Families chill out at Winterfest GEOFF LEE
WRITER
.................................. A last-minute decision by the City of Lloydminster to shift Winterfest indoors was the right one for comfortable Family Day fun. Activities were centred at the Servus Sports Centre along with the Lloydminster Golf and Curling Centre and the Lloydminster Museum + Archives on a cold Monday. The call to move indoors came last Friday with a forecast of extreme cold conditions to start this week off. “Unfortunately, we had to cancel our outdoor activities just to keep everyone safe,” said recreation programmer Sandra Brown with the Servus Sports Centre. “Winterfest is at three locations and all the indoor activities are happening.” Brown said people are just so appreciative to participate in person after last year’s virtual Winterfest due to COVID gathering restrictions. “They just needed an event and it’s a great
way to spend Family Day together,” said Brown, noting L&A Chartered Professional Accountants is the presenting sponsor. “We have bounce houses, interactive games, public skating, you can hop on board a Zamboni and get your picture taken, a lot of musical entertainment, crafts and games up in the OTS room, and a selfie station.” There was also hot chocolate and coffee available for everyone. The event doubled as an opportunity for city officials to seek public input into the proposed $50.5 million Lloydminster Place event arena until March 5. “This is an excellent opportunity we’ve got today and in the next couple of weeks,” said Lloydminster Mayor Gerald Aalbers at the city’s Your Voice information display. “We’re going to be at the hockey games, at different events, wherever people are gathered to talk about the new Lloydminster Place.” Aalbers said he was just asked how much it will cost, why will the Civic Centennial Cen-
tre be torn down, why they are replacing it, and how people will the new arena seat. “So a lot of good questions from people,” he said about the opportunity. “We expect quite a few people. If we could get to a couple of hundred today, I’d be really happy.” Local residents Jeannine and Gerry Burns were among the people who took part in an online survey about Lloydminster Place, with checkbox choices about preferred events and amenities. “I think it’s wonderful for the community of Lloydminster,” said Jeannine. “It’s wonderful for the families to have new venues to go to and new and exciting things to do. And it’s great for the sports community as well for the young kids.” Aalbers added most people are okay with plans to create seating for 2,500 in a primary arena. “It’s one of those things that comes about from the perspective of trying to find the balance between what we build today what we
use in the future with room for expansion,” he said. He says the findings of the survey will support the detailed design and future programming of the facilities. Aalbers also said it was really good to see young families and grandparents out with their grandkids enjoying the day inside during Winterfest. “It’s a little cool outside, but being able to enjoy all the activities inside is really terrific,” he said. Aalbers had plans for the rest of the day to get around to see Winterfest activities at the curling centre and museum.

Sask. looking at legal challenge of Emergencies Act MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
Like many Canadians, The Government of Saskatchewan isn’t too pleased with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s decision to invoke the Emergencies Act, formerly known as the War Measures Act, in response to protestors occupying streets in downtown Ottawa. A motion stating the Liberal government’s decision to invoke the act was passed in the House of Commons on Monday. The decision has gained its fair share of scrutiny since being passed, mainly due to the amount of power the Act gives the PM, but questions have also been raised in regards to whether the situation in Ottawa was as bad as Trudeau was making it out to be. In order to declare a public order emer-
g e nc y u nd e r th e a c t, the government has to show there are “threats to the security of Canada” and that it “is so serious as to be a national emergency.”
“
The Government of Saskatchewan shares the position of other provinces that the criteria to enact the federal Emergencies Act has not been met.
Many, including the g o v e r nme nt s o f Saskatchewan and Alberta, are arguing these criteria were not met, which is why the offices of Premiers Moe and Kenney have released statements in regards to possible legal challenges.
Premier Scott Moe File Photo “The Government of Saskatchewan shares the position of other provinces that the criteria to enact the federal Emergencies Act has not been met,” said Julie Leggott, press secretary to Premier Moe, in a statement. “Saskatchewan is carefully evaluating the impact of the unilateral invocation of the Emergencies Act, despite the province’s clear opposition to its application in Saskatchewan during consultation. At this time, legal recourse is under consideration and has not been ruled out.”

EDITOR
..................................
On Monday, the Lloydminster Region Health Foundation (LRHF) announced Stephanie Brown Munro has been appointed CEO of the organization after former CEO, Malcolm Radke, resigned in early January to pursue a career in high-tech sales. Brown Munro first joined the LRHF team in May of 2018 when she took on the role of fund development officer, and since that time, she has built strong community relationships and new fundraising partnerships. Not only has she played a vital role in fundraising initiatives such as Lloydminster’s Gift to Health Digital Stream, but she has also written a number of successful grants and proposals for additional healthcare innovation in the region. With nearly 20 years of experience in healthcare as a nurse prior to entering the fundraising field, along with her four years of experience as a councillor with the City of Lloydminster, and serving on the Yellowhead East Health Advisory Council and the Lloydminster & District Advisory Council, Brown Munro is excited to see what challenges
lie ahead. “I was extremely honoured and excited when I found out,” she said. “There’s definitely some really big shoes to fill, though. Malcolm has done an exceptional job leading this organization and I definitely wish him the best in future endeavours. “Although those shoes were pretty overwhelming to fill, it’s still humbling and I am very honoured to lead the organization I am so passionate about.” With a background in healthcare and nursing, Brown Munro is very passionate about healthcare, and she’ll be the first one to tell you she truly believes “a community is only as strong and healthy as the people in it.” “For me, that’s what
really drew me to the Foundation,” she said. “I couldn’t sell a car unless I really loved it, but I tell people, when it comes to fundraising for healthcare and advancements in healthcare, everybody in our community at one time or another, will be influenced or affected by healthcare in some way. “It’s so important for me to have those resources available in our community.” Along with her passion for healthcare, Brown Munro also loves to help people, in general, and she believes this new role will allow her to better the community as a whole. “That’s what the Foundation does,” she said. “We’re the catalyst in the ability to provide the enhancements for the nurses and the doctors to be able to provide the best care possible for that community.”
Brown Munro explained she and Radke have been doing some job-sharing for the last week, but her title as CEO officially took effect on Tuesday. “I feel like the possibilities for the future are endless,” she said. “I have an amazing, passionate and supportive board to work with, as well as staff that have been in place for a long time.” Jeff Kerr, chair of the Foundation’s board of directors, stated, “On behalf of the board, we are delighted that Stephanie has accepted the position of CEO of the LRHF. “Stephanie brings a wealth of experience and knowledge that makes us fully confident of her assuming this role with the Foundation. She is very passionate about our community, and we look forward to Stephanie’s leader-
ship in working with our donors and stakeholders to continue the
Foundation’s work to enhance healthcare in our community.”

Smith set up a booth at the seniors’ fair earlier this month at the Legacy Centre to promote the club and square dancing as some fun, low-impact exercise. “I’m hoping to get more seniors out. Right now, we have only three or four members who are seniors,” said Smith. “Who knows, maybe I can start an afternoon square dance at the Legacy Centre.” Smith says square dancing is a nice, easy exercise that’s easy on the hips because there’s no hard motion.

“It’s very easy on the body. It gets you having fun and socializing with people. You get to laugh and have fun,” he said. The club meets every Wednesday night at the Bio-Clean Aquatic Centre Meeting Room from 6:30-8:30 p.m. with free admission for firsttimers and just $5 per week after that. “It’s a nice easy floor to dance on; it’s easy on the hips,” stressed Smith. He says joining the club is a great opportunity for seniors who may have been isolating at home for the past two years during COVID to step out and reconnect. “Here, you get a chance to come out. You get to chat with your neighbours,” he said. It may be the best fun, ever according to the wording on the club’s calling card. Smith says the pan-
File Photo demic put the Lloyd club on pause until a restart this past October, unlike clubs in North Battleford, Kindersley and Unity that may never re-open. “We’re trying to get things up and going again,” he said, noting they have 20 members and hope to rebuild to the record of 100 members set in 2005. “We are a group of people who like to have fun. We like to laugh. When I say circle left, everybody circles right,” said Smith with a laugh.
Smith notes members include farmers, oil rig workers, doctors, nurses and clerical staff with a learn while you dance approach. “I teach every dance before it’s danced, so you don’t have to know a single thing about square dancing,” he said. Smith recalls learning on the fly too after his wife “dragged him out” to a dance and then quickly found himself promoted to a caller, so he had to learn how to call. The rest is history.
Sask expanding newborn screening MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
The Government of Saskatchewan is adding four medical conditions to the screening program administered to newborn babies by the Saskatchewan Health Authority. The routine tests identify infants with certain medical conditions that could require medical intervention, which can lead to greater opportunities for treatment and supportive care. “Our government is pleased to announce expanded screening for certain childhood conditions that have viable medical treatments available,” said Health
Minister Paul Merriman said. The targeted provincial funding will expand the Universal Newborn Screening Program to include: - Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) - a rare neuromuscular disorder caused by a genetic defect that can lead to impaired mobility, swallowing and breathing, and may result in early death. - Hemoglobinopathies (including Sickle Cell disease) - inherited blood disorders that affect red blood cells and can cause infections, including life-threatening pneumococcal infections in infants with Sickle Cell
disease. - A marker for hearing loss (Congenital Cytomegalovirus (CMV) which is relatively frequent, and is the most common cause of acquired congenital hearing loss. - Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) - caused by genetic defects, characterized by the lack of a functioning immune system. The program will enable families to receive earlier diagnoses and treatment. Implementation has already started and will be phased in, with full implementation for the four conditions later this year.

Richer pitches health gap meeting GEOFF LEE
WRITER
.................................. Paul Richer, chair of the Lloydminster and District Health Advisory Council, is looking for feedback about holding a community meeting to identify health service needs. “The purpose would be to bring the general public in this region to view what our advocacy group has been working on, our successes and where we still see gaps,” said Richer. “And most importantly, to find out what we’ve been missing.” The Advisory Council has identified 16 local healthcare priorities such as renal dialysis relocation and chemotherapy relocation out of the hospital, or at least upgrading that service. “Other ones are senior care, hospice facilities, capital expenditures and expansion at the hospital, among many other things,” he added. Richer generated support for a community meeting at the Lloydminster Concerned Citizens for Seniors Care Society meeting at the Legacy Centre on Feb. 15. “We are in big support of that initiative. That’s a great initiative to hear from the community what some of the things we might be missing are,” said Seniors Care Society president, Graham Brown. “We always like to hear from (members of) the community.” Richer says details such as the actual date, location and agenda for a community meeting have yet to be worked out. “It’s just been thrown out right now as concepts to groups like this, and we’re hoping with the opening of less COVID restrictions, probably May or June,” he said. “I’m hoping to set up a subcommittee to get more details in the near future.” Richer also sits on the Bi-Provincial Health Services Com-
mittee co-chaired by the deputy health ministers of Alberta and Saskatchewan and knows about some of the existing gaps.
“
The purpose would be to bring the general public in this region to view what our advocacy group has been working on, our successes and where we still see gaps.
“It’s clear we only have what I call twoand-a-half operating rooms at the hospital, versus North Battleford has four, and the doctors have been asking for more for a long time,” said Richer. He says there are also gaps in services as far as pediatrics go in Lloydminster.
“We’ve had 100 plus babies (born) a year for 20 years and pediatrics doesn’t exist at the Lloydminster Hospital,” he said. He says another thing that doesn’t exist for a city of our size is mental health stabilization beds, noting everyone else has one and there’s no place to put these people. “They either get incarcerated or sent away to North Battleford so they are well away from the community when somebody’s in a bad mental state— so maybe that’s a bad idea,” said Richer. Brown says the need for additional long-term care spaces is the number-one healthcare gap the seniors’ group is advocating to be filled. “There’s never enough and we need to keep working on that on a continual basis,” he said. “The EMS (ambulance) service has kind of been re-organized
Paul Richer File Photo in Lloydminster, so we want to make sure when we get the finished product, it is something that will fulfill our needs.” Richer says there will probably be informational boards at the meeting about some of the things mentioned at the seniors’ meeting. “There will be some method to capture information from people if they are experiencing issues,” he said. “Hopefully, we can catch them in writing rather than verbal testimonials, and I am sure we will try to attract some representatives from both Alberta and Saskatchewan health.”

Supporting local and district trade
WHISPERS OF THE PAST SANDRA L. BROWN
It didn’t take long for merchants to set-up their shops and offer their wares or services to a growing number of settlers. In May, 1905, Mr. Flamank, a sub-agent of the Battleford District, recorded 100 new home-
stead entries. In June, Mr. Hutchinson’s party of 225 settlers arrived safely in Battleford and camped alongside the bridge. Staggering their departures over the next few days, these settlers left for Lloydminster. Settlers supported their local merchants and those in the surrounding district, which in two years, had spread
between the Battle and Saskatchewan Rivers. For those items not available, mail order catalogues were used. Supplies were often shipped on the Saskatchewan River. Hot meals at Salmon’s Restaurant and Boarding House, located on Main Street, were available at all hours for .25 cents each. Located next to the log
church, a bakery owned by W. Felton quickly served their customers. Richard Adam offered hairdressing services and operated a saloon on Church Street. Services included shaving, shampooing and haircuts. Cigars and tobacco were also sold. The Dressmaking and Millinery shop on King Edward Street inside Mrs. Hill’s house offered seven years of firstclass sewing experience for clothing and hats at moderate prices. Selling bricks for $10 per thousand, Mr. James Gee set-up his brick machinery on newly-purchased land north of Lloydminster. The bricks were of the
finest quality. As a builder and contractor, Gee provided estimates for all types of work, including houses made from brick. He also sold sand and gravel. Hewitt’s Mill at Fort Pitt sold a wide variety of lumber. Their stock included rough or dressed sheeting, flooring, siding, shiplap, joists and framing timber. As the licence inspector for the district, Mr. W Rendell sat in at the hearing for Mr. D. S. Irwin’s liquor licence renewal application for the King Edward Hotel. Rev. Lloyd objected as he claimed that a licence could not be granted as the land was in his
name. Irwin produced a lease document. The validity of this lease was in question and the matter was referred to the authorities in Regina. It was noted by several men during the hearing that the applicant’s character was of the utmost integrity. He was more than capable of running the hotel in question. A small writeup in the April 25, 1905 edition of the Lloydminster Times reminded readers “every pound of wheat, oats, potatoes and vegetables of all kinds, that you can raise this summer, will be readily bought up at good prices by the incoming settlers.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

n s o c i a l media, it has been reported that people who contributed to the truckers convoy to Ottawa have had their bank accounts frozen. Under provisions of the Emergencies Measures Act, that allows the government to freeze bank accounts. This is absolutely ridiculous! This is just
FROM PAGE 8
Homesteaders were asked to plant early, so every inch of their broken land could provide a substantial yield. Whenever possible, locals supported locals. In turn, merchants supported various social functions and were very community-minded as evidenced in the local newspaper. This was a winning partnership for the community, which fully supported its progressive growth. Settlers were interested in the welfare of their neighbours, considerate of each other and had a key interest in what was happening both locally and in their district.
not right! The bankers for their part were just more than willing to comply and the bank accounts were frozen within hours. I have dealt with many bankers over my
lifetime and most of them I hold in very low regard. I have met a few good ones but they are few and far between. I have a saying about bankers: they produce nothing, they are just parasites living off the
work and efforts of others. Don’t trust the banks, people! Move your money, folks! Enough said! Yours truly, Victor Hult

Leeway from Lloyd: NHL spoils Olympic hockey STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE
It seems not many people in North America tuned in to watch the Beijing Olympics for a variety of reasons, namely because of the awkward time zone. Another is when it came to men’s hockey, Canada and many of the other countries sent industrial beer league teams to China since the NHL and the IIHF wouldn’t allow the best players to go. As a result, the hockey was exceptionally painful to watch, except for the women’s side with the best female players in the world. I watched the last period of Canada’s 3-2
gold medal win over the U.S. and it was fantastic high-skill hockey with the perfect patriotic ending. By contrast, Canada’s men’s hockey team was sadly lacking in skills compounded by a head coaching change with the tournament underway. Who does that? Every time I watched the men play (only while cycling indoors), I wanted to rant at NHL commissioner Gary Bettman for not allowing the best players to go. The women sent the best female players and it was exciting. Their win should also inspire a lot of up-and-coming female players to want to be the next MariePhilip Poulin. No one who watched Canada’s men’s team play will be inspired to
be like anyone on that losing team. Most of the other teams were just as pathetic. It was no wonder the media totally ignored Team Canada when they got bumped out in the quarter-finals, and it was entirely predictable too. Putting a team together from about nine different bush leagues at the last minute on a wish and a prayer totally guaran-
teed failure. The solution is to forget about allowing any players from the NHL in the Games since the NHL never seems to make up its mind about letting players go or not. Instead, Olympic hockey should only be for the best juniors in the world. I think if Canada had sent our junior team to China, they would have medaled. That might happen this August, but, of course, NHL
teams will spoil that too by disallowing draft picks to play. Maybe,
a women’s world cup would be better. At least we’d have a shot at gold.

Flatlands Kennel Boarding comes to Border City

EDITOR
..................................
Ever since she was
a small child, Whitney Weston was raised with, and learned about
animals, a lot about animals. Growing up on a beef
farm, Weston had the opportunity to professionally show cattle all over Canada and participate in 4-H Beef and Veterinary projects. Weston got her first personal dog, an American Pit Bull Terrier named Kade, at the age of 17, and two kids and a couple of cross-province moves later, she found herself back in her old backyard chasing a dream. Her knowledge and skills eventually led her to become the owner and operator of Flatland Kennels, based out of Maidstone, Sask., and more recently the businesses’ second location in the Border City. “I started Flatlands
Kennels 15 years ago when I got my first American Pit Bull Terrier and I realized they’re hard dogs to handle and genetics matter, those types of things, so it really got me delving into the animals’ behaviour,” said Weston.
“
We officially opened with our specialized daycare on Feb. 15, so it hasn’t been that long.
“I didn’t have a lot of luck competing with them locally as there wasn’t a lot offered here, so I started edu-
cating myself and travelling, and trialing. I lived in B.C. for a few years and learned and apprenticed, and eventually moved back to Saskatchewan, where I grew up, and I opened the boarding kennel here.” The Maidstone boarding kennel was always equipped for training dogs, but over time, Weston began adding caninesport equipment to the property. The sporting equipment at Flatlands includes a dock diving pool, a weight-pull track, a wall climb and a rat-finding course, to name a few. CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

ents, but to also have the availability of the sport year-round.” The Lloyd location is a 7,500 sq. ft. facility which includes storage space for users’ agility equipment etc., but Weston also pointed out they have rental equipment available as well. “We are also going to have a competitionregulated indoor dock diving setup, so there’s going to be a 50-ft. pool with a 40-ft. dock inside,” said Weston. “We’re also going to have a rat find, up to a master-course size available, as well as a weightpull track Ryder that is 9 year old Rottie X available
With the kennel in Maidstone thriving, Weston was looking to expand, which is how the new Lloydminster location came to be. “We officially opened with our specialized daycare on Feb. 15, so it hasn’t been that long, but we decided to make that leap with a second location to make it more convenient for our cli-

to use for lessons, competitions, all that kind of stuff, as I’ve judged for quite a few years. “We also have our specialized daycare and training during the week for half days and full days, as well as evening classes, and we’re looking at bringing a groomer and some retail in as well.” Weston specializes in aggression training as well as breeding, and a cool feather in her cap is the fact she boards law enforcement dogs as well as local RCMP members’ personal dogs. “We are the place that people can go if they have an aggressive dog, because those dogs need a place to go, too,” she said. “We have really extensive knowledge on behaviour, so we are really focused on making safe play groups. “Our biggest thing is safety, so if that means your dog is by itself,

Rustlers down Fury in first round number-one seat in the north, but of course in the playoffs, anything can happen.”

..................................
If regular-season play were any indication of how an inaugural playoff run would go, the future looks bright for the Lakeland College King’s Energy Group Rustlers Hockey Club. The Rustlers (194-0-1), playing out of the Alberta Junior Female Hockey League (AJFHL), faced off against the Fort Saskatchewan Fury (9-140-1) in the first round of a best-of-three series this past weekend, and closed the series in two games. The Rustlers were in Fort Saskatchewan
on Saturday for a road game against the Fury, and after a tight 60 minutes, skated away with a 4-3 win. The Rustlers then hosted the Fury at the Russ Robertson Arena on Sunday and shutout the visitors 8-0 in front of a packed home crowd. “Playoffs is a whole different game,” said Rustlers head coach Morgan Mann. “I look at a season in three parts and playoffs is the third chapter, the final part of the season, and it’s what you play for all year. “Going into the weekend we were very
excited, but nervous and cautious. We were going into it in the

but the work put in on Saturday pushed the team to new heights on Sunday as they potted eight goals on Fury goaltenders Merisha Hoyles and Paige Thomas. “Coming back home on Sunday, we may have played the best game of the season, at least i t w as o u r be st game all winter, so that was a nice way to finish off the first round,” said Mann. The coach pointed
out the other north division series between the Edmonton Wolves and the Sherwood Park Steele was also done after two games, with the Wolves taking the win. The Rustlers will now take on the Wolves in the second round of AJFHL action and are feeling quite confident going into the series. “We’re feeling good about the second round,” said Mann.

Lakeland Rustlers captain, Jayde Cadieux, pushes the puck over the goal line on Sunday afternoon during playoff action at the Russ Robertson Arena.
“The Wolves, out of our four games with them this season, we won three and lost one, but they were all really close games and could have gone either way,” said Mann. “We’re certainly not taking them for granted. They’re an older team and probably have the most college and university experience of all the teams in our league. “Most of their players are 21 and 22 years of age, making them a year or two older than most of our players, so they’re a veteran team and they’re wellcoached. It’ll be tough.” Despite this being the first season Lakeland has iced a team, continued support from the community has

not gone unnoticed by Mann, or his players.
“
We won’t get any news until the first week in May, but, by all accounts we’re feeling very confident.
“Our game on Sunday had to be the best crowd we’ve had all winter, and of course, we’ve really enjoyed the Russ for that reason,” said Mann. “When we get a couple of hundred fans to the game it really has a great atmosphere and that’s exciting for the players, as well as all of us who are involved.” The Rustlers are also still patiently wait-
he Lakeland College Rustlers mens and womens basketball and volleyball teams are in action this weekend with basketball being played at the Lakekland gym on Saturday night. The women tip-off at
ing to hear back from the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) as to whether or not they will be playing out of the collegiate conference next season, and for Mann, the news couldn’t come soon enough. “Everything is done and we’re just waiti ng to h e a r f ro m th e league. We’d like to get the news tomorrow, of course, but everything is a process and has to go through the proper steps. We won’t get any news until the first week in May, but, by all accounts, we’re feeling very confident.” The Rustlers open the second round of playoff action against Edmonton this Sunday at the Russ with a 3:15 p.m. puck drop.
at 6 p.m. and the men start at 8 p.m. The Rustlers volleyball teams will be in Edmonton on Saturday night to take on the Concordia Thunder. The women’s game starts at 6 p.m. and the men play at 8 p.m.

Farmers facing pesticides crunch GEOFF LEE
WRITER
.................................. Waste not, want not. That applies to farmers in the Lloydminster area planning to spray herbicides with expected shortages and prices already soaring. Pesticide conservation planning is top of mind for application specialist Tom Wolf, owner of Agrimetrix Research and Training in Saskatoon. He spoke about dealing with pesticide shortages in 2022 at AgriVisions at the Lloydminster Exhibition Grounds which was breaking news to some farmers in the audience. “Some people had not heard there was going to be a shortage because it’s typically a little early to take delivery of the product,”
said Wolf following his talk on Feb. 9. “The news is really travelling down the supply chain now and we’re realizing we may be in a bit of a crunch.” He says the three key products people are talking about are glyphosate, glufosinate, and clethodim better known as the brands Roundup, Liberty and Centurion. “The cost of glyphosate and glufosinate has gone up three to fourfold already,” he said. “That means we’re moving from a $4 to $5 per acre treatment for glyphosate to a $12 to $15 per acre treatment. He says the price for Liberty could rise to a $50 to $60 per acre treatment. “Fertilizers have really spiked in price as
well,” he said. Wolf says glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world and is used in Saskatchewan and Alberta for pre-seed burn-off. Area farmers also use it for in crop control of weeds in canola and as a pre-harvest aid to get rid of perennial weeds. Wolf says the looming product shortage means farmers may not get all the pesticides they need to treat all their acres, so acres may go untreated. The second thing he says is they may need to stretch their herbicide over more acres and use lower application rates than they have been using. When it’s time to spray, Wolf advises f armers t o pay more attention to surfactants,
water quality, and droplet size, to make sure the products work well. Wolf also provided the audience with an overview of how much product might be lost during spraying, noting the amount of waste is surprising. “So we need sprayers that can make the most of what we have and that means not wasting any,” said Wolf. He says priming the sprayer boom, for example, can take a few minutes and that puts the product on the ground while it flows to the furthest part. “They might lose 20-20 gallons doing that. That’s two or three acres worth,” said Wolf. He says it’s also important to spray as uniformly as possible. Wolf also advises

farmers to make sure the spray nozzles are within a 5 per cent flow rate tolerance along the entire boom and to invest in individual nozzle shutoffs to improve sectional control resolution.

Buyer etiquette and stacking the deck MIDWEST MINUTE VERN McCLELLAND
March 15 was when Julius Caesar was assassinated in ancient Roman times by his political opponents during a meeting of the Senate. History records it as th e b e g i n ni ng o f the deterioration of an
empire which had stood strong for several hundred years. William Shakespeare coined the phrase “beware the Ides of March.” I cringe thinking about what the next 30 days will hold. Every year it’s a silly season in the real estate world. Maybe it’s because Canadians are coming out of the relative cap-
tivity of winter, especially given the last t wo y ear s of r est r ictions, or it could just be the lunar cycle is pulling out the craziness in people like a full moon often does. In my work, I see buyers wanting to look at houses and acreages without going to their lender first to see if they would even qualify. I understand they may have a desire to escape their apartment or town home, but so many times they are just wasting everybody’s time not being prepared to complete an offer.
Window shopping is fine in a shoe or furniture store, but to ask a seller’s family to prepare their home for a viewing then leave for several hours just because someone is curious, but not qualified, is downright rude. Then there are the buyers who want to look at properties $50,000 to $100,000 above their budget “to get ideas” about features. Well, the only thing achieved doing that is a disappointment with what they need to settle for in the end because the reason the housing in the higher
bracket is priced where it is because of those enhancements. O f c o u r se , th e r e i s also the buyer who deep down really wants a new house and upon offering on a used one, expects it to be 100 percent perfect. Sorry folks, that ship sailed. A used house is a used house. It may need some paint or repairs; again, that is why it is priced the way it is. If you want new, then buy a lot and hire a builder. You will quickly find out the meaning of “replacement cost”. Enough ranting: let me share a story about a nephew of mine who unfortunately passed away far too young, and whom family and friends laid to rest last week. One hot July day, he was working with a crew on a service rig on an oil lease located just a couple of hundred yards away from a farm yard. They had exhausted their water supply and there were still several hours left in the work day, so as young men do, he bragged to his colleagues that in the
next break he could go up to the house and get a refill of their cooler without any problem. In fact, he said, “I am so charming I bet I can come back with cookies too!” Well, they didn’t think that would happen, so each of them put up $20 and away he went across the field, disappearing behind out of sight behind the trees. About 15 minutes later he came back, not only with a large jug full of ice water, but also with a brand-new bag of Oreo cookies. He never did tell his mates his aunt and uncle owned the farm they were working on!
