Lloydminster Hospital updates public on status TAYLOR WEAVER

EDITOR

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

With a great deal of confusion involving the status inside the Lloydminster Hospital in relation to COVID-19, Dr. Kevin Govender, Site Lead, laid out all the cards on Wednesday morning to help alleviate concerns shared by residents.

“There is a lot of confusion, and I think a lot

of it is because of interpretation as well as unclear messages being shared,” said Govender.

“The hospital is safe.

I’ve said it before, but I think it’s probably one of the safest places in Lloydminster because everybody is masked, everybody is cleaned, whereas if you go to any other public place in Lloydminster there’s very little, if any

screening and nobody is wearing masks.

“If you need medical help and are a Lloydminster and area resident, you should be able to feel safe seeking medical help at the hospital. What we have to realize is, any and all of the respiratory patients are kept in a separate area, so any respiratory patient or patient suspicious

of having COVID-19, these patients are kept in a separate area and a separate waiting area at the hospital.”

The Lloydminster Hospital is currently under “outbreak” status, but Govender reiterated the fact that it does not mean the hospital is full of Coronavirus patients.

Last Tuesday, the Saskatchewan Health

Authority stated it began to resume some health services in varying parts of the province as a cautious first step toward reopening the health care system, something Govender said has been going well in Lloydminster.

“I think the process is going well regarding returning to surgical services. We are behind the rest of the

province, but any hospital that has been on the same ‘break’ as us will be behind the rest of the province in terms of returning to surgic al se r v i c e , and th a t is because of the outbreak. We have to make sure the outbreak is declared over before we can resume surgical services.

Hospital slowly resuming services FROM PAGE 1

“Planning needs to be complete, and we are hoping the outbreak status is lifted on May 30.

This is contingent on the recommendation of Saskatchewan’s chief medical health officer, Dr. Saqib Shahab,” said Govender.

Regarding the confusion felt by many Border City residents as to if the hospital is safe to enter, Govender stated there has been a lot of miscommunication and misunderstanding about what self-isolating and self-monitoring mean.

“I think that the words sound very similar and often get misconstrued,” he said.

“If you are asymptomatic and have no respiratory symptoms, there’s no need to selfisolate. There’s been some confusion regarding self-isolation and self-monitoring. The Lloydminster Hospital is in an outbreak situation but that does not mean there’s Coronavi-

rus all over the hospital.

It means that one floor is under outbreak precautions, and that is the reason we don’t admit anybody to that floor.

That said, we haven’t had any new cases in almost three weeks.”

As per Govender’s advice, everybody needs to self-monitor in these times.

All hospital staff are currently self-monitoring and have their temperature checked when they come into work in the morning. They also fill out an online questionnaire every morning, a requirement before coming in to work.

“When you come to the Lloydminster Hospital for an ankle fracture, for example, we do what we call a screening at the front doors where we ask you a series of questions to establish if you have any respiratory illness. If you have a respiratory illness, then there’s potential you will have a COVID-19 swab done. Then, because of

the suspicion of Coronavirus, you will be asked to self isolate for two weeks,” he said.

“If you screen negative, it means you aren’t suspicious of having COVID-19, then there is no need for you to self isolate, but I think it’s important for you to be able to self-monitor.

Self-monitoring would mean you check to see if you develop a cough, fever, sore throat and generalized body aches in the 14 days after exposure.”

Although it’s not a provincially-mandated requirement, Govender recommends everyone wear a mask in public.

“I think it’s important that everybody wears masks in public, and evidence has shown that wearing masks significantly reduces the risk of transmission. You wear a mask because you could be an asymptomatic carrier of Coronavirus and you reduce the risk of transmission if you are wearing a mask.”

Helping you look your best Dave Schneider and family celebrate 30-year Cliff Rose For Clothes ownership

Taylor Weaver Meridian Source

Dave Schneider has owned the Border City’s Cliff Rose For Clothes’ for 30 of its 34 years in business, and he and one of his daughters, April, were all smiles on Tuesday afternoon as they prepared for the store’s anniversary sale, which started today and runs until Saturday.

TAYLOR WEAVER

EDITOR

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

When a man wants to look his best in the Border City, his first call should be to Dave Schneider at Cliff Rose for Clothes.

Schneider, with the continued support of his family, has been the owner of Cliff Rose for 30 of the businesses’ 34 years of service, a milestone that’s currently being celebrated by giving back to the community in the form of a sale.

“We’re doing a 30 per cent off sale from Thursday until Saturday in our main store, and we’re going to do half off at our liquidation store that’s already 50-75 per cent off, and that’s happening Thursday through Sunday as well,” said Schneider.

When it comes to being a business owner in a community he’s

proud to call home, Schneider explained it’s all about the relationships he’s built, past, present and future.

“It’s been phenomenal,” he said. “First off, I had a great teacher in Cliff. My kids treat him like a grandpa, he’s one of our family now, and a lot of our customers, when I started, are now my friends.

“We have very loyal customers, and we’ve seen generations of families come through here. One customer, who was a kid when he first came in, is now a dad and brings his kids in. I’m on my third generation coming through the door since I’ve been here.”

What’s Schneider’s biggest takeaway from his 30 years of experience as a business owner and making sure you look your best?

Friendship.

“The friendships we’ve made here, and I know it sounds corny, but we’ve got a lot of good friends that come to us now and it’s all about community,” he said. “This is a family-run business and I have daughters and a sister-in-law working here, and I still love coming to work.

“Working alongside family has been great.

We joke with each other a lot, but it’s nice to come in and have them here,” he said.

“My wife comes here to help out, and we have a little one we adopted who comes here and thinks she’s working here too, and she greets customers. It’s fun that way.”

A common misconception Schneider has heard is the fact prices in the city are lower than what’s listed locally, something he says is simply not true.

“We have basically anything you’d want to get from the city, and we have it here and our prices are more reasonable,” he said. “We have shirts at $155 that are sold for $225 anywhere in the city, for the exact same shirt.

For u s being a f ami ly-owned and operated business, customer service is number one for us, and we have a tailor system in place where, most days if you need something done that same day, we can do it for you.”

Schneider also noted the business isn’t going anywhere as he’s not quite ready to hang it up and retire.

“We always say God has a plan for everyone, and we just have to wait out the plan and see how it goes, but we’re planning on being here for a long time. We’re not going anywhere.”

Lea Park Rodeo on hold, truck giveaway still a go TAYLOR WEAVER

EDITOR

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

It wasn’t a deci-

sion they wanted to have to make, but due to restrictions imple-

mented related to COVID-1 9, t he 2020 installment of the Lea

Park Rodeo has been postponed until 2021.

“The government basically made the decision for us,” said Lea Park Rodeo president Lloyd Gray. “Everything shut down and there can’t be any crowds, so there was no point in doing a bunch of work until the end of May and into June for it to be cancelled anyways.

“We’re certainly not alone. The whole world’s in the same situation. It’s unfortunate we had to do it, but what can you do?”

This summer’s event, which was scheduled for June 5-7, would have marked 66 years for the rodeo, a celebration that will carry over into 2021.

“We can’t thank our loyal fans and our loyal, loyal sponsors enough,” said Gray.

“We have sponsors who have been with us for years and years, through good times and bad times, and I can’t say enough to them.

File Photo And of course, thank you to all of our fans.

Without those two entities, you don’t have a rodeo.”

The rodeo’s annual truck raffle, however, which features a 2019 Ram 3/4 Ton Diesel, is still a go, something Gray and the organizing committee are excited about.

“We are still going ahead with the truck draw and we’re trying to sell as many tickets as we can to try to give ourselves some operational funding, because of course, we still have

expenses, insurance, power, etcetera, etcetera,” he said. “We’re still going ahead with the draw, and we’ve postponed the draw date to July 22.”

Anyone interested in purchasing tickets for the truck draw or for the 10 - $500 cash prizes can do so by contacting any member of the rodeo committee, or Gray directly, at 780871-1210.

“We’re happy we can still do the truck draw, and we’re going to be back, bigger and better next year,” he said.

The show must go on Lloyd Exh Fair goes virtual for 2020 TAYLOR WEAVER

EDITOR

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

At the Lloydminster Agricultural Exhibition Association, the show will go on.

With the Saskatchewan Health Authority’s current social distancing and gathering restrictions in place, this summer was shaping up to be much quieter than usual, but the Lloyd Exh has stepped into the future and is happy to announce Virtual Fair.

“There are going to be competitions people can enter, virtually,” said Lloyd Exh marketing manager, Jackie Tomayer. “One of our biggest agricultural events at the fair is ‘Costume Class,’ where kids come in and they dress up their sheep.

Now, we’re doing it virtually, so kids can dress

up their sheep at home and share pictures and videos on (our) social media, and we’ll virtually roll that out.”

The virtual fair will also feature the annual “Make It” competition for artists, bakers and artisan creators.

“We’re also doing a reverse parade, and we’re really excited about this,” said Tomayer. “We’re going

to let companies, businesses and individuals, who would normally be taking part in the annual parade, set up stationary floats on the grounds and people will ‘float’ on through from their vehicles and look at the displays.

“We’re going to open up the fair with a parade on Wednesday, just like we normally would, but you can come at any time during the day, so there is no set time to get everyone in one locat ion at t he same time.”

The reverse parade will have one entrance and one exit to ensure a safe flow of traffic, and anyone interested in participating and having their float on sight is asked to contact the Exh. CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

A reflection of words WHISPERS OF THE PAST SANDRA L. BROWN

In a past column, I compared newspapers through the years to time capsules. Both provide a historical record.

One main difference, of course, is newspapers consist of mostly words rather than objects of sentiment. Providing a glimpse of what life was like during that particular time; news, social events, personal opinions, advertisements and what’s happening in surrounding towns are recorded.

By today’s standards, a lot of what was written decades ago would currently be deemed unsafe, politically incorrect or offensive.

It’s easy to determine the “hot topic” of the day through reading Letters to the Editor, off-handed comments or passive-aggressive statements printed between the cover and back page.

As kids growing up in Lloydminster, we didn’t think twice about walking across town or playing outside after dark.

We hung out at Sandy’s News, the public library, Hobby Shop or at the Ranchero.

Keys were left in vehicles, house doors left unlocked or keys left in a “safe” spot. Store purchases were put into paper bags until stores started asking, “Will that be paper or plastic today, (insert customer name)?”

Wow, we actually had a choice of what we wanted our purchases to go into! Eventually, paper was out and plastic was in. By the way, most staff knew the names of their customers, f amily members and preferences.

Stores were of course closed on Sundays, with the exception of one drug store and gas station. Half-day Wednesdays were a thing as businesses closed for the afternoon.

FROM PAGE 5

A call for sponsorship went out on May 26 to any businesses interested in participating, and as Tomayer explained, the reception has been nothing short of positive.

“It has been exciting for the people we’ve talked to,” she said.

“The other thing we’re planning to do is roll out some fair food that week. The fair food items are yet to be determined as we plan this, but we’re going to set up a structure so people can drive up and get hamburgers, hot dogs, popcorn, maybe cotton candy and lemonade,” she said.

“We’re hoping to offer a lot of

Late-night shopping on Thursdays began initially with downtown businesses. Some doctors still made house calls.

Mondays were reserved for laundry day with clothes billowing gently on an outdoor clothesline drying from the sun’s warmth.

Often mentioned in writing were the names of folks visiting whom were on holidays, where and for how long. It wasn’t an invitation to let everyone know their house was empty, but rather folks just being friendly and looking out for one another.

Society and changing values have involvement in altering what was once safe, as unsafe; what was once politically correct is no longer the case. Names of sports teams represented the community they originated in.

Teams acted as ambassadors for their community. Nowadays, some of these names are

the fair food people are used to being able to get. There’s a lot of moving parts right now.”

Entries for the competitions opens on June 1 and the best way to get involved, enter, and to stay up to date is via Lloyd Exh’s social media and their website.

“We don’t know of any other fairs doing this, so we’re trying to be on the forefront for Lloydminster,” said Tomayer.

“We really changed our thinking a couple weeks ago to stop thinking about what we can’t do, and start thinking about what we do, and how we can do it differently.

“We love being a part of Lloy-

considered impolite and the subject of muchheated debate.

Would it increase acceptance and understanding if folks were aware of the name origins and their original significance to their community?

In reality, words are simply letters put together to form a definition of sorts. These definitions have been changed as a direct result of society’s changing values, progress and subsequent breakdown. Words once safe to speak are now considered offensive to some. Have you ever stopped to consider though, how and why we as a society have accepted this change to happen? If we have the power to alter the meaning of words through decades of use, together we can take a stand using this same power to make words once again mean what they were originally meant to mean.

File Photo dminster and we want to make sure we can stay involved and give people something to look forward to.”

Great, just great!

PRAIRIE WOOL HELEN ROW TOEWS

Isn’t it great to get your hands back into the earth and start planting again?

Whether you have fields, flower boxes or gardens to tend, it does a heart good to break into the rich brown soil after such a long winter. Of course, it’s not so great to get your hands into the earth if a cat has recently squatted there, or a dog has deposited some toothsome treat beneath the crust.

We don’t have outside cats, but I know how unpleasant that situation can be, and as for t he d og p r oble m, sit back and let me tell you about it.

Upon exiting my house this past week I noticed my flower beds had been ripped up.

Fresh dirt had been dug and piled right where I’d planted the precious

tulip bulbs I’d faithfully carried home from Holland. Blast!

My eyes narrowed upon Chili, the family dog and bane of my existence. Well, not really the bane, but a few of her escapades are hard to forget; things like the day she methodically chewed a gaping hole into the drywall beside her bed, or the afternoon she took a leisurely crap, the size of a small badger, on my newly-purchased area rug.

She looked back at me, tail wagging; the picture of innocence and good humour.

I found my trowel and bent to investigate. It didn’t take much effort to reveal the shinbone of a recently-deceased cow hidden in a shallow grave amongst the mangled remains of my tulips. Great.

Then, as I was loosening the dirt in a large tub by the house, my

trowel hit upon another obstacle. I’d been transplanting petunias and hadn’t bothered with my gloves. Oh, how I wish I had.

Fishing about in the soft earth I grabbed what felt like an article of clothing. Granted, it was furry …

“Argh!” I screeched, tossing the flattened remains of a partially chewed gopher high into the air. Double great.

Chili and my brother’s dog, Gibson, often get into scrapes together.

Several times we’ve had to fetch them from one place or another.

This winter, as I was driving my school bus home after work, I glanced toward the house of a new neighbour to our area and observed Chili and Gibson frolicking about in the field beside their garage. Drat. Those dogs are up to it again.

LGCC pro shop, driving range open MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

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

The Lloydminster Golf & Curling Centre is one step closer to full operations amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Pro Shop, driving range and online booking were available to patrons as of Saturday, May 23.

The Pro Shop is open to the public from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., allowing four people, excluding staff, inside at one time, and will follow the guidelines for retailers as outlined by the Government of SaskatchFROM PAGE 8

Angrily, I laid on the horn knowing if Chili saw the bus she’d run for home.

Honk, honk, honk!

I leaned on it loud and long, but the dogs paid not the slightest attention. They gambled about in the snow, bowling one another over and moving onto the front lawn to continue their fun.

ewan. Effective June 1, the Pro Shop will open one hour earlier.

The driving range, fo llo w ing suit o f th e reopening of the course, will see additional safety measures, including limiting the number of participants to eight, sanitizing drivin g ran g e b alls after every use and removing all unnecessary touchpoints.

Booking a tee time online is available at lgcc.ca/teetime, and allows course users to book a tee time seven days in advance.

Tee times, four days in advance, can be reserved by calling the Pro Shop at 306-8255494. Walk-on golfers are not permitted.

Indoor and outdoor seating areas for food and beverage remain closed.

The golf course at the Lloydminster Golf & Curling Centre reopened with additional precautionary measures on Friday, May 15. For more information about what is in place to ensure public safety, visit lgcc.ca/ covid-19.

With increasing annoyance, I yanked the vehicle to the side of the road and slammed open my window.

“YOU BLOODY DOGS GET HOME,” I hollered at the top of my lungs.

They paused to gaze at me with mild interest. “GET HOME,” I screamed, punctuating my sentence with further honking.

It was then that the

homeowner strode into view, lifting his arms in a time-honoured gesture that clearly said, “What the hell are you doing?”

And, it was then I realized they weren’t our dogs. The new neighbours owned two, almost identical hounds to ours. Triple great.

Question for a cop? They’d love to hear it EDITOR Taylor Weaver

In my humble opinion, this industry is about building relationships and not burning bridges, especially in a tightknit community such as Lloyd.

Since moving to the Border City in 2014, I’ve always had a great working relationship with local members of the RCMP, as was the case during my previous 14-month stint in High River, Alta.

Over the past couple of years, ideas have been tossed around to get the Lloydminster RCMP more involved with the Meridian Source, and a community desire for this partnership was apparent during the detachment’s town halls earlier this year.

Well, I am pleased to say that relationship is coming to fruition, and as of June 4, the Lloydminster RCMP will have a weekly submission in

the paper, written by the very members who work and live in the Border City.

The first article of each month will come from the desk of Insp. Lee Brachmann, who will share localized stats from the past month as well as what the Lloyd detachment will be focusing on in the coming months.

Week two will come from Const. Michael Hagel and will focus on the local detachment’s community initiatives.

Whether it’s a bike rodeo, Stuff the Cruiser or the Battle of the Badges memorial hockey game, Hagel will make sure you’re in the know.

Our third instalment will come from Const. Grant Kirzinger in the form of a Q and A, and this is where you fine folks will have the opportunity to get involved. If you have a question for the Lloydminster RCMP, they would love to answer it. Please send your questions to me at taylor@meridiansource.ca with

the subject line “RCMP Question,” and I will forward them to Const. Kirzinger for followup.

The final instalment will be a combination of the previous three and will come from the desk of Sgt. Sarah Knelsen.

The next month, the series will begin again.

I’m not the only one who’s excited about this partnership, as community engagement is a big part of what our local RCMP members do. As a matter of fact, they’re passionate about it.

I have known all four of these local members for a number of years and know their commitment to community policing is second to none.

So, here’s your opportunity for open lines of communication with members of our local law enforcement.

We hope you enjoy this valuable addition to your weekly read, and look forward to receiving your questions!

Until next week.

Happy birthday, Alexis!

This week was made special for one young Border City resident, who was visited by the Lloydminster Agricultural Exhibition Association’s Buck the Bronco, to help celebrate her birthday. Happy birthday Alexis!

Opinion

Leeway from Lloyd: A new buzz to COVID STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE

The recent spell of cool, wet weather might help kill off some of this year’s mosquito population. It probably won’t though, so we’ll all have something different to talk about other than COVID-19.

Fortunately for me, my favourite summer TV show, America’s Got Talent, returned this week for season 15 to provide my brand of entertainment relief.

When the NHL returns, that will be a barometer that the end of this madness is in sight. It’s certainly pretty hard for local athletes to keep moti-

vated too, especially if their sport requires one of the closed facilities like the swimming pool or any hockey rink.

Most of the local triathletes I know all had their 2020 summer events cancelled.

However, you don’t need a facility to run or cycle, but any competitive goals have to be postponed.

I’m still hoping a couple of the 100-kilometre cycling events scheduled for September don’t get cancelled along with the motivation to get in shape for one or two of them.

The people whose dreams are really hit hard by COVID-19 are the Olympic athletes.

Some of the swimmers

Church Directory

practice more than 10 kilometres a day.

You can’t mimic that in your living room or even in a backyard pool.

Being a rec swimmer myself, the first thing you lose after a layoff is the feel for the water, plus all the muscles that propel you. There won’t be many world records set at the next Olympics in the pool or any sports that athletes can’t practice for during COVID-19.

The pandemic break from normal routines may be good for youth who have found other things to do besides one of two sports all year round.

Sask. crop report: May 12-18 MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

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

Farmers in the northwest, which includes Meadow Lake, Turtleford, Pierceland, Maidstone and Lloydminster, planted 30 per cent more of the crop this week, bringing seeding progress to 38 per cent complete in the region.

This is behind the five-year average (20152019) of 45 per cent for this time of year.

Within the region, 89 per cent of the field peas, 81 per cent of the lentils, 61 per cent of the spring wheat, 37 per cent of the barley, 23 per cent of the canola and 10 per cent of the oats are seeded to date.

Too much of anything leads to injuries and maybe unrealistic expectations of pro careers, versus plain old fun.

It can also limit social interactions similar to

File Photo The eastern areas of the region received a small amount of rain on Monday, whereas the western areas received very little to none.

The Mayfair area received the highest amount of precipitation in the province with around 15 mm.

The Speers area received six mm, the North Battleford area five mm and the Hafford area two mm.

Cold temperatures and frost over the past

week have slowed pasture growth in some areas of the region.

Cropland topsoil moisture is rated as two per cent surplus, 95 per cent adequate and three per cent short.

Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as three per cent surplus, 88 per cent adequate and nine per cent short.

The stuff I hope never returns is the all-day day-biting mosquitoes and the hornets that don’t social distance when I stop to refuel on my bike.

To them, I say buzz off.

This MGA open 2-seat coupe is powered by a 1500cc 4-cylinder in line, push rod OHV engine with twin SU H4 carburetors. There were 58,570 MGA’s built. When the new MGA design arrived in 1955, it must have come as a shock to MG afficionados.

It was a complete departure in styling for MG from the traditional tall radiator grille and standoff headlights that was typical for MG since the 1920’s. Then in 1962 the MGA was replaced by the MGB which would prove in its many forms to be the longest running and best selling MG of them all. MG cars had their roots in the mid-1920s as a sales promotion sideline of Morris Garages, a retail sales and service centre in Oxford, England, to promote the Morris Oxfords then being produced. The MG name was derived from Morris Garages. The marque is now owned by Chinese automotive company, SAIC Motor Corporation.

Guidelines introduced for fitness centre reopenings JAMIE HARKINS

WRITER

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

The Border City’s gyms and fitness facilities will once again hear the clang of barbells and taste the sweat of hard-working patrons.

The Saskatchewan Government announced last Thursday that Phase 3 of their fivestage reopening plan will begin on June 8.

Gyms and fitness facilities are included in this phase, as are childcare centres, places of worship and personalservice businesses including tattoo artists, manicurists and estheticians among others.

Colleen Young, Saskatchewan Party MLA for the Lloydminster constituency, said the provincial health

authority has provided some guidelines that gym and fitness facility operators must abide by when reopened.

She said ice rinks and field houses as well as sport courts and locker rooms are not included in Phase 3 and cannot reopen on the same date.

“We’ve done very well,” said Young.

“That’s kudos to people realizing the importance of all of us following restrictions as much as we could in order to keep our cases low, so that we could reopen our economy and our province again, get people back to work and get our families back a little bit of normality.”

Gym and fitness facility operators must maintain social distancing as well as establish stringent cleaning and disinfecting protocols.

At least one staff member must be present at all times, it is advised that clients be screened upon arrival and contact-less forms of payment and checkin are asked to be used whenever possible.

Group fitness classes can only be offered if physical distancing can be maintained and cannot accommodate more than 10 people per session. Class patrons are also being encouraged to bring their own equipment such as yoga mats.

The City of Lloydminster is currently working on plans to reopen its Servus Sports Centre gym to patrons. People are being asked to check updated information at www.lloydminster.ca/ covid19.

“Since the onset of COVID-19, public safety and the community’s health has been the top priority,” said Jordan Newton, incident commander for the City of Lloydminster’s Incident Management Team.

“We continue to evaluate the guidelines mandated by the Government of Saskatchewan to ensure we can safely open and operate the fitness centre within the Servus Sports Centre. Whether that’s on the same day as Phase 3 of the Re-open Saskatchewan plan or later has not been confirmed.

We’re hoping to release additional information later this week or early next week.”

The Province of Saskatchewan, including t he ent iret y of Lloy dminster, tallied 331 cases of COVID-19 with 57 active when it introduced its five-phase reopening plan on April 23. The number of cases increased to 630 with 88 active by May 23.

The province recorded its eighth death due to COVID-19 on Tuesday.

Vicky Mowat, NDP MLA for Saskatoon Fairview and opposition

File Photo health critic, said the Saskatchewan people stepped up at the start of the pandemic to flatten the curve. She said the low number of cases in many areas of the province is encouraging, but a few concerns remain such as the lack of support shown to some businesses in need of cleaning supplies and personal protective equipment as well as the want of communication between the government, communities and First Nations leadership.

“We’ve heard, unfortunately, about a lack of consultations throughout the phases,” said Mowat. “There is a need to get everyone at the same table. It’s encouraging to see that the legislature is going to be reopening, but these are some of the issues that we have been fighting for. To make sure that there are more voices (heard), so we can move forward as a unified front.”

Young said the gov-

ernment’s five-phase Re-Open Saskatchewan plan has allowed the provincial economy to gain a bit of steam while also tempering the chance of future outbreaks. She said they are currently in talks with the Saskatchewan Health Authority about moving to Phase 4, which could signal the return of baseball.

“Our case numbers have remained low and our health facilities are able to manage them as they come in,” said Young.

“It’s all about ensuring that our health care workers, our health care facilities, have the capacity to manage any significant surges that we may have had or maybe will have in the future. I think we’ve reached that point now.

There are still some discussions around whether or not there will be (a start to the) baseball season. What date that will be I can’t tell you at this point in time.”

Are you ready for some football SPORTS EDITOR JAMIE HARKINS

Last week, we spent some time discussing return-to-play in the professional sports world.

Now, dear readers, a focus on the immediate and long-term future of the Canadian Football League seems to be needed, contemplated or at least sniffed at. And, no, the viability of teams in Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver are not the essence of this piece, but their eventual demise will likely get a mention or two.

Let’s zoom in our own backyard. For all those practicing social distancing, this shouldn’t be that big of a problem anyway.

We can chastise the neighbours tomorrow.

Over the past few years, watching and reporting on football has become my fall and summertime crushes.

I even got paid to do it at one time, but that’s a story for another day.

Randy Ambrosie, commissioner of the CFL, recently approached the Government of Canada asking for $30 million now and a further $120 million if the regular season gets scrapped. He justified the move by stating the gate-driven league collectively loses between $10 and $20 million a season with fans in the stands, including the dozen or so who normally show up at Argos games, but a summer without football could spell its end.

Now, I’ve never actually covered a CFL game.

However, I have enjoyed many chances to interact both professionally and not with players and coaches throughout my 40-some years.

An Ottawa Rough Riders lineman lived on my street growing up.

My friends and I used to play football in the small park in front of his

house hoping he’d come out to join us.

And, Lansdowne Park used to be wide open.

So, my cousin and I would head down to the field to toss the ball around pretending the G re y C u p w a s i n t h e building.

The Rough Riders folded when I came of age souring my taste for the CFL. An ill-fated affair with the Renegades then nearly tore me from the game for good.

It took a move to Saskatchewan to bring me back. I hesitated at first only to fall victim to the Roughriders storybook 2013 Grey Cup run coupled with the creation of a new team to love in the Rouge Noir.

Regina’s next chance to host the Grey Cup has already been moved back from 2020 to 2022. But, according to Ambrosie during a town hall with season ticket holders last week, the Roughriders still have a chance to win another at

home this year as long as they reach the end game and finish ahead of their opponent during the shortened regular season.

Ambrosie noted the plan is to start the season on or near Labour Day and play until the first few weeks of December. The opportunity to host the championship game would be rewarded to the topranked team in the final.

There is also an idea out there that the CFL could resort to hub cities, likely Regina and Winnipeg, which could act as venues for all of the league’s games. The expense of moving each of the nine teams into one of these two centres for who knows how long isn’t known.

In fact, almost everything about the CFL’s return in 2020 seems farfetched. And, scheduling a season that rides into a predicted second wave of this thing might be a bit too optimistic.

However, I don’t think

losing a year is going to kill the league. And, a massive bailout from the federal government shouldn’t even be in the cards.

Some struggling franchises, namely the Alouettes and Argos, may fold if no teams take to

the field this summer and fall. But, you’ve got to believe that moneymaking machines, or at least break-even clubs, like the Blue Bombers, Roughriders and Eskimos carry on. After all, it’s not like any are run

MIDWEST MINUTE VERN McCLELLAND

One of the most interesting aspects of my job as a realtor is looking at property I have not seen before, whether it be

Careers Back to school

farmland, acreages, recreation homes, urban housing, or commercial sites.

In any given week, I often traverse from one end to the other of our 6,000 square mile region of northwest Sas-

katchewan and north east Alberta; it is not uncommon to put on 400 kms in a single day.

I refuse to speculate on the value of a parcel until I have stood on it myself as there can be significant differences in attributes which may prove important.

Fundamentally, I try to look at property through the eyes of a discriminating buyer, even when providing valuation advice on value for estate planning for retiring farmers knowing their land will not be going on the market.

To me, it is always important to honour the heritage of a site.

I often ask the current owner about previous owners and uses, and if they don’t know, I may refer to an extensive library of local his-

tory books in my home office.

Yes, you could call it personal curiosity, but there are practical considerations as well.

My thinking is that I want to know what the “locals” know.

The last thing I want a buyer to experience is six weeks after they move in, to have a neighbour inform them there was a suicide in the barn or a former village dump is under the hill on the south side of the quarter.

I have watched grown men retreat in haste from a hospital converted into an apartment building when they realize the basement room we are standing in once served as a morgue. Or to find out the reason for the new carpet in the hallway of a house was

installed to cover fluid stains from a decaying body of an elderly gentleman who died from natural causes but wasn’t found for several days in the summer heat.

There are fun places too, like the one I visited on the weekend.

An old school yard complete with the original building built almost 100 years ago with several handmade desks and benches still intact within.

Today, the site is home to a flock of sharp-tail grouse and one mule deer seeking haven amongst the encroaching caragana.

One can only speculate on the commitment it took local homesteaders to build and keep it operational for thirty plus years.

How many children

went on from there to successful careers, whether in agriculture or business or to raise families of their own?

In these days of distance learning and home schooling, it really has not been so many years since the social life of a district centered on a building like this.

Or lonely neighbourhood bachelors found love with the arrival of a new teacher! Watch for the listing, soon you too can own your very own one-room school (complete with skunks)!

Obituaries & Memoriams

AMUNDRUD: Agnes Amundrud went to be with the Lord on May 14th, 2020 at the Jubilee Nursing Home, Lloydminster, Sk. at the age of 91 years. She passed away in her sleep of natural causes, seemingly peacefully. Just a few days ago, family members talked by telephone to her for Mother’s Day. She was quite coherent and jovial as usual.

Because of Covid-19 we were not allowed to physically visit her for the last few months.

However, she remained upbeat and seemed to enjoy her days.

Mom was born in Lloydminster, Sk. on Sep. 16th, 1928.

She was the second oldest sibling of seven born to William and Annie Anderson.

She was predeceased by her husband Tommy, brother Billy, and sisters Mary, Reta and Barbara and infant great grandson Johnny. She is survived by her children Irvin (Joanna) of Victoria, B.C., Glen (Linda) of Lloydminster, Marilyn of Chilliwack, B.C. and Don (Linda) of Lloydminster, fifteen grandchildren, thirty-eight great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren, also sisters Dorothy and Edith and

numerous friends and relatives.

Mom was raised on a farm in the Furness district south of Lloydminster, where her son Glen and Linda are presently farming. She was taught how to work hard. She did her share of stooking and forking bundles into the threshing machine. She milked cows by hand and other chores. She loved to break the horses to ride until one too many close encounters occurred. Mom rode horseback, walked or skiied to attend Rugby school. She got the prize for not missing a day of school for seven consecutive years. She went to high school in Lloydminster and took normal school in Saskatoon. She began teaching in a one room school, grades one to ten at the young age of 17. She taught in Lucky Lake, Borden and Greenwood, SK. Mom met Dad, Tommy Amundrud, when he was on a leave from the army and after the war things got more serious after meeting again at a local dance. They married on July 7th, 1949; went to check into a room in North Battleford that Dad had reserved, but all the rooms were taken so they spent their first night in the hotel lobby. They honeymooned in Waskesiu, Sk. They were blessed with a son, Irvin, in 1950, then I, Glen, another son was born in 1952, and a daughter, Marilyn, in 1954 and finally another son Don in 1956.

They farmed in the Tangleflags district until 1978. Mom

taught school in Hillmond from 1965 to 1974, then in Frenchman Butte. They retired and moved to Chilliwack, B.C. in 1979.

Mom knew how to give you a look in a way that made you feel like you could have done better without having to say anything. She set a good example to follow. I don’t recall her ever getting angry enough to raise her voice.

Between raising four kids, helping with the milking and farming and teaching school, it didn’t leave much spare time to relax.

She enjoyed her early retirement. Dad was 11 years older and they retired when Dad was 62. Mom was coming 51 at the time. She said early retirement was the best thing they ever did.

She did not like shovelling snow so the weather in Chilliwack was great.

Mom said she became a Christian and accepted Jesus in the early 1970s.

She loved the hymns. She talked me into driving her and Irvin to a Charles Enloe Gospel meeting where I, Glen, also was introduced to the good news of Jesus and became a Christian. Mom was a big supporter of all her family and extended family. Ready and willing to go the extra mile. The more around the table the merrier.

We couldn’t have had a better mother. She will always be loved and missed but is now enjoying living in the presence of God in that glorious paradise called Heaven.

Due to the present restric-

tions and distancing rules a private family service was held.

Officiant – Glen Amundrud Personal tributes were given

by Agnes’ Family – Irvin, Don, (Marilyn’s was read by Don), Amanda and (Gary’s, Daryl’s, Lorilyn’s and Sheri’s was read by Glen).

Musicians – Gary Amundrud, Daryl Amundrud, Sheri Amundrud and Lorilyn Brassington.

Pallbearers – Grandchildren – Dean Amundrud, Amanda Amundrud, Lindsey Eaton, Arlis Howard, Gary Amundrud, Daryl Amundrud, Lorilyn Brassington and Sheri Amundrud.

Internment was held at Lloydminster City Cemetery.

CARD OF THANKS Thank you to her Doctors, Nurses and the staff at Jubilee Nursing Home in Lloydminster. We so appreciate everything you have done for Mom over these past years.

Thank you to Glenn McCaw and McCaw Funeral Service for their professional help and caring service.

Donations in memory of Agnes Amundrud may be made to LRHF-Jubilee Home Patient Comfort Fund or to the donor’s charity of choice.

The service was videotaped

by Laura Lights Photography.

God Bless You All. Irvin and Joanna Amundrud and family Glen and Linda Amundrud and family Marilyn Howard and family
