Hunger in Moose Jaw launches fall funding appeal to help feed schoolkids Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Hunger in Moose Jaw is launching its 13th annual “I Bought a Lunch” fundraising campaign, which will run from October 10 to November 17 to help the organization serve an estimated 70,000 lunches to underprivileged schoolchildren in Moose Jaw schools in 2023/24.

“With increased need and rising food costs, our lunch costs have doubled this year,” said Sharla Sept, executive director of Hunger in Moose Jaw (HiMJ). “In the past, we have seen the

generosity of Moose Jaw’s citizens and business community, and Hunger in Moose Jaw is asking that they come along again to support this mission.”

Sept hopes that the I Bought a Lunch campaign will be able to raise at least $75,000 this year.

The campaign will kick off with a table at the Moose Jaw Co-op Food Store on October 10. Shoppers and supporters are welcome to stop by to visit, learn more about HiMJ’s programs, and make a donation to the I Bought a Lunch fundraiser.

Hunger in Moose Jaw is a QRQ SUR¿W FKDULW\ WKDW UXQV QXWULWLRQ education programs, helps supply healthy and affordable food to struggling families, organizes community gardens in Moose Jaw, and runs a free preschool for low-income families.

The organization’s most prominent focus is its school lunch program, which provides a vital daily meal so children in need can learn and enjoy school on a full stomach.

“This year, approximately 400 children are being provided with a daily lunch in a Moose Jaw school,” Sept stated. “Each lunch is nutritionally balanced, and our talented staff creates

these fresh-made lunches daily. Each contains a sandwich, fruit, veg, and snack, as well as a milk/milk product daily. This year we are estimated to serve 70,000-plus lunches.

“We strive to provide children with consistent lunches that help to support a child’s learning. Full stomachs support increased concentration which provides a positive school experience for each and every child. You can get involved by making a donation, have your business collect donations, or have your business sponsor lunch supplies for a week.”

All donations over $10 will receive a charitable receipt.

There are multiple ways of donating to the campaign, including stopSLQJ E\ WKH +L0- RI¿FH DW 6WDdacona Street West, by e-transfer to hunger.moosejaw@sasktel.net (please include contact info for tax receipt purposes), and stopping by the Moose Jaw Co-op table on October 10 with cash, cheque, or debit.

Legendary Roughriders running back George Reed dies at age 83 To honour Reed’s memory and his legacy, donations can be made to the George Reed Legacy Fund Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express / MooseJawToday.com It is with great sadness that legendary Saskatchewan Roughriders running back George Robert Reed died on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023. Reed died just one day before he would celebrate his 84th birthday.

Reed is considered to be one of the Canadian Football League’s (CFL) greatest players of all time.

Born in Vicksburg, MS, Reed began his career at the college level and played in the Pac-8 Conference (now Pac-12) for Washington State. After a successful college football career, Reed signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders where he

would play 203 games over 13 years from 1963 until 1975.

When he retired, Reed held onto impressive career records including 16,116 rushing yards and the still-unsurpassed record of 134 career rushing touchdowns.

Reed was also a nine-time CFL all-star, a 10-time Western Conference all-star, DQG KH SOD\HG LQ ¿YH FRQVHFXWLYH DOO VWDU games between 1970-1974.

In 1966, he helped the Roughriders ZLQ WKH FOXE¶V ¿UVW *UH\ &XS DIWHU GHfeating the Ottawa Rough Riders 29-14 at Vancouver’s Empire Stadium.

Further to this, Reed was voted the CFL’s Most Outstanding Player for 1965.

Reed then went on to help change the face of the CFL after co-founding and later serving as president of the CFL Player’s Association (CFLPA) for over a decade.

The goal of the CFLPA is to establish fair working conditions for players in the league.

“It was my dad’s immense honour to be part of the Saskatchewan community and to call it home for so many years. Sixty years ago, he received an offer to move to Regina to play for the Saskatchewan Roughriders and in accepting that offer it changed our lives for the better,” said 5HHG¶V GDXJKWHU *HRUJHWWH LQ DQ RI¿FLDO statement.

very end. I know my dad’s legacy will live on in the hearts of Rider Nation, as well as our own. We will all miss him so very much,” she said.

Reed was known widely as one of the greatest running backs in CFL history, along with names such as Mike Pringle and Johnny Bright. In Nov. 2006, Reed was voted one of the CFL’s top 50 players and ranked second, according to The Sports Network (TSN).

To honour his outstanding career, the Roughriders Football Club declared that no other player would wear #34 on the ¿HOG DQG KLV QXPEHU ZDV UHWLUHG IROORZing that statement. This made Reed’s number 34 one of only eight numbers retired by the club.

“In George Reed, the Roughriders had a legend in its midst, a role model and an example of what it meant to be a true professional. To be able to spend time with George throughout my time in Saskatchewan was a blessing and provided me, as well as our staff, players and coaches a

George Reed Foundation. The goal of the foundation was to give back to the community and focused on education, continuous learning, healthy living, and assisting individuals with disabilities.

In recognition of Reed’s contributions, he was awarded the prestigious Order of Canada on July 4, 1978. Canada’s highest honour was awarded in recognition of his noteworthy career as an athlete, for his work with individuals living with a disability, and in recognition of his establishment of the George Reed Foundation for the Handicapped in Regina, Sask.

As a continuation of his remarkable legacy, the Saskatchewan Roughrider Foundation has partnered with the George Reed Foundation to establish the George Reed Legacy Fund. The fund will support Special Olympics Saskatchewan and the Mother Teresa Middle School, both of which were deeply and personally meaningful to Reed.

Sask Polytech opens cutting-edge energy resources lab with $1.35M from PrairiesCan, SaskPower Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

6DVNDWFKHZDQ 3RO\WHFKQLF KDV RI¿FLDOO\ opened a 1000-square-foot, net-zero, cutting-edge Energy Resources laboratory at its Moose Jaw campus, thanks in part to the donation of $1.35 million from PrairiesCan and SaskPower.

The Energy and Resources Lab, located at 750A McDonald Street, represents a leap forward for Sask Polytech students and for Saskatchewan as a whole, said Brenda Suru, interim dean for the faculty of Technology and Skilled Trades.

Students will gain invaluable hands-on knowledge of current tech, but will also be positioned to respond to changing industry requirements and contribute to theoretical and applied research in the future.

“Sustainability is the future, the whole world is moving in that direction, and our new Energy Resources lab will help Sask Polytech students not only to stay up to date with industries, but be able to contribute to future developments in the ¿HOG ´ 6XUX H[SODLQHG 6KH VDLG VWXGHQWV ZLOO EH DEOH WR H[SHULPHQW ZLWK VRODU SDQels, geothermal heating and cooling technology, wind-generated power, biofuels, VPDUW HQHUJ\ JULGV HQHUJ\ HI¿FLHQW KRPH construction, and advanced battery technologies.

Sask Polytech’s industry partnerships across the province mean that areas like mining, structural engineering, and natural resources can intersect at the lab, which is itself designed to operate at a net-zero energy loss.

Event attendees included Clive Tolley, mayor of Moose Jaw; Rob Clark, CEO of the Moose Jaw and District Chamber of Commerce; Dr. Larry Rosia, president and CEO of Sask Polytech; Dr. Has Malik, provost and academic VP of Sask Polytech; Cheryl Schmitz, Sask Polytech’s CFO and VP of administrative services; Tim Eckel, SaskPower’s VP of Energy Transition and Asset Management; and Darrell Hawman, president of the New Southern Plains Métis Local #160, who signed a memorandum of understanding with Sask Polytech last year.

“This is a great day for Saskatchewan Polytechnic, and I gotta tell you, I’m WKULOOHG DERXW WKLV DQQRXQFHPHQW ´ 'U

and Built Environment, Mining, Energy and Manufacturing, and Co-operative Education. Suru characterized Hilts, who died in 2022, as an inspiring visionary whose push for partnerships, future-looking applied research, and improved Indigenous relations has had a profound and lasting impact on Sask Polytech.

Sask Polytechnic leadership and staff, students, and industry and community partners take a group photo in the new lab. (Photo by Gordon Edgar) Rosia said. “It’s been a long time in the making, and (has taken) some heavy lifting and hard work from people within our organization, and some generous investments from our partners.

“It’s clear that a real transformation shift is taking place in (the energy sector), a shift to alternate energy technologies and a shift towards more sustainable methods of harnessing and using our precious energy resources. And that’s why the centre that we’re opening, the Energy and Resources Lab, and the investment we’ve received from both PrairiesCan ... as well as SaskPower to open this facility is so, so LPSRUWDQW ´ Suru read a letter from Dan Vandal, federal minister responsible for Prairies Economic Development, congratulating Sask Polytech on the lab’s opening, and thanked Arla Cameron and Brendan Manz, who represented PrairiesCan in person.

“At SaskPower, our goal is to be net-zero by 2050 or sooner, we’re really striving to get there, and we will get WKHUH ´ VDLG 7LP (FNHO ³7R UHDFK WKLV goal, we must replace generation options that we’ve relied on for decades.

Editor’s Note “Gratitude turns what we have into enough.”

- Unknown Did you know that in 1957 the Government of Canada made a proclamation that the second Monday of October each year would be “for general thanksgiving to Almighty God for the blessings with which the people of Canada have been favoured.”

Joan Ritchie It makes perfect sense that EDITOR a holiday should be rooted in gratitude, whether you are secular or a believer. In this fast paced world, we probably should be more mindful to be thankful on a regular basis, but even once a year it’s a good practice to stop and ponder the good that is in each and every day, whether we acknowledge it or not.

An independent media, The Tyee, aptly said, “It’s easy to become overwhelmed by continuing news reports about wars, natural disasters, disease, widespread poverty, political corruption, and ongoing or imminent environmental crises, or to become wrapped up in our own daily struggles, while forgetting our potential to ¿QG ZRQGHU DQG GHOLJKW LQ WKH VPDOOHVW DQG PRVW RUGLnary of things.”

And now a little history lesson: Canadian history RQOLQH VWDWHV WKDW 7KDQNVJLYLQJ ZDVQ¶W ¿UVW FHOHEUDWHG E\ American settlers but by Canadian explorers and settlers.

It is said that after having survived an arduous journey, British explorer Martin Frobisher marked his safe DUULYDO RQ %DI¿Q ,VODQG ZLWK D UHOLJLRXV 7KDQNVJLYLQJ service in 1578.

French settlers arriving with Samuel de Champlain after 1604 also had Thanksgiving feasts.

Later, some American Thanksgiving customs were EURXJKW RYHU WR &DQDGD E\ 8QLWHG (PSLUH /R\DOLVWV ÀHHing the American Revolution.

In 1879, Parliament declared a national Thanksgiving Day to celebrate “the blessings of an abundant harvest,” but the date of the holiday shifted (at one point being the same date as Armistice Day after the First World War) until the government made the proclamation in 1957.

A little trivia: You may not know that when you imagine a turkey, it’s only the male turkey or ‘tom’ that can fan their tail feathers, and as a male, they do it when they’re trying to make an impression! Sounds like a male to me trying to show off to the other sex. Apparently when toms decide to show off to the ‘clutch’ of hens, they fan their tail and puff out their feathers. As well, the ÀHVKO\ EXPS DERYH WKH EHDN FDOOHG WKH µVQRRG¶ OHQJWKHQV and droops over the beak. And not to be outdone, the µZDWWOH¶ RU ÀHVKO\ PDVV RQ WKH QHFN SXIIV XS DQG WXUQV red. Then they strut their stuff, drag their wings, make boom and gobble noises to show their dominance and get attention.

I hope we all had some time on the weekend to be thankful for the blessings in our lives…and, although our Thanksgiving festivities are over in Canada, you can still enjoy a few corny turkey jokes that will make you smile.

Why did the turkey cross the road?

To prove he wasn’t chicken.

Is turkey soup good for you?

Not if you’re the turkey.

Why did the turkey bolt down its food?

Because it was a gobbler.

What do turkeys like to eat for Thanksgiving?

Nothing, they’re already stuffed.

And…drumroll please…

I used to be addicted to Thanksgiving leftovers, but then I quit cold turkey.

Wakamow Valley Authority presents upcoming Christmas craft and bake sale Oct. 13

The bake sale will be held from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Oct. 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Sportsman Centre, 276 Home St. E Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express / MooseJawToday.com The Wakamow Valley Authority is preparing to hold its annual Christmas craft and bake sale, and this year the event will take place over two days instead of the usual oneday event.

According to the Wakamow Valley Authority’s general manager Donna MacQuarrie-Bye, this is to make it worthwhile to vendors.

“It takes a lot of time and work to set up for one day, so we thought it ZRXOG EH EHQH¿FLDO IRU ERWK SDUWLHV involved to expand it over a two-day period,” MacQuarrie-Bye explained.

The annual event is planned by the authority’s Special Events Committee and the purpose is to help raise funds for park-based initiatives.

“It’s a fundraising event so (the committee) can continue supporting the activities that go on within the park,” she said. “It keeps the fundraising going for all the different programs (in the park).”

There’s no one program the committee seeks to fund, but some of the proceeds will roll over into the upcoming Valley of Lights display and also the Winterfest event, which is planned for the upcoming year.

The craft and bake sale provides a space for vendors to come out and showcase their many products and services. The timing is ideal as Christmas is right around the corner and many shoppers are starting the TXHVW WR ¿QG WKDW LGHDO KROLGD\ JLIW

Photo by: Wakamow Valley Authority “We have about 22 different vendors, and (they cover) everything from Tarot card reading to sewing, (and) grandpa signs to baked goods,” said Donna MacQuarrie-Bye. She explained that grandpa signs are door welcoming signs and are perfect for all occasions.

“We sold out our vendor spots early this year, which is great. Both nights are full,” she added. “There is something for all ages in there. Bring your kids down, and we’ll have a concession there as well.” There will be chili on a bun for sale provided by the Wakamow Authority. A table will also be set up with baked goods for sale.

The Wakamow Valley Authority will additionally be holding a door prize, and there will be a penny parade available as well.

“We welcome everyone to come on down and get some early Christmas shopping in,” said Donna MacQuarrie-Bye. “We’re looking forward to it and hopefully our vendors can sell out of all their product too.”

The Wakamow Valley Authority was established in 1981 through an Act of the Saskatchewan Provincial Legislature. The authority is responsible for implementing the Wakamow Park Master Plan and operates on the mandate of achieving the enduring sustainability of Moose Jaw’s River Valley on behalf of its citizens.

“Our goal is to preserve and conserve the park in its natural beauty,” Donna MacQuarrie-Bye said.

Wakamow Valley Authority is a QRQ SUR¿W RUJDQL]DWLRQ DQG SOD\V D vital role in overseeing any development in the Moose Jaw River Valley.

For more information on the event, contact Donna MacQuarrie-Bye at 306-692-2717 or email her at Wakamow.gm@sasktel.net.

The Christmas craft and bake sale will take place at the Sportsman Centre Event Hall in the Wakamow Valley Park, and will take place on Friday, Oct. 13 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., and then again on Saturday, Oct. 14 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

There will be an admission fee of $2.00 for all individuals who attend.

Nearly three years after a driver, believed by the Moose -DZ 3ROLFH 6HUYLFH WR EH XQGHU WKH LQÀXHQFH RI DOFRKRO rolled their car through and over the Connor Park Challenge Course, the Wakamow Valley Authority reports the playground is safely repaired and again ready for community use. ³, DP MXVW VR KDSS\ WKDW LW¶V ¿QDOO\ ¿[HG ´ ODXJKHG Donna MacQuarrie-Bye, general manager of the Wakamow Valley Authority. “There’s a little bit of landscaping WKDW VWLOO KDV WR EH GRQH ZH KDYH WR DGG PRUH ¿UH UHWDUdant wood-chip mulch, but we will be holding off on that until next spring.”

Just past midnight on Oct. 31, 2020, a vehicle left the embankment of the roadway leading from 9 Avenue Southwest into Connor Park, went airborne, and made its less-than-graceful landing in the midst of the playground.

Crews were forced to removed damaged structures and put up bright orange plastic barriers, and the park stayed that way until now.

MacQuarrie-Bye said she’s already received positive community feedback about the repairs.

“We’re just happy the community can get in there again, and we’re sure everybody will be pleased, because it’s been a long time coming.”

Heartland Hospice welcomes new board members, reveals timeline through 2024 Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

A recent Heartland Hospice Moose Jaw board meeting welcomed two additional board members, several more donations to their $1 million Capital Campaign, and the timeline of events into 2024.

Heartland Hospice was founded in 2014 to increase the number of dedicated hospice beds at Pioneer Lodge on Albert St. They have built one bed so far, and have received approval from the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) to move ahead with a complete hospice wing renovation at Pioneer Lodge: Three dedicated hospice-palliative bedrooms; • A family resource centre with reading materials and activities for children; • A sacred space for the use of the whole facility; • A dedicated family entrance separate from the long-term care section; • A serenity garden, upon which much work has already been completed, and; • Essential palliative care training for hospice staff.

Heartland Hospice Moose Jaw (HHMJ) launched their Capital Campaign for $1 million to complete the renovations during their annual Gala in May 2022.

“We scaled back our activities in the summer and took two months off from scheduled board meetings, but it was still a very busy and exciting few months for Heartland Hospice,” said Sara Bryan, YLFH FKDLU RI WKH QRQ SUR¿W¶V ERDUG

By Joyce Walter - Moose Jaw Express

Buttons in the back planned to ZOV^ VɈ HZZL[Z When someone learns that I have some retro clothing in my possession, the question always arises: “Why do you keep those old clothes?”

The answer has always been related to weight and width, and the distinct possibility that one day in the far future, both weight and width would diminish so those FORWKHV ZRXOG ¿W PH DJDLQ +RSH , ZDV DOZD\V WROG springs eternal. I am still hoping.

Today the response might have more to do with being unwilling to part with clothing that I am learning might have some value far beyond the initial price tag. And while I might not be able to wear them again, someone who watches television might decide that shopping in my closet would be more rewarding than a visit to the nearest big box outlet.

I cannot recall the company the TV commercial was representing, but the visual caught my eye. There was D \RXQJ ZRPDQ ZHDULQJ D ORYHO\ VZHDWHU ZLWK WKH ¿UVW view of the sweater’s design from the front. Then she turned around and showed that the sweater was buttoned in the back, giving an entirely different idea of the sweater’s versatility.

I sat up straight in the chair and announced to House-

mate that fashion had come full circle, that what some consider out of style is really in style in today’s clothing world.

He looked at me with a puzzled expression until I explained that as a teenager I too had sweaters that could be worn just like the one the model was being paid to wear.

Back in my teenage years, the girls’ dresser drawers ZHUH ¿OOHG ZLWK ZKDW ZHUH FDOOHG ³VZHDWHU VHWV ´ 7KHVH sets included one short-sleeved pull-over, accompanied by a more traditional sweater with button closings. They were usually worn together with skirts, or occasionally with slacks.

A glance online now calls these particular pairings, “vintage sweater sets,” a polite way of calling them “old.”

They may be old but they are new again and I wonder how we teens knew how to wear them to the best advantage, a trend once again being featured on TV as though 60 years ago didn’t exist.

I explained more fully to Housemate that we sometimes discarded the pullover in favour of just wearing the sweater. But we didn’t button it down the front. Instead we buttoned the sweater, turned it around so the back was in the front then yanked our head and arms through the

appropriate holes.

Our demure front-buttoned sweater now became an entirely new fashion, designed with one thing in mind: proving that we teen girls had bosoms that no longer needed a training undergarment.

Of course some of the girls had more prominent bosoms and the reason for the backward sweater was readily apparent.

I was not one of those girls. My sweater was baggy whether worn with buttons in back or front. But not to be left out, I continued to wear buttons at the back, again with hope always present.

Eventually those sweater sets went out of fashion and the trend moved on to over-blouses worn with bell-bottomed trousers, featuring gobs of extra fabric so the hems swished as we walked. Of course I had to secure the waist with a safety pin to keep the pants in place — I had no hips and still no bosom of note. , NQRZ P\ SLQN EHOO ERWWRP RXW¿W GH¿QLWHO\ ZRQ¶W need a safety pin, but one of these days I might try turning a sweater around with buttons in the back to see if the state of my bosom has improved. Hope still exists.

Excitement starting to grow for 18th annual Better Together Food Drive Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

While Halloween will be a joyous time for kids to collect candy, it will also be a night when residents can support their less fortunate neighbours with food donations.

Hillcrest Apostolic Church and the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank are teaming up again for the 18th annual Better Together Food Drive, which takes place Tuesday, Oct. 31, from 5:15 to 9 p.m.

The event kicks off at the church — 1550 Main Street North, adjacent to the Heritage Inn — and moves to the Moose Jaw Exhibition Grounds for sorting and packing.

Those items will then be shipped to the food bank.

Canvassers are encouraged to arrive at Hillcrest &KXUFK DW S P WR FKHFN LQ ¿QG WKHLU WHDP DQG VWDUW collecting food. Volunteers are encouraged to dress warm and wear their best smile during the evening.

Nearly 450 volunteers in teams of eight to 10 will fan out across the city to pick up food along 40 routes. They will return to the exhibition grounds around 7:15 p.m. to assist the sorters already there.

If residents cannot go door to door but still want to help, they can sort food or drive a vehicle for canvassers.

Visit www.hillcrestmj.com/fooddrive to register or volunteer, or call the church at 306-692-5600. People can register as individuals or as teams.

Homeowners will receive a bag marked with the Better Together Food Drive logo. If they don’t receive one, they can pack food in a box. ³:H DUH YHU\ H[FLWHG /DVW \HDU ZDV RXU ¿UVW \HDU back in person after two online years due to COVID,”

said organizer Daycee Richardson. “And we had a really great comeback. We were amazed — people were just as generous as ever.

“So we’re excited for this year because it will be back to normal, as far as things are run,” she continued.

“And the needs of the food bank have risen dramatically in the last few years, so we know (the food drive is) needed more than ever.”

In 2022, Moose Javians donated 44,043 pounds to the food drive, which translated into nearly 50 pallets.

Richardson noted that it was easier last year than in previous years to deliver the food by semi-truck because the

food bank had moved into a new — and bigger — location at 270 Fairford Street West.

“We’re hoping for a similar response (from residents) this year,” she said, adding non-perishable items are always needed, especially since food costs continue to rise. “I know that (the food bank) is getting excited about it, too.”

Hillcrest Pastor Steven Atkins appreciated how the event combined residents’ generosity with an organization that regularly supports the community.

It’s great that this partnership has lasted so long, while Hillcrest has also had other long-standing relationships with groups such as Joe’s Place Youth Centre and has helped host its Voltage New Year’s Eve Party for 19 years, said Atkins.

“They keep meeting a need,” Richardson added.

“The need is still there.”

Crestview Housing Co-op observes 40 years operation Ron Walter - For Moose Jaw Express

The Crestview Housing Co-operative celebrated 40 years of operation.

The organization, one of four housing co-ops in Moose Jaw, provides 43 self-contained apartment units for people age 55 and older.

Emcee Al Klassen thanked volunteers from over the years who have contributed to operating the co-op.

“We could have waited until the 50th (anniversary) but who would be left?’’ he joked.

Opened under the auspices of the then Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) in 1983, the co-op received assistance from Saskatchewan Housing Corporation after 1998 when CMHC transferred obligations to the province.

From 1998 to 2019 when the mortgage was paid off and burned, Sask. Housing subsidies amounted to $1.584 mil“Miss Geraldine”

Klassen credited volunteers who made the co-op a reality . “Your have made it the kind of place you want to live in.’’

A bit of mirth took place when a “Miss Geraldine’’ read a poem by resident Irene Young telling the history of the Crestview Co-op.

Deputy Mayor Kim Robinson said the co-op is “like a microcosm of what a community should be.’’

Residents are expected to contribute to the ongoing operation of the facility. To date, 271 tenants have lived in the place.

Klassen said rents are reasonable with a two-bedroom unit renting for $960 a month. The co-op has a waiting list.

Former MLA Warren Michelson said Crestview Coop was one of their favourite places when his wife Debbie and he attended events. “It was so welcoming.” $ ¿UH VRPH \HDUV DJR WKDW GHVWUR\HG SDUW RI WKH EXLOGLQJ ³ZDV GHYDVWDWLQJ EXW LW ZDV FRQWDLQHG <RX ¿[HG everything. The building looks beautiful.”

REPORT from

Moose Jaw North MLA

Tim McLeod Our government was extremely dismayed by the decision of the court blocking implementation of the Parental Inclusion and Consent policy – a policy which has the strong support of a majority of Saskatchewan residents; in particular, parents. The default position should never be to keep a child’s information from their parents. It is in the best interest of children to ensure parents are included in their children’s education, in their classrooms and in all important decisions involving their children.

That is why our government will take action to ensure the rights of Saskatchewan parents are protected and that this policy is implemented. Our government has recalled the Legislature for October 10, 2023, and will use the notwithstanding clause of the Canadian constitution to pass legislation to protect parental rights.

As harvest wraps up across our province, Saskatchewan recognizes Agriculture Month in October. Agriculture is a cornerstone of our province, and this month is an opportunity to thank the dedicated farmers, ranchers

and agribusinesses who produce high quality, sustainable food. For a full list of Agriculture Month events or to learn how you can take part, please visit www.farmfoodcaresk.org.

Saskatchewan’s population continues to grow at its fastest pace in more than a century. The latest quarterly population estimates from Statistics Canada show the number of people living in our province grew by 8,567 in the second quarter of 2023, and by 30,685 over the past year. The annual increase is the largest increase we have seen in a single year in more than a century! Our government will continue to protect all we have built WR HQVXUH IXWXUH JHQHUDWLRQV FDQ EHQH¿W IURP D VWURQJ and growing economy that creates opportunities and improves the quality of life for all.

Wages have increased for early childhood educators (ECEs) as well, recognizing their key role in growing and nurturing future generations of Saskatchewan citizens. Effective October 1, more than 90 per cent of the province’s ECEs saw an average increase of 8 per cent compared to September 2022. This increase is possible through a $7 million joint investment from the Governments of Saskatchewan and Canada through the Early Childhood Educator Wage Enhancement grant.

As Saskatchewan’s population and economy continue to grow, our government continues to invest in strengthening our health care workforce. We continue to prioritize the four-point Health Human Resources Action Plan to recruit, train, incentivize and retain health care workers to our province. As part of that plan, increased funding for the Saskatchewan International Physician Practice Assessment (SIPPA) program continues

to support internationally-trained physicians as they begin their practice in Saskatchewan.

This summer, 16 new doctors completed the SIPPA program and began practicing in rural and remote communities across the province. Along with SIPPA, other initiatives, such as the quadrupling of the Rural Physician Incentive Program, expanding medical residency seats at the University of Saskatchewan, and expanding post-graduate medical residency training sites across the province, continue to bring more physicians to our province and expand the capacity of our health care system.

To further build and strengthen our province’s health care system, our government invested $1.3 million to create a Physician’s Assistant (PA) position. This IDOO IRU WKH ¿UVW WLPH 3$ SRVLWLRQV ZLOO EH DGYHUWLVHG across the province. PAs are health professionals who practice under the supervision of a licensed physician, with duties such as conducting patient examinations, prescribing medications, and ordering and interpreting tests.

CITY HALL COUNCIL NOTES

THE NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING IS TUESDAY, OCT 10 The City of Moose Jaw is continuing to expand its narrow streets parking project to include more roads that are less than nine metres in width.

City hall launched a pilot project in 2015, with parking on one side of the street initially affecting Henleaze Avenue to Ninth Avenue Northwest from Caribou Street to Laurier Street. Council then approved expanding the project to all narrow roads in April 2022 and agreed to spend $31,500 to install new signs on 35 narrow streets.

The City of Moose Jaw has issued a press release stating that the building’s residents have been offered immediate help relocating, thanks to assistance from Social Services.

Further assistance is being provided by the John Howard Society, which is helping affected residents with hygiene packs, food, and clothing.

The Moose Jaw Housing Authority is assisting any inquiring residents with applications for available housing units.

The Moose Jaw Police Service had its Police and Crisis Team (PACT) unit on scene, and along with help from paramedics, residents were assisted during the evacuation process.

Hot Pressure Washers!!

Mayor, city manager raised 9th Ave. NW/Hwy #1 intersection concerns directly with premier Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Maryse Carmichael, Moose Jaw’s new city manager, spoke at the Moose Jaw & District Chamber of Commerce AGM on Sept. 28, and said she and Mayor Clive Tolley had directly addressed the 9th Avenue Northwest and Hwy #1 intersection with Premier Scott Moe. Carmichael said she and Tolley had met with the premier and with Tim McLeod, MLA for Moose Jaw North and Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, Seniors, and Rural and Remote Health. They took the chance to talk about the safety concerns with the intersection, and called it a priority in provincial/municipal relations.

Carmichael explained the conversation in the context of answering questions from Chamber members about KHU ¿UVW IHZ PRQWKV DV FLW\ PDQDJHU “The overview for me ... is probably divided into, one, my role as a strategic advisor and policy advisor with council, being with (city administration), to ensure that (two,) city administration implements the directives and the direction that (City Council) would like to have.”

“I do see my role, and of course Mayor Tolley and city council, to be involved with stakeholders. ... Mayor Tolley and I were in Regina three weeks ago and met with Premier Moe, and we took the time to be there with Tim McLeod as well.

“One important topic that we brought up, because it is a provincial/municipal issue, is the Highway #1 and 9th Avenue North West intersection. To us, that was an important topic to bring.

“The Moose Jaw Corridor Study-Highway 1 Planning ... provided the public an opportunity to give feedback on the options prepared by the Department of Highways. ...

Some of the options put forward by the Department of Highways would result in closing north-south vehicular access to cross Highway 1 at 9th Ave. NW, something the City of Moose Jaw is not in favour of, and the businesses operating on the north service road are opposed to.”

Doherty and his partner moved to Moose Jaw just over n a year ago, he said, and are loving the city, the community, e and the people. He was invited to speak at the Chamber AGM at Grant Hall alongside Maryse Carmichael, Moose 9 Jaw’s city manager, on the topic of getting government attention to help advance Moose Jaw’s businesses and genn eral economy.

Doherty noted that in addition to his several decades of experience in the public and private sectors, his current work with Prairie Sky Strategy is directly concerned with government relations, public affairs, business development, and stakeholder relations.

“The number one thing in government and getting the government’s attention, regardless of political stripe, or which province you’re dealing with, or the federal government, is you’ve got to stay in their ear,” Doherty said ¿UPO\ ³,I \RX ORRN DW UHSUHVHQWDWLRQ DURXQG WKH FDXFXV WDble, and the Cabinet table, and who is getting ‘face time’, if you will, with respect to those decisions that are being made on attracting investment, or attracting business, or providing some type of incentives, or assistance to attract that investment and attract those businesses ... lobbying goes on all the time.

Number One implement hitch maker in North America stays in Saskatchewan In the newsroom one day over 30 years ago when I worked at the Times Herald, Yours Truly was reading the paper when I spotted an ad for a community bond presentation to raise money for a tractor/implement hitch venture called Power Pin. I decided to write a story.

The community bond program was a Devine government policy to kickstart rural development by guaranteeing the principal of locally-raised bond funds for 10 \HDUV LI WKH\ ¿QDQFHG QHZ EXVLQHVV YHQWXUHV I took a photo and wrote the story. The hitch had won many awards and I was intrigued by this simple idea to make the hitch safer and the hitching process more convenient.

A few days later I phoned to invest the minimum $1,000 in Power Pin. Founder Brian Olson was happy to accept my money and said my story had helped to achieve the minimum $225,000 goal for the community bond corporation.

By 1993, the Belle Plaine Community Bond CorpoUDWLRQ ZDV WKH PDLQ IDFWRU LQ 3RZHU 3LQ ¿QDQFLQJ A few days ago, the shareholders approved sale of the company. The price and dividends over 30 years provided an annualized return just over nine per cent.

The story of Power Pin is a classic new business case, a story of one man’s persistence.

The aim was to get the Power Pin hitch on the 125,000 tractors made every year.

Getting there involved hard slogging and patience.

Olson put hundreds of thousands of miles on his truck attending countless trade shows, signing up dealers and travelling to convince engineers and executives to adopt the hitch. %XVLQHVV ZDV VORZ GHYHORSLQJ 7KH ¿UVW EUHDN through was acceptance as an aftermarket accessory on existing tractors.

The community bond corporation ran into a hitch as the 2003 date for redemption/conversion of bonds into shares of Power Pin approached.

A number of bond holders didn’t want shares.

Conversion meant losing guaranteed principal and there was no way Power Pin could afford to redeem bonds or pay dividends.

Under chairman Daryl Rumble, the board found new and old investors to acquire the bonds.

Power Pin continued with no dividends on shares for the next 10 years. A contract with John Deere opened viable revenues and other tractor manufacturers adopted the hitch.

Power Pin has become the standard for tractor drawbars and number one implement hitch manufacturer in

North America, having exported $160 million of product.

At the meeting approving the sale, Olson thanked shareholders for their support and for never complaining during the 10-year drought of no dividends.

The former Gull Lake farmer, who invented the hitch in the 1980s confessed, “I didn’t have a clue about what I was doing.

“I thought I’d go to John Deere, get a million bucks and that was it.’’

Instead he struggled to convince tractor makers the product was worthy enough to adopt.

Swift Current-based 3S Group bought Power Pin and plans to continue operations with the 10 employees at the Fort Qu’Appelle location.

The new Power Pin owner has six facilities building DJULFXOWXUH UHODWHG SURGXFWV LQFOXGLQJ ÀH[LEOH KDUURZV aeration systems, springs, and components, design and marketing services.

The 77-year-old company, formerly Rem Manufacturing, is number one in North America in several of its products.

They have taken steps such as holding school assemblies for National Indigenous Peoples’ Day in close consultation with local Indigenous groups and leaders such as knowledge keeper Lyndon Linklater and prominent Indigenous speaker and activist Brad Bellegarde.

“As you know, September 30th is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, but is also known as Orange Shirt Day. The orange shirts have become a symbol of hope and by wearing them, we are making a promise to do better. We are learning and acknowledging that residential schools are a part of our history in Canada,” Gauvin said.

“This is the third year that Holy Trinity Catholic School Division recognized the day by taking the time to honour the children who didn’t come home. We remembered the students, survivors, their families, and also the communities.”

At the Western Development Museum, elementary students listened to stories and learned from various Indigenous artists, singers, dancers, and storytellers like Lana Hebert, Brittnee Prettyshield, and Bellegarde, among others.

Local wedding venue holds pumpkin u-pick, farmer’s market two weekends in October Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Cross Iron Acres, a wedding venue about 15 minutes north of Moose Jaw, holds several weekends’ worth of pumpkin u-picking/farmer’s market/family photo op events each fall, and has seen tremendous response from the community.

“When we moved here, we were asking around about, you know, where people get their pumpkins from? And everyone said, well, you either go to Lumsden or you go to a local superstore and grab one out of the bin,” explained Dustin Mayes, who co-owns Cross Iron Acres with his wife Britany Mayes.

The Mayes moved to Moose Jaw three years ago and started their wedding venue business a year later. That side of the business is booming, they were happy to say — they are almost fully booked for DQG DUH QRZ ERRNLQJ LQWR They have 10 acres of land, which means they have plenty of extra room for gardening.

They have learned a lot since then.

They grow colourful, popular variations such as Snow Balls, Porcelain Dolls, the Jack of all Trades (the classic Halloween carving variety), Rivals, Cinderella’s Carriages, and more. Despite persistent rumours, Dustin noted, all of the pumpkins are homegrown — a full family effort by the Mayes and their four young children.

The patch at Cross Iron Acres (Cross (Shopping for seeds can often be Iron Acres) hilarious, the Mayes added, because of 6R VRUW RI LJQRUDQWO\ DW ¿UVW ZH ERXJKW D the pages and pages of creatively named bunch of seeds online, got some help from pumpkin varieties with, it seems, new veran irrigation company, we found out you sions every year.)

High school volleyball nears pool play system

Top three, bottom three teams to be put into round robin pools after league night on Oct. 11 Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express The Moose Jaw High Schools Athletic Association boys and girls volleyball leagues usually don’t have a whole lot on the line this time of season, but a new pool play system has made the games coming up on Wednesday, Oct. 11 that much more important.

With the top three and bottom three teams moved into separate pools after the series of games that night, squads sitting in the middle of the pack will be looking to pick up big wins.

Once seeded, the two pools will play a three-game round robin, with the bottom SRRO WHDPV XQDEOH WR ¿QLVK DQ\ KLJKHU than fourth regardless of their record.

To that end, both the Central Cy-

clones on the boys side and Cornerstone Christian School Falcons on the girls side picked up important wins on the Tuesday, Oct. 3 league night.

For the Cyclones, a 25-20, 19-25, 25-20, 25-17 win over Cornerstone saw Central improve to 3-1 on the season and move into second place, all but locking down a spot in the top pool.

Cornerstone dropped to 2-2 and are tied with the Vanier Vikings -- who fell 25-23, 25-20-25-23 to unbeaten Assiniboia (4-0) -- for third place. Peacock (1-3) took a 25-15, 26-24, 26-24 win over Avonlea (0-4) in a battle of teams that will see action in the lower pool.

But Moose Jaw -- made up of players from the Peacock Tornadoes and Riverview Royals and wearing Peacock colours -- didn’t go quietly.

A long-range goal at the 25 minute mark made it a one-goal game at half, and sure enough, the Boys would tie things up almost immediately after the second half resumed.

But you don’t have the kind of success Central has had over the years without knowing how to rebound -- and rebound they did, scoring four goals over the next 40 minutes to take a 6-3 victory.

Open Letter to Saskatchewan Senators

Re: Bill C-234 – Carbon Tax Dear Saskatchewan Senators The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author, DQG GR QRW QHFHVVDULO\ UHÀHFW WKH SRVLWLRQ RI WKLV SXEOLFDWLRQ I am writing to you as the President of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan and a dedicated farmer from Tisdale, Saskatchewan. As the Canadian Senate considers the merits of Bill C-234, An Act to amend the Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act, I want to encourage each of you to support this Bill given its implications for Saskatchewan’s agricultural community, and farm families across Canada. Innovation has been the cornerstone of our agricultural practices.

Long before climate change and emissions reductions became national priorities, farmers in Saskatchewan were PDNLQJ VLJQL¿FDQW SURJUHVV WRZDUGV UHducing CO2 emissions and increased carbon sequestration in soils. The transition to zero-till farming, undertaken without government direction, stands as a testament to our commitment to both environmental stewardship and economic viability. However, it often goes unnoticed how this practice continues to make substantial contributions to Canada’s environmental efforts. As the merits of Bill C-234 are discussed, we should ask ourselves if we KDYH IXOO\ TXDQWL¿HG WKH HFRQRPLF YDOXH of this gift and how it compares to the relief this Bill will provide to our farming community. $JULFXOWXUDO SURGXFWLRQ IDFHV VLJQL¿cant hurdles that must be overcome in the effort to replace current fuel sources with greener alternatives. Many farms have already transitioned to cleaner alternatives like natural gas and blended fuels, but there is a lack of infrastructure and technological development to support the adoption of newer, greener energy sources. The unique environmental conditions and vast geography of our region pose challeng-

I believe that this unintended consequence of the carbon pricing policy is something that Bill C-234 seeks to address. Farmers are driven by a deep commitment to environmental stewardship because we want our farms to be better, more productive, and more sustainable for the generations that follow us.

This legacy is what truly matters to us. However, we cannot be bound by policies that diminish our capacity to invest in the very solutions you wish us to pursue. Shifting to cleaner energy sources is a costly and gradual process and penalizing us for our reliance on fossil fuels at this stage is neither practical nor appropriate.

In conclusion, on behalf of Saskatchewan farm and ranch families, I encourage you to vote in favor of Bill C-234 and I remain hopeful that our shared dedication to a greener future will guide us towards informed and equitable decisions.

Sincerely, ,DQ %R[DOO 3UHVLGHQW $3$6

100 performances during a 57-year history, and more than 1,000 people have been involved in those productions. Whatever the name, the troupe has created solid productions, both licensed and original, and won many provincial awards.

The Moose Jaw Community Players (MJCP) offer acting workshops suitable for beginners and experienced actors alike, covering topics such as improvisation, character development, voice projection, and stage presence. The workshops are led by seasoned directors such as writer-director/teacher Debbie Burgher, who spent a career as a high school drama teacher and has led multiple award-winning theatre seasons with the MJCP, and performers like local business owner Crystal Milburn, whose passion for the arts has fueled her yearslong involvement with and support of the troupe.

Taken from our lives but never from our hearts.

Always Loved Forever Missed, Pat, Kathy, Mike & Families

CLOTHIER, VIOLET (née: Scott) October 4th, 1928 September 1st, 2023 Violet Clothier aged 94 years of Moose Jaw, SK, passed away Friday, September 1st, 2023. Vi was born and raised in Moose Jaw, the youngest and last surviving sibling of 8 children.

As a young girl Vi participated in Girl Guides, attending Guide camps at Connors Park in a Moose Jaw. Later she joined CGIT, and at the time of her aging out, Vi was the provincial president of CGIT Saskatchewan.

Vi became a teacher and taught at Newberry School just south of Moose Jaw. It was at this time that she met Harold Clothier and fell in love with, as in her words, “Harold’s strong singing voice”. One could hear him a mile away. They were married October 11th, 1950.

Vi and Harold farmed together on the farm they called home, 7 miles south of Moose Jaw, where they raised their 4 children.

Vi was involved with the Baildon United Church, community ladies groups, and in later years after moving into Moose Jaw, Minto United Church.

She was predeceased by her parents, James and Mary Scott; husband, Harold Clothier; her 7 siblings and their spouses; son, Ian Clothier; and daughter, Esther Moen.

Vi is survived by her son, Raymond Clothier (Karen); daughter, Heather Johnson; daughter-in-law, Jane Clothier; son-in-law, Barry Moen; 14 grandchildren, 12 great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren; as well as many nieces and nephews who all will miss her very, very much.

A Celebration of Violet’s Life will be held on Saturday, October 21st, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. at the Eagles Club, 561 Home St W, Moose Jaw, SK. A private family interment will take place at Sunset Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy, donations in Violet’s name may be made to a charity of one’s choice. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane.

Church of God’s banquet to focus on possible future ministries in community Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw Church of God is located at 50 Hochelaga Street East. Photo by Jason G. Antonio Moose Jaw’s Church of God will celebrate its 80th anniversary in 2024, but before that happens, it plans to honour what the church has done and what it could do in the future.

The organization is holding a fall ‘Leaving a Legacy’ Banquet on Sunday, Oct. 15, at the Alliance Church Gymnasium on 14 Neslia Place. Doors open at 4:30 p.m. and dinner is at 5 p.m.

For almost eight decades, COG has stood as a beacon of hope in the heart of the downtown, extending the love of Christ in numerous ways and leaving a legacy that lives on. Church of God continues to reach people through a variety of in-person and online programming.

Pastor Larry Hasmatali explained that the banquet gives members the opportunity to be reminded of what the church has accomplished and to focus on what its community-focused ministries could look like in the coming year.

“The legacy maker is not just what we do as a church for our church — which is important — but it’s about what we want to do in our community,” he said.

For example, Church of God started Born 2 Be Dance Academy 10 years ago as a ministry, and it has now grown to include 500 children. The church will highlight that program during a presentation at the banquet.

Furthermore, one church member is turning 100 years old next year and has written a prayer to celebrate the church’s birthday. She will appear on a video that will be shown during the banquet, while young people will take the lead on organizing the event.

In 2024, the church plans to hold a big celebration to honour its 80 years in Moose Jaw. Everyone is welcome to attend. Tickets are available WKURXJK WKH &KXUFK RI *RG RI¿FH E\ FDOOLQJ 5818 or on Eventbrite.

strength is too small to draw from in times of danger and adversity. In the 1970s when U.S. Vice President Spiro Agnew famously accused his ideological rivals of “pusillanimous pussyfooting.”

Magnanimity is greatness of mind according to lexicographer Noah Webster. It is that elevation or dignity of soul, which encounters danger and trouble with tranTXLOOLW\ DQG ¿UPQHVV ZKLFK UDLVHV WKH SRVVHVVRU DERYH revenge, and makes him delight in acts of benevolence, which makes him disdain injustice and meanness, and SURPSWV KLP WR VDFUL¿FH SHUVRQDO HDVH LQWHUHVW DQG VDIHty for the accomplishment of useful and noble objects.

Share with family and friends. Share with those who are struggling in our current economic climate. Remember, the turkey gave in a magnanimous way . . . he gave his all.

Moostletoe Tour adding four new groups to 11th annual tour Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The Moostletoe Artists Studio Tour — which celebrates local talents’ creativity and vibrant artwork — is welcoming four new groups this year, including those who focus on photography, pottery and paintings.

The 11th annual tour sees artists open their studios and offer visitors up-close and informal interactions. This popular tour also lets residents do some early Christmas shopping.

This year’s event occurs on Saturday, Nov. 4, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Visitors should pick up a tour passport, acquire a stamp at each stop and then leave it at the last studio visit for a chance to win a $250 gift basket.

This multi-stop event is open to all ages, and admission is free. A map can be found on the group’s Facebook page or at the Yvette Moore Gallery.

The four new groups this year include Nissa Gieni-Wareham, Dorothy Yakiwchuk and Kathy Verbeke, Ron Dormer, and Dave Pelletier.

Gieni-Wareham operates artisaNGrounds out of the Hammond Building and creates paintings and pottery. She also hosts public classes and leads private parties.

“She’s fun and spunky and full of lots of new ideas, which is nice because we have to keep it (the tour) fresh,” said organizer Laura Hamilton.

Pelletier is the board chair of the Moose Jaw Museum and Art Gallery (MJMAG) and will showcase his artwork.

bers also expressed disbelief at how the Moostletoe Tour was in its 11th year while acknowledging that it was still surviving even after a pandemic, Hamilton said.

She recalled that Monica De Campo developed the tour idea after seeing it elsewhere. She approached several artists about starting something here, with many agreeing to join.

Some founding members were Wendy Parsons and Zach Dietrich of Parsons Dietrich Pottery, the Keens, Yvette Moore, Grant McLaughlin and the MJMAG.
