Small group protests library cuts GEOFF LEE
WRITER
Sometimes a book title will speak volumes, like the one Ron Gillies brought to a reading protest over cuts in operating grants to regional libraries totalling $3.5 million in the Saskatchewan budget. Gillies, the head librarian in Lloydminster, joined about 20 people outside the office of Lloydminster MLA Colleen Young last Friday, to send a silent book reading message that libraries matter. Gillies read, “The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu: And Their Race to Save the World’s Most Precious Manuscripts,� that sums up the province-wide campaign to save the One Card, One Library loan system. “That’s what we’re here to do today, along with a group of likeminded library supporters, trying to save the one province one library service in Saskatchewan that is a model of its kind,� said Gillies. Residents in the Lakeland library region serving the Lloydminster Pubic Library are denied access to nearly 3.5 million loan items since the service was suspended on April 10. Each region got a 58 per cent cut to their operating grant —a loss of $500,000 that funded inter-libary loan deliveries. The provincial buget eliminated all funding grants to public libaries in Regina and Saskatoon. “We think the government, although in tougher financial times, made a real mistake trying to eliminate this as one of their budget targets two weeks ago,� said Gillies. He was pleased by the mix of adults, children and library users at the protest, one of 40 to 50 that took place at MLA offices throughout the province. “It’s good to see people here just to make a statement that libraries matter to them personally,� said Gillies. “They’re trying to bring to the attention of Colleen Young, our MLA who is part of the Saskatchewan caucus, that they really need to rethink this one.� Young was not in Lloydminster for the 15-minute reading protest, but said during a phone interview that afternoon, that cutting the deficit is a priority for her party. “I know that they (constituents) are concerned and we quite understand it, but as we all know, we are trying to get a handle on the deficit of the province, rather than kicking the can down the road and recurring more,� said Young

The event took place at noon on April 7 outside the Lloydminster constituency office of MLA ,Colleen Young. GEOFF LEE LLS PHOTO “I know it’s important; we do value libraries—we needed to share the burden to every area, and it’s unfortunate, but we are working on our deficit.� The Lakeland region has redone their budget with $1.2 million in revenue from municipal levies and $300,000 in operation grants after the cuts. There are about 30 libraries in the region. Gillies said the immediate budget hit to the Lloydminster Public Library is about $25,000 with the loss of the One Card, One Libary loan system, affecting everyone in the province. Young noted Education Minister Don Minister who has stated the One Card, One Library system must be maintained, has meetings planned this week to seek a solution. “The minister is willing to sit down with those services and see if there’s something that we can do a little different in order to keep those services going,� said Young. “We know it is a value source for people, but as I said, we are trying to find ways to find some efficiencies and some savings,� said Young.

Wayne Schlapkohl from North Battleford was in Lloydminster for business and took part in the noon reading rallying in support of his wife who used to deliver books to small rural libraries that depended on inter-library loans programs. “So I know just how crucial it is to those small towns that that program keeps going,� he said. “They had a van that would literally fill up five days a week.� Schlapkohl recalled if anything, those people were always saying there was more books than they could carry. “I think I worried about strain injuries because there was so much lifting,� he said. Gillies said without the resources to make it happen, inter library loans are not likely to happen despite Morgan’s decrees that it must happen. “No matter how you cut it, someone’s got to pay the price of moving that stuff,� he said. “Without the money. we can’t move it; you can’t just click your fingers and say make it happen without the resources.� Jill McKenzie who brought her
young son and a boy she was babysitting to the reading protest said without libraries, there’s going to be a lot less inclusion. McKenzie used to tutor literacy and English as a second language. “We use the library; we’ve used Marsden and Paradise Hill and we come into Lloydminster to the library and we use the kid’s programming,� she said. “I think they are not realizing how important it is to our small towns.� Lorna Nuspl, a Lloydminster resident was reading “Dangerous Ladies Affair� and described herself as an avid library user. “I have been forever since I was a teenager and I want the library to continue to function and support all the people of Lloydminster and the surrounding area,� she said. Nuspl said she’s at the Lloydminster library once or twice a week. “My children are avid readers because they started out with the children’s program in Lloydminster and I just want to continue it for my grandchildren,� she added. Gillies said the immediate budget hit to the Lloydminster Public Library is about $25,000.

CFB Wainwright sent a commander and his attache to the rescue of the Rotary Club of Lloydminster to fill a need for a speaker for its regular weekly lunch meeting. It was a no brainer task for Lt-Col. Robert Tesselaar, commanding officer of the 3rd Canadian Training Centre at CFB Wainwright, and chief warrant officer, Tim Halcro, to speak about the army at the Lloydminster Exhibition Grounds on April 10. Tesselaar was in fact past president of the Wainwright Rotary Club, while Halcro as Tesselar’s advisor, was following orders to accompany him to the Prairie Room. “The club here in Lloyd reached out to the base looking for someone to come up and speak and the public affairs on the base knew I had a rotary connection, so he directed the request my way,” said Tesselaar. He told Rotary, as commander he’s responsible for the oversight of individual training of all the soldiers in Western Canada from Thunder Bay to Vancouver Island. The division itself is one three partner units in Wainwright including the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre and the base itself. Tesselaar’s training division is known as a centre for leadership and formative training with companies in Wainwright, Shiloh and Edmonton and runs the Bold Eagle program for Aboriginal youth that he spoke about in length. “The Bold Eagle program is one of the more rewarding programs we run personally and professionally,” he said. “The ties that we’ve created and continue to reinforce with our Aboriginal community and a lot of our veterans are outstanding.” Bold Eagle is a unique six week paid summer employment program starting in early July that combines Aboriginal culture and teachings with military training.
LISTEN UP Chief warrant officer Tim Halcro, left, and Lt.-Col. Robert Tesselaar, commanding officer of the 3rd Canadian Division Training Centre spoke about the centre at the Rotary Club of Lloydminster lunch on April 10. GEOFF LEE LLS PHOTO Tesselaar invites the public to attend the graduation ceremony at the base on Aug. 10 to witness the confidence Aboriginal youth gain from the program. “The graduation ceremony brings in such a broad group of spectators and supporters,” he said. Tesselaar noted the Lt. Governor of Saskatchewan is the patron of the program and the Lt. Gov, of Alberta regularly comes out to participate in the graduation ceremony. He also expects the base will put on an over the top Canada Day celebration with the town and the MD of Wainwright, to mark our nation’s 150 anniversary. “I’m not sure who they have brought in for a headline act,” he said. “They usually bring in a band to do some entertainment in the evening and some good fireworks afterwards.” All the celebrations are held on the base and are open to the public. Tesselaar also touched on some of the new infrastructure improvements at Camp Wainwright that is providing leading edge training to our troops. “Just last week, an expansion to our health clinic was opened,” he said. “It provides more facilities and ambulance bays and training facilities for our clinicians and medics.” As well, the finishing touches
are being made on the base’s personnel support centre to help soldiers transition to civilian life, particularly those who are dealing with medical or physical issues. Tesselaar noted some of the bridges on their training grounds are being upgraded to handle the new Light Armoured Vehicle III and Leopard 2 tanks. Construction is also coming to an end on buildings for an urban operations training site for modern warfare situations with civilians commonly in the mix. Tesselaar said there are 12 buildings that allow them to replicate a small village or town that they may need to operate in. He said it helps the commander and troops to “anticipate the potential collateral damage with weapons effects and the impacts that would have.” Tesselaar has one more year left in his role, while Halcro is moving to Ottawa this summer to take on more senior roles. He has spent nearly four years as the senior non commissioned officer in the training division as a regimental sergeant major and is looking forward to take his family to the capital. “It will also be an opportunity for my kids to go to school for college and university,” he said. Halcro spent 28 years in the Canadian Armed Forces and has experienced two deployments to Bosnia, one in Somalia and one in Afghanistan.

Riding to raise awareness for organ and tissue donations GEOFF LEE
WRITER
Morris Irvine from Lindbergh, Alberta got a second chance at life with a double lung transplant in 2011 and has been giving back every since. Irvin and his wife, Fae, are the founders and lead organizers of the 2nd Chance Trail Ride to raise funds and awareness for organ and tissue donations. The 6th annual event will take place on May 13 along the Iron Horse Trail from Lindbergh to Elk Point this year instead of Heinsburg since its arena is undergoing upgrades. Morris said he and his committee expect an even larger turnout than last year when 270 horseback and wagon passengers helped raise $70,000 for the cause. “It grows every year,” said the 70 year old. This year’s fundraising goal is $100,000, but Morris said getting it depends on the economy. It’s a cause close to the hearts of Morris and committee members such as Tom Matthews, Gary Heffner, and Harvey Nelson, who are living donor recipients. “It’s very important to me because I’m able to help people that don’t have the funds to go through this operation,” said Morris. “It costs a lot of money to stay in Edmonton and to look after the home too.” About 50 per cent of the funds support the GoodHearts Foundation that rents apartments near the University of Alberta for people going through the transplant process. Some of the funds are used
for a signage campaign to raise awareness about the importance of organ and tissue donation and to assist patients and their families with transplant living costs. Morris got the idea for a trail ride at the end of his post op recovery in hospital where he met Nelson who was going in for a transplant. “Me and my wife were sitting in the physio room when I asked her how can I give back,” said Morris. He noted they’ve always been horse people and did trail rides and covered wagon rides and stuff like that with his kids when they were young. “She said ‘why don’t we have a small trail ride’ so that’s what we started out with,” he said. People come from all over Western Canada to take part in the ride bringing their own horses or to ride on wagons including a stagecoach from St. Paul. It’s a 12 mile journey along the railway bed that includes a pit stop for a barbecue with overnight camping available in Elk Point. Tickets for the ride are $30 each. The ride is followed by a $25 per person catered meal, a live and silent auction and a dance with DJ music at the C.G. Baker Memorial Arena in Elk Point. The event has literally breathed new life into Morris who says he can pretty well do everything that he wants to with his new lungs. The semi retiree drives a crew bus in the wintertime for B & R Eckels and pilot trucks in the
summer. As a former farmer, Morris likes to pitch in to help his sonin-laws who farm and fittingly, he calls himself a wheelwright. “I fix wheels and repair wooden wheels for wagons and chuck wagons and stuff,” he said. He also relishes being his own wagon master who can haul about 14 people on the trail ride that gives him and others a second chance at life. Morris was reborn on March 13, 2011 with a transplant of his ruined lungs after a life of smoking and working around dust. “I am one of the lucky ones,” he said, noting committee member Matthews was his transplant mentor. “He was the one who mentored me because he already had his transplant,” he said. The idea of the ride, said he and Fae, is to give it back. Fae said she’s signed her online donor card and they have three great reasons for people to take part in the ride each year. The first one, she said, is to celebrate life after a transplant. The second goal is to give thanks to the living donors that are still alive and donor families that donated their loved ones’ organs. Lastly, the event aims to promote more organ and tissue donation. Representatives from the Canadian Transplant Association will be on hand with donor forms required for Saskatchewan residents to fill out in order to apply an orange donor sticker to their health cards.

Hairy course opens at Lakeland GEOFF LEE
WRITER
Call it a scissor-happy day at the Lloydminster campus of Lakeland College. A ribbon cutting ceremony on April 6 officially opened the college’s new hairstyling lab, that will house a fulltime hairstyling certificate program starting this fall for 24 students. “We’re officially opening it and we’ve got prospective students that will start next fall,” said Judy Sarsons, dean of Lakeland’s School of Health, Wellness and University transfer.“We’re meeting with them to explain the program.” Students will complete 1,400 hours of training over 10 months and graduate as eligible hairstylist apprentices. After completing another 1,400 hours of on-the-job training and passing industry exams, they become a certified journeyman. One of the 22 prospective students on hand for the opening was Lloydminster’s Eva Ward, who said she is motivated to learn something she’d liked to do for a living at a local school. Her career aspiration is to open her own business later on in life. “I am really looking forward to a new lab and it looks like it’s going to be a really good place to learn in,” she said. The ribbon cutting included a tour of the new lab, which is outfitted with 24 styling locations including one barber chair. It also has six ergonomic adjustable seats with lots of natural lighting and LED lights. Hairstyling student, Alex Wilcox, who cut the ribbon, wished she could

start over again in the new facility. “I am very jealous for the new students coming in,” she said. “They’ll have a lot more space; their clients will feel a lot more comfortable.” She also thinks just having a new facility in a more public space will account for a lot more walk-in clients. The lab and public clinic provides 133 sq. metres of space along with a colour
room for mixing professional products. The classroom is adjacent to the lab. The program’s training is based on Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training courses, with student -managed opportunities. To that end, the lab comes with a reception area to book and greet clients and to provide hairstyling services and manage product inventory. Students will also provide hair cuts and styling at some public clinics, which will be advertised next fall. “There will be a nominal fee because students are going to run this as a business,” said Sarsons. “The students have to learn a number of skills before we turn them loose on the public.”
Sarsons said she thinks students are excited to learn because it’s a full-time program, and they no longer have to go to Edmonton or Saskatoon to take the training. Students have access to campus services such as the residence, tutoring, recreation and student employment. There is also a high demand for hairstylists, which prompted the construction of the lab and full time programming. “That’s what our advisory committee and industry have told us,” said Sarsons. “As individuals have retired from that trade, there is always room for more initiative for people to set up their businesses.”

Ritz says Lib bill would target rural Canadians GEOFF LEE
WRITER
Battlefords-Lloydminster MP Gerry Ritz is taking pot shots at what he sees as an attempt by the Liberal Party to bring back a gun registry. Ritz fears possible gun control legislation this spring will again target rural Canadians and legitimate gun owners like him. “This hits very close to home,” said Ritz, in an interview from Ottawa last week. He noted the gun registry has been an issue in all seven elections he’s been in. “It’s one of those Liberal traits that just keeps rearing its ugly head,” he said. The Liberal policy platform will require firearms vendors to keep records of all firearms inventory and for vendors to keep records of all firearms sales and buyers’ information. Ritz is not buying assurances from Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, that changes to existing gun legislation in Bill C-42 won’t create a new gun registry. “They cannot achieve the changes they have publically proposed without a mechanism of registration,” said Ritz. The Liberals say record keeping of firearm inventory and sales will assist police in investigating firearm trafficking and other gun-related crimes. Ritz says he’s hearing from people that it’s fine if vendors and chief firearm officers want to check the validity of the their Possession and Acquisition Licences. “That’s fine; we’ve always gone along with that to make
GERRY RITZ sure people were trained and were registered,” said Ritz. “But now, they want to ascertain the validity of that licence on every sale, plus the store owner or whoever you’re buying that firearm from has to phone in and make sure you’re qualified to do that.” He said that means we are back to a registry. “It’s all about the data and whether you call it a firearm registry or not, by any other name, it’s still a data collection point that creates a registry again.” In 2011, the Progressive Conservatives introduced legislation that ended the registry and allowed the government to destroy records pertaining to non-restricted firearms. Data has always been kept for restricted weapons, and Ritz says anyone who deals in illegal firearm trading should be prosecuted. “But please, don’t as collateral damage, capture farmers or hunters,” said Ritz. “That’s always been the problem.”
He said when you talk to the owners of gun shops like Magnum Gun Outfitters or Prophet River Firearms in Lloydminster, they will tell you it’s tougher to make gun sales flow smoothly. “This is a commodity, this is a legal right to own as long as I am licensed, but now they’re starting to put together this data, which in the dark recesses of the Liberal mind will create another registry,” said Ritz. The Liberal’s legislation is positioned to get handguns and assault weapons off the street. They are proposing to provide $100 million a year to the provinces and territories to support police task forces to take illegal guns off the streets, and reduce gang violence. They also want to implement the imported gun market regulations delayed by the former PC government under Stephen Harper. The Liberals also plan to shake up the make-up and focus off the Canadian Firearms Advisory Committee to require enhanced background checks for anyone seeking to purchase a hand gun or other restricted firearms. “The advisory committee that minister Goodale has put together does not have any firearm-friendly people on it whatsoever, so there’s a bit of concern,” said Ritz. “Actually, there’s a bit of unrest from his own almost rural-based backbench Liberals concerned this is going to be gun registry number two. “You know what that did to the Liberals the last time around.”

While watching the remembrance of Vimy Ridge, during the governor general’s speech, a robin landed on my fence; the first one seen by me this spring. Upon thinking about these two events, the robin took on, for me, the symbolizing of the first event. The red breast a symbol of the bloodshed. The black feathers a symbol of so many lives lost, and the dark days of the recovering wounded. The yellow beak a symbol of a ray of hope. The white patches a symbol of the “crosses row upon row.” The robin, one of the first birds to arrive in spring, brings hope of a new beginning and new life. This Vimy remembered reminds us of the brave soldiers who hoped this “war would end
all wars,” as did people around the world. And so today, hope springs eternal that peace will be achieved. All people must work together relentlessly to defeat and eliminate our differences, prejudices, and revenge, and treat all people as equals. Let’s remember all the sacrifices made and let us not forget. Eileen Yaxley, Lloydminster
Where’s the patriotism?

Dear editor: While travelling the local area unday, the 100th year since the Battle of Vimy Ridge, I noticed the only flag that was at half-mast was at
the Kitscoty Legion, yet we fly flags at half-mast for previous premiers. Lest We Forget. Stan Anderson, Lloydminster

Don’t bet on it Much ballyhooed casino opening delayed
GEOFF LEE
WRITER
Don’t gamble on the Lloydminster casino opening this spring. That was the hope Little Pine First Nation chief Wayne Semaganis expressed during a project open house held last September in Lloydminster. “I want it to open in May,” he said at the time, noting Little Pine is the landowner and development partner along with Border Tribal Council. Neither Semaganis nor anyone
from Little Pine Business Development Inc., who are building a gas bar at the site, southeast of 40 Ave and Hwy. 16 was available for comment. Ben Borne, a spokesperson for the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA), currently looking to build and operate the casino, reported they started scraping the ground in December to lay a foundation. “The design process for our 30,000 sq-ft facility is underway, with a 2018 target for opening” he said late last week.
“We’re hoping to have more news on the project in the next couple of months.” The casino will cost about $20 million to construct, and will provide long-term employment and income for more than 140 people at all skill levels. The project calls for about 250 slot machines and eight tables. SIGA notes proceeds from the new casino will be reinvested in community priorities and causes through donations and sponsorships.

3ND ANNUAL SPRING RENO SALE ON NOW!
Oil drilling numbers double in first quarter Saskatchewan’s petroleum industry is showing signs of a positive start for 2017 after results for drilling activity during the first three months of the year were more than double the figures of 2016. “An increase of more than 450 wells drilled is an optimistic indicator for our oil industry and, by extension, Saskatchewan’s economic outlook for the
year ahead,” Energy and Resources Minister Dustin Duncan said. The number of wells drilled in the province from January to the end of March was 856, compared to 399 wells drilled during the same period in 2016. “Continued oil field activity at this pace is encouraging news,” Duncan said. “It contributes positively

to communities throughout our province and is part of our economic growth.” Saskatchewan’s oil and gas industry is responsible for an estimated 15 per cent of the province’s gross domestic product. A total of 1,648 oil wells were drilled in Saskatchewan in 2016, which was down 10 per cent from 1,831 oil wells drilled in 2015.

Rabbits don’t lay eggs DOLLARS & SENSE JILL McKENZIE
A
s Easter approaches, stores have filled up with chocolate eggs and all the holiday paraphernalia that comes with it. Whether it is the $40 stuffed animals or just the sheer amount of chocolate consumed, the whole thing can get excessive and, frankly, the more you give a kid the harder it is to impress them. On one hand, it makes sense to compare prices and try to get more for your dollar. In other words, shopping online for the treasures and treats that the Easter bunny will deliver, or comparing bulk vs. prepackaged chocolate, or making your own desserts rather than buying ready-made. There are many inventive ways to get yourself the same lavish, over-the-top Easter feast that you were used to before the drop in the price of oil. As parents, it’s hard to scale back spending on birthdays and holidays because you want to give your kids the best you can. Parents might be tempted to do without at other times and still push the boat out on special occasions. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But, if you’ve been struggling to get back on your feet, is it realistic to keep sacrificing in order to keep up appearances? At what point do you say enough is enough and stop the cycle of spending money you don’t have? And when do you allow your kids to adjust to the truth, rather than hiding it from them and perpetuating unrealistic expectations? Maybe it’s time to accept this
as our new normal, and adapt rather than imitate. Easter is a holiday that, for many, has become less about religion and more about the arrival of spring. To some, it’s nothing more than a week off school and a chance to eat chocolate. There comes a time when we, as parents and grandparents, must decide if we will just go with the flow and allow all our old meaningful holidays be swept up in the current of consumerism or if we will take a stand against it and stop buying in. What are your favorite Easter memories from childhood? A visit with grandparents? Possibly a walk through puddles or an Easter egg hunt? Did you travel to see family or did you have relatives stay over? Do you actually remember how much chocolate you received? Does it matter now? If buying your kids a new super hero themed Easter basket every year, along with a set of fuzzy rabbit ears, a stuffy, a toy, the list goes on, is what Easter means to you, well, to each their own. But if you can’t afford it, maybe it’s time to reconsider the memories you want your children to take with them into adulthood and parenthood themselves. How about a walk to collect pussy willows in a bouquet? How about a trip to the library—God save ‘em—for some books and movies which you then read or watch together, never once glancing at your cellphone? How about your children be in charge of making the meal, or help, with supervision, depending on their age? What will they remember better, that time they made gravy for grandpa?
Or the time they scored some new sneakers from the Easter bunny? It’s hard to say, anymore. Maybe kids would hate that and dig in their heels about having to help. All the more reason to make them. It seems like the more plastic there is involved in a holiday, the more commercial it has become and the further it has drifted from the original reason for celebration. If times are tough under your roof, why not return to some more traditional customs and forego the plastic Easter that has slowly become the norm? Buy a dozen eggs and some food colouring and dye eggs with your kids. Let them take the lead and pick their colours and designs. Set up a treasure hunt that has challenges and tests skills. Make the focus of this Easter the people, not the stuff. Let’s become a compassionate society and forego the Facebook and Instagram pictures of all the loot your kids got this Easter. Let’s make it socially unacceptable to splash materialism across social media feeds. Let’s frown on it. Instead, show pictures of yourself doing things with your kids. Go climbing trees. Play at the park. Let those pictures characterize your timeline. Show off what you have done for others. Instead of showing baskets of chocolate and gifts that you have received, post only images of what you have given to those in need. People are still hurting. There are kids that won’t get much this Easter, just like they didn’t get much for Christmas. But if they are given time and attention, it might be their most meaningful holiday yet.

Maintaining the value in your home Our home is, for most of us, the most valuable asset we will ever own. Unfortunately, as busy as life is, we sometimes let value slip through our fingers by not keeping up on maintenance. I was reminded of the importance of maintenance the other day when I inspected a 40 year old home with the original wood windows. Normally we would be suggesting it was time for replacement, but the windows were so well maintained that you would swear they were just installed last year. This is the value in proper maintenance. Make a check list or utilize a checklist from our web site for maintaining your home and perform regular maintenance spring and fall. On the exterior check things like caulking around windows and at exterior material transitions and watch for moisture staining. Clean window wells and gutters and downspouts to run as much water away from the home as possible. Replace damaged weather stripping around doors and windows. Keep trees and shrubs trimmed back to avoid wear on siding and shingles. Watch for deterioration of brick chimneys and siding, especially deteriorated mortar. Check for worn or missing shingles and flashings and repair and reseal as needed. Clean the exterior unit of your air conditioner to help it operate efficiently. Inside your home, look at the sealant around your tubs and showers and remove and replace it if it is cracked or peeling. Check the plumbing under your sinks for signs of leaking. Check the condition of the hoses to your washing machine and dishwasher. Clean or replace your furnace filter at least every three months and have the system professionally maintained every two years. If you have one, check to be sure your sump pump is operational. Check the operation and date of your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. The old adage rings true; “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.� For more information on your home, common problems, maintaining and improving your home, preparing for a home inspection and booking a home inspection, visit pillartopost.com. Pillar to Post offers you choices in home inspection depending on your needs. For a full on-site report on the common and not-so-common issues of your home or your soon to be home with a full in person review with the inspector, call Jeff with Pillar to Post Home Inspectors 780-205-7874.

APRIL IS PARKINSON’S AWARENESS MONTH As many know, Parkinson’s involves the death and malfunction of nerve cells primarily in an area of the brain called the substantia nigra. Some of these dying neurons produce dopamine, which controls movement and function. As the amount of dopamine decreases, it leaves the person with the inability to control movement normally. TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and acupuncture are great tools to use in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease symptoms. One of the research studies done showed dramatic improvement in the levels of fatigue allowing patients to go back to activities that they haven’t done for awhile. Another study showed significant improvement in balance and gait. Acupuncture stimulation is shown to also activate neural responses in the substantia nigra, caudate, thalamus and putamen. These are only a few examples of how research is demonstrating the effectiveness of acupuncture for Parkinson’s disease. Acupuncture and TCM are gentle drug-free tools to aid in your fight against Parkinson’s disease. At Mysko Acupuncture Clinic, we provide treatments based upon current research and also what an individual is needing at that time. For more information, please contact us.
Ask the Expert Audiology I don’t have a hearing problem. Why should I get a hearing test? There may be nothing wrong with your hearing, but just as you make it a point to get your eyes checked, you should get your hearing tested as well, (annually if you are over 60.)

While you’ve taken an interest in your hearing, why not be a part of the Campaign for Better Hearing? The campaign’s Give-Back program raises hearing awareness and encourages everyone to test their ears at 60 years.

Litigation: What do you have to prove? Litigation is a fancy way of saying taking legal action in Court. The Canadian court system is adversarial, meaning the two parties, or litigants, present their cases in front of an impartial person (a Judge), who attempts to determine the truth of the matter and pass judgment accordingly. In criminal litigation, the prosecutor and defence present their cases to determine the guilt or innocence of a person accused of a crime. Canadian law considers any person accused of a crime innocent until he or she is proven guilty. At trial, the prosecutor must show the Accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. This means the prosecutor must present evidence to establish that the Accused committed the crime, and after hearing this evidence, the Judge does not have any doubt about the fact that the Accused is guilty. If the Judge has a doubt about the Accused’s guilt, and the doubt is reasonable in the circumstances of the case, the Accused cannot be convicted of the crime. In civil litigation, the litigants present their cases to determine if the Judge will give the applicant (or Plaintiff) what he or she is asking for. The litigant asking for the remedy is the one who is responsible for proving that he or she should get it. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt does not apply in civil litigation. Instead, a Plaintiff must prove his or her case on a balance of probabilities. This means the Plaintiff must show it is more likely than not that what he or she says happened to cause a loss actually occured. In another way of putting it, the Plaintiff must establish that it is at least 51% likely that his or her account of events is correct. The Plaintiff will not succeed with a claim if he or she cannot reach this threshold. Share your stories with us by email. We want to hear from you!

CELLULITE – WHAT IS IT AND HOW CAN WE MAKE IT LESS NOTICEABLE? Cellulite appears as a dimply texture on the skin. It can be an unsightly skin imperfection that affects the buttocks, hips and legs. This unsightly imperfection is caused by an accumulation of fat deposits in the connective tissues. The skin puckers when the fatty deposits push up against the connective tissues underneath the epidermis. Like anything else we can control certain factors and others we cannot. There are several factors contributing to the formation of cellulite including genetics, hormones, nutrition, stress and lifestyle. We may not be able to control our genetics but we can certainly control our hormones, nutrition, stress and lifestyle. It is the hormonal changes in estrogen and insulin that play a part in contributing to the cottage cheese like texture on our bodies. Poor nutrition, fats, high glycemic foods, and a lack of fibre are a recipe for production of cellulite. Our bodies may have increased levels of catecholamides which may contribute to the development of cellulite when we are stressed. Catecholamides are classified as amines which are a group of neurotransmitters which include epinephrine and dopamine. If you lead an inactive lifestyle where you are standing or sitting in one spot for prolonged periods of time you may experience the accumulation of cellulite. Smoking can also affect circulation and is thought to contribute. The TBT Contour Wrap which uses a natural clay solution can help reduce the appearance of cellulite. The toxins in your body are drawn into the bandages from the fluid that surrounds the fat cells creating immediate inch loss. This also tightens and compacts the skin smoothing out the bumps and leaving your skin feeling silky. If you couple the wrap with good nutrition, an active lifestyle and reduced stress levels you are sure to be on your way. Call Active Wellness Solutions today and ask how we can help you today.

Mount and retain permits CONSERVATION CORNER Lindsey Leko
I
‘ve wanted to tackle the topic of wildlife mount and retain permits for quite some time. Mount and retain permits are issued for wildlife species that someone may wish to keep and have mounted. The mount can be prepared by themselves or a taxidermist. Provincial wildlife species, legally taken under a licence, can be retained and mounted without the requirement of a separate permit. Examples of wildlife species that may be retained and mounted without a special permit include: upland game birds, waterfowl, fur bearers and big game species such as deer, moose, elk and bear. An animal or bird that was found dead or accidentally killed does require a separate permit to allow possession. Ministry of Environment offices are often visited by people who, while walking their dog, came across a dead deer with a nice set of antlers, or who found a road killed moose, or picked up an owl lying on the side of the highway. In situations like these, the individual must contact the nearest Ministry of Environment office within seven days. The individual must provide information regarding the species of wildlife, where it was found and how it died. If the person wishes to retain the animal, an inspection by a conservation officer may be required. If the individual is allowed to keep the wildlife, a permit to possess the wildlife will be issued. In cases where the
intention is to have the animal mounted by a taxidermist, a mount and retain permit is required which carries a small fee. There are wildlife species for which permits will not be issued. They include endangered species such as; the whooping crane, peregrine falcon and black-tailed prairie dog to name a few. Permit requests for migratory birds found dead and not taken under a hunting licence must be directed to the Canadian Wildlife Service in Saskatoon. It should be noted that rarely are mount and retain permits issued for migratory birds that were not taken under a licence. One exception may be for instances where the wildlife mount will be on public display. So, what is the process, and why is a permit required? Our goal is to provide legitimate uses for dead wildlife found by the public, while at the same time protecting wildlife from unlawful harvest, possession and trafficking. There are people out there who may illegally shoot a trophy deer or kill an owl and then claim they found the animal and attempt to obtain a permit. The bottom line is that if you are in possession of any protected species of wildlife in Saskatchewan you must either have a licence for that species, or a permit to possess it. This permit requirement does not extend to unprotected species such as raccoon, ground squirrels or snowshoe hares. Section four of the Saskatchewan Wildlife
Mom will be all over you, Dad Well...she will!
LloydMall 780.875.0203
Regulations lists the unprotected species. Legitimate use of the animal may come in many forms ranging from mounting the animal for personal or educational use, retaining the carcass for dog food or trapping bait, or in some cases salvaging the meat for human consumption. The best way to explain the process would be to use this common scenario. You are driving down the highway and find a dead mule deer that was obviously hit by a vehicle. The animal has a nice set of antlers. You wish to retain the antlers for your own use.
The first step is to take photos of the scene. Many of us have cell phones, so I suggest taking photos of the animal showing the antlers and proof that it was killed by a passing vehicle. Make sure that you record the date, time, location and the names of anyone with you when you found it. You can then remove the antlers or the head, at which point you have seven days to report that to your local conservation officer. As I mentioned earlier, our main concern is that we are confident that the animal died of accidental means and was not taken in contravention of
the regulations. In cases where the cause of death is unknown or suspicious, the permit application may be denied. The next steps include presenting the antlers to a conservation officer for inspection and the compilation of a Statutory Declaration in which you will record the pertinent information. If all is in order upon the payment of a nominal fee ($10, plus GST), you will be issued a permit authorizing the possession of the antlers for personal use only. This permit should be retained permanently. The permit number will be required by a taxidermist if you wish
to have the antlers mounted. Sale of the antlers will not be allowed. The permit allows you to keep the said wildlife species for your own use only. Not to be sold, traded or bartered in anyway. If a person finds a dead hawk or owl and wishes to have the bird mounted, a similar process is required with a few additional requirements. If the cause of death is undetermined after the inspection, the conservation officer may require an x-ray to confirm the bird had not been shot. This cost is paid by the person interested in the bird and is not refunded.

Midnight tales of beaver battles PRAIRIE WOOL HELEN ROW TOEWS
S
ome of my best friends have been beavers. If you’re now shaking your head in bewilderment at this bizarre revelation, I’m not surprised. It’s a strange admission to make, but I’ve always had quite a soft spot for the furry rodent. As a kid I’d perch on a huge log that had fallen across one end of their pond west of the house, and I’d read or write in the good company of a few ducks, a muskrat or two and the hidden beavers. Leaning my back against an old black poplar, I’d dangle my feet over the water and while away the hours. They weren’t out during the daylight hours of course, but I knew they were there; waiting for twilight. I watched them go about their work a lot back then, and they grew used to me, after a fashion; only casting me the occasional mistrustful glance as they came ashore for food. My warm fuzzy feelings towards them have been sorely tried however. During the last 15 years we’ve seen several young beavers move into the neighbourhood. They have some crazed notion they can turn a shallow creek bed into a thriving waterhole, and raise a happy family 20-ft from my back door. I would have no objection to their close proximity except they plug the culverts and build complicated dams
causing the creek to back up and flood. Two years in a row the water rose so high our bridge parted company from its moorings and floated off downstream. Crossing over it required a long pole to navigate, rubber boots, and gumption. It’s a bit unsettling to clamber onto a bridge that immediately drifts away from shore towards the open sea (slight exaggeration for effect). To reach the other side of the water it was necessary to take a hard run at the bridge, leap aboard, and shoot across while balancing as though riding an enormous surfboard. While fun for kids, and those of us with an adventurous spirit, the laughs wore thin—fast. Another year, when my daughter Becky still lived at home, the busy rodents again made terrible pests of themselves. In order to construct bigger and better dams, they began to select choice young saplings from my yard. How maddening is that? Constructing a dam at the edge of my property was bad enough, but to use my own trees for the job—inexcusable! One night Becky lay in bed listening to frogs croaking outside her window. It was a warm summer evening and a fresh breeze wafted across her pillow as she slowly drifted off to sleep. Suddenly, a strange noise broke into her slumber. It sounded for all the world like— gnawing. Leaping up, she peered out her window into the darkness, straining
WE HEAR YOU GNAWING, BUT YOU CAN’T COME IN Remember that time your daughter got into a tug of war with a persistent beaver? Us either, but Helen does. her eyes to see what was happening on the lawn. It was close, just a few yards away, and Becky listened as a resounding crash filled the air. “Oh no you don’t!” she muttered grimly as she slid on her boots and stole out the side door. Moonlight spilled through a plum tree close to the creek and once her eyes adjusted, she could see the toothy little culprit dragging his spoils towards the water’s edge. Sprinting across the lawn she laid hold of the opposite end, fumbling for something sturdy to hang on to in the thin branches at the top. The critter had to have known she was there, but wasn’t about to give up
his prize. Throwing a shoulder under it, claws gripping the soft ground at water’s edge, he bore down and began slowly making headway. What a sight it must have been! A determined, buck-toothed beaver straining with all his might at one end of the tree, and an equally determined girl in a flowery nightgown and Wellingtons digging in on the other. Resting peacefully in my bed at the other end of the house, I had no idea my young daughter was battling a brawny beaver in the backyard. Yes, we’ve had some battles with them here on the farm, but I like beavers nevertheless.

”

SANDRA L. BROWN
A freshly scented breeze brings with it promises of spring’s longawaited arrival as songbirds melodically greet a sunshiny day. Flying overhead, geese noisily announce their return, anticipating the warmer weather to come. The arrival of spring in April 1938 began abruptly with a raging blizzard which swept over the Prairies lasting for several days. Drifts from five to 10-feet deep were piled up high against the store fronts, leaving Lloydminster streets with a sub-polar appearance. There was a lot of shoveling to be done and teams of horses helped to clear the streets. Well-known for his beautiful displays of home-grown flowers, the president of the local Horticultural Society lost his entire greenhouse to a rampant fire. Estimated at a loss of $100,000, its cause was not determined. The operator at the central telephone office had extreme difficulty in sounding the alarm as the siren was clogged with snow from the blizzard. Mr. Brown announced his determination to rebuild. Apparently the blizzard did not affect—or perhaps it did— one of Mr. A. Jenkins’ White Leghorns. Reportedly, an egg which measured 9.5 by 7.5-in. and weighing more than four ounces was laid. It contained three yolks. The catchy newspaper headline was, “Can you beat it?” With winter making its temporary reappearance, the
covered ice rink was reopened after being closed for three weeks. This made skating in April somewhat of a Lloydminster record. The Miller Hardware store was given permission to extend the closing date of their paint sale because of the blizzard. Despite the postponement of organizational meetings and social events, folks stayed optimistic. Meetings for the tennis and baseball clubs were rescheduled. Golfers anticipated setting up a new golf course at the Exhibition Grounds. Folks were encouraged to look their best for the many community celebrations. New spring frocks, smart suits and hats were advertised. Bakeries encouraged early orders of their freshly baked hot cross buns. Stores advertised Easter goodies ranging from chocolate eggs, toy novelties, boxes of Moir’s fresh chocolates and a complete line of greeting cards. With promises of “service with a smile,” special prices and home delivery; grocery stores advertised all the perfect ingredients for making a special Easter meal. By today’s standards, these prices sound so inexpensive; a 20-lb sack of rolled oats for 97 cents, two dozen eggs for 25 cents, two heads of lettuce for 23 cents, a seven pound sack of salt for 17 cents, five pounds of fresh brown sugar for 35 cents and two pounds of Red Rose coffee for 59 cents. Also advertised at two packages for 23 cents was the new Kelloggs All Wheat cereal for “both kiddies and grownups.” This was during the days when cereal came with a toy, in
Pedestrian Detection* The way you imagine it
this case an airplane model. For the Easter holidays, the Canadian Pacific railway offered reduced fares between all stations. Travellers could enjoy a round-trip for the price of a one way fare and an additional 25 cents. Churches invited worshipers to attend early for song services and communion as seating was limited. Sponsored by the energetic Kinsmen Club, the social event of the season was held on Easter Monday, April 18th at the Alberta Hall. The fashion parade started at 9:30 p.m. with dancing until 2:30 am. The Edmonton Red Jackets, a talented group of musicians renowned for their sound effects and vocalists, performed to a crowd of holiday dancers in the festively decorated hall. The dance program included moonlight waltzes, spotlight and balloon dances. Decorative hats and noisemakers added to the fun filled merriment. In anticipation of spring planting, a variety of garden seeds including the popular Pike and McKenzie brands were available for purchase or by mail order. The Western Producer offered 15 packages of garden seeds free with a new or renewed subscription to the well-liked publication. Personally, as April arrives I’m weary of experiencing first-hand what it feels like to live in a snow globe with its sparkling crystals. We all crave the warmth and promise of spring. But, let’s face it, prairie folks are hardy and we’ve been well conditioned to never put our snow shovels away until at least June.

Border City boxers enter the ring JAMIE HARKINS SPORTS EDITOR
The Lloydminster Boxing Club has just been reborn and it’s already producing quality fighters. Koby Shorter beat the Jaguar Boxing Club’s Damon Keshane to win the Junior B 140-pound weight-class title in the Battle for the Belt competition at Regina’s Orr Centre on April 1. Shorter earned the double eightcount victory in his first amateur boxing match. “The first few fights that I watched I was a little bit nervous, but after seeing my competitor my nerves calmed,” said Shorter, 14. “When I got in the ring it was basically like tunnel vision. I couldn’t see anything or think about anything outside the ring.”
Two Lloydminster Boxing Club fighters joined Shorter in the Battle for the Belt event. Emile Smith, a 17-year-old junior boxer, moved up a class to take on adult-aged heavyweight competitor Jess Belinski in an exhibition match, while nine-year-old Gavin Heise fought Jaden Gordon for the card’s sole Funbox bout. “I did really well,” said Heise, noting he’s been hooked on the sport since his dad asked him to give it a chance a few months ago. Lloydminster Boxing Club owner and coach Devon Burgess said Funbox is a new event for competitors aged 10 and under who were previously not allowed to box under Canadian Amateur Boxing Association rules. He said they’re
4x4
one of the first clubs in the country to take advantage of the new division that emphasizes safety and sportsmanship over wins and losses. Burgess said the Lloydminster Boxing Club has about 30 adult members and 15 to 20 kids registered for its non-competitive, which does not include contact or sparring, and competitive programs. He noted that positive response to the sport since the club opened its doors in mid-January has been incredible. “Gord Blanchard used to own the boxing club,” said Burgess, who trained under ‘Butch’ Blanchard before joining the elite Saskatchewan First amateur boxing team. “It didn’t have the turnout that we have right
now because back in the day there wasn’t the advertising, Internet and Facebook and stuff, like there is now. So, just lack of people coming down it folded up. Gordon passed away too and he isn’t around anymore. We figured we’d start this back up and give the kids something to do just as he did when I was young.” Shorter said he joined the club soon after its startup in an attempt to focus his energy toward a more positive outlet than what he was getting into. He said the three-a-week competitive workouts that include sparring, hitting heavy bags and spot gloves as well as the heavy calisthenics work he puts in will hopefully help him earn a spot on the
provincial team by the end of the year. Burgess said the club holds three workout sessions a week, but the doors will always be open to fighters like Shorter who may need more training. He said they want to give all their competitive boxers an opportunity to excel in the ring and will soon head back on the road for more events to accomplish that goal. “There is a competition for new fighters in Cranbrook at the end of the month and I think we’re going to attend that with probably 10 guys and a couple of girls,” said Burgess. “There is a competition in Regina next month we’re going to attend as well, so we’re going to try to attend as many competitions as we can.”

Barons and Raiders off to badminton zones JAMIE HARKINS SPORTS EDITOR
The Border City will be well represented in the Alberta Schools’ Athletic Association (ASAA) senior badminton zone championships at Lac La Biche later this month. The Lloydminster Comprehensive High School (LCHS) Barons will send 15 athletes to the April 26 tournament, while the Holy Rosary High School (HRHS) Raiders qualified nine competitors. Each of these individuals earned the berth by capturing a gold or silver medal in their respective event at the District 2 championships played at LCHS and HRHS on Tuesday. “It’s my third year in a row going and being a Grade 12, it means a lot to go again,” said Barons badminton player Luther Jurke, who beat fellow Baron Jhon Paul Ubaldo in the senior boys singles final to capture the gold medal. Darren MacCarthy, coach of the Barons, said six of its athletes qualified for the provincial championships out of zones last year and the hope is they can match or improve on that mark this spring. He said whether that happens or not is now all up to the players. “We’re going now as the district team, still competing individually for our school, but we’re also representing District 2 in the northeast zone,” said Raiders coach Jason Almond. “We’ll be competing against four other districts to try to get a (top two) spot and

earn a berth in provincials.” Almond said they have as good a shot as anyone to secure a match at the ASAA championships at Red Deer on May 5 and 6. He said the kids just have to play well, stay clear of any costly mistakes and compete at the level they’re capable of. Jurke said his goal is to get back to the provincial championships after earning a top-two spot in zones and an eighth place showing at the ASAA finals last year. Ubaldo added he wants a medal finish too, but just having the chance to experience the competition should be incredible. “It’s my first time,” said Ubaldo, “so I just want to have fun and enjoy it.” The top-two athletes, in order of placement, at the District 2 finals to earn ASAA zone championship berths are: Kristin Peever (Kitscoty High School), Dianne

Rustlers battle best
JAMIE HARKINS SPORTS EDITOR
The Lloydminster Rustlers under-17 volleyball club’s drive toward a provincial medal ended just short of its target. The Rustlers fell 25-19, 22-25, 15-10 to the Saskatoon HVC Howlers in the bronze medal game of the 2017 17U Women’s Conexus Provincial Volleyball Championships at the Saskatoon Kinsmen/ Henk Ruys Soccer Centre on Sunday. The Howlers jumped ahead early in the third set and carried an 8-4 lead into the turn before holding on for the five point win. “It was very back and forth,” said Rustlers manager Diane Gow. “They didn’t blow us out of the water, which we were very happy about. The girls played well all weekend and we’re very happy with the results. Of course, we’re disappointed in not medalling because that’s always the goal.” The Rustlers squad of Emma Stephens, Sarah Osika, Tyrell Muskego, Renzelle Horner, Sydnie Wright, Amanda Curnew, LiseAnne Connolly, Soleil Gow, Devry Elliott, Tressa Weaver, Kiana Walker, Ally Robinson and Emily Armstrong entered the provincial finals as the sixth seed in Division 1 play.

17/18U Sask Cup No. 1 on Feb. 5, fourth in Tier 1 at Sask Cup No. 2 about three weeks later and finally fifth in Tier 1 at Sask Cup No. 3 on March 26. Gow said the team accomplished this feat despite a height disadvantage against most of their competition and the fact the Rustlers draw players from a much smaller base compared to the larger centres of Saskatoon and Regina. She said to combat this, Rustlers coach William Gow instituted a system of play focused on defence such as aggressive work at the net
including blocking and hitting off their opponent’s blocks as well as a strong back court. “They ran five offensive and three defensive positions because he’s trying to develop them for higher competition,” said Gow. “He wants to develop the girls to ensure that they do well in high school. They think about playing in college and university and beyond.” The Rustlers started the provincial championships with wins against the Oxbow Black Knights and Muenster VC before dropping a two-set
decision to the Saskatoon Smash in their final roundrobin game. The team then notched a 26-24, 25-16 win versus the Saskatoon JCVC Chaos and a 25-17, 25-20 loss to the Prince Albert Optimist Toppers En Fuego in their first two playoff games, which placed them in the bronze medal final. “Entering provincials we were seeded sixth and we ended up fourth, so we moved up two spots,” said Gow. “We were very happy with the results. Our girls exceeded our expectations for sure this year.”

JAMIE HARKINS SPORTS EDITOR
The Midwest Mavericks regional roller derby team is here to help the game flourish. Mallory ‘Malkyrie’ Clarkson, a co-founder, trainer and player for the Mavericks, said the team will contest their first game of the 2017 season on April 29 in Swift Current against the Redneck Betties. She said the secondyear club that consists of players from rinks in Battlefords, Cold Lake, Kindersley, Wainwright and Lloydminster will use that early tune-up to get ready for their first major challenge in the 12-team Flat Track Fever tournament at Calgary’s Acadia Recreation Complex from May 26 to 28. “It’s pretty exciting
for a second-year team to be able to play at that level,” said Clarkson. “Last year was a pilot year, so we did play Edmonton (E-Ville Roller Derby) a couple of times and we did pretty well against them. This year we’re just looking to grow a bit bigger, really hone in some of our skills through our training processes and move forward from there.” Sixteen skaters, including the Border City’s Whammy T and Divine Intervention as well as development players Bonny Mayhem and Chelle Shock, made the Mavericks team through its tryout camp in February. These competitors practise with the A-level squad once a month at rinks spread out among the region, while also
maintaining a commitment to their local teams in terms of practice time and participation in the club’s events. Clarkson said the Mavericks were created a couple of years ago as a way to help improve the game of derby in the region, while also giving its more advanced skaters a level of play between their home leagues and the provincial team. She said the hope is this season will prove a springboard toward that goal. “If we can continue to strengthen derby in the region and keep the senior skaters engaged with higher calibre (play) and keep seeing improvements, my expectations will be blown,” she said. “That would be the perfect end to a season.”
Roller derby is the real deal SPORTS EDITOR JAMIE HARKINS
Is roller derby fake? Well actually no, it isn’t. The game of derby can be compared to hockey, football and any other established contact sport in terms of its competitiveness between willing combatants and its physical and mental demands. While working on a few stories this week involving the Midwest Mavericks regional roller team and the Border City Roller Derby League’s Angels of Assault and Lloydmonsters, I witnessed a group of women giving their all to become better derby players as well as more forceful skaters. But when I mentioned the possible stories at an editorial meeting beforehand, I was asked if I understood that roller derby was actually fake. The sport did have its less-thanhonourable heyday in the late 20th century when it became sports enter-
tainment based more on theatrics and larger-than-life characters. Fortunately, that try to be the next World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) spin-off folded. In its place rose a grassroots organization of women dedicated to competition, empowerment and healthy lifestyles. As a fun aside to celebrate the past, the girls and their coaches kept the spirit of those WWE-like days through incorporating its colourful image of wild names and personas, including the Lloydminster-area monikers of Beta Blocker and Leebone Capone. The Angels of Assault and Lloydmonsters will host the Border City Roller Derby League invitational tournament at Kitscoty Arena on May 6 where three scrimmages will be played. As of this writing, the Monsters start things off at 3:30 p.m. with the Angels following suit at 5:30 p.m. and the Mavericks completing the action at 7:30 p.m. Anyone looking for a fun, competitive and action-filled night should definitely make the trip to cheer on their hometown derby heroes.

Stingrays cool under pressure
JAMIE HARKINS SPORTS EDITOR
The pressure of competing in a provincial championship can either help or harm a team’s chances at a medal. The Border City Stingrays synchronized swimming club aged 16-18 team of Paige Dembicki, Haley Wickham-Cross, McKenna Campbell, Khyler Yockey and Kallie Lumbard captured a gold medal at the 2017 Sadie Caulder Knight provincial championships at Regina’s Lawson Aquatic Centre on April 2, by tuning out that desire to be the top club and letting their opponent worry about the final result. “We wouldn’t have cared had we gotten second place,” said Yockey. “We made it just about enjoying it. I think the other team made it about winning, whereas we made it about just doing our routine the best.” The Stingrays team beat the Weyburn Synchro Stars at provincials with a Michael Jackson inspired routine

they have been perfecting since September. She said coach Lynn Kvill chose the songs, but they all feel the selection worked well in giving the routine a solid beat. “I was surprised we got first place,” added Campbell, noting they
practise three times a week at the Bioclean Aquatic Centre on both their individual or figures performance, and their team routine. “Our figure marks were higher than we usually get and that goes toward our mark in our routine.”
Wickham-Cross said swimming competitively with the Stingrays allows her team to demonstrate to the audience, judges and their opponents the talent that exists in the club. The aged 16-18 team and their peers in the Stingrays enjoyed a
chance to do just that in the club’s final showcase before a packed audience of fans at their home pool on Sunday evening. “It was just showing them what we’re capable of,” noted Lumbard, “and how hard we work.”

Grain transportation changes must benefit producers: Sask. coalition With changes to federal rail service legislation and the Canada Transportation Act (CTA) expected soon, a coalition of Saskatchewan producer groups visited federal officials in Ottawa last week to ensure farmer voices are being heard. The producer coalition, which includes the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (Sask Wheat), the Saskatchewan Barley Development Commission (SaskBarley) and the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS), met with officials with Transport Canada and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), as well as several Members of Parliament. The message the coalition brought to Ottawa was simple: Any changes to the transportation system must benefit Prairie grain producers. “Saskatchewan producers depend on an affordable and reliable grain transportation as an essential service,” said APAS president Todd Lewis. “We do not have alternatives
for shipping our crops to export markets, so we need to ensure that the federal government understands our needs.” The coalition has been vocal about grain handling and transport, continually meeting with federal officials and commissioning several academic studies, which showed western Canadian producers have lost billions of dollars since 2013 due to a lack of rail and port capacity. In a 2014 submission to the CTA review committee, the producer coalition recommended that the Maximum Revenue Entitlement (MRE) be maintained, that a full railway costing review be conducted before any MRE adjustments are considered, and that the CTA create a rail oversight group, that includes agricultural producer representation, to assess ongoing operations of the railways. “Effecting long-term policy change can be a slow process, but trips such as this one are part of the necessary steps,” says Jason Skotheim, SaskBar-
ley board chair. “One of our top priorities at SaskBarley is acting as an advocate for Saskatchewan farmers at a national level,” he said. By meeting with federal government officials on trips such as this one, we get the unique opportunity to bring our concerns to key decision makers face-to-face.” “It is important that the producer voice is heard and that we have shipping price protection from the railways in any revised legislation,” adds Sask Wheat chair Bill Gehl. “Sask Wheat has been to Ottawa twice since February emphasizing the need for transportation policy that encourages maximum grain shipments and works for shippers, railways and producers,” he said. “The MRE guarantees a fair return for railways while protecting farmers from undue railway power. “We need this to be maintained and other mechanisms built in to improve export volumes and, ultimately, the profitability of our farms.”

Legislation to re-empower agricultural commissions The Alberta government is supporting agricultural commissions by giving producers more autonomy to choose which service-charge model works best for their industry. The Marketing of Agricultural Products Amendment Act 2017 was tabled in the legislature today. Amendments to the act would give each commission the ability to determine whether their service charges, also known as “check-offs,” should be refundable or non-refundable. Service charges are collected when an agricultural product is sold, or it is
a base charge to each member of the commission. “With this amendment, government would restore autonomy to agricultural commissions and their members. We want them to have the power to determine their own service-charge model, because a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach doesn’t make sense in today’s diverse agriculture,” said Oneil Carlier, minister of Agriculture and Forestry Legislative changes in 2009 made all commission service charges refundable and Alberta became the only jurisdiction in Canada with mandatory refundable

service charges. Under the proposed amendments, members could change their commission’s service-charge model through a plebiscite. Marketing of Agricultural Products Act (MAPA) MAPA was established in 1965. It enables producers to create agricultural commissions, provide services and help regulate sectors within the agricultural industry. Commissions use service charges to fund operations and activities that benefit their industries, such as product marketing and promotion, trade missions and support for research. Before 2009, agricultural commissions
had the option of refundable or nonrefundable service charges. In 2009, MAPA was amended to require all commissions to issue refunds of their service charges at the request of any producer members. The 2009 amendment specifically applied the mandatory refunds to the commissions for beef, lamb, potatoes and pork, which previously had non-refundable models. MAPA also governs the Alberta Agricultural Products Marketing Council, the provincial agency that oversees the operations of marketing boards and commissions, administers regulations under MAPA and provides advice to government.
Kitscoty 4-H Beef Club report by: Justine Eddleston, Club Reporter
T
he Kitscoty 4-H Beef Club is getting close to the end of its year! Since February, we have hosted our club communications day on Feb. 19 and everyone did very well. Teagan King won the junior member age group; Luke Wennekamp won the intermediate; and Justine Eddleston won the senior group. Zack Labiuk did a presentation in the junior
level, which is another option if a member doesn’t want to do a speech. The three speech winners moved on to districts in Vermillion on Feb. 25. Zack wasn’t able to go with his presentation. The three of them all did very well and Luke placed second in the intermediates. Also on Feb. 19, the Vermilion River District hosted a 4-H dance at the Marwayne hall. A few members from our club attended and

really enjoyed it. The dance was fun for everyone of all ages and the district may make the dance an annual event. District curling was on March 25 and, as always, the members who went had a lot of fun. Junior member Thomas Bogucky was on the winning team and has his name on the trophy for two years in a row now. On March 28 in Vermilion, there was a regional beef information night. This was an opportunity for beef members to come learn about different areas in the cattle industry. It was very informative and interesting and each family came home with a nice, and very useful, goodie bag from the UFA. On March 31 and April 1 members washed dishes at the Kitscoty Dinner Theatre as part of their community volunteering. The best part is that we all get to enjoy supper after the guests have eaten. We are also in the middle of our second fundraiser of the year selling spring flower baskets. They will be ready for delivery just in time for Mother’s Day! There is only a couple months left in our 4-H year so we will be busy getting ready for our Achievement Day on June 3.

Price versus value MIDWEST MINUTE VERN McCLELLAND
O
ne prominent western Canadian businessman was well known for buying property that sat next to his holdings whenever the opportunity presented itself. He often paid more than current market values would indicate the land was worth, so one day his senior management team challenged his thinking. “I have two reasons” he said, “the first is owning the land on our borders allows us to control what it will be used for so we can chart our future, expanding or diversifying its use for our own profit. “The second is, even if we pay a premium, it actually drives up the value of the properties we already own!” Wise judgment, and one often used by other successful businesspersons, including farmers, when considering whether to purchase a property or not. A buyer’s goal is to always pay a price that’s reasonable; perceived value is what he gets. In reality, commercial real estate transactions have little to do with comparable sales. The buyer isn’t purchasing a property, he or she is pursuing a business strategy. Highest and best use of a specific parcel is shaped by the competitive forces within the marketplace where the property is located. For example, a site seen by thousands of potential customers each day will naturally attract more
business activity than one that’s out of the way or hard to access. So, when an experienced business owner comes to town, a Realtor must first seek to understand what the client believes the ideal location to be. And not just what’s currently available for sale, but what may be sourced with some digging. This is where local market knowledge is invaluable, plus the ability to get landowners to discuss their future plans with you. A few years ago, a developer asked me to approach an aging couple to discuss a potential sale of their farmland perched on the edge of a growing community. They graciously invited me in to their home and over the course of several visits we discussed options assisted by generous servings of hot coffee and freshly baked cookies.
I helped them obtain independent advice on current market value by recommending a trusted appraiser, and I met with both their accountant and their lawyer to discuss capital gains. We even convened a meeting one Saturday with the two adult children and their husbands to review the proposed plan with them. The owners knew there wasn’t going to be a succession of the farm to the next generation, but wanted everyone to understand the process and approve the goals. One quarter, several miles away from the home place, was sold to a neighbouring ranch family at less than appraised value. The young couple had always helped the owner when he needed an extra hand, spring and fall. Three-quarters of the four that made up the home section were
17042MF0
purchased by my client at appraised value, but were rented back to the farmer for three years at a reasonable rate to allow time to plan the exit. When that expired and after an equipment auction, the home place was placed on MLS and sold. The couple retired to the community their children and grandchildren lived in. Last I heard, they had not only made that transition successfully but also were spending some of the winter months in the southern states. I still get a Christmas card, but I miss the coffee, cookies, and conversation! Vern McClelland is an associate broker with RE/MAX of Lloydminster.

Is mould affecting your home and health?
By: Scott McGillivray
(NC) All homes can be susceptible to mould growth. In fact, mould could be present without you even realizing it. Exposure can cause an array of health issues from coughing, wheezing, headache and nausea to nasal stuffiness, sore throat, skin irritation, fatigue and more. Virtually anywhere can be a breeding ground for mould, as long as there’s air, moisture, organic material (a food source) and adequate temperatures––between 40˚F (5˚C) and 104˚F (40˚C). It’s most commonly found in areas where moisture levels tend to be
higher, like basements, kitchens, bathrooms or near water leaks in roofs, attics, walls, and pipes. Identifying a mould problem can be a challenge, because mold can grow in hidden areas such as behind walls. Signs include discoloration of indoor surfaces, dark spots or patches. Musty odours can also be an indication that harmful mould is present. Swift action is necessary to ensure your health and prevent mould from damaging your home. Start by containing it, then begin remediation. Resolving small amounts of surface mould can be a simple to moderate DIY project, but large areas should be left to professionals. Finally, take
preventative measures to keep mould away for good. Several mould prevention strategies can safeguard your home and health. When building, renovating or remediating an existing mould issue, it’s wise to carefully consider building materials, especially within your wall assembly, which is a common area for mould growth. Certain types of insulation are especially vulnerable. Only use insulation with high drying potential, made from inorganic material that will not promote the growth of mould when exposed to moisture. Always be sure to immediately dry
any areas in your home that get wet. Prevent moisture with proper ventilation. Monitor indoor humidity, aiming for 30 to 50 per cent. Direct water away from your home and its foundation. Keep gutters clear and stay on top of roof maintenance and repairs. Improve air flow in your home. Finally, inspect your home regularly to ensure your family breathes easy.

End of interview—what next? WORKING WISE CHARLES STRACHEY
Dear Working Wise: I’ve gone to a few job interviews lately and I have not been sure what to say when the interviewers ask me if I have any questions. Should I have any questions? Do you have any suggestions? Signed, Unsure Dear Unsure: Many interviewers will ask you near the end of the interview if you have any questions. If you say no, you are missing an opportunity to: 1. Make a positive impression on the employer; 2. Decide if this job is a good fit for you; 3. Use the information to summarize why you’re the best candidate for the job. Research the company and the position before the interview and write a list of two or three questions. Coming to the interview with questions shows the employer that you are serious about the position and confident enough to ask questions. Questions you might want to ask: • What are the organization’s biggest challenges? • How would the person in this position be involved in meeting these challenges? • What are the company’s longrange plans? • How would you describe the ideal candidate? • What immediate tasks will the successful candidate be working on? • What skills do you think are most critical to success in this role? • What do employees enjoy most about working here?
YES YOU SHOULD ASK QUESTIONS Charles says to use the time at the end of an interview to ask more about the job—and to make the most of the time you have to convince the employer you’re the right person for the job. • How is success measured in this company? • How would you describe the culture of this organization? These types of questions demonstrate your interest in the position and the answers will help tell you which of your strengths you should mention at the closing of the interview. Bring a pen and pad of paper to the interview and take notes on anything you want to ask about later in the interview. When the employer invites you to ask questions, quickly review your list and ask questions that haven’t already been answered or need
clarity. Ask your most important questions first and pay attention to the interviewer’s non-verbal cues after each question to ensure they are comfortable being asked another question. Listen carefully to what the interviewer has to say and take notes. Use what you have learned during the interview to create a short summary of your most relevant skills and qualifications. At the end of your interview, restate your interest in the position along with a summary of your key skills that show you would be a great fit. Experts usually recommend not asking about salary unless the
employer mentions it first. You want the employer to know that you are most interested in how you can benefit the organization. Waiting until you have a job offer also puts you in a stronger bargaining position. For more tips on job interviews, visit the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) web site at alis. alberta.ca. Good luck in your next interview! Do you have a work-related question?

MARQUARDT: George Albert Marquardt was born in Unity, Saskatchewan on August 28, 1920 to William (from Wisconsin) and Caroline (from Belgium) Marquardt.

Some people never learn, Capricorn. Save your breath for what you can change. The nest egg grows with a windfall and careful spending.
By George, Taurus, you’ve got it! Months of diligence finally pay off, and you have the solution everyone has been seeking. Celebrate with a night out.
Love it or leave it, Virgo. There is no middle ground on this one. You’re either in, or you’re out. A persistent money matter is cleared up.

Get ready to mix it up, Aquarius. There will be a lot of different things on the agenda this week. A friend refuses to compromise, halting progress.
Your finances have taken a real beating as of late, but that is all about to change with a new source of revenue. Feel the stress ease away, Gemini.
No, no, no! You must not take on other people’s problems. You have neither the resources nor the time. You can’t be a crutch forever, Libra.

Wait a minute, Pisces. You’ve been through this before. Why are you taking the same approach when clearly there is a better choice? Why indeed?
Conservation is never a bad idea, so when given the chance, do it, Cancer. Trade some bad habits for new ones, and set up a recycling center at home.
Choose, Scorpio, just choose. Your indecision is creating frustration at all levels. Review the pros and the cons again if you must and then choose.

LEO July 23 – August 22
SAGITTARIUS
March 21– April 19 Victory will be yours this week, as a decision is made in your favor. Don’t gloat, Aries. You might not be so lucky next time. Reservations are made.
You can run, but you can’t hide. Confront the situation head on, Leo. A loved one makes a grave error at an event. Do what you can to patch things up.
