Moose Jaw Pride Week ready to connect LGBTQ+ community with upcoming events Larissa Kurz

Moose Jaw Pride has a full slate of pandemic-safe events to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community to fill this week, as a way to really kick off Pride Month in June.

Pride Week is taking place from May 23 to May 30 in Moose Jaw with a schedule of daily events that will connect and celebrate the LGBTQ+ individuals and families living in Moose Jaw. Pride executive director Taylor Carlson and the Pride Week committee are excited to have the annual event taking place this year, as it helps to create positive spaces for social connections within the community.

The pandemic has caused strain on all parts of the community, said Carlson, including LGBTQ+ individuals and families. Shutdowns and changes to services mean that many LGBTQ+ people have lost access to important supports, especially youth.

“2SLGBTQ+ people often really have to rely on networks of friends to build family and have support [and] they’ve lost access to that,” said Carlson. “So to be able to do something that helps connect folks back together, even virtually, I think it’s really special and important.”

Providing a positive space to connect with LGBTQ+ individuals is why Carlson and the organizing committee are happy to

Pride Week in Moose Jaw is ready to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community next week, although the parade is going to look a little different from past years. (supplied) see Pride Week going full speed ahead.

Activities this year are being largely hosted online, with several events to be held over Zoom and others streamed online for viewing, like the flag raisings. In-person events have been planned with physical distancing in mind, for everyone’s safety. “[The volunteer organizing committee] recognize that when we’re imagining our Pride in Moose Jaw, that it's important we centre it in our experience here, our geography and our community of families,” said Carlson. “And I think that was suc21054MM1 21055MM0

cessful. They did a lot of work imagining how everyone can participate this year.”

Things began on May 23 with a dual flag-raising ceremony in Crescent Park and at the Western Development Museum, and the week has continued with a Dungeons & Dragons one-shot session, virtual hot dog social on May 24 and two discussion panels titled “Living With Pride.”

On May 25, the virtual panel will be discussing the experience of transgender people living in rural communities. The second panel on May 26 will talk with local leaders and organizations about intersectionality in practice.

“A number of folks in leadership roles here in Moose Jaw will be discussing the ways that they have begun to include and celebrate 2SLGBTQ+ people and families and what that work of inclusion and belonging looks like,” said Carlson.

On May 27, WDM curator Dr. Elizabeth Scott will be hosting a virtual Show & Tell about LGBTQ+ history in Moose Jaw, using artifacts from the local branch of the WDM and welcoming participants to share their own stories.

The annual trivia night will be returning virtually on May 28, and the well-known parade will be held in a recognizable pandemic format: as a huge vehicle tour.

The Pride Convoy will take the streets on May 29 to cruise Moose Jaw in lieu of the usual Walking parade, touring a motorcade of decorated vehicles through several neighbourhoods in the city.

“We did do this last year too,” said Carl-

son. “And my favourite thing about all of it is it gives us an opportunity to bring Pride, the celebration of who we are and of 2SLGBTQ+ people and families, to every neighbourhood in Moose Jaw. We see people on their porches, in the shade of trees, waving flags and smiling, and it's such a strong emotional thing for a lot of participants.”

The largely popular drag events will also be back this year, with two Drive In Drag Shows scheduled for the evening of May 29. The first show at 7 p.m. will be all-ages and family-friendly and the second show at 9 p.m. will be for guests 18 years or older.

Events will conclude on May 30, with a reaffirming faith service at St. Andrews United Church that will be streamed online.

Pride Week is also partnering with several local entities this year, to continue putting the focus on LGBTQ+ solidarity during Pride Month.

Throughout the month of June, staff at the Moose Jaw Public Library will be curating displays of LGBTQ+ books and authors for library patrons to explore, and the WDM is hosting a Pride Scavenger Hunt in the museum’s collection.

All of the prizes offered during Pride events have been sourced from local businesses who’ve shown support for Moose Jaw Pride, which Carlson said were purchased instead of donated this year, as a gesture of support for the business community.

“This has been a hard time for [smaller businesses] here in Moose Jaw, and so we wanted to make sure we weren’t asking folks for things but instead giving them some support too,” said Carlson.

Moose Jaw Pride is also encouraging businesses and individuals to decorate their windows and homes to celebrate Pride Week and to offer a visual expression of support for the LGBTQ+ community.

The organization is offering free Pride flags at its office on Main Street, for anyone looking to decorate for the week of events or to participate in the vehicle parade.

Registration for any of the Pride Week events can be done by contacting Moose Jaw Pride on Facebook, through their website at moosejawpride.ca or by reaching out via text or call at 1 (306) 692-2388.

May 17 marked one year since death of Snowbird Jenn Casey Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

It was a cloudy day in Kamloops, British Columbia on May 17, 2020, when Capt.

Jenn Casey joined Capt. Richard MacDougall in the plane he was flying during a Snowbirds’ demonstration.

The flight was part of the Snowbirds’ Operation Inspiration, a cross-country tour designed to boost Canadians’ spirits during the pandemic. Casey, then 35, was the public affairs officer for the squadron and had been with the unit since 2018.

However, this was the last flight she would ever take because a bird flew into the engine of the CT-114 aircraft and caused the plane to crash. Casey and MacDougall ejected, but their parachutes failed to deploy properly since they were at such a low altitude.

Casey was killed, while MacDougall survived but suffered major injuries.

One year after this event, the Snowbirds — also known as 431 Air Demonstration Squadron — are honouring Casey and her commitment to the Canadian Forces.

Capt. Jenn Casey, public affairs officer with the Snowbirds’ demonstration team. (File photo) “Jenn Casey embodied the very best of what it means to be a Snowbird. Enthusiastic, warm, witty, a true team play, a leader and an innovative powerhouse,”

squadron commander Lt.-Col. Denis Bandet said in a news release. “The trust that we had in her to connect with the public was absolute.”

The Snowbirds’ core mission is to inspire the public while also representing the great men and women of the Canadian Forces, of whom Casey was one of the best, he continued. The insights and innovative ideas the Halifax native had helped connect the squadron to the public and ensured the unit’s missions were seen every day.

Casey’s role in the Snowbirds’ success was evident during last year’s Operation Inspiration, where she connected the squadron to millions of Canadians through social media and media interviews, Bandet said.

“She was the true force and heart behind Op INSPIRATION, and it was thanks to her hard work and dedication that the mission was so successful,” he added.

This year the Snowbirds will again fly

under Operation Inspiration and carry on Casey’s legacy during air shows and flybys throughout Canada and the United States. The 2021 CF-18 Demonstration Team will also join the Snowbirds during its mission, which Bandet said is noteworthy since the Snowbirds asked her to join the team after her commendable work as the public affairs officer in 2018 for the CF-18 demo team.

“We are delighted to continue pursuing Jenn’s vision of inspiration and connection,” he added. “We know it would put a smile on her face to see how many of you she touched and to see the outpouring of love coming from Canadians all over the country and around the world.”

The Snowbirds kick off their 2021 tour on June 12-13 in Michigan and complete Operation Inspiration on Oct. 9-10 in Texas.

The squadron does not have any dates in Saskatchewan. The closest demonstration to Moose Jaw is on July 24-25 in western Calgary.

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS

Modern Popsicles confusing to adult taste buds

If I were able, I would demand that my childhood taste bud numbers be restored, as they have been dwindling for the past 30 years.

I have recently learned that the number of taste buds one has starts decreasing between the ages of 40 and 50, and those Joyce Walter that remain shrink. After the For Moose Jaw Express age of 60, one begins to lose ronjoy@sasktel.net the ability to distinguish tastes of sweet, salty, sour or bitter.

Documentation for the years from 60 and up was sketchy.

But the fact remains, my food just doesn’t taste the same as when I ate with childish buds.

Knowing this scientific information, however, does not change the fact that the Popsicles of today are a mere distant relative to the Popsicles of my childhood. I don’t care how old I am: Popsicles just don’t taste the same as they did several decades ago.

What hasn’t changed from child to adult is the comfort one receives from a Popsicle when one is ill with a cold, a sore throat, maybe a tummy ache. The cure from the Parent was an orange Popsicle — so tart, so cold, so gooey as it melted. The cure seven years ago from a kindly nurse seeing my face at uncovering cream of wheat for

breakfast was an orange Popsicle — so tart, so cold but a bit different. Still a familiar cure for an adult with childlike tendencies.

And so when my stomach recently recoiled and popped around like waves in the ocean, my self-administered cure was nothing else but stale Ginger Ale and an orange Popsicle. Housemate immediately went to the store and came home with a variety pack of orange, berry and grape flavours.

The cardboard packaging confirmed the contents as being Popsicles but the taste buds could not substantiate that identity. Orange Popsicles never, ever were attached to grape or berry. Orange went with orange, and grape with grape and so on and so on. There was no goo residue left in the package as though the frozen treat was on the verge of melting. In fact the Popsicle didn’t melt as soon as the warmth of my mouth made contact. What the heck?

But the coldness of orange-flavoured water soothed my throat and even if it had no medicinal benefit, I felt better for a moment or two.

After receiving more reliable medicinal treatment from a score of professionals, I was back at home eating my apple sauce and Jello and yearning for something else to comfort my old body. Housemate offered to bring a Popsicle. It was grape purple, but then again, it didn’t seem like grape. Those darn taste buds again. An orange one followed and as hard as I tried to convert the 1950s taste

to this century, it just didn’t work.

I wonder what Frank Epperson, the creator of the original Popsicle would say if he could compare his product with the product on the market today. He would surely be disappointed and long for the old days, or at least for the days when taste buds could tell original orange from the revised orange.

Did you know the favourite Popsicle flavour is cherry? I found that out doing my research. Nope, don’t agree. And did you know that May 27 is National Grape Popsicle Day and Aug. 26 is National Cherry Popsicle Day. You do now.

I wonder if any corner store still sells chocolate Popsicles, in the double stick format? They were hard to find years ago but what a pleasant surprise if they are still available.

More good news: a Popsicle website shows all the crafts to be made with the sticks, and there’s even an area of kids’ jokes to enjoy while the Popsicle orange juice runs down the chin.

I didn’t tell Housemate about the joke site, but instead I will share all the grape and berry flavours with him. What a tasteful gesture!

In an article published on May 13th in Moose Jaw Express regarding a Police Board of Commissioners meeting where data was shared, it was noted that crimes against people and property in Moose Jaw were down to 51 in April of this year compared to 93 in April of 2020, 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; Joan Ritchie • Theft under $5,000: 21 / 41; EDITOR • Arson: 0 / 1; • Property damage over $5,000: 11 / 21.

Of note in the article, Police Chief Rick Bourassa said this was just a “snapshot” in time and not to be taken as a “trend” because “trends happen over time.”

I am sure the police department would agree that individuals continually need to be vigilant and responsible in doing what they can to protect their property from break-ins and theft.

On a personal note, during the recent warm weather we were having, we were tending to our backyard in preparation for summer. Both of us were there when someone in the alley banged on the back gate entrance; we were expecting it to be one of our neighbours but it was a stranger looking for an address on another street. My Spiderman senses were immediately alerted, wondering why he was looking for a specific street address down a back alley, even though he said the address he was looking for was in the vicinity and not the street we live on. As I overviewed the situation perched on the deck, it almost seemed this enquirer was taking a quick inventory of the property as he engaged at the gate entrance.

Maybe it’s just our suspicious nature, but it left us both feeing rather uncomfortable. On the other hand, we decided to be more mindful to do our due diligence to keep intruders out.

Also, one of our friends recently had a break-in to his backyard garage and theft of some tools, so it reinforced the idea that maybe criminals are wandering the back alleys in search of their next lucrative opportunity.

You may want to consider some practical suggestions to protect your property from break-ins and thefts beyond security systems: • Never work in your back yard without locking the front door to your house – it has been known that individuals scope out the backyards and engage those back there so that a cohort can enter the residence from the front if they are able to do so; • Locks on the inside of gates are a great idea to make it harder for thieves to access the property and remove property via the yard; • Make sure never to leave valuables visible or easily accessible, secure tools and valuables in a locked shed or garage; often leaving expensive items out in the open can alert thieves that there may be more expensive items inside the home; • Motion sensor lights are great to have on garages and side doors to alert homeowners of intruders; • Never leave your garage door open for individuals to view the contents or for easy access; intruders could close the door and easily access the household; • Never open your door to a stranger without questioning.

It is a very unsettling matter to experience a violation like a break-in or theft so being forewarned and forearmed is the best deterrent.

Re: Am I a Conspiracy Theorist??

In early 2011, I had a friend in the late stages of cancer.

He had encountered a treatment called MMS (Miracle Mineral Supplement) which he had tried briefly and believed may offer the solution that we were desperately looking for.

Since he was determined to travel to the Dominican Republic, and I wasn’t about to let him go on his own, I did a quick study over the internet. I learned that MMS was chlorine dioxide (CD) and that the fellow who was promoting it, Mr. Jim Humble, an American, had discovered in 1996, while on a prospecting trip in Ecuador that CD, commonly used for water purification cured two of his crew of malaria in about 4 hours. Subsequently, Mr. Humble has dedicated himself to discovering the many benefits of CD and in doing so has also discovered that he and his research would not be accepted by the American Medical community, the FDA or the WHO. He went to Mexico to continue his research and promote CD. I was introduced by telephone to Mark Grenon, the owner of the compound in Barahona, DR., who assured me that there would be good accommodation. We arrived in January, 2011. I learned that Mark Grenon had been a pilot who had worked for different NGO’s in Africa. Since coming to the DR. and working at building his compound, which served as a base for Doctors Without Borders, he and his children became afflicted with MRSA staph infection from volunteering at hospitals. They tried everything to overcome this infection. It was eating their skin away……I saw the scars. Then they discovered CD and Jim Humble. CD cured the MRSA. They invited Jim to the Dominican.

We began taking CD when we arrived, hourly for 8 hours/ day, starting with 1/2 drop doses and building up gradually to 3 drops/hr. Shortly, a number of people from around the world began arriving. There was a course being held to teach people about the benefits of CD and how it could be used to cure many ailments. People from the U.S., Canada, Australia, England, Germany, Portugal, Sweden and Brazil. I still keep in touch with many of them.

We got a room on the third floor. I struggled with the stairs.

After a few days of treatment, I was bounding up the stairs with no knee pain. I was diagnosed with GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease) in 2004, basically bad heartburn. I took pantoprazole every day since my diagnosis.

Within 2 weeks it occurred to me that I didn’t need the pantoprazole. That was 9-1/2 years ago. At $35/mos., I have saved close to $4,000 and have never had any further acid

Re: In Response to Letter to the Editor by David and Heather Hildebrandt published in the May 19th edition of the Moose Jaw Express Dear Editor, On May 13, David Hildebrandt wrote an open letter to me stating his reasons why he was “no longer was able to vote PC”.

Mr. Hildebrandt’s commentary on the state of Canadian conservatism fails to offer a fair view of our “big tent” Conservative Party and how we approach matters of great ethical importance to many Canadians.

Despite what Mr. Hildebrandt suggests, Erin O’Toole’s cautious approach on sensitive issues is not new for our party. Stephen Harper declared that the abortion issue would never be reopened while he was prime minister and voted against pro-life private members bills. Andrew Scheer, likewise, declared that the abortion issue would not be reopened while he was leader.

Importantly, all of these leaders (including Erin O’Toole) have left these issues open to free votes and allowed individual MPs to vote according to their conscience.

This stands in stark contrast to the NDP and Liberals who force all of their members to vote pro-choice. Quite frankly, if you are pro-life, the Conservative Party is the only electable party that allows you to express your views freely. And for the record, I intend to vote in favour

Due to space allotment in Moose Jaw Express for free letters to the editor, we find it necessary to establish some guidelines in submissions that will be in effect as of March 15, 2021.

reflux.

I have continued to use CD. I’ve had chest conditions which I have used it successfully for. Under normal circumstances I would have gone to a doctor and received anti-biotics. I haven’t had anti-biotics since 2011. I have cured a couple of tooth infections. I have used it in a nebulizer for chest conditions. I use it for skin conditions, as a disinfectant and a mouthwash.

Jim Humble has written books which give more instruction.

Unfortunately, there are many sites on the internet which tell horrible stories about Jim and the use of CD. I know Jim Humble personally. He is not some wacko, intent on making a bunch of money with a crazy scheme. He is an honest, caring human being. He doesn’t make money selling CD and has no intention of it. He lives off his U.S. pension.

“They” call it “toxic bleach”! Well, it is bleach and would certainly kill you if you drank it in large quantities. Warfarin is rat poison but is a wonderful blood thinner in small doses and saves many lives. Nitric oxide is a wonderful heart regulator but a concentration of 100 ppm will kill you. CD has been proven to be a wonderful virus fighter. This Patent was awarded for its use in fighting HIV: https://patents. google.com/patent/US6086922A/en. There was a U.S. Clinical Trial posted on April 13th, 2020 for the “Determination of the Effectiveness of Oral Chlorine Dioxide in the Treatment of COVID 19”: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/ show/NCT04343742 The results of this study were to have been available in June, 2020. Why have there been no results posted? The country of Bolivia approved of using CD as a treatment for COVID-19. Mainstream media accuses them of approving of toxic bleach. There are professional organizations of Latin American Doctors who are trying to tell the world about CD. www.comusav.com, www.aememi. com. Also see: www.theuniversalantidote.com. There are many more scientific studies available.

Why are we not treating our very sick COVID-19 patients with CD? To protect the profits of the pharmaceutical industry? CD is inexpensive, non-patentable and won’t make them a dime!

Greg Lien Editor's Note: This is a submitted Letter to the Editor that reflects the writer's personal opinion/experience and may be considered controversial but as published is not a medical endorsement by Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

of Cathay Wagantall’s private member’s bill (C-233) banning sex-selective abortion in Canada.

Much of the rest of Mr. Hildebrandt’s letter was aimed at condemning Mr. O’Toole for trying to win votes for the Conservative Party in other parts of the country. It is obvious that, in a country as large and diverse as Canada, a political party must win support in several different regions to form government. As Mr. Hildebrandt points out, under Andrew Scheer’s leadership, the Conservative Party did a tremendous job of winning overwhelming levels of support in Western Canada. Yet due to a lack of success in other regions, we found ourselves sitting on the Opposition benches despite securing more total votes than any other party.

If Mr. Hildebrandt is content with supporting a party that will never amount to anything more than a protest vote, that is his choice. All he will be doing is helping to reelect Justin Trudeau, enabling the current Liberal government’s reckless spending and overt anti-West bias.

I would rather support a party that has the resources and support to form a national government and make positive changes for all Canadians – including Western Canadians - in accordance with conservative principles.

That is precisely what Erin O’Toole is trying to do and I fully support his efforts to do so.

Regards Tom Lukiwski, M.P.

More concerned residents join anti-mask protest at PSSD office Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

A week after a Moose Jaw couple protested in front of the Prairie South School Division board office over mask mandates, two more residents have joined the cause with similar concerns.

Mother Karli Amundrud and grandmother Suzanne Zakaluzny demonstrated in front of the Prairie South board office on Ninth Avenue North on May 18, after hearing about the protest that Tannis and Ivan Brideau carried out on May 11.

Some of the new signs that the Brideaus had created included “Stop forced experiments on our children,” “Experimental jabs not proven safe or effective,” and “Yes, pray 4 our children.”

“Obviously, I’m fighting for … all kids, not just mine,” Amundrud said during the morning protest.

Mask mandates are unconstitutional and cannot be forced on a healthy population since they go against citizens’ rights and freedoms, she continued. She stated that most non-medical masks people wear are not truly foolproof against COVID-19 since the virus can seep through the material.

Amundrud’s other concern is that the provincial government is rolling out vaccines for youths aged 12 to 18. She pointed out that the vaccines are still technically in the experimental trials until 2023. Health Canada hasn’t officially licensed them but instead has approved them under an emergency order.

“A vaccine typically takes four to 10 years to go from inception to human trials. Phase 1, 2, and 3 is still technically animal trials,” she said. “And we are administering

Residents at the protest are concerned about using an experimental vaccine on children. (Photo by Jason G. Antonio) them to anyone from age two to 85. Essentially, we are the lab rats at this point.”

It doesn’t make sense that a vaccine is even required — or follow-up booster shots — for a virus with a near 100-per-cent survival rate, Amundrud stated, something the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has also acknowledged.

She also didn’t understand why a cure for cancer or HIV hasn’t been discovered during the past few decades, yet COVID-19 showed up 14 months ago, and somehow, a vaccine has been developed in eight months.

By demonstrating, Amundrud hoped the group could

convince people to question what’s being reported and perform independent investigation and research. She also wanted Prairie South to be more transparent, especially with vaccines and wanted to see the reasoning for pushing this on kids.

In an email to the Moose Jaw Express, PSSD board chairman Robert Bachmann said the board has consistently relied on advice from public health officials to make medical decisions. Furthermore, the province’s reopen plan states that wearing masks indoors will remain through all three phases.

“We will not deviate from this provincial mandate … ,” he said. “PSSD will not force students to be vaccinated.

Older students do have the right to decide on their own vaccination response and we would encourage them to discuss their choice with their parents.”

Zakaluzny was also concerned about forcing children to wear masks, considering they need fresh, clean air to think clearly. She was also worried that kids could be forced to take the vaccine and thought they should have the freedom to choose.

“We need to speak up for our children. We are their voice … . These are going to be children that grow up and say, ‘Why didn’t my daddy stand up for me? Why didn’t anybody say anything?’” she said.

Students need to know that they are loved and in good hands, considering adults should be more knowledgeable, Zakaluzny added. She also thought praying for students was the best option since it could provide the best outcome.

Provincial parks open for long weekend after successful booking launch in April Larissa Kurz

Saskatchewan provincial parks opened on May 20 for the May long weekend, after a hugely successful reservation launch in April that saw an increase in campsite booking for this year.

Campsite booking opened on April 12, with the launch of a new parks website designed to manage a large volume of users and minimize time waiting in the queue to book.

Saskatchewan residents booked a total of 43,566 nightly, group and seasonal campsite reservations for this year, a marked increase from the last two years — 110 per cent over 2020, as only half of the sites were available due to COVID-19, and 65 per cent over 2019.

"With nearly 44,000 campsite reservations made during launch, the new system successfully managed a very large volume of users and transactions at once,” said Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross, in a press release. “Many campers were able to successfully secure a site this season."

Provincial parks are open for the season beginning May 20. (supplied) Most bookings were on the weekends, which are largely full for the season, but some campsites remain available during the weekdays. Residents are encouraged to con-

tinue checking back for their desired dates, as cancellations occur.

Sask Parks also added a new feature to the site called “Camping This Weekend,” which locates last-minute spots for campers.

Campers heading out this weekend are reminded that alcohol and cannabis bans are in effect in provincial parks from May 20 to 24, with the exception of cabins, cottages and at licensed establishments serving liquor.

Fire bans are also in place in several areas of the province due to dry conditions, and officials ask campers to check the restrictions in their park destination.

Open fires in parks with fire restrictions are prohibited but approved portable gas devices are permitted for cooking and heating purposes.

Full details on fire restrictions and COVID-19 guidelines in provincial parks this season can be found online at saskparks.com.

Do not touch or feed young wildlife when encountered, province says Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Outdoor enthusiasts are likely excited that spring has now sprung, but the provincial government is reminding nature lovers not to touch or feed young wildlife when they encounter such animals.

Physical distancing is not just for humans but also applies to ducklings, rabbits, songbirds, and fawns. Such creatures should not be touched or fed when found in the wild or the city, the Ministry of Environment’s Val Nicholson said in a news release.

Attempting to help wild animals that appear orphaned or lost is detrimental to their health and safety, she explained. In nature, mothers purposely place their young into seclusion to protect them from predators. In most cases, these young creatures have not been abandoned or deserted since the mother is watching nearby.

“The chances for survival decrease significantly when young animals come into contact with humans. The best thing to do is to leave them alone and enjoy the animals from a distance,” said Nicholson.

Humans should only pick up young wildlife if the parent is found dead nearby or an unnatural situation occurs, such as a young songbird found on a doorstep. In that case, the bird should be moved to the closest suitable habitat.

Only wildlife rehabilitators are licensed to care for orphaned or injured animals since they are trained to give appropriate care and nutrition to improve the chances of survival, Nicholson said. If there are signs of injury or abandonment, residents should call 1(800)-567-4224 or email centre.inquiry@gov.sk.ca.

Ducks and geese are some animals that well-meaning residents should not feed, especially if the birds are en-

The Ministry of Environment reminds people not to touch or feed baby wildlife if encountered. Photo submitted countered in Crescent Park or Wakamow Valley. Bread can pollute the water and sicken the animals so instead, it’s OK to give the animals sliced seedless grapes, cooked rice, birdseed, peas, corn, oats, duck feed or chopped lettuce.

Outdoor lovers are also reminded to steer clear of adult wildlife, such as deer or moose that wander into urban areas. Large crowds can stress the animal, leading to dangerous situations.

“Remember, give wildlife its space,” Nicholson added.

One organization that supports wildlife is the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Saskatchewan (WRSS), which has information about what to do when coming across a

distressed animal, such as a wobbly fawn or a grounded hawk.

The number one rule in rescuing distressed wild animals is to ensure they are in distress. Rule No. 2 is to be careful when approaching a wild animal for safety’s sake.

The third rule is to leave baby bunnies, in particular, where they are found.

Rabbits return to their babies early in the morning or late at night to avoid exposing them. Removing bunnies from their den can dissuade the mother from returning, so rehabilitation volunteers will often say to “put the bunny back.”

Fledgling birds are also often left on the ground for up to two weeks to teach them how to fly. If a nestling — a baby bird with bald patches and cannot stand or grip your finger as a perch — is found on the ground, that is cause for intervention.

Nestlings should always be returned to their nest, if possible, as long as the parents return eventually. If not, they should be kept warm, turned over to a rehabilitation centre, and never fed — a bird’s diet is complex and feeding them could be harmful.

“Never give food or water to a baby bird,” the WRSS said. “Many birds have specific food requirements, and feeding them the wrong thing may cause severe side effects or even death.”

Moose Jaw’s non-profit Wild & Cared Free Rehabilitation Centre can be contacted through Facebook with concerns about injured or abandoned animals. Emergencies can warrant a phone call to the Moose Jaw Animal Clinic during regular hours at (306)692-3622.

Vanier student headed to national Skills Canada competition after provincial win Larissa Kurz

One local student from Vanier Collegiate will be competing in the nationwide Skills Canada Competition, which brings together high school and post-secondary students to test their competence in a variety of skills related to the trades.

Grade 12 student Grace Kiefer recently took part in the Skills Canada Saskatchewan competition, held virtually on April 16. She was the only Vanier student able to compete, as the three other students set to take part had their categories cancelled for the year.

Central Collegiate student Trinity Dadzie also took part in the provincial competition, winning silver in Fashion Technology, as well as several Saskatchewan Polytechnic students from the Moose Jaw campus.

Kiefer won gold in her skill category of Job Search, where she put together a cover letter and resume, created a presentation about skills, and took part in a mock job interview.

“I learned a lot, especially about making a resume and a cover letter,” said Kiefer, of the experience.

Now, Kiefer is moving on to compete in the same category at the national level, for a chance at another gold title and accompanying prizes. She will be representing all of Saskatchewan at the virtual event on May 26.

“It was really cool, because I never thought I’d get to do this experience and so it was sort of unexpected, but it’s really awesome to represent Canada and Saskatchewan,” said Kiefer. “It’s definitely really exciting [to be going to nationals].”

Typically, Vanier students take part in the Skills Cana-

Vanier Collegiate student Grace Kiefer, who is representing Saskatchewan at the upcoming national Skills Canada competition on May 26. (photo by Larissa Kurz) da competition every year, said teacher advisor Christa Lapointe, alongside other students from other schools in Moose Jaw. The Skills Canada competitions seek to encourage students who have an interest in skills related to the trades and who demonstrate quality and proficiency.

Although this year’s events have all been held virtually,

the competitions are really meant to expose students to the trades in a more realistic environment than in a classroom. All students who compete have to do so on their own, with no help from teachers or advisors.

“It's a great opportunity for students to highlight their skills and abilities, and to further develop and hone in on improving their trade and their skillsets,” said Lapointe.

For Kiefer, she feels her experience so far with the Skills Canada program has certainly given her a leg up on her future — especially as many job interviews are occurring almost exclusively virtual right now.

“I actually did my first official job interview after the competition and some of the questions I was asked were similar to the ones asked in the competition, so it was great practice,” said Kiefer.

Kiefer credited her mom’s influence for getting her interested in the program, as she is a teacher at A.E. Peacock Collegiate who takes students to the Skills Canada competitions, and Lapointe’s support for helping her get involved this year.

If Kiefer succeeds with another gold placing at the national competition, she will qualify to take part in the international WorldSkills Competition scheduled for later this fall.

She also encouraged other students to consider taking part in next year’s Skills Canada competitions.

“Reach out to people to help you get involved because they always have extra information that you can use and there’s benefits from this, from any perspective,” said Kiefer.

Too Good For Too Long

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.

The reason so many puny, petty social justice issues make headlines in our society is because we don’t have enough genuine big ones. The ever increasing volume and ever diminishing rationality of them is a testament to that. We have had it too good for too long. Our excessive attention given to our out of control, frivolous, so-called social injustice “horrors” is due to our material abundance which has removed us from genuine troubles. We have lost sight of what real problems look like.

Countries that have tangible, real world, life-threatening issues do not entertain our penny-ante melodramas. Here is the meat of it; societies that have vast numbers of citizens dying of starvation do not debate which pronouns are suitable to use. Countries that do not have clean drinking water do not have concerns about who can or should use which bathroom. They would be happy to have a bathroom in the first place.

Yet in our society we hear the constant drum beat of these, and other disgustingly insignificant concerns. Our attention to such things, by any objective standard, is, or ought to be, an embarrassment to us.

In dozens of countries, hundreds of millions of people do not have clean water to drink or enough food to stay alive.

Those people live in abject misery and watch their children die each day. At the same time, our society is having major discussions over whether Mr. Potato Head has a suitably gender neutral name. What kind of light does that shine on us and what does that look like through the eyes of the 690 million people who are malnourished?

When we hear of our next socially troubling issue, let us remember the 27,000 people who will die today from hunger. They are in too much agony to care a tinker’s damn about our “seriously important” Mr. Potato Head nightmare. All that occupies them is getting a crust of bread before it’s too late.

The fact that we have more than a crust of bread today,

concomitant with a high degree of certainty food will be available tomorrow, is exactly what gives us the ability to be so small; and lord, don’t we take full advantage of that opportunity. Our refrigerators, overflowing with foods from around the world, allow us to fill our lives with numbingly paltry issues.

For those who are seeking a society of bliss by reforming the proper use of pronouns or washroom entitlements, be reminded that for hundreds of millions of people, their idea of paradise looks different. Their notion of a healthy society would be one in which children do not go to sleep with an ache in their belly and they do not have to live in fear those children will die during the next 24 hours.

While giving endless time, energy, and attention to all the two-bit social injustices that are spewed out each day, we should keep an objective perspective. Better still, perhaps we ought to first feed everyone enough so that they too have a chance to be as troubled about a mountain of miniscule problems as we are. After all, if we believe in equality, shouldn’t everyone be given the opportunity to be as pathetic as us?

Sholom Aleichem said it best, “The rich swell up with pride, the poor from hunger.”

Moose Jaw’s Indian community worries about pandemic’s effects back home Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Members of Moose Jaw’s Indian community are concerned about the welfare of family members living in India, a country seeing some of the world’s highest daily coronavirus infection rates.

Infection rates of COVID-19 began spiking around April 4 and reached their peak around May 6, with 414,188 new cases and a seven-day average of 389,803.

Since then, both numbers have declined to 267,334 and 307,913, respectively, as of May 19.

The country’s health system was so overwhelmed that it was performing 4,000 cremations per day. Some bodies were even thrown into the Ganges River since they could not be cremated due to a backlog.

Overall, there have been 25.5 million reported cases in the Southeast Asian nation and 22 million recoveries, with 283,000 deaths. In comparison, the United States has the most deaths worldwide at 515,151, while COVID-19 has killed 25,052 Canadians.

A notice about the shortage of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine supplies is seen at a vaccination centre, in Mumbai, India. (Photo supplied) ness owner, is from a 1,300-person village in the state of Punjab in northern India.

He explained that his relatives have been doing well and have not been infected; the pandemic has been mainly ravaging big cities such as the national capital of Delhi.

“They’re doing good. They’re totally locked down there. Like nobody’s allowed out after 5 o’clock,” he said. “All the businesses are shut. Nobody’s allowed to open the shops or anything.”

Since most of the village is locked down, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other volunteers go around the community and offer to bring groceries to families. Some of these groups rely on online donations to function.

Whenever Ghuman speaks with his relatives by phone, their concerns are about eating healthy and staying inside. Another step his family has made to remain healthy is to take the vaccine, although some relatives have experienced negative side effects.

For example, his aunt experienced a major fever for two days before recovering. His uncle, meanwhile, came down with blood clots that turned his arm blue before it returned to normal a few days later.

Ghuman is thankful that his parents moved to Canada two months ago. However they, too, are worried about family in India and call home almost every day.

College student Dipen Panchal is originally from a city of 50,000 people in the state of Gujarat on the northwest coast of India. His home community has been fac-

ing a hard situation.

“All my neighbours are positive and some have died…The doctors said they need oxygen, but they did not get it. So they died,” Panchal said, noting he has encouraged his family to remain inside as much as possible. “It’s getting worst and worst, to be honest.”

Panchal’s mother is a beautician and runs her own business but was forced to close because there were no customers. Meanwhile, his father was earning 1,000 rupees per month — about $17 Canadian — but that has dried up. This has forced Panchal to take on two jobs here to send grocery money to his parents.

None of Panchal’s family or relatives have died from COVID-19. However, some have been infected and have had a difficult time after the infection.

A Regina-based Indian organization has created a GoFundMe page to help provide relief to that country. Meanwhile, the provincial government has sent 100 ventilators to the country and plans to look for other ways to help.

New program from local watershed stewards offering free trees to residents in Moose Jaw Larissa Kurz

A new program involving the Moose Jaw River Watershed Stewards (MJRWS) is looking to distribute and plant 24,000 free trees throughout Saskatchewan, as a lead-in to a discussion about climate change education.

In partnership with the Saskatchewan Association of Watersheds and Climate Change Canada, the MJRWS is one of eight watershed regions participating in the new Tree For Life program.

The program is entirely new this year and aims to make contact with residents in Saskatchewan watersheds to gauge and increase public awareness about climate change and its environmental impact.

“We’re trying to understand where the gaps are in understanding climate change and then maybe where some of the needs are for education,” said MJRWS executive director Carmen Kaweski.

The MJRWS has a total of 3,000 sapling trees available to distribute within their watershed region, which includes Moose Jaw. The trees will be going out in mid to late May, and the MJWRS has poplars, spruces and willows available.

In order to receive one of those trees, residents are to contact the MJRWS and express interest in receiving their trees, and then complete a survey about their knowledge of climate change. A limit of 50 trees per individual, farm or organization is in effect.

“This is our first year doing this, and we’re excited about it,” said Kaweski. “And we’re hoping that people will be excited about it too.”

Those who take part will also be entered to win one

of ten $500 gift cards if they choose to take part in the accompanying photo contest, where tree recipients are asked to photos of their new trees on social media using the hashtag #SKTreeForLife.

Kaweski said the benefits of the new program are twofold, as it serves to open up the conversation and improve public knowledge about climate change while also adding beneficial trees to the local ecology.

She said that with the Moose Jaw area being a dry area, it’s important for local residents to understand that climate change, as a factor, may take conditions to the extreme.

“We’re going to have more extreme droughts. We’re going to have more extreme rain events. And people need to realize they might need to make some changes with their land management, or how they approach water conservation,” said Kaweski. “We want them to understand what the implications of climate change could be.”

If things go well this spring, Kaweski said that the idea is to see the program return annually, with new trees and a new opportunity to improve carbon sequestration in the area happening each year.

From The Kitchen

G h o st s o f m e a l s p a st h o ve r i n g i n f re eze rs

By Joyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express

There’s a mystery available every time the freezer lid is raised and householders attempt to determine what exactly they have frozen away for future use.

Is that rhubarb in that bag with all the ice crystals? Are those saskatoon berries showing some freezer burn?

That other package is a pie, but the flavour will be a mystery because the tag has fallen off. And shouldn’t those chunks of garlic sausage take a trip to the dump — or maybe be given to a friend?

Removing the first few layers of recent insertions will provide a number of surprises, many of them still edible.

This week’s recipes offer a few ideas for making use of the mysterious contents.

•••

Carrot Pie

1 cup cooked carrots, mashed 1/2 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 pint whole milk 2 tbsps. molasses, optional 1 tbsp. cinnamon 1/2 tbsp. ginger Place frozen carrots in boiling water and cook until extra tender. Drain off water and mash or puree carrots until any lumps have been removed.

Place carrots in a large bowl then add in all other ingredients and mix well.

Pour into an unbaked pie shell. Bake at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes then reduce heat to 350 degrees F and bake until mixture is set, about 50 minutes. Chill and serve with whipped cream.

Any extra carrot puree may be used in milk smoothies or in a favourite muffin recipe. Freezing is not recommended for the puree.

•••

Fruit Drink

8 cups frozen rhubarb, thawed 1-16 oz. pkg. frozen strawberries, thawed 3 cups sugar 8 cups water 1 pkg. strawberry Jello 1/2 cup lemon juice Thaw rhubarb and strawberries. Try not to use fruit that is clearly freezer burned.

In a large pot bring fruit, sugar and water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until rhubarb is tender. Remove from heat and press through a sieve.

Return juice to pot and discard pulp.

Stir Jello and lemon juice into the fruit juice and stir until Jello is dissolved. Pour into a container and chill slightly.

In a punch bowl combine equal amounts of fruit juice and chilled ginger ale, add ice cubes and consume as soon as possible.

Leftover juice may be stored in refrigerator for up to a week. Whip in a blender if juice has turned to gelatine then add ginger ale and ice.

•••

Beef Chunk Stew

1 lb. beef cubes, cooked or raw 2/3 cup water 1 cup diced carrots 1 cup diced potatoes 2 cups tomatoes 1 onion salt and pepper to taste 1 tbsp. flour Thaw the meat. If raw, brown in a small amount of fat. If already cooked, proceed to place cubes of beef into a greased casserole. Add water. Cover and bake in moderate oven for one hour.

Add vegetables, spices and flour and bake until vegetables are tender. If desired, add a can of tomato soup or some vegetable juice to the casserole. Stir.

Sask Crop Report:

74 per cent of crops seeded, producers struggling with dry conditions Larissa Kurz Saskatchewan producers are making EXPRESS headway on spring seeding according to the most recent crop report from the provincial government for the week of May 11-17.

Around 74 per cent of the 2021 crop is now seeded, which is ahead of the five-year average of 48 per cent at this time of year.

Producers are ahead of schedule thanks to fair weather and minimal rain causing less prolonged delays in their seeding efforts this spring.

Several regions are further ahead of others as well, including the southwest region which is 82 per cent finished. The southeast region is 79 per cent completed, the west-central and northwest both at 77 per cent, and the east-central and northeast regions at 63 per cent.

AGRIMART

Crops that are being seeded include field peas and lentils, which are both 93 per cent finished, durum and chickpeas both at 83 per cent, spring wheat at 80 per cent, canola at 78 per cent and barley at 75 per cent.

Some producers are halting seeding canola until rain is in the forecast, and others have decided to seed wheat or cereals instead due to low conditions.

Very little spraying is occurring as well, due to a low presence of weeds and continued strong winds.

Scattered rainfall occurred in most regions of the province this week, although not enough to satisfy some areas. The majority of southern Saskatchewan, including Moose Jaw, Assiniboia and Swift Current areas, have received trace amounts of precipitation this week.

Tisdale and area received the most precipitation at 25 mm from a thunderstorm. Christopher Lake and area reported 13 mm and the Pelly area received 10 mm.

Producers say that more rain is needed to address the extremely dry conditions most regions are currently experiencing.

For areas in the province that have seen low precipitation, crop germination has been poor and patchy.

Cropland topsoil moisture is currently reduced due to lack of precipitation and warm windy conditions, with zero per cent rated at surplus, 20 per cent adequate, 48 per cent short, and 32 per cent very short.

Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is also currently low, with zero per cent rated at surplus, 13 per cent adequate, 36 per cent short and 50 per cent very short.

Moose Jaw and Assiniboia area both fall under the rating of short topsoil moisture conditions.

Similar wind and low precipitation conditions were also reported at this time last year, according to past crop report data.

Very Special Happy 80th Birthday to the Dryhorub Triplets Editor’s Note: Thank you to cousin MaryAnn Silvaggio of Thunder Bay, Ontario for sharing the photos and write-up of our relatives to be published.

We are so proud and thankful for the triplets, our Auntie Sally and Auntie Angie and Uncle Jerry in the celebration of their 80th Birthday; we

On May 22, 1941, John and Tilly Dryhorub had the surprise of their lives when Tilly gave birth to not 1, not 2, but 3 beautiful babies. Sylvia, Angie and Jerry Dryhorub were born at home their homestead in the area of Richard, Saskatchewan. The triplets were the youngest of 11 siblings.

Life at 80 years old the triplets are still going strong.

Sylvia, also known as Sally, is married to Robert Lesko. They live on their farm in Hafford, Saskatchewan. They have 7 children, 14 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren with 2 more on the way this summer.

Angie is married to Hugh Baxter and live on their acreage in Lake Country British Columbia. They have 6 children, 15 grandchildren, and 5 great grandchildren.

Jerry lived with his parents and after they passed away Jerry went to live with his brother Nick and sister-in-law Hazel on their farm in Kakabeka Falls, Ontario,

As well of note in MaryAnn’s research, she stated that 2006 was the last time in Canada that triplets celebrated their 80th birthday.

are proud of our loving heritage that started with John and Tilly Dryhorub many years ago on the family homestead.

These triplets are my father Mike’s siblings; some of the few that are still here today as they were close to the youngest of eleven children.

The Dryhorub clan and their descendants are dispersed throughout the country but continue to stay in touch as often as possible.

where he spent the majority of his life.

Jerry referred to Nick and Hazel as “Mom & Dad.” After Nick and Hazel passed away Jerry’s nephew Nick Jr. and his wife Carolyn moved into the family farm becoming his guardians. Jerry never married or had children but he had tons of nieces and nephews that kept him busy on the farm. Jerry was born with special needs and special he is. Jerry entertained his whole family with his infectious laugh and amazing personality. Jerry is always happy and always willing to help you do anything you need. Jerry is now living at St. Joseph’s Care Group keeping all of the staff on their toes. They give him all sorts of jobs to keep him busy and happy.

Due to the COVID pandemic the Dryhorub triplets and their families cannot celebrate this very special birthday together.

Geothermal could power Gibson Energy’s Moose Jaw refinery in the future Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Gibson Energy Inc. wants to be an environmental leader in the oil and gas industry and believes its Moose Jaw refinery could play a role in this initiative, particularly with geothermal.

While discussing first-quarter results during a conference call recently, Steve Spaulding, president and chief executive officer, explained that the company is in “the very early stages” of reviewing all its assets to see how it can become involved in the renewable energy market.

“We have a team set up specifically for building out renewable power opportunities, and potentially, Scope 1 reduction opportunities,” he said. “But we hope to really have some things going and approved and moving forward by the end of the year … .”

Solar power is potentially the number one renewable resource Gibson Energy could pursue, especially in Saskatchewan and at its Texas terminal, he pointed out. While Moose Jaw is the company’s best Canadian property for solar, the municipality only produces 75 per cent of what its Texas refinery does for solar power.

“We’re definitely going to look at solar opportunities,” Spaulding added. “But potentially, there at Moose Jaw, there might be a geothermal opportunity that may be better than a solar opportunity for us.”

Refinery upgrades There are three categories upon which the company will focus during the next 10 years, including greenhouse gas emissions, diversity and inclusion, and community outreach. Each category has a target and the year when Gibson Energy

wants to achieve that metric.

For example, the company wants to reduce the Moose Jaw refinery’s emissions by 15 per cent by 2025, and it hopes to have an absolute reduction in company-wide “scope 2” emissions of 100 per cent by 2030, the news release said. Gibson Energy plans to do this even though it “has one of the lowest GHG emissions footprints within the Canadian energy infrastructure space.”

Gibson Energy has made meaningful progress in reducing its GHG emissions, including its recent $20-million investment at the Moose Jaw refinery that included new thermal heat exchanger technology, the release continued. This will result in an anticipated reduction in emissions intensity of nearly 25 per cent.

Continuing its focus to improve the emission profile of the Moose Jaw plant, the company has also allocated funding within its 2021 budget to further reduce emissions intensity by switching to natural gas from a feedstock-based fuel supply.

Sustainability The company also recently announced that it plans to grow its sustainability and environmental, social and governance (ESG) targets and align them with national frameworks. It also plans to build on its industry-leading ESG ratings that several globally recognized rating agencies had awarded it.

“Gibson strongly believes in the importance of engraining sustainability and ESG principles throughout all parts of the organization in order to best position the company for success over the long term,” Spaulding said in a news release.

“The core principles of sustainability and ESG have been a part of Gibson for a very long time, as reflected by our current rankings from third-party ESG ratings agencies,” he continued. “However, over the past year, we began placing increased focus on evolving our sustainability practices and improving our disclosure and transparency.

“Today, by setting out relevant, measurable targets, we are taking the next step as we continue to do our part in addressing

Sask.-made Morgan Waller named GLAIC women’s tennis Player of the Year Larissa Kurz

Morgan Waller of Drinkwater, Sask. has been named Player of the Year by the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLAIC), after a standout 202021 season with the women’s tennis team at Ferris State University in Michigan.

Waller, a sophomore on scholarship to the division two university, helped lead the FSU team to a conference victory with a combined 25-5 overall singles and doubles record and a 14-1 in regular season play.

She put up a 6-1 mark in conference matches and a perfect 15-0 doubles performance throughout the year, and was one of four FSU Bulldogs given a first teams’ award from the GLIAC as a top player in the conference.

The FSU Bulldogs finished the season earlier this spring with a perfect 8-0 record in the GLAIC, taking a 13-1 overall to win the GLAIC Championship in both the regular season and tournament for the first time since 2002.

“We all had this drive, and dedication to get there and [win conference], which I think really helped us feel confident in just knowing we could do it,” said Waller.

Ranked 19th in the U.S., FSU recently

made the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2015 this past weekend, ultimately falling to the Southwest Baptist Bearcats in the semi-final and breaking a 16-match win streak.

Waller said it was exciting to finish out the season strong with a trophy win. She credited the determination of all the players on the squad to push even harder than last season, where the Bulldogs finished fourth in the regular season and fifth in conference.

“Winning both regular season and conference season was an insane jump [from last year],” said Waller. “We’re a fairly young team this year, but most of our lineup has had a couple years to ease into it and adjust, and I think everybody was outstanding this year.”

In addition to her other accolades, Waller was also named Player of the Week back at the beginning of the conference matches, right after the entire team was off the court for several weeks due to positive COVID results.

The team ended up rescheduling and playing six matches over a span of a week, after being medically cleared.

“Our entire lineup was out and we had

Morgan Waller of Drinkwater, Sask. has been named player of the year in the GLAIC women’s tennis conference. (supplied) to postpone three matches [and] then we kind of had what we described as a minor setback for a major comeback,” said Waller. “So, aside from winning the title which was awesome, knowing that we did it having faced so much adversity and dealt with COVID and having to play so many matches back-to-back, I think that makes the win so much sweeter for us.”

Looking into the future, the FSU women’s team is likely headed to even further heights, as the team will be a mostly veteran squad next year. Waller said that sights are set on another trophy. “its motivation, to keep working and use that next year to really keep our confidence and our drive and just remind ourselves that we can compete with everybody in our conference,” said Waller.

As for her own play, Waller said she headed into her sophomore season with more

confidence than the year previous, after adjusting to the new locale and having the opportunity to train further for a spring competition.

“I think it was more of a mental change for me, having the confidence in myself to push,” said Waller. “I was just a bit more used to it, adjusted to it, and that really helped me focus more on tennis. I was in a better mindset.”

Waller also added that having GLAIC move the championship from fall to spring had a big impact, as it gave the Bulldogs more time to hit the courts and train.

“We had lots of time to prepare and I feel like having that time to get ready really helped get me to the point where I was at the top of my game and playing well and confident in myself,” said Waller.

Waller started her tennis career at the age of six, taking lessons at the Moose Jaw Tennis Club with coach Joan Buckmaster and later with Drew Buckmaster.

Although she trains at a pro level in Regina now, Waller said she still has a soft spot for the Moose Jaw courts as she continues her rise at the collegiate level.

“The only reason I fell in love with tennis and decided to go [to a high performance coach] is because I was able to find junior group lessons in Moose Jaw. That’s kind of where it all started for me,” said Waller.

Waller is currently in her second year of play eligibility at FSU, and is one of many athletes who have been extended for an extra year of eligibility in their collegiate sport due to disruptions from the pandemic.

Holy Trinity Catholic School Division

The next Holy Trinity board meeting is Monday, Jun 21.

CUPE, Holy Trinity sign new collective agreement in one day Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

In what was likely the fastest collective bargaining meeting ever, Holy Trinity Catholic School Division and CUPE Local 5506 managed to hammer out a new four-year agreement in one day.

The current collective agreement expired on Dec. 31, 2019, and both parties continued to operate under the existing agreement until this year. Negotiations between the division and CUPE then commenced on April 15, 2021, and concluded that day, according to a board of education report.

CUPE and the division agreed to negotiate only monetary items and settled on a total increase of 7.5 per cent: • One-per-cent increase from Jan. 1, 2020 to Aug. 31, 2021; • Two-per-cent increase from Sept. 1, 2021 to Aug. 31, 2022;

• Two-per-cent increase from Sept. 1, 2022 to Aug. 31, 2023; • 2.5-per-cent increase from Sept. 1, 2023 to Aug. 31, 2024.

“I must say, that’s the fastest agreement anybody has ever signed,” board chair Joann Blazieko said during the May meeting.

“It was a fast and furious day, for sure,” agreed Dave DePape, superintendent of human resources and operations.

Completing the negotiations was done at “warp speed,” echoed Curt Van Parys, chief financial officer. He was astounded that it happened so fast, especially since he was sceptical about the positive working relationship the division had with its employee groups.

Having worked with other school divi-

sions, Van Parys recalled the hours and days required when bargaining collective agreements there. However, after this negotiation, he admitted he is no longer sceptical about the relationship with the unions.

Members of the division’s negotiating team were important to completing this agreement, as they also performed plenty of pre-work and had many pre-meeting discussions to learn what the union wanted, said DePape.

One highlight of the new agreement is its length. The union wanted a two-year agreement, but that wouldn’t have been long enough, DePape pointed out. Extending the agreement to 2024 was “rewarding,” while minimizing retro pay was also important. Division adminis-

tration calculated it could handle the increase of one per cent.

What the division and union normally do after negotiations is hold a small celebration with wine and cheese to acknowledge the good work of both sides, he said. They weren’t able to do that this time but will look at having something in the future.

To recognize the positive relationship and collaborative approach with CUPE, DePape suggested that the board ratify the new agreement and send a card of thanks to CUPE Local 5506.

The board then voted unanimously to approve DePape’s suggestion.

The next Holy Trinity board of education meeting is June 21.

Catholic division plans $3M in upgrades over next four years Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

A new gym floor at St. Margaret School and an upgraded library at Vanier Collegiate are some projects Moose Jaw’s Catholic school division hopes to complete in the next two years.

The projects are part of Holy Trinity Catholic School Division’s three-year preventative maintenance and renewal (PMR) plan, which lays out the capital priorities the division wants to complete at its schools.

Division administration has budgeted $1.15 million in projects during the 202223 school year, $1.23 million during the 2023-24 school year and $901,765 during the 2024-25 school year, for a total of $3.28 million.

The Ministry of Education requires school divisions to submit a three-year PMR plan by June 30 annually, chief financial officer Curt Van Parys explained during the May board meeting. Holy Trinity has received $3.96 million in PMR funding since the program began during the 201213 fiscal year.

“Just pleased to see St. Mary’s gym floor on (the PMR list),” trustee Derek Hassen

said. “It was on the list years ago and, due to some tough budgets, was pushed down the list. I would just like to express my support for that project and advocate to see that go forward in the next year so they can get a proper gym floor.”

The division normally asks each year for $1.1 million to $1.2 million in capital funding to upgrade school buildings, said Van Parys. However, during this upcoming fiscal year of 2021-22, the ministry approved $545,000 in PMR funding.

Even though the ministry does not provide the full funding as requested, it’s important for the division to always ask for more than what grant funding is projected to be, he continued. The ministry had planned to increase PMR funding to school divisions by 15 per cent a year, but that won’t help Holy Trinity reach its $1.1 million request. “… But, it will go a long way to addressing the capital needs we do have,” he added. “Our needs far exceed what we are projected to receive through PMR.” Trustee Ted Wallin was concerned that the division would not receive the full

$1.15 million for the 2022-23 school year.

He wondered how division administration would determine which projects to undertake.

Projects that aren’t completed in one year are shifted to the next year, replied Van Parys. Administration works with the buildings department to prioritize projects and figure out which ones to do first while ensuring the full PMR funding is spent.

Administration conducts an annual review of the projects on that list since it is a “living document,” he added. A project that is in 23rd position could move up the list based on its importance.

Projects 2022-23 Some projects Holy Trinity has planned for 2022-23 are: • $385,762 at St. Margaret School: new gym floor, exterior upgrades, replace windows, upgrade HVAC hardware, replace library carpet; • $332,077 at Vanier Collegiate: renovate library, upgrade elevator controls, replace library carpet, replace floor in Sion Hall; • $186,253 at St. Agnes School: replace

roof section, move admin office to library, upgrade play structures; • $10,769 at St. Mary School: replace carpet; • $31,519 at St. Michael School: update play structures.

Projects 2023-24 Projects planned for 2023-24 are: • $284,223 at St. Margaret: upgrade HVAC equipment, replace exterior wall and add insulation; • $404,224 at Vanier: new LED lighting, replacing HVAC systems, repairing and insulating brick wall, replacing roof sections, repaving staff parking lot; • $357,814 at St. Michael: repairing exterior walls, landscaping around school, replacing furnaces; • $33,114 at St. Agnes: new roof section.

Projects 2024-25 Projects planned in 2024-25 include: • $755,994 at Sacred Heart: installing new fire alarm system, replacing roof section, replacing windows, replacing boiler, upgrading an HVAC system; • $118,869 at St. Michael: upgrading a brick wall.

Pandemic forces schools to focus next year on reading, learning, mental health Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

With the pandemic disrupting education across Saskatchewan this past year, the Ministry of Education plans to focus on three priorities next year to help students recover from the disturbances they’ve experienced.

The ministry established a provincial education council in 2020 to provide strategic guidance on the development and renewal of a provincial education plan, with an

implementation team directed to establish the outcomes, measures, and important actions to move the plan forward.

The team has developed a one-year interim education plan to respond to the pressures that the school system has experienced with the pandemic. The plan for the 2021-22 school year includes provincial-level actions that focus on reading, learning response, and mental health and

well-being.

These priorities are aligned with the four pillars of the provincial education plan framework: skills and knowledge, mental health and well-being, connections and relationships, and inclusive, safe and welcoming learning environments.

Feedback from the education council and implementation team members contributed to developing the interim provincial education plan.

Holy Trinity Catholic School Division is a member of the implementation team and has been fully involved in creating the draft interim plan, education director Sean Chase explained during the board of education’s May meeting. Trustees must now endorse the work so the provincial team can implement it.

“You’ve certainly heard me, on behalf of your administrative team, echo what we feel is a very strong approach to see unity across the province and a narrowed laser focus on these three items,” he said.

Division administrators and some trustees recently took part in a symposium that discussed Holy Trinity’s ongoing initiatives to address mental health and well-being, Chase added. Meanwhile, the division has been proactive with allocating COVID-19 funding for 2021-22 to support the priorities, including adding extra staff.

After reviewing the document, trustee Alison Bradish raised a concern with the priority area of reading, particularly with reading intervention plans for students in grades 1 to 5. She wondered how family engagement would look in this area.

Debbie Pushor, an internationally recognized expert on family engagement, is a member of the education council and is a strong advocate of schools opening their doors to more parental involvement, said Chase. The University of Saskatchewan professor reviewed the document and asked the council to insert that criterion.

“The idea of the more engagement we have from families of their working knowledge of what’s happening in any of the academic programming we have, the better uptake we’ll have with them supporting the learning journey at the home front, which we know is critical,” he continued.

Pushor’s research suggests that the time spent with at-home learning during the pandemic is an opportunity upon which school divisions should capitalize, Chase said. While many parents were exhausted after weeks of helping their kids, Pushor pointed out that energy and momentum were created from this daily support.

Chase added that this is all about promoting a shared partnership between the home and school-based staff for better family engagement.

School-based vaccine plan to begin in June for high school, elementary schools Larissa Kurz

Saskatchewan public health officials have shared details of the plan to deliver COVID-19 vaccines to youth using school clinics, which are expected to begin as early as June.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority has confirmed that it will be operating immunization clinics within all schools in the province to deliver the vaccine to youth, similar to other types of immunization programs typically provided.

An estimated 90,000 doses have been allocated to vaccinate youth aged 12 and over, who become eligible for vaccination beginning May 20.

Parents will receive the exact delivery dates for individual school-based clinics from the schools themselves, said Merriman, but the goal is to begin in early June. Officials say the school clinic program will occur over a threeweek period before school lets out this year.

"The option of school vaccinations provides greater convenience for parents who want to see their children provided protection through vaccination,” said Health Minister Paul Merriman, during a press conference on May 18.

Written consent for youth aged 12 to 17 will be required

to receive vaccination, and it will approve both doses of the vaccine at once.

Merriman said that consent is required primarily for tracking purposes, to avoid immunizing individuals who have already been immunized during a school clinic or elsewhere.

“We really encourage parents to be active in discussions with their children, review the information packages that will be provided out through schools, and discuss with their kids about the importance of vaccination,” said Derek Miller, SHA emergency operations centre lead.

School clinics will be just one option for youth to receive vaccination, said Merriman. Youth within the eligible ages are also welcome to attend any of public health’s open clinics, including booked appointments, walk-in or drive-through clinics or participating pharmacies.

Youth who are homeschooled or parents who wish to accompany their child during vaccination are being directed towards one of these alternative options, in lieu of the school program.

Only the Pfizer vaccine has been approved for use in youth aged 12 to 17, and so it will be the primary brand used for this age group in all clinics, both public and

school-based.

Vaccination against COVID-19 is not going to be mandatory in schools, said Merriman, and officials are confident that the flow of vaccine supply to the province will be sufficient enough to add the youth program.

As school clinics begin, the SHA will also be slowing down appointment availability over the next three weeks, to rearrange vaccine allocations.

Walk-in and drive-through clinics will be limited to operations on Fridays through Sundays, and booked appointments will be placed on hold temporarily, with residents seeking appointments directed towards pharmacies instead.

Second doses for youth are expected to be available in late July and August, following the age sequencing laid out for the second dose program.

Merriman said that the rate at which youth go for their second doses over the summer will determine if fall immunization clinics in schools will be required.

Information about the Pfizer vaccine and the school immunization program can be found online at saskatchewan.ca/COVID19-youth-vaccine.

Sask Polytech students returning to campuses this fall under hybrid plan Larissa Kurz

Saskatchewan Polytechnic students will be heading back to campuses this fall under a hybrid return plan, with programs delivered using both in-person and virtual methods for at least the first semester.

Has Malik, provost and vice-president academic, said administrators at Sask Polytech are taking a gradual approach to returning to the campus, following the switch to virtual learning last year, but with high hopes that a full return is in the future.

“It’s a hybrid approach, is probably the best way to describe it,” said Malik.

Currently, on-campus presence is at about 30 to 35 per cent of normal capacity, with many programs still utilizing fully online delivery. The return plan anticipates increasing to at least 50 per cent capacity, with the majority of programs offering an integrated approach that uses both online and in-person education tools.

“We will still maintain really strict guidelines around daily health checks, mandatory masking, and some form of social distancing included, to ensure we’re keeping safety in mind,” said Malik.

Select courses will be returning to campus, including those that utilize labs, shop time and other hands-on instruction methods. Other courses, like ones that focus on theoretical learning, will still be delivered virtually.

“What we’re looking at is potentially several courses entirely online, and other programs in which you might have a few courses face-to-face and a few courses that are online in the same semester,” explained Malik.

Course information currently available on the Sask Polytech website details what courses will be delivered using which method, with students advised to “expect to be on campus for the majority of their learning.”

The majority of campus services will also be resuming, but likely with limited hours that may expand later. This includes library and bookstore access, food services, testing centres, counselling, and Indigenous centres.

“It may not be full hours, but the services will be available to all on campus, so that students can take advan-

Vaccination will not be mandatory for students to come back, Malik confirmed, but students are encouraged to consider seeking immunization for their own personal health and safety.

“We strongly recommend that students [get vaccinated] because that is really both for their safety, themselves, and also for the community,” said Malik. “But we’re not going to mandate, we’re not going to be verifying or checking that.”

He indicated that further re-opening for the winter session may be in consideration if the fall semester goes well, but that doesn’t mean campus closures aren’t off the table if transmission spikes again in the future.

Moose Jaw and Regina campuses and recently closed due to increased numbers of COVID-19, said Malik, and the decision was made to keep both communities safe at the time.

“What we want to do is avoid those scenarios, [and] we feel confident we won’t need to change our plans,” said Malik. “If there is an unexpected spike, we’ve been following the advice of the chief medical health officer [and] if his office is saying that we need to limit access, we will obviously follow those guidelines.”

Changes to course delivery also aren’t likely to happen mid-semester either, said Malik, although service operations may be extended.

Sask Polytech has developed its plan in consultation with other post-secondary institutions in the province, and Malik said that the administration is confident it will be effective.

“We’re working very closely with the Ministries of Education and Health, and I think we’ve come up with a plan that’s pretty solid,” said Malik.

Malik also added that virtual course delivery has actually been receiving positive feedback from about half of Polytech students this past year, which has administration considering integrating hybrid education on a more permanent basis for some programs.

“I think it’s great to have the ability to get back on campus, and have campus services available, [because] there’s so much more of the social environment for students,” said Malik. “So we want to find that happy medium and give students all the opportunity we have possible, between the various options that work best for them.”

Further details about program delivery and the return to campus plan can be found online at saskpolytech.ca/programstatus.

COVID-19 news recap for this week: May 17 to 23 Here is a summary of the COVID-19 news shared over the past week, collected by Moose Jaw Express staff: --------The vaccine eligibility age has lowered for the last time for the first dose program, now including all residents aged 12 and older.

Eligible individuals may book a vaccine appointment from a public health clinic either online or by phoning the Vaccine Call Centre, or visit any participating pharmacy, walk-in or drive-through clinic, or mobile clinic.

Only the Pfizer vaccine has been nationally approved for individuals under the age of 18, so youth are reminded to attend a clinic that is delivering the Pfizer brand specifically in order to receive a vaccination.

--------Now that the vaccine program has expanded to include youth, officials confirmed that a school-based immunization program will be providing COVID-19 vaccine through schools, beginning in June.

For youth looking to receive their first dose before then, they are welcome to attend a public clinic or pharmacy appointment and opt-out of the school program.

Written consent to be vaccinated will be required from all individuals under the age of 18, and will approve both first and second doses. Vaccination will not be mandatory in schools at this time.

Second doses for youth are expected to be available in late July and August at public clinics, following the age sequencing laid out for the second dose program. The rate at which youth go to second-dose clinics over the summer will determine if a school immunization program will be needed in the fall.

Larissa Kurz --------Only one new COVID-19 outbreak was declared in Moose Jaw this week, according to the list of active outbreaks from the health authority.

Chillers Pub & Grill declared an outbreak on May 15, joining ten other public businesses and schools still on the active list.

Moose Jaw Families for Change declared an outbreak on May 6, South Hill Fine Foods and Chez Nous senior care home on May 2, Moose Jaw SARCAN on April 27, the administrative sector of Rockport Carrier on April 21, Simpson Seeds on April 20, and the locomotive shop at Moose Jaw CP Rail on April 13.

Central Collegiate high school and St. Michaels Elementary School also remain on the outbreak list, declared on May 2 and on April 28, respectively. Central moved its entire student body to online learning last week as a response to the active cases.

--------Saskatchewan began its second dose vaccine plan on May 17, beginning a rollout plan expected to conclude in July.

As of May 24, any resident aged 80 or older or who received their first dose vaccine on or before March 1 is eligible to receive their second dose of vaccine.

Cancer patients, organ transplant recipients and individuals with high clinical priority are also included in the current eligibility group and will receive a letter from the health authority.

Second doses are available at any of the SHA’s vaccine clinics, including booked appointments, walk-in and drive-through sites, and at participating pharmacies.

At this time, public health is planning to offer second dose shots to match the brand of the first dose received, meaning residents will need to know the brand of their first vaccine when booking appointments or attending clinics.

The rollout will follow the same age sequencing pattern as the first dose campaign, with residents becoming eligible on a weekly rotation based on their age or date of first vaccination.

The final change in eligibility for second doses is tentatively scheduled for July 26, for residents who received their first dose on or before June 28.

--------Care home residents will be able to welcome more visitors beginning on May 30, as visitation limits will expand as part of the first step of the province’s reopening plan.

All residents in long-term care or personal care homes will be able to welcome an unlimited number of visitors, two at a time for indoor visits and four at a time for outdoor visits.

Other public health guidelines will still be in place for visitors, including mandatory masking, physical distancing, hand hygiene and temperature screening.

Restrictions will lift further as the next two steps of the re-opening plan commence, said officials, with the final step expected to begin in mid-July.

APAS welcomes proposed fee cuts to grain inspections and weighing services The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) EXPRESS plans to reduce fees for grain inspection and weighing services for producers, likely saving them almost $14 million in 2021-22 and nearly $20 million in future years.

These are changes that the Agricultural Producers of Saskatchewan (APAS) is pleased about since the organization has been calling for more transparency in the system, so for CGC to respond to that request is good news for producers in Saskatchewan and Canada, according to president Todd Lewis.

The proposed changes go into effect Aug. 1.

CGC says the fee reductions are in response to growth

Moose Jaw Express staff in grain experts and should align fee revenues with fixed-service delivery costs. Proposed fee reductions include cutting the cost of inspection and weighing service fees to $1.05 per tonne from $1.48 for ships and cutting costs to $37.88 per official inspection and weighing services for railways cars, trucks, or containers.

The federal government estimates that reducing these fees will cut costs in the 2021-22 fiscal year by roughly $13.79 million or 19 per cent. It also estimates that the cost savings will increase by roughly $20.68 million or 29 per cent in the 2023-24 fiscal years.

“These savings will allow producers to invest more in

their operations, and we thank (federal) Minister (Marie-Claude) Bibeau for reducing fees on this essential service for our producers,” said Lewis. “This fee reduction is the result of good work by Chief Commissioner Chorney and the staff at the CGC.” Public comment on the proposed changes will occur on Saturday, May 22, in the Canada Gazette, and stakeholders can submit their feedback until June 7.

APAS encourages its members to engage in the consultation process since these fee reductions mean more money in producers’ pockets.

Motorbike in Moose Jaw River Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express The Moose Jaw Police Service closed Manitoba Street East from Third to Ninth avenues northeast following an incident earlier on May 18.

Four police cars and several members of the Combined Traffic unit were on the scene after an apparent incident involving a green motorbike. The motorbike could be seen in the Moose Jaw River on the south side of the bridge.

On the Front Porch

by Wanda Smith

Pioneering Spirit Most farmers will be winding down their seeding operations. It has been an intense season for them with extremely long hours coupled with outside pressures and responsibilities. This year, as in recent years, the drought is never far from their minds.

Most ranchers will be putting their cows out to pasture now. The exhausting calving season is winding down; there’s never a dull moment on a ranch with fence to fix, calves to brand and haying equipment to get ready. This year, as in recent years, the drought is never far from their minds. Hopefully by the time this goes to press, we will have seen some widespread moisture come to our area.

Of all walks and ways of life, I hold farmers and ranchers in high regard. Many times, they are misrepresented, misunderstood and undermined. I believe being a farmer or rancher is a high calling such as the calling of a doctor or a policeman. The sacrifices they make are incredible.

Do we really understand the higher purpose of the farmer and rancher? They feed the world! Farmers and ranchers have come under attack in recent years, yet they truly are the backbone of society.

These men and women are pioneers to the core; they are open-minded, progressive thinkers, all the while breaking new ground. They don’t lock the door to their work and go home. They live out their calling 24/7. It is a part of their DNA. A pioneer is “… a person who is among the first to explore or settle a new country or area.” There is a strong pioneering spirit in our great province of Saskatchewan. I am reminded of my great grandma who spent her first winter near Maple Creek, SK under a wagon (that was turned upside down) for shelter. Pioneers will pay the price for what they believe in.

God never wants us to settle, maintain or become stagnant. He is always encouraging us to reach and grow forward. It can be unsettling to go into unknown territory, yet He asks us to take steps of faith into the ‘new’. He is asking us to move forward despite the fact we’ve never been that way before; something like Joshua going into the Promised Land. “Then you will know which way to go, since you have never been this way before… and the Lord will do amazing things among you.” Joshua 3:4,5.

We need to walk forward in obedience with courage, as He has called us to. A pioneer goes first; blazing the trail for others to come along behind.

Christine Caine speaks of being a pioneering leader in life, regardless of what your background is or who you are. She suggests we intentionally develop pioneering leadership qualities such as: 1. Being a self-starter. “Move forward without the help of others.”

2. Being motivated by internal rewards. I like to think of this as incubating something on the inside; not sharing all your innovative ideas but allowing them to grow and develop within before they are shared with the world.

3. Inspiring others. Rally others to the cause you are passionate about. This can be achieved through many means.

4. Staying the course. Commit and persist. Don’t give up!

5. Being creative, innovative and imaginative.

6. Connecting and networking. It’s not all about “me.”

Christine Caine encourages us to “… start looking for the paths God wants you to forge for the future. And then, move forward pushing through every challenge, never losing sight of what God has called you to do.” What has God called you to pioneer?

OBITUARIES PEGGY GRACE HALSTEAD (NEE COLLINS) It is with deep sorrow and much love that the family of Peggy Halstead announces her passing on May 19, 2021 at 82 years of age. Peggy is lovingly remembered by her husband of 56 years, David Halstead, her two children, Neal Halstead and Sara Pauls, her sons-in-law, Joe Slabe and Joel Pauls, her five grandchildren, Anja, Issah, Eden Slabe and Nathaniel and Melissa Pauls; as well as two sisters in law, a brother in law, three nieces, two nephews and numerous relatives and friends around the world.

Peggy was born at St Olave’s Hospital in Bermondsey, London on August 18, 1938 to Edward and Grace (Edmonds) Collins. She was just over a year old when England declared war on Germany. A child of the war, the sounds of guns and fighter planes, the terror of bombs and bomb shelters, rationing and her father away in service was her life until V-E Day. Peggy was proud of her English heritage although she lost most of her accent over the years.

Peggy moved to Canada in 1963 after a visit the year before. David and Peggy were married in 1964 and lived in Rivers, Manitoba, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Kumasi, Ghana and Winnipeg, Manitoba. She served as a school trustee for 13 years in Moose Jaw and for three years in Winnipeg.

Peggy was published in Peter Gzowski’s book, “This Country in the Morning” and broadcast on, and printed in, Stuart McLean’s “Time Now for the Vinyl Café Story Exchange”. She also published two books of short stories, notably “Teddy ‘N’ Me” about growing up in London during the Blitz.

Peggy worked at the Moose Jaw Public Library and one of the banks in Canada, but her favourite job was as a Ground Hostess at Victoria Station, London for BOAC, now British Airways. She shared many stories of helping passengers during the golden age of travel.

Peggy enjoyed travel and visited almost every continent and all but one Canadian province, but she always loved her home country of England.

Peggy will be remembered for her kind and welcoming personality, her sharp witty humour and her love for her family.

The funeral service will be recorded, and the family will share the link to the recording at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to Lupus Canada (www.lupuscanada.org).

PAULOWICZ It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our wife, mother, grandmother and sister, Elizabeth Mary Paulowicz (née: Neuman), aged 74 years of Moose Jaw, SK on Monday, May 10th, 2021.

Liz was born in Utrecht, Holland on June 3rd, 1946 to her parents Petronella (Bos) and George Neuman.

Liz journeyed with her war bride mother Petronella aboard the Queen Mary to start their life in Canada with her father George, a Canadian WW2 soldier, at the tender age of 3 months old. The family resided in Regina, SK. Liz married her high school sweetheart, Robert Paulowicz, on July 8th, 1967 after completing her nursing training at the Regina General Hospital in Regina. Liz, or “Elly” as she was frequently referred to by her family, was deeply committed to her husband and children. She enjoyed her hand at many crafts over the years and was extremely artistic. She found a love of making stained glass projects, which she enjoyed until she was not able to continue due to her illness. After her children were older, Liz returned to her career in nursing. She worked for many years at the Moose Jaw Union Hospital until she retired in 2006. Bob and Liz enjoyed many years of taking many trips to Las Vegas, Palm Springs, Hawaii, various Caribbean destinations, South America and Europe. Liz especially loved to be involved in her grandchildren’s lives, spending many evenings and weekends at either a hockey rink, baseball, football or soccer field, or watching dance recitals. She was predeceased by her parents, George and Petronella Neuman. Liz is survived and will be dearly missed by her husband of almost 54 years, Robert Paulowicz and their 2 children, Lisa (Robbie) Parker and Jeff (Tracy) Paulowicz; grandchildren: Brady Parker (Sarah Husak), Jadyn Paulowicz and Joshua Paulowicz; sister, Georgina (Alan) Neumiller; and nephew, Luke Neumiller. A special thank you to all the staff at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital, Dr. David Braun, Dr. Kate Pilon, the Saskatchewan Transplant Team, Dr. Fenton and Dr. Tam and the Edmonton Royal University Hospital, Dr. Lien and his fantastic Transplant Department. Due to the restrictions regarding the current health situation, a Private Family Service will be held at a later date. For those so wishing, memorial donations in Liz’s name may be made to STARS Air Ambulance, 2640 Airport Road, Regina, SK S4W 1A3 or The Moose Jaw Humane Society, Box 1658 Station Main, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 7K7. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. James Murdock, Funeral Director 306-693-4550 www.moosejawfuneralhome.com

OBITUARIES

DEYOTTE James Michael Deyotte, aged 77 years of Moose Jaw, SK passed away on Wednesday, May 19th, 2021. Jim was born in Motherwell, Scotland on February 1st, 1944. He came to Canada with his mother Margaret, arriving in Halifax on July 1st, 1946. Sadly things didn’t work out with his father, Alphonse. Jim was very attached to his mother as it was just the two of them. She was his rock and he was hit hard when she passed away.

Jim was very musical. He played a fine trumpet. A highlight was winning the Moose Jaw Music Festival “Class A Brass Solo Showing the Most Promise” at the age of 16. He went through the Lions Band Program and later played with the Saskatchewan Dragoon Band for nine years. He even played for Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau. He directed the choir at St. Joseph’s Church – which is where he met his future wife, Simone.

Jim married Simone (née: Jones) in 1971. They raised three children together – Katherine, Kevin and Pamela.

Unfortunately, Jim was diagnosed with Bi-Polar disease in his later years. He fought – but the disease and time prevailed.

Jim was very proud of his Scottish heritage and always dreamed of going back one day. This was not to be however, as poor health would not allow it.

Jim was able to remain at home until near the very end – spending his last days in the hospital. He received excellent care, but it was not possible to kill off the “super bug” that claimed him.

He was predeceased by his mother, Margaret; father, Alphonse; son, Robbie; as well as many relatives overseas and in Canada. Left to mourn Jim’s passing are his wife of 50 years, Simone; daughter, Katherine Rose Munro (Ken) and their sons, Warren (Kayla, Christopher, Elizabeth), Bradley, Kyle, Kurtis (Kat, Gwynevere, Ember), and Kenneth; son, Kevin James Deyotte (Hunter); daughter, Pamela Margaret Montgomery (Tom) and their daughters Cassia and Marisa. A Private Funeral Service will be held at St. Joseph’s Church. A public gathering will be held at a later date. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane.

BELLAN, JEAN It is with profound sadness, that we as a family, announce the passing of Eugenia (Jean) Stanley Bellan, age 89 years on May 16th, 2021 at Dr. F.H Wigmore Regional Hospital in Moose Jaw. Mom was born November 23, 1931, in Bishopric, SK. At a very young age, mom knew the value of hard work, being frugal and putting her complete trust in God, her Lord and Saviour. In 1950, mom was employed with her first job, at the Moose Jaw Times Herald. She met the love of her life, Bill Ambrose, and married July 1st, 1952. As an immaculate homemaker and gifted seamstress, mom poured her heart into her home and raising their three daughters, Shelly, Sharon, and Shannon (while experiencing the very ultimate and profound loss of their infant child, Sheila Desiree).

In 1980, mom accepted temporary employment at Valley View Centre in the sewing room, which she thoroughly enjoyed, until life led her to Saskatoon. She was still very much involved with family. It was there that mom received her Special Care Aid and was employed with St. Joseph’s Nursing Home. Mom also volunteered with the Saskatchewan Symphony Orchestra, which was a genuine passion of hers. After the passing of her second husband, Ted Hearn, and her retirement, mom returned to Moose Jaw, once again, pouring her heart into the lives of her family while embracing their events, accomplishments, and achievements. Mom was a strong supporter of the Moose Jaw community, with its fine arts events and fundraisers. Attending the Festival of Words became a genuine highlight of her summer. Moms’ favourite motto and words she lived by were “Look your best, be your best and do your best” words of wisdom that will be forever etched in our hearts. Mom also lived by “Let your hopes not your hurts form your future”. We will remember our mom, grandma, and great grandma for being stylish and fashionable. “The way you look, is the way you are going to feel” another motto mom lived by. Self-care was a must, eating healthy, getting fresh air, long walks and to be your best. She believed in us with unconditional love as well as being non-judgmental. Mom reminded us to always be our best selves; put our best foot forward and never give up.

Mom always told us, “you need just one person to believe in yourself”, and she was that one who gave us courage to carry on. Mom went above and beyond for doing her best.

Mom had a heart of gold, always putting others before herself and did her best to show God’s love with her heartfelt gift of generosity. Mom was a strong supporter Moose Jaw's Affordable Printer

of our local charities. In the summer of 2020, after a brief illness, mom was placed in the care of the Chez Nous Residence, her “dream home” as she would describe it.

Once again mom could enjoy life to its fullest with tasty, healthy meals and safe walks outdoors. We are grateful to the staff at Chez Nous for their genuine care in these past few months. Mom will forever be cherished, and her memory will shine on and remain alive in the hearts of her family. She is predeceased by her parents Stanley (1954) and Lillian (1972) Billan; infant daughter Sheila Desiree Ambrose (November 30, 1960 – December 6, 1960); brothers George Billan (9 years old, 1954), Cliff Billan (2001), Ed Billan (2010); second husband Ted Hearn (1991); son-in-law Neil Pritchard (1999); grandson Jason Pritchard (2018); grandson-in-law Mike Gerbrandt (2017) and nephew Mark Billan (2020). Mom is survived by her three daughters, Shelley (Ken) Street, granddaughter Julie Gerbrandt, great grandchildren, Janaya, Kianna, and Joel, grandson Rick Street (Miranda Marcale); Sharon Pritchard (Ed Goodwin), grandsons Blake Pritchard and Shane Pritchard (Sherry Azure); Shannon (Dave) Jennings, grandson Linden Jennings, granddaughter, Carly Jennings (George Schindell); first husband and life long friend Bill Ambrose; godchild, Kathy Tennent; sisters-in-law; Carol Billan and Dororthy Billan; nephew Scott (Karen) Billan (Evan & Hanna); great-nieces Jennifer (Micheal) Langan (Micheal Mark Jr); Christy (Nathan) Knezacek (Logan & Juliette). Also survived Ted Hearns daughter Rae (Doug) Mitchell and family amongst numerous relatives on the Ambrose, Billan and Fedyk Sides. A Special thank you to the Doctors and Nursing staff on the Medical Unit at Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital in Moose Jaw for going above and beyond with their compassion for mom in her final days by having her favourite HYMNS and SPIRITUAL SONGS played at her bed side. Another special thank you to Pastor Jeremy McDonald from Moose Jaw Church of God for reading scriptures and praying with mom. Thank you, Della Ferguson, for being a genuine support person to our family during these hard times. In Lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in mom’s name (Jean Bellan) to Riverside Mission 40 Manitoba Street East, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 0A2 and/or Hunger in Moose Jaw 269 Stadacona St W, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 1Z4. A private family graveside will be held at a much later date. In living memory of Jean, a memorial planting will be made by Jones-Parkview Funeral Services.

Mosaic Place receives GBAC certification for high-quality cleaning and safety protocols Larissa Kurz

Mosaic Place has received certification from the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC) announcing that the biorisk and cleaning protocols at the venue meet high standards.

The GBAC Star accreditation is an international certification that evaluates a facility’s cleaning practices, biohazard protocols and health and safety plans to ensure they meet a high standard of safety.

“I really think this is kind of a safety seal for everybody who enters through our doors, whether it's audience members or people preforming or playing, whoever visits Mosaic Place,” said general manager Ryan MacIvor.

Certification involves an application and review process, where GBAC reviews the applicant’s procedures using 20 core elements to determine whether they exceed or meet the standard.

“It's a pretty thorough review of all our policies and those core elements,” said MacIvor. “Someone is coming in and looking at what you’re doing and saying, ‘you’re doing a great job, can you do better?’”

GBAC Star accreditation shows that Mosaic Place is

Mosaic Place in Moose Jaw. (file photo) working hard to safely welcome audiences, performers and athletes back through its doors, said MacIvor.

Biohazard responses have been very top-of-mind lately, he continued, and Mosaic Place staff are hoping this international accreditation will help patrons feel more at ease returning to the venue.

“I think our policies and procedures are very strong and rigorous [and] I think this just reinforces, by getting this certification, the great work being done here,” said

MacIvor. “As events and live entertainment venues looks to re-open, I think this is just another one of those checkmarks to ensure we are ready and prepared to welcome guests back in a safe manner.”

MacIvor estimated the process to certify Mosaic Place took several months to complete, and the venue will have to complete a review accreditation process annually to continue to receive the certification.

Mosaic Place is now one of only two Saskatchewan entertainment venues to receive Star accreditation from GBAC, which McIvor feels really shows how dedicated the venue and Spectra Venue Management are to their patrons’ safety.

“This certification really showcases to the community that we take our fans and tenants and the people who come to the facility seriously, in terms of their health and safety,” said MacIvor. “I’m proud to say that Mosaic Place does meet this international standard, and we’re really pleased to be able to do this.”

Province records major increases in housing starts in April, data shows Moose Jaw Express staff

New data from Statistics Canada about housing starts this past April shows there are positive signs of a strong economic recovery in Saskatchewan, with the province recording major increases in housing starts.

Urban housing starts in Saskatchewan in April increased to 369 units compared to 173 homes the previous April, an increase of 113.3 per cent, which was the second-highest percentage growth after Newfoundland during that same time, while housing starts overall across the country increased by 63.2 per cent, according to a provincial government news release.

Data from Stats Canada shows that urban housing starts in Saskatchewan during the first four months of 2021 increased to 1,004 units compared to 502 units during the same period in 2020, a jump of 101.4 per cent. This placed Saskatchewan second among the provinces in percentage change.

“Strong growth in leading economic indicators like housing starts, manufacturing sales, and job growth show our

Housing starts in April 2021 were better than April 2020, data shows. Photo courtesy Government of Saskatchewan economy is resilient and that Saskatchewan continues to lead the nation in economic recovery coming out of the global COVID-19 pandemic,” MLA Jeremy Harrison, minister of trade and export development, said in the news release.

“Saskatchewan has one of the most competitive business environments in all of Canada, and as we’ve seen with the recent large private sector investments worth billions of dollars, our province is in an enviable position.”

Housing starts for single-family dwellings increased to 164 units during April 2021 compared to 63 units during the same time last year, Stats Canada’s data showed.

Meanwhile, housing starts for multiple units jumped to 205 units compared to 110 homes, an increase of 86.4 per cent.

The strong growth in housing starts contributed significantly to the large increase of 8,700 new construction jobs this April compared to last April, based on the Statistics Canada Labour Force Survey for April 2021, the news release added.

More information about housing starts in Saskatchewan and Canada can be found on the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation website or the Statistics Canada website.
