Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Many activities for Canada Day celebrations
Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Lisa's Corner: Canada Day is primarily about history
By Lisa Goudy
Parties, activities, social outings and fireworks have been a part of Canada Day celebrations for a long time. It’s something
that should rightly be associated with the day celebrating Confederation, which occurred on July 1, 1867.
But I also think we could all use a reminder of the real reason we celebrate Canada Day and that can be summed up in one word
— history.

"A customer says they’re looking
for whatever amount of energy they tell us that they require so then our
network development group identifies what do we need to deliver the power to
them that we need?” said Bolen. “Then they look at the rest of our provincial
grid and try and figure out where’s the nearest connection.”

Farmer Vaughn Crone views the collapse of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) monopoly as a way for increased competition.
Additional comments
Farmer and past president Cherilyn Jolly-Nagel said she believes market freedom is good for producers and the work that needs to be done can be completed in a more positive environment.
"The good is that the fight is finally over and we can welcome the benefits of an
open market. Yes there is still plenty of work to do. We need to gain faster
access to varieties. We need to modernize the Canada Grain Act so that farmers
can sell their grain on the basis of speck. We need to see improvement sin rail
transportation and we need improved access to markets," said Jolly-Nagel.

The appeal of fun, sun and travel was what motivated Brian Mann to get a job at the fair at age 19.
Now, almost 30 years later, Mann loves his career with West Coast Amusements more than he did when he started.
2012 Hometown Fair
Additional comments
Brian Mann said his favourite part of working at the fair is all the travelling he gets to do.
"You get to see all different
kinds of country. There was a time where once in a while we’d go down into the
States. We used to travel as far as Manitoba. You see all parts of Canada. You
meet people constantly," said Mann, adding that he enjoys visiting Moose Jaw as well.
West Coast Amusements
secretary manager Wendy Hauser said she had a positive feeling about how the fair would go this weekend.
"Things are good in Saskatchewan. We're really optimistic. It's going to be a good fair," said Hauser. "I'm most looking forward to good weather, the crowds and that everybody has a good time."

In the 16th century, raku ware was traditionally used in the Japanese tea ceremony.
More
than 500 years later, the pottery technique is still used for its
unique textures. Grade 10, 11 and 12 students in the senior art class at
Riverview Collegiate Institute had the chance to experience raku firing
on Tuesday.

Teacher Kelly Grass said it was the first time he had
done raku firing with a class, but he said it gives the pieces a lot of
“neat surprises.”
“Once you do it, you become hooked on it,” said
Grass. “It’s neat because there’s a lot of fire and smoke and it’s got
that 'wow' element.”

Full quote from Omot about his first winter in Saskatchewan:
“Because it was summertime,
the immigration was not ready to provide us a jacket and all that. All of a
sudden when we flew from Toronto and there was a blizzard, there was a big
blizzard in Saskatchewan, the plane couldn’t land in Regina. It had to land in
Saskatoon.
"We came by bus and it was my first time to see snow. It was very,
very white and cold and I don’t know what to do and it was a shock. I will not
forget about it,” said Omot.

Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Knitting day a fun chance to knit in public
By Lisa Goudy
Knitters have a chance to knit in public.
Knitters or anyone wanting to learn more about
knitting can participate in World Wide Knitting in Public (WWKIP) Day
on Saturday
between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the zero block of River Street at the
Farmers’ Market. The event is hosted by a small group of
knitters and is sponsored by Stitcher’s Nook.
Additional comments
Adrienne Forsyth, event co-ordinator and owner of Stitcher's Nook, described WWKIP as:
“It’s really
just an opportunity for us to get together and share our love of knitting and
other stitchery forms and just have fun doing it and show people that here’s
another thing you can do with your leisure time if you want to do that,” said Forsyth.
She said the hardest part was finding a location to hold the event, but once she came up with a place, everything came together nicely.
“When I was
thinking of places to knit in public, I mean, obviously things like the mall
came to mind first and I thought, ‘Oh, that’s kind of dull. What else could we
do?’” said Forsyth. “Then I remembered about the Farmers’ Market. I’d read that
they were moving down to River Street and I thought, ‘Well that would be a nice
little opportunity. Maybe we could just go down there and create a little
bustle down there too.”

Moose Jaw Times-Herald: 20 Questions with Della Ferguson

| Della Ferguson. Times-Herald photo by Lisa Goudy |
By Lisa Goudy
The Times-Herald recently sat down with Della Ferguson, continued care co-ordinator for W.J. Jones and Son Funeral Home and a funeral celebrant, to ask her 20 questions. Ferguson grew up on a farm six miles out of Mortlch and lives with her husband Del. They have two grown children, Vanessa and Gray.
1. What
do you like best about what you do?
“I
love meeting with people and talking heart-to-heart.”
2. Why
did you decide to be a continued care co-ordinator?
“I
actually felt called to it and then I was invited to come and join Jones
Funeral Home and from that it just mushroomed and grew and I grew with it I
guess.”
3. What’s
the hardest part of your job?
“I
would say it’s extremely hard to observe the intensity of the pain that people
are having to experience as a result of tragedies.”
4. What
do you do to relax after a hard day’s work?
“Nature
is one of my great solaces. I love sunrises, find just I breathe that in and it
fills me up. I have very special friends that I connect heart-to-heart with and
can feel that support and my family is extremely open and communicative in
support and music.”
5. Do
you ever find your work overbearing?
“It
can get overwhelming especially if I haven’t taken the time to do the self-care
that I need, but then I very intentionally regroup and find a way to process
and work through the overwhelm.”
Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Lisa's Corner: A good dose of skepticism is needed online
By Lisa Goudy
Earlier
this week when I logged into my Facebook account, I saw that one of my friends
had posted a notice that anyone can infringe on your right to privacy.
Out
of a favour to a friend and because of my journalistic curiosity, I did a
little digging to see if there was actually some truth to it or if it was a
hoax.
I
discovered that is totally false. I think this hoax or any hoax for that matter
should serve as a friendly reminder for people to not believe everything read
on the Internet, including Facebook.

If everyone changed his or her daily habits, achieving the Hakuna matata of The Lion King might be attainable.
That was a message keynote speaker and actor Raymond Ablack gave to a group of Saskatchewan youth and adult leaders during
his address at the Speak Out 2: National Youth Day conference on Tuesday at Timothy Eaton Gardens, put on by the Moose Jaw
South Central Regional Intersectoral Committee (RIC).
Additional comment from Raymond Ablack
“I just hope
that my stories - that they can
find some part of any story I have that they can relate to that will catch fire
and inspire,” said Ablack. “I don’t know how they’ll do that I’m just hoping
they can relate to my stories because they can see that I’m so much like them.
There’s nothing at all special about me. Anybody can do what I’ve done and more
people could probably do way more than I’ve done.

His hard childhood lifestyle was what inspired Michael Minall to first start volunteering.
“By the time (I was in) Grade 9, I really had nowhere to live,” said Minall. “It really just progressed me to fight for houses
that kids can actually go to and … when you’re experiencing things as you’re growing up that are really, really hard, you
either find yourself or you lose yourself and you walk a very fine line between both.
“I was just one of the lucky ones that found myself,” he added. “I want to help more kids find themselves (as they experience
the hardships of growing up).”
The Grade 12 Riverview Collegiate student has been volunteering in Moose Jaw for the past four years.
Additional comments from Michael Minall
"I want the people to love and respect each other," said Minall. "I want somebody to look at somebody who's a different colour and be like, 'Hey, you're my brother' and look at a girl who's a different colour and be like, 'Hey, you're my sister,' even though we're not."
He added that through his volunteer work, he wants to give youth something to do.
"What I've tried to do is make the lives of the youth in Moose Jaw from my generation onward to have something to do and almost seem like it means something," said Minall.

Moose Jaw Times-Herald: Weekend extra - Jazz an important art form for Saskatchewan youth
 |
| David Dick says jazz is an important cultural aspect in Saskatchewan. Times-Herald photo by Lisa Goudy |
By Lisa Goudy
Moose Jaw native David Dick sees jazz improvisation as a musical outlet for all ages.
“(Improvisation is) another form of expression in music that’s really unique to jazz, that you get to compose on the spot.
Most of the time I’m performing music that someone else invented and wrote and the artistry is more like an actor. I’m not
creating the lines. I’m not writing the screenplay. I’m delivering the performance of it,” said Dick.
“But with jazz, you can actually be doing both
at the same time,” he continued. “It’s like being an improv actor
instead,
where you know generally where the scene is supposed to go, but
you don’t know exactly what the lines are going to be to get
you there.”
Dick is mostly involved in classical music
now, but he can’t wait to get back into jazz. Jazz music was his reason
for getting
involved in music growing up in Moose Jaw because of its high
energy. Currently he plays principal trombone for the Regina
Symphony Orchestra, gives private lessons and plays a little
piano. He also plays lead trombone in the newly founded Regina
Jazz Orchestra.
 |

Jazz is an important art form for people in
Saskatchewan, Dick said. Because jazz has so many different styles
within the
genre, from swing to fusion, he explained pretty much everyone can
find some sort of jazz they enjoy. However, jazz doesn’t
have many followers and is underappreciated, but he said most of
that is because of lack of exposure to all jazz styles.
He added many types of jazz education and involvements are available at universities in the province, such as jazz bands and
theory.
“To have it in a university is sort of an affirmation that jazz is important enough that it’s being offered at the university
in several ways,” said Dick, who is a sessional lecturer of a jazz appreciation entry-level music class at the University
of Regina.
He went on to say that in his jazz
appreciation class, there is usually a mix of students. Some are music
majors who see the
class as an opportunity to learn more or gain exposure to jazz.
But about half of the students are not music majors or musically
involved, but see the class as a fun or easy elective.
“It’s happened lots that students come out of it — having never listened to jazz before — but started buying jazz albums for
themselves and listening to jazz regularly and they will become patrons of that art form afterwards,” said Dick.
Lecturer and jazz enthusiast Brent Ghiglione,
also from Moose Jaw, said that in recent years, he has seen more young
people
become involved in jazz. He added younger groups are forming in
the province, starting in elementary schools. In his experience,
he has found that young people tend to find jazz easier to absorb.
“I think it talks to them. It gives them a form of expression or it gives them an opportunity to speak to this. It gives them
a voice. A musical voice,” said Ghiglione.
