Ukraine might be almost 8,300 kilometres away from Moose Jaw, but that isn’t stopping a Central Collegiate history teacher from organizing a rally to support the war-ravaged country. Ray Rawlyk is teaming up with the City of Moose Jaw, Canadian Red Cross, Moose Jaw Multicultural Council and other community groups to host a Rally for Ukraine, scheduled for Sunday, April 10 at 1 p.m. at the Getty Image Crescent Park Amphitheatre. The event will see a choral group sing the Ukrainian anthem, followed by an address from Mayor Clive Tolley and comments also perform during the event. The multicultural council will collect donations on behalf of

“The main purpose is to stand physically in solidarity with Ukraine. And that would include all of our local Ukrainians who have immediate family there,” said Rawlyk, adding the event will also help welcome Ukrainian refugees who come to Saskatchewan. “Basically, I would like people to feel that there’s a common feeling of sympathy and shock (and) anger for the Ukraine. And there’s strength — I think — in standing together physically, shoulder to shoulder ….” er with various emotions, such as anger, shock, helplessness, and frustration, he said. That is why he helped organize the rally since he wanted people to come together as a community instead of watching the news by themselves or with family. It’s been two generations since anyone from Rawlyk’s family

visited their cultural homeland. However, with all the emotions bubbling up in him, he knew it was the right decision to pursue this event. With a chuckle, he pointed out that most people right now — regardless of cultural background — are adopted Ukrainians, whether they know it or not. “But I’m still proud of that heritage, and so if I’m feeling this way, I can’t even imagine what our local Ukrainians who came directly from there are feeling right now,” he said. Several students at Central Collegiate are from Ukraine, and Rawlyk says he can see how the war is painfully affecting them. cult talking with Ukrainian parents since they were distracted and thinking about their home country. “You could see the pain in their faces. It’s horrible,” he added. Rawlyk initially created a start-up fundraiser to help support the rally and received an overwhelming amount of support, including from the business community. He also received plenty of support from city hall, particularly from Mayor Clive Tolley and city manager Jim Puffalt. Rawlyk praised the support he received from the two municbest to proceed. He indicated that it would have been 10 times The teacher also thanked the Moose Jaw Multicultural Council for its support since it promised to send “an army of volunteers” to the event. Moreover, he also found other volunteers using social media. “It came together quickly,” Rawlyk said. on April 10, depending on the weather.

Moose Jaw’s new power plant supports growth in construction industry, experts say The construction of SaskPower’s Great Plains Power Plant in Moose Jaw is expected to contribute to the continued growth of Saskatchewan’s construction industry in 2022 and 2023, experts say. katchewan’s construction market enjoyed growth in 2021 and appears poised to see another sustained expansion period, said analyst BuildForce Canada. Labour market projections for the construction and maintenance sector suggest that a recovery in new-housing construction will combine with a provincial capital investment plan to drive construction employment higher in the near term. This will be followed by new mining opportunities driving longer-term growth opportunities. BuildForce Canada’s 2022–2027 Construction and Maintenance Looking Forward report for Saskatchewan focuses on a six-year horizon for labour market data instead of the 10 years studied in previous reports. The shortened forecast period allows the report to clearly identify short- and long-term demand and supply pressures affecting the province’s construction sector. “Saskatchewan’s construction market is expected to remain on an upward trend through 2023, driven by residential activity, major public expenditures, and the anticipated start of a potash mine expansion, a canola processing plant, and a natural gas power plant in Moose Jaw,” said Bill Ferreira, executive director of BuildForce Canada. “We anticipate that investment will cycle down slightly in 2024 before ramping back up again through the end of our forecast period.” Such growth may present recruiting challenges, however. BuildForce anticipates that nearly 5,000 workers, or 13 per cent of Saskatchewan’s 2021 construction labour force, will exit the workforce through retirement in the next six years. Demand during this period will require an extra 1,100 workers, bringing the total recruitment requirement to 6,100 workers between 2022 and 2027. Given Saskatchewan’s younger demographics, most of the industry’s hiring requirements could be met by an estimatage of 30 from the local population, said

unchanged from 2020. Of them, however, only 39 per cent worked directly in on-site construction. As a share of the total, women made up just six per cent of the 35,300 tradespeople employed in the industry in 2021.

This would leave a gap of about 860 workers who will need to be recruited from elsewhere. In the non-residential sector, new entrants are expected to exceed the number of exits to retirement. Developing skilled tradespersons in the construction industry takes years and often requires participation in a provincial apprenticeship program. Registrations in Saskatchewan’s 16 largest construction trades programs have declined over the past decade, falling by 54 per cent from 2012 to 2019. The latest Registered Apprentice Information Systems data suggests new registrations slowed in 2020, resulting in a further 22-per-cent decline from 2019 levels. At the current pace of new apprenticeship registrations and completions, several trades could be at risk of undersupplying the number of new journeymen required by 2027, BuildForce Canada said. These trades include boom truck operator, carpenter, insulator (heat and frost), refrigeration and air conditioning mechanic, The construction industry remains focused on building a more diverse and inclusive labour force. To that end, efforts are ongoing to enhance the recruitment of

people from groups traditionally underrepresented in the province’s construction labour force, such as women, Aboriginal People, and immigrants. In 2021, there were about 5,720 women employed in Saskatchewan’s con-

2020. The Aboriginal population is another underrepresented group that presents recruitment opportunities for the construction industry. In 2021, about 63,700 First Nations people were employed in Canada’s construction sector, or nine per cent of all indigenous people in the workforce. As the Aboriginal population is the fastest growing in Canada and such workers seem predisposed to pursuing careers within the sector, there may be scope to further increase the recruitment of Indigenous people into the province’s construction industry, said BuildForce Canada. The construction industry is also committed to recruiting newcomers to Canada. Saskatchewan is expected to welcome an average of more than 5,800 immigrants every year through 2027, making the immigrant population a key potential source of labour force growth.

Joan Ritchie Jason G. Antonio Gordon Edgar Joyce Walter April Meersman Randy Palmer Ron Walter Ag Journalist John Kreutzwieser I took the evening off from putzing around the house on Sunday to take in the annual Grammy Awards. Annual award shows (the Oscars/ Grammys/CMA Country Music awards/etc.) have always been a highlight to watch. I must have been born with ‘stars in my eyes’ as the glitz and glamour of Hollywood always has captivated my attention, probably something I inherited from my mother. Anyways, just a short time Joan Ritchie ago due to circumstances, I was unable to watch this year’s Oscars and EDITOR missed the highlight of the evening when Will Smith smacked Chris Rock for a comment he made on stage, and then Smith’s heartfelt acceptance speech for the Oscar award apparently after he was asked by the Academy to leave the ceremony. This confrontation on the world stage has presented a big scandal in the rich and famous world… anyways, enough about that. Now a little more about the 64th annual Grammy awards.

In regard to music, “it’s more than entertainment for me – it’s a spiritual practice.” Upon leaving the stage he also said, “Be you. That’s it…” “In the press room following his wins, Batiste was asked about the ‘duality’ of the moment given the situation in his personal life [his longtime girlfriend and now wife is going through leukemia treatments for the second time]. “It puts it in perspective. Life has ups and downs. And sometimes the ups and downs occur at the same time,” he said. “And when you have that happening, it really lets you know by shaking your consciousness and saying, ‘Be present.

Agrimart: Major Funding Increase for Saskatchewan Agriculture in 2022 Ag Journalist, Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com The Saskatchewan Legislature has announced that the province’s annual agriculture budget has been set to increase from last year’s budget for agriculture in the province. In this year’s provincial budget, the agriculture sector saw one of the highest increases in funding. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the budget is largely driven to support the 2022-23 Crop Insurance Program and critical agriculture research funding. Approximately $340 million of the department’s $422.4 million budget will go to business risk management for this year. Crop Insurance, AgriStability, AgriInvest, and Livestock Price Insurance are among the business risk management programs covered in the budget. $250 million is budgeted for the Crop Insurance program since coverage will reach a record level of $405 per acre this year, driven by commodity prices and increased yield coverage. This year, the province is also providing an additional $2.5 million for irrigation development to help producers reduce the risks associated with drought. “This year’s budget will help supply the industry the tools needed to move through current challenges, such as continued dry conditions while positioning pro-

ducers for long-term growth and success” said Agriculture Minister David Marit. In addition, the government continues to invest in agricultural research as part of the seventy-two million dollars committed annually to strategic programs under the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) agreement. As part of CAP, priority areas like value-added agriculture, market expansion, public trust, environmental stewardship, and rural water development are under development. “This is a dynamic industry that helps to feed the world, as demonstrated by record agri-food exports of $17.5 billion in 2021, with enormous potential on the value-added front as we develop irrigated acres and welcome investment in canola crush facilities here in Saskatchewan,” announced Minister Marit. A temporary increase in the maximum rebate for livestock producers is part of the Farm Ranch Water Infrastructure program, which CAP covers. The deadline for submitting a preliminary application for enhanced funding for agricultural water projects was March 31, 2022, and producers who have applied should note that projects must be completed by September 30, 2022.

Tugaske potash mine construction delayed until $105 million equity raised The potash mine planned for the Tugaske district northwest of Moose Jaw won’t start construction for awhile. A Bizworld column published Feb. 1 described the Gensource Potash project as ready for construction. That was based on the belief that Gensource had 8 news release by Gensource noted the company is still construction of the mine. lion in debt. A subsidiary of HELM AG has committed to invest $50 million and buy all the potash fertilizer produced. Gensource executives are currently in Europe looking for investors. Gensource has three options to come up with the another partner, 3 - a combination of 2 and 3. Existing investors’ holdings will be severely diluted no matter which option the company takes. At 40 cents a share raising $105 million would require issuing over 50 per cent more shares.

Taking on another partner will also dilute holdings. A dilution will leave Gensource shares as an interesting speculation but not that glamourous. Another Saskatchewan potash company, Western Resources, bears watching. The company is developing a potash mine in the Milestone district of southern Saskatchewan. The mine construction is 85 per cent complete, but was put on hold because of the COVID pandemic, according to the company. However in 2020 the company also admitted not all In February the company agreed to put the potash mine assets into a new company. Chance Vantage, a company registered in the tax haven British Virgin Islands, will invest $80 million for a 54 per cent share and Western will own 44 per cent of the new company. It appears the mine producing 146,000 tonnes of potash a year will be completed. Shares of Western jumped from 15 cents to a current

43 cents on news of the new investor. The investment by unknown investors underlies the need for a law requiring more disclosure about who owns large interests in companies. This isn’t just a matter of national security to ensure unwanted investors from authoritarian states or investors Investors should have a right to know who major holders of the company are. How many people would get into business without knowing identities of their major partners? Yet investors are forced to do that every day. Australia and New Zealand securities laws require corporation’s annual reports to disclose the names and share holdings of major investors in the company. Why can’t Canadian investors be granted the same right of identifying major shareholders? CAUTION: Remember when investing, consult your adviser and do your homework before buying any security.

The helium sector is poised for growth, but what is helium? By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

The Saskatchewan government launched a Helium Action Plan in November of last year and followed up recently with the announcement of a $140,000 grant to the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) for a helium liquefaction hub study. The province’s Helium Action Plan (HAP) sets a goal of supplying 10 per cent of the world’s helium by 2030. That would be huge, because the current supply is controlled by just a few countries: the US is number one, with Algeria and Qatar close behind. world. The element is becoming increasingly important in a variety of high-tech applications, thanks to its interesting behaviour at low temperatures. The provincial government estimates that if its HAP cluding: · More than 500 permanent new jobs · Thousands of construction and service sector jobs · Production from over 150 new dedicated helium wells · Annual exports worth more than $500 million What is helium and how is it produced? Helium is the second-most abundant element in the universe, just after hydrogen. That makes sense given

HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC SCHOOL DIVISION

The next Holy Trinity board of education meeting is MONDAY, APR. 11 The Ministry of Education is providing $4.5 million to support school renewal projects in Moose Jaw and Kyle, Sask., although it’s currently unknown how much money The Friendly City will receive. As part of its Budget 2022-23, the provincial government created a minor capital renewal program to help school divisions address smaller projects. These projects involve structural repairs, renovations and additions to prolong the life of schools. The program will target projects that range in cost from $1 million to $10 million. The money that the ministry is allocating to Holy Trinity Catholic School Division — the details are still being worked out — will support École St. Margaret School on Fifth Avenue Northeast. The single-track French immersion school serves 187 students from kindergarten to Grade 8 and was constructed in 1956. About 60 per cent of the school is being used and needs major structural repairs, particularly to its six portables and the exterior of the main building.

their simplicity – hydrogen has an atomic weight of one, meaning it has just one proton, and helium is close behind with an atomic weight of two. Unfortunately, helium is relatively rare on Earth. It doesn’t react with other gases and is extremely light, which is part of its usefulness. However, that also means there isn’t much to hold it in our atmosphere; once released into the air, it just drifts off into space. Helium is non-renewable and cannot be manufactured. Or rather, it is not produced quickly enough to be useful. Helium is a result of radioactive decay that takes thousands upon thousands of years. Most helium is extracted from natural gas deposits. Once extracted, it can be separated through a process called fractional distillation. Helium has the lowest boiling and melting point of any element. That means the other gases it is mixed in with will liquefy before it does. Natural gas is placed under high pressure and the temperature is lowered in stages to remove gases such as nitrogen and methane. What’s left is passed through activated charcoal, resulting in close-to-pure helium. In April 2021, North American Helium (NAH) comtle Creek – Canada’s largest such facility. It is expected

um is far more valuable and much easier to transport and the viability of building liquefaction hubs in the province. Uses for helium The most important use of helium today is in cryogenic (supercool) applications. Materials behave differently at supercool temperatures – some materials become superconductors, meaning they don’t have any electrical resistance. Superconductors can create powerful magnetMachines that use superconducting magnets need extremely low temperatures to function. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners need liquid helium. MRI and similar scanners are incredibly useful in medical applications and for studying molecular physics. Because helium is non-reactive (inert), it is also used as a protective barrier in growing certain kinds of silicon (used in every electronic device) and in high-temperature welding applications that would be weakened by exposure to oxygen or nitrogen. With demand rising and reserves in other parts of the world depleting, helium could become a major part of Saskatchewan’s economy.

Holy Trinity excited to receive money to upgrade St. Margaret School Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Trustees have consistently submitted this project since 2016 to the ministry as a major capital project because replacing the portables and exterior work is expected to cost $5.1 million. The portables’ rooftop heating/ cooling units need to be replaced, while area drainage needs to be addressed. Until now, the ministry has regularly denied funding for this project. “We’re really excited that the government created this new project because … it didn’t qualify for the major capital and we didn’t have enough money through our (preventative maintenance and renewal) funds, so this new minor capital really addresses a need for school divisions that need a spot in between,” said education director Ward Strueby. The division has submitted St. Margaret as one of its top major capital projects for several years, so receiving some funding to return the school to an acceptable level is “really, really encouraging,” he remarked. The funding will support structural repairs to the school, including downsizing the existing school infrastructure to lower operating costs and prolong the life of the building, he continued. Furthermore, the division wants to enhance classrooms and incorporate modern French immersion learning areas like collaboration spaces or commons areas. The downsizing — or “right-sizing” — of the building is necessary since only 60 per cent of it is being used,

so the ministry and Holy Trinity will determine whether it’s better to repair or replace the portables and develop a plan to address that issue, said Strueby. money is it can redirect its existing preventative maintenance and renewal (PMR) funding to support renovations at other schools. “But at the end of the day, we want to create a quality French immersion school … (where the upgrades) will breathe new fresh air into that building for years to come,” Strueby added. Giving the building a facelift and creating more modern learning areas will enhance the French immersion program by motivating students to do better, he pointed out. These students have been waiting for upgrades for Asked if the division was disappointed not to receive funding under the major capital project, Strueby replied Trinity. He noted that the division received $595,000 in PMR funding in this year’s provincial budget, which is $50,000 more than last year. However, that funding cannot meet all the demands at St. Margaret School. The division is excited that students and the commubuildings are used after hours by groups, Strueby added, so this news is great for the community overall.

Let them get on with their work: service dog etiquette By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Dawnette Brett, whose daughter has had an autism service dog for about two months, said that people need to be aware that the dog is working and help minimize distractions to make its job easier. “Since we’ve gotten our service dog for our daughter,” Brett said, “we’ve learned a lot ourselves, you know, things that we weren’t aware of.” She said that in her experience, many people are aware of the rule against touching a service dog That courtesy needs to extend to all distractions. Service dogs can be very expensive to train – costs range from mere thousands up to tens of thousands of dollars. Dogs are carefully chosen for their temperament and trainability, then further screened for how well they Although certain breeds are more likely than others to be obedient, calm, patient, and so on, differences between personalities often end up being more important than the breed. For example, a particular Jack Russell Terrier might turn out to be more suited to the profession than a Border Collie or German Shepherd in the same candidate pool. Training takes years and is specialized. “We sent tons and tons of videos,” Brett said. “Lots of videos of the different things that… we felt the dog would be a support for. So, they train with the videos and the dog learns the cues.” Children with autism can be easily overwhelmed and engage in tantrums and self-violence. Everyone involved – especially the child themselves – is in distress. Parents use all the strategies they know to reassure and calm them down.

All that is to say that there is much more to being a service dog than wearing a vest. They receive years of specialized training from professionals. Not only are they trained to assist with particular disabilities – but they are also trained for the individual they will spend the rest of their lives with. In March, Brett’s daughter needed her grade 8 vaccinations. Needles have always been traumatic for her. With Connor by her side, it was a different experience. “She held onto the dog, and put her head on his shoulder and gave him scratches,” Brett said. “And it was

“I am a service dog” - this yellow lab is still cute, but it is also working. Service dogs are essential to their owners and should be respected (Heather Paul/Moment/ Getty Images) Brett said her daughter gets overwhelmed and her hands go to her hair – sometimes pulling it out. Connor, her service dog, is trained to react to that behaviour. “When she starts getting agitated like that, he will go instantly from being friendly and chill to doing his job,” Brett said. “He will go to her and jump up and start licking her face, and nudging at her hands, you know, to distract her and get her petting him.” Connor has only been with them since February, but learning their own formalized training. They spent a week in Edmonton studying with the trainers. Once her daughter is more bonded with her dog, a trainer will come to Moose Jaw to teach them more advanced techniques.

untraumatized. We’ve never seen that before… And as their bond builds, things will only get better. We’re really excited about the potential (for her).” The best etiquette is to treat service dogs as serious working professionals, including: Not touching, talking to, feeding, or otherwise distracting the dog. Treating their person as a person, and not asking them about their condition. The dog is there to help feel safe and relaxed – help them to accomplish that. Keep your pets separated from service dogs – don’t let your dog try to play with them, for example. If a service dog becomes distracted or wants your attention, let its owner know. The behaviour may need correcting. Ignore the dog itself. A service dog alone means its owner needs help. They are trained to get attention in emergencies, so take note and follow where the dog leads.

Animal vet’s new book takes humorous look at 37-year career Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Veterinarian Dr. Gary Hoium spent 37 years looking after animals — and a few humans — while working in Weyburn, so you can bet that he has a few stories to share. And share he does in his new book, Don’t They KICK When You Do That? Stories of a Prairie Veterinarian, published by Regina-based DriverWorks Inc. His time as a mixed animal rural vet produced enlightening, funny, intriguing and educational adventures, experiences, mishaps and successes that will entertain readers and animal lovers everywhere. For example, readers will learn how Hoium disentangled four grey fox squirrels that wrapped their tails into a knot and how he corralled a 1,800-pound wild-eyed aggressive bull that escaped his inner-city clinic and landed in a resident’s backyard — right next to two schools. Hoium graduated from the University of Saskatchewan’s Western College of Veterinarian Medicine in 1984 he told the Moose Jaw Express. Thirty-seven years later, in November 2021, he hung up the rubber gloves and boots. “Well (I retired because of) old age and getting beat up and burned out,” he explained with a laugh. “The old wear and tear on the knees and body was enough. I always said I was going to walk away and not crawl away. And I told them I’m limping away, so I guess that’s in between.” Hoium experienced many adventures and “interesting things” over his four decades, so a plethora of stories built up in his mind. When the pandemic struck in March 2020 and he was forced to stay home, he realized that — with no sports and time on his hands — it was a good time to write a book. He sat down and, over two days, came up with 125 ideas. From there, he chose the best stories for the book. The result is that his new book has 41 chapters, some with

more all the time,” he said. Writing the book allowed Hoium to honour his clients who used his services and sometimes contributed to the tales. He received plenty of feedback from people, including a 90-year-old man who said he cried over one of the chapters. Life and death are part of being an animal doctor, Hoium added, so writing the book allowed him to bring out the emotions — good, bad, and ugly — of veterinary medicine.

Animal vet Dr. Gary Hoium recently wrote a book called “Don’t They KICK When You Do That? Stories of a Prairie Veterinarian,” which looks at stories from his 37-year career. Photo submitted multiple stories if they are similar in theme. There are several tales that Hoium singled out as his favourite. One includes dealing with a client who lived near the clinic, had a rough childhood, and was “possessed by demons” because of his issues. Other stories include encountering electric fences on farms and other unexpected places. One change in the veterinarian business that Hoium noticed is how animals have become like family to their owners. This is particularly with cats, dogs and exotic animals, he said, but also with horses, cattle, and sometimes pigs. “I think just the human-animal bond and how that has grown and strengthened over the decades since I started to the time I quit. We’re making animals family more and

title? Well, the answer is on the cover, which shows Hoium reaching into a cow’s rectum. He pointed out that, to check pregnancies or help with births, he must stick his arms into an animal’s rear end. This sometimes causes the beast to kick. Animals have kicked Hoium twice, including his arm and his right knee, with the latter contributing to his retirement. “That was the worst kick I ever took,” he said. “It’s not unusual for animal vets to get kicked.” Hoium added that he dedicated the book to his sister, who died of cancer in 2020.

Province to train students to help promote Saskatchewan as international destination By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

The Government of Saskatchewan launched the Saskatchewan Student Ambassador Program on March 28 as part of its International Education Strategy. The program will provide specialized training to promote Saskatchewan as an international destination to study, live, work, and raise a family. Shirley Zhou, an international partnerships specialist at the University of Saskatchewan, said, “This exciting collaboration between the government and post-secondary sector gives domestic and international students opportunities to be global and cultural ambassadors. By expanding their horizons, participants will be positioned to succeed in the global economy and develop leadership the world needs.” The program will have two key pathways: Outbound mobility: Saskatchewan students studying abroad will receive cultural expectation training, Saskatchtional resources. Inbound mobility: international students studying in Saskatchewan will receive academic and cultural experiences, campus tours, and historical teachings, as well as the same promotional resources as the outbound pathway. “The Saskatchewan Student Ambassador Program supports Saskatchewan’s Growth Plan by building the province’s brand around the world,” said Gene Makowsky, minister of Advanced Education. “These experiences can

Interested students should inquire with their post-secondary institutions about joining the program.

Week 2 of multicultural council’s Q&A project looks at cultural heritage, employment, money Submitted

The Moose Jaw Multicultural Council has released the second part of its community Q&A project, with this week’s questions focusing on losing cultural heritage, Kaleigh Pousett, community connections co-ordinator, has provided the answers. Do you ever feel too much pressure to assimilate to the Canadian culture and language? Are you ever worried about losing your or your children’s cultural identity that you developed in your homeland? Thank you for asking! Although this experience is different for everyone, all the newcomers we asked responded similarly to this question: both “no” and “yes.” One expressed that becoming Canadian does not mean forfeiting your home culture. You can be both. Especially if newcomers have others close by from their home country, they are encouraged to continue celebrating their culture. However, each person mentioned that language is a common point of tension between parents and their children. For parents who come to Canada with children or guage versus their native language use. They want their child to learn English or French in order to be successful in Canada. But, cultural preservation through speaking their native language is also important. Children can feel this pressure too: at home, they may feel pressured to speak their parent’s native language, while at school, they need to communicate with their peers. Parents might send their children to language lessons and encourage their kids to learn, but as the children get older, it ultimately is up to them. Some choose to continue speaking their native language, while others stop altogether. The latter can be very painful for parents to watch, and complicated. For example, if a child decides to speak only English, and their parents do not have strong English skills,

imagine the miscommunication and relational tension that might cause. It varies from family to family, of course, but this tension is very common amongst newcomers to Canada. Why are the newcomers to Moose Jaw not working? Some of them have been here for years, wouldn’t it be better for them as individuals to work? Are taxpayers supporting the newcomers forever? Actually, this non-working demographic represents a minority of newcomers, not the majority. Working newcomers are all around us in our community, from providing customer service to running businesses. The majority preparing to work. Here at the Multicultural Council, we ment as soon as they arrive in Canada. This being said, the process of getting a job is coma good cover letter and resumé can be. Many newcomers have extra challenges which prolong employment: little to no English skills, no Canadian job experience, or having credentials not recognized in Canada. And even when understandings in the workplace can sometimes prevent newcomers from being successful. We have many skilled professionals immigrating here, but depending on their circumstances, these additional challenges could take months or years to overcome. So, activities like attending English class, updating high school courses, and volunteering are a few ways that newcomers prepare themselves for employment in Canada. Also, newcomers pay taxes, too! How much cash is given to refugees that come to Canada? Understandably, many people wonder about this. Let’s give two examples of income support for refugees coming to Saskatchewan (excluding Regina and Saska-

Week 3 of multicultural council’s Q&A project looks at Submitted The Moose Jaw Multicultural Council has released the third part of its community Q&A project, with this week’s training and schooling. Do you think Canada should help Canadians This question is a complex and common one, and understandably so. Times are tough. People wonder why Canada continues allotting funds for immigration when so many Canadians are struggling to make ends meet. While we don’t have space to thoroughly address this question here, what we can do is note some ways immigration helps Canadians: · Immigration helps address critical labour shortages. At the time of writing this, Sask Jobs has 805 local jobs listed. Rob Clark, CEO of Moose Jaw & District Chamber of Commerce, emphasizes our need for immigrants locally. He highlights labour shortages in manufacturing, health care, and entry-level jobs, which are expected to grow as baby boomers retire and there are not enough working-age Canadians to that there are immigration programs (Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) and Rural and

They show us new ideas; different problem-solving strategies; teach us resilience; and community values, to name a few. It is also important to note that this is not an “either-or” scenario. Diminishing support for newcomers does not necessarily mean that struggling Canadians would be better off, nor are immigrants privy to an excess

Aside from this, those with Permanent Resident status are required to pay the same school fees as any other Canadian citizen. In the event that people are here on a study visa, they must pay the higher international student fees.

Council waives penalty after homeowner removed trees from city property

CITY HALL COUNCIL NOTES

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The next regular council meeting is MONDAY, APRIL 11. The decision might set a precedent, but city council beagainst a homeowner who removed trees from city property despite thinking they were hers. Marilee Heron appeared during the March 28 regular council meeting to appeal a letter that city hall sent on Feb. 10. The letter ordered her to pay $600 for cutting down two trees on a city boulevard that she and her late husband, Clint Sanborn, planted after they bought their house on 1526 Hochelaga Street West. City administration recommended that council uphold the penalty, but council voted 5-2 to waive the fees instead. Councillors Heather Eby and Dawn Luhning were opposed. Heron is alleged to have removed the trees between May 23, 2019 and January 2022, a council report said, based on an aerial survey from May 2019, a Google Maps picture from April 2015, and regular inspections by city employees who catalogue trees. Presentation Council passed the boulevard bylaw on April 13, 2020, but the two trees were removed in 2019 since Sanborn died in 2016, Heron said. Meanwhile, city hall’s letter says the boulevard measures 9.9 feet back of the sidewalk, but she did not know that, nor did anyone she asked. While a boulevard between a road and sidewalk is municipal property, Heron was unaware that a boulevard could extend onto a resident’s property — as it supposedly does on hers — when there was no actual “boulevard” in place. “There are no other trees planted on our street’s ‘boulevard,’ per se. I know that ignorance is not an excuse, but it never crossed our mind that we should inquire about

it,” she said. Heron thought it was her responsibility to cut down the two trees since she and her husband had planted them, she continued. She never realized they became municipal property and couldn’t be pruned or removed. “Again, it never crossed my mind to inquire since I thought they were my trees,” she said. City hall also told Heron that it regularly catalogues boulevards and their trees, while it added the homeowners’ trees to the inventory after noticing they had been planted. She argued that the city should have informed them about this development and their new responsibilities instead of sending a registered letter years later. a circular driveway, the two other trees impeded her vision while she backed out. She thought she could have the trees relocated but discovered they were bigger than the city’s maximum diameter requirements. Moreover, the 25-foot-tall trees impeded her daughter’s ability to see the school bus. Her daughter has down syndrome and needs a special vehicle. However, she missed her ride one time and Heron had to drive her. Her daughter now takes a van to the Kinsmen Inclusion Centre. Heron noted that her husband planted thousands of trees across Saskatchewan and Moose Jaw. She added that her U-shaped driveway came with the house when they purchased it and she does not know who installed it. Council response Coun. Kim Robinson explained that, through the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation, he knew Sanborn and the thousands of trees he planted. The councillor accepted husband had planted them.

While he empathized with city administration about following the rules, Robinson noted that council could forgive this issue since the family had planted many trees over the decades. “She paid for the stump removal, so I’m not in favour of upholding this,” he added. This is a unique property with its U-shaped driveway, while this so-called boulevard doesn’t compare to typical boulevards, said Coun. Crystal Froese. “They (the family) even went as far as trying to inquire about moving these trees, which I can’t imagine how much that would have cost,” she added. “They tried have a strong support of growing trees and planting trees here in our city.” Luhning was concerned that council would set a precedent by waiving these fees and thought Heron should pay half the cost. She noted that other homeowners might face similar situations and would ask for their penalties to be waived. “These bylaws are in place to protect our urban forest,” agreed Eby. “We live in the middle of the Prairies. We certainly want to do what we can to protect trees.” Both Mayor Clive Tolley and Coun. Jamey Logan acknowledged that this situation was a one-off since the homeowners planted the trees and cared for them. One-offs could start a cycle of precedent-setting situations and appeals, replied Luhning. “I don’t think city council is moving with any sense of caution in this,” she added. “We need to protect our urban forest.” Froese disagreed with Luhning, saying she didn’t think this would lead to “a barrage of appeals” since this property and the circumstances are unique.

Council agrees to provide water for property development north of city Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

A Moose Jaw couple plans to enhance a 20-acre piece of land north of the community and will be able to connect to city water lines to service their development. During its recent regular meeting, city council voted unanimously to have city administration negotiate an agreement with Cal and Deborah Cowan for water service for land at SE-13-17-27 W2 in the Rural Municipality of Moose Jaw. The property is north of Moose Jaw and adjacent to the highway. Furthermore, council agreed in principle to let the Cowans connect to either a private four-inch water line on 16th Avenue Northwest or the city’s eight-inch line near the north service road. The agreement also includes six other clauses related to the project. The Cowans want to subdivide the parcel to use it for agricultural, industrial or commercial purposes. They also own a quarter-section of land west of 16th Avenue Southwest that Moose Jaw annexed years ago. If they connect to the eight-inch line, they will trench the pipe through their property and under the highway to connect to the development. The Cowans and city hall have had good discussions about this project, while the contractor is also on board, David Chow, a lawyer representing the couple, told coun-

cil. However, to avoid losing the developer, the project needs approval in principle so the couple can connect to a water source. “It’s good for the City of Moose Jaw and the community that this project (goes) ahead,” he said. One stumbling block is the cost of connecting to the to lay pipe for — and connect to — the eight-inch line versus the four-inch pipe, so both parties will have to determine the most feasible option. While connecting the 20-acre parcel to the four-inch eight-inch line because of volume and pressure, he continued. If there is further city development around that west quarter-section, extending the eight-inch line would make sense. Also, the city could register an easement near the development to maintain the line. Chow added that the developer would pay for the development and attaching it to the waterline. City manager Jim Puffalt supported the project, saying the discussions have been good, the proponents have performed their due diligence, and creating a new subdivision on city boundaries is preferable since the city could annex that land in the future.

“We want to encourage this to happen; it’s an important thing,” he said. “As noted, a 20-acre parcel is not something readily available inside the city unless it’s in the industrial park, which is off the highway.” One downside is that developing property on the city’s boundaries won’t provide city hall with new property taxes now, Puffalt remarked. However, that could change once the property fully develops and council works with the RM to annex the land. “I’m happy to see that city administration and the proponents have got together to create this partnership …,” said Coun. Dawn Luhning. “There needs to be partnerships with the city and RM and people outside our boundaries. This is a good place to start to negotiate an agreement of this kind.’ point, said Coun. Doug Blanc. Even if this commercial business is in the RM, the people who work there will probably live in Moose Jaw and pay property taxes, which will support sports, arts and cultural activities here. Any water the city provides to the parcel will generate revenue from water-rate charges, said Coun. Heather further nearby development in the RM.

$10 OFF DON’T BRAKE WHEN DRIVING OVER POTHOLES HERE’S WHY • It might seem counterintuitive, but the best thing you can do right before going over a pothole — aside from steering around it — is taking your foot off the brake. When you apply the brakes, your car’s front-end dips down as the suspension compresses over your front wheels. When the suspension is compressed, it’s not able to absorb as much road impact. In other words, braking over a pothole can take away your vehicle’s ability to absorb the high-speed impact, potentially leading to serious damage. • Braking over potholes can be especially damaging to your vehicle’s shocks or struts. Struts largely affect alignment, so if your struts take damage from braking over a pothole, there’s a chance that your alignment has been thrown off, too.

Remembering Mark Gegner: ‘A wonderful neighbour’ By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Mark Gegner is remembered by those who knew him as an aviator and a seasoned technician who loved planes and being around them; a mentor, a leader, a friend, and an airport neighbour whom anyone could count on. Markham Dean Gegner died on March 6, 2022 at 59. He had served in the military for 21 years, then worked as an aircraft technician for a further 20 years. He kept a Cessna 150 at the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport (MJMA) and was a member of the Flying Club there. “I just recently moved back to Moose Jaw, SK after being away for over 10 years,” said Major Steve ‘Stu’ Hurlbut of 431 Air Demonstration Squadron. “Luck would have it, I ended up owning the same hangar that

He was devastated to learn of Gegner’s death. “Mark was one of the truly good guys,” Julian said. “I got to know him fairly well… He not only kept his parking area neat, he didn’t stop there and always mowed the grass around my hangar too.” Julian said he didn’t start his own mower for about the last three years – he never had to. “I offered, more than once, to let him keep his mower and tractor in (my) hangar, but he always declined, saying

Jaw I was moving into my hangar on a glorious sunny day with hangar doors wide open. Around the corner came a familiar face from over a decade ago! I forgot his name initially but recognized his demeanor and smile right away – something that everyone who knew him can imagine I’m sure.” Major Hurlbut remembers Mark as a quiet, kind person who was always a pleasure to talk to. As Hurlbut settled into his hangar, he found some tools and supplies he didn’t need and decided to give them to Mark. (even) after I told him it was not necessary,” Hurlbut said. “Mark also presented the tools and left over items to other people for their use which I found very generous. He will be sorely missed as a fellow aviator and friend.” Kim Reynolds, a friend and co-worker of Gegner for many years, served as his supply technician, handing him

Jason Langton, a CAE aircraft technician, remembers “Mark was always the one guy on the crew you could approach.

Stunning win over Winnipeg caps up-and-down week for Warriors Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express The Moose Jaw Warriors went into Saturday night’s contest against the Winnipeg Ice looking for a bounce-back performance after a tough loss in Saskatoon 24 hours earlier. Through 59 minutes, that’s exactly what they had, holding the Western Hockey League-leading Ice to a single goal and carrying a 1-1 tie into what looked like a sure overtime period. Then something truly spectacular happened. Denton Mateychuk sent the crowd of 3,571 into hysterics with the game-winning goal with 22 seconds remaining in regulation, and that goal was barely announced when Cordel Larsen saw to it there would be no stunning comeback, adding an insurance marker with seven seconds remaining to close out a 3-1 Warriors win. “I think we battled really hard as a team, we didn’t give up at all and that’s big,” Mateychuk said outside a raucous Warriors dressing room. “Everybody was going for a full 60 minutes and if we play like that we’re going to be in every hockey game. Our goaltending was good, our defence was good and our forwards were

good as well so we have that going we can be a great team.” Cole Jordan scored for the Warriors in

So we’re happy with our game, and we can build on that. There are situations where we can get better and we’re just going to keep building.” Eric Alarie scored the lone goal in Saskatoon in the second period while Egor

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express Moose Jaw’s Marie Wright will once again be representing Canada at a world championship. Curling Canada recently announced that Wright will be joining Winnipeg’s Jamie Anseeuw as the country’s representative at the World Wheelchair Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in Lohja, Finland from Apr. 30 through May 3. It’ll mark the latest run at a world-calibre event for Wright, who remains one of the top wheelchair curlers in the country. “I’m super excited for this opportunity,” she said. “It’s the best feeling to wear the Maple Leaf on your back and be able to represent your country. I’m very grateful for another chance to represent Canada.” Wright and Anseeuw played together on Canada’s bronze-medal winning team from the 2018 Paralympic Games and had remained in the national team selection “A big part of it was we had played together before, and in mixed doubles it really makes a difference if you know how the other person throws,” Wright said. “It’s the wheelchair curling, so it’s pretty exciting and we’re really looking forward to seeing how things turn out.”

Had things gone completely according to plan, Team Canada would have an all-local look — Wright would have been joined by fellow Moose Jaw Ford Curling Centre competitor Gil Dash, but he recently underwent emergency surgery and was unavailable for the competition. Since the change, Wright and Anseeuw have been gearing up for competition, even if ice time might be hard to come by at this point in the season. With all rinks in Saskatchewan having removed their ice as of the end of March and their former training base in Edmonton also out of ice, the duo will be practicing in Winnipeg during the Apr. 4 week and will follow with a few days of practice before heading out to Finland. Once there, Wright and Anseeuw will be one of 19 teams vying for world champects will offer plenty of challenge. “I’m guessing there are some countries that are going to send players from their Paralympic teams, so it’s going to be getting prepared to be up for the challenge and if we play like we can, we’re hoping we’ll be able to get to the playoff round and contend for a medal.” One thing to their advantage is while

hubbub surrounding an international competition won’t be anything new for Wright and Anseeuw, given their previous experience on the world scene. Wright expects understanding the ice and what to expect in Finland in that regard will be the biggest takeaway from their international experience. “I’ve even been to Finland a couple of times, so I know (the ice is) going to be a lot different than anything we see here,” Wright said. “We’ve been trying to work on that, practice on a little bit slower ice and a little bit swingier ice, and with mixed doubles, it’s more of draw game than anything else and you have to know that kind of game really well.” Another interesting wrinkle will be the time clock. With 30 minutes to play, there won’t be a lot of time to go over shots — especially when it takes a bit more time to get up and down the ice — and Wright and Anseeuw are already preparing for that. “It takes us a little bit more time because you can’t go to the other end of the house and take a look at things and then get back to throw your rock like an able-bodied person,” Wright explained. “So we’ll probably have me in the house until it’s

Former Moose Jaw Canucks and current St. Clair College standout to make Western Canadian Baseball League debut Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express Moose Jaw’s Cam O’Reilly grew up watching the Moose Jaw Miller Express do their thing at Ross Wells Park. with his hometown team. The Miller Express announced recently that O’Reilly, 18, will be joining the Western Canadian Baseball League team’s pitching staff for the 2022 campaign. And if things go even slightly as well as they did for O’Reilly this summer as they did down in St. Clair College this past fall, the Express could have an ace on their hands. the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association’s Saints on Sept. 26 against George Brown

innings work while striking out three in a 19-0 win. A few days later, O’Reilly was right back at it, this time holding Centennial striking out six and taking another 19-0 win. All told, O’Reilly would cap his freshman campaign with some ridiculous numbers, including a 0.88 earned run average over four appearances and 16 innings of work, racking up 21 strikeouts against eight walks and holding opposing batters to a .151 average. That made it all but academic when it came time to hand out the OCAA awards,

That things went so well for O’Reilly out east was of little surprise to anyone who saw him in action with the Moose Jaw Canucks in the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League in the summer of 2021. One of the team’s top starters, O’Reilly would lead the Canucks with 59.0 innings on the mound, recording a 3.79 ERA and 1.59 walks-and-hits-per-inning pitched.

Kinsmen Sports Celebrity Dinner a huge success on return after a year’s absence

More than 500 people take part in fundraising event at Heritage Inn, once again helping local service organization assist groups all over city Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express At the beginning of the year, the Moose Jaw Kinsmen Celebrity Sports Dinner went through some challenges in organizing this year’s celebrity dinner as there were still many unknowns. But with a date change, celebrity line-up change and the continuous unknowns surrounding the situation with regards to public gatherings, many things were still in the air more than the local service organization would have liked. But in the end, the Celebrity Sports Dinner is always one of the hottest tickets in the city. And even with all the alterations that had to be made in order to pull things off, Moose Jaw did its part. More than 500 people packed the Heritage Inn ballroom on Saturday night for the 29th edition of the Dinner, giving the Kinsmen a complete sellout and once again doing their part to support their many, many charitable ventures. Patrons were treated to an entertaining night of laughs and stories from master of ceremonies Rod Black alongside the table of special guests in former NFL kicker Mike Vanderjagt, NHL stars Shayne Corson and Darcy Tucker and Toronto Blue Jays closer Duane Ward. Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romero was to originally attend the event, but because the date had been moved from the his spring training duties with Toronto got

All in all, it was a great night, and one chairman Scott Paquin was relieved to see go off without a hitch. “We couldn’t be happier,” Paquin said on Sunday afternoon. “We thought it was a great event;we were super excited that everyone had a great time and we were really pumped by all the support we received from everybody last night and all the kind words. We thought it was awesome.” The traditional trio of special awards were also presented on the night, with the Kinsmen Sports Achievement Award being presented to Canadian Olympic speedskater Graeme Fish, the Moose Jaw

Express Sports Builder Award going to longtime Warriors supporter Bob Calvert (post-mortem - who passed away a few months earlier) and the Golden West Radio Team of the Year Award presented to the provincial champion Peacock Toilers girls volleyball team. Then there were the major fundraisers on the night, the live and silent auctions. While Paquin didn’t have totals immediately available, it’s safe to say if the Kinsmen coffers were a bit depleted heading into the night, they most certainly aren’t any longer. “We’re still just tallying things up and getting that all buttoned up, but we’re re-

ally excited with how they did… I think we’ve probably done a little better than other years and we’re really happy about that,” he said. The hat auction for a sports trip to anywhere of the winner’s choice ended up bringing in thousands upon thousands of dollars for the organization, as did the huge signed prints and handcrafted Hockey Night in Canada wooden signs. As for big-ticket silent auction items, one of the more unique selections was a signed Mike Tyson’s Punchout screenshot that included a Nintendo controller, drawing bids that eventually hit the $1,300 range. “That went better than we thought it would and we had a lot of great feedback on it, it was a really cool limited edition print so that worked out amazingly well,” Paquin said. “So we were really happy nitely a good night.” All told, all proceeds from the Celebrity Dinner will go right back into the community and support the dozens of organizations the Kinsmen sponsor and assist on an annual basis. “That’s really what it’s all about, our ability to give back to the community,” Paquin said. “The community came together last night and really support us and it’ll allow us to do more and more for Moose Jaw.”

Another winning weekend for Moose Jaw’s Thunder Creek Volleyball Club Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express If local high school volleyball fans are wondering how and why Moose Jaw has suddenly become a powerhouse in the girls’ side of the sport, they only had to check out the action this past weekend at the Peacock gym. Three teams from the Thunder Creek Volleyball Club were in action during a Sask Volleyball 15-and-under tournament stop in the Friendly City, and wouldn’t you know it, one of the local crews came away with the tournament championship t-shirts. That, on top of TCVC 2 reaching the respective round-robin pools. While the event wasn’t the largest of its kind in the province, it served as a good indicator of just where things stand with Moose Jaw club volleyball — tons of players doing all sorts of winning all season long. “In all the tournaments we’ve been to, we’ve been in the top four,” said TCVC head coach Lorne Polupski. “We won the tournament in Regina last weekend and then again this weekend, so it looks like it’s coming together really nicely for us. “We still have little troubles with passing and the odd serve or two that we’re missing, but once we get through that, we’re right there with the top 10 for sure if we’re not there already.” It certainly doesn’t hurt that the crew of coaches running the show for TCVC are some of the same names doing the same at the high school level — Polupski, Krysta Caplette and Haylee Bevan are all coaches with the 4A girls provincial champion Peacock Toilers, Joe Gunnis with the provincial-title contending Central Cyclones, alongside fellow local volleyball luminar-

All in all, a solid weekend and just another sign of the growth of the sport in the city. “It’s so exciting,” Polupski said. “Everything is taking off, our numbers have increased as players are coming back from COVID and you look at how well things are going at the high school level right now, most of those players are coming out of our club… This is a community club

The Thunder Creek Volleyball Club U15s picked up another tournament win over the weekend, this time at home. ies Aly Bell and Nate Morhardt. “That’s a huge part of it, we have so many good coaches helping these girls improve,” Polupski said. “It’s carrying over into the high school level and really making a difference.” The eventual tournament champions TCVC 1 went unbeaten in their round robin, winning 25-14, 25-17 over the Sun Dogs, 25-18, 25-6 over Estevan and 2520, 23-25 over Route 20. TCVC 2 split with the Butte Hurricanes 25-23, 17-25, swept Queen City 25-14, 25-20 and edged TCVC 3 25-23, 25-21. TCVC 3’s other preliminary matches saw a 23-25, 25-11 split with Butte and 26-24, 23-25 split with Queen City. In the playoffs, TCVC 1 defeated off Butte in the semi and capped off their tournament title with a hard-fought win over Route 20. TCVC 2 defeated Estevan in their playoff opener before falling to

and we’re building skill for all the high schools and it’s going really well.” Thunder Creek is off to a Sask Cup tournament next weekend, followed by provincials at the end of the month followed by the Open nationals in Edmonton in May.

WIDENMAIER, MONA (NEE DUNCOMBE) 1921 - 2022 Mona Widenmaier passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 19, 2022, in the presence of family members just short of her 101st birthday. She was the last of the large Duncombe family whose roots were in England and Western Canada. Mona was born in Medicine Hat, Alberta in 1921 and lived on the homestead in Jenner, Alberta with her parents and two sisters, later Saskatchewan in 1925. She received her education at the one-room rural Workman School. She was pre-deceased by her parents, James Sr. and Harriet Duncombe, her husband, Albert, as well as all her siblings: Margaret, Marion, Phyllis, Kathleen, Jean, James Jr., Douglas, Richard (Barb) and John, her son, Donald (Donna) and two grandchildren - Ursula and Richard, Sharon (Barry), Sharon (Ricky). She is survived by her children: Lloyd (Shirley), Sharle (Hazel), Dennis (Beverly), Barry, Ricky and Wendy Gray (Ashley); Grandchildren: Darren (Annika), Kevin (Angela) Rein, Dean, Carey (Christina d.), Kelly (Shirley), Tami (Chris) Jennifer and Austin; GreatJoey, Allie, Josh, Olivia and Samantha as well as many nieces and nephews. Mona raised her family in several small towns in Saskatchewan and Moose Jaw. She moved to Calgary When her husband passed away, she moved to Victoria, British Columbia. It was there that she worked in a Heritage Bed and Breakfast for several years. She returned to Moose Jaw in 2008 to be near most of her family in her retirement years. She lived independently until 2018 and resided at several senior’s care homes including Providence Place. She suffered from declining health in the last years but kept her zest for life and her mind remained clear and engaging. Mona celebrated her 100th birthday on April 30, 2021 a goal she was striving for. A Zoom birthday party was held that included 25 people from Canada, England, and the U.S.A. A special tribute video was produced by Lloyd in Mona’s honour to mark this occasion. The family invites friends and relatives to view this video which covers her life and accomplishments.

A Memorial and dedication service will be held In Moose Jaw in the summer. Several people have written to share favourite memories of their interactions with mom. They all refer to fond memories of her personality, spirit and capabilities. Even through pain and constant discomfort as well as hearing loss, she was able to make people laugh with her sometimes unintentionally ‘crusty’ comments. We thank her favourite Nurses: Ashley, Erin and Thomas as well as Care Aides Rosie and Sheila for being extra kind to her as well as staff we didn’t get to know. Thanks to her hairdresser, Ellen, and companions Diane and Cheryl who brought her friendship and happiness from the outside world . We also thank the doctors and nurses at Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital who comforted her as well as the family in her last hours. People wanting to send a gesture of condolence could make a donation to the Cystic Fibrosis Association in memory of her deceased grandchildren, Richard and Ursula. In living memory of Mona, a memorial planting will be made by W. J. Jones & Son Funeral Home. Please sign the memorial register at website: www.jonesparkview. com (Obituaries).

ARTHUR, HAROLD WILLIAM Hal Arthur, late of Moose Jaw, ad man, carpenter, gardener and writer, died at the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon on March 27, 2022, at the age of 84. Harold was predeceased by his parents, William Alexander and Edna Lydia Arthur, his brothers Raymond and Lloyd, and his sister Gladys. His loss will be grieved by his spouse of 39 years, Norma Mitchell, his nephews Bruce , Kevin, Mike and John, his nieces Beverley and Linda and his sister-in-law, Emily Arthur. Harold grew up on the family farm south of Grenfell, and in his early years learned to love the natural world and the creatures that share it with us. His education began in the Arlington School District and then in high school he boarded in Grenfell during the week, sometimes skiing to and from the farm on the weekends. His post-secondary education included the Radio and Television Arts program at Ryerson, where he made and kept many friends, including those from the RHO fraternity, that he helped to found.He had a short period in the Architecture program at the University of Toronto, and, after he moved back to Saskatchewan, he completed the carpentry program at SIAST (twice). Hal learned about the world by seeing more of it than most people ever get the chance to. When he was young, he circumnavigated the globe with his previous spouse, Rosemary Gray Snelgrove, by boat, train, motorcycle, car and bus, with only one or two short hops by airplane when absolutely necessary. Harold worked in advertising on three continents, and was a freelance journalist and essayist published in magazines that included the Family Herald and Saturday Night. He was single-mindedly devoted to his craft of writing, and he leaves an unpublished novel, short stories and poems as well as his published work. He was proud to have been asked to read a poem to the Moose Jaw City Council when he was declared Moose Jaw’s Poet of the Year. Hal was a brilliant vegetable gardener, and taught many of his friends the tricks he had learned that helped him produce a bountiful, wild-looking garden without use of chemicals. He loved trees, and was regretful when, after breaking his hip in a fall two years ago, he had to give up his climbing belt along with his cross-country skis and skates. Norma was lucky enough to meet him when he lived in Pense in the early 80s, and they bought a little house together in 1985. There is nowhere you can look in the house without seeing his handiwork of shelves, record cabinets, paint and plaster. Hal was a true conservationist, preserver, and reuser. He never wasted food or anything else, and he recycled everything, sometimes to the amazement of his spouse and friends. He seldom threw anything away. He kept every bit of string that entered the house. Harold was honest, stubborn and devoted to learning about the world from piles of books and magazines and the daily soundtrack of CBC Radio and CPAC on the TV. He loved music, especially jazz, and was generous in sharing with others his love of artists like Sonny Rollins, Oscar Peterson and Jimmy Cliff. In his last few days he could not talk or leave his hospital bed, but he

embargo. Embargoes can be a tool for economic warfare. The concept of an embargo is perhaps as old as the notion of trade itself. In 3000 BCE there is record of trade between Mesopotamia and the Indus Valley. Since then, a withdrawal of trade was used as a tactic to cut a better deal or punish one’s enemies. The medieval Popes used the concept of an embargo to coerce European cities into submission by restricting trade between local and international areas.

playing. would have been this: It is time for us all to be more merciful. Productive compassion for prisoners, poor and displaced people at home in Canada and in the world, and for the species that share the planet with us is what he would want as a gift of remembrance for him. Harold will be cremated as he wished. Rather than a formal ceremony, friends and loved ones are invited to an informal come and go visit at his home at 923 Lillooet Street West on the afternoons of April 10th or 11th. Musical instruments are cordially invited.

Embargo In 1568 Spain imposed an embargo against all English imports into The Netherlands. This was in retaliation for Queen Elizabeth 1 allowing privateers like Drake and Hawkins to raid Spanish treasure ships crossing the Atgered the embargo was English port agents seizing gold and silver from Spanish ships that sheltered in Plymouth and Southampton to escape the privateers. The embargar lasted for 5 years. In 1602 English documents referred to usage of the word embargo in English. The word embargo derives from the Spanish embargar which comes from the Latin imbarricare which is formed from barra, meaning bar, as an impediment to something. In English we use the term bar to mean obstruct or prevent passage, progress, or action, as in “putting a bar in the way.” embargo is an order of government prohibiting the departure of commercial shipping from its ports, a legal prohibition on commerce. The word developed into an order by any common carrier or public regulatory agency to restrict freight transportation. In 1755 embargo became a verb meaning “to place an embargo on.” Jane Austen (1775-1817) wrote, “I lay no embargo on anybody’s words.” And so, embargo was used as any stoppage or impediment. Parental authority might be used to declare that there is a standing embargo against the use of foul language in the home. The current incursion by Russia into Ukraine has led to the use of embargos again. Eamon Barrett writes in Fortune, “Under Biden’s new embargo, any chip developed with any American technology is prohibited

nation, both economically and politically. The ability to trade goods all over the world is key to maximizing the economic prosperity of a country. When that is no longer possible, it can have serious negative consequences. There are several different types of embargoes. A trade embargo refers to banning imports or exports to or from one or more countries. A military embargo prevents the exchange of military goods with a country, while an oil embargo prohibits only the trade of oil, and an embargo on endangered animals would prevent the trade of such animals. Embargoes may be political, economic, security-related, environmental, or health-related. The US has had a commercial embargo on Cuba since 1961. Forty years after they were imposed, the people. Pope John Paul II stated during his 1998 visit to Cuba, embargoes “are always deplorable because they harm the needy”. It remains to be seen what the current embargoes against Russia will accomplish. Hopefully the poor of Russia will not bear the brunt of the sanctions. Thanks to Stu for suggesting this word. If you have any words you would like researched, please email me.

For many decades, it occupied a greater place in the collective memory of Canadians than the Normandy landings of D-Day in 1944.
