Casino construction site active
GEOFF LEE
WRITER
The Lloydminster Casino project dealt a full house to stakeholders and residents for an information update at the Wildrose Pavilion. The open house on Wednesday was hosted by the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA), the casino operator, Border Tribal Council, a development partner and Little Pine First Nation, the land owner and development partner. SIGA said it has received all required approvals with construction to proceed soon. About 100 people in attendance were told soil tests were already being conducted at the project site at southeast corner of 40 Ave. and Highway 16 on the Saskatchewan side of the city. “There is equipment right now out there, but that’s just to get the groundwork ready,” explained Little Pine First Nation chief Wayne Semaganis. The framing is already up for a first phase gas bar being constructed by a First Nations contractor from Kansas with the 31,000 sq. ft. casino to be tendered. “I want it to open in May,” Semaganis told the audience, but that’s not likely given the usual 14-16 months it took to build the previous six casinos operated by SIGA. “That is what I’d like to see, but that’s my wish, but the reality is we don’t know what kind of weather we’re going to get this winter.” Semaganis said he was excited to see the project underway following its approval by the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) earlier this year. “I was willing to bring my shovel out and start digging myself,” he joked. Semaganis was asked if he is concerned about a planned casino announced by Frog Lake First Nation in July for the Alberta side of the city. “That’s an Alberta gaming issue—you would have to talk to the Frog Lake chief,” he said. Semagamis was applauded at the meeting by Bob Merasty, vice chief of FSIN for his casino vision. For Semagamis, the potential revenue stream from the casino will help his band members become more self sufficient. “Little Pine economically, we’ll be able to provide better housing; we’ll be able to address the social issues that face my community, the family violence, the addictions,” he said.
“We don’t get enough funding to address those things—we don’t have to ask for any funding now. “We can do that ourselves with the revenue we generate.” Casino profits flow to the Province of Saskatchewan with a 50 per share to a First Nations Trust. Twenty five per cent funds Regional Community Development Corporations (CDC) in casino locations with 25 per cent going to provincial revenue coffers. The benefits that Semagamis sees from the $20-25 million construction cost of the casino could help to ease public fears of increased gambling addictions and other social problems in the city. “I am pretty sure Lloydminster knows the benefits that casinos bring because it’s all around us now,” said Semaganis. “I meet with the mayor and council quite a bit and they have funding issues too, because governments are hurting all over.” The CDC to be set up in Lloydminster will benefit local causes with casino funding. The amount that will go into the Lloydminster CDC as a corporate entity is contingent on the performance of the property according to SIGA president and CEO, Zane Hansen. Hansen said CDC funding would benefit both sides or our border city and that the Lloydminster casino will create about 140 jobs across the board. Hansen said SIGA will also have career fairs as the project moves along and that most employees would be looking to make Lloydminster their long term home. He too, downplayed any negativity a casino would bring to the community, citing SIGA’s 20 year track record in other communities. “As an operator, we pay attention to all aspects of our business,” said Hansen. “Go to the communities where we have been operating for 20 years—they have been very pleased to have us operating there.” SIGA also invests about $1.2 million annually in scholarship programs and they support many local organizations and events where they operate. Meanwhile, Hansen also noted SIGA is open to additional public consultations as the project moves forward. “We’ll do information sessions on employment and other opportunities and what type of corporate partner we’ll be in the community,” he said.

SO MUCH SELECTION Penny Walter had plenty of options when she hit the Sobeys market last Wednesday, but it was the cereal shelves and meat department that took the biggest dent from Walter’s $1,000 shopping spree.

Froot Loops and meats drive shopping spree GEOFF LEE
WRITER
The Walter family will be eating a mix of meat, dairy products and Froot Loops for the foreseeable future. Those were the three most popular food items in the grocery carts of Penny Walter at the conclusion of of a three minute shopping spree at Sobeys Wednesday. The local mom was the winner of a $1,000 shopping spree contest and fundraiser for the Lloydminster and Area Brain Injury Society (LABIS) in partnership with Sobeys. “Oh, it was awesome; a little nerve racking, but it was good,” said Walter who has two teenage sons at home and two kids at university. “I didn’t have flip flops on so that was good.” Her game plan was to high grade the meat department and raid the dairy and cereal shelves with time permitting. “I just looked for stuff I could use for my kids’ luncheon meats like hams and chicken and stuff like that,” said Walter.
The cart of Froot Loops was for one of her two teenage boys. “The one likes Froot Loops, but I was mainly meat, but like I’ve done enough meat, so I went down the cereal aisle,” she said. Her emotional reaction was captured on a GoPro camera attached to a shopping cart.
Rusteika, Sobeys manager. Rusteika noted the last two or three spree winners have shared their good fortune with others. “In this case, the customer graciously gave up $300 of her possible winnings in the spree to give back to three local schools which I think is just awesome,” he said.

Penny Walter donated part of her shopping spree to three local schools for their breakfast program “I was hoping it was facing the other way and not at me,” she said with a laugh. Walter started her spree with a $700 grocery cap after donating three $100 gift cards to Winston Churchill, E.S. Laird and Lloydminster Comprehensive schools for the their breakfast programs. “It’s a win-win situation—LABIS wins, the customer wins,” said Kevin

Rusteika explained the spree is a LABIS-led event with Sobeys as an equal cost sharing partner chipping in $500 for the expense. “What LABIS and I do is we will go and distribute a few empty carts throughout the store so once she fills one up, she grabs another empty cart and just keeps on going,”said Rusteika. “Nobody’s ever not made the cap
out.” Walter’s spree total came to $809.73 with Rusteika personally paying the extra amount above the $700 cap. This was the fifth annual $1,000 shopping contest run by LABIS that sold tickets at Sobeys for $5 each, raising about $5,000. Walter’s name was picked in a random draw by LABIS. “It was fantastic; it’s lots of fun and it’s incredible how fast three minutes will go,” said Michelle Neufeld, executive assistant of LABIS. Walter followed the advise of Labis to scope out where everything is at Sobeys ahead of time. “I came in once and just kind of walked around and saw where things were, but I knew I was going to the meat department,” said Walter. “It doesn’t take very long to spend $700 in the meat department.” Walter said the three minutes just flew by and her heart was racing as she piled on the goods. “You never know, it could be a fitness program—see how fast you can get your groceries,” she said.

Removing the stigma Pole fitness class offers more than just a workout, but a lesson in self-confidence JAIME POLMATEER
WRITER
If you’re sick of the same old gyms offering the same old workout routines then the girls at The Hourglass Factory might have something that’s right up your alley. Among the different exercise classes Hourglass has to offer, owner Amanda Sexsmith said one that’s gaining lots of popularity is pole fitness, which she compares to any other strength training program, but with a fun twist. “I decided to bring pole fitness in just because we didn’t offer it in town anywhere and I know that it’s big in a lot of other parts of the world, so I wanted to bring it to Lloydminster for a different way for people to have a fitness class, build confidence and feel sexy at the same time,� she said. Pole fitness involves using one’s own weight to do different pullup exercises and holds that can workout the entire body, with the convenience of only operating one piece of equipment—the pole. In each class, Sexsmith said the group focuses on stretching, strength
training and then sprinkle in some sensual dance routines for kicks. The class has levels from beginner to advanced, with each level involving a specific routine, and no matter which level, Sexsmith said girls walk away saying they’ve improved their self-assurance. “I had one girl say to me her husband really noticed a change in her confidence, she’s a lot more confident just from taking our classes,� she said. “The hard thing is getting people to be comfortable walking through the door; you might think it’s really intimidating, and everyone who does come to a class is like, ‘I’m so nervous,’ but we don’t judge here and we want everyone to feel comfortable, we just want to build up everyone’s self-esteem, and once people come through the door, they’re hooked.� Another thing people might find intimidating, or even attach a stigma to, is the pole itself, which is often associated with a certain form of adult entertainment.

Amanda Sexsmith, right, has been teaching pole fitness at The Hourglas Factory for a year and a half. She said the practice, which started thousands of years ago in China, offers a fun approach strength conditioning and helps build confidence. SUBMITTED PHOTO

POLE FITNESS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5
Sexsmith said its really hard to separate people’s association of pole fitness with stripping and insists they’re in no way strippers, nor are they in the business of training them. In fact, pole fitness originated in China thousands of years ago, under the name mallakhamb, and was a competitive sport started by men. “It spread to India and then everywhere else from there, and it wasn’t until the 1980s when Canada was the first (country) to bring fitness poles into strip clubs,” Sexsmith said. “I know people want to think that’s what it’s about, but it’s not, it’s truly a fitness class; yeah, we get some sensual movements, but we really want to separate the two, it’s been a hard fight to get people to see the difference, but once they’re here they get it.” Sexsmith got the idea after realizing she wanted a workout where she could use her gymnastics background, because once people reach a certain age, they can’t really go back to the gymnastics club because it’s mostly for children. Pole dancing is ideal for this, she said, and a lot of her clients who are former dancers and gymnasts pick it up right away because the exercise is similar to where they started from.
Clients at The Hourglass Factory learn different techniques using their own body weight to do pullups and strength conditioning. Pole fitness classes were not offered in Lloydminster, which inspired owner Amanda Sexsmith to bring the program to The Hourglass Factory. SUBMITTED PHOTO
She compares the program to dance class for adults, but with added benefits because of the strength and flexibility training that’s compressed into the one hour class. “I just thought it would be fun to offer Lloydminster something completely different from all the gyms and everything else that we have,” she said. “Plus you don’t have to have a certain body type to do this, everybody’s welcome.” Sexsmith encourages anyone who’s curious to go try it out and Hourglass also offers workshops and free classes because it’s such a new trend, they want people to be able to get an idea of what it’s all about before signing on. The Hourglass Factory also offers many other exercise programs beyond pole fitness, including its K.O. class, an intense cardio boxing workout; Below the Belt, which focuses on booty and leg toning; and a newer hybrid class called Polga, that’s a mix of pole fitness and yoga.
“ It’s a hard fight to get people to see the difference, but once they’re here, they get it. - Amanda Sexsmith

Breastfeeding league comes to Lloydminster at The Root on Oct. 1
GEOFF LEE
WRITER
A competitive breastfeeding league in Lloydminster will take on the world at The Root on Oct. 1. Lloydminster moms are expected to participate in this year’s Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge taking part at various sites across Canada and other countries on that day at exactly 11.a.m. The Lloydminster challenge will be hosted by the local La Leche League of Canada, a non profit international affiliated organization that promotes and supports breastfeeding. “It’s open to any breastfeeding mom and it is being put on by our local La Leche League group,” said Winona Morland, a league leader from BirthRite Lloydminster. “We’re hoping to have at least 25 or more moms, which would be nice.” This annual challenge aims to set a record for the most children breastfeeding at one time. In 2015, there were 4,016 children in seven countries at 161 sites taking part. The winners will be the registered site, region and country with the most breastfed children with recognition as the award. “It’s not really a prize that we would win,” Morland said, laughing. “It’s more letting people become aware of breastfeeding support in their community and just letting them know there is support and that it’s important to get help with breastfeeding.” This is the first time the Lloydminster league will take part since it participated a couple of years ago. “The last time we held it, we had about 25, so we would like to get more than that,” said Morland. The challenge, which takes place during World Breastfeeding Week in Canada, is one strategy to educate moms and communities about the advantages of breastfeeding. Morland says in Canada, 89 per cent of mothers start breastfeeding with that rate falling off to just 26 per cent after six months. Health Canada recommends exclusive breastfeeding of babies up to six months and then after that supplementary for two years or more along with the introduction of solid foods. “This is a normal part of mother
baby biology,” said Morland about breastfeeding. “We don’t like to say it’s best for babies; we like to say it’s normal for babies.” As a La Leche leader and pre natal educator, Morland provides one-on-one support for women in the community as well as running monthly meetings. Morland said she breastfed all five of her healthy children, three or whom have graduated from high school and moved on and two who are still at home. She says the advantages of continuing breastfeeding beyond six months is to help to continue to build immunity in the child to help give them a good start with food, with nutrition. “It just helps to build up their systems so they can be healthy and smart,” she said. Morland said there a lot of reasons why more women don’t breastfeed their infants beyond six months including a lack of pubic acceptance or support. “We provide a lot of mom to mom support in our group where other moms can help new moms, so we do a lot of encouragement, information and knowledge,” said Morland. She added some women have a good experience breastfeeding in public, but sometimes others encounter people telling them to cover up or go in the bathroom or they shouldn’t be doing that. “So I think a lot of it is just our cultural perspective—I just think it’s misinformation or not understanding or if you’ve never seen it,” said Morland. She said in Canada, it’s not as common as in other parts of the world to see women breastfeeding everywhere. “That’s one of the things we hope to promote, breastfeeding is normal,” she said. With about 1,700 births a year in Lloydminster the last few years, Morland hopes a lot of women will register to take part in the breastfeeding challenge either at home or at The Root. Registration begins at 10:30 a.m. with infants “latching on” for a breastfeeding at 11 a.m. “We have door prizes and all sort of things going on,” said Morland.

Changes and improvements needed to certain policies and procedures of Council and administration (was) identified and written requests to Council were respectfully submitted, dated Dec. 30, 2013, March 17, 2014, and Jan. 15, 2015. Very little changes happened. We re-visited some of those requests in a registered letter to council dated Aug. 12, 2016 asking them for review and response in regards to action that would be taken. Although this letter was also of municipal significance, addressed to council and should have been acknowledged and included in their council meeting agenda, they instead chose not to formally respond to the CVRTA. This is an affront to the county taxpayers whose requests were respectfully presented with the view that implementation would result in greater transparency to the benefit of Council, staff and taxpayers. Transparency has further deteriorated. Council meetings have largely been downsized to once a month; council meetings time spent on in-camera sessions—not open to the public— remains out of line and are frequently not sufficiently identified, as per government mandate, as to the reason. Still as of this date, there remains a notice on the CVR website that, as of June 3, 2016, council
minutes and agendas, Policy and Priorities Committee minutes, and Lloydminster and County Inter-municipal Liaison Committee minutes prior to 2016 are not posted due to technical difficulties, and frequently you cannot access any like information for 2016. In this new age of electronic communication it is inconceivable that the taxpayers who are paying the bills are being denied easy access to vital information about the workings of their county. Our councillors represent the taxpayers and residents of their respective divisions and there must be open communication back and forth so that they are not prevented from carrying out their duty to bring any concerns back to Council for consideration and appropriate action. There have been far too many layers of bureaucratic red tape added at the administration level. The above-referenced letters to CVR Council, and received response, may be found on our website at www.cvrtaxpayers.org. Indifferent governance, wherever it may be found, will use taxpayer complacency to push forward its’ own agenda. There are many things happening in the county that are of great importance to all of us as they affect our lives, businesses and tax burdens and we are being kept in the dark on too much of it. We urge you to add your voice, to demand from the county more openness and transparency from council and administration. The CVRTA may be reached at: County of Vermilion River Taxpayers Association, Box 1848, Lloydminster, Sask. S9V IN4, or by e-mail at cvrtaxpayers@gmail.com. —County of Vermilion River Taxpayers Association

Shelly Zimmerman Lloydminster I think the most important thing with the economic climate right now in Lloydminster, we have to do everything we can to encourage the industries within Lloyd. Everything that the City of Lloydminster can do to encourage new businesses and the strengthening of current businesses.
Brianne Ross Lloydminster Crime. My husband works at a local business that’s had several break-ins over the last few months, so I think that’s a pretty big issue. And the budget, that’s a big one. I think there needs to be more public input and more transparency, I think those are super, super important because there is a lot of money in this town and the people need to know where it’s being spent.
Jessica Lunny Lloydminster For me it would be the two casinos coming into town. I’m just apprehensive about what’s going to happen and how it’s going to work, the hiring and potential gambling and what not and how that’s going to affect our town.
Marilee Ference Lloydminster We need more economic growth and a way to encourage people to come back to our city with the downturn; we seem to be in a different little bubble here than most cities and we need to build that up again, get people back, because this is a wonderful city to make money in, to grow in, to raise a family in and to have business in.

Finding peace from within WRITER
Anyone looking for simple ways to enrich their lives and do more for themselves by finding solutions to everyday challenges may just be able to find the proper tools today. A representative from the Inner Peace Movement, a non-profit educational selfawareness program that’s been around more than 50 years, is giving a talk at the Chamber of Commerce that’s geared to anyone who seeks the light. “The talk that we give is an opportunity for people to see and understand the bigger picture of their lives here on planet earth,” said Donna Fuechtman, program director for the movement who’ll be speaking in Lloydminster. “The other things I’ll share on is our inner communication with ourselves, it’s not trying change anybody, it’s helping people to discover for themselves and to simply be the best they can be at whatever it is they want to be.” She added she finds a lot of people get themselves into trouble when they do what they “think” they should be doing, or should not be doing, instead of following what the movement calls a person’s true feelings or true direction. When a person deviates from their true direction to conform with society’s expectations, they become unfulfilled, said
Fuechtman, but when they navigate according to their true feelings, that’s where the joy comes from. “We just need to understand society is a system we live in and it’s there for our convenience,” she said. “Within society, we need rules and regulations, my neighbour needs to respect my rights and I need to respect my neighbours’ rights, but we don’t have to be controlled by them; it’s a means to help us discover more about who and what we really are and what our unique purpose is, not what society or other people think we should do.” Fuechtman said before she heard her first Inner Peace Movement lecture 35 years ago, she only had one perspective of life, and it was solely directed at her career. After the lecture she was able to see a bigger picture beyond the nine to five and two weeks vacation, or three meals a day and sleep. She was so affected by the presentation, in fact, that she signed up and began delivering the lectures herself in hopes of opening the eyes of anyone else she can. “I found that when I could find my own answers life became much more empowering; it was to discover more about myself and find my own answers and solutions,” she said. “It gives people an under-

Community rink affordability grant reaches five year milestone The Government of Saskatchewan is once again committing $1.7 million to the Community Rink Affordability Grant in 2016, the fifth year the grant program has been offered. “Our government believes in supporting community ice surfaces across Saskatchewan and we are proud to offer the Community Rink Affordability Grant for a fifth year,” Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Ken Cheveldayoff said. “Recreation is important to the people of the province, and this grant helps ensure that sports and recreation continue to contribute to the quality of life we enjoy in Saskatchewan.” Since launching in 2012, the four year granted total has surpassed $6.42 million. In 2015-16, the Community Rink Affordability Grant invested in 373 communities, supporting 633 ice surfaces across the province. Each year, the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association (SPRA) administers and delivers the program. “SPRA is proud to partner with the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport to administer the Community Rink Affordability Grant again in
2016,” Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association President Dawna Nielson said. “Curling rinks and ice arenas are the heart of Saskatchewan villages, towns and cities and are an essential gathering places for healthy, vibrant communities. With the Community Rink Affordability Grant, the Government of Saskatchewan is helping Saskatchewan communities keep these venues well-maintained and operated.” The Community Rink Affordability Grant provides funding to Saskatchewan’s communityowned indoor skating and curling rinks. Communities, schools, non-profits and First Nations are eligible to apply to the program. Successful applicants receive an annual grant of $2,500 per indoor ice surface. The grant may be used to offset the cost of rink operations and minor capital upgrades. To register for the Community Rink Affordability Grant program, please complete the online form found on the Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association’s website at www.spra.sk.ca/ crag. Applications are being accepted until Friday, December 16, 2016.

Seniors step up to walk challenge GEOFF LEE
WRITER
Active seniors at the Dr. James Hemstock residence in Lloydminster will be doing their best to improve their overall fitness and health this week. It’s Active Aging Week from Sept. 25 until Oct. 1 with all Hemstock locations in Canada participating in a special walk across Canada challenge. “Hemstock is owned by a company called Verve Senior Living, so the different sites are walking across Canada together,” said Amber Willis, marketing manager in Lloydminster. Lloydminster Hemstock seniors will complete the 546 kilometre leg with indoor and outdoor walks and different exercises that equate to kilometres. “This is the first time that we’ve done this, but it will probably be an annual event,” said Willis. Active Aging Week will touch on the five keys to active aging at Hemstock residences including emotional, intellectual, physical, social and spiritual wellness. A bean bag toss, a community nature walk, line dance lessons, healthy

cooking in residents’ suites and spiritual yoga, round out Active Aging Week activities. Only the most active of Hemstock’s 152 residents who are up to 95 years old are expected to take part in the walk to Regina. “They can keep track on their own pedometer or we
have a set distance set up inside and outside for them to keep track,” said Willis. They can also earn kilometres through an exercise program. “There’s a formula, so if they do a half an hour of exercise, it’s this far,” said Willis. Seniors who take part
in the walk to Regina will simply get the satisfaction of knowing they did it with no certificates or awards to be presented. “A lot of them are part of a walking club and participate in daily exercise, so it’s kind of a way to have a new goal and know that they’re working towards something
that’s kind of fun,” said Willis. Frequent exercise is a must-have for 66 year-old Gaye Hironaka who is in wheelchair. “If I don’t do my exercise and my body movements, everything’s going to stiffen up and then I’m going to lose it,” she said at the start of a group class. Hironaka practices a regular regime of stretching, range of motion exercises, some weight lifting and some just deep meditation and deep breathing. She also does some exercises on a computer for brain stimulation. “I want to keep moving and stay active both mentally and physically,” she said Ellie Day, who is 82, credits being physically fit with her recovery from hip and knee surgery with flying colours. She also attends group classes led by life enrichment manager Krysta Davies at Hemstock. “We do all kinds of bending and stretching and raising our arms as high as we can and tipping our bodies for back and shoulder strength,” said Day. As for walking across Canada, Day said, “If I could I sure would. I will try my best.”

Drive a Buick for E.S. Laird GEOFF LEE
WRITER
Honk if you want to help E.S. Laird Middle School raise up to $10,000 while test driving a new vehicle from Westridge Buick GMC. The second annual event organized by the Lloydminster Public School Division takes place at the school at 9 a.m. on Sept. 29 with the maximum amount in mind. E.S. Laird and Westridge have set a goal of 600 test drives this year to break the record of about 575 test drives in the 2015 fundraising benefit for Bishop Lloyd Middle School. “If we do 500 test drives we donate $20 per test drive and the school gets $10,000,” explained Jason Mills, the dealership sales manager at the program launch on Friday. “It’s a great chance for us to give back to the community and a great chance for us to get people driving our great products.” School principal Stacey Klisowsky is
over the moon as to what the donation will mean to her school. “This is an awesome opportunity for our school,” she said. “It allows us to provide other opportunities for our students that aren’t normally things we would be able to fund for.” The money will be used to create fun outdoor spaces for students to gather during lunch and break time to add to the school’s existing outdoor activities. “We are looking for some equipment as well and seating areas,” said Klisowsky. A student committee was put together to come up with the funding plans with sports equipment top of mind for soccer player, Hunter Daigle in Grade 8. “We need more outside school stuff like soccer balls and everything because most of it’s getting worn out,” he said. Danoe Messmer, also in Grade 8, thinks having different areas outdoors to lounge
about and having more sports equipment will motivate more kids to get involved in fresh air activities. “I’m excited and can’’t wait so we can hang outside with our friends,” said Messmer. The students are also urging their parents and teachers to test drive a new vehicle to fund raise the maximum amount of $10,000. According to Mills, that should not be a problem as Lloydminster was the No. 1 city in the test drive program in North America last year. “I think it’s a testament to how well the school runs the program,” he said. “It’s the school division that runs it and we just bring the cars and have the fun jobs.” The test drive will take place on a pre-planned route covering four or five city blocks. “Our whole Buick line up will be here and we’ll have a bunch of new GMC products,” said Mills. Klisowsky and her husband will be among the test drivers.

AM3492, Ext. 13, 66, & 67, and part of Parcel T, registered plan no. 69B07928 in exchange for: Block R, Plan AO2857, Extension 0 AFFECTED LAND: The proposed bylaw will affect land within the SE 25-51-26W3M registered plan no. AM3492, Ext. 13, 66, & 67, and part of Parcel T, registered plan no. 69B07928 and SE 25-51-26W3M Block R, Plan AO2857, Extension 0 within the Hamlet of Hillmond.

Don’t swipe the small stuff DOLLARS & SENSE JILL McKENZIE
In a recent New York Times article, researchers found that some infrequent and subtle reminders about the follies of credit card debt helped reduce the amount that people spent each month. Assuming that this would work for you, are you willing to make some changes in order to reduce your monthly spending? Do the math Check your monthly credit card statement to be sure that all charges are accurate. While doing so, add up all of the purchases you made for under $20 and consider if any of them were actually necessary. Could you have avoided those costs altogether? Might you have packed a lunch, brought a drink from home or resisted the temptation to splurge? Carry cash Experts agree that people are more reluctant to part with their cash money than they are to swipe a card. If you are having trouble paying your cards off in full or if you are surprised how much you spend in a month, try withdrawing your petty cash ahead of time. Use only cash for incidental purchases under $20 and, when your petty cash is gone, stop spending. If you find that you blow through a month’s cash too quickly, only withdraw what you need for a week and do your best to be more disciplined. You may find that you adjust to this system quite easily, but you will not notice results unless you get family members on board. Discuss the plan and allow each individual to have a bit to spend. Let them see how quickly their money disappears and make it a family goal to reduce the monthly expenditures. You may find that you make fewer stops and have more time once the whole family decides against small, unplanned purchases. Remember your goals Set a reminder on your phone, computer, or write it on the calendar, to check your credit card balances mid-month. This will refresh your memory as to how much money you already owe, and might help curb the impulse to
go spend more. If you haven’t already, calculate how much you will save by paying off your credit cards faster at http:// financialmentor.com/calculator/ debt-snowball-calculator. Jot down some goals that you would like to work towards and use your credit cards less as a way of meeting those targets. Shop once a week If you find that frequent trips to the grocery store often cost you more than you plan, set one designated grocery day and stick to it. Don’t stray from your list and shop only for the basics. Resist the urge to make quick stops for things you feel you can’t do without— but if you must, pay with cash for any purchases under $20. Bring drinks and snacks from home and do better at stocking up weekly-your budget will thank you. Need it be said that the drive thru is costing you more than it’s worth? Get in the habit of going straight home and eating what you have there. Make your groceries stretch—if you’re comfortable getting groceries four times a month, make it a goal to reduce that to three and track how much you save. Do an inventory of what you have on hand and get creative to use up food that might otherwise go to waste. Not every meal needs to be a gourmet feast. Ensure your family gets a nutritious, balanced meal while avoiding the temptation to buy take out. Again, if you find yourself grabbing a few extras, pay cash and don’t cheat on your petty cash limit for the month. The real cost of credit You may feel that it’s easy to put purchases on your credit card and forget about it, but consider the cost of paying 20 per cent interest on your gas station treats, phone apps, and window shopping splurges. Convince yourself that if you don’t have the cash in your pocket to buy it, you don’t need it. Save your credit card limit for a real family emergency and try to put those $20 bills back in your pocket to pay down debt, build your savings or invest in your child’s education. It might not feel like a big savings right now but combined, and over time, your self-control will lead you out of debt faster and into financial stability. They say it takes about 66 days to form new habits. If you start today—

HUNTING GUIDE 2016 From bullets to arrows JAIME POLMATEER
WRITER
For Erin McGladdery, hunting isn’t just a pass time, it’s a lifestyle. “You have to live it; there are good days and bad days, so you need to be out there for the right reasons and I think have the right ethics behind it,” she said. “My family was always hunting, growing up it was just what we did—when it was hunting season, that’s what we were doing, even before I was old enough to actually be hunting, I was riding along with my dad and brother.” Like most hunters, the 25-year-old started out shooting with a rifle, using common lead to take down her game, until she was 14 and got her first compound bow, which intrigued her enough to make it her weapon of choice. McGladdery was so taken by the bow, in fact, that it brought her into the world of target archery where she’s been crowned the Canadian
champion four times and is presently ranked number one in the country, all achieved in a span of just two years. “Hunting kind of opened up that opportunity for me,” McGladdery said. When it comes to using arrows over bullets there are a few challenges, one of which she said is the need for a closer range to the target. If hunting big game, the animal is usually at least 50 yards or closer, meaning the hunter has to pay more attention to detail, because the proximity to the target gives it the advantage of heightened senses of the hunter. But for someone as accurate as McGladdery, those advantages for the beast are still often moot. “I shot a black bear with my bow in June—I’d spent a few days in the stand, hunting with a good buddy of mine, and we saw lots of bears, but mostly I was waiting on one bear in particular,” she said. MCGLADDERY CONTINUED ON PAGE 18
Erin McGladdery has been hunting most of her life and at the age of 14 made the switch from the rifle to the compound bow. Now she’s won the Canadian championship in target archery four times and is ranked number one in the country. SUBMITTED PHOTO

HUNTING GUIDE 2016 “ My family was always hunting, growing up it was just what we did - Erin McGladdery MCGLADDERY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 17
“My days were running out in terms of time to hunt, so this boar came in with a hot sow and I had a great shot opportunity, so I took it and I made a great shot and it was a good bear.” For McGladdery, however, it’s not so much about the thrill of the kill as it is the opportunity to get outside and enjoy nature. She said the things she loves most about hunting are simply being outdoors in the elements and the experience of just being out there. In recounting her most memorable hunting moment, she explains the story of her first buck, which she took down on a frosty November evening with a Remington .308 at the age of 12, when she was out with her father. “I was with my dad and we had seen this white tailed buck several times during the season, but hadn’t got an opportunity (to shoot),” she
” said, excitedly relaying the memory.
“My dad picked me up from school, I would have been in Grade 6 I think, and we had the evening to hunt and I just remember my dad saying to me, ‘If we see this deer, this is the one, you’re going to get to shoot this one,’ and I did and it was just the best day ever.” This year, more than a decade later, McGladdery is hunting with an APA M34 compound bow, and although she considers deer her favourite game, she got her first ever moose tag and is hoping to take one down before the end of the season. But the season has been slow for the young hunter, with her kill count still at zero, though that hasn’t seemed to mess much with her determination as she still carries a tone of cautious optimism. “I’ve been after one buck in particular and he’s been not cooperating very well so far, but hopefully...”

HUNTING GUIDE 2016 Conservation club still going strong JAIME POLMATEER
WRITER
Times are good for the Lloydminster and District Fish and Game Association. The organization has completed some upgrades to both its indoor and outdoor ranges, membership is still up, and the group is looking forward to some if its staple events, like the Outdoor Sportsman and Gun Show and annual Family Wildlife and Awards Banquet, both of which take place in January. “We put in a tracking system in the indoor shooting range and it’s electronic, it moves the targets back and forth,” said president Dwayne Davison. “Previously we just had some benches we had to roll back and forth to control the yardages you want to shoot at, and now we can actually do it through electrical means.” Over the last year and a half the club also put up some outdoor shelters, cement pads and a sidewalk leading out to the parking lot and made the facility fully wheelchair accessible. As for membership, the organization has held more than 1,800 members over the past two years and
is looking at similar figures this year, making it the largest fish and game club in Saskatchewan. Davison, who’s been with the club for almost 20 years and held the presidential seat for roughly three, said the youth aspect is also a high priority and try to promote the younger generations’ involvement in everything the association does. “On the youth side of things, we have a youth activity day that’s held in June where we host four instructional events,” he said. “This year we had an outdoor camp set up to get some outdoor education, orienteering, and shooting pellet guns and archery all in one day, with four groups of kids who rotate through the four events.” The youth activity day was designed to teach kids outdoor responsibility and help increase youth interest in conservation. Davison said it’s amazing to see how the kids dial into it and how it succeeds in peaking their interest, especially kids who haven’t experienced such activities and are eager to learn. It’s important to involve youth early so they can grow up and take the reigns of the club, because it’s

organizations like the Lloydminster and District Fish and Game Association that really push for conservation in the area. “We’re kind of what you might call stewards of the land that’s been dedicated to habitat and we really support that notion both in physical work and financially whenever we can,” Davison said.
“We support habitat purchases through the Sask. Wildlife Federation and just monitor what’s going on in the conservation aspect; Sask. Wildlife Federation is the mother association we belong to as a club and they generate a lot of different programs to do with the outdoors and we certainly support that stuff.”

HUNTING GUIDE 2016 If they don’t have it, they’ll get it JAIME POLMATEER
WRITER
If you’re looking for a particular piece and can’t find it in store, the good folks at Prophet River Firearms will find it for you. Owner Clay Smiley and staff specialize in tearing down the borders when it comes to bringing guns in from around the world, so almost any unique firearm from any place on the globe is at your finger tips, even places notoriously difficult to order from like the United States. “Most of our product comes in from the States, although a lot of our high end stuff is European too, Spanish, Italian and British stuff,” said Smiley. “It’s not easy to get a firearm from the United States over into Canada; that’s one of the things we do is if somebody finds one in the States, something unique down there, they can buy it and we can get it here for them—not very many stores offer that service because it’s quite complicated getting the permits and stuff like that.” Smiley said the difficult part isn’t getting the pieces into Canada, it’s
getting the people in the U.S. to let them leave their borders. The Americans don’t like seeing guns leave their country and they worry where the firearms will end up, so he and his crew at Prophet River take on these headaches and cut through the red tape for customers. It takes time and money, he said, but they get it done. “Eighty per cent of our business is mail order, we ship almost everything out,” he said. “We don’t do that much stuff locally compared to the mail order because people from all across Canada are buying our stuff, because they can’t find it anywhere else.” That doesn’t mean Prophet River Firearms is hurting for in-store inventory, however, far from it. Close to 4,000 firearms can be found at the shop, which is located at 5012 50 Ave, Lloydminster, and much of the stock is rare, unique and higher end, stuff you can’t find in many of the other gun shops in the country Some examples are the side by side shot guns, semi-custom rifles, and a British Westley Richards side by side

rifle, which comes with a $120,000 U.S. sticker price. The store had also gone direct with a few vendors recently, like Remington and Weatherby, so it also carries a decent selection of those products. “I think, especially for local people, that it’s cool little old Lloydminster with 30,000 people has a store that carries very unique firearms they can’t even buy in Edmonton, Calgary or Toronto or anywhere else,” said Smiley. Prophet River started out as a different company back in the day, in 1994 when Smiley was doing website design for hunting and fishing outfitters. He eventually sold the contents of the company and 10 years later started importing and selling guns out of his house as a hobby under the
same name. Business became so good, the company moved into its current store front location and has been going strong for six years. “I was actually a math and physics teacher in Paradise Valley, but I alway liked firearms and I started bringing a few higher end ones in for myself and I thought, ‘Hey, maybe we should try and sell a couple of these, just as a hobby,’” he said. “And so we started it as a hobby in the evenings, just doing a couple here and there, and it quickly grew into a full time business.” So whether you’re looking for something common to shoot during hunting season, or seeking out that unique piece of your dreams, head down to Prophet River Firearms and they’ll make sure you find what you need.

Hunting a family affair MIKE D’AMOUR EDITOR
Kevin Lindskog is a long time hunter who said he doesn’t care if he ever again sights in a muley or whitetail. “When I first started hunting … it was the excitement of it,” he said. “But it got to the point where you say, ‘Man, if I pull the trigger on that moose, I have a crap load of work to do.” Lindskog said he simply lost his enthusiasm for the hunt. “If it wasn’t for my kids (both in their 30s), I might have given up hunting,” said the sales associate at Lloydminster’s Magnum Gun Outfitters. “They’ve been with me ever since they couldn’t make it through a foot of snow.” That—getting kids involved in the sport—says Lindskog and other
outdoors people, is the real joy of hunting. For Lindskog, it was no difficult task to get his kids involved with hunting. “They knew I hunted and every time I’d go out, they’d beg to come with me,” he recalled. “I didn’t force them or whatever—I would tell them as long as they could keep up with me and don’t complain because it’s too cold or whatever.” The dad of two adult children smiles when he recalls the early days. “Some days they’d really have to be biting their lips because there were some cold mornings,” he said. “But right off the get-go they both thoroughly enjoyed it and we kinda made it a little family tradition.” Lindskog said the fall time event became a year-round adventure for his family.

“Of course, hunting season always starts in Nov. 1 in Alberta, which is the day after Halloween, so my son my daughter and non-hunting wife would grab some Halloween candy, some Christmas oranges and just go out and toodle around stubble fields and back trails and stuff, sort of looking for deer—but the family was together, no one else was allowed to come.” Lindskog said the family would park in a pasture and eat Christmas oranges, shoot the breeze and eat candy. Even in the summer, on a nice Saturday or Sunday, the family takes a drive out to their favourite hunting places and walk bush and coulees and look for game trails and discuss where they might set up for the fall hunt. “First thing in the spring, we’ll go look for sheds (antlers shed by their respective ruminant owners) and we’ll walk miles and miles of bush and maybe get a couple of bush bunnies while we’re at it “To this day, we still do it, just the four of us,” said the hunter who expects to be a first-time granddad on Oct. 22. Lindskog’s excited at the prospect of teaching his unborn grandchild how to hunt. “For sure—my grandkid, y’know, six, seven years from now, if there’s interest there, I’ll take (him or her) out, too.” However, as with his own kids, safety will always be priority one. “Both my kids went through the hunter safety courses and both have their firearms licenses and have learned, over the years coming out with me, the dos and don’ts in the bush.”
Kevin Lindskog hopes to one day take his grandkids hunting to keep the family tradition alive.

has practiced with the bow or gun he or she plans to use. Don’t just put a gun in your child’s hand on the day of the hunt and expect him or her to make a good shot. • Shaming a child for feeling sad after a kill Children may feel a sense of sadness after a kill, and may even cry. When this happens, some adults will ignore or try to dismiss their child’s feelings, or they may even try to shame them for feeling sad. Use the opportunity to talk to your child about how hunting contributes to conservation, provides healthy meat for the table and is an opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors. • Pushing too hard to go hunt Not every child is going to want to go hunting, and that’s OK. Don’t force it. The more someone feels pushed into doing something, the less he or she will want to do it.
”
Don’t assume your child knows the ins and outs of hunting safety. Take the time to not only teach him or her about safety, but set an example by your own safe habits and behaviours. • Putting other goals ahead of fun If young kids don’t have fun the first couple of times they hunt, they won’t want to go back. Make a game out of identifying birds or trees, and collect leaves, rocks and other items to encourage learning and involvement. Let them bring along books, crayons, toys or even electronics to provide a bit of entertainment when the action slows down. • Being inadequately prepared Taking kids hunting with inadequate gear, food or drinks will ruin a hunt fast. Kids get hungry and thirsty more often than adults, and a rumbling tummy makes for a fussy kid. Drinks and food break the monotony, so bring plenty. • Expecting kids to shoot before they’re ready While there is no set minimum age for a child to shoot his or her first animal, it’s up to you to make a wise call as to when the child is ready. Let your child tell you when he or she wants to shoot an animal. Don’t push it. • Unintentionally setting up for failure If your child does want to try to shoot an animal, then make sure your child

On Deck Bobcats still winless
BACK ON THE ICE The Lloydminster Bobcats bantam AAA hockey team got their season started in the Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League over the weekend, spliting a pair of games with the Grande Prairie Storm.

Saturday’s season opener for the Lloydminster Bobcats bantam AAA hockey team wasn’t exactly how they drew up the game to go, let alone the first period. Lloydminster allowed three goals on 12 shots against the Grande Prairie Storm in a very unwarming welcome to the Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League (AMBHL). The Bobcats would settle in after the first period, giving up one more at the start of the third period, en route to a 4-0 loss, but Lloydminster put aside the opening day loss and rebounded on Sunday, earning a 3-1 victory in the early morning rematch with Grande Prairie. “Saturday you could tell the boys were a little nervous,” said Bobcats head coach Curtis Johnson. “They weren’t skating, a little bit scared, holding their sticks a little tight. The first period wasn’t the greatest down 3-0. We responded, guys calmed down and started to play a team game. The second and third was more like our hockey, it was just a little bit too late.” With lessons in hand for the second game, Seth Hebert redirected a A.J. Mcaulay shot in the second period for a Bobcats 1-0 lead. After the Storm tied the game on their own redirection midway
through the third period, Mcaulay would score the eventual game winner, while Brayden Oster added an empty net goal in the 3-1 victory. A more team generated effort resulted in a Bobcats victory, the exact style Johnson wants to see moving forward as he guides the young men through their first season of elite level AAA hockey. “It’s building blocks,” said Johnson. “It’s two games in and we’re not winning a championship right now. It’s about winning in Feburay and March. It’s just making sure guys are doing the little things right, guys are competing hard every shift and not getting too high or too low. The boys responded well and deserved to win.” Sunday’s victory was also Johnson’s first as a coach at the AAA level, as last season he coached the midget AA team. So much like his young roster, Johnson has plenty to learn about the elite level game and what his team is capable of in the early portion of the season. With plenty of inconsistency at the bantam level, Johnson said for the first part of the season it will be about trying to maintain a level of consistency and emotion, while not allowing highs and lows to dictate the pace of the Bobcats game. “It’s the toughest part of this age is
VS.
the consistency,” said Johnson. “But that is what makes kids great and what makes kids fall off the map a bit, so that’s the biggest thing for us coaches. And seeing what this league is about as it’s my first time being in bantam AAA. Everything is a learning experience and we’ll keep on learning from this.” The AMBHL is the first step for a young hockey player to realize his dream in the game, as this season will determine if he is a future Western Hockey League player or has some more work to do in midget. It’s the added challenge for Johnson, who not only has to worry about the product on the ice, finding roles for every member of the team, but also teaching them what it is to be a professional off the ice and in the game of hockey. “Character is a huge part,” said Johnson. “It’s all about the character in the dressing room. They know how to win and know how to respond and we’re trying to instill that in these guys on the ice and off the ice. It’s just teaching these kids how to be professionals. It’s their first time in elite hockey and it’s our job to pave the way for this stream of hockey for them. “It’s a big challenge for us, but we’re the building blocks for hopefully greater things for these kids.”
The Lloydminster Bobcats are still looking for their first victory of the season after a pair of losses over the weekend. On Friday night, the Bobcats were downed 5-1 by the Spruce Grove Saints, with former Bobcat Brett Smythe scoring a hat-trick against his old team. Lloydminster would make the long trip up to Fort McMurray on Saturday for a meeting with the Oil Barons, but they would be held off the scoreboard in a 5-0 loss. It moves the Bobcats to 0-5 on the season, the teams worst start since the 2012-13 season when they didn’t register a victory in their first nine games. The Bobcats will next play in the Alberta Junior Hockey League Showcase in Camrose, first taking on the Okotoks Oilers (3-1-0) on Sept. 30, before taking on the Calgary Mustangs (0-4-0) on Oct. 1.
Rustlers take first place
The Lakeland Rustlers men’s soccer team are on top of the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference (ACAC) South Division after a pair of victories over the weekend. Troy Trench had a two goal performance against the Olds College Broncos, scoring both goals in the first half, en route to a 3-0 victory on Saturday. He would add two more goals on Sunday when the Rustlers defeated the SAIT Trojans 3-1, leaping the Rustlers in front of SAIT in the standings and handing the Trojans their first loss of the year. Lakeland, with a 4-0-1 record, are a single point in front of SAIT for top spot in the South Division and five points back of Keyano College for top spot in the entire conference. Lakeland will be back at home on Saturday to take on the Red Deer Kings at 4 p.m. at VLA Fields.
Women Rustlers drop two
The Lakeland Rustlers women’s soccer team will need plenty of help if they want to make the playoffs this season, but first they will need to get in the win column. The women’s team, who lost to Olds College 3-0 on Saturday and SAIT 3-1 on Sunday, are 0-4-1 this season and in last place in the ACAC South Division with one point. Lakeland is eight points back of a playoff spot heading into this weekends match against Red Deer.

Tennis club in need of more space council to decide on.” If another four courts were added, Shopland said they would be full all the time, as non-members wouldn’t have to wait for a court to open, which could possibly encourage more people to join the LTA. But the LTA make due with what they have. They ran the 25th Paul Douglas tournament this year, as well as the 17th team tournament in early September, welcoming 27 players for a one day tournament. And until the snow finally falls on their season, the same players can be seen night after night at the Bud Miller courts, trying to get every last game in they can before they have to put their racquets away for the season. “We just have so much fun playing tennis and it’s nice to see everyone improve,” said Shopland. “We have such a good group of people who are so loyal and come out on a regular basis.”

NEW IN NEED The Lloydminster Tennis Association is in need of more courts in order to continue to grow, while also allowing non -members access to courts during times when the LTA is holding lessons and tournaments. ANDREW BRETHAUER LLS PHOTO ANDREW BRETHAUER
SPORTS EDITOR
Tennis players in Lloydminster are still getting on the courts for every last game they can before it starts to snow, which in the past has seen the Lloydminster Tennis Association (LTA) playing into October. But whether or not they get to keep serving and volleying for a few more weeks, the LTA is looking back on this past season as success, filled with multiple tournaments, successful classes for lessons and many new members joining over the season. However, they are reaching their limit in terms of how many new members and new tournaments they can have, as new courts still have yet to be constructed at Bud Miller All Seasons Park, despite numerous studies over the past decade that have said the city needs more courts. “We can’t make it any bigger,” said LTA president Rod Shopland. “We can’t do anything until we get some tennis courts in this town. We’re maxed out. We had 58 people in our Paul Douglas tournament this year, that’s about 18 too many. But we managed to play it out because we didn’t have a drop of rain.” Shopland said the LTA has been promised for years that they would be getting new courts, but every year that promise has gone unfulfilled, leaving the association with only the four current courts available. Meadow Lake, where members of the LTA play tournaments, have four courts of their own, but have a population of just over 5,000 people.
Luckily for the members of the LTA, limited rain during the spring and summer kept them on the court more often than not, allowing them to play throughout the weekend with limited interruptions. But it also limits how many courts are available for other players in Lloydminster, as the LTA during their lessons takes up three of the four courts, leaving non-members with only one court available during prime playing times. “We have been promised tennis courts over the years and they started on them a couple of times, but it just fell a part,” said Shopland. “We just can’t seem to get traction on it. I don’t know what the problem is. Last year it was cut out of the budget I guess because there was other priorities, and then this year I’ve been told the only way I’m going to get courts is through a decision of the new city council. “I guess the little bit of money for building tennis courts is too much for this existing

Since taking up competitive water-skiing 10 years ago, 23-year-old Kaitlyn Salzl-Borzel has been looking for a medal at nationals. She had been on the cusp a few times, finishing just off the podium last year. However, 2016 would prove to be her year, as she didn’t just jump up one place for a spot on the podium, she moved into the silver medal position, earning her first national medal after a decade on the water. “It was a pretty big achievement,” said SalzlBorzel. “I’ve been to quite a few nationals and it just made it worth the distance to go there and actually achieve something that has been a goal of mine for quite awhile.” Her silver came in the slalom races, an event she earned a silver medal at westerns in Saskatoon on July 29-31, before her national victory at Lake Shirley in Winnipeg from Aug. 3-7. A few weeks later, she added a gold to her impressive season of slalom racing, winning the provincial competition held again in Saskatoon, while also adding a fourth medal to her year total, a silver in women’s trick skiing. “(The season) went really well,” said Salzl-Borzel. “We had an early spring so we were out on the water a lot sooner. We had about an extra month because we were out in April this year. The early training really helped. It helped, too, with the conditions because most days it was kind of
windy and knowing the sites I would be going to for competitions would be windy, it was nice I got to train in windy conditions at home.” Salzl-Borzel, a member of the Bronson Forest Water Sports Club, wasn’t the only member of the Lloydminster based team to win at the national event. Michaela Gadsby brought home a bronze in the U17 women’s slalom race, while Hunter Hollerbaum was just off the podium in fourth place in U21 women’s slalom. Hollerbaum finished the year with a gold in slalom at provincials and westerns, as well as a gold in trick skiing. Brother Boyd Hollerbaum won three golds and a silver at westerns. In total, the club won nine medals at provincials, two at nationals and six at provincials. “It definitely was one of our better years,” said Salzl-Borzel. “I’ve seen a lot of improvement from a lot of people in our club. A lot of personal bests and new competitors going to nationals.” The small club, with eight competitive skiers and 15 members in total, helps train each other, as Salzl-Borzel said when skiers go off to other coaching lessons, they are good about bringing it back to the club and teaching the others the techniques they learned. “We’re pretty small, so we are really good about helping each other out,” said Salzl-Borzel. “Instead of sending people away for coaching and spending a lot of money, we’re really good at bringing it back and coaching each other.”

Producers making progress A dry and windy week has allowed producers to make significant harvest progress. Sixty per cent of the 2016 crop has been combined and 28 per cent is swathed or ready to straight-cut, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report. The five year (2011-2015) average for this time of year is 62 per cent combined. Regionally, harvest is furthest advanced in the southeast, where producers have 73 per cent of the crop in the bin. Sixty-six per cent of the crop is combined in the southwest, 53 per cent in the east-central region, 57 per cent in the west-central region, 54 per cent in the northeast and 48 per cent in the northwest. Ninety-seven per cent of field peas, 85 per cent of lentils, 57 per cent of durum, 56 per cent of spring wheat, 47 per cent of canola and 15 per cent of flax
have been combined. The majority of producers had good harvest weather for most of the week. Rain showers toward the end of the week stalled some field operations for a day or two, particularly in the central and northern regions. Precipitation ranged from nil to 89 mm in the Tramping Lake area. The Elfros area reported 18 mm, Rosthern and Unity 15 mm and Nipawin, Debden and Barthel 19 mm. Most other areas that reported rain received less than 12 mm for the week. Provincially, cropland topsoil moisture is rated as nine per cent surplus, 86 per cent adequate and five per cent short. Areas around Porcupine Plain, Tisdale and

Arborfield are getting some relief from excess moisture conditions; however, 36 per cent of cropland acres are reported to have surplus moisture at this time. In areas around Rosetown, Kindersley and Biggar, 21 per cent of cropland acres have surplus moisture. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as four per cent surplus, 84 per cent adequate, 11 per cent short and one per cent very short. Consistent moisture has resulted in good pasture growth throughout the growing season. Pasture conditions across the province are rated as seven per cent excellent, 70 per cent good, 21 per cent fair and two per cent poor. Strong winds blew some canola swaths around. Hail was reported in the Tantallon and Wynyard areas. Bleaching, sprouting, fusarium and earth tag are causing grade loss. Producers are busy harvesting, hauling bales and controlling weeds.

Remembering Whitney as time goes on. May 29,1987 - September 28, 2004
Who You’d Be Today Kenny Chesney Sunny days seem to hurt the most. I wear the pain like heavy coat. I feel you everywhere I go. I see your smile, I see your face, hear you laughin’ in the rain. I still can’t believe you’re gone. It ain’t fair: you died too young, Like the story that had just begun, But death tore the pages all away. God knows how I miss you, All the hell that I’ve been through, Just knowin’ no-one could take your place. An’ sometimes I wonder, Who’d you be today? Would you see the world? Would you chase your dreams?
Settle down with a family, I wonder what would you name your babies? Some days the sky’s so blue, I feel like I can talk to you, An’ I know it might sound crazy. It ain’t fair: you died too young, Like the story that had just begun, But death tore all the pages away. God knows how I miss you, All the hell that I’ve been through, Just knowin’ no-one could take your palce. An’ sometimes I wonder, Who you’d be today? Sunny days seem to hurt the most. I wear the pain like a heavy coat. The only thing that gives me hope. Is I know I’ll see you again some day.

1956 Chevrolet Belair Nomad The Nomad model of the Station Wagon was built as part of the Belair model line only. This US-only built vehicle left the factory with a 265 cubic inch in-line 6 cylinder engine and a 2-speed power glide automatic transmission. It has been modified and now is powered by a 383 stroker engine and a 350 automatic transmission. Power disc brakes have been added and the rear axle carries a factory posi-trac differential. The interior is customized and includes a console system and the exterior colors are near what the factory color originally was. The Nomad version of the station wagon more resembles the appearance of a hardtop than that of a regular station wagon. Only 8103 Nomads were produced, this is 0.5% of the 1,626,843 total of cars produced by Chevrolet in 1956. This vehicle was restored in the US over a 10 year period. It was then brought to Canada, and has resided here for the past 9 years.
