Thorpe garden opens, phase II next GEOFF LEE
WRITER
.................................. Thorpe Recovery Centre has opened its therapeutic Serenity Garden, but there’s more to come. A campaign is underway to raise an additional $50,000 towards a phase II expansion following the official opening of the on-site garden and a 1-kilometre walking trail on July 28. Thorpe’s CEO, Teressa Krueckl, shared news of the expansion with a crowd of supporters, program clients and invited dignitaries on hand for a brief ceremony. “The plans will include a three-season gazebo, a bridge over the ponds, extending the paths, garden beds and markers along the pathways and, of course, the purchase of picnic tables and benches and that kind of stuff,” said Krueckl. The Serenity Garden will allow people taking part in Thorpe’s addiction treatment services to have an outdoor space to relax
and reflect. The open garden features a fire pit and seating area, a patio with a water fountain, two ponds and a walkway, and lots of plants. Thorpe’s development coordinator, Sara Fox, says prior to the development, the site was overgrown and wasn’t very inviting or exciting to be outside. “If you just wanted to take a walk, the safest place was along the gravel access road, which was not very safe, scenic or inspiring,” said Fox. She says the Serenity Garden provides a space to reflect either with yourself or with a peer. “There is so much in such a perfect little package here,” said Fox. The opening of phase I fulfills a long-standing vision of the facility prior to relocating to their current location in Blackfoot in 2012, which Krueckl touched on in her opening remarks. “In 2009, board and management of Thorpe had a vision to create a

centre outside the hustle and bustle and build a place of tranquillity offering a high level of therapeutic services with a place to connect with nature,” said Krueckl. “Over the past year, we have watched our facility team and volunteers work to make the dream an even bet-
ter reality.” Fox noted that fundraising began in 2015, pegging the first phase cost at about $70,000. “There is a lot of donated labour, so that’s mostly raw materials that went into this project,” she said. “Our maintenance team has been wonderful in making it hap-
pen; we’ve had business donors to help with the landscaping and get the initial work done.” Krueckl singled out Bandit Energy, Pioneer Landscaping, Nordic Mechanical, SIGA, Walk the Talk, BP Services, Home Hardware, Sheepskin Loft, the Lloydminster Lions Club, Bob and Linda
Dennett and Thorpe staff for helping to complete phase I. The event wrapped up with a ribbon-cutting by Vermilion-Lloydminster-Wainwright MLA Garth Rowswell, Lloydminster MLA Colleen Young and Thorpe board chair Paul Richer followed by a tour of the garden.

..................................
On July 29 at approximately 6:15 p.m., an officer with Vermillion RCMP Traffic Services was conducting routine traffic patrols on Highway 16 near Mannville in Minburn County, Alberta. After conducting checks on a vehicle pulling a travel trailer, the officer observed the licence plate did not match the trailer and a traffic stop was initiated. Further checks revealed the trailer was stolen out of Parkland County and the driver was prohibited from driving. As the officer was conducting checks, both the vehicle driver and passenger fled on foot into a wooded area. Additional officers from the Vermilion and Vegreville detachments, along with police dogs from both Cold Lake and St. Paul, were called to the scene and both individuals were located and arrested. A search of the trailer revealed two additional people inside who were also arrested. The investigation into the contents of both the vehicle and trailer resulted in a significant seizure of drugs, weapons and

Cenovus to integrate Lloyd assets a production forecast that goes with it,” he said. He says in the long term, the company thinks those Lloyd assets will produce over 100,000 bbls/d and generate significant cash flow.

.................................. Cenovus Energy Inc. plans to connect production at its Foster Creek, Christina Lake (FCCL) oil sands operations to the Lloydminster upgrader and refinery in the next one to three years. The Calgary-based company says the task to integrate the Lloyd assets acquired in its Husky takeover, including modifying the upgrader and refinery, won’t require big capital expenditure. “We’ve done a huge amount of work on it,” said Cenovus president and CEO Alex Pourbaix during the company’s second-quarter earnings call. “There are a series of capital projects and I would really put it in the category of very modest capital, probably kind of in the $200 ‘million-ish’ range over a few years.” Pourbaix thinks those projects are going to be “high return projects” connecting FCCL volumes to the Lloydminster upgrader and refinery complex. Historically, the two Lloyd processing facilities have consumed LLB (Lloyd blend), which typically fetch a higher price in the global markets. “So by converting both the upgrader and
the refinery to other feed slates (types) from Foster Creek or Christina Lake, we think we will get margin expansion on the upstream barrels,” explained Keith Chiasson, executive vice-president, downstream. He says he expects they’ll be able to recycle more condensate back into the province, noting Cenovus is a very large consumer of condensate. The company is also a partner with pipeline operator Husky Midstream General Partnership, “so the connectivity is there” noted Chiasson. “We can, over the next few years, integrate those oil sands assets into those two industrial conversion assets and really generate more margin and recycle a lot more condensate in the province, eliminating the need to import it from the Gulf Coast.” “And think about that as Keith said over the kind of next one to three year period,” added Pourbaix. Questions from analysts about capital expenditures arose with Cenovus swinging to a $224-million net profit in the quarter, driven by higher commodity prices and improving sale volumes since its acquisition of Husky.
The company is also on track to achieve $1 billion of synergies since the acquisition and a net debt of $10 billion by the end of 2021. Chief operating officer, Jon McKenzie, says once they get to $10 billion, they still want to de-lever (pay off more debt) and address shareholder returns, with a modest capital budget expected. The company is holding its capital guidance for the year to between $2.3 to $2.7 billion. An additional $100 million, slated for Lloyd thermals including the completion of Spruce Lake North and some new development wells at Christina Lake, is offset by $100 million of downstream reductions. Despite turnarounds at eight of 11 Lloyd thermals, production from the field set a new average record of almost 98,000 bbls/d in the quarter, with more gains to come from operational improvements using Cenovus techniques. McKenzie says they’ve been mapping those Husky assets, and making sure they fully understand the reservoir. “Coming into next year, you’ll see a fully made capital plan with
We can, over the next few years, integrate those oil sands assets into those two industrial conversion assets and really generate more margin and recycle a lot more condensate in the province, eliminating the need to import it from the Gulf Coast.
“The company isn’t putting any capital this year into its acquired Tucker and Sunrise assets,” said McKenzie. “These are all tier 1 assets that are all cash flow positive at the bottom of the cycle.” Pourbaix cautioned analysts not to expect to see any large-scale phased-kind of expansions in the near future despite their falling debt levels. “We have this really incredible portfolio of what I would describe as kind of ‘brown field’ opportunities, organic opportunities just around the edges to add production at very attractive returns and at relatively modest capital,” said Pourbaix. He says you can expect to see a lot of capital around the areas McKenzie was referring to in Lloydminster. “The opportunity to get FCCL connected to the Lloyd complex—I would put that in the category of a really attractive opportunity with quite modest cap-
ital—those are the kind of things I think peo-

ple should be thinking about,” said Pourbaix.

as part of the City of Lloydminster’s Graffiti Cleanup program. Now in its sixth year, this was the group’s second of four mural sessions, and was also the first time the LCYC group was joined by the LNFC youth group. “The mural on the south wall is going to be a cityscape with skateboarders and basketball, things like that,
and the other is an Indigenous themed mural,” said Amber Fast, community development coordinator, City of Lloydminster. “Right now, we’re blocking in the colours on the Indigenousthemed mural, and it will also include a teepee, elders, some kids, the buffalo, the wolf, the beaver, the eagle; the sun has the four sacred
medicines in it, and all of the animals have their own representation … the eagle for example is love.” Home Depot provided the youth with supplies. Mitch LeBlanc from Art Soul Life Creative Studio designed the cityscape mural and Levi Wolfe with the Native Friendship Centre designed the Indigenous themed mural. “It’s been awesome having the two groups come together to work on this, and I think working on a project like this together really means something; they’re doing a great job.”

Kenny Mac, of KM Artisan Hot Sauce, had quite the selection of hot sauces to light up your taste buds at the Sandy Beach Summer Market, this past Sunday at Sandy Beach Regional Park. TAYLOR WEAVER
EDITOR
..................................
If you’re anything like Ken MacDonald, better known as Kenny Mac, then you like hot sauce, a lot, and when you’re passionate about something, the sky is the limit. Mac has been making his own hot sauces for 10 years and sharing them with friends and family, but it wasn’t until a year and a half ago that he and his long-time friend, Dave Mysko, went into business together to try to make a go of it. That’s when KM Artisan Hot Sauce was born. “I’ve always loved hot sauce and just felt I could make hot sauce,” said Mac, who had a vendor booth set up at the Sandy Beach Summer Market this past Sunday. “It was a bit of a challenge. The first one I made, I really started to like the process and really got into it. It really became a passion and I was giving it out to friends. Those friends kept coming back asking for more.” M a c be g a n m a k i ng hot sauce after he and his wife, Deenie, got married and were gifted a “really nice blender.” “I remember the first
sauce I made I just roasted a bunch of peppers and some garlic and threw it in the blender. Then I had to ask myself ‘what goes in hot sauce?’” he said with a laugh. Mac clearly had some idea what to put in hot sauce; fast forward to
the present day and KM Artisan Hot Sauce now has 12 sauces and three seasonal sauces to choose from. “When you start to get into something and really start to think about it, you do your research, and the best way to research hot
sauce is just by eating it,” he said. “It’s embarrassing how many hot sauces are in my fridge, but everywhere I go I end up coming home with hot sauce; it’s product knowledge.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Passion project turns into red hot business
FROM PAGE 5
Mac’s flavours include The Canadian Lumberjack Maple Apple Butter sauce, the Irresistable Easter Wabbit Bait Carrot Sauce, Magical Unicorn Radish sauce, Real Deadly Root Beer sauce, Spicy Dill Pickle sauce, More Cowbell Reaper Hot Sauce and the Sweet Honey Fire
Berry Hottie Sauce, to name a few. “I created the fire berry hot sauce as a challenge to myself,” said Mac. “I went to one of those hot sauce outlets in Edmonton and the lady said ‘you have to buy the cinnamon stuff, I have a customer who puts it on ice cream.’ I had never thought about putting
hot sauce on ice cream before, so I knew I had to make one. “It’s life changing on vanilla ice cream,” he said. “I went to the grocery store with my daughter and we loaded up a cart with raspberries, cherries, blueberries, blackberries and strawberries, and I just went to town making this hot sauce.”
Mac’s current topselling hot sauce is the dill pickle, which according to the crafter of spice, “is more popular than any other by about five times as much.” “People put the dill pickle sauce in their caesars, on their hot dogs, burgers, wherever you can think of, it works quite well.” KM Artisan Hot Sauce can also help with corporate promotional items as well as wedding favours, if you think your palette can handle it. “Part of what we do too is, say you’re a business that wants to give away promo items for customers who spend a certain dollar amount in your store, you can actually order hot sauces we’ll create for you, or you can use a flavour of ours and we put your label on it and you can use that as a promotional
item,” he said, “Or, say you’re getting married and you want to honour your wife’s grandma who’s passed on, but she loved blueberries, we can make a limited batch of that and it would be your wedding surprise to your wife, and or wedding favours … the sky is the limit.” The proof is in the pudding when it comes to Mac’s passion for hot sauce simply by the way he talks about it. “People just love hot sauce, and they love to talk about them,” he said. When he’s not in the kitchen making his sauces, the self-styled sultan of spice keeps busy as the worship leader at LGF church. “Music is a huge part of my life, and I’m still playing music,” he said. “I have two bands, one for country/rock and another which is a gospel band.”
Mac is also a regular at open mic night, hosted at 4th Meridian Brewing Company on Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. Being humble and spiritual, Mac knows his hot sauce dreams wouldn’t be possible without the support of his wife, his two daughters, and his business partner, Dave. “Dave’s been a longtime friend of mine, and one of my best buddies,” he said. “It was only natural for us to team up, and he knows so much about the business on the administrative side that I don’t know, and we’re just a perfect mix. He lives in Rosetown and I live in Lloydminster and we cover all of the space in between. “We’re friends first and we just have a mutual respect for each other.”

Plausible endings to bizarre stories PRAIRIE WOOL HELEN ROW TOEWS
Since we haven’t been able to travel for so long, I’ve been sighing a lot, peering at old travel photos, and reading news from other countries. In doing so, I’ve found some pretty interesting/bizarre stuff to share. My first story details the daring rescue of a boatload of sailors who got caught in a fierce undercurrent while participating in a race on the Pacific Ocean. Thankfully, these luckless boaters were spotted and dragged to safety before the eyes of several hundred frightened spectators. While hair-raising, none of that is unusual. What was unusual was that this annual event takes place every Dec. 26 (winter, in case you needed a little refresher) and the rescuers were a
group of practising nudists. Let that sink in for a moment. Then I’ll tell you that the race sets sail from Sydney, Australia where December weather is hot. So, not as cold on the ole bare bottom as you might have imagined before all the specifics were “exposed”, but “eye-opening” news nonetheless. The next article comes from France, where an elderly couple, originally from England, was quoted by “Metro News”, as having had, “a really lovely dinner of absolutely gorgeous pâté and baked bread”. Admittedly, the couple said they often struggled to read French packaging and failed to notice the clear depiction of a fuzzy cat on the label of the pâté before consuming a container of “mousse gourmande” or, roughly translated— a tin of cat food. Another news flash, this time from “UPI
News”, caught my attention with the headline, “Man balances garden hoe on head for over 2 ½ hours.” Now, that’s something you don’t see every day! If I’m completely honest, I have trouble balancing a hoe in my hands for that long, since I seldom have time for gardening. But on your forehead? What gives? Online footage shows this man in his home with the actual hoe protruding from his noggin, and a full-frontal after shot of the enormous facial dent the implement left behind. Ultimately, it turns out the man was setting a Guinness World Record, which makes the whole strange ordeal a little more understandable. Also from “Metro News” was another eye-grabbing headline. “Runaway giant tortoise found one mile from home after escaping garden.” Further information revealed that
the 35-year-old tortoise, aptly named Titan, weighs 126 pounds, and that it took three police officers to lift him into their van near Ipswich, England. Titan’s owner told authorities that perhaps the tortoise had “teleported” to freedom since the sides of his enclosure are three feet high and there was no sign of them being broken.
Now, this story leaves me with several burning questions. First and foremost, is a tortoise even capable of running away? Secondly, could one, even with a burst of speed and finely honed musculature, actually jump a three-foot fence? And what of this loose inference to the tortoise possessing otherworldly abilities? Did he, in fact,
9
teleport through space? Sort of a “Beam me up Scotty” moment, as it were. Or was this entire situation nothing more than an elaborate hoax perpetrated by the enormous turtle in order to confound the local constabulary and his trusting owner to boot? I guess some stories have plausible endings and then again, some don’t.

A sense of adventure in your own backyard EDITOR Taylor Weaver
What did you all get up to over the long weekend? If you were as busy as me, then you’re probably ready to sleep for an entire two weeks! I would consider this to be a weekend full of firsts for me as it included 18 holes of golf and horseback riding, among many other fun activities ... and I even got a couple of stories out of it for you fine folks to read– bonus! I’ve been quite busy over the last month, which I’m definitely not complaining about. When I told a friend of mine from the gym how busy I’ve been she replied with, “Well, that’s what happens when you get a girlfriend.” touché, Leanna, touché. This girlfriend of mine also takes care of two of her nieces full time, and not having any kids of my own, I’ve quickly learned kiddos don’t really pump the brakes as often as adults do. Good thing I’m just a big kid at heart, eh? Ok, back to the weekend! Friday night included tent camping at Sandy Beach as one of the girls’ grandmas was visiting and had a site for the weekend. My biggest takeaway from Friday night was the fact Jiffy Pop can be one heck of a forearm workout! Saturday saw my lady and I play 18 holes of golf at the Sandy Beach course. For the record, I had never actually played a full round of golf in my life prior to Saturday, and as my buddy back home said to me, “It’s the most

peaceful and frustrating sport on the planet.” He wasn’t wrong ... it was, however, a heck of a lot of fun! We went back to Sandy Beach on Sunday morning to help pack up grandma’s camp and also check out the Sandy Beach Summer Market, which I must say, had something for everyone! I even knew two of the musicians who were playing on the stage they had set up and was invited to join them to play the cajon that was brought by The Sandy Beach Boys; thanks for sharing, Mike! After the market we all headed out to Graham Town for some horseback riding ... something I haven’t done since I was a kid at a fair. So, I’m definitely the least experienced rider of the group but I tell Graham Town’s owner it’s “been a while since I’d ridden a horse.” Luckily I’m calm, confident, and work well under pressure. And wouldn’t you know it, they give me Reno for the ride. Apparently, Reno is relatively new to Graham Town and can be a bit unpredictable at times. The first time he picked up some speed I definitely felt like a

fish out of water ... and may have almost needed a new pair of boxers ... but I digress. I got the hang of it really quickly and kept wanting to go faster, and faster! Everyone had a blast on the trail ride and we checked out the buildings at Graham Town before leaving, which were very, very impressive. I told the owner, Colleen, that I’d have to come back to take some photos and do a write-up about all of the work she’s done out there, and of course, go for another ride! It was a really good weekend filled with lots of great memories, but the point I wanted to make here was, this action-packed weekend full of adventure all took place within roughly 35km of Lloydminster, and I am really impressed with how much there is to do around here without having to drive to the “city” or break the bank going to Disneyland. Summer may be flying by, but why not go see what kind of adventures you can have in your own backyard. Of course, I also did my best Old Spice “I’m on a horse” impression, too ... thanks for the photo, Chels! Until next time.

Leeway from Lloyd: Package rage is real! STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE
We’ve all heard about road rage. One of its angry cousins is package rage, caused by the frustration of trying to unwrap or unseal simple everyday products. This madness came to mind after I bought some skin moisturizer and couldn’t figure out how to get the pump mechanism to work. I tried twisting the handle, pushing the handle and pulling the handle gently, but nothing worked until I yanked the pump contraption right off the bottle due to utter frustration! Now the entire container is useless unless
I unscrew the cap off. Unfortunately, I end up with too little or far too much of the gunk after turning it upside down and giving it a shake. You can’t put the genie back in the bottle again. Getting condiments out of their bottles is also a multi-step hassle. You have to screw or lift the plastic cap off, peel off a protective layer covering the opening, screw the cap back on and carry on. If all of the cover is not removed, the cap won’t go on properly either! Bacon is another hassle requiring slicing the length of the package with a sharp knife and down both sides to open it without cutting yourself, as
I have done. Other containers like bottles of drinks are even harder to get at because you have to hack through protective plastic over the cap with a knife or sharp fingernails before you can twist the cap off. Whatever became of bottle openers? Sometimes, I have had to use a large pair of pliers to get the silly plastic lid off my milk jugs after breaking the thin pull tag off in my hand! Another major headache is getting the lid off a vile of prescription pills or vitamins. Do you twist and/or push two sides at once or push down on two sides then twist? By the time I get at the contents, I need an injection to calm me
down. The worst offenders are products sold in tightly-formed sealed plastic-like toys
and razor blades that almost require a chainsaw to remove. Packaging is putting us in the loonie bin
where we will remain trying to get at our meds. Is it twist and pull or push down, pull and twist?!!!

Fire woes WHISPERS OF THE PAST SANDRA L. BROWN
Mayor Hall called a meeting in July 1917 to discuss the ongoing need for better fire fighting measures for both sides of Lloydminster. He did this “owing to the inability of the two councils to come together on a definite plan to fight fires and to pay for them.” It was now up to the ratepayers to see what could be done. From the early settlement in 1903, Lloydminster was essentially one community. The provincial border was much further west. Fire protection was organized about the same time the 1905 Autonomy Bill was in effect which created the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan out of the NorthWest Territories.
File Photo It must have been quite a shock when folks realized their growing settlement was being divided by the Meridian into two provinces. At this time folks agreed to purchase a fire engine. As soon as the village became incorporated, they would help pay for the cost including freight charges. Well, the engine arrived about the same time as the village was incorporated in Alberta, the bill was sent and the village responded by purchasing their own small engine.
The town, now in Saskatchewan formed their own fire brigade and paid for everything themselves. Each side had separate fire brigades. Then the topic of the costly big reservoir tanks was brought up as the town had paid for it on their own. It was very obvious the village benefitted from the use of this water when fires occurred. Also, the nightman on duty at the fire hall was solely paid for by the town. CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

The sprint to winter MIDWEST MINUTE VERN McCLELLAND
The August long weekend has always signalled a turning point in the year for me. It starts with the realization there are only so many weeks left to complete too long a list of projects on the farm so focus and prioritization are key. Also, in a normal year, we would be looking at silaging our cereal crops near the end of the coming month. This year, the amount of time before they come off will be measured in days, not weeks. To say the drought has been stressful on both farmers and ranchers would be an understatement. As sloughs dry up along pasture borders, cattle always seem to
find a way to work their way through the fences leading to tense conversations between adjacent landowners. Some high winds accompanying thunderstorms and hail didn’t help either, pushing trees over them as well. Generally, by early August, we would be able to book excess wheat straw dropped by our neighbours while they are combining. However, no one will commit this year as it may be more productive to incorporate what is there back into the soil. I get it, rumours abound about nitrogen fertilizer being twice the price next spring from this year. Oil and gas producers want to recover their profits after many years of lower prices. Fuel costs are pushing steadily higher, assisted in part by a federal carbon tax. You can’t run machin-
ery or heat your home on the dust in the air. Cow/calf producers across the West are deeply worried, and I don’t blame them. Unless they can secure fall grazing of dried-out crops from adjacent grain farmers or catch a rain to promote the growth of what grass is there, they will have to wean calves early, then decide on what to do with the mother cows. If you do find feed to buy, and that is a big if, it is making the decision easier as what is out there is priced too high to make this a practical decision for the rancher with a commercial herd. Some of our friends quietly tell us they are contemplating selling the entire herd, then trying to rebuild in the years ahead. Others I know will leave the business altogether.

File Photo Imagine for a minute liquidating 30 or 40 years of hard work and selective breeding for what will likely be less than favourable prices only to have to compete next year in buying back limited, and likely higher-priced inventory. A sustained drought brings water issues with it as well. Without groundwater replenished by regu-
lar rains and snowmelt, rural-based homes and businesses are at risk, not just for domestic purposes, but fire as well. I remember too well the 2002 May long weekend with three major pasture fires within 10 miles of our home. So, take a minute to appreciate the stress country folk are under
right now, be understanding, and say a prayer for timely rains, please. Vern McClelland is an associate broker with RE/MAX of Lloydminster and an active partner in his family’s livestock operation.

Fire woes cont. File Photo FROM PAGE 12
Again, the village did not provide financial assistance. The obvious conclusion was the village ratepayers didn’t want to pay for fire protection. Previous to this an agreement was in place between the two Councils for each side to pay for their own expenses. However, the village Council had never signed or voted on it. After reviewing the agreement together, Mr. Messum made a resolution endorsing it. Claude Aston seconded it. It was carried
with 34 votes for and four against. Unfortunately, there were no representatives present from the village Council during this meeting as they were all in Edmonton. As the organizer of the meeting, Mr. Hall had put a notice in the newspaper but didn’t know they wouldn’t be attending. Mr. Moxley thought the “whole trouble was that Meridian Line. If they could dig it up and bury it somewhere else it would be a great deal better, as it hindered everything.” Mr. Hall felt no mat-
ter what side of the line a fire was blazing, the firemen would be eager to help and do their best. A discussion flared up with folks disagreeing on joint or separate brigades. They all agreed the firemen worked hard to fight fires and protected both sides of the border. It was time to forget about the past and move forward. A joint meeting of the two Councils and their ratepayers would take place the following week to organize definite measures for better fire protection. 21082DS0 21082DS1

Last week in the field: Sask crop report MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
Haying continues throughout the province with few rainfall delays last week. Livestock producers now have 15 per cent of hay crop cut and 75 per cent baled or put into silage. Many producers across the province have finished their haying operations. Hay quality is rated as four per cent excellent, 40 per cent good, 34 per cent fair and 22 per cent poor. Many farmers have indicated hay yields are below normal this year, particularly in areas that received less rainfall in early summer and a second cut is extremely unlikely. Heat has accelerated the ripening and maturation of all crops across the province and some producers have begun harvesting. The estimated yields for many crops across the province is expected to be well below average. Any
rain now won’t increase yields but would have a positive effect next year. Rainfall this past week varied throughout the province, ranging from none in many areas to 55 mm in areas around Indian Head and Neilburg. The Lumsden area received 33 mm, the Langenburg area 30 mm and the Saltcoats area 24 mm. Above normal temperatures combined with a lack of substantial rainfall have caused topsoil moisture levels to continue to trend downward. Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as four per cent adequate, 38 per cent short and 58 per cent very short. Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent adequate, 27 per cent short and 71 per cent very short. The prolonged drought conditions have rapidly deteriorated crop conditions and a majority of crops are
rated as poor to fair. All crops are well ahead of their normal developmental stages for this time of year and many are ripe enough to begin harvest. Some producers have started harvesting, while others are still assessing yields and determining if cutting and baling is the better option. Strong winds, drought stress, hail, heat and grasshoppers took their toll on crops this past week. There is little producers can do at this point in the season to address these environmental factors out of their control. Producers are busy finishing up haying, conducting yield assessments, harvesting or getting equipment and bins ready for harvest. Producers are reminded that in response t o t he f eed shortage this year, Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation is doubling the Low
Yield Appraisal threshold values for customers who salvage their cereal or pulse crops as feed, without negatively impacting future individual coverage. Customers are asked to contact their local SCIC office before they graze, bale or silage any damaged crops to discuss their options. Additionally, the Government of Saskatchewan
is making changes to temporarily increase the maximum funding a livestock producer can receive from the Farm and Ranch Water Infrastructure Program (FRWIP) for dugouts, wells and pipelines for agricultural use. This change will be in effect for the April 1 to March 31, 2022, time period. The maximum rebate for live-
15
stock producers during this time period will increase from $50,000 to $150,000. The first $50,000 will be based on a 50-50 cost-share and the remaining $100,000 will be on a 70-30 government-producer costshare. Producers can contact the Agriculture Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377 for more information.

.................................. Volleyball is on a roll in Lloydminster thanks
to the Momentum Volleyball Program, run mainly by Avery Outreach School teachers
Cory Gratton and Brent Teasdale. The program is set to start its second year

with a special skills camp for Grades 4-6 and Grades 7-12 athletes at the Servus Sports Centre Aug. 27-29. Gratton is stoked to have guest instructors Jordan Nowakowski and his fiancé, Taylor Annala, who both had stellar playing careers at the University of Saskatchewan onboard. The camp will build on the success Momentum has had to date,

helping three local boys and three girls make Team Saskatchewan rosters this summer. “This is most definitely a record for
our community,” said Gratton. “In the last 30 years we’ve sporadically had players make the provincial team, sometimes going years without athletes on the roster.” Rylan Teasdale, from EH Walter School who went through the Momentum program, is currently training with the Sask Canada Games men’s team. Brenton Romanchuk at JR Robson School and Owen Clarke from EH Walter made the U17 men’s provincial team. Carly Hawryluk from Lloydminster Comprehensive High School is on the U17 Women’s team. Sisters Norah and Emerson Mathews from Holy Rosary High School earned spots on the U15 team, crediting the Momentum coaches for their success. “Cory and Brent helped me and Emerson a lot with improving our skills in our positions and understanding them more,” said Norah.

Educators help athletes thrive on provincial stage

Avery Outreach School teachers Brent Teasdale, left, and Cory Gratton started Momentum Volleyball training last fall during COVID. Teasdale is an assistant coach with the U17 men’s Saskatchewan team. Gratton is an assistant coach with the Men’s Canada Games team. They have helped six local players make the provincial team. FROM PAGE 16
“I play middle and that’s what I made with Team Sask, because of them helping me. I learned a lot about my core positioning and transitions and stuff which is really hard in
the middle.” Emerson, who plays the power position, says both coaches helped her to learn “to hit the ball harder and jump higher and pass the ball better” when she’s on defence. The sisters will
train with their team in Regina at the end of August with the younger Emerson eligible to represent Saskatchewan at the Canada Games in Niagara in 2022. Gratton says the commitment to training this group of local athletes displayed (even though competitions are cancelled) has resulted in “wonderful success” for them and the growth of volleyball in our community. He and Teasdale also coach volleyball at Avery and at both Lloydminster high schools. They launched the Momentum program to keep volleyball going when COVID nixed all play at school gyms. Gratton is an active volleyball coach with Team Sask Men’s Canada Games team and president with Sask Volleyball’s board of directors and loves coaching. He also enlisted the
help of Aaron Canfield who won a championship with the University of Saskatchewan and is principal of Bishop Lloyd Middle School.
“
We will probably continue on as long as there are kids that are interested in refining their skills and getting better.
“So the three of us ran small group sessions with practices Sundays and Wednesdays for Grade 4 to 12,” said Gratton. “We took advantage of the opportunity given the fact that junior and high volleyball was going to be cancelled to offer small group sessions at athletes so they could work on skill development.”
Gratton says in the absence of competitions, it gave a whole bunch of players a better opportunity to kind of refine their skills a little more. “It went really well. We had a lot of participants and we were able to run the program,” he said. Momentum Volleyball w i l l c o nti nu e to run programming this
fall year for Grades 5-9 ranging from an introduction to volleyball to high performance. “We will probably continue on as long as there are kids that are interested in refining their skills and getting better,” said Gratton. Momentum has also been able to purchase spiking and serving machines thanks to sponsors.

Supporting ranchers through hot Alberta summer MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
Minister Devin Dreeshen. Flckr Photo
Alberta is pulling together resources to help the agriculture industry withstand prolonged dry conditions. From consistent water supply to access to feed to managing financial risk, Alberta’s ranchers can access the programs that make the most sense for their operation. “Alberta’s government is here for our cattle producers,” said
Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Devin Dreeshen. “We’re working with industry to identify their most pressing concerns and making sure they have the supports they need to make it through this difficult time. We will continue to support the agriculture industry in whatever way we can.” Additionally, a number of provinces joined Alberta in requesting the federal government undertake a formal
assessment for an AgriRecovery response.
“
We’re working with industry to identify their most pressing concerns and making sure they have the supports they need to make it through this difficult time. We will continue to support the agriculture industry in whatever way we can.
AgriRecovery is designed to cover uninsurable costs, such as those incurred due to extreme drought conditions. Provincial officials are working hard to identify extraordinary circumstances not covered by existing programs and advocate for new solutions. This assessment has begun and includes collaboration with industry stakeholders. On July 31, Minister Dreeshen, along with Premier Jason Kenney, Minister of Environment and Parks Jason Nixon and Associate Minister of Rural Economic Development Nate Horner, toured the dry conditions facing cattle producers near Bassano. “I appreciated the opportunity to show Premier Kenney, Minister Dreeshen, Minister Nixon and Associate Minister Horner the impacts of drought first-hand,” said Melanie Wowk, chair, Alberta Beef Producers. “I value their acknowledgement of the severity and urgency of the situation. AgriRecovery programmi ng a nd o th e r
initiatives are going to be essential to maintain Alberta cattle herds.” Alberta continues to experience a very dry summer, which is a concern for many of the province’s ranchers. Hot weather places additional stress on growing crops and water supply. Livestock owners depend on a consistent food and water supply for their animals. Without proper support, ranchers can face difficult decisions surrounding sourcing feed, securing water and selling off herds. The governments of Canada and Alberta, through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership, recently doubled the low yield threshold to encourage Alberta grain farmers to divert additional cereal or pulse crops to be salvaged for livestock feed. Alberta’s Water Pumping Program provides assistance to producers in securing adequate water supplies for domestic, livestock or agricultural purposes. Alberta announced a 20 per cent reduction in premium costs for crop, pasture and forage insurance earlier this year, which protects against weather-related production loss. As a result, 400 additional farmers and ranchers enrolled, almost 1,400 farmers and ranchers increased their level of coverage and almost 230 clients re-enrolled after cancelling their insurance in 2020 or prior years. Alberta’s Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) hired an additional 21 adjustment team members in December 2020 and April 2021, bringing the total number of active adjustment team members to 119. The government has advised crop adjusters to be flexible and complete early assessments to convert crops to livestock feed.
