Moose Jaw Health Foundation receives $750,000 donation from Mosaic Company Larissa Kurz

Mosaic Company announced that it is committed to an additional five-year donation partnership with the Moose Jaw Health Foundation, which will help supply the city’s hospital with state-of-theart healthcare equipment. Mosaic has donated a total of $750,000 in funding to the MJHF over the next five years, extending a long-standing annual commitment as one of the foundation’s largest donors. “This adds to the nearly $2.2 million the company has already invested in health care in Moose Jaw, and the Health Foundation is just so grateful for this gift,” said MJHF executive director Kelly McElree. “It will change lives [and] we’re able to do that with the generosity of local businesses, people in Moose Jaw and companies like Mosaic.” This year, the generous donation will be used to purchase new surgical equipment for the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital, including ultrasound displays and transducers that can offer live imaging to help identify masses and tumours more efficiently. The new imaging equipment will allow urologists in Moose Jaw to see tumours that are hidden from direct view, bringing a superior level of diagnosis and treatment. Around 1,000 urological procedures take place at Wigmore Hospital each year, said McElree, and new equipment will help the surgical team provide all of those patients with an improved treatment experience and better outcomes. “This will allow our urologist, Dr. Chun Huang, to operate with

an extra level of precision and accuracy, and that means patients will see a quicker recovery time and they can get back to their everyday lives,” said McElree. “It really is a game-changer and it’s only possible because of the generosity of the Mosaic Company.” Further announcements will be made annually, said McElree, sharing how Mosaic’s donations are being used within the hospital each year of the continued commitment. McElree thanked Mosaic for its continued investments into healthcare over the last decade, as the company has provided support to the foundation for many years. “That level of commitment has really inspired a lot of other people and other companies to give, and we’re forever thankful for that,” said McElree. "It really shows how Mosaic understands the importance of healthcare in Moose Jaw." In the past, donations from Mosaic have helped the hospital with purchasing chemotherapy chairs, surgical tools, diagnostic imaging equipment and more, said McElree. Mosaic also played a large part in keeping the hyperbolic chamber here in Moose Jaw, which has improved the hospital’s treatment capacities. “Over the years, whether it was in the old hospital or the new hospital, Mosaic has always been there for us, and they’ve helped virtually every single area of the hospital with their generosity, whether it's pediatrics or geriatrics,” said McElree. “They’re a company that understands investment in the community and what it does to maintain a healthy community.”

WDM re-launching popular Coffee Club program virtually throughout the summer Larissa Kurz

One of the very popular programs at the Western Development Museum is returning in May, and organizers are hoping the new format and interesting topics will entice people from all over the province to attend. The WDM is bringing back the Coffee Club this month, taking the event from it's usual in-person format to a virtual setting. The first event will take place on May 26, welcoming participants to explore the topic of Toys and Pastimes from the early 1900s. Next, on June 30 is a discussion about The Great Depression, and on Aug. 31 the event will look at Saskatchewan Weather and how it affected settlers in the province. The series will wrap up on Sept. 28 with the topic of School Days. Each event will offer a unique exploration of the WDM’s collection in relation to the topic at hand, including historical facts, stories and the chance to look at some items from the museum’s archives. “It's been really fun to develop these themes [and] I’ve had a lot of fun exploiting our collection online,” said Karla Rasmussen, education program coordinator at the Moose Jaw WDM. “And it’s something to look forward to, to try and reconnect and engage with folks even through a computer screen.” All of the topics chosen are things that Rasmussen thought might interest attendees, from learning about what toys their past relatives might have played with, or what they may have experienced attending school in the prairie’s past. “With the Great Depression, I think there’s an interest in that right now because of the hardships we’re enduring [in 2020] with the pandemic,” said Rasmussen. “And I

A selection of artifacts that may be featured in some of the Western Development Museum’s upcoming dates of the Virtual Coffee Club program. (supplied) think it might serve as a source of inspiration, in that people got through that and it wasn’t easy but there’s light at the end of the tunnel.” Some of the items featured during Coffee Club may even be artifacts that are not on regular display, said Rasmussen, which means the program is possibly the only chance to see and discuss their history. “This is an opportunity to kind of go behind the scenes, if you will, and see some of those items that are maybe too fragile to be in an exhibit, or too light sensitive,” said Rasmussen. “And there’s an opportunity to see maybe

some artifacts that aren’t at your local WDM location.” In addition to the presentation, attendees are also welcomed to share their own personal anecdotes related to the session topic, which Rasmussen says is always interesting. All of the new Coffee Club dates will take place from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., delivered via Zoom at no cost for attendees. Pre-registration is required, so that program staff know how many to expect. The Coffee Club has been very popular since it first launched in 2019, as an in-person program to reconnect with WDM visitors who maybe haven’t visited in a while or haven’t seen some of the artifacts the museum has. Now, Rasmussen is looking forward to keeping the program going and welcoming some new faces thanks to the accessibility of going virtual. “The creative process didn’t really stop [when in-person programming did],” said Rasmussen. “We thought, why not open a virtual coffee club but for everyone, not just here in Moose Jaw.” Attendees are welcome from across the province, she continued, and registration is open and available online at wdm.ca/coffeeclub. The WDM has also been working on digitizing its museum collections for an online database of artifacts, which residents are able to peruse at their own discretion on the WDM website. The Coffee Club at the WDM is expected to continue, said Rasmussen, with future dates possibly looking at a hybrid presentation that welcomes both in-person and virtual attendees.

Local watershed stewards still looking for student submissions in annual poster contest Larissa Kurz

The deadline for the annual poster contest from the Moose Jaw River Watershed Stewards is closing in, but organizers are encouraging a few more students to consider entering their artwork for a chance to win some cash prizes. The theme for this year’s contest is “Wetlands and Wildlife,” said watershed technician Stephanie Huel, and she’s inviting elementary students in grades 3 to 6 to submit their own artistic interpretation for a chance to win some prizes at the end of the month. “There’s definitely still time for people to enter, if they were hoping to this year,” said Huel. Entries are open until May 28 for both the Grade 3/4 division and Grade 5/6 division, and any students residing within the Moose Jaw River watershed zone — which includes the communities of Mortlach, Drinkwater, Avonlea, Milestone and Pangman — are welcome to send in a submission. The rural municipalities of Bengough and Excel are also eligible to enter the contest, as they fall under the care of the Moose Jaw stewards. Poster winners will be given a first-place prize of $50 and a second-place prize of $25 in both categories, and will be featured on the Moose Jaw River Watershed Stewards’ social media pages. First-place posters will also head on to the provincial level, competing against other regional winners for a chance at a $500 grand prize, determined at the Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds AGM in June. The provincial watershed regions host the poster contest every year, with the goal to spark some interest in the importance of knowing about one’s local watershed area. Usually, watershed technicians like Huel get to actually visit classrooms to talk about the contest and the local watershed region, but this year she’s doing what she can virtually. She’s looking forward to seeing all the submissions this year, especially since the poster contest is a great way to put out an interactive message about wetlands stewardship. “We really like seeing kid’s favourite animals and how they picture a thriving wetland,” said Huel. “And it's good to get kids thinking about what the wetlands look like. Maybe they don’t know what a wetland is, so it gives them the opportunity to really look around.” For Moose Jaw’s local watershed executive director Carmen Kaweski, the poster contest is a great opportunity for younger students to do some research on watersheds

and learn some new facts about the area they live in. “[Contests like these] really help us engage with the communities within our watershed,” said Kaweski. “We want to remind people about the importance of wetlands, and that when you have a healthy watershed, you have healthy wetlands and in turn, a habitat for wildlife [and] it's a fun activity for kids to do a little research.” For students interested in taking part in this year’s poster contest, entry forms and instructions are available on the Moose Jaw River Watershed Stewards website. Submissions can be texted to Huel at 1 (306) 630-5574, emailed to admin@mjriver.ca, or hand-delivered to the watershed office. Photos or scans of posters are fine, said Huel, but winners heading on to the provincial competition will need to provide the original copy of their poster at that time.

It’s good to see that our community continues to go forward with optimism heading into summer months. Thanks to Mosaic Company, the Moose Jaw Health Foundation has a little extra money to the tune of $750,000 in their coffers over the next five years to help supply the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital with state-of-the-art healthcare Joan Ritchie equipment. This year, the donation will be used for surgical equipment EDITOR – ultrasound displays and transducers for imaging and identifying masses and tumours more efficiently that will greatly benefit the urology department to provide improved treatment with better outcomes. Who doesn’t enjoy a cup of coffee? The Western Development Museum has re-launched their coffee club program to go virtually through the summer as an exploration of the WDM’s collection with associated themes. Starting on May 26th, with other dates of June 30th, August 31 and culminating on September 28th, the coffee club will take place from 10-11am via Zoom and there is no cost for attending. Pre-registration is required and available online at wdm.ca/ coffeeclub. Don’t forget the coffee! Congratulations to Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery for their recent Sask Arts Award for exceptional leadership, along with a cash prize, too! We always have known this is a first-rate gallery and has proved so over the last 55 years. Check it out!

Golden Ticket Sports, specializing in player, coach, official and multi-sports events and tickets apparently plans to invest more than $300,000 into building upgrades, in a fiveyear agreement with the City of Moose Jaw. Although opening the Seventh Avenue SW bridge finally has been a relief for the families that were affected, there seems to be a little more “water-under-the-bridge” according to Robert Thomas who has garnered information from the City of Moose Jaw through FOI’s.

EDITOR Re: To Mr. Lukiwski MP: No longer able to vote PC

Dear Mr. Lukiwski, MP: In preface: I am 3 weeks away from being 72 years of age, my wife, Heather is a few years younger. I have voted Progressive Conservative my entire voting life, except for once when I voted Social Credit, and once when Heather and I were missionaries in East Africa and found we were unable to vote. We find that we can no longer vote PC, for the following reasons: · your party is no longer a right of centre party. You have moved left to join the Liberals and the NDP. In fact, the only difference between today’s PCs, Liberals and the NDP is the name on the party stationery, and the name of the party leader. Other than that – no difference. · your party has discarded the morés, feelings, thinking of Western Canada (Saskatchewan and Alberta) in order to fit in with Ontario and Quebec. They are out to destroy our economy and your party is tripping over its feet to fall in line. · your party has thrown away all ethics, morals and traditional values. E.g. your leader, Mr. O’Toole, has thrown his weight behind gender specific abortion – which means, that in some cultures, males babies are valued above female babies. Therefore, abort female babies. But O’Toole is too stupid to see that. And if you don’t stand up to him on this issue, that makes you no better than he is. · I respected Andrew Scheer. He had morals and ethics and he stood up for them. O’Toole has neither. Maybe you don’t know this, but in the last general election, the PCs outscored the Liberals. I think Mr. Scheer garnered about 35% of the popular vote, to Trudeau’s 30%. But due to the

Re: Sharing Inspiration First, let me say how much I enjoy your editorials, each one, and especially this last one with comments regarding the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It was very thoughtful of you to publish the Charter in the May 12 issue. Many of us in Moose Jaw (in the country) may not even be aware, as we should, of what it says. If people carefully read it they would quickly see how our freedoms are being taken from us under [certain] guises. But my intent in this email is not to discuss what is happening. I want to share the following correspondence with you. A dear friend of mine, now approaching her 90th birthday, emailed me the following: “My day is another one of feeling I am not ‘redeeming the time.’” I replied: “Thanks for sharing -- as to ‘redeeming the time,’ well, I sometimes feel that I’m just ‘filling in time,’ not really useful to anyone, only waiting for His coming! But my (our) waiting has to be seen as ‘occupying ‘till He comes.’ We study to know Him, to worship and praise Him, to grow in grace, to pray His will be done, and His kingdom to come. It’s a season in life -- being older and less involved, less active, that calls for its own kind of faith. It’s also learning to be content in our situation. She answered with the composition of this beautiful poem:

Re: Response to letter re: Prince Philip I must admit to being very skeptical of the idea that Prince Phillip would be without any security at all. As he once said in an interview he would be totally unable to get away to have an affair! He was a tall man at 6 feet by anyone’s standards. I also very much doubt that he would be derogatory about his family. My personal opinion is that he would not get drunk, nor have drugs. The image that Richard Dowson gives, of someone who has recently died and

imbalance in the way ridings are dealt with by Elections Canada, the PCs lost the election. Totally unfair. General elections favour Ontario and Quebec, and totally ignore Western Canada. · Mr. O’Toole, within a couple of days of winning the PC leadership, came out in favour of abortion and the LGB agenda. And now in the last couple of weeks he has come out in favour of gender specific abortion – meaning he favours the abortion of little girls. He’s supposed to be a feminist – yeah, big joke. · O’Toole had previously promised to do away with the Carbon Tax if elected. Yeah, right. Now he’s jumped on the Liberal bandwagon. He’s in favour of the tax. Hey – no big deal. He’s a politician right. That means his word cannot be trusted. · One last thing. I was taught MANY years ago in elementary school, that Canada was a Representative Democracy. That means, Members of Parliament are there to represent the interests and ideas of their constituents, and the wants and wishes of the party come somewhere down the line. However, that is not what we have in Canada. In Canada we have a tyranny of the party. Whichever party gets elected immediately forgets who their electors are, and promptly goes its own way. Right now, we have a dictatorship, with Justin Trudeau as the dictator. You guys are not helping the issue. Sure, you can blame it all on Covid, but that’s a cop-out. · We had respect for Andrew Scheer. Unfortunately, due to the actions of your leader, we have none for him. So, Mr. Lukiwski, my wife and I are considering joining the Buffalo Party. Even if we don’t actually become members, we will certainly vote for them. You didn’t lose our votes – you threw them away, through your arrogance and uncaringness. David and Heather Hildebrandt

Someone has clicked the button that says “Pause” And shut us in with many unconstitutional laws We sometimes feel we’re just “filling in time” And although we’re not exactly “in our prime” We want to be useful and a blessing to someone -But especially to God the Father and His Son. But His plan for this time is for us to know Him more clearly To love Him more dearly and follow Him more nearly, And look at our waiting as “occupying till He comes” -Our lethargy gone as we pray “Thy will be done”. Teach us too as we wait, in our faith to mightily grow, Reveal Yourself – help us understand how much we owe. Through trusting You, may we learn to be content Until that instant comes -- that great event When the trumpet shall sound -- and we shall be changed In the twinkling of an eye – this You have ordained. And now Lord, give sleep – and in the hymn writer’s words Drop thy still dews of quietness ‘til all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, and let our ordered lives confess The beauty of thy peace.

Re: What are the ins and outs of critical thinking in the modern world of Politics and Political Accountability? No Critical Thinking whatsoever when the Medias become nothing more than Marketing and Promotion of Political, Legal and Constitutional Garbage. What is Canada? Canada is alleged to be a “Constitutional-Based Democracy” governed by “Constitutional Responsible Rulers.” Where do these terms come from, established in the United Nations Charter and refers to Canada’s Constitution Act 1867 and Constitution Act 1982, a.k.a. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, “Constitutional-based Democracy” governed by “Constitutionally Responsible Rulers,” CANADA’s domestic and international obligation. Contrary to popular belief or misinformation, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is in fact and LAW a Constitution which is not separate and distinct from the Constitution Act 1867, but every provision and principle contained in the Constitution Act 1867 is referenced and included in the Constitution Act 1982, along with references to International Laws adopted by Canada, established when the United Nations was created, Universal Declaration on Human Rights (1948), In the Right of Canada or a province, Her Majesty the Queen of England when Canada was formally Governed by the British Monarchy.

EDITOR and meaning of the United Nations Charter, until 1982, when PE Trudeau created the Constitution Act 1982, the Last Act of Canada Enacted by Her Majesty the Queen of England, Canada a Sovereign and Independent Nation in the United Nations as Enacting Power and Authority was Transferred from Her Majesty the Queen of England to Her Majesty the Governor General of Canada, or office, Protector of the Constitution Acts 1867 and 1982. So, what does this mean? It means that Federal Laws in Canada In the Right of CANADA or a province are Paramount in and of and throughout CANADA, In which all LAWS created by provincial Legislature shall be “consistent” with Federal LAW, as guaranteed by this Charter – the Charter does not protect or guarantee rights or freedoms, LAWS Protect and guarantee Rights or Freedoms, the LAWS Enacted by the Parliament of Canada will always be Paramount as Canada is a Member State in the United Nations and not separated through provincial or Jurisdictional boundaries or borders. The Charter is the Supreme LAW of CANADA and all LAWS of the provinces shall be “Consistent” with the Supreme LAW OF Canada – No Indifference or Intolerance allowed IN CANADA through Political Division or Dominance, Cooperative Federalism, as LAWS protect and guarantee Rights and Freedoms in Compliance with the Universal Declaration on Human Rights (1948) as that is Canada’s domestic and international Obligation to Protect and Guarantee the Rights and Freedoms of ALL Canadians as “Constitutionally Responsible Rulers” without Political Indifference, Intolerance or Immunity In and Of and Throughout CANADA, LEST WE FORGET. So, in a primitive sense, how do Parliament and the provincial

Legislature’s protect and guarantee the rights and freedoms of ALL Canadians? Enshrining Rights or Freedoms in LAWS, is no right or freedom Exist in Federal LAW, then the right or freedom does not exist in CANADA. No Canadian is protected or guaranteed with Fundamental Rights and Freedoms through the guidance of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights (1948). The Rights and Freedoms contained in LAWS at the time the Canadian Charger of Rights and Freedoms was enacted were rights or freedoms that Existed IN CANADA in all provinces. Cooperative Federalism requiring Parliament and all provincial legislatures constantly enshrine Rights or Freedoms in Federal LAW which shall be “Consistent” with provincial LAW, Equality for all Canadians as Rights or Freedoms Contained in LAWS of CANADA enacted by the Governor General of Canada shall be enacted by the Lieutenant Governors in each province, no Charter Challenge Required, a Foundational principle in the Constitution Act 1867 Contained in the Constitution Act 1982, within the Jurisdiction of CANADA. So, if LAWS of Canada were not amended to address a Global Pandemic Declared by the World Health Organization, then Canadians have no rights or freedoms implied in LAWs of CANADA, or LAWS of provincial Legislatures, not protections, no guarantees. Canada is no longer a constitutionally-based Democracy governed by Constitutionally Responsible Rulers in violation of domestic and International Law, Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948), In the Right of Canada or a province.

Three people from region running in this year’s Métis Nation election Moose Jaw Express staff Three people from the region are running in this month’s Métis Nation-Saskatchewan (MN-S) election, which will feature many pandemic-related precautions to protect voters and prevent the spread of COVID-19. Wendy Gervais, Wayne McKenzie and Calvin Racette are vying to be the representative of Western Region 3, which borders the eastern edge of Regina, goes south to the U.S. border, north to Strasbourg, and then west to the Alberta border. Therefore, municipalities included in this area include Moose Jaw, Mossbank, Assiniboia and Swift Current. Regional returning offices opened on April 24 and started accepting votes on May 14, while the official Election Day is May 29 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., chief electoral officer Gwen Lafond explained in a news release. When voting, voters will need their Métis Citizenship Card or a letter from the registry stating they are registered as a Métis citizen, a valid Saskatchewan health card, and an approved identification such as a driver’s licence or something showing name and address. Voting by mail or other forms of contactless voting are not allowed under the Saskatchewan Métis Elections Act, 2007, Lafond said. So, MN-S has taken several measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and ensure voter safety. Pro-

An example of some equipment purchased to protect voters and election workers. (Photo courtesy MN-S) tective equipment has been secured, such as face masks, barriers between voters and election officials, hand sanitizer, disinfectants and single-use pencils. The polls will also be set up to encourage physical distancing. Voters must be 16 years of age on election day and must be a resident of Saskatchewan for at least six months before election day. Voters can only vote in the region where they live, while they must register once they arrive at the voting location. Métis Nation-Saskatchewan has 12 regions throughout the province where citizens can vote. Voting at MN-S offices

takes place from May 14 to May 21 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. in the office of the regional returning officer. Meanwhile, advance polls and mobile polls are on May 22. Voting in advance polls and on election

day in Moose Jaw occur at the Heritage Inn. Twenty nominations were filed for the four executive positions and 34 nominations were submitted for the 12 regional representative positions, the news release said. Two positions have already been acclaimed. Those running for president are Clem Chartier, Karen LaRocque, Glen Hector McCallum and Mary Ann Morin. Those running for vice-president are Darrel Burnouf, Darren Deschambeault, Michelle LeClair, Dale McAuley and Gerald Morin. Those running for secretary are Beckie Belanger, May V. Henderson, Lisa McCallum, Craig Henry Morin and Ashley Norton. Those running for treasurer are Earl Cook, Louis G. Gardiner, Melvina Goulet, Harmonie Amanda King, John Robert LaFontaine and Dennis Langan.

Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery wins Sask Arts Award for exceptional leadership Larissa Kurz

The Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery has been recognized for outstanding leadership as an organization at the 2021 Sask Arts Awards. (photo by Larissa Kurz) The Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery emerged from the 2021 Sask Arts Awards victorious on May 10, winning an award for excellent leadership in the arts community. The MJMAG has received the Leadership Award as an organization, after being nominated alongside the On The Boards Staging Company and Sage Hill Writing. “It’s just great to have the work that we’re doing, the programming that we do, recognized on a provincial level,” said curator Jennifer McRorie, on behalf of the entire organization. “It’s really special to be recognized, by the colleague who nominated us and then also to be nominated with such other prestigious organizations who are really making a difference in the arts in the province.” The Moose Jaw entity was nominated due to its large contributions to the provincial arts community, with just a selection of relevant accomplishments listed in the nomination biography. Highlights of the past fifty years include the MJMAG’s continued commitment to diversity and inclusion in policy and programming, the many annual events the

organization hosts to make art accessible to the public, and its world-class exhibits that have been shown as far away as Sydney, Australia and Tokyo. The MJMAG was also recognized for its involvement in founding the inter-provincial collaboration project, Small Cities Art Museums, which brings a collective of galleries together in a network for sharing exhibits. “It’s nice to have that boost of confidence in our programming. It kind of feels like an acknowledgment that we’re moving in the right direction, and gives us a sense of empowerment,” said McRorie. As this year is the gallery’s 55th anniversary, McRorie said that winning an award for leadership feels extra heartwarming as it puts a spotlight on the many years of hard work members at the MJMAG have put in. “It is a special honour this year, and especially after having such a challenging year because of the pandemic. It’s really gratifying and affirming to know that we’re appreciated for what we do,” said McRorie. McRorie thanked all of the MJMAG’s past and present staff, supporters, and contributors for their work to make the organization so successful. “We acknowledge too that this award is for our whole 55-year history as well, to acknowledge the impact the organization has had,” said McRorie. “This isn’t just for the current staff, but for all of the people that have preceded us as well, going back to Norma Lang.” In addition to the recognition, the title also comes with a cash prize, which McRorie said will be discussed by the board at a later date.

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS

Do you remember these?

The band Gates of Dawn was playing nightly in the Regal Room of the Harwood’s Moose Jaw Inn and Friday evening entertainment in the Starlite Lounge of the Union Centre was Country Squires. The Year was 1973 and the month was October — do you Joyce Walter remember these? — as the For Moose Jaw Express Statler Brothers once asked. ronjoy@sasktel.net My memory was jogged by a very yellowed newspaper entertainment section that for some reason I had saved from Oct. 19, 1973. Even after looking through the pages, I could not fathom the reason it was important enough to be stashed away for 42 years. But today it provided some interesting tidbits about life in Moose Jaw in that era. It didn’t, however, indicate whether Gates of Dawn was the Gothic rock band from Germany by that name, or a provincial group of the same name. Nor did I learn whether the Country Squires came from Wyoming, or from Medicine Hat. A few blocks north on Main Street, at the Westward Motor Inn (previously and now again The Grant Hall) Luis Dimas was performing nightly in the dining room. A cover charge of $1 was in effect Monday to Thursday with $2 requested Friday and Saturday. Reservations were also required. Dimas packed the house most nights and was a highlight of the Moose Jaw entertainment scene, making return visits by popular demand. He was an easy person to in-

terview, readily answering every question asked and even some that hadn’t been posed. “Mr. Bojangles” was my very favourite song that he performed. In addition to the Harwood, Westward and Union Centre, the Royal Hotel had nightly entertainment; the Ensign Lounge at the Anavets Club had musical groups for dancing on Fridays and Saturdays as did the Royal Canadian Legion. They weren’t mentioned but the messes at RCAF Station Moose Jaw also had regular weekend entertainment. Paper Moon with Ryan O’Neal was playing at the Capitol Theatre with five shows on Saturday and two shows on other days of the week. The theatre was closed on Sunday. Thursday was seafood night at the Matador Inn on MacDonald Street, with prime rib or Hawaiian ham steak offered on Sundays. “Relax in the Old World charm of the Conquistador Lounge weekdays from 11 a.m. until half past midnight,” the advertisement said, encouraging guests to stay in the 24 luxurious and air conditioned units with colour TV and courtesy coffee in each room. Fast family snacking was being offered at the National Cafe and Arbor Room where booth or counter service was available. The restaurant was closed Wednesday. Anyone needing a rental car could obtain one at Scott Ford and pay as low as $7 per day or eight cents a mile. Or folks could book a nine day jet/sea cruise from Reidy Travel to visit five countries, leaving Bismarck, N.D. via air charter. Before leaving on holiday, ladies could receive a 20 per cent discount on $15 or $20 perms or get a curly cut for $7.50 at the Mona Lee Beauty Salon in Athabasca Towers. For entertainment at home, Ashdown’s at 755 Main St.

N. was selling 20 inch colour televisions for $429.99 or 13 inch TVs for $349.99, these having true to life colour reception. Over at the Co-op hardware department, a 26 inch cabinet colour TV was going for $749. A feature selling point was the finest veneer cabinet with casters plus an automatic degaussing system (relating to magnetic fields.) The jackpot was $750 in Game 43 of the radio and newspaper bingo game. Swingin’ Sam’s Tape City was expecting the arrival of Christmas stock any day now, and Paul’s TV Rentals was giving reduced vacation rates to customers renting televisions. Charcoal broiled steaks were on the menu at the Ambassador Cafe, women could shop in air conditioned comfort at Heasman’s Ladies Wear, cowboy boots were selling for $25-$30 at Gemmell’s Shoes at 426 Athabasca St. E., and a great line of typewriters was available at Dowie’s Stationery at 471 Main St. N. With six branches eager to provide service, Moose Jaw Credit Union was offering nine per cent interest on one to five year deposits. Oh yes indeed, those were the days my friend, we thought they’d never end. This Reflective Moments originally appeared in the Moose Jaw Express edition on May 27, 2015.

Mother wants ‘harmful breathing barriers’ taken off students immediately Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Forcing children to wear “harmful breathing barriers” — or face masks — in school is abuse, so the face coverings should be eliminated immediately, a Moose Jaw mother says. Tannis Brideau and her husband, Ivan, gathered at the Prairie South School Division (PSSD) board office on Ninth Avenue Northwest on May 12 to protest the continued mandate of forcing students to wear masks all day. The couple was surrounded by signs that said, “Breathing Barriers and Gov’t Policies Are Killing Us,” “PSSD — $4.5 million to Uphold Gov’t Narrative,” “Doctors, Nurses Teachers Muzzled,” and “Children Report — No Breathing Breaks Allowed!” “Get children out of masks; they are abusive. They (children) are at zero risk of the virus and they are at zero risk of transmission,” Brideau claimed. Brideau held up a pamphlet that questioned the use of masks. The document, produced by Chris Schaefer, a respirator expert and owner of SafeCom Training Services in Edmonton, raises concerns that N95, surgical or non-medical masks do not reduce the likelihood of transmitting the coronavirus. According to the document, N95 masks filter particles with a size diameter larger than 0.3 microns, while COVID-19 particles are 0.08 to .12 microns in size. Furthermore, viruses can enter the human body through the eyes and skin, which means a hazmat suit with self-contained breathing apparatus is the only safe solution. Schaefer also wrote that surgical masks, non-medical masks and homemade masks are dangerous. This is because they are not engineered for effective purging of exhaled carbon dioxide, can cause oxygen deficiency,

said. “I got a letter the next morning saying thank you and they would look into things,” she said. “They never said they would take off the masks from kids.” Brideau wanted to speak again at the June board meeting, but education director Tony Baldwin declined her request since she had already spoken about the pandemic. Baldwin told the Moose Jaw Express in an email that he had no comment on Brideau’s protest but appreciated that she hadn’t disrupted anyone visiting the board office. He also confirmed that there was no need for Brideau to speak a second time on the same issue. “Ms. Brideau appeared as a delegation in May, and I have agreed to share any additional information she may wish to share if she provides that information to me,” he added. Research is showing that many children do not want to Signs surround Ivan and Tannis Brideau as they pro- go to school anymore due to masks and heavy-handed test the continued use of masks in schools.

It has a 99-percent survival rate,” she added. “Unless more of us stand should change their approach to this issue. “… I feel I was silenced. There was no discussion,” she up, they’ll remove more of our freedoms.”

Proposed abortion bill is one-side and anti-women, pro-life group says Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express A Saskatchewan NDP MLA’s proposed bill to create “bubble zones” around abortion clinics to prevent women from supposedly being harassed is one-sided and anti-women, a national pro-life group says. Saskatoon-University MLA Jennifer Bowes introduced a private member’s bill on May 12 titled An Act to Provide Safe Access to Abortion Services. The bill would ensure women have their “constitutionally protected right to access health care, free of harassment and intimidation” while also protecting health-care workers and service providers who perform abortions. Elements of the bill include establishing access zones up to 150 metres around the clinic to prohibit intimidation of patients; ensuring no person can repeatedly harass or intimidate abortion workers in-person, by phone or online while attempting to dissuade employees from doing their jobs; and giving $5,000 fines for a first offence and up to $10,000 fines for subsequent offences. “It is far too common to hear stories of patients being aggressively harassed while trying to make the best medical decisions for their reproductive health,” Bowes said in a news release. “No patient or health-

care and service provider in this country should ever face harassment and intimidation for accessing or providing an essential service.” There are two main problems with this proposed legislation, Tabitha Ewert, legal counsel for national pro-life advocacy group We Need A Law, told the Express. The first is that it attacks freedom of expression for people who hold pro-life beliefs. The bill doesn’t target general demonstrations or signs but focuses specifically on pro-life gatherings and messages. That is why bubble zones around clinics are one-sided, she pointed out. Two women could stand together, with one holding a sign saying “I don’t regret my abortion” and another with a sign saying “I regret my abortion,” and only the latter would be considered illegal. “That (type of legislation) is something being challenged in the Ontario courts right now. We’re still waiting for a ruling on the constitutionality (of it),” Ewert said. The second issue is what the proposed bill says about women and how it bans information for them, she continued. Women don’t need protection from information; they need more of it to make informed

Twice a year, for-life supporters in 950 cities across 64 countries gather in front of abortion clinics during 40 Days for Life to hold signs and be “prayerfully present,” explained Jean Landry, president of Moose Jaw Right to Life. There is very little evidence of demonstrators harassing women during these events, but there is evidence of women expressing gratitude for the support they received since some The new Moose Jaw Right to Life Centre were unsure about ending their pregnanis located in the basement of First Bap- cies. tist Church at 1010 Main Street.

SGI rebate cheques on the way Larissa Kurz

SGI customers can keep an eye on their mailboxes, as they should soon be receiving the promised one-time rebate cheques announced earlier this year. Approximately 709,000 rebate cheques were set to be mailed out beginning last week, to continue over the next three weeks. The large volume of cheques means that customers should expect their rebate to arrive between mid-May and mid-June, said a press release. Multiple customers in one household may not receive their rebates at the same time, as they were mailed individually. Rebates are being issued to any entity that had registered a vehicle in Saskatchewan between 2018 and 2020,

A Distant View

Marc Legare is a philosopher and motorcycle adventurist. He has travelled extensively, worked and lived in Australia, US, and across Canada. He has a varied working career including: Firefighter, Lawyer, Navy, Motorcycle Importer, plus others. He chose to return to southern Saskatchewan because of his family’s deep roots here. As a columnist, Legare’s columns will offer food for thought. When it comes to time, we think small. Most of us view time in a framework of a day, week, month, or year. What about our time in history? What does our time look like compared to the thousands of years of past human existence? No matter what we disagree on when it comes to right and wrong, good or bad, or any of our immediate daily concerns, we can all agree our modernity has placed upon us extremely unusual lives, unknown by previous peoples.

and that meets the residency requirements as of Feb. 26, 2021. This includes individuals, non-profit organizations and businesses. The total value of rebates issued is $285 million, with the average rebate per participant estimated at around $380. An estimated 1.7 million registered vehicles were eligible, including motor vehicles, motorcycles and snowmobiles. Rebates that were under $5 were not issued a cheque, said SGI, and will instead be credited to the customer’s account. Customers are advised to make sure their mailing address is up-to-date with SGI, in order to receive their re-

bates more easily, and to be patient with the mail system. If you don’t receive your cheque by June 30, SGI recommends calling the Customer Service Centre at 1-844-TLK-2SGI (855-2744).

Our Place In Time Nothing in human experience compares with the changes our present day world has undergone. More importantly, those changes have taken place in a millisecond relative to the totality of the human era. We see technology as normal, however, when we look back, even a couple of generations, we recognize our modern existence is anything but normal. Most people of old lived the same consistently similar life as the previous generation. Their lives were predictable. The rate and extremeness of our changes make our current world the opposite. None of us know what the future is going to be for ourselves or our children. Nothing from the past remotely compares to the over-powering and globalized nature of our technological revolution. Taking a step back makes us realize we are living in an experiment. We are in a universal test tube and it is imperative to look at our modern world as being not typical. Doing so offers us a much needed objective vantage point. That vision can help us acknowledge we might be making fundamental mistakes, or worse, be on the wrong path altogether. We welcome with open arms every new scientific and hi-tech advancement and believe we are better off for it. Is that not an overly quick conclusion? From a “time in history” viewpoint, it is anything but clear if all this will be a net good. Are there not some dark clouds looming as a result of the speed at which our lives are changing? Can the human

psyche deal with the rate at which change is occurring? Is it damaging us on a deep spiritual, social, or psychological level? It is disconcerting that in our hell-bent race forward, those questions are not being asked. The plain truth of the matter is we have no idea where we are going or what we are doing. We are moving at a dizzying pace without pause or reflection, yet rumination is exactly what is currently needed due to the unprecedented times we live in. Whatever your viewpoint, we would do well to acknowledge that our present moment in history is but a grain of sand in the enormous timeframe of our species. We are messing with too many things too fast and our gigantic social experiment has an unknown and yet unpaid price tag attached. That alone is cause to show some degree of caution. If we fail and our new-aged world falls apart, I wonder if those who look back on us will be kind. That is doubtful because we do not look so kindly on people in our own history books. More likely, if our experiment goes sideways, they will remark what fools we were for not seeing it coming; because for some, it seems obvious. Let us keep in mind the words of C. Palahniuk, “We will be remembered more for what we destroy than what we create.”

Historically, it makes the initial cost investment easier to justify. We are seeing people spending money in their backyards to create outdoor extensions of their homes. The housing market [continues to be] on the rise, even in areas that have been affected by declining economies. With boomers downsizing and millennials entering into the housing market, the competition for medium priced homes in specific areas has created pockets of higher pricing.

With so much competition for these specific neighbourhoods, buyers are settling for houses that don’t really meet all of their needs because it’s all they can afford. How do these buyers make their new homes work for them? One way is the addition of an outdoor room. This concept of the outdoor room has been very popular for years in warmer climates because homeowners can use these spaces for more months throughout the year. Historically, it makes the initial cost investment easier to justify. We are seeing people spending money in their backyards to create outdoor extensions of their homes.

Here are the basic requirements to creating an outdoor room in your own backyard. 1. Useable Space. Having a level surface is probably the single most important factor for an outdoor room. Whether you go with a patio or a deck, creating a space that is large enough for furniture, barbeques, family and friends has always been the challenge for most homeowners. How big and what material to use really dictates the design of your backyard. A Cost vs. Value report states adding a wood deck to your back yard is one of the top smart investments in your home. Even patios, which are a larger initial investment are showing huge returns with new products and stone designs.

at the back to do all the work. Adding panels and details around the sides of the outdoor room work like interior walls. They easily add the privacy, but make them functional as well with built in benches and shelves. Every renovation we make to our homes not only has to meet our needs as homeowners, it should also increase the home’s value. 3. Shelter. Putting up an umbrella just doesn’t cut it for todays outdoor rooms. With wood pergolas and all season gazebos, shelter from the sun and the rain is a must for extending your outdoor enjoyment. Even permanent structures complete with eaves are appearing in our backyards. These are perfect for protecting from the elements including the heavy snow loads like we are now recovering from.

2. Privacy. Creating privacy for an outdoor room is harder than ever with bigger homes being built on smaller lots. The view that your neighbours have into your backyard really impacts the comfort level in your own space. You can create privacy for your outdoor room by adding walls and visual distractions between the areas that you need it and the neighbours. Don’t rely on the fence on the property line and the tree

Every renovation we make to our homes not only has to meet our needs as homeowners, it should also increase the home’s value. This idea of return-on-investment (ROI) has arguably become the most important factor influencing how we spend our renovation budgets. If you can create a home that works for your family and at the same time know that it’s the type of home a future buyer wants: then it’s a win-win in my books!

BACK YARD LIVING Backyard barbecuing is back!

This year with pandemic restrictions relaxing a bit, the backyard barbecue is a great solution for getting together and enjoying a day in the yard with a few friends. As the host, you will be spending a fair amount of time in front of the grill so it’s important to prepare in advance. Here are some tips to help you create an evening to remember. Plan a menu early and make your list of ingredients. For every meal item and specialized cocktail you will be serving, itemize all the ingredients that will be needed and purchase them in advance. After shopping, be like Santa and check your list twice to make sure that all the ingredients necessary have been purchased so that you aren’t left in a bind at last minute. Many experienced grillers like to have a signature dish or drink to show off a little so if that’s you, go for it; your guests will certainly be impressed! As well, if you are familiar with your guests, take into account any allergies they may have and possibly provide al-

ternatives if necessary. Get your meat in order! Organize it in order of how it should be grilled – rare, medium or well-done to facilitate a well-executed plan to save time. Although having all of the food laid out on the table might look nice and appealing, it is probably a little impractical to do so. Some foods spoil quicker under the sun and you will soon be aware that you have also attracted insects to your party. Prepare for those pests that weren’t invited; citronella candles or chemical free bug spray, tiki torches, wasp deters or whatever it takes for the guests to be comfortable. It’s best to plan to bring the courses out progressively, but if they are all outside in coolers or wherever, keep everything under wraps until the unveiling. Find a large enough container to fill with ice to keep your drinks cool and readily available for self-serve. Make sure that “no man is left standing,” so prepare enough seating to accommodate everyone. Of course,

socializing and moving around is totally acceptable in this informal gathering so have tables positioned strategically to sit or stand at and for a placing drinks and food on. Remember to also have trash containers stationed in the yard for throw-away items and your recycling bin close at hand to deposit recyclable materials. No backyard barbecue is complete without music so get out the Bluetooth and play your favourite tunes to set the tempo – rock n’ roll; the oldies, all-time favourites, or whatever you fancy to create an experience. String lights as sparkling reminders as the sun goes down, to set a magical mood. Another nice touch is to have some cozy wraps readily available for anyone that may get chilly as the evening progresses. Who doesn’t like a game or two to pass the time? So whether it’s darts, croquette, charades or socializing verbal games, it brings out the fun…for a barbecue to remember.

BACK YARD LIVING Budget-Wise ways to create outdoor rooms

Transform an ordinary outdoor space into an open-air living room that adds value and comfort to your home yearround. Bring the Living Room Outside Have a humdrum porch? A basic patio or a neglected deck? Some simple additions—a hanging swing, mood lighting, a vintage find or two—are all it takes to transform an ordinary outdoor space into an open-air living room that adds value and comfort to your home yearround. Build a Rustic Swing Encourage guests and family members to sway on a slatted-wood porch swing. Hang it with sturdy ropes, rather than chains, for a natural look. Make sure the rope is rated to hold at least 600 pounds, and check regularly for wear. Mood Lighting Candle lanterns hung from a hook in the ceiling or placed on tables or railings

ODLAW PROJECTS

lend a subtle nighttime glow. They’re also easy to move where you need them and require no wiring.

Indoor Appeal If your porch is covered, bring living room furnishings, such as this wool rug and rocker, outside. Set back from the porch’s open edges, they’ll be safe from the weather. Dramatic Entrance Hinge an old garden gate between a pair of wood posts to define your patio entry. Ornate wrought-iron gates can be purchased or found at salvage yards at a fraction of the cost of a new handforged gate.

Dual-Purpose Planter Perch a metal farm trough atop chunky balusters to create a raised planter or, filled with ice, a party-perfect bar. Vintage troughs can be pricey, so pick up a new trough that will develop a patina over time. Mirror, Mirror Reflect light and create the illusion of a window into another room with a wallhung mirror. Make your own by fitting a cast-off divided-light window with mirror glass.

Greenery Grow climbing vines, such as grape, over an existing pergola to provide extra protection from the sun and rain. Patios To turn a basic concrete or stone pad into an inviting outdoor room, start by creating a sense of enclosure—your home’s exterior walls or even a row of potted plants will do the trick—and, ideally, some overhead protection. Then use colorful accents to add personality. Bold Backdrop Turn a blah wall into a focal point. Red stain and barrel tiles can give a concrete garden enclosure a Southwest feel.

Container Plants Small patio becomes a verdant oasis with potted plants. Low-water options, such as sedum and Russian sage, require little care. Flagstone Floor A dozen stones arranged in a free-form pattern can easily turn a small patch of grass into an intimate dining area. Grow grass between the stones or choose a traffic-resistant groundcover.

Table for Two A bistro set is inexpensive and small enough to fit on a tiny patio. Choose sturdy but lightweight sets for maximum movability. Bench Border If your deck is low enough not to require a railing, build a bench around the perimeter to provide seating and a sense of enclosure. A bench can wrap two sides of a deck, but you could build a smaller version on just one side using leftover deck boards for the seat and pressure-treated 26s for the supporting structure. Wall Art Add a furnished feel by hanging ornaments, such as a fountain, on your home’s exterior wall.

C h i l l y d ay s w a r m e d b y c o o k b o o k s By Joyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express

When the spring weather is chilly and gloomy outdoors, a fine way to brighten one’s mood is to leaf through favourite cookbooks and browse through the family recipe boxes. Those times of contemplation will produce a variety of feel-good moments as one remembers the history of the various recipes and the many pleasant times they have been prepared for family and friends. This week’s recipes bring on fond memories from past get-togethers. •••

Baked Pork Chops

6 boneless pork chops 1 tsp. garlic or onion powder 1 tsp. seasoning salt 1/4 cup flour 2 eggs, beaten 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs 4 tbsps. olive oil 1 can cream of mushroom soup 3/4 cup milk

Moose Jaw Hometown Fair cancelled for a second year due to pandemic restrictions Larissa Kurz

Although it was a tough decision to announce, organizers of the Moose Jaw Hometown Fair and Parade have confirmed that for the second year in a row, the hugely popular summer event will not be taking place due to pandemic-related concerns. Both the fair and parade, originally slotted to take place on June 23 and June 2427, will once again be impossible this year due to concerns over gathering sizes and financial logistics. “We waited as long as we could [to decide this], as we didn’t want to pull the pin on it until we felt we had to,” said George Fowler, general manager at the Moose Jaw Exhibition Company. “But we had to be able to do it safely, to protect everybody that was coming, and there’s just no way.” Saskatchewan is set to be in Phase Two of its re-opening plan in mid-June if vaccination targets are met, which means the regulations would allow a crowd limit of up to 150 people at outdoor public venues. But the Hometown Fair and Parade typically draws thousands of attendees to

the midway, explained Fowler, and so the crowd capacity for the event would be far too low to be feasible. An event of that size typically comes with a large operating price tag, said Fowler, and the revenue from crowds of only 150 people at a time likely wouldn’t be enough to cover those costs. “We need thousands of people on the grounds to pay those costs, and we would never be able to get the midway operator here with restrictions like that, because he has to have full crowds in order to pay for bringing all of his stuff out,” said Fowler. “Security costs are also very high and so are our entertainment costs, and the numbers just won’t work.” Moving the event to a different weekend wasn’t an option either, said Fowler, as it would mean the British Columbia-based midway operator likely wouldn’t be available at all. The midway company is typically on its return trip to B.C. through Saskatchewan when they stop in Moose Jaw, and it’s not likely they will be able to turn around for a postponed date.

Fair enthusiasts will have to wait another summer to enjoy the midway at the Moose Jaw Hometown Fair, as the 2021 event has been cancelled. (file photo: Larissa Kurz) “They have a route that they work off of [and] so if you miss your date, you’re not going to get them back out,” said Fowler. “It's a sad part, you know, you can postpone some things about the fair, but not the midway.” Although it's disappointing to cancel the beloved event again, Fowler said that organizers are keeping a positive attitude about seeing the fair and parade return in

2022. Planning typically begins in September, which Fowler feels will offer a clearer perspective on whether big traffic events like summer fairs will be possible. “Hopefully we’ll be able to feel comfortable to be able to have a fair next year,” said Fowler. “We miss people up here, and everybody has a good time at the fair, so it's nice to see people enjoy things.” Fowler also hinted that a 2022 Hometown Fair and Parade may see an appearance from the RCMP Musical Ride as a stop on their tour, who haven’t performed in Moose Jaw in six years. “They’ve indicated to us that they want to be here next year during our fair dates, so that's a really good possibility,” said Fowler. “They’re always a really good show and a great piece of entertainment.” Until then, Fowler and many others in the Friendly City will be crossing their fingers for the return of the city’s largest summer event in the future. “I’m really looking forward to 2022 and I hope we can put on a great fair then,” said Fowler.

City wins national award for its succession planning project Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The City of Moose Jaw has won a national award for its succession planning project that it started four years ago and sees senior managers mentor up-and-coming younger employees. The Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators (CAMA) announced on May 11 during a virtual ceremony that Moose Jaw had received the 2021 CAMA Professional Development Award in the 20,001 to 100,000 population category. This award recognizes a community that has developed a unique and innovative program for its staff and can be replicated in other communities. CAMA pointed out that many employees in senior leadership at city hall are approaching retirement, so the municipality rose to the challenge to start preparing staff to take on those roles. This is the first time the City of Moose Jaw has won this award. “I’m excited. It’s our peers (who judged us). It’s all the cities across Canada that

are in these competitions and applying for awards … ,” said city manager Jim Puffalt during an online media scrum on May 12. “It shows that what we do is innovative and rises to the top and is something that other people will be talking about how they can emulate.” Winning a national award is a “really big deal,” said Al Bromley, director of human resources and the architect of the initiative. This is the single-biggest honour of which he’s been a part during his career with the city. The team at city hall is pleased with this recognition. This plan has become important to the culture at city hall since it allows management to find that next level of talent to fill roles, said Puffalt. A municipality needs to have that corporate history to share with its next level of managers. The succession planning initiative began in 2017 after management realized it had no plan for succession planning or career development, Bromley explained.

A chance webinar with author Michael Timms led to steps to develop the program; Timms was brought in to help train managers in succession planning, delegating and career coaching. City administration later had 60 employees participate in focus groups and help refine the plan’s pillars of leadership excellence, four criteria that focused on what defines a leader. Administration then rolled out the program in June of 2017 and pitched the initiative to employees throughout the city. Senior managers also identified 12 critical positions that needed to be addressed for the future and the need to determine and recruit internal candidates quickly. There are currently 21 career coaches mentoring 56 career owners who have enrolled in the succession planning program, Bromley said. Of 14 career owners nominated for critical positions, two have advanced to those roles in the past year: Bevan Harlton, who is now the di-

rector of engineering services, and Darrin Stephanson, who is now the director of public works and utilities. The municipality has also supported career owners in their development plans, from one-off courses to workshops, online training, and furthering their post-secondary education. Although there is no age by which people must retire, the leadership team has several people who have extensive experience and are approaching retirement, said Bromley. The senior leadership team determined four years ago that by 2022, one-quarter of staff in most departments would retire, including some senior staff. “My colleagues … really look for opportunities to do things differently (and) to produce different results,” he added. “Our team are quite willing to make personal sacrifices for the greater good of the community and our organization.”

ment for seniors in Crescent Park could finally happen this year. At least four pieces of equipment — a stationary bike, pull-up bars, an arm bike, and a set of stairs for step-ups — are planned for installation adjacent to the spray pad, after the committee for the 2018 Saskatchewan Senior Fitness Association 55-plus Provincial Summer Games presented a cheque for $8,819.86 to the City of Moose Jaw’s parks and recreation department on June 20, 2019. This proposed equipment is similar to the gear installed along the Spring Creek pathway between Ninth Avenue North-

She wondered if it would happen this year and whether parks and recreation was waiting for more funding. “There will be stuff installed this year,” said Derek Blais, director of parks and recreation. There are a few grant applications that the department wants to submit while it plans to leverage the funding it receives, he continued. Once the intake programs close, parks and rec will know more and could install the equipment this summer.

City Hall Council Notes The next regular council meeting will be held on May 25.

Hillcrest Sports Centre could offer indoor beach volleyball under new agreement Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

If you’ve been eager to play indoor beach volleyball or find a location that offers numerous pickleball or basketball courts, the Hillcrest Sports Centre could soon offer those amenities. During the May 10 regular council meeting, city council unanimously approved a five-year lease and operating agreement between the City of Moose Jaw and Lloydminster-based Golden Ticket Sports Inc. to start June 1. The mayor and city clerk were authorized to sign the agreement, while city hall will establish a Hillcrest Sports Centre capital reserve fund for annual capital contributions that Golden Ticket Sports will have to make. The company — which specializes in player, coach, official and multi-sport events and clinics — plans to invest more than $300,000 into building upgrades during the next few months. Agreement information “The agreement provides the city (with) an opportunity to maximize community access to the Hillcrest Sports Centre while providing much-needed indoor gymnasium space in the community … ,” Derek Blais, director of parks and recreation, told council. The municipality’s responsibly is to ensure the building remains structurally and mechanically functional, which requires annual funding investments, he continued. Golden Ticket will assist by providing five per cent of annual revenues to a maximum of $25,000 annually to the reserve fund. The parks and recreation department will budget $10,000

annually for building maintenance. By June 1, the department plans to spend $50,000 to improve air quality, repair the roof, upgrade the boilers, upgrade emergency exits and assess the roof. Golden Ticket will have to consult with city hall before establishing or increasing rent and fees, Blais said. Meanwhile, either party can terminate the agreement with one year’s notice, while city hall can terminate the agreement upon 90 days’ written notice if it is forced to close the building due to unforeseen circumstances. Golden Ticket Sports — which has experience in operating recreation venues — submitted a detailed business plan as part of its expression of interest to operate the building, with the plan having a strong community-focused vision, said Blais. The business expects to make improvements to the building — starting immediately and finishing by July — such as: • Installing a hardwood gym floor; • Adding more basketball nets and portable hoops; • Creating a volleyball net system; • Adding a scoreboard; • Updating interior and exterior painting; • Replacing fixtures in washrooms and change rooms; • Adding a reception desk; • Installing a beach volleyball area. Golden Ticket Sports has committed to affordable rental rates with discounts for prime tenants and non-profit groups, Blais continued, and it is willing to work with

NOTICE OF SECOND CALL FOR NOMINATIONS RURAL MUNICIPALITY OF REDBURN NO. 130

Cliff Wheatley appointed to appealsJasonboard for two-year term G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express City council has appointed resident Cliff Wheatley to the development appeals board for a two-year term. Wheatley submitted an application to the city clerk’s office on April 30, expressing an interest to serve on the board. To ensure the board has a full complement of members, the office recommended to city council that Wheatley be appointed as the fifth member. His term starts immediately and expires on Dec. 31, 2023, or until a successor is appointed. Council approved the appointment during the May 10 regular council meeting.

existing tenants and groups on long-term agreements. It must also promote activities that build up the community’s social, cultural, recreational and educational aspects. Council reaction “This is good news … ,” said Coun. Heather Eby. This deal came about because the construction of Mosaic Place left the sports centre mostly vacant, she continued. Furthermore, even before the Yara Centre was built, some residents didn’t believe a recreation centre would work. That assumption was proven wrong and the Yara Centre has been successful, while this new venture is expected to be equally successful. “… I just think it’s fantastic,” Eby added. With Golden Ticket taking over, the community will see the building revitalized and continued to be used, as another recreation location, said Mayor Fraser Tolmie. The fact the municipality will only need to invest $10,000 per year while Golden Ticket — which has a proven track record with sports — will look after the rest is a “big bang for the buck,” he added. Pickleball and basketball will certainly be highlights, but it will be interesting to see how indoor beach volleyball works, said Coun. Crystal Froese. The last time Moose Jaw had an indoor beach volleyball court was in Joe’s Bar on River Street. “One thing I’m really encouraged by is the capital reserve,” she added. “This will help the building’s longevity and look after an asset of the city, which is really a key to the success of any organization.”

PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that nominations of candidates for the office(s) of: COUNCILLORS:

There are currently four members on the development appeals board, but it has typically consisted of seven people, a council report said. Having a larger number of members on the board ensures that quorum can be met for meetings. “There are still some spots available on board. If there is anyone out there (interested), it would be great to have more recommendations for this board,” said Coun. Heather Eby.

City Hall Council Notes

Council declines resident’s refund request due to failures to obey clean-up orders Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

A 20-year history of non-compliance with property maintenance clean-up orders is one reason city council refused to give any more support to a property owner at 560 Stadacona Street West. During the May 10 regular meeting, council denied a request from resident Linda Cooney for a refund of $2,500 that she paid to city hall as a non-refundable deposit, which was necessary to meet the requirements of a one-month extension to a demolition order that council gave on Oct. 19, 2020. Background Cooney had to submit an engineer’s report about an existing basement foundation — a fire destroyed the home in 2015 — and acquire a building permit by Nov. 19, 2020, to construct a new home to receive the refund, a council report explained. However, she did not include information in the application about the proposed home’s energy efficiency, which forced a building official to send two letters and

contact Cooney and an energy designer asking for the data. The designer — the second one hired — did not start drafting plans until mid-January and had complications due to Cooney’s delays. While Cooney applied for the building permit before Nov. 19, city hall did not issue the document until March 30, 2021, because of the missing data, the report added. Presentation Cooney spoke to council in person about some of her actions to clean up her property. She argued that she should receive back her $2,500 deposit since she had provided a satisfactory engineer’s report about the foundation. “As you know, everything is extremely expensive. The price of wood has tripled in the past year. It’s just incredibly expensive (to build a home),” she said. The conflict with the energy designer was because he wanted to install argon gas windows while she didn’t, since the seals

crack easily and they are not energy efficient, Cooney continued. She spoke to a building inspector in Regina and Moose Jaw about the type of windows she wanted; both agreed that her choice was acceptable. “I don’t have money to buy those (argon gas) windows and then 10 years down the road buy other windows,” she said, adding it cost her almost $700 for the services of the energy designer. Council discussion “This is so difficult because I feel like I’m Judge Judy trying to figure these things out. But given what we know, there has been adequate time given for the resident to (address this issue),” said Coun. Heather Eby. While there were many hoops through which Cooney had to jump, these tasks need to be done, she continued. Council cannot keep extending clean-up orders, especially since it laid out in October how Cooney could receive her deposit back.

This property has a history, it has affected the neighbourhood, and it has been before council at least five times previously, said Coun. Crystal Froese. She was glad to see Cooney finally building on the lot. “This worries me because of the history of non-compliance. We keep coming back to this,” said Coun. Jamey Logan. “… the city doesn’t like to take $2,500 from people, but I’m not sure what else to do. Perhaps we look at keeping this deposit until substantial completion and occupancy (occurs).” This council and previous councils have told city administration to address derelict properties and run-down buildings and increase standards, said city manager Jim Puffalt. While city hall sympathizes with Cooney, there is a list of properties throughout the city that need addressing. “Some of these have gone on for quite an extended time,” he added. “We have expectations that the work gets done and we hold people to the bylaws.”

Resident given another two months to clean up property Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Property owner Blair Zopf has received another two-month extension to clean up his property even though what he really wanted was an extension to October. Zopf initially appeared before city council on March 8 to appeal his property maintenance order and was given until April 8 to submit an engineering report about the home on his property. He also had until May 15 to complete the work. He began some clean-up work and submitted a report from a structural engineer on April 6, which said there were no concerns with the house’s structural integrity. According to a city council report, he also obtained demolition permits and removed a set of stairs, a deck, and a detached garage. “The completion of this work alleviates the greatest safety concerns on the property,” the report said. Meanwhile, there are still six issues Zopf must address, such as protecting the exterior wood siding and sheathing, replacing rotted exterior frames and doors, and repairing eavestroughs. Zopf explained in a letter to council that he would not complete every requirement by May 15 due to contractors’ schedule, the weather, and the availability of supplies — some difficult to obtain due to the pandemic — and so asked for a deadline of Oct. 1. During the May 10 regular council meeting, council voted 6-1 to give Zopf an extension to July 15, as recommended by city administration.

Coun. Kim Robinson was opposed. Presentation Zopf gave a virtual presentation to council and discussed his progress to clean up his property and fulfill the maintenance order. He explained that exterior painters have not been able to start since the evenings have been too cool for the paint to dry properly. However, he expects those contractors to start soon since the weather is improving. Meanwhile, Zopf’s general contractor hopes to start building a new porch soon, and a quote is needed to replace shingles damaged during a January windstorm. “I’m working hard on it and I’m not sitting around … ,” added Zopf. “I have more to do. I’ll keep working on it until I get the contractors in there.” Council discussion Based on what Zopf has done and how he’s addressed most safety concerns, council should give him an extension to Oct. 1, said Robinson, who then introduced a motion to that effect. The reason city hall recommended the July 15 deadline is because Zopf has complied with most of the clean-up order and addressed concerns, explained building official Lisa Eritz. However, city hall wanted a firm completion date to ensure this didn’t continue indefinitely or face problems in October. “Based on that (explanation), I think October is pushing a bit too far out,” said Coun. Heather Eby. “If it came to July and he was still having trouble getting build-

ing materials and contractors, we could extend again. But if we leave it to October, it’s weather (issues).” Coun. Jamey Logan had no problem giving Zopf more extensions if necessary, particularly if the issues don’t relate to procuring materials since such items can be found locally. Besides, Logan added, Zopf should complete “a good chunk” of the outstanding issues by July. Zopf will likely know by the end of June whether he needs an extension, said Michelle Sanson, director of planning and

development. If that occurs, this issue will come back to council for approval in July. Coun. Doug Blanc was torn with how long of an extension to give, since an October deadline was too long while July wasn’t long enough. Instead, Blanc thought an Aug. 15 deadline would be sufficient. Council then voted 5-2 against giving an extension to Oct. 1; Robinson and Blanc were in favour while the rest of council was opposed.

Families relieved that six-year struggle to reopen Seventh Avenue SW bridge now over Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The Avery and Thorn families are breathing a sigh of relief now that the Seventh Avenue Southwest Bridge has reopened, more than six years after ice damaged the structure and forced its closure. The City of Moose Jaw officially announced the bridge’s opening on May 12, after contractors finished all work on the structure three days earlier. Harbuilt Construction — which started work on March 2 — installed steel piles and caps so the bridge could handle light vehicles and pedestrians. It cost $832,032 to rehabilitate the bridge, give it a load rating of 10 tonnes, and extend its life for another decade. Heavy equipment, such as fire trucks, still has to go through the Valley View Centre (VVC) property, but ambulances and smaller emergency vehicles can use the bridge. “About time,” chuckled Tim Avery while standing near the bridge. “We had it figured at 2,250 days (since the bridge’s closure). I think it’s great, finally (that it’s open).” A reopened bridge removes pressure from the family since the Avery children can be transported to school more quickly, he continued. Wife Corinne sometimes made six total trips through VVC since

the kids had different schedules. It now takes the family two minutes to take the children to school instead of 15 minutes through Valley View and up Highway 2, while a school bus can now cross the bridge to pick up the kids. Both families also now have access to municipal services such as garbage pickup and snow removal. Avery estimated that both families made 10,000 trips through VVC during the six years while going to and coming from work. Since it was a roughly five-kilometre round trip, they likely travelled 50,000 kilometres during the past six years. “I’m happy not to have to do that anymore,” Avery said, adding it was a long fight with city hall to fix the bridge. During the interview, Coun. Heather Eby and a friend walked past and paused briefly to chat. “I think it’s fantastic,” she said. “I will put that on my list of accomplishments as a city councillor, for sure.” Deb Thorn, in a separate interview, agreed that having the bridge open again was exciting. “We are absolutely thrilled to see the bridge reopened and really excited to see people using it and enjoying the valley,”

The families are relieved that the bridge is open so they can travel for work and school easier. (Photo by Jason G. Antonio) she said. “It’s just a great day, a great day.” The thought of not having to go through a locked gate anymore or facing a jail-like chain-link fence removes a large mental burden, she continued. It’s also a relief not to have to fiddle with a locked gate in the winter. The families appreciate the community’s support since that assistance and backing from city council ensured this problem received attention, Thorn said. “We just cannot express our appreciation for those councillors who saw that vi-

sion for the city,” she remarked, adding construction crews were also great and worked seven days a week. Thorn joked that both families would grab dynamite and blow up damaging ice chunks when future ice jams happen. However, she noted that the bridge rehabilitation improved its strength and lengthened the structure’s life beyond a decade. The past six years have not been easy since the families spent plenty of money on legal challenges against the city, Thorn said. She thought it was unfortunate and frustrating that it took 18 months and required a lawyer to have council address this issue. Yet, a new council with a new view resolved this problem. “It gives me great hope that other things (infrastructure issues) in the City of Moose Jaw will be dealt with with common sense and some sensitivity to taxpayers … ,” she said. “That piece of infrastructure — the Seventh Avenue Bridge — is a critical piece of that whole part of our social environment in Moose Jaw (since it allows residents to access Wakamow Valley). So, I think it’s going to be tremendous.”

Rhino’s Ramblings - A Bridge Over Troubled Waters By Robert Thomas - Opinion/Commentary This week’s re-opening of the 7th Avenue SW bridge was met with a lot of appreciation by Moose Jaw residents. After close to six years vehicle access has been re-stored to that section of the Moose Jaw River valley using 7th Avenue SW. For the two families who own houses on the south side of the Moose Jaw River they now have a more immediate access to the north side of the river rather than taking the longer drive involving going through a locked gate blocking the legal road allowance. Their role on the issue continuing after the bridge re-opening is now out of the picture. A gate locked by a Vancouver based developer who is looking for off-shore investment dollars in order to develop the former Valley View Centre property was the catalyst that forced the issue. But were their actions altruistic? With that said though the area is now teaming with people eager to rediscover what was lost with the bridge’s closure. The re-opening of the bridge is seen as a victory for two families after a lengthy battle with City Hall, but what if I told you there is another narrative to the story going on here. Would you believe me? Or would you just mark it down as a conspiracy theory? Through a series of documents obtained by MJ Independent through Freedom of Information (FOI) request we will piece together the puzzle about what really happened behind the scenes when it came to the re-opening of the 7th Avenue SW bridge. At the February 22nd special Council meeting Councillor Dawn Luhning said there was a third option which had not been included when it came to the 7th Avenue SW Bridge. An option involving access through the legal road allowances running through the former Valley View Centre property. For Councillor Luhning this third option was much

cheaper and would allow the residents and others access. But what exactly was Councilor Luhning talking about? It is all about a series of letters the City sent out first to the Province and then to Carpere Canada - the new owners of the former Valley View property - about a cheaper access to the south side of the Moose Jaw River. Letters which Administration provided to Council and then were discussed in a series of in-camera meetings. The cheaper access would utilize government owned road allowances and building a road around any buildings encroaching on those road allowances. It was an issue the City saw brought to a head by Carpere who simply illegally locked the gate. In a November 12, 2020 letter from city manager Jim Puffalt to John Zhang, CEO of Carpere Canada states “As indicated in my letter to you of July 29, 2020, the City was in negotiations with the Province to establish a permanent road through the property prior your purchase; and, we gave notice of intent to continue those discussions with you as the new developer.” (See letter on MJ Independent website cited at the end of this article) So the City was in fact negotiating with the Province to utilize the existing legal road allowances to allow access for the two families and everyone else to access the south side of the river. Something property owners Carpere Canada did not want. This fact is backed up in a separate FOI made by MJ Independent to the Province. A solution costing an estimated $75,000 and hundreds of thousands of dollars cheaper than the $800,000 plus unbudgeted cost of repairing the bridge. The letter goes further by stating there is a “perceived need to re-open the 7th Avenue bridge. If not for the blocked access through Valley View, there would be no need to reopen the bridge.” But what perceived need was there when it came to the 7th Avenue Bridge? Well there was a series of stories - ten in fact - about the need to re-open the 7th Avenue Bridge in the Moose Jaw Express. Articles which the City responded to they were not allowed to have their say on the issue before publication. This despite the fact the City’s policy is not to negotiate through the media. In fact the City went even further with the Moose Jaw Express and complained about the biased reporting on the entire 7th Avenue SW bridge issue. But what was Carpere’s response to all of this? In a November 3, 2020 Carpere Canada stated they did not want to become involved “in a sensitive community matter that does not involve us.” The letter goes on stating Carpere was wanting to continue their discussions with the City on other issues related to their proposed development on the former Valley View property. The letter was cc’d to Deb Thorn who coincidently at the time was the project manager of Carpere Valley Developments (CVD). CVD is the division of Carpere tasked with negotiating the proposed development on the former Valley View Centre site. Ms Thorn left her employment prior to the decision being made to approve the 7th Avenue SW Bridge. But it should be noted the lawyer for the two families involved, David Chow, at the special February 22nd meeting of Council discussing the bridge, asked not only about the temporary nature of the proposed bridge re-

pair given the proposed development but also the transfer of lands to the Wakamow Valley Authority by Carpere Canada if the development was given the go ahead by the City. “That’s certainly an issue the planning and development department can get back to you on,” Puffalt said at the time to Chow about Carpere’s plans, adding “the land for Wakamow is a completely different issue at this time.” But why did Carpere want to stay out of the issue? The easy answer is money. To put it simply the City’s position was the cost of repairing or replacing the bridge was something Carpere should help pay for. The City saw Carpere as a major benefactor from the repaired or replaced bridge as their proposed development of the former Valley View Centre property was directly tied to the 7th Avenue SW bridge. No bridge meant no residential development. In a December 16, 2020 letter (letter can be viewed on MJ Independent website cited at the bottom of this article) to Carpere Canada the city manager wrote “As you have noted the 7th Avenue bridge is required for your proposed development.” In that letter Pufflat wrote “…the City of Moose Jaw requests that Carpere 50 - 50 cost share the bridge development.” In response Carpere said in a letter dated December 21, 2020 (pls note all attachments can be viewed on MJ Independent website cited below) they should not have any financial obligations to repair or replace a bridge damaged in 2015. It was not their financial responsibility. Carpere stated there had “been no motion passed directing you (City Manager Jim Puffalt) to seek a cost sharing of the impending bridge repair with our company.” But did Administration need a motion to take the cost sharing option with Carpere? It needs to be noted that all of the documents in this opinion piece were shared by Administration to Council at the time. The issue had been discussed in-camera and there was most likely a tacit approval - although no official vote from Council for Puffalt to request a cost sharing agreement with Carpere regarding the 7th Avenue SW Bridge. In the end though the City changed its position when it came to Carpere cost-sharing the 7th Avenue SW bridge. Council voted in favour of the repair at the special meeting with little comment other than Councillor Luhning pointing out the cheaper option - which the documents show was a major plank in the City’s position - was not part of the recommendation and Council discussions that evening. Council voted in favour of the unbudgeted bridge repair and there was public jubilation. The bridge was repaired and negotiations continue on Carpere’s proposed residential development. Conditions which may be too bitter for the City to swallow.

Saskatchewan Economic Development Week

Saskatchewan Economic Development Week was proclaimed from May 9 – 15 in Moose Jaw, as well as May 10 recognized as Indigenous Economic Development Day. Unfortunately, the Moose Jaw Express did not receive the press release from the City of Moose Jaw until end of day May 10 so the information did not appear in last week’s edition pertinent to the week proclaimed. We also believe economic development in our city is very important and wish to see this city grow and prosper, as well as recognizing Indigenous Economic Day for their economic endeavours and plans for future development with New Southern Plains Metis Local 160 and Kawacatoose First Nation. “We recognize all of the sectors that contribute to economic development in Moose Jaw, with special thanks to the businesses that have persevered for over a year during

the pandemic,” said Mayor Tolmie in the press release. The City of Moose Jaw says they are “proud of several economic developments and initiatives in the past year providing economic growth and employment opportunities: - Servicing of the new Canadian Tire development on Thatcher Drive East; - Servicing of the new SK Power Great Plains Power Station in the Agri-Food Industrial Park; - Announcement of new joint-use school; - City and Moose Jaw & District Chamber of Commerce partnering on Virtual Moose Jaw Marketplace; - City working with the Chamber to assist local businesses impacted by COVID-19; - City working with Downtown Business Association to enhance aesthetics and infrastructure for an enhanced Downtown experience for residents and visitors.”

Drug treatment court has saved the lives of crystal meth users Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

\The Moose Jaw Crystal Meth Strategy Committee is highlighting how drug treatment court has helped former drug users turn around their lives after participating in the intensive program. Meagan Jasper, 31, started using crystal meth when she was 16 years old but has been clean and in recovery for 3.5 years. Starting in 2016, she participated in the Regina Drug Treatment Court (DTC) for 13 months. She explained that the program gave her stability, accountability, and structure to recover from her addiction. DTC required Jasper to live in an approved sober-living residence with curfews, participate in weekday programming, and perform random drug tests. Programming also included plenty of group work using Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), the premiere cognitive-behavioural treatment program for substance abuse and offender populations. The therapy helps

participants learn about their addiction and make the necessary changes to their thinking, behaviour and lifestyle. “(MRT) helped me change the way I think,” Jasper told the committee. “I don’t think I’m a victim of my circumstances anymore and (MRT) taught me to go from dishonesty to honesty.” It was also helpful to have other individuals in the program at different stages of recovery since support from peers and those with addictions experiences brought a different level of credibility, she continued. Being called out by her peers was helpful. Drug treatment court is different from regular criminal court since program team members are encouraging, friendly and supportive, Jasper said. She was initially surprised when she watched court participants tell their stories and team members would cheer and clap — not something that normally happens in court

— after hearing about the positive progress. Attending DTC graduation after 13 months in the program was a thrilling moment for Jasper, particularly since her family — with whom she had experienced periods of estrangement — attended the event. Another DTC participant whom the crystal meth committee has featured is Chad Kobelsky, who graduated from Moose Jaw DT in February 2020 after 13 months in the program. Kobelsky told the committee that his addiction to crystal meth caused him to lose everything, including his relationships and money. When he was on the drug, Kobelsky said that he didn’t care about his life or the trouble he was experiencing, so he sold drugs to support his habit. This led to serious criminal charges, which created the chance to participate in DTC. It took Kobelsky a few months in the program’s assessment phase to clear his

thinking so he could commit to making genuine efforts in his recovery, he told the committee. Factors that supported his recovery included being accountable to the court system, mandatory treatment, random drug screening and a supportive team. MRT helped him to “look back on decisions I made that made me think about things like, ‘Was it worth it?’” he said. Learning about relapse prevention and becoming involved in the community — including volunteering at Riverside Mission — also helped him become stronger and healthier. Graduating from drug treatment court was “bittersweet,” Kobelsky said. While he appreciates that participating in DTC was an important accomplishment in his life, he was disappointed to lose the support from people who helped him along the way. “(DTC) ultimately saved me,” he added.

Joining drug treatment court program a lengthy, but freeing duty for users Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

People who acquire criminal charges must go through the regular court system, but an alternative mechanism exists outside that for people struggling with drugs. Moose Jaw Drug Treatment Court (DTC) is a substitute to secured custody for people with addictions who have received one or more criminal charges. Potential participants must plead guilty to the offences to be eligible for the program, typically lasting 13 to 18 months. The program provides support, structure and expectations to help up to eight people with their addictions recovery while holding them accountable for their criminal charges, Stacey Simms, DTC co-ordinator, told the Moose Jaw Crystal Meth Strategy Committee recently. Moose Jaw’s DTC program began in 2009 and receives funding from the Ministry of Justice. The program also receives support through in-kind partnerships with the Saskatchewan Health Authority (mental health and addictions), the John Howard Society, the Ministry of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety, Legal Aid and the Ministry of Social Services. DTC is a team process involving Crown prosecutor(s), a defence lawyer, judge, program co-ordinator, addictions counsellor, probation officer and an income assistance worker, Simms said. The designated Crown prosecutor determines whether someone is eligible for the program, initiates referrals and submits applications to the probation office, which vets the file before approval. Once admitted to the program, participants attend court twice a month to report on their progress. If progress happens, this brings rewards such as extended

curfews and reduction of conditions. However, sanctions — such as increased conditions, short periods of remand or community service work — can be imposed when expectations are not followed. Participants will also attend the Matrix program, an intensive outpatient treatment group that the health authority offers, focusing specifically on treatment and recovery from stimulate use. “The DTC program is a lengthy commitment. The participant progresses through the program based on a combination of clean screens and completing program requirements,” Simms continued. A participant’s journey through DTC starts with an assessment phase that lasts a minimum of 30 days, she explained. During this time, the participant and the court system decide if DTC is the right fit. Once a participant completes the assessment phase and is accepted into the program, he or she will enter track one. The program consists of the assessment phase and three tracks. Progress through tracks is determined by criteria, while there is no maximum time that can be spent on each track. Once requirements are completed, a participant can apply to the treatment team to move to the next track. Graduation from DTC occurs once all track requirements are completed. Random urine screens are also integral to the program. DTC participants who have not been able to demonstrate progress may be returned to the traditional court system.

Board of Police Commissioners The next Board of Police Commissioners meeting is Jun. 8.

Police to purchase machine for safer handling of toxic drugs Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

With police regularly encountering deadly drugs such as Fentanyl, the Moose Jaw Police Service (MJPS) has decided to purchase a machine that allows members to handle these toxic substances safely. The Latitude Series C Filtered Hood uses a rear wall filtration system to pull away potentially harmful particulate from the operator’s breathing zone in an even horizontal airflow path, increasing particulate and vapour capture. A microprocessor controller constantly monitors the filtration system and alerts the user with audible and visual alarms if airflow or filter problems occur during operation. The police service expects the machine to cost $14,094.54 and will pay for it using the equipment reserve control account. The Moose Jaw Board of Police Commissioners also agreed with the police agency’s pursuit of this device and unanimously approved a motion during the May 11 meeting to spend up to $15,000 for the purchase. Police presentation “We are seeing an uptick in Fentanyl in the province and Moose Jaw as well. We’ve taken steps in the past by issuing our members Naloxone (nasal spray) in the event they are exposed to Fentanyl, or they have to treat someone who’s overdosing on Fentanyl,” Deputy Chief Rick Johns told the board. Fentanyl is dangerous since it carries a high risk of overdose and potential death when used, he pointed out. There is also a large risk to officers accidentally overdosing when encountering this drug or any drug laced with Fentanyl.

The Latitude Series C Filtered Hood will help the Moose Jaw Police Service more safely handle toxic drugs. (Photo submitted) An occupational health and safety (OH&S) concern has also been identified when officers handle Fentanyl or any drug — such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and morphine — laced with that substance, Johns continued. During drug investigations, officers must handle, weigh, and extract samples for testing, package, and exhibit drugs. The area where this currently happens lacks sufficient ventilation. The MJPS has handed out 55 Naloxone kits to its members since January 2020, and officers have attended 55 overdose situations where EMS personnel have used the kits 16 times on people who required medical attention,

said Acting Supt. Cameron Lewis. “We have seen a really significant — in the quantity of cases we do — growth with Fentanyl. I think more so with the Fentanyl being laced or intertwined with other drugs is a higher concern,” he continued. This includes the arrest on May 7 of an Edmonton man for a firearms incident. Officers discovered 16 ounces of cocaine during the investigation, which they believed was laced with Fentanyl. Naloxone — also known as Narcan — is on every officer and is kept throughout the police building, especially in the cells, said Johns. Headquarters reminds officers to use extreme caution when handling cocaine because of the possible presence of Fentanyl, said Lewis. It could take months before lab results show whether that substance is present in cocaine. “We do not have high seizure rates of Fentanyl. For the most part, what we’re seeing here in town is low-level use, and so the quantities tend to be very small or trace amounts … ,” he added. It’s important to support officers and address the OH&S issue with safe practices and proper training, said Commissioner Mary Lee Booth. In health care, for example, universal precautions are taken to protect staff with personal protective equipment. As for officers carrying Naloxone, Booth thought it was an important tool to have for safety. “This is a good (move) for us,” Mayor Fraser Tolmie, board chairman, said. “(However), it’s not a purchase I like because of what we’re dealing with in the community.”

Crimes against people and property declined in April, data shows Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw police responded to fewer concerns about crimes against the person and against property this April versus last April, although officers have responded to more calls overall. There were 36 crimes against the person reported last month, compared to 42 incidents in April 2020, according to the Moose Jaw Police Service’s (MJPS) monthly crime statistics. Year-to-date, officers have responded to 149 issues compared to 188 incidents a year ago, for an overall decline of 20.7 per cent. The data showed that this April versus last April, there were: • Assaults, including sexual, common, with a weapon, aggravated, and against police: 24 / 20; • Robbery: 0 / 2; • Threats: 2 / 10; • Domestic disputes: 10 / 10. Meanwhile, there were 51 crimes against property in April compared to 93 in April 2020, for a decline of 6.4 per cent. The data shows: • Break-ins to businesses, residences, other: 17 / 20; • Motor vehicle thefts: 1 / 10; • Theft over $5,000: 1 / 0; • Theft under $5,000: 21 / 41;

• Arson: 0 / 1; • Property damage over $5,000: 11 / 21. “These are not trends; this is a snapshot in time,” Police Chief Rick Bourassa said during the Board of Police Commissioners meeting on May 11. “Trends happen over time.” The number of impaired driving incidents rose to 10 in April from three compared to last year, an increase of 29.2 per cent, he pointed out. However, this does not mean there are more such incidents, only that the police and Combined Traffic Services of Saskatchewan members focused more heavily on this area. “This is a very much police-driven statistic,” Bourassa added. Year-to-date (YTD), there have been 31 impaired driving charges compared to 24 the year before. Meanwhile, there have been 222 incidents YTD of offenders failing to comply with their court orders compared to 218 during the same time in 2020. The data also showed for other offences YTD 2021 vs. 2020: • Vehicle collisions over $1,000: 69 / 83; • Provincial liquor infractions: 49 / 52; • Summary offence tickets: 680 / 417;

• Cocaine: 1 / 3; • Cannabis: 5 / 2; • Methamphetamine: 7 / 1; • Other CDSA drugs: 7 / 4. Overall, total calls for service are up 2.3 per cent over last year, to 4,618 issues from 4,514 incidents. The total number of pandemic-related calls to which police have responded this year is 60, compared to 58 during the same time last year, the data showed. Freedom rallies have been held here almost every weekend for several months now, with the same three to four people driving around, said Supt. Devon Oleniuk. However, there has been more momentum for these events in places such as Saskatoon and Regina. For example, Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada, spoke to hundreds during a recent rally in Regina. The Moose Jaw Police Service’s plan for these events remains consistent in that it will continue to monitor these rallies, Oleniuk said. Patrol officers handle the rallies, acquire intelligence, and ensure they don’t infringe where they shouldn’t. “Of note, we’re looking at this from a provincial level … so we’ll see whether that changes any of our approaches,” he added.

Police board applauds officers for work helping residents and other agencies Jason G. Antonio- Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw’s Board of Police Commissioners has lauded several police officers for their efforts to support residents through their difficulties and help other police agencies. During the board’s May 11 meeting, the Moose Jaw Police Service highlighted the actions of Const. Jacques Geyer, Const. Rod Zoerb and Const. Jeremy Anderson during the past couple of months. Two emails and a news article discussing the officers’ efforts were part of the board package. Pedestrian collision Geyer was on patrol near Fairford Street and First Avenue Northeast on April 9 when he saw a speeding motorist nearly hit a woman walking across the street, the email explained. He immediately chased after the driver and gave her a ticket. “Thank you very much to the officer!!!” the pedestrian wrote. “Hopefully, he noticed all the bystanders in Crescent Park cheering him on as he went after her!” On the email printout, Police Chief Rick Bourassa wrote, “Const. Geyer, thank you for keeping our streets safe!” Training officers Zoerb spent four hours in Regina on April 10 providing

service pistol learning assistance to three recruits with the Saskatchewan Police College (SPC), an email said. Zoerb had little notice about the training session, which was a necessary component of the SPC recruit training program. “Your patience and expertise as a firearms instructor was well received by the recruits,” wrote acting director Denis Eberle. On the email printout, Bourassa wrote, “Const. Zoerb, thank you for your leadership and commitment to improvement!” “We contribute a lot of resources to training recruits … at the Saskatchewan Police College, and Const. Rod Zoerb was able to step in when the college had a sudden demand,” Bourassa told the board with a chuckle. “He made the time and went out. He takes his training duties very, very seriously, and he is an excellent firearms instructor.” An approving judgment Anderson was patrolling Main Street on April 2 when he pulled over a motorist who was speeding. The officer discovered the driver was impaired and, during the arrest, also learned that the man was a military veteran dealing

with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), according to a news article. Anderson then connected the man with the chaplain at 15 Wing Air Base to assist him with his challenges. During the motorist’s April 19 court appearance, Judge Brian Hendrickson commended Anderson for helping the veteran and asked the Crown to pass along his appreciation. On the article printout, Bourassa wrote, “Const. Anderson, thank you for always working to improve lives. Well deserved recognition!” “That happens all the time. It’s just nice to see it pointed out sometimes,” Bourassa told the board. “So very good work.” Reading that article generated an immense amount of appreciation for the police service, compared to negative stories about acts of police brutality in the United States, said Commissioner Mary Lee Booth. “It’s so nice to see stories about our members (who) lead with empathy and compassion,” she added. “This fellow still had consequences, but to connect him with some resources and support, that’s great news and I love stories like that.”

COVID-19 news recap for this week: May 8 to 16 Larissa Kurz

Saskatchewan is set to begin Phase One of its new re-opening plan on May 30, after already reaching the first vaccination threshold. As of May 10, more than 70 per cent of residents over the age of 40 have received their first dose of the vaccine, and public health is on track to make vaccination available to all Saskatchewan residents over the age of 18 by May 20. This means that Phase Two of the plan will occur no earlier than the third week in June and the final step in mid-July. --------The eligible age range to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in Saskatchewan has lowered several times this week, now including residents age 20 and older as of May 16, or 18 and older in the northern district. Prioritized frontline workers over the age of 18 are also now eligible. The new age limits apply to all booked appointments at mass immunization clinics in the province, as well as any walk-in or drive-through clinics, pharmacies and

mobile clinics. Second vaccine doses began on May 17, opening first to residents aged 85 and older or those who received their first dose before Feb. 15. --------Positive COVID-19 cases have been reported in several Moose Jaw schools since last week, including one case in St. Agnes Elementary School on May 5 and one case at A.E. Peacock Collegiate on May 10. Central Collegiate and Sunningdale Elementary School also reported positive cases, both on May 11. Central has four positive cases and was previously declared the site of an outbreak on May 2, and Sunningdale has reported one case. All classrooms at Central Collegiate have now moved to online learning for at least a week, following an announcement made by the school's principal on May 14. --------The first reported case of vaccine-related blood clotting has been reported in Saskatchewan, occurring in a fe-

male patient in the 60-60 age range who received the AstraZeneca vaccine in early April. The patient has been treated for vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), a serious blood-clotting condition that has been linked as an adverse reaction to the AstraZeneca vaccine, and is now in recovery. The Public Health Agency of Canada said that a total of 18 cases of VITT have been reported across the country. Saskatchewan public health officials said earlier this week that AstraZeneca will not be used in clinics as a first dose vaccine moving forward due to supply constraints. Plans to administer second vaccine doses to match the brand received as a first dose are still in place, as research into the safety of brand mixing is still ongoing. --------For more information on any of these COVID-19 announcements, visit the COVID-19 Local News tab on MooseJawToday.com for expanded stories.

Provincial Court

The Provincial Court section holds articles that have been written without prejudice with the information that has been presented in a public court of appeal available to the media and public.

Provincial court resolves first pandemic-related charges in Moose Jaw Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express Inaccurate information on the City of Moose Jaw’s website about pandemic restrictions prompted James Stokes to throw a Halloween party with almost double the number of people allowed inside attending. Moose Jaw police were dispatched to a home on Oct. 31, 2020, around 9:49 p.m. after receiving a tip about the gathering, Crown prosecutor Stephen Yusuff said while discussing the facts in provincial court recently. Officers counted 23 people in the home, which violated the existing public health order that allowed only 15 people to gather inside. Stokes, 41 made some effort to determine the limit of how many people could be there and thought he was under that number, but the problem was, he consulted the city’s website instead of the provincial government website, Yusuff continued.

While the fine for disobeying pandemic-related public health orders is $2,800, he added, the Crown decided to lower the penalty to $1,500 after both parties came to an agreement and Stokes agreed to plead guilty to violating a public health order. The provincial government website will always take precedent over the municipal website for this type of information, Judge Daryl Rayner said. At that time, the province only allowed 15 people inside a dwelling, whereas the city’s website said 30 people could be allowed. “I contacted the city and said their website was out of date,” Stokes said. “They fixed it. Hopefully, no one else experiences this.” Teenager charged A 16-year-old girl from Moose Jaw, also appeared in court on the same day as Stokes after being charged

with a similar offence. However, the Crown dropped the charges against the young woman. In a separate interview, Crown prosecutor Rob Parker explained that the girl’s charges were not connected to those of Stokes since hers occurred on Nov. 1. Furthermore, the Crown declined to pursue the charges against her since there was insufficient evidence. “Basically, after looking at it, there was no reasonable likelihood of obtaining a conviction,” he said. The Moose Jaw Police Service has handed out 157 tickets for violations of public health orders since March 2020. According to Parker, the charges against Stokes and the teen girl are the first pandemic-related offences in Moose Jaw to be resolved.

Motorist resolves outstanding court charges 13 years later Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Nearly 13 years after police charged Aaron Floyd Lavallee with several offences in Moose Jaw — including impaired driving — the Lestock-area man returned to The Friendly City to conclude his outstanding issues.

Lavallee, 66, appeared by phone in Moose Jaw provincial court recently, where he pleaded guilty to impaired driving and failing to attend court. As part of a joint sentence, he received a fine of $600 and a two-year driving ban for

his first charge and a fine of $75 for his second offence. The Crown stayed one charge and withdrew another. Judge Daryl Rayner accepted the joint submission and waived the surcharge.

On the Front Porch

by Wanda Smith

Personal Library I was a book worm; growing up. I would read on the school bus every day and if we weren’t going anywhere on Saturday, I’d read under the covers until late Friday night and then wake up early and read all Saturday morning; pouring over Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books, as well as my mom’s large collection of Danny Orlis and any other Christian fiction written for teens. As a young adult, I continued to read; Christian romance was the genre of choice. I devoured books by Janette Oke and Lori Wick. Soon, I realized I was being influenced by the “light” romance stories (albeit “Christian”) that started to build a wrong mindset and expectations of marriage and life. Simply, real life was not like a Christian Romance novel and it left me feeling unloved and defeated. I felt God ask me to give up reading fiction and once I became a mom, my reading really took a back seat. One of the first books I read after Big Sweet Pea was born was “On Becoming Babywise: Giving Your Infant the Benefit of Nighttime Sleep” by Gary Ezzo. My Sis recommended this book; it was timely and effective in teaching me how to sleep train my kids as well as a general manual on how to raise kids. I began to have a desire to better myself through reading non-fiction books that provided skillful and godly wisdom for my life. I’ve since heard it said, “Leaders are readers and readers are leaders.” I thought it would be fun to share with you some of the books that have left an indelible print on my life. As a teenager, “This Present Darkness” by Frank Peretti, strongly impacted my understanding of the spirit world. “The Blessing”, touched me deeply, explaining the importance of knowing that we are loved and accepted unconditionally. “A Place Called Blessing: Where Hurting Ends and Love Begins” by John Trent is a novel based on the concept of giving “The Blessing” that moves the reader to the core. I definitely shed tears while reading that book. “Ancient Paths” by Craig Hill establishes the importance of understanding “God’s ways” of thinking, speaking, behaving and relating to one another that He had designed for us to “find where the good way is, and walk in it.” Jeremiah 6:16. Another book about identity; to know why I was born and how to live a life of meaning is “For This Cause” by Brian Houston. His wife, Bobbie Houston, also reshaped my life with “I’ll Have What She’s Having”. She believes that “... a generation of awesome women are poised and ready to explode on the earth”. Any book by Mike Murdock, and more specifically, “The Power of Recognition” was very influential. These books were some of the earlier ones that I learned so much from. Lately, my reads are “Last Days Survival Guide: A Scriptural Handbook to Prepare You for These Perilous Times” by Rick Renner, “Moving From Sword to Scepter: Ruling Through Prayer as the Ekklesia of God” By Wanda Alger and “Women, God’s Secret Weapon” by Ed Silvoso. These are valuable manuals for the days we are living in. It is important to build a personal library with classic books that will stand the test of time. You may wish to add another title to your library: “Real Life Parenting Hacks: 30 Ways to Bring Hope and Help to Your Home” by Wanda Smith. You can contact me at onthefrontporch@outlook.com if you’re interested in purchasing one or more. I will even sign it for you!

New lagoon in Caronport will help village grow, protect environment Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The Village of Caronport has hired KMS Construction to complete the municipality’s nearly $2-million sewage lagoon expansion project to position the village for growth and protect the environment. The engineering firm began work on the $1.97-million project recently and is expected to complete the new 73,000-cubic-metre synthetically lined lagoon cell by the end of August. The federal government is providing $656,666 toward the project through the New Building Canada Fund’s Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component (PTIC), while the provincial government is contributing the same amount. The Village of Caronport will fund the remainder and any extra costs. “The Village of Caronport is excited to see this project come to fruition. It has been a three-year process to bring our wastewater system into compliance with federal regulations,” Mayor Daniel Buck said. KMS Construction plans to construct the new lagoon south of Caronport on the other side of Highway 1 alongside the four existing cells. Two cells will be turned into secondary storage, while the new cells will act as the final storage of wastewater. Village council started working to address the lagoon nine years ago before turning its attention to providing quality water for the community, which took energy and funding, Buck explained. Council has been surveying residents and other stakeholders for the past three years about water quality in the area. Building a new lagoon has also been somewhat driven by the changes to wastewater release requirements that the federal government instituted, he continued. A new lagoon will allow Caronport to be environmentally friendly, allow a better quality of liquid release and provide

(Photo supplied) better storage for the community. “We were at capacity, or with the change in regulations, we were actually non-compliant, so we were not able to hold the (wastewater) release for 220 days. It was moved from 180 (days) to 220 … ,” said Buck. “But this will help us more than meet the 220-day requirement.” Installing a new lagoon with better wastewater management and enhanced technology will help Caronport grow as a community for the next 20 years, he pointed out. About 50 more homes and commercial businesses can be built because of this expansion, and a bigger lagoon can facilitate growth at Briercrest College and Seminary. “I think it’s awesome. It’s been great work; both this council and past council have been proactive looking towards the future — what needs to be done — and saving and managing towards that,” Buck continued. “We’re looking towards new opportunities.” Buck added that he was grateful for the support of the federal and provincial governments since they helped make this project a reality.

Sukanen museum to reopen in June with adjusted schedule

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express With the Saskatchewan government implementing a reopening plan for the province, board members with the Sukanen Ship Pioneer Village and Museum have decided to reopen the venue with an adjusted schedule. The museum plans to have a soft opening on Thursday, June 3 and, for that month, be open from Thursday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. The board will monitor how this schedule works and the traffic before potentially returning to the regular schedule in July, seven days a week. The provincial government’s reopen plan includes allowing 150 people to gather at public outdoor gatherings and 30 people at public indoor gatherings. distancing. “We’re very happy to be reopening,” said board president The museum has received plenty of interest from peoGord Ross, and with “40 acres of fresh air and 50 build- ple, with numerous visitors calling about when the venue ings” to visit, there should not be a problem with physical will open, he continued.

people from the area have never visited the museum and are surprised to learn about the number of exhibits, with many displays related to Moose Jaw. With so much to see, Ross says it will take visitors at least two hours to walk through everything. The Sukanen Museum will adhere to all pandemic regulations with its reopening, such as physical distancing, the use of hand sanitizers and cleaning high-contact areas. Ross pointed out that with 50 buildings and acres of space, it’s easy for visitors to move to a different exhibit if one is near capacity. Although the provincial government has relaxed how many people can attend a public outdoor gathering, the Sukanen board has decided to cancel three events this summer since they attract nearly 1,000 people. Those events include June’s Spring Fling Show and July’s Family Day and International Harvester Club Meet events. “I think people are at that stage where they’re tired of being locked up and want somewhere to go … ,” said Ross. “The Sukanen is so close to Moose Jaw and Regina, to me, it’s just (an option).” Meanwhile, the board has tentatively scheduled the Threshing Bee and Closing Day for September and the Haunted Museum even for October. However, this will depend upon the vaccination rate and how fast the provincial government moves with its reopening plan. With the reopening, Ross added that he is looking forward to visitors returning and seeing all the exhibits and displays the museum has to offer — including some new ones that volunteers built during the past year.

OBITUARIES MEIER David Arthur Meier, aged 99 years of Moose Jaw, SK passed away peacefully on Monday, May 10th, 2021. Dave was born on November 5th, 1921 on the family farm near Regina, SK. He worked on the farm growing up and enlisted for service in the Air Force during World War II. He was stationed in many places in Canada during his time in the service and had some good stories and memories, especially from the Queen Charlotte Islands and Toronto. Dave married the love of his life, Helen Kalbfleisch, on December 27th, 1946. They farmed in the Zehner/Edenwold and Balgonie areas, and then lived in Regina and Swift Current until they moved to Moose Jaw in 1972, where he resided until his passing. Dave worked at various jobs, including the John-Deere dealership, St. Andrew’s Church and Sukanen Museum. He enjoyed refinishing furniture and going on fishing trips, but especially enjoyed spending time with his family. Together, he and Helen raised 6 children, had 13 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife, Helen Meier; grandson, Jamie Fry; son-in-law, Brent Willy; parents, Daniel and Wilhemina Meier; and siblings: Emilie (Conrad) Kleiner, Helen (Walter) Mang, Freda (John) Mang, Louise (Val) Karst, Jacob (Alma) Meier, Christian Meier, Harold (Charlotte) Meier, and Eleanor (Henry) Becker; as well as father and mother-in-law, Albert and Caroline Kalbfleisch; sisters-in-law: Frances (Buster) Gray, Mina (Isaac) Curry, and Polly (Lorne) Mireau; and brother-inlaw, Bud (Tina) Kalbfleisch. Dave is survived by his children and their families: daughter, Candy Willy, Monique (Derek), Keane, Aidan; Shane (Alicia), Madison; daughter, Jacquie Fry, Jesse (May), Jenny; son, Darrell Meier; son, David (Denise) Meier, Dione (Justin), Draeger, Barret; Dayna (Devin); Dawson (Paula); son, Darcy (Carol) Meier, Kaitlyn (Durston), Kagan; and daughter, Pam (Bob) Lys, Matthew, Jordan (Britney), Racquel (Taylor); as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Dave had a special knack for making everyone feel cherished and loved. His keen wit and great sense of humor was with him right up until his passing. Special thanks to the incredible nurses at the Dialysis Unit for their friendship, care and kindness as well as the staff at WestPark Retirement Crossing and at Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital. Funeral Service arrangements will be announced at a later date. Flowers gratefully declined. As an expression of sympathy, donations may be made to any of Dave’s favourite charities: Moose Jaw Food Bank, 305 Fairford St W, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 1V8, Salvation Army, 175 – 1st Ave NE, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 0Y9 or to the Kidney Foundation of Canada, #1 – 2217 Hanselman Court, Saskatoon, SK S7L 9Z9.

The family of PAUL EDWARD WENAAS are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Paul on May 5, 2021 at the age of 95 years. Paul was born on the family farm near Robsart, SK in 1925. After completing high school Paul farmed and clerked at the Co-op Store in Robsart and Co-op Management became his life’s work. Paul managed Co-ops at Bengough, Mozart, Broadview, Stoughton and Moosomin and spent 6 years in Weyburn as a Cooperative Management Adviser with the Provincial Government. He retired from the Moosomin Co-op in 1985 and then owned a furniture store in Moosomin until his final retirement to Moose Jaw in 1989. During his years in Bengough he met Margaret Mills, a teacher and they were married in 1949. They were blessed with 2 daughters and 1 son. Family times were important to Paul and there were many family reunions, camping trips and he was an active supporter of his children’s activities – music recitals, basketball, or hockey games. When grandchildren began arriving Paul eagerly awaited each arrival and again was a support and encouragement to them in their activities. He and Marg took the grandchildren camping each summer and those camping trips were a highlight of the summer. Sadly, Margaret passed away in 1998. Paul began a new chapter in his life when he married Evelee Salter in 2000. Together they were able to travel and enjoy life and he continued to participate in watching the grandchildren in their many activities. Paul was overjoyed with the arrival of each of his 11 great grandchildren. Paul is predeceased by his first wife Margaret, his parents Ole and Gertie Wenaas, siblings and their spouses, Gudren (Chester) Johnson, Olga (Ira) Smith, Oscar Wenaas, Ina (Earl) Palmer, Marjorie Wenaas, Allan Lester and Margaret’s family Laura May (Ken) Kossatz and Ivan Clark. He is survived and will be dearly missed by his wife Evelee, his children Danae Marie and Bill Heywood; Terri Lynn and George Fowler; Daryn and Debbie Wenaas; and grandchildren and greatchildren Ryan and Heidi Fowler, Rhys and Hudson; Chelsa and Tim Budd, Thatcher and Theodore; Pam and Rory Windrum, Clara and Elliot; Jody and Mark Bennon, Cora, Sybil, Phoebe, Titus; Rhaea and Ryan Stinn; Jordan and Carly Heywood, Asher and Hayden Wenaas. Paul is also survived by Evelee’s children Pam and Eric Nyrose; Grant and Tamara MacKinnon and Evelee’s grandchildren, Charlotte Nyrose, Chantelle Nyrose and Jordan MacKinnon. He is also survived by his siblings Opal Lester, Myrtle and Ralph Tiedemann, Orland Wenaas and Shirley Clark. Due to the restrictions regarding the current health situation, a Private Family Service will be held. For those so wishing, memorial donations may be directed to a charity of one’s choice. In living memory of Paul, a memorial planting will be made by Jones-Parkview Funeral Services. Please sign the memorial register at website: www.jonesparkview.com (Obituaries).

Band and Choral Festival committee confident event will recover after two years cancelled Larissa Kurz

For the second year in a row, the Moose Jaw Band and Choral Festival has been cancelled due to pandemic safety concerns, but the event’s committee is keeping a positive outlook for the future. The hugely popular music festival typically takes place in mid-May and would have filled downtown Moose Jaw with hundreds of band and choral students this coming week, if provincial regulations had allowed. Instead, the committee made the decision to postpone the event for a second time, leaving a two-year gap since the 70th annual Band and Choral Festival was celebrated in 2019. “It’s sad and unfortunate [but] it was actually a fairly easy decision to make,” said Janie Fries, spokesperson from the festival committee. Many school bands and choirs have been unable to practice or perform together over the past year, and Fries said that if the festival were to go forward this year, participation likely would have been very low.

“Band programs and choir programs have basically been either adapted or totally eliminated this year in some schools, so we knew we would not have had the participation numbers we would like to run the festival,” said Fries. Although the announcement comes with disappointment, Fries said that it isn’t a big surprise to either the committee or the festival’s clinicians and participants. “I think they would have been more surprised if we actually had a festival,” said Fries. But, said Fries, the future is hardly bleak for the popular event. The festival committee is instead planning for a 2022 return, with registration tentatively set to begin in September for a May festival. Over 100 groups registered and attended the 2019 event, said Fries, and the committee is expecting lots of enthusiasm to get back on the stage with clinicians. “I see it as being very successful because the programs have had to halt or slow down extremely, so I think students and directors are going to be very excited

Antonio) about the possibility of getting back into a festival,” said Fries. She’s also anticipating seeing lower participation for the next few years, due to the extended break in events and the continued caution of band programs. “I do have a feeling our festival will be smaller than usual [and] we’re going to have a few years of rebuilding to do, but it will happen,” said Fries. “We have a gem

of a festival here [and] I think the fact that it’s in Moose Jaw is unique. It would not be the same if it were held in Regina or Saskatoon.” Festival plans for 2020 are already slated to be a big deal, as Fries said the committee is planning on hosting a huge return event that will begin that rebuilding process and have Moose Jaw filled with music once again. Fries teased the idea of more partnerships with downtown businesses and lots of suggested activities for participants to try out in their downtime. The Moosic in the Park event is also likely to return as a fun noon-hour performance series at the Crescent Park amphitheater, which debuted in 2019 at the festival with great success. “We have a big party planned for next year, [with] different things that are going to be more celebratory than in the past,” said Fries. “And I want to say thank you to this city for everything you do in supporting this festival every year.”

Crescent Park Tree Carving Project underway, featuring three local artists Larissa Kurz

The Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery and the Crescent Park Foundation are excited to begin another phase of a unique beautification project in the city’s most beloved park: carving intricate artwork from old tree stumps. The Tree Carving Project is a continuation of the original initiative from 2016, which invited several artists to help transform stumps of aged or damaged trees into a unique artistic attraction. “These trees are unfortunately getting to the end of their life cycle and so [instead of] chopping them down entirely, we started thinking about a project where we had an artist do something with them,” said Christy Schweiger, education coordinator at the MJMAG and one of the project organizers. Park caretakers identified four more trees that need to be removed due to age, weight or disease this year, and so the Tree Project requested another opportunity to save the stumps for a greater purpose. Artists Karen Watson, Dustin Stearns and Kamron Garbe have been selected for this year’s project and they will each be working on their own tree, creating a design that they felt meant something to Crescent Park. The artists began their carving last week and will wrap

up at the end of the month, and organizers are inviting the public to come and witness the interesting transformation process. Perimeters will be set up around the artist’s workspace for their safety, but people are welcome to stop by anytime. “It’s mesmerizing, seeing how they can turn the shape [of the tree] into something that’s an art piece, the sculpting of it,” said Schweiger. “We want people to keep coming back and seeing how it’s progressing because right at the beginning it won’t look like much but it definitely transforms as work continues.” The MJMAG and the artists have shared tentative working dates, which will be subject to both the artist and weather conditions. The goal is to have all three pieces finished by the end of the month, said Schweiger. Watson kicked off the project on May 14, and will conclude her Band Festival-inspired piece on May 16. Watson has worked on several other wood carving projects on display around the city, and chose her idea due to the long band-related history of the city. Stearns, who was also born and raised in Moose Jaw, will be working on his tree from May 17-23, creating a flying

hawk design that committee members chose from several ideas he submitted. Regina artist Garbe will finish off the public project from May 27-30 by working on his nature-inspired design, which pays homage to the park’s beauty and the migratory species that visit it, including the blue heron. “We wanted there to be a little more local content in this year’s project, and I think we definitely have that,” said Schweiger. Schweiger said the project has been very well received by the community and local artists, and the committee intends to keep planning more tree carvings in the future. “Some of these trees are between 75 and 100 years old [and] we’re turning them into art,” said Schweiger. “It’s kind of evolved, and it will continue as long as there’s funding available and trees to utilize in the park [for] this rejuvenation project.” Information about the past tree carving artists is posted on the doors of the MJMAG, for those looking to learn more about the history of the project when they visit the current artists.
