All it does is hand an advantage to Canada’s competitors. Worldwide oil consumption has been on an upward trajectory, and with the COVID-19 pandemic subsiding in much of the world, resump- tion in demand will soon be obvious this year and next. With consumption data going back to 1997 and a forecast to 2022 from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, consider some rel- evant statistics about the quarter-century trend. In 1997, worldwide oil consumption was 72.1 million barrels daily. That demand grew steadily, including through 9/11, and reached a new high of 86.7 million barrels daily in 2008. The Great Recession stalled consumption growth a bit, dropping by 900,000 barrels daily in 2009 to 85.8 million daily barrels. Post-recession, worldwide consumption grew again from 88.7 mil- lion barrels in 2010 to a new high of 100.9 million barrels daily in 2019. In 2020, demand dropped to 92.3 million barrels as the pandemic hit and as governments and businesses shut down much of the world economy. However, the EIA forecast for this year is 97.7 barrels of oil consumed daily, with 101.4 million barrels of oil used daily in 2022. If the U.S. forecast is correct, by next year worldwide oil consumption will again hit new daily highs. As of 2022, half a million more barrels of oil per day will be used by consumers, businesses and governments than in MDHCF makes a good case the previous peak year in 2019. But as smart investors often remark, past performance is no guaran- tee of future returns. And for oil, plenty of politicians, pundits and even the International for Moosomin CT Scanner Energy Agency not only predict but are working toward oil’s near-term The Moosomin and District Health Care Foun- demand destruction.

Co-op donates $1,800 to gym wall project Borderland Co-op donated $1,800 to McNaughton High School for the school’s gym wall project. The school is removing old strips of wood on the wall and redoing the wall with new wood before painting a large mural on the wall. The estimated cost of the project is $5,000 and McNaughton staff say they will be doing much of the work them- selves over the summer months. The donation from Borderland Co-op will pay for half the new wood needed for the wall. From left are McNaughton High School Principal Jeff St. Onge and Vice-Principal Sherrie Meredith accepting the donation from Savannah Roden with Bor- derland Co-op.

Painting a rainbow crosswalk

Volunteers worked together to paint a rainbow crosswalk in Moosomin on Sat- urday, June 19. The crosswalk was paint- ed across Mark Av- enue by Main Street. Moosomin resident Bailey Koroluk spear- headed the initiative, selling Moosomin pride stickers to raise funds for the project. She sold out of the stickers within a day, and also had dona- tions from local busi- nesses. Lots of volunteers were eager to help with project on June 19, including lots of children who were ex- cited to help paint.

Above left: Bailey Koroluk who spearheaded the project lays down the fi rst roll of paint to get the project started.

Surprise customer at the lake store When a customer popped into Granny Mo’s, the store at Moosomin Lake on Sunday, June 20, and asked for some coffee and cake, the staff didn’t realize that they had a pro athlete as a customer until he returned with a Rider jersey and signed it for them. The customer was former Sask Roughrider Charleston Hughes who now plays with the Toronto Argonauts. Hughes signed with the Roughriders after being traded to Saskatchewan in February of 2018. He went on to play 34 regular season games in green and white, making 85 defensive tackles, 31 sacks, seven forced fumbles and scoring two touchdowns. He also played in two playoff games making six tackles and a sack. Hughes was a CFL All-Star both seasons he played for the Riders and was the team’s 2019 nominee for Most Outstanding Defensive Player. Prior to coming to the Riders, Hughes played 10 seasons with the Calgary Stampeders and won two Grey Cup Championships. After being released by the Riders, he signed with the Toronto Argonauts. Hughes posed for a photo with Mona Sorenson, a huge Rider fan, who runs the lake store. He also posed with Laura Barry. At left is Hughes signing the jersey.

BY SPENCER KEMP LOCAL JOURNALISM INITIATIVE REPORTER Students from Wawota Parkland School celebrated graduation last Saturday with an outdoor ceremony and a parade. Parkland School principal Jos Risling says that the cer- emony went well even under the Covid restrictions in place at the time. “The ceremony was wonderful. It was a beautiful day and the students were all supported by their loved ones and it was just a great event overall. Everybody was well- spoken, in good spirits, and in great humor. It was just greatly received by everyone. “We had our ceremony outdoors. The graduates rented an outdoor tent and basically, we just set up with all the regulations and had an outdoor venue.” Following the ceremony was a parade put together by the graduates as well as the parent’s committee that saw WKHJUDGXDWHVWRXUWKHWRZQOHGE\WKHÀUHGHSDUWPHQW While the past year has been tough for students, Risling says that the graduating class of 2021 remained optimistic through the pandemic. “They have been so resilient and see things as glass- half-full and it hasn’t been easy on anyone. If we’re hon- est, yes there were challenges and struggles but we’re here now, it’s the end of June and it was a beautiful cer- emony to cap it all off.

The casket can be open during the hours of visitation and closed during the fi nal rites, or it can remain open, or remain closed.

BY ED JAMES To say the least, the Covid-19 Pandemic has been disrupted to so many events in our world and the annual Royal Cana- dian Legion Remembrance Day, literary and poster competition was no exception! However, thousands of students across the country took part in the event despite the many delays that were faced. The Plainview Hutterite Colony, west of Elkhorn has been actively involved for many years, with its students being selected as winners in all age and grade groups. Recently, a student at the colony was good enough to have her intermedi- ate black and white poster make it to the Legion’s Provincial Command level for judging. This an impressive feat, con- sidering the school only has 41 students from grades K to 12, and a staff of seven half and full-time members. In fact, over the past few years the school has had 27 first and second place winners at the local level judging. A special presentation was held at the school for Grade 9 student Cristina Wald- ner, a provincial level winner. To reach this stage her artwork was judged at the Legion Branch level, moving on to zone, district, and then provincial level. The provincial level included entries from all over Manitoba and Northwest Ontario. If she had been successful at the provincial level, the next step would have been the national level, with the winning submis- sion printed in the Legion’s national mag- Christina Waldner, a Grade 9 student at Plainview Hutterite Colony School, receiving a certificate of recogni- azine and her work hung in the National tion and gift card for her success in getting her Remembrance Day poster to the Manitoba/Northwest Ontario war museum in Ottawa for one year. provincial level.

Tundra Chad Carpenter 26 The World-Spectator - Moosomin, Sask. Monday, June 28, 2021 McNaughton High School Sports: ‘A 50 Year Replay’ A panel of three people—Terry Lynd, Margie Gibson and Barry Rambold—have researched and compiled a 50-year history of sport at McNaughton High School, which they have been sharing with World-Spectator readers over the next few months. The group has done extensive research and has touched base with some former Moosomin athletes to see where they are now, and will be recognizing some of McNaughton High School’s greatest athletes of all time. We thank them for their work and hope you enjoy the shared results. Gold Rush 2001-2005 There is no doubt the years between 2001-2005 were the JRWEDFNWR3URYLQFLDOVLQ7KH\ÀQLVKHGDUHVSHFW- 9.
