Moose Jaw-opoly has taken the city by storm since it hit shelves in Wal-Mart about a month ago, quickly becoming a coveted collectable for locals.

The game features well-known locations around the city — including 15 Wing air base, Casino Moose Jaw, and of course Mac the Moose — but also local festivals, streets, schools and even businesses, like Maple Leaf Bakery.

The Monopoly style board game is part of an ongoing series from game company Outset Media, in partnership with Wal-Mart Canada. The idea was THE WEARHOUSE to produce games featuring Canadian communities and their individual land429 River St. W.

“We thought Moose Jaw, being an iconic, well-known Canadian town, would be a perfect fit,” said Outset Media’s senior vice-president Jean Paul Teskey.

Outset Media originally launched Moose Jaw-opoly with 720 copies available, which f lew off the shelves within 24 hours, rumours say.

But thankfully, another 180 copies of the popular game arrived at Wal-Mart last week, said Teskey, and the company has plans to produce more later this fall and closer to the holiday season.

“It was unbelievable how quickly it sold out, which is great. It’s so nice to see people embrace the idea, which is meant to be fun and a celebration of community,” said Teskey.

Launching a new board game isn’t usually a summer endeavor, admitted Teskey, but the previous success with small community launches paired with the increased interest in board games due to COVID-19 prompted Outset Media to

go ahead anyway.

“I think given the unusual conditions, with COVID-19 and people spending more time at home, we’ve had an incredible year with our sales,” said Teskey.

The games are produced in a North America factory, which is why there are limited quantities available, said Teskey.

This year, Moose Jaw and Regina are the Saskatchewan communities new to the Monopoly series, and the games will be a limited production item.

Outset Media will be moving on to produce new communities in Monopoly form after this fall, so Teskey says to grab a copy of Moose Jaw-opoly while you still can because they will be something entirely unique to 2020.

Wearing masks a ‘weird norm’ for students returning to school Jason G. Antonio, Moose Jaw Express

The first day of a new school year is usually fraught with nerves for parents, students and teachers, but this year has brought its fair share of uncertainty as youths return to school for the first time since March.

The usual sound of children frolicking on the playground before the beginning of classes was absent from William Grayson Elementary School on Sept. 8, as mask-wearing students and parents slowly trickled into the yard and toward the building while the principal and vice-principal welcomed back students and directed them to different doors.

After watching her son walk into the school, mother Alissa Nanowski explained there was excitement and nervousness in her household for this day. Her son was excited to return to school to hang out with his friends, meet his new Grade 1 teacher, and learn new topics. She, conversely, was a little nervous. “… but I also want to be confident in our school and in our teachers, that they’re doing the best they can because this is new for everybody,” she laughed. “We’ll all be as safe as we can be.”

Nanowski has read the back-to-school plan that Prairie South School Division created, noting with a chuckle that she read it every time the division updated the document.

“It does look OK. I think things may end up changing, that we (might) have to be adaptable,” she said, adding some parents might still decide to home-school their children.

Nanowski said she would miss having her son home during the day. She and her husband had considered home-schooling their son — they relied upon the work sent home from school during the spring — but she pointed out she’s not a teacher, and her child needs the social interaction with others to grow.

The first day was also nerve-wracking for mother Danielle Swain, whose daughter was also going into Grade 1.

The Moose Jaw mom was confident that school administrators had developed a suitable return plan — even if she couldn’t see it in action — but didn’t know how students would physically distance inside the building.

She knew that the plan was to keep students in cohorts, so she was confident her daughter would be fine as long as she didn’t wander the halls.

Although Swain was slightly nervous, her daughter was excited to get back to school even if she didn’t understand why there was so much hullabaloo. She only knew that she had to wear a mask.

“And we’ve been practising leading up to this, so yeah, it’s kind of a weird norm now,” laughed Swain.

Principal Robin Heshka was eager for the start of the new year, saying while there are nerves every year, the staff has come together and taken on new responsibilities to meet the new challenges.

“It’s been amazing. They all just joined together, became united and (we’re) doing what we need to do,” she said while excitedly welcoming students by name as they streamed into the school.

Heshka talked about some of the changes the school has made, including how students who arrive after 8:40 a.m. will trickle into the building, sanitize their hands and then have someone direct them to their classroom. The children will have to follow “the highway” — lines taped on the floor that ensure students stay on the right side of the hallway.

“Honestly, none of it is for the bad …,” she said. “There is good that will come out of this, for sure.”

Every classroom at William Grayson had its own firstday celebration since a school-wide assembly was not permitted, Heshka added. She then spent the morning visiting each class and saying hello since she couldn’t do it in one large group.

Sask. Ministry of Education confirms $51 million approved funding as schools return to classrooms Larissa Kurz, Moose Jaw Express

Deputy Premier and minister of education Gordon Wyant addressed details of the available emergency funding for school divisions on Sept 8, as students and staff across the province returned to classrooms for the first time since spring.

“I think school divisions have done a remarkable job in preparing for back to school, to ensure students and teachers are safe. This funding will certainly enhance their ability in a number of areas,” said Wyant, during a live video news conference on Sept. 8.

A total of $51 million in funding has already been approved for classrooms to use in providing a safe return to school, said a provincial press release, including $41 million provided from provincial funding and $10 million from school division savings.

Wyant broke down the details of the funding allotment, including: • $19.1 million for sanitization, including the hiring of 191 staff; • $6 million for equipment and furniture; • $13.2 million for supports for immunocompromised students, including the provision of 150 teachers and staff; • $9.5 million for increased distance learning capacity, including the addition of 102 teachers and staff; • and $4 million for technology upgrades.

The province is expecting to see a total of 443 additional staff to be hired, both teachers and custodial staff, in addition to the 200 additional staff expected to be hired as a result of increased funding in the 2020-21 budget.

“We know that a number of school divisions have already taken some steps to engage additional staff, not just with respect to sanitation but with respect to providing distance learning,” said Wyant.

Additional staff and funding will be distributed according to individual school divisions, said Wyant, and the hiring process is currently ongoing.

Wyant was unable to confirm if the additional staff will be utilized to lower classroom sizes, as he said the decision on how to implement staff will fall on individual school divisions.

The ministry also shared that there are no confirmed strategies on how to handle substitute teachers, although an increase in need is expected.

“School divisions have budgets for substitute teachers, and we really don’t know at the present time what the demand will be [but] we will continue to assess that as we go forward,” said Wyant.

The ministry has approved 46 applications to receive funding from school divisions, independent schools and historical high schools, with funding promises expected to be delivered soon. The next intake of applications will be due on Dec. 1.

A total of $64 million in the COVID-19 emergency fund remains available to schools, said Wyant.

“I think, what we’ve announced today is where I think priorities are not just for the Ministry of Education but for the school divisions,” said Wyant.

Considerations on the redistribution of grants to school divisions will also be delayed this year from September to January, to ensure proper enrollment numbers will be included.

Addressing concerns and details Wyant also addressed a number of questions and concerns during the video press conference, including the unrest about the province’s back to school plan over the past few weeks and the frustrations expressed by some teachers with the ministry’s approach to the plan’s re-

lease.

“Certainly there’s always relationships to work on in any scenario,” said Wyant. “There will always be some concern, and. . . I think we’ve accomplished that with our plan, certainly a flexible plan and one that will continue to evolve as the school year opens. But continuing to build relationships, enhance relationships with all our partners in education continues to be a priority for the ministry of education.”

The Ministry of Education calls potential outbreaks in schools “not un-inevitable,” said Wyant, but he is confident in the protocols in place to address those situations.

“What we’re encouraging people to do is continue to follow the very good advice of the chief medical health officer and public health,” said Wyant. “Certainly we have processes and procedures in place to ensure the safety of our staff and our students should that occur [but] continuing to follow advice around hand cleaning and social distancing will continue to be very important, not just in schools but in the community.”

Wyant also stated that the position of the Ministry of Education is that extracurricular activities can be allowed to go forward, provided they follow all the safety guidelines already in place from public health and the back to school plan.

Oversight from the ministry will be ongoing, with contact with school divisions to reassess plans as the school year progresses.

A total of $80 million from the Ministry of Education has been committed to the return to classrooms, said Wyant, including a commitment of $10 million to provide personal protective equipment to school divisions.

BIZWORLD

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

There’s gold ore buried under Moose Jaw and Saskatchewan There are gold deposits thousands of feet underneath Moose Jaw, under the sediments, under the layers of potash buried in mountains that are almost two billion years old.

The gold lies trapped in the Trans-Hudson Corridor. The corridor was created between 1.8 and 1.9 billion years ago when ancient continents collided with each other to eventually form North America.

The rock structure starts in South Dakota and flows up through Saskatchewan with a right turn north of La Ronge to James Bay in Manitoba.

One of America’s most prolific gold mines lies at the south end near Lead, South Dakota. The Homestake Mine produced 43.7 million ounces of gold and 9.9 million ounces of silver between 1937 and closure in 2002.

Erosion and volcanic activity have ex-

posed the Trans-Hudson structure in South Dakota.

The Trans-Hudson structure is covered until it gets to the Great Canadian Shield in Northern Saskatchewan where erosion and volcanic activity also exposed the old mountains.

Some 1,700 kilometres north of Lead, about 18 hours drive, the SeaBee mine has produced 1.5 million ounces of gold since 1991.

The La Ronge Gold Belt, as it is called, has produced another 600,000 ounces from several mines since the 1930s.

The eastern portion of the corridor in Manitoba has producing mines and a couple in construction. The Manitoba area has produced 3.5 million ounces of gold as byproduct from the Flin Flon area base metal mines.

Mining journals are labelling Saskatche-

wan as the next big gold district in Canada, given the possibilities.

Aside from the two SeaBee mines operated by SSR Mining, a number of companies have taken claims and are exploring for the metal, taking advantage of more than 400 known gold outcrops in the north.

One journal noted only $3.4 million of the $165 million spent in Saskatchewan on mining exploration was for gold. The rest was for potash and uranium.

Saskatchewan has been rated as a top mining-friendly jurisdiction, attracting explorers. The region has advantages: stable politics, mineral exploration incentives, roads and electricity access, and a skilled well-educated work force.

SSR Mining has five target projects north and west and adjacent to the SeaBee mines, located 125 km north of La Ronge.

Some have been optioned to other explorers.

At least four other companies are looking for gold in the region.

Of course, there are known deposits of more than one million ounces north of Lake Athabasca.

Saskatchewan may become rated as one of the country’s top gold mining districts along with the Abitibi Greenstone district of Ontario and Quebec (18.0 million ounces production), the Red Lake Ontario district (30 million ounces) and B.C.’s Golden Triangle, (5.3 million ounces).

Beef packers digesting backlog of fed cattle in Canada

By Ron Walter - For Agri-Mart Express

AGRIMART

EXPRESS The cattle market picture has improved since earlier this year when slaughter houses shut down or pared back processing over COVID-19 outbreaks.

“Things are much better than earlier this summer,” Canfax manager Brian Perillat told the Canadian Beef Industry Conference in a virtual presentation.

In April packers were down to slaughtering 20,000 head a week from the usual 70,000 head. There is still a 100,000 head

backlog awaiting slaughter.

Packers have increased slaughter rates and feeders deceased numbers on feed.

Fewer calves will come onto the fall market but September and October will be challenging as the fall run of calves hits the market.

Calf prices have held up well, he said.

Feeders, who lost $500 to $600 a head earlier this year, are still losing $200 to $300 a head.

Cattle herd numbers fall to 11.2 million head

By Ron Walter - For Agri-Mart Express

AGRIMART

EXPRESS The Canadian cattle herd continues to decline in numbers.

The latest cattle inventory from Statistics Canada shows cattle numbers dropped by 1.9 per cent last year to 11.2

million head.

That’s way off the high of 2005 when the herd was nearly 14 million head.

Alberta had the most cattle at 4.5 million head, a decline of 120,000 head.

Second largest herd was in Saskatchewan at 2.195 million head, a decrease of 30,000 head year over year.

Ontario with 1.583 million head declined by 21,000 head while Quebec

with 1.115 million head lost 10,000 head.

At one million head, Manitoba lost 30,000 head.

The outlook for a larger herd is poor as producers kept back less breeding stock in 2019. The number of breeding heifers was down 6.3 per cent to 515,000.

Beef cows declined 2.6 per cent; feeder heifers declined 1.9 per cent; and steer

numbers fell 7.1 per cent. Calf numbers increased 0.2 per cent to 3.7 million.

Fewer farms are producing beef with a 0.4 per cent decline to 72,700 farms.

Hog inventories fell 0.6 per cent to 13.9 million. Sheep and lamb numbers fell four per cent to 802,000 head.

Most Canadians surveyed oppose farm gate dumping of surplus food The majority of Canadians believe dumping of unsalable farm products should be illegal, according to a survey by Dalhousie University.

The survey was undertaken to reveal attitudes towards the farm gate dumping of milk and the euthanizing of pigs and chickens when the pandemic sharply reduced demand for these farm products.

The farm gate food waste included dumping 50 million litres of milk, discarding two million eggs, euthanizing 200,000 chickens and 90,000 pigs.

Between 48.3 per cent and 54.4 per cent of those surveyed believe such farm gate waste should be illegal.

In the survey 48.8 per cent think dumping milk should be illegal with the same attitude on euthanizing pigs by 53.5 per cent and 54.4 per cent agreeing that euthanizing chickens should be illegal.

Around one-quarter of respondents believed these dumping practices should be allowed under difficult circumstances such as a pandemic.

By Ron Walter - Moose Jaw Express

Between 12.8 per cent and 15.3 per cent agreed that farm gate dumping should be allowed whenever necessary.

Between 9.4 per cent and 10.7 per cent agreed farm gate dumping should be allowed under difficult circumstances like a recession.

Forty-eight per cent feel farmers should do whatever it takes to donate the food to charity but they should be compensated.

Just under 20 per cent believe the food should be donated without any compensation while 13.4 per cent believe farmers should stop producing so much.

Farmers should be treated like any other business that faces risks, according to 12.7 per cent.

And 6.7 per cent agreed farmers should dispose of any product they can’t sell even if that means wasting food or killing livestock.

The survey, taken in May about four weeks after the pandemic lockdown started, showed an increase of people with food insecurity. The number of house-

holds feeling they had enough of the foods they wanted fell to 61 per cent from 72.6 per cent the year before.

A separate Dalhousie survey taken in August indicates food waste in Canadian households has increased 13.5 per cent in a year.

The average household throws out just over five pounds of organic food waste (unavoidable and avoidable) every week. That amounts to $20 billion a year, or $1,766 per household.

Almost one-third of wasted food was left in the fridge or freezer too long while 15 per cent was past best before use dates. Almost 13 per cent preferred freshest possible food and threw out older food.

Three in 10 times food waste occurred because people did not finish their meals.

Ten per cent threw out food because they thought it might be contaminated by COVID-19.

There are lots of voices in this world screaming to be heard but sadly many don’t have the courage to put their name behind their words. I am referring to individuals who send random comments to the Moose Jaw Express about many different issues, seemingly as editorials wishing to bring some attention to their concerns but even after requests for their name to be included as the auJoan Ritchie thor don’t have the intestinal fortiEDITOR tude to put a name to it.

If you feel you have something worthwhile to say, own up to it!

I applaud those who are not afraid to kick against the status quo. Opinions matter even if we don’t always agree; that is our prerogative in a society that still allows individuals a voice.

A somewhat varying opinion says, *‘No, you’re not entitled to your opinion,’ but qualifies the comment with the statement, ‘you are only entitled to what you can argue for.’

In this, I agree, as well. There are many things in this world that individuals agree for/against that don’t make a lick of sense, like arguing that an ice cream flavour is much better than another. That can be chalked up to individual taste and choice; but if individuals have evidence to qualify their opinion based on some kind of knowledge or experience to argue their point, now you’re talking and there’s some clout behind the conversation.

It only states to reason that if we have an opposing opinion, then we should at least have an answer to why we have it. *theconversation.com/no-youre-not-entitled-to-your-opinion-9978 ************************************************ Nostalgic or what! I think everyone in town should own a copy of the Moose Jaw-opoly board game. During this time of COVID and with families a little more housebound that in years gone by, board games are a favourite. What a fun way to play and celebrate where we live in the here and now! ************************************************ I personally want to wish our good friend Tex Emery a Happy 90th Birthday. I met Tex shortly after moving to Moose Jaw and realized what a gem we have living in our community. As a renowned celebrity steel-guitar artist, humble and with a comedic edge in his conversation, he has continued to warm a place in our hearts over the years.

With a father who loves country music and plays the guitar, I grew up on the music Tex steels-out and it takes me back to those young years. Although I am not country by heart, I have learned to appreciate the skill of the artist, as well as realize that this beautiful form of music is now becoming rather extinct. He ‘steeled’ our hearts!

Here’s wishing Tex many more years of health and happy playing in the here-and-now…

Moose Jaw Police lay charges after assault on transgender teen Larissa Kurz, Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Police Service has laid charges against two individuals following an investigation into the assault of a transgender teen that took place in the early hours of the morning on Aug. 27.

As of Sept. 4, police said they have charged two young offenders regarding the incident, after announcing an investigation was underway on Sept.

3.

One offender has been charged with one count of assault with a weapon and one count of assault. The second offender has been charged with one count of assault.

The MJPS did not indicate in the press release whether investigators are considering the assault to be related to the victim’s gender identity.

The names of the young offenders cannot be released under the Youth

Justice Act, and both have been released on numerous conditions to appear in court at a later date.

Moose Jaw Police are thanking the public who came forward with information on the incident, and encourage anyone else with further information to contact the MJPS at 1 (306) 694-7600 or Crime Stoppers at 1 (800) 222-8477.

Peer navigator program from LGBTQ organizations offering COVID support for rural Sask.

Larissa Kurz, Moose Jaw Express

A new support program for LGBTQ+ individuals in communities across Saskatchewan is now up and running, thanks to a joint partnership between Regina’s UR Pride, Moose Jaw Pride and OUTSaskatoon.

The three organizations have come together to create four peer navigator positions, spread out across the province to help provide counselling and support services for LGBTQ+ communities who may be struggling due to the pandemic.

The program launched at the beginning of September, introducing peer navigators in Regina, Saskatoon and Yorkton, with the position in the far north region of the province remaining unfilled.

Peer navigator Laura Budd, who uses the pronouns she and her, is the representative serving the south region of the province. She will be working remotely from Yorkton in partnership with Moose Jaw Pride, but the program is really set up as a network of support across all three peer navigators.

“We’re a team,” said Budd. “The three of us working together can share the load, and we all have expertise, whether its work experience or education or our lived experience. We can help a large portion of our queer community because we are their peers, we’ve been through a lot of the things people are struggling with and we have the knowledge of the system they’ll need to support them.”

The goal is to provide supports and answer questions on any range of topics, said Budd, to help LGBTQ+ individuals with things they may be struggling with right now.

“We do everything from one-on-one peer support where a person calls in for just somebody to talk to, to [connecting] them to all of the services that are in place for them, that maybe they weren’t aware of or don’t know how to navigate or how to advocate for themselves,” said Budd.

This includes housing, employment, food security, transportation, mental wellness and even social isolation concerns, among others.

Working with a collective of volunteers across the province, all three peer navigators will be available up to 60 hours a week to provide support, skills and information on any issues affecting clients who reach out.

“We know people have an immediate need [right now].

People are in unsustainable housing, folks have lost their employment or are seeking employment in a difficult time, some are having challenges with finances,” said Budd. “That’s what we’re there for, to help them through that.”

As an initiative that began with UR Pride, the program is entirely free to access and funded through the federal emergency grant by way of Red Cross.

The idea for the program stemmed from concerns from Saskatchewan Pride organizations about a lack of accessible supports in rural areas of the province, alongside the expectation that LGBTQ individuals would be disproportionately impacted by COVID-19, both in terms of financial instability and concerns about social isolation.

“Some folks just don’t have that support, and we’re here to bridge that gap,” said Budd. “And we’re there to be that buffer as well, to ensure that those organizations, those supports and those people they do contact are queer-friendly and respectful as well.”

Each peer navigator brings with them a unique experience and set of skills to offer, said Budd, and the program will work provincially to ensure all LGBTQ+ people who reach out are properly supported.

“There are only three of us and we know this is a vast

Laura Budd is the new peer navigator for the southern part of the province, through a new program that includes Moose Jaw Pride. (supplied)

province, so we’re going to do our best to be as timely as possible in responding to calls and conversations to make sure people get what they need,” said Budd.

The new peer navigators will be providing services until November when the program ends, but Budd said the program isn’t considered to be a “short term solution.”

“We’re here to help if somebody is struggling right in the moment or for more long-term things,” said Budd. “I know this is a short-term project but we’re here to have a sustained impact, so we want folks to connect with the people they need to so our work can set them up for success in the future.”

A toll-free phone number to reach out to the program is in the works, along with more promotional information.

For now, those in the southern part of the province can reach out to Laura Budd by calling 1 (306) 795-5044 or emailing her at laura@moosejawpride.ca.

LETTERS TO THE

EDITOR

The rabid cancel culture types who pull down statues of our country’s founder, Sir John A. Macdonald love to talk about justice but they forget fundamental principles of justice like presumption of innocence and right to a defence. To them, if you are accused, you are guilty. It’s the mentality of a lynch mob.

They talk about “uncomfortable conversations”, but not if it makes them uncomfortable. What they in fact want are not conversations but mob rule and shouted obscenities. None of this does anything to accomplish the goals of either truth or reconciliation.

CANCEL CULTURE

They routinely ignore historical facts and any discussion of nuance. While no one disputes that First Nations suffered greatly under the early colonial policies of both Macdonald and Alexander Mackenzie, there are mitigating facts in Macdonald’s defence. He did not invent residential schools; they had been in existence since 1831. Under his government, attendance at the schools was voluntary, not compulsory. In the latter days of his government, he acknowledged the tragedy of early policies to restrict food aid and, before he left office, had nearly tripled the Indian Affairs budget.

There can be no doubt that Canada’s history of residential schools and other racist policies are dark chapters of our past for which our nation must atone. But that is a burden and a blame we share collectively. To simplistically dump this blame on the head of a historical figure who is not here to defend himself is nothing more than scapegoating.

As I observe the never ending flow of information about Covid-19 I continue to see how the spirit of fear is being generated throughout our country. And yet, if one stops to think for a moment, all the worry in the world cannot control the future.

What are some of the symptoms of this spirit of fear: Anxiety, worry, depression, isolation, and fear of getting sick or dying?

Some now fear every person is carrying an infectious disease and should be avoided at all costs or a least everything they touch sanitized. People are paying a pretty high price for this spirit of fear.

At the inauguration of U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the midst of the Great Depression he said: “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”

If government continues to perpetuate this spirit of fear over Covid-19 we can expect more people to suffer from depression, anxiety and loneliness.

It seems governments are doing their best to destroy social relationships and the human spirit in our country. I know people who are still locked up in their ‘security bubble’, fearful of getting Covid. They have, for all intent and purpose, stopped living.

People need to realize loneliness and emptiness can become a self-dooming trap that can only be broken by leaving the comfort zone of fear and realizing that being social with others is one of the keys to staying healthy.

I’m sure there are advantages to self-isolation, but one needs to be careful about the side effects that come with it. One being it allows the spirit of fear to thrive.

Lately the spirit of fear has been fueled by the question: is it safe to return to school? Asking the question over and over instills fear and anxiety into our children, their parents and our teachers. It has the same effect as hammering away at the Covid numbers every day which elevates fear and anxiety in

some people.

A July 29, 2020 news release from Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children says, “…strict physical distancing should not be emphasized to children in the school setting as it is not practical and could cause significant psychological harm. Close interaction, such as playing and socializing, is central to child development and should not be discouraged.”

While tunnel vision has captured the political and media minds, it seems illnesses that contribute to higher death rates are being ignored. The Heart and Stroke Foundation notes 72,000 people die from heart and stroke disease every year in Canada. The Canadian Medical Association Journal states 82,000 die from cancer every year, and 225,000 new cancer cases are expected in 2020.

Covid is real and wearing masks in certain situations is helpful, but if masks are as effective as some would lead us to believe, why did the government shut down our economy rather than telling us to wear masks? Oh, I forgot, science is an evolving thing.

One thing we know for sure about masks is they remove facial expression and identification. The smile that once brought joy to those who are shut-in, lonely, or just looking for a friendly face is no longer available. Covering our faces with masks removes individual identity. We no longer recognize others.

Humans are social beings by nature, and yet somehow politicians are sold on more social distancing. Even though the Covid curve has been flattened some grandparents have not seen their grandchildren in months; some of our young people have not seen their friends. People in hospitals are not allowed visitors, unless they are dying. And long term care residents are limited to a few designated visitors. We need to realize social contacts have a stimulating effect on the mind and person-

ality. It’s our contact with others that challenges our minds and helps to develop our character. It’s also healthy in many other areas of human development and well-being.

The spirit of fear is alive and well and being fuelled every day.

If we’re not careful we will allow government leaders to affect our well-being under the guise of what they like to call the ‘new norm’ and our safety.

Politicians contribute to the spirit of fear through their own actions. The House of Commons and provincial Legislatures did not sit full house over the last several months because of Covid-19, yet the very politicians think businesses should open under government guidelines, young people and teachers should go back to school, and people should register to go to church. It makes a person wonder if government really knows what it is doing in making regulations or providing guidelines.

Just another example of how the spirit of fear is fuelled. Politicians should lead by example.

We need to step back and take a look at what is really happening. We’re being hammered with information that is destroying the very fabric of human relationships. Gradually the spirit of fear being created by our governments and the media is taking away what once were considered basic freedoms and rights.

Are we not intelligent enough to know how to protect ourselves and still live a healthy lifestyle?

If you’re living in a bubble or continually living behind a mask, please understand that someone misses seeing you. We also miss seeing our elected representatives sitting in the House of Commons and Provincial Legislatures.

TRADING THOUGHTS

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

The wealthiest 25 families on the planet own one per cent of the wealth Wealth is pursued or desired by most people for it brings influence, power and capacity for the wealthy to do what they want.

In today’s society there are more wealthy people than ever but most of the wealth has been accumulated in a short time. The billionaires in China and the oligarchs of Rusby Ron Walter sia, the Silicon Valley moguls have only been accumulating wealth for a generation or two.

These relative newcomers are considered filthy rich, but what do you call the wealth accumulated by generations?

The Visual Capitalist’s infographic of the world’s 25 richest families indicates they own between them $1.4 trillion US wealth.

In 2019 Canada’s gross domestic product, by comparison, was $1.3 trillion in U.S. dollars.

The 25 richest families come from 11 countries, led by

eight from the U.S.A., three each from Germany and France.

Canada has one, the Thomson family, which made its money in the newspaper business before switching to the paid information technology domain.

The Thomson family ranks 11th on the list with $40.6 billion wealth in U.S. dollars. That’s just over twice the Saskatchewan government’s annual budget.

The Walton family of Walmart fame is the wealthiest with $215 billion amassed over three generations.

The Mars family of the chocolate bar fame is second with $120 billion.

Koch Industries, the family that makes millions by buying Canadian crude oil below market price and refining it, ranks third with $109.7 billion.

Saudi Arabian industrialists, the Al Saud family has amassed $95 billion while in fifth the Ambani family of India has $81.3 billion from Reliance Industries operating in energy, chemicals, textiles communications and natural resources.

French luxury goods maker the Hermes family has built $63.9 billion while the Chanel family of perfume fame has $54.4 billion.

The Johnson family of Boston’s Fidelity Mutual Funds has $46.3 billion.

Animal health has paid off for the Boehringer family of Germany with $45.7 billion, while the Albrecht family of Germany has amassed $41 billion through supermarkets.

Health care built a $40.6

billion fortune for Switzerland’s Hoffman family.

French department stores built a $38.4 billion fortune for the Mulliez family.

Agriculture is the basis of the Cargill family’s $38.1 billion fortune while the SC Johnson family found consumer goods in Johnson and Johnson made them $37.3 billion.

Beer flowed $36.8 billion wealth into three families in Belgium.

The Quandt family of Germany has $34.7 billion from BMW’s auto business.

The Cox family of Georgia built a $38.1 billion nest egg from newspapers.

In England the Rausing family has $32.9 billion from developing the Tetrapak.

New York’s Newhouse family accumulated $31 billion in the media business.

In Malaysia, food and agriculture served as the basis for the Chearavonant family’s $30.7 billion.

The Ferrero family of Italy amassed $30.5 billion selling confections like Ferrero chocolate.

The Kwok family of Hong Kong has $30.4 billion from real estate while the Pritzker family of Chicago amassed $29.6 billion from Hyatt Hotels.

Last on the top 25 list is the Lee family of South Korea with a mere $29 billion from diversified industrial Samsung.

Together these 25 families own just under one per cent of global wealth. The average family wealth on the plant amounts to $3,000US. And we wonder why people rebel against the filthy rich.

Pent up demand apparently pushed up sales of Moose Jaw real estate during August.

The surge in demand saw the median home price increase 6.9 per cent to $210,000 in August, according to the monthly report by the Saskatchewan Realtors Association.

Year to date median home prices are only 0.4 per cent below last year’s level after eight months.

Sales in August increased 12.2 per cent month-over-month from 63 units to 82, with sales volume up 12.6 per cent to $12.25 million.

The number of new listings fell to 79 from 95. The sales to listing ratio was 69.9 per cent, indicating this is a seller’s market. Inventory was 4.3 months worth of sales, 36 per cent below last year.

Houses stayed on the market an average 59 days, down from 67 days in 2019.

COVID-19 “doesn’t appear to have turned people off from buying and selling,’’ association CEO Jason Yochim

said in a news release.

Across the province year-over-year sales were up 46 per cent, listings increased five per cent and the median price was up seven per cent.

Sales were up in 14 of 19 markets.

Median home price year to date in Moose Jaw of $213,875 is fourth highest of nine major markets.

Highest median home prices are Saskatoon, $329,45; Regina, $291,5412 and Swift Current, $233,569.

Following Moose Jaw are Prince Albert, $205,604; Yorkton, $204,781; Melfort, $184,469; North Battleford, $174,43; and southeast Saskatchewan.$165,562.

Saskatchewan communities to receive $70M in additional funding Moose Jaw Express Staff

Communities across Saskatchewan will receive funds to help fight back against COVID-19.

Last week, Government Relations Minister Lori Carr announced that Saskatchewan’s portion of the federal Safe Restart Canada Plan for municipal governments will begin to be distributed immediately to Saskatchewan municipalities.

The total amount is approximately $70.32 million.

“As Saskatchewan returns to a new normal, this is another important investment to help municipalities and their residents weather the storm,” Carr said in a press release. “This funding will support efforts to protect health and safety, prepare for potential future waves of

COVID-19, and facilitate the safe re-opening of economies.”

This funding includes $62.26 million in general municipal support on a per capita basis, with a further $8.07 million allocated to municipal public transit support for the four cities with transit systems, based on ridership.

The City of Moose Jaw will receive $2,182,841. This includes $2,021,674 in general support and $161,167 for transit.

Other local communities will receive the following: • Assiniboia, $144,601; • Caronport, $59,296;

• Chamberlain, $5,369; • Craik, $23,384; • Gravelbourg, $64,605; • Mortlach, $15,570; • Tuxford, $6,741.

This federal funding was matched by $150 million dollars announced previously from the Government of Saskatchewan in the Municipal Economic Enhancement Program.

Earlier this spring, the province also fast-tracked $278 million in Municipal Revenue Sharing.

The ministry will be contacting all municipalities directly with details about their specific allocation.

Moose Jaw Community Players staying offstage until spring Larissa Kurz, Moose Jaw Express

Joining the ranks of many other annual events in the city, the Moose Jaw Community Players have decided to cancel their November show and fundraiser due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns.

President Jarrod Jeanson and the rest of the group are disappointed to be making the announcement, but board members agreed that it was the right decision to be making.

“For the Moose Jaw Community players, the executive decided to hold off on putting anything on this year and reevaluate in the new year, just for the safety of the audience,” said Jeanson.

As a non-profit organization, the fall show is the theatre company’s biggest fundraiser of the year and tons of work goes into every production — meaning it would be very detrimental both financially and emotionally to plan a show and have safety precautions force them to cancel last minute.

“With a group of actors and directors, and writers and producers, we want to do it and we’re excited to do it [but] you don’t want to put on a show and lose a

pile of money because of COVID restrictions,” said Jeanson.

Planning a production with limited audience seating also poses a roadblock, as the group would need the fall show to be big enough to raise funds for the year.

A series of smaller shows was also a consideration, but ultimately didn’t solve the group’s concerns about safety and viability.

Things are now on hold for the Community Players, admitted Jeanson, with the earliest return to activity potentially set for some time in the new year.

Jeanson said the Community Players may consider alternatives to a full theatre of spectators if pandemic concerns persist into the spring, such as distanced seating in the audience or hosting a video live stream of the production, but the logistics of making such a huge shift are something best left to the future.

“The natural theatre experience is gone or missing for now,” said Jeanson. “But I know that our members are all wanting to do something and they’re excited to do something, but we’re just limited right now.”

Moose Jaw police seize cocaine, firearm after vehicle flees downtown Larissa Kurz, Moose Jaw Express

90 year old celebrates birthday and strikes one off his bucket-list Joan Ritchie - Moose Jaw Express

In the spirit of the occasion and under sunny skies and COVID guidelines, family and friends got together to celebrate the much loved and renowned local celebrity-entertainer Tex Emery at his 90th Birthday Celebration. Although his actual birthday was September 6th, the celebration took place at Wakamow oval in Moose Jaw on August 29th with his wife Bonnie, five kids and eight grandchildren attending, as well as a very few friends to make up the limited attendance due to pandemic gathering- restrictions. The food was catered by Charlotte’s Catering, and “amazing as always,” according to Bonnie.

On the weekend, Tex also had the opportunity to conquer his fear of the water and man a sailboat on Lake Diefenbaker, checking another one off his ‘bucket list’. His wife’s account of the experience is as follows: “Friend Ron Hunchak of Moose Jaw sails out of Palliser - Rusty’s Cove on Lake Diefenbaker and was the utmost in patience and explained how his sailboat operated, which made ‘Mr. Deathfully Afraid Of Water’ more comfortable.

“The first day we stayed tied to the pier with Tex standing behind the wheel.

“The next day our friend Penny McCune from Regina came along and off we went. Tex was shaking and kept saying, ‘why do people like this?’ But after some Cheezies and Ginger Ale, he actually took the wheel and sailed for over an hour! He even pulled an unexplained U-turn! Another sailboat pulled up and wanted to “talk to Tex about his life” in the middle of the lake.

“What a memorable way to start his 10th Decade!”

On all accounts, although Tex’s fame as a prolific steel guitar player is international, he is also greatly loved and appreciated within the community, throughout the province and across the country. With his charming demeanor and comedic ways, he has warmed his way into the hearts of those he meets, especially the ladies of all ages from the young to the young-at-heart 80+ who couldn’t wait to line up for a hug before the pandemic.

Although a very humble man, his fame as a steel guitarist has taken him through a wide genre of music throughout his lifelong career from country to jazz, blues, rock, Hawaiian, to even working with a symphony orchestra. With a God-given talent and selftaught, he began playing professionally with Canada’s Cowboy Troubadour Stu Davis and then had the opportunity to play with country legend Hank Snow performing for King George during his visit to Canada. The following year, Tex performed with Wilf Carter at the Calgary Stampede. His portfolio continues to include a few shows done with Chet Atkins at the Grand Ole Opry, performances on Hee Haw, work with the Jordanaires that backed Patsy Cline and Elvis, a show with Gene Autry, playing with jazz guitar legend Lenny Breau, Don Ho, Don Messer and Tommy Hunter, as well as working with acoustic instrumentalist George Longard from Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. His local opportunities to share his prowess include working with the Rusty Augers and Men Without Shame, as well as with Saskatchewan entertainer Brenda Lee Cottrell performing memorable music of the legendary 60s ladies, and many others.

Even as of recent days, he has continued to lay down CD’s as a remembrance of the magic of the steel gui-

Tex Emery and family gathered together for his 90th birthday celebration.

Years ago, Tex and Bonnie organized the kids according to their ages like a baseball team, with Tex and Bonnie as coach and asst. coach. Bonnie says it was “kinda funny to see them trying to put these on now.” tar as he performs the music of yesteryear.

Tex would like to thank all those who sent him birthday greetings, cards and attended his 90th Birthday Party.

It is with much love that we all wish Tex Emery a

All the individuals wearing t-shirts behind Tex and Bonnie reveal pics of Tex during various life stages.

The pics were discussed, as his Vancouver daughter Sandra (seated to the left of Bonnie and Tex) asked, “Dad what’s this one?”

Happy Birthday and many more years of health and happiness until he is called to the Great Beyond to entertain the angels and all the saints that have gone on before him.

Strength and Resilience MLA’s Column

Warren Michelson

Moose Jaw North

Warren Michelson, MLA

The strength and resilience of Saskatchewan people, businesses, industries and community organizations is very evident as we weather the many challenges of this time. In my tenure as an MLA, I have become more and more convinced that, given the opportunity, the people of Saskatchewan are creative, compassionate, innovative and determined. Recent events and statistics have highlighted this.

Thank you to everyone in our education system who have made it possible for our children to be back in the classroom. My grandchildren, like many students, were excited to be back at school with their friends. I know much deliberation and hard work went into ensuring a safe and successful year for our K-12 and post-secondary students.

It is encouraging to see progress towards construction

of Moose Jaw’s new South Hill elementary school. The latest updates on Holy Trinity and Prairie South School Division websites indicate that the Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Moose Jaw is underway. A design/project schedule has been completed, and planning is underway regarding roads and traffic impacts.

The first earth will be moved this week for the Great Plains Power Station in Moose Jaw. KMS Construction from Tuxford was awarded the contract for the road upgrades. This project supported by the City Council and City Administration will bring about a power plant that will benefit Moose Jaw and Saskatchewan for years to come.

The strength and resilience of our province is evident in the way we are rebounding from the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Recent employment numbers show Saskatchewan has the lowest unemployment rates in Canada, at 7.9 per cent, well-below the national average of 10.2 per cent. Saskatchewan’s employment is now at 95.7 per cent of its pre-pandemic level in February.

Export and retails sales in Saskatchewan are up, not just month-over-month but year-over-year. July export numbers were up 9 per cent from July 2019. Nationally, exports were down 12.5 per cent. The value of retail sales in Saskatchewan increased 7.9 per cent in June 2020 compared

to June 2019, which was the third highest percentage increase in Canada. Our province is performing quite well.

I have had the privilege of getting to know many of the incredible people in our community – people who have created positive change. These individuals deserve recognition for their efforts. Nominations are being accepted for the Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal and the Saskatchewan Order of Merit. The Saskatchewan Volunteer Medal is awarded to a citizen that goes above and beyond for their community in a volunteer capacity. The deadline to nominate someone is October 18th. You may know someone deserving of such recognition.

The Order of Merit recognizes individual excellence and achievement in areas such as the arts, business and industry, community leadership, professions, public service, and volunteer service. Nominations for the Order of Merit must be submitted by November 1st. Any individual or group may nominate someone for either of these awards.

Please consider nominating someone online at www.saskatchewan.ca/government/heritage-honours-and-awards.

So many individuals and organizations in our province have overcome obstacles, yet carry on to make life better for others and our province. It is this kind of strength and resilience that keeps Saskatchewan vibrant and growing.

In the 12 years since Journey to Hope and their suicide prevention campaign began, their ongoing advocacy for mental health and helping those in the darkest of mental places has undoubtedly saved many lives.

On Sept. 10 Moose Jaw officially declared World Suicide Prevention Day locally with the hope that awareness and progress in preventing suicide will only become stronger as time goes on.

Part of that plan involves seeing more and more people learning through online resources and Journey to Hope’s continuing work – with their recent Getting Loud for Mental Health campaign taking things further and further in a positive direction.

“This day and this entire month, we spend a lot of energy trying to inform people and provide resources, encourage people to become trained and offer opportunities to people to share their stories,” said Della Ferguson with Journey to Hope.

The Getting Loud campaign came out of a meeting with an individual who said they were struggling and weren’t sure of the resources for mental health and suicide prevention in Moose Jaw. They were unaware of Journey to Hope and their ongoing work, which led to an important realization for the charity.

“That told me we weren’t being loud enough,” Ferguson said.

“So we needed to get louder, and that person has come on board and helped us get loud.”

In addition to increased advertising around the city and a strong social media presence, the group officially launched a new project on Sept. 10.

Journey to Hope member Nicole Hebert has headed up a program where participants can be interviewed or submit videos talking about dealing with mental health challenges and suicide, with the idea of helping others see they aren’t alone.

As part of their campaign to Get Loud for Mental Health, Journey to Hope has purchased several electronic ads around the city.

“This is one of the things, the storytelling breaks the stigma and breaks the silence,” Ferguson said. “So the more we talk about it, the more we normalize it and people see they’re not alone in their struggle; there are ways to reach out and it’s okay and good to reach out.”

The videos have already been filmed and were posted on World Suicide Prevention Day, and anyone interested in helping with the project can reach out through Facebook or contact the organization through their website at journeytohope.synthasite. com.

Journey to Hope also has a series of free online courses that can be found on their Facebook page, including an hour-anda-half education program on suicide awareness and prevention from LivingWorks Start along with the Tattered Teddies course about suicide in children and Straight Talk about pre-

Then there’s the Make Froats Row fundraiser that will be entering its third year and will take place on Sept. 19, featuring local athlete and coach Dawn Froats taking to a rowing machine and covering 100 metres for every $10 raised. Last year the event brought in $9,100.

And finally, there’s the event the organization is named for, the Journey to Hope itself.

This year the event will take place on Sept. 26 at the Crescent Park amphitheatre, beginning at 10 a.m. with music and raffle sales, the ceremony from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and reflective walk through Crescent Park at 11:30 a.m.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions masks will be required and pledges will need to be turned in prior to the event as cash will not be handled the day of.

Elks lodge gives donation to help resident get his smile back Jason G. Antonio, Moose Jaw Express

When Dave Claffey smiles or bites into a juicy steak, he’ll have the Moose Jaw Elks to thank for ensuring he has a set of teeth that fits just right.

Claffey has health issues in his throat that required him to receive radiation and chemotherapy. The side effect of this treatment is it weakened his teeth, which meant they were more likely to fall out and leave him without a full set of chompers.

This is where the Moose Jaw Elks and the Saskatchewan Elks Association stepped in. Since Claffey was facing financial troubles, both organizations provided $3,000 for Claffey to have his teeth pulled and new dentures fitted. The Moose Jaw lodge covered 10 per cent — or $300 — of the cost, while the provincial lodge covered the rest through its foundation.

Sitting in a dentist’s chair at Main Street Dental Clinic on Sept. 9, Claffey flashed a smile to show off his new dentures. He acknowledged that it was exciting to have a new set of pearly whites.

“It’s better than not,” he chuckled, adding the dentures don’t feel too bad in his mouth.

Dr. Kell Viczko, who assisted with the procedure, pointed out it will take some time for Claffey to become used to the new dentures since they are a foreign object in his mouth.

Before the chemo and radiation began, the dental

again, explained Melanie Hopkinson, treatment co-ordinator. Now that he is wearing them, they look amazing in his mouth.

“I like it when a woman compliments me,” joked Claffey.

Chris Svab, president of the Saskatchewan Elks Association, explained the organization has a foundation to help kids up to age 18 with health issues, while it has another foundation to help adults. The organization has supported a few Moose Javians over the years, including purchasing a handicap van for an individual.

“It’s nice to get help. If I needed it, I would appreciate it,” Svab said. “It (the funding) was there, and so he (Claffey) applied and he got it.”

The Moose Jaw Elks usually supports other community organizations every year, such as the food bank and Hunger in Moose Jaw, and it creates scholarships for high school students. In 2019 the local lodge donated more than $30,000 to various groups.

However, Svab pointed out the club won’t donate too much this year since it hasn’t had much chance to fundraise. Some fundraisers included volunteering at the air show, car shows and holding a football pool.

“We have 54 lodges in the province and all of them are hurting,” he added. “But, we’re still here.”

Most harvest yields lower than anticipated in Saskatchewan

Moose Jaw comes through again:

800 CHAB venture sees tone of donations to honour of city’s Healthcare Heroes and support for F.H. Wigmore Hospital critical care equipement Randy Palmer, Moose Jaw Equipment

It would have been easy for the 800 CHAB Family First Radiothon to have lowered expectations this year, to have set the bar a little lower when it came to fundraising goals and settled for a total far lower than they’ve seen in past years.

When you’re in the middle of a pandemic and have been out of a lockdown that cost jobs all over the province for only a couple of months, not only is money tight, there are plenty of distractions that might keep people from donating to Moose Jaw Health Foundation fundraiser…especially when the whole venture was postponed from its usual time in the spring and delayed by almost six months.

But something happened over that time.

People paid attention to the health system a little bit more. Those who went to the F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital saw the nurses, doctors and staff working to save lives and help others in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

And when the time came, Moose Jaw decided to do all it could to help their Healthcare Heroes, to the tune of $241,802.

Not the highest total ever raised, and $50,000 less than last year but a small miracle, all the same.

“This year truly was a special year,” said MJHF executive director Kelly McElree. “What I know about this community is when there are tough times, we buckle down here in Moose Jaw and throughout the surrounding communities; we heard loud and clear how, regardless of the level of COVID, they were so thankful for the level of care we have locally.

“Our healthcare workers didn’t miss a beat and it

was clear they needed some help with critical care equipment at the hospital and want to give our heroes the best. This Radiothon truly shows that Moose Jaw pulls together.”

The event began last Thursday morning and ran for 36 hours straight, with 800 CHAB radio personalities staffing the special COVID-protected set-up of plexiglass shielding and social distancing markers at the Town ‘N’ Country Mall.

In addition to calling in their donations and submitting funds through the MJHF website, folks also showed up in person to not only give money, but also thanks for the hard work from everyone involved.

“So many people come up and made donations, because quite frankly, they want to bring that normal back,” McElree said. “Everyone at Golden West Radio did such a fantastic job of making things safe with a plexiglass screen, all the sanitizers and social distancing. And that’s because we have the greatest volunteers and the level of support… look at the people coming up here (as the Radiothon wrapped up), all of them with masks, they just want to show how much they care and appreciated this so much.”

The donations that were made came from all over and in all sizes. Chief among them was the $20,000 matching donation made by Canadian Pacific, along with $8,000 from the ACT/UCT service club at the start of the show and a $3,000 from the Moose Jaw Chinese Association. Even the Hospital Auxiliary – which has been shuttered due to the pandemic – found a way to donate $7,500.

The 800 CHAB Family First Radiothon raised an impressive $241,802 this year. Pictured are Moose Jaw Health Foundation executive director Kelly McElree alongside CHAB’s Teagan Witko, Barry Vice and Rob Carnie, all who spent many an hour on air during the event.

“We had big groups, small groups, everyone was making donations, and many of them were anonymous as well… I could just go on and on,” McElree said. “We’re just thankful for the donations and support during an ongoing pandemic, it’s an extraordinary time, but this is an extraordinary community.”

All funds will stay in Moose Jaw, and will be used to purchase the aforementioned critical care equipment, including new cardiac monitors, a telemetry monitoring system, defibrillator and crash cart, Holter monitor and chemotherapy chairs.

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS

By Joyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Commercials highlight summer TV viewing It is unusual for our household to be tied to the television during the summer months.

Of course, this has not been a normal summer and as a result we have found ourselves spending more time in our TV room, watching Joyce Walter news, documentaries, music For Moose Jaw Express flashback programs as part ronjoy@sasktel.net of PBS solicitations, re-runs of shows we don’t usually watch in the regular season, reruns of shows we have watched in previous years, even bits and pieces of city council activities.

And on Saturdays we have spent considerable hours binge-watching the show, The Closer, having now seen most of the episodes, not always in order, through the show’s seven seasons.

Much to Housemate’s horror, I have re-watched some of those Christmas movies on the W channel, along with shows related to Valentine’s Day, winter in the country, summer in the country and love renewals where they all began.

What I haven’t done yet is tune into the Shopping Channel for there isn’t much I need and with only an extra

$300 from PM Trudeau, there’s not a lot of disposable cash sitting there waiting to be spent. There is still no need in our household for those magic frying pans that never stick or burn and will withstand a cook armed with a hammer.

But of course in the midst of our summer viewing pleasure are the commercials that we most often ignore in favour of grabbing a snack, or checking e-mails or taking clothes out of the dryer. But a few have stuck this summer.

The creative folks who came up with the summer air conditioning commercials, Dads in Briefs, are to be paid homage for getting the message across while using family dynamics.

There may be more but two have captured our attention and make us laugh every time. The first is the youngster wanting the TV remote only to see it slightly buried by her father who is wearing minuscule underwear because it is hot indoors. He kindly hands her the device but she is hesitant to accept it - probably thinking it needs a shot of sanitizer.

The second features two young boys, bowls in hand, heading to the freezer for ice cream. Imagine their surprise when dad is found already in the freezer, trying to escape the heat of the day.

Sorry, but for the life of me, without research, I cannot re-

call the air conditioning company being advertised. Oops.

Our other favourite commercial of summer is for an automobile, one driven by a businesswoman whose phone reminds her about dinner that night with some friends.

She assumes it is adult company she will be feeding and plans appropriately. It isn’t until her husband starts to remind her, then she opens the door and is confronted by two “kids.” The light bulb goes on.

The part we love best is when the little girl asks: “Where’s the pizza?” in the tone of voice that only a youngster can accomplish. Again, the make and model of the car escape me.

And in anticipation of a new viewing season, we laugh when shows are promoted with the promise that they are “coming soon.”

Not soon enough because come to think of it, Christmas is coming and there might be something on the Shopping Channel that someone in the family might enjoy. Maybe a frying pan?

SALUTE TO

Agriculture Upcoming Agriculture Month filled with events from numerous Sask. organizations Larissa Kurz, Moose Jaw Express

Saskatchewanians are being encouraged to think about how agriculture intersects with their own food during Agriculture Month in October. (file photo)

October is Agriculture Month in Saskatchewan, and the celebration will be in full swing this year with a calendar of pandemic-approved events from Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan and other industry partners.

The #CelebrateAg campaign will kick off on Oct. 1, with an online launch of events on the Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan Facebook page that will continue throughout the month to celebrate agriculture and Saskatchewan producers.

The purpose of declaring a time to celebrate the industry is to share how important agriculture is within the province, said Farm & Food Care executive director Clinton Monchuk, and to offer a chance to answer questions and debunk myths.

“When it comes to the importance of this, you don’t have to look very far to see how prominent agriculture is and how many jobs here in Saskatchewan depend on agricul-

ture,” said Monchuk, who is a producer himself. “And we have such a great history of agriculture in this province, so it’s a great opportunity to talk a little bit more about farming and celebrate farming.”

Social media is going to play a large role in this year’s celebration, as organizers have focused on adapting popular in-person events to a post-COVID format — which means lots of videos, photo contests and hashtags.

“The Facebook live events are going to be a good opportunity for people to just ask questions to a farmer,” said Monchuk.

On Oct. 2, Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan will host a Facebook live tour of a local chicken barn operated by farmer Tiffany Martinka, followed by the launch of a new Canadian Food Focus In Season Guide to Canadian Food on Oct. 12.

The Sask Cattleman’s Association will then be joining Canadian Food Focus to host an online cooking class featuring beef as the ingredient of choice on Oct. 15, and SaskBarley will follow up with a cooking class on Oct. 23 called Cooking with Beer featuring chef Andrea Buckett.

Throughout the whole month, Farm & Food Care is also encouraging Saskatchewan residents to engage the campaign on social media by posting a photo related to farming, food or agriculture and tagging it with #CelebrateAg. Every hashtagged post will be entered to win a $250 gift card from Federated Co-op. “[We want] people to post on social media using that hashtag and to share their passion about food and farm-

ing,” said Monchuk. “If you’re not from a farming background, talk about what passion you have for food [because] as a society we’ve maybe become a little disconnected to things like farming, but we’re all connected to food.”

Farm & Food Care is also encouraging individuals to plan their own events to celebrate Agriculture Month, to promote the industry even further, and to check out any of the resources available on its website at farmfoodcaresk. org.

This includes links to learn more about Agriculture in the Classroom and its mission to share agriculture with schoolchildren or to take online interactive farm tours with FarmFood360, and more.

Farm & Food Care is excited to take the reins this October and to be able to partner with so many other organizations who are just as excited about Saskatchewan agriculture.

“I think it really shows the support of the industry, to have partnered with [so many groups],” said Monchuk.

“It’s really great to have that recognition and support, not only from the province but from farmers, the agriculture industry and consumers, to celebrate something all about food and farming.”

To keep up with the events for Agriculture Month and #CelebrateAg, Monchuk says to follow Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan’s Facebook page.

In the meantime, stay tuned to the Moose Jaw Express / Moose Jaw Today for more stories about local agriculture industry experts leading up to October.

Families For Change employment program back in action with expansion Larissa Kurz, Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw Families for Change, much like the rest of the city, were hasty to close doors and limit programming this spring when coronavirus surged, but the organization’s Imagine Employment program is finally back in the swing — and expanding.

MJFFC recently put a call out for resumes from individuals in the community interested in joining the popular program, which offers an opportunity for folks of varying disabilities to pursue employment and gain some experience and skills.

“We’re at the point where we have different [COVID-19] protocols in place, where we can ensure the safety of anyone engaging in the program, so now we’re ready to open our doors to any applicants who feel they would be able to benefit from Imagine Employment,” said Katie Bookout, community coordinator with MJFFC. The Imagine Employment program currently has work opportunities in two places in the city, the Kinsmen Cafe on South Hill and in the kitchens at Victoria Towers.

“We have a lot of very excited folks in our program and it’s just really awesome to be able to modify each person’s participation in the program based on their needs and their wants, and what their goals are through employment,” said Bookout.

The Kinsmen Cafe reopened for service on June 16, open seven days a week, and the program has returned to work at Victoria Towers as well.

Through the MJFFC’s partnership with the Moose Jaw Housing Authority, program members will be taking on some more duties after the expansion.

Imagine Employment launched last year as a new initiative from MJFFC and was greeted with plenty of interest from the community, so Bookout is hoping to see some of that interest revive now that the program is expanding.

“When we started last year, there was a lot of buzz and a lot of applications, and we could only accept so many folks at once to ensure we’re providing the appropriate coaching and staffing models,” said Bookout. “So I’m definitely excited to be able to add a few more folks to our program, for sure.”

The employment program has been a success so far for the MJFFC, said Bookout, and has proven to be a valuable asset to both the individuals taking part and the community as a whole.

“It’s about promoting the quality of life, promoting growth, and being able to see these folks grow in their employment is very rewarding,” said Bookout. “And I think it’s another

Local birthday fundraiser looking to raise money and awareness for cancer research Larissa Kurz, Moose Jaw Express

Last year, Katie Bookout decided to fundraise for cancer research in celebration of her 29th birthday and after a very successful campaign, the Moose Javian has brought her fundraiser back for a second year — with some new twists.

Bookout’s cancer fundraiser launched at the beginning of the month, sharing all the details of her various fundraising activities on a Facebook event and highlighting the many local businesses that have partnered with her goal.

“This year, I wanted to ensure that I supported as local as possible, so we actually have three different fundraisers running,” said Bookout.

The feature item in this year’s fundraiser, said Bookout, is a partnership with local business Ripley Prints, selling custom-designed apparel with various cancer-related sayings like “Stronger Together” and “Suck It Cancer.”

The apparel line features baby apparel as well as youth and adult-sized shirts and sweatshirts, with $20 from each item sold donated towards Bookout’s cause. Online pre-orders closed on Sept. 11, with the final deadline to purchase an item from Bookout’s apparel line closing on Sept.

18.

Bookout also has a raffle running for a gift basket full of goodies from other local businesses, which she is excited to show off as it’s valued at over $500, and

Both and featured on the fundraiser’s event page on Facebook, where people can purchase raffle tickets or bid on auction items online.

Bookout set an initial goal of raising $2,900 last year for her 29th birthday, with Moose Jaw stepping up and overshooting her goal to raise $3,000 to do-

nate to the Canadian Cancer Society.

This year, Bookout is hoping the community will help her raise another $3,000 to donate to the Allan Blair Cancer Centre in Regina, and she’s already off to a good start.

“It’s actually been a little bit surprising, the first day we launched the apparel [on Sept. 7] for preorders, the numbers just

kept growing. We had $1,250 in the first day, for sales, and that’s all donated to the fundraiser,” said Bookout.

Bookout is happy to see the enthusiastic response, as raising awareness and supporting cancer research is an important cause close to her heart. She chose to organize this fundraiser as someone who has lost family to cancer.

“I actually lost two grandparents to cancer, as well as an uncle. And my dad was diagnosed with stage four cancer a year ago, in January, so he was definitely a big factor as to why I wanted to help raise money for cancer,” said Bookout.

She has also seen that hosting a community-wide fundraiser like this one has really resonated with others who have been touched by cancer.

“Cancer is a big one that really resonates for people. I know that it can be painful, it can be scary, but I want to make sure that I’m just raising awareness and giving people the opportunity to know they’re not alone,” said Bookout. “It feels pretty good to know that there are a lot of people out there who are going through the same thing.”

Bookout’s fundraiser will wrap up on Sept. 25, with the raffle draw and the conclusion of the art auction.

Intersection under construction on Kalium Road now open to traffic Larissa Kurz, Moose Jaw Express

The safety improvement project on Highway 1 to Regina, near Kalium Road and east of Moose Jaw, has now been completed and is open to traffic.

With a total cost of $5.2 million, the project included the construction of high-speed entrance and exit ramps onto Kalium Road to help travellers make left turns at the intersections safely, and extended the turning lanes on Highway 1.

Temporary signs remain up and will soon be replaced by permanent signage, and drivers in the meantime are asked to obey speeds and watch for workers and equipment that may still remain.

The construction at Kalium Road is one of 60 intersection improvement projects the provincial government committed to last spring, as part of a five-year and $100 million commit-

On the Front Porch

by Wanda Smith

Good Ol’ Days

We’ve been blessed with beautiful fall harvest weather. Many farmers are winding down their harvest operations; much different than the last couple of years when they battled the elements to get their crops off. I do love a warm, sunny fall day. It can almost feel that everything is right in the world when the cats are preening in the sunshine. We got our garden cleaned up in record time this year with only a few potatoes and carrots left in the ground. I enjoyed the relaxed effort Big Sweet Pea and I made. It was much better than those days beating the frost or snow that was bound to set in. It truly has been a lovely beginning to fall.

Mind you, it doesn’t bother me to have a few cool days mixed in, too. It makes for a perfect day to whip up some fresh buns and a batch of homemade soup. After a summer of not much baking or working over a hot stove, I look forward to creating comfort food for my family once again. My favorite soup is beet borscht made from my friend, Mariann’s recipe. It is so satisfying to add in the vegetables that have been grown on our land.

This year, I canned a bit more than usual. It seems COVID has pushed us to go back to the basics. Many people have taken to canning; to the point that canning supplies are in scare supply. I do wish I wouldn’t have disposed of as many canning jars as I once did in a purging frenzy. Little did I know I would wish to pressure can pickles, spaghetti sauce and jams again! A favorite in our house is dilled carrots.

As we go back to our roots, I think we find some consolation.

I’m nearing 50 – hard to believe only two more years until half a century has passed. I find myself telling the sweet peas tales of my childhood more; maybe to preserve those times? We do tend to talk about the good old days.

Do you remember that song by the Judds, “Grandpa”? The words go like this: “Grandpa, tell me ‘bout the good old days.

Sometimes it feels like this world’s gone crazy. And Grandpa, take me back to yesterday when the line between right and wrong didn’t seem so hazy.” Those words ring true for today, even though they were written over 30 years ago. It does feel as though this world has gone crazy, doesn’t it?

As I pondered writing this column today, my thoughts went to Psalm 121:1,2 “I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.” In these crazy times, we must turn our eyes on Jesus. He has sent the Holy Spirit as our helper and comforter. He knows the end from the beginning. We can take comfort that He knows our days. He cares about each of us and wants us to turn our worries, fears and concerns to Him. He desires that we develop a relationship with Him. When we do, He will give clear direction as we tune our ear to His heart; we will hear him speaking peace in the midst of the storm. He is our maker. He is

City Hall Council Notes City offers gift card-refunds to anyone affected

by Ticket Rocket fiasco Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

If you had tickets to a cancelled concert or hockey game at Mosaic Place and didn’t receive a refund, you could be eligible for a gift card to a similar event.

During the Sept. 8 regular meeting, city council voted 6-1 to provide a gift card — and not a cash refund — of an amount equal to what ticket purchasers spent to buy tickets for Moose Jaw Warriors games on March 14, 17 and 21, to the ZZ Top concert on May 10, and the High Valley concert on May 28.

This means if you purchased three tickets for $330 to attend the ZZ Top concert, city hall will provide you with that amount in a gift card.

Coun. Brian Swanson was opposed.

To acquire the gift card: • Spectra Venue Management Services, on behalf of Mosaic Place and the municipality, will reach out to ticker purchasers to inform them of the plan; • The ticket purchasers must fill out forms that verify their purchase; sign an affidavit stating they have not received a refund, and; must provide any other required information; • City administration and Spectra will work to verify each ticket purchase before issuing the gift card.

While a council report explained that the exact refund amount was unknown, later on, the document said it could cost more than $200,000 to repay ticket holders, an amount city hall does not have. This means taxpayers could be responsible to cover this.

Background Ticket Rocket was supposed to issue refunds by Aug. 22 for these cancelled events since it held all the proceeds, explained city manager Jim Puffalt. However, it did not do this and city hall does not believe it will happen, either.

City hall had concerns about Ticket Rocket’s ability to make payments in February during the Scotties

Tournament of Hearts, he continued. After the March events were cancelled, officials began asking the company every week for the money; it eventually provided the money for the Scotties but nothing else.

“We do not have the legal responsibility (to make refunds according to the service agreement), but there is a moral responsibility, in that this company has left lots of us in a very frustrated state,” said Puffalt. “It’s certainly bad public relations and service to customers who wanted to go to the shows, and they can’t get a refund.”

The municipality and Ticket Rocket signed a settlement agreement on May 29 that resolved all matters and claims between the parties. However, the settlement did not release the company from its legal obligations.

Some people who purchased tickets have obtained refunds through their credit card companies, although how many is unknown, Puffalt added. In contrast, others can’t receive similar refunds since they used debit to purchase the tickets.

The Moose Jaw Express attempted to reach Ticket Rocket for comment but did not hear back by press time.

Council discussion City hall wants to issue the gift cards quickly and does not want ticket purchasers to wait any longer, Puffalt told Coun. Scott McMann. Municipal officials know people have been patient even though it’s been hard on them since they are out money.

“Shame on Ticket Rocket for doing this to our community and not fulfilling their contract,” Coun. Crystal Froese said. “… we do have an obligation to these people. This is the only way I can see of moving forward with this.”

Coun. Heather Eby was concerned that anyone with a

gift card might have trouble redeeming it since council recently hired a new ticket provider. Puffalt replied that the company has guaranteed this would be seamless.

Eby received a couple of calls recently about this topic, with one person reading the council report online and expressing disappointment that this was the only refund option, she said. She understood the frustration but thought this was the best decision council could make. She also pointed out that not every ticket holder is a Moose Jaw resident.

“To put a $200,000 (burden) on taxpayers would not be fair to the taxpayers of Moose Jaw,” she added. “This is a good thing for us to do and it is necessary. I’m sorry for people who are not happy, but it’s much better than an alternative of having nothing.”

Swanson agreed with Eby’s comments about not saddling taxpayers with the cost, pointing out the gift cards are not free money, there will have to be an accounting for the money, and this will be lost funds for the municipality. He thought ticket holders should go through their credit card company for a refund.

He noted that while people are excited about future concerts, a friend of his who works in the entertainment industry has indicated insurance companies likely won’t accept the liabilities of packing people into a concert venue in the near future.

This situation is not perfect, but council is making the decision to reimburse those who have been affected, said Mayor Fraser Tolmie. This is important to recognize and shouldn’t be shooed away. Instead, council needs to take responsibility and ensure it protects the prestige of the city for future concerts.

“It might not be for a while before we have concerts, but we have to look at doing the best we can with our own reputation,” he added.

U.S. company to provide ticket-selling software for city A California-based company will soon provide new software to handle ticket sales at Mosaic Place after the municipality ended its relationship with disgraced business Ticket Rocket.

During the Sept. 8 regular meeting, council voted 6-1 to have city administration sign a master software and services agreement with Paciolan LLC for an initial seven-year term, with an option to renew for an extra three years.

In return, Paciolan will provide the software and support services to supply ticket services at Mosaic Place and for other third parties, such as the Moose Jaw Warriors. The company will create and maintain a website for ticket transactions, while the agreement also allows the city to participate in regional ticket opportunities.

Coun. Brian Swanson was opposed.

Background City hall and Ticket Rocket mutually ended their relationship on May 29 via a settlement agreement, a council report explained. The municipality later issued a request for proposals and after an evaluation committee reviewed the six submissions, Paciolan was chosen as the best option.

“City administration engaged in negotiations with Paciolan with the goal of establishing the terms of a draft agreement that would be fair and agreeable to both parties,” the report said, adding since that time, the agreement has been finalized based on provisions conditionally negotiated.

Council discussion The rates that Paciolan offered were favourable, with one perk being the company would deposit the money every seven days, said city manager Jim Puffalt. The ticket provider will create a robust website to handle ticket sales, while it can also offer analytics and marketing support.

“They are very state of the art and advanced for this type of project,” he continued, pointing out Moose

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express Jaw now has the software franchise and can acquire commission when other communities or organizations — such as the Western Hockey League (WHL) and the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) — use it.

Coun. Scott McMann wondered when the contract would start, pointing out with the pandemic still in effect, there wasn’t much potential to sell tickets.

“It just seems a bit odd to me that we’re entering a contract with minimum ticket sales when we can’t sell any,” he added.

It will take two months to have everything up and running, and since the hope is to have events happening

by Christmas, the website needs to be in place, explained legal counsel Raelynn Mechelse. In particular, the WHL expects to start play by December, so Paciolan needs an eight- to 10-week lead time to prepare for the Warriors’ return.

It seemed odd to Coun. Dawn Luhning that the initial term of the contract was seven years when she thought it would normally be three to five years with a renewal option.

“It worries me with the experience we have had with the previous (ticket provider). Can we negotiate?” she wondered.

Negotiations are mostly settled, while seven years is the industry standard, Mechelse said. City hall could reopen the discussions if council felt strongly about the contract length.

Concerns with bidding process Swanson had concerns with the request for proposal process, pointing out the municipality had to purchase equipment from Paciolan while it didn’t from other bidders. Being forced to purchase used equipment made the new deal more expensive; he couldn’t think of any past situation in which council had to purchase used equipment like this.

He was also concerned that the company had a guaranteed annual minimum fee.

Some proponents had a guaranteed annual minimum fee, which is common in the industry, said Mechelse.

Paciolan said it had that fee to offer competitive pricing. Meanwhile, other bidders had higher annual fees and additional licensing and start-up fees.

As for the used equipment, the company advised city hall that the gear had been shipped to a warehouse and not opened, which qualifies it as used, she added.

Swanson was curious how Moose Jaw would benefit economically to have the province-wide licence for Paciolan. In response, Puffalt explained the economic benefits would flow to Mosaic Place, which would reduce the subsidy that the municipality provides.

City Hall Council Notes City handled derelict property complaint properly, ombudsman rules Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The City of Moose Jaw fulfilled all of its responsibilities in how it handled complaints about a derelict property at 1511 Hastings Street, the provincial ombudsman has ruled.

For the past 17 years, property owner Carter Currie has expressed concerns about the run-down home and property adjacent to him on Hastings Street. Since August 2018, he has sent emails to city council and city hall with his complaints, while he also submitted letters to the editor to the Moose Jaw Express.

Currie contacted the Saskatchewan Ombudsman this past June and asked for a review. After investigating the situation, assistant ombudsman Lindsay Mitchell sent a letter to city manager Jim Puffalt on Aug. 13 with the organization’s findings.

In the letter, Mitchell laid out the timeline of Currie’s complaints during the two years and how city hall responded to each concern.

Ombudsman’s findings “Based on our assessment, we find that the City met its legal obligation to provide the property owner with reasonable administrative fairness in accordance with the law by offering the property owner an appeal process and negotiating a reasonable timeline for completing any outstanding work on the property,” Mitchell wrote.

“We also found that the City of Moose Jaw respond-

ed appropriately to the complaints about the property while maintaining its obligation to ensure the privacy of the property owner.

“Since the formal complaint in August of 2018, the City has actively ensured that inspections have been completed and work is done on the offending property; it has applied the legislation, regulations and bylaws correctly; it has responded in a timely and reasonable manner; and has offered sincere apologies where appropriate … ,” added Mitchell. “For these reasons, we will not review this complaint any further. Our file is now closed.”

Council meeting During the Sept. 8 regular meeting, council voted 6-1 to have city hall write a letter to Currie explaining the requirements to address city council either as a delegation or during the public forum. Council also approved a motion to receive and file the ombudsman’s report.

Swanson was opposed.

According to a council report, Currie has now requested that the administrative review officer (ARO) analyze his complaint.

Council discussion “This has been a very, very, very public issue,” said city manager Jim Puffalt.

Currie attempted to lobby and pressure city hall to

demolish the home and clean up the property, but the municipality has followed its procedures when dealing with derelict properties, he continued. However, Currie refused to accept this and began a letter-writing campaign urging the home be demolished.

Fortunately, Currie went to the ombudsman, which allowed city hall to provide information about the situation, Puffalt remarked. City hall attempted to convince the homeowner to take his concerns to the ARO, which is an arms-length body, but Currie declined.

Puffalt took a swipe at the Moose Jaw Express for covering this issue, saying an article in a previous edition allegedly accused city hall of not responding to Currie’s complaints promptly. The city manager pushed back, saying city hall contacted the homeowner after the media outlet emailed council and administration about the problem in November 2018.

Despite city hall’s best efforts, Currie kept writing his letters, Puffalt added. Council later decided on the property in July, after property owner Elizabeth James appeared by video to discuss the situation. She also completed the tasks in the city’s work order.

“We should bear in mind that (Currie’s) complaints about that residence were some 15 years in length.

You can understand the frustration of the resident (who’s) trying to get action (and) it takes 15 years,” said Swanson. “Some would see that as persistence.”

Fewer water main breaks not indication of new trend but hopeful, councillor says Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The number of water main breaks this year has decreased by over two-thirds versus last year, but that’s due to the weather and not the replacement of pipes, a city councillor says.

Moose Jaw has seen 28 water breaks so far, compared to 87 a year ago at this time, city council heard on Sept. 8 during a presentation about city hall’s efforts to communicate with businesses about the cast iron water main replacement program.

The fact the municipality has seen one-third the number of breaks is great, but it’s presumptuous to think a corner has been turned, warned Coun. Brian Swanson. He pointed out that Moose Jaw experienced one of the mildest winters in years from late 2019 to early 2020, with frost not penetrating the ground as deeply as usual.

“We had an advantageous winter to minimize water

main breaks,” he remarked.

The bigger concern is that almost 12 years ago, city hall was spending $400,000 on breaks, while this year, $2 million has been set aside to fix the pipes, Swanson continued. What he planned to watch for was how quick council reduced that and directed that money elsewhere, such as on new programs or new hiring.

“I would urge taxpayers to be diligent on that. One year does not a trend make, especially if we revert to a more normal winter,” he said. “I’m hopeful the reduction is a new trend, but I’m a bit cautious on that …”

City council is supposedly one-quarter of the way through a 20-year program to replace the cast iron pipes, but if that were true, the municipality would have replaced 20 kilometres of pipes already, the

councillor pointed out. Instead, it has replaced roughly 11 kilometres of pipes, which means they are one-seventh of the way through the initiative.

Since this is year five of the program, it’s more accurate to say this initiative began under the previous council, he remarked.

“We shouldn’t be counting our chickens before they hatch on water main breaks (and) five years does mean a quarter of the program,” Swanson added.

When council started this water pipe replacement journey four years ago, it talked about eventually taking funds used to repair breaks and moving them over to replacement of pipes, which was always the intention, said Mayor Fraser Tolmie. That money has been allocated for an important purpose.

Council then voted 6-1 to receive and file the communications report; Swanson was opposed.

Council signs agreement for creation of new South Hill school City council has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with three education organizations for the construction of a new school on South Hill despite concerns about the building’s proposed location.

During the Sept. 8 regular meeting, council voted 6-1 to approve the signing of the MOU; Coun. Brian Swanson was opposed. The agreement outlines the basic requirements to locate a joint-use school within the proposed Westheath neighbourhood. The new 1,000-student building will see the closure of two schools each from Holy Trinity Roman Catholic School Division and Prairie South School Division.

The Ministry of Education required a decision about the MOU before it would make available the results of a traffic impact assessment (TIA) for the school site, a council report explained. The parties added a clause to the MOU that allows the municipality to terminate the agreement if the TIA’s results are unfavourable and require “cost-prohibitive mitigation measures” on the city’s part.

The ministry determined a TIA was needed due to

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

potential traffic issues in the area and before it could move forward with any concept plan proposals, the report said. Meanwhile, city administration identified in 2018 that locating the school within phases 5 and 6 of the Westheath area was problematic due to the traffic impact and because putting the school there went against the Official Community Plan.

If the municipality determines the TIA’s results — to be released Sept. 25 by Prairie South — are favourable, or the results are not favourable but the parties can agree on a mitigation strategy, the project would still proceed. The city would also proceed with the project if the development plan is acceptable.

In February city council initially agreed to sell all 34 acres in that area to the school divisions for $2.5 million. After discussions, all parties agreed that the municipality would instead sell 10 acres for the same price of $15,000 per acre, plus development levies of $50,592 per acre.

Based on the numbers presented, this means the ministry and school divisions will pay $655,920 for the site. However, the council report did not say how

much in total the city would receive from this deal.

Although city hall had spent $300,000 on a concept plan for the Westheath area, that money was not included in the MOU, the report said. The ministry’s justification was its proposed concept plan would replace the existing one.

City administration believes putting the school in phases 5 and 6 of Westheath could bring further development to that residential subdivision. The school’s development could service about 30 residential lots — with an estimated market value of $85,000 per lot — based on the final design. While the city would still be responsible for individual service connections, the construction of the school would include water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer and road construction.

All of this, however, would depend on several factors, including a favourable recommendation from the traffic impact assessment to help determine whether the project should proceed, the report added.

The Moose Jaw Express will report on the conversation council had about this topic in another article.

City Hall Council Notes Location of new South Hill school concerns some councillors Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The location of the proposed joint-use school on South Hill concerns some city councillors, particularly since it contradicts the Official Community Plan and pushes the municipality’s footprint further west.

Councillors discussed the project during the Sept. 8 regular meeting, after hearing from an official with the Ministry of Education — accompanied by representatives from both Moose Jaw school divisions — about an agreement that the ministry and city administration had hammered out. The document lays out the requirements to locate a joint-use school within the Westheath neighbourhood.

Council voted 6-1 to accept the MOU; Coun. Brian Swanson was opposed.

Traffic assessment The ministry plans to complete a traffic impact assessment (TIA) since there is concern about traffic issues there, explained Rory Jensen, acting assistant deputy minister. When the ministry has the results

by Sept. 25, it will discuss the assessment with city administration. If mitigation strategies are required to address traffic issues, the ministry will cover the costs.

Once the ministry and school divisions develop options to locate the school on the Westheath site, it will engage in public consultations by holding town hall meetings to ensure the community’s voice is heard, Jensen told Coun. Crystal Froese. The meetings would focus on the site location, the location of roads, and residential configurations, but wouldn’t be about the actual building design.

New subdivision needed This is a good location since South Hill is already landlocked, said Coun. Heather Eby. She thought it would be great to build a new school in the middle of the area, but there is no existing space unless buildings are knocked down and blocks bulldozed. The municipality might not need a new subdivision today, but it does need a new school on South Hill.

“If we are going to be obstinate, we will lose this project … ,” Eby said. “I look forward to the day when we have a grand opening and I can see my grandchildren start their first day in a new South Hill School.”

Eby also appreciated how the city wouldn’t have to deal with the repurposing or demolition of the four elementary schools once the new school is built.

New school long overdue It’s right that council wants a new school since one is overdue in that area, said Froese, who didn’t think the ministry would take away the project simply because council had concerns.

However, she also disapproved of the Westheath site, since it violated the OCP and is located where there is little room for infill or growth. While the school’s construction would develop some empty lots, it would not service the central parts of South Hill.

“I’m hopeful that this will go really smoothly and be expedient … Students have been waiting for a new school,” she said.

Froese also hoped that there was solid communication on this project and more public engagement since this was a “generational project” of $50 million.

Besides this $50-million project, SaskPower also intends to build a $700-million power plant, Mayor Fraser Tolmie pointed out. While it is disappointing that building permits have declined and the pandemic has been an outside factor, the real estate market is taking off again.

Residents are looking for council to build confidence in the local economy, so supporting this project does that, he continued. While he hoped society could overcome the pandemic, he didn’t want to wait around and not have plans in place or be unprepared for the future.

Location a surprise to city The location of the proposed school was a complete surprise to the city when the school boards made the announcement since there was no discussion with city hall, said Swanson. Furthermore, the subdivision there exists only on paper.

Council told the school divisions that it was not interested in developing that subdivision right now, but if that was their desired location, then they had to develop the site themselves and not leave taxpayers responsible for costs, he continued. Only one company expressed interest in developing the site, but officials

at city hall and the ministry rejected the proposal as inadequate. This means taxpayers would likely be responsible for developing the subdivision.

“That is my concern here. We are going to get into a subdivision that I don’t think is justified at this time,” said Swanson, who is also a trustee with Prairie South School Division.

Council received building permit numbers recently, which showed there were 10 new housing starts from January to August, compared to 20 new starts during the same time last year, he continued. This shows a subdivision is unnecessary right now, while council would have to spend plenty of money in hopes of recouping those costs through lot sales.

In comparison, he noted that Humboldt and Weyburn have more housing starts than Moose Jaw. City expands further west Swanson’s second — and larger concern — was the development expands the city’s footprint further west when there is virtually no population growth and few housing starts. He thought this was bad urban planning that would have long-term consequences, while the traffic impact assessment was a distraction from this concern.

There are other, less expensive sites for the school, including one that was always in the municipality’s Official Community Plan (OCP), he continued. Even city administration says the proposed site contravenes the plan.

Council spent $300,000 on a concept plan for Westheath, but with the ministry creating its concept plan, Swanson thought council had essentially wasted money.

Money not wasted City manager Jim Puffalt pushed back by saying the money was not wasted since the ministry plans to provide two other concept plans. Further, there wouldn’t be urban sprawl since the ministry is adding to existing streets and not skipping around the subdivision.

“The ministry had apologized constantly about not consulting us …,” he added. “There will be no cost to taxpayers because the ministry will pay for (the development).”

Tax revenues increased by 55 per cent over six years, data shows The amount of revenue the City of Moose Jaw collected in property taxes increased by 55 per cent from 2013 to 2019, according to data from the finance department.

In 2013, city hall collected $32.5 million from municipal taxation, water billing charges and sewer billing charges. Six years later, that amount had increased to $50.4 million, based on municipal taxation, water billing charges, sewer billing charges, waste collection charges and recycling collection charges.

The information was presented during city council’s Sept. 8 regular meeting in response to an inquiry from Coun. Brian Swanson from Aug. 10 about what revenues in 2019 were from the various tax collection streams.

Municipal taxation increased to $29.3 million last year from $20.5 million in 2013, which represents an increase of 43 per cent, Swanson pointed out.

However, he thought that number was misleading since garbage collection was contained within property taxes from 2013 to 2016. Starting in 2017, garbage charges were added to home-

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

owners’ bills; $226,399 was collected that year, while $1.2 million was collected last year.

When municipal taxation and garbage collection fees are added together, during those six years, the increase was 49 per cent, he added.

From 2013 to 2019, revenue collected was: Municipal taxation and waste collection: • $20,572,697 / $0 • $22,317,407 / $0 • $24,108,203 / $0 • $24,743,917 / $0 • $26,440,451 / $226,399 • $27,946,301 / $1,142,059 • $29,395,403 / $1,246,543 Water revenues: • $6,578,169 • $6,935,408 • $7,796,611 • $8,383,191 • $9,354,546 • $10,450,973 • $11,088,051 Sewer revenues: • $5,349,793 • $5,690,114 • $6,331,478

• $6,835,159 • $7,236,958 • $7,572,012 • $7,702,529 Recycling revenues: • $0 • $0 • $225,185 • $900,161 • $929,944

• $967,357 • $968,142 The total amount of revenue collected from the property tax base increased by $17.9 million from 2013 to 2019, Swanson added, while the municipality took on significant debt during that time, saw little property assessment growth, and had next to no population growth.

Terry Fox Run to go virtual on 40th anniversary

More flexibility hoped to lead to greater participation in spite of COVID-19 restrictions Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Supporters of the 40th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run can purchase special shirts from the event – designed right here in Saskatchewan.

If it were any other time in any other year, the 40th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run would undoubtedly feature large crowds, plenty of participants and a whole lot of money raised for cancer research.

Organizers of the annual event and supporters of the Marathon of Hope are aiming to see only one of those things change when the run takes place on Sept. 20 all over the world.

Due to the COVID-19 restrictions in

place due to the ongoing pandemic, the decision was made months ago to turn the 2020 edition of the Run into a fully virtual event.

That follows the theme of “One Day, Your Way” and how this year’s fundraiser will work.

“It comes with some challenges, but at the same time it might provide some extra freedom for people who might want to participate, but don’t want to go to a scheduled event,” said Moose Jaw Terry Fox Run organizer Craig Hemingway. “So it’s freedom for people to walk or run wherever they’d like in the City of Moose Jaw or wherever they may be… We have over 40 kilometres of trails in Moose Jaw, we have wonderful parks, you can go for a walk or a run, there’s no end to the options to participate.”

That flexibility is why there’s hope the only difference will be the size of crowds taking part in the run.

“It’s hard to get any indication of how much participation there might be, because typically there’s quite a large walk-up with people saying they’ll just register that day,” Hemingway said. “And often times you’re trying to fundraise, and one of the most effective ways is often the one-to-one connection and contact, which is tougher to do with COVID-19.

“So there are challenges, but it’s nothing compared to the challenges Terry Fox faced, he did some amazing things.

It’s nothing we can’t get through and we’ll be excited with what we accomplish on Sunday and it all going to an incredible cause.”

Participants can register through TerryFox.org and make a donation through the web page, and Hemingway is encouraging people who do participate in the run to take a picture of themselves doing so, post it social media with the hashtag #TerryFoxRun. “We want to share those pictures and let everyone know the kind of support the Run is receiving in Moose Jaw and across Canada,” he said. “So sign-up, go get donations from friends and family and then on the day of, go out with your circle of close friends and family, safely distance of course and choose your route.”

Through it all, the hope is everyone will once again find a way to support the Terry Fox Run, and add to the more than $800 million raised in his name.

“It’s tremendous, and it speaks to Terry’s legacy; he’s one of, if not the greatest Canadian of all time,” Hemingway said of the 40 years. “You think about what he tried to accomplish, in a time where there was no social media. He wasn’t doing it for any other reason than to raise money to help fight cancer; that was it. That was the goal.

“It’s such a pure goal and something we can all appreciate and that’s why we can all get behind his legacy and how it lives on today.”

Two Briercrest students in isolation Victory Church now offering three services to support growing congregation after contracting COVID-19 Jason G. Antonio, Moose Jaw Express Jason G. Antonio, Moose Jaw Express

Two students at Briercrest College and Seminary are in quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19 after one of them arrived infected on campus at the start of the new school year.

All students and staff taking part in Briercrest’s check-in day on Sept. 7 wore masks, practised physical distancing, and underwent health screening upon arriving on campus. As part of the college’s mandatory testing policy, students were tested — if possible — before coming to campus, according to the college website.

One student arrived only a few hours before receiving the test results. Once the results were known, school administrators immediately isolated the student for 14 days and carried out contact tracing. That tracing revealed another student had been in close contact, so that second student was also placed in quarantine. Both are now receiving ongoing care and support while attending classes online.

The other 150 seminary students attending the Caronport-based school are also conducting their learning online this semester.

The educational institution announced on Sept. 7 that two students were infected.

The college developed its pandemic response plan over the summer in conjunction with the Ministry of Advanced Education, the Saskatchewan Health Authority and the local medical health officer, explained Don Taylor, provost and dean at Briercrest College and Seminary.

“We decided to be aggressive about testing because we’re a smaller school,” he said.

Students were asked to get tested before they arrived on campus, but many were unable to do so since not every province tests for asymptomatic carriers. So, the college set up testing for everyone, and before Sept. 1, the institution ensured all 175 staff and faculty

were tested as well. All staff tested negative.

“The goal of the testing was to catch anyone quickly, so the testing actually worked exactly as we wanted to,” said Taylor. “I know this is a news story that’s troubling, but it’s actually perfect, because if we’d allowed a person with COVID on campus for some time, then it would have spread.”

All students have signed waivers indicating they will adhere to Briercrest’s health guidelines, including daily health screening, wearing masks, and maintaining physical distancing, the website said. For students who need to self-isolate, the college has designated a dorm space that allows them to isolate comfortably and continue with their classes online.

Health experts predict about one per cent of the Saskatchewan population could be infected with the coronavirus, so administrators at Briercrest expect the same could happen on campus, Taylor said. However, the college has the necessary health-care professionals and plan to deal with cases if they arise.

There are more than 400 high school and college students on campus this year.

It’s beneficial that the college is located in a small, remote community since that makes it less likely for a coronavirus outbreak, said Taylor. This also allows for more face-to-face interactions since the campus is spacious and spread out.

“Our students aren’t mixing with the city population and that just allows us to test everyone and create this safe bubble,” he added.

“Not perfectly, of course. Students can still go to Moose Jaw from time to time for supplies … but taking the best measures we can, we’ll do our best to protect everybody.”

Briercrest College will provide weekly updates about any possible outbreaks of the Wuhan flu on its website at briercrest.ca.

Victory Church on Main Street has grown so much since reopening in July that, to ensure congregants remain safe, it has decided to add a third service on Sunday mornings.

The organization was forced to close its doors in March due to the pandemic, similar to other faith-based organizations, and continued to offer services online. It reopened its doors in July, but since it was limited in space, it began offering “hybrid services” where people could attend online or in person.

Based on its physical size, the worship area can accommodate 150 people per service, but the two services are full each time. So, to ensure it can follow the Saskatchewan Health Authority’s safety guidelines and invite more people, it has added a third service on Sundays.

New service times are now 8:45 a.m., 10:30 a.m. and 12:15 p.m. People who wish to attend in person must pre-register at victorymj.com/reopen.

“We’re excited about it,” Pastor Dan Godard exclaimed. “It will mean a lot of work for our teams, but we’re excited to make more space for more people to come.”

Victory Church will offer as many services as required to ensure people can attend safely, he continued. It has taken a little while for people to start coming back to church, but services throughout July and August were usually full.

What has been interesting is more people attend church online than in person, Godard pointed out. This has created a new reality for the organization since it has a new opportunity to care for people differently. One way it does this is by interacting with the online congregation during the in-person services.

The church has a team of 30 to 40 people

This includes tech support, cleaning staff, musicians and children’s ministry leaders.

Godard acknowledged that the church had to increase its volunteer team to ensure its services run smoothly.

Sept. 13 was the first Sunday that Victory Church started offering three in-person services.

“We’re excited to be able to welcome people every single Sunday,” Godard added.

“We want to be able to do that in a way that’s safe and meets the health guidelines that the Saskatchewan government has given us. So we’re making sure we go over and above what the Saskatchewan government asks for places of worship.”

Warriors claim overager Ginnell off waivers from Spokane

Veteran left winger put up 13 goals and 23 points in 50 games with Winnipeg and Spokane last season Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Warriors took a step towards adding a bit more age and experience to their line-up, claiming overage forward Brad Ginnell off waivers from the Spokane Chiefs.

The Calgary native joins forward Tate Popple as the only 20-year-old in the team’s line-up and brings plenty of experience to a squad in the second year of a massive rebuilding project.

Selected in the fifth round of the 2016 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft by the Portland Winterhawks, Ginnell entered the league with an impressive resume, having put up 40 goals and 80 points for the Calgary Royals the Alberta Elite Hockey League’s Under-16 league.

Ginnell scored six times and had 10 points in 51 games in his rookie season with Portland and split the following campaign between the Winterhawks and the Kootenay Ice, scoring eight goals and 19 points in 61 games as a 17-year-old.

The Moose Jaw Warriors claimed Brad Ginnell off waivers from the Spokane Chiefs on Friday.

In the 2018-19 season in Kootenay, Ginnell was the lastplace squad’s third-leading scorer with 16 goals and 41

points in 68 games. He started last year with the Ice in Winnipeg and had 10 goals and 17 points before being traded to Spokane, where Ginnell scored another three goals and six points in the final 16 games of the season.

Ginnell also brings an impressive family resume to the Warriors.

His father, Erin Ginnell, has been an NHL scout since the turn of the century, serving as the director of amateur scouting for the Florida Panthers from 2011 through 2016 and currently working with the Vegas Golden Knights.

Grandfather Pat Ginnell is a Western Hockey League coaching legend, having most famously coached the Bobby Clarke-led Flin Flon Bombers to the Western Canadian Hockey League championship in 1968-69.

The Warriors, like the rest of the WHL, are currently in a hold pattern as the league has no plans to start before the December of this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic and have yet to release a schedule.

No Surprise: Moose Jaw’s Fish named Speed Skating Canada long-track athlete of the year

Gold medals, world championship, and a world record: Fish honoured after incredible break-out season Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

There are few things that will come as less of a surprise than the latest honour Moose Jaw’s Graeme Fish picked up.

The recently turned 23-year-old was named Speed Skating Canada’s Jeremy Wotherspoon Long Track Athlete of the Year Award after an incredible break-out season saw him vault into the upper echelons of distance racing in the sport.

It all started in December, when Fish started cracking the top five in the 5,000 metres and 10,000 metres on a regular basis in World Cup meets. It all led to his first ever medal with a third place finish in the 10K at the third meet of the season on Dec. 8, and a week later he had his second bronze, this time as a member of Team Canada in the team pursuit during World Cup #4.

Fish’s solid showings through the first part of the season saw Speed Skating Canada decide he’d shown them enough to earn a spot on the team for the 2020 World Single Distance Championships during the

Valentine’s Day weekend.

And the rest? Oh, you better believe it’s history.

He’d open the event at the Olympic Oval in Salt Lake City with a surprise bronze in the 5,000 metres, his first medal at a world championship race.

As it turns out, that ‘surprise’ was just a harbinger of things to come.

Only 24 hours later, the former Moose Jaw Kinsmen Speed Skating Club competitor would become part of national lore in the sport – a gold medal in the 10,000 metres and a world record on top of it all.

The victory and record instantly made him one of Canada’s athletes to watch in the sport, and a medal hopeful for the 2022 Olympic Games in Beijing.

Fish is only the third Saskatchewan-born athlete to claim the honour, with Regina’s Lucas Makowsky winning in 2011 and Humboldt’s Wotherspoon, who won it nine times between 1998 and 2008.

Moose Jaw’s Graeme Fish celebrates during one of his many victories this past season.

Peebles drains hole-in-one at Lynbrook Golf Club

Total of 14 aces recorded at local golf course so far this season

Moose Jaw Express Staff The Lynbrook Golf Club saw another hole-in-one on September 9th, marking the 14th ace of the season for the local 18-hole layout.

Witnessing the shot were Steve Edwards, Bob Turnbull and Chuck MacMillan.

Canucks win Baseball Regina 11-and-under league championship Six-run fourth inning paves way for 10-1 victory over Moose Jaw Prairie Dogs in final Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

After a regular season filled with wins and success, the Moose Jaw Canucks capped their season with a Baseball Regina 11-and-under AA league championship.

And in a sign that things are looking good for local baseball in the future, it was the Moose Jaw Prairie Dogs they had to defeat to do so.

The Canucks put up six runs with two outs in the fourth inning on their way to a 10-1 victory over the Prairie Dogs at Vanstone Diamond, capping a campaign that saw both Moose Jaw clubs dominate the league from start to finish.

In the end, though, someone had to win. And the Canucks came up with as solid a performance as they’ve had all season when they needed it the most.

“The best part about this is we have two Moose Jaw teams in the final, and to coach this group of kids, my goodness, they played a heck of game,” said Canucks coach Shane Sowden. “We threw strikes, we made plays, we threw runners out, we hit the ball… a two-out rally to score six runs? That’s something else.”

The Prairie Dogs drew first blood when the second batter of the game, Dillon Flanagan, reached base and came around to score. After Dogs starter Ronan Tonge shut the Canucks down in their half, it could have been time for concern.

But the Canucks had Max Craig on the mound, and he wasn’t about to let things get away without a fight.

“Any team that’s against Max starting and he’s throwing strikes, you’re going to be in tough to score runs,” lauded Prairie Dogs coach Craig Flanagan. “But the guys had some good at bats, we hit some balls hard and they made some plays.”

Craig wouldn’t allow a baserunner past first the rest of the game, with catcher Luke Pratte again gunning down a couple of runners on the basepaths to hold the Dogs in check.

The Canucks would get on the board with three runs in the second and extend their lead to 4-1 in the third before putting together the aforementioned fourth-inning rally to take control of the game.

“I’ve never had a group of kids this young be this mentally tough,” Sowden said. “We got a tiny bit rattled when we were down 1-0 and they were frus-

If you can get a group of kids that have short memories and don’t freak out, it makes it a lot easier and it was a lot of fun coaching this group.”

James Howe would reach base three times for the Canucks and score a pair of runs, while Ramsey Thompson – who closed out the win after Craig ran up against the pitch limit – crossed the plate twice.

Mac Sowden also reached base three times and scored a run.

For the Prairie Dogs, the loss was tough, but if ever there was a team that could leave the diamond with

“I’m really proud of the guys, and I don’t want to take anything away from them, they’re a really well coached team with Shane and they actually did play a really good game today, they made some nice plays behind Max,” Flanagan said.

“It was an encouraging year, there was improvement throughout the line-up on this team and when the boys left the field today they were pretty proud of themselves even though it wasn’t the results we wanted.”

Sowden felt much the same way.

“All around, no one should feel disappointed today, it was a great season and great for baseball in Moose Jaw.”

Canucks fall in Baseball Regina 13-and-under final Early lead not enough in 12-4 loss to Lumscen in championship game; Canucks take 23-13 win over Pacers in semifinal Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Canucks had shown the ability to put up a ton of runs and play solid defence through much of Baseball Regina 13-and-under AA season.

But things went sour early last week that lead to a 12-4 loss to the Lumsden Cubs in the league championship final at Andrie Diamond.

The Canucks would manage only seven hits and commit seven errors, a far cry from their showing a day earlier where they pounded out 20 hits and would take a 23-13 win over the Regina Pacers in the semifinal.

Things looked good for the home team in the title game, as they took a 3-0 lead out of the first inning.

Lumsden would get all of that back the very next frame, though, and wouldn’t look back the rest of the way, putting up runs in every inning and holding the Canucks scoreless until the seventh – by which time they held a 12-3 lead.

Brogan Bowes finished the game with a 2-for-3 showing that included a pair of runs scored to lead Moose Jaw’s offence, while Kyren Ernest and Zayden Anderson had their other runs.

Anderson got the start and allowed six earned runs

on six hits, while Bowes tossed the final four innings and gave up only three earned runs on eight hits while striking out six.

Things were far different the day before – even if they did get a bit scary midway through the game.

The Canucks would take a 10-5 lead into the fourth inning but would surrender six runs to fall behind 11-10.

Moose Jaw recovered quickly, though, putting up four in their half of the fourth and led 15-13 in the sixth when they sent 10 batters to the plate, scoring eight runs and invoking the mercy rule.

Anderson had an outstanding game at the plate, going 4-for-4 with three doubles, four runs scored and five runs batted in, while Bowes was 3-for-4 with four RBI, Hunter Scott 3-for-4 with four runs scored and Ernest 2-for-4 with four runs. Kaison Skeoch had a 3-for-3 showing and crossed the plate twice; Kohl Olson went 2-for-3 with three RBI. Skeoch tossed three innings and allowed six earned on eight hits while striking out six, Spenser Craig finished things off by allowing four earned on seven hit and four strikeouts.

Kaison Skeoch swings at a pitch earlier this season.

WIEBE, PETER

The family of Peter Theodore Wiebe heart brokenly announce his quiet and peaceful passing in the early hours of his 78th Birthday August 22, 2020 with his wife by his side. Dad was born to Abe and Annie Wiebe in Hudson Bay SK, the second youngest of 9 children. Dad lived on the family farm until he was 12 years old when he and his family moved to Moose Jaw. The family built their own home on the 900 Block of Oxford St East. It was there Dad was taught the love of gardening as it was a passion of bot his parents. Dad grew up proudly on the east side and attended Prince Arthur School and Peacock Technical Institute and made many lifelong friends. Dad met his true love in the late summer of 1962. Mom and Dad were married on September 19, 1964. To follow came five children. Throughout our childhood dad coached baseball, taught us to garden, and how to build and fix whatever the job required. Dad never missed an opportunity to attend kids and grandkids sports and was a regular at the rink on game days, but also loved dance recitals, school plays and his favorite Christmas concerts. Nothing made him prouder than his kids and grandkids. Dad spent much of his career as a Boilermaker (Local 555) at IMC Kalium

(Mosiac) Belle Plaine. The work was hard and hot, but the friends where plentiful and he loved to talk about work, hear the progress of the plant and catch up with old friends after his retirement. When Dad was not working or working on a project he enjoyed being with his family.

Two-stepping in the kitchen with Mom, fishing, gardening, playing guitar, listening to the good old country music, or just sitting quietly in the garage with a cold one. Dad was greeted and welcomed into heaven by his parents Abe and Annie Wiebe, his in-laws Anne and Arthur Boisclair Sr, his siblings Edwin, Tony, and Gladys, brother-in-law Arthur Boisclair Jr. and some very special friends and co-workers.

Dad will be greatly missed by so many and mainly by his wife of 56 years Margaret (Bunny), his 5 children Scott (Janice) Wiebe, Laurie (Steve) Barnes and their children Jordan and Jessie, Jody (Terry) Belisle and their children Michael (Ali) , Stephanie (Jon), Brittanie (Nicholas) and Presley, David (Ginette) Wiebe and their children Cody, Dolton, Adian, and Alexis-Rae, the baby Krissy (Jeff) Glova and their children Logan(Regan), Ashton, Sierra and Precious Sayde. Dad also leave as his legacy three great grandchildren Zàchary, Maverick, and Declan-Peter.

Dad will also be missed by his surviving sibling, Elsie, Minnie, Lorraine, Esther, John and their families. Special sister in laws Eunice Boisclair and family, Cindy Boisclair, his little fur babies Sophie, Sunny and Holly and so many wonderful friends. As Dad’s last and modest request there will be no service, but those wishing to pay tribute to Dad can do by taking a moment to listen to a good old country song and enjoy a cold drink. As a family we wish to thank everyone who was part of Dad’s journey and to Laurie for being his rock right to the very end. In living memory of Peter, a memorial planting will be made by JonesParkview Funeral Services.

GABEL After a long and eventful journey through life Les Gabel passed away on August 24, 2020 at the age of 83. He was predeceased by his great granddaughter Desirae Gabel, his parents and all siblings.

He is survived by Pat, his loving wife of 56 years and his three children, eldest Mark (Erin) and their three children Brooke(Jordan) and their children Jace and Javen, Morgan(Brodie) and their son Zander and Cole(Cassidy), middle Kevin(Andy) and youngest Scott. As well, he is survived by numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. He was the first of his family to be born in a hospital, finish high school and move to the city. He worked for SaskTel from the day he graduated from Peacock High School until his retirement 36 and a half years later. He was heavily involved in the community through a variety of organizations and clubs that he either volunteered at, led or participated with. His retirement years were spent spoiling his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, traveling, cracking jokes and enjoying coffee with the men on coffee row. Les will be fondly remembered for his kindness, honesty, dignity, a streak of stubbornness, laughter and love that knew no bounds - and organizational skills that were beyond description.

It needs to be noted that Les was an avid Moose Jaw Warriors fan from the day it was announced they were moving to Moose Jaw. He will be sorely missed by all who had the pleasure to meet him. In keeping with Les’s wishes, a Private Family graveside will be held. In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to make a memorial donation to STARS Air Ambulance 2640 Airport Road Regina, SK S4W 1A3. Arrangements are entrusted to Moose Jaw Funeral Home, 268 Mulberry Lane. James Murdock, Funeral Director 306-693-4550 www.moosejawfuneralhome.com

JANE ELEANOR (JOHNSRUDE) MOORE Jane passed away peacefully at home, in her sleep, on September 9, 2020 in Moose Jaw, SK at the age of 77. Jane was born in Fillmore, SK on March 2, 1943. Her parents Einar and Letitia Johnsrude settled in Weyburn in the early 1960’s. She left home in 1964 when she met Harley Moore. Jane did the big move to the United States of America and married Harley. They became the parents of four children, Joseph, Suzette, Sally and Donna. Her husband worked as long-haul trucker and the family travelled many places together. After Jane’s divorce in 1986 she moved back to Canada. She lived in Weyburn, SK until July 2020 then finally moved to Moose Jaw to be closer to family. Jane left behind her son Joseph and his family knowing she would be happier in Moose Jaw, as she talked of it often. Jane will be remembered for her love of crocheting, knitting, crosswords, cards, cats, chickens, cows, her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. We cannot forget DQ, going for coffee, bread making, and gravy that was never lumpy. Also, her stories, and most important spending time with her grandchildren Faith, Lee, Shane Tegart and Hope Moore; later her great grandchildren Joel and Lance Huffman and Macey Lillejord. Jane was also proud of her other grandchildren showing everyone pictures of Lexi and Jessica Nelson and her great great grandson Levi. Jane will be sadly missed by Joseph (Alvina) Moore, Hope Moore all of Weyburn, SK; Suzette Ward of Janesville, WI; Sally and Jessica Nelson of Creal Springs, IL; Casey, Erika and Levi Hallwachs of Fargo, ND; Lex Nelson of Fargo, ND; Donna Tegart of Moose Jaw, SK; Faith (Richard) Huffman, Joel and Luke Huffman of Moose Jaw, SK; Lee Tegart of Regina, SK; Shane Tegart of Weyburn, SK; great grandchildren Joel and Luke Huffman, Levi Hallwachs and Macey Lillejord. Due to the current Covid restrictions a funeral will be held at some time in 2021. In living memory of Jane, a memorial planting will be made by JonesParkview Funeral Services. Please sign the memorial register at website: www.wjjonesandson.com or www. parkviewfuneralchapel.ca (Obituaries).

BELLEGARDE It is with great sadness that the family of David Lionel Bellegarde announces the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather and uncle on Monday, September 7th, 2020 at Extendicare in Moose Jaw, SK. Dave was born in Balcarres, SK on September 9th, 1934. He attended the Lebret Indian Residential School and in April of 1952 he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force. During his career he was stationed at 10 different bases. In 1964 while stationed at Vald’Or, Quebec, he met and married his wife Betty. After that he was stationed at St. Hubert, Ottawa, North Bay, and then Moose Jaw in 1975. He retired from the Canadian Forces in 1977 after 25 years of service. Dave then worked for the Moose Jaw Public School Board for 18 years, retiring in 1999.

Before his stroke in 2002, he loved golfing and was a long-time member of the Lynbrook Golf Course. He was predeceased by his mother, Josaphine McDougall (Paddy); sisters, Helen Brecht and Mildred Bird; brother, Bill (Helen); brothers-in-law: Philip, Kenneth and Robert Stone; and good friends: Bert Walts, Glen Wiggins and Gerry Stonechild. David is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Betty; daughter, Nancy (Cam Ewart); son, Peter (Crystal) and their children Mackenzie and David; sister, Elaine Kerney (Glenn); brother-in-law, Peter Brecht; as well as many nieces, nephews and cousins. He was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather and will be sorely missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew him. Many thanks to the excellent staff at Extendicare for the care during his stay there. Due to the current Covid-19 health situation, a Private Family Service will be held.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Dave’s name may be made to The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #59, 268 High St W, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 1S8, Moose Jaw Food Bank, 305 Fairford St W, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 1X6, or The Moose Jaw Humane Society, Box 1658 Station Main, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 7K7.

ELECTION 2020 Key Standards and Values of Council Members • Honesty • Objectivity • Transparency & Accountability • Confidentiality • Responsibility • Leadership and Public Interest • Respect Minimum Qualifications • 25 Signatures • $100 Deposit • 18 years of age by election day • Not disqualified from being a candidate • 6 Months Residency • 3 Months Residency in Moose Jaw • Public Disclosure Form Self Assessment

It is not crucial to have education or experience in a government setting to run for council. You likely have skills, knowledge and abilities that are transferable to the council member’s role. You may want to take a self-assessment of your skills by thinking about your volunteer experience, community involvement, work experience, membership in different organizations and family life.

Often these experiences teach you how to work as part of a team, organize and prioritize, make decisions, debate and lead.

Treaty 4 Gathering goes virtual and educational

Trio of special videos offer information on annual powwow, dance traditions, regalia and more with Dancing Horse Dance Troupe Anyone who has taken part in a powwow in the recent past in Moose Jaw and area will undoubtedly be familiar with performances by Harold Littletent and the Dancing Horse Dance Troupe.

With their colourful regalia, skilled performances and dedication to their craft, the group from Kawacatoose First Nation are often a highlight of any event they take part in.

Normally, that would include the annual Treaty Four Gathering, the popular powwow and series of First Nations events that has taken place in the late summer for the past 30 years in the Qu’Appelle Valley.

Unfortunately, like every other event of it’s kind, the COVID-19 pandemic forced the Gathering’s cancellation – but that hasn’t kept organizers from partnering with supporters, including the Saskatchewan Culture Recreation and Sports Districts, to bring things into a virtual arena.

That includes the aforementioned Littletent and his crew, who are featured

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express in a series of videos offering instruction and information with just about everything to do with powwows and the always-impressive performances.

The videos – which run about 15 minutes each and are available for streaming on the SCRSD Youtube channel throughout the Treaty Four Gathering Sept. 14 through 18 – feature information on a variety of dance traditions, regalia, drumming and singing, with members of the Dancing Horse Troupe showing their stuff.

Hand and Powwow Drums and Teachings features the protocols of drums and singing along with traditional teachings, while Men’s and Women’s Traditional Dancing features Troupe members Tiny and Raven performing their respective speA member of the Dancing Horse Dance cialties, and Jingle Dress and Grass a powwow.
