Saskatchewan Airshow to Return Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

YOUR WEEKLY DOSE OF

The Saskatchewan Airshow is back.

Once a wildly popular annual and biennial event that took place at CFB Moose Jaw and later 15 Wing for decades, the airshow has been on hold since 2005 when two pilots were killed in a mid-air collision during a performance of the ‘Masters of Disaster’ show.

Now, 13 years later, a push by 15 Wing Commanding Officer Col. Denis O’Reilly has come to fruition and the new and improved and rebranded Saskatchewan Air Show will be taking place at 15 Wing during the July 6-7th , 2019 weekend.

“I’m very excited to be here for the return of the airshow in Moose Jaw,” O’Reilly said during a kick-off luncheon on Nov. 16. “Growing up here, aviation has always been part of our culture. I saw the positive impact of the Saskatchewan Airshow on our community and I’m proud to be able to host it now as your 15 Wing Commander... it promises to be an unforgettable experience for all.”

Lt. Gov. Vaughn Schofield has chosen to act as patron for the event and was on-hand to offer her support for the airshow’s return.

“We are so thrilled that the Saskatchewan airshow is back... When Col. O’Reilly first talked to me about this, I was thrilled because I think 15 Wing is the perfect, ideal group and spot to host this event.,” she said. “It’ll be a fantastic time for quality family-bonding; the kids will absolutely love it and what could be better for any air enthusiast? It’s going to be a great time and a lot of fun.”

As could be expected, the local airshow was long a favourite of the Snowbirds air demonstration squad, given their home base is 15 Wing. Having a chance to once again take the air, in front of what is expected to be around 20,000 to 30,000 patrons over the weekend, is something they’re once again looking forward to.

“I was a Snowbirds pilot the last time there was an airshow in

15 Wing commander Col. Denis O’Reilly.

2005 and we’re glad to have it back,” said Commanding Officer Mike French. “It’s always fun to be home, but to be in the middle of show season and home with our families for the better part of a week is awesome. Then, at the same time, to be able to perform for your family and friends in town, it’s great.”

The event – which is being hosted by the combination of 15 Wing, CAE and the City of Moose Jaw – will carry much the same look as previous shows, only with updated amenities and design aimed to make the massive event as positive an experience as possible for all.

Acts and displays are still being booked, with the upcoming International Council of Airshows in Las Vegas expected to fill out the roster substantially. A wide variety of air acts are expected, as well as static displays covering the history of aviation right up to modern times. A kid zone will also be on site, as well as a series of museum displays.

While much is to be confirmed when it comes to nearly every part of the show, French was able to pass on a bit of info prior to the Council of Airshows.

“Being the hometown air show, you have a pretty good in with the Snowbirds and we’ll be here,” he said.

The first show is expected to largely act as a trial run, and a decision on follow-up events will be made at its conclusion, although a biennial schedule is likely.

Former Lt. Gov. Vaughn Schofield is the patron of the newly For more info, including sponsorship opportunities and tickets, re-launched show. check out www.saskairshow.ca.

There are good news stories and encouraging events in Moose Jaw these days. Many Moose Javians, including myself, are excited about the announcement of an Air Show at 15 Wing next summer.

I am always pleased and proud to introduce school groups from Moose Jaw at the Legislature. A Social Studies 30 class from Vanier Collegiate visited the Legislative Building last week, and a class from Peacock Collegiate will be there this week. I appreciate the keen interest the students have in our democratic process, and their participation during their visit.

Several local events highlight the dedication of individuals and organizations in responding to the needs of others.

More than $120,000 was raised at the Moose Jaw Health Foundation Festival of Trees, bringing the total to well over $4 million over the history of the event. Proceeds from Festival will help to purchase a C-Arm imaging unit that will be used extensively for Orthopedic Surgery.

In partnership with the Moose Jaw Kinsmen Club, Moose Jaw Families for Change announced the grand opening of the Kinsmen Inclusion Centre. Their newly-opened facility will allow them to expand the services they offer to individuals facing mental and physical challenges, and their families.

Last week was Restorative Justice Week, a significant time for the Moose Jaw John Howard Society as they as-

sist individuals who are involved in the criminal justice system. They strive to bring about a positive life change for those individuals as well as justice for victims. This year the Moose Jaw John Howard Society celebrated their 60th Anniversary as part of their annual Restorative Justice Week lunch.

Hunger in Moose Jaw marked its 25th Anniversary on November 23rd. In the beginning, the local organization provided school lunches for local students in need. Their programs have expanded beyond providing food, to making long-term improvements in many lives.

A new Police and Crisis Team (PACT) in Moose Jaw will improve how front-line policing services respond to people in mental health crisis situations. PACTs are a collaborative effort between the Saskatchewan Health Authority and local police services. Members of the Moose Jaw Police Service are paired with a mental health professional to respond to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. The goal is to provide the right kind of care to people who are better-served within the community, thereby avoiding emergency department visits and entry into the criminal justice system.

Funding for PACT is in partnership with the federal government, as is funding to improve access to treatment for people with problematic substance use. An agreement with the federal government matches $7.4 million the Province of Saskatchewan has already invested in expanding access to opioid substitution therapy. The agreement will support initiatives to recruit and train health care providers and increase access to treatment for people with opioid or crystal meth dependency.

We are thankful that there are individuals in our community, organizations and other partners, who are passionate about improving the lives of others. Together, we continue to see the work that needs to be done, and come together to make positive change happen. To all who do that, thank you.

An $8.1 million showroom for Moose Jaw Toyota propelled October building permits.

The new showroom is being built on the south side of the Moose Jaw Toyota property and will replace one built more than a quarter century ago. CCR Construction of Regina is the contractor.

The Toyota project and a $2.1 million health authority headquarters in Pioneer Village brought value of October building permits to $10.8 million — an increase of almost 50 per cent over last October.

Another major permit issued by City Hall in October was a $300,000 service station project at 340 River Street West, home of L and B Auto Body.

No new single-family homes were started last month, compared with eight worth $2.5 million last year, New home building for the year declined with 15 worth just over $5 million. Last year, 46 new single-family homes had been started by the end of October.

The $11.5 million decline in new home construction accounts for three-quarters of the construction value decrease in Moose Jaw so far this year.

Value of permits to Oct. 31 was $23.94 million, a reduction of 39 per cent from last year.

From the Olympics to City Hall: Blais is new Parks and Rec. director Matthew Gourlie

Derek Blais always wanted to be a park and rec. director in Saskatchewan -- he just got side-tracked by Hockey Canada for seven years.

Blais was recently named the City of Moose Jaw’s new director of Parks and Recreation and he will assume his post on January 21. “Going to school, my whole goal was to be a rec. director in Saskatchewan somewhere. I kind of got sidetracked,� Blais said.

Blais was the coordinator of Hockey Canada’s men’s national teams and also manager of hockey operations with the national hockey governing body. Following that, he served as recreation manager for the City of Prince Albert for the past fourand-a-half years. “I got a summer job with Hockey Canada and that grew into being a coordinator and then being a manager fairly quickly. I worked with five world juniors and fouror five-men’s worlds teams; I worked with the Olympic team,� Blais said.

His duties with the men’s national team involved the dealing with a lot of the dayto-day details of an elite program under high-pressure conditions -- often in a foreign country. “Basically, my role was any type of lo-

gistical work with the national team -booking flights, meals, hotels, ice times, but also hiring the support staff. So that involved getting the trainers, the therapists, the equipment managers and then working closely with the coaches to ensure they have everything that they need,�

Blais said.

Born in Debden, Blais earned a Bachelor of Applied Business and Entrepreneurship with a major in Sport and Recreation from Mount Royal College in Calgary. Because he always intended to get into parks and recreation, his time with Hockey Canada also allowed him to see how facilities were run in a diverse set of locations. “There was a lot of good experience there from a manager’s point of view, but I also got to see how other communities operate which helps with where I’m going right now,� Blais said. “The opportunity to move to Prince Albert was a chance to get back to what I went to school to do after some amazing experiences with Hockey Canada. Now to be able to further this in Moose Jaw is pretty exciting.�

When Blais starts, he says the first step is to start to get to know the operations and go from there. While Prince Albert is a comparable size in the same province, Blais said that there are differences with

Nearly one in every $20 of city property taxes in arrears

By Ron Walter - For Moose Jaw Express

Property tax arrears for the first nine months of the year have increased by 51 per cent over one year.

Third quarter city finance reports to city council show arrears as of Sept. 30 had climbed to $1.291 million from $854,000 one year ago.

In September of 2016, arrears amounted to $754,000.

Less than 10 per cent of current arrears involve a payment plan where the property owners have agreed to pay arrears.

The city estimates 2018 collection of property taxes at $27.15 million, placing current arrears at 4.7 per cent of the tax levy — nearly one in every $20. ••• According to the quarterly reports Yara Centre has earned $126,000 before a city subsidy of $87,000.

Mosaic Place lost $114,000 before a $216,000 city subsidy. The city has a $401,000 subsidy planned for the combined facilities in 2018. ••• Revenues from all categories of passengers on the city transit system, except adults, are down.

Revenues from fares and advertising of $188,696 met only 16 per cent of operating costs and required a $706,000 subsidy for the first nine months of the year’ Ridership barely changed with 16,023 riders, a decline of 333, or two, per cent.

Transit expenses increased 55 per cent by $410,000 to $1.54 million Largest expense increase was $328,000 for administration. •••

Increased city water rates raised nearly $1 million from taxpayers in the first nine months of this year.

Fifteen per cent water fee increases raised $5.6 million – an increase of 13.7 per cent.

Cost of water production increased 30 per cent to $2.17 million while distribution costs increased 27 per cent to almost $3.3 million.

The water reserves increased by almost $1.3 million. The city plans on obtaining just over $2 million reserves on $10.4 million revenues for the full year.

Derek Blais will start as the City of Moose Jaw’s new director of Parks and Recreation on January 21. what facilities are operated by City staff and which ones are operated by external organizations. “There are definitely a lot of similarities, but there are some differences,� he said. “It will be good to get some of the questions answered as to why certain things are operated a certain way and being able to compare to Prince Albert will be beneficial as well.�

In Prince Albert he oversaw the Recreation Division’s annual operating and capital budgets and managed the planning, design and construction of a myriad of capital projects within the Recreation Division.

Blais knows that there are some issues that need to be addressed going forward once he settles into his role at City Hall. “I know there have been some things that have been talked about -- having a look at the outdoor pool, I understand that’s getting fairly old. Plus, looking at some of the operations with the Yara Centre and Mosaic (Place) and things like that,� Blais said. “Those are some items that I’ve already spoken to (City administration) about and they’ll be some of the pressing items at first.�

While there are a lot of questions about what will happen to the operations at Yara Centre and Mosaic Place in the wake of the dissolution of the Downtown Facility and Field House (DFFH) board in the summer, Blais is entering the job with an open mind. “Coming in with a clean perspective is definitely going to be a benefit,� he said.

Derek and his wife Ashlee are expecting their third child and are looking forward to moving to the Friendly City.

“One gives freely yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.”

Proverbs 11:24 One Christmas we received a Christmas gift from my brother and wife in a mail envelope.

It looked like a Christmas card but was much more. On our behalf, they made a donation to World Vision for chickens Joan Ritchie to be gifted in a third world EDITOR country; a gift that would continue to give…

We live in such an affluent society that, for most of us, we have more than enough in all aspects of material wealth.

Do we really need more stuff?

We were really blessed that they had a heart for the less fortunate and used their financial wealth to bless someone else in our name at Christmas time. That is the true meaning of Christmas! Giving to those who are unable to give back – no strings attached. This brought great joy to my heart!

I’m not sure we would have the same response to waking up on Christmas Day to chickens pecking around the house, but for many around the world, this gift means food - eggs on their plate for many months to come. A chicken can lay up to 250 eggs per year.

In the World Vision catalogue, there are many gifts to choose from, like goats, pigs or chickens, access to clean water, and education supplies. An alpaca can produce up to 5 kilos of wool annually over a 15-20 year span; a cow can produce up to 20 glasses of milk daily, as well can provide income to a household and could also breed a herd of calves over a lifetime; and a beekeeper who would be equipped with a kit and hives could produce up to 50 kilos of honey in a year to sell or trade.

Beautiful hand-crafted gifts are also available and will help support artisans around the world and are unique gifts to put under the tree. These gifts will continue to make a difference in the lives of children well after the Christmas season is done.

If this is something you would like to consider, visit worldvision.ca/gifts for more information.

On a local vein, we don’t have to look far to see need in our own community. There are many less fortunate that would greatly appreciate generosity at Christmas and there is no better charitable organization to donate to than the Salvation Army. Presently, the Moose Jaw Express is accepting financial donations to the Salvation Army in the Stocking Fund. All you have to do is drop by the office and make your cheque out to the Salvation Army in the amount you would like to donate. You will receive a tax receipt and your name will also be mentioned in the Express as a contributor to the Salvation Army Stocking Fund this Christmas. As well, the Salvation Army Kettle Campaign is now underway so give generously as your heart leads you; every little bit helps!

Moose Jaw packs over 1,800 boxes for Operation Christmas Child (OCC) Sasha-Gay Lobban

It has been a record year for Operation Christmas Child (OCC) in Moose Jaw. The community came together to pack and donate 1,850 shoeboxes filled with gifts to send to children in different parts of the world, through the Samaritans Purse’s Operation Christmas Child program.

Operation Christmas Child is a hands-on project that brings joy and hope to children in desperate situations around the world through gift-filled shoeboxes packed by Canadians. Samaritan’s Purse says this is one way to remind children suffering as a result of war, poverty, famine, disease, and disaster that they are loved and not forgotten. Each year, millions of shoeboxes are packed with gifts by people in Canada and nine other “sending” countries and given to children in more than 100 “receiving” countries.

Operation Christmas Child volunteers in Moose Jaw were able to pack up the boxes and send them onto the collection warehouse in Calgary. From there they are distributed to various countries to reach the children, bringing joy and happiness to their hearts.

OCC volunteer Mary Ellen Willis says volunteers work all year long to promote this program and collect shoeboxes. “We had an awesome week with all kinds of groups and individuals of all ages bringing in shoeboxes of joy to the collection center at the Alliance Church in Moose Jaw. Gail Fenwick collected, cleaned, sanitized and repaired over 800 stuffed toys to be sent as fillers. These will be sent to Operation Christmas Child processing center in Calgary to help fill a less than full shoebox. In fact, all our shoeboxes now go to Calgary to the processing center to be checked and processed to go into shipping containers before they head off to one of the 100 countries and into a child’s open arms,” said an excited Willis.

She said many volunteers turned out to help this year, having record numbers of boxes packed. “There was

DEAR MR. Brian SWANSON

___________________________

I sincerely thank you for the way you care about our family business (Moose Jaw).

I have been here for 18 years and I always have seen you putting the interest of the less fortunate taxpayer at the forefront of your thinking and I always admire your courage for doing so.

If we could, in my view, have more like-minded people like you working on our behalf, I believe our City would be in much better shape and more citizens would be happy to call this place home.

Again, I thank you for your unwavering dedication to the well-being of our community.

a packing party held at the Victory Church on November 2 and a large number of the packers from church as well as the community packed 737 shoeboxes in three hours. This is a record breaker for them. Who knows how many children will be blessed in future packing parties?” Willis added. “There are always a few late coming in and then there are the shoeboxes that are packed online, so our grand total will go even higher!”

She says a team of volunteers will be heading to Calgary to assist in sorting boxes. “There is a team going from Moose Jaw and area to the Calgary processing center to help sort the boxes on November 28 to 30. If anyone wishes to come for an awesome adventure, please contact Mary Ellen at 306-6934861. There are a few spots open.”

Why I am Asking our Mayor to Apologize to Moose Jaw Citizens

________________________________________

Our Mayor, in an interview with a local media on June 18-2018, said, among other things, that he wanted to address things like better engagement from residents because he said residents have been pushing back against items that City Hall has been trying to implement in recent years like the LIP program, the curb-side recycling, and High St W.

This part of his interview is where I believe our Mayor got out of order, so-to-speak. He should apologize to the 8000 taxpayers who rejected by vote the LIP program, and apologize to all those citizens with back lanes who didn’t want to move their garbage bin into our beautiful streets (and to those affected by High Street West road drama).

I will not get into all the good reasons why the great majority of the taxpayers of this city rejected those ideas presented; many already know them. For those who may not know about all the good reasons why the citizens have rejected those ideas could learn about them by looking at the city council video archive of those times and find out why the ideas were rejected.

The citizen, co-owner of a corporation who stood up for what they wanted should be given an award for their wisdom instead of being judged negatively by our own Mayor.

I do appreciate the Mayor for his desire to revitalize our City in many ways, but branding our city has bad people pushing back against what they don’t like. It may not be one of the 13 best way to care for the health of our community.

Best Regards.

Sask. Polytech. honours Louis Riel’s memory

SARM delegates want province to restore $1.5 million in rat control

By Ron Walter - For Agri-Mart Express

Matthew Gourlie

It was a cold, blustery morning, but that didn’t stop two dozen people from gathering at Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Moose Jaw campus to see the Métis flag raised in honour of Louis Riel Memorial Day. “This is the day our Métis people, our father, our forefather, was taken from us unjustly,” said Xavier Fisher, coordinator for the Indigenous Student Centre at the Moose Jaw campus of Sask. Polytech. “This is a day we like to signify and recognize continuously and annually. Sask Polytech has taken it upon ourselves to be a supporter and recognize it as such for the Indigenous people.”

Riel, leader of the Métis people and the founder of Manitoba, was hanged on Nov. Laverne Trudel, left, president of the Southern Plains Métis Local 160 and Rosemarie Zaba Stew16, 1885.

Laverne Trudel, president of the Southern Plains Métis Local 160 and Moose Jaw Wakamow MLA Greg Lawrence, also part of the local Métis community, were on hand as well.

Lawrence said that it was “a good day to remember our past” and acknowledges that the government needs to continue to work towards reconciliation.

AGRIMART

EXPRESS Rural municipal officials want the Saskatchewan government to re-instate funding for a province-wide rat control program.

Provincial funding for rat control was reduced in severe budget cuts two years ago to $1.4 million with $900,000 this year.

Funding is supposed to fall to $500,000 in 2019.

Ninety-seven per cent of delegates to the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) midterm convention in Saskatoon voted for restoration of full rat control funding.

Funds from the rat control program have been re-directed to a new Pest Bio-security Program that covers rats, beavers and plant diseases like club root in canola.

Rats have been an issue in the province since the 1920s. In the 1980s, municipalities under the ADD boards started developing rat control programs to reduce the multi-million-dollar annual damage by the prolific pest.

Over the years, most RMs took part. With a renewed effort in the early 2000s, the program made a substantial dent in rat populations and damage.

In other resolutions, SARM delegates voted overwhelmingly by 74 per cent to ask the provincial government to deny crop insurance coverage to canola growers who plant the oilseed on the same field two years in a row.

Back-to-back canola crops increase the risk of club root disease. The deadly disease has been confirmed on 37 Saskatchewan farms so far.

Three-quarters of SARM delegate supported a return to the coyote control program.

And all but four per cent voted against a resolution asking that rural municipal elections be synchronized with urban municipal elections.

Urban municipal elections are held every four years while rural municipal elections are held every two years alternating between odd and even numbered divisions.

Local students earn Duke ofMatthew Edinburgh’s International Award Gourlie Congratulations to four local students who pushed themselves beyond their comfort zones to earn an international award.

Vanier seniors Sophia Grajczyk, Jenna Meili and Jane Morris, plus Vanier alumnus Isabella Grajczyk, who is currently studying at the University of Regina, earned the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award at a ceremony hosted by Saskatchewan Lieutenant Governor W. Thomas Malloy on Oct. 28.

“It’s one of the best kept secrets. It’s an international program that was set up by the Queen’s husband, Prince Phillip,” explained Vanier teacher Christa Lapointe.

“It’s all about growth and development and trying something new and getting outside of your comfort zone, but what is unique to you as an individual.”

The Duke of Edinburgh Award is broken down into four components: service, skill development, physical recreation and adventurous journey. There are three levels of achievement -- gold, silver and bronze -- that require increasing levels of time and commitment to attain. Sophia and Isabella Grajczyk were both gold award winners, while Morris and Meili won their silver award, but both have already begun working towards their gold award.

“I’m a very busy person with my extracurriculars, so I could actually get some credit for what I do already, and I thought that was amazing,” said Morris who is off to the University of Manitoba in the fall where she will play on the women’s soccer team.

For Morris, who also recently competed in the Canada Winter Games speed skating trials, the physical recreation component was easy. However, the program also encouraged her to devote more time to Vanier’s robotics club as she earned 109 hours for her skill component.

“It’s really fun and it opens up a lot of doors to new opportunities,” Morris said.

“We go to an international competition every year called FIRST Robotics in Calgary. We met people from other countries there like Israel, Mexico, Turkey and America.

“I got so much out of Duke of Ed, honestly. There are new skills that I didn’t know that I could learn. Robotics has been really great for me personally. I’ve got an interest in STEM and that opened doors for me in that regard. I didn’t realize be-

I actually got my coaching courses for speed skating and soccer and I’ve been coaching kids ever since. And I hope to continue.”

The youth achievement award is open to students between the ages of 14-24 and since its inception in 1959, more than 10 million youth in 130 countries have been recognized.

Lapointe said that one of the things she likes about the Duke of Edinburgh program is its flexibility. While some participants are natural athletes, others use yoga or going to the gym as their physical recreation. Some of the participants had a skill like playing the piano, while others had to find something they were interested in and work on it.

“We’re had students with special needs who were in wheelchairs who completed the program,” Lapointe explained. “It doesn’t have to be restricted to physical activity in that regard. You can do more of an expedition which is more of a learning-based trip. If there’s a learning disability or a physical disability -- or any other barriers or challenges -- then the program will work with them to make

sure that the program can still work for them and there can still be growth.”

Isabella Grajczyk began the program in high school, but still saw enough benefit to complete her gold level after graduating.

“I like what the program stands for and the benefits it can have,” Isabella Grajczyk said. “If you’re at all interested you should at least try it. Try the bronze. It’s not for everyone. People have different things going on in their lives and it can be a commitment, but if you’re already doing some of the things, I definitely would recommend it. There is so much personal growth... you have to go out of your comfort zone to do a lot of the things.”

Grajczyk is in her second year as a Secondary Education student in Regina she said program made her more organized as she juggled different Duke of Edinburgh components with the rest of her life and school work. She feels those skills have helped prepare her for university.

Taking part in the program encouraged Grajczyk to get involved in the cross-country running team at Vanier which then led to her running track as well.

Accepting Applicants for Agriculture Mentorship Program AGRIMART

EXPRESS A Saskatchewan agricultural mentorship program has been launched to be delivered by Canadian Western Agribition with $100,000 in funding for Next Gen Agriculture. Next Gen Agriculture is funded through the Public Trust Pillar of the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, a five-year, $388 million investment in strategic initiatives for Saskatchewan agriculture by the federal and provincial governments.

The objective of the program is to develop young people in agriculture in a leadership capacity to prepare them to take active roles in industry leadership, governance and efforts to build public trust.

The program aims to accept eight applicants for an 18-month mentorship beginning in February 2019.

Applicants should have clear leadership goals and objectives and exhibit strong leadership potential.

More information about the program is available online at www.saskatchewan.ca/CAP.

km hikes.

“Obviously, I had been camping, but not to that extent. I had never had to hike 60 kilometres over three days,” said Grajczyk who completed her gold adventurous journey in Cypress Hills with her sister and Morris. “You definitely make bonds with the people you go on those journeys with. You all hike the same kilometres, so you really get to know one another on those hikes. I think I would do something similar in the future, but maybe not so much hiking.”

Sophia Grajczyk felt that adventurous journey was the most challenging part of the program. She has also taught young children how to skate and was on the Vanier SRC and yearbook committee.

“It’s a great learning experience,” she said. “I had to keep myself accountable for tracking all of the things I was doing and making sure I got done everything I planned to get done. There was a lot of responsibility.”

Vanier has plenty of good initiatives for their students, Meili volunteered at Riverside Mission and was also active in Valhalla and Vanier’s Best Buddies program, as was Isabella Grajczyk. Valhalla is a welcoming event for incoming Grade 9s at Vanier “It helps bridge the gap between the Grade 12s and the Grade 9s and makes sure the school is a more welcoming environment for them,” Meili explained. “Best Buddies is also a program at the school where you get paired up with a person who has a disability and once a week we get out for lunch with them or take them to a Warrior game and it helps make connections.”

Meili also helped create Sets4Supper, a charity volleyball game featuring local high school all-stars and celebrities to raise money for Riverside Mission that will be held on Dec. 1 at 1 p.m. at Vanier.

She plans on completing her gold level adventurous journey with an ambitious trip to the Rocky Mountains. Despite the volunteer initiatives and a challenging journey ahead, she said it was her skill that has been the biggest challenge so far.

“The skill was definitely the most difficult because I chose cooking as my skill and sometimes it doesn’t come the most easily. There may have been a burnt meal, but I definitely have become a better cook,” Meili said.

Dixon sees great potential in local economy

The City of Moose Jaw’s new Manager of Economic Development Jim Dixon won’t need any time to get up to speed.

Dixon has held the position on an interim basis since July of 2017. On Nov. 8, the City announced Dixon has secured the position full-time after what City Manager Jim Puffalt called a search across North America.

Dixon is excited to carry on the work he has started in the past 18 months.

“There have been lots of projects that have been started that we’re trying to get across the finish line.

So that’s been exciting. The potential is there for so Jim Dixon has been named the City of Moose Jaw’s many good projects and several new projects have full-time manager of economic development. come along,” Dixon said.

tions in a meaningful way. Our tourism is very strong obviously. We have an incredible history. We have a unique downtown which differentiates us from other communities. We’re the envy of many areas. We want to build on those things and build on our strengths.”

Dixon added that the “economic corridor” between Moose Jaw and Regina also provides a lot of opportunities in manufacturing and servicing.

While foreign investment can help spark growth, Dixon said that the numbers show that keeping your established local industries and business strong and growing is vital.

“We’re working closely with a lot of our existing businesses and industry to help them grow and expand,” Dixon said. “Seventy-five per cent of all business growth and increase in jobs in a community and tax base is based on existing companies growing. So that’s a big area we look at.”

Dixon is pleased with how the local retail sector has been able to continue growing through some tough economic times.

“While the economy is going to continue to grow with oil and gas and mining and things like that, we still have some good strengths,” he said. “We have a vibrant retail/service sector here with the new developments around Civic Centre Plaza and on Thatcher Drive. There is some good growth happening. Moose Jaw seems to be able to weather the storm fairly well.”

While Dixon said he is always trying to get new projects off the ground and other projects started -- he said growing the economy never stops -- he is excited about some things that have been recently finalized.

“There’s going to be some really good news coming in the next couple of months here,” Dixon said.

TRADING THOUGHTS

Canadian First Nations not a conquered people under treaty system

by Ron Walter

One of the financial barons in the Canadian oil patch was recently venting his frustrations over the inability to get oil pipelines built.

On this business television program, he was one of a long line of oil patch people justifiably upset that Canada has not built a pipeline to move increased

oil production to market.

He was listing the reasons why the pipeline is needed and the losses to industry and government royalties, when he made a comment that showed a total ignorance of Canadian history.

To paraphrase, he said no conquering nation has ever consulted the conquered nation about how to do things. He clearly implied he believed First Nations people are a conquered people.

Nothing could be further from the truth, although large numbers of Canadian believe the white man and his culture was the conqueror, and the First Nations were the conquered.

The treaty process used to obtain surrender of lands from the indigenous residents, in exchange for promise of a welfare system to look after these impoverished residents who no longer had bison as a reliable food source, treated the indigenous residents as nations of their own, as all treaties do.

That is where many Canadians, including this financial mogul on TV, do not understand history.

The white culture and the First Nations culture agreed to share the country.

Some observers may wish the white man had conquered the indigenous residents. It might make life simpler for non-indigenous residents. But that did not happen.

If you think the white man made a bad deal, look back at the times. White leaders were certain their “superior” culture and Christian values would soon be adopted by the “inferior” people signing the treaties.

To ensure they adopted “superior” culture and Christian values, white leaders encouraged missionaries, took children from their parents and sent them to residential schools for education in white ways and Christian values, where the youngsters suffered all manner of psychological, physical and sexual abuse.

The youngsters weren’t allowed to speak their language. The parents on the reserves weren’t allowed to have traditional ceremonies of their culture.

Agriculture was encouraged on the reserves. In cases where indigenous farmers became too successful, pressure from local farmers ended their access to off-reserve markets.

Until the 1960s, nobody was allowed off the reserve for a visit or business, unless they had a pass from the Indian agent. The First Nations were treated like a conquered people.

In recent decades, well-educated First Nations leaders have used negotiations and the courts to seek a re-dress for wrongs, for lands taken after treaties were signed.

And they have asserted rights available to another

nation within Canada as laid out in treaties.

The questions arise: Where will this end? What do the First Nations want?

No one knows where negotiations or courts will take us, especially when some politicians and supporters still view the First Nations as a conquered people.

In the extreme, non-indigenous people will pay a royalty to the indigenous people for the right to use and exploit their surrendered lands. We will live in interesting times.

Someone said, “Next time we make s’mores we

by Dale “bushy” Bush should wrap them in bacon.

After that moment of stillness when everybody is actually considering the idea, Mrs. B broke the silence and offered to go get the ingredients. We had a few guests over for a small fire down at our well-equipped treehouse and a cast-iron frying pan warmed and ready by the time my bride returned with chocolate, graham wafers, marshmallows and …bacon. After some precision production preparations, we were munching on bacon-wrapped s’mores. They couldn’t have tasted better! Who would have thought?

Apparently, many other people!

I know there are folks who will try anything with bacon in the recipe or name, including the “Footloose” guy Kevin Bacon. To be honest with you, I am not one of those guys… or am I? I do enjoy bacon, eggs and pancakes for breakfast (when we travel) and I do love a good BLT from Jim Nortons. And if asked, I

Bacon Bits

will add a few strips of bacon to my hamburger. Did I mention bacon on my pizza? I guess I am a baconhead! There is comfort in knowing I am not alone, but I have concerns that the trend to baconize everything may leave a bad taste in my mouth.

How could I improve a perfect Bacon/Lettuce/Tomato sandwich? By adding “Baconnaise” the real bacon flavoured mayonnaise of course. Do my lips look cracked and chapped? Don’t worry! I will use some “JD’s Bacon flavoured Lip Balm” and when I am craving bacon from my lip-licking good bacon lip balm, I will enjoy an Elvis sandwich which is a bacon-peanut-butter-banana concoction served on toasted white bread. When I need to remove bits and pieces of an Elvis sandwich from my choppers, I will pull out my bacon flavoured toothpicks or some bacon flavoured dental floss and pick and clean away…

Or, I could swish some Bacon flavoured Diet Coke.

Yup, a big corporation like Coca Cola saw the wisdom in joining the bacon revolution and have a number of bacon flavoured products. Other biggies like Nabisco with Bacon Ritz Crackers, Ben and Jerry’s with Bacon Vanilla ice-cream, and Lays with Bacon Mac and Cheese potato chips have entered the baconized markets. It seem there will be more corporate baconating.

Bacon and chocolate worked well in our s’mores.

In fact, there are thousands of recipes that combine the two flavours in home kitchens. but there are

also many prepared baconized desserts available if you are lazy like me. There is a legendary bacon flavoured chocolate bar “Vosages” that uses applewood-smoked bacon dipped in 62% dark chocolate/milk chocolate and then rolled in roasted almond chips. If your mouth is watering like mine, it won’t be when you discover this decadent treat will cost you 12 bucks a bar plus shipping. Bacon flavoured cupcakes are a rage but I know a guy who got a bacon cake for his birthday, just a regular chocolate cake that was airbrushed to look like bacon. It’s the thought that counts.

After some bacon flavoured desserts, a baconhead might want to sip some Bakon Vodka or some Bacon flavoured whiskey mixed with bacon flavoured Diet Coke. Care for an after dinner mint? There are a plethora of bacon candies available including bacon mints, bacon jellybeans, bacon gummi strips, bacon suckers, bacon gumballs…well you get the idea.

In reality, guess I am a baconhead! I will try anything new with a comfortable flavour…bacon. Are you a baconhead, too?

Briercrest presents ‘The Heart of Christmas’

MOOSEJAWEXPRESS.COM • Wednesday, November 28, 2018 • PAGE A9

Sasha-Gay Lobban

Briercrest will be hosting its annual Christmas show on November 30 to December 2 at the Briercrest College and Seminary in Caronport.

The event is expected to host up to 2,000 people who will come out to see the annual Christmas show that has been going on for the past 25 years there.

This year’s show, “The Heart of Christmas” promises to be an exciting kick-off to the Christmas season.

An Original Dramatic Musical About the show “The Heart of Christmas”: A train rolls into a small mountain town where the inhabitants hesitantly welcome their unN OV E M B E R 30 - D EC EMBER 2, 2018 Briercrest College & Seminary, Caronport, SK usual new pastor. On the same train, two sisters arrive with the dream of starting a diner.

While the town unfairly rejects the girls despite the teachings of their new pastor, an avalanche threatens not only the town’s ChristBRIERCREST.CA/CHRISTMAS 1.888.462.2202 mas festivities but the safety of its citizens. In the face of jealousy, fear and doubt, the townspeople must draw together and learn the pastor’s lesson: that the most generous gift is one offered from the heart. The Heart of Christmas is a story of hope, forgiveness and reconciliation that will warm your heart and prepare you for the Christmas season.

“There has been a Christmas production at Briercrest for 25 years now, but every year the story is different. This year, there are 20 cast members, 11 people on the production team, 22 people in the orchestra, 15 dancers, and four (4) different choirs from around Caronport who will be featured in the show,” explained Keira Applegate, Media Production Coordinator at Briercrest.

“The production features a mass choir with many traditional carols, orchestra, dancers, soloists, and an original drama. In addition to the students, staff and community residents that take part in the actual production, many more serve as volunteers behind the scenes in guest services,” Applegate said. “Guests can expect to be drawn into a heart-warming and uplifting story of generosity set against the backdrop of social hostility and danger. The musical is approximately 2 ½ hours in length, which includes a 20-minute intermission.”

Ticket prices for the show are: Adults: $18.00 Children (12 and under): $12.00 Family rate: $50.00 (2 adults & 2 kids, additional Children $5 each) Group rate: For every 10 adult tickets purchased, receive 1 free!

Tickets can be purchased through Briercrest’s website at www.briercrest.ca/Christmas or by calling 1-888-462-2202 (Mon-Fri from 9 am-4 pm). The website also has more information about the cast, and meal and accommodation options in Caronport.

Applegate said, “Audiences travel from all over Saskatchewan to attend, as well as many other provinces (and states). This year we have guests coming from Whitehorse, YT, Montreal, QC, and Prince Edward Island.”

This year, the four performances take place: Friday Nov. 30, 2018 at 7:00 pm Saturday Dec. 1, 2018 at 2:30 pm and 7:00 pm Sunday, Dec. 2, 2018 at 2:30 pm.

Farm safety reps urge wearing protective gear

By Ron Walter -For Agri-Mart Express

AGRIMART

EXPRESS Just like buckling up your seatbelt before driving, farmers ought to use protective gear when farming.

That’s the message from Janice Donkers, farm safety youth co-ordinator with Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.

Many different hazards exist on the farm work place, says Donkers. While some things like a broken ladder or rotating PTO may easily be recognized by young workers, others hazards like exposure to dust, chemicals and noise may not be understood.

If hazards can’t be eliminated, she suggests minimizing them with use of gloves, protective footwear, hearing protection or

respirators. it to be used.

“Decisions about protecting your hearing, eyesight and skin can have lifelong impacts, good or bad.

“Some exposures are cumulative. Each exposure to loud noise increases risk of hearing loss. Nothing can reverse hearing loss once damage is done.” she said.

“Other hazards are acute causing damage immediately, such as chemical splashes to the eyes.”

Parents should lead by role modelling, that is, wearing protective gear themselves at all times on the job. Youngsters seeing that gear worn at all times regard it as necessary action.

Moose Jaw Health Foundation fundraiser features stunning creativity in support of charity Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

A unique sculpture fitting the ‘Fire and Ice’ theme was on hand at the Festival of Trees.

Few events in Moose Jaw compare to the prestige and generosity seen during the Festival of Trees.

The annual Moose Jaw Health Foundation fundraiser has evolved into the premier occasion of its kind during the holidays in the city, annually raising in excess of $100,000, while showing off some of the most incredible Christmas-related displays one can find in the city and beyond.

The 2018 edition of the event was no exception, as trees and displays featuring a wide variety of themes wowed onlookers, making sure that the auction of the vignettes raised funds as prolific as years past.

“I’m honoured to be a part of it. I get the privilege of working with the most talented volunteers in Saskatchewan, quite frankly, that create the Festival of Trees every year for the community and this year is no different,” said Kelly McElree, executive director of the Moose Jaw Health Foundation. “Our chair Jackie d’Entremont and her team put hundreds and hundreds of hours into this event, all leading up to an incredible evening for everyone...

It’s great to see so many businesses, companies and individuals in Moose Jaw come out and support this event.”

The fundraising aim for this year is the purchase of a new digital imaging C-arm for the orthopedic surgery department. The mobile, adjustable device offers on-the-fly imaging during procedures and can help surgical teams work with patients needing urgent medical care.

“We want to ensure that when people need orthopedic surgery, they can have it closer to home and that’s only possible with the efforts of generous donors, businesses, individuals, volunteers, people who put in auction items, all for the Festival of Trees,” McElree said.

The funds raised over the years have been used for a wide variety

Enchanted Dream by the Jameson and McCready Families. of devices and equipment at both the old and new hospitals, and the amount raised is staggering – over $4 million in 27 years, translating to over $140,000 a year.

The event features a dinner and a live and silent auction, in addition to the highlight of the evening – the tree auction, where all the stunningly decorated offerings are sold off to the highest bidder.

The tree auction saw the ‘Lobby Tree’ currently set up in F. H. Wigmore Hospital bring in $18,000 alone from Charles Vanden Broek of Murray GM; in total, the evening’s fundraising efforts cleared more than $120,000.

“It was another incredible night,” McElree said. “We’re always amazed by the generosity of everyone who supports the Festival of Trees and this year was no exception.

In earlier days, the selection of Christmas gifts depended greatly on what was offered in the pages of the Simpsons-Sears and Eaton’s catalogues.

The arrival of those books of treasures was a highlight in every rural home where hours and hours were spent leafing through the pages, making notes for Santa and the parents and grandparents, sisters and brothers.

And for weeks before Christmas, mysterious packages came to homes, were opened in secret corners and merchandise hidden away, or horrors, returned to the supplier for a larger or smaller size, even substitution of items that didn’t quite live up to the descriptions in the catalogues.

Then Eatons discontinued catalogue publications for all seasons and special Joyce Walter occasions, and soon Sears followed suit, and rural shoppers had to visit the For Moose Jaw Express cities and larger towns to shop in person, poking around the shelves to find the perfect gifts.

In some ways Amazon and other online shopping opportunities have taken the place of those giant retail shopping books and some other outlets are periodically sending out their own versions of catalogue shopping experiences.

But that same excitement does not exist the way it did back in the good old days of my childhood and even those days when we in our household were much younger. We would sit at the kitchen table browsing and figuring out the best possible purchases — if we had the disposable income or weren’t dedicated to shopping as locally as much as possible.

The leather coat I bought from the Sears Wish Book lasted for 10-plus years and was only sidelined because it shrunk while stored in the closet for the summer.

So now I spend time looking through the flyers and mini books that come into the house, wondering if they contain that special gift that would be suitable for someone on our list of recipients.

Would the nephews enjoy a fish mug that changes colour with hot or cold beverages? Or how about the garden sculpture of a boy who appears to be peeing on a tree stump? No wait, there’s the fold-up walking stick with a built in LED light for reading maps or street signs in the dark.

I’m sure the nieces would enjoy a set of measuring spoons shaped like chicken or cat heads; a pair of light-up shoe laces in blue or red or buy two pair and mix ’n’ match; or maybe an egg maker as seen on television, suitable for cooking any kind of egg.

Sadly, I was never able to purchase, or receive, the one item that glittered blindingly on the pages of the Eaton’s catalogue. In my childish enthusiasm, and not knowing much then about decimal points and their appropriate placement, I found the perfect gift for my Mom — a beautiful necklace with sparkly stones, for the meagre sum of $2.99.

When I showed my Dad, he grinned and shook his head, explaining he couldn’t afford it and if he did, Mom would be afraid to wear it.

The price was actually $299.00, a fortune in those days and an unheard-of amount to be spent on one single gift. It was indeed the thought that counted and while I can’t remember what she received from me that year, I’m sure she was satisfied with whatever she unwrapped.

But I do miss those catalogues, especially now that I know where to place the decimal.

Vintage photos hold precious memories at Homestead Aerial Sasha-Gay Lobban

Individuals experienced a bit of nostalgia when they visited the Homestead Aerial travelling photo archive that was available for viewing at the Town ‘n Country Mall.

Homestead Aerial, a Calgary based company stopped in Moose Jaw to share aerial photos of farms, small towns, churches and businesses dating back as far as the 1950s.

The business specializes in Aerial photography, using their remote-control drone allowing for steady, high quality aerial shots of almost any building, personal or commercial events and functions, as well as elevation photos for high rise construction to help pre-sale the view of condos. They are Transport Canada certified.

Homestead Aerial also maintains a large library of aerial land, farm and building photos from 1953 to 2001. They do custom framing for any picture with several formats and options to choose from.

“These photos contain lots of memories for people and they hold them close to their hearts...”

-Kim Bessette

For one customer, visiting Aerial Photo’s booth at the mall led to a pleasant surprise. Allan Ganzer came in search of aerial shots of his father’s yard for his children who wanted a picture of the yard where they shared many childhood memories. Surprisingly, not only did Ganzer find what his children have been searching for,

Kim Bessette, Homestead Aerial Photo at the Town N’ Country Mall. but he also found an original photo of his grandfather’s home/yard in Reward Town, Sk. Ganzer was excited to find these memories. “It was important for me to come here today to search for something that’s close to the family. My children have been looking for some aerial photos of their grandfather’s yard that they remembered as children. I didn’t realize that these people had photos back as far as they do.

I’ve actually found photos of the original yard, and one of my grandfather’s yard too. So, I’m going to talk to other family members and see if they want copies. We go to Calgary fairly regular, so I’ll even drop in to see Homestead Aerial again when I’m there to look at more

of their photos,” he said. “The year that I was looking for was 1990 to 1992. I’m impressed that Homestead had photos back that far. I didn’t realize they took aerial photos in that era, as far back as the 1950s. It is pretty neat to see.”

Owner Kim Bessette said even though customer traffic was steady during the two days, most people found what they were looking for; whether it was a farm, small town or commercial building. “Mainly, what we found here in Moose Jaw is people looking for farms all over the province, not just the Moose Jaw district. We had a lady from north Winnipeg who visited us, as well as people from Alberta. We never get to bring enough photos but for persons looking for more photos, we can find those back at the office in Calgary. The turn out was really good and a lot of people found what they were searching for as well as places they were not even looking for, so it was good to be in Moose Jaw. These photos contain lots of memories for people and they hold them close to their hearts because some of these photos are even personalized, whereas they would see people walking in the yard or on the farm when the photos were taken.”

Homestead Aerial Photo says its mission is, “helping families preserve a small piece of their family history through the archival library, so that it may be passed down and an accurate photo of the hard work that was put into the family homestead.”

One Sweet Dream Pottery Brings Joy…stoneware, ornaments and lots more for that perfect Christmas gift Sasha-Gay Lobban

Moose Jaw’s arts community continues to thrive. New local artists get an opportunity to display their work as they tap into their artistry and explore their talents.

New artist Beth Barrett made her debut at this year’s Moostletoe Tour but continues to open her studio for those interested.

Barrett specializes in pottery where she fires mostly functional cone six stoneware (dishwasher and microwave safe) and ornaments, and has recently explored tiling on mosaic pieces. If you haven’t grabbed your Christmas gifts yet, Barrett’s One Sweet Dream Pottery is a great place to start!

Barrett’s journey in pottery began about five years ago when she attended a class with Moose Jaw’s Wendy Parsons. She fell in love with the art and has not looked back since. “I started pottery about five years ago. My husband got me a class because I’ve always wanted to try it. It was a class with Wendy Parsons. On the first night, I fell totally in love with clay and pottery,” said an excited Barrett. “I subsequently joined the Pottery Club and I was a member for about four years. I took multiple classes here in Moose Jaw, as well as some online courses and I did additional research on my own.”

Even though she is lover of all art forms, Barrett says she has always had a passion to do pottery. “I’ve always been fascinated with pottery. I’ve done a lot of different crafts throughout the years, but I found that there are so many choices

within pottery. It pulls from a lot of the different crafts out there, for example, sewing. There is just so much you can learn from pottery with so many variations in it and I love to explore them.”

After learning more about pottery, this inspired Barrett to build her own studio.

“Shortly after, I converted one of my rooms to a hand-building room and purchased a wheel a few years later so that I can do more pottery at home. I have my own studio at home now.”

She loves to create practical pieces for everyday use. Whether it is a coffee mug, plate or just an ornament or accessory, Barrett says she loves to create

things that people can use consistently. “I mostly create functional ware— things you can use, because I’m very practical. So, mugs, bowls, plates and cups are very common items I make. I also make some ornaments and I’ve also branched out a little into tile work where I collaborate with a family member who does mosaic pieces.”

“I love to try new and different ways to do pottery. I get a lot of joy out of it.”

As a result of the happiness she gets from pottery, Barrett loves to share this joy with others by teaching her own private classes from time to time. “I love to share this joy I have from pottery with

other people. So typically, when people come and do pottery with me, they find it very relaxing and peaceful.”

As her craft develops, Barrett has been participating in local events in the arts community that has brought some of her work into the spotlight. For example, she participated in Moostletoe this year, an experience that she says was a great one. “My husband and I attended last year and went around to see all the artists and what they offered. I was honored to be asked this year to be part of that because they are all such great artists. It felt great meeting and talking to people about some of the pieces I had available.”

If you’re looking for a perfect and practical Christmas gift this year, Barrett offers a variety of options you can explore.

The best way to get a hold of Beth Barrett is through her Facebook page at One Sweet Dream Pottery. “Once you contact me via messenger, we can go from there,” she says.

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Aircraft training operations show top-notch returns for investors A Canadian business rivalry over pilot training ended this fall when CAE paid $645 million for the remainder of Bombardier’s pilot training operations.

Acquisition of Bombardier’s business aviation training unit ended a nearly two-decade old competition in aviation training. Around 2000, both companies embarked on ambitious pilot training programs.

CAE decided to expand from building and selling aircraft flight simulators into pilot training, while Bombardier saw pilot training as a new line of business to aircraft manufacturing operations.

One of Bombardier’s ventures was a unique public-private NATO military pilot training partnership at 15 Wing Moose Jaw with a 20-year contract.

That contract was sold to CAE three years ago for $19.8 million. At that point, CAE trained 120,000 air crew and pilots annually.

The company’s second quarter report, recently released, indicated the global operations will train 135,000 pilots and another 45,000 crew members this year.

Company revenues of $2 billion then compare with six-month revenues of $1.46 billion — putting the company on track for nearly a 50 per cent revenue increase in three years.

Order backlog, a benchmark of future revenues, was $8.7 billion at Sept. 30, a year-over-year increase of 25 per cent.

Three years ago, the order backlog was around $2 billion.

Clearly, CAE has really prospered in the last three years.

Investors have done well, as well. The share price was $15.65 then. The recent $26.29 price gave investors a 65 per cent gain in this short period and a modest annual dividend averaging 1.5 per cent – nothing shabby about that return.

By comparison, the Toronto Stock Exchange Composite index gained about six per cent in 2016 and 2017 and has lost 7.5 per cent so far this year.

CAE stock is for investors with a belief in the future growth of the aircraft industry and the demand for pilot and crew training in both simulators and in-air.

The stock price, around 20 times earnings and a very healthy 13 times cash flow, is no bargain, just as it wasn’t in 2015. Investors are willing to pay a premium for CAE shares, based on the earnings track record and expected growth.

Meanwhile, CAE’s entry to Moose Jaw has proven beneficial not only from corporate sponsorships but as a prod to build the local municipal airport to the potential that was envisioned in the 1970s when the airport was first developed.

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

Bizworld does not recommend investments.

From The Kitchen

Pot ato e s s h o w u p i n c o o k i e s a n d c a n d y

By Joyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express

The potato is definitely a versatile kitchen staple — mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, boiled and baked potatoes right through to the popular potato chips.

But sometimes they are used in dishes that one would never imagine — cakes, cookies, candies and puddings.

This week’s recipes come from a cookbook devoted entirely to “The Incredible Potato.â€? ••• Potato Pecan Cookies 1/2 cup softened butter 3/4 cup brown sugar 1 large egg 1 tsp. vanilla 1/4 cup ground pecans 3/4 cup hot mashed potatoes 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp. soda 1/4 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. cinnamon or cloves whole pecans Cream butter then add sugar a little at a time. Add egg and beat well. Add vanilla, ground pecans and mashed potatoes and beat well. Add sifted flour, soda, salt and

spices to butter mixture. Form into 1 inch balls and place on cookie sheet. Place a portion of a whole pecan in the centre and press down lightly.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on rack and then store in a cool cupboard or refrigerator. ••• Coconut Potato Kisses 1 cup mashed potatoes 2 tbsps. softened butter 2 cups icing sugar 3 tbsps. cocoa 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. salt 1 cup flaked and sweet coconut Prepare potatoes and beat until all lumps have been removed. Keep warm.

Beat in butter and sugar until thoroughly blended. Mix in cocoa, vanilla, salt and coconut. If too stiff, add up to 2 tbsps. more butter.

Drop by teaspoonful onto waxed paper placed in a large container. Let harden in refrigerator for a few minutes.

Makes about 2 lbs. of candy.

••• Potato Peanut Butter Candy 1/2 cup cold mashed potatoes 1/4 cup soft butter 1 tsp. vanilla 4-5 cups icing sugar 1 cup chunky peanut butter Blend potatoes, butter and vanilla until smooth. Add icing sugar, 1 cup at a time, until dough is stiff enough to shape.

Roll candy out between 2 sheets of waxed paper into a rectangle, about 18x10 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.

Remove top piece of waxed paper and spread with peanut butter. Roll up from long side, jelly roll fashion. Cut roll in half across and wrap each piece in waxed paper. Chill 2 hours.

To serve, cut into 1/4 inch slices. This will keep only a few days in refrigerator. Note: do not attempt to make this candy in rainy or humid weather because candy will not harden properly.

We anxiously sat holding our breath as the bushes parted and out walked a magnificent white rhino and her little two week old baby. That alone made the trip worthwhile.

Freelance writer Brian Jackman once wrote: Africa changes you forever…

Once you have been there you will never be the same. I have been fortunate enough to travel all over the world and like to think that each destination has changed me somewhat, but I will say that some of my most amazing memories are of Africa.

Last September our travel club, Adventures Inc. decided to spend 20 days in

South Africa, Swaziland, and Zimbabwe.

The only negative I can think of is the long plane ride to get there. It is about 20 hours from Regina to Cape Town. I enjoy plane rides so it didn’t really bother me. We had a break in Toronto, then again in Amsterdam before the last leg to Cape Town. We landed at 9:20 pm and were quite ready for a good night sleep.

The next morning we were ready for a tour of Cape Town, Table Mountain, and Robbin Island. Cape Town is a beautiful modern city. They had just suffered a horrible drought, but there was no evidence of the disaster it had been put through.

It was spring in South Africa and everything was lush and green. We took a ferry to Robben Island. This was the site of the prison were Nelson Mandela spent 17 years before apartheid was abolished and he was freed. Our guide was a former prisoner who still felt many of the scars that he had to endure here. Then we took the gondola to the top of Table Island where we were treated to a magnificent view of the city.

We boarded the bus for the Cape of Good Hope. This is the most southerly point on the continent, where the Indian Ocean meets the Pacific. Tom Lukiwski the MP for Moose Jaw had given us several Canadian flags. We all posed behind the sign, waved the flags and sang “Oh Canada”. It

was a terrific moment.

Any time you go to Africa the animals are the major event. We had the opportunity to go on four game drives. The Pumba Private Game Reserve was on the way to Swaziland. We saw Rhinoceros, Elephant, Impala, Zebras, but the best sighting was two male giraffes play fighting. They whipped each other with their long necks and almost ended up in our Jeep. At lunch I had my first (not my last) taste of halva pudding.

That evening we stayed in the beautiful Hotel Protea Marine in Port Elizabeth. We toured one of the townships. The shacks were two roomed. One was the Kitchen dining area the other was the bedroom. Interesting enough each shack had a satellite TV system. Everyone seemed very happy.

The children who greeted us loved having their photos taken. We went to a pub in the township where we were entertained with music and dancing by the locals. It was a very nice evening.

The next day we boarded a plane and flew to Durban. We crossed the border into Swaziland, one of the last absolute monarchies in Africa. The Hluhluwe (shushloo-we) Game Reserve was our next game drive. This was my favourite of the game drives. We were up close to many of the animals. Including a great sighting of three rhinoceros. We had yet to see any of the great cats though. No pictures of the rhinos could be posted because of the threat of poachers. Everyday several rhinos and even more elephants are killed only for the tusks and the horn.

Then it was off too the Kruger National Park. This is the largest game preserve in Africa. We saw all the big five. A heard of over twenty 20 elephants marched by our jeep. Several of them babies. A pride of lions was basking on the river bank. A solitary leopard was walking through the bush. Cape Buffalo were enjoying the river.

But the greatest sighting was a 2 week old rhinoceros and his mother slowly meandering through the bush.

We finished off the trip in Zimbabwe. Our hotel was right on the Zambezi River. Wart hogs munched on the lawn right outside

my room. I watched a family of mongoose run across the lawn as I enjoyed my breakfast. Vervet monkeys would lay siege to any unattended dinner plate.

It was truly a magical place. We took a sunset cruise on the river surrounded by hippos and crocodiles. We watched the sun set on the Zambezi. The only thing missing was Tarzan. We toured Victoria Falls. It is no wonder it is considered one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Its grandeur is hard to describe. That afternoon Tammy, Barb, Chris and I boarded a helicopter and got to see this amazing sight from the air.

It was truly breathtaking.

The next day I got a chance to walk with lions. Talk about an adrenaline rush. Walking through the jungle with a male and female year old lion is indescribable. I will always treasure my time with the “King of the Beasts”.

The adventure to Africa is unforgettable.

A combination of the amazing sights, the awesome creatures or the warm greetings of the local people made this truly a memorable experience. As always GoAhead supplied us with unbelievable hotels, luxurious tour buses, an unbelievable bus driver and tour guide. But maybe the best part of the trip is the wonderful people you share it with. Our group had people from all over western Canada. Maybe one day the club will want to return. I certainly hope so.

The Club is currently preparing for a trip to Croatia and Slovenia in September 2020. If you are interested in joining give me a call.

Anholt’s coaching legacy was a natural fit for Moose Jaw’s 2018 Hall of Fame Randy Palmer -Moose Jaw Express

You don’t work with players at the level that Roger Anholt did with the kind of impact he had without people taking notice. So, when it was announced that Anholt was among the six chosen to be enshrined on the Wall of Fame for 2018, it came as little surprise for anyone involved in the local sports scene over the last 40 years.

“It’s kind of humbling when you take a look at the names that are on there, and I’ve already said to other people that the athletes are there because of their ability and I’m there because I surrounded myself with other people,” Anholt said. “I just got on the bus and rode along. We tried to make the best ballplayers and curlers we could out of them and maybe, more importantly, helped them be the best people they could be.”

Anholt started coaching in the Moose Jaw Little League system and first hit the elite level scene in 1990 when he was part of forming the Bantam Cardinals, a team that won the Western Canadian championship in 1991. The team moved up to the Midget AAA division and, working alongside fellow long-time bench boss Charlie Meacher, they built the Cardinals into a perennial provincial contender, winning titles in 1997 and 2000.

Anholt’s scope of baseball success extended beyond Moose Jaw in the early 90s. He joined the Team Saskatchewan coaching staff for the Baseball Canada Cup in 1993, winning silver in the under-18 boys’ baseball tournament that year before claiming gold in 1994. He’s worked with the team on a regular basis since, playing a part in Saskatchewan’s Canada Cup win in 2016 and Canada Games gold medal in 2017.

Through it all, Anholt pointed to the quality of players as individuals, as opposed to athletes as a key to his teams’ success.

“We had a lot of good kids with us and sometimes you pick your player based on the kind of qualities they have,” he explained. “Most of our teams, I’d like to think, were all quality players and for the most part were really good human beings.”

What’s the benefit of changing your cars power steering fluid?

Roger Anholt was inducted into the Moose Jaw and District Sports Hall of Fame in October.

Anholt’s ability to create winning teams didn’t end at the baseball diamond – as skip of the 1972 Tankard men’s curling champions and a long-time mathematics teacher at Peacock Collegiate, he started coaching the sport in the early 1990s, kicking off a run of provincial boys high school championships that won’t soon be matched.

In total, his Toilers teams won eight SHSAA titles, a level of success that continued into the junior ranks where Joel Jordison (1996), Steven Scott (1999) and Brock Montgomery (2000) all won provincial titles out of the Hillcrest Sports Centre. Montgomery went on to win bronze at nationals that year, with Anholt winning the 3M coaching award.

Even with his winning pedigree, Anholt hasn’t taken his coaching success for granted. A major key has been evolving with the game, with today’s athletes bringing a whole new level of skill and ability.

“You learn as you go and as time went on with some of the players who had more training in other areas, I learned from them as well,” Anholt said. “Now that I’m doing a little work with some Team Saskatchewan (baseball) guys and they’re getting some quality academy time, I

can throw out some ideas.

“But there’s no doubt, there’s a learning curve whether you’re a coach or a player. Certainly, I was a better coach at the end than I was at the start.”

An interesting aspect of his time on the diamond and at the rink is many of his former players have started giving back to the sport the same way he did, putting what they learned from Anholt to use on a new generation.

“It’s so good to see some of these guys give back, as good of players as some of them were,” he said. “Especially the curlers these days, I don’t think there’s been a provincial champion for men’s curling that I haven’t known someone or spent time with them. Not only are they known at the provincial level, they’re known at the national level, so it’s good to see them working with the kids and having fun, that’s what it’s all about.” **** With the induction of Roger Anholt, the Moose Jaw and District Sports Hall of Fame has their first multi-generational inductees from the same family.

Roger’s son Ryan Anholt was inducted into the Hall in 2017 after a stellar baseball career that saw him suit up for Team Canada.

“He’s there not because of me but because of his ability,” Anholt said. “You realized when he was three or four years old that he was a student of the game and he had a passion for the game he wanted to play. He was a ballplayer, not a kid who liked to play ball, and as a math teacher, I like to teach the math student instead of the ones who just liked to take math.

“It’s a great honour for both of us and it shows just how hard Ryan worked as a player to reach the level he did.”

Roger Anholt was inducted into the Hall of Fame on Oct. 2th, alongside former NHL standout Doug Smail, former national champion figure skater Susan Humphreys, baseball coach and builder Jim Baba, athletics builder Stanley ‘Hub’ Gutheridge and baseball and hockey standout George Hunchuk.

Local speed skater earns World Cup berths Matthew Gourlie

Moose Jaw’s Graeme Fish is ready to compete against the best speed skaters in the world in December.

The 21-year-old member of the Moose Jaw Kinsmen Speed Skating Club won’t be overawed. After all, he skates next to the best distance skater in the world every day.

In October, Fish finished second in the 10,000-metres at the Canadian Championships and was third in the 5,000m at the event which was held at the Olympic Oval in Calgary. This qualified him to skate at World Cup 3 in Tomaszow Mazowiecki, Poland on Dec. 9 and World Cup 4 in Heerenveen, Netherlands on Dec. 16.

“It’s going well this year, for sure,” said Fish.

In Calgary, Fish trains with Ted-Jan Bloemen, the Moose Jaw’s Graeme Fish competes at the 2017 Ca10,000m Olympic gold medalist and 5,000m silver med- nadian Championships. photo courtesy Dave Holalist from the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and land/Speed Skating Canada Jordan Belchos, who was fifth in the 10,000m in Pyeosetting an Olympic record, and beat Dutch legend Sven ngchang.

Fish set two new personal bests early in the season. His time of six minutes, 23.71 seconds in the 5,000m was three seconds faster than his previous personal best in what he described as technically the best race he has ever skated. He also shaved six seconds off his personal best in the 10,000m with a time of 13:16. That time is the fourthbest personal best in Canadian history.

“My technique this year is the best it’s ever been,” Fish said. “It’s leading into some good directions in the sport.

“I used to skate just kind of awkwardly as I got more tired. It’s really important in the longer distances to stay with the technique and it’s really helped me. As I get older, technique is more important than overall fitness.”

Fish said that he has learned a lot working with Schouten this season and is excited to see how much he can improve as he continues to train under the national team coach.

At the World Cup stops, Fish will begin in Group B. He would love to be one of the top three or four finishers and move up to Group A for his next World Cup trip, but otherwise he’s focused on putting together two strong skates to build on the positive momentum of the season so far.

“I would like to finish in the A group, but we’ll see,” Fish said. “I would just like to skate good times, skate technically well and keep on improving.”

Later this season, Fish will compete in Canada Cup 2 in Calgary from Jan. 3-6 to try to qualify for World Cups 5 & 6 in February and possibly earn a spot at the ISU World All-round Speed Skating Championships which are in Calgary to conclude the season.

Fish’s races on Dec. 6 and 13 will be webcast live on cbc. ca or at ISU.org/speedskating.

Moose Jaw rink wins tiebreaker before falling short at national tournament Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw’s Elaine Osmachenko was consistent when it came to results at the Traveler’s Club Championship in Miramichi, N.B. this past week.

Osmachenko and her Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre rink of third Candace Newkirk, second Malysha Johnstone and lead Sheri Logan posted a win and a loss through each day of competition at the national tournament, finishing the round robin with a 3-3 record and winning a tiebreaker before falling in the championship round quarter-final.

The Traveler’s Club format is designed as a national tournament for players who focus more on club play than chasing major championships -- each team is allowed only one player who has played in a provincial men’s, women’s or senior championship in the current or previous four curling seasons, or participated in a Grand Slam event in same span of time. As well, no player on the teams can have played in one of the four national championships in the previous four years.

Osmachenko opened the event with a 5-2 loss to Alberta’s Morgan Muise before stealing points in the final two ends to defeat B.C.’s Lori Olsen 7-4 for her first win. The local foursome got off to a positive start on day two, scoring six in the third end on their way to a 12-5 win over Nunavet’s Chantelle Masson, only to lose 7-4 to Northwest Territories’ Sarah Stroeder and sit at 2-2 after action on Nov. 21.

That set up a crucial pair of games on Nov. 22, and it couldn’t have gone better for Osmachenko in the morning draw with a 4-3 win over Northern Ontario’s Kathie Jackson. Another win would have avoided the tiebreaker altogether, but a steal of one in the eighth gave Quebec’s Laura Thomas a 5-4 victory and left Osmachenko with her 3-3 mark after the round robin.

That sent Saskatchewan into the tiebreaker against B.C. on Friday morning, with Osmachenko able to make a 5-1 lead at the break stick on her way to a 5-3 win.

Things didn’t go as well in Osmachenko’s playoff opener against Ontario’s Stacey Hogan; the back-and-forth con-

Warriors show grit with weekend wins Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Warriors have quickly evolved into the kind of team you want to root for; they are pulling out all the stops as they work hard to win games.

This past weekend, Friday, the Tribe scored with 4:05 remaining in the third before Tristan Langan picked-up the game winner in overtime to down the Edmonton Oil Kings 3-2; Saturday afternoon against Lethbridge, the Warriors scored two goals with the goaltender pulled in the final four minutes, to set the stage for Brayden Tracey to score the OT winner in a 3-2 victory over the Hurricanes.

Not your typical home-ice wins, but the Warriors have shown through the first half of the season, they aren’t your typical Western Hockey League team, either.

“It just goes to the leadership of the team,” Warriors head coach Tim Hunter said after Saturday’s contest, which was broadcast nationwide on Sportsnet. “(Dalton) Hamaliuk, (Jett) Woo, (Josh) Brook, (Justin) Almeida, Tristan Langan for sure, (Ryan) Peckford, as well. Those guys all drive the engine here and you sprinkle in some good hockey from Brayden Tracey and Dan Stepanov and (Tate) Popple, those guys all stepped up and played hard tonight. So, it was a team effort and showed the kind of character those players have.”

The Warriors improved to 12-5-3-1 on the season with their fifth-straight win and seventh-straight game with at least a point. They now sit third in the East Division, four points back of Saskatoon with four games in hand The win over Lethbridge saw the two teams scoreless

That all changed in the final frame, though, when the Hurricanes’ Taylor Ross opened scoring five minutes in and Keltie Jeri-Leon added a then-insurance marker midway through the frame.

That set the stage for the second comeback of the weekend.

Brook got the Warriors back to within one when his point shot beat goaltender Reece Klassen with 3:26 remaining – a goal that came with Tribe netminder Adam Evanoff pulled for the extra attacker and the Warriors on

the power play.

Langan – the reigning WHL player of the week – then tied the game with 1:25 left in the game and Evanoff again on the bench for the extra attacker. Tracey finished things off 3:40 into overtime.

“Lethbridge didnt’ show a lot of wear from playing last night and getting in late, so it was just moments where we had command of the game and then we didn’t compete as hard as we could,” Hunter said. “But that’s junior hockey; that’s the second time we’ve scored two goals with the goalie out and that shows they’ll compete when the chips are on the line and that’s a good sign.”

Evanoff turned in a solid performance, making 25 saves, while the Warriors fired 33 at Reece Klassen.

The previous night, Vince Loschiavo’s power play goal 4:08 into the third put Edmonton ahead late. Kaeden Taphorn then scored the tying goal with 4:05 remaining and put things in motion for Langan’s overtime heroics.

“I think we’re a real good team in overtime, I think we understand how to play in overtime, how to check,” Hunter said. “They’re all confidence builders, it allows us to get guys into the game and play in these environments and this will bode-well for their development down the stretch when we try to get into a playoff spot.”

The Warriors are back in action with a four-game-infive-night road trip through the B.C. and Central Divisions, beginning Wednesday when they travel to Cranbrook to face the Kootenay Ice.

Generals losing-skid hits 12 games Randy Palmer- Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Generals run of bad luck has taken a life of its own.

Despite carrying the play for solid stretches of time and generating plenty of scoring opportunities, the Generals dropped a 7-2 decision to the Battlefords Stars at Mosaic Place on Sunday afternoon.

The loss was the Generals’ 12th in a row and saw them fall to 6-13-1-1 on the season, good enough for a tie for ninth place, seven points back of the Notre Dame Hounds for the final playoff spot.

“It’s been a tough go. They’ve been pretty good about being upbeat and we’ve tried all kinds of things to get them going,” said Generals coach Ray Wareham.

“It’s on them, too; they have to be prepared to play; a couple of guys had a really rough night on the back-end tonight.

It’s a challenge; you have to be ready and, unfortunately for us, we weren’t ready to go.”

Things started out interestingly enough, with the Generals only trailing 3-2 after the first period on goals from Cody Davis and Steven Kesslering.

But while the Battlefords kept their offense going – scoring twice in the second and once more in the third – the Generals went ice cold.

“Three on one, two on ones and we don’t even get a shot on net,” Wareham said.

“It’s not going our way and then they get a bounce or break and it’s in the net. It’s a tough struggle... Then they start losing confidence; we had a wide-open net and the guy shot over the puck, didn’t even touch the puck. That’s how it’s going for us. Even in odd-man situations, we had a few and I don’t know if we even registered a shot. Then you have some breakdowns and get chasing and it snowballs on you.”

Reece Hodson got the start and made

PHA Elite 15s split weekend games Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

In the Prairie Hockey Academy Elite 15 Cougars game this past weekend, the Cougars picked up a 4-3 shootout win over the Nationals on Saturday before dropping a 7-4 decision in the rematch Sunday afternoon.

The split saw Prairie Hockey sitting with a 12-7-0 record, good enough for fifth in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League standings, two points back of Rink Academy.

The opening contest on the weekend saw PHA trailing 2-0 after the first period, before a second-period rally saw the Cougars battle back and take the lead.

Connor McGrath, Austin Reschney and Kirkland Mullen all scored in the span of 3:28 to put the Cougars ahead 3-2 before Rink tied the game with 1:57 left in the period.

After a scoreless third and overtime, Ethan Peters scored the lone goal of the shootout.

Chase Coward made 46 saves to earn the win.

The rematch the next day didn’t go as well for the Cougars as they scored six goals in the first period, outshooting PHA 17-4 in the process. The Cougars battled back to get as close as 6-4 after the second, but that’d be as close as they’d get as Rink added an empty-netter late in the third.

Reschny, Atley Calvery, Max Wanner and Chris Otterson had the goals for PHA. Nathan Airey stopped 27 shots in the loss.

The Elite 15 Cougars are back in action during the Dec. 14 weekend when they travel to Edmonton for a four-game set.

Generals captain Brendan Kemp attempts to come away with the puck against a pair of Battlefords defenders.

21 saves through a period and a half before giving way to Jaxson Taupert, who stopped 16 shots the rest of the way.

The loss came on the heels of a visit to the University of North Dakota in Grand

Forks last week, with the team hoping the fun trip would make a difference motivation-wise.

“We got away, the kids enjoyed themselves, and then things didn’t go our way,” Wareham said. “This wasn’t what I was expecting but we’re going to keep plugging away and keep going and do what we can to turn things around.”

The Generals even had received some advice from a coach well-versed in the winning ways of hockey. “(University of North Dakota coach) Brad Berry came out and talked to the guys, too; they’re going through a bit of a funk themselves,” Wareham said. “He just encouraged them to stay on track and keep focused and don’t stray away from the plan because that’s when you get in trouble. It didn’t really work for us today.”

Spirits win girls volleyball championship Straight-sets win first for Vanier since 1993

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express Ending a 25-year championship drought, the Vanier Spirits in the Moose Jaw high school girls city volleyball championship held on Tuesday, Nov. 20 at Peacock, overcame a 10-2 deficit in the second set on their way to a 3-0 (25-23, 25-18, 2512) victory over the Toilers and claimed their first title since 1993.

“It feels so amazing! We’ve been working hard the last couple of years and it feels really good to win,” said Vanier captain and Grade 12 student Jenna Meili. “Playing four years of volleyball here and winning is the cherry on the top; it’s awesome. Some of us have been playing together since elementary school... it’s great to be able to come through and leave a legacy like this.”

Given the scope of the game and what was on the line, the Spirits coaching staff knew it was going to take a superlative effort to pull off a win. Thing is, their charges had shown signs all season of being capable of more than their record would indicate, and lo and behold...

“We talked a lot about how hard they’d worked all season and coach Brad (Hennenfent) and myself knew that they had it

momentum. “We just had to get back into it; it was point-by-point and doing what we could to get back into it and we did. It was awesome.”

The victory took on added significance a couple hours later when the Vikings boys volleyball team capped off their perfect season with a city championship of their own. It was the first time in Moose Jaw high school sports history that both Vanier teams won the city volleyball titles in the same year.

The Vanier Spirits gather with the city championship trophy, their first win since 1993. in them if they did the job,” said Spirits coach Leanne Meili. “They didn’t take their foot off the peda; they passed well and served well and just took it too them.

The girls just executed beautifully.”

While the result was technically an upset – Peacock had finished in first place in the regular season and had taken three wins over Vanier in the regular season

and regionals – the results had often been close between the two teams. That gave the Spirits hope and an added level of resiliency when the going got tough.

Case in point: the second half deficit and massive rally that turned the match on its heels.

The Vanier Spirits celebrate after win“It was a good ole time-out and ‘let’s ning the Moose Jaw high school girls go’,” coach Meili said of the change in volleyball title.

Vanier win high school boys volleyball championship Vikings complete perfect season in Moose Jaw league Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Vanier Vikings didn’t need a lot of extra motivation heading into their Moose Jaw high school boys volleyball league championship final, but an hour before the title game was set to start, they got it.

A few blocks away, the Vanier Spirits girls team had just won their first city title since 1993, in an upset win over the Peacock Toilers. That meant the undefeated Vikings had a chance to cap-off something that had never happened in Moose Jaw league history – a Vanier sweep of both high school volleyball championships.

They weren’t about to let the opportunity go to waste.

The Vikings put together one of their most commanding performances of the season, rolling to a 3-0 (25-11, 2514, 25-17) win over the Central Cyclones in front of a raucous crowd of supporters packing the Ned Andreoni gymnasium.

“We were on a mission,” said Vikings Grade 12 middle Riley Follensbee. “It feels really good, especially on a 12-0 season, I think we proved our point that we were hungry for a championship... we dominated all season and we wanted to just put an exclamation point on it all.”

Cooper Cole and the Vanier Vikings celebrate their city volleyball championship.

The Vanier supporters were out in force for the high school boys title game.

The Vanier Vikings won their first city championship since 2009.

While Follensbee admitted to feeling a bit nervous heading into the contest, Vikings coach Levi Broda said one would never know based on what he’d seen from his team leading up to the first serve.

“It’s amazing what a year can do,” Broda said. “A lot of these guys came out on the short-end last year, but they just seemed to have this calmness about them this year. I was going crazy in the school, just running around, and every time I’d see one of the boys, they were like ‘been there, done that’ and it increased my confidence that we were going to come out and perform and execute the way we needed to.”

Not that there was concern of their capabilities – the Vikings had show all through their 10-0 regular season that they were capable of picking their game up a notch or two when necessary.

“The kids worked so hard all year and showed that

they’re a really consistent squad,” Broda lauded. “We were 11 deep and you could pop anyone in anywhere, anytime, and we could put people in a lot of different places... Central came out hard and made us earn every point, but we were able to serve tough and keep down the errors; their athleticism really took over.”

And when the final point fell, history was made.

“It was a really special night for our school,” Broda said.

“I think it really had an impact when we saw what the girls had done earlier and then coming in and taking care of business in our own gym.”

Follensbee had an additional take on the impressive sweep – their junior boys also won their city title and junior girls reached the final.

“Just imagine if the junior girls had won, too, it would have been crazy,” he said. “But Vanier in the final, four out of four? I’ll take that.”

The Vikings were back in action this past weekend at the provincial 4A boys championship, with results unavailable as of press time.

Bombardier has runway to recover from share price collapse, say analysts

By Ross Marowits - THE CANADIAN PRESS

Bombardier Inc. still has runway to recover from its share price collapse despite investor concerns about the transportation giant’s financial challenges, industry analysts say.

Bombardier shares have fallen more than 60 per cent since July on unease about its hefty debt and ability to generate promised free cash flow.

The Montreal-based company’s shares gained 3.1 per cent on the day to $2.14 to trade below where they were in early 2015 even though its profitability has nearly doubled.

Even with Monday’s 24 per cent rebound, the selloff is unjustified and absurd, Cameron Doerksen of National Bank Financial wrote in a report, maintaining his target price at $5.50.

The company is maintaining its target to generate US$750 million to US$1 billion in free cash flow in 2020.

Benoit Poirier of Desjardins Capital Markets said he remains bullish about Bombardier’s long-term value but expects its shares to remain volatile under investors regain confidence in its ability to generate free

cash flows.

Given market conditions, analysts expect Bombardier will delay the repurchase of the Caisse de depot’s 27.5 per cent stake in its railway division valued at more than US$2 billion, beyond the February date when it can act.

The company won’t make any moves that would worsen its liquidity position, said Kevin Chiang of © 2018 The Canadian Press

Trump grants poultry pardons to turkeys Peas and Carrots

By Darlene Superville THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON _ President Donald Trump prepared to use the power of his office to keep a pair of turkeys off the Thanksgiving table.

Trump’s poultry pardon last Tuesday meant that the two turkeys _ a 39-pound bird named Peas and a 41-pounder named Carrots _ get to live the rest of their lives at a Virginia farm.

First lady Melania Trump joined her husband for the ceremony in the White

House Rose Garden.

The 250,000-litre spill happened while Husky Energy’s SeaRose platform was preparing to restart production during a fierce storm that was, at the time, the most intense in the world.

Scott Tessier, chief executive of the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board, said no oil sheens were spotted on the water last NOTICE OF INTENTION TO AMEND ZONING BYLAW NO. 5346 The Council of the City of Moose Jaw intends to consider a bylaw pursuant to The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend the City of Moose Jaw’s Zoning Bylaw No. 5346.

The purpose of this amendment is to change the zoning of Parcel G, Plan No. 76MJ11446, civic address 1150 O’Byrne Street from R3 – High Density Residential District to C1B – Mixed Use Neighbourhood Commercial District. A retail / convenience store has operated at this location in the past. This amendment will allow a new retail store to operate in conformity with the Zoning Bylaw.

Written submissions must be received by Planning and Development Services, 228 Main Street North, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 3J8, by 10:00 AM on Monday, December 17th, 2018 in person or by email at planning@moosejaw.ca The proposed Bylaw and any submissions regarding the proposed Bylaw will be considered at the regular meeting of City Council to be held in Council Chambers, City Hall, at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, December 17th, 2018.

DATED at Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan this 22nd day of November, 2018.

Monday or Tuesday, meaning the oil has likely broken down to the point that it cannot be cleaned up.

The board is now focused on wildlife monitoring and its investigation into the incident.

Husky said Tuesday 14 oiled seabirds have been confirmed.

Operators are responsible for following their own safety and environmental plans, said Tessier, and while all operators shut down in light of the storm, only Husky Energy attempted to restart production.

The board recently found Husky Energy failed to follow its ice management plan during a 2017 nearmiss between the SeaRose and a large iceberg, an event Tessier said will be considered in the current investigation. © 2018 The Canadian Press

Local gallery to host art raffle fundraiser Matthew Gourlie

The Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery have been serving the city’s art lovers and artists for 50 years.

Now the gallery wants to let its patrons take some of the gallery home with them.

The MJM&AG will be holding its first art raffle on Friday, Nov. 30 starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $50 each and will be limited to 100 tickets.

“We wanted to try something new and it’s an interesting way to get art out into the community and for people to be able to interface with the gallery,” said Ross Melanson from the MJM&AG. “It’s a great fundraiser, of course and it’s a great way to engage people.”

The MJM&AG sent out the call for submissions two months before the fundraiser and 19 pieces from local and Saskatchewan artists were offered to be part of the raffle.

“All of the artists that were involved were donating their work for this purpose,” Melanson said. “Some of the pieces were original works that were made for this. Others were original works that they made and donated.

“The support from the artists was very strong. If there’s a way for them to support the gallery and a way for them

The 19 pieces that are part of the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery’s art raffle are currently on display at the museum.

to contribute, they do so.”

The artists who contributed work to the raffle were: Rob Froese, Belinda Harrow, Diane Lara, Suzanne Dansereau, Holly Fay, Victor Cicansky, Russell Mang, Gerri Ann Siwek, Anne Meggitt, Ward Schell, Laura Hamilton, Heather Cline, Chris Wikman, Monica DeCampo, Sue Hunchuk, Zach Dietrich, Wendy Parsons and Devon Dietrich and Jody Greenman.

The works vary from graphite and etchings to oil, acrylic and watercolour paintings. There are also ceramic bowls and a vase, amongst the offerings.

The raffle will begin with a name

Policing initiatives in Moose Jaw get a boost The Ministry of Corrections and Policing’s will be contributing $330,000 to Moose Jaw to fund three existing Moose Jaw Police Service positions in 201819.

“Community safety is a priority for the Government of Saskatchewan,” Moose Jaw North MLA Warren Michelson said on behalf of Corrections and Policing Minister Christine Tell. “This funding helps with police initiatives that ensure the safety of Moose Jaw families and our community overall.”

The funding for Moose Jaw includes positions in the Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan division, which works to improve safety on the highways through increased awareness and enforcement of traffic regulations.

“The City of Moose Jaw and the Moose Jaw Board of Police Commissioners look forward to continuing and enhancing our partnership with the province to address our shared public safety priorities through the Municipal Police Grants program,” Moose Jaw Mayor Fraser Tolmie said. “This is an important program. Its benefits are felt not only in our community, but also across our region as our police service works to keep our community safe, harmonious and inclusive.”

“The Moose Jaw Police Service welcomes the renewal of its partnership with the Ministry of Corrections and Policing to provide effective and efficient policing services in our community and region,” Moose Jaw Police Service Chief Rick Bourassa said. “The positions created through this partnership focus on the key priorities of traffic and public safety throughout the region, and support the Police and Crisis Team’s collaborative efforts to provide community mental health supports. These initiatives are instrumental in enhancing safety and well-being in our communities.”

Saskatchewan Government Insurance has also provided $360,000 for two police officers as part of the Combined Traffic Services Saskatchewan initiative. This brings the total of the Moose Jaw Service Funding Agreement to $690,000 for 2018-19.

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.

Seasonal Affective Disorder

FREE PALLETS

by Wanda Smith

Coffee to Go “As coffee is for g-o-i-n-g, tea is for s-t-o-p-p-i-n-g.” I read that on a tea drinker’s blog once. Lady Baker’s Tea Trolley, an online tea shoppe, offers mail order for their fine tea business based out of Prince Edward Island. My favorite flavor is London Fog; unfortunately, my stash is getting low. It may be time to get another order in shortly.

As I shared last week, each of us has a purpose. Just as coffee and tea have a purpose... one for getting one “going;” the other to help one to stop to breathe, we all have been created with an assignment to be carried out on this earth. Regardless of your parents, your background or your makeup, you were born with and for a purpose.

“Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you.

Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you.” (Jeremiah 1:5) Don’t ever let the circumstances of your birth determine the trajectory of your life! No matter how you got here, God has a plan for your life... a future and a hope.”

No matter how many mistakes or detours you’ve taken, God has a redemption plan for your life. He has a way of making the wrongs right. The world is awaiting you to fulfill your purpose. No matter your age or your past, God will mold you into what is needed to fulfill your destiny. Just think of Gideon who became a mighty leader even though he started out as a coward. What about the prostitute at the well of Jacob who became a preacher? Or what about you... maybe you were the one who was labelled “never meant to succeed?” I’ve got great news for you! When you discover why you were created and what assignment you are meant to fulfill, you will flourish and become your true self.

Dr. Myles Munroe teaches that “everything, no matter how insignificant it may seem, exists for a distinct purpose in the mind of God to serve a greater purpose.

The hairs in your nostrils were carefully designed by God and intentionally placed there for the purpose of trapping bacteria, germs and dust particles, preventing them from contaminating the lungs during inspiration.”

It is interesting how the smallest of details on our body are created to serve a vital purpose. I would interject here, and take opportunity to mention that as we age, some hairs are not as welcome as they once were. There seems to be an increase of nose and ear hair on males as they age that I may gently suggest could be trimmed once in a while?

Another principle of purpose is: “Wherever purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable.” (Myles Munroe) I am reminded of the time when Hubby was putting in the plumbing for the new bathroom downstairs and he used a dirty tea towel to wipe some plumbing glue on. Little did he realize that tea towel was nearly brand new... and little did he realize that I have an aspiration to nice tea towels... but you see, Hubby didn’t realize the purpose of that towel. It was not to wipe glue on. It was to dry dishes with. (That glue never did come out.) I realize this is just a minor explanation of the importance of knowing the purpose of something but it drives the point home.

My prayer is that each of us will begin to see we are created with a purpose and for a purpose. Stay tuned for more next week...

Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, is a kind of depression that appears at certain times of the year.

It usually begins in the fall when the days get shorter and lasts through the winter. SAD doesn’t only happen in the colder months though. A less common form of Seasonal Affective Disorder affects people in the summer months and usually starts in the spring.

It isn’t really clear what causes SAD, but it’s thought that winter SAD may be caused by lack of sunlight.

But this may not be the whole answer, as it’s also thought to run in families: 13–17% of people who develop SAD have an immediate family member with the disorder.

As we head into the holiday season, it’s even more important to understand the signs and symptoms, which can include: Feeling depressed most of the day, losing interest in activities you once enjoyed, low energy, problems with sleeping, changes in your appetite or weight, feeling sluggish or agitated, lost interest in sex and other physical contact, difficulty concentrating, feeling hopeless, worthless or guilty, frequent thoughts of death or suicide.

Light therapy, medication, counselling or self-help such as good sleep habits, daily exercise and a healthy diet are all known to help treat symptoms.

We ask that you turn up your mental health radar when you are engaging with family, friends and coworkers, as it is often difficult for people to see through the fog of their illness to ask for help in a timely manner. If you do sense some of the above symptoms in a family member or friend, understand that: * Depression is a serious condition * The symptoms of depression aren’t personal * Hiding the problem won’t make it go away * You can’t ‘fix’ someone else’s depression Don’t expect a single conversation to be the end of it.

Depressed people tend to withdraw from others and isolate themselves. You may need to express your concern and willingness to listen over and over again.

Be gentle, yet persistent.

Rural crime issues remain concern for residents

By Ron Walter - For Agri-Mart Express

Rural crime remains an issue two years after the provincial government took action to beef up presence of rural police.

Crime was a focus of the recent Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM) midterm convention.

RCMP say rural crime has decreased by three per cent.

While the RCMP want more police officers in the field, spokesmen admitted problems in recruiting for RCMP. Rural policing faces a challenge due to staffing. The RCMP is no longer “the police agency of choice (for potential recruits) anymore,” Cpl. Mel Zurevinsky told SARM delegates.

“We are finding it harder to recruit people to go to different areas,” said Zurevinsky.

The frequent postings of RCMP officers, often to remote places across Canada, are less desirable than the stability of location offered by municipal police forces.

The province has indicated legislation will be introduced this session allowing groups of RMs, villages and towns to establish regional police services.

Currently RMs pay very little to have RCMP policing services. The province pays the bulk of the bill.

Provincial action on rural crime involved development of a protection and response team with 258 members, including arming the Saskatchewan Highway Patrol and conservation officers.

Rural crime in Alberta and Saskatchewan grew after the 2014 oil price and oil patch collapse.

The matter came to a head two years ago after a young indigenous man was killed by a Rosetown area farmer, defending his family from a carload of people driving onto the farm yard. A jury acquitted the farmer.

Since then, RCMP have conducted dozens of rural town hall meetings to encourage reporting of crime, crime watch organizations and to explain the potential consequences of using guns to ward off intruders.

Crime watch groups have grown to 120 from a handful.

Last year, 93 per cent of SARM municipalities voted to have expanded self-defence rights. Senior government dismissed the idea.

National / International News With no labour deal in sight, Canada Post warns of delivery delays into January OTTAWA _ Canada Post says Canadians can expect delays of parcel and mail delivery into 2019 as a result of rotating strikes by its employees.

And it says the worst delays will likely be in southern and southwestern Ontario because of a backlog of hundreds of transport trailers sitting idle at its main Toronto sorting facility.

The Crown corporation has told its commercial customers that it cannot honour its delivery standards for any product because of the prolonged strikes.

The walkouts have created massive backlogs of mail and parcels just days before an expected rush of millions more parcels from Black Friday and Cyber Monday online sales.

Canada Post is dealing with a fifth week of rotating strikes by its unionized workers as both sides remain apart on contract negotiations.

Vigilance the watchword for pot users, investors, executives at Canada US border

By James McCarten - THE CANADIAN PRESS

WASHINGTON _ Marijuana has been legal in Canada for a month already but immigration lawyers and cannabis executives say when it comes to getting into the United States, the worst may be yet to come.

As Canadians get used to the fact that cannabis is no longer against the law in their country, some experts fear they will forget the perils that past and present marijuana use still poses for those seeking to cross the Canada-U.S. border.

Customs and Border Protection officials have made it clear that anyone who admits to using marijuana prior to Oct. 17, the day it became legal in Canada, could be banned from entering the country.

U.S. law can still keep out anyone deemed to be a drug abuser or addict, or who is diagnosed with a mental disorder with a history of related harmful behaviour _ including alcoholism or marijuana use.

Investors and employees in the cannabis industry, too, are on shaky ground _ one U.S. executive says the risk of being banned for life from crossing the border has become a major preoccupation for his Canadian colleagues.

U.S. border authorities initially warned that any Canadian who gave off a whiff of pot involvement _ from using the drug to working or investing in the indus-

try _risked being banned or denied entry. They later softened that stance, saying industry workers would generally be deemed admissible so long as they were travelling for reasons unrelated to their work.

Some Canadians travelling to MJBizCon, a major cannabis industry conference last week in Las Vegas, faced additional scrutiny at various border screening points.

In the meantime, Henry Chang, a Toronto-based immigration lawyer, has some common-sense advice for anyone who might have reason to be anxious entering the U.S. ``Don’t dress like a hippie, don’t smell like marijuana, because then the questions get asked,’’ he said. ``If you are asked the question, your only option is to refuse to answer, say it’s irrelevant, you refuse to answer _ you’ll get into trouble, they’ll detain you, you’ll get sent back to Canada, but at least you don’t have anything on the record saying you engaged in controlled-substance use.’’ © 2018 The Canadian Press
