RUCK IT UP RETURNS FOR SECOND YEAR SUPPORTING MENTAL HEALTH

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Friends Tyler Simpson, Chris Robart, and Brett Hagan started the Ruck It Up fundraiser last year to recognize the struggle many people experience with mental health and donated the proceeds to Journey to Hope Moose Jaw. The event takes place at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 28. Participants will meet at the Rotary Pavilion in Wakamow Valley, across from the old Burger Cabin.

Register at: www.events.runningroom. com/site/17520/ruck-it-up-2022/.

Rucking is a verb, meaning to walk with a weighted rucksack/backpack, Hagan explained. It implies action, energy, and purpose. Rucking requires strength, endurance, and character — and builds them, too.

The event will be a 6K ruck. The backpack can have as much or as little weight in it as the individual is comfortable with.

“The idea was, with the backpack, anybody who hasn’t experienced mental unwellness can come for a 6K ruck with us for about an hour and experience a little bit of the burden it is to carry that weight on your back every day,” Hagan said. for Journey to Hope, which is a local organization that raises funds for suicide awareness and prevention.

with a rucksack on your back, it helps with your posture, gives you a core exercise, leg exercise. Then you can expand. Instead of just going for a hike, you also do some exercises — push ups, squats, deadlifts, different things.”

This particular hike isn’t about exercise, though. Simpson, Robart, and Hagan want to bring the community together and create a space to talk about mental health, share stories, and raise awareness.

Another aspect to the activity, the organizers say, is to help people realize how therapeutic being outside can be.

“Getting outside for 30 to 40 minutes a day, just to walk, is a very underrated exercise,” Hagan said. It helps more than you think, he continued, and is a good tool to increase mental health and work for suicide prevention.

Simpson said that this year will include a penny parade with gift bag donations from local businesses; participants should bring cash if they’d like to be part of that.

Anyone interested in donating to the cause or looking for more information should email Tyler Simpson at tyler@simpsonseeds.com.

Cutest baby contest at McMaster Photography Studio

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

McMaster Studio is returning to pre-pandemic form with their annual “Cutest Baby” contest — the contest is open for babies under 18 months and will run until the end of May. “We haven’t done it for the last few years,” said Mark Duffy, owner of McMaster Studio. “We started it up again, and we’ve learned every time we’ve done it, so now we’re doing it with actual people from Moose Jaw voting.”

Duffy said that in previous years they had tried out Facebook voting, but it turned into a popularity contest. People recruited their friends and followers to vote for their baby, with an obvious bias emerging for those who were more active on social media.

“People didn’t like that,” Duffy laughed. “Because the people with the most followers and stuff like that on Facebook would win.”

Now they use a judging panel from Moose Jaw. It is important that their judges be neutral, so judges aren’t allowed to know any of the babies in the contest.

Many entries are from out of town, making it fairly easy to stay objective.

Hopefully, Duffy said, they’ll be able to recruit some big names to be on their

years, with a permanent studio on their “We love photographing babies; we’ve got lots of props upstairs,” Duffy said. “We’ve got lots of different backgrounds, lots of different backdrops, peo-

They work with parents to brainstorm fun ideas that make sense for the family.

“We’re trying to get that one shot that pops. That one shot that, you know, maybe it’s a little awkward-looking, or even an angry expression,” Duffy said.

After the shoot is over, Duffy edits the photos and the album goes online for parents to browse. They pick out their favourite photo and enter it into the contest. The entry fee is $20, but photo prints are half off for two weeks for entrants, so it works out to be a good deal.

Dolly Parton Imagination Library coming to Moose Jaw in early August

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

The Moose Jaw Literacy Network, with several community partners, is bringing the Dolly Parton Imagination Library book gifting program to Moose Jaw in early August.

Christine Boyczuk, the coordinator for the Moose Jaw Literacy Network (MJLN), said that the MJLN and its partners are working to calculate how many children they can get on the program with the funding they have so far. They are still fundraising to be able to support as many children as possible, with the goal of hav-

“There’s a bit of calculation involved,” Boyczuk explained. “If we begin a child at a certain age, say at birth, gift.”

Dolly Parton set up her Imagination Library in honour of her father, who, while smart and hard-working, was unable to read or write. Parton hopes her library inspires a lifelong love of learning.

The program is for children aged 0-5.

Each enrolled child will receive one book book is selected carefully by a panel of early childhood literacy experts and is personally addressed to its new owner.

The cost is $3.55 per child per month:

Christine Boyczuk reads to children as part of her role with the Moose Jaw Literacy Network (Sask Health Authority photo) Boyczuk said they hope to enroll 300 children, and said the books were all wonderful and the price is incredible.

“I probably couldn’t buy one for under $10,” she added. “This is a worldwide program, and the books are selected based on children’s age and the region in which they live.”

Several Moose Jaw partners will

help administer the program. The pool of money to be drawn from each month is controlled by the Moose Jaw & District Chamber of Commerce. The Early Years Family Centre will be enrolling children, and Spectra Venue Management, which oversees Mosaic Place, has pledged to help advocate for and publicize the opportunity.

“In Saskatchewan, we know how important early learning and literacy are for families, for communities, and for our province,” said Phaedra Hitchings, Executive Director of the Saskatchewan Literacy Network. “Learning starts at home. Reading and sharing stories together builds strong families and lifelong love of learning.”

Ryan MacIvor, Spectra’s District General Manager for Mosaic Place, said ly Parton Imagination Library for his own kids.

“My children have loved all the books, and we continue to read them again and again,” MacIvor said. “It’s a fun day when the mail comes and a book is addressed to the child in their name. And it’s a great opportunity for the parents and the child to sit and read the story and talk about the pictures and really engage the child in that early childhood literacy.”

Food bank stocks community fridge and pantry in reaction to social cuts

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

The Moose Jaw & District Food Bank, Moose Jaw Housing Authority, and Moose Jaw Families For Change have partnered to install a community fridge and pantry at High Park Towers as a pilot to increase help for hungry residents.

“Five per cent of Moose Jaw’s population currently accesses the Food Bank,” said Cheantelle Fisher, Client Resource Representative at the Moose Jaw Food Bank and the main mind behind the project. “A lot of folks, especially (those) living on the SIS or the SAID program … are not making enough money to purchase groceries and pay their bills, pay their rent, and live.”

The Saskatchewan Income Support program (SIS) replaced the Saskatchewan Assistance Program and Transitional Employment Allowance in 2019. The program has been widely criticized by Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), income assistance recipients, the Federation of Sovereign First Nations (FSIN), the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA), the Saskatchewan Landlords’ Association (SLA), and others.

The rapidly rising cost of living has worsened the situation, with no corresponding increase in aid amounts from the Sask Party.

On May 16, Fisher will speak at the Legislative Assembly to inform members of the desperation that food bank clients on SAID are experiencing.

The Moose Jaw & District Food Bank is seeing record numbers this year. So far, they have met the demand thanks to consistent community support — they don’t receive any regular government funding.

“One of the reasons we picked the High Park Towers building is because it is primarily seniors,” Fisher said. “And we’re seeing a lot of these folks in the food bank — we know that they’re not making

Parliamentary Secretary announces newcomer settlement funding for Prairies

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Marie-France Lalonde, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Immigration, was in Moose Jaw on Thursday to announce the expansion of funding for settlement services in the Prairie Provinces.

“Newcomers to Canada play a crucial role in the future of our country and contribute in important ways to our society and economic recovery from the pandemic,” Lalonde said. “Many go through an enormous personal transition when they gest decision of their lives, and we need to make sure they have all the support they need to settle into a new home.”

The federal government will invest over $14 million to expand resettlement capacity and settlement services in small and rural communities in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

The funding includes $10.1 million for case management services in 11 Prairie communities and $4.2 million for three new Resettlement Assistance Program (RAP) providers in Fort McMurray and Grand Prairie, Alberta, and Winkler, Manitoba.

The announcement was made from the Skywalk Room at Temple Gardens Hotel & Spa. RAPs are funding programs that support government-assisted refugees upon

Many of their senior clients have mobility issues or lack access to a vehicle.

When they can’t get a ride, or help from someone they know, they don’t eat.

Moose Jaw Housing contributed the fridge, pantry, and location for the project.

Moose Jaw Families For Change operates in the building and offered their support.

“If we can keep food in this fridge, (residents) at least have a few options,” Fisher said. “They can go down to the fridge and grab some vegetables and a few eggs, or a package of coffee or cookies or soup.”

Fisher stocks the fridge and pantry twice a week. Users are asked to limit

themselves to two items a day to make sure there is enough to go around.

The Food Bank will use client feedback to decide whether to expand the program, and what other locations should be included.

“We can tailor the program to the feedback that we’re hearing. This needs to be client-driven,” Fisher said. “This is us learning from and adapting it to the needs of the users.”

There is now a separate section at the food bank for community fridge-and support the community is interested in offering is welcomed.

Rotary Clubs raise $11,504.91 for Ukraine with help from community

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

The April 29 fundraising supper, a joint effort by Moose Jaw’s two Rotary Clubs held at the Church of Our Lady’s community hall in South Hill, was a big success before, during, and afterwards.

The two clubs are the Rotary Club of Moose Jaw and the Rotary Club of Moose Jaw Wakamow.

The clubs said in a joint release that they deeply appreciate the work and contributions of many volunteers, businesses, and organizations who joined the meal purchasers in caring about the wellbeing of Ukrainian refugees.

The fundraiser raised a total of $11,504.91 as of May 13.

“Every penny will go to Rotary Clubs in Poland to provide local humanitarian assistance needed by Ukrainian refugees,” said Glenn Hagel, a member of the Wakamow club. “The Ukrainian meal tickets sold out nations, all exceeded our most optimistic expectations.”

Glen Blager, a member of the Moose Jaw club, reported during the April 29 supper that every ticket for both takeout and dine-in options had been sold.

“What can you say?” he smiled. “It’s good.”

The fundraising effort began with the idea to do a supper with Ukrainian food, and snowballed from there.

The preparation included a Wednesday, April 27 evening of perogie-making that brought the community together.

“We had lots of fun Wednesday night,” Blager said.

“Forty or so of us were here making loaded perogies to serve (during the supper), with the two clubs and some volunteers. And it was just a hoot.”

******* Kudos to both Rotary Clubs that joined forces to hold a recent fundraiser dinner in support of Ukraine – going to Rotary Clubs in that country to distribute humanitarian aid. Moose Jaw came through with a grand total of well-over 11K dollars to date, and still climbing, as I think they would be happy to continue accepting any and all donations to the cause. Thanks to all of the businesses who supported the endeavour with substantial donations.

Personally attending the perogie-making and tasting evening prior to the fundraiser, I will attest the loaded perogies were very tasty. It was well-worth the effort to build them in the Beginner Perogie-Making Class offered, and a very delightful evening to be had.

******** Now let’s talk about camping…I love the camping experience but not necessarily all of the extra unknowns that come with wilderness camping adventures very vividly.

As a newbie-tenter in the early years of our marriage, with a three year old and infant in tow, the hubby and I decided to buy a pup-tent to give it a go. Well, you have to start somewhere!

We headed up north to Candle Lake area where we set up

forced to sleep with just the screen zipped and no extra coverage.

In the middle of the nite, we woke to a frightening noise headed toward the tent. At least hubby had the sense to bring a a garbage bag met us eye-to-eye with only the screen to separate the humans from the beast. It was quite a predicament; thankfully the skunk had the good graces to turn-and-run rather than turnhis-bum and give us a blast. Needless to say, our camping skills have improved over time with updated camping accommodation.

Camping gets into your blood but somehow time tames the adventure to a more palatable state that I can enjoy.

“We’re grateful to help in any way we can,” said Matt Ponto, General Manager at Knight Ford Lincoln. Ponto added that Saskatchewan’s strong Ukrainian connections were felt by all Moose Jaw residents, including the staff at his dealership.

“Everyone’s got their ties, one way or another, so this was an easy decision for us, for sure,” he said.

Garth Palmer, a member of the Moose Jaw club and a former Moose Jaw Fire Department Chief, represented his club at the Knight Ford Lincoln cheque presentation.

“This was something that was easy for our club to jump on with the other club and, you know, join forces,” Palmer said. “As a service club, we were looking for a project that was worthy … these Ukrainian refugees need some help.”

Palmer made Ukrainian potato pancakes most of the night on April 29 and described the experience as “terrific.”

“The way Moose Jaw people came together was simply amazing,” he said. “They opened their hearts to help Ukrainian refugees and made the evening so meaningful for everyone involved.”

RECOGNIZING THE REALITY OF SEXUALIZED VIOLENCE The pandemic has mandated long periods of isolation; creating an epidemic within it that is not as widely noticed by the public as COVID-19 is – the increase of domestic and sexual violence. While not always noticed by the public, the effects of such violence are widely felt, due to the strain on health, justice, and social services resources. Each one of us has been impacted, directly or indirectly, by sexual violence, with the toll of such violence hurting the health of our communities and the people within them.

As we begin to gather again, we need to be aware of these different realities, the prevalence of violence, and the ripple effect this violence has on us all. During Sexual Violence Awareness Week 2022, RSAC is facilitating the campaign #ChooseToSee. As many survivors of sexualized violence begin to ‘return to normal life’, this campaign begs the question to the public, what are you not noticing?

From a young age, people (particularly females and feminine identifying folk) are taught strategies to keep themselves safe and prevent their own assault.

These strategies, such as constantly minding your drink rying pepper spray, put the responsibility of protection from an assault on the potential victim, simultaneously taking the responsibility away from the potential per-

petrator and instilling victim blaming. Many of the strategies people are told to do to ‘protect themselves’ are also ineffective, as 85% of victims know their peruseless when faced with workplace sexual harassment, sexual abuse at the hands of a family member, or sexuother.

We use these protection tactics almost instinctually, unbeknownst to many people who have not experienced sexualized violence. Just as we have taken responsibility to keep one another safe during the pandemic, we must all take responsibility for creating safe environments free from sexualized violence, as well as creating supportive space for disclosures of abuse that occurred behind closed doors during the pandemic.

With 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys experiencing sexualized violence, and 2SLGBTQIA+ folk being placed at an even greater risk, it is time for each person to see the reality of increasing rates of sexualized violence, and work towards being a part of the solution by removing blame from and believing survivors.

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com A recent Scouts Canada survey of 1000 Canadians asked respondents questions such as how to respond to a black bear en-

on the items until they were dry, and 22 said they would wrap the wet gear or clothing in a jacket to absorb moisture.

Tents tend to be a source of frustration for many, it seems. 357 survey respondents said they had no idea how long it would take to set up a tent. 152 said it would take them 30 minutes, and 100 estimated it would take them at least 45.

114 respondents said they could do

outdoor skills, and how well they can set up a tent.

“We’re having a little fun with this survey, but the real point is that we wanted to understand the gaps that Canadians are facing in their connection with nature and important outdoor skills,” said Siobhan Ward, Youth Program Specialist and Rover Scout with Scouts Canada. “When families and youth in Canada are empowered with skills to enjoy fun outdoor adventures set up for success in the world as resilient, capable, and well-rounded individuals.”

I don’t have to outrun the bear — I just have to outrun you When respondents were asked what they would do if they encountered a Black Bear while out in the woods, 232 answered unwisely: 86 said they would run, 56 decided to play Metallica and livestream the encounter, 55 said they would scare the bear by staring into its eyes, and 32 brave149 respondents said they didn’t know what they would do.

The answer? First off, a human bebut they can run an easy 40 kilometres per hour and climb a 30-metre (100-foot) tree in less than 30 seconds, and their teeth and claws are bigger than ours.

If you encounter a black bear in the wild, stay calm, speak softly, and back away slowly. Don’t turn your back on them or stare directly at them. If the bear approaches, make yourself big and group close with anyone you’re travelling with.

The vast majority of the time, bears have no interest in people and just want to get away safely — like you.

Foraging for wild food Asked to identify wild plants that would be safe to eat, 467 respondents said plants such as Winterberry and Buckthorn as safe to eat.

There are many excellent foraging books available. If foraging is of interest to you, and if it is a legal activity where you live, buy a current book written by an

to 25 minutes, which is about average depending on the shelter.

The average Canadian is lucky, it seems, that camping is a voluntary leisure activity.

If the outdoors is on your vacation list this summer and you feel rusty (or clueless), practicing in the backyard, taking an experienced friend with you, or taking a wilderness survival course are all good ways to make sure you’re prepared!

“Other Canadians are good at camping, but not me” Another survey question asked respondents to rate the camping competence of ‘most Canadians’ (e.g. not themselves.)

120 respondents said that most Canadians have a high wilderness competence. A majority (617) said that most Canadians were at least OK at camping.

However, when asked to rate themselves, only 363 said they were OK at camping; 390 said their skills were either poor or actively dangerous.

Ward called on seasoned Canadian campers and nature lovers to volunteer with Scouts Canada and help teach youth wilderness survival and safe enjoyment skills.

“We’re also calling on individuals who are passionate about youth leadership and empowerment to volunteer and develop outdoor skills along their Scouting journey through training and peer support,” she added.

Signal lights no longer an option

Editor’s Note: This column was originally printed on May 4, 2016 and is reprised here this week because some drivers still don’t seem aware of how to use that piece of standard equipment on modern vehicles.

We old folks have seen many miraculous inventions over the years: 24-hour radio and television, microwave ovens, computers, cellphones, digital cameras and medical techniques never thought possible 50 years ago.

And please, let us not forget the invention of signal lights on motor vehicles — those lights that often go unused by drivers on today’s streets and highways.

At one time, many, many years ago, signal lights were one of the options offered when a new vehicle was being purchased. In some cases, drivers didn’t want to spend that extra $7 for some new-fangled attachment to were for folks who didn’t know beforehand where they were going, and besides, in a small town no one signalled because one’s destination was always the same and other drivers knew it well.

Several people are credited with the invention of the signal light, but most noteworthy is Oscar J. Simler who came up with the concept in 1929. It took another 10 years before consumers had a chance to try the invention. The the rear of the car only so drivers following could be alerted to a change of direction. Front signals were added to the Buick in the early 1940s.

By the mid to late 1950s most cars and trucks came equipped with signal lights, freeing drivers from having to learn and use the appropriate hand signals, in sunny weather and rain, in dust storms and snow white-outs.

The other day I saw a rider of a bicycle signalling in the old fashioned way to make a turn. I smiled when I saw his left arm pointing straight out, indicating to me that a left hand turn was in his plan. This clever youngster also looked both ways before safely making his turn across The extended left arm would have been familiar to older and more experienced drivers, some of whom likely used such a signal in their early car-driving years. A right turn was indicated by placing one’s elbow on the window ledge then raising the forearm up with one’s hand open.

A stop indicator was the arm out and angling downward.

My research on this was a bit of a lark as the information indicated that using the driver’s left arm was mandatory in Saskatchewan and Canada. I think using one’s right arm would have merely smacked any front seat passenger in the nose and would not have been seen by other drivers. The writer didn’t say it but it was assumed the driver’s window would have been cranked down so as to allow the arm to emerge.

We had one old vehicle, a black truck, that didn’t have interior turn signals and I recall my Mother being upset that Dad got the sleeve of his Sunday suit wet while signalling in the rain.

I learned those hand signals when learning to ride my bike, and they were part of the written driver’s licence exam, although the RCMP cruiser of 1966 which we used for our actual driving test had signal lights — which we had to use correctly.

Which brings me to the point of this drive down memory lane. It is to ask drivers of today to please use those signal lights more often than they do. They come in handy for letting other drivers know you are planning to change lanes, want to make a left or right turn, or plan to ease into a parking place.

Their regular use will mean fewer accidents, less brakes being slammed on when you switch lanes and nearly remove the front bumper of an unsuspecting vehicle, and less road rage situations when the signals aren’t used.

I wonder how many of today’s drivers would mistake an arm raised for a right turn as an obnoxious signal and take offence? Hmmm, an interesting speculation.

Agrimart: Free Course Helps Improve Farm Management Skills Across Canada

An eight-module course, taught in partnership with RBC, Farm Credit Canada, and the University of Guelph, was launched in January 2022. The free online course, which and transition, is still available to farmers throughout the country. Modules in the course focus on helping farmers implement effective business planning processes, leverat mental health issues to ensure people are taking care of themselves and their operations.

As a result of the collaboration between RBC, FCC, and University of Guelph, this comprehensive free course is designed to strengthen Canadian agriculture through enhanced management knowledge, skills, and

Organisers explain that the course will help “Take you agricultural business to the next level”

“To be successful within a farm operation today, it’s become essential to have a good handle on the fundamentals of farm business management. For some producers, that might mean the need to continually sharpen and refresh their knowledge around the key concepts that

For others who are just getting started in the industry or perhaps have never had an opportunity to study formally, we felt a step-by-step foundations program would help start the journey,” explained Mike Tisdall, Director of Content Marketing and Industry Events at FCC.

Since launching in January 2022, over 4000 people have registered and 850 have completed the course, cording to Tisdall.

The University of Guelph hopes that over 50,000 producers will take at least one course module over the next two years.

MJM&AG prepares for quirky new exhibitions Two fantastical, quirky, and funny exhibitions are coming to the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery (MJM&AG) this month. Their creators hope to elicit smiles, thoughtfulness, and (perhaps) a bit of existentialism from viewers.

Sylvia Ziemann’s Keeping House at the End of the World and Todd Gronsdahl’s Saskatchewan Maritime Museum will share space in the MJM&AG’s Norma Lang Gallery from May 27 to August 28.

Keeping House at the End of the World Keeping House at the End of the World features a variety of paintings, drawings, and audio/visual components, as well as a series of miniature dioramas with anthropomorphic animals such as donkeys, rabbits, and foxes.

“It’s looking at apocalyptic stories, but in a very playful way,” said Jennifer McRorie, director and curator at fascinating and playful and humorous and something to discover and explore.”

Ziemann’s art has close attention to detail that keeps viewers engaged trying to discover what else is hidden in each scene.

The subject matter is surprisingly grim, contrasting dystopia with utopia, and asking both how to react to the imminent end of the world, and how to react to a world that has ended.

The Saskatchewan Maritime Museum “There’s kind of an absurdity to it,” McRorie said. “They’ll pick up pretty quickly that (Gronsdahl’s work) is very playful and that they’re in on a joke.”

The Saskatchewan Maritime Museum centers on a character Gronsdahl has created named Charles Gaspar. ure — a wealthy inventor and explorer Saskatchewan’s rivers and lakes.

Although the absurdity of a Saskatchewan Maritime Museum is funny on the surface, gallery viewers may wish to deliberately suspend their disbelief for a short time to explore Gaspar’s history seriously.

McRorie said that Gronsdahl is “speaking to the fact that the narratives that are presented in museums are always presented as truth, and yet they’re pulled from certain perspectives. So, is it always the real truth? Whose truth is it?”

These are solo exhibitions, but when McRorie was searching for possibilities for the year, she noticed that The Saskatchewan Maritime Museum and Keeping House at the End of the World shared folklorish, fairy tale-like connections that

“I think there’ll be an interesting dialogue with the two exhibitions in this space,” she said. “I’m hoping that it’ll appeal to Moose Jaw audiences, but also to tourists that come through this summer.”

“Angled parking provides more space instead of parallel parking,” he said, adding these potential parking stalls should be meter-free.

While city administration determines whether it’s possible to keep the Coteau Street East bridge, the mayor wants planning for a new bridge on Coteau Street West to receive more attention.

During the May 9 regular city council meeting, Mayor Clive Tolley introduced a motion to have planning for a new bridge connecting Coteau Street West to Thatcher Drive Northwest be referred to upcoming capital budget discussions.

City council has “a huge amount of money” invested in the renovation of the Fourth Avenue (Thunderbird Viaduct) bridge over the next few years, Tolley said. While building a bridge on Coteau Street West is a distant agenda item, he thought more discussions about it needed to happen during capital budget meetings. “… We’re going to be having more and more homes built in the southwest corner of the city,” he continued.

“We continue to get complaints of access off Coteau and Ninth Southwest and I’m thinking if we can start talking about this and get it on the agenda, eventually it could become reality.

“I don’t expect for this to happen quickly, but I just want simply to have a budget discussion.”

If the motion passed, Coun. Heather Eby wondered how this would affect the budget and whether city administration would provide a report with a “high-level num-

During the meeting, Mayor Clive Tolley let slip that city council had “removed” the existing board of revision after making the decision in camera — behind closed doors — at the May 9 executive committee meeting.

Council also decided to use a private contractor to handle the work this year.

“So … council made the decision based on the recommendation from the administration that we go with a contractor. It’s the same contractor doing many communities in the province,” he said, but failed to recall the company’s name. “When you go in front of the board of revision next time around, you’ll be going in front of a contracted group.”

The changes that happened on Thatcher Drive East that affected the entrance to that small strip mall are complete, so this motion doesn’t change anything about that, said Coun. Heather Eby. Therefore, she thought that part of Tolley’s argument was “moot.”

“I suppose it would be interesting to see how much this would cost and what it would look like, but I don’t really foresee that it would be something I would support the cost of,” she continued. “If people are driving through the ditch, a better solution would be some fencing or bollards to stop people from driving through there.”

Eby added that with construction costs increasing, creating a new access road would “not be a cheap venture” and she didn’t think it was necessary.

The Co-op sent a letter expressing support for a new access road, considering it wants more access to its pharmacy on the service road and easier access for its customers, said Tolley.

“It (the new board) will be a group of professionals who have a little more consistency than the existing group,” Tolley added.

The Moose Jaw Express reached out to the city to discussed the matter behind closed doors and directed city administration to provide a public report at the May “The mayor/city manager will be available that night to answer any questions related to the report and any decision of council,” city hall added.

CITY HALL COUNCIL NOTES

The next regular council meeting is TUESDAY, MAY 24.

Moose Jaw’s swim club is concerned that the new outdoor pool will put its members at a competitive disadvantage because of the proposed size and believes a bigger venue is necessary for success.

Executive members and supporters of the Moose Jaw Kinsmen Flying Fins attended city council’s May 9 regular meeting and attempted to persuade council to build a new outdoor pool with 50-metre swim lanes instead of the proposed 25 metres. However, after discussion, council later approved a motion to pursue federal funding for a pool with 25-metre-long lanes.

The Moose Jaw Express will have a separate story about that discussion.

Presentation The Flying Fins are the community’s only competitive swim team, the only major user group of the Sportsplex and Phyllis Dewar pools, have existed for 50 years, have thousands of alumni, and are competitive provincially and nationally, explained president Rick Johns.

As a year-round swim team, the group’s year is divided into two training and competition seasons, he said. The short course starts in the fall and occurs at the Kinsmen Sportsplex, with 25-metre-long lanes. The long course occurs in the second half at the Phyllis Dewar, which has 50-metre-long lanes and is an Olympic-sized venue.

“With the long-course meet and long-course pool, that’s where all the major swimming events occur, such as

ManSask Provincials, Western Canadian championships, junior championships, Olympic trials and world championships,” Johns said.

Moose Jaw’s outdoor pool is named after Olympian Phyllis Dewar, while the Flying Fins’ Mike Mintenko Summerfest honours that Olympic athlete.

“We are very small, but we’re mighty. We’re very competitive within the swimming community,” Johns remarked. “We have the highest ratio of Olympic trial (athPre-pandemic, the club had three out of 117 members qualify for the Olympics. In comparison, a Regina Flying Fins have the distinction of breaking 14 records between 2015 and 2020.

The club currently has 85 members as it rebuilds post-pandemic.

“Reducing the outdoor pool size to 25 metres will eliminate the possibility of the athletes to train in a longcourse pool during the long-course season, potentially putting them at a competitive disadvantage,” said Johns.

At least 15,000 athletes from across North America have participated at Summerfest during the past 50 years, while the meet is one of the most popular events in Canada since Saskatchewan is one of only two provinces that offers outdoor long-course competitions, he continued.

Also, Moose Jaw is one of only three Canadian cities — Montreal and Vancouver, the others — with an Olympic-sized outdoor pool. However, in Saskatchewan, Swift Current, Prince Albert, Regina and Saskatoon are the only communities with indoor Olympic-sized pools.

The club’s concern is that that half-century legacy would cease without a 50-metre pool, and not only would athletes lose out on a competitive opportunity, but there stated. Research shows that Summerfest generates roughly $100,000 annually for the community. tion rate per year, it (an Olympic-sized pool) would generate $8.5 million from our swim meet alone by 2072,” he added.

The club normally holds one outdoor competition a year and one indoor competition a year, attracting about community, Johns told Coun. Doug Blanc.

Meanwhile, the club has a rental agreement with city hall to use the outdoor pool from early June to late July, depending upon the events athletes qualify for. If they reach the Canada Games, they train through August.

Elite club competitors train 14 hours a week, including 10 to 12 hours in the pool and two hours on dry land, Johns told Coun. Jamey Logan. Meanwhile, unless there is a thunderstorm, the club will train in any weather.

New outdoor pool to cost $9M, feature waterslide, have new change rooms Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw’s new outdoor pool will likely cost about $9 million, have 25-metre lanes, feature a waterslide and splash pad, and have separate buildings for change rooms and mechanical equipment.

Furthermore, city hall could see an annual increase in es, leading to a net annual savings of $184,000.

Those are some highlights in a document dealing with the replacement of the 56-year-old Phyllis Dewar Outdoor Pool. Derek Blais, director of parks and recreation, reviewed the replacement plan report during city council’s May 9 regular meeting.

Council later voted 5-1 to pursue funding for the new outdoor pool via the federal Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP).

Coun. Kim Robinson was opposed. Coun. Crystal Froese was absent.

Financial costs place the outdoor pool had a budget of $5,060,578, with the municipality responsible for $2,560,578, Blais said. the plan has been updated and the budget has increased $2,465,489.

The current outdoor pool has 50-metre lanes, but the proposed new pool would have 25-metre lanes. If council wanted a venue with 50-metre lanes, there would be two options but with trade-offs, Blais remarked.

The projected capital cost for a 50-metre pool with a jected capital cost for a 50-metre pool with a larger splash pad and no waterslide is $11,412,778.

“Both options are also projected to cost the city $52,950 more to operate than the 25-metre option,” he

expenses.

History The Phyllis Dewar Outdoor Pool was built in 1966 as an Olympic-sized venue, while a paddling pool was added in 1980 but closed in 2020 due to safety and maintenance concerns, Blais said.

This pool is the only 50-metre outdoor venue in Saskatchewan and one of the only outdoor pools with sevenand 10-metre diving platforms.

In 2017 there were almost 20,000 people who used the pool, while that number declined to 14,419 visitors in 2019 and 9,765 last year, the report showed.

“We feel that is due to a lack of accessibility and amenities for all ages. Since then, we’ve brought on spray parks in the community, so that is more attractive to families,” added Blais.

Accessibility and mechanical issues Anyone with physical limitations cannot easily access the outdoor pool since they must walk upstairs into the Natatorium and then downstairs to the change rooms and pool, he said. The current pool depth, entry points and overall lack of modern features restrict the ability to welcome all residents.

Most mechanical equipment at the pool and Natatorium is original and approaching 60 years old, noted Blais.

Water consumption has doubled over the past 10 years — the pool piping system leaks regularly and cannot be repaired without ripping up the deck.

Community support In March, the parks and rec department asked residents for feedback about its 10-year master plan, including their top 10 priorities.

Of those surveyed, an outdoor aquatic centre was the top outdoor amenity desired. Furthermore, of the top 5 outdoor venues that need improvements, 57.8 per cent of respondents said the Phyllis Dewar Outdoor Pool required

“The construction of a modern, fully accessible, and inclusive outdoor aquatic facility will better meet the community’s needs and would serve as a popular attraction to the local area,” Blais said.

Location and pool features The new outdoor pool will be built on the existing site in Crescent Park. The venue will be separate from the Natatorium since the new mechanical equipment will not

The new change room/mechanical building will be a standalone feature, with the wall entering the change rooms — which can accommodate 500 patrons — showcasing the history of the pool and Natatorium.

“It’s important to show our history,” said Blais.

A new competitive lap pool will have eight 25-metre lanes and include an accessible ramped entry, deck-level diving board, one-metre diving board, starting blocks, lane ropes and markings, and stainless-steel ladders and rails. sure pool with a depth of one metre and a waterslide 40 metres in length with a 4.6-metre drop.

The new pool will likely contribute to the municipality’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions because of innovations in the venue, said Blais. For example, the change room and mechanical room will operate four months a year, LED lighting will be used throughout the site, and air conditioning will only be installed in the staff areas.

Program enhancements The outdoor pool will have longer operating hours to

be closed for two months instead of one for longer maintenance, Blais said. The Sportsplex pool was built in 1996, so extra time will be needed to complete upgrades over the next 10 years.

“As council is aware, our recreation facilities are subsidized, so when the doors are closed, it is an opportunity to save some money,” he remarked.

Project cost estimates There has been a 78-per-cent increase in the cost to build the outdoor pool since the initial capital construction

Some contributing factors include a 117-per-cent increase in costs for the change room and mechanical building, a 49-per-cent increase for the aquatic amenities and mechanical components, a 12-per-cent increase in site preparation and additional site amenities, an extra $104,940 for project management, and a contingency budget of 10 per cent.

Blais added that the new outdoor pool will likely be open by July 1, 2025.

While the opportunity still theoretically exists to build a pool with 50-metre-long lanes, city council made the “difing for a smaller, cheaper, more attractive venue. to support the parks and recreation (P&R) department’s application for a federal Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) grant for the Phyllis Dewar Outdoor

Coun. Kim Robinson was opposed, while Coun.

Crystal Froese was absent.

The current outdoor pool has 50-metre lanes, but the proposed new pool would have 25-metre lanes. City administration noted that building a bigger pool would cost an extra $2.5 million and eliminate some new features.

The Moose Jaw Flying Fins swim club spoke to council earlier in the meeting and explained how 50-metre lanes would keep the club competitive.

Council discussion hour. Why did we not have two grant applications pre-

50-metre (pool) is very, very low because we are applying for funding for 25 metres, and then we have to put in an extra $2.5 million ourselves.

Robinson added that the Flying Fins’ presentation was wasted time since the decision to build a smaller pool had been made last November. He thought eliminating the last outdoor Olympic-sized pool in Saskatchewan was wrong Since he was a kid, Mayor Clive Tolley has regularly visited the outdoor pool and noted that the venue has been a big part of Moose Jaw for decades. He didn’t want to lose the Flying Fins’ annual swim meet but didn’t think council could justify spending more money to build bigger lanes to support a once-a-year event.

“I want the next generation to go off the tower (as port shows the city can generate more revenues with a smaller tank, a leisure pool, and a waterslide.

“We’re making a decision here; it’s a tough decision. … but the world’s changed, and the customer is different, and we’re attracting tourists to our city and all kinds of people that don’t even swim and want to go to this pool Tolley then wondered whether the new pool would retain the diving tower, have the same depth, and what

The Fourth Avenue (Thunderbird Viaduct) Bridge and Ninth Avenue Southwest had the dubious distinction of making the worst roads list during this year’s campaign.

The former placed seventh and the latter placed tenth.

The media asked city manager Jim Puffalt about those roads during a scrum after the recent city council meeting.

“As you know, we don’t want to be on that list. It’s not The City of Moose Jaw has worked hard to maintain streets and infrastructure, including replacing 20 kilometres of cast iron pipes and related roads during the past six years, he continued. The problem with these two streets is the municipality can’t put heavy equipment on them, so it does what it can with them.

City hall is working to maintain the viaduct while also planning to replace it, but that’s not much else that can be done, Puffalt continued. He pointed to the installation of a catcher beam earlier this year as one example of a temporary structural enhancement.

Meanwhile, Puffalt said that the Ministry of Highways is responsible for Ninth Avenue Southwest — the section leading out of the city — via its Urban Highway Connector Program. He explained that through the program, the ministry was supposed to return the road to the municipality in a new or refurbished condition — which didn’t happen.

“As you know, there’s a number of issues with that

“We think we’ll have that one resolved fairly quickly The new design for the Fourth Avenue Bridge is 90-per-cent complete, so city hall is looking for funding opportunities since the project will cost at least $20 million, he said. These opportunities include cost-sharing with the federal and provincial governments or acquiring funding grants “to make that project a little more affordDespite being on the worst roads list, there is no extra urgency within city hall to work faster on the two road for a while, Puffalt continued. The city has been working on those streets “for a very long time trying to get them I’ve actually been recorded as calling one a rollercoaster, so that one (Ninth Avenue Northwest) is a rollercoaster … control and maintenance is to replace them (cast iron pipes and related streets) when we need to.

“So, we’re working really hard to get there. And those

Unaesthetically pleasing’ construction site frustrates Wellesley Park residents Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

City hall is spending over $2 million to build a new wastewater lift station in Wellesley Park, but the construction zone is leaving some area residents frustrated with the mess.

Coun. Dawn Luhning inquired during the May 9 regular council meeting about how long it would take to complete the project. Residents have complained to her about wanted to know when the site would be cleaned up and returned to its previous condition.

The new lift station building is complete and is being put through the paces for commissioning, said Bevan Harlto demolish the old wastewater building.

“I haven’t heard of anything unique or unusual about

races the swim club could continue to hold.

In response, parks and recreation director Derek Blais said the pool’s depth would increase to three metres from one metre with higher diving boards, reducing utility savings. Furthermore, the swim club could host short-course meets but not the traditional long-course meet. he understood building 50-metre lanes would cost more, he didn’t want to have future regrets about not constructHe didn’t want to lose the proposed leisure pool — which would be eliminated with bigger lanes — and didn’t want to lose the swim club’s annual meet either. However, he acknowledged that a waterslide is attractive to families.

Coun. Heather Eby was excited that the application was going in quickly, wasn’t in favour of changing the application so close to the deadline and thought council could further discuss the pool’s size when federal funding arrived.

“Then we can dive in from there … (and make the) Eby then asked why council didn’t see this report and application weeks ago.

This report wasn’t presented during the April 25 meeting, Blais replied, because the department received the conceptual design and budget estimates at the end of April after that meeting.

City to refurbish faded ‘no parking’ signs on Ninth NW this summer Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Ninth Avenue Northwest might be faded and hard to read, but city hall says they must remain up so police can enforce those zones.

During the April 25 regular council meeting, Coun. Heather Eby asked city administration whether those signs could be removed or replaced since the lettering is faint and it is almost impossible to read what they say.

After researching the issue, city administration provided a written answer during the May 9 regular meeting.

“The signs on Ninth Avenue Northwest must remain in place for the Moose Jaw Police Service Stephanson, director of public works and utilities, wrote.

Department staff inspected the signs and found that, while they are physically in good condition, the no-stopping symbol has faded, he added. The department will renew those symbols this summer.

After receiving the report, Eby was pleased to hear that city hall would address the signs.

“I look forward to those signs being refurbished

Homeschool families re-connect with friends during conference at Briercrest Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The pandemic made large gatherings almost impossible for two years, but an education organization helped re-connect people this past weekend who shared the goal of homeschooling their children.

The Saskatchewan Home Based Educators (SHBE) held its annual conference in Caronport from May 13 to 14 at Briercrest College and Seminary. The theme was “Connecting Forward” through homegrown education.

Session topics included parenting with a purpose to reach children’s hearts, a panel for moms and dads, toddler to teen years, homeschooling in high school, new to homeschooling, engaging in a learning journey, and other related sessions.

Plenary speakers included Jenn Dean, Kerby Court and MP Andrew Scheer.

Dean is a parenting coach from Regina who founded Families Matter Most, an organization that helps families thrive. Court is from Moose Jaw and is the co-founder of HumbleStrong, Inc., which helps teachers, coaches, and parents understand how to transform daily challenges into character, growth, and hope. Scheer is the MP for Regina-Qu’Appelle and will discuss how to be involved in communities.

“It’s wonderful. I think connection is incredibly important and people need to be encouraged with one another,” she said.

“Even some of the panels that we’re having, like just being able to hear some different ideas from different people and be encouraged, it’s so important for mental sanity.

“As homeschooling families, we pour a lot into our families and into our communities … .”

The focus for youths is on college and leges and acquire the tools to launch into

adulthood by learning about issues such as For adults, the conference will focus on engagement and equipping parents with the tools to help their children succeed.

Normally the conference attracts 250 to 300 families from across the province, but about 200 will attend this year, said sidering society is still moving out of the pandemic.

There are 300 to 400 families in the Prairie South School Division who homeschool their children, while the SHBE Moose Jaw chapter has 156 members on its private Facebook page, she continued.

“It’s a large community,” she remarked.

Dunbar estimated that roughly 3,000 families across the province homeschool their children. That number was about

With a laugh, Dunbar admitted plenty of work and commitment goes into homeschooling. She noted that parents make staying home to teach their kids.

“A lot of famous people throughout history have been homeschooled, actually, a lot of brilliant people,” she said.

“Because, they’ve been able to personalthey’re interested in. And really, the sky’s the limit (with homeschooling), so they can go as far as they want.”

If parents are considering homeschooling, Dunbar added, the conference is a good time to look into it.

5 Outdoor Living Trends Taking Over in 2022 Make your outdoor space just as stylish and comfortable as the rest of your home with this year’s top trends.

Whether you have a sprawling backyard, a cozy front porch or a sliver of a balcony, today’s outdoor spaces are increasingly being designed for everyday use, rather than sporadic weekend parties or warm-weather grill-outs. Many homeowners now depend on these outdoor areas to provide additional living space, a peaceful escape, and a connection to nature that their homes might otherwise lack.

Weather permitting, a wide variety of activities including work, play, cooking, relaxation, and entertaining are all moving outdoors.

To accommodate these new needs, the latest outdoor living trends embrace the comfort, convenience, and style common to home interiors. Tap into the full potential of your outdoor living spaces with these top trends for 2022.

1. OUTDOOR WORKSPACES For many, remote work is here to stay, and work-from-home setups are getting a fresh spin. While makeshift workstations at the dining table or couch were common throughout the past few years, 2022 is the year of the allow you to carve out a spot for work, crafts, homework, and more without taking up valuable space indoors.

2. STRUCTURED OUTDOOR ROOMS Patios, decks, and other outdoor areas are increasingly being treated bonus living areas. This outdoor living trend is driving an uptick in furnishings that reinforce that room-like feel, such as built-in seating and shade structures that provide a “ceiling” overhead. Homeowners seek out ways maintaining that open-air feel.

3. PATTERNED SURFACES Just like a bold area rug can liven up a living room and new tile can transform a bathroom, adding patterns underfoot is equally impactful outdoors. We’re now seeing homeowners using stenciled designs to spruce up concrete patios and painting deck boards with eye-catching patterns. For a more permanent dose of pattern, install patio pavers in alternating colors to create a geometric pattern, or trade

Back Yard Living Eight Tips for Hosting the Best Summer BBQ host an epic barbecue.

There’s no better way to entertain in the summer months than a casual get-together involving friends, burgers, and picturesque sunsets. Make your backyard barbecue party one to remember with these 8 tips.

Take a Seat You don’t need to coordinate a formal sit down affair, but do be sure to provide plenty of seating for standing around, balancing their plate of food as they attempt to dine!

Get Groovin’ Set the atmosphere with a killer playlist, and keep the tunes going all night long (or at least until your neighbors put up a fuss). Aim to provide upbeat background music that’s loud enough to set the mood, but not so loud that guests need to shout over on.

Avoid a Condiment Catastrophe to the relish go? Skip the fuss and portion out condi-

ratio, but you know your audience best. Provide non-alcoholic options like iced tea and lemonade, and always offer water.

Entertain the Masses Provide a few low-key activities for guests to partake in, if they choose. Horseshoes, bocce, and croquet are a sure bet, so put out some sets and let attendees play at their leisure. Provide sidewalk chalk for kids, and let them take care of the evening’s décor.

Screw them to the 2×4 holding the two long pallet boards. This completed the four sides of the box.

pallets are listed for free in Facebook groups or on Facebook Marketplace.

You can also check the commercial or industrial areas in your town and see if there are any that a business may be getting rid of.

Just be sure to ask before you take them! Also, try to check for pallets that have wood in good condition (but sometimes even pallets with broken pieces can be used for other projects, if you have room to store them). to have had chemicals spilled on them.

Also, look for pallets that have been heat treated (they should have HT stamped on them) and not chemically bromide which is toxic).

How to Build Your Planter Box from Pallets raised garden bed For this garden bed, the size is approximately 2 by 4 feet. The longest pallet boards are just over 4 feet so that became the length of the box.

You need at least 4 long pallet boards of the same length, 2 for the front and 2 for the back, to make the length of the box.

Step 2: Build the pallet planter box Make sure you pre-drill all your holes as you go along because pallet boards are thin and tend to split when drilling.

Simply screw two long pallet boards to two pieces of 2×4, which should be cut to the appropriate width of the two pallets on top of each othfront and the backside.

Then cut four pallet boards to 2

Now build the bottom Flip the frame of the planter box over so that the bottom is facing upof the base.

Add some support to attach the pallet boards so centre a pallet 2×4 on to each long side and cut two pieces sides. Then add one to the center for additional strength. to screw all the bottom pallets across the base of the box frame width-wise tached, the box is complete! let planter box on the ground, you can skip ahead to step 6 below.

Step 3: Raise your garden bed by adding legs While a ground based planter box works perfectly well, you may want your garden bed to be raised to waist height. Not only would it keep more weeds and pests out, but it makes it

To add legs to the planter box, simply screw the 2x4s into the base of the pallet box and the 2×4 frame inside of it. over and screw from the top down into the legs.

Next, reinforce the legs with a couple of 2×4’s for the width of the box at the base of the box where the legs attach.

This will give them extra strength and keep the structure from being wobbly.

You don’t want your raised garden to come crashing down!

Step 4: Add lower support Now cut a couple more 2×4’s for extra support and attach them with screws about 3 inches or so from the bottom of your legs.

Eventually, you may want to add some more pallet boards here for a shelf.

Step 5: Cover the legs This step may be optional for you, however it makes the planter box look strength and sturdiness. the raised garden bed, then screw them onto the legs and box. They cover up the ugly pallet 2×4’s and increase the overall stability of the base.

Step 6: Add tarp to your raised garden bed (optional) While this step is optional, it’s one that is recommend for a few reasons.

A tarp, strip of jute, or garden fabric can help to keep your soil from slipping through the cracks in the pallet boards. A tarp also adds a little bit of protection for the pallet boards so the wood isn’t continually moist from the soil (so it lasts even longer).

To attach, simply place inside to cover the bottom and sides of the box. Use a staple gun to attach it to the interior of the box, and cut it once it is secure.

Repeat for a second layer of tarp (if you like) and staple it really well.

Make sure to cut a few holes in the bottom to allow for excess water to drain out. Too much water can damage roots and kill your plants. the bottom of the box, at the creases between where the pallet boards meet.

Step 7: Add some potting soil to your DIY raised garden bed Now that your pallet planter box or raised garden bed is complete, move it into the spot you want it. You’ll want to do this before you add the soil because it becomes quite heavy!

Rachel Marsden is a columnist, political strategist, and host of independently produced talk-shows in French and English. rachelmarsden.com “Information is now being shared by institutions,” said Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland. “Financial service providers have already taken action based on that information.” All because these individuals were exercising their democratic

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. © Alexey Furman/Getty Images Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made a surprise visit to Kiev this [past] week. Given that the threat level in the city has been reduced to the point where U2’s Bono can now play an impromptu concert, the real surprise is that Trudeau was photographed without his face mask, which has been nearly omnipresent when he’s on Canadian soil.

Trudeau’s mask-wearing serves mainly as propaganda in an ongoing attempt to justify his vaccine mandates to Canadians. Required for citizens to board an airplane or train within their own country, the mandates effectively keep many stuck at home and unable to travel, but also can prevent them from working, as being fully jabbed is a condition of employment in some cases.

While almost 82% of Canadians are double-jabbed, only 35% of Ukrainians had received two doses of an anti-COVID out on February 24, according to Time Magazine. And yet Trudeau was traipsing zone while he insisted on hiding from Canadian truckers and their Freedom Convoy supporters when they convened on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill earlier this year.

Instead of engaging in dialogue to protesters seeking an end to COVID-related mandates, Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act, which hadn’t been used in Canada since Quebec separatism sparked terrorist attacks in 1970. The measure caused personal bank accounts to be blocked based on association with – and donation to – the cause.

Fresh off this authoritarian bender, Freeland accompanied Trudeau to Kiev.

“We know that in standing up for themselves, the people of Ukraine are standing up for democracy and international law – and we stand with them,” she tweeted.

Much like mask propaganda apparently doesn’t matter anymore when you’re not trying to scare people into submission, democracy also only seems to matter when the Western establishment is trying to justify involving itself in another Speaking at a press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Trudeau announced a further donation of weapons to Ukraine, including $1 million in small arms and ammunition.

The Canadian prime minister has failed to heed the warnings of experts that the country’s weapons could end up in the hands of militia groups or stolen and sold on the black market, according to statebacked CBC. Trudeau’s concern is highly selective when it comes to weapons. Back home after his trip, Trudeau tweeted: “We’re

disinformation.” Nothing says “democracy” quite like crackdowns on freedom of inconvenient information out of step with Western government narratives. Under Trudeau, the Canadian military has already been deployed to shape public opinion amid the COVID-19 crisis by using propaganda techniques derived from military psychological operations in Afghanistan. And now his government is trying to further impose government control over free speech with an “Online Streaming Act.” Trudeau has no business uttering the

Given that Trudeau’s government has overseen the military education of actual neo-Nazis in Ukraine, one would think he would have picked a different day to visit Kiev than the anniversary of the defeat of that ideology.

Tone-deaf Trudeau’s trip strongly suggests that instead of peddling his utopian vision for democracy in Ukraine, he here to and uphold his own lofty values and standards at home rather than doing everything that he seemingly can to erode them.

RE: OBSERVATIONS IN HOUSING Housing has become a major issue in Canada.

Soaring prices have caused major problems in family structure. As a University graduate, one of my observations speaking with other University students, as well as members of the general public, have expressed concerns on rent affordability and how costly it has become to buy a home.

I remember speaking with seniors who had genuine concerns as they were on pensions and had anxiety on the increases in rent every year in some places.

Younger Canadians are avoiding starting families and in a way avoiding having children, since families are becoming more and more focused on paying rent and the anxiety around this issue.

Flying Fins continue to show improvement, pick up medals in Saskatoon

Lin was joined by Abby Bowles, 12, Elizabeth Colenutt, 14, Rowan Gray, 14 and Dayna Newberry, 15 in recording personal best times across the board. Newberry had an especially impressive showing in the 400m free, taking an impressive 103.70 seconds — or close to two full minutes — off her time in the endurance swim.

Moose Jaw competitors fall short of medals at high school badminton provincials Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express Medals just weren’t in the cards for Moose Jaw and area competitors at the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association provincial badminton championships on Saturday in Rosthern.

Cornerstone Christian School’s Kenzie Behrns had the closest brush with hardfore falling short, while the Central mixed doubles team of Jaylon Salido-Porter and Ember Dusomme were unable to pick up a win and Briercrest Christian Academy’s Ike Wong just missed the playoffs.

Behrns, who came into the tournament as the defending silver medalist from the last time provincials were held back in 2019, put together a 2-1 record in her round-robin pool to advance to the playoff

round.

She opened the tournament with a

The second match was a different story, as Wong would battle to a 21-19, 16-21, 21-16 win over Muenster’s Riley Sylvestre. Like Behrns, that win made for

Sophie O’Neal before losing a hard-fought 21-9, 19-21, 21-12 match to Shellbrook’s Marissa Skavlebo. That meant Behrns’ next contest was a must-win if she was to reach the medal round, and the Falcons standout would come through with a 2119, 21-14 win over Lloydminster’s Emma Gray.

Behrns drew a tough assignment in 10, 21-11 to eventual gold medalist Nataly Eng from Regina O’Neill. That sent Behrns into the bronze medal match, where she’d drop a 21-14, 21-16 contest to Choiceland’s Grace Chamberlain.

Wong ran into a buzzsaw right off the bat in his tournament, as he dropped a 21-16, 21-6 decision to Regina Leboldus’ John Kozak, who would win gold without

Lawn Bowling Holds Its First Tourney As Membership Drive Opens

Canucks endure doubleheader sweep in 18U AAA action Diamondbacks take 10-6 and 10-2 wins in pair of games in Saskatoon Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

It was another weekend where things just wouldn’t go right for the Moose Jaw 18-and-under AAA Canucks in the Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League.

As a result, the local squad remains winless on the season with an 0-7 record after dropping both ends of a doubleheader 10-6 and 10-3 to the Saskatoon Diamondbacks in Saskatoon on Sunday afternoon.

Doris Sitter School of Dance celebrates return to stage with big win at Dance Inspirations Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express In a dance season that was more or less just a chance to get back on stage and return to competition for most studios, any kind of success was just an added bonus.

When you’ve been away from one of the best parts of the whole dance scene for a couple of years, getting back on stage was just as important to the youngsters and their teachers as anything else.

But that’s not to say winning isn’t fun.

For Moose Jaw’s Doris Sitter School of Dance, they were able to do so in one of the biggest events of the season in the Friendly City during the Dance Inspirations competition at Peacock Collegiate. prestigious Dance Challenge on Sunday afternoon, with in the Senior division.

Dance Inspirations and features the top performers from best-of-the-best, with thousands of dollars of scholarship money up for grabs.

“It was pretty exciting for us and the kids,” said Darla Zerff, director of Doris Sitter School of Dance. “Before COVID, they won it two years as well, so it was exciting to be back on stage and we were really happy for the kids to be in front of an audience and to do so well.”

The Dark Knight wasn’t just a one-off winner, either — the DSSD also took their show on the road to Medicompetition’s version of the Dance Challenge.

Having a program show as well as The Dark Knight

place in the Dance Challenge Senior division with their Jazz performance of The Dark Knight. did was a product of plenty of preparation and hard work, as was the case for the entire crew of successful and winning programs DSSD had throughout Dance Inspirations.

“It was just an idea that came to me that nobody had seen before, so I thought we’d give it a try,” said choreographer Anita Bauck. “I thought it would compliment our dancers, the music that was picked out and the kids that we were working with, it seemed like something they would be able to pull off quite well.”

Once the basics were in place, it was time to get rehearsing, with plenty of time and effort going into solidifying the end product.

“A lot of work goes into all the groups from the studio, it’s countless hours that go into picking out the music, working on the choreography and having the kids work as a team and in unison,” Bauck said. “It’s a lot of work and

a lot of time gets put in, but it’s all worth it.”

Making the whole season especially worth it was the chance to see folks from other studios they hadn’t crossed paths with in two years. That, and a chance to show off to family and friends everything they’d learned in the long time away from full-on competition.

“A lot of the parents haven’t seen their children dance for the last two years, you had some of the little ones that were so young and now they’ve grown so much.

Their parents see them on stage and they’re like ‘wow, when did she get that big and tall and older’,” Zerff said with a laugh.

“It was nice to see the other studios, too, because we know what they’ve been through the last couple of years and it was nice to see how they’ve come along,” Bauck added. “A lot of studios struggled through the last couple of years, as many businesses did, so it was nice to be able to support each other and see each other at the competition as well.”

The season isn’t quite done as of yet for Doris Sitter School of Dance. before holding their recital on Friday, May 28 and Saturday, May 28 at the Mae Wilson Theatre. It’ll be a chance to have fun in front of everyone who might not have had a chance to catch them at Dance Inspirations, and is certain to be an enjoyable pair of shows.

“That’s what’s been missing the last couple years for the kids and it’ll be a lot of fun,” Zerff said.

Showtime for both events is 7 p.m. Tickets are going fast.

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express It’s been just under a month since Regina’s Rebels Cheerleading Athletics Team Smoke accomplished something no other team from Saskatchewan had even come close to doing.

Ever since their win in the International Open Five division at the Cheerleading Worlds in Orlando, Fla. at the end of May, it’s been a whirlwind of congratulations and sheer amazement in their incredible accomplishment — and rightfully so, given the calibre of competition and skill on display from all the teams at the event.

And Moose Jaw’s own Kendall Robinson has been a part of it all.

Robinson, a 15-year-old student at Central Collegiate, was right there on stage with her teammates when judges announced that RCA Smoke had pulled off their feat, leading to celebrations that continued into this past week with a special Gold Party at Local and Fresh in Regina last Thursday night.

“It’s kind of like a dream come true, ever since I was young doing cheer I’ve been wanting to do something this crazy and I think it’s pretty surreal,” Robinson said. “The last couple of weeks have been really fun, spending a lot of time with my teammates mostly and just remembering everything that happened.”

RCA Smoke had put together a solid season leading into Worlds, but as one would expect, when you’re up against the best teams from all over Canada and the rest of the planet, expectations were high but tempered.

Smoke arrived in Orlando a week in advance with a straightforward plan — get prepared and most important-

“It was very important, a crucial part of how well we did,” she said. “We were able to get used to the heat and practicing outside helped us quite a bit.”

Then the competition started. And no sooner had the they had something serious going on — when the scores were announced, they weren’t just off to Finals, they were

Then it was time for the World championship announcement. RCA Smoke huddled on the stage as team name after team name was called, until only they and Rising Stars Eclipse remained.

And then came the moment.

‘The 2022 World Championship is going home with…. Smoke!’

“It was almost surreal, that moment plays in my head ished our performance, we’re all holding hands and telling each other that no matter what happens we had a really good season. And then when they said we won, it was just incredible.”

Since that time, it’s been one long celebration, even including a stop at the Saskatchewan Legislature to be honoured by the provincial government.

Even a month on, it’s all still a bit hard to believe for Robinson, even though they truly did pull off an accomplishment of a lifetime.

“It took a couple days [to sink in] maybe, and sometimes I still don’t think it’s real,” Robinson said. “It’s all been so amazing.”

Now, it’s on to the future.

Rebel Cheerleading Athletics team Smoke are now defending world champions, and with that comes the pressure to repeat — pressure Robinson is sure her crew is up for.

“I think we’ll do really well next year, too,” she said.

“I think we can come back even stronger next year and show what we can do again.”

Even with that preliminary success, there was still one more performance in front of the judges, and while coach Eric Bestvater said there were a few small issues that might have hurt their score, the chance was still there.

On the stage during the performance, the girls of Smoke were giving it their all.

“It was very fun, very high energy and everyone was on the stage. “The team was really excited just to have the chance to be there.”

Community Wellness Collaborative May theme: Kindness and Generosity The Community Wellness Collaborative is a community group that came together following the pandemic when the community noticed a rise in mental health concerns, At about the same time the Ministry of Education announced that one of the Provincial Education Interim Plan Priorities was the Mental Health and Well-Being of students and staff across the province. The Committee exists to support the Mental Wellness aspect of Mental Health and in so doing to support the School Division, families and communities with regard to promoting preventative strategies. One of

these preventative initiatives is a monthly themed newsletter related to Mental Wellness.

From October until June, a monthly theme package is put together by one of the representatives and their organization.

The committee’s hope is that the entire community can learn more about the same mental health wellness topic each month.

The monthly theme package will be distributed to all staff in both local school divisions, and will also be sent out to community-based organizations.

The theme for May’s Communi-

ty Wellness Collaborative Newsletter is Kindness and Generosity, and offers differing perspectives on “kindness matters” for all ages. In a time when distance, disease, and disasters have been in the forefront of news in our lives, this newsletter leans into the need for kindness and generosity to inspire hope and resilience. It features projects that children and adults alike can undertake in spreading kindness near and far, from being a “RAKtivist”(one who performs Random Acts of Kindness), to engaging in a kindness cal-

that being kind to yourself and others is good for both the giver AND receiver’s nally, resources are offered to encourage self-compassion: the practise of turning that kindness inwards. It is our hope that through championing kindness, we just might inspire “Kindness Champions” in our community and beyond, and start an epidemic of care and compassion.

Always look on the bright side of life, (Come on) always look on the right side of life.

Sanguine Monty Python’s Life of Brian is a satirical comedic movie about the story of Brian Cohen, a Jewish-Roman man born on the same day and next door to Jesus in Palestine odies the climactic section in the 1960 movie Spartacus, Brian.

This ploy does not change the situation, but Brian’s spirits are lifted as fellow sufferers join in singing “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life,” a song by Eric Idle of Monty Python.

Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad, other things just make you swear and curse.

When you’re chewing on life’s gristle, don’t grumble, give a whistle, and this’ll help things turn out for the best, and . . . Always look on the bright side of

The word sanguine derives from the Latin sanguineus, meaning relating to blood. In the 14th century sanguine “Her sanguine hair contrasted sharply with her pale comby exertion, alcohol, or the stress of shyness, a sanguine countenance, described what we often term “turning red in the face.”

Then in the 16th century, sanguine became associated with an optimistic personality. This came about because of the observed temperaments of people that ancient scholars believed were caused by an abundance of were thought to be blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile. Each was associated with a particular personality type. An optimistic person was said to have an abundance of blood, therefore a sanguine character. A phlegmatic person was unemotional and calm due to a lavishness of phlegm. A large quantity of yellow bile produced a choleric disposition, an extrovert and logical persona. A cautious and depressed temperament, melancholic, was caused by an abundance of black bile. Medical science has rejected this theory ages ago but some in the psychoto this day.

If you have a sanguine disposition, you probably

love adventure and have a high-risk tolerance. However, you may be poor at tolerating boredom. A sanguine nature is carefree, lively, and buoyant. This trait puts a strain on relationships. People with sanguine temperaments can easily struggle with addiction in many areas. Artists and sanguine personalities.

Perhaps if we all had a little more blood in our systems, we could become more sanguine about the state of the world and our future in it. Every few days seems to bring another problem to the forefront in our lives. These things can cause us to be melancholic. If only there was fusing more blood to create hopefulness and optimism.

St. Paul wrote, “I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. I can do all things through him who on life become more sanguine so together we can move forward to make this world a better place.

Knights of Columbus bike fundraiser to support orphans in Ukraine Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

A Catholic men’s group in southern Saskatchewan plans to cycle more than 100 kilometres on Highway 1 as part of a fundraiser to support orphan children in Ukraine.

The Knights of Columbus Bishop Budka Council No. 5914 from St. Basil’s Ukrainian Catholic Church and volunteers and sponsors are hosting the 100 Mile Bicycle Trek Fundraiser on Saturday, May 21 and Sunday, May 22, with participants cycling 50 miles each day.

The event kicks off at 8 a.m. in Regina from Tim Horton’s in Harbour Landing and heads west on the Trans-Canada Highway to Moose Jaw. The group leaves The Friendly City the next day at 8 a.m. from the downtown Tim Horton’s location and heads back to The Queen City.

Those expected to participate include Knights of Columbus members, volunteers, bicycle club riders, youths, wheelchair athletes, law enforcement personnel and anyone else who wants to support the cause.

The organization has supported orphaned children in Ukraine for the past 10 years and provided resources to meet their needs, including helping them stay out of the sex trade and supporting their mental well-being, explained Terry Shalley, events co-ordinator and project leader.

Life was tough in Ukraine for families before the war started, he continued. Many parents divorced because of

kids because they could not afford to look after them.

This forced youths onto the streets, and in some cases, After Russia invaded Ukraine, the Knights of Columbus saw a need to enhance its support — with food, clothes, medicine, baby supplies, and more. The number of orphans has increased because their parents have died “I came up with the idea. I just thought it’s such a worthy cause… ,” Shalley said. “We had a priest last year who was part of our organization who did a bike ride for wheelchairs in Ukraine prior to the war. And he rode all across Saskatchewan last summer, so we built upon the legacy of what he did.”

While the fundraiser also commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Knights of Columbus in Saskatchewan, supporting orphans is the focus of this activity. All money raised will go toward addressing their needs.

Shalley noted that the organization has people in Ukraine who provide regular updates — sometimes daily — by pictures and text messages about their work.

That group is the Sisters of St. Joseph, a registered charity based in Saskatoon. A handful of sisters were

retrieve youths.

While there are thousands of orphaned children in Ukraine, the sisters have worked with about 500.

“They’re angels. They’re like guardian angels out there,” said Shalley. “And we see evidence of it. Again, my friend gets the texts and we see pictures and you go, ‘My goodness!’

“They’re God-given angels, I tell ya.”

Many people throughout the Ukrainian Catholic community in Saskatchewan have relatives in Ukraine — including Shalley — and have attempted to stay in touch with them. He added that some people have brought relatives to Saskatchewan with their own money, while others are looking to the federal government for help.

All donations raised during the fundraiser will go to the Sisters of St. Joseph, which will purchase supplies and distribute them to kids in Ukraine.

All donation payments can be made per mile or lump sump to St. Basil’s Ukrainian Catholic Church at 1747 Toronto Street, Regina, S4P 1M5 or by e-transfer to seredam@sasktel.net.

For further inquiries, contact Shalley at 306-5709131 or 306-584-7689 or tfshalley@accesscomm.ca.

OSAC presents cross-cultural fusion Hip Hop Hoop Dance in June The Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils (OSAC) is Terrance Littletent, First Nations Hoop Dancer, and Chancz Perry, Hip Hop dancer and choreographer, in a cross-cultural fusion performance to 45 Saskatchewan Schools. They will be performing in our city and region in the very near future.

Details of the tour can be found at hiphophoopdance.ca/.

Perry and Littletent share a historical, educational, and inspiration perspective on the blending of their traditions and dance genres.

Littletent is an educator, producer, performer, and world champion hoop dancer from the Kawacatoose Cree Nation. He was born in Regina and inherited traditional teachings from his family and elders, singers and dancers, storytellers and academics.

Littletent began learning dance techniques and movement skills at six years

years of experience on stage and screen and behind the scenes. He has a diverse

At 19, he was recognized as a world-renowned hoop dancer. He has travelled across Canada, the US, and performed overseas as a Grass and Hoop Dancer, singer, and storyteller.

Perry is an entertainer with over 30

in Early Childhood Education from SIAST, a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance, a Bachelor of Arts in Criminology from Simon Fraser University, and is taking a pause from his Master’s of Education in Art Therapy at the University of Regina to pursue his arts work.

As a producer, choreographer, and triple-threat performer (actor, singer, and dancer), Perry has been nominated for two Jessie Richardson Awards and won the Vancouver Sun Reader’s Choice Award for Entertainer of the Year. He is often an Artist in Residence at Regina public and Catholic schools and is the Outreach and Program Coordinator for Dance Saskatchewan, Inc. He spends time as a sessional instructor at the University of Regina in several departments.

City lights clock tower yellow to support ending violence against women, children The clock tower at city hall was lit yellow from May 13 and 14 to honour Moose Hide Campaign Day, an initiative that seeks to raise awareness about ending violence against women and children.

Mayor Clive Tolley and Lorna Himmelspeck and Darlene Veroba from the Southern Plains Metis Local 160 met at city hall on May 11 to proclaim May 12 as Moose Hide Campaign Day. The campaign is a First Nations-led grassroots movement of men, boys, and Canadians that seeks to push back against and end violence against women and children.

The campaign was founded on the side of the “Highways of Tears” in British Columbia in response to the injustices and violence that women and children in Canada — particularly those who are Aboriginal — have faced over the decades.

“They just started the campaign, and it just really went viral,” Himmelspeck said.

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express taught — and coming to realize — that violence against females is no longer acceptable.

“It’s not the just women saying they’ve been violated. The men and the boys are seeing it as well,” she added. … to spread that word.”

Research shows that half of all women in Canada have experienced at least one violent incident since age 16, while this reality is worse for indigenous people, a news release said.

The Moose Hide Campaign has distributed nearly three million moose-hide

conversations about the issues of violence the pin indicates a person’s commitment to honour, respect and protect the women and children in one’s life, work to end gender-based violence and work toward reconciliation with First Nations people.

During the proclamation at city hall, Himmelspeck explained that each colour on the Metis sash has meaning, with red for blood, white for fertility, yellow for happiness, green for prosperity and black for “the dark days.”

The goal of participating in the Moose Hide Campaign is to reduce those “dark days,” ensure there are more happy days and be united, Tolley said.

Veroba, treasurer of Local 160, said she likes being part of the organization since she can learn more about Metis culture. She never learned about her culture as a child since it was considered “voodoo,” so she appreciates what Himmelspeck and president Darrell Hawman have been doing to teach her and others.

“It’s nice to learn that and pass that onto my children. And my children are now learning where their roots came from as well,” Veroba added.
