Air tour landing in Lloyd GEOFF LEE

WRITER

.................................. The Lloydminster Municipal Airport tarmac will host one of the city’s biggest events of the year with the arrival of the 2022 Alberta Air Tour. Aircraft of all types will touch down the morning of June 4 for what can be described as a poker rally for pilots, with other stops that day in Cold Lake and St. Paul. There will be a pancake breakfast and all types of aircraft eye candy from Cessnas to jets to check out on an early Saturday morning. The event is led by Shane Getson, MLA for Lac Ste. Anne-Parkland, an aircraft owner and pilot who is bringing a variety of airshow, fighter and race plane pilots and aircraft to Lloydminster. “There’s about 40 on the list right now, so including the passengers, we’ll have 80 people,” said Getson. “We have a former CF-18 demo pilot—he’s the air boss for the Cold Lake Air show, so he’s

probably going to be bringing his rocket. I’ll be coming in an RV-8.” There will also be some speeches by dignitaries about what’s happening in the area’s economy before it’s wheels up at 10 a.m. for the next stop. Lloydminster Mayor Gerald Aalbers is hoping there will be some great static displays of additional military and RCMP aircraft. “We are hoping to have a water bomber from Sask Environment if they are not on call,” he said. “The Alberta Air Tour is going to be a great opportunity for people to interact and learn about the aerospace industry,” said Aalbers. Katlin Ducherer, the City’s economic development officer, welcomes the air tour as an advocate for aircraft and local airports. “We’re really excited to have them,” she said. Getson says people get excited about it because they still think aviation is cool and see airplanes as something

unique. “The real fun part is when you get a young person and you tell them this isn’t beyond their reach.” Getson said he was once a farm kid from Alberta that looked up at the sky one day and wanted to fly. “I saved up a few pennies here and there and got my pilot’s licence and own my own aircraft and I’ve never looked back,” he said. Getson and two other pilots started the tour in 2020 to celebrate the local aviation industry and promote the economic impact of regional airports during the pandemic. “We kind of figured we should do something for these different areas, and at the same time, promote their airports,” explained Getson. There will be a second air tour this summer on Aug. 6 to airports in Medicine Hat, Claresholm and Beiseker following three tours in 2021. “A lot of people, if they are not directly

Photo courtesy of EALANTA PHOTOGRAPHY involved in aviation, they don’t realize they have these assets,” said Getson. He notes airports like Lloyd’s are strategic corridors linking one community to another, citing direct flights on WestJet to and from Calgary as an example. “If you are coming internationally to Calgary, jump to Lloyd and you are right at the refinery,” said Getson. “Your mayor and council were so stoked and supportive of it. Having that access is absolutely paramount to sustain growth and sustainability.” Getson says a 2017

study for the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association indicated that just one plane can generate a local economic spinoff of about $130,000. “It’s actually a big deal,” he said. Getson flew into the Lloydminster airport for the first time on Dec. 5 and said it was phenomenal. “I was blown away by the airport and everything else,” he said. He also says the guys in the flight school at Border City Aviation were phenomenal, but they told him support for the airport runs hot and cold.

“We have to make sure we keep these things and grow them,” said Getson. He says the air tour is a really good opportunity for people to not only see and experience the airport but also to mingle and network and see what the valuable asset is. “All of a sudden you start getting these ideas like under the wing camping, an outdoor festival or a music festival. Maybe you can shut the strip down for one day and you have drag races,” he said. “ It’s j u st a na tu ra l place where events can take place.”

Paddle the pond in a kayak GEOFF LEE

WRITER

.................................. Float a rental boat on Bud Miller pond. A couple of Lloydminster entrepreneurs are launching a Kayak for Fun rental business on the pond from June 1 to Sept. 30 on a threeyear contract with the City of Lloydminster. The kayak rental business is the brainchild of Floyd Lopez and his paddle partner Noel Geollegue. Other than geese, they both find the lake to be empty, which inspired the rental idea. “There should be

something going on to make the city vibrant,” explained Lopez. Kayak for Fun will offer 30-minute rentals on their initial fleet of five single and three double kayaks and two pedal boats. Rates will be $15 for a single, $20 for a double and $25 for a pedal boat for a family of four including life jackets and paddles. “We will start from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. depending on the demand. We’ll see how it goes. We’re open seven days a week,” said Lopez.

They will have a trial dry run on Saturday until Tuesday to test their online payment system. Kayak for Fun planned to set up a boat launch Thursday near the splash park with an on-site C-Can to store the equipment overnight. Lopez owns a separate business in town and says kayaking is his son’s favourite pastime, while he hopes to provide a new recreation outlet for residents and visitors. Geollegue is a heavy equipment mechanic.

Bridging mental health support gaps on border

Taylor Weaver Meridian Source TAYLOR WEAVER

EDITOR

..................................

With the need for mental health support services higher than ever, Catholic Social Services (CSS), in collaboration with the Lloydminster Region Health Foundation (LRHF) and Lloydminster United Way, has officially launched Border Bridge Counselling. The initiative is funded through Project Sunrise and the twoyear $71,000 investment allows anyone in our community who requires immediate mental health support easy access to counselling services. The eligibility criteria for this service is for anyone who has a scheduled appointment with community counselling that is a greater wait time than two weeks. “Catholic Social Services is excited to provide Border Bridge Counselling, to serve and support our community in a new and innovative way. Bridges are built to provide passage over obstacles that are otherwise difficult to cross,” said Shauna Godin, program manager, Catholic Social Services. “Border Bridge’s pillars are CSS, Lloydminster Region Health Foundation, Lloydminster United Way, community donors, Saskatchewan Health Authority, and all collaborators on the project. The pillars are the strong bridge foundation for all in need of a pathway through dif-

ficult times, and where fees will not be a barrier to getting to the other side.” A Lloydminster social needs assessment from 2017 showed that 1 in 3 people struggle with or are affected by mental health issues (compared to 1 in 4 across the entire country). This statistic only worsened through the pandemic. As a result of these statistics, the LRHF

and CSS created access to subsidized counse lling se r vice s, and through this project, hope to provide an estimated 400-450 additional counselling sessions per year. “The Lloydminster Region Health Foundation is thrilled to be able to support this innovative mental health initiative in collaboration with the Lloydminster United way and Catholic

Social Services,” said LRHF CEO, Stephanie Munro. “Through the generous support of our donors, we are able to provide funding to help ‘bridge the gap’ and decrease wait times for individuals requiring access to counselling services. This service is a vital piece in helping to provide mental health services to those in crisis, in a timely manner. Catholic Social Services will continue to work collaboratively with SHA to provide essential and seamless delivery of counselling services. The impact this new initiative will have in our community is truly priceless.” The United Way’s Tricia Hunter added, “The United Way board is ecstatic to be able to support this innovative mental health initiative in collaboration with the LRHF. The opportunities and access this

bridging program will create for our community are going to make

a significant impact on the residents our region serves.”

Good deeds at Father Gorman

EDITOR

..................................

Students at Father Gorman Community School are doing their part to ensure those experiencing mental health concerns know they are loved. With the idea of breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and ensuring people feel loved in mind, students in Juanita Schwebius’ Grade 7 class put together mental health care kits to be kept at the hospital for people struggling with

a mental health crisis. The care kits include items such as books for colouring and reading, crayons, snacks, water, lotion, as well as messages of positive affirmation. “Some people struggle with mental health and it’s important to make sure they know they’re loved and cared for by others,” said David Mercier, a student in Schwebius’ class. “In school I’ve learned it’s important to care for the peo-

ple around you. It feels good to help because it makes me feel happy that other people get to know they’re loved.” Another one of Schwebius’ students, Gabriel Cantada, noted putting an end to the stigma surrounding mental health all starts with a simple conversation. “With proper communication there is a big light at the end of the tunnel that’s able to help you,” he said.

Border tips health services scales

Geoff Lee Meridian Source

Andy Ridge, assistant health minister for the Alberta government, came to learn about bi-provincial health priorities in the city during a health services drop-in event at the Legacy Centre last week. GEOFF LEE

WRITER

.................................. The bureaucratic health care battle on the border took the spotlight in Lloydminster during the restart of the Battle of Alberta on the ice. Bi-provincial health service challenges were one of the focuses of a community dropin meeting at the Legacy Centre during the first NHL playoff game between the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers. Paul Richer, chair of the Lloydminster and District Health Advisory Council that organized the event, says there needs to be a full-time ombudsman to clear biprovincial bottlenecks. “What happens with two provinces is, there are different election periods; there are different fiscal policies that happen at different times,” said Richer. “There needs to be a full-time ombudsman because we’re just volunteers. You really have to keep on it at all times to keep both sides informed.” About 150 people turned up to review the advisory council’s list of 15 priorities including Andy Ridge, a new assistant deputy minister of health for Alberta who touched on the jurisdictional challenges. “What’s unique here is the geography,” said Ridge, who noted priority issues need to have an equitable footing within the 150-kilometre radius of the Lloydminster health region. Ridge also took over

the role of Alberta cochair of the Bi-Provincial Health Services Committee. “Part of my learning is to confirm or validate there is fair representation (from Alberta) whether it’s capital planning or it’s budget process where there may be gaps, and what we can do more of in the Lloydminster area for the people that live here,” said Ridge. The ADM came to Lloyd the same day as

Alberta premier Jason Kenney announced he was stepping down as leader of the United Conservative party, putting the revolving door of new health personalities and policy directions in the limelight. “One of the things we heard from the mayor of Lloydminster is having a greater transition and supporting continuity when people change,” said Ridge. “What I can offer is to assure when I do move on that I’ve made a difference in helping with that transition.” He says that means assuring a successor knows how decisions are made, where priorities are in the queue and where they may be getting stuck on border challenges. Richer says having transitional information to pass along to the next new minister is key. “These ministers keep changing, so just as

you’re at the precipice of thinking you’re going to accomplish something, it disappears, so it’s vital,” said Richer. L l o y d m i n s t e r r e s ident Larry Sauer came to the meeting to see what’s been done to get “the provincial people” together to better health facilities and services in the area. “It seems that we’ve kind of been forgotten about on both sides of the border in some areas,” he said. Progress is being made, however, including EMS ambulance service that Richer highlighted, with WPD Ambulance Service covering Saskatchewan and Prairie EMS in Alberta. “It’s still evolving due to the arbitration process with WPD and Saskatchewan, but I would suggest to you tonight we probably have the best service we’ve ever had,” he told the audience.

“We have two contractors who have agreements to go on either side of the province wherever there may be EMS shortages and the 911 call centres are fully aware.” Richer says it’s also agreed between Alberta and Saskatchewan health authorities the Alberta EMS protocols are the highest standards when dealing with patients in the field and this ability to perform more duties is allowed throughout this region. The service benefits Saskatchewan residents within reach of the EMS hub. Richer also notes Lloydminster is one of the only jurisdictions of its size that does not have a stabilization bed for mental health patients and he wants to close that service gap. “We need your help to make it clear to everyone in administration and government to say we want to be equal,” said Richer to the public.

Paul Richer, left, chair of the Lloydminster & District Health Advisory Council, chats with fellow member Nancy Schneider, the mayor of St. Walburg.

Colleen Young read a statement from Minister for Mental Health, Addictions, Seniors and Rural and Remote Health, Everett Hindley. She then told the audience support for a hospice on the border is on the books. “It’s being reconsidered as we’re looking at palliative care services across the province. That could mean separate hospices or government setting up hospices in hospitals,’’ said Young. She added she has been pushing the minister of health to add a new operating room at the Lloydminster Hospital.

“It’s something they are considering, too,” said Young. Nancy Schneider, mayor of St. Walburg and a member of Richer’s team, considers the Lloyd hospital as her community’s rural hospital and wants to see it expanded too. “We are hoping that people pay attention and they will advocate for this regional hospital and this advisory council,” she said. Richer says the next step for the council is to go through some of the comments made at the meeting to identify any new issues or service gaps.

Freaky Friday kicks off Friday GEOFF LEE

WRITER

.................................. If you’re a teenage girl, switching bodies with your mom on a Friday might be a little bit freaky. That’s the concept storyline of the Freaky Friday musical that drama students at Lloydminster Comprehensive High School will present at the Vic Juba Community Theatre Friday night at 7 p.m. There will also be a show on Saturday at 7 p.m. and a Sunday matinee at 1 p.m. with tickets selling for $25. Viewers will see the mother, Katherine Blake, played by Carly Hawryluk, swap bodies for one freaky Friday with her daughter Ellie, played by Helaina MacDonald. The overworked mother and her daughter do not get along at first. “They have to live a day in each other’s shoes to discover what the other struggles with,” said drama teacher and director Simon Stang. Thematically, it’s all about realizing the immeasurable love and respect a bond between a mother and daughter can bring. “It’s a comedy with lots of funny parts, but it does have some senti-

mentality to it as well, especially in the music. The music is quite touching, too,” added Stang. Stang says there is a cast of 36, but the two female leads are pretty heavy in it. “They have a lot of lines and songs. They’ve had their work cut out for them, for sure,” said Stang during one of the final rehearsals at LCHS. Freaky Friday is based on the 1972 novel by Mary Rodgers and Disney films that MacDonald and Hawryluk have watched to get into character. CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

“I noticed that the daughter was ‘angsty’ so I’m trying to tune into my inner angst,” said MacDonald.

“

I’ve never been in the position of my mother, thankfully. I think that would be a little hard. You have to tune in to your own self as a mother I guess.

“It’s really cool because you have to start off as your original character, then you have to completely change yourself into a whole different person.” In real life, MacDonald can’t fathom ever being her mother. “I’ve never been in the position of my mother, thankfully. I

think that would be a little hard,” she said with a laugh. “You have to tune in to your own self as a mother I guess.” She hasn’t asked her mother for any tips, but wh e n th e su gge sti o n popped up she said, “that’s a good idea. I should.” This year, the actors get to pick their own costumes, so MacDonald will be on stage wearing a baggy sweater and jeans that her character Ellie wore in the Disney flick. Hawryluk says having watched the film and the live musical makes it easy to play the mother Katherine. “It helps you get the feel of how I should act and how I should be in the musical,” she said. As for her getup, Hawryluk will be donning dress pants, a shirt and a blazer, like the working mom her character parent is. The teen says unlike

her rocky relationship with her theatrical mom, she and her real mom get along just great. “Me and my mom are best friends. We like a lot of the same things. She’s fun and she’s funky, she’s like me. I kind of step into that role as well,” said Hawryluk. In the run-up to Friday’s show, she’s trying to perfect her role and all the parts she’s in. “I have lines in every single scene. I have a song that I have to sing solo and I’m in other songs in the background’ she said. “It’s definitely a lot and it gets overwhelming at times, but I just compact it all down and make it step by step.” Stang says the cast started practising in February in preparation for a couple of sneak preview matinees for middle school children this week before the first public performance on Friday.

Students putting mental health first FROM PAGE 4

This light acts as a way of showing someone they are going to be OK and they are loved by the people around them. “I know the (care packages) are going to be able to help people when they’re struggling because I know many people in this world that are struggling with their lives, and it’s important to take care of them.” Items in the care kits were purchased thanks to support from the local community including businesses such as Superstore, and Bath and Body Works, and the kit bags were handsewn by Father Gorman educational assistant, Samantha Pinske. “Some of my favourite (items in the kits) would have to be the products from different companies or stores that are in Lloydminster. The companies were generous to donate to us.” For the project, students teamed up with the Lloydminster Region Health Foundation’s mental health initiative Project Sunrise, to ensure the kits went to good use. “I was very excited in March when Mrs. Schwebius reached out

to me to say her students wanted to do a project on mental illness, and they were thinking about creating some kind of kit to support people who might be experiencing a mental health concern,” said Lorelee Marin, chair of Project Sunrise’s Prevention and Promotion committee. “We talked a lot about where that concern might be useful in the community and we arrived at the hospital emergency room. Often people are sitting there for quite a long period of time, and when you’re experiencing a mental health concern, that’s a real challenge to be sitting in a confined space.” Marin also noted projects such as this are exactly what are needed to help bring an end to the stigma surrounding mental health and to keep the conversation going. “If we had all the Grade 7 classes in Lloyd or individuals saying ‘I’m going to do something to make a positive difference and support people who have a mental health concern,’ wow; our future would be really bright.”

I’m pretty sure the last time I attempted to take an afternoon nap was back in 2012 while I was working as a photographer on a cruise ship, but let me tell you, I could have really used one (or several) this week! If you tuned in last week, you’re aware I spent last Monday down at CFB Wainwright to get a story about Exercise Maple Resolve, which has now come to an end (and the story will be running next week). The bonus of this trip to the base was the fact I had the chance to see my brother for the first time in over two years. After Monday’s trip to Wainwright, I drove to Canmore on Thursday and returned to Lloyd on Sunday evening. My dad has lived in Canmore for six years now and I try to see him a couple of times a year ... but even with the relatively short drive, I’ll be the first to say I don’t visit often enough!

My dad’s played the bagpipes for as long as I can remember and this was the first opportunity I had to join him for a wedding, and it’s an experience I won’t

For the longest time, I thought my personal life was a bit of a bore, but these last few weeks have proven otherwise. Post-COVID life in Lloyd is shaping up to be an exciting one! One more thing. If you’re looking for something to do tonight, come to the 4th Meridian

Leeway from Lloyd: Lloyd first stop in air tour STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE

Local bird watchers will get more than they bargained for in early June. There will be dozens of birds in the sky with motorized wings heading to the Lloydminster Municipal Airport on the morning of June 4, the first stop in this year’s Alberta Air Tour. There will be all sorts of planes from Cessnas to jets with up to 40 different aircraft for the public to look at, along with an opportunity to talk with the pilots, and take pictures. It’s an event made for kids with questions and big dreams about flying. The air tour is the

brainchild of three pilots, including Lac St.Anne-Parkland MLA Shane Getson, who is also a pilot and aircraft owner himself. It is aimed at promoting awareness of the importance of how regional airports can play a role in Alberta’s economic recovery. That’s been recognized in Saskatchewan, too. That province announced on May 19 it will invest $935,000 through the Community Airport Partnership (CAP) program, supporting 11 airports. When combined with local matching dollars, this represents almost a $2 million investment in airport infrastructure. The total direct GDP generated by general aviation in Canada is estimated to be $2.2

billion, while economic output is estimated to be $5.4 billion, according to a 2017 study prepared for the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association. The air tour is also meant to encourage new people to learn how to fly, celebrate the aviation industry and recognize how robust the industry is in the province. It will also give pilots the opportunity to make Lloydminster a destination for an overnight or extended if the

The city hopes to add some aerial eye candy with possible participation by the Royal Canadian Air Force and a water bomber from Saskatchewan Environmental along with some other static displays. The event could help the city to see the airport as a possible venue for other events.

The air tour is likened to a poker run with other stops in Cold Lake and St. Paul.

There will be a pancake breakfast before it’s wheels up starting around 10 a.m.

Effective April 1, new PST exemptions were made through regulation changes. These exemptions include: - prefabricated wind breaker panels for use in the protection and

handling of livestock - insulators for electrified livestock fences - certain farm equipment attached to a registered vehicle - on-farm dugout excavation and for trenching (in specific circumstances related to farming) Additionally, it was clarified that the following products are also exempt from PST and are retroactive to April 1, 2016: - water storage tanks used in spraying or irri-

gating crops - sto r a ge ta nk s f o r w e e d c o n t r o l c h e m icals, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, liquid fertilizer - adjuvants that improve their efficacy or application - portable seed cleaners used on-farm by farmers in preparing their crop for storage or market (farmers in the business of seed cleaning must pay PST on their seed cleaning equipment) - farm tractors

“Plugged-in colour.” It is an expression that Mar k mad e u p while shooting TV, a few years ago. Everyone that loves to create a flower garden or plant up containers with colour is looking for colour that, well, pops! Let us introduce you to our favourite flowering plants that are guaranteed to attract attention: Annuals Portulaca. Plant in full, blazing sun and enjoy the knock-dead primary colours of this low-growing ground creeper or use in containers to hang over the edge. Brilliant red, orange, yellow and pure white. Portulaca’s near relative Ice Plant features flowers that open in the sunshine and close

late in the day when the sun is going down. A sun worshipper if there ever was one. Tolerant to dry conditions. Gerbera. Pure advertising. It is like someone wired them underground, in the root zone, with high voltage for colour. A member of the dandelion family, this flowering annual also blooms when the sun is shining on it and closes when the sun goes in. It wilts when roots are not moist but rehydrates like a sailor. Brilliant red, yellow, and orange. Grows to 15 or 20 cm height. Calendula. Once known as pot marigold, this hardy annual flowering plant produces hordes of bright orange flowers that are suitable for cutting. While it is technically an annual, Mark sows his calendula directly in the ground this time of year as the

plants are marginally frost-hardy. Old fashioned, easy to grow from seed. Matures to about 30 cm high. Plant in full sun. Blooms are edible. Zinnias. Perfect for the frugal gardener, as zinnias grow best when sown directly in the soil from seed. Perfect also for the cut flower gardener, producing a riot of colourful blooms born on short stems, 20 cm high “pom-poms.” Prefers full sun. For year-after-year colour, try these perennials for eye-popping colour: Gaura. A long-flowering perennial that will thrive in garden for three or four years then disappear. We have no idea where they go, but gaura is not exactly a true perennial the way daylilies and peonies are. CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Beautify that backyard this year tion-seeking colours. Phlox. Creeping phlox blooms this time of year and is popular as a rock garden plant that creeps over rocks and attracts attention to itself. Pink, white and violet. Summer phlox grows to about 75 cm high and flowers early to late summer. This plant deserves a shout-out from us as Photo courtesy of Mark Cullen

But they are worth having for their pure white or pink spike-like flowers. Line your walkway up to your front door with gaura and the next Amazon delivery person may just knock on your door and ask what they are. Butterfly attractant. Geum. Not as popular as it deserves to be, geum is a short, 20 cm high accent plant that

flowers from late spring to early summer. Tolerant of dry conditions, look for bright orange, pink or yellow flowering plants. Cardinal Flower (lobelia) Bright red, blooms in late summer through fall and is worth the wait. Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds and people who love bright primary colour. Perfect for your “Year of the Garden”, as we

are all encouraged to plant plenty of red flowers this year during The Year of the Garden in Canada. All the better, a native plant in southeastern Canada. Columbine. Origami mixed. An eyepopper if there ever was one. Not a reliable perennial, but columbine will regrow in your garden for at least a couple of years. Matures to 40 cm height. Mixed, atten-

it is always shouting in technicolour. There are many other brightly coloured plants that lend themselves to the attentionseeking garden including marigolds, peonies, daylilies and scabiosa. Take your time looking over the selection of Wow flowering plants early this season at your favourite garden retailer.

Celebrate the Year of the Garden W

hile each spring we celebrate the return of gardening season, this year’s celebrations may be extra special. The Canadian Garden Council and Communities in Bloom are inviting individual gardeners and municipalities to celebrate gardening in Canada. Whether you are a long-time gardener, or just took up the pastime during the pandemic, the Year of the Garden is a great opportunity to grow your interest and your skills. Gardens and gardening come with a wide array of benefits. Creating more urban green spaces has longterm sustainability benefits. For example, plants and gardens produce

File Photo oxygen, sequester carbon, and mitigate the heat island effect in urban areas. Gardening also has individual health benefits for gardeners and broader societal health benefits by creating spaces for us all to enjoy active living. Gardens and gardening also create important economic benefits, including attracting residents and visitors to communities across the country. But growing healthy lawns, flowers and vegetables can be challenging. Just as farmers

must overcome threats from insects, weeds and diseases to grow safe and healthy food for Canadians, gardeners face similar challenges. Careful planning and management are important to success. When pest challenges threaten your lawn or garden, there are pest control tools available that are safe, effective and specifically designed for homeowners’ use. Let’s all celebrate The Year of the Garden and the many benefits that gardens bring to our communities.

College Park hosts pedal fest

Geoff Lee Meridian Source

Kolby Sprague, left and Gaven Sutton, Grade 6 students from Winston Churchill School took part in a Pedal for a Purpose virtual bike ride at College Park School on Thursday. The goal was to ride 1,042 km to match what the Bike for Breakfast YLL fundraiser did last year when they rode to Tuffnell, Sask. and back. GEOFF LEE

WRITER

.................................. A mass Pedal for a Purpose e-bike ride at College Park had the look of a cycling combine, but fun and fitness were the main goals. A secondary objective of the Lloydminster Public School Division (LPSD) event was to tip a hat to the inaugural Bike for Breakfast YLL ride that raised $ 2 7 0 , 0 0 0 for s c h o ol breakfast programs.

“We’re trying to reach our goal of 1,060 kilometres in six hours,” said LPSD education technology consultant, Shelley Merth, who headed up the event. “That’s last year’s Bike for Breakfast ride to Tuffnell Sask, so we thought let’s try to ride that today,” she explained. Merth says the event is all about fun and community and trying to get kids from all schools to come

together. “While we are in support of Bike for Breakfast, it’s not specifically tied to that,” added Merth. “Bike for Breakfast people were invited to ride, but we just want kids on bikes. This is a good chance to promote bike riding.” All of the LPSD bikes are connected to the Zwift tracking app wit h st u d ent s r id ing the same virtual course together in shifts. Quinn Garrison, a Grade 5 student from Rendell Park School, took a breather to talk about her ride. “It’s really fun; it’s a good workout,” she said, en route to her 20-kilometre goal. Grade 7 teacher, Cornelius Krahn, said they aim for a 10-15 minute ride per student on the e-bikes. “It’s a great way to integrate technology as well as fitness,” he said. The event was supported by Grindin Gears Bikes n’ Boards

owner Jim Taylor. “I’m just here supporting LPSD with the Pedal for a Purpose, so I brought a bike down today and just helping more people get on a bike,” said Taylor. “It’s pretty phenomenal. It’s awesome that Shelley Merth is putting it together and all the schools supporting it; it’s awesome seeing everybody doing this.” Merth says Taylor is a great supporter who has helped LPSD get bikes into the schools as well. “He’s our technical consultant for all things bike,” she said. Taylor is also the chair of this year’s Bike for Breakfast ride and brought some members along to help the Pedal for a Purpose team reach its distance goal.

Krahn also called what was going on a “loco-motion” event. “All the schools have sent riders over to College Park and we are hopping on bikes and just having fun together,” he said.

“Fun” was the only word Leslie Parks, a Grade 4 student at Winston Churchill, had time to describe his time in the saddle. He was laser-focused on cycling 3 km during his turn.

Careers

What trumps? Logic or emotion? MIDWEST MINUTE VERN McCLELLAND

An essential skill of

any Realtor who wants to stay in business for any length of time is the ability to analyze property value and trends for their clients.

Whether supporting a buyer or seller, I believe we have a duty to provide a perspective based on logic and a detailed assessment. Not to sim-

ply pick a number out of the air. With most properties, it is a matter of determining key attributes of both the parcel being

focused on and those which are most like it. For example, with houses, size of the lot, square footage of the structures, chronological age, effective age (those aspects which have been updated), condition and finishing, location within the community, etc. Trend lines are also important. Is the market for that type of property and neighbourhood, stable, strengthening or deteriorating? In the last few years, I have taken to fully disclose comparable sales and current active properties in my listing interviews in an attempt to help the seller see the facts for themselves. The same details are available to a buyer,

and their Realtor, not to mention the appraiser who will be sent in by the lender to determine if the mortgage risk is acceptable. So, it is always frustrating to hear a seller state their property is one of a kind or unique to their market, when in fact it isn’t, or they need a certain amount of money out of it to support the purchase of replacement housing in the community they are moving to. Frankly, the buyers don’t care what the seller has planned, and neither does their bank. They want what is fair and good for their family, simply dismissing your client’s property when it may have fulfilled their needs. CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Celebrating disability service professionals MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

..................................

The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed May 23 to 27, 2022 as Disability Service Professionals Week to recognize and celebrate the important work that people across the province do to support people with disabilities. Building strong, inclusive communities for people with disabilities remains a focus for our province, which can’t be done without the work of the disability service sector. In Saskatchewan’s 2022-23 Budget, $256.8 million was invested into disability sector third-party service providers, including $4.9 million in new funding, affirming this commitment. “Disability service professionals provide essential services and have the direct connection with clients,” said Social Services Minister

MINUTE FROM PAGE 18

And while I defend the right of informed owners to determine an asking price and the eventual sale price, there is more than an equal chance the frustration they will experience in between with an unnecessarily long sale cycle of an overpriced property, or worse yet, no public interest at all, will likely be blamed on me as their agent, a convenient target. It’s an “I told you so” moment that can’t be expressed as there is no joy in being right in this situation. I am no psychologist, but behind the scenes, I believe the seller’s decision process often is skewed by emotional turmoil. They won’t admit it, but the monetary investment in the property is outweighed by feelings of loss or uncertainty about what the next

File Photo Lori Carr. “We value our comm un ity p artn ersh ip s with disability service providers as they consistently work with professionalism to ensure people are safe and supported with the services they need.” SARC is a provincial association of over 100 member organizations, with more than 80 providing core, daily services to thousands of people with disabilities across Saskatchewan. SARC Members are community-based organizations that operate residential and day program services for the

people they support. Each community-based organization is independent with its own board of directors. “Disability Service Professionals Week is an important week for the disability service sector where SARC Members and their staff come together to celebrate the many achievements and strengths of the sector,” said SARC Executive Director Amy McNeil. “The sector is made up of thousands of professionals who provide quality care and support people to achieve their goals.”

chapter in life holds. Moving from one’s castle can be scary, and yes, sometimes, it is a strident need to win or assert their will, but most of the time it simply comes down to hesitation in the face of the future. It’s a real challenge for all involved; you can only hope time will

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