College Park School pulled out all the stops for its grand opening on Tuesday afternoon. The event, which lasted around two hours, featured a performance from the school choir and a video display, in addition to speeches from Vermilion-Lloydminster MLA Richard Starke, Lloydminster MLA Colleen Young and Mayor Rob Saunders, before the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “The physical facility itself is really inviting, it’s open, it’s airy, it’s a lot of natural light coming in, a lot of flexible spaces that we can move kids around and learn in different environments,” said principal Dave McLennan. The new Lloydminster Public School Division (LPSD) state-of-the-art school teaches pre-kindergarten to Grade 9. It officially opened in December, following construction delays that pushed the project back. “We were coming from four different schools at

the beginning of the year and we came in and it was inside of three days that it just felt like home,” McLennan said. “You would talk to (students) in the hallways and it was like they could just stretch and breathe and expand and it was really, really cool.” The grand opening was a particularly sweet moment for Young, who played a major role in getting the project approved as the LPSD chair at the time. She was present for the ground-breaking two and a half years ago. “We knew that it was going to be different than all of our other schools in our community and it was an opportunity to be a leader in designing a building that students felt every day when they came that it was bright and open and welcoming and a safe place to come to,” she said. Indeed, College Park School is a leader, as it is certified as a LEEDS (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) school. The building incorporates many environmentally-friendly and cost-effective features, including a solarwall in

the gym that will help heat the facility during the colder months, and translucent wall panels that will reduce heat caused by direct sunlight in the warmer months. “The other thing that I feel so strongly about is the attractive entrance,” said LPSD board of education chair David Thompson. “That has a psychological effect on students when they come, and on parents. “It just gives you a feeling that this is an inviting place.” Approximately 550 students currently attend College Park School, which cost around $29.5 million to build. It is Lloydminster’s only kindergarten to Grade 9 school. College Park School is divided into five learning pods, including a play space for kids in prekindergarten and kindergarten, student support rooms and break-out areas. The building also has a theatre and music room that will be used by students, as well as 95-space daycare open to the community.

Rotary Club awards its donations

by Alex Chippin alex@lloydminstersource.com

The Border City Rotary Club handed out donations to local organizations on June 2 from the money they collected during Irish Pub Night back in March. “In the past few years we’ve just donated to the (Lloydminster) Community Youth Centre (LCYC),” said Candace Odishaw, president of Border City Rotary Club. “But this year we felt it was important to spread the wealth a little bit to other organizations.” Odishaw says the decision to contribute financial assistance to multiple organizations, as well as which organizations to give to, was determined by the club’s members. In total, the group doled out $35,000 over the course of the club’s weekly meeting. The Rotary Club’s cheque presentations began with a $14,800 donation to the LCYC. “Every year when we get these things, we’re always amazed that other organizations are so generous

in helping us achieve our goals,” said Harland Lesyk, board director for the centre, who added that the money will be put towards ongoing expenses. “Rotary has been a huge supporter of the Lloydminster Community Youth Centre. We’re very, very happy that they are, we need them.” The Rotary Club also presented a $10,900 cheque to the Lloydminster Interval Home and a $3,000 cheque to the Lloydminster Public School Division drumline. “Our youth programs are extremely important to us. We see more children and youth in all of our facilities and in all of our programs than we actually do adults,” said Angela Rooks-Trotzuk, executive director of the Interval Home. Finally, the group set aside $6,300 for its own youth programs, which Odishaw says will serve initiatives like the 10-month exchange program. “Youth is our mandate, we just want to help as many youth as we can.” Tuesday morning was a bittersweet day for Odishaw, who likely

Prairie North balances budget by Jaime Polmateer jaime@lloydminstersource.com

The Prairie North Health Region (PNHR) managed to balanced the books for the 2015-16 operating year, despite facing some tough fiscal challenges. Finding efficiencies in what CEO David Fan says were main areas, they were able to close the gap without cutting programs, closing beds or laying off employees. Board members recently authorized an operating budget of $278.5 million which will be used for priorities like seniors’ care, primary health care and acute care. “It feels good because we started with a very challenging task to be honest,” said Fan of the balanced budget. “For months before the provincial budgets were tabled both in Saskatchewan and Alberta, we knew, given the economy as it is, given the tanking oil prices adversely affecting both provinces, we knew the budget was going to be a tough one.” The health region found enough savings internally in areas like sick time and overtime manage-

ment, sharing costs with other regional health authorities (RHA), and other general efficiencies to not only meet the funding gap but, to invest in new initiatives like developing a third operating room and an after-hours respiratory service. Fan says as a region they spend almost $10 million on sick time and overtime yearly, which comes out to roughly $5 million for each. Last year, they brought sick time down by $500,000, proving that finding savings in this area is doable, though Fan said it takes a lot of hard work. A big part of that was trying to bring down the number of workplace injuries that result in WCB claims and employee time loss. Over the last two years, PNHR was able to reduce workplace injuries by 25 per cent each year and Fan hopes to bring that down to zero, but said it may be impossible to get there. “The second area we have seen some success in as well is the area of so-called share services. Developing sharing services with surrounding RHAs,” said Fan. “Also, in terms of working with western provinces around group purchasing and sourcing supplies together, when you buy in bulk

collectively, you get better prices. We have seen some of those reductions as well.” One of the other areas involved surgeries and diagnostic procedures and whether or not they are appropriate in a given situation. The health region has met targets in speeding up surgical wait times, but Fan says they are beginning to ask if they are always needed. By seeing if there is something else that can be done before putting patients under the knife, there may be potential savings there as well with less stress on the patient. “I think those areas helped us close the gap and not have to cut programs and not have to close beds in spite of the fiscal challenges on both sides of the border,” he said. “We haven’t laid anybody off, in fact we added more positions because of all the important things we must do in Lloydminster.” Fan says a lot of it was also made possible with the help from the Lloydminster Region Health Foundation as the they aided with funding for many of PNHR’s new investments. “That is something I really want to throw out there and say thank you very much and I appreciate everything they do for us.”

Border City named one of the best places to live by Jaime Polmateer jaime@lloydminstersource.com

Lloydminster ranked in third place in MoneySense’s “Canada’s Best Places to Live – Reader’s Choice” contest with 73 votes. They finished behind Trois-Pistoles, Que., which got 78 and St. Albert, Alta., which led with the pack with 359. The city was submitted to the MoneySense website by the crew at the Lloydminster Economic Development Corporation (LEDC), in an effort to bring more exposure to Lloydminster as a good place to settle down. “It certainly made us happy,” said CEO of LEDC, Ward Read, of the ranking. “It’s nice to have some awareness and recognition and to do well amongst our peers.” The Reader’s Choice contest is a new feature this year that gives MoneySense readers a chance to show support for their favourite communities. It accompanies their general contest that, according to their website, internally ranks municipalities on criteria like job prospects, affordability, weather and dozens of other factors to get the big picture of each place’s overall livability. This year, 209 communities were ranked in the general contest and of those, Lloydminster came in 148th, which Read says was quite a bit lower than last year. “I think we were certainly below 100, I think in the 70s or 80s, if I recall,” he said of 2014’s survey. “So we’ll have to have a good look at the ranking system to see why that happened.” There are many factors that Read thinks makes Lloydminster a great place to live, including the opportunities that come from straddling the border of two provinces. This gives residents a chance to link into more sporting, cultural, and economic options they might not get living in a traditional city. He says people can be more confident that they’ll

find work here, earn income and support their families as well as give themselves more opportunities for things to do for fun and grow. “It’s really second to none,” he said. “When you put those things together, the economic activity and family and personal opportunity, it’s a great place.” It’s common knowledge to many that Lloydminster has a high population of transplants from other communities near and far. Read himself is from south of Saskatoon and his team at LEDC come from places like Maidstone, Turtleford and as far away as Ontario, none of them being born and raised right in Lloydminster. He says he also knows of many others that moved to town a long time ago and “just never left.” “It being a first-rate place to run a business, a number of people I interact with are business owners and I’ve certainly heard that without question. But beyond that it’s really been the sense of community, and to sort of compare ourselves to our friends to the north in Wood Buffalo, our real strength is, of course, the economy but some of the community features aren’t there as strongly,” he said. “Like here for instance, in Lloydminster you can do kindergarten right through to a bachelor’s degree without leaving the community. Not many communities have that opportunity. And with athletics, sports and culture it’s kind of off the map with how strong that is.” The group at the LEDC plans to enter the Border City into the contest again next year, but this time with with a bit more preparation in hopes of improving the town’s placing. “We will definitely take any opportunity where we can to work and try to make sure both people inside of our community recognize it as great and that we show and tell others that are not in Lloydminster,” Read said. “If MoneySense chooses to offer this, we will definitely jump on it and try to be more co-ordinated and see if we can catch that top spot.”

City, county resume annexation talks The County of Vermilion River and the City of Lloydminster continued discussions on the proposed land annexation last month. According to a news release, representatives from both the county and city’s respective Inter-municipal Annexation Negotiation Committees reviewed and discussed issues related to inter-municipal planning. The process has brought forth a need to undertake a joint regional growth study that would outline a forecast horizon for the next 30 years. This would define a beneficial growth scenario for the region. “The project remains in its infancy and we will continue to work with our partners throughout the community to best determine next steps,” said Lloydminster Mayor Rob Saunders. “The joint growth study will provide an updated view of growth within the region.” “Our region has grown significantly in recent years,” country Reeve Daryl Watt. “To recognize our progress, a joint growth study will provide insight into future growth and will serve our region going forward.” In, 2014, Lloydminster city council approved a motion to begin a multi-jurisdictional annexation process. For the proposed annexation of 1,793 hectaresof land, they voted in favour of initiating negotiations with the county. The city is proposing to annex 24 quarter sections (1,568 hectares) from the county. Land ownership would not change in the annexation process, but rather only municipal boundaries would change. The process involves several phases of consultations and negotiations, and once complete, would be submitted to the Municipal Government Board for ratification.

LCYC provides update on relocation by Alex Chippin alex@lloydminstersource.com

Grade 6 student Kira Krawchuk submitted her drawings to the Youth Art Show at the Lloydminster Cultural and Science Centre for the first time.

Celebrating youth art by Josef Jacobson josef@lloydminstersource.com

The walls of the Lloydminster Cultural and Science Centre’s (LCSC) travelling exhibit room were lined with drawings, painting, works of mixed media and computer-generated artwork, while sculptures and displays were arranged on pedestals and behind glass. But now the art will be taken down. May 28 was the final day of the Youth Art Show at the LCSC, and to mark the occasion the members of the public were welcomed to view the displays and meet the young artists behind the artwork. One of these young artists is Kira Krawchuk. The 11-year-old Grade 6 students form Rendell Park Elementary School submitted two sketches of strong female animated protagonists, Ariel from The Little Mermaid and Astrid from How to Train your Dragon. “I like to draw Disney characters. Ariel is one of my most common Disney drawings ... I really like to draw her hair,” she said. “My friends have their favourite Disney movies, so sometimes they’ll request things like Peter Pan and Wendy and I’ll try to draw it for them.” This is Krawchuk’s first time submitting work to the Youth Art Show. She intended to participate last year but missed the deadline. Her mother, Michelene, says the exhibition is a great opportunity for creative young people like her daughter to show off their art. “I think it’s pretty great. (Kira) sometimes is hesitant to show her artwork to people because she doesn’t feel like there’s a strong community here for it,” Micheline said. “It’s really good that something like this is here because she can submit to it. We missed it last year by two days and she was crushed, so it’s really great that she got to do that this year.” Michelene says there aren’t many places

in Lloydminster where students can display their art, and having the chance to show their work in a real gallery setting is important. “I think it’s significant just because you’re trying to tap into a talent that may not be showcased otherwise,” she said. “They do have things in school where they do get to promote their artistic side, but I feel that that’s more generated towards music as opposed to (visual) art. So it’s really great that these kids can come here and they can showcase their art and it’s free and it’s open to the public.” The LCSC Youth Art Show is open to students from preschool to high school. Michelene says allowing students of all ages to submit work utilizing various artistic media makes the show inclusive and encourages creative development for youth in the community. “It’s not restrictive, so they can do whatever they want to do,” she said. “You don’t have to be a professional painter, they’re not looking for Picassos here, they’re looking for people who are just creative. And it’s very open that way and I feel like it’s a very comfortable environment for the youth to be able to submit their items.”

The Lloydminster Community Youth Centre (LCYC) shed some light on a possible relocation during its annual general meeting on Monday afternoon. “The City of Lloydminster has completed their process and decommissioning of the old RCMP building this spring and are positioned to sell it to LCYC,” said chairperson Les Hanson, who was unable to attend the meeting, in a written statement. The LCYC is currently assessing the building to ensure that it is indeed a viable long-term home for the youth centre. There is not yet a timetable on when an official transaction or move could be completed. The potential change in addresses would give the group a significantly larger space to operate. “We are anxious and excited to complete that process and move forward this summer,” Hanson said.

On Tuesday, the LCYC received a $14,900 donation from the Rotary Club that should provide a major boost to the organization’s operating budget.

Rheanne Thackeray, a nail tech at Vivid Hair & Esthetic in Lloydminster, was named Nail Artist of the Year by Canadian Hairdresser Magazine in April.

I was actually watching the live feed alone in my hotel.” As a nail tech, Rheanne Thackeray has been imposing art onto nails for 15 years. Earlier this year, she submitted three of her designs into Canadian Hairdresser Magazine’s editorial competition. “You’re judged on it, they narrow it down to Top 5 in Canada and then I won,” said Thackeray, who works at Vivid Hair & Esthetics in Lloydminster. Thackeray says she began doing nail art at the age of 17 and fell in love with the profession immediately. A decade and a half later, she maintains

the same enthusiasm. “I just love it so much. I’ve been doing nails for 15 years and every day I come to work and I just can’t wait to paint nails.” Thackeray enhances nails with polymers and monomers. Most of her day-to-day work is tame in comparison to her editorial creations, but that doesn’t stop her from exploring her creative side. “That’s why people come to me, I’m creative and that’s what I love. I love painting new things on nails and I usually have a million ideas.” See “Nails,” Page 17

Gutsy Walk set for this weekend by Alex Chippin alex@lloydminstersource.com

Don Whiting Photo

A family of ducks were spotted properly crossing the street using the crosswalk in Lloydminster last week.

On Sunday, Candice Wdowiak will walk through Bud Miller All Seasons Park in the annual Gutsy Walk. She’ll do so in comfort, thanks to a weekly injection of Humira that keeps her Crohn’s disease in remission. Wdowiak isn’t just participating in the Gutsy Walk this year; she’s organizing Crohn’s and Colitis Canada’s signature fundraiser. “The lady who organizes the walk across Canada contacted me because they didn’t have anybody to do it here,” she said. “I didn’t know it was such a big project until the emails started coming in.” Wdowiak has had about three weeks to organize and promote the event, which is about 49 weeks fewer than what most regional organizers have. She says that as a result, participation is well-below what she had hoped for. “We don’t have that many walkers as of right now. I think we have 15 registered walkers,” she said. “It’s not well-known, it’s definitely not like Relay for Life.” In addition to a potentially low turnout, Wdowiak doesn’t expect to come close to meeting her fundraising target. “The goal this year is $6,000. I’m not sure where we’re at right now,” she said. “I know one family alone, he’s a young student from Bishop Lloyd (Middle School), I believe

he’s raised on his own $600. He has Crohn’s disease as well.” Crohn’s disease and ulcerative Colitis are both chronic conditions. While Crohn’s targets the small intestine, colitis affects the large intestine, but they present many of the same symptoms. “When you’re sick, it’s not fun. You’re in a lot of pain,” said Wdowiak. “The hospital visits are not fun. Always having to visit the bathroom, tired, nauseated. It’s a disease where you don’t look like you feel sick, but you constantly feel sick. So it really affects your quality of life because people look at you and you look fine, but you honestly feel terrible.” Wdowiak says that in the three weeks, she has reached out to Fame Dance Studios and Lloyd FM’s Kurt Price, both of whom will be part of the entertainment component of Sunday’s event. Wdowiak has also set up a breakfast that includes granola bars, fruit and coffee, and Price will fire up the barbecue for lunch. Crohn’s and colitis affects over 233,000 Canadians. Last year, Gutsy Walks across the country raised around $3.2 million. The event has taken place in other regions for several years, but this is just the third Gutsy Walk in Lloydminster. Those wishing to register for the Gutsy Walk may visit the Crohn’s and Colitis Canada website or call 1-888-884-2232 or email gutsywalk_AB_North@crohnsandcolitis. ca.

COUNCIL BRIEFS

City awards $2M for street improvement by Josef Jacobson josef@lloydminstersource.com

At its May 25 meeting, Lloydminster city council awarded the 2015 Street Improvement Tender to Lloydminster’s E-Construction for a cost of $2,084,607 plus GST. The project includes roadway, sidewalk gutter and curb repairs. The streets undergoing surface work are 38 Street from 47 to 50 Avenue East service road, 39 Street from 66 to 70 Avenue, 50 Street from 46 to 47 Avenue, 53 Avenue from 62 to 63 Street and 70 Avenue from 44 Street to 150 metres north of 41 Street. The intersection of 47 Street and 55 Avenue and the intersection of 50 Street and 51 Avenue will also undergo work. Lane grating will be done on Alberta Crescent. The 2015 Trail/Sidewalk Improvement plan is included in the project and trail construction will take

place south of College Park School to connect it to the existing trail network and adjacent to 70 Avenue from 44 Street to 150 metres north of 41 Street. The east parking lot at Fire Hall No. 1 will also undergo grading and rehabilitation. “We haven’t met with the contractor yet to find out their schedule, but we do know that one section, 39 Street from 66 to 70 Avenue, is in front of Holy Rosary High School,” engineering services traffic branch manager Sheena Zimmerman said. “In the tender it’s specified that that section needed to start pretty much as soon as school is out and then it needs to be complete before school goes back in.” According to the report before council, construction is expected to start in late June and is anticipated to be completed by the end of August. Zimmerman says the construction

deadline is Sept. 30. “There will be notices throughout the program that will let people know where the work is happening (and) any residences or businesses that are adjacent to the work will get special notices delivered to their doors,” she said. “We just thank residents for their patience and for keeping an eye out for the notices and planing detours and routes accordingly.” Museum rates going up Starting on June 1, visitors to the Lloydminster Cultural and Science Centre (LCSC) will have to reach a little deeper into their pockets if they want to view the collections. At its meeting on May 25, city council voted to raise LCSC entrance fees. This is the first time admission has been changed in five years. “The fees are going up because they haven’t been looked at since

2010,” community services director Don Stang said. “In 2010, they were actually reduced when the Richard Larsen wing was taken down. So it’s time to review them and bring them up to standard with other museums around the province.” Rates are increasing by $2 to $5 for youth ages six to 12, $6 for students age 13 to 17 and $7 for adults ages 18 to 59. Children ages two to five and seniors over 60 will see admission rise by $1 to $3 and $5 respectively. Rates for family groups has gone from $15 to $16. Children under two years of age still enter for free. “We are trying to bring in more travelling exhibits,” Stang said. “Those cost money and we’re just trying to make sure we have some cost recovery there.” The rates will be reviewed again next year.

A whole world out there

Opinion by Colin Budd colin@lloydminstersource.com

Every generation seems to take pity on future generations for some reason. The old days are always better. When I was growing up, it was always lamenting that my generation didn’t hone our skills on the outdoor rinks. Maybe we did miss out. Of course, I grew up in a town with a rink loaded with shinny time because of a lack of minor hockey teams. Why battle the elements and unknown ice conditions when you have the best ice surface in Saskatchewan and a roof above your head at your disposal? Today’s younger generation, and even partly mine, are known for the reliance on technology. A group that would rather be playing video games than venturing outdoors. We heard it growing up too, but I don’t think it was actually the case with my group of friends. And growing up on a farm, my parents put strict limits for us – and I loved playing Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball on my Super Nintendo as much as the next guy. Still, it was always more fun to venture outside and play the game. I haven’t given it a whole lot of thought, but earlier this week I received a news release that said, “Today, Coleman Canada launched Get Outside Day, a movement to encourage the Canadian government to declare Friday, July 17 a national holiday, giving Canadians more

time to enjoy our country’s great outdoors. As a nation defined by its landscape, Coleman Canada was shocked to find out that that almost two thirds of Canadians (63 per cent) spend less than two hours per week outside doing recreational activities.Getting outside is important for optimal health and is integral to our national identity. With many Canadians citing lack of time as a barrier to getting outside, now more than ever, we need to take time to get outside, and what better way to achieve this than to demand the time to do so?” Clearly, it’s not just the kids. It’s a little puzzling. Especially, living in an area that has so much to offer outdoors. Between golfing, gardening, yardwork (which is close enough to recreational unless you hate your yard), walking the dog, going to the lake and a laundry list of other items, how does someone not spend more than a couple of hours outside each week? There’s a lot not to like about living on the Prairies, but I’m not sure I would trade our summers for many other climates. Heck, we’re considering cancelling our satellite television for the summer because we get such little use out of it. And I love television and become a little pysically ill contemplating a summer without Major League Baseball to watch. It’s easy to understand how some could get so busy that their time spent outside could be so limited. The summers, at least in this area, are so great it’s unfortunate that more can’t take advantage to sit outside and read for a little while to relax – not to mention the health benefits. A day to remind people to go outside shouldn’t be necessary, but apparently seems to be. If I could recommend a motto, something like, “winter is just around the corner,” might help.

TFSAs help seniors save more: MP

To the editor, Liberal member of Parliament Scott Brison is wrong and out of touch with the priorities of Canadians when he attacks our Government’s action to help families and seniors save more for their retirement. Through Economic Action Plan 2015, our Conservative government announced an increase in the annual contribution room of the tax-free savings Account (TFSA) to $10,000. TFSAs are a popular savings vehicle for many Canadians, particularly seniors. By the end of 2013, almost 2.7 million seniors had a TFSA. Of those seniors, nearly 60 per cent had annual incomes of less than $40,000. And of the people who contribute the maximum amount to their TFSAs, almost half are seniors. It’s clear that Canada’s seniors recognize the wonderful saving opportunity that TFSAs can provide leading up to and during retirement.

Publisher: Reid Keebaugh General Manager: Kent Keebaugh Managing Editor: Colin Budd Sales Manager: Deanna Reschny Production Manager: Karrie Craig

This is action that builds on our Government’s strong record for seniors. We introduced the largest Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) increase in over 25 years to support low-income seniors, and introduced pension income splitting. Unfortunately, Mr. Brison and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau recently revealed their economic plan, which they admitted has a $2 billion shortfall. That’s why, if given the chance, they would have to increase taxes on all Canadians, including taking away TFSAs and income splitting. And even at that, economists say the numbers in their plan still won’t add up. Only our Conservative government can be counted on to help seniors save more. – Leon Benoit, M.P. Vegreville-Wainwright

Hospital shows its flower power

GARAGE SALE

by Jaime Polmateer jaime@lloydminstersource.com

A colourful initiative to spruce up the grounds at the Lloydminster Hospital was undertaken on May 27, when each of the departments at the facility, along with members of the public, split into teams, donned costumes and planted hundreds of flowers in the hospital’s courtyards. Dubbed “Planting Work Bee” the project was started by volunteers Don Whittaker and Annette Widmeyer after Whittaker noticed the flowerbeds had become neglected. He took it upon himself to start tearing out the old plants, saying he’s a firm believer that it’s easier to beg for forgiveness than ask permission. And when hospital staff noticed what he was up to they began to lend a hand. “(It) is really an opportunity to do some team building. Our flowerbeds had run down a little bit, they’ve overgrown and over-matured,” said Whittaker. “We started ripping them out and it sort of grew from there. We’re replacing everything we’d torn out and adding a lot more colour.” Things became competitive when the departments made teams and decided to wear costumes to make it a bit more interesting. Prizes that were sponsored by the Lloydminster Region Health Foundation were given to participants based on categories like best team name,

most enthusiasm and best costume. This was the first time the hospital has had the informal event, but Whittaker says they’ll probably keep up with it annually as they develop a floral theme, which will likely involve more perennials and shrubs. He said this will ensure less work and create more character for the courtyard. “The public spends a lot of time in the courtyard as do the staff. Everyone who enters the system enters through this door,” Whittaker said. “To me, this entryway is, when somebody comes from the region or the

community, it’s their entry into the health system. So we want them to be overwhelmed when they come in here and say, ‘Wow.’ “It certainly sets the tone from what we had before as far as an image we had for the hospital and for the region.” Whittaker has been volunteering for around three years and also has a strong history with the health region. He was on the health board before and after it was regionalized and was also on the health advisory council with Alberta Health Service for four years. See “Flowers,” Page 17

Stuff the Cruiser a hit On May 31, 2015, the Lloydminster RCMP, fire department and Lloydminster Public Safety joined forces to raise food for the Salvation Army Food bank. Police cars, peace officer vehicles and a fire truck were set up in front of the Lloydminster and District Co-op Marketplace, Superstore and Safeway grocery stores. In a short five hours, the residents of Lloydminster were able to stuff almost 20 police cruisers, resulting in an estimated 9,000 pounds of food. "This event showed the true heart of Lloydminster residents," said Const. Grant Kirzinger. "This was a huge success for the food bank. We were told that supplies were getting low and that this drive has provided enough to get through the summer and into the fall season. The Lloydminster RCMP want to thank the fire department, public safety, the City of Lloydminster, Co-op Marketplace, Superstore and Safeway for their support. We look forward to this event again next year."

Library gets artsy by Josef Jacobson josef@lloydminstersource.com

Every year the annual Arts Without Borders festival transforms all of Lloydminster into a giant art exhibit, and the Lloydminster Public Library is getting in on the festivities as well. “Literary arts are a very important part of Arts Without Borders and we also want to encourage creative expression. We do have a lot of resources that will help people get started not just with writing, but drawing and painting,” reference librarian Michele Duczek said. “Part of our mission is not just the informational needs of the people of Lloydminster, but the recreational needs.” The library is bringing back its book spine poetry display and is hosting the Brown Bag Film Festival short film series. Book spine poetry is done by stacking books on top of each other, with their titles becoming lines of poetry. Duczek says it’s a way to combine books and art and she is encouraging entrants to use books by author Gail Bowen, who will be speaking and hosting a writing workshop during the festival “If you have a book that has a provocative title you can just surround it with all sorts (titles),” Duczek said. “You can come up with more than one with the same book in it, you are limited to three entries though. And we have a collection of goodies to give away to some lucky entrants.” The Brown Bag Film Festival welcomes visitors to bring their lunches to noon showings of National Film Board documentaries “I try to find (films) that usually have something to do with the arts in some way or stuff that I think will be entertaining and maybe somewhat informative, possibly moving. I have some films that I’ve shown in the past that have some regional

interest,” Duczek said. “I’ve been to movie theatres where you can order real food and a glass of wine and sit and watch a movie, which is highly civilized.” On June 15 at noon, the library will receive a donated Inuit sculpture to add to its art collection. Duczek says the library has received donations in the past and she hopes to put more works of art on display. She says space can be an issue, but she would like to be able to exhibit work by local artists, at least on a temporary basis. “We’re a public place, people come here, what better place to show off (local art)?” she said. “We are a community space. People can come and while they’re sitting they have something nice to look at other than the posters that say ‘please no smoking,’ ‘no eating.’“ The deadline to submit a book spine poem to the Arts Without Borders website is June 10. The library will be showing films on June 15, 17, 19 and 23. The Academy Award nominated-film, and Canadian co-production, the Triplets of Belleville, will be shown on June 18 at 7 p.m. On June 20 starting at 1 p.m., the library will show all of its Brown Bag films in order.

The Grace United Church has come up with a project to honour past members with a book that will feature photos, stories and anecdotes. It will also help raise funds for the modernization of their new building. The book, titled Memory Wings, will be available in an electronic format as well as a “bound” binder-style version which will be on permanent display in the new church. “We wanted to make a special effort to honour the faith, devotion and memory of people who were Grace family in past years,” said Lynn Manners, chair of the project. “The Memory Wings project is intended to do that and provide the extended family of past members with the opportunity to financially support the project. “We’re going to prepare a memory book with this information gathered. We’ve never done this kind of thing in our church before so it’s quite a change to do this.” With a donation of $1,000 someone can have two people recognized in the book on the back and front of an 8.5-inch by 11-inch page. People have the chance to donate until the end of the year and anyone in the community is welcome to support the project.

The idea for Memory Wings came from co-chair Morris Smith and after Manners got on board, they smoothed out the details for the book. After getting the go-ahead from the central board at the United Church, they got a committee together last November and started contacting families to take part. “We’ve been in touch with about 100 families of former members and so far I think we’ve got 15 people,” said Manners. “The project is going to extend until the end of 2015.” The Memory Wings committee believes the project is a unique way to record the stories of the people who have supported the Grace United Church in Lloydminster and preserve the “real” history of the church while some of the physical history gets lost in the renovations. As part of the demolition, over half of the church building has been taken down to make way for a larger church hall, a new kitchen, new offices and an enhanced program space. The new modernizations will include better mechanical and electrical systems and other enhancements to the sanctuary. “Anybody in the community is welcome to support and we’d be glad to have it. They can get in touch with me at lynnmanners@xplornet. ca,” said Manners.

I want to have a food truck that would just be bathrooms. I would line it up in back of the other food trucks, and I’d charge $1 for use.

Lloydminster’s Bordertown BBQ truck tied for first place at Saskatoon’s inaugural Food Truck Wars.

Strong outing for Lloyd BBQers by Josef Jacobson josef@lloydminstersource.com

Lloydminster competitive barbecue team, Bordertown BBQ, finished tied for first place at the inaugural Food Truck Wars held at the Sutherland Curling Club in Saskatoon from May 22 to 23. The team, led by James Phillip and Cindy Haan, earned a score of 77/80 from the panel of eight judges. “It was a good event. We sold out of absolutely everything,” Haan said. “Our pulled pork and shredded beef sold out first probably by 1:30 p.m. on Saturday afternoon and our burgers probably sold out around 3 or 3:30 p.m. And by suppertime, we were totally sold out. We felt a little bad about that, but nobody knew how much to predict, it was the first time they had hosted it.” The competition brought together a diverse selection of food trucks from Saskatoon and Prince Albert. The available fare included barbecue, nachos, chicken, sandwiches, ice cream, hot dogs and shawarma. Despite bringing an extra trailer with a deep freezer full of meat, Bordertown BBQ and some of the other trucks found their stock running low. “When we opened our window it was just slammed busy and I don’t think any of the other food trucks expected that many people to show up. And it was quite busy until quite late,” Philip said. “You can look at it another way too: We could make all this meat and then find out we rained out and only have a couple hundred people show up, then what do we do, too?” Phillip did bring extra meat to smoke, but he was too busy manning the grill to properly prepare the meat and he didn’t want to offer food that he felt was below his standard. “Unfortunately, with ours when you have to

smoke, you have to marinate and inject your meat and let it sit for 12 hours and then you’ve (by Lloyd Minor Football Assoc.) got a 12-hour window of smoking it,” Haan said. “There’s no possible way after we run out (that) we can mass-produce that food instantly.” Summer is barbecue competition season and Phillips and Haan already have their sights set on future tournaments. The Pile O Bones BBQ Championship in Regina and Edmonton’s Porkapalooza BBQ Festival take place from June 12 to 14 and June 19 to 21 respectively and the duo are already looking for new high-grade meats to cook with, like Wagyu beef and Berkshire pork. Those events are sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society, competitive barbecuing’s strict governing body, and attract the world’s top grillers. “There are some real heavy hitters (coming to Regina). There’s a team coming up from the States and he was August 8, 2015 | Paradise Hill Arena No. 3 in the world last year,” Phillip said. “And Must be 19 to attend another guy who’s got the No. 1 ribs in the world is going to be ring featu y Ell there, so it’s going be a a tough competition,” Linds “At Porkapalooza, last year that was our very first one (and) we came in third overall. We’ve got a reputation we’ve got to uphold this year in Edmonton.”

Bottom line is, I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.

At the edge of an ice flow a mother polar bear looks off into the distance. Her cubs sit at her feet, one of them eyeing a baby seal, while in the background whales breach the stillness of the arctic sea. This picturesque Canadian scene is taking place on a 38-millimetretall portrait on the back of a new $20 commemorative coin. The coin, which was released earlier this month, was designed by artist Cindy Sorley-Keichinger, who lives just north of Kitscoty. “The (Royal Canadian) Mint got hold of me … and they asked if I would be interested in doing a design,” she said. “So they emailed me the particulars and gave me a two-week window to do everything.” The coin is part of the mint’s new Canadian Icons series, with the iconic polar bear carved from British Columbian jade. The mint contacted three artists and asked them to incorporate the jade bear in their arcticthemed design. Sorley-Keichinger says the mint has recently been reaching out to Western Canadian artists. “A couple of other friends of mine … in Sherwood Park, Alta. have done coins,” she said. “I find it gratifying that the Western Canadians are getting their due.” This was Sorley-Keichinger’s second time submitting work to the

mint and the first time her image was chosen. She says she enjoys the challenge of working with the mint’s strict guidelines, like being tasked to quickly devise a design that would be appealing to herself, collectors and the Mint. “In the case of the polar bear, the Canadian Mint has done a lot of polar bear coins so that makes it tougher to be original,” she said. “So coming up with a different angle on things is an interesting mental exercise and challenge that I find fun.” As for the size restrictions, artists were required to submit a design no larger than eight inches in diameter to be shrunk down to size before engraving. Sorley-Keichinger says her experience painting miniatures helped her determine what would work on a small scale. Sorley-Keichinger says she’s happy with the final product. She finds it interesting to compare her rough sketches with the finished coin. She was impressed by what the depth and texture of the engraved silver and jade added to her original concept art. “You always worry when someone else is taking over your image that you’ve designed and you worry, ‘Are they going to use this right, are they going to mess it up?’ And it’s like your baby, but (the Mint) handled it very well,” she said. “All my other paintings can burn, but there’s going to be a coin with my initials on it forever and ever.”

SUMMER BASH

Lloydminster Comprehensive High School held its annual Barons Carnival on Wednesday, May 27 throughout Armstrong Field.

Nails Continued from Page 6

Thackeray says she normally gets started with a client by asking the person to decide on a primary nail colour before she begins throwing out design ideas. “I kind of draw inspiration from a lot of different places. Really, anything. Like a pattern, if someone has a shirt or something, or if they have an event that they need their nails to match their dress, we can do that. I use the Internet a lot and Pinterest is awesome because there’s a million, billion different ideas on there.” She added that social media has

been a valuable resource for those in the beauty industry, as people like her can interact and exchange ideas with others. “I’m constantly changing my techniques and learning new things and staying on trends,” she said. “I don’t actually do nails the same way today that I did 15 years ago. I don’t even do it probably the same as I did it a year ago. I constantly am evolving with the industry and I think that’s what makes me successful in competition.” For the award, which was announced on April 18 as part of the publication’s Mirror Awards, Thackeray received a gift basket as well as a trophy, which she was still waiting on at last check. If she’s lucky, it’ll come with some pizza.

Flowers Continued from Page 9

His friend Ed Andersen – the husband of Kathy from Kathy’s Greenhouse, which donated the flowers – also has history with the health region, having served as chairmen on the board. He said the greenhouse has supported the flowers at the hospital for a number of years, and though enthusiasm dropped off for a while, he says Whittaker is doing a “marvellous” job at stepping up and reviving it. “It’s great, it’s good to see all of the fellowship between all of the people who are here,” said Andersen. “Working and doing the job of planting them and that’s what counts in a community.”

Buy local initiative begins in Sask. The Government of Saskatchewan is encouraging residents to support the proclamation to “buy local” the first Saturday of every month. “We value the contribution of local businesses in communities across the province, and for that reason, want to encourage Saskatchewan residents to buy local,” Immigration, Jobs, Skills and Training Minister Jeremy Harrison said in a news release. “It’s a gesture of support for all those small businesses that work hard, create jobs and provide us

with goods and services year-round.” There are about 150,000 people employed in small business in Saskatchewan, which is about 30 per cent of the province’s total labour force. A proclamation to celebrate the small business sector and the importance of buying local came into force on May 11 of this year. “I would encourage Saskatchewan residents to shop local every day, but particularly on the first Saturday of every month, beginning this week on June 6,” Harrison said.

Hoping for more rain soon VIC’S VIEWS by Vic Hult

Another week, no rain. All hoar frost signs have failed. The May 14 and 17, nothing. Small scattered showers on the 25th, but really nothing. I think we can safely declare we are having a serious drought. I have lots of hoar frost rain marked in June. Will it come true or will it be like 2002 where I had marked lots of hoar frost and we was skunked every time? I blamed the upgrader at the time with their steam emissions for causing false hoar frost. I don’t know. I just know it didn’t rain back in 2002. Maybe enjoy the sunshine anyway. You can’t do anything about it if the big Guy doesn’t send rain. The next hoar frost I have marked is on June 4, 5 and 6. I will have all my fingers and toes crossed in hopes of rain In the local area, there are hundreds of acres seeded in the dust and not likely to germinate until it rains. On the crops that are up, the flea buggers have hatched and they have come out hungry. The plants with no rain can’t out grow them. The high-priced seed treatments have worn off. Guys are spraying. Just what a guy needs, more expense. Some of this spraying maybe a little premature as guys see eat marks evidence on the leaves and right away they want to spray. Whoa, fellas. The flea bugger has to eat the leaf to get the poison. Then he gets killed. Everyone is anxious with the high costs that everything should be perfect. Well, sometimes no matter what you do, no matter what you try, sometimes you can’t make it perfect. On other field tours and crop checks, the wheat fields, as soon as they get established, are starting to do well. It will be a short time until the sprayers are going full tilt. There is good moisture below and once the plants get rooted down they are doing well. Some crops are having a hard time getting going, but not the weeds. Every field has them up and flourishing as they root into the generous fertil-

izer that has been applied. Without chemicals there would be a real mess. I don’t know how the organic farmers do it. There have been years in the past that we had to spray early and then it rained later and a new flush of weeds came. I had to spray for broadleaf weeds twice. I have left it some years and I now know that was a mistake. Live and learn. On the home front, the crew has the water proof membrane on the house basement installed. To install this plastic barrier, we had to backhoe the dirt away from the house down to the footings. I can only do two sides, the west side and the south side. The north side is the garage and the east side has the natural gas line coming in, the telephone line, my underground power and my septic tank and sewer line. Plus the east side has a large deck on it. Way too much stuff to deal with. Thirty-five years ago, Carl Sutherland and twins built this house and we put in a wood basement. It was half price of a cement one. We didn’t have the materials we have now. We put tar on the joints of the treated plywood and the heaviest plastic I could buy was six mil, which we put on the outside of the basement. Thirty-five years later, the tar has dried up and the plastic is in shreds. Water is coming in the basement even though I have weeping tile around the house. Thus the need for a renovation. I have a new picture window coming and three new bedroom windows. I dislike the place all tore up, but I can see the end. It can’t happen soon enough for me. In political news, my friend has written me an email taking me to task for my assertion that Premier Rachel Notley and the NDP government will be bad for Alberta. I can only judge by my Saskatchewan experience. It has not been good. I am suspicious that my friend is a lifelong NDP supporter. Her version of Saskatchewan debt and who or what caused it and who paid for it are somewhat different than mine. She ends the email with, and I quote, “I really should write a letter to the editor to respond to your babble but I don’t have time right now.” To them or anyone else, take time. People might want to know what you think. Take the time. What kind of a government will Rachel Notley and the NDP have? Will it be business friendly? Will it impose new taxes?? Governments of any stripe can be good or bad. Government have to do very little to make business flourish. Just level the playing field and people will start businesses. We don’t need mega-projects to make the economy grow. Small businesses are what should happen. They employ lots of people, they are stable and not likely to run off to Vietnam or someplace and farm out their work. I have a saying and I know it to be a truism: “Big government, big business, they are both the same – they only look after themselves.” Hopefully, The NDP and Notley don’t go for bigger government. On June 27, 2015, at Lashburn Hall starting at 7 p.m., there will be a fundraiser for Glen Sutherland as he goes through his chemo treatments. There will be a silent and a live auction. Beef on a bun will be served. Everyone please mark your calendar and attend. We wish him the best of luck in his recovery Joke of the week. A new teacher was trying to use her psychology courses on her class. The first day, standing up in front of the class she said, “Everyone who thinks they are stupid, stand up.” After a few seconds no one stands up and finally Little Johnny stands up. The teacher asked little Johnny if he felt stupid. “No,” said Little Johnny “but I felt sorry for you standing up here all by yourself.”

Goaltender Christopher Tai will return to the Lloydminster Bobcats after spending a season in the British Columbia Hockey League after being traded from the team last season. Tai’s return was announced along with the players named in the future considerations deals made last season.

Bobcats finalize futures deals Bobcats announce names of players they received from trades last season involving 20-year-old players, while also returning former goalie from BCHL by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com

The trades that sent 20-yearolds Tyler Kunz to Prince George, Linden Springer to Brooks and Lukas Biensch to Spruce Grove are finally complete, as the Lloydminster Bobcats announced the players who were part of the deals as future considerations. Lloydminster is also getting back goaltender Christopher Tai, who played with the Bobcats in 2014 in the second half of the season and the playoffs, before he was traded to the Coquitlam Express in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) for a future consideration, which ended up being Tai himself. For Kunz, the Bobcats received, at the time, forward Taylor Allan from the Prince George Spruce Kings of the BCHL. Allan played 25 games for the Bobcats last season, scoring 10

goals and 17 points. To complete the deal, Lloydminster is also receiving forward Marco Ballarin and defenceman Adam Clements as the future considerations part of the deal. Springer was traded to the Brooks Bandits at the trade deadline for defenceman Shane Switzer and a future, who was announced to be Bandits captain Madison Dunn. And for Biensch, Lloydminster received Taylor Lotoski, who played in 16 games for the Bobcats, scoring two goals and four points. As part of the future considerations, Lloydminster will receive defenceman Graydon Smith and a future from the Whitecourt Wolverines. “I’m glad to get it over with, you know the names in January and a lot changes over the course of six months, so glad to get this over with and get these guys into the fold,” said general manager Gord Thibodeau. “Now we kind of shoot them into

the depth chart and make decisions based on going forward on where we go from here.” In total the Bobcats got four forwards and three defencemen in return for the three 20-year-old players that would not be returning for the upcoming season due to age. But not all seven players will wear Bobcats’ jerseys when the season starts in September, as some of the traded players have already made school commitments in the United States, while others have a preference to play at home. Switzer, who played 17 games for Lloydminster and added 16 points for a season total of 34, committed to Boston University and will not return for the 2015-16 season, while Dunn made a commitment to the University of Alabama-Huntsville, an NCAA Division 1 school, and will be playing there next season as well. Thibodeau said Lloydminster will either receive another player from Brooks or another future for Dunn. Clements has also expressed interest in going to school in Ontario, so the Pickering, Ont. native could be sent to the Ontario Junior Hockey League in exchange for a player. A trade could be finished for Clements in the next week. “There is still some decision to be made on a few of the players,”

said Thibodeau. “There was a risk obviously in doing the deal with both (Dunn) and Switzer potentially getting scholarships. We didn’t expect Switzer to get one so quick but unfortunately, he came over and played very well. There were questions on whether (Dunn) would play one more year of junior. Now that that has been solidified, we have an option to go back to Brooks for an agreed upon player.” Tai returns to the Bobcats after spending one year in Coquitlam. After the 2014 playoffs, Tai made another effort to make the Western Hockey League as part of the Kelowna Rockets. After not making the Rockets and battling with illness, he was traded to Coquitlam for a future player in return, or return himself. Thibodeau elected to bring the 20-year-old goalie back to Lloydminster, which helps solve the gap in net he faced after Devin Green graduated after this past season. “Devin had started so well that we made the decision that we were not going to move Devin, and in fairness to Chris, he wanted to start,” said Thibodeau on the trade of Tai. “We wanted to get him somewhere where he could play a lot of games, which hasn’t been the case for him over the course of the last couple of years.” See “Bobcats,” Page 27

Molle perfect in North Battleford

Kris Molle couldn’t have asked for a more perfect weekend than the one he had in North Battleford. Not only did he take home day money on all three nights of the first stop on the Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association tour, he earned his first show championship of the season and a sweep of the top points on each night, earning him 90 points in the CPCA standings after three races. His PWM Steel point outfit earned sub 1:03 times on days 2 and 3, while on opening night they ran a 1:03.57, while his non-point outfit ran a 1:02.87 in the first heat of the season. “It was that Ribstone Creek water,” joked Molle. “Everything came together and clicked. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect weekend.” While the victory is a great start to the season for the Chauvin, Alta. native, the dominant performance comes at the start of the season when most drivers are still hooking outfits to see what horses works well in a race situation. Last year, Molle was still mixing his teams together, and while he had a good season in 2014, finishing fifth and just outside the top four for the final dash for the Canadian championship, this year’s start is a combination of using what he learned last year and buying some quality horses to complement what he already had. “I had some pretty decent hooks finishing the year last year,” said Molle. “I had a couple of injuries, so I hand picked a couple horses that I really liked and was hoping they would fit in, in which they did. They are working good.” The weekend also showcased the depth of Molle’s barn, as he didn’t run the same four horses in his point outfit over the three days, but rather mixed in other thoroughbreds from his barn to keep his wagonwheels turning hard. His non-point outfits also finished 24th overall, including the top time on Day 1, and the 13th best time on Day 2. With an aggregate time of 3:07.218,

Kris Molle swept North Battleford with the fastest time each night, earning him the show championship and the leader position in the CPCA standings.

Laboucane and Molle competed against each other all weekend, as their non-point outfits raced in Heat 1, along with B.J. Carey, while their point outfits ran in Heat 13 along with six-time Canadian champion Ray Mitsuing. It clearly helped to be running against some of the best on the track and because of it, Molle is holding the top spot on the CPCA tour. “When you are running against the faster guys like that it keeps pushing you,” said Molle. “When you are

running against someone like Ray, who has won (the Canadian title) six times, you know he is just sitting back and can win day money on any given day. If you slip up, he is going to be there.” Molle’s confidence is now at a high, and being so early in the season, it will only work in his favour. It is a new place for him to be since becoming a driver in 2011, and with the next race a week away in Dewberry, Molle can continue his training without worrying too much about mixing other horses. “It’s a big mind game this sport,” said Molle. “When you get down it is

hard to get out of it, but when you’re up you got that confidence. And you got confidence in your horses and outriders and they have confidence in you.” North Battleford was only Molle’s second show victory in his career, as he won the St. Walburg show in 2014. Last year was also his first trip to the Calgary Stampede, which put him up against the best drivers on both professional tours. Jamie Laboucane finished second in the aggregate in North Battleford while Ray Mitsuing finished in third. Vern Nolin and Wayne Knight rounded out the top five.

Barons rugby heading to provincials

The Lloydminster Comprehensive Barons rugby teams are setting their sights high heading into the Alberta Schools’ Athletic Association provincial tournament this weekend, even if the possibility of a final means they will have to go through the best teams in Alberta and pull off some pretty big upsets. The boys’ team is ranked seventh in the province out of eight heading into the tournament hosted in Edmonton. For the boys, it’s the fourth time they have gone to provincials in the program’s eight-year history. And while winning may seem like a lofty goal, the Barons are heading into each game as if they can win it all. “The level of competition is extremely intense,” said Barons boys’ head coach Steve Wytrykusz. “On one hand it is intimidating, yet on the other hand that is why it is so rewarding because it is so hard. You got to go in with the attitude that you are going to win every game. That is no doubt. That is the attitude we are going with. I know we are going against some tremendous teams. If we came away with one win, I’d call that a success, but we are going to go into every game with the attitude that we are going to win. That we are going to put some hurt on some people.” With a meeting against the second seed from the south Alberta district, the Barons will have to beat two of the top three seeds in order to advance to the final. The Barons have played against Cold Lake and Lashburn mostly through the spring season, but the competition at provincials is much higher than what

they have faced locally. Some players on the Calgary and Edmonton teams are 6-foot-4 and over 200 pounds, with scholarships to university for football. So provincials will be an eye-opener for the Barons, but one that should help to keep moving the program forward. “It is going to be an eye-opener for a lot of the players so what I want them to be prepared for is how hard it is going to be at this tournament,” said Wytrykusz. “We will be going against teams that have played probably 30-plus games this year and have been playing for a long time since they were kids. So the level of competition is intense.” This year, however, the boys’ team won’t be travelling alone, as the girls’ team has also qualified for provincials for the first time in the program’s three-year history. The lady Barons are ranked eighth in the province, so they will have to take on the top team from the south district in their first round game. But for them, getting a chance to play other teams away from home is a positive heading into the tournament. “We know it will be real high calibre rugby,” said Stephanie Spence, head coach of the girls’ team. “Because we are on the border and not close to major centres, we have a limited number of teams we can play. So it is nice to do those tournaments that are a little further away.” Getting their first trip to provincials should also help increase awareness in the rugby program. It’s a much needed step if the girls want to continue running rugby in the future, as a provincial calibre team will keep interest up in the team and sport. See “Rugby,” Page 27

Vandals continue build of core players by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com

For the Lloydminster Vandals to return to respectability in the Alberta Football League (AFL), they will need their core group of players to continue to grow. The offence has been together for two years now and it is showing on the field as their execution has greatly improved. Defence has also seen improvement in the front seven. Since their national championship victory in 2012, Lloydminster has been working to rebuild their core of players. It has been a rocky road to say the least, as the Vandals have one victory in the last two seasons, but with a strong group now committed to the team, the future looks bright for the black and green. “You’ve got to have that core that is local and comes to all the practices and is dedicated to making it to games,” said Vandals president Glen Dembicki. “All of a sudden they bug a friend who played a few years back and you get another guy here and another guy there and just try and fill the ranks in.” But it is still a process for the Vandals who play in the highly competitive AFL with large city centres such as Edmonton and Calgary. With a smaller talent pool to pull from the rebuild will take a little while longer, which has made it harder on players wanting to come back. With their expectation set at two or three wins this season, the Vandals will be in tough to start the season as they head to Fort McMurray this weekend to take on the Monarchs before hosting the Calgary Gators on June 20 for their home opener. Both are expected to be two of the top teams in the AFL this season. In a preseason game last Saturday, Lloydminster lost 31-14 to the Edmonton Stallions, but got a first look at what their offence can do on the field. But losing often creates a challenge to keep veteran players, so with a turnaround this season, the Vandals could set themselves up for years to

come by retaining some of their younger talent. “You have those veterans who played years ago and know what it was like to win and it is tough on them to come when they are not winning,” said Dembicki. “Physically they are getting a little more banged up than they normally would when you have a nice full roster. But on the other side the younger guys are eager and willing to get in there and they are really excited to get playing and see where we stand.”

With numbers in the low-30s, the Vandals would like to add a few more before the season gets underway this weekend. With low numbers and having to travel so much in the league, it makes it difficult to get a full roster out to games due to other family and work commitments. “It definitely wouldn’t hurt to get a few more guys,” said Dembicki. “Whether you have missed all of the spring and practices, it is not an issue at all.”

Rodeo continues to grow Lea Park Rodeo becomes a stop on Wrangler Canadian Professional Rodeo Tour by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com

After 60 years of bringing rodeo to Lea Park, Alta., it didn’t seem like the Lea Park Rodeo could get any bigger. But the 61st year looks to be the biggest yet, as more than $100,000 is up for grabs across all the rodeo events, and this year marks the first time Lea Park has been part of the Wrangler Canadian Professional Rodeo Tour. And when you are the fifth-biggest rodeo in Canada, aiming to be bigger and better each year is not out of the question, considering the people involved understand their program extreme well. “It’s still a lot of work but we know our program pretty good,” said Lloyd Grey, president of the Lea Park Rodeo. “It’s a big thing in the community. It’s good for the businesses, good for the people and a lot of money gets spent in the community because of the rodeo.” Lea Park is now the second stop on the Wrangle Canadian Tour, right after the Grande Prairie show and just before the shows in Wainwright and Ponoka, which have generally been the setup shows for the Calgary Stampede. “You have to have a certain amount

of money for prize money before you can be a part of the tour,” said Grey. “Going by prize money, we are the fifth-biggest rodeo in Canada. It just means we are getting bigger and better every year when you can put the program together to be a part of that tour.” The sky is the limit, said Grey about how big Lea Park can get as a rodeo event. This year they will have shows on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, with rodeo performances at 6 p.m. on Friday, 1 p.m. on Saturday and two performances on Sunday at 1 and 5:30 p.m. Like every year the rodeo will feature events such as bareback, bull and saddle bronc riding, steer wrestling, team roping, tie-down roping, and ladies barrel racing. Lea Park has a history of bringing in some of the top rodeo performers in to compete, and this year is no exception. Two-time Calgary Stampede champion in saddle bronc riding Wade Sundell, 2013 World tie-down roping champion, Shane Hanchey and 2012 World champion barrel racer Mary Walker will all be competing. The rodeo has ran consecutively for 61 years and with their new place on the Wrangler Canadian Professional Tour, slowing down doesn’t seem to be in its future.

Blue Jays with division lead With a 3-1 record, the Border City Blue Jays are on top of the North Saskatchewan River Baseball League’s Smithson Division, a half-game up on the Lloydminster Twins. After opening the season against the Twins with a 1-0 victory, the Blue Jays dropped a close 4-3 decision to Meadow Lake in the first of a doubleheader, but picked up an impressive second victory, 11-1. They finished off the month of May with a 12-0 win over the Midwest Expos. Tonight the Blue Jays take on the Twins for their second meeting of the season, and will finish their three-game set with their rivals next Thursday. The Twins enter tonight’s contest

having won their last two games, a 12-7 victory over the Wilkie Brewers and a 7-4 win over the Expos. The Twins have a busy schedule over the next seven days, with four games in seven days, as along with their two meetings with the Blue Jays, they will travel to Meadow Lake for a weekend doubleheader with the Sox. The Midwest Expos are also looking for their first win of the season as they started 0-3. Losses to division rivals have counted for two losses, while they started the season out with a close 8-7 loss to the Edam Blue Sox. Other division leaders include the Unity Cardinals at 3-1, and the Standard Hill Lakers who still have a perfect 3-0 record.

Backbone ready for season Two quotes. That’s all you need. Just two simple quotes. As we embark on a brand new football season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders and finally put 2014 in the past, there are only two people we need to hear from. The first comes from quarterback Darian Durant who was leading the Riders to a nearly franchise-best 8-2

took to social media on the morning of Day 1 of 2015 Roughrider training RIDER camp in Saskatoon to reassure the antsy Rider Nation. INSIDER “So blessed to be able to do what I love for a living,” Durant wrote from his Twitter account. “Still feel like a by Rod Pedersen kid going into my 10th camp.” That’s music to our ears and Durant got the bulk of the work with the first team offense Sunday as he continues to test out his arm and get acclimated to new offensive coordinator Jacques Chapdelaine. He passed both with flying colours. The other guy you need to hear from is head coach Corey Chamblin who enters his fourth season in charge of the Rider sidelines. Along with general manager Brendan Taman, Chamblin was tireless in building a roster which he believes will be in the 2015 Grey Cup in Winnipeg in November. “I think it’s different,” Chamblin said, referring to his roster makeup from one year ago. “I think in some areas we’re a little bit better and that’s just a part of coaching and personnel and different things. When we looked at it, we addressed different issues. Sometimes it’s not what we didn’t find, it was what was available. ” Chamblin’s talking about the pool of available free agents and veterans on the trade market which he carefully selected for his 2015 F-150 AWARDED locker room. 15055MF0 CANADIAN TRUCK The backbone of the OF THE YEAR team starts with the head coach and ends with the quarterback.

With Coquitlam, Tai went 19-14-1 in 36 games, finishing with a 3.70 GAA and a .899 save percentage. It was more starts then he would have received in Lloydminster battling with Green, and the decision to return the goalie means the Bobcats have a player they are already familiar with. But with the market just opening for trades, Thibodeau isn’t cementing anyone into the lineup this early, as lots of deals could be made over the course of the summer. “It’s a bit of a relief to know that you have that 20-year-old in your pocket,” said Thibodeau. “But there are things being thrown at you every day. You never want to turn a blind eye to what is out there. That is no disservice to Chris or any player on our roster, but our job is to make our team and organization as strong as we can. It’s a situation where we know Chris can handle the load, he has proven that before, but a lot of things happen between now and August. We would never not listen to proposals out there. And at this stage of the season, those proposals are just starting.” June 1 marked the first day players could be carded and players could be put on the trade wire. Thibodeau said the phone has been busy already and there is a lot of talk. But as he said, the talk doesn’t always lead into deals, but Thibodeau suspects based on the amount of communication Monday, the Bobcats could have some deals finalized in the next two weeks.

“It keeps moving their goals forward,” said Spence. “It’s hard when you are playing the same teams over and over or you are playing teams that are not as strong. The best way to improve yourself is to play teams that are better.” Spence is keeping the goals modest, focusing more on the experience the lady Barons will get from the provincial trip, rather than on wins and losses. For her, it is about the growth of the team and giving her senior players a chance to play in the provincial final in their final year, while at the same time, giving their junior players some much needed experience against high calibre teams. The rugby provincials run from June 5 to 6 in Edmonton at Ellerslie Rugby Park.

Seeding nearly completed in Sask. Dry weather this past week allowed producers to make significant seeding progress across the province. Sixty-four per cent of the 2015 crop is now seeded, according to the Saskatchewan Agriculture Crop Report. The five-year (2010-2014) average for this time of year is 24 per cent seeded. Producers in the southwest are most advanced, with 86 per cent of the crop seeded. In the southeast, 66 per cent is seeded; the west-central

region has 72 per cent seeded; the east-central and northeastern regions have 42 per cent seeded; and northwestern region has 68 per cent seeded. Topsoil moisture conditions on cropland are rated as 10 per cent surplus, 68 per cent adequate, 20 per cent short and two per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as eight per cent surplus, 67 per cent adequate, 19 per cent short and six per cent very short. Moisture conditions vary throughout the province. Precipitation varied across the province, ranging

from nil to 49 mm. Cool, dry weather has delayed germination and crop development in many areas. Frost was reported in many areas and producers are assessing damage at this time, while hoping for warm weather. Some areas have reported wet conditions resulting in machinery getting stuck and some access roads being impassable. Other areas are hoping for rain to recharge the top soil that is getting too dry.

Another successful 4-H Expo

Copy Submitted

4-H Expo for 2015 came to an end Monday afternoon with the conclusion of the fed calf sale at the Lloydminster Exhibition Grounds. It was three exciting days of friendly competition, hard work and a lot of 4-H fun. Expo is one of the largest 4-H regional shows with 21 clubs participating totaling approximately 300 members and over 304 animals involved. The displays and projects completed were very impressive and well-done. The 4-Hers displayed tremendous skill and showmanship in the ring and throughout the entire event. Thank you to all of the sponsors, volunteers, calf buyers, 4-H members, and particularly to our major sponsor Synergy Credit Union supported by Servus Credit Union. Once again 4-H Expo included a strong sale. One lamb sold for $300 and the two swine sold with an average of $575/animal. The fed calf sale was very successful with strong community turnout and the sale stands were filled with enthusiastic bidders. There were 97 steers that went through the ring with an average of $3.30 per pound. (average in 2014 was $2.94). The champion steer sold for $4 per pound, bought by Weaver Order Buying, and the reserve champion Steer sold for $5.75 per pound, bought by GMack Oilfield Services Ltd.

The 4-H Expo was held at the Lloydminster Exhibition Groups from May 30 to June 1. Eleven 4-H Clubs from Alberta and Saskatchewan gave updates on their yearly activities and participated in events, including judging competitions, livestock shows and sales, during the opening ceremonies on Sunday, above and below.

REAL ESTATE Some rules Realtors would appreciate if clients followed

MIDWEST MINUTE by Vern McClelland www.vernmcclelland.com

While at a seminar in Saskatoon, a fellow Realtor said to me she has a dentist as a client who does excellent dental surgery but hasn’t got the foggiest clue about protocol when working with a real estate agent. Behaviour of some customers is one of the more aggravating aspects of any business, but, frankly, I think today there are too many people who earnestly believe that the world revolves around them, or maybe lack common sense. Let’s give you some true to life examples. Understand that almost all Realtors work on commission. If we don’t complete a transaction we don’t get paid, simple as that. We are not public servants on a salary with employer shared benefit plans, paid holidays and overtime. Don’t ask someone to spend time providing you with an opinion of value on your home if you intend to sell privately. Hire an appraiser instead. Some bankers like to tell their clients, “Just call a Realtor, they will give you a valuation letter at no cost, then you can bring it to me to support this loan.” It puts us in an awkward position when a former client calls expecting that. I would like to invite those loan officers to donate a few hours every week out of their paycheque and see how it feels.

All I have to sell is my time and knowledge. Please keep your appointments. Life can throw curve balls sometimes, and if you need to break an appointment, do so immediately on learning it can’t be kept. Too many times we will drive to a community 30 minutes away over the supper hour only to be told at the last minute that “something came up, can we do this tomorrow?” I also have a life outside of real estate; maybe there is something else I would like to be doing rather than wasting an evening. If I am showing you a house or acreage, remember that we are also asking the owners to vacate it while we are viewing it. Often they have children, it is possibly a school night, and we are re-arranging their schedules as well. Also, do us both a favor and don’t call me the last morning before heading back to the jobsite in northern Alberta after being home for 10 days. All that tells me is the only reason you are asking to look is to get your significant other off your back. You really have no desire to buy the home, otherwise we would have talked when you first came home. Interview two or three agents, then choose one, and only one, to work with. If you are a buyer, they can show you all the MLS properties in your search criteria. Should you be selling, the agent you select is a member of a regional network that enables the other Realtors to bring prospective buyers to your home. Never, ever, interview two different agents from the same brokerage. It’s like dating a woman and her best friend at the same time – it will only create trouble.

If you are a seller and want feedback on how a showing went, contact your listing Realtor, preferably by email. I have a number of listings at any given time, and being allowed a few hours to track down the buyer’s agent would be appreciated. Do not call the Realtor working with the buyer. Do you really need to know each and every time someone goes through your house what they had to say about it? Especially in this market, buyers have no sense of urgency – just ask the Realtor in our office who has showed one couple 43 houses so far, some twice. I have a cellphone with message manager. During business hours, our receptionist will forward calls to me. In the off hours, we have an excellent live answering service who will track me down, plus will text your contact information. Some days, like Mondays, I field close to 100 inquiries in a 12-hour period. Just leave me a message, I will return it in a timely way. Maybe you find it strange, but personally I never answer a call, text, or email when meeting with someone or at mealtime. I just hate seeing, and hearing, people talk on their mobile phone while I sit in front of them, so I will not do it to those I meet with. There is nothing in real estate that is so urgent it can’t wait for an hour. If you don’t agree with that policy, then I guess we aren’t meant to work together anyway. Vern McClelland is an associate broker with RE/MAX of Lloydminster and a partner with The Midwest Group.

Garden days are a great time GREEN FILE by Mark Cullen www.markcullen.com

We are approaching a hot season in the gardening business. Oh, I know that the heat will begin to hit home and the temptation to sit under the cooling shade of a tree in your favourite outdoor furniture will soon be upon us. I am not talking about that kind of heat. This is the season for public tours

of private gardens and they are a hot topic amongst gardeners of all sorts. From one gardener to another, I highly recommend that you not miss out. I have toured many of the great gardens of the world in my time. More recently I have made a point of seeking out the botanical gardens in each city that I visit, regardless of the time of year. Brooklyn New York, Las Vegas, Omaha, Neb., Atlanta Geo., and Amsterdam in The Netherlands have all had the once-over by this guy within the last year. Every time I visit a public garden (botanical or otherwise) I learn something about public green

spaces. The tour of private gardens is an entirely different matter, especially when viewed through the personal gyroscope of our own yard/balcony gardens. In public gardens much is left to our imaginations, if the goal is to interpret and adopt design concepts into our own private space. A playground and massive planting of bedding flowers does not always translate well into an urban yard. The tour of private gardens provides inspiration that is unmatched in the public experience. The positioning of garden furniture, water features, flowering plants, trees and shrubs, and the use of man-made structures to enclose or enhance an area is different in every garden that you visit. Truth is, every garden reflects the personality of its maker and its keeper. I always take lots of pictures while on garden tours but we are asked to be respectful of the private home owners. Avoid taking shots of the houses and concentrate instead on the garden plants and architectural features or the gardens.

Garden Days Speaking of great gardens, how is your neighbourhood shaping up this season? Do you think that the gardens around the houses and the public green spaces along your street might qualify as ‘Canada’s Garden Street’? Canada Garden Days is back for the second year in a row and plans to make it special are panning out nicely. This is a three-day event that occurs on Father’s Day weekend. Through an act of federal parliament (which is still in process), Garden Days have been designated as a special time for us to reflect on the value and unique contribution provided by gardens coast to coast (to the other coast). All Canadian gardeners, garden centres, garden and horticultural organizations and garden-related businesses are invited to create their own celebrations to mark the event. Why not rally your neighbours to visit a local park or public garden? Or work with a local garden centre or hardware dealer to create a special event where proceeds from the sale of certain plants or gardening products are designated to support a local public garden (even a community food garden). Use your imagination and power of influence around your block or your dinner table to stimulate discussion about the importance of our gardens, both public and private.

Support the Legislation Legislation is currently a private members’ bill in front of the government in the House of Commons. If Bill C-589 should pass, the second Friday of June will officially be designated National Garden Day. Right now there is a great need for the public to voice support for this bill. You can do your part by contacting your local member of Parliament and voicing your opinion in support of National Garden Days. If you like the idea of a National Garden Day (or two), I recommend that you go to www.gardendays.ca and click on the ‘National Garden Day’ hotlink, download the PDF file, and get as many signatures on the petition as you can. Take a hard copy of it to bridge club, to your yoga class, your service club, and hand it to your golf buddies. You get the idea. Send the signed petition to MP Malcolm Allen (http://malcolmallen.ndp.ca/) – postage free. A weekend of garden celebrations can be as big and exciting as we want to make it. How you feel about the idea today and what we do about it collectively will determine just how successful it becomes in coming years. Mark Cullen appears on Canada AM every Wednesday morning at 8:40.

Enter the Canada’s Garden Street contest If you live on Canada’s most outstanding Garden Street (or just an above average one), the people at Garden Days want to know about it. Click on the ‘Garden Street Contest’ hotlink on the website and explain how the gardens on your street (public or private) contribute to the quality of life and the aesthetics of your street in your neighbourhood. You could win a $1,000 shopping spree at Home Hardware and the bragging rights of being named Canada’s Garden Street for 2015. Last year’s winner was Russell Avenue in the Sandy Hill neighbourhood of Ottawa. The contest closes midnight, June 15, and the winner will be announced on June 18. Here in Canada we have so much, horticulturally speaking, to be proud of that it only makes sense that we put three days aside to celebrate our gardens: public and private.

WORKING WISE

Bereavement leave

Dear Working Wise, Do our labour laws guarantee bereavement leave? My mother passed away this weekend and I would like to know what the law is. My company gives three days off when an immediate family member passes away, but my wife works on contract. Is she entitled to bereavement leave as well? Signed, Somber Son Dear Somber, Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. The Canada Labour Code requires federally regulated industries, like banks, airlines, railways, telecommunications, media and crown corporations to provide bereavement leave. For more information on federal bereavement leave and federally regulated employees, visit www.labour.gc.ca. Alberta’s Employment Standards do not require employers to provide paid or unpaid bereavement leave. However, I can understand why you might assume that employers are required to offer bereavement leave since so many employers voluntarily choose to do so. Alberta companies choose to offer bereavement leave because of compassion, because other companies offer this benefit, and because grieving employees are more likely to be distracted and

unable to concentrate at work. They may show up because they are expected to, but they will be less effective and may be at greater risk of injury at work. This loss of productivity and workplace safety is

sometimes referred to as presenteeism. According to Harvard Business Review article, Presenteeism: At Work – But Out of It, presenteeism can cut productivity by a third or more and may actually cost an employer more than absenteeism. Like other preventive health and safety programs, an effective bereavement policy is proactive. Offering support to grieving employees is not only compassionate – it can also save time and resources. Employers can support bereaved employees by acknowledging their grief and establishing an effective bereavement policy. A tip sheet for managers and supervisors who are interested in establishing a bereavement policy, and supporting their grieving staff, is available on the Alberta Learning Information Service (ALIS) website at http://alis.alberta.ca. The tip sheet is called Employers: Helping Your Employees Cope With Loss. Grieving In The Workplace: Coping With Loss is an ALIS tip sheet for employees and co-workers. It covers how grief can affect you, how to work through grief, how co-workers can support you, and what not to say to a grieving co-worker. Do you have a work-related question? Send your questions to Working Wise, at charles.strachey@gov. ab.ca. Charles Strachey is a manager with Alberta Human Services. This column is provided for general information.

CAPRICORN December 22 – January 19

You’re far too close to the situation to be objective, Capricorn. Ask someone else to be the judge. A rare treat sets the stage for a great party.

AQUARIUS January 20 – February 18

Lo and behold, Aquarius. Someone notoriously unreliable does not disappoint. A meeting of the minds sets a new plan into motion.

PISCES February 19 – March 20

What a pity, Pisces. You know how to make a statement, but it doesn’t quite turn out how you envisioned. There is a silver lining in every cloud, even this one.

HOROSCOPES

Talk, talk, talk. That’s all that seems to be happening right now at work, and it is starting to wear on you and your colleagues. Relax, Aries. Action will be swift.

TAURUS April 20 – May 20

t a h W is it?

Attitude is everything, Taurus. Be positive no matter what the circumstances, and others will be, too. The web of deceit builds at home.

GEMINI May 21– June 21

Wise up, Gemini. What one says isn’t necessarily what one means. Read between the lines. Summer fun among friends makes for a great weekend.

LEO July 23 – August 22

™

4411-50 Ave, Lloydminster,

Opportunity knocks. Answer only if you dare, Cancer. Make no mistake. A lot of work will be involved. Jealousy weaves its way into a family gathering.

What a bore, Leo, or is it? You won’t know until you give it a try. A favor is returned just in the nick of time. Show your appreciation.

(306) 825-3013 VIRGO August 23 – September 22

June 2 Answers

SUDOKU

Need further proof, Virgo? Say no more, as an old friend will drop by. The tiniest of gifts makes for the biggest pleasures at a retirement home.

LIBRA September 23 – October 22

You don’t like to be bullied, Libra. A colleague doesn’t know that, however. Keep that in mind in an upcoming meeting. Maintain your composure.

SCORPIO October 23 – November 21

Completion is not an option, Scorpio. Do what you can and leave it be. A financial burden is lifted, thanks to a loved one. Romance sizzles at home.

SAGITTARIUS November 22 – December 21
