One of the most popular fundraisers for the Journey to Hope suicide awareness and prevention charity is once again underway. And if the trials and travails of the pandemic couldn’t keep their annual peach sale down last year, you better believe things will once again be peachy this summer. “Last year we raised $2,500, which was absolutely amazing,” said Della Ferguson with Journey to Hope. “It’s a win-win fundraiser, because people are thrilled with these peaches, they’re always saying they just love them… they’re healthy and who doesn’t love a delicious piece of fruit on a hot summer’s day?” The sale is conducted through Todd Bell with B & B Fruit stand, located at 432 High St. West. A longtime supporter of Journey to Hope and the services they offer, they raise thousands of dollars annually for the program. “We’re so grateful to him for working with us and he’s so gung ho, it’s always ‘let’s do it again’ and that’s wonderful,” Ferguson said. The B.C.-grown Fairhaven Freestone peaches come in 20-pound cases and cost $40 each. Orders are currently being taken, and to do so, e-mail info@hopesummit.ca or send a message through the Journey to Hope Facebook page at www.facebook.com/journeytohopemoosejaw. E-transfers are accepted and are the preferred form of payment. All proceeds remain in the community and will be used for the myriad of suicide awareness and prevention programs conducted by Journey to Hope on an annual basis. The order deadline is Sunday, Aug. 1, with pick-up from B & B Fruit Stand taking place on Friday, Aug. 13 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The process is simple: just show up, show proof of purchase and grab your case or cases of peaches and you’re good to go. So simple, in fact, that even with all the restrictions and precautions in place last year, the sale was still an overwhelming success. “Everything was done online, and with pick-up, we did it with social distancing and masks,” Ferguson explained. “They literally grabbed their own box of peaches and took off, so we were able to do it within the regulations… it’s a well-oiled machine at this point, it’s pretty simple.” For more information on Journey to Hope and their programs, be sure to check out their website at journeytohope. synthasite.com.

Mike Beaudoin Artistic Design Metalwork

He started welding at only 6 years old. All of his work is original and one of a kind. Mike Beaudoin's steelwork will welcome visitors to ranches, mark the passing of loved ones and offer places to sit in a park. The Mortlach, Saskatchewan, man uses a plasma cutter - hand controlled, not computerized - to create

metal signs and artwork. "People have an image of what matters to them," Beaudoin explains. "Sometimes they have a photo. They give me full rein to create from that." With some signs stretching up to 66 ft. long, the metal artist usually works outside to weld his artwork together. He deals with nature's elements.

Unemployment reduced in local labour region By Ron Walter - For Moose Jaw Express

Mike has hand drawn and cut everything from bison to entire ranch scenes with horses, people, wagons and houses.

HIRING A REPORTER

The Moose Jaw Swift Current labour region seems to have come through the pandemic quite well. There were 2,900 more people employed at June 2021 than one year ago in the depths of the pandemic restrictions. The increase in employment came with an increase in the available labour force of 1,200 to 57,400 persons. With an unemployment rate of 6.8 per cent the region had the third lowest rate of five regions in the province. Yorkton-Melville had the lowest unemployment rate at 4.2 per cent with second lowest rate of 5.1 per cent in the Prince Albert Northern region Saskatoon-Biggar had a seven per cent unemployment rate while Regina-Moose Mountain had 7.1 per cent. A year ago, the Moose Jaw Swift Current labour region unemployment rate was 10.5 per cent. The Saskatchewan rate of unemployment in June of 6.6 per cent was almost half the 11.9 per cent a year ago.

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS

Vision of Base Commander brought us Snowbirds

It is difficult to remember where I was and what happened this morning let alone five decades ago. But as soon as the notices and memories started appearing about the Snowbirds’ first official show at Canadian Forces Base Moose Jaw on July 11, Joyce Walter 1971, the memory chip clicked For Moose Jaw Express in and the details of that show ronjoy@sasktel.net became clear. Billed as the largest one-day show in North America, the Saskatchewan Homecoming Air Show got off to a wet start, and for a short time, there was some doubt the show would go ahead, whether crowds could be accommodated amidst the puddles and saturated parking lots. At our house on Coteau St. E., preparations for the show had begun the day before. I fried the chicken, made the salads, chilled the soft drinks, dusted the lawn chairs, folded a blanket and froze bottles of water to put into the food hamper. Our air show picnic was set and ready to go at a moment’s notice. Our young nephew was super excited to attend the show and when there was some doubt the show would go ahead,

he was despondent. Then the good news came. The show would begin at 1 p.m. (I believe that was the correct time) and the province was invited to the base. We loaded the car in a hurry and drove to the end of the next block so we could turn left and get onto the No. 2 Highway going south. What a shock we got when we got to that intersection and discovered cars lined up bumper to bumper and only crawling ahead by inches. We slapped our press pass for the vehicle onto the dash board and attempted to sneak into the line. None of the drivers were giving up an inch but they gave up some pretty creepy dirty looks. Then the city police arrived on scene, saw our official air show pass and halted traffic so we could get into line. It took awhile but we eventually got to the base and through the gates to the reserved parking area for the press. Finding a spot to position our chairs and picnic supplies was the next objective. A small grassy spot was available so we hurried to claim it for ourselves, possibly nudging others out of our path. We soon lost track of the nephew, he being of the opinion he needed to be right at the fence for the best vantage point. His whereabouts was eventually discovered and the day proceeded. It was shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers from near and far, all there to see an amazing lineup of civilian and military aircraft, but most importantly to

see the Snowbirds, named in a contest led by Lois Boyle, administrative assistant to Base Commander Col. O.B. Philp. Both are now deceased but their work towards ensuring the existence of the Snowbirds air demonstration team will always be remembered as the Squadron celebrates its history later this year. Meanwhile, back at the 1971 air show, rented porta potties couldn’t handle the crowds, nor could the food vendors. Col. Philp’s expectations for the day were met and exceeded. Unfortunately many potential attendees from all four directions went home without making it to the Base gates. It was estimated by some means that 45,000 attended the show and another 40,000 went home unhappy. Of course they grumbled and were disappointed but those in attendance sent up exuberant cheers in their absence when the Snowbirds performed that memorable show. At the end of the day, we retrieved our nephew and our other belongings and made our way to the car. Getting home took awhile and for some reason, traffic directors paid absolutely no attention to our official passes. Imagine that! Joyce Walter can be reached at ronjoy@sasktel.net

New police recruits urged to serve others, overcome challenges Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The four new police recruits pose for pictures after the swearing-in ceremony. From left are constables Calee Sawyer, Dustin Caplette-Tarrant, Gradyn Childerhose and Sarah Kristy. Photo by Jason G. Antonio New police recruit Const. Sarah Kristy gave an enthusiastic fist pump while reading the police oath during a recent swearing-in ceremony, an action that accompanied her ecstatic smile. Kristy and fellow recruits Dustin Caplette-Tarrant, Gradyn Childerhose and Calee Sawyer were the centres of attention on July 16 in the newly renovated A.E. Peacock High School Auditorium, as Judge Brian Hendrickson officially affirmed them into the Moose Jaw Police Service. Afterward, family and friends had the opportunity to take pictures with the new officers. The recruits will now spend the next 20 weeks going through training school. “This day means a lot,” Kristy, 36, said afterward. She switched careers two years ago and completed policing college in Manitoba, and when she saw an opening in Moose Jaw, she jumped at it, she explained. She

and her husband are a military family — he now works at the airbase — and wanted to live in the heart of Canada. Kristy has followed the Moose Jaw Police Service for the last two years and has seen the internal changes that Police Chief Rick Bourassa has made, she continued. That gave her confidence knowing she would be working with a chain of command that “gives a darn about the family,” work-life balance, and how shifts are scheduled. The fact the community is safe and affordable was also drawing points, Kristy said. They have lived almost everywhere in Canada, which made it difficult for her to build up her hairdressing business, but now they have the chance to plant roots in one place. Becoming a police officer will allow Kristy to show her two kids and other children that it’s possible to reach this point, especially from a low socio-economic background. While her mother didn’t think

college was possible, her in-laws said they would support her financially if she wanted to go to school. “So when I saw that tiger’s tale, I grabbed it, and I had great success as the top candidate in my last college, and I’m looking forward to showing that here,” Kristy added. Overcoming challenges was one theme discussed during the swearing-in ceremony, along with serving the community. Mayor Fraser Tolmie, chairman of the Board of Police Commissioners, pointed out that the previous group of recruits trained during the early stages of the pandemic. Yet, he reminded the four new officers that the police service wants to help them succeed even now. Furthermore, the organization wants to care for their families, who, in turn, are there to support the recruits through challenges such as exams or fitness activities. The recruits will be “stretched to the max” and tested during training since they will be tested on the street, Tolmie continued. Further, since many people in the community need support, the recruits will have to help them “through thick and thin.” Besides welcoming the recruits, the cer-

emony was also about recognizing their character and integrity, Bourassa said. While they faced tough entrance exams — including aptitude and intelligence tests — what the police service wants is people with sound inner qualities. Law enforcement is a small part of what police do since most of their work is to support people who are struggling, he continued. Police work in the margins with people who feel excluded from society. While it’s challenging to work in that area, it’s also rewarding. “We are crime preventers, we are peacekeepers, we are problem solvers, we’re community builders,” he added. “And our goal is to continue building a community that is safe, that’s harmonious where everyone gets along, and that’s inclusive … .” Judge Hendrickson echoed Bourassa’s comments, saying the best peace officer is not necessarily someone who puts people in jail but is a good citizen, neighbour, mediator, problem-solver and ambassador. He encouraged them to seek out role models in the organization, work hard and do their best to serve Moose Jaw.

This past week, the Hillcrest Golf Club hosted the Golf Saskatchewan Juniors’ Provincial championships. The young guns shot the lights out and showed their expertise on the course; congratulations to all the winners. Twenty-five years ago or more, I made a decision to be one of those golfing wives that wasn’t initially keen on spending a few afternoons on the golf course Joan Ritchie throughout the summer. It was EDITOR painstaking business, some tears and frustration, a little embarrassment on occasion when I swiped at the ball numerous times or duffed-it when seasoned peers were present, but in the long-term, it was a decision that has paid off in aces over the years. After all these years, I can personally attest to the many benefits golf can provide for an individual. My initial reasoning to golf was because it is a relationship builder and provided an opportunity to spend more time with my hubby, maybe a little selfish but never-the-less, a good time to get some exercise, have some fun together and bond. He was graciously patient with my skill level, too, offering a little advice at times that was either appreciated or ignored, depending on the level of frustration experienced during the game. He continues to coach because I am still a work in progress. As one knows, it seems that not all games are equal. On certain days, the golf clubs and ball align to accommodate a good game and pleasant outing; other times, the rogue ball avoids any semblance of order. One thing is for sure, during the ‘rough’ games, a person’s character is challenged so you decide whether to push-through or give-up; it becomes a suck-it-up or-else experience. After awhile, pride goes out the window and a person realizes you’re only playing against yourself so perfect your swing and lessen your strokes and putts, set new goals and make new friends. That has been one of the greatest benefits for me. After playing in a women’s league for a few years, faces become acquaintances and friendships develop. It has become an afternoon a week that I look forward to as we share the few days’ goings-on in-between the swings and sometimes swears, but all with smiles in camaraderie. On other days, it’s fun, too, as we golf with our sons and grandsons, sistas and bros and games with others of-likekind. It’s just an all-round good time and it’s so great when people can bond around something that is healthy and challenging. The ‘19th-hole’ is probably my favourite, though; that’s when we debrief, refresh and recoup. We should consider ourselves very fortunate to have three golf courses within city limits that offer different strokes for different folks. Within an hour or so, the list of courses is astounding for golfers at all levels. It matters not if you are young or old, golf is a sport made for you. One of our 5 ½ year old grandsons has embraced the game wholeheartedly and is already working past his first set of lessons. It seems, the love of golf is contagious from generation to generation!

Business owner Kyra Klassen makes first court appearance on voyeurism charges Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw businesswoman Kyra Klassen made her first appearance in Regina provincial court on July 14 concerning two allegations of voyeurism. Klassen’s lawyer, Talon Regent, appeared by phone on her behalf. Her presence was waived, which means she did not have to appear personally. Regent entered pleas of not guilty for Klassen and told the judge that he was still waiting for disclosure. Disclosure is a copy of the evidence that the Crown and police have collected to prosecute a case. The Crown prosecutor indicated that he had asked the Regina Police Service for additional disclosure the day before and suggested that Klassen’s case be adjourned to Wednesday, Aug. 4. Regent agreed to the adjournment date. That ended Klassen’s matter for the day. The only release conditions Klassen faces include having no contact with the victims and not being anywhere near their home, work, or school. Klassen, 35, from Caronport, owns Dance Fitness with Kyra in Moose Jaw. Based on information previously

reported, Klassen is facing allegations that she secretly photographed two nude women last year and posted the images to an online chat group without their permission. Regina police became involved in the case on April 16, 2020, although the allegations stem from an incident on Feb. 1, 2020, according to the Regina Police Service. The victims are two adult women, and they reported that they and Klassen were friends and had been attending a learning event in The Queen City. All three stayed together during their trip. The two women allege that Klassen took photos of each of them either during or after their showers when they were not clothed, the police service said. Klassen is then alleged to have posted the pictures to a social media chat group without the women’s consent. The two women are from Moose Jaw and the surrounding area and initially contacted the Moose Jaw Police Service on Feb. 9, 2020, which then transferred the file to Regina. Police then took Klassen into custody on March 2 and charged her with two counts of voyeurism.

Police board members to get Moose Jaw to host provincial provincial training on roles and police chiefs conference in governance issues October Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Members of the Moose Jaw Board of Police Commissioners will have the opportunity this November to participate in training to help them better understand their roles, responsibilities and governance issues. The Saskatchewan Police Commission (SPC) will provide this training in Saskatoon on Wednesday, Nov. 17 and in Regina on Tuesday, Nov. 23. The last training sessions were held in those cities in 2019. All board members — including new members and those who have already received training — will be required to attend this mandatory training as stipulated in The Police Act, 1990. The Saskatchewan Police College has offered this type of training in the past. At each seminar, the target audience will likely be composed of boards of police commissioner members, municipal administrators, executive members of the Sas-

katchewan Federation of Police Officers, and police chiefs from across Saskatchewan. Rick Bourassa, police chief for the Moose Jaw Police Service, presented the seminar invitations to the Board of Police Commissioners during its recent meeting. Commissioner Mary Lee Booth asked Bourassa to remind the SPC that the board’s one-year term ends one month after the training occurs, and some members might move on. She thought the training was invaluable — especially for new members — but thought the board might have to change its bylaws to allow for longer terms and the training to be worthwhile in the long-term. “I have relayed that message before,” said Bourassa. “There is a new executive director of the Saskatchewan Police Commission … and I will relay that message to him.”

Crimes committed against people fell by 12.5% in June, data shows Jason G. Antonio Moose Jaw Express

The number of crimes committed against people in Moose Jaw declined in June compared to 2020, while the number of service calls that police have answered this year is slightly up. There were 37 total crimes committed against people last month, as compared to 41 incidents during the same time last year, according to statistical data from the Moose Jaw Police Service. Meanwhile, year-to-date (YTD) crimes against people stood at 239 incidents versus 273 crimes the year before, a decline of 12.5 per cent. “We are certainly happy to see that,” Police Chief Rick Bourassa said during the recent Board of Police Commissioners meeting, adding the organization is working to provide data on the quantity of drugs police seize during their investigations and will provide that information in the future. Crimes against people Data for June 2021 versus 2020 show: · Assaults (sexual, common, with a weapon, aggravated, against police): 24 / 21 · Robbery: 0 / 1 · Threats under Sec. 810: 4 / 4 · Domestic disputes: 9 / 15 Year-to-date data for 2021 compared to 2020 shows: · Attempted murder: 2 / 1 · Assaults: 125 / 140 · Robbery: 1 / 6 · Threats: 23 / 49 · Domestic disputes: 88 / 77 Crimes against property Total crimes against property as of June had declined three per cent compared to the same time last year, to 574 incidents from 592 occurrences, the data showed.

Data for June 2021 versus 2020 showed: · Break-ins: 18 / 20 · Motor vehicle thefts: 8 / 3 · Theft over $5,000: 0 / 0 · Theft under $5,000: 30 / 47 · Arson: 0 / 0 · Mischief over $5,000: 26 / 40 Year-to-date data for 2021 compared to 2020 shows: · Break-ins: 133/ 137 · Motor vehicle thefts: 31 / 36 · Theft over $5,000: 6 / 3 · Theft under $5,000: 250 / 263 · Arson: 5 / 4 · Mischief over $5,000: 149 / 149 Other crimes Year-to-date, police have issued 61 tickets for impaired driving, compared to 40 tickets issued during the same time last year. Officers have also handled 373 people failing to comply with court orders, versus 334 incidents last year. Other YTD data for 2021 versus 2020 shows: · Pandemic responses: 79 / 75 · Motor vehicle collisions over $1,000: 93 / 105 · Provincial liquor infractions: 87 / 71 · Summary offence tickets: 1,013 / 694 · Drugs: 28 / 16 · Cocaine: 4 / 3 · Cannabis: 4 / 3 · Methamphetamines: 9 / 2 · Other CDSA drugs: 11 / 8 Meanwhile, Moose Jaw police have responded to 7,457 calls for service so far this year, compared to 7,360 calls during the same time last year.

Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Moose Jaw will host the biannual meeting and dinner of the Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police this fall, the first time since 2019 that the organization has met in person. The association (SACP) meets twice a year and is an organization that includes senior police personnel and several provincial and national agencies that have public safety and justice system responsibilities. SACP did not hold a meeting with the full membership during the pandemic but did meet by video in smaller groups. In anticipation of the public health order restrictions lifting, the organization plans to hold its first in-person meeting of the full membership in nearly two years. Moose Jaw was scheduled to host the SACP meeting in the spring of 2019, but

that was cancelled due to the pandemic, Moose Jaw Police Chief Rick Bourassa said during the Board of Police Commissioners meeting on July 13. Instead, the Friendly City will host the two-day conference on Oct. 5 and 6, with the awards dinner held on Oct. 5 to recognize the outstanding achievements of police officers from across Saskatchewan. “This is something good. It’s kind of like a good kickoff for everyone,” said board chairman Mayor Fraser Tolmie. “We get to host it and we are able to get everyone back together.” Members of the police board have been invited to attend the dinner. In addition, Tolmie is expected to address the SACP membership on the morning of Oct. 5.

Overnight storms add to total active fires in northern Sask., several communities threatened

The Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency is still working to contain a number of fires in the northern portion of the province, as dry conditions and storms continue to create concerns for fire crews. Steve Roberts, vice-president of operations at the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency, provided an update on the situation to the media on July 16. A total of 137 wildfires are currently active in the province, an increase from 129 reported yesterday, with 26 considered not contained. Roberts said the jump in numbers can be attributed to a storm cell that passed through the north last night, igniting several more fires and “likely more by the end of today.” The provincial fire ban will remain in place for at least the next few days, as continued dry conditions still pose a concern for officials despite approaching storm systems on radar.

Wireless services are still operating, but under a large demand that is causing congestion. Roberts said the SPSA has added 58 local firefighters to join the crews fighting the blazes today, as well as obtained pumper engines and crews from fire departments to assist with community protection near South End and Dillon.

Saskatchewan’s real estate market continued to remain strong in June, although data from the Saskatchewan Realtors Association (SRA) shows the market is levelling off from earlier highs in the year. Sales in Moose Jaw in June increased to 79 homes sold compared to 69 units sold in June 2020, which is above the five-year average of 52 homes sold and above the 10-year average of 53 units sold, according to the SRA data. Year-to-date (YTD), sales of homes in Moose Jaw stood at 359 units sold compared to 201 homes sold YTD in 2020. Sales volumes increased slightly in June to $16.8 million from $16.1 million last June. This is above the five-year average of $12.7 million and above the 10-year average of $14 million. Year-to-date, sales volumes in Moose Jaw stand at $83.2 million, which is an increase from $13.3 million last year. The number of new listings rose to 106 units last month compared to 93 homes from the year before, the data showed. This is above the five-year average of 101 homes listed and above the 10-year average of 102 units on the market. Year-to-date, the number of new listings in Moose Jaw stood at 95 units compared to 72 homes last year. Overall, active listings of homes in the city increased to 251 units compared to 242 from the year before. Inventory in the community stood at 3.2 months, which is below 3.5 months from last year and is below the five-year average of 4.5 months. Meanwhile, the sales to listing ratio was 74.5 per cent, which means market conditions favour sellers, the SRA said. Homes in Moose Jaw stayed on the market for an average of 48 days in June, down from 74 days last year, below the five-year average of 62 days and below the 10-year average of 55 days. According to the MLS Home Price Index,

the price of a single-family home increased to $221,300 in June compared to $206,000 last year. Saskatchewan real estate Saskatchewan’s real estate market remained strong throughout June, as 1,914 homes sold that month, increasing from 1,684 homes sold last June, the SRA said. Year-to-date, the number of homes sold throughout the province increased to 9,427 units from 5,690 units last year. The Home Price Index showed that the price of a single-family home throughout Saskatchewan increased to $288,500 from $262,700. Meanwhile, inventories of homes were down in 23 of 24 markets that the SRA tracks. “The market continues to level off from the highs seen earlier this year,” said CEO Chris Guerette. “This month-over-month levelling off in activity is expected and is being seen across the country. “As more people get their (COVID-19) vaccines and the economy continues to open up, people’s spending decisions are going to include things other than housing, and that’s going to temper demand somewhat. But so far, market activity remains positive.” Some policymakers had hoped the new mortgage rules that came into effect June 1 would moderate demand, she continued. While it’s too early to tell what the full effect of those tighter rules will be, they don’t seem to have had a major effect in Saskatchewan. Across the province, sales were still up nearly 18 per cent and prices were up almost 10 per cent. “The jump in sales and drop in inventory — despite efforts to cool the market — suggests the market is still quite strong,” Guerette added, “and if we want to see prices moderate, policy efforts should be aimed at increasing supply, rather than trying to stifle demand.”

USask expanding medical program at Regina campus to include first-year students By Larissa Kurz - Glacier Media

Saskatchewan medical students will soon have a new option to complete their fouryear education entirely in the Queen City, as the University of Saskatchewan is preparing to expand its program at the Regina campus very soon. A recent announcement by USask shared that Regina’s satellite campus will be accepting first-year students to begin their medical studies beginning in 2022. Dr Gill White, asso- Previously, the Reciation dean of the gina campus only College of Medicine accommodated upRegina campus, said per-year students, the program chang- with program apes are a “win-win” plicants required for everyone in- to complete their volved.

more opportunity to students pursuing a career in medicine. “The College of Medicine is always interested in distributing students across the province, and this is part of that plan,” said White. “It’s exciting, is probably the best term to use. We’ve been moving in this direction for some time [and] we think this is a win-win situation for us.” The Regina campus admits approximately 100 students each year, said White. With the beginning of the expanded program, 40 of those students will be first-years who will then go on to complete their training entirely in Regina. Including more students in Regina will help teaching capacity at the Saskatoon campus, said White, and provide a more cohesive environment for students moving forward. “It helps for our students to develop a sense of camaraderie,” said White. “That group of 40 students can now start in year one, get to know our teachers and staff, and I think that just creates a comfort zone for them. “ White anticipates the new option could entice more potential students in south central Saskatchewan into pursuing a medical degree with USask in Regina.

The option of completing an entire undergrad degree in one place allows students to potentially take on lower relocation and living costs, said White, especially for those already from Regina and area. “I don’t think it’s any secret that the debt load, when they finish medical school and head into post-graduate training, is fairly substantial,” said White. “So, if there’s The medical program is delivered on site at some way of trying to influence that and the Regina General Hospital, which is unhelp students a little bit, we’re open to try dergoing some renovations in preparation and do that.” for the expansion.

Interesting recipes come from variety of sources By Joyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express

It is difficult to remember the sources of recipe clippings that make their way into scribblers and scrapbooks, or folded to fit into small recipe boxes. As I looked through a binder of such clippings and scribblings, the following three recipes caught my eye. ••• Panic Casserole 4 onions, sliced 4 potatoes, peeled and sliced 1 lb. lean hamburger, cooked and crumbled 1 cup rice, uncooked 2 cups chopped celery 2 cups diced carrots 2 cans cream of tomato or mushroom soup 2 cups boiling water salt, pepper and spices to taste Spray large casserole or roaster with cooking spray. Layer onions, potatoes, cooked hamburger, rice, celery and carrots in the prepared dish. In a separate bowl mix the soup, water and spices and pour over the vegetables and meat. Cover and

bake at 250-350 degrees F for 3-5 hours. Leftovers may be frozen for later use. ••• Ranch Roasted Potatoes 2 lbs. potatoes, unpeeled and cut into small chunks 1/2 cup bottled ranch dressing 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese and more for topping 1/4 cup crumbled, cooked bacon 1 tbsp. dill mix salt and pepper to taste 3 green onions, chopped for topping Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix ranch dressing, dill, cheese and bacon. Add potatoes and salt and pepper and toss to coat. Spoon into a greased 9x13 inch dish. Cover with foil and bake for 60 minutes. At the 30 minute mark, stir gently to rotate potatoes. Remove foil. Raise temperature to 400 degrees F and stir again during the final 30 minutes. Sprinkle on more

cheese and bake about 10 minutes longer until it is browned and bubbly. Remove from oven and sprinkle onions on top as a garnish. ••• Crockpot Apple Crisp 2-3 apples, peeled and sliced 1/3 cup packed brown sugar 1 tsp. each cinnamon and nutmeg 2 cups oatmeal 4 cups water Mix apples, sugar and spices and put into the crockpot. Pour the oatmeal over the apples. Then pour in the water. Do not stir. Cook for 8-9 hours on low heat. Do not remove lid for at least three hours into cooking time. Do not stir. At the end of the cooking time, turn off heat and let stand about 15 minutes before scooping out servings. Serve with ice cream, whipped cream or caramel topping. Leftovers may be frozen in single servings. Joyce Walter can be reached at ronjoy@sasktel.net

Tunnels of Moose Jaw to reopen after being closed 487 days Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

It has been 487 days since the Tunnels of Moose Jaw last promoted bootleggers, gangsters and Chinese immigrants, but after 16 long months, those legendary characters are set to return. The Chicago Connection offered their first tour when the business reopened on Friday, July 16. This popular tour takes visitors back to 1929 and gangster Al Capone’s bootlegging organization. Guests start in businesswoman Miss Fanny’s club and end up in a tunnel somewhere underground. Passage to Fortune, another popular tour that looks at early Chinese immigration to Moose Jaw, will likely return later this summer or the fall. The Tunnels of Moose Jaw closed on March 17, 2020, and while that closure was difficult for everyone, there were some silver linings, Kelly Carty, business development manager, said. This “long pause” gave staff the time to refurbish, renovate and restore objects, sets, costumes and scripts. “I worked every day. I joked that I was unemployed for one day, and then it’s like, ‘Oh no, we’ve got to do this,’ so it’s

been exciting to have the chance to up our game,” she remarked. This closure allowed the business to dig deeper into certain characters and flesh out their stories. For example, not only did the business renovate Miss Fanny’s club, but it also made it more explicit that she is a capable businesswoman. While the Chicago Connection tour is still fun and filled with jokes, more history was added to provide a better picture. “We’re so excited (to present the enhanced tour). It was really fun to have our returning staff come back and see the spaces. We even refurbished the bathroom,” said Carty. What’s also exciting is that the business has a new ticket system and website that bring the Tunnels of Moose Jaw’s operations into the 21st century, she continued. Visitors can now book their tickets online, something that was not possible before. For more than a year, construction crews have been working at 32 Manitoba Street West and remodelling the upstairs and the downstairs of one section of the building. This work is preparing for a new tour that the Tunnels of Moose Jaw plans to offer —

and announce — soon. Carty stated that she would not reveal what the new tour is about but noted it would showcase a different period of Moose Jaw’s history. The script is written and the sets are almost finished, and once the tour is operational, visitors will likely not believe what’s underneath their feet. Carty was unsure when Passage to Fortune would return since restoration work was required after water damaged some sets. However, the business changed the story and built up the Chinese characters, including doing a better job promoting their businesses and their use of cultural medicines. “As opposed to just talking about them as being victims, we’ve empowered them … ,” she said. “I’m super excited for people to see that.” The COVID-19 pandemic is still ever-present, so the Tunnels of Moose Jaw has changed how often it gives tours. The tours were originally offered every 15 minutes, but they will now be given every 30 minutes. While tours have been offered until 8 p.m. during the summer, everything will depend on whether people come out

and any lingering pandemic restrictions. For more information and to book tickets, visit https://tunnelsofmoosejaw.com.

Moose Jaw EMS joining Medavie Health Services West Services to remain the same, and even expand, for MHS West - Moose Jaw Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The name, logo and uniforms might change, but Moose Jaw EMS will still offer the same services. The name will change, the uniforms and logos will be different, but Moose Jaw and District EMS will continue to offer the same services -- and even more -- after joining with Medavie Health Services West. The move sees the local organization join forces with one of the largest contracted providers of EMS services in Canada, with 4,300 health care professionals in six provinces. They currently also run an ambulance service in Saskatoon. “I think first and foremost, the public shouldn’t see any impact to the emergency services we provide,” said Moose Jaw EMS chief Kyle Sereda. “The same resources that are on the street today will be there in the coming weeks, so we want to assure the public that nothing will change that way: you pick up the phone and call 911 we’ll still be there.” What will change is the sheer amount of resources that will be available to Moose Jaw EMS -- which will be rechristened

MHS West - Moose Jaw -- combined with a high level of experience at a national level. Sereda pointed to their current mobile integrated health solutions program, which is essentially a paramedic in the community doing non-emergency related things, as something that could see an increase in the future. “They’ll be able to support those programs and bring new programs to Moose Jaw to compliment the emergency side of things,” Sereda said. “A community paramedic has resources where they can connect you to mental health, detox, addictions, home care and public health, all those different parts of health care that can be daunting at times. It’s ‘I need help, but I don’t know where to start’. We hope that will evolve and improve and grow and we’ll be able to do with Medavie’s experience.” There will also be no change when it comes to staffing -- Sereda remains as chief, and Angela Sereda, the current deputy chief, will take over as the manager of mobile integrated health. “At MHS West, we are committed to providing innovative health solutions that serve to meet the needs of our patients and communities,” says Gerald Schriemer, Chief Operating Officer, Medavie Health Services West, in a press release announcing the move. “We look forward to welcoming the team from Moose Jaw & District EMS and Central Butte to our family of companies. As well, working collaboratively with everyone on-the-ground to build on the many successes achieved to date, while evolving and enhancing service deliveries into the future.”

Tom Lukiwski Report MP Moose Jaw -Lake Centre -Lanigan The other day, Justin Trudeau was talking about the “toxic”, “partisan” and “unproductive” nature of politics. I’m not sure how he would know, since he spent little time in Parliament during the pandemic, but his comments don’t line up with what I saw in the most recent session of Parliament. Although I’m sure the Liberals didn’t like it, there were numerous examples in this minority Parliament of the opposition parties passing legislation for the benefit of Canada. Conservative MP Phillip Lawrence introduced a bill to remove the carbon tax from farm fuel purchases, which was passed with cooperation from other opposition parties. All parties in Parliament, except the Liberal cabinet, passed a Conservative motion to condemn the Chinese genocide of the Uyghur people. The Conservatives and NDP cooperated to pass a bill banning the export of non-recyclable plastic waste to Third World countries. Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux introduced a bill to double compassionate bereavement leave for workers in federally

regulated sectors who have lost a loved one. It passed unanimously. The House also passed unanimously Conservative MP Len Webber’s bill to allow people to register as organ donors on their tax returns. Finally, Conservative MP Larry Maguire introduced a bill that would reduce financial burdens of farm families to transfer their business to a family member. It would amend the Income Tax Act to make the tax charged on the sale of one of those businesses to a family member equal to what it would be charged if sold to a non-family member, which has a lower tax rate. In this case, we not only got all the other Opposition members to vote for it, but we even got a few Liberals to break ranks. Far from being “toxic” and “unproductive”, this session of Parliament saw MPs from different parties working cooperatively together with the Conservatives taking the lead. We almost had a better track record at getting bills passed this session than the Liberals! And that’s likely what lies at the heart of Trudeau’s insults. Parliament didn’t always do what he wanted. Parliament didn’t always jump when he snapped his fingers. No doubt this was frustrating for him, so while he found the environment toxic, many other Canadians did not. At the bottom of it all, Trudeau’s words are just propaganda. He’s trying to set up an excuse to call an election. He’s trying to make it sound as though Parliament is hopelessly unproductive and needs a reset. But, as usual with Justin Trudeau, facts and reality don’t match his words.

Artists’ sale of metalworks to support mental health projects in Moose Jaw Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Non-profit group Square One Community is excited that two Moose Jaw artists are using their talents with metalwork to support the organization’s efforts to address homelessness and mental health issues. Bill and Laurette Keen have created two sculptured trees around the theme of “Stronger Together,” where residents can purchase an engraved leaf that will be permanently displayed on the trees. Donors will receive a bronze leaf for $100, a silver leaf for $200, or a gold leaf for $300. The trees and engraved leaves will later be permanently displayed at Bill and Laurette Keen have created two trees the John Howard Society. In addicomposed of metal as part of their “Stronger tion, the society will issue tax reTogether” mental health project. Photo courte- ceipts to all donors. sy the Keens The Keens will also feature 40 pieces of their metalwork at the Mosaic Art Gallery in the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre from Wednesday, July 28 to Tuesday, Aug. 31. All proceeds from the W.C. Keen Metal Sculpture Show and Sale will support Square One Community. ‘Immense creativity’ “We are so grateful to them. It is the most generous gesture for them. It just shows the investment they’re making — and want to make — in mental health in our community and mental well-being … ,” said Della Ferguson, a board member and the fundraising chairwoman for Square One. The “immense creativity” they put into everything is great, while all their work — into which they pour their love, care and personality — has an affirming message, she added. The fact they are fundraising for mental health and wellness “is a model of how community comes together and how we are stronger together.” A tragic incident The Keens focused on mental health since they are passionate about this topic, they explained. They believe that mental illness is the root of many ills in society but noted people are talking about it more after years of hiding it. The death by suicide of a 20-year-old university football player in Regina last year deeply affected the Keens. Samwel Uko twice sought help from the General Hospital on May 21, 2020. He was cleared to leave the first time and was escorted out by security the second time for refusing to give his name. He then walked to Wascana Lake and is presumed to have drowned himself. “When I saw that on the news, I thought, ‘What a waste,’” Mr. Keen said. “This fella, he was trying so hard to get help, and he could not get help. That is really one of the things that opened my eyes.” The Keens added that since Moose Jaw has supported them for 50 years, they see this as their chance to give back. Holistic programming The money raised from these two initiatives will be helpful, especially since Square One is a new organization and needs help to propel it into action, Ferguson said. The non-profit will use the money for programming, including providing the less fortunate with a home and wrapping a support system around them. A program co-ordinator will put this objective into action. This might include assisting people with financial planning, grocery shopping, creating well-balanced meals and providing mental health supports.

“So it’s that holistic programming to support a person and help them start out at square one in their life as they’re trying to rebuild,” added Ferguson. Square One Community — along with its many community partners — deals with mental health regularly, especially since people who are homeless face those challenges along with substance abuse or past traumas, she added. That is why it is important to have trauma-informed care so support networks can meet people where they Bill and Laurette Keen have worked as artists are in life. in Moose Jaw for 50 years.

Festival of Words concludes 25th annual event with applause, big plans for future Look for next week’s feature overview of the Festival in Moose Jaw Express It was a weekend full of literature, panel discussions and connecting with authors about their craft, and organizers of the Saskatchewan Festival of Words are feeling great about how the 25th anniversary event was received. “I think people really enjoyed it. You got a little bit of Moose Jaw online, and that’s really a highlight, is giving that feeling,” said Amanda Farnel, operations manager and, previously, interim director. The Festival took place from July 15-18 as a hybrid event that included both virtual and in-person sessions for guests to attend — a decision that ended up being very last-minute but well worth the effort. “It was a really difficult year for planning, we started out planning a fully in-person Festival, and then we moved to fully online, and then partially online,” said Farnel. “It’s just been a crazy rollercoaster, where we were still planning events a few weeks before the Festival.” Most author readings, panels, workshops and Q&As were held by livestream on the Festival’s independent website, which also featured virtual tours of Festival venues, daily trivia and a video discussion room for the after-panel lobby experience. But Farnel and the team happily added some in-person opportunities to attend Festival events once the province confirmed pandemic restrictions would be lifted in time.

By Larissa Kurz - Glacier Media

FoW summary: The 25th annual Festival of Words has concluded, after a fourday-long schedule of virtual and in-person events that lived up to the popular literary festival’s reputation. (photos by Larissa Kurz) Working with the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre, the Mae Wilson Theatre was the place to be during the weekend, as guests were invited to watch the virtual sessions on the big screen in the theatre, enjoy a live concert from country-rock artist Val Halla and attend a series of three in-person author panels. “People have been saying how much it meant that we’ve done some in-person and online,” said Farnel. “So I’m very happy that everything turned out and everyone seems really happy with how it went.” Farnel said the return of a live audience to the concert was definitely a highlight, among other great moments over the weekend. “I loved the panel on ‘festivals from an author’s perspective,’ that was really great,” said Farnel. “And the [after-event video rooms] were great, because it became almost like a little focus group on what people want to see in future years, [and]

it’s great to see people are so invested and willing to give us ideas.” The goal of this year’s Festival was to feel as normal as possible, said Farnel, as the popular event celebrated 25 very successful years in operation. “We didn’t want it to be another session you’re watching on a screen, we wanted it to be more like entertainment, and I think we pulled it off,” said Farnel. ‘We were trying to make it feel in-person, but online and you’ll never capture that fully but I think we did pretty well.” Attendee and author feedback was overwhelmingly positive, she continued, and organizers are already looking forward to next year’s event. Farnel confirmed that moving forward in the future, the Festival is going to be keeping a virtual aspect even as sessions return to their usual delivery and volunteers, attendees and authors once again converge on the Friendly City for the weekend.

She also added that being forced into a virtual event last year due to the pandemic really pushed the Festival to adapt sooner than it’s natural timeline would have played out, but it turned out to be a positive move. “For years, we’ve been talking about doing more virtual stuff and we have incorporated it in the past, but this really forced us to completely reevaluate how we look at our festival events,” said Farnel. “It’s already giving us opportunities to get [guest authors] that we normally couldn’t because they can’t make it down for the four full days, so it’s really giving us more opportunity to expand and do some cool things.” Already confirmed for appearances at the 2022 Festival of Words are Giller Prize-winning travel writer Will Ferguson, Cree writer, poet and lawyer Michelle Good and author and screenwriter Emma Donoghue, who penned the novel Room and later adapted it into an Academy Award-winning film. The Book Launch session will also be making a return to the Festival, in partnership with Saskatoon-based publisher Thistledown Press. Recordings of all the sessions from this year’s Festival of Words will be available for anyone to view until July 31, hosted online at SKFOW25.com. A feature-overview of the festival will appear in next week’s edition of the Moose Jaw Express.

City Hall Council Notes

The next Executive Committee meeting is Monday, July 26.

City hall needs extra $150K to finish several intersection projects Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

City hall’s engineering services department needs an extra $150,000 to complete upgrades to several intersection projects since the budget for these initiatives faces a deficit of almost $130,000. During the July 12 regular council meeting, city council voted unanimously to approve the department’s request to transfer $150,000 from the 2021 SS1 storm sewer budget to the 2021 TR3 traffic control capital budget to complete the intersection upgrades. One incomplete intersection project dates back to 2016, while other unfinished initiatives include intersection upgrades, design and construction of a signalized intersection, pedestrian crossings, pathway completion, and an outstanding 2018 invoice. Two main projects include upgrades to the intersection at First Avenue Northwest and High Street West and installing traffic signals on Thatcher Drive East for the future Canadian Tire site. The department awarded this contract to Can-Traffic Services Ltd. — it was the only company to bid on the tender — for $989,745.32, including PST. This amount was 32 per cent over budget. Engineering services budgeted $1.15 million for the 2021 intersection upgrades budget, but the contract value came in at $1.31 million, the council report said. After factoring in a change order, additional expenses, and contingency,

the budget deficit is $127,309.68. Projects seeing deficits include the bid price for construction services this year (over by $101,089.72), upgrades to the Iron Bridge crosswalk (over by $3,457.68), and pathway construction at Thatcher Drive West and Main Street North on the north side that wasn’t completed in 2016 (over by $16,229.28). Other deficits include improvements to pedestrian crossings at Langdon Crescent, Athabasca Street East and First Avenue Northeast (over $54,930.76), and an outstanding invoice from 2018 of $1,592.93. Meanwhile, city hall budgeted $2.08 million in the 2021 storm sewer budget; $1.02 million is still available in this account. “This transfer will not affect any committed projects under SS1 storm sewers,” the report added. Council discussion Bevan Harlton, director of engineering services, explained that a new set of traffic lights will be installed on Thatcher Drive East between the Superstore entrance and Highland Road to accommodate the Canadian Tire development. (A review of a map shows the traffic lights will likely be near the entrance to Staples and that strip mall). That Canadian Tire site will have two access points, including one coming from the west and a second requiring

traffic lights so vehicles coming east can turn left, he continued. Installing these lights will mean cutting the centre median and installing a turning lane. “That’s a lot of lights along Thatcher there,” said Coun. Dawn Luhning. “But with the increase in traffic, it will be warranted. … That’s what happens when you get development on the outskirts.” The construction at the intersections near Langdon Crescent, Athabasca Street East and First Avenue Northeast will improve pedestrian access, Harlton continued. City hall has received many complaints during the last four years, while the public works advisory committee also brought it to the department’s attention. Work to improve these intersections included adding ramps, cutting back medians so pedestrians can walk straight across the street, and enhancing signs. Engineering department staff were made aware of the outstanding 2018 invoice during a construction meeting, Harlton told Coun. Heather Eby. A traffic technician reviewed that contract and confirmed that the city had some “hold backs” due to deficiencies that the contractor is supposed to address. “We’re still working with them on that to ensure they meet our standards,” he added. “That will be paid out this year. It is not something we contemplated (happening) at the start of the year.”

Retirement of city clerk prompts big department changes at city hall Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The retirement of city clerk/solicitor Myron Gulka-Tiechko has prompted organizational changes within city hall, including revising his position and creating a new role in that department. During the July 12 regular council meeting, city council voted unanimously to accept Gulka-Tiechko’s retirement “with regret,” revise the position of city clerk/solicitor to city solicitor/director of legislative services and enforcement, and create the position of city clerk. Gulka-Tiechko has been employed for 13 years with the City of Moose Jaw, after starting on Sept. 2, 2008. Before that, he spent nearly nine years in the legal department at SaskPower. These changes will include renaming the city clerk/solicitor’s department to the legislative and enforcement services department and replacing the director of legislative and enforcement services (city clerk/solicitor) with a position with the same skills, background, and experience, a council report said. Following these changes, the new legislative and enforcement services department would focus on: · City council/legislative agendas/business · Bylaw enforcement · Litigation · Legislative compliance and operational safety · Document management · Agreements · Lawsuits “The city clerk/solicitor advises — and experience has proven — that the existing dual nature of the position makes focus on either main function extremely difficult,” the report continued. “Further, there is a need to enhance bylaw enforcement, litigation and collections of fines and tickets.” The change in organizational structure and focus, splitting the city clerk/solicitor position into one revised position and creating a dedicated city clerk role will cost $75,000 annually in salary starting in 2022, said the report. However, with the renewed focus on enforcement and collection of parking tickets in this department, this additional cost could potentially be recovered. There will likely be minimal or no financial effect in 2021 with these changes, the report added. A sad departure During the discussion, every member of council expressed his or her appreciation for Gulka-Tiechko’s work with the city and his support for them. Mayor Fraser Tolmie was particularly thankful for the city clerk/solicitor, saying whenever he came into the office around 5:30 a.m. for interviews, Gulka-Tiechko was already there and had the coffee brewing — one of his passions, along with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Similarly, the city clerk was usually the last to leave at night. “I know how much time and hard work and effort you put into your job … ,” Tolmie said. “You’re a very well-organized person. I commend you on that. I will always miss that.” The mayor added that he enjoyed Gulka-Tiechko’s laugh

and his mentorship over the years. The right move These proposed changes won’t go into effect until after the 2022 budget discussion meetings, discussions that Coun. Dawn Luhning was eager to have. She thought the city clerk’s department was important and that adding bylaw enforcement services would help the community long-term. “I think there will be some good things that will come out of this new enforcement services in this department,” she added. Council is moving in the right direction by changing this department, agreed Coun. Crystal Froese. There are currently two city staff who handle bylaw enforcement and lack the necessary resources to be a strong team. Moving them from planning and development to legal services makes better sense. “We often get complaints from citizens about bylaws not being enforced or not having bylaw officers out there,” she added. “Well, we don’t have resources for it. So, we have to look at strengthening that part of our city.” Outstanding parking tickets Coun. Heather Eby was thrilled that council was making these changes incrementally instead of all at once. This will be a good move, she continued, since Moose Jaw has a problem with outstanding parking tickets. There is roughly $1 million “or some crazy number like that” that hasn’t been collected. There is about $940,000 in outstanding parking tickets dating back to June 2011, as the Moose Jaw Express reported in March. Eby hoped that these changes would have a positive effect on collections. She also wondered if the two employees

would move floors to join the city clerk’s department. These changes will ensure a focus on collecting money from parking tickets since more resources will be available, said city manager Jim Puffalt. While $940,000 is a large amount that city hall is “leaving on the table,” there is no way to deal with it without more resources. Puffalt added that those two employees might move floors but wouldn’t confirm anything until logistics and seating arrangements are worked out.

Eliminating train whistles would affect safety and increase liability, council learns Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Residents annoyed with train whistles will have to continue living with the inconvenience since eliminating the warnings could affect safety and add an extra $25 million to the city’s liability insurance. City administration has spoken with Canadian National Railway (CNR) and Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) about train whistle cessation in Moose Jaw. Municipal officials have particularly looked into eliminating train whistles at the CNR crossing on Thatcher Drive West and Iron Bridge Drive. City council received three complaints about train whistles during the past three years, a report said. These complainants asked council to eliminate train whistles and implement no-idling zones at train crossings within city limits. During the July 12 regular council meeting, city administration presented reasons why it would not be possible to implement train whistle cessation in Moose Jaw and documents about train accidents in Saskatchewan and Canada. Council unanimously voted to receive and file the report, essentially leaving the current situation with train whistles as it is. The respective transportation agencies for Canada and the United States mandate them to have train whistles at all public crossings since they are safety devices that alert motorists, pedestrians, trespassers and area con-

struction crews about approaching trains. “We are a rail town. We have 28 crossings in town,” Bevan Harlton, director of engineering services, said during the meeting. Neither CP nor CN recommends that Moose Jaw — or any community — invest time or money into designing and approving changes at these crossings since train whistles are about safety. Transport Canada statistics show 175 crossing accidents in 2019 in Canada, including 29 crossing accidents — and four deaths — in Saskatchewan. Meanwhile, there are roughly 17,000 public crossing across the country, of which Saskatchewan has 3,546 crossings, the second-highest number in Canada. Moose Jaw is the road authority for the 28 public railway crossings, although only six have flashing lights, bells, and gates. The municipality would be responsible for all costs to upgrade those crossings within 400 metres of the crossings. Staff in the engineering department dug up a report from Lloydminster from 2018, which showed it would cost roughly $375,000 to upgrade each rail crossing, said Harlton. However, he understood that that community did not pursue that project. With 22 rail crossings in Moose Jaw without lights, bells or gates, upgrading them all would likely cost $8.25 million. Moose Jaw is a rail town, and with the number of cross-

ings it has, train whistles are for safety whether people like them are not, said Coun. Dawn Luhning. Moose Jaw is also the largest CP rail hub in Canada — if not North America — for certain products. “That’s the city we live in,” she added. Changing the safety around rail crossings would be expensive with liability costs, Coun. Doug Blanc pointed out. While trains blow their horns, it’s usually for a few seconds anyway. Blanc talked to his son, who works for CN, and learned the only other community attempting to remove train whistles is Martensville. However, that municipality has attempted to do this for 10 years without success. The residents who complained to city council three years ago had initially approached CN and CP with their concerns but never heard back, which is why they came to the city, said Coun. Crystal Froese. She didn’t think council would be successful in eliminating train whistles since this is a federal issue. “We absolutely need train whistles in this city, especially in the middle of the night. We don’t know if someone is coming home at four in the morning (from work),” she added. City administration agreed to contact those concerned residents and inform them of council’s decision.

Another two months before Caribou and Ninth intersection fully upgraded, city says Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

City hall expects upgrades to the intersection at Caribou Street West and Ninth Avenue Northwest to take another two months, which means motorists will have to continue waiting patiently for the green light. Coun. Dawn Luhning raised the issue of how slowly the lights at the intersection turn green during the July 12 regular city council meeting. She pointed out that the previous light standards had sensors that detected vehicles and would change the lights faster if no one else was around. Now, though, traffic sits for a longer period waiting to go. “I want us to look at that,” she added. The municipality performed upgrades to that intersection except for the sensors and timing for the lights, informa-

tion contained in a report that council received during a strategic planning meeting in June, explained Bevan Harlton, director of engineering services. “Inductive loops” need to be installed to manage the lights better, but those — and the sensors — won’t be installed until the cast iron pipes in that area are replaced. “So, for the next six to eight weeks, it will run off a timer,” he added. “Those loops will be in before the end of summer.” Coun. Doug Blanc was also curious about the intersection, particularly with newly installed turning signs, some of which are covered. He wondered why city hall decided to turn the centre lane into a left-turn lane instead of al-

lowing both lanes to go forward. This information was also in the report presented during the strategic planning meeting, said Harlton. A traffic consultant recommended the change as part of a redesign plan; the left lane is now dedicated to left turns. Along with painted boxes on the road, these changes will help buses safely turn onto the roads. “The big one (important aspect) is that the dedicated leftturn lane is just safer. So when you’re making that left turn, you’re not looking in your rear-view mirror seeing if someone is going to rear-end you,” he added.

Ross Wells Park to host rock concert in support of youths’ mental health Jason G. Antonio- Moose Jaw Express

Ross Wells Ball Park will be rockin’ and rollin’ in August as several bands will jam out during a fundraiser to support the physical and mental health of students. River Street Promotions approached city hall about hosting an outdoor concert called Homestead ’21 at the ballpark on Saturday, Aug. 28. The group is a not-for-profit organization formed to connect audiences with entertainers while raising money to support its partners’ efforts to provide and promote mental health care, education and awareness initiatives. Two partners include Prairie South School Division and Holy Trinity Catholic School Division. The organization expects about 1,000 to 1,500 people to attend. River Street Promotions expects the event to start at 2 p.m. and end around 11 p.m. Alcohol will be served during the concert, while several area streets — Caribou Street East, Ross Crescent and Third Avenue Northeast — will be partially closed to accommodate food trucks and pedestrian traffic. The bands include Barney Bentall & The Cariboo Express, Dustin Bentall, JJ Shiplett, Nice Horse, and Kacy & Clayton. Tickets go on sale on Tuesday, July 20 and can be purchased at the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre. During the July 12 executive committee meeting, city council voted unanimously to receive and file the report. Seventy-five per cent of the proceeds will support the mental health initiatives, while 25 per cent will help with upgrades at the ballpark in exchange for city hall providing garbage cans, Scott Osmachenko, recreation services manager, said during the meeting. Since Ross Wells Ball Park is one of six city venues that allows for alcohol, the parks and recreation department is

working with event organizers to ensure all Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Association (SLGA) conditions are met before it approves the application, he continued. Organizers must also notify all area businesses and residents about the potential for excessive noise. Municipal bylaws state that outdoor public events that produce noise can do so from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., with permission required for anything outside those hours. Organizers have held a walkthrough at the ballpark with the fire department and police service, so the emergency and protective agencies understand what will be happening, Osmachenko said. The group agreed to install additional emergency exits to accommodate the projected attendee numbers and to provide event details to the police, while it also plans to have medical personnel and an ambulance on site. “We’re very excited about this project and having this concert, and what the resources will do not only for mental health but also for Ross Wells ballpark,” he added. After nearly 16 months of pandemic lockdowns and restrictions, to hold a concert that does something good for the community is typical of Moose Jaw, said Mayor Fraser Tolmie. He thought this would be a great event to attend, especially since the money raised will support mental health initiatives and upgrades to the ballpark. “I think this will be more than a concert; it will be a celebration for the community,” he added. This event will be a great way to bring together the community, while having it on Aug. 28 will allow people to adjust to the “new normal,” said Coun. Crystal Froese. She expected this to be a great event — she looks forward

to seeing Barney Bentall — and thought having it at Ross Wells was a suitable location. “People have been cooped up for the last year (to) 15 months. I think this is a great project,” agreed Coun. Doug Blanc. “Not only does it help mental health initiatives, but it also helps the Ross Wells Park, but more importantly, it gets people out. It gives them some freshness.” NOTICE OF INTENTION TO AMEND THE ZONING BYLAW NO. 5346 The Council of the City of Moose Jaw intends to consider a bylaw pursuant to The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend the City of Moose Jaw’s Zoning Bylaw No. 5346.

Seven-bay, 6,200-square-foot car wash to open on South Hill Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Residents on South Hill will soon have another location to clean their vehicles as a seven-bay car wash plans to open on Ninth Avenue Southwest. During the July 12 regular council meeting, city council voted unanimously to approve a discretionary use application for a car wash business at 885 Ninth Avenue Southwest. However, the company must design the site to accommodate vehicle line-ups and ensure they don’t impede traffic on the street. C&S Builders Ltd. applied on behalf of the property owners, who want to build a 558-square-metre (6,200-squarefoot) car wash in the C1 neighbourhood commercial district. The property — three lots totalling 18,250 square feet — is intended to provide commercial space in neighbourhoods and ensure residents’ needs are met. The property was previously a service station, which caused site contamination, a council report explained. Several discretionary uses have been approved there since then, including a daycare centre. However, the daycare closed in 2010 and the building was demolished, leaving the property vacant for 11 years. The property owners provided city hall with an environmental site assessment in late 2020, which stated that the

contamination levels are below the standards set by the Ministry of Environment. The zoning bylaw sets out several criteria that must be met before discretionary use applications are approved, such as: · The proposal conforms to the Official Community Plan (OCP) and any other land-use plan recommendations · There must be demand for the proposed use in the area and a limited supply of land available to accommodate the proposed use. The closest car wash is three blocks north of the proposed location, while the nearest location where a car wash would usually be permitted is about 550 metres away · Existing community infrastructure must be able to service the proposed development economically · The proposal must not be detrimental to the health, safety, convenience, or general welfare of residents living or working in the area According to the discretionary use application that C&S Builders submitted, the car wash could also include a pet wash area and bottled water dispenser location. Further, office or residential space over the middle area of the office below could also be included.

“The proposal meets all zoning bylaw requirements,” Michelle Sanson, director of planning and development, said during the meeting. Sanson indicated that several residents submitted emails with concerns, such as traffic increases, snow removal, sanitary sewer impacts, handling chemicals on-site, and sidewalk repairs. Yet, city administration believes the developer has addressed those issues, so it recommended approval of the project. She added that city administration responded to the emails and received no responses, likely indicating that those residents were satisfied with the answers. “That lot has been empty for a long time. It is part of my neighbourhood and I have no problem with it being there,” said Coun. Heather Eby. “I hope no one else has a problem (either).” There is only one other car wash on South Hill near Sixth Avenue Southwest and Home Street, Coun. Crystal Froese said. This new vehicle wash venue will have seven bays, which will be handy for residents living in and around that area.

Historic 1902 bell to be installed on new stand at Mosaic Place Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

While Moose Jaw’s historic town bell will soon have a new home at Mosaic Place, one city councillor is concerned that the project was awarded to a business without an open competition. City council approved up to $20,000 during the 2021 budget deliberations to construct a stand for the 119-year-old bell. Since those deliberations, the parks and recreation department has worked with the heritage advisory committee and Steady Metalworks of Moose Jaw to finalize the design and location of the bell stand. During the July 12 regular meeting, council voted unanimously to accept the design concept and location and directly award the fabrication and installation contract to Steady Metalworks for $17,775.44 plus taxes. The business is donating all design labour and shop labour to fabricate the stand, worth roughly $7,600. The stand is expected to be ready by September. The new bell stand will be composed of steel, stand 15 feet high, have a base of 10 square feet, and be installed on the northeast corner of Mosaic Place on First Avenue Northwest. A plaque will also be installed near the 1,500-pound bell to highlight its history and significance. For whom the bell tolls The Town of Moose Jaw purchased the bell in 1902 and erected it behind town hall on Main Street and River

Street. Back then, the bell hung on a 30-foot-tall wooden derrick that was rung for fires, curfews and to signal that prohibition was in effect. Seventy years later, it was moved to Crescent Park and displayed near the art gallery before it was removed and stored in the city yards in 2010 because of vandalism. Students from Saskatchewan Polytechnic refurbished the bell in 2018. The bell tolls for thee Coun. Crystal Froese, council representative on the heritage advisory committee, was excited to present the motion to council. “As a committee, we did oodles of research. We couldn’t find a photo of the bell when it was installed. (However), we found articles about the first ringing in 1903 by Mayor (Charles) Unwin,” she said. The committee thought about placing the bell near the Canadian Pacific Railway building on Main Street but found there were too many logistical hoops and costs, Froese continued. Conversely, Mosaic Place is near the original location and combines the past and the present in one space. The bell can be rung since there is a clapper for it, she added. However, the clapper will only be in place for special occasions; the committee doesn’t want anyone climb-

ing the structure to ring the bell. A sour note While this project was approved in the budget, the parks department directly awarded this contract to the company that designed it, said Coun. Dawn Luhning. She thought that the department should have tendered out the project unless its cost fell under a certain amount and was thus unnecessary. During those budget talks, Luhning was the only councillor to vote against allocating money to the project. One reason the contract was given to Steady Metalworks is that it was donating $7,600 of in-kind work, said Scott Osmachenko, acting parks and recreation department director. If this had been tendered, the business’ proposal would have been the highest one. “It is not an insignificant amount of donation, but it should have been tendered,” Luhning reiterated. However, she added that she had to ask the question as a councillor while her concern had nothing to do with the company itself. “We are all very aware of the work of Steady Metalworks (in the community) … ,” she added. “Sometimes when I sit here and represent who I represent and ask a question, I feel it can be misconstrued.”

Resident gets another two months to finish cleaning Alder Avenue property Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Property owner Blair Zopf has been slowly cleaning his yard and addressing concerns from city hall during the past four months but needs more time to finish the massive project. The City of Moose Jaw issued a property maintenance orNOTICE OF INTENTION TO AMEND OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN NO.5345 The Council of the City of Moose Jaw intends to consider a bylaw pursuant to The Planning and Development Act, 2007 to amend the City of Moose Jaw’s Official Community Plan No. 5345. The proposed bylaw amendment will exempt existing residential properties from the Intensive Livestock Operation separation distances prescribed in the Official Community Plan. This allows reconstruction of residential dwellings in the event of damage from accidental or natural causes. The amendment will also exempt industrial development from the separation distances. A copy of the proposed bylaw may be found on the City website at www.moosejaw.ca. Public feedback on the proposed bylaw may be directed to Planning and Development Services, 228 Main Street North, Moose Jaw, SK S6H 3J8, or by email at planning@moosejaw.ca. All written submissions must be received by 10:00 AM on Monday, August 9th, 2021. Questions may be directed to the Department of Planning and Development Services by email or by phone at 306-694-4443. A public hearing regarding the proposed bylaw will be held at the regular meeting of City Council in Council Chambers, City Hall, at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, August 9th, 2021.

der for 1008 Alder Avenue on Jan. 11 with a compliance date of March 17. Council later agreed to give Zopf until May 15 and again until July 15 to complete the order. During the July 12 executive committee meeting, council voted 6-1 to give Zopf another two-month extension to Sept. 15 since he had made positive progress in addressing city hall’s concerns about his property. Coun. Dawn Luhning was opposed. The recommendation must be approved during a regular council meeting to become official. So far, Zopf has obtained a professional structural engineer’s review of the home; removed stairs on the east side; removed the south deck; enclosed the east entrance to protect the entrance; repaired the west eavestrough; and demolished the attached garage. “There has been a significant amount of work done on the home and he has been working with our building official,” Michelle Sanson, director of planning and development, said during the meeting. However, the three main outstanding items Zopf must address are: · Providing paint or a similar protective membrane to protect the exterior wood siding and wood sheathing of the house · Replacing rotted framing on the south side, which requires the south porch to be removed; planning for this is ongoing · Installing eavestroughs and downspouts on the west and south sides of the porch In a letter to council, Zopf explained every step he had taken to fix his property and the home on it. He was fi-

nalizing the terms of a contract to paint the house, which depended on the availability of the two contractors he had contacted. The weather had prevented painters from starting, but trees had been removed to make it easier for them to access the building. Roofers are expected to start shingling in August, while Zopf said he was waiting on an engineer to complete plans for the west porch. However, the contractor has said his availability is limited in July. Therefore, Zopf hired a second contractor with more availability in August. “As I have stated previously, I have full intentions to complete all required repairs,” he said. “It would be appreciated if both my demonstrated commitment of what has been completed, as well as recognition of previously submitted (contractor’s) letter stating the fall as a date for completion be taken into consideration as you deliberate.” There has been some major work done on the property, based on the pictures that city administration has provided, Coun. Kim Robinson said. He didn’t think council or city hall had attempted to make this an impossible project for Zopf, considering the property owner has worked with the city in a co-operative manner. “It is a hard time to spend money. I realize it is certainly necessary for this property, but it’s always tough to come up with extra money like that,” he added. Coun. Heather Eby also appreciated the work Zopf was doing. “I think it’s refreshing to see someone take this kind of order so seriously and to put in work and the finances to get this work done,” she added. “Often, we don’t see that kind of compliance.”

New wheat straw pulp company receives support from Innovation Saskatchewan Red Leaf Pulp to receive $395,000 to develop technologies aimed at making use of farm waste product AGRIMART

EXPRESS

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Wheat straw pulp One of the byproducts of the wheat farming process could soon be used to make paper and other products of that type in Saskatchewan, thanks to a recent financial commitment by Innovation Saskatchewan. The government program announced it is committing $395,000 to Red Leaf Pulp through its Saskatchewan Advantage Innovation Fund (SAIF), joining a $495,000

commitment from Agriculture Canada announced earlier in the year. The reason for the major interest is simple -- once operational, Red Leaf Pulp will not only create more than 100 jobs in Regina, it’ll also help make use of a farm waste product that is usually burned: wheat straw. RLP is one of the leading companies in Canada looking into new technologies to produce pulp from wheat straw, which can then be used as a base for paper products and consumer packaging while remaining exceptionally environmentally friendly. Naturally, the key is the prevalence of the product in the province. Saskatchewan farmers produce millions of tons of wheat straw a year, which will offer RLP an almost endless supply for their venture. That, in addition to offering another source of revenue for farmers, this time from something that would never be used otherwise. “This is another example of Saskatchewan’s commitment to continue investing in ag innovation projects that have potential for high economic impact and we’re excited to

see further development of this technology,” Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said. The province’s interest is further piqued by RLP’s commitment to Saskatchewan. Once their research has come to fruition and is proven commercially viable, Red Leaf Pulp will establish Canada’s first wheat straw pulp facility in Regina at an estimated cost of $350 million. It’s expected it will create 110 full-time jobs and 250 jobs during construction. While no timeline has been set, work is well underway with regards to research and development, as can be seen on their website at www.redleafpulp.com. “Red Leaf Pulp is very appreciative of the support that Innovation Saskatchewan has shown through the SAIF program for the development of our project,” Red Leaf Pulp CEO Martin Pudlas said. “This is strong indication of the Province’s commitment to reducing carbon and promoting enhanced utilization and efficiency in the agricultural sector.”

Ducks Unlimited explains why water pumping projects ceased Renewal of a 30-year agreement to keep water flowing into two regional southern Saskatchewan marshes was “cost-prohibitive,’’ according to a Ducks Unlimited spokesman. The 30 year-agreement to pump water from Lake Diefenbaker into the Lucky Lake Marsh expired in 2019. The agreement by the Ministry of Agriculture, SaskWater, Ducks Unlimited and local RMs was “adhered to by all parties.” To have renewed the agreement would cost “in the millions” over the life of the agreement with an estimated $100,000 to $125,000 increase in the first year,” said Michael Champion, head of government relations in Saskatchewan for Ducks Unlimited. “We haven’t abandoned the project. The infrastructure is still there. We didn’t import water. If we could find a funder we would bring it up to code.”

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express A second regional project, the Riverhurst to Pelican Lake water and irrigation project, is in the same position of being cost-prohibitive to renew. The 100-kilometre channel flowing into Pelican Lake near Mortlach was described by Champion as an engineering marvel and has been touted as a major DU accomplishment. The project pumped water down a channel for irrigation, stock watering and bird habitat. A shift in DU priorities has also resulted in the loss of funding for these projects, “Science has discovered that these marshes aren’t as important for waterfowl as they were thought to be. Grasslands breeding habitat is more important for waterfowl than marshes. Significant losses of grassland habitat in eastern Saskatchewan caused DU to shift priorities to the eastern side of the province, said Champion.

He understands some ranchers and farmers along the Riverhurst to Pelican Lake channel are upset at the loss of water for livestock, especially in this year of drought. “I understand their frustration. I understand their disappointment. They had a significant benefit for years.” When the agreements expired, said Champion, all land owners and municipalities affected were consulted. Asked if the situation was complicated because the province does not have a wetlands policy, Champion agreed “that is part of it. “I hesitate to say anything negative because the parties have worked together so long.” Various municipal and conservation organizations have lobbied the province for a wetlands policy similar to those in Alberta and Manitoba.

Our Yearning For Collapse

There is a collective and pervasive sense among us that we are heading for a worldwide collapse of catastrophic proportions. More signifiMarc Legare cant is that many, secretly or openly, look forward to such a societal shakeup coming sooner than later. Haruki Murakami stated, “Everyone, deep in their hearts, is waiting for the end of the world to come.” Why do we wish this? Take a moment to ask yourself a simple question; “Do I, on some level, secretly look forward to our society breaking apart?” If the answer is yes, we must acknowledge just how far down the rabbit hole we are. At a minimum, we need to acknowledge something is terribly wrong. There is an ocean of reasons to believe we are past the breaking point and our society is heading for disaster; none so telling and fact based as our global debt crisis which proves beyond doubt we are living a false life. In spending so much money, we have sold our children’s future in order to keep up our standard of living and our personal longevity. That debt has been pushed to such a limit it is an over-tight piano string that has to snap. Our global overspending is currently far in excess of 250 trillion dollars and climbing

like a rocket-ship. That number is so unfathomable and so confusing it is enough to scare the hell out of us. As it should. Worse still, it is not the aging who will pay the ultimate price-tag, even though we created the monster. It is the younger generations who will be required to pick up the pieces when it all comes crashing down. It is already well established and accepted that our children will not live as high a life as we have. The massive debt, along with all the other resources we mismanaged and squandered, makes their future bleak. We are collectively culpable for eating up riches and being willing to pay any price to delay short term hardships. The real reason we are guilty is that we will not repay what we borrowed for our comfort, safety, and security. That is the main reason why we all want it to come apart soon, because on some level we know it ought to come down on our selfish heads, not the innocent heads of those who come after us. How in the world do you repay over 250 trillion dollars? It was not so long ago we held the belief that with “a little elbow grease,” we could pay off our debts. Not this time, the debt is too immense. If you are one of the many people who wish a massive correction would occur sooner than later, you are not alone. For our children’s sake, at least some of the suffering should fall on our shoulders instead of the entirety of it falling on theirs. In the words of Thomas Paine, “I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.”

Researcher attempts to determine crystal meth’s origins and why it’s used Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Nature, science, business, and human need are four potential answers about where crystal methamphetamine comes from and why people use the harmful drug, according to a Moose Jaw health promotion practitioner. “Knowing the answer to such a complicated question is not in order to assign blame, but rather to help us understand how we arrived where we are … ,” said Rom Jukes with the Moose Jaw Family Wellness Centre. “For our future to be an improvement of the present, reflection is valuable. Our past has, for multiple reasons, resulted in millions worldwide using crystal meth to their own destruction.” While criminals are one reason crystal meth is available, crime is a consequence rather than the source. Addressing the criminal elements is necessary but not sufficient to help people suffering, he continued. Criminals did not invent methamphetamines, nor did they introduce them to the world on a mass scale. Instead, the drug was introduced through mainstream channels over the centuries. Working on behalf of the Moose Jaw Crystal Meth Strategy Committee, Jukes recently put together a report looking at the history of crystal meth and where it originated. Nature The natural world is the first place to look when considering the genesis of crystal meth, Jukes said. Flowers such as Khat in Africa, Coca in South America, or the Betel nut in India have been used by local cultures in traditional medicines and recreational use for centuries. However, this drug is ultimately derived from the shrub Ephedra, which is common across Central Asia. “The Western European world was late to the game in cultivation and usage of natural stimulants. Few people were exposed to these substances until expanding trade routes brought exotic items like tea and coffee into their experience,” he continued.

Science In 1662, English physician Henry Stubbe published The Indian Nectar, where he declared that chocolate “Doth more speedily and readily refresh and invigorate the bodily strength more than any other sustenance whatever.” Jukes pointed out that books such as Stubbe’s applied the emerging Enlightenment scientific worldview onto the natural world. Stubbe also hoped to express the medical value of chocolate while distinguishing fact from fiction. “In a European world increasingly committed to the overthrow of dogmatic assumption, these new substances from across the world were yet another frontier of exploration,” Jukes said. Europeans also began looking more at pure cocaine, which they isolated and extracted from coca leaves in 1860. Business By the 1880s, products such as Coca-Cola flooded the market and were advertised as “valuable brain tonic” and an “intellectual beverage.” Scientists created methyl-amphetamine from the plant base ephedrine in 1919, which became a commercial product by the 1930s. German pharmaceutical company Temmler later began selling Pervitin, which was a patented product designed to compete with the new amphetamine product Dexedrine in America. “The initial response to these innovations was overwhelmingly positive. Mass distribution of drugs like Pervitin began for soldiers, manufacturing workers, students, and artists,” Jukes said, noting that prescriptions of methamphetamines in the United States peaked at 31 million in 1967 since doctors were attempting to treat conditions such as depression and obesity. Human need Many people can feel disconnected from where they are and where they want to be and can feel dislocated emotionally and socially, he continued. During 2015-16 in the U.S., the most common prescription for 11.4 per cent of adults aged 20 to 59 was anti-depressants, and for 6.2 per cent of adolescents aged 12 to 19 it was central nervous system stimulants. Fundamental to substance abuse is the need of the person, said Jukes. Last year a United Nations agency reported that roughly 269 million people worldwide used illicit

drugs in 2018, while more than 35 million met the criteria for having a drug use disorder. For most of these people, this does not escalate into a debilitating disorder but does for a disproportionate number of meth users. Two years ago, the total number of U.S. adults reporting meth use (0.5 per cent) was comparable to non-medical pharmaceutical users (0.6 per cent) — but 38 per cent of people reported being daily or near-daily users of meth compared to seven per cent of non-medical pharmaceutical users. “Methamphetamine may be started by a person to meet a particular need, but it quickly becomes the only answer to every problem … ,” added Jukes. “We likely will not find our answer (about where crystal meth came from) like a set of lost car keys, but every complicated problem is asking for a creative solution.”

New Farm Stewardship Program supports cow-calf producers in protecting surface water Beneficial management practice to feature payments of up to $15,000 for preventative run-off control measures AGRIMART

EXPRESS

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

In times of extreme heat and drought like those found in southern Saskatchewan over the last month, protecting valuable water sources can be of utmost priority. But all it takes is one major storm hitting a working field with poor run-off protection to have devastating consequences. All of a sudden, that dug-out that kept the cattle watered or lake that acted as a reservoir can be polluted with manure, fertilizer and pesticides, leading to massive algae blooms or even outright poisoning the water source. And that’s not including the environmental damage outside the farm itself, with bodies of water being literally stripped of life due to the mass of chemicals that affect nature’s ability to find food and reproduce. A new offering under the Farm Stewardship Program through the governments of Canada and Saskatchewan aims to help cow and calf farmers prevent that from happening. The new beneficial management practice for cow-calf producers will offer fund-

This includes a $2 billion commitment that is cost-shared 60 per cent federally and 40 per cent provincially/territorially for programs that are designed and delivered by provinces and territories. More than $155 million of this funding comes from the Government of Saskatchewan.

NDP, Regina restaurant owner calling on Sask. gov’t to extend pandemic offsale licenses By Larissa Kurz - Glacier Media

The Saskatchewan NDP and Regina restaurant owner Josh McLean are calling on the provincial government to extend temporary offsale licenses granted to restaurants during pandemic closures, after pulling them on short notice recently. Economy and Jobs critic Aleana Young joined McLean on site at his restaurant, Homestead Bar a Vin, to deliver the message on July 12. “We’re calling on the government to reverse this decision,” said Young. “This is an easy way to basically not kick restaurants when they’re down and allow them to have something approaching an economic recovery.” McLean was one of several dine-in restaurants in the province that received a temporary offsale license to help offset the loss of revenue caused by public health orders. He said the provincial government provided just four days warning before suspending these licenses, in the lead-up to health restrictions lifting. McLean said he received email notice last Tuesday, with no prior warning or consultation from government officials. “It almost seemed like the email was an afterthought, like ‘oh yeah, we have to take those offsale licenses,’” said McLean.

Restaurants typically order their stock sometimes a month in advance, said McLean, and so the change has left him with an overstock of products and concerns about revenues moving forward. “If I would’ve had maybe a month or two notice, I wouldn’t have purchased so much alcohol, had such a huge inventory,” said McLean. “We have five times the inventory [we’d normally stock] and for a small business like myself, that’s a lot of money to be filtered into just one part of our business.” He said when he contacted the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority for an expansion on his license, the advice he received was to return the extra inventory to his supplier. But McLean was uncomfortable with the position that put him in, as he purchases his alcohol from another small business in the city. “I wasn’t willing to do [that]. That’s another small business that I didn’t feel was fair to kind of unload my problem onto them,” said McLean. Young criticized the provincial government’s timeline, stating that more notice should have been given to restaurant owners before such a drastic change. “[Four days] is a ridiculous amount of time, considering we’ve all known that

July 11 was coming,” said Young. “It really seems like they’re out of touch with the reality of small businesses.” Temporary offsale licenses helped small businesses stay afloat, said Young, and more consultation should have taken place prior to the decision which she sees as negatively affecting the econom- Opposition critic Aleana Young (L) joined restaurant owner ic recovery of the Josh McLean (R) outside his business, Homestead Bar a Vin, restaurant industry for a press conference calling on the extension of pandemic offsale licenses to help restaurants.

station at its First Avenue Northeast office recently after seeing temperatures increase and noticing how busy the sidewalks were with pedestrians, Lt. Lester Ward explained. As a result, staff felt the need to reach out to people, invite them into the air-conditioned office, and offer them some free cool liquids. The goal is to welcome two to three people inside at one time. However, if more people show up, the Christian non-profit knows it can open a larger room downstairs to accommodate 20 to 30 people and ensure proper physical distancing. The Salvation Army’s Lt.

The organization started an indoor cooling “We know it’s been welcome,” he said.

“We’re happy as the Salvation Army to be able to serve the people (and) meet the people’s needs. Not just water — that’s just one thing we do — but all other avenues, whether it’s clothing, food (or) the breakfast.” The Salvation Army started handing out cold breakfasts in brown bags in late May. The organization offers meals from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. from Monday to Friday, although it will distribute the meals to anyone who comes later in the day. Some of the items in the bags include a juice pack, a muffin, and a fruit cup. This initiative has been quiet so far, even though the non-profit posted a message about it on social media and pasted posters on its front window, said Ward. However, the organization believes more people will start coming for the free breakfast bags after becoming more aware of the program. “We started up the bagged breakfast because we know that the lunch program and suppers were being taken care of (by Riverside Mission) … ,” he continued, noting many people were going without food from supper to the next day’s lunch. “So we wanted to try to bridge that gap by providing something of nourishment

that will help somebody get through to the next lunch rather than having to wait. We thought, ‘Let’s give it a shot. Let’s see how it works.’” Another group whom The Salvation Army has started to support is seniors, as it recently teamed up with Age Friendly Moose Jaw to address food security. The Sally Anne will cook food in its kitchen and then visit seniors at their homes to offer the meals. The non-profit organization delivers 12 to 15 meals every evening, although those numbers are increasing as word spread about the program, said Ward. While seniors are the focus of this initiative, the Salvation Army is willing to offer it to anyone in the community who needs support, he continued. This includes residents who are ill or who don’t have the time to cook after visiting loved ones in the hospital. “As the Salvation Army in the community, we continue to look for opportunities for outreach and to help people in need,” he added.

leader Tommy Danielson of Saskatoon, and made a concerted decision to focus on his game and his game only. As it turns out, that’s all he needed to do. Because by the time the round came to an end, he and playing partner Alex Swinnerton had put up the two best rounds of the day, sat at two-under par for the tournament and were headed for a playoff to decide the champion. There, Kutcher would drop his shot on the par-three 18th to within four feet and Swinnerton landed on the front of the green. After Swinnerton missed his 20foot putt, Kutcher drained the birdie to claim the tournament championship.

Then the playoff and there we go.” In the end, Swinnerton would card the best round of the tournament at 67 and finish with a 211 total; Kutcher came in with a 68 to also land at 211. It wasn’t all a loss for Swinnerton, though. He’d win the U17 championship by a single shot over Danielson. Buena Vista’s Elias Haukness won the U15 men’s title with a 223 total, Regina’s Kai Kriekle took the U13 championship with a 238.

Fry goes coast-to-coast to cruise to Junior Women’s provincial golf title Shell Lake standout shoots final round 75 at Hillcrest to take eight-stroke victory Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Brooklin Fry with the Golf Saskatchewan U17 and U19 provincial championship trophies With the kind of lead Brooklin Fry had put together through the first two rounds of the Golf Saskatchewan junior women’s provincial championship, she had plenty of wiggle room should things go slightly awry in Thursday’s final trip around the Hillcrest Golf Club. So when the Shell Lake standout didn’t get off to the greatest of starts -- going four over through the first six holes -- it was just a matter of refocussing and resetting, getting back to what had worked so well the previous two days. Two birdies to close out the front nine with a 37 did just that, and a couple of

hours later she’d close out the event with a 75 for a three-over 216 total, good enough for an eight-shot win at the event. “It’s pretty awesome, actually,” Fry said after being asked what it was like to win a third provincial title. “This was my goal going into this year, I was going for the (women’s amateur), too, but I kind of had some trouble with my irons that week and right after I was kind of kicking myself a bit. So I went to the range every day after and worked on that and got ready for this week and it worked out well.” Fry, 16, took a 10-shot lead into the final round, after carding 71 on Tuesday and following with a 70 on Wednesday, the only women’s round under par for the tournament. Even with such a massive edge over the field, Fry wasn’t about to take it easy in the final round. But golf being golf, sometimes the shots drop, sometimes they don’t, and what you do to recover can make the difference. “I wasn’t trying to think about it, I was try-

ing to extend my lead instead of just holding it and it was just focussing on one shot at a time,” she said. Fry is the first woman to win the junior title three times since Prince Albert’s Brooke Hobson won the event in 2012, 2013 and 2015. Matching that mark was a major goal for Fry, and for an interesting reason: not only is Hobson an elite golfer, she’s also in her fourth season with the NCAA’s Northeastern Brooklin Fry watches her putt on the 18th hole lip out University women’s hockey for a par. team, and previously played Saskatoon’s Sarah Grieve finished second for the Prince Albert Northern Bears U18 at plus-11.

Heat pick up pair of wins in Senior Ladies fastball action this past week Heat down Hustlers 10-8, Colts 12-9; Assiniboia ties Colts 4-4, defeat Heat 7-1; Hustlers take 10-0 win over Ice It seems only fitting that with temperatures what they are, the Heat would find themselves putting up plenty of runs in Senior Ladies Fastball League action this past week. The Heat took a 10-8 win over the Hustlers and downed the Colts 12-9 in contests at Caribou Heights but couldn’t come away with a perfect record out of their busy seven days, dropping a 13-1 decision to the Assiniboia Aces. In other action, the Colts tied Assiniboia 4-4 and the Hustlers took a 10-0 win over the ice. Colts 4, Assiniboia 4 In the first game of the week/Tuesday, July 13, Raina Peterson and Sarah Feeley scored runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to overcome a 4-2 deficit and set the the stage for the eventual tie.

O’Reilly tosses complete game as Moose Jaw takes 18U AAA win over Athletics Close games continue in recent action as Canucks take 8-5 win in Regina, drop 5-3 decision earlier in week to Wolfpack Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Cam O’Reilly tossed a complete game to earn the win over the Regina Athletics on Thursday night. One thing has become very apparent for the Moose Jaw Canucks in Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League 18U AAA action this season -- if they have to win two games and have their aces available, they’ll be able to hang right in there with anyone. Because if Cam O’Reilly and Kaleb Waller

are on their game on the mound, a win is definitely in the cards. Both pitchers were in action this week and threw complete games, with Waller going seven innings and dropping a 5-3 decision to the Regina Wolfpack on Tuesday, while O’Reilly pitched an extra inning on top of his full game and took a 5-3 win over the Regina Athletics Thursday. Moose Jaw improved to 9-13 on the season and now sit in seventh place in the 14-team league. They were back in action on Sunday, July 18 in a doubleheader in Swift Current, with scores unavailable as of press time. Wolfpack 5, Canucks 3 As has been the case pretty much any time Waller has taken a loss this season, errors made the difference -- even if the Canucks only had a couple of them. The Wolfpack scored three runs in the top of the fourth, but only one of those was earned, and the two extra scores would end up being the difference in the contest. Waller finished with only two earned runs on eight hits and three walks through seven innings, giving him a quality start (six innings pitched with fewer than three runs allowed). He’d need 104 pitches to get

Baseball community in shock, mourning after player collapses at Ross Wells and later passes away

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express The Saskatchewan baseball community is in shock and mourning after Tyie Fischer of the Lumsden Cubs 18-and-under AA team collapsed and later died prior to a game at Ross Wells Park on Thursday night. The Cubs were in Moose Jaw to face the Moose Jaw Canucks as part of a regular-season Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League game. According to reports from those on scene, Fischer returned from the batting cages, said he wasn’t feeling well and collapsed in the visiting dugout. Paramedics from Moose Jaw EMS were immediately summoned, arrived within minutes and began emergency life-saving measures that included resuscitation efforts. Fischer, who was known to have a history of heart issues, was transported to Dr. F.H Wigmore Hospital and later pronounced deceased. Tributes to Fischer and condolences to his family poured onto social media sites throughout the day on Friday and Saturday as word spread of the tragedy, including messages from Moose Jaw Minor Baseball, Baseball Saskatchewan, Baseball Canada and organizations and teams from throughout the province.

through the contest. Cole Breitkreuz had a double, run scored and run batted in, while Nathan Varjassy and Kyle Duncan also crossed the plate for Moose Jaw. Canucks 8, Athletics 5 Hours before O’Reilly was officially announced as one of four recruits for the St. Clair College Saints, he would toss a gem for the Canucks in taking the extra-inning win. O’Reilly pitched all eight innings, and even though the A’s would use the inter-

national tiebreaker to pick up a pair in the extra, his teammates had his back, scoring five in the top of the frame to secure the win. O’Reilly’s line leading up to the final frame was also a quality start -- three runs on eight hits to go along with four strikeouts. Breitkreuz had a 2-for-4 day at the plate and scored a run, while Evan Callaghan was 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI. O’Reilly helped his own cause out by crossing the plate twice.

Late home run leads Giants over Canadians Flanagan round-tripper in bottom of sixth leads to 7-6 Giants win in Rambler Park fastball league action Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Like the weather, the battle for Moose Jaw supremacy in the Rambler Park men’s fastball league continues to heat up as the season goes on. Their most recent meeting this past Tuesday at Lyle Helland Ball Diamond offered the most recent example. Brad Flanagan hit a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth inning, and starter Al Muhle retired the side in order in the seventh to give the Giants a 3-2 victory. Brett Friesen and Jason Schneider scored the Giants’ other runs in the third inning, but the Canadians would claw those back the next two frames. Bryce Crosbie led off the fourth with a triple and scored, Riley Almasi added the tying run in the top of the fifth. Muhle allowed six hits on the night and struck out five to earn the win; the Giants had nine hits off Canadians pitcher Dean Holoien, who capped the contest with 14 strikeouts.

Both teams picked up ties on Thursday night in Regina, as the Canadians drew 3-3 with the Standing Buffalo Dakotas and the Giants ended up in an 11-11 draw with the Earl Grey Rockets. The Giants now sit second in the Rambler Park standings with a 5-2-2 record, the Canadians third at 5-3-1. The Giants are back in action Tuesday, July 20 when they face the Regina Gold at 7 p.m. at Memorial Field while the Canadians take on the Earl Grey Rockets at Al Muhle delivers for the Gi9 p.m. ants earlier this season.

A conservative voice moving to the center while keeping our taxes down.

“Moving to the Center while keeping taxes down for all Canadian families and small business owners” “Embracing the present while learning from the past” “My Canada includes Canada!”

The opening marks the completion of Phase One of the project, with Phase Two seeing the installation of indoor beach volleyball courts at the back of the facility, and Phase Three covering ancillary items like a weight-training facility, bleachers and upgrades to the air-conditioning system. That’ll all be work for the future, though. In the meantime, it’s right to business. The first Golden Ticket basketball camp began on Monday, July 19, and the facility will be busy right through the first week of August. Word is already getting out, too, with inquiries coming from all angles about renting the facility. “The challenge for us is to manage it all since everyone wants the same amount of time,” Brightman said. “People have been awesome reaching out and letting us know

and as we kind of get up and rolling here we’ll circle back and fill up the calendar.” It’s all as positive a development as possible for the building, which not too long ago was facing questions as to whether or not it would face demolition. City of Moose Jaw recreation services manager Scott Osmachenko was one of those on hand Friday to check things out, and like everyone, was impressed with what he saw. “It’s wonderful, just the smell of fresh paint, it seems like it’s brand new and then there’s the hardwood floor and all the finishing… it’s impressive,” he said. “You walk in the building and it’s still like the curling club, but it’s not. It just seems bigger with the glass and the lights and how everything is set up. The sporting needs of the community are definitely being met with this facility.”

DOROTHY JEAN CRAIK (née: Sthamann) Dorothy Jean Craik passed away peacefully, with her daughter by her side, at Pioneer Lodge in Moose Jaw, SK on Monday, July 12th, 2021, at the age of 93 years. Dorothy was born in Hodgeville, SK and later moved to Kelvington – Round Lake, SK. Her father passed away when she was young and she left home at the age of 17. Dorothy moved to Yellow Grass, SK where she did housework, then moved to Moose Jaw where she worked at Swifts. She candled eggs for four years until she married the love of her life, Murray Craik, in December 1949. They had a daughter, Florence, in 1950 and a son, Jeffery, in 1955. They bought a house on the 900 block of Athabasca St in 1955 and lived there until they moved to the Andross Condominiums in 1998. Murray passed away in 2005 and Dorothy remained living at the condo until shortly before her passing. Dorothy was always thinking of Murray, remembering vacations they took and sorely missed his love, laughter and advice. Dorothy was in the Militia for more than 10 years in the 1960’s and retired with the rank of Sargeant, which she was very proud of, as was all of her family. She was a long-time member of the Army, Navy, Air Force Veterans, volunteering to call Bingo as well as other activities. She was predeceased by her husband, Murray; parents, Marie and Herman Sthamann; and brother, Donald. Dorothy is survived by her daughter, Florence (Clair) Hicks; son, Jefferey (Cathy); grandchildren: Austin Craik, Misty (Aaron) Brule, and Shane (Megan) Kennedy; great-grandchildren: Jensen and Ashton Brule, and Logan Kennedy; sisters, Edith Morley and Ellen Glennie; brother, Dan McConnell; as well as many nieces and nephews. The family would like to thank the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital and Pioneers Lodge for the excellent care given to Dorothy in her final days. Also, thanks to Dr. Rininsland, Dr. Waldner and Dr. Pilon. As well, thank you to Pat Gable for taking Mom to lunch every Tuesday, and her neighbours Iris Lewichew and Janet Geraghty for the coffee and friendship. A Private Family Graveside Service will be held at Sunset Cemetery.

Pet retail chain shares could offer lucrative gains By Ron Walter - For Moose Jaw Express

Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are the first time a company places its shares on the stock market. The company in consort with its financial advisers prices the stock offering and investors set the market price by their own purchases or sale action. We often hear of the IPO that soared on the first day of trading as investors lined up to buy this hot stock. Yours Truly has learned the hard way that IPOs usually sell for less than issuing price within months. My rule to not buy IPOs is hard and fast but a recent offering intrigues me. The Pet Valu Holdings Inc. chain of retail stores raised $316 million in shares when the company went public in July. Pets are big business with 9.4 million pet-owning households across the country. Pet Valu has 609 stores with about twothirds franchised and the rest owned by the company. At this point PET has about 16 per cent of

the pet products market. The larger format PetSmart chain has 15 per cent; Walmart has 12 per cent; Costco had eight per cent and Loblaw’s, six per cent. With store locations within five km of 60 per cent of Canada’s population Pet Valu has spread since its 1976 opening. There are no Quebec stores. The company was public but in 2009 was acquired by a U.S. operation called Roark Capital Management. In 2021 the new IPO was offered at $20 a share. Pet Valu is more than just another retailer of pet food and treats, although 70 per cent of revenues come from those categories. About 58 per cent of stores offer self-serve dog washing bays with 35 per cent offering full service dog grooming. The company has a successful loyalty program. Average sales basket from loyalty customers is $56.96 compared with average basket of $43.04 from customers not enrolled. A new online site accounted for one per
