Fighting homelessness in rural Alberta by Jaime Polmateer jaime@lloydminstersource.com

When many people hear the word “homelessness” it may bring to mind people curled up on sidewalks, stretched out on a park bench or perhaps living in a makeshift shanty in a back alley. Though situations like these are real, it’s not seen as much in the rural areas of Alberta. Doug Griffiths, former MLA of Battle River-Wainwright and co-author of 13 Ways to Kill Your Community, would like to broaden the public’s idea of what homelessness is and show them that it’s a problem not just in urban centres, but all throughout the province. “It’s actually quite common in rural Alberta, but you wind up with people who end up on friends’ couches, they move back into their parent’s place or they’re living with their aunts and uncles,” said Griffiths. “It takes on a different form, so most people don’t think there’s a problem with homelessness because they don’t see the people on the park bench or curled up on main street. But in reality, homelessness is just as common in rural Alberta as it is in the cities.” He says because Alberta is known for having a low unemployment rate and good paying jobs, that many figure there is little concern for homelessness being an issue. Griffiths thinks this is not the case and that instead the rising economy has created a lot of what he calls the “working poor.” These are people who are employed, but stay with neighbours, relatives

or friends because they can’t afford a place of their own. These aren’t just young people, but also grown adults, who, because the general wealth of the province and resulting rise in housing costs, can’t meet up with rents or mortgages because they simply aren’t making as much money as the majority of citizens. “It leaves them homeless,” said Griffiths. “If a person can’t find a home in your community that suits their needs, that’s a situation a community needs to address too and that’s another form of homelessness. “If the seniors can’t find appropriate housing because they don’t want a giant house with a three-car garage and eight bedrooms, they’re looking for senior-appropriate housing and they can’t find it. They wind up moving to Camrose or to Warman, Sask. or they move to Phoenix, Ariz. They’re still homeless, that’s why they had to leave your community.” Griffiths says this form of homelessness, where there is a lack of appropriate housing for a given demographic, hurts communities because people are forced to move to a town that can accommodate their needs. He said housing is central in building a strong community and encourages people to think of not just homelessness, but housing in general. Leaders need to assess whether or not their community is addressing housing needs across the board because if they aren’t, residents will trickle out, which will hurt the local economy.

Gutsy Walk

by Jaime Polmateer jaime@lloydminstersource.com

Doctor offers tips for West Nile virus protection With summer here, people get to enjoy all the outdoor activities they look forward to during the long, cold winters. Swimming, biking and camping to name a few. But with the warm weather comes everyone’s most hated vampiric-like pest: the mosquito. Besides the obvious reasons people hold contempt toward the buzzing nuisance – their itchy bite comes to mind – there are some cases where they can leave those bitten with something much worse. The West Nile virus (WNV), which Dr. Peter Buck, senior public health epidemiologist at the Public Health Agency of Canada, says is typically transmitted by infected mosquitoes to humans will in some instances make people sick. “For every 100 infections there will be approximately 70 to 80 per cent that will have no symptoms at all and won’t feel sick,” said Buck. “Then of the remaining 20

to 30 per cent, some of those individuals will develop mild symptoms that could include fever, headaches, body aches, mild rash and perhaps swollen lymph glands.” Buck then says a very small percentage of people, less than one per cent of all cases, can develop more severe symptoms. These include a rapid onset of intense headaches, high fever, stiff neck, nausea and difficulty swallowing, vomiting, drowsiness, confusion and disorientation. These severe cases can then progress to loss of consciousness, lack of co-ordination, muscle weakness and even paralysis. These particular patients can experience the symptoms for months to years after the initial illness. Buck says it’s important to note that certain people are more vulnerable to West Nile virus than others, such as people over 60 years of age, those with underlying health conditions and those with weaker immune systems. There are no specific treat-

ments or vaccines for WNV and people in that small percentage who get severe symptoms may never fully recover. Any existing treatments are what Buck calls “supportive,” which may include nursing care, IV fluids, respiratory support and measures to prevent secondary infections. “Generally speaking, the risk is low across the country, so know where the risk is and know when it’s occurring and take steps to protect yourself,” he said. There are several steps he recommends, the first one being awareness. Knowing if WNV is active in your area is important and in most cases this information will be available on local public health websites. Because areas that are impacted by WNV vary greatly from year to year across the country and even province to province, it’s important to check often. Once you have that information the next thing to do is take preventative measures to protect yourself. See “WNV,” Page 4

Alberta Health Services officially launched their Patient First strategy on June 8, which was designed to ensure that patients and families play active roles with their health teams. By becoming an equal partner in their own care, AHS says patients will see improved results and experiences in their encounters with the service. “The patient first strategy gives patients, clients and families a central place by which decisions are made and represents the commitment from AHS to improving the patient experiencing by focusing on priorities and values of the people we serve,” Dr. Verna Yiu, vice president of quality and chief medical officer for AHS. “Through this strategy AHS will enhance their team-based approach to care, improve co-ordination and continuity of care in times of transition and improve communications between patients, families and their health-care providers.” She said the new strategy encourages patients and families to pose questions and concerns, which is the basis of familycentred care. With Patient First, AHS is looking to cement the principles of patient-family centred care in a consistent and standardized way across the organization. AHS president and CEO Vickie Kaminsky said the strategy’s launch shows a significant step toward AHS becoming the health-care system the province wants and deserves. Albertans played a key role in the development of Patient First, with over 300 people, including patients and their families, taking part in the consultation process for the strategy. She says they were consulted on, “What worked for them, what didn’t work for them, and what changes would they like to see from AHS.” Other input was given by AHS staff and physicians, service providers, community partners and members of other stakeholder groups like the Aboriginal Wisdom Council, the Health Advisory Council, and the Children and Youth Advisory Council and the Strategic Clinical Networks. Throughout the consultation and review process she says it became clear that Albertans want to be involved as full partners in their own care and want care that focuses on their own individual health needs. In the end, AHS came up with the Patient First strategy as a four-priority approach. “First, we need to empower patients and families to be active members in their health-care team, encouraging them to ask questions, raise their concerns and to show that we respect their values, their needs and their preferences,” she said. “Secondly, we need to improve communications between patients and families and their health-care providers as well as between all health-care providers to ensure that care plans are fully understood by all parties and that pertinent patient information is shared among all members of the health-care team.” The third priority was the need to build a team-based approach to care that gives patients and families a comprehensive and seamless health-care experience.

LPSD set for another Fun Run by Alex Chippin alex@lloydminstersource.com

Thirteen years ago, about 100 participants ran in the Lloydminster Public School Division’s (LPSD) first ever Fun Run. On Saturday, over 10 times that number will take part in the 13th edition of the race at Bud Miller All Seasons Park. “Each school is represented, each school has a running club that prepares them,” said Chad Smith, Grade 4 teacher at College Park School and one of the organizers of the event. “We do a 10-week running program to get them primed for the actual event.” As has been the case for the last couple of years, the LPSD will once again incorporate colour into the run. Participants can expect to be doused with colour bombs at seven stations set up throughout the five-kilometre run. Around 800 students and 250 parents are already signed up for the event, with last-minute registration expected to push those numbers even higher. For each person’s efforts, Smith says that every participant will receive a medal after crossing the finish line. Back in 2003, Smith set up the inaugural Fun Run with

his brother and a friend as a means to promote physical activity amongst youth. It’s worked, he says, as the events grows larger each year and has students like fourth-grader Makenzie Kippenhuck eager to run. “I really like running through the cornstarch,” she said. “I want to do it again.” And with the help of the running club, in which Kippenhuck says she runs one or two kilometres to prepare for the event, the run through Bud Miller is more like a walk in the park. While Saturday will mark Kippenhuck’s second Fun Run, others have been coming back for years. “A former student that keeps emailing me back – she’s now in university – but she keeps coming back

because she’s had such a good time,” Smith said. “From year-to-year, you get siblings coming out and you get people coming back. It’s something to look forward to, the kids always know that it’s happening – second week of June.” To keep up with the physical activity theme, Smith says that “athletic-oriented” prizes such as basketballs and footballs will be up for grabs. A family barbecue will follow the race, which ironically, does not include Smith. “Sadly enough, I’ve never been able to run because there’s just so much going on in the background. I would love to do it but there’s just too much behind the scenes that needs to be taken care of.”

Benoit won’t seek re-election Vegreville-Wainwright MP Leon Benoit has announced he will not be seeking re-election in the next federal election. “It is with mixed emotions that I announce that I will not seek re-election in the next federal election which will be held on Oct. 19, 2015,” he said in a statement released Wednesday afternoon. “I am truly looking forward to a slower pace of life and more time with my wife, Linda, and our children, grandchildren and friends. However, I will greatly miss working with the wonderful people I have represented over the years and my colleagues, both present and past.” Benoit was first elected as the MP of the Vegreville riding in 1993. He Vegreville-Wainwright sat as the MP for MP Leon Benoit the Lakeland riding from 1997 to 2004 and for Vegreville-Wainwright since 2004. “I was first elected to Parliament in 1993 as a Reform MP, which then morphed into the Canadian Alliance, and was proud to become part of this new Conservative Party of Canada in 2003 led by one of Canada’s best leaders ever, Prime Minister Stephen Harper. It has been a privilege to serve with him. “I have been lucky to be part of seven teams of MPs who entered public service with the common objective of making our country a better place in which to live and putting Canada in a position of having a greater influence in global affairs. It is has been a wonderful, humbling opportunity and I will truly miss all of my colleagues current and past. “Finally, I thank all of my current and past staff for all of the great work you have done for me, our constituents and for this truly great nation of ours, Canada.”

water collecting in tires and toys, in whatever little containers that could collect water. Tip them over, empty the water out and if it’s something you want water in like a bird bath, tip the water out and replace it.” The main thing is getting rid of any nearby stagnant water because that’s where mosquitoes like to lay their eggs. Buck says all of these precautions combined can reduce the likelihood of getting bit altogether, let alone getting bit by an infected bug. But again, in the majority of West Nile cases, the body will fight off the infection without the host ever knowing they were infected. Only a small percentage will get mild symptoms, but for the potentially severe cases, a little bit of prevention may be best as there is no cure.

Lakeland College looks back on strong year by Alex Chippin alex@lloydminstersource.com

After finishing another convocation celebration, Lakeland College is ready to celebrate a successful 2014-15 school year that was capped by a 93 per cent graduation rate between the Vermilion and Lloydminster campuses. “I would attribute that to a number of different initiatives that we’ve implemented to improve retention rates, including early alert systems, better support and services to students and those kinds of things,” said Lakeland College VP academic Michael Crowe. Those early alert systems involved class instructors filing assessments early in the semester to help identify which students may need academic support in that course. Support and services, meanwhile, included the college expanding its peer tutoring program and putting out new study skills resources online. The 93 per cent figure marks a four per cent uptick from last year’s rate and is part of a very positive overall picture for the school that just graduated 680 students. “Success for Lakeland College is complex and it factors in a lot of different measures,” Crowe said. “But on every one of them, I think we can demonstrate that we are moving forward as a college and I think we are providing effective training to people in our region and from beyond our region.” The first of four tangible measures, he says, is “learner’s success.” “What are our graduation rates? What are our retention statistics and how do we perform in those areas?” Crowe said, with retention referring to the number of students that stay at the school from one year to the next, before graduating. “We would also look to employment rates and those kinds of things as well.” Crowe says the school also looks at its applications and enrolments and how the college’s programs suit the current labour market. “Lakeland College was named one of the top 20 research colleges in all of Canada this year, we’re really proud of that,” he said. “Our application statistics for this fall are trending about 15 per cent higher than they were at this time last year.” Part of the increased application can be attrib-

Lloydminster Jewelry Guild president Dawn Lawrence Floen solders a piece of jewelry in her home studio. Twelve guild members will be at the Arts Without Borders Art Market this year.

Groups out in full force for Art Market by Josef Jacobson josef@lloydminstersource.com

Every year the Arts Without Borders Art Market provides local artists with a high-profile opportunity to showcase their work and introduce themselves to the greater community. While creating art can be a solitary endeavour, the market is also bringing out Lloydminster’s art guilds. “It’s a very big deal to the guild. We only do a few sales a year so this is our last sale of the year that we’re doing,” said Lloydminster Potters Guild president Joan Roper. “We feel our quality of work is better because we’ve been just trying to fine-tune things and be more skilled instead of just producing.” The potters have been preparing new wares for the past month, and will also be selling items they crafted for last month’s Mother’s Day sale. There will be a mix of decorative pieces as well as functional bowls and mugs. About a half-dozen Potters Guild members will be taking part in the market, which runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 13, either at the guild tent or on their own. Roper says she hopes to find time to explore some of the other art displays which will be lining 50 Avenue. “It’s wonderful to be with all the artisans that are there, so you see lots of different work. You see some very talented people who are in our community that are doing beautiful work,” she said. “It’s really wonderful to see what’s going on and how (the) arts are really growing within our city. It’s one of the best events happening in Lloydminster. The Art Market used to be separate from the Downtown Summer Streetfest, located within the Atrium Centre. Lloydminster Jewelry Guild president Dawn Lawrence Floen says moving the market outdoors was a good idea because it improved exposure. “I’ve been going since the very first one. This’ll be my third year outside,” she said. “One year I had a tent of my own and I asked if I could be outside the Atrium Centre, so I could bring people in. And then the next year there were three of us outside the Atrium Centre and then the year after that they decided, ‘Let’s just put the whole Art Market outside.” Twelve members of the jewelry guild are expected to attend the market, and like the potters, some will be exhibiting their own work independent from the guild tent. Floen says she will demonstrate some jewelry making when she’s not busy with visitors. She says the festival is an amazing opportunity for the public to see how creative Lloydminster can be. “It’s phenomenal because I don’t think the public really knows how many artists and how much talent there is in Lloyd,” she said. “To have all those artists in the Art Market there, presented in front of everyone as they walk through, I think that’s very important.”

Shelley Racz is no stranger to the Arts Without Borders Festival Art Market. The Lloydminster artist has been a part of the market for eight years and has seen it grow and change over time. What used to be a small indoor sale now attracts regional artists and shuts down the city’s main drag. “It was quite sparse. We were in the Atrium Centre, just in the lobby, and there would be a few local artists,” Racz says about the festival’s early years. “Now, there are artists from Vegreville, south of Lloyd, Wainwright, all surrounding areas.” Racz is originally from Winnipeg and grew up in Yellowknife before moving to Lloydminster. Like many artists, she started painting on her own time, participating in markets and juried shows, but it wasn’t until recently that she quit her job to pursue art fulltime. “I just got to a point where I wasn’t satisfied with doing Josef Jacobson Photo (art) one or two days a week, if I Local artist Shelley Racz has been involved with the Arts Without Borcould fit it in on the weekend,” ders Art Market for eight years. She says she has seen huge growth in she said. “I didn’t want to be the market over time. the old person going, ‘Before I leave this Earth I want to do that.’ If you don’t make that big step to try to do it, it’s easy to find excuses. You’re not going to know if you can do it until you take that leap.” Racz took that leap three years ago and now she has a job that doesn’t feel like a job. She says a big part of Arts Without Borders is raising awareness of the arts. When she was growing up her only exposure to art was through school activities. She hopes that Lloydmintserites take advantage of the festival and are inspired by the creativity that surrounds them. “Honestly, there was never an art show in Lloydminster,” she said. “You always had to go to Edmonton or another town, so the fact that we’re having it right here in Lloydminster and are bringing people in from around is awesome. I know lots (artists) can’t get into the Art Market because it’s full. That’s a good problem.” Racz plans to bring her paints and her easel and demonstrate her process for passersby. It used to feel strange having people watch her paint, now she’s inviting viewers to join in. “(Children) will come along and I’ll say, ‘Here, you put your mark on my picture,’ because there are so many people, they may have held a paintbrush in their hand during school and that’s it. They forget what it’s like,” she said. “They just get a feel for it and a taste of it and maybe it sparks something in them to go try it.”

Racz says it’s the festive atmosphere and friendly faces that keep bringing her back year after year. She hopes the art displays and demonstrations encourage new people to take up art and join the community of artists. “It’s exhilarating, I have to share it. I want everybody to paint ... because they might never know that this is something that they can do, or it could veer off into some other kind of art. But until they have an opportunity to try it, they’ll never know,” she said. “If one person out of 500 that goes through (the market) goes to a class somewhere, or picks up a paintbrush or some form of art, or goes to the (Lloydminster Cultural and Science Centre) to do pottery, that’s success for me.” The Art Market takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 13 in downtown Lloydminster.

SPORTS WRITER by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com

When the lights went out in Rexall Place and headliner Imagine Dragons took to the stage, the cellphones all went up. At least 10 to 15 people in front of me were recording the opening of the concert, and considering I was just seven rows from the stage with floor seats, that is a fair amount of people, let alone all the people behind me standing and in the seats. A 40-something woman beside me shouted to the teenager in front of her, “your cellphone can’t capture this, just live the experience.” It made me think right away how true it really is, but also made me question what is our fascination with recording video, taking pictures or sending the few seconds of the show out to all your friends on Snapchat. Now let me first say, I probably use social media more than most. As part of my job, I tweet, use Facebook and YouTube and use as much interactive content as I can. I see a value in doing this as part of my job. But when it comes to my own personal life, pictures and video have little interest to me. Even my girlfriend has pointed out how few pictures I have on social media of myself from

the time prior to us dating, if any at all. On our recent vacation to Calgary, we, of course, took pictures of our trip to the zoo, at hockey games and shows we went to and a few tourist pictures. I posted a few on Facebook so my girlfriend could have them, while the rest were left on my phone to download later. A week after returning home, my phone was erased, removing all my music, recordings and our holiday pictures. For a day I was a little cheesed about having lost those photos, but afterwards I remembered that I will probably never look at them again and moved on. It is why I don’t take selfies or personal pictures because I will more than likely never look at them. At the concert I took one photo. It was of Imagine Dragons lead singer Dan Reynolds standing at the edge of the stage with just the spotlight on him. Because of the stage going into the crowd he was a few rows past me, so when I took the photo it was, ironically, just him and a few hundred cellphone lights on, creating a pretty interesting view. I took the picture to show the person who gave us the tickets what it was like. Not for my own keepsake or enjoyment later. So many of my friends go to concerts and show it on Snapchat. I’ll never understand why someone would rather look through a screen at a concert rather than just watch it live. You paid money to see it live, so “living the experience” seems appropriate. Are you really going to sit at home and watch a shaky video of a concert performance over and over again? Maybe you do. I just go on YouTube and watch live concerts when at home done by HD cameras and proper sound. Half the time for work my eyes are on a screen, they don’t need to be in one during my social life.

Fairness for landowners

To the editor, A Saskatchewan Green Party government will usher in real change by opening a Surface Rights Advocacy Office for farmers and other rural landowners across the province. The purpose of the office would be to ensure that farmers are dealt with fairly by energy companies when negotiating over surface rights. The office is necessary because the rights of landowners under the Saskatchewan Surface Rights and Acquisition Act are not being respected. Landowners should rightly expect to have the rule of law operate on their behalf when negotiating Surface Rights.

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

The advocacy office will remove any obstacles that farmers and other landowners have in negotiating a successful agreement with energy companies. The advocacy office would supply lawyers to argue for the landowners’ best interests, in person or by letter. Opening the Advocacy Office is part of the Sask. Green Party’s surface rights platform for the next provincial election. Real change means respecting the rights of landowners in Saskatchewan. - Victor Lau, Leader Green Party of Saskatchewan

Barbecue to raise awareness for Angelman syndrome by Alex Chippin alex@lloydminstersource.com

Kent Fleming is hosting a barbecue fundraiser at the Lethal Motorsports Yamaha dealership on Monday, June 15, but it’s not so much the funds that he’s interested in raising. “We just would love people to come down and maybe ask us some questions about Angelman syndrome if they have any questions about a family member or something,” he said. “If they don’t know what’s wrong with them, we’d be more than happy to answer their questions down at the barbecue.” Instead of money, Fleming is focusing on raising awareness for Angelman syndrome, a rare genetic disease, which has symptoms eerily reminiscent of something else. “One would be a very similar walk or jerky movements that are very similar to cerebral palsy,” Fleming said. “And that’s the most common misdiagnosis.” Other typical symptoms of the condition include intellectual and developmental delay, epileptic seizures, sleep disturbance, love of water, frequent smiling and laughter and a generally upbeat demeanor. Fleming, who works as a general contractor, also serves on the Canadian Angelman Syndrome Society (CASS) board. His son, Ty, was diagnosed with the syndrome at the age of two. “We didn’t have a clue what anything was about that, because the doctors really hadn’t seen it very much in Lloydminster,” he said. Ty, now nine, is currently enrolled at St. Joseph’s Elementary School. “He’s the happiest kid in the world,” Fleming said. “He makes my day better every time I come home and see him.” Since the diagnosis, the elder Fleming has twice

participated in the Ride for Angels bike rally, riding from Lloydminster to Cold Lake to Wainwright all in one day. In the two years he participated, the rally generated $60,000 for CASS. Now Fleming has turned his attention to awareness. He says that while misdiagnosis is a problem in and of itself, an incorrect label can lead to further issues for families. “There’s a very real possibility that when you have one child with Angelman syndrome, if you haven’t had it diagnosed and you go to have more children, there’s a 50-50 chance depending on the way the chromosomes work that you can have another child with Angelman syndrome,” he said. The Angelman condition is caused by a defective or deleted gene on one of the maternally derived chromosomes. Current treatments can help control individual symptoms, but there’s not yet one large treatment that handles most or all symptoms simultaneously. As for Monday’s barbecue, Fleming guarantees that the burgers will be cooked to perfection with a little help from his friends at Bandit Pipeline, who are lending a barbecue rig, and Yamaha, who is supplying the food. Any money that is raised during the barbecue will be donated to CASS. The barbecue will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., while Yamaha’s Motorcycle Power Tour showcase takes place the same day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Planting and tending a garden is one of them. With that in mind, we built three box gardens last year and three more this spring. Funding was limited so we reached out to the community for help. Lloydminster is, and always has been, a giving, helping community. We are pleased to have Anthony Murray of TLC Landscape step in and supply the topsoil for our beds. Bryan Robinson of Yard Wurx Yard & Property Maintence supplied the equipment and manpower to fill our new beds with the topsoil. We had assistance from many other people as well and we are grateful for everyone’s help. We will spend many hours tending our garden boxes in the years to come. Thank you all...

Pet etiquette reminder from the city by Josef Jacobson josef@lloydminstersource.com

have voice control over their pets, keep them within sight, clean up after them, fill in holes they dig, carry a leash at all times and remove their dog if it becomes aggressive. Owners are also only allowed a maximum of three dogs off-leash at once. If dog owners want to play catch with their pets they must do so in one of the off-leash parks. “I know a lot of residents are using our sports fields for (playing catch), but it’s causing a lot of trouble for our users,” Rekimowich said. “When they’re playing their sports and there’s dog waste in those areas it becomes a very unsanitary situation for those athletes.” If any residents notice any bylaw infractions, they are welcomed to contact the city bylaw office.

It’s summer in Lloydminster and while more people are spending time outside, so are residents of a more four-legged variety. “We’ve had such warm weather and were seeing lots of people use our parks, which is a great thing, and Bud Miller (All Seasons Park) is a common area that people enjoy going to with their pets, so we just encourage them to keep (their pets) on a leash,” parks and recreation general manager Cindy Rekimowich said. The City of Lloydminster is reminding pet owners, and dog owners in particular, to be aware of the proper rules and etiquette of taking one’s dog for a walk. “We just want to encourage our residents and our parks users just to be responsible with their pets (and) keep the park a safe place for everybody to be,” Rekimowich said. “We want them to keep their dogs on a leash. If they want to let their dogs run at large we have the off-leash dog park that enables them to do that, we have two locations. And then also just picking up after Need a full Class 6 license and full riding gear their dogs’ waste when they’re walking them just to keep our parks clean and safe for all users.” The city’s current dog bylaw outlines the rule regarding animal waste. The bylaw states: “If a dog deposits feces on land other than within the boundaries of land owned by the owner of such dog, or within the boundaries of land owned by a person who has given express permission for such dog to deposit feces on his land, then the said owner shall immediately remove and dispose of the said feces by securely wrapping them in paper or plastic or placing them in a sealed container and depositing the same in a garbage receptacle.” The off-leash parks have their own set of rules. Children under eight are not allowed and children ages eight to 15 must be accompanied by an adult. Glass containers, dog food and human food are prohibited, but handlers should bring water for their animals. Dogs must be licensed, healthy, vaccinated, fixed, older than four months, accompanied 780.875.8355 1904 - 50 Avenue by a handler over 16 and not aggressive, antisocial or fearful of other Honda Motorcycles & ATVs Canada @HondaPowerCA dogs.

Streetfest returns for sixth year by Alex Chippin alex@lloydminstersource.com

For the sixth time in as many years, Downtown Summer Streetfest is taking over Lloydminster. “It’s a really nice community event,” said Dawn Hames, chairperson of Streetscapes. “It just showcases so much of our art and culture and entertainment and food.” Since its inception, Streetfest has evolved into signature event for the Border City. This year’s event takes place on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will have attractions set up on 50 Avenue, 49 Street and 50 Street.

Around 5,000 people attended Streetfest in 2014 and with a variety of activities for people of all ages, there’s no reason to believe the event can’t bring out as many, if not more people this time. “This event is listed as one of the top 10 tourist attractions in Saskatchewan,” said Hames. “It’s lots of local and regional content, it’s definitely a cultural event and it’s showcasing some of the best art and crafts and cooking and entertainment that we have to offer and it’s free to attend.” While there are plenty of attractions geared towards adults, such as the art and farmers markets as well as a car show, Hames says that the event has lots to offer to the younger crowd, too. Some of the children’s activities include bounce houses, balloon animals, face painting, a bubble garden, Disney princesses and a photo booth. The kids zone will feature magic shows and a clown.

Homelessness Continued from Page 1

“Because if they’re not (assessing housing needs), their seniors will leave, their youth will leave, the young families will leave and the people who can’t afford a house will leave. It affects the prosperity of their community if you don’t address the housing challenges,” he said. He raises the point that it’s not only about affordable housing, but diversity of housing to accommodate the different types of people that make up a community. This problem falls on the shoulders of not just the municipality, but groups like not-for-profits and businesses as well, taking

a collective effort to solve the problem. Griffiths used the city of Lethbridge as an example, which has come up with a vigorous plan called “Bringing Lethbridge Home,” they’ve stepped up to put an end to homelessness. He says their strategy and success happened because the community came together to look at the issue. Combining the municipality, economic authority, not-for-profits, businesses and public is what made it a success. “It’s got to be a business that’s trying to attract some new employees because they’re expanding.

If they’re attracting new employees, but those employees don’t have anywhere to live, or the right type of housing for young families, or they’re not near a school, they’re not going to be able to attract the right type of employees,” he said. “If you’ve got young families in general that want to open up a business, but they don’t have any housing that’s near a school or recreation facilities, or something that’s in their cost range, it becomes one of those fundamental issues that’s the responsibility of everyone who is trying to grow a prosperous community.”

Buck and co. have played over 150 shows in the last two years and have no intentions of slowing down anytime soon. The group started out as a cover band and gradually built up a strong local following, but now they have been slowly making the transition into more original territory. The time spent performing other bands’ music has infused a few different styles into their sound, which Buck describes as a cross between ska, reggae and country, a sub-genre the band has dubbed California Country. “It’s got a very summertime feel to it. It’d be a little bit of a Zac Brown kind of sound and we do have some rock and roll edge to it as well,” he said. “But Bob Marley is one of my idols and my voice is quite a bit country, but I just thought I’d try to incorporate it a bit on some of my

songs.” He said they’ve always had the idea of creating their own material in the back of their minds and recently they really started to take the thought seriously. Creating and writing is his passion and last year the Chris Buck Band released their debut album Buck Wild. Playing covers was a way for Buck to support himself, but now he’s using the radio tour to promote the original music. People looking to catch the act at The Bluenose can expect a bit of both and will also have the opportunity to make some requests. He encourages everyone to go out and have some fun. They plan on making the trip once a year as he’s looking to beefing up his local fan bases in towns across the country. “I think if they come out they’re going to have a good time, I really do,” Buck said. “I think they’re going to come out and walk away having a good night of just enjoying some fun music.”

As June is vehicle safety month, the Lloydminster RCMP have launched Project Clear Vision, which directly focuses on window tint. The RCMP said the goal this month is to raise awareness, educate and conduct enforcement with respect to illegally tinted windows. Although tinting is allowed on the rear windows of vehicles, it is illegal to have any kind of tint, spray or film on the front windshield, or the front driver and passenger side windows in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The Lloydminster RCMP will begin by placing flyers on vehicle windows notifying individuals of the campaign in efforts to inform people of the safety concerns. The RCMP said drivers need to be able to make eye contact with other drivers and with pedestrians, and pedestrians need to be able to make eye contact with drivers before crossing a street.

Lloyd RCMP focus on tinted windows They added tinted windows pose a risk as they reduce the ability of drivers to see what’s around them, especially when it is raining or dark outside, which compromises day and night time driving. If someone with tint is in a collision or needs to break the window to escape their vehicle, it may not break as it is designed to do so when tint is applied. The fine in Saskatchewan is $115 for the glass having coatings of sunscreen or reflective material other than what is applied by the glass manufacturer. In Alberta, the fine is $78 for installing, replacing or covering window glazing on the window, left/right side window of a vehicle located beside or forward of the driver with transparent, translucent or opaque material. The fine is $155 for driving with tinted windows.

Recruiting without borders by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com

When it comes to recruiting basketball players, there are no geographical boundaries. For head coaches, it is about bringing in the best talent available. And sometimes that means going outside of Alberta and Saskatchewan, even outside Canada, to do so. Lakeland Rustlers women’s basketball head coach Chris King knows this all to well. He is no stranger to bringing in important players to better his team, especially with the talent available in other parts of the world. But the challenges of bringing in important players are many, and sometimes it can be a shot in the dark based on talent, depending whether or not King has had a chance to actually see them play. Add in getting student visas and making travel arrangements, there is no guarantee a recruit is coming to Lakeland until they actually arrive. “It is a little easier in Canada when I can go see a recruit,” said King. “For me, it is just the logistics. Making sure they have a visa, making sure they have all their paper work. Even email, it seems is easier as they are closer and respond quicker. When you are recruiting internationals, sometimes they don’t know about our school, about our programs, so it makes it a little tougher.” Last season, King went far south to Australia to recruit point guard Tori Dugan from Busselton, Western Australia. King never saw her play in person, and relied heavily on Skype to make a connection with Dugan and her family in order to recruit her for the Rustlers. It was a long process to recruit the Australian, who he found through a recruiting agency, which took up to six months to complete. King had to help her with transferring to a Canadian school and helped her understand how school it North America, so their conversations didn’t focus on just basketball. King would come in early once a week around 5 a.m. to speak to Dugan and her family and build a stronger relationship through Skype and email. “That was one of the things I thought was key to getting Tori to commit to coming up here,” said King. In the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference, teams are allowed three import players. Lakeland this year

will have all three import spots filled. Along with Dugan, who will be returning for a second season, King recruited Keana Magalei from Bothell, Wash. and Shaunike Lee from Brentwood, Calif. Both players are junior college transfers (JUCO), as Magalei spent two seasons at Highline Community College in Des Moines, Wash., while Lee attended South Western Oregon Community College in Coos Bat, Oregon for two years. They are not the first Americans to play for the Rustlers, as King recruited Amanda Carlton in 2011, and she spent three seasons with the Rustlers before becoming the team’s assistant coach. His pitch to the Americans is a faster pace game in Canada, as well as offering them an extra year of playing time, as in the States, college players can only play for four years as opposed to five in Canada. It also means they can be impact players, rather than going to a higher NCAA division school and being a bench player.

“What I find on our side is the Americans we look at have a chance to go low Division 1 or Division 2, but not play major roles on those teams,” said King, “whereas they can come in with us and be impact players. No one is guaranteed starting spots, but they are both impact players. They are both conference all-stars, leaders on their team and they bring some maturity, which is something we were lacking last year.” It is high-risk, high-reward when it comes to import players. For some coaches, it can be frustrating to deal with players over the phone or online, rather than face-to-face meetings. In order to fill those three spots, King may need to target five players, which is actually lower than his Canadian numbers, where he would need to recruit possibly 10 to 15 players in order to get one to come to Lakeland. It means finding a student-athlete who wants to leave home, try a different environment and play basketball in Canada. And looking

away from players you know are going to be heading to Division 1 basketball. To get Magalei and Lee, King said he recruited around 20 players, and was real serious with about seven of the players. King actually had to turn away a recruit because of the three import roster spots, simply because Lee was a better fit for the Rustlers in the end. “Your recruiting numbers are slightly higher for Canadian kids,” said King. “You recruit 10 to 15 of them, you might get one. That is the reality of recruiting. And those are the kids you want. In the States it seems if I talk to five, I got a pretty good shot at one or two. So you have to be smart about who you talk to. “Basketball is a different sport than others because basketball is so huge in the States. For the girls it’s the legit Number 1 sport, whereas in the prairie provinces, it seems like more girls play volleyball. I’m probably getting higher level kids than say, other sports would.”

BARREL TO POST

No need to peak too soon by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com

Vern Nolin doesn’t want his horses peaking in Dewberry. The half-mile track has been good to the current reigning Canadian champion, as Nolin has won the last three shows in Dewberry, but a lot of that he says is luck, and while it is nice to pick up points in the Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association (CPCA) tour standings, he wants his horses to peak in a month when the Calgary Stampede starts, and keep some in the tank for the CPCA finals in Lloydminster. “You are there to win, but I don’t want my horses peaking right now,” said Nolin. “Usually, the guys that are peaking right now, you don’t see them in Lloydminster in the final four. It’s a timing thing and it comes after years and years of practice to figure it out. If you can have your horses peaking at midseason, usually they are tough in the Lloydminster final.” During the first show of the season in North Battleford, Nolin ran different combinations each night, picking up the third-fastest time on Day 1 with a 1:04.50, earning secondplace points in the standings due to Kris Molle’s non-point outfit earning the top time. On Day 2, he finished tied for eighth after a dead heat with his brother Shane, and finished the show with the 13th best time on Day 3, earning the fourth highest aggregate time at 3:14.46. The 72.5 points he earned also put him in fourth place, so while he hasn’t yet peaked, the four-time Canadian champion is showing his veteran experience and deep barn already after one show. But Dewberry offers a new challenge this year. With no racing in Little Pine last weekend, the CPCA has had a week off from driving the horses in a competitive racing situation. It isn’t an ideal situation for any driver, considering the Calgary Stampede is only a month away and it is one less week to hitch outfits together. “It’s not ideal that weekend off,” said Nolin. “It didn’t help us a bit, we need to go. We’ve been back in the

training mode we do in the spring and that is always tough once you get a run on them and then get them back in training mode. This weekend we will show more for sure of what is going to happen. But the horses are healthy and we had a decent Battleford. “It sure doesn’t strengthen us for Calgary at all. It hurts us and it will show, too.” As a veteran of the sport, Nolin knows that in order to do well in Calgary, you need the outfits to peak at Calgary and not before, as well as what it takes to get to the final dash in Lloydminster. While he has won the last three final dashes, he has also appeared in the final four since 2009, as well as in 2007. Couple that with 12 years at the Calgary Stampede GMC Rangeland Derby and Nolin knows maybe better than anyone when his horses need to peak and how to win races when it matters. “Over the years it is a proven fact that anybody who has come out of Calgary successful that their outfits are at their peak in Calgary,” said Nolin.

Last year in Calgary, Nolin finished in last place after a no-time on Day 7. He had the fastest time on Day 9 with a 1:10.17, and finished Calgary with $27,900. Despite his finish in Calgary, advertisers were not shy about putting

their support behind him in 2015, as Denton’s bought Nolin’s tarp for $120,000, the second highest bid of the night, only coming behind last year’s Calgary Stampede champion, Kurt Bensmiller, for highest tarp sale price.

Bobcats’ season begins on the road by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com

The Lloydminster Bobcats will start the next season where their last season ended. The 2015-16 Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) schedule was released and for the first time since 2012, the Bobcats will start the season on the road rather than at home, taking on a familiar division rival in the Bonnyville Pontiacs. It was in Bonnyville on March 22

where the Bobcats lost 2-1 in overtime in Game 6 of the second round of the playoffs, ending their 2014-15 season with a 4-2 series defeat. On opening night, Sept. 11, Lloydminster will return to the R.J. Lalonde Arena for the first game of what could be the most important season in franchise’s history, as the Bobcats start the road to the RBC Cup. “There are still some emotions there,” said Bobcats captain Taylor Mulder. “We have such a rivalry against them. It will be nice to get the

first couple games in against them to get some emotion going and get the guys going for sure.” Bonnyville will come down to Lloydminster the following night for the Bobcats’ home opener, the first of what will be a four-game homestand over the next 10 days, as Whitecourt, Grande Prairie and Sherwood Park all come to town. Lloydminster will play North Division opponents for the first eight games of the season before taking on Camrose on Oct. 1 at the Civic Centre. Twice through the season the Bobcats will have four games in a row at home, once in September and again in October. However, they will have a long stretch in December heading into the new year where they won’t see the Civic Centre. They will have 25 days between home games from Dec. 15 to Jan. 4, as Lloydminster heads out for six away games prior to the Christmas break, only to come back after over a week off with a road trip up to Grande Prairie for two games. It means for a month, the Bobcats are sleeping in hotels and spending lots of time on the bus. It can be more of a mental challenge than anything, and comes at a time when the team is getting ready for the holiday break. “It’s tough being on the road because you don’t have your own fans, sleeping in a different place and all that time on the road,” said Mulder. “Mentally, you always have to be ready for it and getting your rest and eating good. Just keeping mentally focused for it all.” At the end of the season, Lloy-

dminster will get a small dose of playoff mentality before the postseason begins, as they will face the Drayton Valley Thunder four times in five games over the course of three weekends. The first weekend, Lloydminster will be home for both games, then they will welcome the Brooks Bandits in for the final home game of the season on Feb. 16. The Bobcats will then head to Drayton Valley for two games against the Thunder, ending the season on March 5. While the Bobcats are hoping by then that they will have their playoff position locked up, playing the same team that many times gives them the opportunity to earn a lot of points should they need them at the end of the season, while also giving them a challenging opponent right before the playoffs are about to begin. “If you are playing a team that many times in that span, you’ll learn lots of knowledge (about) the team and you can go into each game prepared from the game before, so it is kind of nice having that many games in a row,” said Mulder. “Drayton Valley is a good team too. They are always tough to play against. (They) will challenge you and get your ready for (playoffs).” Other important dates include the AJHL Showcase weekend, which will be held in Camrose this year from Oct. 1 to 3. Lloydminster will play Camrose and Brooks that weekend. The 2016 AJHL Gas Drive playoffs will begin on March 10. The biggest date on the calendar, however, will be May 14, 2016, the start of the 2016 RBC Cup in Lloydminster.

We Lacrosse League’s (RMLL) can compete with any team that junior B North Conference, even is in the league right now as long if they are in last place in their as we come to play.” division. Against tough competition, With three wins in their last Lloydminster hasn’t been blown five games, including a pair out in any game, losing in of weekend victories over the overtime to the undefeated Fort Saskatchewan Rebels on May 23 8-7, and losing twice to the Vermilion Roar, 13-10 and 12-10. With lower penalty minutes, the most penalized team in the league has managed to cut the amount of times they handicap themselves while keeping their games against the league’s best extremely close. However, Lloydminster showed what happens when they don’t come ready to compete, as a disappointing 9-5 loss to the Edmonton Warriors at the end of May was an eyeopener for the team with only a few games remaining in the schedule. “The defence is still a work in progress and it is getting better,” said Murray. “Since the first couple of games, we have definitely limited our penalties. We are leading the league in penalties so it is nice that we are limiting it to two or three a game max.” Lloydminster has been the only team in the RMLL that has been able to take Fort Saskatchewan the 2015 F-150 AWARDED 15061MF0 CANADIAN TRUCK distance this season, so OF THE YEAR this weekend’s matchup against the Rebels will be a marker to see where they stand heading into the playoffs.

Where to set the bar? by Rod Pedersen Rider Insider

You remember the moment he was born Lloydmall 780.875.0203

2015

He’ll remember the moment he graduates.

2015

If the majority of the Rider Nation is correct, their beloved football team will be hosting a playoff game in November 2015. In an online poll at RodPedersen.com, readers were asked which place they think the Saskatchewan Roughriders will finish this season. The poll will remain open until Canada Day, but so far the largest margin

15061UC0

of respondents (45 per cent) feels the football club will finish in second place, which would carry with it an automatic berth in the Western semifinal. I think we’d all take that in a heartbeat. I’m going on record this week predicting an 11-7 record for the Green and White, and a third-place finish. It sets the bar relatively low, but it represents a modest improvement over last year’s 10-8 mark and

means the club would at least get an invitation to “the dance.” And what the heck’s wrong with 11-7 anyway? The Riders’ depth has been questioned after being raided in the 2014 off-season and the 18 games ahead will test how well it has been replenished. The Roughriders themselves set the bar surprisingly high just before training camp when general Mmanager Brendan Taman told a Regina

radio morning show he feels his team could go 12-6. That could be the sweet spot. A 12-6 record could very well get you second place because I think we’re all anointing the Grey Cup champion Calgary Stampeders the West Division pennant right now. After a 15-3 campaign last year, they could well achieve 16 wins this time around. In the end of course, records don’t really matter other than to determine playoff seeding. The Riders finished 10-7-1 in 2009 but finished first and hosted the Western Final for the first time in 30-some years. I’ve seen them finish better than that, but still have to go on the road for the postseason. But one thing’s for certain: everyone’s goal is to get to the 2015 Grey Cup at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg, no matter which road they take to get there. And now as we enter the second week of Roughriders training camp in Saskatoon, head coach Corey Chamblin is envisioning his team back in the big dance. “This looks like a team that has the makings of being a Grey Cup football team,” Chamblin said confidently. “I’m very pleased with what I see. I’m pleased with the talent, I’m pleased with the way the systems are coming along and I’m pleased with where we are. Overall, I think the staff is doing a good job, the coaches are doing a good job and the players are doing a damn good job of making themselves ready to play football games.” Frankly the only kneeknocking question mark surrounding the football club is the offensive line, which was noted here last week. The team is working to fill holes at centre and at right tackle and brought in two-time Grey Cup champion and former B.C. Lions centre Angus Reid as a guest coach to help speed up the cohesion in training camp. So far the reviews have been good but the real bullets won’t fly until this Saturday’s preseason game against Edmonton in Fort McMurray. Kickoff in the Northern Kickoff is 8 p.m.

Market update MIDWEST MINUTE by Vern McClelland www.vernmcclelland.com

I told one of my clients today that while the buyer prospect liked their home when it had been shown last week, we had not yet heard if they want to make an offer on it. “What’s stopping them?” she asked. “Like most buyers in this market they don’t feel there is any urgency to commit,” I replied. “And if they don’t see exactly what they want, they will wait to see if something else will come available.” Welcome to the buyers’ market, where supply exceeds demand, thereby putting downward pressure on value and increasing the length of time a property will likely be available before selling. It’s not a dead market. In fact, life goes on,

with the need to buy and sell because of ill health, death, job transfer, relationship breakdown, retirement, one more baby in the house, or the last one is out the door. It is the drumbeat that the rest of world marches to outside the oil-influenced economy of the Midwest. We are simply joining the normal activity citizens in Yorkton, Dauphin, or Salmon Arm experience. As many longtime residents of the area will tell you; we have been here before. Unfortunately, we just don’t know for how long this time. In every market there is opportunity for somebody. Right now, buyers are trying to flex their muscles by lowballing their first offer. Sometimes it works. Most times it just makes the sellers mad and harder to negotiate with. So let’s take a look at the actual activity for the first five months of the year across the 5,000-square-mile region including Wainwright, Vermilion, Lloydminster, Maidstone, and St. Walburg and all points in between. Total number of properties for sale is up eight per cent from this time last year, however only 105 homes, acreages, and lots sold last month with 850 residential sites still available on MLS.

In other words, if we didn’t list another property, theoretically it would take eight months to clear the shelves. It is not unusual to see inventory climb in the spring as many families want to have their children settled in the next home before school starts in the fall. What is making it difficult is that completed sales are about half of normal. Conversely, we are seeing more new buyers in the market today than even last month. Experienced homeowners look at the low interest rates, lots of product choice, and willingness by some sellers to negotiate as an opportunity to upgrade at a favourable price point. What amazes me is the number of cash buyers who are out there, particularly in the $600,000 plus market. These people didn’t make their stake by being foolish with their funds – so if they think it is time to deal, maybe some others should too.

CMHC spots trends in homebuyers Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has released its Mortgage Consumer Survey. The annual survey, the largest and most comprehensive of its kind, provides insights into the behaviours, attitudes and expectations of Canadians when acquiring, renewing or refinancing a mortgage. “CMHC’s mortgage consumer survey provides valuable information around the habits of active Canadian mortgage consumers” said Nathalie Fredette, vice-president, client relationship management. “These insights allow mortgage professionals to better understand their customers

• The main reason for renewing in advance was to avoid a perceived increase in rates (55 per cent). • Renewers are taking action to pay off their mortgage sooner. • 49 per cent have their mortgage payment set higher than the minimum required payment. • 32 per cent have either made a lump-sum payment or increased their regular payment or both since last renewing their mortgage. Mortgage broker market share by segment • Homebuyers (first-time and repeat) (49 per cent) are two times more likely to use the services of a broker than are homeowners (renewing or refinancing) (24 per cent). • Mortgage broker market share is trending upwards for most market segments. This is particularly evident among repeat buyers where broker market share has increased from 32 per cent in 2012 to 42 per cent in 2015. • Among first-time buyers, broker market share has reached 55 per cent compared to 48 per cent in 2014. • Broker share among renewers has remained stable at around 21 per cent.

Mortgage consumer loyalty to their lenders • Most mortgage consumers remained loyal to their existing lender. This is most prominent among renewers at 86 per cent and lowest amongst first-time buyers where only 47 per cent arranged their mortgage with the financial institution they were dealing with most. • Although interest rate remains the main reason for mortgage consumers to switch lending institutions (63 per cent), 58 per cent of mortgage consumers indicated that an existing relationship with their mortgage lender/financial institution was the main reason for remaining loyal.

What can an employer ask? Dear Working Wise, During a recent job interview I was asked if I was planning on having kids. I said no, but the question made me feel uncomfortable. Are employers allowed to ask such personal questions? Signed, Concerned Dear Concerned, No, employers are not allowed to ask you about your plans for a family. Private information like that is protected under the Alberta Human Rights Act for businesses under provincial jurisdiction. For more information on the Alberta Human Rights Act, visit www.albertahumanrights.ab.ca or call the Northern Regional Office (780-427-7661) or the Southern Regional Office (403-297-6571). Some interviewers might be unaware and may unknowingly ask inappropriate questions. You should be prepared for this so you are not caught off guard in an interview. Generally, any information that could be used to discriminate against you cannot be asked. Employers should only be asking you for information that is relevant to your ability to do the job. Employers cannot ask about: • Gender, marital status, family status, next of kin, marriage plans or child-care arrangements. • Source of income, unless it concerns your former employment. • Maiden name or name origin. • Age or date of birth, but they can ask if you meet the minimum age requirement for the job. • Previous address, unless it meets a business purpose acceptable under the Act. • Birthplace or ancestry. • Height or weight. • Sexual orientation. • Membership in organizations unrelated to your work. • Hobbies or interests that relate to race, religious beliefs, etc. • Current or past health problems, Workers’ Compensation Board claims, or any absence due

to stress or mental illness. • Citizenship or languages not required for the job. • Religious beliefs, customs and holidays that you observe. •Military service outside Canada, unless there is an acceptable business-related purpose. Employers cannot request a photo, which could reveal factors such as race and gender, except in certain circumstances such as a modeling or entertainment position, where this may be acceptable. If an employer requires a photograph for businessrelated purposes, they can ask for it after an offer of employment has been made. Employers can ask: • If you can fulfill work-related requirements, such as working night shifts or lifting heavy items. • For any previous names you have had if the information is needed to complete reference checks or verify your past employment or education. and • If you are legally permitted to work in Alberta. Three ways to handle inappropriate questions: 1. Write “not applicable” on the application form or politely let the employer know that the question is inappropriate. 2. Answer the question and then discuss the underlying concern that has prompted the question. “Do you plan to have kids?” might be the interviewer’s way of asking if you will be able to work late when needed. 3. Answer only the underlying concern. However you choose to answer, be professional, diplomatic and honest. After you are offered the job and accept it, the employer can ask you for information required for benefit coverage and for employment records. 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 article is for general information.

Lost loves reunite. This calls for a celebration, Leo. Monkeying around with your investments is not a good idea. Seek the help of a professional.

August 23 – September 22

Prepare yourself, Virgo. Everything you thought you knew about a dear friend is about to be called into question. A deadline is met well ahead of schedule.

LIBRA September 23 – October 22

Home is where the heart is, Libra. Wherever your vacation takes you won’t matter as long as you are with those who mean the most to you.

SCORPIO October 23 – November 21

Slow down, Scorpio. You’re moving so fast these days that you’re missing out on all of the crucial details. A decision at work ruffles feathers.

SAGITTARIUS November 22 – December 21

Values are challenged time and time again this week. Stand firm, Sagittarius. A clash in opinions at home gets the debate started.
