Opposition critic responds to Moose Jaw MLA comments regarding education funding in provincial budget By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

The Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan in Regina (Zoya Yuzvak/iStock/ Getty Images) The Opposition NDP’s education critic called on Moose Jaw’s MLAs to stop defending the 2022 provincial budget and said they should instead be listening to the concerns of educational stakeholders. “I guess that’s my challenge to the Moose Jaw MLAs,” said Matt Love, MLA for Saskatoon Eastview and a classroom teacher who ran on an education platform. “(These) statements have been discredited by folks who have a good understanding of what this budget will do to classrooms, and to hear them continue to use those statements, I think is irresponsible.” McLeod and Lawrence responded to a request for comment on the March 23 statement from the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation (STF), which called the 2022-23 provincial budget “a failure to plan for tomorrow and invest in our province’s future.” Love referred to the statement from the STF and referenced additional media releases from the Saskatchewan School Boards Association (SSBA) and the Chinook School Division in Swift Current. The SSBA statement reads, in part, ary costs, the dollars aren’t there to pay for any investment or additional services that students need.” The Chinook School Division statement was addressed to families and apolto make because of the province’s underfunding. It states that years of government underfunding have required increasing cost-cutting measures, and thanks parents and caregivers for their support “through this challenging time.” “Depending on future funding from the province, in order to ensure the long sion,” the school division said, “the board may have to look at additional solutions to “Every year, the government says this is a new record level of spending for education,” Love said. “Of course it is. Of -

dreds more students, costs are rising, and just because it’s a record level of investment doesn’t mean that it’s meeting the needs of our classrooms.” Love said that this year’s budget is not dissimilar to previous years in that it is a small increase in overall funding that does not meet real needs. He noted that in 2021 there were 1,600 more students and 352 fewer teachers in Saskatchewan classrooms and said that situation has become normal. “We shouldn’t be dismissing the comments from people like the SSBA and the STF, and individual school divisions,” Love said. “We need to be listening to those people instead of dismissing them and telling them that they’re wrong.” nance critic, said in a previous interview into the costs of heat, fuel, employment contracts, and all the supplies needed to run an education system. “So what we see in the provincial budget, by way of the dollars for education, amounts to a cut,” Wotherspoon said, “because the dollars they provide fall far short of the increases to those very things of the utilities, the cost of supplies. So now school divisions are in this terrible situation, once again, because of this government’s callous approach to education.” Lawrence and McLeod pointed out that the operating funding for schools will increase by 1.5 per cent, while enrolment is projected to increase by only 0.7 per cent. They also said that the capital funding will increase by 8.3 per cent, “well Love took issue with that math, calling the 8.3 per cent number “the most cent “massive federal investment in early learning, child care, and licensed daycare lic education.” The 1.5-per-cent increase in operating funding, Love said, comes nowhere close increased enrolment. The Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools Division said that “increases to costs are projected to far exceed the increase in revenue from the province,” and the “butter can only be spread so thin on the bread, as the saying goes.” Robert Bratvold, education director of the Saskatchewan Rivers School Division in Prince Albert, echoed those concerns when he told the media that the provincial budget “doesn’t even come close to cover-

Joan Ritchie Jason G. Antonio Gordon Edgar Joyce Walter April Meersman Randy Palmer Ron Walter Ag Journalist John Kreutzwieser “Once upon a time, there was a Magic Kingdom made of hopes and childhood fantasies. A timeless place where every land was everyone who entered its gates would be given the gift of the young at heart.” - Author: Julie Andrews Wouldn’t the world be a different place if we could only embrace life as a child? When children grow up to Joan Ritchie adulthood, somehow life takes a turn EDITOR that grays the imagination, wonder and amazement that everyday has to offer for kids. Children view their small world with a childlike faith and imagination that colours their days so they aren’t bogged down in political adult’s world. For the most part, life has a way of complicating matters and adults have a way of making things much more complicated than they actually are. An adult’s world encompasses a much broader view that a child’s ‘small’ world – the global issues somehow become our issues, causing headaches, heartaches, stress, insecurity and anxiety, even though we may be far from those immediate problems in our own lives. Our grandchildren are again teaching us that life is bigger, more exciting and more fun as a child. One of our grandsons in Powell River - a three year old has, as of yet, no comprehension of the value of money, but in life experience he sees ‘treasures’ everywhere he goes. Recently we had a chance to visit them and as their coastal playground offers, there are rocks everywhere. During a walk along the oceanside with his dad and grandpa, he was turning over every rock he could get his hands on. When asked why he was doing that, he exclaimed, “I’m looking for treasures.” Kids see treasure not under a rock…and for them, that’s a real treasure. Another experience to illustrate childhood wonder and the imagination of children happened this Easter weekend. Other grandsons, ages 16 months and six years that live in New Westminster, BC were extremely excited to have the Easter Bunny visit. On Saturday evening in a video clip, Mak (6 years old) was very busy cleaning up the living room and putting all his toys away; when his dad asked him what he was doing, he said he didn’t want the Easter Bunny to trip over them when he came to visit that night. In a following conversation Mak told his dad that the Easter Bunny poops jelly beans…J Later the kids put out a carrot and cookie treat for the rascally wabbit that was soon to come. The following morning on Mak’s awakening, his dad was armed and ready to tape his every move starting from the chocolate on his headboard that was a sure indication that the Easter Bunny had dropped by and even came into his bedroom. Following bunny tracks (creatively made and placed) and a chocolate egg path…Mak made his way right to his Easter Watching his experience brought great joy to my heart… but unfortunately, the kids will soon realize that things of imagination that bring excitement and wonder will soon be lost in reality, just a stepping stone in growing up. “It’s essential that a part of you not grow up. Childhood wonder gives us our spark and beauty.” - Author: Robin Quivers The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the auSend your letters to the editor to: jritchie@moosejawtoday.com or 888-241-5291 All columns, letters to the editor and editorials are solely the personal opinions of the writers themselves and not necessarily the opinions of The Moose Jaw Express.

Mental health program providing positive results for Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express A mental health program that the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) created is producing positive results for staff and students in Prairie South School Division, the division says.

PRAIRIE SOUTH

SCHOOL DIVISION The next PSSD board meeting is to the mood walls at their school.

Amy Johnson, superintendent of human resources, spoke to division trustees during their recent board meeting about “Not Myself Today.” This program is the CMevidence-based and aligns with the National Standard of Psychological Health and Safety by addressing common psychosocial factors. Johnson explored the program herself before she subscribed the school division to the initiative, she said. Teachers’ Association to offer the program to educators, although all staff — including non-teachers — can access the initiative. The program’s goals include building greater awareness and understanding of mental health, reducing stigma and fostering safe and supportive work cultures. “It provides lots of tools in terms of a unique approach. It’s online, but I also received a physical package of goodies that are handouts and some fun activities,” approachable and accessible conversations in the workthat social condition and transform the culture.” The program’s toolkit offers six modules: learning the basics, working with emotions, addressing stress, building culture, talking openly, and dealing with marijuana use. The HR department launched this program in the fall and held kickoff events for school administrators to better understand it and use it in their schools, she continued. The department also sent emails to all staff to explain the program and provide log-in information. moods affect how people work, and how it’s healthy to acknowledge moods. Staff also have the option to share online how they’re feeling. “We certainly have been encouraging folks to do that online, but there’s also several mood walls set up throughout the division,” Johnson said. The program portal allows staff to access resources and print them, including words or phrases that can be turned into magnets. Staff can then attach those magnets

are using this program with students. Students can wear a button with an emoji, so they don’t have to verbalize how they’re feeling. This has created a more positive culture in classrooms. One school has printed materials so students in grades 7 to 12 can build a coping strategies list. Another school created a “resiliency bingo” program for its staff, while other schools have used the “Wellness Wednesday” initiatives. Johnson can review data from the program and see how many employees have used it. She noted that more than 800 people had selected a mood every day by March. However, not every employee logs in daily, so that number could be composed of a small group regularly logging their mood. School administrators can use some or all the toolkit when discussing mental health with staff, while they can explore modules’ activities by following a suggested calendar, she said. Schools are encouraged to install whiteboards so employees can write or leave positive and uplifting comments.

what tools they wanted (and) how they wanted to engage their staff in the conversations about mental health, but it was an extra tool in the toolbox,” the HR superintendent continued. The program offers a daily “mission possible” initia-

includes offering kind gestures to others, saying positive words or comments, or writing down three positive things about themselves. Johnson sends a weekly email to staff reminding them to use the program and work together on activities. However, those who don’t access it online can use the tools she includes in her emails. She noted that she hears from three different employees a month about how grateful they are to have the tools. “So, we’re building a culture (and) sharing the same language all at the same time and talking about the same thing,” she said, adding she is pleased that schools are also using these tools to communicate with students about mental health.

Moose Jaw saw mostly declines in home It was mostly downward-pointing red arrows for home sale data in Moose Jaw in March, with the only green arrow being a 3.4-per-cent jump in home prices. There were 54 homes sold in Canada’s Most Notorious City last month, a decline from 59 units sold last March, data from the Saskatchewan Realtors Association (SRA) shows. There were 80 new listings in March, a drop from 86 units during the same time in 2021. Furthermore, the inventory of available homes for sale stood at 143 units, which declined from 177 homes compared to last March. That number of available homes meant there were 2.65 months of supply available in the city, which was a drop from 3.07 months of supply last March. Meanwhile, most homes stayed on the market for 45 days. The average price of a home in Moose Jaw last month was $243,912, a jump from $234,156 in March 2021. The 10-year average for this month shows there are usually 43 homes sold, 94 new homes listed, 247 units in inventory, 6.37 months of supply, 65 days of homes on the market, and the average house price is $244,420. Year-to-date, there have been 122 home sales, 199 new listings, 139 units in inventory, 3.43 months of supply, 52 days of homes on the market and the average house price is $259,809. The 10-year average for year-to-date statistics shows there are usually 102 homes sold by March, 232 new homes listed, 227 homes in inventory, 7.29 months of supply, 69 days of homes on the market and the average house price is $229,310. SRA perspective Province-wide, sales and new listings trended up

in March compared to levels seen during the past few months, but the level of new listings coming onto the market was lower than last year and below the 10-year average, according to the SRA. This caused the sales to new listings ratio to rise and prevented any notable change to the supply situation. With 5,648 units in inventory across Saskatchewan, levels are nearly 30-per-cent lower than traditionally seen in March. “March is typically the month that we start to see more people listings their homes adding supply to the market. While we did see more new listings compared to the winter months, it hasn’t been enough compared to the sales to price gains in the market,” said SRA CEO Chris Guérette. Economic conditions have improved across most sectors, and with that, the province has seen gains in employment and reductions in unemployment, she continued. This, along with relatively low lending rates, is likely suptinued strength in demand. While sales did ease in March over last year’s record levels, they remained 40-per-cent higher than long-term trends. “As we move more into the spring market, supply will be a crucial factor. Should supply levels start to improve, we could see more balanced conditions slowing the upward pressure on prices,” Guérette added. “However, this transition could take longer than expected, especially in our largest cities, which is why we’ve begun outreach to our industry partners to discuss how to address these supply shortages.”

Snowfall Provides Some Optimism

AGRIMART

EXPRESS A spring blizzard affected southern Manitoba and parts of southern Saskatchewan with heavy snow and strong winds last week. According to Environment Canada, overall, parts of Southeastern Saskatchewan were expected to see up to 50 centimeters of snowfall. Some areas of Manitoba were expected to receive up to 80 centimeters. With snow expected to have fallen until Saturday evening, the southwest is expected to receive 10-20 centimeters of snow. Matthew Struthers, Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Crops Extension Specialist, discusses Saskatchewan’s current moisture situation based on this winter’s overall snowfall. “Looking at this winter, there was a lot of snow that fell in the northern half of the province, which is really

good to see, and is more typical with what we usually see. Last year we didn’t have that, so it’s nice to see that happen. However, there was very little snow in some parts of the southwest.” As parts of southwestern Saskatchewan did not receive as much snowfall as other parts of the province, especially the northern regions, the agriculture sector Since April is still very early, soil moisture levels have not yet been reported for the province. Struthers noted, however, that there is a great deal more runoff full dugouts. He also added that If the temperature stays consistent and doesn’t warm up too quickly this spring, the dugout water should last for a while, which is a very positive sign.

Most producers welcomed the snow last week, as it will add some moisture before seeding. Cattle producers, however, are certainly affected by harsh spring events during calving season, which makes an already Struthers also pressed the importance of being cautious around seeding too early. He explained that some producers started seeding quite early last year, which proved to be challenging for some who had to reseed due to some late spring storms. “It’s important to be conservative this year. I hope there aren’t too many acres being seeded early, since we don’t know what the weather will look like in the next few weeks. My recommendation would be to hold off a little bit.”

‘Five Little Indians’: Moose Jaw Public Library Book Club discusses residential school novel

Conversation surrounding residential schools and the question by the book’s author: ‘Why can’t they just get over it?’ By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com The Moose Jaw Public Library’s Book Club met to discuss “Five Little Indians” by Michelle Good, a bestseller that has won multiple awards including the 2020 Governor General’s Literary Award for Fiction and, most recently, the 2022 Canada Reads competition. Michelle Good is the daughter and granddaughter of residential school survivors and a member of Saskatchewan’s Red Pheasant Cree Nation. She earned a law degree in her 40s, a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing in her 50s and published her debut novel in her 60s – after nine years of writing and editing. The question she set out to answer was, ‘Why can’t they just get over it?’ Book club members unanimously agreed that the novel has a deep emotional impact and that it permanently changed their perspective on residential schools and those who were “educated” in them. Note: The novel deals with sensitive topics such as racism. Please read this article with understanding, discernment, and comprehension of the conversation during the book club meeting around the situations depicted in the novel. “Five Little Indians” is not a retelling of trauma experienced in the Vancouver Island residential school its protagonists attended. Rather, it deals with the aftermath – and what it’s like just to try and live after that kind of childhood. One book club participant said the novel evoked memories of growing up in Vancouver. Everyone knew that the downtown eastside was full of alcohol abuse, they

could not cope with his removal. Their marriage failed, and they were emotionally unable to respond appropriately to his homecoming. These memories are naturally recounted as the make careers, form relationships, and reconnect with their culture. Good spent eight years representing residential tionalized, but the stories are all real – and unexaggerated. “What I can’t get out of my head,” a book club member said, “is the image of six-year-olds waiting for their families at Christmas, and not understanding that their parents don’t actually know where they are.” Another participant said that the book effectively answered the question, ‘Why can’t they just get over it?’ It was expressed that a normal childhood and family support were taken away from these children. All the participants agreed that regardless of background, the novel shows that everyone who wasn’t in the residential schools

struggles to understand the experience of survivors. An example in the novel is one Indigenous survivor whose boyfriend, also Indigenous, can’t understand her. He complains about her emotional withdrawal and her dential school, but have been unable to communicate with him just how it shaped them. At the end of the discussion, the book club went downstairs to the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery’s permanent collection of the shoes from the steps of St. Andrew’s United Church. Started in recognition of the 215 unmarked graves found at the Kamloops residential school, the St. Andrew’s display quickly became a larger symbol for the community of Moose Jaw of the ongoing need to be an active part of reconciliation. “Five Little Indians” by Michelle Good can be borrowed from the Moose Jaw Public Library in multiple formats. It is available for purchase virtually everywhere books are sold. The next MJPL Book Club meeting is Wednesday, May 4 at 2:30 to discuss “Reproduction”, a novel by Canadian author Ian Williams.

“The book really made me think about how none of us ever thought to ask why (residential school survivors) were drinking,” they said, “and how they ended up that way. And after reading this, (my thought was), ‘that’s probably what I would be doing too.’” Another participant talked about a part of the book where residential school graduates were dropped off at a

bus stop with no money, no connections, no guidance at all – at 16 years old. “Even if the residential school had been a good experience, you know, without trauma, and with a real education,” the participant said, “even then, how could they be expected to do well? They weren’t prepared, they had no one to call. They were just a bunch of teenagers dropped off on the streets of downtown Vancouver.” Yet another emotional impact came from the story of Kenny, taken from home at six years of age to attend residential school. He escapes from school and returns home

They can also cess rate for new gardeners. design, build, and maintain landscaping, as well as offer advice and solutions for every gardening need. Landscaping and yard maintenance quotes are free within Moose Jaw, and Cornell said they offer maintenance discounts for seniors.

Keon Garden Centre are selling many bulbs right now. Owner Marcy Duffey said the bulbs are carefully chosen for hardiness and as close to a guarantee of success as they can get. (from Facebook) Keon Garden Centre - 1645 Stadacona Street West Keon Garden Centre has been open for about a month, said owner Marcy Duffey, and their plants are coming along to be ready for outdoor planting. The annuals can’t be planted outside until May long weekend. Trees and shrubs haven’t yet been delivered for the same reasons, but Duffey doesn’t think it will be long. Strawberries are growing in the greenhouse and will be ready in about a month, along with hundreds of other perennials. “We grow over 500 varieties of perennials right here on site,” Duffey said. “We always start our stuff from two- or three-year-old roots, so they’re a good blooming not a lot of independent greenhouses that do all their own perennials – we have for 35 years, so we’ve gotten quite good at it.” By the end of May, Keon Garden Centre will have a full selection of every type of garden plant that will grow in Saskatchewan. They also carry tools, irrigation supplies, décor, bulk aggregate, pavers and stones, fountains, and more. Keon carries several brands of vegetable seeds, both organic and GMO. Duffey explained that “genetically carefully bred for greater hardiness – they have thicker stems, resistance to common blights and viruses, and/or produce more produce. The trade-off is that GMOs someand specially-bred plants is what most people should look for.

Cornell Design & Landscaping are selling safe-painted succulents and cacti as a fun promotion. The plants will eventually shed the colouring. (from Facebook) Cornell Design & Landscaping – 11 km south of Moose Jaw on #2 Highway Cornell Design & Landscaping also opened in midMarch and has been busy raising little annual and perennial sproutlings for adoption to a forever home. However, they were also growing through the winter, and those plants are ready to go now. “We have hundreds of tropical houseplants that we grew over the winter, so they’re all ready to go,” said Leslie Cornell. She is particularly pleased with their dragon tails, which are interesting and don’t need a lot of care to grow well. Cornell said they grow many of their plants to appeal to the “unique market.” “We also have succulent plants, lots and lots of succulent plants that are ready to go home with people. Succulents are pretty cool,” she said. “The nice thing about succulents for the prairies is that quite often succulents ten is like a desert where we get really hot days and cool nights.” Growing annual plants such as petunias can be challenging here, Cornell said, because they aren’t hardy in

Could we make friends someday with scam callers?

There is another side to be pondered in this business of telephone and internet scams. What do we really know about the voices that come uninvited into our home at all times of the day and night, rousing us from a sound sleep or interfering with a lunch of soup and sandwich or supper of ham and scalloped potatoes? Have we ever stopped to think about the men and women who certainly must have ear damage or a bruised ego from having the phone slammed down in their ears. And likely they have heard words and orders that are unfamiliar to their own vocabulary — but the meaning is clear — stop calling this number. I have no idea of the individual circumstances through which these voices are living. Are they bothering perfect strangers with far-fetched stories because it is the only way they can make money with which to support their families? Are

they lacking in the education to qualify them for better jobs or are they raising money to go to university or a trade school — maybe where they would learn how to repair my damaged Microsoft computer (which I don’t have.) Are these invisible human beings thinking that if young students in our country can sell magazine subscriptions to earn funds to pay for university then why shouldn’t they try selling us something as well — shares in a gold mine perhaps as long as we send money so the claim can there being gold in “them thar hills?” Are their mothers and fathers proud of their offspring who are going through life trying to scam grannies out of money to bail a relative out of jail. It turns out, of course, that the relative is not in jail or in any kind of trouble, but what granny wouldn’t consider helping out a grand-

child?

we’d have to think twice about providing bail money. And I’m sorry they can’t get their inheritance unless they raise a few dollars from perfect strangers. Maybe we could be friends someday if they would only stop calling so many times with the same tall tales. Or better yet, they could get a real job and put all this scamming talent to better use. We’d all win. They wouldn’t be shunned for doing their jobs and we wouldn’t be bothered time and time again by so many imperfect strangers who don’t have the courtesy to answer after we say “hello.”

week, do they work out of their homes, in large warehouses, or from their cars? How much money per hour do they earn? How much money does each scammer get to take home from a really good day of hoping we will be gullible enough to send them money to stop the RCMP from stopping by because we ordered a parcel and haven’t paid the fees? place the telephone receiver whether I am depriving some child of a hearty breakfast or the opportunity to buy a new jacket for school? I doubt I would wonder for very long, just long enough to remember we don’t have a VISA card, a Microsoft computer, an unpaid Amazon bill, we don’t owe the Canada Revenue Agency any ignored taxes, we don’t have any relatives in jail and

PART 2 of a 2 PART SERIES:

A Review of the January 2022 Harvard University and Stanford University Research Into a Connection Between Epstein Barr Virus and Multiple Sclerosis The Stanford Study Proposes “Infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is the trigger for the development of multiple sclerosis.” Prepared By Richard Dowson, B.Ed., Ed. Dip, M.Ed., Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, CANADA There are Two Strains of Epstein Barr Virus, EBV-1 and EBV-2 The strains are based on the variations in their genetic code. EBV-1 readily transforms B cells, (B lymphocytes) in culture while EBV-2 does poorly at transforming. EBV-1 is common in Europe, Asia (including China), North and South America. Contrast: The MS prevalence rate in China in 2013 was 5.2 cases/100,000 population. The PR in Europe is 142.81/100,000 and 117.49/100,000 in the Americas. The rates of EBV and low PR of MS in China is contradictory. Consider Zhang, G.X., et al, (2020), in their Paper, “Incidence and prevalence of multiple sclerosis in China and other Asian countries” writes, “… Asian populations presenting 80% less risk of MS…” compared to Europe and the Americas. The Paper continues, “Prevalence rates in China range between 0.88 cases/100,000 population in 1986 and 5.2 cases/100,000 population in 2013.” In “Jacases/100,000 population…” in 2013. Chinese don’t usually keep indoor pets. Japanese do. Contrast: If EBV-1 was a culprit, MS prevalence in China would be like that in Europe. Contrast: EBV-2 is most common in Alaska, Papua New Guinea and Central Africa. MS prevalence in the do not seem to agree with the proposal. The numbers are not even similar. Almost everyone has EBV. Relatively speaking, almost no one has MS. EBV Challenges – Continued Chuck Dinerstein, MD, MBA, writing for the American Council on Science and Health, January 25, 2022 says, MS is that most people with EBV do not develop MS.” He adds, “So when we speak of EBV as a cause of MS, no causative smoking gun.” Alan Rickerson, formerly of the Institute of Cancer Studies at U of Birmingham, “… only a tiny sliver of people infected with the virus end up developing multiple sclerosis, so some other trigger or triggers must also be in Contrast: An environmental factor’, in the form of a virus, is referenced by some MS researchers. Is the ‘environmental factor’ a demyelinating virus. Indoor Pets – Farm Dogs – Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) The most common demyelinating virus present in regions of high prevalence of MS is CDV. Indoor pet dogs and cats, and farm dogs are common in Canada, the Northern United States and Europe. Indoor pet dogs and cats, and farm dogs are not common in sub-Saharan Africa or among Inuit. Can Zoonosis Happen? As an environmental factor, casual interactions during adolescence with a pet or farm dog while the animal is shedding or the immune system is compromised due to illness, such as Mono, provides an opportunity for Zoonosis. Like all illnesses, several factors are at play. A Review of the January 2022 Harvard and Stanford Research into a Connection Between Epstein Barr Virus and Multiple Sclerosis EBV has an established connection to certain cancers. Evidence is abundant for EBV related malignancies in Inuit and people with Endemic Burkitt Lymphoma in Sub-Saharan Africa. MS does not appear to be directly related to malignancies of epithelial tissue or tumors. As Domenico Plantone notes in his 2015 Paper “Concurrence of Multiple Sclerosis and Brain Tumors” in Frontiers in Neurology wrote, “Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a nervous system…”. Plantone adds, “Although the co-existence of MS and brain tumors has been long described, many doubts regarding their possible causal association persist.”

Immune Suppressant Drugs – Effect on People with MS Lebrun and Rocher, in their 2018 Paper, “Cancer Risk in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis: Potential Impact of Disease-Modifying Drugs”, reviewed some MS Drugs. They wrote, “Because of their action on the immune system, and due to a lack of available long-term data, a special warning of the potential risk of cancer…” is placed on drugs. This Paper has no opinion on MS Treatment. Is a Weakened the Immune System a Factor in Zoonosis? ‘Mono’, caused by EBV, is most common in teenagers and those in their 20s. It seems to occur in children but is asymptomatic. Being ‘most common in adolescents’ is an important consideration. This is the common age range curs, with exposure to Canine Distemper Virus, a variant of the Measles Virus. (Uhl 2019) Olivia Hatton et al, write, “Human B cells are the primary targets of Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection.” This should be considered when looking at the immune system and a Zoonotic ‘transfer’ infection of a ‘measles like’ virus. Reference: Olivia Hatton et al, “The Interplay Between Epstein Barr Virus and B Lymphocytes: Implications for Infection, Immunity, and Disease” Immunology Resources, 2014) A strong immune system protects against Zoonosis. The question remains, does Infectious Mononucleosis weaken the immune system thus providing an opportunity for Zoonosis? Mononucleosis and a Weakened Immune System – Considerations ing white blood cells, B lymphocytes (B Cells) that make 4 (HHV-4) that causes Infectious Mononucleosis (Mono) is a challenging story. As Dr. Kerkar notes, “… mononucleosis, the virus itself invades the B cells and takes control of the functions.” He continues, “This may also lead to an imbalance between the virus transformation and the immune system that leads to the development of various lymphoproliferative disorders.” Contrast: EBV can cause ‘chaos’ in the immune system making it a risk factor for MS. Mono weakens the immune system putting the individual in a critical position for ‘exposure’ to an environmental risk factor. As Kerkar writes, “…the mononucleosis also weakens the immune system thereby reducing the mononucleosis increases the incidences of autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus.” Contrast: Personal interviews, People with MS one person with MS never had ‘Mono’. Dr. Kerkar concludes, “Epstein Barr virus directly invades the B cells of the immune system and controls their function through changes in the transcription factor. Mononucleosis weakens the immune system.” Reference: Kerkar, Pramod, M.D., FFARCSI, DA, “Does Mono Weaken the Immune System?”, General Open Article, “Does Mono Weaken Your Immune System? Contrast: Lupus (Systemic lupus erythematosus – a systemic autoimmune disease) John B. Harley and Judith A. James write, “Our previous work has demonstrated that years before diagnosis abnormal autoantibody responses are present in the sera of patients who will subsequently develop lupus…”. They ic autoantibodies arise from particular antibodies directed against Epstein-Barr virus…” John B. Harley and Judith A. James, conclude, “… an immune response against Epstein-Barr virus being important in at least some patients for the initiation of lupus

autoimmunity.” Epstein Barr Virus and Pet Dogs Canine Distemper forms the foundation of the Cook and Dowling Hypothesis. Here is a review of EBV and pets. In the June 2012 issue of Virology, a team from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine and the Perelman School of Medicine studied EBV and dogs. Nicola Mason, an assistant professor of medicine and pathobiology at Penn Vet wrote, “Discovering that dogs can get infected with this virus like people do may provide us with a long-sought-after model for EBV-associated disease.” In the Shih-Hung Huang et al Paper (Virology, June 2012), they note domestic dogs and humankind share a history of at least 15,000 years. The researchers learned, “… dogs develop spontaneous lymphoid malignancies including DLBCL (Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma) and Burkitt-like lymphoma that share remarkable similarities in biological, behavioral, genetic and cytogenetic characteristics with their counterpart subtypes in humans…” Breed of dog plays a role. They write, “Golden Retrievers, Labradors and Miniature Schnauzers were also over-represented in the lymphoma group. Mix-breeds were over-represented in the non-lymphoma group.” Breen and Modiano write, “These data suggest that humans and dogs share an ancestrally retained pathogenetic basis for cancer and that cytogenetic evaluation of canine tumors may provide greater insight into the biology of tumorigenesis.” Contrast: EBV ‘like condition’ in dogs is associated with malignancies, not demyelination. References: Breen, Matthew and Jaimie F. Modiano, “Evolutionarily conserved cytogenetic changes in hematological malignancies of dogs and humans—man and his best friend share more than companionship”, Chromosome Research 2008;16(1):145-54. Reference: Huang, Shih-Hung, et al, “Evidence of an oncogenic Gammaherpesvirus in domestic Dogs”, Virology 2012 June 5, 427 (2), 107-117. Zoonosis, Canine Distemper Virus and Demyelination Canine Distemper Virus is, “a Demyelinating disease of the nervous system in which the myelin sheath of neurons is damaged. This damage impairs the conduction of signals in the affected nerves.” (Wikipedia) CDV is a single-stranded, non-segmented, negative-sense RNA virus belonging to the genus morbillivirus, of the Paramyxovirus family that includes measles and mumps. (Wikipedia) 2601) writes it, “… is known to cause a variety of disorders in dogs including demyelinating leukoencephalitis.” It is “…characterized by lesions with a variable degree of demyelination…”. Marc Vandevelde and Andreas Zurbriggen, in their 2005 Paper “Demyelination in canine distemper virus infection: a review”, published in Acta Neuropathology write, “Canine distemper virus (CDV) causes severe immunosuppression and neurological disease in dogs, associated with demyelination, and is a model for multiple sclerosis in man. In the early stage of the infection, demyelination is associated with viral replication in the white matter.” Contrast: There is no reference to EBV. Morbillivirus Paradox Canine Distemper Virus is a variant of the Measles virus (Uhl 2019) and both are ‘Morbilliviruses’. Comparisons can be drawn between Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) and Measles Virus (MV). The Measles vaccine can prevent CDV.

PART 2 of a 2 PART SERIES: A Review of the January 2022 Harvard University and Stanford University Research Into a Connection Between Epstein Barr Virus and Multiple Sclerosis ... Continued from page 8 Auto-immune Paradox Jane E. Libbey and Robert S. Fujinami, in Polymicrobial Diseases, point out that, “MV (measles virus) infection produces an immune system paradox. MV infection, while inducing lifelong immunity, also suppresses the immune system leading to an increase in susceptibility to other secondary infections.” CDV is a Variant of the Measles Virus. Contrast: Is MS a result of an inter-play between CDV and EBV? (Measles is used here as a ‘stand-in’ for Canine Distemper Virus.) Does Measles cause demyelination? Yes! Ohara, (Japanese Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1999 Oct;52(5):198-200) writes, “Data regarding the immunological abnormalities to measles virus (MV) and the presence of neurological complications induced by MV infection suggest that MV may be a causative agent of the demyelination observed in MS.” (MV is a stand-in for CDV) Although rare, Measles can cause acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) which is a demyelinating disease. Reference: Fazakerly, John K., and Robert Walker, “Virus demyelination”, Journal of Neuro-Virology, 9: 148–164, 2003. Contrast: Does a Zoonotic transfer of CDV suppress the immune system resulting in an EBV eruption of Mononucleosis? Or Does Mononucleosis suppress the immune system allowing for the Zoonotic transfer of CDV? What Thoughts arguments for the emergence of MS but a broader explanation would be helpful. The Epstein Barr virus alone does not appear to cause demyelination, the major feature of Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple Sclerosis is the most common demyelinating disease in humans. MS is characterized by demyelination in the brain, spine, and/or optic nerve. Canine Distemper Virus causes demyelination. Marc Vandevelde and Andreas Zurbriggen say Canine Distemper Virus “…is a model for multiple sclerosis in man…”. (Referenced) Summary The Alberto Ascherio team at Harvard and the Robinson and Steinman at Stanford have produced excellent, provocative studies. As Alberto Ascherio noted, a person is 32 times more likely to develop MS if they had Mono (Epstein Barr virus). This is stunning and an very important factor. Does EBV ‘trigger’ chaos in a hijacked immune system causing it to attack itself? OR Does Mono (EBV) weaken the immune system and open the subject to ‘infection’ by a demyelinating virus in the environmental? Where is the ‘smoking gun’? The Robinson and Steinman, Stanford EBV Study puts their position bluntly, “Infection with Epstein-Barr virus (Mono) is the trigger for the development of multiple sclerosis.” Contrast: Is the ‘trigger’ the Mono weakened immune system, thus providing an opportunity for the contraction of a demyelinating virus? Viral Induced Demyelination Stohlman and Hinton write: “…, an understanding of the diverse mechanisms used by viruses to induce demyelination may shed light into the etiology and pathogenesis of the common demyelinating disorder multiple sclerosis (MS). This notion is supported by the persistent view that a viral infection acquired during adolescence might initi-

ate MS after a long period of quiescence. Demyelination in both humans and rodents can be initiated by infection with a diverse group of enveloped and non-enveloped RNA and DNA viruses.” Reference: S.A. Stohlman and D.R. Hinton, (“Viral induced demyelination”, Brain Pathology) The Harvard ad Stanford Studies are excellent. Both bring the possibility of the discovery of the cause Multiple Sclerosis closer to realization. Test and Eliminate and Eliminate Hypothesis There is a plethora of theories on the cause of MS. Good science says, test and eliminate. First – test the 45-year-old Cook and Dowling Hypothesis; “Canine Distemper Virus (a Paramyxovirus and Variant of Measles or Morbillivirus) plays a major role in the etiology of MS,” adding “… zoonosis occurs, primarily, during adolescence (puberty)”. Zoonosis relates to keeping an indoor pet dog, cat or a farm dog. Method The technology exists. Use an “in situ-reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction Test” for the presence of Canine Distemper Virus in people with MS. No hypothesis on the Cause of MS can be considered until the 45-year-old Cook and Dowling Hypothesis is either proven or disproved. Author’s Note:

List released of narrow streets that will become one-sided parking this year Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

City hall has released a list of streets that will transition to one-sided parking this year because of how narrow these roads are. There are 35 total streets less than nine metres in width that the City of Moose Jaw wants to make one-sided so city and emergency vehicles can safely travel on them when responding to situations. This year, 16 streets will be restricted to one-sided parking, while 19 streets — all on South Hill — will be restricted next year. The public works and utilities department will use $8,000 from its 2022 operating budget to install street signs indicating the change in parking, while another $8,000 will come from the city manager’s contingency fund for a total of $16,000. The remaining installation work — estimated at $16,000 — will be referred to the 2023 operating budget deliberations. The cost per sign is roughly $900 per block. The streets suggested for completion this year include: 1000 block of Willow Avenue 1000 block of Third Avenue Northeast 1200 block of Third Avenue Northeast 1300 block of Third Avenue Northeast 900 block of Chestnut Avenue 1000 block of Chestnut Avenue 1100 block of Chestnut Avenue 900 block of Second Avenue Northeast 800 block of Third Avenue Northwest 900 block of Third Avenue Northwest 1000 block of Second Avenue Northwest

1100 block of Second Avenue Northwest 100 block of Redland Avenue 1200 block of Redland Avenue First leg of 1200 block of First Avenue Northwest First leg of 1200 block of Second Avenue Northwest City administration presented the list of affected streets during the April 11 regular council meeting. Counly which streets (are affected). I appreciate that they have been inspected already too, so we know they fall under the right criteria,” said Coun. Crystal Froese. This year, all the affected streets are in the northwest and northeast corners of the city, while the remaining areas are on South Hill, said Fire Chief Rod Montgomery. There is also one particularly busy street that is less than nine metres in width that should be addressed but is outside this project’s scope, so city administration will bring that road to the 2023 budget discussion. City hall plans to give residents on the affected streets a three-month heads-up before making any changes, while any issues that pop up will be reviewed and a continued. “I don’t think we could ever get consensus when we look street by street, but we certainly want to provide people with enough time frame to let them know that this will be happening this year,” Montgomery added. Coun. Jamey Logan agreed with the project but thought it needed to happen “as expeditiously as possi-

agreement for use of new courts Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Pickleball players will be pleased to learn city hall and the erns all aspects of using the forthcoming courts — including future expansion. During its April 11 regular meeting, city council voted to approve the licence agreement between the City of Moose Jaw and Pickleball Moose Jaw Inc. for the use, operation, maintenance and future expansion of the new outdoor courts at the Kinsmen Sportsplex site. Council also agreed to waive participant fees for the new pickleball courts for 2022, authorize the mayor and city clerk to sign the agreement and establish a pickleball capital reserve fund as outlined in the agreement. The agreement starts May 1 and expires on April 30, 2027. During the 2022 budget deliberations, council approved a proposal to construct six new outdoor courts at a site adjacent to the Sportsplex, with money to come from the general parks dedication reserve. “Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in North America, and the construction of the new courts in 2022 will be a welcome addition to our outdoor amenities,” said Derek Blais, parks and rec director, during the meeting. from Pickleball Moose Jaw over the past three months explained. The agreement creates exclusive use times and rates for the club while ensuring that city programming and public drop-in use are available, he continued. Meanwhile, both parties will partner on future capital expenditures through the capital reserve fund. Annual contributions from the club on a per-member basis will fund the reserve account, along with revenues from advertising, sponsorships and donations. Starting in 2023, the per-participant fee will be $31.50 and will increase two per cent yearly. Meanwhile,

member will be $30. There are about 120 members this year, while that could increase to 300 people in the future, Blais’ report noted. From 2022 to 2026, the expected revenue from annual participant fees is $25,230, while the expected revenue from annual capital contribution fees is $27,000. Pickleball Moose Jaw will be fully responsible for any extra costs for future court expansion, while re-surfacing or equipment replacements beyond the reserve account will be cost-shared 50-50, Blais said. “It is recommended that the 2022 participant fees be waived due to the uncertainty of when the courts will be operational and to allow Pickleball Moose Jaw to continue to grow their membership,” he stated. The parks department has issued requests for quotations for the surfacing and fencing of the new courts, with the department to award the project by late April, Blais said. The goal is to start construction this spring so the courts are operational before the end of summer. “I think both parties are really excited with the design and feel that these courts are going to make event-hosting opportunities a reality,” he added. “We’re really constructing them the right way.” Coun. Dawn Luhning was somewhat concerned with waiving the per-participant fee this year, pointing out that members are already playing their games elsewhere and paying fees to play there. City hall is waiving the fees this year at the new venue because it will not be available for most of the season, explained Blais. Meanwhile, even though players are competing elsewhere — in school gyms, for example — they still pay fees to play at those places. “I think this is great. This has taken a long time to come to fruition,” said Coun. Kim Robinson, himself a pickleball player. “I still think we’re a couple years behind everybody else (though, especially) when we see courts in small places like Southy and Riverhurst.”

Demand will dictate whether city installs summer ice this year Jason G. Antonio Moose Jaw Express

City hall could offer summer ice to hockey teams and skating clubs this year if the demand is high enough but will wait for further feedback before deciding. ment recently met with all ice-based user groups to discuss how their seasons went this year and their future requirements for ice time, said Derek Blais, director of parks and rec, during the April 11 regular council meeting. Based on this discussion, the department created a form that it wants all current and prospective ice users — especially those who access summer ice mand for in-city summer ice, he continued. mid-April, Blais added, and will review them to see if opportunities exist to offer summer ice at Mosaic Place. The issue of summer ice also arose during a council meeting last August. During a post-meeting media scrum, city manager Jim Puffalt explained that Moose Jaw has not offered summer ice in the past because Caronport and Notre Dame in Wilcox offer that service. That is why teams and other communities go to those venues for summer ice, three-on-three tournaments and hockey camps. “So, if we don’t have those happening here, then it’s hard to justify putting in the ice because, as you know, we pay demand charges on the arena,” he said. “So as soon as that (ice) plant starts up, that’s the amount (of money) we pay on electricity. “So we have to be able to make sure the ice is being used, because otherwise, it’s really expensive if it just sits there.” Puffalt added that hockey interest drops off when spring arrives, while the use of ice at Mosaic Place is already falling. During the same scrum, Mayor Clive Tolley pointed out that demand will drive whether Moose Jaw offers summer ice. “If you’re a person out there that wants to rent summer ice, please get in contact with the City of Moose (Jaw’s) parks and recreation department and “And then once we know what the requirements are, then we’ll make a plan to provide that ice.”

Rural group wants permission to connect to city’s potable water system Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Nearly 100 property owners in two area rural municipalities will have to wait a while longer to learn whether the City of Moose Jaw will provide them with city water. The Red Lake Water Utility Association approached city hall last fall with a request to connect to the city’s water distribution system through a water co-operative, which 80 property owners in the rural municipalities of Baildon and Moose Jaw support. The engineering services department informed the association about the possible costs based on the current water prices. Meanwhile, the association hired an engieters. It also proposed a connection to the 250-millimetre PVC water main on Ninth Avenue Southwest between Highway 363 and 15 Wing Air Base. After further discussions, the association sent city adfor a potable water connection site, water costs, and a chance to speak to city council. City administration also informed the group that the fee Moose Jaw could charge is $3.2985 per cubic meter of water consumed based on this year’s rates. A council report indicated the association is asking for 15.154 litres per second of water from the City of water co-op implement a storage reservoir and pumping station near the connection point to ensure this connection is viable. This would protect the association if the 250 mm water main failed and cut off supply. Association spokesman Christie Whelan spoke to city council during its April 11 regular meeting and asked for a connection to the potable water pipeline. Instead, council voted unanimously to ensure negotiations continued between the association and city hall for connection to the city’s potable water distribution system. Once city hall has shared further information with the group, a draft agreement could come to council’s next

meeting for approval. Presentation Once council gives the association approval to connect to the water system, the rural organization will start collecting funds from its subscribers and pursue an engineering study so it can apply for provincial and federal grants, Whelan said. The engineering department has given the association certain stipulations to meet, while the association is pleased with the proposed cost for water consumed, he continued. The association is close to 100 subscribers, and once the pipeline connection is made, that number will likely jump 35 per cent because people who were hesitant about joining will see what’s happening and jump on board, Whelan remarked. “There is a lot of interest in the RMs around us as well. It’s very dry. A lot of wells, all the coulees, all the dugouts — some of them have a little water in them now, noting his two wells are going dry. “It doesn’t take a rockThere is a waterline from Briercrest to the Baildon Hutterite colony, but because the colony is a big user of water, that line is maxed out, Whelan added. That line is starting to run out of water, so even the Hutterites are interested in joining this new endeavour. While the association wants this project to move forward quickly, city hall’s next step is to look at the available city infrastructure and determine if the water system can handle the association’s water needs, said Bevan Harlton, director of engineering. “My next step is to go back to my modeller and ask what we can provide to these people without compromis-

City hall starts process to pursue titles of properties with unpaid taxes Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

There are 145 properties that have accumulated nearly $1 million in outstanding tax arrears during the past year, so to address the situation, city hall wants to pursue those property titles. During the April 11 regular council meeting, city council voted unanimously to authorize city administration to make an initial application for those tax titles based on the provisions in the Tax Enforcement Act. This will allow city hall to continue with further tax enforcement proceedings by pursuing outstanding properties with tax liens registered with ISC Land Registry. The tax enforcement process is an annual activity begun each year against properties with taxes either unpaid or in arrears as of Jan. 1 of the year following the tax levy,

to council. The process begins with advertising the list of all properties with arrears greater than 50 per cent of the previous year’s tax levy. If the taxes remain unpaid, city hall registers liens against the advertised properties. This initial application for titles is for liens placed on properties that fell into arrears last year, he continued. Once all the steps in the enforcement process are completed, the city usually ends up acquiring one to two property titles. While the number of properties that remain in arrears is 145, the number at this stage of tax enforcement last year was 135, Acker said. Meanwhile, the next step of the tax enforcement process is the initial application for title. take two years before the city takes a property title. This usually gives property owners time to pay their outstanding taxes. According to Acker’s report, 145 properties have outstanding tax arrears totalling $930,362.17 as of March 30. While most properties owe taxes under $10,000, 15 properties have outstanding tax arrears ranging from $10,267.34 to $67,982.76. Those 15 properties include: 40 Goldenglow Drive: $10,267.34 1291 Simcoe Street: $10,483.46 1343 Princess Crescent: $12,602.09 1684 General Crescent: $14,933.11 1049 Simcoe Street: $10,026.44 1030 James Street: $10,029.01 33 High Street West: $37,269.69 48 River Street West: $34,823.16 1215 Athabasca Street East: $12,515.54 1105 Athabasca Street East: $11,433.27 1102 Coteau Street West: $45,476.92 A vacant residential land with the legal description of lots 1-9,11-20 BLK 172 Plan OLD 96: $67,982.76 21 Everton Crescent: $12,250.15 1195 13th Avenue Southwest: $11,252.18 690 Seventh Avenue Southeast, parcel B: $42,809.50

Installation of historic 120-year-old bell setback

Instead, city hall and committee members company to complete the bell stand and install it. The 120-year-old bell was supposed to have been housed in a stand composed of steel, 15 feet high with a base of 10 square feet, and be installed on the northeast corner of Mosaic Place on First Avenue Northwest. A plaque is supposed to be installed near the 1,500-pound bell to highlight its history and Steady Metalworks had indicated it could complete the work for $17,775.44, but it is unknown if that cost will still hold. summer after city hall learned that a lack of employees at Steady Metalworks and snarled supply chains had delayed the stand’s installation. The structure was originally set for installation last October.

Grandpa Parker and World War One By Richard Dowson, Moose Jaw

The 105th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge was April 9 to 12 and my grandfather, Walter J. Parker was there. He shouldn’t have been, but he was there. In fact, none of them should have been there. The First World War should have never happened. It was a war among ruling cousins and relatives — wealthy Kings, Czars and Hanger-on. They should have put the Royalty of Europe a big gymnasium somewhere in selves. Instead, Canadians, British and Commonwealth soldiers and volunteers went to their death doing their duty for King and Country. They left their homes on the Prairies, in small towns and lumber camps and went off to a long, meaningless, forgotten war.

The 23rd Regiment badge was a wolf in a canoe. My Grandfather was a proud member to the 23rd Regiment, Northern Fusiliers Militia in Parry Sound. He’d gone to Niagara-on-the-Lake many times for summer drills. He even put his wedding on hold in 1910 to complete summer training.

My grandparents were living in Burks Falls, Ontario when he signed up for regular service in January 1916. Lt. Col. Arthur from Powassan was putting together a Battalion. They were the 162 Battalion, all proud to be “Northern Timber Wolves”. at Sundridge, Ontario practicing to be soldiers. By June 1916 they were in Niagara-on-the-Lake practicing while his wife and four children struggled to make ends meet, living with a brother in Grimsby. In November 1916 Grandpa sailed for England and once there the Battalion was split up and became reinforcements for the thousands who had already been killed. They never knew that. Because of his age, Grandpa Parker was assigned to the No. 3 Pioneer Battalion as a teamster. He went to France in February 1917 and was at Vimy Ridge on April 17, 1917 – building roads, hauling ammunition, digging trenches, getting shelled, hauling bodies – hating every minute. By August 1917 he was at Hill 70 near Lens. As Veterans Affairs write, “The to even the most battle-hardened of soldiers. Poison gas was widely used, often forcing the men to gasp for air inside their restrictive respirators as they struggled to see the advancing enemy through their fogged-up goggles. Many of our soldiers had to engage in desperate hand-to-hand combat against the tenacious German attackers who managed to reach the Canadian defensive lines.” Grandpa Parker was gassed at Hill 70. He suffered ‘shell-shock’. He was in a Field Hospital on August 25, 1917, a year and a half after proudly signing up in Burks Falls. He was 39.

From there it was to a rehabilitation hospital in Kent, England. He was back in Canada the following summer. Life never got easy for Grandpa Parker. He never had a steady job and was sick and often in the Christie Street Veterans’ Hospital in Toronto, where he died in 1937. War is a terrible thing and the bastards that start them rarely pay the price. My mother was his oldest child. She was 8 and wrote him regularly. He wrote her. The following is a letter he wrote my

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express When the Moose Jaw U13 AA Warriors and Swift Current Broncos took the ice for an exhibition game at the start of the 2020-21 season, little did they know they had a near-future National Hockey League referee working their game. With the pandemic having kept hockey in general off the ice until mid-October, referees were just as interested in getting on the ice as players. And with the Sask Male AA Hockey League pre-seaonly in Moose Jaw, but in Saskatchewan, ing world laced up their skates to work the contest.

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express It was about a month before the Western Kids Open that Control Jiu Jitsu decided to try something a little different with their training regimen. With the local Brazilian jiu jitsu and martial arts school generally focussing on gi training, athletes from the club would take part in tournaments and perform well in that discipline of the sport. But the no-gi quer, largely because of the lack of experience local competitors possessed working without the traditional BJJ uniform. So Control coaches Donald Booth and Shane Kivol decided to mix things up a bit in preparation for one of their largest tournaments of the year. training and the kids just loved it, because it was something different and it’s a lot of fun,” Booth explained. “Then when it came to the tournament they were excited for it, were a lot better prepared for it, and ended up having a pretty massive showing.” Just how massive? Control Jiu Jitsu ended up sending in Regina, bringing home no less than 39 medals, including an impressive 21 gold

The end result saw the Jason Churchled school not only come home with an incredible haul of medals, but also the team history. “We were really proud of all our participants, some were competing for the ing with us for quite a while, because things were shut down due to the pandemic,” Booth said. “It was a really good a tournament as a team, so we were really

Beyond their no-gi work, Control also spent time focussing on simply developing a winning strategy based on previous tournaments. That led to a focus on positioning and gathering points as opposed to constantly battling for submissions, with impressive results. “We had taken a look at what wins at that age, and a lot of it is getting the takedown and working on your position,” Booth said. “We focussed really hard on that and we actually had a few matches where it was amazing to see the amount of points that were scored. I think the highest

was 31 points and one of our kids won a match 31-0. I couldn’t believe it when I looked at the score, I knew he was doing well, and it was ‘holy smokes, that was something else.’ “Our adult program is heavy pressure and kind of wearing the other guy down and grinding them into the mat, so we’re teaching our kids how to do that and it’s really paying off.” The key now will be to continue working to improve and ideally see similar results the next time they take the mats at a tournament this coming June. “It’s combat sports, sometimes it’s your day and sometimes it’s not, but a lot of kids are really excited for the next tournament after what we did in Regina,” Booth said. “It’s given the kids who didn’t too. They saw the success of their teammates and with some luck we’ll have an even larger team next time.” For more information on Control Jiu Jitsu, be sure to visit their website at www. controlbjj.com and for full results from the Western Kids Open, be sure to check out www.smoothcomp.com/en/event/6698/ toplist.

Moose Jaw Tennis Club looking forward to busy season ahead Registration for outdoor season coming up later this month as play continues at indoor court Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express For much of its existence, the Moose Jaw Tennis Club has found itself at the whims of Mother Nature. When the season started, when games could be played and everything revolving around the sport depended on how nice the weather was at the local tennis courts, located in Crescent Park just off of Third Avenue Northeast. Over the last few years, though, all that has changed. The MJTC has been successfully operating an indoor court year-round in the Golden Ticket Sports Centre, and based on how much the facility has been used in recent times, the sport remains pretty popular even in these pandemic times. “The last few years people haven’t been going away for the winter, so it gets a lot of use,” said Robbie Little with the MJTC. “It’s a busy place, and we wish we had two courts, actually.” Of course, there’s nothing like getting outside and getting some fresh air and ex-

ercise — and with that, the tennis club is looking forward to another busy season once things warm up. To that end, they’ll be holding registration for both the outdoor season and indoor court on Apr. 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Golden Ticket. facility with a full-service clubhouse, with lights for evening play. Things open as soon as the weather is nice enough in spring and shut down when it gets too cool in the fall. Patrons will notice a major change to the club’s look in early June, when the City of Moose Jaw resurfaces and repaints the courts in a vibrant blue reminiscent of the Australian Open and the current colour scheme of the indoor court. “The courts are overdue for some work, and we thought it would be a nice change, something different,” Little said. Folks who are taking up the game for

take lessons from the MJTC’s six qualihappy to offer some tips and tricks to those “There’s lots of instruction available for new people coming out, you can try the game and maybe get a few lessons going and see how much you like it,” Little said.

“We just want to let everyone know that tennis is a sport for all ages and now in Moose Jaw you can play it all year round if you like, and we all have a lot of fun.” Outdoor registration gives you full access to the Moose Jaw Tennis Club facility, with fees for juniors 15-and-under at $100, students 16-and-older $150, adults $250 and families with two adults and all children 15-and-under living at home $500. Membership for the indoor court is separate from the outdoor season and includes year-round access to the sport at all times. The cost is $500 for adults, $1,000 for families and $400 for students. Silver membership — which entitles players to play indoors on evenings and weekends — is $300 for adults, $600 for families and $300 for juniors.

Obituaries / Memorials MCDOWELL, LENORE Lenore Josephine McDowell went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Saturday, April 9th, 2022 at the age of 91 years. Lenore was born at Davidson, SK on July 30th, 1930 and she lived there until moving to Moose Jaw, SK in the early 1950’s with her parents and sisters. She married Wilmer McDowell on Wednesday, June 20th, 1956 and they made their home on the family farm in the Grayburn district, where they farmed for many years. Lenore always loved the outdoors and took great enjoyment in her large garden. She was an animal lover and always had a dog and many cats while living on the farm. In later years she loved to travel and take bus trips, which brought much enjoyment to her life. She especially enjoyed her trips to Branson and family trips to Disneyland and Disney World. Lenore was a longtime member of the Moose Jaw Alliance Church and Gideons International. She was predeceased by her husband, Wilmer (2000); father, Rob Johnston (1989); mother, Fern (née: Olson; 2016); sisters, Isabelle Higgins and Shirley Andrews; brothers-in-law: Mick McLeod, Ralph Juhnke, George Higgins, Everett Andrews and Bob Crawford; and brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Keith and Muriel McDowell. Lenore is survived by her two sons, Wayne (Iris) and Gary (Tracy); three granddaughters, who brought much joy to her life: Ashleigh, Danae (Taylor) Epp and Aimee (Brendan Bonagofsky); two great-grandsons, Noah and Gabriel Epp; sisters: Jackie McLeod, Betty Juhnke, Paulette Crawford and Judy (Darl) Gray; as well as many nephews, nieces and cousins.

Bill Waud and Moose Jaw Friends – World War Two By Richard Dowson, Moose Jaw All photos courtesy of the Bill Waud Collection

World War Two stories usually focus on military personnel involved in direct action. But people had to maintaining and drive the vehicles; cook the food; moving materials, nurse the injured, and kept the airplanes in the air. These men and women are often overlooked. Moose Jaw Shop Teacher, now deceased, Bill Waud and friends, kept the Many former students will remember Bill Waud. After the War he worked at Elliot Motors, then taught Autobody at SIAT and later at Peacock High School. Bill was always a ‘car-guy’. After retirement he haunted local body shops, visiting and drinking coffee. He also rebuilt vehicles in his garage. Background George William ‘Bill’ Waud, an only child, was born in Outlook, Saskatchewan and grew up during the Great Depression of the ‘Thirties’. Times were tough. His dad was Section Foreman for the C.P.R., his mom, a homemaker. In 1937 the Dominion-Provincial Youth Training Program (DPYT) was created. The purpose was to provide apprenticeship training for men and boys age 16 to 30. In was also intended to keep the men off relief and out of trouble. Schools were scattered across the country. Some schools were established in Saskatchewan communities including Moose Jaw, Saskatoon, Lebret and Indian Head. Each school focused on several different subjects. Students were given a small weekaccommodation. Many attending DPYT School in Moose Jaw rented rooms on High Street. World War Two began in September 1939. In April 1940 the DPYT programs were changed and focused on training needs required in the war effort. In Moose Jaw the Dominion-Provincial Youth Training School evolved into an Aeronautical School. It was housed in the Douglas Block, a two story building where the Rexall Drug Store is now located. The school taught Aero-engine mechanics, Airframe and Radio Technology. School Superintendent A.E. Peacock was in charge of overall administration of the school. The Radio program was on the second

for target practice by future air-gunners. Bill maintained the Fairey Battle aircraft assigned to the Flight. Posted Overseas In May 1943 Bill and several of his friends were posted overseas to 1656 Heavy Conversion Unit at Topcliffe, Yorkshire, England. An HCU trained heavy bomber aircrew. The aircraft used for training at 1656 HCU were old, worn out Halifax Bombers. Bill and his buddies upgraded and maintained Halifax Bombers for the remainder of the war. Early versions of the Halifax Bomber had Rolls-Royce Merlin Engines. (One is on display at the WD Museum in Moose Jaw). Although good, the Merlin was under-powered. Bill and the lads were charged with replacing the four Halifax Merlin engines with new Bristol Hercules radial engines.

OPINION/COMMENTARY Happiness Catch-22: Wanting More Makes Us Unhappy

The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author,

by Nick Kossovan

hand heartbreaking poverty. My takeaway from my experience in India is that North Americans have no real prob-

It’s no secret that marketers and advertisers keep us wanting more and more. This manufactured insatiable appetite to consume has eroded our ability to have any gratitude for all we have compared to most of the world. Canadians’ lack of gratitude for living a 1st world lifestyle is truly appalling! In 2018 almost half the world lived on less than $5.50 a day. According to the World Bank, 3.4 billion people struggle to meet basic needs. Western society, especially North America, measures happiness and success by comparing oneself with others. For the most part, how we feel about our income, car, and house are moulded by our family, friends, colleagues, neighbours’ income, car, and house. It’s a national pastime to worry about relative status, which is why much of our consumerism revolves around trying to “look rich.” Marketing propaganda has made us believe we’re entitled to a certain lifestyle. If you’re not living the lifestyle you’re supposedly entitled to, we’re a failure. Not long ago, when I’d see somebody wearing a $5,000 watch, for example, I’d look at my $200 watch and think, “Maybe I’m doing something wrong.” Buying a Breitling® watch, an Audi S6 Sedan or a Lardini single-breasted blazer may make you feel happier. Like with my aforementioned watch example, it has a keeping-up-with-the-Joneses status effect. However, the happiness doesn’t last long, since eventually “the Jones” will either buy what you bought, or something regarded as “better.” This makes us want to buy more stuff to one-up “the Jones.” Let’s be honest; we all want to be “the Jones.” When the latest iPhone comes out, the lineup at Apple stores are people who have a functioning iPhone in their pocket, wanting to be “the Jones.” (FYI, we’re on

Moreover, we tend to compare ourselves to those who appear wealthier than us, an illusion easy to create, given the ease with which credit can be acquired today, coupled with social media. Thorstein Veblen, the 20th-century economist who coined “conspicuous consumption” and “invidious comparisons,” highlighted how people use luxury goods to display their social status, which in 2022 that people lived on treadmills of wealth accumulation, incessantly competing with others but not increasing their own well-being. Sounds familiar? Wanting, and therefore constantly seeking, recogman behaviour, which explains social media’s addictive $2,000 cheque to your favourite charity receives no so$1,500 COBB leather jacket on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter—you’ll receive likes, comments, and ego-stroking. You’ll temporarily be happy, but once the euphoria wears off, you’ll want to buy more recognition. When it comes to ever-changing fashion, marketing propaganda tells you that your clothes will give you the recognition you crave more than your character or actions. Unfortunately, our society has gotten to the point where we feel recognition, respect, and love are more driving a Tesla Model S than from doing good deeds or just being a good person. As social animals, status is naturally important to us. We’re anxious to stand out from the crowd—to tower over our peers, gain their respect, and “hopefully” their For hundreds of years, we’ve inherently known that consumption doesn’t lead to happiness. Every religion and philosophical tradition evangelizes this concept. Karl Marx’s most important insight was his theory of alien-

the self that comes from being part of a materialistic society, in which we are cogs in a vast market-based machine. how absurd some of the claims our hyper-consumerist society makes. We’re promised happiness with the next pay raise, the next new gadget—even the next sip of soda. In his book The Happiness Fantasy, Carl Cederström, a Swedish business professor, argues that companies and advertisers have promised satisfaction. Instead, they have led people into a joyless production and consumption rat race. As a result, though the material comforts of life have undeniably increased for Canadians, these “things” don’t give our life meaning. We give our life meaning when we: · give more than we take · help someone in distress · share · empathize · develop meaningful relationships we can count on · are a good son, daughter, or friend · serve others You could easily interpret this article as a lamentation against modern life and capitalism. For the record, I’m a very public proponent of democratic capitalism with a modern welfare state. My attempt here is to appeal to everyone to remember that material prosperity has both hunger for the trappings of prosperity to blind us from the timeless sources of true human happiness: faith, family, friendship, and work in which we earn our respecalways been, and will always be, the things that deliver the happiness I see so many trying to obtain through their consumerism. ____________________________________________ NKossovan

OPINION/COMMENTARY Re: Neuroscience: Psychedelics Brain Rewiring Study, Depression and Thought Pathways

The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author,

By David Stephen

Introduction: In any mental health episode, where is the destination of thought? When someone has a certain kind of reaction, where did thoughts go? Why do words hurt? Why can hurtful words not just be ignored, or dismissed? Why would a new spigot that gets damaged on an important weekend with guests cause a major meltdown? What is the relationship between that spigot and the eventual mood disorder? These questions belong to the thought pathway in the brain — how thoughts emerge, then transport, to hold this power. Words that hurt aren’t just sound but thought that goes somewhere. Damaged spigot isn’t just an object, but a thought version that goes to a destination of upset. Ordinarily, a device could bring happiness, if thoughts of it go somewhere, or could cause sadness if thoughts of it go elsewhere. What is the relationship between an external device and the brain, or words and the brain? This opinion editorial below proposes thoughts pathway in the brain.

health cases remain approximate. With some dosage of psilocybin, what does it change about thought motion and destination? What does it affect in the memory and how does it induce or inhibit regions of feeling effects? Thought pathways are vital because what thoughts are to the mind are different from neuroimaging displays. There are activity centers in the brain, but it is what

anything that goes to the memory to be known and stored. Or the uniform unit of what the memory stores is a form of thought. It is also a form of thought that goes to centers where feelings effects are determined like sadness, worry, anger and so on. Sometimes, a combination of feeling effect could result in anxiety, depression and others.

wherever suggestions are made, it is said to be proposed. There is no literature in neuroscience on how thought

thought, then its corresponding pathway can be useful for experiential comprehension. If someone has PTSD and a psychoactive substance makes changes, it can be interpreted that the thought equivalent of whatever caused it was removed from a destination. Thought pathways are important, outside the canopy of brain rewiring that may not say much, sometimes. How does an experience become PTSD? Before that question, how does anything external become something that is able to affect the mind? Going through war, illness, pain, a violent experience, harassment, discrimination or more, what version does the memory take and where else does it go? Theoretically, there is a thought version of everything. Or every internal and external sense gets converted to thought or a form of thought. It is the thought version of

And knowing where thoughts go could be useful to understand how to adjust approaches to mental health and how to give emotions to AI, for safety and entropy in self-driving cars. Opinion Editorial on Psilocybin There is a recent paper {https://www.nature.com/artirewires the brain {https://www.livescience.com/magwith depression, connecting isolated brain regions, shown by fMRI. This follows a convention of measured changes in the brain, via circuits but misses out something more important: the effect of psychedelics on thoughts.

The brain is constantly rewired, that a psychoactive substance is able to do so matters, but does not say much about what it means for how the thought, responsible for a problem – transports across the brain. Rewiring in the brain could mean different things: it could mean a new store or group in the memory. It could mean adjustments at some centers for feelings. It could mean a process of active to passive thought interchange. It could mean diversion of activity from one circuit to another and so on. If someone is depressed, thoughts may seem heavy, or static. Thoughts may also be on one thing. There are some

The sound of an alarm may cause panic for those who know what it means, but do nothing to others who don’t. It is the thought version of senses that goes from the memory, to the destination of feeling effect. So when danger is seen externally, this is integrated to thought, goes to the memory to be known as danger, then to the spot to feel The effect of psychedelics on this transport of thought across the brain or its pathways carries more importance, theoretically than to seek what is generally rewired. Psychedelics maybe could remove thought from the destination to feel depressed, or it could prevent the giver in the memory to not frequent the store or group where the trigger is, it may also make it such that whenever the heaviness comes, it becomes passive not active. fMRI still dominates how the brain is understood and answers required, but how thoughts transports, that fMRI does not exactly show remains a disadvantage towards important progress in mental health and many neurologic conditions.

Corporal Clarence Howard Foster Shaw of Moose Jaw Killed on Active Duty in England, May 28, 1942 By Richard Dowson Memories of those killed during WW 2 are often well documented. Such is the case for Corporal Clarence Howard Foster Shaw of Moose Jaw (#L7675, Royal Canadian Army Service Corps). The Saskatchewan Virtual War Memorial and the Canadian Virtual War Memorial contain information, as does the old Moose Jaw Times Herald. This story that ran in the Moose Jaw Times Herald, on Monday June 1, 1942 “Corporal C.H.F. Shaw Died of Injuries Received in England “Advice has reached the city (Moose Jaw) of the death of Corporal Clarence H. F. Shaw in England, from injuries received in the performance of his duties in the motor cycle corps of the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, in which he had served overseas since February 1940. “The deceased, who was educated at Prince Arthur School and the Technical High School, spent the whole of his life in Moose Jaw up until the time that he enlisted for active service. He was formerly a life guard at the Natatorium and was 27 years of age at his passing. “He is survived by his widow (Mrs. Jean Ruth Shaw), two small daughters, the Misses Reta Mae Shaw and Clarice Betty Shaw; his mother, Mrs. Minnie Shaw, and one sister, Mrs. Evelyn Jones.” He was living at 469 Stadacona Street East when he enlisted. At the time of his death the family was living at 428 Athabasca Street East, Moose Jaw. The reason is not known but families often ‘doubled-up’ during the war to save money and ‘make ends meet.’

The SVWM adds that he had been a Moose Jaw and was killed when struck by a machine gun bullet(s) while on exercise at Old Mill House, Bolney, Sussex, En-
