Sask. gov’t aims to balance budget despite deficit by Jaime Polmateer jaime@lloydminstersource.com
The Province of Saskatchewan has released its first quarter fiscal update with total revenue for 2015-16 forecasted at $14.04 billion, down $237.8 million from the budget. Total expense is forecasted at $14.33 billion, which is up $161 million from the budget, placing the projected deficit for the fiscal year at $292 million. Despite the deficit, Finance Minister Kevin Doherty said in a press release that the government will work to balance Saskatchewan’s books by the end of the year through careful management and restraint measures. “Our government has a strong track record of managing the province’s finances when challenged by volatility and we will meet the challenge again,” Doherty said. However, the Opposition NDP says there is no reason for the deficit and blames the government for putting the province in debt. In a news release, the NDP said it had no faith that the budget will be balanced by the end of the year, saying the current government talks a big game but rarely backs it up. “The Sask. Party has no excuses for the deficit
and debt position they’ve launched the Saskatchewan people into. This is a government that hasn’t been able to balance the books in the best years and through a historic run of unprecedented highs in revenues,” said Trent Wotherspoon, NDP deputy leader and finance critic. “These guys will sing a song and pretend all sorts of things. Even in all the years previous, the premier and the Sask. Party would pretend that they were going to be balancing the budget. They’d say ‘balance’ lots but the Lloydminster MLA reality at the end of Colleen Young each of those years were deficits verified by the independent provincial auditors.” Colleen Young, Saskatchewan Party MLA for Lloydminster and Treasury Board member, says

with the volatility of the oil and gas industry, worse than normal drought conditions and support given to battle the summer’s wildfires, that a bit of a deficit should be expected. All of these factors have taken a huge toll on the province, she says, and offered a bigger hit to the budget than the province would be used to in normal years. “We were committed to ensuring that people’s safety and lives were taken care of first and foremost,” she said of those affected by the fires. “That’s something that has affected our first quarter report, as well as farming conditions across this province. I think we know and understand there are pockets where there have been some extreme dry conditions but there’s also some flooding, believe it or not, and farmers have a loss of crop production this year that has to be dealt with. “So our crop insurance will be higher, our forest fire is higher than usual and the price of oil seems to either drop and fluctuate back up a bit but has not helped us in any way.” Young is also confident that the budget will be balanced by the end of the year regardless of the deficit shown in the fiscal update, but thinks there will be some challenges and says the province will have to get used to some fiscal restraint.

Red Bicycle Communications nominated for ABEX award by Jaime Polmateer jaime@lloydminstersource.com
The finalists for Saskatchewan’s 2015 ABEX awards have been announced and among them sits Lloydminster’s Red Bicycle Communications. The marketing company was nominated in the Young Entrepreneur of the Year category and is up against six other Saskatchewan businesses. The ABEX awards, which were started in 1984 by the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce, honour outstanding achievements and businesses excellence. Owner and creator of Red Bicycle, Jill Morrison, was excited when she learned she was up for the award. “When I found out I was over the moon about it,” she said. “It’s Red Bicycle owner very humbling and Jill Morrison quite an honour to be even nominated, so I was pretty thrilled to know I was a finalist for it.” Morrison, who is originally from Lloydminster, started out working for an advertising agency in Halifax, N.S. called Extreme Group. Her fiancee then got a job offer and they moved back home in 2013 but Morrison had already become accustomed to the agency life. She says she was nervous at the time because she wasn’t aware of marketing opportunities in Lloydminster so she decided to create her own business. Last year, she came up with Red Bicycle Communications and now has a good-sized client base within the Border City.
“Basically, what I’ll do for clients is I’ll work with either the existing marketing person within a business or I’ll help the owner or the general manager,” she said. “We work on strategies to find who the target audience is, how to identify them and how to communicate to them. Because there are obviously different languages you would use when speaking with a child (versus) a teenager, a 20-year-old or a senior. “Then we try to find a niche for them to make their marketing efforts really stand out. Anyone can have a storefront sign for example, that’s really important, but how can we talk to the people you actually want to talk to? Instead of saying, ‘I want every single person to come to my store.’” Some of Red Bicycle’s clients include Harvest to Home, the Lloydminster Region Health Foundation, Kings Energy Group and Habitat for Humanity Lloydminster Society. Morrison received her bachelor’s degree in management and marketing and social responsibility in Lethbridge and also earned another bachelor of arts for sociology and graphic design. She says she’s always known she wanted to be in the world of advertising and having a sociology background mixed with marketing has worked out well for her. The name Red Bicycle may also sound interesting to some and spark a curiosity as to the story behind it. Morrison says she wanted something that was fun and creative and that had a sense of freedom to it. “For me growing up it was riding my bike through the fields. I really enjoyed that sense of freedom and then just the imagination you have when you’re a child, how you can play and pretend anything. I wanted that to be reflected in the name and for me Red Bicycle does that.” The 2015 ABEX awards will take place on Oct. 24 at TCU Place in Saskatoon.
Midwest Furniture up for community award by Josef Jacobson josef@lloydminstersource.com
Lloydminster’s Midwest Furniture and Appliances is one of five finalists for the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce’s ABEX Award in the Community Cornerstone category. “We were extremely surprised and honoured obviously that something like that would come our way,” Midwest Furniture and Appliances co-owner Ken Lawrence said. “To hear that you are nominated and then especially to end up being one of the finalists was amazing.” The Community Cornerstone Achievement for Business Excellence Award recognizes a small business which has been in its community over 20 years, shows pride and support for its community and serves as an unofficial ambassador. Midwest Furniture and Appliances is up against Regina’s Bushwakker Brewing Company, Prince Albert’s Econo Timber Mart, Moose Jaw’s Hopkins
Dining Parlour and Saskatoon’s Saskatoon Funeral Homes. Lawrence says this is the first time his business has been up for an award from the Saskatchewan Chamber of Commerce. He says the local chamber voted to put Midwest Furniture and Appliances’ name forward. Lawrence says it’s impressive that his business has made it to the Community Cornerstone short list, considering the competition is from larger urban areas. “There are lots of businesses and lots of chamber members throughout Regina and Saskatoon and P.A., some of the bigger centres, and Lloydminster’s not that large when you compare them that way.” For its 29 years in existence, being an active member of the Lloydminster community has always been important, says Lawrence. He and his wife Elaine bought the business from the original owners a few years ago and have continued the tradition which was already in place. See “Midwest Furniture,” Page 9

The art of still life by Josef Jacobson josef@lloydminstersource.com

melia MacLauchlan sits at a table sewing up holes in a recently skinned badger pelt. She is preparing the hide to be mounted. “Just a couple more holes and then I’ll put the eyes in,” she said, weaving a wax-coated thread through the skin using a long, hooked needle. “That’s my favourite part.” MacLauchlan has been performing taxidermy for the last year and a half. Looming above her, the top-half of a bear reaches out serenely from its place on the wall. Elsewhere, taxidermied deer, raccoons and small mammals sit frozen in place while taxidermy equipment, hardware and bottles of paint and chemicals occupy most open spaces in her workshop. MacLauchlan has always been artistic. From a young age she would sketch, starting with a stick figure and then adding layers of detail. She soon started collecting and cleaning animal skulls to use as reference for proper anatomy and bone structure detail. She has had a similar interest in sewing, working as a seamstress and embroiderer before diving into taxidermy. She says measuring animal coats to be mounted is “kind of like making a dress for a bear.” “I never thought that I could just drop everything and become a taxidermist, and then I did,” she said. “I was always kind of curious about it, I was

always into skulls and learning about nature and drawing from real life so it kind of just all came together and I just loved it. MacLauchlan enrolled herself in a six-week course at the Penn School of Taxidermy in Calgary where she learned the basics of the trade. Since completing the program, she says she is constantly discovering new tricks and techniques. Now she sells her pieces out of her workshop in Kitscoty. “I’ve never in my life learned so much in such a short amount of time or wanted to learn more about something. When you get in there and you see how everything goes together, its just incredible. I just think its the 5402 - 51 ST, LLOYDMINSTER coolest thing,” she said.

mined. I just wanted to quit everything, open a taxidermy shop and do well and make people happy. People really appreciate it as an art form, especially when it’s something that they hunted and they have a connection to and shared a bond over. It just like motivates me to do better and do more.” After repairing and preparing her badger pelt, and with the skin in one piece, MacLauchlan moves on to her subject’s eyes. She carves some fine details into the face of the foam mannequin which will serve as her badger’s body. MacLauchlan uses clay to sculpt the badger’s eyebrow. She then takes two small, glass eyes and sets them using hot glue into the mannequin’s sockets. She glances at close-up images of badgers on her phone for reference. See “Taxidermy,” Page 11

Sask. NDP fights for whistleblower protection by Jaime Polmateer jaime@lloydminstersource.com
The Saskatchewan NDP party joined forces with the privacy commissioner to demand stronger legislation after the Office of the Premier released private information about a whistleblower who went public about poor conditions at a seniors home where he was employed. The privacy commissioner agrees with the Opposition party that safeguards need to be put in place to prevent Premier Brad Wall and his senior staff from doing something like this again. “This has been a real mess where we had the premier of the province, the highest office in Saskatchewan, with his righthand communications intentionally breaching the privacy of a health-care worker simply to drag his name through the mud and to score political points,” said NDP Leader Cam Broten. “And this was a whistleblower. Someone who raised concerns about what they saw firsthand. Completely unacceptable.” Broten says the privacy commissioner made a ruling on the subject but the premier got off the hook on a technicality. The NDP want the technicality removed so the privacy legislation applies to all levels of office
Cam Broten says premier purposefully “besmirched” outspoken careworker
because they say what happened was wrong and unfair to the health-care worker who had his information released. Peter Bowden, who worked at Oliver Lodge Special Care Home in Saskatoon, went to the legislature on March 30 to publicly complain about the conditions in which he worked. According to information obtained from the NDP party, Bowden said the care home was largely understaffed, which led to situations involving elderly residents laying in their soiled beds for hours at a time, crying because there was nobody there to help them. When Broten raised the case in the legislature that day he asked the premier for a promise that Bowden would not be fired for speaking out. And according to the NDP, the premier agreed at the time. Roughly a week later the premier’s executive director of communications sent a “flurry” of emails to media
all over the province revealing details from Bowden’s personal work file that said he was previously under investigation by his employers. “The gist of it is: Information was given to Mr. Wall that shouldn’t have been given and then he intentionally, through his right-hand communications person, shared private, confidential information about the employee with the media, in an attempt not to shed light on the story, but to simply besmirch the individual’s reputation,” said Broten. “They were things unrelated to the concerns being raised about the quality of care that he witnessed. As the privacy commissioner ruled and demonstrated, what Mr. Wall did was inappropriate and the real desire he had was to scare people about not wanting to speak out.” See “Privacy,” Page 9

From the turntable to the stage by Josef Jacobson josef@lloydminstersource.com
James Murdoch has been listening to the 1986 Paul Simon album Graceland all his life. “My mom had bought a CD player, and back then there were only three CDs that even existed and so it came with it,” the Edmonton musician said. “I (still) have the actual CD. The tabs kind of break off on the corners but it’s in great shape and the CD itself survived. It still plays, it doesn’t skip, so I would say considering it’s 30 years old it’s been pretty good.” For the past five years, Murdoch has been performing Graceland live, on-stage and in its entirety with his nine-member band, Going to Graceland. The group is bringing its show to the Vic Juba Community Theatre on Sept. 18 as part of the Lloydminster Concert Series. Going to Graceland features Murdoch on guitar and vocals along with guitarist Nathan Carroll, bassist Thom Golub, keyboardists Amber Bissonnette and Jason Kodie, drummer Chris Budnarchuk, percussionist Ben McNab, trumpeter Brock Tyler and saxophonist Laura Craig. The band members share vocals. Murdoch says he was careful about the musicians he approached to join the project, but the musicians he did turn to were enthusiastic and joined without hesitation. He says it took about a month of constant rehearsals to learn the album and the band strives to sound as faithful to the source material as possible. “It’s such a seminal and important record that most people are at least somewhat familiar with it,” Murdoch said. “Everyone really loves it and it’s obvious because we really love it too. The musicians on stage, we all have a great time and definitely feed off the energy of the audiences that we play for.” Although the album is nearly 30 years old, Murdoch says Graceland still sounds contemporary. Even the ‘80s-syle production, which Murdoch

admits could be considered “a little dated,” is coming back into modern pop music. “The thing about Graceland is the energy and people want to dance and it’s just one of those records that you can play from top to bottom and it captivates an audience,” Murdoch said. “Even when we do it in theatres some people end up getting up into the aisles and dancing.” Murdoch says he won’t be tiring of Graceland any time soon. For him, the album keeps getting better. “I still listen to the record all the time despite the fact that I’ve played the songs 100 times,” he said. “I definitely have a greater appreciation for the record. It’s almost like somehow being able to listen to your favourite record and sort of be inside it at the same time.”

Can’t forget safety this time of year
Opinion by Colin Budd colin@lloydminstersource.com
The tragic incident on a farm near Burstall, Sask. That claimed two lives certainly hits close to home for anyone who has been around agriculture. You can do everything for right so long but one little slip up in an industry where things can happen and it is life altering. It’s that time of year on the farm where everything is pushed to the maximum. While harvest is well ahead of schedule in many parts of the prairies we all know how a brush with some bad weather can push that progress well
behind. And as a consequence everyone moves faster and works tired to bring in the crop with the best possible quality. I can speak from experience that safety wasn’t always at the forefront. Hauling grain was always a race against the always filling combine and so much of what you do becomes second nature, it’s not hard to let it slide. And that’s without throwing in the complications that darkness can sometimes present. But it’s something I wish I had thought about more. While I can’t recall any near misses, it’s certain there were just because of not paying attention. It’s hard not to get caught up in everything this time of year. And while harvest was always my favourite part of the farming calendar (the first few days anyway), incidents like last week’s do bring to mind how serious it can be. Hope everyone out there is having a great harvest and stay safe.
COMMENTARY
Transparency act needs to stay: CTF
by Aaron Wudrick, federal director Canadian Taxpayers Federation
Imagine Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau promising to keep his salary a secret after being elected prime minister. It’s an unfair violation of privacy, he might say. It only serves to inflame negative stereotypes about overpaid politicians. And why should people in other countries be able to look up his prime ministerial salary on the Internet? Canadians would never accept that lack of transparency, yet that’s exactly what Trudeau wants to impose on First Nations communities. He has promised to repeal the First Nations Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA). Meanwhile, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair voted against the legislation, but has failed to make it clear what he will do if elected. The FNFTA is simple: it ensures Canadians living on reserves have access to the salaries paid to their elected chiefs and councils, as well as audited band financial statements. It’s the type of information that’s been a Google-search away for all other Canadians for years. One need not be a master political strategist to deduce Trudeau’s gambit: some First Nations politicians do not like this law and Trudeau hopes to earn their support by pledging to get rid of it. But if he is truly interested in looking out for the interests of First Nations people — and not simply pandering to a handful of obstructionist chiefs — he should consider how this law came into being in the first place. The FNFTA’s lineage can be traced to complaints brought forward by First Nations people themselves. Phyllis Sutherland from Peguis First Nation in Manitoba publicized information about dubious spending in her own community. As champions of transparency and accountability for politicians at all levels, we at the Canadian Taxpayers Federation were happy to assist in the effort, helping to ensure that First Nations people would finally have the same ability as all other Canadians to know something as simple as the salaries of their elected officials. First Nations leaders who make clumsy arguments that the FNFTA is “racist” or “unnecessary,” do so in the face of a Publisher: Reid Keebaugh General Manager: Kent Keebaugh Managing Editor: Colin Budd Sales Manager: Deanna Reschny Production Manager: Karrie Craig
number of very inconvenient facts. For example, the notion that First Nations politicians are being “singled out” for a form of draconian transparency is difficult to reconcile with the fact that the salaries of virtually all politicians at federal, provincial and municipal levels across Canada are already made public online for all the world to see. And revelations from First Nations that have come to light since the FNFTA became law, such as in the case of Chief Ron Giesbrecht of the Kwikwetlam First Nation in B.C. last year and the Semiahmoo First Nation more recently, greatly undermine any assertions that First Nations people “already have access to this information.” This information gap was best illustrated by Kwikwetlam band council member Joe Marvin when he said: “I want the public to know that the membership knew nothing about this. And if it wasn’t for this new transparency act, I don’t think we ever would have known.” Let that sink in: a member of the elected band council had no clue his chief had pocketed $800,000 of band money as part of a land deal until the FNFTA forced its exposure. Indeed, with a 98 per cent reporting compliance rate for 2013-14, it’s obvious that the FNFTA has been a resounding success. If anything, it should be expanded to include regional, provincial and national First Nations bodies. Far from inflaming negative stereotypes about First Nations, the FNFTA can actually help to fight them, by giving the large number of excellent chiefs and councillors clear facts to which they can point. Perhaps most importantly, it empowers First Nations people to make more informed decisions about their political leadership. It also allows them to engage on a more equal footing with all Canadians, which will help foster a more informed and fact-based public policy dialogue on all sides. Repealing the FNFTA would be a slap in the face to brave souls like Phyllis Sutherland and every other person from a First Nation who has spoken up and demanded accountability in their own communities. Trudeau should reconsider his ill-advised pledge. Mulcair should break his silence. Anyone wanting to be prime minister must commit to keeping the FNFTA in place.

Privacy
Trouble Hearing?
Continued from Page 6
Wall issued a press release in his own defence stating the government had legitimate reasons for disclosing the information to the public, however, he did also agree with the commissioner’s recommendations. “While I continue to believe that the disclosure of some information by my office was in the public interest, these events have shown there is a lack of clarity and understanding when it comes to when and how personal information can be collected and disclosed,� Wall said. “We will be working to improve that clarity and understanding through the commissioner’s recommendations.� The privacy commissioner ruled that it is illegal to reveal personal employment information of a person to the media and that it was, in fact, illegal for Bowden’s employer to share the information with the health region, which shared it with the health minister and then on to the premier. The NDP also say that when Bowden went to the legislature, his employment record was clean and they were able to confirm the fact with his union. Within a week of Bowden coming forward, though, he was being investigated for things the government claimed happened 10 years previous, according to the NDP. Bowden was subsequently dismissed from
Oliver Lodge in August. According to Wall, the reasons for his firing were completely unrelated to his complaints. “My understanding is the CEO of the region commented that the firing had nothing to do with him coming forward and that the firing occurred with cause related to events prior to him coming forward.� Wall said. According an NDP press release from Aug. 18, the privacy commissioner recommends that, “The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act should be amended to apply to the premier’s office and ministers’ offices. The commissioner notes that the premier and his ministers ‘are not exempt from society’s expectations that they protect personal information and personal health information.’ “(The privacy commissioner) also recommended amendments to The Public Interest Disclosure Act, to provide health-care workers with reasonable whistle-blower protection, as well as an update to the Overarching Personal Information Privacy Framework and a code of conduct.� The NDP said they support the commissioner’s recommendations and called on the government to commit to make the necessary changes during the fall session of the legislative assembly.

Taxidermy Continued from Page 4
A farmer found the animal on his land, shot it and gave the body to MacLauchlan. Because so many people in the area farm and hunt, it’s not usual for locals to offer animal carcasses even if they don’t want their prizes mounted. Next, MacLauchlan prepares to place the skin onto the mannequin’s body. She first applies a tanning oil to the hide before slipping the figure’s arms through. She says placing the skin is like dressing a small child in a snowsuit. She sews the pelt together down its back, like a corset, before finally turning her attention to the badger’s face. “Oh my God, he’s so cute, almost,” she says. The skin is still loose in areas, but by using small pins MacLauchlan is able to put the face in its place. When the hide dries it will tighten and more closely fit its foam form. MacLauchlan says that pursuing taxidermy has taught her to become a better person. She describes starting her business and devoting herself entirely
Lloydminster Heritage Estates
to her trade as “coming of age.” “It kind of made me get my (act) together and want to be good at something, which has never really happened to me before,” she said. “I was good at art and drawing and sewing before that, but it’s hard to make a career out of that and this is everything that I’ve ever been good at and I know that I’m naturally good at this. It just clicked with me when I first started doing it, so I can’t waste that opportunity, especially in this demographic (where many people hunt). I’m going to do a good job and push myself to be the best that I can be. It’s sweet because not many people get to have a job that they’re so passionate about, that changes them completely and gives them that motivation to improve themselves.” At this point, MacLauchlan mounts her nearly completed piece onto a wooden base. The badger still needs to dry out and have its pins removed before finally receiving a slight paint job in and around the sinus area. Over the course of a few hours, MacLauchlan has given her badger a second chance at life, reanimating what was once a still husk. The badger is now perched on a rock, surrounded by moss and tall grass. It has finally found its natural habitat.

assuretesting.com MEDICAL MARIJUANA:
How it Affects Your Workplace With legal medical marijuana prescriptions increasing, employers need to re-evaluate their workplace drug policies to accommodate medical marijuana use. It is critical for employers to develop a Jon Rokochy reasonable policy for prescription marijuana use, MA, SAE especially for workers in safety-sensitive positions. Medical marijuana must be treated the same as other impairment-causing prescribed medications, which are proven to affect an individuals’ ability to safely perform their duties on a work site. In Canada, employers must make all reasonable accommodations for employees who are impaired by medical marijuana. Employees using medical marijuana must still follow their workplace drug policies and respect the limitations of being able to perform their job functions safely. Letters of offer for safety-sensitive positions should include stipulations that employees who are prescribed any impairment-causing medications have a responsibility to disclose that information to their employer. Workplace drug testing has to strike a balance between the employee's right to privacy and the employer's duty to maintain a safe work environment. Before releasing a positive test result, Assure OT’s Medical Review Officer will investigate safety sensitive issues with our clients (where applicable). Should a donor have a valid explanation for the use of a drug, a positive lab test will be reported as MRO negative (unless your company policy states otherwise). However, an MRO negative determination does not necessarily mean it is safe for the employee to work in a safety-sensitive position. Employer’s Duty to Accommodate Human rights legislation dictates that employers cannot discriminate against an employee or applicant who has a disability. If your employee cannot perform their job safely given the medication they are using, there is still a duty to accommodate up to undue hardship. Your company may be required to move the employee to a position that is not safety-sensitive, or, if that is not possible, place the employee on leave until they can safely return to work.

WILL WOES: Avoiding Common Drafting Problems
Options for Ethical Investing From time to time we receive calls from clients inquiring into options available in “sociably responsible investing” (SRI). Sociably responsible investing marries traditional financial analysis with environmental, social government analysis. After 30 years in business, our firm prides itself on the research and due diligence we carry out for the recommendations we make to our clients. Discovering investment managers who not only invest alongside our clients, but also pursue investment opportunities in companies that combine strong financial performance with environmental, social, governance practices is an added benefit. As stated by one of the investment companies we use; “Ethical investing goes well beyond simply screening out companies that don’t match selection criteria. We continuously engage and work with many of the companies that we invest in to improve their practices and reduce the risks they face. Our ongoing attention to managing risks and responsible practices do more than simply help us create wealth for our investors, it helps us create a better world.”
In order for a Will to be valid in Alberta or Saskatchewan, it must be in writing and be signed by the person making the Will, who is called the Testator (a female Testator is referred to as a Testatrix, though it is increasingly common to refer to both a male or female as a Testator). There are two types of Wills that are legally recognized – a holograph Will and a formal Will. A holograph Will must be written entirely in the Testator’s own handwriting and is signed by the Testator without a witness or any other formalities. Any Will that does not meet the requirements of a holograph Will is considered a formal Will. To be valid, a formal Will must be in writing (they are typically typed) and be signed by the Testator in the presence of two or more witnesses. The witnesses must also sign the Will in the presence of the Testator, and it must be apparent that the Testator intended to give effect to the Will by signing it. Will kits containing typed clauses with blank spaces for Testators to fill in can pose problems with regard to the above requirements. First, this type of Will cannot be considered a holograph Will, even if the Testator fills in the blanks in his or her handwriting. Second, many people write and sign Wills from Will Kits without having witnesses present, which does not meet the requirements for a formal Will. Another common problem is having a beneficiary act as a witness, which will void the gift to this beneficiary. Estate planning today also includes consideration of tax issues, guardianship and trust creation for dependants, as well as additional family law considerations for blended families. In most, if not all cases, it is advisable to consult with a lawyer when preparing a Will, as the lawyer will be able to explain how to properly draft and execute the document.

Donna Schellenberg To The Core Pilates
Pilates Myth: You get to work out all day long! “You’re so lucky! You get to work out all day!” I hear it all the time. The assumption is that because I teach Pilates and do Personal Training everyday that I get to work out all the time as well. This couldn’t be further from the truth! I love what I do. I’ll often spend 8 or more hours a day with clients and then come home to read about Pilates, anatomy, or new research on exercise science/physiology because I truly enjoy it! It doesn’t seem like work because it’s my passion. So what do I spend my time doing? When I say I teach 30-40 hours a week that means I’m scheduled to work with clients for those hours. My client time is spent taking clients through all levels of workouts appropriate for their specific body. I’m watching my clients and paying attention to how they move and perform the exercises, as well as modifying them on the days they need it and challenging them more on the days we can. I’m teaching them to listen to their bodies and respect what they are being told. I’m correcting them to improve their strength, range of motion and flexibility. Occasionally I demonstrate to help teach an exercise but for the most part I am not exercising or working out with my clients. I use various methods to help people learn, keep them safe and keep them progressing toward their goals. My teaching time is truly dedicated to my clients. I am constantly giving my clients my time, energy, attention and knowledge for the time I am with them. It is an intense job that requires my own downtime to recharge and make myself a better instructor. Teaching time doesn’t include prep, tracking client progress, and the business side of the studio. So when do I work out? I’m just like everyone else. I fit in my workouts where I can into the framework of my day. This usually includes a Pilates session of my own, a quick Pilates Bootcamp session or simply a walk. Want to learn more about Pilates?

The advances in technology, however wonderful for what they have allowed us to do, are not the easiest medium for our eyes to always be focused on. Computer fonts and graphics are usually composed of pixels, which on the small scale our eyes will continually focus on each pixel. This can cause eye strain, fatigue, and headaches. A lot of jobs require constant work on the computer. As optometrists, we cannot tell you to ‘just not do it’. We advise a 20/20/20 rule. Every twenty minutes of computer work, we would like you to view an object at twenty feet for twenty seconds. This allows those focusing muscles a chance to relax. If you experience headaches or strain, consult with your optometrist. We can prescribe glasses suitable for the computer distance. We may also discuss the use of a blue filter in your lenses to help with the blue light that is emitted by computers. This light has been shown to interfere with your sleep cycle as well potentially create cataracts. There may also be a dry eye component, as our eyes do not blink as much when working on the computer. Technology is great, but we must be smart to ensure the health of our eyes.

SALUTE TO TRUCKING
National Trucking Week Sept. 2015
Sharing the road by Colin Budd colin@lloydminstersource.com
When the trucks stop, the economy stops. That’s what happens when 92 per cent of goods shipped in Saskatchewan and transported on the highways by the trucking industry. “Our drivers are working 24-7,” said Saskatchewan Trucking Association (STA) executive director Al Rosseker. With that amount of time on the road, safety is of the utmost importance for everyone involved. Road safety is everyone’s responsibility and in August the STA and SGI combined to put their focus on commercial driver safety. “Even though operators of large commercial vehicles aren’t at fault for the majority of the collisions they’re involved in, their sheer size and weight can cause massive destruction,” said Earl Cameron, vice-president of the Auto Fund. “It’s important that commercial drivers are alert and ensure their vehicles meet all safety requirements.” Commercial drivers should remember these tips to ensure they get to their destination safely: • Complete proper pre- and post-trip inspections to ensure your vehicle is in good operating condition. • Ensure your vehicle is within the allowed height and weight limits to prevent damaging roads, bridges and other infrastructure. • Signal well in advance when planning to turn or change lanes, especially turning right as you may have to swing wide into a second lane. • Hang up, buckle up and be alert to the actions of oncoming drivers and other drivers at intersections. • Pull over when feeling tired — it could truly be a matter of life or death. • If you’ve been driving for many years, review the Professional Driver’s Handbook to keep up with new laws and to refresh your memory on the responsibilities of a professional driver. But that safety is a two-way street. “We all have to share the road,” said Rosseker. “Everybody has to be really cognisant of the major differences between a car and a truck. I know that sounds simplistic, but large trucks take a lot longer to stop, they take a lot longer to turn, they take a lot longer to gain speed if they’re entering a highway or coming off an intersection. I think what happens is the automobile drivers have to be a little more in-tune with how different it is when you’re in proximity of a big truck.” On average 19 per cent of traffic fatalities in Saskatchewan involve a large commercial vehicle, even though they account for fewer than five per cent of the vehicles on the road. In 78 per cent of fatal crashes involving a large truck, the action taken by the driver of the other vehicle was the major factor contributing to the collision. See “Safety,” Page 15

National Trucking Week Sept. 2015
Keeping the momentum going Submitted by David Bradley President and CEO of the Canadian Trucking Alliance When I first proposed the idea of National Trucking Week (NTW) to the Canadian Trucking Alliance board and the provincial associations back in 1998, I was hoping it would take root and become somewhat entrenched in the industry. But I could never imagine the sort of momentum that would propel the nation-wide enthusiasm we’ve seen over the last 15 years. All across Canada, participation in employee appreciation events and public education and awareness initiatives during NTW continues to grow. But we can never forget that respect for our industry, and especially the hard-working men and women who drive our nation’s economy, shouldn’t end after this post-Labour Day celebration. Truth be told, I am

sensing some real progress on that front. The driver shortage is helping to
focus all participants in the supply chain on the impact professional truck drivers and all the other people
who support the movement of freight have on their businesses’ sustainability. I know for a fact that carriers and the more progressive of their customers are working in tandem to improve freight efficiency and productivity. There has never been such an intense focus on training, which will serve to further enhance the level of professionalism. The industry’s image is improving accordingly. The seeds have been planted and are beginning to sprout. But like the concept of NTW itself many years ago, what we need now is some nourishment and momentum from the trucking industry and the supply chain in general. I know it can be done. In the meantime, enjoy NTW 2015. Don’t forget to remind your employees how much they are truly appreciated and don’t be afraid to let your friends and colleagues know how great an industry trucking is.

Safety Continued from Page 13
Rosseker said many of the incidents occur when automobile drivers attempt to pass and realize they misjudge how long it would take to pass a truck, resulting in them having to cut quickly back in front of the large truck. “And, of course, our guys can’t stop that quickly,” he said. “You have to be really sure that you’re not going to cut in front of a truck too close, causing the truck to either have to brake hard and maybe jackknife or maybe smack into the back of the car. “It’s just courtesy. We’ve all made that mistake passing. You think, ‘OK, I have this judged pretty good,’ and you pull out and step on it for whatever reason you don’t seem to be going as fast as you want to and you think, ‘Holy mackerel, that guy must be coming really fast at me.’ You avoid an accident but it’s a little tighter than it should have been.” With Canadian Trucking Week taking place Sept. 6 to 13, it’s a good time for a reminder for everyone to be safe on the road. After all, with Canadian for-hire carriers moving over 225 billion tonne-kilometres of freight and more than 80 per cent of total tonnage shipper intra-provincially, there is going to be a lot of time spent together on the road. “Transport is a very important sector,” said Rosseker. “And we’re hoping that people who are maybe following our vehicles will give us a little more consideration and know that in the back of that truck might be the big TV set they are waiting for or cash for the bank machine. There is all kinds of things that trucks carry and it’s the most economical form of transport and freight. We bring stuff to your door.”

Chasetan Braid of the Saskatoon Blades and Brandon Baddock of the Edmonton Oil Kings were just two of the five former local hockey players to take part in Sunday’s Border Battle Western Hockey League preseason game.
Oil Kings win Border Battle
by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com
The Edmonton Oil Kings can lay claim to the Border Battle, despite not leading for a single second in Sunday night’s 4-3 overtime victory over the Saskatoon Blades on Sunday night at the Centennial Civic Centre. Trailing by two after the first period, Edmonton added two of their own to tie the game heading into the third period. It looked as if Lloydminster product Chasetan Braid would get the game winner for the Blades on his former rink, however Luke Bertolucci would spoil the homecoming with a late goal in the third, sending the game into an extra five minutes of overtime. And just 41 seconds in, Dario Meyer would be left alone all in front and beat Blades goalie Matt Kustra to give the Oil Kings the victory and the bragging rights in Canada’s border city.
“It was a little rough around the edges which is a part of exhibition season,” said Oil Kings head coach Steve Hamilton. “They were a pretty young team today and play an aggressive game. They accomplished what they wanted to do which was create a lot of havoc out there and they play hard. Our guys were at times, maybe not as sharp as we would have liked to have seen, but we are rounding ourselves into form.” While the night was a chance to bring Western Hockey League (WHL) action to Lloydminster, it was also a chance for five players to skate at the Civic Centre one last time before returning to Rexall Place in Edmonton or the SaskTel Centre in Saskatoon. In a special moment, former Lloydminster Bobcat Brandon Baddock was honoured with a Bobcats’ jersey prior to the game, as he played with the junior A club as a 16-year-old before making the jump to the WHL. He then lined up with

fellow Lloydminster players Andrew Koep and Kobe Mohr for the opening face off, and continued to play most of the game alongside fellow players who shared the same ice together at one point in their hockey careers. “It was pretty special coming back home,” said Baddock. “It was really special that the (Bobcats) took the time out. They are a classy organization to do something special like that for me.” The Oil Kings Lloydminster line didn’t fare well on the scoresheet, going a combined minus-6 in their return to the Civic Centre. But for the Blades, Braid got to hear the sound of the train horn one more time after redirecting a shot in the third period. “It seems like they come a lot easier in this rink,” said Braid. “It means a lot to get that goal early in the year. I didn’t have a lot of luck with Saskatoon last year with points, so hopefully I turn it around this year.” Braid was the only former player

to score on Sunday night, while his teammate Chase Wouters had a respectable showing as a 15-year-old, throwing his weight around in his first career WHL game. “There is no better feeling than that,” said Wouters. “It was a dream come true. Butterflies everywhere in my stomach. I couldn’t even imagine. The first couple of shifts they settled down, but then they kind of built back up between periods again.” The Border Battle sparked some healthy rivalries between the two WHL teams who are equal distance away from Lloydminster. And while the five local players each wanted to help their team bring the victory to their respective province, they also had to take some time to embrace where they were, as the ice at the Civic Centre was a special place for them just a short time ago and was the place where their WHL dreams began.

All-around victory for Barons by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com
Through the air, on the ground and even on defence, the Lloydminster Comprehensive Barons found a way for every position to get in on the scoring Thursday afternoon, as they cruised to a 60-0 victory over the Vegreville Vortex. Mitch Andony would get the lone score in the first quarter on a short run, in what would be a three-touchdown performance for the running back. The Barons would score five touchdowns in the second quarter, which included two touchdown passes from quarterback Kirk Haan to wide receiver Brennan Liebscher, while Dawson Guest would return an interception for a major score, and Dalyn Loewen would add another score from the ground, as the Barons led 43-0 at the half. They would add a single touchdown in the third quarter and Andony would cross the goal line for a third time, plus add a field goal kick, in the 60-0 final.

Mitch Andony scored three touchdowns on the ground in the Lloydminster Barons 60-0 victory over Vegreville.
“We played a really good game,” said Andony. “We played a really strong first half and didn’t give up any touchdowns on defence. But there is also improvement to be made.” The Week 1 victory sets the tone for the rest of the season in the Wheatland Football League (WFL) for the Barons, who last season were three points shy of a league championship. The victory over Vegreville not only puts the Barons in a confident position heading into the rest of the regular season schedule, but also tells the tale of how the team is structured early on, as head coach Aaron Harper expressed that he wanted a balanced team that could win multiple ways, and he got that performance from the entire squad. “We didn’t get to play a game in exhibition so we used this as a barometer of where we are at,” said Harper. “It’s big for confidence, but we will be careful to not get over-confident and to keep working hard and taking it day by day.”
Lloyd Comp will head on the road this week to St. Paul to play the Lions, who won their own Week 1 matchup 53-26 over Athabasca. The Lions were WFL champions in 2013, but had a rough season last year, finishing 2-5 in the regular season, en route to a Tier 2 consolation final victory. They have an experienced coaching staff and some talented athletes, so they should provide the Barons will their first test of the season. Coming off a 60-point victory, Harper said it is good to see his team still has areas to improve in and playing the Lions should help continue the early development on the team. “We do it with specials, we do it with defence and we do it with offence. If one of our groups has a bad day, then we can rely on the other ones to pick them up,” said Harper. “We are looking forward to seeing a really good football team at their place and putting our work boots on and going after it.”

The Holy Rosary Raiders continued from where they left off last season, earning a 46-0 victory over the Westlock Thunderbirds in Week 1 of the Wheatland Football League. by Andrew Brethauer andrew@lloydminstersource.com
The new no-huddle offence needed a bit of time to get out of the gate, but Holy Rosary’s defence shutout the Westlock Thunderbirds in their Week 1 Wheatland Football League (WFL) matchup, giving new quarterback Tommy Yanchuck plenty of time to get passed any first game jitters, and keep the Raiders perfect run of 13-straight victories alive. Yanchuck would connect with wide receiver Garret Kryzanowski for the game’s opening score, the first of two times the combination would connect for a major score. Justin Millar would break free in the first quarter for a 94-yard touchdown run, while Yanchuck would finish the first half with a quarterback keeper from the one-yard line for a 24-0 Raiders’ lead at the half. Liam Hayward would score on the opening kickoff of the second half, while on defence the Raiders would shut down the double-wing offence of the Thunderbirds. “We wanted to come out fast,” said Kryzanowski. “It was a little sloppy at the start but we got it going near the end. There
is no such thing as a perfect performance.” The victory is a good start for the Raiders from where they left off last November in the Alberta Bowl final. The 13-straight victories dates back to Week 1 of the 2014 season, where the Raiders went 9-0 in league play, including playoffs, before two provincial playoff victories before their Alberta championship. Head coach Vince Orieux said he saw a lot of growth from a younger Raiders squad over four quarters of football and decided to turn to a no-huddle offence this year simply because of the players he has on the roster and playing into their strengths. “You put things in to suit your personnel,” said Orieux. “I like to challenge our kids a bit and keep things fresh. That was one wrinkle we put in to change things up.” The chemistry between Yanchuck and Kryzanowski dates back to last season when the understudy quarterback got some reps in during the regular season and continued on into this past year’s midget football season where they connected as part of the Red Dogs for touchdowns in the end zone.
It gives Orieux a small chance to relax knowing he has an experienced combination on offence, which also includes a heavy running back core that rotated through many different players over four quarters of football. Despite the one-sided victory, Orieux said he was impressed with what Westlock brought to the game on Friday, as their program is made up of players who only have a few years of experience due to a lack of a minor football program, as compared to Holy Rosary, who benefits greatly from the Lloydminster Minor Football Association’s peewee and bantam programs that give players up to six years experience before they reach the high school level. “Their Grade 12s if they have been around for three years have three years of football experience,” said Orieux. “They hung in there pretty good for a half considering the amount of experience we have on our side. So we got work to do. It’s early, we got a lot of young guys out there and we’ll be all right.” Holy Rosary hosts the Bonnyville Voyageurs this Friday at 7 p.m.

Border Battle
Andrew Koep (left) of the Edmonton Oil Kings played on a line with fellow Lloydminster native Kobe Mohr (bottom left) during Sunday’s Border Battle. They played against another local player in Chase Wouters (bottom right) who suited up for the Saskatoon Blades in his first WHL game.
Continued from Page 17
“There was a lot of hype talking about who was going to win,” said Andrew Koep. “It’s always good to bring it to Alberta. It was a cool experience and probably something I won’t get to do again here in Lloydminster. You just have to embrace and take it all in.” While the game did mean a great deal to the five local players, it was still preseason, which means they are all still fighting for spots on their respective rosters. Wouters will return to Lloydminster for his midget season, while Koep and Braid will enter their second seasons in the WHL. And Baddock, who already has a Memorial Cup with the Oil Kings, still has one final season to go with the Oil Kings, depending on his NHL situation with the New Jersey Devils. For Kobe Mohr, Sunday night was another chance for him to showcase his talents and hopefully, as a 16-year-old, stick with the Oil Kings heading into the regular season, rather than being sent back to Lloydminster for another season of midget. “It’s a stepping stone, that’s for sure,” said Mohr. “I just got to keep building game after game and hopefully crack the roster. The more you play the more you get use to it and start to fit in. The game starts to slow down for you. The more you play, the more it feels right out there for you.”
