Paying homage in Lloydminster DAN GRAY STAFF WRITER

Dan Gray Meridian Source Photos

The community of Lloydminster came together the morning of Nov. 11 to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Over 400 veterans, dignitaries, cadets and citizens gathered at Lloydminster Comprehensive High School for the service.

The service focused heavily on why we continue to remember.

It featured stories shared of veteran’s long since passed.

Royal Canadian Legion Rev. Lyle Berg shared the experience of a co-worker who served in the Second World War. While working with him as a member of the Winnipeg Police, his friend would occasionally reminisce about the war.

The individual, whom he didn’t name, served flying in a Mosquito Bomber. He recounted a story he was told to those in attendance.

Council says their goodbyes CHRISTIAN APOSTOLOVSKI STAFF WRITER

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

Current sitting Lloydminster councillors got a chance to say their goodbyes and express their appreciation at the Nov. 4 council meeting.

The meeting was the last one scheduled for the current council.

“This is the last council meeting for the council you see before you today. I really want to say thank you to each and every member of this council for their service over the last four years or less, to the community,” said Lloydminster Mayor Gerald Aalbers.

Councillors each took to the microphone to talk about their time on council and thank one another.

“Although I will not be serving as a councillor after Nov. 13, I will continue to support initiatives that strengthen and build a community that people are proud to call home,” said Coun. Lorelee Marin.

“I just want to say my thanks to the citizens of Lloydminster who elected me to council in 2020 and supported me on this steep learning curve of serving the community as a councillor,” she said.

“It’s been a privilege to serve the community, and to the mayor and my council colleagues, thank you for the warm welcome to the council table.”

Marin shared some words with her peers sitting around the table.

“Mayor Aalbers, thank you for your passion for Lloydminster, your relentless advocacy on behalf of the citizens and the community, the city is stronger because of your service,” she said.

Marin went around the table addressing each of the councillors, reminiscing about their times working together and the impacts they’ve each had. She also thanked Aaron Buckingham, who served on council before departing last November.

Marin had some heartfelt words to Glenn Fagnan, a two-term councillor and long-time Rotarian, who passed in June of this year.

“In June we said goodbye to our dear heart Glenn Fagnan. Glenn served this community not only as a councillor but as a change maker, he invested in the community and he left all of us

with an incredible legacy that will shape the community for decades to come,” she said.

She thanked administration and city staff for their patience and assistance in navigating all the information and the financials.

“

In June we said goodbye to our dear heart Glenn Fagnan.

Glenn served this community not only as a councillor but as a change maker, he invested in the community and he left all of us with an incredible legacy that will shape the community for decades to come.

Coun. Jason Whiting followed Marin in thanking those around the table.

“This is an opportunity to say thank you in case I don’t get back here again, I do want to say thank you to Lorelee for all your encouragement and the great discussion, and same with everyone here.”

Coun. Michael Diachuk expressed his appreciation for his fellow councillors and the work they’ve done.

“Thanks to, a lot of thank you’s, one is to those that elected each and every one of us and put trust in us to help make decisions that were going to take the city forward in a way that was going to be better, and at the same time, thank you to all administration that provided all the leg work and all the support making those decisions,” he said.

Diachuk went on to say it’s always about the strength of the mix of councillors with each person bringing in their own set of strengths.

“Council’s stronger because of that mix, each of us brings some different skill sets,” he said.

Diachuk commended the work the city’s been doing, citing projects like the downtown redevelopment, the library in its new home now part of the municipal system, and the Cenovus Energy Hub coming closer to completion.

Coun. David Lopez commended the discussions council has had and the teamwork they’ve displayed.

“It’s amazing the team we have right now, we

come from different backgrounds, we come from different knowledge basses, and to be able to come and compromise and come to happy mediums is the true definition of teamwork,” said Lopez.

He thanked the other councillors, talking about times they’ve had together and how the different perspectives have helped him understand issues and topics through different lenses.

Rounding out the council discussion was Coun.

Jonathan Torresan.

“It’s been a great eight-year run we’ve had here.

I think when you first get into the game and you have an idea of what you think you are as a leader and what problems you think you’re going to help solve, you realize as you work through that and meet people, either on the council side or other communities or your own team or administration, how much effect that has on who you are as a person,” he said.

“I really appreciate my time and the people I’ve gotten to work with, for the ones that aren’t around the table, Aaron Buckingham, Glenn Fagnan, Stephanie Munro, Ken Baker, you don’t realize when you meet these people how much of an effect they’ll have on you, even if they are 55 years older than you.”

Torresan says he couldn’t be prouder of the city, citing changes made and positive impacts in the last eight years.

The municipal election is underway in Lloydminster, advanced polls are open, and residents can vote on Nov. 13, which is election day.

Tim Hortons targeted in string of break and enters CHRISTIAN APOSTOLOVSKI STAFF WRITER

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

RCMP have arrested a man in connection with a cross-jurisdictional spree of Tim Horton’s breakand-enters.

On Oct. 31, RCMP’s Southern Alberta Crime Reduction Unit, assisted by RCMP Regina General Investigation Section arrested Joshua Elliot Moose, 25.

Moose is a resident of Medicine Hat and the arrest came after a five-month investigation into the break-and-enter of multiple Tim Horton’s restaurants.

Moose was remanded to appear in Saskatchewan Court of Justice in Regina on Nov. 6.

“He said every day we would get into our Mosquito Bomber … when we returned home to England, we’d go out the next day. There wasn’t enough stuff to fill the holes, and our Mosquito whistled like a bunch of birds when we were flying,” recalled Berg.

“Then a smile would cross his face.

Despite bearing the loss of friends, the scars of freedom he bore, he’d start talking about his grandchildren. He’d repeat one word, victory … we had victory.”

Lloydminster Mayor Gerald Aalbers also took time to address the crowd about the day’s significance.

“As we pin on our poppies we remember the privileges’ we enjoy today. The freedom of thought, the freedom to gather, the freedom to speak, the freedom to vote, to dream, to build our futures,” stated Aalbers.

“They are all tied to the sacrifices of those who came before us, it’s a solemn reminder our freedoms we hold dear are not simply inherited. They are

upheld by a long history of courage and resilience.”

Morning Has Broken, Amazing Grace, Last Post, and Reveille were all musical parts of the ceremony. After the service, those gathered were welcomed back to the Legion for lunch.

During lunch, cheques were presented to various community organizations to help with community programs.

The Salvation Army and The Olive Tree each received $6,000. Both school division breakfast programs received $2,500. The local cadet program received $5,000 for helping out with Legion functions.

A touching moment at the end occurred when the late Paul Forges’ wife, Faye Forges, accepted a plaque to go on the wall in remembrance of Paul.

Paul helped broadcast the yearly ceremony, a tradition his wife promises to carry on.

The Legion wanted to thank everyone for attending and taking time to remember. Lest We Forget.

Lloyd council and RM enter into agreement CHRISTIAN APOSTOLOVSKI STAFF WRITER

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

The City of Lloydminster has entered into a road crossing operation agreement with the Rural Municipality (RM) of Britannia 502 for the Neale Edmunds Complex.

The complex is a system of lakes, streams and wetlands and it’s a critical component of the city’s stormwater and wastewater systems. Lloydminster operates and maintains the complex which consists of five control structures that regulate and stabilize the water levels in the main water bodies of the complex. It also includes five road crossings on private lands and municipal road right of ways that convey water through the system. “(Neale Edmuns Complex) Plays a huge role In the management of water as we’ve heard over the last little while at council today, it’s just tremendous when two municipalities can work together, it is beneficial, the water is conveyed through Bri-

tannia on its way down the big gully creek all the way back to north Saskatchewan River. Certainly, mother nature provides some of that but it was also added with the control structures that have been added over time to manage the water,” said Lloydminster Mayor Gerald Aalbers.

He goes on to say with the policy in place it clearly outlines what the city and RM are doing and who’s responsible for what.

He also thanks those involved for the work that’s been put in.

“I’d like to say thank you to the RM of Britannia 502 for working with our city, and our administration, their administration to get to this road crossing operation and maintenance agreement, certainly the Edmund neale’s complex has been there for an awful long time” Council approved the motion to enter into a road crossing operation and Maintenance Agreement – Neale Edmunds Complex with the RM Britannia No. 502 and that Administration be authorized to sign and seal all documents.

First look at Bonnyville budget CHRISTIAN APOSTOLOVSKI STAFF WRITER

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

Bonnyville residents are getting their first look at the 2025 budget.

As of the first draft of the budget, Bonnyville is facing a deficit of $14,804,304 in their capital budget, which needs to be balanced.

An increase in overall expenses was noted in Bonnyville’s operating budget in the amount of $2,879,171. The deficit in the operating budget is $2,473,081. Areas of increase include funding requests of $640,000 from outside organizations. The addition of a CPO position would cost $97,700 and the addition of a development technician would cost $96,500.

Bonnyville is looking at adding another CPO position, at this time it is being reviewed if the department is busy enough to warrant adding another position.

There are also a number of new projects in the capital budget impacting the deficit. Implementation of New Brand projects are currently being identified, valued at $1 million. The Jesse Lake Trail Repairs, Soccer Field Parking Lot and Downtown Revitalization project costs have yet to be determined. A number of items have been recommended for deferral by administration.

These include, 50 Avenue Functional Planning Study, $100,000, 46 Street Shared Left Hand Turn Markings, $80,000 and deferring the Future Library Expansion, $1,500,000.

One of the items that may be deferred to the following year is the installation of new traffic lights, which Town of Bonnyville Mayor Elisa Brosseau says she doesn’t want to see happen.

“The installation of the traffic lights, I’d like to see us go ahead and do something, I know the conversation was do we do the ones on the west side of town or the ones at the intersection by the police station,” she said. “I would just like to see it be a little bit more proactive, it’s just getting so busy in town, that’s a project I’d like to see not deferred and to see happen.”

Draft one of the budget was presented in front of council to gather suggestions and changes. The second draft presentation will happen at the Nov. 26 council meeting.

LMHA proposing player suspensions DAN GRAY STAFF WRITER

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

An emergency meeting to change organizational bylaws follows the first Lloydminster Minor Hockey Association (LMHA) communication about removing the chair and vicechair on Sept. 27.

LMHA general manager, Dan Auchenberg, sent out a letter to parents on Nov. 7. It provides as much det a i l a s p os s i ble reg arding th e subject.

“We would like to inform you that the authorities are currently handling the matter regarding the news article sent out today. Out of respect for the ongoing investigation and legal process, we are unable to provide specific details until further instruction,” stated the letter.

“In the meantime, we are taking immediate steps to ensure that the work of the association continues smoothly and without disruption.”

One of those steps includes an amendment which gives the league more power than in the past.

Under Section 18 of the bylaw, the proposed change reads as follows: “All Members, by virtue and because of their status as such, agree that any recourse to the legal court of any jurisdiction before all right and remedies as provided for by the Bylaws of the Association, Hockey Alberta, and the Canadian Hockey Association have been availed of and until deemed by the LMHA to be unsportsmanlike conduct enabling the Executive Committee to suspend and/or disqualify the said persons.”

In layman’s terms, if you sue the organization before proper LMHA processes are completed, you and your children will be suspended.

This appears to be in direct opposition of another bylaw proposed for that meeting. The change to bylaw 3.1 states: • 3.1 To allow players to play the game at a competitive level.

• 3.2 To develop a sense of pride in LMHA and the community of Lloydminster.

• 3.3 To ensure that everyone enjoys an opportunity to participate in a fun and pleasurable minor hockey experience.

• 3.4 To ensure that the game of hockey contributes to the health and well being of our children and our community.

• 3.5 To grow our community, through developing our children to be good citizens.

• 3.6 To provide for the recreation of members and to promote and afford opportunity for friendly and social activities.

• 3.7 To encourage and promote Fair Play.

Other sections of the current bylaws will be completely eliminated if the proposed changes go through.

Other significant changes for the association are also present. They address transparen c y, commu nicat ion and f iscal responsibility.

The LMHA proposed significant updates to its meeting bylaws to enhance transparency and streamline communication. Under the amended Bylaw 6, the association

will continue to hold the annual general meeting (AGM) between May 15 and Sept. 30 each year. New specifications require that either the general manager or the board of directors calls the meeting.

Additionally, they must give members at least 15 days’ written notice.

Notification methods now include postings on the LMHA website and social media, allowing for more accessible communication with members.

In response to members’ requests, the revised bylaw also enables 20 members in good standing to convene a special meeting, limited strictly to the matters specified in the request. The LMHA intends to revise voting procedures during the meeting as well. Meanwhile, eligible members will cast one vote per household, with no option for proxy voting. The association’s president votes only to break a tie. These updates aim to create a clearer, more inclusive process for LMHA members to engage in decision-making.

On the financial front, a few minor adjustments are being made to Section 12, which pertains to financial signing authority. The goal is to enhance oversight and clarity in handling funds.

Under the current bylaw, all financial transactions require dual authorization with signatures from two of the following: executive committee members, the treasurer, or a bonded designate approved by the board.

This protocol will remain in place, requiring two signatures for checks and electronic transactions.

The proposed change expands the list of approved signatories for Alberta Gaming Funds accounts. Previously, these accounts required signatures from two of four designated positions: the president, vice president, disciplinary chairperson, or program development chairperson.

However, the amendment adds a fifth position—the director of league relations—providing greater flexibility in authorizing gaming funds transactions.

This update reflects LMHA’s commitment to extensive financial oversight by increasing the pool of signatories for gaming funds and clarifying dual-authorization requirements across all accounts.

In response to a request for comment on the need for a meeting, LMHA general manager Dan Auchenburg pointed to a missed financial issue.

“The special AGM concerns the bylaws for AGLC (Alberta Gaming Liquor and Cannabis) cash raffle tickets. We are having the meeting to uphold our AGLC account, which was missed in our annual AGM meeting,” stated Auchenburg.

Additionally, every other sub-section of the by-laws is facing minor adjustments.

The LMHA is a member association of both Hockey Canada and Alberta Hockey. Hockey Canada commits “to lead, develop and promote positive hockey experiences “ in its equity, diversity, and inclusion policies.

The Meridian Source has contacted both organizations for comment on the proposed amendments.

Imitation firearm leads to arrest at hospital CHRISTIAN APOSTOLOVSKI STAFF WRITER

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

A Cold Lake resident has been charged with weapon offences after concealing an imitation firearm.

On Nov. 6, at 5:45 p.m., an officer from Cold Lake RCMP was at the Cold Lake Healthcare Centre on an unrelated matter. The officer observed a man conceal a firearm on their person.

The officer immediately began issuing verbal commands to the man and verbally placed them under arrest.

With help from Alberta Health Services security, the man was secured.

A subsequent search revealed the handgun was an imitation.

RCMP have charged Cold Lake resident, Damian Belch, 21, with three counts of weapon offences and resisting arrest.

Young appointed Minister of Energy GEOFF LEE STAFF WRITER

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

Lloydminster MLA Colleen Young became Saskatchewan’s new Minister of Energy and Resources in a post-election cabinet shake-up announced by Premier Scott Moe. “This is a new beginning - a new government with a new mandate from Saskatchewan voters, and today we have a new cabinet,” Moe said on Nov. 7.

“I know every minister is looking forward to taking on their new responsibilities, addressing the opportunities and challenges that face Saskatchewan.”

Young was the Minister of Advanced Education prior to the provincial election on Oct. 28.

The new 16-member cabinet is two ministers smaller than the previous cabinet.

The government’s longest-serving minister Jim Reiter becomes the new Deputy Premier and Minister of Finance.

Reiter has been a minister since 2009. He will also serve as Minister of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety and Minister of Immigration and Career Training.

“In the recent election, many people voted to reelect our government to ensure a strong economy and a bright future, while many others voted for change. Our new government will deliver both,” said Moe. “We will ensure Saskatchewan’s economy remains strong and growing, while addressing the challenges of a growing province like timely access to health care and improved learning opportunities for children in our schools.”

Four ministers are entering cabinet for the

first time: -Alana Ross as Minister of Parks, Culture and Sport, Minister responsible for the Status of Women, Tourism Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority - Daryl Harrison as Minister of Agriculture; - Travis Keisig as Minister of Environment - Eric Schmalz as Minister of Government Relations, Minister responsible for First Nations, Métis and Northern Affairs.

Two former ministers will re-enter cabinet: -Ken Cheveldayoff as Minister of Advanced Education -Warren Kaeding as Minister of Trade and Export Development.

Current ministers taking on new responsibilities are: -Everett Hindley becomes Minister of Education -Jeremy Cockrill becomes Minister of Health -Lori Carr becomes Minister of Mental Health and Addictions, Seniors and Rural and Remote Health; -Tim McLeod becomes Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Minister of Corrections and Public Safety -David Marit becomes Minister of Highways, Minister of SaskBuilds and Procurement -Jeremy Harrison becomes Minister of Crown Investments Corporation and all of its commercial Crown Corporations, and Minister responsible for the Public Service Commission -Terry Jenson becomes the Minister of Social Services Moe also named the new House leadership positions for the government caucus. They are: -Government House Leader, Tim McLeod;

- Deputy House Leader, Lori Carr; -Government Whip, Todd Goudy -Deputy Whip, Sean Wilson.

- Jamie Martens becomes the new Provincial Secretary.

Moe said the government is planning to hold a fall sitting of the Legislature and a date for the Throne Speech will be announced soon.

Co-op continues decade-old tradition

DAN GRAY STAFF WRITER

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

The Lloydminster and District Co-op is celebrating its 10th annual Spread a Little Love campaign in Lloydminster.

The Co-op grocery store, in partnership with The Olive Tree, are hoping to help over 900 seniors this year. Co-op CEO, Peter Brown, and The Olive Tree chief operations officer, Jana Thompson, gathered for the launch on Nov. 4.

“It’s an important project which has grown from just under 400 participants the first year to over 900 this year,” stated Brown. “We want to give back to the members who have been so good to the Co-op, who may sometimes not get a present for Christmas,

for whatever reason.”

He encourages shoppers to pick an ornament, find the listed articles and return them to the Co-op. Staff will then package the gifts and ensure it gets to the proper recipient.

“Seniors have always been a huge part of what we do, not only supporting them and making sure they’re loved and cared for, but supplying essential items as well,” said Thompson. “When Co-op touched base with us about this project, we were very excited to get on board.”

The campaign ensures low-income seniors or seniors who may not have family, get a little something.

If you want to participate, you can visit the tree inside the Co-op store on 50 Ave.

Being a leader is something few do. For me, I’m a much better follower than a leader.

Lloydminster has had an interesting history, being split into the Town of Lloydminster, Sask., and the Village of Lloydminster, Alta., giving it a unique perspective in terms of leadership.

It all started with Rev. George Exton Lloyd and Rev. Isaac Montgomery Barr who famously did not like each other. Barr was driven from the colony and Lloyd took over leadership.

In its early days, W.W. Amos was the “overseer” of the settlement followed by H.B. Hall before the split happened in 1907.

Some familiar names remained in power, Dr. G.L. Cooke, G.M. Cooke presided over the village, H.B. Hall even returned to office after his first stint.

Harold Huxley, who came to Canada with the Barr Colonists, was instrumental in amalgamating the two Lloydminsters. He served as Mayor on the Sask side of Lloyd from 1918-1920 and 1926-1929 and remained the elected leader of the now-united Lloydminster.

Kathleen (Kay) Matheson was dedicated to the

H

community, in the ‘40s and ‘50s she held office in the Catholic Women’s League, the Home and School Association and the Kinette Club.

In 1959 she was elected to the first Catholic School Board and served for eleven years, four as chairperson. This made her the first Lloydminster woman to hold public office.

In her leadership journey, Matheson became an alderman in 1971, continuing until elected Mayor in 1979. She was the first woman to hold the prestigious leadership title in the border city.

This column would go on forever if I outlined every Mayor, councillor, or person in a leadership position.

What I do want to outline is the importance that every leader has played in shaping Lloydminster into what it is today.

Elected or not, leaders have dedicated their lives to making Lloyd better, helping their neighbours and their communities.

I am writing this just before the finale of the municipal election, but I think the future is bright for Lloyd. Much like many that came before, new views will enter the council chambers supporting the voice of the community. We are who we are today in this beautiful city because of the leaders who championed causes important to their times, leaving a lasting impact on the community. If you listen closely today, you’ll hear plenty still fighting for what’s important.

uge rave to the gentleman that the took time out of his day to help me with not only an embarrassing but loud and annoying incident with my alarm honking on my Jeep. I was super frustrated cause I was trying everything I could think of but nothing was working. To myself and my daughter’s relief, it got figured out, but before we were gonna leave he came back to our vehicle and handed us (Cobs cinnamon buns)! My jaw dropped and I already ate one in the car, but it should have been the other way around, I just wasn’t thinking after being so stressed out. If he reads this I would like to get him a Tim’s card atleast. Thanks again for the help. - Melanie M

Opinion

Gray Matters: Putting kids in the middle With an ongoing investigation into Lloydminster Minor Hockey Association, the timing for a new policy seems to be, convenient.

There is a litany of reasons parents may want to take legal action against a sports organization.

Money mismanagement, breach of trust, wrongful dismissal and not keeping kids safe are just a few examples.

The LMHA is an organization

steeped in history. It has provided opportunities for countless generations to attain their dreams of playing elite-level hockey.

Players, such as Brayden Schenn, have even seen their journey end in the NHL. So, imagine my surprise when they decided to come up with a bylaw out of the blue. It proposes an unsportsmanlike conduct suspension for the off-ice activities of their parents.

Taking legal action against the league could now result in your membership (and by proxy your child’s) possibly being suspended.

Pitting a child’s future hockey career

directly against justice in many parents’ minds.

One of the first things they tell you when it comes to children’s mental well-being is to keep them out of the middle. Children are never to be used as pawns for adults.

Dr. George Simon, a well-known psychologist has called the manipulative nature of using children as pawns, a cowardly act that harms the innocent party—the child.

He emphasizes this behaviour can lead to emotional and psychological damage later in life.

So why implement this proposal at an emergency meeting meant to fix by-laws around money man-

agement? Why not wait until your annual general meeting?

The way it’s written gives the appearance they are just trying to align policies with both Alberta and Canada Hockey. But after 66 years, can’t it wait a few more months?

What are they afraid of coming from the investigation which may lead to legal action?

Understandably, in a letter to parents, they stated they can’t comment on a current investigation.

Alas, I’m just an import from Ontario, giving a different perspective on issues in our community. In my opinion, they are covering their butts, we just don’t know why yet.

Letter to the editor ...

I

would like to thank the editor for the excellent and timely piece “Men’s Shelter loses to NIMBY.” I would like to encourage any resident who has not read it to do so.

You said, “Threatening the safety of individuals and groups who offer support to the unhoused should have no home in Lloydminster.” “A significant portion of our community

understands, unlike some, just how easy it can be to end up in that situation.”

“These individuals have found ways to help provide for the unhoused. Just because some residents don’t like it, doesn’t mean it isn’t both necessary and inhumane to do so.”

“Excrement in yards and alleys, loitering and drug use will continue to be an issue along with individuals found frozen to death over winter.

Unless the city or community can come up with a solution, and quickly, that is the reality.”

Thank you again for your humane point of view. I would like to see some interviews with homeless people published in the paper.

These are mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, etc. All members of our country.

Toddler health 101 : What every parent should know, according to a pharmacist DR. ASAD KASHANI SPECIAL TO THE SOURCE

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

Toddlers are naturally curious and adventurous, often leading to climbing on furniture or drawing on walls.

While this can be amusing, it becomes concerning when mysterious rashes, scratches, or sniffles appear.

For busy parents, balancing work and home responsibilities becomes even more challenging when their little ones fall ill. This is where pharmacists come in handy.

They provide a convenient and accessible source of professional health advice and care, eliminating the hassle. Whether it’s a minor cough, a stubborn cold, or reassurance about a diaper rash, pharmacists are ready to assist.

With pharmacies open early and late, finding a time that fits into your hectic schedule is easy, making it

simpler to manage your toddler’s health needs.

Knowledgeable pharmacists can assess and prescribe treatments for many minor conditions, allowing you to quickly address health concerns and return to enjoying life with your child.

As your Lloydminster pharmacist, here are some essential health tips every parent should know.

Conquering thrush fuss: Oral thrush is a common mouth infection in young children.

Caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the mouth, toddlers are at a higher risk for contracting oral thrush because their immune systems are still developing.

If you are a parent and have concerns about your toddler having oral thrush, don’t worry! Your local pharmacist can help tackle this common toddler trouble.

We can assess and prescribe effective treatments to manage symptoms and clear the infection so your little ones can get back to doing what they love – exploring!

Clear skin, happy grins: One day your little one is playing outside, and the next, they’re dealing with red,

blistery spots on their face. Sound familiar? It could be impetigo.

Impetigo is one of the most common skin infections in toddlers. For parents who are juggling their busy workdays while also factoring in naps and snack time for their little ones, a quick stop at the pharmacy is all you need.

Your local pharmacist can offer tips for soothing the itchiness and prescribe topical antibiotics, if appropriate, to help provide your toddler with the relief they need.

Worm-free wonders: If your toddler is antsy and itchy, especially at nighttime, it could be those pesky pinworms causing a ruckus. Pinworms are parasites that live in the digestive system.

They are very common in young children as they spread easily in group settings such as daycares and schools. If your child has pinworms,

everyone in your family needs to practice good hand hygiene to limit the spread.

Visit your local pharmacy today to receive expert advice on preventing the spread of pinworms and walk away with over-the-counter or prescription treatments, as necessary, to ease your toddler’s discomfort.

Think of pharmacists as the guardians of your little one’s health, always on standby to handle everything from sniffles to scrapes with expert care and a friendly smile.

Parents, keep in mind that your pharmacist is available around the clock to ensure your toddler stays healthy and happy.

Lloydminster Council has approved two property tax exemptions that were not presented to council earlier this year.

Administration received a total of two property tax exemption applications from non-profit organizations that were not presented to council at the Jan. 22 council meeting. The applications were received by the deadline of Sept. 30, 2023 for the following taxation year.

Administration reviewed them and determined all applications meeting the requirements of the non-profit organization property

tax exemptions policy.

“This year we had another call for proposals from non-profits, as a part of our annual review we do every year to make sure ones council has approved we check those make sure they still qualify for exemptions and in this process we found two we missed in January. So we’re bringing these forward to correct that at this time,” said Scott Pretty, director, assessment and taxation.

Council approved the non-profit organization property tax exemption policy in 2024. The policy set the deadline for applications as Sept. 30 of each year.

The two properties are both Residents in Recovery Society locations.

Holy Rosary students accept APEGA test DAN GRAY STAFF WRITER

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

An oilfield-related science challenge issued by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA) had students thinking outside the box Oct. 30.

The APEGA Science Challenge brought together Grade 10 Holy Rosary High School students at the Servus Sports Centre in Lloydminster to explore engineering and problemsolving.

Organized by APEGA, the event aimed to inspire students to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields through a practical and engaging experience.

The students were tasked with building a hydraulic arm from household materials like duct tape, cardboard, and syringes. Additionally, their challenge was to design an arm that could complete progressively more complex tasks within a limited two-hour timeframe.

“It’s an excellent experience, and I recommend it,” said Grade 10 student Brady Gauld, who described the event as a valuable shift from classroom-based learning. “I think learning everything about hydraulics and science is important to everyday life.

It’s more real-life science and less in the classroom.”

Nigel McCarthy is the director of

education for the Lloydminster Catholic School Division. He values the real-world application this challenge gives the students.

“Careers don’t happen in the classroom; careers happen in the real world,” he said. “These are the kinds of experiences that make us part of the future for our kids.”

Meanwhile, McCarthy hopes events like this expand to other schools. It allows students from various communities to collaborate on challenges.

Additionally, those challenges mirror the kind of problem-solving they’ll encounter in higher education and future careers.

“It’s about gaining confidence and resilience in the face of new challenges,” added McCarthy.

Nathan Ash, an APEGA representative, highlighted the importance of providing students with practical applications for the skills they learn in school.

“One of the things APEGA wants to encourage is fostering math, science, collaboration, and problem-solving,” said Ash. “In engineering and STEM, a lot of what you do involves turning things on paper into something real.

This allows students to be creative and work with their hands.”

However, the hydraulic arms were created by students to serve as miniature versions of equipment used in industries from manufacturing to

Braydon Gauld and his team work to finish the APEGA science challenge. Dan Gray Photo food production to oil and gas.

“These hydraulic arms are the type of devices we use all the time in various industries,” Ash explained. “It’s that practical side of engineering — understanding how something works and then seeing what can be done with it.”

For the students, the task was both exciting and challenging.

“Making a good base that will support the whole thing is pretty challenging,” said Gould.

“Using the hydraulics in a way that lets them move exactly as you need is pretty difficult.”

Jade Scutt, a Science and STEM 10 teacher at Holy Rosary High School, explained that the students only had basic materials, which encouraged creativity and resourcefulness.

“They found out they have to build

a hydraulic arm to complete a series of tasks,” Scutt said. “It’s all about being creative with duct tape, cardboard, and zip ties and seeing what might work best.”

Ash hopes this hands-on experience ignites an interest in engineering careers.

“APEGA’s goal with the Science Challenge is to give kids an opportunity to try something hands-on and foster more practical applications for science and STEM,” said Ash. “We want to encourage students to consider engineering as a future path.”

According to everyone in attendance, the event was a success. In the future, they hope that students from both boards will attend and provide a friendly challenge on the science battlefield.

Lakeland College is welcoming. A.J. Mokelky to their board of governors.

“It’s an honour to welcome A.J. to the board,” says Adam Waterman, chair, Lakeland College Board of Directors. “He has experience both with his law and business background and as a student within the region. His voice will bring an important perspective to our discussions and decisions as we move forward plotting the course for the future of Lakeland College.”

The announcement was made Nov. 5. Mokelky was a graduate of the Lloydminster education system and an alumni of Lakeland’s university transfer program.

Mokelky grew up in Lloydminster and graduated from the University of Saskatchewan Col-

lege of Law 2018. He currently works as a lawyer at Revering Law Office in Lloyd, focusing on commercial and corporate law, real estate, wills and estates and civil litigation.

Mokelky also provides pro bono services for multiple societies and non-profits in the city. He is excited to be involved with Lakeland College.

“Some of my earliest memories of Lakeland College include playing Border City Basketball every weekend in the college gymnasium from the time I was five years old and attending as a student many years later. Lakeland’s university transfer program allowed me to explore several areas of study in one year and helped me discover where my interests and passions lay,” he said.

The board of governors consists of 12 members and is responsible for managing the college on behalf of the citizens of Alberta.

SGI/RCMP issue holiday season plea DAN GRAY STAFF WRITER

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

As people in Saskatchewan gear up for festivities with friends and family, motorists are reminded to be safe during the holiday season.

Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) is taking this opportunity to remind residents of the vital role they play in preventing impaired driving.

“We all want our loved ones to get home safe,” says JP Cullen, Chief

Operating Officer of the Auto Fund.

“Be the MVP among your friends and family this year by volunteering to be the designated driver.”

With social gatherings increasing, impaired driving continues to be a significant risk. It contributed to 32 per cent of traffic fatalities in Saskatchewan last year.

SGI encourages everyone to consider a range of safe ride options, including calling a cab, rideshare, a designated driving service, using

public transit, staying overnight, or taking turns as the designated driver.

Additionally, in more remote areas, making arrangements with a sober friend or family member is important to ensure everyone’s safety.

Meanwhile, the Lloydminster RCMP echoed the same message, with Staff Sgt. Brad Mouland urging people to be safe.

“As we approach the holiday season, the Lloydminster RCMP wishes to remind everyone not to drink and

File Photo drive,” stated Mouland. “There are many transportation options available in our community, and driving under the influence of alcohol isn’t one of them.”

“Impaired driving has long-lasting impacts on people’s lives, and is always preventable,” he said.

Barons Balgonie bound for provincials TAYLOR WEAVER EDITOR

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

The Barons are officially provincials bound.

While most students enjoyed a quiet weekend outside of school, the Lloydminster Comprehensive High School Barons Sr. boys volleyball team was in the gym earning their spot at this weekend’s provincials in Balgonie, Sask.

Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association (SHSAA) regionals took place at the Comp on Nov. 9. The Barons punched their ticket to provincials after four matches in what head coach Doug Smith called ‘The most competitive tournament I’ve ever been a part of.”

The Barons faced North Battleford Comp and Prince Albert Carlton before the real test came in the day’s third match against Prince Albert St. Mary’s.

“We had to do it the hard way and

dropped a match early in the day.

Then we went up against St. Mary’s, who hadn’t lost a match all year to a Sask team, and the boys dug deep and showed a lot of heart.”

Barons captain, Kolton Wildeman, echoed his coach regarding the St. Mary’s match.

“I think taking out St. Mary’s of Prince Albert was a big plus for us as well, especially since they’re undefeated for two seasons,” said Wildeman. “It was amazing. It was a really close match, we battled really hard for it. I really wanted that game, and the team worked hard for it.”

This year’s Barons squad is comprised of Clovis Ceniza, Rylan Smith, Carson Krchov, Zayden Chambers, Wildeman, Lennon Mari, Marc Geron, Jory Wagner, Konlon Topp, KC Reyes, Grayson Burnouf, Jared Mendoza, Zander Chambers and coaches Doug Smith and Diane Gow. CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

Heading into the final battle of the season, Wildeman explained communication has been the key this year.

“Being positive and having a really excited, loud team on and off the court is the most important part,” he said.

“I find if I’m being loud, it helps the team a lot, especially being captain.”

“When we communicate really well and play with passion, anything is possible. Anything is possible with this team,” added coach Smith.

Grade 12 setter Rylan Smith explained he’s excited for this weekend’s experience as it will be his first provincials as a Baron.

“Everyone was riding the high of happiness after Saturday’s win,” said Smith. “We didn’t expect to win against St. Mary’s. We went in with the attitude to win big and pulled out on top.”

Smith said he feels confident going into this weekend.

“Attitude is the key this weekend,” he said.

This weekend’s action will see two pools of five teams go at it in single elimination play.

“We feel really good going into this weekend,” said coach Smith.

“The possibilities are endless for us. When we go this weekend, there won’t be a team there that has the depth we do.”

Raiders roll through Lakers in provincial semi-final

Dan Gray Meridian Source Photo DAN GRAY STAFF WRITER

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

The Holy Rosary Raiders dominated the Sylvan Lake H.J. Cody High School Lakers this past weekend.

The final score of the tilt, held in Red Deer, was 55-0.

“We controlled it from the very start,” said Raiders head coach Vince Orieux.

“We scored on our opening drive and just kept rolling from there.”

The Raiders jumped to an early 10-0 lead and never looked back.

Orieux highlighted the team’s balanced approach.

“We were able to run the ball, throw the ball, and just took control early,” he said. “The kids looked a lot

sharper than they did in the league final.”

The Raiders executed well on offence, defence, and special teams, giving them total control.

The north provincial final brings a familiar foe in the St. Paul Lions.

They defeated them two weeks ago to win the Wheatland Football League Championship.

“St. Paul is well-coached and physical,” Orieux explained. “If we give them any breaks, they’ll take advantage, so we’ll have to prepare very well.”

This provincial game, he added, “takes on a different meaning” as they aim for a spot in the finals.

Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. on Nov. 16 at Taurus Field in Fort Saskatchewan.

High scoring weekend for Bandits

Bandits captain, Joel Webb, takes it to Vegreville on Saturday in Lloydminster. Taylor Weaver Meridian Source TAYLOR WEAVER EDITOR

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

The Lloydminster Bandits scored 18 goals in 120 minutes of hockey over the weekend.

A 6-3 loss to the Vermilion Tigers on Nov. 7 didn’t deter the boys from burying the Vegreville Rangers 9-1 on Nov. 9 and the Cold Lake Ice 9-2 on Nov. 10.

For first-year head coach Josh Dudding, the team’s success can be partly credited to a longstanding on-ice relationship.

“Most of this team’s been together for three seasons, and I’ve been on the bench with them as an assistant coach for two of those seasons,” explained Dudding. “When Jason Ross and Lenny Young stepped

away, I took the head coach position for this year and years forward.”

Dudding commented on his team’s performance last weekend, saying it’s great to see hard work paying off.

“It’s hard to pinpoint one area for the key to success,” said Dudding.

“For the guys, after the loss to Vermilion, we came in, and the mould

of this weekend was, let’s play a group of 20 guys, not 20 individuals, and I think we showed that.”

When it comes to certified beauticians, there’s no shortage on the Bandits’ bench.

Captain Joel Webb is second in league points with 17 goals and 15 assists in 13 games for 32 points.

Kade Dennett is tenth overall with nine goals and 11 assists in 13 games for 20 points; Silas Reeds is eleventh overall with four goals and 16 assists in 13 games for 20 points.

Jayden Plamondon sits 18th for points with seven goals and nine assists in 13 games for 16 points.

“Webb is a very vocal guy,” said Dudding. “You probably can’t find another guy in that room who wants to win as much as he does.”

“Our leadership group is Webb, Plamondon, Reeds and Dennett. We talked with them over the summer to see what they wanted from this season. The message was, ‘We want to win.’”

Dudding explained the team has taken tough lessons to the chin over the past three seasons. He also noted a lot of success that keeps building.

The Bandits host the Onion Lake Border Chiefs at the Civic Centre tomorrow night (Nov. 15) at 7:30 p.m.

The Bandits are in St. Paul on Nov. 16 to play the Canadiens.

Word on the beat: Warrants for arrests Staff Sgt. JERRY NUTBROWN SPECIAL TO THE SOURCE

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

In a Word on the beat article published in the Sept. 26 edition of the Meridian Source, I mentioned warrants for arrest.

That article spoke of authority in what is a warrantless arrest. This is typically an arrest at the time of, or shortly after, someone has committed a crime.

Generally, the investigator of an incident will locate and arrest the accused person as soon as possible once they have formed reasonable and probable grounds to make an arrest.

An arrest warrant provides authority to any peace officer to arrest a person with the warrant itself being the reasonable and probable grounds.

An arresting officer in this case is not required to know all the details of the offense the accused is alleged to have committed, they merely need to know a warrant for arrest exists.

For an officer to obtain a warrant, they must provide justification to a

justice or judge that an offense, or offenses, have been committed and the identity of the accused is known.

I’ll remind readers there are many complicating factors that come into law enforcement, but for writing these articles, I will keep things as plain and straightforward as I can.

Once enough evidence has been gathered to apply for a warrant, an Information is sworn/affirmed, which is the document that formally charges a person.

If you see a person’s photo published as the police are trying to locate an accused individual, this means an Information has been laid, which now allows police to release the identity of an accused adult.

Once a warrant is granted, its existence is then recorded on the Canadian Police Information Centre database (CPIC).

This is a database that only Canadian police officers and other authorized personnel have access to.

If you are driving and pulled over by a police officer, you are likely to

File Photo be queried on CPIC to see if you have any outstanding arrest warrants. This database also has other uses but for today, just know arrest warrants are added to it.

If a person has a warrant for arrest, before it is executed (which means the person is arrested) the warrant is confirmed with the originating agency. If Edmonton Police have an arrest warrant on CPIC and the individual is queried by an officer here in Lloydminster, the accused can be arrested once Edmonton Police confirm the warrant.

Another piece of an arrest warrant is whether or not it is endorsed. An endorsed warrant means a judge or justice that authorized it also autho-

rized the arresting police officer to then release the accused on a court compelling document.

An unendorsed warrant means the officer must bring the accused before a judge or justice to then speak to possible release.

A court may also issue an arrest warrant and in some very serious cases, it will be Canada wide as opposed to only within a specific province. However, any provincially issued warrants can be extended to other provinces.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF DYLAN COLE MCGILLIS JULY 3, 1986 - NOVEMBER 19, 2006 They say there is a reason, They say that time will heal, But neither time nor reason, Will change the way we feel.

No one knows the heartache, That lies behind our smiles, No one knows how many times, We have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something, So there won't be any doubt, You're so wonderful to think of, But so hard to be without.

We’ll miss your smile forever, Your charm we won’t forget, We’re thankful for the memories, With only one regret.

Never will we have you, To admire and to love, Now we all must wait To meet you up above.

We Love and Miss you forever Dylan, Dad, Lisa and Families
