Rosary’s Lucas honoured with STM Distinguish Alumni award TAYLOR WEAVER

EDITOR

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

The Lloydminster Catholic School Division (LCSD) was counting their blessings earlier this week, as one of their own was honoured with the St. Thomas More College (STM) Distinguished Alumni Award. Holy Rosary High School’s Rick Lucas, who began his teaching career with the LCSD in 1990 as an educator for fine arts, social studies and English, has a lot to be thankful for after a 30-year teaching career, and as the LCSD put it, “we recognize that be brought more to the teaching profession and our community than we ever could have hoped for.” “I was excited to even just get nominated for this award. I didn’t expect to get it. So, when I got the call officially from St. Thomas More saying I was the male recipient this year, I was quite

thrilled,” he said. The STM Distinguished Alumni Award is given out each year to one female and one male distinguished graduate who has made an impact in their community. Lucas was recognized for his many contributions both inside and outside of the classroom, and as he put it, “I’m a dying breed of people that

enter a career and have the same career for decades, but mine has morphed over those 30 years.” “I started off teaching fine arts and dance, and then was a chef educator, then there’s having my Masters, as well as getting ordained as a Deacon,” he said. “I’ve constantly been updating and changing, and you don’t see that often in education anymore.”

LCSD deputy director Glenda Kary was thrilled for Lucas and this great honour. “Rick is such a wellrounded individual, but he’s been so much part of the fabric, that we definitely have even noticed even though he’s retired. We still call on him for things, and we’re still happy to see him around most days.”

Aalbers, Young back Husky sale GEOFF LEE

WRITER

.................................. Lloydminster Mayor Gerald Aalbers and Saskatchewan MLA Colleen Young think the friendly Cenovus Energy takeover of Husky Energy for $3.8 billion in an all shares deal will spur growth in the long term. The merger will result in annual reductions of $1.2 billion in operating costs including about 2,150 job cuts to the combined workforce after the deal closes in the first quarter of 2021. “Consolidation needs to happen in order to lower the cost base for the industry, but more particularly with us,” said Husky CEO Rob Peabody during a thirdquarter conference call on Oct. 29. The combination of both companies will boost production at Cenovus to about 750,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day with some barrels from their Foster Creek and Christina Lake (FCCL) operations potentially pushed through the Husky Lloydminster Upgrader.

“We stand in a fairly good position because of the upgrader and the refinery. They add value and it was noted, if oil prices are low those facilities can make money,” said Aalbers. “We are well-positioned. There is always the chance we could see some management positions as they coordinate things. When it comes to production and operating facilities, we stand in a really good spot.” Husky CEO Rob Peabody confirmed Cenovus could run some of FCCL barrels through the Lloydminster system based on some long-term ideas floated by Cenovus CFO Jon McKenzie. He is a former Husky CFO who knows Husky’s assets well. “He’s got some pretty clear ideas. Now some of them are longerterm and will require a bit of capital as well. So they’re not short term things that we’re doing,” said Peabody. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

Peabody says looking forward, a lot of McKenzie’s ideas have to do with the ability to shorten the diluent loop in North America.

“

There’s synergies; they’ve got a plant here already, we can expand on that.

“He sees that Lloydminster site and the equipment there, plus potentially some additions as a really great opportunity to shorten that diluent loop and take a whole bunch of money out of the cost base over the long haul,” explained Peabody. Aalbers thinks more barrels coming into Lloydminster could restart talks for an additional asphalt refinery, but he cautions it’s too early to say if we could see one. “There’s synergies;

they’ve got a plant here already, we can expand on that,” said Aalbers, who plans to discuss that prospect with Cenovus. Young says the timing of the takeover was a surprise to her, but she also thinks it’s a positive economic step for this area. “Cenovus is a very strong Alberta-based company. I think working with Husky in this area will continue to provide jobs for some people and ensure that the oil and gas sector stays strong in this area and there is opportunity for that to grow,” she said. Cenovus reported a loss of $450 million in impairment charges in its third-quarter, while Husky reported a net loss of about $7 billion by an after-tax impairment of $6.7 billion. This was related to lower long-term commodity price assumptions and reduced capital investment.

Peabody says Husky was focused on reducing costs and limiting investments to generate free cash flow during the quarter. “To increase free cash flow, we started up the 10,000 barrels per day Spruce Lake Central thermal project in Saskatchewan at the end of August,” said Peabody. “It is already producing about 9,000 barrels per day.” The company also increased its thermal production in Lloyd and Tucker Lake as production at Sunrise continues to ramp up to full capacity. On the downstream side, Husky wrapped up its fall turnaround at the Lloydminster upgrader while increasing diesel capacity from 6,000 bbls/day to nearly 10,000 bbls/day. “We also saw strong demand for asphalt in the quarter. It’s allowed us to run the Lloyd refinery at full rates,” said Peabody.

In the spirit of Halloween, students at École St. Thomas had the opportunity to let a little loose last Friday with a social-distanced dance party. The day wasn’t all about dancing, however, as teachers and admin staff at the school also used the time to educate students on All Saints’ Day, All Souls’ Day, Halloween. “We also incorporated some of our logistical student pick-up teachings in here as well, and we ended up

with a fun dance party for the kids,” said École St. Thomas vice principal Anthony Bender. “We also took the opportunity to teach the kids more about social distancing. We do want them to social distance in our pick-ups, in our buses, even on our playground, and as a way of reinforcing it, we thought ‘let’s have a dance party, but let’s demonstrate social distancing and what that looks like.” Bender also explained the kids couldn’t have asked for a better way to wrap up a week. “Even though it’s

.................................. The 8th annual Economic Partnership Summit starts today to promote successful indigenous and nonindigenous business partnerships. Lloydminster Chamber of Commerce will host three more onehour webinars on Nov. 12, 19 and 26 at 10 a.m. via Zoom. The popular business connections or business matchmaking expo will follow each webinar to facilitate networking and deal-making. “We can set up a business with another delegate to talk about how they can work on proj-

ects together or partnership opportunities,” explained Chamber executive director Serena Sjodin. The first speaker is Carol Anne Hilton of Nuu chah nulth descent from the Hesquiaht Nation on Vancouver Island. She will be talking about a concept called #indigenomics which focuses on the rebuilding and strengthening of Indigenous economies. Hilton will be followed by keynote speaker and entrepreneur, Kendal Netmaker, on Nov. 12. “He has a really great inspirational story,” said Sjodin.

Netmaker is CEO and Founder of Neechie Gear from Sweetgrass First Nation, Sask. Next up will be Nick Crighton, a Nêhiyaw/ Scottish man and father from the Waterhen Lake First Nation on Nov. 19. “He talks about Indigenous engagement and how employers can

develop an Indigenous engagement strategy,” said Sjodin. The summit will wrap up with an exciting panel all about Indigenous tourism in the Prairies. “That’s going to be an interesting discussion on how to grow the Indigenous tourism industry,” said Sjodin.

COVID, we wanted the kids to see it’s still possible to have fun while social distancing, it’s

just a different fun, and we don’t have to be awkward about it; it’s OK,” he said.

LCA optimistic following AGM GEOFF LEE

WRITER

.................................. The Lloydminster Construction Association (LCA) is optimistic about future jobsite prospects for their commercial and industrial contractor members in the COVID-19 environment. That’s the outlook of John Winter in his final remarks as president at the LCA’s annual general meeting via Zoom on Oct. 28. “I think a lot of people on our board and different members I’ve talked to are staying optimistic in the near future,” said Winter, noting some members are more affected than others by the pandemic slowdown. “Nobody really knows what this COVID thing is going to look like in three, six months from now. All we can do is what we can do —we just want to keep our employees and families safe and work as hard as we can.” The LCA was in no mood to plan a party, however, for National Construction Day marked on Nov. 3. The pandemic is taking its toll as the number of LCA projects posted daily on BuildWorks Alberta for bidding has dropped from about 55 before COVID to between 25 and 30 today. LCA executive director, Dorothy Carson, notes a lot of Alberta’s shovel-ready jobs for economic recovery were roadworks instead

of buildings. “So we have a lot of RMs doing the gravel on their roads from grants and a lot of wastewater treatment plants,” said Carson. “On the whole, we are down as a province and in our area.” The picture could change for LCA members with the quickening pace of engineering work from business owners asking for prequalification of engineering services. “That’s always a good sign because at least the owners are looking for buildings,” said Carson. “Once they get the engineering in place, then the tenders will follow, so there is some hope out there. Depending on who you talk to, it’s still optimistic.” The LCA will forge ahead into 2021 with a new executive, headed by Scott Zachow from Kondro Electric, vicepresident Krystal Monteith with Sveer Maintenance and Winter as past president. Carson thanked Winter for his two years as president in her report of LCA highlights over the past year. “We kept him on his toes with the City of Lloydminster issues, bids and tenders, cannabis and COVID,” she said. A joint city/LCA committee with Winter’s input has seen progress on procurement policies, building codes and development

permits. The committee meets next in December. Winter is hopeful LCA members will be able to bid on work to upgrade new spaces the city plans to lease to relocate facilities like the Lloydminster Cultural and Science Centre. “Until we see them on BuildWorks, they’re just another Costco,” cautioned Winter. Monteith will also continue to score points for LCA members with her role on the Saskatchewan Construction Advisory Committee to create an even cross-border playing field. “Protectionist mindset is very prevalent in that group, so we have to have a lot of reminders to stick with the free trade agreements,” said Monteith in her committee report. She points out the fact Saskatchewan can’t meet its goal to attract outside investment without allowing outside contractors. “We definitely think we’ve got some work to do yet, but they are starting to realize between that and Alberta wanting labour mobility— is the opposite of the Saskatchewan mindset.” The issue has also caught the attention of the Canadian Construction Association (CCA). “The CCA did provide a statement regarding interprovincial contracts. They are in favour of the prov-

inces working with the trade agreements,” said Monteith. Carson called 2019 an indescribable year in her report of highlights with 2020 deserving no better label. LCA ended 2019 with 141 members compared to 161 in the previous year. Lloydminster will continue to play a lead role in improving B u i l d Wo r ks A l be rta, the province’s top platform for posting construction jobs, along with Calgary, Edmonton and Red Deer. The LCA is also hoping to host the 11th version of its Try-A-Trade for youth on April 28, 2021, after COVID cancelled what Carson says would have been the best ever event last May.

WRITER

.................................. Employees from Crude Master Transport won’t miss the opportunity to play Santa for seniors this year. Their administrative assistant, Ramona Holman, was likely the first person to pick 12 gift ornaments for seniors from a Christmas tree at the Lloydminster Co-op Marketplace on Nov. 2 She made her selections just minutes before the official launch of the Lloydminster and District’s Coop’s 6th annual Spread a Little Love for Christmas campaign. “We looked into last year, but of course, everything was gone, so we figured this year was a good idea. I saw it today when I came to do some grocery shopping and I phoned to make sure,” said Holman.

“Instead of doing a gift exchange between the staff members, we want to do something to give back to the community.” Some of the gift items for her employees to purchase include Tim Hortons gift cards, TV tables, board games and puzzles. Some other available gift wishes include guitar picks, devotional items, a change purse and yarn, and hand lotion. Lloyd Co-op CEO, Leanne Hawes, says the program is more important than ever this year with seniors isolated from family and friends due to COVID-19. “The Spread a Little Love Christmas campaign provides that piece of connection safely,” said Hawes. The Co-op has been working closely with local long-term care

centres since July to ensure the campaign adheres to all health guidelines amidst the pandemic. The new campaign is off to an earlier start than usual in keeping with the need to quarantine the gifts before they’re given to seniors. The campaign ends on Nov. 20 To participate, residents of Lloydminster and the surrounding area simply have to visit one of six participating Lloyd Co-op locations and choose an ornament from a tree. “We have a Christmas tree set up at Lloydminster Market Place as well as our Neilburg grocery store, and we have little trees set up at our four gas bars. They all contain ornaments,” said Hawes. Each ornament lists the senior’s name and

their Christmas wish. After the gift is purchased, the customer simply brings back the present to any participating Lloyd Co-op location. The gifts will be distributed to nearly 700 seniors residing in 14 unique seniors’ centres across six communities. Supported centres include Dr. Cooke Extended Care Centre, Dr. Hemstock, Hearthstone Place, Jubilee Home, Lloydminster Continuing Care Centre, Manitou Housing (Neilburg), and Southview Manor (Marsden). Seniors will also get gifts at Paradise Hill Care Home, Pine Island Lodge (Maidstone), Pioneer Lodge, Pioneer House, Points West Living, Tighnduin Home (Lashburn), and Lloydminster Metis Housing Authority.

Men learn to stop family violence GEOFF LEE

WRITER

.................................. Lloydminster men and boys will be digesting family violence prevention messages served at the Breakfast With The Guys event for days to come. The third annual breakfast was slated for delivery this morning in a virtual format to create male leaders that will help prevent violence in our community. Charlene Rowein, COO of Lloydminster Interval Home Society, called the breakfast the key activity for Family Violence Prevention month during a media briefing outside City Hall on Nov. 2. Rowein lined up Jake Stika, executive director of Next Gen Men, as the keynote breakfast speaker. “He’s going to be bringing a presentation to this men’s event just to really talk about gender-based violence and how men can be really engaged to make that difference and make that change,” she said. The annual event is for men who are interested in joining the conversation to prevent violence against women and girls in our community. Men who registered for the event were given a Tim Hortons gift card for takeout breakfast over Zoom.

Concerns over COVID-19 ruled out the usual in-person breakfast gathering. Awareness activities like the breakfast result from a partnership between the Interval Home Society and Family and Community Support Services (FCSS), as well as other groups. “The month is really to bring forth awareness and education to our community about family violence and genderbased violence,” said Rowein. It shocked Rowein and others in attendance to learn Alberta and Saskatchewan have the highest and second highest rates of self-reported spousal violence among all provinces. “I think that goes to show how much of an impact it can have on all other areas of our lives, especially with the children being in those situations,” she said. Rowein says COVID is also having an impact with an increase in the intensity of violence, more than the number of violent incidents, with people having to deal with the stress of isolating at home. “So certainly, we are receiving those calls to our crisis line and requests for admissions and throughout our outreach services as well,” said Rowein.

Lloydminster Interval Home COO, Charlene Rowein, took part in the kick-off of Family Violence Prevention Month awareness throughout November outside City Hall on Monday.

Counc. Aaron Buckingham, who is a member of the FCSS committee, says dissemination of information is the key to prevention. “Those people that gasped a bit at the press conference when it was said Alberta and Saskatchewan were one and two in family violence in the country— it’s an alarming thing,” said Buckingham. “Keeping that awareness going was the biggest takeaway for this month for me.” He also hopes Alberta will keep funding FCSS that provides family violence prevention supports and services along with the lead role of the Internal Home. “The Interval Home, like many organiza-

tions in our community, plays a really big role in making our community what it is and providing those supports and services,” said Buckingham. He encourages people to find out more about Interval Home, what they do and how they can support them. “These are big things we can continue to work on, especially during family violence prevention month,” said Buckingham. Patrick Lancaster, FCSS manager social programs and services, urges people to purchase some of the purple masks he made available to event attendees. CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

In the newspaper industry, it’s not too often a publication gets to brag about the work its writers, graphic designers and sales representatives do, but today is one of those days. Last week the Meridian Source (virtually) walked away from the Saskatchewan Weekly Newspaper Association’s (SWNA) annual awards with full hands and hearts. Last Wednesday, as the pages of the Meridian Source were being sent off to the printing press, the SWNA held their annual Better Newspaper Competition via Zoom. Not only did our team at the Source take home multiple first, second, and third place awards in the competition’s Premier Awards, we also got a couple of nods in the General Excellence categories for newspapers with a circulation over 6,500 readers.

Leeway from Lloyd: Pain for gain in Husky sale STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE

The friendly takeover of Husky Energy by Cenovus Energy probably won’t bring much joy to Lloydminster in the short term. The combination of the two companies will result in about 2,150 job losses when the deal closes in early 2021. While most of the

cuts will take place at the two companies’ head offices in Calgary, there is expected to be some loss in Lloydminster too, with that many employees affected. In the long term, the deal could be good for the industry in Lloydminster if Cenovus sends oil from its Christina Lake (120 kilometres southeast of Fort McMurray) and Foster Creek (in the Cold Lake Air Weap-

File Photo

ons Range) operations t o t he Lloy d minst er refinery and upgrader. If that happens, Cenovus could revisit plans to build a second asphalt refinery near the upgrader as Husky previously envisioned. It helps that Censuv’s chief financial officer is a former CFO for Husky who knows the company well. Once the Husky Superior Wisconsin refinery is fully operational in 2022 following a rebuild from a 2018 fire, it will also produce asphalt, giving Cenovus a nearly seven per cent share of asphalt production in North America. The reconfigured refinery can utilize about 25,000 barrels a day of heavy oil from a total throughout of 45,000 bbls a day of heavy and light oil.

COVID-19 could be over by 2022 too, allowing Cenovus to ramp up production of distillate for jet fuel in Lloydminster and Superior with an expected increase in commercial flights. Cenovus also gets about 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent of Brent-based barrels from Husky’s offshore Asia Pacific operations, in contrast to their low-margin oil sands production. Cenovus bought ConocoPhillips oil sands assets in 2017. The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is due for completion at the end of 2022, which will allow Cenovus to get better pricing for Western Canadian Select heavy oil. That’s important

since Cenovus also acquires Husky’s Sunrise oil sands project with the buyout. Well, no one has a crystal ball, but it’s fair to say prospects for the oil and gas sector in Lloydminster will improve with time

with Cenovus ownership, making the $3.8 billion all-shares-deal with Husky seem like a bargain. Time could also prove bigger is better in the oil and gas industry to survive and thrive.

Call of duty WHISPERS OF THE PAST SANDRA L. BROWN

Political tensions had been brewing for years. When Austro-Hungarian heir, Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated, a chain of events quickly followed until war was declared. The First World War lasted four years and was referred to as “the war to end all wars.” Its impact was felt around the world with countries uniting as allies or separated as ene mies. This event in history wasn’t just about the soldiers who were deployed or about their

20112ps1

families left far behind; it was also about civilians from every socioeconomic status who were greatly impacted. The sheer scale of this war and its devastation to human lives, economy, politics and land is truly indescribable, almost incomprehensible. As the Central Powers fought against the Allied Powers, more than 17 million soldiers and civilians are estimated to have lost their lives. This doesn’t include those who were wounded or missing in action. The actual recorded numbers vary greatly, but are nonetheless daunting. The front-page headlines in the Lloydminster Times’ Aug. 27, 1914 edition read, Lloydminster Boys Leave for the War. “The Border Boys to the war have gone and everyone in Lloydmin-

ster will be keenly anxious regarding their future wellbeing.” The mayor called a public meeting to arrange several events during the week, which ended in a Saturday night banquet and program at the Alberta Hall. Each one of the Border Boys who volunteered their service was presented with a gift by Colonel Hudson. Thoughtfully put together by the ladies, these gifts contained items deemed useful as the young men prepared to head to the front line. Captain Carl Ross and more than 30 of Lloydminster’s bravest boys left on the Sunday morning train. With best wishes of a safe return expressed from the gathering crowd echoing in their ears, these boys began their overseas trip. This was the first

contingent to leave; others would also follow answering the call of duty. For the folks at home, there were many ways to show their support for the war relief effort. This included buying war bonds, knitting clothing items and turning materials into hospital supplies. Folks sent the needed items overseas. Crossing the continents and bodies of water, letters from home shared bits and pieces of daily life. I can’t imagine what these letters meant to those fighting in the trenches. They were a lifeline and a safe place to rest their mind for a while. They say that history lasts forever and we can learn from our past. But we must be receptive to learning what we can so it never happens again. CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

Poppy Day proclaimed in Border City MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

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

Honouring the brave men and women who gave their lives in defence of the rights and freedoms enjoyed by those who call Canada home, Mayor Gerald Aalbers, on behalf of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #39, proclaimed Nov. 5 to Nov. 11, 2020, as Veterans’ Week and Oct. 29 as Poppy Day. Aalbers was joined at the Cenotaph outside of City Hall by Legion members Rick and Elaine Mallett last Friday to mark the important occasion. “This year is totally different than in the

The Border Boys were part of something so much bigger than themselves. Yet, they still went pushed forward by an inner spirit to foster good in the world. They gave their lives in service of our country and their memories linger on; brave mortals with souls just like you and I. Rejoicing on November 11, 1918, when The First World War ended would have been bittersweet for those who lost their loved ones.

past,” said Rick. “Of course, everything this year is done with social distancing in mind, so really, we could just put out a tray and have someone there to make sure everything was sanitized,” he added.

I think it’s very important that we still honour our vets, that includes those that have served, as well as those who are still serving.

“It’s kind of awkward because everyone’s used to standing there with a tray and selling poppies, but it’s what we have to do.” Despite the necessary changes to how poppies are sold due to COVID-19 protocols, Rick reinforced the fact that we must never forget. “I think it’s very important that we still honour our vets, that includes those that have served, as well as those who are still serving.

said, adding that there are roughly 422 veterans buried in the Lloydminster Cemetery. Aalbers noted he believes Poppy Day is the starting point of bringing Remembrance Day to the head every year. “Poppies signify a very important part

of Remembrance Day, so I think it’s important the community is aware,” he said. “The Legion plays an important role in the community, our veterans are an important part of our community, and the poppy is that symbol we all circle around. We have

veterans that we’re fortunate enough to have from the Second World War, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo, the U.N. work, as well as members that have committed to serving in the military,” he added. “We have members of the reserves in our

community, so I think it’s very important we have the RCMP, firefighters, people that put their lives on the line each and every day, without even blinking an eye, and I think that’s what we need to bring to people’s attention, and we need to remember.”

Improving competitiveness for Alberta beekeepers

File Photo MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

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

The governments of Canada and Alberta are expanding and extending the Alberta Beekeeper Stock Replacement Program, providing even more support to the province’s beekeepers. Now accepting applications, the Canadian Agricultural Partnership program will help Alberta’s beekeepers

offset increased colony replacement costs by ensuring any queens purchased between April 1 and Sept. 30 will be eligible for funding, and by extending the submission deadline to Jan. 29, 2021. Last winter, many of the province’s beekeepers saw substantial winter losses in their colonies, forcing them to split their colonies and introduce new queens.

These amendments will help them with the costs of purchasing those new queens. “Bees are incredibly important for Alberta crop and hay land,” said Minister of Agriculture and Forestry, Devin Dreeshen. “Alberta is the largest honey producer in Canada and these program changes will help diversify and strengthen our agriculture sector.” Alberta is the largest producer of honey in Canada, and this program will help ensure our beekeepers are able to mitigate the impacts of a difficult year and the barriers created by the COVID-19 pandemic. “As primary pollinators, bees play a critical role in the success of many of our agricultural crops,” said Minister of Agriculture and AgriFood Canada, MarieClaude Bibeau. “The expanded program will help ensure

Alberta’s beekeepers can continue this

important work, and keep their operations

strong during this difficult year.”

Ski tips up at Mount Joy with new glade runs

GEOFF LEE

WRITER

.................................. Mount Joy Snow

Resort is making some fresh tracks for the upcoming ski season

led by a new executive, expanded snow coverage and new trails. Top Gear Contracting cut several new trails last week as the first of many improvements taking shape under the leadership of new resort president Chris Bogue. “We’re cutting four new trails and we’re calling them our glades, which are narrower trails,” said Bogue. “They’ll range in difficulty from beginner to advanced, which is exciting, so it’s something for everybody.” Crews have also been out testing the snow cannons that Bogue says are in great working order. “We’ve done some maintenance here in the fall. Our readiness is right there. We just need a long duration of cold weather before we commit to making any snow,” he said. The resort is expecting to open by the first week of January, but

earlier if possible. “If we can get our volunteer base in good working order, there’s no reason we wouldn’t open up early. It really depends on how many people we get signed up at the hill,” said Bogue. The new president is stoked to count on the enthusiasm of his executive team of vice-president Lee Brachmann, treasurer Sheldon Gallagher, secretary Trent Wobeser and six board members to get the season going. “It’s absolutely amazing, fresh faces, fresh ideas, community-oriented people themselves in thought processes about how can we make our community better and then seeing those action items,” said Bogue about his group. Past president, Ray Tatro, will focus on snowmaking with an expanded snowmaking system in place that will add to the skiable area.

Top Gear Contracting cut several new trails at Mount Joy Snow Resort last week with some help from resort president Chris Bogue (right).

BPC Services installed four new risers over the summer to bring snowmaking to the slopes south of the T-Bar. “There will be more area to enjoy. This extra snowmaking will pretty well leave no spot untouched on the hill,” said Bogue. “If the weather turns mild on us, we’ll be able to go back and

make repairs to those sections that would be bare if we didn’t have that extra snowmaking capability.” Bogue is anticipating a surge in new skiers and snowboarders similar to the boom in other adventure sports during COVID-19 with health and safety measures in the works. CONTINUED ON PAGE 27

Mount Joy stoked on addition of new trails FROM PAGE 26

“We’re working on our protocols right now and our procedures. Essentially, what that turns into is just a change in our workflow,” said Bogue. The resort plans to have online sales and hopefully move to a paperless system to schedule equipment rentals to smooth out the work process and the flow of traffic through resort facilities. Another project is to start a campaign drive for volunteers that run the hill and schedule them so they don’t burn out. Bogue is banking on his experience with local athlete MacKenzie Brown launching the Lloydminster Running Club three years ago to drive interest and events to Mount Joy. The running club has held many successful events with 600-700 followers on Facebook. “Once again, that comes down to volunteers and working

with those volunteers to ensure you’re able to have enough people to operate safely,” said Bogue Tatro calls Bogue “a guy with passion,” and the right pick to replace him at the October AGM. Last year was Bogue’s first time on the board, which helped him to realize snowboarding was a latent passion of his. He says he grew up snowboarding on the east coast, then essen-

tially all but hung it up for many years. “With my new-found fitness, getting back into mountain biking, getting back into running—those types of adventure sports have rekindled my love for what we got going on right now,” he said. Other improvements and ideas range from offseason mountain biking, upgrades to the website with a live or event webcam and a broader social media presence.

Rumours, rumours, rumours

PRAIRIE WOOL HELEN ROW TOEWS

This week I caught a rumour in the making. Fortunately, I was able to intervene with the truth before it got out of hand and became something it wasn’t. It all started when I walked over to chat with a few junior high girls as they lounged near the school where a west wind whistled. I was wearing my usual garb for this time of year: two sweaters, a heavy coat, long underwear, thick pants, fuzzy gloves and a hat; since my primary concern was to stay warm. The girls controlled their shivers while wearing their usual garb for this time of year: jeans, that were little more than patches of cloth held together with scattered threads, thin hoodies (carelessly undone) socks, and flipflops; since their pri-

mary concern was to look good. “Aren’t you cold?” I asked them through chattering teeth. Okay sure, maybe I feel the change in temperatures a little more keenly than other folks, but it was flippin’ freezing outside! “Nope, we’re warm,” they answered. Questioning the truth of this statement, I let them know it was -18 with the wind chill and told them they should dress more warmly. I hitched up my pant leg to show them what sensible people wear to stay warm when the temperatures plummet. They eyed the brightly coloured leggings I had revealed in stunned silence. “You actually, like, have pants on, under your like, pants?” one finally asked, her face registering an interesting mixture of shock and alarm. “Like, I think my

grandpa calls this kind of thing—like, long johns,” said someone else. “That’s like, weird.” “Like, who wears stuff like that?” whispered another girl to a friend. Guess I was no different at that age (apart from the appalling over-use of the word like). I remember dad forcing me to wear Stanfield’s thermal underwear all through school. Man, I hated them! None of the cool kids seemed to have ‘em on—although, what did that have to do with me? I was never gonna be one of the cool kids anyway, long johns notwithstanding. Anyway, this is where the ugly rumour comes into play. Later that same day I came around a corner in the school hallway to overhear a muffled conversation between two teens. “Do you know what

File Photo happened outside at like, recess today?” one asked in muted tones of disgust. “I heard that Mrs. Toews was out there showing people her, like …,” he paused for dramatic effect, “underwear! Can you believe it?” “That’s sick,” said his friend, shaking his head in disbelief. It was at this point that I bounded onto the scene with a cry of protest.

“Hey!” I yelled, startling them both out of a year’s growth. “You bet I was showing off my underwear – long underwear that is. Otherwise known as patterned leggings and perfectly acceptable articles of clothing. Wanna see ‘em?” Lifting my pant leg once more, we all gazed at my ankle and the cheerfully checkered garment that had appeared.

“Oh Mrs. Toews, you’re crazy,” they laughed. Thank goodness I dispelled that nasty rumour before it took hold, and was able to stay warm in the bargain. A win-win situation. Give someone a smile this Christmas! Helen’s newly released books of humorous anecdotes are available at Amazon. Look for Prairie Wool Books or on her website at myprairiewool.com.

Cutting red tape in Alberta’s financial sector MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

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

The Alberta government is growing innovation and competition within the financial sector. If passed, Bill 44, the Financial Statutes Amendment Act, 2020, will update seven pieces of legislation to modernize and improve oversight of Alberta’s financial services sector. “Alberta’s government is committed to ensuring we have a competitive business environment to lead the country in economic recovery,” said Travis Toews, President of Treasury Board and Minister of Finance. “These changes will make it easier for financial services job creators to do business in Alberta, and were built in consultation with financial sec-

tor experts.” The changes will support Alberta’s commitment to cut red tape by allowing financial institutions to be more flexible and collaborative, while reducing redundant paperwork. Amendments also facilitate access to central bank liquidity for Alberta’s financial institutions and make information sharing easier during the pandemic. Bill highlights - ATB Financial Act: enables access to the Bank of Canada’s Standing Term Liquidity Facility and facilitates information sharing. - Credit Union Act: reduces the size of the Credit Union Deposit Guarantee Board by two directors, allows Alberta credit unions to conduct virtual general meetings

and makes it easier to share information and services. - Credit Union Amendment Act, 2016 (Amendment Act): repeals unproclaimed provisions. - Loan and Trust Corporations Act: allows the President of Treasury Board and Minister of Finance to dissolve unregistered corporations and enable more timely incorporation of new corporations in Alberta. - Local Authorities Capital Financing Act: allows the President of Treasury Board and Minister of Finance to provide emergency loans to select local authorities as necessary. - Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act: changes references to ATB Financial to align with its new legal name.

Together we stand strong MIDWEST MINUTE VERN McCLELLAND

So far in my real estate career, I have placed a value on over 120,000 acres of farmland, several thousand homes, both urban and rural, plus about 400 commercial properties and businesses. I enjoy the challenge. And a challenge it can be. Every property is unique, as is the story behind it. I like to say I look at each one through the eyes of a cold-hearted buyer, but really, that is not true. If you care about people, you will get a glimpse of the heritage which comes with each site. Take acreages and rural farmyards for example. If the trees in the shelterbelt are reaching maturity, then someone planted them with the intention of providing protection from the wind or shade from the hot sun for all those who lived within. It’s a work of love several decades in the making and a feeling of security as old as the Bible, for it says in scripture “they shall sit every man under his

File Photo fig tree and no one will make them afraid.” Most Realtors will tell you the best part of their job is helping first time home buyers. The look on a young person’s face when you give him or her the keys on possession day is priceless. Being asked to assist a business owner into retirement after 35 years of serving the community is a privilege. The phone rings and a young lady barely holding back tears asks if you can help sell the house which used to be a happy home for her and now ex-husband. You know the day will come when she will rebuild her life, but right now she just needs a steady support and professional advice. It has been a difficult six years in the Midwest for many who live here. First, the unend-

ing job losses in the energy sector, then the challenges of the pandemic. I believe our people and communities may bend but their spirit will not be broken like the small spruce seedling which manages to thrive despite adverse conditions. Once those roots take hold a great tree will grow providing security and beauty to all those who stand beside it. It may look bleak now, but better times are ahead. Dig in and plant yourself; together we will be a shelterbelt. Vern McClelland is an associate broker with RE/MAX of Lloydminster and an active partner in his family’s livestock operation.

Creating jobs with green tech MERIDIAN SOURCE STAFF

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

More emissions reduction projects will now be possible thanks to funding from the industry-supported Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) system and the federal Low Carbon Economy Leadership Fund (LCELF). The Alberta government is using up to $280 million from the TIER system and LCELF to fund three Emissions Reduction Alberta programs that will support around 5,000 jobs and cut an estimated 13 million tonnes of emissions by 2030 – the same as taking about four million cars off the road. “The TIER system is key to Alberta’s economic recovery, supporting projects that cut emissions, attract investment, keep industry competitive

and get Albertans back to work,” said Premier Jason Kenney. “This investment comes at a critical time when Alberta must be bold in driving economic recovery.” Up to $180 million from the TIER fund and up to $100 million from LCELF will support innovative projects for small, medium and large industries across all sectors in Alberta. Projects can include technologies like carbon capture, utilization and storage, industrial energy efficiency and geothermal to help facilities lower emissions, create investment opportunities and cut costs. Job creators can use energy savings to get more Albertans back to work. “We’re equipping our job creators with the resources they need to move forward on projects that reduce emissions, reduce costs,

and create good jobs,” said Minister of Environment and Parks Jason Nixon. “ Alber t a is a pr ovince of innovators, and I am proud that the TIER system continues to support our province’s leadership in emissions-reducing technology.” This program will use up to $150 million in TIER and LCELF funding to support a call for proposals for leading-edge technologies at large industrial sites to reduce emissions and create jobs. It is estimated to inject more than $500 million into Alberta’s economy when industry dollars are included. Projects could include industrial energy efficiency or carbon capture utilization and storage at sites like oil and gas, concrete or forestry and agriculture. Applications are now

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

The Lloydminster Art of Taekwondo and Kung Fu Club has moved to a new home. Eliza Ma, owner and coach of the martial arts institution, said their new locale at 4504 49th Street features a spring floor and 20-foot high ceilings allowing them to hold all beginner, intermediate, adult, kung fu

and weapons classes in-house. She said the move comes after spending the past 30 years at their previous location on 48th Street making the transition hard but also a hopeful push toward future growth. “I grew up there, it’s very odd to leave and it’s very bittersweet,” said Ma. “That had been my home for 25 years and

it’s where I’ve known them from. It’s a very weird feeling to leave a place realizing you’re never going to see it again.” Ma said their usual

practice of conducting kung fu and weapons classes in school gymnasiums wasn’t able to go ahead this fall due to COVID precautions leading them to finalize a decision to move. She said they were able to start back in the old basement club during mid-September while following safety guidelines including social distancing, teachers wearing masks

and having hand sanitizer available making them a bit luckier than some other sports that couldn’t return, but the need to have a large area for all their lessons still remained. “I’ve always wanted a space that I could make my own,” she said. “It’s very nice to move into a whole new space that you’ve made completely how you want it to be.”

The author in me SPORTS EDITOR JAMIE HARKINS

Dear readers, you may want to sit down for this announcement. Ok, ready? I have decided to write a book. After all, some people, though definitely not all, have told me I am somewhat skilled at my craft. And, following a decade or so writing about facts, maybe it’s time for some fiction. However, I don’t want to stray too far from the comfort zone. I’m going to write a book about hockey. It’ll be based on real players skating for a real team in a real league. Of course, all names will be changed and any similarities between the characters or events portrayed and the aforementioned real people would be entirely coincidental. There is big money to be made through the written word. At least, I think there is. People still read books right? Or, has Facebook killed that too? Anyway, it won’t be a memoir because I n e v e r pl a ye d . A nd , I don’t really want to

go the history route, considering everyone from Rod Pedersen to Stephen Harper has already travelled that path. Norm Park is going to be my guide. Park served as editor of the Estevan Mercury when I was its sports reporter before settling into the art of novel writing upon retirement. His book, a weird, wacky and wonderful science fiction tome called Tamaras, is

available for purchase on Amazon. There’s a plug for you, Parksey. I’m going to write a novel like John Grisham’s Playing for Pizza, which NK recommended to me back in the day. I finally got a chance to read it this past summer, but unlike Park I’m not sure about recommending it to anyone.

Playing for Pizza is about a down and out, literally, third-string NFL quarterback who gets a shot at redemption on the field and off in an Italian recreational league. If you’re searching for a light read that doesn’t require much thought, it’s right up your alley. Grisham travelled to Italy before writing the book to take in the scenery, including the rugby-turned-football Americano stadium, as well as interview coaches and players about their season. However, due to owning a bank account a few dimes short of Grisham’s, I’ll have to research and write about a team a little closer to home. So, it’s off to the Centennial Civic Centre for work on my first character sketch. I’ll start with Neville Debe, the local junior hockey team’s gruff cigar chomping coach.
