Fewer donations mean food bank shelves could be bare

by October — or sooner Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The nursery rhyme about Old Mother Hubbard having bare cupboards could soon apply to the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank, as it faces more clients and fewer donations.

The number of new clients and corresponding food hampers has grown recently, with seven to 10 new people coming almost every week, said development manager Jason Moore. Furthermore, the organization is seeing a higher return of people who haven’t used the food bank’s services in a while.

The intake process shows that many new clients are low-income singles and families who work and make about $30,000 a year, he continued. These people “were just kind of scraping by” before “They’re kind of left in that pickle: do (they) pay the bills or buy food? And that’s a really sad place to be. It’s unfortunate that working people are experiencing that,” Moore added.

The food bank expects families with summer because kids won’t be receiving breakfast or lunch through school programs, he said. Furthermore, parents will be forced to pay more for daycare, putting The pandemic has also made it diftions through events, Moore continued.

It couldn’t hold its Better Together Food Drive during the past two years, a fund-

Meanwhile, the Mosaic Community Garden — and residents with gardens — usually helps the food bank by providing produce at the end of the summer. The food bank also relies on federal grants to purchase foodstuffs.

“We are super blessed that the Better Together Food Drive is going to return this year, but until then, until October, we need to be able to provide the service to an increasing number of people,” he said.

“And when hamper prices (on the food bank’s end) are $50 for a single hamper or … $120 for a family hamper, that a thousand people a month. And sadly, almost half now are children.”

The food bank normally receives about 75 per cent of its fresh produce from community grocery stores, but it is starting to see a decrease in what stores provide.

Moore noted that stores are struggling to keep their shelves full due to gas prices and freight challenges.

The food bank wants gardeners to grow an extra row of produce this year and

Furthermore, canned fruits and veggies are much cheaper than fresh produce.

“Things don’t look like they’re going to get better anytime soon, so we need to be mindful and good stewards of everything we have and still be able to provide the service we do to our community,” he added.

“But Moose Jaw has always been a generous city and our community always digs deep. And I think our community is others. And so, we’re really counting on that this year.”

Moose Jaw will then deliver the food to Moose Jaw Housing complexes and seport since the whole community is struggling with increased living expenses, Moore continued. Moose Jaw has been “super generous” in the past with supporting the food bank, so the development manager is curious to see what happens this year.

Since he has been spending a lot of the mornings/afternoons and evenings outdoors on the deck soaking Joan Ritchie up the Vitamin D, his temperament has EDITOR been elevated to a more optimistic level.

Being 88 years old with some mobility issues, as well as other things that compound with age, it’s hard to be up in a down world when time and age are working against you.

“Being out in the sun is proven to make you healthier not just emotionally, but physically as well. It promotes healthier attitudes toward diet and exercise, and gives us our dose of Vitamin D which can be hard to get from foods alone. Vitamin D promotes healthy cell and function. Being exposed to the sun can lower blood pressure, create stronger bones and teeth, reduce the risk of breast and colon cancer, and can help to cure skin conditions including psoriasis and eczema.

“Being in the sun also increases our vitality and energy. Richard Ryan, a psychology professor at the University of Rochester states that “research has shown that people with a greater sense of vitality don’t just have more energy for things they want to do, they are also more resilient to physical illnesses.

Apparently, the internet also says there is a close spiritual connection between seeing a robin as a forerunner to good fortune.

“Birds are the messenger of God. They are [one of] the only creatures on Earth that have a body part like angels; yes, these are wings. Different birds have different meanings concerning their color or species. If someone frequently sees a particular bird, they must read about its symbolic meaning…

“When a red robin passes through you, it means joy and happiness. If you are going through a dark and tough time, it only means that the bad things and situations are coming to an end or the cycle is coming to an end. Seeing the red robin close means that good luck is coming to you very soon.

“Therefore the meaning of seeing a robin encourages us to let go of the negativity affecting our lives and embrace a new chapter and a happier phase. Ultimately the robin birds enable us to move forward with grace and determination.” https://www.angelicalbalance.com/ spirituality/what-does-it-mean-when-you-see-a-red-robin/ As ‘fresh-air inspectors,’ we need to get as much sunshine as we can while the getting’s good.

Morshead wrote her Ph.D. thesis on the location of neural stem cells in the brain. Even the idea that the body had its own reservoirs of stem cells was mind-blowing at that time. Her research since has focused on the biology of neural stem cells, and their application to regenerative medicine.

“No one thought the brain could regenerate, so what would it need a stem cell for?” Morshead explained, referencing the initial discovery. “We were always told those stories of how if you have an accident, or if you do too many drugs, you lose your neurons, and you can never get them back.”

That has turned out to be untrue — the brain can adapt and, to a lesser extent, even repair itself in response to injury. However, the capacity is limited.

Regenerative medicine focuses on enhancing the body’s ability heal itself. Stem cells are a type of cell that can become anything. They hold the potential to repair, well, everything.

“Stem cells are thought to be the building blocks for the entire body,” Morshead said. “The idea is either to isolate those stem cells and transplant them back into damaged tissue. … Or the other idea is to harness their potential, if we know where they are and what types of molecules activate them.”

Many approaches have been tried. Research that Morshead said was “earth-shattering” has discovered that

Just making it more known that if you want to get into the trade this is some of the stuff you can expect to do,” Said Derick Adam, one of the Moose Jaw Ford technicians about working with the students.

With the help of the technicians, the students have been taking gas-powered go-karts and installing electric motors in them with a battery pack to make them fully electric.

Owners of vintage vehicles display with pride at Spring Fling show

By Ron Walter - For Moose Jaw Express

The yellow Ford Model T coupe parked in front of the diner at the Sukanen Ship Museum Spring Fling show was a star.

It drew a lot of close inspection and photo shots.

The 1926 coupe is his daughter Dana’s baby, said her father Pat O’Connor.

“It was built by my daughter, her husband and myself and a bunch of her friends.

She’s had the job replaced once because of damage and it was $8,000 to replace it.

She has about $30,000 in the car and she drives it everywhere, rain or shine.”

The car with a GM Crate 350 engine and turbo automatic has logged about “It cruises along really nicely.”

The all steel body can handle the vibration from the engine, he said.

The three-window car was a replacement for the models that had sold 11 milV-8 engine and sold for $485.

The car was a luxury model and became a choice of hot rodders right up into the 1960s, dubbed with name, Deuce Coupe Among the cars on display were eight Volkswagen models from Regina with two camper vans.

Government relief on fuel taxes has limits and consequences With gasoline prices in the $2 pre-litre range, drivers are looking for ways to reduce their gasoline bill. around $120 now and rising.

One of the easiest sources of relief from the pain in the wallet is to look at government and the fuel taxes the province and federal government taxes on gasoline.

It’s easy to tell government to reduce the gas taxes and help out drivers, unless one also asks how the extra The Saskatchewan government budgeted $507.9 million for fuel tax (gasoline and diesel) revenues for The amount of assistance from all levels of government is limited.

In Saskatchewan, the total of federal, provincial, and carbon taxes on gasoline amounts to 39.69 cents a litre.

No GST is charged on Saskatchewan gas.

Just as an aside the Saskatchewan driver pays the highest at 46.48 cents.

Incidentally, those high gas prices in Vancouver and Victoria, B.C. are partly fuelled by local 6.5 to 18.5 cent a litre tax levies.

If both senior governments removed the taxes Saskatchewan drivers would still pay around $1.77 a litre for gasoline.

Senior levels of government can assist all of us by exempting municipalities from fuel taxes.

It makes no common sense at all for one government to charge another level of government taxes. Having one government charge another level of government a tax amounts to double taxation.

Yet it is done with our fuel taxes and little is heard about it, although some municipal organizations have complained and lobbied against the unfair practice.

There is no logical reason to charge municipalities the federal or provincial fuel taxes, other than grabbing tax dollars.

The only reason might be to thwart some dishonest employees or municipal politicians from using exempt gas in their personal vehicles. And that would be minis-

cule compared to the tax relief from an exemption.

The losses in gas tax revenues would be small compared to abolition of the tax, even on a temporary basis.

The best practice to save on rising fuel costs is still likely to reduce the miles of driving.

That may be a hard pill to swallow but it is the hard truth.

Russia has become the pariah to the West and sanctions on oil and gas won’t be lifted soon, especially in view of the investments made by the West to provide Europe with an alternate source of oil.

Mossbank students

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) took three classes from Mossbank School on a of the school’s involvement in the DUC Wetland Centres of Excellence network. “(DUC is) a conservation organization that is focused on conserving, managing, and restoring wetlands and associated habitats for waterfowl, wildlife, and people,” said Suzanne Joyce, a biologist and communications specialist with DUC Saskatchewan.

DUC has been active in Canada since 1938, Joyce said, and its second large wetland project was in Saskatchewan. DUC has many landowner projects such as their forage program, marginal areas program, and wetland restoration help.

DUC’s national Wetland Centres of Excellence program started in 2016 — da to sign on. Since 2017, the school has

Hanbidge and Joyce scooped marsh water and students helped identify the dozens of species contained in just one bucket’s worth of water.

The elementary students were espe-

they came prepared.

“There were a couple that are going on into biology and environmental science,” she said. “They automatically started identifying some things and taking pictures. We started looking at the macro invertebrates with them, so they got a few more species there, and that’s always entertaining.”

Saskatchewan has no wetlands policy, Hanbidge said, and many people look at wetlands as a nuisance. If the wetlands are gone, everything that lives in them and de-

pends on them will also disappear.

“The world is not here for us to take advantage of it,” she added. “It’s not here for us, we’re part of what exists on this planet. And there are so many examples every day where something is being removed so that people can do what they want. … I just think that’s the wrong way to look at the world.

“I think if we can take students — of any age — out and show them what’s there, (they) get a better appreciation of the complexity of the world we live in.”

Prairie South issues over $1.1M in tenders for seven projects across division Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Division administration with Prairie South Schools issued more than $1.1 million in tenders during the past six weeks, with half the money issued for projects in Moose Jaw. Between April 28 and June 1, the division awarded $1,187,193.44 in tenders for seven projects throughout the division, including: · $75,000 to St. John’s Music for band instrument rentals for the 2022-23 school year · $11,779 to Field Plumbing and Heating for an expansion tank at École Palliser Heights School A.E. Peacock Collegiate Craik School tions of roof at Central Collegiate · $220,241 to C&S Builders for window and door replacement at Rockglen School · $158,885.44 to Prairie Mechanical for a rooftop unit replacement at Mortlach School. The company expects to deliver the unit within 33 weeks Ron Purdy, superintendent of business, explained during the June 7 board meeting that the division ofed next year. However, the cost for rentals is within the historical range for that area.

Meanwhile, with the project at Mortlach School and the delay in receiving the equipment, Purdy said that he didn’t know what would happen if that rooftop heating unit failed in the winter.

Survey suggests Prairie South students have higher anxiety now than two years ago Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Every school within Prairie South School Division has focused on connecting and re-connecting with students this year because of pandemic issues, with many developing creative ideas to support those areas.

“As we have learned, for professionals in the trauma fore we can focus on learning, we need to focus on connection,” Amanda Olson, superintendent of learning, said during the June 7 PSSD board meeting.

“Our connection to others is one of the most important factors when it comes to our mental health (and) wellness. Students who have a connection to a caring adult, and feel genuinely understood, have higher self-esteem and higher success rates in school and life.”

To better gauge student well-being, the division conducted its annual OurSCHOOL survey this spring to base its goals and targets for next year. All PSSD students in grades 4 to 12 — 2,079 youths —participated in the survey.

Olson presented the survey results during the board meeting.

Anxiety Students continue to experience various emotions attending school during a pandemic, including anxiety and anxious feelings, she continued. All staff have worked to support students and families with transitioning back to school or online learning and connect families with external support when required. Other staff have also trained in Mental Health First Aid. Also, the division continues to focus on the Five Pillars of Everyday Resilience by Dr. Robyn Hanley-Dafoe.

Health-care providers, clinicians and researchers have pointed out that the feelings of anxiety that emerged during the pandemic will resolve for some youths once routines return, Olson said, while other students could face new or worsening anxiety now or in the future.

The survey data shows 35.3 per cent of students in grades 4 to 6 have experienced moderate to high levels of anxiety, compared to 32.6 per cent last year and 23.7 per cent two years ago.

Meanwhile, 30.7 per cent of students in grades 7 to 12 have moderate to high levels of anxiety, compared to 29.7 per cent last year and 26.3 per cent two years ago.

Belonging The division asked students about the positive sense of belonging they felt in their schools and whether they felt accepted, respected, included, supported and valued by their peers.

For students in grades 4 to 6, 68 per cent felt a positive sense of belonging. Last year that number was 69.7 per cent and two years ago, it was 73.7 per cent.

Meanwhile, in grades 7 to 12, 61.3 per cent felt they belonged, compared to 61.2 per cent last year and 65.2 per cent two years ago.

Relationships The survey asked students whether they had positive relationships with their teachers, including fair and supportive interactions, quality instruction, and non-academic support, Olson said.

The data showed in grades 4 to 6, 81.7 per cent felt they had good relationships with their teachers. Last year and the year before that number was 83 per cent.

Meanwhile, for students in grades 7 to 12, 73.2 per cent had positive interactions with teachers, compared to 74.7 per cent last year and 75.8 per cent two years ago.

“I would have thought the numbers would be higher because of the work with connection and re-connection,” Olson remarked.

Connection/re-connection strategies Schools have used several strategies this year to connect and re-connect with students, she said.

For example: · Schools phoned every student/family in September to welcome them back · One school has dedicated every Friday to mental health activities in the gym, followed by healthy snacks · Schools held fall fairs and welcome back events · One school created mixed kindergarten to Grade 12 groups that met bi-weekly for fun activities · Many schools brought back extracurricular activities “There are so many wonderful things happening in our schools with these two outcomes,” Olson said.

Vaping — or 374 youths — have vaped at least once in the last month, a decrease of one per cent from last year’s survey.

Furthermore, 11 per cent have vaped nicotine and three per cent have vaped marijuana.

Challenges/suggestions Olson suggested that schools continue to use the survey to target student well-being, that the division continues with a strategic focus on wellness and that it removes the question about vaping and replaces it with a question about connection.

PSSD trustees believe they are meeting most goals and objectives, report suggests Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Prairie South School Division’s board of education has completed its annual self-evaluation and the report shows most members believe they are meeting their goals and objectives.

The results of the annual board of education self-evaluation report were presented during the June 7 meeting, where trustees unanimously voted to receive the document and authorize the board chair to monitor progress on recommendations during the 2022-23 year.

Ten trustees completed the survey in early May and then participated in a workshop later that month to analyze the results.

Accountability The board agreed or strongly agreed that it met all of the provincial government’s expectations for school boards. The board’s main observation was it appreciated Furthermore, trustees agreed or strongly agreed that they were accountable to the community. However, one member disagreed that the board has two-way communication with school community councils (SCCs) while another didn’t know if the board report the division’s learning results annually.

Some observations included the board does release challenges in engaging with SCCs during the pandemic.

One suggestion was to re-start annual SCC gatherings.

Strategic plan The board agreed or strongly agreed that it performed well wit its strategic plan. One observation was that the division’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) — the methods and processes used to manage risks and seize

opportunities — required attention, while it was important to tie ERM to strategic planning and reporting.

Meanwhile, trustees agreed or strongly agreed that they performed well in managing division policies.

However, one member disagreed that the organization reviewed the policies annually. One suggestion was that holding a policy review should happen “regularly or as needed.”

Director/board relations The board agreed or strongly agreed that its relationship with education director Ryan Boughen is effective, although one member didn’t know if that was true.

“The board works very well with the director, and vice-versa. Ryan’s teambuilding approach with the board is strong and the board has become better at providing clear direction even when there’s differing views expressed,” the report said.

Advocacy The board primarily agreed that it performed well with political advocacy, while one trustee strongly agreed and another member disagreed.

The board observed that this area needs further discussion, while from a strategic perspective, trustees said it is important that they have a regular opportunity to set their advocacy plan since emergent issues occur. Another thought was to continue advocacy work with the new joint-use school.

Development The board agreed or strongly agreed that it performed well with professional development. However, four trustees disagreed that the board develops a yearly plan for development, while two members didn’t know if the board’s

PRAIRIE SOUTH

SCHOOL DIVISION The next PSSD board meeting is TUESDAY, AUGUST 2. annual work plan included development.

Trustees observed that the board has struggled in this area, particularly during budget discussions. Due to this, some members have felt the need to underspend due to these issues. Members also discussed the differences between individual and group development.

Fiscal The board agreed or strongly agreed that it performed that was true. Overall, trustees acknowledged that the division has strong leadership in this area.

Group relationships The board mostly agreed or strongly agreed that it has good interpersonal working relationships, but a couple trustees disagreed and a couple didn’t know in some instances.

Meanwhile, members mostly agreed or strongly agreed that board chair Giselle Wilson carries out her role effectively, although one trustee didn’t fully know.

“The job the chair has done to be inclusive, to focus on the board, and to give guidance and direction is noted and appreciated,” the report added. “The director notes his appreciation for the availability of the chair and their good working relationship.”

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express Prairie South School Division has sold 87 unused rural parcels of land since its amalgamation in 2006, but a recent sale at a “low-ball” price has offended some board trustees.

During the June 7 board of education meeting, trustees countryside. The sales included: · $10 for one acre in the Rural Municipality of Craik · $250 for two acres in the RM of Poplar Valley · $200 for 2.06 acres in the RM of Hart Butte · $200 for 1.01 acres in the RM of Hart Butte · $200 for 3.97 acres in the RM of Wood River “We haven’t had time to do this (sell excess land) in quite a few years,” business superintendent Ron Purdy said. “We (still) have roughly 30 pieces of land in the country that are one to two acres in size.”

The offer of $10 for one acre caught the eye of trustee Lew Young, who thought that proposal was “not acceptable” considering the lowest bids were $200. He wondered if division administration needed the board to create a motion saying offers less than $200 would not be accepted. He didn’t want the board to sell any land for less than $150.

“It’s a little bit offensive when you see something like that … ,” he added. “I know it’s a bid, I know it’s an offer, but we don’t have to accept that offer.”

The highest offer the division has ever received is $500, while the lowest is $50, although the $10 offer is now the lowest, Purdy said. This parcel is in the corner of -

chase one acre in that location. The bidder told the division for years.

“If people can show they are paying taxes on our land, we just give it to them,” he remarked, adding he was pleased with all the offers.

These sales are not public tenders since the division contacts the landowners on whose property these small parcels are located and asks if they want to buy the parcel, Purdy continued. This is an easier process since the parcels are usually in the corner of a quarter-section. Moreover, many landowners are likely using those pieces without knowing it.

Division staff took pictures years ago of the parcels and anything on them, including old school buildings or other structures, he added. Some pieces are less than an acre in size, while the recent one that is four acres is bigger than normal.

Selling the one parcel for $10 will set a precedent, which means the board should develop a standard price per acre so it can “avoid these low-ball $10 parcels” in the future, said board vice-chair Darcy Pryor. With 25 parcels left to sell, it would clean up the process.

“We need to be careful because this is land we do not want to have, so we don’t want to have a price tag so high that people say, ‘Forget it.’ I don’t want that … ,” said board chair Giselle Wilson.

“I’m a little torn on this because we could turn down

the offer for $10, but then we’d still own it and it would still be our responsibility,” she added. “And if something happens, we are liable. For $10, we could do away with it.”

Moose Jaw Board of Police Commissioners Notes

Robberies and threats have increased since last year, police data shows

The next Board of Police Commissioners meeting is Thursday, July 14.

The number of crimes committed against people this year has jumped over 11 per cent year-over-year, with robberies and threats seeing triple-digit percentage increases.

There were 335 offences committed against the person between January and May, an increase from 301 incidents — or 11.3 per cent — during the same period last year, recent statistics show.

Year-to-date (YTD), there have been six reported robberies compared to one incident — an increase of 500 per cent — during the same time last year.

The Moose Jaw Police Service has noticed a consistent increase in these reports during the past year and will track that data to determine its regularity but won’t compare it to the previous two years because they “were a little bit unusual,” Police Chief Rick Bourassa said during the June 8 Board of Police Commissioners meeting.

While the numerical increase in robasking Supt. Taylor Mickleborough to comment.

robberies that it has investigated this year, robberies quickly after arriving on the scene at those events, while two robberies were given to the criminal investigation section since they needed further research.

Those two robberies were eventually solved.

“The robberies don’t appear to be related (or it) doesn’t appear to be the same group of people or same person that’s robbing multiple individuals. They all appear to be unrelated,” he added. “(Instead,) the majority of them appear to … be stemming from the drug trade — or drugs are a factor in the robbery.”

The May statistics show 39 threats were committed against people YTD versus 19 incidents — an increase of 105.3 per cent — during the same period last year.

“A lot of that is online … . Again, we’re seeing what seems to be a trend — not just here, but a trend all over — about less and less civility in our culture,” said Bourassa. “And that seems to be shining through in these (people crimes) categories.”

Crimes against people

Data from January to May for 2022 versus 2021 show: Homicide: 1 / 0 Attempted murder: 0 / 2 Assaults (sexual, common, with a weapon/ cause bodily harm, aggravated, against police): 125 / 100 Domestic dispute: 39 / 80 Crimes against property Data from January to May for 2022 versus 2021 show: Break-ins (business, residence, other): 95 / 119 Motor vehicle theft: 26 / 24 Theft over $5,000: 8 / 7 Theft under $5,000: 281 / 229 Arson: 5 / 6 Mischief over $5,000: 125 / 124 Totals: 635 / 628, or 1.1 per cent increase Other crimes and offences Data from January to May for 2022 versus 2021 show: Impaired driving: 56 / 52 Failing to comply with a court order: 362 / 302 Pandemic responses: 6 / 53 Vehicle collisions over $1,000: 116 / 82 Provincial liquor infractions: 53 / 68 Drugs

Data from January to May for 2022 versus 2021 show: Cocaine: 3 / 4 Marijuana: 4 / 7 Crystal meth: 3 / 7 Other CDSA drugs: 3 / 9 Total: 13 / 27 Total calls for service YTD are 7,173 compared to 5,994 YTD last year, an increase of 19.7 per cent.

The decline in other CDSA drug offences does not mean there are fewer of charges since this area is enforcement-driven, said Bourassa. Sometimes the number project and have data to report.

Meanwhile, discussions have occurred among police chiefs about the decriminalization of small amounts of hard drugs, he continued. The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police only supports decriminalization if social networks — such as health care — are in place to help people avoid those situations.

“It’s a complex issue. I think generally there is support for moving it out of punitive and more into a restorative area,” Bourassa added.

Whether it’s speaking at schools or to new immigrants, police Const. Regan Pawliw is excited to interact more fully with the public after two years of pandemic measures.

Pawliw — or “Const. Reggie” to

Pawliw started as the school resource every high school and elementary school in the community, he explained. With COVID-19 restrictions lifted, he regularly walks the halls, chats with students, builds connections and participates in activities, which have all been good experiences.

Teachers and counsellors also appreciate seeing him and call or text often about issues. rodeos at elementary schools. With summer coming, police have been teaching kids about bike and helmet safety while putting them through obstacle courses to test them.

Pawliw also works with the police service’s bike and foot patrols in Crescent Park. This allows residents to chat with him about what’s happening and ask questions. He even sees high school students in the park on break, happily waving to him.

“So it’s good to build that connection and report with them … because sometimes we have some Fight Club in Crescent Park with the students,” he continued.

“So, I’m always there trying to make sure that doesn’t happen anymore and avoid that kind of stuff.”

His PowerPoint presentations build connections with teachers and parents so neither is scared to approach the police about negative situations. He pointed out doing on their phones since the devices are small and allow for private activities.

“That’s the hardest part right now because it’s constant with the social media stuff (and kids need to know the consequences of their actions) … ,” Pawliw added. “It’s a tricky battle.”

Pawliw also works with the Moose Jaw Multicultural Council. He speaks to new immigrants when they arrive to ease their anxiety about law enforcement, especially if they have had bad experiences with police in their home countries.

Most newcomers won’t look at him when he starts to speak because they are intimidated. However, they open up as he assuages their fears about police in Moose bumps him afterward.

The goal is to slowly and steadily thaw immigrants’ fears of police, said Pawliw, adding he has also spoken with immigrant children and addressed their concerns.

Commissioner Mary Lee Booth expressed her appreciation for the school resource initiative and its efforts to build trust and prevent incidents, especially after school shootings recently in the United States. She noted that, in retrospect, perpetrators always leave clues that they plan to do something.

“That’s the main thing with me, is I don’t want to come across as intimidating or scary to students,” replied Pawliw. “I … want to make them feel comfortable so they can talk to me about stuff.”

Reflective Moments

By Joyce Walter - Moose Jaw Express

The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author, and do sition of this publication.

Fraud department has helpful

Merchants operating locally and on-line are surely breathing a sigh of relief after credit card heaven has been restored to one household in this community.

The saga of our credit card, which included the unexpected disabling of a still very workable card, has mostly been sorted out but not before involving a credit card fraud and security analyst and some nasty words directed to a robot who suggested the wait time for a real person would take up to three hours.

I’m sure those robotic ears are still ringing from the human voice telling him her opinion of his company, accompanied by a pleasant suggestion for improved customer service. Profanity was not involved.

One week after being told our new cards were in the mail, they had still not arrived and we had still not made it through to talk to a real person. The second week box around the corner produced nothing resembling cards for purchasing items. A friendly bank teller suggested a call to another 1-800 number might produce faster results. The wait on that line was only two

hours on both occasions the number was used.

On the third week anniversary of the cards supposedly being mailed, I used the 1-800 number for the credit card’s fraud division. In no time at all — less than 10 minutes — my call was directed to a human person who commiserated with me over our household’s dilemma and asked how she could be of help.

After my explanation, she asked some skill-testing questions to verify that I was indeed who I claimed to be, she looked up the account and agreed the cards had been sent, and they should have arrived by now. More in-depth detective work on her part revealed those awaited cards had already been cancelled, even though the latest payment had gone to a number on the missing cards.

My dander got up when she apologized because she couldn’t completely help me because I wasn’t the primary card holder, even though I pay the bills and do all the work, including being nasty to a robot.

She readily agreed to talk to House-

mate, the primary card holder, so we could solve our credit card dilemma. I fumed as he chatted with her and even laughed at something said on the other end of the line.

They came to an agreement that the newest version of our upgraded cards would be sent to our bank “to avoid interception” by unknown sources.

I took back the receiver and conbank, at the correct address, and that they should be there in two business days. She apologized for all our inconveniences and wished us a good day.

The very next day we got a call from a bank employee with the news that our cards had arrived. We scurried to the branch, promptly received our package, ripped open the envelope and there they were: credit cards, one for each of us, with new numbers and instructions for activation. A successful transaction at the grocery store was the start of a beautiful weekend.

Discoveries made through the process: other patrons of this credit card com-

pany had similar experiences of disabled credit cards. From what I heard, some were much more vocal and profanity was involved.

Another discovery: I owe an apology to Canada Post. Those employees could not deliver an envelope that I suspect had not been mailed. Sincere apologies.

The fraud lady said the cards would have been in a plain white envelope. She laughed when I said the only plain white envelope we had received lately was from the health authority asking for samples of a private nature. She laughed and immediately understood. card company to verify the account balance on our new cards was met with the information that I required a special coded number to receive that detail. But then I’m not the primary card holder so ignorance is bliss right now. Happy shopping for this non-primary person!

This year’s edition, focusing on perseverance, was held the Prince of Wales Centre in Assiniboia, SK. Industry stakeholders and producers were invited to attend and share their perspectives on the livestock sector in the province. The event brought together attendees from across the province with several informative keynote sessions and tradeshow booths.

The Canadian Cattlemen’s Association’s President, Reg Schellenberg, was one of those speakers, addressing the state of Canadian beef production post-drought.

Among the other program highlights were Kathy Larson’s presentation on the cost of

Besides animals, Montgomery also enjoys volunteering with humans, ensuring they have other people on whom where they are while promoting ideals like safe driving and suicide prevention.

Paranoia, anxiety, suspicion: Artist channels our collective emotions

By Gordon Edgar Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Sylvia Ziemann’s exhibition Keeping House at the End of the World is at the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery (MJM&AG) until August 28, giving Moose Javians time to check out an intricate, disturbing, and somehow highly relatable experience.

“COVID hit and all of a sudden I had all these ideas for little interiors that respond to what it must be like for everybody,” Ziemann said. “Everybody’s different.

What’s it like to be told ‘you have to stay in your room now, and you can’t go out, and you can’t have any more fun’?”

Ziemann is a visual artist originally from Edmonton.

She earned a diploma in painting at the Alberta College of Art and Design, a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Regina, where she is now an instructor in addition to being an established artist.

Ziemann has been exploring the “culture of fear” that modern people live in for many years, she said.

“There’s always something new, there’s always a war, or a disease, or an economic collapse,” Ziemann said. “Why do we live in this constant state of fear, and to be afraid.”

Her work asks questions about how we control our fear, or if that’s even possible. Do we have the agency to decide how we are, or are we simply reacting to — and being irresistibly formed by — a news cycle that magni-

“A Glimpse of Your Afterlife” by Sylvia Ziemann (photo by Gordon Edgar)

Visual artist Sylvia Ziemann with the title work of her exhibition: Keeping House at the End of the World (courtesy Sylvia Ziemann) “I think my work takes the things that can be fearful, like personal illnesses, the body falling apart, the world falling apart, mental illness, and then take that and look at it and say, ‘how do we move from there? What can we do with that? This is the way the world is, right?’ And how can we make it a better place for ourselves and others?”

Ziemann has captured the feelings of people across the political spectrum. One diorama shows fungi sproutalcohol and cough medicine spilling from a drawer, and a miserable rabbit huddled in bed.

Becoming depressed and isolated was a common reaction to the stress of the pandemic. Some few were able to enjoy it. Others refused to accept restrictions, marching for what they saw as fundamental freedom. On the fringe, those who fear violence stocked up on guns, ammunition, and body armour, eyeing their neighbours and waiting for the government to attack.

Ziemann unites these apparently antagonistic views by plucking at the common thread: fear.

On that hopeless rabbit’s bedroom wall, the clock shows mere minutes to midnight. The world’s Doomsday Clock is, in fact, 100 seconds to midnight — the future is not a guarantee.

Visitors can even lean down to peer inside a box diorama title “A Glimpse of Your Afterlife.” Many worland the need for answers.

Poetry scrawls across the surface of surreal ink drawings combining thoughts, vital organs, weapons, and industry. A smokestack heart pumps a loop, one chamber called Panic Now, another named Things Will Change.

A drawing title “The World is on Fire” asks Now what will you do? In the margins are lines like We are all weak creatures and Art is the only thing that can make the pain stop while leading you to a purpose.

Ziemann has accomplished a space that combines paranoia with hope, suspicion with trust, and shows viewers that we are all human, we are all neighbours, and we have more in common than we often believe.

She also believes art is a collaboration. The reactions of viewers are legitimate — it isn’t her place to argue for seeing things a certain way.

“In a way, art is like children,” Ziemann said. “You know, you put them out into the world, then they become their own story. And I hope the best for them, and they go out there and they do their thing. But then, people read into them.”

Meet Sylvia Ziemann and Todd Gronsdahl at the opening reception for their joint exhibition on June 18 at 1 p.m. Space is limited, so register in advance on the MJM&AG website.

The museum will host a virtual In Conversation with Ziemann on June 22. The Zoom link can also be found on the website.

Learn more about Todd Gronsdahl’s Saskatchewan Maritime Museum on MooseJawToday.com.

Ziemann will teach a puppet-making workshop on August 13 and 14. Register for that workshop at mjmag. ca/art-class/puppetmaking.

OPINION/COMMENTARY The Liberals are masters of misinformation and disinformation The Trudeau government has taken #fakenews, #alternativefacts, #misinformation, and #disinformation to a whole new, breathtaking level

By Peter Menzies

The Trudeau government has taken #fakenews, #alternativefacts, #misinformation, and #disinformation to a whole new, breathtaking level.

This week, the Liberals introduced legislation that will freeze the buying, importing, and selling of handguns and pretended gun owners won’t be affected. You may agree or disagree with that approach, but what is clear is that if you own a handgun in Canada, you will now never be able to sell it or give it away to someone else. If you had a handgun collection that you thought you or your heirs might wish to sell at some point, that collection is now worthless. And you can never buy a new one.

Regardless, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wasted no time in cautioning a reporter – chiding him really – to be “careful about spreading misinformation and disinformation about this.” owners. Those who currently own and operate handguns safely are not at all targeted by this legislation,” Trudeau said – with a straight face – before going on to explain the selling, buying, or transferring ownership of handguns.

The most generous interpretation of that statement can only be that the prime minister didn’t intend for this bill to have any impact on law-abiding gun owners. If that’s the case, he either hasn’t read his own legislation (possible) and should amend it (unlikely), or his aim isn’t very good and the law-abiding gun owners are victims of a drive-by legislative shooting.

As noted above, you may think tighter gun control is bad thing is this naked gaslighting of anyone (particularly someone who might actually have read the bill) who rais-

es fact-based concerns about the impact of government legislation. It is, essentially, an attack on those seeking the truth.

This is particularly rich from a government developing legislation – working title: Online Harms – that would regulate what you can say on the internet in an effort to crack down on “misinformation and disinformation.” One assumes the new Online Harms act will not apply to the government’s own practice of characterizing the views of its critics as “disinformation” while insisting only its, at times, fantasy-laden interpretations of reality represent the correct information.

Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino provided another example last week when he declared that new legislation regarding searches of people’s mobile devices, texts, photos, and emails would “institute clear and stringent standards that must be met before a traveller’s device can be searched.”

It turns out there’s nothing clear and stringent at all about giving border agents the power to search people’s phones on the basis of something as bizarrely vague as “reasonable and general concern.” The phrase itself appears to be something the architects of the legislation more or less just made up.

“The very low (and legally novel) threshold of ‘reasearch of a traveller’s personal electronic device does not adequately protect travellers’ privacy,” wrote the Canadian Civil Liberties Association.

Or, as the Globe and Mail editorial board put it, “We think the proposed legal standard sounds a lot like asktingling.”

Not to be outdone, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne announced a “historic step” toward a more consumer-focused policy on telecommunications, while the cabinet he is a part of upheld a regulatory decision that handcuffs efforts by small operators to offer consumers lower-cost internet service.

But the creme de la creme on the week went to Heritage Minister Pablo Rodriguez, who continues to insist that his Bill C-11, which gives the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) sweeping powers to regulate speech and other content on the internet, doesn’t do things it actually does. from CRTC Chair Ian Scott that the legislation does indeed grant the regulator the power to deal with social media posts, Rodriguez stood up in the House of Commons and once again declared it does not.

Either Rodriguez never read his own legislation – the power to regulate social media posts is right there in black and white – or he is intentionally saying things that aren’t true.

If disinformation and misinformation are undermining Canadians’ faith in their institutions, the cause appears to be the people who insist they are seeking a solution to a problem – misinformation – they themselves compound daily. is always the truth. The next one is you.

championships Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express One just has to look at the medal count — gold, silver and two bronze — from the provincial championships this spring to see exactly how things are quickly reaching impressive heights in the local basketball scene. .

That success translated well into the club season for the Moose Jaw Jam during the May 27 weekend, as the Moose Jaw Minor Basketball Association squad provincial championship.

“We lost to the team that ended up winning, so it was a great weekend for us and a great experience,” said Jam coach Christa Lapointe. “The girls got lots of playing time and opportunities to develop their skills in the off-season, work with new players and have fun together. So it was a successful season and just a great way to end things for the girls.”

The main focus for any club sport is seeing their players improve, and that’s something the Jam took to heart, with a special development clinic as one of their main events of the season.

Players had a chance to work with standout Libby Epoch, one of the winningest coaches in Moose Jaw history in Mark Albert and former Vanier Spirits standout Kehlsie Crone to develop their game.

“The clinic was all about read and

“We had a lot of knowledge out there and with Libby, it was so great for the girls to see what a next-level player is like.”

All in all, a solid showing for the local squad, and one Lapointe hopes will be a sign of things to come.

“We have a lot of young athletes in our city who want to participate and want to get better,” Lapointe said. “This all gives them a chance to compete and instill that desire to challenge themselves as a player and do what they can to improve themselves, and that’s great to see.”

long process that included training camps and plenty of games in front of many a watchful eye as the time to make personnel decisions moved closer.

The Ice had just wrapped up a tournament during the June 4 weekend when word came down that the local duo had cracked the roster.

“It was really exciting to know that we’re part of this team, the shortlist has been out since last summer and it’s been a long process, but it’s been really good,” “I’ve never been to one of these so I don’t know exactly what it’s like, but I’ve heard about the Summer Games and stuff so it’ll be nice to get some experience and see what it’s all about.”

Given the level of competition she was up against as a pitcher, Newberry wasn’t sure if she was going to have a shot been going pretty well in lead-up to the announcement.

when I did it was extra special,” Newberry said. “I was competing against the best pitcher in the province and when I got to make the team with her it was really cool.”

Older fans of the sport in Moose Jaw women’s fastball tournament at the Carible pitching performances by the likes Putting something like that together will naturally be the goal for Newberry in Niagara.

“It’s going to be fun to be at that level… not only do you have to throw the ball, you have to really have to think where you’re going to throw the ball and then make that pitch,” she said. “That’s half the game in itself and just taking the mental aspect into it is important.”

Both players have turned fastball into a full-year gig, with both Newberry and Simmons having suited up with the Regi-

Simmons felt that experience — and the ability to train year-round with an indoor facility — was crucial to their selection.

“It’s pretty much an all-around allyear thing at this point,” she said. “Training all year is pretty much mandatory at this level, otherwise you lose a lot of your skill if you’re not playing. You can only play three months in summer, so it’s nice to have an indoor facility to work out of and stuff and then a team we can play down south with.”

Newberry was of much the same mindset, with an added bonus.

“It was pretty fun, even just breaking up the winter with the hot weather,” she said with a laugh. “But we were able to play against some really good teams from all over the place and see some great competition. We had some good games and it was a lot of fun.”

Of course, fastball is only one sport at the Canada Summer Games, and the weeklong extravaganza will be something to behold, as is the case any time thousands of athletes from all over the country gather for the event.

“It’s so exciting with how they set it up and everything, it’s almost like a mini-Olympics,” Simmons said. “It’s so cool, I think the experience is going to be amazing.”

“And the fact I get to go with my best friend is pretty cool, too,” Newberry said with a grin.

The women’s fastball portion of the Canada Summer Games runs from Sunkatchewan plays in Pool A and will face B.C. on Aug. 7, Prince Edward Island and Manitoba on Aug. 8 before closing the round robin out against B.C. on Aug. 9.

Tournament victory in Prince Albert the latest success for Moose Jaw U13 A Ice Defending South provincial champions go undefeated on way to victory at Shaye Amundson Memorial Tournament Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express The Moose Jaw U13 A Ice knew heading into the minor girls fastball season that there was plenty of potential for a successful campaign.

The reason was simple — after winning the South provincial championship as a U12 A team last season, the Ice saw almost the entirety of their line-up return when Softball Sask raised the age groups by a year across the board.

That meant the same crew that was all but untouchable in the 2021 campaign would have a chance to repeat their success this summer.

So far, so good.

The key to it all has been much the same as it was last season, and it all starts in the pitching circle. Aces Tayrn Friesen

ahead 9-2 and they never looked back.

Friesen was 2-for-3 with three runs and a pair of runs batted in, while Avery Funke scored three runs, Kendall Menzies put up two runs and three RBI, Chloe Strueby was 2-for-3 with a run and an RBI and Georgia Fowler 3-for-3 with two RBI. “We worked a lot on hitting this winter, and our girls are hitting off of those top pitchers, even their number ones,” Okerstrom said. “I’ve had more than one other coach say to me ‘boy, can your girls hit’, so that’s been where we’ve really turned it up, for sure.”

The Ice are back in action in a week and a half when they take part in the Minot Storm Invitational during the June 19 weekend.

Along the way, Moose Jaw downed the Melfort Spirits 6-1, Prince Albert Aces 13-0 and Twin City Angels 11-3 before tying the 2021 North provincial champiround-robin game.

The Ice have for the most part faced U15 B opposition this season, and for good reason. The team is planning to take nadian regional championship during the July 29 weekend in Victoria, with that event using the same size ball, pitching distance and bases distance as the U15 level in Saskatchewan.

That’s also led to decent competition

against older players, something that has worked well for the Ice. “We wanted to try and take this crew to the next level, so we’ve chosen games and scenarios where we can stretch them, like playing mostly U15 teams,” Okerstrom said. “We’ve sought out those teams and had some good games against them, so it’s been really good. And other than a bit of a slow start on Sunday morning, we were pretty good with how we played in P.A. this weekend, too.”

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express Athletes and coaches from the Moose Jaw area and all over Saskatchewan had an opportunity to take part in a special high-performance training and nutrition seminar this past weekend in Caronport.

The CanWest Sports Science and Performance Centre hosted a pair of events on Friday and Saturday, featuring Adrian Vilaca from Gary Roberts High Performance Training and Melissa Ieraci from Designs for Sport.

And to say the least, it wasn’t your run-of-the-mill nutrition and supplements talk.

Vilaca and wife Sylvia Tetrault are two of the main trainers with GRHPT, with Vilaca working with an extra-special client for the last dozen years — none other than Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid.

trainer Joerik Michiels made a stop at the local facility as part of a cross-Canada tour put together by Golden Ticket owner Tanner Brightman.

Around 30 players from Grade 7 through 12 took part in the event, which saw Michiels run participants through a range of drills designed to focus on player development.

It all came out of Brightman working with Michiels on a smaller tour through Saskatchewan back in 2019, which saw 17 camps in seven locations over nine days in the province.

This time around?

No less than 50 camps in 17 communities, covering 19 days and involving over 700 players. It all kicked off on June 1 in Fredericton and has been rolling west since, having stopped off in Winnipeg on June 8 before heading to Moose Jaw. “It’s been amazing, not just with the kids and the camp itself, but to meet everyone and different cultures and what basketto the Moose Jaw event. “It’s a very different culture compared to Europe, so it’s been a great experience both on and off the court. And having a chance to see Canada, Michiels brings an impressive depth of knowledge in the game, having worked with more than 150 professional players and served as an NBA Europe skills trainer in the past. He’s also an NBA Basketball Without Borders clinician, part of a program that brings the sport to developing countries.

Brightman had worked with Michiels in Belgium earlier this year, which led to things coming together for the Canada trip, with Moose Jaw an obvious stop.

“We wanted to get to Moose Jaw for sure, not only because we have the space but to see the community and how good Brightman said. “It’s been a really good trip, we’ve met a lot of people and been The training session focused on what Michiels terms the Super Six — Finishing, Shooting, Passing, Footwork, Deci-

Catholic Women’s League group celebrates centennial with fashion show Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The Catholic Women’s League (CWL) at St. Joseph Roman Catholic Parish celebrated its 100th anniversary recently by hosting a fashion show highlighting wedding dresses stretching back nearly 90 years.

The group — which began in 1922 — welcomed dozens of people into the church hall on June 11 for two shows, which included tea, sandwiches and goodies.

Eight models — including seven from Vanier Collegiate — walked slowly around the hall as the MC spoke about the dresses’ histories.

Along with a fashion show, there was a display featuring nearly 100 pieces of clothing — wedding gowns, dresses, baptismal gowns, shoes — that highlighted fashion styles stretching back to 1896.

The Moose Jaw Express attended the fashion show’s dress rehearsal the day before to take pictures of the modThe Great Depression played was from the wedding of Eve (Bolen) Kaip on July 8, 1935, at Holy Angels Church in Pangman. Kaip is the mother of Rose Schenher.

Growing up on the farm during the Great Depression, Kaip’s wedding dress was a special garment made of heavy ivory length skirt, a half belt at the back fastened with a matching, fabric-covered buckle, puffed elto a small cuff with fabric-covered buttons.

Typical of the Depression era, Kaip didn’t own many fancy dresses, so she wore her wedding dress to many dances and events. She also wore elbow-length gloves during the wedding to hide her calluses from her farm work.

Stitched fabric The second dress was from the wedding of Audrey (Langille) Mokry, who married on July 17, 1948, at St. Joseph Church in London, Ont. length dress is noticeable for its pleated centre bodice with a row of closely stitched, fabric-covered buttons. The long sleeves are gathered at the shoulder and taper to a point at the back of the hand.

While the veil did not survive the decades, it was trimmed with lace and longer than the dress’ hem, giving it a train effect.

The bride, groom, and entire bridal party had a long day since the ceremony was held in the morning, followed by lunch. This was typical of Catholic weddings back then because they were expected to fast from midnight onward before taking communion.

Photos were taken in the afternoon in Swift Current, with the bridal party returning to Ponteix for supper and a dance. A gift opening was held the next afternoon at the family farm.

A short net veil attached to a beaded tiara accompanied the dress, while white cuffed heels and red silk rose bouquet completed the ensemble.

After the wedding ceremony, the new couple visited the groom’s mother’s gravesite and left the bouquet there to honour the mother, who died the previous year after falling over the edge of Macdonald Vanier Collegiate student SydFalls in Montana.

The dress was a two-piece ensemble with a fulllength dress and train and a cape and hood. The material is white rayon velvet with etched designs that give the material a shimmering look.

The cape and sleeves display matching white fabric buttons and loops, while the gown, cape and hood are trimmed with white fur to give it a wintery look.

Landry’s niece modelled the dress on their 25th wedding anniversary, while Landry wore the cape at their 40th celebration.

Last summer, when Landry taught her grandchildren the sacraments at Vacation Bible School, her granddaughter wore it.

cousins at the wedding, and when her brothers were married, the guest list had to be curtailed.

She avoided that problem by planning her wedding in August, the middle of harvest, knowing that not everyone invited could attend. While the groom was overwhelmed by the family’s size, the bride was pleased they could attend and managed to have everyone in the group photo.

Degreasing a messy situation The eighth dress is from the wedding of Joleen (Kayter) Lichtenwald, who married on July 1, 2006 at St. Joseph’s in Moose Jaw. Lichtenwald’s sister, Michelle Dodd, showcased the dress during the fashion show. waist and has a fully-beaded train, while the bodice is fully beaded and has a straight neckline. The bride wore a hoop under the dress to hold out the skirt but it is no longer available.

Fifteen minutes before the ceremony, as the bride and her parents were preparing to head to the church, the photographer took a photo of the bride peeking out the door. However, her dress brushed against a greasy hinge, leaving a black streak on the dress’ front. As Joleen tried not to cry, her mother came to the rescue with various products.
