Marwayne makes a $plash

The children of Marwayne and the surrounding area have a fun way to keep cool this summer.

Half a million dollars —for a small community it’s a really big deal.

I’m really glad that the kids are enjoying it and I think that it’s going to bring lots of people into Marwayne.

On June 26, the village officially unveiled a brand-new splash park within the community.

“We had our grand opening last night from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. at Westview Park where it’s located. We did a ribbon cutting and our mayor gave a speech and we turned it on for the first time,” said Shannon Harrower, CAO for the Village of Marwayne.

“It was a beauti -

ful night; it was super sunny. We have a group of kids in the community that have a little ice cream golf cart, so they were there giving out ice cream.”

The idea for the splash park got its start a few years ago when the Village of Marwayne applied for funding.

“We had applied for the grant funding three years ago and we got wind we were approved last year and then we began construction right away ... we finalized all of the landscaping last month and opened it up,” Harrower explained.

“It’s open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week, unless there’s a water restriction in place for any reason, but otherwise it’s open 10 to 8. It’s going to be open from June until September— the Labour Day weekend every year.”

She said they’re hoping the park attracts new visitors to the village.

“When you come into Marwayne—if you go down 2nd Ave., which is the road our school is

on and our community hall is on … if you just drive straight down that road to the end you’ll see a big grass field, you can park there and then you can take the walking path up to the splash park,” said Harrower.

The walking path was

also built using a portion of the grant money.

“The project in total— we did 1,000 metres of walking trail and we did the splash park, so it was all under one big umbrella project,” explained Harrower.

The Village of Mar -

wayne received $25,000 from the County of Vermilion River from their park trust reserve, $375,000 from the federal government under the Canada Community Revitalization Fund program, and the village contributed $100,000

from its reserves.

“Half a million dollars—for a small community it’s a really big deal,” Harrower added.

“I’m really glad that the kids are enjoying it and I think that it’s going to bring lots of people into Marwayne.”

Encore dancers win big

Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia.

winning first place.”

A group of dancers from Studio Encore Dance Centre recently took a big city competition by storm.

The crew of 14 brought back the championship trophy from the Represent Dance Competition in Edmonton.

The event featured teams from across

“When they went to Represent, to be honest with you, they were extremely humbled just to be there,” said Danielle Neron, Encore Elite program director.

“They knew it was a very intense, strong competition so they just wanted to go there and represent Lloydminster to the best of their ability … they ended up

Neron said for a few of the dancers, it was their first year in hiphop.

“When we got there I don’t think they (the competition) even worried about our kids at all … they were the underdogs. They really were,” said Neron.

“A large group of kids from Lloydminster came together and really worked on a goal.

The youngest one is 13, all the way up to 18. So, a wide range of ages working together and supporting each other— it was amazing,” said Neron, adding their group had far less practice time than some of the other groups at the competition.

She said because Encore is a dance studio and not a hip-hop company, they could only dedicate about an hour and a half per week to their hip-hop piece because many of the participants were working on many other pieces in other genres as well.

“Their mission was to somehow train an hour and half a week and still be on the same playing ground as these hip-hop companies— kids that are doing hiphop multiple times a

week,” said Neron.

“They worked really hard and they were focused and dedicated to the program.”

They knew it was a very intense, strong competition so they just wanted to go there and represent Lloydminster to the best of their ability … they ended up winning first place.

The choreographers of the winning piece, called ‘Idle Hands’ were Jayla Walker and Reid Friedl.

“Reid comes from Vancouver to co-choreograph with Jayla

Walker and they’ll start again in September”, said Neron.

“This year we’re heading to Phoenix, Arizona to compete, and we will also be attending Represent (hip-hop comp) again because it was such a great experience. Regardless of what happens, they’ll always have that memory.”

The names of the dancers in the winning hip-hop group are Alia Skoretz, Britlynn Parsons, Emerson Chenard, Addison Hayward, Bree Hammel, Kaydence Sydia, Kadence Amundrud, Dylan Bulgin, Mia Lyndon, Sam Cey, Ali Stephenson, Amira Zwiers, Jhaira Hunt, Phoenix Wilson, EmmaLeigh Dziurzynski, Sydney Castle, and Ryelan Hassan.

Local grads win Synergy scholarships

A couple of Lloydminster and area high school grads will head to university this fall as winners of a Synergy Credit Union scholarship award.

This year’s Synergy Shares Scholarship prize of $1,000 per year for up to four years of post-education went to Clare Wever from Holy Rosary High School and Keiji Hopfner from Lashburn High School.

They were the students who best demonstrated academic excellence, community involvement and leadership potential among 85 applications.

Wever plans to attend the College of Agriculture and Bioresources at the University of Saskatchewan where she has been accepted into the bachelor of science in agriculture program.

“Once I graduate from the College of Agriculture, I would like to apply to the Western College of Veterinary Medicine. Currently, I aspire to specialize in poultry and flock medicine,” said Wever.

The second winner, Hopfner, will attend the University of Calgary to obtain a bachelor of science degree and then pursue a degree in medicine.

“I enjoy interacting with others and assisting those in need. I also want to have the expert abilities to help those close to me and my community and the financial resources to help others achieve their goals,” said Hopfner.

Synergy also offers an in-house scholarship to

children and spouses of Synergy employees and directors.

Haedyn Castle, the daughter of Lisa Castle, manager of retail and administrative services at Synergy in Lloydminster, won the $1,000 a year in-house scholarship for her post-secondary education.

She is currently

studying sciences and kinesiology at the University of Alberta in Camrose Alberta at the Augustana campus.

She plans to finish her undergraduate degree in Camrose and then make her way to the United States to complete her chiropractic degree.”

“My career aspira -

tion is to become a chiropractor when I finish my degree,” she said.

The Synergy scholarship program is open to all graduating high school seniors who plan to attend a college, university, or trade school in the upcoming academic year.

This year marks the third year of the award.

Rendell Park students celebrated the last day of school with a morning of fun outdoor activities on June 28 followed by noon dismissal.

Grade 4 students Alora Carter, Lilly Phipps, and Courtney Read were in high spirits as they recalled a few things they enjoyed during the school year.

“I liked being a milk

monitor and gym time is fun,” said Carter, adding she’s looking forward to summer break and an upcoming trip to Edmonton.

Phipps said she

was looking forward to attending summer camp and going on a trip to Banff.

“My favourite thing about this year was the dance parties,” she exclaimed.

“I’m excited to go to Fairmont and seeing my cousins at the lake,” said Read, adding her favourite things about school were being a milk monitor and doing math.

Grade 4 teacher Ashley Schneider said it

was a good year, adding it’s the first year where all activities were back to their usual format since the pandemic.

“We were able to have assemblies all together, our Carnival in February, and a normal in-person Christmas concert with par -

ents able to attend,” said Schneider.

LPSD schools will resume classes on Sept. 5, following the Labour Day long weekend.

With Saskatchewan’s 30th general election scheduled for Oct. 28, 2024, Lloydminster MLA Colleen Young isn’t wasting any time.

Young, who was first elected in November 2014 and has represented the Saskatchewan Party ever since, could be found rubbing elbows with potential voters last Thursday night at the Paradise Hill Community Hall during the party’s annual fundraising dinner and silent auction.

“Tonight is our Lloydminster constituency fundraiser,” said Young prior to dinner.

“We’ve had this as an annual fundraiser since 2019 and then, of course, COVID put everything on the back burner, so we were anxious to get things going again this year and get out and get the communities supporting the constituency, while also making sure that kettle is full come next election.”

Young also isn’t wasting any time due to the fact she has some competition in the upcoming election from former Sask Party president, James Thorsteinson, who announced he was running for leadership in late April.

“I do have competition, so right now

the idea is to get out, get support and have memberships sold and get people out to vote for me.”

Young also invited a couple of special guest speakers to last Thursday’s fundraiser and was

looking forward to hearing what they had to say.

Enrolment to jump at LCSD

GEOFF LEE WRITER

Students in the Lloydminster Catholic School Division (LCSD) will return to school on Sept. 5 with higher-than-expected enrolment.

The most significant increase will be felt at the Kindergarten level, according to LCSD director of education, Nigel McCarthy, in a year-end interview.

“We certainly have a strong Kindergarten class coming in as well as lots of interest in programming and school choice going on throughout the division,” said McCarthy.

“There’s lots of little ones in town that’s for sure.”

The library and outdoor classroom at Holy Rosary High School should also be finished by Sept. 1 to wrap up the $10 million renovation.

The expansion will allow the school to accommodate about 1,200 students, up from 750.

The opening of a new wing in February was one of the highlights of the past school year McCarthy spoke about on Friday, the day after graduation ceremonies.

He says the message principal Jeremy Blais and board chair Paul Scott told grads,

“even when the world presents you with challenges, it’s your character that enables you to overcome,” captured the moment well.

“It’s the qualities that you’ve learned here—integrity, faith, hard work that really allow a person to pursue a life well lived,” said McCarthy.

He says the role at LCSD and the high school is for parents and teachers to celebrate graduates to provide them with the best sendoff they can as a school and as a school division.

“Nearly 80 per cent of grads are off to college or trades school this fall,” he reported.

McCarthy has watched 26 classes cross the graduation stage during his career and says the experience is the same as when he graduated from high school many years ago.

“It’s about the optimism for the future that you see in young people 17 and 18 years of age ready to take on the world,” he said.

With students on summer vacation, there were a few last-minute details to wrap up at the division on Friday, including making sure the library and outdoor classroom construction was on track.

“I’m off to visit the job site and wish our

teachers well today and getting to say thank you for a great year,” said McCarthy.

“The highlights were things like the championships that students won across the school division and the excellent academic results we’ve seen.”

He says the Lloydminster Athletics hockey academy also has a successful first year with the boys playing hockey across Western Canada.

“I think they had an exciting experience involving travel and all sort of skill development as well as personal training,” said McCarthy.

The new hockey academy at Holy Rosary was announced last July for U14, U15 and U18 teams.

“There’s certainly lots of interest in specialty programs whether they be for arts or sports or academics,” said McCarthy.

“What we find is the centre of a child’s education is really developing that whole person no matter kind of program they are in.”

He says LCSD also looks forward to volleyball and basketball next year as well as hockey and some of the individual pursuits that students have to tailor their program.

Busy weekend for Sask RCMP

School ends with a flourish

noon on June 28.

When’s lunch? That’s what most students in the Lloydminster Public School Division (LPSD) were asking teachers on the final day of school with early dismissal at

The clock was also ticking for Jason Neville, director of education at LPSD with less than two hours to go before the cap and gown ceremony for Lloydminster Compre -

hensive High School grads at the WLS Convention Centre.

His role there each year is to support the Grade 12 grads.

“I have a niece graduating so that’s exciting for me too,” said Neville that morning.

He was also set to take in the grand march for grads the very next evening.

Neville revealed his general message for grads would be to just make sure they took some time to celebrate their accomplishments and enjoy the journey on whatever path they choose.

Neville recollects his own graduation from North Battleford Comprehensive High School and what the day means for grads.

“It’s more just enjoying that time spent with friends and family— kind of basking in the glory of being done—a huge piece of your life,” he said.

Neville went on to

obtain an undergraduate degree at the University of Saskatchewan and his masters at the University of Alberta.

This was Neville’s first year heading LPSD and he had a message ready to share with employees including teachers.

“For staff especially being in my first year, a huge message of appreciation for all the work they do for our students and make sure they enjoy their summer,” he said.

Looking back, he says one of the highlights this year at LPSD is the division’s booming arts, sports and hockey academies.

“The numbers there going into next year have exploded, so that’s good,” he said.

Neville was also pleased to see a huge number of schools resume extracurricular activities coming out of the pandemic.

“That really bounced

back,” he said.

Another notable highlight for him was having multiple schools in the division host Treaty 6 and flag-raising ceremonies throughout the year.

With summer vacations underway, construction crews will be back on site this week to resume work on the $28.8 million expansion at the high school.

Neville says the renovations are progressing well.

“We just did a tour last week and it seems like everything is kind of falling into place,” he reported.

“We’ll be able to close up the whole building and we’ll see what it looks like come Sept. 1.”

The overall project includes the construction of a new wing that will house 17 classrooms, a new home economics lab and the Synergy Place gym.

The expansion will

“We’ll have a concession stand there and stuff … so there are some really good burgers—some of the best burgers ever,” Deeg exclaimed.

“I think Prairie Lily Coffee will be there, and probably a couple of other vendors.”

Deeg added there will be awards given out, as well.

“This usually happens between 3 and 4 p.m. Everyone is welcome. Whatever we make there goes back into the community,” said Deeg.

Registration will take place from 9 a.m. to noon, and the show will run until 4 p.m.

accommodate about 330 Grade 9 students starting in the fall of 2024.

“The Grade 10 to 12s will be able to access the building prior to that in the second semester of the next 2023-24 school year,” said Neville.

Enrolment numbers at LPSD are also expected to be a bit higher this fall.

“I like to be a little conservative on that. We had to project our enrolment for next year back in January. We’ll be over 4,400. We crossed that threshold this year,” said Neville.

“We had a very big Kindergarten group come in this year so that was kind of our big jump there we weren’t anticipating. We’ll see where our Kindergarten numbers come in this year if that trend continues or was a onetime blip.”

Students go back to school on Sept. 5 for the 2023-24 season.

Cenovus targets methane emissions

Cenovus Energy plans to cut total methane emissions in its upstream operations by 80 per cent by yearend 2028 from a 2019 baseline.

The new target follows the release of the company’s 2022 environmental, social and governance (ESG) progress report last week detailing its sustainability performance.

“Strong sustainability performance is fundamental to our business and we continue to pursue opportunities to progress our ESG targets and ambition for net zero emissions from operations by 2050, including establishing our new methane milestone,” said Cenovus president and CEO Jon McKenzie.

The ESG report provides details on climate and greenhouse gas emissions, water stewardship, biodiversity, Indigenous reconciliation, and inclusion and diversity – as well as safety and governance performance.

In 2022, the company continued to make progress on several goals, including reducing total methane emissions in upstream operations by 32 per cent from 2021 levels, and 59 per cent between 2019 and 2022.

The company also completed more than 1,800 optical gas imaging surveys and an alternative fugitive emissions management program aerial screening pilot to improve methane detection and quantification.

The grand environmental plan is to reduce total GHG emissions by 35 per cent by year-end 2035 on the path to net zero.

Rhona DelFrari, Cenovus’ chief sustainability officer and executive vice president, stakeholder engagement, also talked about emissions

reduction progress in a video presentation.

“On greenhouse gases where we get the most scrutiny, we are doing the upfront work necessary to get several additional carbon capture projects off the ground,” said DelFrari.

The 2022 ESG report notes Cenovus drilled an appraisal well at its Minnedosa ethanol plant in Manitoba to better understand the reservoir where CO2 would be stored.

The company also worked on completing design and engineering studies for phase 1 carbon capture and storage at its Christina Lake oil sands facility.

On Indigenous reconciliation, Cenovus spent $395 million on Indigenous businesses such as engineering and construction services in 2022.

Building on this work, in the first quarter of 2023, Cenovus has now achieved its target of spending at least $1.2 billion with Indigenous businesses from 2019 to year-end 2025.

“Reaching our minimum Indigenous business spend a target two years ahead of schedule is one way to demonstrate our commitment to advancing Indigenous reconciliation,” said DelFrari.

“We’re continually looking for opportu -

nities to expand the scope of work we do with local Indigenous communities and businesses in the areas where we operate.”

On biodiversity, Cenovus reclaimed another 537 decommissioned well sites. The company is two-thirds of the way to its target of reclaiming 3,000 decommissioned well sites by the end of 2025.

In 2022. the company planted more than 570,000 trees within its forested reclamation areas.

“We’re more than halfway to restoring more habitat than we use in the Cold Lake caribou range by yearend 2030,” added DelFrari.

The ESG report also notes the company maintained its targetlevel oil sands freshwater ratio at 0.12 barrels of water per barrel of oil equivalent.

Cenovus is also implementing plans to reduce fresh water at its thermal operations and expects to see results this year.

The company is assessing the results of workforce inclusivity and diversity goals as it works to add a diversity target beyond gender in 2023.

Cenovus also conducted a voluntary selfidentification survey for staff in 2022.

Leeway from Lloyd: Energy sector steps up again

ships and advertising.

The Provost Alberta arena is called Crescent Point Place Regional Activity Centre after the oil company, Crescent Point.

2017

The $5 million contribution by Cenovus Energy for the naming rights, construction and programming at the new event arena in Lloydminster is another example of how much positive impact oil and gas companies play at the community level in Western Canada.

The Cenovus contribution is the largest ever in Lloydminster reflecting the company’s 80 years of history in the heavy oil industry in the region.

The donation makes sense given the company employs about 2,000 employees and the families in the region who use these types of recreational facilities.

Many of those employees and those of other energy companies also volunteer countless hours to support sports, culture and education in the area along with all types of sponsor -

In my former travels as an oil and gas reporter, I saw firsthand the huge local impact the energy sector has on communities where they operate with naming rights etc. Unfortunately, that is usually overlooked in the grand scheme of public awareness, but it bears repeating.

It shouldn’t take an observer very long to note many other rinks in our city are named after oilfield companies along with the names of sector advertisers on rink boards and sports jerseys etc.

The Cenovus Energy Hub name on the arena will be a reminder of the community support Cenovus is generating.

It also emphasizes their intention to be a part of the regional economy for years to come signalling to other businesses that Lloyd is a stable and growing city.

The $5 million contribution includes $3 million to the community fundraising campaign to start construction of the $93.9 million facility this year.

It should stoke other businesses to jump on the fundraising and sponsorship bandwagon.

The name Cenovus Energy Hub is way better than Lloyd’s Igloo or Our Grand Central Rink, and there would be no money or pride generated in those. The official name says this is how important the oil and gas sector is in Western Canada. Hats off for dropping all those bucks for pucks.

Last week in the field

Sask Crop Report

Northwest Saskatchewan continues to struggle through dry conditions as they came through another hot and relatively rain-free week prior to the long weekend.

Very spotty and isolated rain showers passed through the region, leaving producers anxious about how much longer their crops can go on without significant moisture.

Crops are starting to mature rapidly in response to their growing conditions and this could possibly limit their yield potential and quality.

Sixty-two per cent of the spring cereals, 63 per cent of the oilseed crops and 71 per cent of the pulse crops are at their normal stages of development for this time of year.

The remaining crops are rated as being ahead of normal development. This trend will continue to get worse if the hot, dry conditions continue.

Crop conditions range from fair to good in the region, with 57 per cent of the spring wheat, 52 per cent of the canola and 45 per cent of the peas being in good condition at this time.

There was some heavy precipitation and hail in the North Battleford area.

In areas with most severe hail, Canola was affected the worst, followed by cereal

crops such as wheat and barley.

With the hailstorm came 50 mm of rain which also resulted in flooding and further crop damage, rainfall across the region ranged from two mm up to 50 mm.

Cropland topsoil moisture rated as one per cent surplus, 53 per cent adequate, 36 per cent short and 10 per cent very short.

Hay and pasture land topsoil moisture is rated as seven per cent surplus, 45 per cent adequate, 32 per cent short and 17 per cent very short.

Haying has been slow in the region with only eight per cent of the crop cut and the rest still standing. Hay quality is rated as 11 per cent excellent, 33 per cent good, 44 per cent fair and 11 per cent poor.

The majority of crop damage this week was from flooding, severe hail and wind.

Insect pests are causing some issues across the region and producers have been busy spraying to keep them under control.

Being a parent isn’t for the faint hearted

MIDWEST MINUTE VERN McCLELLAND

I was the fortunate son.

Being the third one in line, with 12 years between my oldest brother and I, the edges had been knocked off the whole parenting thing by the time I came along.

Let’s be truthful, I wasn’t the easiest child, continually testing mom and dad’s patience.

Later in life, with children of my own, I realized just how patient they had been with me, letting me stretch my wings, especially during my teenage years.

When needed though, dad had a knack for being able to tell a story to get his point across, often drawing from his own experiences.

Rarely lecturing, always teaching.

For example, the

importance of treating people with respect, no matter what their station in life was.

Today, as a father and grandfather, I am gaining an understanding of how difficult it is to be supportive of your loved ones without jumping in right away with a solution.

And if you are in a long-term business relationship with an adult child; and I am with both of mine, being able to express your thoughts and feelings without smothering theirs.

Let’s face it, the next generation is much more prepared for the challenges of today’s world than I feel I am.

I admire family farms and businesses that seemingly enable the patriarch and matriarch to “step back without stepping away.”

If you have been making major decisions for decades, and now can allow your son

or daughter to make strategic choices that impact everyone, well you are better at transitioning commensurate authority with responsibility than most.

In my work as an agricultural and commercial specialist, it is a rare day when I am not in conversation

with one generation or the other about their views of the future.

It makes me regularly review my own circumstances and honestly, I think it is time for me to adapt to a new role doing what I do best, and letting family do what they do best.

Good for my well-

being, and I am quite sure, for theirs as well.

My hope is to see all my granddaughters grow up before I pass on.

Hopefully, I will have enough summers to see that goal achieved but who knows?

So, if there is a change needed, I guess

I better start now! Vern McClelland is an associate broker with RE/MAX of Lloydminster and an active partner in his family’s livestock operation. Comments on this article are welcome either by emailing vernmcclelland@remax.net or calling 306-821-0611.

Richardson ready for football dreams to become reality

Lloydminster Comprehensive High School (LCHS) Barons quarterback Riley Richardson won’t have much off-time this summer as he prepares to play linebacker for the University of Alberta Golden Bears on an athletic scholarship in the fall.

The 18-year-old recent Lloyd Comp graduate, who currently stands 5’11” and weighs 200 lbs., started playing football roughly 11 years ago and explained once he got a grasp of the game, he wanted to see how far he could take it.

“Going into high school, I wanted to leave with a scholarship

to play somewhere, so I’m very excited about that,” he said.

Richardson will be studying for a degree in business at the U of A with a minor in political science. He said he hopes to return to Lloyd one day to work a trade and start his own business in that trade.

“I tell everyone my backup plan first, but truthfully, I want to go to the CFL; that’s my dream,” he said.

“I have to ride out that dream as long as I can, but it’s also important I have a backup plan, do schooling, and get my academics right first.”

When it comes to academics and football IQ, LCHS teacher and football coach Kieran Link, is optimistic.

“He’s got a great work ethic and is very intelligent, so university shouldn’t be an issue, he should do well there,” said Link.

“We played him at quarterback because he was probably our best athlete, and at the next level, he’s playing linebacker. He packs a pretty big punch for his size.”

For Richardson, trying to turn his dreams into a reality is something he takes seriously.

“This is the real deal… high school football was fun, but this is business; this is the time to really lock down and get the body and the mind

right,” he said.

“I’m excited to see what these next four or five years can bring, and I guess really showcase what I can do and how far I can go.”

For Richardson, keeping the body and mind in check is something he learned from his dad, Ray, at a young age.

“My dad was a wicked rugby player and played nationally, and he really got me into football,” he said.

“He always told me ‘the best ability is to be available.’ He taught me how to take care of myself, which allowed me to play longer.”

As far as university football as a whole goes, Richardson explained he’s most looking forward to the experience

and his new teammates.

“The head coach was the guy that really took interest in me, which is why I decided to go to the U of A,” he said.

Coach Link is also looking forward to seeing how far Richardson can take his football career, but noted ‘time will tell.’

“He’ll be playing against 23-year-old men as an 18-year-old, so there’s a big physical jump from high school to the U Sports level,” explained Link.

“He’s consistent, fast, physical and hardworking ... the big but with U Sports is they recruit from all over the nation now and bring in the best players ... but as I said, he packs a pretty big punch”

Taylor Weaver Meridian Source LCHS quarterback Riley Richardson was all smiles outside his home on “cap and grown day” as he chatted with the Meridian Source about his upcoming season with the U of A Golden Bears.

Raider running back/receiver makes Team Alberta

Holy Rosary High School’s (HRHS)

Ethan Grannum will finally have the chance he’s been waiting two years for as he heads to Edmonton to represent Alberta in the Football Canada Cup National Championship.

Grannum, a 15-yearold running back/ receiver who just finished his Grade 10 year at HRHS, was absolutely beaming after recently finding out he made the final roster for this year’s Team Alberta U18 squad.

Grannum made it through three rounds of selection camps that trimmed 467 registrants down to the final 40-player roster.

The Football Canada Cup is being held in Edmonton from July 7-15 with the final games being played at Commonwealth Stadium on July 15.

“My goal is to perform,” said Grannum

of his plans for this week.

“My whole last two years of football I didn’t get to play because of injuries, so this year I’m trying to bring back what I can do.”

Being one of four running backs vying for a spot on this year’s roster, Grannum explained he’s already learned a lot through the try-out process.

“The competition was great,” he said.

“It was a great learning experience and helped me learn a lot about what to do and what to focus on.

The team, everyone is great, we’re all great. We’re not that close yet, but we have two weeks together. We’ll get really close and it’ll be a great experience.”

Keegan Kozak, receivers’ coach at HRHS, explained this is a great opportunity for the young athlete to really showcase what he’s got.

“His football IQ is unbelievable; it’s unmatched,” said Kozak.

“His athleticism, his knowledge of the game and his coachability is really awesome, and it’s a major part of his success. It’s a great opportunity for him.

“To come back from a season-ending injury and be able to make U18, it’s fantastic to see and it’s awesome for him to get another opportunity to be able to go play and showcase his athleticism and skill.”

Despite only being in Grade 10, Grannum is already looking at options for post-secondary education.

“Computer science, I’m kinda following in my brother’s footsteps.”

Grannum’s brother, Donivan, was a member of the 2013 Team Alberta roster before going on to play for the U of A Golden Bears the following year.

Adversity on the Western prairie

encroachment.

Interestingly, the editor in a sidenote wasn’t sure if this was actually considered an encroachment or if it was perfectly within the builder’s rights.

The editor thought perhaps he had purchased the town lots with the understanding that eight feet would be taken off the lot frontage.

was an “offer to pay cash for your wheat, or exchange goods for your oats, corn, beans, butter, eggs and hay.”

and a portion of funds from mail order sales weren’t designated for contribution.

The defacement of Broadway Avenue began with the encroachment of a building onto public property (1910).

The business in question wasn’t identified in the Lloydminster Times other than saying it was “a contractor’s yard abutting over the frontage here of the above thorough -

fare, and just lately placed there as though he came into an inheritance of eight feet for the matter of taking it.”

Locals were understandably upset and requested the assistance of town council to enforce the need for proper inspections regarding building frontages.

This effort would “safeguard the rights and original public spirit shown by the pioneer builders and creators of our town.”

Especially upset were those pioneers who gave their fair share in compensation to builders on the east side of Broadway, which included the provision of eight feet of space dedicated to public use. Council was planning in advance for the future of Broadway as a wide and important avenue for the townsfolk.

A letter to the editor was signed by nine businessmen, including Wes Rendell, who strongly objected to this

The question of buying locally or supporting mail-order catalogues was an interesting dilemma.

Folks were encouraged to relax at their table where the window light would shine on each page.

Putting your pair of eyeglasses on would ensure no bargain on the pages would be missed.

Each catalogue was special for what it contained and then again for what it didn’t contain.

What didn’t appear on the printed pages

This effort would “safeguard the rights and original public spirit shown by the pioneer builders and creators of our town.”

Also, there was no mention of what the mail-order company would pay for livestock at their depot. No statements were made in regard to the taxes they would pay to support local schools and educate the children, or for improving roads and bridges for the transportation expense of running the business.

Churches were an important foundation of most settlements

During the years of bad crops, illness, injury and misfortune, folks could not expect a line of credit to be extended when cash could not be sent to pay for an order.

There are times as a writer what you leave out in your writing is as important as what you leave in.

Every story has diverse aspects and many opinions which are subject to the reader’s interpretation. Allen Ginsberg, a controversial American writer and poet once wrote, “To gain your own voice, you have to forget about having it heard.”

The voices of our early pioneers were clearly heard, no matter what dilemma developed. They strongly believed in supporting their local businesses.
