The passion of the founders for their product is obvious. Zwarich goes through each step of the brewing process, with many asides to explain some of the chemistry involved. The maltiness has to be balanced with the hops; the brew must be inoculated to prevent wild yeasts and bacterias from colonizing it; colour is a factor; sured and targeted, and the carbonation at the end of the process depends heavily on what style of beer they’re aiming for.

Insurance broker Mike McRitchie to retire after 42 years in the business Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

After more than four decades of helping people secure insurance for their home, vehicle or farm, Mike McRitchie has decided to call it a career.

McRitchie, 62, has worked in the insurance world for 42 years. He originally began at Ottawa Real Estate and Insurance in 1980 before taking over McCauley Agencies in 1989. Now, he is set to pass the company’s reins to his relative, Derek, who owns Ottawa Real Estate.

Stepping away from full-time work will allow McRitchie to spend more time with his family and attend more of his grandchildren’s sporting activities. He will also be able to tinker more in his garage.

With a chuckle, he said he was unsure when his last day would be. He is still going through the transitional period of handing over the business and ensuring that the “I wanted to see the business transition to remain locally owned and operated versus some of the larger conglomerates that are starting to move in. So that was extremely important to me,” said McRitchie, adding he’s had a great career and interacted with many great people but thought it was time to pass the torch.

It’s a bonus that Derek — a family member — is buying the business since he wants to maintain the two locations. The goal is to keep one business downtown

and eventually construct a new building on Thatcher Drive.

“It’s interesting. I’m old and tired and he’s young and ambitious,” McRitchie laughed.

McRitchie began working in construction in the 1970s with the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool. However, he didn’t think it was safe and realized he didn’t want to perform this work forever. So, he moved into the insurance industry at age 20 in 1980.

Nine years later, he decided to own a brokerage and bought McCauley Agencies.

“I prefer to control my own destiny and go from there. It requires a lot of time and a lot of work, there’s no doubt about that. I work very long hours,” he said, noting he regularly goes to work at 5:30 a.m. to handle accounting.

“I just feel that as a broker owner, you should know all aspects of your operation, as any business owner should, really.

You’re a better manager if you know all aspects of it.”

McRitchie enjoyed working with his clients over the decades and helping them acquire insurance or supporting them

He saw many changes in the industry during his 42 years, but the biggest one was the introduction of automation. With a chuckle, he noted that a typewriter was considered automation decades ago. Now, technology handles almost everything,

which allows him to spend more time with customers.

McRitchie added that he was thankful to the clients and staff he interacted with

The Moose Jaw Kinsmen Club was recognized as 2020’s Group of the Year for their hundreds of hours of volunteer work.

That work included the Kinsmen Santa Claus Parade, which they adapted for the pandemic. The parade wound through the streets of Moose Jaw for several days, included participation from the police and in the cold to watch with their children, and collected thousands of pounds of food for Moose Jaw and District Food Bank.

It is always impressive to see the individuals nominated for Citizen of the Year who have invested their time, money and efforts into the community by their volunteerism and contributions on boards or initiatives to the betterment of Moose Jaw. They certainly are special people with a genuine love for the community.

So many individuals do so Joan Ritchie much, and often under the radar EDITOR until someone steps up to nominate them for the Citizen of the Year award.

Nominations this year are being accepted until January 22nd so if you know of that certain someone that meets the criteria please nominate them. The theme this year is “Act of Kindness” and all the criteria for nominating is included in the article in this edition on page A3.

Nominations can be submitted at www.mjchamber. com/citizen-group-of[1]the-year/.

———— It is nice to see that the City of Moose Jaw is taking the homeless situation to heart and working towards a solution to meet the needs, especially during our cold winter months. We will continue to check into the situation and keep the community abreast of the matter at hand. Unfortunately, the problem is a complex one and will probably take some time to iron out here in the Friendly City.

———— It’s rather funny to see the random callers that call the Saskatchewan RCMP for assistance, but really not that funny when it takes their time away from tending to real issues of importance. The RCMP article can be read on page A13.

I can’t believe individuals of all ages can be so negligible as to think that their problem-calls that were cited were at all a matter-of-concern. Seriously folks! The RCMP want to remind the public that misuse of 9-1-1 can potentially delay someone experiencing a life-threatening emergency from getting help. Before dialing 9-1-1, please remember that calling the police should be reserved for police-related matters only and calling 9-1-1 should be reserved for life-threatening emergencies only. If you have a crime to report, please do so by calling your local RCMP detachment or by calling 310-RCMP from anywhere in the province.

———— As one of the most popular events of the year, we are thrilled to see that the Kinsmen Sports Celebrity Banquet is still a-go, although the date has been moved up to April.

Moose Jaw seems to be sports central with so much going on and so many sports’ enthusiasts. The banquet is but it is also such a nice social event with lots of great entertainment focused around celebrities with all the banter going on. Read about it on page A1.

Cultural Centre still hopeful for future performances despite recent cancellations Jason G. Antonio Moose Jaw Express

While a resurgence of COVID-19 has forced the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre to cancel several events in January, executive director Derik Cronan believes that future performances will still go ahead.

Music Row at the Mae, a production that River Street Promotions organized and that would have feature acts from the United States, was set for Friday, Jan. 28 but has been postponed to a later date. Anyone who purchased tickets will be refunded in the original payment method.

Meanwhile, the Cultural Centre and the Festival of Words had scheduled folk singer Dayna Manning for Jan. Theatre. However, they have postponed those acts and are “Your tickets will simply be applied to the new event date once we have them,” the cultural centre said on its Facebook page.

Cancellations of performances have occurred regularly during the pandemic and more often than liked, Cronan told the Moose Jaw Express. The entertainment industry relies heavily on tours that travel through an area, making it easier for smaller venues to book acts at lower fees.

“Just with a lower budget, we often don’t have a budcosts of those shows,” he said. “But also, if other provinces have restrictions in place, it can cause an impact on the shows we’re doing here if they were part of a tour.”

The Cultural Centre has taken every opportunity during the pandemic to bring in performers when possible, Cronan continued. in March 2020, the venue reopened in July and hosted a few performers before restrictions forced it to close again.

With a chuckle, Cronan noted that the Cultural Centre must continue moving forward by providing a stage for performers and acts for ticket holders.

“For most of our shows that we’ve had, we’ve attempted to reschedule them as soon as possible … ,” he continued, pointing out that Saskatchewan has few restrictions while other provinces have more. “We just keep on plugging away and keep on trying to get performances in when we can.”

The Cultural Centre has several shows in the coming months, including the fall 2022 and spring 2023. Cronan directed people to the venue’s website at www.moosejawculture.ca for the full schedule.

“We’re hopeful that the majority of them will go ahead,” he added.

While the pandemic has eliminated January’s performances, February’s schedule appears to be still intact.

This includes the appearance of award-winning actor and comedian Shaun Majumder on Feb. 9 for his “The LOVE Tour,” concert pianist Sarah Hagen on Feb. 10 for her “Perk Up, Pianist!” tour, the “Snowed In Comedy Tour” on Feb. 24 and “An Evening with Vivek Shraya” on Feb. The full schedule can be found at www.moosejawculture.ca.

Moose Jaw’s Partners against Violence Committee brings together a number of local service agencies, as well as local RCMP and Moose Jaw Police to work towards building a safer community for all.

The Relationship between Violence and Social Determinants of Health are outside of the health care system?

These factors are known as the Social DetermiHealth Organization as the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. Examples of these factors include income, education, employment status, our physical environments, the quality of our experiences when we are children, social supports, housing, gender, culture and race.

Research indicates that all forms of violence are strongly patterned by social determinants such as economic, social and gender inequalities; lack of occupational and educational opportunities; ease of access

and norms and values that shape the acceptability of violence. In turn, high levels of violence can themselves amplify these social determinants in a vicious circle. Although violence occurs across the socioeconomic continuum—the risks of exposure to violence are greatest for people in the most socioeconomically disadvantaged groups and communities.

Work to address poor socio-economic circumstances and reduce instances of violence in our community is part of the mission of Moose Jaw & District’s Partners Against Violence Committee. This committee takes a collaborative approach, advocating for strategies to reduce violence which encompass not just the individual, but the individual within the context of the family, the community, and larger society.

Agrimart: Club Root Map Shows Increase in Northern Parts of the Province AGRIMART

Employees with Prairie South School Division were absent 2,304 days in 2020-21 due to COVID-19, which equalled 2.1 average days per employee, new data says.

Teachers were absent 845.3 days for being a close contact, were absent 337 days for quarantine because of symptoms and were absent 62.7 days for special vaccination leave, according to the 2020-21 human resources report presented during the recent board meeting. Therefore, teachers spent 1,245 total days away from work due to the coronavirus, which averaged 2.8 days per educator.

Meanwhile, CUPE staff were absent 430.3 days for being a close contact, absent 424.8 days due to quarantine leave, and absent 28.8 days for vaccination leave. This totals 883.9 days away, or an average of 3.3 days per employee.

Furthermore, bus drivers were absent 47.5 days due to close contact, were absent 59 days due to quarantine leave and were absent 0.5 days for special vaccination leave. This totals 107 days away due to COVID-19, or an average of 1.3 days per employee.

Also, out-of-scope staff were absent 48 days because

of being a close contact, were absent 18 days for quarantine leave and were absent 2.1 days for vaccination leave.

This totals 68.1 days absent, or an average of 1.1 days per employee.

The total number of absences for all teachers in 202021 — whether division-directed, due to collective agreements or legislated, illness, or medical and dental — was 8,036.06 days.

The total number of absences for CUPE employees, out-of-scope staff and bus drivers — for the same reasons as teachers — was 5,048.56 days.

Staff composition There were 921.05 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees in Prairie South as of Sept. 30, 2020, while there was a total of 1,273 staff — including substitutes and casuals — working, said Amy Johnson, superintendent of human resources. The total number of staff ebbed and

plimentary services (pre-kindergarten and nutrition programming) at one per cent.

Demographics During the 2020-21 year, there were 129 employees between the ages of 18 to 29, data showed. Furthermore, there were 217 employees between 30 and 39; 283 staff between ages 40 and 49, 271 employees between 50 and 59; 96 staff between ages 60-69; and 11 employees between ages 70 and 79.

Eighteen teachers and 25 support staff retired last year, while 21 educators and 26 support staff resigned, Johnson said.

Meanwhile, 42 teachers took 89 courses to upgrade $106,661.64. Meanwhile, 20 support staff pursued 45 courses to enhance their skills, for a total reimbursement cost of $27,112.

Divisional discipline

to 1,450 total employees in the division. warnings to two teachers in 2020-21, while it issued simcategory within Prairie South’s budget at 75 per cent, Johnson said. In the 2020-21 year, there were $67.8 milper cent of the budget or $44.4 million, while salaries for support staff were 10 per cent of the budget or $9.2 million.

Staff in plant operations and maintenance comprised per cent, external services (high school concessions) at three per cent, administration at two per cent and com-

showed. Furthermore, the division issued letters of discipline — a warning or reprimand — to four support staff, staff.

Zero disputes were submitted to the teachers’ federaeither resolved or withdrawn. Also, one case was referred to arbitration, mediation or the labour board. That case — from 2019-20 — will be heard this year.

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express The president of the Saskatchewan School Boards Association (SSBA) says that the issue over whether students should return to school while COVID-19 cases are increasing has been “blown out of proportion.”

Education Minister Dustin Duncan said on Jan. 5 that his ministry had consulted with the SSBA — which represents all 27 school divisions — and found there was no interest to delay the start of school. However, SSBA president Shawn Davidson later said he was not informed that a school delay was on the table.

This apparent contradiction prompted the Opposition Saskatchewan NDP to call for Duncan’s resignation, pointing out that there was no coherent return-to-school plan and a lack of communication with the education sector.

Davidson, a trustee with Prairie South School Division, addressed the issue during the Jan. 11 board of ed-

ucation meeting. “(Duncan) didn’t actively consult school divisions about the extension of the Christmas break, but that being said, we never actually lobbied for an extension to the Christmas break,” said Davidson. “In fact, most of the in a couple of extra days tacked onto the Christmas break.

So we went back to school as planned ... .

“We didn’t really wade into that debate one way or another. So from my perspective, it’s really a nothing story that has been blown out of proportion. Because essentially … it’s really just a lot of semantics and words being thrown around,” he added.

“They’re trying to shape their narrative and I don’t think there’s really anything there.”

While Davidson thought this issue was overblown, one issue that he knew was problematic among school

divisions was contact tracing. The province is forcing schools to follow up with students and staff who either had COVID-19 or were in contact with people who had it.

This was causing additional administrative burdens.

“We’ve been lobbying for some renewed assistance from (the Ministry of) Health to get that work done because that really is health’s work and not education,” he said.

The SSBA will continue to raise awareness around the provincial government’s investment into pandemic funding and how school divisions have now largely spent that funding, Davidson continued. There have been additional costs in this area and school divisions “have been left holding the bag.”

The SSBA president added that absenteeism of staff and students from schools because they supposedly have the virus is also causing challenges for divisions.

event disrupts its regular revenue stream.

The line of credit is through Scotiabank, but since pired on Dec. 31, 2021, trustees needed to renew the line of credit in the short-term, business superintendent Ron Purdy said during the recent board of education meeting.

However, the good news is that a new agreement with Scotiabank has been reached.

“The chances of us using that (line of credit) are very slim unless something really disastrous happened. It’s just a risk management thing you do in case something did happen and you needed it,” he said.

While Prairie South has not accessed its line of credit for several years, having it in place ensures that the school division can run smoothly if revenue from the provincial government is ever interrupted, Purdy added.

Trustees then voted to approve the borrowing resolution for the line of credit for 2022.

Disposal of records Also, during the board meeting, trustees agreed to dispose of school records that did not need to be retained by having the documents shredded.

A board policy states that records must be retained ing records retention and disposal schedule and as directed by the Education Act, 1995, The Local Government Election Act and The Archives Act, Purdy said.

The Local Authority and Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act also requires school divi-

sions to dispose of records with personal information after the information is no longer needed.

Prairie South will dispose of the following records as part of this purge: born in 1996; the data only needs to be retained until students turn 25 years old the 1995-96 year; the data only needs to be retained until youths turn 25 · Peacock attendance data from 2015 to 2018; the data only needs to be retained for one year since attendance · Peacock graduation programs and letters from 2014 to 2018 · Peacock invoices from the 2010-11 school year; the data only need to be retained for three years · Peacock student summaries from 1982 to 1984; the data only needs to be retained until youths turn 25 tions for 1969, 1972, 1973, 1975 to 1981, and 1994 to 2002; this data only needs to be kept until students turn 25 · Peacock nutrition program info for 2009-10, 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2018-19; this data only needs to be retained for three years employment before 2019; that data only needs to be kept for three years

Local unemployment rate declines to 6.3 per cent

By Ron Walter - For Moose Jaw Express

Three hundred fewer people were unemployed in the Swift Current/Moose Jaw labour region at Dec. 30 than one year before, according to the Statistics Canada labour force survey.

The unemployment rate for the region fell to 6.3 per cent from 6.7 per cent.

While the number of unemployed was reduced so was the labour force. The labour force declined to 53,900 from 55,600 at the end of 2021.

The 1,700 person reduction in labour force was caused by retirements, moving

away or people no longer looking for a job.

The Swift Current/Moose Jaw labour region posted the highest unemployment Lowest unemployment rate was 4.4 per cent in Yorkton/Melville; followed

by Regina/Moose Mountain, 4.6 per cent; Saskatoon/Biggar, 5 per cent, and Prince Albert northern, 5.1 per cent.

Saskatchewan was one of two provinces with a gain in employed people and had a 5.7 per cent unemployment rate, down from 8.7 the year previous.

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express municipality says this would set a future precedent for similar agreements.

Victor and Susan Salzsauler spoke to city council during the Jan. 10 regular meeting and asked for a revision to their tax exemption agreement under the city’s replacement housing incentive program (RHIP) for 1029 Oxford Street East.

Council, however, denied their request by voting 6-0 himself from the vote.

COUNCIL NOTES

Changes to bylaw adds almost $50 more to water and sewer bills Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Taxpayers will soon fork over almost $50 more in 2022 on their water and sewer utility bills as city combined six-per-cent increase.

Council gave three unanimous readings to the utility bylaw during the Jan. 10 regular meeting and approved the changes. This means, starting Feb. 1, residents will pay an extra $45.12 per year or $3.76 per month on their water and sewer utility bills.

The increase in each utility is three per cent, based on what council approved during 2022 budget discussions.

Some of the highlights of the amended water and sewer utilities include: · Connection fee for permanent hook-up: $45 · Deposit for permanent hook-up: $140 · In-town consumers supplied with drinking water through a metered service connection: $1.4660 per cubic meter · Out-of-town consumers: $3.2985 per cubic meter · 15 Wing Canadian Forces Base Moose Jaw: $2.1991 per cubic meter · SaskWater: $2.7488 per cubic meter · Consumers receiving water from the city’s water dispensing devices: $4.2613 per cubic meter · Connection fee for temporary water service: $100 · Deposit for temporary water service: $300 · In-town consumers using sewage services: $1.5309 per cubic meter · Deposit for water meter testing: $50 · Call-out fee for attendance after regular working hours $85

Council approved the following appointments during the meeting: Coun. Crystal Froese has been appointed to the cultural diversity advisory committee, the heritage advisory committee, the south-central transportation committee, Wakamow Valley Authority and the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre Coun. Kim Robinson was appointed to the parks, recreation and facilities advisory committee, Tourism Moose Jaw, and the investment committee Coun. Jamey Logan was appointed to the public works, infrastructure and environment advisory committee, the special needs advisory committee, and the Moose Jaw Humane Society Mayor Clive Tolley has been appointed to the youth advisory committee, the investment committee, the Moose Jaw Public Library board, the Board of Police Commissioners and the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport Authority Coun. Heather Eby was appointed to the public library board, the Palliser Regional Library board, and the

community-based coalition of Moose Jaw Coun. Doug Blanc has been appointed to the museum and art gallery committee, the exhibition board and the police board Coun. Dawn Luhning was appointed to the investment committee, the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association as a council rep, the police board and the Downtown Moose Jaw Association Eby was appointed to the murals project management committee, but that has been held in abeyance until the public art committee is established and takes over the responsibilities of the murals committee.

The mayor is automatically appointed to the public library board, the board of police commissioners and the airport authority based on sections in the acts that govern those bodies.

Terms for most committees begin Jan. 10 and end on Dec. 31.

However, the mayor’s appointment to the youth advisory committee ends on June 30, while his term on the investment committee ends on Nov. 30, 2024. Meanwhile, Luhning’s and Robinson’s terms on the investment committee also end on Nov. 30, 2024, while Luhning’s term as SUMA representative ends on Nov. 30, 2024.

Yara Centre’s heat problems forcing track users to wear parkas Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Residents who take early morning walks at Yara Centre will have to continue bundling up when using the track because the venue usually keeps the heat low to save money.

Coun. Doug Blanc raised the issue of cold mornings at the recreation venue during the Jan. 10 regular council meeting. Several residents who walk the track at 7 a.m. had contacted him recently about how “extremely cold” the building was in the mornings since the heat is turned down at night.

“We’ve had some terrible conditions out there, but even prior to that, they were walking with parkas on and not enjoying it, so they’re not going. I understand that when it’s 40 (degrees Celsius) below, it might be really hard,” said Blanc.

The councillor wondered if the city turned down the heat at night. He pointed out that Yara Centre is a big building and takes time to recover the heat. He thought the heat should be left on continually, especially since customers were refusing to use the building.

City manager Jim Puffalt said he would speak with the parks and recreation department about this situation.

However, he pointed out that the city takes every advantage to reduce the heat to save money. He joked that it also becomes chilly working at city hall late at night.

During a post-meeting media scrum, Puffalt said there were cost-savings to reducing the heat each eve-

ning at Yara Centre, although he didn’t have exact savings numbers on hand. He noted that energy conservation strategies suggest turning down the heat and lights when not using a room or building.

“I’m just speculating, but it may have been with minus 30 (-degree Celsius temperatures) and minus 50 (Celsius) windchills, that the temperature that works normally at minus 20 (Celsius) wasn’t enough to handle that in the morning,” he said. “I suspect that might have been part of the issue … .”

Yara Centre’s heat is governed by automatic systems that are preprogrammed, so if the heat needs to increase by 4 a.m., then building staff can set the thermostat ahead of time, Puffalt added. However, he reiterated that the severe cold during the past few weeks likely affected the inside temperature more than usual.

In an email to MooseJawToday.com, city hall explained that the air handling units (AHUs) froze up during the Jan. 7 to 9 weekend, which resulted in colder temps temperatures are back to normal.

“This is a pretty common occurrence when there are high wind chills, as the AHUs are in an open area on the ground,” city hall added. “Normally the temperature for range.”

Those wanting to enter the slam should record a video of themselves reciting an original poem about the planet.

It should include an Earth Day theme.

Participants can win one of several prizexpenses and three tickets for the Home exhibit gala – to present alongside Halfe.

Complete details for how to compete are at royalsaskmuseum.ca/poetry-slam.

The deadline is March 15. The winner will be announced on April 11.

Louise Bernice Halfe, also known by her Cree name, Sky Dancer, became Canada’s Parliamentary Poet Laureate in Janhas a background in social work and has published several acclaimed and awarded books of poetry. She previously served as Saskatchewan’s second poet laureate.

The “Earth Day Poetry Slam Contest” will be part of the opening of a new gallery at RSM titled Home: Life in the Anthropocene.

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com Anthropocene is the name given to the geological age of measurable human impact on Earth’s geology, ecosystems, and climate. There is still debate as to whether the human age started with agriculture, when enormous sections of the planet’s surface began to be transformed into farmland, or with the Industrial Revolution, when we began literally moving mountains with our machines. If it did not start at those times, it certainly started with atomic bomb experiments, the residues of which will linger for millions of years.

Glenn Sutter, curator of human ecology at the museum, and the curator of Home, said “It’s going to be pretty impactful on the way we talk about global issues.

There’s a natural history element to it, and we’re looking at personal creativity and how it can help people connect to nature, especially through music.”

Sutter emphasized that while Home will have information on global issues, it zeroes in on Saskatchewan as well. It will feature all of the species that are at risk in the province, and showcase the size and extent of industries like agriculture and forestry. “We have a three-dimensional way to show how big and complex these issues are.”

Sutter added that he hopes visitors will walk away with an increased awareness of the issues, an appreciation for the research that went into creating the exhibit, a sense of how they are personally affected, and an idea of how they make an individual difference.

Reflective Moments

The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author, and do position of this publication.

It is reassuring to learn that I am not alone in my anxiousness relating to driving in wintery months, with snow on the ground and ice at the intersections.

As a youth I was fearless, able to gun the motor and charge through a snowbank with little fear or acknowledgement that I might just get stuck halfway through.

A group of us often stormed the grid roads, heading here and there, thinking litle about the depth of the snow in the ditches nor whether we might freeze to death if we soared into those snowbanks. Of course the parents were told we stuck to well-travelled paths and journeyed in convoys, just in case trouble met us over the next hill. I suspect they knew the truth.

Winter of my youth meant outdoor skating and hockey at recess, noon hour, after school and in the evenings, under the lights, watching teams pass, shoot and score.

I’m not sure when it happened, but suddenly I was no longer keen to do outside activities in the snow. A snowmobile ride on a swaying sled-runner no longer held any appeal. Nor did driving on highways that were listed ready to stay indoors, cancel out-of-city appointments and watch the snow accumulate on the street and in the driveway.

And who believes the four-day weather forecast?

The trip to Brandon for a convention was smooth sailing.

The trip home was not so delightful, thus leading us to take the Greyhound Bus to and from the next gathering in Manitoba. The bus option no longer exists which means if we had to venture east, it would be with someone else driving while I navigate under several blankets from the back seat.

A conversation the other day with some folks of my age and perhaps a bit younger set my mind at ease. I have company when it comes to the dread of winter driving.

We comfortably shared our concerns about our loss of adventurous courage, telling a story or two about our exploits behind the wheel when we were younger and not as conscious of the dangers out there.

Our chat brought to mind the CAA survey that asked

Canadians to rate driving behaviours viewed as serious threats. Topping the list was people driving after drinking alcohol or using illegal drugs. That was followed by drivers running red lights, driving aggressively, drivers using their phones or being sleepy behind the wheel. but if we were afraid of those drivers during three seaer-aware. And that is a good thing.

My top concern is with drivers who don’t stop for red lights or STOP signs. After being smacked into by another driver who didn’t stop for a red light, I am uber-aware of what’s happening at those intersections. Will the driver stop at his/her red light? Will the STOP sign be obeyed?

Does the other driver know I have the right-of-way at the four-way stop and does he/she care?

Those anxieties are heightened in winter so it is likely safer for me if I stay home to avoid those many opportunities for winter driving to live up my pessimistic outlook.

When Housemate wonders why I don’t immediately hurry through the green light, it is simply because I when it shouldn’t. I’d hate to be in the danger zone. And I’m happy I’m not alone in my caution.

Saskatchewan could have a small, modular nuclear future

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Small modular reactors (SMRs) could be the future of clean energy. SaskPower is exploring the possibility of bringing SMRs to the province by the early 2030s.

MooseJawToday.com spoke with Doug Opseth, SaskPower’s director of generation asset management and planning, about how SaskPower is evaluating a possible nuclear future.

“It’s a really unique time in the development of SMRs because there is a wide variety of different types of designs out there,” Opseth said. “The designs that we’ve tended to focus on are in the 300-megawatt range.”

SaskPower carried out a joint evaluation process with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and Bruce Power and NB Power in New Brunswick at the request of the provincial governments of Saskatchewan, Ontario, and New Brunswick, respectively. Three design companies were shortlisted for further assessment: X Energy is developing an 80MW design that is scalable to 320MW GE’s Hitachi design is 300MW Terrestrial Energy’s SMR design could generate 195MW “The GE Hitachi is a more traditional boiling-water reactor,” Opseth explained. The other two are more advanced reactors. “In the case of the X Energy, that’s a high-temperature gas-cooled reactor, and then the Terrestrial Energy design is an integrated molten salt reactor.

Two interesting designs, and probably considered some

of the more advanced reactor designs being looked at in the world right now.”

Nuclear energy is completely clean in terms of emissions. Opseth said Saskatchewan needs zero-emission baseload generating options, especially with the 2050 goal of net-zero emissions. Solar and wind are becoming more and more viable, but both are dependent on weather power.

“One of the challenges that was always inherent with nuclear power when we’ve looked in the past was that the reactors were just so large, far too large to be integrated here in Saskatchewan,” Opseth said.

The advantage of SMRs is that they don’t need a unique site design. Traditional nuclear power plants are

“If you start developing a new generation option, such as SMRs, there’s going to be lots of side industries that will need to be developed here in Saskatchewan, to help support a nuclear business. That’s one of the things that’s also very attractive.”

Opseth said Europe and the US are moving forward with SMR technology. “In the United States, there are a lot of SMRs that are proceeding down that path to construction.” With that kind of production and manufacturing capacity being developed, SMRs could become ever more viable.

design can’t be standardized, so parts can’t be mass-produced. That usually leads to overruns in both timeline and cost.

SMRs have a small footprint, standardized parts, and a modular design that would allow for SaskPower to scale the size of the plant to what the local grid needs. The mentation. Personnel wouldn’t have to train for years on The longest section of an SMR timeline is the regulatory one. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission is still developing SMR regulations. SaskPower is in year two of its planning process. That process will conclude somewhere in the 2028-29 range with a decision on whether to begin construction. If construction started in 2029, 2033.

The economy would receive a boost from any investment, as well.

Nuclear power could be the perfect complement to renewables. power source in the world. With zero emissions, its only by-products are water vapour and a relatively negligible amount of waste - waste that is increasingly easy to recycle or store (Sylvain Sonnet/ The Image Bank/Getty Images)

2022 Winter Gaming Expo still set for February despite pandemic worries Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Despite the uncertainties around provincial pandemic restrictions, the Moose Jaw Gamers Association is still proceeding at full steam ahead with its winter gaming convention.

The association (MJGA) is teaming up with the SaskTel Pioneers to present the 2022 Winter Gaming Expo — better known as GAX — from Friday, Feb. 4 to Sunday, Feb. 6 at the Moose Jaw Cultural 2020 Winter GAX that the association has held an in-person gaming get-together.

A weekend pass is $20. If people pre-register on the association website at www. mjga.ca, they will be entered to win a $50 gift card. The weekend pass also includes a free pizza party on Saturday night.

“It’s very important (to proceed). … we’re

super excited to get back out there and to continue to raise funds for children’s charities,” said MJGA president Kristian Sjoberg. “We’ve all been locked away in our houses and basements long enough that we’re kind of excited to have another event happen here.”

This year the gamers association is raising funds for Creative Kids Saskatchewan, which provides grants to kids interested in the arts.

The 2022 Winter GAX could be pegged as bigger and better than ever, especially since the MJGA has brought in some new features.

The association has struck a partnership with Seattle-based Zombie Orpheus Entertainment (ZOE), which produces schlocky B-movies. MJGA has secured every mov-

SOLO electric vehicle targets single passenger/ delivery market A Canadian company plans to grab a share of the American electric vehicle market with a unique single passenger model.

Electra-Mechanica Vehicles Corp. of Vancouver started selling the SOLO car last fall with 42 delivered to the California market by December.

The SOLO car targets three distinct parts of the EV market: urban commuters, small cargo deliveries and ride-sharing such as taxis and work place use.

The urban commuter market seems to be the best bet with 76 per cent of urban commuters driving to work alone and not needing a larger over-built vehicle. The SOLO seems a likely second car for a family where one member uses the car mainly to go back and forth to work and for errands like shopping for groceries.

The car should appeal to small businesses, especially restaurants, wanting to deliver product on their own to customers.

The SOLO car has all the bells and whistles buyers are accustomed to such as electronic power steering, heated seats, air conditioning and back-up cameras. comparison of cost and operating costs prepared by the company indicates a $37,000 plus costs for SOLO with four comparable cars ranging from $52,000 to $71,000.

Operating costs differences come depreciation charges.

Retail price is $18,500 U.S. reduced by not needing an over-built power train feet.

SOLO is manufactured in partnership with Zongshen Industrial Group, one of the world’s largest makers of two and three wheeled vehicles, based in China.

An Arizona plant of 235,000 square feet will open this summer in Mesa providing the company with capacity to produce 40,000 cars a year.

The SOLO is light weight at 1,770 pounds, 112 inches long and 64 inches wide.

Initial marketing via kiosk locations will target California and Oregon with eventual plans to move into the rest of North America, Asia and Europe.

Electra-Mechanica has $220 million selling more shares and carries no debt.

Ownership by directors and inside investors amounts to about 16 per cent of the shares. Zongshen owns another 3.4 per cent of shares.

With a current $2.23 U.S. price of the Nasdaq exchange, the company is valued around $250 million – clearly a speculative investment considering sales are near zero to date.

The SOLO car is an interesting story worth following and possibly worth inlished.

Expect that the company, if successful, will be acquired by one of the larger EV manufacturers. EV companies are popping up like mushrooms after a rain comparable to the explosion of car manufacturers in the early 1900s. Most will fall by the wayside or be acquired.

CAUTION: Remember when investing, consult your adviser and do your homework before buying any security. Bizworld does not recommend investments.

Attendees of a past gaming expo play Settlers of Catan. The Moose Jaw Gamers Association expects its 2022 winter gaming expo to proceed as planned from Feb. 4 to 6. File photo the Mae Wilson Theatre.

Sjoberg joked that the theatre has been renamed the “Chicken Theatre” since Déjà Vu Café is sponsoring the room.

Members of Regina’s Queen City Cosplay are coming to interact with attendees and display their costumes. Sjoberg noted that these are professional cosplayers who usually attend Sidewalk Days. Their costumes ies.

For nerds and geeks more interested in technology, the owner of the former Matrix Gaming Centre will be bringing several gaming computers for people to game together or individually.

Other activities include gamemasters hosting Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) games; miniature battles such as Warhammer; a trainer who will show people how to use their cards; board games; and other console-based games.

“Lots of little things like that that are new,

but still part of our nerd culture that we want to encourage … ,” said Sjoberg. “It’s setting up to be a really big event if we can make it there and if we can have a good turnout.”

The Moose Jaw Gamers Association attracted 215 people during the summer 2019 GAX and 172 people during the winter 2020 GAX. Sjoberg noted that the organization hopes to attract around 200 people to this event.

Since the gaming expo is in a city-owned building, everyone must follow pandemic-related guidelines. This includes showing a vaccine passport or providing a negative test taken within 72 hours. Only tests administered by health professionals will be accepted.

Masks will also have to be worn.

“We’re super excited to get back out there and try and have a successful fundraiser for our charity,” said Sjoberg. “ … We look forward to it being our biggest and best ever.”

Social-emotional skills are a pre-requirement for learning: experts (part one)

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Several experts in the education system say that social/emotional learning (SEL) is an important component of formal education.

The experts answered how social/ emotional health affects student success in learning.

For centuries, Western educational models have seen emotional health as a distraction to learning. Modern research has asked if there is a better way.

“One thing that has become very evident during the pandemic,” said Amanda Olson, superintendent of learning for Prairie South School Division (PSSD), “is that it is just as important to focus on our mental health wellness as it is our physical health wellness. Students, parents, and (teaching) staff need to ensure that they are mentally healthy.”

Olson highlighted the importance to mental health by getting enough sleep, drinking enough water, exercising, eating properly, and, especially, being connected to others.

One challenge in PSSD over the past two years has been a disruption to not only academic progress but to student connections. Olson said that no area of students’ lives have escaped this disruption: virtual schooling, quarantines and social distancing, cancellations of and changes to events and celebrations, and losing extra-curricular activities, have all affected well-being.

“This fall, our primary focus in Prairie South has been connection and reconnection. This applied and still applies not only to students, but to staff and parents as well. This connection and reconnection work precedes the learning work,” Olson said.

Lorelei Rendall, an advocacy and behaviour consultant for PSSD, said “Life

We know that being connected and having a sense of belonging are instrumental to our mental, physical, and emotional health. It is this sense of connection and belonging that helps us as individuals to get through tough times and enhances our resiliency.”

At the beginning of this school year, PSSD heard from Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe, a motivational speaker and author whose research focuses on resiliency. She told the school division that “Our survivDespite all the noise that says ‘OK is not enough,’ being OK is the heart of authen-

tic resiliency.”

Hanley-Dafoe’s message was that resilience is not about never having crises or challenges, but instead, is about choosing to move forward despite them. Olson said that message is an important one for parents, children, and teachers and that PSSD is actively using strategies shared during Hanley-Dafoe’s address.

Prairie South works closely with Holy Trinity Catholic School Division and other community partners to create a monthly theme resource package. From October until June, a monthly theme package will be put together by one of the committees’ representatives and their organization. The committee hopes that the community can learn more about the same mental health

wellness topic each month. The monthly theme package will be distributed to all staff in both school divisions.

January’s theme is coping skills and co-regulation. Nadine Elder, a PSSD advocacy and behaviour consultant, said that “co-regulation is when we use our own emotional state to bring calm to others. It involves being present with another, taking a moment to pause and breathe together and engaging in other coping strategies.

While our ability to cope with various stressors in our lives is situational and differs from person-to-person, we can all standing support of another. Brene Brown notes that ‘anxiety is contagious, but so is calm.’”

Olson advised that parents can support their child(ren) by: Spending uninterrupted time together as a family or one-on-one Identifying and discussing emotions Setting clear expectations Establishing healthy habits and routines Building resiliency – “You can do hard things!”

Sharing appreciations with one another Completing random acts of kindness Practising and modelling coping strategies (square breathing, yoga, listening to calming music, journaling, positive self-talk) Making emotional deposits Having ongoing discussions about mental health and what it is Helping your child identify their strengths and weaknesses Setting goals Modelling and teaching respect and cooperation This is part one of a two-part article on social/emotional learning.

Social-emotional skills are a pre-requirement for learning: experts (part two)

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Several experts in the education system say that social/emotional learning (SEL) is an important component of formal education. Part of the pandemic response has been recognizing that learning can’t take place when children are stressed from disruption to their routines and their social connections.

The Saskatchewan Teachers Federation, through their Professional Learning (STFPL) branch, highlights a framework from a US-based organization called CASEL, which stands for Collaborative Social/Emotional Learning. CASEL’s goal is to integrate SEL into every classroom. self-regulation: Self-awareness Self-management Social awareness Relationship skills Responsible decision-making The key idea behind having a focus on competencies such as those above is study and practice – much like any other math, chemistry, and biology may nevertheless be unable to grow strong relationships or manage their own emotions.

Research shows that emotional stability and resilience can be taught and learned at any stage, from pre-schoolers to adults.

The earlier the learning, the better the outcome.

STF’s professional development branch has an upcoming workshop focused on SEL and self-regulation.

“What we offer to educators,” said Connie Molnar, an associate director with STF Professional Learning, “is both the research side – a broad view of what the most current research is saying in terms of impact and importance of social/emotional learning and self-regulation – and the teacher practice side.”

Children learning music in the classroom. Taking the time to learn self-regulation skills and strategies has been shown to increase children’s academic success (Jose Luis Pelaez/Stone/Getty Images) Molnar works with a group of educators called the Provincial Facilitator Community. The group researches, plans, and facilitates professional development opportunities throughout the province.

Molnar and her colleagues also receive feedback from the community on what the current needs of the provinces’ teachers are.

One of the researchers whose work is used is Dr. Bruce Perry. Perry is a senior fellow of The Child Trauma Academy and a professor of psychiatry and behavioural sciences.

In a 2009 YouTube video. Perry said that the brain is made up of a series of complex systems, only one of which is responsible for thinking. These systems are related to and dependent on each other. If a child is emotionally unregulated (upset, have self-regulation skills and strategies,

“Ironically enough,” Perry explains, “the best way to make the top part of the brain receptive to learning is to make sure these lower parts of the brain are regulated. And one of the most effective ways to regulate lower parts of the brain is to take advantage of patterned, repetitive sensory experiences.”

Strategies that use these patterned, repetitive sensory experiences can be learned and used by children to reach the calm, alert state where the best learning happens. Students can also be taught to help other children reach that state. This is called co-regulation, which is an extremely valuable skill for high-quality social connections.

“I think one of the most important things that we stress,” Molnar said, “is that these aren’t just what some people

call ‘soft skills’ versus, you know, academic content. They’re actually the skills of living with humans, with yourself and others.” She said that by changing how we understand behaviour, we can move from an outdated punishment focus to an understanding of how to help children consistently and deliberately achieve a learning state that will propel them to academic success. ognize and label their emotions. “So, recognizing that they’re in an emotional state or a high-stress stage, or that there’s something going on with their body, that there are external stressors,” Molnar explained. This leads to a feedback response.

For example, children may recognize that their heart is racing, identify that they’re stressed, and use a strategy to calm themselves.

“One of the big ‘aha!’ moments that always comes out in these workshops is that these are life skills,” Molnar said.

Small stress responses seen in four-yearolds become bigger stress responses in teens, then adults. Road rage, for instance.

Learning the skills earlier is easier, like riding a bike, Molnar said. co-regulation of their parents and teachers – modelling is one of the most effective teaching techniques.

Some strategies/methods to teach our children and ourselves to return to a calm, alert, learning state are: Learning to recognize and label emotional states Learning body awareness (clenched jaw, Finding a quiet spot for a few minutes Listening to music Exercise (jumping jacks, walking, yoga) Deep breathing and meditative techniques This is part two of a two-part article on social/emotional learning.

SaskTel Pioneers donate handmade animals to police for situations involving kids Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The next time Moose Jaw police respond to a situation involving children, they will be able to hand out calming handmade stuffed animals, courtesy of the SaskTel Pioneers.

If members had made hundreds of stuffed animals, they would have divided them among the While the Regina and Saskatoon chapters distribute stuffed animals to various organizations several times a year, this had done something similar, Sjoberg said. retirees to “come out of hiding” to participate in a project.

“They were really excited, and there were about seven or eight of them that came out on a regular basis and did all the sewing,” he continued. “So, it was a nice project for them to get together and a social activity for them to do, as well as they get to give back.”

One of the major pillars of the SaskTel Pioneers is to provide social activities for members and give back to the community, which they accomplished with this project, Sjoberg said. He expected the group to

“It’ll be on them (the volunteers) now that we’ve got the ball rolling … maybe at someone’s house,” he added. “They’ll call me when they’ve got more done.”

Besides these handmade creations, the SaskTel Pioneers have been busy with other projects during the past year.

Before Christmas, the group participated in a Christmas Wish Angel program.

Members went to care homes and schools and learned who needed a gift and couldn’t afford one or wouldn’t be receiving one.

The group helped 200 residents in care homes and 201 students at several schools through this program, with all the gifts adding up to $6,500. This was the largest total ever for the Pioneers.

A future goal for the Pioneers is to distribute thousands of books to both school divisions in Moose Jaw, said Sjoberg. There are two large pallets with tons of books in storage, but it takes time to sort them.

The Pioneers are also supporting the Moose Jaw Gamers Association’s 2022 Winter Gaming Expo in February and Telemiracle in March.

The game also marked the return of Warriors captain Daemon Hunt, who had been out of the line-up for a month after suffering a broken hand at the National Junior Team selection camp.

HARLOS, PETER With heavy hearts, the family of Peter Harlos announce his passing on Friday, January 7, 2022. Dad was born on December 13, 1933 at home on the farm near Spring Valley and growing up in the 1930’s and 40’s was not easy but it gave Dad the inner strength, determination & work ethic that guided him through his lifetime.

Observing him live these principles, instilled the same values in his daughters…he was beyond proud of all our accomplishments. worker in southeast Saskatchewan to heavy equipment operator during the building of Gardiner Dam/Lake Diefenbaker and the Mackenzie Highway to project supervisor during construction of the Heavy Oil Upgrader in Regina. Dad also supervised numerous road construction projects in southern Saskatchewan including twinning sections of the Trans-Canada Highway. But these were just jobs…..he was a farmer in his heart and being a farmer was never a job to him it was who & what he was; Dad loved the land and all the animals on it, tame & wild. One of Dad’s greatest attributes (& faults!) was leaving his own work without being asked.

Dad and Mom were married on June 29, 1956 in Bengough and spent 65 years together, 45 of them on the farm site they built from the ground up. Due to move off the farm and into Mulberry Estates in care in Weyburn & Moose Jaw and we cannot express our appreciation enough to ALL the staff at Tatagwa View and Providence Place for the incredible care he received.

Dad was predeceased by his father & mother John & Elsie, brother Rudi, brother Ted & sister-in-law Dena, sister Matilda, numerous extended family, and too many furry companions to name them all.

Peter is lovingly remembered by his wife Ilene, daughters & sons-in-law Cindy & Jake Wiebe, Wendy & Jerry Breton, Lorena & Dwayne Raczynski, Liana & Cory Turner; grandchildren Jeff (Stacey), Jody, Lisa, Marcel (Becky), AJ (Ashton); great-grandchildren Jacob, Conor, Brynlee, Piper, Kieran, Dominic, Avery, Emersyn; and sister Elsie. Dad is also remembered by many more family and friends; he thought the world of each and every one of you.

There will be no funeral service at this time; a private family event will take place at a later date. Although the consider a donation in Dad’s name to the Moose Jaw Humane Society, PO Box 1658, Moose Jaw, SK, S6H 7K7 or the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan, #301 2550 - 12th Avenue, Regina, SK, S4P 3X1.

DERBY, DOROTHY It is with very heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Dorothy Eileen Derby (Piller) on Monday, January 10, 2022. Dorothy was born on November 7, 1940 in Grenfell, SK. She was predeceased by her mother Helen and father George Piller and her sister Donna (Dick) Erickson.

Also, one very special fur companion, Zeke!

Dorothy loved to garden, cook and kept the cleanest home ever! She enjoyed dancing, attending Polka Fests with Roger and their many polka dancing friends. She loved old time music! She was raised on a farm north of Grenfell in the Lacaine school district and had many fond memories of sleigh riding down the Qu’Appelle Valley Hill. Her favourite time was when she was together with family. She instilled the importance of hard work and having a balanced life - work hard and play even harder. Before retiring she was employed at Lindale School in Moose Jaw where she extended her care and compassion for children always watching out for those needing extra attention. She and Roger enjoyed over 30 years of retirement spending lots of time with family, friends and traveling. Very special thank you to the kind staff at the Pasqua Hospital (4A) and all of the caring angels at the Regina Wascana Grace Hospice. A Celebration of Dorothy’s Life will be held in the spring, her favourite time of year. Details to the Regina Wascana Grace Hospice, 50 Angus Road, Regina SK S4R 8P6.

TRINITY UNITED CHURCH 277 Iroquois St W Moose Jaw, SK Next Service: January 23rd, 2022 10:30am Rev. Walter Engel

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

Is come I received a request from a reader of this column to investigate the lyrics of the Christmas carol “Joy to the World.”

It seems the family had a discussion over Christmas about the phrase “the Lord is come.” Some versions of the song have changed it to “the Lord has come.” The question to reason or just updated grammar.

Isaac Watts (1674-1748), an English clergyman, penned “Joy to the World” in 1719. Over 454 hymns have been attributed to him, so he has some experience in writing musical lyrics. “Joy to the World” is based on Psalm 98 in the Bible. The major theme of Psalm 98, and the song, is that all creation makes a joyful noise for God is come to judge the earth and restore Creation. It became popular as a Christmas carol when Lowell Mason adapted a tune of George F. Handel’s in 1848. Mason’s arrangement has made the song the most published Christian hymn in North America since the 20th century.

Watts wrote, “Joy to the world, the Lord is come.”

The verb tense is the present perfect of “to come.” The implication of a present perfect tense is that something started in the past but is still going on. So, the theological reasoning for the carol is that Jesus Christ came into the world at his birth to restore the Creation, which is still an ongoing activity of the Lord. The grammatical structure of the present perfect is subject + auxiliary verb + main verb. For centuries the English language used “be” as the auxiliary verb. Examples include Hamlet (1603) by William Shakespeare, “The Actors are come hither, my lord.”

Jane Austen penned Pride and Prejudice in 1813, “Oh look, Charlotte is come.” And “It is come now,” wrote Charlotte Bronte in Jane Eyre (1847).

Whereas today we use “have” as the auxiliary verb for the perfect tense. Examples are: ‘We have eaten pie here,’ ‘I have put away all the laundry,’ and ‘She has had COVID19 since Monday.’ If written today the carol would probably be “Joy to the world, the Lord has come.”

Another question to consider is if it is appropriate to change song lyrics from the original version due to changing culture or grammar. Many songs have been altered to describing God. There are people on both sides of that argument to do so, sometimes leading to bitter exchanges.

The Christmas carol “Good Christian men rejoice” has often been altered to “Good Christians all rejoice.”

And this issue is nothing new and modern. The Nestorians (5th century Christian sect) changed the term Theotokos (one who bore God) in liturgy and hymnody for theological reasons, to Christotokos (one who bore Christ), although the ancient Church continued to use Theotokos for Mary, the mother of Jesus. In 1739 Charles Wesley wrote, “Hark, how the welkin rings,” in Hymns and Sacred Poems. The word “welkin” means heaven or the celestial sing,” in 1753, over the protests of the author. In 1855 William Cummings adapted Felix Mendelssohn’s cantata, written to celebrate Gutenberg’s movable type, into the If you wish to sing “Joy to the world, the Lord is come,” you are keeping to the original words of Isaac Watts. If you sing, “Joy to the world, the Lord has come,” language usage. There is no theological or social reason for the change as both make use of the present perfect tense of “to come.” Whatever version of the carol you use, sing with enthusiasm and joy in the coming of the Lord.

Cause of Multiple Sclerosis – 2021 in Review

By Richard Dowson

Dedicated to the On Tuesday I received a phone call from a friend in Northern Alberta telling me her 24-year-old granddaughter was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2021. The MS story never ends.

Researching the Cause of MS Since October 2015 I have reviewed world wide research on the Cause of Multiple Sclerosis since October 2015.

The Cause of Multiple Sclerosis was ogists Dr. Stuart Cook MD, and Dr. Peter Dowling, MD in 1977. Their Hypothesis holds that; 1 Multiple Sclerosis is caused by Canine Morbillivirus, better known as Canine Distemper Virus (CDV).

2 In most cases the Virus is contracted during Puberty. It can be contracted later in life if the immune system is compromised by medical treatment, such as Chemotherapy, and the pathogen is present.

3 I interviewed 29 People with MS and FACT: Canine Distemper Virus is a Variant of the highly contagious Human Measles Virus.

Multiple Sclerosis and Canine Distemper Virus both result in Demyelization Marc Vandevelde and Andreas Zurbriggen compared MS and CDV. Both cause Demyelization. (SEE Their 2005 research, “Demyelination in canine distemper virus infection: a review”.) These authors recommended MS researchers look at CDV Challenges Faced Testing for Antibodies In 1977 Antigen Tests were the only tests available to Cook and Dowling.

-

test for Canine Distemper was perfected

by Andy Mee et al in 1998.

Dr. Andrew Mee et al, of Manchester testing in his research into the cause of the presence of Canine Distemper Virus in 100% of his samples.

Other Examples that Prove the Cook and Dowling Hypothesis These Countries have a low to non-existent rate of Multiple Sclerosis and do not have a tradition of keeping indoor haran Africa.

These People have a low to non-existent rate of Multiple Sclerosis and do not have a tradition of keeping indoor pets – Hutterites; Indigenous Canadians living landers.

researchers suggest Genetics as a factor. racially different. The common factor is no tradition of keeping indoor pets.

Outlier – More Proof The Netherlands has almost no cases of Multiple Sclerosis – about 1 case in 100,000 population. For comparison, Southern Alberta has 330 case per 100,000. Germany, next door to the Netherlands, has 149 cases per 100,00 and Denmark is at 250.

Why so low? The Netherlands has strict pet ownership laws – Vaccination and a licence is required and the annual licence is expensive, about $200.00 Cana-

dian.

Summary In 1977 Cook and Dowling hypothesized the Canine Distemper Virus Caused MS. Marc Vandevelde and Andreas Zurmyelization.

In 1998 and 1999, Dr. Andrew Mee, can be infected by Canine Distemper Virus (Morbillivirus).

Prevention of MS Prevent MS by eliminating Canine Morbillivirus (CDV). Vaccinate indoor pet dogs and cats and farm dogs. Veterinarians provide this service and explain when Booster Shots are required.

Pet Ownership is Delightful Pets provide companionship and comfort. Vaccinate them against Canine Distemper Virus.

Conclusion Overwhelming information suggests Multiple Sclerosis is caused by Canine Morbillivirus (CDV), a Variant of the infectious Human Measles Virus. Most infections occur during puberty.

Be a good Pet Owner.
