Great year for SPCA JESSICA DEMPSEY Staff Writer The Lloydminster and District SPCA had a record year in 2017, adopting out 630 animals, breaking their record from the previous year. At last week’s SPCA Annual General Meeting, executive director Jon Punshon reflected on the many highlights at the shelter. “(It’s) amazing,” said Punshon about breaking the adoption records this year. “Considering we implemented practices where we have seen better management of incoming animals. So, to see that we declined in the number of animals that were brought in to the shelter, but still an increase in the number that was adopted out, speaks volumes about the work we are doing.” In 2017 154 dogs were adopted, which is on par from the previous year, and 464 cats were adopted, the most in eight years. “Since it’s a majority cats, it’s great that people think about us first to get their new feline companion,” said Punshon. To cut down on admissions, and prioritize admissions based on pregnant or injured cats, the SPCA implemented a “managed admissions” format. “When we look at the results that we have seen with the numbers, and how people, when we put them on a waitlist, do end up finding the owners or keeping the cats, that’s less animals coming into the shelter, which means we have the space to help those that truly do need it that are in distress,” explained Punshon. He noted many cats are indoor/outdoor and are not actually in distress and don’t need the SPCA, so they may actually just be wondering around. Only seven per cent of stray cats were

The Lloydminster Animal Hospital was the recipient of the 2017 Business Recognition Award at last week’s SPCA AGM.

reclaimed by their owners in 2017, which is why the SPCA has also been pushing certain initiatives. “Our microchip initiative, working to increase our pet licences again in 2018, with that emphasis of getting a free microchip with your pet licence, are hopefully ways we can encourage people to get identification on their cats and dogs so we continue to see that decline in admissions, or if they do come in, we get them reunited with their families,” said Punshon. The biggest success for Punshon was the implementation of the Barn Buddy Program, for unsocial or feral cats. “That made a huge difference, and we see that with our numbers and with the number of cats that were able to get a second chance at life,” he said. There were 26 cats who were able to find barn homes. The shelter received multiple grants and donations throughout the year, and

multiple successful fundraisers, including the SPCA Dinner Theatre which was the third most successful in 17 years, raised $152,494.07. Even though it was a highlight year for most parts, Punshon said they are going to continue to work on pet licences for 2018. In 2017 there were only 666 licences sold, 197 cats and 469 dog licences. “I would love to see that number grow. We are working really hard to spread the word about the importance of licensing. It’s a long way to go, but we continue to make every effort possible to achieve that,” he said. Continuing to spread the message is also going to be vital for Punshon and the SPCA going forward. “Just getting that word out there more, and letting people know we are here and we are here to deal with a larger issue of animal overpopulation. It takes a community. The SPCA is just one of the tools there to help deal with this,” he said.

Talking can save lives F

entanyl overdoses are on the rise in Saskatchewan, and experts don’t anticipate the problem will slow down any time soon. I remember just over 10 years ago the newest “craze” that was taking the lives of teenagers was called “dusting,” where keyboard cleaner or “Dust-off” was inhaled due to the possibility of an immediate rush of euphoria as well as possible hallucinations and delusions. The really scary thing about dusting was, one in four people died the first time they tried it. Fast forward to today and fentanyl is the new name known around the country, and according to the Government of Canada’s website, from January to September 2017, 72 per cent of accidental apparent opioidrelated deaths involved fentanyl or fentanyl analogues, compared to 55 per cent in 2016, and between January 2016 and September 2017, approximately 80 per cent of accidental apparent opioid-related deaths also involved one or more types of nonopioid substances. Something needs to change, and I think the first step is to simply talk about the problem. A lot of these overdoses occur because

street drugs such as cocaine are being laced or cut with fentanyl and the user doesn’t know what they’re ingesting until it’s too late. If you tell a kid not to do something, they’re going to want to do it, so instead, let’s talk about what’s really going on out there and not sweep it under the rug. I’ve never been a cocaine guy myself, but I will say, having lived in Lloydminster for four years, it’s been offered by complete strangers in bars on numerous occasions. If you’re looking, it’s not hard to find, and with anything, awareness is key so don’t be afraid to talk about it. With fentanyl becoming more and more prevalent in street drugs, life-saving medications such as naloxone is something everyone should know about, and kits are readily available at a number of locations in Lloydminster with no cost involved. A number of recent overdoses throughout Saskatchewan have been linked to batches of cocaine laced with fentanyl. You never know what’s in unregulated drugs that could have been cheaply made in someone’s basement. Educate yourselves, your kids and your neighbours, and for more information on the fentanyl crisis in Canada and naloxone kits, visit https://bit.ly/2o4VUGM. - Taylor Weaver, Managing Editor

Court adjourns Husky case to June 21 MERIDIAN BOOSTER STAFF

Husky Energy Ltd.’s first day in Sask a t c h ewa n c o u r t i n L l oy d m i n s t e r o n March 29 over charges stemming from a pipeline leak into the North Saskatchewan River was a short one. At the request of Husky, court proceedings have been adjourned until June 21 to give the Calgary-based company more time to review a total of 10 charges of violating Saskatchewan and federal environmental laws. Charges were laid on March 22 following a 19-month joint federal/provincial investigation after the July 2016 spill of 225,000 litres of diluted heavy oil near Maidstone, Sask. The spill forced a number of cities in the province of Saskatchewan downstream from the leak to temporarily stop drawing drinking water from the North Saskatchewan River. Environment and Climate Change Canada laid nine charges against Husky Energy Inc. and Husky Oil Operations Limited (holder of the pipeline licence) relating to the spill. The Province of Saskatchewan also laid one charge under their Environmental Management and Protection Act.

The maximum fine for the EMPA charge is $1 million. Husky apologized for the spill and the impact it has had. “We have worked hard every day since to make things right and we have learned from it,” said Husky spokesperson Mel Duvall in a previous email.

Students at Mother Teresa Early Childhood Education Centre are getting the opportunity to learn all about math, science, engineering and technology, as they take part in different activities.

JESSICA DEMPSEY Staff Writer The minds of pre-school students are acting as sponges as they soak up basic science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills. Students at Mother Teresa Early Childhood Education Centre have been taking part in STEM programs throughout the year, as they are getting engaged in learning these new skills. “They are builders,” Sarah Rorquist, Pre-K teacher, said about the students and why this program was good for them. “They take everything that we have and they expand on it so much.” The students get to take part in buildi n g a c t iv i t i e s s u c h a s L e g o s a n d a Humpty Dumpty activity where they build a wall and it has to support an egg. “There are some stacking Easter eggs – they are stacking them up to see how tall they can get – so that’s math. They are measuring to see how tall they are and counting how many eggs there are. There’s some engineering with making ramps for their eggs to roll down. They are learning how to make the ramp, and what will help it to roll straight down,” explained Rorquist, adding how bringing this type of learning to the younger children was important. “They are so eager and they just use their imagination to take it further,” she said. Overall, Rorquist said she wanted the students to gain the confidence needed to help them accomplish anything they put their minds too. “Lots of our centres are open-ended, so STEM is really that, it’s open-ended, it’s getting them to create and build and do things on their own. So, we’re teaching them they are capable of doing that,” said Rorquist. While many of the careers that come from STEM education are male-dominated, teaching the girls the skills at a younger age may even increase their love for it.

“It shows those girls that they have that power too, and they can do it, and they are all equals,” she said. The centres are kept and carried on throughout the year, and the feedback Rorquist has had from the students has been amazing. “My son is in Grade 1 here, so he was so excited to come home and tell me exactly what he did and what he built, so it was really awesome,” she said.

More than a BLIP on radar Students take laughing to a whole new level

JESSICA DEMPSEY Staff Writer Bishop Lloyd Middle School is producing all the laughs. This is the first year of the Bishop Lloyd Improv Performers (BLIP), which has gained popularity among students. “It’s been amazing. It’s really fun,” said Grade 9 student Anrita Grewal. Her favourite part of joining the club has been the friendships she has made. She is hoping to be able to grow her skills and is thinking of improv as a future career. “It’s just really fun and I like to do it,” she said. Grade 9 student Kaitlin Gorman joined the club because of her love of drama. “It’s been really cool,” she said about the first year. “We’ve got to experience performing in front of actual people and not just people in the club.” As for a career, Gorman said she could see it happening. “It’s one thing that I have really enjoyed since I was younger. Most people are in sports, but I’ve been into drama and acting,” she said. Grade 9 teacher Kaylin Britton saw a need for an improve club at the school after she spent some time with Simon Stang and the Lloydminster Comprehensive High School’s Improve club. “I noticed how much fun the students were having, but also building a lot of great skills with confidence and risk taking. I thought it would be a great addition to the extra-curricular clubs we have here at Bishop,” she explained. Grade 9 student Danny Tepper also has a flair for drama and knew the improve club

was the perfect fit. “Meeting new people and getting out of your comfort zone,” Tepper said was a highlight. “I usually tend to be a really quiet person, but then when you have something you’re supposed to do and get involved with it, and come up with ideas … being in front of people gives you more practice,” Tepper said. There are usually 10 to 30 students who show up to practice, which takes place three times a week and it comprised of Grade 7 to 9 students. Highlights of the year include hosting their first show at LCHS where students were able to be mentored by the LCHS Improv Club. “They kind of got them use to the stage and space, and allowed community members and family to see them perform,” said Britton. The students were also able to go to Rapid Fire Theatre Sports, which is an improve festival in Edmonton. “They competed in the Rapid Fire Junior, so just for middle school. It was great for experience, great for learning new games, new tricks from other students, and to meet the improv community in Alberta,” said Britton. The students have been able to Sale ends June 2 grow from taking part in the club. “I teach all these kids in the classThinking of renovating this spring? room as well, and during class, they We can build to fit kitchens & vanities. are so much more likely to put up their hand, and answer questions, FREE ESTIMATES and take those risks even outside of • In House Manufacturing • Journeyman Cabinet Maker the classroom,” said Britton, add• Designer on Staff • Business Integrity Awards ing she hoped students were able to learn to be more confident and to be able to take risks through their experience in the club. “I hope a lot of them continue to take this on to high school and help them with the transition phase, so they can get to know the club there GEORDIES WOODWORKING LTD. and feel at home in their school next 2911 - 50 Avenue, Lloydminster, SK | 306-825-5900 year,” she said. www.geordies.ca

Closing out Lent

JESSICA DEMPSEY Staff Writer

As Easter break was approaching for schools, students at St. Mary’s Elementary School took part in Stations of the Cross. “Each room was set up as a different station. It helps them get a clear understanding of what Jesus went through, and what He might have experienced,” explained Grade 3 teacher Kyla Iversen. This was a good way for the school to close out Lent. “It was a focus on the prayer part of it and focusing on the true meaning of Easter. I think sometimes we get bombarded with social media and things going on, so this was a chance to reflect,” said Iversen. Students were heavily involved in the morning, as many were able to lead the prayer and help tell the stories. “We wanted it done in the children’s voice so they can feel and experience it at their level … it seems more impactful if the kids lead it,” said Iversen. It wasn’t just listening throughout the morning as there were images in each room to help the students identify with what was being said. “It’s important to involve all of the kids, right from Kindergarten to Grade 7, so they are all involved and all impacted. The images would help them in some

parts, maybe they wouldn’t be able to read for example, like in Kindergarten, but they can see the images and still get the message and they would hear the message on the intercom,” said Iversen, adding having this event within the school was also a way for the students and staff to remember the true meaning of Easter. “Everyone is excited about chocolate and bunnies and they forget about what the true meaning of what this holiday represents for us as Catholics. So, it gives them a chance to reflect, refocus, and appreciate the life we have,” she said.

Rodeo’s best delight Lakeland College JAMIE HARKINS Staff Writer The Lakeland College Rustlers captured four of 13 Canadian College Finals Rodeo buckles this past weekend. Rustler Nathan Newman started the championship haul by picking up the Canadian Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (CIRA) Cowboy of the Year award during opening night of the Finals Rodeo at the Lakeland College Equine Centre in Vermilion on Thursday. Team Southern Alberta athlete Brittainy Smith won the CIRA Cowgirl of the Year prize. “It’s an honour,” said Newman. “It’s so cool. It’s something I’ve always dreamed of and for it to happen is pretty exciting.” Braiden Bach, president of the CIRA, said Newman and Smith have put in a ton of hard work during the past six months to better themselves as cowboys or cowgirls, as well as help other rodeo contestants to advance in their respective events. He said both award winners are at the top of their sport, but that isn’t a prerequisite toward capturing the buckle and accompanying Canadian Christian Cowboys Association Bible. “It’s usually somebody who’s helping out and always positive,” said Newman. “I don’t know. I’ve always been like that. I just enjoy helping people get better and cheering them on. Your rodeo family is an important part of everybody’s lives and we got to all stick together and support everybody.” CIRA season champion Shyla Fuchs led off the Finals Rodeo championship night on Saturday by racing to a clean run of 21.31 seconds for the fastest time of the weekend in the pole bending event. The first-place finish accompanied by a second-hole money run the previous evening and top time on opening night earned the BC College of Equine Therapy student the buckle. Rustler Mason Helmeczi held on to capture his third-straight

top money prize with a qualified ride of 72.5 points for the bareback event championship. The ride just passed fellow Rustler and CIRA season leader Chett Deitz’s third-round score of 72 points. “It means a lot,” said Helmeczi. “This is my last year in college up here in Canada, so I’m pretty tickled to have won a championship. That’s what I worked for all year.” The Rustlers sported five athletes in the 10-man tie-down roping finals including CIRA season champion Brayden Lelek, but three strong runs during the weekend by University of Alberta Golden Bear Dylan Knapp ensured the buckle would be heading to the provincial capital.

A quick run out of the gate coupled with a perfect throw then helped Smith surge past Rustler, and season leader Jennifer Schuk for the breakaway roping buckle. Rustler Ty Livingstone brought the massive crowd of rodeo fans lining the ring onto their feet shortly after with his win-at-allcosts performance in the steer wrestling event. The weekend’s average leader somehow caught onto his target despite shooting past the steer on his jump and then held on as the animal appeared to trample over him. “To be totally honest,” said Livingston, “I just closed my eyes, gritted my teeth and hoped for the best.” Livingstone got the steer down for a qualifying time of 11.3 sec-

onds. The run allowed him to move past CIRA season champion Brennan Watson for the Finals Rodeo buckle. The barrel racing championship came down to the final runs of Northern Alberta Institute of Technology Ooks athlete Cheyenne Klepper and University of Alberta Panda Nikki Vanderlee. Klepper, the season leader, won the buckle with a time of 14.56 seconds compared to Vanderlee’s run of 14.91. Team Southern Alberta athlete and CIRA season champion Kole Ashbacher notched his third straight perfect ride to capture the saddle bronc buckle. Olds College Bronco JB Moen proved his season title was no fluke by winning the bull riding

Finals Rodeo championship. Brothers Brett and Kadon Knapp took the header and heeler prizes, respectively, in the team roping event. The CIRA season leading team of Ryden Koehler and Asa Johnson had a strong run on championship night to take second-hole money. Rustler Karlene Weltz needed a smooth run as the final contestant to enter the ring in the goat tying event due to a strong push by CIRA season champion Natalie Bevans and Southern Alberta competitor Emily Pugsley. Weltz rose to the challenge by recording a time of 9.1 seconds for the buckle. “ I ’ m d o n e t h i s y e a r,” s a i d Weltz. “So, it was really good to finish it off with a championship.”

Bull riding has emerged as one of rodeo’s most popular events. Who doesn’t love unpredictability, a time crunch, and 2,000 pounds of wild animal? Because the bulls are selected at random for the riders, this event truly tests the rider’s “bulls”manship. - Silver Spurs Rodeo

Horses take centre stage at Finals Rodeo JAMIE HARKINS Staff Writer Buckles aren’t only awarded to cowboys and cowgirls at a Canadian College Finals Rodeo. Ten prizes were presented to nine competitors on behalf of their horses at the Finals Rodeo banquet held in the Vermilion Regional Centre on Friday afternoon. These awards recognize the top horses of the season through the seven equine events run by the Canadian Intercollegiate Rodeo Association, as well as the all-around most valuable animals helping a cowboy and a cowgirl reach the top of the standings. “It’s a big deal because she is only seven years old, so she’s pretty young,” said Natalie Bevans, shortly after her quarter horse Minion won the all-around female buckle. “I only got her a year-anda-half ago and before that she had never entered a rodeo. So, for us to get the prize just shows that she learned really

fast and we’re a good team.” Bevans, a University of Lethbridge athlete competing in breakaway roping and goat tying at the Finals Rodeo, said it’s difficult finding time to train with Minion during the school year due to her commitments as a bachelor of education student teacher, but she does try to spend at least three days a week working with her. She said Minion is a high strung horse meaning a person can’t get mad at her, so the past 18 months have involved learning how to work together before going through the steps of building up for a rodeo event. “For me, to be all-around cowgirl this year was my g o a l ,” s a i d B eva n s , w h o picked up that buckle as well as the season leader prize for goat tying at the Finals Rodeo banquet. “She got hurt, so I had to make other plans, but I knew that if we kept working together the way we were during the summer that we could accomplish it.

as big as any prize I’ve ever got because I had her (with me). It really has to do with the horse you’re with.” Also collecting buckles on behalf of their horses were: Ty Livingstone, all-around male; Cailey Schatz, pole bending; Cheyenne Klepper, barrel racing; Emily Pugsley, goat tying; Brittainy Smith, breakaway roping; Quinton Van Straten, tie-down roping and steer wrestling; Dylan Knapp, heeler team roping; and Cole Schmidt, header team roping. “Over the years, her and I have both grown together,” said Schmidt, a Lakeland College electrician student. “We’ve gotten quicker. I’ve gotten to the point where I

can throw my rope a little faster and she can read the play a little bit. She knows how to handle certain situations and she calms me down a lot.” Schmidt and his horse Patootie have been working the rodeo circuit hard for the past four or five years in an effort to reach the top prize money, he noted. They train together about four times a week and Patootie is a very good h o r s e r i g h t n o w, a d d e d Schmidt, but there is always room for improvement. “It’s a lot of hard work and a lot of dedication,” he said. “They never start out easy. It’s a lot of work to get them to where they’re a good horse.”

Hard work by a dedicated Canadian Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (CIRA) executive board and its membership ensured the 2018 Canadian College Finals Rodeo would go on. The CIRA executive, which puts on the Finals, faced an uncertain future at the start of the 2017-18 season due to a mixture of factors. These included a troubled economy that has reduced sponsorship money for the non-profit organization, as well as a carried-over debt load that forced the group to focus on paying its bills at the start of the year instead of looking forward. “We had a really hard working sponsorship director this year,” said CIRA vice-president Kennedy Nelson. “Her name is Carter Nelson and she worked her tail off this year collecting sponsorships as did the whole entire board. We all contributed. As well, lots of our contestants stepped up and found a lot of sponsorships. This year really happened through a lot of hard work (at getting) sponsorships through some

very generous people. Without that we wouldn’t be here.” The CIRA is comprised of 130 members including athletes from five teams operating out of the University of Saskatchewan, Red Deer College, Olds College, Southern Alberta and Lakeland College as well as individual post-secondary competitors from across the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. The organization sanctions 10 rodeos during the school year, which are hosted by one of these teams. Apart from teacher advisors Geoff Brown and Katelyn Ellis, the CIRA is run entirely by students. They are the ones in charge of writing cheques to pay the association’s expenses, finding sponsorships to cover these bills, taking entries for their rodeos and organizing the Finals. “This year, because of the (association’s) state, Lakeland College really stepped up and helped us with a lot of different aspects like providing their building and a lot of volunteers from their rodeo team,” said CIRA secretary Skyler Brown.

Keeping traditions alive and well From page 11

“All the members this year have really stepped up and if you look in the arena during the Finals when it’s not their event the contestants are in the arena working, moving cattle, opening gates and doing whatever. It’s the entire membership that came together this year and put it on.” Brown said the CIRA allows Canadian rodeo athletes looking to advance into the professional ranks a chance to remain in this country while they continue to perfect their craft. She said some of its alumni have moved on to compete in the National Finals Rodeo championships, which shows that younger competitors can advance while staying closer to home. Nelson noted the CIRA executive and membership’s hard work this season has moved the association into the black ensuring its future as the premier stepping stone for amateur cowboys and cowgirls. She added their goal is to provide a place for returning college athletes and kids entering post-secondary studies a venue to rodeo and the entire CIRA membership and the generous sponsors who assisted them made this a reality.

Rustler Ty Livingstone scores a takedown in the steer wrestling event during the opening night of the Canadian College Finals Rodeo at the Lakeland College Equine Centre on Thursday. It took a lot of hard work by the Canadian Intercollege Rodeo Association board and its membership to ensure the Finals Rodeo would go on this year.

“When I was in college, originally it was just Lakeland and Olds that had the big rodeo teams and now we’re growing,” said Brown. “The Southern Alberta rodeo team has about 25 members now and they’ve only been around for three, four years maybe. Red Deer College now has an official rodeo team. So, the schools that are getting involved are growing significantly and we’re getting more and more teams, which mean more and more rodeos every year.”

Words for the pilgrim way: Rejoice Always

ROBERT COTTRILL For the Meridian Booster Sincere joy in a time of trial is one of the most convincing witnesses a Christian can give to the presence and power of God in his life. It is revealed not in giddy and foolish laughter, or a manufactured, superficial, grin-and-bear-it smile, but in an inner peace and serenity. A cheerful confidence, radiates from the heart and

brings a light to the eyes. People notice that, and want to know the source of it so they can have it for themselves. Words such as joy, gladness, and rejoicing, are u s e d ove r five h u n d r e d times in the Word of God. It is a common theme. Joy is produced in the heart of the believer by a ministry of the indwelling Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:22). It rises above present circumstances because it is rooted in a vital fellowship with
