TRADING THOUGHTS By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Opposition to safe drug injection sites understandable in view of century old laws Safe drug injection sites are controversial among the public as we’ve seen with the one recently opened in Saskatoon. So controversial are they that Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, who has religiously followed advice of his health gurus on the pandemic, merely said he would consider funding them when asked during by Ron Walter an election debate. Safe drug injections are a hot button issue simply because for over 100 years government has legislated drug use as a crime. In the 1960s and 1970s many governments declared war on drug use. That’s a war that has been lost. Police nab one supply network and two more pop up. Small wonder that public attitudes towards drug use, substance abuse is the politically correct term, are so hardened like the lock ’em up throw away the key attitude developed after generations of drug use being criminal.

To some people, safe drug injection sites are a sign government has given up on the war against drugs. To others, these sites are a way to save some addicts’ lives and to steer them to rehabilitation centres and a productive life. Opponents of safe injection sites wonder why their tax dollars should support drug use or as one says: “Why should I help anybody stupid enough to take drugs?” Safe injection sites supervise the use and provide immediate care and treatment if an overdose happens. The frequent mixture of deadly fentanyl with illicit drugs has made safe injections sites necessary in some eyes. Instead of dying alone or being left to die by a fellow user scared of the law, the site offers treatment. The sites allow a trust to build between users and counsellors that can lead to rehab and ending drug use. The loss of trust in elders and peer pressure leads people to drug use with often bright young people starting use as an experiment. The legalization of cannabis, or marijuana, is a step in the same direction as safe injection sites. The concepts behind regulated cannabis stores are: a) to

develop a safe supply; b) one product line so store operators will not be enticing customers to try stronger deadlier drugs; c) to slow down the growth for illegal drug suppliers; d) a source of tax revenue for government. Changing the public mindset against safe injection sites won’t be easy. It will be about as easy as changing all male attitudes to gender equality and freedom from the gropers. That should explain why the premier sloughs off a question on support for safe injection sites in the face of a rapid increase in overdoses this year of 114 in October from 52 only 10 years ago. While a Saskatchewan Coroner’s report notes 82 of the deaths have been in Regina and Saskatoon, Moose Jaw has had two, Briercrest had one and many small communities are on the list.

Newcomer Centre shares tips for handling cold weather as winter weather hits Larissa Kurz

The Newcomer Welcome Centre in Moose Jaw shared some tips for navigating the chilly Saskatchewan winter, just in time for a weekend onslaught of snow and cold. For many residents, this winter may be the first time they experience snow and icy temperatures for themselves, so the settlement workers from the Moose Jaw Multicultural Centre put together a short video with some helpful details people need to outfit themselves properly. The video began with a list of appropriate winter clothing, which is the first line of defence against cold weather. It’s important to cover all the important extremities, including a toque covering the ears, gloves or mittens for the hands, thick socks for the feet and a scarf to protect the face and neck. Next on the shopping list should be a sturdy pair of boots with non-slip tread, a lined jacket large enough to wear layers underneath, and a pair of insulated snow pants. When purchasing winter clothing, it's important to look for some key characteristics. Items that are insulated or thermal are best, and a lining of fleece will help trap warmth inside. Waterproof is another useful thing to look for, as once mittens or other fabric items are wet and exposed to the cold, they’re no longer protective. Some winter clothing items will even have a temperature rating, which shows what temperature that item is effective as protection. Winter clothing can be found in a few places in Moose Jaw, including Wal-Mart, Sport Chek, Giant Tiger, Superstore and the Salvation Army.

Preparing appropriately for the cold is extremely important, as temperatures in Saskatchewan can dip low enough to cause serious injuries like hypothermia, frostbite and even dehydration. The video explained how to identify each of these cold-related illnesses, as well as how wind chill can make the temperature feel even colder. Frostbite and hypothermia can happen much quicker in colder temperatures, especially when the wind chill makes things colder. It also explained how to judge what level of winter clothing is appropriate for the day’s forecast, and that residents should always check the weather conditions before heading out in winter weather. Dress warmer if you plan to be outside for a longer amount of time, said the video, and make sure to consider the expected temperature and activity level during the outing — more movement creates more body heat, and keeps a person warmer under those layers of clothing. There’s a few other important winter-related tips that new residents should know: school busses don’t run when the

temperature dips to -40 degrees, keep an extra pair of mittens on hand in case yours get wet while outside, and layers of clothing are the best way to dress for cold winter days. But once residents are prepared and safely dressed, there’s plenty of fun to be had during the winter. Moose Jaw offers lots of activities once the snow hits the ground, including outdoor ice skating at the oval in Wakamow Valley, sledding on the hill near Vanier Collegiate, curling at Mosaic Place or cross-country skiing in the river valley after renting equipment from Boh’s Cycle. The trails at Buffalo Pound are also good for winter hikes, as long as you bring a hot drink, and Buffalo Pound Lake is a good place to try ice fishing. There’s also plenty of fun to be had just playing in the snow — making snowmen or building snow forts, as the limit is really only about imagination. The Newcomer Centre encourages new residents to reach out for more advice on navigating winter weather or information on how to get involved in some winter activities. The Newcomer Centre is also a helpful resource for new residents looking for help with housing, employment and other questions and concerns about joining the community. The centre is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and can be reached at 1 (306) 692-6892 or at mjmcgateway@mjmcinc.ca.

National coalition calling on government to declare Louis Riel innocent Larissa Kurz

A number of Metis leaders joined together for a virtual press conference this morning to announce they are calling on the federal government to exonerate Metis leader Louis Riel, in advance of the 135th anniversary of Riel’s hanging. Several individuals spoke during the conference, including Paulette Dugay, president of the Union Nationale Métisse Saint-Joseph du Manitoba, who wrote Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller to make the formal request. “The death of Louis Riel is the source of deep division in Canadian society and has led to a profound sense of injustice among the Metis people which still echoes today,” said Duguay, in an official press release. Riel was hanged for treason in 1885, after leading the Metis people during the Northwest Rebellion. Leaders in the coalition said that Riel’s trial was unjust, based on a law that was not applicable in Canada, and deserves the attention of the

federal government. The Union Nationale Métisse Saint-Joseph du Manitoba had previously presented the exoneration request back in 2017, followed by an expression of support from Montreal mayor Denis Coderre, which was ultimately denied. Senator Marilou McPhedran expressed her support for the demand during the recent conference, and the city council in Montreal has also tabled a motion asking the city to also formally endorse the demand. The campaign is hoping the federal government will reconsider the request in light of the 135th-anniversary date and following the previous exoneration of Chief Poundmaker granted in 2019. “We talk a lot about reconciliation and for the Metis people, it feels like it hasn’t gone anywhere, like it's stalled,” said Keith Henry, president of the B.C. Metis Federation. “We’re pushing to exonerate Louis Riel because it feels like an injus-

tice.” Henry said that because Riel is an important figure not only in Metis history, but in the history of Confederation as someone who fought for human rights for all Canadians, his current status as a traitor undermines his accomplishments and role as the founder of Manitoba. Canada has recognized Riel’s contributions to Canada and the Metis people, said the coalition, and exoneration would further impress upon Metis communities that the federal government is committed to reconciliation and repairing its relationship with all Indigenous populations. “Canada has lacked diligence in addressing the [reconciliation] demands of the Metis,” said Rotrand. “We believe this important gesture can help move forward a more fruitful relationship between Canada and the Metis.” With the letter sent, the campaign is looking for a response from the federal government in time for the anniversary

Pense Rink succeeds in raising $300K for upgrades after Hockeyville bid Larissa Kurz

costs once construction gets underway in the early spring, so they aren’t calling it quits on fundraisers. “It's sort of like trying to go in and do a bathroom renovation. You’re going to start with one thing and something might sort of creep up on you, so we want to prepare for that,” said Barnard. Pense Rink recently took part in the Clean Feilds, Community Yeilds contest from the FMC, which is offering a $5,000 bonus donation to a deserving community project. The results have not yet been shared. But regardless of what the future may Pense Memorial Rink. (supplied via Facebook) Although Pense, Sask. didn’t quite secure the title of Kraft Hockeyville 2020 earlier this year, the small town has seen an enormous rallying of support since their bid for the title that has helped their fundraising dreams come true anyway. Organizers of the fundraiser for Pense Memorial Rink announced that they have raised the initial goal of $300,000 needed to replace the ageing brine piping system in the rink, ensuring that the community’s beloved ice will be sticking around for years to come. The rink’s brine piping system is over 30 years old and rink board member Leah Barnard said it is necessary to keep both the main rink and curling rink facilities operational — which means a lot to the hockey players, ice skaters, curlers and more in Saskatchewan. “The arena sits pretty well dead centre in southern Saskatchewan, [and] it's not just for us, in our community,” said Barnard. “We have renters come out and use our ice from Regina, from Moose Jaw, lots of different areas, and so it's really important that we keep going and keep the facility open not just for our community, but for everybody else as well.” Pense Rink’s journey started back in August, with the announcement that the small town of under 600 people had been named in the top four finalists for the Kraft Hockeyville contest. After a whirlwind of media appearances and support, Pense emerged from the contest with no title and a consolation prize of $25,000 — but that was just the beginning, said Barnard. The disappointment of losing didn’t last very long, as the hard-fought campaign brought tons of attention to Pense’s cause.

“Less than 24 hours later, we had Brett Wilson sort of start everything by making a donation and matching that $25,000. And from that point on, it just sort of exploded, with not only the province rallying behind us with making donations, but a lot of Eastern Canada,” said Barnard. She said that the committee was receiving calls from as far away as Newfoundland, where winning Kraft Hockeyville town Twillingate is located, with folks reaching out to offer donations and support the rink’s GoFundMe campaign. “Even not coming out on top [in the contest], we still feel like winners after the fact,” said Barnard. “The sort of inside joke was, sometimes maybe being on top isn’t always the number one spot, and we learned that very quickly with all the support we have seen.” When the dust settled, the rink had collected $280,000 for its repairs, just under the price tag provided to them in a quote for the work. Then, on Oct. 26, Pense Rink shared some more great news. Prior to all the Hockeyville mania, the Pense rink committee had submitted a grant application to the Richardson Foundation, working with staff from local Richardson Pioneer locations. That grant was approved, offering another $30,000 to put Pense over the threshold of their goal. “That just gave us the last little bit of a boost to basically hit our first goal, and so now we’re at $301,000,” said Barnard. Moving forward, Barnard said that the committee is hoping to keep up the momentum. The initial replacement quote for the work is over two years old, and Pense Rink is expecting some additional

bring, Barnard and the committee at Pense Rink are extremely pleased with the success of the Hockeyville campaign. “We’re obviously very thankful for everything that has taken place and like I said, this wasn’t just our community who rallied with us. It was Saskatchewan as a whole, and then it turned into all of Canada,” said Barnard. “The people who voted for us, the people who made donations, we saw it from every single province and the number one thing [for us] is making sure everyone knows how appreciative we are.”

Well, by Friday when the final ballots are counted, our newly elected city council will be officially declared. Congratulations to all the candidates for putting your names forward in this election and to those who were voted in to serve the community for the next four years. Democracy has spoken and although Joan Ritchie some decisions will be made that EDITOR don’t please everyone, those who came out to mark their ballots have exercised their right for the governance of their choice. Over the past tenure of local government, many individuals have raised their voices in concern over ‘closed door’ meetings and the many decisions that have affected the taxpayers without public consultation. It certainly isn’t that the general public doesn’t understand that council has the right to hold closed-door meetings for ‘sensitive’ information disclosed, but rather that decisions were made and mandated that ultimately affect us all as taxpayers without the community being allowed to speak forth in open debate. It’s much easier to swallow decisions that are hard to digest if there is the ability to speak forth to it and then agree to disagree, but when individuals are not allowed a voice and have to swallow what is pushed down their throats, that doesn’t appear to be democracy working at its best. I certainly hope that those who have been elected will make an effort to bend their ears to hear what the citizens’ they represent are saying…

Moose Jaw Toastmasters Clubs keep on keeping on in era of COVID-19 Weekly Zoom meetings helping continue work to improve speaking - and help follow motto of ‘Where Leaders are Made’. Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Like every organization in the era of COVID-19, the two Moose Jaw Toastmasters clubs have been doing their part to stay active despite pandemic restrictions. They’ve managed to almost create a ‘business as usual’ atmosphere through their meetings, using the wildly popular Zoom app to gather virtually, refine their speaking abilities and just generally have fun. Al Doucette is the president of the Big Country Toastmasters, who meet every Wednesday night in the virtual arena. The Toastmasters at Palliser club are just as active, holding their meetings on Tuesday nights. And with what he’s seen so far, there’s been plenty of adaptation to the unique format. While many are familiar with the basic premise of Toastmasters - learning to speak in public - the club brings a lot more to the table, especially when it comes to building confidence and learning solid communication skills. That’s where one of their main mottos comes into play: Where Leaders are Made. “It’s more than just speeches; it’s more than learning how to speak to groups,” Doucette said. “Not only by taking on leadership in the executive of the club, but also through communication. A good communicator is a good leader and a good leader is a good communicator. But then, at the same time, it involves public speaking and learning how to speak effectively.” Meetings for both clubs start at 7 p.m. sharp, with Zoom doors opening at around 6:30 p.m. Even though everything is online, the clubs still follow the traditional meeting pattern: a Toastmaster is in charge of the meeting, a grammarian will help with grammar during speeches and also provides the ‘word of the day’ that speakers will try and use as much as possible. You’ll have your Table Topics master, who will help everyone learn to speak on a wide range of subjects, usually featuring a unique and fun topic. “It really gives you the ability to speak right off the cuff,” Doucette explained. “Say the boss comes up to you and there’s a conversation you’re involved in, and they look at you and say ‘what do you think’ and it’s ‘uh, uh, uh’. To avoid that, it’s something we practice in Toastmasters.”

“Democracy is a small, hard core of common agreement, surrounded by a rich variety of individual differences.” —James B. Conant

PEO Chapter A-SK Grant Recipient

No matter what the outcome of the election, we will continue to be a voice for the people of Moose Jaw and hold city council/city hall accountable for decisions made without allowing the community to speak to the issues at hand. As some individuals have accused our publication of having a bias against city council, let me affirm, we do not have a personal vendetta against anyone on council or at city hall but rather direct pointed questions and considerations that apparently they take as criticisms. Maybe a little more open communication would assist in allowing a better relationship all around!

Moose Jaw P.E.O. Chapter A-SK is proud to announce that Courtney Bell has received the PCE Grant for the amount of $2000. Courtney is currently enrolled in the Faculty of Education at the University of Regina, and her is goal is to work with children who have intellectual disabilities. The P.E.O. Program for Continuing Education (PCE) is a need based grant for women who find it necessary to return to school to complete a degree that will improve their marketable skills for employment. Congratulations Courtney!

Toastmasters from the District 42 area -- which includes Moose Jaw -- come from all walks of life and include CEOs and corporate leaders to regular folks just looking to pick up on some new skills. “It’s an eclectic group of people, some of whom are very, very experienced in what they do,” Doucette said. Should you fall into the whole thing and become a member, there’s all sorts of directions you can take with your Toastmasters’ journey. “We call it Pathways,” Doucette explained. “There are 10 paths you can take and each of the paths have five or six levels, and you can choose whatever one you want. You can choose leadership, speaking better or speaking humourously, or anything else you might be interested in. “Toastmasters is literally for everybody, there’s something for everybody.” For more on the local clubs, including info on how to join their Zoom meetings, visit Big Country Toastmasters at bigcountry.toastmastersclubs.org/ and Toastmasters at Palliser at tap.toastmastersclubs.org/

City Hall Employees Make Food and Cash Donations To Food Bank

On November 4, City of Moose Jaw employees donated food and money to the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank. The donations were the result of two separate initiatives: The City’s Recruitment, Retention and Recognition Committee (RRRC) raised $1,315.00 from the annual ‘Dress Down’ program and this year the committee chose the Food Bank as the charity of choice. Additionally, the City’s Finance/Treasury dept. initiated a food drive and challenged all City Hall employees to contribute. The result was 637 pounds of non-perishable food items, which were delivered to the Food Bank, along with the RRRC donation.

Prairie Volks keeping the spirit of the legendary Beetle alive Local Volkswagen car club features a host of iconic Bugs - including one with a famous paint scheme Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The iconic brand of car with the unique body style, simplistic engine design and all-around ‘cool’ factor Volkswagen Beetle has kept the little car as a head-turner since it was first introduced to the public in the 1930s. The ‘car of the people’ changed little in the ensuing years, eventually seeing a massive surge in North American popularity in the 1960s. All told, over 21 million Beetles were sold throughout the world by the time production ended in 2003, and now you can find car enthusiasts all over the globe keeping their spirit alive. The Prairie Volks here in Moose Jaw are one of those clubs. Featuring around 20 Beetles and a handful of VW Buses locally, you can see them out touring around on nice summer days, showing off their mint-condition vehicles at car shows or even just meeting up in the Town ‘N’ Country Mall parking lot on a random weekend. Kelly and Laurie Wiens are the owners of one of those Beetles - and they’ve taken an extra step to make it unique, decking the car out in the paint scheme and familiar 53 of the famous ‘Herbie the Love Bug’ movies from the late 70s and early 80s. “I’ve always liked the Volkswagen because they’re neat cars, she had one when she was 16 and that was when we actually

Just a few of the Volkswagen Beetles that are part of the Prairie Volks club. got together, I kind of liked the car too,” said Kelly of how the love affair with the VW brand started. “Then we ended up going to a Volkswagen car show in Vancouver, it was strictly Volkswagens, and on the way home we found one on the internet and stopped at Drumheller and bought that one.” They had the 1966 Beetle for a couple of years before deciding to switch it to the famous livery. “We changed it to Herbie this spring,” Laurie said, adding that it was something to give the car a fun new look. And if you think they turned heads before when they were driving around, it’s that much better now.

“You get a lot of smiles when people see you,” Laurie said with a laugh. The Wiens’ dedication to the Beetle isn’t a unique situation for the Prairie Volks. The group’s Facebook page has hundreds of members, with some like Harley and Michelle Gallant owning multiple versions of the cars at any one time and having been through dozens of variants in their lifetime. One of the reasons for the popularity outside of their admittedly cute look - is the sheer number of them that can be found. And if you put time and dedication into making your Beetle or Bus as ideal as possible, you could land yourself a heck

of a windfall. “There were so many of them made, they were one of the most popular cars made back in Germany in the day, but the thing is the value of them has gone through the roof,” Kelly explained. “We’ve been to Scottsdale (for the legendary Barrett-Jackson car auction) and some of the Buses go for $100,000 or more. It’s amazing.” And with so many of the cars having hit the market, keeping a Beetle running - even one from the 60s, the most popular North American era for the vehicle - isn’t all that difficult. Their simple systems and small air-cooled engines certainly help in that direction. “And they’re easy to get the parts for them, you can get almost anything you need for them online,” Laurie said. “They’re a basic car to work on, too, they’re fairly easy,” added Kelly. “I’m not a mechanic, but I’ve rebuilt the motor in mine and we’ve done some some other work on it ourselves” all with the idea of keeping their car as stock as possible even with the movie paint work.

The topic at hand during this session will be highlighting the important aspects of an individual’s mental health and how to make improvements with activities and therapies — a topic relevant due to the increasing strain on mental health due to COVID-19. The MJPL is also hosting two book clubs in November featuring two new titles, available to borrow from the library itself or as eBooks through online services including Library2Go, Libby or Hoopla. The Library book club will meet on Nov. 18 at 7:30 p.m. to discuss The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty, which follows the story of a woman who unearths a letter from her late husband that unearths a secret that could change everything. On Nov. 26, the Festival of Words Book Club will meet at 2:30 p.m. to discuss Home Ice: Reflections of a Reluctant Hockey Mom by Moose Jaw-born author Angie Abdou — who is expected to join in for part of the session. Abdou’s book offers her perspective of amateur hockey as a parent, and touches on topics like athleticism, sexism, racism and hockey cul-

Young man’s life cut down on the battlefields of Europe Article courtesy David Morgan/InsideCroydon.com

William Dowden was one of many residents from Croydon, England, in the early 20th century who never lived to see his future in his native country. Like many, he was excited to move somewhere in the Empire and take up new opportunities there. He decided on Canada and ended up farming in Saskatchewan. But those hopes of a new life changed in August 1914 with the start of the Great War. Rallying to help his old country, the following April, Dowden joined up. We do not know the year he immigrated to Canada, but we know he had some military training and experience while still in Croydon. His attestation papers stated that he spent five years in the 4th Queen’s Territorials, based in Surrey. The book Croydon in the Great War states that William’s parents, Felix and Sarah Dowden, lived at 93 Waddon Road, and that William attended the Parish Church School. After leaving school, he began working for a gas and hot water fitter.

“The boy from Croydon saw a future in the West, but it was snatched from him in the mud of the Somme. He died for other people’s futures.” The Friendly City Dowden enlisted in the magnificently named Saskatchewan town of Moose Jaw and was one of thousands who arrived in the area seeking a new life. The population increased from 1,600 in 1901 to 17,000 by 1917. In his papers, Dowden gave his occupation as a farmer. Travelling into Moose Jaw to sign up changed his life. Dowden was sent to a training camp for the Canadian Overseas Expeditionary Force with the 46th Battalion. On his pay chart, it states he was paid $15 a month from April 1915 until Oct. 22, when the unit sailed for Europe. On arrival, the Canadians travelled to Dibgate Camp, Shorncliffe, in Kent, England. The first months of training passed uneventfully for Dowden, but life became messy after Christmas 1915. Maybe the impending transfer to the Western Front was on his mind. On Jan. 3, 1916, he was punished for being absent without leave for seven days. He forfeited eight days’ pay. Where did he go? Did he go to Croydon to see his family? Sanctioned for drunkenness Then on Jan. 15, Dowden was found drunk on parade. He was put into detention for 24 hours and fined $2. Four days later, on Jan. 19, Dowden and his unit sailed for France. Once at the Canadian Base Camp, he and his unit were transferred to the 28th Battalion. He and his unit eventually arrived at the front on Feb. 4. On March 31, Dowden was given 14 days’ field punishment for being AWOL from 6 p.m. March 27 until 8:30 p.m. March 27 — a whole two-and-a-half hours. He was also charged with drunkenness. The maximum number of days a commanding officer could give as a punishment was 28. Dowden would have been shackled both by leg and arm but would still have been able to move around. Nothing more appears on Dowden’s service record until his death. He died of his wounds at the 44th Casualty Clearing Station (CCS) on Sept. 17, 1916. He was 31. This was in the area of

Photo courtesy InsideCroydon.com the Somme. At that time, the 44th CCS was situated at Puchevillers, France. A grim fight Captain Rev. Leonard Pearson was a chaplain at the 44th. He painted a grim picture of what things were like at that time. “I spent most of my time giving anaesthestics. I had no right to be doing this, of course, but we were simply so rushed,” he said. “We couldn’t get the wounded into the hospital quickly enough, and the journey from the battlefield was terrible for those poor lads. “If they had to wait their turn in the normal way until the surgeon was able to perform an operation with another doctor giving the anaesthetic, it would have been too late for many of them. As it was, many died. We all simply had to help and do anything that was needed,” he continued. “I did a lot of stretcher-help. I also helped to strip men of their filthy uniforms. We had to cut them off with scissors, and there were some nights that we cut and cut until our fingers were simply raw. We had over a thousand beds, and half the time, it wasn’t enough.” First use of tanks What a picture he paints of where Dowden died. The Croydon man is buried in the cemetery at Puchevillers. He is simply recorded as Private W. Dowden 426957, 28th Battalion Canadian Infantry (Saskatchewan Regiment) 17th Sept 1916. He was wounded as the Canadians fought in the Battle of Flers-Courcelette, which began on Sept. 15. They attacked the village of Courcelette with the aid of three tanks, the first time the machines had ever been used on the battlefield. We will never know the pressures Dowden felt that caused him to behave as he did in the days and weeks before and after he arrived on the Western Front. He wasn’t the only one. Iron discipline was the response from the army to anyone who didn’t toe the line. The boy from Croydon saw a future in the West, but it was snatched from him in the mud of the Somme. He died for other people’s futures. His name is written on the Parish Roll of Honour inside Croydon Minster. This article is courtesy InsideCroydon. com.

The Polish Air Force - The Battle of Britain - The AVRO Arrow By Richard Dowson, Moose Jaw

“Never in the history of mankind has so much been owed by so many to so few,” Winston Churchill, reference to the Battle of Britain; speech to Parliament, August 20, 1940. The Battle of Britain, July 10 to October 31, 1940, is celebrated each year on September 15. It is usually considered a British RAF ‘Show.’ Although totally under RAF control, at least 20% of the fighter pilots were from other countries, including Canada. Also playing a big part were 145 well trained Polish Air Force pilots. Most flew with different RAF Squadrons but 66 Polish Airmen flew in either 302 or 303 (Polish) Fighter Squadrons. Because of his last name, Flt. Lt. Zygmunt Witymir Bieńkowski became ‘Bing Crosby.’ Poland was attacked on the west by Nazi Germany on September 3, 1939 and on September 17, 1939 by the Soviet Union on the East. The fight was lost. Many Polish airmen made their way to France where the PAF re-emerged. Others went to the U.K. where they ‘connected with the RAF.’ When France was over-run in May 1941 airmen and ground crews moved to England where a Polish government in Exile was created. By June 1940 there were more than 2000 Polish air personnel in Britain. Polish who arrive in Britain in December 1939 and on, were re-trained. They took English lessons, learned British Imperial measurements instead of metric and that a Pilot pushed the throttle forward, not backward, to increase speed. And the Poles learned quickly.

Flight Lieutenant Zygmunt Witymir Bieńkowski Flight Lieutenant Zygmunt Witymir Bieńkowski escaped from Poland, going south to Romania while the Nazis and the Soviet Union pushed into Poland, dividing the

country among themselves. He picked up his flying in France and then evacuated to England, where he flew in the Battle of Britain. During his time in England he became friendly with American pilots who renamed him ‘Bing Crosby’ because it sounded like his last name. In July 1941 he joined Polish RAF 303 Squadron as a fighter pilot. In January 1945 he took command of Polish RAF 302 Squadron. He was shot down on February 24, 1945 and taken prisoner. He remained in England after the War and died in London in August, 1979.

Sergeant Pilot Antoni Glowacki The Polish were superb fighter pilots. Sergeant Pilot Antoni Glowacki of 501 Squadron, RAF became an Ace in one day by shooting down 5 German airplanes on August 24, 1940. He rose in rank, survived the War and was credited with 8.5 aircraft destroyed. After hostilities moved to New Zealand and joined the RNZAF. He died in 1980.

Squadron Leader Witold Urbanowicz Squadron Leader Witold Urbanowicz had an incredible career with 20 aircraft shot down, 17 in the Battle of Britain and 3 Japanese aircraft while flying with the Flying Tigers in China. After the Battle of Britain Witold moved to the United States where he taught Fighter

Tactics to men of the USAAF. From there he signed on with the Flying Tigers of the United States Army Air Force in the fall of 1943 and flew against the Japanese in China. He was the only non-American in the Unit, flying a P-40 Warhawk. After the War he settled in the eastern United States working in the airline industry. When the Communist Government of Poland fell in 1991 he returned home. In 1996 he was appointed an honorary General in the Polish Air Force. He died in New York in August 1996.

Janusz Zurakowski, Britain of Britain Hero – Famous Canadian Test Pilot Janusz Zurakowski, (1914-2004) a pilot in

the Polish Air Force, escaped the invasion of Poland and make his way to England by way of Romania and France. After ‘conversion training’ he was posted as a Pilot Officer to RAF Squadron 152 and later moved to 234 Squadron, RAF. He also flew with 315 Polish Squadron, RAF and 316 Polish Squadron, RAF, reaching the rank of Squadron Leader (Major). After the War he remained in the RAF for a few years and then became a cicilian Test Pilot. He was known for his aerobatic flying, once ‘cart-wheeling’ a Glouster Meteor. In 1952 he and his family moved to Canada where he worked as a Test Pilot for the A. V. Roe Company at Malton, Ontario. He broke the Sound Barrier in a CF-100 in level flight. Jan Zurakowski took on his greatest challenge and his place in Canadian Aviation History in 1958 when he became the Test Pilot for the AVRO Arrow. When the program was killed in 1959 he retired from aviation and built Kartuzy Lodge at Barry’s Bay, Ontario. He remained there the rest of his life pursuing hobbies, running the lodge and using his engineering know-how building boats. He died there in February 2004 – a life well lived.

BIZWORLD By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Pandemic waves will create long lasting effect on our lives

When the coronavirus pandemic began almost a year ago leaders around the world suggested this would have run its course by year end with a possible second wave of illness after that. How wrong they were! Nobody knew then and nobody knows now how long this virus will continue plaguing nations around the world. One thing is certain. The virus will have deep and long lasting impacts on our lives and the economy. A recent CIBC bank poll on retirement lifts the veil partially on the impact of this disease. Four in 10 respondents said the pandemic has affected their retirement plans causing a changed vision of postwork life. Almost one in three no longer plan on travel, or travelling as much as they had planned. Thirty per cent believe they will have to work longer than planned before retiring. And 26 per cent believe the pandemic has increased the cost of retirement. Of those who planned to downsize their houses, 40 per cent are unsure what to do. This poll just shows the impact on retirement plans. Another poll indicated 30 per cent of Canadians feel they

won’t be able to make up losses in income from the pandemic. This virus is having long-term health impacts on numerous people who get the disease, impacts that affect their ability to be productive and earn income. Of course there are structural impacts to the way we work and live from the increased work-from-home movement and the impact on the need for office space to the explosion in online purchases and the higher demand for product fulfilment centres and delivery services. The workplace and the market place, will never be the same. Some estimates indicate up to one-third of office space will become unnecessary. The work-from-home increase has already affected real estate with buyers leaving large cities for smaller, safer centres and more lot space. Eventually this factor will impact overpriced real estate in large cities. The pandemic has revealed weak spots in some industries, most notably in the labour-intensive sectors of farming and in food processing. The inability to get immigrant workers cleared and into Canada on time caused many vegetable farmers to re-

duce plantings. Once the immigrant workers were here the poor, crowded housing conditions — a situation that has been a dirty little secret — exposed the workers to outbreaks of the virus. Harvest was a similar situation. Food processors, pork and beef plants, were forced to declare partial or full plant closures as workers came down en masse with the virus. Their response has been to try and automate the process. Food retailers found ways to sanitize that should have been common before the outbreak. Health care is another sector where the pandemic exposed weakness from not enough staff to underpaid staff to poor infection controls to weak inspection to use of part-time employees who can become infection spreaders. Undoubtedly, more weak spots will be exposed by the second and possible subsequent waves. Ron Walter can be reached at ronjoy@sasktel.net

Terry Fox Run raises $3,520 in Moose Jaw Virtual event proves plenty successful in spite of COVID-19 changes Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the 40th annual Terry Fox Run to go into a completely virtual arena, there was some question as to whether or not the event would be much of a success. Would people still go for a run or walk and donate to the Marathon of Hope when there was no actual physical event to be had? What kind of support would there be for a virtual event, where participants were encouraged to donate online and head out on their own on Sept. 20? And would everyone remember Terry Fox’s legendary journey 40 years on, when so much has happened in over the span of a tough year? The answer to every question -- and especially in Moose Jaw -- was overwhelmingly positive. All told, the local edition of the virtual run would raise $3,520 in support of the Terry Fox Foundation, and to top it off, the total was $300 more than the $3,197.05 raised in 2019. “I’m blown away by the generosity of Moose Javians,” said Craig Hemingway, organizer of the Moose Jaw Terry Fox Run. “It is a fitting tribute to Terry Fox’s legacy that on the 40th anniversary of his Marathon of Hope, Moose Javians overcame some obstacles and raised the bar in terms of fundraising.” Terry Fox Run events are 100% volunteer-driven, and 79 cents from every dollar raised goes directly to cancer research.

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS

Oh happy days: paving crew hard at work during Phase Five

Joyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express ronjoy@sasktel.net

There was a neighbourhood urge to dance in the street the other day as crews finished the final strip of paving on our block and ended nearly two months of water main replacement dis-

turbance. This euphoria wasn’t so much related to the fact our water mains and other connections were now brand new but to the fact we could once again park in our driveways or in front of our homes — who would ever think how closely we had become attached to those pieces of concrete until they were no longer available to our vehicles. Our block was not the first to be part of the city’s replacement program but not until that first hole was dug did we accept that we would be in turmoil over a period of weeks and months. After winter snow had melted and COVID-19 had shut down the city, the

schedule of this year’s water main project was revealed on April 8 and I read with dismay that our avenue, from Oxford to MacDonald would be included in this year’s Phase Five. Missing in the schedule was a starting date. Missing in the schedule was a finishing date. Tenders were extended to April 16. Because there is a school in our neighborhood, the suspicion was that work on this street would be done in the early days of the phase, maybe late May or June, July or at the latest, early August. The thought process was that school was out during those months and wouldn’t it make sense to have the work finished so back-toschool would not be disrupted by detours and large equipment. Alas, COVID-19 forced the cancellation of public information meetings, leaving residents to get details via websites and mailouts. Still we had questions: when will we have to move our cars off the street? No one who should have known did know. And so we waited through May, June, July and August, until finally on Aug. 31, the employees of the contractor began showing up to provide temporary water connections and to advise residents that we

wouldn’t be charged for use of the water while those connections were in place — a bonus in the midst of construction frenzy. Those employees of NIS Contractors and sub-contractors very kindly answered all my questions and surely by the time they moved on to the next block likely dreaded the sight of me heading their way. I’m sure they said to themselves and each other: “Oh no, here comes that old lady again. Why doesn’t she just walk down the back alley instead of coming this way to ask questions?” But regardless of their private thoughts, they were congenial and politely listened to my questions and attempts to find out things from them. At the outset the timeline offered by a very polite employee was that we should look at Thanksgiving as the end date for our block. He didn’t specify Canadian or the United States Thanksgiving so when ours came and went, it appeared that he meant the November date. But no, on Oct. 30 the “street closed” barricade on Oxford was changed to “local traffic only” and our cars made the trek up the avenue to our respective driveways and in-front-of-house parking. No longer do we have to trudge two or

Moose Jaw ranked 51st nationally in 2019 in crime rate, data shows Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express Statistics Canada has released data ranking Canadian municipalities on the Crime Severity Index (CSI) for 2019, with Moose Jaw placing 51st out of 324 communities with a population greater than 10,000. The index refers to a measure of police-reported crime that reflects the seriousness — violent or non-violent — of individual offences, tracks changes in crime severity, and gives a weighted rating to each incident. For example, a minor theft could be rated a one and a murder could be rated 1,000. Nationally, Thompson, Man., placed first with an overall CSI ranking of 501.89. The first Saskatchewan community on the list was Prince Albert in sixth with a CSI score of 279.58, while Regina was 36th, Saskatoon was 37th, and Moose Jaw was 51st with a score of 110.35. Provincially, that means Moose Jaw was fourth in the CSI ranking. “We have started diving into (the numbers). We noticed that the crime severity index has decreased to some degree in 2019, which we’re pleased about,” said Deputy Chief Rick Johns, adding it’s encouraging to see the numbers decrease from 2018 to 2019, especially since the community was ranked 32nd two years ago. The Statistics Canada report for 2019 shows Moose Jaw’s overall CSI ranking of 110.35 is a decrease from 121.40 two years ago or a drop of 9.1 per cent. Broken down, the community’s violent CSI ranking was 89.18 — a decrease from 100.64, or 11.39 per cent — and its non-violent CSI ranking was 117.71, a decrease from 128.58, or 8.45 per cent.

three blocks to find our vehicles, then stand in confusion when the vehicle isn’t where we thought we had parked it. No, there it is over another block where that guy told me not to park, that I had taken his spot on what I replied was a very public street. He moved. I didn’t then fumed when a spot closer to home opened up as I limped by with bags of stuff in my arms, purse over my shoulder and cane tapping on the uneven ground. I won the short-term battle but the parking game played on. And so, the urge to dance in the street lingers, but as traffic becomes heavier I’ll just wiggle with excitement as I step out of the house and into my vehicle. Just imagine all the stories I will have to tell about Phase Five and all that free water!

Juno Beach By Garth Paul Ukrainetz

Johns could only speculate about why the municipality’s CSI data had decreased, but suggested the positive efforts of the Moose Jaw Police Service’s Police and Crisis Team (PACT) are one reason. He pointed out that, in certain situations, there is value to have a mental health worker operating with a police officer. These interventions sometimes help reduce violent situations. Anecdotally, Johns knows that residents who have had contact with PACT members have had positive interactions and outcomes. “There may have been a correlation there. We’ve also had some ongoing enforcement with illicit drug trafficking and had some success in (addressing) that,” he continued. “That may have something to do with it. We’re going to continue to monitor the trends and see if that continues over the coming years.” While Moose Jaw’s overall CSI value decreased in 2019, it has increased since 2013, according to data from the police service. From 2013 to 2018, the values were 98, 91, 99, 116, 107, and 121. The community’s violent CSI ranking has also been on the rise. From 2013 to 2018, the values were 45, 57, 69, 84, 73, and 100. It’s too soon to tell how Moose Jaw’s CSI for 2020 looks, especially since this year is somewhat of an anomaly due to the pandemic, added Johns. There have also been effects on residents’ finances and mental health, so he thought it would be interesting to see how the data looked next year.

Hot Pressure Washers!! Business owner devastated that pandemic forced her to close Jason G. Antonio

Business owner Cher Riendeau is devastated that she has been forced to close her business, especially since she was looking forward to having her granddaughter work with her. Riendeau operated Cher’s Beauty Boutique and Body Contouring for five years, with the past few years at 103 Main Street North. The shop provided shoes, wigs, clothing, eyelash extensions, laser services and other accessories. However, Oct. 27 was the last time the doors were open for business, as Riendeau, her husband, and movers cleaned out the space on Oct. 30. “This is a really hard time for me,” Riendeau said mournfully. The main reason Riendeau closed her shop is that the pandemic killed her business, she explained. She also faced changes with her building accommodations that prevented her from earning additional income. She was able to struggle through for a few months, but the obstacles became too much. “It’s like a kick in the teeth,” she said. “If there’s no money coming … (in) this whole thing, I pretty much lost my shirt.” The boutique offered something for everyone, Riendeau said. She had many

Cher Riendeau stands inside her nearly-empty business on Main Street on Oct. 30. The pandemic is the main reason she shut down Cher’s Beauty Boutique and Body Contouring. Photo by Jason G. Antonio customers from throughout Saskatchewan and Manitoba come to see her during the last few weeks to say goodbye, with seven customers breaking down emotionally since no other business carries what Cher’s Boutique did. “It was a really hard decision to make, but the thought of hanging in there and just continuing to go into debt wasn’t an option either,” she remarked.

Riendeau invested $40,000 into her store over the years, she said. If she ever restarts her business, she would purchase her building to make life easier. The one service Riendeau will continue to offer is her laser clinic, which will operate at Essential Elements and Metaphysical gift store at 134 Main Street North. Riendeau said it was heartbreaking to close since her granddaughter is going to school to become a hairdresser. She graduates next July and would have worked in the back room. Almost no federal or provincial grants existed for Riendeau to pursue that could have saved her business, she continued. There was one federal grant of $700 and a similarly small provincial grant, but neither would have helped her. This frustrat-

ed her since bigger businesses were eligible for large grants, while smaller shops were forced to close and were left hanging with no support. Riendeau acknowledged that she could have sought a bank loan, but she pointed out there was no guarantee she would have received one. It would also have been difficult to pay it back since there has been almost no business. “Everybody’s suffering down here,” she chuckled ruefully. “I would have gave anything for this not to happen. I thought (of) 15 million different ways I could do something different or I could try and keep going, but (the) government’s been pushing for online shopping and a lot of people (don’t sell online, including her).” Riendeau was also disappointed that big box stores could keep their clothing and jewelry departments open because they also sell food. She thought they should have been forced to remove those items since the coronavirus could have affected those items just like in a small business. “It made no sense for us being shut down. We have more control coming through our doors than Walmart does coming through their doors,” she continued. Small businesses won’t survive a second shutdown since they don’t have the financial backing, said Riendeau. It’s a little easier to thrive when a business owns its building, but it’s more difficult to rent or lease. “I don’t know what to say; it’s heartbreaking … ,” she added. “I’m crushed right now.”

COVID-19 and The Spanish Flu of 1918-1919: A Comparison Submitted by Marc Legare The Spanish Flu of 1918-1919 was considered the worst pandemic in recent history. It is worthy therefore to compare that pandemic to our most recent COVID-19. A comparison by real numbers. Estimates place the number of infected people in the 1918-1919 Spanish flu epidemic at about 500 million, which was approximately 1 out of every 3 people alive at the time. The deaths attributed to that flu were at least 50 million and some claims are as high as 100 million. Let’s take the conservative number of 50 million. There are 4 times as many people on the planet today as were then. So if the Spanish flu killed as many people today per capita, there would be 2 billion people infected, and 200 million deaths. The Spanish flu came in 4 waves of infection over a 2 year period. So, the most conservative number of deaths the Spanish Flu would have infected in the world today would be 200 million over the same 2 year period. The COVID-19 numbers are, as of this writing as follows: 42.7 million cases, and 1.15 million deaths worldwide over that 10 month period. Lets be conservative and hold that COVID-19 is 1/3rd as long-in-the-tooth

(which would actually be 2.5 years 10 X 3 = 30 months) as the full run of the Spanish Flu of 2 years. So we will times the covid numbers by 3, which would allow for the COVID-19 virus to runs its course similar to the Spanish Flu of 2 years (plus 6 months). Those numbers therefore would be that COVID-19 would infect 126.9 million, and result in 3.45 million deaths worldwide over the same 2 year period. To summarize, in direct comparison, taking into account the current population and time frame, the Spanish flu would have infected 2 billion people compared to COVID-19 infecting 126.9 million. The death rate comparison would be the Spanish Flu would kill 200 million worldwide in today’s numbers while COVID-19 would kill 3.45 million. In a word, COVID-19 is less than 2% as deadly as the Spanish Flu taking the pure numbers approach. I wonder what those people who went through the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918-1919 would think of COVID-19 today and our response to same. If I were a betting man, my wager would be that they would tell us we don't know what a real pandemic is......

From The Kitchen

H u nte rs f i l l f re eze rs w i t h m e at fo r l o n g w i nte rs By Joyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Combine rosemary, 1 tsp. onion powder and thyme. Rub over meat, cover and refrigerate for

two hours. Add 1/2 inch water to roasting pan. Place roast, carrots and onions in pan. Cover and cook at 325 degrees F for 2 1/2-3 hours or until meat is tender.

City had concerns with Ticket Rocket months before Scotties, emails show Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Mosaic Place. File photo The City of Moose Jaw’s concerns with Ticket Rocket appear to have begun in mid-November 2019, according to city hall emails, although those same emails indicate problems had been occurring for years. The documents came from an access to information request about all communications between city administration and Ticket Rocket from September 2019 to Sept. 11, 2020. City hall provided a 39page document with emails from city manager Jim Puffalt, Mosaic Place general Manager Ryan MacIvor, city clerk Myron Gulka-Tiechko and Ticket Rocket CEO Chris Noel. The emails seem to contradict comments Puffalt made at the Sept. 9, 2020, regu-

lar council meeting during the discussion about refunding ticket holders for cancelled concerts or hockey games. Puffalt had said city hall had concerns in February about Ticket Rocket’s ability to pay during the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. After the March events were cancelled, officials began asking the company for the money weekly; it eventually provided the Scotties’ money but nothing else. The problems begin Puffalt emailed Noel on Nov. 15, 2019 about Ticket Rocket advancing 80 per cent of the event money for the Offspring/ Sum 41 concert as per an agreement. In return, the city and Spectra Venue Management would guarantee requested advance funds if the events were cancelled. In a separate email, MacIvor asked Ticket Rocket to send the concert money no later than Nov. 18, while it should send the Scotties’ money as agreed. Noel responded to MacIvor on Nov. 16, saying he wanted confirmation that Puffalt had the legal authority to provide the financial guarantee. The CEO indicated that only a city council resolution or a legal opinion could guarantee that. “We understand that you would like to re-

ceive early distribution, but we are under no contractual obligation to do so,” Noel added. Who has the authority? Puffalt replied on Nov. 18, saying he didn’t understand the problem since city hall had requested advances before without issue. The city manager also indicated he was the acting general manager of the Downtown Facility and Field House Inc. (Mosaic Place), as per a municipal bylaw, and was responsible for managing the building’s affairs. Puffalt added that Ticket Rocket was obligated to pay all the concert funds by Nov. 25, 2019. To reaffirm Puffalt’s authority, Gulka-Tiechko emailed a letter to Noel saying council granted Puffalt full charge to manage DFFH operations on Aug. 15, 2018. Unacceptable actions MacIvor emailed Noel on Nov. 27, asking for an update about the concert money and the advanced Scottie’s money. A day later, Noel said the municipality should have already received $83,000. He also indicated that Ticket Rocket was having problems issuing payments. “Apologies. I know for concerts late payment is unacceptable,” Noel added. Later on Nov. 28, MacIvor indicated the municipality had not received any money. “You’re right, this is unacceptable,” he wrote, pointing out Ticket Rocket still owed money for the concert, the Scotties’ advance and hockey money. “What are you doing with our money????? Is the money not in a trust account, as identified in the contract? Doesn’t the contract speak to payment in three days? … This needs to be rectified immediately.” The Scotties’ advance would not happen until the indemnity paperwork was signed and sent, although the money for the hockey game would be sent soon, Noel replied. Ignoring the problem MacIvor was shocked that Noel wanted a letter from the city to guarantee and indemnify Ticket Rocket. “Considering you are late on payments to us, and as I have learned, this is not the first time this has happened … ,” said MacIvor. He then wondered what confidence the municipality should have in the ticket company. He also suggested that Ticket Rocket’s bank send a letter guaranteeing that the company had the money. The company could also put up a bond or just transfer the funds. An hour later, Puffalt emailed Noel and asked, “Where is the rest of the concert sales!” A day later, Puffalt wrote that he had left many phone messages and was concerned about the remaining concert funding. “Ticket Rocket needs to respond, ignoring us is not the way forward,” he added. Noel asked for confirmation about what transfers city hall had received; he thought $99,000 had been sent on Nov. 25. He acknowledged that Ticket Rocket

was working with its payment provider to understand the delay. Puffalt indicated the municipality had received $83,287.75 on Nov. 28. Get a plan MacIvor sent Noel a scathing email on Nov. 29, saying Ticket Rocket had still not sent any additional money. He wondered what the company’s plan was to meet its contract commitments, its plan to finalize the transfer of outstanding event money, whether it even had a plan, and how the city could ensure that Ticket Rocket delivered on the contract promises. “Obviously, you are having problems/issues. However, after the years you have had this contract and other venue/team contracts, you should have figured it out by now,” said MacIvor. “This seems to be a repeating problem, as I have looked back in correspondence with previous employees and these issues existed years ago as well.” Puffalt sent Noel an email on Dec. 2 saying Ticket Rocket had not sent any money on Nov. 29. Puffalt indicated that the municipality expected the outstanding funds by Dec. 2 and proof that the funds were in a trust account. City hall also required a valid reason why the funds were not provided as per the contract and the steps the company would take to ensure it paid. Five days later, Puffalt emailed Noel again and pointed out a response was required Dec. 6. Noel responded on Dec. 9, saying Ticket Rocket expected a response from its lawyers that day. MacIvor asked for an update on Dec. 31; on Jan. 2, 2020, Noel said the company was behind due to the holidays, but the money would be sent at noon that day. On Jan. 4, Spectra told MacIvor that Ticket Rocket had sent four payments totalling $197,596.40. He later asked Noel when the ticket company would send the rest. Staff concerns The final email is dated Jan. 30. Puffalt asked Noel to reply faster since delays caused frustration, especially when city hall was attempting to acquire information for clients. He also encouraged Noel to ensure Ticket Rocket staff could bring forward their concerns. “…when I was Acting Manager at Mosaic, they approached us as they couldn’t get an answer from the Victoria (British Columbia) office and that seems to have continued,” said Puffalt. Puffalt said he needed to see the company’s new proposal about additional costs since those were not mentioned in the contract. He was also willing to send city staff to support Noel’s team to ensure the expectations of the customer — likely Mosaic Place — were met, “as there is a large walk-up (for the Scotties tournament) expected and I am not sure how you would manage that from Victoria considering it is a week-long event.” Puffalt added that he and Noel should meet during the tournament or communicate by phone before the Feb. 7-14 tournament began.

Official election results toJasonbeG. Antonio released five days after election night - Moose Jaw Express While residents will likely know who their new mayor and council are on election night on Nov. 9, city hall won’t release the official results until Friday, Nov. 13. Officials plan to wait until Nov. 10 to ensure everything is sorted out and all equipment has been returned, explained returning officer Tracy Wittke. Nov. 11 is Remembrance Day, so on Nov. 12, officials will ensure all the poll books have been turned in and are balanced against the voters who voted at the polling stations. “I have always done that just to ensure that nothing is missing and that the actual results are the true results,” she said on Nov. 2 during a press briefing to discuss how the municipality will handle election night. “And as well, the larger centres, I do know that Saskatoon is declaring their results at 11 a.m. on Friday as well.” Should a candidate request a recount, that timeline for ensuring the results are official would take somewhat longer, Wittke continued. Under the Municipal Election Act, candidates have a week to ask for a recount if the results are close. Wittke would then re-check the election workers’ work and balance their poll books to ensure

they performed their jobs correctly. Results posted online In past municipal elections, city hall would be open so residents could come to see the results. However, due to the pandemic, city administration has decided to close the building to everyone that evening but the media. Instead, residents can check the City of Moose Jaw’s website for results that will be updated regularly. Wittke has acted as the returning officer for the municipality in several elections and said she has never had to issue a news release saying a race was too close to call. She pointed out that the unofficial results have always been available election night. Polls open late There are four polling stations for the municipal election: one at Church of Our Lady Roman Catholic Church on South Hill and three stations at the exhibition centre. Polls open at 9 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Wittke explained that any voters in the buildings after 8 p.m. will still be allowed to cast their ballots. Once all non-election personnel have left, it will take election

workers about 10 minutes to run off reports from the tabulating equipment. The results will be known 15 minutes after that since the poll clerks have to balance their poll books and equal the machines’ numbers. Mail-in ballots In the 2016 municipal election, city hall received 22 mailin ballots. As of Nov. 2, the municipality had received 328 mail-in ballot requests for this year’s election. Such ballots need to be filled out and returned to city hall no later than 8 p.m. on election day. If they arrive by mail after Nov. 9, they will not be counted. All mail-in ballots will be placed in a sealed box until that evening and then opened close to 8 p.m. The ballots will be run through the tabulating machine under the watch of two scrutineers. “Given the circumstances of COVID, I am pleased to see that number of (mail-in) ballots. I was actually very encouraged … ,” added Wittke. “I hope to continue to educate the public that this is an option that’s always available with the mail-in ballot.”

Hundreds more residentsJason voting in advance polls compared to 2016 G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express Hundreds more voters have taken advantage of advance polls in this year’s municipal election compared to 2016, with many wanting to avoid the long lineups on election day on Nov. 9. From Oct. 29 to Nov. 5, 2,074 residents voted in the advance polls held over seven days at city hall. This was 850 more votes than the 1,224 ballots cast in the advance polls in 2016. The 2,074 votes represent roughly eight per cent of all eligible voters in Moose Jaw, which this year is estimated at 25,900. “I pretty well do advance polls (to avoid crowds) … ,” resident Nancy Dougherty said while standing in a line outside city hall on Nov. 3, before adding with a laugh, “But it’s pretty busy here today.” One of the main civic issues on Dougherty’s mind is the development of the river valley, a topic she is against. While she wants to see growth happen in Moose Jaw, she didn’t want it to happen at Wakamow Valley’s expense. Dougherty would like to see a few incumbent city council members return for another term, while she would also like to see new faces. “I think you need representation from as many sectors (as possible) … diversity is good,” she added.

Contrary to Dougherty, voter Lyle didn’t plan to vote for anyone who was on council before. He is taking his daughter’s advice and plans to vote for three new people. The main election issue that riled up Lyle was the pay raise the mayor will receive on Jan. 1, where that salary will increase to $100,068 from $82,303. This is an increase of $17,765 or more than 21 per cent. “There’s an old saying, ‘figures never lie and liars never figure,’” remarked Lyle, who wanted the pay of mayor and council

to be tied to the cost of living — the same way minimum wage is calculated — at 2.5 per cent each year. Lyle explained that he votes in advance polls all the time since he is an older man, while it’s just more convenient. “They’re something I think are a good

Sask. public health makes masks mandatory in Regina, Saskatoon, Prince Albert Larissa Kurz

With Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s COVID-19 numbers reaching the highest theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been since the pandemic began, public health has issued more precautions to slow the spread of the virus. Beginning on Nov. 6 provincewide, indoor gathering sizes within the household are limited to 10 people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; reduced from the limit of 15 people announced on Oct. 17. Gatherings larger than 10 have to be hosted in a public venue, continued the public health order, and abide by the safety restrictions placed on the venue. Public health has also issued a mandatory masking order for the cities of Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert, after a spike in cases linked to public transmission in all three cities. Also beginning on Nov. 6, residents are required to wear

a non-medical face mask approved by the Saskatchewan Health Authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidelines in all indoor public spaces in these cities. The public health order will remain in place for a minimum of 28 days, after which it will be reviewed by the chief medical health officer. Premier Scott Moe and chief medical officer Dr. Saqib Shahab addressed the announcement during a live press conference on Nov. 3, encouraging residents across the province to wear masks when out in public. Public health will have the right to enforce the order for non-compliance, but Shahab said the focus will be on education and encouraging individuals to take responsibility when out in public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The onus is not on the business owner or operator of the facility to enforce this,â&#x20AC;? said Moe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The onus is on

us as individuals. This is about compliance, it's not about enforcement.â&#x20AC;? Public health also reminds that wearing a mask should be done while also observing all other safety precautions like physical distancing andhand hygiene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has worked in other provinces, and we must remember that this is a layer of protection,â&#x20AC;? said Moe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not the be-all and end-all and it does not cure COVID. It is a layer of protection for us, in addition to the physical distancing and everything else we're doing, to try and stop the spread in our communities.â&#x20AC;?

GoFundMe page for recent homicide victim gaining traction, support for family Larissa Kurz

A GoFundMe page set up in honour of Moose Jaw resident Shaun Holmes, who was the victim of a recent homicide, is gaining attention and support from the community since it was shared last week. Organized by Elizabeth Livingstone, a cousin, the fundraiser is meant as both a memorial for Holmes as well as an offering of support for the family to help with funeral costs and other financial burdens at this time. At the time of publishing, the GoFundMe had collected just over $4,000 of a $10,000 goal in less than three days. Livingstone spoke on behalf of the family, saying that the showing of support from the community has been a kind of comfort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels really good (to see),â&#x20AC;? said Livingstone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to hear that people liked him and respected him, that he was kind and had a big heart. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice to hear those things and see the support.â&#x20AC;? Livingstone has also set up a memorial trust account at a local bank, as sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had some expressed interest in donating to the family directly, rather than through an online

page. Those wishing to help without using GoFundMe can e-transfer their support directly to shaunholmesmemorial@gmail.com. For now, Livingstone says the best way to help the family during this time is to continue offering words of support and donations to the memorial fund while the family grieves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of us have gotten condolences from far and wide, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really nice to hear those, but at the same time, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little overwhelming, to have the amount come in that we did,â&#x20AC;? said Livingstone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But keep sending thoughts and condolences, because I know (the family) is grateful for all the support that is coming in, and the support and condolences from the community, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very, very grateful for that.â&#x20AC;? To contribute to the GoFundMe for the family of Shaun Holmes, search for the fundraiser â&#x20AC;&#x153;Funeral Costs and Memorial Fund for Shaun Holmesâ&#x20AC;? on GoFundMeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website.

Curling legend Russ Howard enjoying time on ice with youngsters Two-time Canadian and World champion and TSN commentator coaching son Steven’s team - and filling in at skip when he can Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The last time Russ Howard was in Moose Jaw for a competitive curling event prior to this event, he was hard at work at his new job. That job being one of the commentators for TSN during the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, where he joined Vic Rauter and Cheryl Bernard providing the expert analysis only a two-time Brier and World champion can bring. Howard was back at Mosaic Place, more specifically at the Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre on the ice. Howard stepped out from behind the glass as coach of son Steven’s Regina Highland foursome of third Daniel Selke, second Mat Ring and lead Scott Deck to serve as a fill-in skip for the young squad. Howard moved to Regina earlier this year with wife Wendy to be closer to his children - Steven lives in the Queen City when he isn’t working in Fort McMurray, with those commitments leaving the younger Howard unavailable for this tournament. Daughter Ashley Howard is the executive director of CurlSask and also lives in Regina. She was in town too helping run the 12-team event as well as keeping stats for Team Howard. So, when it came time to take the ice for the first draw, Russ slipped on the slider, grabbed the broom and headed back into his old office. “I took 10 years off from competitive curling, so I play like 10 games a year or five games a year, depending what year it is, so I’m just a club curler now,” Howard said shortly after falling to Rylan Kleiter in the championship final. “But if I get a chance to play the top teams let me at it, I still have that fire… But I have a bad knee and they use me sparingly. It’s okay when I’m playing Tuesday nights, but when you string together six or seven games it’s tough. But this weekend it was like riding a bike.” Howard put together a 5-2 record with his crew over the weekend, and would have liked to have seen a better performance in the final, but when you’re 64 years old and dealing with a wonky lower limb, things can get a bit tough. “The (Saskatchewan Roughriders) doctor is going to have a look and see if it’s salvageable,” Howard said with a rueful tone. “This week, I couldn’t hold myself up, I was making shots but it was hard to be precise and I fired it out there and got lucky. But if my knee was decent, I’d love to play, I miss it a lot. At least during this competition I didn’t hurt the team, but now I probably have to

Russ Howard delivers a shot as Mat Ring prepares to sweep. take two weeks off.” There’s a good reason Howard still has that desire to compete - when you’ve done as much as he has in the sport, it’s hard to lose the will to win. Howard won the Brier and world titles in both 1987 and 1993 to go along with eight Ontario championships, including four straight from 1991 through 1994 with Glenn Howard, Wayne Middaugh and Pete Corner. Then there are his simple contributions to the game: Russ and brother Glenn created the ‘Moncton Rule’ that evolved into the current free-guard zone that is now universally used in the sport. That’s why stepping into the coaching ranks was a natural fit for Howard, especially when his kids started following in their dad’s footsteps. And being able to take the ice in competitive situations most certainly helps. “That’s why I play Tuesday nights,” Howard said. “I teach a lot of clinics and I find I’m better on the ice teaching. It’s so hypothetical when the game is over, it’s like ‘why didn’t you play that’ and ‘well, we would have done this’ and ‘you might not have made that’. Where on the ice it’s the real deal, you have to coach them how to miss, how to throw the perfect weight and the guys are getting better all the time. “We played in this spiel last year and won four and lost

the fifth. Then this one we won five and lost this one, so it’s pretty good. They’re brushing better, their judgement is better, playing the angles So much is teachable.” Actually playing the game at a high level this weekend helps that much more, but comes with a caveat: you’re coaching and teaching, but wanting those wins at the same time. “That’s the double-whammy,” Howard said. “I get to play, I have the competitive edge. This game we had a bunch of bad rocks, it was just horrible out there. But that (semifinal 6-3 win) against Sam Wills was great, and even back in the day if I’d lost to same in a game like that, I’d still be happy. Where this last game it just wasn’t very good.” That all leads to the giant elephant in the room. The SCT Moose Jaw spiel was played under heavy COVID-19 restrictions that included limited places curlers could stand on the ice, single sweepers and no skip sweeping. That’s on top of a raft of off-ice restrictions that saw the curlers leave the building as soon as possible after their draws, as well as limited numbers of fans throughout the weekend. Howard didn’t mince words with the effect it’s having on the game and how difficult the whole situation has been for the sport. “It’s horrible,” he said. “I know CurlSask is doing everything they can possibly do, but it’s up to the health region, we have to trust them. “Can you imagine being Kerri Einarson? She wins the Canadian championship, puts the maple leaf on her back, goes home and the season is over. Or (Brad) Gushue again, his third chance, and all our top teams trying to gear up for the Olympic trials… I can’t imagine this when I played. I was a golf pro and when the season ended, I was curling. Now you can’t curl sometimes and that’s really tough for the top athletes in the sport.” The good thing? As long as the knee holds out and there are games he can get into, Howard will do as much as he can to help Steven land the points he needs to qualify for the SaskTel Tankard. “If I can play and I’m needed, it’s ‘put me in coach’,” he said with a laugh. “We got 10 of a maximum 12 points this weekend, and this might have been a good stepping stone to get them into provincials. I’ll coach them there. Unless there’s an injury. Then out I come. I’ll just have to go find some cartilage at Walmart or something.”

Then there were three: Trio of teams undefeated in Original 16 Cash League BTN Accountants, Easy Care Living, Froehlich all post victories to improve to 3-0 on season Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Original 16 Cash League is three games into the new season, and already the top of the standings are starting to tighten up. Only three teams remain undefeated after action last Wednesday night at the Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre: BTN Accountants, Matt Froehlich and Easy Care Living, with all improving to 3-0. BTN (Danielle Sicinski) had one of the cleanest showings on the night, as they rolled to a 6-0 victory over Pro-Tec Electric (Stan Barnsley, 2-1) in a battle of undefeateds. Sicinski scored one in the first and then stole the rest of the way, scoring three in the second and tacking on single points in third and fourth to bring things to an early end. Froehlich also went on a steal tear against Here for the Beer (Patrick Ackerman, 0-3), scoring three in the first, stealing three more in the second and another deuce in the third for a quick 8-0 lead. They’d tack on one more in fourth before Ackerman got on the board the next end, but that would bring things to a 9-1 final. Easy Care Living (Lorraine Arguin) took a default win over KalTire (Rob Sokchoff, 1-2).

Walchuk Masonary (Tyler Krupski, 1-2) handed KMS (Ben Gamble, 2-1) their first loss of the season in a battle of Sask Curling Tour teammates - Krupski plays second on Gamble’s Regina Highland foursome. And once

again, a string of steals was the key: Gamble picked up one in the first, but saw Krupski reply with two in the second end, single points in the third and fourth and another three in the fifth. Gamble got one back in the sixth and stole two of his own the next end, but would run out of rocks and take the 7-4 loss. John’s Music (Ryan Wenarchuk, 2-1) kept pace with the leaders with a 6-5 win over EMJ Marketing (Joe Gunnis, 0-3). Gunnis held a 2-1 lead after three ends, but Wenarchuk put up a five-spot in the fourth for a 6-2 edge. Gunnis wouldn’t go quietly, though, scoring points in each of the final three ends but falling just short. Protec Video (Wade Gray, 2-1) also moved into the four-team logjam in fourth place after taking a 6-2 win over Paws N Play (Donna Ackerman, 3-0). Gray led 3-0 through three ends and after Ackerman got one back in the fourth, tacked on a deuce in the fifth for a 5-1 edge. The two rinks would exchange single points the next two ends before Ackerman ran out of rocks in the eighth. League action continues every Wednesday night at the Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre.

Warriors’ Millar looking forward to National Junior Team selection camp

Hockey Canada U20 lead for Program of Excellence management group expects longer and larger camp to feature plenty of competition Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Hockey Canada is pulling no punches when it comes to the 2020 National Junior Team selection camp. Traditionally featuring around 30 players, beginning in early December and running for two weeks before the World Junior Hockey Championship Boxing Day opening game, the event is compact, extremely competitive and brings the best out of those contending for coveted spots on the team. In the era of COVID-19 and with two of the three Canadian Hockey League loops not playing until the new year, it’s all about going bigger and longer. Hockey Canada announced recently that 46 players had been invited to the camp, which will begin Nov. 16 and run through Dec. 13 in a cohort bubble in Red Deer. That’s a month of practices, exhibition games and everything imaginable to help prepare for what promises to be a unique event. Moose Jaw Warriors general manager Alan Millar will have a front-row seat for the entire process. The Hockey Canada U20 lead for the Program of Excellence management group, Millar will have a hand in how things play out throughout, including what the final make-up of the team will look like. And you better believe Millar and the entire Hockey Canada crew are looking forward to it all. “It’s a really exciting day,” Millar said Thursday afternoon. “It’s a long process with two leagues in the CHL not playing any games and Quebec League playing minimal games. Certainly a lot of video scouting, a lot of player personnel conference calls.

Team Canada will be looking for this same kind of scene at the end of the 2021 World Junior Hockey Championship. (Andrea Leigh Cardin/HHOF-IIHF Images) “Our camp isn’t about just selecting the best team, it’s also about preparing our team to play at the World Junior level beginning on Boxing Day. I think Andre Tourigny and our coaching staff have a real good plan to help us do that, playing upwards of as many 11 pre-comp games, whether that’s intrasquad, USports or pre-tournament games against Sweden and Russia.” The camp roster is filled with familiar names, including a six players from last year’s gold medal team -- including Quinton Byfield (Sudbury OHL), Bowen Byram (Vancouver), Dylan Cozens (Lethbridge), Jamie Drysdale (Erie, OHL), Connor McMicheal (London, OHL) and Dawson Mercer (Chicoutimi, QMJHL). Moose Jaw Warriors defenceman Daemon Hunt is also in the mix, taking part in his first National Junior Team selection

camp. That list received a further boost when the Chicago Blackhawks released former Saskatoon Blades forward Kirby Dach to the team, and Hockey Canada is also hoping to see NHL first-overall pick Alexis Lafreniere join the camp from the New York Rangers. “You add those two to a very strong group without them, it’s really exciting,” Millar said. “But it’s not only Canada. I think we have great depth and great talent, but with the NHL’s return to play, there could be other players available, whether it’s (Finland’s) Kaapo Kakko with the Rangers or (the U.S.’s ) Jack Hughes with New Jersey, all of these guys are available to play in another World Juniors if their NHL teams want them to. “Our camp is going to be very competitive, and like every year with Canada’s

national junior team there are going to be some tough decisions to make.” The spectre of COVID-19 will hang over the entire proceeding. The camp will take place in a tight bubble, with no fans or media allowed. Players will be tested when they arrive in Red Deer and every three days afterwards. Once in Edmonton for the tournament proper, it will be much the same procedure as the NHL went through -- all 10 World Junior teams will isolate in hotel rooms for four days, with the same kind of testing regime and player protection protocols will be in place. “I think everybody understands what we have to do in order to play, and I think we have a very motivated group of players that had an extended stay at home and haven’t been playing games,” Millar said. “There’s a lot of excitement from those players to get going and we understand as a staff that we have to get creative and keep everyone busy. “But this is a different situation than the NHL where you’re dealing with men, guys who are married and have kids and so forth. We’re dealing with teenagers, and at the same time we take the responsibility for their mental state and all those things. Those are real important to keep in mind, but at the same time we have a real excited and motivated group to get back on the ice.” The camp will see two practices daily through Nov. 20, with intrasquad games daily from Nov. 21 through 24. Exhibition games against USports squads will take place on Nov. 28 and 29, Dec. 5 and 6 and Dec. 12 and 13. Canada plays its first game on Dec. 26 against Germany.

Moose Jaw Celtic officially launch program with selection of first-ever team Dreams become a reality as elite soccer program taking field for first training sessions Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

All the planning, all the preparation and now reality has come to fruition for Moose Jaw Celtic. The elite soccer program held their official launch on Sunday at the Great Canadian Brewhouse, kicking off what’s hoped to become a pure powerhouse in the sport in the province, one that will lead to international opportunities for its players. “We had close to 100 people there to help us celebrate and help us really launch the program and give the boys the buzz of the excitement that even people who aren’t soccer people are feeling from the partnership,” said Moose Jaw Soccer Association technical director Jordan Jeffery. “You’re never too confident how something is going to be received in the planning stages, how we were envisioning things with the Celtic partnership and how the soccer community outside of Moose Jaw would receive things. It’s a completely different scale to what we anticipated. We thought there would be buzz about it, but it’s a lot bigger than we thought it would be on that front and definitely outside of Moose Jaw.” That’s because the scope of the whole thing could end up being legendary. The program was announced this past June and features a partnership with one of the greatest teams in European soccer, Celtic FC of the Scottish Premier League. The winningest team in SPL history, Celtic provides training systems and other support for the local squad, and will eventually see players and teams from Moose

The first-ever Moose Jaw Celtic boys soccer team. Jaw heading overseas to train with and face elite Scottish youth teams. It wasn’t long after the announcement was made that Jeffery was receiving plenty of interest from prospective players, a situation that hasn’t let up. “We’re getting calls on a weekly basis from all over western Canada, from parents and players asking if there’s going to be a team for a certain age next year or something we can create now for them,” Jeffery said. “It’s a fantastic time for us, but for me, it’s like I said to the coaching staff and the people involved in the club, this is just the beginning.” In addition to the crew of local players, top level talent from Swift Current and Yorkton have also moved to the city, in addition to a pair of players from Calgary - both of whom played some of the highest

U17-level soccer Alberta has to offer. “I think it’s potentially a very, very strong team,” Jeffery said. “We’re happy we have 19 players committed and nearly every player we invited to the team accepted, we have a strong base right now and we want to get the first couple of weeks underway and see where we’re at.” The crew will be coached by Alex Bijelic, who was an assistant coach with the Whitecaps Academy back when Moose Jaw soccer was partnered with the Vancouver MLS team. Bijelic has since led the U17 Moose Jaw FC soccer program to great success, and will be joined by fellow high-level coach Steven Pollock as an assistant. “Having someone of that calibre in the city, we felt it was important to showcase him as a coach and give him the opportu-

nity to work with these players,” Jeffery said. “We wanted a coach who was just as strong as the boys and can develop them both on the field and off the field, in game situations and everything else. It’s important the coach is the figurehead of all that and it’s fantastic we have someone at that level who can handle that side of things. Alex and Steven are fantastic coaches, you can already see the boys look up to them and they’re going to help this program grow and grow and grow into the future.” With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and increasing caseload in the province, games with outside teams are on hold for the foreseeable future. But even with just intrasquad competition, what he’s seen so far from the fledgling group has Jeffery exceptionally optimistic. “It’s a really good group of players, with great attitudes, a great level of play and it’s exciting we had players who aren’t from Moose Jaw move to here to be part of the program,” he said. “It’s nice when you can attract that level of talent to Moose Jaw and bump up the level of the group… The best way for players to improve is to play with better players. We’ve got as many of those strong players as we can and you can already see the competitive nature from the first couple sessions.” For more on Moose Jaw Celtic and their future plans, be sure to keep an eye on their Facebook page at facebook.com/ MooseJawCeltic.

Former Warriors captain Brook to start season in Germany Montreal Canadiens loan defenceman to Krefeld Pinguine of Deutsche Eishockey Liga Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Former Moose Jaw Warriors captain Josh Brook is about to follow a familiar path for former members of the Western Hockey League franchise. The Montreal Canadiens announced last Thursday that Brook, 21, had been loaned to the Krefeld Pinguine of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga in Germany for the start of the 2020-21 season and until the American Hockey League returns to action as early as Feb. 5. Brook played four seasons with the Warriors from 201516 through 2018-19, serving as the team’s captain in his 19-year-old season and emerging as one of the top defenceman in the WHL. He scored 16 goals and 75 points with Moose Jaw that season and also suited up for Canada and the World Junior Hockey championship as well as captaining Team WHL in the Canada Russia Super Series.

Brook was selected by the Canadiens in the second round, 56th overall in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft and played last season with their AHL affiliate in Laval, scoring four goals and 13 points in 60 games. He also had an assist in seven games with the Rocket after the Warriors were eliminated from 2019 WHL playoffs. Playing in DEL isn’t an unusual situation for former Warriors, including one of their Hall of Famers in former captain Mark Mackay. Mackay played 12 seasons in Germany, from 1985-86 through 2001-02, including the last seven with the DEL’s SERC Wild Wings. He also became a regular on the German national team, suiting up for six world championships as well as representing Germany in the 1998 Nagano Olympics and 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.

Former Moose Jaw Warriors captain Josh Brook will suit up in Germany to start the season.

Warriors planning for season start with wide variety of changes in place Moose Jaw general manager Alan Millar appears on The Rod Pedersen Show to provide a wide-ranging update Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Warriors and the rest of the Western Hockey League are well into the process of preparing for the upcoming season, regardless of how it might look due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Warriors general manager Alan Millar was on The Rod Pedersen Show earlier this week and chatted with Rod and co-host Darren Dupont about the entire situation, shedding some light on where things currently are with regards to the Jan. 8 start date and what fans might see when the puck is dropped. First and foremost, capacity at Mosaic Place Currently the plan remains to have 50 per cent capacity at WHL rinks with social distancing, which means spacing in all directions, side-to-side and front-to-back. It could follow a similar model to what’s currently seen at Moose Jaw AAA Warriors games, only covering the entire arena instead of just the east-side stands. “Fifty per cent capacity and 50 per cent capacity with social distancing are two different things, but that’s what all our teams are working with, the best way to get as many fans in the building as we can, with health and safety in mind and the support of the government and health authorities,” Millar said. “They’ve been very supportive and great to work with our teams and our league office.” Mosaic Place capacity is 4,414 without standing room, meaning around 2,200 fans could be allowed in the building if social distancing can be maintained. That would be

Moose Jaw Warriors general manager Alan Millar was recently on The Rod Pederson Show and offered an update on how things are progressing with the WHL Return to Play. on top of other potential precautions, including mandatory masks, directed foot traffic with fans entering at one entrance and leaving at another and limited activity on the concourse. The Warriors have updated season ticket holders with further information, including if and when tickets may go on sale - the team continues to wait until capacity information is confirmed before making such a move - and other frequently asked questions. Through it all, though, Millar told Pedersen that there’s been plenty of support from the community.

“I can say from our staff’s involvement here in Moose Jaw, working through this pandemic and what this season looks like and understanding the challenges financially and understanding the capacity of the building, our fans want to see us make it work and our corporate sponsors want to see us make it work,” Millar said. “The feedback has been extremely supportive on helping us grind out a difficult year and we’re appreciative of that.” Millar also touched on the current situation with body checking being potentially banned in the Ontario Hockey League. “I think there’s been some comments made, some statements made a little bit too early in the process and I think the OHL will work diligently to return with contact,” Millar told Pedersen. “We haven’t had that conversation yet, I sit on the competitions committee in our league and that’s not something that’s come up in our league or with the health authorities we’ve been dealing with. So hopefully by the time we get to the new year we’re playing as normally as we can.” You can check out Millar’s complete interview - which also touches on Team Canada preparations - on Youtube by searching Rod Pedersen Show Alan Millar, or by simply visiting the Rod Pedersen Show website at rodpederson.com.

Mullen scores overtime winner as AAA Warriors down Notre Dame 3-2 in OT Wilson had two goals, three-point night in hard-fought battle at Mosaic Place Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw AAA Warriors knew they were going to see a stiffer challenge from the Notre Dame Hounds than they’d faced so far this Sask Male AAA Hockey League season, and that’s exactly what happened. Kirk Mullen scored the game-winning goal on the power play 46 seconds into overtime as the Warriors took a 3-2 victory in overtime on Friday night at Mosaic Place.

Shortly after Kael DePape made this save on a breakway in overtime, Kirk Mullen would score the game winner.

Mullen’s winner came off a deflection on a Wyatt Wilson point shot, and only seconds after Warriors goaltender Kael DePape turned aside a Notre Dame breakaway. In other words, it was just that close. “They work hard, they compete and they battle and they were a good test,” Warriors head coach Trevor Weisgerber said of Notre Dame’s showing. “That’s what we said to the guys, we were happy with the way things ended up but just with the chances we had, we felt we pushed the pace a lot of the game. It was good.”

The Warriors looked to have things won late in regulation, but an untimely penalty led to Josh Schenk tying the game for the Hounds with only 1:51 remaining. “Obviously giving up the goal late, taking the penalty, we just kind of broke down on our PK actually and that kind of caused the goal, which was too bad,” Weisgerber said. “But we’ll go over the video and we’ll learn from that.” Wilson also scored the Warriors’ first two goals as the two teams were scoreless after the first and tied 1-1 through two. The 17-year-old Victoria Royals prospect has been a stabilizing force on the blueline though the early part of the season, and seeing that kind of a performance is no surprise to Weisgerber. “He played really well tonight, and he’s played well since the beginning of the season,” he said. “He’s a guy we need on the back end to kind of lead by example and tonight he played very well. It’s not always about points with those guys; it’s nice when they do hit the scoresheet, but for them it’s more doing the little things and doing the things properly and he was rewarded with some points because of it.” DePape turned aside 23 shots to earn the win, the Warriors had 47 on Hounds goaltender Austin Elliot. The Warriors improved to 2-0 with the win and hold down first place in the SMAAAHL South standings. The Hounds fell to 1-0-0-1.The Warriors and Hounds were to rematch on Sunday, but the game was cancelled due to the blizzard. It will rescheduled for a later date.

PHA Cougars U17 Prep win opener, U16 Cougars fall to Capitals Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express The Prairie Hockey Academy saw a bit of the good and a bit of the bad in Sask AA Hockey League U18 action on Saturday. The U17 Prep Cougars emerged from a hard-fought battle with the Swift Current Broncos to take a 3-2 victory in Swift Current, while the U16 Prep Cougars were unable to follow up on their win a night earlier, dropping a 6-4 decision to the Capitals in Regina. The U17 squad was to be back in action on Sunday afternoon in a rematch with the Broncos, but that game was cancelled due to the blizzard. Next action for the two teams will be a head-to-head battle on Friday, Nov. 13 at the Barkman Arena. Game time is 7 p.m. U17 Cougars 3, Broncos 2 Ethan Dekay scored the game-winning goal on the power play with 6:20 gone in the third period. Drew Molde and Chad Schindel also scored for the Cougars, who found themselves tied 1-1 after the first and leading 2-1 through two. Justin Dueck got the start in goal for PHA and turned aside 26 shots to earn the win. The Cougars were 1-for-5 on the power play, Swift Current was 2-for-6.

Capitals 6, U16 Cougars 4 PHA looked to have momentum on their side late in the game when Ryder Knutson scored on the power play with 3:14 remaining to tie things 4-4, but Regina would regain the lead only 40 seconds later and tag on an insurance marker with 50 seconds to play. Clark Furman had two goals for the Cougars, while Mat-

thew Healy had their other marker. Prairie Hockey took a 2-1 lead out of the first period and trailed 4-3 through two. Michael Malinowski got the start in goal for the Cougars and made 24 saves. PHA was 1-for-5 on the power play, Regina 2-for-3.

MURRAY DOUGLAS SMAIL It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather Murray Douglas Smail on Saturday, October 31, 2020 at the age of 89. Murray was born February 27, 1931 to Bill and Mary Ellen Smail. He lived on a farm near Belbeck, SK until he was 12 and then moved into town. It was always a big joke that he got to ride the horse to school but his 3 sisters had to walk. He lived the rest of his life in Moose Jaw excelling in hockey and baseball. We were all present and proud to witness Dad being inducted into the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame as well. He was a businessman in Moose Jaw for many, many years owning Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Signs. He was also involved with the Elks, Kinsmen, K-40â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Moose Jaw Hockey Society and the Travellers and Travellers Day Parade Association for whom he built many floats for all the parades held in our city. Dad truly loved Moose Jaw and volunteered and helped with many other organizations in our little city. He was Master of Ceremonies for events such as the Moose Jaw Band Festival and the Peacock/Tech Reunion. Dad was also a great entertainer, putting on many comedy skits for various occasions and events that went on in Moose Jaw. He was instrumental in putting up Greeting Card Lane and it is still going on today. He was a proud Moosejavian. Dad was one of the original Grumpy Old Men who walked in Wakamow. He loved being with his friends, telling a joke or two and always was the life of the party. Dad and Mom were fortunate enough to do a lot of travelling to Europe, Cuba, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Florida, California and various other places in the USA and Canada. Dad loved people. He was an outgoing, friendly, kind, and humble man. He was extremely proud of his whole family, but especially proud of his son Doug who was fortunate enough to play professional hockey. Dad was predeceased by his parents, an infant brother Ernest, 3 sisters, Hazel, Violet and Myrtle, 2 grandchildren, Cody and Anna and numerous other relatives. He met and married the love of his life Jeanette Hogue on January 30, 1954 and they were married 66 years. They had 3 children, Sherry (Randy) Cameron, Doug (Wanda) Smail, and Cindy (Larry) Voeller; 7 grandchildren, Trisha (Tony), Jenna (Scott), Aimee (Troy), Michael (Ashly), Brett (Kennedy), Stacey (Greg), and Ashley (Shane), and 10 great-grandchildren. Dad you will always be loved and missed, and we know Heaven will never be the same. Dad, whenever we hear this song, we will think of you!

May the winds of Heaven blow softly and whisper in your ear How much we love and miss you and wish that you were here. Thank You It is hard to believe that Gerry has been gone for 2 years. Lorem ipsum I miss him so much, as do all of our family. As I look back at that time, and forward to today, I want to say a heartfelt â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank Youâ&#x20AC;? to everyone who has reached out to me and my family. There were cards, flowers, phone calls, visits, hugs, food, taking me out for meals, listening to me when I was sad and lost, and so many kind offers of help. So many of you honoured Gerry by attending his Celebration of Life and for that our Family Thanks You. I am grateful to each person who has been there for me these past two years. A special thank you to Della Ferguson, and Kelly and Blair Scott. To Terry Miller â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thank you for making such a beautiful personal urn to bury Gerryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ashes in.

HAZEL â&#x20AC;&#x153;ALICEâ&#x20AC;? ELIZABETH SEDMAN (NEE LYNDS) Beloved sister, wife, mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother, Hazel Alice Elizabeth Sedman passed away on October 29, 2020 at the age of 84. Alice took pride in keeping meticulous records and was a great support to her husband Reg when he started his electrical business in 1954. She started keeping his books and continued doing the books for Reg and their three sons as the business grew under the Big K umbrella until her passing. She kept a home and raised six children, finding time to sew clothes, garden and crochet baby outfits for grandchildren. She kept a careful record of birthdays, phone numbers and addresses as her family expanded and grew with grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was a great role model to the dedication it takes to be a mother and work full time also. Alice was the third child born of ten children to Henry Archie Lynds and Bessie Jean Lynds (nee Hartley). She was born on June 18, 1936 at Elizabeth Rozelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Moose Jaw and shortly transferred to Moose Jaw Hospital. Aliceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first home was a house on the Jimmy Gereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s farm close to Lake School and Blue Hill Church. Alice started Sunday School at Blue Hill Church and regularly attended every Sunday. Later the family moved to the Gadd farm where Alice started school at Lake School. In 1946, the family moved to the Camalachie District on a farm where there was a larger house, formerly the Leakville Post Office. The Camalachie School was re-opened as there were enough farm children with the Lynds children and neighbours for a school again. Here, Alice completed her Grade 8 and Grade 9 by correspondence to enable her to attend Peacock High School in Moose Jaw. She completed grades 10 and 11 before she married the love of her life, Reg Sedman. Alice met Reg Sedman at a Quincy School dance in the early 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. They enjoyed many country dances and Reg proposed to her at Temple Gardens on March 10, 1954. The orchestra played â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harbour Lightsâ&#x20AC;? for their engagement dance. They were married at St. Andrews United Church on June 26, 1954. They started their married life and family in Buttress. They moved to Moose Jaw in 1957, where the family grew from two to six children. They moved into three new homes in Moose Jaw which they built together, along with a family cabin at Buffalo Pound Lake. They did this all, while maintaining his electrical contracting business, building the Big K Car and Truck wash, and finally at age 70 and mom at age 63, building the 18-Wheeler Semi Wash on the north service road. Alice is predeceased by her parents Archie and Jean Lynds, father and mother-in-law Wilfred and Virginia Sedman; her loving husband of 56 years, Reg; brotherin-law Arnold Field; brother Kenneth Lynds; sister Mary Ellen Powell and brother-in-law Duane Powell; sister Mabel Howes and brother-in-law Gerald Howes; brother Ron Lynds; sister-in-law Marilyn Donison and brother-in-law Danny Donison; granddaughter Ashley Luther; two nieces and a nephew. She leaves to treasure her memory her six children, Constance (David) Dyck, Alicia and Leighton; Debra (Clifford) Luther, Dallas (Audrey), Dustin, Clinton; Greg Sedman, Justin (Lisa), (great-grandson Liam), Wayne, (greatgranddaughters Kanisha and Bella); Beverly ShepleySedman, Ryan (Courtney), (great-granddaughter Luna), Virginia (Nick), (great-granddaughter Alexis, great-grandsons Zackary, Kieran, and Nolan); James Sedman (Tina), Colton, Jordan, Desiree (greatgranddaughter Makiyla), Colby, Cassidy Tarrant; and Curtis Sedman; Sisters Ruby Elaine Field; Bette-Jean Lynds; brothers Elwood Lynds; Melvin (Eleanor); Vernon Lynds. A Private Family Ceremony will be held on Friday, November 6th, 2020 with Interment at Rosedale Cemetery. Donations in memory of Alice Sedman are welcomed for the following charities: Diabetes Association; Heart & Stroke Foundation; or The Kidney Foundation of Canada. In living memory of Alice, a memorial planting will be made by Jones Parkview Funeral Services.

BETTYE DAY (née: Reader) December 27th, 1939 – November 3rd, 2020 Bettye Rae Day passed away on Tuesday November 3rd, 2020 at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital at the age of 80 years. Bettye was born in Moose Jaw, SK and received her education at Empire Elementary and then Peacock Technical High School in Moose Jaw. After that, she took her nursing education and graduated as a Licensed Practical Nurse. She worked at a number of different Saskatchewan hospitals, including Swift Current, where she met her husband Wayne Day. Bettye married Wayne in Moose Jaw where they eventually settled and raised their two children, Brenda and Scott. Bettye worked for many years at the Union Hospital, mainly in the Operating Room. After she helped her daughter with childcare so that Brenda could graduate as a Registered Nurse, Bettye fulfilled her own dream of becoming a Registered Nurse, graduating from Kelsey Institute in Saskatoon, SK. She returned to the Union Hospital to work in Emergency and finished her career there as the Director of Central Supply. She worked past the age of 65 and when people asked her why she didn’t retire earlier, she always said she loved the work, the people she worked with, and the patients she worked for.Bettye and Wayne lived for many years on Brenda and Larry’s farm southwest of Moose Jaw. They enjoyed the winters in Weslaco, Texas for over 20 years, where they had good times and good friends. She lived the last year at Mulberry Estates where she enjoyed the activities and Happy Hour with the friends she had made there. She loved to travel and managed to see a large part of the world. She convinced Wayne to go with her to Venezuela where they went ziplining and parasailing. Together with her daughter, she traveled to the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Mexico, Hawaii, New York and many other parts of the United States and Canada. One of the highlights of her life was when she accompanied her sister Carole on a 6 week trip to Australia. She was a savvy user of the Air Miles program and one of the last things she did was to use them to fly her son Scott home to spend time with her in her final days. Bettye could never be still. She was always at her grandkids and great-grandkids dancing and sports events. She was one of 3 nurses who produced a fashion show starring the nursing staff and physicians modeling

clothes from Moose Jaw businesses. That was a fundraiser for the Moose Jaw Union Hospital for a number of years. She volunteered at the Union Hospital and the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital, and with the SCRAPS program, enjoying working at the store with the other volunteers. She loved animals and throughout her life had many special cats, dogs and horses. Bettye was a true cancer warrior. She battled cancer starting in her 20’s and up until the day she died from Non- Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. She was predeceased by her parents, Edward and Lillian Reader; brother, Charles Reader; sister, Marguerite Bristow; father-in-law, Leonard Day; mother-in-law, Ethel Day; Ethel’s second husband, Leonard Kitchen; as well as a number of sisters and brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews. Bettye is survived by her husband, Wayne Day; daughter, Brenda Bumphrey (Larry); son, Scott Day (Vanessa); 6 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren; sisters: Glenda Hennenfent, Carole Reader, Frances Avery, and Lynda Eldstrom; brother, Gerry Reader; brother-inlaw, Morley Day; sister-in-law, Audrey Day and their families. The family wishes to thank the Pasqua Hospital and Allan Blair Cancer Clinic physicians and staff, mom’s special friend Noreen (Andy) Pasiuk, who sat with her for many hours while she received chemotherapy, the doctors, nurses and support staff at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital in Moose Jaw, and Dr. Ramadan and Dr. Kerrie Hetherington for their professional and kind care. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, there will be no Funeral Service at this time. A Graveside Service will be held at Rosedale Cemetery in July 2021 for family and friends, details to be announced at a later date. As well, in keeping with Bettye’s wishes, a private memorial will take place at Brenda and Larry’s farm where she had so many happy memories. In lieu of flowers, donations in Bettye’s name may be made to the Allan Blair Cancer Centre c/o Pasqua Hospital, 4101 Dewdney Ave, Regina, SK S4T 7T1, where the physicians and staff looked after her so well, or SCRAPS, PO Box 1653, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 7K7. We will miss her so much, but are happy that she is no longer in pain. “Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear.” (Author Unknown) Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane.

Changes could lessen traffic issues near new school, report says Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

A report that analyzed future traffic numbers near the proposed joint-use school in Westheath suggests the neighbourhood will see disruption at peak hours, but mitigation efforts could lessen the effects of those traffic problems. Colliers Project Leaders drafted two preliminary sketch plans for phases 5 and 6 of the Westheath neighbourhood that include a new 10-acre joint elementary school. The plans were limited to two site configuration options — with both using Wellington Drive as the main roadway to access the school — based on the development’s size, the report explained. The building would combine two schools each from Holy Trinity Roman Catholic School Division and Prairie South School Division. Option A proposes a rectangular school site in the middle of the undeveloped area that would front Wellington Drive and have area streets and residential parcels surround the building, the report said. Two new north/south roads would provide access to future growth areas south of Westheath. This concept maintains the closest relationship to the 2018 Westheath concept plan that the City of Moose Jaw developed for this subdivision, the report added. Option B proposes a deeper, square-shaped school site along Wellington Drive that is situated more toward the

eastern end of the development. “This option was provided to show a different, possibly more preferred, school site configuration and its impact on lot yield,” added the report. Local streets — which are narrower — and collector streets — which are wider — are the two main roads surrounding the proposed school site. Wellington Drive is the main area collector roadway and can handle roughly 5,000 to 8,000 vehicles per day. Triton Street, William Avenue and Spadina Drive are some local area streets that can handle roughly 1,000 vehicles per day. The typical peak periods for residents leaving and entering the Westheath neighbourhood are 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m., the report explained. With Option A, it is estimated that daily trip generation would be 1,199 civilian vehicle trips, while daily trip generation under Option B would be 1,161 civilian vehicle trips. “… the approved Westheath Concept Plan will generate more residential trips than the two proposed options,” continued the report. In its report, Colliers Project Leaders reviewed potential vehicle trip generation when the school opens with 900 students and then later when the school reaches 1,100 students. The company also determined that peak hours would occur from 7 to 9 a.m. and 2 to 4 p.m. With 900 students and 80 staff, the report projected there

would be 281 inbound vehicle trips — school buses, staff, and parent drivers — and 201 outbound vehicle trips — parent drivers — in the morning. Those numbers would then be reversed in the afternoon. This would create 964 total daily vehicle trips generated near the school. With 1,100 students and 100 staff, the report projected there would be 346 inbound vehicle trips and 246 outbound vehicle trips in the morning, with those numbers reversed in the afternoon. This would create 1,184 total daily trips. “With a capacity of approximately 5,000 to 8,000 daily trips, it is anticipated that Wellington Drive would have enough design capacity to accommodate the trips generated by the school and residential development throughout the day,” the report said. “However, the addition of 482 vehicle trips during each of the (morning) and afternoon peak hours generated by the school will likely mean that some mitigation measures may be desirable.” One mitigation measure could include encouraging traffic to circulate along Wellington Drive in a counter-clockwise direction to minimize left turns entering and exiting the school site, suggested the report. Other measures could include promoting more walking, bicycling and carpooling, and staggering school hours to minimize peak traffic flows arriving and departing. The traffic impact assessment report is to be presented for acceptance at the Nov. 23 city council meeting. If approved, the project would then continue.

Option B for the joint-use school proposes a more square development of the area. Photo courtesy Colliers Project Leaders

Catholic division to spendJason nearly $3M to fix schools next three years G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express Holy Trinity Roman Catholic School Division could spend nearly $3 million during the next three years to upgrade many of its schools to ensure they meet the needs of staff and students. Division administration presented the three-year building maintenance plan (2021-23) during the most recent board meeting. The plan reviews the deficiencies of each school and indicates the projects the buildings team wants to pursue. Sacred Heart Elementary School Sacred Heart Elementary School was constructed in 1959, with four additions between 1965 and 1978. The school is structurally sound, the report said, but some major components are beyond their life expectancies, such as the roof, boilers and electrical components. “With the new joint-use school planned (to open in 2023), repairs and maintenance and emergent issues will occur as required to maintain a safe facility,” the report added. St. Mary School St. Mary School was constructed in 1956 and a portable classroom was added in 1994. The division replaced the school’s roof in 2019 except for the portable. One major deficiency is the school lacks a fire suppression sprinkler system. Similar to Sacred Heart, repairs, maintenance and emergent issues will occur as required to keep the building safe until the new school opens. St. Agnes School St. Agnes School was built in 1964; extra classrooms were built in 1971 and a gym was added in 1979. A relocatable classroom was added in 2019. Holy Trinity plans to spend $63,000 to upgrade student washrooms, repoint exterior bricks, remove concrete and asphalt from the schoolyard, replace a retaining wall that separates the school from the nearby church and undertake a water diversion project to push water away from the church. St. Margaret School St. Margaret School was constructed in 1956, with six additions between 1960 and 1987. The school’s exterior is fair/poor condition, with the walls requiring new stucco or siding replacement, the report said. The windows and the two rooftop air units also require replacing.

St. Agnes School will receive upgrades, as well as many other schools in the Holy Trinity Roman Catholic School Division. Exterior grading is needed to divert groundwater away from the school, while six relocatable classrooms are old and have major water and mould damage in most of the wooden support joists and beams. The classrooms and have been included for replacement in an application to the Ministry of Education. Holy Trinity plans to spend $181,000 to construct a new roof walkway access, install new library shelves, commission a consultant to develop a needs-based report of the six relocatable classrooms, and install a new sports floor in the gym. The division also hopes to acquire between $800,000 and $1 million in provincial funding to purchase the six new classrooms. St. Michael School St. Michael School was constructed in 1956, with eight additions added between 1958 and 1988. While the school’s exterior is sound, the concrete block structure requires restoration, the report said. Work continues on the school office’s relocation, while staff parking could be increased and pick-up/drop-off locations improved. The division plans to spend between $420,000 and $440,000 to complete the relocation of the office, renovate student washrooms, increase staff parking without

plug-ins and add plug-ins to existing spaces, repave a bus lane, repaving the existing staff parking, replace two forced-air furnaces, enhance drainage, restore exterior concrete blocks, and install new rain spouts. Vanier Collegiate Vanier Collegiate was built in 1966 with additions in 1994 and 1999. The building “is aging gracefully,” although a few items require upgrading, the report said. The running track needs to be replaced, although the division filled cracks in the spring. Meanwhile, two sea cans could be purchased to address outside storage, while an extra student parking lot could be required. Holy Trinity plans to spend between $695,000 and $795,000 to create a second student parking lot, repair or replace the elevator, upgrade the woodshop, repoint exterior bricks, remodel washrooms, replace carpet library, install a wind-break wall, improve the home ec room, install paving stones, upgrade the main entrance, enhance the art room, replace a window, and upgrade electrical areas. Phoenix Academy The Phoenix Academy recently completed its third year at its new location on Fourth Avenue Northeast, so in 2021-22, the division plans to make minor repairs to the building’s exterior. Division office The recent purchase of a new board office has decreased how much money is required for enhancements, with most repairs being minor and completed as requested, the report said. In 2021-22 and 2022-23, the division plans to spend $10,000 each time to replace the floor as required. Other initiatives Holy Trinity plans to reduce electrical costs at all schools by installing LED lights. It has secured additional funding through a federal program to make those improvements. The surfaces underneath several play structures need to be replaced to ensure national safety requirements are met. This would include replacing pea stones with wood chips. The division also plans to remove all SMART-board technology and replace it with whiteboards to improve student learning. That should happen this school year.

Leadership Lessons

As a kid, I participated in many Remembrance Day programs in our small-town school. Our teaching staff were intent on preserving the honorable tradition of paying tribute to those who have fought …and died for our freedom. The gym would be surrounded by posters of poppies, crosses and fallen soldiers; all created by the students of our school. Poems of remembrance were recited, the school choir sang and of course, the flag ceremony of the local legion was an important part of this event. I’ll probably never forget the pin-drop silence before Mr. Ingalls shouted orders to those carrying flags nor will I ever forget the clear sound of Gwen’s trumpet mournfully playing “The Last Post” signifying the close of the ceremony. We will remember them. My great grandma’s twin brother, Sgt. Samuel Arthur Al-

exander was one of those precious people who gave their lives for us. Dated March 5, 1912, one hundred and three years ago, my great-grandmother received notification of his death from S. Raynes Reed, Major C.F.; Chaplain 75th Battalion Canadian: “I regret to have to write to confirm the news, doubtless already received by you of the death of your son, Sgt. S.A. Alexander #657662 75 th Battalion Canadian. He was killed in action on March 1st, when the Battalion suffered heavy casualties among which were also our Colonel and our Adjutant. Your son’s body was recovered and buried near at hand.” There is a monument in his hometown of Burk’s Falls, ON commemorating his memory. I pray that monument is never torn down in light of recent attempts to “remove history.” We WILL remember. My heart is incredibly stirred as I think of the ultimate sacrifice of my dear great- great uncle. He didn’t get to live out his full life because he sacrificed it for me and for you. As Lil Sweet Pea and I took communion this morning, we were also deeply stirred as we thought of the ultimate sacrifice of our dear Savior, Jesus Christ. He laid down his life for me and for you. This morning, as I read the 26th chapter of Matthew aloud, I was moved to tears as I thought of the events leading up to Jesus’ death. In the scriptures, we are reminded to “do this in remembrance of Me.” “…That the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had

given thanks, He broke it and said, ‘Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’ In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death till He comes.” We WILL remember. As we partake of communion, we are bringing to remembrance what Jesus did for us on the cross. He paid the ultimate price for our salvation. “Salvation” in the Greek language means: to save or be saved, wholeness, healing, preservation, wellness. Jesus paid the ultimate price to give the ultimate gift of salvation, wholeness, healing, preservation and wellness. As we take communion, we bring to remembrance what Jesus paid for… and then we can choose to receive His gift each time we partake. The freedom to participate in public communion has been taken away from us at this time, but I urge you to take personal or family communion on a regular basis. We WILL remember.

Unified approach to agricultural sustainability suggested By Ron Walter - For Agri-Mart Express

Canada should be a global leader EXPRESS in setting performance standards in agriculture for environmental sustainability, according to a report done for Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and industry stakeholders. Environmental sustainability of the food supply is becoming an increasing concern with a canvas of food organizations, food companies and governments revealing performance goals are being set, says author Dave McInnes. Delivery of the goals means everybody from food manufacturers, supply chains to producers and government needs to get involved. Three main target themes in goals set are sustainable

sourcing, 44 per cent; greenhouse gas emissions and land use, each 16 per cent. Among farm organizations the Canola Council of Canada has a target of increasing canola production by 26 million tonnes by 2025 and reducing fuel use by 18 per cent. The plan includes safeguarding over 2,000 beneficial insects. The Canadian Canola Growers Association wants to decrease the amount of land to grow one tonne of canola by 40 per cent. Ninety-nine per cent of dairy farmers in Canada are registered in a program that in five years has reduced industry carbon footprint seven per cent and cut water consumption six per cent. The Egg Farmers of Alberta plan to develop barns with no greenhouse gas emissions. The Canadian Round Table on Sustainable Beef has

completed or addressed 86 per cent of items set out as goals in 2020. The Canadian Round Table for Sustainable Crops has developed carbon footprint goals for 10 major grain crops. Fertilizer Canada has validated 15 million acres under the 4r program – Right source, Right time, Right rate and Right place — with a 30 million acre target by 2025. Virtually all input corporations and retailers from Bayer, Coca-Cola to Walmart have environmental sustainability programs with goals. Saskatchewan plans to have 25 per cent of the crop (over 10 million acres) in the 4r fertilizer plan by 2025. McInnes’s agri-food sustainability report suggests a more consolidated approach, rather than by individual groups, to defend our ag sustainability on the global stage.
