Pawsibilities are endless for Kashlyn TAYLOR WEAVER
EDITOR
..................................
As a parent, the hope is your kids will grow up having a normal and happy childhood, but sometimes that’s much easier said than done. For Lloydminster mother, Taryn Bone, 25, her daughter Kashlyn and partner Brock Richardson, 28, the past four years have been anything short of easy. Kashlyn, who turns four in May, has been in and out of hospital since she was only five months old due to a string of medical issues. After years of medical care and multiple diagnoses, Kashlyn’s doctors recommended a service dog. “When she was five months old she was referred to the Stollery and was diagnosed with Bilateral Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, which was then later upgraded to Septo-Optic Dysplasia, so she’s technically legally blind right now,” said Taryn. “We say that she’s visually impaired because she can see, we just don’t know how much. She’s also miss-
ing part of her brain and her pituitary gland, so it screws with her hormones a bit. She was also just diagnosed with Autism as well, so all of her doctors recommended getting her a service dog to help with her behaviour problems.” Kashlyn’s stepfather, Brock, explained she has lots of energy, but it comes in waves. “You know when you see someone who’s really happy and then they crash? That’s how it hits her, but it’s 10 times worse, so her downs are really hard on her, to the point it’s really hard to get her happy again.” “When she gets down she gets really aggressive, to the point where she’ll do anything to hurt anybody, as well as herself, so, the doctors are hoping a service dog will help get in the middle of everything and stop her temper tantrum’s and just calm her down,” added Taryn. The cost of a service dog is $25,000 plus $5,000 to cover daily costs and hotels when they travel to Edmonton
to Kashlyn to train with the dog. “We’ve already raised $16,000,” said Taryn last Friday morning. “We’ve only been fundraising for three weeks through donations as well as a bottle drive that brought in $6,000. “Another guy, Heath Rice, owner of Metal & Mayhem Welding & Fabrication, is doing a silent auction right now on Facebook. We’re getting donations coming in and he’s been posting them, but we’re hoping that will bring us to our final amount.” There is no deadline as to when the funds have to be raised, but the sooner the family has the money, the sooner Kashlyn can get a dog. “I’ve already paid the initial $5,000 fee to sign the contract, and then it’s $10,000 the first year, $10,000 the second year, but the sooner it’s paid the sooner she could potentially get a service dog.” A GoFundMe page has been set up for Kashlyn and can be found by searching Endless Pawsibilities

for Kashlyn. There is also an e-transfer account set up and donations can be sent to kashlyn2017@ gmail.com. “They said the latest it would be would be a year and a half for her to get a dog, and the soonest would be six
months, but they said to plan for a year and a half from now,” said Taryn. The Lloydminster Kiwanis Club also contributed to Kashlyn’s cause last Friday with a cheque for $1,000. Kashlyn’s service dog, who she plans to name
“Purple Dog,” will be trained to be 20 per cent guide dog and 80 per cent Autism dog, but Taryn and Brock believe there is a 100 per cent chance this dog will help a beautiful young girl have somewhat of a “normal” childhood.

Public health measures extended to March 19 MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
The Government of Saskatchewan’s current public health order will remain in effect until March 19. Public health officials will continue to monitor COVID-19 transmission trends throughout this period. Details on the current public health measures are available at www.saskatchewan.ca/ covid19-measures. There were 22 COVID-19 vaccine doses administered on Tuesday in Saskatchewan, bringing the total number of vaccines administered in the province to 49,841. With this, 107 per cent of the doses received have been administered to date. This overage is due to efficiencies in drawing extra doses from vials of vaccine received.
Due to the Family Day stat holiday, there has been delayed reporting for Feb. 15 vaccine administration. The 22 doses reported to date were administered in the North East zone. The South East zone has reported an additional 10 doses administered on Feb. 12. There are 136 new cases of COVID-19 to re p o rt i n Sa skatc h e wan on Feb. 16, bringing the provincial total to 26,829 cases. The below information provides a detailed breakdown of the 136 new cases reported on Feb. 16 and the 143 cases reported on Feb. 15. Three Saskatchewan residents who tested positive for COVID-19 have died. One death was reported in the 40-49 age group from the Far
North West zone, one death was reported in the 80+ age group from the Far North West zone and one death was reported in the 50-59 age group from the North West zone, which is where the Border City is situated. The new cases are reported on Feb. 15 and 16 are located in the Far North West (22), Far North Central (5), Far North East (10), North West (44), North Central (22), North East (17), Saskatoon (69), Central West (9), Central East (9), Regina (62), South Central (4) and South East (2) zones and four (4) new cases have pending residence information.

WRITER
.................................. Paradise Valley ranchers Dwaine and Lana Bleakley can see themselves whooping it up in a new country music video until the cows come home. The couple pulls off rowdy roles at a barn dance in the video “Loretta’s Moonshine,” released by their country singer friend, Tracy Millar, on her YouTube channel in January. It got more than 1,000 views in the first week and shows Millar’s husband, Shane Thomson, as the bass guitar player in the band and the Bleakleys doing their thing. There are glimpses of Dwaine receiving a face slap at a bar from 81-year-old Loretta Schneider, who the song is named after, then losing at arm wrestling, while Lana is seen dancing on tables. “People had a good chuckle over it,” said Dwaine.
“Our granddaughters love it and have watched it several times with us too. It was a fun, new thing. It was just over a one-weekend shoot and it worked out very well.” The single from Millar’s EP “I’m Not 29 No More” is now available on all streaming platforms. “We hear it quite o ften o n 840 C F C W. I don’t know if Lloydminster has picked it up yet,” said Dwaine. The video for Loretta’s Moonshine was produced last summer in a red barn near Buck Lake, owned by mutual friends Rick and Brenda Miller, whose elderly mom practiced her face slapping skills with Dwaine. “That was scripted,” said Millar. “She just got really into her role. She said ‘are you kidding me, I couldn’t miss the chance to slap that you-know-what;’ it was all in fun because they are good friends,”
she said. “Everyone that’s in that video is somebody that we know. That for me is what’s so special about it.” Another Paradise Valley couple, Sandy and Janet Wilson, also had background roles in the video. “It all goes by so quick. We’ve watched it several times and we’re still seeing people that we know,” said Dwaine. Millar says her videographer called it epic and noted he couldn’t have paid actors and actresses to do what her friends did naturally. As for the Bleakleys, she said, “I think they’re born naturals.” “Dwaine is through and through, he’s a cowboy. It’s his lifestyle; it’s who he is and it wasn’t hard for him to get in that role.”
Their friendship clicked from the getgo when Millar and her husband came to the Paradise Valley Ag Society fair one year to compete in chuckwagon races and met them at an apres dance. She says she approached Dwaine about possibly playing in the fair the next year because she knew he was on the board, and he said absolutely. “I phoned him the next January about possibly playing the next Paradise Valley fair and they hired me and we’ve been friends ever since,” said Millar. “You know what, they are just our kind of people. We are all countryfolk and we love the same things.” That includes backcountry horseback riding and lo and behold,
the couples bumped into each other one day at a riding camp near
Ya Ha Tinda Ranch trails. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

“We had no idea these guys came here, then they invited us to go on a horseback ride the following spring and we’ve been making it a yearly-event since,” said Millar. “That’s how we met the Millers who are the owners of the barn. We’ve just become amazing friends with all of them; I think it was just common interests that brought
us all together.” Millar says she was supposed to return to Paradise Valley last summer to perform, but COVID-19 got in the way of that and her music. “I did two gigs last year and that was it,” she said, but hopes to come back soon. “I love Paradise Valley and it’s a beautiful place. We’ve certainly struck up some beautiful friendships
as a result of us going out there on the chuckwagon circuit years ago and it’s just grown from there.” Millar is also a nurse in the Camrose area and has been writing and performing songs for more than 20 years. She is also on the final ballot of the CMA (Country Music Al be r ta ) no mi na ti o n for the Fan’s Choice Award to be announced on Feb. 28.

Life turns peachy for pitcher GEOFF LEE
WRITER
.................................. Holy Rosary High School athlete Sophie Kreese has Georgia on her mind. The Grade 12 student will suit up to play softball with the East Georgia State College Bobcats this fall on a scholarship. “I’m a pitcher; it’s in Swainsboro Georgia and I’m going to take a Bachelor of Arts in psychology,” she said in one breath prior to a signing ceremony in the school gym last Thursday. The media event served as a photo op and a chance for Kreese to describe her reaction to learning she’d been accepted as a freshman and a key member of the Bobcats in the Peach State. “It was crazy; like I’ve been dreaming of this since I was seven years old,” said Kreese. “With COVID I didn’t know how it was going to go, and it ended up happening. I am so excited and I’m so grateful to all my coaches. It’s been amazing.” Kreese has been a NCSA (next college student athlete) recruit since the age of 15. She describes herself as a 5’8” right handed pitcher who played for the Lloydminster Rebels and Liners A team who is “open to playing the highest competitive level according to my potential.” Kreese was sold on attending Georgia State by the strong support she received from Bobcats coach Charles Wimberly. “He was just the best. He had a Zoom call with me; he made me feel I was his priority. He let me talk to some of the girls and hooked me up with other recruits,” said Kreese. She said it felt like home so she verbally committed to the scholarship a couple of weeks ago. Another student, Haylee Rogers will suit up with the Lakeland College Rustlers women’s
soccer team, but she was unable to take part in the ceremonial event. Holy Rosary’s athletic director, Ashley Fullarton who last coached Rogers in Grade 10, had nothing but good words to say about the soccer prodigy. “Haylee’s been an amazing soccer player and a very large contributor to our soccer program since she’s been in Grade 8, so we’re very proud that she’s able to take it to the next level,” said Fullarton. Kreese credits local softball coach Donnie Atkinson for helping her stay sharp during COVID and training with the 222’s out of Saskatchewan. “We were still able to do cohorts and get our practicing in, it’s been amazing,” she said. The only downside for her is not being able to
practice outdoors every day like her teammates can in Georgia. “So it’s a little intimidating— I’m coming from somewhere we can’t do that, but I think it’s all about work ethic and I am working hard to keep up with them,” she said. Kreese has no worries being the
only Canadian on the team or feeling like an outsider, knowing her teammates are from all over the U.S. CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Kiwanis music fest goes virtual for 2021 21023DA0
TAYLOR WEAVER
EDITOR
..................................
“ Child r en not only make beautiful music, but music makes beautiful children,” that’s the buzz phrase around town as the Kiwanis Lloydminster and District Music Festival is set to host their firstever virtual music fest. “Last year just days before doing our scheduling, we were shut down,” said festival president Kerry Taylor. “Last year was a heartbreak. We were so close to festival time and these children had been working so hard. They had done the work, and kids were in tears; I was in tears.” Taylor also noted last year’s festival would have seen the highest attendance in years with 822 entries, which worked out to roughly 2,300 children. “We had 24 or 25 school bands and they’re 30-50 kids per band, so the number of kids in Lloydminster who are involved in the festival is just tremendous,” she said. “We are, per capita, KREESE FROM PAGE 5
“I’ve met them over social media and on Zoom, but that’s been about it, but I think I’m going to make some great friends,” she said. The signing ceremony also shined a spotlight on the school’s football coach and principal, Vince Orieux, for his award of merit from Football Alberta. Tim Enger, executive director of Football Alberta, says the award was created only for 2020 to replace the usual Coach of the Year
probably the highest entry in the province. We are only behind Regina and Saskatoon whose populations are well above ours, and we had over 800 entries compared to their 1,500, so per capita, Lloydminster is very well-represented in the festival.” For this year’s virtual competition, children will videotape their own performance and upload their link for adjudicator critique. Performance videos will not be made public, however, a link will be provided to each student so he or she may share with who they choose. “We’re going to have a morning and afternoon session for day one, two, three, four, whatever it takes, and at that time the adjudicator will have access to the files, view that group of kids and make their comments,” said Taylor. “The kids will have a chance to read those comments, and the adjudicator will announce who they’re awarding first and second place to.”
Entries are now open and close on Feb. 28. Registration forms can be found at www. lloydmusicfest.com, and the official kickoff for the festival in Lloydminster is April 18. “I think we’ll still see a great number of souls, but because of COVID restrictions, it’s going to limit some of the people from being eligible,” said Taylor. “We will also have a venue supplied for those who, maybe they’re a child that is playing on a really old piano at home or a keyboard and they don’t feel their instrument is up to snuff, we have made arraignments for them to be able to come to one of the churches in town to use their facilities, using COVID rules. They’ll have to wear a mask, so I don’t think we’ll have any singers there.” The Kiwanis Lloydminster and District Music Festival starts with a class for kids aged five and under and six and under and accepts entries from students up to age 27.
honours due to COVID. It recognizes those who worked through the restrictions and went above and beyond to give their football players some semblance of normalcy last year. “Vince did that in spades with regular practices for Holy Rosary and an exhibition game at the end of the season, all within AHS and Football Alberta guidelines,” said Enger. Enger noted Holy Rosary was the only
school in the Wheatland league to do so and Orieux was nominated by his team for this award. “It was nice to get recognized for the work we put in. My name’s on it, but really, it’s a reflection of everybody on the coaching staff,” said Orieux. “We put in all kinds of time as the adults, but the kids put in as much time as we do so they can be better. Our program just gets stronger every year because of it,” he said.

Young bearish on EV incentives
GEOFF LEE
WRITER
.................................. SaskEV wants the
province to change its Prairie Resilience climate change plan to
include a consumer incentive to buy electric vehicles (EVs).
Lloy d minst e r MLA Colleen Young, however, thinks the suggestion from the Saskatoonbased EV advocate isn’t realistic at this time. “In a day like today or the last week where it’s been -50C, oil and gas is still a pretty strong investment to be pushing in this province,” Young said on Feb. 12. “Nothing runs without oil and gas, including the motors on any windmills that are out there.” SaskEv points to polling data reported by Global News last week showing 58 per cent support from respondents in Manitoba and Saskatchewan in tune with federal government rebates of up to $5,000 through dealers. The Saskatoon-based group also wants the province to work with SaskPower and other utilities to spur the development of fastcharging stations. They note the lack of charging infrastructure
was cited as a concern by poll respondents. “To think that we’re going to go that strongly toward electric vehicles and solar and wind, I think we’re not ready to be there,” said Young. “We’re not there in this province to make that big an investment that isn’t reliable enough for the types of weather we have in this province.” Young thinks the limited range of electric vehicle batteries in the prairie climate makes EVs impractical for long-distance driving. “Last week, I had to go from here to Regina at -51 below. I don’t think a Tesla car would have got me there,” said Young. SaskEV estimates there are roughly 4,987 electrified vehicles on the road right now, including hybrids, and more to come. The polling data also showed 20 per cent of respondents are interested in a plug-in elec-
tric vehicle for their next purchase, 21 per cent are interested in a hybrid and 14 per cent were unsure. This news comes as GM announced plans earlier in the month to sell only zero-emission vehicles by 2035. Data from SaskPower and SGI list Saskatoon as the top community for plug-in models in the province with 271 vehicles and a 42 per cent share, despite weak fast-charge support. The top plug-in vehicle brand in the province was Tesla capturing 37 per cent of the total plug-in market and 62 per cent of the all-electric provincial fleet with 237 vehicles. Chevrolet, Hyundai, Mitsubishi and Toyota rounded out the top five. Regina had 164 vehicles and 25 per cent of the market with Moose Jaw, Martensville and Warman representing the remainder of the top five. CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Leeway from Lloyd: Electric vehicle sales up in SK STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE
SaskEv, an electric vehicle information portal in Saskatoon, reports there were 382 fullelectric vehicles in Saskatchewan in the latest November data. Combined with 226 extended-range and plug-in hybrids, there were 648 plug-in vehicles in the province at the time. With 4,339 hybrid vehicles, there are about 4,987 electrified vehicles in the province, with more to come. Just about every car maker these days is promoting EVs, so the trend to electric is here to stay. SaskPow e r re p ort s there are more than 93,000 electric vehicles
in Canada. Let’s hope mass production and sales make these vehicles more affordable for all consumers. The pricey Tesla is the top choice for consumers in Saskatchewan. A new Tesla sales centre recently opened in Saskatoon to keep the trend going. The federal government has a purchase incentive of up to $5,000 for new electric vehicles right now to ease the sticker shock of some of these EVs. A new product incentive is the arrival of portable chargers including one from Tesla that a driver can access from a service truck to charge whenever it’s required. New fast-charging stations are also popping
11
up in the province with a couple of new ones slated for North Battleford in 2021. A fresh industry report from Ireland forecasts the global electric vehicle charging station market size will reach 30,758 units by 2027, from an estimated 2,115 units in 2020. Also helping to drive the growth of EVs is the current ability of the supply market to meet the demand for lithium used for batteries. Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, however, is forecasting total global lithium demand for all applications will increase to over 400,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent in 2021.

Money Matters CPP & OAS Benefits – When to Pull the Trigger ERICA V.N. O’GRADY SPECIAL TO THE MERIDIAN SOURCE
..................................
If you are approaching retirement you may be wondering if you have enough money saved to support yourself long after you’ve stopped working full time. The trick to financial planning is analyzing your own unique circumstances and not just following a boxed plan off the shelf. One of the things to start thinking about is maximizing your government benefits and the timing of when to receive those payments. There are lots of people who want to take advantage of these pensions as soon as they become available, but
the government will pay you more if you wait. So, what works best for you? Canada Pension Plan (CPP) • Before age 65 CPP payments decrease by 0.6 per cent each month or 7.2 per cent per year. Up to a maximum reduction of 36 per cent at age 60. • After age 65 CPP payments increased by 0.7 per cent each month or 8.4 per cent per year. Up to a maximum increase of 42 per cent at age 70. This means waiting to claim benefits from age 60 until age 70 will increase your benefits 122 per cent - A monthly benefit of $500 at age 60 will increase to a monthly benefit of
$1,110 if you wait until age 70. Old Age Security (OAS) • While you can’t get OAS payments before age 65, you can put them off until you’re 70. This is new since 2018. Payments increase 0.6 per cent each month or 7.2 per cent per year you delay receiving OAS. Up to a maximum increase of 36 per cent at age 70. •If you make over $79,054 in 2020 while you’re getting OAS, you may have to repay some, if not all, of it. This is commonly known as the OAS clawback. For every dollar over, your OAS benefit is clawed back by 15 cents. This clawback
threshold also changes every year, so make sure to keep informed. Although it’s common to get the maximum OAS payment, most Canadians don’t get the maximu m CPP/QPP. That’s because they haven’t earned enough or worked long enough. When you reach 60 and are thinking about these decisions, it’s good to use the Canadian Retirement Income calculator (Canada.ca) or to set up a My Services Account to determine your exact CPP benefits at any age. Playing the waiting game can pay off, but is it the right choice for you? The decision also depends on your health and your other sources
of retirement income. Can you support your lifestyle with existing retirement savings, or do you need access to that cash? The average life expectancy for Canadians is age 80 for men and 84 for women. The reality is that if you know you’re not healthy or you’ve had health issues throughout your life, then it doesn’t make sense to defer. The break-even point on deferral to age 70 is around a life expectancy of age 84. But retirement planning to age 83 and living to 90 also has its disadvantages. And of course, tax consequences are a piece of the puzzle. If you are generating a lot
of income in your 60s a nd be y o nd , I’d r e c ommend working with your accountant and financial advisor. Together, they can look for ways to spread out your income and avoid being in an old age clawback position or losing a significant portion of your benefits due to being in a higher tax bracket. Tax and retirement planning are even more significant when some of your assets or wealth are tied up in a holding company, registered tax deferral savings plans or the family farm. - Erica V.N.

Shriners promote burn awareness MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
It’s always the right time to take safety in the home seriously, but the Shriners Hospitals for Children always takes things one step further with its annual Burn Awareness Week. During this time, Shriners Hospitals for Children launches its annual burn awareness and prevention campaigns. Since the 1960s, Shriners Hospitals for Children has been a leader in burn care, research and education – and burn injury prevention is a key component in these efforts. This year’s Burn Awareness week, which ran from Feb. 7-13, kicked off a year-long education campaign at Shriner’s Hospitals for Children and aimed at burn awareness and prevention. Free education materials, available via beburnaware.org, are designed to be a resource for firefighters, teachers, parents and
others concern with the safety and well-bring of children. Building on the theme “Be Burn Aware,” Shriners work to prevent burn injuries in the home because that’s where most preventable burn injuries occur. Home are the sites of thousands of burn injuries to children every year, including scalds, fire-related injuries, and even electrical burns. “The most important point to remember is that many of these types of burns are preventable,” said David Greenhalgh, M.D., chief of burns at Shriners Hospitals for Children, Northern California. Consequently, educating parents and families about burn injuries and some simple safety precautions they can take is an important part of the mission of Shriners Hospitals for Children. The burn awareness campaign features two child-friendly characters, Boots and Brewster – a caped, cuddly
bear and a googly-eyed teapot – who are featured in activity books for children ages 3-7 and 8-12. The duo lead children through the various rooms a house, pointing out dangers, and how to easily correct or avoid them. The colouring pages, word searches, cartoons and other activities are designed to grab children’s attention and present the information in a memorable, age-appropriate manner. The campaign also features various tip sheets and fact cards, all available online. Most of the materials are available in French and Spanish. Shriners Hospitals has also created an animated video, Boots and Brewster: The Burn Awareness Pair, which kids are sure to enjoy. In the video, available at youtube. com/shrinershospitals, Boot and Brewster take viewers on a fun and educational adventure to help them become more burn aware. CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Bobcats find prospect with nose for the net
JAMIE HARKINS
WRITER
..................................
The AJHL season may be on pause, but that hasn’t stopped the Lloydminster Bobcats from adding to their
talent base. The Bobcats signed 17-year-old sharpshooter Chase Visser earlier this month. The versatile forward, who c an p lay o n the w all
and down the middle, will join his Border City teammates for the start of the 2021-22 season. “One of the biggest things with Chase is his leadership,” said Nigel Dube, head coach and general manager of the Bobcats. “We’re proud about where we’ve gotten our culture to and want to add to that. Obviously, he’s a big piece. Chase has been a leader the whole way through on all the teams he’s played for. His references speak very highly of him.” Visser, who hails

from Barrhead, Alta., recorded three goals and seven points in six games skating for the Alberta Elite Hockey League’s St. Albert U18AAA Raiders last fall. The five-foot-11 and
185-pound right shot enjoyed a breakout season two years earlier tallying 26 goals and 40 points in 34 games while a member of the Raiders U16AAA squad. Dube said scouting has proven to be a bit different this winter due to the small sample size of game action from the 2020-21 campaign, along with an inability to meet in person with potential recruits. He said the focus has shifted to watching lots of video as well as making phone calls to playe r s, ol d c o a c h e s and various close contacts to gauge who the per-
son is, what they can do on the ice and their potential abilities down the road. As in previous years, Dube noted the Bobcats are hoping to add more scoring to their lineup. He added they’ve taken a step in the right direction already and the offensive punch up front will get a few more weapons this winter, spring and summer. “I think moving forward every couple of weeks we’ll probably announce another signing,” he said. “We’re excited about the group we have and are continuing the work.”

Can’t wait for football season SPORTS EDITOR JAMIE HARKINS
I’ve decided to sortof discuss hope this week. Yes, that’s hope with a small h, though the beautiful B.C. town adorned with a capital does deserve a visit sometime. Hope has been the go-to feeling that has guided this writer’s actions over the past 11 months. There’s been hope that members of my family wouldn’t catch COVID, hope that a vaccine would be developed and prove effective, and hope that the hardships we as Canadians face through this pandemic would be overcome. Both Canadian Prime Minister Jus-
tin Trudeau and then United States President-elect Joe Biden stated a few months ago we would be entering a dark and tough winter.

There’s been hope that members of my family wouldn’t catch COVID, hope that a vaccine would be developed and prove effective, and hope that the hardships we as Canadians face through this pandemic would be overcome.
I’m happy to report February is almost
behind us and the spring is near. We might not be there just yet, but visions of footballs are already dancing in my head. I can’t wait to get outside for a bit of Steelers, Colts, Barons,
Raiders and Red Dogs action. And, I’m not even playing or coaching. On that note, are there any aged 35-plus football teams out there looking for a slow running below-average

Trudeau and Biden made their statements around the same time the CFL was presenting its Grey Cup Unite festivities instead of the actual game. The league cancelled its 2020 schedule due to the pandemic late last summer. Hope remains the 2021 season won’t suffer the same fate. The popular saying is ‘you don’t know
what you’ve got until it’s gone.’ I think the game of football kind of fell into that bin for me these past months. I’ve only been to a couple of Saskatchewan Roughriders and Ottawa Rough Riders games over the years. However, I have attended countless minor and high school matches. I love the sport. Football gives kids of every size and ability
a chance to succeed. It rewards hard work and determination. The game brings family and friends together like no other. I’m hoping the temperature heats up, the snow melts soon and the proper conditions prevail so kids can get back on the field this spring. After all, a day spent at Armstrong Field, the Raider Bowl or Rod Kirby Field is always a good day.

Agriculture is a critical industry for all Canadians, providing us with a nutritious food supply and healthy local produce. To help support these efforts, the government collects information
with the Census of Agriculture to provide a statistical portrait of our national agricultural and agri-food industry, as well as its farm operators and families. The 2021 questionnaire will have returning key content for ongoing trend analy-

New census to help farmers
FROM PAGE 17
New for the upcoming census, high-quality alternative data sources will be used when possible to reduce the time farmers must spend completing the questionnaire. For example, only those questions that
are relevant to each operator’s farm will be asked when filling out the online survey. Select questions may be replaced using alternative data sources when available and totals will automatically be calculated. This approach is part of an ongoing part of
Statistics Canada’s modernization initiative to move beyond a survey-first approach by replacing traditional surveys with alternative data such as Earth Observation data. This initiative has its goal to reduce the response burden on farmers while continu-

Being the oldest of six children came with immense responsibility, a duty he handled remarkably well benefiting him throughout his lifetime. He took his elementary education in Meadow Dew, his high schooling in Sylvan Hill and Hillmond then graduating from Paradise High School .During these years he worked at various odd jobs trying to earn some money for further schooling. Herman was a man who wore many hats. Early in his life he worked as a farm hand, then enrolled at Musker Engineering School in Winnipeg to begin his Welding Career. At this time he met a young John Diefenbaker, which became a highlight in his life. From him he received guidance, direction and encouragement which became valuable life lessons. Meanwhile he was employed by the Peace River School Division as a study supervisor at St. Augustine Mission until its closing in June. His next venture was as an auto mechanic apprenticing for Peace River Motors .From

there he returned to the hamlet of Hillmond where he took over a garage and hardware business. After four years, he decided to return to the welding world, this time as assistant in Dawson Creek, then back to Welding School at the Tech in Moose Jaw. During his welding career he saw much of B.C., Alberta and even North Bay Ont. working on the Trans Canada pipeline, then back to Fairview welding for a utility company. In 1960 Herman and Rosette were married. Eventually back to the business of auto mechanics, a short stint trucking for Red Earth Transport with his brother Fred and a his volunteering achievements, some of which included the Boy Scouts, Peace River Fire Department, which led to Fire Chief for many years as well as a certified First Aid instructor.

the Provincial Emergency Program Public Safety Lifeline in Creston In the words of Pastor Harry: “This humble man” will be missed by a community, many of whom may not have realized how significant he was to our well-being. One man hearing of his death recalled how he was a well-loved gentleman who was kind and gentle. Herman lived a full life, well prepared for eternity. He had a heart for the less fortunate. Today we are saying Good bye in a special way to a dear man who has been a blessing in your lives. He loved to work and volunteer. Ever a friendly gentleman, Herman greeted acquaintances and strangers with a quiet respect. You, his family knew him as a humble man, never gloating over his accomplishments. He has left you a legacy of integrity and honesty. He didn’t answer to someone else’s vision. Humble man that he was, Herman would acknowledge his shortcomings and his blind spots.” The family would like to extend a special thank you to Norman, to Shiela Neeland, to Olivers Funeral Home and to Pastor Harry for your part in organizing and delivering a special farewell for Herman.
