax will not mitigate climate change. Committing to regenerative agriculture would move us towards mitigating climate change and could move us away from a carbon tax.

If you have not investigated the “4 per 1000” initiative, please direct your Minister of Agriculture to do so. If you have, please share the results.

Journey to Hope Walk 2018: Hope, Healing and Honoring Sasha-Gay Lobban

Journey to Hope, Moose Jaw will be hosting its annual Hope Walk on Saturday, September 22 at Crescent Park Amphitheatre starting at 10:00am.

The Hope Walk supports suicide awareness and prevention, providing hope, healing and honoring those who have lost their lives to suicide.

Della Ferguson, facilitator and spokesperson for Journey to Hope, says the Walk brings awareness in the community and allow persons to reflect on and honour their loved ones who have passed. The Walk began 10 years ago.

“The Journey to Hope Walk began in September of 2008, after some members approached me from the Survivors of Suicide Grief Support Group for those who have had a loved one die by Suicide, a group that I facilitate through Jones Funeral Home. They wanted to raise funds and awareness for Suicide Prevention,” said Ferguson. “Their hope was that no one would ever experience the profound pain of grief that they had. Since that time, we have been hosting fundraising Walks and raising awareness for Suicide Prevention.

We work in partnership with the Canadian Mental Health Association in Moose Jaw, and have Committee members from CMHA, as well as Mental Health and Addictions, the schools, Moose Jaw Pride and individuals from our community impacted by suicide. It is a mission of their heart, focussed on Hope.”

Ferguson says the Hope Walk is important for several reasons. She outlined: “It brings together people impacted by suicide, helping them see they are not alone and there are others who understand; it honours the memory of those who died by suicide; it shows those who struggle with mental health challenges that the community desires to ensure there are resources to

Pack It Light.

Wear It Right

by Dr. Steven Heidinger, Moose Jaw Chiropractor With kids soon to be going back to school, this is the time of the year for the lecture on the proper use of backpacks.

While my memory of grade school is rather sparse, I do not recall having to bring the amount of school paraphernalia required by today’s kids. The back-to-school supplies in my day were limited to just a few duo-tangs, a full pencil case and some protractors we never used.

Nowadays, parents are expected to supply 2 semesters’ worth of classroom items on day 1. I do not recall having to supply our own boxes of tissue, and water bottles did

support them; it raises vital funds to train people and raise awareness and promote resources and it breaks the silence and the stigma by our public gathering and speaking out on suicide and more.”

She added that each year people give great feedback on the event and how impactful it has been on their lives.

“Each year people have used words such as ‘powerful, inspiring and meaningful’ to describe their experience at the Journey to Hope Walk. They often say how courageous the speakers are and how their stories impacted them. Some people who have attended have then joined our committee to help with the work and some have come with amazing ideas of ways we can further impact our community through community endeavours.”

For this year’s Walk, Ethan Brentnell, a talented high school student will be the musical guest.

The program will also include Nicholas Hennink, a local Paramedic who knows the reality of PTSD. He will be sharing his song “Home” that he produced with Jared Robinson of Nebulus Entertainment, as well as sharing some of his story. There will be a reflective walk through Crescent Park and much more.

The event also serves as a fundraiser. Persons are encouraged to purchase Raffle tickets for: The Ray Bell Memorial Raffle for the prize of an autographed George Reed Rider Jersey and the Gord Aitken Memorial Raffle for a beautiful Butterfly Quilt created by Joyce Aitken.

Tickets are available through Journey to Hope Volunteers or contacting Della at Della@wjjonesandson. com. You can also purchase a case of BC Peaches for 40.00 (8.00 goes to Journey to Hope). These are available by contacting Lianne at nektt@sasktel.net. not exist (The water from the fountains never killed us).

All of this equates to kids hauling backpacks on the first day of school that are literally busting at the zippers.

More than half of kids will experience at least one episode of back pain by the time they reach their teens.

While today’s kids play too many video games and have their heads down looking at their handhelds more than half of their waking hours, some of the back issues that kids experience may be due to their backpacks.

I have seen many kids walking to school with backpacks overloaded and noted how this affects their posture. A heavy backpack can make a child have to lean forward to counteract the weight on the back, leading to a forward head and shoulder posture. It makes it look like that child is walking into a 50 kilometre per hour head wind.

Even when standing still, a heavy backpack can change the normal spinal curves, potentially straining the back.

The Canadian Chiropractic Association stresses the importance of proper backpack use in its “Pack it Light.

Wear it Right” campaign. To limit the stress on young

spines, follow these simple rules: -pack what is needed for that day only and try to distribute the items evenly in the backpack’s multiple pockets, with heavier items closest to the body.

-keep the total weight of the backpack to no more than 10 to 15 percent of the child’s body weight.

-backpacks come with 2 shoulder straps. USE THEM BOTH. I know dangling the backpack on one shoulder may be a cooler look, but I think having uneven shoulders is much less cool.

-fit the shoulder straps snug so that the backpack does not sag down to the buttocks area.

-If you are around to help your child before going to school, help them put the backpack on, rather than them awkwardly trying themselves.

-chooser a backpack made with lighter materials like vinyl or canvas, rather than the heavier leather.

Those little spines are still growing. Let’s make sure they grow straight!

Crescent Park Vandalism

Parkinson SuperWalk On Tuesday, August 28th, Mayor Fraser Tolmie signs the proclamation for the Parkinson SuperWalk, with members of the Parkinson Support Group looking on.

The vandalism incurred in Crescent Park following the Band City Concert held on Saturday, August 25th has been repaired. The City has facilitated the removal of about 20 graffiti tags that were found in various places in the park, and has repaired the broken benches. The murals that were defaced were not harmed by the graffiti removal process. Total cost of the repairs, including labour was about $850.00. The City appreciates all residents who offered to help with the clean up and repairs.

Rotary Club of Moose Jaw Wakamow $1000 Scholarship recipients

Over 100 cyclists rode in the K+S MS Bike held in Avonlea on August 18th with over $120,000 raised for the MS Society of Canada.

This is the 29th year the MS BIKE event is held in Saskatchewan. It is a pledge-based national fundraising campaign that provides Canadians with the opportunity to ride through scenic parts of the country while raising money for the MS Society.

Over 8,000 cyclists are expected to participate in the 20 one-day or twoday tours taking place across Canada between June and September.

Money raised through the K+S MS Bike will help fund MS Society initiatives such as:

Chloe Merifield was a student at Central Collegiate and will pursue a nursing degree at the University of Regina.

• MS research into causes, risk factors and treatments.

• Programs and services that help people affected by MS effectively manage and cope with the disease through education, information and support.

• Advocacy such as lobbying for

more flexible income and employment supports for Canadians affected

by MS, caregiver supports, and more government investment in MS research.

Canada has one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world. MS is a chronic, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Find out more information at mssociety.ca and go to msbike.ca to learn more about the K+S MS Bike.

By Joyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express

With school back in session, parents and caregivers will be preparing lunch-time and after-school snacks for youngsters who have spent the day in the classroom.

This week’s recipes offer ideas for baked doughnuts to satisfy the hunger of students of all ages.

•••

Banana Carrot Doughnuts 1/3 cup whole wheat flour 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 tbsp. wheat germ pinch salt 3 tbsps. sugar 1/3 tsp. baking powder 1/8 tsp. baking soda 1/3 tsp. pumpkin pie spice 1 large egg 3 tbsps. canola oil 3 tbsps. baby food carrot puree 1/2 medium banana, mashed 3 tbsps. plain yogurt 1/3 cup grated carrots

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a six unit doughnut baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Combine the first eight ingredients in a large bowl.

Whisk eggs, oil, banana, baby food carrots and yogurt in a separate bowl. Gently stir the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir in grated carrots. Place batter in a piping bag.

Evenly fill each well in the pan to 3/4 full. Bake for 10 minutes. May be sprinkled with a sugar-cinnamon mixture while cooling.

•••

Chocolate Orange Zest Doughnuts 1/2 cup self-rising flour 1/4 cup cocoa powder 4 tbsps. granulated sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 6 tbsps. plain yogurt 4 tbsps. milk 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1/4 cup butter 1 egg zest of orange Glaze: 1/2 cup icing sugar 6 tbsps. orange juice

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 12-unit mini doughnut pan with non-stick cooking spray.

In a small bowl sift all dry ingredients and mix together.

In a bigger bowl whisk together milk, yogurt, vanilla, butter, zest and egg. Combine the two mixtures and incorporate well but do not over-mix.

Transfer batter into a piping bag with a large nozzle and pipe into the doughnut pans. Bake 10-12 minutes and cool in pans.

Before doughnuts have cooled completely, use a wooden spoon with a long handle and slot and then mount the doughnuts onto the handle. Drizzle glaze over the doughnuts, turning the spoon so all sides are covered. Place doughnuts still on the handle over a large-mouthed bowl to cool and dry completely.

Makes 12 mini doughnuts.

The glaze is made by combing the icing sugar and juice and

mixing well.

•••

Baked Lemonade Doughnuts 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1 pkg. pink lemonade powder 1/4 cup milk 1 egg 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. butter Glaze: 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar 1/8 tsp. lemonade powder 2 tbsps. milk yellow food colouring

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease doughnut wells.

Whisk together all dry ingredients. Stir in the wet ingredients then mix until completely combined. Fill doughnut cavities 2/3 full. Bake 8-10 minutes or until tops spring back when lightly pressed. Let cool in pan.

Make glaze by mixing sugar and lemonade powder and adding milk until a drizzling consistency is reached. Add a drop of food colouring, if desired.

Remove doughnuts from pan and drizzle glaze over cooled doughnuts. Makes six.

Generals an experienced group heading into new season Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

There’s an old story about Edmonton Oilers when they were in the middle of their Stanley Cup dynasty in the mid-80s – during a training camp, coach Glenn Sather gathered in the players and laid it on the line: everyone is back, there are only a couple of spots open on the team and the new guys are going to be in one heck of a battle to get them.

It wouldn’t be a surprise if Moose Jaw Generals coach Ray Wareham gave the exact same speech to his group during their recent training camp. There’s little doubt that experience will be the order of the day when it comes to the local squad’s prospects in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League.

“It’s a weird two years because I’ve never been in a situation like last year with 18 new guys and I don’t think I’ve ever been in a situation where we have so many guys returning and really no open spots for anybody,” Wareham said. “But the guys from last year seem to have put the work in over the summer and it was really encouraging at the camp in July and now here in August, so we’re just excited about the start of the year.”

Making things all the more interesting, the vast majority of Generals returnees have taken the lessons of last season to heart and will be ready to hit the ice with a vengeance when exhibition play begins on Thursday, Sept. 6

Generals forward Evan Sare attempts to score during league action last season at Mosaic Place against the Swift Current Legionnaires.

“Camp is one thing and games are another, but from what we’ve seen, there’s been drastic improvement in the guys,” Wareham said. “Last year the focus was on learning to play and for a lot of them it was learning to play without the puck, which they’ve pretty much never had to do in their lives until this point, they’ve always been the best players on their teams.

“And they really bought in last year, I thought they worked extremely hard all year. We didn’t get the results we wanted some nights, but they sure improved and we’re hoping that carries over to this year and that leads to more wins for us.”

The Generals are coming off a season where they posted a 9-29-0-4 record, finishing ahead of only the Notre Dame Argos in the 12-team league.

Wareham spent much of the season lauding his troops’ work ethic and teachability, with the hope now that they’ll be able to take it to the next level.

“There was a lot of teaching last year and we’re hoping it’ll just be a lot of fine tuning this year,” he said. “They took a bit of razzing last year; teams weren’t afraid to let us know they were beating us, so we’re looking to return the favour.”

And with that, the team’s goals for the season – a return to the prestigious Mac’s Midget tournament in Calgary over Christmas, and ultimately a top-four finish in the league standings.

“We definitely want to get back into the playoffs, and it’s not going to be easy,” Wareham said. “They’re going to have to put the work in every night, but I think we have the kind of group that understands that and will do what they can to get us back to where we want to be.”

High school football season kicks-off Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Yorkton Raiders put together a season to remember in the Moose Jaw High School Football League last season.

A team-wide project running from the time many Raiders were youngsters playing Atom football, the 2017 season was the time for the strong and deep crew of seniors to show-off their stuff. And if not for the campaign the Peacock Tornadoes had put together only a couple years earlier, Yorkton’s run last year might have been historically great.

As it stands, it was still something to behold: a 6-0 regular season record where they scored 322 points while giving up only 25. Two utterly commanding wins in the playoffs: 59-0 over Vanier in the semifinals and 59-2 over Swift Current in the MJHSFL championship final.

That run continued in the provincial semifinals, where they defeated Regina league champion Balgonie Greenall 24-22. The

Oh Clark’s

ending was a perfect storybook, though, as the Raiders fell 14-7 to North Battleford in the SHSAA 3A provincial championship.

Along the way, they had some incredible individual performances led by senior Matthew Mandziuk catching 33 passes for 691 yards, becoming the MJHFL all-time career reception yardage leader.

While the 2018 team won’t have Mandziuk and the other final-year players who anchored their victory, they will have starting quarterback Jordan Rusnak, who threw 70 passes for 1,285 yards, the seventh-best single-season yardage total in league history.

Interestingly enough, Rusnak didn’t finish

with the highest total in the league, as the Central Cyclones’ Ethan Johnson threw for 1,319 yards on 90 catches, the fifthbest total in history. He’ll be back under centre for the Cyclones for his senior year this fall.

Central will kick-off their campaign against the Vanier Vikings (1 p.m., Gutheridge Field) before Swift Current does battle with the Peacock Tornadoes (3:15 p.m.).

The always-contentious meeting between Peacock and Central will take place on Sept. 18, with the final Saturday of league competition set for Oct. 9. Playoffs begin with quarter-finals on Oct. 13, semifinals on Oct. 20 and league championship game on Oct. 27.

The provincial semifinals will be in Moose Jaw on Nov. 3; the provincial final is slated for Nov. 10 in Regina.

Almeida looking to build on stellar campaign Warriors’ top returning scorer coming off near-100 point campaign Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Warriors

Moose Jaw Warriors forward Justin Almeida, with a 43-goal, 98-point campaign is traditionally rarified air, even for the most gifted of Tribe snipers. But last season was... different.

Jayden Halbgewachs led the entire CHL in scoring with a 70-goal, 129-point campaign. Brayden Burke’s 31goal, 113-point run was third-best single-season total for the Tribe in over a decade. And when he was on the ice, team captain Brett Howden commanded all sorts of attention while racking up 75 points in only 49 games.

And there was Almeida, quietly putting together the kind of season that would generally generate a buzz.

Now, coming into the 2018-19 campaign, there’s no question who the Warriors’ offensive leader is.

Almeida is ready for the show.

“There’s a little extra pressure, but I don’t mind it at all,” he said after scoring a goal in the team’s Black-White intrasquad game. “When there’s pressure, I feel that our team and myself, we play well. So, it’s there, but we have some other guys who will step up and get the job done.”

Given the quality of the overagers and number of 19-year-olds on last season’s team, Almeida didn’t have to take a leadership role among the forward corps all that often. This season, there’s no doubt he’ll be one of

Moose Jaw Warriors forward Justin Almeida circles out from behind the net during the Black-White intrasquad game. the guys all eyes will be on.

“It’s a lot different than last year; we lost a lot of leaders and a lot of older players, so all the guys who are coming back are going to be bigger leaders and have a larger role compared to last year,” Almeida said. “We

have to come out and show these younger players what they have to do to play in the league.”

Ideally, that would mean increased production and performance. For a player coming off a near-100-point campaign.

“You always want to be better than the year before or at least just as good,” Almeida said. “We have a different look on our team this year, but that’s not an excuse. I still want to play well and I still have high expectations for myself.”

There was at least one team that didn’t think Almeida flew under the radar last season: the Pittsburgh Penguins, who selected the 19-year-old centre in the fifth round, 129th overall in the 2018 NHL Draft.

He’ll attend his first NHL training camp this fall, leaving Moose Jaw on Sept. 4.

“It’s going to be a lot different, but it’s everyone’s dream to play in the NHL and being in an NHL camp, I’m just going to try and learn all I can and show why Pittsburgh drafted me,” Almeida said. “We have a rookie tournament in Buffalo, so I want to impress the coaches and general managers there, and then if I get into the main camp, do the same thing.”

The Warriors play their first home exhibition game Sept.

7 against the Medicine Hat Tigers.

Warriors training camp fitness-testing: hallmark for personal responsibility

Annual event puts Tribe veterans and hopefuls through their paces in quest for improvement Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Warriors sported t-shirts with the slogan ‘Be a Driver’ emblazoned across the back during their first team-wide activity of the 2018-19 season, during this year’s training camp: fitness testing at the YaraCentre fieldhouse.

That saying couldn’t apply more to the task at hand, acting as a hallmark of the

kind of personal responsibility the Tribe expect from their players.

The numbers don’t lie. As long as they’re higher and lower where they’re supposed to be, it shows that each individual player is improving from season to season – and taking their individual development seriously.

“Some of the returning guys have really Members of the Moose Jaw Warriors pick up the pace as the multi-stage fitness test – or ‘beep test’ – progresses.

improved their numbers and that’s what we’re really looking for, and some of the returning veterans have improved their numbers and that’s really important,” said Warriors head coach Tim Hunter.

“We look at this as kind of a baseline for our guys, it gives us something to improve on and work on as they work to become elite athletes. It doesn’t happen overnight and this is just the start of it.”

Players go through a series of events designed to show off their strength and endurance, such as number of chin-ups, a hanging abdominal test and the always-dreaded multi-stage fitness test, or ‘beep’ test, which has players racing back-and-forth over a 20-metre span, with a series of beeps getting incrementally shorter. Fail to reach the line before the beep and you’re out of the event.

Each of the events not only measures fitness but just how far players are willing to push themselves.

“It shows us their compete, their try, their will, their athleticism and how fit they are,” Hunter explained. “It’s a good indication, because everyone does the same test and we’ve done it a number of years in a row so we have a lot of numbers to compare to, so it’s a good thing and that’s what we’re trying to accomplish here, improvement every year.”

It comes with little surprise that return-

ing veterans tend to post the most impressive results – they’ve been through the process in the past and part of the Warriors training system – and the 2018 camp was no exception, with the likes of NHL draft picks Josh Brook, Jett Woo and Justin Almeida posting substantial improvement, along with goaltender Adam Evanoff. Among the younger players, defenceman Daemon Hunt was a standout after going through his first round of fitness testing last year.

“He’s had an outstanding bodyfat change from over 14 per cent to under 10 this year, so that’s an outstanding improvement for him,” Hunter said. “Obviously going to an NHL development camp helped and a summer of working hard made a huge difference and helped him along.”

The message a huge improvement from one season to another sends is obvious – the player in question has taken ‘Be a Driver’ to heart.

“It shows that they get the message and they’re smart kids and they take control and take ownership of their own development,” Hunter said. “That’s what we’re trying to encourage all our kids to do, take ownership. We want them to be in control of their own destiny and we’re going to help them, but they have to take ownership and that’s the goal.”

Older adults taking opioids at risk for toxicity or death, report says

By Sheryl Ubelacker - THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO _ When most people think about opioid overdoses, it’s typically a younger person that comes to mind. But it’s often older Canadians who bear the brunt of detrimental effects related to the powerful narcotics.

In fact, about 30 per cent of all opioid-related deaths in Canada in 2017 occurred among those aged 50 and older, while adults 65-plus had the highest rates of hospitalization due to toxicity from the painkillers, City of Moose Jaw CALL FOR NOMINATIONS MOOSE JAW MUNICIPAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY Applications are now being accepted from citizens interested in taking an active role on the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport Authority.

Application forms and additional information regarding the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport Authority can be obtained from the City of Moose Jaw’s website at www.moosejaw.ca OR by contacting the City Clerk’s Office, 2nd Floor, City Hall, 228 Main Street N., Moose Jaw, SK, (306-694-4424). To assist City Council in choosing applicants for appointment, please provide, in addition to your application, a rÊsumÊ outlining your background and how this would benefit the City of Moose Jaw and region, and the operation of the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport.

Citizens interested in appointment are invited to submit an application with attached rÊsumÊ by mail to the City Clerk’s Office, 228 Main Street N., Moose Jaw, SK, S6H 3J8, or by email to cclerk@moosejaw.ca or by fax (306-694-4528).

says a report by the National Initiative for the Care of the Elderly (NICE), released Wednesday in Ottawa.

Adults aged 65-plus consistently have the highest rates of hospitalization due to opioid poisoning, the report found. While older adults represented 16 per cent of the population in 2014-2015, they accounted for about 25 per cent of all hospital admissions due to opioid toxicity.

Hospital stays for opioid poisoning were also more prolonged for those aged 50 and up _ eight days longer on average _ compared with those in other age brackets, says the report, which was compiled following an in-depth review of research on the topic.

Accidental opioid toxicity that occurred as a result of treatment with prescribed opioids, such as morphine,

hydromorphone and the fentanyl patch, accounted for a quarter of poisonings among older Canadians.

But White-Campbell believes the actual figure may be higher.

Older Canadians are prescribed opioids more often than their younger counterparts because they have more pain-causing health conditions, such as chronic arthritis.

But because there are changes in how the body metabolizes medications as a person ages, tolerance for drugs like opioids can decline.

Citing 2017 statistics, the report showed 92 per cent of opioid-related deaths across all ages were deemed to be accidental. But among deaths in which medical examiners determined the drugs had been deliberately ingested with the intent to die, a high percentage of fatalities occurred among those aged 50 and older.

National / International News PROVINCIAL

‘More effective than a carbon tax:’ Saskatchewan digs in heels on climate change MOOSE JAW, Sask. _ The Saskatchewan government is doubling down on its climate change strategy and continues to defy Ottawa’s demand it put a price on carbon emissions.

Environment Minister Dustin Duncan says the province is expanding emission limits based on production for facilities such as potash mines and pulp mills.

Those facilities generate 11 per cent of the province’s emissions.

He says the emission limits have already been announced for electricity generation and methane from oil and gas.

Saskatchewan is asking the Court of Appeal to rule on whether Ottawa’s plan to impose a carbon tax on any province that doesn’t have one is unconstitutional.

The province has argued its climate change plan is enough to reduce emissions and a carbon tax would hurt the Saskatchewan economy. ``Our approach? is a more effective plan than a carbon tax, and these commitments demonstrate why the federal backstop should not be imposed on Saskatchewan businesses, industries, communities and families,’’ Duncan said in a release Wednesday. ``We plan to advise the federal government of our

progress on reducing emissions and building a more resilient province; however, we are not submitting our plan for assessment, nor are we changing course on our strong and effective approach on climate change.’’

The federal climate plan calls for taxes of greenhouse gas emissions starting at $10 per tonne this year and rising $10 a year to $50 a tonne in 2022.

It leaves it to the provinces to decide how to do that either through a tax or a cap-and-trade system. © 2018 The Canadian Press

INTERNATIONAL

A controversial comeback for a highly prized tuna

By Patrick Whittle - THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine _ A decade ago, participants in the Sturdivant Island Tuna Tournament went consecutive years in which they didn’t catch a single fish in the Gulf of Maine. This year, fishermen set a record with 30, including the 801-pound (363.33-kilogram) winner.

Their record haul is happening amid a turning point for these giant tuna, an iconic species that scientists say appears to be slowly recovering in the Atlantic Ocean. The re-emergence of bluefin, which can weigh more than half a ton, has led to debate among fishermen, conservationists and scientists over just how much the big fish have recovered. It remains at a frac-

tion of its population 60 years ago.

The tuna’s status as a premium sushi and sashimi fish makes it particularly valuable in Japan, as a large bluefin can easily yield hundreds of meals.

The fish, capable of crossing the Atlantic in 60 days, have been harvested by man for centuries, and annual worldwide sales total hundreds of millions of dollars. The bluefin is listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, due in large part to years of overfishing.

But international regulators say the species has recently recovered enough that it can withstand more fishing.

Environmental groups say they fear boosting the quota now and potential-

ly in future years could undo years of conservation work. There also remains uncertainty among scientists about the status of the fish’s population.

The quota increase amounts to more than 750,000 pounds (34,0198 kilograms) when allocations for the U.S. and other countries that target Western Atlantic tuna, such as Canada and Japan, are counted.

In the Eastern Atlantic, quotas are going up even more.

The management of Atlantic bluefin is more complex than for many other fish species because they cross numerous international borders as they migrate to feed and spawn.

The International Commission for the

Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, with about 50 member nations, including the U.S., released a report last year that described the species as recovering but still facing challenges.

Although the commission has decided to boost the quota for U.S. fishermen this year, the species will still be tightly monitored going forward. ___ Associated Press video journalist Federica Narancio in Washington, D.C., contributed to this report. © 2018 The Canadian Press

JUSTICE

British Columbia sues pharmaceutical companies over opioid addictions VANCOUVER _ The British Columbia government filed a proposed class-action lawsuit Wednesday against pharmaceutical companies in an attempt to recoup the costs associated with opioid addiction.

In June, the federal government said nearly 4,000 Canadians died from apparent opioid overdoses last year. British Columbia remained the province hardest hit by the opioid crisis, with 1,399 deaths, up from 974 in 2016.

The province declared a public health emergency in 2016.

None of the allegations made by British Columbia in its lawsuit has been proven in court.

Eby said there are 40 named defendants, including OxyContin-maker Purdue Pharma, which could not

immediately be reached for comment.

Last month, New Brunswick said it was considering launching or joining a lawsuit aimed at recovering health-care costs from the growing opioid crisis.

In March, a Saskatchewan judge rejected a $20-million national settlement against Purdue Pharma (Canada), saying it was inadequate.

In April, New Democratic Party MP Don Davies said the federal government should pursue compensation for the cost of treating addiction. Canada is the second-leading user of opioids, after the United States.

He said the health-care costs of addiction across the country amounted to about $1 billion between 2011 and 2016.

Health Canada said in April it has closely noted the

On the Front Porch

LOEPPKY

by Wanda Smith

Dead End As Staples office supply store advertises, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year;” However, for some parents, they will be facing the dreaded empty nest. For those who are mothers and fathers to the depths... this one’s for you (and for anyone else who may be transitioning into something that doesn’t appear to have a happy ending)! Some moms who are close to me are experiencing their children moving out and are facing empty rooms, empty chairs and empty driveways. Thankfully, Lil Sweet Pea will be with us for several more years so we don’t have to cross that bridge yet!

As I’ve pondered this transition in life, I am purposely posturing myself to be prepared for that day. I realize I haven’t walked through it yet but I have walked through some pretty challenging changes in life and understand that there will be some similarities. Because I haven’t journeyed through the empty nest season, I will cautiously encourage you and in turn, you may need to encourage me in the years to come!

I came across a quote by revivalist Nate Johnson that may fit this season: “Some of you are frustrated feeling as though doors are closing, relationships are ending and favor is lifting but the reality is that God is opening up greater doors, increasing your circle, and giving you favor where you didn’t have it before. When you cross the threshold it is crucial to adjust your lens otherwise you will only see a dead end instead of the promised land.” Can I gently suggest that we adjust our lenses to see farther than where we’ve focused? Life as we know it may be over, but that is the only life we know. There is a new normal that we’ve yet to experience and we must be cautious to not stay focused on the past and be open to the present and the future. When I think about those who went to check out the Promised Land and only two came back with a positive report, I think about how many missed out on the blessings of the new season because of focusing on the wrong thing! They focused on the obstacles instead of the harvest.

I believe the secret to moving from the old into the new is to change our focus. Begin to focus on others. There are countless single moms or dads who would love a hand up. What about seniors who are lonely? There are untold ways we can invest in others! When the focus shifts off of ourselves, we begin to see that there is a whole new world opening to many opportunities for loving, laughing and living. That is the key; shifting the focus off of ourselves and onto others. When we begin to take a vested interest in another life, we can make ALL the difference in the world to that one! Ronald Reagan once said, “We can’t help everyone but everyone can help someone.” When you feel as though you’ve lost someone or something, look and look again.

WADE LETILLEY It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Wade on July 28, 2018 in Grand Forks, B.C. Wade was born to Barry and Debbie Letilley on June 19, 1989 in Moose Jaw, SK. He was the younger brother of Kayley (Ken), and precious Uncle to Chase and Kinsley. He is predeceased by his Uncle Earl, and cherished Grandmas Delphine Fletcher and Mary Letilley, also by his Grandpas Cecil Fletcher and Marcel Letilley who passed before Wade was born. It is impossible to capture the spirit of Wade with words on a page. From the beginning Wade filled our lives with endless laughter and entertainment. He was a determined soul, with a brilliant imagination that carried him throughout his life and adventures abroad. After childhood Wade moved to B.C. to be closer to nature. He loved the mountains and the forest. He enjoyed the wilderness and exploring the land near his place with his dog, Missy. Wade always had a strong connection with animals, from his cat Sneakers, to family pet K.C., to finally his own rescue companion, Missy.

Wade’s eagerness to learn led him to Thailand numerous times. He also travelled to Indonesia, Cambodia, Malaysia, Laos, Philippines and China. He embraced the Eastern philosophies and enjoyed the climate and learning the cultures of the people there. Wade was always keen to share his knowledge and experiences upon his return. Although, not without a struggle, Wade lived courageously with unwavering beliefs and a dedicated commitment to his principles. Wade will forever be celebrated for his passion and purposeful life and will be missed beyond measure. We love you, Wade. A Memorial for Wade will be held at a later date. For those so wishing memorial donations in Wade’s memory may be made to Journey to Hope – Moose Jaw or Moose Jaw Humane Society. In living memory of Wade, a memorial planting will be made by W. J. Jones & Son Funeral Home. Please sign the memorial register at website: www.wjjonesandson.com (Obituaries).

Your hands were strong yet gentle as you held us in your care, You taught us by example every day, No matter what we needed, always you were there, Without a doubt we knew you’d show the way.

We meant the world and all to you and you to us, Which is why it’s just so hard to say goodbye, Your leaving left an emptiness deep inside our hearts, And some days it seems our tears will never dry.

Helen passed away peacefully on August 25th, 2018 at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital.

I think one of the biggest hurdles to overcome in getting the kids ‘back-to-school’ is what to pack for lunches/snacks to feed them throughout the learning year. That was my dilemma! It is no small feat to create healthy food that tastes great and is child-appealing.

Good Nutrition helps students prepare to learn and increases brain functions. There are also a number of studies showing Joan Ritchie EDITOR that nutritional food can influence the cognitive ability and intelligence levels of school-aged children. Malnutrition leads to behavioural problems.

A tip to share: Engage your children in the food decisions and have them help make their lunches. Sandwiches seem to be so blasé these days, but there are many great options out there, compliments of the online gurus who know something about everything.

Here are some ideas: Pizzas… made out of flour tortillas. Spread with tomato or pizza sauce, sprinkle on cheese, chopped turkey/pepperoni or ham and let the little darlings add their favourite chopped veggies. Roll it up like a burrito and cut it into equal halves.

Pasta…Kids love pasta so create a healthy version of a cold pesto pasta salad. Cook whole grain pasta/drain; blend olive oil, basil, pine nuts and garlic; add some greens like spinach, kale or arugula. Blend well in food processor; add salt/pepper and parmesan cheese. Don’t forget the fork in the lunch bag.

Smoothies…fresh fruit (and maybe even some veggies) with liquids such as coconut water or almond milk. Add yogurt in a blender; add fruit (fresh or frozen) and maybe even some flaxseed…consider a spoonful of peanut butter for extra protein for those that can have it. Blend well.

Fresh Fruit is always a great option; sections of orange/ pear/apple in a zip-lock appear more inviting in smaller portions that the fruit as a whole.

Soup; chili or spaghetti & meatballs in a thermos will warm up any child’s belly.

Healthy dessert sweets like dark chocolate and raisins or chocolate covered fruit, or granola bars will satisfy that sweet-tooth.

10 Sandwich-Free Kids’ Lunch Ideas • Food on Sticks. Think chicken satays, beef skewers, or sausage kebabs, packed on lunchbox-sized sticks for kids.

• Quesadillas. ...

• Spring Rolls. ...

• Deli Meat Roll-Ups. ...

• Vegetable Sushi or Onigiri. ...

• Hummus and Pita Plate. ...

• Quinoa Salad…

Learning is exciting at any age but the fuel you need for healthy brain function helps to get you there.

Canadian Mental Health Association celebrates 100 years with “Hope Sings” project Sasha-Gay Lobban

The Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) is celebrating their 100th anniversary this year.

To mark this great milestone of bringing hope to Canadians for 100 years through mental health wellness initiatives, the CMHA, Moose Jaw branch has teamed up with the Saskatchewan Division of the CMHA and Journey to Hope Moose Jaw to present the “Hope Sings” project.

The “Hope Sings” project will see the premier of “The Darkest Hour”, a song written and performed by Nicholas Hennink and produced by Nebulus Entertainment.

The song will premiere on Monday, September 10th on all multimedia platforms. September 10th also marks World Suicide Prevention Day. You can view a teaser of the song at https://www. facebook.com/nicholashennink/ videos/464313874037737/.

Donna Bowyer of the CMHA, Moose Jaw says this was the perfect partnership to mark CMHA’s 100th year. “It’s the 100th anniversary of CMHA. We’ve been in existence since 1918,” Bowyer noted.

She spoke about how the song came about. “I was in a discussion with the facilitator for Journey of Hope [Della Ferguson] because I’m on that committee as well, and I asked her what we could do in order to honor the 100th anniversary. She suggested doing a song because it is something that will last longer than this year that we’re celebrating this milestone 100th,” Bowyer explained.

“We met with Jared Robinson of Nebulus Entertainment and he suggested a performer [Nicholas] he thought would work really well. That was how it started,” Bowyer said. “Since then, Jared and Nicholas came up with the song. They worked on it together and we got going with this project.”

The project, “Hope Sings” seeks to inspire hope and puts a spotlight on mental health. Bowyer says the song does not only soothe but also brings a sense of hope to those who are struggling with mental health. “It is a great song and one of the things we liked about having Nicholas partnering with us is that he is a first responder—he works as an advance paramedic as a frontline responder. He has his own experience as well, as what he sees when he attends to very difficult situations and people struggling with what’s going on. This collab-

oration is just a really good fit,” she said. “And music soothes… there are times when we’re listening to a song and it speaks to us and resonates with us and we get that strength through music.”

Bowyer added that this song is also a call to action. “It has been an excellent journey working with both Jared, Nicholas and Della Ferguson who’s with Journey to Hope. We hope that people will get a sense of hope from this song and it is also a call to action. One of the things the song captures really well is when somebody is struggling, sometimes, it is a friend or neighbor or it’s someone that cares about you that can make that difference. As much as we offer phone numbers and professionals around, we as friends and family and compassionate people can also make an impact on somebody’s life that may be struggling.”

New avenue for honest conversations on mental health Jared Robinson of Nebulus Entertainment who produced the record said he was happy to partner with CMHA and Journey to Hope to create this project. “This project came about, after I was recommended to assist with a plan to create something special for the Canadian Mental Health Association’s100th anniversary. I was thrilled to be a part of it, and suggested one of my current artists, Nicholas Hennink, as a perfect fit. Nicholas being a local paramedic, has worked with many people that have been touched by mental health.”

The song he says has an orchestral feel which is a great fit for him as a composer and Nicholas’ rock ballad sound. “We proceeded to write the single and ended up going with an orchestral feel for the song. Orchestral music is not only a good fit for me as a composer, but we had been working with a fair bit of orchestral music with Nicholas’ other rock ballads, previously,” he said. “Once the song was complete, we took a day to film the video teaser, and I ran with the post-production from there.”

Robinson says he hopes the song will spark more dialogue and honest conversations on the topic of mental health. “Both the Canadian Mental Health Association and Journey to Hope Moose Jaw have

been wonderful to work with, and we’ve agreed to work on another project together in the coming months. I’ve taken these past few weeks to work not only with Nicholas on this very special project, but with a few other artists locally that have been affected by mental health and addiction. It’s not an easy topic, but it is an incredibly important one. I hope that through these works, we can generate another avenue to an open and honest conversation with people who need it.”

For his part, Nicholas Hennink says, he wants to inspire hope and show persons that they are not alone in their fight. He also relates his personal struggles. “It was a blessing that Jared mentioned my name as the person to do this song. I’m writing an album that will hopefully be out later next year and most of my songs are towards that area; recovery, PTSD, struggles and pain. I found myself in a very dark place in the past and I had to fight my way out of it and my goal is that I can reach people through my music to let them know they don’t have to be alone and there are resources out there and help,” he said. “Unfortunately, so many of us struggle alone and don’t realize that; I wanted to make a song that would reach people the best that it possibly could.”
