Joan Ritchie Jason G. Antonio Gordon Edgar Joyce Walter April Meersman Randy Palmer Ron Walter Ag Journalist John Kreutzwieser This summer in Moose Jaw is lining up to be a busy one, with lots of activities and events to please everyone. On June 18th from 7-8:30pm there will be a Coffee House at the Moose Jaw Public Library Herb Taylor room to highlight World Refugee Day. A number of refugees from different countries will be sharing their struggles so that the general public Joan Ritchie can become more aware of a refuEDITOR gee’s experience. As probably a lot of Moose Javians have already noticed, our community is becoming more-and-more everyday a melting pot of numerous cultures integrating into the framework here. The other day when I dropped into Superstore for a couple of items, as I was in the counter line-up, I noticed that both the individuals in front of me and also behind me were all of different ethnicities speaking in their native language. Hearing stories of their plights during the coffee house will bring a new level of empathy and understanding to what circumstances they have endured. You’ve probably already noticed an upswing in tourists milling about the downtown core of Moose Jaw. I sure have! With tourism numbers increasing week by week, a number of upcoming events are highlighted. Canada Day is a day for all Canadians to wear the maple leaf proudly. It seems Tourism Moose Jaw is giving up the mantle of organizing the day, however, the Moose Jaw Kinsmen Club will continue on holding the torch to oversee the event. However, Tourism Moose Jaw said they will have upcoming Canada Day information posted on their social media pages for anyone interested. Sidewalk Days has been a favourite over the years, as it grows further and further north up Main Street with new booths and kiosks featuring the latest and greatest merchandise, much of it appealing to the bargain shopper looking for a great deal, not to mention the wide array of food options available to enjoy and lots of fun activity to be had. This year, Sidewalk Days will be held the weekend of July 7-9th. And who doesn’t enjoy the excitement of a local fair? From June 23rd to 26th, there will be smiles and bursts of excitement as kids of all ages head to the Moose Jaw Exhibition Grounds for hours of fun at the fair! A major highlight this year will be the RCMP Musical Ride, only available to those with gate entry, and take note, gate entry is only available the day of the fair. Car shows anyone? The highly esteemed Highway to Heroes Car Show will return for a July 16th showing on the tarmac at 15 Wing. Their last car show was held in 2018 with over 500 vehicles on display and over 8000 spectators taking it in. Artists, artisans, shoppers and more, take note…ParkArt will again be held July 1st in Crescent Park in front of the library and Moose Jaw Museum and Art Gallery, featuring a mecca of more than 40 booths of handmade artworks and crafts displayed and for sale.

The Honourable Justice Georgina Jackson, Dr. Bonita Beatty and Prof. Mark Carter comprise the three-member commission responsible for re-adjusting Saskatchewan’s federal boundaries. Saskatchewan has 14 Members of Parliament, which means the province must be divided into 14 electoral ridings.

Increase in tourists in 2021 bodes well for this year, Tourism Moose Jaw says Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The tourism industry slowly returned to pre-pandemic levels in 2021, and while numbers were still below baseline, Tourism Moose Jaw (TMJ) was nevertheless excited to highlight its successes recently. The organization held its annual general meeting on May 30, with roughly 20 member businesses in attendance. Reports were provided by the past president, current president and executive director, bylaws were updatOf note, TMJ expects to receive a new heated, air-conditioned, wheelchair-accessible trolley by July. The vehicle costs $321,000, of which $295,000 was paid using a federal grant, while the organization paid the remaining $26,000. Finances Tourism Moose Jaw’s balance sheet stayed consistent year over year, with the organization having a cash balance of $156,344 at the end of 2021 versus $135,760 in 2020, said treasurer Marta Woodrow. The organization had revenues of $420,667 — nearly double that of 2020 — and expenses of $432,687, leaving

‘Get out and enjoy the summer’: Mayor proclaims June as Parks and Rec month By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

After proclaiming June as Parks and Recreation Month in the City of Moose Jaw, Mayor Clive Tolley joined members of the Parks and Rec department to play the sixth hole of the Wakamow Valley Disc Golf Course, where the announcement took place. “I just want to encourage everybody to get out and enjoy the summer,” Tolley said. “I rode my bike down here today, I’m trying to lead by example in terms of getting some exercise and enjoying our parks.” The City is inviting residents to participate in a “Notoriously Active” social media showcase campaign. In cooperation with Wakamow Valley, the City has created an activity calendar with an activity for each day of June. Residents can post a picture on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, tag the City of Moose Jaw, and hashtag #NotoriouslyActive for a chance to win some prizes. The calendar is available at moosejaw.ca/parks-recreation-culture/recreation-guide/. “The real prize for everybody, anytime is just being

hole of the course. Also present for the announcement were Shelly Howe, Recreation Services supervisor; Alisha Amey, Recreation Services clerk; and city councillor Doug Blanc. “It’s really good to see the citizens of Moose Jaw out enjoying themselves,” Tolley said. “Make sure you’re one of those people, get out and get some exercise.”

Osmachenko highlighted the disc golf course, as well as the new West End Park playground, the new playground at Clark Gillies Park, and the playground under construction at Moose Square.

CITY HALL

Mayor admits error after discussing private details at public meeting about

The next regular council meeting is MONDAY, JUNE 13

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

COUNCIL NOTES

Mayor Clive Tolley has admitted that he vision at a community event even though city council had not announced the board’s future at the time. “Yes, I let it slip (during the Chamber of Commerce’s May 10 event) that we were going to be thinking about contracting that work out as opposed to having a Board of Revision. And then I, of course, realized it had been in (executive) committee, but it hadn’t been made public at a city council meeting,” he said during a media scrum after the May 24 regular council meeting. “So, I apologized for that comment. But I don’t think any harm was done. I think that people were there (at the chamber forum) to talk about their assessment, their appeals, and try and understand the system better. And unfortunately, I made a slip-up.” The Board of Revision (BOR) is a quasi-judicial tribunal that hears property

assessment appeals and determines if an error has been made in valuations. The while the Saskatchewan Municipal Board (SMB) is the next step if either the municipality or property owner disagrees with the initial decision. When asked whether council had talked about replacing the board behind closed doors during its May 9 executive committee meeting, Tolley said he couldn’t remember when or where council had discussed the issue. “My recollection isn’t that great … ,” he remarked. “But I do know that it had not been part of a council meeting, so it had not been passed at council.” Although the issue wasn’t discussed in public at council before his slip up, Tolley noted that such discussions have occurred. Last June, he was on the board and joined chairman Terry Gabel during an in-camera presentation to council. “So I think there’s been discussions

going on in the community for quite a few years about what other communities are doing, do they have a Board of Revision, (and) are they contracting it out,” Tolley said. Asked whether the media and public should have heard council’s discussion about replacing the board, Tolley said that these are “big issues for the community.” He reiterated that he attended the chamber forum to understand better what the community thinks about property assessments and related issues. “I don’t think there’s been any behindclosed-doors drama to any of this. I think it’s been an honest communication and honest discussion within the community and within council about how best to serve the citizens,” Tolley said. “Assessments are a bit of a mystery to most people … .” Council hired a private company — Western Municipal Consulting (WMC) — to handle the initial property assessment appeals and see if it “gets a better experi-

ence” with more favourable outcomes, he continued. If this idea doesn’t work out, a future council can reinstitute a citizen-led board. The Saskatchewan Assessment Management Agency (SAMA) handles property valuations for most cities — including Moose Jaw — unless those cities hire their own assessment agencies, Tolley pointed out. Council hopes that WMC can reduce the number of appeals sent to the SMB since it’s expensive to defend SAMA’s assessments. Tolley noted that the citizen-led Board of Revision only had two members this year — the chairman and secretary — because of a lack of experienced members. “It’s a work in progress. We’re trying to do things to improve the process for the city and the citizens of Moose Jaw … ,” he added. “We’ll just follow it through and see what seems to work the best.”

Changes to city policies make it easier to rent indoor ice or turf Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

City hall is making it easier for residents to access ice time, sports courts and indoor turf at community venues by adjusting the booking and usage policies for certain venues. During its recent regular meeting, city council unanimously approved amendments to the City of Moose Jaw’s arena use policy and the Yara Centre booking and usage policy. Below is a summary of the changes to each policy.

Arena usage policy The arena usage policy outlines the city’s annual seasons and allocation processes to use arena ice and the Kinsmen Sportsplex sports court. The policy is reviewed annually to ensure the seasons and booking processes remain applicable based on current use and demand. The previous start date to use Mosaic Place ice was the last week of August and the previous end date was when the War-

PUBLIC NOTICE Rural Municipality of Moose Jaw No. 161 NOTICE OF INTENTION TO AMEND ZONING BYLAW 6-2011 Notice is hereby given by the Rural Municipality (R.M.) of Moose Jaw No. 161, pursuant to The Planning and Development Act, 2007, that Council is considering to amend Bylaw No. 62011, the Zoning Bylaw, by rezoning the following property as shown below from AR – Agriculture Resource to PHC – Prestige Highway Commercial/Industrial Zoning District: NE 11-17-27 W2 – proposed Commercial Subdivision Purpose: 1) To amend the Zoning Bylaw No. 6-2011, of Moose Jaw No. 161, by rezoning the NE 11-17-27 W2, from AR the Agriculture Resource to PHC – Prestige Highway Commercial/Industrial Zoning District in order to accommodate the remaining area of the proposed north east portion of the multi-parcel Commercial/Industrial subdivision. The area is designated on the RM of Moose Jaw No. 161 Future Land Use Map for Commercial/Industrial activity due to the high visibility along Highway #1.

is Aug. 15 and the end date is April 9, or when the Warriors’ season ends. The previous start and end dates for Kinsmen Arena ice were Sept. 15 and March 31, respectively, while the new start and end dates are Sept. 12 and March 15. The previous start and end dates for the Burt Hunt Arena ice were Oct. 1 and March 15, respectively. Under the updated policy, the start date remains and the end date is April 9. The previous start and end dates for the Wally Boschuk Arena ice were Oct. 15 and March 15, respectively. Under the updated policy, the start date remains the same and the end date is April 9. Meanwhile, the Kinsmen Arena sports court’s start and end dates were April 15 and Aug. 28, respectively, but those dates April and the third Sunday in August, respectively. Other changes to the policy include: Updating the off-season rate periods, with regular-season ice booking rates now applying from Oct. 1, 2022 to April 9, 2023. This means the adult prime rate time will still apply for all September ice rentals Updating the ice allocation timelines Removing the increased fee for unnow apply instead Removing the pre-emption special event fee for regular minor users and returning to seasonal ice Adding direct billing credit approval

Inspection: The proposed Bylaw Amendment may be inspected at the R.M. office between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. noon and 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. from Monday through Friday, excepting holidays. Public Hearing: Council will hold a public hearing to receive submissions on the proposed bylaw at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, July 12, 2022 in the Council Chambers of the office of the R.M. of Moose Jaw No. 161, 1 410 Caribou St. W., Moose Jaw, SK S6H 7S9 to hear any person or group that wants to comment on the proposed bylaw.

and refund and cancellation terms to align with billing practices in other venues such as Yara Centre Adding a section on how dressing rooms will be allocated and prioritized Yara Centre policy The booking and usage policy for Yara Centre has been updated because the last time the policy was amended was in 2021. Since then, city hall has renewed prime tenant agreements with Moose Jaw Minor Soccer and Saskatchewan Selects Football. Some changes to the policy include: Renaming the policy to Yara Centre Booking and Usage Policy from Field House Booking and Usage Policy Updating the scheduling timelines and allocation timelines Adding wording to the programming priority section to say that bookings must be made before April 215 to quality as a regular user Updated the general usage and booking conditions section, including organized and drop-in use and turf use, set up and clean-up Adding a section about meeting spaces so that such spaces are subject to department rates and fees and not included in the bookings Updating the annual policy review timelines so city council approves any policy changes in February of each year so changes can be implemented before the start of the new booking season

City council needs to perform more scrutiny of management recommendations The controversy over the Coteau Street bridge highlights the need for Moose Jaw city council to perform more scrutiny, more pointed questioning, of city administration. Some months ago a review of the bridge resulted in city management asking council to demolish the old structure. Apparently, without council’s knowledge, city management had made a deal with CN Rail to obtain $150,000 for demolition. Council in the puppet-like rubber stamping performance it has adopted since the 2020 election was ready to approve demolition. Only protests by residents of the area pushed council to ask for a second look. Reading between the lines, it seems city management wants to rid the city of what managers deem to be unneeded assets and reduce maintenance budgets. Their resumes look better if they can show they have eliminated costs and reduced budget needs. What councillors and voters sometimes forget is that interests of city managers and the city residents are not always aligned. Once upon a time, managers stayed for long periods of time and became part of the community. Their personal interests were more aligned with Moose Jaw residents.

The current generation of civic managers often hops jobs for what is considered more prestigious, better paying positions. Our current city manager was manager at three smaller cities before arriving here from Estevan. Other civic department heads similarly move around regularly. As much as he was often [a person who scrutinized and questioned everything], former Councillor Brian Swanson is missed for his digging and disclosures of behind the scenes discussion from closed door meetings. Current city management relies too heavily on the Privacy Act to keep discussion of issues in-camera, out of public view. True, management and council can say no decisions were made behind closed doors. But taxpayers don’t know if a consensus was reached behind closed doors. Or was some opposition brow beaten until caving in? We don’t know. Voters deserve to know how decisions were reached or if “handshake agreements’’ were made in-camera. __________ In another vein, the plans for one-side parking only on the narrow streets in the Avenues districts show the need for a Member of Parliament with Moose Jaw interests at heart. Under federal safety law, the streets must be made The proposed solution, subject to more consultation with affected homeowners, is parking on one side of the

when veterans of the Fenian Raids more than 20 years earlier placed decorations at the Canadian Volunteers Monument in Toronto. The following year, the public took notice, with 30,000 people taking part in remembrance ceremonies during the 25th anniversary of the Raids. It’s since become an annual event, focusing on Canada’s battles as a young nation before the First World War. Travale has an interesting connection to Decoration Day. He grew up in Hamilton and often made his way down Limeridge Road, near where the Battle of Ridgeway took place to mark the beginning of the Fenian Raids. Decoration Day in Moose Jaw included the traditional laying of wreaths by dignitaries from the Legion and Anavets, 15 Wing and Saskatchewan Dragoons, along with the playing of the Last Post and Rouse on bugle by Capt. Rick Elmer before bagpiper Michelle Gallagher played the Piper’s Lament. Comrade Justin Eddison — himself a veteran of the Afghanistan war — told of the history of Decoration Day, and 15 Wing chaplain Rev.

PART 1: WW2, Kharkiv, Ukraine and NAZI War Criminal Kurt Meyer (PART 2 to follow next edition) By Richard Dowson Prologue: This Project was undertaken because of the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. We like to think military commanders are held accountable for the War Crimes of their troops. Few are. Kharkiv Kharkiv is the second largest city in Ukraine and is being shelled and bombarded by the Russians in their 2022 “Special Military Operation”. Kharkiv was shelled and bombarded by the NAZIs in WW2. Kharkiv, known as Kharkov during WW 2 Soviet Era, was attacked and occupied by the NAZIs in October 1941. Immediately, the Mobile Death Squads, the Einsatzgruppen, arrived and began killing people. The NAZI Death Squads killed thousands. They focused their brutality on Jews but indiscriminately killed communists, prisoners of war (POWs) and average citizens.

At a ravine called Drobytsky Yar, about 10 Km south of Kharkiv the NAZIs killed 16,000 Jews. This is a memorial to those who were murdered. Battles at Kharkiv (Kharkov) and Waffen SS Member Kurt Meyer Kurt Meyer participated in the World War operations against the Soviet Union. He was no stranger to NAZI ideology. At age 25 Meyer joined the 1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler, the “LSSAH”. The Unit was Hitler’s personal bodyguard. Meyer’s NAZI Party membership card was 316,714. His SS card was #17,559. The ‘LSSAH’ killed thousands of POWs on the Eastern (Soviet) Front. In Kharkiv (Kharkov) they murdered wounded Soviets troops in the hospital.

Agrimart: Saskatchewan to See New Pasture Carbon Sequestration Measurements

On May 30th, Canada’s Agriculture and Agri-Food sector received 3.2 million dollars of funding towards carbon sequestration research in pastures and forages. Funded under the Strategic Research Initiative, researchers Angela Bedard-Haughn and Cameron Carlyle of the University of Saskatchewan will lead the study. in perennial forage and pastures across Saskatchewan. The project will produce maps that accurately measure carbon in pastures and rangelands in Saskatchewan. In doing so, the researchers hope to identify management practices that promote carbon sequestration for ranchers throughout the province. “This is the kind of ag-related research we continually encourage and prioritize in Saskatchewan to keep our producers competitive, sustainable and working toward a future we can count on.” Marit told the public. The project is now backed by 11 different industry groups, proving its importance to the agriculture industry in the province. The Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association is contributing $100,000 towards the total amount,

Great Plains Power Station wants local businesses to reach out, Burns & Mac says By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

The Moose Jaw & District Chamber of Commerce hosted a Meet & Greet at Grant Hall on June 1 as an opportunity for the many contractors, sub-contractors, and suppliers working on the Great Plains Power Station to connect and get to know each other. “The project is on schedule, and we’re increasing the manpower on a daily basis,” said Brad Butcher, Burns & McDonnell’s site manager for the project. “The manpower currently is about 350, headed for 410 at the end of June. We are starting the electrical phase of the project. … The mechanical phase is ongoing, the boilerwork has started. … And multiple other components will be coming over the summer.” Progress includes the May 24 delivery of the gas turbine that will be the heart of the plant, as the underground phase nears completion and construction begins to reach skyward. Additional major contractors at the event were PCL Energy and Graham Industrial. “This is the second time that I’ve had the privilege of working with Burns & McDonnell,” said James Savage, PCL’s construction manager. “Just like the last one that we did for SaskPower, out at Swift Current, it’s starting off so far, so good.” PCL’s work includes piping, scaffolding, equipment placement, and painting. PCL is a signatory of the Saskatchewan Indigenous Engagement Charter, and Sask-

The project has used 249 Saskatchewan companies so far, Butcher reported, with 101 of those from Moose Jaw and the surrounding area. In addition, 20 per cent of the site’s workforce are from Moose Jaw, and 86 per cent overall are from Saskatchewan. “We’re really proud of those numbers,” Butcher said. “I mean, 86 employment per cent, that exceeds our expectations.” “Tell your neighborhood business to send information out to Jamie (Cuthbert),” Rob Clark, CEO of the Moose Jaw Chamber of Commerce, said during his remarks. Burns & McDonnell site manager Brad Butcher reports progress on the Great Plains Power Station at Grant Hall on June 1. Over 50 contractors, sub-contractors, and suppliers mingled at the event (photo by Gordon Edgar) Power has reported an anticipated increase in Indigenous engagement on the project over and above that of the Swift Current Chinook Power Station. Chris Gingras, district manager with Graham Industrial, said that “We’re really excited about this project. Graham, about 97 years ago, was founded out of Moose Jaw. … We’ve expanded a lot since then, obviously, we’re a pretty big company spread out across Western Canada and the US, but this is kind of a hometown project for us.” The evening included an invitation

SRC to study nuclear batteries with Westinghouse Electric Canada By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

The Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Westinghouse Electric Canada to advance the study of very Small Modular Reactors (vSMRs) in Saskatchewan. Nuclear energy holds intriguing potential for a green future. Reactors large and small are capable of generating sigThey have no impact on the climate, and the disposal of the small amounts of waste they create is becoming cheaper — and, in some cases, even reusable. The safety record of nuclear is the best of any power source. Even wind and solar energy cost more lives, mostly due to accidents during construction. “(Nuclear) really is very exciting,” said Mike Crabtree, president and CEO of SRC. “Nuclear utility-scale energy generation is going to be a core part of the renewables plan and the plan to net zero.” Studies of utility-scale nuclear power are proceeding in partnership with SaskPower, but the MOU with Westinghouse is much more local, and relatively tiny. on low loaders,” Crabtree explained. “It which is quite incredible when you think about it.”

Nuclear batteries could be part of a green future (not an accurate representation of an eVinci micro-reactor) (happyphoton/iStock/Getty Images Plus) Westinghouse and the SRC will locate one of Westinghouse’s eVinci micro-reactors to Saskatchewan — hopefully some“We are proud to work with SRC to provide customized solutions to Saskatchewan’s clean energy needs with our eVinci micro-reactor technology,” said Edouard Saab, president of Westinghouse Electric Canada. “Building on decades of innovation, the eVinci micro-reactor brings carbon-free, transportable, safe, and scalable energy, while creating jobs in local communities and advancing Canada’s net zero goals.” The eVinci is incredibly small by nuclear reactor standards, and incorporates -

watts (mW) of electricity, over 13 mW of high temperature heat, or operate in a combined electricity/heat mode. It is essentially a rechargeable nuclear battery, Crabtree said. It will be built and fueled in the US, then transported to Saskatchewan. While in transit, the eVinci acts as a secure containment unit — the nuclear material is “cold,” due to the control rods being inserted. Control rods are made from neutral chemical elements that interfere with reactivity and slow it to almost nothing. They are removed or inserted by degrees to manage power output. Once the reactor reaches its site, it “And when you want to shut down the reactor, you ‘simply’ actuate the rods, you allow the reactor then to cool down over a period of time,” Crabtree explained. “Once the reactor reaches its cool transand it is transported back to its point of manufacture. “And, in fact, that’s actually what years of operation.” The reactor site is nothing more than a concrete plinth. The nuclear battery is passively cooled, and doesn’t need on-site maintenance.

Crabtree said there was no downplaying the amount of work that will go into safety, environmental, and regulatory prois going to be intensive. However, the reactor is designed for remote northern communities, mining, and industrial sites. “The reactor needs to be intrinsically safe in those environments,” he said. “And the design is very appropriate for these types of operations.” The heat, power, or combination of heat and power that the reactor can generate has wide applicability. Producing hydrogen, desalinating drinking water, providing heat to a community during the winter, edge-of-grid power boosting, and more — SRC and Westinghouse are excited to explore the possibilities. This year marks the 75th anniversary of SRC. It is Canada’s second-largest research and technology organization, countries around the world. “SRC has always been at the leading edge of technology and innovation and that has contributed to our longevity and success,” Crabtree said.

Warriors’ Yager named Western Hockey League Rookie of the Year fourth Warrior in history to claim prestigious title Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express As fans of the Moose Jaw Warriors can tell you, forward Brayden Yager was something special to watch this past season in the Western Hockey League. The 16-year-old rookie took what he the spring of 2021 and hit the ice running right from the drop of the puck, with his hat trick on opening night against Saskatoon announcing his presence to the Mosaic Place faithful. It just kept going from there, and the WHL noticed. Last Wednesday, Yager was announced as the winner of the James Piggott Memorial Trophy as the Western Hockey League Rookie of the Year, putpaign for the Saskatoon product. The news came as a surprise to Yager, who was relaxing at home earlier in the week when a call came in from Warriors general manager Jason Ripplinger. “Ripper phoned me in the morning and asked if my parents were around so I went and got them and he told us the good news that I was the Rookie of the Year for the WHL,” Yager said of how he found out the news. “I was a little bit in shock, but it settles in after a bit and we were really happy. I’m really pumped and it’s a huge honour.”

out much better. “It’s obviously a grind, you get after Christmas and you start to feel fatigue and stuff, but coming into the year I didn’t have any numbers in mind and just played my game,” he said. “It was pretty cool

There were a lot of goal celebrations for Brayden Yager this season, and it all paid off with the Jim Piggott Rookie of the Year Award on Wednesday. Yager led all 16-year-old players with 34 goals and 59 points in 63 games, setting a Warriors franchise record for most goals by a player his age. He never went more than three games without at least a point, ing game came on Jan. 25 in Edmonton, in Moose Jaw’s 8-1 win. in the WHL, things couldn’t have worked

seeing the fans and all that stuff was awesome, and then to do it with all the guys in that room was pretty special.” Yager felt the key to it all was sticking to what worked throughout his career, in addition to playing alongside some pretty high-level talent. “My teammates play a big role in it for sure as well, a guy like Jagger Firkus, I played with him all year and he had himself a pretty special season as well,” he said. “So to play with him was really cool and it helped a lot.” Yager was up against Swift Current’s Owen Pickering, Kelowna’s Andrew Cristall and Seattle’s Kevin Korchinski for the honour. “It was more than those three guys, A.C. had an unbelievable year, so did Korch and there are a lot of other 05s who had an unreal season as well,” Yager said. “So it was pretty special to come out on top and get the award.” Of course, with a league honour of this stature comes additional attention,

especially heading into a player’s NHL stride, though, and keep going with what’s worked in the past. “People say it might be a little added pressure, but I’m not going to think of it as pressure,” he said. “It’s something I’m going to take advantage of, we have a really good team for next year and we’re going to be looking to do something special. “With the draft I’m not going to try and think about it too much, it’s going to be in the back of my mind but I’m just going to do what I can to play well, play my game and hope it’ll go well.” An important part of that will be the work Yager plans to put in during the off-season, with a focus on overall growth a major goal. “I’m going to try and get bigger, stronger and faster, one thing for me is I want to be powerful,” Yager said. “One of the assets of my game is powerful skating and shooting, so I think that’s probably going to be my plan this summer. Work on strength a little bit here, then get into power and agility and hopefully have a shot at representing Canada at the Ivan Hlinka this summer.” For more on the Warriors and their upcoming campaign, be sure to visit www. mjwarriors.ca

Those who decide to go competitive can take the greens in provincial, national and world-level competitions, with the likes of former Moose Jaw competitors Ernie Meid and Charlie Taylor having done so at all three levels in the past. But those who just want a bit of exercise and fun are more than welcome at the same time. “It’s such a friendly sport,” Jones said. “It’s very competitive when you’re

on the green, but afterwards, you can go have fun whether it’s competitive or just for a good time.” Those looking to get involved in the game can drop by the club during any of the regular member nights, including Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7 p.m. as well as Tuesdays at 9:30 a.m. Members are more than happy to welcome newcomers and will show you the ropes; all you need is a pair of comfortable shoes, and you’re good to go. “There are lots of people here bowling at other times, but these are times when it’s committed to be open, so if people want to bowl they can just phone,” Taylor said.

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express The Moose Jaw Canoe and Kayak Club couldn’t have asked for a nicer day to hold their annual open house in Wakamow Valley. Not only was the weather gorgeous, paddlers were able to enjoy almost calm conditions on the Moose Jaw River, perfect and checking out the beautiful scenery in the valley. Folks were more than happy to take things in, too, as a steady stream of visitors to the clubhouse at the Wakamow dock made for a busy day for Moose Jaw Canoe and Kayak Club instructor Mark Gilliland and the club’s members. “It’s been busy, we’ve been going steady since 10 o’clock, signing up lots of new members and some old members and doing some orientations,” Gilliland said shortly after chatting with a newcomer on Saturday afternoon. “We have a beautiful day for this, so it’s been busy and it’s been great to be out.” Things have picked up and then some as the weather has grown warmer, a wel-

come return given the slower summers the last two years. “The last couple of years with COVID have been kind of compromised, people have been kind of hesitant to join clubs and things like that, and I don’t blame them,” Gilliland said. “But this year, things are more or less back to normal and here we go.” The club offers a host of options for those looking to get into the sport. They have a wide selection of both sport kayaks and two-person K2 kayaks in addition to canoes for members to use on their journeys. Instructors will teach you all you need to know about safely making your way around the water, something that has become a prime focus for the club in recent years. “It’s more a grassroots, family-oriented, learn-to-paddle kind of thing and that’s much appreciated by the Moose Jaw community, and it’s been going pretty well,” Gilliland said. “We can teach them what they need to do, and then they can use

skills they learned here anywhere. They can rent a kayak somewhere else and have wherever they are.” The club regularly heads out on group paddles in the valley, and the scenery during their trips makes it all worth it. “It’s an appreciation for the history of Wakamow and for the ecosystem that’s out here, it’s pretty cool,” Gilliland said. “There’s so much wildlife to see, like turtles right now. Painted turtles are doing really well, then here’s lots of beavers and mink and muskrat and snakes and foxes and deer. And even at night, we’ll someand sometimes you’ll see whole families of ally interesting, and you never know what you’ll see when you’re on the river.” Folks who really get into the sport and are interested in trying longer trips will have all sorts of support, too — members of the Moose Jaw Canoe and Kayak Club have made many a paddling excursion in the northern reaches of the province and

in Alberta, including trips in a massive 26foot voyageur canoe. “Then there are whitewater trips, too, Upper Red Deer and Kananaskis, places that are world-class playgrounds for whitewater and tripping,” Gilliland said. “So there’s quite a bit you can do if you’re really into it.” The club is continuously looking for new members, so if you’re interested in signing up or checking things out, be sure to visit their Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MJCKC, leave a message, and they’ll be sure to get back to you.

Dance Images by BJ wraps up season with ‘Time to Shine’ recital First event of its kind for local dance studio since 2019 plays to full house at Peacock’s Centennial Auditorium on Saturday and Sunday Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express For two long years, the Dance Images by BJ did their thing in the safest manner possible during the pandemic, following guidelines and doing whatever they could to stay active despite not being able to perform in front of crowds. This past weekend, it was their Time to shine — with that phrase acting as dance recital since 2019. Performers ranging from tiny threeand four-year-olds all the way up to graduating seniors took the stage at Peacock’s Centennial Auditorium for shows on Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, giving parents, grandparents, friends and family a chance to see their youngsters in action. “It was awesome, it was a great show and it was great to be back on stage live,” said Dance Images director Barb Jackman after Saturday’s show in front of a packed house. “The kids were pumped, the parents were pumped, everybody was pumped and it was so much fun.”

Pre-Beginner 1 Ballet perform When I Grow Up. Dancers took to the stage across all disciplines, from tap to jazz, hip hop to acro and everything in between. Many of the older performers showed off their versatility, rolling through a musical theatre performance before throwing on a differballet routine. While those performances were some of the highlights of the night, it was the

Musical Theatre 1 & 2 perform Anastasia.

show, as is usually the case. “When you see the little guys and how darn cute they are, then you see the ly our seniors, sometimes I have to pinch myself and as ‘how did they go from there to here’,” Jackman said. “We have tons of good role models for our dancers to see and aspire to.” That’s also one of the most positive aspects of the recital format, something Jackman and her fellow instructors are more than happy to take advantage of — show off the youngest dancers and follow right up with the most experienced veterans the studio has to offer. “The beautiful thing about a dance recital is you see the little ones right up to the big guys,” Jackman said. “It’s good for everybody to appreciate the growth the dancers make and it’s great for the parents to see what their little dancer could develop into. I always love having a three- and

four-year-old class on and then the seniors come on after that, it’s like ‘whoa’.” Of course, when it comes to running the kind of recital Dance Images puts together, it takes a small army of volunteers to keep it all going smooth backstage — something especially important when you have a couple dozen pre-schoolers to wrangle. “It takes a huge group of people to run our show because we run it non-stop, so everybody has to be where they have to be and you don’t get to wait around,” Jackman explained. “We have a great group of volunteers, though, and they did such a great job making sure everyone was where they needed to be.” And, of course, there’s the whole aspect of just being back on stage at home again after a season of competitions. “It’s something we missed so much,” Jackman said. “This is something we’ve all been looking forward to for a long more now that we’re back.” The recital brings an end to the 2021-22 season, with Dance Images planning to slow things down in July before returning for a host of events in August — including Kids Summer Fun Dance Camps Aug. 2-3 and Aug. 16-17, their Dance Craze camp Aug. 8-11 and Acro Fusion event on Aug. 12 For more information on those programs and Dance Images in general, be sure to visit their website at www.danceimagesbybj.com.

June 6, 1944 – D-Day and the Royal Canadian Navy Prepared by Richard Dowson

June 6, 1944 was D-Day, and marks the invasion of Normandy, France and the push east to destroy NAZI Germany. These photos are from Library and Archives Canada. They are public domain. I often overlook the role the Royal Canadian Navy played in World War Two. But you could not get from England to France without some [really] good boats. This is little pictorial look at events on June 6, 1944.

Of Note: killed in action in World War Two was WOODWARD, Rodney T, Able Seaman, 2938 (RCN), serving with the Royal Navy at the time of his death on July 19, 1940.

D-Day. They lost 66 men killed that day.

In some of these conversations, references have been made to the history of gun ownership in the US, and implications for the rights and freedoms of citizens. We have had similar exchanges in Canada about freedoms and privacy concerns. Often these debates make mention of a national storyline dealing with the issue. Such conversations need to be clear about the actual historical record. National myths are often cherished far too much to have mere facts besmirch them. Narratives can become so ingrained into the past account that even proven facts cannot change people’s

To smirch something is to stain it or make it dirty. Besmirch is equivalent or an intensive form of smirch. Eventually the word acquired the sense of bringing discredit or disgrace upon something. Smirch may have derived from the French esmorcher meaning to torture or to stain. This comes from the besmirch has connotations of taking a bite out of something clean or good and making it sullied or soiled.

Saskatchewan had seventh-worst lockdown measures during height of pandemic, report suggests Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Saskatchewan had the seventh-worst lockdown measures that violated residents’ Charter freedoms during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, despite claiming it was “following the science,” a new report suggests. On the 40th anniversary of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, The Justice Centre for Constitutional Reform (JCCR) released a report called “Who had the worst bunk in Canada’s locked down barracks?” The document ranks provinces from worst to “least worst” on how they infringed upon Canadians’ Charter freedoms to move, travel, associate, assemble, worship and exercise control over their bodies. The Charter states that Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the “supremacy of God and the rule of law,” with section 2 laying out residents’ fundamental freedoms and section 6 laying residents’ rights to move freely and gain a livelihood, the report explained. “As a citizen of this country, one’s experience of government’s heavy hand one lived. Indeed, many Canadians felt

their country was becoming deeply authoritarian, a police state even,” the document continued. “Even the supine CBC, generally a reliable conduit for the government narrative du jour, published a thoughtful article on how far the violation of personal freedoms The report notes that there was relatively little difference in provincial repandemic. However, over time, the responses to COVID-19 became less similar and less grounded on proven science, even though governments claimed to be “following the science.” The worst province that infringed on Canadians’ rights was Quebec, followed by British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, the Atlantic “Bubble” Maritime provinces, Alberta and Saskatchewan. The report used several Charter-protected freedoms as benchmarks when comparing provinces, including conscience and religion, peaceful assembly and association, open travel between provinces, liberty and the right to not be arbitrarily detained.

In Saskatchewan and Alberta, centre-right premiers were less committed to lockdowns, inclined to impose them later and lift them earlier, the report said. It’s notable that when nearby B.C. was closing houses of worship completely, neither Alberta nor Saskatchewan prohibited in-person worship entirely. “Having the least bad bunk in Canada’s lockdown barracks is nothing to be proud of. I hope that Saskatchewan’s pollarge do not congratulate themselves in relation to this new report,” said John Carpay, president of the JCCR. “In every Canadian province, the ‘two Besides governments clamping down on so-called “misinformation” about COVID-19 and vaccines, even colleges of physicians silenced doctors who spoke against lockdown measures or vaccines. Dr. Francis Christian, clinical professor of general surgery at the University of Saskatchewan and a practising surgeon for over 20 years, was suspended in 2021 from

His crime was arguing publicly on June 17, 2021, against injecting children with the new vaccine. While he was vaccinated and recommended vaccinations for others, he was concerned about the lack of informed consent for kids. “This should apply particularly to a new vaccine that has never before been tried in humans … before the vaccine is rolled out to children, both children and parents must know the risks of mRNA vaccines,” Christian wrote in an open letter to colleagues. He noted that he had not come across any vaccinated person who had been adequately informed about vaccines for children. “We conclude that in a time of widespread Charter violations by all provincial governments, the rights of Canadians living in Alberta and Saskatchewan were the least breached during the two years of lockdowns,” the report said, adding that life in Saskatchewan was “minimally impaired compared to the rest of the country.”
