Heartland Hospice’s work towards dedicated hospice beds at Pioneer Lodge continues By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Heartland Hospice Moose Jaw continues toward a planned 2023 opening of a renovated wing at Pioneer Lodge – the organization has worked hard at fundraising efforts since receiving approval in August 2021. Recently, Heartland Hospice held a successful second annual fundraising event in partnership with the Mad Greek. Mad Greek owner John Iatridis said “I think it’s very important that if you’re in a position to help, that you do. Especially for organizations like this, playing a role in people getting ready to deal with the end of life journey.” Iatridis added that his mother had died recently, an event that further opened his eyes to the importance of end-of-life care. Heartland Hospice board member last year was a big success thanks to the hard work of Iatridis and his staff, and that they were happy to be making it an annual event. “We’re just really grateful to be able to continue fundraising with them, and also continuing to build community partnerships.” Heartland Hospice began in 2013

Crescent Park, working on cause of death The Moose Jaw Police Service is working to determine the cause of death of a man found unresponsive in Crescent Park. Police and EMS were called to an alley near Crescent Park on March 14 around 8:30 a.m. about a man who lay unresponsive in the snow. Upon arrival, emergency services personnel found that the man had been dead for several hours. family about the deceased man and continues to determine the events and timing about where he was found. Police investigations have revealed that, in the days before his death, the man possessed some personal items that were not found at the scene. These items include a red and grey

backpack with toiletries, black and white Vans high-top shoes, blue sweatpants and a black winter jacket. Police are asking for the public’s help in recovering the items that the deceased man may have discarded before his death. If residents live or work in the downtown area and notice any of these items, they may belong to the deceased investigation. The police service does not suspect foul play but continues to investigate cause of death. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact police at 306-694-7600 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

long their life. It focuses on palliation – easing suffering and increasing quality of life. Heartland Hospice underwent a kind of reinvention in 2021 when Angela Sereda became the board chair. As of April 2021, Heartland Hospice is a registered charity, which has given them new opportunities for hospice care in Moose Jaw. Their primary goal is the establishment of dedicated hospice beds at Pioneer Lodge. Pioneer Lodge renovation plans were approved as of August 2021 as a partnership with the Saskatchewan Health Authority and Ministry of Health. The project will include: - Three dedicated hospice-palliative beds - A family resource centre with reading materials and activities for children - A sacred space for the use of the whole facility - A dedicated family entrance separate

from the long-term care section - A serenity garden, upon which some work has already been completed - Essential palliative care training for hospice staff Dowling said the project should be completed sometime in spring 2023. Heartland Hospice held a fundraiser over Christmas that asked Moose Javians to buy Christmas ornaments in memory of loved ones. The ornaments lit a Christmas tree outside the Pioneer Lodge long-term care building and lifted the spirits of the residents there. Thanks to the generosity of the resulting donations, December 2021 was the largest fundraising month in the organization’s history. If you participated in the “Memories of Christmas Past” fundraiser and would like to have your memorial ornament, you can email sara.bryan@gmail.com Future events Heartland Hospice is planning include an April Zoom seminar of end-of-life care. Regina lawyer and Heartland Hospice Moose Jaw board member Idowu Adetogun will be breaking down the “nuts and bolts” of planning end-of-life care. She will cover topics such as healthcare directives and power of attorney. The seminar is April 9 from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Registration for the seminar is by email at supportivecare@ heartlandhospicemj.ca. If you or someone you know is currently facing end-of-life decisions, email Heartland Hospice at the above address for expert, compassionate advice and support, and guidance on available resources. They can also direct you to local grief support groups.

vacuums, and more

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com Doug Moffatt arrived in Moose Jaw about six months ty of opportunities to apply his wide-ranging repair skills. Moffatt has been repairing appliances for his entire life. He started off helping his father, who worked for electronic or mechanical. “And when he retired (from Trans Canada Pipelines), he decided he wasn’t ready to retire all the way,” Moffatt said. “So we got together and started repairing appliances.” Their business started in Moosomin, where Moffatt is from and he is the sole proprietor. “It’s been absolutely roses here. Everybody…. Well, this really is the friendly city. I’ve been very happy, very pleased with the way it’s going.” Moffatt’s business in Moosomin was successful, so moving to Moose Jaw was a leap, he said. He left a busy customer base there. However, he’s wanted to live in Moose Jaw since he went to school here in the early 90s. He knew then that he liked it. “Then I got busy,” Moffatt said, “doing appliance repair in Moosomin. I thought, ‘well, I guess I won’t live in Moose Jaw.’ But, 30 years later, I’m back.” Moffatt’s business, DM Service, offers an unusual mix of repairs. Although appliances are his number one and vacuum cleaners as well. “Power furniture, even,” Moffatt adds. “If it’s broThe global chip crunch has had some effect on the can, and he said he can still get most parts quickly. However, with electronics becoming a part of almost everything now, there is occasionally a frustrating delay. Part of that frustration comes from his dislike of keeping people waiting. Same day or next day for the initial call, Moffatt said. “Doesn’t matter how busy I am,” he said, “I will always get to you that same day or the next day. I’ll never tell you, ‘Well sir, I’m too busy, I can’t come for two can’t wait two weeks to have it repaired.”

thousands of parts, between two recent repair projects (photo by Gordon Edgar) He admits, it does mean working longer hours sometimes. He doesn’t mind. He’s always done it that way. When it comes to brand recommendations, Moffatt is reluctant to pick sides. Most companies are on par with each other these days, so his advice is to choose a brand with an in-country service centre, a ready supply of parts, and easy technical service. That being said, he’s always loved Electrolux. “My number one brand recommendation is and alcompany. And then second to that would be Whirlpool, they’re actually getting very comparable now.” DM Service also offers free removal of unwanted Facebook, called at (306) 608-2943, or emailed at rebty@outlook.com.

Global peace time dividend sunk by Russian invasion of Ukraine Thirty years of global peacetime dividends abruptly ended when Russian dictator Putin ordered his troops to invade Ukraine. Ever since Russia’s Gorbachev disbanded the Communist Party and started reforming his country towards a market economy, leaders and economists have touted the That dividend allowed less government spending on defence and more on social programs. It was viewed as a path to democracy as people in Russia learned the advantages of private ownership and open markets. It was seen as a path to international peace as various countries traded with each other. The seven decade old Iron Curtain lifted; trade with Russia grew as did investment from oil and gas to fast food stores like McDonald’s. The idea of private ownership wasn’t properly promoted in a population with hundreds of years of rule under brutal dictators. Everybody in Russia received shares in the business where they worked. Most saw no value in the shares and traded them for a bottle of vodka, providing the oligarchs When Putin became Russia’s dictator, the few steps

towards democracy were stalled. Opposition in the meThe oligarchs were allowed to steal from the Russian people at will in exchange for Putin having the sole hand at the helm. Nearing the end of his time the aging Putin wanted to go down in history as the ruler who restored boundaries of the old Russian Empire. He has made former satellites Ukraine was one remaining former state Putin also wanted for strategic purposes. It served as a buffer between Russia and NATO and is a leader in production of uranium, iron ore, strategic metals, manganese and titanium and in agriculture. Putin or his successor couldn’t stand a thriving democratic market economy next door to the stagnant Russian model. So he invaded and used his nuclear trump card to keep NATO from interfering. Parallel to this was the peace time dividend when China relaxed its closed economy and opted for a market economy, growing to be the world’s largest economy.

The peace time dividend model headed for bankruptcy. An end to wide open international trade and investada. No longer can we count on China as an endless market for canola, wheat, hogs, coal, natural gas and other resources. Nor can we expect to grow markets to Russia. European markets present transport obstacles. Canadian exporters must look closer to home for markets. Mexico, Central and South America compete with Canada in most exports. Tapping into those markets has little growth. We will be ever more dependent on the United States and hope the U.S. will recognize its need for a stable supply of oil and natural gas.

Super 8 workers locked out: union claims toxic management poisoning negotiations By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com 41 said that Super 8 Moose Jaw began collective bargaining by proposing almost 60 deletions and/or amendments to the collective agreement, including the following: creases Deletion of the bargaining unit clause Scheduling to be entirely at the discretion of management Deletion of the clause that protects against unfair workloads Amount of work to be done entirely at the discretion of management Control over the appointment of shop stewards To be able to extend employment pro-

bation at the discretion of management Whelan said that making such proposals shows that management has no real interest in negotiating. Instead, he said, they are trying to force the union to decertify by holding out until its members can no longer afford not to work. Whelan said that arbitration proceedings are ongoing to deal with unfair labour practices such as barring the union representative from the property. “Even if we’re out here on the picket line, we still got action against them.” Super 8 Moose Jaw management and Wyndham Hotels have not yet responded to requests for comment.

22034LM0 Two Super 8 Moose Jaw employees who have been locked out since March 3 are walking a picket line in protest against what they say are unfair labour practices (photo by Gordon Edgar) Workers at Super 8 Moose Jaw, which is owned by Wyndham Hotels, have been locked out of their place of work since March 3 – union rep Gary Whelan claims management is attempting to force the union to dissolve. Employees at Super 8 Moose Jaw are represented by Unite Here! Local 41, a union that includes hotels in Regina such as Ramada and DoubleTree. Union representative Gary Whelan told MooseJawToday.com that ever since Super 8 Moose Jaw hired a new manager in May 2021, workplace conditions have been unacceptable. “I’m hoping they’ll come to their senses,” Whelan said. “I mean, she came in with an attitude from the 50s and 60s, where she’s the boss and that’s it. She (believes she) shouldn’t have to negotiate with the union.” Whelan said that after the location’s workers complained to him about their treatment, he came to the hotel to try and talk out the issues. The manager called the police, he said, and claimed he had assaulted her. He is now barred from the property, although that hasn’t stopped him from standing in support with the picket line. Whelan said the new manager told him that he wasn’t God, and he wasn’t the hotel owner – so she had no obligation to speak with him.

“That’s her attitude, and she treats the people like they’re animals. There’s no respect… They’re berated and treated like crap.” MooseJawToday.com reached out to the hotel management for their perspective on the dispute. An unknown employee refused to speak with the reporter and stated that all media questions would need to be submitted by email. The email given was a Hotmail address rather than a corporate address. The Super 8 has hired temporary workers to replace the locked-out union employees. Whelan claimed that the manager had had her spouse send a union membership card to get around the labour bargaining unit rules that restrict certain work duties to union members. “They sent a card, a union membership card with his name on it to the union he’s a member and he’s paying dues, then he can do the work.” Whelan is disputing that move and hopes that if another vote is held on whether to go back to work, the spouse’s vote interest. Bargaining to resolve the dispute started with what union members unanimously found to be completely unacceptable terms. In a press release, Unite Here! Local

From The Kitchen

By Joyce Walter - Moose Jaw Express

Breakfast cereals make own way into lunch, supper Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies, Special K, Froot Loops, Corn Pops and Apple Jacks helped start off my mornings as a child — after I whined about porridge and hot milk poured over shredded wheat. Breakfast was never my favourite meal, especially when the parent in charge of the kitchen insisted I would be more attentive in school if I left the house with something warm in my stomach. Hot milk never did win a medal from my stomach. But I do have fond memories of listening to the snap, crackle and pop of Rice Krispies and eating Corn Pops in those small one-serving boxes that opened and allowed cold milk to be poured directly into the waxed insides.

PSSD signs agreement with group that recruits international students for exchanges Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Five students from France will call the Moose Jaw area home for the next three months after Prairie South School Division signed an agreement with an organization that handles international student exchanges. Prairie South is teaming up with YES Canada to bring over the students to study at three high schools in the division from April to June. Two students will study at A.E. Peacock Collegiate, two youths will learn at Central Collegiate, and one will learn at Assiniboia Composite High School. The partnership is part of a three-year agreement that will see YES Canada bring over about a dozen internaNOTICE OF ASSESSMENT ROLL 2022 R.M.

tional students in 2023 and 2024. Depending upon their family’s preference, the youths will stay and learn in Saskatchewan for the whole year, for a semester or a “spring audit” from April to June. YES Canada has a home-stay co-ordinator who will recruit families to accept the international students. The co-ordinator will then perform a followup to ensure everything is going well. The youth exchange organization reached out to several school divisions in Saskatchewan earlier in the 202122 year to see if they wanted to team up for this initiative, explained Ryan Boughen, PSSD’s director of education. The division’s senior administration discussed the proposal and then invited representatives from YES Canada to meet for further discussions. “We thought it was a good idea, so we took it to the board. The board really liked the idea,” he said. “We thought it would be good value for our school division and our students and for international students. And then once the board thought it was a great idea, we connected with YES again and decided to go for it.” YES Canada, the education director continued. However, the division usually receives a few international students each year, who usually come to study at either Cornerstone Christian School or Briercrest Christian Academy. “I would say we’re being more strategic with this program in that this is a program we’d like to have for some time,” Boughen remarked. “And it’s purposeful in that we want to have international students in our schools since we think there’s some value for our students and for

He noted that PSSD doesn’t plan to do that since both entities have a good working relationship. Division administration is currently building a strategic business plan that looks at the number of students it will place in years 1, 2, and 3, he continued. Since Prairie coming is they will be able to experience rural life, something they might not receive anywhere else. “We just think adding diversity to our schools is a positive thing, for our students and their students,” Boughen said. “And there is also a piece of YES Canada that, should our students want to experience an international experience … then that is also a future thing we could look at. “So, it also allows our students to have an experience they normally wouldn’t have if we hadn’t partnered with YES.” Added Boughen, “We’re happy to partner with YES and offer international programming to students from afar. It’s an exciting opportunity for Prairie South.”

Catholic division, Métis group sign agreement to support students and culture Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw’s Catholic school division has signed an agreement with the community’s Métis association to tionship” that supports students and Métis culture. Trustees with Holy Trinity Catholic School Division held their board meeting on March 14 and invited Darrell Hawman, president of the New Southern Plains Métis Local 160, and Lorna Himmelspeck to sign the memorandum of understanding (MOU). “The two parties are committed to working togethsupports the Métis of Moose Jaw and allows the Métis community to have a collective voice in strategies and initiatives focused on Métis culture and students within the education systems,” said education director Ward Strueby. MOU goals The MOU has six goals that should foster the partnership, he continued. These goals include: Providing effective communication between the Métis community and the school division Empowering and engaging elders, youths, students, parents and communities to improve educational outcomes Celebrating Métis successes and achievements within Holy Trinity and the community Reviewing new Métis resources for the school division to ensure authenticity Collaborating with Holy Trinity in building an understanding of Metis history, experience and contributions Supporting students and staff in understanding the on Feb. 28, 2027. Working together “We’re very excited about having the opportunity to work with you. It’s (signing MOUs) not been done a lot in the past, and we’re trying to change that,” said Hawman, noting the organization has signed an MOU with

Saskatchewan Polytechnic and is working on something similar with Prairie South School Division. “There’s just all kinds of opportunities (in the future). We’re going to be moving into Aboriginal tourism in the near future,” he continued, indicating that Local 160 wants to provide opportunities for residents and tourists to view area Métis history positively. There are 13 regions with the Métis Nation-Saskatchewan organization — the Moose Jaw area is western region 3 — while there are 130 locals in the province. Local 160 plans to hold a symposium this summer featuring elders and invite the school divisions and Sask. Polytech so that the groups can develop a protocol system, said Hawman. “We’re not trying to tell the school boards who to pick for an elder, but we do like to say … we’d like to have some input,” he remarked, before giving Strueby and board chair Joann Blazieko Métis sashes. Besides this agreement, Holy Trinity also has a similar agreement with First Nation advocate Linden Linklater, said Strueby. These agreements ensure the school division can seek advice from knowledgeable people about Aboriginal issues. Strueby added that the MOU would not have been possible without the efforts of Clayton Boyer, a Métis teacher and president of the Holy Trinity Teachers’ Association. Education champion In a separate interview, Boyer — who described him— said the MOU is important since it’s a “super good opportunity” to raise awareness about the Métis community in southern Saskatchewan. “I’m super excited to have this signed, and I’m glad to be a part of because it’s a big deal to me as a Métis person and as a school division employee,” he said, noting students, such as apprenticeship bursaries. “I’m trying to reclaim the culture that was lost (because) of the pressures of society on indigenous people.

Photo by Jason G. Antonio I can trace my roots back to (the Battle of) Batoche (in 1885) and Louis Riel,” he continued, noting his great1885 Rebellion. Boyer has spent the past few years learning about his family’s history and culture and understanding who he is. He pointed out that Métis people were excluded after the Rebellion, with many living in squalor. His goal is to help undo what has been done to his people. “I’m just trying to hold onto what I can,” Boyer added, “so when my kids are ready to pick up the torch, they’ll know what to do and the groundwork will be done for them.”

School trustee Christine Boyczuk receives award for devotion to learning, volunteerism Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

A provincial education organization has recognized Moose Jaw school trustee Christine Boyczuk with its top award for her efforts to promote lifelong learning and volunteerism. Boyczuk received the LEADS Merit Award during the organization’s annual spring conference and annual general meeting on March 8. Holy Trinity Catholic School Division’s board of education — with whom she is a trustee and vice-chair — then recognized her during its March 14 meeting. LEADS stands for the League of Educational Administrators, Directors and Superintendents. butions to education and LEADS; demonstrating strong leadership and collaboration with the Ministry of Education and other education groups; and possessing strong senior administration skills. Also, nominees must demonstrate competencies and professional character to which others can aspire; provide leadership and represent LEADS with passion and generosity; and be a strong advocate for children and youths. “I’m just very proud. It sounds like such a cliché, but I’m very humbled,” Boyczuk said. “It’s really nice to be recognized, but when … you’re recognized by a group of people that you’ve done the same kind of work, it’s very special.” nized for her work. Over the years, she has received the City of Moose Jaw’s Citizen of the Year award, the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal and the Moose Jaw Police Service’s Safety Award. Boyczuk — the co-ordinator for the Moose Jaw Literacy Network — has demonstrated a lifelong commitment to learning and has contributed to Saskatchewan’s education sector, LEADS said in a news release. Boyczuk joined LEADS in 1987 as superintendent of curriculum and consultative services and gifted education with the Moose Jaw Public School Division. She later became assistant director and then education director of the Davidson School Division. She was a founding member of Women in Leadership and LEADS (WILL) and Rural Congress, and was active on the latter’s planning committee for 15 years. She has also given presentations at more than 50 provincial, national and international conferences.

Besides being a taining presenter,” Boyczuk has published educational articles and ensured educators had access to quality professional learning, LEADS added. She has promoted and supported education at all levels, and was a sessional lecturer at the University of Regina and a member of the SIAST board in the 1990s. Developing a foundation of lifelong learning is important, especially in the early years of pre-kindergarten to Grade 3, since that time can affect children for life, Boyczuk told the Moose Jaw Express.

THIS WEEK’S SPECIALS

She enjoyed being the board chair at SIAST — now Saskatchewan Polytechnic — since post-secondary education usually determines people’s future. “Even if they don’t continue in the same role, they will continue to learn, and that’s important to me,” she said. Boyczuk developed her passion for volunteering after growing up in a small town, where her parents devoted themselves to the community. She later moved to Moose Jaw, where residents worked hard to keep the community safe for her children and other youths. “I appreciate Moose Jaw and I really appreciate what Moose Jaw has given to me, so I think I can give back a little bit of myself,” she said. When asked for advice about learning or volunteerthings they like to do and focus on that. She indicated that it can be satisfying to contribute to the community, a committee or a school. “I’ve worked with a lot of wonderful people … . Nobody accomplishes anything by themselves,” she added. “If my commitment was to anything, it’s to working together.”

Spring melt creates slush swamps throughout city: Photo story: March 16/2022

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com (photos by Gordon Edgar) Birds are singing cheerfully, the sun is shining, and the warm temperature is deep freezes of winter – nevertheless, motorists around the city are grinding their teeth. Drivers thinking about braving some of the slushy lagoons that have collected in road dips throughout Moose Jaw should take them slowly. Winter road damage has created its usual deep potholes which may be hidden underwater.

King Crescent off Gordon Road is a hazardous drive in the average sedan

A picture doesn’t quite capture the depth of the icy ruts on Queen Crescent

Additionally, engines breathe just as we do: water splashing up over the air intake can drown them. If enough water makes it into the engine block, a complete engine replacement might be necessary. Still-frozen drains and catch basins all over the city are unable to drain the meltwater fast enough, or in some cases at all. Iroquois Street in South Hill has become, if not a lake, at least a decent-sized pond. Pumping trucks are attempting to clear drainage catch-basins, but thick ice may present an intimidating obstacle. Another driving hazard is created by the deep ruts and semi-solid slush in unplowed neighbourhoods. “Sometimes our road conditions just make me unreasoningly frustrated,” said Queen Crescent resident Crystal Lockyer. “They just don’t plow our road. We all just drive over it while it gets worse and worse. It’s incredible to me.” The layer of ice that builds up on the streets around Gordon Road reaches nearly a foot thick by the time spring arrives, Lockyer said. As warmer weather begins, the melting ice creates unpredictable ruts so aggressive that only an off-road enthusiast would willingly risk their vehicle –

but locals have no choice. Cars with low ground clearance are forced to scrape their undercarriage out of their driveways and down the street until they can reach a plowed road. A 2021 study by the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) said that while only about 15 per cent of the nation’s roads are rated poor or very poor, those roads are responsible for most of the extra maintenance costs Canadians pay for driving. The study estimates that each dollar

Moose Jaw’s High Street West made headlines in 2018 when the CAA Worst Roads Campaign rated it as the worst road in Saskatchewan. As repair season work gets underway, it seems reasonable to ask whether the cost of winter maintenance is proportionate to the cost of summer resurfacing.

Canoeing down High Street: March 17/2022

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com Customers of Water Vision Pool & Spas dubbed the enormous melt-water puddle in front of the store “Lake High Street” – owner Don McKenzie decided it needed some accessories; his service manager resolved to canoe in it. McKenzie’s customers joked that the lake could not have formed in a better spot – all the pool accessories and cleaning equipment were right there. Staff set out some rubber duckies who could enjoy the water. A pool vacuum and cleaning scoop, some chairs, a few plastic geese, and a sign advising No Swimming after Dark completed the scene. Service manager John Hepting took things further when he launched his canoe

AGRIMART

EXPRESS Farmland values in Canada increased by an average 8.4 per cent in 2021, the highest rate in four years. The higher increase over 5.4 per cent in 2020 was affected by a combination of factors according to the annual Farm Credit Canada farmland values report. Record low interest rates, sharply higher grains and oilseed prices and unfavourable weather conditions contributed to farm buying. Average borrowing costs dropped to 2.7 per cent from 3.4 per cent in the previous year while canola and spring wheat price indexes were up 100 per cent in one year. Saskatchewan farmland gained 7.4 per cent compared with 5.4 per cent in 2020. Farmland in this province turned in the seventh lowest gain rate in Canada. Ontario led with a 22.2 per cent increase.

Sales in the northeast averaged $2,400 an acre or a seven per cent increase in a range of $1,000 to $3,500. West Central farmland prices increased 4.9 per cent to $2,400 in a range from $1,300 to $4,700. Not enough data was available for irrigated farmland but the average in 2020 was $5,000. In Alberta, farmland managed a 3.6 per cent increase with averages of $4,400 in the south, $2,400 in the Peace district, $4,900 in the central region and $11,500 for irrigated land. In Manitoba, values increased 9.9 per cent ranging from 4.2 per cent in the Pembina Valley to 17.6 per cent in the parkland area. Average prices ranged from $2,500 to $5,000 an acre with irrigated land at $10,200. Farm Credit Canada says the data represents 90 per cent of farmland sales last year.

Canada’s Farmland Values Up 8.3% This Year Farm Credit Canada’s latest annual Farmland Values report has shown an 8.3% national average increase in 2021. In 2020, values had increased by 5.4%. From Jan.1 to Dec. 31, 2021, the report illustrates changes to Canada’s farmland values, including the pandemic’s impact and the drought that swept across much of the prairies. The average increase in Saskatchewan was 7.4%, noted as being moderate compared to other provinces. Regionally, the Southwest portion of the province only saw a 0.4% change, with a value per acre change of $1000-$3,300. This represents the second most minor change in any region of the country. The Southeast part of the province experienced the sharpest increase of 14.7%, followed by the East Central, at 11.3%. “With the tight supply and listings selling quickly, there were fewer active properties on the market.

province with the highest increase, Ontario, the main change occurred in the Southwest parts of the province, where farmland averaged between $15,000 and $32,300 per acre. “Sharp increases are often a result of local market conditions coupled with relatively favourable economic conditions,” said FCC’s chief economist, J.P. Gervais. Gervais also explained in the report that Canada’s agriculture industry faces current challenges relating to labour shortages, supply chain interruptions, geopolitical tensions, and incremental interest rate increases. FCC also predicts that Canada’s receipts of grains, oilseeds, and pulses will rise in 2022 due to strong global demand and tight supply. Since 1993, the average value of farmland has increased every year, but the increase has been more pronounced from 2011 to 2015. The average farmland value in Canada has risen by single digits after that point. The recent report includes regional data for farmland across Canada and is available at fcc.ca/Economics.

Council schedule to remain unchanged despite councillor’s attempt to adjust it Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

CITY HALL COUNCIL NOTES

The next regular council meeting is MONDAY, MARCH 28.

Judy May re-appointed as directors of Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express City council has authorized city manager Jim Puffalt to vote for Judy May and Dale Schoffer for the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Corporation board of directors during the organization’s upcoming membership meeting. Council unanimously voted during its March 14 regular meeting to have Puffalt vote for the two directors for a three-year term ending April 2025. on the board for the next few years, including Ben Boots (2023), Daryl Posehn (2023), Patricia Warsaba (2023), Dave Richards (2024) and Grant Ring (2024). The recruitment process that the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Corporation (BPWTC) uses annually includes publicly advertising the recruitment of all upcoming board vacancies, a council report explained. Current members interested in re-appointment must apply through the publicly posted process, while a board skills and experience matrix guides the recruitment of members to the board and its overall composition. The matrix considers candidates’ attributes, skills and experience, along with diversity and leadership abilities. The board developed revisions to the appointment process in 2020, with a third-party advising the city and governance and nominating committee on the suitability of the current board members and potentially identifying people for re-appointment, the report continued. The board commenced this new process in 2021. Further changes were made to the recruitment process to streamline the re-appointment process by including an internal evaluation component. The re-appointment of Schoffer and May rounds out the competencies of the Buffalo Pound board and ensure the continuation of geographic representation from both cities, the report added. While Moose Jaw city council accepted the re-appointments on March 14, Regina city council — which has a stake in the BPWTC — voted for the members on March 16. Board members are limited to nine consecutive years of service on the board, the report added.

City council meets the second and fourth Mondays of every month, but Coun. Heather Eby thinks the schedule should change to ensure council stays better informed of what’s happening at city hall. Eby introduced a motion during the March 14 regular council meeting that, starting in September, council’s executive and regular meetings would occur every second Monday unless a holiday occurs, in which case, the meeting would occur Tuesday. Furthermore, strategic meetings would continue and be held monthly as determined. “This isn’t a hill I’m wanting to die on, but it’s something I wanted to bring forward,” she said. Before 2017, city council met every Monday and rotated between its executive committee meeting and its regular meetings, Eby explained. She enjoyed that system since she felt “in the loop” and always knew what was happening within the city. That schedule changed in 2017 after a motion was approved to meet twice a month on the second and fourth Mondays, she continued. However, that rotation meant there are now two three-week breaks throughout the year. The most recent three-week break occurred from Feb. 28 to March 14. “I just found that really long and just felt really disconnected as a city councillor with what’s happening at city hall,” Eby said. “I know it’s great for administration and staff to have three weeks off not dealing with us and do their work and not be hampered by us, but we are elected to be part of the process and help make decisions. “I know we have other input other than here, but this is the only place that what we say really makes a differ-

ence,” she added. “I just feel that as council, we would better serve our community if we were here every second week as opposed to the second and fourth Mondays of the month.” Based on the current schedule, city council meets 22 to 23 times a year, noted Coun. Dawn Luhning. If the schedule were to change based on Eby’s motion, council would meet 26 times a year. “It is good for us to meet more often,” Luhning added. “I, too, feel a little bit disconnected with what’s happening at city hall.” Coun. Doug Blanc felt torn by the motion, pointing out the proposed change would affect two months this year, including November. However, since council has additional budget meetings in November, only one month would be affected. If council wanted to have an extra meeting, it could call one, and the mayor and three members would need to be present, he added. Although he wasn’t opposed to meeting more, he thought the current system worked well. Mayor Clive Tolley opposed the motion, saying his calendar was already full for the upcoming year since around council’s schedule. He agreed with Blanc that an extra meeting could be called if necessary. Council then voted 3-3 on the motion; it was defeated since it ended in a tie. Councillors Jamey Logan, Eby and Luhning were in favour, while Mayor Clive Tolley and Councillors Kim Robinson and Blanc were opposed. Coun. Crystal Froese was absent.

Mayoral candidates spent almost $48,000 during 2021 byelection Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The nine candidates who ran in the 2021 mayoral byelection spent almost $48,000 attempting to capture the mayor’s chair, with Clive Tolley — the eventual winner — spending the most during his campaign. City hall released recently the candidates’ campaign expense disclosure statements for the Nov. 3, 2021 byelection. Those documents show the candidates spent $47,868.14 in their bid to become Moose Jaw’s new mayor, after incumbent Fraser Tolmie resigned following his win in the 2021 fall federal election. Tolley spent $16,008 during the campaign, which was two to three times more than other candidates. His expense statements show that all his campaign funding came from contributions. Of note, Richmond, British Columbia-based Carpere Canada donated $1,000 to his campaign. Carpere owns the Grant Hotel and is — and has — pursued several business deals with the City of Moose Jaw over the past few years. Also, numbered company 101153015 Saskatchewan Ltd. donated $5,000. An internet search shows that latter business has an address of 330 Main Street North — Lions Creek Olive Estate — but on page 9 of the Saskatchewan Gazette where numbered companies are listed, is actually a cattle feeding and land holding company. A 2021 news release from Bloomberg indicates that W. Shea Jameson owns the cattle company.

Heather Eby spent $5,865.77 during the campaign, with $5,100 coming from outside contributions; Eugene Dionne donated the most with $2,000. Despite the loss, Eby retained her seat as a city councillor. Crystal Froese spent $5,627.49 to become mayor, with $3,450 listed as contributions, although only $2,700 is recorded on her expense statement. Despite the loss, she retained her seat as city councillor. Brett McAuley spent $3,128.38 during his campaign, with none of his funding coming from outside contributions, according to his expense statement. Sam Morrison spent the second-most money with $8,274.61 expended, and $4,400 coming from outside contributions. However, only $3,150 in donations were listed on his expense form. Kim Robinson spent $1,335.40 in his bid to become mayor, with none of his funding coming from outside contributions. Despite the loss, he kept his seat as city councillor. Mike Simpkins expended $5,003.35 to become mayor, with his expense statement showing he received nothing in outside contributions. Wayne Watermanuk spent $732.69 in his attempt to lead Moose Jaw, with none of his funding coming from contributions. All the candidates’ expense documents can be found on the City of Moose Jaw’s website.

Safety incidents fell 9% at city hall in Q4 of 2021, data shows Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

City hall saw a nine-per-cent decrease in safety incidents during the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to 2020, although several categories did increase overall last year. The fourth-quarter report — presented during a recent council meeting — showed that between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31 of 2021 and 2020, there were: Injuries: 14 / 18 Lost time injuries: 2 / 1 Lost days: 21 / 9 Medical aid: 8 / 1 Motor vehicle incidents: 11 / 12 Property damage: 5 / 4 Dangerous occurrences: 3 / 2 Reversing incidents: 4 / 4 Work refusals: 0 / 0 Total fourth-quarter incidents in 2021 in the four main categories — injuries, motor vehicle incidents, property damage and dangerous occurrences — were 33 and in 2020 were 36, a decline of nine per cent. Meanwhile, total statistics for 2021 versus 2020 show:

Total injuries: 56 / 74 Lost time injuries: 2 / 9 Lost days: 21 / 125 Medical aid: 22 / 16 Motor vehicle incidents: 62 / 51 Property damage: 16 / 20 Dangerous occurrence: 11 / 8 Reversing incident: 10 / 9 Work refusals: 2 / 0 Total incidents for 2021 in the four main categories — injuries, motor vehicle incidents, property damage and dangerous occurrences — were 202 and in 2020 were 316, a decline of 36 per cent. The safety statistics appear to be trending downward, which is a good sign, said Coun. Jamey Logan. He acknowledged that he was initially against adding a second position appears to be paying off. “I see the medical aids are up, but I think that’s by design, as … team members start to buy in,” he remarked,

adding while it’s also discouraging to see an increase in the number of vehicle backup incidents, there is hope for improvement. paying off, Coun. Doug Blanc held the opposite view, pointing to increases in the fourth quarter of lost-time incidents and vehicle backup incidents. He wondered why some areas increased instead of decreased. The reporting has been more robust with the second corded, explained city manager Jim Puffalt. Furthermore, the construction season last year. “When you look at it overall, our stats are down. We continue to train people on proper backing techniques and we continue to discipline people when those are not followed,” he added. “So … we have drops in most of our areas that we’ll see a drop again next year as our stats come in.”

Council approves demolition permit for Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express The threat of land slumping behind his house has prompted Jim Cole to seek a development permit from city hall ment. During its March 14 regular meeting, city council voted unanimously to approve the demolition permit application for 216 Grandview Street West based on the results of a geotechnical report from Feb. 17 that Ground Engineering Consultants Ltd. provided the homeowner.

determine whether the proposed demolition would affect the lot’s slope stability, the geotechnical report said. The document noted that landslides are active in the area, with the most recent slope movement in February 2017 east near Skipton Road. “Basically, there is instability anywhere along the Moose Jaw River valley walls where the river undercuts the toe of the slope … ,” said the report. “This process will continue over the long term. South of this property, there is a retaining wall constructed out of waste concrete which supports Grandview Street. … the wall is failing, and at some point, will have to be replaced.” A test hole drilled near Grandview Street West in bedrock shale.

The one-unit dwelling is in the s2 slump hazard overlay district, an area considered low to moderate risk of land falling away. There is also an s1 slump hazard overlay in the community that is considered moderate to high risk for collapse. The slump zones are near the Moose Jaw River, Thunder Creek and Spring Creek lower valleys, a council report said. The purpose of these zones is to provide for orderly development and safe construction in areas subject to slope instability. Cole has no plans to re-develop the lot now, although if he does in the future, he will need another geotechnical report, Sanson said. City hall suggested that Cole attain

A future update to the zoning bylaw will remove the need for council to approve demolition permits in slump zones, she added, since removing a structure would not require the same level of administrative analysis as a new building, structure or addition. er Eby said she understood the reason for the change but thought it was important for these slumping issues to come to council as a reminder of this problem along Grandview Street. “If it hadn’t come to us, we would not have known about it. It would have been out of sight, out of mind,” she added. “It’s good information for councillors and for the community, and I don’t think bringing it to council creates that much more work or time in the process.”

Winners of 2021 Heritage Awards Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

CITY HALL COUNCIL NOTES

The next regular council meeting is MONDAY, MARCH 28.

Two city employees receive provincial Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

City council has acknowledged the winners of the 2021 Moose Jaw Municipal Heritage Awards program and commended them for their work conserving the heritage value of their properties or cultures. Mayor Clive Tolley and Coun. Jamey Logan presented the recipients with their awards during the March 14 meeting. The heritage advisory committee collected the nominations of citizens and heritage properties and voted on the award nominees. The committee then forwarded those nominees to council. This year’s award winners are: James and Carla Ferguson at 1006 Redland Avenue for stewardship The Fergusons have lived in their home since 2000 and have updated, renovated and maintained their home while ensuring the site’s historical integrity. Exterior updates include a wrought iron fence and a detailed retaining wall. Joe and Laura Willis at 140 Oxford Street West for restoration The Willises restored their home’s exterior in 2019 by removing the stucco and replacing the siding and completing the veranda with stone pillars. The front yard is now enclosed with a wrought iron fence similar to homes of 100 years ago. Jillian’s Design Elements at 621 Main Street North for adaptive reuse This business is in a building with a distinctly mid-century history.

Jared and Alyssa Robinson’s home at 65 Oxford Street West for sympathetic new construction Since the Robinsons took ownership of the 101-yearold home, it was their goal to maintain the building’s heritage and create period-style spaces and home accents. Upgrades have included sourcing bricks from the old downtown theatre and capstones from the old courthouse to erect columns with a 120-year-old Egyptian gate. Another project was transforming the old boiler room to a period-style English pub named “The Black Stag.” No award was given to recognize heritage tradespeople or craftsmen Hawman and Jared and Alyssa Robinson were the only winners to attend the meeting to receive their awards.

Warriors close out up-and-down week on highest of highs with huge win over Regina

Moose Jaw pounds out 10-4 win over Pats on Snowbird Night after falling 4-0 in Winnipeg, rolling past Brandon 7-1 Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express After going through an up-and-down pair of contests heading into their Snowbird Night game on Mar. 19 at Mosaic Place, the Moose Jaw Warriors were looking for a bounce-back showing against the Regina Pats. Things started out well enough earlier in the week, as the Warriors went into Brandon and rolled to a 7-1 win on Mar. 15, but 24 hours later the shoe was on the other foot in a 4-0 loss to the Winnipeg Ice. So how did things turn out against the Pats? Only the Warriors’ highest offensive output of the season, as they pounded out a 10-4 victory in front of well over 4,000 fans, the largest crowd to take in a regular-season game in many years. The Warriors improved to 34-21-3-2 with the win and can now clinch a playoff spot with a single win over their last eight games or a Prince Albert loss in the same span. They’ll also look to hold off Saskatoon for fourth place in the Eastern Conference, as they now hold a three-point lead on the Blades. Warriors 10, Regina 4 One could pick any positive superlative out of the dictionary and it would apply to the Warriors’ performance on Saturday night.

Alarie, Brayden Yager and Jagger Firkus added three more in the third. Firkus also had a pair of assists, while Alarie, Hunt, Baco, Kaddoura, Rysavy and “We had four lines and three D pairings all going tonight, and when we have that, we can roll the lines and everybody’s gonna produce,” Mateychuk said. “I think we did a great job of that, everybody was going. Everybody was in it from the start to the end and think when we do that, we’re a great team.” Regina had goals from Tye Spencer, Connor Bedard, Cole Dubinsky and Braxton Whitehead. Carl Tetachuk had 41 saves in the Warriors net, while Matthew Kieper and Drew Sim faced 32 shots for Regina.

AAA Warriors eliminated from Moose Jaw makes things interesting in series three-games-to-none Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express The season has come to an end for the Moose Jaw AAA Warriors.

Defenceman Denton Mateychuk didn’t score but still ended up with the best offensive showing of his career, racking up six assists through the evening. “I just think I just tried to keep my poise and let the play come to me,” Mateychuk said when asked what the key to his huge night was. “I’ve been trying to try to do that, not trying to force things and I think I did a really good job of it tonight. I didn’t try and force anything, didn’t make any plays that might have put a guy in a vulnerable position, just passing the puck away when I shouldn’t. So I thought I did a pretty good job of that and got rewarded.” Martin Rysavy nearly brought the roof off Mosaic Place when he scored the game’s opening goal 3:45 in before Ryder Korczak, Daemon Hunt and Atley Calvert Calder Anderson, Robert Baco and Majid Kaddoura scored in the second; Eric

Brayden Yager scored his 30th of the riod, breaking Theoren Fleury’s 37-yearold record for most goals by a 16-year-old in franchise history. Fleury himself weighed in on Twitter shortly after the goal, saying “Way to go man. Records are made to be broken. Congrats!!!!” Fleury also recorded a heartfelt message congratulating Yager that was played before the Snowbird Night game, and the team presented their young forward with a special plaque commemorating the occasion prior to the contest. goals, as did Alarie. Korczak had a goal and four points, Rysavy a goal and two assists, Baco their other marker. Tetachuk was solid in net with 21 saves, Ethan Kruger and Carson Bjarnason faced 30 shots in the Brandon goal. The Warriors now have the week off before hosting Saskatoon on Saturday, Mar. 26.

The Peacock Toilers male under-77 kilograms competitor ended up battling in a couple late-tournament wars — before Mar. 19 at Saskatoon Evan Hardy.

RE: CANADIAN CITIZEN BIRTHRIGHT Nobody could possibly have more birthrights than the children whose parents were Canadian citizens at the time of their birth. (descendants) of yesterdays migrants whose herithose groups and societies who arbitrarily have settled in remote areas all over the world, many of them still semi-isolated. We are living in a constantly changing environment, and many of those isolated societies, including the so-called indigenous people, have been unable and unwilling to change with the rest of the world (assimilate), and their quality of life has deteriorated considerably as the result of that. The United Nations (UN) have recognized those conditions, and several countries, including Canada, have adopted the UNDRIP declaration, promoting

ways and means for them to have and experience the same opportunities and quality of life as everybody else. many of our politicians, lawyers, and judges have different interpretations of that protocol, and have managed to twist and turn it into a nasty political pretzel To insist tribes and colonies continue to live in their tribal colonial past, each with its own set of rules, is ridiculous, and insisting people with 15/16 (94%) Polish, German, Spanish, or Italian blood in their veins are indigenous people who qualify for special rights and considerations is closing the doors on reconciliation. immigrants, with their hard work and money, who, in exchange for treaties, farmed the lands, harvested the resources, and built all our public and private sector infrastructure that is providing all Canadians with a

better quality of life, indigenous people included. When the Supreme Court of Canada arbitrarily ceded substantial pieces of lands to these indigenous people, the rest of Canada automatically became un-ceded land with collective communal title, an absolutely impossible situation. We cannot have two different title systems for the same land. That has created an incredible monster, as virfrastructures, like our school, universities, hospitals, industrial plants, pipelines, highways, airports, apartment buildings, and virtually every single home in At the same time literally billions of dollars, including resource royalty dollars, desperately needed to upgrade and maintain those critical infrastructures, instead are being awarded to the Chiefs, Councillors, and their lawyers.

Obituaries / Memorials BLAIR, JOHN John Allen Blair passed away at the age of 87 on Wednesday, January 19th, 2022. He was born on March 21st, 1934 in Mazenod, SK to Irish immigrant parents Andrew and Elizabeth (Lizzie) Blair. He was the youngest sibling of Nellie, Bill, George and Joe. His family built a homestead south of Coderre, SK in 1927. They started raising cattle and horses and transitioned into wheat farming. Following his grade 8 graduation John continued to work the farm, now in a full time roll, as his father Andrew had passed away. The farm was then carried on by Bill and John. John loved farming. In later years following the harvest John and his mom Lizzie would move into Moose Jaw for the Winter and await the arrival of Spring. During their time living in Moose Jaw, John took up square dancing where he met his future wife Kay (Forder) and married her in 1974. John was loved, well respected and could carry on a conversation with anyone. His word was his bond and a handshake held weight. He will be missed and survived by his step daughter Doreen Blair; grand daughter June-Ann (Curtis) DuMont and their children Irene, Eli and Oliver; stepson Hank (Peggy) Forder; grand daughter Jennifer (Greg) Martuo and her children Olivia and Raylene and her son Wyatt; grandsons David and Michael (Crystal) and their daughters Hayley and Hannah; niece Betty (Norman) Briggs; great nieces and nephew Wesley, Tammy, Donna, Terri and Vonda and all their children; and great nephew Adam (Tara) Blair and his children Jackson and Brooklyn. In lieu of a funeral, at John’s request, there will be a graveside service at the Coderre cemetery in the Spring. TBD In living memory of John, a memorial planting will be made by W.J. Jones & Son Funeral Home. Please sign the memorial register at website: www.jonesparkview. com (Obituaries). Dayna Chamberlain, Funeral Director

WILM, JOAN Joan Wilm (nee: Morley) passed away peacefully on March 16, 2022, at the age of 98 while in the care of the wonderful Regency Manor staff in Central Butte, SK. Joan was predeceased by her husband Walter Wilm, parents George and Annie Morley and sisters Nancy Farwell, Mary Watkinson, and Elsie Brown. Joan will be lovingly remembered by her three children and seven grandchildren: Lynne Feeney and her children Steve (Tracy) Feeney and Treana Feeney (Mike Stumpf); Lorne (Joanne) Wilm and their children Dallas (Shanlee) Wilm, Clarke (Andrea) Wilm and Lee (Sarah) Wilm; and Donna (Devone) Miner and their children Ryan (Tricia) Miner and Tanya Miner; as well as her 20 great-grandchildren: Garrett, Conner, Sydney, Nicholas, Ashten, Hayden, Hunter, Tristyn, Broden, Ryder, Logan, Easton, Wyatt, Cody, Kasper, Jesse, Preston, Harleigh, Bryce and Livia. Joan was born on October 29th, 1923, in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England. At the age of 3, the family immigrated to Canada and settled in the Thunder Creek region southwest of Central Butte. Joan married Walter Wilm on August 1, 1943 and raised their three children on Walter’s family farm south of Central Butte until moving into town in 1965. Joan worked hard both on the farm and in many local businesses in town including the grocery store, restaurant, and bakery. She also tried her hand at many crafty and creative ventures including ceramics, which she also taught for many years out of her basement, furniture restoration and many types of needlework. Joan loved spending time with her grandchildren, whether it was watching their sports or taking them on camping trips in her motorhome; she also loved helping with her great-grandchildren. Joan especially loved watching hockey at the local rink where her favorite seat was generally reserved just for her. A private family service will be held at a later date. Joan to Central Butte Regency Hospital Auxiliary, Box 98, Central Butte, SK, S0H 0T0. In living memory of Joan, a memorial planting will be made by W.J. Jones & Son Funeral Home.

Petition COVID19 has certainly not left us yet. People are still concerned about the effects of catching the virus. In Ontario, a family doctor in Guelph, Dr. Andrea Chittle, accumulated over 10,000 signatures on a petition to the province to keep masks in schools for a while rather than no longer requiring them when students return on Monday, March 21. A petition is a formal request to an authority, often for change, signed by many people. The word comes from the Latin petitio, which derives from peto, meaning to seek, request, ask, beg. The word petition in English in the 1300s to describe an earnest request, an entreaty. It became used as a verb in 1607 to indicate making a request, as one might petition a friend to borrow

some money. Synonyms for a petition can be an appeal, a plea, a prayer, a supplication. The word moved into religious usage meaning to beg, beseech, entreat, pray to God for something. When I began to learn the meaning of the Lord’s Prayer in catechism classes, we were taught to divide the prayer into seven petitions. In that prayer there are seven requests that we make of God. Reciting the Lord’s Prayer has become an important daily ritual for many Christians, even more so in the Season of Lent, ration for Easter celebrations. and praying. Although many people tend to associate the primary act of prayer with requesting things of God, a petition is just a small segment of the concept of prayer. The Psalmist used the Hebrew word shaal in Psalm 20, “May we shout for joy over your salvation, and in the all your petitions!” But the more common Hebrew word for prayer is palal, which covers many aspects of interceding and praying to God. “Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray.” (Psalm 5:2) Luke wrote of Jesus, “In these days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.” (Luke 6:12) The Greek word used is proseuchomai, meaning to speak with God. Jesus spent time in various modes of communication with the Father throughout the night. This is the encouragement of praying during Lent. It is not a time to be more passionate in asking God for stuff nor making more forceful petitions. Prayer encompasses all communication with the deity, even silence and meditation in the presence of the Almighty. When Paul was arrested for public disturbance, the

authorities were sent an enteuxis. “Festus said, “King Agrippa and all who are present with us, you see this man about whom the whole Jewish people petitioned me, both in Jerusalem and here, shouting that he ought not to live any longer.” (Acts 25:24) One of the roles of the Spirit is to petition the Father on our behalf. “The Spirit petitions for the saints according to the will of God.” (Romans 8:27) Just as Jesus also petitions the Father on our behalf. “Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is petitioning for us.” (Romans 8:34) In Paul’s letter to Timothy he wrote, “I urge that supplications, prayers, petitions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and digpray for our leaders and other authorities. Too often we are more apt to complain and criticize than to pray for people. And in our petitions, we should be careful not to request that God lead authorities to do what we want but to give wisdom to do what is just and right. What a difference that could make in our country and world. Try it.
