Travelling exhibit shows off Sask. athletes
by Jaime Polmateer
[email protected]
The Saskatchewan Sports Hall
of Fame (SSHF) is having its
50th anniversary this year and
is commemorating with a travelling exhibit that made a stop at
Bud Miller All Season Park last
weekend.
“We decided to put together
a mobile museum and tour it
around the province for the
summer months and we’re
basically stopping in a different
community every day, and then
just opening to the public for a
few hours depending on the
location; it’s free admission,”
said Danelle Hussey, summer
student with the SSHF.
“And we just have artifacts
and pictures of some of our
Saskatchewan athletes who’ve
been inducted to the hall of fame,
and this trailer actually only
contains less than one per cent
of our inductees because they
really had to pick and choose for
space what they could fit into it.”
Lloydminster
residents
who’ve had the honour of being
inducted over the years include
Dale Cross and Terry Clark,
who played hockey for the 1985
Moose Jaw Generals and wer
inducted in 2015, Lyle Weiman
who was inducted in 2005 for his
time with the 2001 Regina Silver
Screen Bruins broom ball team,
and Justin Kelly for his time
with the 2003 Saskatoon Hilltops
football team, which landed him
an induction in 2009.
Jenna Carpenter-Bosch, a
fellow summer student with the
hall of fame, said entering the
SSHF is quite significant, with

only a small percentage of those
nominated ever making it in.
“You have to be the best to be
nominated and to be inducted
into the Saskatchewan Sports
Hall of Fame—you have to be at
the top level at your sport,” she
said.
“We have 50 to 100 applications come in every year, nomination forms, and we have to
sift through them and decide
the best of the best; we only
nominate 10 inductees a year, so
it’s a really big honour to be in
the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of
Fame.”
The mobile museum is set up
in the back of a transport trailer
and will be driving through
70 Saskatchewan communities
during its run, which should last
well into the fall, with the tour
expected to end some time in
October.

Care a lot, Care-A-Van
Generous Lloydministerites help get seniors rolling
by Geoff Lee
[email protected]
The Lloydminster Handivan
Society is meeting a growing
demand for its Care-A-Van
shuttle service with a second
vehicle that’s clocked a lot of
mileage since June.
The new 2016 Chevy Equinox,
and the original 2015 Dodge
Caravan that got Care-A-Van
rolling in January, are averaging
over 30 trips a month from
Monday to Friday.
“It’s been very active and
we anticipate it will just keep
on increasing as more people
find out about it,” said Glenn
Fagnan, a board member of the
Handivan Society.
The vehicles are driven by
volunteers to take Lloydminster
residents to non emergency outof-town medical appointments
in Edmonton and Saskatoon and
points in between.
“We ran into many times when
we got two requests for two
different cities on the same day,”
said Fagnan.
He said in order to fix the
problem, some of the drivers like
Clancy Hodgson were taking
their own personal vehicles and
driving people.
Hodgson came up with a
eureka solution to try to raise
money for a second van.
“I said ‘Clancy you go ahead
and do that,’ because I didn’t
think anything would really
materialized out of it,” said
Fagnan.
Miraculously, Hodgson raised
more than $32,000 in just five
short days from a circle of
buddies.
“I have some very generous
friends who supported me
greatly and they supported the
cause,” explained Hodgson,
before driving a resident to
Saskatoon in the Equinox
Tuesday.
“I would like to thank them
greatly for their generous
donations—they want to remain
anonymous.”
The funds were presented
to the Lloydminster Health
Foundation that purchased
the vehicle in its partnership
with Care-A-Van from Ulmer
Chevrolet Cadillac.
“Ulmer was very instrumental
in helping us out with that van;
they gave us some pretty good
pricing and some really good
service to get everything on the
go there,” said Fagnan.
“There were excellent to say
the least.”
Fagnan said the cost of the
Equinox is working out to be
between $80 to $100 for fuel and
wear and tear per day supported
by passenger donations.
“So we have people that are
very generous and will give us
$250 and then we have others
that will give us $5,” he said.
“It’s affordable for anybody
who really needs that.”
Fagnan says it’s volunteer
drivers like Hodgson that are
key to the service with about
a dozen signed on to help out
24/7.
“We’ve had drivers that left at
2:30 a.m. to get people down to
an appointment,” he said.
So far, the biggest users of
Care-A-Van are seniors who
have known about its since its
inception, and not just seniors
who can’t afford other means
of getting to medical appointments.
“We have people that have the
financial means, but they might
be 80 or 90 years old and just
don’t feel comfortable driving in
Edmonton,” said Fagnan.
“We take people that can’t
afford to go as well; we have a
wide range of clients.”
Both Care-A-Van vehicles are
stored at Handivan’s new base
at the Sandstone Centre Truck
Wash & Storage.
Handivan also has plants to
purchase additional handivans
in the future in different areas of
transportation as well.
“Our next van will be for those
who are mobility challenged,”
said Fagnan.
“We need to get a van that can
get people with wheelchairs, so
we’re going to be looking for
some funds for that.”
He cautioned that fundraising
is “a tight gig” right now with
fires in Fort McMurray earlier
this year and the weakness in the
economy.
“Dollars haven’t been flowing
in as they have in the past,” he
said, with no timeframe on the
next purchase.

Wagon Week Aug. 15-21 was proclaimed by city Deputy Mayor Jason Whiting
in council chambers on Monday with support from Buck the Bronco and on
Whiting’s right by Owen Noble, chair of the CPCA Finals and Paul Klaassen,
president of the CPCA. Chuckwagon races started Wednesday night at the
Lloydminister Exhibition Grounds with the finals on Sunday.
Wagons ho!

Wagons ho—and quickly!
That’s what taking place during
the five-day Westridge GMC
Canadian Professional Chuckwagon Association (CPCA) Finals at the
Lloydminster Exhibition Grounds
until Aug 21.
The
action
got
underway
Wednesday night at Halstead
Downs with 27 drivers from all over
Western Canada taking part in the
24th annual event.
There will be a total of nine heats
the economic impact of being the
host city of the finals in Western
Canada.
“It’s an exciting week, one I look
forward to every year,” said Deputy
Mayor, Jason Whiting during
Monday’s proclamation at council
chambers.
“It brings in a lot of revenue;
it brings in a lot of visitors from
outside of town,” he said.
“It’s great for our economy.”
Buck the Bronco tipped his hat for
the proclamation along with Owen
Noble, the CPCA chair who spoke
for the mascot.
“We’ve got lots of stuff
lined up and basically
would like everyone
to come out and enjoy
themselves and have a
good time — relax and
let their hair down and
have some fun,” he said.
Noble said other than
the Calgary Stampede,
the CPCA Finals is the best show of
its type on Earth.
“We hope to fill the stands so the
chuckwagon drivers can feel the
rush,” he said.
The winner gets to drive home
a new GMC 3/4 ton truck from
the title sponsor Westridge and
supporting sponsors.
“I would like to thank Westridge
for being the major sponsor this
year,” said Paul Klaassen, president
of the Lloydminster CPCA.
He said drivers and fans are in
store for some nail biting performances.
“The racing’s really tough this
year,” he said with the top two
drivers, Ray Mitsuing and Kris
Molle just half a point apart coming
into the CPCA Finals.
He added there was only 8.5
points separating the next four
guys. “We have no idea who’s going
to be in the final dash for four,” he
said.
Horse and rider safety is top
of mind at all CPCA events and
Daze said the finals in Lloyd are no
exception for the organization.
“Every horse has been checked
with a vet, she said.
“Safety is definitely the top
priority at the CPCA and the
WPCA (world’s) and the Calgary
Stampede.”
“It’s going to be really
busy with full stands and
a full week of events”
- Maryse Daze
of four wagons starting daily at
6 p.m. to determine the final four
drivers for Sunday’s championship
race at 2 p.m.
The winner of each race is decided
by the fastest time.
“They’ve been competing all year
for the driver standings so we will
establish who the top driver is at the
end of the week,” said CPCA rep
Maryse Daze, from Calgary.
“It’s going to be really busy
with full stands and a full week of
events.”
In between the wagoneering is
a loaded festival of beer gardens,
pancake breakfasts, a family fun
night, a pink night breast cancer
fundraiser and a chuckwagon
cabaret to draw crowds.
Thrown into the mix of the
spectacle are mounted shooters
competing in the Western Series
Finals Saturday and Sunday.
There is also a trick riding competition and the Midlite Rocky Riders
and Border Cowboys shootout.
“The finals is always a bit of a
larger event—we are very excited
to be back here,” said Daze who is
lending support to the event.
“The community of Lloyd is so
great to host us.”

Punch Drunk Cabaret will be at The Root Sept. 3. L-r: Singer Randy Bailer, drummer Capt. Sean Watts and
bass player Terry “Sawbones” Grant.
Drunk loves Lloyd
by Geoff Lee
[email protected]
Punch Drunk Cabaret will
tick two items off their bucket
list on a three day tour through
Saskatchewan in September.
The
three
member
Alberta band will perform
their first ever live show in
Lloydminster at The Root
on Sept. 3 after a cancelled
gig at the Legacy Centre in
May due to liquor licence
snafu.
“Maybe this time for
real,” Randy Bailer, singer
and manager said with a
laugh.
He noted the cancellation was
disappointing for them and fans
who bought tickets.
“We feel quite good about the
fact we’ve been able to pick that
show up again just a few months
later,” he said.
Before hitting Lloyd, the rockabilly steampunk swing act will
also perform their first ever live
show in Saskatoon on Sept. 1 at
the Capital Music Club.
That will be followed by a sold
out show with Trooper in North
Battleford on Sept. 2 as they
make their way to Lloyd, which
Bailer calls a strange town, but
in a good way.
He said it’s strange because
despite the cancellation in May,
“the press has been so damned
good to us in Lloyd like no other
place.
“Saskatoon is really strange
and elusive too, because we’ve
recorded all three albums there
and really consider Saskatoon
a second home—we’ve never
played there live,” he said.
He noted in the music business
there is so much deal making
behind the scenes that never
makes the light of day.
“It’s a strange thing—some
markets you can’t get arrested
and in Lloyd, the press has just
been so supportive of what we
nitely brings a unique angle to
it,” said Bailer.
The bass player is Terry
“Sawbones” Grant who plays
an unconventional 12 string bass
instead of the usual four string
instrument.
“It’s very unique—there’s
not a lot of people
in Canada that even
play that instrument,”
said Bailer, noting it
was developed in the
70s by a guy in the
band Cheap Trick.
Bailer
said
Punch
Drunk will perform
songs from all three
of their albums at The
Root.
“We’ve never taken such a
left turn that there is an album
that doesn’t apply—each album
we’ve built off the last one,” he
said.
He also described Punch
Drunk as a “homeless band,”
meaning Bailer lives near
Wetaskiwin, Watts in Hanna and
Grant near Edmonton and they
get together to perform.
The trio tagged up in July for
two videotaping sessions for the
Beard of Bees project starting at
Bailer’s family farm.
They completed a performance
video on a set there that Bailer
built in the hayloft of an old
barn. The second part was shot
on what Bailer called really epic
locations in southern Alberta
including Horsethief Canyon in
the badlands.
“Because we are a very visual
band, it really lends itself well to
the media form of video,” said
Bailer.
“Quite often we get booked
because of our videos.”
“In some markets you can’t get
arrested and in Lloyd, the press
has just been so supportive”
- Randy Bailer
do,” he said.
Punch Drunk’s much awaited
arrival in Lloydminster will be
hyped with the release of their
video, Beard of Bees, named for a
song on their newest and third
album, Electrik Steam Show.
Bailer said the video has been
become very important to this
band because they are a very

“One thing about this band
is we’re very much a live band

“That live show has to impact
people the first time and so
everything that we do, from the

Dear editor:
The Sask. Party Government privatization plans
for 40 liquor stores include
36 in rural communities. They
generated
$32,632,466.00 in revenue
in 2014. This is a profit that will
now go to the private
sector and which we, the
taxpayers, will have to
make up.
What the Wall government does not want made
clear are the financial and
human costs to our rural
communities.
We are told that about
150 employees earning
about $6 million in wages
are losing their government jobs.
How many will be
exercising their seniority
and be moving away
from small towns already
reeling from the loss of
elevators, banks, post
offices, school and hospital
closures?
How many of those
do not have enough
seniority and their families
Publisher: Reid Keebaugh
General Manager: Kent Keebaugh
Editor: Mike D’Amour
Sales Manager: Deanna Reschny
Production Manager: Karrie Craig
will be separated from
their government pay
checks and will be facing
minimum wages or no job
at all?
While most of these
communities
will
no
doubt lose at least some
families, the small communities will also end up
with abandoned store
buildings. There are no guarantees
the privateers will use
the existing government
buildings. And
abandoned
buildings
mean
lost
property taxes for communities
already
facing
shrinking tax bases.
Residents in these towns,
as a matter of protest,
should consider letting
businesses submitting a
RFP (Request for Proposal)
know that residents would
not purchase liquor or
other products from them,
should they be awarded
the license to sell liquor in
their establishments.

Water testing continues after leak
The Water Security Agency (WSA)
released Tuesday the first results of
its ongoing water quality testing on
the North Saskatchewan River and
Saskatchewan River systems as a
result of the Husky oil spill.
The results show no exceedances of
the Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines or the provincial drinking water
standards. However, exceedances were found
relative to the Canadian Protection of
Aquatic Life Guidelines. One of the samples had an exceedance of toluene, and one sample had
an exceedance of pyrene.
This additional sampling will help
WSA make an informed decision on
when and what is required to turn
on the water treatment plant intakes
for the communities impacted downstream of the spill site.
WSA is undertaking a water safety
assessment to further evaluate
water quality in order to reopen
the intakes. Specifically, WSA has
requested further data from Husky
and other agencies involved in the
technical working group specific to
drinking water quality.
This includes the following
components: where is the remaining
oil that has not been captured;
what form is the oil in, is it a
potential risk to the waterworks,
and how will it respond or react to
various factors such as flooding,
or spring break-up conditions;
what short-term and long-term monitoring program will be required; and
will any additional pre-treatment
processes have to be considered for
the existing water treatment plants.
The results, expected in the coming
weeks, will be evaluated by WSA,
which will help it make a decision
on when the water intakes can be
reopened.

is coming to town with
one simple tool to help
out with that.
The
Lloydminster
Public School Division
is inviting entrepreneur and motivational
speaker, Darci Lang, to
share her secret of positivity.
“The message is
called ‘Focus on the
90 per cent,’ and it’s a
motivational message
for anyone in this
community to come
out and hear; it’s my
belief that we hold a
magnifying glass out
in front of us in our
lives and we have a
choice what we focus it
on—what I call the 90
per cent of the positive
aspects of our life, or
the not so positive 10
per cent,” said Lang.
This
focus
isn’t
just something to be
applied to one aspect
of life, Lang said, but
can be used to bring
positivity to people’s
work,
community
involvement
and
home lives as well.
That’s where Lang said
her presentations differ
from other motivational speakers, who often
just focus on one area
of improvement.
“Sometimes you go
hear a motivational
speaker and it’s just
about work, or you go
hear a speaker that’s
just about parenting, as
where this one simple
message applies to all
areas of their life—
so they can get one
more tool for their life
toolbox to go out into
the world and be able
to see what is good,”
she said.
According to Lang,
she hopes that audience
members take away an
idea that they all have
positive things in their
lives, but there’s also a
10 per cent of negative
situations to deal with
as well.
She said she meets
very few people in
her travels that have a
perfect existence, but
no matter what’s going
on in a person’s dayto-day, it’s still possible
to maintain a level of
positivity if one makes
the choice to focus on
the good.
“When
I
speak
to
companies
and
community
groups
and parent groups, the
majority of the 10 per
cents in our lives are
the things we have no
control over,” she said.
“So talking about
things we have no
control over is like
talking
about
the
weather, right? So my
Darci Lang
challenge to people is
we all have those 10
per cents in our work,
with our coworkers, in
our communities and
in our family lives, but
we also have so much
good.”
Lang is going into
her 23rd year of this
particular presentation
and has delivered it
hundreds of times from
coast to coast.
Summertime Fun
The
47-year-old
entrepreneur
started
the presentations as a
means to help fellow
entrepreneurs believe
in themselves and show
how the power of being
positive can transform
their lives, then eventually the talks became so
popular it turned into a
full-time job for her.
Lang said she partly
credits the popular-
ity of her presentations
to the fact that she is
also a former business
owner, wife and a
mother to teenaged
children, which makes
her relatable to her
audiences.
“People really appreciate hearing from
somebody who has a
real life and real life
challenges,” she said.
“I get to come with
all those roles and
say, ‘I get it, life is not
perfect, my life is not
perfect, but we all have
a choice in how we
approach our life, and
again, how positive
we are really creates
our own life and also,
everyone’s around us
that has to work and
live with us.’”

August is impaired driving month
Driving impaired, whether by
alcohol, drugs, fatigue or distraction, imposes enormous costs on
our society. Families, the health care
system, the legal system, insurance
companies and the general public all
pay the price for impaired drivers.
Even worse, you may be involved
in a severe collision that harms
someone you love.
This month police around the
province are on high alert to nab
drunks behind the wheel.
Facts to Know
• Choosing to drive while impaired
by drugs or alcohol can get you a
criminal record and will cost you: your freedom, your dignity; your job;
your chance of future employment
and even your life.
• If police determine your ability to
operate a vehicle has been impaired
by alcohol or drugs, even if your
Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC)
is below .08, you can be charged with
impaired driving.
• Refusing to provide a breath
sample will result in a criminal
charge and an immediate suspension
in the same manner as other Criminal
Code (Canada) charges (over .08).
• Police may disqualify you from
driving for 24 hours if they believe
your ability
to
safely
operate
a
motor
vehicle is
affected
by drugs,
alcohol, medical condition or physical
ability.
Police may also seize your vehicle
for 24 hours.
• Designated drivers should not
consume any alcohol or use any
drugs.
• On average over the past five
years, approximately 8,600 people
were convicted of impaired driving
in Alberta each year.
• According to statistics, males
between 18 and 21 years of age are
most likely to have been drinking
before the crash. Also, male drivers are much more
likely to have consumed alcohol prior
to a collision compared to female
drivers.
• On average in Alberta, one in
five drivers involved in fatal collisions have been drinking prior to the
collision. This compares to an average of
about one in 20 drivers involved in
injury collisions.
As the severity of the collision
increases, so does the likelihood
the collision will involve a drinking
driver.
• The highest numbers of casualty
collisions involving alcohol occur
during warmer weather months
(May to October).
• The most casualty collisions
involving alcohol occur on the
weekends.
The most likely time period for
these collisions, on any day of the
week, is between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m.
• Drinking and driving collisions are often associated with long
weekends.
• It is estimated that about 20 per
cent of fatal collisions in Canada
involve driver fatigue.
• Research indicates that driver
distraction contributes to 20 to 30 per
cent of all collisions.
How many people are killed or
injured in
collisions
involving
drinking
drivers?
F r o m
2009
to
2013, on average each year almost 90
people were killed and 1,330 people
were injured in collisions involving at
least one driver who had consumed
alcohol prior to the crash. Specifically, in 2013, 80 people were
killed and 1,133 were injured.
How big of an issue is drug
impaired driving?
A recent Canadian study of alcohol
and drug use among drivers found
that drug use in nighttime drivers
exceeded that of alcohol use.
How many drinks does it take to
be impaired?
Impairment begins with the first
drink.
21 people killed and 373 injured in SK collisions involving
commercial vehicles in 2014
The effects of alcoholic drinks vary
greatly because the rate of absorption
and Blood Alcohol Concentration
(BAC) vary from person to person
due to factors such as weight, amount
of fat tissue and stomach contents.
For more information, visit transportation.alberta.ca/4961.htm.
What happens if you refuse to
comply with a lawful demand made
by a peace officer?
Refusing to comply with a lawful
demand can result in a charge under
section 254 of the Criminal Code.
A lawful demand includes: a
demand for a breath sample, both at
the roadside and for a Breathalyzer
test; a demand for a blood sample;
a demand for physical coordination
tests; and a demand for a drug evaluation.
How long are repeat offences
monitored?
Alcohol related offences are
monitored for 10 years.
Tougher sanctions are in place for
repeat offences during this time.
Can medication impair a driver’s
ability to operate a vehicle?
Talk to your pharmacist about
possible side effects of any prescrip-
tion or over-the-counter medication
you may take.
What can I do to minimize distractions that may arise while driving?
• Use a cellphone only if the vehicle
is parked in a safe place. If the phone
rings while driving, have a passenger
take the call or let it go to voice mail.
• Take a rest stop to eat or drink.
• Avoid emotionally charged
conversations with passengers as
they may lead to erratic driving
behaviour.
• Never take notes or use a laptop
while driving. Legally park in a safe
place before writing things down.
• Be prepared for the unexpected
actions of other motorists or poor
driving conditions.
• If you need to attend to a child,
find a safe spot to park the vehicle
before doing so.
• Avoid programming electronic
devices like mp3 players and GPS
units while driving.
What can I do to manage fatigue?
Drivers can consider doing the
following to manage their fatigue:
Sleep well prior to long road trips.
Share the driving with fellow passengers.

Outside the boundaries
Take a moment to think of your
property, even your condo balcony,
as something much greater than the
boundaries indicated on a survey.
Think of the piece of real estate
that you live on as a pearl in a
necklace that extends down your
street, around the corner and
beyond.
Note this necklace is a circle or
oval that has no end.
Round and round it goes.
You are beginning to think like a
bee.
Or a hummingbird.
A visit to the flowering plants
in your yard leads to more on the
other side of your fence, which
leads to permanent tree cover
where birds and insects build nests
which leads to a nearby source of
water.
There is much that you can do in
your yard and garden that impacts
on the beneficial wildlife in your
entire community.
Here are a few ideas that might
spark your interest and your desire
to play a bigger role in the world of
pollinators that exists right outside
of your back door.
1.Plant a hedge.
The aforementioned fence is a
fine thing for creating privacy in
your yard.
A fence provides privacy while
sunbathing or reading quietly.
However, a permanent hedge
can provide so much more, while
offering privacy and quiet (MORE
quiet, as it absorbs noise more
effectively than a fence).
A living wall, or hedge, is often
home to birds
nesting
and
having
babies,
shelter
for
insects and small
creatures that are
part of the natural

web.
I prefer native www.markcullen.com
white cedar as a
hedge in a sunny position for fast
growth and a permanent vertical
delineator between neighbours.
Other great hedging plants
include the classic deciduous
privet (up to two meters high),
boxwood (up to one meter high),
alpine currant (two meters high,
great for the shade) and for an
informal approach to the project,
virtually plant any flowering shrub
that you like.
2.Lift a slab.
Do you have a flagstone, interlocking or patio-slab walkway or
patio?
Consider lifting some random
pieces out of the puzzle and fill in
with low growing stepables. These
are ground hugging plants that
attract pollinators while in bloom
and provide safety for small,
ground dwelling insects.
Look for creeping thyme (Thymus
serpyllum) for a great show of
colour early in summer, Irish or
Scotch moss or any number of low
growing sedums and sempervivums.
All bloom at one point in the
season and tolerate a moderate
amount of foot traffic.
They cool down an otherwise hot
area in the
yard too.
3.Cut and
GREEN
come again.
FILE
T h i s
weekend
I
will cut my
veronica
(about 50 of
them) in half.
They bloomed in July and now
they’re ready to bloom again, but
only if you take the time to remove
the first flush of flowers.
The same is true for many early
summer
flowering
perennials
including Sweet William, Echinops
(globe thistles), lavender and
delphiniums.
While the second coming of
bloom is generally not as dramatic
as the first, it is worth the effort.
Pollinators will thank you for it.
Many annual flowering plants
enjoy a mid-season trim as well.
Petunias respond with an
abundance of late season blooms
when you cut about one-third
growth off now.
Deadhead your geraniums and
marigolds to encourage more
bloom.
Pinch the main flower out of
Butterfly bush after it has bloomed
to encourage more lateral blossoms
late in August and September.
4.Plant a wall.
The fences and walls around
your property come alive when
you plant a vine up them.
I can’t imagine anything more
beautiful than a clematis and
climbing rose planted together
against a fence or on a trellis,
secured to the garage wall.
Or a flowering hydrangea
clinging to shaded support.
Birds nest in vines and enjoy
the fruits of many like pyracantha
(firethorn), native Virginia Creeper
and even grapes.
Cool an area down.
5. Leave it standing.
Ornamental grasses, rudbeckia,
Echinacea (purple coneflower),
monarda (bee balm) and Shasta
Daisy all produce a seed head, once
they finish blooming, that attracts
foraging song birds: don’t cut them
down. The flocks of yellow finches
that invade my garden from now
through winter are testament to
this. Come autumn, resist the
temptation to sanitize your garden
and let these perennials stand.
Speaking of autumn, far off as it
seems now, one of the best choices
you can make when considering
beneficial wildlife in your yard is
leaving the fallen leaves in it.
Rake leaves off your lawn as they
can do damage there.
Moving them under hedges, onto
perennial beds and even the veggie
garden where they will rot down
before the next growing season,
adding much needed organic raw
material to the soil and habitat for
ground dwelling insects.
Less work for you, more beneficial to the ‘beneficials.’
Easy.

This little-known fact about your
own community might surprise you
(NC) Did you know
that no matter where
you live in Canada,
you’re connected to
water?
Even if you don’t live
near the ocean or have
a lake or a pond in your
neighbourhood, you’ve
still got a shoreline in
your community.
That’s because a
shoreline is anywhere
that water meets land,
including your own
storm system.
Water from precipitation, called stormwater,
accumulates on the
ground and is part of
the water cycle.
This area of land that
collects rain and snow,
which drains through
streams, rivers and
into lakes, is called a
watershed.
Some water gets
absorbed into the soil,
but the runoff enters
the storm system: all
the streets, gutters,
catch basins, manholes,
channels,
ditches,
underground sewers
and stormwater ponds
that eventually connect
to river systems, and
yes, our lakes and
oceans.
That’s why garbage

litter
can
leach
harmful
chemicals into the
water,
accidentally
be eaten by wildlife
and entangle aquatic
animals such as turtles,
birds, fish and marine
mammals.
The Great Canadian
Shoreline
Cleanup,
presented by Loblaw
Companies Limited, is
one of the largest directaction
conservation
programs in Canada.
A joint conservation initiative of the
Vancouver Aquarium
Marine Science Centre
and
WWF-Canada,
the program enlists
Canadians
across
the country to clean
shorelines in their own
communities to help
care for our freshwater
and marine ecosystems.
Since it first started
in 1994 more than
600,000 people across
the
country
have
participated, helping to
keep our rivers, lakes
and oceans healthy for
the communities and
wildlife that depend on
them.

In 2015 alone there
were more than 2,000
volunteer-led cleanups
made up of over 59,000
registrants with events
in every province and
territory.
No matter where you
live in Canada, your
actions have an impact
on our waterways.
Do
something
positive by registering
to clean a local shoreline
in your community.
It’s a great way to
reconnect with nature,
learn about how litter
harms our aquatic
ecosystems and make
a real difference in the
health of your local
waters.

I Learned in Kindergarten.
It is an excellent read,
quite humorous, and
PRAIRIE WOOL very thought provoking.
Take a quick look at a
few of his opening points
and see if he isn’t right:
by Helen Row Toews
• Share everything.
• Play fair.
Life is forever getting busier,
• Put things back where you
more complex and more challenging.
Everyone finds this to be true
whatever they may do for a
living, but folks who farm or
ranch certainly have their own
set of difficulties.
It is surprising how complicated farming has become and how
skillful you must be at problem
solving to be successful at it.
Sometimes, a little levity or
a chuckle serves to lighten the
load and goodness knows we all
need it from time to time.
It does the body good to have a
laugh and put things in perspective.
One of the jobs I have, in my
full, rich life, is to drive a school
bus, and I find endless opportunities to smile as I rumble
through the countryside with
children.
Before school ended in June, I
stopped, as usual, in a yard and
opened the bus door.
Trailing slowly across the lawn
towards me was a small, kindergarten aged boy, weeping bitter
tears of the unjustly treated.
He plodded along, dragging
one foot after the other, arms
hanging low, anguish clearly
written across his tear-stained
face.
His sister sprinted past him
and gleefully ascended the steps. found them.

Robert Fulghum wrote a book and paint and sing and dance
entitled, All I Really Need to Know and play and work every day

• When you go out into the
world, watch out for traffic, hold

He puts forth the notion that
everything we need to know,
in order to live a decent life, is
summed up in this.
Guidelines on love, kindness,
fair play, a few basic rules on
good hygiene and politics are
outlined here and can logically
be turned into a very sophisticated philosophy.
After all, wouldn’t it be a
better world if governments
lived by a few of these principles?
And who can argue, as we
venture out into the world each
day, we all wouldn’t be better
off holding hands and sticking
together.

(NC) Coffee has become a
social ritual—a way to stand
out, a comforting daily
routine, and even a hobby
for some.
The way we like our coffee
speaks volumes, while the
way we serve it to others is
even more important.
Reach aficionado status
and impress guests with
these quick tips.
1. Know the lingo.
Bold? Smooth? Doppio?

and regions, as well as dairy
and water ratios, work to
create different layers, tones
and flavours.
The growing demand
for unique and customized coffee has resulted in
a number of international
trends crossing borders,
like Australia’s version of a
latte—the flat white.
With so much to know,
start with the basics and
work up to mastering the
ins and outs of an espresso

otherwise
known as a cup of gold.
2. Opt for the newest technology.
Gone are the days of
having to leave the house for
the best espresso in town.
Integrating
technology into your coffee routine
makes it easy to prepare
your morning java or
take guest’s coffee orders
without leaving the dinner
table.
3. Do your research.
Coffee has become a
personal trademark and a
point of pride for many selfproclaimed aficionados.
Before walking-the-walk,
it’s important to really
understand what makes a
full, well-rounded cup of
coffee.

Kids and parents are gearing up to head back to classes. Here are five
back to school health tips you can use.
Back-to-school
health essentials
(NC) With children
across the country
gearing up to begin
another
year
of
school, what better
time to explore some
ideas to help ensure
your child gets off to
a healthy and happy
start?
Here are the top
five back-to-school
health
tips
to
consider.
1. Set bedtimes.
It’s essential for
kids (and adults) to
get a healthy amount
of sleep each night
to
stay
focused
throughout the day.
Although
sleep
requirements
vary
somewhat
among
individuals,
most
adults need about
eight hours of sleep
each
night,
and
children and adolescents typically need
more than eight
hours to fuel growth
spurts as well as
developing
bones
and muscles.
Rather than have
them feeling groggy
in the morning and
getting upset when
they
oversleep,
encourage
earlier
bedtimes
for
adequate rest.
2.
Teach
good
hygiene habits.
With
so
many
people
around,
germs are bound to
be lurking in classrooms.
To
help
your
kids avoid getting
sick—and
prevent
them from bringing
viruses home—it’s
important to show
them how to protect
themselves.
Teach them to wash
their hands after
using the washroom
and before going
to lunch or eating a
snack.

A travel-sized hand
sanitizer is great in
a pinch if you can’t
get to a washroom,
but don’t overdo
it—using a disinfectant too much can
lower your natural
defenses.
3. Stock up on
healthy foods.
It might be easy
to pack your kids’
lunches
with
premade snacks, but
a healthy diet is of
the utmost importance and junk foods
don’t fit into the
equation.
Make it easier for
yourself by stocking
up on healthy graband-go foods like
fruits,
vegetables,
whole-grain bread,
and nuts.
For meals, stick
to lean proteins like
turkey and legumes.
4. Manage stress.
Ward away tension
and
anxiety
by
encouraging
your
little ones to exercise
regularly in a way
they enjoy, whether
it’s
rollerblading,
biking, team sports,
or walking around
the park playing
Pokémon Go.
Teach them proper
deep belly”breathing
and that a healthy
balance of work and
play is best.
5. Stock up your
medicine cabinet.
Save yourself a
last-minute
dash
to the pharmacy
by keeping your
medicine
cabinet
well-stocked for all
the scrapes, bruises,
fevers, and stuffy
noses your child is
bound to get.

Lloydminster and the horseless carriage
MY
LLOYDMINSTER
by Sandra L. Brown
The tempo of life increased substantially for our early pioneers with the
advent of the “horseless carriage”
(a.k.a. the automobile) followed by
the need for municipal bylaws and
traffic laws.
The demand for dealerships and
garages quickly developed.
Outings were a unique experience,
almost a novelty, and some say the
early automobiles were but a repair
shop on wooden wheels because of
frequent breakdowns.
Farmers initially cursed the automobile as horses were afraid and
many accidents occurred even
though horses had the right of way.
Farmers and town folk slowly
switched over to automobiles,
many of whom were very reluctant
despite the advantages of owning
one. Initial cost, supply of gasoline,
and technical problems were justifiable concerns.
Roads were few, often perilous
and in poor condition.
In winter, they were usually only
accessible by horse and sleigh.
Automobiles improved rural access
and provided a more efficient means
of agricultural transportation.
Generating new businesses and
recreational opportunities, automobiles were invaluable when medical
emergencies occurred.
In April 1907, Messrs. Lyons and
Thompson received their automobile, which they planned to use for
showing land, promoting Lloydminster.
Ivan Crossly opened a Ford Motor
Agency business in 1914.
Previously running the local livery,
he built a garage and delved into a
business that he knew little about.

Soon, though, he learned how to
drive and taught others.
Alberta passed the first Automobile
Act in 1906, setting speeds of 10 mph
in town and 20 mph in rural areas.
In 1911, men could drive at a
minimum age of 16 and women at 18.
The first driver’s licence issued in
Alberta was in 1929.
Saskatchewan followed in 1931 at a
cost of 50 cents per licence.
In the late 1940s, a driver’s test was
required before a licence could be
issued.
Passed in 1919, Lloydminster
(Saskatchewan) traffic bylaws were
established.
No vehicle shall drive over the
speed of 12 mph within the town.
Drivers were to keep to the right,
especially when meeting another
vehicle.
Remember, coming from England
our pioneers were used to driving on
the opposite side of the road.
When making a left turn, the driver
must proceed directly across the
intersection before turning in order
to stay on the right side of the street.
Drivers were only to make turns
where streets intersect or were close
to railway tracks.
Renegade drivers forging their own
roads in town were discouraged.
Persons under 16 years of age could
obtain written permission from the
Town Council to drive on the streets
if he or she proved their capability to
do so safely.
Any driver not complying with
these bylaws received a fine of
between $25 and $100 plus conviction costs.
If the driver could not pay, they
served a jail term of 30 days.
A bylaw in 1928 further regulated
the use and speed of motor vehicles in
the town of Lloydminster, Saskatchewan.
It also specified that no person
should drive a motor vehicle on a
highway in a race or on a bet.
An amended bylaw in 1953
regarding the traffic lights on the 50
Avenue and 44 Street intersection
specified the driver facing the green
light could proceed forward or make
a right or left turn.
Despite current law enforcement
and increased presence of officers,
Lloydminster drivers still do not
quite understand the colour of this
bylaw.
Interesting how history repeats
itself!
The price of the automobile was
not always the only reason why our
settlers chose to purchase that particular model.
Its styling and prestige were very
important amongst the more affluent
buyers.
Local prices varied as advertised in
1952 for used cars and trucks.
A price sampling includes, a 1932
Buick Sedan $175, 1936 Plymouth
Coupe $200, 1938 Ford halfton
truck with grain box $250 and 1949
Chevrolet one-ton truck $1425.
An echo of relying on horses
continues present-day with our
reference to rating mechanical
engines by horsepower.
Automobiles provide a technical
record of another era.
Passionate men and women
not only restore them to original
condition, they also preserve their
stories and display their restorations
of luxury at its finest.
Automobiles, born to perform, have
constantly changed the landscape of
transportation and aided in Lloydminster’s motoring progress.

Lloyd to be inducted into hall of fame
The Saskatchewan Baseball Hall
of Fame is proud to announce the
selection of the City of Lloydminster, Sask., to be inducted into the
Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of Fame,
Community Category, Aug. 20, in
Battleford.
Since its founding as a town in
1903, baseball has been an important
part of the history of Lloydminster.
A team photo from the Lloydminster Regional Archives dates back to
1909, when the population was less
than 1000.
In 1949, with a population of some
3000, a tournament was organized
that drew five times that number
to the Lloydminster Exhibition
Grounds, and warranted this news
item: “Flashing one of the hottest
infields seen in northern baseball
in many a year, Delisle trounced
Kamloops, BC, 12-1 in the final of
Lloydminster’s monster ball tourney
Wednesday.
The Delisle crew, featuring the
famed Bentley’s, pocketed $2000 first
prize.
The infield of Bev Bentley, Eddie
Brown, Dick Piper and Emile Francis
turned in an air-tight display to
choke off all Kamloops attempts and,
in turn, wielding mighty bats at the
plate.
A crowd of 15,000 sat in on the
second day’s show and about 10,000
saw the final game.
In the semi-finals, Kamloops
nosed out Sceptre 6-5 in 11 innings
and Delisle beat Lloydminster 7-6.
[Regina Leader-Post June 9, 1949].
This level of baseball encouraged
the organization of semi-pro teams
that entertained residents of Lloydminster and area in the 1950s and
early 1960s.
Interest in baseball has been a
constant in Lloydminster over the
years, with excellent facilities and
support of City municipal government, businesses and the public.
The City has excellent programs for
minor baseball under the direction of
Lloydminster Minor Ball Association, and has enjoyed great success
in Provincial and Western Canada
competition.
Two senior teams compete in the
North Saskatchewan River Baseball
League, and in 2012, the Lloydminster Twins won the League Championship for the fourth consecutive year, marking their thirteenth
straight year in the league finals.
Lloydminster natives that have
been recognized and inducted into
the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of
Fame for their contribution to the
rich baseball history of Saskatchewan, include Lucella Ross [McLean]
who played in the All American
Girls Professional Baseball League,
W.A. [Slim] Thorpe who brought
semi-pro baseball to Lloydminster,
Curly Williams, who starred with,
and managed, the Meridian teams,
Bob Jack, Sr., and Frank Spenrath as
builders, and Jay-Dell Mah, who was
the batboy for the Meridians, then
became a well known sportscaster in

Leo Wurtz in Hall of Fame
by Andrew Brethauer
[email protected]
Leo Wurtz never expected he would be in a Hall
of Fame.
But after a lifetime in the game of baseball as a
player, umpire and member of the Saskatchewan
Baseball Hall of Fame selection committee, Wurtz
himself will get the call on Aug. 20 to have his
name appear in the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall
of Fame, joining the City of Lloydminster and his
former team, the Marysburg Royals, as well as 16
other nominees, as the 2016 inductees.
“This is really one of the last things I ever
expected, especially at this late time,” said Wurtz.
“I’m very highly honoured that my peers would
think so highly of me that they would nominate
me first of all, and then the selection committee
would elect me. So I’m very honoured.”
Baseball was a game everybody played back in
the early 1950s, as Wurtz said every school and
city had their own team, making it easy to find
competition and games to play.
He started playing at nine-years-old, and by the
time he reached his late teens, Wurtz was playing
for the Saskatchewan junior champions, the
Saskatoon Optimist Juniors.
But it was the early start into the game that
got the hall of famer hooked, as the camaraderie between players was something he looked
forward to every time he went to the diamond, a
trait many ball players say is the reason they love
the sport so much.
“At school or wherever you went, people played
ball,” said Wurtz.
“Back in that era, every school district had a ball
team. There were ball tournaments every week.
There was much greater participation in the 50s
and 60s. I had an interest in it at a very early age,”
he said.
“I had a bit of talent for it as well and took
advantage of that.”
Wurtz would play with the Saskatoon Gems
junior baseball team in 1958-59, falling short in
both years in the Western Canada Junior Baseball
Championships.
By 1960, Wurtz was playing with the Marysburg
Royals, where he got the opportunity to replace his
boyhood idle, Glenn Hall, at first base, while travelling with the team to many tournaments, often
playing on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays and
Sundays throughout the province, as tournament
baseball was what teams competed in.
In 1962, Wurtz would found himself in the B.C.
Caribou League after moving provinces, playing
for the Revelstoke Spikes, who won the North
Okanagan Baseball championship. Wurtz returned
home a year later to play with the Saskatoon
Quakers.
With a consistent person batting average above
.300, Wurtz said he was a reasonably good fielder,
but hitting was his strength.
“I was normally No. 5 in the batting order and
that was one of my main strengths,” said Wurtz.
“I liked the fellowship, guys were always your
buddies—I enjoyed playing, enjoyed batting and
the competition,” he said.
Back in Wurtz’s era, Kindersley was a power-

house of a team.
“It was a really challenge to meet up and play
against them,” recalled Wurtz.
“We didn’t do too well, but it brought you to
where your level was by playing those better
teams.”
From the early 50s through to 1971, Wurtz was
also an umpire.
Back then, he said, there were no associations,
so if a team found out you were an umpire, they
didn’t care how good you were, they would just
ask you to come do the game.
Through that, he got to do tournaments, senior

ball games and provincial finals from the Senior
A to Intermediate A championship tournaments.
Now at age 77, Wurtz is still travelling every year
to ball parks in September to watch Major League
Baseball at a time when, as he says, the baseball is
the best calibre, right before the playoffs.
He taught school in Lloydminster, where he and
his wife Brenda continue to live, getting involved
in many other sports and community projects.
But he still loves baseball, and is honoured
to have his name with so many other great ball
players and teams in the Saskatchewan Hall of
Fame.

Lloydminster’s baseball history
by Andrew Brethauer
[email protected]
Lloydminster’s history in baseball
is almost as old as the city itself.
When the city first formed back
in 1903, it didn’t take long before
baseball was playing an important
part in its history, as the first reported
team dates back to 1909, when the
population was less than 1,000.
Today, 30 times that size, Lloydminster may not be a perennial
powerhouse on the diamond, but
they have managed to win provincial championships at every level,
while continuing to add new teams
and more players to their Lloydminster Minor Baseball Association
(LMBA).
And while eyes are on the future
of the game, there is always a time
to look back into the past and
remember what baseball meant to
the small community.
On Aug. 20, the community of
Lloydminster will be inducted into
the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall of
Fame, forever reminding people
what the sport meant to the growing
city.
“When you look at a sport like
baseball, it has been such a keystone
around so many communities in the
province,” said Kevin Kusch, LMBA
president.
“It’s something you can build a
discussion on,” he said.
“When people ask ‘Why do you
guys put in all the efforts that you
do to build such a program in the
community?’ and that is what it’s
about, to keep on going with what
has been done in the past in the
area.”
While the teams today under the
LMBA umbrella are known as the
Twins, teams in the past were known
as the Lloydminster Meridians.
A recorded tournament from 1949
saw more than 15,000 people come
to the Lloydminster Exhibition
Grounds to watch The Delisle Crew
defeat Kamloops 12-1 in what was
called the Lloydminster Monster
Ball tournament.
Five times the city’s population came out for the event, which
featured Lloydminster and Sceptre
along with the two finalists.
The Meridians played in the
Saskatchewan Baseball League in the
mid 50s, losing to North Battleford
in the 1956 Western Canada Baseball
League before joining with North
Battleford to make the Lloydminster-North Battleford Combines who
played out of the CanAm League.
In 1959, the Combines were again
runners-up in the Western Canada
final, losing to Willston.
Right after the game, two Willston
players left to join the Baltimore
Orioles, showing the level of baseball
in Western Canada was comparable
to the professional ranks.
That history is important to
baseball today, as Kusch said, you
can’t always be thinking about the
future of the game, as you have to
respect what was done in the past.
“It’s not just for the here and
now and for the future, it’s about
building upon what has been done
by so many in the past,” said Kusch.
“When you talk to some of the
people who have a history in the
sport longer than I have, it’s kind
of neat they’re able to show pride in
what they are doing and they have
an appreciation in terms of they’re
seeing you think this is something to
keep going with.”
Kusch, who has been president
of the LMBA for 15 years, feels
honoured to be the leader of a sport
that has so much history and roots in
the community.
When it’s put into perspective
that baseball has been played in
the Border City for over 100 years,
Kusch said it’s a cool feeling to know
he and the people currently involved
in baseball in Lloydminster, are part
of that growing history.
But it also offers a challenge, as
baseball is now in their hands and
the future of the game is forever
changing. It’s a responsibility they
don’t take lightly, and one that
comes with a lot of pride.
“As an association, it’s important
that we pride ourselves on that and
do the best job we can in building
something around baseball,” said
Kusch, who added it’s important to
ensure people understand where the
roots came from.
“You always have to remember
where you come from,” he said.
“If you lose that then you start
losing your identity and what’s
important.”

On it was a 40-year-old mobile home with two

as there was an older riverside home there an out
of area client wanted me to check out.
While there we took in the festival at the museum
mainly as an excuse to grab some delicious
homemade pie and ice cream.
I also renew acquaintances with a number of
locals I hadn’t seen for a while.
All in all, an interesting drive and a chance to see
how the crops in the region were progressing.
It’s a rare day when the phone doesn’t ring or I
don’t get stopped on the street by a client inquiring
about a situation they are encountering.
These topics can range from utility right of ways
to estate planning to valuation principles.
Some involve contentious issues involving
disputes with family, neighbours, condominium
boards, or municipal governments.
Others are more general including landlord or
tenant rights, recommended contractors, etc. or the
ubiquitous “how’s the market?”
I try to help the best I can as there have been
many times that I have needed someone to point
me to the best resource or give a referral.
That’s what being part of a community is all
about.
Supporting each other on life’s pathway.

Stain wood surfaces for an easy upgrade
(NC) For a simple and affordable update in any space in your
home, design experts recommend
staining your woods.
Great for creating everything
from a modern aesthetic to an
antique look, staining can align the
colour of a wood’s surface with the
room’s décor as well as emphasize
the gorgeous natural grain pattern
found in any wood.
You can add a stain and finish to
furniture, picture frames, and other
wood items for an easy DIY that can
be done on a weekend afternoon.
Here’s how to get the look:
Equipment
• Fine grit sandpaper
• Disposable rubber gloves
• Minwax Wood Finishing Cloths
• Clean rag
Directions
1. Sanding.
Always prepare the wood with
a light sanding so the coat goes on
smoothly and evenly.
Sand in the direction of the grain
to avoid unsightly scratches.
Make sure to remove any dust
before you begin staining.
2. Protection.
To keep hands clean, wear the
gloves provided in the finishing
cloths package.
Remember to close the front label
after you remove a stain cloth to
keep the remaining cloths from
drying out.
3. Application.
Using the stain cloth, wipe in the
direction of the wood, working the
colour into the surface. For a lighter
tone, wipe the stain off immediately after it has been applied.
When wiping off any excess stain
use a clean rag and wipe in the
direction of the wood grain.
Never allow excess stain to dry
on the wood surface as it will
cause excess adhesion and other
problems.
4. Evaluation.
After letting the finish sit for an
hour, evaluate your work.
If you want an even deeper
colour, wait one hour and apply a
second coat using a fresh cloth.
Once the stain has dried apply a
clear finish product to protect the
stain and the wood.

Obituaries
William “Bill” Rekrutiak
(1923 - 2016)
It is with great sadness
we announce the passing
of Bill Rekrutiak.
Bill was born in
Mundare, AB and moved
to Lloydminster in 1926. It
was east of Lloydminster
where he began farming
until retirement 54 years
later.
On July 7, 1953, he
married the love of his life,
Julia Kulczycki and they
were blessed with two
daughters.
“No job too big” - few
could pride themselves
with the list of lifetime
achievements Bill accomplished when it came to
community
service:
Junior Grain Club Leader,
Municipal Councillor and
Reeve of Wilton, Founding
Director of Sandy Beach
Lake Regional Park,
Trustee/Chairman
of
Lloydminster
Hospital
Board, Director/Chairman
of the Lloydminster
Co-operative
Ltd.,
Director/Chairman
of
Federated Co-operative
Ltd., Director of the
Northwest
Regional
Health District, Director of
the Saskatchewan Health
Care Association, Director
of Twin Rivers Home Care,
Director of Lloydminster
Health District, Founder of
the Slim Thorpe Recovery
Center,
Board
Member/Chair of the
Lloydminster
Housing
Authority, Director and
Chair of the Lloydminster
Figure Skating Club,
Director of Saskatchewan
Driver’s Licence Appeal,
Member of Lloydminster
Legacy Center, President
of Lloydminster Cancer
Unit and Provincial Executive, Lifetime Member of
BPOE, and Returning
Officer of the Constituency of Cut Knife/Lloydminster.
The list accumulatively
totals well over 200 years
of service. In 2008, Bill
received the Lloydminster
Lions Club Citizen of the
Year Award and in 2010,
received the prestigious
nomination
for
the
Saskatchewan Lifelong
Achievement Award from
SK Seniors Mechanism.
Bill’s interests through
his life included his
woodworking, as well as
his love for working
outdoors. He was an avid
curler and golfer and
travels included many
destinations but the
favorite
trips
were
camping and fishing trips
with his family whom
were his pride and joy. He
and
Julia
recently
celebrated their 63rd
wedding Anniversary. He
endearingly enriched the
lives of his daughters and
their families and was
always readily lending a
helping hand. He loved
visiting his four precious
grandchildren and partaking in their many activities
and one year ago was
blessed with his first
great-grandchild,
Isla
whom he adored.
Bill leaves to mourn his
wife Julia, daughters
Connie (Blaine) Cullen,
Donna (Stirling) Lehner;
four grandchildren, Travis
(Nichole) Cullen, Megan
(Byron) Cullen, Katelyn
and Karson Lehner; great
granddaughter Isla Cullen.
Bill was predeceased by
his parents Alex and
Kathleen, brother and
sister-in-law John and
Vera; niece, Debbie.
There is an encompassing void in our lives that
will never be filled and we
are blessed with beautiful
memories.
The family wishes to
thank the physicians and
staff at the Lloydminster
Hospital, the Lloydminster
EMS and a heartfelt thank
you to special friend, Dave
Levers.
Funeral service for Bill

TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Ready, set, go, Taurus! Go get that which you seek.
The odds are in your favour. Listening intently to a
colleague proves fruitful later at a meeting.
GEMINI
May 21– June 21
It never hurts to ask, Gemini. Make your request. It just
might be granted. A crisis in faith comes to an end
with a victory. Bravo!
CANCER
June 22 – July 22
Are you decisive, Cancer? Not really, but this week, the
situation warrants it. Make your decision and stand
your ground. A book inspires.
LEO
July 23 – August 22
Wise up, Leo. Not all is on the up and up. A queen bee
demands more and more at home. Impose some
limits before the situation gets out of hand.

Feeling boxed into a corner, Virgo? There is only one
way out, and you know it. A dream is within reach.
Grasp it and hold on tight. A request is fulfilled.

You’re grasping at straws, Libra. Do some investigating
before you make any moves. Whispers at the office put
you ill at ease. Relax. There is nothing new on the
table.

You’re a thinker. He’s a doer. Put the two of you together,
and you’ve got a winning combo. Set aside your
reservations and team up, Scorpio. A photo resurfaces.

Taskmaster you are not, but taskmaster you must be
in order for progress to occur. Draw up a list,
Sagittarius, and delegate, delegate, delegate.
