Local food agencies work hard to make sure local at-risk people know where their next meal is coming from.

Four local agencies can also enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that they will receive significant funding for the next three years. Wednesday, the Mosaic Company pledged $2.5 million to 12 Saskatchewan non-profit organizations over the next three years as part of their commitment to food security and food education in Saskatchewan.

The four local agencies are: Hunger in Moose Jaw, Riverside Mission, Moose Jaw & District Food Bank, and the Wakamow Valley Authority.

“Without donors like Mosaic giving to non-profits in our community we wouldn’t be able to do the jobs that we do. They give us a significant portion of funds to do the things that we need to do. Getting $2.5 million over three years is a really good

Matthew Gourlie deal for us here in Saskatchewan,” said Rachel Mullens, interim manager of Riverside Mission.

commitment is a testament to the hard work of food agencies to provide hunger relief to vulnerable families and children.

“From providing access to healthy meals each day, to teaching about how food is grown, to providing cooking lessons, to bringing nutrition to the forefront in school and classrooms, these organizations are supporting Saskatchewan families and helping them thrive,” said Swager.

The eight other groups that are part of Mosaic’s finding initiatives are The Salvation Army, REACH, Regina & District Food Bank, Souls Harbour Rescue Mission, Carmichael Outreach, CHEP Good Food Inc., Saskatoon Food Bank & Learning Centre, and the Saskatchewan School Boards Association (Mosaic Extreme School Makeover Challenge).

Co-op launches new farm stewardship program AGRIMART

EXPRESS Co-op is launching a new farm stewardship program for agricultural producers, designed to improve yields and efficiency with on-farm practices that are mindful of air, soil and water quality.

GROWN WITH PURPOSE™ is delivered by the Coop Grow Team, the network of agronomists that advises farm customers at Co-op Agro Centres across Western Canada.

The program is built for current and future practises to provide growers with meaningful strategies to drive yields, enhance soil quality and build a legacy for the next generation,” said Trish Meyers, PAg, Director of Crop Supplies with Federated Co-operatives Limited, which helped develop the program for the Co-op Grow Team.

“Through Grown with Purpose, Co-op Grow Team members will build custom strategies for growers to improve fertilizer efficiency and other on-farm performance metrics. We will also help producers capture and verify that data so they can show their community — and the people buying their grain — exactly how their farm is economically, environmentally and socially sustainable.”

What is Grown with Purpose?

Grown with Purpose describes a comprehensive list of best management practices that assist crop planning

and field operations. As a 4R-designated retailer, Coop has leveraged 4R Nutrient Stewardship as a cornerstone of the program, a set of principles developed by Fertilizer Canada that ensures fertilizer applications are made when and where plants need them the most.

As part of the Grown with Purpose Program, Co-op Grow Team members will work with growers to complete assessments on the right source, rate, timing and placement of fertilizer. Using advanced agronomic tools and strategies, including soil test analysis, variable-rate technology and enhanced-efficiency products, Co-op Grow Team members will help producers get the most from these investments while minimizing nutrient losses to the environment.

“4R Nutrient Stewardship offers growers a solution to nutrient management that is scientifically proven to increase yields and profitability while reducing environmental impacts and greenhouse gas emissions,” said Garth Whyte, President and CEO of Fertilizer Canada. “Agri-retailers are a grower’s trusted source for farm advice, and we’re pleased to see Federated

Co-operatives Limited incorporating the sustainability principles of the 4R framework into their grower services.”

Farm for the future Agricultural producers can begin their Grown with Purpose journey with a comprehensive review of their on-farm activities, providing Co-op Grow Team members with a complete picture of the producer’s farm, crop planning and management history.

That assessment will be used to identify effective strategies that can be employed one field at a time to improve on-farm efficiency, productivity and safety.

That includes, but is not limited to, the following onfarm strategies and activities: • Nutrient management strategies that promote economic, environmental and social sustainability goals • Crop rotations that promote soil health and reduce the spread of disease and insects • Crop protection applications that mitigate herbicide resistance by rotating and layering products with different modes of action • Sprayer tank cleanout practices that reduce the amount of wasted product and prevent unnecessary crop injury Producers can learn more about Grown with Purpose by speaking with a Co-op Grow Team member at their local Co-op Agro Centre or by visiting www.agro.crs.

TRADING THOUGHTS

Why is Saskatchewan Government getting out of Global Transportation Hub industrial park?

When governments or large corporations find an asset has become a liability or embarrassment they dump it.

That’s why the Saskatchewan Government is looking for a private owner to take over the Global Transportation Hub (GTH) just west of Regina.

by Ron Walter While admitting private owners may be difficult to find, government spokesmen told media that other industrial parks across Canada are privately-owned. This isn’t a sudden reversion to Saskatchewan Party free enterprise ideals, as they would have us believe.

The decision to throw out the GTH stems from the need to clean house of any haunting liabilities.

The GTH was conceived by the Saskatchewan Government as a reaction to the development buzzwords of the day — inland ports.

The idea behind inland ports was to relieve crowded seaports of cargo by developing inland ports. Attracting foreign investment and industry to these ports would be easy, given that under NAFTA almost any product assembled in the ports qualified for tariff-free export to the

United States.

Nine years ago, members of the three-country Ports to Plains Alliance were in Moose Jaw promoting the Moose Jaw to Mazatlan, Mexico trade link.

Moose Jaw has already lost ground in the competition for an inland port to Regina. This city didn’t have the support infrastructure needed, or the investment to develop those needs.

Plans for relocation of CP Rail yards were under way and the 1,700-acre GTH site was a natural place to promote an inland port with first class access to railways, highways and labour pools.

Can you imagine Donald Trump or any American president allowing inland ports in Canada to thrive today?

Since 2013, the GTH has attracted $485 million investment creating 860 jobs on site. An average of 4,800 trucks a day come in and out of the GTH, an event that helped justify the $1.2 billion overpasses and ring road around Regina.

The Saskatchewan Government could have easily pointed out the facts and would have been taken off the hook for dumping the GTH. It was a great idea killed by American protectionism.

Besides, experience shows industrial parks rarely sell out land in five years.

Instead, the government chose to try and make voters think free enterprise principles caused the decision.

The GTH has too many other political liabilities attached to it for the Saskatchewan Party.

The scandals where government overpaid for land, where two land buyers with Saskatchewan Party ties, acquired and flipped land for a quick $11 million profit, where a cabinet minister appeared to interfere with the GTH board, all weigh on the government’s record.

The RCMP didn’t find enough evidence to lay charges but the events still look fishy to voters.

And there’s the matter of the $500,000 bus subsidy for Loblaw employee transport, a subsidy that was cancelled when the public found out.

The NDP Opposition discovered that Loblaw, the first major land buyer in the GTH, received a discount on the $256,000 an acre price. The government refused to disclose the price Loblaw paid, saying the disclosure would put Loblaw ($47 billon annual revenue) at a competitive disadvantage.

The truth might be: other land buyers would want the same discount.

And observers ask why government-owned SaskPower became the largest land owning enterprise in the GTH? There are too many ghosts in the GTH that can haunt the Saskatchewan Party Government, so why not dump the park on a private owner?

Local agencies to benefit from Mosaic’s commitment Matthew Gourlie

Mosaic’s $2.5 million funding announcement will have a tremendous impact on four local agencies.

For the Wakamow Valley Authority, the funding represents a continuation of the funding they receive annually as part of their Mosaic Community Food Farm.

This funding will allow them to continue their partnership with the three food security agencies in the city: Hunger in Moose Jaw, the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank and the Riverside Mission.

“It enables us to continue with this program and this partnership,” said Margaret Moran, CEO for Wakamow Valley Authority. “Through the summer we provide fresh produce that they can add either to their meals, lunches or to the hampers that they give out at the Food Bank.

“It’s a really important program. There’s the food aspect as well, but it also provides opportunities for newcomers in Moose Jaw to give back to the community. We work very closely with Moose Jaw Multicultural. They come down once or twice a week and they learn how to garden, how to grow their own produce and they also really enjoy that aspect of giving back to the country that has given back to them.”

The other local non-profits are expecting to meet with representatives from Mosaic to iron out the details of how much funding they will receive, but

they are expecting to see an increase in their funding.

Having some of the pressure to secure funding taken off of their shoulders should only make the community groups stronger.

“There’s programs that we have thought of wanting to do in the past and this could possibly be a way for us to make those viable,” Mullens said. “To know that there will be a steady amount of money that we know Mosaic will donate towards our initiative over the next three years helps us to be able to do more planning and make significant plans towards the future because we know we have this kind of set money coming our way.”

The announcement comes at an important time for the local Food Bank. Deann Little, assistant manager at the Moose Jaw & District Food, said that they have been “a nice number of thousands of dollars” short of meeting their annual budget in recent years.

“It’s absolutely incredible to get news like that,” Little said. “Our monetary funds have been down the last few years.

We haven’t been making our budget, so to be able to get an announcement like that, that they’re coming on to donate is absolutely so exciting for us.”

The Food Bank had a new initiative, a Christmas newsletter that brought in funds, but they are still expecting to be

How’s your flow?

How’s your function?

by Dr. Steven Heidinger, Moose Jaw Chiropractor On a daily basis, I use a few “F-words” when I am at work. No, not the really bad one some of you may be imagining, but the ones that relate to chiropractic practice and its importance to health and wellness.

The two big ones are “flow” and “function.”

This flow-and-function relationship is important for our body to survive. In cardiovascular disease there is often narrowing of arteries, resulting in limited blood flow. When the prostate is enlarged, there is reduced urine flow. For the body to function, it needs flow.

As a chiropractor, I stress the importance of a healthy spine because it houses and protects a large part of the most important part the body, the nervous system.

short on meeting their budget for 2018.

“Food-wise, we’re doing OK right now.

It’s just the monetary aspect is just where we’re needing to increase that a little bit,” Little said.

While people continue to donate food to meet the ever-increasing needs of the Food Bank, they need funding for their two full-time and two part-time staff members, in addition to the purchase of 360-400 dozen eggs a month. The Food Bank also uses the funds to purchase meat and they strive to provide milk to

Every part of the body is controlled by, and has connections to and from, the nervous system. So, here come the F-words…

Without optimal nerve Flow, you cannot have optimal Function. I would challenge anyone to intelligently contradict that statement.

Now, let’s talk about a few “S” words which relate to flow and function. Spinal stenosis is a condition that results from narrowing of the space on the inside of the spinal column. The physical pressure on the spinal cord and nerves can reduce nerve flow, resulting in loss of function of various parts of the body.

The best way to understand spinal stenosis is knowing what the symptoms are. When the narrowing occurs in the lower spine, there is often numbness in the foot and leg, weakness in the lower extremities and even cramping in the muscles of the leg, especially when standing for too long. You can easily identify those with stenosis. They are the ones often seen at the grocery store leaning forward onto their food cart.

Flexing forward or sitting will often relieve the symptoms of spinal stenosis.

While all this may sound a bit boring to most, it

children under 18 in households that are their clients.

The Moose Jaw Food Bank handed out 4,355 food hampers in 2018 and had 390 new sign-ups, which can range from one person to a full household.

“Our numbers were up this last year -- both for pounds for donation coming in and also for clients, as well as new sign-ups. We had record highs all across the board last year,” Little said. “A lot of people are struggling to make ends meet. When they’re able to access our Food Bank here, they can put the money that they do have towards another bill they might have.”

Hunger In Moose Jaw is pleased with their bottom line currently, but are also overjoyed at the funding for the next three years.

“We just came off of our ‘I Bought A Lunch’ campaign and that went beyond our $50,000 goal,so that helps and gives us a little bit of a cushion for the coming year,” said Sharla Sept, executive director of Hunger in Moose Jaw. “It’s always a comfort to have consistent funding so that our programs continue on. We appreciate their continued partnership and it gives us a little peace of mind for the next few years.”

Hunger in Moose Jaw provides approximately 300 lunches per day to 18 different schools through their child nutrition program.

should be stressed that spinal stenosis is one of the leading causes of disability in seniors. Without good nerve flow to the legs, there is risk of falls. Without good nerve flow, seniors can become even more inactive. Without good nerve flow, seniors begin to lose their independence. These are very, very real issues in health care today and I don’t believe they are addressed enough.

So, the big question is, can spinal stenosis be helped?

For many individuals, the answer is yes. Research is telling us that a combination of manual therapy (like chiropractic care), the proper exercise and psychosocial behavioural therapy, the effects of spinal stenosis can be limited. While this condition is not curable, improving daily function is very possible.

A 2016 study published in the journal Chiropractic Manual Therapy showed that with the right intervention and self-management strategies, overall functional abilities and quality of life can improve for those who suffer from spinal stenosis.

Good health needs good flow and function. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

All nominees are deserving

There are exciting times coming for groups, individuals and businesses in the community who work with little fanfare to make Moose Jaw a better place to live and do business.

In the coming weeks/months Joyce Walter the efforts of these peo- For Moose Jaw Express ple will be recognized with nominations for a number of awards, with the best in each category taking home the plaque or certificate that recognizes a certain achievement.

The first of the awards presentations will include the citizen and group of the year, and the best in heritage preservation and education. There are many individuals in Moose Jaw who do amazing amounts of work to help others, with no thought to ever being nominated or wanting to win an award for their efforts. In fact some who are nominated have been known to graciously decline the nomination, suggesting there are others more worthy of attention. Such selflessness is not unusual.

Coming in March is the Business Women of Moose Jaw PRISM Awards highlighting the work of women in the community in the areas of perseverance, role model, influential, successful, mentor, youth achievement and lifetime achievement. In addition to the winners in those categories, the other winner of the awards evening will be the Moose Jaw Transition House, a worthy recipient of funding necessary to keep the doors open to assist women and families in distress.

On the business front, the Moose Jaw Business Excellence Awards are scheduled for April. At this time dozens of local business operations will be showcased, honouring those who are new and those who have an impressive history in Moose Jaw — plus all of the others in between, in a variety of categories. An individual who has shown incredible business leadership is also saluted.

Other awards are given regularly by service clubs and organizations for a number of other achievements, some in humanitarian efforts and others in various community service elements.

Before the winners are known, congratulations are in order to one and all who have been nominated. The majority of these individuals, groups and businesses are engaged for the long-term and no true dollar amount can be attached for what they contribute to the community. Well done!

Chow McLeod’s Lyle Phillips gets Queen’s Counsel Designation Sasha-Gay Lobban

Moose Jaw’s Lyle O. Phillips of Chow McLeod Barristers and Solicitors has been honoured with the 2018 Queen’s Counsel Designation (Q.C.).

Phillips is among 18 Saskatchewan lawyers honoured with the Queen’s Counsel (Q.C.) designation for their contributions to the legal profession and public service.

Phillips, who has been a lawyer for 64 years, says he is pleased to receive such a distinguished award within the province’s law fraternity. He, along with 17 others, were presented with the designation at Government House in Regina on Friday, January 04. “I’m excited to be given the honour of Queen’s Counsel. It’s an honorary appointment made every year and I am honoured to be part of that and to be recognized by the profession.”

Queen’s Counsel appointments are based on recommendations from a selection committee consisting of Saskatchewan’s Minister of Justice and Attorney General, the Chief Justice of the Court of Appeal for Saskatchewan or the Chief Justice of the Court of Queen’s Bench, and the past presidents of the Saskatchewan branch of the Canadian Bar Association and the Law Society of Saskatchewan.

Individuals who are selected each year must live in Saskatchewan and have practiced law for at least 10 years in the superior courts of any province or territory of Canada, the United Kingdom or Ireland.

Phillips has practiced law in Moose Jaw for most of his esteemed career. He graduated from Moose Jaw Central Collegiate in 1946 and subsequently attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan on a Hockey Scholarship and completed one year of Engineering.

He then attended Assumption College in Windsor, Ontario, an affiliate of the University of Western Ontario, and graduated in 1950 with a Bachelor of Arts. His major was in Business Administration.

Phillips then attended the University of Saskatchewan, College of Law and graduated in 1953. After graduation, he articled with his father, John E. Phillips, Q.C., and continued practicing in Moose Jaw with him and various associates. In 1970, the Phillips Law Firm amalgamated with the Dubinsky Law Firm and Dubinsky Phillips Law Firm continued until 1975.

He then became the Corporate Solicitor and Secretary-Treasurer of Fairford Industries Limited, a

Moose Jaw Company that manufactured steel buildings. In 1985, He returned to the practice of law as a sole practitioner. In 2008, Phillips joined the Chow McLeod Firm as Counsel.

Despite his busy schedule and illustrious law career, Phillips finds time to volunteer in the community. He has been a member of the Moose Jaw Lions Club for over fifty years and is the past President.

He is also a senior life member of the Law Society of Saskatchewan and a former Bencher. Phillips has served as Chairman of the Church Counsel of Zion United Church and is presently Chairman of the Board of Trustees. He is also a past president of the YMCA and was the Co-Chairman of the building committee when the new YMCA was built in Crescent Park.

Science Careers and the Discovery of Sin Nombre Virus

By Richard Dowson, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

Seventy per cent of High School students can’t decide on a career, so look around. Don’t overlook a career in medical science research. Imagine identifying a new disease; the cause of a disease; the cure for a disease; or how a disease is spread in a population. Nothing could be more rewarding for the researcher and mankind.

Within this cluster of medical science research is Epidemiology and Virology. These are the study of, and the analysis of, and distribution of diseases.

Kind of a, “What is it? Who has it? When did they catch it? Where’d it come from? What can we do?

What are its characteristics?”

Here is a true story about Epidemiology and Virology solving a medical mystery.

In May 199, some residents of the Navajo Nation Indian Reservation in the United States became ill from an unknown pulmonary disease. Twelve people died. Local medical people could not identify the disease. Many feared the killer-disease was unique to the Navajo.

Public Health officials in the Four Corners region (Nevada, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico) requested help from the Centre for Disease Control.

CDC soon arrived with a portable lab, hazmat-suits and Virologists from the CDC Special Pathogens Branch.

CDC identified a virus that caused the deaths on the Navajo Reservation. It was an unknown strain of Hantavirus, a virus first identified in Korea. Hantavirus had infected hundreds of U.S. Army soldiers fighting in the Korean War (1950 to 1953). The pulmonary illness was often fatal.

Although similar to the Korean Hantavirus, the virus killing the Navajo was a different variation.

None of the Navajo victims had a connection to Korea.

The CDC scientists were at a loss to explain the origin of the disease or how it was transmitted.

A New Mexico Public Health researcher had the temerity to ask a Navajo Elder if he had seen an outbreak like this before.

Yes, he had, years ago.

The Navajo Nation Reservation is normally an arid region. The Elder explained that after a wet winter and wet spring, as had been the case in 1993, piñon seeds (pine nuts) are especially abundant. The abundance of piñon seeds coincided with an increase in the deer mice population. It also coincides with an increase of people dying of an unknown disease.

CDC trapped deer mice and other rodents. They tested more than fifteen hundred. Thirty percent of the Deer Mice tested positive for the same pathogen that killed the 12 Navajo. The virus was in deer mice feces.

The outbreak had nothing to do with being Navajo and everything to do with the deer mice poop.

A search of old medical records found other cases, including one of a 38-year-old Utah man who died in 1959. His cause of death had not been identified.

This new strain of Hantavirus was named Sin Nombre virus (SNV). Most still refer to it as Hantavirus.

Researchers looked at all the angles. The most important component in the discovery of Sin Nombre virus came from the Anecdotal Story by the Navajo Elder.

Medical Science needs bright, curious, inquisitive researchers with new questions and ideas. Society needs to know answers to medical riddles; riddles like “why?” ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), Alzheimer’s Disease, Epilepsy, Multiple Sclerosis or Cancer. Why? Epidemiology and Virology would be really neat careers.

Help share Saskatchewan’s history by volunteering at the WDM; Learn how at 2019 Volunteer Blitz Sasha-Gay Lobban

The Western Development Museum (WDM) is again offering locals the opportunity to become part of their team through a variety of volunteer opportunities as it hosts its 3rd annual Volunteer Blitz.

The event will be held on Saturday, January 19 at the WDM, starting at 2:00pm. The event will highlight some of the benefits of being a volunteer at the museum and how people can help in sharing Saskatchewan’s history throughout the province, as well as with the many people who visit during the year.

Education and programs coordinator at the WDM, Karla Rasmussen, says this is a great opportunity for the community to come out and learn more about the extensive list of volunteer opportunities available at the WDM. “This is our third year for the Volunteer Blitz. I had been involved in volunteer management in my past careers and I knew how important it was to continuously attract new volunteers and steward our current volunteers,” Rasmussen said. “In 2017, we held our first recruitment event and it was well received. In addition to gaining more volunteers, we also were able to raise awareness about some of the other things we do at the museum, such as restoration work and education programming. Many people are unaware that these volunteer opportunities even exist at the WDM.” Rasmussen says there is a diverse list of volunteer opportunities available for just about anyone who is interested.

“We like to say that we have something for everyone, whether you enjoy working with the public, children, adults, or in a more behind-the-scenes role. Some of our opportunities include artifact preservation/restoration — primarily our 75 Case traction engine project, as well as maintaining our Vulcan locomotive and 1950 Ford Custom Sedan; helping with our school education programs, assistance delivering special events, such as making crafts and family activities; leading heritage demonstrations, like butter churning and old-fashioned ice cream making; acting as gallery ambassadors and interpreters; being involved in our steam program; and being conductors for the K+S Potash Canada Short Line 101 train during the summer months,” Rasmussen outlined.

“We host at least one program or event each month, and as this continues to increase, so does our need for volunteer help.”

Rasmussen says even though the Museum has over 100 volunteers currently, she says some are more active than

others, hence the need to fill gaps.

“The WDM Moose Jaw has just over 100 volunteers; some are more active than others but that’s the great thing about volunteering at the Museum – you can volunteer as much or as little as your schedule allows. Most of our opportunities for special events occur on weekends, which is great for a lot of people, but we also have special days like our annual Museum Learning Day that takes place during the week for students, so we also look for volunteers who have some flexibility with their schedules. Some of our volunteers are only involved in a specific project, such as the restoration of the traction engine, while others help at almost every special event or program that we offer.”

She noted that not only is volunteering at the Museum fulfilling but there are lots of opportunities to meet others and to share and preserve the province’s history.

“Some of the benefits of volunteering at the WDM includes meeting new people, sharing Saskatchewan’s story, learn new skills, and helping to preserve and keep history alive. All volunteers also receive free admission to all four WDM locations (Moose Jaw, Yorkton, North Battleford and Saskatoon), as well as discounts in the Gift Shops and Boomtown Café.”

She added that youth can also get involved in volunteering at the WDM. “There is no age limit regarding who is able to volunteer at the WDM. However, youth must always be accompanied by an adult or guardian. We actually have several young volunteers, some of whom had started off volunteering with a family member and are now old enough to volunteer on their own. Volunteering is another great way to get our youth engaged and involved in our province’s heritage.”

The WDM is looking forward to this year’s event and hopes that more volunteers will come on board.

“Last year, we gained a dozen new

volunteers almost immediately and more continued to sign up following the Blitz as they were unable to attend the main information session.

The feedback has been great, since some people had no idea that we had such diverse opportunities to help at the Museum and appreciated learning more about what they could help with. Volunteers are so important to the WDM, as we are a non-profit, they really make up the backbone of our organization.”

This year’s Volunteer Blitz will feature special guests and other activities.

“At our Volunteer Blitz, I’ll go over the local opportunities to volunteer, and we’ll also have a few special guests joining us. One is Corinne Daelick, the head of our Education Department; she works at our WDM Corporate Office in Saskatoon and will talk about the value of volunteering. Our other guest is one of our steam volunteers, Matt Weber, and he’ll speak about his volunteer experiences and why he got

involved with the museum. Following the formal presentation, we’ll have some refreshments and Matt will offer tours of the workshop area, where some of our other steam volunteers will be available to answer questions and potential volunteers can see the Vulcan locomotive and 75 Case up close.”

Rasmussen provided a hint of what the volunteer process is like.

“When someone applies to volunteer, we conduct an informal interview and provide an orientation session to go over our volunteer handbook, and museum policies and procedures, as well as a full tour of the facility. That way, we ensure our volunteers are empowered with the knowledge and support they will need to fulfill their roles at the museum.”

Western Development Museum (WDM) reflects on provinces traditions with annual Heritage Day The Western Development Museum is continuing its tradition in spreading the rich heritage of Saskatchewan as it gears up to host Heritage Day 2019.

Heritage Day will be held on Saturday, February 9 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the WDM grounds.

The museum has been staging Heritage Day for many years as part of its mandate to share and preserve Saskatchewan’s history. Karla Rasmussen, education and program coordinator at the WDM, said Heritage Day fits right into the museum’s mission and vision.

“Heritage Day is something we’ve offered for a number of years in various shapes and forms. In more recent years, we’ve partnered with some of our friends who are involved in local and provincial historic and cultural organizations to celebrate the heritage of our city, province, and country.”

Rasmussen added that, “the idea of a Heritage Day fits into our museum’s purpose in a wonderful way, and our WDM mission and vision statements sum it up like this: ‘The Western Development museum is the keeper of Saskatchewan’s collective heritage. The museum shares the province’s unique sense of place with all people for their understanding and enjoyment – recognizing that the legacy of the past is the foundation for a sustainable future’ and ‘our vision is a Saskatchewan where everyone belongs and histories matter. We believe that people’s lives are enriched by connecting with Saskatchewan’s diverse histories. We also believe that people experience a sense

Heritage Day Saturday, February 9 1:00 - 4:00 pm In partnership with local community groups and provincial organizations, you are invited to celebrate the heritage of our country, province and city.

Our event will feature Canadian short films, information, heritage demonstrations and activities for the whole family.

of place and belonging because their histories are shared through the WDM’.”

She emphasized that the day is also important for the purpose of reflection.

“We feel Heritage Day is important to reflect upon not

only our past but also our present and future; the heritage of our province is always changing and evolving, and we encourage visitors to come out and experience and contribute to this.”

Heritage Day will be filled with numerous activities for all ages to enjoy!

“There will be some amazing displays and information booths hosted by our community partners. Some will offer demonstrations, interactive displays, games, music, photos and more. Two of the groups that we already have confirmed this year are the New Southern Plains Metis Local #160, who have a beautiful display showcasing their culture, and the Société historique de la Saskatchewan, who are bringing a game to engage visitors with and share some of our province’s francophone culture,” said Rasmussen.

“In addition to the displays, our volunteers will be delivering demonstrations of butter churning, cow milking, and roping in our lobby, and we’ll have some crafts and activities in our museum galleries for visitors to take part in, and we’ll be running a selection of Canadian films in our theatre from the National Film Board.”

Regular museum admission applies to visit the galleries (free for WDM members), however, there is no charge to visit the displays and demonstrations by community partners and there is no registration required.

Government payments make up large part of agricultural income

By Ron Walter - For Agri-Mart Express

Payments to Sask. farmers 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017

- $651.8 million - $885.8 million - $551.7 million - $312.8 million - $248.4 million - $365.2 million - $293.4 million - $450.2 million

Payments from government programs have amounted to between 12 per cent and 96 per cent EXPRESS of Canadian agricultural net incomes during the last eight years.

An analysis by Statistics Canada of government program payments shows these payments made up a substantial proportion of annual net farm income during the years 2010 to 2017.

On average, these payments accounted for 28.8 per cent of net income to agriculture — or $14.2 billion since 2010.

The highest government program payments ratio to net income was 96.6 per cent in 2010 while the lowest ratio was 12.7 per cent of net in 2013.

Program payments by government consist of federal and provincial income stabilization payments, crop insurance, some hail insurance, compensation for wildlife damage, flood damage compensation, livestock insurance, livestock support, and rebates on taxes and fees.

In Saskatchewan, these payments have ranged between 87.1 per cent of net income in 2010 to 9.75 per cent in 2012. Saskatchewan producers have received $3.76 billion over this period.

In 2017, Saskatchewan producers received $517.2 million crop insurance payments and paid $243.8 million in premiums.

Funds withdrawn that year from Agri-Invest amounted to $91.9 million with $54.6 million from the Agri-Stability program.

Toronto’s Jazz Band, BMC Organ Trio, to share expertise with local jazz musicians and host mini concert at Peacock Sasha-Gay Lobban

One of Toronto’s finest musical jazz trios, the BMC Organ Trio, is on a tour of Western Canada and will take time out of their busy schedule to share some of their musical expertise with local school music bands on Thursday, January 31.

The BMC Organ Trio will be guest clinicians for jazz bands at Peacock Collegiate during the day and will stage a mini jazz concert for students and locals in the community at Peacock’s Centennial Auditorium, starting at 7pm that same day (January 31). Tickets will be sold at the door for $5.

Local school bands, including Peacock, Central and Catholic Elementary Jazz Bands will take part in the clinics and mini concert, led by BMC Organ Trio.

The BMC Organ Trio is a soul-jazz trio from Toronto focused on original interpretations of 1960s Hammond organ “Chitlin Circuit� soul jazz.

Inspired by organist Jimmy Smith and

guitarist Grant Green, the trio is co-led by three of Canada’s leading instrumentalists and like-minded tone junkies in search of the perfect blend of the classic and contemporary.

BMC Organ Trio is Ben Bishop (guitar), Morgan Childs (drums), and Jeff McLeod (Hammond B3 – a sound for which there is no substitute).

Music director at Peacock Collegiate, Cameron Church says this is an ex-

Sarah MacDougall’s album tour “All the Hours I Have Left to Tell You Anything� comes to Moose Jaw

citing opportunity for band students. “Peacock, Central and Catholic Elementary Jazz Bands will be involved in the clinics in the afternoon with the BMO Organ Trio. At night, they will do a performance together and the Trio will perform some of their own music for the audience.�

Church says the Trio share backgrounds in education and wanted to pass on some of their knowledge to young and upcoming jazz musicians. “These three musicians all have backgrounds in education as well and so they’re looking to spread some of their knowledge and

help encourage young, future jazz musicians who are just getting their start.

They want to pass on their knowledge and experience,� Church said. “They are also on a tour of Western Canada, so it works out as a great opportunity to stop here with us and do some clinics and share their expertise, as well as some of their own music, not only for us but the whole community.�

BMC Organ Trio is among the top musicians in Toronto. Jeff McLeod grew up in Regina and has performed with many jazz artists like Neil Swainson, Kelly Jefferson and Mike Murley, although his pop/rock experience is equally impressive with performances at Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza with Serena Ryder, as well as recordings with Jason Plumb and Mike Plumb. “Many people may recognize his piano playing from the video game Cuphead soundtrack,�

Church added.

The community is invited to come out to a beautiful night of jazz playing for everyone to enjoy!

Sasha-Gay Lobban

Award-winning singer and songwriter Sarah MacDougall has launched her fourth album ‘All the Hours I Have Left to Tell You Anything’ and is touring Western Canada with a special performance for her fans.

The show will take place at the Mae Wilson Theatre on Wednesday, January 23, starting at 7pm.

MacDougall says ‘All the Hours I Have Left to Tell You Anything’ is a record about “strength, identity, death, the breakdown of relationships, birth, and the ghosts we honour and carry throughout [our lives]. It is my fourth record and was written in the midst of the death of my grandparents, the birth of my niece, and a break up. The nine songs are also influenced by the places that made me and changed me: the dark beauty of Scandinavia and the vastness of the Yukon.�

The album was produced, recorded and mixed by Montreal-based Marcus Paquin (Stars, The Barr Brothers, Timbre Timbre, Arcade Fire, The National), with additional production and recording by Rich Jaques (Lisa Loeb), Nygel Asselin (Half Moon Run), and Bill Lefler (Royal Wood). “The album is a bigger production that is pretty epic sounding. It blends genres, a little bit—pop, rock, folk and more,� MacDougall said.

MacDougall, who writes and composes music, says the feedback on the album has been very positive and has already made waves on the charts. “The feedback we’ve been getting from the album has been really great so far. I’ve seen lots of positive reviews. Music Canada said my record was #8 on the list of albums of the year and there are some other yearly lists that have given great reviews. The album continues to do great on the charts so, it’s been really great.�

She describes the album as ‘epic’, stating that it reflects the landscape of the Yukon where she has spent the last eight years. “I set out for this album to be a bit more ‘epic-sounding.’ I wanted it to reflect the landscape of the North because of its vastness.

I also wanted to include more dance records so, in that way, it’s a little different from my previous albums. My writing style is similar to my other albums but this one has a bigger sound.�

She promises her audience a great show! “It’s going to be a great time of music and stories and I’m looking forward to coming to Moose Jaw. I hope people will be able to hear my lyrics and music and have some reflection with it.�

MacDougall was born and raised in Sweden. She has won the 2012 and 2015 Western Canadian Music Award for Roots solo album of the year. The tour is a 19+ event and will require photo ID upon entry. ‘All the Hours I Have Left To Tell You Anything’ is available worldwide. Find out more at http://www.sarahmacdougall.com.

In Pursuit of Trivia

CORNER DOWN ON THE

306-694-1322

I’m not sure when the trivia bug hit me — it may have been my fourth year of Grade 8 — but I have always enjoyed having knowledge about unimportant and insignificant things. Most often, when I share this vast sea of knowledge the response

by Dale “bushy” is…who cares? In the past have been compared to one Bush of the most trivial trivialists of all time, the character Cliff Clavin from the old television sitcom “Cheers.”

When the inventers of Trivial Pursuit released their series of board games, they had no idea they were giving us trivialists a reason for having strange facts and figures bouncing around our craniums. They may have created a trivia monster…me!

Where there is one trivia nut, there are more who share the passion for unimportant and obsolete knowledge, and it wasn’t long before trivia leagues began to spring up in bars and clubs. I joined a legendary four man…er, person trivia team called the Smartypantz. We weren’t bragging; we were named after our team leader, Albert Smart (who paid the $50 league fee). We did very well with each of our special areas of inconsequential information.

We had Tony, an ex-pro football player for sports

19013PC0 19013PC1

and anatomy (he has injured most of his body at one time), Albert, who was a very well-travelled businessman for general knowledge, and Dixie, was the fashionable and educated literary woman who probably has forgotten more trivia than I will never know. Finally, there was me, who handled music, some sports, and entertainment material.

By competing in a weekly league, we began to amass points and a few rounds of beer, which eventually led to our qualifying for a chance at the championship and the many prizes that went with the title. Those prizes were mostly supplied by various breweries. That included the brewery that I worked for, so when we won the title and got all that gear, I received hats and jackets from our competition. Because of employer loyalty, I had difficulty wearing my prizes or even giving them away…sigh. Those were the glory days when the interwwweb was just a fad and probably wouldn’t last more than a year or two.

Trivia leagues have become less popular these days because of all these “smart” I-things that can answer those obsolete questions faster than a pension cheque can be spent. Now, when a good looking trivia nut with four years of Grade 8 offers pearls of wisdom as conversation starters the reaction is most often…”Who cares?”

Even our small little coffee group that meets at Jim Norton’s has had many discussions and debates stifled because someone whipped out their “smart”

I-Gizmo and asked Mr. Google for the facts, instead of using our vast knowledge to create our own facts.

The game these days is who “can get an answer from Mr. Google the fastest?” That will vary mostly because of something called WiFi band strength, but also because of our arthritic fingers.

I say “our,” but I mean “their” because I am that one guy in a million who does not possess a smart cell phone I-Thing. Instead, I rely on the vast power of my arthritic mind to get my facts right and I am correct about 60 per cent of the time. That could also be translated as I am wrong 40 per cent of the time, which is where the conversations really take off because it seems that folks like to correct me.

Now if it sounds like I have a dislike for the interwwweb and smart thingys, well, maybe I do. But since I have sold all my old Trivia Pursuit games, where else do I get all my trivia? That’s right — the interwwweb and some guy named Mr. Google.

MLAs Column

Warren Michelson

Moose Jaw North Warren Michelson, MLA

It’s -15 degrees outside with a 50 kph wind as I prepare this column, so a vacation in a warm destination is very attractive. Proper preparations can make the difference between an enjoyable vacation with wonderful memories, or an unpleasant, maybe even tragic, experience.

The most important consideration is to plan well before you leave. Your health concerns should be among your priorities. Travel to some warmer locations may require vaccinations or malaria prevention. This information, as well as any other travel advisories, is available at the Canadian Government travel website, travel.gc.ca/. For

Good Planning for a Good Vacation

vaccinations or prescriptions, Moose Jaw residents need to contact the travel clinic in Regina at 306-766-7600 for an appointment. Your Saskatchewan health coverage provides limited emergency medical care coverage outside Canada and it does not cover prescriptions filled outside of our country, so having additional health insurance is an important option to consider.

There are many different types of travel insurance available. Policies may include coverage for medical-related losses such as hospitalization and ambulance costs, or non-medical coverage such as trip cancellation and lost baggage. It’s important to know what kind of coverage you have so you don’t get caught footing the bill for something you thought was covered.

There are insurance considerations for things like car rentals or personal belongings. In limited cases, rental car coverage is included with your vehicle insurance package policy or your credit card, but not in all cases.

Loss of personal belongings taken on vacation can be

claimed on tenant or home insurance. For your property back home, unless you have a home monitoring system, most policies require having someone check your vacant home every 24 to 48 hours.

For every type of insurance coverage, it’s best to check with your insurance broker to find out what will be insured, and what extra insurance is needed. Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan urges everyone to make sure they understand coverage options as well as the exclusions and pre-existing condition clauses.

They offer the following tips: Purchase the coverage you need - Make sure you know what types of coverage you want.

Understand the exclusions and pre-existing conditions clauses.

Read your policy - If you have questions, ask the provider before you purchase the insurance.

Understand the claims process For more information about travel insurance, visit fcaa. gov.sk.ca/consumers-investors-pension-plan-members/ consumers/insurance-consumers/travel-insurance.

There are some other considerations that are addressed on the Canadian Government travel website. Some countries require that a passport is valid for a number of months after you plan to leave that particular country. It would be a nasty surprise to get off the airplane at your destination only to find out that you are not allowed to enter the country. The Government of Canada’s Registration of Canadians Abroad service is a free service that allows the Government of Canada to notify you of an emergency abroad or at home. It is well worth the time it takes to sign up.

It is advisable to notify your credit card company of your travel plans before you depart. If your credit card company notices different purchases from areas out of your normal shopping patterns, they may suspect fraudulent activity and disable your card. Notifying them with a travel alert before you leave will avoid that situation.

I hope you find value in these insights on appropriate considerations when traveling. To those who may be traveling to warm destinations, Bon Voyage! The rest of us will simply have to look forward to warmer Saskatchewan weather when Spring arrives.

PIGS to spotlight Dark Side of the Moon at local show Matthew Gourlie

A group of PIGS are bringing one of rock’s classic albums to stage in Moose Jaw. PIGS, “Canada’s most authentic Pink Floyd tribute act”, will be bringing their show to the Mae Wilson Theatre on Feb. 27. PIGS played Moose Jaw a year ago and this year will be playing Pink Floyd’s 1973 classic Dark Side of the Moon in its entirety as part of their show.

“I think it’s nice every year to take a look and say ‘we did that last year, what are we going to do that’s different?’” said Geoff Howe, PIGS bassist who assumes the role of Roger Waters.

“You look at a lot of different tribute bands and they maybe have one set list that they stick with for the entirety of their existence. We look at it as a Pink Floyd fan.

Most Pink Floyd fans that come to our show, they’re the diehards, the ones who know the more rare album tracks and the deep cuts. We try to put ourselves in the shoes of these people who come to see us, because that’s what we would be doing. We would be thinking ‘if we’re going to see Pink Floyd are they going to stray from the path?’

We have a fun time coming up with the different themes and the different albums that we’re going to do.

“What treat are we going to give the audience this year?”

PIGS has previously played the Pink Floyd albums Animals and Wish You Were Here in their entirety and are excited to bring Dark Side of the Moon to audiences to mark the album’s 45th anniversary during their Outside / In Tour.

“We do the album top to bottom: all of the instrumental passages, the sound effect segues, we do it all,” Howe said. “It really gives you an appreciation for the album as a whole and how all of the themes tie into each other.”

Dark Side of the Moon features snippets of dialogue, instrumental pieces and sound effects that link the songs and makes the album an entire entity rather than a collection of songs.

“It’s a good example of an album that grabbed people as a whole,” Howe said. “You would think that a lot of the songs on there were massive hits just because of the radio play that they get. I think it was an album that captured people’s imaginations. The themes in the album are really universal, themes about growing up and dealing with adulthood, responsibilities and regret in life, just basic human themes. These trials and tribulations

Pink Floyd tribute band, Pigs, will perform at the Mae Wilson Theatre on Feb. 27.

that everyone experiences at some point in their lives. It really casts a wide human net that people get caught in.”

Dark Side of the Moon spent 741 consecutive weeks on the Billboard album chart from 1973 to 1988. While Dark Side of the Moon is believed to be the fourth-best selling album of all time, “Money” was its only charting single in the U.S. and the only Pink Floyd single to crack the top 100 in America in the first 12 years of the band’s career.

That unique quality of Pink Floyd’s enduring success -wildly successful albums without a slew of hit singles -- gives PIGS the freedom to dig deeper into their artist’s back catalogue than most other tribute artists.

“There’s so much stuff to work with and we’re finding some interesting combinations,” said Howe. “Our first set is a grab bag of Pink Floyd’s career. We go back to the early ‘70s, we go through all of the Roger Waters period.

We even dip into the ‘80s a little bit. We try to do a blend of stuff -- album tracks and stuff that people recognize.”

PIGS will even dig into the individual members’ solo material on occasion as well.

“I find that’s something a lot of bands won’t do because they’re just a tribute to the main band. We find that thematically a lot of the Floyd solo stuff still works alongside the actual real deal. So we kind of sneak some of that stuff in there too,” he said.

The Victoria-based band has been going for a decade but relaunched four years ago after a brief hiatus. That was when Howe came on board and he’s enjoyed the opportunity to bring a lot of material he grew up with to a live audience.

“I grew up with the music and I had my favourites like The Wall and Meddle growing up with the cassettes and when I got the opportunity to play with some friends of mine that were doing this I thought ‘yeah sure, I’ll do this,’” Howe said. “It was a nice challenge and it was a way to give back my appreciation to the music that I grew up with.”

Joining Howe are Josh Szczepanowski (David Gilmour role - guitar), Jon Baglo (Snowy White role - guitar), Iain Rose (Nick Mason role - drums), Adam Basterfield (Richard Wright role - keys). They also have a touring saxophone player Dave Lawson and Anneda, a backing singer who is featured on the “Great Gig In The Sky”.

Without being locked into a specific look like an Elvis Presley tribute act or the choreography of a Michael Jackson tribute artist, PIGS still has a high bar to try to meet to try to replicate Pink Floyd’s lavish stage show.

Pink Floyd were pioneers with their giant “Mr. Screen” -- a large, circular projection panel -- that they used on the Dark Side of the Moon tour in 1974 and then moving forward.

Thanks to their collaboration with visual artist VJ Photon, PIGS has their own version of the screen used in conjunction with lasers to help realize the look of a Pink Floyd show.

“They were so visual. The music was obviously the focal point, but it was all tied in,” Howe said. “It is kind of our version of Mr. Screen. It’s a 20-foot screen and we project all of our visuals onto that. We use some of the vintage visuals -- stuff that had made it onto Mr. Screen before, stuff that’s a bit more nondescript. We don’t like to use any visuals of the band or anything like that. We’ll combine that with some new stuff that hopefully creates something that runs parallel with the music and interacts with it.”

Tickets for the show are on sale now and are available through the Cultural Centre box office.

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS Wise counsel for young girl in big city As one ages, it is inevitable that many of our friends and family will predecease us but somedays it is still startling to read the obituaries to learn that some long-time friends and acquaintances will no longer be with u s.

As a relatively naive youngster moving to the “big city” I had no idea how important it would be for me to have some older friends watching out for my health and welfare as I manoeuvred my way through the intricacies of establishing myself in a career.

I count myself extremely lucky to have caught the attenJoyce Walter tion of several women who mothered and looked out for me during those early years.

For Moose Jaw Express The newsroom crew usually had lunch together at the Uptown Cafe and the invitation was kindly offered for me to tag along after being on the job for only a few days. With limited financial resources I recall ordering chips and gravy and a small Vi-Co. Ditto for subsequent visits over the next few days as I enjoyed listening to the conversation among my older colleagues, not offering much myself for what did I know about such heavy topics as municipal taxation, school board policies and sewage disposal.

Usually the money was collected at the till by a red-headed lady with a pleasant smile who was introduced to me as “Hazel.” She asked me questions about myself and wondered, facetiously, why I was hanging out with characters like Ron Walter, Eli Karmin and Regis Yaworski? I explained they were being kind and I appreciated their companionship.

After that she told me I should be eating more nutritious food and noted that the 75 cent daily special would be cheaper than my chips and gravy — the special came with soup or salad and dessert of ice cream or Jello. I followed her advice.

The Uptown Trio of Hazel, Cleo and Rita was especially interested in my plans to marry, admired my engagement ring and presented us with a table cloth as a wedding present.

When I had extensive dental work done, Hazel wouldn’t let me subsist on milkshakes.

Local unemployment rate up but still low for Saskatchewan

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express Unemployment in the Swift Current/ Moose Jaw region is the second lowest of five Saskatchewan regions, and substantially below the provincial rate.

Unemployment in this region at the end of 2018 was four per cent, up from 3.5 per cent a year before, according to the Statistics Canada Labour Force Survey.

Only the Yorkton/Melville region had a lower unemployment rate, 3.9 per cent, down from 5.2 per cent in 2017.

The Saskatchewan unemployment rate was 5.3 per cent, down from 5.6 a year before.

The Swift Current/Moose Jaw region gained 900 workers during the year for 53,000.

Sixty-three per cent of the region’s workers participated in work, compared with 61.8 per cent at Dec. 30, 2017.

The region had 2,100 unemployed at New Year’s Eve, an increase of 300 jobless people.

Saskatchewan had 31,900 unemployed, a decline of 1,800.

The Prince Albert/Northern region had the highest unemployment rate of seven per cent, up from 6.8 per cent; followed

by Saskatoon/Biggar at 5.2 per cent, down from seven per cent; Regina/Moose Mountain at 4.9 per cent, down from 4.9 per cent.

Across Canada, the unemployment rate was 5.2 per cent, a reduction from 5.5 per cent. That left just over one million people without jobs.

She brought out mashed potatoes and gravy, mashed carrots, ground up hamburger in gravy and some kind of custard that I didn’t like but ate anyway. The charge was certainly less than it should have been but she refused any attempt to pay more.

I remembered all of her kindnesses to me when I read that Hazel Fritzler had passed away at the age of 95. We hadn’t seen each other for several years but I will always be grateful for her mothering nature, her humour and the way she made all of us feel at home over lunch at the Uptown Cafe.

Another long-time friend and mentor passed away in November in Powell River, B.C. Rev. Ruth Taylor was 98 and lived a full and remarkable life while blazing a trail for other women to follow.

As the spouse of Rev. Herb Taylor of St. George’s Anglican Church, and then as the spouse of Mayor Herb Taylor, she was a gracious hostess regardless of the occasion, proudly showing off her flowers and gardens, and gently making certain that all guests felt comfortable.

It was in her home that I first saw Ruth smoke a cigarillo — I was amazed at the the audacity of a woman smoking a miniature cigar and couldn’t wait to tell Housemate. I might have stared at first but she didn’t seem to mind.

We became firm friends, she offering some advice on my writing style and providing ideas for stories on the lifestyles pages of the newspaper. It was at her suggestion that I wrote a story about abortions or lack of them at the Union Hospital and got my ears pinned back from both sides of the issue. She told me at least people were reading and not to take any of the comments personally.

We were invited to attend the ceremony when she was ordained as one of the first female priests in the Anglican Church of Canada at the age of 60. We were so proud of her for ignoring those who were against women as priests and again forging her own path.

She officiated at my Dad’s funeral service and embraced our family in her own quiet and confident way, giving hugs all around. When questioned why we, as non-Anglicans, would have her do the service, my response: “Why not?”

And so, on reflection, both Hazel and Ruth enriched my life in different ways and I will always be grateful for having them around for wise counsel and many good times.

Haggis, leprechauns and Guinness Musings of a Nomad Rick Schwabe I had been doing student trips for over thirty years. Almost every year I would have parents come up to me and ask why I didn’t do one for adults. When I retired I thought why not? Let’s see if there is an interest, so we started a travel club. Adventures Inc. Our first trip was to England, Scotland and Ireland. I was astounded by the positive reception and our little travel club began to grow. We now have about 120 members predominately from Moose Jaw but some from B.C., Alberta and even Portland, Oregon. So, in the summer of 2017, we took our inaugural tour and invaded the British Isles. What a blast!

Highlights of England, Scotland & Ireland. The trip sold out in a month. We combined with a terrific group of people from B.C. lead by Sharon Smith. She had nine and I had 27, for a total of 36 people.

The trip was a private trip, so only our people could be admitted onto the tour.

It was an incredible experience. I could not have had a better group of travel companions. Our tour guide was a young lady from London named Kathy Pickus. She was fabulous.

We took the two day preextention to London. We had extra days to enjoy one of the world’s most famous cities. I did get into a little trouble on the second night in Lon-

don. We were enjoying a little cocktail on what I thought was the balcony outside my room. It turns out that it was the roof top and not a balcony and the posh hotel management was not amused at the colonials nightly escapade. Too bad! It was a fun night. Lorie even got a “lovely” little wrist cast to remember the evening.

In London, we saw Trafalgar Square, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the London Eye. We saw the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. I finally got out to Windsor Castle

Legion supports local organizations

and was amazed. I don’t know why it took me so long to get there. Les Miserables on the West End was a play I had wanted to see for a long time. Some of our group also attended Wicked.

Larry and Doug took the night to tour one of London’s most famous pubs - Mr. Foggs . Next Day we took the speed train to Edinburgh. It was still a four hour ride, but we enjoyed the beautiful Yorkshire country side.

Edinburgh: Most of the group felt that we needed more time in Edinburgh. After the hustle and bustle of London, the pace of Edinburgh was refreshing. We toured Edinburgh Castle, and climbed to the top of the Walter Scott memorial. Doug and Larry took the train up to Saint Andrews and checked out the golf course. The rest of us prepared for the Royal Mile Pub Crawl. We took a double decker bus to the World’s End pub to start. That was the last time the group was together.

The Royal Mile is full of an incredible array of pubs. Bob, Rick and Barb from B.C. and Chelsea (an EF tour consultant who joined us) and I finally got to Frankenstein’s. We hailed a cab and got back to the hotel. Bucket list item - Royal Mile

Pub Crawl - DONE! Next day we were on the bus through the beautiful lake district. In Wales we stopped in a little town of Lianfairpwligwyngyllgogerychwyll. I hope I spelled it right, but then who’d know if I didn’t. We stayed in Liverpool and saw Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane. John and Paul’s boyhood homes were nicer than I had expected. We could have spent more time.

(I just realized that phrase is appearing often in this article) Then to Dublin. There is a magic to Ireland that is hard to explain. I loved Dublin. We attended a great Irish Dinner with dancing, singing and a comedian. It was a great night.

Then off to Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone. Now I have the “gift of the gab.” Thank God. I was so shy and demur before. We took the Ring of Kerry, sailed on the Killarney Lake, and ended in Limerick passing the Cliffs of Mohr. Few places can compare to the natural beauty of Irelands west coast.

All in all it was a great trip. Didn’t see any leprechauns, but I might have seen Nessie on the night of the pub crawl.

I take long swims in the cold ocean waters. When I need a break I climb onto icy shores or ice floes to rest. I dive from sea ice to get clams and snails to eat, too. 46 45 We have our babies on ice and then swim back to shore with these pups. If there is less ice and we have to swim longer distances, some pups may not make it 44 to the shore. In some areas we have been crowding together too tightly on the 43 ice. Sometimes, when frightened, we have all rushed back to the ocean at once resulting in a stampede where some of us have been hurt or killed.

BIZWORLD

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Most of stocks covered by Bizworld ended last year under water The stock market is full of seeming bargains, following four months of selling caused by jitters over interest rates, trade wars, European business decline and Brexit uncertainty.

For investors, this market is like a Black Friday shopping for bargains. Beware though. Cyber Monday follows Black Friday with even better bargains.

This stage is where the old investing adage - don’t catch a falling knife - is most appropriate to remember. Buyers now might just catch a falling knife if prices fall further - a real possibility.

Trade war jitters, Brexit fears, worries over a sinking European economy and some interest rate concerns are still here.

Most of the stocks covered by Bizworld in 2018 caught the falling knife before New Year’s. Twenty-three of 29 ended the year in the red.

Of the six with price gains, Empire Inc., the owner of Safeway/Sobeys, turned in the best gain with 23 per cent to $28.83, all in the last three months.

Second was Pretium, the B.C. gold miner with a 15 per cent gain to $11.57. Another gold miner, Lundin Gold, gained four per cent to $4.99.

Ball Corporation, the beverage container maker, was third at 13 per cent to $45.98Us while competitor Crown

Holdings gained almost two per cent to $41.57US. iRythym Tech, the maker of a device assessing heart flutter, gained 10 per cent to $69.48US. Other gold stocks were mixed with Atlantic Gold, $1.65, the same as when covered while Equinox lost 12 per cent.

Miners did not fare well. Copper/zinc/coal digger Teck fell 18 per cent to $29.39; zinc/copper firm Hudbay Minerals slid 40 per cent to $6.46; copper miner First Quantum shed 87 per cent to $10.04.

Coeur Holdings, the silver miner, fell 12 per cent to $4.47. Cobalt mine builder eCobalt Solutions lost 65 per cent to 55 cents on lower cobalt prices and market jitters.

Locally, potash mine builder Gensource dropped 25 per cent to nine cents. Saskatchewan zinc explorer Murchison Minerals fell 63 per cent to six cents.

Brownsite zinc mine developer, Darnley Bay was taken over by Osisko Metals, with the new holding at 14 cents, down 60 per cent.

Oil and gas producer Bonavista Energy sank 25 per cent to $1.20.

GMP Capital, financing crypto-currency, cannabis stocks and energy stocks, lost 42 per cent to $1.88.

Pond Technologies, developer of algae-eating carbon pollution, was cut in half to 50 cents. MGX Minerals,

commercializing a process to extract lithium from oil well production, shed 21 per cent to 45 cents.

Gene-splicer and modifier Calyxt dropped 43 per cent to $10.36US. CVR Medical Corp., developer of heart failure diagnostics, dropped 36 per cent to 25 cents.

Two recreational vehicle makers fell on steel tariff concerns: Winnebago shed 41 per cent to $24.21US and Thor Industries lost 51 per cent to $52US. Transcontinental Inc., re-making itself into a packaging maker, shed 30 per cent to $19.30.

Riddled with privacy jitters, Facebook lost 18 per cent to $131US. U.S. oil rig mover Daseke Inc. lost 66 per cent to $3.68US. Potash, phosphate miner and nitrogen fertilizer giant Nutrien lost eight per cent to $64.12.

Chorus Aviation, contract operator of regional airlines for Air Canada with a growing aircraft leasing division, lost 38 per cent to $5.64.

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

Bizworld does not recommend investments.

From The Kitchen

S o u p s w a r m i n n a rds a n d k i t c h e n s With the winds howling outside and threats of snowstorms being carried on weather channels, coming into the kitchen where a large pot of soup is simmering is perhaps one of the few happy moments of a chilly winter day.

Recipes abound for such comfort foods but the members of the Dufferin Agricultural Society in Carman, Man. collected tried and true recipes as part of a cookbook published in 2000 to celebrate the community’s homecoming reunion.

This week’s recipes come from this cookbook.

••• Bean and Bacon Soup 1 cup diced carrots 1 cup diced celery 1 cup diced onion 6 cups chicken broth 6 slices bacon, browned and crumbled 3-14 oz. cans pork and beans grated cheese or sour cream for garnish Saute vegetables until tender. Add broth and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce heat and add bacon and beans. Simmer for 30 minutes. Spoon into serving

bowls and add preferred garnish.

••• Taco Soup 1 1/2 lbs. ground beef 1/2 cup chopped onion large can diced tomatoes with juice 1 pkg. taco seasoning 1-2 cups water 1-14 oz. can kidney beans, washed and drained 1-19 oz. can tomato soup or sauce salt and pepper to taste 1 cup grated cheese Brown ground beef in a deep skillet. Drain any fat. Add onions and cook until onions are tender. Transfer to a large soup pot. Add remaining ingredients, except cheese. Simmer for 15 minutes. Ladle into bowls and top with cheese.

••• Onion Soup 6 tbsps. butter or margarine

4 large onions, halved and sliced 2 cans condensed beef consommé 1 cup hot water 1/4 cup dry white wine 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce 1/8 tsp. pepper 8 slices French bread, 1/2 inch thick 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese, divided 1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. grated parmesan cheese, divided In a 3 quart casserole, place butter and onions. Cover and microwave at high for 18-20 minutes or until tender. Stir twice. Add consommé, hot water, wine, Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Cover and microwave at high for 8-9 minutes or until boiling.

Divide among four large soup bowls. Top each with two slices of French bread. Sprinkle 2 tbsps. of Swiss cheese and 1 tsp. parmesan cheese over bread in each bowl. Arrange in circle in microwave oven and microwave on low for 5-6 minutes or until cheese melts.

Kropf signs pro cycling contract

email: editor@mjvexpress.com

Years of hard work land Caronport rider deal with DCBank Pro Cycling Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Up to now, cycling training for Josh Kropf was many hours of biking on the Trans-Canada Highway between Caronport and Moose Jaw, sometimes even Moose Jaw and Regina.

Now it’ll be 150-kilometre marathons on back-to-back days through the mountains of British Columbia or hours of peloton racing in scorching weather during the Tour of the Gila, or even giving it everything possible during the one-day Vuelta a San Juan.

Exotic races, foreign locales and elite competitors are Kropf’s future in the sport, after signing his first professional racing contract with newly re-christened DCBank Pro Cycling.

“It’s pretty surreal,” Kropf said from his home in Medicine Hat. “It’s definitely been a long process from where I started, from racing bikes in Sask and my first race in Moose Jaw, and then with my dad in Buffalo Pound...

There have been a lot of ups and downs and there were times I’ve wondered whether I should keep going or not.

It’s definitely been hard but it’s all paid off now, just not giving up and persevering.”

DCBank Pro Cycling – the title sponsor name for M1 Pro Cycling – is entering their fifth season competing in the UCI Continental Division with a focus on developing young up-and-coming cyclists. Kropf, 23, was part of a group of signees designed to bolster the team for the 2019 season. Competing in the UCI America Tour, DCBank takes part in races throughout North America and will have a full slate of competition beginning in April.

As a professional rider, Kropf will find himself receiving more support and will be able to focus on riding at the highest level possible in the largest races available to him and and his team.

“The biggest difference is you get more races and bigger races... the previous years, the team covered the expenses and hotels and stuff like that, then your grocery costs and

It’s a different level for sure and something I’m looking forward to.”

While the money itself might not be as much, compared to the elite UCI World Tour riders, it’s all the more incentive to finish as high in the standings as possible going forward.

“The top guys make some good money, but the way it is compared to Europe, it’s a lifestyle; that’s how they make their money,” Kropf said. “Sometimes you sign bigger contracts and you might make something, but some of the time when you’re racing pro you’re not making a lot of money, so you have to win so you can get some of that prize money in your pocket.”

That’s where sponsorship comes in, and as a pro, Kropf is hoping that situation becomes that much easier..

“The sponsors have been the most important thing and

there’s no way we could do it without them,” he said.

With that support comes the entire world of professional cycling and everything involved in performing at that level. Kropf is under no illusions that things are about to get any easier. In fact, he expects the difficulty level of his chosen sport to ramp up exponentially.

“You have to be ready for it, so I’m working closely with my coach and the sports director of DCBank, especially as new guys coming in,” he said. “The intensity of it can be pretty crazy, with 150 (kilometre races) back to back and finishes at 50, 55 kilometres per hour. So it’s going to be different.

“But I’ll be ready for it, for sure. I enjoy doing long rides and working hard, I’m not afraid of that. So I’m definitely going to be prepared for it.”

DCBank classifies Kropf as an all-arounder, setting him into a universal rider role compared to the team’s climbers and sprinters. What that turns into when it comes to team strategy is yet to be determined.

“There are different expectations for different guys depending on what their role on the team is, but they definitely expect more out of you,” he said. “You have to be coming into the season in shape and be willing to fight for every inch. Even if it’s not your day, you can’t slack off and give up, even when things are against you. You have to keep fighting for your team.”

Regardless of what happens, Kropf plans to make the most of his opportunity. And there will be no shortage of memories of his days on the highways of Saskatchewan.

“Even when I’m training for races, I go back to my days riding up and down the Number One,” Kropf said with a laugh. “I always think of the 20K to Moose Jaw and then 20K back to Caronport; it’s just amazing how much things have changed since then.

“I’m excited to see what it’s going to be like, with the bigger races and the higher intensity.”

Huge second half propels Toilers over Spirits Peacock takes 61-33 win at Vanier; Vikings also victorious Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Things were apparently a little too close for comfort for the Peacock Toilers after the first half of their recent Moose Jaw high school girls basketball contest with the Vanier Spirits.

In this Moose Jaw league, a 29-20 lead can turn into a deficit with only a handful of trips down the floor.

So the Toilers put their balance to work – and the end result was a 19-6 quarter-long run that saw Peacock take control of the game and go on to a 61-33 victory.

“I think we just kind of realized ‘oh, we are playing basketball and we need to get back into this game’,” Toilers veteran Emily Mackenzie said. “We just weren’t in it; our heads weren’t in it in the first half and we were just able to get back into it.”

Anna Maelde picked up eight points in the quarter and finished with 13 for the game; Piper Ingalls led Peacock with 17 points, including 11 in the second half.

As much as that offensive output turned the game in the Toilers’ favour, their defence holding Vanier to only six points in the quarter and then seven in

the final frame had as much of an impact.

“I think we picked up our defence in the last part of the game, sometimes our offence isn’t falling for us, but we get

back and play tough D and that wins us games,” Mackenzie said.

The key going forward will be putting together a full contest with the same level of play as they showed in the second half.

“I think we need to work on starting more that way, but it’s good to come out and play that way at any point in the game even if it was the third quarter,” Mackenzie said.

For their part, the Spirits were heartened by how close things were in the first half against one of the league leaders.

“I thought we played really good defence, we weren’t able to shut them down but we played really well tonight,” said Spirits Grade 10 Jewellyn McDonald. “We’re still working on it, we’re only six weeks into the season and there’s still lots of work to do, but I’m really proud of the girls and how they played tonight.”

Madison Miller and Jenna Meili each led Vanier with eight points.

In boy’s league action, Javan Panko and Josh Auger scored 16 points each as the

Jenna Meili of the Vanier Spirits (30) scrambles for a loose ball against Peacock’s Caitlin Miller.

Vikings took a 70-59 victory over the Toilers.

Natham Meili added 11 as Vanier led 39-27 at the half.

Logan Findlay scored 16 to lead Peacock with Cole Morash added 11 points.

Scores were unavailable from the games between Central and Assiniboia.

Barker wins men’s bonspiel

Women’s rink puts together undefeated run ahead of Scotties provincials Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

A women’s team winning the championship final of a men’s bonspiel is just another day at the rink for the Penny Barker rink. Barker and her rink of third Deanna Doig, second Christie Gamble and lead Danielle Sicinski went undefeated through four games to take first place in the 20-team Moose Jaw Men’s Bonspiel this past weekend at the Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre, a result that she hopes will bode well when they take the ice at Viterra Scotties provincials beginning Jan. 22 in Humboldt.

“We were just really looking forward to some good games heading into provincials and we definitely got some good games this weekend,” said Barker, who took an 8-3 win over Ryan Wenarchuk in the championship final. “Everybody is throwing well and it’s good to get some games in since it’s been awhile since we’ve had a spiel.”

Barker opened the event with an 8-3 win over Wade Gray before downing Team Behm 8-4 in the quarter-final and Team Krupski 6-2 in the semifinal.

Taking the ice against men’s teams is nothing unusual for Barker and crew – her squad in the Original 16 Superleague is currently in second place and regularly suc-

cessfully duels with the top rinks in Moose Jaw curling.

“It’s different styles at times, they can throw a lot more weight and clear things out of the house,” Barker said of how playing men can help her rink’s game. “I think it’s good to play against that kind of strategy as well as the stronger sweeping and things like that. It never hurts to get in games like that, it all helps us prepare.”

And on that note, things are obviously looking good.

“We’re trying to gear up and we’re on the right track; we’re feeling good and feeling confident and we just have to keep that going the next couple of weeks,” Barker said.

The ‘B’ final saw a bit of an upset as David Gray’s junior team put together an impressive run after losing their opener 7-6 to Team Brister. Gray proceeded to rattle off four straight wins, eventually hitting and sticking in the eight foot with his final shot of the tournament to take a 7-6 win over Team McConnell of Regina.

Murray Stroeder stole one in the seventh to take a 5-4 win over Team Brister in the ‘C’ final, while Behm took a 5-4 win over Ben Gamble in the ‘D’ final and Stan Barnsley rolled to an 11-3 win over Team Cornea to claim the ‘E’ final.

Career filled with coaching success sees Baba enter Hall of Fame Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express There are few coaches in the annals of Moose Jaw sports who have seen as much success – and built more champions – than what Jim Baba has accomplished in the sport of baseball.

From Canada Games medals to contending at the Pan American Games and world championships, Baba had seen players under his charge accomplish impressive feats, to the point he continues to work for Baseball Canada today as a technical director heading into the 2020 Olympic Games.

With that kind of a pedigree, it came with little surprise when Baba was announced as one of the six inductees for the Moose Jaw and District Sports Hall of Fame. He was enshrined on the Wall of Fame in Mosaic Place during the annual induction banquet on Oct. 20.

“I’m really humbled,” Baba said just prior to the event. “To have your own hometown say you’ve done enough in sports to be recognized like this, that’s quite an achievement, especially to see some of the names on the wall behind me.

“I think the experience in sports that I had, you just kind of carry on your passion for the game. Then something like this happens and you get inducted into the Hall of Fame... My grandkids can

come in 30 years and see their grandpa up on the wall, and that means a lot.”

Baba’s love of baseball started at an early age and was in large part a product of father Farris Baba’s dedication to the sport. Himself a winner of the Baseball Sask. Special Award of Merit, Farris had Jim learning to catch, throw and hit as a toddler and even finagled his son into organized baseball as soon as he could play the game.

“He registered me and actually had to cheat with my age too, so I could play a little early... just his passion for the game, his love for the game fell over onto me. I just couldn’t get him to start cheering for the Yankees like I did,” Baba said with a laugh. “But with his passion for ball, we just kept following it.”

Baba’s skill as a player saw him find success throughout his career – beginning with an appearance in the Little League Canada championship final and continuing through his time playing college baseball for Yakima Valley, where they won the state title in 1976. But some of his greatest memories in the sport come from his home diamond.

“Things like winning the SMBL championship here in Moose Jaw. We did it a couple of times and back then I was

Jim Baba was recently inducted into the Moose Jaw and District Sports Hall of Fame. a cocky 18-, 19-year-old and I played with all the veterans and I was one of the lucky guys who got to come up and play right away,” Baba said. “We had some really great players and even better guys on those teams and it was a blast to be able to play with them.”

It was during his time with the Moose Jaw Devons and Regals that the prospect of coaching at a high level first came to the forefront, courtesy of legendary player/coach Ned Andreoni.

“I was lucky enough when I first joined the Regals, the old guard was still around,” Baba said. “Ned, Larry

Tollefson, all those guys were still there.

I had a great learning base and doggone if it was a couple of years later and Ned tells me ‘ah, I think you should coach.’

“So then you do that, but you never expect to be able to coach Team Canada down the road. But things worked out.

We got silver at the 1989 Canada Games and the coach of the Team Canada was at the Games, he spotted me and said ‘hey, I want you to go with us in February with this guest coaching opportunity.’ I went for two weeks and didn’t think nothing of it and then that winter he’s calling me and telling me ‘by the way, they want you to coach the national team.’ So it was just like that; things worked out perfectly.”

Baba ended up as an assistant coach for the 1991 Pan American Games before taking over as the head coach of the Baseball Canada national team from 1993-98 as well as 2003 and 2005, with Canada winning bronze at the 1994 World University Games.

He’s served as the executive director of Baseball Canada since 2000 and was the technical director for the 2015 Pan Am Games in Toronto where Canada won the gold medal with an extra-innings win over the United States.

Baba was inducted into the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame as an individual in 2007 and in 2015 as a member of the Devons/Regals.

He was inducted into the Moose Jaw and District Sports Hall of Fame alongside former NHL standout Doug Smail, former national champion figure skater Susan Humphreys, hockey and baseball athlete/builder George Hunchk, baseball and curling coach Roger Anholt, and multi-sport builder Stanley ‘Hub’ Gutheridge.

Warriors drop fourth straight in close loss to Brandon Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Warriors picked up one of their biggest wins of the season two weekends ago when they defeated the CHL top-ranked Prince Albert Raiders in Prince Albert.

Since then, it’s been some tough times.

The Warriors lost all three games in Western Hockey League action this past week, extending their losing skid to four games as they fell 3-2 in a shootout to Calgary on Jan. 9, lost 7-2 to the Seattle Thunderbirds Jan. 11 and dropped a 3-2 decision to the Brandon Wheat Kings.

The three losses all came on home ice at Mosaic Place and saw the Tribe fall to 21-11-5-2, good enough for a nine-point lead on the Wheat Kings for third place in the East Division, as well as nine points back of Saskatoon for second place in the East – with six games in hand.

The two weekend games marked the Warriors’ debut for the team’s pair of trade deadline acquisitions, with forward Alec Zawatsky scoring the Tribe’s second goal in their loss to Brandon. That was of little consolation to the 19-year-old forward, though, as seeing the team regain its winning ways was far more important. “When there’s a team chasing you in the standings it’s not good enough when you lose a game like that, since it’s a four-point game,� Zawatsky said. “We had to be better tonight.�

It’s been a quick adjustment for the former Swift Current Broncos leading scorer as he adapts to the speed the Warriors play with. “I feel good out there, all the guys are taking me in and I’m just learning how to be a Moose Jaw Warrior,� he said. “It’s a good fit and I’m looking forward to seeing

Things weren’t near as close the previous night against Seattle. Tracey opened scoring with the only goal of the first period, but it was all Thunderbirds from there as Nolan Volcan, Andrej Kukuca, Sean Richards and Keltie Jeri-Leon all scored in the second period.

Tristin Langan got one back for Moose Jaw in the third before Jarret Tyszka and Tyler Carpendale scored to go along with Kukuca’s second of the game. Noah Philp had four assists. Roddy Ross made 24 saves in the win, Brodan Salmond stopped 20 shots in the loss.

Warriors make pair of deadline deals

No blockbusters on deadline day as Western Hockey League sets rosters for remainder of season Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

It might come as a bit of a surprise, but Moose Jaw Warriors general manager Alan Millar didn’t find the 2019 Western Hockey League trade deadline to be any more stressful than what he and his staff went through last year.

Different year, different trade deadline, different circumstances to be sure. But that’s not to say things are any easier when you’re trying to finalize the puzzle and take a shot at a league championship. “I think any time you’re dealing with a roster deadline and you’re in a position where you’re balancing the future of the club and trying to strengthen your team in the moment, it’s a challenge,� Millar said. “Maybe it’s at a different level just because the two markets from this year to last were so different. So it’s been a challenging day, a challenging few days and a challenging couple of weeks.�

The Warriors made a pair of deals on deadline day, first adding Regina product Carson Denomie from the Kamloops Blazers for a seventh round pick in 2019 and closing out the day by adding Swift Current Broncos leading scorer Alec Zawatsky for defenceman Tyler Smithies, a fourth-round pick in 2020 and a fifthround pick in 2021. A day earlier, the Warriors sent defenceman Brendan Kwiatkowski to the Kootenay Ice for a ninthround pick in 2019.

Zawatsky, 19, has 13 goals and 26 points in 39 games this season while Denomie, 18 – a member of the Pat Canadians 2017 Sask. Midget AAA champions – has a goal and four points in 36 games.

Both players are expected to add depth to the team’s forward corps, a goal Millar had going into the trade deadline and one he feels has been successfully met. “Lots of teams made some moves, lots of teams got better and I’m hopeful we’re one of them,� Millar said. “Just with the experience we’ve added, I look at the way our team has played and being able to compliment that group with a couple of veteran forwards, I think it’ll be good.

Warriors newcomer Carson Desnomie breaks in on the Brandon goal during action Saturday. “And it’s good timing, the trade deadline is when it is, but we have a couple of home games here that are important and then our guys get on the road for seven games in 13 games, and from a team bonding, team building perspective really help the team perform the rest of the season.�

The 2019 deadline ended up being fairly sedate when it came to major deals. Last season, the Tribe – then contending for the WHL regular season championship – made one of the major splashes on a busy day, adding Team Canada defenceman Kale Clague for a package of players that included Central Scouting-ranked Luka Burzan.

That trade was one of many head-turners on deadline day and in the weeks leading up to the Jan. 10. “A year ago you had nine teams who thought they could win the WHL championship; it was a very aggressive market. This year was much different,� Millar said. “The market was very thin in terms of players available, it was forward heavy and there are as many as 19 teams still playing for something. So it was totally different at our end and it got to the point that we wanted to compliment our forward group, hopefully add some varied scoring and start with some depth and experience.�

A major question mark was what the Warriors would do with World Junior defenceman and team captain Josh Brook.

The second-round Montreal Canadiens draft pick is having an outstanding season and was rumoured to be off to one of the Western Conference contenders or even part of a draft pick package to the CHL top-ranked Prince Albert Raiders.

In the end, Brook remained a Warrior and will do so for the remainder of his junior career. “I think that whenever you consider trading someone like Josh Brook, it’s a very similar situation to where we were with Brayden Point,� Millar said. “There are a lot of variables and certainly the performance of you club is a variable. But it’s also where your team is at in the big picture and what you have and don’t have

Both new players made their debut on Jan. 12 when the Warriors hosted the Seattle Thunderbirds.

Selects host series of scrimmages with Manitoba

Special training camp weekend part of gear-up for International Pigskin Classic Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

There was a time when the Saskatchewan Selects football program was just a few players heading over the border to get in a few more games and practices during the winter months.

The Selects Interprovincial tournament during the Jan. 5 weekend at YaraCentre was a perfect example of just how much things have grown.

Three of the Selects’ four teams took part in the event, which drew thousands of parents, players, coaches and fans from all over Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The local fieldhouse was packed three and four deep up and down both sidelines as players in the 10-and-under, 12U and 14U all went through their paces in preparation for the 2019 International Pigskin Classic in San Antonio, Texas.

Selects organizer Zeljko Stefanovic wouldn’t have things any other way. In fact, things haven’t come close to the scope he hopes to the see the program grow – even to the point of adding in games against teams from Alberta next year. “This is unbelievable to see all these people here packed in, we had to move a bunch of chairs and bring in stands and things like that,� Stefanovic said with his customary enthusiasm. “There are three parking lots out there completely full, you can’t even find a place to park... this is what this place was built for, man. We have over 300 kids here this weekend taking part in this tournament and it’s only going to get even bigger and better.�

The tournament was the second of it’s kind and was born out of necessity for both provincial programs – the lack of competition prior to taking the field at the Pigskin had proven less than ideal in the past. “We used to get to San Antonio and we hadn’t hit anyone else, we’d just been playing against our own defence and our own offence,� Stefanovic said. “So this is an unbelievable opportunity for us to compete against Manitoba. And they brought it, man; they were big and they were competitive. They really gave us a challenge.�

The 12-and-under contest was a perfect example of that. Each team had 10 plays from scrimmage as part

of a ‘quarter’ of football, and both squads spent their time on field moving a few yards off the 50-yard line – one team would advance, the other would make a big defensive play for lost yards, and so on. In the end, the ball never made it to the red zone for either team – the kind of the competitive balance and defensive performances that showed just how much preparation had taken place. “It’s been tremendous and we’re so happy with how this has taken off.. it’s been a learning experience because no one has ever done this before, so there’s no template,� Stefanovic said. “But it’s been fun.�

And to be sure, the Selects aren’t preparing for what some might think is just a spring vacation. No, with the level of scouting and the sets of eyes keeping a close eye on proceedings while seeking out talent, the Selects take things especially serious. And it’s shown on the field, as Saskatchewan is regularly a top contender at the event. “I was talking to one of the dads earlier this spring, and we remembered when we used to go down there and all the parents expected to compete,� Stefanovic said. “Now we go down there and all the parents and players

expect to win. So things have changed. Like I just told the parents a few minutes ago, our kids are way better than anyone gives them credit for, than we even give them credit for. If we grind and work hard, the sky is the limit.�

The International Pigskin runs from Feb. 23-24; the four Selects squads – the previously mentioned three age classes as well as a 16-and-under team -- will practice at YaraCentre each weekend until leaving for San Antonio on Feb. 20. The tournament features 50 teams from all over the U.S. and Canada, many of which make regular appearances alongside the Selects. “Teams that we’ve played in the past and keep coming back and making the tournament as great as it is... our kids have become friends with those kids and they still keep in touch,� Stefanovic said. “So it’s been good and it’s an awesome program. “And we love it because it’s so much fun,� he continued. “We have so many good people involved and so many good coaches and it just translates into what the kids are doing, they can see it and sense it.�

Regina rallies in third for win over Generals Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

They might have a long road ahead of them, but it’s been so far, so good for the Moose Jaw Generals since returning from the Christmas break.

Even a 3-2 loss to the Regina Pat Canadians in Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League action Sunday at Mosaic Place showed signs of their sudden turn of fortune. Combined with the fact Moose Jaw won their first two games after the break – 5-2 over the Prince Albert Mintos and 5-2 over the Beardy’s Blackhawks – and one can see why there’s a sudden case of optimism in the Generals ranks.

“The kids have for the most part been staying positive and I think that’s part of it,” said Generals coach Ray Wareham. “They came back after the break there and were all smiles, then we had a really good weekend and a really week of practice and we were coming in hoping to carry this over.”

And for 40 minutes against Regina, that’s what the local squad did. The third-place Pat Canadians took a 1-0 lead out of the first period, but Evan Sare got that one back for Moose Jaw with a power play goal with 2:29 remaining

in the second.

Then came the third period, with the shot clock saying it all: 22-1 Regina, with the Pat C’s Cole Sillinger scoring the eventual game-winner 57 seconds into the period.

“For 40 minutes we did we had to to compete against these guys, then in the third period we got away from the gameplan, became individuals and took some stupid penalties,” Wareham said. “Then you stand around watching them and they’re too good of a team to do that.”

Two of the penalties were especially egregious in that both came seconds after the Generals had gone on the power play. What made the collapse so frustrating was how well they’d played to that point.

“For the first two periods we kept them in check, the shots were something like 18-12 (Regina),” Wareham said. “We’d like to get more shots on net, but we knew if we blocked up the middle and stuff like that it would give us a chance. So we did that and did a great job of it through 40, but in the third period I’m sure what happened but it was a completely different game.”

Jaxson Taupert made 37 saves in the loss.

In the Generals’ first game back from the break against Prince Albert, the two teams were tied 1-1 through two periods with Owen Slugoski scoring the lone Moose Jaw goal. The floodgates opened in the third, though, as Cody Davis, Steven Kesslering and Jeron Kletzel all scored in the span of 1:55 early in the period to give the Generals control of the game.

Kesslering added an insurance marker midway through the frame. Taupert turned aside 19 shots for the win.

One day later at Beardy’s, Sare and Davis gave the Generals a 2-1 lead out of the first period and Kesslering added a goal in the second for a 3-2 Moose Jaw edge.

David and Casey McDonald each scored once in he third as Moose Jaw went on to the 5-2 win.

The Generals now hold a 10-18-2-1 record, good enough for ninth place in the 12-team league, eight points back of the Saskatoon Contacts for the final playoff spot.

Citizens took advantage of free bus service on New Year’s Eve

Moose Jaw Transit gave 87 people a safe ride to begin 2019.

The annual “Wing In the New Year” initiative from SGI and the City of Moose Jaw allowed anyone to ride Moose Jaw transit for free from 7:55 p.m. New Year’s Eve through 3:15 a.m. New Year’s morning.

Designed to offer those celebrating the New Year a safe, free transportation alternative, 87 riders took advantage of the program in Moose Jaw this year. That marks an increase of 50 riders, up from last year’s total of 37.

“The City of Moose Jaw thanks everyone who chose a safe ride home on New Year’s,” said Moose Jaw Mayor Fraser Tolmie in a press release. “We’re happy to partner with SGI on this valuable service that makes Moose Jaw a safer community.”

“The Moose Jaw Police Service is thrilled to see the increase in people using the free transportation service provided by SGI and the City Moose Jaw,” added Sgt. Kevin Pilsworth of the Moose Jaw Police Service. “This program definitely helps keep our roads safer.”

This was the 30th year for the program, which is sponsored by SGI and the City of Moose Jaw.

Forage specialist explains feeding straw-grain rations

By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express

Low yields from hay crops this EXPRESS summer past and high fall hay prices have some cattle producers turning to straw rations for livestock feed.

A beef and forage specialist with Alberta Ag-Info Centre says testing feed supplies is the first step in determining cost versus benefit of various supplements.

Nutritional concerns need to be addressed when feeding straw-grain rations, says Barry Yaremicio of Alberta Agriculture.

Straw should not be fed at levels of more than 1.5 per cent of body weight — between 17 and 21 pounds a day for a 1,400-pound cow.

Since straw is high in fibre but low in energy, pro-

tein, calcium and magnesium, he suggests feeding 10 pounds a day of barley or 11 pounds of oats to meet energy requirements.

While this straw-grain ratio provides 6.5 per cent protein, pregnant cows require seven per cent protein with late stage pregnancy needing nine per cent protein to prepare the growing calf and for milk production.

Options include adding two pounds per day of peas increased to five pounds in late pregnancy, or one to three pounds a day of canola meal.

Peas contain 24 per cent protein so with $235 a tonne price, protein costs are 44 cents a pound. Canola, at 38 per cent protein, and $315 a tonne, costs 37 cents a pound for protein.

In calculating trace minerals, Yaremicio says producers need to consider the expected intake and the concentration of nutrients in the supplements.

For macro minerals – calcium, phosphorous, salt, magnesium and potassium – he says a high calcium product such as 24:3 or limestone is needed with straw-grain rations.

All Are Welcome!

On the Front Porch

by Wanda Smith

Character Reference I had the honour of writing a character reference letter for a friend who was applying for a job. It was an easy task; in fact, it was hard to keep the letter concise since she had so many great qualities to be spoken of. If I was hiring, I would have no doubt she would be an exemplary human being with the brain power, personality, and heart necessary to succeed in any setting.

If you or I had to have a character reference letter written, how would it read? In writing the aforementioned letter, it got me to thinking of what others would say about me. I would definitely want to be known as my friend is known; competent, friendly, prompt, committed, faithful and confident among a myriad of other attributes. As I journey through this New Year, I’m purposeful in my self-awareness to work on some of these character qualities that I admire in others. For one thing, I know I’m not real strong in the empathy or compassion department.

You’d rather I wasn’t your nurse any time soon; my family knows I don’t hand out much sensitivity to their plight. Maybe I should be a bit more accommodating when they need a kind word or hug of understanding. Nevertheless, we all have strengths and weaknesses and if we’re open, we will learn and grow in our character qualities that will, in turn, bless others around us.

Strong character qualities are needed to be successful in relationships, in our homes, our work and our communities. If we develop good character, we can see benefits in our lives such as improved self-esteem, self-respect and confidence as well as a sustaining force through difficult times. Others are attracted to us, allowing us to have influence over them. When we have good character traits, we also attract the trust and respect of others.

I can’t help but think about the unfailing and unchanging character qualities of Almighty God when I think about my own personal attributes. I am deeply thankful that He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He never changes. He never lies. He never goes back on His word or promises. He encompasses every good character quality there is. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”

As we launch out into the deep this year, we can take comfort that the One who created us will help us to develop strong character traits that will make for happier, healthier people who can be trusted and respected. We will rise to the top as we foster strong values and spend time in His Word and Presence , renewing our minds which will bring great change to our attitudes; the more time we spend with Him, the more like Him we will become. Have a great week, dear readers.

MR. ERIC CHARLES WILKINSON February 9th, 1941 – January 10th, 2019

Mr. Eric Charles Wilkinson was born February 9th, 1941 in Tuxford, Saskatchewan.

Eric was the oldest child born to John Priestley Wilkinson and Christina Jessie Wilkinson (nÊe: Gellan). He was predeceased by his parents, John and Christina Wilkinson; wife, Marlene Wilkinson (nÊe: Pilsner); and son, Randy Wilkinson. Eric’s passing now leaves behind: daughters, Rhonda Shaw (Sam) and Michelle Dumaine (John); daughter-inlaw, Deborah Wilkinson; brother, Lyle (Cheryl) Wilkinson; sister, Eileen Mayo; grandchildren: Melissa Chelsberg (Bryce), Lindsay Mahon (Eric), Mason Shaw (Kristen), Haley and Mia Dumaine, Shelby and Ashley Wilkinson. He enjoyed times with the great-grandchildren of Sawyer and Boston Chelsberg, along with Liam, Lachlan and Hendric Mahon. Eric was raised on the family farm near Marquis, SK, until he later moved into Regina, SK after meeting Marlene and started a family with the birth of Randy. Eric worked as a welder for numerous years before the calling of the family farm brought him back. The birth of Rhonda and Michelle followed soon. Eric was a passionate farmer with a love of the land and animals. He was always there to give a helping hand to neighbors and friends. Eric volunteered numerous hours at the Tuxford Rink between making and maintaining curling ice and helping with the numerous bonspiels. After retirement, Eric and Marlene enjoyed the winters in Mesa, Arizona where they played cards and had the occasional happy hour. Eric took great pride in his vehicles, whether it was his John Deere tractors or his GM truck. Eric will be missed by the people he leaves behind and the lives that he touched. Special thanks to the staff of Chez Nous for all the great care, support and lunch time meals. In keeping with Eric’s wishes, a Private Family Graveside Service will be held at a later date.

Potato King crown moving to Western Canada

By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express

AGRIMART

EXPRESS

Prince Edward Island is about to lose its crown as the

potato king of Canada to Alberta.

Alberta potato production grew to 2.23 billion pounds in 2018, nearly tied with P.E.I. According to Statistics Canada, since 1998 PEI potato production has decreased 18 per cent while Al-

berta production has increased by 132 per cent.

The difference in production will only grow once Cavendish Farms of P.E.I. opens its $350 million frozen potato processing plant in Lethbridge, Alberta. The plant will require potatoes from 30,000 acres of irrigation annually.

Canada has about 353,000 acres planted in potato crops with 90,000 in P.E.I., 67,000 in Manitoba and 54,000 in Alberta.

Saskatchewan has about 6,000 acres, a far cry from

12,000 in the late 1990s when the Saskatchewan government was promoting potato crops to attract a french fry plant.

That plan went sour when the one potato variety used in Saskatchewan turned black when cooked as french fries.

Ron Walter can be reached at ronjoy@sasktel.net

Light hopper population predicted AGRIMART

EXPRESS

The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation annual grasshopper forecast should be welcome news for most farmers. Grasshop-

brushes designed and printed by Moose Jaw Express

per populations are expected to be light to non-existent across the province with the exception of five RMs in the Estevan area and two RMs near the Alberta border at Leader. These will be very light so only lentil crops are in danger.
