Radiothon raises over $200,000 for Health Foundation Randy Palmer

It’s become an annual spring tradition and one that helps so many people in so many ways – the CHAB Family First Radiothon, a 36-hour on-air pledge fundraiser is designed to raise funds for the Moose Jaw Health Foundation.

The 12th edition took place at the end of last week and ended up being one of the most successful ever, with a total of $209,856 raised for the purchase of a host of new and improved equipment at the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital in Moose Jaw. “It’s a total community effort,” said Health Foundation director Kelly McElree. “Big businesses, small businesses, groups and organizations of all kind come together to make the magic happen with the Radiothon. Some people contribute $1,000, some contribute $5, but every dollar counts.”

The fundraising goal this year was $125,000, with that money earmarked for a traveling endoscopy cart ($57,533), a glidescope digital camera system for intubation and removal of foreign bodies in the airway ($21,000), a new defibrillator ($23,287) and a new surgical cart to offer quick access to equipment in the operating theatre ($6,000).

With the radiothon shattering that goal by more than $75,000, the hospital will now be able to purchase those items, as well as additional essential equipment as needed.

“So we’re just so thankful to the community to make this possible... it’s truly what family is about and will help thousands of people over the years, as well as have an immediate impact,” McElree said. “All these donations will stay in the community and help our friends and family should they ever need to be at the hospital.”

As has become an annual tradition, one final large dona-

As both patrons have now passed, the 2018 Radiothon will mark their final donation after sending hundreds of thousands of dollars the Foundation’s way over the last 12 years.

“Once again, they pushed us over the top and they’re a very special couple near and dear to the hearts of the Foundation and everyone here at the hospital,” McElree said. “We wouldn’t have a lot the things this facility has without their support and there’s no way they can thank them enough.”

Starting the Season Safely

Saskatchewan farmers and ranchers are the backbone of our economy, contributing about 10 per cent of the province’s GDP. Agriculture continues to drive growth and keep Saskatchewan’s economy strong with total exports more than doubling over the past decade to 14.4 billion dollars.

The 2018-19 Saskatchewan Budget supports a strong agriculture sector with record investment in ag research and continued strong support for business risk management programs, such as Crop Insurance. The budget also includes increased funding for Animal Protection Services of Saskatchewan.

Bill 125, The Saskatchewan Value-Added Agriculture Incentive, has also been introduced in the Legislature. The new incentive is designed to improve

investment attraction and retention outcomes in the province’s value-added ag sector by offering a 15 per cent non-refundable tax credit for value-added agriculture facilities that make a significant capital investment to expand production capacity.

Supporting the sustainability and growth of the agriculture industry will help producers increase crop production, value-added processing and agri-food exports. This will ensure that Saskatchewan continues to be a leader in providing healthy, affordable food for our province and the world.

Before the snow had completely disappeared from the fields, the spring agriculture season was already in progress. Traveling to and from Regina for the spring session of the legislature, I am noticing more and more equipment is out working the fields. I think about the safety of the operators of those machines and all of the work that is occurring on farms and ranches at this busy time of year.

Grain production especially has the peak seasons of seeding and harvest when the weather and other factors can impact operations. During this time of substantial activity, finishing the job quickly can become a priority and making a deliberate effort to focus on safety is crucial at these times.

Agriculture is one of Saskatchewan’s largest and most hazardous industries. While less than one-quarter of Saskatchewan’s working population lives on a farm, farm fatalities account for one-third of all worker fatalities in the province. There are resources available through the Government of Saskatchewan to help prevent farm accidents. These

resources are useful to both owner operators, and to those employed on farms and ranches. Saskatchewan.ca/farmsafety is an excellent place to start.

The Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety’s Farm Safety Program provides advice about training, clarifies employer and worker roles and responsibilities, and identifies common workplace hazards on the farm.

The Farm Safety Program is about management practices that will help ensure the health and safety of everyone on the farm. It provides a 10-step plan to help you protect your employees, your family, and yourself from injuries and illness on your farm; information on how the occupational health and safety legislation applies to farms and ranches; and references to publications and websites that can help you develop your farm safety plan.

I admire the courage it takes to be an agricultural producer, when your livelihood depends on a number of uncontrollable variables; like the weather.

The Farm Stress Line is a valuable resource. It is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to provide confidential crisis telephone counselling, support and referral information to individuals, youth and families in rural areas. The Farm Stress Line is available at 1-800-667-4442.

Thank you to our agricultural workers who help feed the world. I wish you all a safe and successful growing season.

REFLECTIVE MOMENTS School milk project produce measly return While strolling through the online pages for rural schools in the district, I noticed some food for thought in the regular postings for these educational facilities.

Food is the operative word, for indeed, in addition to school sports, class trips and reports of various activities for different grade levels, much attention was paid to the topic of food and the availability of it on school premises — over and above the packed lunches brought from home and carried in lunch buckets.

Much has changed since my enrolment in a rural school decades ago but it is interesting to make some compariJoyce Walter For Moose Jaw Express sons while the mind goes on a nostalgic trip, remembering how it was and then wondering, with some amusement, how we ever managed to survive our spartan lifestyle.

It wasn’t until Grade 10 or 11 that the Junior Red Cross group decided to take on a milk project two days a week. If I recall correctly, the home and school association financed the start-up which gave us funding to purchase small containers of chocolate and white milk at a wholesale cost, to be sold at a markup so eventually we would have a profit.

Chocolate was definitely the favourite among the students, but we were compelled by the teachers to offer white milk as well. It was a mad rush on milk days as it was first in line to snap up the chocolate containers, one per student. Those who dawdled had to settle for white milk.

And once a month we were allowed to order Revels as a special treat. We took orders in advance and didn’t have to worry about leftovers that had to be stored in the staff room refrigerator. It was always a puzzle to us when our inventory list often didn’t

match what we found in that staff room fridge that was off-limits to the students.

The milk project fizzled out when student volunteers were difficult to find and somehow the sales price didn’t provide enough of a cushion for profits to accrue. I conveniently can’t recall if the initial funding was ever repaid.

Now my alma mater regularly offers many opportunities for food at school: taco in a bag, pancake breakfasts, hamburgers and hotdogs, even pizza. Some food days are fundraisers for specific projects while others are simply to have food that hasn’t been packed at home. Now there’s even a microwave to allow students to heat their lunch items.

Grilled cheese sandwiches are a regular item at another school along the Trans-Canada. And at a school north of the city, a hot lunch day is scheduled once a month.

That school also has a canteen that offers chocolate milk, cheese and crackers, Fruitto-Go and frozen yogurt.

I do recall the day my school installed the pop machine, after some debate on the merits of sugary drinks. For a mere quarter, we could enjoy a favourite flavour, with a bucket provided so we could get some money back on the empty containers — recycling before recycling was called that.

We managed to overcome the rule of one drink per day per student by having students “who didn’t drink” buy our drinks for us. Teachers either didn’t catch on or felt it was a battle unworthy of their time.

And we had drinking water in the school — available free of charge at the water fountain just down the hall from the office and staff room. No loitering allowed.

I wonder if that fountain is still there and has the pop machine been outlawed by school board policy? Possibly.

the brother who never came home. At its heart, Jake’s Gift is about the legacy of remembrance and personalizes the story behind one soldier’s grave.

The play is written and performed by BC based playwright and actress, Julia Mackey, and directed by her partner, Dirk Van Stralen. The couple formed their theatre company, Juno Productions, back in 2007. Since then, they have toured Jake’s Gift to over 250 communities across Canada, including international stops in the US, the UK and to Normandy for the 70th and 73rd Anniversary of D-Day. Jake’s Gift was inspired by Mackey’s own journey to Juno Beach for the 60th Anniversary of D-Day in June 2004. For one week, she interviewed dozens of veterans, walked the beaches and visited the graveyards that became the final resting place for thousands of Canadians who gave the ultimate sacrifice. She describes that experience as one of the most moving of her life, and she felt compelled to share it with other Canadians.

She is excited to bring the show to Moose Jaw for the first time. “I’ve never done the show in Moose Jaw before. We had an extensive tour in Saskatchewan last spring where we went to about 17 rural communities. The play is a one woman show where I play all the characters.

The evening that people will see is a one act play where I switch back and forth between the old veteran and this young girl who he meets in Normandy who now lives in the town he helped liberate. The story is about their friendship and how she helps him deal with some unresolved ghosts,” said Mackey. “The evening is kind of an emotional rollercoaster. It is very much a drama, but it also has a lot of comedy in the show, as well.”

She said the show is open to a wide variety of audiences. “We’ve had audiences from as young as 10 years old up to 101, so the show is great for anyone basically except for very younger kids. A lot of families can come out to enjoy the show.

The evening is about celebrating and re-

membering the fallen heroes from Moose Jaw—the guys who did not get to come home.”

Mackey added that, Moose Jaw and area soldiers who did not make it home from the War will be honored after the show through a fundraiser. “The show also serves as a fundraiser for the Canadian Fallen Heroes Foundation. They will have about five or six plaques in the lobby on display that specifically honors Moose Jaw soldiers that never came home.”

A presentation will also be made to the Legion. “We will be doing a special presentation to the Legion as well of a beautiful print called Fallen Hero. We will also be raising money for the Legion when we sell Jake’s Gift button packages after the show. We look forward to performing in Moose Jaw.” To purchase tickets to Jake’s Gift, you can visit www.jakesgifts.com or www. moosejawculture.ca or visit the box office at the Mae Wilson Theatre. The cost of the tickets is $30.

Competitors take the stage during the Dance Challenge on the final day of competition at the Moose Jaw Festival of Dance.

Close to 1,000 dancers from all over Western Canada converged on Moose Jaw this past week for the Dance Inspirations competition conducted by the Moose Jaw Festival of Dance.

All were vying for an amazing package of scholarships and awards across every class, with the 2018 edition featuring in excess of $30,000 in winnings.

The event concluded with the Dance Challenge on Sunday afternoon, featuring the best of the best of group performances from the week aiming for group scholarships.

Seeding barely started by end of April

By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express

AGRIMART

EXPRESS A cold late spring delayed seeding operations throughout Saskatchewan this season.

Where one per cent of crops were planted last year by April 30, just a few farmers in

the south had started before May. Soil moisture levels are a concern in places but some rain fell in the last week of April according to the Saskatchewan Agriculture crop report.

In the southwest, almost an inch of rain fell at Big Beaver with four-fifths of an inch at Fife Lake and some at Mossbank.

Topsoil moisture in the southwest is rated

68 per cent adequate, 26 per cent short and six per cent very short.

In the southeast, which includes Moose Jaw, topsoil moisture is rated 47 per cent adequate, 39 per cent short and 14 per cent very short.

Moisture levels are 87 per cent adequate in the west-central region, 69 per cent adequate in the east-central region, 24 per

cent surplus and 72 per cent adequate in the northeast, three per cent surplus and 90 per cent adequate in the northwest.

Cattle producers are feeding alternate feeds and grain while they wait for pastures to get green with new growth.

New Tax Break for Seniors

A new tax deferral program has been created to help Saskatchewan seniors.

The Seniors Education Property Tax Deferral Program, which opened on April 10, will give Saskatchewan seniors with household incomes under $70,000 the option to defer the education portion of the property taxes on their home through a repayable loan.

“This program will provide low-to-moderate-income seniors with greater financial flexibility, and help them stay in their homes longer,” Social Services Minister and Minister Responsible for Saskatchewan Housing Corporation Paul Merriman said. “We are following through on an election promise and supporting our government’s priorities and strategies, including The Poverty Reduction Strategy.”

Seniors are eligible for the program if they: · are 65 years of age or older; · own and live in their home as their main residence in Saskatchewan; · have total household income below $70,000; and · maintain a minimum of 25 per cent

equity in their home.

Seniors can apply at any point in the year to defer their education property taxes.

Approved applicants will be enrolled in the program for 10 years with the option to opt out at any point. At the end of the 10-year enrollment period, seniors who would like to continue to defer future education property taxes can reapply to the program. Seniors remain responsible for the direct and full payment of their property taxes.

Repayment of the loans must occur when the program clients sell, transfer, or no longer reside in their homes or when they no longer meet the conditions of the loan.

Clients may also repay the loan at any time without penalty.

This program is only available for the education property taxes that are charged for a principal residence. If the senior has a secondary residence, farmland, or commercial property in addition to the principal residence, they may only defer the portion of education property taxes for the principal residence. Only the education property taxes for the current calendar year may be deferred.

People interested in the program can call 306-787-4177 or 1-800-667-7567 or email repairstaff@gov.sk.ca. For more information, visit www.saskatchewan. ca/residents/taxes-and-investments/property-taxes/seniors-education-property-tax-deferral-program.

Saskatchewan’s Improved 2018 Big Game Draw open online Hunters have until midnight on May 25 to submit their online applications for Saskatchewan’s big game draw.

This year’s draw introduces improvements to better allocate and prioritize licences for Saskatchewan residents.

Two new priority pools will improve the opportunity for long-term applicants to be drawn. A new top priority pool (‘Legacy’ pool) will enable long-term unsuccessful applicants who have applied for more than 10 years to be considered ahead of ‘Super A’ applicants, while a ‘D’ pool will extend the amount of time for hunters to get to ‘Super A’ pool.

Hunters should apply early and use the online residency verification tool to avoid complications. Several hunts have a high number of applicants compared to available licences. Therefore, the likelihood of any one application being drawn is very low, even for applications in the top priority pool.

The big game draw is administered through HAL, the ministry’s online hunting, angling and trapping licence

system. Through HAL, clients can submit, review and update their application, check pool status history and purchase a draw licence.

Clients who need help with their account or the draw application can contact 1-888-773-8450 from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., or a Ministry of Environment office.

Draw results will be available through HAL accounts by mid-June, with the exception of pronghorn antelope, which will be available in mid-July. All applicants are responsible for looking up their draw results through their HAL account. Successful applicants will be able to purchase appropriate licences through their HAL account beginning August 1, 2018.

Detailed information about big game draw season and quotas is available at www.saskatchewan.ca/hunting.

TRADING THOUGHTS

An open letter to tourists planning on visiting Moose Jaw this summer

Our city sincerely hopes you enjoy your stay in Moose Jaw and love your experiences at our attractions and events.

We, as a city, do feel we need to make some suggestions that will enhance your visitor experience.

Moose Jaw has become a city where you commonly can’t get there from here,

by Ron Walter if you know what we mean. This state of affairs is not presented to test your skills in navigation of street maze puzzles.

The reason you often can’t get there from here in Moose Jaw is simply a matter of natural development, or shall we say un-development. You see this city is well past the 100-year mark. Our infrastructure, that is our water lines, are old and decaying. The cast iron water lines are rotting.

Consequently we have to re-build the city’s underground one block at a time. Hopefully we will find more evidence during this underground construction of the Al Capone bootleg era and older civilizations.

Please feel free to visit our tunnels and experience the Asian connection and the Prohibition era. We need the revenues to re-build our city.

Some day later this Century when we are finished this will once again be a beautiful modern city if we still have enough residents to qualify for city status.

Oh, yes, have a look at our property market. Moose Jaw is a great place to retire. Where else do seniors face the challenge of an obstacle course just crossing Main Street?

We take pride in forcing our seniors to stay fit with these challenging streets.

Re-building takes a lot of money. Nobody put any money away for replacement of our water lines, let alone our sewer lines.

Our city has been known as the Friendly City and our residents are mostly of that nature. Please excuse anyone you meet who does not exude that friendly Moose Jaw attitude.

Putting up with continual street mazes — you can’t get there from here — does stress out our people. The pressure of continual increased and new taxes and utility rate boosts adds to the burden and stress.

It might be polite just to not engage local residents in conversations concerning road and street conditions, local taxes or utility rates.

If you are surprised at the condition of our community’s streets and roads you will understand why our community leaders re-branded our slogan a few years ago from the Friendly City to Surprisingly Unexpected.

The new slogan never really caught on with the locals but we understand visitors believe the new brand is quite realistic.

We have many first class tourist attractions — the hot mineral water spa, the tunnels, the murals, the transportation museum, downtown Crescent Park, the Wakamow park system, the trolley, the Sukanen Ship Museum and Pioneer Village to name some.

Just walking downtown to view our cool heritage buildings is a main attraction and it’s as free as the air you breathe. Please watch your step.

Crossing the troughs on Main Street can be challenging if you fail to lift your feet high enough. The rumour that these “troughs” are remnants of an early 20th Century irrigation system isn’t true, but they do hold a lot of water.

One more item — before you leave it would be prudent to have a local body shop check your vehicle for damage and the wheel alignment. We do have the most experienced and skilled body shop practitioners in Canada.

Need directions? Have questions? Feel free to drop in to our information bus on Fairford Street. Thank You.

Ministry of Agriculture Renews MOC with Fertilizer Canada

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2018 – 7 PM MAE WILSON THEATRE AT THE MOOSE JAW CULTURAL CENTRE Tickets at the MJCC Box Office and online at www.moosejawculture.ca For information call 306-693-4700.

The Government of Saskatchewan and Fertilizer Canada signed a three-year extension to their 2016 Memorandum of Co-operation (MOC) in support of 4R Nutrient Stewardship (Right Source @ Right Rate, Right Time, Right Place®).

4R Nutrient Stewardship is a world-leading, Canadian-made program that allows producers to grow more food using existing farmland and ensures the protection of the environment and has the capacity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fertilizer use by 15 to 25 per cent. Fertilizer retailers and farmers across Canada have adopted this framework to achieve efficiency while maintaining our soil, air and water.

“As one of Canada’s largest crop-producing provinces, creating opportunities for farmers to access sustainable agriculture practices is critical,” Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart said. “Many Saskatchewan farmers have adopted 4R practices in their nutrient management plans.

The continuation of this partnership will support more of our province’s 35 million acres of cropland to be environmentally-responsible by implementing the 4R framework.”

“Fertilizer is essential to sustainable crop production,” Fertilizer Canada President and CEO Garth Whyte said.

“Saskatchewan farmers who implement a 4R nutrient management plan can increase productivity, decrease losses to the environment and grow more food to feed Canadians and the world.”

During the pilot year of the MOC between the Ministry of Agriculture and Fertilizer Canada, 17 4R demonstration farms across the province showcased how the application of 4R Nutrient Stewardship can deliver growers with economic, environmental and social returns.

Over the next three years, the province and Fertilizer Canada will work to expand the 4R program to include access to training and education with a new Saskatchewan-focused 4R Nutrient Stewardship eLearning training course and a 4R Nutrient Management Specialty Certification for Certified Crop Advisors (CCAs). CCAs with the 4R Specialty Certification are able to advise farmers on best practices under the 4R Nutrient Stewardship framework, encouraging implementation across all managed acres.

Report from the Legislature

Lyle Stewart MLA Lumsden-Morse The Government of Saskatchewan Lyle Stewart has launched a constituMLA, tional referLumsden-Morse ence case in the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal to challenge the federal government’s ability to impose a carbon tax on the province.

The government is asking the Court of Appeal to answer a clear question on the constitutionality of the legislation that the federal government has introduced to impose the carbon tax.

The question is: The Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act was introduced into Parliament on March 28, 2018 as Part 5 of Bill C-74.

If enacted, will this Act be unconstitutional in whole or in part?

We do not believe the federal government has the constitutional right to impose the Trudeau carbon tax on Saskatchewan, against the wishes of the government and the people.

This federal tax fails to respect the sovereignty and autonomy of the provinces with respect to matters under their jurisdiction. Simply put, we do not believe the federal government has the right to impose a tax on one province but not others just because they don’t

like our climate change plan.

Under the constitution, each level of government is sovereign within its own legislative realm. Provincial governments have the authority to set policy in areas of provincial jurisdiction, and the federal government does not have the right to override that provincial authority.

The Government of Saskatchewan released Prairie Resilience: A Made-in-Saskatchewan Climate Change Strategy in December 2017.

The strategy includes: · the development of sector-specific output-based performance standards on large emitting facilities; · increasing efficiencies in buildings; · creating a freight strategy to improve delivery times, reducing fuel and increasing efficiency; and · developing a climate resiliency model to help ensure communities are able to adapt and mitigate against the effects of climate change.

Our made-in-Saskatchewan strategy is broader and bolder than a carbon tax.

Our plan includes reducing emissions from the electricity sector by 40 per cent and methane emissions from the oil and gas sector by 40 to 45 per cent by 2030.

Our Saskatchewan story also includes our agriculture industry that seques-

ters nearly 12 million tonnes of CO2 annually and carbon capture at Boundary Dam 3 that has prevented two million tonnes of carbon dioxide from entering our atmosphere. Saskatchewan is the solution, not the problem.

Our government will continue to stand up for Saskatchewan against the Trudeau government’s costly and ineffective carbon tax, while pursuing real emission reductions and protecting jobs in the province.

Our government will always stand up for Saskatchewan and that includes ensuring the Trans Mountain pipeline gets built.

Access to overseas markets is critical to getting the world price for Canadian crude oil and ending the significant discounting of Canadian crude oil.

The status quo cost Saskatchewan oil producers an estimated $2.6 billion and the province an estimated $210 million in taxes, royalties and other revenue last year.

Pipelines are acknowledged as the most efficient and the safest method of transporting large volumes of crude oil. We are confident that federally-approved and properly-regulated pipelines can be constructed and operated in a manner that protects both the environment and public health and safety.

The expansion of our national pipeline capacity is vital to the future of our energy sector and to thousands of Canadian jobs. It must not be obstructed, either by a lack of federal leadership or by a provincial government over-

Our government will always stand up for Saskatchewan and that includes ensuring the Trans Mountain pipeline gets built. stepping.

We find ourselves in gridlock today because, in the 18 months since the federal government approved the Trans Mountain pipeline, it has failed to ensure that construction could proceed.

Our government has introduced Bill 126, The Energy Export Act, which creates the legislative framework necessary to optimize the value of Saskatchewan’s oil, gas, and refined petroleum products by establishing a permitting process to export such products outside the province.

Similar in intent to legislation recently introduced by the Government of Alberta, Bill 126 is a last resort that will be used only if the Trans Mountain pipeline continues to be stalled by provincial obstruction and federal inaction, and if the Alberta government acts upon its legislation.

Oil doesn’t stop moving when pipelines are opposed – instead it moves on rail or by truck. Increasing pipeline access to tidewater would inject billions of dollars into Canada’s economy. Aspiring to greater energy independence is a priority for Saskatchewan and should always be a priority for the nation of Canada.

Mothers Day Handprint (and such) Apron

I’m blessed to have both of my girls’ grandmothers in town, so I had two opportunities to make Mothers Day gifts: a beaded bookmark for my bibliophile mother, and this cute garden apron for my greenthumbed mother-in-law!

I am not an artist, but this apron is so simple, even I could pull it off. I started with a craft apron from Michaels and painted the grass using two shades of acrylic green paint. Then it was time to paint my girls!

A graciously provided her tootsies to help make the butterfly...

Major Kevin Tipper was one of many in attendance at the May 1 honours and awards ceremony held at 15 Wing.

What he didn’t know was that before the program was over, he would be the recipient of the annual community service award presented by the 15 Wing Fellowship — the Lois Boyle Excellence in Community Service Award.

The award is presented in memory of the late Lois Boyle who served for many years as the administrative assistant to commanding officers of Canadian Forces Base Moose Jaw. Boyle was also known as the Mother of the Snowbirds for her work in co-ordinating and selecting a name for the air demonstration team and her mentoring of young pilots.

The award is presented to individuals who demonstrate the ability to strengthen the bond between 15 Wing and the community of Moose Jaw and demonstrate the ability to inspire and encourage community service in others.

Tipper was born in Campbell River, B.C., joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1989 and completed his basic officer training in Chilliwack, B.C. Following completion of his basic flying training, he was posted to 414 Sqaudron in Comox, B.C. In 2002 Tipper was posted to 2 CFFTS at 15 Wing Moose Jaw as an instructor pilot.

He released from the regular forces in 2007

Canadian Nursing Week is a great opportunity for us to recognize and celebrate all members of the nursing family who apply their skills to provide front line care!

Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Continuing Care Assistants (CCAs), provide hands on care, recognize patient needs, individual concerns, and work with the other skilled professionals to develop a plan to promote or maintain your health.

As patients, clients and residents, you recognize the incredible work that is done by our LPNs and CCAs when you are receiving care.

But each one of us needs to be aware that we have a responsibility to demand and expect better staffing levels in order to receive the care we require.

Without safe staffing levels, LPNs and CCAs are literally running to provide care.

The evidence shows us that the need for safe staffing levels is long overdue.

WCB information shows us that the largest group of injured workers are CCAs and LPNs. But those are the physical safety chal-

lenges that are easy to see and recognize.

The less visible mental health impacts of working every day in an unpredictable environment are more difficult to measure.

Not knowing if there will be enough staff on hand to complete the everyday routines, let alone a crisis situation, are issues that are dealt with by LPNs and CCAs every shift, every day, in every facility across the province.

If we can commit to safe staffing levels as a province, we will see these injuries decrease which will lead to more stable, safer care for clients, residents, and patients.

“Health systems” are bureaucracies; focused on the nuts and bolts of the operations, budgets and funding.

But health care works to see the whole patient, client or resident; to bring them relief; to improve health outcomes; to ease suffering.

Health care is practiced by front line experts, like LPNs and CCAs, who see the needs, provide the care, and can plan improvements for the whole system that will benefits patients, clients and residents.

Safety in the health care system isn’t just crucial…it is priceless.

This Canadian Nursing week, join SEIUWest members in calling for safe staffing levels across our health care system!

May 6 to 13, 2018 is National

Nursing Week

Brenda (CCA) quote: “Being a CCA (Continuing Care Assistant) in long term care takes a very special kind of person. We care about our residents and always want to do our very best to improve their quality of life. This becomes even more difficult when we do not have adequate staffing levels to meet their ongoing needs.”

Lisa (LPN) quote: As an LPN, I am a proud member of your surgical team - providing and assisting with all aspects of patient care in the operating room and advocating on behalf of patients when they are at their most vulnerable. I understand the value of having a strong health care team to meet patient needs and adequate staffing levels are key to the provision of safe care.

Thank you nurses for all you do!

Snowbirds home opener kicks off 2018 season

By Randy Palmer

Snowbirds takeoff.

Snowbirds team lead Denis Bandet runs through the post-show debrief after their home opener.

The Canadian Forces Snowbirds are off and flying for the new season.

The legendary aerial acrobatics team – also known as 431 Air Demonstration Squadron – held their Home Opener Show on Mar. 27 at 15 Wing, with the event drawing the usual large crowd of onlookers and well-wishers, many of whom were family and friends of the pilots and crew.

“It’s an exciting day because we get to put on a show for our family, it’s for 15 Wing and the families and for everyone who has helped us out all year,” said Snowbirds commanding officer Lt. Col. Michael French .

“We have five new pilots, including a new team lead, and we’ve been working hard from October until now to put this show on... they try and fly twice and sometimes three times a day during the winter months to get ready for this and this is our way of thanking 15 Wing as our hosts and our support.”

Earlier in the week, the team completed a month-long official training season at 19 Wing in Comox, B.C. with their annual Acceptance Show, where they performed for some of the highest ranking brass in the Canadian Forces with the aim of having the show approved for the season. Naturally, they passed with flying colours.

That brought them back to 15 Wing, where they took to the air in near perfect conditions.

“You can’t ask for better clear weather than what we had out there today, but in tradition with Saskatchewan thermal heating we had some bumps to deal with there but that’s part of our training that we have to deal with,” said

Team Lead Maj. Denis Bandet, pliot of Snowbird 1. “But it was fantastic, nice blue sky, it wasn’t cold and there wasn’t a lot of wind, so it was a perfect way to start off the season.”

As well as things went for the first official show, things are far from finished when it comes to the production – the team will continually work on various aspects in order to whittle their performance to perfection. Preparing for the season required between 120 to 130 flights – on top of the thousands upon thousands of hours in the cockpit through their careers -- and double that in debriefing and searching for improvement.

“We’ll put on a show and even after today we’ll go back and tear it apart and see where we can make it better,” Bandet said. “There’s always room to improve; we’re always aiming for that perfect show and that’s tough to get to but we keep going for it. That’s what keeps us motivated and wanting to get better.

Bandet comes in as the new team leader with plenty of experience: as Snowbird 6 from 2011 to 2013, he’s more than familiar with the rigours of the show.

“Coming back to be the team lead is a different perspective altogether,” he said. “To be responsible for this great team that we have all the way from the technicians to the Tutors, everyone just wants to be better and better.

“It’s a great honour to be wearing this suit and representing the Canadian Armed Forces, I’m humbled by it.”

The Snowbirds are scheduled to perform approximately 60 shows in over 35 locations all the way from B.C. to P.E.I. and in various locations in the United States.

Farmers expand wheat acres over pulse and canola production

By Ron Walter For Agri-Mart Express

AGRIMART

EXPRESS Faced with lower prices for specialty crops and lower returns from canola, Canadian farmers are opting to grow more wheat than last year.

Canadian farmers intend to plant almost 13 per cent more wheat this year than in 2017.

Spring wheat and durum seeding intentions increased in the March Statistics Canada planting intentions survey.

Farmers will seed 15.4 per cent more spring wheat for 18.2 million acres. In Saskatchewan spring wheat acres increase 15 per cent.

Durum acreage will increase 11 per cent to 5.8 million acres with Saskatchewan durum up 17 per cent to 4.8 million acres.

Winter wheat seeding will decline 10 per cent to 1.2

million acres.

The shift to wheat acres likely reflects lower cost of production and price outlook. The International Grains Council predicts world wheat production will decline by 4.5 per cent this year to 742 million tonnes with a possible world record wheat trade led

by African and Asian imports.

Canola acres will decline seven per cent to 21.4 million acres with Saskatchewan reducing four per cent to 6.6 million acres.

In other cereals, barley acreage will climb 5.8 per cent to 6.1 million with seeding in this province up four per cent.

Oats acreage declines by 1.6 per cent to 3.1 million acres with Saskatchewan dropping almost seven per cent to 1.5 million.

Across Canada lentil and dry pea acres will decline, most likely from India’s import tariffs that have un-

dermined prices.

Lentil acreage will fall 8.1 per cent to 4.1 million with dry field peas down 5.5 per cent to 3.9 million acres. Alberta farmers are cutting pea acres by 13 per cent.

Soybean acres are down across the country by 11.4 per cent from a record high 7.3 million acres in 2017. Manitoba farmers cut acres 14 per cent to two million. Saskatchewan acres are down 14 per cent to just under two million acres.

Grain corn acres will increase 5.1 per cent in Canada to 3.8 million acres. Manitoba farmers will plant 11 per cent more corn for a record 455,000 acres.

Saskatchewan data was not provided for corn or lentils.

Check in on your own Mental Health Your sense of self Last week was Mental Health Week. Thought you maybe would like to check-in on your own mental health.

There are many schools of thought on mental health.

The Canadian Mental Health Association has delved into everything from western psychology to Indigenous knowledge, and here is what they found: when looking at various descriptions of mental health, the overlaps are striking.

The finding is, while feeling well means different things to different people, some things might actually apply to everyone: in order to thrive, we all need a good sense of self, and we all need purpose, contribution, hope, resilience and belonging.

That knowledge has been condensed into an informal list that you can use to check your own mental health. (You can find the sources consulted below). It’s not a scientific tool, or a way to diagnose yourself. It’s just one way to check in with yourself about your mental health, and maybe guide you on how to support and improve it.

Read each statement and consider whether you “Agree� or “Disagree� with it.

I feel confident about my own opinions, even if they’re different from what other people think or believe.

I think people respect me, but I can disagree with others and still feel ok about myself.

I feel that I am the expert on my own life.

I consider myself to be a good person.

I deserve to feel well.

Your purpose and sense of meaning I feel like I’m reaching my potential.

I feel I am growing as a person.

I challenge myself and my thoughts about the world I have a sense of purpose and meaning in my life.

It is a better world with me in it.

I am good at things that matter to me.

I get something out of the things I do.

Belonging

I get along with others, and I feel good about my personal relationships and social interactions.

I feel like I am part of something bigger than myself.

I feel like I belong.

I have people in my life to support me.

The Canadian Fallen Heroes Foundation Works With Jake’s Gift to Honour Those From Moosejaw Who Sacrificed All

Marc Mero holds up his ‘book of dreams’ that he wrote in as a child There was a time when Marc Mero was one of the most famous professional wrestlers on the planet, a WCW World Television champion and WWE Intercontinental champion who wrestled all over the world. He was one of the top mid-card draws in both organizations at various points of his career.

And that is why his message of reaching those highest of highs and then falling to the lowest of lows, all because of his own choices, has resonated with so many people over the years.

The Ned Andreoni gym at Vanier Collegiate was Mero’s latest stop on his inspirational Be Against Destructive Decisions tour – a riff on his character’s name Johnny B. Badd when he wrestled in World Championship Wrestling in the early 90s – and gave the charismatic showman another chance to reach a host of young students with his story.

“There’s no greater joy than helping another person and I’ve found that passion in my life; they say when you find your passion you never have to work, so I guess I’ve been unemployed the last 11 years,” Mero said with a laugh shortly after his hourlong show that touched on everything from addiction to bullying to making the right choices in life and respecting the people you love.

Mero’s presentation largely focussed around the relationship he had with his mother and much younger sister and brother. His treatment of them as he spiraled into “the wrong group

of friends” and alcohol and drug addiction in in his teens was a common thread, with the death of each sibling and his parents leaving indelible marks on his life and past actions.

He also spoke how his pro wrestling career – six years in WCW and three in the WWE at the height of the Monday Night Wars – brought him everything he could want, including all his wishes he wrote in a little brown journal he kept as a child.

A boat. A Cadillac. A house. Buying his mom a house.

But addiction to painkillers to treat his stunning array of wrestling injuries – he’s had 16 surgeries and has a heart condition that is currently in remission, much of which he attributes to rampant steroid use – eventually led to much of that fortune falling away.

His stories riveted the packed gymnasium, something that happens more often than not when Mero speaks.

Based on the ongoing response from his 300-plus shows a year all over North America, Mero’s message is getting through. That includes his heartfelt request that anyone feeling the pressure of bullying or depression and maybe even thinking about suicide not be afraid to find help and talk about their problems.

For more information on Mero and his organization, check out his website at thinkpoz.org.

Saskatchewan has a long history of military service and sacrifice. Among those who enlisted, many soldiers never returned, often buried overseas, at or near the place of their final battle.

Lost was the opportunity to have children, grandchildren, and to live a full life. Nearly every community in the province lost a son or daughter in service.

C.G. Gavan

D.S. McDonald

R.G. Askew

Of the over 10,000 names on the provincial honour roll, over 600 fallen soldiers called Moose Jaw home prior to enlistment. Their names can be found IN MEMORIAM at www.canadianfallenheroes. com, where biographies are now being written to shed light on our soldiers’ pre-enlistment lives.

We are grateful for the opportunity to preserve their memory and honour the parents and families left mourning a future that might have been. The biographies will be preserved here in the medium preferred by the youth of today, to be utilized by schools and educators as part of Remembrance Day curriculum.

Metal art Memorials measuring 12 x 18 inches are also being unveiled at the Mae Wilson Theatre May 12th following the matinee and evening performances of Jake’s Gift. They will represent Moose Jaw at the newly renovated Saskatchewan Aviation Museum in Saskatoon, joining the nearly 200 memorials to be housed at this beautiful 25,000 square foot facility.

Adjacent to the Saskatoon International Airport, the museum is open to the public and offers educational tours to Saskatchewan youth groups and schools. [Registered Charity No.86563 9447 RR0001]

You’d Better Write This Down

by Dr. Steven Heidinger, Moose Jaw Chiropractor If you understand anything about goal-setting, personal development and success, you know the importance of writing down your goals. I once had a business coach tell me (actually he yelled at me), “If your goals ain’t written down, they ain’t real !!”

While it is important to write down your goals, are you making a point of documenting your successes, as well?

I recently got my son into going to the gym with me. He’s been wanting to add more muscle to his lean frame. While he’s only been at it for a month, I am definitely seeing gains in him, however he some-

what disagrees with me. We’ve already had the conversation of “slow and steady wins the race”.

I’ve told my son he should be writing down the weight he is lifting with each exercise. There are too many exercises to memorize what weight he lifts with each one, but from my perspective, he is already lifting heavier than what he first lifted. I also suggested that he take measurements regularly from his chest arms and legs.

According to Pearson’s Law, “When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported back, the rate of improvement accelerates.”

As a chiropractor, an important aspect in patient management is the re-evaluation process. At pre-scheduled times, a patient is reassessed, and a report of findings is given back to the patient. Improvement, successes (and even failures) should be measured, and compared to previous examinations, and then reported back to the patient.

It is especially important that the patient be made aware of progress along the way. Just like someone who exercises, unless you measure along the way and document it, your successes and gains may be missed. Motivation is fed with seeing successes from your efforts.

Our kids grow up so fast that we don’t necessarily see the changes from month to month. We live with them every day so sometimes we are surprised when others notice changes in our kids before we do. I wouldn’t know how fast my kids were growing, if it wasn’t for that wall in our basement that we’ve measured them against and permanently marked on a regular basis.

Whatever you’re working on, measure your progress and document it regularly. Recently diagnosed with pre-diabetes? Write those blood sugars down and you’ll be better to relate what it is you may be doing to see better numbers.

If you don’t write it down, it ain’t real!!

Sask. farmland value increase led 10 provinces last year

by Ron Walter

Average land price per region northwest $1,891/ acre northeast $1,728 west central $1,925 east central $1321 southwest $1,755 southeast $1,710 Source: Farm Credit Canada The Saskatchewan farmland market is the hottest in Canada.

This province led the country with the largest increase of farmland value last year, according to the annual Farm Credit Canada farmland values report.

The leading provincial increase of 10.2 per cent compared with 8.4 per cent across the nation. In 2016, Saskatchewan prices were up 7.5 per cent Land in neighbouring Alberta was up 7.3 per cent in 2017 with Manitoba up five per cent.

Farmland price values and increases varied considerably by region within the province.

Land in the southwest region which includes Moose Jaw increased 14.2 per cent, trading in a range of $700 an acre to $2,600 an acre.

The FCC report said the southwest, west central and northwest increases were the largest in any of the 51 regional markets. The increases reflected competitive demand by producers wanting to expand with limited supply for sale.

The majority of southwest land sales occurred in the first half of the year so dry weather and moisture condition weren’t a big factor. Interest rate increases in September and fear of dry conditions slowed price growth in the fall.

FCC economist J.P. Gervais expects the rate of increase to cool this year with higher interest rates and commodity price volatility.

West Central Saskatchewan, Saskatoon east to Alberta and south along the South Saskatchewan Riv-

er, led with a 16.6 per cent increase.

Price range in that region was $800 to $2,700 an acre.

The Northwest region, North Battleford to Meadow Lake, increased 14.9 per cent with a range of $600 to $2,900 an acre.

Northeastern Saskatchewan, north of Highway 16, was up a mere 1.5 per cent within a range of $700 to $2,300.

The East Central region, between Highways Six south, 16, and the Trans-Canada Highway, was up only 2.2 per cent in a range of $800 to $2,200.

The Southeastern region, which includes Regina and the area east and south of the Trans-Canada Highway, was up 11.2 per cent with a range of$800 to $3,200 an acre.

In 2008 Saskatchewan farmland value averaged $453 an acre, according to Statistics Canada. Annual increases since then put the new average price at $1,385 an acre.

Alberta farmland ranged from $1,000 an acre to $5,000 an acre with $7,000 to $10,000 an acre for

irrigated land.

Manitoba farmland ran from $800 an acre to $5,000 an acre for some in the region south of Winnipeg.

Prince Edward Island, leading the nation last year with a 13.4 per cent increase was just up by five per cent.

Strong demand in Ontario and Quebec drove prices up 9.4 per cent and 8.4 per cent while Nova Scotia prices were up 9.5 per cent.

New Brunswick farmland was priced nearly six per cent higher.

In British Columbia, prices increased 2.7 per cent — one-third the previous year’s rate. Land prices in lotus land ranged from $600 to $2,900 an acre in the Peace River region to $8,800 to $166,000 an acre in Okanagan wine country.

The FCC value report nearly does an Olympic average, dropping the top five per cent and bottom five per cent of sales from the calculation.

News Release: For Immediate Release

Ends May 31st 2018

The Moose Jaw Warriors focus on the future and most specifically this past season’s record-setting campaign didn’t come without a cost, with the 2018 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft offering the first look at that price.

The Warriors had only two picks in the first four rounds as general manager Alan Millar selected nine players – five forwards, three defenceman and one goaltender, including four from Saskatchewan two from Mani- Winnipeg’s Eric Alarie was the Warriors’ first toba, two from Alberta and one from round, 22nd overall pick in the 2018 Western the U.S. Hockey League Bantam Draft.

Leading the way was forward Eric Alrie from Winnipeg’s Rink Hockey Academy who the Tribe selected with their first round pick, 22nd overall. The 6-foot-0, 187 lb left winger had 28 goals and 55 points in 30 games to lead the RHA Nationals in scoring last season.

The Warriors didn’t pick again until the fourth round, 79th overall where they selected forward Josh Hoekstra from Edmonton. The 6-foot-0, 163-pound left winger suited up for OHA Edmonton last season and had eight goals and 26 points in 30 games.

In the fifth round the Warriors called Corson Ceulemans of Beaumont, Alta. with the 100th overall pick. A 6-foot-0, 182 pound right defenceman, Ceulemans also played for OHA Edmonton last season and scored eight goals with 31 points last season.

The sixth round was busy for the Tribe as they selected three players – with Winnipeg’s Lucas Brenton (LD), 6-foot-3, 160 lbs (Winnipeg Sharks, 32 games played, nine goals, 15 assists, 24 points) and Regina’s Sam Boldt (RD) five-foot-11, 147 lbs (Regina Monarchs, 28-6-23-29) picked 111th and 123rd overall.

Their next sixth-round pick was the biggest from a local perspective, as the Warriors chose Moose Jaw’s Kirk Mullen with the 132nd overall choice. Mullen, 6’0, 145lbs, played last season with the Prairie Hockey Academy in Caronport and was the first player from the school to be selected in the WHL Bantam Draft.

Capping the draft, Warriors selected Saskatoon’s Brett Mirwald (G), 5-foot-10, 155 lbs (14-3 record, 2.46 goals against average) in the seventh round, 154th overall; Warman’s Keenan Allan (LC), 5-foot-8, 154 lbs (Rink Hockey Academy, 30-12-17-29) in the eighth round, 172nd overall; and Eden Prairie, Minn.’s Trey Fechko (25-8-6-14) in the ninth round, 198th overall.

The Warriors also announced a trade during the Draft, with the Warriors acquiring Nick Bowan and one of their three 2018 sixth-round picks from the Edmonton Oil Kings in exchange for Vince Loschiavo.

The 2000-born forward from Sherwood Park, Alta. had six goals and 12 points in 56 games last season with the Oil Kings.

Clague claims WHL top defenceman, Halbgewachs runner up for MVP, Express receives top scorer trophy Staff The Moose Jaw Warriors were well represented at the Western Hockey League awards ceremony on May 2, with a trio of players and staff from the team nominated for awards and three walking away with league-best honours.

Warriors forward Jayden Halbgewachs capped off his four years in a Tribe uniform in style, picking up the Bob Clarke Trophy as the Western Hockey League’s top scorer for the 2017-18 season.

The 21-year-old product of Emerald Park, Sask., scored an astounding 70 goals and 129 points to also lead the entire Canadian Hockey League in scoring. His 70 goals serve as the first time a WHL player has reached the 70goal plateau since Pavel Brendl achieved the feat by scoring 73 goals with the Calgary Hitmen during the 1998-99 campaign.

The incredible season earned the former free agent a three-year, entry-level contract with the NHL’s San Jose Sharks.

Halbgewachs was also the Eastern Conference nominee for the Four Broncos Memorial Trophy as the WHL player of the year, but was runner up to Everett Silvertips and Team Canada standout goaltender Carter Hart.

When the Moose Jaw Warriors traded for Kale Clague at the WHL trade deadline in January, they knew they were getting one of the league’s best rearguards from the Brandon Wheat Kings.

The WHL Awards ceremony made it official as Clague, 19, won the Bill Hunter Memorial Trophy as WHL defenceman of the year.

In his fourth full season, Clague came to the Warriors after racking up 10 goals and 47 points in only 28 games with the Wheat Kings. In 54 regular season appearances, the product of Lloydminster, Alta., posted a career-high 71 points (11G-60A), good enough to finish in a tie for third in scoring among all WHL defencemen. Selected by the Los Angeles Kings in the second round (51st overall) of the 2016 NHL Draft, Clague helped Canada to a gold medal at the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship in Buffalo, N.Y. Clague was originally selected by the Wheat Kings in the first round (sixth overall) of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. In 195 career WHL games, Clague

More players, great season ahead for Moose Jaw Little League Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Season just started and First Hole-in-One at Lynbrook Golf Club At approx. 10:00 AM April 29th, 2018 on day two of the Lynbrook Golf Club being officially open tee to green, on Hole 5 that measures 159 yards, Rick SMITH using an 8 iron recorded the first hole in one of the year at the Lynbrook. Playing with Rick at the time was Tim Arnott, Dave Tillie and Hal Valentine.

Rick, a long time member of the Lynbrook, purchased his membership a few days ago and when asked about hole-in-one insurance said “What are my chances and all these years”. Answer is apparently GOOD. Refreshment for those available is on Rick with “No Insurance”.

2nd Hole-in-One of the day at Lynbrook Golf Club The second Hole-in-One of the day, May 4th was recorded by Cam Thiele, on hole #5 , that was measuring today at 140 yards. Cam was using a #7 iron for the miracle shot. This was Cams first hole-in-one in his golfing career. Witnesses to the shot where Garry Dick, Brad Dick and Carl Graham. Those familiar with Hole #5 the ball flew the valley, rolled past the hole and up a small incline and started to roll backward towards the hole. The ball stopped momentarily and then dropped into the hole. Great shot just like on TV.

ALBATROSS at Lynbrook Golf Club May 4th The rarest of birds has reappeared again at the Lynbrook Golf Club on Hole # 8 . ED Bekar got a Hole-in-one from the 220 yard forward or Senior tees , using a Driver to register his ALBATROSS. Playing partners at the time of the Hole-in-One was Bob Turnbull , John Turnbull and Alex Cameron while playing in the CPR League. The green is not visible from the tee box and it took some searching to locate Ed’s ball that was found in the hole. It should also be noted that Mr. Bekar is 77 years young and this was the second Hole-in- One over his 50 year golfing experience. Technically, according to the Golf Canada Handicap Manua,l a Par 4 needs to be a minimum of 251 yards long for men, but when you are aged 77 it should still be an ALBATROSS.

Already 4th Hole-in-One at Lynbrook Golf Club this season

Once again, for the 4th time so far this year into a season, that is just one week the Lynbrook Golf Club is reporting an other Hole-in-One. This Hole-in-One that is just as important as the other Hole-in-Ones especially to the person getting the Hole-inOne. Todays Hole-in-One was registered by Shirley Petrovicz who was playing as a twosome with her husband, Marshall. Shirley teed off on the 5th hole , that measures 118 yards from the forward tee’s with her driver. Upon seeing the ball go into the hole a certain amount of yelling happened in delight, and the people teeing off Hole # 6, checked the hole #5 and found Shirleys golf ball at the bottom of the hole. Witnesses to this event as well as Shirley husband where Mitch Czarnecki, Brian Mohninger and Ben Azouzi. Shirley did have insurance and several others joined in the party later.

If you want to watch some local baseball this spring, pick a weekday, any weekday and head down to any little league baseball diamond in Moose Jaw. Someone will be playing. Tournaments more your thing?

Pick a weekend, any weekend and head down to Bell Park. You can bet there will be plenty of action and plenty of games to take in.

And if you’re up for a little volunteering, why not?

That’s where Moose Jaw Little League baseball stands heading into the coming campaign – the opening day slate of games is this Saturday, May 12 – with more than 410 players signed on for the season across their six age classes.

Most impressive, for new Little League Moose Jaw president Gord Bruce, is the number of players taking the field in the two youngest age categories, with 60 in Learn-to-Play (four and five year olds) and 140 in Rookie (six to eight), comprising almost half their total enrolment.

“So it’s really encouraging to see all the young kids coming out and that’s just going to filter up into the older baseball levels as they age up,” Bruce said. “It’s going to be interesting to see for sure.”

Bruce attributes part of the increased interest to a change in the fee structure for the entirety of the MJLL – where fees started at $75 for the youngest classes and rose to $280 for the Senior division, the decision was made to level it out to $150 across the board.

“We kind of found a middle road and it works out pretty close to touch football or lacrosse,” Bruce said. “That seems to have helped and as long as it’s kids getting out and getting some fresh air, we’re happy.”

Along with the increase in player numbers has come another surprising positive number: the total of umpires the league has do draw upon.

“We’ve actually have a bit of a spike in

interest in umpires, and it’s been kind of known over the last couple years that we were having trouble finding and keeping umpires,” Bruce said. “So it’s great to see some new people come and help out and even get a little bit of cash in their pocket for the summer.”

League action begins May 12 and continues throughout the May and June, with leagues playing three nights a week at diamonds throughout the city.

The house league tournament dates have also been set, with the Senior, Rookie and Minor divisions May 25-27, Major and Junior June 2-3 and Minor, Major, Senior Rookie playoffs beginning on June 16.

And once the final pitch of the regular season is thrown, things aren’t done yet.

That’s when the All-Star campaign begins, and Moose Jaw will be well represented on that front with AAA and AA teams in the Minor and Major divisions along with a Junior AAA team.

Based on turnout and the calibre of players from previous seasons, it’s possible that all three AAA squads could be in for banner years.

“That’s what we’re hoping for, anyway,” Bruce said. “There were a lot of kids who came and tried out for those teams and a lot of kids who moved up that are pretty good, so we’re hoping we’ll give the Alberta teams a pretty good run this year.”

Local players off to badminton provincials Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

There was plenty of success for players from Moose Jaw and area at the high school senior badminton regional championships this past weekend.

A total of four players booked their spots in the SHSAA provincial tournament in Wilkie and will be going for gold during the May 12 weekend.

Leading the way was reigning girls singles city champion Rung Thai of Moose Jaw Cornerstone, who posted a 5-0 record on her way to earning the top seed out of the South Central region. Thai didn’t miss a beat, either, winning all five of her matches through the round robin 2-0 and avenging a loss to Caronport’s Melissa Ellis in regionals a week earlier.

As turns out, that would be Ellis’ only hiccup – the loss came in the first match of the day for both players and would be Ellis’ only defeat as she swept the rest of her matches to finish 5-1 and earn the second provincial berth.

The Central boys doubles team of Liam Kerr and Carter Voth will also be off to Wilkie after posting a 4-1 record in their round robin and finishing second to Leader’s Carson Leach and Jordan Mastel. As a matter of fact, the two teams played each other in their final round robin con-

test, both holding 4-0 records and having already earned berths. Leach and Mastel went on to a 2-0 win to claim the top regional spot.

Gravelbourg’s Chloe Pourteaux and Ryan Kleckner put together a 4-1 record to finish second in mixed doubles and earn a provincial berth. Central’s Ashlyn and Brendan Jesse didn’t have much luck in their draw, going 0-5.

In girls doubles, Peacock’s Allison Billy and Chantal Usher finished third at 3-2 while Central Butte’s Nicole Peterson and Desrae Miller were 0-5.

Boys singles saw Assiniboia’s Johnathon Harden post a 2-3 record and finish third.

Rockglen’s Landen Woronek was 1-3 with one match unrecorded.

FastballRandy season set to kick-off Palmer Moose Jaw Express They say everything goes in cycles when it comes to sports registration, and based on their numbers for the coming season, things are definitely looking up for Moose Jaw Minor Girls Fastball.

With things kicking off during their annual opening day ceremonies at Optimist Park this past Monday, more than 380 players took to the diamonds across six age divisions, making for plenty of busy nights at minor fastball diamonds throughout the city for the season.

“It was really strong,” said MJMGF president Craig Hemingway of registration for 2018. “For just local kids registering we had 307, which is up 33 from last year, and when we factor in all the out-of-town teams that have teams in our leagues in various divisions, we’ll have around 380 girls playing ball in Moose Jaw. “We’re really excited to get the season going, we were pushed back a week by the weather like most folks were with outdoor sports, but we’re looking forward to kicking off on Monday night.”

While the vast majority of league games will take place on the four diamonds at Optimist Park, work is near completion on two more facilities – workers and volunteers have been hard at work restoring the old diamonds at Western Development Museum.

“We’ve had a lot of help from a lot of different sponsors in the city who have donated both money and materials to help that happen,” Hemingway said. “Right this second they aren’t quite ready, but by the time the first game is scheduled there for May 14, they’ll be set to go.”

Given the amount of work needed to get the fields up to playing shape, the retrofit has been extensive: new dugouts, new wiring and most importantly, plenty of time in the outfield dealing with the always problematic gopher holes.

“Those diamonds have been used for practice over the years, but you could never hold a proper practice without having the outfield,” Hemingway said. In addition to expanding the number of fields for house league play, the new diamonds will also enable MJMGF to host larger tournaments in coming years.

As for this season, the leagues will host five tournaments -- Pee Wee ‘A’ girls May 2527, Mites girls June 2-3, Bantam ‘B’ girls June 8-10, Squirt ‘B’ girls and Midget ‘B’ girls June 15, The Moose Jaw Ice representative teams have also been chosen for the coming campaign, with the Squirt ‘A’ Ice coached by Jody Brown, Pee Wee ‘A’ Ice led by Don Anderson, Pee Wee ‘B’ coached by Shawn Kohl, Vicki Halverson leading the Bantam ‘A’ Ice and Grant Mackie coaching the Midget ‘B’ Ice. Seeing so many teams opting to return to ‘A’ calibre ball this season shows just how competitive the local squad are becoming.

“There are a lot of good players in town and it’s great to see that kind of development,” Hemingway said. “Hopefully they all have a lot of success this season.”

Mallards off to perfect start

email: editor@mjvexpress.com

Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

You won’t find a much better start to the season than what the Moose Jaw Mallards put together in the first two games of their Baseball Regina ‘AA’ Bantam league campaign last week.

The defending provincial champions opened the season with a 15-5 win over the Regina White Sox in their home opener on May 3 and followed up the next night with three pitchers combining to toss a no-hitter in an 8-0 win over the Regina Blue Jays.

A total of 24 runs and a clean sheet with only two games under their belts. You could say things are looking plenty positive as the local squad shoots for their third-straight Baseball Saskatchewan title.

“There are a certain number of fundamentals to baseball and we’re trying to nail those fundamentals down, but it’s definitely looking good right now,” said Mallards head coach Curtis O’Reilly. “I think of it as a three-legged stool: pitching, hitting and defence, and there are a whole bunch of different aspects to those, but if you have two of the three you’ll be sitting pretty good, but if you’re decent at all three you’ll be tough to beat. So that’s what we’re working on.”

Evan Callaghan got the start for Moose Jaw against the Blue Jays and tossed three scoreless innings while striking out eight before giving way to Kyle Duncan for an inning and Nick Daly, who carried the no-hitter the rest of the way – much to O’Reilly’s pleasant post-game surprise.

“I honestly didn’t realize it,” he said with a laugh. “There’s no scoreboard, you’re trying to manage and keep the kids going and keep the kids focussed. We only knew when (scoring app) GameChanger told us, I saw the summary and there it was.”

The contest was close until the late innings, as the Mallards didn’t score their first run until the fourth inning and nursed a 2-0 lead through five. The bats woke up in style from there, though, finally picking up where they left off the previous night,.

el to Regina to take on the Pacers on May 9.

“We have a great group of kids, they’re all very good ball players for sure, with great personalities. They’re team first and there to work hard and have fun,” O’Reilly said.

“They have positive attitudes and work hard and it’s such a pleasure to be able to work with guys like that.”

Mallards hitter Nate Varjessy got just enough on this pitch to flare a Texas leaguer down the right field line.

“I don’t want to say I was expecting that kind of production, but I knew we had some heavy hitters on the team, some big strong kids who have a lot of bat speed and can square up a ball hard,” O’Reilly said. “You’re worried about rates of contact against live pitching versus batting practice, and you don’t know until you go live in the season. But to my pleasant surprise, they’re really squaring it up and hitting it hard. They’re getting balls out to people and even through them because they’re hitting them so hard.

“And the big thing is if one kid isn’t hitting that game, their teammate behind him picks him up. It’s fantastic.”

While it’s only two games into the campaign, the Mallards will be hoping for more of the same when they trav-

by Sasha-Gay Lobban

Volunteers have been busy preparing the Sukanen Pioneer Village and Museum for opening day.

Everything, from manicuring grass to dusting artifacts to vacuuming the 45 buildings to fixing the boardwalk, has been on the job board for the season opening day Wednesday, May 9.

One new attraction later this year will be the replica of an International Harvester Company farm machinery dealership.

Members of Chapter 38 of the IHC

Collectors will build and set up the dealership this season.

The museum is open seven days a week until after the threshing bee on the second weekend of September.

Hours from Monday to Saturday are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with Sunday’s hours from noon to 6 p.m.

First event of the season is the Spring Fling Show and Shine June 3.

May 6-12 is “Emergency Preparedness Week” in Moose Jaw

(L-R) is Kate Goudie, Assistant Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) Coordinator from the Moose Jaw Fire Department, Moose Jaw Mayor Fraser Tolmie and Deputy Fire Chief/EMO Coordinator Mike Russell – Mayor Tolmie signed the proclamation declaring Emergency Preparedness Week.

The City of Moose Jaw has proclaimed May 6-12 “Emergency Preparedness Week”.

Coinciding with national initiatives, the theme of Emergency Preparedness Week is “Be Emergency Ready”.

“It’s important that if an emergency situation arrives there is a plan in place so you and your family can be selfsufficient for 72 hours,” explained Moose Jaw Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief Mike Russell, who is also the local

Emergency Measures Organization (EMO) Coordinator. “That means having a plan that covers everything from evacuation, food and water, a first aid kit, where to meet your family and even what to do with your pets,” he continued.

The most recent Saskatchewan budget brought forth earlier this month by the Sask. Party might not have featured the kind of harsh measures and tough cuts seen in 2017-18, but that’s not to say the 2018-19 version is any more palatable for the official opposition NDP. Finance critic Cathy Sproule, NDP MLA for Saskatoon Nutana, was in Moose Jaw to explain her party’s position on the newest financial reckoning for the coming year with an open forum at the Moose Jaw Public Library. Around 20 people took part in the event, hearing Sproule’s concerns and offering some of their own.

All-in-all, even with the ‘status quo’ plan that sees substantial capital plan spending, the additional $2.3 billion in debt is just another bridge too far by Sproule’s assessment. “We don’t see a real plan for getting us out of debt, this is kind of knee-jerk short-term approach to finance,� she said shortly after her presentation touched several areas of general concern for the NDP, from surcharges on crown corporation bills to funding for education. “Bills are going up, food costs are going up and salaries aren’t,� said Sproule. “Then Saskatchewan’s mortgage arrears are three times the national average, and that really shows how people are struggling in this province.�

Getting that kind of message out is the focus of what will be a series of similar events and presentations throughout the province in coming months.

With recent polls showing the gap closing between the two main political parties in the province, Sproule and her fellow caucus members believe that one aspect of their message could especially resonate with voters – Scott Moe isn’t Brad Wall, but he’s more of the same. “We find that Brad Wall carried a lot of trust with the people of Saskatchewan, and I think that trust is still somewhat there for the Sask. Party,� she said. “But once the curtains are pulled back and they see that Scott Moe is a lot of the same – he sat in cabinet for last year’s budget and has been part of cabinet for many years – and that there isn’t any change, people are going to figure it

out.�

The NDP’s ultimate goal is have their message heard and taken to heart, leading to a victory in the coming provincial campaign. That will undoubtedly mean stepping into the same resource-sector-poor shoes the Sask. Party are currently wearing, and dealing with plenty of difficult decisions. “We’ve been there, there’s always been time when a confederation of people try these so-called conservative governments that have put the province in debt and then the NDP has to bail it out again,� Spoule said. “Our record has always been fiscal responsibility and yet looking for programs to help people at the same time. It’s not easy, but I think the NDP has the path. When you’re in debt difficult decisions have to be made and I think that’s what people will understand.�

Margaret Elizabeth Knutson It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, Margaret Elizabeth Knutson, who passed away peacefully on May 4, 2018 at the age of 94 years. Left to celebrate her memory are her five children, Don (Rae) Knutson of Medicine Hat, Randy (Karen) Knutson of Oak Bluff, Manitoba, Barry (Laurie) Knutson of Sherwood Park, Alberta, Cheryl (Grant) Kitts of Briercrest, Saskatchewan, and Karen (Jacques) Poirier of Montreal, Quebec; eleven grandchildren; twelve great grandchildren; her brother, Pat (Golda) Lounsbury and her sister, Hilda Cooper of Ontario.

Margaret was a long time resident of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Mom loved her home there and took great pride in making her yard one of the nicest in the neighbourhood.

Her special time was in the morning sitting on her lawn swing looking out onto her back yard while enjoying the sun and music. She made her home welcoming to all and had a way of making everyone feel special. Mom loved music and dancing and belonged to the square and round dancing clubs as well as clogging. She was an avid sports fan; Blue Jays and Riders were her teams. Mom also loved to crochet and knit making beautiful heirlooms. The last few years were spent in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Mom made many friends at the AgeCare Valleyview and loved her life there, especially the weekly baking and ice cream socials. She had a positive effect on everyone that she had contact with. She had a kind and welcoming heart that made you feel good when she was around.

Choose from our extensive design library or customize with one of your own pictures for that personal touch.

Faith was a very important part of her life including the fellowship at the Hillcrest church. We want to thank the AgeCare Valleyview staff and residents for making Mom’s final three years some of the happiest in her life. We would also like to thank 4W at the hospital and St. Joseph’s for their professionalism, caring and understanding of the dignity of life they showed during this difficult time. Mom will be silently remembered without the proceedings of a formal funeral service. As an expression of sympathy donations may be made to the charity of your choice.

Tourism campaign in this province shifting away from television

By Ron Walter For Moose Jaw Express

Tourism Saskatchewan’s five-year awareness campaign to change the visitor image of this province has been successful.

Jonathan Potts of the agency says the branding campaign in Alberta and Manitoba has changed attitudes.

Five years ago, people in these provinces thought of Saskatchewan as flat and boring, he told the 49x100 conference in Swift Current.

Now they describe this province with the words good, peace, relax and happy.

“Our brand is reputation. It’s not what we tell people that we see. It’s what people tell us we are. It’s not something you can create.”

The land and the sky and the experiences from them and the people here make up the brand.

The brand “is also what they say they don’t like about us” with the industry accentuating the likes and addressing the negatives.

Potts said the industry’s advertising methods are rapidly changing.

“In 2001 we got 55,000 to 65,000 requests for our printed guide. Last year we had 2,500 requests for print.”

The 400-page guide has been discontinued in favour of a smaller more general guide. The agency is getting more and more requests from potential visitors for personalized itineraries of attractions and events.

“People do not use our guide like they used to.”

However, he said printed regional or attraction guides are most relevant. “People will go out of their way to pick them up. A lot of content in them is more relevant than what we were producing.”

Tourism Saskatchewan’s advertising has shifted to consumer focus, digital first, always in and influence driven by figuring out what people are looking for, using online

Loyal Messengers

media, and using blogger or video content from online persons with a following that can be influenced.

Online content has to be great to grab the viewer’s attention span of three or four seconds. Use is made of photos, videos and stories from people like Saskatchewan photographer Ryan Wunsch, whose spectacular photos tells a story.

Potts said the online focus is caused by shifts in viewer habits from cable TV to a fragmented audience.

Last year’s 12 per cent of people seeing the video campaign saw it on television while 23 per cent saw it only online.

Tourism Saskatchewan’s social media following across the world is over one million.

Central Lutheran Welcomes St. Barnabas Scott Hellings for Moose Jaw Express

Fr. Glenn Galenkamp (left) of St. Barnabas and Pastor Bill Cantelon of Central Lutheran.

Parishioners at St. Barnabas Parish have entered into a unique agreement with their counterparts at Central Lutheran Church. St. Barnabas will now worship at Central Lutheran, with both congregations sharing the space.

To accommodate this new agreement, St. Barnabas has adjusted their service times from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Central Lutheran has changed their service from 10:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. Both congregations voted on this arrangement at the respective annual general meetings.

The inaugural service was held March 18, and already the agreement is proving fruitful.

“As far as I can tell, this is a first for the City of Moose Jaw, in that there are two different denominations holding Sunday morning services in the same building at different times,” said Father Glenn Galenkamp, rector of St. Barnabas. “St. Barnabas has been very warmly welcomed by the congregation of Central Lutheran and we look forward to participating in each other’s social events during the year. Even before the move, parishioners of St. Barnabas were invited to Central Lutheran’s Shrove Tuesday pancake dinner. A great time was had by all and it was a wonderful ice breaker for the churches…

We have had a great experience being welcomed at Central Lutheran and are looking forward to ministering to the people of Moose Jaw and the surrounding area in our respective ways.”

Both churches have been a part of Moose Jaw for many

On the Front Porch

years.

St. Barnabas began on the east side of Moose Jaw in 1913.

After the amalgamation of the city’s Anglican churches, the old St. Barnabas building was closed. A group of parishioners still desired a traditional Anglican service, and so they entered into an agreement with Church of Epiphany in Regina to hold services in Moose Jaw. Before long, Church of Epiphany closed, and St. Barnabas began holding regular services. The parish celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2013. St. Barnabas had been worshipping at Parkview Funeral Chapel since 2011.

Central Lutheran began in 1903 through missionary work among the Scandinavian Lutherans. In 1911 the Trinity Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran congregation was formed, although it was eventually dissolved during World War I. In 1926 Rev. H.L. Urness began holding services in a private home, before moving to several different locations. By 1929 city council had donated two lots for a permanent building. The church cornerstone was laid on September 3, 1929. Central Lutheran has been worshipping at the same location ever since.

It is expected that this unique partnership will benefit both parishes, both in terms of cost savings, and in community outreach.

“This move will allow St. Barnabas to expand our ministry by being able to have mid-week services, bible studies, office and Sunday School space, and outreach to the community at large,” said Galenkamp. “The location, so close to Main Street, provides for better exposure for the parish as well as on and off-street parking, wheelchair accessibility to the whole building, and a large hall for church and social functions.”

“We at Central see this coming together as a model more churches need to explore in the future; it will be a time of sharing both expenses that keep rising, and also celebrating our unity as Christians together in times of fellowship,” said Pastor Bill Cantelon of Central Lutheran. “At the same time, we recognize our practices are different, so we also want to honour that as well. But this connecting will benefit both of our congregations in ways yet not seen. We are looking forward to the growth and learning that God will bring both of our groups as we share one building.”

Central Lutheran Church is located at 27 Hochelaga St. W. For more information, visit http://centrallutheranmj.com or call the church office at 306-694-5575. You can contact St. Barnabas via www.saintbarnabasmoosejaw.com by visiting www.facebook.com/saintbarnabasmoosejaw, or by phoning Fr. Galenkamp at 306-313-1163.

Lil Sweet Pea and I are still studying “loyalty” in our character studies. This week, we learned about the honey bee and its exceptional ability to communicate amongst the other bees in their hive. With thousands of bees in one beehive, precise communication must happen in order to successfully maintain cooperation and productivity within their environment. The queen bee lays two to three thousand eggs daily. The drones must be on the lookout for future queen bees while the worker bees must accomplish their distinct tasks and responsibilities for the hive to buzz with ease and efficiency.

We’ve learned some fascinating facts about bees.

Did you know that the worker bees pass through a sequence of six stages in its life including cleaner, nurse, storer, repairer, guard and scout during its brief 38 day life span? Did you know an average colony of honey bees is approximately 60,000 bees with one queen bee and approximately 100 drones?

The bees guarding their home can detect if there is an intruder bee coming in to disturb the hive by using their 1,200 scent organs that are on its antennae. These are only just a few of the intriguing facts about honeybees.

As bees are scrupulous to communicate within their hives, there was a family named the Rechabites who had carried a message forth for 200 years. Their ancestor had instructed the family to not drink wine or buy homes or land and they had successfully honored his strange instructions for 200 years.

They were called before the Prophet Jeremiah who requested them to drink wine he’d set before them and violate the instructions of their forefather. Although they were caught between a rock and a hard place of not wanting to dishonor the prophet before them, they were unified in their response as they chose to honor their family’s instructions and all that was commanded of them. Not realizing this was a test, the Rechabite family had shown a great example of obedience in the face of pressure to conform. The Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah to use this family as an example to the entire nation to teach them the importance of obeying the commands of the Lord in the same way the family had obeyed their forefather’s instructions. The family reaped great rewards for the strange commands that had been given to their family years ago; saved from being killed or put into captivity as well as an unusual harmony and bond of love within a closeknit family. To top it off, because of their obedience, God promised that family there would always be godly descendents. This aspect of loyalty is “being a reliable messenger to those I am serving.”

As we see with the honeybee and the Rechabites, they both show the importance of being reliable messengers to those they were serving. Who do we serve? If we are married, we serve our spouse.

If we have children, we serve our kids. If we are employed, we serve our boss. What messages are we communicating? And how do we communicate?

So many misunderstandings and hurt feelings come from miscommunication. Part of the character of loyalty involves the honing of good communication skills to effectively say what we are trying to say.

As Proverbs promises, it is good to pursue loyalty.

I’d go as far to say that it would prevent many hurtful break-ups and divorces if loyalty was put into practice. Loyalty is a strong character quality we all should work on.

“He who pursues righteousness and loyalty finds life, righteousness and honor.” Proverbs 21:21

How do you say thank you to someone who bore you, raised you and loves you through to eternity?

Mother’s Day is just on the horizon and kids of all ages will be paying tribute to these special women who have made life possible for so many.

According to the Internet gurus, “loving’ and ‘caring” are tops when it comes to words reflecting a mothJoan Ritchie EDITOR er’s love. Others include “giving,” “gentle,” “nurturing,” “supportive,” “comforting,” “accepting,” “patient,” “understanding,” “caring” “compassionate” and “selfless.”

Before women became mothers, they probably couldn’t believe how tight the heart strings could be between mother and child. Motherhood may not be a glamourous or high-profile position, but it is one of the noblest God-given professions.

Although motherhood is a lifetime of sacrifice, most mothers do it without blinking an eye or weighing the cost. Love compels us.

Here are some inspiring words that share the sentiments of the love of a mother: “my mother is pure radiance. she is the sun i can touch and kiss and hold without getting burnt.” ― Sanober Khan “You loved me before seeing me; You love me in all my mistakes; You will love me for what I am.” ― Luffina Lourdurai “Mothers Offer Their Hearts as an Eternal Resting Spot” ― Richelle E. Goodrich “Things that remind me of Mother are these: the truth ‘mid deception, a warm summer breeze, the calm within chaos, a stitch in a rip, a comforting blanket, the smile on her lip, an ocean of love in a heart big as whales, the morals in everyday stories she tells, a wink amid laughter, the wisdom in books, the peace in humility, beauty in looks, the light and the life in a ray of the sun, the hard work accomplished disguised as pure fun, concern in a handclasp, encouragement too, the hope in a clear morning sky azure blue, the power in prayers uttered soft and sincere, the faith in a promise, and joy in a tear.

These things all attest to the wonder and grace of my precious mother, none else could replace.” ― Richele E. Goodrich Happy Mother’s Day Mom… my love to you, with prayers and blessings! And to moms everywhere, Happy Mother’s Day!

EDITOR

Joyce Walter Reflective Moments column in the Weds., May 2nd edition of the Express called High St. W in Moose Jaw a cow path. I and many many more call it Pole or Stake Racing which was a very important game on horse-back riding in the South Sask. Riding & Roping race in our gymkhana club. The only thing is the game was played on ground in an arena and not on broken down holes, high ridges, etc. on High Street W. Can you imagine a horse & rider in the city doing this?

Vanier students show off skills at Fine Arts Cafe Randy Palmer Moose Jaw Express

Rhedina Britton sings during the Vanier Fine Arts Cafe

One of the highlights of the year for the Vanier’s wide variety of arts and culture programs took place on Apr. 27 with the local high school’s annual Fine Arts Cafe.

A host of students and teachers showed off an impressive array of skills during the low key, intimate event in the school’s cafeteria, continuing an annual tradition that has grown in popularity year to year.

“It’s a great mix of singing, dancing and even our improv team performed,” said Kenna Whelan, one of the event’s teacher organizers. “It’s always a fun night, the kids have a great time and get to show off their talent.

“It’s very diverse, we have a lot of incredible students who are involved in activities in the community outside of school as well... choir, band, improv, dance, drama production. So we’re really lucky to have such a great group of talented young people.”

Among those young people was Grade 12 Thayne Winder, who in addition to acting as master of ceremonies alongside fellow senior Matthais Harden performed pieces on the recorder, saxophone and was part of the improvisational comedy team.

“I like staying involved in everything, dipping my finger into the pot and be a part of as many groups as I can,” Winder said with a laugh.

“I think it went really well; there were a lot of really good acts and a lot of people who can sing and play music a lot better than I can, so that’s pretty great... there’s a lot of people who do a lot of nice things here at Vanier and there are a lot of programs that enable people to show-off talents like that.”

Harden agreed, saying that having a chance to support an event for the arts was something he couldn’t miss.

“There’s a lot of stuff to do with sports at the school, so whenever something like this pops up to give other students something they can do, I really love it and trying to put some support behind it,” he said. “It’s just a great opportunity for the kids. It’s fantastic to see it grow every year and more people attend and it’ll be neat to see what it grows into in the future.”

Vanier Collegiate teacher Monique Byers was one of several educators who took part in the Cafe.

CORNER DOWN ON THE

When it comes to breaking habits, good or bad, the lifelong ones can be the most difficult, but with the proper guidance, inspiration and maybe a twelve-step recovery program, it can be done. They say the first step of those twelve steps to recovery is to admit that you have a problem. I will admit to you folks that I do indeed have a problem.

You see, I am a junky…no, not the wide-eyed television stealing heroin/drug addict; I am a wide-eyed television-watching “collector” of rare and useful artifacts, which my beautiful bride describes as junk. She may have a point and it is always up for discussion. To be honest, these rare artifacts were kept in one or two convenient kitchen drawers.

My junk drawer recovery program may have started a decade ago when we moved from the Cowtown to the flatlands. Unlike a move in the city where a guy calls in favours from buddies with trucks, we had to pay by the pound a professional moving company and, I am

by Dale “bushy” Bush frugal. Some might say cheap. When my bride discovered that I not only had some kitchen junk drawers but also a basement shop junk drawer, a garden shed junk drawer, a music room junk drawer, a garage junk drawer and the equivalent of a junk drawer in my truck, she declared that I needed therapy. She also declared that my junk had to go, and I agreed. It did have to go…to our new house on the flatlands…ha! So, after I sold, recycled and dumped my junk drawer treasures, we moved to the flatlands where I was limited to a measly 2 junk/treasure drawers.

The word junk in junk drawer can be misleading. I actually prefer the term treasure drawer, so when I was forced to deal with a 15-year collection of treasures, I began to understand that old saying, “One man’s treasures are his wife’s junk”. Some of the treasures a guy needs in his treasure drawer are basic tools like a screwdriver, tape measure, Xacto knife, scrapers, a small hammer and in my case, a small first aid kit.

These treasures can be surrounded by other useful items like duct tape, which is so handy to temporarily or permanently repair a plethora of broken things that will often end up in the treasure drawer. Pens that work and many that don’t have a place in a guy’s junk…er treasure drawer and that can include pencils, crayons, markers, highlighters - most of which are long dried up or in need of sharpening. One treasure that I am positive is in every single junk drawer in Canada is a collection of Canadian Tire money. There is nothing more satisfying than taking tens of dollars worth of CT money and redeeming it to buy more treasures for my treasure drawer.

Are you having trouble finding a drywall screw or nut and bolt? There is a WOOD LILY DR. good possibility there might be one in your treasure drawer. When I repair #204-67 Moose Jaw, SK or replace something, there always seems to be leftover piece. What better DOREEN HEINBIGNER REALTOR® place to store them than a treasure drawer? At tax time when receipts are PH. (306) 630-6643 needed for deductions, where else would you look but the junk drawer and if the bills are stacked on top of each other they can be chronological.

These days, I have my junk drawer habit in check. It is a constant process but when my beautiful bride asked me to tighten a lid on a pot cover the other day, I eagerly agreed. When she said she had a screwdriver in her baking junk drawer I wisely kept my mouth shut. I’m not that brave.

Once a Junky…
