..................................
After months of fielding questions and trying to keep residents happy, while also safe, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe made an exciting announcement Tuesday afternoon. Beginning Monday, July 6, indoor pools, indoor rinks, indoor sports and activities, and the performing arts – including music, dance and theatre – will be able to re-open. The seating capacity for restaurants and licensed establishments will also increase that same day
to a level that allows staff and customers to maintain two metres of physical distance. On Thursday, July 9, casinos and bingo halls are able to re-open for business. This includes Lloydminster’s Gold Horse Casino, which will open that day at 6 p.m. and then follow regular business hours from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. The guidelines for businesses and activities re-opening on July 6 and July 9 are included in this week’s update to the plan to re-open the provincial economy.
Racetracks and rodeorelated activities, including barrel racing, will also resume on July 16. Guidelines are being developed and will include guidance related to spectators. “While localized outbreaks will continue to occur, the number of active cases in our province remains very low,” said Moe. “With just six active cases in the north region, four in the Saskatoon region, no active cases in Regina and the central regions of this province. “With these re-openings, virtually every
With these re-openings, virtually every kind of business, facility, service and activity in this province are now re-open, (and) again, I want to thank everyone in Saskatchewan for everything you’ve done to control the spread of COVID-19.
“I want to thank you for your patience as well, as we moved as quickly as possible, but also as safely as possible, through the reopening phases, and I want to encourage everyone to continue all of the
good practices that have gotten us this far.” Moe explained the provincial government has also been working with the Saskatchewan Health Authority on new guidelines to provide greater opportunity for Sask. residents to visit family members in long-term care facilities and hospitals. “We still have to be very careful in those facilities as that is where some of the most dangerous outbreaks have occurred,” he said. “So we’re working to find balance that will keep everyone safe, while recognizing how critically important it is for hospital patients and our seniors in our long-term care homes to be able to see members of their family, and we expect an announcement on that later this week.” The City of Lloydminster welcomed the news as they continue their efforts to get the Border City back to some kind of new normal. “After prolonged closures and travel sus-
pensions, we know the community is excited to return to their active lifestyles,” said Mayor Gerald Aalbers. “As such, we welcome the Government of Saskatchewan’s announcement and its diligent work in advancing the reopening of our economy. “The newly-updated guidelines are robust and will play a significant role in determining the next steps for opening the remaining Cityowned municipal buildings and amenities.” With more restrictions being lifted, Moe reminded residents to “not let our guard down, even for a moment.” “While we will need to move forward very cautiously with Phase 5, which is lifting the restrictions on large gatherings, we know that in Saskatchewan, and elsewhere, large gatherings have resulted in some of the largest outbreaks,” he said. “So, we will need to be very cautious in relaxing those (current) restrictions.”

A new online service simplifies the registration process across provincial lines, making it easier for owners to grow their business.
“
MRAS makes it easier for Alberta job creators to expand their operations across Western Canada and for western Canadian job creators to grow into Alberta.
Until now, Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba had separate processes and systems for corporations and limited partnerships to
complete their extraprovincial business registrations and maintenance filings. On June 27, the four provinces were the first to implement the online Multi-jurisdictional Registry Access Service (MRAS), a hub that allows corporate information sharing between the provinces, making extra-provincial registration faster and easier. “The launch of this online service is just one of the ways we are cutting red tape for businesses, which is especially important as we relaunch our economy,” said Minister of Service Alberta Nate Glubish. “MRAS is convenient and efficient, and makes it easier for Alberta job creators to expand their operations across Western Canada and for western Cana-

dian job creators to grow into Alberta.” As members of the New West Partnership Trade Agreement, the four western provinces committed to reconciling business registration and reporting requirements between the jurisdictions, thus simplifying extra-provincial business registration processes. “We are always pleased to reduce red tape and make it easier for businesses to register and set up operations in Saskatchewan and Western Canada,” Don Morgan, Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Government of Saskatchewan. Through MRAS, other jurisdictions will eventually be able to share corporate information, thus extending the New West Partnership’s efficiencies across Canada.

LPSD talks reopening, provincial funding TAYLOR WEAVER
EDITOR
..................................
Funding from the Saskatchewan government gave the Lloydminster Public School Division (LPSD) something to smile about last week as they announced an expansion, structure changes to the Lloydminster Comprehensive High School (LCHS) as well as classroom reentry next year. The funding was part of the government’s $110.5 million for six new major infrastructure projects for school divisions in communities across the province. These projects are part of the Government of Saskatchewan’s $7.5 billion two-year capital to plan to build a strong Saskatchewan and stimulate Saskatchewan’s economic recovery. Not only will LCHS be seeing an expansion, but they will also be changing their structure to a Grade 9-12 model from their current Grade 10-12 model. “It’s just over $26 million that will allow us to do a variety of different things,” said LCHS principal, Dwayne Marciniw. “Some of our instructional spaces are cramped right now, and as we speak to other high schools across the province, the model is a 9-12 model, and there are some benefits that come along with that. “We’re super excited to meet the needs of LPSD in a little bit of a different way. The research around the Grade 9s joining the Grade 10-12 cohort has lots of benefits socially and academically.” Marciniw explained LCHS will see a second-level addition to the school among other

growth, including the school’s gymnasium. “I think there will be plans to add an additional field house for extra-curricular work, and the sheer instructional spaces that will allow us to create some new and unique instructional spaces,” he said. LPSD Director of Education, Todd Robinson, shared in Marciniw’s excitement and spoke on the division’s plans for the future. “S c h o o ls are g o in g to look similar to what they looked like prior to COVID back in March, but like anything, it will have an impact on how schools look, just like every aspect of our life now looks a bit different,” said Robinson. “Parents are going to be asked, if possible, to transport their own children (to school), and that’s an ‘ask’ right from the ministry. We understand there are families that can’t, and for (them), we’ll be asking them to register their children to ride buses, and kids will have assigned seats to contract trace if need be.” When it comes down
to specific changes at LCHS, Robinson said students will be taking fewer classes throughout the day, but those classes will be longer in duration.
Stay tuned for updates on the school’s expansion project as well as information pertaining to students returning to the classrooms in September.

..................................
The Rotary Club of Lloydminster proved it isn’t letting the COVID19 blues dampen their spirits with a $20,000 donation to the Lloydminster Region Health Foundation (LRHF). A cheque was presented to LRHF CEO, Malcolm Radke, on Monday night during the club’s annual President’s BBQ. “Every year, the Rotary Club of Lloydminster’s president has discretionary funds to the tune of $20,000 that they decide (to donate) to a cause they might be passionate about,” said outgoing Rotary Club of Lloydminster President,
Stan Bugiera. “Last year we did Vic Juba, and we do different things every year. This year I thought, and it’s timely with the COVID, so we thought what we’ll do is maybe designate $10,000 to additional COVID relief, and an additional $10,000 to the coordination of mental health services in the community. “We have lots of resources in the community, so when people are in crisis, the last thing they need to be doing is trying to sort things about.” Bugiera explained how fundraising looked a bit different this year in light of COVID-19, b u t Ro t ary me mb e rs
didn’t let that get in the way of the bigger picture of bettering the community. “We did lose one of our key fundraiser components, which is Lobster Fest, a good old fashioned spring party the community looks forward to every year,” he said. “It’s tough to do the things we want to do in the community, but by the same token, we did what we could and reacted and responded. “We’re proud we’re supporting local and trying to get everybody better off going forward.” Monday night’s guest of honour, LRHF CEO, Malcolm Radke, was elated to accept
such a generous donation on behalf of the health foundation and knows how far this funding will go to help the community. “(It’s) incredible news from Stan and the Rotary club,” said Radke on Monday night. “We were overthe-moon excited when we heard that news, and any time there’s a big cheque it’s a good day for us, especially these days.” With $10,000 going towards the LRHF’s COVID-19 Response Fund and $10,000 going towards Project Sunrise for better mental health care and support, Radke estimated the LRHF was spent roughly $175,000 on the COVID-19 relief fund and raised roughly $150,000. “We knew from the get-go, if the need was there for local physicians or any frontline staff of any type, we weren’t going to say no,” said Radke. “We had cash in reserves for something like the COVID-19 pandemic, so it’s been very well supported from a variety of people, and Stan and the Rotary club were instrumental in helping us find PPE when this started and now they’re giving cash, which is huge as well.”

The buzz from the Lloyd RCMP INSPECTOR LEE BRACHMANN OFFICER IN CHARGE, LLOYDMINSTER RCMP DETACHMENT
..................................
Given that I wrote about year-to-date crime trends in Lloydminster a few weeks ago, I thought I would instead focus this week’s article on providing an update on the Lloydminster RCMP’s operations relative to the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the pandemic, the Lloydminster RCMP has continued to provide a full spectrum of policing services to our community, including providing front counter services in a scaleddown capacity. I’m happy to announce that, starting June 29, the front counter of the Lloydminster RCMP increased its operations. While we are not yet operating at a pre-pandemic level of service and are still controlling access to the detachment, we are enhancing fingerprinting and criminal record check availability.
If you need a criminal record check for employment or other urgent purposes, we would be happy to process your request. Our current turnaround time for criminal record check results is 7 days. If you can please call the detachment before you arrive, if possible, so we can expect your visit, it would be appreciated. Fingerprinting for civil purposes will now be completed by appointment only. Please call our detachment ahead of time to book a fingerprinting time slot. For the safety of our staff who are unable to physically distance during the fingerprinting process, we ask that you wear a mask. If you do not have one, we will provide you with one. Our staff will also be wearing all necessary and appropriate personal protective equipment to ensure their health and safety as well as yours. Access to our front counter and detachment
will continue to be controlled during this time. When you arrive, please call our office and we will let you into the lobby. We are allowing up to five people into our lobby at a time. The capacity for our outer vestibule is two people. If you arrive and there are already two people waiting in the outer vestibule, we kindly ask that you wait your turn either outside or in your vehicle. If you are sick, we ask that you postpone your visit until you are well. Despite its challenges, the COVID-19 pandemic has provided the Lloydminster RCMP with an opportunity to develop enhancements to our service delivery. For instance, if you call the RCMP and your complaint is not an emergency and does not require the physical attendance of a police officer, our dispatchers will refer you to our newly-created Call Back Unit for follow up.

Leeway from Lloyd: Alberta open for business STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE
More jobs and investment may be forthcoming thanks to some of the incentives for businesses revealed in Alberta’s Recovery Plan released Monday by Premier Jason Kenney. The plan is highlighted by a bold move that has cut corporate taxes from 10 per cent to 8 per cent effective July 1. Alberta now has the lowest business tax rate
of all provinces in Canada by 4 per cent. While the cut may add up to $30 0 mi l l i o n to th i s year’s soaring deficit, the long-term projection is to create thousands of jobs over the next four years. The tax cut could be attractive enough to draw some head offices from Ontario to Calgary. The plan will also invest $10 billion in infrastructure including roads, bridges, hospitals and long-term care homes, schools, pipelines and gas lines and

The Call Back Unit is comprised of experienced police officers who will help you with your complaint via phone or other electronic means, and conduct investigational steps that do not require a police officer to be on scene. If your matter is an emergency or requires the physical attendance of police officers, they will be dispatched to you. We have found these enhancements have reduced unnecessary inperson contact, thereby helping our
water projects. Kenney projects the investment will create another 50,000 jobs. The plan also calls for a reduction in temporary foreign workers in most sectors in 2020, given the unemployment rate is nearly 25 per cent. Alberta will also offer incentives for high-tech companies and other sector-specific programs the NDP started, only to be cut by the UCP, to diversify the economy. CONTINUED ON PAGE 7
officers and our clients stay healthy and safe. We have also found that the Call Back Unit has allowed our police officers to enhance their proactive service delivery in the community while continuing to ensure prompt follow up with our clients. On behalf of the Lloydminster RCMP Detachment, I want to sincerely thank the citizens of Lloydminster and area for your continued support during these unprecedented times.

Diversification is something the NDP did well, while the UCP has been largely fixated on the energy sector to a fault until COVID-19 changed the game. COVID and low global energy prices have forced Alberta to spend $14 billion in relief, while the deficit has gone from $7 billion in March to more than $20 billion today. The Alberta recovery plan is aimed at righting the economic ship and follows the release last week of 25 economic recommendations of the province’s
Fair Deal Plan. That plan is intended to give Alberta a stronger voice in Confederation with a referendum on equalization payments in 2021. Other ideas include creating a provincial police force and pulling out of the Canada Pension Plan. NDP opposition leader Rachel Notley called that plan a distraction, noting many of the recommendations are outside of the province’s jurisdiction. The new recovery plan seems much more promising while adding to the deficit.

Softball returns to Legion Ball Park JAMIE HARKINS
WRITER
..................................
The Lloydminster Liners are back on the field. “I’m excited,” said U19 Liners shortstop Lindsay Mayo as the team’s first practice at Legion Ball Park got underway last Tuesday. “I was really upset that (sitting out) was going to be how my last year would end. So, I’m excited to get back out to play with some awesome girls and just have fun.” Pam Minish, president of the Lloydminster Amateur Softball Association, said their U10 to U19 competitive teams returned to practice last week with the possibility that an intermediate club could join them later this summer. She said a decision has been made to keep the initiation, U8 and city league seasons shuttered, based on responses gathered in a survey taken at the beginning of April. “We’re doing a modified U10 competitive season where they’re going to do a little bit of evaluation, then we’ll decide if they’re going to split off into equal t e a ms a nd p l a y e a c h other,” said Minish. “But, right now they’re just really focusing on the skills. Actually, I think with all of our teams that is mainly what they’re focusing
on. It’s just the skill set to make sure these girls are still touching the ball and having that muscle memory.” Minish said each of the clubs will decide on their own what their seasons will look like. She said some of the younger groups will just complete a three to four-week campaign, while the older girls will likely play into August. “There are no provincial championships, no nationals and no westerns,” she said. “It’s definitely going to look different, but we just want to make sure the girls are training.” Softball Alberta announced that teams could start practising on June 15 as part of Phase 1 of their return-to-play guidelines. Games within designated 50-participant cohorts are allowed to begin July 6 upon the commencement of Phase 2. Strict safety protocols including maintaining physical distancing, minimal shared use of equipment, the recording of all participant’s first and last names before practices for contact tracing purposes as well as the banning of sunflower seeds, gum and spitting are in place. “In a way, I think that needs to happen because the virus is still ongoing,” said Bryn Pollard, a shortstop for the

U19 Liners. “It can be a little bit too much at times, but they’re just trying to keep us safe. No one wants to get sick, so I agree with what they’re doing.” Donnie Atkinson, coach of the U19 Liners, said they’re working with the infielders and outfielders in two separate groups along with having the pitchers and catchers run through drills two at a time in an effort to keep the girls distanced from one another. He said they’re also just running 15-minute stations with breaks between to sanitize the balls and any equipment that is being used. “We’re running the infield where we have everyone out positionally, call situations and make it as gameready as we can,” said Atkinson. “It’s not just going to be fundamentals like
throwing and catching. We’ll run pick-offs and work on things like that. We want to be ready like it’s a regular season. We’re just trying to do it around the changes.” U19 Liners second baseman Shaye Holzinger said players did tee work along a bit of fielding individually and within a circle of family and close friends during the shutdown, but it doesn’t compare to training within a team environment. She said girls looking to try out for university clubs or those who have already made a post-secondary team have to keep the reps up in order to hold onto their spots. “Lacing up the cleats and having girls to practise and play with instead of one or two other people is huge,” said Holzinger. “It makes such a difference.”

MLB and the Blue Jays take flight SPORTS EDITOR JAMIE HARKINS
One thing that Toronto Blue Jays president Mark Shapiro disclosed to the media late last week was the fact they are expecting a lot of positive tests. And, no, he w a s n ’t t a l ki ng a b out performance-enhancing drugs. In case you haven’t heard, Major League Baseball owners and players finally, sort of, came to an agreement about restarting play this summer. Training camps opened on Canada Day, a 60-game season is expected to start on July 23 or 24 and playoffs will begin in late September. A few minutes after the announcement was made last Tuesday, COVID poked its head in and asked if it could
play too. That prompted Shapiro to ask the Canadian government if they could compete out of Toronto’s Rogers Centre.
“
Training camps opened on Canada Day, a 60-game season is expected to start on July 23 or 24 and playoffs will begin in late September.
The problem with that scenario is MLB isn’t using a hub city model, meaning the Jays along with the nine teams in the American and National League East that they’ll be facing, would be travelling back and forth between
Canada and the United States throughout the summer. Dr. Andrew Morris, a p r of e ssor of inf e ctious diseases at the University of Toronto and the medical director of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program at Sinai-University Health Network, told TSN the idea of having baseball players coming and going from the U.S. while COVID cases surge south of the 49th Parallel is an extremely bad one. I feel for the Jays, and well frankly for anyone who voted or will vote against the Donald, about being stuck in the States right now. But, I still think Trudeau should take the doctor’s advice. The going bet is the Jays will play out of TD Ballpark in Dunedin, Fla., this summer. The expectations
aren’t very high for the young club, especially considering the top-ranked New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, Philadelphia Phillies and reigning World Series champion Washington Nationals are in their division. But, you never know. If the young core of Vlad Guerrero Jr., Cavan Biggio and Bo Bichette come out
of the gate hot, Nate Pearson finds command of his 100-mph fastball and new ace Hyun-Jin Ryu repeats last year’s NL Cy Young runner-up perf or ma nc e th e y c o u l d put a scare into the competition. The guerilla in the room remains COVID. With no hub city model, the lack of a bubble or quarantine

concept for players moving back and forth from the stadiums and the idea of starting play in the middle of a pandemic surge leads to questions about if a restart is really possible and then how long it could keep going. As Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brett Anderson tweeted last week, “What happens when we all get it?”
