Local truckers tag up with Convoy TAYLOR WEAVER

EDITOR

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

Whether you were at the Husky/Esso Truck or situated somewhere along Highway 16 on Monday morning, it was abundantly clear many Border City truckers stand behind Freedom Convey 2022. On its way to Ottawa, the convoy believes “every Canadian should be free to choose and face no discrimination or restrictions on their freedom due to their choice.” “No more lockdowns. No forced vaccinations,” a Facebook post read. “We are headed to Ottawa,” said local organizer Miranda Gasior. “We have a memorandum document we want to serve to the House of Commons and we are 100 per cent standing for freedom. Canada is the land of the free and that’s what we want back.” Vaxxed or unvaxxed? It doesn’t really matter

as the Freedom Convoy wasn’t discriminating against either group.

“

I’m here to end all the mandates. Hopefully we can change the course of history. Canada’s going the wrong way right now, and we need to step up and do our part.

“I don’t mean to sound cruel, but if you’re afraid of COVID after two years, you need to stay home. The rest of us need to live life, and that’s just that,” said Gasior. “The bottom line is, life needs to go on and we can’t live like this anymore.” Chris Fraser, who’s called the west home for over 20 years, was one of many drivers patiently waiting for

the convoy to depart the Husky truck stop, and was more than willing to talk about why he was attending. “I’m here to end all the mandates. Hopefully, we can change the course of history,” he said. “Canada’s going the wrong way right now, and we need to step up and do our part.” Fraser’s been driving truck for 30 years and plans to travel with the convoy until it reaches Regina. “I have commitments hauling oil, so I’m just trying to do my part.” Aside from hoping to put an end to current government mandates in relation to COVID19, Fraser said one of the main reasons he’s so passionate about the drive is his children. “My kids are 21, 12, and six, and I want a different future for them,” he said. “My kids are scared right now. They don’t know what’s going on. They listen to all the false stories being told, and

School rejoices in teacher’s award

Geoff Lee Meridian Source

Sarah Rorquist, a pre-Kindergarten teacher at Mother Teresa Early Childhood Education Centre, was surprised to learn she is the 2022 winner of the Excellence in Catholic Education Award. Students and staff threw a surprise party outside her classroom on Tuesday. GEOFF LEE

WRITER

.................................. Teaching is a labour of love for Sarah Rorquist, who was embraced for just that as the recipient of the Excellence in Catholic Education Award for 2022. The award came as a total surprise to the beloved pre-Kindergarten teacher at Mother Teresa Early Childhood Education Centre (ECEC) after students and staff lined the hallways to congratulate her on Tuesday morning. It was also pyjama day to add to the fun. Rorquist was told the media were coming to talk about past kindness projects and was caught off guard. “I was blown away. I was so surprised; I love what I do every day and to be honoured for what I do is a true blessing,” said Rorquist, fighting back tears of joy. The annual award recognizes Catholic teachers in Alberta who have done an exemplary job in preparing youth to grow into outstanding Catholic citizens. This is the first time an ECEC teacher has won the award, which Rorquist says could have gone to anyone. “It’s a huge honour. Everyone in this building is deserving of it,” she said.

“Everyone works their heart out and does everything they can, so to be spotlighted for this is just a huge honour.” Rorquist has spent 12 of her 15 years teaching in Lloydminster and enjoys teaching three classes of 12 pre-K boys and girls every day. “It is an adventure every day. I do love it. It’s been my dream job forever to teach the littlest kids and I wouldn’t want to do anything else,” she said. Rorquist fits the role as a nominee by the Lloydminster Catholic School Division who is passionate about Catholic education and the

students they teach, inspires their students, and demonstrates a commitment to Catholic education and teaching excellence. She honestly doesn’t know why she got the award, but thinks it may be for what she does every day. “I put my whole heart into school and into my classroom,” said Rorquist. School principal, Sheila Jurke, had high praise for Rorquist and all of her staff at ECEC. “It really is quite amazing to see the level of talent and gifts that Sarah has and the staff at Mother Teresa school,” she said.

“Every teacher brings their best every day, and to be able to recognize the hard work and dedication of one of our own really helped brighten spirits here at the end of January. It’s an exciting time for all of us for sure.” Jurke explained how they kept the award and the school celebration a secret from Rorquist until a special public address announcement. “It was just a cumulative effort all of our staff made together and being willing to take some time out of their day to recognize Sarah,” she said. “A few little white lies and some emails she wasn’t aware of made it happen.” Rorquist says she wasn’t really sure what was going on, thinking, “okay this is part of the kindness project. That’s a big part of what our school is all about, spreading kindness and joy. “I was a little thrown off by that, but I was super surprised,” she said. Rorquist says it means the world to her to have her co-workers and staff share in her recognition as a teacher. “They have supported me in everything. They are always there for me no matter what,” she said. “If I’m having a bad

Russell rallies for cancer pal

WRITER

.................................. Lloydminster kids’ cancer fighter, Jarrod Russell and his family are reaching out to the community to participate in a collective act of kindness before time runs out for a young boy. Braxton Weidman is a nine-year-old from Alabama with late stage cancer who is fighting

for his life. The youngster and family friend is one of several kids with cancer that Russell rode for in last year’s Great Cycle Challenge Russell plans to take part in his seventh annual Great Cycle Challenge in August with Braxton in mind to add to the $175,500 he has raised for far for the SickKids Foundation.

His family is also gifting the Weidmans more than $6,000US they raised separate from the challenge rides with the support of the community and friends last year. Russell has since learned Braxton has taken a downturn, some 17 months after having a cancerous brain tumour removed and his family is wel-

coming cards and letters of support from everyone. Russell, now 45 is a childhood cancer survivor who has a a message of hope for all the kids with cancer out here. “Keep your heads up and fight through with what you have,” said Russell. “Enjoy life. Laugh and smile all the time. It’s a non stop battle and you just have to smile.” Russell’s family had hoped to visit the Weidmans last year, but travel restrictions due to COVID have put that off indefinitely. They have been made aware the brain tumour Braxton is fighting is raging on and treatments have stopped working. His mom and dad Brandie and Chris are doing all they can do to help Braxton stay comfortable. “We are all praying for Braxton,’” said Russell’s sister, Lana Lane

Lloyd Ex corrals equine event GEOFF LEE

WRITER

.................................. Hold your horses. The Lloydminster Exhibition Association is looking for four unridden three-year-old fillies and geldings to pull off a Trainer’s Challenge at Everything Equine on the Border, April 8-10. The horses will be paired with Alberta trainers Kade Mills, Travis Beaton and Rod Olsen in a three-day head-to-head horse training competition with one horse as a spare. “We have three trainers compete by working with an unbroken filly or gelding throughout the three days of the event in a round pen and then take them to the arena to show what they have,” explained LloydEx agriculture manager, Shelly Ann Dodgson. The trainer’s challenge is packaged with an equine-based trade show and clinics in western horsemanship and English jumping at the exhibition grounds. Dodgson says there is not another event like this within 300 kilometres of Lloydminster. “There’s going to be a trade show and different sessions hosted by our veterinarians. Saddles, fashion you name it—we’ll probably be able to find it for you,”

she said. In the meantime, ev en t o rg an iz ers are inviting local horse owners to apply to provide quarter horses and paints. “We’re looking for western pleasure riding horses,” said Dodgson. A rider selection committee will pick the best ones for the trainer’s competition. “By the end of the week, they will be able to ride them. That’s the plan. They start with a colt and in three days they get the horse to where they can saddle and ride,” said Dodgson. The judges will select one of the three to win the trainers’ challenge with the prize yet to be determined aside from the recognition that goes with it. This is a spectator event that should attract a lot of horse enthusiasts who will get to see how horse training is actually done. Everything Equine and the trainers’ stress, it can actually take months to fully train a new mount. “It’s not like Yellowstone,” joked Dodgson, referring to the TV mini-series where cowboys jump on bucking broncos and tame them in a matter of seconds. She says each trainer at Everything Equine

has their own tricks and their own way of doing it. “You’re going to learn how to calm a horse down, how to get them acquainted with you, haltering, leading and building trust with your horse, then going into saddling and getting them used to noise and different things,” explained Dodgson. She says people in the stands get to see how they work with horses so they can go home and work on their own horses. Dodgson says the response to the entire event has been really good and they are getting lots of applications to participate in the two riding clinics. “ It ’s ou r f ir s t t ime holding it, so we will be hoping for as many people to come as pos-

sible,” she said. “We have a really strong light horse sector locally— everything from your English to your Western disciplines.” A Western horsemanship clinic will be hosted by Bronwyn and Jason Irwin from Ontario, who operate their own business teaching clinics and demonstrate at horse expos They are stars of the TV show The Horse Trainers. The Irwins teach everything from colt starting to liberty training, problem-solving, barrel racing, pole bending and trick training. Alexander Grayton, a Canadian show jumping rider, trainer, and clinician, based in Calgary will head up the English riding clinic.

CAPP forecasts investment uptick 22013AA2

File Photo GEOFF LEE

WRITER

.................................. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers (CAPP) forecasts capital spending in the upstream oil and gas sector to rise 22 per cent this year to $32 billion. That’s a projected $6 billion increase in spending from last year’s total investment of $26.9 million Conventional oil and natural gas capital investment for 2022 is forecast at $21.2 billion. Growth in oil sands investment is expected to increase 33 per cent to $11.6 billion compared to $8.7 billion last year. “Canada’s natural gas and oil industry is continuing its path towards recovery,” said CAPP president and CEO Tim McMillan in a release last Thursday. “The growth in upstream investment will support jobs across the country and provide a positive boost to Canada’s economic recovery.” CAPP notes growth

in spending for 2022 would mark the second straight year of significant increases in investment as Canadian producers look to capitalize on stronger commodity prices due to rapidly growing global demand for natural gas and oil. International Energy Agency expects oil demand will top 100 million barrels per day within the next two to three years and remain at or above that level until 2040 and beyond. The demand for natural gas is expected to increase by up to 28 per cent by 2050. McMillan says any oil and gas not produced in Canada will be produced by other countries that can’t match our high environmental and social standards. He says the economic recovery of the sector relies on government at all levels, working with the industry to create an environment where the oil and gas industry can attract investment back to Canada.

Alberta is expected to lead all provinces with upstream investment expected to increase 24 per cent to total $24.5 billion in 2022. The growth in investment is being driven both in the conventional and oil sands sectors. In Saskatchewan, producers expect to invest $2.7 billion in the province in 2022. That’s an increase of 16 per cent over 2021. Cenovus Energy, which has operations in the Lloydminster area, is increasing capital spending for this year up to $3B along with a four per cent increase in production to 820,00 barrels of oil equivalent per day. The company is following an industry trend to prioritize spending on dividends, share buybacks and optimizing producing assets instead of investing in expansion projects. While many financial institutions are cutting back on funding fossil fuel projects, BMO says

it is committed to helping the energy industry to transition to a low carbon economy. “With an estimated US$2 trillion in annual investment required to finance the transition to a low-carbon economy, the role of banks is clear: to do what we do best and enable change by banking the entire economy,” said Dan Barclay, the CEO head of BMO Capital Markets in a recent report. CAPP says despite the industry’s increase in capital spending for this year, Canada is continuing to lose investment market share to other jurisdictions in the world. Global spending on upstream oil and natural gas production will reach $525B in 2022 according to a recent forecast by international energy research firm, Wood Mackenzie. CAPP says based on that forecast, Canada currently lags with just six per of the total market share representing more than $21B in investment.

Starke takes aim at hyper partisanship

Former Vermilion-Lloydminster-Wainwright MLA Richard Starke spoke about his years in the Alberta Legislature at Monday’s Rotary Club of Lloydminster meeting. GEOFF LEE

WRITER

.................................. Once a politician, always a politician. Former VermilionLloydminster-Wainwright MLA, Richard Starke, spoke about politics at the Rotary Club of Lloydminster on Monday. He made it clear, however, his political life is well behind him now. “I have no intention of seeking elected office again,” Starke said following his informative lunch presentation about his adventures as a former Alberta MLA. Starke was an elected member of the Progres-

sive Conservative Party from 2012 to 2015 and sat in opposition from 2015 to 2019. The resident of Lloydminster was also the Minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation from February 2013 to September 2014. He says his biggest political concern during his service as an MLA and today is the confrontational relationship that most political parties have adopted. “Unfortunately, our governments are somewhat dysfunctional. It’s related to the hyperpartisanship that we have,” said Starke. “It’s more a refusal

to work with the people across the aisle, to treat them respectfully as people who are also elected by Albertans or Canadians, in the case of the House of Commons.” He says that results in a level of rancour and discord that doesn’t lead to what he thinks is the best governance. His message to Rotarians is for people not to become cynical about public office. “As I said at the start of my address it was seven wonderful years that I wouldn’t give back for anything,” he noted.

M&M Food Market bought out

Starke says the political system has issues in the way we do things right now and we shouldn’t ignore them, but he says we should try to address or fix or change them. “We can look at exam-

memberships, Starke chose not to join the United Conservative Party (UCP) caucus. He says the UCP strayed too far from his Conservation values and principles, so he sat as an independent. “As George Washington once said, ‘It is better to stand alone than in bad company,’” explained Starke. Today, Starke practises veterinarian medicine on a part-time basis and does locum (stand-in) work at various clinics. He also teaches a

In the summer months, he acts as a course marshal at Sandy Beach Regional Park golf course and is passionate about promoting speed skating. Starke says there are all sorts of ways ordinary people can affect major change in the world often not through government or being an

elected MLA like he was. He cited the example of Lloydminster teen, Olivia Brockoff and her mother Patricia, who led donations of pyjamas to patients at the Stollery Hospital for Children since 2015. “There’s lots of things you can do on an individual basis. They don’t make the headlines, but the benefits they bring to people are huge,” said Starke. “I think those opportunities are out there. There’s lots of them. You just have to look for them.”

Alberta a hotspot for auto thefts

lberta has the dubious distinction of being the top province in Canada for auto thefts. A new report from

HelloSafe noted there were approximately 5,725 vehicle theft insurance claims in Alberta in 2021. There were 13.1 stolen vehicles per 10,000

people in Alberta in 2021. That’s twice that of Quebec. The most stolen vehicle is the Ford-F model from 2006. The second most stolen vehicle in the report is the 2019 Dodge/Ram truck series. In third place are the 2005 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra truck models. The 2000 Honda Civic is the fourth most stolen vehicle in the ranking. Data shows 37.6 per cent of vehicles stolen in Alberta in 2021 were trucks ( 2,150 in total). However, SUVs come just second in Alberta, representing 34.1 per cent of stolen cars in 2021(1,950 thefts), followed by Sedans: 26.6 per cent (1,525 thefts in 2021) and vans hovering around just 1.7 per cent (around 100 thefts in 2021). Auto theft costs insurance companies

across Canada $542 million in 2021. The annual data can be found at the following link: hellosafe. ca/en/car-insurance/ alberta-car-thefts-2021. Since last Wednesday, motorists in Alberta must report lost or stolen licence plates to the police before requesting a replacement plate from registry agents. The province says early reporting of lost or stolen plates allows police to be on alert for licence plates that may be used for illegal purposes. The new rule comes at the recommendation of the Provincial Auto Theft Review Committee. In 2020, registry agents issued 46,307 replacement licence plates for Albertans whose previous plates were lost or stolen. Of those, 30,687 plates were cited as lost, while 15,620 were noted as stolen.

Leeway from Lloyd: Hug a snowman today!

STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE

Snow is either a friend or a foe, it seems. Many news weather forecasters prefer to turn it into a fearful enemy that will slow down your all-important commute or bring out the troops to war with it. We all remember when former Toronto mayor, Mel Lastman, called in the army to

clear snow after a big storm dumped 38.1 centimetres of snow on his city in 1999! However, when skiers or sledders get wind of a fresh dumping, it’s party time on the slopes with many businesses also banking on it. I guess if you don’t ski or plow for a living, snow can be a bummer, but if you are heading outdoors for recreation, it can be an element of beauty. It’s all in the eye of the beholder in our

human relationship with snow. A lot of local residents go south at the first hint of winter or vacation in some tropical place, but I’ll take snow any day. I used to imagine myself living on some South Pacific island, but when I actually did visit the Cook Islands and Fiji, I longed for snow. It was so hot and humid in Fiji and this was in their winter. After sampling some fallen breadfruit on the Cook Islands, I was crying for a Big Mac. No, you won’t find me in a so-called tropical paradise where the brochures don’t show you the mosquitoes or warn you that you could sweat to death. Give me a good old

Canadian snowstorm, folks. Growing up in Ottawa, all the kids on our block made snow forts at the end of our driveways and snowball fights were had by all. I learned to skate right on the street too

and our family had the four-seat toboggan ready to go. You can’t even move a muscle when it’s 110℉ in the shade or risk getting skin cancer in the sun. Last night, though, I

watched another episode of Hawaii on the reality Home and Garden channel. It sure looks pretty, but looks can be deceiving as I found out from experience. Oh, look, it’s snowing again!

Sustainable Innovation MHC’s Sustainable Innovation program offers majors in business and science and provides learners with career paths that will lead change, drive new ways of doing business, and create a future that is prosperous in response to the United Nation’s Global Sustainable Development goals. “The term sustainability is often associated with climate change, but it involves so much more. Sustainability recognizes that economic, social, and environmental hardships naturally coincide with strategies that improve health, education, equality, innovation, economic growth, and environmental systems. Modelling these integrated systems will drive sustainable innovation,” explains Clay-

ton Bos, dean for the School of Arts, Science & Education at MHC. This two-year diploma, the first of its kind in Canada, will teach students how to take a holistic approach in measuring sustainability with the use of the triple bottom line – people, planet and profit – and implement creative solutions in a strategic manner. They will also be prepared to research, analyze, apply and communicate new practices that can change the status quo of an organization. Sport & Event Marketing and Management From the presentation of professional sports and entertainment events to the coordination of private functions, recreational activities and e-sports, learners will gain broad perspective and a competitive edge through MHC’s Sport & Event Marketing and Management diploma. “We have been working closely with indus-

It’s fastpaced, it’s dynamic, it’s in constant motion. Individuals in this field are creative, collaborative and committed to delivering exceptional experiences.” Students will develop a range of skills including project management, business analysis, marketing, communications and fund development in this two year program. Both Sustainable Innovation and Sport & Event Marketing and Management programs will be delivered via HyFlex, providing learners the option to complete their studies online, in person or a combination of the two. Service Dog and Canine Studies Management Another first of a kind for Canadian

post-secondary, this program prepares students for a variety of careers ranging from owning and operating a kennel, dog grooming business or training operation, to training dogs that assist individuals living with autism, dementia and diabetes or requiring emotional therapy. Work integrated learning will be an integral part of the experience, providing students on the job training. Learners will have an opportunity to work directly with the dogs, which will be placed with an actual client at the end of their schooling. “We have been working with industry to get an idea of the career paths related to both the private canine industry and service area, and by adding the focus on business we are able to accelerate a graduate’s career outcomes.” Start planning for your future today!

Start your degree at Medicine Hat College D

r. Nicoelle Wanner has been going to Medicine Hat College (MHC) for as long as she can remember. She recalls following big footprints through the hallways when she attended early learning programs as a child, singing with the MHC Girls’ Choir as a teen, and studying in the cafeteria for high school finals. More recently, she goes to the college to work as one of the physicians in the campus medical clinic. “Medicine Hat College has always been here for me,” says Wanner.

When the time came to start her post-secondary education, the decision was a no brainer. “I could have moved away to another city or another university, but that was never really high on my priority list. I knew that I could get a very good education here with the added logical benefits of cost saving and smaller class sizes,” she explains. “The college gave me the education and training I needed, in the environment that I needed during that time in my life. I never had to sacrifice anything by staying here.”

After completing two years of university transfer science courses, she went on to finish a Bachelor of Science at the University of Calgary. It was there she had her first real ‘a-ha’ moment about what made a MHC education so special. “I was sitting in my first big lecture hall with four hundred students and thinking ‘Oh my God, what is happening?’ because that was not what I was used to. At MHC, you just had so much more one-on-one time with your instructors which improved the education for sure, but quite frankly it

improved the fun.” In addition to the solid education she received at MHC, she also had the opportunity to connect with people and develop relationships – skills that have served her well in her career. Wanner finished her medical degree at the University of Alberta and returned to Medicine Hat for her residency. With strong roots in the community, she established her medical practice, started her family and began building the life

she wanted to have. After 13 years, the busy mom of three closed her practice and moved to the MHC campus clinic, allowing her more time for family activities and non-clinical initiatives. “The thing I love most about my job is the opportunities it’s given me. My training has allowed me to create the job that I want and give me that independence to really tailor my work,” says Wanner, who i s al so i nvo l ve d with improving pediatric mental health services in Medicine Hat.

Being back at MHC, Wanner says she has come full circle. “In a way, I see myself in so many of the students that come to see me. I know they just want to get to where they’re going, but I want to tell them to sit back and take their time. Enjoy the ride - you’re going to get there eventually if that’s where you’re meant to be.” Learn more about the programs that MHC offers at www.mhc. ab.ca/ProgramsandCourses.

2022 Guide to Post-Secondary Education

Learning in action at Lakeland College M

any postsecondary institutions promise a hands-on education, but Lakeland College goes far beyond expectations. Lakeland provides truly immersive experiences that shape futures and prepare students for the real world. Both of our campuses – one in Vermilion and one in Lloydminster – are designed to guide students beyond the classroom, creating tangible environments where they can learn, lead and manage. More than just practicums or work-study jobs, we create our

programs with the future in mind, ensuring that after graduation, our students have the experience and knowledge to make a meaningful impact on their industries. Lakeland learns by doing: • On our StudentManaged Farm – Powered by New Holland, our students are in charge of managing the commercial-scale crop, livestock and ag research enterprises utilizing the latest equipment and technology. • In our health and wellness programs, students put their skills into action in our stu-

dent-led spa and hairstyling salon. • Energy students lead shifts in the stateof-the-art Cenovus Lab, providing heat and power for the Lloydminster campus. • Human services students put their compassion and skills into action on practicum, with volunteer projects, the play program and more. • Field Week puts environmental sciences students beyond the classroom where they develop practical skills that industry wants. Through these experiences – which can be found in almost every

Lakeland program – our students engage with the real world before they become part of it. • Business students collaborate with industry partners, creating marketing plans for companies across North America with Riipen. • Taking turns as battalion chief, emergency services students experience the operation of a firehall from day one. • Working with real clients on practicum gives health care aide students real-world experience. • Award-winning designs, real clients and practicum placements add up to an

invaluable portfolio for interior design technology students. • University transfer students gain realworld experience teaching math to local children, conducting science experiments and more. • Whether it’s preemployment or apprenticeship, trades students train with experienced instructors, who’re closely linked with industry. Lakeland’s straightforward approach to a practical education gives students real-world results. Outside the classroom, Lakeland students find many ways to

grow, through athletics, clubs, performing arts, rodeo, students’ associations, research, Indigenous initiatives, recreation facilities, public speaking and more. Lakeland students thrive because their instructors and mentors trust them to think, learn and act for themselves. That sense of trust empowers our students to believe in themselves and each other. It leads to confident, collaborative graduates who know they are ready to thrive in their chosen fields–and in life. Go beyond the classroom at Lakeland.

Bulldog’s shortstop commits to Taft College

Taylor Weaver Meridian Source

Brendan Hamilton signs his letter of intent to play ball at California’s Taft College with his parents, Debbie and Brent, by his side. TAYLOR WEAVER

EDITOR

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

There was cause for celebration among the local baseball community on Monday night, as the Bulldogs Baseball Academy’s own Branden Hamilton signed to play ball at Taft College in California. Hamilton, 17, is currently a Grade 12 student at Lloydminster Comprehensive High School and has been training with the Bulldogs since the age of 12. “I was a little shocked,” he said on Mo nday nig h t at t h e Synergy Vault.

“I kinda wanted to go to the East Coast because my grandparents live there, but when presented with California, I decided I couldn’t turn that down; nice weather, I get to play baseball all year, what could be better?” Bulldogs president and director of player development, Josh Herback-South, has watched Hamilton develop as a player over the years and is looking forward to seeing what he can do on the diamond in California. “Brendan has been with us since he was 12

or 13-years-old, so he’s one of the first kids (we started working with),” said Herback-South. “He’s an exceptional young man. He’s super smart, he’s really gifted with his feet and with his hands, and he has an exceptional bat as well. “I predict that he’ll go there and be successful and probably get himself a scholarship to a Division 1 or Division 2 school.” And how is the young shortstop feeling about heading down south to play ball? “It’s been a goal of mine for I don’t know how long,” said Hamilton. “I’m a U.S. citizen, so I think travelling over there will be a bit easier.” Hamilton has dual citizenship due to the fact his mom is a U.S. citizen and he still has grandparents living in Pittsburg. Herback-South also noted communication between the Bulldogs and Taft coaching staff began a couple of months ago. Despite other prospects in Valley City, North Dakota and Augustana, Taft turned out to be the best fit for Hamilton.

“It’s actually the college I went to my sophomore year,” said Herback-South. “It’s the same coach and same college. I’m excited for him to play there. It’s probably one of the better programs and better coaches that I’ve played for, so it’s a good opportunity for him to get down there and experience some of the things I did.” As far as the education side of things, Hamilton hasn’t actually decided what he’s planning on taking, but psychology seems to be the direction he’s leaning. “I like studying psychology and I like stuff

with the mind, and helping people out in that aspect,” he said. “I

like to help people out emotionally and make their lives better.”

Proceeds of crime supports new resources MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

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

The Government of Saskatchewan is providing more than $755,000 to police agencies and the Victims’ Fund from the Criminal Property Forfeiture Fund. The funds will support t he pu rchase of new policing tools, and delivery of community programming and victims services. Over $366,000 of this will be provided to Saskatchewan police forces. In accordance with legislation, a matching amount will be deposited from the Criminal Property Forfeiture Fund into the Victims’ Fund. The Victims’ Fund provides support to victims of crime through both the justice and law enforcement systems as well as community organizations. Further information can be found at www.saskatchewan. ca/victimsservices. An additional

$21,000 of this year’s funding will be distributed to the File Hills Board of Police Commissioners for community engagement and programming. “We are pleased to be able to take these seized proceeds of crime and put them toward a better use,” said Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant. “This funding will be used to provide Saskatchewan police with the tools they need to keep our communities safe and to provide important resources that support victims in our province.” The funding will be used to provide for the following: • A camera system to support the establishment of the Regina Police Service’s Aerial Support Unit. • An Advance Acquisition Lab to conduct digital forensics, unlock, and examine encrypted mobile devices (Saskatoon

Police Service). • A canine pup and associated training and equipment for the Weyburn Police Service. • Funds will also be distributed to the File Hills Board of Police Commissioners to purchase police fitness and wellness equipment that will be used in schools and community centres to give youth an opportunity to get to know and engage with local police officers. “The safety and wellbeing of our communities is the priority for Saskatchewan’s police services and we are grateful for the support of the Government of Saskatchewan,” said Saskatchewan Association of Chiefs of Police Vice President Chief Troy Cooper. “The much-needed funding through this program has provided an investment in innovative crime prevention, specialized equipment and even research.”

Agriculture

Canadian and Sask Govt. invest $5M in livestock research

rancis Drouin, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, on behalf of Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau, recently joined Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister, David Marit, in announcing a total of $5.1 million in funding for new research projects in 2022 related to livestock and forage. This year’s funding will support 28 projects through the province’s Agriculture Development Fund (ADF). “Research and innovation provide sustainable growth for the Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector,” said Parliamentary Secretary Drouin. “Our government is committed to investing in these areas to continue to increase both the productivity of our

businesses and their resilience to climate change.” “Research and innovation are major priorities for our government, and the ADF was created to reinforce work being done that is relevant to the future growth and competitiveness of Saskatchewan’s agriculture industry and the many producers and processors who make it what it is,” Marit said. “These investments in research will ensure Saskatchewan continues to set the standard when it comes to new ideas and approaches that support progress and best practices in agriculture not only here but around the world.” Subjects of this year’s research projects include the potential of native and tame forage species to enhance

carbon sequestration, expanded methods for reproduction diagnostics and improved control and treatments with respect to animal health. The Ministry of Agriculture has a research budget of $32.9 million in 2021-22 to support research and innovation, and concentrates its investments on projects that will help make Saskatchewan producers more profitable and more productive while increasing the competitiveness of the provincial industry. In addition to this year’s federal and provincial ADF funding, a total of $483,000 in support of 13 of these projects was contributed by three industry co-funders: - Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association (SCA)

- Saskatchewan Forage Seed Development Commission - Sask Milk

“Investment in research is a cornerstone for the advancement of our indus-

try,” SCA Chair Arnold Balicki said. CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

How to thrive in turbulent times MIDWEST MINUTE VERN McCLELLAND

It’s hard, in fact downright impossible, to watch or read news coverage today without seeing the debate around COVID mitigation measures. It has created an immeasurable impact on the mental health of many and taken more than a few down a dark pathway triggered by the additional stress. A recent report suggests alcohol and cannabis usage is up. Personally, I’ve gained weight, but I don’t think it has anything to do with the pandemic; but that is another story! We see the impact on real estate. Some families have decided to seek larger houses which can accommodate work or school from home. Empty nesters are looking at lake homes

or acreages which have good Internet access, choosing to mix employment requirements with more recreational opportunities. On the negative side, a significant number of people have lost their jobs or had their hours and income cut. For sure, the hospitality industry is suffering. According to www. opentable.com, seated diners in Canadian restaurants are down 71 per cent from 2019. So, what do you and I do about all this angst surrounding us? The truth is we can’t control what is going on, but we can control our reaction to it. Fear paralyzes and desire propels. You must not lose sight of who you are, and need to step forward with confidence. One of my mentors taught me that challenging times always create new opportuni-

File Photo ties. He was so right. The rise of online shopping, for example, and I suspect an aversion to being in a crowd, has eroded the concept of shopping at the big stores where you fight for space in the parking lot and stimulated the notion of groceries or goods being delivered directly to your vehicle or home. Which brings forth another principle. In

turbulent times, people look for the best expertise, and market share shifts from weak service providers to practitioners with a proven track record. The strong survive as they seize the day and make the best of whatever it holds. Some of my colleagues have caught fire in their practice by using state-of-the-art video productions or live online house tours thereby presenting the

attributes of the property without compromising the safety of the resident owners. So, clear away the clouds. Look for ways to become better at what you do, or if you prefer, take the chance to try something entirely new. I started my real estate career at age 48 because I wanted to be at home every night instead of constantly travelling in my work as a manage-

ment consultant. Eighteen years later I am still striving to improve my skill level, because if you are content with coasting, your foot is off the gas pedal.
