Moose Jaw’s Transplant Trot and its colourful green T-shirts are returning after a four-year pandemic-induced absence, giving organ transplant advocates the oppororgans, tissues and marrow.

The sixth annual event occurs Sunday, May 28, at Sunningdale School. The trot starts with speeches at 9:45 a.m., followed by the 3K walk, 5K walk or run and 10K run at 10 a.m.

Entry fee for adults over age 13 is $45, for children six to 12 is $20 and chilreceive a free shirt with entry, while theremunity businesses.

All funds raised will go to the Canadian Transplant Association to continue

raising awareness about organ donation and transplants.

The Transplant Trot was created to celebrate life after transplantation for organ and tissue recipients, increase organ and tissue donation awareness in the community and across Canada and increase the number of registered organ and tissue donors across the country.

Gadd, who had a double-lung transplant in 2014 in Edmonton, where he learned about the Transplant Trot and then brought it to Moose Jaw.

It has been a long four years, but it was the right decision not to hold the event because many people whom the event represents are immunocompromised, he runs during the pandemic, but it wasn’t the same as an in-person event.

What’s unfortunate is Saskatchewan was seeing a breakthrough in awareness with organ donations when the pandemic erupted in March 2020, Gadd said.

The province launched an accessible online organ donor registry in September 2020, making it easier for people to become donors with the click of a button.

“We couldn’t really celebrate that that much because there wasn’t a lot of ways to get together and do that, especially in the COVID times … ,” he said.

“(But) you know, (we’re) just really excited to get back there and bring awareness to such an important cause that really needs to be heard about in the public more often.”

Gadd was in Swift Currently recently to attend his son’s lacrosse tournament and noticed banners hanging in the arena promoting organ donation. He appreciated seeing that, along with the stickers or ribbons people were wearing.

Raising awareness about organ donation is important because when familiesceiving medical care, they need to know

what their family member’s wishes are in advance, he added.

Saskatchewan’s response to organ donation has been climbing over the past few years, part of which can be attributed to the Logan Boulet effect, Gadd said.

Boulet was one of 16 Humboldt Broncos’ members killed in the 2018 bus crash. He had registered to be an organ donor just before the crash.

According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, 27 people in Saskatchewan received a kidney transplant in

2021 while 115 were on a wait list for that organ.

from bone marrow, tissue and blood, said Gadd.

“Organ donation saves lives. It can make a terrible situation for one family be the greatest day in the world for another family,” he added.

for community service

This year’s theme for Public Works Week is “Connecting The World Through Public Works,” which aims to highlight how public works professionals connect residents physically through infrastructure and inspirationally through community service.

Mayor Clive Tolley and employees from city hall gathered at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) behind the Great Plains Power Station in the agri-food industrial park on May 2 to proclaim May 21 to 27 as Public Works Week.

“Whether it’s repairing infrastructure, ensuring safe drinking water, collecting our garbage, beautifying our green spaces and more, public works employees improve the quality of life for all Moose Javians,” the mayor said. “I encourage all residents to take some time during Public Works Week to appreciate the multiple ways our public works employees positively impact Moose Jaw.”

The public works department looks after several city services and infrastructure items, such as streets and roads, bridges, water and wastewater, public transportation, parks and green space maintenance, and building and venue maintenance.

“I think it’s very important to recognize public works employees. They’re not recognized very often, so to take that week

and recognize what we do and how we are in the community and we serve our communities and we’re there for our communities (and) to ensure that everybody has a better quality of life (is critical),” said Staci Dobrescu, utilities supervisor of water and wastewater (underground infrastructure).

People should consider a job in public works since it can be a long-term career, said Dobrescu, who has worked for the City of Moose Jaw for more than 25 years. She pointed out that there are many municipal jobs to pursue, whether it’s being an accountant at city hall or a labourer

Furthermore, people can pursue another job within the organization once they are working for the city and can move from working inside city hall to working outside or at another municipal building, she continued. She started as a labourer

and is now the utilities supervisor of water and wastewater.

“So it gives you a lot of opportunity for different career paths,” Dobrescu added.

To celebrate Public Works Week, the municipality is hosting an open house at on Wednesday, May 24, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be live demonstrations of machines, games, food, face painting, discussions with employees and equipment to touch and inspect. -

reers with the City of Moose Jaw.

“I love seeing it. I love seeing people interested in public works and actually that we take to do our front-line work and to do all the work in the city,” said Dobrescu.

“If they (residents) didn’t have public works, the roads wouldn’t be very driveable (and) they wouldn’t be clear. You wouldn’t have sewer (and) you wouldn’t have water,” she continued. “So (it’s important to recognize) those unsung heroes that people don’t normally think of.”

Many people don’t realize how important these services are until they don’t have them, at which point, they make angry calls to city hall demanding action, Dobrescu added with a laugh. But, the great thing about public works staff is they unand desire to help solve those problems.

New immigrants looking for a job in Moose Jaw may face the Newcomer Welcome Centre is hosting several workshops to reduce those barriers.

Steps To Employment is a four-week program designed to teach newcomers how to search for jobs, write a cover letter, create a resumé and polish their interview

ing the four-week course and can add that experience to their curriculum vitae.

The four courses occur on May 10, 17, 24 and 31 at either 1:30 p.m. or 7 p.m. at the Welcome Centre at 432 Main Street North. Only six spots are available per time slot.

Immigrants who can attend the workshops include those registered with the provincial Employment Readiness Program, are permanent residents, are an open work permit holder or are a naturalized citizen within the last

be one to two hours — depending upon the people who attend, the number of questions they ask and how fast they understand the material, she said.

I was very blessed to have had a mother who may not have been the best, but she was mine and I loved her, foibles and all. She did her best for our family; she has been gone for almost three years and I miss her everyday and probably always will. She gave her daughter’s and son good guidance in the affairs of life, most importantly in my eyes has always been her sharing her faith with her family and nurturing us in those ways.

“It’s for individuals (who) are on contract to gain some sustainable skills to help them obtain employment and be able to stay within our lovely community,” explained Robyn Watson, employment readiness co-ordinator.

From a very early age and being the oldest child in the family, I was groomed to be responsible in helping to raise my younger siblings, the youngest sister being ten years younger. Although all my siblings thought I was too bossy, thankfully we made it through those years when I was left in charge for the days that my parents were away. We all survived and have lived to tell about it.

Mom was raised by a step-mother and I don’t think she received the best nurturing in the world but there were always other women in her life who took a place of pre-eminence and respect and were able to relay love to her. Thankfully, most individuals have had someone that has loved them unconditionally to replace a mother’s love.

Mom never felt quite adequate in her mothering, but one thing I can give her credit for is that her disciplining, it wasn’t too many minutes before she came to us and apologized for being so mad. I never remember physically being hit or slapped but she sure broke a lot of wooden spoons banging them against the counter in her communicating her disdain. But, I must say, the hour or two following her apology was grueling. We were sat down at the kitchen table where she proceeded to share the ‘whys and wherefores’ about what we had done and given advice about what good performance looks like. Although this certainly was a hard ordeal for a teenager to endure, I believe this was one of the best things she could have done for us. Communication has always been key to understanding. It takes lots of love to take time out of one’s day to share and listen…

As a wife, mother and grandmother myself, I believe talking things through with family members on a one-on-one basis creates a greater bond of love and respect. In actuality, it’s not necessarily what’s said but relayed in these times of conversation that bind us together as individuals and family. How grateful I am for the family I have to call my own. My greatest wish is that they know how truly loved they are!

Happy Moth ’s Day!

immigrants, she said. However, newcomers face larger challenges because they may not know companies, have connections or networking, or possess solid language skills.

Watson attempts to connect newcomers with employers through the workshops and the Employment Readiness Program. These connections can acquaint immigrants with some of Saskatchewan’s labour standards and ensure they understand the ins and outs of working.

The length of the workshops will vary — they could

These workshops are essential to put people on a path toward employment and give them a clear understanding search.

“I also welcome the opportunity to learn from each of those individuals that walk through my door as well, because each of them are different and unique and they have a set of skills and their personalities are exceptional,” Watson added.

“I just welcome that opportunity to meet them and learn from them.”

Ceremonies in Regina for the Coronation of King Charles III

By John Cairns

“We haven’t seen a Coronation in Canada in over 70 years,” said Jason Quilliam, Chief of Protocol for the Province of Saskatchewan. “It’s our opportunity to celebrate the coronation, albeit a day early. “

In terms of protocol the three main elements of that day’s ceremony that were directly related to the Crown, Quilliam said, included an Indigenous smudging and honour song to honor the special relationship that exists between the Crown and Indigenous peoples, then the parade proper which included members of the Canadian Armed Forces, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

“King Charles was recently named Commissioner-in-Chief of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a position that his mother held her late Majesty held before him, and of course he is the Commander-in-Chief for the Canadian Armed Forces.”

McLeod also acknowledged it was a major change for residents after the long reign of Queen Elizabeth II.

“First and foremost, it’s going to take a while for all of us to get used to seeing his Majesty instead of her Majesty, given the length of time and service that we enjoyed from her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth (II)... I certainly hope his Majesty will visit Saskatchewan sometime soon.”

Reflective Moments

Fifty-year-old Tupperware bowls

As a young married woman, I wanted to be included in events of a social nature, with the possibility of making new friendships that might endure for decades.

But as a young married woman, I feared that some of the social invitations would include house parties where a sales person would attempt to sell those in attendance on the virtues of jewelry, bubble bath beads, or cooking wares such as Tupperware. The more sales generated, the more prizes the hostess would earn, and if someone booked a party in her own home, the awards grew and grew.

I had nothing against such gatherings, except for the fact I didn’t have any spare cash with which to purchase much or any of the products being offered. I enjoyed receiving the free samples and the lunches were especially worth the effort to attend.

However, I was embarrassed to hide in the bathroom when the sales sheets made the rounds, and I felt even more out of my depth when I picked out the cheap-

est item and reluctantly signed my name and handed over the required money. attended at the home of a work colleague, a set of three bowls, with lids, all in that traditional white of Tupperware. Those bowls took my budget of spare cash but over the years, they have earned their keep and still hold a place of easy access in my kitchen cupboard.

Then I was convinced by another friend that if I hosted a party, she would receive enough points to earn some gadget she couldn’t live without but couldn’t afford to buy. I invited two or three ladies, then a few more and suddenly I had 10 or so guests coming for Tupperware and lunch. One lady, upon hearing about the party, asked if she could attend. I agreed and wow, she spent over $200 and I won two cake pans and a measuring cup.

When I heard the recent news that the Tupperware company was experienc-

ing lost sales and revenues and facing a shaky future, I couldn’t help but wonder how the staple of every household of my generation had reached such an economic conundrum.

My research indicates home parties and direct sales are not as popular with today’s homemakers. On-line shopping has intruded and other companies, copying Earl Tupper’s ideas, have taken away a huge share of the market.

That news hurt my loyal heart and I remembered all the Tupperware purchasstill use the set of three microwave safe containers. I have three measuring cups in non-metric measurements. I have a set of three yellow cookie containers, one of which is stained from the mincemeat tarts that spoiled one Christmas. Of course I didn’t throw it out. Cover the bottom with a paper towel or coloured waxed papering spoons and a funnel.

As part of a joint submission, Allin received six months (180 days) in jail. However, since he had been on remand for over 113 after being arrested in early January, the court credited him with 180 days and thus time served.

However, he did receive one year of probation, with conditions including keeping the peace and being of good -

tion counselling, and taking inpatient and outpatient treatment.

Allin was also given a lifetime ban on owning and possessing a shotgun.

Hunger in Moose Jaw celebrates 30 years of

Hunger in Moose Jaw has played an important role in addressing food security since it began operations 30 years ago and has likely supported hundreds of thousands of people in that time.

The organization celebrated its 30th anniversary on May 5 with a come-and-go tea featuring sandwiches, desserts, tea or coffee, and a blue and white cake.

child-related food insecurity occurred at Zion United Church on Oct. 6, 1992. The group was originally called Hunger in Our Town, but in 1993, it became incorporated as Hunger in Moose Jaw (HiMJ).

The organization launched the Child Nutrition Program that June, with volunteers making lunches at Empire School and St. Andrew’s United Church.

Hunger in Moose Jaw purchased the Orange Hall on 269 Stadacona Street West in 1995 as its new home, while it started the Headstart Community Preschool that year. It began the Junior Chefs program in 1999, the Good Food Box program in 2000 and took ownership of Yara Community Gardens in 2005.

The organization initially began making 60 lunches a week for children, but three decades later, it now makes 400 lunches a day for elementary and high school students.

This birthday is a “huge milestone” and is important to acknowledge, said Sharla Sept, who has been executive director for six years.

“In one way, we’re happy to be pro-

viding the service, but in another way, it’s sad to see that the numbers have gone up (over the years),” she continued.

HiMJ saw a huge jump in children needing support in September 2022, she noted. Some reasons for that include higher food prices, a poorer economy and more families struggling.

The organization has great corporate sponsors and community support, which is how it continues to meet the needs of hungry children, said Sept. While it receives some government funding, most of its revenue is generated through the “I Bought a Lunch” campaign.

HiMJ has 13 employees and many volunteers who make the lunches, deliver them and pack the food boxes, she continued. A group of women starts making

a.m. The lunches are then shipped out around 10:45 a.m.

The organization wouldn’t function without its dedicated staff, board members, and community support, Sept added. Meanwhile, HiMJ is a grassroots group that enjoys what it does.

Karen Langton has worked with HiMJ since 1998 as a preschool teacher. She loves the job since it’s the best one she’s ever had.

“Every job here is close to my heart. It’s such a wonderful place,” she said. “I love the kids and watching their faces light up as they learn.”

Attending the anniversary celebration was Carol Acton. She began working for HiMJ in 1999 as a preschool teacher before becoming executive director in 2005;

she retired in 2017. She always thought making a small difference in people’s lives was a privilege.

“I … just absolutely loved this place and the people that I worked with,” she said.

With a laugh, Acton said she spent and programming. There were days when staff worried about whether the organization would continue to exist. However, the community was very supportive, while board members helped the organization grow.

“We’ve always had a strong board that is really involved and really interested in what we do. And that continues as well,” Acton remarked.

Action remembers when HiMJ began making 100 lunches a day from 60 a week — “Holy doodle!” she exclaimed — and thought they couldn’t handle it. Those numbers then grew to 300 lunches a day.

While numbers increased, the quality of the lunches also improved. Initially, children received half a sandwich, a halfpiece of fruit and sometimes a treat. Now they receive a full sandwich, fruit or veggies, milk and other nutritious items.

“This is an amazing place. And the work they do makes this community better,” Action added. “I’m just so proud to have been a part of it.”

Graduates from Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s civil engineering technologies program in Moose Jaw are playing a critical role in supporting the modernization project of the Buffalo Pound Water Treatment Plant (BPWTP).

The plant kicked off construction last June on its three-year, $325.6 million infrastructure renewal initiative, ensuring it continues providing potable water to more than 260,000 area residents for another 30 years.

Construction consortium Graham-Aecon Joint Venture, the third-largest construction company in Canada and Western Canada’s largest industrial services company, is managing the project. Not only does it have experience, but it also has employees with connections to Sask. Polytech, according to the educational institution’s website.

Jeremy Klarenbach, who graduated from the civil engineering technologies program in 2002, is Graham Construction’s vice-president of water-related projcompany from the program.

“Prior to that, Graham didn’t have a lot of employees from Sask. Polytech’s (at the time SIAST’s) civil engineering technologies program. Over the past 20 years, that’s changed,” he said.

“We’ve been able to employ a lot of Sask. Polytech students and graduates in more recent years. Civil engineering technology graduates have a great skillset to help us deliver on our projects, and they complement our other staff, including engineers.”

Another alumnus working on site is Leighton Ward, who graduated in 2017 and started as the project co-ordinator before becoming project manager.

“Grads from Sask. Polytech aren’t at a disadvantage to engineering undergraduates. The skills taught at Sask. Polytech are more than enough to kick-start your career, and you see people advancing with an engineering technologist designation,” Ward said.

“It’s nice to see people with my background moving up and taking on high-level leadership roles within the company.”

Perceptions about construction within engineering technology have also changed because when Ward was a student, instructors pushed students to become consultants since there was limited information and exposure to construction, he said. That mentality has changed because there’s more awareness and options for graduates to start their careers there.

Lauren Dreger, a 2018 civil engineering technologies graduate and project co-ordinator, also hit the ground running after graduation.

“Our program was really hands-on, which I liked, and because we did co-operative education work terms, I had experience working for a real company (for a few years before moving to Graham Construction two years ago),” she said.

As project co-ordinator, Dreger implements project designs and schedules and manages sub-trades.

“This project has quite a few Sask. Polytech-trained employees, including other civil engineering technologists, carpenters, electricians and grads from the bachelor of construction management program,” she continued.

“The scope of Graham’s work at Buffalo Pound includes demolition, earthworks, structural fabrication, electrical and instrumentation work, and the construction of concrete foundations and commercial buildings. There’s a lot going on here, and we need well-trained people to make it all happen.”

Graham Construction has strongly supported Sask. Polytech by attending and sponsoring events such as annual career fairs, the Knowledge and Networking Opportunities for the Workplace (KNOW) conference and this year’s THINK: The Future of Work, Technology and Learning conference, the school said.

“The economy here in Saskatchewan has been bullish for over the past decade,” said Klarenbach. “We want to attract the talent we need to keep growing as a company. Partnering with Sask. Polytech on events and initiatives allows us to connect with students who are well-trained and ready to begin their careers.

“It’s a great opportunity for us and also a way to give back to the community.”

The Buffalo Pound project will greatly affect the area since changes to the treatment process will address algae growth concerns, said Ward. This will enable the plant to control taste and odour throughout the year and continue providing potable water for decades.

Career fair lets PSSD students learn about province’s many industries

From welding to nursing to hairstyling to electronics to agriculture, Saskatchewan is a province with hundreds of employmentple into the fold.

More than 600 high school students from Prairie South School Division (PSSD) visited the Moose Jaw Exhibition Grounds’ convention centre on May 3 as part of the division’s Try-A-Career Expo. Students checked out booths to learn more hands-on with equipment or technology.

“We have about 73 (vendors) in total. So a pretty good mix of trades and health care and insurance (and) military (and) all kinds of people,” said Jeff Feeley, a PSSD career counsellor and event organizer.

“So we try to make a fairly wide variety as much as we can, but knowing that a lot of things are limited by the hands-on aspect,” he continued. “So you can’t do hands-on for a history degree or something like that.”

“The goal behind this is just to understand how the robots work, and then you can modify and change them however you want … to solve whatever problem you need,” he said, pointing out grabbing clamps can be attached and the vehicles can be trained via code to distinguish an object and pick it up.

Courses featuring technology are a “huge” drawing feature for students, especially with where the world is going today, said Chelsey Kostal, student recruitment advisor. Meanwhile, the educational institution has a long waitlist for other programs, such as nursing, dental, health sciences, and engineering.

Catholic teachers to receive training to better support students’ mental health

With one in four Canadian youths experiencing a mental illness, nearly two dozen Catholic division employees plan to receive training to better support the psychological needs of their students.

Twenty-one teachers and support staff with Holy Trinity Catholic School Division are participating in a Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course on May 5 and 11

Debbie MacDonald, a registered psychologist with Aspire Wellness, is leading the event. She led many MHFA courses during her 31 years with the division; she retired recently.

change at any moment,” she said. The 14-hour course will help staff:

· Recognize the symptoms of mental health problems or crises in youths, including eating disorders and non-suicidal self-injury

· Provide initial help when faced with a mental health problem or crisis

· Guide youths and/or adults who support them toward appropriate professional help

· Learn how to accommodate young people in distress or recovering from a crisis

Notice is hereby given under The Tax Enforcement Act that unless the arrears and costs appearing opposite the land and title number described in the following list are fully paid before the 10th day of July 2023, an interest based on a tax lien will be registered against the land.

Note: A sum for costs in an amount required by subsection 4(3) of The Tax Enforcement Act is included in the amount shown against each parcel.

The topics focus on disorders, such as substance use, mood, anxiety and trauma, psychotic episodes, eating and deliberate self-injury. Staff will also learn how to intervene with suicidal behaviour, overdosing, self-harm, psychosis, acute-stress reactions and panic attacks.

The MHFA course is a program of the Mental Health Commission of Canada; more than 200,000 people have been trained in MHFA.

Holy Trinity was already focused on improving the mental health of staff and students before the pandemic, but there has been an increased demand for services because family stresses have trickled down to children, MacDonald said. Some of the main issues affecting kids include anxiety, depression and suicide.

“Have we noticed an increase in school? Absolutely, (especially) in anxiety,” she stated.

This “anxiety” is not the clinical kind but is actually stress and how well youths handle it, MacDonald continued. While the pandemic has contributed to this stress, it has not been the main driver.

our families are under (is a bigger stressor). There’s no time to sit down and have Sunday supper together. Everybody’s going in different directions,” she said.

“The amount of activities our kids are also engaged in is also a stress. Kids talk to me about that in individual counselling a lot. (Also), the stress of having to be perfect in their mind.”

Students are still mentally resilient, but the stresses facing them now are dif-

ferent from 10 years ago, said MacDonald. Social media places a big demand on them, one they can never shut off. They are constantly observed and face pressure to conform.

MacDonald received her MHFA training four years ago. While there was a lull in face-to-face interactions during the pandemic, she noted that the return of in-person courses allows for better discussions.

While a group can be eight to 24 people, she has found that 15 to 16 people enables people to share their experiences comfortably. The group registered for this course is the largest she’s ever led.

MacDonald hopes to give staff the they don’t think it’s only psychologists or them about a self-harm incident, the staff member can direct that student in the right direction for professional support.

“We can’t be experts in other people’s lives. And that’s why it’s so important just to listen, be non-judgmental, (and) give them ideas of supports,” said MacDonald. “And even just being open to have that conversation when they’re ready … .”

Moose Jaw’s Journey to Hope produced a booklet called “Getting Well for Mental Wellness 2.0,” which contains a list of 21 resources that youths and adults can access. MacDonald believes this booklet has been a great resource to address anxiety and stress.

Taboo 10 Facts [You Can’t Talk About]

Wilfred Reilly

Regnery Publishing, 230 pages

Do you have a right to be offended by facts? Countrywide, speakers are cancelled (some even losing their jobs) not just for holding unpopular opinions (which is bad enough by itself) but because they proclaim facts deemed offensive by their listeners.

Much of this behavior is inspired by so-called Critical Theory, and Critical Race Theory in particular. Information such as that found in Reilley’s data-driven book is not even mentioned, not even in passing, in most mainstream media, therefore his book should be most welcome for anyone seeking a sober look at the present sociopolitical situation and the myths surrounding it.

As far as I could ascertain his information is correct, with one exception: he writes that “hundreds” of children were involved in the Eyferth study, but to the best of my knowledge only 181 children were involved.

A thorough discussion of all chapters will result in too lengthy a review, so I will limit myself to remarks on just a few chapters.

Chapter one: The Police Aren’t Murdering Black People.

Thanks to BLM, the New Black Panthers, Antifa and many mainstream media, many Americans are under the impression that hundreds and even thousands of Afro-Americans are killed annually by police. The BLM

activist Cherno Biko, eg, has stated that an Afro-American is “murdered” by police every 28 hours.

It is of course true that on average 22-24% of people fatally shot by police are black, while they constitute only 13% of the American population, but bearing in mind that the crime rate among Afro-Americans is about 2.5 times higher that the rest of the population, the situation becomes self-explanatory.

The so-called Implicit Bias Test, and/or Implicit Association Test are often used to show that whites, and thus more likely to shoot black Americans. This test is a separate subject which I won’t discuss here, bar mentioning that a study by Washington Sate University has shown that, in hyper-realistic video simulations, police were less likely to shoot unarmed black Americans than white Americans.

The analysis by Reilly and others paint a different picture than the one so often encounters. In 2015, a representative year, about 1200 people were fatally shot by American police, 258 were black, only seventeen were unarmed. The numbers for the other years differ very little.

The Afro-American researcher Roland Fryer, one of the few scholars who statistically compensated for the relevant variables, found that the probability of a black American being shot by police was about 27% less than for a white compatriot. In fact, about 76% of Americans shot by police are white or latino and not black.

Chapter 2: There is no “War on POC.”

Violent crimes between ethnic groups are not common and when they occur then it is more likely to be black on white than vice versa. This is very often not the picture painted in many media. Reilly discusses the phenomenon in another book (which I have not read) and comes to the conclusion that 30-50% of such so-called hate crimes are hoaxes. (Jussie Smollett comes to mind).

This kind of reportage is the cause of a growing and Between 2000 and 2011 the use of the word “racism” in publications such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and Washington Post increased between 700%

and 1 000%. Chapter 3: Different Groups Perform Differently.

I found this the most interesting chapter. That the various ethnic groups in the USA perform at different levels is old news – who doesn’t know about the Bell Curve? The claims in that book, (the 15-point difference between IQ scores for black and white Americans) is old news and has since been countered many times.

It is of course theoretically possible that IQ’s of different groups may differ slightly, but I don’t think that Reilly’s analysis is one of the best I have read for a long time.

In summary, we can say that one of the greatest contributing factors to the relatively poor scholastic performance of Afro-Americans in comparison to their white counterparts is the incidence of poverty-stricken single-parent families in that demographic.

This phenomenon is of course not limited to black families, and when this is statistically controlled for, the difference between black and white Americans disappears.

“Blacks, too, experienced a surge in IQ scores following the civil rights movement. While the Black IQ was pegged at 78 by Arthur Jensen in the 1970s and has often been given as “80-85” in the years since, these low scores appear not to have been the actual norm for at least a decade.”

“Data… show that there is no longer any test score gap between white and multiracial high school students in reading and reading analysis, in fact, multiracial students outperform other groups.”

Chapter 4: Performance – not prejudice – predicts success.

“…not only do group differences have very little to to do with group success than bigotry does.”

What Reilly calls “cultural performance differences” explains the different outcomes between ethnic groups, but this is frequently ascribed to racism or white privilege. This is wrong. Techniques such as linear and logistic regression can compensate for differences in behavior and the large gaps between ethnic groups disappear.

Chapters 5-10 discuss racism as a leading cause of present problems, racism itself, so-called white privilege and cultural appropriation, a sane immigration policy and the alt-right.

This book is an excellent, objective introduction to these controversial topics.

Local genealogy club helps Swedish journalist with century-old murder case

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Genealogy Society has helped a Swedish journalist potentially solve a century-old mystery about a Swedish man who was found dead here in a rooming house.

Journalist Mikael Jagerbrand was looking for information about Oskar Rosengren, who was initially thought to have died in Sweden in 1920 after authorities discovered a body in an abandoned mine. Rosengren had supposedly lived in the United States for several years before allegedly returning to the Nordic country and disappearing.

Over several weeks, police searched for a suspect who had been seen with Rosengren, but they soon discovered that the “victim” was alive and living in Canada. Instead, the dead man was another Swede who had lived in the U.S. and later returned.

Swedish cops caught the actual killer — Bengt Valfrid Krokström — and sentenced him to prison.

Jagerbrand sent a letter to the editor to the Moose Jaw Express in early April, wanting more information about Rosengren since he had found a newspaper article from Jan. 2, 1924, indicating the man had allegedly taken his own life by supposedly drinking poison.

Seeing the inquiry prompted members of the Moose Jaw Genealogy Society to dig through online newspaper clippings searching for Rosengren. They were successful after coming across an article from the Nov. 9, 1923 edition of the Regina

Leader-Post. They then emailed a copy to the Swedish journalist.

“He was so happy to get this,” society president Marge Cleave said recently. “He wanted proof — and now he has it.”

Jagerbrand told the Express in an email that he intends to include information about Rosengren in a true crime e-book he plans to write about the murder in Sweden. He is the editor of a series of true crime e-books entitled Publishing House Classic Whodunits.

“Second Sudden Death Occurs During Week” was the headline of the Leader-Post article, while the sub-head said, “Oscar Rosengren Dies in York Rooms, Strychnine Labelled Bottle is Found.”

Police recorded Rosengren’s death in the early morning hours of Nov. 8, 1923, while they found a bottle of Strychnine under his bed, the article said. A Dr. Wardell was expected to conduct the post-mortem, although coroner Dr. J. M. Hourigan had not decided whether to hold an inquest.

At 11:55 p.m. on Nov. 7, York Rooms called police Sgt. Knutton saying there was a man who was seriously ill. The sergeant dispatched Const. Knight to the rooming house, where he found Rosengren in sesummoned Dr. Betzner, but before he arrived, Rosengren died.

Dr. Hourigan was called to the rooming house, where he viewed the body and ordered it be taken to Broadfoot’s Funeral Home.

The Leader-Post reported that Rosengren had booked his room at 1 p.m. on Nov. 7 and then left. He returned around 9 p.m., “apparently in good health and sober.” He grabbed the key to his room and went upstairs.

About three hours later, Perry Shoemaker, another occupant, told the front desk that someone was ill in room 9, which Rosengren occupied, the article said. House employees visited the room, where they found Rosengren lying on the

“The police were informed, but the man died before anything could be done for him,” the article continued.

Police found $25 in cash and other personal effects on the body, as well as a railway ticket to Stockholm, Sask. Papers in Rosengren’s possession showed he was born in 1886, while a tattoo on his left forearm bore his initials and birth date.

Columbia was also found, the article added, and was made out to an “Oscar Ross.”

Local historian’s writing legacy continued inbook of her columns

Ron Walter - For Moose Jaw Express

The work of local historian and newspaper columnist Leith Knight will live on with the publication of a book compiling some of her extensive writing.

Larry Hellings and his son Scott selected more than 100 of her columns and published them in a book titled “A Knight to Remember.”

“We have always been interested in local history and thought somebody should do something with her columns,” said Scott, a former reporter with Moose Jaw Express and a Moose Jaw Times-Herald reporter.

Knight wrote more than 2,000 columns covering a broad range of subjects from 1953 until she quit some 50 years later.

“She really started writing (weekly) in the 1960s.” She started the Moose Jaw Public Library Archives in the 1960s.

On retiring in 1983, she continued the weekly columns in the newspaper.

“Some of them were very long, continued to the next week.”

“Leith was amazing,” he said. “A lot of people don’t know about the history of Moose Jaw. We wanted to revive her columns for them.”

Compiling the book took a lot of work. “The Public Library Archives that Leith founded has a collection called the Leith Knight Fonds.”

They chose columns they thought were of particular interest for the six themed sections of the book. “We thought this one might be good for transportation, this one for crime and punishment.”

The archives collection has newspaper clippings of her columns and some of her research papers and original notes. “They were very interesting.”

Once the columns were assembled they had to be typed for publication — a task her friend Hilda Davies performed,

Leith.”

A second set was launched at the Cosmo Senior Centre spring trade show.

Post Horizon has agreed to carry the book.

“We have enough columns for a second book,” said Scott. Knight also wrote a history of Moose Jaw, All The Moose All the Jaw in 1982 for the city’s 75th anniversary and wrote Birds of the Moose Jaw Area in 1967.

Her archives were described by famous Canadian author Pierre Berton, author of histories of the CPR, as the best archives in a small Canadian city.

The Hellings noted some of her words may seem archaic in today’s context but chose not to alter her phrases that once were in common use.

and environmentalists.

Operating in mining friendly Brazil, Sigma has been developing the deposit for six years with three years of a demonstration plant.

During that time, Sigma discovered the lithium produced has 33 per cent more productivity than other lithium.

The Sigma mine is an environmental dream. No hazardous chemicals are used. All water is recycled. Green hydropower runs the mine and plant.

The tailings contain feldspars and some lithium and

tonnes of battery grade lithium. To cash in on the current high lithium pricers before new production increases supplies, Sigma plans a tripling of production over the next two years.

All that is needed is two train lines to the mine from the processing plant at a cost of $100 million. Financing expansion should not be a concern. Sigma

The expansion will take that to $2.8 billion free cash

gin after taxes— an almost unheard of margin. Thus Sigma can withstand large drops in the price and be viable.

The company is well supported by the Black Rock, fund.

The fund will one day sell its interest in Sigma.

Plans for cash include development of value-added lithium carbonate and/or lithium hydroxide processing and further eventual mine expansion.

Sigma will be the world’s fourth largest lithium producer after the expansion.

The shares trade at $47.74 with a low this year of $16.61and a high of $54.73.

The main downside in Sigma stock would be a sudden precipitous decline in lithium prices if the EV market turns south.

an prices are easily swayed by what is sold in that time frame,” the SRA explained. “As a benchmark price is based on a typical home, price changes more accurately represent true price changes in the market as it is an apples-to-apples comparison.”

The one bright spot was months of supply, which stood at 3.83 months in April. This was an increase from 1.77 months of supply — a jump of 54 per cent — yearover-year.

The report indicated that the 10-year average for April shows there are usually 51 homes sold, 121 new listings, 283 units in inventory, 6.25 months of supply, 57 days of homes on the market, a benchmark price of $228,210 and an average price of $250,535.

The 10-year year-to-date average shows there are typically 147 homes sold, 350 new listings, 240 units in inventory, 6.90 months of supply, 65 days of homes on the market, a benchmark price of $223,588 and an average price of $238,678.

Provincial outlook

Saskatchewan reported 1,216 sales in April, down

21 per cent year-over-year and slightly below long-term 10-year averages, the SRA said. Aligning with seasonal trends, sales and new listings trended up above levels seen earlier this year.

Although inventory levels experienced a four-percent year-over-year decline and remained over 30 per cent below 10-year trends, the adjustments in sales and new listings have resulted in the months of supply rising

“Our market continues to struggle with supply and has since the start of the pandemic,” said CEO Chris Guérette. “While inventory challenges remain a concern for us, recent trends are pointing to potential supply relief. Should these trends persist, we may see more balanced conditions play out in the market in the second half of the year.”

The provincial benchmark price reached $323,600 in April, up from $321,400 in March and slightly below prices recorded last April.

balanced conditions, it’s important to keep in mind that there is variation depending on location and price range,” said Guérette.

“Conditions remain exceptionally tight in lower-priced products, while more balanced conditions exist in higher price ranges, she added. “Higher lending rates have driven more purchasers to seek out lower priced op-owners to move up in the market.”

It is believed that all of the break and enters are related and were committed by one male suspect. Items stolen include groceries, alcohol and several sets of vehicle keys. The male suspect entered residences through unlocked doors and windows, and used a crowbar to gain entry in some instances.

During one of the break and enters on the morning of April 30, the male suspect entered a residence and stole keys to a 2020 Ford Expedition, and then used the keys to steal the vehicle. The vehicle has been tracked and located in Moose Jaw. It is believed the suspect is currently out of the area.

The RCMP is requesting the public to check their properties in the area and any security video they may have to assist RCMP in identifying the suspect. The RCMP is also requesting anyone with information about these incidents to contact the detachment by calling 306696-5200.

Mother’s Day

A very special day falls on the second Sunday of May. This day is a celebration that honours the mother of the family as well as honouring maternal bonds and the indates back centuries to the spring celebrations in ancient Greece in honour of Rhea, the Mother of the Gods.

Moving through the centuries, our modern day of honouring motherhood was the result of the efforts of Anna Jarvis, daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis. During her mother’s life, she frequently expressed a desire for the establishment of a holiday that honoured mothers. Following her mother’s death in 1905, Anna led the movement that led to the commemoration of Mother’s Day.

There are advantages to having Mother’s Day in May – especially if the lady in question is a gardener. When I was growing up, our favourite gifts were those that not only helped make our garden a more beautiful place, but a happy mom who had a lovely addition that necessitated her puttering in the garden.

In spring, there are endless choices of colourful plants to purchase. If you are looking for annuals as a special gift, then by all means buy them anywhere. For

herbaceous or woody perennials, it is better to make a careful choice on where you shop. Living in Saskatchewan, means that we are subjecting plants that rest over the winter to very extreme conditions. Many of the plants that are for sale are just not hardy here so spend your dollars wisely. If you shop at big box stores and want your purchase to last for years, it is important to know the source of the plant you are buying. Reading the label is not always helpful as they often don’t give you the information you need. If you are unsure – then spend a few more dollars at a local garden centre as you are more likely to have more survival success.

Let’s use roses as an example. Due to advances in breeding and selection we have a lot of shrub roses that come in many colours and sizes that have a long season of bloom, a variety of scents and the ability to survive our winters on the prairies with no extra effort on behalf of the gardener. On the other hand, the tender tea roses are not able to reliably survive our winters even with great effort on protecting them from our severe winter temperatures. This time of year is extra special to me as not only did we celebrate Mother’s Day in May but also my dear Mom’s birthday. Over the years, as children we bought many tea roses for mother’s day only to have to replace it the following year. The only upside is we could always buy mom more roses!

Floral shops are always busy for this special day as have a short shelf life but so do many of the potted plants that we love to give as gifts. However, as long as you get them in good condition they are lovely to enjoy for even a short period of time.

These are bulbs that will not survive our winters but can of my favourites are oriental lilies, acidanthera and of course the canna and calla lilies. If you wish to get more seasons of bloom, then you can lift them in the fall and store them at the appropriate temperature over the winter in a root cellar, cold room or refrigerator.

Hope you have a lovely spring that is full of colour!

A Mother’s Legacy

I was driving to a birthday party for my 11 year old daughter’s friend. We were already about 10 minutes late (typical) and I was desperately trying to keep my composure while whispering sweet dammits under my breath. I knew what was coming. And then... there it was.... “Mom? You’re lost, aren’t you?” Followed by the 5 year old shaming me from her car seat with her verbal jabs, yelling “Mom! You get lost ALLLLLLL the time!” Sadly, she was an accurate tiny critic. “This is the legacy I am leaving my kids”, I thought. At my funeral, they will recall how geographically challenged I was. The crowd will roar in agreeable laughter at how 100% true it is. But in this moment, where I was once again angry with myself for taking a wrong turn even when my friendly navigation lady gave me proper instruction, I owned it. I laughed, I sighed, I made a u-turn and looked at the girls through my mirror and said “Yes, I am

My tiny critic continued her banter, while the oldest was in NO mood for jokes.

That got me thinking. Aside from the fact that my directionally challenged character will undoubtedly be talked about for years past my last days, I wonder what legacy I will leave with my children.

I consistently have “WWMD” moments - wondering how my mom would have reacted, what words she would use to comfort, encourage or motivate me. More and more, to be more like my mother’s. Her gentleness and grace is something to be honored and her steadfast, unwavering faith has taught me to lean on Him for all things. Whether she knows this or not, she runs through my mind daily as the voice in my head and heart telling me I am a gift and am doing this adult thing alright.

(PS: I love you mom)

I want my circle to say I was their champion. Their cheerleader and support system. That I had their best interest in mind at all times. And I was honest. Oh man, I want them to believe I was honest. And genuine. I want them to on me was reciprocated. But in the same way, I hope this rings true for my children. A stem of me IS my children. They are my physical legacy. What I teach them each day is an extension of how I want to carry on my legacy, and in all honesty - it sometimes feels overwhelmingly heavy. Making each of my words and actions that much more crustatus, body shape and appearance or education, than it is my responsibility to exude the same. The gifts God gave with purpose.

I began asking a few of my mama friends if they had ever thought about what their legacy may be or what they’d like it to be. What I received in return from these INCRED-ery determination to raise up the strongest, brightest, most loving humans this world will ever experience. With each message, there was a common thread of LOVE. Deep, rich, unshakable LOVE. And with each message I read, my eyessire to cheer on these mothers! Because their words are so precious and encouraging, I needed to share them with the world.

Our children watch us and listen to our words, even

when we don’t think they are. They study our actions and observe our choices and try to reason with our more than occasional “no”. Through their eyes, we are building our legacy each and every day. Of course we want the best this world can provide for our children, and to teach them how to be (insert all of the buzz words on how to be a good human) humans. The amazing thing is... we 100% own this opportunity to build, to teach, to strengthen, support, encourage, and provide. Which also means we own the responsibility to lead by example so our legacy can be put to life.

Our legacy will be apparent long after we’re gone, when our children are grown. It will be seen in their relationships, their work, and their faith. Do I have a lot of work to do to ensure I leave this legacy for my children? You bet I do! I will not leave this earth solely known for being the woman who was late and lost everywhere she went. I look at my daughter’s every day and think “am I doing this right?” But in the small moments when they make a good choice, realize consequences, help someone who is hurt, ask God for forgiveness or pray out loud for his help....or simply say “I love you”, I know that I am, in fact, doing it right.

To all my mama’s, if you need to hear it today, YOU. ARE. AN. AMAZING. MOTHER. Whatever your legacy is that you leave, it will be an extension of who you are and will be seen in your children. It will be remarkable and will serve a special place on this earth.

After solid season, Warriors’ Ripplinger hopes to see team take next step in 2023-24

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Warriors will be heading into the 2023-24 Western Hockey League campaign as a team with all sorts of potential.

With a core of incredibly talented veterans joining a group of up-and-coming youngsters, there’s a good chance it could be another stellar season for the local club as they look to build on their 41-win campaign this past season.

But for all the potential, there are an equal number of question marks, and Warriors general manager Jason Ripplinger he can when the team returns to the ice this fall.

“As a manager, I’m looking for more positives than negatives, and going into next season with (Denton) Mateychuk, (Brayden) Yager, (Jagger) Firkus and (Atley) Calvert, those guys are right there,” Ripplinger said. “Obviously we have some decisions to make on the 20-yearolds, but that core group coming back is exciting for us. I’m not putting too high of expectations, though, because you want to make sure we’re getting guys back. Sometimes they don’t come back, for whatever reason, and you don’t want to get too far ahead of yourself. So we’ll get into training camp and see who’s coming back and see some younger guys take the next step as well.”

The biggest decisions will surround the team’s aforementioned overage situation. A total of six players will be heading into their 20-year-old season, including forwards Atley Calvert, Eric Alarie, Riley Niven and Josh Hoekstra along with defencemen Max Wanner and Lucas Brenton. Only three can be kept, meaning the team will have to say goodbye to at least three players who have been with the Warriors for three or four seasons.

“When you have a lot of 19-year-olds, that’s how it is,” Ripplinger said. “The 19s we had played hard for us and were important to the team, and those are always

hard decisions.”

Of course, how things shake out that way will depend on what happens with professional opportunities. Wanner is signed by the Edmonton Oilers and will likely end up playing professionally to start the season, and Calvert could very well get another pro look after putting up a 40-goal campaign.

As a result, there will be a bit of waitand-see before things shake out, and that’s if Ripplinger doesn’t solve the situation with trades in the off-season.

“I want to give everybody an opportunity to plead their case, we all know what they can do, it’s just whether or not younger guys have stepped up into that position or something like that,” Ripplinger said.

That’s always a huge question mark every season -- who will take the jump in their game?

“I’m expecting good things from guys like Lynden Lakovic and Marek Howell, they’re two young ‘06 high picks that we’ll be expecting a lot from,” Ripplinger said. “Then Ben Riche scored a lot of goals in his minor hockey days, so if those guys can take the next step it’ll make our team better. Players at this age can develop a lot over a single summer, so we’ll see what happens.”

One thing fans can expect to be different this off-season is the goaltending situation. The past two seasons saw the Warriors trade for overager netminders, with Carl Tetachuk and Connor Ungar

each going on to stake a claim as the best goaltender in the league.

As of right now, though, the crease belongs to 18-year-old goaltender Jackson Unger, and it’s just a matter of what the team does around him.

“It’s time for Jackson to take the next step, and whether or not he’ll be the starter is kind of up to him,” Ripplinger said.

“Whether we go out and get another goaltender so we have an older tandem or go with an 18-year-old and 17-year-old, that’s a lot of things we can think about over the summer. And I don’t want to miss out on anything, either, so I’ll be proactive to see what’s out on the market.”

The next major event for the Warriors is the WHL Prospects Draft on Thursday, May 11, with Ripplinger looking to make a splash early given the team’s lack of lateround picks.

“I think it’s a depth draft and we’re picking 16th overall so we might not get the really high-end skill guy but I believe there are some good players out there at that spot,” Ripplinger said. “The goal is always to go off your list and take the next player that’s on your board. We have picks have to be bang-on with those picks since now. So we’ll need to make sure we get solid players with the picks we have.”

The Prospects Draft is followed by National Hockey League Entry Draft on Tuesday, June 27 and Wednesday, June 28 pick and Unger a potential late-round selection -- after which the Canadian Hockey League Import Draft will take place Wednesday, July 5.

Then it’s into the fall and the 2023-24 campaign proper.

“Right now, the goal is to make the playoffs like it always is, and if we can make a push, we’ll do what we can to make that push,” Ripplinger said.

Warriors to select 48th and 108th in Canadian Hockey League Import Draft

Team looking to make a pair of picks to replace overagers Rysavy and Baco in annual selection of non-North American talent.

Moose Jaw Warriors general manager Jason Ripplinger is going diamond hunting.

With the Western Hockey League club having landed the 48th and 108th overall picks in the Canadian Hockey League Iman impact can be a bit of a process.

And selecting that late means you’re almost certainly looking for a diamond in the rough.

But the Warriors have had successcently, and Ripplinger will be looking for the same when the Draft takes place on Wednesday, July 5.

“At this point, I’m just talking to some come to the Western Hockey League and play,” Ripplinger said. “I haven’t really narrowed it down to what positions we’re going to look at, but we’ll be looking to get the best player available when it’s our turn to pick.”

One thing that’s for certain is the Warriors will be using both their selections after sitting out completely in 2022. Both Czech forward Martin Rysavy and Slovakian forward Robert Baco are overagers in the 2023-24 campaign and will be moving on to play professionally.

“They’re both ready for pro, they

were both good soldiers for us and good people, but it’s time for them to move on to the next level,” Ripplinger said.

Rysavy played 92 games for the Warriors over two seasons and put up 19 goals and 59 points, while Baco suited up in 117 games and had 21 goals and 48 points to go along with 148 penalty minutes.

It’s that latter category that has Rip48th pick. Baco was taken by the Warriors at 50th overall in the 2021 Import Draft and brought a hard-nosed physical presence to the team that earned him the nickname ‘Bobzilla’ and made him a bit of a fan favourite.

“He was a different European than most people are used to seeing and did what we needed him to do,” Ripplniger

the Draft.”

The key is relying on your scouting system and especially on player agents, who play a large role in bringing players over to play in North America.

“It all depends on your connections with agents, it’s kind of an agent-driven draft so you have to trust the guys and believe in what they see and what they’re giving you,” Ripplinger explained. “You can watch them on video as well, and

while it’s better to see them live, we don’t have the resources to do that.”

The 48th overall pick unfortunately hasn’t panned out all that often -- players generally fall into a sub-point-a-game category with rare exceptions. QMJHL Baie-Comeau found a bit of a hit with Russian forward Denis Gorbunov, who put up 21 goals and 51 points in 61 games during the 2013-14 season.

There’s also the chance of landing an NHL-drafted player who might not be convinced about coming over to play in North America. That was the case with Finnish goaltender Leevi Merilainen, who was drafted by the Ottawa Senators in 2020, selected by OHL Kingston in 2021 and played that season with the Frontenacs in addition to representing Finland at the World Juniors.

Regardless of how things shake out, Ripplniger will be looking for someone who can produce immediately upon taking the ice with the Warriors.

“When you’re drafting Euros, you’re not really looking for someone who is going to be a third-line grinder, that’s not what you really want, you want them to be as high-end skilled as possible. If you’re looking for grinders and hard-working

Yager wins Brad Hornung Memorial Trophy as WHL’s Most Sportsmanlike Player

Honour comes after picking up only 14 penalty minutes through season

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw Warriors forward Brayden Yager is aware of the fact that if you want to put up points in the Western Hockey League, it’s not a bad idea to stay out of the penalty box.

Do that, and play the game the right way each and every night, and the league itself will take notice.

That the WHL did throughout the 2022-23 campaign, and on Thursday afternoon, Yager picked up the second league award of his career.

The 18-year-old forward was named the Brad Hornung Memorial Trophy winner as the WHL’s Most Sportsmanlike Player, with the honour voted on by general managers and members of the media.

“Brad Hornung will always be remembered as an ambassador for the WHL, for sportsmanship, for positivity regardless of the circumstances,” Yager told whl. ca. “I thank my family for raising me to play the right way, to compete my hardest between the whistles, but to make sure I

treat my opponents with respect.”

Yager put up 28 goals and a career-high 78 points with only 14 penalty

minutes in 67 games in his second full season in the WHL.

“I want to express my appreciation for my entire team’s support in my attempts to have a positive impact in the outcome of our games,” Yager said. “I am honoured to be acknowledged for my efforts to contribute to my team’s success while playing with discipline and self-control.”

The honour is the second league award for Yager, after he won the Jim Piggott Memorial Trophy as the WHL Rookie of the Year in the 2021-22 campaign.

The Warriors have history with players winning most sportsmanlike honours, in the team’s history -- Justin Almeida (2019-19), Jason Bast (2009-10), Blair Atcheynum (1988-89) and Darren Boyko (Winnipeg Warriors, 1982-83) having won previously.

Almeida and Bast also won the Canadian Hockey League Most Sportsmanlike award.

Also nominated were Kamloops’ Caedan Bankier for the B.C. Division, Medicine Hat’s Andrew Basha for the Central Division and Portland’s Gabe Klassen for the U.S. Division.

A former Regina Pats standout, Hornung was renowned for his talent, desire and sportsmanlike attitude. He was paralyzed in an on-ice accident in 1987 but maintained a positive outlook and commitment to the game, eventually serving as an NHL scout. The trophy was dedicated to him in 2002 following his passing at age 52.

The off-season is only going to get more interesting for Yager in the coming selection in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft on June 28. Yager was ranked 11th among North American skaters in the Central pick.

Six weekend games result in four ties for Moose Jaw teams across all age divisions

In the end, it turned into another undefeated weekend for the Moose Jaw Mustangs in South Sask Lacrosse League action.

But it wasn’t exactly a complete success.

Moose Jaw teams tied four of their six games across all age divisions, and as a result, four of their SSLL crews remain the campaign.

The Under-11 Mustangs 2 took a 7-7 tie with Queen City and a 7-7 draw with Standing Buffalo in their two contests, while the U13s tied Swift Current 4-4 and took an 8-4 win over Moosomin. The U15s also tied the Rampage 4-4 to go along with a 10-4 victory over Queen City.

U11 Mustangs 2 7, QCMBL 7

Queen City got off to a great start and looked to have things in hand midway through the game, but that just led to a huge Moose Jaw comeback.

Trailing 5-1 with 13:03 to play in the second period, the Mustangs scored three straight goals to get back within one and then tied the game with 9:30 to play in the Regina would retake the lead three minutes later, but Bennett Dunlop would tie the game with 3:15 to play to secure the single point.

Joshua Arnold and Sterling Stewart each scored a pair of goals, while Axton Gebhart and Clark Alexander also hit the scoresheet.

Smith picked up a goal and two assists, with Chase Folk adding a pair of markers. Hayden Nidesh added a goal and two points.

As the score would indicate, the Mus-

tangs left little to chance in their second game of the weekend.

Hayden Nidesh also had a pair of markers, while Brett Bowerin, Kysen Mac Angus and Spencer Jameson also scored.

Moose Jaw and District Minor Girls Fastball sees record registration heading into new season

Total 376 players taking to diamonds this summer as sport continues

son is here and things are off and running.

Moose Jaw and District Minor Girls Fastball held their annual opening ceremony on Sunday morning, with players across all divisions gathering at Optimist Park for remarks from president Ryan Ward and the traditional season-opening

It didn’t take long for fans and participants to get an idea of how things are looking for the organization, either: when it takes nearly 10 minutes just to pipe the sign your registration numbers aren’t doing too bad.

All told, 376 players will take to the diamonds playing fastball this season, a new record after the heights of success they saw in 2022 -- and needless to say, one that has Ward looking forward to a great season.

“We’re probably a week behind because of the weather, but the diamonds look beautiful and having a record number of kids is great to see,” he said. “There’s lots available for these kids to do in every sport and they’re very busy, but we’re so glad they enjoy the sport of ball.

It’s nice to get going again and it’s go-

ing to be a fun season.”

The surge in fastball’s popularity can partially be attributed to the success teams have been seeing in recent years. Provincial championship contenders have become a regular for the Moose Jaw Ice representative teams, with the U17 AA Ice having won the Softball Sask title in 2023 in Ontario.

to see success

Weekends will also be plenty busy in June, with Ice tournaments taking centre stage-- the U15s play on the May 26-28 weekend, U11s on June 2-4, U13s on June 9-11 and U17s and 19s on June 16-18. The tournament schedule wraps up on the June 23 weekend with AA tournaments across all age groups.

Moose Jaw will also host the U15 AA provincial championship during the July 14 weekend at Optimist Park.

Younger players get a look at that kind of thing, and it’s only natural to want to be a part of it.

“I think they look up to these older girls and they see the success the older girls are having and it makes a difference having all these diamonds in one park, too,” Ward said. “So you could have the younger divisions playing at the same time as the older divisions, they can look up to the older players and see the fun they’re having, and that success breeds more success.”

It certainly doesn’t hurt to have a strong slate of coaches and managers throughout MJMGF, a group that does everything they can to make sure everyone has fun.

“A big part of it is the coaches and the work they put in and the type of atmosphere they create for these kids,” Ward said. “It’s a positive atmosphere, they get to learn the game and have fun and all the usual pieces of the puzzle that support it.”

The regular season began immediately after the opening ceremonies and will run until the end of June.

Even with some events more than a month away, teams have been lining up to sign on for the Moose Jaw tournaments, “People from out of town are seeing the success Moose Jaw is having, it shows in the tournaments and the turnout for our tournaments.” Ward said. “We have people from Alberta and Manitoba wanting to play in our tournaments, and it’s not only because of our league, it’s because of the city and the atmosphere we have here.”

Members of the provincial champion U17 AA Ice were on hand to deliver the opening pitch, with Katie Newberry doing the honours to catcher Makena Simmons as Jasmine Kohl and Cassia Montgomery looked on.

Moose Jaw 15U AAA Canucks win SPBL regular-season opener in extra inning

South East A’s score three in seventh to tie game, but Canucks go on to 4-3 victory at Blackwell Diamond Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

After putting together a commanding showing to win their lone exhibition game earlier in the week, the Moose Jaw 15U AAA Canucks found themselves in a far closer outing in their regular-season opener in the Sask Premier Baseball League on Sunday afternoon at Blackwell Diamond, eventually battling to a 4-3 extra-inning victory over the South East A’s.

Tyson Ross was the hero of the day for Moose Jaw, with his ground ball to short forcing an error that led to Kyren Ernest scoring from second with the game-winning run.

The fact the game needed to go to ex-

tras was the product of one area the Canucks will need to clean up. Leading 3-0 took advantage of a pair of errors -- two of six Moose Jaw defensive miscues on the day -- and would go on to score their three runs on a pair of walks and a single hit.

Up to that point, it had been a solid outing for the Canucks, in no small part due to their impressive pitching.

Spencer Craig got the start and was all but untouchable, holding the A’s scoreless through four innings while allowing only a pair of hits and three walks to go along with three strikeouts.

Ryan Gibbs came on in relief in the

fence showed what it can do in a 15-5 win over the Regina Wolfpack in a pre-season contest.

Skeoch allowed three runs, one earned, on three hits over the next two innings and Tonge closed things out with a scoreless seventh that included a pair of Ks.

All told, Moose Jaw pitchers struck out 15 hitters on the night.

The Canucks are back in action on Saturday, May 13 when they host the Saskatoon Astros for a doubleheader at Blackwell Diamond. Game times are 12 p.m. and 3 p.m.

Rylan Hicks might not have put a lot of distance on this ball, but it was still good enough for a base hit.

Ernest capped his day with a 2-for-4 performance that included a run scored and run batted in, while Ronan Tonge was 2-for-3 with a run scored.

Earlier in the week, the Canucks of-

Craig showed a great eye at the plate by going 1-for-1, drawing three walks, scoring a pair of runs and knocking in a pair. Luke Pratte, Ernest, Hicks and Brettin Hutchinson all scored a pair of runs each, while Gibbs, Kaison Skeoch, Marcus Capili and Russell MacDonald had a pair of RBI apiece. Capili was the only Moose Jaw player with more than a single hit on the night as he went 2-for-4.

CHILSON, SHIRLEY

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Shirley Constance Chilson aged 90 years of Moose Jaw, SK, on Saturday, April 29th, 2023.

Shirley was born in Moose Jaw, SK and spent her years growing up in Briercrest, Buttress and Archive Districts in Saskatchewan. She attended Red Lake School.

She was predeceased by her parents, Gladys and Stanley Robinson; brother, Donald and sister-in-law, Cathy Robinson; sisters, Dorothy Gunn and Merle Gough; husband, Gordon Chilson in 2007; special friend, Dona Brown in 2016; and son, Blaine Hutchinson in 2020. Shirley leaves behind her sister, Darlene Coburn of Winnipeg, MB; daughters: Deborah (Garry) Freeman and Peggy Hutchinson of Medicine Hat, AB, and Valerie (Allen) Gorin of Indian Head, SK; son, Kerry (Anita) Hutchinson; daughter-in-law, Lucy Winkler; grandchildren: Kimberley and Krista, Clint and Patti, Daniel, Nathan and Joshua, Kurtis, Kyle, Chery and Cody, and Brett and Adam; 22 great-grandchildren; numerous nieces and nephews; and her very special dog, Maggie.

Mom, or Nannie as her grandkids called her, always loved having family and friends over for gatherings, whether it was birthdays, barbeques, or just because.

there was never and end to the food! She loved to cook and always had enough food to feed an army. Her home was always the “go to” place for family functions with endless stories and laughter. Mom had a sense of humor like no other and could easily have you in tears with all her antics and stories.

and garden. She always had numerous garden ornaments around her yard and had the most beautiful animals, especially dogs. Shirley treated her “babies” like royalty, always spoiling them with treats. Maggie was her special friend and was always at her side.

Shirley had many talents, from sewing, crafting, and painting. She took up oil painting at the age of 80, but her passion was for cooking. If her grandkids knew she was making rice pudding, they would ride their bikes to Nannie’s to get some. She also loved baking cookies with her grandkids. In the early 80’s, Shirley ran her own restaurant “Peg & Shirls” out of the Park Hotel. She made the best soups, homemade cinnamon buns, and the best baked beans with so many crackers you knew for days the beans were still working.

Shirley was a very hard worker her entire life. She was a very caring and compassionate person, always putting others before herself. Many thanks to Dr. King for all her excellent and compassionate care, and to the all the staff at Marcie’s Private Care Home for the wonderful care you gave Mom while she was with you.

A Celebration of Shirley’s Life will be held on Saturday, June 10th, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. in the Harvey donations in Shirley’s name may be made to The Moose Jaw Humane Society, Box 1658 Station Main, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 7K7 or SCRAPS, PO Box 1653, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 7K7.
