For the last 14 years, the Journey to Hope has been focused on its ongoing and constant mission -- do everything possible to raise awareness of mental health and just as importantly work toward suicide prevention from every angle possible Their work continued even though the ongoing pandemic, with advertising, education and numerous donations to causes designed to improve the mental well-being of those in Moose Jaw who need assistance.

And even in these trying times, the community did everything it could to help over the last year -- to the tune of donating close to $30,000 to the local organization in the last 12 months.

“They believe in the mission, and that’s why it’s so important to share what we’ve done on their behalf in the community,” said Journey to Hope organizer Della Ferguson shortly after their annual fundraiser and memorial in Crescent Park on Saturday morning.

“I think people are so appreciative that it’s staying right here. It’s going straight to our own community, from students to seniors, and it shows our community is growing in acceptance to having training and having conversations in this movement, taking the stigma out and letting people be seen and heard.”

The close to 100 supporters who took in the event listened to a trio of speakers.

Brittnee Prettyshield spoke of her mental health battle in school and throughout the pandemic before performing a soulful rendition of Rise Up by musician Andra Day. Local artist Jess Zoerb talked about her sister Niki and how she honours her memory by honouring herself, creating stability and doing what she can to make the world a better place. Zoerb’s artwork is currently on display in the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre.

improve one’s mental health drastically, with just a few minutes a day outdoors making a huge difference. He joined Tyler Simpson and Chris Robart in the Ruck-it-Up rucking fundraiser, bringing in $7,585.

Having speakers who use a variety of methods to deal with their own mental health was all part of the plan, said Ferguson.

“We want to show that on size doesn’t fit all,” she explained, using the popular method of journaling as an example. “People always say ‘talk it out, journal it’ and not everybody has found their voice that way, it’s only one way of expressing yourself. So we want people to know there are so many different ways you can work through this and find your way, what it is that fits you.”

All told, the fundraising venture raised $28,649, with the always-popular peach sale by Todd Bell bringing in $3,620 and the Gord Aitken Memorial Quilt by Joyce Aitken -- this year with the theme Forever in My Heart -- raising close to $2,900 through their annual raffle.

The Journey to Hope also included the tradition of reading the names of those lost to suicide and who continue to be mourned and missed by their families, some of whom have been a part of the memorial all 14 years of its existence.

“It’s very much about remembering,” Ferguson said. “For some, it’s a ritual, as a way of honouring a loved one and we’re so grateful to be able to offer that for them.”

Now, Journey to Hope’s work continues. They’ll soon be embarking on another round of activities and once again working the fundraising trail.

Area students cast ballots in federal election via a youth-focused voting program

Students in the Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan constituency might have been unable to vote legally in the 2021 federal election, but they could still participate via a youth-focused voting program.

Student Vote Canada encourages schools to participate in the voting process whenever a provincial or federal election is held.

The initiative is designed to be an authentic learning program that provides students with the chance to experience the voting process first-hand and practise active and informed citizenship habits.

“Numerous independent evaluations have confirmed that Student Vote helps foster the characteristics of young voters, including enhanced civic literacy, increased political interest and discussion, and greater intention to vote,” the program’s website says.

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express Twenty-nine schools in this constituency participated in this year’s Student Vote program. Based on how students cast their ballots, their results showed: · Fraser Tolmie, Conservative Party, received 1,142 votes or 41.42 per cent of the vote · Talon Regent, NDP, received 729 votes or 26.44 per cent of the vote · Chey Craik, People’s Party of Canada, received 317 votes or 11.50 per cent of the vote · Isaiah Hunter, Green Party, received 262 votes or 9.50 per cent of the vote · Katelyn Zimmer, Liberal Party, received 219 votes or 7.94 per cent of the vote · David Craig Townsend, Maverick Party, In Moose Jaw schools: received 88 votes or 3.19 per cent of the · Students at A.E. Peacock Collegiate and vote Central Collegiate voted for Tolmie, followed by Regent, Craik, Hunter, Zimmer and Townsend · King George Elementary students voted for Tolmie, followed by Regent, Zimmer, Hunter, Craik and Townsend · Students at Prince Arthur School voted for Hunter, Tolmie, Regent, Zimmer, Craik, and Townsend · Sacred Heart School students voted for Regent, Tolmie, Hunter, Craik, Zimmer, and Townsend · Students at St. Mary School voted for Regent, Tolmie, Zimmer, Craik, Hunter and Townsend · St. Michael School students voted for Regent, Tolmie, Zimmer, Craik, Hunter and Townsend · Students at Vanier Collegiate voted for Tolmie, Regent, Zimmer, Craik, Hunter and Townsend · St. Margaret School students voted for Tolmie, Regent, Hunter, Craik, Zimmer and Townsend These numbers and results were close to how the federal election played out in this

riding, as Tolmie got 61 per cent of the vote, Regent received 18.7 per cent, Craik got 11.6 per cent, Zimmer received six per cent, Townsend got 1.6 per cent, and Hunter received 1.1 per cent.

Meanwhile, nationally, 740,515 students from 5,478 schools cast their ballots in all 338 federal electoral districts.

The results from the national Student Vote program showed the Liberals winning 117 seats and 24 per cent of the vote, the NDP won 107 seats and received 29 per cent of the vote, the Conservatives won 91 seats and 25 per cent of the vote, the Bloc Quebecois won 20 seats and took two per cent of the vote, while the Green Party won three seats and 10 per cent of the popular vote.

“When we started the campaign, we were unsure how many schools would participate given the limited time. Teachers have exceeded our expectations. We would like to thank teachers for dedicating time to the program and for helping educate future voters,” said Taylor Gunn, president and CEO of CIVIX Canada. “Our democracy will be stronger because of you.”

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS

Banana peel —suggested treatment for what ails you

While growing up, the “fresh” winter fruits in the household were apples, oranges, the despised grapefruit, and the much-loved banana.

In my youthful unawareness of the agricultural process, I figured the downtown Safeway must have an interesting growth of banana plants behind the swinging doors to the warehouse.

One of my favourite treats at a meal was the banana salad. Mom would peel the bananas, slice them in half lengthwise and place two slices on a bed of lettuce on each plate. She would then put a dollop of her homemade salad dressing on each slice

and top that with tiny bits of walnuts and cashews. That was a much-loved appetizer for whatever meat and potato meal she had planned. And some days when she was particularly busy, she would add an extra banana slice to make it seem like a larger serving and that would be the meal.

I don’t think I have ever served that banana salad to Housemate. I’m sure he would like it, if only restrictive diets permitted.

In addition to banana loaf with cherries and peel, banana muffins with chocolate chips, banana smoothies or banana cake with brown sugar icing, the Monkey Tail booth at the fair was the place to stop. Bananas were peeled and cut in half crosswise, a stick was inserted, the bananas then dipped in hot chocolate syrup and rolled in nuts. Into the freezer they went and after some time to freeze out came the frozen banana treat. I liked them so much that even a bit of thawed mush didn’t detract from the summer treat.

Then the other day, a friend sent a list of important ideas she thought I just needed to know. For instance, if you run bacon under cold water, shrinkage will be reduced by up to 50 per cent. Good to know. Also educational was the idea of extending the

life of a bouquet of flowers by adding 7Up to the water. I wonder if Ginger Ale or Sprite would have the same result?

But it was the banana information that caught my eye. We’ve all muttered about those little stringy things that have to be plucked from the fruit before eating. But if you peel the banana from the bottom, supposedly the problem will disappear.

Eating a banana, the information said, will help ease an upset stomach. Hmmm!

But the most interesting tidbit of information — holding a banana peel over a bruise for 10-30 minutes will remove the black and blue colour from the bruise.

Someone we know might benefit from this remedy. She has a few bruises from a recent fall and being a good friend, I offered to buy her some bananas so she could test

the theory. She rebuffed my best intentions and so the bananas will stay in the store and her bruises will no doubt turn many colours before disappearing entirely.

While the peels were healing her injuries, she could have used the fruit portion to make me my favourite childhood salad, or even a homemade Monkey Tail. Neither of those treats came up as she turned down my well-meaning treatment.

Now every time I see someone with a bruise, I might just have to offer some Monkey Business suggestions. And I still laugh when I think of our acquaintance reclining on the couch, with her face covered in banana peels. Another Kodak moment missed. Shame.

Organizers with Saskatchewan Culture Days are gearing up to launch this year’s four-week national festival of arts, culture and creativity, an event that takes place each fall.

The celebration kicked off on Friday, Sept. 24 and boasts fun, immersive and engaging experiences for everyone indoors, outdoors and online. All Culture Days activities are free and allow people to perform hands-on and interactive activities to enhance their interest and involvement in community arts and cultural opportunities.

Similar to last year, this year’s celebration encompasses a wide range of digital and in-person activities to keep participants safe.

“Saskatchewan is renowned for our innovation, our creativity and our community pride,” said Dean Kush, CEO of SaskCulture. “Culture Days brings all of this to centre stage each year and helps to amplify it through the incredible diversity of experiences the Saskatchewan cultural community offers, particularly with the added dimension of COVID-19 these last two years.”

Many events and activities are taking place throughout the province and can be found at www.culturedays.ca. Activities take place in a digital format, while in-person activities will have COVID-19 prevention measures in place.

“SaskCulture is very proud to once again sponsor Culture Days community hubs,” added Kush. “Culture Days in Saskatchewan hubs are taking place in the Battlefords, Melfort, Montmartre, Moose Jaw, Pilot Butte, Prince Albert, Regina, Regina Beach, Sandy Bay, Saskatoon, Silton (with partners in Strasbourg and Nokomis), Swift Current, Weyburn, and Yorkton.”

Four events are taking place directly in Moose Jaw. The Western Development Museum is holding a virtual Coffee Club get-together on Tuesday, Sept. 28, from 10 to 11 a.m., that focuses on education and school days from the early 1900s. Participants will learn what students in Saskatchewan might have experienced more than 100 years ago.

To register, visit https://wdm.ca/virtual-coffee-club-registration-form.

Eden Care Communities at 27 Brigham Road is holding a free MEANING:ReIMAGINED event on Saturday, Oct. 9, from 2 to 4 p.m. featuring Saskatchewan musician and Juno-nominated singer/songwriter Megan Nash.

Current public health guidelines and restrictions are in

place and will apply to how many people can attend. Participants are encouraged to call Crystal Massier at 306692-7158 to see if space is available. Those who cannot attend in person can attend virtually by visiting the organization’s Facebook, Twitter or Instagram pages.

The Moose Jaw Museum and Art Gallery is hosting artist Belinda Harrow for an online Zoom conversation on Wednesday, Oct. 13, from 7 to 9 p.m.

Over the last 10 years, animals have had a strong presence in Harrow’s artistic practice. She is interested in that precarious area where human and animal habitats overlap. As human populations grow and spread, animal species are forced to adapt and change, disrupting migratory patterns, feeding habits and mating behaviours.

Featuring drawing, painting and sculpture, the exhibition Unsettled focuses on the animals that live in and around Regina, situating them within some of the city’s most recognizable landscapes. The positioning of these resourceful, native animal species within these urban environments provides an opportunity to examine the current shared world, reflect on settlement’s effect, and consider what the future holds for everyone.

More information can be found on the art gallery’s website at www.mjmag.ca.

The museum and art gallery is hosting an online Zoom conversation on Wednesday, Oct. 20, from 7 to 9 p.m., entitled “Blazes Along the Trail,” which focuses on artist David Milne and his imaginative vision.

As an early 20th-century Canadian modernist artist, Milne’s significance rests on his focused and personal artmaking strategies informed by an innovative aesthetic and stylistic approach. His vision differed markedly from the artistic intentions and ideological positioning of the landscape art of the Group of Seven, whose works were perceived to align with a nation-building narrative that gained prominence in Canada following the First World War. The selection of Milne’s works featured in this exhibition reveals the range of his inspiration in exploring media that supported his painting while also fostering new considerations in his approach to his artmaking.

Police charge Moose Jaw man with child porn offences Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The Saskatchewan Internet and Child Exploitation Unit (ICE) has charged Moose Jaw resident James Swagierczak with child pornography charges after allegedly accessing the material using a popular online social media application.

The Moose Jaw Police Service executed a search warrant at a residence in the community on March 16 after the location was identified as the place where the offences occurred, according to an ICE news release.

Police seized several electronic devices for forensic analysis and later found evidence on the devices.

Officers arrested Swagierczak, 32, on Sept. 22 and charged him with possession of child pornography and sharing or making available child pornography. He was released on an undertaking in the community and must follow several conditions, including not possessing or accessing devices that connect to the internet and not contacting anyone under age 16.

Swagierczak is set to appear in Moose Jaw provincial court on Monday, Nov. 8.

The Moose Jaw Express plans to produce a report about Swagierczak’s involvement in the community in the coming weeks.

The South Hill Community Association trash ‘walk and talk’ in Wakamow Park

By April Meersman

Volunteers helping their community one bag at a time - photo provided by SHCA As it does get pretty windy in Saskatchewan, it seems realistic that litter can be a challenge as it spreads throughout Moose Jaw like dandelion seeds in the wind. The South Hill Community Association (SHCA) held a fall clean-up in Wakamow Park on September 26th.

“We have a lot of members who are active on the tails and in the parks and litter is a constant challenge here in our city,” said President Crystal Froese of the South Hill Community Association. “Especially with the pandemic, we have seen more people taking to the tails. We (SHCA) decided a few years back that we wanted to tackle the litter on our side of the city and have been doing it for the last five years.”

Tatawaw Park was cleaned in May with the community coming out to lend a hand for a couple of hours. “We had so many people. It was fantastic. We were able to do from one end of Tatawaw Park to the other.”

For the fall clean-up, the SHCA contacted the general manager of Wakamow Park Todd Johnson to see if they needed some help with the park. He welcomed the group’s community-minded involvement. The SHCA met the volunteers across from the Burger Cabin at provided garbage bags.

The SHCA continues to encourage all the other associations to get together sometime soon and do their own neighbourhood in the city. “This is a great time of year to go through your area and pick up additional garbage and help their neighbours before the snow flies.”

The South Hill Community Association has been out col-

lecting trash in the community for the last five years.

This is that time of the year that you can get the kids out, take a coffee and get together with some friends in one of Moose Jaw’s parks and have a great time cleaning up and “talking trash” with your neighbours.

Contact the SHCA at: southhillmj@gmail.com for any future clean-up endeavours.

10th Anniversary Picks for Trees of Significance in Moose Jaw Submitted

Canada’s official National Tree Day was recognized on September 22nd and since 2011, the City of Moose Jaw annually announces the current year’s nomination as selected Trees of Significance.

“This program encourages residents to take notice of and appreciate the beauty of our Urban Forest,” explained Sarah Regent, City Horticulturist. “To celebrate the 10th anniversary of National Tree Day and Trees of Significance, we have decided to recognize trees in three different locations because we have so many trees to celebrate here in Moose Jaw.” The City of Moose Jaw 2021 Trees of Significance are: · A large American elm on the boulevard at 1030 Henry St. This tree was nominated due its beauty and the love the homeowner has for the tree. They compared the tree to a child – a lot of work, but worth the effort. · A pair of large spruce trees in front of 1115 Simpson Ave.

The nominator has a fond memory of planting these trees with their family approximately 40 years ago. The trees are now excellent examples of how beautiful spruce trees can be in our city. · A trio of American elms on the median of the 0 block of High St W. These trees were nominated because of their

beauty and the shade they provide for the block. These elms have survived the harsh downtown landscape and several construction projects and are therefore a symbol of perseverance, as well as beauty.

The Parks & Recreation Department encourages Moose Jaw residents to take notice of, and appreciate, our urban forest.

Elections Canada officially declares Fraser Tolmie winner during 2021 federal election Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The Conservative Party’s Fraser Tolmie is the new Member of Parliament for the Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan constituency after thousands of voters cast their ballots during the 2021 federal election.

According to Elections Canada, Tolmie received 23,807 votes, or 61 percent of ballots cast, during the Sept. 20 federal election. As a result, the former mayor of Moose Jaw will head to Ottawa to represent the region, taking over from outgoing MP Tom Lukiwski, who retired earlier this year.

Lukiwski won the riding in 2019 with 71.1 per cent of the vote.

Talon Regent with the New Democratic Party came in second with 7,290 votes or 18.7 per cent of the popular vote. This was an increase from the previous federal election when he received 17 per cent of the vote.

Chey Craik with the People’s Party of Canada received 4,537 votes or 11.6 per cent, which was an increase from the previous federal election when he got 3.5 per cent of the popular vote.

Katelyn Zimmer with the Liberal Party got 2,323 votes or six per cent, which was an increase from 5.6 per cent of the popular vote that the party received here two years ago.

The Maverick Party’s David Craig Townsend received 630 votes or 1.6 per cent of the popular vote.

Isaiah Hunter with the Green Party got 421 votes or 1.1 per cent of the popular vote.

This was a decrease from 2.67 per cent the party got here during the previous federal election.

There were 59,414 voters in the riding who were eligible to vote this year; 39,008 cast a ballot.

The Express visited Tolmie’s campaign office after national media declared him the winner. The new MP was speaking to several people when the Express walked in, and looking over, Tolmie gave a curt “Hello,” before returning to his conversation. He then turned and walked away out of sight.

The Express spoke with one campaign official and attempted to ask for an interview with Tolmie but was told that wasn’t possible. The official then called over the campaign manager, Scott, who explained that they were setting up Zoom interviews with each media outlet individually. The conversations would occur either that night or the next day.

The Express scheduled the interview with Tolmie for 9 a.m. on Sept. 21 and gave a business card to the campaign manager, while the manager promised to send the Zoom link.

Early the next morning, however, no Zoom link had been provided, and neither Tolmie nor anyone from his campaign had reached out to speak about the election results.

PPC’s Chey Craik disappointed with third-place showing despite increasing vote count Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

People’s Party of Canada candidate Chey Craik thought it was positive that he more than tripled the percentage of votes he received in this federal over 2019 but was still disappointed with a third-place showing.

Craik received 4,537 votes or 11.6 per cent of the popular vote in the Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan constituency during the 2021 federal election. In comparison, he received 3.5 per cent of the popular vote in 2019 during his first election run.

“I think people are going to realize their representation is lacking and that they had a better option. I guess they didn’t take it this time, but we’re building momentum, we’re building communication, and we’re building the results, so next time we’ll make a difference,” he said on Sept. 20 during a post-election gathering at a sports bar.

“We didn’t pull it off this time, but it’s coming.”

Craik was disappointed with — and surprised by — the overall results from the federal election, saying he had hoped to see a Conservative Party minority with the PPC acting as “kingmaker.” This would have helped return “true conservative values” to the national conversation and make them more acceptable.

Vote splitting was not an issue in this election — either regionally or nationally — even though it was “fantastic marketing” that the Conservatives used this election effectively, and in 2019 and past elections, he continued. However, he thought voters would come to realize that how they voted this time didn’t give them the change they wanted.

“I think we’ll see that over the next couple of years, and hopefully they’ll vote with their heart and conscience next time,” he said, adding more face-to-face conversations

with voters should convince people to give him and the party more support.

Craik plans to run again whenever the next federal election is called; that could be in 18 to 24 months based on how this minority Parliament turned out. He believes that if he can quadruple his vote total from this time, the result next time is “going to be massive.”

This year’s campaigning went well for Craik and his team even though it was a short election period compared to 2019, he said. Last time he had five months to door-knock, while this time, he had five weeks. Furthermore, he changed his car’s oil once compared to three times last time, while he also went through only one pair of shoes this time.

“The reception I received in the riding was totally different from last time. Last time we were in small towns, we spent an hour or two door-knocking on every door in the town and Chey Craik poses for a picture at a post-election gathering after (we got) six votes,” he said. “So we’ll see the the results were declared in the Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan election results once we get the numbers in,” constituency during the 2021 federal election. Photo by Jason G. and certain conversations will be different next Antonio time.

“It (the outcome) didn’t go the way I thought it would and Craik doesn’t plan to disappear now that this election is the way I hoped it would. But the people have spoken, and over, either. Instead, his goal is to continue reaching out to they have chosen who they want to be their representatives, voters and letting them know he and the PPC exist. and hopefully next time we’ll do something different … ,” With two campaigns under his belt, Craik and his team plan he added. “I think people are understanding who we are to analyze what worked and what didn’t in this election. and what we represent as time goes on, and they’ll change They will then make the necessary changes for the next their tune next time.” federal election and hope that the third time is the charm.

NDP’s Talon Regent pleased that party gained extra seat during federal election Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The New Democratic Party’s Talon Regent is pleased that his party gained an additional seat in this year’s federal election and believes more Canadians are warming up to the organization.

“It shows that our message is resonating with the people of Canada. It shows that our support is growing, and as long as it continues to grow one election at a time, we will form government, and we will bring about the positive change that the people of Canada deserve,” Regent said at his campaign office while watching the post-election results with his team on Sept. 20.

Regent placed second in the Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan constituency after receiving 7,290 votes or 18.7 per cent of the popular vote. This was an increase from the previous federal election when he received 17 per cent of the vote.

The NDP will continue to fight for these objectives, and whether Regent is a Member of Parliament, a community lawyer, or a regular Canadian citizen, he plans to continue pushing for these goals.

Random thoughts on federal voters’ choice of minority government

Last week’s federal election results can be summed up by the French proverb: “the more things change the more they stay the same.” Lessons can

by Ron Walter be drawn from the results of The views and opinions ex- re-electing a minority Liberal pressed in this article are those government. of the author, and do not necWith five of the last seven fedessarily reflect the position of eral elections resulting in mithis publication. nority governments it is safe to say that Canadians prefer minority governments.

Minority governments should, in theory, provide legislation better suited to voters’ needs. Minority governments in the 1960s gave Canadians the Canada Pension Plan and public Medicare – two popular pillars of our lifestyle today.

It is doubtful if Canadians can count on minority regimes giving us better legislation this time around, simply because of the acrimonious atmosphere between political parties.

Sarcastic attacks on the prime minister will continue and Liberals will respond in kind. Unfortunately, the Golden Rule isn’t practised in politics.

Given his new minority Justin Trudeau can put through programming without considering the opposition parties.

For they don’t have the money to fight another election.

Nor do they want to raise the ire of voters by defeating government and forcing an election so soon after this one.

Yet it seems the message voters sent on election night was for the politicians to put aside their differences and work things out. A trip out behind the wood shed for a paddling would be in order.

The situation gives Trudeau the green light to proceed with his programs and deficits. Significant issues may be addressed.

After 20 years of Liberal promises the first steps towards a national low cost day care program will be taken.

Housing affordability, climate change and inflation can be addressed.

How the issues are addressed becomes important. The federal government’s debt has jumped to $1.2 trillion, about half of the country’s income production.

Around one-third of that debt has been accumulated in the last few years with pandemic spending accounting for most.

The ambitious promised programs will continue large annual deficits for the foreseeable future.

Plans to tax insurance companies, banks and the wealthy won’t raise as much tax revenue as thought. Extra taxes just spur the wealthy to spend more on legally avoiding taxes.

At least Canadian voters didn’t choose the party with the most expensive promises, settling instead for the middle

cost of the three major party platforms.

Serious issues from handling the pandemic to day care, seniors’ pensions, homelessness, housing availability and affordability to climate change are now the most important matters facing this government.

Managing voter expectations is an issue that government must face.

It is the old story of “how do you keep them down on the farm once they’ve seen the bright lights of the city?”

Given the short time frame to develop COVID-19 vaccines, given the tonnes of cash poured into workers and businesses to avoid a depression, many voters wonder why can’t we solve other problems that fast.

Satisfying voters without turning the country’s finances into a near bankruptcy will occupy politics, unless the government continues its spending spree. _____

Instead of congratulating the Justin Trudeau on his re-election in a statesmanlike manner, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe called this election the most pointless in history.

Since when is it ever pointless in a democracy to ask the voters for their opinion? Would Moe have described the election as pointless if Erin O’Toole had won? Moe’s comments are nothing more than sour grapes.

Media mogul Allan Slaight dies at age 90

By Connie Thiessen/Broadcast Dialogue; republished with permission.

Media mogul Allan Slaight has died at age 90. His father bought the Moose Jaw Times-Herald in 1945, followed by radio station CHAB. Photo courtesy Broadcast Dialogue Media mogul and philanthropist Allan Slaight, the former CEO of Standard Broadcasting and a past president of Global Television and Slaight Communications, has died.

He passed away peacefully at his Toronto home Sunday.

He was 90.

Born in Galt, Ont., Slaight was the son of a newspaperman who moved the family to Moose Jaw, Sask., where he bought the Moose Jaw Times-Herald in 1945 and then local radio station, CHAB-AM. Slaight started his career at CHAB-AM in 1948 at age 17 as a reporter, going on to host late-night jazz program, Spins and Needles. Stops at CFRN, CJCA and CHED Edmonton followed before he headed east to Toronto in 1958 to join CHUM as program and promotions manager,

guiding the station through its format transition to rock ‘n’ roll and unseating rival station, CKEY. He went on to serve as program director and by 1965 was appointed Vice-President of Radio CHUM-1050 Ltd. Pirate Radio The following year, Slaight stepped away from conventional broadcasting and uprooted to England to establish a sales agency for pirate radio station Radio Caroline, which broadcast 12 miles off the English coast in international waters in protest of the BBC’s broadcasting monopoly.

He returned to Toronto in 1967, launching advertising and communications firm Allan Slaight Ltd., which partnered with Stephens & Towndrow to service radio and TV advertising, and where Slaight was appointed president and managing director.

By 1970, he had formed Slaight Broadcasting, raising $2.5 million to buy CFGM 1310 AM in Richmond Hill, ON. He went on to acquire a stake in CFOX Montreal, going on to merge the stations with IWC Communications, which saw Slaight acquire cable systems in Mississauga, Barrie, and Orillia as well-as CHOK Sarnia.

Later that year, he’d also acquire the debt-ridden Global Television Network, which was losing an estimated $1.5M a month.

In 1976, Slaight applied for an FM licence for a sister station to Toronto’s CFGM-AM with Q107 going to air on June 1, 1977, earning him status as the godfather of rock radio in Toronto.

From there, acquisitions like outdoor advertising business Urban Outdoors followed, and a 49% stake in Standard Broadcasting.

After a court battle, he would go on to buy 84.8 per cent of Standard’s shares for an estimated $110 million. The deal required Slaight to sell Q107 and CFGM, but brought CFRB, CKFM, CJAD-AM, CJFM-FM, Capital Radio in

London, CJOH-TV, and CKTB and CJQR St. Catharines under his domain.

He continued to grow the company, branching out in the late 1980s into production and program syndication with the launch of Sound Source Networks, Standard Broadcasting’s syndication division.

In 2007, he authorized the sale of Standard Radio to Astral Media in a $1.08 billion deal. After 52 years in broadcasting and creating the largest privately held and solely owned media company in the country, Slaight stepped down as president and CEO of Standard Broadcasting, assuming the position of executive chairman of the board of directors of Slaight Communications.

At the time of his retirement, revenues exceeded $500 million, employing 1,500 full-time and 6,000 part-time employees.

Legacy In addition to broadcasting, Slaight was responsible for bringing the Toronto Raptors’ NBA franchise to Canada, holding a 39.5-per-cent share, alongside John Bitove Jr., and at one point owning 79 per cent of the team.

Over the years, the Slaight Family Foundation has also donated millions to causes from founding the Allan Slaight Radio Institute at Ryerson University to furthering music, arts, and cancer research.

Among the many accolades Slaight received over the years was induction into the Broadcast Hall of Fame in 1997. He received an Honorary Doctor of Commerce from Ryerson Polytechnic University in 2000 and was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada in 2001. In 2005, he received the the Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award for his contribution to the growth and development of the Canadian music industry.

He was honoured with a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame last December.

Prairie South School Division

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

Extra funding helped PSSD finish 2020-21 year with surplus of $1M Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

An increase in temporary funding from the provincial government helped Prairie South School Division end its fiscal year with almost $1 million more than budgeted.

Prairie South had an estimated surplus of $991,461 at the end of August, compared to the expected deficit of $1,885,679, while overall revenues were $3.7 million more than budgeted, business superintendent Ron Purdy explained during the recent PSSD board of education meeting.

Purdy’s report focused on the division’s finances to the end of May. However, since there were no summer board meetings, he could not present a fourth-quarter report, so he estimated revenue and expense patterns to the end of Aug. 31 and presented that data to trustees in September.

During the third quarter, PSSD received $3.39 million in COVID-19 funding, $1.65 million for emergent funding projects, $225,000 for building maintenance, $447,000 for a Community Net program, and $333,000 for the federal Climate Action Incentive Fund, he said.

However, the Ministry of Education held back $1.75 million from the new joint-use

school project since no progress has been made yet, he said. However, PSSD should receive $7.7 million this year for the new school.

One reason this project has not progressed quickly is that PSSD is working with the City of Moose Jaw to ensure land is available, while the division must also work collaboratively with Holy Trinity, explained education director Ryan Boughen.

“Both those relationships, there are some conversations we have to have to move forward. We’re working on it. It’s in progress,” he added.

A project manager is overseeing this initiative and has previously spoken to trustees, said trustee Lew Young. He wanted division administration to invite back the project manager to provide an update and allow the board to ask questions.

Trustee Crystal Froese, a city councillor, agreed and urged the administration to give this topic space on future agendas.

“We’re kind of in the design phase. We know we have the land (and) we know where we’re going to build it,” she said.

“So if we really want to progress and move this project forward, I think it needs to be

included on our agenda … to make sure we’re staying updated with it, that we’re participating in the process and that we start getting a shovel in the ground out there.”

Continuing, Purdy noted that Prairie South finished the 2020-21 year with estimated grant revenues of $85.1 million compared to the budget of $80.6 million.

School-generated funds were estimated at $394,163 compared to the budget of $1.5 million. This area saw a major decline, he said, because of reduced school activities and fundraising.

“This offsets some of the overage in grants, so total revenue is not up by as much as the additional grant money,” he remarked.

PSSD received an estimated $681,387 in other revenue, compared to the budgeted $519,300. This included $137,000 in rebates and $88,000 from selling used buses and one totalled in an accident.

Total estimated revenues were $90.8 million compared to the budgeted amount of $87.1 million.

Meanwhile, total estimated expenses were $89.8 million, compared to the budgeted amount of $89.0 million.

“Our expenses are slightly under $1 million over budget. The biggest variance areas are instruction, facilities, transportation, and school-generated funds,” said Purdy.

Instruction expenses were an estimated $60.1 million compared to the budget of $59.2 million. This, Purdy explained, is because the division added an extra $1 million for the virtual school and had extra pandemic costs that were partially offset by savings in student-related expenses, professional development, and travel.

Building expenses were an estimated $14.7 million compared to the budget of $13.4 million. This overage is due to operating expenses and salaries, although there were fewer expenses for equipment, Purdy said.

Transportation expenses were an estimated $6.0 million compared to the budget of $6.5 million. Savings, he added, were mainly in repairs, fuel, and fewer extra trips. However, benefits and unbudgeted GPS costs offset some savings.

Prairie South updates budget after ministry demands changes to certain areas Trustees with Prairie South School Division have approved a revised 2021-22 budget after the Ministry of Education asked the organization to change three items.

During a special meeting recently, the board approved an updated budget that included $93,171,873 in revenues, $90,819, 201 in expenses, $2,352,672 in surplus, and $11,095,006 in capital purchases.

In comparison, in May the board approved a budget with revenues of $93,149,219, expenses of $90,796,547, a surplus of $2,352,672 and capital purchases of $9,861,542.

Business superintendent Ron Purdy told trustees that these changes do not affect the school division’s bottom line or its surplus.

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The first change sees Prairie South add its internet subscription of $447,654 to its grant revenues and instruction expense categories. Purdy explained that the ministry paid for this in the past, but it was “always off to the side somewhere,” and the school division never saw it.

“So, they said that’s part of the cost of education, and they wanted it to be in our budget as a revenue and expense,” he said.

The second change was for PSSD to remove $425,000 of federal Climate Action Incentive Fund (CAIF) money from its grant revenues and buildings expenses.

The division reported this funding as a budget variance last year since staff didn’t know whether it would come, while they

210956G0 211016G0

put it in this year’s budget thinking they wouldn’t have to explain it, said Purdy.

However, the province hasn’t negotiated with the feds for this money and instructed the division to remove it.

The ministry’s third request was for PSSD to show all its unspent funds for the new joint-use school as planned spending and a cash draw in 2021-22. This would increase capital expenses to more than $11 million and cash draw to $4,504,159, compared to $9,861,542 and $3.2 million previously, respectively.

Division administration inserted its desired cash draw grant funding into the budget for 2021-22 since the land for the new school isn’t guaranteed and division officials don’t know where the building will be constructed, claimed Purdy.

“I don’t know that we’ll actually spend that ($4.5 million). It’s really hard to say until we have our land and we have some kind of schedule for construction,” he added.

The ministry has not normally asked Prairie South to revise its budget, Purdy told trustees. So while the internet request is new, it makes sense since it’s part of the division’s costs.

Trustee Lew Young was concerned about

COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL

some of these changes and wondered if the division missed an email or other important information from the ministry. He also wondered if they needed to hire a dedicated chief financial officer (CFO) and inform the auditors about these budgetary changes.

No emails were missed, while the inclusion of the CAIF funding was a judgment call with which the province disagreed, said Purdy.

Purdy added that the auditors aren’t aware of these changes since they handle yearend finances. However, the division office can make them aware of this situation.

“I completely understand what Lew is saying. This does seem to be a little out of the norm for a conversation back and forth with the ministry,” said trustee Crystal Froese. “But they have to put their stamp on it for us to move forward, so I don’t see anything that would hold us back from doing that.”

Trustee Shawn Davidson, president of the Saskatchewan School Boards Association, echoed Purdy’s comments and noted it’s common for the ministry to ask divisions to change something.

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.

One of the fundamental reasons our society is deteriorating is we are collectively guilty and have a long history of being unwilling to be confrontational. It is well known that amiableness and complacency are Canadian hallmarks. However, we have been appeasing and non-vocal to a fault. There is a fine line between being

Non-Confrontation: The Great Canadian Mistake

accommodating and being pushovers.

We do not like to directly confront people, this is a cultural norm for us. Tragically, we have created for ourselves a great deal of problems for having appropriated this mindset to an outrageously excessive degree. The fact is, in order to denounce wrongs and correct mistakes, we must risk offending others. Because we were so reluctant to oppose a mountain of absurdities and irrational paradigms dumped on us over the past decades, we are now left with all of those ill-conceived beliefs being widely supported today. Our overthe-top amicableness to those who ram rubbish down our throats enables those people to think their notions have validity.

To our collective shame, not speaking up against lies, manipulations, or things that are just plain wrong is, in fact, immoral.

For greater clarity, being silent, unobtrusive, and excessively unwilling to dispute clear nonsense is damaging to all of us and demonstrates a lack of character.

Somewhere along the way, we adopted the

notion that any sort of overt challenge is rude and inappropriate. Did we take that view because we see confrontation as an American style and many of us are loath to be seen in that light? It is a commonly held opinion that Americans are more confrontational than we are. This is generally seen as a negative characteristic by us.

Nevertheless, isn’t being a “wet noodle” an equal and opposite negative?

There is nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade. Standing up against the ever-growing mindless, dishonest, drivel being dished out may be unwelcomed by the purveyors of it, but it is necessary and produces positive results by stopping falsehoods from taking root. We would be better off if we were more willing to boldly face down something that is not right. Having the belief that confrontation has its’ place would serve us well and it would hold people and governments more accountable. Francis Shaeffer said, “Truth carries with it confrontation.”

With our society coming apart at the

seams, truth must be defended and those who are overtly or covertly dishonest with us must be opposed. We can no longer afford to be overly agreeable to the point of self-destruction. This does not mean that we need to become abrasive or nasty in the way we challenge people, organizations, or our governments. Nonetheless, it is imperative we rein-in our long standing tradition of being excessively conflict-avoiding. Instead, we need to openly call into question falsities or misguided beliefs. If someone takes offence just because they are disagreed with or called to task on something, that is their problem. If we do not speak up, we will keep going down this same old worn out road that is full of too many potholes already.

There is a great quote from an unknown author that speaks directly and succinctly to this; “Those who avoid confrontation at all cost, are only preserving the thing they wish would go away.”

City Hall Council Notes The next regular city council meeting is Tuesday, Oct 12

Tax arrears rose in Q2, but more taxpayers also went on repayment plans Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Tax arrears jumped by nearly $334,000 in the second quarter of this year compared to last year, although more property owners are now on a repayment plan with city hall.

By June 30, Moose Jaw taxpayers owed $2,564,950 in outstanding arrears, composed of $915,748 in tax liens and $1,649,202 in arrears payment plans, a report from city hall showed.

In comparison, at the end of Q2 in 2020, taxpayers owed $2,225,883, which comprised $1,324,178 in tax liens and $901,705 in payment plans. Meanwhile, at the end of Q2 in 2019, taxpayers owed $1,909,556 in total arrears, including $1,089,576 in tax liens and $819,980 in payment plans.

The difference between this year’s total outstanding arrears and last year’s outstanding arrears is $339,067.

The total amount of property taxes that city hall could have received by June 30 was $30.17 million, with $2.5 million of that being arrears, the report said. In comparison, total taxes and arrears in past years show: · 2020: $27.4 million / $2.2 million · 2019: $15.5 million / $1.9 million · 2018: $13.7 million / $1.6 million · 2017: $13.3 million / $1.1 million · 2016: $12.3 million / $1.1 million City administration presented a report containing Q2 financial details during the recent city council meeting.

Council later voted to receive and file the document.

Coun. Crystal Froese pointed out that while property tax

arrears took a significant jump between 2020 and 2021, one upside was more taxpayers were on a repayment plan.

However, since a pandemic was still ongoing, she wondered if city administration had contacted other municipalities to see whether they were facing similar problems.

“We’ve been in conversation with communities and what we’re seeing is not unusual,” said finance director Brian Acker. “The reality of the pandemic has created quite a number of issues — whether it’s taxation or utility payments — for members of the community to pay that.”

One issue on which city hall has worked diligently is encouraging residents to go on repayment plans, he added.

As a result, many residents are willing to work with city hall and go on those plans, while city hall is being as flexible as possible with this problem.

After the meeting, Acting Mayor Dawn Luhning said that she is concerned about the increase in tax arrears while council should also be worried — even though this issue is out of its control.

“Tax arrears are tax arrears. You just have to deal with it the way we deal with it … ,” she added. “There are rules in The Cities Act that allow us to do what we have to do if we take property or whatever happens.”

City council directed city administration last year to find ways to help people struggling with paying their property taxes, so city hall has worked to do just that, said city manager Jim Puffalt. As the economy returns to normal, city hall hopes to see those arrears decrease.

“As the director of finance said … this is prevalent across

the province (and) we suspect across Canada and North America,” he continued. “Lots of people are having issues with payments and so we have to find ways to give them a hand.”

Outstanding debt The City of Moose Jaw owes more than $50 million based on previous loans it borrowed for projects. Those projects include: · Multiplex long-term loan: $13.3 million · Sanitary sewer long-term loan: $2.8 million · Waterworks capital long-term loan: $25.7 million · Buffalo Pound Water Corporation loan term loan (at 26 per cent): $10.6 million

Mosaic Place still financially in the red despite getting full yearly subsidy Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

City hall has provided Spectra Venue Management Services with its entire yearly subsidy to operate Mosaic Place, but even that full support hasn’t pushed the building’s revenues back into the black.

As of July 31, Mosaic Place had expenses of $1,086,812, compared to the forecasted budget of $1,070,199. Therefore, the difference between these two figures is minus $16,613.

The major component of this issue is the quarterly subsidy that the municipality provides the venue to operate, finance director Brian Acker explained during the recent regular city council meeting. City hall provided Spectra with all four quarterly subsidies to help the building manager get Mosaic Place running and operational again. This included staffing costs and additional maintenance and supply — food and drink — costs.

Also included in that subsidy is a contribution to Mosaic Place’s equipment reserve account.

“It is slightly over the overall subsidy level in a small amount of $16,000,” he said. “Right now, we look at that

as the final subsidy payment, so we wouldn’t have any additional ones. That said, things change — certainly, things change with the pandemic and that could be a different situation.”

Every city-owned building came through the roughest patches during the pandemic, said city manager Jim Pufflat. As a result, city administration is excited to re-open every municipal-owned venue by the end of September, including the Kinsmen Sportsplex rink.

“There have been a lot of revenue issues we experienced over this year. We’re glad we came through them. We’re tickled pink that we are able to be open and we can stay open,” he added. “We encourage everyone to get vaccinated (and wear masks). These are things we are doing to keep our facilities open.”

As part of the second-quarter financial report that city administration provided during the council meeting, an income-and-expense statement report for Mosaic Place was also included.

From January to July 31, the recreation venue had held

eight meetings/conferences over 11 days that attracted 120 people. In addition, 302 ice rentals brought in 5,497 people, while 13 other events over 18 days brought in 1,289 attendees.

In total, 9,426 people attended an event or activity at Mosaic Place during the first seven months of this year.

All these events generated $373,699 in revenue, compared to the expected budgeted amount of $861,183, a difference of minus $487,484.

Total expenses from January to July 31 were $904,761, which was less than the budgeted estimate of $1.36 million. This means — based on the difference between the two — Mosaic Place saved $462,950 in expenses.

Other expenses included COVID-19 cleaning measures for $11,453 (unbudgeted), Ticket Rocket refund gift cards for $9,512 (unbudgeted), and the management fee of $77,462 (the budgeted estimated expense was $55,825).

After considering all income and expenses, the total adjusted net loss for Mosaic Place to July 31 was $629,189, compared to the estimated loss of $562,353.

New bylaw allows city hall to reach more residents through digital ads City hall can now advertise digitally after city council approved a bylaw that gives the municipality more options to reach residents.

During a recent regular meeting, council gave three unanimous readings to the City Administration Bylaw Amendment 2021 to change the municipality’s public notice policy to reflect more advertising options — specifically, digital — for situations where public notices are required.

This amendment resulted from council approving a motion in March that asked city administration to bring forward an amendment to the public notice policy to enable city hall to communicate more online.

“The City of Moose Jaw’s communications policy establishes the need to communicate with residents using all available advertising platforms. Historically, local advertising options were restricted to newspapers and radio, and some city and provincial legislative requirements are still reflective of that time,” a council report said.

“While newspapers and radio are still prevalent, technological advances have enabled consumers to receive

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

information on multiple digital platforms in the last two decades. However, not all persons prefer or have fully adopted to the digital platforms. That requires the city to be flexible, continually adapt practices, and utilize all conventional and digital advertising methods to communicate effectively.”

Section 4.1 (a) of the public notice policy states that notices of matters can be published in a local newspaper circulated in the city at least seven clear days before a meeting where council will initially consider a matter.

City administration recommended that that section be amended so that it reads: “notice of the matter shall be published, either digitally or in print, on a local media website serving Moose Jaw residents or local newspaper circulated in the city at least seven (7) clear days prior to the meeting at which council will initially consider the matter.”

Some matters where public notices must be given before council initially discusses them include: · Prohibiting or limiting the number of businesses or type

of business in an area · Permanently closing or blocking off a street, lane or walkway · Borrowing money, lending money or guaranteeing the repayment of a loan · Imposing a special tax or determining how to use excess revenue from a special tax · Selling or leasing land for less than fair market value and without a public offering · Setting remuneration for council or committee members · Increasing or decreasing the number of city councillors · Appointing a wards commission and dividing the city into wards · Amending or repealing a bylaw · Any matter that requires a public hearing under The Cities Act or any other act · Discussing a petition in public

City Hall Council Notes The next regular city council meeting is Tuesday, Oct 12

Council denies request for three-way stop signs at Oxford and 11th Northeast Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Three-way stop signs will not be installed at the intersection of 11th Avenue Northeast and Oxford Street East because traffic volumes are low and accidents have been minimal, city hall says.

The city clerk’s office received a petition in July from residents who live within 90 metres of the intersection asking for the traffic measures to be installed there, a council report explained. Out of nine eligible residents, five were in favour of the three-way stop.

This issue then came to the public works, infrastructure and environmental advisory committee, which passed it on to city council.

During the most recent council meeting, council voted unanimously to deny the request for a three-way stop at this intersection.

“It is not a high traffic area. It’s out in the sticks,” said Coun. Doug Blanc. “There was a tree that was blocking views, but it will be trimmed and resolve any issues there.”

The issue of installing such signage arose after resident Armond Fetter contacted the department of engineering

in April by phone and later by letter, a council report explained. In his letter, he said that traffic was “getting unbearable” because of the new industrial development nearby. “… this is just a little country road (and) that’s the way it’s been used — no speed limit,” Fetter said. “Times have changed since 20 years ago or even seven years ago.”

Area residents wanted to see action since their request — stretching back several years — was taking longer to resolve than they wanted, he continued. Spraying a dust inhibitor on the road was too costly, while heavy trucks would ruin that preventative measure with their repeated road use.

There are 15 residential lots in the area available for sale, Fetter added. There are also commercial lots available to purchase, which means more traffic would come down Oxford Street East in the future.

City hall responded to Fetter by letter in June and said that the enhanced traffic measures he had suggested were considered and reviewed against the Manual of Uniform

Traffic Control Devices, the Traffic Bylaw and the CMJ Development Transportation Standards, the report continued.

The engineering department conducted a traffic warrant review on Nov. 3, 2020, and found that the results did not support a three-way stop at 11th Avenue Northeast and Oxford Street East.

The review discovered that 111 vehicles entered this intersection over 13 hours, whereas 250 vehicles were necessary for the city to act. Furthermore, a review of accidents from 2015 to 2019 determined no collisions had occurred in this area, whereas two collisions per year would have pushed the municipality to act.

The Traffic Bylaw indicated that an all-way stop sign should not be used as a speed control device or at intersections that are offset, poorly defined or geometrically substandard, as is the case with this intersection, the council report said.

Based on these two criteria, the engineering department recommended against installing three-way stop signs.

Property reassessments this year led to decline in taxable values of over $500M Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Changes in this year’s property reassessments resulted in a decline of more than $500 million in total taxable values, according to data from city hall.

The Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) reassesses properties every four years. This year was a revaluation year, so the agency used data from Jan. 1, 2019 to set the value of properties until 2025.

In 2020, the confirmed assessment value of total taxable properties in Moose Jaw was $4,464,729,290. This year, that number declined to $3,940,802,260, resulting in a drop of taxable assessment values of $523,927,030.

City administration presented the data during a recent city council meeting. Administration pointed out that SAMA has not confirmed the 2021 taxable assessed values or set the preliminary roll, so the data could change based on decisions that the board of revision makes. Many of those decisions will likely take 18 to 24 months, based on past practice.

There have been 152 preliminary appeals to the board of revision this year, including 116 from commercial, 34 from residential and two from other.

In comparison, there were 30 commercial appeals and 12 residential appeals last year.

During the last property reassessment in 2017, there were 106 commercial appeals and 110 residential appeals for a total of 216.

Based on the report presented to council, the data for 2020 (confirmed), 2021 (not confirmed) and the change in assessment showed in some property sub-classes in Moose Jaw show: · Commercial taxable: $683,252,990 / $679,294,36 / minus-$2,958,630 · Commercial federal grant in lieu: $25,828,100 / $16,228,510 / minus-$9,599,590 · Commercial provincial grant in lieu: $37,185,800 / $19,126,140 / minus-$18,059,660 · Commercial exempt: $826,002,020 / $582,648,120 / minus-$243,353,900 · Golf taxable: $861,700 / $1,010,730 / $149,030 · Golf exempt: $36,628,600 / $9,800,490 / minus-$26,828,110 · Residential taxable: $2,345,415,630 / $2,097,678,690 / minus-$247,736,940 · Residential federal grant in lieu: $598,560 / $518,560 / minus-$80,000 · Residential provincial grant in lieu: $15,631,280 /

Council needs tech solution to handle email concerns, Luhning says Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Since city council members receive numerous emails from residents daily, including emails from the same people about the same topic, Acting Mayor Dawn Luhning wants a technological solution to handle the clutter.

Based on a brief discussion by council about this issue, Luhning will likely get her wish.

During the most recent council meeting, members voted unanimously to have the city manager work with the Information Technology department to develop a software program — such as an internal service desk ticket — for council members and the city manager to better track ongoing inquiries from residents and ensure there is a complete follow-up.

“As councillors, we get a number of inquiries. As inquiries tack on, I am finding it difficult to track them. Some might say to use paper and write them down (since) you can figure it out that way,” said Luhning. “But with technology nowadays, it would be very useful for future councils and the current one in a number of ways. … it would be a way for some history to be available for the next council if the issue comes up again.”

Another area in which this technology solution would be useful is when councillors receive the same call or email from the same resident, she continued. If they had an online system, they could log the complaint while seeing if other councillors received the same query.

Moreover, this would ensure that councillors don’t inundate city manager Jim Puffalt with emails about the same complaint.

“I really believe a service ticket provider platform (would help). I use it at my office. It’s a way for me to track what I’m doing with my clients and what my assistant is doing with the clients,” Luhning added. “I think it would be very helpful for us as a team to know that that issue at that (email) address is now with the engineering department … and is being looked at.

“And to go into one spot would be helpful for all of us.”

Many residents submit concerns online using councillors’ emails on the website, and since they must enter each address individually, councillors can’t tell who received what, said Coun. Crystal Froese. Councillors then forward those emails to Puffalt, which can happen at any time of day whenever they check their accounts.

“We’ll just streamline that communication,” she continued. “I think it also will be important for the person we’re replying to as well to know we’ve all read it and it’s been dealt with, and Mr. Puffalt can communicate to all of us, and we can all know it’s being looked after and taken care of.”

City administration is expected to return with a technological solution in the coming months.

$13,786,640 / minus-$1,844,640 · Residential exempt: $39,224,970 / $48,332,990 / $9,108,020 · Condo taxable: $183,269,120 / $162,436,800 / minus-$20,832,320 Grants-in-lieu are grants based on tax notices, not an actual payment of taxes. They are based on the previous year’s tax notices for properties owned or managed by the Ministry of SaskBuilds and Procurement, according to the provincial government’s website. Since the payments are grants, the government can never be considered in arrears on taxes at any time.

Health centres, educational buildings and museums currently owned or managed by the Ministry of SaskBuilds and Procurement are exempt from a grants-in-lieu payment. Examples include Saskatchewan Polytechnic (formerly SIAST), regional colleges, Crown-owned health institutions, and buildings occupied by a health district and regional care homes.

Resident wants warning light installed near Central High School to improve traffic safety Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

A resident near Central High School wants to see better traffic calming measures at the nearby intersection because of how many vehicle collisions occur regularly. Photo by Jason G. Antonio A resident near Central High School wants to see better traffic calming measures at the nearby intersection because of how many vehicle collisions occur regularly.

Kelly Reynolds lives a few houses away from Oxford Street West and First Avenue Northwest and sees traffic accidents often. Because of how close she lives, she is

sometimes the first on the scene to assist injured people to the sidewalk. She also brings towels to mop up blood and water to soothe the victims’ shock.

She witnessed a collision at the intersection on Sept. 10, which was the second that week.

Frustrated by the continued collisions, Reynolds emailed city manager Jim Puffalt and public works director Darrin Stephanson that same day to express her concerns. She also wanted to determine the process of having city hall analyze the intersection to determine what additional safety measures could be taken.

“I don’t feel folks heading west can see the stop sign due to tree branches unless someone is already stopped,” she said. “I’ve attached a quick (hands-free dashcam) video where you can see the stop sign is only visible (the) last few seconds. So maybe the solution is just trimming branches? I don’t think full lights warrant the cost, but maybe a warning light as installed one block to the north?

“Thanks for your time. I’m worried one day soon the folks in an accident won’t be able to just walk away.”

In a conversation with the Moose Jaw Express on Sept. 21, Reynolds said city workers eventually came and trimmed the trees near the intersection. This made the stop sign at the corner more visible.

“I guess we’ll wait and see (if trimming the trees is ef-

fective) ‘cuz that’s a horrible intersection without lights,” she said, adding the tree trunk itself is an obstacle to clear viewing.

While she didn’t hear directly from Puffalt or Stephanson, someone from city hall did call her afterward saying the trees had been trimmed and the public works department would investigate her inquiry about further traffic measures, she said.

Very few people stop at the corner of Oxford Street West and First Avenue Northwest, while many motorists “are just screaming through that intersection,” Reynolds continued. “It’s just brutal.”

An email from city hall to the Express said it received Reynold’s complaint and trimmed the problematic trees the same day. Staff with the parks and recreation department worked quickly to improve the sightlines at the corner.

“Our engineering department oversees all traffic controls, including related safety concerns, and this matter has been sent for them to review,” the email added. “We have since responded to the resident and informed (her) of the steps taken.”

Reynolds told the Express that she would contact the media again if she didn’t think the tree trimming had the effect of improving safety at the intersection.

Resident pleased that new rumble strips could be coming to Ninth Avenue NW Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

A warning sign reminds motorists to stop before they reach the intersection of Highway 1 and Ninth Avenue Northwest. Photo

by Jason G. Antonio New rumble strips could soon be installed on Ninth Avenue Northwest near the Highway 1 entrance, which would thrill Grant Pohl since he is concerned about that intersection’s safety.

Pohl has been lobbying city hall for more than two years to re-install the safety features but has met with little success. Every time he phoned the engineering department’s office, someone would supposedly tell him that the municipality would investigate it — but nothing would happen.

He phoned the department again several months ago, hoping to speak with the top engineer — possibly the department director — but did not receive a call back.

“It’s just a concern of mine. You and I will never know if we saved a life, but it’s a reminder — that’s why they’re VILLAGE OF BELLE PLAINE PUBLIC NOTICE

Public notice is hereby given, pursuant to Section 207 of the Planning and Development Act, 2007, which the Village of Belle Plaine intends to pass bylaws adopting an Official Community Plan and Zoning Bylaw.

Description Both bylaws will affect all the property within the corporate limits of the municipality.

The Official Community Plan contains a statement of objectives for the future development of the municipality and policies to guide that development. The objectives and policies will address the future requirements and direction for growth of residential and commercial developments. Policy on municipal services and environmental management are also addressed, intended future extensions of existing land uses are identified.

The Zoning Bylaw is a regulatory document which implements the policies set forth in the Official Community Plan. The Zoning Bylaw will divide the municipality into separate zoning districts based on existing and intended future land uses.

Examination of Bylaws Any interested person may inspect the bylaws by arrangement with the Administrator. Copies of the bylaws are available at cost.

Individuals may also contact Tim Cheesman, our Land Use Planner at 306-596-4431 or tcheesman@accesscomm.ca for further information.

Public Hearing Council will be holding a public hearing on Monday October 18th, 2021, at 7 pm in the Village Hall, Belle Plaine to hear any person or group that wants to comment on the proposed bylaws. Council will also consider written comments received at the hearing or delivered to the undersigned prior to the hearing.

there,” Pohl said.

Pohl, 75, expressed confusion about why the city hasn’t acted faster, considering numerous accidents and fatalities have happened at that intersection over the years. He pointed out that there are rumble strips in the Village of Tuxford reminding motorists to stop before they reach the highway.

What has made this particular intersection more troublesome in Pohl’s mind is that the Co-op installed a card lock on the North Service Road years ago, which increased traffic volumes since there is also the A&W restaurant and other businesses. He suggested that most people would be horrified if they watched the daily dance of vehicles in and out of that area.

“Someday, you’re going to have two 18-wheelers — and maybe they’re carrying gasoline — and you’re going to have a real mess on your hands,” he said.

Pohl spoke to the provincial government about installing traffic lights at the intersection but was told it wasn’t possible. He argued otherwise, saying there are traffic lights on many major highways, such as in Medicine Hat and near Pilot Butte when the province constructed the overpasses.

The Moose Jaw Express reached out to city hall about this issue and asked several questions to confirm Pohl’s statements and allegations.

City hall responded in an email, saying, “We appreciate feedback from residents, and in this case, the city supports the installation of rumble strips approaching this intersection. We will be able to perform the work using city equipment at minimal cost.”

In a follow-up email, city hall added that it would begin the work the week of Sept. 20 and expected the project to cost $500.

Upon learning that rumble strips would soon be installed, Pohl replied, “I am very much (pleased).”

The Express visited the intersection on Sept. 22 and found that the municipality had not started the work yet.

However, the weather for the rest of the week is expected to be sunny, so city crews still have time to complete the project.

Milk prices vary across Canadian provinces

By Ron Walter - For Moose Jaw Express

The cheapest milk prices in Canada are in the northern Ontario city of Sudbury.

Milk prices vary from market to market, according to a study by Field Agent Canada.

The average price of milk increased 3.6 per cent since March 2020 in 18 of 20 markets reviewed by the Canadian Fluid Milk Report.

Price changes ranged from 10.6 per cent increase in Halifax to .6 per cent in Laval, Quebec. Prices dropped in Victoria, B.C., by 6.1 per cent and by 4.6 per cent in Charlottetown, P.E.I. The cheapest milk found in Sudbury at $4.68 for a four-litre jug for two per cent compares with $7.13 in Moncton, New Brunswick.

While the lower Sudbury milk price comes from retail competition and use of milk as a loss leader to attract customers, Field Agent General Manager Gerry Doucette says differences in regional prices are generally caused by the supply management system which controls milk production through provincial quotas.

“In Quebec there are higher prices in general versus Ontario - that’s more of a supply management piece, he told Canadian Grocer. “In Atlantic Canada it’s really about inefficiencies. Because milk doesn’t flow freely across borders in Canada you don’t have efficiencies of shipping milk from Ontario to the Maritimes and doing it at a much lower price.”

The least expensive milk in retail stores

was found in Costco in Ontario, Manitoba and B.C. at $4.65 for a four-litre jug ($1.07 a litre). And 7-Eleven and Circle K convenience stores sold a two-litre jug of milk for $4.99($2.50 a litre).

Doucette said the price reflects the cost Getty Images of milk landed at the store.

The Field Agent study used data collected from a network of mobile phone users and from 185 stores across Canada between May 7 to June 20 in 20 markets.

Regina milk prices averaged $1.36 a litre, or $5.39 for four litres of two per cent milk.

Western Canada’s First Sow Plant Under Construction in Moose Jaw The new renovation of the old XL beef plant will benefit the city and pork producers across western Canada.

There are approximately 200,000 culled sows in western Canada per year, a large majority of which could go to this plant.

The vast majority of culled sows from the western prairie provinces are exported for slaughter to the United States due to the lack of processing capabilities in western Canada.

“The current problem from the producer’s standpoint is that it is costly to transport sows to the midwestern United States. It comes out of the producer’s pocket in the end. Having a local facility will also play a benefit to the welfare of the animals, as they will not be transported as far.” said Ferguson.

In recent years pork producers who have sent their culled sows to the U.S. to be processed have paid between 40-70 dollars per animal.

penses associated with shipping the animals.

Although there are other pork processing facilities throughout western Canada, Ferguson explained that the current facilities could only process market hogs.

The main difference in equipment between a sow processing facility and a pork plant is the difference in size between cull sows and market hogs. A live market hog typically weighs around 250 to 275 pounds; a sow weighs between 300-600 pounds—the sheer difference in size results in a need for larger equipment throughout the plant.

Another difference between the two kinds of facilities lies in the types of cuts produced.

Market hogs, leaner, more muscled animals, tend to be used for fresh pork cuts. These cuts are primarily exported and require less processing of the final product. Sows, by contrast, are typically used for ground pork and sausages, which take a very different kind of processing equipment.

The plant will also generate revenue for the local economy by creating around 100 new jobs, a sizable economic generator for the city and its residents. Once the plant is in operation, Moose Jaw will also be well-positioned as a key location in the Canadian pork industry.

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 indi-

cates 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 1-866457-2377, or visit the Saskatchewan Agriculture website.

Daughter’s crystal meth use caused 15-year crisis for her and her family Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Tracy Jasper speaks about her daughter Meagan’s 15-year use of crystal meth, during an online event on Sept. 23. Screenshot courtesy Zoom Meagan Jasper came from a normal, middle-class family that instilled positive values in her, but an encounter with crystal methamphetamines in Grade 9 sent her and her family on a 15-year rollercoaster.

The family noticed a change in Meagan after Christmas, which was strange since the family had no underlying addictions and her parents were happily married, mom Tracy said. She and her husband thought their daughter was attempting to fit in and be cool.

“When we started noticing these things, I never, never thought it was drugs … because I had no history of it,” Tracy said during an online talk about crystal meth on Sept. 23 that Square One Community Inc. hosted in conjunction with the Moose Jaw Crystal Meth Strategy Committee.

The Jaspers took their daughter for support, but aside from saying Meagan was rebellious, the counsellors refused to say anything else because she was 14 and that information was private.

Tracy and her husband continued to support Meagan and keep her involved in family activities, even though her troubles grew. This included police charging her with possession of drugs as a minor and later as an adult.

Warriors close out pre-season with weekend split against Regina Warriors fall 4-1 at Mosaic Place Friday before welcoming back Alarie, taking 5-2 victory in rematch in Regina Saturday

Warriors forward Atley Calvert battles with Regina’s Easton Armstrong for the puck.

Odds are the Moose Jaw Warriors weren’t going to go through the entire Western Hockey League season with an undefeated record.

And it’s better to take a tough loss now in the pre-season than later in the campaign when the games carry greater and greater meaning.

The Warriors got off to a slow start against the Regina Pats on Friday night at Mosaic Place, falling behind 3-0 in the first 23 minutes before going on to drop a 4-1 decision.

“I don’t think we liked the way we started the game,” said Warriors head coach Mark O’Leary. “We weren’t surprised by the work ethic we saw from Regina because that’s how they play, they come at you in a hurry and make you work for everything and we weren’t ready to match their compete level. I think that’s where we got behind in the game with how we started and we were in an uphill battle from there.”

Warriors fans didn’t have to wait long to get a taste of what Connor Bedard can do for the Regina Pats, as the 16-year-old phenom set up Zack Stringer with the first

Overage goaltender Carl Tetatchuk got the start and turned aside 32 shots to pick up his second win, the Warriors fired 29 shots at Regina’s Spencer Welke.

Weyburn’s Clarke to make debut as first female WHL on-ice official at Mosaic Place Long-time women’s hockey referee and linesperson to take ice for contest between Moose Jaw Warriors and Regina Pats Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com staff

A couple years after hosting the first-ever all-female on-ice crew for a Saskatchewan Male AAA Hockey League game, Mosaic Place once again made history on Friday night..

Weyburn’s Alex Clarke became the first woman to work as a linesperson in the Western Hockey League when the Moose Jaw Warriors faced the Regina Pats.

The assignment will be the first of many for Clarke as she joins the WHL Officiating team for the 2021-22 season.

“I am extremely excited for the opportunity to join the WHL as a linesperson,” Clarke said in a press release announcing the milestone. “I have been working towards this for several years now and I believe my development has reached the level required to perform in the WHL. I’m looking forward to the challenges and growth the WHL will bring to my officiat-

ing journey, and I’m excited about the potential for other female officials to enjoy similar opportunities in high-level male hockey.”

To say Clarke has earned the opportunity is a vast understatement.

A 28-year-old former member of the CWHL’s Calgary Inferno, Clarke boasts extensive international experience, having been assigned to the 2020 IIHF Women’s World Championship, 2019 IIHF Women’s World Championship (Division 1, Group B), 2018 4 Nations Cup, and 2018 IIHF U18 Women’s World Championship (Division II, Group B).

Most recently, she was one of the officials assigned to the 2021 Women’s World Championship in Calgary.

“For the past several years we have been monitoring Alex’s development and progression as an official,” said Kevin

Muench, senior director of WHL officiating.

“She has been highly successful in Junior A and her recent performance at the IIHF Women’s World Championship was highlighted by her assignment to the bronze medall game.

Another amazing showing for Moose Jaw’s Stinn at Pan American powerlifting championship World-record setting weekend culminates with qualification for World Games, induction into North American Powerlifting Federation Hall of Fame

Moose Jaw’s Rhaea Stinn was inducted into the North American Powerlifting Federation Hall of Fame at the recent Pan American championships.

Moose Jaw’s Rhaea Stinn hadn’t even touched the bar at the recent Pan American powerlifting championships in Orlando, Fla. when she received some incredibly good news.

Shortly after arriving for the international event, Stinn -- one of the most storied powerlifters in Canadian history -- was notified she was to be inducted into the North American Powerlifting Hall of Fame at the conclusion of the meet.

It’s a fitting honour for the 2019 IPF World Open champion and the latest highlight in a long and successful career that shows no sign of slowing down.

“I found out the first day I walked into the venue,” Stinn said. “One of the officials came up to me and said ‘congratulations’ and I was like ‘oooh, thanks, but for what, I haven’t done anything yet?” Stinn said with a laugh while recalling how she found out she was joining the Hall. “And

The focus will now turn toward the World thoughts.”

Stinn recorded a 247.5-kilogram championships in November, and especially the World Games beginning July 7, 2022.

“It’s kind of crazy to think this is my fourth one, having competed at this level for so long,” Stinn said. “I’ve never medalled at any of the World Games, so that’s my next goal. We’ll see how the next year of training goes and see what happens.”

Stinn wasn’t the only member of Team Unparalleled to light up the Pan American meet.

Shantelle Szuch -- who hails from Moose Jaw but now lives in Red Deer -- competed in the Masters I (age 40-49) 69-kg division and cleared 185 kg (407 pounds) in the squat, 103 kg (226.6 pounds) in the bench and 190.5 kg (419.1 pounds) in the deadlift for a 478.5 (1,052.7 pound) total. That landed her five Pan American and five National records.

Mava Brydges continued her own storied career in the Masters 3 (age 60-69) 76kg division and cleared 132.5 kg (291.5 pounds) in the squat, 82.5 kg (181.5 pound) in the bench and 137.5 kg (302.6 kg) in the deadlift to total 352.5 kg (775.5 pounds). Like her fellow competitors, that led to all sorts of records -- five Pan American, two North American and nine National. Brydges also received the best Masters-aged Lifter Award.

Gottselig Athletic Performance to offer sport-specific training to young athletes New fitness facility by Vanier Vikings football head coach, former USport football standout to open at beginning of next month

Moose Jaw’s newest training facility for young athletes is a little over a week away from starting its first classes.

And if Ryan Gottselig has his way, it won’t be long before Moose Jaw’s up-and-coming competitors are making a regular appearance at the local gym.

Gottselig Athletic Performance -- located in the Golden Ticket Sports Centre -- is currently taking registration for programs, with the first classes set to begin on Monday, Oct. 4.

It’ll mark a return to fitness training for the former University of Saskatchewan Huskies’ standout and Saskatchewan Roughriders draft pick, who used to run Ignite Athletics’ Moose Jaw facility until the pandemic hit.

A conversation with Golden Ticket owner Tanner Brightman led to Gottselig taking over the rear of the new building, joining the current basketball portion of the facility and Sowden Flanagan Baseball Training.

“Tanner mentioned that this space might be available, so it seemed like a perfect fit to get in here and add the training element for the kids,” Gottselig said while working at GAP on Thursday afternoon. “Now we’re just starting to build the schedule and as openings progress we’re looking forward to getting busier and busier.”

GAP is currently preparing to host a trio of

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

strength and conditioning programs -- the Junior (Grade 6-9) program will run from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, Girls Only open age program from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Senior (Grade 9-12) from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

A number of Moose Jaw Minor Hockey AA and A teams have also expressed interest in team workouts on Tuesday and Thursday, meaning it might not take very long before things are exceptionally busy at the new facility.

Gottselig plans to keep class sizes in the 10- to 12-athlete range for the regular programs, making the best use of the 1,800 square feet they currently have on hand.

The training focus will also take a more sport-specific direction compared to some facilities, with the goal of building a strong physical base to expand on.

“That’s why this facility makes so much sense for us,” Gottselig said. “We’re not boot-camp group-fitness type training, we’re definitely athlete-focused and focused on the major movements that will assist kids in the sports they’re playing. As they develop and start to specialize if they want to focus on something rotational like baseball, we’ll work on that, but initially with the younger kids it’s about getting those basic power movements in that they can apply to different sports.”

Ryan Gottselig at Gottselig Athletic Performance in the Golden Ticket Sports Centre.

Gottselig himself will bring his 16 years of experience in the fitness industry as one of the main coaches and will be joined by University of Regina Cougars strength and conditioning coach and former Peacock Tornadoes standout Cam Ross as one of the trainers..

“So we’re really looking forward to get-

ting going and seeing what we can do to help these kids improve and get stronger,” Gottselig said.

Reinforcements inbound: Warriors Hunt, Jordan, Korczak on way back to Moose Jaw NHL training camps begin to pare down as exhibition season takes centre stage The Moose Jaw Warriors have already had an impressive showing through the Western Hockey League preseason, posting four wins through their five contests.

Now, they’re about to receive a host of powerhouse reinforcements.

A trio of National Hockey League teams announced roster cutdowns this past weekend, and as a result, team captain Daemon Hunt, forward Ryder Korczak and defenceman Cole Jordan are all en route back to Moose Jaw.

Cornerstone downs Central in epic high school boys volleyball battle Vanier takes win over Riverview in other boys contest, Central edges Vanier in girls action Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Action from the high school boys volleyball contest between the Central Cyclones and Cornerstone Christian School Falcons.

The Cornerstone Christian School Falcons are the lone remaining unbeaten team in the Moose Jaw high school boys volleybal league.

But by the slimmest of margins and you can bet the next time they meet the

Central Cyclones in league action, it’ll be another epic battle.

The Falcons took a 3-2 (26-24, 24-26, 21-

25, 25-21, 18-16) victory in the first meeting of the two teams at Central on Thursday night, with Cornerstone improving to 2-0 on the season and the Cyclones falling to 2-1.

The contest was the first played in Central’s newly refurbished gymnasium, which recently saw the completion of an asbestos-removal project that also raised the facility’s ceiling several feet.

One other boys league game on Thursday saw the Vanier Vikings take a 3-0 (25-9, 25-11, 25-21) win over the Riverview Royals. Vanier improved to 2-0 with the win, Riverview dropped to 0-3.

The lone girls league contest saw the Central Cyclones down the Vanier Spirits 3-1 (22-25, 25-16, 25-14, 25-18). The win was the first of the season for Central (1-1) while the Spirits remain winless (0-3).

Both the boys and girls games between the Peacock Toilers and Briercrest Christian Academy Cougars were cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak in Caronport.

In league action from Tuesday, Sept. 24, the two-time defending city champion Vi-

kings -- winners of the league and provincial titles in 2018 and 2019 -- found themselves in a bit of a battle with the Peacock Toilers before prevailing 3-1 (25-17, 2025, 25-23, 25-14) at Peacock.

The other boys game saw Central take a 3-0 (25-5, 25-11, 25-11) win over the Royals at Riverview In girls league action, Peacock defeated Vanier 3-0 (25-10, 25-9, 25-18).

The Toilers were coming off a solid showing at the 16-team Winston Knoll tournament in Regina, where they lost in the semifinal to Weyburn before defeating Regina Riffel for bronze. Brooklyn Roney was named the game all-star in the medal-winning game, and Team Saskatchewan member Summer Okerstrom was named a tournament all-star.

Girls league action continues Tuesday, Sept. 28 with Central at Peacock while the boys are back in action Thursday, Sept. 30 with Cornerstone at Peacock and Vanier at Central. All game times are 7 p.m. Tuesday results were unavailable for press time.

Ardens tested by Cyclones in high school girls soccer Swift Current takes 6-0 win in action Saturday at Sunningdale, Vanier battles to 9-7 victory over Yorkton Sacred Heart Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Action from Saturday’s contest between the Central Cyclones and Swift Current Ardens.

For the first half of their Moose Jaw high school girls soccer league contest with the Central Cyclones on Saturday afternoon, things were close for the Swift Current Ardens.

A little too close.

The 11-time defending league champions and perennial provincial title contenders found themselves holding a 1-0 lead, despite carrying play much of the half. That all changed after the break, though, and the Ardens improved to 5-0 on the season with a 6-0 victory at Sunningdale Field.

“Today, it was good because we got pushed a lot more than the previous games,” said Ardens’ assistant coach Steven Mah. “Central was well organized and kind of sat back and gave us a bit of a challenge of working around them. It was a good test for us, I thought we played really well, moved the ball really well and took our time and were patient, so we’re really happy with that.”

That first half though...

“The finishing was awful, we have some players up front who should be putting some more balls in the back of the net, but we got it sorted out in the second half,” Mah said. “Overall, it was a good game for us, there’s stuff we saw in this game that we’ll work on and try to improve on

in practice.”

Tenille Willows scored the lone goal of the first half, but Bryn Haubrich scored twice in the second to go along with single markers from Olivia Koebel, Jaycee Bergen and Dani Meyer.

The season in general has been a familiar one for Swift Current -- commanding win after commanding win, often by double digits. But keeping things on an even keel even with the domination hasn’t been an issue this season, for good reason.

“With everything that’s happened with COVID, it’s been easier to stay focussed and motivated,” Mah said. “Every game we get in we’re happy about it, they’re pretty grateful to be out there and they’re having fun and happy to be playing soccer.”

Across the field from that contest Saturday, the Vanier Spirits and Yorkton Sacred Heart Saints went on an offensive blitz before Vanier took a 9-7 victory.

The Spirits led 6-4 at the half and had hat tricks from Ashly Hennenfent and Jaicee Maruska to go along with a pair of goals

Action from Saturday’s contest between the Vanier Spirits and Yorkton Sacred Heart from Michaela DeCorby. Sheila Ruberwa scored their other marker. Sophie Smith scored four times for Yorkton, Sarah Van Koughnett hit the twine three times.

League action continues Wednesday with Central at Weyburn and Peacock at Swift Current.

Central continues dominating season with lopsided win over Colts

Cyclones build 37-point lead by half on way to 51-14 victory over Swift Current

Swift Current defensive back Wyatt Ratzlaff managed to keep Cyclones receiver Kaedyn Banilevic from making this open-field catch.

The beat just keeps on keeping on for the Central Cyclones in the South 3A 12 Man Football League.

The Cyclones scored 30 points in the second quarter on their way to a 37-0 first-half lead and would go on to a 51-14 victory over the Swift Current Colts at Gutheridge Field on Saturday afternoon.

It was much of the same for the unbeaten squad as it has been all season -- plenty of offence, a defence that didn’t allow the Colts room to maneuver and just about everything that could go right going right for

Breitkreuz added an 18-yard catch to his major totals in the third quarter and Reese Prior capped scoring for the Cyclones with an 80-yard pass-and-run.

Swift Current got on the board when a blocked punt gave the Colts great field position, leading to Zac Cloutier running in from eight yards out 16 seconds into the third quarter. Ty Zinger then capped a Colts quarterback Elijah Siemens fires solid passing drive with the game’s final a pass in the fourth quarter.

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” (now to 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 (now to January 2, 2022). Enrolled participants have been mailed prepackaged “kits” of

art supplies as well as accompanying reproductions of Milne’s works to discuss using creative and open-ended prompts.

Everything was provided free of charge to participants. Although this program is full, people should stay tuned for more “over the phone” art programming for seniors in early 2022. For more information contact: Christy Schweiger Educator Coordinator, MJMAG 306-692-4472 educator.mjmag@sasktel.net Western Development Museum: All WDM locations are now open 7 days a week and times for WDM Moose Jaw are 10:00 am - 5:00 pm daily.

COVID VACCINATION RECORD AVAILABLE WITH QR CODE Verifier App On The Way For Businesses

Saskatchewan citizens with a MySaskHealthRecord account at eHealth Saskatchewan are now able to view their COVID-19 vaccination record in a new format that includes a QR (Quick Response) code.

It can be downloaded/saved, printed and viewed on mobile devices.

The new one-page format replaces the COVID-19 vaccination record launched in Saskatchewan in August, which does not include a QR code. The new format with QR code also notes the individual’s name, type of vaccine administered, date, country of issuance and lot number.

The new certificate with digital QR code supports proof of vaccination at border entry if travelling internationally, and is aligned with work the federal government is undertaking on a national solution.

Wallet cards showing vaccines administered will also be considered acceptable proof of vaccination to meet the conditions of the recent public health measures.

The vaccine certificate with QR code is being launched now to give citizens time to retrieve the information and familiarize themselves with the process. By the end of the month, businesses or organizations requiring proof of vaccination will have the option to download and use a free QR code verifier app, that will be able to scan the QR code and determine if a person is fully vaccinated or not. The Saskatchewan Vaccine Verifier app (SK Vax Verifier) will be free from Google Play or Apple App stores.

An individual’s vaccination information is embedded in the QR code, and when it is

scanned with the SK Vax Verifier app, the app will show either a green indicator to verify the person is fully vaccinated or a red indicator to show they are not. Information is secure, and is not viewed/saved/ retained in the scanning process. “Fully vaccinated” means 14-days after receiving: the second of two doses of an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer, Moderna) or AstraZeneca/ COVISHIELD (all interchangeable between the two doses), or 1 dose of Janssen (Johnson & Johnson) vaccine.

By the end of September, citizens may also, if they choose, acquire for free the Saskatchewan Vaccine Wallet app (SK Vax Wallet) from Google Play or Apple App stores to download their vaccine re-

cord and have it easily accessible in the SK Vax Wallet app on their phone.

To get your COVID-19 vaccination certificate with QR code through MySaskHealthRecord (or to create a new account), visit www.ehealthsask.ca/MySaskHealthRecord/MySaskHealthRecord/. Once an account is created, individuals may access their COVID-19 vaccination record as well as their complete immunization history, lab test results, including COVID-19 tests, and other health history. It may take up to 24 hours for your record to be updated, after your account is activated.

Briercrest campus confirms it has 55 active COVID-19 cases Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

There are 55 active COVID-19 cases on the Briercrest campus in the Village of Caronport, but campus administrators expect that number to reach zero within a few days.

Forty-three students and 12 staff — at the high school, college, and seminary — were confirmed to have the virus as of Sept. 22, although none of those cases has resulted in hospitalization, the organization said on its blog.

Beginning Sept. 24, Briercrest will work with the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) to re-test the campus community every Friday starting on Sept. 24 until there are zero positive COVID-19 cases.

Campus administration believes these “cases” will be resolved by Sept. 26.

This outbreak is linked to eight individuals who tested positive for the coronavirus after arriving in early September at Briercrest.

Students and employees were instructed to receive a COVID-19 test to help preserve health and safety on campus, the blog explained. On Sept. 7, SHA brought a mobile testing clinic to campus and processed more than 300 staff, students, and faculty.

That testing produced eight positive results. In consultation with SHA, Briercrest conducted contact tracing and advised those affected on the best steps to manage

their alleged infection.

QR CODES TEMPORARILY REMOVED FROM COVID-19 VACCINATION RECORDS After being alerted to an issue downloading patient QR codes late last week, the QR code is being temporarily removed from citizens’ COVID-19 vaccination records through MySaskHealthRecord.

QR codes will not be issued on vaccination certificates until sometime this week. Citizens are currently unable to view their proof of vaccination certificate in MySaskHealthRecord, although the vaccines administered still show.

Citizens will be able to download or print their proof of vaccination record, which will still include their name and details about the vaccines administered. However, the QR

code will be absent from the record.

IT has identified that the COVID 19 vaccination records of up to 19 residents have the potential of displaying in other citizens’ QR codes. Information from one individual has been identified to date.

Citizens who have already printed/downloaded/captured the QR code on their COVID-19 vaccination record between September 19-24, are asked to destroy/delete any records with their COVID-19 QR code as the code will be made invalid. They are also asked to contact eHealth Saskatchewan’s Privacy Officer if they have noticed another

individual’s name appear when their QR code is scanned.

Other options which may be considered as proof of COVID-19 vaccination: Wallet card or earlier version of your MySaskHealthRecord COVID-19 vaccine certificate COVID-19 vaccine printout from Saskatchewan Health Authority Public Health The individual whose name and information has been erroneously captured has been contacted. The Office of the Information and Privacy Officer of Saskatchewan has been made aware of this issue.

COVID-19 has Printing driven governments into debt traps money to address short-term needs will only lead to inflation therefore dampening any potential economic recovery

By Alexandre Massaux - © Troy Media

The financial consequences of COVID-19 and the shutdown of economies are difficult to evaluate. But some of those consequences have begun to appear and could hinder economic recovery.

Inflation is one of these harmful consequences. In the United States, consumer prices jumped 4.2 per cent in the 12 months through to April, up from 2.6 per cent in March, marking a considerable increase since September 2008.

The same trend is happening in Canada, where inflation rose to 3.4 per cent in April, up from 2.2 per cent in March, the highest level since May 2011.

Inflation can occur when the money supply increases faster than economic growth. For economist Milton Friedman, “Inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output.”

When a central bank prints too much money, that money loses its value. In some countries, profound effects are already present: in Turkey, food inflation jumped by more than 20 per cent in a year after its central bank’s bond-buying program drove its currency to record lows.

Similar situations have occurred in Latin American countries like Argentina.

These situations can lead to hyperinflation – high and ac-

celerating inflation. One of the recent and the most famous instances occurred in Venezuelan. In the face of economic difficulties, the government chose to print more money. This contributed to hyperinflation. The same phenomenon happened in Zimbabwe in the early 2000s. In both countries, the strategy to print money was linked to high governments debt. The need to repay that debt and the mismanagement of national finances can be blamed.

This situation hasn’t occurred in Western countries during the pandemic because their economies were more robust before the crisis. But even if hyperinflation isn’t a concern for those nations, its appearance elsewhere shows the danger of manipulating the money supply. And even minor inflation can hinder economic recovery.

In Canada, according to Equifax, per capita consumer debt declined amid reduced spending activity. If the overall consumer debt has risen due to mortgage balances, household indebtedness fell due to the COVID-19 crisis.

In September 2020, Statistics Canada reported a 10.8 per cent increase in household disposable income. This increase, coupled with a 13.7 per cent decline in household spending (in nominal terms), pushed the household saving rate to 28.2 per cent from 7.6 per cent in the previous quarter and 3.6 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Numerous factors can explain this situation: · Lockdowns reduce the opportunities for consumers to

spend. · The future uncertainty caused by the pandemic could lead to more prudent behaviour from households, encouraging saving overspending. · The Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) provided many people with income from the federal government in response to the restrictions and economic crisis.

So, the government is spending more and households are saving more. This shows that the state is becoming more active in the economy and in managing its debt.

To deal with the COVID-19 crisis, the government has relied on debt and redistributed money to people through subsidies.

The problem is that government money is taxpayer money, so the burden of debt (and the future tax burden) will be costly for citizens, even if they receive financial help from the government.

The COVID-19 crisis has allowed governments to take a more important place in the economy, mainly using debt with help from central banks.

The shock of COVID-19 can explain this behaviour, but we must be wary of the risk of abuse.

Alexandre Massaux is a research associate with the Frontier Centre for Public Policy.

Saskatchewan reaches 80 per cent with first doses Saskatchewan has now reached 80 per cent of all eligible residents receiving their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, and 71 per cent receiving two doses.

The province of Saskatchewan has seen a significant increase in vaccinations since the announcement of the proof of vaccination or negative test requirement to be implemented for all provincial and crown employees and for several establishments, businesses and event venues as of October 1.

Two doses of the two-dose mRNA vaccines approved in Canada are required to be fully vaccinated. It takes 14 days after your second dose to receive optimum protection.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority is holding pop-up and walk-in vaccination clinics throughout the province, targeting under- and unvaccinated communities. Watch for details on clinic locations and times listed on the SHA website.

Please note clinics are subject to change based on demand, resources, etc. Any changes to clinic hours and location will be updated online.

A map of pharmacies participating in COVID-19 vaccinations is available at www.saskatchewan.ca/covid19-pharmacies.

Proof of Vaccination Saskatchewan residents with a MySaskHealthRecord account can now view their COVID-19 vaccination record in a new format that includes a QR (Quick Response) code. It can be downloaded/saved, printed and viewed on mobile devices. To get your COVID-19 vaccination certificate with QR code through MySaskHealthRecord or to create a new account, visit www.ehealthsask.ca/ MySaskHealthRecord/MySaskHealthRecord.

To see how to access your QR code, click one of the following links: Mobile: https://youtu.be/CTAeJJUIUn8 or Desktop:

https://youtu.be/0GCS4EICK7o Wallet cards received at the time of vaccination may be considered acceptable proof of vaccination, depending on the Saskatchewan business or venue’s policies.

Note: vaccine lot numbers are not required for any services provided in Saskatchewan. Vaccine lot number information may be required when submitting for federal documentation to support international travel, when the federal proof of vaccination document becomes available.

Check with your destination to confirm vaccination requirements for entry. If the lot number is not currently on your vaccine record, please check with your destination to confirm if it is required before following up with eHealth Saskatchewan for inclusion.

Obituaries SEABORN, W.E. TED It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ted on December 16, 2020, at the age of 78 at West Park Crossing with his family by his side. Predeceased by (Mom) Marion Seaborn, (Dad) Trevor Seaborn, (Mother-in-law) Bernie Benjamin, (Father-inlaw) Herman Benjamin, (Daughter) Carolyn, (Sisterin-Law) Laurette Benjamin, (Brother-in-Law) Raymond Benjamin. Ted is survived by his wife of 53 years Alice; Daughter Sandy (Mark), Son Barry (Aftyn); Grandchildren Riley, Nylah and Chase, whom he cherished; Sister Joan (Beattie) Hugg and family. After high school in Moose Jaw, work took Ted to cities across Saskatchewan, North Battleford, Weyburn, Shaunavon, and Swift Current where he worked for The Bank of Nova Scotia and Woolworths.

In 1967, Ted married the love of his life Alice. The family moved back to Moose Jaw in 1970 to take over Seaborn Agencies a family business owned by his Dad Trevor Seaborn. Ted loved the challenge of the industry and being the people person he was, he loved his clients.

It was a yearly ritual for him to deliver calendars to his clients and have a visit. He also enjoyed calling a lot of his clients on their birthday to wish them well! After retirement Ted continued his daily walk to the bank, this could be lengthy for Ted as he visited with anyone and everyone along the way whether he knew them or not. Ted was a gifted musician playing the piano and keyboard with many different bands over the years and loved every minute of it. He also enjoyed jamming with other musicians forming many lasting friendships. His last performance on stage was at Ted and Alice’s 50th Wedding Anniversary when the band asked him to join them for a few songs. The sound of his music will be dearly missed at our family gatherings. Ted’s other favourite past times included walking in Wakamow Valley with ‘The Grumpy old Men’ crew and then heading to A & W for coffee. He loved to golf every chance he got, but especially in Palm Springs, until his shoulders would no longer co-operate. He had a true passion for cars, especially cruising in his 1963 Studebaker Hawk. Despite all the health challenges Ted faced, his sense of humour never waivered. He fought every battle with determination right until the end. We would like to thank the Staff at West Park Crossing for their love and kindness over the last few years. If we could all learn a lesson from Ted, it would be “Be kind to everyone you meet”. We could all use this right now in these difficult times. A celebration of Ted’s life will be Saturday October 9, 2021, at 11:00 am at Jones-Parkview Chapel, 474 Hochelaga St. W. As there is a Rider game Saturday, If you are a Rider fan, please feel free to wear your Rider gear in Ted’s memory as he was also a dedicated fan. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ted’s name may be made to your favourite local charity. In living memory of Ted, a memorial planting will be made by Jones-Parkview Funeral Services. Please sign the memorial register at website: www.wjjonesandson.com (Obituaries). Dayna Chamberlain – Funeral Director

BUSHELL Reginald “Reg” Alwyn Bushell, aged 88 years of Moose Jaw, SK passed away on Saturday, April 17th, 2021 after a lengthy illness, while living at Providence Place. Born in Moose Jaw in 1932, Reg was a true hometown boy, attending public school and graduating from Central Collegiate.

After high school, he set off on a career in Retail Men’s Wear, first with Campbell & Dixon and then as a partner in Slater & York.

In 1963, Reg married Evelyn Hill and together they had two children, James and Karen. As a family, there were many adventures and trips with his trusty camera always close by. His most enjoyable trips had to be going overseas to England to visit his father’s side of the family. After Evelyn’s passing in 1987, Reg was fortunate to find love again and in 1999 he married Peggie (Garner-Floyd).

Reg continued to work until he was 70, with his late job at Hunter’s Mens Wear. He loved photography, dancing, playing the piano and organ. He was always game for a picnic, rides in the country, and card games with friends. But dearest to his heart was his love of classic cinema.

Reg will be missed by his wife, Peggie; children, James and Karen; step-children, Laurie (Paul) and Ian; granddaughter, Erin; great-grandson, Wyatt; grandpuppins, Roxy Roo; brother, Ron (Pearl); brotherin-law, Jim (Sharon); sister-in-law, Winnie; as well as his numerous nieces and nephews.

A very special thank you to the staff at Providence Place and the hardworking team on Edgar Hall. Your kindness to Reg has not gone unnoticed, especially during this past year with Covid-19 making it hard for family to visit. All of you hold a special place in our heart.

A Celebration of Reg’s Life will be held on Sunday, October 3rd, 2021 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Timothy Eaton Center, 510 Main St N, Moose Jaw, SK. As an expression of sympathy, donations in Reg’s name may be made to Parkinson Canada, #110B - 103 Airport Dr, Saskatoon, SK S7L 6W2 and Riverside Mission, 42 Manitoba St E, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 0A2.

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.

God

The Gospel according to John commences, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” The word used for God is theos, from which English gets “theology,” meaning words about god.

Theos is a generic term for any divine being. What sets John’s use of the word apart from any other is the connection to “the Word,” which in Greek is logos. The Christian Church understands that the logos took on human flesh, and this unique being is Jesus the Christ, who is god and human.

In English the word “God” is usually connected to a creator of all things and a source of moral authority for human beings. A “god” is a being or spirit having power over nature and people. For many a god is looked to as the source of all good and a refuge in time of need.

In Christianity the only true god is the being who reveals itself in the writings of the Bible. Exodus chapter six records, “God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name the Lord I did not make myself known to them.” The Hebrew word for “God” used in this passage is elohiym. Elohiym is like theos in Greek, it designates a generic divine being, which can be used in many different ways. It is the context and the descriptions that narrow the focus on a revealed God of the Bible. A divine being spoke to Moses and revealed itself in the divine name, Yahweh. This god claims to be the same being that appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the patriarchs of the Jewish faith, but did not reveal to them the personal divine name. God communicated with

them as el shaddey, a singular form of the plural elohiym with the qualifier “the destroyer” or “the most powerful one,” often translated as almighty.

In many English Bibles whenever the name Yahweh is used as the personal name of God, it is presented in all capital letters, “LORD.” That way readers of the sacred texts can differentiate the various names and meanings of names for god or gods or God. Christians believe the unique true God is revealed in the Old Testament writings in the plural, elohiym, not usually the singular, el. This gives credence to the teaching of the Trinity, three persons in one God, a unique doctrine of the Christian faith. As the Athanasian Creed (one of the three great statements of faith of the Christian Church) puts it, “Now the Universal Faith is this, that we worship one God in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity; For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, another of the Holy Ghost; The Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, the Holy Ghost uncreated; So the Father is God, the Son God, the Holy Ghost God; And yet there are not three Gods, but one God. For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity to confess each Person by himself to be both God and Lord; So are we forbidden to speak of three Gods or three Lords.”

In the first chapter of the Bible, Genesis chapter one, the word for God is elohiym. This emphasizes that a divine being is the source of all created things. In the second chapter of Genesis the name of God is Yahweh Elohiym to emphasize the personal connection of this divine creator with human beings, thus allowing for moral authority to proceed from God and the revealed words of God. So you can see that the context and descriptions associated with the generic term “god” are crucial for the various religions around the globe as to what they believe about God and who are gods.
