New mural featuring sights and scenes from South Hill officially unveiled Design by Carly Jaye on Palliser Regional Library took just over four weeks to complete Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Ever since Palliser Regional Library on South Hill first came into being, the wall of the building facing Fourth Avenue has been a standard grey slab.

But in late September, things began to change.

Bright colours began to appear on the building, located at 366 Coteau St. West, and soon scaffolding appeared as a design began to take shape.

Over time, the shapes became paintings and soon evolved into a giant mural, with artist Carly Jaye and her crew of helpers tire- Carly Jaye stands in front of her recently lessly bringing her de- Regional Library on South Hill. sign to reality.

Over the last couple of weeks, their efforts have turned that old grey wall into a beautiful work of art, featuring scenes from all over South Hill in a design that incorporates a shelf of books -- a nod to the building on which it was painted.

The city’s newest mural was officially unveiled on Friday afternoon, with Jaye joined by dignitaries from the South Hill Community Association and the City of Moose Jaw for the special event.

“I’m happy it’s done and even as the creator it’s crazy to step back at the end of all the processes of a mural and see your initial vision brought to life,” Jaye said shortly after a ceremony involving close to 30 people gathered at the mural.

Making the project all the more impressive is how quick it came together: Jaye first heard about the idea in mid-September and put together a design that evolved into the final painting. From there, it was getting art to wall, with work beginning at the end of September and taking a little over four weeks to complete.

“So from the day they messaged me, it was a total of six weeks,” Jaye said.

Now, if anyone could pull off such a quick turnaround, Jaye is that artist. Well known for her works all over Moose Jaw’s downtown core -- if you see a brilliantly coloured junction box or fire hydrant, that’s probably Carly -- it doesn’t take long for Jaye’s concepts to become artwork.

The key this time was plenty of helping hands.

“I wouldn’t have been able to tackle something like this without a lot of extra hands and manpower… we had the Southwest Daycare come out and help, so there were a bunch of small hands there, then my friend Kayla (Hanson) from 32 Flavours, and a good handful of my family and friends,” Jaye said, adding that having youngsters involved was a major part of her planning.

“Any time I’m doing a public project, I completed mural on the wall of Palliser try and incorporate the community because I want little kids to drive by telling their parents ‘hey, I helped paint that’ for years to come. I got to that as a child and to be able to give that back to kids makes it have that much more meaning to people driving by, they have a personal connection to it as well.”

The inspiration for the design is obvious when one looks at the final work. From the Snowbirds and 15 Wing, to Wakamow Valley and Tatawaw Park, the painting features a neat little taste of South Hill, and one that came together from several ideas.

“The inspiration was definitely the community that it’s in, South Hill, and trying to capture the details of the park and the details of South Hill that make it noteworthy… we had a list of things we wanted to capture and I kind of went through that and picked what I felt was the most noteworthy to dedicate in the middle pages,” Jaye explained. “We tried with the end book to tie in little other things too, like more parks and rivers other than just Wakamow, like Connors Park and Tatawaw Park as well.

“The South Hill Community Association really made this all happen. They’ve been discussing a mural on South Hill for five years… it was definitely something that was overdue, it’s only the third mural in the community, so we’re pretty proud of that.”

Now, it’s onto the next piece of art, whatever that may be.

“As long as the projects keep coming to me I’ll keep painting them,” Jaye said with a grin.

Wild dream’ of finding new home now a reality for food bank Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Finding a new home was considered “a wild dream” that the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank once thought was impossible, but that dream is now a reality after years of work.

The non-profit organization held a grand opening on Oct. 27 at its new location at 270 Fairford Street West, kitty-corner from its old location at 305 Fairford Street West.

Dozens of dignitaries, businesspeople and staff from other charities gathered to hear speeches and watch the ribbon cutting. Afterward, guests toured the venue and learned about its new features, such as a new board room, lobby, classroom, and offices.

The food bank held three major campaigns over the past 19 months to raise funds for the new building. The organization eventually acquired over $200,000 to help build a new lobby and renovate the main building.

A long-time coming “Well, it was a long-time coming, but we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. We’re really excited about this opportunity that this new facility holds for Moose Jaw,” said development manager Jason Moore.

Of note, the building is 6,200 square feet in size, compared to 1,700 square feet at the previous venue.

This extra space is helpful because during the pandemic, the organization

could not have volunteers, Moore said.

Furthermore, physical distancing meant staff provided clients with food hampers outside, which was chilly in the winter.

Meanwhile, the food bank had to rent trailers to store food received during major food drives.

The new building gives the non-profit ample space to run volunteer programs and allow clients to come inside while providing them with better options, choices and dignity, Moore continued.

“And now within our new space, we can run any major food drive and store all the food indoors.

We can have up to about 80 pallets of food inside now, versus our previous location, where we might have been able to store about seven or eight palGlorious space to hold more food supplies. Photo by Jason G. lets,” he added.

individuals and families because of the then-economic downturn. However, that number jumped into the hundreds, and over the years, the organization realized residents’ food needs were not going away.

In 2014, board members began talking about a new location to meet the needs of clients better.

“It was a wild dream, but we noticed this building, which was kitty-corner to our former location. We were curious about it,” Richardson said.

The building was not for sale, but the board members were allowed to peek inside. They found a foot of water, evidence of the building’s abandonment for nearly 20 years. The board members then discussed the issue during another meeting.

“We sat around the table, and we just felt like — it’s impossible. But what it did for us at that time is make us realize that we didn’t have the capacity yet to take on a project of this size … ,” she continued.

“But it started good discussions about our vision and the need for convenience and the future.”

The team worked in 2019 to find a new venue, and after several years, succeeded in acquiring the new building in March 2021.

“The needs have not gone away. Nor has the generosity of our community towards those in need … ,” Richardson added. “We envision a healthy, hunger-free community with adequate, nutritious food accessible to all.”

Karen Dolan, an eight-year volunteer, thought the new building was excellent.

“We have been waiting for this for so long. You can’t compare the two,” she said.

Deann Little, the new client resource representative, agreed. “(I’m) so excited to be in it. I’m excited to see what we can implement for programming and helping clients,” she added.

A dream come true The Moose Jaw and District Food Bank began in October 1984 in the basement of the now-extinct Johnstone Block on Main Street North before moving to 305 Fairford Street West two years later, board member Daycee Richardson said during the ceremony.

Police service’s new K-9 team eager to nab their first suspect Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Almost a year after Const. Casey Lea joined the Moose Jaw Police Service’s K-9 unit, he and his canine partner Mace have finally hit the streets searching for their first criminal.

Lea always enjoyed dogs growing up and admired the animals’ abilities and capabilities. So when he joined the police service four years ago, he set a goal of eventually joining the K-9 unit after being inspired by the handlers working with their four-legged partners.

In October 2020, a spot opened on the unit after an officer received a promotion.

Lea immediately submitted his application.

“The opportunity came a little earlier than I thought,” he said.

The month-long application process included a physical test, an interview, skills training that included firearms use, general interest in dogs, and background animal knowledge.

Lea finally learned in November 2020 that he had been accepted. However, the constable’s excitement about joining the K-9 unit was tempered by the fact that he had to wait until June before attending training classes in Regina.

Lea didn’t start training with Mace, a two-and-a-half-year-old German Shephard. Instead, he started working with a dog named Zero. Unfortunately, after a month, that animal washed out because its tracking abilities were insufficient.

Lea was then given a temporary animal to train before he was connected to Mace for the final three months of training.

The first half of training occurred early in the mornings and focused on tracking and apprehending suspects — “Our bread and butter,” Lea says — and obedience.

The second half of training occurred in the evenings, where the K-9 teams focused on searching buildings and further attention to tracking and apprehending suspects.

“It was a long, hot summer running through the fields and tracking with the dogs and learning, but it was rewarding,” he said.

It’s a good feeling to finally return to Moose Jaw and be able to make a difference, Lea continued. His goal is to be proactive with Mace and acquire experience in the community while attempting to prevent crime.

As partners, Mace will ride with Lea in his police cruiser all day while working.

The canine officer will also live with his human handler and go everywhere on his days off.

“There’s a lot of upkeep with the dogs, obviously. They’re not just the family pet that lays on the floor, and that’s good enough for the day,” said Lea. “He’s super energetic and high drive, so you always have to keep him busy and exercise and that type of thing. But I wouldn’t change it. It’s awesome.”

Mace is another tool in the police service’s toolbox to help prevent crime and bring criminals to justice, he continued. He considers himself lucky to be his canine partner’s handler.

Lea had only worked four shifts with Mace when he sat down to speak about this new appointment. He noted that the two of them had not done a full tour yet and had not even seen any action. However, they were both champing at the bit to make a difference in the City of Moose Jaw. “I want the public to know how valuable these dogs are and that we’ll be out and about being proactive trying to stop some of this crime,” added Lea.

Throne speech stresses crime, economic growth, truth and reconciliation An ambitious Throne Speech promises the Saskatchewan Party Government will tackle issues on crime, economic growth, health care and truth and reconciliation.

The speech, read by Lieut.-Governor Russ Mirasty, says the government will work for “a Saskatchewan that is stronger, safer, healthier, more educated and more independent.”

Law enforcement legislation will create a province-wide Provincial Protective Services Unit with 325 officers from Conservation officers, Highway Patrol, Provincial Capital Commission, Safer Neighbourhoods and Communities and deputy sheriffs in one command.

Sixty new police positions and 11 civilian positions will be added to law enforcement in the new unit.

We live in a very interesting and generous community, with lots going on…

It always amazes me as to how generous the Moose Jaw community is in taking care of its own and donating to important causes such as the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank.

This past week, the Food Bank opened its new location at 270 Fairford St. W, and what a step-up for the organization from Joan Ritchie a space of 1,700 sq. ft. to 6,200 sq.

EDITOR ft. If you didn’t already know or haven’t noticed, WINMAR generously donated in excess of $40,000 to the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank to update the exterior of the building, which included labour, materials, and installation of the thermal cork exterior coating. As well, WINMAR also recently held a fundraiser bbq outside the food bank to contribute to the food bank’s endeavours. Thanks to businesses like this with a charitable conscience to give to organizations such as the Food Bank. As for those who work for the food bank have noticed, the need for basic necessities is ever-increasing.

It is also with a conscience of providence that Hillcrest Apostolic Church held their annual Halloween fundraiser for the food bank again this year with a stipulation of cash donations rather than bags of canned/boxed food items, due to the ongoing pandemic. Even though the fundraiser is over, I am sure the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank would gratefully accept cash donations to assist in providing sustenance to those in need. There are many that have never found it necessary to rely on assistance in the past, but have fallen on hard times and require help in providing food for their families. You can donate money online directly to this charity at: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/ moose-jaw-and-district-food-bank-inc/?medium=FPMX&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI2f6Mm9X38wIVA2xvBB2woQVmEAAYAyAAEgI0efD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds It’s also great to know that our local Police department has a new canine unit that’s out there ready to nab those that break the law. As crime is continually increasing in our community, much of it due to meth addictions that drive individuals to commit crimes of theft, break-ins and even much worse, it is comforting to know our local police department is building their efforts to keep individuals as safe as possible. We appreciate them for their work in these challenging times.

And on that note, this week prior to November 11th, I would be remiss to not bring attention to our local Remembrance Day activities. It is the 103rd Annual Remembrance Day Service. As in the past, it has been open to the general public and was held at Mosaic Place, but again this year due to the ongoing pandemic, the service will be taking place at the Royal Canadian Legion with a small gathering of 150 invited guests. The service will be broadcast from Jones Parkview Funeral Home and live-steamed on the Moose Jaw Legion’s Facebook page at ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION – Branch 59 Moose Jaw. The service will be open at 10:00 a.m. for live viewing. For those that have received invitations to personally be in attendance, all COVID-19 Protocol and Guidelines will be in place.

As well, the Royal Canadian Legion will be open following the service. Lunch will be available. Adults only.

“Lest we Forget…We will Remember Them.”

Steve Apperley owns a museum in Mortlach that features wall-to-wall models of military planes, tanks, vehicles and ships. He has made all 840 models that are on display in the building. Photo by Jason G. Antonio Tucked away in the Village of Mortlach is a military museum featuring nearly 1,000 miniature models of planes, tanks, vehicles, and ships — and one man has made them all.

Steve Apperley’s interest in model military vehicles began when he was six years old, after his father gave him a tube of glue to play with. His dad — a Second World War veteran — built many models out of wood during his military career following the war.

“The coolest thing he ever made (were these) little … C-119s. He made this whole squadron and had them sitting on the living room table. It was pretty cool,” Apperley said.

The first model plane Apperley received — planes are his favourite — was a DC-8 Air Canada transport plane.

This kick-started his love for the hobby, which continued into high school and adulthood.

That first model plane has now grown into a collection of 840 models of various military vehicles and aircraft.

Apperley initially stored his collection at home but outgrew that location. After a years-long journey to find a new spot, he moved into a building two years ago along the main street in Mortlach.

Since then, he has enjoyed running the Military Memories Model Museum, which features his creations, his father’s military uniforms and memorabilia, and his grandfather’s attestation papers from the First World War. One room features models from the Second World War, while a second room showcases models from the Cold War to today.

If you’re observant, you might also notice the four American Sherman tanks from the movie “Fury,” with a little Brad Pitt figurine sticking out of the hatch.

“My wife said to me, ‘Well, you’re retired. You might as well do something.’ And I said, ‘Well OK,’ … and we turned it into a hobby store. A little museum kind of thing,” he said. “We don’t make any money, but it’s a place to go in the morning.”

Every model that Apperley made during the last 10 years came from kits. He had more models years ago but sold off many of them, saying he would need a warehouse

to keep everything he’s built.

Besides the models, the hobbyist has also created dioramas. For example, there is a scene featuring a British Commonwealth Air Training Plan airbase with planes lined up, while another scene shows heavy vehicles pulling a tank out of a lake.

Most of his models are from the Second World War since there is more variety of kits. For example, it’s easier to acquire models of German tanks since there were many versions, while there are only four models of American tanks.

Apperley’s favourite models to build are Spitfires and B-17 bombers from the Second World War. Lately, though, the pandemic has made acquiring kits from suppliers difficult because most kit makers are located overseas. As a result, Apperley has found that it takes up to two months to receive one kit, while the cost of models has also increased.

“Collectors’ models, for some reason, are through the roof,” he said.

For example, a kit featuring the famous Avro Arrow jet fighter is no longer available since no one can find the moulds. Even if you could find a kit, it would cost $5,000.

Apperley enjoys making models since he can work with his hands. Furthermore, he likes to fact-check everything he makes to ensure they’re as accurate as possible.

Whether it’s a German tank or an AT-6 Harvard plane, he browses through books or the internet to ensure the decals and designs are correct. Sometimes, though, he also likes to paint or design a model the way he wants.

It usually takes Apperley a week to build a 1:32-scale model, three to five days to build a 1:48-scale model aircraft or tank, and minutes to build a 1:72-scale model aircraft.

“I think all kids should get into this stuff, just for the fact they’re not sitting on the computer. They’re using their hands; they’re using their brains. They’re figuring stuff out. They can research the vehicle,” he said.

Apperley will not sell any of the models he has made but does sell boxed kits.

His museum is open year-round.

Artist hopes updated legion mural inspires youths to better understand Canadian history Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

A Moose Jaw artist who updated the mural on the Royal Canadian Legion building hopes his work inspires the community — especially youths — to have more appreciation for Canadian history.

When China-based Jin Cheng International Real Estate Ltd. bought the 95-year-old building in May 2020 after Branch No. 59 sold its home — it’s now a tenant — the company asked Xinzheng Liu to enhance the painting on its east exterior wall.

Liu, 42, moved to Moose Jaw from Beijing in April 2019 and jumped at the opportunity to contribute. While he has been an artist for 23 years, this was his first mural project.

“I feel very excited to come here. I feel good to do something for Moose Jaw. It is a lot of meaning,” Liu said.

Liu, his wife Xiaoran Wang, and friend Terry Tian talked about the mural after it was installed recently. Liu repainted the mural on 21 sheets of hardboard, which were then attached to the building.

Tian translated for Liu throughout the conversation.

A year of research Liu conducted a year’s worth of research about the mural, Canada’s military exploits, and the weather in Moose Jaw before proceeding, he explained.

The weather was top of mind because of how much it changes here. So, after searching, he found a hardboard — similar to outdoor advertising signs — composed of aluminum and plastic that could withstand temperatures to minus 50-degrees Celsius, and found paint called All-Surface Enamel.

Liu and Tian also collected plenty of information about the original painting, its background, and who painted it.

“It’s the power of history,” said Liu. “There is a very special feeling when I was doing research because, at the beginning, I didn’t really know much detail about Canadian history. So, when I was doing this, I was shocked about how great of history we had before.

“After reviewing all the battles that we had before, I feel very excited about this. I was passionate about this.”

Liu and Tian are both interested in war history but mostly about the United States’ exploits. However, the

more they searched, the more they discovered that Canada was involved in many important battles, such as invading Juno Beach during the Second World War. “It touched us emotionally because we didn’t know this before,” said Liu, noting they have a new appreciation for Canadian military history. “We feel impacted. Like, ‘Oh man, Canada has such a great history, and detailed.’”

Adding paint to panels After a year of research, Liu created sample drawings in May 2021 before starting the mural for real in the summer. It then took him till mid-September to finish.

Liu and Tian felt that the community appreciated their efforts, while they were thrilled to have the chance to complete it. They also received plenty of support from the veterans, many of whom gave them two thumbs up.

The biggest concern Liu had was the materials he would use and how long they would last. He looked at other murals around the community for inspiration before deciding on panels. He then determined the number he would need and how he would attach them to the building.

Another challenge was determining what the images in the mural were. After many years outside, they were not as crisp as they once were. That is why he and Tian looked everywhere for inspiration, including in books, online, and talking with people who knew the mural’s history.

“We had lots of meetings (with legion executive members),” said Liu. “I showed them the first samples.

They produced great ideas and pictures to help improve and (make) lots of adjustments.”

Legion reaction Roy LaBuick, legion president, had nothing but positive comments about the updated painting.

“The mural looks really nice. It stands out as you come down High Street,” he said. “It adds a little life to the building … . (Liu) did a very nice job of it.”

Changes for clarity Some changes Liu made included increasing the clarity of the images, especially to the Vimy Ridge monument, the memorial cross, the torch, and other visuals about the First and Second World wars. He added pictures to highlight Canada’s role as United Nations peacekeepers and made the poems “In Flanders Fields” and “In Flanders Now” readable.

He also inserted pictures of the poems’ authors, Lt.Col. John McCrae and Edna Jaques, respectively.

“All the detail he made is based on real history. That’s how serious he is about the history,” said Tian.

Joy of the project With a chuckle, Liu said there were many aspects of updating the mural that he enjoyed. This included researching Canada’s role in both world wars and inserting enough details so younger people would understand.

He noted that teens understand U.S. history better than Canadian history, so he wanted to change their viewpoint.

“In the Second World War, Canada sent 1.1 million men to the war. (Roughly) 42,000 couldn’t come back,” said Liu. “There were also over 700 Canadian Chinese soldiers too (who fought). There are a lot of interesting details.”

There were many other details that Liu wanted to add but couldn’t, Tian said. If another opportunity arises to paint a mural — especially near the armoury on Main Street — Liu would like to create one focused on the military.

Liu added that he is “very satisfied” with how the mural turned out.

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS

Changes in our lives have dictated that Joyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express certain traditions must also ronjoy@sasktel.net be modified to The views and opinions exfit what’s happressed in this article are those of the author, and do pening in this not necessarily reflect the po- country and beyond. sition of this publication.

For the second year in a row, Remembrance Day will be observed in a way that has been adapted to suit the circumstances. Instead of large crowds at a service at Mosaic Place, a smaller ceremony is being held at Jones-Parkview, with restricted attendance, and wreaths either placed in advance or presented at other locations such as the cenotaph in Crescent Park or the memorial statue at Peacock Collegiate. The service will be live-streamed over Facebook to engage citizens in their homes or at their places of employment.

Despite how Nov. 11 will be observed in pandemic conditions with concern about health and security, we are still able to pause in silence at 11 a.m. to reflect and to remember. We will explain the reasons we remember to those who don’t understand about Nov. 11 and the significance of the day. We will share stories and pause to wonder what the soldiers in past wars would think about our world today.

Unusual times mean changes but we still remember

Nov. 11 is not just a day away from work. It is so much more.

•••• I wrote the following column for Moose Jaw Express in 2016 and the message is one I feel could be shared over and over. That column is as follows: “Several years ago I was honoured to be the guest speaker at the annual Remembrance Day banquet held at the local Royal Canadian Legion hall.

“One of my work colleagues [years prior] questioned why I would want to spend my day off “with a bunch of old guys who had likely spent the day drinking beer.”

“I was disturbed by her crass comment about the veterans and even more disturbed to learn that she had never attended a Remembrance Day service, did not know what went on there and had no desire to learn. Remembrance Day, she implied, was a glorification of war and she wanted no part of it.

“She obviously did not understand that she was able to express such opinions without fear of retribution, in part, because the very veterans she ridiculed served in world wars to ensure our freedom of speech and to free the world from men who would severely limit our right to live peaceful lives.

“When I related her comments during my speech, there were gasps of outrage and shock from the veterans in attendance. Af-

ter the dinner, one of the men approached me and said I should pity my colleague because maybe she hadn’t been raised in a home where she was able to learn about the sacrifices made by the soldiers, and the families who stayed at home and made their own contributions.

“I believe that elderly man had accurately nailed the problem. Her education about Remembrance Day should have started in the home, or at least in a school classroom. If that had happened she might not have been so dismissive of a day that holds special significance for the men and women and families who had direct knowledge of what the war years meant for them.

“In our home, my Dad didn’t talk much about his actual duties or what he saw. Instead he talked about his buddies, about the people he met who welcomed the Canadian soldiers with open arms, especially in Holland where residents were liberated amid much celebration. He talked about some of the men who came from our community and how he met them overseas and shared news of home.

“He kept in touch with one or two fellow-soldiers and shared visits in our home or in theirs. When they wandered away to talk privately, we suspected only then did he actually relive the days of war with someone who had been there and understood.

“The teachers in our rural school

were dedicated to making sure we held a Remembrance Day service each year, inviting local veterans to come and tell their stories or to bring some memorabilia for show and tell. Dad’s medals occasionally came out of the storage trunk for those occasions. And all the students wore poppies and recited the poem, In Flanders Fields.

“Most schools now hold similar observances, with teachers providing educational information on the various wars, past and present, and on the peacekeeping efforts of Canadian troops. With a military base as part of our community, there is every reason to understand why men and women sign up to protect and serve their country, and are prepared to carry the Canadian ideals of freedom to other parts of the world.

“This kind of educational focus in the schools builds a foundation to understand why we observe Remembrance Day on Nov. 11, why we wear poppies and stand in silence to remember all who served, and to salute those who continue to serve on our behalf.

They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.”

Bunker 24 is an experience not to be missed

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com All photos were supplied by Tunnels of Moose Jaw. All photos credited to Jared Robinson.

“Logo Barrel” Tunnels of Moose Jaw have created a history-laden, atmospheric and immersive experience with their latest venture below the streets As one of Moose Jaw’s premier tourist attractions, Tunnels of Moose Jaw’s latest tour is another feather in their cap. The production values are sky-high, and the cast is excellent.

The performance starts fast, and stays that way. Despite the extensive research and tunnels filled, literally wall-to-wall, with notes, artifacts, and mysterious electronic reproductions, Bunker 24 is not meant to be purely informational. The quantity of interesting things to look at ranges from impressive to overwhelming, but the experience is focused on atmosphere, theatre, and entertainment. If you are looking for a museum-like exploration of historical exhibits, and time to linger over a note written by an OSS agent, or a fallout shelter vault equipped with gas masks and radiation suits, it’s possible you might be disappointed but most definitely entertained.

The staff are practiced and costumed; the script is immersive. The history is fasci-

nating, particularly those parts of it which focus (satirically) on the role of propaganda in the Cold War. “The research took almost two years. For two years, that’s almost solely what I did,” says Kelly Carty, Business Development Manager at Tunnels of Moose Jaw. There were consultations with local military historians, retired military members living in Moose Jaw, and currently serving members at 15 Wing. Carty says she sourced information from the Canadian War Museum and the Canadian Archives as well, finding all kinds of stories, only a fraction of which were eventually included in Bunker 24.

They bought artifacts from antique stores and military antique stores, and built what they couldn’t buy. The Canadian Forces semi-permanently loaned many items from storage rooms at Canadian Forces Base Moose Jaw. The tour dwells extensively

on the significance of the pilot training that went on at Moose Jaw during the war.

“We thought it was important to tell this story because of the importance of Moose Jaw in the history of the Canadian Air Force,” Carty explains, “that we had the British Commonwealth Air Training Program here during WWII that during the Cold War pilots from 13 different countries were training here... I don’t think people understand just how much of an impact we had, and how much we contributed as a city and as a country.”

Tunnels of Moose Jaw either owns the buildings under which they build their tours or leases them from the city. Many of Moose Jaw’s famous tunnels were built by steam engineers to make heating downtown buildings easier. Others connected the now-unused passenger train platform to various downtown hotels. Most have been

filled in for safety or utility purposes. Extensive renovations must take place before they can be used for tours, and inspectors of all kinds have been through the spaces checking ventilation, exit availability, fire suppression systems, wiring, etc.

The tunnels can be low in places, and the lighting is sometimes very dim. Those suffering from severe claustrophobia should think twice, and families with small children should be aware that young ones may be frightened.

Tunnels of Moose Jaw’s ticket office is at 18 Main St N. Tickets can also be purchased online at tunnelsofmoosejaw.com. *Masking is mandatory on all Tunnels of Moose Jaw tours. As of Oct 1, all guests are required to provide proof of vaccination or a negative Covid-19 test. Children under the age of 12 are exempt from the proof of vaccination or negative test requirement.

Hidden gem new Fine Arts Preschool program at Dance Images by BJ

By Natalie Lund - Moose Jaw Express

A hidden gem has opened this past September in the city that offers a Fine Arts program for children 3 to 5 years of age.

The preschool follows an art-based curriculum combined with preschool academic learning that covers all areas of Fine Arts such as dance, creative movement, theatre, drama, visual arts and music.

The curriculum can help children prepare for Kindergarten by stimulating the imagination while developing cognitive and creative skills. It can also strengthen critical thinking skills, and problem-solving aswell as goal setting.

The preschool’s main goal is to nurture all aspects of a child’s learning in an

effort to develop confident and successful learners.

“We feel that those are important areas and educational values that are great for kids in learning. A really big focus for us is developing kindergarten-ready skills for each of the students,” said Shauna Bzdel, Assistant Director of Kidventure Korner Preschool.

The program consists of 2 semesters offering full or part-time positions. The full time program would consist of 2 days a week whereas part time would consist of once a week; alternating weeks is also an option that they offer.

“We essentially work to help each child grow and accomplish skills based on

their cognitive level. We know that this is a really wonderful program,” said Bzdel.

Interaction and socialization are crucial in early childhood development and preschool gives them the opportunity to develop these skills successfully; some kids going into Kindergarten don’t have that exposure unless they attend daycare.

“We aim to instill that love of learning at an early age with our schedule.

When kids love to learn then they are going to be able to excel but if they feel overwhelmed with the learning then that is often when you can see other behavior’s that come into play because it’s a coping mechanism,” continued Bzdel.

The Preschool program will facilitate

a big open house on November 10th at the studio from 10 a.m. to 11a.m.

“We will have exciting things planned for the kids that attend the open house.

When parents contact the studio they will receive all details pertaining to the event,” said Bzdel.

Families that are interested in the event can contact the studio ahead of time to receive an invitation.

For more information on the open house or to answer questions about registration the public can go online to the studios website danceimagesbybj.com or call/email the studio at (306)-631-0584 or info@danceimagesbybj.com

Provincial Dancers come together for #SKdancestogether event Dance Images by BJ has just participated in a new event this year called Saskatchewan Dances Together, which brings together dancers from across the province to perform a chosen choreographed piece.

The goal is to make this an annual event; this first get-together was held all day on Oct. 27.

Studios across the province chose how to celebrate the day if they decided to participate in the event, explained Barb Jackman, owner of Dance Images by BJ. Anyone who teaches dance movement to classes was welcome to participate.

Participating studios learnt the choreography, uploaded it to their own business social media platforms with the hashtag

Dancers wore provincial colors, green and yellow, this year, to show their love of dance, as well as bringing Saskatchewan together.

“This all came about by discussions from dance educators within our province as an opportunity for us to celebrate and connect across the province,” said Jackman. “With COVID-19 and the restrictions, the dance world has not been able to perform for the last couple years. We Photo by Dance Images by BJ [felt] like we wanted to bring dance to the #SKdancestogether. The hashtag used was top of the mind for people throughout the expected to bring students of all ages, cul- province.

“These events aim to help people be aware that dance is still alive and well and to remember all the benefits that dance has to children and adults: physical health, mental health, stress relief and team-work, time management and freedom of expression. Dance studios become a second home to students,” said Jackman.

According to Jackman, dancers spend several months training, they learn their choreography and display it for a couple of months before going back into training.

If anyone is interested in joining classes at Dance Images by BJ you can call or text (306)-631-0584, visit danceimagesbybj.com or email info@danceimagesbybj. com.

From The Kitchen

War time rationing altered cooking techniques Homemakers who lived through the years of the Second World War have many stories to tell about the lack of certain ingredients and how others were rationed to support the war effort.

Rationing did typically require the average Canadian to consume less butter, sugar, and tea and to plant gardens for their own produce.

“Wartime Recipes and Food Rules” is a warera cookbook published to “assist housewives in the task of adjusting their menus to wartime conditions.”

This week’s recipes come from the cookbook, published by Woodlands Dairy in Edmonton and shared with me by Legion Comrade Dan MacAulay.

••• Braised Ox Tails 2 lbs. ox tail flour 1/4 cup cooking fat 1 1/2 cups water 1 1/2 cups canned tomatoes 1 tsp. salt 1 clove garlic, finely chopped, optional 1/8 tsp. pepper 1 tsp. celery salt 4 whole cloves 4 medium carrots, diced 2 small onions, chopped

Wash the ox tail, dry and cut into 2 inch lengths. Roll in flour and saute in the fat until well browned.

Add water, tomatoes and seasonings. Pour into a covered casserole dish and bake for 1 1/2 hours at 325 degrees F. Add vegetables and bake for another hour.

••• Spice Cake 1/2 cup butter 1 1/2 cups honey 2 eggs 3/4 cup sour milk 2 1/2 cups flour 2 tsps. baking powder 1/4 tsp. ground cloves 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp. ginger 1/2 tsp. nutmeg 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. baking soda Cream butter. Add honey gradually, creaming thoroughly. Add well-beaten eggs and beat thoroughly. Add mixed and sifted dry ingredients alternately with milk.

Bake in a 9x9 inch prepared cake pan at 350 degrees F for 65 minutes.

•••

Angel Bread Pudding 2 cups bread cubes 2 cups milk 1/4 cup sugar dash of salt 2 eggs 3 tbsps. butter 1/2 tsp. vanilla Cut stale bread, crusts and all, into 1/4-1/2 inch cubes. Place in buttered one-quart baking dish.

Mix the milk, butter and sugar and heat just enough, while stirring, to dissolve the sugar and melt the butter.

Beat eggs slightly, add salt and then stir in the warm milk mixture and add the vanilla. Pour over bread cubes.

Set the baking dish in a pan of hot water and bake in a 350 degrees F oven for about 1 hour to until a silver knife comes out clean when it is inserted in the centre of the pudding. Serves 4-5.

For variations: use 1/2 cup strained honey instead of sugar; substitute 1/2 tsp. lemon juice for vanilla; or add 1/4-1/2 cup chopped raisins before baking.

Canadians unsure which sources of food information to trust

By Ron Walter - For Moose Jaw Express

The number of Canadians who don’t know if Canada’s food system is on the right path increased year-over-year, according to a survey by the Canadian Centre for Food Integrity.

Forty-two per cent of respondents replied ‘don’t know’ to the question – an increase of six per cent from the 2020 survey.

in conjunction with the survey suggest that consumers are “overwhelmed with (conflicting) information about food and don’t know what information to trust.”

Nineteen per cent said the food system is headed in the wrong direction, mainly because of a lack of transparency.

The centre concluded even though vast amounts of credible information is available it isn’t getting through to consumers.

The number of consumers thinking the food system is headed in the right direction declined eight per cent to 39 per cent.

Five years ago in 2016, only 30 per cent felt the food system was headed in the right direction while one in five didn’t know and 21 per cent felt it was headed in the wrong direction.

Among the top five issues, number one remained the rising cost of food, 61 per cent, up from 56 per cent last year.

Keeping healthy food affordable was second at 55 per cent, up two points.

Third at 53 per cent was global warming/climate change, a new issue in the top five.

Two new issues rounded out the top five: energy costs was fourth at 52 per cent

with health care costs, fifth at 51 per cent.

The Canadian economy at 55 per cent last year and the federal deficit at 50 per cent last year, didn’t make the top five concerns this year.

Consumers are also concerned about sustainability in a profit driven food system but no data was provided.

A concern about animal food has declined with 32 per cent concerned about use of antibiotics in animals, down from 48 per cent in 2016.

Concerns about hormones used in farm animals also declined over five years from 48 per cent to 42 per cent.

In Saskatchewan 91 per cent agree food produced in Saskatchewan is safe with 73 per cent agreeing farmers and ranchers follow government and industry regulations. As well 73 per cent trust that farmers and ranchers are taking care of the environment.

Only 54 per cent agree that the Saskatchewan agriculture sector transparently communicates about its practices.

Chad Kobelsky – Recovering from addiction

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Forty-five-year-old Chad Kobelsky is a skilled steamfitter from Moose Jaw who currently lives in Mossbank. He and his wife have been together 30 years this year, having their first child when Chad was 19.

This caused him to have to “dummy up,” as he puts it, in a very fast way.

Chad says that having kids young might have cost him some years of adventure, but he doesn’t regret it. “It was good,” he says, “it was well worth it, for sure. I’m still lots young enough now, and they’re up and grown and we can do things together.”

Having a good job has meant a lot to Chad. He’s had enough money all his life to do the things he wants to do: to own a house, go on vacations, and buy a ’67 Camaro he was particularly proud of.

But Chad also acknowledges that he has an addictive personality. Things always “start off slow, but it doesn’t take long” for the use to increase. He used marijuana for many years. He doesn’t like alcohol, describing it as a party drug he used when he was younger that was, “never good for (him),” causing fights and disagreements.

When his work sites began introducing drug testing, Chad struggled. Marijuana is sticky. It is fat-soluble, which means it can be detected in the body for many days after last use. Cocaine, on the other hand, has a much shorter detection window, which is why it began to be commonplace shortly after drug testing was introduced.

Chad says cocaine is easy to get, and

many workers use it, and so he began to use it.

“When I’m straight, I don’t agree with drug use on a job site,” he maintains. “You don’t make safe decisions… but when you’re addicted, you know, you just seem to find ways to justify things.”

It wasn’t long before he was spending big money on coke.

One night, Chad says, a friend left him a stash to pick up. He was home alone, and by the next morning, he owed his friend $900. After he complained about how expensive it was, his buddy said, “Well, hey, you know, I’ve been getting meth…?”

Chad Kobelsky had no idea what he

Holy Trinity Catholic School Division

was getting into.

Although he abused the use of marijuana, Chad never came to work high. He never came to work drunk, or drank on the job. After becoming addicted to cocaine, he began to break his rules and his promises to himself. It particularly affected his bank account. However, steamfitters are well paid, and he still had enough to pay his bills.

Chad describes crystal meth as being something “totally different.” It almost immediately dominated his life. He didn’t just stop paying his bills; his bills ceased to matter to him. His work didn’t seem to matter anymore. His family became an annoyance, something to brush off and ignore. He sold his ’67 Camaro.

He describes his use and abuse of other drugs as taking part of his days. Crystal meth “was on a whole other level.” It was not long before it was Chad’s first priority in the morning. Again at mid-day. More at night.

It is cheap and dreadfully available.

The high lasts for many hours. It provides an extreme energy boost, spurs short-term creativity, and, of course, it feels good.

It is horribly habit-forming. People who develop an addiction to crystal meth often describe themselves as feeling like gods, as though they can do anything, which causes them to dismiss all warnings and expressions of concern.

Chad describes becoming used to staying up for days on end and waking up

in the ditch, or even driving into oncoming traffic. He fell asleep everywhere, without warning. He brushed those experiences off and got high again.

Many people who develop substance use disorders are able to stay functional for long periods. They keep up appearances. They deflect blame, project fault, and make excuses that they are different, and that the drug they are abusing is not so bad. Their brain function alters in such a way that they sincerely believe the internal rationalizations that justify their cravings and increasingly destructive behaviour.

Crystal meth is uncontrollable from first use. “It doesn’t discriminate,” Chad says. He knows creative, smart people in Moose Jaw and the surrounding area who have lost everything. He wants people to know that they cannot handle it, and that it will destroy their lives. He says that if he can stop just one person from ever trying crystal meth, he will feel that his public exposure to embarrassment, stigma, and judgement has been worth it.

Catholic trustees worried that drop in enrolment could affect funding Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Trustees with Holy Trinity Catholic School Division are worried that a decrease in students this year could affect how much grant funding the Ministry of Education provides.

Division administration had projected that 2,342 students would enrol for the 2021-22 school year. However, as of Sept. 30, there were 2,274 youths in Holy Trinity, a difference of 68.

All Saints Catholic School in Swift Current saw the sharpest decline, with 27 fewer youths than expected. The next decrease was 18 fewer students at St. Agnes School, 18 fewer students at Vanier Collegiate, 17 fewer youths at St. Margaret School, eight fewer students at Sacred Heart School, five fewer students at Christ the King School in Shaunavon and one fewer youth at St. Mary School.

St. Michael School did not see any change, while there were 18 more home-school students, eight more youths at Phoenix Academy, and 14 students learning through Regina Catholic’s online school program.

Holy Trinity trustees raised concerns about receiving less funding during their online October board meeting as part of their annual discussion about education with the four area MLAs. The four men include MLA Greg Lawrence with Moose Jaw Wakamow, MLA Tim McLeod with Moose Jaw North, MLA Everett Hindley in Swift Current and MLA Doug Steele from Shaunavon. Hindley is also the minister of Mental Health and Addictions, Seniors and

Rural and Remote Health.

Trustee Stephanie Nelson asked the MLAs if they had any knowledge about the ministry’s adjustment plans to increase or decrease funding in November based on final enrolment numbers. This was important, she noted, so that Holy Trinity can properly provide resources for its students.

Following the advice of local medical health officers, Holy Trinity implemented a mask mandate in September, she continued. However, this caused many parents to pull their kids and send them to Prairie South and Chinook school divisions before those organizations implemented mask mandates.

“We have discussed this concern with the deputy minister, and we ask for your support to ensure funding is not reduced for us later this year,” added Nelson.

The ministry has not finalized enrolment numbers, while some decisions must still be made about funding, but what will happen is not yet known, said Hindley. Meanwhile, Nelson made a valid point because the pandemic has influenced enrolments during the last few school years, the decisions that school divisions have had to make, and more parents are choosing online schooling for their children.

“It’s really thrown a wrench into how the Ministry of Education calculates that funding,” he added. “I don’t envy Minister (Dustin) Duncan and the position he is in right now. (But) we will deliver that message to the min-

Board chair Joann Blazieko added that with the mask mandate, many parents thought forcing children to wear face coverings would affect their mental health. Conversely, Holy Trinity thought implementing masks would keep people safe.

“Hopefully … we will not see any funding adjustments with respect to enrolment being below projection,” Curt Van Parys, chief financial officer, said later in the meeting.

Besides the masks, there are other reasons why fewer students could be attending this year, he continued. These include fewer WHL players attending high schools, immigration to other school divisions, fewer kindergarten and French immersion students and changes to an administrative procedure dealing with the acceptance of students.

Van Parys then presented a report looking at enrolment data back to the 2015-16 school year. The data for actual versus projected enrolment and the difference showed: · 2021-22: 2,274 / 2,342 / minus-68 · 2020-21: 2,301 / 2,401 / minus-100 · 2019-20: 2,399 / 2,379 / plus-20 · 2018-19: 2,321 / 2,196 / plus-125 · 2017-18: 2,248 / 2,160 / plus-88 · 2016-17: 2,186 / 2,138 / plus-48 · 2015-16: 2,133 / 2,313 / minus-180

TRADING THOUGHTS

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Alberta premier’s referendum victory hail based on falsehood

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney’s attempt to squeeze money from the equalization

by Ron Walter formula was hailed by Kenney The views and opinions ex- and others as solid support for pressed in this article are those of the author, and do not nec- a changed formula.

Nothing could be further essarily reflect the position of from the truth. this publication.

True, 61.7 per cent of those voting in the referendum supported Kenny’s desire to get rid of the equalization clause in the Canadian constitution.

But there were 2,353,000 eligible voters. Do the math. Just over one in four voters (27 per cent) supported Kenney’s position.

The rest either voted against or didn’t think the issue was important enough to bother voting. Few media news stories pointed out the discrepancy.

Only 44 per cent of voters filled out the equalization ballot.

That wasn’t the only bogus part of the equalization referendum.

Kenney has no power to change the equalization formula, which is a complex accounting that provides federal money to provinces so they can provide the same basic services across the country.

Alberta estimates $20 billion of its residents’ income taxes is used by the federal government for equalizations to the five provinces currently on the payment end of the formula.

Politics being deceitful as it is, Alberta has implied that it sends that money to Ottawa for dispersal.

The federal government uses tax money collected from the five so-called have provinces, including Saskatchewan, to pay for equalization.

It wasn’t too long ago that Saskatchewan was on the receiving end of equalization payments. In fact Premier Brad Wall was going to sue the feds for $800 million equalization allegedly owed Saskatchewan.

Wall “forgot’’ about the lawsuit when a Conservative government was elected federally.

For this fiscal year equalization payouts are $20.6 billion with the lion’s share of $13.1 billion to Quebec.

Other recipients are Manitoba, $2.7 billion; Nova Scotia, $2.3 billion; New Brunswick, $2.2 billion; and P.E.I., $484.000.

Quebec’s share of the payments has declined from 62 per cent to 59 per cent of the total in 10 years With almost seven years of oil price induced recession, Alberta’s government would like to share in the equalization pot.

Even with seven years of recession, Alberta has the highest average income of the 10 provinces, hardly making a case for federal welfare.

Perhaps if Kenney and company tried co-operation instead of caustic attitudes they might get somewhere.

Unfortunately Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe seems to be a fan of Kenney, mirroring Kenney’s pandemic policies. ______ Moose Jaw City Council has decided to adopt a code of ethics. Among the issues that will be included in the code is a clause enabling council to grant leave of absence to a member running for provincial or federal legislative office.

That clause should be changed to require immediate leave of absence once the council member declares intent to run.

You can’t serve three masters at the same time, especially when some have conflicting interests.

Once a candidate declares they are focused on personal advancement and the other legislative body, not on city affairs.

Terry Fox Run raises $4,700 in Moose Jaw despite pandemic challenges Event this past September surpasses fundraising totals for last two years due to generosity of local community Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

It’s been a common refrain for pretty much every charity during the ongoing pandemic -- fundraising efforts are down because people have been unable to gather and have other more pressing concerns than donating to their favourite organization.

But through it all, the Moose Jaw edition of the Terry Fox Run has managed to not only excel, they’ve also even seen their donations increase.

The 2021 edition of the annual event took place on Sept. 19 and ended up raising a total of $4,700, an impressive $1,000 more than was raised a year ago and $1,500 more than was raised in 2019.

“It’s always inspiring when people support the run and especially the last couple years when we haven’t been able to have the event full scale like has happened in the past,” said Moose Jaw Terry Fox Run organizer Craig Hemingway. “To be able to raise more money each year over the last three years has been tremendous. So we’d like to thank everybody who participated in any way, shape or form.”

Moose Jaw has traditionally turned out in force to support the Run, so to see the community come through in such a way isn’t unusual. But to raise ever-increasing totals in the midst of a pandemic was an impressive turn of events.

“I would say we’re pleasantly surprised, we know that Moose Jaw people are giving and we know the legacy that Terry Fox left, and because of that and people’s passion to participate and give in his memory, it’s not a huge

surprise,” Hemingway said. “It’s just very rewarding.”

A large portion of the funds came through online donations, something the Terry Fox Foundation put a much larger focus on over the last two years. Locally, that translated into $3,600, with an additional $1,100 brought in through t-shirt and merchandise sales.

The Run proper was a lowkey event that took place in Wakamow Valley, with around 25 people signing in and going for a stroll in the park on what turned out to be a beautiful fall day.

“People are looking for ways to help and if they can’t do it with the regular run they’ll do it other ways, which really worked out for us,” Hemingway said, adding that having a presence Stephanie Meyer, Kerri Thiele and Craig Hemingway organized the 2021 Terry at the Farmer’s Market through Fox Run in Moose Jaw, which brought in $4,700 for the Terry Fox Foundation. the summer also helped. “There were multiple ways to donate The Terry Fox Run annual raises more than $20 miland people found ways to be a part of it all and to help lion from events all over the world, with funds going toout.” ward cancer research.

Carbon Monoxide safety this fall

By April Meersman - Moose Jaw Express

A simple detector can save your life. Photo by April Meersman It’s that time of the year when we on the prairies need to be reminded that Carbon Monoxide poisoning can be deadly. As the weather gets colder and we need to use indoor heating, the gas that is created by burning fuel is odorless, colourless and tasteless, and when you breathe it in, it replaces the oxygen in your bloodstream. Because your cells need oxygen, without it you will die. That is why SaskEnergy wants to remind people about how important carbon monoxide(CO) safety is when starting up heating equipment this fall.

Early signs of CO poisoning are headache and flu-like symptoms. As the body becomes more oxygen deprived, CO builds up in the blood can lead to unconsciousness, loss of muscle control, brain damage and death.

As carbon monoxide is a gas, it will build up when ventilation is inadequate so to start the season safely, invest in a carbon monoxide detector that will alert you to the gas before any symptoms develop.

Any fuel burning appliance must be installed by a

Every person filing a written objection with SLGA shall state their name, address and telephone number in printed form, as well as the grounds for the objection(s).

Petitions must name a contact person, state grounds and be legible. Each signatory to the petition and the contact person must provide an address and telephone number. Frivolous, vexatious or competition-based objections within the beverage alcohol industry may not be considered and may be rejected by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Licensing Commission, who may refuse to hold a hearing.

professional to prevent substandard ventilation. Regular furnace cleaning and maintenance can also help prevent the gas from venting improperly back into the building.

Check all furnace vents for blocking debris and clean surrounding areas. If you use a wood stove or fireplace, have your chimney inspected for cracks and blockages by a professional.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is preventable. Saskatchewan emergency responds to about 1,300 cases related to CO incidents annually. Between 2015 and 2019, 16 persons died from CO poisoning.

So please be informed and take measures to remain carbon monoxide poisoning free this season.

How to Stay Safe During a Rise in Farm Equipment Thefts

By Eugenie Officer - Ag Journalist, Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

RCMP in Saskatchewan continue to warn farmers to remain vigilant against theft of valuable farm equipment this fall.

There were many more reports of thefts of agriculture-related items in rural areas this summer than in previous years. Farmers have lost thousands of dollars as a result of these thefts.

It is especially important for producers to ensure their equipment is properly stored during high-traffic times, such as harvesting and seeding state RCMP officers. It has been reported by police that theft is more likely to occur while agricultural equipment is in storage: The police suggests specific precautions producers can take immediately: • Remove all portable items (tools, GPS systems, radios) from inside your machinery as these are very attractive to thieves. If you cannot remove some items, record their serial numbers, mark them and take pictures of them so they can be identified if they are stolen and recovered.

• Move all equipment indoors. If this is not possible, store it in a well-lit area visible from your house but out-of-sight from the main roads.

• Install motion-sensor security lights or timer lights that turn on at sundown to discourage trespassers.

• Keep an inventory of your equipment that includes descriptions, serial numbers, makes, models and pictures.

• Walk around and check tractors, combines and other machinery regularly for signs of break-ins or damage.

Producers are encouraged to report thefts of farming equipment directly to a local RCMP detachment or to report thefts and damage under $5,000 online at https://ocre-sielc.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/saskatchewan/en.

City Hall Council Notes The next regular city council meeting is Monday, Nov 8

Soccer association signs new agreement with city to use Yara Centre Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Soccer Association has signed a new five-year agreement with city hall to use the Yara Centre, allowing the organization to continue providing indoor soccer programming and training for the community.

The soccer association (MJSA) has been a prime tenant at the Yara Centre since the building opened in 2011. As part of its tenancy, the association has received priority booking privileges for annual turf use allocations, along with dedicated office and storage space, a city council report explained.

The current three-year agreement between MJSA and the City of Moose Jaw Expire was to expire on Sunday, Oct. 31.

The new agreement starts on Monday, Nov. 1 and runs to Oct. 31, 2026.

During its Oct. 25 executive committee meeting, council voted 5-0 to approve the agreement and have the acting mayor and acting city clerk authorize the agreement.

Coun. Kim Robinson was absent.

The recommendation must be ap-

proved during a future council meeting to become official.

“The ability to provide indoor soccer programs at the Yara Centre is a tremendous benefit to the community. Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world and continues to grow in Canada,” said parks and rec director Derek Blais.

“That’s primarily due to its affordability, how it’s extremely popular with newcomers (and) low-income families because of limited equipment requirements, as well as lower registration fees than average sports.”

The soccer association experienced major changes during the past year as it worked with members to enhance programming and membership, he continued.

The group no longer has a paid administrator, so the board is more involved in the organization’s daily activities, which has helped the relationship between the city and the association.

This improved relationship has also included the soccer association making timely monthly payments and staying cur-

rent with its bills, Blais added. Also, signing an agreement for five years instead of three ensures consistency and allows the group to plan long-term.

Since 2018, the number of hours the soccer association has booked at the Yara Centre has fluctuated from 667.50 hours to 528.50 hours to a projected 600 next year, according to Blais’ report. Furthermore, revenues next year are expected to be $52,020; in 2018, revenues were $56,504.

Some other highlights of the new fiveyear agreement include: · The MJSA will receive a 15-per-cent discount on all minor rental rates and fees subject to the group booking a minimum of 500 hours from Sept. 1 to Aug. 31. If that doesn’t happen, the regular rate will be applied. The discount also aligns with the percentage discount that minor organizations receive for arena rentals. This change will increase rentals of a quarter section of turf to $86.70 per hour from $84.65 per hour · The discounted rental rate for MJSA is not expected to increase by more than 10

per cent from year to year · The MJSA will pay its rental fees in 12 equal monthly instalments starting in November each year, which should assist with the cash flow and budgeting for both groups · The soccer association has exclusive use of office space, equipment storage space, and a dedicated parking stall that only board members can access during regular building hours · City hall will provide the organization with free meeting space at the Kinsmen Sportsplex or Pla-Mor Palace, with those rooms used exclusively for meetings by the board of directors · The municipality will retain all the rights to sell or distribute food or beverages within the building, while it will also retain all advertising and marketing rights and revenues inside the venue · Either party may terminate the agreement after giving one year’s written notice. Default termination clauses have also been incorporated into the agreement

Resident worried that proposed bylaw could lead to elected officials abusing their position Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Resident Art King is concerned that a potential change to an ethics bylaw at city hall could open the door to abuse by elected officials and cost taxpayers thousands of dollars.

During its Sept. 27 regular meeting, city council unanimously voted to — among other directives — have city administration create a standalone elected members’ code of ethics bylaw to address four specific areas.

Those areas include: Providing greater detail on the nature of FORM 2 (Section 4)

ethical behaviours and the types of behaviours that will be monitored Expanding the complaints procedures component to address how and when an external investigation may be initiated Providing specific leave of absence provisions for a council member wishing to pursue provincial or federal politics Giving city administration the leeway to monitor additional matters that it believes council should review City administration plans to present potential amendments to The Elected

Members Code of Ethics Bylaw in the first quarter of 2022, a council report said. City hall needs to perform research to ensure the recommendations are fair and impartial.

The report added that there would also be an opportunity for council and the public to provide input about the proposed bylaw.

While the proposed recommendations are expected early next year, King decided not to wait until then to bring forward his concerns. Instead, he appeared before city council on Oct. 25 and spoke about what worried him with the expected bylaw; specifically, the proposed provision would let elected council members take a leave of absence to run for provincial or federal politics.

Residents running to be mayor or city councillor fill out nomination forms and are aware of the duration of the contract, the remuneration or pay, and the scope of the contract, which includes ethics and bylaws governing ethics, he pointed out.

Officials are required to swear an oath of office after being elected, declaring that they will be true, faithful and impartial to the best of their abilities and knowledge to perform the duties of their office, King continued.

“If the said party could take a leave of absence to run for the selected (provincial or federal) party and won, they would be in violation of their oath and contract, failing to perform in the best interest of

the taxpayer, forcing a byelection at the taxpayers’ expense,” he said. “This could possibly leave the door open to litigation to recapture the loss due to the breach.”

King believed that a breach had occurred through former mayor Fraser Tolmie running in — and winning — the 2021 federal election less than a year after winning re-election in the 2020 municipal election.

King also believed that the proposed bylaw left the door open for a similar breach in the future. This would then cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars to hold a byelection; roughly $80,000 is expected to be spent on the Nov. 3 mayoral byelection.

A Pandora’s box of problems could be opened with the potential leave of absence clause, especially before a municipal election happened, he continued. This would give the incumbent mayor or councillor an advantage knowing that if they failed to secure “the more prestigious employment and remuneration,” they could fall back on their secured job.

“Therefore, if the City of Moose Jaw administration is truly interested in integrity and ethical behaviour, the actions that are playing out are front and centre and should not be wrapped by putting lipstick on a pig,” King added.

After King’s presentation, council voted unanimously to receive and file his report.

City Hall Council Notes The next regular city council meeting is Monday, Nov 8

Council considers offering free downtown parking a week before Christmas Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

It could be a happy holiday for residents who want to shop downtown a week before Christmas, as city hall is working with the chamber of commerce to offer free metered parking.

Rob Clark, CEO of the Moose Jaw and District Chamber of Commerce, appeared before city council on Oct. 25 and asked that council approve his organization’s request to offer free two-hour parking from Dec. 21 to 24. He also asked council to waive a section of the Traffic Bylaw for this to happen and to enforce the maximum two-hour time limit at meters.

Council briefly discussed the issue but voted 4-2 to table the matter until city hall acquired more input from the downtown business association.

Councillors Kim Robinson and Doug Blanc were opposed.

Council has approved similar requests from the chamber in the past but defeated an appeal in 2014, so the chamber never made another application until now, a council report said.

The public works department estimates that it could lose roughly $8,000 in revenue if free parking is offered. Meanwhile, the Commissionaires would be responsible for enforcing the two-hour metered time limit.

A holly, jolly Christmas “Coming off a very successful Christmas in October (on Oct. 22-23), I followed up with a few businesses in town and, to keep the momentum going, we are requesting a free metered parking from Tuesday, Dec. 21 until Friday, Dec. 24,” Clark said. “(It’s a) goodwill gesture that’s guaranteed to bring glad tidings to retailers and consumers alike.”

The Christmas season is an important time for businesses in the area, so free parking could bring more residents and visitors to shop before Christmas Day, he continued. Offering parking for gratis would also enhance the vitality of the business core in what can be a challenging environment.

The chamber would communicate

with downtown businesses about the free parking, while the organization would remind shops that the free parking is for customers and not for employees, Clark said. The chamber would also market and promote the initiative.

Council discussion This request hasn’t returned to council since 2014 because, in previous years, some businesses were not thrilled with offering free parking since many downtown employees parked at the meters all day, especially when the weather was frigid, said Acting Mayor Dawn Luhning.

“I think the downtown (business) group should be consulted first … ,” she added. “We do have to appreciate some businesses that don’t appreciate how meters can be abused five days before the Christmas holiday.”

Council received negative calls from businesses about this initiative when it operated years ago, said Coun. Heather Eby. It was difficult for customers to shop downtown when businesses’ employees

were taking up spaces.

Eby also agreed that having the blessing from the downtown business association — or some businesses in general — for this initiative was important.

Council didn’t charge for downtown parking during the pandemic in mid-2020 since council wanted to alleviate the stress that downtown businesses were facing, said Coun. Crystal Froese. That stress still exists, so this request could encourage more people to shop and help small businesses.

The downtown business association next meets on Tuesday, Nov. 9, so it could be possible to seek input from that group and return with the information for the Nov. 22 council meeting, said city manager Jim Puffalt. It would also be a matter of speaking with the Moose Jaw Police Service about the relaxed parking restrictions.

Council then tabled the matter until feedback from the downtown association was acquired.

Only 22 per cent of residents use transit regularly, survey finds Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

More than three-quarters of residents who responded to a City of Moose Jaw survey do not use transit, while most of those who do ride buses use regular fixedroute services.

Of the 476 people who answered the questionnaire, 76.11 per cent said they did not use bus service, 22.41 per cent used fixed-route service, 4.02 per cent used dial-a-ride service, 2.75 per cent used paratransit, and 0.85 per cent used charter.

Of the 141 people who do use transit, 43.26 per cent use it to shop, 42.55 per cent use it to reach medical appointments, 38.30 per cent use it for work, 31.91 per cent have no other option, 16.31 per cent need it for school and 20.5 per cent indicated “other” as their response.

City administration presented the survey results during the recent city council meeting. The 24-question survey asked residents for feedback about 2022 budget priorities and transit service.

While 72.12 per cent of people never rode the bus in the past month, 12.74 per cent had taken transit one and 10 times, 10.82 per cent had ridden the bus 11 to 30 times, and 4.33 per cent had taken transit more than 30 times.

Obstacles preventing people from using transit service included preferring to use a car (47.51 per cent), buses not running late in the evening (27.91 per cent), buses running infrequently (23.26 per cent), buses not starting early enough (18.84 per cent), personal vehicles are needed for a job (16.05 per cent), bus stops aren’t close to home or destination (13.49 per cent), booking is limited for paratransit or dial-a-bus (8.84 per cent) and 13.02 per cent said “other.”

About 72 per cent of respondents said some areas or locations are underserved by transit, such as Yara Centre.

“I’m happy to see it showed up here because (the Yara Centre) is one area we

need to add transit,” Coun. Doug Blanc said during the presentation. “I agree; our transit system is underused.”

Meanwhile, it didn’t matter to 62 per cent of people that the municipality had started a dial-a-bus service this year. However, 13.50 per cent liked it and 24.71 per cent preferred regular service on Saturdays.

The survey gave respondents eight options about which times the city could add for better transit service. Nearly 65 per cent said weekday evenings after 6:30 p.m. were best, followed by 47.81 per cent for Saturday evenings after 5 p.m.

Nearly 68 per cent of respondents said it was unlikely or very unlikely that they would take charter bus service. However, 23.17 per cent said they needed more information, while almost nine per cent said it was likely or very likely they would use such service.

Council discussion

Coun. Crystal Froese was pleased to see that more people had responded to this survey than in 2019 when slightly more than 200 answered the questionnaire. She asked city administration if it had pushed the survey using the city’s service app.

City hall did use the service app to push the survey and alerted residents several times, said communications manager Craig Hemingway.

“That to me would indicate we had better uptake than previously because we did not have the app last time,” replied Froese.

The transit department will summarize the information in the survey and create a report for the 2022 budget discussions, possibly making suggestions about the future of transit service, director Darrin Stephanson told council.

“That’s great. I hope this is not gathered and then left to collect dust,” said Coun. Jamey Logan.

Pandemic has negatively affected almost 40% of residents, survey suggests Nearly 40 per cent of people who completed a City of Moose Jaw survey say they experienced job or income loss during the pandemic, compared to 11 per cent who faced no challenges whatsoever.

According to the survey’s results, of the 476 respondents, 65.17 per cent experienced reduced recreation and leisure activities, 37.82 per cent lost a job or income, 27.99 per cent had difficulty managing work or home priorities while juggling home-schooling, and 16.67 per cent had reduced transportation options.

Meanwhile, 11.11 per cent said they faced no challenges, while 14.32 per cent gave “other” as a reason.

The percentages do not add up to 100 since respondents could pick more than one option.

The query was part of a 24-question survey that city hall issued in mid-September that asked residents for feedback about 2022 budget priorities and Moose Jaw’s transit service.

A total of 476 people completed the survey, including 456 people who responded online and 20 respondents who completed a paper questionnaire.

New story trail available for the public

by Natalie Lund - Moose Jaw Express

The City of Moose Jaw now has a new story trail available located at the corner of Coteau St. West and 16th Ave SW along the Rotary Trail.

It is the second and is a self-guided walk that displays pages of a story book with each page of the book displayed in chronological order.

The Story Trail was made possible with funding presented by Saskatchewan Lotteries, Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association, KidsFirst and the Moose Jaw Early Years Family Resource Centre.

“The city was interested in partnering with us. We have one (story trail) currently at the Resource Centre and the city was looking to part-

ner with us for one of their own to display. So we happily said yes we would be a part of it anyway that we could,” said Wanda Peakman, coordinator at the (FRC) Moose Jaw Early Years Family Resource Centre.

The stories featured on the trail will be routinely prepared and updated by the Early Years Family Resource Centre.

The current story, “Pumpkin Town by Katie McKy” was prepared for Halloween and was set out and ready for the public to enjoy.

“The story was chosen as it is fitting for the season that we are in, with harvest and fall and with Halloween coming. It’s a fun, family book with some nice illustrations

and fun words, so just something to kick-off the beginning of the story trail keeping in mind a theme for the seasons and all that,” explained Peakman.

The City encourages everyone to stay #NotoriouslyActive while enjoying a good story book along the way.

“The trail is up all the time so you don’t need to register to go through; you can readily walk through it at your [own] pace and time. The intention behind it is to give families the opportunity to go outside and read a story together,” said Peakman.

For more information on the city’s trail please contact the Moose Jaw City Hall at (306)-694-4400.

War Amputee Veterans Started 100-Year Legacy Of the thousands of Canadian soldiers who were wounded while serving in the First and Second World Wars, many returned home missing limbs. United by a common bond of amputation, these veterans not only served their country during wartime, but they made a difference in the lives of generations of amputees that continues today.

In 1916, on the battlefields at Ypres in Northern Belgium, Sidney Lambert (1887 – 1971), a Lieutenant Colonel and Army Padre, lost his left leg above the knee.

While recovering at a hospital in Toronto, Lambert conceived of the idea of a national association to bring together, support and fight the battles for amputee veterans, today known as The War Amps.

In 1920, he became the first Dominion President of the Association and worked tirelessly to bring veterans issues before

Sidney Lambert, Neil Conner and Bert Coulson the government.

It was these First World War amputee veterans, like Lambert, who welcomed

the new contingent of amputee veterans following the Second World War, helping them adapt to their new reality and sharing all that they had learned.

One of these was Neil Conner (1918 – 2012) who served as a navigator with the Royal Canadian Air Force. He was injured when his plane was shot down near Bremen, Germany, resulting in the loss of his right leg below the knee.

Another was Bert Coulson (1921 –

1979) who served with the Canadian Army and lost both of his legs below the knee due to injuries sustained while serving in Emmerich, Germany.

Along with their fellow War Amps members, these veterans went on to provide support to civilian amputees. Coulson said the best way to help was to “roll up my pant leg and show them we can dance, bowl, hold down a normal job. It’s what you have left that counts.”

The War Amps veteran members established the Key Tag Service, which is still going strong today, to fund the Association’s many vital programs for amputees across Canada.

Rob Larman, a Director at The War Amps and a leg amputee himself, said Mr. Lambert, Conner and Coulson proved that they would not let their amputation hold them back in all aspects of life.

“Though they considered themselves to be ‘ordinary guys,’ our founding veteran members have left a legacy for generations of amputees that has gone on for 100 years and counting,” said Larman. “On Remembrance Day especially, but also throughout the year, we pay tribute to their sacrifice and service.”

Re: Tribute to Veteran Members of The War Amps As we approach Remembrance Day, I’d like to pay tribute to the veteran members of The War Amps.

The War Amps was started by amputee veterans returning from the First World War to help each other adapt to their new reality as amputees. They then welcomed amputee veterans following the Second World War, sharing all that they had learned.

These founding members then established the Key Tag Service, which is still going strong today, to fund the Association’s many vital programs including The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program.

I was born a partial left hand amputee and grew up in CHAMP which provided me with financial assistance for prosthetic devices and offered emotional support. These veterans have left a lasting impact on generations of amputees as they taught us that

we should be proud of our amputation and to know that it will not stop us from achieving our goals.

Everyday, but particularly on Remembrance Day, Canadian amputees like me honour these veterans who not only served their country but returned home to make life better for all amputees.

Mechanic Herman Nuhn kept Canada’s jet fighters flying during the Cold War

Canada’s CF-100 jet fighters helped keep the Russians out of Cuba during the Cold War, but the planes wouldn’t have stayed in the air without the efforts of men like Herman Nuhn.

Nuhn, 96, joined the military in 1952 and trained in North Bay, Ont., as an aero-engine maintenance technician. He was later assigned to 419 Fighter Squadron, where his job was to fuel the planes, maintain them and prepare them for their next missions.

During the 1950s and ’60s, those missions usually involved responding to incursions by Russian fighter planes.

“We were on 24-hour standby,” said Nuhn. “The CF-100s were fully armed.”

The Russians regularly attempted to supply Cuba with war materials during this period since the island had turned Communist following a revolution. It was also close enough to North America to pose a problem if it had military weapons.

Military officials with the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) alerted the pilots that the Russians were coming, so the airmen jumped into their planes and took off “full blast.”

The CF-100 pilots would tail the Russians before driving them off. The pilots would then return to base in the evenings.

“Russia finally quit sending arms because of us … they couldn’t get to Cuba,” Nuhn said. “There wasn’t a shot fired, as far as I know.”

The Cold War veteran noted that contributing to Canada’s defence and maintaining the fighter planes was a good feeling. “(The CF-100s) were good little aircraft. They could fly on one engine,” Nuhn added. “That little bird, she was pretty steady.”

A military life Nuhn was born in 1925 in Ontario and, at age 18, took over the family farm with his brother after their father died.

The Second World War was still raging and Nuhn was eligible to enlist.

However, the military told him to stay on the farm since the country needed more food than soldiers.

However, farm life was not enjoyable for the young man since it inflamed his

After driving on combines all day, Nuhn found that his asthma had virtually disappeared — the dry air made life easier.

Nuhn later returned to Ontario, and still suffering from asthma, entered the military in 1952 and was made a corporal.

He was tasked with fixing engines, something in which he had always been interested.

The aero-engine maintenance technician served across the country during his 23-year career — he finished as a sergeant — but preferred Western Canada because the dry air made it easier to breathe.

Nuhn recalled working on Canada’s two Comet airplanes, the first pure military transport jet used to haul passengers to bases across the world. However, technical issues grounded the planes — a British Comet exploded over the Mediterranean Sea — until modifications could be made.

Even with upgrades, Nuhn still experienced a close call while accompanying an aircrew to Khartoum, Sudan, in 1957. The crew had landed at the airbase to refuel and planned to take off the next day. However, when they attempted to get aloft, the plane had no lift — and had a full gasoline load.

Photos on Herman Nuhn’s wall include a photo of him in his military uniform and a photo of his wife, Audi.

“Just at the end of the runway, the aircraft staggered into the air. And of course, we got airborne,” he said. “And from then on, we took off early in the morning when the air was damp in Africa … because this pure jet takes air into the engine, and if it’s hot, it doesn’t have the power (to lift off).”

On another occasion, Nuhn inspected a single-seater Lockheed T-33 jet fighter and found cracks in the tailpipe. He repaired the damage and ensured neither the pilot nor the plane was lost due to mechanical error.

A view of the world Nuhn serviced all types of aircraft during the Cold War and felt he had a good life during this time. His career took him across the world, including Europe, where he saw Mount Matterhorn in the Alps and Vatican City and the Colosseum in Rome

“You did your service to Canada. You fixed aircraft … ,” Nuhn added. “It was enjoyable.”

Mayoral candidate Q&A

By Moose Jaw Express staff

The Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com sent out a questionnaire to each of the candidates running to be the next mayor of Moose Jaw. We will be publishing these results in order they were received.

The mayoral byelection is set for Wednesday, Nov. 3.

Only six candidate responses to questionnaire were published last edition due to publishing deadlines. Here are the remaining three.

Brett McAuley

Brett McAuley What would be your top priority as mayor?

To change the culture in city hall. Our city deserves a shift to an idea that city hall is a service provider and a place where people can have their voices heard with a receptive ear and a reassurance that their concerns are going to be taken seriously and be taken care of. This flows down through every point in my platform.

To know, as a citizen, that our tax dollars are being spent responsibly and that our property assessments, both personal and business, are carefully evaluated based on an actual value, is of primary concern to me in my effort to become mayor. I want all our citizens and businesses to know that we are on their side, that we care about who they are and what they do, and that

Crystal Froese

Crystal Froese What would be your top priority as mayor?

I would be working full-time for our citizens and businesses to create a stronger city through direct engagement, a safe community strategy and working collaboratively with my colleagues on council. As mayor I would also get out from behind the desk and stay connected to our community and pursue economic development that fits our city.

What would you like to accomplish or see happen in your first 100 days?

As mayor, I would begin three significant initiatives in the first 100 days: Implement my open-door policy and begin direct communications to the public on issues and items we are working on.

I will begin a safe community task force to address the increase in issues that have been impacting neighbourhoods all over our city. This would include a street-level approach in collaboration with organizations and experts who address the social issues along with property, business owners, police and fire representatives and provincial officials. This committee would work

their contributions are valuable and should be appropriated accordingly.

What would you like to accomplish or see happen in your first 100 days?

I’ll be working with council to discuss a strategy to implement the culture change I want to foster in city hall. I intend on making sure we, as council, work towards having the proper people in key positions to make sure this goes smoothly. Working with our city manager to research exhaustively the spending in the different departments in city hall will help us to eliminate waste and find efficiencies to better control our spending.

How can city council be more transparent in its decision making?

With honesty! With me as your mayor you can count on full transparency. We work for you, not the other way around.

What do you think about city council spending more on projects than it budgeted for this year?

Sometimes that has to happen but let me assure you that keeping a balanced budget is always, or should always be, our goal as those who are running the city.

I don’t know if you’re speaking of something specific, but we do have surplus funds in case of emergencies. That said, we have more options that just our surplus fund for projects. We can defer payments to fit budgetary concerns with loans and we can investigate options like provincial and federal grants and other funding opportunities provided by other agencies.

What do you think about council using surplus account -- such as the accumulated account -- to pay for unexpected

expenses?

Since that is exactly what the fund is for, I’m completely in favour of it, but it has to be done in a way to not compromise the future growth and financial standing of the city. Making and following the year’s budget is always going to be the primary and expected way to pay for everything.

Every budget should include a reserve fund for unforeseen expenses, so I don’t expect that we’ll be dipping into the surplus fund often unless we see an opportunity that presents itself with great benefit to us all in Moose Jaw. Do you think that community beautification initiatives are necessary and should be spent out of surplus funds?

Keeping our city visually appealing is a source of pride to those who live here, and it also makes others who visit our fine city love visiting, so yes, to answer your question directly, community beautification initiatives are absolutely necessary.

That said, each project is unique and must be evaluated accordingly. Finding ways to fund these initiatives without surplus monies will always be our goal, but if we can utilize surplus funds responsibly without compromising our future, I don’t see why we can’t Your job is to represent everyone in the city. How do you plan to represent people who do not vote for you?

I will make every effort to make time in my schedule to listen to you and have that conversation you seek. I will make myself available to the public regularly at scheduled events and functions, so you can tell me what’s on your mind. By being open

minded, willing to listen, and doing my best to understand I can be the best mayor I can be to everyone, including those who didn’t vote for me.

What issue doesn’t receive enough attention in Moose Jaw? The taxpayer. I routinely hear stories of dissatisfaction; bad roads, scaled back services, property tax assessments unfairly high and inaccurate, being given the runaround when calling city hall for concerns, and the list goes on. We can and will do better, I promise.

What issue receives too much attention?

The money we spend/spent on Mosaic Place and Yara Centre. These are both fabulous facilities, world-class. We wouldn’t be able to host wonderful events like the Scotties Tournament of Hearts or bring in musical acts like we do without them. Our Moose Jaw Warriors spend a great deal of time there too. I will agree that we must find a way for both facilities to pay for themselves and that will be something the council spends time on.

What informs your political stance?

Logic and common sense. I would consider myself conservative in nature, but as this position isn’t really party affiliated, I believe that I will defer to logic and common sense.

What is something people don’t know about you?

I grew up on a farm two miles from the town of McAuley, Man. The town was named after my great-great-grandfather because a grain elevator was built on his land next to the CP railroad, or at least that is what I’ve been told.

together on solutions and would identify areas where we need more resources in our city.

I will immediately focus on attracting economic development opportunities to our city by pursuing partners for the agriculture industrial park and commercial areas.

I would meet with elected officials from the rural municipalities and province to explore an expansion of the RM of Baildon irrigation partnership.

I would also meet with our representatives of the chamber of commerce, downtown, Visit Moose Jaw and tourism associations, along with economic development experts to explore an immediate strategy that can continue to support and promote our local business community.

How can city council be more transparent in its decision making?

I would continue to be vigilant in following the legislation under the Municipalities and Cities Acts that govern all in-camera meetings. I would also work to keep the public informed directly from the mayor’s office. Communication is key; it is one of my career strengths and I would make sure information is provided from the mayor’s office to reach people where they get their news; from newspapers, online and our city app. It is part of my open-door policy that I would implement.

What do you think about city council spending more on projects than it budgeted for this year?

We are tackling the largest infrastructure renewal our city has ever seen. Projects and upgrades to our lift stations, reservoirs, pump houses, cast iron water mains, sewer systems and other areas around our city.

These have to be completed each year in the construction season; sometimes there can be changes that arise that may require additional funds to finish the projects.

What do you think about council using surplus account — such as the accumulated account — to pay for unexpected expenses?

The accumulated surplus is only used when needed; historically it has been used for capital projects. It was drawn on in 2017 when the province cancelled $4.5 million grants-in-lieu funding. It was also used in 2018 to provide funding assistance to both senior centres.

During the pandemic, it has been used to support the business community by funding the appeals allowance and an assistance program when businesses were confronted with limited opening ability. It is there to use when there are unforeseen circumstances, and we know that the pandemic is certainly a challenging time.

Do you think that community beautification initiatives are necessary and should be spent out of surplus funds?

Improvements such as beautification, maintenance, and upgrades in our community are all a part of our asset management strategy. It is important to have a strategy to look after the assets and areas of our city; if we allow things to deteriorate then in the long run, they will cost more money to rejuvenate.

The cast-iron water main renewal is what sparked the demand to create an asset strategy for all areas of our city. City council identifies priorities and uses our capital budget each year to tackle these projects.

Your job is to represent everyone in the city. How do you plan to represent people who do not vote for you?

My approach to serving as a city councillor for five years has always been to represent all of our city. Citizens’ concerns are my concerns. I am a person of action, from garbage issues, funding for seniors’ centres, road issues, business, water issues, I listen, follow up, and I act. I feel this is an important part of my full-time commitment to serving as your mayor.

What issue doesn’t receive enough attention in Moose Jaw? It was recently announced that the provincial government’s municipal police grants are funding our police service at the same

level as last year. That continues to be an unequal per capita amount compared to funding they provide to other cities across our province. We need to advocate to our provincial partners so that they will begin to fund our city on an equal basis.

We need to grow our Police and Crisis Team, which partners police officers with mental health care workers. Our city also needs additional support in specialty areas such as the Internet Child Exploitation Unit and the Crime Reduction Team, which focuses on increasing community safety, reducing violence and investigating organized crime.

What issue receives too much attention?

I don’t think there is any issue that receives too much attention. As mayor, I will always take the approach of how I can help. It is important to respond to citizens’ concerns with respect and to find solutions and or answers to their inquiries. When someone approaches me with a concern, I act on the information to find solutions. The role of the mayor is to serve in a full-time capacity; it is a priority to return calls, meet with people and help on issues that residents, businesses and organizations are having.

What informs your political stance?

My political stance is formed through continually seeking out as much information from all sides on an issue so I can make the most informed decision at the council table. Reading the reports provided by staff is important, but I also go out and look into the issue and meet with concerned citizens.

I ask questions of our administration, and I seek to get a full picture of the situation to make fair, and well-informed decisions.

What is something people don’t know about you?

I have a big passion for the outdoors.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me out on the trails on my mountain bike, running or during the winter cross-country skiing on the river. Moose Jaw is filled with beautiful places to go all year round.

Kim Robinson

Kim Robinson What would be your top priority as mayor?

My immediate priority would be bringing in a budget that is balanced between residents’ desired service levels and keeping any tax increase as low as possible. It is fine if we desire weekly garbage or snow removal, but it all comes with cost, which may mean lessening one service area to increase another in order to forego tax increases.

Ongoing though it would be, my priority for a “Moose Jaw first” feel to restore the community vibrancy we once enjoyed.

Capitalize on our unique assets, our downtown history and perhaps bring a theme to our city in breathing life back to tourism and River Street/downtown. I would love to see us strengthen our community by investing in the groups that not only help so many areas of our community but show great initiative in helping themselves.

What would you like to accomplish or

see happen in your first 100 days?

As mentioned previously, I would like to lead a well-defined balanced budget to keep tax increases at bay. I think we need to create a defined strategy to help with the drug, crime and homeless/hunger issue that are so prevalent in Moose Jaw. As many people mention that this is a provincial area of responsibility, but I believe we as a city have a duty to help. We can support those programs that work hard in our community, much like we see in Regina where they have committed a portion of funds to aid in the fight against homelessness and substance use issues.

How can city council be more transparent in its decision making?

I would like to see a minimum of in-camera meetings. Obviously there are some privacy issues that dictate the need for in-camera, but we need to question, “Does this really need to be in-camera?” Also, with today’s digital reporting and polling capabilities, I think we should seriously consider community focus groups to get a genuine feel for what our citizens really want. I believe this could really instill a trust and cohesiveness between our residents and our staff and council.

What do you think about city council spending more on projects than it budgeted for this year?

Well, this is a tough question in our current pandemic situation contributing to some cost overruns, however, the bottom line is overruns cost the taxpayer in some form or fashion. I believe that a comprehensive budget needs to weigh our priorities against available public resources; once that is completed it should be adhered to as near gospel.

Perhaps our current overspending could be somewhat attributed to some less than realistic contingencies considering much

of our project work deals with unknown buried infrastructure and some very old infrastructure. I think that quicker reporting, gathered reliable historic data and a view to possible occurrence of unforeseen issues will help alleviate overruns on my watch.

What do you think about council using surplus account — such as the accumulated account — to pay for unexpected expenses?

Over the course of a budget year our city will often have to deal with unexpected or unknown expenses. Reserves are built to be able to meet these expenses. Of course, this is exercised so we do not affect the budget. Is it ideal? Probably not, but great to be able to cover unexpected expenses without an increase in taxes Do you think that community beautification initiatives are necessary and should be spent out of surplus funds?

I absolutely believe community beautification initiatives can be helped from surplus funds. Community beautification should be a strategy to maintain, enhance, and change the very character of our city. I believe we would see a “notorious positivity” in our residents, our tourists and our businesses. I don’t think it needs to be a hand-out, rather, support the many groups and associations already working in this area. Crescent Park used to be a magical place for me in my youth. I would love to see it returned to the active, beautiful centerpiece it once was!

Your job is to represent everyone in the city. How do you plan to represent people who do not vote for you?

I am not a politician, I am not wealthy, I work like most people and own only my home. I feel I am really the genuine “average Moose Javian,” warts, blemishes, strengths and weaknesses included. I do

consider myself a leader and I have always been able to bring consensus in large numbers. My style is to lead by example and common-sense with fairness and kindness as a guiding principle.

What issue doesn’t receive enough attention in Moose Jaw? I would have to say the increase in property crime and our growing drug problems.

I believe that a concentrated reduction in this area would make Moose Jaw a safer and happier city. Then we can concentrate on our tourism industry, supporting business growth and improving lives for all in Moose Jaw. What issue receives too much attention?

Our poor roads and constant excavations!

We know and live the annoyances, complaints and detours. We really do have a great compliment of capable engineers, planners, operators, managers and employees who earn their paycheques. We are completing kilometre after kilometre of renewal. Sometimes it is difficult to see while avoiding the existing potholes, but we are getting substantially better.

What informs your political stance?

My political philosophy upholds liberty as a core principle, the freedom to govern oneself as long as you are not infringing on another’s freedoms. Having grown up in a Christian household and a family-owned business, I believe in the tenets of hard work and that a client-first attitude is a key to success. My parents taught us to listen more than you talk and always treat others how you would like to be treated.

What is something people don’t know about you?

I spend an inordinate amount of time training my dog to scent and retrieve and she does not seem that grateful for it. I have come to believe that she is only doing it because she thinks I like it.

City clerk’s office prepared for potentially close outcome during mayoral by-election The first-ever mayoral by-election in Moose Jaw history is nearly here and the city clerk’s office has been diligently preparing for voting day and a potentially close outcome.

Election Day is Wednesday, Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters in Moose Jaw can vote at Minto United Church, Cosmo Senior Citizens Centre, Church of Our Lady, or the super-polling station at the Moose Jaw Exhibition Convention Centre.

Nine candidates are vying to become the next mayor of Moose Jaw, including Coun. Heather Eby, Coun. Crystal Froese, Coun. Kim Robinson, Mike Simpkins, Wayne Watermanuk, Brett McAuley, Sam Morrison, Michael Haygarth and Clive Tolley.

City hall has been preparing for the mayoral by-election ever since previous incumbent Fraser Tolmie became the Member of Parliament for the Moose JawLake Centre-Lanigan constituency following the 2021 federal election in September.

“The city clerk’s office has put a lot of work into ensuring safe and accessible voting and will continue to put every effort into ensuring the voting process goes as smooth as possible for residents,” city hall said in an email.

Running a mayoral by-election is similar to holding a by-election for a city councillor position, and since the City of Moose Jaw follows the election bylaw, there have not been changes to that bylaw since last year, the email continued.

Warriors weirdness continues with loss to Saskatoon, win over Medicine Hat Yager scores overtime winner as Moose Jaw takes 4-3 victory at Mosaic Place Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Through the first 10 games of the Western Hockey League season, the Moose Jaw Warriors have had enough unusual occurrences go against them to fill a whole campaign.

Teams putting together big scoring runs almost out of nowhere. Late goals leading to overtime games. And even one of the greatest rarities in junior hockey, a game without a power play.

This past week was no different, as the Warriors gave up five goals in six minutes in the second period in a loss to the Winnipeg Ice last Wednesday but were able to return to the win column with a 4-3 overtime victory over the Medicine Hat Tigers Saturday.

“This is definitely is a lot of weight off our shoulders,” Warriors defenceman Denton Mateychuk said shortly after Saturday’s home-ice win. “We played a good game today, we were solid for 60 minutes and I think that was the biggest thing. We came into the game ready, we knew we needed a win and that’s a huge confidence booster going into next week.”

Ryder Korczak had a goal and two assists in the win, while Mateychuk and Eric Alarie had a goal and an assist each.

Brayden Yager scored the winner in overtime, finishing off a slick bit of passing

Logan Doust celebrates an apparent goal with Brayden Yager, but the puck was ruled to be kicked in. on the power play with a howitzer of a one-timer.

That the game even made it to overtime was a sign of how things have gone for the team this season -- Medicine Hat’s Noah Danielson scored with the goaltender pulled with 1:30 remaining in regulation as the Warriors tried to close things out.

It could have led to another difficult ending for the local crew, but head coach Mark O’Leary settled things down quickly.

“I think it kind of went to our heads, but Mark was really calm with us on the bench and made sure we knew the game wasn’t over, we were still in this thing as much as we were five seconds ago,” Mateychuk said. “So I think that was huge; it

relaxed everybody and had us ready for the rest of the game.”

Carl Tetachuk finished the game with 28 saves to earn the win.

In Saskatoon earlier in the week, the Warriors were in the thick of things after the first period, but WHL scoring leader Tristen Robins had a hat trick to key a sixgoal run from 2:10 to 8:26 of the second period and turn the game into a runaway.

Yager and Lucas Brenton scored a couple of goals for the Warriors late to make things a little interesting, but they’d

get no closer.

Brett Mirwald got the start in goal for Moose Jaw but was pulled after allowing five goals on 14 shots; Tetachuck stopped 22 shots the rest of the way.

The Warriors are now 4-6-0-0 on the season and return to action Wednesday in Regina to kick of a run of three games on the road. Next home action is Tuesday, Warriors forward Martin Rysavy battles Nov. 9 when they host the Red Deer Rebels.

AAA Warriors settle for weekend split with Battlefords Stars Moose Jaw falls 6-2 one day after taking 4-3 overtime win in Sask Male AAA Hockey League action Local hockey fans taking in the Sask Male AAA Hockey League game between the Moose Jaw Warriors and Battlefords Stars on Sunday afternoon might have felt like they were going through a bit of deja vu.

A team generating all sorts of scoring chances, not getting rewarded and eventually dropping a decision in a game where they carried the play much of the way?

Sounds an awful lot like a certain Western Hockey League franchise that also plays in Mosaic Place.

At least the news wasn’t all tough for the AAA Warriors on the weekend, though, as before dropping a 6-2 decision in a game they dominated, they picked up a 4-3 overtime win on Saturday night.

“Obviously it’s tough when you lose a game like that, but we did a lot of good things,” Warriors head coach Trevor Weisgerber said after the loss. “Looking at it that way, you play some of those games where you end up not coming out on top, when we had them 2-1 we should have had that killer instinct and got the next one.

Then they get a couple of bounces and a couple of greasy goals and all of a sudden we’re down 3-2. That’s the way it goes.”

Brady Wilson had the Warriors’ lone goal in the first period as the two teams were tied 1-1, and Blake Ekren-Bratton

Moose Jaw AAA Warriors forward Rowan Calvert with one of many, many scoring chances on Battlefords’ Matthew Ofukany on Sunday afternoon. gave Moose Jaw the lead with 6:28 to play in the second period.

With the way the Warriors were carrying the play, things looked exceptionally good -- until the Battlefords scored goals 1:34 apart late in the period to take the lead out of a frame where they gave up 21

shots.

“Obviously we ran into a hot goaltender, but they played well,” Weisgerber said.

“They just get pucks out and they work hard;it’s just one of those games where you get an insurance goal and it

changes the game. But we’re still happy with our effort.”

Ryan Bain took the loss with a 28save performance, Matthew Ofukany was outstanding for Battlefords with 39 saves, many of the spectacular variety as the Warriors pressed.

“The last little bit we’ve had some trouble scoring; we went through that stretch where we were scoring a bunch and now we’re kind of snake-bitten,” Weisgerber said. “So we just have to stick with it and make things tough on other teams, get in front of the goaltender and go for those greasy ones.”

Saturday, the Warriors had goals from Wilson, Jackson Allan and Rowan Calvert and looked to have things in hand before Battlefords tied the game with 49 seconds remaining.

Overtime didn’t last long, though, as Calvert -- who had signed a WHL player agreement with the Saskatoon Blades earlier in the day -- scored with 2:56 gone to give the Warriors the 4-3 win.

Moose Jaw is back in action Wednesday night when they travel to Regina to face the Pat Canadians. The Warriors aren’t back on home ice for a game until Saturday, Nov. 20 when they host the Yorkton Maulers.

In girls’ league play, the Peacock Toilers capped their campaign with a perfect 9-0 record after taking a 3-0 (25-23, 25-20, 25-17) win over Briercrest Christian Academy (2-6) in Caronport.

The Central Cyclones finished in second place with a 5-3 record after sweeping the Vanier Spirits 3-0 (25-8, 25-10, 25-19) at Central. Vanier fell to 1-8 on the season.

The girls’ semifinals will take place on Thursday, Nov. 4 and will see Vanier at Peacock and Briercrest Christian at Central. Both games start at 6:20 p.m.

Estevan defeats Spartans to win Kinsmen Moose Jaw Minor Football Under-12 championship Cold and windy conditions lead to ground battle between high-scoring teams before Estevan emerges with 27-0 win.

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The championship final of the Kinsmen Moose Jaw Minor Football Under-12 division was supposed to be a high-scoring barnburner of an affair, the kind of game where the last team that had the ball would probably win.

The last time the Moose Jaw Spartans and Estevan Chargers met in the regular season, a 61-50 scorefest in Estevan that saw the Chargers emerge victorious.

But Mother Nature had other ideas.

And it didn’t take long for the two high-scoring clubs to settle into the kind of grinding ground battle one would expect in cold and windy conditions.

In the end, Estevan would come out of the contest with a 27-0 victory over the Spartans, capping a campaign that included only a single loss in their first game of the season.

For the Spartans, it was a tough loss that left the local crew wondering what might have been.

“The weather certainly didn’t suit our team well with regards to our strengths, we’re a pretty strong passing team and we’re not as big up front as some other teams,” said Spartans coach Colin Belsher.

“In a game like that you hope to be big up front and just pound the ball regardless of the weather.

“Unfortunately for us, it was a factor,

Action from the Kinsmen Moose Jaw Minor Football U-12 championship game on Saturday night. but it’s obviously not the only factor. Estevan was a better team that day and they were a very deserving team to win the city final. It’s just one of the many factors that went into the outcome of the game.”

As the score would indicate, the Chargers were able to use their size to control

the line of scrimmage, often getting quick penetration into Moose Jaw’s backfield and opening gaps for their running game to flow through. The Spartans had their moments of brilliance, but just couldn’t finish off their offensive drives.

“Both teams had to play in the weath-

er and Estevan seemed to adapt better than us,” Belsher said. “It’s unfortunate because these kids worked hard all year and you hope to see them rewarded for it all, but in the end they all became better football players and made a lot friendships and that’s why we play the sport.”

And that’s what it’s really all about -seeing players develop, learn and grow in the game while having a blast on the football field, something all four league teams were able to do this season.

“It’s incredible to see somebody play football at the age of 10 and how much you can see them grow, no matter what you throw at them, and how quickly they learn and respond,” said Belsher, who is also the head coach of of the Central Cyclones. “I don’t really coach them all that different than I coach my high school team, so they get challenged every day and they rise to the occasion.”

The U14 playoffs were also in action on Saturday night, and to say the Moose Jaw Vikings had no difficulty with the conditions would be an understatement, as they rolled to a 70-6 victory over the Yorkton Gridders in their semifinal.

The other U14 semi saw the Weyburn Falcons take a 37-6 victory over the Swift Current Steelers in Weyburn.

Dominating first half leads to Central win in football third place game Cyclones build 45-0 lead, go on to 53-13 win over Swift Current Colts at Gutheridge Field Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Central Cyclones didn’t waste much time when it came to getting things going in the Rural 5A High School Football League third-place game on Saturday afternoon.

And once they were underway, there was no stopping them.

Javin Boynton returned to the line-up and scored on a 75-yard touchdown run on the first play of the game, Cole Breitkreuz had three majors in the first quarter and the Cyclones went on to a 53-13 victory over the Swift Current Colts at Gutheridge Field.

“This game was truly all about the seniors getting an opportunity,” said Cyclones head coach Colin Belsher. “It wasn’t the game we want to be in, but it’s still a game and it was a worthy opponent in Swift Current. I thought we had a great gameplan and having Javin back in the game, he’s been hurt and banged up, but to get him in and playing at that level gave us a boost.

“But in the end, it was great to see the Grade 12s get on the field and see the Grade 12s have some success. It’s always a sad time of the year, you work with these kids for four years straight and you hope to see them have success and move on and be

… and Cole Breitkreuz hauls in the catch for his first of three touchdowns in the game.

Central’s Wil Ansell fires a pass to the end zone… successful at the next level or in whatever they do.”

The contest was well in hand by the end of the first half. Boynton had 139 yards rushing and two majors, Breitkreuz seven catches for 142 yards and three touchdowns -- including a pick six -- and Central led 45-0 before the teams hit the break. Mason Payne (28-yard run) and Sam Barth (27-yard run) had their other first-half majors.

The fast start to the game and brilliant first quarter made all the difference in Breitkreuz’s eyes.

“That gives our team a lot of confidence, especially on offence,” he said.

“Once you get a play like (Boynton’s run) and start rolling, we can’t be stopped… big credit goes to the offensive line for opening up holes and blocking for us receivers to let us be able to catch those balls. And credit to the coaches too, for helping us be able to succeed on and off the field.”

Belsher lauded his senior receiver and his fellow Grade 12s for stepping up in the final game of their high school careers.

“When you have a great leader in Cole and a guy like (quarterback) Wil Ansell under centre, it brings a lot of confidence to the guys and I think Javin is a product of that, seeing the confidence in these older guys and helping them along the way,” Belsher said. “He’s a special talent and having the ability to score early like that took some of the pressure off the rest of them and let everyone go out and have fun and just do their thing.”

The Cyclones had a single major in the second half, that on a Kaedyn Banilevic 27-yard catch, and added a safety to close out their offence.

“It was amazing, coming out here and playing this last game with the seniors and the other guys, I can’t express how much it means, words can’t express how great it is,” Breitkreuz said. “Being a senior on this team is incredible, and leading those guys, it’s one of the greatest things I’ll ever take away and one of the greatest things in life.”

Ansell finished the game 15-for-25 passing for 269 yards and three majors.

Ty Zinger had an 11-yard touchdown run and Ryder Smith a 62-yard pass-andrun major in the second half for Swift Cur-

The game saw a special event before the contest as members of SkyDive South Sask parachuted onto Gutheridge Field with the Canadian flag prior to kick-off.

The three teams who didn’t finish in the top four were in action in a special jamboree style event under the lights and pouring rain at MacDonald Field on Friday night.

The Vanier Vikings went undefeated in their two mini-games, defeating the Peacock Tornadoes 22-6 and Estevan Elecs 18-6, while the Tornadoes defeated Estevan 20-6 in the other contest.

In the league championship game in Weyburn on Saturday afternoon, the Eagles capped off an unbeaten season with a 21-7 win over the Yorkton Raiders.

Weyburn will now represent the 5A Rural League in the provincial semifinal against the Saskatoon champion next weekend.

Froehlich takes over first place in Original 16 Cash League Two rinks pick up first wins of season as league play continues at Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Curling file Matt Froehlich didn’t need a whole lot of time to take over sole possession of first place in the Original 16 Cash League last Wednesday night at the Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre.

The perennial league contender got off to a fast start against Walchuk Masonry (Tyler Krupski), scoring four in the first end. He didn’t let up there, scoring another in the second and stealing three more in the third, prompting Krupski to call it an early night as Froehlich took an 8-0 victory.

Froehlich is now 3-0 on the second, while Krupski fell to 0-3.

Froehlich would have company at the top of the standings, but the contest between BTN Accountants (Penny Barker, 2-0) and KMS Construction (Ben Gamble, 2-0) was postponed due to Barker playing in the Olympic Pre-Trials.

John’s Music (Ryan Wenarchuk, 2-1) kept pace with the leaders with a 9-3 win over KalTire (Dustin Woloschuk, 1-2).

Wenarchuk took an end longer to get go-

ing compared to Froehlich, but had similar results: a four-spot in the second end, steal of two in the third and another steal in the fourth for a 7-1 lead. Woloschuk got two back in the fifth, but another Wenarchuk deuce would bring things to an early end.

Fonger Wealth Management (Nick Cornea, 1-2) picked up their first win in commanding fashion over EMJ Marketing (Joe Gunnis, 1-2). And sure enough, it was another early four-ender that did the damage, this one coming in the second end. A steal of two in the third made it 6-1, but Gunnis was able to get back into the game with three points over the next two ends to trail 6-4 at the break. Cornea finished things off right after, though, scoring three in the sixth for a 9-4 win.

The closest game on the night was between Motion-Golden Mobility (Lorraine Arguin, 1-2) and Pro-Tec Electric (Stan Barnsley, 1-2), with Arguin picking up a 7-5 victory for her first win. The two teams exchanged three enders to start the game, but an Arguin deuce in the fourth and steal in the fifth put her ahead 6-4 at the break.

An exchange of single points the next two ends maintained Arguin’s two-point lead and Barnsley would run out of rocks in the eighth.

Vanier, Central win high school soccer 4A provincial championships Spirits take 3-0 win over Central Cyclones in girls gold medal game in Yorkton, Central defeat Yorkton Sacred Heart to claim boys title Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Vanier soccer file In the Saskatchewan High School Athletic Association 4A high school girls soccer provincial championship, odds were in favour of the team that got hot at the right time, and it turns out, the Vanier Spirits were that team.

Vanier picked up a pair of upset victories at provincials in Martensville over the weekend to repeat as 4A girls champions, and this time they had some very, very familiar company along the way.

None other than the Central Cyclones, who also reached the gold medal final, but would fall 3-0 to the Spirits in the title game.

It was another impressive run to the title for Vanier, who are repeat champions after winning gold the last time provincials were held in 2019.

The 2020 tournament was cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic.

Vanier opened the tournament with a 1-0 win over second-seeded Regina Luther, while top-seeded Central won their semifinal game 2-0 over Se Se Wa Hum to create the all-Moose Jaw final.

The Spirits advanced to provincials with a 15-0 win over Peacock in a play-in game on Sept. 23 while Central received a bye into provincials as the top seed.

At the 5A girls championships in Prince Albert, the Moose Jaw city champion Swift Current Ardens won their opener 2-1 over Prince Albert Carlton, but lost in the semfinal 3-0 to Saskatoon Holy Cross before dropping the bronze medal game 2-1 to Warman.

-----When the Central Cyclones lost the Moose Jaw high school boys soccer league championship earlier this fall, coach Holly McCorriston mentioned that her crew might not have defeated their 5A opponents, but things would be different when they were playing schools their own size.

Oh, how right she was.

The Cyclones completed an utterly dominant showing through regionals and provincials with the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association 4A boys provincial championship on Saturday in Yorkton.

The second-seeded Cyclones capped

their title run with a 3-1 victory over the host Yorkton Sacred Heart Saints after rolling to a 4-0 win over Martensville in the semifinal on Friday. Yorkton upset the top-seeded North Battleford John Paul II Crusaders 2-1 in extra time in their semifinal.

The victory was especially heartening for the Central seniors, who saw their team finish second in both 2018 and 2019 before the 2020 championship was cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic.

Central advanced to provincials with a 5-1 win over Regina Luther and 2-0 victory over Regina Laval during regionals in Moose Jaw during the Sept. 23 weekend.

Seniors Fitness equipment for seniors installed at Crescent Park

By Natalie Lund - Moose Jaw Express

The long-awaited outdoor fitness equipment for seniors is now installed at Crescent Park.

The exercise equipment is ideal for seniors and adults to exercise while it gives them the option of watching their grandchildren or kids at the same time in Crescent Park Playground.

Due to COVID-19, the installation of the equipment was delayed and was just installed in October.

“I think it’s another really great asset to the playground area and another way for people to keep moving and get outside in the fresh air and its so important now as we see. It’s another great attribute to a park like this,” says Crystal Froese, City Counsellor.

Back in 2018, the Saskatchewan Seniors Fitness Association 55-plus (SSFA) presented a cheque with the amount of $8,819.86 to the city of Moose Jaw’s Parks and Recreation Department The pieces of equipment chosen are designed specifically for seniors from the funding that was raised. However, adults can also utilize it.

The new equipment targets upper body and legs and has two displays, as well as instructions on how to conduct the equipment properly.

Seniors who live in the general area of the park have new options such as peddling which is a great source of exercise for the legs and an upper body workout

to give the body some additional strength training.

“I think it’s really great, we have been waiting for [the equipment] for awhile; as many people have experienced COVID-19, it’s kind of slowed down the supply and demand for a lot of things so that’s what the delay was for. The money that was raised actually came from the Provincial SFA 55+ Provincial games that we did a few years back,” said Froese.

“The timing is perfect to incorporate the new exercise equipment outside.”

“It’s here to get people to be active.

Crescent Park, in particular, has about 12 seniors apartments and complexes all around it, so we know that it is a park that the seniors normally love to come to. We thought this would be a great way to incorporate having the grandchildren and kids play while the adults can get some exercise at the same time they are sitting and watching too, ” said Froese.

Korean War vet helped keep armoured vehicles in fighting shape Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Charlie Smith doesn’t consider his time during the Korean War that exciting, but his efforts ensured that Canada’s armoured vehicles were returned to fighting shape after engaging with the enemy — or falling into rice paddies.

Born near Davidson, Sask. in 1928, Smith was 22 when the Korean War started on June 25, 1950, after the North invaded the South.

Smith was working on a farm when he realized he would never get ahead in life performing that work. Luckily, it was an army advertisement — “See some of the world and learn a trade” — that piqued his interest and prompted him to enlist in 1950.

The farm boy eventually joined the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (RCEME) Corps as a heavy mechanic who looked after gas- and diesel-powered vehicles. He was given the rank of craftsman.

“I could have been a corporal, but that doesn’t pay,” said Smith, 93. “You don’t get pay for rank until you’re a sergeant.

And where I was, a sergeant wasn’t included in there in the ranks.”

Smith was sent to Kingston, Ont. to train for nearly two years. While that was a good experience, he and other soldiers didn’t attempt to make friends with the locals — or find girlfriends — since they knew their time there would be short.

The RCEME shipped out to Korea by boat in April 1952. The Corps was attached to the Royal Canadian Horse Artillery since it was believed the latter unit would move its weapons by tracked vehi-

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.

Masculinity is not a disease. It is vibrant, worthy, honorable, valuable, and necessary. The fact that masculinity needs to be defended is yet another testament to just how irrational and misguided our society has become.

Masculinity is defined as; a set of attributes, behaviors, and roles attributed to

Charlie Smith spends some time relaxing outside his tent in Korea in 1953.

Photo submitted cles. However, the engineers discovered that the artillery unit was moving its weapons using vehicles with tires.

Smith ended up about 40 kilometres north of Seoul near the border with the Communists. They remained in that area for the remainder of the war.

“The Chinese played games. They teased you (by firing artillery),” he said. “I didn’t see action. We were in the follow-up to show them that we were still there … . I did not shoot anybody. And wherever I went, they (mostly) didn’t shoot at me.”

While Smith had trained as a mechanic, he was given responsibilities to move equipment and vehicles. This included moving tanks and heavy trucks that broke down or became stuck.

Repairing vehicles and pulling them out of rice paddies were some of the duties that Charlie Smith performed during the Korean War. Photo submitted Many times, it wasn’t easy to move the vehicles since water-filled rice paddies surrounded the roads. Yet, anything wheeled or tracked had to stick to the main paths for fear of becoming stuck while driving off-road.

“I never got stuck,” Smith said proudly.

Smith was limited in travelling in Korea and didn’t associate with anyone but his comrades. Moreover, he couldn’t leave his vehicle even in friendly territory because the locals usually attempted to con the soldiers.

“You had to stay with your truck, or they’d steal everything off it,” he laughed.

“When you parked, somebody would slip up; they would want to ‘sell’ you a spare tire.”

Smith never met anyone famous in Korea, while he never joined guys who drank alcohol since he didn’t enjoy those beverages. This meant, however, that he was usually on call 24 hours a day.

One interesting experience he had was at Christmas. On Christmas Day, the officers served their men food as part of a long-standing tradition. However, the commanding officer of Smith’s unit was not pleased to perform this task and asked the staff sergeant how long it would take to send the crews out to search for disabled vehicles. Two minutes was the reply.

“Before a vehicle moved, it had to have a work order of what it was going to do. (The staff sergeant) said it wouldn’t be much of an emergency if you spent an hour looking for someone to sign a work order, so we had (the commanding officer) sign it for the full month,” said Smith.

Smith and his crew missed Christmas dinner since they spent the day looking for wrecks and broken-down vehicles.

The Korean War ended on July 27, 1953, with a truce between the Communists and the United Nations. Smith and the RCEME were shipped home in 1954 but stopped in Yokohama, Japan, by boat first. They were given two hours to exercise, while they also experienced Japanese culture and cuisine.

“That was a really nice experience,” he added.

Valuing Masculinity men and boys. The best way to describe masculinity is to give a short but far from complete list of synonyms associated with it; virility, vigor, strength, courage, ruggedness, toughness, robustness. Virtually all those characteristics are beneficial and positive.

So why then, if masculinity is replete with positive attributes, is it so maligned and vilified by our modern culture? The reason is simple yet seldom considered.

Masculinity has been beaten to death and berating it is a leftover derived from the feminist era. As a result, whenever a select few have used masculine traits inappropriately, the entire body of males have been painted with the same negative brush. In a word, poor behavior by a small group of males are singled out ad infinitum. Meanwhile, little to no attention is given to the positive actions of the majority of other masculine men.

It is a worn out pastime to deleteriously point to the few who use masculinity as a sword instead of a shield. Unfortunately, there are those who enjoy ramming those examples down our throats repeatedly

never missing the opportunity to shine a poisonous light on maleness as a whole.

Attacking a whole group of males, or any other group, for the sins of a few is unwarranted. Doing so is not only unjust, it is destructive to us all and is outright offensive.

This is when the critics of anything masculine jump in, screaming foul, and make an over-baked claim that only malebased traits are wicked. That is a wearisome, fallacious, and deceptive position that has been given far too much air-play.

Exceptions and extremes do not invalidate a fundamental truth. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with masculinity, even though it can be used negatively, any more than there is something fundamentally wrong with femininity when some feminine characteristics are used incorrectly.

All positive traits, both masculine and feminine, can be used in a negative way.

Two good examples are; a venerable masculine attribute such as ruggedness can lead to brutishness, in the same way sensitiveness, a highly esteemed feminine characteristic, can lead to being a drama-queen.

Both these extremes do not invalidate the

inherent goodness of the masculine and feminine trait itself.

Few would disagree that masculinity has been under direct attack over the past few decades. This has made us collectively weaker, more lonely, duller, defensive, and worst of all, divided. Both men and women have suffered from the excessive attack on masculinity.

The sooner masculinity begins to have its’ due once again, the better off society will be. As our world becomes increasingly unsafe, unstable, and dangerous, the strength of the masculine will be more and more in demand. Luckily, many are seeing-a-new the inherent qualities and value of it and are challenging the venomous critics who are more than willing to viciously attack anything that has a scent of maleness.

The words of Elisabeth Elliot is an enriching quote offered to those who experience their core masculinity being unduly criticized; “Stand true to your calling to be a man. Real women will always be relieved and grateful when men are willing to be men.”

SHA planning delivery of COVID-19 vaccinations for 5-11 yr olds

The Saskatchewan Health Authority is currently working to ensure plans are in place to deliver vaccinations to children five to 11 years old with an order for 112,000 doses of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine specially formulated for children expected to be delivered by mid-November 2021.

These vaccinations will be available at a wide variety of locations including participating pharmacies, SHA walk-in clinics, mobile clinics, at schools and at venues with easy community access near schools.

The Pfizer pediatric vaccine is a slightly different formulation with smaller doses of vaccine. The studies showed that expected vaccine side effects (such as soreness at the injection site, fatigue, headache, muscle aches and chills) were well tolerated and resolved in 1-2 days in children in this age group.

Vaccination is voluntary. Informed parental/guardian consent must be provided and will be documented in the child’s immunization record. Parents/guardians are able to access their child’s immunization record through MySaskHealthRecord.

A valid health card or personal identification will be requested for each individual getting tested.

Drop in testing will be expanding on November 6th to include Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Locations and hours of operation in Moose Jaw are:

Monday to Thursday: Drop-In testing from 9:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m.; appointments from 12:30 p.m.- 4:30 p.m.

Obituaries / Memorials KNIGHT , RICHARD WAYNE, aged 77 June 29th, 1944– October 20th, 2021 It is with heavy hearts that the family of Richard Knight of Cranbrook, BC, formerly of the Village of Mistusinne, (Elbow,SK) would like to announce his passing on Wednesday October 20, 2021 in Nanaimo, BC with his family by his side. Richard was born in Moose Jaw, SK to Mary and Ray Knight on June 29th,1944.

He resided in Moose Jaw for most of his childhood.

At age 16, he made a move with his Mom up to Fort Smith, NWT where his Dad (Ray) was working. Then at the age of 17, Richard made a move back to Moose Jaw with a few pit stops along the way. He began his career as a butcher (of which he always had the best cuts of meat!). He then met and married Joan Rouse in February 1966, and they had 2 daughters born to them, Dawn and Lisa. He retired in the mid 90’s to enjoy his time at his cabin and later, spent his winters on the Island in BC. His best-loved things to do were spending time at his cabin at Mistusinne at Lake Diefenbaker, where he spent his time boating, fishing, and riding his ATV with his grandsons —and always having the biggest bonfires. His cabin became his permanent home until he moved to Cranbrook, BC with his special love, Fay, where he resided for 3 years. Then in June 2021, Richard was diagnosed with lung and brain cancer, after which he made the decision to move to Nanaimo, BC in September to be closer to family and enjoy his last days in a place he so loved – Vancouver Island.

He is predeceased by his brother Dennis Knight, Mother Mary Knight, Father Ray Knight, sister Marjorie (Florence) Zimmerman, nephew Raymond Florence, special cousins Doug Davies and Doug Macdiarmid. He will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Dawn (Brian) Stone of Medicine Hat, AB, Daughter Lisa (Raven) Clark of Mill Bay, BC, Grandchildren; Blair (Maryann) Ector, Blake (Justine) Ector, Kayla (Chase) Marcotte, Scott Stone (Becky), and Great Grandchildren; Bryce and Aubrey Ector, Sister Betty (Harold) Cave, Sister Barb Knight, Cousin Ken (Yvette) Storozuk (who made many phone calls to Dad in his last few months); along with many cousins, nieces and nephews. There will be a memorial service announced in the Spring 2022 and held in Moose Jaw, SK.

LUTZ, DOROTHY W. Dorothy W. Lutz (nee Barber) passed away peacefully on October 16, 2021. Dorothy was born on May 8, 1929 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan to Ethel and Leslie Barber the middle of three children.

Dorothy was united in marriage with Richard Lutz 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.

Dorothy was a loving mother, sister, grandmother, great-grandmother and sister-in-law. She enjoyed square dancing, playing cards, daytime TV soap operas and was an active member of the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League for many years. She was a kind and gentle soul with a positive attitude and will be dearly missed.

Dorothy’s memory will be forever cherished by her son Ken (Sue) of Florida 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. She will also be dearly remembered by numerous nieces, nephews and extended family. She is predeceased by her husband Richard L Lutz, her parents Leslie and Ethel Barber, brother Joe (Audrey) Barber; sister Doreen (Len) Treiber; nephew Garth Barber and grandson Christopher Woloshen.

Following her 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 woman. In lieu of flowers, you can make a donation in Dorothy’s name to the Alzheimer’s Society of Alberta.

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

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

Murder This past summer, the US media was consumed by the drama involving Gabby Petito and Brian Laundrie.

The couple was making a cross country trip when Gabby’s body was found in northern Wyoming along the border of the Grand Teton National Park. Her boyfriend, Brian Laundrie, was under suspicion of causing her death. Later his body was discovered along a trail in the Florida wilderness. Recently Alec Baldwin was involved in a shooting on a movie set near Santa Fe, New Mexico. It seems that the shooting was accidental pending further investigation. Was it murder in either case?

The Book of Exodus records the command of God,

“You shall not murder.” Is murder different from “killing?” Does the ordinance forbid any killing or just murder.

The Hebrew word used in Exodus is ratsakh, which implies a killing with intent. Most Bible translations use the word “murder” in Exodus 20:13. The essential meaning of murder is “the crime of deliberately killing a person.” The Canadian criminal code attaches the words “means to cause death” to murder. Was Gabby Petito murdered? We may never know for sure. Could Alex Baldwin or some other person connected to the props used on the set, be convicted of murder in the death of Halyna Hutchins? Time will tell.

The Book of Numbers gives this direction to the people of Israel, “If anyone kills a person, the murderer shall be put to death on the evidence of witnesses. But no person shall be put to death on the testimony of one witness.”

If intent to kill can be ascertained, then the death penalty can be enacted upon the murderer, if there is more than one witness to the killing. On the evidence of one witness the death penalty is not used but the person could still be convicted of murder and suffer appropriate penalties. That was the ancient Hebrew legal system.

One Hebrew word for “kill” is hawrag. This word is used in the sense of killing animals, killing in the context of war, and killing resulting from God’s judgement.

It implies a violent destruction. Another Hebrew word for “kill” is nakah. This includes the concept of striking or slaying by hitting. There are a number of Hebrew words for the English concept of killing but it is not easy to point to specific differences, although all the words have their own nuances.

An example is the story of Cain killing Abel in Genesis chapter 4. In the New Testament 1 John comments,

Copying Services

“We should not be like Cain, who was of the evil one and murdered his brother.” I would categorize Cain’s actions as murder. Yet the Genesis author uses the verb hawrag and not ratsakh. To make a distinction, as some Christians are apt to do, between murder and killing in Old Testament passages, is not a simple matter. The commandment, “You shall not murder,” was not meant to be limited to killing with intent only.

We are to consider deeper meanings in the mandates of Exodus 20. As Jesus said, “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire. So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.” (Matthew 5:21-24) The commandments are meant to have us examine the actions of our own lives and not just provide restrictions upon society for legal purposes.

We should not hurt nor harm others, but help and support them. That gets to the essence of, “You shall not murder.”

Addendum: We use the word murder in other ways also. Traffic was murder today. Meaning something very difficult or dangerous. She always seems to get away with murder. Meaning something outrageous or blameworthy.

A group of crows is called a murder. Could it be because the appearance of crows has been considered an omen of death? Likely, as the phrases “a knot of frogs, and a skulk of foxes,” it was just picked as a colourful and poetic name for crows.

funding for capital improvements.

The City does provide a small grant to help operate the Burrowing Owl Centre.

The capital repairs are not being made to target one certain area or activity as all projects benefit all of the Exhibition’s various activities.

Not holding the Moose Jaw Hometown Fair the past two years due to the COVID - 19 pandemic had no effect on the capital budget and capital repairs are not being targeted towards the Fair which is still a go in 2022.

“They (asphalt repairs) would be more out of need than any particular event, they benefit every event,” Fowler said.

“We have done a good job keeping up with capital projects,” he said.

In 2022 the Exhibition’s proposed $350,000 capital budget includes $150,000 for asphalt repairs with an additional $25,000 dedicated to an area west of the maintenance shop.

“We do as much capital repairs each year as we can,” Fowler said.

At their November monthly meeting the Exhibition Company’s board will discuss their $1.2 - $1.3 million operating budget.
