Rollin’ in refrigerated-style TAYLOR WEAVER
EDITOR
..................................
It seems Border City residents truly believe one good deed deserves another. Brian and Diane Prodahl, of Prodahl Environmental Services Ltd., recently presented the keys to a muchneeded refrigerated van to The Olive Tree. The van, valued at roughly $38,000, was purchased by the Prodahl’s using personal savings and not company funds. “Lloydminster’s been good to us, and whether things are good or bad right now (regarding COVID-19), that had nothing to do with this donation. This is for all the good years, and I felt now was the time for Brian and Diane to give back to our community,” said Brian via telephone on Tuesday morning. “I first thought about helping out The Olive Tree last winter and approached Becky some t ime soon af ter that to see if there was something specific on their bucket list, and she mentioned a refrig-
erator van,” said Brian. “I went shopping and eventually found something in the price range, and then found a contractor in Edmonton who could put a new electric refrigerator unit on it.” Being local business owners for almost 20 years, Brian and Diane know how important giving back to your community is, and practise what they preach. “I’ve watched my peers in Lloydminster, and there’s a lot of generous people here,” said Brian. “There’s a lot of good corporate citizens, and over the years my wife and I have thought about doing something like this, it was just never the right time to make a big donation.” With this being a refrigerated van, its main purpose will be the pickup and delivery of perishable food in the summer. “I think as this pandemic changes things in regards to the finances in Lloydminster, there’s going to be a lot of use for the van. I guess the timing was perfect,” added Brian.

Brian and Diane Prodahl (left) were all smiles as they passed the keys to a refrigerated cube van to The Olive Tree’s Becky Schille and Jana Thompson. The reefer van will be used to transport perishable food items to Border City and surrounding area residents.
The Olive Tree’s executive director, Becky Schille, explained the non-profit was able to successfully transport perishable food in the past using freezer blankets and coolers, but the van is a welcomed addition to The Olive Tree family. “We deliver food to Onion Lake and we’ve previously tried not to send dairy and produce because it would sweat
on t he way t here, so now it’ll be much less stressful and we can go up and take our time, and it makes it much easier.” Thankfully for those who rely on the services provided by The Olive Tree, operations have not changed too drastically since the World stood still in midMarch. “We’re still running most of our pro-
grams, but the way we do it is different. We are still serving community meals Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but by pick-up or delivery,” she said. “We’re still feeding most of the same people, we just don’t get to spend time with them and visit, and our senior’s luncheon, normally we’d visit and spend time with them, but now we’re deliver-
ing the meals to them in their homes. We’re still feeding people, but we definitely miss interacting with them. “We’re all really looking forward to next week and being able to open and see peop l e a g ai n,” sh e sai d , as retail operations in Saskatchewan are permitted to re-open on May 19 as part of the Re-open Saskatchewan Plan.

Cutter Rally For Cancer supports LRHF cancer ward MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
The Cutter Rally for Cancer completed its 16th annual event on Feb. 29, marking one of the last community events prior to the COVID-19 Pandemic. To date, over the event’s 16 years, donations have totalled over $130,000 around the community, with this year’s event bringing in $14,397.25 for the Lloydminster Region Health F ou nd a t ion ( L R HF ) , one of the biggest donations to date. “Year after year, this event proves to be a great community-driven event and we are continuously proud to be a part of it,” said Malcolm Radke, LRHF CEO. “They’ve given us a lot more than dollars over the years. Although that is quite significant, they also raise a lot of attention
Supplied Photo towards healthcare in our community, and we will always be grateful for that.” A physically-distant cheque presentation was held on May 11 at the Lloydminster Exh, where Cutter Rally Chairman, Della Wyst, presented the
LRHF with a cheque for $14,397.25. The funds will contribute to the Chemotherapy ward renovations at the Lloydminster Hospital, in partnership with the Alberta Cancer Foundation, an in-progress construction project
that is currently paused during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The LRHF encourages anyone looking to donate to the Cancer Care Unit or any other LRHF initiatives, such as the COVID-19 Emergency Fund, to visit lrhf.ca/donate today.

A message from the Lloydminster school divisions The following is a joint statement from the Lloydminster Public School Division and Lloydminster Catholic School Division
W
ith our virtual programs up and running across t he Cit y, w e t houg ht
it would be timely to provide an update on eduction for students in both the LCSD and LPSD.
Our joint effort has been to maintain the continuity of education for your children while working with the Province (of Saskatchewan) to ensure that the instructions from the Provincial Response team and the Ministry of Education provide the foundation for the way forward in the City of Lloydminster and student in the surrounding areas who attend our schools. With the announcement from the Provincial Government that classes will not resume in Alberta and Saskatchewan before June 30, we have begun to work on how education will be delivered in the fall. As we move forward, we are building on the assumption that schools will resume, but that life at the school ,ay look somewhat different than it did before March 14. In May and June, we will continue to deliver classes to all of our students virtually.
File Photo Though developing a new method of delivery for education has been challenging, we appreciate your support, as parents, in encouraging at-home learning offer by our school divisions. In our schools, more than 90 per cent of students participated in our supplemental learning programs. Those classes have focused on literacy and numeracy skills which are the foundation for how we will move forward in the fall. We appreciate your
partnership in encouraging your children to continue to engage with supplemental learning and pursue their studies as the weather gets warmer. Summer is calling, but we will be delivering on learning until the end of June. We look forward to working on what education will look like in September. As we do, we are taking direction from the Provincial Medical Officers of Health as well as our provincial and local levels of government.
We also look forward to hearing from you, our families about what is best for you children over the coming weeks and months. As always, we will put the health and safety of our students and staff at the forefront. We a l so c o mmi t to continuing to keep you informed of what we know, and how we plan to deliver education through our schools in the year to come. Sincerely, Nigel McCarthy, LCSD and Todd Robinson LPSD

Denham Ram Tough CPCA Finals on hold MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
For the first time in 27 years, the Lloydminster Exhibition will not host the Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association (CPCA) Finals due to concerns surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic. “This is not a decision we want to be making, but we understand to have a meaningful finals, the CPCA
has to have a race season,” said Owen Noble, Lloydminster Exh CPCA Finals committee chair, at a socially-distant press conference Tuesday afternoon. “We had plans in place for a great cabaret this year and we are excited to announce we have secured that same entertainment for 2021. “We wish all the drivers, outriders, CPCA personnel as well as
sponsors, volunteers and fans a safe summer and we will see you at the track in 2021.” The announcement came one week after the CPCA announced the 2020 season will be postponed, but fear not, as the organization is hosting two new web-series’ on their Facebook page. Be sure to follow along and not miss any of the action.

The Lloydminster Golf and Curling Centre’s 18-hole course will open tomorrow. It won’t be business as usual out of the gate, but it’s an indication of positive steps in the right direction. “Whether people come out and play by the rules or adjust to the conditions, we’re confident avid golfers and enthusiasts will enjoy a round of golf, and it can be done safely under the COVID19 adjustments put forward by the Government of Saskatchewan,” said Jordan Newton, Manager of Emergency Measures Operations.
“The underlying message is, course users must follow the risk mitigations in place to keep the reopening phases moving forward.” Guidelines include spacing out tee times, one player for each motorized cart unless the golfers live together, leaving flagsticks in the hole and using raised cups, removing ball washers from the course, taking payments over the phone and the closing of sit-down bar and beverage services. The driving range remains closed until further notice. Important Dates May 14 - Phone lines
open at 9 a.m. Tee times can be booked three days in advance May 15 - Golf course opens May 15 to 18 - Tee times will be 20 minutes apart May 19 - Tee times will be 15 minutes apart. To book and pay for a tee time, golfers must call the Pro Shop at 306825-5494. Walk-on golfers are not permitted.

Good journalism in Canada has become mission-critical Here’s how to help it survive EDWARD GREENSPON SPECIAL TO THE MERIDIAN SOURCE
..................................
Canadians want a fire department of news — a dependable system they can ignore most days yet will rush to the rescue when they smell smoke. But who will pay? At focus groups I attended for The Shattered Mirror report, participants revealed how they generally accessed their news on Facebook. And then someone would invariably interject, “Unless it’s important.” The moderator asked what they meant. “Well, I can’t count on my friends and family to understand when something important happens,” or “I mean (laugh) Facebook doesn’t have any reporters to find out what’s happening.” In those moments, they said they turned to media they knew and trusted. Perhaps you’ve noticed there’s a fivealarmer out there. A public health crisis passes the “importantto-me” test. Good journalism has become mission-critical. Even antagonistic politicians have taken to praising the news media as an essential service. But the object of their affection is exhibiting a worrisome cough and fever. With consumers confined to their homes, ad revenues are down 50 per cent and more at many news organizations. The last big recession marked the beginning of the unspooling of news industry revenues.
Until 2008, Canadian daily newspapers generated a combined $2.5 billion in ad sales. It fell 17 per cent the following year. By 2018, it stood at $946 million. Will this recession prove the tipping point? Eight weeks into the crisis, 70 papers have already temporarily or permanently closed or suspended print edit ions. Two t hou sand jobs are gone. The hundreds of free community newspapers and local broadcasters dotting the national landscape, lacking subscription revenue, are the most vulnerable. The crown jewel of Quebec journalism, La Presse, is reportedly seeking a government bailout. Revenue is squeezed for subscriber models, too, with just nine per cent of Canadians paying for online news, according to the Reuters Digital Institute. And so at the very moment journalists are reminding us of their enormous social value, they are approaching endangered species status. What should be done? For starters: Finally, eliminate the absurdity of foreign digital giants enjoying more favourable tax treatment than Canadian media. What’s good for Netflix (and Facebook, Google and nytimes.com) is not necessarily good for Canada. Activate last year’s $595-million journalism package to relieve the crisis pressures piled on by the ongoing decline. The labour
File Photo tax credit promised in the 2019 federal budget hasn’t paid out a cent yet. The assessment process is yet to begin. As soon as 2019 payments are issued, front-end 2020 disbursements. This would represent an advance on budgeted funds, not new money. Increase the labour credit salary ceiling from an arbitrary $55,000 to actual bargaining unit figures. Raise the subscription tax credit from 15 per cent (too paltry to sway consumers) to 50 per cent. Expedite the process according charitable status to journalism. As the Public Policy Forum (PPF) wrote in “What the Saskatchewan Roughriders Can Teach Canadian Journalism,” the news ecosystem of the future will be more community-based and feature more non-profits. Let’s enable philanthropic foundations to help out. Finally, get in touch with Australia and France about recent competition policy initiatives requiring search engines and social
media companies to negotiate payments for original news content. In The Shattered Mirror, PPF recommended a tried and tested system that would transfer funds from platform companies that profit from digital advertising and don’t invest in journalism to those covering the goings-on of our democracy. Canada has already staked out an international leadership position on arm’s length measures to preserve journalism. Let’s turn next to working with like-minded nations to establish better-balanced arrangements between innovative digital distribution platforms and indispensable news-gathering operations. If you want a fire department at the ready, someone has to pay. Edward Greenspon is president and CEO of the Public Policy Forum, author of The Shattered Mirror: News, Democracy and Trust in the Digital Age and former editor-in-chief of The Globe and Mail.

New partnership turns worksite into classroom MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
Lakeland College and Ridgeline Canada Inc. are pleased to announce a partnership that will bring work-
integrated environmental training programs and college credits to Indigenous students. Through the partnership, Indigenous students will receive com-
petency-based training and work experience at a third-party job site, following a curriculum Ridgeline created.
“
The big innovation here is that students participating in this program can complete a portion of their training while at work, under the mentorship of an industry professional, and then can have the associated learning outcomes evaluated on-site.
During this introductory training, students will earn a Lakeland College certificate as well as college credits, if applicable, towards a degree or diploma program at Lakeland. The college will also act in an advisory capacity, assisting Ridgeline with reviewing the curriculum. “This is a new and innovative way for Lakeland to build partnerships that support Indigenous-focused training and we are very excited to be involved,” said Michael Crowe, vice president, academic and research, at Lakeland College. “The big innovation here is that stu-
File Photo dents participating in this program can complete a portion of their training while at work, under the mentorship of an industry professional, and t he n can have the associated learning outcomes evaluated on-site. In a very real sense, their classroom is the worksite, and this aligns with what we do at Lakeland, where we always work to put our students in the lead. We look forward to welcoming graduates of this training program to Lakeland to further their education in the environmental sciences – a dynamic field with growing career opportunities.” The partnership came into effect on April 15. The pilot program is targeting 10 students
initially for worksite training with an industrial partner. “The program is unique in that it offers a ‘practicum first’ mentality, then a specialized post-secondary education opportunity as opposed to the traditional education/ practicum model. This allows students to not only develop valuable skills but also to inspire them to pursue a career in an area they like through a post-secondary institution,” said Tyler Heathcote, president of Ridgeline Canada Inc. Lakeland College offers a two-year environmental sciences diploma program with majors in conservation and restoration ecology, wildlife and fisheries conservation, environmental conserva-
tion and reclamation, and water conservation and management. Graduates of the diploma programs can stay for an extra year at the Vermilion campus to earn a double major or enrol in Lakeland’s bachelor of applied science: environmental management degree program. Ridgeline Canada Inc. has been providing environmental and waste management services in Western Canada since 1999, offering a wide variety of environmental site assessments and remediation strategies for site reclamation on impacted lands. Their clients include the oil and gas industry, as well as power and utilities, renewable energy and commercial land development.

His boys and girls WHISPERS OF THE PAST SANDRA L. BROWN
Buildings, no matter their size and purpose, are never just a building. There’s always a history behind it and a story behind its namesake. Born in England (1871), Martin Browne came to Lloydminster (1906) with his wife, Rose, and their three young children. Martin deposited his last $5 for the land title and then went in search of work. Living in a tent, their homestead was 32 miles south of Lloydminster. A variety of jobs followed including labourer, stonemason, gravedigger and hospital janitor. While whistling a familiar tune, he rode a bike in the summer and walked in the cold prairie winters. Rose stayed at home and dedicated her life
to Martin and their growing family. Eventually, they moved to Lloydminster.
“
After years of service he had many friends amongst generations of school children. Amazingly, he retired at the age of 83 years in 1953.
This dedicated caretaker began his illustrious career in 1913 for the Lloydminster Public School District. Mr. Browne took great pride in the beautiful flowers on the school grounds, which were a testament to his “love of beauty and nature.” Local youth could always count on him as their friend and someone who was there
when they needed to talk, someone to listen or simply a helping hand. As a mentor, he was a true definition of a gentleman and was actively involved in the growing community of Lloydminster. Looking after five schools, his daily workday started early at 2 a.m. when he made the rounds to start the coal and wood heaters. After breakfast with his family, he’d go back to the schools where he would pump water and haul in wood and coal. Having never missed a day of work in 35 years, he was always on time and raised the flag daily. When the schools amalgamated, he was caretaker for the Meridian School and looked after the yards. He was also appointed the Truant Officer. Well-liked by stud e n t s a n d t e a c h e rs ,
his wooden apple box on Valentine’s Day was full of homemade cards. He loved his work and all the students. After years of service, he had many friends amongst generations of

school children. Amazingly, he retired at the age of 83 years in 1953. Schools were originally named after faithful employees of the Public School District. It was a unanimous decision by the

Board to name the school after Martin Browne who was an exceptional person. This decision was met with widespread approval by members of the community. CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

So, has everyone been doing their 100 daily push-ups? If not, it’s never too late to try something new you might deem impossible. I took my 100 push-ups perday idea and recrafted it. Now, I’m exercising at home, but the at-home workouts closely mirror exercises I’d be able to do in an actual gym. You can do 100 push-ups 100 different ways by simply switching up that power stance you’ve been working on, which in turn works muscles you may not have used in a while. What started out as selfmotivation to get more fit, out of pure boredom, has transpired into something bigger. The more I talk to people
about what I’ve been doing to keep myself busy during this pandemic, the more motivated they get to re-attain their onceprominent fitness goals. It’s a win, win, baby! Now, over the years, I could say my body is like the elevator business; it has its ups and downs. If I’m not careful, eat anything in sight and don’t exercise, I’ll balloon up pretty quickly. That’s just how my body works, and everyone’s works in its own ways. I am aware of this reality and embrace it. It’s a challenge! So, when I actually have my act together, I am eating clean (which is probably the best feeling in the world) and exercising; challenge conquered. Plus, coming up with a variety of sweat-inducing sagacious at-home workouts is a heck of a lot of fun (when you
live alone and have started talking to your plants). I have lost count of how many times I’ve taken the initiative to reset my own fitness goals, but every time I do, I find I know my body better, thus making the experience that much better. Every time I “get back at it” I feel like I’m witnessing the evolution and diversity of humans. Each time I take things more seriously, whether it’s clean eating, exercise, you name it, it pays off in spades. I tend to go from zero to 100 in many aspects of life, so I’m glad that 100-per-cent effort is going into something positive. So, maybe this will be the time my habit of going back to old habits is broken. If not, I know the next time I jump in with both feet will be that much more rewarding.

Leeway from Lloyd Green and Bloc hit nerves STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE
Green Party leader Elizabeth May declared oil is dead last week, while Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet said Alberta’s “tar sands” are “condemned,” suggesting any federal aid funds should be directed at renewable energy. In reality, the Green Party is closer to death from voter apathy than oil ever will be.
The Bloc, meanwhile, should know Quebec is actually benefiting from Alberta oil by accepting about $13 billion a year in equalization transfers. Alberta gets nothing while contributing billions of dollars from oil revenues. The ignorance of these federal leaders regarding the impact on the energ y sector astounds me, knowing

Canada’s oil and gas sector is the world’s fourth-largest oil export economy. Renewable energy is great, but it’s not an export business, which Canada needs for trade and jobs. If oil is dead, tell that to CP Rail that hauled a record 2.8 million tonnes of grain in April, powered by diesel fuel, made by companies like Husky Energy in Lloydminster. Grain is another huge export sector, but who needs to haul grain by diesel? A couple of solar panels glued to a train engine
should do the trick. Tell every community (voters) in Saskatchewan and Alberta that oil is dead when many local sports teams are sponsored by oil and gas companies. Most of the advertising on sports facilities are sponsored by local oil and gas companies. Naming rights on facilities are purchased by oil and gas companies. Many of the coaches, trainers and other volunteers work in the oil and gas sector. No worries, the renewable energy sec-
tor will fill the gap with 10 employees or less per company!! The shortlist on just about every emergency response team in small c o mm u ni t i e s i n S as katchewan and Alberta is made of up oil and gas workers. How does the Green Party and Bloc help Canada? The asphalt that provinces like B.C. and Quebec are using to pave roads for infrastructure projects during COVID19 is made by energy companies like Husky in Lloydminster. Who needs asphalt with all that natural
gravel out there? Calling the oilsands tarsands, by the way, is derogatory to Albertans and is the foul language of anti-oil protesters. These socalled political leaders should know better. They should also know Quebec did everything in its power to stop the Energy East pipeline while B.C. still fights the Trans Mountain pipeline. Leadership is about supporting the economy of Canada. May and Blanchet are not leaders. May both rest in peace at the polls.

vastly different. Once schools closed, teachers scrambled to prepare online education and began teaching in a virtual classroom to support their students during this challenging time. I too have been part of the effort. Every Monday I deliver learning pack-
ages to the homes on my bus route. It’s been great to wave at the small smiling faces I see in windows and doorways. Two of my passengers, Molly and Claire Larson, draw a special picture for me each week and hang it where I’ll see. Such
moments of contact, no matter how brief, mean a lot. As an EA, I’m also at my home computer to help children online. However, placing a microphone and camera in the hands of a young child, who then broadcasts his or her family’s activities from the (supposed) privacy of their home, can pose new and unusual problems. I have now heard: extensive use of power implements, dogs barking and subsequent hollering at said dogs, profuse swearing, babies crying, the clatter of meal preparation, TV blaring and sausages sizzling.

Blasted technology, that was embarrassing! FROM PAGE 12
Of course, that’s pure speculation. It could well have been hamburgers. Another interesting situation arose as one of our teachers delivered a math class from home. Without warning, her husband, Dunlop, burst onto the scene behind her, a guitar strung round his neck as he paced about the room lustily singing, “Before Every River Runs Dry” by Brooks and Dunn. Everything stopped dead as he appeared on camera. Never missing a beat, Gwen moved aside, and the group at home edged closer to their screens to catch the entirety of this fine rendition. I also meet with a group of teens to read a novel. Somewhat reluctantly, they take turns
reading aloud, then enjoy a brief discussion of the chapter before signing off. No one (including me) seems overly eager to flip on the camera, since they know their face will fill each participant’s screen, but it’s worked out well— mostly. After two of my cats interrupted class the previous day, I decided to lock them out. Lovingly, I nuzzled Nemo, a particularly fluffy specimen before setting him down outside the door, shutting it firmly and taking my seat in front of the computer. “Hello,” I greeted them cheerily. After each one had read, I finished out the hour. It was a gripping portion of the tale and leaning closer I gazed down into the camera, enunciating every word, playing the role of each character with
feeling and verve. My voice shook with intensity and my face shone big and round on each screen as I came to the end of the chapter where the hero returns home. Snap p ing t he b oo k shut, I wished them all a good day and smiled as, with a chorus of goodbyes, they were gone. However, it was as I passed the living room mirror that I caught sight of my moon-like face. OH NO! I had spent the last 45 minutes on every screen, in every home, in living colour— with a huge, white blob protruding from my nose. ARGH. Sure, it was a lump of cat fur, but they didn’t know that!

Emergency support extended for Sask. small businesses MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
Last Friday, the Saskatchewan governme n t a nn ou n c e d t h e Saskatchewan Small Business Emergency Payment (SSBEP) program will be extended to the month of May for businesses that are required to remain closed or substantially curtail operations after May 19. “While the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan is now underway, we are
still very much dealing with the global COVID19 pandemic, so we need to be methodical in how we implement each phase of the plan in our province,” said Trade and Export Development Minister Jeremy Harrison. “We want to be flexible and responsive with the program and make sure we provide timely support for businesses so they can utilize this funding where it will pro-
vide the most benefit for them. “We will continue working closely with our business community on this, and other measures, right through each critical phase of the Re-Open Saskatchewan plan.” Businesses will not need to reapply to the program. Businesses that qualify for the program will automatically receive a second payment after May 19.
Launched on April 13, the SSBEP program is a $50 million program providing financial support to small and medium businesses that have had to temporarily close or substantially curtail their operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligible applicants receive a payment of 15 per cent of their sales revenue from April 2019 or February 2020, up to $5,000, to help businesses with expenses including fixed costs such as rent. To date, the SSBEP has processed more than 4,700 applications and provided more than $15 million in support to Saskatchewan businesses. For more inf ormation and the SSBEP application, businesses can visit www.saskatchewan.ca/covid19businesses.

Martin Browne School, the fifth public school (1958), was a 4-room school when they named the school after him. Sadly, he passed away (1955) before receiving this honour. There is a myriad of
feelings from folks who saw this neighbourhood landmark demolished in 2019. Nothing in life or community progress is ever simple and clear cut. There’s always more to the story than what first appears on the surface.
We don’t always need a physical building to treasure our memories in our hearts. Losing Martin Browne School is a heartfelt community loss; but it will truly be a greater loss if we forget this school’s significance, its namesake and its illustrious history.

Lady and Spook MIDWEST MINUTE VERN McCLELLAND
It is no secret that people love their cats and dogs so much, it has become the social norm to call themselves “pet parents”. On our farm, like many others, the dogs and horses are treated more like business partners than pets. Saturday morning, I was working on a corral extension when I noticed a yearling heifer had crawled the feed bunk and was enjoying eating the fresh grass in between pens. Yearlings are like teenagers, give them a taste of freedom, real or perceived, and you know there could be troubling outcomes. Sure enough, the 800 lb. calf went blindly past an open 12’ gate twice in our attempt to
put her back in with her pen mates. This is the same animal who, just moments before, had somehow fitted her 20” frame through an 8” gap between two loose panels. It was time to use the smallest but hardest working hired help on the place, our red heeler, Lady. My son stood at one end of the 60’ wide alleyway near the open gate to ensure the entire herd didn’t come out while I defended the other end with the yearling standing aggressively somewhere in the middle. Lady quietly went by her, then at just the right spot, turned on the calf and with one nip pushed her down
the fence and into the pen. Neither of us had said a word. We simply didn’t need to! The dog knew what to do. Decades of breeding for herding cattle and years of experience were demonstrated to us in a couple of minutes. We used to have a quarter horse gelding named “Spook” who came to live at our place at the age of four. He was a purebred with a long fancy registered name on his AQHA certificate, but we soon learned how he came by the barn name. It seemed there wasn’t a gate that could hold him if he wanted to go somewhere. I swear he would escape his pen just to prove he could. He never wandered away and would allow himself to be caught afterwards without any fuss.
I always thought there was a twinkle in his eye when we walked up with a twine or halter to lead him back. Our family referred to him as the “girlfriend” horse; one you could put a novice rider on and know she wouldn’t end up on the ground. But when it came time to work, all you
MERIDIAN SOURCE
had to do was show him what was needed and settle deep into the saddle. In addition to general ranch duties, we used him for years as an instructor horse when training other geldings for mounted patrol duties or ranch work. The “student” horses would see him unconcernedly walk over
15
bridges, across tarps, cross creeks, or even stroll through a line of fire laid out on the ground, and seeing there was nothing to worry about, follow. He was confident and intelligent, and it was a sad day for our family when he left us for greener pastures above. CONTINUED ON PAGE 16

Easily the best horse we have ever had the privilege of knowing. Animals like these have such a short life span compared to us humans, so when you encounter a special one, kno w t h e e xp e ri enc e may not be repeated in your lifetime.

Prioritizing road/public safety this May Long
File Photo MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
The Victoria Day long weekend typically marks the start of road-trip season for many Albertans. Due to the ongoing pan-
demic, this year is different than all others. The week of May 12-18 is Canada Road Safety Week, a seven-day national campaign led by the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP), aimed at making our roads the safest in the world. Although there is significantly less traffic on Alberta’s roads due to restrictions related to COVID-19, impaired driving, distracted
driving and speeding remain a problem across the province. “As our province begins to consider reopening, some drivers over the May long weekend may be tempted to relax their attitudes around driving rules, physical distancing and public health orders. There is zero tolerance for unsafe driving behaviours amidst the pandemic,” said Superintendent Gary Graham, Alberta RCMP Traffic Services. “As always, our Traffic Services members will be on the road promoting safe driving spaces and enforcing laws to help all motor-
ists stay safe while travelling. Changing dangerous habits such as speeding, impaired and distracted driving starts with thinking differently and ‘shifting gears’ about these problematic behaviours.” The RCMP will focus this year’s campaign, “Shifting Gears,” on shifting driver behaviour surrounding drug and alcohol impairment, driver distractions and speeding. “Alberta’s Relaunch Strategy recognizes the importance of the outdoors and recreation for Albertans’ sense of well-being while also recommending limiting non-essential travel at this time. This long
weekend, I am asking Albertans to practise physical distancing and avoid gathering in groups,” said Dr. Deena Hinshaw, Chief Medical Officer of Health for Alberta. “If visiting summer cottages, respect the health and safety of small communities by planning your trip without stops for gas or food. “When outdoors or in public, take all the necessary precautions to protect your health and the health of those around you. Please enjoy the weekend and stay socially connected, but do so as safely and responsibly as possible.” 20053SC0 20054SC0

Give back while running with the Bobcats JAMIE HARKINS
WRITER
..................................
The Lloydminster Bobcats are off the ice and on the pavement.
“
We’re pretty fortunate in what we get to do during the hockey season. We thought this would be an opportunity for us to give back to the groups we’ve been a part of throughout the year.
The Bobcats organization is holding a Distancing Family Fun Run on May 23, in an attempt to raise a bit of money for frontline workers through the Lloydminster Health Foundation as well as the meal programs offered by the city’s public and Catholic school divisions. “We just want to do somet h i n g t o g i ve b a c k t o o u r community,” said Bobcats head coach and general man-
File Photo ager Nigel Dube. “We’re pretty fortunate in what we get to do during the hockey season. We thought this would be an opportunity for us to give back to the groups we’ve been a part of throughout the year.” Dube said the main goals of this initiative are thanking the hard work our frontline medical professionals have done and continue to do during the pandemic, along with supporting the
school’s meal programs that help vulnerable children in our community. He said an added benefit of the event is providing a physical and mental health challenge for Border City residents to undertake. “It’s a hard time for everybody and we want to highlight the positives that can come out of it,” he said. “We’ve had great support. Lots of our players are going to be doing it from their
respect ive home s and w e look forward to that as well. They’ll send in some video messages and stuff. We’re going to share those and (messages from) everybody who participates.” The Distancing Family Fun Run has no set course, allowing anyone to complete the one, five, 10 or 10-plus kilometre treks wherever social distancing can be achieved. Registration for the event can be found at the Bobcats’
website with the entry fee being $10 for adults and $5 for children. All proceeds from the Distancing Family Fun Run will be d o na t e d t o t h i s ar e a ’s healthcare workers and the school division student-meal programs. In addition to supporting a worthwhile cause while gaining needed physical activity, registered participants will also be entered into a draw for prizes donated by the Bobcats and local businesses. “We’re going to have a bunch of gift cards, we’ll have a Bobcats signed jersey, we’re (giving away) a luxury box night and we’ll get some hats and stuff from sponsors,” said Dube, noting if any businesses would like to donate a prize they can contact him directly at nigel@ lloydminsterbobcats.com. “It’s promoting our community partners as well. Whether their doors are open right now or if they’ll reopen in the coming days, this is just an opportunity for them to showcase some of the stuff they have or it might just be some swag they can give away.”
Red Sox investigation is complete SPORTS EDITOR JAMIE HARKINS
Since I am about to write about outfield technology, Tonya Harding, the phantom punch and marathon
breaks, I must provide full disclosure. I have cheated on a test when given the opportunity, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never cheated at sports. That probably comes down to the lack of athletics that I’ve participated in over the
years along with the low levels I competed at. Once, in a Grade 9 geography class, a teacher forgot to roll up a map of Canada spread out in front of the chalkboard during a quiz. I succumbed to the temptation and furiously answer-
ing questions while shooting gazes at the professor, certain the tactic was a ruse. There, I’ve finally owned up. Dear readers, if one of you is the teacher in question, feel free to give me a zero. But, please don’t call my mom. Sports and its tendency
to bend the rules remains at a standstill, but at least the investigation into the Boston Red Sox is completed. They recently got a slap on the wrist for stealing signs during the 2018 regular season. CONTINUED ON PAGE 18

Red Sox investigation cont. File Photo FROM PAGE 17
The Astros did the same thing a year earlier. They used technology to steal signs and then relayed that information back to the
dugout where garbage bins and bats, or something to that effect, were used to alert hitters about what pitch to expect. Cheating in sports is not new. In fact, the same sign-stealing tactic was used by the 1951 New York Giants. Although, in ’51 the Giants used a telescope in centre field instead of the camera employed by the Astros. M a n y p e o p l e involved in almost every sport have tried to gain an outside-thebox advantage from time to time. Tonya Harding hired
a goon to assault rival Nancy Kerrigan before a figure skating competition, Sonny Liston fell unexpectedly for a stil l u nd e te rmine d reason to Muhammad Ali’s anchor punch in a heavyweight rematch and Rosie Ruiz won the 1980 Boston Marathon despite only running one mile of the event just to name a few. I’ve heard of a few cheats closer to home. Apparently, back in the day, the goalposts on the Estevan Bruins’ end of the Civic Arena were just a little bit wider than those on the other side of the ice. And, though I’m not
even sure if this can be called cheating due it being so wide out in the open, a company in a Saskatchewan town placed ads in several newspapers around the province, including the one I worked at during that time, looking to hire employees for its factory. No experience was necessary, but the applicants had to know how to play hockey and be willing to skate for the local senior team. I asked the coach of the Davidson Cyclones hockey club about the ads. He said they all do it, but just a bit more discretely.

Careers Employee training supports for agri-businesses MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF
..................................
In response to COVID19, the Alberta government has created a new Agriculture Training Support Program to help employers in the food supply chain provide necessary training to new Alberta employees. The program is intended to offset costs for COVID-19 safety and training, including the costs for personal protective equipment and to remove any barriers to get Albertans safely working. “To all Albertans interested in work, jobs in the agriculture sector are dynamic, employ a range of skillsets and help to support your communities,” said Marie-Claude Bibeau, federal Minister of Agriculture and AgriFood. “These investments,
provided by both levels of Government, will allow Albertans to train and transition into these rewarding jobs.” By providing up to $5 million in support to farmers, agri-businesses and food processors, the program helps offset the cost to train new employees safely in new agri-food roles. The program will support training for as many as 2,500 new jobs in Alberta. “Alberta’s agriculture and food sector rely on thousands of people working every day to help keep food on our tables,” said Devin Dreeshen, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry. “As we see recordhigh unemployment in Alberta due to a global economic slowdown and COVID-19, we need to ensure unemployed Albertans have the

opportunity for domestic jobs instead of hiring workers from overseas.” The maximum government contribution under the program is $2,000 per new employee, up to a maximum of $50,000 per employer. Grants will be administered on a first-come, first-served basis until available program funding is fully allocated. Roughly $1 million in funding will also be targeted for meat processors to provide support for new hires to undertake meat-cutting training. “Training will provide Albertans with the skills they need to find work and support the province’s agriculture employers,” said Jason Copping, Minister of Labour and Immigration. “This new program will connect Albertans
with new job opportunities so they can get back to work.” As part of the Canadian Agricultural Partnership Risk Management programs, this program will improve the agriculture and agri-food sector’s ability to anticipate, mitigate and prepare for risks that could have a major financial impact on the livestock and plant industries, or affect human health and safety. Alberta is partnering with the Government of Canada to provide employment support programs and services through the Labour and Immigration’s Workforce Development Agreement and the Canadian Agricultural Partnership. This program is administered by Alberta Agriculture and Forestry.
