New Salvation Army pastors eager to serve here after working in the Caribbean Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Salvation Army majors Clarence and Karen Ingram were enjoying retirement after spending a decade in the Caribbean when the orSpecialized in ganization phoned and asked if they wanted to lead operations in Energy Efficient Furnaces Moose Jaw. The Newfoundland-born, Cut Knife, Sask.-based couple — Custom Sheet Metal Work into year two of their retirement after spending nine years in the We Service ALL Makes and Models Bahamas and Jamaica — thought it over and decided they had the Always Fully Stocked! strength to shepherd The Friendly City’s activities.

“There was a need here … ,” said Mr. Ingram during a recent interview. “And it’s been a little while (since they worked), so it’s good to do something new.”

“We felt we had the energy enough to take on this appointment,” chuckled Mrs. Ingram. “But I must admit, it was hard to leave the grandchildren back in Cut Knife.”

Since the Ingrams are interim leaders, they won’t set any longterm goals for the Moose Jaw operations. Instead, they will maintain existing ministry activities and help residents continue those ministry opportunities.

The Ingrams have enjoyed Moose Jaw so far, and while the weather is “a little different” from the Caribbean, the people have been friendly and accepting, said Mr. Ingram. There is also plenty of ministering to do and people to help and encourage.

“It’s nice to get back after a couple of years of doing other things. Sometimes it’s good to have a little break after 34 years of continuous service,” he chuckled.

The Ingrams have a daughter in Regina, so the few times they visited her, they also stopped in Moose Jaw to do tourist things like seeing the tunnels and spa, said Mrs. Ingram.

“And I’m sure there is other stuff out there to do, so I’m looking forward to just coming downtown, walking around and getting to know the place,” she added.

“We both enjoy walking, so we’re looking forward to that opportunity to not be in the car (but) to get on our feet and explore — because we’re adventurous people.”

“You have to be adventurous when you spend nine years in the Caribbean,” chuckled Mr. Ingram.

Teddy Bears Anonymous to hold ‘Jump for Charity’ event Sept. 2 and 9

Members of the RCMP, Regina Police Service, and the CEO of Sherwood Co-op will skydive in support of sick children Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express / MooseJawToday.com On Saturday, Sept. 2nd, two Saskatchewan RCMP Constables and the CEO of the Sherwood Co-op will jump out of a plane at the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport.

On the following Saturday, Sept. 9th, three members of the Regina Police Service will do the same.

The purpose of the bold leap is to raise funds in support of Teddy Bears Anonymous (TBA), which has partnered with the RCMP and local police services to help the Jim Pattison Children’s HospiWDO LQ 6DVNDWRRQ 7KLV LV WKH ¿UVW \HDU WKH skydiving event is taking place, and TBA hopes to make it an annual tradition.

Partnered with Skydive South Sask, both jumps will take place at the Moose Jaw Municipal Airport, and both are scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on their respective days.

The event is planned on two separate days for good reason: a friendly competition is currently underway between two teams to see who can raise more money for the cause. Each weekend gives a team the recognition they deserve for their efforts.

Pool A includes two RCMP Constables, one from the Southey Detachment and another all the way from Ahtahkakoop Detachment in Northern Saskatchewan.

As well, the CEO of Sherwood Co-op Troy Verboom will be jumping alongside them.

Pool B includes three members of the Regina Police Service who will be jumping in full uniform.

The competition is close, with Pool A gaining a slight lead at $2,305 raised and Pool B isn’t far behind at $2,138.

The combined goal set by TBA is to raise $5,000, and with a dedicated effort the tal-

Luke Lawrence, the president of 7%$ VDLG WKH ¿JXUH LV UHDVRQable, but there is no upward limit to how much the two pools can raise. “Ideally, we would like to raise $15,000 which is probably not going to happen. The reason we picked $15,000 is because this is our 15th anniversary,” said Lawrence.

TBA oversees the manufacture of medical-grade teddy bears, which children can take with them into operating rooms, their hospital beds, and along for rides with EMS teams. The bears are factory sealed, SHA (Saskatchewan Health Authority) approved, and don provincial green hospital scrubs to help children feel a sense of comfort while undergoing treatment.

To date, Lawrence said the charity has delivered 190,000 teddy bears to children

‘Brain Boogie’ fundraiser for brain injury association set for Aug. 27 Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

The Saskatchewan Brain Injury Association (SBIA) is holding its annual Brain %RRJLH ZDON UXQ GDQFH IXQGUDLVHU DW ¿YH locations across the province, with the Moose Jaw event taking place in Crescent Park on Sunday, Aug. 27 at 10 a.m.

The event is open to all, with a lunch to follow and donated prizes for participants. Registration for the Brain Boogie is through SBIA.ca, and prize donations will be accepted up until the event.

“The annual Brain Boogie is important for a few reasons,” said SBIA executive director Glenda James. “Firstly, it’s our major fundraiser. Many people are under the delusion that the social safety net in this country will completely take care of everyone, and it doesn’t, at least not the way they think it does. So, we need to fundraise in order to continue to offer our programs and services.”

With the money they raise, the SBIA is able to hold exercise, walking, drumming, coffee and conversation, and other social groups for brain injury survivors in six cities across the province.

“Our programs help people develop a new community, because unfortunately when an accident happens, there’s this initial gathering that happens in the hospital, but then everyone moves on with their lives. And for the person who now has an acquired brain injury, their life could have changed pretty drastically and it could be years before they get out of rehab. By that time, their sense of community and friendships are often pretty distant.”

James said the Brain Boogie event, aside from fundraising, is also an important community gathering for anyone

cussions, for example, most people remain unaware of how easy it is to acquire a brain injury — and how profoundly such injuries can change lives.

All it takes is a slip, a fall, a hit, or a crash. Some people don’t even hit their heads, but fall in such a way that they sustain brain trauma anyway. Others are merely roughhousing with family or friends and bump their heads at a funny angle — only to discover they’ve injured themselves in a way that requires permanent lifestyle adjustments.

“The whole attitude towards little kids in sports, for example, has changed, because we realize that [blows to the head are] not healthy. It’s really a matter of raising awareness, just like in sports. Players used to say casually, ‘Oh, I just got my bell rung,’ and now we understand more about what that actually does.

“So, we hope to have lots of people out to join us for this Brain Boogie walk in Crescent Park.”

The 2nd annual ‘Touch a Truck’ event to be held September 9 Bring your kids to the Moose Jaw Events Centre and interact with some of the coolest equipment in the community Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express / MooseJawToday.com As an adult, you likely remember the childhood feeling of awe whenever an emergency vehicle would race by heroically with sirens blaring.

On Saturday, September 9, you can revisit this childhood curiosity and bring your kids to the second annual Touch a Truck event held at the Moose Jaw Events Centre. At the event, children will see a wide variety of vehicles, climb aboard, and meet the people who operate them.

The event runs from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. and admission is free for families with children eight years old or younger.

The event is different from a car show in that it allows you to interact with the vehicles, rather than having them on static display. From loader buckets curling to engines revving and sirens blaring, children can see how various equipment works and even honk the horn and turn on the sirens.

To enhance learning, there will be fun and interactive games on site and children who attend will be given a free book, courtesy of the resource centre.

“The drivers were awesome last year at planning little things to do. For example, the ambulance driver would invite the kids to lie down so they get an experience on what it might be like,” said Christine Boyczuk, the literacy coordinator at the resource centre.

Attendees will have a concession and craft tables available, but it’s best to call in DGYDQFH IRU FRQ¿UPDWLRQ RQ YHQGLQJ RS-

Lunch will be provided to registrants who are attending their vehicle by the event organizers. Registrants are also reminded that this is the perfect opportunity to bring promotional material including pamphlets, wearables, and other merchandise to help promote their organization.

If you’re looking to register, categories include emergency and military vehicles, commercial and construction equipment, farm equipment, and any unique, rare, or novelty vehicles.

Event organizers also wish to remind parents that children who attend must be accompanied by an adult.

The Touch a Truck event is sponsored by the Moose Jaw and District Early Years Coalition (MJEYC). MJEYC is a collaboration of numerous agencies that serve to address the needs of local children.

With sadness I want to share a little about my recently deceased friend, the legendary Tex Emery.

At the onset of the Moose Jaw Express approximately 14 years ago, I was the one-and-only…reporter, photographer, editor and joe-girl; whatever was needed in the editorial department was up to me.

At that time, there were a few very special individuals that I had a chance to meet that lived their life in the limelight; Tex was

TEX EMERY LEGENDARY MAN ON THE STEEL GUITAR

Joan Ritchie EDITOR

The views and opinions expressed in this article are those of the author, and do QRW QHFHVVDULO\ UHÀHFW WKH position of this publication.

(First published in Sept, 2010)

By Joan Ritchie

I’ve got to tell you that I’ve never been too keen on cowboy ideology, but when it comes down to that good old country guitar music, my mind fondly races back to those years as a kid when my dad used to play guitar and sing all of the favourite Hank Snow tunes; and Hank Williams; and Patsy Cline, and…

That’s why this day was so special! I had the extreme pleasure of spending part of the afternoon with a steel guitar legend that has had a career spanning about 64 years [up to 2010] in the music business and there’s no stopping him. When I asked what brought him to Moose Jaw, he wryly commented, “I heard that gossip gets around quick here.”

Tex Emery has been a resident of Moose Jaw for many years with his roots set deep in this Saskatchewan soil, being born in Stockholm, Saskatchewan in 1930 and just this week, on September 6, 2010, celebrated his 80th birthday. With a deep kindness in his eyes and humbleness in his voice, one can surely see why this man “has always been respected and loved.” In fact, Tex told me that he doesn’t consider himself a celebrity but has worked with many big name stars.

He actually shied away from dropping names but as I prompted, he complied.

The music he magically produces spans all genres, from country, jazz, blues, rock, Hawaiian, to even working with a symphony orchestra.

His history reveals the true gem of a man he really is and the creative steel guitar playing that has made him a noteZRUWK\ ¿JXUH LQ WKH PXVLF LQGXVWU\ He again admits that he had a very humble upbringing and his capabilities ‘are a God-given talent’ where he was self-taught in playing steel guitar. At an early age, he played professionally with Stu Davis and then went on to play with a PDMRU ¿JXUH LQ WKH KLVWRU\ RI FRXQWU\ PXsic, Hank Snow; where they performed together for King George. The following

year, Tex played the Calgary Stampede with Wilf Carter.

As I continued to pry, he added that he had done a few shows with “Chet Atkins at the Grand Ole Opry and worked with the highly respected and sought after Jordanaires that backed up Patsy Cline and Elvis.” In the late 40’s he did a show with the singing cowboy, Gene Autry. :KDW D PDJQL¿FHQW SRUWIROLR When asked if there were any musicians or circumstances that he fondly remembers, it didn’t take him long to tell me about his times working with the jazz guitar legend Lenny Breau. He told me that “Lenny was one of the greatest that I have ever worked with.” Chet Atkins once told the other musicians, “When Lenny Breau’s in the room, put your guitars away and don’t embarrass yourselves.”

Playing for a few years with the late Don Ho, the breezy island entertainer, spurred on his affection for Hawaiian music and he continues to lay down his beautiful renditions of some great classics like ‘Harbour Lights’ and ‘Beyond the Reef’.

Playing with some of the old time Canadian greats like Don Messer and Tommy Hunter have also been noteworthy.

Tex was disappointed that he wasn’t able to perform with the ‘Trailer Park Boys’ and had to pass on starring in the movie because of illness. He has also made his mark playing with the local Rusty Augers and Men without Shame.

A musical connection from the past decade, acoustic instrumentalist and vocalist George Longard from Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, has been Emery’s recording buddy and together they have passionately recorded about 200 of Hank Snow’s numbers. He confesses that it is very unusual because “no one has ever done that before.”

Even up to recently, George Longard and Tex Emery are very popular overseas and have made the #1 and #6 on the hit

I met Tex in 2010 when I did a personal interview with him regarding his career as a famous steel guitar player. It turned out to be the start of a very wonderful friendship over the years. Alongside is the original version of the article with a few minor edits.

Tex made an imprint on my heart because of his quirky sense of humour and loving nature. He will be sadly missed by everyone who knew him.

I was so fortunate to have my own personal concert by this great musician.

He admits it takes years to develop the skills needed to play but he also takes pride in his creative inventions like the 20 string pedal- less steel guitar and some of the unique tools and techniques he uses to alter the musical sounds.

[A few days following on Thursday, September 9th, 2010, Tex performed with Brenda Lee Cottrell – a great country music performer who continues to this day in 2023 to perform the legendary ladies of past decades, including Patsy Cline and many others.]

I could continue to tout the praises of this exceptional “man on the steel guitar” who was the 2007 Western Canadian Music Legend’s Recipient, so I will as I recall the scripture that says, “Give honour to whom honour is due” and rightfully so, this man Tex Emery is very deserving of all the accolades he [has received].

In conversation, Tex also relayed a time that he spent at the Stan Rogers Festival on the east coast, reminiscing about when he and folksinger Valdy shared the stage together and after the production, Valdy got up and said, “How come side men like Tex get a standing ovation and front men like me don’t?” Therefore, the crowd was prompted to stand and give Valdy an appreciative applause, as heartily as they had given Tex Emery.

This is the third workshop that Helland has facilitated, after bringing Greek mixed-media artist Antonis Tzanidakis for two visits. She enjoys chatting with and getting to know artists during workshops.

Shokar is a self-taught artist originally from Budapest, Hungary. She now lives in British Columbia and has her own brand at pipartcreations.com. Shokar’s sister, who lives in the UK, has a brand called DaliART and together they have the brand, ShokART. Shokar’s art is meant to have multiple valid interpretations, and she believes crafting is a form of entertainment with limitless possibilities.

“Pip makes her own line, so she creates her own designs with stamps and stencils, paper, and other mediums,” Mixed-media artist and teacher Pip Helland explained. “And it isn’t always Shokar. Photo courtesy Denise Helland

Provincial Court Report:

Judge orders psychiatric test to learn whether accused is responsible for alleged actions Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

A provincial court judge has ordered a psychiatric assessment for a Moose Jaw man accused of attempted murder to determine whether he is criminally responsible and what his mental state was during his alleged offence.

Myles Reichel appeared recently in Moose Jaw Provincial Court, with defence lawyer Merv Nidesh representing him. Reichel is accused of attempted murder and assault from an incident that occurred in southern Moose Jaw on July 24.

Nidesh explained that he and Crown prosecutor Rob Parker have been working on this matter and are seeking a psychiatric assessment order that considers the fact Reichel is out on bail; such assessments typically happen when an accused is in custody.

The Crown agreed on July 25 to Reichel’s release from custody and placed him on several conditions; if he disobeys them, he could be placed in jail until his next court appearance.

Continuing, the defence lawyer said he has learned two provincial psychiatrists in Regina can conduct RXW RI FXVWRG\ DVVHVVPHQWV ZLWK RQH RI¿FLDO DEOH WR come to Moose Jaw to speak with Reichel.

Filling out the assessment request document is a

“matter of ticking off the boxes,” while making the arrangements “is a work in progress” or “chicken and the egg” scenario since the defence and Crown need the order to make the arrangement, Nidesh said.

“My client has already … (indicated) that if it accommodates the two psychiatrists to go into Regina, he’ll go into Regina,” the defence lawyer added. “That’s WKH EHQH¿W RI EHLQJ RXW RI FXVWRG\ KH¶V LQ D SRVLWLRQ WR do whatever is needed.”

Parker agreed, saying the Crown needs an adjournment date for these matters — typically 30 days after a judge makes the order — and the date the judge approved the assessment order so he can complete a referral form and submit his and Nidesh’s to court services.

The prosecutor noted that Reichel would not be remanded to the Saskatchewan Hospital in North Battleford, a venue typically housing people with psychological issues.

would assess both factors.

The judge then agreed to order the psychological assessment under section 672.12 of the Criminal Code.

“I appreciate the heavy lifting the lawyers have done (with this case),” Hendrickson said, adding he would adjourn the matter to Thursday, Sept. 14, so both parties could submit their referral forms and Reichel could be assessed.

According to a news release, the Moose Jaw Police Service received a call about a disturbance on the south side of the community at 3:16 p.m. on July 24.

Upon arrival, police located an adult male in a residence who required medical attention after sustaining head trauma. EMS transported the male to the Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital before taking him to the Regina General Hospital for further medical care.

The male remains in serious condition.

It was 3:30 a.m. on July 8 when a resident who lived above The Wandering Market heard strange noises coming from the building’s rear, so he went to investigate.

To his surprise, he found a face mask-wearing Braeden McKenzie entering the building through the overhead door window. The tenant grabbed a shovel and attempted to fend off the intruder, but McKenzie gained access and began chasing the man and attacked him.

The police eventually arrived and arrested the 21-year-old Moose Jaw man.

“The police do indicate that Mr. McKenzie did have minor injuries related to the physical altercation when he was arrested; however, he did not require any medical attention,” Crown prosecutor Rob Parker said recently while reading the facts in Moose Jaw Provincial Court.

“The police also … seized a crowbar (near the scene), which he had in his possession while he was still outside the building. But he did not take it into the building with him, so it was not used in any way as part of the assault.”

Three months earlier, on April 13, police responded to a disturbance at the Moose Jaw Public Library where

they found a senior standing in the lobby with blood dripping from his nose, Parker continued.

The man told police he was in a bathroom at the library when McKenzie and a friend began pounding on the door, telling him to hurry, but he told them that he had just entered the washroom.

“Mr. McKenzie began yelling and became agitated.

When (the victim) exited the bathroom, he was slapped on the side of the face by McKenzie,” said Parker.

This slap caused the man’s glasses to fall off his face, while the nose pad dug into his skin and caused slight bleeding on the side of his nose, the Crown prosecutor continued, adding McKenzie also breached his probation twice between June and December 2022.

During McKenzie’s court appearance, he pleaded guilty to two counts of breaching his probation, assaulting the man at the library, and breaking into The Wandering Market.

The Crown stayed four other charges.

As part of a joint submission, McKenzie will spend 120 days — or four months — in jail, including 90 days for the break-in, 30 days consecutive for the assault, and

14 days concurrent for the two breaches.

McKenzie had spent 40 days in custody after his July 8 arrest, so the court credited him with 60 days served. Therefore, he has 60 days left in jail.

Following jail, he will spend 12 months on probation and must follow conditions such as keep the peace and be of good behaviour, take programming or treatment, visit a mental health specialist, and inform his proEDWLRQ RI¿FHU RI WKRVH PHHWLQJV DQG DQ\ PHGLFDWLRQV KH must take.

Legal Aid lawyer Suzanne Jeanson explained that McKenzie faces several challenges, including mental illness and addictions, with crystal meth his “drug of choice.” However, he has been sober for the past four months after being put on medication while in hospital.

Moreover, he has sustained his recovery on remand and is putting together a plan to remain healthy, she added. Also, his parents will support him during his probation.

Judge Darren Chow accepted the joint submission and agreed to waive the victim surcharge.

It’s been over a year since Holden Elija Nowell’s charges were laid, and with very little progress made on resolving the issues, a judge has expressed his frustration with the “lengthy” delays.

Nowell and his lawyer appeared by phone recently in Moose Jaw Provincial Court, with Judge Daryl Rayner asking for an explanation about why very little had happened to resolve this situation since Nowell’s arrest on July 7, 2022, where police charged him with two FRXQWV RI REVWUXFWLQJ D SHDFH RI¿FHU DQG RQH FRXQW RI

nary hearings and trials into January since the autumn is nearly full.

The defence lawyer explained the delays from his perspective, noting he would probably bring forward pre-trial Charter motions because of the actions police allegedly took when arresting Nowell. The lawyer claimed that police allegedly pepper sprayed his client, with some spray supposedly hitting a child in the vehicle.

Meanwhile, the lawyer said he used different computers, operating systems and online audio-visual players to watch the videos but was unsuccessful every time. :KHQ WKLV ¿OH ODVW DSSHDUHG LQ -XO\ WKH H[SHFWDWLRQ was that the defence would enter pleas for Nowell because of the length and time it had been in court, Rayner said.

“I will not go against what I said. If you don’t enter a plea, the court will enter a plea (on your behalf),” Rayner stated, with the defence lawyer then entering nonguilty pleas and suggesting it would take two days for the preliminary hearing.

The judge agreed to set Nov. 22 to hear the pre-trial Charter motions, while he set Sept. 11 as the date when the court would schedule the actual trial — likely in early 2024.

“The court has a responsibility to ensure things move along (quickly based on past federal case law) … so the delay does not become unreasonably lengthy,” Judge Rayner added. “I’m happy to hear both counsels will work to resolve this matter so we use everybody’s time in the best possible fashion.”

Provincial Court Report:

Judge gives perpetual pickpocket seven months of jail Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Growing up with parents who attended residential schools and dealing with addiction as an adult are two reasons Crystal McGillis has spent much of her life stealing from people and businesses.

That life of thievery, however, is also why she has been sentenced to jail several times.

Appearing recently in Moose Jaw Provincial Court, McGillis, 43, pleaded guilty to three breaches of probation, theft of several phones, stealing a purse, fraudulently using a credit card, twice failing to attend court, looting a resident’s items, purloining items from Temple *DUGHQV 0LQHUDO 6SD WDNLQJ D WRXULVW¶V SURSHUW\ VZLSing items from Cobb’s Cobblery, and stealing a bike.

The Crown stayed 13 other charges.

In a joint submission, McGillis will spend the next 210 days — seven months — behind bars. This includes 150 days for stealing from a resident, 60 days consecutive for breaching probation, 90 days concurrent for another theft and fraud, and 60 days concurrent for other breaches.

Memories of the way we were, or how we think we were Certain times of the year lend themselves to fond memories of days gone by, to nostalgic recollections of the way we were, or at least how we remember the way we were.

Our family planted a huge garden, with the produce preserved to keep us fed during the harsh winter months.

The pea patch was particularly impressive, and a wonderful place to visit when the pods showed signs of being UHDG\ IRU WKH ¿UVW VDPSOLQJ 6WDQGLQJ WKHUH LQ WKH SDWFK ¿QGLQJ WKH SHUIHFWO\ ¿OOHG pods was a child’s delight, even though I was admonished not to eat too many or I would go hungry in the winter.

Of course I didn’t listen as I knew the parents would never allow anyone in their home to go hungry. But I carefully hid the evidence of the number of pea pods I sampled. What better place to stash the opened pods was in the pockets of my homemade trousers. The pockets, as I recall, were deep and wide and concealed many secrets.

But I should have remembered to empty the pockets and bury the evidence down the outhouse hole. But being so delighted with my snack, and wanting to get on to another adventure, those pockets were not emptied — until wash day when they were turned inside out to make sure a nose tissue wouldn’t end up in the washing machine.

Of course I pled not guilty when confronted with the evidence. And despite my guilt, I don’t recall going hungry that winter. Dad laughed, and so did Mom when she thought I wasn’t around to hear her tell the story.

Of course I was punished: I had to KHOS VKHOO SHDV WKDW ¿OOHG VHYHUDO ROG IDVKLRQHG ZDVK WXEV 6QHDNLQJ D SHD KHUH DQG there while completing this task wasn’t nearly as much fun as hanging out in the garden.

Now many years later, I am allergic

to raw peas and while they taste pleasant when cooked, I glare at Housemate as he eats his raw peas for a between-meal snack and then also helps eat the ones I have cooked. It just isn’t fair, my inner child laments.

Riding down the school hill was a dare-devil stunt for all of us, and riding in the newly-laid gravel on the town streets was a challenge, but not too much of one to keep a group of us from riding and riding and riding.

In today’s world someone might come along and help themselves to our bikes, left as they were in our yards, unguarded by tall fences and locked sheds. My bike came indoors when it rained and when we left home to a trek to the city, but all other times it was safe in our yard.

Or so we thought: we came home from a church function one evening and my bike was missing from where it always stood, propped against the clothesline pole in the back yard. We scoured the yard, the neighbours’ yards, ditches and sloughs in a wide radius of the yard. And I cried.

We called CHAB and had an announcement put on the Mailbag about my missing bike. That didn’t get my bike back home, but when Dad made it known he was going to call the police to report it stolen, the culprit must have decided he’d rather not go to jail.

Imagine that.

Back then we didn’t have call display

but we recognized the voice of the caller. And then his cousin ratted him out. He never personally confessed to us, but he was unusually friendly after that and he did teach me a lesson: keep my bike in the house to keep it safe from bully boys.

I wanted to chat with him about my bike episode at our community school re-

union a few years ago but I couldn’t bring myself to open the conversation on that note. He nodded politely and kept his distance. I wonder why?

CITY HALL COUNCIL NOTES

THE NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING IS MONDAY, AUG 28.

The Caribou Heights outdoor sports complex has been known by that name for over 30 years, but a new community partnership means that venue will now be known as the Kinsmen Sports Complex.

The Kinsmen Moose Jaw Minor Football League approached city hall in June about forming a partnership with the Kinsmen Club to upgrade the Caribou Heights outdoor sports grounds — built in the 1980s, including Elks Field and Eddy Moore Park — with modern infrastructure.

The agreement is for 25 years and commences Sept.

New partnership sees Caribou Heights sports complex renamed after Kinsmen Club Jason G. Antonio - Moose Jaw Express

Total venue upgrades will cost $225,000, with $100,000 coming from the Kinsmen Club, $30,000 from minor football and $95,000 from the city.

City hall will allocate $60,000 of the Kinsmen Club’s donation to this year’s general capital reserve and $40,000 to next year’s account. Furthermore, it will split minor football’s donation in the 2023 and 2024 general capital reserves.

The parks and recreation department will also increase this year’s general parks upgrade capital budget by $75,000 using money from both parties.

While the venue will have a new name, Elks Field will retain its moniker because the city signed an agreement with the Moose Jaw Elks in 1988 for $112,500.

Eddy Moore Park will also remain because council approved its new name in January.

The main sports complex upgrades include: - $65,000 for new LED lights at Elks Field; completion in 2024 - $65,000 for new aluminum bleachers at Elks Field; completion in 2024 - $75,000 for three new scoreboards; completion in 2024 - $15,000 for building upgrades; completion in 2024 - $3,000 for washroom upgrades; completion by this fall - $2,000 to remove old tower at Elks Field; completion by this fall

CITY HALL COUNCIL NOTES

THE NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING IS MONDAY, AUG 28.

City council has approved two bylaw amendments that deal with Viterra Inc.’s grain terminal upgrade project and zoning changes to land in Wakamow Valley.

Council gave three unanimous readings to both bylaws during its Aug. 14 regular meeting. Since there was no dissent, the amendments went into effect immediately.

Viterra upgrade project The agriculture company plans to install a 12,500foot double-loop track north of the terminal — and into an adjacent pasture — that can accommodate 144 CanaGLDQ 3DFL¿F 5DLOZD\ &35 KLJK FDSDFLW\ FDUV DQG WKUHH locomotives as part of the $18-million project.

The company estimates each road closure will last 24 to 36 hours and occur 25 to 40 times a year. It will need a street closure permit from city hall each time, while it will install detour signage and inform area residents beforehand.

Council passed an amended street and lane closure bylaw on April 24 to facilitate the subdivision, sale and consolidation of the affected streets and intersections, a council report explained.

The company hired a land surveyor to undertake the subdivision process and began registering the consolida-

ISC rejected the consolidation plan because the city’s previous bylaw change referenced the old extension numbers, which meant an updated bylaw amendment to the previous bylaw amendment was required so ISC would accept the newly created extension numbers.

Wakamow Valley parcel A parcel of land in Wakamow Valley being used to produce hay has been rezoned so it falls within one zoning category instead of several different ones and ensures its agricultural use can continue.

Out-of-scope staff at city hall who cover another employee’s vacation or leave usually receive a temporary 20-per-cent pay bump, but an updated policy will decrease that number to eight per cent.

The human resources department reviews its policies regularly to ensure they remain current, and during a recent review of the out-of-scope temporary assignment policy, the department determined updates were needed to address certain issues.

CITY HALL COUNCIL NOTES

THE NEXT REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING IS MONDAY, AUG 28.

The City of Moose Jaw’s investment portfolios gained more than $1.2 million during this year’s second quarter, a decrease of nearly $3 million from the previous quarter.

During city council’s Aug. 14 regular meeting, the investment committee presented a report dealing with the second-quarter results.

In comparison, as of March 31, those numbers were $74,527,829.86, $25,507,685.20 and $100,035,515.06, respectively.

While this increased the portfolio to $24,751,939.23, because of a planned withdrawal of $670,418 during the quarter, the portfolio’s total value was lower than the Q1 value.

She explained that the municipality’s investment policy is based on a long-term timeline, which allows the city to weather short-term downturns in the market, as happened last year.

It’s good for residents to know how much the portfolios have produced since inception, their annual returns, and the equivalent municipal tax increases because many people think the city should spend that money in one shot, said Coun. Heather Eby. However, what they fail to recognize is the value those portfolios bring to the municipality annually, which ensures council doesn’t have to increase taxes by higher amounts, she continued.

“That money will work for us for eternity … or as long as the City of Moose Jaw exists,” Eby added with a chuckle.

“It’s been very exciting and … a little bit of a whirlwind, but I like it like that,” she added.

Carmichael created a busy schedule when she started to help her understand what municipal administration is about, what Moose Jaw is about, and departments’ daily operations.

City hall operations In particular, she meets with directors, managers and staff from each department each week to learn about what they do and their responsibilities.

“I don’t want to arrive here and either change everything or not change anything.

Behind the scenes Carmichael has found that each department has something interesting to offer. For example, she visited the wastewater treatment plant and other water- and sewer-related venues to learn about those behind-the-scenes activities that residents take for granted — such as how clean drinking water is produced.

Furthermore, she learned about what parks and rec

Communications The city manager started a professional Facebook SDJH LQ KHU ¿UVW ZHHN ² VKH KDV URXJKO\ IROORZHUV — to give residents a look at the “unique perspective” of her position. She regularly posts pictures of her visits with staff and the events she attends.

Furthermore, she believes the page is a great way to communicate with residents differently and to reach a different segment of the population.

“I update it (the page). It doesn’t take too, too long.

It comes from the heart,” Carmichael said, adding with a laugh, “I’m struggling, though, on what to publish for the ¿QDQFH GHSDUWPHQW ´ ,QÀDWLRQDU\ SUHVVXUHV 2QH LVVXH DIIHFWLQJ 0RRVH -DZ LV LQÀDWLRQ ZKLFK has driven up costs for everything from driving to grocery shopping, Carmichael said.

“So that’s certainly, for me, at the top of my priorities to look at the city budget and see what we can do,” she continued.

Carmichael believes the city can still pursue its 20-year replacement timeline even with this reduction because it can increase construction in the future. She acknowledged that while the average number of metres replaced per year has declined, it will take roughly 4,000 metres per year to replace the full 82 kilometres of cast iron pipes.

“That is certainly a decision that will need to be made in the fall as well,” she added.

A rewarding time It’s been rewarding for Carmichael during the past three months to guide Moose Jaw at an administrative level, especially after spending eight years in the corporate world and more than a decade in the military.

Homestand ’23: Jordyn Pollard releases new single ahead of Moose Jaw concert Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Saskatchewan country music artist Jordyn Pollard is fast building a career based on her positive, authentic, infectiously energetic personality, numerous festival appearances, and regular releases, with her latest song “Single at A Wedding” hitting streaming services Aug. 25.

Pollard is from Lloydminster, Sask, and is not quite 22 (her birthday is in September). Nevertheless, like many musically talented individuals, she got her start early and is already an experienced professional. ³3URIHVVLRQDOO\ LW¶V EHHQ DERXW ¿YH RU VL[ \HDUV EXW , ¿UVW VWDUWHG SHUIRUPLQJ live when I was around 11 or 12, at open mic nights and festivals and things,” Pollard said during an interview with MooseJawToday.com (including a special livestreamed performance featuring “Single at a Wedding”!). “And now my career has grown to what it is today, where I’m releasing my own music and having shows and playing at even more festivals. It’s been a wild ride.”

Pollard will appear alongside Corb Lund, the Mike Plume Band, and Lindi Ortega on September 9 for the Homestand ’23 concert in Ross Wells Ballpark in Moose Jaw. This will be the third edition of Homestand, a homegrown charity concert that includes a pre-concert livestream of the yearly Banjo Bowl football game, food trucks, local vendors, and some of Canada’s most-loved musical acts.

“And Corb Lund, I’ve actually opened for him previously in Vermillion, Alberta, which was such a fun time.”

Pollard shared a cool connection between RSP and her latest song: “Single at a Wedding” was written by Phil Barton, who played at RSP’s Music Row at the Mae last April. Pollard made a surprise appearance at that concert and sang “Back to Us” — written by Victoria Banks, another

musician at Music Row at the Mae. “I actually met Phil at the Canadian Country Music Awards in Saskatoon in like, 2017, I want to say, and he was playing guitar backing up one of my all-time favourite songwriters, Liz Rose. And he’s signed to her publishing team, and ever since I met him and Liz, he’s kind of kept in touch.

“And about two years ago, he messaged me and said, ‘I’m coming to play in Moose Jaw.’ And I said, ‘Well, that’s not actually very close to me, but I’ll come.’

And I got in touch with [RSP co-founder Jared Mathieson] and mentioned that Victoria Banks had written my single ‘Back to Us,’ which was my highest-charting single so far.”

Pollard ended up on stage at the Mae Wilson for that event and performed with Banks and fellow surprise guest Ty Hunter of the Hunter Brothers. She also met Joel Stewart, another CMT veteran and RSP co-founder, which led to recording the music video for “Love Letter” with him in Moose Jaw. “And then a few months ago, Phil sent me a pitch for this song ‘Single at a Wedding’ and I decided to record it. So, yeah, very full circle,” she laughed.

Although her career is on the rise and life/business can get frantic, Pollard strives

to balance music with other pursuits, both for personal growth and to stay mentally healthy. She said making time for family and friends is just as important to her as her music, and she is currently studying for a bachelor’s degree in psychology through Athabasca University. One day, she might open a counseling business targeted at professional musicians. ³,¶P GH¿QLWHO\ QRW DW WKDW OHYHO ZKHUH people look at me and think my life is ‘so glamorous,’” she said, “but once you start meeting a lot of the big stars that you grew up loving and looking up to, you start to get a glimpse of that truth that, you know, everybody struggles.

“I had a really awesome psychology teacher in high school who know how to bring the ideas to life, so that’s probably where my love of psychology started. I’m also a lover of people, I’m such an extrovert. … I think a lot of people push a lot aside, and I think it’s more important to bring these things to light. With the music industry, it’s just so go-go-go and there’s all these expectations. Seeing my friends struggle, feeling myself struggle, that’s kind of where that idea came from.”

One of her favourite things about being a musician is performing live, meeting people, and giving back. She recently brought a young fan on stage with her at the Gateway Festival in Bengough, giving her an opportunity that Pollard noted would have thrilled her at that age.

“It’s so incredible to be able to give another person an experience that I would have loved,” she said. “If I was young and had like, McKenzie Porter, or … Megan Nash, when you go to their show, have them invite you up on stage, I know I would have just loved that.

“Having young kids come up to me and tell me that they like my song, or getting to go dance with them after the show, I think that’s probably the biggest highlight of performing for me.”

Don’t miss Pollard’s appearance at Homestand ’23 in Moose Jaw on Sep. 9, where she will start off the show at 5:30.

Remote B.C. gold mining town faced ups and downs through the years In 1898, a man called Burgess convinced 68 men to pay him to take them by ship to the Northwestern Coast of B.C. to make their fortune panning placer gold.

When night fell, he snuck the ship out of the natural harbour stranding the men.

None of the 68 found any worthwhile gold from panning. One ventured into the mountains and found a hard rock gold deposit.

That started the boom and bust economy of Stewart over 120 years ago.

Today the town of 500 pins hope on the Ascot mine, which will start production in early 2024.

Other mines have work camps on site or transport workers in and out. The town believes Ascot wants employees to live in Stewart.

Situated in a rainforest, the town has developed a logging industry with logs shipped out by truck or from the port via the 60-mile long channel to the ocean.

The northernmost year-round B.C. port of Stewart also handles bulk ore from facilities built for the Granduc copper mine over 50 years ago.

Tourism drives the local economy as well.

While beautiful, nestled at tidewater between two mountains, life in Stewart can be challenging.

The average snowfall is 10 feet a year. Most houses

have a steeply pitched roof to make pushing snow easier.

Grizzly and black bear wander into town all the time. Residents have a telephone tree. If one sees a bear in town within minutes, everyone in town gets an alert by phone.

The town had a restoration program in the 1990s that rejuvenated many of the old buildings on Main Street.

About one-quarter of 356 buildings are vacant. Most are houses in the 1960s subdivision built by Granduc.

On our visit, Chris Svab wanted to see the old Granduc house where they lived. His old home is now a forest with 35-foot high trees — one of four blocks that is gone.

A paved road leads from the Yellowhead highway to Stewart.

When Chris came here in 1967, vehicles were transported by barge. When he left a gravel road led south with a one-lane bridge over the Nass River.

Homestand ‘23: Mike Plume Band reunites post-pandemic for a Prairie tour Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

The Mike Plume Band comes to Moose Jaw on September 9th for the Homestand ’23 concert, bringing more than three decades of signature roots/rock/country sound, and a band that’s been together since the start.

The Homestand concert series is now in its third year. It is the primary focus of local charity group River Street Promotions (RSP). Proceeds from the concert, held each year at Ross Wells ballpark, go to the RSP fund, which supports and enables programming for youth mental wellness in the Prairie South and Holy Trinity Catholic school divisions.

“I’m vividly aware of what Homestand is all about, and of the organizers,” Mike Plume told MooseJawToday. com. “You know, James Murdock, Jared Mathieson, and that whole crew, working away like crazy people. I’ve worked with them before when they had, what was it, Nashville night or something, at the Mae Wilson back in 2018, when they were raising money for the hospital.

“If you can play for a cause and shine a light on people in need, how can that ever be a bad thing?”

Plume is, in fact, a Moose Jaw regular, and has played at the Mae Wilson almost every year since 2018. He loves the city and said none of his regular fans will be surprised to hear it.

“I’ve been quite adamant about my opinions of the town of Moose Jaw and all the Moose Javians in it,” he laughed. “I’m looking to buy property there; I really do like Moose Jaw.” Another connection Plume has is to Joel Stewart, an RSP co-founder based out of Toronto.

“Joel Stewart was the best man at my wedding back in 2002. Yeah, we’ve been buddies since Christ was a choirboy — since the Dead Sea was just sick. Any music video I’ve ever done — anything ZKHUH , DSSHDU RQ ¿OP DFWXDOO\ ² KH¶V been on the other side of the camera.”

“In 2003, I thought I was done with music, and I put my guitar away,” he said.

After an impulsive visit to an art store (“I bought everything but a beret and a knife to cut my ear off,” he said), he took up painting for a time.

“I never realized it, but I guess I still needed an artistic release. So, now, if I’m not writing songs, then I’m working on my little stories and memoirs.

Remember if the product will kill a bug it could also have an effect on you!

One other consideration is that this pest infects the fruit at the blossom stage. When fruit trees blossom they do so in order to be pollinated and in turn produce fruit.

If you are madly spraying your tree and kill all the pollinators (the bees) you won’t have to worry about apple maggots as you won’t have any fruit! So, treat the problem carefully. If you do have to spray, then choose to spray when the bees are less active. For apple maggot it is best to spray just as the blossoms are opening and then again when the petals are falling. This will give you control when there is less risk to the pollinators. A product like permethrin (Ambush) can be sprayed at lower temperatures so is therefore less risk to bees. It is also essential to keep things clean. Ensure you pick up all the fruit that falls to the ground and dispose of it far away from your apple tree to help break up that life cycle.

Drinkwater’s ‘Willett on Wenzel’ mansion ‘WOWs’ the village with rich history

On August 6, Don Lammle celebrated the completion of major renovations on Drinkwater’s mansion with quite a story to tell Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express / MooseJawToday.com Don Lammle is the current owner of a beautiful heritage property in Drinkwater, Sask., located on Wenzel Street north of the highway.

The Moose Jaw Community Players have announced two audition dates for this fall’s performances, which will consist of three one-act plays in October, and are piloting a new acting workshop with a ‘Murder Mystery’ theme.

The troupe provides theatre enthusiasts in Moose Jaw and surrounding region opportunities to participate across the performing arts spectrum, from acting to set design, from directing to sound tech work, from writing and scripting to stage management.

The Moose Jaw Community Players (MJCP) have had an excellent year so far, according to long-time organizer and former president Crystal Milburn. They wrapped up Notoriously Moose Jaw, one of their most ambitious original plays yet, in late April, and held a very successful open house in December 2022 that revealed just how strong Moose Jaw’s theatre passions are.

“Last year, after we did our open house, we collected over 30 names of people who want to join, and our cast for Notoriously Moose Jaw was also nearly 30 people in the end,” Milburn said. “That’s really good news for us, because in the past little while, it’s really only been a handful of people keeping us going.

“And the feedback from the community around Notorious Moose Jaw has been overwhelmingly positive. We’re so happy that everyone who came had such a great time, it was a real treat for us to play to sold-out audiences. There was not an empty seat to be had.”

The next show from the MJCP will be in the later half of October and consist of three back-to-back one-act comedy plays.

Organizers chose the format to give as many people as possible a chance to join in on every aspect of the productions.

I’ve read all three plays already and I think it’s going to EH D WHUUL¿F IXQ DQG IXQQ\ HYHQLQJ ´ Casting calls will take place at the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre, where the MJCP now have a dedicated rehearsal space, on Thursday, Aug. 24 from 7 to 9 p.m., and on Sunday, Aug. 27 from 4 to 6 p.m.

Meanwhile, in a separate program, longtime writer/director Debbie Burgher will be putting on murder/mystery acting workshops.

theatre under the direction of an experienced teacher, and for more seasoned actors to have fun with the art.

“I think, like anything performance oriented, it comes down to not wanting to be judged, and being nervous about putting yourself out there,” Burgher noted.

“When you do theatre, you’re letting people see a side of yourself that you probably don’t, normally.

“The beautiful thing about these workshops is that it’s a closed, safe environment. It’s just the group of us, we’ll get to know each other and explore and develop what it means to act, and build some of those skills that they can then carry forward to a scripted project.”

More information on dates and times for the October performances and the acting workshop is on its way, but interested persons can contact the MJCP to get their names on the list through their Facebook page.

“I was a high school drama teacher for over 30 years, and I taught this particular thing, which is called Murder at the Embassy, many times,” Burgher explained. “Anybody who went to school at Vanier and took Drama 30 will know exactly what I’m talking about.

“This is my jam.

The Moose Jaw Community Players theatre troupe has gone by several names during its nearly six decades, but one thing has never changed: it puts on entertaining productions and wins awards regularly.

Community theatre has been important to Moose Jaw’s cultural life for decades, and the club has contributed to that scene since 1966 after forming and calling itself Theatre ’67.

Theatre ’67 began a rich tradition for quality theatre with productions of Hadrian VII, Death of a Salesman, The Glass Menagerie, Barefoot in the Park, and others.

After taking a brief hiatus, the club re-emerged as the Community Players and performed memorable productions of Agnes of God, Nurse Jane Goes to Hawaii, Peter Pan, The Fantasticks, The Dining

Room, and Crimes of the Heart.

In 1989, the group changed its name WR &KRFRODWH 0RRVH ZKLOH LWV ¿UVW SURduction was H.M.S. Pinafore. The club attained international notoriety in 1992 with its collective about Moose Jaw called “Jawin’,” which it performed at the VIII Aruba International Theatre Festival in the Caribbean.

The group changed its name back to the Community Players sometime in the 2000s. It performed several shows a year at the Legion during that decade but received poor reviews and did not make much money.

The club decided in 2010 to start holding Christmas dinner theatre productions and take those shows to TheatreFest the following spring.

The club also moved its dinner the-

atres to the Cosmo Senior Citizens Centre, where it performed most shows until the pandemic struck. Recently, it built a new relationship with the Cultural Centre — where the Mae Wilson Theatre is — and DFTXLUHG RI¿FH VSDFH ,W QRZ SODQV WR SHUform several shows a year there.

The pandemic also forced the organization to rebuild and bring on new cast and crew. Some people who have supported the club and helped rebuild it include Debbie Burgher, Joan Stumborg, Crystal Milburn, Nadia Frost, Fiorina Hauck and Jarrod Jeanson.

The group has put on over 100 performances during its 57-year history, while more than 1,000 people have been involved in those productions. Whatever name it had, though, the troupe has put on solid productions and won many provincial awards.

According to Theatre Saskatchewan, WKH ¿UVW SURYLQFLDO 7KHDWUH)HVW DZDUG WKH club won was in 1978 for best actor in a supporting role in the play “Of Mice and

SLGA sells its 11th former retail property in Assiniboia

On Aug. 14, the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority sold the former Assiniboia SLGA outlet for $260,000 Aaron Walker - Moose Jaw Express / MooseJawToday.com Another Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) retail building was sold this week, making the Assiniboia outlet at 208 Second Avenue East the eleventh SLGA building sold this year.

The Assiniboia property was sold at auction for $260,000 on Aug. 14.

Earlier, the Government of Saskatchewan announced it will leave the liquor retail business and all 34 SLGA retail stores across the province were closed this year.

Each separate location had a different closure date, and on March 31, 2023, the Moose Jaw SLGA property ceased operations. The Moose Jaw SLGA retail store was located at the former train station at 5 Manitoba Street East.

Lori Carr, the minister responsible for the SLGA, said the reason for the retail outlet closures was because of diminishLQJ SUR¿WV ³:LWK \HDU RYHU \HDU GHFOLQHV in net revenue at SLGA retail, our government has made the decision to get out of the business of selling liquor,” she said.

SLGA previously operated out of 34 retail locations province-wide, with SLGA Retail Inc. owning 19 of those buildings.

These 19 buildings are now repurposed,

from the sale of these buildings to date.

Concession Sees A Booming Business

HORSES AND RIDERS MAY HAVE BEEN BOOMING AROUND THE BARRELS, BUT FOR A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER JUST STARTING HER OWN CONCESSION, THE CROWDS HAVE MADE FOR A BOOMING DAYS OF BUSINESS

By Robert Thomas With hundreds of attendees from the 2023 Saskatchewan Barrel Racing Association’s (SBRA) provincial championships heading off for snacks, supper or treats from local restaurants and stores, there is one new business that is ecstatic about the steady business generated by the event.

In only her third weekend of operation, Melina Fulton who runs C plus C Concessions located in the Golden Mile Arena has found her business inundated with hungry and thirsty customers, thanks to the SBRA championships.

“It’s been absolutely nuts,” Fulton said describing how busy the concession has been during the barrel racing.

“Hundreds and hundreds of people have come to the concession,” she said.

“It has been maybe 400 sales per day.”

During the course of the interview, two customers took time to compliment Fulton about how good the food was and how nice it was to have a good concession in the Golden Mile Arena.

Asked if she thought it was busy for a concession she said, “I think so. It is certainly a lot busier than the other two weekends I’ve worked. I’ve seen more people here since I’ve been here.”

Fulton has only been operating the newly renovated concession for three

One of the big draws for breakfast is a highly popular breakfast bowl which consists of homemade hashbrowns, scrambled eggs with bacon and ground beef, topped with cheese and green onions.

A breakfast bun is also popular with the early morning crowd.

“We have a breakfast wrap that is not as popular but still it’s ordered quite a bit.”

At other times the concession offers more traditional burger fare, along with wraps available for breakfast or a midday for supper wrap.

Other popular items include the candy bags for the kids, cotton candy and literally the wide selection of cold drinks the concession offers. Drinks they have sold by the hundreds during the event.

The concession does not sell Revels or Popsicles yet because there is no supplier in Moose Jaw that sells in bulk, but only enough quantities to keep costs low.

Hamburgers and cheese burgers are highly popular items on the menu due to the quality, as well as the taste.

“It’s homemade,” Fulton said about

“Everybody is happy; it doesn’t seem to be a frozen puck and they can tell it is a homemade patty.”

Customers are very appreciative of the fact the beef is locally sourced and it is a selling point when it comes to burgers.

Toppings, such as tomato and lettuce, are freshly cut with them being stored in a refrigerator until they are needed, making them extra crispy and fresh tasting.

Fries are freshly cut from whole potatoes just before they are needed in an order, making them delicious tasting, she said The fries aren’t frozen from a bag.

“Donations come in literally daily, and we have a semi trailer that’s chockfull of books. As these books sell, one of our volunteers goes and pulls from the trailer and we keep the store stocked all the time,” she said.

One use of shelter funds is providing a standardized food for the animals. “We try to keep the pets all on the same food, so if they have an upset stomach, we know the reason is not because we changed their diet but because they need to be seen by a vet,” explained Haukaas.

SCRAPS operates by seeking out

to keep tabs on their whereabouts.

After this process has been completed, the cats with a clean bill of health are released and monitored. Several feeding stations are supported by SCRAPS around town, and during the winter months these cats are given a warm shelter to get out of the cold.

“We don’t just give up on them at that point. Our main goal is to not only manage the population, but we want to take care of the cats that are out there on their own,” said Anne Marciszyn, a volunteer with SCRAPS. Kittens are another story altogether. If a kitten is rescued, SCRAPS aims to give them a new lease on life by putting them “Our main goal is to not only manage up for adoption, rather than leaving them the population, but we want to take care on the streets and alleyways as an unloved of the cats that are out there on their FDW 7KH RUJDQL]DWLRQ FXUUHQWO\ KDV DURXQG own,” said Anne Marciszyn.

Parents and little ones gather for First Rider school bus safety intro Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Around 30 parents gathered with their little ones on the front porch of Lindale School on Aug. 17 to participate in the First Rider program, giving them a chance to meet bus drivers, hear safety rules, and hopefully reduce the anxiety of starting a brand-new adventure this fall.

“The First Rider program is important so we can dispel some of the myths around riding the bus and try to get the students PRUH FRPIRUWDEOH IRU WKDW ¿UVW GD\ RI school,” explained Todd Johnson, director of transportation for Prairie South School Division (PSSD).

Also present were superintendents Ryan Boughen from PSSD and Ward Strueby from Holy Trinity Catholic School 'LYLVLRQ +7&6' DQG RWKHU VFKRRO RI¿cials. Kara Stevens, PSSD’s driver safety

Wendy Koster and Natasha MacDonald were two of the school bus drivers who came out to meet children and parents. Koster has been driving for 15 years, ZKLOH 0DF'RQDOG LV UHDG\LQJ IRU KHU ¿UVW season.

“My bus family keeps me coming back,” Koster said with a smile. “I love the kids. I’ve been on the same run, in the same area, year after year, so when new ones come in it’s because they’ve moved in or they’re kindergarteners. And I get to continue with them until they’ve graduated grade eight.

“I’ve made a lot of friends, and I still have kids that stay in contact with me to this day who are now graduated and have become teachers themselves!”

“I’ve only been driving for a few months, and I’m a rural driver, but it will be the same for me,” MacDonald said.

“I’ll get the same families all the way from kindergarten until they graduate grade 12.

7KLV ZLOO EH P\ ¿UVW IXOO \HDU ZLWK DOO WKH kids, and I’m really excited.

“Not only do I love kids, but I have a little guy at home, and one of the perks of this job is that I can bring him with me instead of putting him in daycare. So, it’s ideal for newer moms.”

Some of the safety measures for riding the school bus include keeping the kids in their seats, helping them learn a respectful, helpful culture on board the bus, and getting them familiar with emergency procedures.

“We are here for her to learn the safety rules of bus riding, so I feel comfortable, I guess,” said Laurie Freeman, who DWWHQGHG ZLWK KHU ¿YH \HDU ROG GDXJKWHU Iboya (Ibie). “I have two other ones who haven’t taken part in this program, so this LV NLQG RI RXU ¿UVW WLPH ,¶P KDSS\ WKH\ have this, it’s a great way to get children more comfortable with riding the bus.”

“Who’s going to drive the bus?” Ibie wanted to know.

“The bus driver will drive the bus,” her mother told her.

“Oh. I am so excited for school!”

“We got two players that are highly skilled and skate really well,” Ripplinger added. “They’re going to complement our… group really well.”

7KH ¿UVW URXQG RI GUDIWV VDZ 7RPDãHF selected, and he was the 48th overall pick in the 2023 CHL Import.

Král was selected in the second round of drafts and was the 108th overall pick in the draft.

Last season, he played in the U17 and U20 divisions for BK Mlada Boleslav, a

Czechia-based team. Combined, he scored 12 goals and earned 34 points in 43 total games.

Ripplinger had positive things to say about Král. “Patrik is a very crafty player that sees the ice really well.”

Both newly drafted players will be in Moose Jaw to start the pre-season training camp that kicks off on Aug. 31 at the Moose Jaw Events Centre.

The hockey club has also kept in touch with former 20-year-old forward Martin Rysavy from Czechia and may see him play another season in Moose Jaw. “There’s a chance he could come back, and we’ll have to make some tough decisions at that time,” said Ripplinger.

Delicious apple pie day tradition keeps on going Ron Walter = For Moose Jaw Express

The tradition of apple pie day in Mossbank continued this year in spite of poor growing conditions..

“It is dry here,” said museum spokesperson Cheryiln Nagel. “We’ve had seven years of drought.”

7KH GURXJKW LV UHÀHFWHG LQ D ³WHUULEOH¶¶ \LHOG RI DSSOHV from the town and district.

“Most of the apples were so small they were used to feed cattle but people still came with apple pies.’’

Nagel said some of the apple trees are getting older and yield less fruit. “Maybe we need to plant some new trees.’’

The apple pie day in always held on the third Wednesday in August, as that is when the apples are ready for picking and baking.

“We get anywhere from 250 to 400 (people) out.’’

The lower numbers usually happen when weather is bad.

Pie and coffee is sold by donation, with proceeds going to the Mossbank and District Museum which features the Ambrosz Blacksmith Shop, house, yard and three other buildings.

It is the only heritage blacksmith shop in Saskatchewan still sitting on the original location.

Apple pie day was moved from the museum to the town hall this year, Austin enjoys pie

Large selection as the wind would have made sitting in the park benches and eating in the Ambrosz yard inconvenient.

This is the oldest fund-raiser in Mossbank and has kept the museum funded for about 40 years.

“I know my gramma used to bake for apple pie day.”

The fund-raiser started when museum volunteers picked apples from the Ambrosz tree and made pies to sell.

Umbrellas were used in many ancient societies around the world, Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Chinese, and Indian. They served to protect important people from the sun. Umbrellas were a sign of importance and power.

The ancient Greeks used umbrellas for shade from the sun and the Romans realized they were also good for protecting one from the rain. In Europe during the Dark Age, it seems that the use of umbrellas waned. What did people do during a rainstorm? No one knows. Umbrellas Rev.

Leaf-cutting ants have been referred to as umbrella ants because they carry bits of leaves on their backs for transportation.

Japan has a unique umbrella culture that has been developing for over a millennium. You’ve likely seen classic 18th-century woodblock prints of elegant geisha posing with one. Today it is not unusual to see a bride being escorted with a traditional bamboo and paper variety, which is a common accessory to the classic Japanese wedding photo.

In Japan cheap clear plastic umbrellas retail at just 300-500 yen ($3-$5 CDN) and can be great for negotiating your way through the crowded streets of Osaka, with basically full visibility. You could discover lots of umbrellas hanging on fences throughout the city that can be used if you forgot to carry one with you when a sudden rain shower appears. But I would recommend, “Don’t go to Japan without one.”

Show up, help out: Local couple model community service and contribution Gordon Edgar - Moose Jaw Express/MooseJawToday.com

Lloyd and Lynann Pethick are about as active as active gets and provide a model for anyone looking to make their lives more SDUWLFLSDWRU\ DQG LQYROYHG ² ¿QG VRPHthing you care about, show up, help out.

“You really just show up and say, ‘What do you need help with?’ and then you help,” said Lynann Pethick, 76, during an interview at the Shriners’ Club in Moose Jaw. She and her husband Lloyd, 80, were in the midst of preparing for the annual Order of the Eastern Star BBQ. “If someone were trying to get more LQYROYHG , PHDQ ¿UVWO\ ,¶G DVN WKHP ZKDW their interests are,” Lloyd said. “That’s your main thing. Then, you just go to the Chamber of Commerce, and they have a list of all the organizations in Moose Jaw. We’ve gained a few members that way, and we’ve always done that when we moved someplace new.”

The Pethicks come from big families: Lloyd was the oldest of 12 children, and Lynann was the second oldest of 13 children. They had ‘only’ two children themselves because they felt they had spent their childhoods parenting their siblings. However, they are very involved in their children and grandchildren’s lives, and have informally adopted a few more grandchildren to love and care for.

They’ve always been the parents who drove carpooled groups to tournaments

Lynann and Lloyd Pethick, pictured at the Moose Jaw Masonic Temple, which is also the hall for the Order of the Eastern Star, where they have served important leadership roles since the ‘80s (photo by Gordon Edgar) and other events, volunteered their house for high school parties, cared for children whose parents couldn’t be there, and more.

Lynann once volunteered for three years at King George School with her daughter-inlaw and son, helping children who needed extra attention.

“A lot of those kids still come up to us — they’re grown now — to say ‘hello,’ and chat, which really makes you feel good,” Lloyd said.

“We were born and raised on farms, and back then, mom and dad and the community all pitched in … for whatever needed to be done,” Lynann said. “So, I have volunteered ever since, and that was one thing my dad said — make sure you’re always a part of the community.”

“Same for me,” Lloyd noted. “I was born and raised in Meadow Lake, on the farm, and we did all the community things as well — supervised ball tournaments, looked after the curling rink, and the families in our community all took turns looking after the cemetery and keeping it mowed and everything. They still do that, there.”

They emphasize that no one needs a formal, written invitation to show up and help out. You don’t even need to know anyone. Every organization in the city needs more people to brainstorm ideas, show up for activities, give service, help with rides, and more.

All it takes is to accept invitations, show up and participate, and give of one’s time.

“Every organization that Moose Jaw has is good. Everybody’s got a purpose and is out there to do something good for

the community, and a lot of people don’t realize that,” Lynann said.

“By getting involved, you get to know more about what’s going on in the community and what needs to be done, and maybe you’ve seen something that needs to be done and you’re looking for help to make it happen,” Lloyd noted. “With the South Hill Community Association, we’ve been trying to improve some of the picnic sites, the walking trails, and the parks on South Hill, stuff like that.”

For decades, the Pethicks have volunteered, led, organized, and recruited for the following organizations, to name a few: • Order of the Eastern Star • Moose Jaw Masonic Lodge • Elections Sask • The United Church • South Hill Community Association • Wakamow Valley Park • Western Development Museum • Friendly City Optimist Club 7KH 3HWKLFNV IHHO WKH EHQH¿WV DUH clear, including keeping their activity level high, being connected and known, and seeing the effects of their contributions.

“There’s days that you can get frustrated with other people,” Lynann admitted. “But then you feel, ‘OK, I’m doing something for the community.’ And I always looked at it as, if I didn’t do this, maybe no one else would.”
