Council rejects Lakeland sign site GEOFF LEE WRITER

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

Council rejected an application from Lakeland College to amend the city’s land use bylaw to erect a digital billboard near the intersection of 59 Avenue and 25 Street.

The college can however reapply to council in six months with another proposal.

Councillor Stephanie Brown Munro voted in

favour of the amendment, but the majority ruled the site not suitable due to proximity to the intersection, nearby residences and development conflicts.

The decision puts the brakes on Lakeland proceeding to step two of the process with a sign design that Brown Munro wanted to see.

“Lakeland didn’t want to put the resources and the expenses out if the city

wasn’t willing to adjust the bylaw allowing them to have the sign up in the first place,” said Brown Munro.

She says she understands and respects all those residents that live in that area while noting everyone appreciates Lakeland College.

“It’s such a huge resource; we like to work together whenever it’s possible,” she said.

An oil and gas protest convoy to Ottawa rolled out of Red Deer early Thursday morning with a similar pipelines or bust urgency felt by industry supporters in Lloydminster.

Convoy posters were snatched up at a pro energy rally held at the Lloydminster Exhibition Grounds last Wednesday as the impact of government inaction on approving new oil pipelines hits home.

“Businesses are barely hanging on and there’s not a lot of hope out there. We need to try and provide some hope and try to get some people to listen to us in the federal government,” said Drew Lake one of the rally organizers and speakers.

“We need pipelines and there’s just no way around that.”

Lake expects pipelines will be the top issue during this year’s Alberta election as well. “ The carbo n ta x i s al so a big item, but we need to mandate the fact that pipelines are in the national interest. We need to ignore all of the foreign funded anti

oil sands, anti energy protesters,” he said.

The rally was the brainchild of former Lloydminster resident Candace Nutbrown who used to haul oil in the area and now works as an oil production engineer tech in Grande Prairie.

She says the event was nice homecoming for her, but she learned Gibson Energy has moved out town and she heard about a lot of other businesses that are shut down as well such as The Root with Furniture Clinic soon to follow suit.

“The other energy industries are decreasing their capital to spend on heavy oil in Lloydminster which trickl e s d o w n to se r v i c e c o mpanies all the way down to affect all of us,” said Nutbrown.

“That’s why I am coming out to events like this. It’s important to raise our voices and get the right information out there and make a point to the government that we are not just going to lay down and let them shut in the energy sector.”

Nutbrown brought copies of her petition letter signed by more than 6,000 people.

Protesters demand new pipelines FROM PAGE 1

Nutbrown will deliver them in person in Ottawa on Feb. 20 urging Prime Minster Justin Trudeau to suspend Bill C-69 on pipeline approval processes.

“Bill C-69 will just kill the industry and will not allow us any future development of pipelines in this country if it goes forward,” said Lloydminster MLA Colleen Young.

Young says the lack of new pipelines is hurting everyone not just those in the sector.

“It’s not just about them and their jobs; it’s an economy and how it supports not only us in Lloydminster but people on the east side (of Canada) as well,” she said.

Young and Cypress Hills MLA Doug Steele came to the rally with Saskatchewan Minister of Energy and Resources Bronwyn Eyre who spoke on behalf of Premier Scott Moe. “We just want to stand in support of our resource sector,” said Eyre who attended rally a few weeks ago on the steps of the Legislature in Regina.

“We just think it’s important to be here for the community.”

Former oil company employer, Wayne King from Lloydminster says the troubles in the oil patch have been brewing for many years highlighted by a lack of oil pipeline capacity.

“What we need is a government ‘with balls’ that can get this pipeline situation resolved, get it done, in place, so that the entire Western Canadian industry can move forward,” he said.

Jodi Broadhead, a Slave Lake resident who co-owns Apex Well Servicing is worried about the possibility of laying off some of their 200 employees if

Lloydminster oil supporter Drew Lake took his turn at the podium to voice his support for more oil pipelines at a pro oil rally at the Lloydminster Exhibition Grounds last Wednesday.

there is no upturn.

“Because of the slump in oil prices and the government’s poor attitude towards the Alberta oil patch, the majority of oil companies have cut back capital budgets and are shutting in existing wells,” said Broadhead.

“We have already seen a huge reduction in our revenues and we expect layoffs to our workforce in the next few months.”

She chanted ‘pipelines, pipelines, pipelines’ as the answer to

her question how can this be fixed.

“This is the only answer as Alberta must get its oil to the tidewater,” said Broadhead.

Garth Rowswell Alberta UCP candidate for Vermilion/Lloydminster/Wainwright also came out slugging, voicing his concern for the Alberta government’s curtailment of oil production.

“That’s what the opposition to our oil industry wants to do, so the fact we don’t have a pipeline and

the fact we had to curtail our oil production, is an indication of how badly we need pipelines,” said Rowswell.

Rowswell says he talks to guys in the industry and is hearing they are just not busy like they use to be and he is worried capital is flowing out of the country.

He cited Exxon’s recent decision to build an LNG plant in Texas instead of British Columbia as an example.

“So there’s capital flowing out of the country because we can’t get our policies straight in order to promote the oil and gas industry in this country,” said Rowswell “We need to push back on what I call the war on fossil fuels and that’s why I ran.”

Some other notable speakers at the rally were Lloydminster Mayor Gerald Aalbers, Onion Lake Energy director Lisa Whitford, Bernard “the roughneck” Hancock and Robbie Picard from Oil Sands Strong.

City to spin marketing with Red Bicycle GEOFF LEE WRITER

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

The City of Lloydminster and Red Bicycle Communications will co-pedal each other’s tourism marketing messages to the world.

Council approved the city to enter into a three year partnership with Red Bicycle at an annual cost of $30,000 to build a mutually beneficial destination marketing brand.

“As a city we want

to make sure that the message about our city is getting out,” said Mayor Gerald Aalbers on Monday.

He says the city lacks a destination presence of its own and will find synergies with Red Bicycle’s Discover Lloydminster tourism and marketing brand.

“Our city website is not driven to tourism where their’s is. We’ll see a lot more traffic on the website going forward,” said Aalbers.

Destination Lloydminster brand has grown from an annual printed guide to a community content rich brand with multiple

platforms including a website, Facebook page and Instagram account.

“They came to the city and said ‘we’d like to partner and grow on what we started and expand that’;the city decided to do that,” explained Aalbers.

“It saves the city about $190,000 trying to duplicate what is already there.”

He noted another benefit of partnering with Red Bicycle is not re-inventing the wheel.

“As a municipal government we shouldn’t be duplicating what a private business is already doing,” he said.

“Businesses who

advertise say they can get the best value with one magazine for instance.”

The partnership will broaden the city’s reach to new and existing target audiences, increase market exposure and extend the city’s tourism marketing and ad budget.

Aalbers noted visitors will find information about the city on numerous platforms with cross marketing links with Red Bicycle.

“We’ll have involvement making sure we get the information we’d like to see in that magazine to the people,” he said.

Signs’ impact on traffic a major factor FROM PAGE 1

“It was a 49 to 51 per cent chance in my mind,” said Brown Munro, noting she was pulling for both sides.

“I wasn’t sure which way to go with it, but I did want to see that step two and that only would be able to happen if we did make the amendment to the bylaw.”

The land in question is owned by the college and is currently zoned as Public Service District.

The amendment would have been site specific and something Coun. Ken Baker noted was akin to spot zoning.

“You have to consider the people who live there,” said Baker.

He suggested Lakeland find another place on its property that doesn’t affect residential areas.

The digital billboard in Lakeland’s application would be about 6 m high and 5.6m wide.

Mayor Gerald Aal-

bers noted the location preferred by Lakeland would impact residential areas east, south and north of the college.

“Once you put up a digital display and we know there’s a couple of them on 16 highway as we drive through town there’s times when those digital displays do emit a fair amount of light,” said Aalbers.

Aalbers noted placing a sign near the intersection of 5 9 and 25 would be a challenge for the development of a potential traffic circle in future years.

“With that in mind where do you place a sign that people can access it and see it and yet not cause traffic?” asked Aalbers.

He noted the engineering department might have to conduct an traffic analysis and planning might have concerns with water and sewer lines in that area.

Aalbers added the

ASK THE EXPERTS

existing bylaw also doesn’t allow for a billboard sign that Lakeland wants for third party advertising.

Lakeland was presented with a map by city administration a few months ago that identifies areas near the college entrance where a sign could be built.

According to council notes Lakeland has not signalled their intention to apply for a sign application in the identified build area.

“We’ll certainly hope that Lakeland reconsiders; there’s certainly options,” said Aalbers.

Council discussion floated an idea they look at a site on Highway 16 through town but to do that the college would have to

lease or buy property.

DARP at The Root: It’s time for Phase 2 of the public engagement process for the Downtown Area Redevelopment Plan.

An open house on DARP will be held at The Root on Feb. 18 with information and displays the city’s consultant O2 Planning + Design gleaned from the first round of public input.

“They’ve put forth kind of an idea of what the DARP should look like and we want to get the public’s engagement on how they feel,” said Councillor Stephanie Brown Munro.

DARP will provide a clear 15-year vision and actions for the rejuvenation of the Lloydminster’s downtown.

City council to seek Games’ facility savings GEOFF LEE WRITER

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

Council authorized the City of Lloydminster to provide a $500,000 Capital Funding Grant to the 2020 Saskatchewan Summer Games Host Society for facility upgrades—but with an eye on cost savings.

The capital grant is

part of the estimated $2.3 million cost of the Games with some possible cost sharing within the Lloydminster Public School Division on required $125,000 improvements to the track at Lloydminster Comprehensive High School.

An agreement was raised at council that

Laird Middle School on Monday with their inspirational messages. Both men cames at the invitation of teacher Morgan Mann who is a life long friend of Redden.

exists between the school board and the city with the track being the only facility on the upgrade list not on city owned property.

“We’ll be examining that and sharing that with the Summer Games Committee to ensure that we get the maximum value for the dollars allocated,” said Mayor Gerald Aalbers.

“So we’ll be searching that out with the school board ensuring the Summer Games committee is aware of it and if it lessens the amount we need to spend working the school board, we’ll appreciate that very much.”

The $500,000 grant for capital upgrades is an approved Capital Budget item for the Games that will take place July 26-Aug. 1 in 2020.

City facilities to get an upgrade include Legion ball diamonds, BioClean Aquatic Centre, tennis courts, Ser-

vus Sports Centre, Veteran Land Area (VLA) soccer pitches, Servus field, Lloydminster Golf and Curling Centre, and Hospital Ball Diamonds.

The biggest expense is $250,000 to reconfigure the hospital diamonds into fenced regulation playing fields.

Any capital cost overruns over three per cent of the total budget need the approval of city council and the Games Council, but Aalbers doesn’t see that happening with the city’s approved capital grant for facility upgrades.

“We are working very closely with the Games committee. The local Games Committee felt they could deliver the projects for less than $500,000 working with contractors and supporters and businesses in-kind wherever that’s possible,” said Aalbers.

“If they can shave 10 per cent off that cost off that $500,000, that

would terrific.”

He says any savings would go toward the Games with any money left over as Legacy money.

“There are many opportunities for local businesses to help make these Games very cost effective,”said Aalbers.

(SOS) Enhanced Bursary that helps Lakeland students access financial aid.

Last year the gala raised over $72,000 for the SOS Enhanced Bursary.

“Financial challenges are the greatest obstacle faced by students, which is why I am so grateful to have our community’s continued support for this transformative fundraising event,” said Dr. Alice Wainwright Stewart, president and CEO of Lakeland College.

This bursary was established in 2011 for full-time students in

any program of study who display financial need, maintain a satisfactory academic standing and demonstrate good character and work ethic.

One-in-six students who are accepted to Lakeland but do n o t a t t e nd w i t h d r a w because of financial need.

In the most recent enhanced bursary application process, Lakeland received 126 applications for financial help.

Of these applications, the bursary fund was only able to support 25 students.

“I’ve seen firsthand the difference that bursaries make in the lives of students – it helps to keep them at Lakeland and allows them to benefit from our leadership opportunities and student-managed experiences, which assists them to become job-ready,” said Wainwright Stewart.

Friends of the college, industry leaders and members of the community will unite at the Gala for an evening of fine-dining and live music by Juno awardwinning artist Char lie Major, presented by Stingray.

French winter carnival fun and educational GEOFF LEE WRITER

.................................. École St. Thomas rolled out Plan B to bring its Frenchthemed winter Carnaval indoors.

An extreme cold advisory from Environment Canada was in effect during Carnaval week festivities from Feb. 5-8 at the K to Grade 7 French language school.

“It was a little too cold for our outdoor games this year so we had a Plan B and played inside,” said vice principal Chantale Forcier.

“It’s been five years since we’ve had to do some indoor games.”

Forcier says some of the younger students seemed relieved, but a few of the older students were a little sad they couldn’t go outside and play games.

“It’s more fun in the snow,” added Forcier.

The purpose of the carnival is to celebrate winter and the French

language and culture based on the winter Carnaval in Quebec led by the Bonhomme.

“So we have our own winter carnival to celebrate winter and the fact we speak French and the tradition that the French have,” said Forcier.

Bonhomme also showed up as usual to kick off the school’s Carnaval.

“Students are always so excited to see Bonhomme; he gets lots of hugs from the kids and lots of five highs and Bonhomme loves it too,” said Forcier.

Plan B included a whole list of different indoor games that the school’s team of teachers prepared.

“We had some bobsled races; we had a snowball (dodge ball) fight; we had some races in the halls,” said Forcier.

Some of the other traditional games modified for indoors were la raquette or snowshoes and a team game called the slooch where students to work t o g e t h e r t o g e t f ro m point A to point B on a wooden contraption.

“If we were outside we’d have sled races and those kinds of things,” said Forcier.

Other physical activities this year included skating at Archie Miller Arena for Grade 3-4 students.

One of the most popular events was the student sampling of toffee on the snow called la tire in French.

Students learned how to roll maple syurup

poured on top of snow onto a popiscle stick as one of many other educational activities on the schedule.

“We have someone from La Troupe de Jour—she is providing improv workshops for our Grade 5-7 students,” said Forcier last Wednesday.

“Then we have one of our subsitute teachers; he is doing workshops with our 5-7 students.

Our Grade 2 students had a Skype meeting with a French author from Calgary.”

Carnaval wrapped up Friday with a community pancake breakfast with enough food to feed a gathering of more than 1,000 families, parents and students from 7 to 8:30 a.m.

The closing ceremonies were held in the afternoon.

JAMIE HARKINS

Have you ever had an urge to just throw everything into the wind?

Taking a yearly one-week vacation from work and home is fine, but I don’t see the point of it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve heard lots of great things about the seven-day all-inclusive trips to Mexico, Jamaica or the Dominican Republic.

Apparently, they reenergize you for the coming year, while also providing a needed respite from the difficulties of dealing with the demands that accompany work and home.

I have no problem with these trips, even though I must admit I’ve never taken one. There are bigger things to do and money is tight.

Instead, I’ll just keep saving for the big one. This means not taking a vacation at all and trying to limit spending my savings on car repairs or whatever other expenses pop up.

I’ve taken a total of two planned vacation weeks off since moving to Davidson, Sask., for the job as the Leader’s general reporter in June of 2012.

The Leader closed shop for two weeks around Christmas and the beginning of August each year, while my next two jobs at the Estevan Mercury and Meridian Source have Christmas papers that don’t generally need reporters to stick around for in order to publish.

I consider those days off, and rightfully so, vacation days. But, the only times I actually booked a week off came in August of 2016 when my big highlight was going to the dentist and getting a tooth pulled and July, 2018, when the dentist cheerfully told me no cavities.

My one great vacation during adulthood, apart from a few months unemployed in my early 20’s when I was lucky enough to go into it with a surplus of ready made homebrew, came a couple of months before the move to Davidson.

I loaded my backpack with stuff that eventually prove d unnecessary and flew to London without a plan in place or a

room booked.

I luckily found a pretty nice hostel after walking through London’s downtown streets that afternoon. A couple of days later, including one 54-hour stretch spent on the streets of Carnduff thanks to an unforeseen triathlon and rugby tournament, I found myself in Cork, Ireland.

Before my money ran out, which took about four weeks, I travelled by bus and foot to towns across the Irish Republic where adventures encountered included breaking my arm on a nasty fall at a Dublin hostel, meeting a nice French girl on the way to Killarney and encountering a group of despicable Canadians in Galway.

No, we’re not all nice and polite despite what you may have been led to believe.

That latter fact surprised me at the time, but I’d call the whole trip a revelation of what it’s actually like to get away from it all. My plan is to throw life into the wind again at some point, but where and when are still to be decided.

I’ve been studying French in the meantime.

Opinion

Leeway from Lloyd: Be warm and fuzzy STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE

The upcoming Coldest Night of the Year charity walk may not happen on the actual coldest day of winter, but that doesn’t matter.

The national event is a familyfriendly walk that raises money for charities serving hungry, homeless, and hurting people in participating communities.

Our community downtown walk of 2, 5 or 10 kilometres on Saturday, Feb. 23 hopes to raise $20,000 to keep operate the Lloydminster Men’s Shelter especially during cold spells.

The event slogan “Let’s share the warmth because its cold out there” hints at the feel good response that registered individuals and teams will get by taking part while feeding and sheltering homeless people in our community.

The Lloydminster Men’s Shelter serves more than 100 meals a day during the coldest days of winter while sheltering the homeless who might otherwise freeze to death.

One man was found dead in a snowbank near Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton last week when the temperature dropped to -37 C with the wind chill.

If we care about the homeless, the shelter needs to be open for the entire winter regardless of the contributing cause of homelessness.

Nobody can survive outdoors 24/7 when the temperature is that cold or even when it’s much warmer in late fall and early spring.

It’s pathetic that someone has to die in a big winter city like Edmonton that only opens LRT stations when the shelters are 90 per cent full.

And even when they open it seems that city doesn’t take any additional measures to outfit the station for those in need like accessible washrooms or blankets and food.

The politicians making those decisions don’t live outdoors and seem to impose all kinds of weird trigger points for LRT openings when they should be tripping over each other to help.

Let’s hope Lloydminster is better than that and everyone gets a chance to show it when the walk starts at 5 p.m. from Grace United Church.

You don’t have to walk to support the event as donations and pledges can be made 24/7 online at cnoy.ca and clicking the search button for Lloydminster.

Feel warm and fuzzy at the same time.

Money Matters Money lessons for kids (NC) We all want our kids to be safe, happy, healthy and successful. One critical way to help them have a great future is to teach them about finances and how to take care of their money and savings.

Protect your information. Bank accounts and credit cards are vulnerable to hacking and identity theft, especially in our digital age.

Teach your children to never provide their personal or financial information over the phone, via text message, email or the internet when someone asks for it unsolicited.

Money Matters Tips for affording travel and adventure (NC) Whether you’re in your 30s or 60s, you probably have a travel bucket list, and you’re not alone. According to a recent TD Insurance survey, 78 per cent of Canadians have a list of places they want to visit and explore.

And if you are a boomer or retiree, you may have the upper hand when it comes to knocking a few items off that list. Boomers may have more leisure time compared to other generations, so they can travel more frequently. The survey revealed 52 per cent of boomers take two or mo r e va c a t i o ns e a c h year, and half the time it’s for 10 days or more.

Having the time to

(NC) travel is one thing, but affordability is another.

Contrary to popular belief, bucket list travel doesn’t have to be expensive. With some creative planning, you can make it a reality.

Neil Henderson, senior manager at TD Insurance, offers these tips to make it more affordable: Be flexible. If you are retired or have minimal work obligations, your

schedule may offer you more flexibility on when you can schedule your holidays. Travelling in the off season, like November through March in Europe, could land you better flight

and accommodation prices.

Get creative with savings. Remember to ask about senior discounts — some kick in as young as age 50.

Also, consider hotel alternatives like condo or townhome vacation rentals, as they may be more affordable than hotels. Often these types of vacation rentals are outfitted with a kitchen, so you can save more by cooking your own food.

Make sure you are covered. The last thing you want is to be saddled with an unforeseen medical bill while on vacation. The survey revealed that 35 per cent of boomers say they, or someone

they travelled with, were faced with a travel emergency. If you travel frequently and for longer durations throughout the year, an annual travel insurance plan may help you avoid unexpected bills in the event of a medical emergency.

Go longer. The most expensive part of trave l l i ng i s u s u al l y ai rfare, so make the most of that money and take a longer vacation. You may even be able to negotiate a better per night accommodation price with a longer stay.

Where it makes sense, think about combining multiple trips into one and cross two or more items off your bucket list.

Money Matters Fight workplace stress (NC) For most Canadians, their main source of stress is money.

This is even more than employment, health and family obligations. And this stress is costly to the workplace.

A report by the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans estimates that dealing with financial matters on the job could cost employers from $750 to $2,000 per employee per year.

Many people say they are distracted at work because of these concerns. According to the Conference Board of Canada, extremely financially bu r d e ne d employ ee s spend around one hour

each day while at work dealing with personal finances.

In comparison, those moderately burdened by financial issues spend around 1.5 hours per week dealing with them.

Fortunately, adding a financial well-being program in the workplace can help.

Many employers are already helping millions of adults to understand their compensation programs and their own pay, as well as to find ways to save money through good financial practices. Providing additional information and access to resources on budgeting, saving, borrowing and debt is a natural extension.

The benefits of offering education about financial well-being education are plenty.

For employers, there is higher productivity, higher employee morale, lower absenteeism, and lower healthcare costs.

For employees, there is greater job satisfaction, better appreciation and use of employee benefits plans, better overall mental wellness, and increased financial well-being.

The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada (FCAC) can help employers help their employees through its website that is designed to help people better understand, and manage, their money.

All you need is love this Valentine’s Day PRAIRIE WOOL HELEN ROW TOEWS

“All you need is love.

But a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt.” – Charles M. Schultz Valentine’s Day is here. A day devoted to demonstrating our love with fancy cards, special meals, and the purchase of expensive gifts (as promoted by chain stores and the makers of fine jewelry). However, if anyone (Tom) is interested, I’m with Charles Schultz on this, so fork over the chocolate.

Looking back in time, I can recall the first date I ever had. He was older, drove a splashy sport car and lived in Edmonton. A man of the world, he appeared suave and debonair as he entered the health food store where I worked to ask for directions. Spotting me, as I stood in a pool of golden sunshine, clasping a beneficial bottle of cal-

cium in my lily-white hands, he was overcome by...oh rats. In truth I was slumped in a back room grinding a jar of organic peanut butter.

Despite this unromantic setting, Rick and I chatted and he asked me to dinner, on Valentine’s Day. At the appointed time his Trans Am purred into our yard. I greeted him outside where he offered me a weak smile and a limp hand.

“Does it always smell like this on a farm?” he asked, shivering in his pressed slacks and stylish leather jacket; the perfect picture of urbanity and we alth.

I drew an evaluating breath. The air was crisp and fresh with just the faintest hint of cow manure floating in on an icy breeze.

“What smell?” I parried, shrugging in my aged feather jacket and jeans worn-down at the heel; the perfect picture of simplicity and thrift.

I clomped past him to the vehicle, but Rick

leapt ahead to swing the door wide. This was strange. No one had ever opened a car door for me. Well, to be fair, a similar situation happened once before when the handle on our halfton froze shut and dad wrestled it loose. “Now quit fooling around and get in!” he’d said irritably. “You’re letting all the heat out.” On second thought – I’m wrong. That wasn’t the same sort of thing at all.

Anyway, we arrived at the restaurant, took our seats, and Rick handed me the menu with a flourish. He was on familiar ground now.

I wasn’t. We’re talking about a girl whose only experience with classy restaurants and fine dining, involved establishments of a drivein nature, where waitresses hung plastic trays of tinfoil wrapped burgers on the truck window. Nervously I asked him to order for me. He did, decisively, and then listened as the server bent to ask

me what salad dressing I preferred. With a face flushing red as the honey-roasted beets on a nearby plate, my mind raced. There were choices? Was there anything in the whole wide world besides the matchless Miracle Whip? Dressings concocted by the French, people on some bizarre ranch, hidden in a valley, or the nameless inhabitants of a thousand islands, did not exist in my world.

And so I muddled through, the evening drew to a close and we parted; he going his way (along the affluent highway of big business, high society and success) and I mine (down an impoverished gravel road of bus driving, yowling children and lack). He couldn’t possibly be as happy as I am!

Have a great Valentine’s Day.

Raiders basketball teams settle for silver Rustlers JAMIE HARKINS WRITER

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

The Holy Rosary High School (HRHS) Raiders senior boys and girls basketball teams may not be happy with silver, but they’re appreciative of belongi n g t o c l ub s h e adin g toward gold.

The Raiders senior girls soared past the Paradise Hill School Panthers and the Evan Hardy Collegiate Souls in their first two games

of the HRHS Invitational Tournament this past weekend before suffering a come-frombehind 63-55 defeat to the Saskatoon Christian School Cougars.

The boys rolled over the Souls and the Camrose Composite High School Trojans in their opening contests only to drop a 92-82 decision to the Winston Churchill School Bulldogs in the championship match on Saturday

night.

“We’ve been getting consolation for the past few weeks, so I think it’s a good learning experience to get to play against a really good team,” said Raiders senior girls point guard Angela Erni. “We’re going to Wetaskiwin in two weeks and this is a good stepping stone for us.”

The girls roared to a 22-12 lead over the Cougars in the first quarter, but their opponents battled back in the second to narrow the advantage to 35-31 by the half. Erni forced a turnover deep in Saskatoon Christian’s zone for an easy bucket early in the second half before upping the lead on a strong drive to the basket.

The p l ay t u rne d at the start of the fourth quarter with MacKenzie Masich and MacKenzie Fredlund hitting a couple of jumpers each to pull Saskatoon Christian in front 53-52. Erni made good on a foul shot and another layup late, but that couldn’t match up with the Cougars’ newfound momentum.

“We just didn’t take advantage of our offensive opportunities,” she said. “We were playing good defense. It’s just the shots weren’t falling and we were taking bad shots.”

The Raiders senior boys battled back and forth with the Bulldogs through the first two quarters leading to a 46-41 disadvantage at the half, but their opponents came out firing in the third to pull ahead for good. The home side stepped up defensively in the final frame and pulled within two points late before running out of time.

“For me, I don’t like getting silvers,” said

Raiders senior boys guard Nate Villar. “ T h at j u s t p i sse s me off. I really want to get that gold.”

Villar said they’ll attempt to capture that elusive first-place finish this weekend when they travel to Morinville for a tournament.

He said the Raiders senior boys and girls will then travel to Fort McMurray in early March for the zone playoffs.

“We’re pretty confident about going to zones,” he said.

“We have a coup l e o f go o d sh o o te rs and quick guys. We just need to work on defense more.”

Hunger, scoring, strength, rebounding and a commitment to defence leads the Lakeland College Rustlers men’s basketball team onto the court.

The Rustlers starting five of point guard Adrian Richards, power forward Artavis Holiday, shooting guard Brandon Isaac, small forward Rashon Russell and centre Abraham Murray greet their opponents with fast paced and hard-nosed basketball every contest during the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) season. The players are looking to increase that intensity this Feb. 28 to March 2 when Lakeland College hosts the ACAC men’s basketball championships.

“We’re our biggest competitor,” said Richards, who is averaging 15.4 points and 31 minutes through 20 starts with the Rustlers.

PWM Steelers get the better of Chiefs JAMIE HARKINS WRITER

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

A power play firing on all cylinders ensured the Lloydminster PWM midget AAA Steelers of a successful return to league play following the high of winning a Female World Sport School Challenge (FWSSC) gold medal.

“Honestly we don’t really stick to doing much,” said Steelers right wing Kelsey Hall, who blasted Red Deer Sutter Fund Chiefs goalie Chantelle Sandquist’s water bottle off the top of her net for the game-winner 36 seconds into the third period.

“We work really well with each other and we talk lots, but we have no specific plays that we do. We just make it work I guess.”

The Steelers (195-1) weathered an early Chiefs (9-153) push and a quick Aryn Chambers score

against at the Servus Sports Centre on Sunday afternoon thanks to the steady play of netminder Molly Mitchell.

Steelers left wing Taylor Wilkinson tied the contest on the power play midway through the first period when she slammed a Brooklyn Palmer

rebound up and over a scrambling Sandquist.

Wilkinson noted their recent prowess with the man advantage, counting two markers on the PP in a 3-1 home win against the Chiefs 24 hours earlier, is giving the team a ton of momentum. She said the goals

get them up on the bench and give them a lift on the ice.

Chiefs forward Kallie Clouston fired a pass to linemate Sage Sansregret for a backdoor attempt five minutes into the second period, but Mitchell rose to the challenge stretching out her pad for the low corner stop. Hall potted the 2-1 marker early in the third on a drive from the red line.

“We just wanted to get past the five games and jetlag,” said Hall, about their focus upon returning from playing at the prestigious FWSSC tournament in Winnipeg earlier this month. “Coming back was tough. And we were right back in the swing of things, but we’re happy with how this weekend went.”

Wilkinson said they faced some of the best teams in Western Canada at the FWSSC including the host

St. Mary’s Academy Flames and Manitoba’s top-ranked Winnipeg Avros. She said they worked as a team to win the gold medal, which will remain their goal through the final month of the Alberta Midget Female Hockey League and heading into playoffs.

“We’re more of a threat now,” added Hall. “People are afraid

to play us because they know we’ve just won a championship. We played a fivegame tournament, so we’re ready for provincials when we get there. We’re going to be in shape and we’ll be ready each game. We faced a lot of adversity down there as well and that speaks a lot about our character and what we can do as a team.”

Rustlers want the fans loud JAMIE HARKINS WRITER

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

The Lakeland College Rustlers men’s basketball team needs your support.

The Rustlers are looking to win a provincial gold medal on home court when they host the Alberta Colleges Athletic Association (ACAC) men’s basketball championships from Feb. 28 to March 2.

The coaching staff and players believe they have the right people in place to win out at the eight-team tournament, but they’re also counting on a boisterous home crowd to help push them through.

“Gold medal, we’re trying to get that done,” said Rustlers fourthyear power forward Artavis Holiday. “We just want to get a big fan base for our provincials. We like it loud and we’re at home, so we expect it to be loud.”

Holiday helped lead the Rustlers to a sil-

ver medal finish at the 2018 ACAC finals, which marked another step forward for the club.

He noted they enjoyed good chemistry last year in comparison to their usual lose, win and meaningless third game showing at previous championships thanks to a solid slate of returning starters along with a secondary who knew their roles and what was needed to secure the win.

“We have a few core guys still here,” he added. “We have some new guys that are starting to jell. We’re just trying to improve.”

Sheray Thomas, head coach of the Rustlers, said their ACAC finals committee has been hard at work trying to obtain sponsorships, drum up community support and prepare

a comfortable stay for each competing team since Lakeland College was awarded the tournament last spring.

He said they aren’t sure how many people will descend on the Border City for the three-day event, but the expectation is most of the ACAC North Division teams will bring along a fan base for support which they’re hoping to match and exceed.

“This is a special event,” said Thomas.

“It’s the top eight teams in the province that are fighting for one bid to nationals this year.

We hope the fans are going to come out and see some great basketball, some good teams and some of the teams that are ranked in Canada. So, if they’re looking for a good show and pretty much a cheap

event then come out.

And we definitely hope that they want to support us.”

Holiday said the crowds at Lethbridge College for the 2018 ACAC finals were pretty wild even though most of the support wasn’t directed their way. He said they have a growing base of fans at home starting with their fellow students at Lakeland College and moving out to the kids they work with at basketball camps to their supporters in the greater community, so they want to show their appreciation by putting on a good show.

“If we’re going to go out, we’re going to go out in the right way with gold,” said Holiday. “Last year we finished with silver. But, it’s always the goal to win gold.”

“We’re just trying to go against each other hard in practice,” added Richards “We know if we go hard in practice then no one can really stop us.”

Richards, Holiday and Isaac represent the Rustlers leadership as third and fourthyear players. Russell and Murray are both in their second year of college sports eligibility with the former

spending last season as a member of the Sault C o lleg e C o ug ars and the latter choosing to move to the Border City after a rookie campaign with the Olds College Broncos.

“Coming here, it’s a better fit,” said Russell, the team’s timeon-court leader at 34.3 minutes per game.

“I like working with everybody and we all work well. I guess there’s better chemistry

then there was at my last school.”

Murray, who can regularly be found battling for possession against the opposition big men at the low post, said the Rustlers provided a chance to play. He said the veterans welcomed him in, they all compliment each other well during games and everyone is held accountable for what they bring on and off the court.

“These guys help coach the team camps too,” said Isaac, who is shooting 29 per cent from behind the arc this season. “We always try to be positive in the community when we wear our sweater.”

Holiday, the Rustlers

points-per-game and rebound leader, said the hardwood at Lakeland College is where they’ve sacrificed sweat and blood since last August to prepare for these upcoming championships. He said they want to improve on

their 2018 silver-medal finish and the chance to accomplish that feat in front of their hometown fans will be electrifying.

“We’re coming for the heights,” said Richards. “We’re hungry to get gold this time.”

Pride of the Prairies joins the century club TAYLOR WEAVER WRITER

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

A long-standing tradition in the Border City, the Lloydminster Exhibition Association’s Pride of the Prairies Bull Show and Sale is celebrating 100 years next month.

Top quality bulls from a variety of breeds in both pen and halter formats featuring everything from Black Angus, Charolais, Simmental, Red Angus and Polled and Horned Herefords will be strutting their stuff at the Exh from March 2-4 with the auction taking centre stage on March 4 at 1 p.m.

Saturday will feature the Justamere Progress Steer and Heifer Junior Show at 3 p.m. followed by the GMACK Progress Steer and Heifer Open Show at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday.

“It’s been a pillar in our community for the past 100 years and for our association it’s one

Lloydminster Exhibition Association Ag Manager Sydney Lake sports some of the 100th Anniversary merchandise available for order at this year’s Pride of the Prairies Bull Sale, taking place at the Lloydminster Exh from March 2-4.

of the major events that we’ve done for an extended period of time. Lots of our events here have come and went but this is one where one weekend in March is always Pride of the Prairies,” said Ag manager Sydney Lake.

“I think it really cul-

tivates community and there’s lots of tradition around here with many generations who have come here for the sale and it’s a big part of the ag work we do here.”

Lake added how the sale does more than just offer some of the best stock in the area

as it also helps boost local seed stock as producers bring the best they have available to market, something that’s very crucial for the local cattle industry.

“It’s great to see how the breeds have evolved and the trends in cattle have changed over the 100 years.”

This year’s slogan is “Tradition Lives Here,” a phrase that is personified by the deep roots and history the sale has within the community and local economy.

“I think it really demonstrates the community connection and how the whole ag industry comes together for those couple of days, and it’s really cool to see that networking and those relationships that are built here and t h a t h ave b e e n b u il t here over the last 100 years,” she said.

“So we wouldn’t be where we are today

without all that work people who came before us did, the consigners, the buyers, the sales staff, the staff here, as well as the committee that’s done a ton of work to make this event go.

“A hundred years is a long time and I think the other longest running sale is the Calgary sale and I believe it’s in its 120th year, and it’s also a consigner-type

sale, which isn’t very common anymore, so it’s pretty unique that we have kept it going for as long as we have here.”

The sale attacks buyers and sellers from all over but one added bonus for buyers is the fact the auction is broadcast live online so buyers who couldn’t make it to the Border City can still put in bids.

It’s not exactly enjoy a day at the lake weather out there MIDWEST MINUTE VERN McCLELLAND

I have lots of natural insulation, but baby it’s cold outside.

We are in the middle of -40 or better wind chill.

So why do lake property owners, year in, year out, choose this time of year to call about placing a value on it?

Doesn’t make any sense to me, but hey, we are called to serve.

In my opinion, the two hardest properties for a realtor to sell are the home quarter and the family cabin.

Both are emotionally charged transactions and the owners want to be compensated for the pain (or guilt) they are feeling.

About half the listings involves building consensus amongst two, even three, generations.

The appraisal principles for lake property are much the same as we would use for any single-family home, except for the location considerations.

We do our best to use the sale of comparable properties, adding and subtracting the quality or size of the attributes, but it is not easy as many cabins have an original structure, with additions over the years.

Size does matter at the lake.

A lakefront setting, the length of shoreline is a significant factor as it determines the amount of unrestricted view from the front deck.

A row or two back,

the total square footage comes into play, mainly to support either a garage for the toys, or room for a guest’s RV, or both.

But back to my brushes with family decision making.

Half the time the one making the most fuss about not selling is the one least likely to involved in seasonally maintaining the property or contributing to its annual cost.

OLSEN: Leanor Joyce Olsen, beloved wife of Victor Olsen passed away peacefully on December 23, 2018 at the Pioneer House in Lloydminster at the age of 68 years.

Leanor was born on October 4, 1950 in Looma Alberta to Gus and Alma Wesenberg. She was the younger sister to George and Martin.

The funeral service in memory of Leanor was conducted from the Neilburg Community Hall, Neilburg, Saskatchewan on Friday, December 28, 2018 at 1:00 pm with Kevin Cowan, Annette Beach and Peter Hawkins officiating.

The eulogy was given by

JERRY VERMETTE

DEC. 14, 1948 – FEB. 15, 2014 His memory is as dear today, As in the hour he passed away.

Sadly missed and remembered by: his loving wife, Jeannine

Colin Brodie.

The pianist was Cheryl Lumley.

The pallbearers were Brandon Sargeant, Jason Roznowski, Stevie Postnikoff, Cody Beckett, Joel Neumann and Kirk Russell.

The guest register were Garry and Helen McChesney and Doug and Deb Leflar.

In 1959, Leanor made her choice to serve God in gospel meetings being held by Mildred Ausenhus and Ruth Lindman and then was later baptized in 1963.

After leaving school, Leanor resided in Edmonton and then Claresholm, Alberta until she met Victor at Greenshields convention and they were married on August 19, 1977. Victor and Leanor came to reside at the family farm north of Neilburg where they built their home. It was here that they had two children, Wendy and Lawrence. They resided

on the farm until 2008 when they moved into Lloydminster.

During this time, Leanor had a tax franchise in Lloydminster until she opened her own business in Neilburg in 1991. In 2000 she started working at Brannick and Blanchard and remained there until September 2018. Victor and Leanor have had the privilege of a Sunday fellowship meeting in their home since 2000. Leanor had a special love for those that they met with for fellowship. They have always enjoyed having a home where family and friends felt welcome.

In May 2017 Leanor was diagnosed with breast cancer and completed a year of treatments. In September 2018 it was discovered that she had brain cancer. The last remaining weeks were spent in the Lloydminster hospital and the Pioneer House where she passed away peacefully with

family by her side.

Leanor was predeceased by her mother and father Gus and Alma Wesenburg; her father in-law Fred Olsen; her sister in-law Donna Wesenberg; and brothers in-law Keith Olsen and Ross Olsen. She is survived by her husband Victor; daughter Wendy (Shane) Stafford, Amy and Ella; son Lawrence (Julie) Olsen, Brennan, Colby and Brielle; brothers George and Martin; mother in-law Dora Olsen; and numerous relatives.
