After 11 years on council, Heather Eby believes it’s her time to be mayor After serving for 11 years on city council, Coun. Heather Eby believes now is the time to run for mayor and help lead the community out of the pandemic.

Eby is currently the second-longest member on council, having first been elected in 2009.

“I really feel that right now, coming out of COVID, our community has a lot of healing to do, and we really need to care for the small, medium and large businesses — especially the medium and small ones — as well as our residents, and all the staff at city hall. Everyone’s been through a lot … ,” Eby said recently.

“I do believe that every person who’s ever been in leadership, mayor or otherwise, is there at the perfect time they’re supposed to be there. And I think this is my time. I think I’m the right person to lead the community and to lead council during the three years of coming out of COVID.” ‘This really was my time’ Eby did not initially think about running for mayor when Fraser Tolmie announced he was seeking federal politics. However, she knew a few councillors were interested and was comfortable with them stepping forward.

“I’ve got a great life going on right now, and I hadn’t really planned on throwing a monkey wrench into my schedule,” she said. “But the closer the deadline got, the more I just really felt like maybe this really was my time.”

Strengths Eby pointed to her time on council as one strength, along with the knowledge and experience she acquired under three mayors. Furthermore, she understands how things work at city hall and knows what

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express and the community that I will be that mayor,” she added.

Priorities Council has not had much time to tackle some pressing issues since the municipal election last October, Eby said. So, some of the issues on which she campaigned then are still relevant.

One issue is policing and ensuring there are enough officers to handle what’s happening in the community, particularly the crystal meth epidemic. Eby is on the Moose Jaw Crystal Meth Strategy Committee and is committed to helping find a solution for that crisis.

Eby wants to continue to rebuild core infrastructure, including the cast iron water main replacement program. Moreover, rehabilitation of the Thunderbird (Fourth Avenue) Viaduct will require at least $16 million. This means council needs to put the mayor does and the limitations that ofthis project into the capital budget so fundfice faces. ing can be secured.

(So), I’m promising myself Even councillors sometimes question why

items must be discussed in-camera, a situation that arose recently when members asked city administration about a topic, she continued. Administration quoted the LA FOIP section, which somewhat alleviated the councillor’s concerns.

Some issues that must be discussed in-camera include personnel matters and contracts with businesses.

“I would never chair a meeting in-camera, or in secret, or in confidence that was not within the parameters of the Local Authority and Freedom of Information Act. I just wouldn’t … ,” Eby said, adding she has never attended a secret meeting as a councillor, either.

To resign or not resign Should Eby — or any other city councillor running in this byelection — be elected mayor, this would trigger another byelection to fill that councillor spot. This issue is a gap in The Cities Act, she noted, a document that council follows.

Based on that act, Eby believes councillors who run for mayor should resign their seats. However, she saw no reason to since neither Coun. Crystal Froese nor Coun.

Kim Robinson made that move. Furthermore, she did not want to be seen as a “hero” or “martyr,” while if she lost and one of the six non-council candidates won, this would lead to a byelection anyway.

This situation has prompted Eby to consider bringing a motion to a future Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) convention to address this issue.

“I do think that triggering a byelection after this will be ridiculous,” she added. “I don’t like this part of The Cities Act.” The mayoral byelection is Wednesday, Nov. 3.

Mayoral candidate Clive Tolley wants more vibrancy in Moose Jaw

Clive Tolley has lived in Moose Jaw his entire life, and now he’s ready to take the mayoral reigns and bring the area to new heights.

“I just felt it was time to try to do this. People want someone born and raised here, and I understand the issues and community. I am someone who can do this job properly,” he said.

“I was on city council long time ago, and I’ve stayed abreast of what’s going on.

We’re underfunded, and I know the problems we face.”

He currently sits on the Board of Revision and the Saskatchewan Labour Relations Board, and has an inside look at what’s facing the city and residents alike.

“The only way this municipality can make money is through property assessment taxation. I’ve been on the board 10 years and we deal in quasi-judicial property assessment appeals,” he said.

He’s notices many people appealing and contesting their property taxes, and says confusion has been at the heart of things.

“As far as I know, I’m the only candidate with experience on this board. I’ve already been fielding calls about this and it’s important to have someone in the mayoral role who knows about property assessment and tax dollars,” he said.

by Jordan Parker - Moose Jaw Express

He’s also worried about entertainment, culture and tourism in the town and is actively seeking the revitalization of River St. West.

“We used to have hotels and a Chinese restaurant right down there. A developer with Moose Jaw roots went to City Hall and wanted to redevelop and make something great. But when it was torn down, something changed and things didn’t go ahead. The people bought the vacant land, but there’s the thought of having something that builds tourism,” he said.

“It’s key real estate right near Mosaic Place, but right now it’s just a dirt parking lot. I share the vision of working to get things that benefit tourists and our community there again.”

He is also adamant that instead of patching and repairing streetscapes and other things, they should be redeveloped when necessary.

“When we talk about sidewalks, curbs and gutters, it’s an issue. In front of my house, I have three pieces of concrete: One from 1912, one from 1966, and one from the 2000s. I would advocate for an inventory of sidewalks, and the city could identify the worst and replace those blocks. Then we could put them down to be replaced in 30 years,” he said.

“Right now, good contractors are just doing patch work when we could do whole blocks. Swift Current does one block at a time, then a different one the next year. I think that’s more effective.”

He is also interested in the Canadian Forces Armoury and the reputation that’s been built in the area.

“I want to continue that relationship with the reserves. We also have 15 Wing, which is the home of the Snowbirds Flight Train-

ing Centre. I’ve been closely connected with them,” he said.

“It’s essential Moose Jaw expands and maintains relations there. These things are important to our financial and cultural health.”

While Tolley stops short of saying he’ll never raise taxes, citing inflation and costof-living increases, he does have a promise to voters.

“We can try to get more bang for our buck.

The city held the line on taxes for years, and now we are in a terrible situation due to it,” he said.

“It’s not realistic to say we’ll never have tax increases. But I do promise to look after this city’s money like I would my own.

I will be judicious.”

The professional and Chartered Mediator and Arbitrator has been a listener by trade for years.

“I assist with planning and solving problems. I’ve adapted a two-word slogan – Practical solutions. I believe that my passion and love for this city will stand out,” he said.

“I just want to make the best place in the world better, preserve our way of life, and find access to as many dollars as I can for Moose Jaw. I think leadership, a strong vision and teamwork will get it done.”

Rising taxes a major election issue for mayoral candidate McAuley

By Jordan Parker - Moose Jaw Express

Brett McAuley has lived in Moose Jaw for more than a decade, and he’s finally ready to make some changes himself.

Fed up with what he was seeing from the current mayor and council, he decided the only way to enact shifts is to run for mayor himself.

“The reason I’m doing this is short and simple. As a taxpayer, I’m tired of seeing these tax increases. We aren’t getting the bang for our buck,” he said.

“The same problems just keep continuing at City Hall. I see opportunities for more efficiency. There’s a lack of communication, and I want to be part of the solution.”

He sees the City of Moose Jaw as a corporation and a service provider.

“Local government should provide ammenities and things to the public. They are supposed to make things better,” he said.

“Time and time again we’re seeing roads being improved, but then torn up a month after construction for underground service work. It doesn’t make sense.”

Another issue that worries McAuley greatly is crime within the Saskatchewan city.

“This is something that needs to be addressed. Drug use, petty theft and squatters all present a problem. People have questions on how to help this issue,” he said.

“I look at this as a two-front issue. We need to be proactive about prevention and reactive when addressing ongoing issues.”

Perhaps one of the biggest issues for him are taxes, which saw a 7.5 per cent increase over the last year.

“I don’t think I could look a taxpayer in the eye with conviction right now and tell them a reason for that sort of increase. This needs to change,” he said.

“We just aren’t getting the value for those increases, and small businesses feel that way too. Services get cut, and I just want there to be more efficiencies.”

Another issue close to his heart in the area has to do with wellness.

“Mental health needs to be addressed. With the pandemic, stress levels have just been elevated, and I’ve seen those close to me have issues. We need to protect our families, neighbours and friends. Our sense of community is diminished, and it’s in our

years ago. McAuley says at the time, he and his then-wife wanted to be near family. It was their love of the area that kept them there.

Now, the IT professional has found steady work with Mosaic, and proudly calls Moose Jaw home.

“If you have a problem at Mosaic, you call me. I am genuine and always there to help.

People respond to that, as I’m confident and real. I say what I mean and mean what I say. If I say I’ll do it, I will,” he said.

The athletics coach and community leader is always trying to find ways to help those in his community.

“It doesn’t matter if I’m volunteering, working in the community or anything else, I give my all. I bring huge things to the table, and people could be confident with me as the face of the city,” he said.

“Our provincial and federal leaders have flip-flopped on promises, for dollars and other things. But people want someone they can depend on. I will listen, I will do what the people want, and I’ll be there for them.”

power to fix it,” he said.

“Moose Jaw needs a mayor that will keep taxpayers in mind, and someone who puts them at the forefront of every decision made. They need someone they can relate to.”

Originally from Moosomin, he lived in Calgary prior to moving to Moose Jaw 12

package to include: two teacups, four scones, two butter tarts, a special tea blend and a letter from the MLA Greg Lawrence, Provincial Military Liaison.

The packages were distributed to fifty military families this past week and will be hand-delivered by a staff member from the Moose Jaw Military Family Resource Centre. The PCC and Provincial Military Liaison are grateful to the Canadian Armed Forces and their families for keeping our country strong, free and safe.

“Our Saskatchewan service members have

shown great dedication and commitment to the freedom, quality of life and opportunities we enjoy in Canada every day,” Provincial Military Liaison Greg Lawrence said. “Their sacrifice is shared by their families who supported them through good and bad times. We thank each and every one of them for their service and hope this small gift can give them the opportunity to enjoy a unique experience at home with their loved ones.”

The Provincial Capital Commission (PCC) oversees the operation, management and

stewardship of provincial assets which includes Government House with a mission to enhance the quality of life by creating community partnerships, promoting visitor experiences and providing stewardship of the land and assets. More information on the Provincial Capital Commission can be found on www.saskatchewan.ca The Government House Historical Society is a non-profit organization founded in 1981. Their volunteers preserve and promote Government House as a heritage site.

Three separate bodies, the Provincial Capital Commission (PCC) and Government House Historical Society, along with Greg Lawrence the Provincial Military Liaison have all come together to honour the brave military family members of the Canadian Armed Forces both active and retired.

In 2019 a special afternoon tea was held at Government House in Regina to honour the military family’s dedication to supporting their service family member. Due to the onset of the pandemic in 2020, public health and safety became everyone’s first priority, so other arrangements had to be made to continue the tradition.

The twist was made by creating a tea package for each service member’s family who would normally be invited to attend afternoon tea at Government House. So, “Tea with a Twist” started last year and is continuing again this year to honour the families in a safe manner.

In keeping with traditional afternoon tea, dedicated volunteers from Government House Historical Society handmade each

There are some individuals online who choose to comment about everything and anything.

As we are a publication that still believes that individuals have a right to voice their opinion, whether we agree with it or not, we allow comments online as well as letters to the editor that both serve the Joan Ritchie same purpose.

EDITOR The problem is, some individuals who only see and read what they want make random comments online that are hardly worth reading.

For example: With all letters to the editor there is a disclaimer at the top; the opinion and context submitted is that of the sole individual. We allow these comments and whether we like the comments or not, or whether we believe what they say or not, we do not have the time to vet every piece of information therein regarding accurateness. They are the voice of the submitter.

That is not hard to understand but these so-called people that feel the need to criticize the accuracy of those letters by comments online are in all intents and purposes wanting to rather bash our publications as publishing false information as well as blaming the publisher…

If we allow individuals like you to post whatever you want online, accurate or even untrue comments, we certainly have a right to post letters to the editor as the voice of the submitter.

One thing that is different, though, is that individuals who post comments on our online daily do not put their contact information for verification of the said individual and many times do not use their full or real name. Their comments should probably be taken with a grain of salt as they may not even be legitimate people hiding behind a pen name. Whereas we at the MooseJawExpress/MooseJawToday.com ask our ‘letters to the editor’ contributors to submit their contact information for verification. At the very least, these individuals who submit these letters have the strength of character to put their phone number and address behind what they say.

Very often, those who post nasty comments online are only a mouthpiece anyway and have very little skin to stand by what they say but we still allow those comments because we believe people have a right to freedom of speech. We do not believe in censorship and if we did, those individuals who make random comments would have to speak to their walls at home to listen rather than have an audience of readership through our publications.

Potatoes come in 5,000 varieties; pick a favourite

By Joyce Walter - Moose Jaw Express

By now the cool and dark root cellar should be filled with harvested potatoes in preparation for the winter months ahead.

But there’s no reason to wait for winter to enjoy one or more of the 5,000 varieties of potatoes available around the world. Research undertaken in 2014 showed that potatoes ranked fourth among the world’s largest food crop, coming behind only maize, wheat and rice.

This week’s recipes, from a favourite Mennonite Cookbook, provide several ideas for serving potatoes.

••• Potatoes and Onions in Cream 5 medium-sized potatoes, pared and quartered 8 small onions 2 tbsps. butter 1 tbsp. flour 1/4 cup heavy cream 3/4 cup water 1 1/2 tsps. salt pepper to taste paprika to taste Place the potatoes and whole onions in buttered baking dish.

Melt butter in saucepan then stir in flour. Combine cream and water and add to butter and flour mixture. Cook on low until it thickens. Add salt and pepper..

Healing Memorial to be unveiled in Regina

A federal class-action suit was filed and in 2007, the Residential School Settlement Agreement began to rebuild a new future of hope and love. One of the elements of this agreement was to create the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC).

The TRC created a historical record of the residential school systems. As part of this process, the Government of Canada provided over 5 million records to the TRC. The National Centre for Truth and Recon-

The TRC has spent 6 years travelling throughout Canada and heard from more than 6,500 witnesses. The TRC also hosted 7 national events across Canada to engage the Canadian public, educate people about the history and legacy of the residential school systems, and share and acknowledge the experiences of former students and their families.

Moose Jaw Community Players continue to hone their skills

By Natalie Lund - Moose Jaw Express

The much-loved Moose Jaw Community Players have entertained us over the years with their delightful live theatre but have decided to forgo this year’s production.

Usually, Saskatchewan holds festivals in the spring and fall but those were cancelled this year due to COVID-19. “We felt that it wasn’t a good time to bring everyone together as we are unsure of what direction COVID-19 is heading,” says writer Debbie Burgher.

Burgher reminisces on the spring of 2019, when they presented “The Last Five Years,” which turned out to be a huge success. The Community Players ended up taking the full-length play to the Theatre Fest where they were nominated for ten of the twelve awards.

Currently, the Moose Jaw Community Players have an upcoming acting workshop on the agenda that will run once every two weeks. There will be four classes in total to help those that are interested in developing their skillset. Details are yet to come.

Anyone who is interested in theatre or acting is encouraged to come out and join in.

Moose Jaw Community Players won four awards in 2018 at Theatre Fest. Back row from left: Nadia Frost, Jarrod Jeanson, John Burgher. (Front from left) Veronica Montgomery, Crystal Milburn, Tara Gish and Debbie Burgher.

Currently, twenty to twenty-five people are part of the group.

“In the last show that we did, we had people on stage ranging from five years of age to seventy,” recalls Burgher. “Sometimes

the shows are intense. We have had shows that go to play in festivals in Yorkton, Kindersley, Regina, and all over the province.”

The Community Players have written a

unique play that they hope to present after the pandemic settles down called, “Notoriously Moose Jaw.” Burgher, a retired high school drama teacher currently sits on the Board of Theatres Saskatchewan and has been instrumental in writing the play. She says that theatre is her passion and loves the community aspect of theatre “…being able to take a story and present it on stage while educating, talking, causing the audience to think.

“The collaborate art of it all has to do with every person’s job,” Burgher believes. “It was wonderful as a high-school teacher to see people who didn’t believe they had it in them to get up and act.”

The goal for the Moose Jaw Community Players is to put COVID-19 behind them and get back on stage in hopes that theatre life can go on. They would love to see new participants come out and experience their workshops and see the community expand If you have any questions regarding the upcoming workshops you can visit Moose Jaw Community Players facebook page for more information.

Moose Jaw Wildlife Federation continuing projects heading into fall

by Natalie Lund - Moose Jaw Express

Plaxton Lake

The Moose Jaw Wildlife Federation has programs, events and projects to look forward to this year.

Currently in the works is the Jack Feist Memorial Project, a new fishery enhancement project for angler access on Plaxton Lake on the Moose Jaw River. This project was created in memory of Jack Feist, a previous member of the Wildlife Federation. The federation was looking for a way to help honour his memory and improve angler access to a resource that was dear to Feist’s heart.

“He used to fish quite often, and his family told me that when he passed he wanted to be able to give back,” said, Todd Smith, fifth year president of Moose Jaw Wildlife Federation.

Also, as part of the project, the Wildlife Federation will be upgrading the walking paths and installing a new dock for improved access.

“Paths are completed at this stage and the only thing that we are waiting on is the dock installation, which is currently in the fabrication stage. Installation would happen in the spring given that we are moving into winter.”

The Fish in School’s program will be starting up mid-December with participating teachers getting a transport permit sent from the Ministry of Environment.

Students receive the eggs from the Fort Qu’Appelle Fish Culture Station and raise them from an eye to a fingerling stage, which is about to the length of an index finger. The trout are then released into the Buffalo Pound Provincial Park Trout Pond.

Hamilton Flats in Moose Jaw is a longterm habitat rehabilitation project that

was initiated approximately 15 years ago and in the initial rehabilitation, trees were planted and flourished until the last couple years where drought has thwarted their growth. The Wildlife Federation plans to plant additional trees in the spring to keep the flats flourishing, As well, twenty-four bird boxes have been built and installed by outdoor education students at E’cole Duchame.

In May of each year, the Pheasant in Schools program begins and usually wraps up about this time of the season. Kids get eggs to incubate in their classrooms and care for them until they hatch. The pheasants then spend a summer on the farm growing and are then released in the fall to supplement wild populations.

With winter coming, Classrooms on Ice at Buffalo Pound Lake is something to look forward to. The program is free and

Students have the chance to watch the fish eggs through each developmental stage, from eggs to free-swimming fish. (supplied)

geared towards students in grades 5 and 6, tying in with their natural science curriculum. Students also get a chance to try out ice fishing for a day with all necessary equipment provided by the Moose Jaw Wildlife Federation.

In the new year, approximately the end of February or first week in March, a Youth and Family Fishing Tournament is held at Buffalo Pound Lake. The dates are tentative all depending on the condition of the ice at the time. For a nominal cost of $5 per child or youth under the age of 16 to register, an adult angler needs to register alongside for $20.

The hope is that the Federation’s fish fry will again be held in the spring. According to Smith, the association has been unable to do the fish fry for the last two years due to the pandemic. If held, the event usually occurs at the Heritage Inn with a dinner, as well as a live and silent auction.

The organization is run strictly by volunteers, so all programming and events are facilitated by the organization. “We are always open for some extra hands to help create light work,” says Smith.

If anyone is interested in becoming involved, they can find the Moose Jaw Wildlife Federation on Facebook or on their website: MJWildlife.ca” Donations can be made through the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation website at www.swf.sk.ca.

Take a walk and educate with Story Trails

by Natalie Lund - Moose Jaw Express

In the not too distant past and in the midst of the pandemic, the Moose Jaw Public Library undertook a new initiative to encourage the public to read more and get some exercise at the same time.

Story Trails is a self-guided walk to focus on building literacy and improving children’s focus when it comes to literacy skills. Reading a story while going out for a walk with your family is thought to encourage both of these skills.

Children’s librarian Tina Dolcetti chooses which books to feature and where to have the trail. She then asks businesses to participate by putting laminated pages of the book in the windows trusting that the story trail followers will see the trail and follow it. Pages from a chosen book are numbered and posted or pegged into the ground. The posts lead in a direction that readers follow as the story unfolds.

“It is free family fun,” she says. “It’s about fun. Sometimes it’s difficult to have fun [these days]!”

Having a phone is not necessary to participate in the story trail event but there is an optional QR code survey at the end of the

Hadfield was inspired as a young child to become an astronaut. The main reason Dolcetti chose to feature Chris Hadfield’s story is to support him as a Canadian author and astronaut.

“Story trails have been well received, even in Crescent Park,” added Aislinn Lawreniuk, another employee of the library.

“I would like to see more Story Trails happening while families continue to stay safe and well. Hopefully the pandemic will end soon. Keep learning during the pandemic and reading, keep on keeping on,” added Dolcetti.

Keep your eyes open for upcoming story trails later this year. Those who are interested can call the library at 306.692.2787 for more information.

A big thanks you to Flattop Automotive for donating money this year to the summer reading club in assisting the purchase of additional books and prizes.

The Moose Jaw Public Library is constantly in need of donations to continue to support these events. “If people would like to donate they can donate to the Friends of the Library; a donation box is available at the front desk.

Salvation Army of Moose Jaw continues to improve lives through Christmas season and beyond Busy times ahead as holidays approach, but local charity organization wouldn’t have it any other way

The Salvation Army in Moose Jaw might be famous for their high-profile fundraising and donation events around the holiday season, but that doesn’t mean their work ends when the calendar turns over.

And while the coming months will be the busiest of the year for the local charity organization, it’s just an extension of their continuous and ongoing efforts to make lives a little brighter in the communities they serve.

One of their initiatives, their recent backpack program was held prior to the new school year kicking off.

“We had requests for 65 filled backpacks for children in September to help families who otherwise wouldn’t have the supplies to go to school and each backpack averaged $65 to fill it,” explained Lt. Lester Ward, who alongside wife Lt. Almeta Ward, serve as officers with the local Salvation Army branch.

“So we went out and bought all 65 backpacks, and without the community and their giving we wouldn’t have been able to do that… Superstore partnered with us with donations at the store and a monetary donation and that made all the difference when it came helping these students in need.”

Then there’s the senior meals program that recently wrapped up and another project that will see 900 ‘sunshine bags’ delivered to seniors homes in Moose Jaw, Assiniboia and surrounding communities closer to Christmas.

“So it’s always busy for us, there are always ways we‘re trying to help, lots of events coming and lots for us to do,” Ward said.

But make no mistake, the days, weeks and months leading up to the holidays are where the heavy work begins.

Holiday ventures well underway It all kicked into high gear with the annual Salvation Army Toy Run, which took place in partnership with the Moose Jaw Cycle Association and this year saw hundreds of participants drop off new and unwrapped toys at the Salvation Army Citadel back on Sept. 18.

To say the event was an overwhelming success is a vast understatement.

“Between the two rides in Assiniboia and Moose Jaw, we well-exceeded what we had over last year, almost double,” Ward said, adding that 339 toys were gathered in the COVID-hampered 2020 event compared to the 580 that were dropped off this year. And that doesn’t take into account monetary donations, which also nearly doubled.

“It’s always bee a very positive thing here in the community and even folks who didn’t have bikes were showing up with cash donations and toys even before the motorcycles were showing up, which was great,” Ward said.

The toy donations don’t stop there, either.

Next up will be the famous Teddy Bear Toss in partnership with the Moose Jaw Warriors. Fans are asked to bring a new and unwrapped stuffed animal, toques or mittens to the game on Dec. 11 against the Swift Current Broncos, and after the Warriors score their first goal, throw their items onto the ice, where they’ll be gathered by players and volunteers, sorted and added to the Salvation Army’s Christmas haul.

“We’re pretty excited about seeing it here,” Ward said.

“This is our second Christmas here, and we haven’t had a chance to see a Teddy Bear Toss so we’re pumped and can’t wait. Having said that, living in Calgary for 18 years, we didn’t miss too many Teddy Bear tosses with the Calgary Hitmen, so we know what it entails and how incredible it is to see that kind of community support.

“So we know about the excitement and how much fun it is and we’re hoping for a packed house… and even with a smaller venue I’m thinking it’ll be a fun event.”

Lester and Almeta Ward kick off the 2020 Christmas Kettle campaign.

With the 2020-21 WHL season postponed through the Christmas months, fans took part in a drive-by drop-off Teddy Bear Toss and still turned it into a successful event, bringing in 483 toys from locations at Mosaic Place and Murray GM. “So we’ll be looking for all the support we can get both in support of the Warriors and giving back to the community,” Ward said.

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Salvation Army Lieutenants Lester and Almeta Ward are ready for a busy Christmas season in Moose Jaw and surrounding area.

Kettle Campaign Beyond toy donations, one of the major fundraisers for the Salvation Army is also one of their most famous — the annual Kettle Campaign, which sees donation spots set up at businesses throughout the community, raising thousands of dollars for their many causes.

Things kick off on Nov. 22 and will run for a five-week period leading up to Christmas Eve. “Last year we had seven or eight kettles out and we’re looking to do a little better this year,” Ward said. “The people in Moose Jaw and surrounding area have always been very generous and supportive when giving back to the community.

“And it’s important that everyone knows that what’s given stays in the community, it goes to support the needs of the community, whether it’s food or toys or clothing, whatever it may be. And the generosity is just amazing.”

The biggest challenge when it comes to the Christmas Kettle campaign — and many of their ventures — is finding enough volunteers. Folks can man the donation stations for two-hour shifts, and the Salvation Army is looking for as many people as they can find to help.

“If there are people out there who would like to volunteer, we’d like them to reach out to us,” Ward said. “This isn’t about the Salvation Army, this is about being able to serve the community and be the hands and feet of Jesus and help people who would otherwise go hungry and without clothing and toys. This is community-driven, all hands on deck and we hope to have everyone who can help out.”

Those who wish to serve can call the Salvation Army Community and Family Services office at (306) 692-5899 for more information and to sign on.

Ward also made a point of thanking the business community for their support throughout the Kettle Campaign and beyond.

“They let us set up our kettles, they donate, they support and sometimes they match contributions, like with the backpacks,” Ward said. “We really appreciated Superstore partnering with us there, then there’s Safeway and Co-Op and Walmart, they all come along on the journey as we go through the Christmas season.”

The Toy Shop It all leads into one of the most heartwarming and positive events of the Christmas season.

Last year, the Salvation Army took a different approach to distributing donated toys to the community. Rather than simply hand out gifts to families, the Wards opened a ‘Toy Shop’ in the Citadel hall, giving parents a chance to choose their own toys for their children.

With thousands of offerings on hand, it was essentially Christmas toy shopping for free — and something that turned into an incredible experience for all involved.

“It was amazing last year, the reception we had for that,” Ward said. “It created so much dignity for the moms and dads, being able to walk into a facility and select toys for their son or daughter that they would love. And we make sure confidentiality is followed, right to a tee, so the parents can feel good about the entire process.”

And make no mistake, the Toy Shop will exist because of one important reason.

“The generosity of the community is what gives us the opportunity,” Ward said. “It’s amazing, it’s always amazing.”

One Year in Moose Jaw The Wards have now been a part of The Salvation Army of Moose Jaw for just over a year, having first arrived on Aug. 17, 2020. While they were cadets in the organization at the time, through hard work while maintaining their ministry both were commissioned as lieutenants this past June.

That means they’ll have more time to spend in the community and work on their myriad of projects on a continuous basis.

“Our first year here last year, we were still continuing our university learning remotely while we were here in Moose Jaw,” Ward said. “Now we have a little more freedom from the courses and studies, and that allows us to become a lot more involved in the community. We’re excited, we want to be a part of the hamper interview process, we want to be a part of the Toy Shop more than what we were in the past… just being out there and more involved in everything.”

One thing they’ve noticed in their time in Moose Jaw is just how much support the community gives to charitable organizations and how willing just about everyone is to lend a hand.

“Moose Jaw and Assiniboia and the surrounding area, the

A look at the annual Salvation Army Toy run and the incredible success it was this year.

love and appreciation and respect of people, it’s like it’s a small-town environment even though it’s a city,” Ward said. “Everyone seems to want to help out and step up when help is needed, and we couldn’t ask for anything better. We love the people in these communities, and it’s not very often when you ask people to step up that you don’t see someone step up.”

Keeping On Keeping On Once the holidays have passed and the new year is here, things will only slow down marginally at the Salvation Army.

There’s still the thrift shop and sorting centre to run on top of their regular charitable efforts.

And it never stops, not as long as there are people in need.

“The thing is, everything is hectic and busy, but as soon as you hit January, the Christmas season is behind us and planning already starts for another year,” Ward said. “If toys or donations come in after December, that’s all going back into the community… The needs of the community don’t just happen at Christmas, there’s always a need for food, for clothing and the necessities of life, every day of the year. And any donations that come in allow us to continue to do things throughout the course of the year.

And leads into the most important part of it all.

“What’s given stays in the community, goes to support the community and help the community and it will always be that way,” Ward said. “Everything we receive, it’s in and it’s out and wherever the needs arise we want to be there to support, help and assist and we’re not going to turn people away when they need support and assistance.”

He is not a fan of the movies that appear on the W channel, scoffing at what he says are predictable story lines and the chaste kiss that comes at the end of the movie. My late friend Margaret shared Housemate’s feelings and they would try their best to belittle my movie choices while mimicking the repartee between the leading characters. I staunchly ignored them.

Housemate, attempting in advance to take back the television remote, has tried to make a rule: he will pick our TV choices on one Saturday and I will pick on the next Saturday, and so on. I did ask who made him boss, but agreed to consider that compromise, not telling him that as Christmas draws closer, the Christmas movies are not limited to weekend viewing. He will have to discover that for himself as I engross myself in the movies of cheer and

Pharmacist Shares Top Tips for Keeping Coughs and Colds at Bay Tim Blunt, Shoppers Drug Mart Pharmacist/Owner

COVID-19 has completely changed the way we think about germs. Common symptoms we might have previously brushed off – like a sore throat, sniffles or cough – are no longer simply a minor inconvenience or annoyance. Many Moose Jaw residents are now more self-conscious when it comes to getting sick with visible symptoms like coughing or sneezing. Now more than ever, we don’t want to appear ill, and we certainly don’t want to feel ill either.

Though a cough or cold may appear minor, they can leave both kids and adults feeling miserable. We are already starting to see colds circulate which is why I’ve put together a few of my top tips to help you and your family stay healthy, including how to treat and manage your symptoms if you do come down with a bug: · Don’t forget your mask: The pandemic has shown us that wearing a mask, particularly in crowded and public spaces, is a simple yet effective way to keep germs away from your nose and mouth.

Continue wearing your mask this cold and cough season, to avoid any pesky germs you may encounter. It is also important to remember that if you are feeling unwell, avoid interacting with anyone you could pass on your cough or cold to. · Keep those hands clean: Washing your hands frequently is one of the best ways to remove germs and prevent the spread to others. Make sure you wash your hands for 20 seconds, with special attention to your palms, the back of each hand, between fingers, thumbs and under nails. If you need help keeping track of time, try humming or singing the “Happy Birthday” song twice. If

washing your hands with soap and water isn’t an option, I recommend using hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol – and it’s ideal to have available as a backup. Keep some in your bag and your little one’s backpack to help keep hands clean on the go. Clean hands are an important step in protecting against germs. · Talk to your local pharmacist: Despite our best efforts, sometimes we find ourselves with a cough or cold. We’ve all been there! If you find yourself or a loved one sick, an over-the-counter medication can provide fast and effective relief to help you get back to feeling like yourself again. Your local pharmacist can help you find the right medication to address your symptoms. If you are unwell, having a family member discuss your symptoms with a pharmacist or having a phone consultation will ensure you are keeping others safe and healthy. Some pharmacies also offer medication delivery services, which is a convenient option when feeling under the weather. Keeping your medicine cabinet stocked will also ensure you’re prepared to address any cold or cough quickly, so you or your loved one can feel better as soon as possible.

There are many steps we can take to protect ourselves and loved ones this cold and cough season. Don’t forget to visit your local pharmacy to get your flu shot this fall or winter— it’s your best shot at preventing the flu this season.

On a recent Sunday I convinced him we simply could not miss watching a movie on the W channel. The selling point was the Moose Jaw connection to “Love Strikes Twice.” Moose Jaw’s own Jeff Beesley was the movie’s director and therefore we had an immediate obligation to support Beesley’s talent and movie expertise.

Although he now lives in Winnipeg, we in Moose Jaw still consider him one of ours and always applaud when his name appears on the credit lines.

The movie was a fun two hours and it was during the commercials that I dropped the bomb about Christmas coming early, thinking that if Housemate were captivated by Love Strikes Twice, he might be amenable to watching at least 39 of the 40 new productions.

As much as he enjoyed Jeff’s production, he did not commit to watching Kiss Before Christmas, another Beesley movie that is one of those 40 new shows coming to our Channel 26.

I still have another Beesley movie to pitch: To Catch a Spy, a movie that has already aired but hopefully will be repeated in W channel tradition. So as not to miss it, we will simply have to stay glued to Channel 26!!!!

But in the true spirit of co-operation and compromise, and to include Housemate in the celebration of the season, I will find him a program on PBS that will make him forget that in just an hour or two, it will be back to the channel that he loves to hate.

A Distant View

Marc Legare is a philosopher and motorcycle adventurist.

He has travelled extensively, worked and lived in Australia, US, and across Canada.

He has a varied working career including: Firefighter, Lawyer, Navy, Motorcycle Importer, plus others.

He chose to return to southern Saskatchewan because of his family’s deep roots here.

As a columnist, Legare’s columns will offer food for thought

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

There is one positive happening amid all the negatives we are experiencing during this crisis. As with all troubled times, an individual’s true colors shine through.

Each person has inevitably shown just who they are, both good and bad, and relationships have been damaged or destroyed

True Colors as a result. People are growing closer to, and respecting more, people they once disliked. Conversely, others they knew well, or thought they did, are being seen for who they are. This is happening between once good friends and close families. After the pain is gone, this will be a wonderful thing.

During good times, it is easy for someone with selfish intentions, weakness of character, lack of genuine morals, or just plain old cowardice, to hide who they intrinsically are. During non-challenging, prosperous times, poor qualities are seldom, if ever, challenged. Furthermore, most people are not looking too closely at a persons inner being because few are under genuine threat. For greater certainty, if someone is not imposing anything tangible on you, such as the impositions of our modern restrictions, other peoples views, beliefs, and subsequent actions are of little concern.

The opaque wall the judgmental, unreasonable, characterless, and truth avoiding people hid behind has vanished. We are seeing, with glaring clarity, just who is who. That is painful for those who now

see low principles in once close friends or family. If you take a step back however, you realize it is a blessing in disguise.

When this fiasco runs it’s course and the damage caused by it heals, those who once associated with people who sold principles for pennies will eventually be glad those people are out of their lives.

For example, we now see, in bold technicolor, just who genuinely believes in the fundamental core value of freedom and who does not. We now know who is willing to follow truth as a guiding light in life, and those who ignore, dismiss, and turn a blind-eye to it without shame. We now know those who believe in the fundamental and intrinsic rights of the individual, and those who are obedient to a fault. We see the dividing line between those who are more than willing to call someone immoral simply because they are not “following the crowd,” and those who believe it is everyone’s choice not to do so. Best of all, the gullible and the easily swayed have displayed themselves as brightly as a Las Vegas casino sign.

Everyone has now taken off their figurative “mask” and has been forced to lay bare just who they are at their core. The positive of this is that many will have a complete realignment of who they have a high opinion of and who they do not.

This crisis has made many take stock of the shallow reasons they valued others and will change their vision of what constitutes a good person. Many will now genuinely place little to no value on people who are materially successful, attractive, or popular. Instead, they will see behind that illusory facade and look deeply at someone’s character and the principles they actually stand for. What a great change.

The true silver lining here is best summed up by C.S. Lewis; “Experience: That most brutal of teachers. You learn. My God do you learn.”

The next time you see someone showing their true colors and demonstrating how they do not care about truth or freedom, take heart. In the long run, truth always wins out.

New joint-use school has the most shared space anywhere, project manager says Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The new school will be three storeys tall, which means young children will start on the bottom and work their way up as they progress through elementary school.

The school needs to be this tall because it’s already sprawling on the site, said Sazynski. The school is 11,800 square metres (110,000 square feet) in size, which is “fairly substantial.”

Once city council officially approves the amended concept plan — likely in October — Colliers will tender the project in late winter or early spring. Activity should begin on the site in April.

Colliers has been speaking with city hall about the site work and how it would happen under the contractor’s direction, said Sazynski, noting he spoke with planning director Michelle Sanson recently about the initiative, including the amended concept plan.

The design for the new South Hill jointuse school is complete, and for the project manager, this school will have the most shared space of any building he has constructed.

Mike Sazynski, vice-president of Colliers Project Leaders, gave a presentation about the school’s development to Prairie South School Division trustees during their recent board of education meeting. He provided a brief history of the project and where development was.

Colliers and its design partners recently completed the floor plans for the school because the site drawings have been completed, he said.

The west side of the 34-acre property will be a bus corral, an idea that came from constructing the joint-use school in Swift Current, Sazynski remarked. This corral will allow buses to queue safely and miti-

gate traffic congestion.

A drive-thru on the south side will act as an external parking lot and enable parents to drop off their children.

As for the school, shared space will take up the middle portion of the building, while Prairie South will have the right side — east section — of the venue and Holy Trinity will have the left side — west section — of the building.

“I’ve been involved in design — both as a Ministry of Education employee as well as a consultant. For the last 12 years, I’ve been involved in six or seven new jointuse schools, and this one I think has the most balanced of shared space that I’ve seen,” said Sazynski, including the library, administrative offices, staff room and bathrooms.

“I’ve seen schools where there’s just a wall down the middle … this is not that.”

Prairie South School Division expected to finish the 2020-21 year with a deficit of nearly $2 million, but thanks to extra provincial funding, it will likely finish with a surplus of roughly $800,000.

As of Aug. 31, the unaudited financial statements showed the division finished the year with a surplus of $828,824. In comparison, it had expected to finish with a deficit of $1,885,679.

Total revenues were $91.1 million, while total expenses were $90.3 million.

While the surplus looks good now, that could change slightly because the division office will soon start working on yearend reports, business superintendent Ron Purdy said during the board of education’s recent October meeting.

Purdy presented a fourth-quarter/year-end report to the board since the Ministry of Education wanted a document with tentative numbers before the end of September. He had presented a similar report to trustees in early September containing third-quarter/year-end numbers.

Prairie South received $4,054,983 in additional revenue from the Ministry of Education last year. That money included: · $3.4 million to handle the pandemic

“There is the opportunity to develop the school and (Westheath) neighbourhood together. There are 34 acres, so it’s not something that you always see,” said Sazynski. “It’s pretty exciting.”

In an email to the Express, city hall said, “The City of Moose Jaw is eager for the school project to begin, and we continue to engage with the consultants to ensure all project requirements are satisfied. Ms. Sanson did have communication with Colliers (Oct. 5), and we will stay in contact while we work through questions related to the concept plan, which is a normal part of the procedure.

“A final plan will be presented to council once those questions have been resolved.”

Administration ended the year at $2.9 million versus the budget of $2.8 million.

Building/facilities ended with $15.1 million in expenses, compared to the budget of $13.4 million. This area is over budget, said Purdy, because of the emergent funding projects the division pursued and the spending of pandemic-related savings.

Transportation expenses were $6.0 million compared to the budget of $6.5 million.

This area declined because the division saved $100,000 in fuel costs and other repairs.

Expenses in school-generated funds were $432,664, compared to the budget of $1.4 million.

Complementary services expenses were $1.3 million, compared to the budget of $1.2 million.

External services expenses were $3.8 million compared to budget of $3.7 million.

The next PSSD board meeting is Tuesday, Nov. 2.

PSSD trustees hold spirited debate about implementing mandatory vaccines Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Division administration with Prairie South Schools (PSSD) will draft a policy that makes vaccines mandatory for staff after trustees held a heated discussion about whether to proceed with the move.

The board of education debated a recommendation during its Oct. 5 meeting about whether to authorize the director of education to create an administrative procedure that required all people in PSSD facilities to be either fully vaccinated or present a recent negative COVID-19 test.

After more than an hour of passionate debate and amendments, the board voted 7-3 to have education director Ryan Boughen create a pandemic-related administrative procedure, which includes employees and excludes all students.

Opposed were Mary Jukes, John Bumbac and Darcy Pryor.

In favour were Todd Johnson, Shawn Davidson, Gisele Wilson, Lew Young, Robert Bachmann, Crystal Froese and Brett Hagan.

Once Boughen develops a draft procedure, he will bring it back for official approval.

A slippery slope “I have requested that we seek legal advice regarding our authority as a board to recommend policy procedure without knowing if our request is supported by case law. This request has been disregarded,” said vice-chair Pryor.

“As a result, we are left to instinctively follow others. I ask that we be leaders and we take our time to make wise and careful decisions, decisions that have far-reaching consequences.”

Pryor has heard the rationale that staff and volunteers be vaccinated to provide a safe environment for students and staff.

However, she believes this thinking is a “slippery slope” since she failed to understand how this directive could be mandated for one group and not another.

In less than one month, she continued, the division has moved from not asking about people’s private health matters to mandating masks and potentially mandating vaccines.

“It goes against my own ethics and morals to force, coerce or mandate an individual to act in opposition of their own morals, values and human rights … ,” Pryor added.

“I value the importance of vaccines and as a community doing our part to be safe. I worry about the long-term consequences if we do not take our time to carefully consider this administrative procedure.”

Speaking for the voiceless It’s unfortunate that the pandemic has negatively affected society so much, including education, but trustees need to

remember that youths under age 12 can’t speak for themselves, said Young. However, a vaccine is coming for this age group — a development he championed — since they are vulnerable.

Young knows people who have contracted COVID-19, ended up in the hospital, and later died. He noted that that could happen to any of them, which is why the board was obligated to provide a safe environment for everyone in PSSD. The provincial government decided that vaccine passports were necessary, while other school divisions have taken the lead on developing similar policies, he added. Thus, the PSSD board can create an administrative procedure mandating the same thing.

Enforcing the directive The board might have the authority to order division administration to create this procedure but enforcing it and asking staff to reveal private health matters could lead to dismissals and firings and a lack of bus drivers, teachers and janitors, said Bumbac.

Furthermore, it’s known that vaccinated people can still transmit the coronavirus, so they can also put students’ safety in jeopardy.

“There is no doubt in my mind that if we pass this, a month (or) two months from now, we will be asked to be able to do that (ask for vaccination status) for students,” he continued, which would likely create pushback — just as masks did — from parents.

Bumbac “firmly believed that it (was) coercion (and) manipulation to be able to get more people vaccinated,” while he was worried that this could lead to lawsuits and the police being called to enforce this measure.

An ‘extremely politically charged’ matter Creating this procedure could make principals vice-principals responsible for reviewing vaccine passports, which would create backlash among some parents attending extracurricular activities or sports, said Davidson.

Since this is an “extremely politically charged” and “hyper-politicized” issue, he was nervous about the implications if the board extended the mandate beyond staff and

volunteers.

Vaccines for non-school staff Based on the initial motion, Bachmann wondered how the division would define facilities, considering there are school-sanctioned activities in non-PSSD buildings in places such as Hutterite colonies. He wondered if those areas would be excluded from the procedure. “ … we need to think about the implications, especially in those non-Prairie South-owned facilities — volunteers, German teachers, people who are not our employees but have regular interactions with our students,” he said, adding he wondered how far the board would push enforcement.

Let the province decide Staff have managed this crisis for the past 20 months and filled a role they weren’t hired to do, Froese said. Meanwhile, the board isn’t responsible for making this decision since it’s a provincial government matter.

As a city councillor, Froese knows what the pandemic has done to Moose Jaw, how people have died and health-care professionals are “maxed out.” She is fearful for students who can’t be vaccinated, especially since COVID-19 has evolved.

“But in the greater sense of good and to try to stop something bad from happening — that’s my greatest fear in all this, is that we have something tragic happen in our school division,” she added. “I don’t know if I could sleep at night knowing if I turned a policy or procedure down about this, and a few months later, that happens.”

It’s Agriculture Month in Saskatchewan

By Eugenie Officer, Ag Journalist - Moose Jaw Express

paign aims at increasing public trust through education.

“Its all about recognizing what agriculture does here in the province of Saskatchewan. People know it’s the number one industry here in the province, and this month is a way of recognizing the work that the ag industry does.” shared Provincial Agriculture Minister, David Marit.

“As a province, we’ve become more urbanized,” Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan Executive Director Clinton Monchuk said. “Opportunities to connect consumers and farmers are increasingly important in today’s world. Agriculture Month offers an opportunity to engage and build trust with Saskatchewan residents by using the hashtag #CelebrateAg.” Those who post photos along with the #CelebrateAg hashtag will have a chance to win a 250 dollar gift card Kelly and Julie-Ann Howe from Moose Jaw were the featured farmers for Agriculture Month celebrated in 2018 and run their farm Bar Over 3H Livestock.

October is again proclaimed as Agriculture Month in the province. This year, the aim is to celebrate the industry’s resiliency, even in this challenging year.

“Saskatchewan people have a long history of pulling together when times are tough, especially in the agriculture community,” says Saskatchewan Farm and Food Care.

By organizing events, campaigns, and programming throughout October, members of the ag industry are encouraged to share their stories. The hashtag #CelebrateAg is geared around allowing producers to showcase how our food is grown for people who may not know. The cam-

from the Federated Co-op. Participants must upload an image related to farming or food in one of several categories; all details about the contest can be found on the Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan website.

Minister Marit exclaimed that some of the stories being shared on social media by the next generation of farmers and ranchers are genuinely inspiring and showcase what the #CelebrateAg campaign is all about.

Hon. David Marit also shared that one of the critical things that makes agriculture such a unique industry is its ability to bring family, friends, and communities closer together.

“I have many good friends who have the grandparents, the parents and the children, all working hand in hand, it’s an amazing story to tell, and Agriculture Month helps share that story”.

To learn how to participate in Agriculture Month and to discover the complete listing of events, producers are encouraged to visit farmfoodcaresk.org and follow Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan on its social platforms. The site includes a list of ideas of ways to participate in the celebration including some of the following: • Profile a local farmer in your newspaper • Plan a Facebook Live event • Take a virtual farm tour from the comfort of your own home at FarmFood360.org • Arrange for a farmer to present to your school, Chamber or community group • Contact Agriculture in the Classroom SK to find out about activities and resources available for your school Other organized events will be posted throughout the month as they become available.

Emergency Order Gives Province Sweeping Powers Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The provincial government says it will not declare martial law if the pandemic grows out of control, even though a recent emergency order gives it the power to do so.

When the Government of Saskatchewan issued a new provincial emergency order in mid-September, the order’s purpose was to support the health-care system by allowing for better labour mobility through flexible scheduling and redirecting workers to areas experiencing pressures, a news release said.

A previous letter of understanding (LOU) enabled the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) to ensure that the necessary staff were in the right place to help with the pandemic.

The LOU expired earlier this year.

“Given the urgent and immediate needs of the health-care system, under the authority of The Emergency Planning Act and the declaration of emergency, the premier has issued a minister’s order reinstating the previously negotiated LOU among the SHA, affiliates and unions,” the news re-

lease added.

Minister’s Order The Minister’s Order relies on sections 18 and 18.1 of The Emergency Planning Act to enforce the emergency declaration.

Under the header “Powers of minister in an emergency,” section 18.1 contains 15 clauses that allow a minister to make decisions that border on marital law.

Some questionable clauses include: · D): acquire or use any real or personal property that the minister considers necessary to prevent, combat or alleviate the emergency · F) Control or prohibit travel to or from any area of Saskatchewan · H) Provide, maintain and co-ordinate emergency medical, welfare, law enforcement and other essential services in any part of Saskatchewan · I) Evacuate persons and remove persons or livestock and personal property from any area that is or may be affected by an emergency and make arrangements for the adequate care and protec-

tion of those persons or livestock and the personal property · J) Authorize the entry into any building or on any land, without warrant, by any person while implementing an emergency plan · K) Cause the demolition or removal of any trees, structures or crops if the demolition or removal is necessary or appropriate to reach the scene of an emergency, to attempt to forestall its occurrence or to combat its progress · L) Procure or fix prices for food, clothing, fuel, equipment, medical supplies or other essential supplies and the use of any property, services, resources or equipment within any part of Saskatchewan during the emergency period Provincial government response The Express reached out to the premier’s office for comment about the emergency order. Instead, a spokesman from the Ministry of Justice and Attorney General responded by email.

“The Government of Saskatchewan will not implement martial law and will not invoke any emergency powers beyond what is required to manage the spread of COVID-19 and ensure the stability of our health-care system,” the spokesman said.

The province’s chief medical health officer, Dr. Saqib Shahab, has issued several

public health orders that contain pandemic-related measures. These orders are issued under The Public Health Act, 1994 and The Disease Control Regulations, continued the email.

The Emergency Planning Act allows the government to take necessary actions to address crises, including fire, flood, or other disasters. Subsection 18(1) of The Emergency Planning Act contains order-making powers that can be used once an emergency declaration is made, the email stated.

However, powers such as clause 18(1)(j) do not have general application and must be specifically authorized.

The government is relying on the powers in The Emergency Planning Act to co-ordinate medical care in Saskatchewan, as authorized by clause 18(1)(h).

“To be clear, The Emergency Planning Act and the powers it provides in an emergency have existed long before the pandemic and are similar to emergency planning legislation in other provinces … ,” the spokesman said.

“COVID-19 remains a significant public health risk,” he added, “and the Government of Saskatchewan aims to ensure safe and appropriate patient care across Saskatchewan through the use of clause 18(1) (h) of The Emergency Planning Act.”

Police ticket motorist for causing crash near Fifth and Stadacona Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Police Service has ticketed one motorist for causing a collision that recently shut down the intersection of Fifth Avenue Northwest and Stadacona Street West.

Emergency personnel — including police, fire and EMS — responded to a two-vehicle collision around 12:15 p.m. on Oct. 4.

A grey four-door sedan driving south on Fifth Avenue Northwest allegedly T-boned a black four-door vehicle heading east on Stadacona Street West. However, the police did not say who was at fault.

Neither motorist was injured, although the collision caused $15,000 in damages.

Resident Cheryl Sylvestre was sitting on her deck when she heard a loud bang. Looking, she saw the outcome of the crash and snapped a picture with her phone.

“That woke me up,” she said, adding it was likely a wake-up call for the two female motorists as well.

The police ticketed one of the drivers for being at fault. This effectively closes the investigation into this incident.

Moose Jaw firefighters check over a vehicle involved in a collision on Oct. 4. Neither of the motorists was injured.

Businesses host barbecue to help support food bank’s new building

Crews with Winmar spray thermal cork shield material on the exterior of the new building for the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank. The material will help lower the charity’s utility costs. Photo by Jason G. Antonio The smell of hot dogs and hamburgers filled the air near the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank’s new building as several Saskatchewan businesses held a barbecue to support the charity.

Winmar, in partnership with Custom Works Contracting and Vipeq of Saskatchewan, hosted a barbecue at 270 Fairford Street West on Oct. 6 to support the non-profit organization. Besides purchasing food and drinks, visitors could also learn about Vipeq’s thermal cork shield material, which Winmar was spraying on the building’s exterior as a type of insulation.

The barbecue was a list-minute idea that the Winmar team thought would be good to create, said owner Kyle Jacques.

It was also a sound way to encourage the community to support the food bank with financial or food donations.

“It’s been good. I think we’ve filled up four bins of food so far for donations (and) we’ve got quite a bit of cash in the cash box … ,” he continued. “The food bank does a great service for the community … we’re just paying it forward.”

Final numbers from the barbecue included $1,178.50 in monetary donations and 225 pounds of food ($585 value).

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express Moose Jaw Co-op donated the food, while United Rentals provided the lift that contractors used to spray the thermal cork material, and Winmar and Custom Work Contracting donated the cork spray and labour — a $40,000 value.

Winmar teamed up with the food bank after learning the latter was having difficulties finding contractors to fix its new location, said Jacques. So the company offered to be the general contractor to provide services for the interior and find other sub-contractors.

The food bank had trouble finding a contractor to spruce up the exterior, so Winmar stepped up to look after that concern as well.

The building looks amazing because it has been given almost a complete new facelift, added Jacques.

Jacques has had a relationship for several years with Vipeq’s Saskatchewan rep, Adam Schaffer, and knew of that company’s unique thermal cork shield material. Winmar recently became a certified applicator of the substance, which is why it was spraying the material throughout the day.

The thermal cork shield will not only update the look of the building, but it will also improve the efficiency of the building by adding a “thermal break” to the exterior, ex-

plained Schaffer. This means the charity won’t have to use as much heat in the winter or air conditioning in the summer.

It’s also flexible, acts as a sound barrier, is fire retardant, and lasts 10 times longer than traditional exterior finishes.

The material also has a 15-year warranty.

The substance is made from granulated cork and harvested from the same cork tree in Portugal every eight to 10 years, making it renewable and environmentally friendly, said Schaffer.

“Low-dense cork means high insulation value … ,” he continued. “In the 20 years this has been around, it has not failed, so we imagine decades of use (for it).”

Schaffer added that Vipeq thinks food banks are important, which is why the company jumped at the chance to support the charity and help enhance its new — but beatup — building.

Warriors’ Korczak looks back on NHL Time camp experience as new season gets underway with New York Rangers a positive as high-scoring standout kicks off new campaign Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

There’s little question that at some point playing high-level professional hockey will become pretty much passe for Moose Jaw Warriors forward Ryder Korczak.

But for just over two weeks last month, it was all as eye-opening an experience as there could be.

Prior to the Warriors facing the Saskatoon Blades in their home-and-home season-opening series this past weekend, the 19-year-old Yorkton product was in training camp with the National Hockey League’s New York Rangers. It was the first taste of the highest level of the sport for Korczak, and one he looked back on after a practice leading up to the home opener.

“It was a great experience in New York, but it’s definitely nice to be back in Moose Jaw,” Korczak said. “It’s a great group of guys and a great coaching staff and management, it’s going to be an exciting year.

There’s lots to take away from New York that I’ll try to bring back to Moose Jaw here.

“It’s pretty cool seeing those big guys

there, (Mika) Zibanejad and all those guys, it’s definitely something special and I’ll cherish the memory. It was a privilege to be there and I’m not taking it for granted.”

To say the least, Korczak is a confident hockey player. But even a highly-touted prospect will be a little wide-eyed when it comes to skating alongside guys he’d only seen on Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts and in video games.

“The first couple of days it was a little bit surreal, but as the days went on it got a little bit better,” Korczak said. “I was able to get more comfortable seeing them every day, but when you’re right there it’s something really special… toward the end of camp I was a lot more comfortable, and that’s when I play my best. So I was able to settle in a lot more as it went on.”

In the end, the Rangers — who selected Korczak in the third round, 75th overall in the 2021 NHL Draft this past July — were happy with what they’d seen from their young prospect.

“They told me I had a good camp, they think I’m one of the top guys in the WHL

and they have high expectations for me, so that’s definitely what I’m going to be focusing on,” Korczak said.

It didn’t take long for Korczak to get back into the swing of things, either — he had two assists in the Warriors’ home opener, a 7-1 win over the Saskatoon Blades on Friday, and added another helper in Saturday’s 4-2 loss in Saskatoon.

“It’s definitely pretty cool being back Moose Jaw Warriors forward Ryder Korczak returned from here and seeing New York Rangers training camp with high hopes for the WHL the guys again,” season.

Korczak said. it, but I really am, I’m excited to see our “This is a special group and this is going to fans and it’s going to be a great season.” be a big year. I keep saying I’m excited for

AAA Warriors lose close one to Swift Current Legionnaires score late to take 3-2 victory at Mosaic Place Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Warriors goaltender Ryan Bain makes a save in close against the Legionnaires.

If there’s any question as to the standard the Moose Jaw AAA Warriors have set for their crew this season, the way they reacted to their 3-2 loss to the Swift Current

Legionnaires last Tuesday night said it all.

The team’s coaching staff let their charges know in no uncertain terms how they felt about their performance on the night and how things will need to improve — especially when it comes to following what the team has worked on in practice since day one.

“It comes down to execution, and it’s just not good enough,” said head coach Trevor Weisgerber. “We’re only three games in and it starts with our older guys, they have to be better. We’ve been around here a month and a bit, and with our habits, we just have to keep working on it.”

Wyatt Lacoste attempts to get a shot off against a Swift Current defender.

One of the major sticking points was how the game started. The Warriors once again gave up the first goal, this time when Swift Current’s Noah Mitchell scored with 4:52 left in the first, marking the third straight game Moose Jaw was chasing early.

“We haven’t had a good start yet, all three games we haven’t played well and given up the first goal,” Weisgerber said. “Our preparation has to be much better, and I can take the blame for that. But at the end of the day we have to come here and play better and we weren’t good enough here tonight.”

Wyatt Lacoste scored for Moose Jaw before the period was out, but they’d find themselves once again behind on the scoreboard when Carter Herman scored for the Legionnaires midway through the second. Again the Warriors would rally late in the period, this time when Rowan Calvert scored with nine seconds to play.

That set up the final frame, where the Warriors carried the play from the opening puck drop. But one Legionnaires rush, one

rebound and one turnover midway through the period let to Swift Current’s Matt Ripplinger scoring the game-winner.

The Warriors had a power play late in the game but were unable to generate any solid scoring chances, and the Legionnaires would escape with their one-goal win.

“With our effort, even systems-wise with breakdowns and things like that, it starts from our backend with our D,” Weisgerber said. “We just have to do things quicker and put the puck on the tape, and that just wasn’t there.”

Ryan Bain stopped 26 shots in taking the loss, Colby Watson had 33 saves for Swift Current.

Moose Jaw’s Calvert looking forward to another battle between Warriors and Pats First meeting of regular season between Western Hockey League archrivals took place at Mosaic Place on Oct. 8 Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw Warriors forward Atley Calvert has a special perspective when it comes to the long-standing Western Hockey League rivalry between his crew and the Regina Pats.

Not only has he been a part of the whole thing the last two seasons, the Moose Jaw Minor Hockey product has seen games over the years at the Civic Centre and in Mosaic Place where all sorts of weird mayhem has taken place.

Heading into their first meeting of the 2021-22 campaign on Oct. 8, the 18-yearold forward and his teammates were looking forward to resuming hostilities.

“It’s going to be fun; every time we play Regina, the intensity bumps up a little bit and the boys are ready to go,” Calvert said after practice a day before the meeting. “It going to be a good game and a lot of fun.”

The Warriors and Pats faced each other four times in the East Division Hub last season and things were fairly pedestrian: nothing too crazy out of the quartet of exceptionally close contests, which saw the two crews split the season series two games apiece.

That wasn’t the case in the final game between the two teams at the end of the 2019-20 season.

Warriors defenceman and now team captain Daemon Hunt flipped the puck into the stands at the final whistle of the Pats 7-4 victory at Brandt Centre back on Mar. 3, 2021, a seemingly innocuous move. But the game was Pats’ goaltender Spencer

Moose Jaw Warriors forward Atley Calvert has seen many a battle against the Regina Pats over the years, and now finds himself front and centre in the action Welke’s first WHL win, and Hunt’s donation to the crowd caused Regina veteran Robbie Holmes to come off the bench and attack the 17-year-old, inciting a donneybrook that resulted in two players from each team being suspended.

Before that, you had Cody Beach stirring things up, Dustin Slade instigating all sorts of craziness and, of course, Theo Fleury making sure fight fans got their money’s worth.

“It’s always a battle against Regina, there are always some sort of shenanigans that go on,” Calvert said with a grin. “I can’t say for sure about (Friday) but I’m sure there’s going to be something that’s going on, every time we’ve played them something happens.”

Ideally for the Warriors, it all ended up with a Moose Jaw win. And if things go the way they have through the first couple of games, Calvert will likely find himself

figuring into the result.

His performance in the home opener against Saskatoon was one of his best in a Warriors uniform, as he generated a host of scoring chances while finishing with four official shots — while hitting yet another crossbar. Calvert did get his just desserts, though, with a perfect tip in front of the net finding its way home for his first goal of the season.

“I’ve hit quite a few actually already this season and especially in the pre-season, but it’s all good,” Calvert said of his ringers. “Getting that (goal) in the first game there kind of broke the ice for me, so I was happy with that.

“As a player you want to be around the net and try and get as many scoring chances a game as you can and hopefully a couple go in here and there. I feel like I’ve put myself in good spots and if you put yourself in good spots they’re going to go in eventually.”

The Warriors will be looking for a solid result not just against the Pats, but all their opponents this season. And they believe they have the horses to do it.

“It’s exciting,” Calvert said. “We have a good group here, it was good to get in those first couple of games and I’m just looking forward to get things going the rest of the season.”

Cornerstone battles to five-set win over Vanier in high school boys volleyball showdown Falcons take 2-0 lead before Vanier rally sees Cornerstone finish with 3-2 victory Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Cornerstone Christian School Falcons are the lone undefeated team remaining in the Moose Jaw high school boys volleyball league, but as has been the case any time the top three teams have faced each other, it’s once again by the slimmest of margins.

The Falcons took a 3-2 (25-17, 28-26, 24-26, 20-25, 15-12) win over the Vanier Vikings in a battle of the unbeatens last Tuesday night at Cornerstone, with the two teams taking to the court in a match that more than lived up to expectations.

“There was just a little dip there in the middle, that’s kind of been our nemesis, allowing other teams to have a bit of a run,” said Cornerstone coach Cam Lewis.

“But it’s still early in the season, and I’m really excited about what we have going on here. It’s a great league this year and lots of real tough games, which helps us all improve. It’s fun being in games like this and makes it interesting.”

In the early going, it looked as if it was

going to be a short night. After winning the first two sets, the Falcons took a substantial lead in what could have been the deciding game — but true to form, the Vikings didn’t go down easy.

“Our boys just seem to love to be behind,” joked Vanier coach Levi Broda. “Against Central the other night they came back, and they just seem to do things the hard way. But they never quit and every time I challenge them, they accept the challenge.

“It would have been easy to give in in the third set and put the whole bench in, but nope, they battled back and it was super awesome not to go home early tonight.”

Just looking at the scores, it would seem Vanier had all the momentum heading into the deciding set. But Cornerstone had battled back from a 25-11 deficit to make things close and would carry that momentum over into the fifth. The Falcons would lead by as many as six points before finally finishing things off.

“The thing we’re focussing on is terminat-

ing plays, and I thought we did that well especially when it mattered,” Lewis said.

“We had a bit of a letdown in our passing and defensive game there, which is just the mental toughness… we felt we were cruising pretty good and maybe thought we were better than we were, especially in that fourth game when we didn’t play well at all.”

Given their start, Lewis would have liked to have seen an early finish, but gave credit where credit was due.

“They’re a well-coached team,” he said.

“They do the right things right and we made some mistakes and can’t do that against a team like that.”

Vanier fell to 3-1 with the loss but left Broda once again impressed with his troops.

“We did some things against a really good team that I didn’t think we were capable of, and there were also some really good reminders that we have to work at practice to shore up our serve receive and defence,” he said.

“We’re a young team, and all of this is brand new for them. We aren’t carrying over our momentum from our past success, it’s a fresh start and we have to relearn a lot of

lessons. Games like this are going to help accelerate that. So we’ll just keep moving forward.”

The Falcons are now 5-0 after taking a three-set win over Riverview on Thursday but are under no illusion that things will be easy going forward — not with four teams in the league going to war night in and night out this season.

“It’s a fun season, it makes it great for fans and I think people from Moose Jaw would be entertained and should come out,” Lewis said. “There’s some pretty solid volleyball being played in Moose Jaw right now and every time these teams face each other it’s going to be a good game.”

In the other boys league game on Tuesday, Peacock defeated Riverview 3-0 (25-10, 25-6, 25-18).

In the lone girls league game held the same evening, the Peacock Toilers (3-0) continued their dominating run, taking a 3-0 (2512, 25-11, 25-13) victory over the Vanier Spirits.

In boys league action Thursday, Cornerstone downed Riverview 25-17, 25-15, 25-16 in their aforementioned contest. The Royals fell to 0-5. Central (3-2) rolled to a 3-0 (25-17, 25-15, 25-16) victory over Peacock (1-4).

In girls league action, Central defeated Vanier in four games, though scores were unavailable.

Games between Briercrest Christian Academy on both the boys and girls sides were once again postponed this week due to the COVID outbreak in Caronport last month.

Peacock takes narrow win over Vanier in high school football action Tornadoes pick up first win of season with 21-6 victory, Vikings continue to show rapid improvement Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

It might have been a little later than the two teams would have liked, but the Peacock Tornadoes and Vanier Vikings finally got to meet on the field in South 3A 12-Man Football League action on last Tuesday night.

And sure enough, the contest ended up as a hard-fought battle between two teams on a rebuilding path.

In the end, the Tornadoes emerged with a 21-6 win, marking the first victory of the season for Peacock and another solid step forward for Vanier.

Things were close from start to finish, as Peacock’s Josh Johnson scored the game’s first major with 5:56 remaining in the first quarter. It would be the first of three touchdowns on the day for the Tornadoes running back, as he’d add another one-yard plunge before the half was out and add some key insurance points with another goal line dive with five minutes remaining.

The Vikings, meanwhile, managed to stay in touch with the Tornadoes all game, finally breaking through when Hudson Tallon scored on a one-yard run of his own with 2:36 to play in the third quarter.

Johnson finished the game with 12 carries for 51 yards, while Braxton Hooper had 10 carries for 115 yards to lead Peacock’s rushing attack. All told, the Tornadoes rolled

up 286 yards of their 362 yards on the day on the ground.

Keaton Doerksen was 4-for-13 passing for 76 yards for Peacock; Kevin Martin had their longest reception at 40 yards.

Tallon capped the contest with 13 carries for 61 yards for the Vikings, while Teagan Bennett had 10 carries for 34 yards.

Tayden Hardwicke was 2-for-4 passing for 12 yards, with Natan Shiferaw making their longest catch at 10 yards.

Vanier had a total of 97 yards of offence, 85 of those on the ground.

The contest was originally scheduled for Sept. 25, but the short-manned Vikings ran into COVID concerns and the contest was postponed.

The Tornadoes improved to 1-2 with the win, while Vanier fell to 0-3-1 — with their tie coming on Oct. 1 when they battled the Estevan Elecs to a 12-12 draw.

League action continued on Friday when Central (3-1) traveled to Yorkton, while Saturday games saw Weyburn (3-0) taking on Vanier at 1 p.m. and Estevan (0-2-1) at Peacock at 3:15 p.m. Both games were at Gutheridge Field, scores were unavailable as of press time.

The Warriors won 7-1, after a slow first period.

What was cool to see was the rare short-handed goal, another goal on a breakaway and the hat trick by 16-year-old rookie Yager.

Warriors have the makings of a really competitive team this year.

Attendance wasn’t announced, nor published anywhere that I could find.

A generous estimate is 1,200 in a 4,400 seat arena. The low attendance generated speculation on Coffee Row and online that people opposed to showing vaccination credentials, or just opposed to vaccination, stayed home.

That was likely one reason, along with some confusion over just what is needed to be shown at the gate and fans just not

wanting to be in a crowd with this pandemic.

Other reasons exist. This Scribbler knows one couple who decided they are getting too old for the cold. Another friend decided that $1,000 plus for a pair of season tickets at the early bird price is too much.

And another decided after disappointment with the 2019 season to not renew but is open to attending if the team measures up.

In the old Civic Centre the Warriors had a core of never miss fans between 2,000 and 2,200. With half that number at the first regular game the Warriors have a massive marketing challenge to get bums in the seats.

One hundred years ago, Saskatchewan people were not so lucky. People lived far apart and didn’t have cars, ambulances, or airplanes to help them travel to hospitals quickly. When they did have to call a doctor, they had to pay dearly.

In this presentation, participants will hear about these obstacles, some of the ways Saskatchewan people met these challenges and made health care better for all of Canada.

The British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) – 10:00 am, November 30 In this presentation, we will hear an overview of how during the Second World War, recruits from Canada, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere trained at air bases across the country, including twenty-one flying training units in Saskatchewan. We will learn how the wide-open prairie skies made an ideal location for these new pilots to train with the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP) and about some of the aircraft that were flown.

Re: COVID-19 Vaccination

The evidence is clear that this has become a pandemic of the unvaccinated, who are six times more likely to test positive than someone who is fully vaccinated, and five times more likely to be hospitalized. It’s increasingly troubling to hear about COVID-19 tragedies that are preventable: people fighting for their lives in hospital, apologizing to their families for putting off vaccination; frightened patients who realize they’re actually going to die of COVID-19 and leave family members to cope without them; unvaccinated parents who wind up hospitalized along with their children; young adults dying in the prime of life, unvaccinated.

It need not happen. There is clear medical evidence that vaccines are highly effective in reducing the impact of COVID-19. In fact, they are the best tool we have. We desperately need more of you to step up and get vaccinated. Having as many people vaccinated as possible is our best hope for getting out of this pandemic and reclaiming our lives.

Please get vaccinated to protect yourself and your family. Even if you survived the virus, you could end up suffering from “Long COVID” symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, and problems with concentration. The Delta variant is causing outbreaks in our schools and daycare centres; infected children can get very sick and can even end up in hospital. Get

vaccinated to help keep young children safe until they become eligible for their own vaccine.

Get the vaccine as an act of kindness for your neighbours, some of whom are now waiting even longer for surgeries or organ transplants, and who might even die waiting. Consider vaccination as a way to honour exhausted doctors and nurses who have been doing their best under terrible conditions for far too many months. Do it so that we don’t have to close more emergency departments while health care resources are redirected to the COVID-19 crisis. Get vaccinated so that long-term care homes will no longer have to increase restrictions (and reduce quality of life), based on the local risk of COVID-19 transmission.

Nineteen months into this tragedy, the fact that there are still so many unvaccinated people in our province is causing unnecessary suffering and death. In the end, don’t we all want the same thing? Fewer people getting sick or dying? A return to normal, less stressful times? The pandemic no longer dominating our lives?

Please consider a COVID-19 vaccination as your opportunity to help us get there sooner. Your life – and the lives of the people you love – may well depend on it.

Re: Advocating for Domestic Violence

ing Assessment, and if completed in 18 months will not have a Criminal Record. Really!!!

We adjourned Criminal Court 4 times, wasting court’s time, wasting judge’s time, COVID backlog, and then no Criminal Charges?

Why did we not charge person with harassment in Provincial Court and not call it Criminal???

We have a Domestic Violence Course in Sk. but it is booked solid for 18 months I am told, so when Prosecutor suggested, the answer was, ‘won’t bother with that.’

This is where you learn your behaviors are not normal and that is why I say stiffer fines to hire more facilitators to instruct Course.

“The File Hills Tribal Council in Fort Qu’Appelle, Sk., has a 52 week DV Prevention Program on reserves and jail. Attendees say it would have been easier going to jail. Restorative Director, Bev Poitras believes helping perpetrators learn how to change their behavior will be more effective in stopping DV than helping women or families flee to shelters.” QUOTED from CBC, March 08, 2020.

Please look into this program as I believe it would help victims and perpetrators to learn a healthy way to live in a relationship. Anger Management Course done online: anyone can sign in to anyone’s accounts or computers to do an online course. I propose an online Anger Management Course should be done on a zoom platform in a group setting. That way perpetrators are learning from others how to change the anger, what is healthy, what is not acceptable, and how to calm yourself before the gasket blows.

I would also like to see a DV course in high schools.

We should be educating the students as to what is acceptable and what is not acceptable in relationships.

A lot of children live everyday of their lives in homes that have DV and have no idea that homes have love

and compassion, not just someone telling you, you are stupid, you are bad, you don’t know anything, never hearing you did good, you tried your hardest, be kind, do something nice for someone each day, please and thank you, I love you no matter what. I believe if educated about the so-called normal, do not let peers and bullies pressure you into something you do not want to do in your life, but because peers are pushing you to do things, you do them.

How would you feel, if when your family walks in your door, they are blaming themselves for everything that went wrong, questioning if they did the right thing by leaving, wanting to go back. They have been put thru the wringer, mentally and emotionally exhausted, fearing for their lives, being stalked, being tracked, every text message read, and every phone call listened to.

It became the saddest day of my life. It takes a lot of time to love these victims back to believing in themselves. I am advocating for All the fatalities and statistics, and all the spouses, (male, female, gay, lesbian, etc.), and all the children that have to live this life as they cannot find a safe place to get to, and no family to support them.

Thank God I am retired and have time to look into all this research, phone numbers, email addresses, write emails, make phone calls, and ask questions.

Most people fleeing DV do not have the time, they are mentally and emotionally exhausted and cannot think straight and are overwhelmed to even start this prolonged fight for themselves.

Please help by calling or writing every government person you can find a number for. The government has increased DUI charges numerous times; now it is time to increase domestic violence charges before we loose our loved one forever when they become statistics.

Sandy Hedstrom

This letter is a plea to everyone in Saskatchewan who has not been vaccinated against COVID-19. I urge you, please make the decision to get the shot. Do it for yourself, your family, your community. Do it so that we can end this pandemic and get back to some type of normal. I understand that a small percentage of you cannot get vaccinated, such as for a medical reason.

This letter is for everyone else.

Our province is in serious trouble. We’re hitting the kind of COVID-19 records we don’t want: more than 600 new cases, more than 300 people in hospital, more than 60 people in intensive care, more than 700 people dead. We’re running out of ICU beds. Some adults with COVID-19 are using pediatric ICU beds. Little kids are being hospitalized with COVID-19. Doctors are on the verge of having to make awful decisions about who lives and who dies.

The worrisome part for you is that most of the persons who are getting COVID-19 are not fully vaccinated.

And three-quarters of ICU patients are unvaccinated.

For those of you who remain unvaccinated during this deadly fourth wave of the pandemic, your odds of getting COVID-19 have gone way up. So have the odds of becoming very ill, or ending up in hospital struggling to breathe, or even dying.

I have been ADVOCATING for Domestic Violence for 10 months now. The more reading, researching I do, the more roadblocks I am finding.

Sask. Has the Highest rate of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE (DV) in all of Canada per Provinces. I have been working, researching, and talking to a lot of Government Agencies and Ministers of Social Work, Minister of Justice, Chief of Staff for Minister of Justice and those representing the Premier. The Pandemic has really taken a toll on our Mental Health System. I am seeing and hearing of many more DV offences but the vicious cycle of the honeymoon phrase sucks the victim back into the abuse and in the end we have fatalities and statistics, because victims cannot find a safe place to go and get help and counselling to learn a healthy way to live.

That being said, I believe we need stiffer fines, stiffer sentences, police need to be able to hand out more no contact orders, Social Services and Child Protection Services should be able to check on child visits that are court ordered after no contact is over-turned, and Social Services and CPS should be writing reports so judges have to reconsider the visitation they have made for offender when there was a no contact order in place. Judges should always start with a supervised visitation. Why should the children, victims of DV be put back into the same house with no support and safety plan in place?

I have been informed that all Criminal Court charges are decided by Federal Government and All Court of Queen’s Bench Charges (including Family Court) are decoded by Provincial Government. So I learned this year, a person can be charged with Criminal Harassment, be found Guilty, receive 18 months Probation, mandated to Anger Management Course, Mental Health Counselling, Personal Counselling and Learn-

Re: Hospital Beds – Important Medical Programs Cancelled Due to COVID I enjoy CHAB and listen to Paul Martin’s Commentary after the Noon News.

Last week he said something critical. He said (paraphrase) “If the hospitals are full then there are not enough beds.”

Dah! I checked. In 1985 Canada began a campaign of closing hospital beds. Canada now has the same number of hospital beds per capita as Mexico – way lower than the rest of the world.

If Paul Martin figured out the need for more beds – and convinced me – why didn’t some Hospital Administrator figure it out and convince the Minister of Health?

Here it is again: ‘If a hospital runs out of beds because of COVID patients, then hospitals need more beds’.

More beds mean Cancer treatment, Transplants and other programs can continue.

And the beds? Ever hear of ‘Field Hospitals’?

Alberta and Saskatchewan have called in the Army for help.

Maybe ask them to bring their Field Hospitals with them.

Re: Comments on some stories I’d like to respond to some articles published in two recent Expresses.

Firstly, welcome back to Ron Walter after his short retirement. We missed you Ron. Ron’s piece on COVID-19 vaccination Wednesday, September 22nd grabbed my attention when he used the word “spewing” to describe “religious folks” who decide to avoid being vaccinated and think it’s “fine” to spread potentially deadly CPVOD VIRUS to other vulnerable persons. Does Ron think they do this on purpose? …the spewing part?

Lots of people refuse vaccinations, not just religious ones; atheists, new-agers, people who are allergic to some of the factions in vaccines, etc.

The word “spewing” comes from Latin meaning to vomit! In Creek it means spitting. “Is that what you want your readers to believe Ron? ‘Spewing’ is NOT a word I would use. I think

‘shedding’ is more truthful and appropriate; ‘accidentally shedding.’

Personally, I am a firm believer in the benefits of vaccination; I’ve had dozens in my lifetime.

Marc Legare’s column in the September 29th Express is right on the money. I refuse to let others bully me into apologizing for something I didn’t do! Neither I nor my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents did so and neither did my wife’s family.

We checked, taking us back to the early 1800’s.

Before that all were in the British Isles.

Finally, the fine article in the same issue, ‘Heroes of Battle of Britain”. Right at it’s start, a photograph of two WWII fighter aircraft is shown.

The caption says one is a Spitfire and the other is Hurricane. Which of the two is the Hawker Hurricane?

Obituaries MANIAWSKI, MARIA It is with heavy hearts but hope in God’s promises that the family announces the peaceful passing of Maria Maniawski on Thursday, September 30th, 2021 at 10:10 p.m. at the age of 95 years, with her children at her side. A loving wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, faithful Christian and dedicated friend, Maria touched the hearts and lives of so many.

God blessed Maria with an amazing and abundant life filled with a close and loving family, wonderful friendships, and countless cherished experiences. Her legacy of love for her family and friends, serving God through her Christian walk, zeal for life and endless generosity to others will be forever cherished. We honor and pay tribute to an amazing woman who meant so much too so many.

Maria was predeceased by her parents, Roman and Olga Czyrak; husband, Emil; grandson, Dillon Marciszyn; brother and sister-in-law, Stefan and Justyna Czyrak; niece, Anna Czyrak; and sister and brother-in-law, Anna and Mikolaj (Nick) Pietrus. Maria will be dearly missed by her daughter, Anne (Dale) Marciszyn and son, John; grandsons that she cherished, Adam and Derek Marciszyn; nephews: Henryk (Joanne) Pietrus, Metro (Brenda) Pietrus and Roman (Wendy) Pietrus; nieces, Ewa (Jozef) Wojcik and Irena (Dariusz) Gumiela; cousin, John Szarun; as well as cousins, nephews and nieces in Canada, Poland and Ukraine, and many close friends.

The journey of Maria’s long and abundant life was filled with experiences and relationships that shaped her wonderful, loving, and caring character. Maria deeply loved her family, and faithfully served God through life.

She was a true friend - generous, selfless, compassionate, and considerate, helping friends and strangers alike. Maria was adventurous, courageous, strong, and determined, which enabled her to live her life to the fullest and navigate through life’s troubled waters. She was intelligent, prudent, and witty, which was balanced with her humility, honesty, and kindness. All remember her for her endless energy and meticulous nature.

“It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” – Ernest Hemingway Born in Zamch, Poland on September 27th, 1926, Maria spent the early years of her life pursuing her love of learning, contributing to demanding work on her parent’s farm, and developing her Christian faith as a Bible Student.

Maria and her family endured significant hardships and experiences during World War II including poverty, death of friends and family, and displacement. It was through these difficult experiences that Maria developed her strong faith in God, focus on family, strength, resilience, and unselfish desire to help others. Following the war, Maria focused on helping her parents, working on the farm and as a seamstress, and serving her family’s closeknit community. Maria cherished her parents, brother, sister and their families, and developed many life-long relationships during this time.

Maria’s wonderful, signature smile, fun-loving nature and enthusiastic sense of humour were released during this happier time of her life. Years later, she shared her experiences and special times in Poland with her family, and maintained her many friendships through continued letter writing and periodic trips home.

Maria’s life journey took her on many new paths when she immigrated with her parents to Canada on the ship MS Batory in November 1958. Following her immigrant landing in Quebec City on December 6th, 1958, Maria and her parents travelled to Winnipeg where they made their new home. Maria worked hard in various seamstress jobs and on farms, while learning English as a fourth language.

Maria met her handsome and gentle Emil in early 1962 and the two were married on June 15th, 1962.

Transferring with Emil’s job with CPR, Maria and Emil moved to Moose Jaw in late 1962, which is where they raised their family and settled for the rest of their lives.

Dedicated to making a better life for her family, Maria balanced raising her two children and working as a seamstress at Canaday’s and in several cleaning jobs at City Hall, SGI, SaskPower, and SaskTel until her retirement in 1990. Maria raised her family in a Christian home, which focused on the importance of hard work, education, and

the need to help others. Maria’s home was always open to friends, whether they were part of her Polish/Ukrainian social group playing cards on a Saturday evening, or a local Christian group participating in a Bible study on Sunday afternoon. She enjoyed cooking delightful Ukrainian dishes for her family and friends, organizing picnics for the neighborhood children, holding large birthday parties for her children, joining in tobogganing races, or playing hockey with her son. Maria loved entertaining and having fun!

Maria’s journey in her retirement years was spent doing the things that she loved: enjoying and helping her children and grandchildren in countless ways; visiting many friends in hospitals and senior homes; and traveling with family across western Canada to see God’s beauty in nature, several times to Poland to visit family and friends from her early years, and regularly to Calgary to visit her son. Some of her most cherished moments were times spent with her grandsons, Adam and Derek. Maria was active in her senior years, enjoying her love of gardening, doing her daily walks in Crescent Park, attending her grandchildren’s sports activities, and continuing her love of learning. She celebrated her children’s and grandchildren’s accomplishments and was always ready to support her family during life’s challenges.

Our Mom loved and served God throughout her life. She enjoyed praying and reading the Bible daily, attending Bible Student conventions across Canada, the U.S., and Poland, and embracing fellowship with other Christian groups including the First Baptist Church in Moose Jaw. She focused on helping and serving others in need, and demonstrating a Christian life through her example of daily living. God blessed Mom with a full, abundant life, sustained her during life’s many challenges and guided her restoration to a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life during her last year.

Mom leaves behind endless, cherished memories and a legacy that will remain forever with all who knew and loved her. We love you Mom, miss you dearly, but look forward to that glorious day when we meet again!

Our family wishes to thank our special friends, Mariam Nganzo and her care team at Marcie’s Care Home, who provided quality care and friendship for Mom over the past year and half when the Covid environment made it difficult for her children to care for her in her home.

Thank you to Judy, Daljit, Colleen, Brenda, and Sandra, who helped us provide care and companionship for Mom in her home for the previous five years. We also thank Dr. Van Heerden, her doctor of many years, Dr. King, her doctor over the past year, and the caregivers at the DR. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital, who provided gentle, compassionate care to Mom during the final week of her earthly life. Although our goal was always to have Mom return home, our Heavenly Father chose to bring her Home.

“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

Revelation 21:4 A Funeral Service with family and close friends celebrating Maria’s life and legacy will be held on Tuesday, October 12th, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. in Moose Jaw Funeral Home.

In the interest of protecting the health and safety of others and maintaining Covid-19 protocols during the ongoing pandemic, the family has limited in person participation at the funeral. The family requests friends wishing to attend the service to contact them directly or at tributetomaria@shaw.ca. Those unable to attend the service are invited to view the service virtually by going to www.moosejawfuneralhome.com/webcast/. In lieu of flowers, donations in Maria’s name may be made to a charity of one’s choice. As part of the Bench in Memory program, a park bench has been donated in the memory of our Mom and Dad to the Moose Jaw Crescent Park for the enjoyment of our community of the beautiful greenspace and nature that they so loved. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. Michelle Ellis, Funeral Director 306-693-4550 www.moosejawfuneralhome.com

Obituaries LUTZ, RICHARD Richard L. (Dick) Lutz passed away peacefully in the early morning hours of September 25, 2021 with his wife of 68 years by his side. Richard was born on March 18, 1933 in Duff, SK to John and Edna (Reimer) Lutz and was the oldest of nine children. In 1949 the family relocated to Boharm, SK where he helped his father on the family farm until he began driving truck for Scott National and then Maccam Transport in 1954. He drove and then worked in management for Trimac Transportation (Maccam) for 44 years moving through the four western Provinces until his retirement in 1998 in Edmonton, Alberta.

Richard was united in marriage with Dorothy Barber on July 17, 1953 in Moose Jaw, SK and they made their home there until 1969. Their son Kenneth was born in 1955, daughter Donna in 1962 and daughter Kathy in 1964.

After retiring, Richard spent 20 years volunteering his time with numerous organizations in the Spruce Grove and Stony Plain, Alberta area. The last two years were spent in the Good Samaritan Stony Plain Care Center along with his wife Dorothy. He was a devoted Christian and a long-time member of Peace Lutheran Church, Spruce Grove and active on the Church and Lutheran District Board.

Richard was the steady rock of the family and as one of his nieces said “If you were ever on the receiving end of one of his hugs you could physically feel the love from deep inside”.

Richard’s memory will be forever cherished by his wife Dorothy, son Ken (Sue) of Nebraska and their children Aaron (Neuala) of Winnipeg and children Damien and Kahlan, Marsha (Zane) of Saint Catharines and children Daria and Cameron, Chance (Misty) of Florida and son Tre; daughter Donna (Les) of Erickson and children Amanda, Megan (Matt) and children Jordyn, Issac and Marcus, and son Jesse; daughter Kathy (Jeff) of Calgary and children Hanna and Emerson. He will also be dearly remembered by his siblings, Don Lutz of Red Deer, Florence McDougall of Langford, Sue (Bob) Constable of Moose Jaw and Paul (Ermie) Lutz of Moose Jaw plus numerous nieces, nephews and extended family. He is predeceased by parents John and Edna, brothers Stan (Marj) Lutz, Glen (Shirley) Lutz; sisters Dorothy (Elwood) Clothier and Myrtle (Ron) Hennenfent as well as grandson Christopher Woloshen.

Following his wishes, cremation has taken place and a Celebration of Life will be scheduled at a later date after Covid restrictions are reduced and a proper gathering of family and friends can be held to celebrate this incredible man. In lieu of flowers, you can make a donation in Richard’s name to your local Lutheran Church.

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.

Remember “Did you remember to stop at the grocery store and pick up the items on our shopping list?” How many times have you heard something similar to that statement? What does it mean to “remember?” The dictionary defines “remember” as “bring to one’s mind an awareness.” However I think that “remember” includes the concept of action. The implication of the opening statement is not just to be in awareness but complete it with action. If you didn’t stop at the store and get the items, you really didn’t “remember” even if you had an awareness of wanting to do the action.

The Book of Deuteronomy in the Bible uses the term zakar 14 times. It is usually translated into English as “remember.” Zakar implies action with awareness. As the people

BEEN, MARIANNE It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of Marianne Been at the age of 91 years, on October 2nd, 2021.

Been, (Lina) Marianne (Mary). Marianne was born in Amsterdam, the Netherlands on October 8, 1929, Marianne married Gerardus Been in 1947.

Together with son, Jon, they emigrated to Canada in 1954, settling to raise a family of eventually 6 children in Saskatoon.

In Loving Memory of Our Mom

Frances O’Connor Aug. 7, 1926 – Oct. 15, 2019

Taken from our lives but never from our hearts.

Always loved, forever missed, Pat, Kathy, Mike & Families

remembered what God has done they were to respond in certain ways. We might say that the recent National Day for Truth and Recognition on September 30th implies that people ‘do’ something and not just have an awareness of the meaning of the day. The same could be said for Canada Day, Thanksgiving, Remembrance Day, and other civic holidays. The day or weekend has meaning as some action is taken in remembrance. The Hebrew word zakar is to observe the awareness, to call to mind by affecting present action. In other words, if you are to remember something, you should be doing something to complete the action of remembrance.

The story of the Great Flood in Genesis records, “When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” The implication is that as the rainbow appears, God’s remembering action will be to never allow another flood to wipe out all life on the earth.

In the Book of Exodus it is written, “And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.” It’s not as if God forgot the descendants of Abraham. But when God remembered, he acted. The emphasis is on the acting, not awareness. So when Moses said, “Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, for by a strong hand the Lord brought you out from this place,” the expectation was that the people would do something special to zakar the event. Thus developed the Passover rituals.

BUSHELL

We wish to express our gratitude and appreciation to relatives and friends for messages of sympathy, donations and other acts of kindness in the recent loss of our husband, Dad, brother, uncle and cousin, Reginald (Reg) Bushell. Our sincere thanks to the staff of Edgar Hall at Providence Place for their love and care, also to Wayne Smith for his heart felt eulogy at the internment and those who joined us at Timothy Eaton Hall for the celebration of life.

Peggy, James, Karen, Laurie and Ian.

In Loving Memory of

Bruce Young

If we could visit heaven.

Even for a moment.

The pain would go away.

I would put my arms around you, That living life without you, Is the hardest thing to do, No matter how we spend our days, No matter what we do, No morning dawns or evening falls When we don't think of you.

Forever in our hearts Your Loving Family Linda, Cory, Nicole, Bill and Sarah

Ezekiel the prophet told the people, “Then you will remember your evil ways, and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and your abominations.” There will be action with remembering. And so developed the practice of confession/ absolution in many Christian denominations. As God said through the prophet Isaiah, “I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not zakar your sins.” It is not that God just forgets the sins, but also acts to reinstate people into a relationship with himself.

When the Psalmist prays, “Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old,” the expectation is that God will do something, not just have an awareness of his mercy. The command in Exodus, “Remember the Sabbath day,” is to lead into doing unique actions to observe the day, not just being mindful that it is the seventh day of the week. Zakar is used in Psalm 20:7, ““Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.” As we zakar (remember) the name of the Lord, the implication is to trust, an action with awareness.

This concept of “remembrance” has shaped the Christian ritual of the Lord’s Supper. In the sacred meal of bread and wine there is more than just an awareness of the death of Jesus Christ.

How did you “remember” September 30th and October 11th? Will you zakar November 11th and December 25th?

Remembrance involves awareness fulfilled by action.

Stigma a barrier for crystal meth users to seek help, group says Stigma can make it difficult for people addicted to drugs to seek help, so the Moose Jaw Crystal Meth Strategy Committee is challenging that problem and looking to change attitudes.

Stigma describes negative attitudes, behaviours or beliefs directed at or about people because of their situation with substance use — like crystal methamphetamine — which can look like discrimination, judgment, stereotypes or prejudice against people, explained Mary Lee Booth, prevention and awareness campaign co-ordinator with the committee (MJCMSC).

The language used has a direct and deep effect on people struggling with drugs, so when society becomes more informed about substance use disorder, that can address barriers and discrimination that could interfere with an affected individual acquiring help, she continued.

Stigma matters because, according to the

Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction, one in 10 Canadians experiences substance use problems today, while eight in 10 Canadians with a substance use disorder say they experienced barriers to recovery, including stigma.

Meanwhile, almost half of Canadians recovering from a substance use disorder experiences stigma when in active addiction.

Crystal meth disorder can happen to anyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, sex, race, or age, while there’s a common myth that addiction is a choice and people can stop using drugs whenever they want, said Booth.

“The truth is that substance use disorder is a health issue that often has roots in trauma, chronic stress, environmental factors, mental health and/or genetics,” she continued. “This disorder causes a person not to be able to control the impulse to use the substance, even when the consequences can be harmful or negative.”

Society might wonder why someone would use drugs in the first place, but whatever the reason or how the disorder developed, no one chooses to become addicted, Booth

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express stated. When looked at this way, society can understand that this is a treatable medical condition where people deserve care similar to other health problems. This also makes it easier for them to seek support.

“Systemic discrimination and unintentional barriers can make it difficult for a person affected by substance use disorder to come forward for help, therefore, making it hard to move into a supported recovery,” she pointed out.

There are three types of stigmas that users face: · Self-stigma: Individuals internalize negative messages about people who use drugs, which may lead to low self-esteem and shame. This can cause people to fear accessing supports as they believe they might be judged or discriminated against. It could also lead to individuals using drugs alone or hiding their use · Social stigma: Generally negative attitudes or behaviours against people who use drugs or against family members and friends of users. This includes talking about addiction as a choice and the neg-

ative portrayal in daily conversations or media about people with substance use disorders · Structural stigma: When health, social services, workplaces, and other policies unintentionally cause barriers to service or recovery support The Moose Jaw Crystal Meth Strategy Committee recommends two resources to combat stigma. One is found at Canada.ca and is entitled “Stigma, Why Words Matter,” while another is through the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction at ccsa.ca and is entitled “Overcoming Stigma: Online Learning.”

“We can all contribute to decreasing stigma by learning more about the effect of crystal meth on the brain and how it impacts behaviour, passing on the facts and challenging stereotypes, being aware of our own attitudes and behaviours, and being compassionate toward individuals who are affected,” added Booth. “… we can all help to create a community of support and healing.”
