When Megan Nash released “Seeker”, national recognition was the farthest thing from her focus.

The Juno Award nominations were announced last Tuesday, but Nash was far from hitting refresh on her computer. When her album “Seeker” was nominated for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year, she was caught completely off guard when the congratulations started to come in.

“It came as a complete shock,” Nash said.

“I got a message from somebody that I played a show with years ago and they said congrats on being Juno nominated and I thought ‘what are you talking about?’”

The Juno Awards -- which honour the best in Canadian music -- will be held on March 16 & 17 in London, Ont. Nash is two-time Western Canadian Music Award nominee and is honoured to be recognized nationally.

“It’s a feather in the cap of course, but it can be a really valuable thing in an independent artists career. Anything like that, that you can put on the résumé is really good,” said Nash who completed her third German tour in December and is featured in a new SaskTel commercial.

Nash is joined by Saskatoon’s The Deep Dark Woods for “Yarrow” in the Contemporary Roots Album of the Year category.

The other nominees are AHI for “In Our Time”; Kaia Kater for “Grenades” and Donovan Woods for “Both Ways”.

“I am keeping great company in this category. I really am,” Nash said. “Kaia Kater is an artist who is a labelmate of mine.

She’s also on Acronym Records. It’s really cool that we’re both up for that award.

“With the Deep Dark Woods, I’ve been a fan of theirs for over a decade. I just really love what they do. I think it’s really neat that we’re in the same category. Especially since we both have ties to Mortlach -- that’s pretty cool.”

Nash grew up on a farm between Parkbeg and Mortlach and went to school in Mortlach, while The Deep Dark Woods frontman Ryan Boldt also lived in Mortlach for

a time.

They weren’t the only Saskatchewan artists who received a Juno nomination. Jess Moskaluke (Country Album of the Year for “A Small Town Christmas”) and The Sheepdogs (Group of the Year and Rock Album of the Year for “Changing Colours”) were also nominated.

“Seeker” is Nash’s second full-length album and this time around she was joined

by Regina band Bears in Hazenmore who backs her frequently for her live shows.

“Collaborating with Bears in Hazenmore felt like an organic, natural progression because I had become friends with them and

PIGS: Canada’s Pink Floyd featuring a complete performance of DARK SIDE OF THE MOON and many other classic Pink Floyd songs

we were performing songs live together, so to actually record felt like a natural thing to do,” Nash said. “They love texture; they added a lot and took it into a different place sonically than I normal do being a solo artist.

“I think of each song as its own being and try to think of what will make that song what I think it should be and sometimes that’s full band and sometimes that’s stripped down.”

Nash opened for Serena Ryder during Juno Fest when she played the Mae Wilson Theatre in 2013 in the lead-up to the awards in Regina.

Your Saskatchewan Party provincial government is standing up for Saskatchewan. On February 13th and 14th, the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal will hear our government’s arguments that the Trudeau government’s plan to impose a carbon tax on our province is unconstitutional.

Not only would a federal carbon tax do nothing to reduce global emissions, it would negatively impact the personal finances of individuals and families, and harm our economy.

Analysis from the University of Regina’s Institute for Energy, Environment and Sustainable Communities estimated the federal carbon tax would hurt Saskatchewan’s economy by almost $16 billion, with little effect on actually reducing emissions.

Our government’s Prairie Resilience plan is a made-in-Saskatchewan climate change strategy focused on resilience and reducing emissions without a harmful carbon tax. First introduced in December 2017, the plan has in part been accepted by the federal government. Despite this, they still insist on imposing their harmful carbon tax on Saskatchewan people.

Our government is confident in our constitutional challenge to protect the people and the economy of Saskatchewan.

In August of 2018, the government developed new output-based performance standards that will apply to more than 40 Saskatchewan industrial facilities. Saskatchewan’s performance standards will increase over an established schedule from 2019 to 2030, cumulatively reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 5.3 million tonnes.

Last October, Bill 132, The Management and Reduction of Greenhouse Gases Amendment Act, was introduced in the Legislature and later passed. This Bill provides the regulatory framework for performance standards to reduce industrial greenhouse gas emissions, and provides a number of compliance options like a provincial technology fund, as well as best performance credits and offset credits. The amendments require large emitters to register with the province. Stakeholders, including industry and associations, provided input into the regulatory framework and indicated support for the amendments throughout consultations this past year.

Two weeks ago, the Saskatchewan Government released regulations with the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from venting and flaring in the province’s upstream oil and gas sector by 4.5 million tonnes per year by 2025. The regulations, part of the province’s Methane Action Plan, signal a comprehensive, results-based approach and include annual penalties for non-compliance.

SaskPower is also doing their part and has committed to reducing CO2 emissions by 40% from 2005 levels by 2030. To achieve this target SaskPower plans to add more renewable generation in the coming years.

In addition to adding more renewables to the power generation mix, residents of Moose Jaw became aware that SaskPower has determined that the Moose Jaw South East Industrial Park is their preferred site to build a new 350 MW gas plant. Working with the City of Moose Jaw to secure a land option is the first of many steps to see this project through completion. The power station is important to ensure the residents of Saskatchewan have a reliable source of power that meets our growing needs as a province, aids in reliability of service and also boosts economic development in the process. The new power station will generate enough power for a city the size of Saskatoon.

Rather than carbon taxes that go to government general revenue, it’s time that governments across Canada and around the world started to focus on innovation. A focus on developing technology that can be used around the world to reduce emissions is the logical response if we actually want to solve the global problem.

Call for a review to improve the Federal Livestock Tax Deferral program Although the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS) was pleased AGRIMART with the expanded coverage for the Federal EXPRESS Livestock Tax Deferral recently announced, they are calling for a review to improve the program for future years. “Livestock producers across Saskatchewan faced serious impacts from drought in 2018,� said Todd Lewis, APAS President. “It was very clear to everyone in the industry by late August that feed and water shortages were going to have an impact on the entire province.�

Lewis added that a review of the technology and area boundaries used to determine the eligibility for the program is necessary. “A final designation at the end of January, after Todd Lewis, APAS the end of the tax year, does not allow producers to make informed business decisions,�

President he said.

APAS had raised concerns about the list of areas designated, responding with a call for the entire province to be eligible. As of now, 75% of Saskatchewan RMs have been designated as eligible. Lewis also noted that APAS will be working with their colleagues at the Canadian Federation of Agriculture to advocate for changes to the program.

Apparently, size matters when it comes to moose.

‘Our moose is bigger than your moose’ is something Mayor Tolmie hopes to ring out from the rooftop of City Hall sometime in the not too distant future.

The fight to regain the title for World’s tallest moose is full-on for bragging Joan Ritchie EDITOR rights, as Moose Jaw and Norway are battling it out.

It seems to be a matter of pride for this community. Even though our moose isn’t as glamourous as Storelgen, it has welcomed people to Moose Jaw since it was erected in 1984, holding its post proudly until it was dethroned as the world’s largest in 2015. As of late, he still stands stately but with a somewhat sadder countenance. He could use a new rack; when you look at him, his rack is far too small for a moose that big, anyway.

I think its rather funny that some people believe that the moose itself is a draw for tourists to visit Moose Jaw. Up to now, it hasn’t been but that may have all changed with all the international fame that Mac has received over the last few weeks. He is a celebrity now and not just any old moose! His fame has garnered attention from even Steven Colbert who mockingly called Mac the Moose a “paper maché dog from a closed amusement park”. Now everyone knows about Moose Jaw! Even the Vice-Mayor of Stor-Elvdal, where Storelgen lives, is ready to hop on a plane to come over to see what they are up against and try and talk Moose Jaw into reconciling so that each moose can share in the glory of being the biggest…

Don’t make a “moose-take!” Compromise, I say.

A Letter to the Editor in this week’s edition says that it would be a great launch-pad for twinning these two cities, Moose Jaw and Stor-Elvdal, and instead of working towards world dominance, there would be no bloodshed and world peace would prevail. A slight exaggeration to be sure, but taken as a tonguein-cheek comment for emphasis, rightly said.

We are a friendly people here in Moose Jaw and I think that we can use this situation to our advantage for the benefit of our community, without the loss of bloodshed or our notorious pride!

Vice Mayor Linda Otnes Henriksen and The Mayor of Stor-Elvdal, Terje Hoffstad (Ap), are afraid that the village will now lose its hard-won status as a world record holder. Photo compliments of Øistein Norum Monsen/Dagbladet.

Are Peace Negotiations in the Works?

Joan Ritchie

Moose Jaw and Stor-Elvdal Municipality in Norway are continuing in their battle to hold the world record for the world’s tallest moose.

The situation seems to have escalated as Stor-Elvdal Vice-Mayor Linda Otnes Henriksen is said to be ready at a moment’s notice to travel to Moose Jaw to initiate peace negotiations with Moose Jaw Mayor Fraser Tolmie.

“We have contacted Mayor Frasier Tolmie in Moose Jaw to look more closely at the possibility of initiating a dialogue about building the moose the same height, so that

There would be no bloodshed, no nasty snowball fights; there would be compromise!

we can share having the world record,” says Otnes Henriksen.

This brings the term ‘peace talks’ to a whole new pride level, as both entities are passionate in the fight for the title.

For 31 years, Mac held the title until he was dethroned in 2015 by the shimmering silver moose Storelgen in Norway. There is some doubt that even if there is dialogue, there would be reconciliation.

Moose Jaw Mayor Tolmie says Moose Jaw has a plan for Mac the Moose to again take his rightful place as the world’s tallest moose.

According to Tolmie, Mac the Moose is expected to get new antlers. Through a generous donation from Moose Head Brewery this past week, Mac the Moose received $25,000 toward their fundraising goal, with a total of approximately $37,000 raised to the end of January.

Norway, on the other hand, would need a huge sum of money to build a proposed gold moose. “It is hard us for to cough up NOK 15 million to build the gold moose as artists Linda Bakke has proposed,” says Hoffstad.

The window for open dialogue towards a truce seems to be running out as Moose Jaw forges ahead to antler-up towards the goal to be the world’s tallest moose.

A letter in my mailbox asserts that Canada’s Conservatives are fighting for our energy sector. It lists pipelines that have been “killed” or “stalled”. MP Hoback asks, “Am I on the right track by fighting for Canadian energy workers?” There seems to be an assumption that fossil fuel is the energy sector.

What would happen if all parties fought to expand the clean energy sector? If they insisted the tax money spent to support pipelines and fossil fuels be redirected to renewables? It could be win-win-win and bonus. Fossil fuel workers would be able to transfer

skills and live where they choose, not where the jobs are. Leaving the oil in the soil reduces greenhouse gas emissions mitigating climate change. Clean energy honours reconciliation. The bonus is more taxpayers could become producers reducing their energy bill.

If we are going to fight for anything, let’s make it for a just transition to renewables. Ask your federal candidates for their energy transition strategy and how it will avoid costly stranded assets like pipelines.

Mac the Moose receives hefty $25,000 donation from Moosehead Breweries in campaign to regain title for ‘World’s Tallest Moose’ Sasha-Gay Lobban

As Mac the Moose continues to make headlines around the world, one Canadian company has stepped up in a major way to help Mac regain his title of the “World’s Tallest Moose.”

Moosehead Breweries has donated $25,000 to Tourism Moose Jaw to fuel the bid to make Mac the Moose the World’s Tallest Moose, after being dethroned by Norwegian counterpart the Storelgen, meaning “the Big Elk,” that stands just over 32 feet tall (10 meters).

Moosehead made the announcement at a press conference held at the Tourism Center on Wednesday, January 30.

Trevor Grant, VP Marketing and Sales at Moosehead Breweries, says it was only fitting for the company to support this initiative. “I’m extremely excited to be in Moose Jaw to make this announcement. When all of us at Moosehead heard about the challenges that Mac was facing, it felt like an absolute no-brainer for us. We had to get involved. The moose itself is an icon of our brand and it has been since 1933 when we produced our first Moosehead brand. Moosehead is truly a Canadian brewer. It is Canada’s oldest independent brewery, family owned and operated since 1867, so we’re certainly not new to any challenges, and we’re very excited to partner with this initiative.”

Grant says even though Mac the Moose resides in Moose Jaw, he is a Canadian gem that they are willing to fully support, and this donation will go a long way. “We’ve never been one to back

down from a fight and we recognize that same resilience and fighting spirit in Mac the Moose. That’s why we couldn’t be more pleased to be here today to lend our support to the City of Moose Jaw and Tourism Moose Jaw in the form of this $25,000 donation. This will go a long way to make sure that Mac regains his title as the World’s Tallest Moose. It is really not a size issue, as the Mayor has said, but a pride issue.

Although he resides in Moose Jaw, the rest of Canada proudly supports Mac and what he stands for. We want to see him return to his former glory.”

Mayor Fraser Tolmie proudly welcomed this donation, as Mac the Moose continues to draw national and international attention to the city. “We want

to thank Moosehead for answering this call to action as a true Canadian.

We thank you for your support in this initiative. We are blown away by this remarkable donation. We’ve said all along that Mac the Moose is not just a Moose Jaw icon but a national one.

Moosehead’s contribution proves that

we have an entire country behind our efforts to see Mac reclaim his title as “World’s Tallest Moose” from our Norwegian counterparts.”

Tourism Moose Jaw Director, Jacki L’Heureux-Mason echoed similar sentiments. She said Moosehead’s donation is the biggest single donation received so far. “We are excited about the attention we’ve been able to enjoy with Mac. We’ve always known that he was special to us, but we want to thank everyone from across the country and around the world for giving him all this love. Mac the Moose is 35 years old this year, so the timing on this couldn’t have been better. We thank Moosehead for their donation to this initiative. What they did for us with this donation is something we could not have done on our own because this is a non-profit organization.

This is the biggest single donation that we’ve received for this fund and this will allow us to do what we need to, in order to put Mac back on top.”

Winter Blues are Real!

After we survive Christmas through it’s up and downs, it’s stresses and excitement, we are faced with January. Cold weather, the short number of hours of daylight and then our charge cards start rolling in. January and the harsh winter months following can be difficult for our mental health.

With all of this happening, we decide to challenge ourselves even more by making a promise to ourselves with our New Years resolution. We are going to do amazing things such as: loose weight, start to exercise, clean up the basement, redecorate, save money, and so on, when in reality, it is a time in which our energy and ability to be motivated is at our annual low.

Just getting our Christmas decorations down seems like an insurmountable challenge.

Winter months are a time for self care.

Do things that rejuvenate you. What are the things in your life that rejuvenates you? Don’t be tempted to make a promise to yourself that is beyond basic. When I’m talking about basic I

mean things like: listen to music you enjoy, take a nap, call a friend and so on. The one thing I always do is make my bed in the morning so that when I go to bed at night and when looking back at what I accomplished that day I can always say, ‘I made my bed. Tomorrow is a new day.’

My doctor tells me that we need to be taking at least 2000 units of Vitamin D everyday for 10 months of the year.

I forgot to ask him which 2 months I didn’t need it. It is important to our mental health especially in the winter when there are fewer days of sunshine.

Be kind and gentle with yourself and the people around you. If you find that yourself or someone you care about is struggling don’t ignore it. If it is someone you care about, suggest doing something you both may enjoy, or reach out for help.

Spring will come as it does every year, and we will be ready for it.

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS Traditions with Haggis and Christmas cake Traditions are hard to shake, in many forms of our lifestyles. Traditions are familiar and comforting, and sometimes moving out of those traditional familiarities is just too much to handle.

And so as inspirational speakers would say, we continue doing what we’ve always done, never being surprised at the resulting outcomes.

Such is the case with fruit cake and haggis, two traditional items normally associated with a certain season and reason.

I have seldom put them in a common thought and only do Joyce Walter so now to report on a trend that is sweeping some parts of For Moose Jaw Express the world.

At Christmas time I pondered why such festive cakes are only eaten in December, when those of us who love them would eat them at other times of the year, whenever they are available.

If prepared in February, they could be Valentine’s Cakes; at Easter, how about Happy Bunny Cakes or Resurrection Cakes; for July 1 we might name them Canada Day Celebration Cakes, filled with an extra number of red cherries. Then there’s Thanksgiving tributes in October, Remembrance Cakes in November in memory of cakes sent to soldiers overseas, and then that brings us right back to December and Christmas cakes.

By tradition, Haggis has always been associated with the Scottish celebration of Robbie Burns Night, where it is addressed and toasted and served with a flourish.

With no disrespect to my Scottish friends or lovers of Haggis, I have to admit that I have never gained a favourable taste for the dish, perhaps because I have only been exposed to it occasionally in late January, thus not often enough to have it grow on me as something I’d enjoy eating.

Then a story appeared in a national newspaper that explained that Haggis is no longer just enjoyed for the birthday of Robbie Burns. It is eaten like gangbusters at other times of the year now and has come out of the darkness of the sheep’s stomach to appear in a variety of forms and in dishes that would be surprisingly unexpected, if one needs a descriptive slogan.

Haggis containing sheep lung had been banned from Canada and the United States since 1971, fearing the spread of tuberculosis. The ban was lifted in 2017 upon a variety without lungs being made available.

Now companies in Scotland are looking for space in major Canadian supermarkets and a vegetarian blend is being offered to the United States.

With this successful marketing, Haggis has become an ingredient in such items as sausage, lasagna, bagels, pies, doughnuts and even poutine. In a recent Haggis competition as part of 2019 being The Year of the Haggis, the winning entry was a Haggis cupcake made with potatoes and turnips. Yum. I’m told I might be able to incorporate Haggis into one of my Christmas cake recipes to meld two traditions into an interesting way to celebrate two occasions in one fell swoop.

I will be on the lookout for such a recipe and for a package of Scottish Haggis that hasn’t been cooked in a stomach. I’m thinking outside that proverbial box.

City Hall bell won’t sound yet, but its safety will be investigated Matthew Gourlie The City’s Heritage Advisory Committee came to City Council last Monday, January 28th, hoping to refurbish the City Hall bell that hasn’t sounded in the clock tower since the 1960s.

While no funding was given for that project, the City will at least be looking at the state of the aging bell to make sure it doesn’t fall and come crashing through the building.

The City Hall bell is located in the clock tower and has not been functional for decades. Furthermore, the metal bolts that keep it in place are rusted. Accessing the bell is only done through a small, narrow entrance in the tower and therefore the state of the bell remained a mystery until the Heritage Advisory Committee realized that the bolts -- which are the same age but of a different metal than the bell itself -- were badly rusted.

The Heritage Advisory Committee had requested that they transfer $10,000 from their reserve fund to get the clapper on the bell operational.

“We are prepared to pay for the refurbishment of the bell, but we would like to have the City look into the replacement of the bolts themselves,” said Scott Hellings, chair of the Heritage Advisory Committee.

Once the matter was brought to the attention of council, City Manager Jim Puffalt agreed with council that it was

a health and safety issue and an obligation of the City to ensure the bell was structurally sound. The possible safety issue was unanimously referred to the Parks & Rec. department and it was recommended that the City get an expert to investigate the state of the bolts.

The Heritage Advisory Committee had sought out a quote to determine the cost of getting the bell operational, expecting the reserve fund would cover it.

“Initially, the committee was prepared to pay for all of this using the Heritage reserve fund,” Hellings said. “I know that fund was initially set up for the Natatorium, but unfortunately we don’t have a plan for the Natatorium right now and those funds realistically wouldn’t go very far anyway.”

Coun. Dawn Luhning was opposed to re-allocating the $10,000 from the reserve fund from the Natatorium to the bell.

“Even though we don’t have plans for the Natatorium now, that was ear-marked for that project and now, for whatever reason, it’s been recommended by this committee that it be given to the restoration of this bell. I have some concerns with moving the money around,” Luhning said.

The motion to allocate the funds for the bell didn’t get a seconder and died on the floor.

The City Hall bell is located in the clock tower.

Goat farming opportunities exist in Saskatchewan

By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express

AGRIMART

EXPRESS

Back in the late 1990s, Rob Schill started raising goats on his grandfather’s farm.

Troubles keeping them on the property led to the sale of the herd.

Three years ago, Schill, now president of the Saskatchewan Goat Breeder’s Association, got back into goats.

“I tell everyone to get your infrastructure first then your goats,” he said in an interview during a workshop at Johnstone Auction Mart. “If water can get through goats can.”

While page wire fences will hold the exploring ruminants he finds a well-grounded electric fence most effective.

Difficulty keeping goats fenced causes a lot of people to sell out, he said.

The goat industry presents lots of opportunity for meat and dairy in Saskatchewan, says the Balcarres farmer.

A growing ethnic population consumes

Rob Schill goat meat. “Eighty per cent of the world eats goat meat — just not in Saskatchewan.

“Goat meat is healthier than other red meat. It’s lower in cholesterol. It’s lower in fat. It’s higher in protein.”

Most goats are sold and slaughtered on the farm. Most are sold at 80 pounds live weight yielding about 40 pounds of lean meat.

JE Ranch at Holdfast has entered the

non-ethnic meat market selling goat jerky and meat at farmers’ markets.

The association needs to work with regulatory agencies like Sask. Health on developing a goat milk dairy industry, he said., The market for goat milk from lactose intolerant individuals is almost unlimited.

Goat producers are limited to 1,000 litres a week which they must sell themselves.

Over that, the milk must be shipped to a processing plant. Nearest processing plants are in Alberta and Manitoba.

About 400 goat farmers with 10,000 animals were counted in the 2016 agriculture census, but Schill says that number dropped last year when drought caused a sell-off of breeding stock.

Prices declined but have recovered to $2 a pound live weight, and he expects $2.50

by March.

“At $2 a pound, you can make money. At

$1.50 you can’t.”

The high rate of twins and triplets among goats helps profitability. “If you don’t get twins you cull. I always say the first kid pays the expenses. The second is your profit.”

Goats need specific feed rations. “You can’t feed them like cattle or they die.”

Goat farmers across the province range from those with two or three pets to fulltime farms with 750 head.

Schill says the Goat Breeders’ Association has about 60 members. Membership offers supplier discounts, free ads on the website and newsletter, and workshop discounts.

Most important though is a unified voice for the industry to government and industry. The Association was involved in talks developing the new Canadian Agricultural Partnership.

New food guide not that worrisome to beef producers

By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express

AGRIMART

EXPRESS The CEO of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association doesn’t have a big beef about the demotion of beef in the new Canada Food Guide.

Plant-based proteins are rated ahead of beef protein and the guide suggests eating beef is more harmful to the environment.

Ryder Lee told a livestock producer workshop at Johnstone Auction Mart that most people will continue eating the way they have for years.

A CTV Regina online poll of 1,200 people backs up his belief. Seventy-one per cent said they don’t use the Canada Food Guide. “What I see when I look at the pictures in the food guide is a plate we’ve been talking about for a long time – more fruits and vegetables, half of your plate, one-quarter part proteins and grains for the rest,� he said.

Changes in eating habits recommended by the guide might help with healthier lifestyles, he said “The way the guide talks about protein balancing and eating with your family, eating with your friends, taking time to prepare a meal — we benefit from

more people taking time to prepare a meal. The products we bring to market lose a little bit in the microwave preparation.�

Besides, beef “goes well� with vegetables. “If you’re only eating 2,000 calories a day, they had better be good ones.

You’d better get the protein in you because we’re losing muscle mass and bone density in our population in a terrible way. “I think many people don’t get enough protein. “Chicken, pork, eggs and especially dairy have a lot more concern. There’s no glass of milk beside that plate anymore.�

The beef industry isn’t happy about some of the guide’s language around beef and the comments about the environment instead of about nutrition.

The industry has some messages for government on guide comments about beef and the environment, as well as for consumers. “You will see industry messages to give permission to consumers to enjoy beef as much as they’d like. We’ve got a great story to tell.�

Proposal to name bridge after the Lakota people defeated Matthew Gourlie

A motion to name a bridge in Wakamow Park in honour of the Lakota people failed to pass at City Council Monday, but the idea to name the bridge may still have legs.

The city’s Heritage Advisory Committee recommended that the Seventh Avenue S.W. bridge be named the “Lakota Bridge” in honour of the First Nation that once lived in the area.

“It is the only bridge in that part of the city that does not have a name,” said Scott Hellings, chair of the Heritage Advisory Committee. “All of the other bridges are named after the Aboriginal peoples who inhabited the area, such as the Blackfoot Bridge, the Saulteaux Bridge, etc. Also, there is currently no bridge named after the Lakota people.

“I am not aware of an official bridge-naming policy within the city, but I certainly welcome any feedback and discussion to get the ball rolling.”

While City administration didn’t believe there was a policy regarding naming bridges, there are involved processes to name or rename almost everything else and Coun.

Dawn Luhning felt council needed more background and information before considering naming a bridge.

“I am aware that there are some parks in the city that have requested that they be renamed and it’s quite a process to go through and I believe that the same type of process should happen for this,” Luhning said. “I don’t believe that we should just... willy-nilly name a bridge” While the bridge is used extensively as a pedestrian bridge in the summer months, its road has seen better days. Coun. Heather Eby was concerned that naming it the Lakota Bridge could be seen as dishonouring the Lakota people.

“That is a defunct bridge and I know it’s become unofficially a pedestrian bridge, but it doesn’t look so great and

there’s some pretty awful graffiti on it during most of the summer,” Eby said. “I was wondering if that is an honour to put the Lakota name on a bridge that is not functional for what it was meant to be.”

Coun. Crystal Froese, the councillor who sits on the six-person Heritage Advisory Committee, argued that the bridge is still well-used and the naming would be appropriate and fit with the naming of the other bridges in the Wakamow area.

“The Lakota people haven’t really been recognized even though they have a very significant history in that park and in and around that area,” said Froese, who noted that other First Nations throughout the whole park have had bridges named after them.

The Heritage Advisory Committee meets every month and will discuss if they proceed with the naming project at their next meeting.

Verified beef offers premium and keeps consumer trust in beef brand

By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express

A program to build EXPRESS consumer trust and offer beef producers a premium was outlined

by Colby Elford, livestock and feed specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture at a livestock workshop near Moose Jaw. “Verified beef production is of benefit to you and the industry,� said Elford. “Verified beef is an avenue to certify sustainable beef here in Saskatchewan, in Canada nation-wide.�

Twenty to 50 years ago, people didn’t care how cattle was raised and “just wanted to buy food and they trusted that it was safe.�

AGRIMART

Cattle

That is no longer the case. “They have questions and want to know what goes into their food.�

Verified beef production lets consumers know the answers and can drive government regulation and policy. “Verified beef production provides an answer to those questions; it’s transparent and is something you can point to, to say to consumers, government and regulators that we are already doing the right thing. We’re raising beef sustainably and meeting guidelines set by the Canadian Round Table for Sustainable Beef.�

The producer/industry nationwide program involves “mostly what you are probably already doing.�

The biggest change is keeping track of the operation with records, he said.

The program “is a way for you to point and say we’ve been audited by a third party and I can guarantee you that the beef that comes from our operation is certified sustainable.�

Not enough certified sustainable beef is produced in Canada to meet the demand by McDonalds, Loblaw, and Cara Foods, so Cargill is in the second year of a three-year pilot program offering credits to producers.

Last year, cheques to participating producers averaged $17.58 per head, with a range from $10 to $20.

Only 140 of 7,300 beef producers in Saskatchewan have paid $50, taken the online course and paid $325 net for the audit. “We’ve already got a wonderful brand for Canadian beef and I think this just adds clout to it.�

For an animal to qualify, it must be raised on a verified beef farm, be fed by a verified beef feeder and pro-

Colby Elford

cessed by a verified beef packer.

Most Saskatchewan feedlots are in the program. Cargill at High River, Alberta is the only certified packer.

Verified beef producers must keep records on withdrawal from drugs before shipping, meet the beef code of practice care and requirements, work with a veterinarian and have plans on what to do in case of disease emergency, manure and bed, stock, wildlife habitat and beneficial soil and water health practices “It’s not terribly onerous,� Elford said.

“Blue Nose� gold miner shows great prospects for long term Nova Scotia gold mine developer Atlantic Gold Corporation was a top five favourite stock for 2018, returning a cool 18.7 per cent over a losing year.

But the open pit miner, digging in turf mined since the early 1800s, was not selected as a favourite stock for a second year.

When the New Year dawned, Atlantic Gold was a solid producer with a good future but some unknowns added risk

even though the company has a 45-kilometre stretch of gold-bearing rock to explore and develop.

The company embarked on mine development three years ago with two deposits out of five explored and 800,000 ounces of proven and probable low grade reserves.

For the ramp up from 80,000 ounces a year to 110,000 ounces in the first phase those reserves gave Atlantic Gold six

good years before production fell off.

Late last year, the company announced another ramp up to 200,000 ounces in 2020 – considerably reducing mine life in years unless more reserves were found and proved.

That made, Atlantic Gold too risky for inclusion as a favourite stock for 2019.

Since then, the company has announced approximately 1.5 million proven and probable ounces of gold including a pair of phase two pits.

Mine production plans have been expanded with 96,000 ounces this year, 94,000 in 2020, jumping to,171,000 ounces by 2021 and exceeding 200,000 for the next four years.

By extending the mine life and building production at the same low cost per ounce, Atlantic Gold has moved from a so-so investment to a better class – IF all goes well. Plenty can go wrong in mine development from unexpectedly low grades to sudden lower gold prices.

The second phase will cost $260 million to build. The company has repaid $45 million of $100 million debt in one year.

Company materials hint at a 13-year mine life as more deposits in the historic mining region will be explored. In late January the company announced a new deposit and a deeper extension of a known deposit.

The company will announce updated reserve estimates in the next few months.

The area — known as the Moose River Consolidated Project — could be producing gold for a long time. Directors and management own 35 per cent of the shares, with mining financier Eric Sprott holding 10 per cent while institutional investors held 35 per cent at year end.

The company has announced a $9 million investment for 39 per cent of penny miner Velocity Minerals. Velocity has a belt of property in Bulgaria with gold deposits.

Velocity has a 70 per cent interest in the Ruzino deposit which, according to a preliminary economic assessment, has potential for a low grade open pit mine in geology similar to Atlantic’s Nova Scotia properties and with low cost of production.

Currently priced at $1.78, Atlantic Gold could become a darling long-term gold stock.

State of the City Address Mayor Fraser Tolmie New Year’s Address City Council – January 14, 2019

On January 14th, 2019 at a City Council Meeting, Mayor Fraser Tolmie laid out his State of the City Address.

Many of you may have heard only snippets of it so here it is in its full content.

Mayor Fraser Tolmie Persevering in challenging times requires grit and determination.

Persevering takes courage and heart.

Persevering is required to see things through, to weather the storms of the day and achieve the goals set before us.

The challenges of this city cannot be overcome without clear goals, a strong plan and a willingness to work together.

2018 was a year of bringing people and organizations together to make Moose Jaw a better community!

The challenges we faced were numerous.

Those challenges were not ignored but were faced head on.

The City led the conversations in uniting people and organizations.

Many of our citizens were invited to participate in strategic planning for our community. The future success of this plan started with a willingness to collaborate between different organizations in our city. A community strategic plan was discussed and put in place. The planning process opened doors between different organizations in our community and built a strong foundation for future cooperation. This cooperation builds on individual organization’s strengths to benefit the community as a whole.

The Chamber of Commerce, Tourism Moose Jaw, the Downtown Business Group and the Destination Marketing Fund were, and are, key partners with the City of Moose Jaw. Using reverse psychology, Doug Griffiths spoke to these organizations. He noted that there are 13 ways to kill a community, but doing the opposite helps grow and strengthen a community. The success of this unity was expanded as we had honest talks about our past and how do we

capture our city’s unique stories so that we can expand and attract more tourism and more business to provide more jobs and grow our tax base. This was all done collaboratively!

The organizations that partnered with the City also saw success.

The Chamber of Commerce saw 465 people attend their Moose Jaw Business Excellence Awards, the highest attendance numbers for this event to date. It should be noted that the Moose Jaw Chamber of Commerce has the highest number of business memberships per-capita in Saskatchewan.

The surrounding economic climate has posed its challenges, but the businesses of our community continue to persevere by investing in the future and growing.

Parrish and Heimbecker has invested over $5 million in upgrades to their local plant.

Gibson’s Energy is investing $20 to $25 million in their local plant to improve efficiencies that will result in an increased capacity of 19% in production.

Doepker Industries has rehired over 110 employees and are almost back to full capacity, and CP Rail has hired 90 new employees as of November.

The City is doing its part by creating new partnerships to prepare for new opportunities in the future.

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed between Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Canadian Aviation Electronics (CAE) and the City of Moose Jaw. This memorandum will see a new training program starting this year at our own municipal airport, the first of its kind in Saskatchewan that will have unmanned aerial systems being used in courses to help create innovations in farming, pipelines and security.

This is just the beginning that will lead to other innovations for future applications in this area.

Having a Council and Administration working together to solve problems benefits all citizens in our community.

Jim Puffalt, our new City Manager, is working hard, as is Council, to build a better working relationship and solve problems together.

Mr. Puffalt’s first week saw the City move in to solve the High Street issue that affected our local community.

The City recognizes the important role it plays in creating an environment for economic growth in helping businesses.

Key to our economic growth is having an Economic Development Officer pursuing

and following-up on potential economic opportunities. This has helped by eliminating red tape and hold-ups for businesses wanting to seek opportunity in our city.

Internal silos and having all the relevant people in the room to collaborate on projects such as economic development when businesses have questions, has proved to cut down wait times and get things moving.

The City of Moose Jaw ended 2018 and enters 2019 on a high note!

The announcement of SaskPower’s $700 million project in our industrial park was a group effort that will pay dividends for our community for many years to come.

Foundation stones have been laid to prepare this city for 2019 and coming years.

2019 will see the return of the Saskatchewan Airshow at 15 Wing. Moose Jaw will not only benefit from the return of the Airshow but have a role as host city to ensure people are made to feel welcome.

Steps are being made to attract more concerts and events to Mosaic Place.

Success has already been achieved with the announcement of the 2020 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, which will bring more people to our city.

We must take pride in who we are and what we have to offer.

The City will continue to look to beautify our community whether it’s local volunteers doing spring clean-up programs or continued infrastructure repair through our cast iron replacement project and road rehabilitation.

Exciting things do happen here in the

City of Moose Jaw! This spring will see the introduction of a city-wide pass that will allow residents in more than one City-owned facility.

New programs will be introduced to continue to improve customer service at City Hall.

Modernization continues to improve efficiencies which ensure better reliability and helps prepare the people of Moose Jaw for the future.

Finally, we cannot ignore that the community of Moose Jaw has a heart. There are those who have shown their heart for our community. Recently, Jenna Meili, Madison DeCorby, Aimee Dumlao and Allison Grajczyk-Jelinski showed their hearts for those less fortunate and raised $8,000 for Riverside Mission by holding a celebrity volleyball tournament.

The business and local partner Mosaic started 2019 off by announcing $2.5 million that is being donated over three years to four local charities in Moose Jaw, Saskatoon and Regina.

This generous donation includes Riverside Mission, the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank, Wakamow Mosaic Community Gardens and Hunger in Moose Jaw. 2019 will be a year to build on the strong foundations of the previous year’s hard work and to continue the forward momentum.

The people of this city must continue to work collaboratively, to persevere together so that we can achieve the goals set before us and never

Moose Jaw Genealogy Society helps locals understand more about DNA Sasha-Gay Lobban

Educator, Logan Petlak makes an engaging presentation about DNA.

the next. “In general, I’d like people to understand how simple and yet complex a molecule DNA is. It acts as a means to bring us together as humans as a whole, rather than focusing on the differences between us.”

He says more resources are now available that can help people understand DNA in simpler terms than what existed prior. “I think the resources available now are much more where people can tap into a deeper understanding of DNA. There is a lot more available than when I started teaching some six years ago,” he noted. “The main thing I want people to understand is that molecule DNA is something incredibly complex that we’re continuing to understand, that it is a connecting component that helps brings us together as people, as well as to nature.”

Marge Cleave, president of the Moose Jaw Genealogy Society, says genealogy is fast becoming popular as people’s interests continue to peak. “Because a lot

of people are interested in DNA now, especially with genealogy, they want to research their DNA to find matches.

There’s a lot of advertising now that also makes this possible and we find that many people are becoming more interested. People who do explore their DNAs want to also understand how to read them, so we thought it was important to bring this kind of information to the community to help people better understand and provide answers to questions they might have.”

She says the presentation also provided a basic understanding to get people started, should they decide to delve more into genealogy. “There is so much more out there to understand DNA, but this was just a presentation to facilitate more of that understanding that breaks it down in terms that people can understand, so they are able to ask questions.

So, just in case someone wants to ex-

plore their DNA, this provides a basic understanding for them.”

Cleave noted that becoming a member of the local or provincial Genealogy Society will also provide deeper understanding and unlimited access to more information in relation to DNA. “The provincial Genealogical Society— (Saskatchewan Genealogical Society, SGS), when you belong to this organization, part of your membership enables you to access webinars on DNA, for which access is free. This will allow members to have more information to access for a better understanding.”

If you’re interested in becoming a member of the Moose Jaw Genealogy Society, you can contact the club at 306-799-2004 or visit their website at http://moosejawgenealogy.com. The club meets on the third Tuesday of each month except for July, August and December.

CORNER What’s The Big Fuss?

DOWN ON THE

As people become more curious about their ancestry, the Moose Jaw Genealogy Society wants to provide as much information as possible so that individuals can foster a better understanding of their backgrounds and what this could mean for them and their families.

As part of that, the Genealogy Society held a presentation at their meeting in January, with the purpose of helping people understand more about DNA. Local educator, Logan Petlak was the guest speaker.

Petlak, a teacher of Biology at Central Collegiate, provided a basic understanding of DNA from a scientific perspective, using different objects to demonstrate the wealth of information. Petlak, who was excited to bring this information to the community, says he is happy that the conversation around DNA and its understanding is growing.

“I was really excited to make this presentation because, from a teaching perspective, seeing the enthusiasm that students have for this topic on a regular basis is something that I hoped to share outside of the classroom. So, when I was contacted, I was happy to do it because outside of a classroom, different members of the community might not know enough about the content. If I can contribute to someone’s better understanding of DNA and for them to actively start to question it more, then that’s something I’m excited to be a part of,” Petlak stated.

He wants people to have a better understanding of the makeup/structure of DNA so that they can know more about the personality traits they have and how it is passed down from one generation to

I am one of the people who understands human nature enough to know that whenever someone has a possession, someone else will want one that is bigger, newer or shinier. I get it! I bought a brand new “Tornado 2500” gas powered leaf blower and my neighbour needs to outdo me and buys the “Tornado 3000”.

To add insult to that slight, he says, “It was by design”. I think he was making a reference to the competition between Moose Jaw

by Dale “bushy” Bush Saskatchewan and Oslo Norway to have the world’s largest statue of a moose. I hope he wasn’t making a reference to his last leaf blower, a “Tornado 2000” and my buying the larger 2500, because, as we all know, when it comes to leaf blowers and moose…size matters.

The competition to have the largest moose has let the world know there is a place named Moose Jaw Saskatchewan and that another place, Oslo Norway, now has the world’s largest moose. Paranoid me feels that both cities arranged to have this “competition” and that the interwwweb not only reacted predictably but beyond what the “conspirators” had hoped being the end result of an increased flow of tourists to both mooses... er moose…er mice?? Paranoid me is wondering if other towns that have the world’s largest ‘somethings’ will be joining forces with “sister” towns and there will be a mania of largeness sweeping the globe.

What if the town of Beaverlodge Alberta, home of the World’s Largest Beaver, found a sister town somewhere in the world to have a world’s largest beaver contest and in the end nobody could give a dam. That would give the interwwweb something to gnaw on. There could be some very interesting sistering of cities and towns throughout the world if this world’s largest craze continues.

But what if a town can’t find another town in the world to compete in a world’s largest contest? Perhaps they would need to find a sister town or city with a compatible world’s largest item. Would that be collusion?

Anyone who has driven the Trans-Canada Highway through Sudbury Ontario has seen the World’s Largest Nickel, which pays tribute to the nickel mining history of the city. I think that if Sudbury was to sister city-up with Coleman Alberta, it might be a match that might “interest” folks, because Coleman is the home of the World’s Largest Piggy Bank. Get it?

The town of Chauvin Alberta might want to sister up with the city of Louisville Kentucky…why you ask? Chauvin is the home of the World’s Largest Softball and Louisville is where they manufacture the “Louisville Slugger” bats and, of course, is the home of a ten-storey bat, the largest in the world.

Heisler Alberta might want to join the team because they have Canada’s Largest Baseball Glove and there might be some room for another sister town to slide in…if they have the largest baseball base.

Brandon Iowa is the home of the world’s largest Frying Pan; Maugerville New Brunswick has the world’s largest Potato, Mundare Alberta’s claim to fame is the world’s largest Keilbasa (kubasa) sausage, and the world’s largest Mushroom can be located in the Alberta town of Vilna. Add the giant egg in Vegreville Alberta. These sister towns could easily have the title of the World’s Largest Farmers Breakfast, but they would be smart to hook-up with the city of Springfield Missouri where the world’s largest Fork is located.

Roadside attractions have one main purpose; that is to have tourists stop, take a few pictures, maybe buy a T-shirt and then tell other folks about the experience. It works, and because of the interwwweb, the world is now talking about two very large mooses…er meese…er moose.

HAPPY NEW YEAR YEAR OF THE PIG

Gung Hay Fat Choy! Chinese New Year Celebrations in Moose Jaw Joan Ritchie Photos by Gary Wong, Moose Jaw Chinese Association

Although officially Chinese New Year isn’t celebrated until February 5th this year, The Moose Jaw Chinese Association celebrated Chinese New Year – Year of the Pig during the evening of January 27th at Jade Garden Restaurant.

The annual tradition brings together Moose Jaw’s Chinese community, along with dignitaries and friends to share in the special annual celebration.

The restaurant was packed to full-capacity with everyone eager to indulge in this year’s banquet offering eight courses, each with a symbolic meaning.

Greetings were brought forth by the Chinese Association, MLA North Warren Michelson and Wakamow MLA Greg Lawrence.

The food was amply blessed in Cantonese, English and Mandarin and the Lion Dance, an annual tradition, was performed by two young lion-dancers in-training.

Again this year, RBC provided red envelopes with ‘lucky money’ for all in attendance, containing a minted coin in celebration of the Year of the Pig. Door prizes were given out to a large number of lucky winners.

It was a special evening of celebration, camaraderie and indulgence, enjoyed by everyone.

A taste of the auld country at Burns Night dinner Matthew Gourlie

Moose Jaw’s annual Burns Night celebration allows locals to enjoy a taste of Scotland.

The Timothy Eaton Activity Centre and Cafe hosted the Scottish celebration of the life of poet Robert Burns on Saturday, Jan. 26.

The night featured traditional toasts, two sets by local Celtic band Desperate for Haggis and a performance by the Moose Jaw Scottish Country Dancers.

Of course, the focal point of the night itself was the traditional roast beef and haggis dinner. Lisa McCormick prepared the haggis, a mix of oatmeal, onion, spices and sheep’s “pluck” (heart, liver and lungs) then traditionally cooked in a casing, while the T.E. Centre provided the roast beef with the traditional side of “neeps and tatties” -- mashed turnips and mashed potatoes.

Andrew Gallagher provided a spirited “Address to the Haggis” a recitation of the Burns poem that culminated with Gallagher stabbing the haggis with a dagger to break the casing and send the aroma of the dish into the air.

After the dinner, came the traditional toasts. Don Mitchell offered a toast to the immortal memory of Burns, Rev. Jim Tenford offered the “toast to the lassies” and Marie Gibbs offered the “reply from the lassies” and noted that Burns “raised women to the highest pinnacle when they were considered non-entities.”

Seeing that it was a night to honour poetry, it seemed only fitting that emcee Wayne Mitchell offered a new poem he had just written “Ode To A Moose” that offered a humourous perspective from the city’s new media sensation.

The tradition of Burns Night began on the fifth anniversary of the poet’s death in 1801 on Jan. 25, the birthday of the 18th century poet. Now the celebration typically takes place on the nearest Saturday.

The first Burns Night supper in Moose Jaw was held in 1908.

Friendship Bench at Saskatchewan Polytechnic promotes conversations about mental health Sasha-Gay Lobban

Saskatchewan Polytechnic is encouraging students to have peer-to-peer conversations about mental health in a bid to increase support for students across its campuses and promote wellness.

As a result, a Yellow Friendship Bench was installed at the Moose Jaw campus to encourage conversations about mental health and help to reduce stigma. The bench is located at the foyer, in front of the school’s cafeteria.

This was made possible through a special gift provided by the Annie’s Friends Foundation established by Dr. Anne Neufeld, former provost and vice-president, Academic for Sask. Polytech.

Yellow Friendship Benches were also installed at Saskatoon and Prince Albert campuses. Regina campus received a Friendship Bench in 2017.

The Friendship Benches were installed ahead of Bell Let’s Talk day on January 30 to support and encourage students to engage in conversations about mental health.

Sam Fiorella was inspired to establish The Friendship Bench initiative after the

loss of his son, Lucas. At the time, Lucas was a university student and Fiorella and his family were unaware he was suffering with depression. The Friendship Bench was created to help others open-up before it’s too late.

The Friendship Bench initiative has set out to install the yellow benches across the country in order to: ¡ Encourage peer-to-peer conversations about mental health among students in order to drive greater awareness of the illness and greater recognition of the symptoms, knowledge of prevention and support services available. ¡ Connect students to available on-campus and in-community mental health resources. ¡ Educate students and parents about the causes and signs of the various forms of mental illness so students may be more aware of their own mental health and that of their friends.

Dr. Larry Rosia, Sask. Polytech president and CEO says initiatives like these help to reduce the stigmas usually associated with mental health. “The curtain around

At Sask. Polytech, we believe in the importance of health and wellness supports to assist our students and employees in reaching their full potential.

Thank you, Dr. Neufeld, for your generous donation and Mr. Fiorella for your tireless advocacy efforts.� “I’ve always been passionate about health and wellness,� says Dr. Anne Neufeld, founder of Annie’s Friends Foundation. “Initiatives such as the Friendship Bench encourage students, faculty and staff to find the support they need to be successful in achieving their educational, career and life goals.�

Annie’s Friends Foundation, founded by Canadian entrepreneur Dr. Anne Neufeld, supports initiatives in health and wellness, education and the arts. Annie’s Friends Foundation is affiliated with the TD Private Giving Foundation. The Friendship Bench hopes to end the stigma about mental health and encourages student-to-student conversations about mental health, facilitates peer-to-peer support networks, and funds on-campus mental health programs with the installation of the yellow Friendship Bench.

TRADING THOUGHTS

“

Whose best interests served by delays in city infrastructure renewal?

After a recent budget meeting, Mayor Fraser Tolmie attacked Coun. Brian Swanson in the media for leaving the meeting after three hours.

According to the mayor, Swanson’s leaving without saying why was disrespectful to the rest of council.

The budget meeting continued another hour without Swanson. This was the meeting where council sent back the $242 million five-year capital budget to have $40 million chopped off, in spite of fears by the city manager that delays in tendering projects will cost taxby Ron Walter payers.

Council did this in an attempt to avoid an infrastructure levy.

Anyone who has ever attended a three-hour meeting on budgets can sympathize with Swanson. After three hours of bickering inconclusively over the same issue, the bum and the brain can go numb.

Swanson may have showed respect for his fellow councillors’ right to sit on their numb bums and continue discussing the budget for a fourth hour.

Council’s procedural bylaw allows any two council members to adjourn a meeting by their request after four hours.

Ironically, this clause in the procedural bylaw was brought in when meetings became so lengthy after Swanson’s first term 30 years ago.

The mayor’s attack on Swanson conflicts directly with his state of the city call to work together.

Swanson’s negative attitude has long frustrated others. Yours Truly, whose reporting career included a lot of frustrating three-hour council meetings, once asked one of these annoyed mayors why not take on Swanson in public?

His response: Attacks do not help council work better together and would divide

the community.

Some observers might see the mayor’s attack on Swanson as a diversion to get taxpayers, particularly in view of Swanson’s conduct in the Mosaic Place scandal, to forget about the real issues.

The real issues in this instance are a likely four per cent plus property tax increase and a potential long-term infrastructure levy to pay for rebuilding a crumbling infrastructure.

Council fears taxpayers will become angry and oust members in next year’s election – and with good reason. Voters tend to blame incumbents for tax increases.

Is it in the best interests of council, or voters, to delay necessary tax increases to re-build infrastructure?

Voters shouldn’t blame this council for tax increases funding renewal of infrastructure. They should blame the councils from 199 until the last council in 2015 that tackled the issue.

Around 1991 City Commissioner Jim Penrod tabled a report saying the city owns about $1 billion in infrastructure. To keep the infrastructure in good condition required investing two per cent of value — $20 million — a year but the city spent between $4 million and $6 million on upgrades.

Later, another report predicted a 10 to 15-year bulge in infrastructure renewal funds would be needed sometime after 2010.

Past councils delayed action for fear of being defeated and hoped federal and provincial governments would bail them out. Faced with deficit cutting the province has no money for infrastructure. The federal need has so many cities to assist that its infrastructure funds can’t fill the gap.

As much as taxpayers will vent, city council should do the right thing and approve an infrastructure levy.

Sask. photographic history book a labour of love Matthew Gourlie

Collecting photographs chronicling the history of Saskatchewan and its First People has been a passion for Adrian K. Paton spanning more than 50 years.

Now, at 85, Paton has published his first book: An Honest, Genial and Kindly People - a private collection of First Nations photographs from the turn of the century in southern Saskatchewan. The title comes from a quote written in a journal by Cecil Le Mesurier, an early settler in southeast Saskatchewan, and is used to describe the Indigenous people he interacted with in the area.

“It’s very gratifying. Part of that is the quite-a-bitof positive feedback that we’re getting from various places. That’s more than I had even hoped for,” Paton said.

Paton was born in Gravelbourg but moved to Arcola and has lived there for the past 50 years. That was around the time he began to collect old photos of the area and province.

“I’ve just always been interested in old things. My grandparents homesteaded here, and I was interested in that. I was interested in the Indigenous people and the area. I started collecting pictures and it just grew from there,” Paton said. “After it became known that I collected these types of pictures, I started to get them from all sorts of places.”

As the collection grew, Paton created the South Saskatchewan Photo Museum, a one-man operation in Arcola. That allowed his collection to reach a larger

audience through projects with the Saskatchewan History and Folklore Society, the University of Saskatchewan and Sask. History Online. Subsequently, some of his collection has been digitalized and is available online to the public. It also includes a unique oral history component, allowing viewers to listen to Paton’s memories and recollections associated with the photos.

“Adrian has collected in a way that deepens his knowledge of the place where he lives and of his understanding of his Indigenous neighbours who, despite the weight of colonialism, continue to make that region their home. But what is most inspiring about Adrian Paton and his collection of photos is his desire to share it with others.” said Keith Thor Carlson, professor of History at the University of Saskatchewan who wrote the forward to the book.

Above all, that includes a desire to share his collection with the First Nation communities whose ancestors are depicted in the photographs. He reached out to area First Nations communities to repatriate the photos back to those communities giving some the first opportunity to see a photo of an ancestor they had only heard about.

“Adrian has collected in a way that deepens his knowledge of the place where he lives and of his understanding of his Indigenous neighbours who, despite the weight of colonialism, continue to make that region their home. But what is most inspiring about Adrian Paton and his collection of photos is his desire to share it with others.”

-Keith Thor Carlson, professor of History at the University of Saskatchewan

“For 10 years I had a large building in this town, which wasn’t hard to acquire in a small town, and I ran a gallery. I had these pictures on display and many of the First Nations people came in to look at them and I got information from them,” Paton said.

Paton has been gathering information since well before the internet era. He would write letters and pursue leads if he heard about a photographer who may have passed through the area, even if it was nearly a century ago.

Beyond the photographs, the book contains information about the photographs and the people pic-

“It’s not just pictures, I tried to paint a picture in words that people could understand. That’s a little difficult when the event happened 100 years ago.

The terminology has changed an awful lot and things like that, but I think we succeeded. I had some very good editors help me,” Paton said.

Paton has more than 8,000 photographs in his collection.

“A few years ago, I had a health problem and I decided I should try to do something with these pictures,” Paton said. “(Carlson) took an interest and he pushed me to put it in book-form, so it could be published and people could see them.”

Through a collaboration with the Sask. Folklore Society, there is a touring exhibition of 56 photos that has been around for five years. That project was embraced by educators in the province and Paton has similar hopes for his book.

“I have been contacted by the Saskatchewan education department and they wish to review it,” he said.

“I’m hoping this book might be used in schools.”

Paton’s book does include some early images from the Moose Jaw area and is 8x10 inches and has 200 pages. It is available for $35/copy (plus shipping if applicable, a single charge of $15 covers shipping for 1-8 books). Anyone interested in purchasing a book can contact Adrian Paton at akpaton28@hotmail.com or his daughter Val Guillemin at guilleminval@hotmail.com in Saskatoon.

Hot Pressure Washers!!

Life is one big petri dish

by Dr. Steven Heidinger, Moose Jaw Chiropractor If you’ve been keeping up with your nutrition news, you may have heard the recent announcement regarding the change in structure of Canada’s Food Guide. I have no desire to critique the newest version, only to say there have been some interesting changes. Whether these changes have been scientifically or politically motivated, I am intrigued just by the fact that there have been changes.

I get a kick out of hearing that what once was considered good for us, maybe not so much!

If you’ve lived long enough, you have probably seen

many circumstances when the so-called experts have flipflopped on what they thought was best for us and, unfortunately, many of these “oops” have occurred in the area of nutrition, health care and medicine.

Also unfortunate is that the consequences of some of these mistakes have been more dire than recommending pasta salad as a healthy meal.

Medications that were once considered miracle drugs are now off-market because of the harm they caused. Remember Thalidomide and Vioxx?

Breast feeding was the way to go for centuries (if not longer) then someone figured a man-made formula was superior, then breast feeding was back in favour.

Cholesterol was bad, and now it’s okay? Fat apparently doesn’t make you fat anymore; it’s the sugar that makes you fat?

Even in my profession of chiropractic, medical opinion has changed. For nearly half of my practicing career there have been “experts” telling us that manipulating a spine was dangerous and served no

valid purpose. Now the experts are telling us the opposite. Now it’s okay to go to the chiropractor but a few decades ago it wasn’t?

Guaranteed, the experts 100 years from now will be shaking their frontal cortexes over the things we are doing today to the human body. But I guess that’s okay because the human race has really just been one big medical experiment. Through trial and error, we are slowly figuring out what works and what doesn’t, what’s good for us and what kills us.

Through this trial and error, we can only hope that we gain knowledge, respect and a bit of humility.

The term “gold standard” has been defined as, ‘the supreme example of something against which others are judged or measured” (Collins English Dictionary). To me, when it comes to what is best for the human body, the gold standard may never be known.

We think we are so smart, but when compared to Mother Nature, we really are still quite dumb. Mother Nature is truly the gold standard.

Yara Centre providing new opportunities for local soccer players Matthew Gourlie

The beautiful game of soccer will have a beautiful home for the next three years.

Moose Jaw Soccer Association signed a three-year tenant agreement for the Yara Centre with the City of Moose Jaw. The MJSA has two new initiatives this season and are excited about the possibilities having a full-sized indoor soccer pitch can offer them.

“It’s another step towards this becoming our forever home,” said Jordan Jeffrey, technical director for the Moose Jaw Soccer Association. “It’s a facility that, obviously, we were a big part of in the formation and building of, as well. We want to make sure we stay here for as long as possible. It’s another victory for us in terms of being able to keep delivering elite programming without having to step back into the gym format of soccer which is really a big, big benefit for us.

We can continue to host our provincial events here and develop our local athletes and provincial athletes too.”

The MJSA has partnered with the academy of Major League Soccer’s Vancouver Whitecaps to launch a Whitecaps FC Academy Centre this past August. The program is open to boys and girls from the under-8 to the under-18 age groups.

The academy trains out of the Yara Centre and began with three 60-minute sessions taking place over eight weekends from November to January. For phase two, there will be 60-minute training sessions for the youngest age group, while the two older blocks will train for 90 minutes.

That eight-week block of training will begin on March 3 and run until May 5.

marked that soccer is the most played sport by Canadian youth under-16. He wants to not only see opportunities for boys and girls to reach their potential but believes that elite-level sports will also help young people be better future leaders in the community.

“I’m passionate about building a strong and healthy community, but also building strong future leaders out of this community,” Tolmie said. “We want these facilities used. That’s why they were built. We need to go out to the people and create programs that they are going to be interested in.

“The Moose Jaw Soccer Association played an integral role in the funding initiative to build Yara Centre and we are excited that we can continue to work in partnership with the them.”

The MJSA has also hosted a provincial league that draws clubs to the city for a slate of matches over a weekend.

“Once a month, we have teams from all over the province come in. We play 9v9 half-field games inside the Yara here.

We’ve done two weekends already and had a lot of success,” Jeffrey said.

The program features U15 boys and girls matches and then U17/19 boys and girls that are combined.

“We have a team from Alberta in the boys division for the U15s,” Jeffrey said.

“Bonneville comes down for that one.

So, it’s a long trek, but they want to be a part of the program this year, which is awesome for us. It’s a different level of athlete and a different style of athlete for

our players to go up against.”

Jeffrey feels that the new program shows the potential of Moose Jaw as a market and the Yara Centre as a destination.

“I think maybe in the past, as an organization, we haven’t necessarily marketed the facility well enough,” he said. “You come to Moose Jaw and not only does Moose Jaw have some good players and some good teams to play against you, but you have an awesome facility to come in here and play in. We know how hard it is for smaller communities... to get into an actual soccer facility. We can bring those teams in here, we can all compete; we can learn together and play against each other and have some fun.”

Sask Selects looking to expand with new Yara Centre deal Matthew Gourlie

When Zeljko Stefanovic first saw the Yara Centre he knew it would be the perfect place for his sons to continue to refine their football skills in the cold prairie winter.

In their first year in 2012, 33 players practiced indoors a handful of times, as the Sask Selects program was created. This year, 205 players are playing on four teams. They will train together every two weeks before heading to San Antonio, Texas for a tournament in February.

“What started as a bunch of dads who wanted their kids to play football in the wintertime has sure morphed into something that never in a million years did we think would be possible here in Moose Jaw,” said Stefanovic who founded the Sask Selects with his wife Deb Stefanovic and is the director of operations.

Tuesday the Selects program signed a three-year tenant agreement with the City of Moose Jaw at the Yara Centre.

The new deal runs until Nov. 14, 2021.

The City has taken over the facility since the DFFH board of directors was dissolved in August.

“It’s been a journey over the last seven

years, but now we finally have a home and we can start planning and finalizing some of our plans and putting them to work,” Stefanovic said. “Football in Saskatchewan is alive and well and a facility like this is going to help us make it better.”

The end goal for the Selects program is to help better prepare players to compete at the collegiate level. Manitoba Selects teams have travelled to Moose

Jaw the past two years and with a longterm agreement in place the Selects program is hoping to continue to expand.

“That’s what a program like this does; it allows us to make this place a destination where kids from all over Western Canada are going to come and train. I know there are naysayers that are saying it’s in the middle of nowhere, but you know what? If you have a program that people are interested in, they will

come here. And we’ve proven it. Every second weekend we have kids coming from Calgary; we have kids coming from north of La Ronge and all over the province,” Stefanovic said.

It’s not just the players; last weekend a group of coaches came up from California and were blown away by the quality of the facility in a smaller centre.

Stefanovic was in Calgary helping a group there that were looking to launch a similar program. The interest was there, but available facilities were not.

“In a city like Calgary that you can’t find a place like this to train is amazing to me. We’re so blessed to have this in Moose Jaw,” Stefanovic said.

The new agreement will see the Selects using the facility more often and both parties are hoping that they will be able to use the facility more during “offtime” between during weekday daytime hours.

“It’s not just the facility that benefits, but the whole community that benefits where a lot of people from across Saskatchewan are going to be coming and training here. We want Moose Jaw to be a centre of excellence,” said Mayor Fraser Tolmie.

High school wrestlers post dominant results Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

It’s been quite the start to the season for Moose Jaw high school wrestlers.

Not only are members of the club winning regularly, they’re doing it en masse – to the point that result sheets are filled with little more than podium finishes. Take the most recent Wolverine Scratch and Claw meet in Warman, where local competitors picked up five first-place finishes in the Elite division to go along with 16 top-three showings in total.

What that translates into down the road when it comes to regionals and even provincials is yet to be seen, but coach Sophie Rosso is hoping to see a banner year for her charges.

“Isn’t that incredible?” she replied, when asked about high finishes. “And it’s all happening in the Elite division, and some of them are first year Elite as well; they did really, really well...

This is a really good snapshot of our regionals and what me might see there, so we might be looking at some really good results. We’re really pleased, especially with the Elite and how well they’re doing.”

Taking first place out of Warman were Liam Vargo (53-55 kilograms), Kyle Yamniuk (61-64), Davin Miller (6367), Ethan La Rose (69-70), Connor Rowsell (89-94). Finishing second were Hannah Watts (female 71-75),

Myra Szabo (female 76-83), Dylan Yamniuk (71-75), Kayde Shymko (8082) and Kaeden Utley (89-94). Thirdplace finishers were Miheret Cridland (52-53), Makayla Holmes (56-61) and Kassandra Loucks (60-64) in the Elite Female class, Brayden Johnson (8082) and Dalton Taylor (93-99) in Elite Male.

While the majority of the team competes out of Peacock, a handful of competitors are taking the mats out of other schools. That’s made little difference when it comes to camaraderie, though, as Rosso saw at the Scratch and Claw.

“I think one of the best things we

saw the whole weekend was Brayden Johnson from Central having a match, and I looked over and there were like 25 kids in the corner just cheering for them, and almost all of them were from Peacock,” she said. “So it’s gone beyond just being part of schools at this point, it’s part of the whole team and that’s amazing.”

The Novice division also saw a handful of interesting showings – three first place, three second place and three thirds – led by Ryann Handley’s firstplace performance in the female 59-63 division.

“She’s in Grade 12 and she’s a cham-

pion figure skater; in both competitions she’s been in she’s taken gold,” Rosso said with a tone of amazement.

“She’s just amazing... she doesn’t tire out there and her conditioning is incredible. It’s great to see her doing so well.”

Jordan Wikman (67-73) and Gauge Adams took (85-92) took first in their Novice men’s classes while Alexis Bradish (female 59-63), Tessa Petruic (female 79-83) and Tanner Stelwagen (67-73) were all second and Paige Lidberg (female 62-64), Sydnee Christmann (68-71) and Tessa Petruic finished third.

Next up for the local competitors is their own Moose Jaw tournament, which takes place Feb. 9 and will feature 240 wrestlers from all over the province.

“It’s not the fringe sport that it was when I first started helping out with it; it ranks among football and basketball with how competitive the kids ar. They’re really making a place for themselves among the sports in town,” Rosso said. “And there are a lot of young kids coming in, too. We have a good mix of young and old and that’s nice to have, for sure.”

Warriors make stop at home count The Moose Jaw Warriors are only going to have one home game during a 31-day stretch.

They certainly made their homecoming count.

Friday, the Warriors were strong in all facets of their game as they beat the Medicine Hat Tigers 6-1 at Mosaic Place.

“We knew the fans were looking forward to having us and we gave them a show tonight,” said Warriors rookie Brayden Tracey. “We were happy to get a win at home too. Our record is 18-3-2 on the road.

That’s obviously huge, but we want homeice advantage for the playoffs, so we have to start winning some more at home here.”

Tracey scored a natural hat trick to stake the Warriors to a 3-0 lead and send them on their way to their fourth straight win.

Saturday, the Warriors (28-11-6-2) saw their eight-game point streak snapped with a tight 4-3 loss to the Prince Albert Raiders.

They sit four points behind the Saskatoon Blades who are second in the East Division standings. The Warriors have three games in hand on Saskatoon.

Keenan Taphorn scored a power play goal and Kjell Kjemhus scored his first goal of the season to put the Warriors ahead 5-0 and chase Tigers starting goalie Jordan Hollett after he stopped 22 of the 27 shots he faced.

Ryan Chyzowski spoiled Evanoff’s shutout, before Justin Almeida kept his goalstreak alive to round out the scoring.

Almeida scored his 20th goal of the season to extend his goal streak to five games with 4:15 left in the third period. Almeida was named the WHL’s player of the week for the second straight week on Monday.

Josh Brook and Brayden Tracey also scored for the Warriors who got all three of their goals on the power play, capitalizing on three of their five chances. Jett Woo finished with three assists.

Former Moose Jaw General Cole Fonstad opened the scoring for the Raiders who never trailed, and Sean Montgomery and Kaiden Guhle also scored for the Raiders.

Brodan Salmond made 31 saves in the loss and Ian Scott made 28 saves for Prince Albert.

Generals earn two big victories Scott Hellings A pair of victories has kept the Moose Jaw Generals in the Saskatchewan Midget AAA playoff hunt.

First, The Moose Jaw Generals skated away with a much-needed win on Jan. 31 by defeating the Saskatoon Contacts 5-2 at Mosaic Place.

Steve Kesslering opened the scoring for the Generals. The home squad also received two goals apiece from Cody Davis and Evan Sare, the latter of whom scored both shorthanded and on the powerplay. Both of Saskatoon’s goals came off the stick of Karter McNarland.

Goalie Reece Hodson made 46 saves in the win. Cole Johnston stopped 26 of 31 for the Contacts.

Then, on Saturday, Feb. 2 the Generals got another important win by defeating the Yorkton Maulers 4-1 on home ice.

However, despite the victory, the Generals still remain eight points out of the final playoff spot as of Feb. 4, as the Saskatoon Contacts also won on Saturday, defeating Swift Current 5-2.

Moose Jaw’s Cody Davis opened the scoring in the first before Yorkton’s Carter Dereniwsky tied it up in the second. But that is as close as the Maulers would get, as the Generals would go on to score three unanswered goals to cruise to victory. Steve Kesslering, Brendan Kemp, and Evan Sare had the other Moose Jaw goals.

Goalie Reece Hodson made 31 saves in the victory, while Yorkton’s Aiden Elmy stopped 48 of 52.

Next up for the Generals is a road game against the Regina Pat Canadians on Feb. 6.

Work of the Kinsmen on display at banquet Matthew Gourlie

The annual Kinsmen Sports Celebrity Banquet is an entertaining evening that raises a lot of money to support all of the local Kinsmen’s initiatives in the community.

Saturday night was no exception, but it was also a chance for a number of honourees to talk about how the Kinsmen have had an impact on their lives.

The evening began with an address from Shailynn Taylor. When she was 18 months old, Taylor was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) a rare neuromuscular disorder that causes muscle weakness and atrophy. Doctors told the Taylors she had a life expectancy of 13. When she turned 19, they expected her to have two good years left., Recently, however, there’s been hope for the 23-year-old. She began her first treatment with a new SMA drug called Spinraza. It is the first of its kind, but costs $60,000 per dose. Still,, with the initial dose, the progression of the disease and the weakening of the muscles can be stopped.

With a second dose, the missing proteins begin to rebuild returning strength to the muscles.

Thanks to the support of the community, including the Kinsmen, a GoFundMe campaign was started by Debbie Taylor-French and Seaborn Agencies, Hope For Shai was created and made a first treatment with doses possible.

She is recovering from the treatment, which involves a spinal injection, but the Kinsmen have also donated a standing power wheelchair to help her build strength in her legs as she works towards the goal of standing again — something she never thought would be possible.

“I am just a small example of the incredible work the Kinsmen do and the impact that they have in the community,” Taylor

Amber Balcaen, centre, answers a question while flanked by Darryl Sittler, left, and John Gibbons, right, during the 27th annual Kinsmen Sports Celebrity Banquet. Matthew Gourlie photograph said. “I am forever grateful to have grown up in such a supportive community.”

It was the 27th annual banquet and is a major fundraiser for the local Kinsmen, with proceeds going to support local sports, arts, culture and community initiatives.

The featured guests were NHL Hall of Famer Darryl Sittler, former Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons and Amber Balcaen, a race car driver from Winnipeg who is trying to breakthrough in the NASCAR circuit.

The Kinsmen Sports Achievement Award was given to two-time Olympic bobsledder Ben Coakwell. The former Saskatchewan Huskies football player sent in a video message, while he prepares for the world championships, but thanked the Kinsmen for their support of his athletic career.

“In my early years in sports, the Kinsmen did a lot for myself as a young athlete,”

Andreoni honoured with Sports Builder Award Matthew Gourlie

Ned Andreoni was a character, a great coach and a staple of the local sports community and Vanier Collegiate.

Saturday, Andreoni became the recipient of the Moose Jaw Express’ Sports Builder Award. The award was presented at the annual Kinsmen Sports Celebrity Banquet at the Heritage Inn. Andreoni died in 2007 at the age of 61; his son Noel Andreoni accepted the award on his father’s behalf.

In 1967 when the Moose Jaw Regals baseball team needed a pitcher, president John Hunter got in contact with Fresno State and they sent up Andreoni, a shortstop. Nonetheless, between his play on the field and his personality Andreoni’s teammates took to him and, he in turn, fell in love with the city.

He returned with his high school sweetheart Lynn and they got married and raised two kids, Noel and Tia, in the city. Andreoni taught two years at Peacock and then for the rest of his life at Vanier where the gym is named in his honour.

In his acceptance speech, Noel recounted some memorable stories about his dad. Ned played men’s baseball for years and was one of the top players in the province, leading the Regals to two national championship appearances, winning batting titles and most valuable player awards. He also used to bring Noel to practice and have him in the third base dugout. Noel recalled a time when he returned home from practice without his two-year-old son, having left him behind at Ross Wells Park.

From pulling pranks on his younger players, dressing up as Santa Claus or wearing a gorilla mask to scare students, there was never a dull moment with Andreoni.

“And you put up with this for 40 years. Generations of people put up with this stuff,” Noel said before getting more serious. “But you trusted him. You trusted his process and you trusted him with your children.”

They had good reason to. Beyond his skill at passing on his knowledge of sports to his players, Andreoni was always focused on making players better — whether they were his players or the opponents — and helping mould better young people. He was tireless, endlessly enthusiastic and omnipresent in the local sports scene. He brought people together everywhere he went in the sports community.

Andreoni coached Vanier’s senior boys and girls team to their first provincial title. He was an assistant coach with the 1975 Vanier football team, which won the school’s first city title. He would be a part of them winning more city titles and a provincial title.

He also guided Vanier’s golf team to their first city title.

He coached basketball at the Saskatchewan Games and twice at the Canada Games.

As busy as he was as a coach, Ned was also a basketball official for more than 25 years. He also played senior men’s basketball for 40 years and played softball and won seven straight league titles with the Park Hotel Giants. He also found time to put his baseball knowledge to good use as an area scout for the Toronto Blue Jays.

said Coakwell who was in the Kinsmen Speed Skating Club and the Kinsmen Flying Fins and also played lacrosse, hockey, football and ran track. That broad athletic skill set helped Coakwell when he took up bobsleigh after university.

The Moose Jaw Warriors received the Discover Moose Jaw Team of the Year Award after winning the franchise’s first Scotty Munro Memorial Trophy as the WHL’s regular season champions and broke franchise records for wins (52) and points (109).

Ned Andreoni was posthumously honoured with the Moose Jaw Express’ Sports Builder Award (see sidebar).

The celebrity guests participated in a pair

of hot stove question and answer sessions.

Sittler had plenty of funny anecdotes from his days with the Leafs — some true and some less so — but also took time to talk about how everyone, famous or not, was in control of their own life and their impact on the world every day and to not take that lightly.

He spoke of how Terry Fox inspired him — the two met in Toronto during the Marathon of Hope and Sittler gave Fox his All-Star game jersey from that season — reflecting on how amazing the impact one person can make on the world can be.

From helping to raise $1 million, to open the first Ronald McDonald House in Toronto – to raising awareness of the risks of colon cancer, Sittler has also tried to leave a lasting impact well beyond his playing days.

Jamie Campbell has emcee’d the event for a few years in a row and said that if they invite him back next year he might as well buy property in Moose Jaw. While the final tally of money raised won’t be known for months, the live auction items raised nearly $23,000. The hat draw — in which each hat gave the bidder a 1-in-13 chance to win a five-day trip to see three live sporting events — brought in $22,300. The head table auction for dinner raised $10,100 and the 5050 brought in $1,585.

A signed guitar from the One-Horse Town concert raised $600 for the Special Olympics.

Handley ready for Canada Winter Games Moose Jaw figure skater aiming for medals at prestigious event Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Years of hard work and preparation are about to pay off in a major way for Moose Jaw figure skater Ryann Handley.

The 17-year-old Novice ladies competitor will represent Saskatchewan at the 2019 Canada Winter Games beginning Feb. 15 in Red Deer, an event that promises to be a highlight of the up-and-coming skater’s career. “It’s a real honour and I’m really looking forward to it,� Handley said during a brief break from a recent three-hour practice session at the Kinsmen Sportsplex. “It’ll be a lot of fun and I’m hoping I’ll be able to do really well for the team and the province.�

While Saskatchewan is sending a full contingent of figure skaters to the event, Handley will be the lone competitor in her class, adding a bit of extra pressure

to perform at her highest level. Seeing that she’s coming off a 37th place finish at the recent national championships and the field is substantially smaller at the Games, a higher finish could be in the cards. “I’d like to be top 15; it’s way more elite there but there are fewer skaters, so there’s more opportunity to finish higher,� Handley said. “I’ll know pretty much everyone there, so I know the competition will be tough... The first time, it’s so intimidating when you’re up against skaters like that, but as you compete again and again you get used to it and it’s almost motivating.�

As one could expect, Handley has been hard at work leading up to the Games, putting in 12 hours a week or more on the ice under the tutelage of coaches Jana

Moose Jaw figure skater Ryann Handley will be competing at the Canada Winter Games.

Beesley-Capili and Sherrie Wiebe. “It’s been really good, I’ve been training six days a week in Moose Jaw and Regina and things have been going well, so

I’m looking forward to seeing what I can do,� Handley said.

The Games will mark the end of the official competition season, but Handley will be far from done with the blades – there’s still a Canada Games team tour of Saskatchewan to take part in, following the event. “It’s definitely a highlight of the season; it’s a lot of fun being part of that,� Handley said. “You don’t get to do it too often, so it’ll be fun to skate in front of everyone and show what we can do.�

Handley won’t be the only Moose Jaw skater at the event, as Raine Eberle and partner Caidence Derenisky of Regina will skate in the Novice pairs division.

The figure skating portion of the Games begins Feb. 22 at the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre in Red Deer.

Holy Trinity’s St Agnes and St Michael win 5th Annual Battle of the Books Sasha-Gay Lobban

Vanier’s gym lit up with screams and excitement as the 5th annual Battle of the Books took place on Tuesday, January 29.

Battle of the Books saw grades 3-8 students battling it out using their wits about the books they read in preparation for the competition. The students read up to six (6) books and their knowledge of those books were then tested in the competition, which saw schools from the Holy Trinity School Division all participating.

St Agnes School won in the grades 3-5 category, while St Michael School won in the grades 6-8 category. The students did an impressive job at answering the questions, showing off their skills as a

Daphne Yates, Learning Consultant for Holy Trinity School Division said over 100 students participated this year. “We had about 125 kids together that participated this year. We changed the format a bit this year so that all students who were part of the Battle of the Books got to be part of battle day. We then take those top competitors and have a final ‘battle-off’.

The new adjustments worked pretty well.

We are really happy that every student got to participate this year once they were part of the competition from its initial stages.”

winners said they would love to be part of the competition again next year. “It was awesome. I read all the books. It was a big commitment because we took about five months to prepare but I enjoyed every minute of it even though it was stressful at times,” said Sophie Trzaskowski who was part of St Agnes’ winning team.

This year’s sponsors for Battle of the Books were: Moose Jaw Literacy, the Chamber of Commerce, Saskatchewan Festival of Words and the Moose Jaw Public Library.

She thanked the students for their enthusiasm, sponsors for their contributions and the hardworking coaches for their undaunting commitment to the process. “We want to say a big ‘thank you’ to our sponsors and coaches. This is a huge time commitment for our coaches, and they did a great job with the students. Following this battle, we’ll move right into choosing books for next year’s competition so, this is a big commitment for those involved (a year-long coaching commitment) and we appreciate everyone who makes this possible.”

Dear Ms. L’Hereux-Mason, I am writing to you in regards to the new proposed slogan for Moose Jaw - the most notorious city in Canada - celebrating our dark past. I am not sure why this is seen as such a good idea? Names really matter and celebrating the darkness is tantamount to cursing our city. If we are wanting to promote Moose Jaw as a tourist destination, I think we need to come up with something positive.

I don’t think that depicting our city in this way is going to attract more people to make Moose Jaw their home. We need young families to make this their home in order for our city to survive and thrive and this is not of any help at all - this gives a very bad vibe. “Oh, lets move our business and our family to Canada’s most notorious city”.

This is also a somewhat narrowed and racist depiction of our past. The First Nations peoples used the Wakamow Valley as a place of reconciliation and peace. This is a true and foundational part of Moose Jaw’s history. Why are we not celebrating this and emphasizing the message of peace, prosperity and hope?

I am asking you to seriously reconsider this slogan.

Waiting for your response, Sincerely, Catherine Reichel

St Michael School won in the grades 6-8 category. (St Michael photo)

Ms. Reichel, Thank you for your input. I was only one of about 35 people involved, so as you can imagine I have little to no say at this point.

In the world of marketing, standing out is critical. There is an excellent plan moving forward with this fun and tongue in cheek idea, and we will do everything we can to make this a success. I would urge you to lend your support, as together we can make this extremely worthwhile to this city we all love.

I appreciate you taking the time to reach out.

Loss of newspapers contributes to political polarization

By David Bauder | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK _ The steady loss of local newspapers and journalists across the country contributes to the nation’s political polarization, a new study has found.

With fewer opportunities to find out about local politicians, citizens are more likely to turn to national sources like cable news and apply their feelings about national politics to people running for the town council or state legislature, according to research published in the Journal of Communication.

The result is much less ``split ticket’’ voting, or people whose ballot includes votes for people of different parties. ``The voting behaviour was more polarized, less likely to include split ticket voting, if a newspaper

had died in the community,’’ said Johanna Dunaway, a communications professor at Texas A&M University, who conducted the research with colleagues from Colorado State and Louisiana State universities.

Researchers reached that conclusion by comparing voting data from 66 communities where newspapers have closed in the past two decades to 77 areas where local newspapers continue to operate, she said. ``We have this loss of engagement at the local level,’’ she said.

Researchers are only beginning to measure the public impact of such losses. Among the other findings is less voter participation among news-deprived citizens in ``off-year’’ elections where local offices are

decided, Abernathy said. Another study suggested a link to increased government spending in communities where ``watchdog’’ journalists have disappeared, she said.

Dunaway said voters in communities without newspapers are more likely to be influenced by national labels _ if they like Republicans like President Donald Trump, for example, that approval will probably extend to Republicans lower on the ballot. ``They have to rely on party ‘brand names’ and are less about ‘how I can do best for my district,’’’ she said. © 2019 The Canadian Press

Moose Jaw Police Service hosts Ukrainian Police group for a day Sasha-Gay Lobban Ukrainian police trainers joined the Moose Jaw Police Service for a day, as part of their visit to Canada to develop partnerships and training approaches.

Chief of Police for the Moose Jaw Police Service, Rick Bourassa hosted the group as they discussed training, governance and polices, as well as having a glimpse into operations at the Police Service.

Chief Bourassa says Ukraine has been re-building its police force for several years and coming to Canada forms part of that initiative. “We had been working a bit with some of the officers there. The Mission reached out to us through the Police Training Assistance Program that supports the Mission. Four of their police trainers were coming to Canada to spend time in different places and we were asked if we could host them on Sunday, (January 27)” Bourassa explained.

“Ukraine right now has been in the process of recreating their police ser-

vice and Canada has been involved in that. Part of what Canada is doing is Canadian police officers are going to Ukraine on a mission called the Canadian Police Mission Ukraine

FREE PALLETS

(CPMU),” Bourassa noted.

This was the first time the Moose Jaw Police has hosted a police group from another country. “We discussed training, governance, policies and we

showed them our operations. It was a great experience for the group, and we were happy to be part of providing that experience. This is the first time we’ve hosted a delegation from another country.”

As a result of the meeting, Chief Bourassa says discussions have started in relation to Moose Jaw Police Service members also becoming part of this Mission. He says the experience would be an asset to the Police Service. “One of the things that we are looking at doing is eventually having Moose Jaw Police members participate in some of these missions.

They’re incredibly important and valuable and the members that go are able to learn and contribute. They also bring back great knowledge and experience that is good for us here as well.

We’ll work on some of our members getting the opportunity to go on some of those missions, so we’ll see how it goes.”

Usually, I start the year off with a bang and fresh vision but honestly, I have struggled with that this year. With one month already past, I have not had any solid direction for my personal life. Usually God downloads something in my spirit to aim for in the coming year but I have felt dry and uninspired. Interestingly, I recently started to work on a book I began writing last fall. Coincidentally, Sis piqued my interest of a podcast she’d been listening to that reminded her of the book I’d started and suggested I determine to finish that book as part of my vision for this year. YES! That struck a chord with me as I pondered the idea. It led to another thought... unfinished business.

I have much unfinished business I must attend to. There are projects I’ve started that need to be completed, such as a couple unfinished quilts, information for tax preparation to be gathered, a few books to finish reading, and some painting I need to complete (I’m embarrassed to admit I started the trim in the bathroom several months ago that hasn’t been finished). I also have a list of projects I’d like to start; however, I need to finish what I’ve started in order to complete the vision I had for last year! Something new cannot be completed until something has been finished; interesting concept.

We can have unfinished business in our relationships as well. Linda and Charlie Bloom, experts in relationships, suggest that “unfinished business, unresolved issues, emotional baggage, irreconcilable differences (and misunderstandings) ... (are) not good for relationships.� They suggest these relationship issues could be called “incompletions� stating that something is missing, unfinished or incomplete in the relationship. The feeling that things are okay between the two parties is missing. The Blooms suggest that “sometimes it’s worth the risk of rocking the boat� to find a sense of completeness that develops a trust and connection once again. “When an incompletion doesn’t get addressed in an open and timely way, it impairs our ability to experience deep connection, intimacy and empathy in our relationship. ...Like an undisposed bucket of garbage in the kitchen, the longer it sits there, the more foul-smelling it becomes. Many of us, in our efforts to avoid the risk of opening up a potential can of worms, choose instead to build up a tolerance to the smell of decay rather than take out the trash. Developing this tolerance has the effect of diminishing the motivation to clean things up. And the vicious circle remains unbroken.�

It’s sometimes easier to sweep things under the carpet than deal with them but that is really only a temporary solution. As we become more skilled at sharing our feelings and thoughts back and forth, we can expect a positive outcome in time. It may take several or many conversations to bring reconciliation to both parties but it is worth the effort. Avoidance only prolongs the agony of having those tough conversations. There is a learning curve to this process but anyone can master it if we keep working on it.

I think of Onesimus in the book of Philemon who had stolen from his master and then run away, only to find Jesus on his pilgrimage and then was sent back home by his friend and mentor, Paul, to make things right with Onesimus’ master, Philemon. The results of fixed relationships are deep connection, intimacy and empathy in our relationships as well as less stress and better sleep.

The shorter our list of unfinished business, the more peace we will have.

BERGER JOHN GORDON MCPHERSON (Johnny Mac)

ELEANOR GRAYSON A gentle wind blew across the land Reaching out to take a hand For on the winds the Angels came Calling out a loved one’s name.

Left to grieve the children’s tears Loving memories of all the years Of joy and love, a life well spent But now to God a mother’s sent On Angel’s wings, a heavenly flight The journey home, toward the light To those who weep, a life is gone But in God’s love, it’s but the dawn.

December 18th, 1957 - January 29th, 2019

John passed away suddenly at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital following cancer surgery. He was born in Saskatoon, SK, the youngest of the four children of William and Dolina McPherson, who predeceased him in 2005. John is survived by his eldest brother, Don McPherson (Diana); sisters, Barb Smith (Ken - deceased July 2018) and Dolina (Ross) Watson; as well as his nieces and nephews, and great nieces and nephews: Sheri (Sheldon) and their children Zak, Matt and Alec, Chad and his children Jordan and Jaicee, Ken (Jackie) and their children Keenan and Jessica, Kathy and her children Lachlan and Ada, Angus (Cassie) and their children Abigail and Emily, and Heather (David). John has been part of the Citizens All Association family for almost forty years, with his longest and most recent residence at Hochelaga House. He attended Diversified Services, participating in a variety of tasks.

John was a very happy soul who will be missed by all whose lives he touched. We would like to thank the Surgical Ward Staff for John’s care during his stay. John’s family would like to thank the Staff at Citizen’s All for the love and care they gave to our special brother John. A Celebration of John’s Life will be held on Friday, February 8th, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. in the Harvey Room at Moose Jaw Funeral Home. Flowers are gratefully declined.

As an expression of sympathy, donations in memory of John may be made to Citizens All Association Inc. Head Office, 410 Hochelaga St E, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 0P3.

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother and Great Great Grandmother, Eleanor (Ellie), Monday January 28, at 102 years old. She was born and raised in the Meyronne, Kincaid area. Eleanor is predeceased by her parents Clarence and Mabel Johnson; sister Marjorie Wilson; her first husband Doug Sangster; her second husband William (Bill) Grayson; three sons-in-law Jack Angus, Wayne Foord and Alex Bell. She leaves to mourn her five daughters Karen Bell, Faye Angus (Ed Windsor), Judy Foord, Twyla Rail (Ed), Debbie McKinnon; ten grandchildren, Terry Dell, Jodi Stork, Michael Bell, Richard Angus, Robert Angus, Patti Shirkey, Jackie Foord, Joseph Rail, Colin Rail, Carly McKinnon; nineteen great grandchildren and eight great great grandchildren as well as several nieces and nephews. Friends were always welcome in our house as we grew up and harmonizing while doing daily tasks with her girls was a must. The smell of homemade bread, potato soup and the sound of Elvis Presley will always be a memory with us and many of our friends. Mom we miss you greatly. The family would like to send our deepest gratitude to the staff of Providence Place for the excellent care Mom has received for the past 10 years. She was truly fond of a great many caregivers over that period and many of them became like family to all of us. A Private Family Service will be held at a later date. Those wishing to leave an expression of sympathy in memory of Eleanor may do so with the Moose Jaw Humane Society, Box 1658, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 7N7 or Providence Place Auxiliary, 100 Second Ave. NE Moose Jaw, SK S6H 1B8.

In living memory of Eleanor, a memorial planting will be made by Jones - Parkview Funeral Services.

Please sign the memorial register at website: www. wjjonesandson.com or www.parkviewfuneralchapel.ca (Obituaries).
