Homestand ‘23 raises $130,000 for youth mental wellness in Moose Jaw school divisions Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com
River Street Promotions’ third annual Homestand concert, held in Ross Wells Ballpark, raised a total of $150,000 to be re-invested back into the community of Moose Jaw, with $20,000 going to maintain and beautify the ballpark, and a whopping $130,000 going toward youth mental wellness.

With the $20,000 donation to Ross Wells, that makes $150,000 being directed and gifted back to the community,” said James Murdock, a founding member of RSP. Homestand ‘23 was held on Sept. 9 and featured a screening of the annual Banjo Bowl, followed by performances from the Mike Plume Band, Lindi Ortega, Jordyn Pollard, and Corb Lund. Over 2,000 people attended, along with the many indispensable volunteers. The two cheques were given to Charlie Meacher, caretaker of Ross Wells, and to Amanda Olson and Ryan Boughen from PSSD and Ward Strueby from HTCSD, during a presentation in the lobby of Temple Gardens Hotel and Spa on Oct. 25. 7KH ¿UVW +RPHVWDQG FRQFHUW LQ raised $65,000, and Homestand ‘22 raised $100,000. Asked whether he sees a potential slowdown, Murdock said he doubted they would plateau anytime soon. “There may come a point,” he chuckled, “but the community just keeps requesting more and more with regards to Home-
stand, and Ross Wells is an unbelievable venue that I think has really captivated a lot of people now. “The moment people walk in to Ross Wells for Homestand, and they see the layout, I mean, everything about it is topnotch, from the entertainers to the stage, the video presence with the jumbotrons and lighting, it’s legit, you know? I really don’t know how it won’t keep growing, to be honest. There were a lot of fresh faces this past September, so we’ll keep rolling.” “It’s hectic having them there, it makes for a couple of interesting weeks of something different than baseball,” Meacher said wryly. Meacher is an active part of Homestand who puts effort into helping things go smoothly, and he was thanked by all at the presentation for his volunteerism. “The money really helps to get projects moving at the park and get things done that would take years otherwise, so it’s wonderful, and it’s a great thing they’re doing for the community.” “It’s great that we’ll be able to continue to enhance opportunities for our students,” said Olson, superintendent of operations at PSSD. “We’re excited to be able to do a second annual Mental Health Wellness Conference for our youth in
grades 6 to 12, and they all come together from both school divisions, and we can put some tools in their toolboxes related to their mental wellness. “We’ve also been promoting our grant matching program, and we’ve had multiple schools apply for that already for local level initiatives. Each of our schools has some autonomy for their needs, whether that’s having a guest speaker or mental health wellness workshops, or some kind of learning fair. So, that’s all well underway and we’re excited to see how those events go.” Strueby is CEO and director of education at HTCSD. He said he and his staff are “blown away” by the donation, and LQFUHGLEO\ H[FLWHG IRU KRZ LW ZLOO EHQH¿W their students. He noted the grant matching program for events geared around mental wellness, the joint mental health wellness conference planned by PSSD and HTCSD, and another grant enabled by RSP that helps staff travel to the annual provincial symposium. “That helps support our staff to attend the mental health and well-being symposium that’s held each year in the province, to bring back ideas to Moose Jaw and surrounding communities on how to support the well-being of our students,” Strueby said. “This year, we also had a cool idea in our division to purchase tickets to Homestand ‘23, and then we asked staff to put their names forward, and we had a draw for those tickets, so we’re also giving back to the RSP fund, and our staff were happy to be able to go. “We can’t say enough about the work River Street Promotions has done,” Strueby added. “We’re looking forward to the fourth annual concert next year, we will be there in person, and it’s going to be a great event.” The next RSP event is ‘A Nashville Christmas’ at the Mae Wilson Theatre on Dec. 9. The event features singer/songwriters Emily Shackelton, Jenn Bostic, Jonny Mo, Sarah Darling, and Lindsay Ell. Tickets are available through Sasktix.ca.

North 49 Foods plant opening includes $100,000 donation to Health Foundation, Food Bank Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com
The North 49 Foods sow processing facility, a state-of-the-art repurposing of the mothballed JBS/XL Foods beef plant just west of town, began with a generous charitable donation during its grand opening on Oct. 27, giving $50,000 each to the Moose Jaw Health Foundation and the Moose Jaw & District Food Bank.

We normally present a special anniversary gift to our partners and friends on our milestones. However, for our 30-year anniversary, we decided to use this budget for community purposes instead. “Today, we are donating $50,000 to the Moose Jaw Health Foundation, and $50,000 to the Moose Jaw Food Bank.” Terri Smith, operations manager at the

In March 2023 alone, food banks across Canada reported 1.9 million visits, and that’s in one month. “Here in Moose Jaw, the Moose Jaw Food Bank has seen client usage increase of 39 per cent compared to last year.

The 18th annual ‘Better Together Food Drive’ to take place October 31 Donations will be picked up for Moose Jaw & District Food Bank
Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express / MooseJawToday.com On Halloween this year, October 31, the Hillcrest Apostolic Church in Moose Jaw will again be running its annual ‘Better Together Food Drive’ campaign. This marks the 18th anniversary of the event. The goal of the campaign is to gather non-perishable food items for the Moose Jaw Food Bank. The campaign allows local individuals and families going through temporary hard times to receive much appreciated support during a time when the spirit of door-to-door generosity is common. “[The food drive] keeps meeting a need,” said campaign organizer Daycee Richardson. “…[and] the need is still there.” Canvassers for the event will meet at the Hillcrest Apostolic Church at 5:15 p.m. on Oct. 31 to rendezvous with other members of their team. Once all volunteers have arrived and checked in, the campaign will begin. As it stands, approximately 450 volunteers organized in teams of eight to 10 will fan out across Moose Jaw to cover 40 total routes throughout the evening. To assist in the campaign, Moose Jaw
Express has included a dedicated brown paper bag bearing the logo of the Better Together Food Drive so they can be pre¿OOHG DQG KDQGHG WR D FDPSDLJQ YROXQWHHU when they arrive at your door. If you miss the visit by a campaign representative, you can contact the Hillcrest Apostolic Church at 306-692-5600 or deliver the bag to the Moose Jaw Food Bank in the following days. When the campaign has ended, volunteers will return to the exhibition grounds at approximately 7:15 p.m. At the location, volunteers from the campaign will help assist another group of volunteers who are sorting food items in preparation for the Food Bank donation. If you would like to register as a volunteer for this or next year’s Better Together Food Drive campaign, visit HillcrestMJ.com/FoodDrive or call the Hillcrest Apostolic Church at 306-692-5600. The Hillcrest Apostolic Church is located at 1550 Main Street North and is just south of the Heritage Inn. All volunteers are reminded to dress warm and be careful regarding icy road and sidewalk conditions.
2023, the Health Foundation’s goal was to buy a Philips Breast Cancer MRI Coil for Breast Cancer Detection for the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital — McElree said they have now succeeded. “Every day in Saskatchewan, two women are diagnosed with breast cancer, and it’s a hard reality for people,” McElree said. “(When I go EDFN WR P\ RI¿FH ,¶OO EH DEOH WR FDOO WKH KHDG of diagnostic imaging and the radiologist that had a dream of bringing an MRI breast cancer coil to our community.

Guest Editorial Carol Festival organizers seeking choirs For 77 years, the Moose Jaw Rotary Club has been producing a festival of carols to get JOYCE WALTER local residents involved in the Moose Jaw Express spirit of the Christmas season. The two or three day festival is a time for school and community choirs to showcase their musical talents in singing favourite Christmas hymns or the more secular songs that are often accompanied by a bit of choreography. Over the years the festival has also included instrumental groups along with the choirs, offering a full range of talent. A nightly collection from the audience helps the club pay festival expenses and perhaps have some money left over for other comments projects. But the festival can’t function without choirs and the call has gone out for more choirs to offer to perform so the festival can maintain a two-evening program and hopefully, expand to three evenings.

No one ever minds an occasional off-key rendition of Jingle Bells or Silent Night. And who can ever resist smiling in delight at the youngster in the front row who never once looks at the director but knows exactly where family members are sitting and sends enthusiastic waves in their direction. At a Carol Festival a few years ago, the master of ceremonies for the program approached a young boy who had sung with fervour, and asked him: “where are you going from here?” The reply: “I’m going to McDonald’s and then home.” The MC should have stopped there but he asked: “did you enjoy being here with your classmates?” “I like McDonald’s more,” was the reply that resulted in loud applause and an appreciative bow from the youngster. Anyone who knows of choirs or suitable performers is encouraged to call 306-631-8714 to help the Rotarians maintain this popular Christmas tradition. Joyce Walter can be reached at ronjoy@sasktel.net

Scott Woods Band will perform at St. Andrew’s Church November 29 3LNLUKHY` ÄKKSL WSH`LY HUK IHUK ^PSS MLH[\YL HSS [OL ZLHZVUHS NYLH[Z K\YPUN [^V OV\Y *OYPZ[THZ ZOV^ Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express / MooseJawToday.com The Scott Woods Band will be visiting Moose Jaw this November, as part of its Old Time Country Christmas tour. The show will be held in the basement of St. Andrew’s United Church DQG ZLOO IHDWXUH OHJHQGDU\ ¿GGOHU 6FRWW Woods, along with such names as Steve Piticco, Naomi Bristow, Leo Stock, and Kendra Norris. Christmas music will feature from VWDUW WR ¿QLVK DQG WKH VKRZ LQFOXGHV IDPLO\ KXPRXU WULFN ¿GGOLQJ VHQVDWLRQDO VWHS dancing, and plenty more. “My personal pet peeve is when you see an artist, and you think, ‘boy this band is great… let’s go see their Christmas show!’ You go and see the show, and it’s exactly the same stuff that they always play. At the very end they say, ‘oh, it’s Christmas time so let’s play Jingle Bells and call it a day,” said Woods. “I make no bones about it… ours is a Christmas show. We play all your Christmas favourites and all the warm fuzzies,” KH FRQ¿UPHG “O Holy Night, Silent Night, I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas… all of those are there, and we play them with the respect those songs deserve,” he said. The format was inspired by Don Messer’s Jubilee, which was one of the highest-rated programs in the history of the CBC and aired coast to coast between 1958 and 1969. “I didn’t invent this way of doing WKHVH &KULVWPDV VRQJV 7KH ¿GGOH WXQHV in the middle of the Christmas song I give the nod to Don Messer’s Jubilee,” explained Woods. “Don would break out into D ¿GGOH WXQH RQ WKH VKRZ DQG ZH IROORZ that lead.” The band also plays uncommon Christmas tunes including The Christmas Letter. “Most people might not be familiar with it, but once they hear the words it’s a very impactful song,” said Woods.
Not every piece in the show will be deeply serious, and a few costume changes are involved. “We always have a way to keep the show going. There’s no dead air, and everybody has the chance to sing and play, and maybe tell a joke or two,” he said. “Fiddle music is generally happy music. It’s fun, (and incorporates) jigs and reels. In our Christmas show, we incorSRUDWH WKDW ¿GGOH VW\OH DQG FRXQWU\ PXVLF style into the songs, but for some people WKDW PXVLF LV D UHÀHFWLRQ RI WKH WLPH ZKHQ they were kids,” he said. “All of a sudden it takes you back to being a kid and sitting around the Christmas tree, on your grandpa’s knee or whatever the case may be,” said Woods. “It’s a real mix of emotions.” The Scott Woods Band has roots going back to 1944 when his father was 12 years old. “We’re like a big family. We laugh a lot on and off the stage, and it’s fun for all of us,” Woods said. “I’m sure that spirit comes across on the stage. It looks like we’re having a lot of fun, and we really are.” The band currently has Woods and four other members. Steve (The Telecaster Master) Piticco “(Steve) is an absolutely phenomenal guitar player. He has been with me for about eight or 10 years now, from around the time my mom retired from playing the piano,” Woods said. Piticco plays lead guitar and has performed with names like Brent Mason and Albert Lee. “He’s featured lots throughout the show. He is sort of the glue that holds the band together,” said Woods. Naomi (Canada’s Yodelling Cowgirl) Bristow Naomi Bristow is known as “The Yodelling Cowgirl.”
The two-hour show is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, Nov. 29 and doors open at 7 p.m. Photo by: The Scott Woods Band “She is a phenomenal entertainer. She is a great singer and has toured all over the world,” said Woods. “She sticks to traditional country music even though she is 26,” Woods explained. “She doesn’t want to try and be the next Shania Twain; she wants to be Naomi Bristow. “Lots of times it’s just her and her guitar and she goes out and plays these big festivals with 20,000 people and everybody else shows up with a 5-6 piece band and she’s all alone with her guitar, signing
and yodelling,” he said. Leo (Spaghetti Legs) Stock Leo Stock has worked with Woods since around the age of 13. Beginning ZLWK VWHS GDQFLQJ DQG OLWWOH ¿GGOLQJ H[SHULHQFH KH¶V QRZ D FKDPSLRQ ¿GGOHU 6WRFN is now the Canadian Open Step Dancing champion for the second year in a row. “He’s an absolutely amazing kid. He’s the one that will probably take over my show at some point when I decide to retire. It will be the Leo Stock show and maybe I’ll be driving the bus for him, I don’t know,” Woods said. Kendra (The Harmony Ace) Woods Norris Woods’ sister, Kendra Norris, is also a current member of the band. “She’s multifaceted, and she is a FKDPSLRQ ¿GGOHU ´ VDLG :RRGV ³6KH DOVR has her ARCT in classical violin, has studied classical piano, and has her music degree. She’s the smart one when it comes to (knowing chords and reading music). She’s the one who writes all our harmonies for our vocals as well as our strings,” said Woods. Woods also wanted to hint at one of the possible surprises during the show. “There’s a very good chance our friend from the North Pole might make an appearance on the show,” he said. The two-hour show is scheduled to take place on Wednesday, Nov. 29 and doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets cost $45 each and can be purchased by calling the toll-free number at 1-855-726-8896 or visiting ScottWoods. ca.

Last Ch!es f! Fall
By the time Hallowe’en arrives it is always a bit of a toss up whether we have snow and whether all the little ghosts and goblins will be able to enjoy their trick or treat rituals or if they will be a brief event. We have been fortunate, but some things can always be counted upon….by this time of year we will generally have a lot of below freezing temperatures! In spite of the length of autumn we have, it seems that there are always some chores left to be done when the ground has become white! I am not sure if anyone else follows a schedule like mine, but over the years I have come to accept that I will be outdoors doing some
work in the garden while wearing heavyweight gloves. On days when the sun shines and I have an inkling to get some fresh air, you will likely see me puttering around in the beds with secateurs in hand. I like to leave any perennials that might have winter appeal, but those that are not nice to look at, I will generally cut them back and add to the compost pile if time permits. Do remember that anything that is vertical will trap snow and benH¿W \RXU JDUGHQ ZLWK DGGHG PRLVWXUH Any plants that were newly established would benH¿W IURP VRPH H[WUD SURWHFWLRQ IRU WKH ZLQWHU 3ULRU WR the mercury dipping lower, mulch around these plants to ensure their crowns are well insulated. If you have any tender bulbs or perennials that you wanted to lift and keep, it is likely a bit too late for that unfortunately. I tend to grow perennials that can easily survive our climate, but there are usually a number of plants that I grow that will usually not make it through our winter. The decision to keep or let freeze has most likely now been taken out of our hands. If you have any tender summer bulbs that you have
tucked away – keep a close eye on them while in storage. I tend to tier the storage for any tender bulbs and plants that I store with their storage beginning in an insulated but unheated garage and then later into the basement in a cool corner until they start to grow. One day, it is my hope to have a root cellar! As the season moves on, we may still have a day here or there that is warm enough to still enjoy some outdoor chores. I use this time to organize and put away any tools or other garden paraphernalia so I can easily access them in spring. Tools that were used could be cleaned up a bit more, sharpened and oil the handles so we are ready for spring. 0D\ WKH HQG RI IDOO ¿QG \RX HQMR\LQJ DOO WKH URRW crops from your garden while nibbling away at the tomatoes, squash and onions.

Prospective students attend Sask Polytech open house event Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express / MooseJawToday.com Sask.

The event took place between Oct. 23 – 26, holding two sessions a day to allow more students the opportunity to attend. For the event, civil engineering technologies instructor Shawn Lamothe provided a tour and some information on courses offered by Sask. Polytechnic. According the Lamothe, the event plays a vital role in encouraging more students to join the program. “It’s fantastic to see, especially when we have the involvement of Prairie South (School Division) and Holy Trinity (Catholic School Division) and we can get them Gilberto Alexandre (left) and Sasha Waddell (right) provided information at the civil engineering technologies booth.

Lamothe said the program would ideally include a tour of the campus section by section. “I’m sure there isn’t a program here that wouldn’t be helped or happy to help tour all these people through. “We do see enrolment down in domestic students, so we put so much effort chasing students everywhere else because our domestic enrolment has always been high. Since COVID-19 we do see that little dent in (the enrolment rate of) domestic students, and it’s just coming back now.” He said the domestic enrolment is currently down around 10 per cent of the average, and he’s hopeful about the numbers returning to the average in the near future. Events such as this help recruit “There are so many programs that we offer here outside of (the business program), and that’s the thing I want to make sure people get to hear,” said Shawn Lamothe. more domestic students into the school. $QRWKHU EHQH¿W IURP WKH RSHQ KRXVH Photo by: Aaron Walker

Hallmark Christmas movies will save TV season! With snow and ice covering the ground and making it a slippery and dangerous adventure to be outside, some of my acquaintance turn to winter hobbies to pass the time. They knit and crochet, tat and make amazing petit point pictures, produce artistic quilts and runners, show off interesting scrapbooking products, spend time on internet tutorials, paint, sew, and so many other interesting and time-passing pursuits. I haven’t been able to master a single one of the hobbies and crafts listed so that leaves me with reading, writing, television or a bit of committee work. I’m pretty much up to date on the Tom Clancy and James Patterson books and now I’ve discovered the Beverly Lewis books about the beliefs and lives of the Amish. :ULWLQJ LV GRQH RQ D UHJXODU EDVLV DQG ¿OOV VRPH WLPH on the clock. A meeting or two a month gets me out of the house for a couple of hours at a time. So, by my calculations, I have some time available in which to turn my attention to the television set as the new season starts for our favourite shows. But wait: because of writers’ and actors’ strikes, there are few new shows to watch right now and that will likely continue into the new year.
But a friend told Housemate about a new channel he had recently discovered as part of a free tryout, Channel 237 of RFD TV. He came home one morning after his twice-weekly coffee meeting to explain in detail all the shows available to us on that channel. He exclaimed about the country and western music shows, the agricultural stories, the cowboy action and other programs of interest to anyone connected with rural life. One afternoon while waiting for the clothes dryer to shut off, I sat down to watch this new channel. Ferlin Husky was much younger in the show that afternoon. One of his guests was Mel Tillis, and another was Waylon Jennings, long before he gained his outlaw reputation.

Theft of high-priced items pushing up total property crimes numbers, data shows Property crimes have increased more than two per cent this year compared to 2022, with theft of items over $5,000 one of three sub-categories to see an increase. From Jan. 1 to Sept. 31, there were 1,676 total crimes against property compared to 1,639 incidents during the same period last year, an increase of 2.3 per cent, recent crime data from the Moose Jaw Police Service shows. Property crime Year-to-date data for crimes against property for 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, show: · Break-ins (business, residence, other): 192 / 245 / 248 · Motor vehicle theft: 38 / 48 / 47 · Theft over $5,000: 27 / 15 / 1; an 80-per-cent increase year over year · Theft under $5,000: 828 / 681 / 549; a 21.6-per-cent increase year over year · Arson: 1 / 9 / 12 · Mischief under $5,000: 245 / 281 / 302 In particular, “other” break-ins — to sheds, garages, outbuildings, storage units and similar buildings — have increased to 71 incidents from 60 a year ago, a rise of 18.3 per cent, Police Chief Rick Bourassa said during the Oct. 19 Board of Police Commissioners’ meeting. With thefts over $5,000, Bourassa argued that there hasn’t necessarily been an increase in the number of items VWROHQ EXW LQVWHDG LQÀDWLRQ KDV SXVKHG XS WKH YDOXH RI those items. “I’m going to respectfully disagree with the chief on one comment,” chuckled Commissioner Doug Blanc.
Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express With the theft over $5,000 category, he understood that the price of items had increased. However, looking at the data, year-to-date, the number of incidents had increased to 27 from 15. “I don’t believe it’s all simply because of the price of the articles,” Blanc added. “I think a lot of it is there’s more theft out there.” Bourassa acknowledged that Blanc was correct and that he had overstated the issue, agreeing that while inÀDWLRQ LV SDUWO\ WKH FDXVH WKHUH DUH PRUH WKHIWV RI KLJK priced items.

Members also come across these drugs when investigating other offences or when they conclude projects by seizing products and charging people. With CDSA drugs, fentanyl is the biggest culprit and the most prevalent opioid in the community, he continued. The agency works with its partners provincially and nationally on this issue because this illicit substance is everywhere and kills indiscriminately. “We do what we can to take them off the street and we work with our partners when we can as they try to reduce the demand … ,” Bourassa said. “But it’s challenging and something that’s been around for a long, long time.” Calls for service Year-to-date (YTD), police have responded to 14,880 calls for service, compared to 14,359 YTD in 2022 and 12,066 YTD in 2021.

The agency expects the city to rectify that problem in 2024.

The Coteau Street East Bridge, which connects South Hill with the former Church of God campus and Wakamow Valley, has deteriorated past even the point of pedestrian use and will be demolished in 2024 per the recommendation of city engineering services. Bevan Harlton, director of operations for the City of Moose Jaw, tabled a report at the regular meeting of city council on Oct. 23 that recommended the complete closure of the bridge by Dec. 1, 2023. “This report is an update on the Coteau Street East %ULGJH DQG WR FRQ¿UP LWV SHUPDQHQW FORVXUH WR ERWK YHKLFOH DQG SHGHVWULDQ WUDI¿F RQ 'HFHPEHU VW RI WKLV \HDU barring any need to close it sooner,” Harlton told council. “From there, we will continue to work with (Canadian National Railway) to enter into a 50/50 cost share agreement for demolition, and then we will proceed to demolition in 2024.” 7KH EULGJH ¿UVW EXLOW LQ ZDV SHUPDQHQWO\ FORVHG WR YHKLFOH WUDI¿F LQ 0D\ 7KH KLVWRULF VWUXFture has been the subject of many lobbying efforts by local residents, with arguments being made both for a complete UHIXUELVKPHQW RU IDLOLQJ WKDW VXI¿FLHQW UHSDLUV WR HQDEOH WKH EULGJH WR FRQWLQXH VXSSRUWLQJ SHGHVWULDQ WUDI¿F However, the city has responded that refurbishment would cost at least $1 million, and almost certainly more, and in 2021 council approved the bridge’s demolition by 2027 at the latest.

The combined average of the six stringer caps, or plates, that are unsupported by concrete is approaching 50 per cent. The report was prepared for city council by engineers from Associated Engineering. Council accepted Harlton’s recommendations unanimously. Demolition is expected to cost $190,000, but a
revised estimate of that cost will be submitted at the 2024 budget. “We had a delegation here last year from a number of residents who wanted to keep the bridge open,” Mayor Clive Tolley said during council’s consideration of the report. “We did our best, we kept it open as long as possible. We kept it open for pedestrian use throughout the summer months. This latest report basically says that it’s unsafe to continue, so I’m reluctantly in agreement with having the bridge removed.” Councillor Heather Eby, while agreeing with the decision, told her fellow council members that they should take a lesson from the Coteau Street East Bridge and make sure the city’s other bridges, such as the Fourth Avenue Thunderbird Viaduct, receive thorough preventative maintenance. “It’s a sad day when we have to demolish something in our city,” Councillor Crystal Froese said. Froese noted how important heritage structures are to the residents of Moose Jaw and how often she hears that preserving such structures is important. “This bridge has been utilized for over 100 years. ...

When turkey dinner with the trimmings was only $1 a plate My partner and I celebrated our 54th wedding anniversary a few days ago with a delicious dinner at Hopkins Dining Parkour — a place we hadn’t been for some time. While perusing the menu and selecting our meals we reminisced about the wedding day in the Parkbeg United Church.

Artist Laura Hamilton seeing post-pandemic resurgence of interest in her artwork Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express
Participating in art shows during and after the COVID-19 pandemic has been interesting for Laura Hamilton, who is seeing a resurgence in customer interest in not only her artworks but also the desire for everyday conversations. It’s been nine years since Hamilton quit teaching full-time and became an artist, and in that time, she has established herself as one of the more prominent members of Moose Jaw’s art community. She is one of nine artists or groups who is participating in this year’s 11th annual Moostletoe Tour on Saturday, Nov. 4. Hamilton is particularly known for painting faceless women with curly hair and whimsy dresses. She has also gone through periods where she painted darker pictures and then swung to painting pictures lighter in colour. She focuses on nostalgia because she is from the Prairies and enjoys the dirt roads and open skies surrounded by prairies. Furthermore, during the pandemic, she wanted to feel at home, cozy, and warm in her surroundings. However, she did not participate in any formal art shows last year, while sales seemed to slow down more than usual — an occurrence she heard from other artists. “… (but) all of a sudden, this year I’m back into the swing of things … . Now things are becoming more normal,” Hamilton said recently, noting that includes participating in seven autumn and Christmas shows between early September and late November. “It’s back to pre-COVID. It really is. And people just missed that experience.” Attending many events in a short period used to stress out Hamilton, but she
painting for Christmas, with this year’s “The Magic of Winter” creation featuring three people skating. While she sold the original artwork to a Yorkton woman, reproductions are available. “I think that will be popular,” Hamilton stated. A “weird” experience Hamilton has experienced the past few years — but is now used to — is painting her winter artworks in the summer. She noted that this makes good sense marketing-wise and is something she must do to compete with others. She doesn’t paint as much in the fall because that season is about sales, marketing and meeting customers. She normally starts painting again in the new year. However, people who visit her home during the Moostletoe Tour can see some projects on which she is working. One project that Hamilton painted Artist Laura Hamilton in her art studio.

Artist Nissa Gieni-Wareham focuses on the ‘strange and unusual’ with her paintings, pottery Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express
Artist Nissa Gieni-Wareham likes to focus on the “strange and unusual” with her paintings and pottery, although she doesn’t always know what she wants to create when she starts. “I just keep adding because (with) painting and pottery, if you don’t like it, you cover it up with more paint, or you rip it off and add more clay. So I just keep adding until I have a piece and I’m like, ‘OK,’” she explained. The artist uses themes when she leads classes, but with her creations, her mind knows no boundaries because it’s “wild and weird.” This is best shown by the “strange” paintings that hang on her studio walls.

to get her business name out there. The business has been around for only two years and word of mouth has helped it grow. Gieni-Wareham had never attended any Moostletoe events nor heard about them until she joined the art community. Being a business owner is secondary to her main job as a Grade 12 teacher at Phoenix Academy, where she has taught for 21 years. “When I have spare time, it’s usually spent here (in the studio),” she chuckled. Gieni-Wareham has been an artist since she was a child and could hold a pencil. She would look at images and attempt to copy them. Later, in university, she acquired degrees in education and visual arts. “I’m just happy when I’m creating. And I will try anything. If it’s something that gets my mind and hands going, I’m into it,” she said. “I’ve taken upholstery; I’ve taken stained glass, I’ve done it all. I just love it. It’s a thrill for me. “My business, and the fact I get to do this dream, is absolutely a blessing every single day to spread the love of art and have people come and enjoy it.” Gieni-Wareham was initially focused on growing her business and website and didn’t participate in too many trade shows. However, she always dreamed of attending ParkArt as a vendor; when she did, it was amazing. From there, she’s taken part in other events such as Whistlestop, Bazaart, TLC and the upcoming Moostletoe Tour. She doesn’t participate in many because she must spend a week carefully packing all her breakable pottery. “I squeeze them (events) in … . They are very exciting and rewarding but a lot of work,” she said. For many years, Gieni-Wareham cre-

She eventually set up a booth at the Wakamow Farmer’s Market to see if anyone wanted to attend an art party. One man came by and said he wanted to do something for his wife’s birthday. “I had no studio space, nothing. It happened really quick,” she chuckled. “And I found this space. And it’s just grown since then. I’ve never looked back. It’s been great (and) it’s been a real journey.” About 90 per cent of people attending classes or art parties say they aren’t artistic, she continued. Afterward, though, it’s interesting to see the artworks they’ve cre-
ated, while some may have developed the “love bug” for art. Gieni-Wareham uses the slogan “art with a twist” with her classes because they are never just about art. They also include music, snacks, games, prizes and “a whole lot of fun.” Gieni-Wareham doesn’t necessarily have a favourite item since everything she makes is one-of-a-kind; there are no duplicates. While she’s sometimes sad to see pieces go, having people buy them is great. “(And) if I don’t like (an artwork), I can just paint over it or smash it into a little ball again. I have to end up with something I like,” she said. Gieni-Wareham says she is still learning and could remain a student forever. She has big dreams but is focused on operating her business. Eventually, she wants to purchase her own building from which to showcase her work. “I’m over the moon about this all. This is where my happy place is,” she added. “And every day I’m still amazed that I’m doing this, like, ‘How did this happen?’”

Moose Jaw artist Jess Zoerb, known for her unique use of colour and shading in vivid, soulful portrait work, will open her Art House studio once again for the 11th Moostletoe Artist’s Studio Tour, coming up on Saturday, Nov. 4. The Moostletoe tour is an annual opportunity to take in the practice and work of a selection of talented artisans in the city. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Nov. 4, guests can visit artists like Jess Zoerb, Laura Hamilton, the River Street Potters, Mud Pie Girls, and more.

The Moostletoe tour is an annual tradition giving residents and visitors the chance to see where artists work, chat with WKHP DERXW WKHLU VW\OHV LQÀXHQFHV DQG EHginnings, and stock up on original, handcrafted artworks for Christmas. The tour takes place Saturday, Nov. 4, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Radwanski had a studio suite in the

Pottery-focused Mud Pie Girls excited to join other artists on Moostletoe Tour Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express
Being an artist can be a lonely, solitary endeavour, which is why potters Dorothy Yakiwchuk and Kathy Verbeke are thrilled to participate in this year’s Moostletoe Tour with other community artisans. The duo — they have a combined 70 years as potters — make up the Mud Pie Girls, which has existed for six years and operates at the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre. They will be showing their creations there during the 11th annual tour, which occurs on Saturday, Nov. 4. 7KLV LV 9HUEHNH¶V ¿UVW \HDU SDUWLFLSDWing and she is excited to display her work. Meanwhile, this is Yakiwchuk’s second time, as she participated years ago while working with tour co-founder Monica De Campo. “It was so inspiring (with De Campo). She had so much energy to give to me and others,” said Yakiwchuk. “She was committed and dedicated. I’m like that, too. “We complemented each other. She was a porcelain artist and I was into stoneware. It was wonderful. I hated to see her move.” Verbeke and Yakiwchuk now complement — and compliment — each other’s work, with the former focusing on sculptures and the latter creating functional, usable items like bowls, plates and teapots. Verbeke has been experimenting with a substance called sodium silicate, which is a technique she applies to the clay to provide different textures. Meanwhile, besides her functional LWHPV <DNLZFKXN ² ZKR ¿QGV SRWWHU\ therapeutic — will showcase her “signature work” of Nativity scenes, which she has been creating for 50 years.

There were days when I wondered, ‘Oh my goodness, can’t I keep that, one of my bowls?’” she recalled. “And he said, ‘Well, you will … be keeping one.’ And it was all about technique. And he said, ‘If you don’t have technique, how are you going to make all the things you have in your head?’” The Mud Pie Girls were the only pottery group at the Cultural Centre for years, but in 2022, they encouraged the River Street Potters — a quartet of younger women — to set up across the hall; the groups then developed a sound relationship. Verbeke noted the Cultural Centre now has a larger “presence of pottery.” Together, the two groups have participated in fundraisers for the food bank, the Cultural Centre and Square One Community Inc. It was the quartet who encouraged the duo to participate in this year’s Moostletoe Tour after taking part themselves last year. “It’s (the tour) an opportunity to be with other artisans and keep in touch,” VDLG <DNLZFKXN ³5HWLUHPHQW LV ¿QH IRU me and would not be complete without

tour participants as a show of support. “It’s really good to get together and let Moose Jaw know that we’re here and we have a lot of artists,” agreed Yakiwchuk. After the tour, the two pottery groups will host a joint exhibition in December, with their work inspired by Vincent Van Gogh and the theme of beauty. “I have my interpretation on that … . We start with nothing and we come out with something,” Yakiwchuk said. “We take a box of clay and we … try to make it beautiful and for people to appreciate what the work is like to be a potter.” Verbeke noted that she has already created a series of Van Gogh-related VFXOSWXUHV DQG ¿JXULQHV LQFOXGLQJ WKH artist with his paint pads surrounded by VXQÀRZHUV “… he’s one of my favourite artists.

Local photographer keeps history alive by colourizing black and white pictures Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express
Old black and white photos can tell tales about Saskatchewan’s early days, and for resident Ron Dormer, his efforts to colourize those pictures have helped enhance those stories. The Moose Jaw-based photographer began digging through the Moose Jaw Public Library’s archives during the pandemic and came across countless snapshots of the community’s life over the decades, stretching back to the early 1890s. A few photos were from Main Street LQ VR KH VSHQW IRXU WR ¿YH KRXUV D day for a month straight colourizing them. “All the colourization is from my mind, basically, right from black and white WR VFUDWFK WR WKH ¿QLVKHG SURGXFW ´ VDLG Dormer, who runs Ron Dormer Photography and will feature his work at the Cultural Centre on Saturday, Nov. 4, as part of the 11th annual Moostletoe Tour. “It’s almost like painting because every item I have to paint.” Dormer also came across some photos of the 1912 Regina Tornado. He took 10 digitized photos and removed the scratches and blemishes. Restoring the portraits was an extensive process, with software colouring many photos automatically. He also consulted various sources — Google was his friend — about the details of the scenery and the colours used for homes, clothes and toys. Pleased with how they turned out, he knew they needed to be made public and promoted them to the media this past summer. “That really sparked my interest in doing that. And then I have been doing

imaginative and artful pottery style lends itself well to the task. “We have such a beautiful space to decorate, with those bright, big windows looking onto Main St. There will be some Christmas stuff, a tree and ornaments, and there will be lots of Christmas stuff from my table, anyway. I can’t speak for everyone, we have a diverse set of interests here.” The River Street Potters are joining forces with the Mud Pie Girls, Dorothy Yakiwchuk and Kathy Verbeke, whose studio is across the hall from theirs. That means six different pottery art styles and interests will be represented at the MJCC for Moostletoe. In addition to Moostletoe, Sovdi and her group are preparing for a December art show in the MJCC art gallery. “So, we’re preparing some pieces for that (December show) and some pieces for Moostletoe, so my focus has mostly just been Christmas. I also have some moon lights, and I’ve been making funky snowmen and tree ornaments,” Sovdi explained. “I’ve been focusing more on making
interesting things than functional, lately. ... So, that’s been my focus, and I have fun with that. I do more sculpting, and Dianne does functional artwork pieces. Melanie makes a lot of functional pieces, and her glazes are just getting more and more beautiful. Shannon makes plates and mugs and plays with glazes, so there’s something from everyone, and a lot of diversity.” The 11th annual Moostletoe tour also features: • Ron Dormer Photography, also at the MJCC with the River Street Potters and Mud Pie Girls ª Laura Hamilton Art Studio at 128 Blue Sage Drive • Yvette Moore Gallery • Jess Zoerb at The Art House, 720 2nd Ave NE -XGH 5DGZDQVNL¶V )LUHÀ\ $UW -HZHOOHU\ at the Moose Jaw Museum & Art Gallery (MJMAG) • Dave Pelletier at the MJMAG • Nissa Gieni-Wareham of artisaNGrounds, Suite 423 of the Hammond Building downtown • Beth Barrett of One Sweet Dream Pottery at 1211 Fifth Avenue Northwest Moostletoe visitors should pick up a map and ‘passport’ book and try to make it to each location.

Johnson said the production will have 55 students on stage in a variety of roles from acting to backstage crews, and she wanted to acknowledge everyone’s hard work. “It takes a whole team of us to put a show like this on,” she said. “I want to acknowledge Josh Carley as our music director, Jasmine Stevens as our choreographer, and my co-director Scott Robertson who was the principal at our school last year,” Johnson said. Robertson, who is now retired, has returned to the school to stay on as the technical director. As the production has 55 students involved, Johnson wanted to give a special acknowledgement to costume designer Barb Slessor for all her hard work.

Hunter/Jumper Series Clears 2023 Hurdles By Robert Thomas
Another year is in the books for the Moose Jaw Exhibition Association’s Hunter/ Jumper Equestrian Series. In its second year the series - expanded from three to four shows after its inaugural year - had its up and downs as it is JRLQJ WKURXJK JURZLQJ SDLQV LQ ¿QGLQJ LWV place in the show circuit. The move to a four event series wasn’t as successful as it was hoped to be, show secretary Marci Perrin said. “We actually didn’t have a lot of crossover this year; we had 12 to maybe 18 riders that made it to more than two shows this year,” Perrin said. In order to qualify for the championships, riders and horses had to appear at two different shows. The move next year may be one headed to consolidating the number of shows to allow the individual shows to be bigger and better. It’s a more bang for your buck approach in a highly competitive equine cirFXLW ZKHUH \RX WU\ WR ¿QG WKH µ*ROGLORFNV¶ just right date to hold shows that compliment and not compete with other events. “We don’t have dates quite set in mind yet. The October date is likely to stay the
same with the potential of maybe bumping it ahead by a weekend,” she said. The reason for the potential one weekend change in the October show is a large Hunter/Jumper show in Alberta. “This way they can come to our show and then off to Alberta the next weekend if they choose to.” The June show, held in combination with the Moose Jaw Hometown Fair, is likely not be held next year.

We didn’t get the turnout we were hoping for.

Nature Moose Jaw hosts dinosaur talk by Royal Sask. Museum’s Dr. McKellar
Returning to regular meetings since the pandemic, Nature Moose Jaw aims to expand its local outreach through similar engagements Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express / MooseJawToday.com Nature Moose Jaw, formerly known as the Moose Jaw Nature Society, is once again hosting events after a long delay brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. “We are back up and running again after being in hibernation for two and a half years,” said Rich Pickering, president of Nature Moose Jaw. The organization’s latest event was recently held at the Kiwanis Lodge and focused on local paleontology. This was the second event planned since the pandemic and saw around 25 people in attendance. “This one is about Dr. Ryan C. McKellar, and he’s talking about dinosaurs and amber research in the province over the last year,” Pickering explained. The scope of the presentation was limited to the geographic region of Southern Saskatchewan. Dr. Ryan McKellar is the curator of paleontology at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum in Regina. Among his areas of specialization are amber inclusions and composition. Dr. McKellar’s work allows researchers to better understand Paleo forests and their inhabitants over time, thereby inferring

Nature Moose Jaw (the Moose Jaw Nature Society) has been around since the 1950s.
According to Pickering, the society is made up of “A group of people who are interested in nature… (and) in the plants, animals, and birds primarily in the Moose Jaw and surrounding area.” Pickering said the organization wishes to focus on being project driven. “We run the bird feeder down in Wakamow, so we’re trying to expand that a little bit,” he said, offering just one example of the organization’s ongoing projects. The group is also working on a project to document the plants found within the Wakamow Valley and Tatawaw Park regions. ³:H MXVW ¿QLVKHG XSGDWLQJ WKH ELUGV of the valley, so we now know over 200 species of birds have been found in the valley,” he said.

“And part of it is just having programs that appeal to different people.

The Kiwanis River Park Pavilion & Lodge is next to the skating oval and can be found by following River Drive into the Wakamow Valley. Further events will be planned on a once-a-month basis and will take place on the third Friday of each month. To contact Nature Moose Jaw, Rich Pickering can be reached at r.pickering@ shaw.ca.

But who sets such standards?

Eventually, etiqueta came to be applied to the court ceremonies themselves as well as to the documents which outlined their requirements. The French then expanded estiquette (eventually dropping the ‘s’) to indicate what is labelled as proper behaviour at the French court. By the middle of the 18th century English speakers started using etiquette, applying it to the rules that indicate the proper way to behave, whether in the presence of royalty or not. Over the years many books have been written about etiquette ,Q The Book of Good Manners: A Guide to Polite Usage for All Social Functions (1923), Frederick Martens dispenses a good deal of advice on which words and phrases are to be avoided by those who would appear well-bred in their conversations.

To help support our veterans and to honour the memory of those who gave their lives for Canada, the annual poppy campaign has distributed poppies for purchase at a variety of business locations and you can purchase a poppy with a donation of your choosing.
