On Wednesday the Caribou West Pet Clinic has closed its doors for good.

"It's a selfish decision in some ways, but I think it's time to take care of myself," said owner and veterinarian Ann Vander Hooft. "It's been a 30-year career. It can be very demanding being on call 24 hours a day seven days a week. I still love being a veterinarian very much so, but running this practice is getting to be too much. It's just time to slow down."

With a surge in international students, SIAST is looking to help students find homes.

“At all four campuses we don’t have a residence available for any student for that matter and it’s really difficult for Canadians at all four of our campuses that are coming from smaller centres in Saskatchewan to the bigger centres to go to school,” said Jason Mazzei, manager of international education at SIAST.

“It adds to the fact for the international students travelling halfway around the world to come and try to find appropriate accommodations while they’re studying at SIAST.”

He said because of the rise in enrolment of international students, he contacted Canada Homestay Network to propose a partnership between the non-profit organization and SIAST.

Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Lisa's Corner: Wolverine makes yet another screen appearance

By Lisa Goudy

Marvel comic book superhero Wolverine has seen a lot of screen time.

Made particularly famous by actor Hugh Jackman with the first X-Men movie released in 2000. Prior to that the character has and still does make many appearances on animated television shows.

Regarding Jackman’s portrayal of the fan-favourite mutant, he has appeared in four credited X-Men movies since 2000 and one un-credited cameo in X-Men: First Class.

And of course today marks the release of the movie The Wolverine. Next year Jackman will also appear as the character in X-Men: Days of Future Past. You have to wonder if moviemakers will ever stop making X-Men related movies.

Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Lisa's Corner: Stories shouldn’t sink with sunken ships

By Lisa Goudy

I’ve always had a fascination with sunken ships.

I really can’t explain why, but for whatever reasons the stories, photos and other information regarding sunken ships holds a particular allure for me. So of course I was genuinely interested to learn more about the Empress of Ireland at the travelling exhibit that was at the Moose Jaw Western Development Museum last weekend.

Of course sunken ships isn’t for everyone. Neither is history. But as Pascale Saint-Amand, project manager with the Site historique maritime de la Pointe-au-Per who was available to answer questions at the exhibit, pointed out you never know what old documents, artifacts and lists might come in handy. If you find something you should contact a museum to discuss it further.

Sharing stories from the past are important and they are intriguing to many people, as well as play a role in remembering our past to help shape our future. That’s why it’s imperative we keep telling our stories and, in the case of the news media, telling other people’s stories.

I’m thrilled to say I’ve shared what I believe to be a great story about the R.M.S. Titanic.

Moose Jaw Times-Herald: New engineering director’s infrastructure experience a benefit

Higgins says it’ll take “a while to catch up” on infrastructure

By Lisa Goudy


Mayor Deb Higgins said it’s a “long-time coming” for a new director of engineering services.

“We all know that infrastructure is a huge issue here in the City of Moose Jaw, not only building out for new development but also rebuilding aging infrastructure within the core and older areas of the city,” said Higgins. “You know it’s a real challenge and to be able to have someone with (Tyron) Stokes’ experience come to the City of Moose Jaw I think is a plus for sure.”

She added the amount of resources, money available and where the money is committed is still central to infrastructure projects.

Performing traditional dances is a way to share aspects of other cultures.

That is the view of Bo Yu, a member of the Moose Jaw Chinese Association that performed at Motif on Sunday. When speaking about the Chinese square dance, she said it is a representation of the life of people in China.

“From the dance you can tell the horses are galloping in the grass,” said Yu. “Basically it’s about how people feel about our lives.”

The 39th annual festival concluded on Sunday in Happy Valley Park. Featuring 13 cultures this year, the event had entertainment, vendors and food on site over the weekend.

After colliding with the Storstad coal boat, the Empress of Ireland only took 14 minutes to sink.

Leaving 465 survivors and killing 1,1012, the sinking of the Empress of Ireland on May 29, 1914 at 1:55 a.m. is the biggest maritime disaster in Canadian waters.

Pictures of the ship’s interior and rarely seen video images are among the items included in the travelling Empress of Ireland exhibit. From Friday until Tuesday the exhibit is at the Moose Jaw Western Development Museum (WDM). After that it will head to the Saskatoon WDM for a week.

“We wanted to show the Empress of Ireland in 1914. We wanted to show how it was inside it. You know, the services that were on board,” said Pascale Saint-Amand, project manager with the Site historique maritime de la Pointe-au-Pere who is on hand to answer questions at the exhibit.

Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Lisa's Corner: Appreciate and enjoy our parks in and around the city

By Lisa Goudy

I was at Buffalo Pound Provincial Park for the first time this week.

I was impressed with the greenery, the lake, the pool and the beach. It was such a hot day, I’m sure if I hadn’t been covering something for work I would’ve jumped in the lake for a swim.

It’s definitely something we shouldn’t take for granted, just like Wakamow Valley and all of the other many parks in and nearby our city.

I’ve lived in Saskatchewan all my life and even while living in Regina, Buffalo Pound Provincial Park isn’t that far away.

Yet I’d never been to it before and there is one simple reason for it. I had a different park and lake I used to go to regularly and still do visit at least once a year.

Up until a couple of years ago, my grandparents owned a prestigious lakefront cabin at Lac Pelletier, which is approximately 30 kilometres south of Swift Current.

“My mom used to take me down there. There was a beach down there. There would be 300 people down there. It’s a marsh now,” said Van Tassel. “Somehow it is part of our heritage.

It was just the strangest thing I’ve ever seen.”

She added the orbs moved from east to west and turned north before disappearing. White, who lives in the complex at the end of Wolfe Avenue, said at first she saw six of them but then more came. She said it wasn’t a plane because there weren’t any red or green flashing lights visible.

He said the Culex tarsalis mosquitoes will feed more regularly and lay more eggs when the weather is hotter. He said those mosquitoes require the "right amount of heat” to thrive.

Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Lisa's Corner: Perspective can help us garner empathy

By Lisa Goudy

Sometimes we could all use some perspective.

It is impossible for anyone to know exactly what it’s like for someone else in his or her specific situation. We can’t know exactly what a person has gone through, is going through or will go through.

I think we need to recognize we have our differences and our experiences are uniquely ours by way of what happens or by how we choose to react to what happens.

While we can never truly know, perspective can help us try and understand and empathize with other people. For a lot of negative associations with someone’s situation, I believe we will be enlightened if we ourselves have experienced that.

For example unless we have experienced the kind of flooding such as in Alberta, we cannot possibly imagine what that’s like to lose everything because of a natural disaster.
