2022 Saskatchewan Festival of Words promises another incredible four-day event By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

The Saskatchewan Festival of Words is an annual four-day literary celebration in July that offers writing workshops, poetry readings, spoken word showcases, interviews, panels, book launches, and more. The Festival is a major summer event, now in its 26th year. In 2022, it will be both in-person and virtual. Organizers hope the blended format will increase accessibility — although they admit they are excited to mix and mingle with authors and fellow book-lovers in real physical space. “There’s still part of us that’s like, ‘Wow, it’s going to be reality of it is still setting in,” said Sarah Simison, executive director of the Festival of Words. Simison said that Moose Jaw’s hospitality has made its festival a draw for authors across the country — in addition to bringing as many renowned Saskatchewan authors as possible. The list of authors for 2022 includes David Bergen, Anthony Bidulka, Robert Currie, Khodi Dill, Tara Gereaux, Michelle Good, Warsha Mushtaq, Zarqa Nawaz, Jason Purcell, Kai Cheng Tom, and Lisa Bird Wilson. Emma Donaghue, author of international bestseller Room, will be in attendance virtually. The Festival of Words prioritizes the equity and the mental and emotional safety of marginalized groups such as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People Of Color), LGBTQ+, and disabled people over the comfort of others. They strive to be representative, bringing diverse authors to share perspectives that will advance the progress of social justice in Canada. Planning for the Festival begins in September, Simison said. or February. The Festival of Words staff is active throughout the year, however, and they don’t spend all that time only planning for their major three days in July — there are other events every month to keep fans engaged. “We normally have a Performer’s Café program. That was on hiatus for a little bit because of COVID,” Simison said. “We’re bringing (that) back in now, which is an open-mic night that hap-

here.” They also have a book club, which they moved online temporarily; writing workshops (there was one in February); youth programs with local school partnerships; and the Festival pursues partnerships with the Moose Jaw Public Library, the Moose Jaw of literature. That means there are things to do even now while you wait impatiently for July.

The 2022 Saskatchewan Festival of Words is July 14-17. It will be both in-person and virtual Amanda Farnel, the operations coordinator for the Festival, said that the pandemic has allowed them to experiment with an increased virtual presence. “Every author at the Festival is going to be livestreamed at least once,” Farnel said. “All of our sessions from the art museum theatre are going to be streamed, everything from the Mae Wilson is going to be streamed. So it’s allowing us this cool time to experiment and see what happens and see where we can take the Festival in the future.” The Festival will begin on July 14 with a series of workshops in which participants can learn about things like the connection between poetry and watercolour with Kevin Wesaquate; breathing life into characters with Michelle Good; or how to write a 10-minute There will be youth events including spoken word poetry basics with Khodi Dill; storytime with Kai Cheng Thom; and teen writing with Kristine Scarrow. And, of course, there will be plenty of interviews, readings, a book launch, a concert, trivia night, and more. Festival pass at www.festivalofwords.com.

New book features stories about early homesteaders on the Prairies Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Edna Banks was a young woman from the bustling city of Toronto who was keen on marrying her beau, Wilf, who had travelled to Moose Jaw in 1910 to homestead. She decided to follow her future husband and jumped mode of transportation and faced unique situations before reaching Saskatchewan. Getting married was memorable for Banks, as was glimpse of her new home was also an unforgettable expeBanks’ written recollections would probably have stayed buried in the Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan if it were not for Regina-born author Sandra Rollings-Magnusson. Her recent book is Tales from the Homestead, a colers who came in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and lived in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Rollings-Magnusson used archival material to highlight the stories of early European immigrants who arrived in Western Canada. She shares their challenges and triumphs of Prairie life, including famine, loss of livestock, community celebrations and neighbourly help. The book also includes stories of surviving near starmigrant process, building a sod home and establishing a ing to a new country. The MacEwan University sociology professor has studied Western Canadian homesteaders for more than 30 years. She has written numerous academic articles, lectured about pioneer living, and penned two books about pioneer times in Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan’s early history has been Rollings-Magnusson’s area of focus for years, she explained, because her grandparents were homesteaders and she visited them regularly as a child, she collects period antiques, and she has spent decades digging through archives for academic

research. “It’s kind of my whole life … ,” she laughed. “I just really enjoy it.” Tales from the Homestead occurred because of all the archival material Rollings-Magnusson had collected during the past 30 years, she explained. While her previous writings were about statistics and numbers, she also found stories, letters, autobiograAuthor Sandra Roll- memoirs, ings-Magnusson is a uni- phies, and reports that the versity professor who has homesteaders wrote that focused during the last 30 years on early pioneer life “I have almost a mini on the Prairies.

Photo submitted materials,” she said. “And each of those stories can be used in different ways or different fashions.” It took Rollings-Magnusson about two years to complete this latest publication. There are several stories in the book that she likes, such as horse thievery in Alberta. The story goes that Montana-based homesteaders horses missing the next day. After three days, a group of riders came claiming they had found the horses, but the homesteaders had to pay to get them back. “So since you’re stranded and isolated in the middle of nowhere, I guess you have to pay,” she laughed. place.” A happier story focuses on community dances and families coming from 25 miles away to participate. Many were happy to see others since they lived isolated lives on

their homesteads. Dances usually went until 7 a.m. since people had such a good time. “They took such joy in these events. They were few with hardship and toil and anguish,” said Rollings-Magnusson. Rollings-Magnusson noted that many homesteaders often wrote to stay busy. It’s also how they entertained themselves, especially during long, cold winter nights. By participating in the provincial government’s questionnaire project about early pioneer life in the 1950s, the homesteaders also contributed extra pages with their thoughts. There was one recurring theme in the surveys that Rollings-Magnusson found interesting. “… often they would say that they’re doing this for the purpose of they don’t want to be forgotten,” she said. “They were hoping that someday their stories would come to light, that the homesteading era — the efforts they put into working the land, the hardships they experienced, the good times they experienced — would not be forgotten by future generations. “And actually, that’s why I write on this era.

‘What a Year! Again!’ Palliser Library report on 2021 By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

The Palliser Regional Library system held its Annual General Meeting on Friday, April 29. Highlights included delayed Story Trails installations, Palliser headquarters’ new mural, rapid test kits, the dissolution of the SLTA, and no new provincial funding… again. The annual report echoed last year’s with the subtitle “What a Year! Again!” The reports can be read at palliserlibrary.ca/annual_reports. New South Hill mural “I’m so proud of it, I put (the picture of it) everywhere,” said Jan Smith, director of the Palliser Regional Library, speaking about the new mural at the South Hill HQ. “That’s just the easiest way to say it. And I just wanted to thank South Hill Community Association for organizing and paying for the newest mural on South Hill.” The mural cost approximately $5,000 and was completed in October after four weeks of work by Moose Jaw artist Carly Jaye Art.

Libraries are essential and can assist with public health In September, libraries were designated as essential services, exempting them from vaccination passports and enabling a late-November partnership with Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) to hand out rapid COVID tests to the public. As of the end of March 2022, Palliser and its associated branches have handed out over 15,000 rapid tests kits. This puts the library system on the radar of public health, Smith said. “Our 2020 plan has stood us in good stead over the last two-plus years,” Smith continued. “It gave us the

Smith reported that all 200 “of the actual things that have to go into the ground” are ready for delivery to the eight branches that will receive them.

As families walk the trail, they can read the story, complete with activities and QR codes for social media participation. Palliser had asked for $97,000 in federal funding from the Canada Healthy Communities Initiative, but received only $30,000. Nevertheless, they decided to proceed with the project because of demand and popularity. Dissolution of SLTA amid funding struggles Smith said that the Saskatchewan Library Trustee Association (SLTA) has dissolved. The SLTA was established in 1967 as a volunteer organization advocating for library services. “The concept of the SLTA is very good, but it needs a major overhaul,” Smith said. “We need it, because we need to be able to get to (MLA Greg Lawrence) and his colleagues.” She said that the SLTA was simply not functioning as intended, and a revamp is being investigated. Part of the problem is the lack of provincial funding. “We got a zero per cent increase this year,” Smith reported. “Which equals an increase of 4.21 per cent over 10 years.” The regional library directors are very concerned, she said. Despite advocacy and resolutions from the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) and the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SARM), the provincial has repeatedly declined to increase funding for the library systems to keep pace with seems to be on par with 2020 — with each year that does library system will be forced to make some form of cut to balance their budget.

MJM&AG bid farewell to long-time preparator Vivian Barber, who spent 23 years with the organization. Quon wished her well on behalf of the board. McRorie said that Barber’s expertise and care had contributed greatly to the professionalism and quality of the programming the organization offers and thanked her for her “obvious love for the collection.” McRorie said in her remarks that the pandemic had driven unprecedented adaptations for the MJM&AG. Exhibitions had to be cancelled or postponed, visitors restricted, and the facility shut down for a period. McRorie and her staff looked for opportunities to be creative and responsive to relevant issues. They chose to focus on the equity of culturally diverse groups as a “front and centre” issue. “We focused on the work of women artists from Indigenous, settler, newcomer, culturally diverse, and LGBTQ2SIA+ communities, to address gender equity as well as cultural equity. The result was the exhibition Fire in the Belly,” McRorie said. Fire in the Belly: Saskatchewan Women Artists was unveiled in February 2021 and used pieces from the museum’s permanent collection to showcase the work of female Prairie artists from the 1960s to now, including Indigenous and LGBTQ2SIA+ artists. McRorie noted at the time that female artists are still

The Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery (MJM&AG) held its annual general meeting (AGM) on April 28, the highlights of which were their Leadership Award from SK Arts, the diversity of their exhibitions and programming, and the successful adaptations to the pandemic. 2021 was the 55th year of operation for the MJM&AG. In My 2021 at the Sask Arts Award, it received the Leadership Award – Organization in recognition of its many years of diversity and inclusion in programming, its exhibits, including those that have successfully toured as far away as Sydney and Tokyo, and its involvement with the wider Saskatchewan arts community.

Resident’s 42-year career as bus tour operator quickly rolling to a halt Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Kathleen Thomson has travelled millions of kilometres across North America while leading bus tours during the last 42 years, visiting many interesting places and meeting many famous people. With retirement in sight, though, she is planning one last bus tour to Branson and Hannibal, Missouri, and Iowa City and Kalona, Iowa. The trip will include the Mark Twain Museum, a cruise down the Mississippi River, an Oktoberfest get-together, a trip to an Amish colony and sightseeing at the Quilt Capital of Iowa. Anyone interested in joining this tour can call 306692-2370. “I’ve been up to the Yukon and Alaska 31 times,” laughed Thomson, 87. “I enjoy (it) no matter where I go and you’re working with people that are on holidays and they’re in their best mood. It’s just been a wonderful, wonderful life for me. give it up completely … . I am retiring as far as putting the tours together myself.” The touring bug bit Thomson in the late 1970s after she took a trip as a passenger. During a second excursion, she helped the tour guide since the woman was elderly and needed assistance on the bus. This proved to be an enjoyable experience.

She worked for several such companies during the next three decades, but the grind of several tours a year grew heavy. “I just wanted to do one tour a year, and I kind of got tired of being with the tour companies, where we always had to report everything if we had problems or whatever,” she said. “And you always do on a lot of the tours.

Her tours used to stop at his museum in Victorville, Calif., where Thomson took a picture with the country star wife, Dale, one time by a few minutes. After the couple died, their son Dusty moved the museum to Branson since that was his mother’s wish. He installed a theatre in the new building to perform with his band, while he also told stories about the family. “I’m still in touch with Dusty. He’s now with the Sons of the Pioneers. He’s been to Moose Jaw; before COVID, he was here two years in a row. And we were invited down before the show started to visit with him and his wife,” said Thomson.

As a credit union, Conexus’s purpose is not to maximize profitability, but to provide a service to its members.

HOLY TRINITY CATHOLIC SCHOOL DIVISION THE NEXT HOLY TRINITY BOARD MEETING IS TUESDAY, MAY 24.

students can reach learning goals by June Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

While Holy Trinity Catholic School Division’s midyear learning accountability report provides a snapshot of how students are doing in certain subjects, the organization won’t have a complete picture until June. The division collects data three times a year — in September, February and June — on how students are doing in reading, writing and mathematics, explained Mark Selinger, superintendent of learning and technology. The data from September gives the division an idea of how students are doing, while the February data allows the organization to shift resources around the division to better support students who may be struggling, he continued. The division has been re-allocating resources since February. This includes sending reading and math interventionists to schools to help students. “We anticipate that at the third data collection in June, that’s … where we hope we’ve reached our goals by that point in time,” Selinger said, noting the data allows the division to dig deeply into it for better results. The division’s targets are that, by June, 80 per cent of students would be at or above grade level in reading, writing and math. Meanwhile, the division’s graduation goals are that by June, 85 per cent of students will graduate on time while 90 per cent Selinger presented his mid-year accountability report during the recent Holy Trinity board meeting. While the report provides percentages showing how students are doing now versus in 2021 and the mid-year snapshot using just the numbers since students are expected to grow in their knowledge between collection points. “They have grown. They may just not have grown as much as we would have hoped by now. And then we’ll put in those additional supports (so) that they grow even more by June,” he said. “But the point that we expect them to be at in the February results is actually a few levels higher than they were in September. So even if it looks like staying the same or consistent, there was actually growth that has occurred.” The data that the division has collected so far is almost on par with pre-pandemic years, which is encouraging, Selinger added. The division has been able to bridge those gaps that the pandemic caused

Project to increase parental engagement at schools a success, Catholic division says Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

A pilot project designed to increase parental engagement in schools and build connections between schools and homes has been so successful that Moose Jaw’s Catholic division wants to continue it next fall. Families from École St. Margaret School in Moose Jaw and All Saints Catholic School in Swift Current have been participating in the Parent-Teacher Home Visits project since November. The project saw participating parents and teachers curred last fall and the second this spring. The visits took place in family homes, on doorsteps, in backyards, park, rinks or community venues, and virtually if necessary. Parents and teachers were expected to build relationships to work together to support students’ education needs. Six classroom teachers, two support teachers, four educational assistants and two administrators conducted the visits, while classroom teachers reached out to every family asking for volunteers. Even though there was some hesitancy, many families accepted the chance to participate. This project was modelled on the Parent-Teacher Home Visits Project Organization, in the United States. Research results from there show that schools that systematically implemented this project experienced decreased rates of chronic absenteeism in students and inThe home visits connected to the Ministry of Education’s provincial education plan framework for 2020-30, including the goals of fostering connections and relationships between educators, students and their families and creating inclusive, safe and welcoming school environments. Sarah Phipps, superintendent of learning with Holy Trinity Catholic School Division, spoke about the pilot project’s success during the recent board of education

meeting. best educators of … their kiddos,” she said. “(So), how can we work in partnership with them?” The division trained two groups of employees last August and September — one in Swift Current and the other in Moose Jaw — in preparation for the pilot project. The goal was to meet at families’ homes, but the pandemic forced the division to “think out of the box” when arranging meetings. ber 2021, with the focus on families’ hopes and dreams for their children and how the school can support those goals, Phipps said. After Christmas, staff conducted most visits online because of the pandemic. Those visits focused on academics, transitions to the next grade and other questions families had. beginning it was a want; it was something we wanted to do for connections with families,” she continued. “But it became more of a need for families to really re-connect and have those partnerships with the staff and have open lines of communication that were really shut down during the pandemic. “It was really a positive experience for all the families that participated. We heard nothing but really good things from our staff (and) our students. We saw change in a lot of students and how they acted and reacted at school … .” Holy Trinity and the other participating school diviect researcher Dr. James McNinch will meet with the diviPhipps added that Holy Trinity hopes the project continues next fall in more schools since it saw good results overall.

Catholic division levies its own property taxes to protect its constitutional rights Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw’s Catholic school division expects to generate about $4 million this year by levying its own property taxes and mill rate, a move designed to protect its constitutional rights. During their recent board meeting, trustees with Holy Trinity Catholic School Division voted to adopt the education property tax mill rates that the provincial government established for the 2022-23 taxation year. The mill rates include: · Agriculture: 1.42 mills · Residential: 4.54 mills · Commercial/industrial: 6.86 mills · Resource property: 9.88 mills ed $4,088,184 in education property taxes. For 2022-23, with assessment growth factored in, the division expects to receive $4,168,000 by levying its mill rates. About four years ago — during the time of the Theodore Court Case — all eight Catholic school divisions in Saskatchewan moved to protect their constitutional rights to exist and operate as religious educational organizations -

The Ministry of Education allowed the organizations to enact those bylaws, but they were required to pass an annual resolution to set the education property tax mill rates by April 20 and notify the ministry and area municipalities by May 1. “Our school division — as well as a number of other school divisions — have the option to deviate from prosociated with that,” Van Parys said. “So if we were to, for example, set our mill rates higher than the provincial mill rates, the ministry would reduce our grant by an equivalent amount, and if we were to set our mill rates lower … the ministry would say, ‘Oh, things are looking good,’ and they wouldn’t adjust the grant.” The levying of educational property taxes and mill rates is expected to generate about $20 million for all 28 school divisions in Saskatchewan to support pre-kindergarten to Grade 12 education. “So bottom line, (we’re) preserving our constitutional rights as Catholic school divisions and adhering to what the ministry has decreed we need to do to make sure those rights are preserved,” added Van Parys.

Cost of joint-use school now at ‘high risk’ Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express Every month that passes where shovels are not in the ground building the new joint-use school on South Hill only adds to the project’s overall cost, a status report suggests. The most recent report shows that the overall project status, scope, and schedule remain at moderate risk, which is similar to last month. However, the budget status has risen to “high risk” from moderate risk because of “The project budget has been revised as a ‘High Risk’ as the current school estimate and land development estimates have both exceeded current budgets by a cumulative total of $6.6 million,” said the report, which was presented during the recent Holy Trinity and Prairie South board meetings. The latest opinion of probable costs for site services construction shows a budget shortfall of $664,009 or 20 per cent, the report continued. Furthermore, the class B estimate for the school construction indicates that, as currently designed, the project cost estimate is now $6 million — 17 per cent — above the approved budget.

“Discussions are ongoing on how the budget will be brought back on track,” added the report. Ward Strueby, director of education for Holy Trinity Catholic School Division, acknowledged that the project faces “cost pressures” that should be obvious, especially in acquiring resources to construct the building and hauling them to the site. The division is working with Prairie South School Division and the Ministry of Education to address this issue, while they hope that the project tender can be issued soon so a contractor can start construction, he continued. That would be great news for both school divisions and the City of Moose Jaw. “It’s always a concern (to see costs increase), a concern of us and a concern for government. But as it sits right now, we’re working through that process … ,” cost that it would have been quoted for three or four years ago, so there will be some increases there.” While the working group overseeing the project has been discussing this situation for some time, Strueby add-

The project status report indicated that the project’s schedule remains at moderate risk in recognition of the While the completion date of September 2024 remains achievable, it will be based on the team’s ability to “value engineer” the design. “As previously reported, the site services portion of the work (under MOU (memorandum of understanding with the city)) is scheduled to commence in summer/fall 2022 prior to the school construction,” the report added.

NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ADOPT BYLAW NO. 5665, STREET AND LANE CLOSURE BYLAW, 2022(1) The Council of the City of Moose Jaw intends to consider a bylaw pursuant to The Cities Act to adopt Bylaw No. 5665, Street and Lane Closure Bylaw, 2022(1).

A historical look For Murphy, her role has been made easier since someone put together the group’s history from 1922 to 1997. She has then been responsible for researching the group since 2000. She noted that the organization is a prayerful one steeped in tradition. “It’s been really interesting (researching the history). I have been reading back through the minutes of the last 100 years. It’s amazing what these women have accomplished in our churches,” she said. Since women usually did not work in the early 20th century, they held numerous bingos, teas, lunches, bake sales and other fundraisers to collect money to help with projects. While each event “raised piddly” amounts of money, the overall amount was large. The parish took on debt in 1920 to construct the church building, while the CWL’s fundraisers helped pay down those arrears over the years. By 1952, the parish was debt-free — thanks to the support of the women. “It’s amazing to see what these women (did). So it started out that they’ve had up to 200 women having their little drives and bake sales,” said Murphy.

The proposed Bylaw is to adopt Bylaw No. 5665, Street and Lane Closure Bylaw, 2022(1) to close portion of St/L 24, Plan OLD96 Ext 0. This portion of the lane is no longer required for public access and has not been utilized as a lane for years. After closure, a portion of the lane will be subdivided and sold to the adjacent property owners. A copy of the proposed Bylaw may be found under the “announcements” section at www.moosejaw.ca, from May 11, 2022 to May 24, 2022. A copy of the proposed Bylaw may also be examined by any interested person at the Department of Planning and Development Services located on the 3rd Floor of City Hall between May 11, 2022 to May 24, 2022. Any written comments or submissions must be received by the Department of Planning and Development Services, 228 Main Street North, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 3J8, by 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, in person or by email at planning@moosejaw.ca.

Communities in Bloom to beautify city entrance with support from local partners By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Moose Jaw’s Communities in Bloom committee will beautify the Thatcher Drive East entrance to the city with support from Tim Horton’s, Tourism Moose Jaw, and the City of Moose Jaw itself. Communities in Bloom (CiB) is a nationwide directive aimed at making communities more beautiful using L’Heureux-Mason, Executive Director of Tourism Moose Jaw. The CiB 2022 project will install new shrub beds trees next to Tourism Moose Jaw’s Visitor’s Centre on Diefenbaker Drive. “So, I’ve been working with (CiB) for a little bit, and when we were looking at some initiatives for the city, one of the things we talked about was improving the entranceways into Moose Jaw,” L’Heureux-Mason said. “It was really exciting to me (as executive director of) a tourist organization, but also as a citizen to be able to beautify our entrances — to be more proud of what we’ve got inside the city.” Don Howe, owner of the Tim Horton’s across from the Visitor’s Centre, was happy to be a co-sponsor for the project. “I thought it was a super idea,” Howe said. “We’re very pleased to be able to be involved in making the city more welcoming.” The project will likely cost around $2,000 a year for

the next three or four years. Tourism Moose Jaw and Tim Horton’s will split those costs. will allow families to sip their coffee and browse a Tourism Moose Jaw guide to the city’s attractions while they enjoy the space. Sarah Regent, City Horticulturalist and chair of the CiB Moose Jaw Committee, said that while CiB does focus a lot on gardening and landscaping, it also has important goals for environmental protection and heritage preservation. Environmental protection and heritage preservation mean that the plants will be hardy, native, drought-resistant varieties. Haskap berries, lilac bushes, and other Saskatchewan plants will provide food for birds and add to the resilience of the local ecosystem while also being safe for children and other animals. Regent said on behalf of the City that once the plantmaintenance. The plants will need more frequent watering themselves. The City will also contribute regular mulching for the shrub beds. Also present to support the announcement were Marta Woodrow, a member of the Tourism Moose Jaw board, Lorna Arnold, who sits on the CiB Moose Jaw committee, and Craig Hemingway, City of Moose Jaw Communications Director.

Outreach project sees Vanier students deliver teddy bears to kids at hospital Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Children receiving care at Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital will soon have the comfort of furry friends after students from Vanier Collegiate dropped off a large collection of teddy bears. Four students — Brooklyn Artavia, Mia Donaldson, Olivia Geradts and Bethany Jones — from Monique Byers’ Grade 11 Catholic Studies class stopped by the pediatric ward on May 5 to deliver 54 plush animals of various sizes and other goodies in 40 gift bags. Before they left, the students personally delivered two small plush animals to two-year-old Petra Moody and her mom Lisa. The students collected teddy bears as part of their Christian Action Project earlier this year, explained Artavia. They stuck posters on the walls around the school announcing the initiative and asked the student body to contribute to help kids in the hospital. “And we got a lot of donations, as well as students going out and buying word searches (and) colouring books. And we also made cards as well,” she continued. “There’s a lot of work that went into it … so we couldn’t have done it without the school.” Pediatric RN Bonnie Nelson thanked the students for delivering the teddy bears, saying their efforts were amazing and

Christian Action Projects are part of every Catholic Studies class that Vanier holds, where students are encouraged to think about how they can serve the community, explained Byers. While students are encouraged to focus on their prayer life, teachers often suggest they pursue a service project such as fundraising for the food bank or collecting teddy bears. “It (the theme) was, ‘Show you care, bring a bear,’” she added. The class chose teddy bears because ed and would likely be something a child would want, said Artavia. “Like, try to imagine if you were in the hospital, you probably just want something to hold to help you through it. That’s kind of what we thought,” she continued. “And maybe just add on some time-passers like word searches. It’s like a nice, easy gift.” The best part about delivering the teddy bears was watching people’s faces light would bring smiles to the kids. She noted that many children have been on the ward recently. she added. “Wow! And the packaging, it’s like a present for them.” “It’s like Christmas in May,” agreed “This will last probably until Christmas.”

up in excitement as they saw the packages arrive, said Artavia. It was also a good feeling to donate the stuffed critters. “It helps the people around you as well. As a community, even hearing about it, it just kind of brings more hope and happiness all around,” she added. “The emotion is very infectious. Like, just seeing all these happy faces, it’s a nice thing.”

Cowboys’ “Cookie” famous in movies for baked beans In cowboy movies purporting to show life on the range, the outdoor cook, affectionately known as “Cookie” relied heavily on meals of baked beans. The beans went a long ways to satisfying hungry cowhands living in the outdoors for days and days. The beans also served another purpose: the juices in the beans soften those hard-as-rocks chuckwagon. in a variety of forms, to feed hungry appetites. ••• BAKED BEANS 2-3 pieces of bacon 6 cups dried beans water 3 tbsps. lard 1 1/3 lbs. fancy molasses 2 cups or more ketchup 1/2 cup lard 1 tbsp. dry mustard Wash beans and remove any shrivelled ones. Put cleaned beans into a 6 quart Dutch oven or heavy roaster. Cover with lukewarm water to a depth of 4-5 inches above the beans. Soak overnight. In the morning add 3 tbsps. of lard and boil

beans for 1 hour or more. Beans are done when they begin to split. Remove from heat. Add molasses, ketchup, 1/2 cup lard and mustard. Mix gently. The mixture should be sloppy.

PrairiesCan approves over $500,000 in Moose Jaw funding — including new trolley By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Prairies Economic Development Canada has approved more than $500,000 for projects from three Moose Jaw organizations. Tourism Moose Jaw’s new trolley Tourism Moose Jaw received $295,000 to modernize the Moose Jaw Trolley tour. The new trolley will have many advantages such as being more accessible for people with disabilities, being more environmentally friendly, and having heating and cooling, which should extend its useful season. “Having the accessibility, to me, is the biggest change,” said Jacki L’Heureux-Mason, Executive director of Tourism Moose Jaw. “To be able to offer people who are having mobility issues a safe space for their wheelchair. Even just with people who struggle to get on the trolley, we have that ability to bring them on in a safer manner, lower to the ground.” L’Heureux-Mason said that being able to extend their season would also be a real plus for Tourism Moose Jaw. The current trolley must shut down when summer temperatures climb above 33 Celsius, and

AGRIMART

EXPRESS Saskatchewan’s 2021 GDP numbers have just been released in the latest annual GDP report by Statistics Canada. Saskatchewan had the only declining GDP out of all provinces in 2021. Drought last year caused the province’s agricultural production to drop the GDP drop. In neighbouring provinces, Alberta saw an increase in GDP of 5.1%, Manitoba by 1.2%, while Saskatchewan, the hardest hit by drought, saw an overall drop of -0.3% over 2021. Canada as a whole saw an increase of 4.8%. ing, and hunting sectors since 1997 since Statistics Canada began reporting using this model. As a result of severe drought condi-

The original trolley, seen here at the 2019 Hometown Fair, will soon be forced to share attention with a brandnew sibling cannot operate at all in the winter cold. Trolley manufacturers are not easy built by a specialty company in Henderson, Nevada. “You might not be surprised to know corner,” L’Heureux-Mason said. With the state of the world being what it is, the delivery has been delayed. “We were hoping to get it at the end

of May, but it has been delayed to the end of June,” she explained. “And then we’ll have to wrap it and everything, so we’re hoping it’ll be ready to rock and roll in July.” The old trolley will continue to operate until Tourism Moose Jaw can no longer afford it. Tunnels of Moose Jaw The Tunnels of Moose Jaw were given $99,999 to help complete their newest tour. “As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tunnels of Moose Jaw applied for the PrairiesCan Tourism Relief Fund Grant,” said Bobby Hill, general manager of the Tunnels. “With the support of this grant, we were able to complete our newest 12,000 square-foot renovation to the Tunnels of Moose Jaw. Bunker 24 provides our guests with a behind-the-scenes look into Canada’s involvement in the early days of the Cold War.” The City of Moose Jaw The City was given $109,350 for work in Crescent Park. Over 700 metres of pathway will be paved and restored.

“It is a pleasure to be a part of this exciting announcement,” said Mayor Clive Tolley. “The Trolley Tour, the Tunnels of Moose Jaw, and beautiful Crescent Park are all pillars of Moose Jaw’s tourism industry. Paving and restoring the pathways in Crescent Park, the purchase of the new trolley, and the addition of Bunker 24 to the Tunnels of Moose Jaw will provide a Notorious City — Moose Jaw! We are incredibly grateful for this strong support for our tourism industry.” Daniel Vandal, Minister for PrairiesCan, said that “Our government is making important investments in community attractions for the City of Moose Jaw through the Tourism Relief Fund and the Canada Community Revitalization Fund. Our government is working together with communities to support tourism recovery and the revitalization of important recreational spaces so that visitors and residents of Moose Jaw can enjoy them for years to come.”

Canada’s only province to see a decline in GDP in 2021 is Saskatchewan tions in the province, agriculture saw a 47.0% decline in overall production. The drought which also impacted Manitoba, cut it’s crop production by 25,4% and 16.7% of their electric power production and distribution since they rely so heavily on hydroelectric power. The same drastic declines were not evident in all parts of the country. Especially in Maritime provinces, where prices and demand for seafood products were higher than average, the provinces directly reliant on agriculture and natural When removing agriculture from Saskatchewan’s GDP tabulation, the province saw an average GDP growth of 4% across all other sectors.

al conditions remain stable in 2022, the province will experience strong economic growth. Nevertheless, the province’s negative GDP numbers have been a topic of discussion in the provincial legislature this week. On May 5th, the Ministry of Agriculture reported agriculture conditions in the province heading into a crucial seeding period. Compared to 2021, the ministry reported a slight improvement in the province’s runoff levels. Additionally, they stated that “topsoil moisture in croplands is rated at 5% surplus, 55% adequate, 26% short, and 14% very short. Grasslands and pastures were rated as 2% surplus, 52% adequate, 29% short, and 17% very short.

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express The Moose Jaw Miller Express appear to have a bit of a pipeline running to Crete, Nebraska as they put together their roster for the upcoming Western Canadian Baseball League season. And if guys like utility player Luke Lachance can bring even a bit of the success they’ve had this spring with the Doane University Tigers up north, it could be a special season indeed for the local WCBL crew. Lachance, a 5-foot-9 redshirt freshman out of Littleton, Col., is the second player from the Tigers signed by the Miller Express this spring, and like fellow utility player Nate Mensik before him, he also carries a fair amount of pop in his bat for

the powerhouse Tigers. Lachance is currently hitting .295 with six doubles, two triples and 17 runs batted in to go along with a .725 on-base-plusslugging percentage. He also had eight stolen bases to his credit, good enough for fourth on the team in that category. One of his top showings on the Great Plains Athletic Conference season came back on Mar. 5 against Baker College, where Lachance put together a 2-for-4 outing that included a pair of runs scored — he has 17 on the season — to go along with a double and triple in a10-3 Tigers win.

Musical ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ returns to Caronport after seven years Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Fiddler on the Roof is returning to The Landing in Caronport this spring as part of a Summer Stage production hosted by play in three years. Rich with musical hits such as “If I Were A Rich Man,” “Matchmaker, Matchmaker,” and “To Life (L’Chaim!),” the show is a heartwarming story of fathers and daughters, husbands and wives, and life, love and laughter. Russian Jewish village during the reign of Tsar Nicholas II. Tevye is a poor dairy farmer who raisaccording to Jewish tradition. However, his three oldest daughters resist tradition by marrying the men they choose rather than those designated by a matchmaker. Tevye accepts this as long as it does not violate Jewish law. However, the Tsar’s increasing persecution of Russian Jews leads to the violent disruption of the villagers’ lives and their forced removal. Although they lose their homes and land, Tevye and the villagers persist, preparing to restart their lives elsewhere. The show debuts on Friday, May 13 at 7 p.m., with extra performances on May 20 and 27 and June 3. There are also Saturday performances on May 14, 21, and 28 and on June 4 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $17 for adults, $14 for students and seniors, and $6 for children uning Briercrest Onstage at 306-756-3250. The Summer Stage program has host-

ed performances since 2012, giving students in the arts and music programs, faculty, and residents the chance to perform, explained Nancy Loper, performing arts administrative assistant. Briercrest Onstage has held since 2019, after the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out any possibility of performing for crowds during the past two years. “We’re very excited to have it back on now,” she added. This is the second Fiddler on the Roof production that Briercrest Onstage has is the Yente the matchmaker, the three oldest daughters are portrayed by Loper, Kaytlyn Annala and Lily Wiebe, and Sterling Boehm is Motel, a poor tailor who marries a daughter. “It’s a classic. It’s a good family show as well,” said artistic director Ron de Jager. “I think just the honesty and realness of the leading character and his struggles with everyday life, I think it resonates with people right now … especially after the pandemic … .” Some issues Tevye faces include struggling to feed his family, working hard

and pulling his cart after his horse is injured. The Sound of Music and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers were the last shows Briercrest Onstage hosted during its Summer Stage lineup in 2019. This year, organizers decided to hold one production — a last-minute decision — because they were unsure how the pandemic would affect indoor gatherings this spring, Loper said. “We’ve been doing rehearsals for about a month now and we only got the OK to go ahead about a month-and-a-half ago, so it’s been a pretty short timeline,” she continued. “But things are really coming together and we’re really excited to open next Friday (the 13th).” Fiddler on the Roof is a mixture of

comedy and drama, Loper added, while it has a great selection of songs that people will enjoy. “I think we’re just thrilled we can perform again. I think you don’t realize what you have until you lose it,” said de Jager. “So being able to perform for a live audience again is a gift. And I think this is just such a good play to return to the stage after three years of being off. “We’re pretty excited.”

Tracy Lynn Sheppard June 30, 1974 - March 26, 2022

You don’t get to pick the time so live with gusto… It breaks our hearts to announce the loss of our Tracy Lynn Sheppard on March 26, 2022 at the age of 47. She was born June 30, 1974, in Moose Jaw, SK into a household with seven brothers & sisters; she learned about family early on. Tracy gravitated toward the arts (we all know it’s because she sucked so completely at sports), but like all the Sheppards, Tracy spent her summers in Gimli MB, as a Sea Cadet, learning to sail - another passion in her life. After graduating from high school, Tracy became a teacher, the perfect trade for someone who loves children. However, the travel-bug, which was to become a permanent part of Tracy’s life, took her away to Australia for a year and to Korea to teach. After returning to Canada, she joined her brother in Calgary in a start-up real estate business. Bored in a new city, Tracy was invited to a housewarming party where she met the love of her life. From that night, and for the next 17 years, Tracy and Brian were inseparable. The two moved to Hinton, where they worked together, lived together, loved together, raised kids and grandchildren together, traveled together and volunteered in the community together. After running The Wild Orchid for a little more than 10 years, Tracy moved on to work at the Pine Valley Lodge and like everything else she ever did, she did it with passion: man, did the residents have an advocate in Tracy! In love, family, travel, work, exercise, friendship, and her work in the community, she lived her life with gusto. Tracy was an entrepreneur, executive, committed community member and teacher - and in all areas, she touched lives with her infectious positive energy. We will all miss you like crazy Trace: your husband and partnerin-everything, Brian LaBerge; fur-child Doug; children Kaylee (Michael), Renee & Mitch. Your grandchildren who truly adored you because you took the time to show them how special they were to you: Brooklynn, Aylah, Piper, Willow, Rome and Birdie. Your father Jim (deceased) and mother Valerie; siblings Monte Sheppard (Mona); Ron “Skum” Sheppard (Sue Klotz); Scott “Pube” Sheppard (Jacquie Moore); Tammy “Julie” Sheppard (Marc Rochette); Lance “Nip” Sheppard (Charlotte Saunders); Cindy Hardie (Alistair); Jody Mann; and loads of nieces and nephews who cherished their Auntie Tracy. A lifetime of friends and the united ‘Shepberge’ family will miss you forever.

My darling Tracy, when we love deeply, we mourn deeply. Losing you has taken my breath away. To honour your zest for life, we will go on with love, we will laugh again, dance again, and we will raise a glass again (well, we’ve had a few along the way).

of her career. She joined the Army as a CWAC in 1941 where she served as a medical steno and later as teacher to new clerks in military hospitals. In May of 1945 she married the love of her life Peter Redecopp and they then settled on a farm in the Baildon district south of Moose Jaw where they started their family. In the fall of 1949 they moved to the Family farm east of Regina on Tower road about 2 miles north of the Number 1 highway. Mom went back into the work force in 1958 to work as a steno for the Saskatchewan government in several departments until her retirement in 1985. In her retirement she joined the Regina Minus One club where she went to weekly dances, travelled to exotic places and met her future partner, Ernie Temple. She loved to dance and play cards with Ernie until his passing in 2003. Mom moved to Red Deer to be with her eldest daughter with whom she lived until entering

All of us who loved her dearly invite you to a celebration of Tracy’s life:
