‘Give Hope Wings’ expedition spreads awareness for Hope Air Pilots took to the skies to raise awareness for a good cause last week at the 6th annual expedition for the ‘Give Hope Wings’ charity.

Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express / Moose Jaw Today.com Pilots took to the skies to raise awareness for a good cause with the last plane touching down on Friday June 23rd at the Regina International Airport. This concluded the 6th annual expedition for the ‘Give Hope Wings’ charity organization.

The campaign ran from June 5 – 23, and pilots took three separate routes across Canada. One expedition took place in Western Canada, one in Eastern Canada, and one in the prairies.

The goal was to promote awareness for Hope Air. Hope Air is a charitable organization dedicated to providing every Canadian with access to healthcare, regardless of WKHLU ORFDWLRQ RU ¿QDQFLDO VLWXDWLRQ 7KH mission of the organization is to provide this transportation and accommodation free of charge when it is needed most.

“It (Hope Air) is not being utilized as it should be or could be in Saskatchewan right now.

“Saskatchewan -- in the prairies -- everything is so far apart. I can see how some people might not have the means to get to a major city for medical treatment or the attention that they might need.”

All scheduled destinations were reached except one, but not every aircraft could make all the stops due to weather.

This is because the expedition contained a variety of light aircraft with different capabilities.

“The expedition had 12 cities plotted out, and they went to 11 of the 12 cities.

The one city they didn’t make it to was due to fuel availability, so it wasn’t viable to go because of that.

Spreading the word “Every location had something (to offer), whether a museum tour or something to keep the pilots entertained. There was community involvement,” said Jacques, noting that members of the community came to ask questions and the pilots were able to spread awareness.

Hosted inside museums or in hangars, everything was set up on site and utilized local resources. Local companies and vendors came together to offer their support so everyone had the chance to attend.

Police award ceremony recognizes outstanding community service Distinguished members of the Moose Jaw Police Service (MJPS) were recognized in a medal ceremony led by lieutenant-governor Russ Mirasty.

Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express / Moose Jaw Today.com Distinguished members of the Moose Jaw Police Service (MJPS) were recognized on Monday, June 26th in a medal ceremony honouring outstanding service to the community. This event followed a similar recognition of civilian contributions a few weeks back.

The medal ceremony took place at the Performing Art Theatre adjacent to the library and was opened by the Honourable Russ Mirasty, lieutenant-governor of Saskatchewan.

“And not a single person here did anything that they did for the recognition. They did it because it’s the right thing to do, because they care,” said Rick Bourassa, police chief for the MJPS. “So, to add a little bit of recognition on top and to have... the lieutenant-governor here with us today was really important to us.”

Medal and award recipients Police Exemplary Award (30 years of service): • Constable Todd Booth Police Exemplary Award (20 years of service): • Sergeant Randy Boechler • Constable Jay Sills Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal: • Lori Anderson • Staff Sergeant Taylor Elder • Destiny Gibney • Constable Shawn Mohle • Lisa Renwick • Terri Roney Retirement announcement In addition to these awards, there was also a retirement to announce.

Patti Gibney served as a civilian administrative assistant for the MJPS. “She… looked after managing our records, doing those (administrative) things, and that’s really important.

(She) always came to work and brought a smile and was just a pleasure to have in the workplace. We wish her all the best in her retirement,” said Bourassa in recognition of her service.

Not everyone who has recently retired could attend, and they will be honoured at a later date.

Lieutenant-governor Russ Mirasty attends After the ceremony began, medals were presented by the lieutenant-governor.

Lieutenant-governor Russ Mirasty served with the RCMP for 36 years and speaks from the wisdom gathered during his years of service. “You look after us, (so) make sure you look after yourselves as well,” he said, remind-

Even after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, these medals continue to be awarded in her name. This legacy is important, according to lieutenant-governor Russ Mirasty. “I think it gives it more special meaning… and really honours her dedication not only to her country but to the commonwealth including Canada for over 70 years.

“It is an especially great honour to receive recognition in the name of the late queen,” he added.

The Platinum Jubilee medal carries an unprecedentHG KRQRXU LQ WKH FRPPRQZHDOWK DQG GHVHUYHV VLJQL¿FDQW commemoration. Saskatchewan will award 7000 of the medals.

The Platinum Jubilee medal was discontinued federally but was continued by the province of Saskatchewan from March 30, 2022. “I think that Saskatchewan was one RI WKH ¿UVW SURYLQFHV WR VWHS XS DQG VD\ ZH DUH JRLQJ WR GR this regardless,” said lieutenant-governor Russ Mirasty.

The Canadian tradition of presenting and wearing medals is part of a royal celebration that goes back over 125 years, to the reign of Queen Victoria. Since then, medals have been awarded for events such as Queen Elizabeth’s coronation, and for her major anniversary years.

Police Chief Rick Bourassa speaks After the lieutenant-governor presented the awards, police chief Rick Bourassa shared a few words to show his appreciation.

One notable mention was Dawn Luhning, former Board of Police Commission chair. She was presented with a commissioner’s badge for her service.

“We’re recognizing Luhning today for her leadership as a member of the chair of the Moose Jaw Board of Police Commissioners. Her dedication, governance, and oversight, as well as commitment to the community’s safety brought great value to the MJPS and the citizens of Moose Jaw,” Bourassa said.

Bourassa then tied in the civilian award ceremony held previously and explained that the community itself is to thank.

“We are fortunate to live in such a community. So many people that give so much to make it such a great place to live.

“It’s so heartening to see not only the people inside our police service, but all of the people outside of our police service who do so much and go above and beyond expectations to keep all of us safer… and keep our community a better place. It’s always so important that we get these opportunities to recognize that,” said Bourassa.

“I commend all of today’s honourees for helping to safeguard our communities… and having excelled in your careers. You are positive role models for your family, community, colleges, friends, and family,” said lieutenant-governor Russ Mirasty.

“From all of us at the MJPS, we want to thank everybody and wish you all the best. We appreciate all that you do every day,” concluded Bourassa.

Ecole St. Margaret School hosts Lieutenant Governor for student council wrap-up

By Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

A new student council experiment at Ecole St. Margaret School in Moose Jaw was a big hit, so to cap it off administrators at the school went through the process of requesting a visit from Their Honours the Honourable Russ Mirasty and his wife Donna.

“We started a new extracurricular activity at our school this year, which was a student council,” explained Katherine King, principal at Ecole St. Margaret. “The purpose of that student council was to learn about government authentically, like if you were interested in going LQWR SROLWLFV RU DQ RI¿FLDO SRVLWLRQ DQG DOVR VHUYLQJ WKH school and serving fellow students.”

King said the experiment was a big success — everyone had fun and learned a great deal, and the idea proved popular with the entire student body.

The eventual president of the council, Ronin, is a Grade 7 student, and his vice-president Paula is in Grade 8.

“Our student president did an excellent job. He was elected by our student body after running an actual campaign, as in he went around meeting students and explaining to them what he would do for the school and how he would serve them,” King said. “He’s a great student and a great leader in our school.”

Representatives were elected to the council from each class alongside the president and vice-president.

A mother at St. Margaret told King about the process of inviting the Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan to visit, and after completing the application they were thrilled to learn he had accepted.

“It was really interesting, because as you can imagine, there are many protocols that go with receiving a visit from him. So, that was another neat process for the students to learn about. The student council set up the gym for his arrival, prepared questions for him about his role,

Joan Ritchie Jason G. Antonio Gordon Edgar Joyce Walter Saddman Zaman Randy Palmer Ron Walter John Kreutzwieser ’ll take the time in this editorial to comment on a few things that come to mind.

When I read the article in this edition in the city council section on No free parking for out-of-towners…, I was rather taken-aback because we are a tourist town during the summer months and free parking has usually been the norm for tourists for years during the Joan Ritchie summer.

EDITOR Then immediately my mind went to, ‘Way to go Mayor Tolley!’ I totally agree that if we as citizens have to pay for parking, then so do visitors. It’s the citizens of Moose Jaw who pay the taxes here and although we love to have visitors come to the friendly city, all people should be treated equitably. I don’t remember a time when I have gone to another city in another province and got special privileges because I was visiting from Saskatchewan. If I can afford to travel out-of-province for a getaway or holiday, my lightning fast mind reminds me that maybe I might need a few extra bucks for plugging meters as necessary.

-------------------------------I hope all of the book-buffs are booking their seats to attend this year’s Festival of Words that will be taking place from July 13-16 here in Moose Jaw. It usually is an annual highlight that features well-known authors and content with a Canadian focus.

Another of the bigger summer highlights is the Highway to Heroes Car Show that will be held on Saturday, July 22nd at the Exhibition Grounds. There’s a lot more going on that day too on the grounds.

-------------------------------It seems individuals really like to get nostalgic about how things were ‘way- back-then’. That’s why they visit Sukanen Village and do some exploring in the old heritage buildings stocked with yesterday’s ‘way-to-do life’ years ago. The seniors and parents may be more compelled to ‘remember when,’ but I know for sure that the Sukanen Fun Day that will be taking place on Sunday, July 16th will certainly put a smile or grin on the kids’ faces as they are entertained with kid-friendly amusements. Check it out! Sukanen Village is also offering slashed prices to make it more affordable for families – cheaper attendance, and who doesn’t want to get a treat like ice-cream, popcorn or baking for only 25 cents?

-------------------------------One of my friends lost her mother this past week.

My heart goes out to her and anyone else who has had to say goodbye to their mom. Losing a mother is like losing your best fan, supporter or encourager, at least that is how I feel about mine. My mom went to her eternal home on June 25th three years ago. Although she is gone, she lives on in my heart and thoughts and I will miss her until I go down that same road one day.

PiT Count back on: Square One says count of unhoused population will take place in August Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Square One Community Inc. is proceeding with a Pointin-Time (PiT) Count of Moose Jaw’s unhoused population, said PiT co-ordinator Desiree LaLonde, restarting a process that began several months ago.

On August 26, 2023, Square One Community Inc. (Square One), LaLonde, and volunteers from the community will carry out a PiT count using a model standardized across many major cities in Canada, including Regina, Saskatoon, and Prince Albert.

Trained volunteers will count and survey individuals staying in shelters, living without shelter, and those with provisional accommodations, often called the ‘hidden homeless’ because whatever accommodations they have are not permanent, safe and/or reliable.

“Our PiT Count will provide a ‘snapshot’ of homelessness in Moose Jaw,” Square One said in a media release. “It will indicate the minimum number of people experiencing homelessness in our community. Other forms of homelessness, such as staying temporarily with friends (provisionally accommodated), are not typically included in a PiT Count.

“However, thanks to the work and support of Dr. Isobel M. Findlay from the Community-University Institute for Social Research (CUISR) and her team, our count will include those with provisional accommodations. Our PiT Count will improve our understanding of the needs and circumstances of the people affected by homelessness in our community.”

Founder and president Della Ferguson speaks to the crowd gathered for Square One’s inaugural Walk for Warmth in March (photo by Gordon Edgar) ing homelessness in Moose Jaw. They are currently dedicated to developing a women’s shelter at William Milne Place on Fairford Street. The shelter will also include a warming/cooling space and a community program to improve the basic, practical life skills of Square One clients.

The survey portion of the count will provide Square One with key data on gender, age, ethnicity, veteran status, and more. It will seek to identify the contributing factors and challenges that homeless individuals face — including, but not limited to, potential gaps in service.

Lastly, a brief pan-community survey will attempt

to establish the general population’s understanding of homelessness in Moose Jaw and of the services available for those experiencing homelessness in Moose Jaw. Community members who participate in that part of the count/survey will have a chance to give their input on addressing homelessness in their community.

Results from the PiT Count will be made publicly available, LaLonde said. The results of the PiT Count will improve Square One’s response to homelessness, such as determining where resources are best allocated.

However, the count will likely be valuable beyond just Square One, as has been demonstrated in other municipalities. In most cities, emergency services are familiar with unhoused individuals because they come into frequent contact with them — but they do not count or track such individuals because of privacy concerns.

Regular public PiT counts, therefore, give leaders, DGPLQLVWUDWRUV DQG RI¿FLDOV XVHIXO VWDWLVWLFV IRU WKHLU DUHD including vital information on whether the number of unhoused people is going down or up.

In the future, successive counts will measure progress toward Square One’s ultimate goal of ending homelessness in Moose Jaw. To volunteer with Square One’s PiT Count, contact Desiree LaLonde at mjpitcount@gmail.com, or by phone at 306-630-2702.

“We want to make it easier for our young people to get the supports and services they’re looking for all in one location,” Mental Health and Addictions Minister Everett Hindley said. “I encourage interested communities and organizations to apply to host and operate an Integrated Youth Services hub to help our young people reach their full potential.”

Integrated Youth Services (IYS) aim is to reimagine KRZ \RXWK DQG WKHLU IDPLOLHV ¿QG DFFHVV WR WKH UHVRXUFHV services and support they need.

“Our Saskatchewan Integrated Youth Services team is excited to begin searching for local partners to host youth hubs that support young people in their community,” JHSS Director of Integrated Youth Services Pam Reimer said. “The selected partners will work toward providing rapid access to innovative youth services and supports, right in their backyard. We are eager to see which communities submit a proposal to host the IYS Youth Hubs.”

The JHSS has implemented a provincial model for IYS to provide rapid access to youth-targeted supports, with a focus on prevention and early intervention. Services offered are typically for mental health and substance use, peer supports, primary care, education, employment

and training, cultural and traditional supports, and social and community services.

This inter-sectoral initiative includes leadership and support from the Ministries of Health, Education, Social Services, Justice, Attorney General, Corrections, Policing and Public Safety, Advanced Education, Immigration and Career Training, Government Relations, and Parks, Culture and Sport.

Using standardized assessment criteria, JHSS will determine the successful applicants that best demonstrate need and readiness to lead an IYS hub. Virtual programming will begin while physical locations are being established.

Saskatchewan communities and organizations interested in operating an IYS site can access a call for proposals package at https://saskiys.ca/call-for-proposals/# Submission deadline is August 11, 2023 at 6 p.m.

Informational webinars are being hosted by the IYS backbone team to help communities learn more about IYS, Saskatchewan’s model and to support proposal development. More information about these webinars can be found at https://saskiys.ca.

International Harvester show days focus on attracting families Ron Walter - For Moose Jaw Express

The International Harvester Company Collectors are holding a show and demonstration weekend at the Sukanen Ship Pioneer Village and Museum from Friday, July 7 to Sunday, July 9.

While the event is to showcase the equipment and household items the Chapter 38 collectors have acquired over the years, the focus is on the family.

“We want to attract families,” said Colleen Urick, Chapter 38 vice-president.

Events on Saturday and Sunday for young people include a daily coin search in a pile of gravel, bouncy castle, airplane crafts session, ring toss, bird feeder crafts, ODQWHUQ FUDIWV SDSHU SODWH ÀRZHU FUDIWV and sun catcher crafts.

Urick, who works with children, will host the craft sessions.

The show kicks off July 8 at 8 a.m with a pancake breakfast and IHC equipment displays.

IHC planned to be a one stop shop for farmers, making everything from trucks, tractors, farm equipment, refrigerators, deep freezes, cream separators to cook books, toys and power generators.

“Our members will display their col-

lections’’ on both days.

The afternoons start at 1 p.m. with a parade of power where members show off more collections. A tractor pull happens at 3 p.m. each day.

Homemade pie will be available at the concession.

Chapter 38 has about 250 members spread across the West from Manitoba to B.C. This is the third IHC show in Moose Jaw since 2010.

One feature attracting members is the IHC replica dealership at Sukanen which was completed two years ago with funding by Chapter 38.

The distinctive structure displays IHC equipment.

The showcases and furnishings came from a dealership in northern Alberta.

IHC dates to the 1800s when Cyrus McCormick invented WKH ¿UVW KRUVH drawn reaper and became IHC with a merger in 1902.

In 1982 the truck division was sold and in 1984 IHC merged with Case which still produces IHC brand equipment.

Reflective Moments

By Joyce Walter - Moose Jaw Express

Held captive between a commode and dirty tub

I will never, ever again wonder why cellphones are glued to some people’s hands.

I’ve been one of those people of my generation who wondered, at times, how we ever managed to grow up successfully without being in constant communication with friends, family and strangers who aren’t shy about calling to chat.

As a teenager, getting our own number that stopped the eavesdropping on a party line was a major landmark in our world. We could phone from home or from a payphone if we had the correct change but phones in our pockets or in our hands as we walked and talked was unheard of.

But now I understand why people of every generation have a love for the cellphone.

This time of enlightenment came without warning one day recently — in a bathroom located in a dumpy motel in a strange city. :H ZHUH GHVSHUDWH WR ¿QG D URRP LQ D FLW\ WKDW KDG welcomed several thousand delegates to a religious convention and rooms in the better motels and hotels were alUHDG\ ERRNHG ZKHQ , KDG WR ¿QG D SODFH WR UHVW RXU KHDGV for one weekend evening.

When we told family members where we had booked, there were raised eyebrows and looks exchanged that said to me I had made an extremely poor decision.

We were told the various names the motel had previously been known as and one relative warned us to make sure the doors locked because she had had a scary experience there. “Wonderful,” I thought, as later we made our way to

the motel which ironically was close to a cemetery. Someone should have buried this establishment years ago.

We were able to check in early and our spirits were lifted by that news as we had other places to be in short order. We were given a convoluted map to the parking area from which we could access the room. Use door E or G but not F, we were told. The key to E did not work but a staff person opened it for us.

Our room was small and had an odour about it like old socks and wet carpet or wet dog. We agreed not to walk around in bare feet, not to store anything in the dirty fridge, nor plug anything into any of the electrical outlets.

The urge to use the facilities could not be denied so off I went, leaving my phone on the desk. I shut the door behind me, but leaving it unlocked. I looked at the bath tub in horror, wondering how old it might be and if it have ever met Mr. Clean.

LWK EXVLQHVV ¿QLVKHG , WULHG WR WXUQ WKH NQRE WR OHDYH the premises. Nothing happened. The door would not open no matter how many times I wiggled and jiggled the knob. I pounded on the door. Housemate did not respond.

I pounded again. “Surely he hadn’t gone out for a walk,” I thought.

So I shouted his name with some emphasis and heard his response that he was coming. But not fast enough for me not to realize I was locked in a bathroom and I had no phone to call 911, a family member, even the hotel’s front desk. I was stuck there with the dirty tub hoping Housemate remembered where I had gone.

My cellphone was out there with him rather than in

my pocket where it normally resides when I’m away from home.

Finally he was there, outside the door, trying his best to let me out while I was doing what I could from the other side. Eventually the door opened and I escaped, being PRUH ÀXVWHUHG WKDQ , FDQ HYHU UHPHPEHU I wondered what would have been the outcome if I had been travelling alone. I would have been stuck in there until maybe the cleaning crew showed up the next time. Judging from the dusty surfaces, and it being a weekend, that might have been a few days in the future.

Of course family members thought it was an amusing tale but it wasn’t them in the prison between commode and tub, with no food, water with an odour, and no means of communication. I might have been successful in breaking the window but I’m not sure the plunger would have worked — wait a minute — there wasn’t a plunger to be found. And a half roll of toilet tissue wouldn’t have been of any use.

And so my cellphone is fully charged, and is in my pocket when not glued to my hand. I have learned a valuable lesson: don’t be so judgmental of others until I have walked a few steps in their shoes. Maybe they too have been unable to exit a bathroom and couldn’t call a friend.

I have letter composed to the owners of the motel.

I don’t expect a response. My online review has already disappeared. Perhaps I will send the motel a package of dust rags and a plunger.

COUNCIL NOTES

THE NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING IS MONDAY, JULY 10.

Councillor Kim Robinson brought a motion during the regular June 26 meeting of Moose Jaw City Council to look for ways to increase enforcement and penalties on the ‘blight’ of unmaintained, often abandoned buildings in the city.

Robinson moved that an amendment or replacement of Bylaw No. 5484, Property Maintenance and Nuisance bylaw, be brought forward for consideration.

“Since I was elected a couple of years ago, we’ve had this issue, and granted I think we’ve made some pretty good ground on some of these vacant buildings,” Robinson explained to council. “But the bottom line is they’re a blight to our city. ³, WKLQN WKDW ZH QHHG D VSHFL¿F VWUDWHJ\ WR GHDO ZLWK some of these things.”

“It’s not just a matter of the vacant buildings and vandalism,” Blanc said. “Some of the buildings have been empty in the city for decades, you know, 20-30 years. …

Either the people aren’t interested in it, or they just don’t care, maybe they don’t live there.

“If a building has been empty for over 10 years, even, something should be done.”

Tolley submitted the written inquiry at the regular meeting of city council on May 23 of this year.

In a June 9 answer to his inquiry, the Department of Legislative and Enforcement Services told the mayor and city council that: “It was a long-standing practice that Moose Jaw did not ticket out-of-province licence plates for parking at a meter without paying.

According to the report, the practice began chang-

“You can’t park downtown with an out-of-province license plate and expect to get free parking. The same rules apply to everybody.”

CITY HALL COUNCIL NOTES

THE NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING IS MONDAY, JULY 10.

A proposed by-law allowing the use of e-scooters on City of Moose Jaw pathways was temporarily halted at 5-2 during the June 26 regular meeting of city council, although it is expected to pass at the next meeting on July 10.

“I’m not in favour of this by-law,” Jamey Logan said.

“It’s not that I’m one hundred per cent against it, I just think we’re rushing into it.”

Logan’s sentiment was shared by Heather Eby, Crystal Froese — who ended up voting in favour —, and taxpayer Art King.

King is a frequent presenter at council meetings, exercising his citizen’s rights to address lawmakers and express his concerns. King gave a presentation at the beginning of the June 26 meeting to try and persuade council PHPEHUV QRW WR YRWH IRU H VFRRWHUV ² RI¿FLDOO\ 7UDI¿F %\ODZ $PHQGPHQW 1R .LQJ¶V UHDVRQV ZHUH ¿UVWO\ liability, and secondly the murky nature of policing yet another motor-driven mode of transportation on public pathways.

He said that with potholes as bad as they are, and injuries sure to come with e-scooter operation, the city could face liability issues.

The rules for operating an e-scooter under the new bylaw, ZLWK LQLWLDO ¿QHV VWDUWLQJ DW ZLOO EH DV follows: Persons shall only operate electric kick scooters: - on trails and pathways; or - on a highway if the highway has a speed of 50 km/h or less.

The bylaw regulations are in addition to provincial legislation restricting riders to 16 or older, and they must wear a helmet on roads. Rules governing sidewalks and pathways are left to municipalities.

The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author, DQG GR QRW QHFHVVDULO\ UHÀHFW WKH SRVLWLRQ RI WKLV SXEOLFDWLRQ OPINION/COMMENTARY What Does Healthy Social Media Usage Look Like?

By Nick Kossovan

Based on my interactions with those under 35, I have made the following generalization: Young people today are increasingly eschewing meaningful friendships, intimate relationships, having a steady job, and being connected to a religion and a community in favour of spending a lot of time on social media.

It is well known that a healthy eating habit is based on moderation. Even though we often do not follow “eating in moderation,” we understand its importance because we have experienced what happens when we consume excessive amounts of sugar, carbs, and alcohol, resulting in fatigue, weight gain, and a gaunt appearance. Furthermore, we are constantly educated about the link between our diet and chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.

I remember a time not long ago when children running around in backyards, parks and playing street hockey was a common sight. This stopped when the Xbox console was introduced to the market on November 15, 2001. Children, especially teens, began solitarily playing video games in their room or parent’s EDVHPHQW ZKLFK PDQ\ ¿QG OHVV VWUHVVIXO than socializing.

Aside from younger generations not developing social skills, I believe social PHGLD¶V PRVW VLJQL¿FDQW GDPDJH LV WKDW

romantic relationships are no longer pursued. Rather than risk being judged and rejected by the cute girl at Starbucks, the easier option is to sit at home scrolling through social media feeds, dating apps, and visiting porn sites, thus avoiding rejection.

Overuse of social media diverts people from real-life experiences, especially those in their formative adolescent years—ages 12 to 21—resulting in a ODFN RI IXO¿OOPHQW DQG JHQXLQH UHODWLRQships, which social media undermines.

While Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are great platforms for keeping in touch with family and friends and connecting with like-minded individuals, these sites create stress by encouraging us to project an idealized version of ourselves. We also tend to compare ourselves to the idealized version of others, thus feeling we are not “good enough,” and hence withdraw rather than take the risk of putting ourselves out there.

The life-damaging consequences of using social media to escape from real life are that you are not present and engaged with your surroundings. As a result, much of life passes you by, and you miss out on many things, from the opportunity to form meaningful relationships, be part of a local supportive community to learning from social interactions.

Next time you are out to dinner, look

at other tables. You will likely see people staring at their phones instead of talking to each other.

Like a healthy eating habit (READ: Healthy food use, as opposed to eating to suppress your feelings.) revolves around eating in moderation, healthily using social media requires moderation, which can be achieved by making yourself aware of the following: Time management (VWDEOLVK ERXQGDULHV DQG VSHFL¿F times for social media use to prevent it from interfering with your real life. My social media usage is limited to 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Mondays to Saturdays (Sundays are my ‘no social media’ days.), and I often schedule my posts and content.

Focusing on quality interactions.

Refrain from passively consuming social media content. Instead, be mindful of your social media engagements. Use social media to engage with real-life family and friends, learn something new, or pursue hobbies as opposed to mindlessly scrolling through feeds.

0DNH \RXU RIÀLQH OLIH \RXU SULRULW\ Engage in activities that promote real-world connections. Spend time with family and friends, participate in community events, pursue hobbies, and explore new interests. Spend 90% of your time in the real world and 10% in the digital world.

Be selective regarding whom you follow.

Keep your social media feeds up-todate with your values and interests. Engage with accounts that inspire, educate, and bring joy to your online life. If an account makes you feel inadequate or overwhelmed, unfollow it.

Addiction to social media is real.

Like a drug, hearing your phone ping a QRWL¿FDWLRQ RU VHHLQJ D OLNH RQ \RXU ,QVtagram post triggers the reward center in your brain. Social media companies know precisely what they are doing from a neurological perspective; it is called intermittent reinforcement. Casinos do this with slot machines, and you are doing the same when you are constantly checking your social media feeds, looking for likes and comments to your posts—it is a dopamine hit.

The key to healthily using social media is to use it to enhance your life, much like you should use food to support your KHDOWK ZKLFK H[LVWV RIÀLQH 8OWLmately, it is your decision whether to live most of your life in the real world, navigating all its harshness and experiencing all its beauty, or withdrawing to the digital world because it “feels safe.”

“It still hasn’t sunk in yet,” Yager said. “Such a great organization, you look at some of the players on their roster, guys that I can really learn from and guys that I’ve looked up to growing up, so it’s incredible.”

The Saskatoon product has been living up to lofty expectations since the Warriors selected him with the third overall pick in the 2020 WHL Prospects Draft.

“They’re amazing… it starts with them and taking care of me and bringing me in their household,” he said.

“The community of Moose Jaw, it’s a small community and everybody’s so close together, that’s one thing I’ve learned is if I can be a part of the community, they’ll have my back. “(And there’s a) great coaching staff in Moose Jaw and great players, so I’ve been pretty lucky to be in Moose Jaw.” Yager set a Warriors’ franchise record for most goals by a 16-year-old last season with 34 and then followed it up with a career-high in assists with 50 and points with %UD\GHQ <DJHU RQ WKH VWDJH DIWHU EHLQJ VHOHFWHG LQ WKH 78 this season. ¿UVW URXQG RI WKH 1+/ 'UDIW E\ WKH 3LWWVEXUJK 3HQShortly after being drafted, Yager received a phone JXLQV 6SRUWVQHW call from Penguins captain Sidney Crosby, who welcomed him to the organization.

25-year-old marathoning across Canada in honour of Terry Fox soon reaching Moose Jaw Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

A 25-year-old Winnipeg man is running across the country in honour of Terry Fox, raising money for cancer research along the way while he attempts to run at least 50 kilometres a day for approximately 120 days.

Jackson Charron-Okerlund began his journey at the Terry Fox memorial statue in St. John’s, Newfoundland on March 6.

His only permanent companionship on the journey — as well as providing a place to sleep most nights — is a van driven by his EHVW IULHQG DOWKRXJK KH UDQ WKH ¿UVW IHZ months solo, sleeping on the side of the road.

His goal is to raise $50,000 through his GoFundMe page. He has promised to supply proof of 90 per cent of donations going to cancer research — the other 10 per cent will support his run.

He is due to run through Moose Jaw sometime during the week of July 3. As of June 29, he is on day 115 of his run.

“I’ve followed him and supported his journey the whole way,” said Jessie Friars. Friars is a Moose Javian who follows Charron-Okerlund on social media, especially TikTok, where he posts daily updates.

“I believe he was a care aid, and he said he watched so many seniors dying alone, many of them from cancer, that it just broke his heart. And he’s been a huge fan of Terry Fox since he was a kid — he collects Terry Fox clothing and stuff and always supports the Terry Fox Foundation.

“So, one day he just decided to start. +H VSHQW \HDUV JHWWLQJ ¿W DQG UHVHDUFKLQJ

and he fought with the friend driving his support van.

By the time he reached Ontario, however, his perseverance, sincerity, and spirit had made Fox famous. He was greeted by 10s of thousands of fans, met the Governor General and Prime Minister, and received a $25,000 donation from Hockey Hall of Famer Bobby Orr in person. His run ended outside Thunder Bay after his cancer spread to his lungs, and he died 9 months later on June 28, 1981, at 22 years old.

Fox is now considered a Canadian national hero, and the annual run in his name is the single-largest one-day fundraiser for cancer research in the world, raising more than $850 million as of September 2022.

That’s the legacy Charron-Okerlund is tributing, and at least a few hearts have been stirred.

“I’m a huge supporter, because I’ve lost so many family members,” Friars said. “So, I’m trying to drum up support for when he gets here, like, I’m just going around asking everyone if they’ve heard of ‘Cross Canada Jax.’ “He’ll be coming from Regina to Moose Jaw sometime next week, so I hope a few people will be out there with Jackson Charron-Okerlund in Thunder Bay, ON, at Terry Fox’s last milepost me cheering for him.”

Discovering the Royal Saskatchewan Museum: Engaging exhibits, natural history, and modern science Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

The Royal Saskatchewan Museum is a natural history museum located in Regina, the provincial capital, and is one of the largest museums in Western Canada, housing dioramas, learning activities, and a deep dive into the past, present, and future that will entertain the whole family.

The museum is located at 2445 Albert Street in Regina and is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Admission is by donation — the standard amount is $5 per person.

“One of our provinces best destinations is the Royal Saskatchewan Museum,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Laura Ross said. “This summer, the muVHXP LV KRVWLQJ H[FLWLQJ IXQ ¿OOHG DFWLYities for guests of all ages, alongside their world-class exhibits and interactive displays. There is always something new to explore at the museum.”

From July 2 to September 4, there are several fun activities taking place at the museum.

The Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) has two main sections. First, the main building is where visitors can explore a wide range of exhibits and displays showcasing the history of Saskatchewan and the surrounding areas. The second section is the archives and collections storage, where the scientists make the science happen.

One of the incredible dioramas at the RSM, designed evoke to wide-open feel of Prairie spaces Main Building — Exhibits, dioramas, and activities In the main building, visitors will learn about the province’s geological history, including the era when it was an inland sea, its natural history (including the unique plant and animal species of the grasslands), and its First Nations history, including an exploration of traditional Indigenous culture and lifestyle and the ongoing impact of colonial policies.

Of course, no visit to the RSM would be complete without a close look at the palaeontology section — fun fact, the RSM is home to the world’s largest and oldest Tyrannosaurus Rex! Nicknamed Scotty, the super-predator’s fossilized bones were discovered by an RSM research team in 1991. It took more than 20 years to separate stone from stone, resulting in a 65 per cent complete skeleton that was used to create the giant model in the dinosaur exhibit.

Archives and Collections The second section of the Royal Saskatchewan Museum is what gives life, pun intended, to the visitor’s section. Here, scientists from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds study our world through the lenses of paleontology, archaeology, biology, zoology, and more.

Saskatchewan has rocks from the end of the Cretaceous period, when the dinosaurs went extinct, and geological layers and zones that makes it particularly fascinating. This makes it a centre for scientists studying the last million years of the earth’s history. For example, graduate students from all over the world help the RSM’s curators analyze plant and insect life from just before the dinosaurs went extinct to the present day. By studying the differences, they can determine the impacts of climate on all forms of life.

Members of the public have found and contributed many of the items, and the RSM’s curators see the public as important partners in their quest to understand and preserve history.

The RSM’s collections also house PDQ\ LPSRUWDQW DQG FXOWXUDOO\ VLJQL¿FDQW First Nations artifacts. The museum’s curators and administrators work closely with Indigenous communities to make sure these artifacts are preserved, respected, and understood.

Remembering the Fallen

The ‘Royal Twenty Centers’ – Relief and the Great Depression

By Richard Dowson - For educational purposes In October 1929, the New York Stock Market crashed. By 1930 Stock Markets around the world and the Banking System was in peril. The unemployment rate rose to 30% in the cities.

Thousands of small farms were scattered across Saskatchewan and Alberta in the 1930s. Farming practices led to dust storms. Hailstorms wiped out crops. There was GURXJKW DQG SODJXHV RI JUDVVKRSSHUV WKDW JODGO\ ¿QLVKHG off the job. Crops failed. Income dropped by 90%.

May 1935 Relief Project # 44, Dundurn, Saskatchewan. Working on a railway grade.

Credit: The Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan “Sixty-six per cent of the rural population was forced onto relief.” (Canadian Encyclopedia). The Prairie Provinces were near bankruptcy after 1932.

Relief was what is called ‘Social Assistance’ today.

In the 1930s it was minimal and paid by the cities, villages and towns, not the Province. Churches also helped. A ‘social safety net’ did not exist. The Federal Government contributed a share between 1931 and 1936.

Phil Ackerman of Moose Jaw was from a large famRelief Project # 44, Dundurn, 1934. ily. He told me that when they lived at Fox Valley, SasCredit Saskatchewan Archives katchewan, he and his Dad worked on local road conCanada organized Federal Relief Camps under the struction to get Relief and enough money so he could get Department of National Defence. They operated like a new pair of work boots. military camps.

This created resentment and discontent Many older family members left home to look for among the men. work. They ‘rode the rails’, wandering across Canada.

For Example: “A (1932) May Day parade in Regina Many went to Vancouver. involved an estimated 10,000 participants and spectators, and resulted in scattered violence and nine arrests. In October, several hundred workers involved in a Regina relief project went on strike. On November 7, about eighty RCMP and city police dispersed a rally of unemployed in Saskatoon, which resulted in what the Canadian press called ‘the bloodiest riot ever seen in this city’”: (The Encyclopedia of Saskatchewan) As an alternative to the Relief Camps the unemployed could work a 44-hour week on a farm and be paid $5 a month.

Saskatchewan had 23 Relief Camps. The one at Dundurn housed 2,000 men.

These men are at Relief Camp #28 at Shamrock, Item 1.0144.05 - Relief Project # 44, Dundurn, SasSaskatchewan about 100 Km West of Moose Jaw on katchewan (Saskatchewan Archieves) Highway 363. They worked on highway construction In 1936 a Federal Liberal Government was elected to survive. and the Camps were phased out and unemployment support was organized. A total of 170,248 men ‘participated’ Reference: Item 1.0144.06 - Relief Camp #28, Shamrock, LQ WKH FDPSV RYHU WKH ¿YH \HDUV Saskatchewan; Provincial Archives of Saskatchewan RA7632(1) Relief Camps If you were male, poor, homeless and unemployed during the Great Depression you went to a Relief Camp.

You were fed, housed, given medical treatment, tobacco, work clothes and paid 20 cents a day. Hence the name, ‘Royal Twenty Centers’.

The Relief Camps were ‘sort of’ voluntary’. BUT – if you didn’t go and were caught homeless and broke you were charged with Vagrancy and sent to jail.

The Canadian Government began to worry about the number of unemployed young men travelling across Canada. Their worry was not out of concern for the men – but out of fear they would organize and create trouble for the Government.

(Someone forwarded this story to our publication and although we cannot cite it’s original title or don’t know who the author is, it is worth the read and possibly food for thought.)

Author Unknown Most people won’t take the time to read this all the way to the end. I hope that you will.

17 INCHES” - you will not regret reading this an excellent article to read from beginning to end. Twenty years ago, LQ 1DVKYLOOH 7HQQHVVHH GXULQJ WKH ¿UVW week of January, 1996, more than 4,000 baseball coaches descended upon the Opryland Hotel for the 52nd annual ABCA’s convention.

While I waited in line to register with the hotel staff, I heard other more veteran coaches rumbling about the lineup of speakers scheduled to present during the weekend. One name kept resurfacing, always with the same sentiment — “John Scolinos is here? Oh, man, worth every penny of my airfare.”

Who is John Scolinos, I wondered.

No matter; I was just happy to be there.

In 1996, Coach Scolinos was 78 years ROG DQG ¿YH \HDUV UHWLUHG IURP D FROOHJH coaching career that began in 1948. He VKXIÀHG WR WKH VWDJH WR DQ LPSUHVVLYH standing ovation, wearing dark polyester pants, a light blue shirt, and a string around his neck from which home plate hung — a full-sized, stark-white home plate.

Seriously, I wondered, who is this JX\" $IWHU VSHDNLQJ IRU WZHQW\ ¿YH PLQutes, not once mentioning the prop hanging around his neck, Coach Scolinos appeared to notice the snickering among some of the coaches. Even those who knew Coach Scolinos had to wonder exactly where he was going with this, or if he had simply forgotten about home plate since he’d gotWHQ RQ VWDJH 7KHQ ¿QDOO\ « “You’re probably all wondering why I’m wearing home plate around my neck,” he said, his voice growing irascible. I laughed along with the others, acknowledging the possibility. “I may be old, but I’m not crazy. The reason I stand before you today is to share with you baseball people what I’ve learned in my life, what I’ve learned about home plate in my 78

years.”

Several hands went up when Scolinos asked how many Little League coaches were in the room. “Do you know how wide home plate is in Little League?”

After a pause, someone offered, “Seventeen inches?”, more of a question than answer.

“That’s right,” he said. “How about in Babe Ruth’s day? Any Babe Ruth coaches in the house?” Another long pause.

“Seventeen inches?” a guess from another reluctant coach.

“That’s right,” said Scolinos. “Now, how many high school coaches do we have in the room?” Hundreds of hands shot up, as the pattern began to appear. “How wide is home plate in high school baseball?”

“Seventeen inches,” they said, soundLQJ PRUH FRQ¿GHQW “You’re right!” Scolinos barked.

“And you college coaches, how wide is home plate in college?”

“Seventeen inches!” we said, in unison.

“Any Minor League coaches here? How wide is home plate in pro ball?”............“Seventeen inches!”

“RIGHT! And in the Major Leagues, how wide home plate is in the Major Leagues? “Seventeen inches!”

“SEV-EN-TEEN INCHES!” he con¿UPHG KLV YRLFH EHOORZLQJ RII WKH ZDOOV “And what do they do with a Big League pitcher who can’t throw the ball over seventeen inches?” Pause. “They send him to Pocatello !” he hollered, drawing raucous laughter. “What they don’t do is this: they don’t say, ‘Ah, that’s okay, Jimmy. If you can’t hit a seventeen-inch target? We’ll make it eighteen inches or nineteen inches. We’ll make it twenty inches so you have a better chance of hitting it. If you can’t hit that, let us know so we can make LW ZLGHU VWLOO VD\ WZHQW\ ¿YH LQFKHV ¶´ 3DXVH ³&RDFKHV« ZKDW GR ZH GR when your best player shows up late to practice? or when our team rules forbid

facial hair and a guy shows up unshaven?

What if he gets caught drinking? Do we hold him accountable? Or do we change WKH UXOHV WR ¿W KLP" 'R ZH ZLGHQ KRPH plate? “ The chuckles gradually faded as four thousand coaches grew quiet, the fog lifting as the old coach’s message began to unfold. He turned the plate toward himself and, using a Sharpie, began to draw something. When he turned it toward the crowd, point up, a house was revealed, complete with a freshly drawn door and two windows. “This is the problem in our homes today. With our marriages, with the way we parent our kids. With our discipline.

We don’t teach accountability to our kids, and there is no consequence for failing to meet standards. We just widen the plate!”

Pause. Then, to the point at the top of the house he added a small American ÀDJ ³7KLV LV WKH SUREOHP LQ RXU VFKRROV today. The quality of our education is going downhill fast and teachers have been stripped of the tools they need to be successful, and to educate and discipline our young people. We are allowing others to widen home plate! Where is that getting us?”

6LOHQFH +H UHSODFHG WKH ÀDJ ZLWK a Cross. “And this is the problem in the Church, where powerful people in positions of authority have taken advantage of young children, only to have such an atrocity swept under the rug for years.

Our church leaders are widening home plate for themselves! And we allow it.”

“And the same is true with our government. Our so-called representatives make rules for us that don’t apply to themselves. They take bribes from lobbyists and foreign countries. They no longer serve us. And we allow them to widen home plate! We see our country falling into a dark abyss while we just watch.”

I was amazed. At a baseball conven-

tion where I expected to learn something about curve balls and bunting and how to run better practices, I had learned something far more valuable.

From an old man with home plate strung around his neck, I had learned something about life, about myself, about my own weaknesses and about my responsibilities as a leader. I had to hold myself and others accountable to that which I knew to be right, lest our families, our faith, and our society continue down an undesirable path.

“If I am lucky,” Coach Scolinos concluded, “you will remember one thing from this old coach today. It is this: “If we fail to hold ourselves to a higher standard, a standard of what we know to be right; if we fail to hold our spouses and our children to the same standards, if we are unwilling or unable to provide a consequence when they do not meet the standard; and if our schools & churches & our government fail to hold themselves accountable to those they serve, there is but RQH WKLQJ WR ORRN IRUZDUG WR «´ With that, he held home plate in front of his chest, turned it around, and revealed LWV GDUN EODFN EDFNVLGH ³«:H KDYH GDUN days ahead!.”

He is the best clinic speaker the ABCA has ever known because he was so much more than a baseball coach. His message was clear: “Coaches, keep your players—no matter how good they are—your own children, your churches, your government, and most of all, keep yourself at seventeen inches.”

And this my friends is what our country has become and what is wrong with it WRGD\ DQG QRZ JR RXW WKHUH DQG ¿[ LW “Don’t widen the plate.”

decide to sell or not.

“If you decide to sell after hearing the quote, great, but it’s also about information” says Burrill. “A lot of times people just need to know a ballpark price of what items are worth.

There is no obligation and we don’t pressure anyone into selling.” That’s what sets us apart from the Quebec buyers, and their claim to pay the highest prices.

Nearly half of the world’s annual gold harvest comes from recycled gold. Energy costs are about $500 to mine a new ounce of gold where recycled gold is about $10 per ounce. A result of this is gold and silver purchased at the shows and later smelted goes back into the market with a lower environmental impact.

Out-of-fashion jewellery, single earrings, broken chains, unloved jewelry, charm bracelets, dental gold, nuggets, fine gold and Sterling silver flatware sets are all accepted. Another valuable item is coins with silver content. Dimes, quarters, half dollars and dollars from Canada and America can be sorted and the silver content determined in no time at all. People are encouraged to bring in any and all coins for assessment.

TC Precious Metals can assess and purchase Canadian and Dominion of Canada paper money.
