Moose Jaw woman becomes By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com Trish Martynook has served on the board of the Regina Airport Authority (RAA) since 2014 and recently became “I attended the Regina Airport Authority AGM where past chair Trent Fraser passed this responsibility on to Trish, who has ably represented Moose Jaw and served as a Board member for eight years,” said Moose Jaw Mayor Clive Tolley. “The City of Moose Jaw is extremely proud that our own Trish Martynook has been appointed chair of the Regina Airport Authority.” Martynook has served on the RAA since 2014. She was re-appointed by the City of Moose Jaw in March eligible to serve a maximum of nine years — Martynook will step down in spring, 2023. “I feel encouraged, I think that it’s evidence that there is room for women at the board table,” Martynook told MooseJawToday.com. “I think research informs us that organizations and groups with diverse boards and leadership perform better than those that don’t have diversity. And they leave talent on the table as a result.” “Congratulations to Trish,” said James Bogusz, President and CEO, Regina Airport Authority in the June 15 news release. “We look forward to working together on the great success of YQR, the 15th busiest airport in
Canada, and know that (her) expertise and experience will continue to be of to all of Southern Saskatchewan.” The RAA is a operates the airport under lease from the federal government. The board’s only employee is Bogusz, who is responsible for the day-to-day management. “The board Trish Martynook oversees the oper(courtesy RAA) ations of the airport,” Martynook said. “Our job as a board is to hire a CEO, and then proRegina International Airport (YQR) is the 15th busiest airport in Canada. However, its losses due to
the COVID-19 pandemic have been devastating. Martynook’s appointment comes at a crucial time, as YQR seeks to recover its economic prominence. “Pre-COVID, the airport generated about $800 million a year in local economic activity,” Martynook explained. “We took an extreme hit. We were down over 90 with all of the associated revenue.” The airport recently welcomed Swoop, a Canadian ultra-low-cost airline owned by WestJet. Swoop began operations in 2018. ing,” Martynook continued, speaking about rebuilding the airport’s passenger count. Another immediate goal which the airport lost several years ago. “It’s helping that the government has lifted these travelling restrictions. We spent a lot of time and money doing a lot of advertising and media work, trying to keep the public informed in terms of ever-changing rules when it came to COVID protocols.” Although her responsibility is to the entire area Martynook said that the success of the airport overlaps with the success of Moose Jaw. She’s looking forward to being part of its post-pandemic growth.
By Gordon Edgar Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com The Catholic Women’s League (CWLSJ) of St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church in Moose Jaw celebrated their 100th anniversary on June 18 — members of the organization said they are proud to commemorate such a long history. “I’m very proud to be able to celebrate 100 years,” said Stella Richards, vice president of the CWLSJ. “We have currently about 100 members. We have at least seven members who are over 90. In fact, we gave a pin for 70 years to one of our members just recently. So, you can tell it’s an organization that we’re proud to belong to, and to be a part of St. Joseph’s.” The anniversary celebrations began on June 11 with a vintage fashion show and tea. An historical display was set up in the church’s south entrance. The display contained a variety of memorabilia, including scrapbooks reaching back decades. “The St. Joseph’s Catholic Women’s League started in 1922, which was two years after our church was built,” said Suzanne Ellis, past president of the CWLSJ, who was heavily involved in planning celebrations. “We have many scrapbooks like these, with clippings, and photograph books of different years. … We would need such a large area to display it all.” A special Anniversary Mass church service was held on Saturday, June 18 at 5 p.m. -
Council. Prior to 1920, most Catholic parishes had a women’s group that assisted the community and the church. They were typically called the Altar Society. In 1920, the national Catholic Women’s League of Canada was created. On June 18, 1920, the Altar Society of St. Joseph’s Parish was disbanded, and a subdivision of the CWL of Canada was established in its place. The CWL has always made a priority of helping its members both spiritually and temporally. “The group of ladies that we currently have are all very committed to helping with our programs,” Richards said. “Some of our programs are our prayer chain, prayer blankets. We give donations to our charities, and we try to do funeral lunches.” All the Catholic Women’s League members, the Catholic Girl’s League members, and Mass celebrants present at the Mass on Saturday at 5:00 pm. St. Joseph’s parishioners were also in attendance (courtesy Rosalie Boots) cant ways such as master of ceremonies, greeting and ushering, scripture readings and prayers of the faithful, and singing in the choir. Representatives attended from the provincial and diocesan CWL councils, as well as from the St. Joseph’s Parish Council and the Father Lawless Knights of Columbus

Girl’s League, open to girls aged 9 to 15. Members will support each other, build friendships, and work on projects in the community. Ellis said that being a member of the CWL does come with some extra responsibility. Not every woman who attends St. Joseph is a member, but members can commit as much or as little time to the organization as they need. “As we pray as a group of CWL ladies, we’re praying with all the CWL members throughout Canada,” Ellis said, “which gives you more powerful prayer.”

Catholic school division celebrates National Indigenous Peoples’ Day By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com
Holy Trinity Catholic School Division (HTCSD) held two assemblies June 21 with performances, storytelling, knowledge-sharing, and prayers by representatives from local Indigenous communities. “National Indigenous Peoples’ Day is an opportunity for us to learn, so we can listen more.” said Vivian Gauvin, the event’s organizer. Gauvin is vice-principal of St. Agnes School and a sessional instructor at the University of Regina. “When we know better, we do better … (And) we have a moral obligation to do better.” Each assembly featured: Lyndon Linklater, a traditional knowledge keeper and storyteller and a citizen of the Plains Cree Thunderchild First Nation Brad Bellegarde, a musician from Regina and a Nakota/Cree member of the Little Black Bear First Nation. Harold St. Pierre, a Métis from Yorkton who has been jigging — a Métis tradition — for over 50 years Calvin Kaye and the Cree Spirit Drum Group, a family music group established in 1989 The T-Bear Band, consisting of Terri-Bear Linklater, Malik Linklater, and Darrel Hawman, president of the New Southern Plains Métis Local 160 and an expert in Métis history Brittnee Prettyshield, a grade 12 student from Peacock Collegiate and an Indigenous singer “I feel great that there is an entire month just for people to learn our Indigenous history,” said Lee Prosper, a member of the Cree Spirit Drum Group. “Combut at the same time, acknowledging it the way it’s being acknowledged today is something beautiful. … Being able to perform and practice our culture in front of hundreds of students is amazing and I can’t wait to get back home and tell my son about it.” Both of Prosper’s parents were residential school survivors. He said that they lost their language and were traumatized by the experience to the point they couldn’t raise their children. Prosper was adopted into a family that taught him his
Knowledge keeper Lyndon Linklater sings a song about kindness for Holy Trinity Catholic School Division students on National Indigenous Peoples’ Day (from Twitter) culture. “I was fortunate to be given traditional knowledge — not many people are fortunate enough to have that,” he said. Hawman has been heavily involved recently in signing memorandums of understanding with various educational institutions, including HTCSD. He is always happy to talk about Métis history. “The Métis were called ‘The People That Own Themselves,’” said Hawman. “The Métis are of mixed blood. That’s it. It was many kinds of European fathers and many kinds of First Nations mothers, generally speaking. So it’s a big, diverse group. … We’re proud to be an Indigenous people, and we’re the transition people between First Nations and European nations. We’re that group in the middle.” The assemblies took place at Vanier Collegiate and were attended by hundreds of student from local Catholic schools. The students learned about Indigenous history and culture, and about the colonial history of Canada and the genocidal efforts to erase Indigenous peoples. “What our school division is really focusing on right now is understanding

the truth and having our students understand the truth,” said Strueby. “The Catholic Church and Canada as a whole have seen some dark days. … Working with people like Brad (Bellegrade) and people like Lyndon (Linklater), they help our students understand where we’ve been at as
a country.” Linklater has been the Indigenous knowledge keeper for HTCSD for a year now. He shares stories and consults to help staff understand Indigenous issues. “In terms of educating the public, we’re always more than happy and honoured to do that,” he said. “I know that the school division here has made a commitment, and they’re really moving forward in terms of Truth and Reconciliation. … That is all part of celebrating National Indigenous Peoples’ Day.” Bellegarde said that he always enjoys coming to Moose Jaw. He has been involved in quite a few National Indigenous Peoples’ Day celebrations and sees involving the youth as vital to making progress. He believes that sharing music and culture can help to build bridges. “We’re in a generation where we can’t make reconciliation happen,” Bellegarde said. “But the kids can, you know? And their kids can. So we have to look to the future, we can’t just think about us. We’re just old guys pretending to be young. “But I think that if a city like Moose Jaw can grab hold of that idea of reconciliation through events like this … and if teachers are enthusiastic about learning and teaching reconciliation, then the kids will see that.”

Plan A Home & Commercial Painting has been operational in Moose Jaw for the last three years but is now under new management. Previous owner John Mohan suffered some health complications and could no longer work so he put his company up for sale and retired. Stephen Dombowsky, John Mohan’s son-in-law and owner of the Axe & Timber Company took over the proprietorship. Prior to purchasing the business and in a renovation project, Dombowsky felt compelled to hire some individuals who had lost their jobs and livelihoods due to the vaccine mandate and put them to work. When the job was done, he wanted to continue to provide employment for them so he decided to purchase his father-in-law’s painting business. Plan A Home & Commercial Painting uses the highest quality products to paint for residential and commercial, both for the interior and the exterior. Currently, the company has two painters but hope to add more soon.
They also do stucco repairs, in addition to painting. Dombowsky takes pride in the clean-up, whether that is for Axe & Timber or for Plan A. The clean-up process

Prairie South to use over $700K in restricted funding for new initiatives Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express
Prairie South School Division has lifted restrictions on more than $700,000 in funding originally geared toward prekindergarten and innovation projects and will use that money for other initiatives. Division administration realized during recent budget discussions that the organization had “operationalized” funding of the prekindergarten programs that the Minisit was no longer necessary to restrict money for that purpose since the operating budget was covering those costs, explained business superintendent Ron Purdy. Currently, the ministry funds eight prekindergarten programs throughout the division, including Empire School (one), King George School (two), Prince Arthur School (one), Westmount School (two), William Grayson School (one), and Assiniboia Seventh Avenue School (one). Meanwhile, PSSD supports nine prekindergarten programs throughout the division, including Central
Butte School (one), Coronach School (one), Glentworth School (one), École Gravelbourg School (one), Lafleche School (one), Lindale School (one), École Palliser Heights School (two), and Sunningdale School (one). “We have not used any of the restricted prekindergarten money since it was restricted. Removing the restriction frees up those funds for other priorities and does not affect the operation of the existing prekindergartens,” Purdy said during the recent board meeting. Unrestricting the prekindergarten funds will make $620,548 available for other purposes. Meanwhile, division administration also agreed to free up money that was restricted for innovation projects, Purdy said. This means $107,066 in uncommitted money will be used for other projects, while $52,882 will remain restricted for uncompleted innovation projects. These decisions mean a total of $727,614 will be available for projects throughout the division. Trustee Lew Young thought these were interesting
SOUTH decisions because he never thought he would see the day when the division would have money available to support the prekindergarten program. “Our public should know that too because the public has never really realized that Prairie South funded our prek program with funds that could go to some other part of education,” he said. “And to see this, that this has become a part of our budget and it’s unrestricted is monumental, in a way … .”
Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express The Moose Jaw Amateur Radio Club was at the Sukanen where members spent 24 hours speaking with people worldwide. they take their equipment from home, set it up in a public place and demonstrate the aspects of amateur radio through digital and voice formats, explained Vice-president Frank Lloyd. Members received points for such actions as setting up in public or using emergency power to operate. They then communicated with whoever is on the airwaves from noon Saturday to noon Sunday. The club erected a temporary antenna tower, determined the power source it wanted to use, connected the radios, turned them into an operating station, spent the day on the airwaves and then tore down everything. Since some operators are also members of the Sukanen Ship Pioneer Village and Museum, their — older format — equipment and radios were already on site.

CITY HALL COUNCIL NOTES
Recently formed public art committee looking at many new projects Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express
The next regular council meeting is MONDAY, JUNE 27 The newly formed public art committee has only been around for a couple of months, but it appears to be hard at work determining the direction of the community’s art policy. During the recent city council meeting, council unanimously approved a motion from the committee to renew the mural licence agreement with Saskatchewan Telecommunications (SaskTel) for 10 more years; the current agreement expires Monday, Sept. 19. Council also authorized the mayor and city clerk to sign the agreement on behalf of the municipality. Coun. Heather Eby, council’s rep on the committee, from city administration present. She noted that the committee held its second meeting in early June and discussed several new and exciting initiatives. “I really think we made a good decision to combine the murals (committee) with this committee and I look next (council) meeting,” Eby added. The minutes from the public art committee’s May meeting show that one of the main issues members dis-
cussed was the “Stormin’ Main Street” mural at 44 Fairford Street West on the east side of the former Moose Jaw Times-Herald building. Michael Kotschorek with Gold Key Investments Inc. spoke to the committee and explained that his company had moved into the former newspaper building from 100 Fairford Street West. The company’s goal was to install eight windows and a door on the east side of the building where the mural is. Kotschorek noted that the company is open to working with the committee about the placement of the windows and door. “Administration noted that the licence agreement dated June 12, 1991, between the city and the past owner (Canadian Newspapers Company Ltd.) of the 44 Fairford St. W building expired in 2001 and was not renewed,” the minutes said. The committee discussed the possibility of a smaller mural or set of smaller murals that could be installed above the proposed windows, the report continued. Meanwhile, Kotschorek said his company would help cover costs with
Members then approved a motion to table the discussion about relocating the “Stormin’ Main Street” mural to the June meeting. The minutes from that June meeting will be presented during the June 27 regular council meeting. A review of the June meeting agenda shows the committee was to discuss a new mural near the Wakamow Valley underpass, installation of a bison sculpture, a new mural in Crescent Park, the location of the Chinese mural, a murals tour through Tourism Moose Jaw, and the mural maintenance plan for this year. Committee appointments During a recent executive committee meeting, council approved Mary Rafferty to the public art committee for a term that commenced immediately and ends Dec. 31. Council also approved the appointment of Lt.-Col. Mario Charron and Elisa Johnson (as an alternate) to the public works, infrastructure and environment advisory committee for a term that commences immediately and ends on Dec. 31, 2023. They are on the committee representing 15 Wing Air Base.

City hall says crumbling sidewalks are on its radar for repairs Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express
City hall has no plans to install rebar in sidewalks in areas where the soil moves frequently but could conduct a test section to see how effective that would be. During the recent city council meeting, Coun. Jamey Logan inquired about sidewalks in areas with heavy clay soils, such as Calypso Drive. He noted that there is no
Most problems with sidewalks or roads are because of issues underneath those surfaces, Harlton said. However, he would review Calypso Drive and determine what the problems are.
Those sidewalks are listed for paving this year — late summer or early fall — while the public works department is investigating why they were left for so long, said director Darrin Stephanson.
Meanwhile, Harlton told Coun. Doug Blanc that he
installing such material in heavy clay areas. “You would still get the cracking, but maybe the sidewalk wouldn’t come apart and be a dangerous occurrence,” he added. The engineering department changed policy last year where it deepened the sand base of sidewalks to six inches from four inches, while it now conducts more tests of that sand when it’s below grade, explained director Bevan Harlton. Meanwhile, the department does not install rebar in sidewalks unless it’s a commercial crossing with heavy
accidents at the corner of Fourth Avenue Northwest and Macdonald Street West and determine whether a four-way stop was necessary. Blanc has heard from residents that that intersection is dangerous because the hill prevents clear visibility.
Coun. Dawn Luhning asked why the Commissionaires were still at the front doors of city hall and why city administration hadn’t eliminated those positions since the province had lifted COVID-19 restrictions. City administration hired the Commissionaires for a year, not knowing at the time whether the pandemic would still be ongoing, said Puffalt. So, their presence is budgeted, while they also provide a sense of security for the building. “Not all our customers are as friendly as they can be,” he added.
“So yes, rebar helps, but it comes at a cost,” he added. Logan wondered if there were opportunities to test rebar-infused concrete on Calypso Drive since some sidewalks were cracked and “awful.” He has walked there and noticed that some sidewalks replaced in 2017 look like they’re from 2005. He thought a test section could help city hall determine how much extra it would cost to install rebar in future sidewalks and how such infrastructure reacts over time.
Meanwhile, city manager Jim Puffalt told Blanc that it was an oversight on city hall’s part to replace the sidewalks near Sunningdale School now instead of waiting until July or August. The standard operating procedure is to stay away from schools while in session. “We made a mistake. We corrected it by stopping all the work there. We’re not going to pave in front of the school until July,” Puffalt added. “Certainly, it was our mistake and we talked to the principal … to express our regrets on the decision-making.” Crescent years ago because of sewer replacements and left them as gravel, Blanc said. He wondered if city hall planned to pave them.
The parks and recreation department is investigating how to handle the pigeon problem in Moose Jaw, especially downtown, said director Derek Blais. The department plans to test new preventative materials under the bridge in Crescent Park but is acquiring prices from contractors and looking at other solutions. “The entrance to the (Kinsmen) Sportsplex is another area that’s bad. We (also) have a lot of issues at our something that is successful, I’m sure we can share it with the community if people are having issues.”

CITY HALL COUNCIL NOTES
Integrity commissioner could be hired as part of updated council ethics bylaw Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express
The next regular council meeting is MONDAY, JUNE 27 An updated code of ethics for city council could address issues around members who run for provincial or federal politics, while an integrity commissioner could be hired to investigate ethics complaints. During its recent executive committee meeting, council unanimously approved a recommendation to adopt bylaw No. 5669, the Code of Ethical Conduct for Members of City Council Bylaw, 2022. Once adopted, the city solicitor and city clerk will pursue the services of an integrity commissioner or commissioners on a retainer basis, on an ad hoc interim basis, or jointly with other municipalities, with the contract to end Dec. 31, 2024. The recommendations must be approved at a future This updated bylaw is in response to a motion that council passed in September 2021. Members wanted the new bylaw to provide greater detail on what constitutes ethical behaviour, expand the visions for members who pursue election at other political levels, and other matters that city administration considers appropriate. Holes in the bylaw While the current code of ethics meets the minimum requirements, it does not address areas such as gifts and relatives, actions during election periods, and leaves of absence while running for provincial or federal politics, explained city clerk Tracy Wittke.
Enhancing the policy could provide council with greater clarity on these issues. Need for IC The IC would work until December 2024 because there is a general election in November, so that person could train the new council on ethics issues, Wittke said. Meanwhile, the need for an IC arose after the situation with the Downtown Facility and Field House (DFFH) board in 2018. An IC could provide council with advice about sanctioning colleagues, but council would have the Investigating complaints While there is no requirement to have an integrity commissioner (IC), using such a person to investigate and provide recommendations on ethics complaints is considered best practice since it ensures impartiality and independence, Wittke said. investigated (within the City of Moose Jaw),” she stated. Hiring an IC would ensure the person can impartially assess or investigate complaints and provide recommendations about sanctions while ensuring the public that the matter is being fairly addressed, she continued. Meanwhile, council would not be able to dismiss the IC except for cause. The IC could address other areas such as providing advice and advance rulings and recommendations, preparing written materials about the IC’s role and obligations, delivering educational programs, and publishing an annual report.
Council inquiries Coun. Dawn Luhning was confused about why an IC is needed when city hall has the city solicitor — an in-house lawyer. She thought legal advice was the most important thing council needed when sanctioning colleagues. between that role and the city solicitor role, said city solicitor Andrew Svenson. For example, while the IC would provide a report about a situation, the city solicitor could offer advice about the next steps. “It amazes me sometimes that it has come to this, interest is … ,” said Luhning. “It still amazes me that people think they can hire their spouse to be whatever. It’s surprising to me.” ning was concerned that residents could abuse this new process and complain anytime they didn’t like a decision she helped make. Moreover, she thought adding more material to the ethics bylaw could create future legal issues. “It’s not an easy position to be in up here. We are put on the hot seat all the time and people think they can throw vitriol at us,” she added. “This is a good step in the right direction. It will strengthen our governance … especially in an election year,” said Coun. Crystal Froese. “If there are new members, it gives them an outlet to ask questions about how enced in that area.”
Cost goes up to install historic bell stand Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express City council has doubled the budget for the historic town bell stand project, which has been delayed several times because of issues with supplies and the contractor. During its recent regular meeting, council voted 6-1 to increase the budget for the design, fabrication and installation of the bell stand to $40,000 from the original $20,000. The shortfall will be funded through a $20,000 transfer from the PR-4 city complex upgrades account to the PR-23 general parks upgrades account. Council also authorized city administration to award the project contract per procedures outlined in the City of Moose Jaw purchasing policy. Coun. Dawn Luhning was opposed. Council initially approved the project budget during 2021 budget discussions, and following that approval, the parks and rec department worked with the heritage advibell stand, explained director Derek Blais. Council then awarded the construction and installation contract to Steady Metalworks last July. The company was unable to complete the project by fall 2021, so parks and rec asked council to carry forward that $20,000 budget into the new year, he continued. However, Steady Metalworks informed the department earlier cause it was dissolving.
So, parks and rec worked with the advisory committee on other options and acquired updated budget estimates for the stand. Those estimates showed that the budget should increase to $40,000, while the work should be completed by this fall. The price increased by $20,000 for several reasons, Blais added. now cost $5,500; an engineer suggested installing screw piles, anchors and concrete work, which cost $9,500; a contingency of $2,500 is required; and $2,500 is needed for engineering work. The Town of Moose Jaw purchased the bell in 1902 and erected it behind the town hall on Main Street and River Street. Back then, the bell hung on a 30-foot-tall signal that prohibition was in effect. Seventy years later, the bell was moved to Crescent Park and displayed near the art gallery before it was removed and stored in the city yards in 2010 because of vandalism. Students from Saskatchewan Polytechnic refurbished the bell in 2018. The previous plan was for the new bell stand to be composed of steel, stand 15 feet high, have a base of 10 square feet, and be installed on the northeast corner of
Mosaic Place on First Avenue Northwest. A plaque was also expected to be installed near the 1,500-pound bell to It is not known whether city hall will continue with this plan.

fundraiser to organizer The City of Moose Jaw was pleased to assist Ray Rawlyk, organizer of the Ukraine Rally Fundraiser on April 10 in Crescent Park, with his fundraising efforts for the Canadian Red Cross —Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal. The city accepted all start-up donations and made required payments so that he could focus on the logistics of organizing the successful fundraising event. The municipality held those funds in trust and, once the event’s expenses were paid, the city presented a cheque for $2,360.78, which will be added to the $10,700 that was raised at the April 10 event.

EXPRESS In downtown Calgary, the Advancing Women in Agriculture West conference took place on June 21st to 22nd. The conference attracted several hundred attendees from across Canada and even from abroad. Women from over 150 different agriculture organizations attended this year’s conference. The event, organized by Glacier Farm Media, was sponsored by several large companies in the agriculture industry. According to Iris Meck, founder of the Advancing Women in Agriculture conference, this was the 14th conference in the series. As part of this conference, women in agriculture network and learn from various speakers, both in the agricultural industry and personal development space. Among the attendees were women from all walks of life related to agricul-

Additionally, the conference welcomed a group of 20 students from ag programs across western Canada and Agriculture Minister, Marie-Claude Bibeau’s new Youth Council. Over two days, the conference featured numerous panelists, workshops, and excellent guest speakers. As part of the event, Katelyn Duban, the podcaster behind Rural Womens Podcast, created a podcast showcasing the personal anecdotes of many attendees. Some highlights of the conference included Michelle Cederberg’s speech, Sandip Lalli’s talk as former Nutrien EVP, and communication expert Lauren Sergy’s presentation.

Her presentation focused on implementing small habits to boost our focus on exercising, sleeping, and eating healthily to perform better on and off the farm. As a knowledgeable expert on agriculture and sustainability, Sandip Lalli spoke about the importance of living our values, and always remaining true to them. The next agricultural conference will be held in Niagara Falls, Ontario in November 2022, and the Western-based agriculture conference will take place in March, with the location yet to be determined.

ince’s history with appreciation and how others came here to make Saskatchewan a great place to live, work and raise a family. The Schmeiser family’s business success was built on Sask Polytech graduates’ contributions to the business and industry over the decades. Schmeiser encouraged the grads to appreciate an institution the business community holds in high regard. “I’ve learned to never close the door to looking at opportunities beyond your education, your goals or your dreams,” he continued. “… my parents instilled values, provided encouragement and stressed the importance of supporting your community. They taught me that public service is a noble profession and that volunteerism is expected.” Schmeiser congratulated the graduates on reaching this milestone but reminded them that the next stage of life offers regular tests and lessons afterward. He noted that life begins when people move outside their comfort zone, so grads should take risks, not let challenges intimidate them and not be afraid of failing. He also encouraged them to pursue lifelong learning, be passionate about what they do, always have a good attitude since that will advance their careers, and network with others. “Additionally, employers expect a good work ethic. Never, ever give someone the opportunity to question your work ethic, your value or your integrity,” Schmeiser said. Schmeiser urged the grads to believe in their dreams and chase them with courage. To believe in themselves and the work they do. To believe in what their parents taught them because someday that advice would make sense. To believe in their values and hold them high. To believe they have something to contribute. To believe they can make the world better. And, to believe in their talents and skills.

He noted that his great-grandparents and grandparents came from Austria, Hungary and Luxembourg because their homeland had limited farming opportunities. They moved here for the promise of a better life “It didn’t come easy for them, but through their hard work, ingenuity and perseverance, they set the foundation for their children, including my parents, to

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com On June 16, the Moose Jaw Drug Treatment Court (DTC) awarded two new graduates with plaques, a party, and personal congratulations from Provincial Court Judge Brian Hendrickson in another testament to the lasting changes the program can produce. Ashlie Zacharias, one of the graduates, is 21 years old. She has a young daughter from whom she had been separated because of the consequences of her addiction. She came from Swift Current to attend.

The Rural Municipality of Baildon distrator Diane Vivian Gronvold because of her disability and must pay her more than $122,000 in damages, a judge has ruled. In a decision released recently, the Hon. Madame Justice B.L. Klatt determined that the RM did not consider Gronvold’s disability — a concussion — and had a duty to accommodate her challenges, while it did not establish during a trial that accommodating her disability would result in hardship for the organization. Background Gronvold worked for the RM from Oct. 7, 2013 to Sept. 27, 2016 and was injured in a non-workplace accident in November 2014 where she suffered a serious concussion. She attempted to return to work twice but was unsuccessful due to headaches. Her doctor approved her return to work gradually, but in 2016, the RM told her it would not support her back-to-work plan and that nothing short of full-time employment would work. Gronvold later Financial compensation Based on income lost from July 18, 2016 to Dec. 31, 2018, Justice Klatt ordered the RM to pay Gronvold: $78,010.67 for lost income and wages $31,388.18 for lost income in hail in-

Provincial Court Report:
Trial set for woman accused of stealing thousands of dollars from former employer Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express
A trial has been set for a Moose Jaw woman accused of fraud and theft of over $5,000 in relation to incidents that occurred at her former workplace. Desiree Marie Da Silva, 33, made her 18th appearance in Moose Jaw Provincial Court recently, where her lawyer Estes Fonkalsrud entered not-guilty pleas to the offences. He then asked that a trial in provincial court be set to argue the charges. That trial takes place Monday, Oct. 17, in courtroom 2 at the provincial courthouse building on Ominica Street.
A third charge against Da Silva of failing to appear in court will be spoken to at that time. According to information that the Moose Jaw Express obtained about this situation, Da Silva’s offences are alleged to have occurred between May 3, 2020 and Nov. 26, 2020. She is alleged to have stolen money from her previous employer, Keon’s Garden Centre. Da Silva no longer works for the greenhouse.
Gronvold $122,057.71 in damages. “There is no debate here that Gronvold suffered a disability that attracts the protection of the (Saskatchewan Human Rights) Code and the (Saskatchewan Employment) Act. … there is also no question she suffered adverse treatment by the RM,” Klatt wrote. Discriminatory conduct Gronvold asserted that the RM discriminated against her by failing to accommodate her disability, while its “stalwart” and “intransigent” position was always that nothing but full-time employment was acceptable, the justice said. Meanwhile, the RM argued that accommodating her gradual return would cause hardship since it would have to create a new position for her. Also, by refusing to engage in an external health assessment, Gronvold allegedly frustrated her job contract. Klatt determined that Gronvold suffered from a disability that attracted protection under the legislation and suffered from the RM’s adverse treatment. That treatment included the RM sending Gronvold letters asking about her condition in an aggressive and threatening tone. support Gronvold in returning to work on anything less than a full-time basis; nor did it make any attempt to,” the justice wrote.

Duty to accommodate An employer’s duty to accommodate an employee to the point of undue hardship arises from section 2-41 of the Act, while the onus to do so is high, Klatt said. “There is no evidence that the RM even considered what was possible and ible position, it categorically rejected any kind of accommodation at all,” she wrote, noting the “inescapable conclusion” was the RM failed to explore innovative ways to help Gronvold carry out any of her duties as administrator. Independent assessment The RM’s proposal that Gronvold undergo an external health assessment by a consultant who could prepare and evaluate a return-to-work policy was a “thin ‘Hail Mary’ attempt to comply with the statutory duty to accommodate,” wrote Klatt. The RM had enough information about Gronvold’s condition and knew computer work triggered her concussion-induced headaches. The organization also knew what Dr. Jan Vermaak — Gronvold’s physician — thought about concussions and that determining whether an emGronvold’s injury did not lend itself to the RM’s desire for certainty, while the organization did not provide evidence about how the external assessment would provide better insight into a back-to-work plan, the justice said. Therefore, Klatt added, the RM discriminated against Gronvold because of her disability and failed to accommodate her condition and return-to-work plan. Gronvold now works for the RM of McKillop.

Extended runway project celebrated at Moose Jaw Airport By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com
The Moose Jaw Municipal Airport Authority (MJMAA) held an event on June 24 to celebrate the completion of the project to extend the airport’s runway to 4000 feet and upgrade the apron, taxiways, and safety lighting. The celebration was attended by a number of dignitaries, including Lyle Stewart, the MLA for Lumsden-Morse and Provincial Secretary to the Premier; Greg Lawrence and Tim McLeod, Moose Jaw’s MLAs; Moose Jaw Mayor Clive Tolley along with city councillors Crystal Froese and Doug Blanc; representatives from 15 Wing including LCol Denis BanAir Demonstration Squadron; and the full board of the MJMAA. Craig Hemingway, communications manager for the City of Moose Jaw, was the master of ceremonies. Hemingway read a statement provided by Dominic LeBlanc, Canada’s Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure, and Communities. “Regional airports connect residents, create economic opportunities, and are a critical piece of our supply chain,” LeBlanc said. “The completion of this runway extension project is great news for the residents of Moose Jaw – and our government is proud to have contributed to it.” The federal government contributed $1.2 million to the project, while the Province of Saskatchewan put up just under $1 million. The City of Moose Jaw contributed up to $500,100 and is responsible for any additional project costs. Private investors with business interests at the airport were also a major source of funds. Greg Lawrence represented Premier Scott Moe, the Government of Saskatchewan, and provincial cabinet member Don McMorris for the occasion, and introduced Lyle Stewart, who also extended greetings on behalf of the provincial government. “It’s great to be here. This is overdue,” Stewart said. “We gather to celebrate today’s success, the completion of an important infrastructure project here at the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport, one that

It’s a project our provincial government was proud to support, and we did that by investing nearly a million dollars … under the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program.” The completed work, Stewart said, allows the airport to handle larger planes including business class, turboprops, and light jets. In addition, the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport (MJMA) is now able to better accommodate Saskatchewan Air itary aircraft from the base.

“Our Mission Is To Inspire Hope...Help is Available” “OUR MISSION IS TO INSPIRE HOPE,” JULIUS BROWN DIRECTOR OF OSI CAN. By Robert Thomas, MJ Independent Brown was in Moose Jaw as part of the Swervin Mini Indy held at the Town and Country Mall on Saturday, June 18th. The day was not just about go kart racing but was also a fundraiser and an opportunity to raise awareness for the OSI Canada Program. ing from employment related Occupational Stress Injury (commonly known as PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)). sponders, social workers, tow truck drivers, child protection workers and all front line protectors. Their message is a simple one. “We want people to know that there is hope of recovery,” Brown said. OSI is caused by a traumatic event or events that cause an individual living with the injury to experience a number of symptoms from sleep interruptions, depression, anxiety and others. OSI is also a treatable injury that in most cases can be improved, if not cured, if treated effectively and appropriately. A Vietnam veteran he said things have changed when it comes to how society, and not just those in the workforce who face traumatic events, view OSI. There are more supports in the community as well as professionally available. Supports that did not exist in Brown’s past when he was in the US military. “When I entered the military 48 years ago I can tell you there wasn’t any help. In fact that is what inspires me

to do what I do. For every man or woman who is a part of this program to give forward. Because we recognize there was a time when help didn’t exist.” Since 2016 the program Brown runs has grown from three initial support groups to 16 support groups scattered across the province. The program has also expanded into Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia. “Raising the public awareness is about trying to promote a help seeking society. We do many things during our daily lives. The one I will use is brushing our teeth as prevention. So what do we do for mental health prevention? We are trying to get individuals, the whole society, we are all in this together. If feel you are dealing with something you should feel easy going to the doctor and saying ‘look can you help me out?” He said the increase in the number of people seeking help from OSI Canada has grown partially because society’s views have changed but also because the need has grown. sponders in the last six years has grown by leaps and bounds. Actually there is still more work that needs to be done but I have seen so much progress in the last six years. So much so that it is becoming easier for an individual to come forward and say I need some help.” The stigma surrounding mental disorders persists Brown said but society attitudes are changing. He stressed the need to look at mental health as something a person looks after in a preventive manner and if they need help to just ask for it. “When it comes to mental health that stigma exists right straight across the board. Whether you are talking are trained to respond to these events the general populace cannot handle but because of that it makes it a little yourself to get help,” he said.

If they have to take time off then someone else has to take up the slack.” Started ion 2016 the program has grown from three original support groups to the present 16. A main reason is because of the demand but also to be closer to where individuals need and ask for help. OSI Canada is a community based grassroots program that establishes support groups in communities where they are needed. “We start support groups where the need exists. As we continue we are contacted by other communities that would like to have support with them…it is designed to provide support in communities directly where individuals can access them.” Part of the program is reaching out to every community asking for help. He would not name any to protect “We have individuals from every demographic, every culture has reached out to us for help,” Brown said. reach out for help. “When someone contacts us we make sure it does not get back to their employer or others. Our main objective is to make sure they get help,” Brown said. Brown said the program is not just about group support but if the individual seeking help they will assist them to navigate the mental health system to get appropriate support and help. “Our program believes in peer and prevention support. What that means at the peer level you are able to have a discussion with someone who is not judgmental that know what it is like to deal with these symptoms because everyone in our support group has lived the experience.” The program will also help those with OSI navigate what can be at times an overwhelming mental health system. “If an individual is needing more support than that we have a list of psychologists or counsellors we can refer them to that have been vetted to us. They specialize not only in trauma, but depression, anxiety, sleep disorders that kind of thing.” In the end though Brown said things have changed for the better. “It is making it easier and easier for them to come forward to seek help. And ultimately that is what this is about…if you need any help come and talk to us. https://www.mjindependent.com/lifestyles/2022/6/19/rqxhj3kkdiegmht936z87mjpstg953

The event was one of many activities that the organization held during its “Welcome Week.” was delayed for two years because of the pandemic. Also, during the ceremony, Stephanie Ramsey received the 2022 Early Childhood Practitioner Award for her work with the YMCA’s early learning program at St. Margaret School. “… parenthood has been the most transformational experience of my life. We have been so fortunate in the last couple of challenging years to have access to such a thoughtful space and team of people at the family resource centre,” Laura said. Anna was born during the lockdown, so it was great to receive joy bags and story boxes from the FRC, which brought life to the dreary days of the pandemic, she continued. The Adrian family has accessed many of the centre’s offerings, such as cooking classes, story trail, and play space.

Antonio Meanwhile, Laura praised the design of the building’s interior, noting it feels homey and welcoming. Max’s favourite area is the kitchen section, while Anna likes to play with babies in that area. “But what makes the Moose Jaw FRC truly unique are the people that work here … (and) who understand that all children and families are unique and sacred,” she added. A second guest speaker was the Saskatchewan Health Authority’s Malinda Strueby, who worked with the FRC’s management team the past year. As a former educator, Strueby thought the centre was remarkable and had an immediate effect on people. She thought it was a joyto discover. The centre’s vision is to provide families and chilwhile offering services that align with the program’s four pillars, she continued. The pillars include early learning,
parenting education, family wellness and referrals. “This facility is truly a gem in our community,” Strueby said, praising centre co-ordinator Wanda Peakman and her team for their dedication to early years programming. “We are so excited for all that is ahead … . The best is yet to come.” Rob Clark, CEO of the Moose Jaw and District Chamber of Commerce, said that while the chamber is the voice of business, it wants to “step out of that” and work with more with community-based organizations that improve quality of life. “We believe that a strong community is totally linked to a strong business community. We see the value in supyears of children’s development are critical to their overall well-being. “We want to see Moose Jaw grow and help our future leaders and entrepreneurs … who will be walking the halls of the Moose Jaw Family Resource Centre.” Tim McLeod, MLA for Moose Jaw-North, also praised the staff and families for making the centre a reality. He said that it has positively affected the community, as last year it supported more than 700 families and children in person. Meanwhile, almost 12,400 people attended online classes and programming, there were over 94,000 views on the centre’s social media pages, while the venue distributed 1,900 learning kits. “Those are truly impressive numbers,” he said, noting the FRC is one of 15 such places in Saskatchewan making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families. He added that the provincial government is committed to supporting early learning programs.

Ruck It Up organizers present Journey to Hope with $10,000 cheque By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com
This year’s second annual Ruck It Up event in support of mental health initiatives and suicide prevention by Journey to Hope Moose Jaw successfully raised $10,000 and was presented by organizers on June 21. “Journey to Hope is so grateful for the work that Tyler Simpson, Chris Robart, and Brett Hagan have done,” said Della Ferguson, a Journey to Hope member. Ferguson said that Ruck It Up is doing important work raising awareness of the importance of staying mentally healthy,
Mihalicz has had a mullet for the last few years. He explained in a May 3 Facebook post that he had initially grown the hairstyle to be trendy. In coordination with the Canadian Mental Health Association, he decided to raise money to “Tame the Mane” and donate the proceeds to Ruck It Up. He and the Grade 7/8 class at William Grayson School did a drive to cut his hair. The students raised over $500 by themselves, and another $1,200 with community help. Mihalicz donated his newly shorn locks to an organization that makes wigs for children. “Myself and one of the representatives from Journey to Hope went by and thanked him and his class,” Hagan said. “We talked about what the raising of funds nitely helps.” Mihalicz and one of his students also participated in the ruck itself. Eighty-eight participants rucked about 6 kilometres through Wakamow Valley. Hagan, Simpson, and Robart made the walk/hike somewhat more challenging this year, and were happy to receive a positive response to the upgrade.
support mental health, and breaking stigmatization. “Having it come from men is just such a helpful thing,” she added. “The other thing is that the idea of rucking is a fairly new concept, and it’s such a wonderful health wellness strategy. We’re so grateful to (the Ruck It Up organizers) for bringing that awareness to another mental health strategy.” Hagan explained in a previous story that rucking is a verb meaning to walk with a weighted rucksack/backpack. Hagan makes regular rucks around Moose Jaw, and adds exercises such as push-ups The name of the event comes from the out-dated “code of silence” mentality, Hagan said. Men, in particular, have been expected to “suck it up” when it comes to being in pain and experiencing suffering. Don’t suck it up — ruck it up is the

Moose Jawg Charity Road Race to return in 2023 with new organizers Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express
After 18 years of organizing the Moose Jawg Charity Road Race and raising funds for the Moose Jaw Health Foundation, Dawn Luhning has decided to pass the project to others. After the pandemic cancelled the 2020 and 2021 editions of the race, hopes were high that the event could proceed in 2022, especially with high vaccination rates, Luhning wrote on Facebook. However, those hopes won’t be coming to fruition this year, so marathon enthusiasts will have to wait until June 17, 2023 to participate in the next race.
“I’ve made a conscious decision to move on and pass the torch to others to take over the (reins) of Moose Jawg. I will have more information very soon,” said Luhning. “These last two years have taken me out of the groove of planning this event, and over the last years with Moose Jawg, I have been the one organizing and ensuring all of it went off without a hitch. It’s a large task and it’s time for me to move on.” Luhning has given the charity road race to Andrea Amiot and Teri Nimegeers
greenhouse built by A. E. Peacock students
by Fox Klein - Moose Jaw Express/ MooseJawToday.com A partnership between Yara Belle Plaine, A.E. Peacock Collegiate and Saskatchewan 4-H made it possible for the students at A.E. Peacock Collegiate to build the grand prize greenhouse of the 25th Annual 4-H Saskatchewan Lottery. Yara Belle Plaine provided the funds, while Vice-Principal Brad Raes facilitated the evdeavour for the lottery. Many students had the chance to help with the greenhouse under the supervision of the Peacock’s shop teacher, Joel Robinson with the project taking about 25-30 working hours to complete. “I would really like to thank Mr. Robinson for the extra work that he takes-on in doing this for the kids, and the Yara Centre for donating all this stuff,” said Raes. greenhouse, Home Hardware transported the greenhouse to their parking lot for display and will be transported to the winner’s residence after the draw.

of The Attic Spin Studio. Luhning noted that she was “super excited” to help transition her race to them and thought they would make it their own. In a separate Facebook post, The Attic Spin Studio replied, “We are very excited about this and thank you Dawn Luhning for passing the (reins) over to us!!” The last Moose Jawg Charity Road race occurred on July 1, 2019. The 18th edition of the race raised $5,000 for the health foundation, while since its beginning, the event had raised more than $134,000. After that race, Luhning said she was pleased with how it turned out and described it as awesome. “Really good, really good. It was a great day and it was great weather,” she said at the time. “It ran pretty smoothly. It was one of the smoothest ones I’ve ever ran.”
That year there were 260 participants, while 59 youngsters took part in the Runt Run. Luhning joined the kids during their event and ran with them over the bridge. “I’ve always said that’s one of the best parts of the day is watching them line up,” she said. “They’re so excited to be there and it’s just a great part of the event, that’s for sure.” Luhning did not participate in the races but stayed behind to ensure the logistics ran smoothly, supported the volunteers if they needed help and cheered on the racers. After the 2019 race, Luhning had a race tradition. A website had been expected to launch in January 2020 to allow runners to register, but COVID-19 popped its head into the picture a few months later — and we all know how that turned out.

That lone blemish came after the Millers opened the week with a 4-3 win over Regina on June 21, followed by 11-5 and 10-9 wins in Medicine Hat on June 22 and 23, a 6-3 win back home against Swift Current on Friday and 12-9 road win over the 57’s on Saturday. It all means Moose Jaw carries a 16-7 WCBL East Division, two-and-a-half games up on Swift Current. Regina 12, Moose Jaw 9 Regina did almost all their damage in the second inning, putting up 10 runs.

He and Sandra purchased land in Marshall, Arkansas and resided there for a time together. Dad remarried a third time to Eva Joe Cates, and settled in Marshall, where Eva led Him to God. He gave his life to Christ. God calmed his restless Spirit. He was a changed Man. He Adopted in His Heart, Eva’s 4 adult children, Steven, Patti, Daniel (Barb), Craig, and Families. Dad was always a very hard worker and strived to do things right! He Loved the simple life that the Ozark Mountains provided. He battled Hodgkin’s Cancer in his 60’s and Won! He fought through his problematic Mitral Valve, Aneurysm and 4 blocked Arteries 8 years ago. Eva and Barb stayed by his side throughout the recovery period. He was felling trees right to the day of his stroke, which Arms of Jesus at the age of 87, and His beloved Eva who passed away at 90, in February of 2022.

Thanks to all our well wishers who joined us at the “church” in the yard on Caribou West on Saturday for the celebration of our 60th wedding anniversary. We hope the cold drinks, ice cream and fans kept you from being overcome with the 37 degree heat. We would further like to thank our four daughters (the four ‘things’) Lorna, Ruth, Beth and Allison for administering the affair so capably and their husbands for the great job of looking after cars and parking spaces. We enjoyed it immensely! Len and Eleanor Davidson

Mercurial Elon Musk is a well-known business tycoon and investor, who has recently made an offer to purchase Twitter. He has founded SpaceX, is CEO of Tesla, and has a net worth of over $200 billion. Many news articles describe his business temperament and personality as mercurial. Shoaib Daniyal is quoted in the Anchorage Daily News (May 14, 2002), “There’s a lot of hate on Twitter, especially directed at minorities. And so there’s always a constant battle to get Twitter to clamp down on hate speech, very often violent hate speech and fake news,” says Shoaib Daniyal, associate editor with the Indian news says. “And Twitter hasn’t done a lot about it. So let’s see where it goes.” Which, given Musk’s mercurial nature, could be almost any direction at all.” Mercurial means to be characterized by rapid and unpredictable changeableness. The word is derived from the Latin mercurius which was morphed into English as mercury in the 1300s. Mercurius was the Roman god of commerce, eloquence, travel, cunning, and theft. He functioned as a messenger for the gods, characterized by Mercury was often portrayed with winged sandals and a traveler’s hat. He was the Roman equivalent to the Greek god Hermes. On one of his Christian missionary trips St. Paul

was compared to Hermes by the citizens of Lystra. Acts chapter 14 records, “And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!” Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.” Mercury was also the Roman name of the planet closest to the sun. The Romans knew of seven bright obest planets. They named them after their most important gods. Because Mercury was the fastest planet as it moved around the Sun, it was named after the Roman messenger god Mercurius. A silver-white metal, liquid at ordinary temperatures, was also called by the name mercury because of its changeableness. The poisonous heavy metal is used in and barometers. Mercury is the only element to retain its alchemical name into modern times. Alchemy is the ancient knowledge of natural philosophy and protoscience. Studied in China, India, and the Middle East as the art of purifying materials and curing diseases, alchemy came to Europe as the pseudo ability of attempting to turn base metals into precious metals. With this history of the word, mercurial has also been used to describe qualities of eloquence, ingenuity, and thievishness, reMercury. In the 14th century a person born under the astrological sign of the planet Mercury was thought to have an unpredictable changeableness of mood throughout life. In the business world employees may describe their boss’s mood as mercurial because they never know how the person in charge is going to react to anything. I have discovered that my two, going on three, year old
This squirrel chows down on a piece of tree bark. Ron Walter photo granddaughter is also very mercurial. On one visit with us she will eat little but cucumbers and the next time, after buying an extra 3 pack of cucumbers, she snubs her nose at them and desire mangoes. The next visit the food of choice is crackers with peanut butter. You never know what may come next. Given Elon Musk’s antics of late it is easy to see how this adjective aptly describes him and his business actions. One might wonder, does Elon Musk see himself as some kind of god?

www.sheppardrealty.ca Farm & Ranch Real Estate. It’s What We Do. The Moose Jaw Amateur Radio Club (MJARC), which ceive an station operating licence, is celebrating its 101st birthday this year. Local amateur radio operators gathered at the YMCA on Nov. 16, 1921 and chartered the Moose Jaw Amateur Radio Association. The club adopted a temporary set of rules, while members elected W.R. (Wally) Pottle as president, Pay Bayley as vice-president, J.E. Brickett as secretary and A. Mathers as treasurer. tion licence to the club and gave it the call sign 10AB, while members transmitted signals at 10 watts. This increased to 50 watts in 1923. However, members found they could not afford to run the station and turned it over to the Kiwanis Club, which gave it back a year later. MJARC operated the station at 1200 kHz with 50 watts of power from studios in ing and Bellamy’s Furniture. The father of CHAB forced the club to shut down the station. Commercial businessmen purchased it and returned it to the air as CHAB. This was probably for the best since, in 1934, the federal government forced all experimental stations to either obtain a commercial licence or shut down. Today the club is known by the call sign VE5MA and is active with about 10 members. While members have equipment at their homes, the

club also has a station set up at the Western Development Museum and a room full of antique radio equipment used in homes, aircraft and military bases. A fun hobby Amateur radio — also known as ham radio — is appealing because it’s great talking with people worldwide without a cellphone or internet, said vice-president Frank Lloyd. He enjoys listening to AM stations throughout North America and the world, talking with people who still have CB radio, networking with others and engaging in a fun hobby. “I’m a radio technology-based enthusiast playing with whatever catches my mind at the moment, depending on the day. Some days it’s HF — as in high-frequency — radios that can talk from here to Mexico or Australia … ,” he continued. Ham operators require a licence because only a dozen radio bands are available, and the federal government regulates the airwaves. Cost of equipment People can purchase the “Volkswagen of radio” — usually older hand-held radios — for $30 if they lack money, while they could buy “the Ferrari of radio” — an ICOM unit for $2,800 — if they had cash, said Lloyd. What matters, though, is that operators — they don’t need to be tech-savvy — enjoy the hobby. Pioneers of the internet Long before the internet or texting by cellphone, Lloyd sent messages to others and vice versa using “an old, old computer,” a keyboard and radio signals. He noted that anything sent through today’s internet was pioneered by amateur radio operators years ago. Today, electrical controllers turn messages or pictures into radio signals and send them to another receiver, where an antenna picks them up, and the controller on that end decodes them. When a signal bounces off the ionosphere, a ham radio operator can reach someone in Alaska or Australia. Messages can also be sent to the International Space Station with the help of a nearly obsolete 30-year-old satellite. When two stations contact each other, postcard-like QSL cards are exchanged between the parties to show they have connected, Lloyd said. Operators are excited to collect these cards, while there is even a contest to see who can acquire the most. Learning by osmosis Lloyd has been involved with amateur radio for 30
Moose Jaw Amateur Radio Club members Frank Lloyd (foreground) and Dave communicate with someone somewhere in the world using a ham radio. Photo courtesy Facebook years. He jumped into the activity “by osmosis” because he was initially interested in AM broadcast radio and all the channels he could pick up. That interest progressed over the years before someone suggested he join a club. He didn’t think much of it, but began listening to short-wave radio stations from BBC Foreign Service and Ecuador. That eventually led him to join the MJARC. It also helped that he worked for SaskTel for 37 years and worked on older electronics. Teaching others As club vice-president, Lloyd teaches new members about ham radio and how to use the equipment. He enjoys watching their faces light up as they learn and discover a new world. Personally, he enjoys making contacts with people in places such as Great Britain, Australia and Hawaii. “And I’m a bit of a radio-tinkering person … . I take things apart and put (them) back together,” he added. Introductory classes usually happen once a year, and once people — regardless of age or sex — become members, club meetings occur on the third Tuesday of each month at Rodos Pizza at 7 p.m. Morning coffees are also held Saturdays at Humpty’s Restaurant on Thatcher Drive at 8 a.m. Visit mjarc.ca for more information.

BlackTop Hop to raise funds for Shurniak Art Gallery in Assiniboia
Special event to feature gallery tours, supper and concert by renowned country musician Justin Labrash Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express Fans of interesting art, great food and awesome country music will have a chance to enjoy all three in one night of festivities during the BlackTop Hop in Assiniboia this coming weekend. The Shurniak Art Gallery will be holding the event on Saturday, July 2, and it’ll be hard to miss if you’re in the community that evening -- the area of Third Avenue outside of the Gallery will be blocked off with a stage setup and everything in place for a fun night of fundraising. “It’s a street-dance style fundraiser, it’ll be inside and outside the Shurniak Art Gallery and the gallery will be open for tours and exhibits as well as a supper and Justin Labrash concert,” said event organizer Jyann Williams. “Everyone has been waiting for everything to open up again and support our community, and I’m excited, and it’s just a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness and some money for the Gallery.” Everything gets underway at 5 p.m., with the Gallery open for a tour of all the art exhibits and everything they have to offer. Performers from Gisele’s DanceTyme Studio will be on stage in the early

ment begins. Renowned Saskatchewan country music performance Justin Labrash will take the stage at 8 p.m. and will play a full concert, after which a DJ will spin tunes well into the early morning hours. Tickets are $50 each and offer access to the full evening of activities. “It’ll be an all-night party for sure, lots of music, lots of good food and lots of fun” Williams said. Ticket sales are going well, with Williams expecting between 200 and 300 people to attend the event. And it’s all for a good cause as the Shurniak looks to bolster their coffers. “Since Bill’s passing in 2020, it’s just been expected that we’re going to have to apply for grants and look for fundraising opportunities to keep it all viable,” Williams said. “It’s not a ‘if we don’t make money now we’re going to close down’ situation, we’re just preparing for the future.” For more on the BlackTop Hop and to purchase tickets, be sure to visit the Shurniak Art Gallery’s website at shurniakartgallery.ca.
