THE WEARHOUSE

If you see people wearing cowboy boots inundating Moose Jaw’s restaurants and stores next week there is a good chance they came from the Moose Jaw Exhibition Association grounds.

Yard Goods $3.00-$6.00/yard From this past Monday until Thursday, the Exhibition will be hosting the largest horse show in the province - the Saskatchewan Barrel Variety of Notions Racing Association finals.

The hugely popular rodeo sport will be seeing actual competitions all week.

“This will be the biggest horse show in the province,” George Fowler general manager of the Moose Jaw Exhibition told MJ Independent.

The show was previously held in 2019 in Moose Jaw after moving from their traditional home in Saskatoon. There was no competition in 2020 due to the COVID - 19 pandemic.

The event is a competitive competition with horse and rider vying to be the best in the province so there is the potential to draw larger THE WEARHOUSE crowds to the free event, Fowler said.

Although hosting the event is a major event for the Exhibition, it is Buy 1 Pair of Pants and Get also a big event for the community. As well, over 500 riders will be nd The 2 Pair for 1/2 PRICE! competing.

Fowler said he could not estimate how many competitors, as well as horse fanciers, will venture out to local stores and restaurants, but in 2019 the Exhibition Company had businesses call and comment on the increased numbers of customers at their establishments.

“It will be good for the community, and they’ll be out shopping and eating.”

of the 500 camp out at the fair grounds and the other half head for local hotels.

The competition will feature competitors from throughout the province compete, having qualified at other events to compete in Moose Jaw. The fair grounds serve as a place where competitors take time to socialize with others in the barrel racing and horse community.

“The riding is important, with the socializing just as important…

They all know each other. They all want to win so it is highly competitive but they are also friends,” Fowler said.

The event will be held indoors at the Golden Mile Arena located on the Moose Jaw Exhibition Grounds - 250 Thatcher Drive East.

Students to face ‘normal’ school year as masks, distancing removed Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

When students return to school this fall, they will likely face the usual rhythms and routines of a “normal” school year — including extracurricular activities — since all pandemic restrictions will be lifted.

Holy Trinity Catholic School Division and Prairie South School Division in Moose Jaw issued similar letters on Aug. 10 to parents about what students will experience when the bell rings in September.

The main message is that wearing masks, physical distancing, remaining in cohorts and other COVID-19 restrictions used during the previous school year will not be required this year.

The Government of Saskatchewan — via

the Ministry of Education — recently released its Safe Schools Plan for the 202122 school year that all 28 school divisions must follow.

“COVID-19 restrictions will no longer be in place and the 2021-22 school year will proceed as during pre-pandemic years.

Much like other businesses and sectors throughout the province, public health officials have determined that it is safe for schools to resume traditional in-class learning,” the plan said.

Both school divisions will continue to work with and follow the direction of the Saskatchewan Health Authority and local public health agencies, the letters said.

They will also continue to keep schools, buildings and buses clean, use good hygiene practices and keep parents informed as situations evolve.

This “normal return” applies to all students, including students under age 12.

While students and staff are not required to wear masks, stay in cohorts or maintain physical distancing, both divisions said they would support students and staff who choose to wear a mask.

Holy Trinity indicated in its letter that it plans to use the new provincial framework to help inform its return to school plan for 2021-22. Division administration plans to share that document with families and staff

during the week of Aug. 23.

“Our intent is to employ the lessons of 2020-21 in our updated version while maintaining our commitment to the safety of students and staff,” the Holy Trinity letter added.

School administrators will update individual school plans during division meetings in late August. They will then share those plans with their respective school communities before school starts.

Keys to a successful road trip in the South Country

By Ron Walter - For Moose Jaw Express

Wind blown brick wall at Ogema Photo by Ron Walter The e-mail message from the navigator on the next day’s road trip was simple: “Are we taking lunch?”

The answer: “Bring water, we will have coffee, lunch and maybe pie.”

On our loop from Briercrest to Wood Mountain we saw one antelope, one deer on this 30 plus degree day, justifying Noel Coward’s assertion that “mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.”

We persevered, putting up posters for the

Sept 11-12 threshing bee at Sukanen Ship Museum.

Our usual coffee stop at Ogema was closed so coffee was in Bengough. As we left the cafe salivating at the breakfasts being served, I reached into my pocket. My set of house keys was gone and nowhere to be found. Thinking they had fallen out at home I texted my wife and partner. She searched in vain. Numerous texts were exchanged about the situation.

Arriving at Big Beaver, little had changed.

The vintage cultivator my former shotgun rider coveted was gone. The little woodburned sign — If we haven’t got it you don’t need it — above Aust’s General Store was gone.

Dried up sloughs and dry crops were everywhere except south of Bengough, around Coronach and south of Willow Bunch. We were later told those places got showers nobody else got.

Those Bengough breakfasts inspired us to order the Country Breakfast at Deb’s Kitchen in Coronach — two eggs, hash browns, two sausages, a slice of ham and two thick meaty slices of bacon.

Neither Gord J. nor I had room for pie.

While relaxing, bed and breakfast operators Linda and Don Kirby came in. They have retired from farming, but still run the B and B. From Willow Bunch we travelled west on

a gravel road towards St. Victor. The big lake beside the road has dried up.

Forest fire smoke billowed down the valley ahead of us and a few times the Rav4 crossing the yellow line alert sounded — indicating pavement under the gravel.

Stopping at Rockglen’s old railway station, now a Tourist Centre, we hoped for pie. No such luck.

But the guide Rhianna convinced us to have cinnamon buns and coffee. Then Mr. Tourism of Rockglen, Dick Oakes came in.

Oakes couldn’t wait to get out of the district as a youth, became a surgeon and had a career in Detroit emergency rooms.

When he retired he came back home to the beautiful hills of the South Country.

Gord and I recalled the time Dick, then 80, guided us on a hike up a hill and how he asked us if we had the juice to make it. We didn’t, so he led up us a trail from the back to a breathtaking vista.

After leaving there, I promised Gord pie at the Wood Mountain Regional Park concession. We had to settle for ice cream and a visit with some nice ladies.

Our last hope for pie was the Limerick Hotel, bought a few years ago by Doug McRae and his wife. I had heard they have good food. And previous owner Hilda Maier had pie most of the time.

We asked Doug for pie.

“Sorry, not today. Tomorrow we’ll have some.” It was around 6 o’clock. We were too full for a full meal so we had fries.

Doug told us people from 100 kms around come for the food. I said hello to Hilda who still lives in Limerick and we headed back after I texted my partner not to make supper.

I never heard her reply come in on my smart phone.

When I got home there were two questions: “Did you find your keys? and Why didn’t you answer my text?”

As I related the day’s events, my partner slid her hand deep, deep into my pocket.

Oh, I thought, a romantic interlude is in the offing.

Then she withdrew her hand. Clutched in it were my keys.

“You, you,” she sputtered. The twinkle in her eye changed to a glare.

“I missed the Heritage Fiddlers because of you,” she hissed. “I sat at home so you could get in the house.

“I turned this house upside down looking for those keys. Next time you lose your keys on the road, don’t tell me until you get home.”

Maybe I’ll just leave the darn phone at home.

Provincial aid for livestock producers facing extreme drought

By Eugenie Officer, Ag Journalist - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

On Tuesday, August 10th, AGRIMART Saskatchewan’s Agriculture Minister, David Marit, announced $119 million to support cattle producers. The funding will provide producers with a per head payment.

The program will aid producers financially to help maintain breeding stock.

Livestock producers across the prairies are facing the effects of severe drought. Financial relief will enable producers to mitigate some of the challenges of the drought.

“This program will provide immediate relief and help producers make decisions that are best for their operations.

The livestock sector is a vital part of our agriculture industry and a significant contributor to our provincial economy.” Marit said.

This financial support comes from the Canadian Agricultural Partnership’s AgriRecovery program. Under the partnership, provinces are asked to initiate funding and request the federal government provide additional funding. The AgriRecovery partnership between governments currently operates on a 60-40 federal-provincial basis.

With this new announcement, the province requests that the federal government contribute an additional $178 to the program. This additional contribution would bring the total relief up to $297 million for Saskatchewan cattle producers. With the total federal assistance, the repayment amount will equate to $200 per head.

The province plans to issue initial payments of $100 per breeding female, with the remainder becoming available when the final agreement comes into effect.

EXPRESS

“Right from the start Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association (SCA) recognized that the challenges of this drought are many and varied. Water availability, water quality, feed for the short term and feed for winter among many others. That’s why we requested a per head payment that will allow producers to manage their specific challenges” said Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association Chair Arnold Balicki.

In addition to this new support program, cattle producers also can apply for the Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure program, to which changes were announced in July. Dugouts, wells, and pipelines were previously funded at 50 percent of eligible costs, up to a maximum of $50,000.

Retroactive from April 1st 2021, until March 31st 2022, the maximum rebate has increased to $150,000. The initial $50,000 will remain “Commercial cattle herd in the Cypress Hills.

Woods shared that the level of trades and quantity of producers needing to purchase hay this year is similar to what took place in the 1980s. He emphasized that the issue now lies in that producers are buying hay online and on social media.

Internet-based sales now allow people to sell things very quickly, which can be beneficial in times of crisis, where feed is needed immediately. Internet-based sales can also give fraudsters an opportunity to prey on the nature of the situation.

As there are many producers looking for feed for the coming year, Woods encourages producers to treat the situation of purchasing feed like any other large purchase.

“The main thing is to do your due diligence. In an online world, it is easier to make a poorly researched deal. Do not fall prey to the pressure of paying for something you have not seen, no matter what the seller tells you.

Hay shortages have impacted livestock producers across the province, several have had to purchase additional hay.

With the number of fraudulent sales rising, farmers should report any suspicious livestock feed advertisements to police.

Saskatchewan RCMP and Livestock Services Saskatchewan are advising producers of an increase in hay purchasing fraud and scams.

The joint statement revealed that several producers across the province have recently been victims of social media fraud and scams while attempting to purchase hay.

Several producers, many of which are hard-pressed to find good quality hay, have lost money to these scams without receiving hay in exchange. Adds for hay and livestock feed on social media and other buy and sell platforms have been posted by fraudsters who have requested immediately prior to delivery.

Vandalism seems to be an onJoan Ritchie going issue.

EDITOR Earlier this year, there was vandalism done to a mural in Crescent Park, and sometime in the not-too-distant past, there was graffiti vandalism done to some downtown businesses.

I really don’t get the mindset of those individuals who feel the need to damage property that has been put up for public enjoyment, and yes, I understand there are individuals out there who suffer mental illness and are sometimes responsible but it is disheartening, to say the least.

New Visitor’s Centre by 2022 for Buffalo Pound Provincial Park

********** Well folks, we are into a federal election for September 20th. I guess for most, that was the news coming down the pipe and all indications were correct.

PM Trudeau cleaned up his image, cut and dyed his hair and put on his best shirt and tie; I guess his pandemic look was getting pretty pathetic and now he appears more polished and professional. And to illustrate my comments, I’ll use the phrase that Sarah Palin coined and over the years has gone mainstream with some politicians and such, “If you put lipstick on a pig, is it still a pig?”

It seems the only platform on this election is pandemic related. Where did all of the other issues go?

What about climate change?

What about the economy and the fact that Canada’s getting out of debt and balancing their budget is forecast for no sooner than 2070? Will the earth still be standing by then?

What about mental illness and many other health issues that people have been battling for decades?

What about the political ethics of government officials? Doesn’t anyone care anymore about representative government being truthful and honest in their dealings?

I hope Canadian citizens will think long and hard about their future in Canada and where we are going…but I encourage everyone to exercise their democratic right and vote.

The exterior of Buffalo Pound ski chalet for the new visitor’s centre. Photos by April Meersman A government’s investment with long-term goals to improve tourism will bring visitors to southern Saskatchewan parks. The upgrades will make the parks safer and improve the quality of visits for everyone who attends.

Starting in 2007 through to 2021, the Saskatchewan government has invested nearly $141 million into park infrastructure and preventative maintenance in southern Saskatchewan parks. From 2021 to 2022, the government is investing $10.4 million to upgrade facilities and park infrastructure, with further improvements this year rounding out the total at around $18.1 million for this year.

“Improving park facilities and infrastructure is an ongoing priority for our Government,” Parks, Culture and Sports Minister Laura Ross said. “As we continue to welcome visitors to our parks each year, it is important that we provide amenities that are safe and accessible to all. This year’s provincial park investments will give both campers and day-users much to look forward to next season.”

The Buffalo Pound ski chalet, built-in 1972, is being converted into a new visitor’s centre by 2022. The 1.1 million investment will host interpretive programs, a coffee shop and business kiosks. The new visitor’s centre will be a gathering point for park visitors, bikers and hikers alike for years to come.

The building, which is currently under construction, is anticipated to open to the public for the 2022 tourist season.

The building will have a significant demolition on the interior including upgrades to electrical and mechanical.

The visitor’s centre will receive a full refurbishment on the two interior levels and exterior giving the chalet a new look and future purpose. A new ramp will make the visitor’s centre wheelchair and disability accessible. A new deck will finish off the refurbishment.

“Visitors to Buffalo Pound can enjoy a number of activities, including the new swimming pool, Sask Aquatics new inflatable water park, hiking and biking trails, and mini-golf and axe throwing at Squirrely Putt & Play,” ac-

cording to the Saskatchewan Government website.

Southern Saskatchewan’s parks offer a great number of activities right in our own backyard. Come to the many sites and enjoy nature, family and friends.

Investment in Saskatchewan helium resources exploding

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

To most of us, helium is a gas used to blow up balloons and if you inhale it your voice goes funny like Bugs Bunny.

For most of our lives that was a large use

by Ron Walter of helium, but technologies in medicine — magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and nuclear medicine — have changed the use and demand for helium.

Helium is used to cool the magnets in these devices. The gas is also used for lifting gas in laboratories, welding and for deep sea diving.

While helium has been a known quantity in Saskatchewan since the 1950s, not much exploration has been done until recently.

Depletion of United States helium reserves has changed that attitude. With U.S. helium reserves at one-third of previous levels and dependence on politically unstable and unpredictable regimes of Algeria and Russia for half of global supply, the United States sold a big chunk of government reserves.

And the race for a new source was on.

Two private companies lead exploration and development in Saskatchewan. Virginia-based Weil Group has operated a helium plant near Mankota in the southwest

for almost five years.

North American Helium invested $32 million in the Battle Creek area, west of Grasslands National Park, and raised another $39 million for a purification plant.

Two publicly traded companies are still exploring — one in Saskatchewan, one in Alberta.

Calgary-based Royal Helium Corporation, trading at 50 cents on the stock exchange, is developing wells in the Climax area of the Cypress Hills with leases in the Cadillac, Bengough, Midale, Griffin and Big Muddy regions.

Imperial Helium Inc. of Calgary, trading at 38.5 cents, is concentrating on natural gas reservoirs in Alberta. The first well is at Steveville, near Brooks by the badlands.

The site chosen is near a 1940 natural gas well blowout that spewed 50 million cubic feet per day of gas for 100 days until put under control.

Imperial believes the 95 square miles of leases contain 1.1 billion cubic feet of helium. To put that into perspective, the U.S. government reserves were seven billion cubic feet before selling about one-third.

Imperial figures there are 189,000 natural gas wells in Alberta logged for helium.

Most helium produced in Canada now is a byproduct of natural gas processing.

Helium prices have fallen from the $337 US per thousand cubic fee at that government auction but remain around $200.

That price is 50 times natural gas and makes extraction of helium at one-half per cent content economically quite profitable.

School divisions to hold bus riding safety program for young children Moose Jaw Express staff

Moose Jaw’s two school divisions are holding their annual First Rider Bus program, designed to help young children better understand how to ride the bus.

Holy Trinity Catholic School Division and Prairie South School Division, in conjunction with the City of Moose Jaw and the Moose Jaw Police Service, are inviting students and their parents/guardians to take a ride on a school bus and learn about bus safety in a fun learning environment.

Pre-registration is required and space is

limited. Parents interested in signing up their child should visit their respective school division’s website or Facebook page.

The first training event occurs on Wednesday, Aug. 18, at St. Margaret School at 495 Fifth Avenue Northeast at either 10 a.m. or 6 p.m.

The second training session occurs on Thursday, Aug. 19, at Lindale School at 1322 11th Avenue Northwest at either 2 p.m. or 6 p.m.

By participating in these events, students will learn safe ways to get to and from school, including crossing the street, stepping on and off a bus, and riding in the vehicle safely.

The school divisions remind parents that younger siblings are not allowed to ride the bus during these events. Parents are also reminded not to drive in, park around, or block off the coned areas, while masks will not be required for this event.

The helium industry presents an opportunity for a mini-boom in drilling and exploration.

The two publicly traded companies are in the infancy stage and highly risky but the rewards could be explosive.

The cure for high prices is high prices.

When prices get too high, users look to alternatives.

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS

Grilled cheese from kids’ menu surprisingly odd My quest for chocolate Popsicles and my search for the perfect grilled cheese sandwich has occupied some of my time — successfully and not so successfully — during the spring and summer weeks.

It turns out I am not the only person with a fixation on the Popsicles of our youth, searching wherever there’s a freezer in a store for the no-so-easy-to-find frozen treats of olden days.

I’ve had phone calls from friends and others who found or had heard about chocolate Popsicles in various Moose Jaw Joyce Walter outlets. I followed up with calls or personal visits, with mostFor Moose Jaw Express ly disappointing results. Now I understand how investigators ronjoy@sasktel.net feel when leads wither and die without a successful conclusion.

In one instance, the kindly young man at the store was sympathetic to my quest, noting others were also seeking the same product. He explained that getting chocolate popsicles from his regular supplier was a problem and finding a new and reliable source had been impossible. But, he said, he would keep trying so please come in again to check out his store’s freezer. To thank him for his assistance, Housemate bought himself a treat.

Then I went to my favourite confectionery store, it being a one-stop shop for treats, food items, clean wash, rental trailers and other odds and ends. While others lined up at the Snow Hut for ice cream and milkshakes, I rummaged through the cooler where the frozen treats were kept.

I foraged and dug around and came up with what I hoped were indeed chocolate Popsicles. They were in a single package, with no identifying label but to my discerning eye they looked like chocolate. I grabbed up five or six and headed to the checkout, first to verify my finding, and then to pay for my treat. The store owner confirmed my discovery, I paid and went with exuberance to the car, the smile on my face as broad as though

I had won the lottery.

They were as tasty as I remembered, with chocolate dripping down my chin and Housemate rushing to clean a spot from his shirt. I shared my discovery with others so they too could relive their happy summers of decades ago. But I have some hidden away in a crevice in the freezer. Such bliss for a later day!

My continuing quest for the best grilled cheese has not been as successful as last year and in fact has been disappointing, although it has resulted in an unusual style of sandwich.

At the restaurant where we had dined previously, the owners had changed and the menu was also different but under the kids’ menu, I found a grilled cheese sandwich with fries.

I asked the server how old one had to be to be considered a “kid.”

He looked at me in bewilderment so I asked again, then changed the question to whether I could order from the kids’ menu. He nodded and explained it was just bread with cheese. That should have warned me, but my adventurous soul soldiered on.

The bewilderment became mine and spread to my companions when the plate of fries and sandwich was placed before me. Never before had I seen a grilled cheese presented this way: partially melted cheese on top of a slice of bread which in turn was atop some more partially melted cheese on another slice of non-grilled bread.

I laughed; my companions laughed; phone photos were taken and I dug into my nongrilled cheese sandwich. The potatoes were deep-fried nicely and the others at the table enjoyed their burgers while I ate away at this sandwich from the kids’ menu.

A youngster at another table didn’t seem to see anything odd about his grilled cheese so maybe I was at fault, not knowing the traditional way of serving it in this eating place.

Soon, I will be off to Sue and Mike’s place where the grilled cheese will indeed be grilled cheese just the way I like it.

Ambrosia of gardens: vine-ripened tomatoes

By Joyce Walter - Moose Jaw Express

Tomatoes ripened on the vine are the ambrosia of the backyard garden plot — from the Tiny Tims to the Beefsteak or Heritage varieties sliced into toasted sandwiches.

This week’s recipes offer two ideas for enjoying ripe tomatoes when the weather has chilled and the tomato vines have long been picked clean and removed from the garden plot.

••• Red Tomato Relish 8 cups boiling water 10 lbs. ripe tomatoes 2 large onions, chopped then diced 2 red peppers, finely chopped 2 green peppers, finely chopped 2 tsps. mustard seeds 1 tsp. celery seed 4 1/2 cups white vinegar 2 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed 3 tbsps. pickling salt 2 tsps. ground ginger 2 tsps. ground cinnamon 1 tsp. ground allspice 1 tsp. ground cloves 1 tsp. ground nutmeg Bring water to a boil then add a few tomatoes at a time, boil for 30 seconds then remove

tomatoes to an ice water bath. Repeat until all tomatoes have been processed in boiling water.

Remove skins from tomatoes then finely chop.

Place tomatoes in a large stockpot. Add onions and peppers.

Place mustard and celery seed in a cheesecloth canning bag. Add spice bag and remaining ingredients to pot with tomatoes. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 60-75 minutes or until slightly thickened. Stir frequently.

Discard spice bag.

Ladle hot relish into sterilized pint jars, remove air bubbles and apply lids.

Place jars in canner, cover with water and process in hot water bath for 20 minutes.

Remove jars and set aside to cool. Store in cool location. Set set at least a week before using.

••• Garden Tomato Soup 3 tbsps. extra virgin olive oil 2 medium onions, diced finely 3 cloves garlic, minced, optional 4 cups low sodium chicken stock 2 lbs. ripe tomatoes, peeled and finely chopped with juices 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. pepper

1/2 cup Acini de Pepe pasta 1/2 cup heavy cream Cover tomatoes with boiling water and remove skins. In a separate bowl, finely chop tomatoes, retaining juices.

In a large pot, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook about 10 minutes, stirring until they become golden brown. Add garlic and cook one minute.

Stir in chicken stock, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then add pasta and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Stir in cream and return soup to a gentle simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

Turn off heat, cover and let rest for 10 minutes to allow pasta to plump up. Serve hot with a variety of crackers or grilled ham and cheese sandwiches.

Note: soup stock may be frozen, leaving out the pasta and cream. Defrost, heat, bring to a boil then add the pasta and cream and follow previous cooking directions.

Ice cream sale helps Gibson Energy raise nearly $10K for charities Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Bev Hissett (left) and Clayton Leavitt (right) with Gibson Energy in Moose Jaw give a cheque for $4,825 to Riverside Mission’s Rachel Mullens. Photo courtesy Gibson Energy Employees with Gibson Energy in Moose Jaw sure like their ice cream, because a

recent fundraiser that sold the sweet treat helped raise nearly $10,000 for two community charities.

The company holds employee giving campaigns three times a year and lets its sites pick the charities that should receive the money. The recent campaign occurred over several weeks in July, right when Saskatchewan was experiencing a major heatwave. “(The Moose Jaw team) thought the ice cream would be a nice way to stay cool during the heatwave and then also give back to charity,” said Chloe Mansfield, community relations specialist.

After all the ice cream was sold — courtesy of Déjà Vu Café — and all the pennies were counted, the Moose Jaw campaign raised $9,650. This was then split between Riverside Mission and the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank, with each receiving $4,825.

This happened to be the most money that the Moose Jaw refinery raised during any giving campaign.

Gibson Energy also matched whatever its employees raised during the campaign. So, for every $1 that staff gave, the company

kicked in $2.

What was notable about this giving campaign is that Clayton Leavitt, the operations manager at the Moose Jaw refinery, sent a “heartfelt” and “powerful” email to employees about why giving is important and how the campaigns make a difference in the community, said Mansfield. The company liked the email so much that it circulated the document throughout the organization.

MP Moose Jaw -Lake Centre -Lanigan As most of you know, I announced my retirement from politics in June and, with speculation rampant of a federal election this fall, this may be the last MP Report I ever write.

I first want to say what a great pleasure and honour it has been for me to serve as your elected representative these past 17 years.

Even though I have been interested in politics my whole life, I had never imagined myself running for office until that fateful day in 2004. While the intervening time has seen many challenges, it has on the whole been the most fulfilling experience I

could have imagined.

Of course, I very nearly didn’t get the job in the first place. In my first campaign, I won by only 122 votes – a margin so narrow it went to recount. That experience taught me the power of democracy and that I could never, ever take my constituents for granted.

There have been so many highlights during my career, both local and national, that I scarcely know where to start. First and foremost, I would have to note the people of this riding, whose hometown spirit represents the very best of the Saskatchewan way of life. It has been an honour to get to know each and every one of you. I am proud that my staff and I were able to assist so many of you with your dealings with the federal government, including helping so many thousands of new Canadians make a new home in this country.

I am also glad to have had the opportunity to have added to our local communities in so many ways – all the local rinks, parks and public works which I helped secure

funding. Two very large ones to which I contributed (I certainly can’t claim sole credit) were the Global Transportation Hub and the $27 million in federal funding for the Cooperators’ Centre at Evraz Place.

On the national scene, I am proud to have contributed to the historic battle to end the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly. There were so many positive policy changes during the Harper government, but that is one that I saw as most meaningful to my rural constituents at home.

I was also honoured to serve as Parliamentary Secretary to Government House Leaders over a nine-year period. This gave me a rare glimpse into the behind-the-scenes negotiations that allow our Parliament to function. I am also proud of the work that I did on a number of Parliamentary committees, including serving as chair of the Government Operations committee. Despite the public image of constant partisan antagonism, Parliamentary committees are small and all-party, requiring members from different parties to work cooperative-

ly. This gave me a tremendous opportunity to get to know and, yes, in a few cases, even become friends with MPs from across the aisle.

If you are wondering what comes next for Tom Lukiwski, I can’t say that I have that completely figured out. I think for most of us, when we face retirement, the prospect of having a wide-open schedule can be a bit intimidating. I expect there will be a bit of golf involved. There will certainly be as much time with the grandkids as I can manage, and their parents will tolerate. Perhaps some day I will get bored and think about doing some consulting.

But, for now, I’m content to take life as it comes.

Once again, thank you very much to all the people of Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan and to all the people of my former riding of Regina-Lumsden-Lake Centre for all the years of trust and support you invested in me. I will cherish it as long as I live.

Larry Wilson Scholarships hand out more than $23,000 in funds to local artists Wide range of awards from musical performance, to dance, to instrumentals and literary work, once again presented to south Saskatchewan students Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

A gesture of support for the southern Saskatchewan arts community continues to pay off in a huge way for artists from Moose Jaw and surrounding area, as over $23,000 in funds were recently awarded by the Larry Wilson Scholarship Program.

A total of seven artists covering a diverse range of disciplines received the awards this year, which totalled $3,400 each.

Number of diseased elm trees this year similar to 2020, city says Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The City of Moose Jaw regularly monitors for Dutch elm disease (DED) within the community’s elm tree population and is currently seeing similar infection rates as last year.

The parks and recreation department has been conducting tests and is waiting for the results to confirm their accuracy but is certain that DED rates are about the same as in 2020, said Sarah Regent, horticulturist for the City of Moose Jaw. While the elm bark beetle that carries the DED fungus is the main reason for the disease, the recent hot, dry weather has also stressed trees and made them susceptible to this issue.

The data so far shows that less than one per cent of the entire tree population has the disease, which is “an accepted threshold of control” to ensure DED is managed, she added.

In 2020 Dutch elm disease killed more than 20 elm trees in Moose Jaw and around 40 in Wakamow Valley. In comparison, the

department detected over 30 diseased trees in 2019, with the worst cases found on South Hill. Meanwhile, city staff detected 18 cases of Dutch elm disease in 2018.

There are about 18,000 elm trees in Moose Jaw, so the number of infected trees during the past few years represents less than one per cent of the entire elm population.

If homeowners have elm trees, they should give them “a good, deep watering,” said Regent. Even though Moose Jaw received some precipitation recently, most of that stayed on the surface, where the grass absorbed it.

Residents should contact the parks department at 306-694-4447 if they come across DED-infected trees. City crews can diagnose the tree, take samples if necessary, and then proceed from there.

“Once we’ve confirmed Dutch elm disease, we do need to take it out as soon as possible to keep it from spreading to other trees,” Regent continued, adding all af-

fected wood must also be removed to prevent the spread of the disease.

DED is a fungus that blocks water from travelling throughout the tree and to the branches. Symptoms include leaves on the affected branches wilting, curling up, turning yellow or brown, and drying out. These symptoms are usually accompanied by brown to black staining in the sapwood, also known as streaking.

continued. A lack of rain would normally interrupt the aphids’ breeding cycle since it would wash them off the leaves; the bugs are not very good at staying attached.

The parks and recreation department has received regular complaints from residents about aphids during the past few weeks. To help homeowners combat any remaining bugs, Regent provided a few tips to deal with the critters.

Police charge repeat offender for having firearms, stolen property Moose Jaw Express staff

Already facing an attempted murder charge, Brandon Gariepy has been arrested again, this time for possessing firearms and stolen property.

The Moose Jaw Police Service conducted a curfew check at 1 a.m. on Aug. 15 to verify the court-ordered conditions of Gariepy.

While checking the conditions, police located and seized six firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, along with other

stolen property from a residence.

Police arrested Gariepy, 35, of Moose Jaw about this incident; he was already facing court-ordered conditions for an attempted murder incident in February. Officers charged the Moose Jaw man with numerous firearm-related offences and stolen property offences.

Gariepy was remanded into custody for a later court date.

said Regent. Meanwhile, it’s helpful to ensure there are spots in the yard where these predatory bugs can survive over the winter; leaving a pile of leaves is one way to create a temporary home.

Residents can also create ladybug drinking stations by filling a shallow dish with rocks and water. Such stations should be drained and filled once a week to prevent mosquitoes from breeding.

While ladybugs can help eliminate aphids,

there is currently a lack of commercial ladybugs to purchase this year because of wildfires in California.

“It’s not ideal. It is frustrating,” admitted Regent. “But … there’s nothing you can really do about those ladybugs in California. The best thing for us to do here is to encourage our own native ladybugs.”

Anyone with further concerns or questions about aphids can call parks and rec at 306694-4447.

Fun and camaraderie: Women in the Wind enjoy stop in Moose Jaw Annual gathering of motorcycle enthusiasts proves popular for riders from near and far and of all ages Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

If anyone wants to get an idea of how much the Women in the Wind motorcycle group means to its participants, all you have to do is look at how far some of them travel just to be a part of their rallies.

And how even for first-timers of all ages and experience, the whole thing is a fantastic time.

Members of the group descended on Tourism Moose Jaw on Saturday morning for a massive photo at Mac the Moose, creating a cacophony of sound as the 70-plus participants from all over Canada arrived for the chance to document their trip enmasse.

Among those was Marianne Brown from Prince George, who had the distinction of travelling the farthest to be a part of the 2021 Women in the Wind gathering.

“It was actually really good,” Brown The Women in the Wind gather for a photo with Mac the Moose prior to said of her journey as riders milled their south Saskatchewan tour. around the parking lot on another beaufriendship the Women in the Wind bring to their club is a tiful morning in Moose Jaw. “We kind of went the long way; there’s a patch challenge with Wom- major attraction for everyone involved. en in the Wind called ‘Two Days 1K’, so in two days you “We try and promote a positive image of women riders do 1,000 miles and that works out to 1,609 kilometres. and they do a really good job; everyone is really friendly,” So we went towards Drayton Valley from Prince George, Brown said. “And I enjoy going to the Canadian rallies then down to Calgary, so we did over a thousand kilome- every year, because you get to see people and build friendtres that day.

“There was no rain, no hail, and even with the wind I have for example, included a scavenger hunt on Friday aftera pretty big bike so I was okay,” Brown said, describing noon that Brown described as an “absolute blast”. her 2018 Harley Davidson Road Glide. “And it wasn’t “We really enjoyed that. People were asking us if we were doing the scavenger hunt and talking to us, we got snowing, which really isn’t fun.”

Brown is a long-time member of the club with multiple to see all the shops downtown and it was a lot of fun,” she rallies under her belt, including the 2014 event that was added. “Those are the kinds of things that make this such held in Prince George. She feels the camaraderie and a fun weekend.”

For Regina’s Betty Horacki, the trip wasn’t quite as long. And in fact, the rally was the first for the Women in the Wind Highway Hunnies member -- not a bad time at all for someone who turns 76 in a month and has been riding only since she turned 67.

“Instead of choosing the rocking chair I chose the bike,” Horacki said with a laugh. “I have 14 grandkids and one great-grandchild, so they’re pretty proud that grandma rides. I used to pick up one grandchild from school back when she was in grade school and it was like ‘I’m cool’.”

Horacki has found the Women in the Wind to be a perfect fit for a rider like herself, especially when it comes to instilling confidence on the roaring machines.

“It helps so much with riding when heading out on you have people like this around you, and it’s all shapes, all sizes and from all over,” she said. “When I started, there was a lot of encouragement and I look at it as ‘if they can do it, I can do it, too’.”

Horacki isn’t just a short-trip rider, either. She’s put 900 kilometres under her wheels in a single day in the past.

“I get off of it after a ride like that and nothing hurts, but I go across town in a car, it’s like it’s hard to get out,” she laughed. “But you have to concentrate every second on the road, you get in the zone and it’s like meditation and it’s almost relaxing.”

If everything goes according to play, this isn’t going to be Horacki’s only Women in the Wind rally, either. Not if she has anything to say about it.

“I have a sister in Kelowna, so I’m hoping I’ll have chance to make the trip out there for that one,” she said.

The Women in the Wind weekend continued Saturday with a long tour through southern Saskatchewan before things wrapped up in the evening with the Moose Jaw Trolley Company’s Ghost Tour.

PPC candidate Chey Craik eager to offer authentic conservative vision in upcoming election Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

With a federal election expected soon, People’s Party of Canada (PPC) candidate Chey Craik is looking forward to winning over more voters and offering an authentic conservative vision.

The PPC electoral district association nominated Craik in April to represent the party for the Moose Jaw-Lake Centre-Lanigan constituency. This is the second time he is pursuing federal politics after running in the 2019 election while attempting to unseat incumbent Tom Lukiwski.

Craik finished fourth out of five candidates with 1,613 votes or 3.59 per cent of the vote.

so well, I think it’s a natural fit,” Craik said recently. “I have good people skills, and we’re letting people know there’s a better option out there.”

With Lukiwski retiring after 17 years as MP, Craik hoped voters would review the options this year and not “check a box because they’ve always checked a box.” He was confident that he could be a voice of change and thought the party’s main pillars — individual freedoms, fairness, responsibility, and respect — would resonate more strongly this year.

“If people really want freedom in Canada, they only have one choice: the PPC. … we’re a populist and nationalist party that puts Canada first” and doesn’t pander to foreign organizations, he continued. “Our leader is from Quebec with truly western values. I think we are the only party that can truly bring Canada back together.”

National media outlets have reported that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau planned to trigger an election on Aug. 15 and set Monday, Sept. 20 as voting day.

Maxime Bernier, leader of the People’s Party of Canada, and Chey Craik, candidate for the Moose JawLake Centre-Lanigan constituency, pose for a picture.

This election is a step toward repairing Canada’s “broken” political system, said Craik. He thought the country needed to stop alternating between the Liberals and Conservatives since it was only leading Canada “further and further down the hole.”

This downward spiral has included endless spending and endless pandering to special interest groups that don’t benefit Canadians, he continued. He was surprised that the Liberal government so easily passed its multi-billion-dollar budget in the spring with little pushback from the opposition parties.

The main issue that has bothered Craik, though, is that Trudeau has been found guilty of “endless ethics violations” and accused of criminal negligence and bribery scandals, and nothing has been done to address these concerns.

“That can’t be allowed to go on. He should be held to the highest standards in the country — and they just give him a free pass,” Craik said, “not only in his party but in the House of Commons in general. It’s brutal.”

Craik also didn’t like how the federal government — and some provinces — had used the pandemic to grab more power and exert more control over people’s lives.

Besides the PPC, other conservative-minded parties include the Maverick Party and the Conservative Party of Canada. However, Craik didn’t think vote splitting was a valid concept since it was simply a “marketing campaign” from the Conservatives.

Lukiwski captured 31,993 votes in the 2019 federal election or 71.12 per cent. Craik pointed out that even if some votes went to the Maverick Party — “the Bloc Quebecois of Saskatchewan and Alberta” — and he and Conservative candidate Fraser Tolmie spit the vote, that didn’t leave room for any other party.

“If you want a reasonable, strong voice in Ottawa, I’m your guy,” he added. “We need to let people realize that … we are the better option … that if you want your freedoms (and autonomy) back — if you don’t want the government to micromanage every aspect of your life — then we are the only option; I am the only choice.”

Hollywood North…

Submitted for Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

In Moose Jaw, “Corner Gas” alumni PATRICA BRUCE (center), cameraman LARRY HEISLER and RANDEE HEISLER (hair & makeup Artist) all celebrate Patricia Bruce’s recent screenplay sale to U.S. Director Ty Mapp of Ty Mapp Films. Based in Hartford, Connecticut, Ty will direct and produce Patricia Bruce’s short screenplay, CHEATIN’ SONG later this year.

According to Ty Mapp (credits on IMDB), the initial connection was made through U.S. company Ink Tip and Ty found Patricia’s short screenplay dynamic – “he could see the visual in it.”

A short screenplay is an original motion picture with a running time of 40 minutes or less. Short scripts allow a brief glimpse into a character’s life – usually a single major conflict. And as such, short films lack the big budgets of a feature film.

In “Cheatin’ Song” a beautiful young woman faces betrayal in her life – but she handles the conflict with a surprising and deadly conclusion.

Patricia and Larry worked in the Sask movie/tv business for 5 years as feature background actors. As well Larry has extensive working experience as a cameraman. In ad-

A Distant View

dition to the highly successful TV show Corner Gas, they worked on Just Friends (starring Ryan Reynolds); Little Mosque on the Prairie; Falling Angels and others, also including 3 TV commercials.

For Saskatchewan screenwriters starting out in the business, Patricia recommends a free membership in SYMPIA – Saskatchewan Media Production Industry Association.

This non-profit organization offers upcoming news & events; educational classes; info on funding & grants and upcoming Film Festivals with calls for submissions.

Patricia mentioned she took advantage of many on-line screenwriting courses including those at UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles).

On April 3, 2021 The Toronto International Women’s Film Festival awarded Patricia’s screenplay, “When Animals Kill” an official Selection of the film festival.

The Los Angeles CineFest awarded “No Regrets” by Patricia the Semi-Finalist short screenplay winner in 2018.

“It’s important to understand” says Patricia, “that Saskatchewan writers can sell their stories anywhere – it doesn’t have to be strictly Hollywood.”

Great Wall Mentality by people who knew full well it would take many generations to complete. That is a mind-bending truth.

Imagine the attitudes, beliefs, and mentality of a people who would start such a construction project, knowing it would not be completed for centuries. The fact that the benefits would not be felt for generations is perhaps the quintessential example of just how different a world we live in today. They decided to build something, not for their offspring, but for the offspring of twenty generations down the road. They built it for people who could never fully appreciate their herculean effort, let alone know the millions of laborers who did so on their behalf.

Today, we would never consider beginning such a project that would only help people four centuries in the future.

Not even close. At most, we consider a generation or two down the line, and even that is more than questionable.

Our modern minds barely think beyond ourselves. When we look around the world, can we see any construction project that is not for our immediate benefit? Can we identify a task being undertaken for the sole betterment of people living in the year 2421? No. We are far too attentive to immediate gratification for that.

That is why the “Great Wall mentality” is so astounding and worthy of contemplation because it clearly shows us just who we are, and who we are is not that altruistic in

comparison. Doesn’t the ideology of building the Great Wall make us, and our attitudes, look rather selfish?

Many may argue that our advancements are for the generations that follow. Indeed, perhaps some of our accomplishments may be a net good for people far removed from our current time. However, we are not doing anything specifically for them without any good going to us in the first instance. That is the difference. We are out for our current selves or our direct offspring and our present day immediate satisfaction is at the forefront of our mentality. It does not enter our minds in any way to think about people in the year 2421, let alone start something that is directly and uniquely beneficial to them alone.

Since we are discussing the thinking pattern of people long ago and far away, perhaps it is appropriate to recite a quote from one of their philosophers. In the words of the Buddha, “To live a pure and unselfish life, one must count nothing as one’s own in the midst of abundance.” In our age of abundance, the opposite is true.

The Great Wall of China is perhaps the most amazing structure man has ever built. More importantly, when you consider the ideology behind building it, you come to realize something telling about ourselves. That wall is tangible evidence of just how different our priorities are compared to those who constructed that incredible icon.

The Great Wall took 400 years to build. That is astounding. What is most curiously fascinating is it was started

Re: Who Would Mac The Moose Vote For? Rumours have been circulating for months about if and when Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Government would send Canadians to the polls. It seems that numerous Ottawa sources have confirmed that this past Sunday, 15 Aug 21, was when the Prime Minister will ask the Governor General to dissolve parliament and commence Canada’s 44th federal election.

If feels like it’s too soon to be heading back to the polls you are correct. In Canada our election dates are set to occur every four years; however, political leaders see it more of a suggestion than a rule, and both Conservatives and Liberals have ignored the interval when the circumstances have been favorable for them to gain more power.

Many Canadians are fatigued with our politics and frequent elections and it’s understandable as to why. Besides coming out of a long, painful and frustrating pandemic, there is no ballot box question for this election. In non-political speech that means there is no significant issue that is of such urgent national attention that the government must seek a renewed mandate from the citizens of the country to deal with.

Plain and simple, this election is a power grab by the Prime Minister and the Federal Liberals. They are tired of having to rely on the support of other Party’s to move their agenda through the House of Commons in minority government capacity. It’s an incredibly lame reason to call a needless and expensive election, especially since they’ve enjoyed full confidence in parliament on most legislation they’ve tabled. It’s a cynical reason to go to the

polls and it’s making many Canadians cynical of our politics as a result, and that’s not healthy for a democracy.

It was in response to this cynicism I began to wonder in a humorous vein of thought, “who would Mac the Moose vote for?”

Mac the Moose, the silent Cervidae sentinel of Moose Jaw, has seen a lot of change on the political landscape of Canada over the years. Erected in 1984, he witnessed, in his first year of existence, the devastating defeat of John Turner’s Liberals to Brian Mulroney’s Progressive Conservatives.

Since then, he’s gone on to watch 10 more federal elections over the past 37 years. He’s a seasoned political observer to be sure.

But back to the hypothetical question, if Mac could vote in this election, what party would he vote for? Well for what it’s worth I think Mac the Moose would support the Maverick Party, and I’ll explain why.

Obviously from an alliteration standpoint it makes sense; “Mac the Moose is a Maverick” rolls off the tongue quite nicely. Try it with any other party’s name and it doesn’t sound half as good. But there is a more substantial and serious reason to support this supposition.

A bull moose will often face and walk stiffly towards opponents or sources of danger displaying their antlers as a warning. Mac, who is certainly stiff thanks to all that cement, faces the east towards Ottawa where successive Federal governments have repeatedly shown indifference or outright hostility towards the west. His concern and posturing is certainly warranted.

Remember the “Made in Saskatchewan” Carbon Tax that Premier Moe proposed and was rejected

by Liberals despite nearly identical plans in the Maritimes being approved? Or what about Bill 69 (no more pipelines) or Bill C48 (west coast tanker ban), despite no such ban existing on the east coast. How about the carbon tax that has made everything more expensive and adversely disadvantaged our western agriculture and resources-based industries despite no measurable impact on CO2 levels and no censure of China which produces over half of the world’s greenhouse gases. Or maybe it’s the fact that we import any oil at all for OPEC despots despite having the highest environmental standards and most ethical oil & gas development in the world.

So why would Mac be a Maverick? Because the Maverick Party is here to stand up and face Ottawa, just like Mac. The Maverick Party is looking to be the voice that western Canadians have longed to have in the House of Commons. A voice unlike the Conservatives, NDP, Liberals of PPC that isn’t influenced by the opinion or impact of how the voters of central and eastern Canada will respond to a given issue. Every single Maverick MP will have one mission if elected to parliament, if a bill or motion before the house is good for the west, they will vote for it. If it’s not, they vote against it. Politics and better representation for the west is just that simple.

Be like Mac, be a Maverick in the upcoming election.

John Thomson

Re: Cast Vote For Change Here comes an extravagant snap election, let’s get contagious amnesia and forget the enduring Liberal scandals with spendthrift ways like the stymied (billions) oil pipelines and KM. We now face a 4th wave, arbitrarily jailed Canadians and chain links, winless perverted $$$ foreign conflicts, indecisiveness with unlawful train blockades, etc.

It is crazy to inflate numbers to over 1.2 million in three years when we struggle with health care, massive debts, huge joblessness, mental health, spike in divorces, business closures fused with heat waves, wicked wildfire and floods, fact.

It is imprudent to swell migration when we have FN (broken promises) drinking water, residential school unmarked graves, housing unaffordability, pandemic daily deaths, a rift between

rich and poor, military misconducts, spike in crimes despite insincere denials, homelessness, soaring house prices, etc. It is unwise to accept so many, including extortionate asylum seekers and refugees. We are better with our diversity but should be culling it by 40% until we’ve recovered from the virus and economy. This inanity mirrors a fired worker spending thoughtlessly before finding work, dah. This has nothing to do with intolerance as vain bleeding hearts would falsify. I sponsored my wife with fees, red tape and a 10-year contract, like many others. Twenty-three years later, we are a modest but shining example, like others, of the benefits of immigration not including ethnic friends. The Liberals have baggage with female defections, coverups, and more with Trudeau; the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Like pup-

pets, they jump to the bark of the UN and WHO and allow the USA to cross our borders; unfairly reckless! What has our PM done to tax the ultra rich like Amazon and others? Zip! Remember the G-G ignominy, WE, finance minister resigning, JWR and more? This is not “fake news” we don’t need an election to feed the ego of a PM and his far overpaid cronies. How many MP’s and MLA’s or municipal leaders cut wages in this pandemic to support those suffering? Few! Always obey the law, and civilly protest for change. Politicians want our respect and vote but fall short with lame apologies, and poor accountability. This is the truth, not activism and focus on our needs, not others abroad!

Re: Residential School Graves Residential school graves near at least one school are filled with local inhabitants, and not students.

Media reports were quick to characterize the graves as belonging to children who attended the nearby Marieval Indian Residential School. But, according to a band councillor, that’s not necessarily the case.

“It appears that not all of the graves contain children’s bodies,” Jon Z. Lerat told the Globe and Mail, noting that this was also the burial site used by the rural municipality.

Please read the article by Candice Malcom of the Toronto Sun, pasted below, and tell me if you agree that there is a distant possibility, or even likelihood, that the bodies found at the other residential schools are of local inhabitants.

Sincerely, Robert Nelly “MALCOLM: It’s important to bring accuracy to residential school graves conversation Author of the article: Candice Malcolm Publishing date: Jul 12, 2021 Has the media narrative about the graves found near former residential schools gotten away from the facts? You be the judge.

It’s been six weeks since the Chief of the Tk’emlups band in Kamloops, B.C. announced that 215 unmarked graves were found using ground-penetrating radar on the grounds of a former residential school. On May 27, the band said that a preliminary report would be released in mid-June.

It’s now mid-July, and a report has yet to be released and emails from the Sun inquiring about the report did not receive a response.

On June 24, another discovery was announced — this time in Saskatchewan, where Cowessess Chief Cadmus Delorme announced a bigger finding: 751 unmarked graves.

Media reports were quick to characterize the

graves as belonging to children who attended the nearby Marieval Indian Residential School. But, according to a band councillor, that’s not necessarily the case.

“It appears that not all of the graves contain children’s bodies,” Jon Z. Lerat told the Globe and Mail, noting that this was also the burial site used by the rural municipality.

“We did have a family of non-Indigenous people show up today and notified us that some of those unmarked graves had their families in them — their loved ones,” Lerat said. Delorme added that oral stories said the graves belong to “both children and adults” as well as “people who attended the church or were from nearby towns.”

Unlike the Tk’emlups band — who said the unmarked graves were discovered on the grounds of the former residential school — the unmarked graves at Cowessess are in an existing cemetery.

Delorme noted that the graves were once marked, but that the markings were removed at some point.

The 2019 news reports were more cautious about asserting that these graves belonged to children.

This is how it was described in the Regina Leader-Post at the time: “Because many graves are unmarked, it’s difficult to tell if any children from Marieval were buried there, but the Archdiocese said it’s likely because the school was in operation for so long and it was the community’s only burial site.”

It is unclear whether the 751 unmarked graves announced in June 2021 are the same as the graves discussed in the media in June 2019 and the Sun has yet to hear back from media requests sent to Cowessess Band.

Next, on June 30, 2021, a third band, the Lower Kootenay Band near Cranbrook, B.C., announced its own finding of 182 unmarked graves.

Like the Cowessess cemetery graves, the Lower

Kootenay unmarked graves are within an existing cemetery — and again the cemetery was used by the broader community.

Former chief Sophie Pierre told Global News “There’s no discovery, we knew it was there, it’s a graveyard.”

“The fact there are graves inside a graveyard shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.”

The history of this cemetery is complex. Records show it was established in 1865 — 50 years before the residential school opened. In 1874, the cemetery began servicing the only local hospital in the Cranbrook region.

The Lower Kootenay Band was clear about these points in their original news release, noting that the graves were originally marked.

“Graves were traditionally marked with wooden crosses and this practice continues to this day in many Indigenous communities across Canada.

Wooden crosses can deteriorate over time due to erosion or fire which can result in an unmarked grave.”

“These factors, among others, make it extremely difficult to establish whether or not these unmarked graves contain the remains of children who attended the St. Eugene Residential School.”

While much of the broader national conversation has characterized these findings as proof of genocide at Canada’s residential schools, the facts currently available suggest a more complicated picture.

What we also see are uncared for graves (that were previously marked) on the grounds of existing community cemeteries (servicing a broad range of society) under the care of First Nations bands. An exploration of these facts can help us have a less sensational and more accurate conversation.”

Avonlea Heritage Day celebrates new agricultural display building

By Ron Walter - For Moose Jaw Express

Visitors to the Avonlea Museum Heritage Day this year got a peek at the new agriculture building.

Funded by the Radius Innovation Credit Union and erected during the last year, the large metal building houses exhibits showing the agricultural history of Avonlea and district.

Museum directors thought the agricultural artifacts were under-represented in the existing Doreen and Wally Nelson Main Street building.

The new building, high enough to develop a mezzanine, has plenty of space with current displays of horse driven farm equipment, tools, a Massey-Harris 101 tractor, and an old cookhouse on wheels.

This building frees space in the Nelson building to devel-

1967 Meteor

op more vintage Main Street stores.

The car show at the event drew about 80 vehicles, among them Bill Nelson’s 1940 Buick Special.

Nelson bought the car just before COVID struck and kept it in the family dealership show room until now. The car has been rebuilt with a 385 horsepower motor sad power steering.

“My wife will even drive it,” said Nelson. The striking colour shifts tones depending on the light, appearing orange, red or bronze.

Don McDonald of Moose Jaw brought his 1967 Meteor Montcalm car, a well-travelled unit with 75,500 miles.

The car was shipped west by train from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia when he got it 14 years ago.

It was originally sold to a banker at a Mahone Bay dealership. The banker, it turned out, authorized McDonald’s brother’s first mortgage on a house in Halifax.

In 1995 a mechanic in Cape Breton bought the car, redid the motor and transmission and paint job, then selling it to an elderly gentleman.

“She just floats on the road, keeps up with the others,” said McDonald.

The Avonlea Museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. to the end of August. Tours of the nearby badlands can be booked through the museum.

City Hall Council Notes The next regular city council meeting is Monday, Aug. 23.

Appeals board denies homeowner’s request to build massive additions to garage Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

The Development Appeals Board has denied a request from a homeowner who wanted to construct additions to his detached garage that would have vastly exceeded the zoning bylaw regulations.

The board met on July 20 to hear the appeal from Clive Tolley at 815 Willow Avenue, who had submitted a request for a zoning variance to city hall on June 25.

City hall reviewed his request and rejected it on June 29.

The board provided its final report to city council, which unanimously voted to receive and file the report during the Aug. 9 regular meeting.

Board members heard that Tolley wanted to build two additions to either side of

the existing 70-square-metre (753-squarefoot) detached garage, which would create a combined accessory building size of 141.3 square metres (1,521 square feet), contrary to the 83.6-square-metre (900-square-feet) stipulation in the zoning bylaw, the report explained. Furthermore, the combined floor area of the accessory building would be larger than the floor area of the main dwelling/house.

The subject property is a residential lot measuring 125 feet by 100 feet and is zoned as R1 large-lot low-density residential district, which is covered under the zoning bylaw.

Tolley told the board that the additions would make the garage more useful by

accommodating a vehicle enclosure at the south end and a garden shed with a roof over a barbecue and wood storage area at the north end, the report continued. However, since the lot is large, the total building coverage “would be a relatively small part of the total lot.”

City officials told the board that, among other things, approving an accessory building that is 32-per-cent larger than the main dwelling would be concerning since such approval would set a new precedent for accessory building sizes in the R1 and other residential districts.

After reviewing the situation, the Development Appeals Board denied Tolley’s request for three reasons:

· The request would be a special privilege since the board would not grant a similar variance to any other applicant in similar circumstances · The request would be contrary to the bylaw since it would set a precedent for accessory building sizes in the R1 and other residential districts and would be significantly larger than what the zoning bylaw allows, especially for accessory buildings larger than the main dwelling · While the request would not “injuriously affect the neighbouring properties,” the appeals board still determined it had to deny the appeal

Council sets sale prices for crushed concrete and asphalt at city yards Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Commercial contractors who need crushed concrete or asphalt for projects now know how much the City of Moose Jaw will charge to purchase the material from its yards.

During the Aug. 9 regular meeting, council voted 6-1 to sell crushed concrete at $26 per tonne and crushed asphalt at $28 per tonne. Council also agreed to set the commercial selling price for standard tandem truckloads at $234 for crushed concrete and $280 for crushed asphalt.

Coun. Jamey Logan was opposed.

Large quantities In November 2019, city hall estimated 18,000 cubic metres (9,200 tonnes) of concrete and 8,000 cubic metres (3,600 tonnes) of asphalt at the city yards based on a survey from May. In October 2020, the city added 25,000 tonnes of concrete and 7,500 tonnes of asphalt to the yards.

City hall did not have a current estimate of available quantities but believed most ma-

terials were still on site. While the municipality has not sold anything yet — hence why this issue came to council — it has used some material for maintenance programs.

City hall expects to generate $625,000 for the crushed concrete and $210,000 for the crushed asphalt, for total possible revenue of $835,000.

Too much to use “… the quantities received through this initiative far exceed what the city can use for its own operations. This is a valuable product that can be used for many purposes, such as gravel road and back lane maintenance, parking lot maintenance (and) road-building base,” a council report said.

A previous report indicated 18 years’ worth of crushed aggregate and seven years’ worth of crushed asphalt is available.

The Department of Public Works and Utilities based its suggestions for price per tonne on what the City of Regina charges for its aggregate.

The aggregate materials are located at the city yard at 1010 High Street West, but the weigh scale there is no longer certified due to age and lack of parts, while the only certified scale in Moose Jaw is at the landfill, the report said.

City hall expects most customers to use standard tandem trucks with a capacity of roughly 9.5 tonnes for concrete and 10.5 tonnes for asphalt. Also, city crews will use a front-end loader to load all trucks, which should address overloading.

Revenue from sales will go into the solid waste utility reserve.

Council discussion Darrin Stephanson, director of public works and utilities, told council that his department did not compare aggregate prices to any other community other than Regina. While many municipalities are engaged in similar activities, Regina is the nearest competitor, so it was important to have similar prices.

“It is not virgin material … so it is slightly below those (newer material) rates but above the costs for us to crush it,” he added, “so that’s how we arrived at its value.”

Logan was concerned that council was stepping on the toes of certain businesses in Moose Jaw — Cypress Paving in particular — that also use this type of material, while he thought the price per tonne should be higher — $30 — so the city didn’t gouge anyone.

Council is free to set whatever prices it wants, but city administration picked those costs based on what would encourage sales, said Stephanson.

“The inventory is worth nothing if it sits in our yards,” he added.

Coun. Heather Eby thought it was great that the sales could generate over $800,000 in revenue since it would go to the solid waste utility reserve and ensure residents didn’t have to contribute through taxes.

Council often hears that prices for materials are lower in Regina, so increasing the price per tonne would only drive more people there, said Coun. Kim Robinson.

Meanwhile, Cypress Paving receives plenty of contract work from city hall, which is likely its main source of income versus selling higher-priced aggregate stone.

Construction pace double that from last year

By Ron Walter - For Moose Jaw Express

Value of building permits issued by the city are 219 per cent higher than last year at the end of July.

City hall issued 154 permits worth $43.8 million in the first seven month of 2021 compared with 151 permits worth $10.3 million last year.

The moribund housing sector has led the way with one-third of the increased values.

Permits have been issued for 12 residential dwellings worth $9.6 million compared with seven dwellings worth $2.4 million

in 2020.

Commercial permits during July made up $1.2 million of the $2.01 million issued.

Major commercial permits were $850,000 for offices at Seven Thatcher Drive East, the Co-op Pharmacy building; $250,000 for alterations to Super Store; and $100,000 alterations to the Cruisers Collision and Custom building at Eight McKenzie Lane.

Four demolition permits were issued Three of four dwelling permits were for infill development lots.

had invested in global stocks, including the US S&P 500 and markets in Europe, Australia and the Far East (EAFE).

These changes were made because bonds and fixed income go negative during times of inflation — such as now, Coun. Dawn Luhning told council. Since yields go negative when inflation increases, the committee adjusted the investments into equities.

“Overall, the portfolios are doing well … ,” she added.

This report shows why the reserves and investment committee are so important, said Coun. Heather Eby. Since Moose Jaw is a corporation and will likely exist forever, these accounts will likely be around just as long. This means these funds can support the community’s children four generations into the future.

“The market is doing what it’s doing … . Hopefully it will carry on forever,” she added.

Future outlook With nearly half the world’s population vaccinated and containment of the virus improving, economies are slowly reopening and pent-up consumer and business demand is being unleashed, while permanent scarring from the pandemic appears to be limited, RBC’s global investment

outlook report said.

RBC is optimistic about the Canadian economy’s trajectory and anticipated rapid growth this year, followed by slower “but still good growth” in 2022, continued the report. Still, this increase in market expectations has tempered RBC’s enthusiasm as heightened expectations are becoming more difficult to surpass.

Several risks pose challenges to RBC’s positive case scenario, such as the COVID-19 variants, a “fiscal hangover” in 2022 after major governments’ spending initiatives, and central banks considering withdrawing monetary stimulus. Inflation has also spiked higher and could erode buying power, increase borrowing costs and encourage central banks to be more hawkish.

“Rising inflation expectations could become a self-fulfilling prophecy, a wageprice spiral could unfold, and/or a commodity supercycle could emerge. Inflation, an afterthought for the past decade, now requires some attention,” the report said.

Other issues at play, the report added, include a years-long bear market in the United States and underperforming bond yields post-pandemic and post-inflation.

Bylaw changes affect livestock operations, exhibition grounds, city property Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

City council has approved several bylaw amendments that affect intensive livestock operations, leased municipal property, zoning on the exhibition grounds, and the Official Community Plan.

Council gave three unanimous readings to the four amendments during the Aug. 9 regular council meeting. The changes go into effect immediately since there was no council opposition.

Livestock operations Bylaw No. 5650 amends the zoning bylaw to add a new definition for livestock auction venues, which would exclude auction operations from the intensive livestock operation (ILO) definition.

An ILO was originally defined as, “An

operation or facilities for rearing, confinement or feeding of the specific number of Animals Units that would either require a Permit from the Ministry of Agriculture, or which is listed in this Bylaw as an existing use which is prohibited from expanding.

This shall not include a Livestock Auction Facility.”

This was replaced with a livestock auction venue clause, which states, “An operation or facility for the temporary confinement of animals for auction purposes. The operation may require a Permit from the Ministry of Agriculture as an ILO but is not involved in the feeding of animals for production or growth purposes.”

This amendment occurred because cat-

tle company Jameson, Gilroy, and B&L (JGL) Livestock Ltd. has operated a stockyard on South Hill since 1981 and wants to expand its operations by annexing an adjacent piece of land.

Meanwhile, bylaw no. 5653 amends the Official Community Plan to exempt existing homes within the minimum separation distances of ILOs, if the existing residence is damaged or destroyed by events such as wind, tornado or fire. The owners would be allowed to rebuild their homes at the existing location if they obtain any necessary provincial approvals.

Leased municipal land Bylaw No. 5651 amends the zoning bylaw to allow for future contract zones at coun-

cil’s discretion on any municipal land subject to a lease if the lease’s term is longer than 10 years.

This bylaw change is in response to a request from the Moose Jaw Exhibition Company to allow for commercial development on its property.

Bylaw No. 5652 changes the zoning of 250 Thatcher Drive East to CZ contract zoning district from CS community service/institutional district to accommodate a new contract agreement with the exhibition company. Exhibition officials have allowed a fitness-related business, Inner Strength, to set up operations in a building on the grounds.

South SaskAll-star Stealth win provincial 12U ‘A’ lacrosse gold team comprised of players from Moose Jaw Lacrosse Association, other southern communities takes top spot in provincial tournament.

Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The South Sask Stealth proved they could win big and win the close ones at the Sask Lacrosse ‘A’ 12-and-under box championships.

They have the gold medals to show for it.

The Stealth -- comprised of players from the Moose Jaw Lacrosse Association and other southern communities -- put together a 3-1 record through the event, closing things out with a 9-5 victory over the Saskatoon SWAT in the title game. They opened the tournament with a 10-3 win over the Regina Barracuda before dropping a 6-5 decision to the North Sask Predators and finishing the round robin with a 3-1 win over the SWAT. Stealth 12U 10, Barracuda 3 The Stealth wasted little time getting off to a fast start in the tournament opener, rolling out to a 3-0 lead in the first period and extending their edge to 6-1 through two before tacking on four insurance markers in the final frame.

Moose Jaw’s Caiden Arnott scored once and added a pair of assists, while fellow Mustang Kashton Smith had two goals to go along with single markers from Luke Turner, Hayden Nidesh and Vincent Griffiths.

Weyburn’s Alex Labrecque and Estevan’s

Members of the Moose Jaw Mustangs who won gold with the South Sask Stealth at the ‘A’ provincial championships this past weekend.

Cameron Millbrandt each had two goals and an assist to lead the Stealth offence.

Predators 6, Stealth 5 North Sask built a 4-0 early in the third period, but the Stealth scored five goals in just under four minutes to take a 5-4 lead with 4:10 to play. That edge wouldn’t

last, though, as the Predators scored the tying goal with 49 seconds left and the game-winner with 28 seconds to play.

Labrecque had two goals and an assist, Milbrandt and Swift Current’s Chayse Schafer had a goal and a helper each. Griffiths scored Moose Jaw’s other goal.

Stealth 3, SWAT 1 The Stealth were in for another close and hard-fought contest to finish off the round robin, this time with a spot in the gold medal final on the line.

The game was tied 1-1 midway through the third when Schafer scored to give South Sask the lead, and three minutes later Labrecque added an insurance marker to secure the win. Swift Current’s Diezel Paulhus scored the Stealth’s first goal 3:10 into the second period.

Stealth 9, SWAT 5 South Sask found themselves nursing a 6-5 lead with just over 12 minutes to play when three unanswered goals would secure the gold medal.

Moose Jaw’s Chase Folk scored the first insurance goal with 10:55 to play, followed

by Smith 29 seconds later and Labrecque with the tournament’s final goal with 5:36 to play.

Labrecque once again led the way offensively with three goals and four points, while Smith had two goals and an assist and Paulhus added a pair of markers.

Milbrandt scored their other goal, Missal picked up two assists.

was off to the gold medal contest .

Standing Buffalo’s Ryder Hignett led the Stealth with two goals and four points, while Simpson and Weyburn’s Hunter Willoughby had two goals apiece. Pladson, Armstrong and Swift Current’s Shane Cornelson had single markers.

Barracuda 11, South Sask 2

Members of the Moose Jaw Mustangs who won gold with the South Sask Stealth at the ‘A’ provincial championships this past weekend.

The South Sask Stealth came away with a second-place finish at the Sask Lacrosse ‘A’ provincial championship tournament in Regina over the Aug. 8 weekend.

The Stealth lost their opening game to the Regina Barracuda 7-3 but rebounded with an 11-6 victory over the Saskatoon SWAT in their second contest. That sent them into the semifinal bronze medal game, where South Sask picked up a 9-7 win over the SWAT. Things didn’t go as well in the championship contest, though, as the Barracuda rolled to an 11-2 victory and the gold medal.

Barracuda 7, Stealth 3 Things didn’t get off to the best of starts for the Stealth in the older division, as leading 2-1 after the first, Regina scored three straight goals to build a 5-1 second period lead. South Sask would get one back before the period was out but would get no closer.

Moose Jaw’s Lachlan Clark had one of the Stealth’s goals, Standing Buffalo’s Sawyer Leko and Jack Missal scored South Sask’s

other markers.

Stealth 11, Saskatoon 6 The Stealth apparently wanted nothing to do with falling behind in their second game of the tournament.

South Sask scored seven first-period goals -- including five in the game’s first six minutes -- to take control against the SWAT. The Mustangs’ Brodyn Pladson picked up where he left off after being named a provincial all-star two weekends ago, scoring three times and finishing with a four-point night.

Clark also had a solid contest with a goal and three points, while Leko had two goals and an assist. Swift Current’s Hudson Hayden scored a pair of goals, Missal and Lumsden’s Declan Armstrong each had single markers. Swift Current’s Brady Simpson picked up two assists.

Stealth 9, SWAT 7 Things didn’t look good for the Stealth heading into the final seven minutes, as they trailed 6-4 and hadn’t scored since a power play goal early in the second period.

Five straight goals later, and South Sask

Things were close in the first period, with Regina holding a 3-2 lead, but seven-straight second period goals would give the Barracuda all the offence they’d need to claim gold.

Hignett and Leko scored the only South Sask goals, Armstrong and Moose Jaw’s Chase McKee had single assists.

The Warriors naturally wish they were doing that all at home right from the start.

But with no ice installed in any rink in Moose Jaw and Barkman Arena in Caronport booked solid, the Lumsden Sports Centre was happy to help.

“It’s obviously disappointing we can’t be in Moose Jaw,” Weisgerber said. “It was tough to find ice, and we were very fortunate that Lumsden was able to move a couple groups they had booked in order to accommodate us in their rink. It’s disappointing that everyone else is open and we’re searching for ice… but it is what it is.”

The Warriors home opener is set for Wednesday, Sept. 29 when they host the Estevan Bears at Mosaic Place.

Canucks back on winning track after 13U AAA win over Buffalos Moose Jaw snaps three game skid with 13-2 victory in Regina Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Canucks found themselves back in the Baseball Regina 13-and-under AAA win column on Thursday night, and in style at that.

The Canucks banged out 20 hits and turned in an impressive game in the field on their way to a 13-2 victory over the Regina Buffaloes in Regina.

The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the local squad and marked one of their top offensive outputs of the season.

Things were close in the early going, as Moose Jaw took a 2-1 lead into the third inning, but a four-run outbreak in the third kicked off the streak of success at the plate for the local squad. The Canucks increased their lead to 7-2 through four, 9-2 through

five and added another four runs in the sixth to invoke the mercy rule.

Tyson Ross had a solid game at the plate, going 3-for-3 with two runs scored and a run batted in, while Max Craig was 3-for-5 with two runs and two RBI. Ryder Hicks and Nick Bechard also had three hits each, with Hicks scoring two runs and Bechard one; Luke Pratte went 2-for-4 with three RBI and Kaison Skeoch 2-for-4 with a pair of runs.

Kyren Ernest scored a pair of runs on two hits and joined Skeoch, Craig and Hunter Scott in hitting doubles.

All that offence was more than enough support for the Canucks pitchers, who had solid games themselves.

Ryan Gibbs started on the mound and allowed a single run on four hits, striking out three in three innings of work. Ramsey Thompson took over in the fourth and was just as effective the rest of the way, allowing a single run on three hits and striking out six.

The Canucks were back in action Monday when they travelled to Regina for a rematch with the Buffalos.

Scoring info was unavailable as of press time.

Kyren Ernest had a pair of base hits and scored two runs in the win over the Regina Buffaloes.

Former Prairie Hockey Academy Cougars on the move in SJHL Weyburn trades forward McGrath to Humboldt, sign goaltender Mitchell

Former Prairie Hockey Academy goaltender Dazza Mitchell signed with the Weyburn Red Wings recently.

A pair of former Prairie Hockey Academy standouts are on the move in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.

Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

The Weyburn Red Wings announced a pair of roster changes earlier in the week, first signing former Cougars goaltender Dazza Mitchell to a player agreement and later trading forward Connor McGrath to the Humboldt Broncos.

Mitchell, 17, played for the Cougars U16 Prep team in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League during the 2019-20 season and put together an impressive campaign, seeing action in 19 games and recording a 2.75 goals against average to go along with .931 save percentage -- the highest in the U16 Prep division.

The Regina native suited up for his hometown Pat Canadians in the hyper-abbreviated 2020-21 Saskatchewan Male AAA Hockey League campaign, playing three games and posting a 2.00 GAA, .912 save percentage and recording one shutout.

For McGrath, the trade moves the 17-yearold forward closer to his hometown of Leroy and comes after suiting up for the Red Wings last season, where he scored a single goal in four games before the pandemic brought the season to halt.

McGrath played for the PHA U16 Prep squad 2018-19 season and was fifth in team scoring with seven goals and 35 points in 32 games. He was among the crew of PHA standouts who signed on with the Moose Jaw AAA Warriors the following season, and would go on to lead the SMAAAHL finalists in scoring with 23 goals and 49 points in 44 games.

The trade to Humboldt included forward Kyle Bailey and was for a player development fee.

The Red Wings open their 2021-22 SJHL season on Sept. 24 against the Melville

Weyburn recently traded former PHA Cougars and Moose Jaw AAA Warriors standout Connor McGrath to the Humboldt Broncos.

Millionaires, the Broncos are in action the same night when they travel to Notre Dame.

No luck for Moose Jaw Ice at U19IceAunable provincial fastball championship to find win column through four games at elite tournament Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Kalena Adrian delivers for the Moose Jaw Ice earlier this season.

The Softball Saskatchewan U19 ‘A’ provincial championship tournament wasn’t all that kind to the Moose Jaw Ice.

The local squad had some close games in Regina but fell short of picking up a win against the top teams in the province.

The Ice opened the event on Aug. 6 with a 4-2 loss to the Saskatoon Selects before losing a 7-0 decision to the Prince Albert Aces. Moose Jaw then took a 6-3 loss to the Regina Kaos in their first game Aug. 7 before wrapping up the tournament with an 8-1 loss to the Saskatoon Selects.

Selects 4, Ice 2 Moose Jaw had their share of opportunities to put up runs -- as their 11 hits in the game would indicate -- but only managed to bring across single markers in the second and fifth innings.

Saskatoon, meanwhile, put up a three-spot in the third and tacked on an insurance marker in the fourth.

Malea Kletzel had a solid game at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a run scored, while Kalena Adrian was 2-for-4 and Paige McClinton 2-for-3, each knocking in a run. Sydney Miskiman also had two hits.

Adrian had a solid game in the circle, allowing four runs on seven hits and striking out nine over six innings.

Aces 7, Ice 0 Prince Albert scored five runs in the second inning to build a 6-0 lead and added on one in the fourth to take the mercy-rule win.

Moose Jaw had only two hits in the game, those coming

off the bats of Kletzel and Sidney Ellingson.

Taylor Luciak allowed all seven runs, but only two were earned, as the Aces’ big inning was aided by a pair of errors. She’d finish the game allowing seven hits and striking out two.

Kaos 6, Ice 3 Trailing 5-0, the Ice attempted a late-game comeback with a run in the sixth and two more in the seventh but would just fall short.

The final inning saw some offensive fireworks for Moose Jaw, as Fysh led off the inning with a triple and one batter later Ember Dusomme would hit a two-run home run to get the Ice within three.

Kletzel was 1-for-3 with an RBI, Luciak scored their other run.

Pitching details were unavailable.

Saskatoon 8, Moose Jaw 1 Even with the lopsided final score, the Ice found themselves in a competitive contest -- the Selects didn’t have any big innings, scoring three in the first, leading 5-0 through two and 7-0 through three before Moose Jaw scored their lone run.

Fysh finished the game 2-for-2 and knocked home Kletzel with that score.

Pitching information was unavailable.

Moose Jaw Ice unable to find win column at U14 A provincials Ice go winless through four games at Softball Sask South tournament in Regina Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Softball Saskatchewan provincial U14 A championships didn’t go as planned for the Moose Jaw Ice. Seeing action in South championship tournament, the Ice fell 9-3 to the Lumsden Cubs and 20-3 to the Regina Lazers on Aug. 6 before dropping an 11-1 decision to the Balgonie Storm in their opening game Aug. 7. They closed out the event with a 15-3 loss to the Regina Rippers in the final.

Cubs 9, U14 Ice 3 Untimely errors proved to be the difference in the U14 opener, as only three of Lumsden’s nine runs were earned.

Starter Kiarra Adrian took the hardest hit, with only two of her seven runs allowed counting as earned. She finished her three innings of work allowing six hits, two strikeouts and five walks. Peyton Mengel closed out the contest, allowing two runs on a hit and five walks, striking out three.

The Cubs did most of their damage with five runs in the third inning, taking a 7-1 lead.

Blake Maltais and Marisa Montgomery each had a hit and run scored for Moose Jaw, Taya Molde had their other run.

Lazers 20, U14 Ice 3 The Lazers’ offence was relentless in game two, with their top three hitters accounting for 11 runs on 11 hits and knocking in nine runs. Regina led 11-1 after two innings and scored the maximum seven runs in the second and fourth.

The Ice, meanwhile, had four hits in the game, with Mal-

Kyra Menzies had a base hit in the final game at provincials for the Moose Jaw U14 A Ice. tais going 2-for-3 with a run scored and run batted in.

Maddie Cruz and Adrian had their other hits, Kenzie Mar-

tel and Kyra Menzies their other runs.

Montgomery and Cruz saw action in the circle.

Storm 11, U14 Ice 1 The Ice were right with Balgonie through three innings, trailing 5-1, but the Storm scored six in the top of the fourth to put the contest away.

Moose Jaw managed only one hit in the contest, that coming off the bat of Dayna Newberry in the fourth inning. Mengel scored the lone Ice run in the second inning, reaching on an error and stealing her way around before scoring on a passed ball.

Mengel went the distance in the circle, allowing 10 earned runs on 10 hits and striking out three.

Rippers 15, Ice 3 Moose Jaw got off to a solid start and only trailed 6-3 after the first inning, but five Regina runs in the second opened things up and a four-spot in the third invoked the mercy rule.

The Rippers had nine hits in the game, but five Ice errors contributed to their outbreak of runs. Cruz pitched and went the distance, allowing only four earned runs out of the 15, striking out a pair and walking five.

The Ice, meanwhile, had only three hits, with Jakson McAuley going 1-for-2 with a run scored. Taya Molde and Menzies had their other knocks; Maltais and Martel also crossed the plate.

Canadians win Rambler Park fastball playoffs opener First-round win sets up ‘A’ semifinal match-up with first-place Golden Hawks Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

The Moose Jaw Canadians are off to the start they were hoping for in the Rambler Park Fastball Association playoffs.

The Canadians opened the double knock-out tournament with a 5-4 victory over the Little Black Bear Blues at Kaplan Field in Regina on Wednesday, Aug. 11, advancing to the ‘A’ semi-final against the Golden Hawks.

Interestingly enough, the Canadians -- who finished fourth in the six-team league with a 5-6-1 record -- were the only squad to take game off Golden (11-1-0) in the regular season, winning 1-0 at Memorial Field back on June 29. The Hawks won their other match-up 6-3 on June 25.

The Moose Jaw Giants also now know who they’ll be facing in their ‘A’ semi-final match-up.

That would be the Standing Buffalo Dakotas, who won

their first-round game 6-4 over the Earl Grey Rockets on Aug. 11.

Standing Buffalo finished in sixth with a 3-8-2 record, with one of their ties coming on June 24, a 1-1 draw with the Giants at Rambler Park. The two teams rematched on July 8 in Regina, with Moose Jaw taking a 7-2 victory.

The Giants finished the season with an 8-2-2 record, earning a first-round bye.

Both ‘A’ semi-final games were slated for Monday, Aug. 16, with scores unavailable as of press time.

The winners of those two games will advance to the ‘A’ final. The loser of Golden and the Canadians will drop down to the ‘B’ side and take on Earl Grey, the loser of the Giants and Standing Buffalo will face Little Black Bear.

Both those games are slated for Wednesday, Aug. 18.

Riley Almasi and the Moose Jaw Canadians won their opening game in the Rambler Park Fastball Association playoffs.

Moose Jaw Athletics eliminated from Twilight Maxi provincials A’s drop 15-6 decision to Birsay Brewers, fall 16-3 to Saskatoon Rhinos to close out tournament Randy Palmer - Moose Jaw Express

Former Moose Jaw Warriors standout and Tampa Bay Lightning forward Blair Jones pitches for Saskatoon.

After getting off to a solid start at the Baseball Saskatchewan Twilight Maxi 35-andover provincial championships, the Moose Jaw Athletics didn’t have a lot of luck the rest of the way.

Moose Jaw opened with a 4-1 win over the Regina Red Dogs on Friday afternoon but dropped a 15-6 decision to the Birsay Brewers in their second round robin game and were eliminated after taking a 16-3 defeat on Saturday afternoon at Ross Wells Park.

With the top two teams in Pool A advancing to the semifinal on Sunday, the 1-2 record knocked the Athletics from contention.

The tournament final took place on Sunday afternoon, with scores unavailable as of press time.

Rhinos 16, Athletics 3 Moose Jaw trailed 4-0 heading into the bottom of the fourth when a three-run inning got the Athletics back to within one, but things came apart the very next inning.

A five-run frame posted Saskatoon to a 9-3 lead and they’d tack on seven more in the sixth. Former Moose Jaw Cardinals Midget AAA standout Brandon Loveridge hit a two-run home run for Saskatoon to key the big inning.

The Rhinos had a second Moose Jaw connection as former Warriors forward and Tampa Bay Lightning prospect Blair Jones pitched the final two innings for Saskatoon.

Tyhy, Jim Howe and Gregg Happ scored Moose Jaw’s runs; Novak was again stranded twice after reaching scoring position. Glasser also reached in both trips to

the plate.

Brewers 15, Athletics 6 Things were close in the early going on Friday night, as the two teams were tied 3-3 after two innings and the Brewers led 6-4 through three.

That all changed the next inning, though as five of the first six Birsay baserunners reached, leading to a six-run outbreak and a 12-4 lead. The Brewers tacked on three more runs in the fifth inning to close out the contest.

Dustin Miller reached base twice for Moose Jaw and scored a pair of runs, while Dan Glasser, Adam Pasquet and Mike Tyhy scored their other runs. Curt Novak reached scoring position twice but was unable to bring home a run.

Dustin Usher hits a bloop single to centrefield for to bring home the A’s first run of the game on Friday night.

Dana Chesney delivers for Moose Jaw in the second inning against the Red Dogs.

Former Moose Jaw Cardinals standout Brandon Loveridge hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning for Saskatoon.

Athletics 4, Red Dogs 1 The local squad staged a fifth-inning rally to take control of their opening game, scoring four runs and going on to a 4-1 victory.

Michael Hunt and Jeff Novak each reached base before Dustin Usher dropped a Texas Leaguer into centrefield to bring home Hunt with Moose Jaw’s first run. The A’s used a combination of timely hits, solid baserunning and a good plate discipline to do the rest of their damage in the inning, with Novak, Usher and Dan Poirier all coming around to score.

Hunt and Usher each reached base twice in the game.

Dana Chesney got the start and allowed the single run in the first before shutting down Regina the rest of the way. Hunt closed out the contest with three shut-out innings.

The Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame will be hosting their 36th Annual Induction on Satuday, August 21, 2021 Father Leonard Albers I will be inducted Post-mortem.

In 1944 Leonard entered the seminary in Regina and was ordained into the Roman Catholic Priesthood in 1948. He continued to play baseball, mostly in the outfield, with the Notre Dame Hounds, while preparing for the Priesthood. It was during his baseball experience with the hounds in the 1940’s that Leonard developed his passion for the game of baseball. He believed in playing the game the right way. Although he was not blessed with great natural ability, he always played the best he could and as a playing coach and manager, he demanded the same from every player.

After his ordination, Father Albers was assigned to Estevan, where he remained for six [6] years, during which he took a hiatus from the game as his Superior would not

hear of a priest playing baseball. Father Albers, however, was successful in developing minor baseball in Estevan as well as having a ball diamond built. [Cactus Park] In 1955 Father Albers was appointed Administrator of St. Joseph’s Parish in Langenburg, Saskatchewan. Here he played shortstop for 2 years with the Langenburg baseball team.

Father Albers was transferred to Manor, Saskatchewan, in1957 where he organized a 15 and under baseball team. At that time this age group was known as the Babe Ruth League. After they graduated from this group, Father Albers took this group of teenagers, formed a senior team, with Father Albers catching, that became one of the best senior teams in Saskatchewan.

In 1964 Father Albers was transferred to Wynyard, Saskatchewan, where he and Dudley Peterson organized a senior team that competed with Leroy, Wynyard and Quill Lake region.

Returning to Wilcox he played with the Notre Dame Hounds from 1970 to 1974, retiring from baseball at the age of 50 years.

Leonard Albers did not accumulate Provincial or Western Canada Awards, was not awarded MVP honours or won a batting championship, however, his contribution to grassroots baseball in Saskatchewan was incredible.

Father Leonard Albers died in 2014.

Goldie Wiggins will be inducted Post-mortem.

day School Superintendant and served on Church Boards. Goldie also served on the Landis Town Council and helped at the Senior Citizens Drop-In Centre and was overseer for years at a church camp near Battleford.

From an early age, baseball was Goldie’s passion, especially pitching. He would practice his curve ball by standing parallel to the barn and throwing the ball alongside the barn so it would curve into the open barn door. Growing up Goldie played many scrub games with family and relatives. His mother always played first base. He first played with the Huronville and Fillmore baseball teams as a pitcher.

Attending Regina College in 1924, Goldie played on their team. Later for three years, he played with Arcola A11 Stars in the Border League. They also played exhibition games against the travelling teams which

Goldie really enjoyed, especially when he hit a home run off one of their star pitchers.

Playing with different teams at the various Sports Days, Goldie would pitch as many as 21 innings in one day. He would then not pitch for a week. He was a talented submarine pitcher, with a very effective upshoot ball. He also was a very good batter. In the l92O’s and 1930’s Goldie played with many of the well known players like Lefty White, Cliff Ball and Gayle Shupe.

Arnold Treble, now deceased, stated he does not remember Goldie ever making an error on the diamond.

Goldie played baseball well into his forties and even pitched the odd game when he was in his fifties. He then coached baseball and was instrumental in organizing and promoting active minor baseball wherever he was, and wherever he was needed.

Goldie’s philosophy was “If work inter-

feres with baseball, you have to let the work go.”

The following are two quotes of many from very old newspaper clippings: June 8, 1925-”Wiggins, the college pitcher who did mound duty for Eastview, had the hard hitting St. Mary’s team at his mercy all night. They managed to get 3 hits off him while he struck out 10. In five innings only 15 men faced him, and he disposed of them as fast as they arrived at the platter----” June 17, |925-”Eastside Baseball----one of the snappiest games of the year. Wiggins bested in a pitching duel--. Incidentally, he banged a triple in the fourth driving in--and coming home himself, proving to be the winning run.”

Goldie Wiggins died February 9,1987 at Weyburn, Saskatchewan.

Albers, Father Leonard I 2020 Leonard Albers grew up on the family farm 15 km south of Bengough, Saskatchewan.

In 1940 his father arranged for him to attend Notre Dame College in Wilcox, SK. where he obtained his grade12 diploma in 1941 and his Bachelor of Arts in 1944.

His influence on Saskatchewan baseball had it’s roots playing with the Notre Dame Hounds, where he learned the game from Leo Sullivan who had played centre field for the Harvard baseball team and as well, playing under Frank Germann, who managed the Notre Dame Hounds baseball program for decades.

Wiggins, Goldie, The Late The Late Goldie Wiggins was born December 6, lg)3 at Hargrave, Manitoba. ln 1904 the family moved to the homestead at Huronville, Saskatchewan.

Goldie attended school at Frewell School #2050 and Fillmore High School #929. He then attended Normal School in Regina.

After teaching for a time, Goldie attended Regina College and returned to teaching.

Later in his life, Goldie worked on farms and in 1944 he took over the home farm after his father passed away. He became interested in the Co-operative movement and in 1948 moved to Fillmore and worked for the Co-op, then at the Co-op in Riceton then Landis until he retired. He took an active part in the church, singing in the choir, teaching Sunday School, was a Sun-

Volunteers needed for Moose Jaw Family Services group programs

By April Meersman

Moose Jaw Family Services is looking for caring people with a wide range of experience to help foster community support through group interaction and childcare services.

The community volunteers provide peer-driven support to those who are in need of childcare, parenting skills or independent living skills. Peer support opens up a wide range of opportunities to grow as a community by simply supporting the growth of the family.

Moose Jaw Family Services offer a variety of programs including counselling, the Family Support program and Living Independent Skills program to name a few. The volunteers are crucial in keeping these family service’s projects ongoing and allowing new groups to be formed.

The young parent program (YPP) offers young parents a place to learn parenting skills, educational opportunities and personal development. This group gives participants the chance to interact with other young parents creating social networking and independent support. Volunteers provide support along the way.

The childcare service, offered by Family Services, plays a very important role by providing parents a safe place for their child/children. Volunteers help support working mothers and fathers. This program allows parents peace of mind when they attend the centre knowing they can participate while their child is cared for through the childcare service.

The role for a volunteer is potentially widespread but it comes down to giving what you

can. Time, experience and knowledge can make the difference to someone who is learning personal growth strategies. It takes a community to raise a community.

Family services need volunteers on an ongoing basis. The more community volunteers who sign up then creates more options for new programs and projects to open up in the future.

Becoming a Family Services community volunteer assistant is not difficult. Your knowledge and guidance will improve the quality of someone else’s life. To sign up as a volunteer you will need to provide: For students - having completed their babysitting course.

For adults - fill out the volunteer application provided by Family Services. Please note that a criminal check is also required.

Anyone looking to becoming a volunteer is asked to call Brenda Zinn at 306-694-8135 or email her at brenda@mjfamilyservices.ca For more information on Moose Jaw Family Services, check their website at: https:// www.mjfamilyservices.ca/home/ Giving to your community through volunteering is receiving a community that is growing.

Dayna Chamberlain - Funeral Director

April 29, 1936 - August 22, 2019

Our two-year-old granddaughter has discovered the word, “hot.” I guess she has heard her parents say the word enough when they want to discourage her from touching something that is hot and may harm her. So when she sees steam rising from my cup of coffee, she says, “hot.” When we serve her some dinner on her plate she looks quizzically and asks, “Hot?” This summer of 2021 has certainly been a hot one. Our climate is changing, and temperatures are rising. The causes of this increase in temperature can be debated. That is not an issue I intend to address at this point. The fact I emphasize is that as the air around us becomes hotter, our bodies become hotter, especially as nighttime temperatures increase. Our bodies don’t have time to cool off before another new hot day begins. The heat wave that inflicted British Columbia at the end of June resulted in more than 800 dying because of it being “hot.”

The word “hot” derives from the Old Saxon “het,” meaning a high temperature or burning. So in English the prime meaning is having a relatively high temperature. But the word is also used in various ways and contexts. “Hot” can be marked by violence or fierceness; stormy or angry. The

word can also have a sexual implication. “Hot” can also mean fresh or very bright, such as “hot off the press” and “hot pink.” “Hot” also implies very good or currently in demand. It is used for radioactive material and objects illegally obtained. One can become “hot under the collar” with no real reference to temperature. No wonder English is such a difficult language to grasp.

In the Book of Exodus Moses was very frustrated with Pharaoh’s refusal to let the people of Israel go, even after numerous plagues. “Moses went out from Pharaoh in khoree (hot) anger.” This is related to the Hebrew word for “burning.” Psalm 39 records, “My distress grew worse, my heart became (chamam) hot within me.” In Proverbs 15:18 the saying is noted, “A chemah (hot-tempered) man stirs up strife.” The nuances of the English word “hot” are contained in various words in other languages.

Consider this verse from the Revelation to St. John, “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.” The Greek word translated as hot is zestos, referencing boiling water. Water is useful when it is hot or cold, but in between water is not good for much. Hence the English word zesty implies a piquancy or liveliness, an extreme gusto or relish.

When we are lukewarm about things nothing much gets done; little impact on life takes place. But when we are “hot” about something, it moves us to action. People who get things done are often hot about the issue or concern.

Lukewarm might be a nice temperature for golfing but won’t inspire much in life. Don’t be afraid to let your passions, your feelings, be hot. Not everything need move you to extremes but if nothing does then life will drift aimlessly. Discover things that make you “hot.” Let the temperature in you rise on some of the issues that face our community and country. Then you will act. Too many people do nothing, just “spit them out of mouth,” so to speak. Life is meant to be zesty, extremely lived . . . HOT.

Vandals target fountain, flowerpots at jewelry business Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Jewelry business Fifth Avenue Collection likes to beautify its front yard to give tourists something to photograph, but lately, vandals have made it difficult to showcase a tidy appearance.

On Aug. 1 around 6 p.m., security cameras at the Stadacona Street business captured a woman knocking over a two-tiered fountain, with police later arresting her. Video also showed another woman stealing flowerpots earlier in the day.

Dzung Huynh, an IT specialist with the business, explained recently that a supervisor contacted him and said to check the security footage to confirm what happened.

The IT specialist reviewed the footage and discovered that the woman came from the west and made a beeline straight for the fountain.

“She was prancing like she was going to do something (illegal),” he said.

Huynh was unsure how much it would cost to repair the fountain or whether it would be replaced but pointed out this has happened before. Vandals seem to strike the business’ front yard about once or twice a year, usually with-

out reason. This also seems to happen when the weather is nice.

“They also steal our extension cords,” he laughed.

It wasn’t just the fountain that was vandalized on that day, either. Based on the security footage, Huynh indicated that another woman in a bunnyhug and carrying a backpack stole three flowerpots around 7 a.m. and then walked west on Stadacona.

It’s frustrating that people continue to hit the business in this way, while it’s worse not knowing why they do it, Huynh said. Fifth Avenue Collection likes to keep its front yard beautiful since tourist buses and the Tourism Moose Jaw trolley usually drive past for photographs.

Huynh has heard from police that the woman they arrested had a mental illness. Meanwhile, the business has not yet pressed charges against the woman and is unsure if it will.

Residents should remember that security cameras are scattered around the grounds, he

There should be flowerpots in those metal rings, but a thief made off with them.

added, and they will be captured on video if they vandalize the yard.

Staff Sgt. Taylor Elder with the Moose Jaw Police Service confirmed that officers received a call on Aug. 1 after 6 p.m. about damage to the fountain. Officers arrived to find the woman sitting in the fountain, so they arrested her and charged her with mischief; she will appear in court on Sept. 20.

“It’s not fair of me to talk about her mental health; I wasn’t there,” he continued. “There’s signs that the public kind of misinterprets mental health issues with drug abuse issues. … it’s believed that drug intoxication was a factor in this.”

Elder added that Moose Jaw police do not normally respond to incidents at Fifth Avenue Collection.
