While they still have work ahead of
them, Friday was a big day and great
start for the Lloydminster and District
SPCA. Last week, not only did the SPCA
reopen after another outbreak of Parvo,
but they turned sod Friday morning in
preparation for their new building’s
foundation.
“We are a little bit behind schedule
than we had hoped and we still have
fundraising to do, but we have enough
to get the ground prepared,” said Trevor
Ollen, president of the Lloydminster
and District SPCA. “We have concrete
coming in the coming month and then
the building will be moved and set on its
foundation.”
Though the SPCA had obtained the
new building in April of 2005 and
planned to complete it in 2007, the lack
of funding has been responsible for the
delays and even though the SPCA is
making headway with the new facility,
they are still $300,000 short.
“The new building will be triple the
size which is terrific especially when
you consider we, the city of Lloydminster, are triple the size from when the
shelter was built in 1977,” said Ollen,
adding that programs like dog walking
and cat cuddling will be improved with
the new facility.
“The difference in service will be
remarkable, a place where people will
look forward to coming to.”
Another important feature the new
SPCA building will offer is an area to
isolate diseased animals, to prevent the
spread of diseases like Parvo.
“There will be a separate intake and

outtake, so they can be quarantined
and locked down. If anything breaks
out healthy animals won’t be affected,”
said Kelly Efford, community relations
manager. “It’s so important for the
animals and the community to have a
proper place to facilitate and hold the
animals, especially for the disease part
of it. We will have a separate place to
lock it down and keep it quarantined
and a lot cleaner.”
Though there is no concrete time
line as to when the new facility will be
completed, as it is dependent on the
remaining funds that need to be raised,
to date they have raised $150,000 for the
new building.
“We operate as the city pound and for
that we get the land for free basically, the
city still owns it, but we lease it and we
get 95 per cent of all revenue from your
dog licensing,” said Ollen. “In total we
get around $18,000, including the value
of that lease from the city, to operate
as the pound for them and in doing
so we do a much better job of caring
for animals. It speaks to the ongoing
funding that we do need, with $250,000
as our annual budget we do need to do a
lot of fundraising.”
Ollen and everyone at the SPCA are
thankful for the food donations from
local businesses and the public and invite
the community to share their fundraising
ideas. Presently, The SPCA offers sponsorships for a number of areas including
naming rights on the new building, park
and cat cuddling rooms. If interested in
sponsoring, donating or offering your
ideas, contact the SPCA at 875-2809.
The Colonial Days Parade has
named its two honourary marshals for
Wednesday’s festivities.
In honour of the Saskatchewan
Summer Games coming to town
later this year, SSG 2008 chairperson
Wendy Plandowski was chosen as was
possibly the city’s most prominent
athlete ever, softball player Lucella
Ross.
Ross climbed up the sport’s ranks
and played professionally for the
South Bend Blue Sox in Chicago for six
seasons beginning in 1943. She played
across the United States for nearly a
decade after that and finished up her
career with a spot in the Baseball Hall
of Fame in Cooperstown, NY in 1988.
In 1998, she was inducted into the
Canadian Hall of Fame in St. Mary’s,
ON.
Plandowski is a fourth generation
resident of the Border City and has
been involved in multiple events and
other charity organizations.
The parade begins at 10 a.m.
tomorrow and will run through
downtown and end at the Lloydminster Exhibition Grounds.

No time like now, for The Trews
of them and I really love them for what
they are. I just think we took more time
on this one and spent more time in the
studio.”
While it’s hard for MacDonald to
provide fans with an idea of what to
expect at Wednesday night’s show, he
offers what he has come to expect from
the audience.
“There are always at least a couple
of fights, much to our dismay,” said
MacDonald with a laugh. “It’s just
energy and getting off on the energy that
we are putting out – it’s fun.”
For those unable to catch The Trews
this summer, check out their website as
the band is posting regular installments
of their own tour documentary.
“It’s nice to give your fans an all access
pass to the way you do things on the
road. In the age of the internet, if you’re
not filling people in constantly, they tend
to move on to the next thing so we took
some friends on the road with us,” said
MacDonald, adding that it’s a taste of
what’s to come.
A DVD of The Trews live and touring,
with early footage is on the horizon for
the band, but for the present The Trews
will keep touring and taking it all in
stride.
Check out The Trews with special
guest, Tupelo Honey, Wednesday at 9
p.m. at Colonial Days.
It’s the perfect combination for most
– travel, music and summer – for The
Trews though, it’s just another day
at work. Touted as Canada’s hardest
working bands, The Trews are touring
coast to coast across Canada to support
their latest album, No Time For Later and
will be rocking the Colonial Day’s Goat
Grandstand on Wednesday night.
“The tour has been good and the
summer has been mostly shows at
festivals, nice weather and big outdoor
events,” said Trews lead guitarist, JohnAngus MacDonald. “The response has
been great across the board for the new
record so we are really thrilled about it.
We are grateful to be able to do what we
love for a living.”
Since releasing No Time For Later in
February, The Trews toured across the
US opening for Ace Frehley, the original
lead guitarist of Kiss, then jumped across
the pond and celebrated Canada Day
in England with a concert at Trafalgar
Square.
“It was neat to see another country
celebrating it and a neat set of circumstances to find yourself in on Canada
Day,” said MacDonald. “It’s also cool to
play with your heroes and we are lucky
to be able to do it and some of these
people picked us to open their shows.
The Trews will take the spotlight on the Goat Grandstand Wednesday night, leading the
Colonial Days lineup of music. - Photo submitted.

My name is Clover
We have bunny fever here at the SPCA!!! If you
are interested in adopting a cute, fury, little friend
come down to the shelter and take a look. We
have two very sweet bunnies that need to go to a
home where they will be loved and cared for. We
have Clover who we think is about 1.5 years old.
She is a Rex rabbit with the softest hair you will
ever touch when it comes to a rabbit. We also
have Bugzie who is only about 1.5 months
old...she is just a baby. If you have any questions
or just want to come down to the shelter to see
them, please do!

Ultimately, I think the greatest thrill is
to be your own headliner and not be
relying on any other act.
We have really been riding on that
high from this record.”
No Time for Later debuted at number
four on Nielson SoundScan Top Albums
and their single Hold Me In Your
Arms followed suit, knocking Britney
Spears out of the number one spot on
MuchMusic.
“We take it in stride and try not to
let it get to our heads, because what’s
important is playing really good
shows and making good records,” said
MacDonald. “If people like it enough
to buy it up and vote it to the top of the
chart, we are just really happy that it is
connecting with some people.”
The Trews have come a long way since
their big break, penning for the late Jeff
Healey and performing regularly at his
Toronto bar, Healey’s.
“I think this record is our best one,
personally. I think we put in more work
on this record behind the scenes, than
the previous two,” said MacDonald.
“The previous two were like glorified
live records, in that they were done
really hastily and not that I’m not proud

Four days of music
Expect to be among a throng of
Colonial Days Fair fans. Over the four
days, July 9 to 12, an attendance of 32,000
is expected.
“We are hoping it will be up, we
have a really strong fair and a really
loyal following so we are pretty certain
our numbers will be up,” said Corinne
McGirr,
Lloydminster
Exhibition,
marketing and sales manager, adding
that the outstanding lineup on the Goat
Grandstand is sure to attract even more
people to the fair.
“This year we are really rocking hard
on opening the night with The Trews and
Tupelo Honey,” said McGirr. “Thursday
is Honeymoon Suite for those older rock
fans. Last year we had Trooper and it

Drinking bear is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But being a Christian, that's a tough call. That's

I appreciate an audience that reacts to the music, even if they jump on stage and try to beat us up, I
think that's a fantastic reaction. I think that they're really hearing something then.

was such an overwhelming success we
thought we would stick with an ‘80’s
rock feel.”
Another blast from the ‘80s to take the
stage during Colonial Days will have
everyone ‘Shakin’ Like a Human Being.’
“Friday is going to be Kim Mitchell,
so you can’t go wrong with a little Patio
Lantern,” said McGirr with laugh. “For
the country fans on Saturday night we
have Charlie Major.”
Long before the much loved hot and
sunny days of July, the Colonial Days’
entertainment committee is busy at
work lining up top performers, like The
Trews and Kim Mitchell.

and so we start in the winter time,

The local RCMP were kept busy
over the Canada Day weekend as
the warm weather led to a number
of calls throughout the city.
“The best crime prevention is
minus-40 (degrees) and the worst
crime prevention is plus-30,” deadpanned Sgt. Ken Marchand.
The RCMP were on their toes for
all four days as RCMP catered to
a number of disturbances – many
alcohol related – including breaking
up fights, impaired drivers, assaults
and even an armed robbery on June
30.
“Just a lot of little (stuff),” said
Marchand.
He added that it was a little busier
than other long weekends, likely
because of all the events that were
going on in the city.
“A lot of times we find that the city
can be quieter on a long weekend. A
lot of people are out at the lake and
out travelling,” he said, adding that
many people only had Tuesday off
as well, so that likely contributed to
more sticking around.
“This one was busy and the warm
weather always makes it worse
for us. People start drinking and
partying and just because you’re
having fun, your neighbour might
not think so much.”

where so we can catch artists who are
coming through,” said McGirr. “We are
pretty fortunate because we coincide
with the Calgary Stampede, so we can
kind of piggy-back on some of their
entertainers.”
This year’s entertainment is expected
to draw music lovers of all ages and
preferences and is free with the purchase
of gate admission.
“We like to have a mix of old and new,
as well as country and rock, though it is
dependent on who’s touring and who’s
coming through,” said McGirr. “It’s the
biggest cliché in the world, but there is
something for everyone.”

The Government of Saskatchewan says
it has met its commitment to develop a
new school review process and criteria
for Schools of Opportunity with the
proclamation of the amendments to The
Education Act, 1995 and The Education
Regulations, 1986.
“Saskatchewan’s economy and population are growing,” Education Minister
Ken Krawetz said. “These changes to
legislation demonstrate that we understand how important schools are to rural
communities where increased economic
opportunities on the horizon have
brought an optimism for the future.”
To ensure the potential for future
economic growth is considered before
changes are made to a school, the new
Schools of Opportunity designation
will provide rural school divisions
with financial support that will allow
communities to demonstrate increased
school enrolments over a maximum two
year period.
The changes that were made law
recently include:
• setting minimum provincial school
review criteria on enrolment benchmarks
and distance to the nearest schools;
• establishment of a school review
committee with community representation;
• extending the timelines and clarifying school review process;
• outlining a funding formula for
schools of opportunity.
“We have struck a balance with these
amendments,” Krawetz said. “The
objective of the school review criteria is
to balance delivering education as close
to the students’ community as possible,
with the need to ensure a minimum
number of students by grade so as not
to place unreasonable expectations on
teachers for maintaining education
quality. Boards of education will continue
to have the authority to close schools or
discontinue grades.”
Additional amendments to the Act
and the regulations include an update
to provisions identifying students
with special needs and the removal of
mandatory memberships for secretarytreasurers in the Saskatchewan Association of School Business Officials.

I expected a rash of letters to the
editor and really received only one
and then another fax of a study from
Florida, if I remember correctly,
pointing out a whole host of problems
associated with the photo enforcement. Among the arguments was
that having it actually caused more
accidents because motorists were
breaking suddenly at intersections
to avoid being ticketed and causing
The negative feedback is frustrating. It might be different if this was a
city where the laws of the road were
followed at least most of the time
and decent driving practices were
common place. Unfortunately, this is
a city where basic driving skills seem
to be anywhere from charmingly
embarrassing to downright pathetic.
During any 10 minute commute you
will likely see someone cutoff needlessly, a red light flat out blown,
somebody going well over the speed
limit in a residential zone or an
illegal pass because of impatience at
an intersection.
I’m not naive enough to think that
every city doesn’t have its fair share
of driving problems. I’ve lived in
Saskatoon, where allowing someone
to merge onto a freeway is treated
with utter disdain. But, here there
is very little reason for the problems
that are encountered on a daily basis,
other than either lack of knowledge
or lack of respect for others on the
road. We don’t even have anything
that even remotely resembles a
freeway.
If it takes a couple of tickets for that
to change, I’m all for it.

Thirty-five kids took part in the Rope for Kids’ Sake on Thursday at the Exhibition Grounds.

Prenatal planning
I was asked what my due date is, I said
“Sept. 19.” With a little chuckle the lady
cleared her throat and said “The next
available class is Sept. 13, now, I think
that may be a little too close to your due
date.”
Continued on Page A8
The first ever Rope for Kids’ Sake was
a success on Thursday night, raising
$3,500 for the Lloydminster Chapter of
Big Brothers and Big Sisters.
About 35 youths took part in the event,
which included a free barbecue, roping
lessons and 10-team roping, sponsored
by local businesses.
“I didn’t know really know what to
expect,” said organizer Shane Adamson.
“It was a good turnout.”
The event was successful enough that
Adamson is confident it will be back in
the future.
“I think it’s probably something
that we’ll do next year for sure,” said
Adamson. “We’ll probably try to
advertise it a little more and have it a
little earlier, maybe in June sometime
when kids are still in school and kids
aren’t gone on holidays.”
Adamson also wanted to thank all the
sponsors and volunteers that helped
out.
“I didn’t really have any expectations,
everyone I talked to was happy with it,”
he said. “It was a lot of fun to rope with
the kids.”

So the thought of giving birth scares
me, I am not going to lie. There’s just
something not right about the fact that
your body can pop out a thing the size of
a watermelon. I know it’s been going on
for centuries, but come on! I am going to
need some convincing here. (And I guess
in about two and half months consider
me convinced!)
I am the type of person who likes to
be in the know, I like to be informed and
I, up until a week ago, was planning on
taking the prenatal services offered here
in Lloyd.
That’s right, I “was” planning on it,
but apparently you need to book these
things far in advance. I’m talking as
soon as you find out you are preggers,
register! I wasn’t informed of this. And
now I am going to be blind-sided by
labour!
I will probably be out on the farm,
mowing grass on the ride-on and my
water will break and I’ll just think “Oh
that silly little baby just stepped on my
bladder,” and I will continue mowing. Or
I picture myself on the farm alone, while
my husband is at work and I will be
frantically packing my bags and driving
myself to the hospital, stopping at every
neighbour’s house along the way hoping
someone won’t be in the field, so that
they can drive my clueless but about-togive-birth butt to the hospital. And God
bless whoever the lucky chosen one is,
because you’ll be coming into the room
with me until you can get my husband
to take your place! Consider yourselves
warned!
I have been reading the books and all
that, but I hear there are videos and as
disgusting and invasive as these videos
are, I want to see them!

Please, when you are handed the bundle
of info at your first prenatal exam, ask
your Doc about everything, even if it’s
obvious, because you are pregnant and
your little miracle is sucking everything
out of your body and leaving you with
the leftovers, hence leaving you with
Baby Brain.
And trust me, it just gets worse. Baby
Brain is basically when all pure and
centered thoughts escape you, well, not
the pure thoughts, ok maybe a few of
them.
But anyways, your brain loses itself
somewhere in that cranium and you
become, for lack of a better word, dumb.
Not with everything, but with a lot of
things. There have been so many times
where I was trying to say something
to my husband or my friends and I
would just blurt out the most ridiculous
things and I would look like a fool. And
honestly, I have probably even done that
in this column, because I just sit down
and type my friends and as much as I try
to filter, I can’t.
I think I have been doing pretty good
so far, but my apologies if something
strikes a nerve with any of my readers.
Back to the main focus here, (see what
I mean? Baby Brain.) I hope I can get into
some prenatal classes and I know it’s
not the fault of the workers, they were
great and are going to try to help me
out as much as they can, but Lloydminster needs more classes and groups for
expectant mothers.
Times have changed people. Pregnant
women don’t walk around wearing
moo-moos anymore and hide their pregnancies, we embrace it and we want to
know everything there is to know about
pregnancy, labour and bringing home
the baby. I know our maternal instincts
are supposed to kick in, but I am not
banking on that.

Cool treat
for kids
Smudge Fundae is among the children’s entertainment at Colonial Days, which officially
kick off tomorrow. – Photo Subnitted
Better than ice cream, local children
are in for a treat during Colonial Days.
Canada’s very own Smudge Fundaes
are looking forward to making their first
visit to the Border City to entertain the
kids on the Coca Cola Kid’s Stage, with
their original and delicious batch of
music for kids.
“The kids can expect the Smudge
Fundaes to come out and give them a
great show – singing, dancing, lots of
action, lots of participation, high energy
– it’s musical entertainment for children
and families,” said Sandie Thomson,
who along with Suzanne Nicks, are the
award winning Smudge Fundaes.
“We try to bring a little bit of everything, different kinds of music so it’s
very eclectic and kids are introduced to
different styles and kinds of music.”
Combining music, education and
entertainment, the duo who have been
at it for 13 years, offer a crowd pleasing
variety show.
“We have a puppet, she’s called Floa
the Boa, she’s big and colourful and
comes to all of our shows. The kids have
to help us feed her coloured pickles,
because the only thing Floa eats are
pickles,” said Thomson.
During the summer the Smudge
Fundaes entertain the masses at festivals
and fairs, in the school year they change
hats and present educational assemblies
in schools and they have their very own
television show in Ontario, Classroom
Crayons.
All of their hard work has paid off
recently, as the Smudge Fundaes brought
home the hardware winning the 2008
Canadian Children’s Group of the Year,
2008 Niagara Music Awards Best Children’s Group and the 2008 TVCogeco
Star Awards Winner.
“It’s the biggest award we have won
for Canada – we have put a lot of hard
work, time and energy into this. We just
love it and if we didn’t then it would
become work,” said Thomson.
During the past 13 years, the Niagarabased musicians have released five
recordings, have put out two seasons of
their television show and have performed
between 500 and 600 shows a year. Over
the years, the biggest challenge Thomson
and Nicks have faced is marketing.
“Our children grow up and move on
from the age group we target, so we are
constantly re-marketing. Your fan base
moves on, new kids grow into your age
group and families are now coming in
asking who we are,” said Thomson.
Despite this challenge though, the
Smudge Fundaes have not slowed down
and continue to do what they do best
and love.
Catch this Canadian treat daily during
Colonial Days.

How to Get a ‘Green’ Lawn
(MS) - There are millions of acres of manicured lawns in this country. From golf
clubs to parks to homeowners’ own front yards. Many people believe a perfect,
manicured lawn positively reflects back on the person who toiled for it, and evokes
a feeling of importance and pride. However, the steps most people take to achieve
that pristine, green lawn are often anything but green in the environmental sense.
Chemical Overload
Millions of pounds of chemical fertilizers and pesticides are applied to lawns, trees
and shrubs to keep them looking their best. But those “warning” flags the landscaper
erects after the lawn has been doused in a chemical bath should seem insidious to
everyone around. That’s because the chemicals used are harmful to the environment
and the people/animals that come in contact with those chemicals.
Studies of professional lawn care workers have shown they face of increased risk
of non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (NHL), currently the sixth most common malignant
cancer in the U.S., say reports by The Green Guide. Chemical runoff from pesticides
and fertilizers can seep into water supplies and other bodies of water in communities. Phosphates and nitrates found in chemical products help to rob ponds and lakes
of oxygen, essentially suffocating the plant and animal life residing there.
Air Pollution
The gasoline-powered equipment used to cut lawns, edge properties and trim
shrubbery contributes to air pollution. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
estimates that 5 percent of air pollution comes from mowers, trimmers, blowers and
chainsaws.
Drain on Water
Keeping lawns looking healthy requires thorough watering. But experts estimate
that a good deal of fresh water is squandered away keeping lawns and landscapes
up to par.
Putting the “Green” Back into the Landscape
By being environmentally conscious and exploring natural alternatives to lawn
care, homeowners can have their cake and eat it, too. Essentially they can have a
thriving landscape without the environmental side effects of chemical products and
other pollutants. Here are a few ideas:
1. Position large collection basins outdoors under the downspouts on your home.
These basins can collect rainwater that can be used to water garden plants during
dry spells, alleviating the drain on fresh water supplies.
2. Choose plants, trees and grasses that are indigenous to the area in which you
live. Essentially this is working with the environment, instead of trying to maintain
a landscape of intolerant species. Plants accustomed to the climate and natural
predators may require less water and fewer pesticides.
3. Look for organic fertilizers that will be a benefit for the environment rather
than destroy it. A great organic fertilizer that is very inexpensive is compost. Create
a compost heap in the yard or in a container to which you add grass clippings,
vegetable peels, egg shells, and other organic matter. Use the compost to feed the
landscape.

Vandals drill Grande Prairie in home opener
ROBB FENTON STAFF WRITER
The Lloydminster Vandals made sure
their home opener was worth the wait
as they welcomed the Grande Prairie
Drillers to Armstrong Field this past
Saturday.
The Vandals put on a show on both
sides of the ball, scoring seemingly at
will and often en route to a 52-10 blow
out of the previously unbeaten Drillers.
Vandals’ head coach Chris McKenna
said this was a great way to start their
season off at home and really liked the
game is team played.
“It was a good game and we executed
really well tonight (Saturday),” he said.
“I think the message is, we’re the top
team in the league. We should have won
in Edmonton, we should be 3-0, but
we’re playing like we’re 3-0 and we beat
a good team here today.”
After only three games, McKenna said
he has seen great improvement through
each week and he hopes it continues
leading up to the playoffs.
“We worked on our punting team, we
had some problems they were getting
in and blocking them, we did that
properly today. We had a lot of good
calls on defence and offence played
well,” McKenna noted. “We got to get
everybody in the game, it was just a
good game.”
On the other side of the field, head
coach for the Drillers, Doug Stenberg,
said his team was outmatched in this
game and was beaten by a better team
on this night.
“We knew they were going to be super
tough, they’re always tough and they
showed up to play and we didn’t. That’s
what happens when you aren’t ready to
play,” he said. “We missed Nate (quarterback Nathan Aldred ), but you win as
a team, you lose as a team and today we
got thumped.”
The Vandals received big plays from a
number of different sources, both offensively and defensively.
They opened the scoring after an interception gave them the ball and running
back Curtis Vetter busted through the
gut for a 48-yard run to set up a Jared
Valleau two-yard touchdown run.
The Vandals took over the game in the
second quarter, outscoring the Drillers
21-0. Valleau was once again the key,
running for his second score of the
game, as well as throwing two touchdowns, one to Jordan Priebe and one to
Ken Fisher.

Vandals’ special team and defensive
all-star, Brad Ollen, was a perfect fourfor-four on extra points in the half and
added an interception late in the second
quarter to set up Fisher’s touchdown.
Down 28-3 to begin the second half, the
Drillers intercepted a pass and scored
an early touchdown to cut the lead to
28-10.
The Vandals quickly responded,
scoring three touchdowns, Fisher’s
second, a Matt Loveseth punt return
and a Trevor Townend pass to Andrew
Herrick.
The Vandals closed out the third
quarter up 45-10 and capped off the win
with a 100-yard fumble return by Dirk
Treptow.
Fisher, who had two touchdown
catches as well as a number of highlight
reel snags, said his team clicked in their
return home after two road games and
a three week break, which was nice to
see.
“We had a good team game all around.
Defence played incredible, offence
moved the ball, so we’re very happy
with that game,” he said.
“We were able to mix it up on offence.
We can move it running, we moved it
passing and they didn’t know what was
coming. Defensively, their quarterback
was scrambling for his life all night
because they were getting pressure on
him. That’s what we wanted to do at
the start of the game and that’s what we
did.”
Another standout from the home
opener was Loveseth, who had two picks
and the long punt return for a score.
“We usually have pretty tight games
against these guys, but the home field
advantage is a huge thing. We weren’t
expecting something like this, but it’s
nice to come out and see our offence
play strong and our defence as strong as
usual,” Loveseth said.
The Vandals (2-1) next action is July
19, when they welcome the Red Deer
Buccaneers (1-3) to Armstrong Field.

Bantam Rebels
tourney ends early
It has been an up and down season for
the Lloydminster girls bantam B Rebels
and that season didn’t end quite the way
they wanted this past weekend.
The Rebels hosted the bantam B
provincial championships at Legion
Ball Park and although they started the
weekend off on the right foot, it quickly
went south and the team was eliminated
prematurely.
Rebels’ head coach Tracy Blanchard
was obviously disappointed with how
her team finished up, but said there
were positives to take from the weekend
heading into next season.

REBELS
“It started off okay, then it seemed like
the wheels fell off and there seemed to be
no way to pick yourself back up. The girls
did have some good games throughout
the season (and the weekend) and they
learned a lot,” she said.
“A lot of more inexperienced ball
players are really happy with what
they’ve learned in a short period of
time.”
The tournament, which kicked off
Friday afternoon, saw 10 teams invade
the Border City.
The Rebels first game to begin the
tournament was against the Champion
Lions.
This was the best game of the tournament for the Rebels; not only for the
score, but the way they stepped up and
started the weekend off right.
A strong effort saw them walk away
with a 14-4 win and a great deal of confidence.
Blanchard said it was big for her team
to start the tournament strong and
she hoped they could hold onto the
momentum and compete for a title.
“It’s always exciting to get your first
win of the tournament, it really sets the
tone. The second game didn’t go so well,
it just seemed like we started off well
again in the first couple innings, but the
wheels fell off and there was no turning
back,” she noted.
“Sometimes that happens and with
young kids, they get down and don’t
know how to deal to get out of the jam,
but we have to take the good with the
bad and look towards next season.”
Blanchard admitted her team may
not have been as skilled as some of the
others, but she said inexperience was
the main reason they didn’t do as well
as she had wanted to.
“Totally, the inexperience of the team,”
Blanchard said of what hurt them in
the long run and tough moments of
this tournament. “I know there are only
a couple of the girls that have actually
had some A experience, the rest are
probably at C. So they stepped it up a
notch and they see a lot harder hitting,
faster pitching and they’re not used to
that. They did improve a ton, so I was
really happy with that.”
After the big opening win, the Rebels
dropped the next three games, falling
18-2 to Calgary Southfour, 14-8 to the
Edmonton Royals and 17-2 to Calgary
Nosecreek triple threats, a loss that eliminated them from the semi-finals.
Blanchard noted that the improvement was something she was happy to
see and something she was looking for
throughout the season.
“It is (improvement) what we were
shooting for. I didn’t expect for one
minute we were going to walk away
from this tournament with a gold medal
around our neck, but our goal was to
teach the kids some basic fundamentals
and see if we could step it up a notch
here and there,” she said, adding she
believes her team could win, but they
would need some help.
“We pulled off some really nice plays,
the fielders were catching some nice
balls, it was good that way.”
Blanchard saw a lot of improvement
from a number of her players, which
was something, she is happy with and
hoping continues into next year so the
team is back and better than ever.
“There were some girls that hadn’t
been hitting the ball as much all season,
they picked it up, bared down and got
some hits when we needed them. Clutch
hits are key in this game and with the
girls getting up and down it’s like a
roller-coaster ride emotionally, so when
some of those girls that hadn’t hit the
ball much as of late got some nice hits,
it really picked everyone up,” Blanchard
explained.
“We knew we might not be contenders
as far as gold medals, as long as we can
keep the city full of ball players, that’s
what we’re shooting for.”
Saskatoon-Regina
awarded WJHC
BY SOURCE STAFF
Hockey Canada has decided and
is soon to announce Saskatoon and
Regina will host the 2010 World
Junior Hockey Championship.
The Saskatoon-Regina group was
bidding on either the 2010 or 2012
championships which would be the
first time it hosted the event since
1991.
Although the announcement has
not been made public, it is likely to
happen in the next few days.
In 1991 when Sasktoon hosted the
even, the Canadian roster included
Eric Lindros, Scott Niedermayer,
Kris Draper and unlikely hero John
Slaney, who scored a late goal to edge
the Russians in the gold-medal game
at the building now known as Credit
Union Centre.
Other prominent players in the
‘91 tournament included Pavel Bure
(Russia), Doug Weight (United States)
and Ziggy Palffy (Czechoslovakia).
Saskatchewan bid unsuccessfully
on the last four world junior tournaments awarded to Canada: Winnipeg
(1999), Halifax (2003), Vancouver
(2006) and
Ottawa
(2009).
Finally
winning
the right to
host, due
to lack of
applications from
other cities,
Saskatoon
will host one group and Regina will
host the other.
Saskatchewan will also likely send a
number of locals to the tournament.
Saskatoon-raised forwards Jimmy
Bubnick and Brayden Schenn are
pegged as elite prospects, as is
Saskatoon Blades defenceman Stefan
Elliott of North Vancouver, B.C.
According the Star Phoenix,
Canada’s preliminary-round games,
as well as the medal round, would be
played at Saskatoon’s Credit Union
Centre.
The facility is scheduled to undergo
a significant facelift with plans for
new dressing rooms and the addition
of about 1,000 seats to increase
capacity to 12,000.
Regina’s 5,600-seat Brandt Centre
will host round-robin action for the
other pool.
The tournament will get underway
Boxing Day and will run for just
under two weeks, with the gold
medal game going Sunday, Jan. 3.

The
Lloydminster
Accurate
Machine
Reapers continued to roll
over the competition in
the Saskatchewan Rugby
Union this past weekend,
as they travelled to
Saskatoon and dismantled
the Wild Oats.
The
Reapers
who
remain undefeated with
the win sent yet another
message with the lopsided
42-0 win, solidifying their
claim as the top team in
the league and top team
in the province.
Reapers’ captain Shaine
Wald said this win was
likely the best to date and
the most complete game
the team has played so far
this season.
“I’m most pleased with
that game so far this year.
Our forwards really, really
took it to their forwards
and the momentum that
they carried through
was really, really good,”
he said. “They’re really
filling the part of our team
that was maybe down
the last two years. Our
forwards are becoming
really strong and it’s nice
to see them start to click as
a group. Seeing them pick
up the pace and pick up
some trys this weekend
was nice.”
The slow start seems
to be a trademark of this
year’s Reapers team and
this weekend was no
exception.
Although they piled up
42 points, it did take some
time for them to score
their first.
Wald admitted it is a
bad habit to get into, but
said after they scored
once, everything started
clicking after that.
“We had a little bit of
bus legs, we didn’t get
our first try probably until
15 minutes into the game.
The weather wasn’t the
greatest, it was really,
really windy up there,
so it took our game plan
of running the ball wide
right out of it,” Wald
explained. “We did have
a little bit of discipline
problems the first five or
10 minutes and got into a
little bit of penalty trouble
early, but we seem to take
10 minutes each game to
wake up and luckily we
could hold them off the
board for that long and
keep the shutout.”
Wald said this year he
is seeing a more well
rounded game by the
Reapers,
noting
the
defence is catching up to
the offence.
“Offence is something
we have always had,
we’ve always been able to
put quite a few points on
the board and for the last
two years we’ve really
been working on our
defence and this weekend
our coach (Dean Murten)
challenged us,” Wald
noted. “He said he doesn’t
want any points on the
board for 60 minutes. We
held them off for 80, even
after all our reserves went
in and everybody got time
to play, they still didn’t
get any points. That just
shows the depth of our
team and how the rookies
are filling in. We don’t see
a problem bringing them
into the lineup.”
Wald said the win over
the Oats at home was big,
but winning on their turf
was something he was
very happy with and is
hoping his team can use
that momentum and
confidence in the future.
“We still think they’re
the second best team in
the league. They are the
closest to us, but that just
shows our strength,” he
said. “We’re almost ready
to get up to that next
division.”
The Reapers will look
to remain undefeated this
weekend when they take
on the Saskatoon Krems,
Saturday at E.S. Laird.

Work from home: costs and benefit
and services.”
(NC)-Consider taking the plunge
and get ready to dive into your own
home-based business. But, before
you make your final decision, be
sure to weigh all of the costs and
benefits.
Be sure to set aside enough money
to pay your income taxes, since
they will no longer be deducted
automatically from a paycheque.
“You may also want to adjust your
spending habits and establish
a larger rainy day fund to help
manage dry spells,” says Ball.
You will need supplies, a separate
business telephone line, a computer,
software and a high-speed Internet
connection. But that’s just the
beginning.
Benefits associated with starting
a home-based business include
flexible hours, being your own boss,
and saving the time and money
associated with commuting.
“People tend to focus on office
costs, such as equipment and
supplies,” says chartered accountant Bruce Ball, partner, National
Tax of BDO Dunwoody LLP in
Toronto. “But one of the biggest
costs involved, if you are making
the transition from being an
employee to starting your own
business, is that you will no longer
receive vacation pay and have
pension, life insurance, or health/
dental care benefits.”
“You will also be able to take
advantage of a wider variety of tax
deductions, including deducting
costs relating to your home office,”
says Ball. Deductible home-office
expenses include rent, mortgage
interest, realty taxes, insurance,
utilities and maintenance. The
percentage of space in your home
that you use for your office will
determine the amount you can
claim.
Keep in mind that you will be
performing most tasks by yourself.
“There are significant costs associated with the time required to
perform the necessary ‘administrivia’ related to any business,” says
chartered accountant Garnet Lasby,
CEO of Integrated Business Intelligence Corporation in Hamilton.
“Even the smallest business needs
to perform bookkeeping tasks,
manage payroll and look after tax
filings.”
Many home-based business
owners do earn as much or more
than they did when they were
employees. “And even if their
paycheque is slightly smaller, the
additional family time and flexibility often make up for it,” says
Lasby.
Before you start your homebased business, consult a chartered
accountant.
Home business owners often
neglect to purchase insurance or
forget to factor in marketing costs.
“Product liability or errors and
omissions insurance can be very
expensive, and is often overlooked
until there is a problem, such as
a lawsuit, by which time it is too
late,” says Lasby. “Marketing can
also be costly, but customers have
to be able to find your products
“Your CA can help you make sure
you receive all the tax deductions
you are entitled to,” says Ball.
Adds Lasby, “CAs can advise
you on almost any facet of your
home-based business, from initial
business planning, to start-up, to
operation.”

Crazy in-law situation
Need some advice? Ask Granny!
granny@lloydminstersource.com
Dear Granny,
I am a 32-year-old man who has always dated and
enjoyed older women. I was never able to have a good
relationship with women my age or younger.
Recently though, I met a younger woman and after a
few dates, realized that maybe this is the one for me. I
totally enjoy her company and have so much fun with
her. I actually think I am falling in love with her. But her
mother is hitting on me. She seriously makes passes at
me constantly.
It is so obvious, I am afraid my girlfriend is going to
notice. Should I tell her and get her to talk to her mother,
or leave it alone and hope for it to end on its own. I really
don’t want to lose the girl I love. I feel like a toy when
I’m around her.
Toy Boy
Dear Toy Boy,
How ironic. For how long did you enjoy this affection
and now are afraid of it? I really think you can handle
the situation.
By all means don’t get your girl involved. The best and
easiest way out is to laugh it off. Turn each situation into
a joke of some sort and laugh about the actions of mom.
Be sure to do it in front of your girl whenever you can,
so she knows it is a silly move on mom’s part. Soon the
passes and flirting from the older woman will hopefully
stop.
Good luck,
From an older Granny
Dear Granny,
On June 17, 2008, a man wrote in saying he thought
his wife had had an affair.

Attention: Gary Graham
Service Manager
Years ago when my husband was in his 50s or 60s, he
was very depressed. I finally found out that he thought
I’d had an affair.
I’ve never had an affair and was always true to him. He
has now passed away, but I put it to male menopause,
as a neighbour lady of mine told me that her husband
thought the same thing of her when he was about that
age.
You probably won’t read this as I didn’t sign my name,
but I just wanted to express my opinion.
Sad Survivor
Dear Survivor,
Firstly, thank you. I value your opinion. You don’t need
to sign your name, I read all letters and try to answer
them accordingly in hopefully a timely manner.
It is a medical fact that men do go through a menopause
time. I jokingly think it is from 16 to 96 years. But yes,
it can have a serious effect on people around them. I
really feel that more time and help has to be offered to
the males in our society. How many of them would even
admit to this?
In their world it only happens to women. We have
to educate them. Thank you for your thoughts. You
are a survivor of something that probably hurt you a
lot at the time. They are Man, we are woMan and we
are all huMan. So with that in mind it should be talked
about more openly so we can all be on the same level of
emotions and feeling.
I would like to feel that the gentleman in question can
clear up his fears and that maybe this is what he needs
to hear from you.
