City flush with cash for wastewater plant

Lloydminster Mayor Gerald Aalbers is flanked at City Hall on the left by Battlefords-Lloydminster MP Rosemarie Falk and Lloydminster MLA Colleen Young on the right, for an announcement June 27 morning on federal and bi-provincial funding for the new $81.5 million wastewater treatment plant for the city.

..................................

The projected $81.5 million cost of the City of Lloydminster’s new mechanical wastewater treatment plant is now fully funded.

Shovels are expected to be in the ground early next year following some basic engineering.

Mayor Gerald Aalbers broke the news at city hall on June 27, announcing $24.1 million from the federal government, $12.7 from Alberta and $12.1 million from Saskatchewan with the balance from the city.

“It’s been a long time coming and we’ve been waiting patiently and it’s been a process,” said Aalbers.

“Trying to work with two different provincial governments and the federal government can give us challenges, but this is one of those times we can say it’s an opportunity—it’s a huge sense of relief.”

Aalbers says the funding gives the city the chance to build a facility that can be

expanded beyond the next 10 or 20 years as the city grows.

“We are planning for the future. If the city grows, we can add on to the plant,” said Aalbers.

He called the funding a crucial first step moving forward.

Once the funding arrangement is in place, the city will proceed to develop the plant using an Integrated Project Delivery model that council previously approved.

The model involves integrating existing infrastructure into the development.

The three cells that make up the city’s existing plant will be integrated into the new system to serve as storage for stormwater during periods of heavy rainfall and

sludge requiring longterm digestion.

“You’ll see a special city council meeting next week to move this forward,” said Aalbers.

He noted the current lagoon system will be operational and in place until they turn on the new wastewater treatment plant.

The construction of a new wastewater treatment plant will allow the city to meet new federal environmental regulations for the discharge of effluent into the North Saskatchewan River.

The finished project will also help safeguard regional waterways like West Neale Lake and ensure its treated water meets federal and provincial standards well into the future.

“I believe it shows

that we’re good stewards; we’re taking a position on the environment because the environment is import ant f or all u s,” said Aalbers.

“It’s also important to work with our regional neighbours.”

A new wastewater treatment plant could also benefit regional communities that are currently supplied with treated drinking water from Lloydminster.

“Now we may be able to help with wastewater and improve the lives of a lot of people in the community as well as (the) surrounding area,” said Aalbers.

“That was critical to the funding, telling the government that we want to work with our neighbours.”

Lloydminster MLA Colleen Young worked with the mayor and council advocating for improvements on the existing treatment plant and the new wastewater treatment plant.

Council green lights wastewater plans GEOFF LEE

WRITER

..................................

City council has given the City of Lloydminster the green light to build the new Mechanical Wastewater Treatment facility using its Integrated Project Delivery process.

Council also approved a maximum project cost of $81.5 million during a special meeting Wednesday morning.

In addition, they approved a qualifications-based selection process to select a general contractor.

“It’s a great feeling from my perspective; we’ve done this as a team—it’s a great day for Lloydminster; we’ve secured funding,” said Mayor Gerald Aalbers who noted the process comes with some hiccups.

The city, for instance, won’t meet its regulatory timeline from Saskatchewan Water Security Agency (SWSA) and Environment Can-

ada to have the plant up and running by Dec. 31, 2020—with a May 2023 completion date.

Aalbers says the city will request an extension of the operating permit from the SWSA administered through the provincial Minister of Environment.

There is also a federal government directive from Environment Canada to complete climate change assessments as a requirement of funding.

“We’ll be addressing that with the minister very shortly and members of cabinet to help them understand our dilemma,” said Aalbers.

“We were told we couldn’t move forward without the funding. I am hoping we can come to a reasonable solution on this, otherwise, in 2020 we’ll have an interesting discussion.”

He says there might be a fight with regulators.

The new plant will enable the city to meet

the effluent guidelines and regulations of Environment Canada and SWSA. Aalbers hopes the city can avoid any fines and penalties over the delay.

He says it wouldn’t make much sense to be penalized after the federal government contributed roughly $24.2 million.

“I hope we can come to an amiable solution. I think we started that today with the announcement of the funding moving this project forward,” said Aalbers.

“We’re taking the initiative as best as we can.”

The funding includes up to $12.7 million from Alberta and up to $12. 1 million from Saskatchewan with the city chipping in about $32.5 million.

Coun. Jonathan Torresan says all the project money is not in the bank.

“There’s going to be submissions by the city to get the remainder of the funding based on different project timelines and specific phases as they’re completed through different levels of government,” he said.

The city has allocated $9 million to the project in its 2019 budget with the first phase in the IPD process being Requests For Proposals.

Terry Burton. director of planning and engineering says they will be issuing a RFP within the next couple of weeks.

“That selection process is going to take us to October when the general contractor and technology vendor will be chosen,” says Burton.

Aalbers says there could be some fabrication work in 2020 with ground breaking likely taking place in 2021 depending on how fast everything comes together.

Young says the city has seen extensive growth since the current plant was built and credits Aalbers for securing the funding for its replacement.

“Since he’s been elected, he’s been a strong advocate for working with both the provincial governments, myself and the federal government and whatever partners he could find in Alberta to get this project done,” said Young.

“It is a big deal for Lloydminster.”

Young says there are lots of components to the project, but none more important than the environmental aspects.

She says the existing system had reached the point where it wasn’t meeting environmental standards.

“Kudos for the mayor for ensuring that there were partners that were coming on board and funding was put in place in order to get this project done.”

Albers noted no local companies have been awarded any contracts yet for construction other than the consultants in place.

“We’ll move forward from there,” he said.

Also in attendance for the funding announcement was Battlefords-Lloydminster MP Rosemarie Falk and other city officials.

Synergy, TD fund outdoor space

Geoff Lee Meridian Source

Jessica Retzleff, wealth management assistant at Synergy Credit Union, presented a cheque for $1,082 for the outdoor space at Mother Teresa Early Childhood Education Centre, last Wednesday with help from these three students who also raised funds. Photos were taken at a gym assembly to celebrate Grade 2 grad and outside the school.

..................................

Mother Teresa Early Childhood Education Centre students got a last-minute lesson in community support before the summer recess.

The school held a special assembly in the gym last Wednesday to applaud the presentation of two corporate cheques from Synergy Credit Union and TD bank for an outdoor learning space.

The Grade 2 grads were given high fives by other students as they filed into the gym for the proceedings and cheque ceremonies on the second last day of school.

Special mention was

given to students Philip Shorte, Chris Daniel Prila and Dominic Matula who also raised funds for the outdoor space and accepted the cheques.

Synergy Credit Union presented the first cheque for $1,082 on behalf of the Synergy Fundraising Committee to the delight of principal Sheila Jurke.

“We were just really excited because they contacted us on their own accord. They have an internal staff fundraiser and they chose our school and our outdoor learning space to donate that money to,” said Jurke.

The Lloydminster TD branch also presented a

cheque for $9,082 with cheers from the assembly for the contribution of their peers.

Jurke noted the three standout students contributed a lot to that outdoor learning space themselves so they were chosen to accept the cheques.

“Some of them have collected bottles, some of them have helped collect donations through their parents’ work, and some of them have even just brought in their piggy bank money to donate,” said Jurke.

The learning space is located behind the school and is expected to be finished in midJuly.

AGM highlights shelter overflow GEOFF LEE

WRITER

..................................

Give me shelter.

Finding a solution to the over-utilized emergency shelter is one of many items on the front burner for the Lloydminster Interval

Home Society in the coming months.

Angela Rooks-Trotzuk CEO of the nonprofit organization, says the shelter will be top of mind as they conduct a full agency review this summer

and fall.

It’s the first full review in three years on the health of the organization.

“The review helps to determine if the organization is still meeting the needs of the community,” said RooksTrotzuk during their annual general meeting at the Day’s Hotel & Suites on June 26.

She says Lloydminster is one of the busiest shelters in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

“We turned away over 1,700 people last year from our shelter just due to lack of space. The board is act ively looking at a solution and we’ll be able to come forward with something soon.”

Rooks-Trotzuk notes they are continuing to work toward that goal of building a new shelter.

She reports they are working with the Alberta Rural Development Network to find a solution

Geoff Lee Meridian Source

Angela Rooks-Trotzuk, CEO of Lloydminster Interval Home Society, delivered her annual report at Interval’s AGM at the Days Hotel last Wednesday. The top priority for the coming year is resolving the turn-away situation at Interval Home’s Emergency Shelter.

and are going through the feasibility study process right now.

The study is looking at what options may be suitable for the Interval Home and the community, and is based on what type of funding is available for those types of projects.

“We have community leaders who are working toward a solution

and I’m confident that will come to the community soon with a solution,” said RooksTrotzuk.

Interval Home is also looking to add to their inventory of five second-stage housing units that served 12 families over the past year.

“We’d like to potentially increase that to 12. That’s just an idea at this point, but our second stage is generally full and that’s because people and families can stay with us for up to a year,” said Rooks-Trotzuk.

Her year-end report also touched on the success of a growing suite of programs and services the organization provides to meet community needs.

“That’s one of the things I am most proud of—that we respond to community needs in an effective and efficient way,” said Rooks-Trotzuk.

The Lloydminster Community Youth Centre, for example, had a record 6,358 youth visits in their 2018-19 operational year.

“Now, we just have to look at going to the next level as far as being able to accommodate all the youth that do come,” said RooksTrotzuk.

The AGM also named its new board of directors, headed by chairperson Darryl Benson.

Benson is continuing his second term as chair and finds the role very engaging.

“It makes you feel like you’ve done something good for the community,” he said.

Benson acted as the event master of ceremonies and spoke about being the lead coordinator of the Breakfast With The Guys event last November on preventing domestic violence.

Leave it to Weaver Manslaughter charge goes too far EDITOR Taylor Weaver

You know when you read a headline of a news article as you’re scrolling through your Facebook feed and you have to stop because you’re praying the source of the article is The Onion, The Beaverton, or some other producer of satire?

Th at h ap p e ne d t o me l a s t Thursday afternoon when I read a headline that read “Alabama Woman Who Lost Pregnancy in Shooting Is Charged in Fetus’s Death.”

The source of the article, you might be wondering? The New York Times. Are you freaking kidding me?

Last December, the woman in question got into a heated dispute with another woman t hat resu lt ed in her get t ing shot in the stomach whilst five

months’ pregnant. Unfortunately, the fetus did not survive the event, but what I find absolutely insane is the fact she was charged with manslaughter and booked into jail on a $50,000 bond.

Is that not an extreme example of adding insult to injury?

Or am I just being sensitive?

“It was the mother of the child who initiated and continued the fight which resulted in the death of her own unborn baby,” said Lt. Dan Reid.

Of course, this happened not long before (not after) the Governor of Alabama signed a bill in May banning abortion at every stage of pregnancy and criminalizing the procedure for doctors, in what became the most stringent measure to prohibit abortion in the country.

Alabama is also one of 38 states that have fetal homicide laws that recognize the fetus

as a victim in cases of violence against a pregnant woman.

Police initially charged the second woman with manslaughter in the death of the fetus, but that charge was dismissed after the grand jury failed to indict her.

Am I the only one out there who thinks this is absolutely ludicrous?

T h e Y e l l o w h amme r F u nd , which provides funding for abortion access in Alabama, tweeted out a message stating “Losing a pregnancy is not a crime.”

I completely agree with this.

If the woman was five months’ pregnant, I’m pretty sure she had her mind and heart set on keeping her child. Talk about taking a step back in time before women had rights and weren’t allowed to vote.

In my opinion, the real crime here is the American justice system.

Change my mind.

Leeway from Lloyd: Over the hill ride in Lloyd?

STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE

This weekend I am competing in an 87 kilometre bike race in Longview Alberta after taking part in a similar 75 km gran fondo ride against the clock in Drumheller two weeks ago.

I have since caught wind of a possible 100 km trial gran fondo in Lloydminster sometime this summer with a few local riders.

The man pitching the idea is thinking if the test run goes well it would be an official event in 2020.

It may or may not take place, but the nice things about these events is that almost everyone has to travel and spend at least one night in a hotel.

There wasn’t a room to be had in Drumheller when I was set to compete in the Badlands Gran Fondo.

A Lloydminster event could be added to growing Alberta Gran Fondo Series online and give the local hospitality economy a boost.

The events attract riders of all ages, but not many in my 70 plus category. I won the category in Drumheller well ahead of the only other person in my age bracket.

Overall, I crossed the line 11th place out of 72 competitors, so I am keeping up with the younger Joneses so to speak.

With just two of us over 70,

I thank my lucky stars that I can still do these events reasonably well. My motivation to keep training stems from being passed by an 87-year-old guy in a Penticton B.C. event in 2015 proving age is just a number for some.

In Drumheller, I fell off my bike bruising my hip, arm and knee and walked up half of an 18 per cent grade hill, but I didn’t need a wheelchair.

The insane 40-50 km/hr winds, however; led me to shorten the misery to 75 km instead of the 100 km I signed up for.

My plan for the rest of this summer was not to do any more events after this weekend, but rumours of a Lloyd test event may keep me doing long training rides.

The downside is there will be no rest for older guys like me who don’t want age to slow us down.

Synergy funds Bea Fisher reno

Geoff Lee Meridian Source

Lloydminster branch manager of Synergy Credit Union, Gord Thiel presents a cheque for a donation of $10,000 to Darcie Pollard, CEO of Bea Fisher Centre, to go towards the Bea Fisher Centre’s homes that support people with developmental disabilities.

GEOFF LEE

WRITER

..................................

The latest charity cheque presentation by Synergy Credit Union is a meaningful one.

Synergy donated $10,000 to Bea Fisher Centre on Friday to support renovations to two of their support homes for people with disabilities.

The duplex where the

renovations will take place is home to six of the agency’s clients.

“It’s very exciting; we depend on community support, financial support and employment support for people with disabilities,” said Darcie Pollard, CEO, Bea Fisher Centre.

“This is going to go a long way to improve and enhance the homes

that we operate.”

Lloydminster branch manager Gord Thiel says the funds come from the Synergy Shares program with five per cent of the credit union’s pre-tax profits made available to community groups.

“Through the Synergy Shares program, we are able to commit funding to vital groups like

the Bea Fisher Centre to improve the lives of the residents in the communities we live,” said Thiel.

The presentation took place during Synergy’s customer appreciation barbecue.

Synergy’s donation goes towards Bea Fisher’s goal to raise $250,000 to renovate all of their 12 support homes in the Lloydminster community.

“These homes support 60 individuals in total to live in their community,” said Pollard.

“Without them, we would not have the ability to promote and support individuals with disabilities at the level of care we currently do.”

Bea Fisher has rescheduled its colour run fundraiser for Sept.

6 after a hail storm washed out the event originally slated for May 24.

The fall colour run will be followed by a high-profile New Year’s

Eve banquet and dance fundraiser at the Stockade Convention Centre.

Talkin’ trash PRAIRIE WOOL HELEN ROW TOEWS

A few weeks ago, our kindergarten and

Grade 1 classes worked together to complete an important task before school closed for the summer.

We picked up trash

and tidied the schoolyard.

Before heading out, the kids milled restlessly around the foyer as small shoes were tied, coats were zipped, and everyone was issued protective, blue rubber gloves.

Then, they received carefully enunciated instructions (that 85 per cent of them missed since they were too absorbed in applying the gloves).

Once that was all taken care of, we moved in a boisterous, energetic crowd to the door, with only one minor casualty. (You can’t get 20 kids out one exit without some sort of disaster).

Amid wild cries of glee, they spread out across the playground, their teacher and I in hot pursuit.

Us grownups carried garbage bags, and opened them often; each time with quiet

ceremony and thanks.

We covered every inch of their playground that day, and I can cheerfully say that even the most minuscule scraps of paper were leapt upon with squeals of triumph and lifted on high to be proudly dropped in the bag.

However, after a time, with so much enthusiastic searching, pickings slimmed and the troops commenced to bickering amongst themselves over who had found the biggest or “best” piece of garbage.

A point system was instituted by one intrepid young fellow and, in a moment’s time, he became judge and jury for the masses.

Fragments of crumbling chocolate wrappers were eagerly held next to shredded chip bag remains, and measurements taken.

Defeat was felt keenly, as the losers

turned away to search vainly for something “better” with which to win the judge’s approval.

Suddenly I was inundated with the bark off a fir tree, handfuls of dry leaves, armloads of sticks and assorted stones.

“Hold it!” I hollered as an enterprising young girl puffed to my side with a ten pound rock and struggled to heft it into the sack.

“Stop!” I cried again as another little fellow laboured toward me under the weight of a five-foot sapling.

“Trees and boulders aren’t garbage.”

The disappointed crowd turned sorrowfully away, and casting dark looks back over their shoulders, scuffled dispiritedly at the earth. How could they win now? SHE had ruined everything.

Suddenly a small herd of boys rushed

toward me from the sidelines. “Teacher!” they cried in full voice, “we got some GOOD garbage.”

“Holy smoke, what is it,” I muttered anxiously. They arrived, p anting bre athl e ssl y and Johnny, with great pomp and circumstance, opened his cupped hands. There, its claws curled in death, beak open in a final, unuttered chirp, a small, grey sparrow lay cold and stiff upon the little blue gloves.

“Can I hold him?” the others began to clamor excitedly.

“In a word – no,” I said tonelessly. Opening the bag, I motioned, and the small bird suffered his last indignity on this good earth as he was dropped sadly within.

Nonetheless, (although I’m sure the bird would not agree) this day was not a total loss. Johnny won.

Donation sprouts growth

Geoff Lee Meridian Source

TD branch manager Janine Sikorski, left, and customer service manager Michelle Swift, presented a cheque for $9,082 at Mother Teresa Early Childhood Education Centre last Wednesday for the school’s outdoor’s learning centre. Photos were taken at the assembly and outside with these three students who also raised funds for the outdoor space, and school recessed for the summer the following day.

“It’s a learning space where children can experience nature and our teachers can bring learning outdoors into that space. It has an Aboriginal component in it as well,” explained Jurke.

“It’s just a very natural peaceful type of space where we are hoping to combine learning and nature.”

It was the perfect project for both companies to support.

Synergy’s wealth management assistant Jessica Retzleff says

all employees were excited to contribute to the outdoor project chosen by their fundraising committee.

“We wanted to do a playground initiative, so we had a few options and we did a vote and we picked to give to this one because we felt it was a very worthy cause,” said Retzleff.

She says there’s not really a playground for the area.

“School kids use it and hopefully, people w ho live in this p art of the city can use it as well,” said Retzleff.

Janine Sikorski, Lloyd’s TD branch manager and Michelle Swift customer service manager, held up different ends of their cheque with the three community-minded kids behind it at the assembly.

“It was nice to see all the kids present for it and for them to accept the cheque and all the kids that have gotten to be a part of fundraising money as well and see this project come to light,” said Sikorski.

“I think it will be rewarding for them as well.”

Sikorski says the branch was also very excited to donate, explaining they raised this money through the TD Friends of the Environment Foundation.

“It’s a national charity dedicated to funding for projects like this so kids can learn in a safe place and have things to climb on and play with and grass to run on,” she said.

“One hundred per cent of funds we raise goes to things in the community, so we are very excited this year to donate to this and we’re excited to see it completed.”

Deadline extended for farm and school drivers MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

..................................

Alberta is extending the deadline for farmers and school bus drivers to meet training requirements as new commercial drivers.

Farmers and farm workers can apply for an extension to meet the training and test-

ing requirements for a Class 1 driver’s licence before March 1, 2021.

New school bus drivers will have until July 31, 2020 to meet the requirements for a Class 2 driver’s licence.

“The school bus driver and farming industries are highly flexible, seasonal

i nd u stri e s th at i nd i cated they need more time to adjust to the MELT requirements,” said Minister of Transportation Ric McIver.

“Our government i s c o mmi tte d to tak ing steps to work with farmers and school bus drivers to ensure we have a robust

driver training system in place that works for industry, without compromising safety.

This extension ensures these key industries can continue their work without disruption, particularly during the busy back-toschool and harvest seasons.”

Reduce risk of West Nile Virus this summer in Sask MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

..................................

The Government of Saskatchewan is reminding residents to take precautions against mosquito bites, as the risk of West Nile virus increases in Saskatchewan.

The risk is highest between June and September when Culex tarsalis mosquitoes are most active and present in higher numbers.

There is an increased risk in the southern portions of the province.

“Most people who become infected with West Nile virus experience no symptoms or have mild illness with symptoms such as fever, headaches, and body aches,” Saskatche w an’s De p u t y C hie f Medical Health Officer Dr. Denise Werker said.

A small number of people develop a more serious illness called West Nile virus neuroinvasive disease.

This can cause inflammation of the brain and may result in death.

“If you develop serious symptoms like a persistent fever, confusion, neck stiffness or an unusually severe headache, seek medical attention immediately,” Werker said.

The best way to reduce the risk of contracting West Nile virus is to take proper precautions.

This includes: - Use appropriate insect repellent when outdoors.

- Cover up. Wear light-coloured, loosefitting, long-sleeved tops and long pants

File Photo when outdoors.

- Reduce the amount of time spent outdoors between dusk and dawn when Culex tarsal i s mo squ i to e s ar e most active.

- Maintain door and window screens so they fit tightly and are free of holes.

- Reduce mosquito habitat around your home and yard (removing standing

water, etc.)

West Nile virus was first identified in Saskatchewan in 2002.

Major outbreaks of West Nile virus infection in humans occurred in 2003 and 2007.

Between 2003 and 2018, there were 161 cases of West Nile virus neuroinvasive disease; 18 resulted in death.

“It was a great first step in getting guys involved with the issues surrounding domestic violence in our community,” said Benson, who

noted it’s a tough topic to discuss, especially for men.

He said it was well attended with some men signing up for a followup education event

to become mentors to spread the prevention message to young men in the community.

“We are going to do that again this November and we hope it will

be an ongoing event in years to come,” said Benson.

The AGM wrapped up with a presentation of employee and community awards.

Rotary Club of Lloydminster 90 years of service

Ninety years of Rotary in Lloydminster!

A message from Rotary president Tyler Morrissette

Y

ou have seen us Rotarians in the community.

We are your neighbours, friends, colleagues or maybe just that anonymous

smiling face you occasionally run into.

You may have been asked to purchase Dream Vacation tickets or attend our annual Lobsterfest … but for all we do, we do it with the belief of ‘Service Above Self’ and are continually giving of time and funding to our community in hopes of improving the lives in Lloydminster and beyond.

In 1905 Rotary International started in Chicago with a few businessmen and has grown to over 1.2 million members of 33,000 clubs in 200 countries.

Locally, ‘North Battleford

Rotary Club’ formed our ‘Rotary Club of Lloydminster’ back in February of 1929.

We sponsored a new club in Vegreville in 1951, and in 1955 we grew our Rotary family by getting one going in Vermilion.

The year 1999 saw us getting another club up and running here in Lloydminster to accommodate Tuesday morning meetings at the ‘Border City Club.’

In 2003 we continued the growth by getting the ‘Wainwright Rotary Club’ started and look out Bonnyville – you are next!

We help send exchange

students to different parts of the world and in exchange we enrich Lloydminster’s culture by bringing youth from around the world here.

Our involvement with youth also includes sending teens away on Adventure trips and other Rotary initiatives, but we like to get involved with people from ages 0 to 120.

Whether organizing family events or just having a coffee with some seniors, we enjoy spending time with local residents and committing time to our community.

Giving of time and

efforts – funding – and overall just helping where we can!

And in the bigger picture, promoting peace, fighting disease, provid ing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, helping mothers and children, supporting education and helping to grow local economies.

We have been here for 90 years, and we look forward to the next 90. Thank you Lloydminster, and thank you Rotary International!

Building partnerships of equal opportunity

T

he dreams parents have for their sons and daughters with developmental disabilities are no less than the dreams they and other parents share for their children without disabilities – to have every opportunity for a career, make a contribution; earn an income and be valued as community members.

People with developmental disabilities share the aspirations of their families and income and be valued as community

members.

People with developmental disabilities share the aspirations of their families and want nothing more than the opportunity to demonstrate their potential.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of citizens with developmental disabilities are unemployed or underemployed.

For people without disabilities, a good job helps to give purpose to life and affirms a valued place in society.

Imagine if, as a result of a disability through no fault of your own, you were relegated to a life on the sidelines. Rotary, Inclusion Lloydminster and Alberta and the Government of Alberta are committed to working in partnership with the business and broader community to create meaningful employment opportunities for people with developmental disabilities – to create the kind of possibilities that con-

An ongoing commitment to community F

or more than 110 years, Rotary members have been addressing challenges around the world.

Grassroots at the core, Rotary links 1.2 million members to form an organization of international scope. It started with the vision of one man — Paul Harris.

“

We’re truly international. Only 16 years after being founded, Rotary had clubs on six continents.

Today, members in nearly every country work to solve some of our world’s most challenging problems.

The Chicago attorney formed the Rotary Club of Chicago on 23 February 1905, so professionals with diverse backgrounds could exchange ideas, form meaningful, lifelong friendships, and give back to their communities.

Rotary’s name came from the group’s early practice of rotating meetings among the offices of its

members.

“Whatever Rotary may mean to us, to the world it will be known by the results it achieves,” Paul Harris.

Rotary members have not only been present for major events in history — we’ve also been a part of them.

Three key traits have remained strong throughout our history: “We’re truly international. Only 16 years after being founded, Rotary had clubs on six continents. Today, members in nearly every country work to solve some of our world’s most challenging problems.

“We persevere in tough times.

During World War II, Rotary clubs in Austria, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Spain were forced to disband.

Despite the risks, many continued to meet informally, and after the war, Rotary members came together to rebuild their clubs and their countries.

“We’re committed to service, and we’re not afraid to dream big and set bold goals. We began our fight against polio in 1979 with a project to immunize 6 million children in the Philippines. Today, polio remains endemic in only three countries — down from 125 in 1988.

Why join Rotary you might be asking?

There are many reasons to get involved in the community through Rotary, these being only a few.

Friendship In an increasingly complex world, Rotary provides one of the most basic human needs: the need for friendship and fellowship. It is one of two reasons why Rotary began in 1905.

Business Development The second original reason for

Rotary’s beginning is business development. Everyone needs to network. Rotary consists of a cross section of every business community. Its members come from all walks of life and Rotarians help each other and collectively help others.

Leadership Development Rotary is an organization of leaders and successful people.

Serving in Rotary positions is like a college education. Leadership – learning how to motivate, influence, and lead leaders.

Personal Growth and Development Membership in Rotary continues one’s growth and education in human relations and personal development.

Citizenship in the Community Membership in a Rotary club makes one a better community citizen. The average Rotary club consists of the most active citizens in any community.

Continuing Education Each week at Rotary there is a program designed to keep one informed about what is going on in the community, nation, and world.

Each meeting provides an opportunity to listen to different speakers and a variety of timely topics.

Fun Rotary is fun. Each meeting is

fun. The club projects, the social activities, the service is fun.

Public Speaking Skills Many individuals who joined Rotary were afraid to speak in public. Rotary develops confidence and skill in public communication and the opportunity to practice and perfect these skills.

Citizenship in the World Every Rotarian wears a pin that says “Rotary International.” There are few places on the globe that do not have a Rotary club. Every Rotarian is welcome and encouraged. This means instant friends in both one’s own community and in the world community.

Assistance when Travelling Because there are Rotary clubs all over the world, many Rotarians who need a doctor, lawyer, hotel, dentist, advice etc., can find them while travelling through Rotary.

The objective of Rotary The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and in particular to promote the following: • The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service • High ethical standards in business and profession • The recognition of the worthiness of all vocations and the digni-

fying of occupations as an opportunity to serve society • The application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian to personal, business and community life • The advancement of International understanding, goodwill and peace through the fellowship of business and professionals united in the ideal of service

Having the opportunity to serve

R

otary is a service club.

Its business is mankind. Its product is

service.

Rotarians provide community service to both local and international communities.

This is perhaps the best reason for becoming a Rotary: the chance to do something for someone else and to sense the self-fulfillment that comes in the process and return of that satisfaction to one’s own life.

It is richly rewarding.

Rotarians also practice a 4-Way Test that governs one’s ethical standards. Rotarians are expected to be ethical in business and personal relationships. The 4-Way test became the guide for sales, production, advertising and all relations with dealer and customers, and the survival of his company for Herbert J. Taylor in 1932 and when Taylor became the Rotary Interna-

tional president in 1954 he had the club adopt the test.

The 4-Way Test is now translated into more than 100 languages and published in thousands of ways.

Th e t e s t c o ns is t s o f t h e s e four things: - Is it the truth?

- Is it fair to all concerned?

- Will it build good will and better friendships?

- Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Twins celebrate Canada Day baseball JAMIE HARKINS WRITER

..................................

When not on the field, they played games in the dugout.

And, the fact that practice wasn’t scheduled for Monday due to it being a holiday had to be handled with care.

Baseball took over the hearts and minds of this city’s children during Canada Day weekend. The Lloydminster under-11 AA2 Twins welcomed seven teams to Legion Ball Park this Friday to Sunday for a summer-opening tournament where hav-

ing fun and showing improvement took centre stage.

The AA2 Twins went 1-2 in the round-robin with their losses coming in one-run games.

The mark set them up for a friendly against the hometown rival AA3 Twins (1-2) in front of an encouraging crowd of supporters on a bright and warm Sunday morning.

“We did pretty good being they’re a little bit better team than us,” said AA3 Twins pitcher and shortstop Duncan Amirault. “We tried

our best and put a very good effort into it.”

The AA2 Twins used a st rong f irs t inning at the plate and great work off the mound by starter Reid Beal and relievers Kaden Penner, Keenan Rohs and Tye Macri to take the contest 9-3. Macri earned his team’s golden helmet and chain as their top performer thanks to five hard-working innings calling the game from behind the plate.

“We hit the ball hard, paid attention and never gave up,” said Marci, whose white pants and blue Twins jersey showed layers of dirt and dust after the win. “We did pretty good.”

AA2 Twins shortstop and backup catcher Zayden Chambers said they pumped each other up during the game, which is how they usually come out on top during tournaments. He said their pitching holds them in, but the work they’ve done on their fielding and hitting during the course of the season is also starting to shine through.

“We’ve gotten one gold, I think,” said Chambers, noting their final test will come at the Baseball Saskatchewan championships in Kindersley from July 19 to 21. “We’ve

been really good.

We’ve come second and third.”

The AA3 Twins suffered through a couple of tough losses in the round-robin only to bounce back with a huge 16-2 win against the Battlefords Red Sox on Saturday evening.

They showed that never-quit attitude once again on Sunday morning continuing to pressure their rival’s defence with aggressive base running and remaining sound in the field.

“We’ve improved a lot,” said AA3 Twins left fielder Jake McLeod. “Our very first game we played this team and we weren’t that good. It was like 20-5 and now we’ve got them real close.”

Amirault noted they’ll compete at the Baseball Saskatchewan championships in Langenburg on the third weekend of July. He said they expect to do pretty well there given

the strides they’ve made this season.

“We might lose a couple of games,” added McLeod.

“But, we’re probably going to come out as provincial champions.”

Kids conquer the wilderness

JAMIE HARKINS WRITER

..................................

A dedicated core of volunteers once again helped brighten the

day of local children by providing lessons and activities on wilderness survival late last month.

The Lloydminster and District Fish and Game Association (LDFGA) and Lloydminster and Area Archers teamed up to sponsor the 15th annual Youth Outdoor Activity Day on June 22.

Approximately 50 boys and girls aged 10 to 13 took advantage of the opportunity, which included archery, pellet gun safety and target shooting, compass orienteering and wilderness camp skills events at the LDFGA grounds.

“I always jokingly say it gets them away from the electronics and gets them outside,” said Bill Armstrong, past president of the LDFGA. “One boy out there on the compass course picked up a garter snake and said ‘look what I found.’ They get close to nature. They

saw little birds just hatched in a nest. It’s quite an experience and we’ve got a variety of activities for them to do, a barbecued meal and a bus ride. We believe in young people. They are our future and we’re very proud of what we do for them.”

Archery is what drew 12-year-old Julia De La Torre to the Youth Outdoor Activity Day. But, she noted making and roasting bannock over an open fire during the wilderness skills camp and shooting a pellet gun was also fun.

Nix Andersen, 12,

and Haley Binetruy, 12, said the compass orienteering session was exciting. Binetruy said learning how to navigate using a compass was interesting, while Andersen added their flag finding activity proved a challenge.

“It was really fun to go out into the wilderness and learn safety and stuff because you might get lost and need a compass,” said Andersen. “I thought it was really good to learn.”

Armstrong said the number of children taking part and the amount of activities has increased over the years, but many of the

volunteers who help put on the non-profit event have remained.

He said these helpers include Brian Sheppard of Shep’s Sports, who coordinates the tallying of registration forms and entry fees, and the Lloydminster Public School Division that provides bus service for the kids to and from the LDFGA facility under a special permit.

The idea of staging a Youth Outdoor Activity Day belongs to Carl Furman, noted Armstrong, and it’s his vision that led to where they are today.

Past participants also tend to come back and help keep the event going, he added, with their tasks as responsible young people being to look after and guide the kids

“This is where I learned to shoot a pellet gun and use archery,” said Danika Steeves, 12, after helping run the wilderness skills camp as a returning attendee.

“I found it super interesting to learn how to use a compass too. These are good life skills for anyone. It’s lots of fun and it’s educational too.”

Riding to end Multiple Sclerosis JAMIE HARKINS WRITER

..................................

A local cyclist realized his limit and then pushed past it to support others in need.

Donovan Swanky, 12, completed an 89-kilometre trek from Leduc to Camrose during the

30th annual MS (Multiple Sclerosis) Bike ride on June 22.

The about-to-be Grade 7 student at Father Gorman School raised over $2,000 for MS research in the process while also showing support for a fam-

ily member who suffers from the disease and his loved ones who dedicate their time to the cause.

“Last year was the first time that I got to see my grandpa do it,” said Swanky, who was accompanied on the ride by his grandfather Ian Scott and aunt Nikki Scott.

“So, I decided that, hey, I might as well do it.”

Swanky’s grandfather and aunt have been completing the ride for the past four and five years, respectively, in support of Ian’s brother Colin who battles MS. This June marked Swanky’s first time taking part.

It began with a Dec. 1 pledge to raise $1,000 for MS research, which Swanky accomplished

by Christmas and doubled by the ride thanks to the support of Father Gorman Community School teachers and family friends.

He started to physi-

cally get ready around New Years first at home on an indoor trainer before taking the bike outside for 15, 20 and finally 40-kilometre practice runs.

The work helped get him through to the first checkpoint, noted Swanky, but starting off too strong made him sore from there.

However, he said an early pep talk from his grandfather pushed any thoughts about quitting from his mind.

“At the start, he said ‘just remember why you’re out and why you’re riding,’” said Swanky. “And, that’s what I did.”

Swanky completed the 89-kilometre ride up and down the hilly secondary highways from Leduc to Camrose in about four hours.

Throughout, he leaned on the support of his grandfather and aunt, the accompanying 1,609 riders who also participated and a desire to help those

in need.

“I feel great,” said Swanky. “I raised a lot of money to support MS research and I completed an 89-kilome-

tre bike ride at the age of 12.

“I would like to do it again next year and the year after that and the year after that.”

Bobcats retool the roster and the bench JAMIE HARKINS WRITER

..................................

The Lloydminster Bobcats added a few key pieces to the puzzle in the days leading up to Canada’s 152nd birthday.

Bobcats head coach and general manager Nigel Dube rounded out the bench staff by hiring AJHL veteran and Telus Cup champion Brady Bakke as an assistant coach on June 24.

He followed the hire by signing playmaking forward Mason Hendrickson the next afternoon, puck-moving defencemen Ryan Nause and Tyson Kowaluk last Thursday and hard-nosed winger Cole Svenson this past Saturday.

“Brady is an absolute hockey nerd, which I think is a great thing,” said Dube. “His love and passion for the game is exceptional.

And, his willingness and wanting to be a teacher to our athletes not only helping them

with hockey but helping them become better people as well is a huge part of what we believe in and what our core values are.”

Dube said Bakke will run their defence and work the players through offensive and defensive skill development during and before practices. He said video work will also play a big part of the new hire’s role.

Bakke, 25, spent the past two seasons working as an assistant coach for the Alberta Midget AAA Hockey League’s St. Albert Raiders, which won the Mac’s Tournament last Christmas and advanced to the league finals this past spring.

He won the Telus Cup with the Red Deer Rebels in 2011-12 and played 129 games for the Bonnyville Pontiacs between that season and 2014-15.

Nause, 17, who played the past two years at Nova Scotia’s New-

bridge Academy, is a smooth skating blueliner capable of advancing pucks thanks to his decision making ability.

Svenson, 18, can regularly be found battling in the corners leading to 15 goals and 26 points in 34 games with the midget AAA’s Calgary Royals this past season.

Hendrickson, 18,

comes over from a winning culture playing with the Minnesota State High School League’s Minnetonka Skippers the last three winters. The son of longtime NHL-er and current Minnesota Wild assistant coach Darby Hendrickson put up five goals and 24 points in 25 games with the Skip-

pers in 2018-19.

Dube noted the tireless work of Bobcats director of U.S. scouting Cory Lonke went a long way in the team’s ability to recruit Hendrickson.

He added Andrew Gilbert, the Bobcats director of player personnel, also spent countless days in the rink identifying players who could

help build the team’s foundation leading to these signings.

Kowaluk, 17, comes over to the Bobcats after suited up in 33 games for Bakke and the Raiders this past season.

..................................

Many areas in the province received rainfall last week.

This precipitation has helped to relieve the extremely dry conditions and recharge soil moisture; however, significant rainfall is st ill need ed in areas of the province to help crops, hay and pasture develop and further recharge soil moisture.

The amount of precipitation received in the past week varied across the province,

ranging from negligible amounts to 114 mm.

The greatest amount of precipitation fell in the Blumenhof area, where 114 mm was recorded.

The southern regions reported receiving the most rainfall.

The Moose Jaw area received up to 111.5 mm, the Regina area 65 mm, the Gravelbourg area 105 mm and the Shaunavon area up to 98.3 mm.

Across the province, topsoil moisture conditions have greatly

improved, but the subsoil remains parched.

Topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as four per cent surplus, 81 per cent adequate, 14 per cent short and one per cent very short.

Topsoil moisture on hay land and pasture is rated as three per cent surplus, 73 per cent adequate, 22 per cent short and two per cent very short at this time. Unfortunately, the rainfall came too late for the majority of first-cut hay, but it will encourage growth for a later cut.

Provincially, the recent rainfall has improved or sustained crop conditions, and warm weather will bring on crop, hay and pasture growth.

The majority of crops are behind to normal in their growth.

Fifty per cent of the fall cereals, 55 per cent of the spring cereals, 62 per cent of the pulse crops and 43 per cent of the oilseed crops are at the normal stages of development for this time of year.

The rainfall has caused difficulties with spraying operations as weeds are growing now and crops are getting late in stage for in-crop herbicide applications.

Farmers are busy hauling grain, spraying in-crop pesticide applications and getting equipment ready to cut hay.

Real Estate

A smaller home can cut your costs and worries

T

he kids are long gone, you’re in a big home that requires a lot of maintenance and is expensive to heat and cool.

You’re also thinking it’s time to explore a different kind of living. So why not downsize?

With downsizing, however, comes hard decisions. Should you stay nearby or leave town? Do you want to live in a condominium or single-family home? Making the wrong move will cost you and maybe you’ll have to relocate once again.

According to recent studies, people downsize for a variety of reasons – a desire for lower monthly housing costs, a larger home is too much work, there are fewer family members in the household and not as much space is needed, and they

wish to free up cash from a prior home while building equity in another.

Whatever your reason, the solution may be a land-lease home where you buy the home outright and lease the land.

By downsizing from a larger house with higher costs into a land-lease home, retirees can free up cash for more important things in life.

The key to the affordability of land-leasing is that you pay for just the home and not the lot it sits on, making it much more affordable.

This means you’re then free to do whatever you wish with the money you unlock from the sale of your current home or money you’re not paying the bank in big monthly mortgage payments.

What you do with that money is your choice.

Many land-lease homeowners are snowbirds or frequent travellers. Some purchase nearby golf memberships or their dream car or boat, or simply create more retirement savings that may not be possible otherwise.

Moreover, land-lease homeowners continue to build equity because they own the home. Market analysis shows that wellmaintained homes in land-lease communities appreciate in value similar to freehold homes in the same market.

And, since land-lease communities are also often located in picturesque settings a short drive from larger urban centres, the model may be an attractive housing option for retirees who are considering downsizing as their needs change.
