Bypass Route Opens

Estevan MLA Doreen Eagles had the honour of cutting the ribbon to officially open the 13-kilometre truck bypass around Estevan on Tuesday morning. She was assisted

by Estevan’s deputy mayor Lori Carr while Herrol Sadler, (left), director of construction and Dave Smith, executive director for the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure held the ribbon to mark the occasion. Invited guests then joined government officials for a driving tour of the new truck route.

Debt clock reminds Estevanites of steadily growing provincial debt

By Sam Macdonald smacdonald@estevanmercury.ca

Residents of the Energy City were given a stark reminder of what sort of debt is accumulating in Saskatchewan last week. On Tuesday morning, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s debt clock rolled into the parking lot of the Estevan Leisure Centre, with a long string of numbers, increasing at a startlingly fast rate.

“Saskatchewan did a great job in paying down debt a number of years ago, when this government came to power,” said Todd MacKay, Prairie director of the Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation. “Unfortunately, it’s going back up, and it’s going up at about $2.7 million a day. It’s hard for most people to imagine. That’s why we bring out the Debt Clock, so people can take a look at it.”

MacKay said that despite Saskatchewan’s mounting debt, it’s facing a fairly low amount compared to other provinces.

He emphasized the importance of immediate action in such a situation, while there is still an opportunity to address the issue, before it gets worse.

“The best time to get control is early,” said MacKay. “If we do it now, we won’t have to deal with interest costs that you get, if you wait until later. Saskatchewan is already paying roughly $300 million a year in interest on that debt.”

MacKay referenced the extensive quantities of debt Manitoba and Alberta are facing, as reasons to address the issue of debt as soon as possible, here in Saskatchewan. While appearing in Estevan, he said the debt clock got a lot of people doing double-takes

at the numbers appearing on the screen, with many snapping their glance back to take another look, when they saw how fast the numbers were moving.

MacKay said the most effective way to deal with the hard decisions that addressing Saskatchewan’s debt entails, is to encourage a reduction in government spending. He added that the debt clock focuses on taxpayer-supported debt, which can only be paid off by taxpayers.

According to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s website, the figure the debt clock displays as it goes through Saskatchewan reflects general debt from the provincial budget (adjusted for budget updates), with debt held by health regions, school boards and loans made to Crown corporations by the government also factored

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s debt clock stopped in Estevan on Tuesday, displaying a steadily increasing amount of provincial government debt. $5.3 billion and counting.

“This is our money, and we trust the care of that money to elected officials.

Elected officials hear, every day, from people who want money. If people phoned up every so often and said, ‘Hey, how about spending a little less money?’ that would get the message

into it. At the fiscal end of 2014-15, the debt clock registered Saskatchewan’s general revenue fund debt (core government borrowing) at $3.8 billion. The number displayed on the debt clock on Tuesday, when it was in Estevan, also reflected the province’s general revenue fund debt, which was at

across to them, that we don’t want to see the debt go up, and then, they’d get to fixing it faster,” said MacKay. “The (Saskatchewan) government is working hard to pay that debt off now, and we need to build momentum to continue that hard work and do more of it.”

Local artists display their art work

By Sam Macdonald smacdonald@estevanmercury.ca

The Estevan Arts Council’s Adjudicated Art Show gave the community a look at the many varieties of talent that exist in Saskatchewan, and familiarized guests with the measures by which that talent is judged. The Saturday evening event provided guests the opportunity to take a look at some of the pieces on display for adjudication, and meet the new associate curator David Dyck, and new artist in residence Diana Chisholm.

The show featured the work of artists specifically from southeast Saskatchewan. The works on display included art manifested in a number of mediums, including photography, abstract painting, portrait painting, textile-based projects, ceramic works and structural work using wood.

Jan Layh, the show’s adjudicator who is also an artist residing near the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border, publicly delivered the verdict on the work on displays created by six artists: Denise Epp, Janne Kru-

ger, Kayla Hanson, Marleen Vicary, Cathy Wiseman and Sheryl Plishka.

The adjudication process took place on Saturday, with Layh studying all the works in each collection and asking each artist about their pieces before the show.

Ultimately, the show’s winner, after a great deal of consideration on Layh’s part, was Sheryl Plishka, whose collection was called Found Object Art. The collection entailed designs made out of arrangements of driftwood attached to old planks of wood, evocative of a rustic image, with each sculpture bearing its own theme.

Plishka made all the works she put on display over the course of the past year. She noted that she is a writer, and that art is something new to her. Since making her display for the show, she has been more invested in creating art.

“If I had to thank someone, it’d be my mother for forcing us to go outside and use our imaginations,” said Plishka. “I camped at Tobin Lake with my family every summer, and it’s famous for driftwood. Spiritually, I’ve felt a connection with the

driftwood medium.”

Found Object Art also contains wood from the disintegration of an old structure from the 1900s.

A friend, upon her request,

Speaking to the assembled guests and artists, Layh expressed excitement that the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum held the show, noting that such events

have a bias based on our experience. Objective as I’d like to be I know I come from a particular bias,’ said Layh, who noted that her experience as a landscape

Sheryl Plishka was chosen as the winner of the Estevan Arts Council’s Adjudicated Art Show. Plishka’s collection of driftwood pieces was entitled Found Object Art. donated a number of antique wood planks that were part of a collapsed barn. The barn wood pieces served as backdrops for each of the arrangements of driftwood.

Pliskha said, “I painted the backgrounds, had the driftwood, and the ideas just jumped out of my soul and onto the wood.”

allow emerging artists to display to the public their work, provide other artists the opportunity to see what one another is doing, and to enrich communities in which they take place, allowing people to see what makes good art.

“Adjudicators simply offer an opinion. We all

painter in Saskatchewan often colours her adjudications. “I see landscapes in bowls, because that’s where I’m coming from. Someone else may see something different.”

Layh also chose individual favourite pieces from each of the artists’ collections taking into mind

her subjective “gut reactions,” and then tempering them with the framework of technical and stylistic judgements — ones she accrued over 30 years of experience in the making, teaching and adjudicating art. She looked for qualities like composition, focus and balance, when judging each piece.

Layh emphasized the importance of group adjudication. She noted that in her 22 years of participating in and organizing adjudications, when the strengths of each piece and suggestions for future work are made public, there’s a great deal of learning involved that benefits everyone who partakes in the process.

Layh commended the creativity — and bravery — of the artists who entered their work for adjudication, noting that it can be difficult putting one’s own art on display to be criticized and analyzed.

“You’re bearing your spirit and soul. Having someone criticize or praise your work is a little scary,” said Layh. “It’s the most important step in believing you’re an artist.”

Hillcrest Christmas Store needs donations Hillcrest School is seeking donations for its annual Christmas Store so that students can select at least one gift for a family member or somebody else special in their lives.

Sara Pippus, who is the school’s community education liaison, said they receive donations of new or gently-used items at the store each year.

“We are really excited about getting the news out early this year, so that people have a chance (to make

a donation),” Pippus told the Mercury. “Often times what happens is, after the fact we have someone say ‘Oh, I wish I had known about it.’”

Pippus asked for donations to be brought in between Nov. 16 and Dec. 4, preferably during school hours. People can also make cash donations, which will be used to purchase gifts.

“Staff, community members or parents will bring in items, and then we

stock the shop with those items,” said Pippus. “Then the kids can come and pick from those.”

The store will be set up in the school’s library from Dec. 7 to 9. Each grade will visit the store, and students will select their desired gift. The present will be taken to the Christmas Store’s elves, who will then wrap it.

The wrapped gift will be returned to the student before their Christmas vacation begins, so that they

New Patients Welcome!

University of Regina president pays a visit to Energy City

By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca

She’s been on the job for eight years, has survived a 2013 upheaval that included a challenge and review of her role, but Vianne Timmons considers being the president of the University of Regina, “the best job in the world.”

Timmons was in Estevan on Nov. 2 participating in the university’s community outreach program that would see her paying visits to several southeast communities as part of this year’s agenda.

With over 300 Estevan and area students enrolled in classes at the U of R, this is no small impact on the city or the university.

Besides a meeting with Lifestyles, Timmons attended an alumni social in the early evening and met with City of Estevan and Chamber of Commerce administrators and local business leaders for a noon luncheon.

Timmons said the U of R boasts of an ambitious co-operative student program, the largest in Western Canada and Estevan businesses have benefitted from it, especially the oil businesses that regards the Regina institution’s engineering programs as very solid.

“We get to learn what customized learning programs we can deliver to satisfy local businesses and markets, by making these visits,” Timmons said.

Partnering with the provincial polytechnic and regional colleges also benefits all parties. She said, for instance, the U of Regina carries 110 course credit agreements with the polytechnic schools and the local college will soon be offering first-year university courses using Regina campus professors.

The on-campus growth at the province’s southernmost university has been significant with an enrolment of over 14,400 students on campus, along with 2,500 staff. That’s an increase of over 2,500 students in just two years. There are over 2,000 international students and 11 per cent of the student population self-declared as

University of Regina president Vianne Timmons, visited Estevan as part of a community outreach program this week.

First Nations students, not all necessarily enrolled in the First Nations University of Canada which shares the campus with the U of R from which the degrees are granted. Timmons said the First Nations University is on the cusp of reclaiming full administration credentials.

Speaking about the challenges to her presidency, Timmons said she believed the opposition two years ago arose over the rapid and significant changes that she was having to impose on the campus due to financial pressures. She said she learned that some changes cannot be invoked quickly, because the participants needed time to reflect before reworking a strategic plan.

An early retirement scheme to help reduce costs, resulted in a reduction of 30 eductors. She said about 60 were willing to engage in the opportunity, but, in the

end, the cuts didn’t have to be that drastic.

Now with some programs restored and a grow-

students a full appreciation of life on campus.

Besides petroleum and other engineering disciplines, the U of R is building a huge reputation as a deliverer of well-trained teachers and social workers. Plus, a new nursing program in concert with the University of Saskatchewan, is growing in popularity, said Timmons.

Being an all inclusive campus means listening and trying to accommodate international students

more from African nations, as just a sample.

“We also have a disabilities support program and include students with intellectual challenges who are welcomed on campus to monitor classes,” she added.

Distance education is becoming a bigger feature and will be even more prominent once the regional colleges get back into the picture.

“We have some students right on campus, who

take some classes online because of scheduling conflicts. Most like face-to-face classes. We have intensive two and three-week courses in the summer, so we’ve become a 24/7, year round centre of learning,” she said.

“Distance education saves space, but it is costly to deliver and salaries for the professors is non-negotiable,” she said with a smile. “But the saving on infrastructure helps.”

A guaranteed job program introduced a couple of years ago, gained international attention and has worked wonderfully. If they don’t find work within a reasonable time span, they’re welcomed back, tuition-free in a guaranteed program.

“We’ve had 1,400 participants and no one has come back yet,” she said. “Our first pillar at the U of R is student success. I think it’s working.”

This space-saving stylish PC offers impressive productivity features combined with powerful PC performance and security.

Estevan Mercury

It was mostly about war here in 1943

By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca

It was mostly about The War, as Estevan and area citizens turned their calendars to face a new year … 1943.

The Second World War had been raging since 1939 and although there were no sure signs of it ending soon, local residents were already beginning to think about what life in southeastern Saskatchewan would look like after the battles were over.

But the realities of a continuing struggle overseas were very much in evidence on the streets, shops and homes of Estevanites.

Early in the new year, the pages of the Mercury carried the news that milk and cream sale restrictions would be stepped up due to wartime pressures. The Trade Board set a maximum price for cream at 50

cents a quart and whipping cream was eliminated from shelves. The price of milk was also ordered downward by two cents to 50 cents a quart. Farmers were assured they would still get the same compensation for their dairy products and the prices were only being reduced at the retail outlets with government stating they would provide refunds for the merchants.

In mid-January, the community learned Estevan-raised bomb aimer Flight.-Lt. John McCormick had received the Distinguished Flying Cross for his expert work on bomber attacks over Cologne and Bremen as part of a 1,000 Allied plane attack on the Renault works and later Gennevillers near Paris.

McCormick, it was noted, was an Estevan Collegiate Institute graduate who also had a law degree from the University of Saskatch-

ewan, obtained in 1938, a year before he signed up for military service.

On the municipal front, Estevan was disappointed to learn that it had lost its place as one of Saskatchewan’s 16 cleanest communities.

The judging was based on sanitary conditions which included: how the towns handled waste products and how they protected water supplies and food preparation equipment. Up until 1943, Estevan had been a regular member of that exclusive club.

The local Ration Board was established and a second round of ration books were to be distributed within the first few months of the new year.

The town also welcomed back a few men attached to the South Saskatchewan Regiment who had fought bravely in the Battle of Dieppe, were wounded, and were now

returning home for further medical treatment. The returning men included Sgt. C.A. Skogberg and Sgt. Major Frank Mather.

Another veteran of the Dieppe battle, Capt. Ron Wilkinson was sent home as well. It was noted he had looked death in the face for several weeks as he recuperated in a British hospital. Now missing a couple of fingers, but otherwise healthy again, Capt. Wilkinson was to be deployed to Camp Borden where he would continue to serve as an instructor.

Capt. Wilkinson said how proud he was of his fellow Canadian soldiers of the SSR “who spilled out of the barges and onto the beaches at Pourville,” in spite of the odds and impending disaster.

In the first meeting of the new year, Estevan’s town councillors were unanimous in a decision to

Mayor Harry Nicholson said it was time to stop the bootlegging trade and

ECS Business students selling clothing Students from the Estevan Comprehensive School’s Entrepreneurship 30 program have ventured into the world of fashion for their 2015-16 business venture.

They have founded a business named Eminent Clothing. All 29 students have taken on a role to help the company be a success.

Two students serve as the co-presidents, and then the class has vice-presidents for each of human resources, production, marketing, sales, health and safety and information-technology.

Josh LeBlanc is the

course instructor.

“We thought this would be different from what the class would usually do,” said Madison Frehlick, who serves as co-president with Jack Tuttle.

The clothing is geared towards a younger demographic. They are selling baseball-style shirts, hoodies and shirts for men and women.

Frehlick said they chose their name because of their desire to be at the top of their profession. She added their slogan, “Rise Above,” reflects their desire to be great.

The shirts were purchased from Crown Advertising. The students are doing the screen printing in-house.

Sizes will range from small to extra-large. Prices range between $20 for the men’s shirts to $40 for the hoodies. And they will be available in three different colours for each clothing style and each size, meaning they will have a lot of apparel to sell.

Each type of clothing will also have a different logo.

“Crown has been really good about staying in

contact with us, and getting our product to us,” said Frehlick.

One dollar from the sale of each item will be directed towards the family of Denise Cossette. Cossette has been battling cancer for several years, and is facing significant expenses for her treatment.

Frehlick noted everybody associated with the project is working well together. They haven’t had any issues thus far, and she said it’s partly because the business is run like a democracy, with a voting system employed for any

major decisions.

Their first production day was on Nov. 8.

“We learned how to use the screen printing machine on Nov. 6, and then on the production day, we screen printed onto the baseball shirts, the women’s shirts and the hoodies, just to get ourselves started.”

The launch happened on Nov. 10, when they debuted and explained the product. Merchandise went on sale on Nov. 12.

Frehlick expects they will start selling the shirts soon from a small store inside the former campus of the

Southeast College, which is attached to the school.

Eminent Apparel representatives will also be appearing at events such as the Estevan Farmers’ Market Christmas sales to promote and sell their clothing.

People have been clamouring for the products already, she said, as they have already received inquiries from people on when the merchandise will be available.

She said the clothing will likely remain on sale until late January, unless they sell out sooner.

HUGE SAVINGS IN EVERY DEPARTMENT

Five day storm posed challenges ⇠ A4 had been raided by police with no evidence of contraband booze.

On the political front, provincial Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) Leader M.J. Coldwell hit the airwaves to tell provincial residents that they didn’t need the lack of money to stand in the way of social reconstruction once the war ended. He called for the socialization of the banking and financial system. Once the war is over, he stated, “there should be no returning to the unplanned, unregulated competition and crushing monopolistic powers.”

Back to the military front, local support teams were holding classes for residents to help them learn how to protect their homes in the event of an attack.

(See related photo). The use of bayonets, Bren (light machine) guns and coping with lethal gases, would all be taught to those needing to defend their homeland. The lessons would be conducted at the local armouries on Fourth Street.

On the business front, local shop owners were seeking an official Wednesday half-holiday from council.

The edict was eventually granted and shop owners and employees received the half-day holiday starting in mid-March.

Phillips RCA Store advertised plaid tweed jackets for $5.95 and an eight pound bag of turnips for just 25 cents. Another quarter would get you five pounds of carrots.

The new ration books were quickly being distributed as residents turned in the first book. There were also Liquor Board sheets to be stamped during purchases. This effort was touted

by Premier Patterson. The liquor purchase cards were available for $1 and they contained 26 spaces for date stamps with each purchase of a 26 oz. bottle per week.

The Muirhead family was singled out for special recognition by federal authorities after their youngest son, Mickey, lost his life in service. The Flight.-Sgt. in the RCAF was one of seven sons the Muirhead clan had sent into the fray.

LAC Allan Perry sent a letter to local residents and agencies thanking them for having remembered him and others during Christmas.

“Choppy” Knight, a spokesman for the Estevan Fire Department stated they would be cancelling their annual Fireman’s Ball until the end of the war. This social event, he said, did not need to take precedent over more important efforts such as fundraising for the war effort and local charities.

Speaking of fundraising, the newspaper reported that Estevan’s efforts to raise funds for Russia, an Ally in the war, had realized $1,209, which exceeded the target of $1,000.

All kinds of other campaigns were in mid-stream.

The War Savings Certificates were being sold as solid investment opportunities, womens’ groups knitted, sewed and sent comforting packages overseas to Canadians and other Allied troops.

Gasoline rationing continued and metal salvaging operations carried on.

The local Red Cross campaign entered the fray with an objective of raising $4,000 to support their packages. The campaign was launched in mid-February and by March 11, it had topped the $3,000 level and

on March 25, the Mercury declared the target had been topped with a total of $4,357 having been collected. This indicated that the Energy City’s reputation for generosity began years before current-day campaigns such as the United Way and hospital foundations came into play.

Shortly after this target was reached, the importance of the Red Cross parcels was driven home when a letter was received from Gunner Goold who was a German prisoner of war. He stated the Red Cross parcels lifted the spirits and “kept hope alive in the hearts of the boys behind the barbed wire.” He said being a POW meant he was in a vacuum. He knew there had been a past and there might be a future, but in the present, “it is nil.” Goold had been a POW for two years having been captured in France during “three weeks of hurricane action,” as a member of the Yeomanry Regiment. The battle terminated with the gefangenschaft, (imprisonment) he said.

A five-day storm slashed its way through the region in mid-March with constant 50 mph winds. The storm closed schools for four days, cancelled rail and bus services and left Estevan’s streets with four feet of snow. After it was over, suppliers raced to the rescue to get food and coal to city and rural residents, as plows were dispatched to break trails.

Private power companies, including Dominion Electric Power of Estevan were keenly interested in extending services but W.H. Schlosser, their general manager said rural electrification prospects remained poor and that farmers would be advised to seek out their own engine generator sets or turn

Photo courtesy of SaskPower. to “wind electrics,” since the large farms and sparse populations would make the prospects of wiring them pretty slim without some kind of subsidy. He did note though that Dominion and companies like Prairie Power Co., north of Bienfait could reach the village of Lampman by stringing 15 miles of line at a cost of about $16,000. The low voltage line could serve up to 12 farm families along the way and would “barely pay for itself, but would be worth the effort, especially if the government provided a modest subsidy,” said Schlosser. Bringing private and public systems together would allow Dominion and Prairie Power to work a grid that would connect Estevan to Melville and Yorkton.

So with those encouraging notes, Estevan and area entered into the spring of 1943. The war did not end that year, or the next, but it was evident that local spirits and plans were not going to be interrupted or disrupted as the community forged ahead.

A five-day spring snow storm left more than a few snow drifts in its wake as Estevan and other towns and rural areas raced to clear paths to allow for supplies to reach those in need.

Correction In the article that appeared in last week’s Mercury regarding the award presented to pioneer pilot Maurice Monteyne, the award was made on behalf of the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) not the Estevan Flying Club. The club, however, served as host for the celebration and the conduit for the award with Earl Kickley making the presentation on behalf of COPA who had issued their membership card to Monteyne in 1951.

The Mercury apologizes for any confusion that may have been caused as a result of this error.

The optics were promising and the balance appeared to be solid, at least at first blush for the new federal government cabinet.

Ethnic backgrounds, gender and geographic balance and personal skill sets were matched to cabinet postings.

New PM Justin Trudeau may have gone a little overboard with his insistence on making the cabinet numbers totally equal in terms of gender equality with 15 men and 15 women considering the fact that only 25 per cent of the Liberal’s elected members were women.

That one little criticism was neutralized however with the argument that it appears as if the 15 selected women, have the skills, educational and work-related backgrounds to do the assigned jobs. So, no need to apologize for that process. Performance and public scrutiny will judge whether these cabinet appointments were the right ones.

We will be surprised if all 30 or 32 turn out to be gems, but the public owes the new government an opportunity for them to strut their political stuff.

A former Lt.-Col. Narjit Sajjan, a Sikh, as minister of national defence probably raised a few eyebrows at first, but his

Pipelines come from all directions For all the fuss and bother about that pipeline moving oil north to south mostly through a foreign nation, it’s the pipeline moving oil from west to east that we should be most interested in.

The Keystone XL pipeline that would have taken Alberta oilsands oil (and some from Saskatchewan) to the refineries of the U.S. gulf area has clearly been an environmental lightning rod in both U.S. and Canadian politics.

Last week, the pipeline builder TransCanada Corp., asked the U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, to pause the review of the massive project until there is resolution of litigations in Nebraska over the pipeline route. (Editors note: U.S. President Barack Obama rejected the Keystone XL pipeline citing "national interest" on Nov.6) Naturally, this drew more teeth gnashing from pro-oil Western Canadian politicians like Premier Brad Wall who was quick to note the move will impact Saskatchewan

background as an active, decorated member of the Canadian military who saw action in Afghanistan on three tours of duty, pretty well answers any queries posed by Canadian rednecks.

Same thing applies for Carolyn Bennett, minister of indigenous and northern affairs. She has the credentials as well as the background to do the job.

All that is required for new ministers such as Bennett and Sajjan is the opportunity to do the job using an equal and balanced playing field.

We like the fact female members of the cabinet were not assigned junior lip-service portfolios and with Saskatchewan’s own Ralph Goodale heading up public safety, we will probably see a rather rapid disappearance of the much maligned Bill C-51 that was supposed to take aim at terrorism, but looked more like an intrusion on Canadians’ rights to live a relatively unsurveilled lifestyle.

The early hours of the new PM also shed some fresh air on the access file. Or, as one media member proclaimed with a sudden realization on Monday, “you mean we’ll be allowed to ask more than one question?” A direct reference to Harper’s isolated style of governance.

In fact, Trudeau, the junior, lent the CBC and other news agencies unfettered access to him and his cabinet appointees as well as his family. We expect that will change as the hard-nosed reality of politics and security take a firm grip.

Young Trudeau will easily exceed the harsh unavailability standards established

by Harper. It seems he wants to stay directly connected to the people he will be serving and that is part of his personality. The fact he has three small children will keep him grounded in reality and it will be up to the RCMP and other security details to keep him and his family safe, even when they don’t follow the script and the action plan.

We also see this change in governance as a wonderful opportunity for Harper to take a deep breath, put up his feet and steal a moment to reflect. Maybe he’ll write another hockey book, teach some economics classes in Calgary, or, take a few months to do something he and his wife have had on their list for some time, but have never had the time to do because of the job.

Harper was not a bad PM, he had faults and foibles, as do they all. We will be measuring Trudeau’s soon enough. It was just time for him to depart and the electorate is always right.

“from a fiscal standpoint.”

The issue at hand is the pipeline will take oil from landlocked Alberta and Saskatchewan to tidewater.

As it stands now, the only option for Saskatchewan is to sell our oil at the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) price that (those in the oil patch will know all to well), has been all too low these past two years.

Getting Saskatchewan oil directly to sea so it can be sold at the U.K.-based Brent crude price — which happens to be $2 to $3 a barrel higher than the WTI price — is especially important at today’s lower prices of US$45 to US$50 a barrel.

It amounts to a four to eight per cent differential, $40 to $50 million more a year.

That may not seem all that significant, at least not as significant as a market-driven increase in price would be.

But, as Wall points out, it’s still very significant because having to sell at a lower price deprives oil companies the chance to create the capital to invest.

Of course, Wall is still optimistic Keystone will one day go ahead and he is buoyed by the fact Keystone has always received the full support of new Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

“We should be about getting more customers for our oil,” Wall said.

“Right now we have one, that the United States. But just one foreign customer. We need more customers, and that’s what these pipelines will achieve.”

But, in that regard Wall is likely better serving Saskatchewan residents, rural Saskatchewan residents and all Canadians, for that matter, by switching some of his focus to Energy East where Canadians do have

more direct say.

For starters, let us be clear that this was a decision by TransCanada that may very well have been a political move as much as a financial one.

If TransCanada sees it necessary to change gears for whatever reason, it’s just as important for Wall to adjust as well.

And, the Saskatchewan premier showed an ability to do just that late last month.

New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant was meeting with Western premiers and chambers of commerce to make his case for why Energy East is good for the New Brunswick economy.

We’re talking about an increase of $1.5 billion to our GDP (gross domestic product) and an increase of $300 million to the revenues of the government of New Brunswick that we can then invest in education, health care and helping those who are vulnerable in our province,” the young Liberal New Brunswick premier told Saskatchewan reporters.

This buttresses nicely with the Wall/Saskatchewan’s need to get our oil to tidewater.

To have an eastern Canadian premier onside is important. Coming together for perhaps different reasons, on a common cause is how politics should work.

But the value of this all-Canadian Energy East project goes beyond the economic benefits for both provinces. We are also talking about an issue of unity and economic security in which Atlantic provinces would no longer have to be as reliant on unstable Middle East oil.

In this sense, this makes the east-west pipeline perhaps even more important than a north-south one.

Put the sign of success on your front yard.

We need a Ministry of Fun Trudeau the Younger is now PM. Well, good for him!

I have some advice for this upstart.

I’m sure he’ll appreciate it.

He wanted to have diversity, equality and a new outlook on politics, but when he appointed his cabinet I noticed that, with only a few exceptions, he has the same old tired ministries or departments that the other guys had.

The Younger needs a ministry switcheroo, and that’s where I can help. Of course, I do so understanding that it will come with a senate appointment.

It was disappointing to see once again, that many of our elected MPs are political science majors, lawyers, fund managers, bankers and commission chairpersons.

I believe we would have been much better off with more plumbers, electricians, carpenters, computer techies and software programmers in the caucus. But, of course, these people are busy, as opposed to those who made themselves busy getting elected.

Here is the list of suggested new ministries that Trudeau the Sequel needs to open immediately: The Ministry of Marijuana – he wants to legalize it. Do it right.

Ministry of Fresh Starts.

Ministry of Fun with a junior portfolio of Ministry of Beer Gardens and Tents.

Ministry of Weekly Allowances. This will replace the current confusing duo of Treasury and Finance.

The Ministry of Goodale and Roughriders. Saskatchewan needs a place at the table.

Ministry of Defense and Offence. We have to keep the enemy off balance and any good coach will tell you the best defense is a good offense.

Ministry of Hockey and Other International Stuff. This would include incidental portfolios like agriculture, resources, fisheries and international trade and would keep track of the other Justin (Bieber).

Ministry Responsible for Handling Awkward Political Moments. Self explanatory. Every government needs this ministry, but every department thinks they’re too clever and can handle it on their own. They can’t.

Ministry of Teenagers. The Younger said he wanted to engage young people and needed diversity. Well, he has the First Nations involved, has gender and ethnic equality, has geographic disparity aced. He just needs a real young person to tell him what’s what on that file. This ministry can be a subdepartment of the aforementioned Ministry of Fresh Starts or Ministry of Fun. We will lower the voting age.

Ministry of Tweets, Facebook and Blogs. This interlocks with Fresh Starts, Teenage and Fun Ministries. The sub-ministry will be for ancient communications known as telephones, faxes and God forbid, letters.

Ministry of Toronto. This is the centre of the Canadian universe. It requires special attention. Sub-ministry of Hamilton and Other Towns Too Close to call. There will be a deputy minister appointed just to handle Blue Jays jersey and hat sales. Hey, they gotta pay for these ministries somehow. The Roughriders can’t do it all!

Ministry of Quebec. (See above). The federal government is required to deliver two-thirds of all the revenue sharing funds to this province. It should have it’s own ministry. It will also oversee the annual $2 billion handout to Bombardier which apparently, is an important company.

And finally, the Ministry of Senate Reform or Dismissal.

Trudeau the Younger needs someone to babysit these people to keep them quiet, distracted, amused and hopefully, out of jail.

Final thought: Why didn’t any of the eight candidates who surfaced to serve as interim Conservative Leader challenge Stevie Wonder that Harper Boy, when it was obvious he needed replacing a few years back?

Final final thought: Why is Brian Mulroney being trotted out to serve as some kind of sage adviser? Check the record folks, our memories can’t be that short!

Letters to the Editor

Guild wants restoration of CBC/Radio Canada The following was a letter submitted to Melanie Joly, the new Minister of Canadian Heritage and is reprinted here with permission.

Dear Honourable Joly: As leaders of the union that represent employees of CBC/RadioCanada, we are writing to you as the incoming Minister.

Congratulations on your appointment to this important role, which includes defending and enhancing the valuable cultural and economic contribution of the public broadcaster.

We urge you to please act immediately to stop the ongoing dismantling of CBC/Radio-Canada.

Our members work in communities across the country to create original, independent programming that is available on radio, television and online and that is dedicated to informing, enlightening and entertaining Canadians.

In numerous surveys, and in public events and demonstrations from coast to coast, people unequivocally agree that CBC/Radio-Canada plays a vital role in nurturing and promoting Canadian cultural identity.

Yet, ideological funding cuts and strategic direction taken by CBC/Radio-Canada senior management have systematically crippled the public

broadcaster, thereby threatening both its role as the largest and most widely available news organization in the country, and its mandate to produce and promote original Canadian news, information as well as programming and production in areas such as arts and culture, sports and science and technology.

CBC/Radio-Canada’s capacity to meet its mandate needs to be restored. Stable, long-term funding is necessary to ensure quality Canadian programming and production that is in the public’s interest.

To begin, it is crucial that the current senior management stop further programming and service cuts, including any further reductions to overall staffing levels.

We are particularly concerned about cuts to local news and regional programming, cuts in in-house production capacity, as well as plans to sell production assets and studios, all part of what CBC president Hubert Lacroix has called “Strategy 2020.”

We look to you for leadership and vision to safeguard Canada’s public broadcaster for generations to come. As CBC/Radio-Canada awaits your government’s first federal budget and the pledged reversal of recent funding cuts, we urge you to consider immediate bridge funding, to restore local news services, and in-house

audio and visual production capacity.

Quickly implement a straightforward and independent process to select a new board of directors (we have provided suggestions about how this can be done without requiring legislative change), and select a new CBC/Radio-Canada president at the earliest opportunity.

Reverse Conservative measures allowing political interference in day-to-day operations at CBC/RadioCanada (Division 17 of Omnibus budget bill 2013).

At its best, we believe public broadcasting ensures universal access to high-quality journalism, information, and cultural programming — regardless of where Canadians live or how much money they have.

Under your leadership, we can restore CBC/Radio-Canada to a place of pride and build it into a public broadcaster that serves all Canadians well for generations to come.

We are available to meet with you at your earliest convenience and to share more information as you require.

Sincerely, Carmel Smyth, National president, Canadian Media Guild.

Isabelle Montpetit, president, Syndicat des Communications de Radio-Canada

was up 1,400 (0.2 per cent) from September to October (seasonally adjusted).

The unemployment rate in Saskatchewan was 5.6 per cent in October, the second lowest among the provinces on a seasonally adjusted basis. Nationally, the unemployment rate was seven per cent.

Other highlights in the report include: There were 580,000 people employed, an increase of 600 jobs compared with October 2014.

Drilling activity will remain stable

By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca

Drilling activity in Saskatchewan will remain stable in 2016, according to Mark Salkeld, the president and CEO of the Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC).

Salkeld released PSAC’s 2016 drilling forecast on Nov. 3 in Calgary.

PSAC expects there will be 1,789 wells drilled in Saskatchewan next year, which is an increase of four from their final forecasted figure of 1,785 wells for this year.

“You have a couple of really good and wellestablished and aggressive producers in that region,” said Salkeld. “You’re close to the (U.S.) border, with an access to market.

“They (Saskatchewan

forecasted reduced drilling activity for the province, he said, but the change in government does add another level of complexity for investor confidence.

“They seem to be listening to us, and following through with their campaign promises,” said Salkeld. “You can’t blame them for what they’re doing with respect to regulatory reviews, climate change and royalty changes. They promised those things, and they have to follow through on them.”

PSAC bases its 2016 forecast on average natural gas prices of C$2.75 per metric cubic foot, crude oil prices of US$53 per barrel, and the Canadian dollar averaging 75 cents US. Salkeld said the past year has been very difficult

oil and gas businesses) have increased their rail-loading capacity significantly, so they’ve got lots more ability to get it on trains and get it across the border and into refineries into the northern U.S., or even further into the Gulf (Coast).”

Oilfield companies in Saskatchewan have also worked with service providers to lower costs.

As for the other provinces, PSAC estimates 2,733 wells will be drilled in Alberta, compared to a projected 2,817 for 2015.

Manitoba will see an increase from 249 to 280 wells, and B.C. will have 344 wells drilled, which is down significantly from 480.

Alberta’s New Democrat Party government has not been a factor in the

completion activity levels all year, which has reflected in their forecasts.

Salkeld said PSAC has a good track record, but last year was an exception.

They released their drilling forecast for 2015 last fall at the onset of the oil price crash; but they still forecasted there would be 10,100 wells, and an average oil price of US$85 per barrel.

He admits PSAC underestimated the size and the duration of the oil price crash, and so did everyone else.

“We should have actually known better in hindsight, because the one thing Canada is really good at is shutting down,” said Salkeld. “When things get tight, we can shut down operations really fast.”

for their members. They started to see the impact of the oil price slump late last year, and once their normal winter activity began, they experienced what Salkeld termed as an “economic breakup,” as opposed to a “weather breakup.”

“Typically we would run until the road bans came on, and the frost started to come out of the ground,” said Salkeld. “Then we aren’t allowed to run our heavy equipment. But this year, drilling programs were cut short and rigs were released, and we were shut down far sooner than we typically would have been in the past.”

Drilling activity usually picks up in early July, but it didn’t. Drilling companies have been running at about 50 per cent drilling

There have been slowdowns before, but this one has lasted for a year, and it’s extending longer than they thought.

“Nobody knows for sure (how long it will last),” said Salkeld. “Nothing is there to show us any kind of a change or any kind of an increase. Some of the analysts are drawing drilling activity forecasts that went out earlier this week that are predicting a bit of an uptick at the end of this year … just based on investor activity, but they didn’t forecast any numbers.”

The industry will survive the current economic slowdown, but there’s no indication the price recovery will begin soon.

“It could come around tomorrow,” he said. “That’s this industry.”

New artist in residence will question barriers

By Sam Macdonald smacdonald@estevanmercury.ca

Diana Chisholm, a graduate artist originally from Nova Scotia, is excited to spend this year working with the Estevan Arts Council as the new artist in residence. After moving around a bit, finishing her graduate studies at the University of Saskatchewan, and then spending part of the past year in Newfoundland, she is looking forward to getting started.

“I found out midAugust that I was offered the position in Estevan, so I’m fairly fresh,” said Chisholm.“I’ve had opportunities to do small residencies and have had access to studio spaces and facilities, but this is different in length for sure. I’ll be here for a year.”

Chisholm said she intends to familiarize herself

with, and integrate into, the Energy City and its art scene — something she doesn’t believe will be too difficult, considering she is originally from a small town in rural Nova Scotia. She says she has no specific over-arching plan beyond wanting to create an environment of artistic collaboration in the community.

“I want to decipher what kind of art interventions and interactions the community is open to, as opposed to saying, ‘This is a really good idea, let’s do this,’” said Chisholm. “I want to plan things based on local interests, more than my own, per se.”

Chisholm has spent the last few years living between Newfoundland and Saskatchewan, working primarily in sculpture and installation art. She has a bachelor of arts with a major in studio art, and a minor

in art history from Memorial University’s Grenfell Campus. She also has a masters of arts in studio art from the University of Saskatchewan.

While working with the Estevan Arts Council, Chisholm said her time spent as artist in residence will be “equal measures studio practice and community outreach.” She plans to balance some key objectives in the coming year: creating regular in-studio art, pursuing goals associated with her own individual projects and ideas, and creating a strong amount of community engagement by implementing programs for that purpose.

“I have a variety of things planned. I’m looking at some drawing and botanical painting. I work mostly in sculpture, and am hoping to introduce a three-dimensional workshop space,”

said Chisholm. “(My position) entails working with schools and seniors’ homes, and arranging studio visits from local artists, to give them a chance to talk about their work.”

Chisholm noted that her art focuses on themes of delineation of public and private space, focusing on borders and fences, and how they’re constructed and defined. Her work documents boundaries, but also questions the solidity, transparency and permeability of them.

Chisholm’s projects often are made of materials from which real life barriers are constructed, and involve materials like survey stakes, cinder blocks, and crocheted chain link fence. A recent project on which she has been working is photography printed on clear transparency film.

She noted that while she’s

Diana Chisholm is the newly appointed artist in residence with the Estevan Arts Council. She introduced herself to guests at the Adjudicated Art Show on the evening of Nov. 7. in Estevan, she is looking to start a new body of work.

“What I’ve done has revolved around how infrastructure is changing spaces. Where I grew up, there’s a highway being twinned, so the possibility is great with the open building

around Estevan, and kind of at the outskirts of Estevan,” said Chisholm. “It’s really intriguing to me. That stems from me having been a nomad, rather than being situated in one space. It’s nice to have a year to discover one area and explore the space.”

Grade 9 student Beahm, one of many out in the workforce for a day Victoria Beahm, a Grade 9 student at Estevan Comprehensive School, spent the good part of the working day with Estevan Mercury and Southeast Lifestyles staff members on Nov. 4.

Victoria was one of about 200 first-year high school students who participated in the Take Your Kid to Work Day. Although Victoria did not have any family members at the newspaper, she was welcomed aboard since she had expressed interest in graphic arts, illustrations and writing and was willing to accept the

invitation to get involved in the day’s activities.

“There were confidentiality restrictions as far as working with my mom,” she said, referring to her pharmacist mother.

And appearing at her father’s place of employment could only have been arranged through a tour opportunity.

“It’s pretty cool how they create ads,” said Victoria, commenting on the time spent in the newspapers’ graphic arts production department. “They have some great choices and colour palettes,” she added. The young student

also got to make some planned changes to a few graphic displays on advertisements and she viewed a video that featured the various processes that go into the creation of a newspaper, including the printing plant located on the west side of the city.

In the afternoon Victoria joined sales associates to make a few business calls and also spent time with editorial staff members who explained how news and feature stories along with photos, are reported, recorded and displayed for readers and viewers on a weekly basis.

Estevan Mercury

Police continue to focus on impaired driving

career ads online! www.estevanmercury.ca

Estevan Police Service members arrested several more impaired drivers, and also tackled other calls, in the first few days of November.

Police were called to a panic alarm at a local east end business during the Nov. 2 day shift. Officers arrived and learned the alarm wasn’t working properly. Everyone was found to be safe.

Members were then called to a domestic dispute in northeast Estevan.

A 36-year-old man was arrested and is facing an assault charge. He is slated to appear in court in January.

His name was not immediately released. The man was checked by EMS at the scene. The other party involved was also checked.

Police are still investigating the incident, and need to speak to a few more people.

Officers were called to a collision at the intersection of Souris Avenue South and Perkins Street in the early morning hours of Nov. 3. An older model sedan collided with a sign and a cement pillar at a service station, then drove through the parking lot and came to a stop on the service road.

There was considerable damage to the vehicle, and the driver failed to remain at the scene. The matter is still under investigation, but charges are pending against the registered owner.

Police also responded to a complaint of a hitand-run in the Pleasantdale area. An investigation is ongoing.

Officers were then called to a residence in the city’s core, after a complaint of a person smoking an illegal substance. A female was spoken to and the matter will be forwarded to a partner agency for review.

Police were dispatched to a report of an impaired driver in central Estevan

during the Nov. 3 night shift. The vehicle was located, a traffic stop occurred and the driver was found to be sober.

EPS members received a report of a vehicle fire north of the city limits. The Estevan Fire and Rescue Service was dispatched to the location. No injuries were reported.

Police stopped a vehicle in north Estevan during the Nov. 4 night shift.

When the driver tried to pull over, he drove into an unknown person’s yard. A Regina man was arrested for failing to supply a suitable breath sample for a roadside screening device, and was held until he was sober. A 26-year-old male

passenger had a warrant for his arrest in Regina. He was arrested and later released with a court date in December. Their names were not immediately available.

Police stopped a vehicle in west Estevan during the night shift. The female driver and lone occupant was arrested for possession of cocaine. She was released with a December court date. Her name was not available.

Police were dispatched to a residence twice for a suspected domestic dispute during the Nov. 6 night shift. Occupants were advised that their voices were too loud and neighbours were concerned. They were warned of the noise bylaw.

Two people were issued tickets for having open alcohol in a vehicle.

The fine is $300 under the Alcohol Gaming and Regulations Act. Police arrested and charged another impaired driver during the night shift. A 23-year-old man had readings well above double the legal limit. He will answer to the charge on Dec. 21.

A 21-year-old man was arrested for public intoxication and lodged in cells until sober.

Two male suspects stole some liquor from a local business. The matter remains under investigation.

A man and a woman

were charged for breaching curfew conditions. They were slated to appear in court on Nov. 9.

Police were alerted to a possible impaired driver in northeast Estevan during the Nov. 7 night shift. The vehicle was located when it was parked at a residence.

The owner was spoken to about the complaint and informed a formal letter will be issued.

Members then received a complaint about coyotes within the city limits. Officers were not able to find any in the area.

A complaint of another impaired driver was received, and police located the vehicle near a local drinking establishment.

15112MF3

The driver was arrested when he failed the roadside screening test. The 24-yearold man provided breath samples that exceeded the legal limit. He will answer to the charge on December 21.

Another complaint of an impaired driver was received that night. The vehicle was said to be on a highway, heading toward Estevan. RCMP and local police did not locate a vehicle matching the description.

A 22-year old man was charged for having open alcohol when he was seen leaving a drinking establishment and walking across the street with the drink in his hand.

she would not accept that as God’s will. Her dream had always been to become a mother and she walked out of the doctor’s office saying one day she would come back to him pregnant.

Receiving miraculous healing from her cancer, she went on to adopt a baby boy, then she dealt with the heartbreak of having to return him to his biological mother. Law did walk into the doctor’s office, 14 years after her diagnosis, expecting her daughter Nicole.

The Saskatchewan government, in collaboration with municipal partners announced a new set of guidelines that will help local governments determine appropriate levels of financial compensation for boundary alternations.

The announcement, made on Nov. 5, were developed in concert with the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) and the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities (SUMA). They provide a road map for municipal governments during negotiations, to achieve financial settlements that are fair and equitable to both parties.

Jim Reiter, the provincial minister of government relations, made the announcement.

The guidelines are designed to establish consistency and fairness for financial settlements during boundary alterations. They are based on a series of principles that include a set of related questions and answers to explain how they should be interpreted and applied locally by rural and urban municipalities.

SUMA president Debra Button and SARM president Ray Orb welcomed the move toward the voluntary guidelines that recognize continued

growth in the province.

It was noted the Saskatchewan Municipal Board (SMB) can also use the guidelines as a basis to resolve boundary disputes.

SMB will encourage municipalities to use the new guidelines as a first step in achieving a voluntary agreement through regulation and mediation prior to any adjudication by their board.

Other measures have already been taken by the province to streamline the boundary alteration process including a series of legislative amendments.

A manual has been developed to help guide the processes.

Bruins defenceman Zach Douglas charges the front of the Terriers net during the second period of Estevan’s 6-4 loss to Yorkton at Affinity Place on Friday.

Penalties a problem in Bruins losses

By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

Undisciplined penalties came back to haunt the CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins junior A hockey team on the weekend in home and sort of home losses to the Yorkton Terriers.

The Bruins (10-8-0-1 and second in the Viterra Division) racked up four minor penalties in the second period of a 3-1 loss to the Terriers (7-11-0-1 and third in the Viterra) at Moosomin on Saturday. That loss followed a 6-4 defeat, thanks in large part to a late second period short-handed goal, by the Terriers at Affinity Place on Friday.

“We were short-handed probably 10 or 12 minutes out of the (second) period (on Saturday),” said Bruins goaltender Tyler Fuhr, who stopped 35 of 38 shots in the game. “You can’t get any flow when you’re killing (penalties) for half the period.”

Fuhr said the Bruins played a solid game against the Terriers at Moosomin, but their special teams play is hurting them. In the past four games, which includes a 3-2 away win against the Humboldt Broncos at Elgar Peterson Arena last Tuesday and an 8-4 victory over the Kindersley Klippers at Kindersley’s West Central Events Centre last Wednesday, the Bruins have scored once and been scored on once in 15 power play opportunities while giving up five goals on 19 penalty kills.

FOR LEASE

“It’s almost like we’re trying to do too much out there,” said Fuhr. “We need to keep it simple and just put pucks to the net. I think as soon as we get one it’s the monkey off our back and they’ll start coming a lot easier.”

Chris Lewgood, head coach and general manager of the Bruins, said their power play showed good movement in their first game against the Terriers, but took a step back in the second game through forcing plays and not making the correct reads.

He said the penalty kill has been relatively good, but they have to stop making so many trips to the box.

“There has been a bit of a stretch here where we’ve taken too many penalties,” said Lewgood, noting there is a difference between good penalties and bad. “We’ve just taken too many unnecessary penalties.”

Lewgood said there is still a lot of work to do to get where they need to be and the team must stay on an even keel. He said they can’t get too excited about losing the last two games or winning the previous three before that and the focus remains on their next game and getting better as a team right now.

“We’re a team,” said Fuhr. “This weekend was a rough couple games for sure, but we all have one common goal and that’s to win the league and not back door our way into westerns here. We set a goal at the start of the year to win the league and win the

western championship and hopefully win a national title. That’s still our goal.

“We’re not getting down in the room.

We’re still focused on our goals. We’ll have a good week in practice and a good home stand and hopefully get back in the

win column.”

In roster news, Dane Schioler, whom the Bruins own the SJHL playing rights to, is contemplating his future after being released from the WHL’s Prince Albert Raiders.

Elecs tame Tigers

By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

The Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs junior girls’ volleyball team claimed a third place finish at their home tournament on Saturday afternoon with a three-set victory over the Carnduff Tigers.

“This was the best we’ve played all year,” said Elecs’ middle Aiden Miller. “We just played our hardest.”

The Elecs jumped out to a quick 4-1 lead in their first set against the Tigers on three points scored during Araya Wheeler’s

serve. The home side would bump the lead to 13-7 on a six-point run with Miller serving, but a strong Tigers push back led by a six-point gain on an unbroken serve by Mia Plews brought the score to 13-13. After going pointfor-point leading to an 1816 Estevan lead, the Elecs’ Hallie Hanson broke the game open on a four-point serve to bring the score to 22-16 before the teams finished off the set 25-18 in the home side’s favour.

Carnduff got out to an early 7-1 lead in the second set thanks to Plews and Kendal Waldbauer,

but Estevan would eventually even the score at 1212 on a five-point run during the serves of Kelsey Pastachak and Sammy Wade. Waldbauer helped the Tigers jump out again to a 19-14 lead before Hanson brought the score close again at 23-21. The Tigers won the set 25-22 on Leah MacFarlane’s serve.

Speedway recognizes top drivers and volunteers

By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

Doug Johner is someone who isn’t normally recognized for his dedication to making the Estevan Motor Speedway as great a racing facility as it is, but that changed on Saturday night.

Johner was presented with the Estevan Motor Speedway Volunteer of the Year Award at the race track’s 16th annual Awards Banquet and Volunteer Appreciation Night held at Beefeater Plaza.

“It means a lot to me, especially how it’s a really new award,” said Johner.

“I’m the first one to receive it, so that’s pretty special.”

The award went to Johner for his dedication to helping better the track each season since it began operation in 2000. That first year he helped put the seeding in place, the posts in and poured cement along with many other tasks.

Since that time, the dedicated volunteer has made a habit of getting rid of any garbage that has blown in during the winter at the beginning of the season, picked rocks off the track during the summer and even spent over 300 hours one year scraping and painting the posts at the track.

“I’ve been a fan all my life and I love going to the race track and I love our facility,” he said. “For the painting, I was just looking at the place thinking ‘wow, this place is really starting to get run down. It could use a little paint here and here.’ So I asked if I could go get some paint and start doing it. I just like to help out.”

Also recognized at the Estevan Motor Speedway Awards Banquet were the top drivers of the year, including Gregg Mann who received the Clint Prette Memorial Award for his hard work, sportsmanship and great representation of the track on and off it. The 2015 Rookies of the Year were Jeffrey Ellis (IMCA Hobby Stock), Colin Hall (IMCA Stock Car), Justin Medler (IMCA Modified) and Devin Raynard (Wissota Late Model).

Winners of the Runner Up awards were Riley Raynard (IMCA Hobby Stock), Joren Boyce (IMCA Stock Car), Travis Hagen (IMCA Modified) and Tyson Turnbull (Wissota Late Model). Leevi Runge (IMCA Hobby Stock), Jordan Durward (IMCA Stock Car), Steven

Pfeifer (IMCA Modified) and Aaron Turnbull (Wissota Late Model) won the Points Champions of 2015 awards.

“It means a lot to win that with my best friend,” said Riley Raynard in reference to taking the runner up award for the hobby stock class and Leevi Runge being declared the points champion. “It’s something that’s really important.”

“It’s pretty awesome,” added Runge. “We basically raced together. We’re friends on the track and off the track.”

The Minot, North Dakota, resident said the Estevan Motor Speedway was a great track on the better part of each race night in 2015 and he enjoys coming here knowing the racing will be good heading in.

“We come up here because we enjoy coming

Bruins muzzle Hounds in penalty-filled game

By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

The TS&M Estevan bantam AA Bruins defeated the Notre Dame Hounds 4-2 at Affinity Place on Sunday, but a parade to the penalty box proves there is still work to do.

“If we stay out of the penalty box I think we would probably win that game 4-0, so we’ve got to learn to be more disciplined,” said Bruins head coach Tom Copeland.

“We’re the two most penalized teams in the league right there and there is no excuse for us to be a most penalized team. I don’t understand it and we’re working on it.”

The Bruins (7-2-3) controlled the play early on going up 12-1 in shots by the 13-minute mark of the first period before an Estevan penalty helped the

Hounds (0-8-2) get into the game. A four-minute penalty to the Hounds’ Brett Ambrozic with 1:29 left helped the home side to their first goal when Colby Himmelspeck passed the puck out front and Josh Romanyk knocked it into the net through traffic.

Estevan went up 2-0 a little less than13 minutes into the second when Himmelspeck’s shot from the point went five-hole on Hounds goalie Dalan Marleau. Notre Dame replied on a five-on-three advantage with 3:15 left in the second frame when Andrew Hill tipped a point shot by Tyson Lambert over the glove of Bruins goaltender Bryson Garton to make the score 2-1 heading into the third.

The Bruins opened it up in the final frame when defenceman Dylan Hull scored one minute and 11

leau. Thirty-three seconds later Bruins captain Mason Strutt made the score 4-1 when he managed to deke the Notre Dame goalie from in front before potting the puck into an open cage.

“It was a real good offensive game with lots of shots,” said Hull, who is

an assistant captain for the Bruins. “They’re a tough team.”

Copeland said the Hounds typically bring a strong defensive effort and great goaltending and that showed itself on Sunday.

He said they managed to outshoot the team early,

but that got their goalie into the game early making the match a dangerous one for the home side.

“We had to put out best effort forward,” he said.

“Right now every team in our league is capable of winning and Notre Dame is no different.”

Prairie Mud Bruins enter battle in Prince Albert The Estevan Prairie Mud peewee A Bruins hockey team started off the 2015-16 season this past weekend with a great showing at a Prince Albert tournament.

“This was our first time as a team in this tournament,” said Bruins head coach Shawn Saxon, noting most teams at the 12-team Nov. 6 to 8 tourney had already played three or four games before going there.

“Going into the first game I was very optimistic for coming (away) with a win, but I had seen the talent that we had and the boys pulled it off really well.”

After finishing tops in their pool, the Bruins matched up against the home side Prince Albert Canadians in the A semifinal.

The Canadians got on the

board first with three seconds left in the first period, but Estevan battled back to tie the game at ones with 6:52 left in the second frame on a goal by Kadah Chrest.

Prince Albert got back on the board twice late in the second to make the score 3-1 heading into the final period. The Bruins made the score close on a marker from Clay McKersie and should have tied it, but a quick whistle negated the goal. That whistle seemed to give the home side the momentum and they proceeded to score twice in the final three minutes to take the semifinal 5-2.

“It was a great game,” said Saxon. “It was back and fourth action. We matched up very well with the Canadians and it would (be) nice to have a rematch

somewhere in the future because the skill level was excellent.”

Saxon said the team is working on scheduling a couple home and away exhibition games around the southeast in the coming months and some are in the process of being finalized.

He said the team will also participate in the Winnipeg Jets Challenge Cup in the Manitoba capital over the Christmas holidays.

“We’re gearing up for that,” he said. “Basically our primary focus in practice is getting the kids playing in their positions, cleaning up a few areas that we need to clean up from the (Prince Albert) tournament and looking forward I believe we have a great squad to compete with any A team in Saskatchewan.”

Snowmobile Club ready for the white stuff

By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

There are more than a few people in Estevan wishing for snow.

These winter athletes want the white stuff to hurry up and blanket the earth, or at least the southeastern part of Saskatchewan, so they can get on their snowmobiles and ride.

Dave Heier, president

of the Estevan Snowmobile Club, said the trail captains are in place and once the snow falls their 260 kilometres of trails will be up and running. He said the plan as they head into the season is to make sure they have enough trail signs and they are properly placed and their groomers complete their necessary training.

“The other thing was we approved expenditures

Noonan, ND (Old Nygaard building) $25+parts -- Oil Changes

for a warm-up shelter somewhere northwest of Lampman on the trail,” said Heier, noting the shelter will be completed for this season and compliment their existing shelters near Benson, Wilmar and Outram. He said the cost to the club to build the shelter will come in at $3,000 to $5,000 depending on what they receive for donations and in-kind work.

The Estevan Snowmobile Club is planning to hold two derbies this season with the first happening on the

first weekend of February and the second occurring on the first weekend of March.

Each will be located at the Estevan Archery Club. A popular derby in Arcola staged by the town’s Optimist Club is also planned for the end of January.

Heier said the club is in a good position financially heading into the season with approximately $10,000 in savings and having almost paid off the $135,000 groomer they purchased three years ago. He said the

club raises money through their derbies as well as the funding they receive from the Saskatchewan Snowmobile Association through their licence registration program and their 4-Sled Raffle promotion.

There are about 15 to 20 regular members of the Estevan Snowmobile Club and they also welcome a lot of other non-members who volunteer their time to help the club. Heier said new members are also welcome, but their gratitude towards

volunteer help cannot be understated because it is a lot of work to get their 260 kms of trails up and running each season.

“Our trails run all the way up to Benson and across to Wilmar and then north into Arcola, so we join up with Moose Mountain trails up there,” he said.

“We have a south trail that goes down past Rafferty (Dam) and goes out south of Oungre, comes around

by Boundary Dam and back to town.”

Elecs earn third place finish at home tournament ⇠ B1 due to the bigger crowd and higher expectations, but Estevan was determined to make sure they came out with a good showing and managed to bounce back from the second-set loss.

“We get down on ourselves usually (when they lose a set),” she said. “We didn’t this tournament, so it was better.”

With Wade serving, the Elecs jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead in the deciding third set. Wheeler then helped the home side score another four points to give them an 8-2 advantage.

On the Elecs third serve, Pastachak got the team another three points to bring the score to 12-5, before Hanson and Courtney Kanigan finished off the game on their serves securing the home side a 15-9 win. “ We w e r e r e a l l y pumped up,” said Elecs’ setter and right side hitter Hanson after the third set. “We wanted to win at home.”

Marcel MacFarlane, head coach of the Tigers, said his girls battled really well against Estevan, but the slow start in the third set did them in. He said despite the finish the Tigers showed great competitive-

ness in the game and in the tourney as a whole, so they should be proud of what they’ve accomplished.

“We’re going to have an opportunity to meet Estevan again on Nov. 12,” said MacFarlane, about the upcoming District Championships this Thursday in Moosomin.

“Hopefully we can make some adjustments and be better prepared.”

The Elecs reached the third-place game against Carnduff by placing second in their pool with a 6-2 record in sets played, which set them up for an opening playoff match against the Yorkton Raiders. Estevan bested the Raiders 25-23, 25-17 to earn a semifinal game against the Moose Jaw Peacock Toilers.

Despite a strong point-for-point first set that saw Estevan hold the lead for the majority of play, Moose Jaw prevailed with a late push to win 2624. The Toilers controlled the play in the second set winning 25-16 giving them a berth in the first-place game against the Lumsden Angels. Moose Jaw took the evenly played final game of the Elecs home tourney on scores of 2426, 25-18 and 15-10.

“We’ve seen them in Balgonie,” said Toilers head coach Lorne Polupski about the Angels. “They beat us in Balgonie in three sets and we came back, a little redemption here, and beat them in three sets. It’s great for the girls to end on this note.”

Melissa Holman, head coach of the Elecs, said they enter districts on Thursday having come together as a team to play their best volleyball of the season during this home tourney. She said they’ve experienced a tough run this year with injuries, but the girls have risen to the challenge and grown as better all-around volleyball players as a result making a good finish at districts a distinct possibility.

“There has been a huge amount of improvement and that’s what our goal was as coaches,” said Holman. “The girls picked a goal at the beginning of the year and they were supposed to pick something they wanted to work on and as a team most of them chose to work on hitting. Our hitting has far surpassed any goals we could have imagined.

We’re hitting a lot better and in more instances.”

ECS career fair shows students what’s available after high school

By Sam Macdonald smacdonald@estevanmercury.ca

High schoolers from all over Southeast Cornerstone School Division contemplating their prospective careers, checked out some of the options that are available to them, last Thursday.

Students in Grade 10, 11 and 12 flocked the gym at Estevan Comprehensive School to consult with representatives and experts from assorted post-secondary institutions and organizations, at a career fair. The day featured numerous exhibits and panels hosted by representatives of institutions ranging from the University of Lethbridge to the RCMP. Panels put on throughout the day were hosted by professionals, including pharmacists, an ultrasound technician, a welder, an auto mechanic, and electrician and power engineer, all sharing information and answering any questions. Presenters hailing from all across Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, British Columbia and numerous states south of the U.S. border were on hand throughout the day, to inform students of what options await them upon completion of high school.

“It’s awesome. There

are so many different schools you can learn about, with all the programs you could ever want,” said Cheyenne Odgers, a Grade 11 student browsing the stands set up in the gym, on Thursday morning. “It’s useful, especially if you’re a Grade 11 and trying to figure out what you want to do after high school.”

Stacy Dutka, a teacher and academic advisor at ECS who co-ordinated the event, noted that although there were only 55 booths set up, there were over 100 presenters giving information to students throughout the day.

“I think it’s good for the students to have the option to have specific questions for an institution they’re already interested in,” said Dutka.

“A lot of people say this is great for the Grade 12s, which it definitely is, but it’s also good for the Grade 11s, because they’re the ones that might be undecided and sitting on the fence, and it gives them a glimpse, and they think, ‘Oh, I never thought of this.’”

Dutka noted she was very pleased with the turnout of presenters, community members, and most of all, the students. Over 1,000 students attended the career fair, many of whom were

Students chatted with members of the Canada Border Services Agency, at an exhibit the agency set up in the gym, during the career fair at Estevan Comprehensive School, on Nov. 5. from rural schools in Oxbow, Lampman, Gladmar, Redvers and Manor.

“It’s been busy this morning. There’s been lots of interest in the health care field,” said Janice Wagner, a mentorship and preceptorship coordinator for Sun Country Health Region.

“There’s a lot of interest in nursing and medical imaging fields, such as X-ray and CT scan, as well.

“It’s excellent, and it gives a good chance to view

all of the different professions for students who may

be looking to get into a medical profession.”

OTS hosts its annual meeting The Estevan Oilfield Technical Society (OTS) used their annual general meeting on Nov. 3 to take care of some routine business, and to discuss a number of promotional initiatives.

OTS members reviewed their special events and their other efforts from 2015, and looked ahead to next year.

The OTS suffered a small deficit of a little more than $1,000 during the most recent fiscal year.

“It was a down year for the OTS compared to previous years, which is to be expected with the way the oil patch is,” said Estevan OTS president Brett Campbell.

The organization has typically had a surplus each year.

But the OTS still donated to several community projects this year: $5,000

for the Estevan Public Library’s teen area; $7,500 for the Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup Junior A hockey tournament; and $10,000, to be paid out this year and next year, for the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games.

The OTS will be the sponsor for the main bleachers at Estevan’s new track and field facility thanks to their sponsorship.

“We’re still staying very active in the community,” said Campbell.

The OTS will once again host their Oilmen’s open curling bonspiel in March and their golf tournament in June next year.

They also help out with the Oilwomen’s Golf Tournament in July.

They continued to celebrate the oil patch’s history by presenting the Dayman family with a lifetime achievement award;

While donations for the OTS’s events were down last year, the numbers for the golf tournaments and the bonspiel were good.

“It keeps the morale of

the employees up if they’re able to go golfing or curling,” said Campbell.

Companies who cover their employees entry fees to attend those events benefit because of the networking opportunities those events provide.

“Our events are all about bringing like-minded oilpatch people together to create commerce, build relationships and give them a good time outside of the patch,” said Campbell. “In that, we succeeded very much.”

Campbell was re-elected as president during the meeting. New to the board are Conrad Mieli and Bernie Bjorndalen. Returning members are Tony Sernick, Chris Kennedy, Carl Henneberg, Jordon Blanchette and Dale Whitfield.

The organization launched their new logo at the annual meeting. It

features an oil derrick, with the words Estevan Oilfield Technical Society at the bottom. It also includes their website, and it notes the OTS was established in 1962.

They also announced a redesign of their website. The OTS has had a site since 2007, which has allowed them to promote their events and services to the community as a whole.

Campbell added the OTS will embark on a membership drive next year.

“At all our events, we sell memberships to the Estevan Oilmen’s, but we’ve never been aggressively going after it,” said Campbell.

Other clubs in Estevan send out membership renewal notices, and the OTS is confident a membership drive will boost their numbers.

Changes to online access being implemented at Energy and Resources

By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca

Changes are being made to the inner workings at Energy and Resources, an extension portfolio within the Ministry of the Economy.

On the surface, these changes are subtle, but no less important.

“We’re switching out a system that’s about 35-yearsold and making our daily drilling activity reports and daily well bulletins more accessible to the industry and the public,” said Ed Dancsok, assistant deputy minister and senior strategic lead for oil and natural gas development, who spoke with the Mercury on Nov. 6.

The old site was taken off-line this past weekend and will be replaced with the new and improved site by Nov. 19.

Dancsok warned, however, like any and all transitions of this nature, “expect a few glitches here and there.

But ultimately, we’ll be making this more user-friendly.”

The deputy minister said that as luck would have it, “this is probably a good time to make the switch with the oilpatch not experiencing a lot of activity right now. It would have been a big challenge a couple of years ago when all stops were out.”

The daily drilling and well bulletins will be archived on the new system for easy access, and a service desk will be provided for those who may experience difficulties in following the

Ed Dancsok directions to pick up what they need via the Internet.

The new site is being referred to as IRIS for Integrated Resources Information System.

“We will have one complete day of inputs and test the system before we open it to the industry for well licensing and other business,” said Dancsok, adding that it was regrettable that the ministry

feedback from the industry regarding what is working and what isn’t working for them.”

Dancsok said the new processes will give the ministry an opportunity to grant various activities on a “same day turnaround as opposed to days, or sometimes weeks, of waiting for approval.”

The deputy minister said he wasn’t sure what impact,

When someone you love becomes a treasure.

Love and miss you mom.

Love your family.

THERESE THOMPSON November 12, 2002 In Memory of Our Wife, Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother Sad are the hearts that love you, Silent the tears that fall, Living our lives without you, Is the hardest part of all.

You did so many things for us, Your heart always kind and true, And when we needed someone, We could always count on you.

The special years will not return, When we were all together, But with the love within our hearts You will walk with us forever.

- Missed and loved dearly by your husband Art and girls.

John’s memory will be forever cherished by his wife, Linda; daughter, Jamie (Clark) McClelland and two grandsons, Landon and Logan of Estevan, SK; sisters in law, Elsie Len and Carol Kunysh; brother in law, Nelson Feader as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

John was predeceased by his infant son, Shawn; parents, Andrew and Nellie Len; Linda’s parents, Frank and Mary Dixon; brother, Ches Len; infant sister, Irene; sisters in law, Irene Feader and Shirley Hudye and brothers in law, Gerald Hudye, Gary Kunysh and Alvin Dixon.

John was born in Fone Hill, SK to Andrew and Nellie Len on July 18, 1941. He and his parents, along with his older brother, Ches, lived on a farm in the Fone Hill District just west of Yorkton, SK. He attended school in the area and upon graduation went to work for Morris Rod Weeder as a parts man.

On November 25, 1961, John and Linda were married in Yorkton and lived there until 1963 at which time they moved to Estevan. Over the years John worked at Boundary Dam in the First Aid/ Safety Division and was a member of the Estevan City Police Department for approximately 20 years, ending his career as a sergeant with the force. It was at this time he changed his career path and became the Park Superintendent at Woodlawn Regional Park for a number of years.

Always having a keen interest in politics and working with the public, John decided to run for City Council as an Alderman. He was successful and held this position for 2 terms from 1988-1994. In 1994, he was elected as Mayor and served another 2 terms.

Over the years John has received awards and recognition for his accomplishments. Most recently, he received the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for his contribution and distinguished service to his fellow Canadians, his province and his community.

Throughout his years John enjoyed golfing, camping, hunting, fishing and attending shooting competitions. Spending time with his family, along with his dog, Sammy, gave him great joy. John’s sense of humor was second to none. He was a master at telling stories and jokes and had a heart of gold. He will be forever missed.

At John’s request, a Private Family Graveside Service was held on Monday, November 2, 2015 at the Souris Valley Memorial Gardens, Estevan, Sk. John’s family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to Dr. A. Christie, the nursing staff at St. Joseph’s Hospital and to the Estevan Regional Nursing Home for the excellent care given to John.

An extra special Thank you to the staff at Estevan Home Care for their compassion and never ending commitment to John over the past years. Your kindness will never be forgotten.

The family would also like to thank everyone for the cards, flowers, donations, food and visits to honor John’s memory.

For those so wishing, memorial donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Saskatchewan, 1738 Quebec Ave Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7K 1V9.

On line condolences may be left at www.hallfuneralservices.ca Funeral arrangements entrusted to Hall Funeral Services Estevan, SK.

Rock Solid Landscaping has been placing pavement stones on the boulevards, and completing other tasks associated with the project. Most of the work on the medians is slated to happen this fall. Grass will be seeded next year.
