After winning in her divisions at the Canadian Trick Riders Association finals two years in a row, Dewberry’s Paynton Bensmiller, 12, is now heading to Las Vegas to compete in the North American Championship in December.

Multi-trick ponies Dewberry girl, 12, off to Vegas to represent Canada in trick riding competition

by Jaime Polmateer jaime@lloydminstersource.com

Up until recently trick riding was mostly for entertainment with little in the way for riders in terms of competition.

In fact, the Canadian Trick Riding Association (CTRA) just started up last year, and before that everything was under contract with riders being paid to perform only at events that hired them.

Things are starting to change, however, and during the Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association finals in Lloydminster last week the CTRA held its own competition.

“We had about 25 girls ages six to 19 and they compete all year, and that was the finals and if they won their event, they get to go to Vegas in December to compete at the North American (Championship),” said Amber Miller, a 15 year trick riding veteran who coaches roughly half of the CTRA riders.

“We started putting in some competitions just

for girls that needed a place to ride and couldn’t book shows; really there hasn’t been any competitions for probably about 50 years.”

This is also the first year for the North American Championship in Las Vegas, which will be held at the Convention Centre on Dec. 5 and 6, with Miller adding that it’s kind of a trial to see how much of a buzz it can drum up.

There will be roughly 15 riders from the United States and 15 more from Canada, one of whom will be 12 year-old Paynton Bensmiller from Dewberry Alta., who is one of Miller’s proteges.

Miller said Bensmiller is hyped about her shot in Sin City and has started working on improving her game for the event.

“She’s super excited to go; all the girls that have made it there are already starting to train harder and do harder tricks and perfect the ones that they have,” Miller said.

“Even from last year going into this year, they worked really hard to perfect tricks and trust their horses and it takes basically a really good horse and a lot of hard work with the trick on trick

rider.”

Those Canucks going to the Vegas event are the Canadian winners from both 2015 and 2016, with Bensmiller winning her junior division last year and getting Act of the Year.

This year she moved up a division to compete with the older girls in the senior division and walked away with another cool win after pulling off two of her signature tricks, the Stroud Layout and the Fender Flyaway.

Miller said trick riding is really starting to grow, finally becoming more of a sport as opposed to pure entertainment.

“When I started riding 15 years ago there were about eight trick riders in Canada and now I basically coach about 30 just myself, so it’s really just grown the sport,” she said.

“We hope to start more competitions and allow for more girls to come and just give more places to trick ride; it’s kind of a hard thing, you can do it, but it’s hard to get shows because you really have to sell yourself and get performances, so this is just to make more of an organized sport.”

A walk to remember

by Jaime Polmateer jaime@lloydminstersource.com

In recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day the sixth annual Walk of Remembrance will take place at Bud Miller All Seasons Park on Sept. 10 in memory of those lost to the tragic act.

“I think the walk is important for (those affected by suicide) to recognize they’re not alone in this type of loss, and they’ll find other people who are also on the walk and be able to connect with them to establish a relationship with others who’ve experienced a similar losses and the similar feelings,” said Shirley Scott, facilitator of the Walking Through Grief Society and committee member for the event.

“The other significant thing is to be able to come together without feeling shame or stigma and being able to recognize the importance of honouring loved ones and the importance of mental health and mental wellness and how we can all be a part of that.”

The Walk of Remembrance will start at the main picnic shelter at Bud Miller Park with opening remarks from local dignitaries, then walkers will stroll around the lake and return to hear the guest speaker of the day, Mackenzie Murphy.

Murphy, who hails from Airdrie Alta., was crowned Miss Teen Alberta America Beauty this year, and was formerly Miss Teenage Airdrie in 2015.

The young beauty queen has struggled with mental

health issues in the past and will touch a bit on her journey, but her speech will mostly be about hope and what people can do to remove some of the shame associated with mental illness.

“She’s experienced bullying as a teenager and the impact of mental health issues, and also the fact that she had a suicidal attempt,” said Scott.

“At this point now she is moving forward and living and I think she’ll give a talk about hope from the mental illness that her life has had and how she’s been able to turn around and give hope to those who have mental illness.”

This year ’s theme for world Suicide Prevention Day is “Connect, Communicate, Care,” which Scott said is fitting for the walking event, because it helps people connect in a social setting and communicate with others who are experiencing similar tragedies.

The walk will also bring community members together who want to support those going through that type of grief and show they care through their continued advocacy to governments and at professional levels on how to address mental illness and the stigma of suicide.

“I just really hope people recognize that the Walk of Remembrance is not just for survivors of suicide, but it’s for the community, and it’s not just to talk about suicide, it’s also to talk about mental health, mental wellness and our responsibility as a community to be involved,” Scott said.

Mayor to proclaim Suicide Prevention Day

by Jaime Polmateer jaime@lloydminstersource.com

Every year roughly 800,000 people die by suicide, according to the World Health Organization, which translates to nearly 40 people a minute.

On Sept. 1 the City of Lloydminster will sign a proclamation, designating the tenth day of the month as World Suicide Prevention Day to recognize and bring awareness to these preventable deaths.

Neil Harris, who is part of the Walk of Remembrance committee and local coordinator for Alberta Health Services Men at Risk Program, said proclamations like these are important to help remove some of the stigma associated with suicide.

“It helps if the City of Lloydminster sees the importance and the value of more awareness and information around suicide and suicide prevention,” said Harris.

“In the proclamation there’s some information written in it and it talks about this year’s theme for World Suicide Prevention Day, which is ‘Connect, Communicate, Care,’ and how important it is to connect with people who are struggling, and communicate information and awareness, and then provide care— either talking to them or getting them connected to the help that is needed.”

He also works in addiction prevention and mental health promotion for Alberta Health Services and teaches

a course called Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training, and another called Mental Health First Aid, both of which cover similar topics, so the cause is something he holds close in his day-to-day work.

Harris added Alberta has one of the highest suicide rates in the country, where more people die by taking their own lives than by motor vehicle collisions.

World Suicide Prevention Day is an ideal time to motivate the public into working toward a goal of coming up with new strategies to end the stigma around suicide, and help prevent occurrences from happening in the first place, Harris said.

Also, by having Mayor Rob Saunders and city council show their collective belief that this is an important issue, it creates more awareness with residents and gets the public talking about suicide prevention, which Harris said every bit of attention brought to the issue helps.

“Just having their acknowledgement of this important cause helps to creates more awareness because it says more people are talking about it, getting it out in the open and saying this is a preventable death,” said Harris.

“If there are supports available and people begin to talk and be more open and talk about stress and depression, there’s more hope that suicides can be prevented.”

City hears opposition to Synergy purchase

by Geoff Lee geoff@lloydminstersource.com

Council recessed for legal counsel Monday to verify the legality of its debenture borrowing bylaw to fund the city’s $4.7 million purchase of the old Synergy Credit Union building.

Coun. Ken Baker’s own interpretation of the city’s charter that the purchase has to be a budgeted item prior to debenture borrowing, led the city to seek legal clarification.

“I didn’t want us to get in trouble approving something that wasn’t available to us,” said Baker, whose concern sent council into a legal huddle.

According to the city’s charter on long-term borrowing, “where the city provides for an expenditure not included in the current budget and provides for the creation of a debt not payable within the current year, it shall do so by bylaw.”

“This is the first time I have heard that if you pass a (bylaw) in council that automatically, if it’s a capital item, it changes the budget,” said Baker.

Council previously approved the $4.7 million purchase of the asset in June to eventually create a new Community Hub Catalyst for the downtown.

It’s estimated it could cost an additional $18-19 million to renovate the building that would be a new home for the library among other community services’ tenants.

The bylaw debenture is strictly for the cost of the building itself.

“The purchase can be done,” Mayor Rob Saunders told the media.

“As you witnessed today, we had legal counsel on the determination of the ability to move forward— that was just clarification we asked for and we got that.”

The bylaw passed despite some objections from resident John Van Cleemput who stepped before council to argue against the purchase.

Robert Cherniak, both of whom are against the expenditure.

“There is a greater need in our city for a water and sewer upgrade of over $80 million, to which you, as city administrators, have told us, the taxpayers, the city is unable to get financing for,” stated the couple.

They went on to note that with the economic downturn they feel “it is time for city to pull in the reins and face reality of today’s economy.”

Another letter presented at council by Robert Cuny stated, “Now is not the time for rampant spending by city Council on a community hub that will never be affordable for cash-strapped charities and community groups.

“Please cancel the $4 million purchase of the old Lloydminster Credit Union building,” he wrote.

“We are all hurting of the recent economic slow-down and the doubled city taxes.”

“Where quality is the difference.”

“Scrap the whole thing,” he said in his main message.

“It’s too expensive to start with; there’s too many unknowns—four and a half million dollars for an old building, then we have to renovate it.”

He went on to say the possible tenants don’t know how much their rent would be and he questions if they could afford it.

Van Cleemput said if the city is looking for a central location, it could buy the vacant United Furniture store that’s listed for just $1.6 million.

He also wants to know what would happen to the city’s $260,000 deposit if the bylaw were to be rescinded.

“Where does the deposit go, have we lost it?,” he asked.

Van Cleemput was supported by a couple of letters presented with council documents, including one signed by Phylliss Hunchak and

Here we grow again: Holy Rosary to expand

by Geoff Lee geoff@lloydminstersource.com

7AM TO 5PM SAT - SUN

Lloydmall 780.875.0203

City rezones more than four acres to meet Holy Rosary’s growing need.

Holy Rosary High School is going under the dome.

The Lloydminster Catholic School Division has teamed up with Synergy Credit Union to construct a new multipurpose indoor recreation facility, dubbed the Synergy Vault.

Construction will start this fall on the 23,000 sq. ft., facility for indoor school football, soccer, baseball, rugby practices and for other sports groups in the region.

LSCD and Synergy released details of the project Wednesday including a target opening in December.

“The Synergy Vault will help fill an increasing need in our community,” Aubrey Patterson, LCSD director of education said in a release.

The announcement

follows the Monday rezoning of 4.25 acres of school property by Lloyd City council from Municipal Reserve to School Reserve to pave the way for the development.

“Synergy Credit Union is honoured to be a part of such an important project in our community with the Lloydminster Catholic School Division,” said Gord Thiel, Synergy’s Lloydminster branch manager.

The school is close to capacity and requires more space for sports programs with 2016 enrolment expected to jump to a high of 862.

The school was constructed to serve 750 students.

The Synergy Vault is the first phase of a strategic expansion plan at Holy Rosary to include a second gymnasium, and improvements to its playing fields.

“Synergy’s generosity allowed this project to proceed without there being a significant financial impact on the school division,” said Patterson.

The plans call for the building to be used for physical education classes during the day, and extra-curriculum programs after school.

The facility will be a metal frame structure with a fabric covering located directly west and parallel to the existing staff parking lot at 6810-35 St. The building will be 135 ft. wide and 175 ft. long with a height of about 55 ft. at the centre.

The colour of the building will be selected to blend in with the current school colour scheme.

The city will facilitate the transfer of the land and any costs associated with the transfer are the responsibility of LCSD.

With more than 40 projects currently underway across the province, the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure asks drivers to remain patient and obey the black and white posted speed limit in work zones— even when workers are not present.

“This year’s record Highways and Infrastructure budget of $1.15 billion includes almost 800 kilometres of new seal coating,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said.

“Seal coat work zones require reduced speeds without workers present to allow the new surface to dry and seal.”

Seal coating projects are the most common type of work where 60 km/h signs remain in place without workers present.

Seal coating requires up to 24 hours without traffic to set properly.

In many cases, the seal coat work zones are long because crews are able to complete the work quickly.

Vehicles travelling at high speeds through a seal coat work zone can ruin the seal.

The slower speed also protects vehicles from unnecessary damage caused by loose stones on the road.

After the road has cured, crews return to sweep the excess gravel off the road and the speed limit is returned to normal.

Situations where speeds are reduced for safety reasons without workers present include: narrow roads; roads that have been reduced to one lane; or potential road hazards like loose stones, a sharp drop off the pavement, or barriers.

City runs dry on testy water utility bylaw

Council has shut off the taps to a second reading of its contentious utility bylaw until further notice following a flood of objections from property owners.

The city wants to put all new water utility accounts in owner’s names to eliminate the cost of its collection process for unpaid bills and reduce administration costs.

Some property owners, like John Vinek, who spoke to council Monday, say that’s just passing the buck to them and he suggests the city raises its deposit fees.

“An owner cannot increase the security deposit to cover utilities,” Vinek said, referring to how much they can legally charge tenants for lost rent or damages.

He said the city, though, can take a security deposit and also charge a $47 fee for reading meters to disconnect and connect services.

“An owner may allocate a portion of damage deposit to utilities, but this leaves less of a deposit to cover damages or unpaid rent,” Vinek told council.

He added if a tenant is evicted, half of the security deposit is used by the time sufficient notice is given.

A city report noted Airdrie, Lethbridge, St. Albert, North Battleford and Red Deer allow accounts to be in either an owner’s or a tenant’s name, but property owners must pay if the tenant fails to.

The city of Lloydminster had 491 accounts in default from 2014-16 totalling $249,445.

Property owners Ron Walker and his wife Chris Benson also made a pitch before council against the proposed change.

They noted the city has a mechanism in place to recover delinquent accounts, which is more efficient than having many landlords trying to navigate the system.

The couple noted if the draft bylaw is passed as is, landlords are not compensated for incurring the costs if a tenant leaves without compensating the owner for water used.

“The biggest thing is, it’s passing the collection of bills onto us,” said Mark Witzaney, who owns a duplex in Alberta and a couple of condos on the

Saskatchewan side.

He said as an owner, he would have to go and try to go after tenant to collect the bills.

“Sometimes my tenants leave or they get laid off or they separate and I’ve got problems” he said.

“So they can’t even pay the last part of their rent and all of a sudden I am going to be stuck with this water bill.”

He added water bills are sent out every two or three months and if tenants leave in between that, how does he know how much water they used?

The city argues there is less turnover of owners versus tenants and accounts would only switch if there is a tenant or ownership change.

Currently, 28 per cent of the city’s 10,000 accounts are in a tenant’s name.

The city said the cost to send accounts to collections is $52,900 a year, but they only recoup an average of 22 per cent of the money owed.

A council report says putting water and sewer accounts in owners names will save the city $100,000 a year in administration costs.

“The city never talked about raising the deposit rate,” said Witzaney.

“If they upped the deposit rate, they wouldn’t get nearly the arrears because people want to get their money back.”

Coun. Jason Whiting moved that council postpone second reading after getting a mixed reaction to the bylaw from friends who are property owners and property management companies.

“I felt it was necessary to get some more information about the topic before we actually go through a second and third reading and we all agreed on that today,” he said.

“That’s all we’re asking to engage more with our property owners and residents and administration to get some more clarification before we actually put the final stamp of approval on it.”

Jim Marr who owns a condo on the Saskatchewan side of the city also urges the city to double or triple the deposit on the meter deposit.

He said there’ll be no water conservation whatsoever with their plan if tenants don’t have to pay for water.

“In Saskatchewan there is no way to recover the utility bills—one month’s rent is all you can charge,” he said for a security deposit.”

Marr said he hopes property owners like him can get a petition up against the proposed account change before it comes back to council.

Letters to the editor Who’s running the show at City Hall?

Dear editor: (Monday’s) council meeting demonstrated thoughts and wishes of the council and public are being totally disregarded and the wishes of administration are the only wishes that count.

The tail is wagging the dog.

The June 25 council meeting saw a proposal to establish a central hub in the old Synergy Credit Union building.

This proposal was to be phase one to ascertain the merits and costs involved.

Prior this even happening an agreement to purchase was signed on July 14 ?

At July 25 meeting, a proposed bylaw to borrow $4.7 million was presented for the purchase and it received first reading prior to all the other possible

costs being received.

Done deal!

Procedure calls for a public hearing to be held prior to second and third reading.

Well the public hearing was pretty much redundant as the offer to purchase had already been made and a deposit of $250,000 paid out.

The copy supplied by administration to this taxpayer was devoid of proper signatures and, strangely enough, no subject too if the bylaw happened to be defeated.

If the bylaw had been defeated—as it should have been—deposit lost ? So total costs are unknown, rental rates to other possible users unknown, etc., etc. Tax increases coming again, gotta pay the piper some more.

There are less expensive alternatives; we noted the former United Furniture property listing at asking $1.65 million with a central location, building usable

Publisher: Reid Keebaugh General Manager: Kent Keebaugh Editor: Mike D’Amour Sales Manager: Deanna Reschny Production Manager: Karrie Craig

to start, paved parking for 100 cars according to the listing.

Save some money and build a much needed overpass by extending 66 Avenue to 52 Street and relieve the congestion at 44th and College Drive.

Citizens have been calling for one for years.

Such alternatives not even on the radar in administration.

Another item noted was the lack of following bylaw procedure No. 131 with three readings at the same meeting without consent of all council members?

Sec. 143 was also not acted upon in which all persons registering for public hearing shall be listed on agenda?

Remember all you taxpayers out there: Election is coming soon to a polling station near you.

John Van Cleemput Lloydminster

Booze bruised City sets location limits for liquor stores

by Geoff Lee geoff@lloydminstersource.com

New booze outlets in the city can’t set up shop within 300m of school, parks or existing community and recreation activities.

Lloydminster City Council amended section 2.5.1 of its land use bylaw to increase that distance for new liquor retailers from 100m after a motion by Coun. Jason Whiting.

Whiting said he sees it as way to reduce alcohol access to youth, but its passage was not without debate.

He said the amendment is a way to possibly slow down the number of liquor stores that are opening up in this community noting there is a lot them.

“It’s been commented to me by residents, by visitors by many people, so I think this is just one way to kind of pull back the reins,” he explained.

Whiting was partly swayed by a presentation to council by Lorelee Marin,

from YLL My Home, who noted there are 23 liquor stores and off sales stores in Lloydminster.

Coun. Linnea Goodhand, however, argued expanding the distance to 300m might limit legitimate businesses from opening in Lloydminster.

“The presentation by YLL My Home has come good points,”said Goodhand.

“I think we might have been a bit broad in expanding the prohibition as wide as 300m, but that’s what council approved today.”

The new proximity limits don’t apply to existing liquor retailers, but if an existing outlet closed and wanted to reopen, it would be subject to the new land use bylaw amendment.

Goodhand noted that with the new 300m proximity limit in place, 11 of 19 existing outlets that she counted in the city are non compliant.

For that reason she said, maybe the 300m prohibition is too large.

“There is always this dance we do between

thoughtful and respectful and meeting our citizens’ needs and not wanting to get in the way of legal businesses and their capacity to make money,” said Goodhand.

Lloydminster has one liquor outlet per 1,346 residents according to the YLL My Home group that promotes overall community health and wellness and drug and alcohol awareness.

That’s twice the alcohol outlet density of the City of Red Deer.

Whiting said time will tell if the amendment reduces alcohol consumption.

“I would hope and the data says, according to some of my friends who work for YLL My Home, that the access to liquor stores does have a direct effect on alcohol consumption,” he said.

“I hope this is a way to slow the pace and reduce the future use of alcohol a little bit in Lloydminster.”

He said it’s not changing anything that’s in place; but does affect future liquor stores.

Cabinet changes include new faces

Premier makes major changes “In the April election, we were fortunate that voters elected a number of very talented and capable new MLAs, creating the opportunity for renewal in our government,” Premier Brad Wall said.

“The new cabinet will have a strong blend of experience and new faces and will serve Saskatchewan well as we work to meet the opportunities and challenges facing our province.”

Five MLAs are entering cabinet, including four who become ministers for the first time: Tina Beaudry-Mellor becomes minister of Social Services and minister responsible for the Status of Women; Dave Marit becomes minister of Highways and Infrastructure; Bronwyn Eyre becomes minister of Advanced Education; Joe Hargrave becomes minister of Crown Investments Corporation, Saskatchewan Government Insurance

(SGI) and Saskatchewan Transportation Company; and Ken Cheveldayoff re-enters cabinet as minister of Parks, Culture and Sport and minister responsible for the Public Service Commission.

Veteran MLA and Minister Don Morgan becomes Saskatchewan’s new Deputy Premier. Morgan will continue to serve as minister of Education and Minister of Labour.

“Don Morgan has always been a leader in our government’s caucus and cabinet,” Wall said.

“His sound judgment and the respect he has earned among his colleagues made Don the clear choice for Deputy Premier.”

Finance Minister Kevin Doherty; Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart; Rural and Remote Health Minister Greg Ottenbreit; and Justice and SaskBuilds Minister Gordon Wyant all retain their positions.

Lloydminster and Lashburn raise MD awareness Lloydminster and the Town of Lashburn are standing up to help make muscles move.

They’re doing that by proclaiming the month of September as Muscular Dystrophy Month.

Proclamations such as this are the key to helping spread awareness and one day bring upon a cure.

There are more than 160 different types of neuromuscular disorders.

It is a multi-system disease that can attack any organ, and any set of muscles, leaving most individuals profoundly disabled, and often medically fragile.

A large percentage of children diagnosed do not see their 18th birthday.

Most types of neuromuscular disorders are caused by an error in a specific gene related to muscle function.

Other neuromuscular disorders appear related to a faulty immune system or a spontaneous gene

mutation with no family history.

It is not just a childhood illness—some are adult onset.

Over time, people with neuromuscular disorders may lose the ability to walk, speak, eat, and ultimately breathe.

For many individuals, the disorder is fatal.

There is currently no cure.

It is estimated that more than 50,000 Canadians are affected by a neuromuscular disorder.

“Without their efforts, we simply could not reach out to the people that need us,” said Geraldine Coolidge, Saskatchewan Community & Revenue Development, on behalf of Muscular Dystrophy Canada (MDC).

“We are truly thankful for Mayor Steven Turnbull and Mayor Rob Saunders and the communities’ desire to get involved and help make a difference,” she said.

“As well as to our volunteers for doing the work that helps to ensure that those living with a neuromuscular disorder can lead a fuller, more active life“ Coolidge said without those efforts, MDC simply could not reach out to the people that need them.

We are truly thankful for Mayor Rob Saunders, and the communities desire to get involved and help make a difference. As well as to our volunteers for doing the work that helps to ensure that those living with a neuromuscular disorder can lead a fuller, more active life”.

Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s mission is to help Canadians with neuromuscular disorders live a fuller, more active and independent life. Through equipment, research, education and outreach, we support Canadians affected by muscular dystrophy and all neuromuscular disorders. To learn more, visit www.muscle.ca.

Santa’s Christmas Angels to get early start It might seem a little early for talk of Christmas, but one Lloydminster resident is putting the word out early for her charitable holiday endeavour.

For close to six years now, Janice Procyshen has been giving the spirit of Christmas to local families in need by gathering donations of food and gifts so those down on their luck don’t have to do without.

After spending years pondering how fortunate her own kids had been during the holidays, Procyshen realized she wanted to provide that same experience for those who, for whatever reasons, couldn’t provide it for themselves. And thus, Santa’s Christmas Angels was born.

“My kids are in their 20s now, and I thought I just want to pick a family in need and give them a nice Christmas; of course I thought about it for many years and never did anything then I just said, ‘I’m going to do it,’” said Procyshen. “So I went on Facebook, because I knew I couldn’t do it on my own, and went on one of the groups and put it out there and I had a bunch of people messaging me, offering to buy this and that and it just kind of took off from there.”

When Santa’s Christmas Angels took off, she decided to pick two families a year to benefit from the project, for which she gathers donations of food and gifts for all the members of the families who are chosen.

This includes full breakfasts with items like bacon, sausage, eggs and

pancake mix, to entire Christmas dinners with the likes of turkey, stuffing, potatoes and produce.

Every member of both families, including the moms and dads, get about eight presents each to put under the tree as well.

“I put it out there usually around this time of year on a couple of the groups on Facebook and I give them a link to the (Santa’s Angles) group—I keep it kind of private, I don’t want the families to know,” she said. “People (in the group) will usually give me names and situations of families that could use it and I just kind of go from there.”

Procyshen generally likes to choose young families to receive the goods because the whole thing is very much geared toward providing children with the chance to experience the magic of

the holidays.

The reactions from the recipients over the years tend to end in tears of joy, said Procyshen, as it must be humbling for the families to have the deliverers show up, donning their Santa hats, and offering them so much good will and charity.

“It’s just important to let people know they’re not alone and to let them know what a great community they live in,” she said.

“Honestly, so many people want to help, it’s just unreal; it’s all about helping and caring and letting people know they’re not alone at Christmas.”

Anyone who wants to lend a hand or donate can contact Procyshen at jancar88@telus.net, or join her Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/ groups/1622514304744565.

The first schools MY LLOYDMINSTER

E

ducation of the pioneer children was a priority early on in the Colony. Just over a year after the Barr Colonists arrived, a public ratepayers meeting was held in June 1904 regarding school accommodation and the question of issuing debentures to equip a school building with the necessary supplies.

The trustees did not know how many students to expect and required this figure before planning a permanent school building.

As a temporary solution, they successfully negotiated renting the Anglican Church for $1 a month.

After the establishment of Alberta and Saskatchewan as provinces in 1905, once again, the provincial boundary created a challenge.

A. Hartley was our first teacher with 35 students registered.

Spelling, composition, and grammar were taught from available books.

In the early 1900s, teachers were advised to encourage students to think before speaking.

Students were required whenever possible to face the class when speaking and to use proper grammar and distinct articulation.

Frequent recitations arranged for all classes at school assemblies encouraged public speaking.

Students were encouraged to save an important statement to the last and to sit down promptly when finished speaking.

A student 14- or 15-years-old should be able to read well, spell the words he or she uses and have neat legible writing.

Students were to have knowledge of the world’s history especially of Canadian figures.

English must be spoken correctly and a well-expressed business or friendship letter be easily written.

Students were required to solve business problems correctly and to

ster High School (Saskatchewan) quickly ran out of room to accommodate the rapid community growth.

Adding more rooms in 1953, its name changed to the Lloydminster Composite High School.

A staff of eight teachers taught Grades 9-12.

Enrolment increased to more than 200 students by March 1953 with a quarter of this enrollment being out of town residents.

It’s interesting to note at this time all the educational public school classes were under Saskatchewan jurisdiction.

Enrolment averaged the same for both sides of the border.

During this time, many of the elementary students made do with classrooms set-up in local businesses or in a church.

This school was renamed the Neville Goss Elementary School in

1968 after the Lloydminster Comprehensive High School opened that same year.

Initiated in 1958, a dedicated board and a pair of educators spearheaded a school for students with special needs.

This directed the path for the eventual integration of all students into our schools offering an inclusive community spirit.

Established in 1960, the Lloydminster Catholic School Division formed, resulting in the building of the St. Thomas School.

This led to the construction of other schools, allowing these students to complete Kindergarten through Grade 12 in the separate division.

Education has no doubt seen considerable technological changes and advancements through the years, providing the youth of Lloydminster with a promising future.

A base of accurate information and an interest in reading the newspaper was a requisite for all students this age.

The Saskatchewan school opened in August 1910 with a staff of three and high school classes were taught for the first time.

Originally, offering elementary and high school classes a new four-room school opened in 1912.

This eventually changed and it served as a high school until 1949.

The Lloydminster Public School (Alberta) opened in 1925 and was later renamed the Meridian School.

Torn down in 1999 amidst local controversy to make way for the current city hall, this community centre was a cherished landmark on the border.

A meeting of the ratepayers was called in August to determine the provincial areas included in the new school districts and the division of its present assets and liabilities.

Two separate school boards resulted from this, Lloydminster School District No. 1036 (Saskatchewan) and Lloydminster School District No. 1753 (Alberta).

Establishing a joint board with representation from both school boards provided a more unified community vision.

In June 1905, tenders went out for the construction of a permanent school building to be made of either lumber or brick.

The first school building opened in 1906 on Main Street with two classrooms.

The newfound art of preserving PRAIRIE WOOL

by Helen Row Toews

The image of a harried, country housewife in an apron, blowing stray hairs out of her eyes as she bends to stir a pot on a scorching hot stove, is a vision that might leap to mind when some people think of canning.

It may be a scene from a 1950’s kitchen, but certainly doesn’t represent today’s resur-

gence of interest in this scrumptious endeavor.

There used to be a time when folks relied on gardens and the art of preserving to feed their families all year long.

Then, industry had us believing either we couldn’t do it for ourselves or they could do it better.

However, with the present turn back

SHOWROOM: 3005 - 50th Avenue Lloydminster (780) 871.0808 www.budgetblinds.com/lloydminster

Helen believes preserving our own food is a link to the past and “almost leads one to believe in the possibility of attaining self-sufficiency.”

towards healthy, whole foods and a respect for what grows naturally or can be grown around us, canning has taken on a whole new reputation.

Preserving our own food almost leads one to believe in the possibility of attaining self-sufficiency.

As though we could perhaps flee this rat race, have a milk cow, keep a few chickens and live off the land—and jam.

Not very practical, but an interesting thought and a dream I’ve indulged in once or twice, truth be told.

Back to reality, the short list of ingredients required to make jam, including fruit, sugar and pectin, make it sound foolishly simple to prepare.

There’s room for a small margin of error, but it all tastes dandy whether it’s a bit runny or too stiff.

I’ve made a lot of it in my day, most recently raspberry.

It’s quite gratifying to stand back and look lovingly at all the glistening,

ruby red jars lined up on the counter, awaiting the snap to signify they’ve sealed properly.

And, when the lid is popped open during a long, frigid winter, the sweet scent of summer goodness escapes.

It’s pungent fragrance brings back memories of luscious fruit hanging ripe and heavy under prickly branches and July sunshine seeping into your bones as you wend your way through thick bushes seeking it out.

Certainly canning isn’t limited only to the preparation of jam.

Almost anything can be preserved if done correctly.

It’s a labor intensive task but richly rewarding.

There’s a great sense of accomplishment to be had when you can stand back and admire shelves of glistening pots in every hue and colour as well as in eating the produce from your garden all year long.

It’s the same concept with all aspects of the harvest.

It just plain feels

good to generate your own food and nourish your family and animals by the labour of your own hands.

There’s something very primal about this need and very satisfying to the soul when all is safely stowed inside, protected from the elements and we can sit back and laugh in the face of Old Man Winter from our easy chair in front of a roaring fire, figuratively speaking.

The image of a homemaker slaving over an open fire as she preserves food for her family has transformed, but the belief that it’s the best alternative for us remains unchanged.

It’s encouraging to know the fine old art of canning is gaining in popularity once more.

Helen was born in Maidstone, SK. A the married mom of four has lived in the Lloydminster area most of her life. She lives on the family ranch near Marshall, Sask. and works as an EA and school bus driver in the local school. She has a deep-rooted appreciation of ranching, farming and all aspects of country living.

Imagine

GREEN FILE

by Mark Cullen www.markcullen.com

Hopefully you’re enjoying some hammock time and have entered a special zone that is reserved for late summer.

A time when you can think more freely: a time to imagine.

I have been in touch with Nick Saul, the president and CEO of Community Food Centres Canada.

And no, this is not a new grocery store chain, but rather a national non-profit that’s building vibrant, food-focused spaces in low-income communities.

Since I last interviewed Nick and CFCC, about two years ago, much has transpired and I think it is all very newsworthy.

Their work potentially impacts on all of us.

Nick, what are Community Food Centres and where are they?

Community Food Centres are dignified, welcoming spaces that bring people together to grow, cook, share, and advocate for good food for all.

Each Community Food Centre offers a mix of programs that strive to increase access to healthy food, build food skills, and provide peer support and education and engagement opportunities.

The exact program mix is determined by the needs of each community.

Every Community Food Centre has the same goals: to build better health, skills, connection, and belonging in the low-income communities that need it most.

There are eight established or developing Community Food

Centres in Canada: in Toronto, Stratford, Perth, Dartmouth N.S., Winnipeg, Calgary, and Hamilton.

Through our Good Food Organizations program, we’re also supporting 90 organizations in 56 cities with grants and resources that help them offer healthy- and dignity-focused programs in their communities.

What are the benefits of the Community Food Centre concept?

The idea of dignity through food is foremost in my mind these days.

Dignity, belonging, and equality.

We believe that people who have less shouldn’t be made to feel the lesser for it.

And that a good meal cooked with care and eaten with others can be the beginning of many amazing things.

We measure our impact in a number of areas: better access to healthy food, better food skills and physical health, better social connection and mental health, and better civic engagement.

We want to work with our communities to push for public policies that support people to live safe, healthy and hopeful lives.

You talk about the profound changes that can happen when people come together to grow their own food, learn how to prepare it and to celebrate it together.

Can you tell me more about that?

The power of food is something we see at our centres every day.

Because food is this incredible thing.

When you eat it together, you grow community and connection.

Through it you can express your culture and your background.

If you eat good food it energizes you and keeps you healthy.

When you grow food sustainably, it nourishes the soil and increases the health of our planet.

And when everyone has access to good food, you have inclusive, connected, and equitable communities.

That’s the vision we are igniting

Owner/Director - Sarah C. R. Makins 2016 Puerto Vaillarta Mexico

across Canada through our work.

What’s the future of that work Where is it leading?

Building welcoming places that meet people where they’re at and that provide engaging ways to eat healthier, meet friends and get involved in improving their neighbourhoods and circumstances is more important now than ever.

We see a future where every community has a Community Food Centre, just like every community has a library.

There will always be a role for places that bring people together and create ways for them to get engaged in their communities.

The future we see is a Canada where everyone eats well.

We need a bold re-imagining of the role food plays in our lives. In low-income communities for certain, and for all Canadians.

How can Canadians get involved?

You can visit the website for details on how to donate, volunteer or get

involved. www.cfccanada.ca We have an expression around here to never let a crisis go to waste.

Plant a Row, Grow a Row As we enter the harvest time of the gardening season it is worth reflecting on the value of sharing our resources with others who do not have access to fresh, healthy locally-grown food.

I urge you to consider donating your excess tomatoes, carrots and other garden-grown veggies and fruits to your local food bank.

This is called “Plant a Row, Grow a Row” and it’s as simple as that.

Plant a Row, Grow a Row is a program that is supported by the Composting Council of Canada.

More than you want to know about head lice

(NC) The head louse, a common parasite responsible for head lice infestations, is a term many Canadians are familiar with and potentially have had experience with, particularly Canadians who are parents with school-aged children.

However, irrespective of the broad awareness around head lice, parents still have many questions on treatment, management, and best practices when it comes to dealing with a head lice infestation.

With children soon heading back to school, it is important to remember that treatment of individuals found with live head lice is recommended.

“There is a lot of information, and more specifically, misinformation, around how to treat head lice, particularly with respect to home remedies,” says Victor Wong, a pharmacist from Toronto, Ont.

“When treating head lice, it is important to remember several things,” he said.

“First, you want to treat the infested individual as soon as possible. Second, you want to use a treatment that is safe, effective and convenient with respect to your lifestyle. Third, you want to try and use a treatment that works as quickly as possible.”

Traditionally, topical pesticides derived from pyrethroids (permethrin and pyrethrins) have been the mainstay of therapy.

However, the growing concern about head lice resistance to pesticide-based treatments has made other topical treatments more viable and effective options.

These treatments include Resultz, Siloxane, and Nyda. These treatments are pesticide-free and work in a different way than traditional pesti-

Vision care is the secret for backto-school success (NC) Back-to-school is often a hectic time for most parents as they scramble to check everything off their to-do lists. But even though vision is key to a child’s success at school, many parents forget to include eye exams in their latesummer prep.

If you’re one of these parents, it’s important to get your little scholar’s eyes checked as 25 per cent of school-aged children have a vision problem according to the Canadian Association of Optometry.

“Children easily adjust to their surroundings and often don’t realize they cannot see clearly because they assume everyone sees the same way they do,” explains Amber Fournier, a registered optician.

“More than threequarters of visual learning happens in the first 12 years of a child’s life, so back-to-school is the perfect time for parents to book an eye exam for their child. It’s important that kids are able to see the chalkboard and any print and online materials to help them succeed in the classroom.”

Experts recommend school-aged children receive an eye exam once a year. Most provincial health programs cover the cost of an annual exam for children up to 18. A regular eye exam can be the difference between success and failure for a child, and can even help explain learning difficulties.

For example, 60 per cent of learning disabilities are thought to stem from undiagnosed eye problems, and 60 per cent of children with reading difficulties may have an undiagnosed vision problem.

cides, thus avoiding any issues of resistance.

Treatment duration ranges from approximately 10 minutes to eight hours.

The physical removal of head lice is also an important step in the treatment of infestations.

Nit removal is a tedious and time-consuming procedure involving individual removal of nits from the hair, commonly found behind the ears and the nape of the neck.

This procedure can be done as an addition to medical treatment.

Soaking the hair with vinegar for 30 to 60 minutes to loosen the wax allows the nits to be combed out more easily.

If you are concerned that you or someone in your family has head lice, consult your pharmacist for the treatment and management regimen that is best suited for you.

Saskatchewan officially began using facial recognition software last week for all licenced drivers in the province.

Can’t remember the name, but the face ...

SGI is reminding customers that beginning last week, facial recognition software was in place when issuing driver ’s licences and photo identification cards.

“Facial recognition protects Saskatchewan residents from identity theft and it also prevents people from getting multiple licences or ID cards,” said Andrew Cartmell, president and CEO of SGI. “This enhances road safety for everyone because it means someone with a suspended or revoked driver ’s licence isn’t able to continue driving by getting a new licence under a different name.”

Facial recognition technology works behind the scenes.

Customers won’t notice anything different if they get a new photo taken or receive a new card.

Customers are not required to get a new photo or card until their current one

expires.

“The transition to facial recognition is seamless for customers, and we are pleased to provide enhanced security that our customers can count on,” said Cartmell.

“With this move, Saskatchewan joins most other Canadian provinces that are using facial recognition technology in their driver ’s licensing programs, as well as Passport Canada.”

When a photo is enrolled into the facial recognition system: The system creates a numerical template of the photo by using landmarks on the face, for example the distance between the eyes, the size and/ or shape of the eyes, nose, cheekbones and jaw.

Then, the system compares the numeric template of the new photo to the numeric template of the customer ’s previous

one (if the customer has an existing driver ’s licence/ photo ID card on file).

Next, it compares the numeric template of the photo to the numeric template of all other photos in the database, to confirm the photo is not associated with any other customer in the database.

There is no added cost to customers for facial recognition, and the driver ’s licence and photo ID cards continue to be valid for five years.

SGI announced its intent to move towards facial recognition technology in Oct. 2015, when a new vendor was selected for driver ’s licence and photo ID card production after a Request for Proposal process.

The contract was awarded to Veridos Canada Inc., that began producing Saskatchewan driver ’s licenses and photo ID cards on April 1.

Where to splurge and save on home décor (NC) We all know where to splurge and where to save when it comes to fashion—a good blazer is worth its weight in gold, while trendier pieces that go out of style are best bought at a discount store. But what’s the equivalent for home décor?

Read on to learn what pieces are worth investing in and where you can save a few bucks.

Some treasures are perfect as-is, and some require just a bit of paint to reveal the diamond in the rough.

Splurge: kitchen backsplash An attractive backsplash can make any kitchen stand out and look expensive.

It’s also a relatively small area, so a pricier tile won’t break the bank but will be sure to stand the test of time.

Save: bed linens.

These take quite a beating from frequent washing and aren’t visible to anyone but you and your partner, so don’t spend a fortune.

Bed linens are also an item where inexpensive doesn’t have to mean lower quality—you can often find higher thread count sheets on sale, and since they’re covered by the duvet you can get whichever colour is left.

And flowers and plants are nice to change along with the season, with bright florals looking great in the spring and summer, richer tones for fall and poinsettias during the holidays.

It’s also an easy way to quickly change a room’s style from contemporary to vintage or vice versa.

Try one of these top trends as an alternative to an expensive renovation.

1. Crisp white: This Scandinavian-inspired look is perfect for a simple and polished appearance.

White-washed wood surfaces bring an understated elegance to any room, working to reflect any natural light and opening up the space.

2. Weathered grey: Grey-washed wood

creates a rustic-chic look reminiscent of the country, the beach, and natural charm— think driftwood, barn boards, and weathered beach docks.

But you don’t necessarily need older wood pieces to create this lived-in look.

Choose a classic grey for a worn, beachy effect.

3. Bold black: Darklystained wood creates a crisp, modern look with timeless appeal.

Try a wood finish in ebony to achieve a rich hue.

To darken the colour

even more, apply multiple coats being sure to let them air dry between each application.

Create contrast in your space with lighter, neutral shades on the walls and surrounding décor.

Tip: Remember stains can alter the colour of your wood surfaces, but don’t provide the necessary protection to preserve your projects. For best results, it’s important to sand your projects first and finish them off with a protective clear coating once the stain has completely dried.

Cure kids’ picky eating with these four tips (NC) Picky eaters can be the bane of any parents’ existence—they whittle down dinnertime options and cause concern over whether they’re getting the nutrients their growing bodies need.

Even though there’s probably at least one picky eater in your family, the good news is that if approached correctly, a diet of chicken fingers and mac and cheese can be a passing phase instead of a life-long habit.

Here, Whitney Mabee, a registered dietitian, shares her top four tips for raising a food lover and curing picky eating.

1. Find free advice.

There’s a ton of nutritional resources available to parents, the majority of which are completely free.

Provincial health services offer websites dedicated to healthy eating strategies and contain a wealth of research and tips to expand your child’s eating horizons.

It may also be worth booking an appointment with a registered dietitian, as they’re an excellent way to get credible advice for your family.

Some grocery stores offer free dietitian services including store tours, recipe cards, and personal-

ized consultations.

2. Go with kids’ picks.

Kids are curious by nature—we’ve all seen them picking up or pointing out colourful or unusual fruits and vegetables.

Studies show children are more likely to try foods they’ve selected, so reward their sense of curiosity by letting them add fresh, nutritious foods to the cart.

Free fruit samples offered at many grocery stores are a great way for them to get a taste without having to commit to the whole product.

3. Get cooking.

Helping out in the kitchen is an effective way to foster a greater appreciation for food and create respect for the efforts parents make to put together nice meals.

Flip through a cookbook together for new meal and ingredient inspiration.

Cooking classes are also a fun way to get them excited about trying something new.

4. Lead by example.

Food choices are heavily influenced by the people around us.

Children take eating cues from siblings, friends, and parents. Share your enjoyment of food and don’t shy away from giving new foods a

It might take some doing, but you can change the ways of even your family’s pickiest eaters.

try yourself.

Instead of starting a standoff over a single Brussels sprout, explain to them that many foods are an

acquired taste.

It may take seven to 21 exposures before your child likes something new, so be patient.

Provincial parks get $239 million to offset underfunding Alberta’s provincial parks system will receive a $239-million injection of funds over the next five years.

Recreational users will soon see new and improved campsites, hiking trails, shower buildings, playgrounds, more picnic tables and campsites with power, expanded parking lots and refurbished day-use areas throughout the parks system.

“With nearly a million people moving to Alberta in the past decade, funding for parks barely covered routine maintenance and left little room to invest in new parks and amenities to meet increasing demand.” said Shannon Phillips, minister of environment and Parks.

“Our unprecedented investment in the provincial parks system is an investment in the wellbeing of Albertans, supports our move toward a diversified economy through increased tourism, and will create hundreds of jobs.”

This investment will be far-reaching and support implementation of Alberta Parks’ commitments under the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan (SSRP) ($50 million) and the Lower Athabasca Regional Plan (LARP) ($25 million).

It will also address facility upgrades and capital maintenance through $152 million in Capital Maintenance and Renewal (CMR) funding.

Alberta’s provincial parks are in dire need of increased maintenance funding to offset decades of neglect that have left many assets such as shelters, roads, visitor information centres and water systems in poor condition.

This money will also support work below the ground, such as water-line replacements and such cosmetic surface improvements as painting and campsite refurbishment.

Alberta’s provincial parks system is managed under five regions, all of which receive annual lifecycle maintenance funding to address priorities to enhance the visitor experience.

More than 100 provincial parks, provincial recreation areas and day-use areas in every region will benefit from government’s capital and main-

tenance commitment, with more than $38 million supporting projects, planning and flood mitigation this year.

Many projects are still in the design and planning stage, while others are at various stages of construction.

Regional projects include: Northeast Lakeland Provincial Park – addition of comfort cabinsEnglish Bay Provincial Recreation Area – campground redevelopment Northwest Young’s Point Provincial Park – playground and day-use area upgrades Lesser Slave Lake Provincial Park – parking lot converted to a camping area Central Blackfoot-Cooking Lake Provincial Recreation Area – trail system upgrade Wabamun Lake Provincial Park – expansion of parking lots Kananaskis West Bragg Creek Provincial Recreation Area – trailhead expansion Sibbald Lake Provincial Recreation Area – campground and day-use area expansion and upgrades South Cypress Hills Provincial Park – boardwalk redevelopment Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park – roadway upgrades and trail improvements

Connor Odelein is the only returning player from last year’s Lloydminster Bobcats RBC Cup team. The rest of the main camp roster will be made up of hopefuls looking to earn one of the many spots available on the team.

Every spot available on Bobcats

by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com

The next phase for the rebuild of the Lloydminster Bobcats will happen Friday, as the team opens their main camp for the upcoming season with every spot up for grabs for the over 70 players attending camp.

And it’s literally every spot, as the only returning player from last year’s Royal Bank Cup runners-up is Connor Odelein, who suited up for 48 games with the Bobcats last season, scoring six goals and 13 points.

Beyond him, the Bobcats will be a fresh new team at every position.

Lloydminster has announced many signings over the off season, which included local talent Kobe Walker and Jaxan Kaluski among others,

while trades have brought in goaltender Austin McGrath and forward Chasetan Braid to add to the local group.

They also landed Zach Webb, the Alberta Midget Hockey League’s second leading scorer last year and Tanner Brewster, who scored 18 goals and 30 points last season for North Battlefords midget AAA team.

With every spot open, a competitive camp is expected and a must, as the Bobcats look to rebuild for this season and the future under the a new head coach and general manager in Travis Clayton.

“We’re going to have a very talented camp,” said Clayton.

“There is lots of spots open and guys will be fighting every shift and every game. It will be an intense

three days.”

Camp opens on Friday with practices and scrimmages running throughout the weekend leading up to the annual intrasqaud game on Sunday night, where the 70 players will be reduced to 40 and split into two teams, giving the coaches and scouts a chance to see players in game situations.

With every roster spot available, Clayton will have his hands full trying to get a glimpse of every player on the ice.

But with assistant coach Kris Wiebe and new assistant coach Taylor Holt looking on, as well as new head scout Lance Achtymichuk and his staff, plenty of eyes will be on the players as they look to narrow the list down to 25 by the start of the season.

And the message to the players looking for a spot is simple; don’t take a shift off.

“The biggest thing is not to take a shift off because that might be the one shift that I see,” said Clayton.

“It could cost you because there is so much talent coming to this camp, you don’t want to take a shift off.”

Lloydminster will head to Bonnyville on Wednesday, Aug. 31 for their first preseason game before returning home against the Pontiacs on Friday, Sept. 2.

In total they will play six exhibition games before their Alberta Junior Hockey League season officially begins on Sept. 16 in Bonnyville.

Lloydminster’s first home game will be the return match with the Pontiacs on Sept. 17.

National tournaments tough to swallow for Liners

by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com

The Lloydminster Liners U16 girl’s softball team finished seventh in the country at the 2016 Canadian Fast Pitch Championship in Montreal, which was much better than their expectation for a top 10 finish.

However, there was still plenty of disappointment on the Lloydminster squad, as a chance at a medal was within their grasp, only for the team to miss out by one run.

After going 2-2 in round robin play, the Liners defeated the White Rock Renegades 8-5 in their first playoff game. They would have made the medal round even if they lost, just as long as it was within two runs. Unfortunately, against the Waterloo Ghosts, Lloydminster fell 5-2, while the Renegades, whom they beat earlier that day, would eventually go on to win the silver medal.

Top Row (L-R): Assistan coach Damon Clooney, Keelee Huff, Briar Balas, Jayden Souchotte, Samantha Meginbir, Cassie Matlock, Jensen Chorney, Emma Heck and head coach, Brett Harvie.

Front Row (L-R): Emily Delowski, Ally Sobus, Kaylee Domoney, Brooke Johnstone, Sadie Rusteika, Bubba Loehndord and Tyla Lee.

“Seventh overall is an extremely good finish for Alberta,” said Liners head coach Tracy Blanchard.

“But to think we were only one run away from getting into the medal round and the team we beat got a silver, it’s pretty hard to swallow.”

While they say it feels worse to finish just outside the medals than a littler further back, and the Liners did have some grieving time coming home from nationals, Blanchard said, with the amount of first year U16 players they had, there is still a silver lining in finish well above their expectations and almost in the medal rounds.

“Being that we only had a handful of second year kids, it was awesome to be able to finish in the top seven,” said Blanchard.

“Any time you can rank yourself in the top 10 in Canada, that’s a real feather in your hat. But when you’re that close and you know that had you got into the medal round you probably would have walked away with a medal, it’s heartbreaking to know you are that close.”

U18 win Confederation Cup

16083AA0

At the U18 Canadian Fast Pitch Championship in Charlottetown, the U18 Liners had to settle for a 10th place finish and Confederation Cup championship after an extra innings 4-3 loss to the Quebec Rebelles put them out of the top nine position needed to move on to the medal round.

Lloydminster out hit the Quebec squad 11-5, but left 14 stranded on base. They would sweep through the playoff rounds with convincing victories before defeating the Saskatoon Selects 8-1 in the Confederation Cup final.

While a top 10 finish isn’t something to be disappointed about, it was still hard to take considering the Liners were a run away themselves from entering the medal round.

“Any time you are in the top 10 in the country it’s not something you should be disappointed about,” said U18 Liners head coach Brett Harvie.

“But just the way we ended up there instead of higher is tough to swallow.”

The extra inning loss was indicative of the Liners season, as a runner left on base or an error in the field or missed chance at an out would come back to bite the Liners in the end.

With the amount of chances Lloydminster had in the Quebec game, especially in three extra innings, it’s a missed opportunity for the Liners to get into what Harvie believed, would have been a top six finish, considering as well that the Liners lost two extra inning games.

Now the focus turns to next year, which will see the U18 Liners and the City of Lloydminster play host to the national tournament. With seven players returning next year who now have national experience, it has put the Liners in a good position to be in the championship side of the draw when the host the best from across the country.

“We got a really good core to start building around,” said Harvie.

“Rightfully so, expectations should be high and a large part of that should be on making sure we get the right mix of kids that are going to be able to put in the time to work to maximize that potential reasonable! and dealing with the pressure because there Lloydmall is going to be a lot of 780.875.0203 pressure on that team.”

Reapers come from behind for draw

by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com

The Lloydminster Reapers needed some late game heroics against the Grande Prairie Centaurs on Saturday, as they found themselves down 17-3 later in the second half.

Two tries late and some stonewall defence on their own goal line helped even the Reapers on the scoreboard, as they walked away with a 17-17 draw in their second last game of the season. “I knew they were going to come with a tough squad,� said Josh Dickson, Reaper player and part time coach. “They came out and played a solid game. To get the tie and split the points with them is huge.

Obviously we would have wanted the win, but a tie is the next best thing.�

With one week remaining in the regular season in the Edmonton Rugby Union (ERU), Lloydminster is off on Saturday, as Cold Lake Penguins, their last week opponent, forfeited their final meeting.

With a playoff spot already locked up, the Reapers are thinking home field advantage, something they had last year as well.

However, due to their playoff game being against Grande Prairie, they decided to meet halfway late in the season.

But this year, should the Reapers gain the advantage, they are coming home for sure, as they want to play their first home playoff game since the club returned to action at the start of last season. “We still want the home field advantage for the fans and for us,� said Dickson. “It’s always a little nicer to play that game at home.�

At 7-3-1 for the season, Lloydminster started strong with three straight victories before swapping wins and losses in the middle part of the schedule.

With the forfeit win, the Reapers need to wait out the final week of play in the ERU to see if they do indeed get another home playoff game.

It already is the second time is as many years the team has got to the ERU playoffs since joining the

league in 2015, showing the talent the team already has and the talent that is being developed around the area. “It shows with a lot of the development we have going on around here with the Lloydminster Comp and Lashburn Lucky and just the players we have showing up throughout the season,� said Dickson. “To be in the top three of the league is huge for our first and second year here.�

The tie verses Grande Prairie, however, was another example of the Reapers having to come back late in a game. They did so earlier in the season against the Leprechaun Tigers in a 32-31 victory which saw the Reapers score, literally, on

the last play of the game.

With playoffs just around the corner, it is one area of concern for the Reapers, but Dickson is confident Lloydminster will be ready to play a full game once playoffs come around. “I don’t know what it is with the guys, we seem to take our skill for granted and come out slow for the first 20 minutes,� said Dickson. “As the game gets on, we get our head back into game mood. In the last 20 we seem to pull it out and play the game we want to play. “You definitely don’t want to start slow in playoffs, but they are a whole different creature.

Everyone seems to step up their game.�

Barons prep for weekend jamboree

by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com

The Lloydminster Comprehensive Barons won their first provincial game in quite some time last year when they knocked off the Austin O’Brien Crusaders 30-2.

They missed out on going back to an Alberta Bowl final losing to the St. Joseph’s Celtics, but it was still an achievement for the Barons and a step in the right direction.

Now entering this season, the Barons are a young team, with their defensive line, quarterback and running backs all being first time starters.

The goals may not be as high as an Alberta Bowl championship this year, but head coach Aaron Harper keeps his concerns only on improving day by day and letting the football play itself out on the field.

“We just want to get as far as we can go,” said Harper. “We are a young team. I’m not sure we’ll be dominate right from the start, but our goal is to get better every single day and by the end of the year we’ll be a good football team.”

This weekend the Barons travel to Cold Lake where they will take part in jamboree style exhibition games with the Cold Lake Royals and the Winston Churchill Bulldogs from Lethbridge, giving the Barons a chance to play two teams they won’t play throughout the regular season, as the Royals are in the opposite pool in the Wheatland Football League.

With a young team, Harper wants to get every player in and give them

on their own in the off-season in order to prepare for athletics during the school year, not just football, will pay off and show players how much work it will take to become a great

athlete.

“Guys that want to be great and want to be good football players will put in the work,” said Harper.

“Guys who don’t will get left in the dust. It’s an accountability thing. It’s a point where guys have felt the pain of losing, felt the pain of being a poor football team and they don’t want to feel that pain anymore.”

With last year’s quarterback Kirk Haan and running back Mitch Andony both graduating, both positions are wide open. Harper is excited about the prospect of having both positions be highly contested for and said he has a group of Grade 11 players who are all fighting for the few starting spots in those high profile positions.

The jamboree this weekend could start to see some of the holes in the Barons line up being to be filled, but with Harper always holding players accountable, nothing is ever guaranteed, but earned.

“Competition is a great thing and someone is going to step up,” said Harper. “As coaches, it’s just a matter of keeping it simple, don’t throw the whole playbook at them in one day. Let them get their bearings, get their feet moving and let them hit the ground running once they figure things out.

“But at the end of the day, I want to be better at the end of practice than I was at the beginning and even better tomorrow and that is always what we are focusing on.”

Raiders look outside league for games

by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com

The Wheatland Football League (WFL) will always be home to the Holy Rosary Raiders, as it’s the league they need to win in order to have a shot at another Alberta Bowl championship game.

But after a one-sided 55-0 loss to the Cochrane Cobras in last year’s Alberta Bowl Tier 3 championship, the Raiders understood that they were not playing the calibre of football all year long that they needed to play in order to compete at Cochrane’s level.

That’s why the Raiders added two exhibition games to their schedule this season, giving their players a chance to play very competitive programs early in the season before getting into the thick of the WFL schedule.

This weekend they will travel up to Grande Prairie to take on the St. Joseph’s Celtics, a team that defeated the Lloydminster Comp Barons last year in provincials in Tier 2, before losing the Alberta Bowl final, while on Sept. 9, Holy Rosary will meet up with the Cardston Cougars, a team that lost to Cochrane in the provincial playoffs last season, but only lost 49-42.

“It’s a couple of things, you get to play outside your league so you get to see someone different and you play a high calibre team, so the pace is going to be quick,” said Raiders head coach Vince Orieux.

“That is how we want to start the season. We don’t care if we win or lose, we want to play a team that is

worth playing to start our season. We are in a good league, a strong league, but we want to play someone outside our league to start the year.”

If the Raiders do make it four straight trips to the Alberta Bowl game, Orieux doesn’t want the speed of the game to be a surprise to the starters on his team.

Last year, due to an incredibly deep roster, the Raiders were able to build quick leads on smaller schools on the WFL, which brought their starters out of the game early in the first quarter.

By the time they reached Cochrane in the Alberta Bowl final, some of the starters had only played a handful of quarters in league play due to being pulled throughout the season. And it showed against the Cobras, as Holy Rosary wasn’t prepared for what one of Alberta’s most elite football teams would throw at them.

“Last year we felt that our last game of the season was our toughest game obviously, and we weren’t prepared to play at that speed,” said Orieux.

“We want to play a team in a higher tier with a strong pedigree and a good winning history. Going into the provincial final, (St. Joseph’s) was on pace to win 30 games in a row. We know what we are up against, but that is what we want, a high quality football team that are going to show these guys what it is all about.”

Another part of the season the Raiders are taking to the road for exhibition games is to offer their players the best football experience they can. It was a commitment Orieux said the school made to the players and parents, and finding

exhibition games against quality teams is one way for the team to fulfill that promise.

It also gets the Raiders ready to play a team they haven’t played before, as by the time they hit provincials, they are playing teams outside the WFL. Southern Alberta football programs have been powerhouses in the past, so it just gets the Raiders better prepared for what they could face in the Alberta Bowl. That is, of course, if they take care of business in the WFL first and earn their spot in the provincial playoffs.

“We have 100 per cent loyalty to the WFL,” said Orieux. “There is good football in the Wheatland. We

had kids make Senior Bowl, kids on Team Alberta, teams win provincials at the minor level, so the football is good, it’s just an opportunity to play other teams.

“We like playing in the Wheatland, but the reality is, there are some communities that are small and they continue to have challenges getting numbers, so we will have to pull starters early on in games and that is not fair to our opponent and our kids, so if we can find additional games to get quality reps for all our guys, that puts us in a good position.”

Holy Rosary will start the WFL season on Sept. 2 at home against the Cold Lake Royals.

Little faith in the Canadian food system Did you know only 30 per cent of Canadians believe the Canadian food system is heading in the right direction?

And that 93 per cent of Canadians know little or nothing about Canadian farming practices?

These findings, from recent research done by the Canadian Centre for Food Integrity, are alarming and should be of concern to everyone involved in the food system in Canada—from farmers, to processors, to retailers.

What can we do about it and how can we get our message out?

The good news is that while many Canadians know little about farming, over 60 per cent indicated that they would like to know more.

As farmers and the food industry, we have a huge opportunity to engage with Canadians and build trust in our food system.

The task of getting our message out is extremely difficult. No one industry or organization can do the work that needs to be done; it has to

be a collaborative effort.

There are many excellent Canadian initiatives underway—each with a slightly different focus and mandate but each providing important tools to promote Canadian food, farmers, and agriculture.

Farm & Food Care, Agriculture More than Ever, and Agriculture in the Classroom, along with countless commodity specific programs all at various stages of their growth, are doing tremendous work in being agricultural advocates.

A few weeks ago I was honoured to become chair of Farm & Food Care Canada.

For those who haven’t heard of this organization, it’s a framework of farmers, food companies, input suppliers, and associations created in 2011 with a mandate to provide credible information about food and farming in this country.

Farm & Food Care Canada is also home to the Canadian Centre for Food Integrity (CCFI). The CCFI will be another source of credible

information on food and farming related issues—information and research that has been compiled by trusted professionals within the Canadian and U.S. food industries.

One of the key elements related to the structure of Farm & Food Care Canada is the collaborative approach that it brings to the table.

The ability to collaborate and work together with the groups mentioned above—and others—is unique and gives us a great opportunity to connect with consumers.

As we move forward, it is critical that all of us involved in the Canadian food industry (yes, that includes farmers) must put our personal agendas and biases aside and work together to get the good news story out about Canada’s food system. If we don’t tell our story, who is going to talk to the 60 per cent of Canadians that want to know more about farming?

Over the last few years, we have seen some common farm practices—practices that we as

farmers think are normal—come into the spotlight.

As a result, some poultry and hog farmers are facing the fact that they’ll have to adopt new, costly housing methods for their livestock and some crop farmers will have to adopt alternative methods to protect the seeds they plant.

I can’t help but think that if there was a framework such as Farm & Food Care Canada 25 years ago, and if the average Canadian consumer had better access to accurate information, then maybe some of the challenges we face today could have been overcome.

The work ahead is huge and we will not have success overnight.

However, the ground work that we lay together as a united agriculture and food industry today will help to ensure that the Canadian food system is trusted, healthy, sustainable, and robust for years to come.

Looking back at of biotech crops (NC) It’s been two decades since farmers planted the first commercially approved biotech crops, also known as genetically modified organisms or GMOs. And although plant biotechnology continues to stir heated debate on both sides of the issue, it has seen some fairly compelling achievements in the last 20 years that benefit farmers, consumers, and the environment.

These technologies help save more than 35 million acres of forest, native grass, and wetlands and protect our biodiversity.

Without them, we would need to farm almost 50 per cent more land to grow the same amount of food— that’s more than the total land area of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island combined.

Globally, 18 million farmers in 28 countries are growing biotech crops, of which 90 per cent are smallholder farmers.

By growing these crops, farmers have increased yields by 22 per cent in the last 20 years, and biotechnology has added $133.5 billion US to global farm incomes.

In Canada specifically, plant biotechnology and crop protection

mean Canadians pay less for food— about 55 per cent, or $4,400 per family, less per year than if all food was produced organically.

Economically, the plant science industry contributes almost $10 billion to Canada’s GDP every year.

In India, biotech cotton has increased farmer incomes by 50 per cent and turned the country into the world’s second-largest cotton producer.

Overall, the technology has helped

16.5 million farmers worldwide escape from poverty.

From an environmental perspective, biotech crops have led to a 28 billion kilogram reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, which is the equivalent of taking all the cars in London, England off the road for five years.

And by using biotech crops, farmers have saved 132 million hectares of land from being cultivated for farming.

Looking to the future as the climate changes, the population grows, and resources become scarcer, biotechnology has the potential to positively impact the health and welfare of millions of people around the world.

Drought-tolerant corn varieties can feed 300 million people in Africa during times of water scarcity, for example, and a new variety of rice has the potential to keep 500,000 children from going blind.

New exec. dir. at Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan Today, Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan (FFC SK) announced last week that Clinton Monchuk, current CEO of Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan, has accepted the position of executive director for the organization tasked with promoting awareness of the province’s agriculture industry.

He is scheduled to begin Oct. 1.

FFC SK is a non-profit group that seeks to build confidence in Saskatchewan food production—to let consumers know the food we produce is healthy, safe and responsibly grown; that farmers and ranchers are innovative, technologically advanced and care deeply about the animals and land they work with.

With less than two per cent of Canadians having a direct link to the farm, concerted consumer outreach is more important than ever.

“We need to share what we do, how we do it and why it matters to all of us in a language and in ways that consumers can understand and appreciate.” says Shannon Meyers, chair of the FFC SK Board.

“Clinton has a contagious passion for agriculture and will do an exceptional job of spreading that message.”

Monchuk grew up outside of Lanigan, Sask. on a family dairy, beef and grain farm.

In 2000 he received his Bachelors of Science in Agriculture from the University of Saskatchewan, with a major in Agricultural Economics, and went on to complete his master’s in Business Administration in Agriculture from the University of Guelph.

Clinton’s long, successful career has taken him to Guadalajara, Mexico, Washington, D.C. and Ottawa, Ont., in the fields of agricultural research,

education, advocacy and policy development.

Since 2007 he served as CEO of the Chicken Farmers of Saskatchewan and participated in multiple boards and community initiatives.

Clinton and his wife Laura, along with their children Jackson and Katelyn, continue to be active partners on their family farms.

“Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan is an organization I have supported since its launch two years ago and I am very excited to be assuming the role of executive director,” said Monchuk.

In May, Adele Buettner, current head of FFC SK and principal of AgriBiz Communications Corp., which serves as the management team for FFC SK, announced she will be stepping back as lead and her company would return to its core business model, which is to provide leadership, project and communications management in the agriculture sector.

Two houses, three stories MIDWEST MINUTE

by Vern McClelland www.vernmcclelland.com

I

was out listing a vacant house one morning last week.

It promised to be a dreary, cloud filled day so unusual for fall in the Midwest.

Maybe my mood was reflecting that because as I pulled out of the driveway after measuring the rooms, recording floor coverings, taking still photos and video for the virtual tour, hanging the lockbox then finally installing the “For Sale” sign on the front lawn I couldn’t help but feel a little sad about the circumstances surrounding this particular listing.

You see I had sold this house to the owners about seven or eight years ago.

They were new to the community then, expecting a child, and excited about life in general.

We looked at a half dozen houses before they picked this one, a modest three bedroom bungalow, fundamentally sound, but needing some TLC. I would bump into them every few months and get a progress report.

First came paint inside, then a fence, garden and deck. The basement was remodeled with the help of an uncle then, three years ago, I noticed a garage going up.

At the time I chuckled to myself because in our initial tour the husband had badly wanted a garage for his quad and sports car, unfortunately that wish had lost out to more pressing priorities, like a nice room for a nursery!

Last fall he lost his life after a short battle with an aggressive cancer. His wife tried hard to keep living there but finally decided that she could no longer stay in the home they had created together.

There were just too many memories.

There is a story behind every house for sale.

I was once asked to come out to an acreage in the south part of our region by the elderly couple that owned it.

You could tell as soon as you drove in the yard that every inch of the property was loved as it showed like a prairie Butchart Gardens.

You learn in the real estate business every sale has a story; some happy, some sad.

Realtors sell land and buildings but in this case the first thing on the agenda was a guided tour of the flower beds.

Now my mother had kept a farm yard the same way, so to me it was like going back in time.

When we finally stopped for tea in the kitchen of the old one and-a-half storey home, the man asked his wife for permission to speak to me frankly.

She agreed.

Apparently I had passed muster because they proceeded to tell me that poor health was forcing them to move before winter and did I think I could find someone who would continue to care for the place like they did?

That’s a tough position to be put into for buyers have their own priorities and they may want horses or goats instead of flowers.

I had no choice but to tell them the truth, half expecting to be shown the door.

Instead there was a few moments of silence followed by a frank discussion about growing old and letting go.

I suggested they let the community know of their intentions, and invite whoever wanted

perennials for their own gardens to drop in.

When I came back to list in the fall, they proudly told me that several dozen families had taken them up on the opportunity.

Cuttings and rootstocks of their heritage garden were by now gracing yards in at least three provinces.

It made the transition to town life so much easier for them.

But the story doesn’t stop there.

A couple of years later one of their neighbours called and asked me to drop by for a coffee to talk about farmland.

By their front step was the most gorgeous of lilies blooming.

The owners told me the plants had come from that same elderly couple and served as a reminder every summer about the importance of sharing and what inspires us.

I couldn’t help but agree.

Simple ways to get your kids on your clean team

(NC) As summer ends and we prepare ourselves for a return to routine, back-toschool is the perfect time for implementing new organization systems.

It’s also the right time to get the kids involved in daily cleaning tasks.

In fact, divvying up household responsibilities can help instill a sense of accountability in your child and even bring family members closer together.

Here’s how to get everyone working together to create order and whip your home into tip-top shape: 1. One family. One calendar.

Organization experts recommend keeping a large, easy-to-read

calendar in a central location of the home.

It’s a great place to create a task list and assign each family member their own specific duties.

Ensure that the whole family references the calendar at the start of each day.

2. Take the bore out of chore with a reward system.

Interactive charts are a fantastic way to make daily chores fun.

Use stickers or magnets to indicate completed tasks and establish rewards when a child has reached their goals.

This can be done on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

Think of new incentives every few weeks, such as a trip to park,

choosing the restaurant for dinner, or by spending a day with their favourite friend or family member.

3. Invest in kidfriendly cleaning appliances.

Keep a cordless vacuum or hand vac in high-traffic zones for kids to easily grab and pitch in when necessary.

4. Make organization personal.

Identify the household trouble zones like the front closet, mud room or kitchen.

Introduce organizers such as shoe bins, file systems, and hangers to keep things tidy.

Hang a rechargeable handheld vacuum for quick cleanup of dirt, spills, and messes.

Making chores fun can go a long way to getting the kids involved with keeping your home clean

5.

Practice the 10-minute tidy.

Set aside time every day after dinner or before bed to get the

family involved in a quick 10-minute tidy.

Make it a race or throw on some music and make it fun.

A little less clutter will help parents relax at the end of a long day and set the stage for better morning.

(CMHC) stats released last week.

The trend is a six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts.

“July’s housing starts continued to pick up pace, as construction strengthened in BC and Ontario’s multiunit segments,” said Aled ab Iorwerth, CMHC’s deputy chief economist.

“This reflects continued strong demand for lowerpriced homes and low inventories of completed and unsold new units.”

CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more

complete picture of the state of Canada’s housing market.

In some situations analyzing only SAAR data can be misleading, as they are largely driven by the multiunit segment of the market which can vary significantly from one month to the next.

The standalone monthly SAAR for all areas in Canada was 198,395 units in July, down from 218,326 units in June.

The SAAR of urban starts decreased by 9.9 per cent in July to 182,620 units.

Multiple urban starts decreased by 13.3 per cent to 123,630 units in July and the singledetached urban starts decreased by 1.8 per cent to 58,990 units.

In July, the seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts

Full steam ahead for a perfect clean (NC) If you’re like most of us and lead a busy life, then you know what it’s like to run out of steam at the end of the week.

As a result, cleaning doesn’t always get our full effort.

After all, just the idea of all that scrubbing, mopping and sanitizing is enough to make you tired.

But what if you could get a deep, sanitized clean without those sore muscles that follow?

One of the best ways to prevent running out of steam is, in fact, by using steam.

Blast away grime with little effort by using a steam cleaner.

This must-have appliance is ideal for sealed hard floors, tile, grout, fixtures, barbeque grills,

windows, mirrors, appliances (think that greasy mess inside and on top of your stove) and more.

Highly versatile, it can also clean carpets, furniture, and mattresses; refresh and de-wrinkle drapes and clothing; and power away dirt and stains on patio furniture and car rims.

Experts suggest selecting a steamer with a wide range of multi-purpose and specialized attachments to ensure there’s a tool for every job.

Units that feature a removable handheld steamer can make above-floor tasks much easier.

It’s also a good idea to look for a model that lets you add detergent for the ultimate fresh clean.

Arm yourself with a steam cleaner, and you’ll be prepared to handle any mess, full steam ahead.

Steam that dirt and grime away.

We the family of the late Wayne Stanley Johnson wish to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who helped and offered their help in any way during Wayne’s illness and after his passing. To all who visited Wayne in the hospital in Edmonton and after he arrived home. As well as those who brought food to the house, the phone calls, the visits, the hugs, the kind words, cards of condolences, Facebook and text messages and also the donations to various charities in memory of our beloved Wayne.

Special thanks to the home care team. Marion, Barret and Sherri Phisterer (RN) for their loving care and concerns for Wayne’s health. To Oscar and Debbie Buck and family for coming to be with us the day Wayne passed away. For many years they have truly considered Wayne as a part of their own family.

Also to Wayne and Darleene (Wayne’s grade 5-6 teacher). Skinner for reading the special verses at the funeral service. They too for many years have truly considered Wayne as a part of their own family.

We would also like to say thank-you to family and friend’s. Some of whom travelled long distances to attend Wayne’s celebration of life. To Mr. Carmen Ostero of Barons, AB (Wayne’s grade 2 teacher). To Ron Guenther for driving to Lloydminster from his ranch at Youngstown, AB, to also attend Wayne’s service. Wayne was always so concerned that you would be running short of bales. The attendance of everyone was greatly appreciated.

Thank-you to the pallbearers, the Gabrielson family for snowplowing at the cemetery prior to the service. To Spiros Family Restaurant management and staff for their hugs, condolences and always the delicious meal following the celebration of life.

Lastly, thank-you to the McCaw family. Joel, Brett, Glenn, and Dave for your kind compassionate manner as always.

God Bless You All Wayne enjoyed coming to the farm for breakfast/coffee to plan the days agenda. When asked what he would like for breakfast, his reply was always the same, “What are my options?”

Those daily visits will always bring back more fond and loving memories of Wayne as he will be deeply and truly missed.

We Remember You Boomer In the rising of the sun, And in its going down, We remember you.

In the blowing of the wind, And in the chill of winter, We remember you.

It’s obvious to everyone but you, Libra. Take off your blinders and see the situation for what it really is. A change in décor at home inspires more changes.
