For the birds
Cooper Oliver is only four-years-old, but he’s already a chick magnet. Actually,
he’s playing with one of the many spring chicks his mother purchased to be
raised on their Lone Rock area property.
In the midst of the
devastating wildfires
currently
wreaking
havoc
on
Fort
McMurray, the folks
at Boundary Ford are
collecting donations
to help those being
evacuated.
Anyone who wants
to pitch in can go down
to the Boundary Ford
location on 50 Ave. and
load whatever they
can afford into one of
the cargo trailers set
up in the company’s
parking lot.
“We’re accepting any
donations, monetary,
or whatever,” said
Shelley
Mabbott,
administrative
assistant at the dealership.
“We’re hoping to fill
up a few trailers to get
up to Edmonton, that’s
where they’re starting
to send the evacuees.”
Mabbott said the
dealership hopes to fill
three or four trailers
with donations by
Friday morning at 10
a.m., when they’ll haul
them to Edmonton for
the displaced residents.
Aside from money,
people can bring in
clothing, dry goods,
toiletries,
blankets,
towels, toys for kids,
nonperishable goods,
flashlights, water and
almost anything else
they can think of,
Mabbott said.
She added Boundary
Ford staff jumped at
the chance to help, with
the number one reason
being the new owner,
Randy Westlake, lived
through the 2011
wildfires that swept
through Slave Lake,
making him especially
sympathetic to the
cause.
The reasons for
Boundary’s generosity extend beyond
one
man’s
first
hand
experiences
though, as Mabbott
said everyone of the
employees wanted to
do something to help
as quickly as possible.
“Everybody
has
been wanting to do
something, in the
middle of the night
one of the salesman
was
thinking
of
something, the dealer
principal wanted to
get something going,
so why wait? We got
right on it,” Mabbott
said.
“Let’s just stick
together and help
everybody out; a lot of
people in Lloyd work
up in Fort Mac, so we
just want to get going
and get some help up
there for everyone.”

Hello Trudeau — give us money
by Geoff Lee
[email protected]
The City of Lloydminster
hopes to yank the chain of Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau for
needed infrastructure funding in
a fun, low budget video production.
Trudeau, It’s Me, is a video
parody of Adele’s Hello the city
released Friday on YouTube
that’s
generating
several
thousand hits already.
“I was actually hoping first
thing this morning that I would
have a call from the PM, but I
imagine that he’s a pretty busy
guy” Kirk Morrison, the city’s
deputy CAO and lead singer and
actor in the video, said Monday.
“It would be pretty cool if
it reached the prime minister’s office and if nothing
else,
hopefully,
we’ve
drawn some attention to our
funding needs and can have
some productive conversations.”
The city is seeking Building
Canada funds from federal and
provincial components to pay
for a new mechanical wastewater treatment plant and a traffic
couplet.
“Trudeau can you save
me?’”sings Morrison on behalf
of the city in the four minute and
15 second video that features
lesser acting and singing roles
by other city staff.
Morrison said it cost just $393
to put the video together.
“I think the cost per view is
pretty low right now, so I think
that worked out really well,” he
said.
By contrast, the actual Adele
Hello video has generated
more than 1.4 billion hits since
November 2015.
Trudeau, It’s Me was also
Tweeted to Trudeau and
Saskatchewan
and
Alberta
premiers Brad Wall and Rachel
Notley.
“It’s a long shot, but we’ve got
to do whatever we can to tell our
story,” said Morrison.
He said if Trudeau could
grant the city one wish it would
actually be to visit Lloydminster
in person.
“We are a big player in the
heavy oil region and I think there
is certainly opportunity to invest
in Lloydminster,” said Morrison.
He added the city’s administration wants to position the
city for growth to support the
economic activity that happens
in the region.
Morrison explained the video
was the brainchild of the city’s

executive leadership team that
came up with the idea as an out
of the box way to ask for funding
help being a unique bi-provincial city.
The footage was shot over
three to four hours and produced
last Wednesday with a mixed
reaction since appearing on
YouTube.
“Certainly I think people are
excited that the city is trying
something different to tell our
story and try to get some grant
funding,” said Morrison.
“I think there’s been some
questions about the vocal ability
of the singing on there.”
If the fun video fails to get
a response from Trudeau,
Morrison said the city will
continue to lobby for infrastructure investments for a wastewater plant upgrades and the traffic
couplet.
“We continue on both of these
projects to look for funding
sources to make them happen,”
said Morrison.
“Certainly we’re going to be
discussing how we propose
constructing the waste water
treatment plant at our next Your
Voice night.”

The good, the sad and the vile
The beauty of the Europe is countered by war horrors still evident
Every year Lloydminster Comprehensive High School students travel with EF
Educational Tours. The Source’s student
columnist was among the 16 who went
abroad this year.
Following is her diary of the event.
by Marina Day
for the Source
March 23-March 24
Students met at the school at
midnight and drove to the airport
where we broke into two groups.
One group took a tour of Frankfurt,
Germany, before taking the final
flight to Berlin where all the students
came together.
At that point everyone was
exhausted so we had diner, met our
guide, Agnes, and called it a night.
March 25
This was the first full day in Europe.
We spent the day doing a bus tour
with lots of places to walk around
and take pictures with an incredibly
knowledgeable and humorous tour
guide.
We saw lots of the typical historic
sights, such as the Berlin wall, the
Olympic stadium, the Brandenburg
Gate, and Potsdam Palace.
We also saw a holocaust memorial
that looked like a collection of cement
blocks from the outside, but when
we walked between the blocks the
ground went lower and gradually
the blocks were towering all around
us.
While the Second World War sites
were both incredible and humbling,
our guide emphasized Germany is
not just a place for tourists to marvel
at the horrible acts committed by the
Nazi party.
Germany is one of the few countries
that acknowledges its horrible past
and faces it head on. Tourists should
realize Berlin, and all of Germany,
has so much more to offer than war
history.
March 26
We drove from Berlin to Dresden,
still in Germany, and visited the
palace and then had free time.
The buildings there were all
beautiful but my favorite part was
the currywurst.
It’s probably the best meal I’ve ever
had.
We then drove to Prague in the
Czech Republic.
Prague was, in one word, crowded.
The city itself was beautiful and I
loved the castle that we visited, but
it was difficult to traverse the busy
streets.
With the Easter market out there
were people all around and we had
to be careful of pickpockets.
March 27
I loved Easter in Prague.
When we went for a tour of the old
city square we could hear the Czech
hymns floating out of the church and
over the grounds.
Everything was done up for Easter
and everything was bright.
After we toured the area of Sir
Marina Day photo
The touring Lloydminster Comprehensive High School students made a stop
at the Berlin Olympic stadium, one of many sights seen be the traveling teens.
Charles’ palace, we crossed the
famous Charles Bridge and had free
time in the square.
Many of us went up towers and
took in the shops and Easter Market.
We only met up again to tour the
underground city.
March 28
A driving day from Prague to
Kraków, with one very powerful
stop—this was the day we toured
Auschwitz, the notorious concentration camp where at least 1.1 million
prisoners died, about 90 per cent of
them Jewish.
I thought I knew what to expect,
but you really can’t be ready.
I knew it would scare me and break
my heart, which it did, but there was
so much more that shocked me.
The most shocking was how close
the camp was to the city.
I knew Auschwitz was the name of
the city close by, but I hadn’t realized
it was right there.
I couldn’t imagine anyone being so
close to the devastation, or having to
come to accept what happed in their
own back yard.
Something else shocking was the
hair.

Concentration camps ‘terrifying’
Cont. from page 4
Auschwitz has been turned
into a museum and many
of the rooms are filled with
artifacts from the victims:
shoes,
suitcases,
baby’s
clothes, glasses, and human
hair.
Piles of it, tonnes of it, an
incomprehensible amount of
it.
The hair was used to make
blankets, of which there was
an example right beside a
mound of all colours of hair.
Then there was the gas
chamber.
You can feel the desperation in the tiny chamber and
can see the fingernail marks
on the wall where people
were trying to claw their way
out of the deadly rooms.
It was terrifying being
there—I can’t imagine what
the victims felt before their
end.
We left Auschwitz to go to
Auschwitz II, Birkenau.
This is the big one shown
on every movie with the
train coming in.
The Nazis tried to destroy
this camp at the end of the
war but they couldn’t get rid
of the sheer vastness of it.
Everywhere you look there
are the remains of barracks
and gas chambers.
I can’t say I enjoyed visiting
Auschwitz, but I recommend
it to anyone for the experience.
March 29
We spent the day in
Kraków,
Poland starting
with a bus tour where we
visited the Jewish quarter
and visited Oscar Schindler’s
factory.
Once we got off the bus we
took a walking tour of the
palace and the city square,
including a beautiful church.
After lunch we went to
the salt mines, which were
amazing.
Three-hundred
twentyseven meters below the
surface are sculptures made
of salt, a church hall that’s
still in use, and gift shops.
We could lick the walls
and they were pure salt.
March 30
This was a driving day but
it was cool to have breakfast
in Poland, lunch in Slovakia,
and supper in Hungary.
Thursday, March 31:
Budapest, Hungary, was
our tour guide’s home city,
so she was excited to show
us.
We started with a bus tour
where we visited hero square
and went to the palace overlooking the Danube River.
There was a nearby horse
farm where we went for a
show and supper.
The day was ended with a
beautiful night cruise of the
Danube.
Friday, April 1
This day we went to
Vienna and had some free
time where we could go to
an art, history, or modern
art museum, or the treasury,
library,
catacombs,
or
shopping center.
Saturday, April 2
This was our last bus tour,
followed by more free time
for what we couldn’t do the
day before.
We ended our last day in
Europe with an amazing
Strauss/Mozart concert. It
was a wonderful experience
that I would recommend to
anyone and I would go back
in a heartbeat.
It’s Speech and Hearing awareness month
The Government of Saskatchewan has proclaimed May as Speech
and Hearing Awareness Month to
promote understanding of hearing
disabilities, to increase awareness
of hearing loss prevention, and to
recognize organizations that support
individuals who are deaf, deafened
or hard of hearing.
“I am pleased to acknowledge the
great work of community-based
organizations in Saskatchewan who
support individuals with hearingrelated disabilities during Speech
and Hearing Awareness Month,”
Social Services Minister Donna
Harpauer said.
Saskatchewan Deaf and Hard of
Hearing Services (SDHHS) is a nonprofit organization that provides
support services and programs for
individuals with hearing disabilities,
including sign language interpreting,
computerized note-taking, vocational counseling, community service
assistance and access to technical
aids and assistive signaling devices.
“I am pleased that the Government
of Saskatchewan has proclaimed May
as Speech and Hearing Awareness
Month,” SDHHS executive director
Nairn Gillies said. “This proclamation helps focus
public attention on the issues associated with hearing loss. All provinces
need to implement universal
newborn hearing screening, and
early intervention to prevent severe
and costly developmental delays.”
Since 2007, the Government of
Saskatchewan invested more than
$2.7 billion to support people experiencing disabilities.
The 2015–16 Budget provided
more than $23 million to support the
inclusion of people with disabilities
in Saskatchewan.
Furthermore, a comprehensive
Disability Strategy was released
in June 2015. In December 2015,
Government announced its focus
on six priority areas: transportation,
respite, accessibility legislation, residential services, service co-ordina-
tion and navigation, and awareness/
understanding of the rights of people
experiencing disabilities.

There is an epidemic of Type 2 diabetes within the Aboriginal population and the Women Warriors want
people to have the facts and learn different ways to live with the disease.
Women Warriors raise
diabetes awareness
by Jaime Polmateer
[email protected]
Friday is National Aboriginal
Diabetes Awareness Day and
Women Warriors is hosting a
gathering at the Lloydminster
Native Friendship Centre with
guest speakers, vendors, activities with a side of free soup and
bannock.
“There’s an epidemic of Type
2 diabetes within the Aboriginal population,” said Shelley
Wiart, founder of Women
Warriors.
“So I am hosting vendors that
are all about holistic health and
we’re also doing some yoga
demonstrations, urban poling
demonstrations and I’m having
two very special guests.”
Those guests are speakers
Evelyn Linklater and Florence
Highway from the Saskatoon
Canadian Diabetes Association,
both of whom are Indigenous
women with Type 2 diabetes.
They’ll be sharing their experiences with those who come to
the event.
Wiart said they aren’t diabetes
educators, but do have a great
deal of first hand knowledge,
which makes them relevant to
the intended audience because
of the shared experiences they
have with the disease
Linklater and Highway will
be having their presentation
at 10:30 a.m. when they’ll
talk about some of the tools
diabetics use and extend information on blood sugar levels.
“There are a lot of barriers
for aboriginal people in the
medical system—first of all
there’s racism, so sometimes
(aboriginals) don’t want to
access the services that are
necessary, their diabetes goes
unchecked and it gets worse
and worse until it’s at a crisis
state,” said Wiart. “So they’re
just going to talk about their
own experiences and how to be
your own best advocate for in
the healthcare system.”
Attendees are also encouraged to check out the vendors
onsite like Mamata, natural
organic skin care, and Young
Essential Oils, which Wiart
said is great for people with
Type 2 diabetes because the oils
increase circulation is the legs.
Eating Tree Holistic Consulting Services will also be there
to offer nutrition counselling
and Midwest Food Resources,
who offer affordable fruits and
vegetables.
Then Pure Vibe Studios will
be doing a yoga demonstration.
Before lunch the Women
Warriors will be showing
people how to do urban poling,
or Nordic walking as it’s
sometimes called
“I do that in my program
every Saturday, we just want
people to come out and try it,”
Wiart said.
“I have 20 sets of poles and
you can come to the centre,
then at 11:30 I’m going to give
you poles and instruct you how
to do it, and we can go outside
and go for a walk before lunch.”
Wiart also wants people to
know the whole community
is welcome, as the event isn’t
just for Aboriginal people, and
she reminds everything at the
event is free.

The only thing viral about this video is the
way it makes you feel after you watch it
It’s a good probability most of you
have seen the video produced by
some city workers.
It’s a video set to Adele’s hit song,
Hello.
If you are one of the few Lloydminsterites who has not seen
Trudeau, It’s Me, I advise you to
keep it that way.
It is, in a word, terrible.
It’s in the basement of the bush
leagues.
From the dreadful singing to the
stilted performances, to the begging
message, it stinks.
It’s an embarrassment.
People in the vid are asking Prime
Minister Trudeau for infrastructure
money.
I’m telling you this because you,
like many others, may not have
been able to make it past the first 30

bad and at least they tried.
Seriously though, those same
people must be the ones who sit
through their nephew’s part in the
Christmas play with fixed smiles on
their faces and one eye on the clock.
Look, I have no doubt the city’s
deputy CAO, Kirk Morrison — the
rumoured producer behind this
horrible, vile production — is very
good at his job.
I actually applaud the attempt, but
once he saw the finished product,
Mr. Morrison would not have been
faulted for finding a shovel and
taking it to the back yard where
he could dig a very deep hole and
stuff the production deep into it
before putting the dirt back where it
belonged.
The we would never, ever have to
talk about it again.

Playing with the troops in mind
by Geoff Lee
[email protected]
The expected applause from the audience at the
Jic Juba Community Theatre could be met with a
shout out or song salute to the troops from international recording star John McDermott.
At some point onstage, the famous ScottishCanadian tenor will update his Lloydminster fans
on a his McDermott House Canada foundation
that’s as dear to his heart as his music.
The foundation has raised more than $2.5 million
of its $3.5 million goal to renovate and expand
the palliative care unit of the veterans’ wing at
Sunnybrook Hospital in Toronto.
“At one point, we like the audience to know
what we’re doing,” said McDermott.
“A lot of these people have sent in $2 or $5 over
the years to McDermott House and it’s because of
their support that we’re where we are.”
McDermott will be in Lloydminster May 26
championing his causes and his songs during his
Tradionally Yours tour with Scottish-Irish renditions from his album of the same name.
He’ll also be singing songs from his Raised on
Songs & Stories album released in December.
“There’s no breaks on it, it’s one track,” said
McDermott from his home in Ontario.
“In between each song, there’s a musical
interlude that connects the next song.”
The album includes songs his audience will
recognize although he noted he hasn’t performed
all of them live before on a tour.
“This will be the first time I’ve done them on
tours like The Rare Ould Times and Leezie Lindsay–
and certainly a tribute to Ronny Hynes,” he said,
referring to the popular Newfoundland singersongwriter who died last November.
Other songs from the album include The Bluebells
of Scotland and The Rose of Allendale.
“There will be certainly a tip of the hat to the
veterans with a couple of songs,” said McDermott.
As a youngster, McDermott moved with his
family from Scotland to Willowdale Ontario in
1965.
He said when he finished his first show at
Toronto’s Royal Alexandra Theatre his father told
him if he made it big in the business to give back to
Canada and its veterans.
“So I started my foundation four years ago,” he
said, true to his word as his success grew.
McDermott has gone to record many platinum,
double platinum and triple platinum albums and
received multiple Juno nominations.
He’s also known for his commitment to veterans’
causes.
He received the U.S. Congressional Medal of
Honour Society’s Bob Hope Award, among many
accolades for his work at home and abroad for
veterans.
McDermott’s dad was a tailgunner on a Lancaster
bomber in the Second World War.
His uncle Mick died as a prisoner of war in
Changi Singapore where the Japanese kept
prisoners who built the railway across the Bridge
over the River Kwai.
He said he also had a few cousins who were killed
in Vietnam to support his promise to assist vets.
McDermott said there are always veterans at his
show and he expects to see a few in Lloydminster.
He’ll let the audience know his next project for
our vets is to doing something to help raise funds
for palliative care hospices in Canada.
“They do work on a shoestring and they work
with a lot of volunteers,” he said.
That will probably earn him another thumbs up
from his fans along with his play list of his hits
such as Danny Boy and The Old Man.
“They seems to be the constant requests,” said
McDermott.
McDermott said he has also sung the national
anthem at two Blue Jays games in the last 10 years
and at a bunch of Toronto Maple Leafs hockey
games.
“I sing at Fenway when the Jays are in Boston
playing the Red Sox,” said McDermott.
“The Red Sox like the way I do the Canadian
anthem.
“I get an invite down there and I get an invite to
the Miami Dolphins.”
He’ll head to Lloydminster fresh from a tour
through British Columbia.
“The B.C. tour was great and a great response to
the new recording,” he said, noting his upcoming
tour will take him from Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta.
“I love the Prairies,” he said.
He added that last tine he was in Lloydminster
was about a year and-a-half ago.
His 2016 Lloydminster show will be supported
by Maury Lafoy, who plays keyboard and bass
vocal, and Jason Fowler who McDermott calls a
remarkable guitar player.
‘He’s also the fellow who does all the arrangements,” said McDermott.
Tickets to for the show are $44 to $47.50 each
available at www.shantero.com or www.johnmcdermott.com. Showtime is 7: 30 p.m.

Being very contrary in a terrible market
by Geoff Lee
[email protected]
Western Alliance Tubulars Ltd., majority owned
by Moosomin First Nation in Cochin, Saskatchewan is taking a contrarian outlook to the market
for oil and gas tubing and specialty products.
WAT has partnered with Victoria International
Tubulars (VIT) and is set to open a new manufacturing plant in Edmonton in anticipation of a
turnaround in the oil and gas industry next year.
“We’re either really smart or we’re really
dumb,” said Larry Kryska, president and CEO of
WAT, who calls the existing market for oil country
tubular goods (OCTG) as terrible.
“We’re contrarians to the market—you always
buy low and sell high.”
Kryska hopes WAT can mimic the success of
Husky Energy in the 70s after it was bought
by Chinese interests and saw rapid growth by
drilling during the downturn of the 80s when
others didn’t.
“We’re not expecting to get rich in our first year,”
said Kryska who believe things will turn around.
“Even now we have a little of business because
our product offering is quite unique to Canada.”
WAT’s partner VIT is a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Darun Jiangsu Shined Petroleum Equipment
Manufacturing Co. Ltd. that owns seamless pipe
manufacturing in China, Vietnam and Indonesia.
WAT will kickstart the manufacture of OTCG
and specialized products in the coming weeks.
“We are three to four weeks away from vacuum
insulated tubing manufacturing which is a specialized product not manufactured in Canada,” said
Kryska.
“It’s used in steam injection lines in steam
assisted gravity drainage or SAGD.”
Vacuum Insulated tubing reduces heat loss in
SAGD operations, reducing steam consumption;
therefore making wells more energy, time and
cost efficient.
WAT will target the North American market
with its products and services.
The first stage of the project is the manufacture
of about 20,000 metric tonnes a year of up to
seven-in outer diameter downhole and casing
tubulars and line pipe for process pipe used in
refineries.
The facility will also include production lines
of heat treatment, upsetting, threading, vacuum
insulated tubing when API certification is
achieved by the summer.
“People are going to Houston Texas and paying
exchange rates to have their pipe altered and we
NEWS

can do it here now,” said Kryska. “When things
turn around we are going to be in a very good
position.”
The
plant
will
also
provide
used
tubing
cleaning
and
repair
services.
The plant currently employs five Moosomin First
Nations trainees with a staff of about 17 and plans
to eventually include a consortium of other First
Nations in the business.
“In the future we could be working with
other First Nations and looking at something on
reserve,” said Kryska.
“But with the rates and lease rates and logistics,
it just made sense to do it in Edmonton which is a
bit of hub for manufacturing in Western Canada.
Kryska said for Moosomin, WAT is an investment
in their community located north of North Battleford.
“We’re hoping this proposal is going to see
community development in the form of schools,
not to mention the training that will be offered at
the facility for community members,” he said.
Kryska said he’s been working with importing
products and steel from Asia dating back before
2,000. “It’s not easy to keep the employment pool
going and keeping good employees, but there is
a lot of opportunity for First Nations communities,” said Kryska.

Health and fitness name of this game
by Jaime Polmateer
[email protected]
It’s almost time for the next
instalment of the Streetscapes
“Ring in Spring Downtown”
campaign and this time Health
and Fitness is the name of the
game.
Streetscapes
Destination
Downtown is teaming up with
Lloydminster
inMotion
to
set up some themed walking
routes that people can take
to enjoy different aspects of
downtown Lloydminster.
“Walks that are basically
timed out so people could
do them on their lunch hour;
they’re about 20 minutes and
they’re just going to have
different routes with different
kinds of scenery to see,” said
Lisa Allan, marketing assistant
and social media coordinator with the Lloydminster
Chamber of Commerce.
“That’s going to happen
Monday,
Wednesday
and
Friday and you can get the maps
for the routes at streetscapes.
ca.”
The first route is aimed at
people who may work in the
downtown and are looking for
a bit of a break from the daily
grind by enjoying some of the
greener areas.
This route, aptly titled the
“Quiet and Green walk,” will
take walkers to the quieter
parts of the neighbourhood,
away from 49 and 50 avenues,
so they can experience some
peace and quiet before heading
back to the office.
The second route is called
“The Mural Walk” and is
for people who may not get
downtown as often and aren’t
able to see some of the more
unique aspects of the area.
“So that walk takes you by
more of the murals and the
artwork that’s downtown as
well as places downtown where
you could purchase art to add
to your own collection if you
wanted to,” said Bonita Brick,
member of inMotion.
“That walk really keeps you
right along 49 and 50 avenues,
just a little bit down the back
alleys you wouldn’t see if you
were just driving by.”
The third route is the
“Window Shop Walk” and is
exactly as it sounds.
This 20 minute stroll takes
walkers by some of the stores
that lend themselves well to
window shopping, where they
can see some of the neat stuff
for sale downtown.
“Three different themes, so no
matter why you want to go out
for a walk—whether because
you’re coming downtown to
spend some time or you need
a break from your job—there’s
a route you could take,” said
Brick.
And as always, the week also
has some promotions from
downtown businesses that
relate to the theme.
Above is just one of several themed
walking routes in downtown
Lloydminster.
Oasis Hot Yoga Studio is
having a charitable class, where
a dollar from every entrance fee
goes to Habitat for Humanity.
The class is on May 13
beginning at 7 p.m.
The Collective Art Market
will be featuring some natural
healthcare products and local
handmade body care items
from Northern D’Light and
then on May 14 at 11 a.m.
Midwest Furniture is going to

choosing the proper mattress

KEEP IT
LOCAL
by Mark Cullen

You have a dream of an
amazing garden.
Perhaps, in your mind’s eye,
you can see plants loaded with
colour galore, others hanging
with fruit and vegetables in
abundance.
You see songbirds, butterflies
and hummingbirds calling in to
your place, choosing it as their
home this summer.
We all have these dreams.
And in my case, these dreams
are reality, though I would be
the first to admit that the season
never unfolds quite like I had
imagined it in the dreamy, snowfilled days of winter.
However, the disappointments
are always balanced off with
good surprises: Mother Nature
is like that, never predictable.
One thing that I can predict
is this: if you prepare the soil in
which you plant well, you are far
more likely to see your gardening
dreams become reality.
This is Composting Week in
Canada, what are you doing to
celebrate?
Me? I’m hauling in a truckload
of the good stuff and beginning
my planting season in earnest by
spreading it wherever I
am planting.
Why Compost?
Consider what compost
is: decomposed natural
material.
Your banana peels, egg
shells and coffee grounds
break down to a higher
purpose.
As they rot, they marry up with
over existing garden beds and
relaxing, you will allow the
myriad colonies of earthworms
in your yard to do their job:
they are the foot soldiers of the
garden.
Within about six weeks they’ll
have pulled the compost down
into the sub soil and converted it
into earthworm magic: castings.
3. Add castings.
other organic materials, water
and oxygen to become alive with
the most precious things in life:
microbes, beneficial bacteria,
insects (including earthworms)
and mycorrhiza.
Indeed, without the alchemy
of compost your garden would
languish in an inert soup of tired
medium.
Roots would not thrive and
the top portion of plants just sit
there, at best or die, at worst.
What to Do?
I remind you of the farmers
No. 1 rule: feed the soil.
All farmers, but organic
farmers in particular, know that
when they add nutrients to the
soil amazing things happen.
Seeds germinate, plants grow
and disease and insect infestations are minimized (no, they
don’t go away).
In short, the soil is to plants
what the dinner table is to
humans.
It is where they go to get life.
It is the first week of May, the
perfect time of year to prepare
for planting.
My top 5 soil
enhancement tips
1. Spread it deep.
Last year’s garden used up
much of the nutrition in the soil.
Now is the time to replenish
it with generous quantities of
finished compost. Compost from
your composting unit works,
but generally there is precious
little of it to show for all of your
trekking out there with kitchen
scraps.
Acquire quality compost by
the 20-kg bag at your favourite
garden retailer and look for
composted cattle or sheep
manure that is certified by the
Compost Quality Alliance.
Bio Max is the trade name and
this is the good stuff: it’s safer to
use than many other composts as
it has been properly composted,
or ‘cooked’.
Spread it 3- to 5-cm thick and
dig it in or…
2. Earth Worms.
Let the earthworms turn your
compost under the soil for you.
By merely spreading compost
For a long time earthworm
castings
were
considered
expensive and were hard to find.
A fishing-worm supplier in
Burlington has changed that and
now you can buy a 5 litre bag of
earthworm castings for about $8
at the hardware store.
I mix one part castings with
10 parts compost and the results
are undeniably much better than
without the earthworm castings.
This is garden magic: natural,
organic, full of microbes and
good for everything that grows.
4. Prepare the hole.
You will be digging holes for
larger plants that also require
soil preparation.
Dig the hole more wide than
deep as most roots spread horizontally.
A hole that’s three times as
wide as the root mass of the
plant and two times as deep is
perfect.
Back fill the hole with 2/3 soil
and 1/3 compost and a scoop
or two of worm castings, or
purchase a quality pre mixed
garden soil and add one part
worm castings to 10 parts new
soil. Do not backfill the hole
using the existing soil if it is clay.
If it’s of reasonable quality
to begin with, only add about
1/3 of it back into the hole by
volume.
Firm the soil mixture around
the roots with your foot (if it is a
big plant) or your hands if it is a
small one.
And finally, think of building
a house.
Would you do it without a
foundation?
Not here in Canada you
wouldn’t.
You should not build a garden
without proper—generous!—
soil preparation either.
Simple
as
that.
Happy Composting Week!

Province says play for fun and not for money
In tough economic times, it’s
not uncommon for individuals to dream about winning the
big cash prize or jackpot by
gambling on their favourite
activities. Albertans are reminded that
gambling is entertainment and
not a way to make money as
part of Responsible Gambling
Awareness Week running May
3-10.
Now in its 10th year, the week
is sponsored by the Alberta
Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) to raise awareness
of responsible gambling and the
availability of prevention and
treatment programs if gambling
becomes a problem.
“Responsible
Gambling
Awareness Week is part of
the AGLC’s commitment to
social responsibility to ensure
Albertans have the information
and resources to make informed
choices when participating in
gambling activities,” said Bill
Robinson, president and CEO,
of AGLC.
“With responsible gambling
programs
like
GameSense,
SMART Training programs, and
responsible gambling features on
machines, the AGLC is continuing its efforts to encourage
players to access information
that will help promote healthy
gaming behaviours.” The week
is promoted in Alberta’s casinos,
racing entertainment centres,
and vlt locations.
It highlights a number of
responsible gambling initiatives
that educate those involved in
gambling—both players and
gambling venue staff—about the
realities of gambling, including
the odds and randomness of
different games as well as the
myths and facts about the actual
costs of play.
Partners
in
Responsible
Gambling Awareness Week
include Alberta Health Services,
Alberta Health, the Alberta
Charitable Casino Operators, the
Alberta Hotel & Lodging Association, Restaurants Canada and
Bingo Alberta.

Give a little tough love to prevent car trouble
An ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure, goes the wise old maxim –
and many say that type of proactivity also
works wonders for keeping our prized
vehicles in top shape.
Auto experts agree, pointing out
that when a little tough love is applied
regularly in just the right places, drivers
are reducing the number of times their
vehicles are serviced.
Fewer servicing trips are a promise of
less disruption to our daily routines—and
less servicing, of course, will keep more
money in our pockets.
“The regular oil change is a good
example of preventive care,” says Gary
Bilski, chief engineer at Fram, a leading
brand in oil and air filters.
“All of us are aware of the ‘manufacturer ’s recommended maintenance
schedules, so if your intention is to get the
most out of today’s extended oil-change
interval be sure to use a quality filter so
you can drive with cleaner oil for more
kilometers.
Why is attention to the oil so important,
drivers ask?
Oil can become saturated with combustion by-products, mechanics point out,
potentially creating sludge buildup and
harmful, heat-produced varnish.
Periodic oil changes, therefore, plus
replacement filters, will clean up those
conditions and prolong the engine life.
Quick tips in tough conditions
“Stop and go traffic, extreme weather,
and towing are also hard on the engine
oil,” Bilski said.
No matter how often you drive in
demanding circumstances, remember
that stop-and-go traffic, towing another
car, and extreme weather conditions, put
extra stress on your vehicle and engine
and as such, oil and filter change should
be performed at the severe/special duty
cycle.
That means your maintenance services
will be slated more often than a normal
schedule recommends.
Also, do make sure all fluid levels are
checked regularly, says Bilski.

Don’t let an overloaded car send you packing this summer
(NC) More Canadians than ever before say they
would like to travel in Canada this year.
Will you be one of them? No matter whether it’s a
trip to the cottage or a scenic drive in the Rockies or
along the shores of the Atlantic, packing the car for a
road trip requires some advance planning.
“Prior to heading out on the road, it’s a good idea to
make sure you’ve checked your vehicle thoroughly
and that you have everything you need inside your
car and outside,” says Darryl Croft, automotive
maintenance expert at OK Tire.
“The peace of mind provided by knowing your car
is mechanically sound means that you can fully focus
on the trip ahead.”
Croft offers his best car-packing tips to ensure
everyone arrives at their final destination, happy and
safe:
1. Respect the vehicle’s load capacity. To make sure
you’re not over-packing the car and burning too
much gasoline, check how much weight your vehicle
can handle before you load it up. For most cars, this
information is printed on the door placard inside the
driver’s side door. In addition to saving on gas, you
may prevent a suspension issue from occurring that
could affect your car’s braking time and distance.
2. Maximize space. Storage space will vary
depending on the vehicle, but the general rule of
thumb is that the heaviest items should be placed
as far forward and as close to the floor as possible
in the cargo area. This will keep the car’s centre of
gravity low. Lighter items should be placed on top
and secured. Don’t forget to keep necessary items,
such as sweaters or diapers within easy reach. To free
up some extra space: an unrolled sleeping bag makes
for great cushioning, and a strategically placed cooler
in between backseat passengers can easily transform
into a card game table.
3. People management. Don’t forget to leave space
in the car and account for family members while
you’re packing up the luggage. People add weight
too, and depending on where you’ve packed bags,
boxes or coolers, where people sit will also impact
your gas consumption. If travelling with children,
consider where you’ll need to place car seats and
their weight in your calculations, as well as who
might need to sit up front to prevent car sickness and
who may want to sit together to partake in a good old
fashion game of ‘I Spy.’
4. Bring a roadside emergency kit. You never know
what is going to happen while on a road trip, so it is
best to be prepared for all possible scenarios to ensure
a happy vacation. Bring along a roadside emergency
kit that includes items to tackle some of the most
common challenges that can possibly go wrong, such
as: foam tire sealant, water bottle, jumper cables, duct
tape, tow rope, emergency light and/or flashlight, as
well as batteries and a multi-purpose tool.

Impaired
driving
is the traffic safety
spotlight for the month
of May.
Throughout
the
month, police across
the province will be
watching for drivers
under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
“It’s critical to always
plan a safe ride home,”
said Earl Cameron,
executive
vice-president of the Auto Fund.
“Before you go out,
make a plan for how
you will get home,” he
said.
“There are people
who count on you to
be there in their lives,
and other road users
also want to make it
home safe to their loved
ones.”
Impaired

in fatal collisions in
Saskatchewan. In 2014,
there were 1,147 crashes
involving alcohol or

If
you’re
planning
a
family
camping trip soon,
you’re part of the 62
per cent of Canadians
who may have already
started their summer
adventures.
Or perhaps, you still
need convincing?
Here are a few of the
best reasons, say enthusiasts, to take your
family camping this
summer:
• You’ll get out and
enjoy nature.
You deserve to soak
up some vitamin D after
enduring the Canadian
winter, so go breathe in
that fresh air.
• It’s a great way to
travel locally (and inexpensively) and get to
know the country you
call home.
There’s a lot of
natural beauty here, so
go looking for it.
• Teach your kids
some basic survival
skills.
While
you
hope
they’ll never need
them, it’s good to learn
how to cook a simple
meal, start a fire, and
be respectful of wildlife
habitats.
• Reconnect as a
family in the absence of
screens.
Technology is helpful,
but it can get in the way
of quality time.
Bring
a
camera
to capture the best
memories, and leave
the rest at home.

[email protected]
The
7th
annual
bi-provincial
Try-ATrade Career Expo has
come and gone with
long term message for
students to consider
the trades as a first
career option.
“Today we want
our young people to
understand that there
are some awesome
careers in the trades,
but also that a career
in the trades is a great
first choice option,”
said Paul Blankestijn.
He’s
from
the
Saskatchewan Apprenticeship and Trade
Certification Commission, one of several
exhibitors promoting
careers in 51 designated trades at the
event held at the Lloydminster
Exhibition
Grounds Wednesday.
Despite
the
downturn
in
the
economy Blankestijn
said
Saskatchewan
trades are still strong.
“We see a lot of
employers still valuing
training
for
their
apprentices,” he said
adding
retirements
are opening up new
opportunities
for
apprentices.
“Our baby boomers
are retiring and predictions show very clearly
in the next four to six
years, the demand
will be there regardless of how strong the
economy is because
of the thousands that
are retiring out of the
trades.”
This
year
more
than 1,400 students
from regional high
schools in Alberta
and
Saskatchewan,
less than previous
years, took in the trade
demos and exhibitors.
“The numbers are
down a little bit, but
actually we have some
newer schools coming
and with the general
public, we don’t know
how many we will get
in advance,” said lead
organizer
Dorothy
Carson,
executive
director of the Lloydminster Construction
Association, as school
busses rolled in.
Carson also noted
Reynolds
Plumbing
was one of the new
exhibitors at the show
that attracts a number
of new exhibitors each
year to keep it fresh.
“We’ve been trying
to get into it for the
past seven years, but
we were just busy
and now we are
not busy because of
the economy,” said
Reynolds’
owner,
Kelly Duriez.
He brought several
employees with him
to engage students
with some hands on
plumbing.
“We’re
going
to
show them some of
the basic skills that we
do every day—pipe
fitting, soldering, and
working with hand
tools,” said Duriez.
He
stressed
the
importance of using
your hands and tools
to get a feel for the
trade. “If you don’t
get a chance to try it
you may never know
how to do it, so we
want these kids to be
to able to try this out
and get a hands on
experience.” Craftex
Builders brought back
their popular wooden
puzzle that journey-
man carpenter Steven
Hickman
explained
demonstrates the basic
principles of framing
in very a simple way.
“It gives a demonstration
of
how
framing members go
together and to give
them an idea of the
process you would go
through if you were to
build a wall,” he said.
The
interactive puzzle allows
Hickman to speak with
students about apprenticeship training.
“I just finished my
apprenticeship,
so
I feel I am a good
fit if they have any
questions about the
trade or the schooling
part of the trade,” he
said at his booth.
Hickman graduated
from
Lethbridge
College.
One of the things he
told students is that
if you work with a
company from the start
of your apprenticeship
like he has, they try to
keep you on and keep
you busy even though
it’s a slow time in the
economy.
“They train you so
they want to keep
you,” he said.

Help Canada to grow
a Graduation Nation
(NC) While many of us think of Canada
as a wealthy country, for too many, poverty
still remains an unsolved problem. One in
seven Canadians live below the poverty line,
according to Statistics Canada. While the issue
is complex, the fight against poverty is closely
linked to education. Would you like to make a
difference?
Pathways to Education is a charitable organization that works with low-income communities across the country to help youth graduate
from high school. According to Pathways,
students are up to five times more likely to drop
out of high school if they live in a low-income
community.
Sue Gillespie, the organization’s president
and CEO, said the cumulative effects of students
dropping out of high school are far reaching.
“The education gap affects everyone –
students, communities, and Canada as a whole,”
she points out, “and the social and economic
consequences for society are significant.”
There are numerous societal benefits in
supporting education and in helping students
graduate from high school, like these:

For the fifth year, the Lloydminster Exhibition will be the
site for the interactive, hands-on
Lloydminster Progressive Agriculture Safety Day® presented
by the Lloydminster Agricultural Exhibition Association
and ADM Agri- Industries
Company. The goal of the program is to
educate fourth and fifth grade
students about the importance
of agricultural and outdoor
safety practices, as well as living
a healthy lifestyle. The basis for this program is
provided by the Progressive
Agriculture Foundation, in
conjunction with the Canadian
Agricultural Safety Association
Agriculture
leaders
and
volunteers from the community
will help educate children on
crucial farm safety topics.
Progressive
Agriculture
Safety Day covers more than 25
different subject areas, ranging
from animal and grain safety
to healthy lifestyles and hidden
hazards on the farm.
The Lloydminster event will
be held on May 10 with the
support of SAASE, the Government of Saskatchewan Ministry
of Agriculture, Farm Credit
Canada, Canadian Initiative
Fund, and Viterra.
It’s expected 500 children will
be participating in the one day
program. Agriculture
Progressive
Safety Day® was created in
response to the many tragic
farm-related injuries and deaths
that occur each year; most of
these accidents could have been
prevented by following simple
safety precautions. The Lloydminster Agricultural Exhibition
Association is a community
based organization serving
Lloydminster and area since
1904. The Lloydminster Agricultural Exhibition Association
exists to enhance both the agri-
cultural and urban communities, by providing facilities and
resources for the development
and conducting of business,
education, social and recreation
activities throughout the year.
For more than a century,
the people of Archer Daniels
Midland Company (NYSE:
ADM) have transformed crops
into products that serve the vital
needs of a growing world.
Today, we’re one of the
world’s largest agricultural
processors and food ingredient
providers, with more than 32,300
employees serving customers in
more than 160 countries.
With a global value chain that
includes 428 crop procurement
locations, 280 ingredient manufacturing facilities, 39 innovation centers and the world’s
premier crop transportation
network; we connect the harvest
to the home, making products
for food, animal feed, industrial
and energy uses.

You can find joy after a stroke
(NC) Stroke inflicts varying degrees of lifestyle
changes, impairments and challenges for over
400,000 Canadians each year. The uphill battle faced
by stroke patients is different for each survivor,
however with the help of specialized medical
professionals in the field, the path to recovery is
made smoother.
Dr. Tania Henriques, a rehabilitation physician
based in Burlington, Ontario, recognizes the
commonality of stroke today and has dedicated
her life to helping patients come to terms with
lingering impairments.
“In a multi-faceted approach, a patient’s compre-
hensive history is recorded before assessing the
diversity of possible issues,” she explains. “After
a stroke, we can’t predict how greatly affected or
disabled a patient will be until we’ve understood
their goals, lifestyles and aspirations.”
Both basic and instrumental activities of daily
living are impacted differently in stroke survivors.
The quality of life for a pianist will suffer immensely
after showing signs of even mild finger weakness
or tightness. This patient’s joy found in playing
the piano is removed, and medical professionals
are left to determine a course of treatment to bring
back that joy in some capacity. Patients’ life aspi-
rations matter as treatment plans will cater to the
individual, not just to the disease.
“We need to make more physicians, nurses and
Personal Support Workers aware of the delayed
onset of limb spasticity and the coinciding resources
and specialists now available,” says Dr. Henriques.
For limb spasticity, be sure to consult your
physician since there are medications such as
muscle relaxants, benzodiazepines (sedatives/
anti-anxiety drugs) and injectable treatments,
which can all help promote muscle relaxation.
More information on stroke recovery and
resources is available at www.beyondstroke.ca.

Tickets reward
good choices
by Kim Tradewell
Imagine
the
long-term impact on
the children and youth
in a community that
purposefully
seeks
out and acknowledges
children and youth who
are making positive
choices.
Beyond Borders Circle
of Change (BBCoC),
in partnership with
Lloydminster RCMP,
are continuing to lead
the positive ticketing
campaign in its seventh
consecutive year in
Lloydminster
which
does just that.
“From an officer’s
perspective, the tickets
are a good tool to use
to engage youth in a
conversation,”
said
Lloydminster
RCMP
Const. Grant Kirzinger.
It’s the opportunity
to have a conversation
with a young person
that reinforces a good
choice they are making
and that is what makes
positive ticketing so
successful.
While the positive
ticketing campaign has
evolved over the years,
one of the things that
has remained the same
is using local artists for
the ticket design.
“Elementary students
from LPSD and LCSD
have submitted art
work for the tickets
for the past couple
of years,” said Mary
Fraser, Member of
BBCoC.
“This year’s ticket
will have artwork by
a student from Father
Gorman School,” she
said.
“Positive ticketing is
such a celebration of
our community’s youth
and using local artwork
is one piece of that.”
Youth can be ticketed
for any number of
reasons
including
volunteering, choosing
to be active, wearing
protective gear when
biking or skateboarding
or being courteous.
However
RCMP
members have the
freedom to use the
tickets to initiate a
conversation
with
young people regardless of the setting.
Encouraging
the
conversation is key to
creating
opportunities to build positive
relationships with our
youth.
Positive
Ticketing
was first introduced by
Richmond, B.C., RCMP
Supt. Ward Clapham as
part of a vision to shift
the police mindset from
reaction to crime to
prevention of crime.
Since the introduction
of the program, Positive
Ticketing
campaigns
have been used by law
enforcement,
businesses, and others in
communities
across
Canada to build relationships with young
people.
Thank you to all the
partners who make
this program a success,
including Image Press,
Lloydminster RCMP,
Lloydminster Outdoor
Pool,
Lloydminster
Leisure Centre, Servus
Sports
Centre
and
Beyond Borders Circle

Three per cent of the 2016 Saskatchewan crop has been seeded
Sask. seeding
percentages climb
Seeding has begun in the
province,
although
many
producers are still working fields
and controlling weeds, says a
Government of Saskatchewan
report. Three per cent of the 2016 crop
has been seeded, compared to
the five-year (2011-2015) seeding
average of less than one per cent.
Field conditions in the south
have been generally favourable
and many producers have been
seeding for several weeks already. In the southwest, producers
have eight per cent of the crop in
the ground, while in the southeast,
producers have four per cent
seeded.
There is little, if any, crop in
the ground in the other parts of
the province. Producers in those
regions will begin seeding in the
next couple of weeks, weather and
field conditions permitting.
Top soil conditions are generally
good. Cropland topsoil moisture
is rated as six per cent surplus,
83 per cent adequate, 10 per cent
short and one per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil
moisture is rated as four per cent
surplus, 71 per cent adequate, 20
per cent short and five per cent
very short.
Parts of the southwestern and
west-central
regions
received
much-needed moisture earlier in
the week in the form of snow and
rain. Some areas received up to 40
mm of snow. In contrast, much of the eastcentral and northeastern regions
are reporting excess moisture.
Producers will need warm and
dry weather before they can begin
field work.
Pasture conditions are rated as
five per cent excellent, 31 per cent

Be like the Scouts, always prepared
The Government of Saskatchewan has
proclaimed May 1-7, National Emergency
Preparedness Week in the province.
Today, Regina Walsh Acres MLA Warren Steinley
on behalf of Government Relations Minister Jim
Reiter, joined Provincial Fire Commissioner Duane
McKay to talk about the importance of being
prepared for emergencies.
“We want to encourage all Saskatchewan
residents and families to be prepared in case of an
emergency,” Steinley said. “One of the easiest things you can do is to
prepare a basic kit, which is accessible in the home,
with supplies that should last at least 72 hours.”
As the twentieth annual Emergency Preparedness Week begins, Statistics Canada data shows
that fewer than half of all Canadians have
emergency kits in their homes and Saskatchewan
households rank sixth out of the provinces in
overall emergency preparedness.
Here are some tips to help families better prepare:
Plan
In an emergency, your family may not be
together. Make a plan of what you would do in a variety
of emergency situations, like a fire, flood, storm or
if you have to be evacuated, and review your plan
with every member of your family.
Prepare
Build an emergency preparedness kit. The kit should have everything you and your
family would need to be safe and to take care of
yourselves for at least three days immediately
following an emergency.
Your emergency preparedness kit should include
water, non-perishable foods, a flashlight, batteries,
a radio, a first aid kit, prescription medications,
your emergency plan and copies of health cards
and other identification.
For more information about preparing a 72
hour kit, visit the Government of Canada’s “Get
Prepared” website at www.getprepared.gc.ca.
Be Aware
SaskAlert is Saskatchewan’s emergency alerting
system that provides real-time information on
emergencies as they occur so you will be able to
take action to protect yourself, your family and
your property. Visit www.SaskAlert.ca to learn more.
Emergency Preparedness Week is a national
awareness initiative that has taken place annually
since 1996.

Quality early learning and child care programs help children learn, enable parents to be employed or in school, reduce poverty, support families, contribute to a
strong economy and are key to women’s equality,” said SECA executive director Nicole Wendt.
May is Early Childhood Education Month
In recognizing the importance of early
childhood education to the future of Saskatchewan’s youngest citizens, Education Minister
Don Morgan proclaimed May as Early Childhood
Education Month.
“We know through research and practice that
quality early learning programs give children a
good start in life,” Morgan said.
“When young children are encouraged to learn,
play, express their feelings and develop positive
relationships, they are more likely to do well in
school, go on to hold a job, and be healthy, happy,
contributing members of their community.”
With 14,546 licensed child care spaces and 5,056
Prekindergarten spaces available in the province,
the government of Saskatchewan continues with
its commitment to provide families with quality
early learning opportunities for their children.
Since November 2007, the province has made a
record investment in licensed child care, allocating funding for 4,935 new child care spaces to
communities across the province. This brings the total commitment of child care
spaces in Saskatchewan to more than 14,200.
Saskatchewan Early Childhood Association
(SECA) is a non-profit, membership-based organization dedicated to high-quality early learning,
in partnership with those invested in the growth
and development of children.
“Quality early learning and child care programs
help children learn, enable parents to be employed
or in school, reduce poverty, support families,
contribute to a strong economy and are key to
women’s equality,” SECA executive director
Nicole Wendt said. “Let’s all take some time in May to celebrate
the early learning programs and educators of our
province.”
To make sure that all Saskatchewan children get
a good start in life, the Government of Saskatchewan has developed Saskatchewan’s Early Years
Plan 2016-2020. This plan sets out goals and actions for all
children to be safe, healthy and develop to their
full potential in strong families and supportive
communities.

Last year’s CPCA Canadian champion Wayne Knight was centre stage at the tarp auction for the CPCA Finals. More than $159,000 was spent at the auction last
month on 29 drivers.
CPCA will always be home for some

The Canadian Professional
Chuckwagon
Association
(CPCA) annual tarp auction
sale was very familiar—with
a major exception.
There was Les McIntyre
on the microphone, the
master of ceremonies for
the night and the voice of
chuckwagon racing at the
Calgary Stampede and the
2016 Westridge GMC CPCA
Finals, making pleas for local
business to bid high and bid
often.
There were videos and
sounds of wagon racing to
get bidders in the spirit for
the approaching chuckwagon season, and there were
the introductions of the top
drivers, fireworks and all.
Kris Molle was in the
back of a GMC truck, Ray
Mitsuing in the chuckwagon
parked to the left of the stage
and last year’s Canadian
champion Wayne Knight
centre stage, tipping his hat
to applause.
But those three only made
up three-quarters of last
year’s final dash. Normally
four names are called and
fireworks ignited at the
CPCA auction in Lloydminster, but this year they had to
make that exception.
The
exception
was
four-time
Canadian
champion Vern Nolin who,
since 2000, made the CPCA
his home association, but
now races with the larger
racing tour, the World
Professional Chuckwagon
Association (WPCA), which
promises more money and
better competition.
It’s another loss of star
power for the for the chuckwagon association who
will only send six drivers
to the Calgary Stampede
Rangeland Derby this year,
down from the eight it sent
last year.
Along with Nolin, Layne
Bremner — a constant
contender for a Canadian
title—and Darcy Flad also
jumped ship to the WPCA.
But that doesn’t make
CPCA drivers feel any less
about their home association.
They just see it as an
opportunity for new stars to
be born.
“Whether it’s star power
or not, there is new stars
coming,” said Lloydminster
native driver B.J. Carey.
“If you look at the WPCA,
there are 36 guys over there
(and) of them, I’m going
to say 30 have raced in the
CPCA or more,” he said.

Nearly 160K raised during auction
Continued from Page 27
“It’s not that we’re losing them, you need
both associations. Some guys think they’re
going to make more money over there.”
The CPCA finals tarp auction brought in
$159,100 across 29 drivers, an average of $5,486
per driver.
Comparative, the WPCA and their Grande
Prairie Stompede auction brought in $180,000
with 36 drivers, coming in with a lower average
of $5,000.
The highest bid of the night in the WPCA
went to Chad Harden, who secured a collaborative bid from four oilfield companies for
$10,750.
Back home in the CPCA, four drivers secured
larger bids, including top bid Devin Mitsuing
with $17,000 from Monias Lodges, Kris Molle
with $16,000 from PWM Steel, Jamie Laboucane
with $14,000 from Daveco Welding and Wayne
Knight with $11,000 from Tim Winterhalt
Farms.
With the WPCA’s second major tarp auction
for the Ponoka Stampede set for May 6, there
is still plenty of money to be earned for those
drivers.
But as Carey said, while the influx of money
at first might be greater than what they will get
in the CPCA, larger travel costs will eat away
at that budget pretty fast.
“They might make more money initially, but
they are putting on three times the miles we
are putting on in the summer,” said Carey.
“If you have kids, if you have a full time job
that you don’t take off all summer, you can’t go
over there,” he said.
“I’m one of those guys, the CPCA is my home
and I won’t be going over there.”

Carey.
“We’re two of the guys that need the CPCA
and we aren’t going to be leaving,” he said.
“Our kids will be the ones up and coming in
the CPCA.”
The economy played a part in this year ’s tarp
auction, as the auction gross was about $36,000
less than 2015’s total of $195,500.
That’s still much better than what Carey said
he thought it’d be, as businesses got behind
some of the up and coming racers on the tour
to get their name behind.
“Any money helps us go down the road and
we put it into the horses,” said Carey.
“Any money helps us, the sponsors are
huge—this is our lives.”

The Bobcats star goaltender, Alex Leclerc, will be playing hockey, and attending college in Colorado.
Alex Leclerc off to Colorado
Lloydminster Bobcats goaltender Alex Leclerc
has committed to Colorado College, a Division I
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
program.
Leclerc registered a franchise record 31 wins in
44 appearances in the 2015-16 season, helping to
lead the Bobcats to a record-setting regular season
in both wins (44) and points (90), and will backstop
the team into the 2016 RBC Cup National Jr. ‘A’
Championship on home ice beginning on May
14th, 2016.
“I’m honoured to attend Colorado College next
year,” Leclerc said.
“Being able to study and play hockey at such
a high level is a dream for every junior hockey
player,” he said.
“I would like to thank my coaches, billets,
friends, and family for their continued support.
“A special thank you goes out to Mr. Vincent
Riendau who put the dream of college hockey in
my mind at 16 years old.”
A native of Longueuil, Que., Leclerc posted a 2.48
goals against average and a .908 save percentage
with the Bobcats in 2015-16, earning recognition
as one of four finalists for both the AJHL’s Most
Valuable Player award and Top Goaltender award.
The Bobcats acquired Leclerc prior to the 2015-16
season from the Sherbrooke Cougars of the Quebec
Junior Hockey League.
“We’re extremely happy for Alex and his family
to achieve this commitment,” said Bobcats head
coach and general manager, Gord Thibodeau.
“Since joining us in early September, he has been
very dedicated in working towards his goal,” he
said.
“It’s great to see Alex be rewarded for his efforts
with this well-deserved opportunity, and we wish
him all the best in the coming years both on and
off the ice.”
Leclerc joins teammates Cole Josefchak and Alex
Pernitsky in committing to Colorado College,
and is the 12th player from the 2015-16 Bobcats
team to commit to a postsecondary institution:
Noah Bauld (Cornell University), Kevin Darrar
(Holy Cross), Cole Josefchak (Colorado College),
Alex Leclerc (Colorado College), Christian Lloyd
(Sacred Heart), Greg Moro (Clarkson University), Taylor Mulder (MacEwan University),
Alex Pernitsky (Colorado College), Nick Quillan

Bobcats back on the ice
by Andrew Brethauer
[email protected]
Four days after being eliminated from the
Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Gas Drive
Playoffs, Morgan Messenger was still bitter.
The Bobcats forward, who was second in team
scoring during the regular season with 23 goals
and 51 points, hoped that a phone call would
come and their would be another game, giving
the Bobcats another chance to come back in their
North Division Final series against the Spruce
Grove Saints, a series they ultimately lost in five
games.
Now a month removed from the last game,
played on April 8 in Spruce Grove, Messenger and
the remaining Bobcats have had time to reflect on
what went wrong in that series and get ready for
who is coming to the Royal Bank Cup.
“We’ve had a good enough time to reflect on
it and see how we lost and what we need to do
to correct that moving into the RBC Cup,” said
Messenger.
“Definitely towards that last week off, you’re
itching to come back,” he said.
“You want to get back on the ice
and start prepping for the RBC ”
- Morgan Messenger
“You want to get back on the ice and start
prepping for the RBC.”
Lloydminster stuck around the week after being
eliminated for practice, but took a week off from
any on ice workouts, giving some players a chance
to go home if they wanted.
Some took the opportunity, while Messenger
stuck around in Lloydminster waiting for practice
to begin again last week.
Since his final game, he has spent some time
keeping track of the other leagues across Canada,
with a particular interest in what is happening in
the eastern junior A hockey leagues, as Messenger
himself is from Barrington, N.S.
Spruce Grove would end up losing in the AJHL
final to the Brooks Bandits, that are currently
playing in the Western Canada Cup for a spot in
the RBC Cup.
For the Bobcats, keeping an eye on what is
happening across the Canadian Junior Hockey
League and it’s three regional tournaments can
only give them an advantage coming into the RBC
Cup, as they will have had more time to prepare for
who is coming, watch game film, and get healthy.
“You are focusing on what is happening around
because any little help you can get in prepping
for RBC, you got to take advantage of it,” said
Messenger.
“We’re making sure we are prepared and ready
to go because once that thing starts, you got four

games to get yourself into a win or go home
game,” he said.
“At that point, you have to make sure you are
ready to go because if you have a bad three days,
you could be out.”
With preparations for the RBC Cup spanning
two years and the city of Lloydminster building
the excitement, Lloydminster entering the tournament after more than a month off does put some
pressure on the players to hopefully not let their
fans down.

But Messenger also sees the positives of not
playing, giving the Bobcats plenty of time to
get healthy and set for what will be the biggest
challenge the franchise has ever faced on the ice.
“We are going to be rested,” said Messenger.
“These other teams are still playing very physical
match ups all across the country,” he said.
“Hopefully we can use that to our advantage.”
The Bobcats will play the winner of the Western
Canada Cup in their opening match up on May 14

Sometimes you have
to laugh at yourself
We work in a serious
business crammed full
of emotion and stress.
But there’re simply
days when no matter
how focused you think
you are, life throws yet
another curve ball.
Here are some of my
swings and misses from
over the years.
I was asked to give
an opinion of value
on a family home in a
midwest
community
and the owner gave me
their civic address.
He would be off to
work by the time I
would arrive so simply
said the door would be
unlatched and I could
lock up when I left.
I got to the address
about 8:30 a.m.
As promised, the
door was unlocked and
I proceeded into the
home deciding to look
at the kitchen first.
Funny thing was I
could hear the shower
running with a female
singing.
“That’s odd!”
I thought, the owner
is a bachelor, maybe
he had a friend staying
over?”
All of a sudden it hit
me—I was at 104 4 Ave.
East.
Where I was supposed
to be, according to the
file prepared by my
assistant, was 104 4 Ave.
West.
I don’t think I have ever
walked backwards so
quietly in my life, gently
closing the outside door,
and practically running
to get my truck out of
the driveway before
someone noticed.

Our group covers
about 5,000-sq miles on
northeast Alberta, the
City of Lloydminster,
and northwest Saskatchewan.
I consider exploring
new territory to be
an
adventure
but
sometimes one should
probably exercise some
caution.
I was east of Turtle

winding trail on the
forest fringe looking
at some land a client
wanted listed when a
major thunderstorm hit.
It was coming down
so hard that the wipers
on the truck couldn’t
keep up.
My first thought was
“No problem, I’ll wait
it out” when a second
opinion
from
the
other side of the brain
suggested a strategic
retreat before the road
became
impassable
might be in order.
Problem was the trail
was so narrow there was
nowhere to turn around.
Again my ability to
travel in reverse came
through, but it was
tense the last half mile as
water covered most of
the road.
It was two weeks
before it dried up
enough so I could get
back into the location
and take some pictures.

Another time in the
winter I was driving
across a snow filled
stubble field looking at
the perimeter of a newly
subdivided acreage near
Lashburn when the
front end of the truck
dropped hard into a
drainage ditch. There I
sat with the frame hung
up over the edge.
Good thing the local
tow operator was also a
client so he came quickly
to my rescue, but I’m
sure he wondered about
my navigation skills!

Realtors often work
evenings.
It’s a blessing when we
can get home for supper
and catch up a bit with
family before heading
back out.
However, this particular time I learned a
lesson I will try my best
not to repeat.
You see, there were
fresh baked muffins
on the counter and I
indulged in not just one
but two for dessert.
Fast forward an hour
and while I’m sitting
with a couple discussing
their home, I can feel my
stomach starting to do
gymnastics.

coming and fortunately,
I was able to finish my

Try no- and low-cost cooling tips in your home
(NC)—By all accounts it’s going to be a scorcher
in the Border City over the next few months.
A lot of money is spent on the energy needs of
our lifestyles, but did you know we spend the
majority of our energy dollars controlling the
temperature of our homes?
In the summer, this means keeping it cool, so
before cranking up the air conditioning, try a few
alternatives first.
Even if you’re using air conditioning, you’ll use
less and that will lower your electricity use.
Here are some helpful guidelines:
Draw the curtains on heat
In the morning, open windows to let cool air in.
Then close them, and draw your blinds or drapes
during the day.
Your home will retain much of the cool morning
air.
Let fans move the air
Ceiling fans help cool down your home.
They don’t use much electricity and can help
reduce the need for air conditioning.

BARE LAND: 2-70 ACRES
Keep it cool this summer, Lloyd, with these low cost tips
Make sure ceiling fans blow air downwards in
summer.
Cool down your menus too
One of the easiest things you can do to conserve
energy and keep your house cool is to avoid using
appliances that heat up the home.
In the summer, use the barbecue and include
more cold foods and salads in your menu.
Try not to use major appliances in the middle of
the day.
The real problem may be humidity
Humid homes feel hotter.
Use exhaust fans in kitchens, bathrooms and
laundry areas to expel the air directly outside (not
into walls or attics).
Avoid
air-drying
clothes in the home

and don’t store firewood inside.
Check around the house
Examine the caulking and weather stripping
around your windows and doors.
People tend to think this is a winter preparation,
but it’s just as useful in the summer to ensure that
you keep the cool air in.
If you have a window air conditioning unit,
clean or replace the filter monthly.
Dirty filters may restrict air flow and reduce efficiency.
Turn it off
Lights, appliances and home electronics use a lot
of power and give off heat.
During the summer, it’s more important than
ever to turn them off when you aren’t using them.
You’ll save energy twice.

Protect your open house
BAY FOR LEASE
(NC) Scheduling an
open house is a great
tool to give a large
number of potential
buyers the opportunity
to take a look inside
your home.
For some people,
however,
letting
strangers tour their
private dwelling can be
unnerving.
“For safety reasons,
we generally try to
keep strangers out of
our homes, and yet
‘open houses’ do the
very opposite,” says

Ray Ferris, president of
the Ontario Real Estate
Association (OREA).
“Realtors have experience hosting open
houses, and they are
aware of the safety risks.
“With the right protections in place, you’ll feel
safer and more secure
when inviting visitors
into your residence.”
Here are some ways
to safeguard yourself
and your home:
Secure valuables
Remove
valuables
from view and store
them in a safe, locked
place. This includes
small electronics such
as laptops, tablets,
smartphones, and other
electronic devices. Even
prescription medicines
should be removed or
locked up.
Protect your identity
Bills, cheques, bank
statements, passports
and ID cards should
be secured. Also, make
sure your computers
are locked with a pass
code.
Inform your
neighbours
Tell them about the
open house and ask
them to keep an eye out
for anything unusual.
Secure the house
Remind your Realtor
to check and lock all
doors and windows
after each open house.
“An open house is a
marketing tactic,” says
Ferris.
“It should not be a
safety concern, so be
sure to talk to your
Realtor about some
precautions.”

“Forget Me Not”
I give you this one thought to keep –
I am with you still – I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on the snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain,
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone—
I am with you still – in each new dawn.

TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
A dream resurfaces, but this time, there is a greater
chance of attaining it. Go for it, Taurus. You won’t be
denied. A message is delivered.
GEMINI
May 21– June 21
Sure, Gemini. More could be said, but would it do any
good? Actions really do speak louder than words in
this case. A friend makes an announcement.
CANCER
June 22 – July 22
The conversation continues at home, and a youngster
adds fuel to the fire. Lay low, Cancer. You need time to
think before you act. A wish is granted.
LEO
July 23 – August 22
A loved one turns you on to a new hobby. Enjoy, Leo.
You will soon have far less free time on your hands. An
admirer has something to say.

LIBRA
September 23 – October 22
The chain of command at work breaks down, and a
chaotic week is in store. Keep your nose to the
grindstone, Libra. Someone important is watching.

You can’t, but someone in your inner circle can.
Relinquish the reins, Virgo. Travel plans come together
with the help of a seasoned traveler.

SCORPIO
October 23 – November 21
Just because you think highly of yourself doesn’t
mean others do. Prepare to be critiqued, Scorpio, and
try to learn from it. No one is perfect.
SAGITTARIUS
November 22 – December 21
Sometimes you can be a maniac, Sagittarius,
especially when it comes to chores at home.
Understand that not everyone appreciates your
approach and take it easy.
