Civic Auditorium closed over structural and other concerns FUTURE OF THE BUILDING SLATED TO BE DECIDED NOV. 20

By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca

The future of Estevan’s venerable Civic Auditorium is in doubt, after the results came in from a survey commissioned by the City of Estevan earlier this year.

The city received the survey from WSB & Associates, an engineering firm, on Nov. 6 and announced the closure of the 60-year-old building the following day.

It’s not known when, or if, the Civic will reopen.

Estevan city council is expected to make a decision on the Civic’s future at its next meeting on Nov. 20.

City manager Jeff Ward said council decided to move forward with the survey after some council members received concerns about the heating and other problems in the building during the 2016-17 hockey season. At that time, council was in the midst of budget deliberations, and discussed

the possibility of spending $250,000 on repairs to the building.

“At that point, it was decided that before we start pouring money into this, let’s get a structural study done,” Ward told the Mercury. “The last one was done in 2004, so let’s get a structural study, and make sure we’re not throwing bad money at something.”

Any possible repairs to the Civic were tabled until the structural study was finished. The structural survey had been discussed for several years, but didn’t happen until this year.

Facilities manager Rod March put out a tender earlier this year for the study, which examined structural, mechanical, architectural, electrical, fire protection and other components of the rink. The document made recommendations, with costs, for discussions.

Mayor Roy Ludwig said the needs were divided

into high priority, which are obviously council’s biggest concern, as well as medium priority and low priority.

Ward said the report revealed some “pretty glaring” structural issues with the building. Since 2011, and last year in particular, some of the water issues have caused some areas to sink on the north side.

“At that point, there was some breaking of brackets and beams that were significant enough that council said ‘Let’s close this immediately. Now that we know about it, we can’t let people in here in good conscience in case something happens,’” said Ward.

The structural and architectural issues were the biggest sources of concern for the firm that handled the survey.

The city did reach out to the engineering group to see if they would give clearance for people to enter the building, but without immediate

At that point, council decided to close the rink indefinitely, because it couldn’t allow people

in there.

Ward said the initial estimate to dig up the north end of the arena, and see what is happening, is $300,000.

Then there would be the costs associated with repairs to bring the arena up to code.

Any upgrades will have to meet new fire and electrical standards.

Until the study came out, the Civic was operating as normal, and without issue.

SaskPower minister says no decision has been made on the future of Units 4 and 5 at Boundary Dam

By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca

SaskPower is claiming that a decision hasn’t been made on the future of Units 4 and 5 at the Boundary Dam Power Station.

Earlier this month, SaskPower president Mike Marsh said to a CBC editorial board that it was “highly unlikely” that SaskPower would recommend Units 4 and 5 at Boundary Dam be retrofitted with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. Instead, the Crown corporation would recommend natural gas as a baseload power option.

But now Dustin Duncan, the minister responsible for SaskPower, said the Crown corporation is still doing its due diligence on whether to retrofit the two units.

Once a recommendation is made, it would go to the SaskPower board of directors, and then it would come to the Crown Invest-

ment Corporations’ board and cabinet for approval.

“At this point, it hasn’t even gone to the SaskPower board, so there has not been a final decision made at all,” said Duncan.

Duncan wasn’t present when Marsh made the comments. But Duncan did say it was “unfortunate” that Marsh made those comments, because they created a lot of uncertainty, particularly for those in southeast Saskatchewan.

However, Duncan added that Marsh has clarified the comments to indicate there will be a number of factors that go into the decision.

While natural gas is viewed as the more affordable option now, Duncan said it has also been subject to wild price spikes in the past.

“Natural gas, back in 2008, 2009 and 2010, had been anywhere from a low of four dollars a gigajoule all the way up to $17 a

The Boundary Dam Power Station has hosted many tours like this one since the carbon capture and storage project opened in 2014. SaskPower says a decision hasn’t been made on whether to retrofit Units 4 and 5 at Boundary Dam. File photo gigajoule,” said Duncan.

“We have to be competitive with other costs of electricity production, but that being said, right now, gas is selling at a very low price, and that will be a factor.”

The expectation is that natural gas prices will remain low for at least the next year, he said, but it is a commodity, and prices can swing wildly.

As for whether the price to retrofit Units 4 and 5 has gone down, Duncan said that information has yet to be presented to him. The federal government financially supported the initial CCS project at Boundary Dam, which helped lower the costs for SaskPower.

“I know there is interest from the federal government in CCS technology,” said

Duncan. “Minister McKenna (federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna) has toured Estevan and has toured the project, and so any project moving forward, we would have to see whether or not there would be an interest in doing another partnership with the federal government.”

There have been discussions with the federal

government about continued investments in CCS, he said.

A decision on the future of Units 4 and 5 is expected to be at the end of this year or early next year, but Duncan noted that it doesn’t need to happen until late in 2018.

Duncan said SaskPower is close to signing an equivalency agreement with the federal government, A2 » INTEREST

Robert Kitchen seeks re-election for the Souris-Moose Mountain riding

By William Acri wacri@estevanmercury.ca

Current Souris-Moose Mountain MP Robert Kitchen is seeking re-election for 2019 and he will be running as a member of the Conservative Party under Andrew Sheer’s leadership.

Kitchen has expressed a great deal of concern over the cancellation of the Energy East pipeline. He noted that the current Liberal government has plans to send infrastructure money overseas instead of keeping that money within Canada.

Kitchen has additionally expressed concern for farmers and ranchers who see the current Liberal government as an inhibitor to their success in the marketplace.

“They are having huge impacts on our farmers, ranchers and on our oil businesses that have seen a big downturn over the last

Souris-Moose Mountain MP Robert Kitchen couple of years. We saw the Liberals basically step in the way of the Energy East pipeline,” said Kitchen.

“My other issue is trying to make

Canadians understand the great steps that farmers are doing with the sequestration of carbon through their crop rotations, we get no credit for that and those are things I would look forward to championing,” said Kitchen.

Kitchen has intent if elected to continue his support for the carbon capture and storage process for the coal fired power plants that are here within the Estevan area.

“Next term in office I would hope that we will be in government because the present Liberal government is putting in policies that are affecting rural Canada in particular Souris–Moose Mountain and these polices are detrimental to the economy,” said Kitchen.

Kitchen also spoke of his tenure as vice-chair of the parliamentary committee on Veterans Affairs.

“My role was the vice-chair of Veter-

ans Affairs for two years and that has been a tremendous honour and privilege for me to have been on that committee. It is a role that I enjoyed tremendously,” said Kitchen.

Kitchen was elected to represent Souris–Moose Mountain in Ottawa in the 2015 federal election. Kitchen has always taken issue for what he called the Liberal governments reckless spending and an attack on natural resource production and small businesses.

If re-elected Kitchen is looking forward to continuing to grow as a candidate and learning more about how to best serve the people in his riding.

“Every day there is something new and I am a big proponent of continuous learning, as long as I am learning something new everyday and I am doing that I look forward to progressing with that,” said Kitchen.

Civic Auditorium users look elsewhere for ice time « A1 It hosted the Spooky Civic event on Halloween, which drew approximately 1,000 people. It had also been used for Estevan Minor Hockey Association games and tournaments, and by other user groups.

Mayor Roy Ludwig noted that the structural survey from 2004 showed that the building was still structurally sound.

“We were OK to continue to use it for the use we were using it,” said Ludwig.

Council was hoping to receive this year’s survey earlier in the year, Ludwig said, but it’s a thick and

comprehensive document.

He was surprised with the latest document’s findings.

“It had quite a few fairly major concerns, and once you start attaching dollar amounts to those concerns, you were very quickly up in the millions of dollars,” said the mayor. “At the end of the day, how long would those fixes last?”

Ludwig said council doesn’t want the Civic to turn into a money pit.

“With all of the rains that we’ve had over the last few years, I suspect that everything was probably fairly good until all of that

moisture,” said Ludwig.

“Some of the main corners, namely the north one, has dropped four inches. In the architectural buildings, that’s huge for a large building like that.”

He hopes council will be comfortable making a decision on whether to make the necessary repairs to the Civic, or to close the building, at the meeting on Nov. 20.

Ludwig was the chair of the new arena committee that was responsible for Affinity Place, which opened in 2011. At that time, there was a lot of discussion about the future

of the Civic, including the possibility of turning it into a field house that could be used for indoor soccer and other sports.

The closure of the arena leaves Estevan with two arenas: Affinity Place and the Power Dodge Ice Centre (PDIC). While those two rinks will be able to handle some of the Civic’s bookings for now, some ice time bookings are now at the Bienfait Memorial Arena, the Torquay Arena and other rural arenas in the southeast. The city will also expand hours of its two venues to accommodate as many ice time

users as possible.

The Estevan Minor Hockey Association, the over-30 and over-40 recreation leagues, the Estevan Strippers hockey club, the Estevan Figure Skating Association and the Estevan Broomball Association are among the affected users who used the Civic in the winter months.

“I think they were a little shocked with how quickly it was done, but I think they also understood that as a 60-year-old building, when the study was sanctioned, that there may be stuff that would come out of it that would affect

the usability of it,” said Ward.

Ward said that program manager Erin Wilson and her staff have been meeting to prioritize and reorganize the scheduling to figure out the best direction moving forward.

He also noted the city has looked at different options in the past for the PDIC to expand seating capacity and make it more spectator friendly, and he expects that will come up again during the upcoming budget negotiations.

For more on the impact on user groups, see Page A11.

Interest remains high for CCS technology « A1 which would give the Crown corporation more flexibility for its future power generation options and timelines.

“While at this point, a straight read of the regulations would say that for (Units) 4 and 5, the decision would have to be made in the next year or so for that end of 2019 time frame, the equivalency agreement

may allow us to look at it on a fleet-wide basis, which then could potentially push the decision out further than that,” said Duncan.

Since Unit 3 at the Boundary Dam Power Station surpasses federal regulations for coal-fired generation, it could be used to offset the emissions from Units 4 and 5, which could further push back the time-

line for a decision.

“Until that’s signed, we don’t know yet exactly the flexibility, but we’re hoping for flexibility with Units 4 and 5,” said Duncan.

Duncan also stressed that Marsh comments earlier this month were about Units 4 and 5, and not Unit 6 at Boundary Dam, which would also require a retrofit with CCS technology to stay online. Nor was he talking about the Shand Power Station, or Coronach’s Poplar River Power Station.

“The decision point for

Shand, for Unit 6, for Poplar River 1 and 2 are pushed (further) out,” said Duncan.

“It’s based on when their in-service date was.”

If the province doesn’t proceed with further retrofitting of coal-fired units with CCS technology, then Duncan said Unit 3 would remain an important contributor to electrical generation for the province.

“With the way it’s using coal, and capturing and sequestering the carbon dioxide, it’s one of the cleanest-burning fossil fuel

power plants in the world,” said Duncan.

Duncan said he remains a supporter of CCS technology. It has contributed to the capture of 1.75 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.

And interest in the technology remains high, with more than a dozen countries attending a symposium in Regina a few weeks ago.

“Notwithstanding the challenges that all new, firstgeneration technologies experience, CCS at Boundary Dam 3 has been a very good technology for doing what we’re all trying to do through different policy options, and that is to actually reduce the amount of carbon that’s going into the atmosphere,” said Duncan.

October was the best month on record for the amount of carbon sequestered, he said. (For more on October’s performance at Boundary Dam, see Page A10).

But there was also a three-month shutdown for the CCS facility, so that new equipment could be installed. Duncan said it’s always a concern when a shutdown takes longer than expected, but he knows that every technology will have a period of maintenance.

“We’re going to keep working towards ensuring that with these lengthy delays, we reduce the number of them into the future,” said Duncan.

Large crowd turns out as Estevan salutes veterans during Remembrance Day service

By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca

Remembrance Day continues to be an important time for people in the Estevan area.

A large crowd filled Estevan Comprehensive School’s (ECS) cafetorium for this year’s service on Nov. 11. Many of those present were standing in the back row while they watched the ceremony.

“I am quite happy to see the turnout,” said Troy LeBlanc, who chairs the Remembrance Day ceremony committee. “The school was just packed for the first part of the service, and for the wreath-laying

service as well.”

During the ceremony, the crowd stood solemnly for the Last Post, the two minutes of silence and Reveille. LeBlanc read the Roll of Honour, which includes the names of people from Estevan who died during the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War and the Afghanistan War. Then LeBlanc and legion branch president Lyle Dukart laid a wreath at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Master of ceremonies Geoff Thiessen read In Flowers Field. Later in the ceremony, Sgt. Janna Cinnamon from the No. 30

Wylie-Mitchell Air Cadets read a response to Flanders Field.

A slide show had photos of local residents who served Canada during combat operations and in peacekeeping efforts.

Music aired in the background.

The crowd then shifted to the school’s courtyard for the cenotaph service. Representatives of the legion, military organizations, different levels of government, protective services agencies, nonprofit organizations and youth organizations placed wreaths at the cenotaph in honour of those who served their country.

crowd for this year.

“Next year is going to be the 100th anniversary of the end of the (First World) War,” said LeBlanc. “It’s starting to ring in people’s memory what was actually done in those years.”

EDITORIAL

The value of shopping locally Now that November is here, the thoughts of people have turned towards Christmas and the inevitable shopping.

Many people now wait until after Remembrance Day to begin their Christmas shopping, but stores generally can’t wait until mid-November to begin promoting their pre-Christmas specials.

In a perfect world, everyone would wait until after Nov. 11 to begin their Christmas shopping, or put up their Christmas decorations, but it’s not a perfect world.

Regardless of when you start your Christmas shopping, whether it was Nov. 1 or Dec. 24, we hope you’ll remember to keep the bulk of your Christmas-related spending locally this year.

This is the most important time of year for our local merchants. It is often the time that determines whether a local business will make money, or if it will finish the year in the red.

It’s the time of year that influences how much a local business will have to give back to the community through donations and other support. And many local businesses are strong supporters of the community, donating thousands of dollars each year to

From the Top of the Pile BRIAN ZINCHUK

Hey, Siri, turn off Skynet A Facebook post got me thinking. The top part noted that in the 1960s, people were worried about the government wiretapping their phones. The lower part shows a woman speaking to her Amazon Alexa, a wiretap she purposely put in her home, asking it for pancake recipes.

My wife pointed out that my phone informed me our vehicle was parked. I know, I told her. It also tells me when you park at work, too. And when I leave the house, it says how long it will take me to get to the office.

When I start the truck at the end of the day, it tells me how long it will take to get home, too.

My iPhone has a built-in fingerprint scanner, which I have never used, nor do I intend to. However, I am certain it has already scanned my fingerprint every time I touch it, and thus big brother, somewhere, has both of my index fingers scanned.

This is somewhat significant in that I have never had my fingerprints taken, for any purpose. About 14 years ago I got a new-fangled wireless mouse whose receiver included a fingerprint scanner. To hell with that, I thought, and never used the scanner.

a variety of causes.

They support our minor sports teams.

They donate to our hospital foundation (which purchases equipment for the hospital) and they donate to the United Way Estevan (which supports different agencies and projects). They support local cultural organizations, and they donate to local businesses.

Local small businesses are also big employers in the community. Many people had their first job at a small business, regardless of whether it’s in retail, the hospitality sector or another industry.

And they allow people to fulfill their dream of owning a business. Entrepreneurship remains a dream for so many people.

Some might not get to realize that dream, but small businesses give many people that chance of being their own boss.

Supporting small business at this time of year extends beyond purchasing Christmas gifts for family and friends. It means having your Christmas party at a local restaurant.

It means purchasing Christmas decorations and other holiday-related merchandise at a local business. It means purchasing Christmas cards from local businesses.

It hasn’t been an easy year for local businesses. The economic picture is better than it was at this time a couple of years ago, but the community’s emergence from the economic slowdown has been slow. They haven’t had the volume of shoppers that they enjoyed a few years ago.

There has also been uncertainty beyond their control. The small business tax changes that were proposed by the federal government earlier this year were the source of a lot of concern. Thankfully, the federal government has backed off on many of those changes, but local entrepreneurs didn’t need the headache associated with uncertainty brought about by the feds.

Business owners should be focused on keeping their staff members employed, or providing products and services to their customers. They shouldn’t have to worry about changes could impact their long-term investments or their plans to leave their business to their children.

There are a lot of ways to support local businesses at this time of year. Try to find as many as possible. After all, the more support they receive at this time of year, the better off we are as a community.

The new iPhone X, in getting rid of its fingerprint scanner, now uses its front-facing camera, plus special thermal cameras, to do a visual identification on your face before opening your phone. Great way to keep the kids from absconding with it, horrible for any notion of personal privacy.

And now Wired is reporting that a Vietnamese security firm has figured out how to crack it, using a 3-D printed mask made of plastic, silicone, makeup and paper cutouts.

Their hack has yet to be verified, but if true, Face ID isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. I must grant here that most people do not have it in their capabilities to, Mission Impossible-like, come up with realistic masks of this type. So I wouldn’t worry too much about that. It’s just freaky how biometrics is now becoming standard.

South Park, the ultimate in irreverent television, spoofed the Amazon Alexa in September, purposefully causing the Alexa to add several rather rude things to its shopping list and even telling it good night, to which the real life Alexa in people’s homes wished the TV sweet dreams.

Our homes and pockets are now filled with devices listening around the clock for “Hey, Siri,” or “Okay, Google.”

How much data has to be flowing out of all these devices, all the time? How much computer processing power is being used to handle all of this?

You can take it as a given that your phone conversations, emails, texts and chats are being monitored by some big brother computer system, somewhere, watching for keywords.

Imagine if that processing power was used to map the genomes of various forms of cancer? Instead, it’s being used in the most part to sell ads.

Thinking back to the Terminator movie franchise, it’s scary how prescient they have turned out to be. Indeed, the next generation of stealth bombers, the B-21 Raider, is to be capable of manned and unmanned operations, I read this week.

To quote the Terminator from 1991’s Terminator 2, “In three years, Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record. The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes online August 4, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.”

Well, they got the date wrong, which is addressed in this movie and the latter ones.

But the warnings about artificial intelligence are spooky.

What if Google and Facebook get together and have an AI baby? Then they take over Lockheed Martin, Northrum Grumman and Boeing?

Hey, only the likes of Stephen Hawking, arguably the smartest person on the planet, and Elon Musk, the guy behind Tesla and SpaceX, are warning about artificial intelligence.

What if FaceGoogleLockheedBook, a.k.a. Skynet, determines we’re more trouble than we’re worth?

How do we pull the plug then?

“Hey, Siri, turn off Skynet,” is not going to cut it.

Closure of Civic poses big problem Corey Atkinson New Material Only

The Civic Auditorium is a lot of things to a lot of people, but one role it didn’t need to fill is to be closed in the middle of the ice season.

Estevan is the kind of community that needs three indoor rinks during the winter to accommodate the huge demand. Or at the very least, two and a half. The rinks are constantly busy during the evenings and weekends.

As of right now, there’s very little other ice time that can be used for kids or adults without a huge cost.

So what’s to be done?

I’ve heard – still hearsay – that the cost to bring the Civic up to code will be in the millions. If it were the only rink in town it might be the only viable option rather than building new.

Another strategy I heard was to remove the troublesome parts of the indoor parts of the Civic and keep the ice surface in an open air facility. But even the cost of that would be far too much for what would amount to a natural ice facility.

But perhaps the most disturbing thing I learned over the past week or two was the fact that the Civic was 60 years old and no one really knew how bad it had gotten.

As an outsider, I just sort of assumed that the Civic had passed the requisite safety requirements to come into use for the 2017-18 winter. I mean, kids as young as three and four were changing into their skates there in the dressing rooms just a couple of weeks ago. It had to be safe, right?

On top of that, now here comes the furrowed-brow ‘We Need To Have A Meeting’ part of this where we find out the full extent of the cost of the damage of this. Taxpayers aren’t going to be happy about this because they generally aren’t when they have an unexpected expense coming. So the ‘We Need To Have A Meeting’ meeting is something a lot of people and stakeholders here will be dreading.

The impression that I get from talking to people is that no one really wants to go into an era of two indoor rinks for a community this size but no one is quite prepared to spend the necessary money to either get that third, ancient rink under code or build a new one (where that proposed new minor sports rink would be is its own series of columns).

Here’s the idea for now and 20 years from now: Even bringing the Civic to code means you’ve got a rink where Julius Caesar played his atom hockey that you’re just patching it till the next major crisis. So you build new, starting now. Auction off the seats and nets and assorted building stuff and get as much money as you can from that. Partner now, right now, with a couple or three of the major Saskatchewan oilpatch industries. A major Canadian oil company just got $940 million from the sale of a Weyburn facility. Surely they can toss a fraction of that into a new building here and help the kids of their workers. They aren’t the only ones that can toss money into a new rink so go to others and mitigate the immediate costs to taxpayers.

Rink building prices invariably go up. Start building as soon as May’s thaw allows you and maybe you’ll be done in time for January 2019. Or pay a bit more and have a full few years of just Affinity Place and Power Dodge Ice Centre. Your call.

The demand for three indoor rinks exists here. For the sake of everyone, fill that demand.

Goodale responds to Kitchen The editor: Souris-Moose Mountain MP Robert Kitchen’s false analysis of the Energy East Pipeline project cannot go unchallenged.

Undoubtedly, as a Conservative MP, Mr. Kitchen would want to find some way to blame the current federal government for the decision taken by TransCanada to drop its application to build this pipeline.

But the federal government’s regulatory system, which was set to review the Energy East proposal, was the same system that recently reviewed and approved two other big western projects – Kinder

Morgan’s Trans Mountain line from Edmonton to Burnaby, B.C., and Enbridge Pipeline’s Line 3 from Alberta to Minnesota.

These two major pipelines to move western resources into export markets represent $11.6 billion in private sector investment and some 22,000 jobs.

They’re rolling ahead.

Significantly, all the major contracts to supply the necessary pipe have gone to Evraz Steel in Regina.

So the federal government’s policy and process with respect to energy have produced big positive results, which the previous Conservative government

failed to deliver over 10 years in office.

A detailed independent analysis by the C.D. Howe Institute and commentaries by journalists like The National Post’s Terence Corcoran – both from a right-of-centre perspective – have confirmed that hard business reasons drove TransCanada’s decision to drop Energy East: This same company is heavily involved in the huge Keystone XL pipeline project across the United States which was not in the offing when Energy East was conceived several years ago. But it is now, presenting a major energy transportation alternative,

for the same company.

Energy East was in part a conversion project, shifting a gas line into an oil line. When it started, gas markets were in a slump, while oil was riding high. Now the positions have largely reversed. Continuing gas shipments look more promising.

When Energy East began, the world oil price was some $90 per barrel.

Mostly recently, it’s been barely half that, and the economics of the project have changed dramatically because of private market forces.

Four people charged in drug bust Four people are facing charges after the Estevan Police Service (EPS) executed a drug bust on early on Thursday.

In a press release, the EPS stated its Drug Intelligence Unit conducted a cocaine and methamphetamine trafficking investigation on two men and two women.

The investigation happened over a three-week period and included assistance from the EPS Containment and Warrant Entry Team (CWET), the patrol section, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, the Regina Police Service and the Weyburn Police Service.

The first arrests came when a vehicle was intercepted on Highway 39 west of the city at 12:15 a.m. on Thursday. A man and a woman were suspected of transporting cocaine back to Estevan. The woman was taken into custody while the man resisted arrest. He was taken into custody a short time later.

A total of 112 grams of cocaine, 132 grams of a cocaine cutting agent, 4 1/2 grams of methamphetamine, and other items used for trafficking were seized.

At approximately 2:30 a.m. on Thursday, a second vehicle was intercepted within city limits. A man and a woman were suspect-

ed of transporting cocaine back into Estevan. They were taken into custody without incident. A total of 14 grams of cocaine was seized.

Following the traffic stops, search warrants were executed at three residences within the city. One woman was taken into custody without incident. She was later released from custody.

A total of three vehicles were seized in this investigation and the total street value of the drugs seized is estimated at $26,000.

“This is a case where … we’re watching for this type of activity in our city, and we will continue to do that,” said Ladouceur.

Ashley Glydon, 29, and Kenneth Johnson, 26, of Estevan were charged with trafficking cocaine, trafficking methamphetamine, possession for the purpose of trafficking cocaine, and possession for the purpose of trafficking methamphetamine. All charges are under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Glydon was also charged with failing to comply with a probation order to keep the peace and be of good behavior.

Daniel Lowenberg, 26, and Emily Horvath, 23, also of Estevan were charged with trafficking cocaine and possession for the purpose

Police Chief Paul Ladouceur of trafficking cocaine.

Johnson was additionally charged with resisting arrest under the Criminal Code.

He was also subject to a separate investigation in which he was charged with two counts of unlawful confinement, as well as charges of uttering death threats and assault, stemming from an incident not connected to last week’s drug bust.

Glydon, Johnson, and Lowenberg were remanded into custody and were scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 14. Horvath was released on several conditions and will appear in court on Jan. 15, 2018.

In a news release, the EPS stated the investigation and the resulting arrests and charges are the result of the

law enforcement agency’s commitment to ensuring a safe community.

“We will continue our crackdown on drug trafficking for as long as it takes,” said Ladouceur. “Our Drug and Intelligence Unit, along with our new drug detection dog and Containment and Warrant Entry Team are instrumental to this effort.”

The new drug detector dog Max was not involved in Thursday’s drug busts.

The EPS had a lot of intelligence gathered for the case, and the drugs were detected after the traffic stops, so Max was not needed.

But Ladouceur expects the K9 unit will be heavily utilized moving forward as the EPS continues to perform drug investigations, search warrants and more.

Forever in the Clouds monument committee continues its search for missing photos The committee working on the new Forever in the Clouds monument has made some progress in its quest to find the last few photos of the airmen depicted.

The monument pays tribute to the 20 airmen and one groundscrew member killed in a plane crash at the former Estevan Airport location on Sept. 15, 1946.

The committee wants to have the face of each of the victims carved into the tree.

Seventeen of the 21 photos had been secured when Alberta sculptor Darren Jones carved the monument out of a 500-year-old Douglas fir tree, using a chainsaw, earlier this year.

Committee member Marie Calder said she now has the photo of Leonard

Edgar Turtle, giving them 18 of the 21 photos. Calder is awaiting the photo of now, William Wiecker.

Calder started by searching for them on Facebook. Then she tried Canada 411, came up with a number of different people in Saskatchewan with the last name of Turtle, and reached out to some, but they weren’t related.

Last week Calder found one of Turtle’s greatgreat nieces in Lumsden, who supplied a photo.

Also last week, she found a relative for Wiecker in Ontario who had a photo.

“He told me ‘As I speak to you, I am looking at his picture,’” said Calder.

The committee is still seeking the photos of Clifford Sommerville Coppin and Vitantos Luke Kirko.

She has located someone with the same last name as Coppin who is trying to help her.

“He had a daughter, and her name is Valerie

Palmer, but I can’t find her,” said Calder. “I’ve been trying so hard to find her.”

Calder said the committee will keep searching for the last two photos. If anyone knows of Coppin or Kirko, they are asked to contact a committee member.

“I’m asking the family members that I have met to consider putting together a summary of what they do know about their loved one, so that we can have a bigger picture, other than the photo and the name, the service number and the rank,” said Calder.

Jones will return to Estevan to carve the last few photos into the monument.

Calder hopes he will have to make just the one trip.

“We really can’t complete the monument until we have all four (pictures),” said Calder. “It’s my goal at this time to continue to try to reach that goal, so that Darren, when he has the opportunity, can come and finish it.”

Forever in the Clouds is currently located at the Estevan Regional Airport.

A final location for the monument has not been determined.

Traffic unit kept busy in October

Two photos have been located for the Forever in the Clouds monument. File photo

Members of the Estevan Combined Traffic Services unit issued 272 tickets and 391 warnings during the month of October.

A total of 176 tickets were for exceeding the posted speed limit.

Fourteen tickets were for exceeding the speed limit where it is 80 kilometres per hour (km/h).

Four were for exceeding the speed limit by more than 35 km/h, one was for exceeding the posted speed limit by more than 50 km/h, and four were for exceeding 60 km/h while passing a stopped emergency vehicle with its lights activated.

Sixteen tickets were for failing to wear or not properly wearing a seat belt. Three were for a pas-

senger failing to wear a seatbelt, two were for not having an appropriate restraint for a child under seven years of age, one was for having an unrestrained passenger under 16, and another was for having an unrestrained passenger under 16 who weighs 18 kilograms or less.

One ticket was for having inadequate or removed seatbelts.

Twenty-two tickets were for driving a vehicle or trailer without a valid registration. Five were for driving without a valid licence. One ticket was for having a licence plate on the wrong vehicle.

Nine tickets were for disobeying a stop sign, and three were for dis-

tracted driving.

Two tickets each were for having illegal tint on front side windows, and two more were for excessive damage to a windshield.

Single tickets for following a vehicle too closely, driving to the left of the centre line when unsafe to do so and failing to move to the right when approached by an emergency vehicle, Sixty-seven inspection notices were also handed out.

The traffic unit is also reminding motorists that with winter weather here, they are asked to be diligent in clearing snow off their vehicles, including windows, lights and licenses plates.

Scott Moe brings campaign back to Estevan

By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca

Scott Moe was back in Estevan on Monday night as part of his ongoing campaign to become the next leader of the Saskatchewan Party, and the next premier of the province.

Moe, who has the backing of Estevan MLA Lori Carr, spoke to about 20 people at a town hallstyle meeting at the Estevan Elks Club. He spoke for about 30 minutes, and then answered questions from the audience.

It was his first time in Estevan since September.

He reiterated his support for the carbon capture and storage project at the Boundary Dam Power Station. While Moe believes Saskatchewan needs to clean up its emissions in power generation, through such options as wind and solar, he pointed out they aren’t baseload options.

“Wind and solar need to be backed up by either natural gas, or coal with CCS,” said Moe. “There are all sorts of economics with each of those, and we need to take a generational view with where we’re going to be from an emissions perspective and a cost perspective.”

He encouraged people in the audience to imagine renewables complimenting CCS. From an emissions’ perspective and a baseload power perspective, it looks pretty good.

Moe said SaskPower will have to consider the price of natural gas in the long-term, while remembering there is a healthy supply of coal.

“We have the fuel here, the price of a CCS facility is coming down, and they are getting more efficient,” said Moe. Moe says his campaign is operating off of three platforms. The first fiscal sustainability by following the three-year plan to balance the budget by the 2019-20 fiscal year.

Moe’s campaign also wants to support families of Saskatchewan through investment in schools and healthcare.

The third plank, which he is most excited about, is to support Saskatchewan jobs, industries and employees.

“We have a pretty simple idea with respect to how we can grow our population and our communities out into the future,” said Moe. “If we are able to increase our exports, our agricultural products, our mining products, our energy products, forestry, uranium and manufacturing goods (that will be great).”

Saskatchewan has rich history when it comes to exports, he said, and the province’s exports currently stand at $30 billion.

A robust economy will allow Saskatchewan people to stay and work in this province, rather than being forced to head to Alberta.

Moe also outlined a couple policy ideas. The first is connected to balanced budgets. He expressed his support for restoring the provincial sales tax exemption on insurance premiums. There was an exemption in place until this year’s budget.

Residents, farmers,

businesses and insurance brokers have expressed the impact of removing the PST exemption.

“We found those dollars, and we’re able to backfill that to insure that we remain on that threeyear plan to balance the budget,” said Moe. The other policy, announced early in the campaign, would be to replace the Ministry of the Economy with a minister focused solely on export, trade and investment attraction. That minister would be tasked with continuing Saskatchewan’s exports.

Government needs advice and direction from exporting industries to provide it with guidance to

ensure the government is supporting exports and not trying to lead them. Moe wants to see an export advisory panel established.

He also reiterated his opposition to the carbon tax, saying it would hurt the province. If he becomes premier, Moe said he would continue Premier Brad Wall’s fight against a carbon tax.

The Sask. Party leadership campaign is just part of the process, he said, because the goal is to form a majority government for the fourth consecutive term in 2020.

The Saskatchewan Party will elect a new leader at a convention on Jan. 27, 2018.

Saskatchewan Party leadership candidate Scott Moe spoke at the Estevan Elks Club on Monday night.

Southeast College develops third class power engineering theory program After a few years of preparation, Southeast College has announced they will be offering their own third class power engineering theory-only course. The first course is scheduled to start Feb. 5, 2018, at the Estevan campus.

“We developed this course to assist with the continued training of power engineers in our region,” said Jody Holzmiller, vice-president of training at Southeast College. “We recognized an opportunity to provide flexibility in the delivery model as well as to assist out students in a focused approach as they prepare for their regulatory exams through the Technical Safety Authority of Saskatchewan (TSASK).”

The course is 15 weeks in length and covers the requirements needed to prepare students to write their TSASK examinations. The course has been recognized

by TSASK as an approved

third class theory program.

Successful completion of the course and exams credits students with six months time towards their stream time requirement at the third class level.

In addition to the fulltime program offered, Southeast College also offers employers flexible delivery options to accommodate the continued learning and success of their employees. “Because this is Southeast College’s course, we have the flexibility to deliver it according to the needs of out students and their employers,” said Holzmiller. “I encourage any area employer interested in exploring this option to give us a call to discuss the varied learning options for their employees.”

Applications are currently being accepted for the 15-week program. Interested students are encouraged to visit the college’s website or call the college for more information.

Whitecap Resources buys Cenovus’ Weyburn Unit

By Brian Zinchuk brian.zinchuk@sasktel.net

It may have been prescient that Whitecap Resources Inc. CEO Grant Fagerheim was inducted into the Saskatchewan Oilpatch Hall of Fame at the 2017 Saskatchewan Oil & Gas Show in Weyburn.

He’s liable to be spending a lot more time in Weyburn now, as Whitecap announced on Nov. 13 it had bought the Weyburn Unit from Cenovus Energy Inc. for $940 million cash.

Whitecap plans on resuming drilling and expanding the operation.

Cenovus took to selling off assets in a big way to finance its $17.7 billion purchase of ConocoPhillip’s 50 per cent interest in jointly owned oilsands venture and deep basin conventional assets, announced March 29.

Since then, it’s targeted $4 billion to $5 billion in asset sales to cover part of the purchase. The Weyburn Unit went on the block.

The Weyburn Unit is one of Saskatchewan’s most significant oilfields, producing for over 60 years. Their introduction of a carbon dioxide (CO2) miscible flood enhanced oil recovery (EOR) scheme near the turn of the century dramatically enhanced the field’s expected producing life, to the point where Cenovus stopped putting an estimate on its longevity.

The field initially only took CO2 from the 20-inch Souris Valley Pipeline running from the Dakota Gasification Company at Beulah, N.D. Since 2014, it has also been receiving CO2 from the SaskPower Boundary Dam Unit 3 Integrated Carbon Capture and Storage Project, near Estevan, a contract that has seven years of life remaining.

The previously announced sale of Cenovus’s Pelican Lake assets closed

on Sept. 29, and the company still anticipates the previously announced sales of its Palliser and Suffield assets to close later this year.

“We’re pleased with the progress we’ve made in delivering on our divestiture plan to optimize our portfolio and deleverage the company’s balance sheet,” said Alex Pourbaix, Cenovus president and CEO. “Net proceeds from the Weyburn asset sale, combined with the other three divestitures announced earlier this fall, will position us to retire the entire $3.6 billion bridge facility associated with the ConocoPhillips asset purchase by the end of 2017.”

For Whitecap Resources, it’s another significant addition in southern Saskatchewan in recent years, as other, larger players move out. In May 2016, Whitecap purchased 11,600 barrels of oil equivalent (boepd) assets from Husky in southwest Saskatchewan as that company, too, sought to divest itself of much of its widespread assets to have a more concentrated focus on thermal heavy oil projects.

While it was the operator of the Weyburn Unit, Cenovus has many partners with minority shares in the unit. The agreement is for Cenovus’ interests.

The acquisition includes a 62.1 per cent operated working interest in the Weyburn Unit (14,600 boepd) and 200 boepd of production from minor assets in southeast Saskatchewan. Whitecap described the Weyburn Unit as a world class CO2 enhanced oil recovery development with a low base decline rate of less than five per cent, high operating netback of $31.86/ boe, and significant short and long-term development and expansion opportunities. The assets also include extensive infrastructure in place to facilitate future development plans.

This is the Goodwater plant, the main facility for the Weyburn Unit, which is being sold to Whitecap Resources. Photo courtesy of Cenovus Energy Strategic rationale In a press release on Nov. 13, Whitecap said, “The acquisition is a continuation of Whitecap’s strategy to enhance our existing portfolio with assets that exhibit lower production declines, high operating netbacks and significant growth opportunities with strong capital efficiencies to further enhance our future free funds flow.

“The unit is a selfsustaining operation that generates strong free funds flow even in a low commodity price environment and requires minimal capital investment to maintain production volumes and associated funds flow.

“In 2018, our base case assumptions are to invest 35 per cent of the net operating income from these assets to maintain production at 14,800 boepd which we anticipate will result in significant additional free funds flow of approximately $112 million.

“We estimate that over the next five years, the base assets have the potential to grow to approximately 17,700 boepd and generate cumulative free funds flow of $459 million using a flat

operating netback of $31.86/ boe.”

Drilling to resume Whitecap noted there has been minimal development of this asset over the last few years with only 12 infill wells drilled in 2015 and one CO2 expansion phase added in 2014. Due to low commodity prices, capital spending has been limited to production maintenance over the last few years. A drilling rig that worked in the unit for decades was released during this time.

Whitecap anticipates spending approximately $60 million in 2018 on the unit, which represents 35 per cent of anticipated net operating income from the assets, to maintain a flat and stable production profile.

The unit is anticipated to be a multi-decade source of self-funding growth and annual free funds flow with meaningful near and longterm growth opportunities.

There are significant optimization and expansion opportunities within the unit including: • Thirty-four waterflood and EOR area infill drills; • Reservoir optimization of the mature EOR

patterns to minimize decline and improve CO2 utilization; • Eight identified and planned CO2 expansion phases which include the drilling of 93 (57.8 net) production and 62 (38.5 net) injection wells; and • Recovery of hydrocarbons liquids from recycled CO2 stream prior to reservoir reinjection.

Whitecap said the eight EOR expansion phases are conservatively booked to an ultimate recovery factor of 31 per cent compared to an average ultimate recovery factor of 54 per cent booked on the existing 13 phases. To date, the 13 existing phases have recovered on average 42 per cent of the original oil in place (OOIP) with some of the more mature phases recovering over 60 per cent.

phases will develop a significant portion of the remaining 44 per cent of the Unit area that has yet to benefit from the CO2 injection. The hydrocarbon liquid recovery from the CO2 stream, prior to re-injection, is also expected to provide an extremely stable and significant source of free funds flow.

There are also material expansion opportunities identified immediately offsetting the existing CO2 scheme which are in the preliminary planning stage.

These include vertical and lateral expansion of the existing CO2 EOR scheme of which the combined opportunity set is unbooked and could represent incremental gross reserves of 109 MMbbls and a peak incremental gross production increase of over 13,000 boepd.

While speculation is rampant about the future of carbon capture and storage (CCS) at the Boundary Dam Power Station, the project had its best month yet in October.

According to data released by SaskPower on Thursday, the CCS facility at Boundary Dam performed efficiently last month. The 85,375 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) captured made last month the highest-performing month since the CCS process came online in October 2014.

“Those captured emissions are the equivalent (of) taking approximately 21,300 vehicles off Saskatchewan roads,” SaskPower stated in the monthly report. “Since operations began, the process has captured and sold or stored 1.75 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.”

The daily average was 2,754 tonnes of CO2 captured, significantly higher than the previous 12-month average of 1,612 tonnes, although the CCS process was offline for the months of June, July and August. The one-day peak for October was 3,043 tonnes of CO2 captured.

The CCS facility also

operated at about 85 per cent capacity, compared to the previous 12-month average of 43 per cent.

October also saw the benefits of the upgrades installed this summer.

With key components in the process now having a backup, SaskPower was able to perform minor maintenance without having to shut down the whole process; the process was simply rerouted through backup equipment while SaskPower inspected, cleaned and repaired the original piece of equipment.

The CCS facility was online for the entire month, just the third time in the last 13 months that has happened. The average for the previous 12 months was 63 per cent.

Unit 3 produced an average of about 110 megawatts in October, which was slightly better than the previous 12-month average of 108 megawatts.

SaskPower continues to test various levels of operation at the facility to optimize performance. In November, the Crown corporation will tune performance slightly downwards to get closer to the tonnage needed by its offtaker.

Groups looking elsewhere for ice time after Civic Auditorium was shut down

By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca

On a normal week, the Estevan Civic Auditorium would be full of different user groups like Estevan Minor Hockey, the Estevan Skating Club and the Estevan Broomball Association using the surface and dressing rooms.

Last week was decidedly not normal, however.

The building was shut down after a survey, leaving organizations looking elsewhere for much needed ice.

“We don’t really know what’s going to happen yet,” said Janice Grocholski, coach with the Estevan Skating Club. “Obviously we can’t go with less ice because our program has to continue to keep growing and we’re already maxed out and overlapping. I’m not sure. We’re working with other user groups in

the city (and we’re) kind of winging it for this week still.”

The club is starting to double down on the practice ice they get at Affinity Place. With the sectionals competition last weekend — and those kids had worked since the summer in order to practice and train for it — the morning and early afternoon had to do.

“The kids had to skate so they missed school,” Grocholski said. “Obviously that’s not a long-term option. We cancelled most of our programs last week.

We just ended up short.

There’s nothing we can do about it.”

They lose the Tuesday and Wednesday ice time at the Civic. Their classes are now with two groups at once whenever they can.

It’s clear there are few long term options available for local teams.

Elecs senior girls volleyball team falls just short of provincial qualification at home

By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca

The Estevan Comprehensive School (ECS) Elecs senior girls volleyball team knocked out a serious provincial contender on the weekend but couldn’t get to provincials themselves either.

Needing to win just one of their final two games after upsetting the Moose Jaw Peacock Toilers in three

sets, the Elecs were close to making provincials this year but fell just a bit short.

“Our season’s kind of been like a roller coaster,” said Elecs head coach Nicole Sinclair. “We started really well and kind of went downhill but that last couple of weekends we’ve really picked it up a lot.”

The Elecs saw the Toilers last weekend and Sinclair said the Elecs couldn’t seem to get their

heads in the game.

“To come back after that and win the game against them like we did was really really great,” she said. “We put 110 per cent effort into the game and we came out with a win.”

The tournament had its own ups and downs for the Elecs but Sinclair said that for the most part, they were able to stay steady. They beat Moose Jaw’s Central Cyclones in three sets in

the round robin and lost to Balgonie Greenall and Swift Current – both teams that are going to provincials now along with Weyburn.

“We played to the best that we could,” Sinclair said. “Obviously we would have liked to go to provincials but as I said to the girls, I’m really happy with the way that we ended. We put all of our effort in.”

The Elecs lost 25-19 and 25-20 to Swift Cur-

rent Saturday afternoon.

The 5A division regional that includes all the big schools in the smaller cities in the south like Moose Jaw, Weyburn, Swift Current and Yorkton is always going to be a tough one.

“We see lots of the bigger towns with the strong teams,” Sinclair said. “To make it to the final match is really good for us.”

The future looks bright for the Elecs, who will

lose only three players to graduation – Aiden Miller, Tatiane Dutka and Sammy Wade.

The Elecs senior boys volleyball team had a heartbreaking end to their season at conference championships in Swift Current. They won their round robin games in straight sets over Moose Jaw Central and Moose Jaw Peacock, but lost playoff matches in straight sets to Weyburn and Balgonie.

Apex Bruins winless at P.A. tournament The Estevan Apex midget AA Bruins played three fairly close games at Prince Albert’s midget AA tournament but were unable to come up with a win.

They lost 6-3 to the Calgary Blazers Friday, tied the Saskatoon Sabercats 7-7 Saturday morning and lost 5-4 to the Notre Dame Argos Saturday evening.

The game against the Sabercats saw a total of seven goals in the first period, with Jaiden Gervais, Jordan Stein and Triston Sorenson each scoring goals before the end of the period.

Saskatoon took a 6-3 lead midway through the second but the Bruins quickly bounced back to tie 6-6 on goals by Dawson Schaff, Josh Romanyk and Stein.

Tristan Seeman scored early in the third period unassisted but Saskatoon tied it up again a few moments later and the game ended 7-7.

In the game against Notre Dame, the Bruins had a 2-1 lead early in the second on goals by Cole Adams and Romanyk.

The Argos took a 3-2 lead by the end of the second.

Carter Benning tied the game 32 second into the third and a few minutes later Notre Dame retook the lead. Seeman’s goal with 6:32 on the clock tied the game again but only a minute later Notre Dame took the lead again, this time for good.

The game summary for the Friday game against the eventual tournament winning Calgary team — and goaltending information for all games – was unavailable at the source.

If the Bruins didn’t get enough of the Argos at the tournament, they have them on a home and home coming up this weekend. The team play Saturday at 2 p.m. at Notre Dame and Sunday at 5:15 p.m. at Affinity Place.

Bruins pick up five of eight points on Sherwood trip The Power Dodge Estevan Bruins secured five of eight possible points during a four-game road trip through the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League’s (SJHL) Sherwood Division.

The Bruins opened the road trip with a 4-3 loss to the Melfort Mustangs on Wednesday night. Then they responded with a 4-3 overtime win on Thursday night against the Flin Flon Bombers.

Two nights later, the Black and Gold pulled out a 5-4 shootout win against the La Ronge Ice Wolves.

And then on Sunday night, the Bruins lost 5-4 in overtime to the Nipawin Hawks.

In the Melfort game, Jerzy Martin, Kaelan Holt and Zach Goberis scored for the Bruins. Martin’s goal was his first in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.

Also in the Melfort game, Lampman’s Colton Schell, who skates with the Tisdale Trojans midget AAA hockey team, made

his SJHL debut as a callup for the Mustangs.

Arthur Miller scored twice, including the winning goal with 26 seconds to play in overtime, in the win over Flin Flon. Johnny Witzke and Jake Fletcher had the other goals for Estevan.

Estevan had a 4-2 lead through 40 minutes against the Ice Wolves, but gave up two in the third. After overtime solved nothing, Goberis scored the winner in the shootout.

Holt had two goals in the victory. Goberis and Michael McChesney also scored.

Nipawin scored twice early on Sunday, but goals

by Holt, Miller and Goberis in the final four minutes of the first gave the Bruins a 3-2 lead. The Hawks tallied twice in the third to take the lead, but Hayden Guilderson’s goal with 81 seconds to play tied the game.

Kenzie Arnold’s goal 34 seconds into overtime lifted the Hawks to victory.

Matt Lukacs was in goal against Melfort and Nipawin. Maxim Sidelnik was in goal versus the Bombers and the Ice Wolves.

Defenceman Jake Tesarowski played all four games for the Bruins, after the Black and Gold acquired him from the Melville Millionaires for a

third round bantam draft pick last week. Tesarowski was a prospect for the Bruins who played games as a midget callup in 2014 and 2015, but ultimately decided to play junior hockey elsewhere until the Bruins reacquired his rights. Tesarowski had two points in four games on the road trip.

The Bruins record is 14-6-2, which leaves them first in the Viterra Division.

The Weyburn Red Wings are two points back with a game in hand.

The Black and Gold will host the Battlefords North Stars on Friday night and the Humboldt Broncos on Saturday. Both games start at 7:30 p.m.

Power Tech Bear Cats take pair over Parkland

By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca

After some early struggles with consistency this season, the Estevan Power Tech Bear Cats have been putting some wins together this season.

The Bear Cats have won four in a row in South Saskatchewan Female Midget AA Hockey League action, including the last pair at home over the Parkland Lions. They won 4-1 Sunday and 3-2 Saturday at Affinity Place.

“When we play quick, and we get on the puck, we create turnovers and create scoring opportunities,” said Bear Cats head coach Trevor

Power Tech Bear Cats forward Makenna Morrison hits stride against Parkland Lions defender Lexi Fenske Saturday night at Affinity Place.

Morrison. “We’re starting to work better as a team.”

The team’s familiarity with each other is starting to help also, as four different

goal-scorers notched goals Sunday.

“We’re trying to keep some lines together so they’re used to playing with each other,” Morrison said. “We still have peaks

and valleys in our game where we don’t play pressure hockey and kind of let the game get from us a little bit. We need to get to where we play more aggressive quicker (and) makign sure all the girls have confidence and don’t hesitate. It’s getting better... I feel the girls are coming.”

Saturday, Marci LeBlanc scored a pair of goals, with Morgan Haygarth getting the other Bear Cat goal.

Sunday’s goals were scored

by Jazynn Monteyne, Kayla Wanner, Karleigh McKenzie and LeBlanc. It’s clear the Bear Cats are becoming a deeper team than they were a month ago.

“We’re winning some games now but our end goal is to win the championship,”

Estevan Mercury

Youth well represented at Elecs football banquet

By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca

The Estevan Elecs football team will have a very good future indeed if their younger players continue on their successful track.

Hunter Eagles won the team’s most valuable player award and top offensive player award — no mean feat for a Grade 9 in his first year of high school football.

“I was hoping to get a little bit (of playing time) but I wasn’t expecting to get nearly as much as I got,” said Eagles, who scored 50 of the team’s 82 points on the season through touchdowns and conversions and averaged 79 yards rushing and 60 yards receiving per game.

“I was expecting to get at least one side of the ball.”

By the midway point of the season, Eagles played offence, defence and some special teams, rarely leaving the field.

“I love it,” he said. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

The game was more fast paced than bantam football but Eagles is excited to see what will go on

in the future with the Elecs.

“We should have a better season in 2018 with all the new kids that are now experienced,” he said.

“We should have a fairly good team next year.”

The group that Elecs head coach Mark Schott led in 2017 lacked that kind of experience and struggled early with putting the right effort forward. A whopping 24 players coming into the season had never played high school football before and 14 players hadn’t played any level of football before. “(I’ll remember) the fact that our group, despite being inexperienced, were really eager to get to practice and work hard to get better,” Schott said.

“That’s really encouraging as a coach when you have a group that does that, and even moreso when they’re still young.”

The good play shown by many of the newer Elecs bodes well for the team’s future.

“We’re excited to have Hunter (Eagles) the next three years,” said Schott.

“We’re really happy that he’s the type of person and player that he is. He’s not only a great player but he’s

ECS Career Fair shows students options for their future

By William Acri wacri@estevanmercury.ca

The Estevan Comprehensive School’s (ECS) Career Fair was a success with 55 booths, 750 students in attendance and there were also presenters providing 30-minute informative sessions to students who were from Estevan and Lampman.

Despite the economic downturn that Western Canada has experienced there were still lots of booths, which were all visited by a great many students looking to plan for their future.

“In terms of the past four to five years it is a little bit smaller but the economy has slowed down and we have noticed that. The event has been really good and I was worried with the cold weather that we would lose some presenters but everyone showed up today and we got started right on time” said Stacy Dutka, who is a guidance counsellor with student services at ECS. Post-secondary institutions from all over Western Canada had booths at the event and for some it was their first time there.

“This year is very comparable to two years ago.

We do it every two years.

The number of booths that we have is pretty much the same, we have a few new schools that is exciting, a few more from British Columbia so I am happy to add them,” said Dutka.

The businesses that have attended the Career Fair in the past were looking to hire people for cur-

2017 ECS Career Fair was a success with high attendance. rent vacant positions. This trend is still true this year but not as prevalent.

“More businesses were looking for employees so they used us as an avenue to find employees,” said Dutka.

Dutka has been helping out with the Career Fair for seven years and she enjoys it very much and thinks it provides students with valuable support and information to help them plan for their future.

“It just sort of fell under my umbrella of the tasks that I am supposed to help co-ordinate and this is one of those tasks. I really think it gives the students a chance to see what careers are available within Estevan so whether it be the City of Estevan here presenting or the Estevan City Police or

the fire service showing students that careers exist within the city,” said Dutka.

The senior students take a bit higher of an interest in the Career Fair because they are so close to graduation. First and second year students can be so unsure of what to do for their future and how to do it but the Career Fair at ECS has always been great for providing guidance on that difficult path.

“I find that older students are a little more excited to see what kind of options they have. They might have an idea of what they want to do but they are not sure how to go about applying or how to apply for residence or scholarships and they can get that information from first hand experts,” said Dutka.

Estevan Mercury

Applications now accepted for hamper program

By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca

The Community Hamper Association expects it will be busy in advance of the Christmas season.

Char Seeman, who serves as the co-chairperson of the hamper association along with Heather Woodhouse, said the agency has been receiving referrals and requests for hampers for the past couple of weeks. She’s not surprised the association has been receiving requests already.

“The need is really great this year, and I think that has a lot to do with it,” she said in an interview with the Mercury.

The association expects to fill between 350 and 400 hampers this year.

Last year it filled approximately 385 hampers.

“I talked to the Salvation Army, and their food

bank is being used more this year than it was last year, so we’re thinking it’s going to be another busy year,” she said.

The hamper association is in need of volunteers. A couple of its partner churches have dropped out because they don’t have the volunteers to deliver the hampers or to help out in other ways.

The Royal Canadian Legion’s Estevan branch also won’t be involved this year as it continues to emerge from financial issues.

“Losing the legion is a big one, because they were a huge partner, but they have to look after themselves, and I know it’s bothering them greatly to be unable to help us this year,” she said.

Seeman is hopeful the legion will be able to resume its support of the

Christmas Hamper Project Christmas will soon be here. Many families will be unable to enjoy this Christmas because they cannot afford the essentials. If you know of someone who is in need you can make an application for assistance by phoning:

hamper association in the future.

The hamper association could use some additional volunteers this year, she said.

The association is also facing a financial pinch because there aren’t as many people who can afford to fill a hamper as in the past.

“If any families or any businesses, or anybody is interested in even donating one hamper or two … or wanting to donate money to the cause, the hamper association itself will buy hampers with the money it gets from people wanting to donate to us,” said Seeman.

Due to the financial demands facing the association, the hampers have been altered. Traditionally they had enough food for about a week, but this year there will be enough food for Christmas day and for leftovers.

There will still be cereal and eggs for Christmas breakfast, and the traditional food for Christmas supper.

The hampers will vary

in size, depending on the size of the family.

Seeman said the hamper recipients will need to be home on Christmas Day this year, since there won’t be the surplus of food.

Hampers will likely be picked up or delivered around Dec. 21 to 23.

The association also operates the Angel Tree program, which will return this year. The tree will be set up at the Estevan Walmart from Dec. 6 to 16.

The tree is adorned with blue angels for boys and pink angels for girls.

Each angel has an age inscribed. Supporters will pluck an angel from the tree and purchase an appropriate gift.

Cash donations are also accepted. The money received will be used to purchase more toys. Cash donations are preferred to gift certificates, Seeman said.

She noted the number of days the tree will be at Walmart this year also had to be cut back because of fewer volunteers.

New Arrivals

This is a community project sponsored by the Estevan Christmas Hamper Association

For more information contact Char at 306-421-9182 Deadline to submit applications is December 8, 2017

The toys that are collected through the Angel Tree will be set up in a toy store inside the basement of St. Giles Anglican Church on Dec. 20 and 21. Hamper recipients with children can drop by the church and pick up a toy.

Seeman didn’t have a tally for the number of toys received last year, but she said they had hundreds of toys.

“We were very well supported through the community last year,” said Seeman. “It was amazing.”

Literacy group celebrating 10-year milestone between existing agents.”

The EALG’s first chairperson was Greg Salmers, who was the Estevan Public Library’s head librarian of the day. Incorporation took place in 2008.

To date, the literacy group has had three coordinators. Pam Gunnlaugson was the first to be hired in November of 2007.

She moved on in 2009, and Kathryn Roberton was hired. Roberton fulfilled the duties until October 2015.

Finally, Kim Marshall joined the staff in November 2015 and currently leads programming.

Thanks to funding from Summer Student Works and in part, Community Initiatives Fund (CIF), the EALG has been able to hire summer students in the summer to assist with literacy programs.

The group has a board of directors and is a registered charity.

“During the first few years, many meetings were devoted to forming the literacy group by first obtaining

a grant from SaskSmart,” McCutcheon wrote. “As we progressed, we developed our constitution and a mission statement.”

Current board members are chairperson Liz Rowley, vice-chair Katie Burham, treasurer Susan Saunders, secretary Madeline Valentine, past-chair Marilyn McCutcheon and board members Art Beselt, Lacey Ellis, Joy Nykiforuk, Patrice Hoffos and Nicole Dupris. Thirty-four others have served as board members.

Funding has always been a challenge. Being one of the United Way Estevan’s member agencies has been a boost. The Community Initiatives Fund has also been a huge supporter over the years.

The Rotary Club of Estevan, Saskatchewan Lotteries, Access Communication Children’s Fund, Sask.

Literacy Network, the Leader-Post’s Raise a Reader, Estevan Public Library, St. Paul’s United Church, the

Brody Ellwood William Wyatt

Estevan Lions Club, Living Hope Community Church and the Estevan Family Resource Center have all supported the literacy group by providing funds, gifts in kind or space for programming.

Marshall leads various book clubs that interest a wide variety of students.

Star Wars, Fairy Tales and Fly Guy have been well attended book clubs for the younger groups.

Older students have enjoyed Battle of the Books and novel studies. French immersion students have also been included in a book club in recent years. Wild About Reading is a parent/ child program that usually happens in the evening.

Family games nights have been offered at local schools.

In 2015, along with many of the regularly offered literacy programs, Roberton partnered with Estevan Diversified Services (EDS) to assist with grant writing on the Human Rights Graphic Novel. This project was the developed by

Kim Marshall is currently the co-ordinator for the Estevan Area Literacy Group. File photo EDS and students at Estevan Comprehensive School, and is now in circulation.

To assist new English language learners, the literacy group has provided several programs and resources.

Talk Time was very useful to new Canadians. Learn to Drive materials were lent to ESL learners.

The literacy group partnered with the Southeast Regional College and shared resources for ESL students.

Little Language Learners has been held to teach

vocabulary to children ages three to five.

Summer programs include Summer English Fun for children ages four to 12, which teaches the language to children new to Canada, and Nature Smarts, which started in 2008.

Marshall also provides resumé writing support.

Labour Market Services contacts Marshall when support is required, and sends people over to the library to work with her on polishing resumes.

The Estevan Area Literacy Group will use its upcoming annual general meeting to celebrate a milestone.

The EALG will mark 10 years of helping the community with its literacy needs during the meeting on Nov. 15.

In a submission to the Mercury, past board chairperson Marilyn McCutcheon noted the first organizational meeting was held on June 27, 2006, involving representatives from the Indigenous, business, education and community service organizations, as well as library and literacy entities.

“At this time, the committee identified gaps in existing services and supports to a variety of groups,” McCutcheon wrote. “This included ESL (English as a second language) training in schools, parental training for early childhood education, providing sufficient tutors, an advocacy and awareness campaign and improved collaboration

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is just around the corner. Where did the year go?

We’re gazing out our windows now looking at snow on the ground, covering up our bushes and flowers that clung to the hot sun as long as they could. As autumn slides into winter it gets quiet outside but louder inside the walls of Creighton Lodge.

It’s a flurry of activity here with 47 residents, 16 staff, over 30 volunteers and many, visitors all coming and going.

We have to thank our musical entertainers for the great tunes they sing and play for us. The Freebies are one of our highlights every month. Thanks Bob, Ken and George.

Bob Olson and his family are a constant that we really count on. They entertain the same night we have our KFC dinner so it’s good food and great music on the fourth Thursday of every month. We tap our feet to the music of the Happy Wanderers as they wander their way into our hearts on the third Thursday.

This month we were treated to music by Eileen Roche, Susan Moser and Friends. They entertained at our birthday party and we so enjoyed them. We realize how hard it is for all of these folks to organize their time to come here and we greatly appreciate all of them.

We must thank our five musketeers who come to help out at the birthday party and KFC night. Thanks so much to Margaret Mack, Marge Heidinger, Jean Delorme, Doreen Hagen and Sylvia Prime, who help out to make our lives better.

A big thank you, also, to our exercise women, Sharon Dayman, Monica Mackenzie and Irene Tarnes, for committing to keeping us moving every week. They don’t realize how much better we feel when we can do exercises three times a week.

We’ve also started a program for our arthritic hands and feet. Working with melt balls keeps the connective tissues hydrated. At least that’s what they tell us.

There is still a small group who walk the halls with their urban poles and now that we can’t walk outside, hopefully that number will rise. The poles are such a great way to exercise the upper and lower parts of the body and we know we need to keep our muscles as strong as we can for as long as we can.

Bingo with our good friend Joan Wock is a great time of the week. The crowd is getting larger all the time; it’s truly something we can’t live without. Thanks Joan.

Christina Wock visits us regularly with her therapy dogs.

We look forward to her visits and spending time with our canine friends.

Our spiritual needs are being met thanks to the Estevan Ministerial Association. We have our weekly church services on Sundays, mass on the second Friday morning, Lutheran communion on the first Wednesday and United Church communion once a month.

We are happy to announce we are having an advent bible study starting on Nov. 28 at 10:00 a.m. for four Tuesdays. Rev. Jason Richards from St. Paul’s United Church will be leading it and it is open to all faiths.

When you add our cocktail parties, our movies in the lounge, our library visits and our monthly visits from the Sun Country Hearing clinic, there isn’t a lot of time to rest.

But rest assured we wouldn’t have it any other way. The more we do, the less time we have to dwell on our aches and pains and we realize we’re all the same – no one gets away pain free.

Readers are all invited to attend our Christmas shopping bonanza on Nov. 28 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. We will have a mini trade show and bake sale in our lounge for folks to do a little Christmas shopping. Hope to see you there.
