“Incredible and very emotional”: Salvation Army Toy Run draws hundreds of riders Massive haul of toys will make Christmas that much brighter for families in need Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The 2021 Salvation Army Run makes its way up Main Street.

Before the 2021 edition of the Salvation Army Toy Run even started their trek up Main Street on Saturday afternoon, it was easy to see that the Moose Jaw Cycle Association had once again come through in a big way.

Well over 500 riders lined Manitoba Street from the Fourth Avenue Bridge all the way down to Mosaic Place prior to making the trip to the Salvation Army Citadel on Thatcher Drive. And when the cacophony of rides finally made their annual run, you knew a lot of families in Moose Jaw would be having a happy Christmas.

“This is incredible and I would say very emotional,” said Lt. Lester Ward of the Salvation Army as riders milled around the church parking lot. ““This is the second for (wife Lt. Almeta Ward) and myself, last year was a drive-by because of COVID, but this year we have a parking lot and side streets that are packed with bikes and the donations are unbelievable. What a generous, generous heart from the residents of Moose Jaw and the surrounding area. And even folks that don’t have a bike, they were showing up an hour before with donations for children.”

Participants were asked to bring a new and unwrapped toy to the drop-off point, resulting in an impressive pile of stuffed animals, games and just about anything else that a youngster would love to have under the tree at Christmas.

Folks also made a host of monetary donations, and Ward couldn’t even get through a five-minute interview with MooseJawToday.com without being approached by someone looking to add a bit more to the whole cause.

“This is very exciting and we’re so blessed to be able to provide a Christmas to children,” Ward said. “When I look at the crowd here today and the bikes and understanding that they come from all over, it truly, truly shows the heart and passion of the people. They never let you down and they always go above and beyond in the community, whether it’s the Christmas Kettle campaign or the Toy Ride, they hit limits that we didn’t even anticipate.”

The toys gathered will be distributed to families in a unique format that was first tried last year — a ‘store’ will be set up in the Salvation Army Citadel hall, and parents will be able to shop for free to pick up presents for their young ones.

“It was so, so well received last year and so appreciated we felt we had to do it that way again,” Ward said.

The Toy Run is just part of a year-round campaign by the Salvation Army to gather all they can to help families have the best Christmas possible. Next up will be the aforementioned Christmas Kettle campaign closer to the holidays, and volunteers are once again needed.

“It’s a great cause, all the money goes back into the community, whether it’s food during Christmas, toys required or special items required,” Ward said. “If there are folks who would like to offer some volunteer hours, please reach out to our office, anyone can help.”

Two students from Moose Jaw have been awarded the Prince Edward Arts Scholarship

By April Meersman

SK Arts, the second oldest arts funding program in the world, has been supporting developing artists since 1948. The Arts Council of Great Britain is the oldest arts funding council who started only two years earlier in 1946.

This year, SK Arts has given to almost a hundred individuals and organizations grants and scholarships equalling more than $650,000.

SK Arts CEO Michael Jones says, “We fund all artistic disciplines. We really want to enable students to be able to pursue a high calibre education.”

The grants, programs, and services offered

by SK Arts are for individuals and groups whose activities have an impact on the arts in Saskatchewan and ensure that opportunities exist for Saskatchewan residents to experience all forms of art.

One scholarship in particular, The Prince Edward Arts Scholarship, provides funding to Saskatchewan students and who have been accepted or have applied to study or train in arts programs at accredited post-secondary institutions or recognized arts training institutions.

This year, two students from Moose Jaw have been awarded the Prince Edward Arts Scholarship.

Brooke Zarubin received a scholarship of $2,500, which she is using towards a Bachelor of Music in performance voice studies. “Music has been a central theme and influence in my life for as long as I can remember. I have been involved in music, specifically singing and musical theatre, since I was six years old. I have taken voice lessons ever since and have been fortunate to perform in 21 musical theatre productions comprising school, community and professional theatre. I have also taken several years of piano lessons and some dance, sung in several choirs at school, played flute in concert band and played piano in jazz band. My life has pretty much revolved around the arts. Along the way, I have been blessed with talented teachers and castmates who have contributed to my growth as an artist.”

She recently moved to Toronto to attend

When Brooke and her family drove in downtown Toronto, the Snowbirds happened to fly overhead giving her the sense of Saskatchewan supporting her dreams. “It felt like the best kind of wel-

come from back home.”

“When I was notified that I had been selected as a recipient of the Prince Edward Arts Scholarship, I was so excited and felt very honoured to be included amongst some amazing artists from across Saskatchewan.

I am so appreciative of the generous support Sask Arts provides to myself and other Saskatchewan artists!”

Ha’Keena Maneso received $2,500 to study music theatre performance. Unfortunately, she was unavailable for comment.

From ballet to ballrooms, from painting to performance art, SK Arts welcomes all disciplined artists to the professional world of art. For more information on grants, services or programs offered to artists by SK Arts, visit their website at www.sk-arts.ca

Organizers pleased with the support for fundraiser for Beattie family Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Organizers are pleased with the support they have received for a GoFundMe campaign to support a Moose Jaw family whose father was killed in a collision in British Columbia.

Todd Beattie, his wife Holly and son Kai were involved in a motor vehicle collision on Sept. 5 near Revelstoke, B.C., which claimed Todd’s life and put Holly and Kai in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

News reports say the RCMP are still investigating the matter.

Chad Miskiman has known the Beatties for 20 years and learned of the incident after the Beatties’ daughter called him shortly after the collision. The family had dropped her off in Nanaimo, B.C., for school before heading back to Saskatchewan.

“I was quite shocked. Obviously, you don’t anticipate that something like that would happen. But I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing,” Miskiman said.

He and some friends met after work and discussed how they could support the family. He thought of starting a GoFundMe campaign, which he did a day after the col-

lision. Miskiman set the total at $15,000 since he was unsure what to expect. But within hours, the fundraiser took off, and he kept increasing the total.

“It’s a true testament to how many people knew Todd and Holly and what kind of a family they are,” he said. “I’d describe (Todd) as a gentle giant. He was a big burly man with a tough-looking exterior but a soft, giving person to those who were close to him.”

Todd, 48, had a quiet presence that could overtake a room whenever he entered, while he was an admirable man who was hard-working and great to be around, Miskiman continued. He also enjoyed hunting with his best friend.

As of Sept. 15, the GoFundMe campaign stood at $65,425 with a goal of $70,000.

Miskiman thought the current total was amazing and thought the support from the community was overwhelming and appreciated.

After the collision, Holly was airlifted to a Calgary hospital and remains stable after undergoing surgery on her collar bone and left arm. Miskiman noted that she is

Meanwhile, Kai was taken to the children’s hospital in Calgary and has been discharged. All four of the Beatties’ chil-

dren are now there with their mother.

A group of hockey dads in Moose Jaw has planned two rib night fundraisers at the end of September at the Crushed Can Sports Bar and Nightclub to support the Beatties. Tickets, however, are sold out.

The donation will further “We have been fortunate to help establish support developing and applying innovascholarships, facilities, and programming tive education practices that will affect and

Meanwhile, the College of Engineering will use $500,000 to support the newly launched RE-ENGINEERED Program for first-year students, featuring re-designed courses and class scheduling and grading that focuses on helping students attain important skills.

Furthermore, the college’s Ron and Jane Graham School of Professional Development (SoPD) will use $400,000 to support a project co-ordinator who can monitor and evaluate initial outcomes of the RE-ENGINEERED program. The co-ordinator will also help develop professional development opportunities for students, alumni and other professionals.

Founded in 2012, the SoPD offers courses and certificates in areas such as communication, tech entrepreneurship and leadership.

“Ron and Jane Graham have set an excep-

tionally high standard of giving to the University of Saskatchewan and we are deeply grateful for their ongoing support,” said USask president Peter Stoicheff.

“Their gifts elevate teaching, learning and the student experience at USask. The impact of their several donations through the years spans generations of students. By investing in critical research and visionary spaces, the Grahams continue to support our university’s response to global issues.”

Other notable projects the Grahams have funded include extra basketball courts at Merlis Belsher Place, development of the Ron and Jane Graham Sport Science and Health Centre at Merlis Belsher Place, and expansion of the Graham Huskie Clubhouse at Griffiths Stadium.

In 2018, the gymnasium floor at the Physical Activity Complex was redesigned and named “Ron and Jane Graham Centre Court” to recognize their contributions.

It’s an overwhelming sight to see hundreds of bikers riding together for a cause. The annual Toy Run for the Salvation Army was again held this past weekend and the bikers’ big and generous hearts will certainly provide a lot of happiness for less fortunate kids when they gleefully find a gift under the Christmas tree tagged for them.

It was also heartwarming to recently meet some of those guys Joan Ritchie …” from Those Guys Car Club that take their passion for clasEDITOR sic cars, souped-up muscle cars and such to use them as a draw to fundraise for Hunger in Moose Jaw, providing $1800 towards Kid’s Lunches. Way to go guys!

And on another note, what about the Shriners that held a Shrine and Cruise on Saturday nite to culminate their fundraiser…with a draw for a 2000 Plymouth Prowler, as well as a concert provided by the UnCoolas. All the money the Moose Jaw Shriners raise in their endeavours goes to local families with their ongoing community service. You deserve a big thanks as well.

Of extremely honourable mention is the donation made by former Moose Javian’s Jane and Ron Graham…$5.9M to the U of S to support a number of initiatives there. The Grahams are the largest cumulative alumni donors in the U of S history. How admirable is that!

And then I see how generous the community at large is with donations to help families that are experiencing hardship and loss. In the whole scheme of things, we are all part of a larger community family with a heart that hurts when one of us hurts, as well as being able to give support as needed.

I also read about the Age-Friendly Committee that encourages the building of an inclusive community of all ages and abilities to meet the challenges of an aging population. The committee is looking for members so if interested contact Christine at mjliteracy@yahoo.ca And we will all be seniors one day as we age so enjoy this humourous take on aging.

Twelve Commandments for Seniors: #1 – Talk to yourself. There are times you need expert advice. #2 – “In Style” are the clothes that still fit. #3 – You don’t need anger management. You need people to stop pissing you off. #4 – Your people skills are just fine. It’s your tolerance for idiots that needs work. #5 – The biggest lie you tell yourself is, “I don’t need to write that down. I’ll remember it.” #6 – “On Time” is when you get there. #7 – Even duct tape can’t fix stupid, but it sure does muffle the sound. #8 – It would be wonderful if we could put ourselves in the dryer for ten minutes, then come out wrinkle-free and three sizes smaller. #9 – Lately, you’ve noticed people your age are so much older than you. #10 – Growing old should have taken longer. #11 – Aging has slowed you down, but it hasn’t shut you up. #12 – You still haven’t learned to act your age and hope you never will. …And one more: “One for the road” means peeing before you leave the house.

The charitable grant gaming program provides a financial boost to volunteer groups and organizations across the province by reinserting funds back into the community.

A wide variety of volunteer groups and organizations in and around Moose Jaw have received a total sum of $113,462 from the SLGA in the last fiscal quarter. These funds help groups and volunteers provide extra support for services within these communities.

“Their work helps to enhance local communities in many different ways and our government is proud to provide this additional support to more than 300 groups and organizations.” Minister Responsible for Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) Jim Reiter said.

Groups that raise funds through licensed charitable gaming events like bingo, raffles, and Texas Hold ‘em receive a quarterly grant equal to 25 percent of their net proceeds raised through these various activities. Groups that conduct licensed charitable gaming activities and events do not apply for the charitable gaming grant. When a charity or organization submits their charitable gaming report, SLGA uses that amount to determine the grant for each individual organization.

What is an Age-Friendly Community?

Submitted by Moose Jaw Age-Friendly Committee

Recently Moose Jaw Age-Friendly Committee was recognized by the City of Moose Jaw. So, what is an Age-Friendly Community?

Saskatchewan’s population is aging and this will have significant implications for society and for the sustainability of Saskatchewan communities.

All community residents, including older persons, persons with disabilities, children and youth deserve to fully and meaningfully participate in all aspects of community life.

There are numerous social and economic benefits to building a community that is inclusive and that meets the changing needs of residents as they age.

In an Age-Friendly community, businesses, organizations and municipal governments are mindful about the challenges and opportunities related to the physical and social environment so as to help seniors “age actively.” In other words, the community is set up to help seniors live safely, enjoy good health and stay involved. Looking through an older adult “lens” serves people of all ages and abilities.

Ramped sidewalks serve those who use wheelchairs or scooters AND those young parents pushing strollers. In addition, an Age- Friendly Community that actively supports aging adults helps adults stay in the community.

Half a million people in Saskatchewan live in communities where Age-Friendly Committees are active. These older adults are our tax payers and volunteers. As a matter of fact, the economic impact of older adults exceeds $500 million each year (from Strategies for Positive Aging in Saskatchewan). 71% of respondents provide close to $400 million annually to the life of the province, The World Health Organization (WHO) developed the

M & M Glass With Class

Global Age-Friendly Cities Project. This project brought together cities from around the world that were interested in supporting healthy aging by becoming more “age-friendly”. Currently, 10 provinces in Canada have Age-Friendly Committees.

We are currently looking for members to be part of this committee. If you have an interest, please contact Christine at mjliteracy@yahoo.ca

Moose Jaw Board of Police Commissioners Notes

The next Moose Jaw Board of Police Commissioners meeting is Tuesday, Oct. 19

Most complaints against Moose Jaw officers have been resolved, police chief says Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The Public Complaints Commission received more than 20 complaints about Moose Jaw police from residents during the 2020-21 year, but almost all those issues have now been resolved.

The Moose Jaw Police Service (MJPS) was subject to 22 public complaints during the reporting period, according to the independent civilian oversight body that handles allegations against police. As of March 31, the commission determined that eight complaints were unfounded, one was withdrawn, and two did not require investigation. This left 11 complaints to be investigated.

“We know a lot of those have been concluded,” Police Chief Rick Bourassa said during the September meeting of the Board of Police Commissioners. “I won’t speak about those publicly. We’ll allow the

Public Complaints Commission (PCC) to discuss those next year in their report. But … there was no misconduct by police officers.”

The MJPS appreciates the commission’s work and the transparency it provides, he added. The commission’s oversight is a fundamental component of policing.

Commissioner Mary Lee Booth appreciated the information but wondered who the PCC hires to investigate these allegations and whether they have a policing background or are civilians.

The commission comprises five people who have a background in justice, while many people in administration and the investigative positions were once serving officers, Bourassa replied. Since these are complicated investigations, having that analytical ability is critical.

“The Public Complaints Commission has investigators, but they will ask police services to conduct an investigation with their oversight,” he said. “It’s a bit of a hybrid model, but there is always that oversight not only from the director of the commission but the commission itself.”

Meanwhile, the newly created Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) is expected to be up and running by October, Bourassa continued.

The civilian-led SIRT will investigate serious incidents involving police. Acting under the civilian executive director, SIRT members will investigate all matters where a person has suffered a sexual assault, serious injury, or death while in police custody or because of an officer’s actions.

Previously, a police service would be called to help investigate an incident in

another jurisdiction, while the police in that region would not contribute, the police chief said. The province did appoint independent observers to oversee those investigations, and while that model worked well, it lacked transparency and objectivity since police were investigating police.

“There is an objective director here who will be in charge of the Serious Incident Response Team. Regulations (and) policies are currently being developed, (while) the Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police has been informing that process and will continue to inform that process,” Bourassa continued, adding the association anticipates the provincial government will soon pass legislation activating the team.

Police work, societal changes have caused crime rates to fall, chief says Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The crime rate in Moose Jaw declined from 2016 to 2020, which Police Chief Rick Bourassa attributes to police work and societal changes over which officers have no control.

During the September Board of Police Commissioners meeting, Bourassa presented information from Statistics Canada about crime data for 2020 after the federal Crown organization released the data earlier this year.

“2020 was a unique year because COVID-19 struck in March,” Bourassa said, noting across Canada, the crime rate dropped significantly since society was locked down. “Locally, we saw the same trend as across the country … . (However),

it’s very difficult to attribute the (exact) cause to this decline.”

The crime rate in Canada’s Most Notorious City sat at 12,705 incidents in 2016, but at the end of last year had dropped to 9,600 episodes, a decline of 24.4 per cent, the Stats Canada report showed.

Last year Moose Jaw sat roughly in the middle of a six-city pack, with Regina and Saskatoon having a lower crime rate and Weyburn, Estevan and Prince Albert having a higher rate. However, Bourassa pointed out that crime rates don’t reflect the severity of those incidents, whether they were mild or violent.

The Stats Canada data showed that Moose Jaw had a crime severity index (CSI) num-

ber of 104, declining from 116 in 2016.

The highest CSI number the municipality had during those five years was in 2018 with 122.

Moose Jaw had the lowest CSI value compared to the five other Saskatchewan cities compared in the report. Prince Albert had the highest value at 249.

“We were the lowest in the province in 2020. That is good news for us,” the police chief said.

The violent CSI ranking reflects the violent actions people commit against others, Bourassa continued. This number has been declining in Moose Jaw during the past few years and reflects changes in crime that police encounter. While the pandemic

contributed to the decline, the violent CSI value had been dropping before that.

In 2020 Moose Jaw’s violent CSI value was 70, compared to 101 two years before and 88 in 2016.

The Moose Jaw Police service uses this data to identify areas of strategic and operational focus, such as mental health, illicit drugs, child abuse and exploitation, and illegal firearms, he said. As a result, the police agency has increased its ability to address these issues with enhanced deployment of targeted resources.

The organization will continue to evaluate the data from Stats Canada to reveal other areas of further strategic and operational focus, added Bourassa.

These numbers are consistent with last year and there is nothing is an anomaly, Police Chief Rick Bourassa said during the recent Board of Police Commissioners meeting.

Meanwhile, there were 928 crimes committed against property during the first eight months of this year, which is up from 844 last year, or a 10-per-cent increase.

In comparison, there were 83 residential break-ins in 2019.

Last year was when the pandemic struck and forced everyone to stay home and isolate, said Supt. Devon Oleniuk. This meant there were fewer residential break-and-enters since more people were at home. Even data from Statistics Canada shows a similar trend across the country.

“Our trends there, although 90 per cent there looks a little shocking … we are in line (with other jurisdictions), so I don’t think that should jump out or give it anymore respect than the next item,” he added.

Even with that qualifier, the police service is not happy with that increase and strives to achieve zero property-related offences, said Bourassa, adding that residents should be vigilant and watch their possessions.

Moose Jaw Board of Police Commissioners Notes

The next Moose Jaw Board of Police Commissioners meeting is Tuesday, Oct. 19

Crystal meth offences up nearly 300% over last year, data shows Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Police Service has seen a nearly 300-per-cent increase in the number of methamphetamines charges this year over last year, with most cases driven by police activity.

New data shows that police have charged 18 people with meth offences this year compared to five during the same time last year. This represents an increase of 260 per cent.

This rise results from officers conducting investigations and encountering the drug during regular enforcement activities such as making arrests, Police Chief Rick Bourassa said during the Sept. 14 Board of Police Commissioners meeting. Even without arresting people, though, the police agency knows that this drug is prevalent and thriving in Moose Jaw and across Canada.

There were similar numbers of cases related to crystal meth from January to April of this year as there were last year, but once the pandemic restrictions eased, those

Court Report:

numbers shot up in June and July, said Const. Taylor Mickleborough. The lifting of restrictions allowed police to interact with more people and conduct more enforcement, where most charges happened.

From June 1 to Sept. 14, Moose Jaw cops seized 1,100 grams of crystal meth, including 800 grams from one project alone, he continued. Anecdotally, Mickleborough knows that most meth comes into police possession after they arrest suspects and find one or two small baggies on the persons.

Meanwhile, Moose Jaw police recently worked with the Regina Police Service and helped seize 3,311.45 grams of cocaine, 758.63 grams of methamphetamine, and 20,000 unstamped illicit cigarettes. Police also seized multiple scales, cell phones, packaging and other items allegedly used in drug trafficking.

“It’s definitely out there,” added Mickleborough.

While seizing meth is important, prevent-

ening to burn down the Wakamow Detox Centre.

Patterson, 33, from Moose Jaw, struggles with addictions, but has been attempting to address his problems by taking treatment, Legal Aid lawyer Suzanne Jeanson said recently in provincial court during the man’s sentencing hearing.

Patterson pleaded guilty to several charges during his sentencing hearing. These included four counts of theft, five counts of possession of stolen property, five counts of probation breaches, one count of uttering threats, and one count of possessing an illegal substance (crystal meth).

The Crown stayed several other charges.

As part of a joint submission, Patterson was fined $500 for possessing the meth, while he received 45 days in jail for uttering threats. However, since he spent nine days on remand, he was given credit for that time and will serve 32 days behind bars.

Patterson was on a release order to keep the peace and be of good behaviour and was again charged with numerous charges for a summer crime spree but while concerned about the threats to the detox centre, Judge Brian Hendrickson still accepted the joint submission.

Theft, pointing gun at others leads to jail for Bengough man Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Robert Fox will spend the next 15 months in jail after pleading guilty to six charges in Moose Jaw provincial court, including theft and pointing a handgun at people.

Fox, 43, from Bengough, appeared in court recently and pleaded guilty to possession of stolen property (a truck), possession of a stolen licence plate, possession of a weapon (baton), breach of probation, pointing a firearm (handgun) at people, and driving while prohibited.

workshops this fall to help parents talk to their kids about meth and other drugs, while the organization plans to launch another meth-related video in November.

“We’re excited about the fall,” agreed Supt. Devon Oleniuk, the committee’s police liaison, noting the group wants to give parents insight and tools to address this issue and help them uncover any issues in their homes.

Three reasons why people abuse crystal meth is because it’s inexpensive, it creates an intense high that lasts four to 12 hours, and it’s easy to make using simple household ingredients, said Booth. It’s such a powerful drug that people can become addicted immediately after one use.

“At one time … it used to come from Mexico and California — the clandestine labs.

But people are (now) making it in their own homes, garages, basements and even the trunk of their cars,” she added. “(It’s) easily accessible, and you never know what you’re getting,” echoed Oleniuk.

ing its use or production is just as important, Bourassa said. He pointed out that a crystal meth strategy committee is working in Moose Jaw to educate residents about this drug.

Mary Lee Booth, a commissioner on the police board and spokeswoman for the crystal meth committee, explained that the organization’s mandate is prevention and awareness and halting meth usage before it starts.

One step the strategy committee took was to create a video in the spring that featured two people in recovery telling their story; that video launched in June.

Booth expressed surprise at how people from British Columbia and Ontario have contacted her about the video, while the committee has also received numerous inquiries from people with relatives struggling with meth. As well, she was shocked to hear that a grandma — a woman her age — was hooked on this drug.

The strategy committee plans to hold

sentence that included 15 months of jail.

However, Fox was given credit for time on remand, which means he will spend 9.5 months behind bars. He will serve this time concurrently with the 10 months of jail he received after pleading guilty recently to charges from Rosetown.

Judge Brian Hendrickson accepted the joint submission.

The defence lawyer asked Judge Hendrickson to waive the victim surcharge since Fox could not pay it; the judge agreed.

“Those Guys…” donate to Hunger in Moose Jaw

Those Guys Car Club Members present a cheque for $1800.00 to Hunger in Moose Jaw. Photo (l-r): Club members Brian Johnston, Don McDonald, Steve Harris, Darren Neufeld, Kevin Kincaid, Cora Frail from Hunger in Moose Jaw and Jody Potter.

There’s a group of car enthusiasts in Moose Jaw who have used their passion for classic, special interest vehicles and modern muscles cars to fundraise for an annual charity of choice.

For the past few years, Those Guys Car Club held a Show and Shine in Wakamow

Hunger in Moose Jaw lunch program makes return for new school year Local school program expecting to once again feed 300-plus students a day Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Hunger in Moose Jaw file Hunger in Moose Jaw is once again hard at work making sure Moose Jaw’s youngsters have the nutrition they need to make the most of their school day.

The only difference this year is just how fast things have taken off.

The local charity organization is currently preparing 200 free lunches every day as part of their Child Nutrition Program, a number that is a bit surprising to executive director Sharla Sept.

“That’s something new for us, usually it comes in steady but it all came in at once this time,” Sept said on Tuesday afternoon.

“It’s already taking off, so we’re busy, but we’re still getting lunches out to school every day.”

The program is simple at first glance — lunches are made, distributed to the schools

and youngsters get a free and tasty meal. By the time things reach a peak level mid-year, Hunger in Moose Jaw could be sending 300plus meals out the door every day.

But make no mistake, it takes a coordinated effort to pull things off so successfully and so regularly.

“We have a wonderful staff that assembles the lunches every day and we have volunteer drivers who deliver them to the schools on a daily basis,” Sept said.

“We can’t do it without volunteer and staff support, that commitment to the cause makes it go.”

The program is most certainly well appreciated, as feedback from schools and parents alike shows. And for good reason, as proper nutrition has proven to help with the learning environment.

“Not being able to learn on a full stomach is a hard thing for anyone, let alone a child who is needing a bit extra,” Sept said.

To sign up for the program, all that’s needed is a parent or caregiver to contact the school their child attends, and Hunger in Moose Jaw will take care of the rest.

Of course, the whole thing comes with a price. Even with their efforts to keep the

cost to around $1 per meal, things still add up quickly when you’re working on 300 lunches, 200 days of the year.

“And that’s why we’re so appreciative for the ‘I Bought A Lunch’ campaign we have every October,” Sept said, referring to their main annual fundraiser. The aim this year will be to raise $50,000 in 50 days, with all proceeds going back into the CNP. All in all, Hunger in Moose Jaw remains appreciative of any support they receive, especially as life slowly returns to normal

during the ongoing pandemic.

“We had to learn and adapt to different things at one point, but we’re back into the swing of things now,” Sept said. “The community has really come up behind us and supported us as usual. We had a lot of support even with how things were going and we’re hoping to see that continue.”

Varieties of squash add enjoyment to family meals

By Joyce Walter - Moose Jaw Express

Squash in various forms is readily available in backyard gardens, farmers’ markets and grocery store produce counters.

Winter squash, summer squash, vegetable marrow, butternut squash — all are popular forms to be used in soups, casseroles, and even desserts.

This week’s recipes feature a soup and a stuffed marrow, both recipes coming from family members.

••• Butternut Squash Soup 2 cups unsalted vegetable broth 2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced 1 carrot, peeled and diced 1 apple, cored and diced 1 medium (3 lbs.) uncooked squash, peeled, seeded and diced 1 small white onion, peeled and diced 1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper (more to taste) 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk 1-2 chai tea bags, optional, for taste

In a slow cooker, place garlic, carrot, apple, squash, onion and pepper. Nestle the tea bags into the mixture and cover all with the vegetable stock.

Cook 6-8 hours on low until squash is tender and mashes easily with a fork. Remove and discard tea bags.

Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer soup in batches to a traditional blender, place in large pot until all is blended. Stir in milk until combined. Season with more pepper.

Pour into individual bowls and garnish with ground cinnamon. Soup may be frozen.

••• Stuffed Vegetable Marrow 1 large vegetable marrow 1 lb. lean ground beef 1 cup minute rice, cooked 1 small onion, diced 1/2 green pepper, diced into small pieces salt and pepper and other seasonings to taste 1/4 cup or more tomato paste

Peel vegetable marrow, slice in half lengthwise and remove seeds.

In a large frying pan cook ground beef, with onion, green pepper and seasonings until meat and vegetables are cooked. Add salt and pepper and other seasonings. Drain off any fat. Add cooked rice and mix. Add enough tomato paste to make meat moist but not runny.

Spoon meat mixture into halves of marrow then place back together and carefully wrap in greased foil. Place in a casserole dish with just a bit of water in the bottom. Roast at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until marrow is soft and meat mixture bubbles.

Open foil and sprinkle with cheddar or parmesan cheese. Slice and serve with salad and potatoes.

Coun. Crystal Froese announces that she is running to be mayor Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Coun. Crystal Froese announces that she is running to be the next mayor of Moose Jaw, during an event on Sept. 14 at Lions Creek. Photo by Jason G. Antonio Encouraging economic development and addressing rising crime and drug use are some issues Coun. Crystal Froese would attempt to address if she is elected mayor of Moose Jaw. Froese announced on Sept. 14 that she wants to be the next leader of Canada’s Most Notorious City. Nearly 20 people — friends, family, and a former mayor — were on hand to hear the communications and marketing professional discuss why she would be the best fit for mayor.

“Economic development is key to a stronger city. It encompasses many things to improve the well-being and

quality of life for our community,” she said, noting shovel-ready projects are important to acquire provincial and federal funding. “… my key focus is to create more jobs.

We need to be innovative to be competitive.”

Some ways city council is being innovative is through the pursuit of geothermal technology and methane capture at the landfill, expanding the runway at the municipal airport, building relationships to attract agriculture-focused businesses, and supporting the farming sector.

Froese would also pursue economic activities that fit the character of Moose Jaw, including working closely with partners in the area RMs and the provincial government.

“We have to continue to eliminate red tape at the business level so we help build our big and small businesses and help them succeed,” she said. “We must have a city that works for us and on behalf of us.”

Residents and business owners reached out to Froese during the pandemic to express their concerns about the community’s future. She brought some of those concerns to city council and helped give taxpayers breaks to ease the financial pressure.

Froese has also heard from residents who are concerned about the increase in crime and how property is going missing. She claimed that Moose Jaw’s emergency services are underfunded and understaffed. She pointed to how firefighters are picking up needles while police are handling more drug issues and mental health challenges.

In particular, the Moose Jaw Police Service is so underfunded that council begged the province for funding to create the Police and Crisis Team (PACT) unit to address mental health issues, she remarked. Therefore, she would

Prairie South School Division

ask the province to better fund the police and have community groups help solve social issues.

“Leadership is an action, not a position,” she said, noting she would bring together a task force — composed of the crystal meth committee, business and property owners, and protective services — to address social issues such as drug addiction and identify resources and solutions.

As someone who grew up in Moose Jaw, Froese didn’t ever recall seeing so much crime as she is now. She believes everyone should grow up in a safe neighbourhood.

“I’m a person of action. My door is always open,” Froese added. “… Together, we can make this city stronger.”

Media questions During a news scrum afterward, the media asked Froese whether she would push for more council business to be discussed in public instead of in-camera — or behind closed doors.

In response, she explained that provincial legislation governs what council can or cannot discuss in public. Before going in-camera, council always quotes the section of the legislation and how it pertains to a topic.

“So, we never go in-camera unless we have to. There would be no reason to,” she added.

Froese does not plan to resign to run for mayor, pointing to The Cities Act and how a clause says councillors don’t have to quit if they run. This ensures a byelection does not need to be called if someone loses.

“So, I’m following The Cities Act, and I’m so grateful to have this opportunity to run for the mayor of our city,” she added.

The next PSSD board meeting is Tuesday, Oct. 5.

Central students without a gym as workers remove asbestos Students at Central Collegiate have not been able to use their gym since school began in September because contractors have been removing asbestos from the building.

Prairie South School Division issued a tender worth $1,095.041 to C&S Builders in late June to perform asbestos abatement. That work began right after school finished and is expected to finish by the start of October.

Trustees with Prairie South discussed the project — and the size of the tender — during their recent board meeting.

The board office has heard from some parents about this project and their concerns about the gym being out of commission, said Ron Purdy, superintendent of business.

He acknowledged that this situation is “horrible timing for students,” considering they have lost their gym during the pandemic.

Trustee Shawn Davidson pointed out that the tender was large and wondered if it exceeded the project budget.

Purdy replied that the cost was above what the division received in provincial funding. Furthermore, the $1 million is the value of the contract, while the architectural consultant’s work pushed the amount over.

“That exceeds the budget. When that happens, it needs to come to us for approval,” Davidson stated. “That did not happen here.”

Davidson pointed to a paragraph in Board Policy 2 that governs spending, reiterating that division employees

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express must bring projects forward for approval if the tender is overbudget.

“When a tender that big comes across my desk, I go, ‘Oooh!’” he said. “We should have been talking about that.”

Several projects in the past came in over budget, and the board had to determine whether to proceed or re-tender, Davidson added. Those decisions helped save hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The board did not approve this project in the budget since the provincial government provided $1 million in emergent funding, which allowed administration to pursue the initiative, said Purdy.

“Again, that’s splitting hairs … . (It) still falls under the same fiscal accountability umbrella to me,” replied Davidson.

This project was approved at the end of June — weeks after the board meeting — because there was an urgency to move quickly on this, said education director Ryan Boughen.

Based on that same board policy, division administration should have called a meeting — whether in person or online — so trustees could determine how to proceed, said trustee Crystal Froese. Furthermore, the contract for the architect should have been tendered separately.

“I’m not quite sure how the architect quite fits into that

process,” she added, “or what line item that falls in under budget … . We need to separate the two.”

Other projects Division administration awarded 13 contracts for $3.32 million from May 27 to Aug. 31, such as: · Don’s Plumbing and Heating won a tender to replace ducts at Bengough School for $177,777.96 · CDW won a quote to install interactive TVs at Prince Arthur School for $17,485 · All ‘n’ All Construction Inc. won a tender to replace a concrete slab at Glentworth School for $135,958 · C&S Builders won the tender to replace the floor in the A.E. Peacock Collegiate electrical room for $37,308 · Direct Energy won a five-year contract to provide natural gas to Prairie South for $1.3 million · McColman and Sons Demolition won a tender to perform asbestos abatement at Lindale School for $294,000 · Linde Canada won the contract to provide welders at Peacock for $29,937 Division administration also spent $117,856 to purchase two used wheelchair buses from Warner Industries. This project was not tendered out since the vehicles were needed quickly, said Purdy.

TRADING THOUGHTS

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

The path to herd immunity from Covid 19 virus is full of twists, bumps and potholes.

by Ron Walter The ever changThe views and opinions ex- ing health regpressed in this article are those ulations are a of the author, and do not necfrustrating twist essarily reflect the position of for most people this publication. who are used to hard and fast unchanging rules, not these frequent changes.

Science changes as scientists learn more from experience and study about unknowns like the corona virus.

Some thoughts on the issues involved with COVID - 19 vaccination Herd immunity — the point at which enough people are vaccinated to turn the pandemic into a minor issue – will be achieved when 90 per cent of the population is vaccinated.

Canada seems to be stuck in a pothole with around 70 per cent vaccinated while most of the globe’s seven billion people have little or no vaccine available.

Herd immunity can’t be achieved until all of the globe has the jab. At this rate the virus will remain a major concern for years.

Unfortunately COVID - 19 isn’t a stationary virus. It keeps mutating into more severe and faster spreading varieties.

The race is on to achieve herd immunity before one of the mutations is so powerful

that vaccines have no effect. So far we’ve been lucky enough to have vaccines that work on the new variants.

We still have a large part of the Canadian population who won’t take the vaccine.

Some are afraid of needles; some don’t trust the safety of the science; some are just opposed to vaccines; some don’t believe the virus is a real threat; some see mass vaccination mandates as a threat to their freedoms.

Many of these anti-vaxxers are religious, believing God will take care of them.

There is a passage in Romans in the Bible which is interpreted as God helps those who help themselves. These religious folks should reconsider.

Some of these folks believe, perhaps rightly so, that abortion equates to murder. Yet they seem to think it’s fine to go about spewing deadly COVID virus.

The best test of whether to take the vaccine is to ask: What would Jesus do if he were on earth today?

Would he take the vaccine to protect himself and his community from the virus? Or would he rant and rave about loss of freedom and allow himself and his followers to spread this deadly virus?

Personally, I think he would take the vaccine and worry about any possible infringement of freedom later.

Marc Legare

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 views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the position of this publication.

There are a great deal of one-liner statements we have adopted without reflection on their validity. These statements are so ingrained in our psyche that masses of people are offended when you call them into question. One such blanketly accepted punch line on the do-not-dispute list is “safety first.”

That superlative is plastered on posters, defended loudly by politicians of every

The High Cost Of Safety stripe, and supported by virtually every group, organization, and government. At least by those who want to survive in our world of viciously attacking public opinion courts.

Are we over protecting ourselves during simple day-to-day living? The fact is, safety is not everything there is in life and other considerations have at least some validity. More succinctly, living a full life carries with it a certain amount of risk.

The real price for too much safety is the cost of restricting joys, learning opportunities, and life experiences to the point where activities become sanitized beyond reason. So much so, they become droll and often times not worth doing because of excessive safety restrictions.

There are countless people of advanced age who reminisce of their youth with great fondness and smile at the freedoms they enjoyed. Most of them smirk with pleasure when remembering mom shouting, “get outside and play and don’t come back till supper.” One cannot help but think they are smiling at the mischief opportunities they had. Today, however, that statement would be met with allegations of child abuse due to lack of supervision.

More telling, is how the elderly lament for the modern child who is excessively wrapped, cautioned, controlled, and guided all in the name of protection. Few, if any, old-timers would agree that the modern child lives a better or healthier life than they did. On the contrary, they feel sorry for them.

Our children are so protected that when suggesting an activity for them it must first pass a minefield of well-meaning but overly extensive safety tests, checks, and draconian safeguards. Sadly, that safety mindset considers only the risks and puts little to no emphasis on the quality of experiences and educational value of the odd knee scrape.

No one is suggesting that we allow our children to go racing off to meet their doom and be allowed to do any activity their irresponsible little minds dream up.

However, like all aspects of a well lived life, a middle-ground approach is best. Is not a balanced view of risk vs. reward at least worthy of consideration? In other words, “safe living” with an equal emphasis on the “living” part. Shouldn’t our children be allowed to grow up being children? Besides, what are we teaching

our offspring by encouraging them to be scared of everything?

It is not only the young who suffer from the overbaked “safety” mindset we have adopted. So too, do the elderly. In speaking to several nursing home ‘inmates’ during the pandemic, many said they did not want to live in captivity and would rather have chanced getting sick than exist in a world without seeing their families. Is that not a wise willingness to accept some risk for living well? Yet our society imposed the opposite and placed no value whatsoever on quality of life. Somewhere along the way we have disregarded the inherent belief that living well is as important, or even more important, than being safe at every turn. Our denying the elderly a visit from their grandchildren is a glaring example of this.

There is no way of proving where the line between safety and accepting a little exposure should be drawn. However, a good argument can be made that we have overdone it with “safety first” and we have moved to a “safety only” ideology.

A line that sums it up was spoken by William Shedd, “A ship is safe in harbor, but that is not what ships are for.”

Sukanen threshing bee thrives despite wet and windy weather

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Threshing Some wet weather and wind notwithstanding, the turnout at the Sukanen Ship Museum and Pioneer Village Threshing Bee was excellent, says President Gord Ross.

“It was excellent, excellent. From the inquiries and comments we had, we anticipated we’d have a lot of people if the weather co-operated.”

More than 600 people paid to see the event Saturday with more than 1,200 on the Sunday. “That doesn’t include the kids.” Children under six got in free The museum did lose a few campers due to the rain. Rain drizzled much of the day Saturday with a few minutes that soaked a lot of people.

Janice and Chris Makey drove in the rain from Neilberg, 340 kms north of Moose Jaw for the event They were happy they did.

“You have a great place here,” she said.

“You couldn’t find most of this stuff any more.”

Describing themselves as “museum freaks” she compared the Sukanen Ship Museum favourably with the provincially funded Manitoba Agricultural Museum at Austin.

The threshing event brought back memories for guests.

Mary Mckenzie recalled threshing on the farm when she was a girl. “I remember we made all those sandwiches and we girls got the left overs.

Kids’ train “I don’t remember how we got the thresher.”

“Every district had a thresher and they hired out,” said Orville Leugner.

Ron Walter recalled threshing when he was a little boy. “All the crew came to the house to eat and they ate bowls and bowls

of food and pie.”

His mother took hot coffee out to the field in the afternoon. He got to drink some of the left over coffee.

By the barn, Jennifer Mang of Pangman showed her 24 years experience shoeing horses.

The farrier had about 20 observers at one point. She heats the shoes before putting them on the hoof. “The old timers will tell you that heating is the only way to get a Farrier at work good fit.”

Blacksmiths Aird Romisch and Frank Lloyd performed with the hot coals and the anvil.

A few demonstrations on Saturday were cancelled because of the wet soil and moist crop but the threshing proceeded.

The threshing crew took a while to start, working to get the belts dried and running tight just as happened on fall mornings when the dew required precautions to dry the belt.

Large crowds viewed the two threshing machines, especially with the steam-driv-

en Case tractor operated by the Bruce family.

Ross said the museum is relived to get some money in the bank after having to cancel right events since the pandemic started.

The museum had to cancel two collectible shows, two car shows, two family days, one haunted museum and one threshing bee.

“We have some projects we want to work on so it’s nice to have some money and we have some willing workers.”

One project being considered is a second collectibles show next summer on the museum grounds.

Working John Deere models displayed at threshing bee

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Now retired in Swift Current, Danny Hawken used to farm in the Rowletta district, northwest of Moose Jaw. Being an innovator like so many Saskatchewan farmers, Hawken used his spare time restoring old cars and such.

Some of his work was on display at the Sukanen Threshing Bee. A mechanic, self-taught welder and selftaught machinist, he re-created a John Deere D tractor and a hammer mill to chop feed on one-quarter scale.

Then he built a John Deere “clipper” combine, one of the first combine threshing machines to come out.

The scale models, built from parts he made, operate like the real machines. “I’ve put grain through the combine. It’s slow

but it works.”

“It took me about five years after supper” to build them.

His creations also include a million dollar 9570 RT John Deere tractor and another similar model.

One of his restored cars, a 1925 Hudson, was in the Sukanen Museum car parade. “I restored it to honour my son Kelly.”

His grandson Tyler now has the car.

Vanier grad gets scholarship for community work and academic record Jason G. Antonio- Moose Jaw Express

Vanier Collegiate graduate Gracie Kiefer is the recipient of this year’s Dubinsky Family Scholarship.

Kiefer graduated in June and was accepted at the University of Saskatchewan into commerce for this fall.

Besides outstanding academics, Kiefer was involved in several extracurricular activities and organizations as a volunteer, member, or organizer, explained Amanda Olson, superintendent of learning with the Prairie South Bursary Fund.

While at Vanier, Kiefer was a member of almost every music and drama opportunity available through the school and in the community, including the Moose Jaw Music Festival, Rotary Choral Festival, Moose Jaw Band and Choral Festival, Jazz Band, Chamber Choir, Back to Bethlehem, One Acts, and more.

Kiefer also took advantage of leadership opportunities at the school, formally as a group member and informally through her volunteerism. She was an active member

of the SRC, yearbook, SADD, outreach, and the Swag Bag Co. As a member of the Swag Bag Co., Kiefer helped create 130 swag bags filled with hygiene essentials such as soap, toothbrushes, and deodorant.

These bags were given to a local barber, who then delivered them to those in need.

She was also involved in school athletics as a member of the curling program and track and field team.

Furthermore, Kiefer keeps busy with many endeavours. Her gift of music led her to obtain several formal accomplishments in piano training and music theory, said Olson. Moreover, her leadership skills allowed her to offer support through babysitting and gardening for community members.

She has also demonstrated a love of learning and a strong level of commitment that will see her be successful in her post-secondary pursuits and life beyond, Olson added.

During its Sept. 13 regular meeting, city

council unanimously received and filed the report, while Acting Mayor Dawn Luhning presented the scholarship to Kiefer at the start of the meeting.

In 1982, the City of Moose Jaw entered into a trust agreement with Boris Dubinsky and Administrative Consultants Limited. The purpose was to establish an endowment that the municipality would hold, with interest from the main endowment awarded annually as part of a scholarship to a Moose Jaw high school student pursuing university or college.

The scholarship amount is supposed to be equivalent to the amount of income the trust fund earned in the preceding 12-month period. The fund’s trustee is not allowed to use the principle — or any portion thereof — for any purpose other than earning income for scholarship awards.

The directors of education from Prairie South and Holy Trinity Catholic school divisions determine which nominated graduate should receive the scholarship.

Mask mandate returning for all city-owned venues and transit Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Residents will soon have to wear masks again in all municipal buildings and on transit as COVID-19 case numbers increase, although athletes and fitness buffs will be exempt when participating in activities.

After hearing from three doctors about current pandemic data in Saskatchewan, city council voted 5-1 during its Sept. 13 regular meeting to have city hall implement a mask mandate policy so that non-medical face masks be required to access all cityowned venues and ride buses. However, anyone competing on a team — hockey, for example — or engaging in physical activity will be exempt while pursuing those activities.

Council also directed city administration to use best practices from other cities to help implement a new policy.

Coun. Kim Robinson was opposed.

The mask mandate will likely go into effect Monday, Sept. 20.

Why mask the healthy?

These health measures — including masking — are going in the wrong direction, especially when one looks at the statistics on the Government of Saskatchewan COVID-19 dashboard, Robinson said. For example, there are four people in hospital out of 36 total cases in the region. Furthermore, the area has the second-lowest rate in the province after the Far North.

Robinson questioned whose statistics he should believe — the doctors’ or the provincial dashboard. He pointed out that the “goalposts” often change with pandemic data, which presents conflicting information.

“I don’t see anything credible that says masking a healthy person is helping anybody. I myself am vaccinated … ,” he added. “But to mandate it, then I’m not going to support this at all.”

No vax passports Coun. Heather Eby supported masks but didn’t think they would be enough. Meanwhile, she was not prepared to support any “vaccine passport” even though Dr. Brandon Thorpe pleaded with — and lightly threatened —council to implement such documents at Mosaic Place for hockey games.

Thorpe insinuated during his presenta-

tion that Moose Jaw physicians would not cover Warriors’ hockey games if masks and vaccination orders were not in place, which meant the team would not be able to play.

“This is not a threat; it’s reality,” he said.

Thorpe added that council should start with masks and then move to vaccination passports. He didn’t want Moose Jaw to be an outlier since every major hockey team in Canada supposedly had passports in place.

There are too many moving parts to implement such a system at Mosaic Place, Eby concluded. She also thought the ticket-takers weren’t paid enough to handle that stress.

Lack of direction disappointing Acting Mayor Dawn Luhning expressed her frustration with the lack of direction from the provincial government in dealing with the so-called fourth wave. During the regular big city mayors’ caucus teleconferences, she has raised concerns, pointing out that health is a provincial responsibility.

She promised to continue raising this issue and to push the minister of health to act. She also believed that wearing masks was proper until council received direction from the province.

“I have friends in the medical community and … one has been working overtime consistently 24/7 because they’re needed,” she added, “and I guess that means following the lead of Saskatoon, Regina and Prince Albert … (to) make sure we keep our citizens safe.”

Achieving herd immunity Municipalities have relied on the provincial government for direction since the pandemic began, Coun. Crystal Froese said. She knows that health-care providers are stressed, so she believes the province needs to make the decisions.

Froese wondered what percentage of Saskatchewan residents needed to be fully vaccinated before life returned “to some normalcy.” In response, Dr. David Torr said by video that 85 per cent of the population needs to be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity, especially with the delta variant spreading.

There are still more than 300,000 peo-

ple who haven’t been vaccinated, which means they are supposedly vulnerable and “could overwhelm our (health) system,” he continued. That is why the system must use different methods to protect residents since some people won’t get immunized or can’t, such as children.

“Will we achieve that 85-per-cent-plus (rate)? It’s really questionable with the

way things are moving now,” Torr added.

“There is a lot of COVID fatigue, but closing our eyes won’t take it away.”

Council should listen to what these doctors have to say, Froese added, while it should also take seriously the two letters council received from 23 community doctors — it was also sent to the two MLAs — and a senior medical health official.

City Hall Council Notes The next regular city council meeting is Monday, Sept. 27.

City staff get Sept. 30 off in honour of National Truth and Reconciliation Day Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

City employees will be given the day off on Thursday, Sept. 30, to recognize National Truth and Reconciliation Day, which city hall estimates will cost over $83,000 in lost productivity.

During the Sept. 13 regular meeting, city council unanimously voted to encourage residents and organizations to recognize that day to honour the survivors of residential schools, their families, and affected communities while ensuring those former institutions remain an important aspect of the reconciliation process.

Furthermore, council agreed to support the Wakamow Aboriginal Community Association’s (WACA) activities on that day and seek to meet with the Aboriginal community about how the City of Moose Jaw can support reconciliation.

A new statutory holiday In June, royal assent was given to Bill C-5, which recognized Sept. 30 as the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and made

it the newest federal statutory holiday, a council report explained. This new holiday applies to the federally regulated public and private sectors, including employers subject to the Canada Labour Code.

“The federal government has stated that this day provides an opportunity for each public service to recognize and commemorate the legacy of residential schools,” city manager Jim Puffalt said. “This may present itself as a day of quiet reflection or participation in a community event.”

Objective No. 7 in the City of Moose Jaw’s strategic plan lists people and culture as a topic, including meeting with elders and Aboriginal Peoples to create a relationship and crafting a municipal cultural action plan.

City administration has spoken with WACA and has found a free venue for the organization’s activities that day, Puffalt continued. City hall has also invited WACA members and chiefs to meet near

or on Sept. 30 to help guide and advise city council and administration about how the municipality can advance “truth and reconciliation.”

Under the provisions of different collective bargaining agreements, Sept. 30 would be a stat holiday for the police association, the board of police commissioners (CUPE), and the firefighters association.

However, staff with CUPE Local 9, UNIFOR Local 101R and out-of-scope members would not be eligible for this day if the city does not declare it a stat holiday.

“At times, the importance of statutory holidays is lost, so it’s important that we bring this back every year to refresh people’s minds,” said Puffalt. “In view of what other cities are doing, a majority are moving toward this … (so) it is important for us to help the process along.”

City administration estimates that giving municipal employees the day off as a stat holiday would cost $83,323 in lost produc-

tivity, he added.

Council discussion “I believe this is an important move. It is a very small step in recognizing the nightmare that is residential schools for our Aboriginal community,” said Acting Mayor Dawn Luhning. “It is a small step in the right direction to do for our citizens.”

Some residents might think that truth and reconciliation don’t apply to Moose Jaw because there are no reserves nearby and no residential schools were near here, but this is still traditional First Nations territory, said Coun. Crystal Froese. That’s why it’s important to reach out to area chiefs to learn from them and hear their stories.

This is part of the “truth” aspect, which will help move the process toward reconciliation.

Coun. Doug Blanc agreed, adding the cost to the city is minimal, while he was glad city administration would bring this back to council every year.

Winmar attains naming rights to waterslide at Sportsplex pool Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Residents who enjoy the indoor pool will soon see more advertising there from Winmar Moose Jaw after the company won a multi-year contract for naming rights to the pool’s waterslide.

City council unanimously approved the agreement during its Sept. 13 regular meeting. Specifically, council agreed to give 101167110 Saskatchewan Ltd. a three-year contract for naming rights to the waterslide at the Kinsmen Sportsplex Pool commencing Sept. 15 and ending Sept. 14, 2024.

Furthermore, Winmar agreed to purchase advertising signs for the Phyllis Dewar Outdoor Pool and city dog parks as part

of a three-year agreement worth $11,100, or $3,700 per year.

The acting mayor and acting city clerk will execute the agreement on behalf of the municipality.

The municipality has an agreement with EMJ Marketing to help source advertising and sponsorship opportunities at the Yara Centre, Kinsmen Sportsplex Pool, city parks, and city programs, explained Derek Blais, director of parks and recreation. EMJ finalized the agreement with Winmar for the naming rights to the waterslide and the advertising signs at the outdoor pool and dog parks.

Specifically, Winmar Moose Jaw can ad-

vertise on and around the slide, display two signs on the chain-link fence at the outdoor pool, and hang one sign on each dog park fence. Winmar will be responsible to maintain, repair and install the signs, while upon the agreement’s expiration, the business will have first right of renewal to the contract.

According to the contract, either party may give termination notice for any reason by providing 90 days’ written notice.

City hall can also terminate the agreement if Winmar Moose Jaw “willfully breaks or neglects to observe or perform any of the terms of the agreement,” if the company fails to make payments within 30 days of

the due date, or if creditors seize the company or if the company goes bankrupt.

Besides the $11,100 coming into city coffers, EMJ Marketing will receive $740 annually in sales commission as per the agreement with the city, for a total of $2,220. This means the city will receive $8,880 in net revenue.

City hall will co-ordinate a ceremony with Winmar to announce the new name of the waterslide, an event that will include Winmar mascot “Willy Winmar,” Blais added.

hold this event on Friday, Oct. 1 before its home opener at Mosaic Place. The initiative — featuring horseshoes, a band, alcohol, and food — will be held on a vacant lot at 69 River Street West across from the rink from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Crushed Can Sports Bar and Nightclub will provide the food and beverage servers to assist, while the business will also set the price for the alcohol.

The owner of the parking lot has given the Warriors permission to host the event there, while the event organizers already have insurance coverage in place.

The tournament begins with lunch and registration, followed by horseshoe games throughout the afternoon until the championship round brings the tournament to a close around 4 p.m.

Event organizers expect to draw 75 attendees to the gathering.

During the Sept. 13 regular council meeting, city council unanimously approved the Moose Jaw Warriors’ special occasion permit application to host the fundraising event. This approval, though, is subject to the Warriors complying with the conditions and regulations outlined in the City of Moose Jaw alcohol use events policy.

“This is an exciting event in conjunction with the Warriors’ home opener, which we’ve been waiting for, for a long time,”

city manager Jim Puffalt said.

Coun. Heather Eby agreed, saying hockey fans are looking forward to the team having an “awesome season” and great things happening during the 2021-22 year. She also thought this social gathering was a great kickoff event.

The Warriors plan to set up the horseshoe pits and seating area a few days before the event occurs, while the portable beverage bar and washrooms will be delivered the morning of the event, Hayley Hart-Rushinko, manager of special events for the team, explained in a letter to council.

The WHL team has hired a security guard to watch the entrance — he will remain for the full five hours — as an extra safety measure to protect attendees and the public, she continued. The event is open to the public to view the tournament, but anyone who wants to purchase alcohol must provide ID first. A six-foot chain-link fence will surround the area and no alcohol will be allowed to leave the premises.

As per municipal policy, the Warriors have $5 million in general liability insurance that covers each element of the event.

“We’re excited to welcome our team back to Mosaic Place and have our fans come together to celebrate the greatest game in the country,” added Hart-Rushinko.

Appeals board lets homeowners build new deck that contravenes bylaw Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Two homeowners can remove a deteriorating veranda from their home and install a new backyard deck after the Development Appeals Board approved their request to undertake the work.

The board met on Aug. 17 and heard from Jared and Alyssa Robinson of 65 Oxford Street West, who asked for a variance from the City of Moose Jaw’s zoning bylaw to remove an existing veranda and construct a rear yard deck and a side-yard addition, a board report explained.

As a result, the rear yard setback would be 5.57 metres (18.3 feet), contrary to the 7.5 metres (24.6 feet) in the bylaw, while the side-yard setback would be 0.67 metres (2.2 feet), contrary to the 1.2 metres (3.9 feet) laid out in the zoning bylaw.

The property measures roughly 44 feet by 100 feet and is zoned R3 high-density residential district. The size of the proposed deck and addition would measure roughly 250 square feet, while the height of the proposed deck would be four feet.

The Robinsons argued that tearing down the veranda and constructing a new deck onto their master bedroom would add needed space while removing the problem of water damage to the home that the veranda causes, the report said. They also argued that they were only asking for five extra feet, while none of their neighbours had complained about these proposed changes.

After hearing from the Robinsons and city officials, the board approved the homeowners’ request for three rea-

sons: · It would not be a special privilege since the board would grant similar variances to other parties in the same circumstance · Granting the appeal would not be contrary to the purpose and intent of the bylaw, nor would it amount to a relaxation of the bylaw that would affect the health, safety or general welfare of the neighbourhood · It would not injuriously affect neighbouring properties, particularly since no neighbours objected to the project During the Sept. 13 regular council meeting, city council unanimously approved a motion to receive and file the report from the board.

The Church Cafe and Gallery a labour of love for Marcil family Ongoing project in Courval to feature completely self-sustainable facility while providing unique offerings to patrons Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

said. “Even though it’ll be different, it’ll still be there.”

Work began on the project shortly after the Marcils purchased the church and grounds in 2017. After a massive clean-up effort, the focus turned toward The Church and Cafe’s current and ongoing state.

The interior of the church has been largely gutted, with wood and other supplies being repurposed for construction elsewhere on the site. When completed, the front of the building will feature a small cafe as well as an area for local artists to sell their works, a mini-museum and space for artists to ply their trade, while the rear of the building will act as the family’s living quarters.

As of 2021, the church’s entire basement has been repaired and braced and now includes a water reclamation and storage system that will be part of the self-sufficiency plan for the entire property.

When it comes to the grounds themselves, work is well underway on Zoe’s Garden -- a meditative space next to the church’s Grotto that will feature a quarter-acre dedicated to their cousin and niece Zoe and all babies lost too soon.

Directly adjacent to the Garden will be a massive food forest that will eventually include a wide, wide variety of tree- and bush-borne fruits and vegetables. The rear of the property will include another large vegetable garden, a fish-stocked pond and

Paul and Evelyn Marcil are joined by daughter Allison and grandchildren Logan and Olivia outside of the former St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, the centrepiece of The Church Cafe and Gallery.

There might still be a lot of work to do in the coming weeks, months and years, but Paul Marcil can already see the finished project at The Church Cafe and Gallery.

Sure, what will eventually be a grove of cherry trees in Zoe’s Garden is still little more than saplings supported by buckets. The self-sufficient Food Forest is mostly an open field. And the church itself looks exactly like a nearly 100-year-old building in the midst of a complete renovation.

But for Paul, wife Evelyn, daughter Allison and grandchildren Logan and Olivia, the vision is as bright as can be.

The ongoing family project is located in Courval -- a small community located a little under an hour west of Moose Jaw on Highway 363 -- and centres around the former St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church and its surrounding grounds.

“When it started, it was a lifestyle project for us and it was (Allison’s) idea to expand it into what it is today,” said Paul during a recent visit to the ongoing build. “When we first picked up the project, it was going to be a place for us to come back to our hometown, a place that would be our Nirvana, so to speak.

“We set up our campers for a weekend destination and since then it’s grown into a project that’s going to be a food farm, a fruit farm and a way of life, a place for grandkids and kids to come to… someplace that will be bigger than most of us.”

The hangers where the altar boys vestments were hung -- including those belonging to Paul back in the day.

a large hill that will eventually be covered in wildflowers and can be used to observe the entire surrounding area.

It’s going to be something to behold.

“It’s going to be pretty awesome,” Allison said. “We’re basically creating an entire ecosystem not only from the soil up but the human ecosystem that comes with it.

With the different creative people and different community members who are connected historically to the project, it all becomes one huge ecosystem around it.

“You see that already, with all the things that people have donated or want to repatriate back to the Courval area. So we’re kind of building that through the future and the history, it’s kind of cool.”

Paul expanded on the impressive amount of help they’ve already had from folks in the area. When they were looking for water storage, a huge tank was donated shortly after. When a fence needed to be installed around the property, more help came down the line. And from museum-worthy items to literal bathroom fixtures, donations for the church itself come in on a regular basis.

“What’s really nice is that the community has really stepped up and wanted to be a part of it,” Paul said. “People can’t wait for it to get started. The fact we’re going to be having food that’s all fresh from on site, everybody is jumping on board with that and can’t wait for it to happen, It’ll be somewhere else for people to visit and enjoy themselves.”

The Church Cafe and Gallery Grotto, where Paul and Edith Marcil were married back in 1974.

The Beginnings The church itself carries deep meaning for the Marcil family Paul served as an altar boy in St. Joseph’s heyday, when dozens upon dozens of folks from all over the area would travel in for mass. He and Evelyn were married in the church’s Grotto in 1974 and it was rarely far from their minds in the ensuing years.

“There are a lot of things in the church that are going to be maintained, so the local people when they come in and want to see it, they’ll still have memories of it,” Paul

The interior of the church continues to get closer to the final product, day by day.

The Church and Cafe In addition to offering standard cafe fare once things are up and running, the Gallery portion of the project will feature work from a range of amateur and professional artists with a specific in-province focus.

“Inside we’ll have all different makers, many of which we have already started working with,” Allison said. “Everything from painting to pottery, the business model is 100 per cent Saskatchewan-made, nothing will be brought in from outside.”

And the artists themselves will come from all sorts of backgrounds.

“Things like stay-at-home moms with micro-economies and trying to build on them, then more professional artists who want to partner on a commission basis,” Allison said. “Micro-economies kept society in Saskatchewan running for the first 100 years and we tend to not think about that as much. You used to sell your eggs and butter, now you sell jewelry and crafts. So we’ll have that, and everything will be a Saskatchewan vibe, a prairie feel.”

Self-Sustaining in Every Aspect Perhaps the most impressive part of the whole project is their end game -- once the different gardens and groves have reached maturity, the Marcils expect to have enough food to easily support their family and their business.

The plan is to eventually reach the point they’ll be able to donate a decent percentage of their harvest from Zoe’s Garden and Food Forest to those in need, in addition to the entirety of their Sharing and Caring Garden.

That self-sustainability has been a major focus from day one, and carries over into almost every aspect of the build.

“Eventually, the land itself will become its own ecosystem,” Allison said. “There’s a lot of upfront work, but by year three the human input should be substantially less, by year five the human input should be just harvesting and by year 10 there should be no human input at all.

“Eventually, it would be nice to be able to retire and have this as your home, then this should be a situation where you maybe have one employee but you won’t have to constantly be thinking about what has to happen next. So eventually the insanity level of two full-time jobs will go away and it’ll become its own thing.”

The self-sufficiency even carries over into aforementioned repurposing of items onsite -- if something can be reused, like the lumber from the church’s interior, the altars that were once full of parishioners and even the mountain of soil removed to create their pond, it will be put to good use.

“We throw nothing away,” Paul said matter-of-factly. “A bent screw isn’t a bent screw, it’ll be used somewhere else. All the wood from inside, the altars from the church, they’re all going to be reused in our own living quarters, as parts of displays, everything that’s in there we’ll have a home for it and nothing will be thrown out.”

A cairn dedicated to the first settlers in the Courval area sits outside of the church.

a neighbour nearby who has built an entire museum, another who has a blacksmith shop who is willing to do blacksmith tours, so it can all just build and build until it becomes something special.”

The basement of the Church Cafe and Gallery has been completely remodeled and repaired and now hosts the building’s water reclamation and storage tanks.

A Tourist Destination When all is said and done, the hope is that the plethora of attractions in the Old Wives Lake area will help draw folks in to check out what The Church Gallery and Cafe is all about.

To that point, they’ve already had a host of interested visitors over the last year and a half, and the Marcils are happy to see them -- to the point that Allison has already become an impressive tour guide despite things being in the earliest of stages.

“Over the last year, we had so much traffic here during COVID,” she said. “People were driving by constantly and stopping by… you can tell who the people who aren’t local are because they’ll stop and take pictures, or you’ll have someone who’ll jump back in their car and speed off because they’ll think we’ll yell at them for trespassing.

We’ve had people from B.C., northern Saskatchewan, all over the place.”

The idea is that once things mature and word gets out, Courval will become part of what will essentially become a driving stop-in-and-relax tour of the entire area.

“You look at the smaller, niche-market restaurants around, people will travel to them because they’re different,” Paul said. “It’s something they want to try, and if they like it they might come back for second, third or fourth visit, who knows.

“It’s also part of the slow-down movement,” added Allison. “You aren’t popping in for a quick coffee kind of thing, there are no to-go cups… we might be off the beaten track, but there are a lot of places within a half-hour drive of here. So it’s about creating those partnerships and having it become a bit of tourist destination. We have

A Dream Come True From the earliest stages, The Church Gallery and Cafe has been a labour of love for the Marcils. It’s easy to see in the enthusiasm with how they talk about the various aspects of their project, and how they spend as much time as they can away from home working on it, living in campers on-site to better get things going on a day-byday basis.

“It’s easy to look at this like it’s crazy and it’s a bunch of dreamers but there’s a whole 21-page business model behind this that’s been thought through, how you make this make this and make money while still having what we have out here,” Allison said.

And while the final, most beautiful and productive stage of the whole venture might be a decade away, Paul already knows what it will look like in the end.

“Time isn’t on my side to see the whole thing come to full fruition, but I see it,” he said. “These hedgerows are already here in my mind, the trees are fully grown, the gardens are full, I already see it… it’s going to be something else.”

For much, much more on The Church and Cafe Gallery, including an in-depth look at every aspect of the project and even sponsorship opportunities, be sure to visit their website at www.thechurchcafeandgallery.ca.

The Food Forest might just be sapling and shrubs right now, but in a few years it’ll be well on its way to the ultimate goal of producing enough food for self-sustainability.

New Projections Confirm Predictions as Harvest Comes to a Close

By Eugenie Officer, Ag Journalist - Moose Jaw Express

New reports confirm low topsoil moisture and yield levels.

With harvest largely completed, Saskatchewan Agriculture’s crop report indicates that seventy-four percent of the crop is combined province-wide. Eighty-five percent of the crop is now in the bin in the southwest region.

Producers across the province are now awaiting much-needed fall and winter moisture to accommodate next year’s growing season.

Areas around Regina saw a hellacious windstorm last week, which brought about hail. The high winds and large hail severely damaged some crops in the Moose Jaw and Regina area. However, the storm did not bring about a significant amount of lasting moisture.

Saskatchewan’s weekly crop report indicates that due to strong winds and minimal rainfall, topsoil moisture conditions continue to deteriorate in most areas of the province.

Rainfall in Shaunavon and Gull Lake ranged from none to 15 mm. A total of 12.5” of rain was reported in the Hazenmore area, 6” in the Webb and Swift Current areas, and 5” in the Big Beaver area.

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated 36 percent adequate, 38 percent short, and 26 percent very short.

In Hay and pastures, topsoil moisture levels are rated 21 percent adequate, 44 percent short, and 35 percent very short.

For producers to experience a better growing season, the province will need both widespread and lengthy rain showers and snowfalls in the upcoming fall and winter months.

“We need a hard soak, almost like mother nature turning the tap on and walking away from it, to let the ground recharge while there is no crop out there. If that doesn’t happen, we may have another scary year for both crop and livestock producers,” said Matt Struthers, Crops Extension Specialist for Saskatchewan Agriculture.

As anticipated, this year’s provincial yields have been confirmed to be much lower than average, according to the Stats Canada report released on Tuesday. As a result of the poor growing season, total wheat production is expected to decrease 43.6 percent to 9.0 million tonnes, as yields declined 38.8 percent to 28.1 bushels per acre year over year.

In Saskatchewan, canola production is expected to decrease by 47.2% to 5.8 million tonnes province wide. Estimates indicate a decline of 50.4 percent in yield to 21.2 bushels an acre.

Saskatchewan Agriculture continues to encourage producers to apply for available programs which may help them in this challenging year. To learn more about the risk management and relief programs offered to producers through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, call the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377, or visit the Saskatchewan Agriculture website.

For years on Labour Day weekend we used to make a day trip past Elbow to the Gardiner Dam where we had lunch and admired the dam.

For someone like Yours Truly, raised in the semi-desert of southern Alberta, the water and the potential dam benefits are a marvel.

This year we did the trip to Elbow, stopping for lunch.

Since only the hotel was open to serve food we stopped into the Harbour Golf Club dining room.

It was our first time since the championship golf course opened in the 1980s, promoted by then Premier Grant Devine. Since neither my wife and partner nor I golf; we had little reason to stop there.

Entering was a surprise. We both had the idea that this Barn near Elbow dining room was

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express one with white linen table cloths and servers with steamed towels hung on their arms.

The only rules seemed to be the standard no shoes, no shirt, no service sign found in many eating places.

The staff was friendly, asking if we wanted to sit out on the sunny deck with the flies or inside. We chose to avoid the flies, later regretting that decision as the air conditioning was cranked up.

The lunch – a three cheese grilled cheese sandwich with tasty tomato bisque for my partner and a turkey club with brie for me — was good. No pie on the menu.

The golf course was especially busy. Trays of sandwiches were leaving the kitchen for the concession window.

Following lunch we drove around the condo and housing development nearest the golf course. Much development has occurred since the 1980s when one set of condos was built about half a mile from the course.

The price was $20,000. Yours Truly thought about buying one but did not — a case of woulda, coulda, shoulda.

When a fire destroyed some of these same units a few

years ago they were valued at about $200,000 each.

Outlook and a drive around town was our next stop. The antique shop was closed so we headed to Kenaston, located on Highway 11, noting how barren the mostly harvested fields appeared.

Crops were so short harvesters left virtually no stubble to trap snow moisture.

At Kenaston by late afternoon we caught the end of a car show. Efforts to find the antique shop that used to operate out of a mobile home were fruitless.

Home was then the destination with a stop at Twisted Sisters in Chamberlain.

A medium soft ice cream was ordered.

Seeing it my response was: “Oh My Medium cone God.” A good five inches of ice cream was piled on top of the cone. No supper needed for me.

Winmar: Restoration Specialists serving family, community and business

By April Meersman

Anna Tzortzis and Kyle Jacques, owners of four Winmar locations in Saskatchewan Who do you turn to after a disaster?

You talk to your insurance company but then what? You are asked to get quotes to rebuild your life.

Kyle Jacques and his wife Anna Tzortzis own and operate four Winmar locations within the province of Saskatchewan. “We treat each customer’s damage as if it were our own, applying the same quality of workmanship that we would expect ourselves.”

Anna and Kyle’s wedding 2017 Family In 2010, Anna started Winmar (Regina), while Kyle started Winmar (Moose Jaw). In 2016, he opened up Winmar (Estevan). And in 2019, Kyle purchased Winmar (Yorton).

With the couple picking it up from the previous owner and then dealing with COVID in 2020, they wanted everyone to know Winmar (Yorkton) is under new ownership and is looking forward to serving the community.

Willy Winmar...everyone’s favourite handybear launched on July 1st

Anna got her start in the construction business when she was just a teenager at her mother and stepfather’s Winmar location in Chatham, Ontario. She started as a labourer and by the time she graduated high school she was working and learning how to run the office.

Kyle started construction during his teen years as well. Continuing in the construction field after high school, he found himself working as a roofing contractor for Winmar (Chatham). That is where this power couple met and the beginning of something special.

Anna and Kyle started dating in 2013 and married in 2017. Together they are raising their two children. This family enjoys spending time outdoors camping, visiting the Sky Park, snowmobiling and playing on their five acres. But for how much fun they have away from job sites and the office, for this couple, work is very serious business.

Community Since their teen years, Anna and Kyle have spent their time restoring the lives of others. Even through their charitable work, they have been involved in helping children live better lives. They have made donations including Ronald McDonald House in Saskatoon and fundraising for Autism in Moose Jaw. They have been involved with Santa’s Anonymous and the Boys and Girls Club of Yorkton. “Whatever we can get involve with, we will get involved with,” said Anna.

Anna launched Willy Winmar, everyone’s favourite handy-bear, on July 1st, 2021. Willy has already attended Regina’s “Food Truck Wars,” “Summer Bash, Summer Market” and has posed in countless selfies with his adoring fans.

Winmar Team He is a bear on the rise. In August, he joined the Winmar team on location to help out at the Moose Jaw Food Bank during the renovation of their new facility.

He might be occasionally clumsy when it comes to dropping tools but he more than makes up for it when it comes to putting a smile on your face. Follow Willy Winmar on his Facebook page at: https://www. facebook.com/TheWillyWinmar This delightful blue bear has only just started working but has an important role to play within the community. There could be times of trauma when Willy Winmar will be on-site handing out teddy bears to children who are in need of a stuffed friend…a simple act of kindness, which goes to show the integrity of this family-owned company.

Business Saskatchewan can produce all sorts of unpredictable weather. It could be bright and sunny with a few clouds, then suddenly, everything turns dark with golfball-sized

hailstones ripping a path through town.

Unexpected but the damage is repairable.

Wildfires, tornadoes and flooding are all part of nature and Winmar has the specialists to restore damaged property.

Winmar works with insurance companies to restore all kinds of claim work. Taking on a damage claim caused by anything from earth, fire, wind or water as a minor repair or a fully finished restoration, is what these specialists are trained to do.

From city to country, firm to farm, they will do it all - residential, business or commercial.

But what if the problem wasn’t from a disaster? Kyle and his crew cover a wide range of specialties from asbestos abatement and mould removal. They are qualified in water damage restoration, structural drying, microbial remediation, fire and smoke restoration and odor control.

Winmar has the qualified staff needed for customized restoration leaving you to decompress - not stress.

Warriors sign four out of training camp, six head off to pursue NHL opportunity Defenceman Gallant joined by forwards Schofer, Pilling, Lolacher in signing WHL standard player agreements Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Warriors file Heading into their 2021 training camp, the Moose Jaw Warriors had a simple message for the corps of youngsters looking to crack their veteran-laden team: work hard, make yourself stand out and you will be noticed.

Last Tuesday, four players found out that sentiment wasn’t just lip service.

The Warriors announced that defenceman Matthew Gallant along with forwards Tate Schofer, Nathan Pilling and Harper Lolacher had all signed Western Hockey League standard player agreements, two days after the club had wrapped up their 2021 training camp.

Making it all the more interesting is how the players initially arrived in Moose Jaw — of the three, only Lolacher was selected the WHL Prospects Draft, and even he was as late a pick as possible, going in the 11th round of the

2020 Draft “Any time you can add three listed players and someone you drafted in the 11th round, you’ve had some success identifying players and those are pieces that can help your program be successful in the future,” said Warriors general manager Jason Ripplinger. “Those kids came in determined and showed that they wanted to be here and wanted to make our hockey club. For the last 18 months, they put in the work and you can tell they did.”

Pilling, 17, was listed by the Warriors out of camp in 2019. The 6-foot-4 and 191-pound left winger had two goals in five games with the Calgary Flames of the Alberta Elite Hockey League (18U AAA) last season and 24 goals and 49 points in 37 games with the Calgary Bruins (16U AAA) in 2019-20.

“Being that he’s 6-foot-4 he’s not hard to miss, there’s a lot of things he did right and he worked hard at both ends of the ice,” said Ripplinger.

Gallant, 17, was listed by the Warriors in April 2021. A 5-foot-10, 163-pound rearguard, he played last season with Delta Hockey Academy 18U Prep and was held without a point in four games. Playing with West Vancouver Academy Prep the previous season he had eight assists in 35 games.

“From the first time he stepped on the ice he just took off,” said Ripplinger. “He didn’t care he was a 17-year-old rookie, he just carried the puck up ice and made plays.”

Schofer, 17, was listed by Moose Jaw in November 2020.

A 5-foot-9, 158-pound right winger, he suited up for Regina Pat Canadians in the Sask Male U18 AAA Hockey League and had three goals and six points in seven games.

The previous season he suited up for Prairie Hockey

Academy’s U16 Prep team and put up 14 goals and 28 points in 34 games.

“With Schofer, you can tell he’s going to be an agitator and he’s going to (anger) a lot of people,” Ripplinger said.

Lolacher, 16, will also be playing close to home and suited up for the Tisdale Trojans of the SMAAAHL last season. A 5-foot-10, 150-pound centre, Lolacher had a goal in three games in 2020-21 to go along with seven goals and 16 points in 27 games with Notre Dame U15 Prep in 2019-20.

“He’s a hard-working guy that did a lot of good things,” Ripplinger said. “He has a lot of speed in his game so it’ll be interesting to see how he is as he develops later.”

Seeing the quartet of players end up signing on with the team isn’t much of a surprise for the team brass, especially given why they were listed and drafted in the first place.

“If you know some of the background and history of these players, when you list them or draft them later, you know that there’s character there and they’re going to be determined to make the WHL,” Ripplinger said. “That’s what we saw from all four of these players.”

They’ll all receive long looks through the exhibition season, too, as the Warriors saw six veterans head off to National Hockey League development and training camps last week: defencemen Daemon Hunt (Minnesota Wild) and Cole Jordan (Calgary Flames) along with forwards Ryder Korczak (New York Rangers), Martin Rysavy (Columbus Blue Jackets), Max Wanner (Edmonton Oilers) and forward Eric Alarie (Florida Panthers).

The Warriors closed out their pre-season campaign and open the 2021-22 campaign on Friday, Oct. 1 when they host the Saskatoon Blades.

High school volleyball season opens with full slate of games Central, Cornerstone post wins in boys action, Peacock and Briercrest victorious in girls play Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

For the first time in almost two years, high school volleyball is back in regular-season action in Moose Jaw. And if the opening night of competition is any indication, there could be plenty of interesting results going forward.

In senior boys action, the contest between the Central Cyclones and Peacock Toilers was the only game on the night to go beyond three sets, as Central would go on to a 3-1 (25-14, 25-20, 21-25, 27-17) victory at Peacock.

The Cornerstone Christian School Falcons got off to a fast start in their quest to return to the 2A provincial championships, taking a 3-0 (25-8, 25-6, 25-12) victory over the

Riverview Royals.

In senior girls action, Peacock picked up right where they left off in their pre-season tournament semifinal appearance this past weekend with a 3-0 (25-16, 25-20, 25-14) win over Central.

The Briercrest Christian Academy Cougars also opened their campaign in style, as they defeated the Vanier Spirits 3-0 (25-18, 25-13, 25-23).

Senior boys action continues on Tuesday, Sept. 21 as Vanier is at Peacock and Central at Riverview, with both

games starting at 6:20 p.m. Briercrest Christian is at Cornerstone at 7 p.m.

The senior girls were also back in action this week on Tuesday, with Briercrest hosting Central at 6:20 p.m. and Peacock hosting Vanier at 8 p.m.

Warriors take pre-season home-and-home sweep over Broncos

Moose Jaw scores pair in first, go on to 5-2 victory at Mosaic Place Saturday after 6-1 win in Swift Current Friday

Jagger Firkus eludes a Liam Saxberg hip check during a rush up ice.

So far so good for the Moose Jaw Warriors in the Western Hockey League pre-season.

The Warriors improved to 3-0 through their exhibition schedule with a pair of wins over the Swift Current Broncos this past weekend, taking a 6-1 victory on Friday in Swift Current and following with a 5-2 win in the rematch Saturday at Mosaic Place.

It’s as good a start to the first part of the campaign as the team could have hoped, and even though they faced a bit more adversity than they had in previous wins, it was all still a positive look at a time of the season where that can be all-important.

“I think it was just another experience for the guys,” said Warriors head coach Mark O Leary. “Our theme coming in was circumstances don’t change the standards, so there are certain things we’re always talking about. I know the guys looked a little bit tired here, they’ve worked hard the last couple of weeks

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express with no real time off, so it was a good opportunity to realize this league is hard sometimes and finding a way to win even when it’s not pretty is a good experience.”

On Saturday, the Warriors had goals from Tate Schofer and Max Wanner in the first period before Robert Baco extended their lead to 3-0 with his third of the pre-season midway through the second.

Raphael Pelletier and Josh Filmon scored power-play markers in the third to make things interesting, but Brayden Yager and Calder Anderson added insurance markers in the final six minutes to close out the three-goal win.

If there was one area of concern, it was the number of penalties the team took, with the Warriors having five minors and a late-game major to the Broncos’ single penalty on the night. “(Assistant coach) Gord (Burnett) will be happy, there are lots of video clips to work on,” O’Leary said jokingly.

“But at the end of the day I think a lot of those were a bit of fatigue and lazy penalties we hope to rid ourselves of early on. They’re all experiences and we have to be able to go through them to be able to coach through them as well.”

Yager’s goal was his first of the pre-season and came after a host of chances for his line throughout the game.

“It’s been really good,” he said of the showing. “Our line was fighting the puck earlier but we had a ton of shots and it was good to get one. Once you get one hopefully it gets the ball rolling and we can keep it going.”

Seeing the team get off to the kind of start they’ve had so far and establish their identity early on has been a positive sign for the 16-year-old second-year veteran.

“We’ve always been a kind of compete, hard work and get the bounces to go your way kind of team, so hopefully we can keep working hard and stick to our game,” Yager said.

Carl Tetachuk made 22 saves to earn the win in goal for

Moose Jaw, while the Warriors had 36 shots on the Broncos’ Jacob Herman.

Friday, the Warrors had two goals apiece from Kade Runke and Nathan Pilling to go along with single markers from Cade Hayes and Robert Baco. Matthew Gallant and Ben Riche had two assists each; Brett Mirwald stopped 15 shots to earn the win.

Even with the solid start, O’Leary will be looking for more hard work in the week ahead, especially knowing that Connor Bedard and the Regina Pats wait in the wings next weekend.

“We’ll have to certainly have a great week of practice here, we know it’ll be a different game against Regina, they’re a bigger team that makes you earn every inch of ice,” O’Leary said. “I don’t know what our line-up will look like just yet with guys back from NHL camps, but the line-up we have is more than capable and we’ll get things going the right way here before Friday.”

The Warriors will host the Pats on Friday at 7 p.m. at Mosaic Place before returning to the site of the East Division Hub for the rematch on Saturday at the Brandt Centre.

Central rolls to overwhelming win over Peacock in high school football action Cyclones build 40-0 lead at half, go on to 65-0 victory in South 3A 12-man Football League play Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Right from the moment running back Javin Boynton nearly took the opening kick-off for a touchdown, the Central Cyclones were rolling against the Peacock Tornadoes on Saturday afternoon.

And they just didn’t stop.

The Cyclones would go on to a 65-0 victory in South 3A 12-Man Football League action at Gutheridge Field, one of the most commanding wins in recent history by either team in their storied rivalry.

“I’m super proud of these kids, they’ve been working hard these past three weeks

to a month, and it’s been drilled into them, you get nothing unless you put something in,” said Cyclones head coach Colin Belsher. “So they’ve been working hard to get to this point… Peacock is a little younger and we’re a little older and that’s just what happens when you play the game over the years. But we were pretty crisp, the defence was solid and I was pretty proud of how we kept the positive mindset the whole way through.”

Central got on the board on the first play after Boynton’s return, and he’d do the honours with an eight-yard run. Sam Barth hauled in a 10-yard pass from quarterback Wil Ansell with 4:10 to play in the first quarter and Kaedyn Banilevic a 22-yard pass with 2:35 left for a 21-0 lead after the opening 12 minutes..

A 17-yard field goal from Rylan Schoffer opened second-quarter scoring at 9:23, Ansell ran in from three yards out with 3:34 remaining, Mason Payne had a 51yard TD run two minutes later and Schoffer closed out the first half with a 23-yard field goal.

Cole Breitkreuz caught a 13-yard pass, Layne Johnson had a 27-yard pick-six

and Sam Barth a 97-yard pass-and-run for Central’s second-half scoring. Schoffer closed out the onslaught with a 40-yard field goal.

As well as things went on his side of the field, Ansell — who threw 12 passes for 103 yards — was quick to give credit for his team’s staunch offence. And for good reason, as over two games Central has yet to allow a point while putting up over 100 themselves.

“I think we played really well as a team overall,” Ansell said. “The defence played great and kept them from getting barely any first downs in the first half, which really helped us having a short field. I don’t think I had as many passing yards, but that’s not a big deal, as long as we’re putting up points that’s all that matters… then we were moving well, guys were getting open and making good plays, it was just an all-around good game.”

Braxton Hooper had 10 carries for 27 yards for Peacock, while Owen Varjassy had a pair of catches for 40 yards. All told, the Tornadoes had 125 yards of offence on the day. Peacock fell to 0-2 with the loss.

In league action Friday, Weyburn took a

43-0 win over Estevan to also improve to 2-0 without having allowed a point this season. Vanier (0-1) was in Swift Current (1-0), with scoring information unavailable as of this writing.

League action continues Friday, Sept. 24 with Estevan in Yorkton, while Saturday action will see Central host Swift Current at 1 p.m. at Gutheridge Field and Vanier taking on Peacock at 3:15 p.m.

Moose Jaw continues support of Terry Fox Run with dozens of participants Supporters took part in live event in Wakamow Valley as well as registering online and doing own thing in continued support of Terry Fox’s dream Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Stephanie Meyer, Kerri Thiele and Craig Hemingway were on hand at the River Park Pavillion taking registration on Sunday morning.

At some point in time, the Moose Jaw edition of the Terry Fox Run is going to return to its former splendour -- hundreds of

Oh Clark’s

runners gathering for festivities on a nice day, all with the goal of supporting Terry’s legacy and the Canadian Cancer Society.

But with the ongoing pandemic, organizers once again decided to take a cautious approach this time around, offering participants a chance to register at the River Park Pavilion in Wakamow Valley and then do their own thing, with many taking the option of strolling around the oval or through the many trails in the area.

That’s not to say the 41st edition of the Run was anything other than a success, though, as supporters continue to do what they can to honour Terry Fox and his Marathon of Hope.

“It’s about what we expected, I’m very happy,” said Moose Jaw organizer Craig Hemingway on Saturday morning as folks stopped by to sign up. “To this point we’ve had about 20 or so people come and check

in and go for a walk wherever they wish and that was the whole point, to give people the option to do that today.”

Like the fully-online Terry Fox Run in 2020, participants could simply register at www.terryfox.org and make a donation there, then take part in whatever activity they wished on the day of the event. Based on what he’d seen online, Hemingway expected many local supporters were taking just that approach.

“Certainly we know already there’s be a lot of activity online with people making donations there, which is all encouraged,” he said. “It’s all about giving what you can in Terry’s name, that was his motto, and however people are donating, it’s all tremendous.”

An impressive aspect of the Moose Jaw run is how many longtime supporters of the event are in the community -- many of

whom have never missed a Terry Fox Run dating back to its inception.

“A lot of the people who have checked in have run every year, they haven’t missed one since 1980, which is amazing,” Hemingway said. “But you do get that sense from talking to people that they’re looking forward to more of a gathering, more of a celebration with everybody… For something like this, you want be able to see other people and thank them for being a part of it, like you are part of Team Terry.”

While the final Moose Jaw fundraising total is still being tallied, however much is raised will be a positive for the local Run and the Canadian Cancer Society.

“People are donating how they can, when they can and as much as they can and it’s all appreciated,” Hemingway said.

“We had quite a few APs in the first game and we’re starting to get some guys back now, which is nice, but we haven’t practiced with a full squad here yet,” Weisgerber said. “So hopefully this week we get a couple more guys back and have the majority of our team so we can go through things. Then we’re still looking at guys here to possibly fill another spot, so these two games have been good to see some guys.”

NON MEMBERS WELCOME! Seniors’ Centre Without Walls: To register for any of the SCWW’s upcoming events, call the office at 1 (306) 631-4357 or email seniorswithouthwalls2021@ gmail.com.

The Saskatchewan chapter of Senior Centre Without Walls (SCWW) is undertaking a unique project to bring fine art into the living rooms of local seniors via phone. “A Taste of Art” (September 16-October 7, 2021) is a new initiative that uses the SCWW format similar to a “party line”, where participants phone into a common line and participate in an inclusive and accessible audio-only format. The program will be run over 4 weeks in collaboration with Winnipeg-based dementia educator Catherine Livingstone using elder engagement strategies developed by the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, and Christy Schweiger from the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery. Images have been chosen from the MJMAG’s “Blazes Along the Trail: Exploring David Milne’s Imaginative Vision” exhibition (September 17, 2021 - January 2, 2022). Enrolled participants have been mailed prepackaged “kits” of art supplies as well as accompanying re-

Proof of Vaccination or Negative Test Requirements Effective October 1 Effective October 1, a proof of vaccination or negative test requirement will be implemented for all Government of Saskatchewan ministry, crown and agency employees.

Employees of all Government of Saskatchewan ministries, crowns and agencies will be required to be fully vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine by October 1.

Employees that do not provide proof of vaccination will be required to provide proof of a negative test result on a consistent basis.

Effective October 1 a provincial requirement for proof of

vaccination or negative test will be implemented for public access to a list of establishments, businesses and event venues that bring groups of people together, including: • Indoor dining at restaurants; • Nightclubs, bars, taverns and other licensed establishments; • Event and entertainment venues, including conference centres, casinos, movie theatres, concert venues, live-music venues, museums, and indoor facilities hosting ticketed sporting events; • Indoor fitness centres, and gyms.

COVID – 19, the Delta Variant and the Fourth Wave Want Answers? Ask an Historian an Agronomist or a Botanist

By Richard Dowson, Moose Jaw

Historians who studied the Spanish Flu are not surprised by the ‘Fourth Wave’.

Agronomists and Botanists who study viruses and plant pathology are not surprised by Virus Variants like the Delta Variant.

Spanish Flu – 1916 to 1920 Usually thought of as the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic, it emerged in 1916 from a variant of a bird flu; grew; spreading worldwide in 1917-18; was still potent in 1919; and lingered into 1920 From 1920 Spanish Flu grew weaker, people developed immunity and it dropped to the back pages of science history. Variants infected animals and birds and major flu events still occurred.

This Chart from the Saskatchewan Archives. It shows how deadly the Spanish Flu was in 1919 Antibodies Prevent Death “Saskatchewan Bureau of Public Health” Records Prove the 1916-1920 Spanish Flu was not the first time a variation of this Virus caused a Pandemic.

An Historian will tell you, “Look at the Death Rate for people age 40 and older. The Death Rate should be highest in people 60 and older – just like it is today. It wasn’t!”

The Historian explains, “These people survived the Russian Flu Pandemic if 1898-90. The antibodies they developed gave them immunity.”

COVID. There are more people in the world today than in 1918 so one would expect more Variants.

World Population in 1918 was 1.8 Billion people World Population in 2020 was 7.8 Billion people In crop science, the more a variety is grown, the greater the chance of a disease variant.

In 1918 only Botanists and plant science specialists believed there were viruses. And even some of them didn’t believe there were viruses until 1933 when they could see them with an electron microscope. They thought the idea of variants even crazier.

Saskatchewan Archives Antibodies Protect Against a Virus – Vaccines Produce Antibodies In a goofy sort of way, this Death Rate Table proves Vaccines Work. Those who survived the Russian Flu Pandemic had antibodies against the Spanish Flu. Getting sick with the Russian Flu and surviving, meant developing antibodies. mRNA Vaccines generate antibodies.

How Spanish Flu Worked – A person got infected; the infection progressed to Pneumonia; there was no medical treatment for pneumonia, so the person either got better or turned blue and died.

Why Did the Delta Variant Emerge? Why are there more Variants?

Ask an Agronomist – (often called the General Practitioner of plant science), or a Botanist. Viruses are always changing. That is why they are difficult to deal with.

Variants develop when there is a large, active ‘pool’ of the virus. Emergence has nothing to do with the Internet, a cousin in Edmonton or the guy down the street. The more people infected with the virus the greater the chance the virus will ‘morph’ into another Variant. Simple logic suggests a Variant would emerge in India because of the size of the population and the number of people sick with

COVID Prediction Based on the Spanish Flu The Second Quarter of 2022 will see a rapid decline in COVID-19 and its Variants. The virus will continue for years and ‘morph’ into other variants. Another Flu Pandemic will arrive in 10 or 15 years.

Will people prepare? No. After the SARS scare in 2003 people thought the world should prepare. It didn’t.

Folks don’t pay much attention to Historians or Agronomists or Botanists.

Maybe they should.

Obituaries Rev. Dr. John Kreutzwieser is a retired pastor from Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Moose Jaw, SK. He graduated with a doctorate degree in 2006 from the Robert Webber Institute for Worship Studies in Florida.

The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author, and do not necessarily reflect the position of this publication.

The Pig The other day on the golf course one of our group had a short putt lip out of the hole and spin sideways. He commented, “You pig.” Then a few holes later another almost in and then out putt, a different friend exclaimed, “You pig.”

On the next tee box I said, “Why is the pig so maligned?”

“Why don’t you write about that word,” someone said. So here it is – pig.

Why do pigs get such a bad rap? When Charles Schultz developed his Peanuts cartoon strip, he named one of the characters Pig-pen. Pig-pen is extremely dirty and has a permanent cloud of dust around him.

In the play Richard III, William Shakespeare wrote, “he is a foul swine” who “swills your warm blood like wash, and makes his trough in your embowell’d bosoms.” It is true that often pigs are dirty and they will eat almost anything, even human flesh.

The Book of Leviticus directs, “The pig (khazeer), because it parts the hoof and is cloven-footed but does not chew the cud, is unclean to you. You shall not eat any of their flesh, and you shall not touch their carcasses; they are unclean to you.” The Qur’an, following suit, forbids the eating of swine flesh. This seems to be connected to the eating habits of pigs.

Approved animals for consumption ate grasses, while swine consumed everything.

Just to be clear about pigs and swine: a pig is technically a young swine. A hog is a swine weighing more than 120 lbs.

Did you know that the largest swine recorded was 5 feet tall and weighed 2,552 lbs. Now that’s a pig!

The poor pig is maligned because it eats anything. Yet from the swine we get food many people love; bacon, ham, pork chops, sausage, pork shoulder & butt, spareribs, Canadian bacon, etc. Some people even like pig’s feet, pig’s ears, and pig’s tails (an Oktoberest delicacy which I grew up with in Kitchener). You have to weigh the delicious meats versus how the pigs live and what they eat. Pigs are smelly and wallow in mud. Of course, there is a purpose for the mud. It regulates body temperature and discourages parasites. Healthy reasons to be sure.

In medieval Europe the nobility preferred the meat of swine above all else. Perhaps the pigs’ diet of acorns and forest underbrush helped ease the concern about eating habits. Once the vast forests of Europe declined, so did the desire for pigs’ meat. Is there some truth to the phrase, “You are what you eat?”

In China the pig symbolizes wealth and prosperity. The Year of the Pig, in the Chinese calendar, is one of luck. Did you know that 50% of all domestic pigs are found in China?

The “piggy bank” was first used in Germany in the 13th century as a sign of good fortune in saving money. I remember having a piggy bank at home for my savings.

But the poor pig! In the Gospel of Mark Jesus sends some demons into a herd of pigs. “Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, and the demons begged Jesus, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.” So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out and entered the pigs; and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and drowned in the sea.”

So what can we learn from the khazeer? Maybe there is some usefulness and good in all of us. If we focus too much on the faults and things we don’t like about others then relationships suffer. We need to learn to see the good in people, not just the bad or the things we disagree with. Let us learn from the pig and discover useful things in all those around us. It will go a long way in helping us get along with each other.

Eaton’s Centre kicks off 26th annual Western Canada floor shuffleboard tourney Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Western Canada floor shuffleboard tournament at the Timothy Eaton’s Centre.

Prime is one of 57 players from British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba who will compete from Sept.

13 to 16 for the championship trophy.

Sept. 13 before the start of the 26th annual “It’s been a lot of fun.”

Prime has visited Moose Jaw several times during the past decade because his common-law wife — whom he met while in Yuma — is from The Friendly City. One of his favourite parts about coming here is visiting the Tunnels of Moose Jaw and learning about the community’s history.

“This is a good tournament. I’ve never Bryan Weber (background) and John Wright check out the had problems. It’s all tournament bracket before the start of the event. Photo by friendly people,” he Jason G. Antonio

added.

Winnipeg native Bryan Weber made his first appearance at the tournament after his friend, Ron Molter, invited him to compete.

Both met in Texas several years ago while wintering at the same resort and became friends.

Floor shuffleboard is a great game because it’s similar to ice curling and employs almost the same strategies, Weber said. His first goal during this tournament is to have fun and then win — if he can.

Weber comes into the tournament with the title of “expert” after scoring enough points during tournaments and competitions elsewhere.

However, this is the first time he is playing with that title since he could not travel to Texas last year due to the pandemic. Still, he is excited to go toe-to-toe with some of the best players in WestCoun. Kim Robinson throws the first slider to open the ern Canada.

Regina’s Schultz takes top spot in Western Canada shuffleboard tournament Late-game comeback leads to 40-2 victory over Manitoba’s Lynne Sutton Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

But things can change in a hurry in shuffleboard, and they most definitely did in this case.

Schultz would score 17 points to all of a sudden find himself with a three-point lead.

The very next frame, disaster struck for Sutton — she’d attempt a draw on her final shot and ended up ‘in the kitchen’, or at the very end of the board, and would lose 10 points. Just like that, Schultz led 32-12, and after Sutton took another minus-10 in the final end, he took a 40-2 victory.

“I thought she had the game all way along, but when you end up in the kitchen, it’s a big turnaround and that’s the way the game goes,” Schultz Lynne Sutton fires away during the ‘A’ side title game. said shortly after receiving congratulations from the assembled onlookers.

for a long run to the title game.

Schultz defeated Dennis Robinson, Alice Moore and Marietta Spenser to reach the quarter-final. There, he downed Earl Berard and followed with a victory over Stan Prime in the semifinal to earn his berth in the title game.

“This has been my really lucky week. Not only did I win all my games, at the banquet I won the 50/50 draw and then another $25 draw and now I get a trophy,” Schultz said with a laugh.

Sutton, meanwhile, defeated Aime Archer, Gord Pollock and Bob Nunweiler in her first three contests before taking a semifinal win over Jane McWillie and defeating Donna Crouch in the semifinal.

Prime took a 26-5 win over Crouch in the third-place game.

While there was plenty of close competition through the week, another theme was part and parcel with the festivities — just having a chance to get back together again and play the game they love.

But of course the last two years there Regina’s Rick Schultz with the Western Canada hasn’t been much going on,” Schul- Shuffleboard Tournament Trophy. tz said. “It’s great to get together it’s nice to be back playing with friends… again.

Eighty-Years-Ago, Struck by a Train During, WW Two

By Richard Dowson, Moose Jaw

When we think about people killed in World War Two, the assumption is, they died in battle. For many, however, their death was not glorious or glamourous. An incredible number died in tragic accidents. The Rosedale Cemetery in contains the graves of men who drown or were killed in a vehicle accident.

Some of the saddest stories are about men and women killed in Canada during the War was that they performed ‘regular’, support worker jobs. Often forgotten is the suffering faced by their families, having to adjust to the loss of the financial and emotional support of a loved one.

Eighty years ago the main mode of transportation was the passenger train. The ‘train’ could be deadly.

On Tuesday, October 2, 1941 the Moose Jaw Times Herald reported the deaths of two airmen posted at Number 7 Service Flying Training School at (Fort) McLeod, Alberta.

The men, L/AC Winfield Murray McHeffrey, R/60770, of 11215 – 96 Street, Edmonton, Alberta, and L/AC Merrit Malone Wyman, R/62140, age 32 of Saskatoon, worked in the ‘Maintenance Flight’ at No. 7 SFTS as aero-engine mechanics.

Number 7 S.F.T.S. Air Base was south of the railway tracks and west of the CPR Station. It was common for Air Base personnel to walk along the railway tracks when going back and forth to the Base.

Information from the Saskatchewan Virtual War Memorial indicates, L/AC W. M Wyman was born in 1909 and was an aero engine mechanic. Wyman was the son of Claude Elmer and Elizabeth Bertha Wyman and was married to Eva Kathleen (Bateman).

They had two children.

L/AC Merrit Malone Wyman, R/62140 is buried in the Saskatoon (Woodlawn) Cemetery, at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Grave identification is: Block H. Lot 401. Grave 7.

L/AC Winfield Murray McHeffrey, R/60770, age 28, is buried in the Edmonton, (Beechmount) Cemetery, Edmonton, Alberta. The Grave reference is Block 208. Grave 6.

Report – Submitted for the project, Operation Picture Me

The Old ‘McLeod’ Station looking west – Source unknown

Protruding Piston Cowling The two men were walking with a friend, L/ AC Alex Leonard of McLeod, eastward in the center of the CPR tacks near the (Fort) McLeod Station when two of the three were struck and killed by the east bound CPR passenger train. The men died at 16:20, on October 1, 1941. It is believed they were struck by the protruding ‘piston cowling’ of the locomotive.
