A large scale value added agriculture industry is eyeing Melville as a possible location for construct- ing what would be a first of its kind facility in Can- ada, potentially bringing more than 100 direct jobs and close to 200 indirect jobs to the city. City council has agreed to spend up to $175,000 on planning and engineering for an 80-acre industrial development parcel in the southwest section of the city in hopes of attracting the new multi-million dol- lar industry. The funds, which will be allocated from the land development reserve and borrowing, was ap- proved for use after six months of discussion between the city and the unnamed ag-based company. “We have to make the investment to make any- thing happen.

Knox mask up as Rexentre opens

By Alan Hustak Grasslands News

Wearing a mask is nothing new for Fort Knox goalie Caelan Armstrong but the rest of his team-mates were learning to get comfortable with face masks as they laced up under strict pandemic guildelines for the first team practice in Fort Qu’Appelle when the Rexentre opened for the season on Oct. 1. “We’re glad to be home on our own ice, in our own dressing room. We’re very excited about the roster we have assembled; we have a lot of returning players from last season, and have added a mix of new players as well,” said team manager Jarrod Williams. “Our fin- gers are crossed as we wait for an announcement from the province as to when we can start playing games.” In spite of some complications and a mechanical failure, the Rexentre opened on Oct. 1, and will be able to accommodate several user groups. Skate Fort Qu’Appelle and Prairie Storm minor hockey used the facility on the weekend. Under the Rexentre’s new guidelines only 30 skat- ers including coaches are allowed in the arena at any one time. The concession stand is not open. Players are encouraged to arrive in uniform to reduce the use of the dressing room, use sanitizers, practice safe dis- tancing in the dressing room, and if any player is ill or symptomatic, they have to stay home. Protective face gear has to be worn, and players ar- en’t allowed to hang around the dressing room either before or after practice. Rin Beny, who was with the Melville Millionaires last season before joining the Knox this year, said in spite of the rules he is just happy to be back on the ice, ??? | GRASSLANDS NEWS “helping out each other.” Team-mate Matthew Plews Lacing up agreed. “We’re just trying to get back to normal, ev- )RUW.QR[SOD\HU-RHO1LHPHJHHUVODFHVXSIRUWKHWHDP·VWUDLQLQJSUDFWLFHDWWKH5H[HQWUHLQ)RUW4X·$S- eryone playing as a team; that’s our goal,” he said as pelle.
