Estevan will have a race for mayor in 2012.

Two-term Councillor Lynn Chipley announced Monday that her desire to make Estevan a better city has prompted her to launch a run for mayor in the Oct. 24 municipal election. Chipley joins fellow Councillor Roy Ludwig as the only two candidates to announce their intentions to replace outgoing Mayor Gary St. Onge thus far. The deadline to file nomiation papers is Sept. 19.

The owner of Century 21 Border Real Estate, Chipley said she truly believes in Estevan but feels the city is continuing to sell itself short. “We have absolutely everything going for us,� she said. “We are the envy of every other jurisdiction of this country, we have the best economic climate we

much done as we should to improve our city.�

As a realtor, Chipley

said she speaks with a lot of families and admitted that she still has a difficult time convincing them to move to Estevan. She feels there are steps that can be taken to change that attitude but they must happen soon. “What we do now and what we do over the next five years is absolutely going to decide where we are in five to 10 years because if all of those people, once this little boom is over, pack up their bags and go back to the Maritimes, back to Ontario and back to B.C. because we didn’t get to create the kind of environment that made them feel at home and want to call this home, then we have not done our job,�

Chipley said. “All we have done is put some money in a lot of people’s pockets, but we haven’t built our community

and enriched our community and that is why I am running for mayor, because I really believe we need to do some serious planning with all of the stakeholders, the chamber, the arts people, the sports people.�

Chipley said much of the focus in Estevan has been on the city’s infrastructure and although she believes that is a major issue, she feels the overall issues are much broader in scope. “Yes, the roads are critical, green spaces are critical, I hear that all the time,â€? Chipley said. “What (Councillor Chris Istace) had said about really feeling a positive attitude and saying ‘we love this city’, that’s why we’re here and yet we are a little bit embarrassed. We’re a little embarrassed by the roads, we’re ⇢ Another A2

WEATHER & INDEX

by Chad Saxon of The Mercury A plan to reclaim Woodlawn Regional Park from the ravages of the floods of 2011 has been set.

Woodlawn’s board has created a tentative and comprehensive plan that includes rebuilding the main camping area and creating 70 new sites on the land that once housed the local chuckwagon track. Work on the massive reclamation project is scheduled to begin in the fall, with

an eye towards being ready for the 2013 season.

Woodlawn manager Nathan Puffalt said the plan has been in the works for the past few months and he feels they have come up with a solution that makes the best of a bad situation. “Since the season started, we have been in and out of the main area looking at the best possible solution to fixing up the sites and creating sites that campers nowadays can get into,� he said.

“It’s been a long working process, but we wanted to make sure we got it right before we went in there and started getting the work done.�

Puffalt said when creating the plan, specifically the design for the main campground area, they had to work around the landscape changes created by last year’s flood. Roughly 40 sites were lost when the raging river swallowed up a section of the park. As well, when the water finally receded, a massive pile of silt was left behind which created additional

challenges. “There was 10 feet of silt in some areas that had to levelled off, but it ended up being almost a blessing because we were able to reclaim some areas you normally wouldn’t be able to camp in.�

Although they lost a large piece of land, Puffalt said their plan still calls for 90 sites in that area. “They will have water and electricity in 2013 and as we go ahead we will slowly ⇢ Campground A2

Campground to open in 2013 ⇠A1 bring sewer in,� he said. “There will be 20 to 40 tent sites which will have water and electricity as well, kind of every five or so tent sites, there will be a pedestal where people can plug into it.�

When designing the layout of the campground Puffalt said they went with bigger sites to accommodate large campers and leave people with enough room to still enjoy their area. “The new sites, we have designed them at 30 feet by 80 feet. Plenty of room to get their awning out, have a picnic table, a firepit area and they’ll be able to get some cars parked in there too. We also wanted to have a large tenting area and use the corners as group site areas.�

In addition to the sites in the original campground area, the plan calls for the creation of 70 new sites on the old chuckwagon track, a move that has been bandied about for years but became a necessity due to the flooding. Puffalt said they will also be larger sites to allow for larger, fifth-wheel style campers.

Other new features include the addition of up to 10 lots for cabins; walking trails and a bird sanctuary in the area behind Cossette Park, the soccer field, a group use area and picnic

Obviously tackling a project of this magnitude requires a significant amount of work and money.

Puffalt said they have been helped along by the fact that most of the buildings in the campground are salvageable. The only one currently in question is the concession. “But all the electrical was completely destroyed,� he added. “We are going to be putting in new waterlines. The pedestals in case, god forbid, a flood happens again, they are quite

going to be some tree loss.

But with the plan we have come up with, it’s going to be minimal. Woodlawn is known for its trees.�

As for a cost, Puffalt said Woodlawn received

It’s just going to take a lot of work and it can’t just be work by city hall, it has to be work by all of the constituents in this area, by the residents, by the business community.�

Chipley said she had considered walking away after serving six years on council, but her goal since entering municipal politics was to leave Estevan a better place than when she started and feels that job isn’t quite complete. “I want to see a bigger palette,� she said. “One of my other friends, he’s not from here and he’s leaving here, said ‘it’s sort of like you took a paintbrush and went whoosh.’ So you’ve got a splash here and a splash there, but no one can really tell what the whole picture is supposed to look like because nobody has

drawn up that plan. I may not see the plan all the way through to the end but I want to make sure that plan is in place and going forward.�

Chipley said the theme of her campaign is to make Estevan a vibrant, safe and connected community. She feels the city is already rather vibrant and has a lot of positive things going for it which will be enhanced if people continue on the same path. “Safe ‌ we have to just convince people to drive responsibly, espe-

cially in light of our nonconnectedness. We still have too many places where people are walking and it’s just not safe for them to walk. “We have to get our city connected. We have so many new people and to me that doesn’t say welcome to our city, to have a city with so many people on foot and not to be providing safe passage.�

Chipley admitted that accomplishing the goals she has in mind will require a massive commitment from the community and said if

With just one week left to file nomination papers, the race for Estevan city council is slowly beginning to heat up.

As of Monday evening, five people had filed their papers with city clerk Judy Pilloud. The latest to announce his candidacy is incumbent Councillor Brian Johnson who informed the public during the inquiries portion of Monday’s council meeting that he would be running

for a fourth term. “I have worked as a city councillor for a number of years, I like what I am involved in growing the community,� Johnson said when asked why he decided to seek another term on council. “Looking back, it is also very rewarding having played a part in the many projects that we have done and completed and seen happen here in the city of Estevan has been fulfilling.�

they are not willing to take that step, they should not vote for her. “It will be a lot of work, it will be a lot of money spent and it will be pounding on doors of businesses and asking them to get on board and help us. There has to be a will in the community to make that happen.

a $2.4 million settlement from the Provincial Disaster Assistance Plan. He said that is well below what they were hoping to get and will be stretched thin as the work is carried out. “We could have used a lot more, but I guess that is the story everywhere,� he said.

The sites in the main camping area will be ready for 2013, Puffalt said, and work on the sites on the chuckwagon track will begin next year and as they are ready, they will be rented out to campers.

Puffalt said work is also continuing on reclaiming both Rotary Hall and Doug Third Hall and he expects them to be ready for 2013 as well. “Both buildings were completely salvageable, we just have to completely strip them and sanitize them. A new kitchen facility will be added to Doug Third Hall and a kitchen will be put back into Rotary Hall.

Johnson said the theme of his campaign is roads and that will remain at the top of his agenda if he’s re-elected. He also said ROADS is an acronym for the issues he is concerned about with respect to the city as whole. “We talked about it enough here tonight with contracts going out for pavement and the price of infrastructure towards roads and repairing roads,� he said. “An orderly and organized city is another brand, if you want to call it that, to put your focus on the city. Accountability, working with the administration is the A in ROADS, development is the D and last is the safety of community and also the services that the city can afford, keeping that paramount.�

Johnson is the third member of the current council to file his papers for re-election, joining Dennis Moore and Chris Istace. Councillor Rodney Beatty has also announced he plans to run again but as of Monday had yet to file his papers.

Joining the current members in the race are former councillor Lori Carr who served one term but was not re-elected in the last municipal vote and Cameron Robock who has run unsuccessfully in the past.

Fire and rescue truck’s versatility put to the test

By Norm Park of The Mercury It will be the king of the firefighting and rescue fleet for sure and although the price tag is $1.3 million, its versatility will make it a cost-effective piece of equipment.

That’s the word coming down from the recent first-day training session that Estevan Fire Rescue Service personnel participated in at the parking lot in front of the Souris Valley Aquatic and Leisure Centre last Wednesday.

The T-rex aerial fire truck, built on a Rosenbauer chassis in Minnesota, will be dispatched quite regularly while one of the older pumper trucks will be semiretired, said deputy Chief Dale Feser.

Better protection services is what it’s all about since the new truck has aerial capacity to take fire and rescue personnel up as high as nine storeys if necessary.

Gaining good heights in rapid fashion as opposed to the time-consuming and physically exhausting tasks of climbing ladders is the first and most obvious advantage. Being able to attack a fire at a better angle is also an obvious attraction for those fighting fires, said Chief Ron Tocker. The same goes for water rescues.

The highly computerized unit can be stabilized quickly under nearly any condition including steep grades, and will cover nearly

all contingencies including deployment for underground or over water rescues.

The aerial hooks have the strength to allow the lift of two cars at the same time, right up and out of a tight area, or removal of a wall, in one fell swoop.

While the operating costs go up, the savings on insurance and increased efficiencies will more than make up for any perceived losses, say those who are intimately involved in the truck’s deployment. “It will take about a month to train everyone on this,� said Tocker, noting that the Fire Rescue Service currently has 31 volunteers available to answer the calls for assistance in either fighting fires or performing rescues.

The articulating aerial bucket is launched using up to six people at a time, including the personnel in the bucket itself. “The articulating boom allows us to deploy it well above or below grade,� said Feser. “It registers wind speeds and weather conditions and has manual override if needed. It has ground and bucket sensors to detect obstructions and because the ladder doesn’t have to swing wide before it moves up, it can be used in congested areas,� Feser added.

The truck’s automatic storage and bed section means the truck will fit nicely into the Estevan Fire Rescue station.

“We can use it close to buildings. We can respond accordingly if the fire we’re fighting gets too intense; there is a hose connection right at the top of the bucket.

We can work it out over water or 18 to 30 feet below grade if need be,� Feser said.

At its highest elevation the aerial bucket can be raised to 115 feet. “It’s important to get everyone trained and up-tospeed on this unit. It will be the second pumper unit out on a first response call,� said Tocker, explaining how the deployment of trucks and personnel is handled for each emergency call.

While a core unit of eight fire and rescue volunteers took turns learning how to stabilize and deploy various key elements on the new unit, Estevan Councillor Dennis Moore was prepped for a big lift into the skies along with training officer Carey Feduniw of Rocky Mountain Phoenix, the contractors for the job of training the local personnel.

After he was outfitted with a big safety belt, Moore was lifted into the skies by local fire rescue volunteer Travis Oliver.

On the second day of training, T-rex was taken to Trinity Tower, one of the highest buildings in the city at eight storeys where more aerial training was completed including a trip to the nether, regions by Mercury co-editor Chad Saxon who enjoyed the view of Estevan from a new vantage point.

Estevan Fire Rescue Services Chief Ron Tocker explains the versatility of the new T-rex aerial pumper unit to Councillor Dennis Moore who attended the first day of training sessions to observe.

Estevan Councilllor Dennis Moore took a high ride with aerial truck trainer Carey Feduniw.

Estevan Mercury

Breakfast program still has room to grow Hillcrest School’s breakfast program has become a point of pride for the school in the past year. With another big donation coming in last week, the school has even bigger ambitions for the project that has grown from humble roots.

On Sept. 7, the students gathered in the gymnasium before hitting the streets, as they walked for their breakfast to mark the beginning of the year’s morning meal program. It was in the gymnasium that the announcement was made of a $5,000 donation for the program by the Mosaic Extreme School Makeover through Breakfast for Learning. Hillcrest was one of two schools to receive the funding, the second one being W.J. Berezowsky School in Prince Albert.

Joining the students on the walk were members of city council, the Minister of Education Russ Marchuk, Breakfast for Learning member Donna Ziegler and members of both the Southeast Cornerstone School Division and United Way Estevan.

The money will go towards the school’s daily breakfast program that is accessed by about 70 per cent of their students. Principal Kathy Fowler said they will also be looking at implementing some further initiatives to go hand-in-hand with the breakfast program. “We have a vision to try to add in some new programs,� she said. “One of the things we’re seriously looking at is a gardening program in our school that will engage our students in growing those healthy foods and then of course, hopefully consuming

those healthy foods.�

Implementing the actual garden on school grounds will be a lengthy process, Fowler said, adding that it will likely be more than a year before the vegetables begin to grow. “It will require making adaptations to our schoolyard.

We currently don’t have a place that would grow vegetables,� Fowler said. “We’ve got a bigger picture planned to map out a new vision for how we’re going to use our schoolyard in a way that is environmentally healthy and promotes students’ understanding of the need to eat healthfully everyday.�

Sara Pippus is the school community co-ordinator, and with that post, she has a big role in what is happening with the breakfast program.

She touts the improvements teachers have seen in students’ behaviour and attention levels since the breakfast program was implemented. “When we first started, we had a lot of people say, ‘you’re going to lose time at the start of class time because the kids are allowed to come back to class and finish (their food),’� said Pippus. “We had people ask us about the loss of time, but what we found is the time we are gaining right around 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock, when breakfast makes the biggest difference in a child’s body, is gained back. We gain back about two hours of time every day.�

A typical breakfast includes whole-wheat toast, fresh fruit, cereals, some kind of protein and beverage, either milk or fruit juice. “We make sure they get

+HQU\ 6WUHHW

a well-rounded breakfast,�

Pippus said.

There are also a number of hot breakfasts throughout the year, and they also provide some hot lunches for students who require them. “It means that our kids are benefiting throughout the day. The loss of time during the day when they don’t eat breakfast is incredible.�

Pippus wasn’t always a

believer of the benefits of a good breakfast. She told her children to make sure they had something to eat, but didn’t really appreciate the importance of the meal. “When I came here, I realized just what a difference it made during the day in class time. It really, really makes a big difference. Breakfast is incredible the way it changes the way kids feel about them-

selves. Everybody is on an equal playing field. Everybody gets the same thing in the morning. Everybody starts the same when they come here.�

In order to apply for the Mosaic grant, the school had to make a formal application, which included outlining not just that they were in need, but also that they were prepared to put in the hard work.

“What we needed to put into the grant application was a demonstration of need,� said Fowler, “but more importantly, we needed to let them know some of the things we’re doing with the money and how we would use it in our school to support students in their learning. It was visionary in a lot of ways, but also built on a lot of the programs that we have.�

Hillcrest School students marched through the neighbourhood on Sept. 7, for their Walk to Breakfast campaign. The walk featured teachers, parents, city council members and others and marked the start of the school’s daily breakfast program.

Conservation officer is temporarily a lone wolf in local region There is help on the way, but not immediately.

That’s the word received by Estevan’s lone conservation officer, Ryan Krienke, regarding the conservation officer status in the local region.

Krienke finds himself as the lone officer on call these days following the departure of senior officer Mick Bakke who accepted a transfer to the Assiniboia region.

Krienke, who is now the senior and lone conservation officer, said he’ll be relying on the general pub-

lic, and the hunters and fishers in particular, to help him maintain a steady profile of law enforcement as it relates to wildlife, environment and conservation matters. “I have been told that a newly certified conservation officer, Kyle Hanson, will be coming here, but he’s not expected until January of next year,� said Krienke who has been on the job in the Estevan region for the past six years. “He’s in Hinton, Alberta right now completing his additional necessary courses and that will take him up

to the end of December,�

Krienke said.

Hanson will be required to pass all the certification requirements prior to his posting. “It could be a tough fall.

The hunting season is on us now, so I’m on call and I’ll maintain the local profile the best I can. In the meantime, those who can help turn in poachers or help in any other way, just by being compliant with the rules and regulations, it will be appreciated,� he said.

For certain matters that require enforcement, Krien-

ke or others can call on other law enforcement agencies or officers to assist.

The provincial TIP line (turn in poachers) is 1-800667-7561. “I believe Kyle is originally from the Strasbourg area, his wife Kayla is a teacher and she’s finishing up a teaching contract in Humboldt right now so they won’t be able to begin their move to Estevan right away.

I expect they’ll be moving to Estevan in January. They’ll be seeking accommodations and all that goes with that process,� said Krienke.

A6 EDITORIAL

Fresh income sources There have been discussions held recently among business organizations such as the chambers of commerce, mayors, councillors and provincial administrators regarding the pros and cons of providing communities the opportunity to establish a small additional tax to enable them to complete more infrastructure work in a timely manner.

The city-invoked taxes, of one per cent for instance, could be applied to all retail sales right at the counter. In some communities south of the border, where they are allowed to add these local taxes, the additional money often comes from the hospitality industry, meaning a one per cent tax on all hotel, motel and bed and breakfast rooms. This kind of tax usually gets a green light from local residents since it is usually applied to visitors to their city or town ... not the local population, much like a toll or user fee is paid for the use of a highway or bridge.

With cities such as Estevan crying out for more funds to address growing needs for roads, sewers, waterlines, sidewalks, drainage systems, parks and street lights ... the local tax idea is perhaps one whose time has come.

If such a tax were allowed, there would have to be restrictions in place to make certain there would be no abuses of the privilege.

Estevan and the RM of Estevan have already added a fraction of a mill to property taxes to accommodate our growing health-care professional needs, which leads us to the negative aspect of such a concept.

By implementing a local tax, would we simply be letting our provincial and federal governments off the hook? Why give them more leeway to spend our money recklessly? They can’t do the job with the money we’ve given them so far without going deeper in debt, so why give them another out?

We have a difficult enough time getting them to return our money now to help us build nursing homes, arenas, highways and lagoon systems.

What would they do if they knew Estevan and other cities had the ability to re-tax the taxpayers?

On the positive side, a local taxation system on retail or hospitality industries would provide communities with more flexibility and allow us to move necessary projects along at a faster clip.

With the history we have of taxpayers watching over city halls like vultures, we wouldn’t expect a whole lot of abuse of the additional income, but we could expect a whole lot of debate over what to spend it on. But then, that is why we elect city councillors and a mayor.

As it stands now, a rapidly growing Saskatchewan is also rapidly falling behind in necessary portfolios such as health, highways and education.

Something needs to be done.

Any business person can tell the politicians that rapid growth can be just as deadly to a business as lack of growth and right about now, Saskatchewan is heading down that path. Our growth is outpacing our provincial government’s ability to accommodate it. Look at our highways as exhibit No. 1 We’ve seen a sad situation already unfold on the local scene with our feckless response to the need for affordable housing. We’re four years behind on the housing front and by the time we catch up, there will be a new need that will be lacking in attention because we’ve spent our resources trying to house a population that may, or may not, still be here.

If we can’t sustain and stabilize while growing ... then we’re in trouble.

Those who arrive in our city and can’t find housing at a reasonable price will simply quit coming, then what?

A local tax might provide the opportunity for Estevan to be pro-active rather than continually finding ourselves in a reactive mode.

Prairie Perspective MURRAY MANDRYK Murray Mandryk is a political columnist with the Leader Post

Next NDP leader will face rural struggles If it were simply a matter of where a political party leader was from, election results would be a lot different, wouldn’t they?

Take the 2011 Saskatchewan provincial election in which the NDP were wiped off the map in rural Saskatchewan.

Then NDP leader Dwain Lingenfelter (a Shaunavon area farm boy who worked extensively in the oil sector after his first 20-year stint in politics) should have been able to relate to rural Saskatchewan as well or better than Saskatchewan Party leader Brad Wall.

Having grown up in Swift Current and as the son of a small businessman, Wall certainly had his own rural pedigree.

But shouldn’t Dwain Lingenfelter have been able to relate to rural Saskatchewan at least as well as Brad Wall?

Of course, it doesn’t work that way and anyone with even SERVING CANADA’S SUNSHINE CAPITAL

Not reaching out to the rest of the world Saskatchewan is evolving and I have a sneaking suspicion the rest of Canada ... nay, the rest of the world really doesn’t know what to do about it. They don’t know what to think about Saskatchewan once they find it on the map. They know we’re humming. but really don’t know how we’re doing it.

To begin with, there is no real head office mentality in Saskatchewan. Oh sure, Bradley made the potash companies set some up in Saskatoon, but that’s about it. They didn’t like it, but if you’re gonna make billions of dollars in Saskatchewan, you might want to be here once in awhile.

Viterra moved out and the rest of the supposed head offices are actually Crown corporations or provincial co-operatives. For that reason alone, those top dawgs have to settle here.

Having no head office mentality can be a good thing though.

Major oil companies pretty well ignore us from a head office perspective. Heck, even the nonmajor oil companies like to give us short shrift until we remind them where they make all their millions.

So they all appear on occasion to dribble a few million back at us, and we smile and say thank you and ask them to go away again until we call.

Grain companies also like to ignore us. They know better, but can’t help it. They must follow the pack. We have this farming thing pretty well down pat now. But no head offices. We only grow the stuff here.

Airlines prefer not to have to deal with Saskatchewan. We just

Norm Park All Things Considered awkward up their tidy schedules.

And besides that, we don’t change our time zones every six months.

What’s with that? Just another goofy Saskatchewan thing. Send the junk planes in and get out as quick as you can.

The train people have been ignoring Saskatchewan since 1890.

Once they got the track laid through here in four days, they pretty well disappeared from the radar except when they stop long enough to pick up some wheat ... and now some oil to ship somewhere else. Pick up people? Forgedaboudit.

Bus lines don’t think much of us either, that’s why we have our own Crown bus business.

Financial institutions like us, but not enough to invest much effort in terms of bright lights, bright minds or big buildings. We’re the farm system for them.

When it comes to manufacturing, well, the big dawgs are trying to figure us out too. You see, the aforementioned farmers know how to build things. We have all kinds of inventive, clever manufacturing going on here for short-line equipment. But no major players on the roster. The big stuff has to be built somewhere else. A steel mill? Ya godda be kiddin’. You mean they have one?

But it’s not just business and industry that doesn’t quite understand

the most rudimentary understanding of Saskatchewan politics knows why.

It has to do with the 30-plus year history of NDP government policies that were unpopular in rural Saskatchewan. In fact, not since the late the 1970s under Allan Blakeney have the NDP consistently won rural seats.

Yes, there was that brief period in the early 1990s when rural voters, frustrated with the incompetence and later-discovered corruption of the Grant Devine Progressive Conservatives, turned to Roy Romanow’s NDP like everyone else in the province. But the success of Romanow - who was as urban in nature as any political leader Saskatchewan ever had - was fleeting at best.

In fact, it was the policies and choices of both the Blakeney and Romanow governments (Crown-owned resource companies, rural hospital closures, etc.) that drove rural voters away from the NDP. More free market oriented by nature, the rural Saskatchewan’s philosophical departure with the NDP has been decades in making.

And while Lorne Calvert (a Moose Jaw boy only slightly more rooted to the rural mindset than Blakeney and Romanow) did somehow manage to win an election relying only on the city vote, Lingenfelter had no such chance.

Even if Lingenfelter hadn’t abandoned his rural seat for the safety of inner city Regina two decades earlier, it would still have been impossible for him to make inroads back into rural Saskatchewan. (And talking about hammering potash and oil companies with higher royalties was not helpful.)

Yet here we are in another NDP leadership race and we

Saskatchewan, neither does the rest of Canada. They are bemused by our recent ascent to the top of the Confederation heap. They keep telling us that we can’t be serious and we keep telling them to keep dreaming.

Alberta and Manitoba are jealous. Alberta hit the overcooked line a few years ago and Manitoba hasn’t figured out what to do outside of Winnipeg for the last 80 years.

Then there is B.C. Anyone want B.C? Bids are being accepted for Canada’s wackiest province. Where does that province find its premiers?

Quebec doesn’t care what happens in Saskatchewan or anywhere else. Ontario wishes it didn’t care.

The Atlantic provinces get us, but they’re too far away to do anything about it and those airlines, buses and trains we talked about make it too difficult for us to really connect regularly.

So here we sit in our geographical glory ... basking in the sunshine of success, wondering what we should do next, after we’ve built that stadium in Regina.

Somehow I kinda wish the rest of them don’t catch on to what’s happening. It’s sorta neat that we’re doing this on our own agenda.

A little recognition from Ottawa would be nice ... but we don’t want too much because then they’d be unleashing their crazies on us, and we might not take too kindly to their intervention style.

So hey, what say we just sorta keep muddling along here with our 1.1 million people, creating waves on all fronts but not making a lot of noise. And if you don’t get it, then we’ll Corner Gas ya until ya do.

again see the NDP desperately trying to revive its rural roots that have long ago died.

Upon unveiling the 14 regional forum debates between next month and the March 9 NDP leadership vote, party organizers proudly announced nine of those forums would be outside Regina, Saskatoon, Moose Jaw and Prince Albert.

(Those NDP forums include: Humboldt, Nov. 22; Swift Current, Nov. 29; Melfort, Dec. 1; Rosetown, Jan. 12; Weyburn, Jan. 19; North Battleford, Jan. 24; and Yorkton, Jan. 31.)

It is a nice gesture, but it will surely take more than a few lip-service leadership debates in rural Saskatchewan - debates, aimed at the dwindling numbers of already committed NDP members, anyway - to win back the hearts and votes of rural voters.

For starters, the rumoured candidates in the NDP leadership like Cam Broten and Ryan Meili (Saskatoon)and Erin Weir and Trent Wotherspoon (Regina) all are based in the larger urban centres. (Although some of these candidates, like most everyone else from this province, do have some rural roots.)

Again, where you are from isn’t always the most critical issue in relating to rural voters. But not much of what we are hearing from today’s NDP is piquing the interests of rural voters.

And the cold, hard reality of this is whoever assumes the NDP leadership will inherit this 30-plus-year legacy of Saskatchewan New Democrats not being in tune with the rural vote.

So far, there is little indication that this will change any time soon.

Letters to the Editor Gov’t putting children’s health at greater risk The Editor: Member of Parliament Ed Komarnicki and the Conservative Party are putting our children’s health at risk through their irresponsible attitude to trans fats in our foods.

Trans fats increase the risk of heart disease and are estimated to be responsible for thousands of cardiac deaths annually in Canada.

Unlike salt or sugars used in appropriate amounts, there are absolutely no health benefits to processed trans fats, but they cause considerable harm.

The Conservative government used to recognize these risks: back in 2007 it called for the food industry to voluntarily limit the trans

Canada Post shuts door on the Korean War The Editor: (The following is an open letter to Canada Post and Prime Minster Stephen Harper.)

I have written to this newspaper, along with a few others, in order to make my plea public, and perhaps convince you (Canada Post) to reconsider your decision to say no to our veterans and it may move our prime minister to help.

I am unofficially writing on behalf of all Korean War veterans and for those 516 brave Canadian men that died during the war.

Those buried on the Korean peninsula remain silent but they are not forgotten by me, their comrades, families and many others.

Canada Post represents all of Canada and the stamps produced each year play an important part in portraying Canadian life and history. Since the end of the War in 1953, only a single, Canadian Korean War themed postage stamp has been made and you refuse to make another.

The war lasted three long years, and tragically saw the death of several million soldiers and civilians from both sides of the front line. This world historical event involved many allied countries who fought for the first time under the United Nations banner and with a just cause, to stop a war. I ask you both now, the corporation and prime minister, why will Canada Post not honour our veterans who succeeded in winning the greatest prize - peace.

Next year is the 60th anniversary of the Korean War ceasefire, and before it is too late when our veterans have all passed on, please reconsider your decision NOT to recognize this important historical event with a lasting national honour, a commemorative postage stamp.

Guy Black Recipient, Minister of Veterans Affairs Commendation Port Moody, B.C.

fat content of vegetable oils and soft spreadable margarines to two per cent of the total fat content and to five per cent for all other foods.

They promised to regulate the industry if these limits were not met in two years.

That two-year limit expired in 2009. Not only have the Conservatives reneged on their plan to impose regulations to protect Canadians and their children from trans fats, they are also cancelling the trans fat monitoring program!

This is completely wrong-headed. As Sir Michael Marmot, former president of the British Medical Association, puts it, “you don’t tell people to drink clean water - you provide clean water ... you don’t tell people to avoid trans fats - you get it out of the food supply.”

Trans fats must be removed from the food system. Canadians should be able to trust that the foods they and their children eat will be healthy and not cause harm. This will not only improve health, it will also relieve the strain on our medicare system, saving taxpayers as much as $9 billion on health care over the next two decades.

The Liberal Party is committed to ensuring tough new regulations to restrict trans fats in our foodsa position Mr. Komarnicki and the Conservatives once held. It is time to call them on that broken promise.

Yours sincerely, Dr. Hedy Fry, MP - Health Critic, Liberal Party of Canada

Two more vandals step up to issue public apologies Editor’s note: Following the publication of a letter of apology to the public from a young offender who had been involved in a spray-painting vandalism event at St. Mary’s and Spruce Ridge Schools, two other young offenders have stepped up with letters of their own which they requested be added for public consumption since they, too, wanted to express their regrets in their own words.

Since the young offenders cannot be identified, The Mercury has once again had their letters of apology authenticated by alternative measures cocordinator Calista Spencer who assured us that these letters were written and submitted by two others who had been involved in the graffiti incident. We reprint them as presented with only minor editing.

Apology: I’m very sorry for what my friends and I did on the night of April 1. What we did was spray paint on St. Mary’s and Spruce Ridge Schools.

I am sorry and I still regret it to this day. It was a foolish act of stupidity. This affects the whole community. I regret this because I had to pay a fine and do a lot of chores at home.

This was stupid because it made the community look bad. This affects the community because the school had to pay to get the paint off so kids couldn’t learn the bad slang.

I hope the community accepts my apology.

Apology: On the night of April 1, I was spray painting two

schools along with five other friends. We were apprehended at Spruce Ridge School and charged with mischief.

I feel bad for what I have done. My actions have not only affected myself but my family, the schools and the students by putting stress on my family and having the schools have to clean the walls and pay to have it cleaned, also showing kids inappropriate words and slang.

I am truly sorry for my actions and I apologize to my community for making it look bad.

I had to pay a fine of $740 for the schools. My parents gave me a bunch of chores to do as well.

I have learnt that doing things such as this puts a lot of stress on my parents and causes a lot of problems to the schools with cleaning.

Hunt to focus on youth in Philippines An Estevan woman is moving half way around the world to help impoverished children find a better future.

Tareina Hunt will be spending six months in the Philippines where she will join up with Young Focus, an organization that works with children from poverty stricken families in the southeast Asian country.

Hunt said she came to the idea of volunteering in the Philippines through her friends, former Estevan residents Tracey and Jonathan Heppner. The son of missionaries who operate an orphanage just outside of the capital city Manila, Jonathan spent a number of years in the Philippines as a youth and the family moved back to the country over a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was talking to Tracey and Jonathan; I love to travel and I wanted to sort of give back and this seemed like the perfect opportunity given what I do for a living,â&#x20AC;? said Hunt who is the owner/operator of Nut-Nae Art Websites and Graphics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure where I wanted to go and I was looking into a few different options, but because Jonathan and Tracey are there, it

gives me a head start to know someone where I am going.â&#x20AC;?

Although she admits the whole adventure is a bit overwhelming, Hunt said she is looking forward to the trip, noting that the need for volunteers in the Philippines is huge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be one of those people who says â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be 100 per cent prepared,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been to Asia before and I have been to Third World countries before, but I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lived there. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried to educate myself through reading about the country and watching as many videos as I can as far as seeing what exactly is going on and where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be needed to help.â&#x20AC;?

Founded in 1992 in Holland, Young Focus takes a somewhat different approach to assisting children as they work with them directly in their own environment such as the Manila slum area Smoky Mountain which is a massive garbage dump. Hunt said thousands of families live on or around the dump and make a living from scavenging recyclable items from the garbage or from making charcoal from collected pieces of wood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They build little huts

$

!# " !"

there and they rummage through the garbage to find things to eat or plastic to recycle. So what (Young Focus) does is, they try to find kids from that area and give them sponsorship to be able to go to school and they also teach programs and classes at their facility in order to help bring children up to speed if they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been to school when they are younger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They help young adults learn skills to start a business and they help malnourished babies.â&#x20AC;?

Aside from the programs Young Focus offers, the group also has a student centre which has computers for students to do their schoolwork and for private use as well as staff to assist the children. There are also educational programs and rooms for English and math tutorials; workshops on relevant subjects; career planning, a library and recreational areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some families in the Philippines, they just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see education as important a lot of times because their parents arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t educated.

Sometimes kids will go to

school for a couple of years and then theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to work at as young as six or sevenyears-old and drop out of school, so Young Focus will take them and get them back up to speed and then try to get them back into education programs and in school.â&#x20AC;?

In speaking with the director of Young Focus, Hunt has learned sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to help out in whatever area she chooses. However she hopes

to see all of what Young Focus has to offer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of it is going to be figured out when I get there,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in touch with Paul, the director, quite a few times and between figuring out exactly what my day-to-day schedule is going to be and where I am going to live, all those things will be decided once I get there.â&#x20AC;?

Prior to her departure, Hunt set a goal of finding 10

sponsors to support Young Focusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; education program and accomplished that goal in a short period of time.

Anyone interested in assisting the organization can do so by going to http://www. youngfocus.org/whatcanudo-sponsor.html.

Hunt also has a blog that she will be updating while she is in the Philippines. It can be found at tareinahunt. blogspot.ca.

University Women Clubs mark special day this Friday Friday, Sept. 14 has been declared Canadian Federation of University Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day in Saskatchewan by the provincial government.

The federation, with close to 9,000 members in 110 clubs across Canada, is one of 62 national affiliate members of the International Federation of University Women.

To acknowledge the day, the Souris Valley Museum is granting free admission to all visitors on Friday.

The CFUWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to improve the status of women and girls; work for human rights and peace.

The organization also supports educational programs and the local chapter does so by raising funds for an annual scholarship awarded to a deserving female graduate of the Estevan Comprehensive School.

Since its founding in 1919, the CFUW members have helped Canadian women pursue graduate studies through their Na-

tional Fellowships and Awards Program.

C o l l e c t i v e l y, t h e CFUW clubs award more than $1 million each year in the form of scholarships and bursaries to help women in their local communities pursue post-secondary studies.

The organization pointed out that since women still earn only 71 per cent of what men do in the traditional workforce, the cost of education is higher for females since it takes them longer to pay student loans.

In the past year CFUW members have attended the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in New York, met with Canadian MPs and participated in the Food Dialogue Project on Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rights and Food Security hosted

by Oxfam Canada. They also participated in the round table debate hosted by the Canadian Network to abolish nuclear weapons as well as other sessions involving issues pertaining to women and girls nationally and internationally.

School enrolments spiking upwards in most communities The numbers aren’t firm yet, but early indications are that official enrolment numbers in Estevan and area schools should be up slightly this year, continuing a trend that began a couple of years ago that broke a decades-long string of decreasing registration numbers in southeast Saskatchewan elementary and high schools.

“The numbers will be up across the entire system, by about 1.5 per cent,” said Marc Casavant, director of education for the South East Cornerstone Public School Division.

But those were just the early numbers and Casavant said he was reluctant to reveal all the registration figures until nearer the end of the month when the official school attendance figures are registered with the provincial government.

“We’ll be over 8,200

students,” said Casavant.

In the Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Division, the story is pretty well identical.

“We’re up by about 26 students with the early registration figures,” said their education director Shelley Rowein.

“Our total attendance is over 1,000, it’s at 1,068 right now,” she added.

“And if we add in the prekindergarten programs, it’s at 1,107.”

The two separate schools in Estevan have recorded a shift in demographics, leaving St. Mary’s School on the city’s east side with 219 students and Sacred Heart/ Sacre Coeur on the west side with 284. Sacred Heart offers the city’s only French immersion program at the elementary school level.

“We had a doubled up pre-kindergarten program at St. Mary’s last year and we needed to move one

of them to Sacred Heart this year, which means that St. Mary’s enrolment numbers will be showing them down a bit while Sacred Heart will be up,” Rowein said.

“We have more students entering school at the kindergarten levels now than we have students who are graduating from Grade 8,” Rowein added.

The change has left Sacred Heart with a temporary overcrowding situation that sees the Grade 7 and 8 French immersion class taking up residence in a corner of the school library until

Christmas. At that point, it is hoped that construction of a new portable classroom will be completed.

“We had problems with the first contractor and had to get another

company to do the work, so the project was delayed,” Rowein explained.

Hahn Construction of Estevan has now taken over the project.

Overcrowding is not yet an issue in most of the 38 facilities operated

by Cornerstone, although Spruce Ridge School is pretty well near capacity. said Casavant. There are only a few schools across their system that will be showing decreases while many report pretty stable registration situations.

“Hillcrest is stable, Pleasantdale is up a bit as is Spruce Ridge, but there is room for more at Pleasantdale. Westview will be about the same and ECS is up nicely right now, but could change by the end of the month. That’s all pretty positive,” said Casavant.

Around other communities in the southeast, the situation is similar with Carievale showing a significant increase in kin-

dergarten numbers this fall while Alameda, Carnduff, Lampman, Macoun and Oxbow are all showing stable numbers compared with last year’s early registration computations.

Besides Spruce Ridge and Pleasantdale, there will be increases at Lyndale School in Oungre, the division’s only official “school of necessity,” meaning that it cannot be closed due to geographical location and accessibility for students residing in that area of the province.

Stability in numbers is also being indicated at Fillmore’s 33 Central School and Bienfait’s Weldon School while small decreases are being recorded in Stoughton and Midale.

Specific working numbers that are used by the Ministry of Education to provide funding for each of the schools across the province aren’t recorded until the end of September.

Estevan Mercury

New program asks young women to choose life Plans for a residential program for young female victims of abuse and other issues are in the works through the Choose Life Ministry.

The local ministry was founded earlier this year by Glen Ewen resident Shelley Boyes. It will offer a home for women between 18 and 29, who are suffering from drug addiction, eating disorders or abuse to seek freedom from those life-controlling issues.

Boyes decided to found the ministry fol-

lowing some experiences with her daughters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had some tragedy in my life,â&#x20AC;? she said, noting she lost a daughter who was killed in an alcohol-related car accident. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also had two younger daughters who have struggled with drugs and alcohol. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lots of bad things that happen to people. Everybody has a story.â&#x20AC;?

Boyes said she approaches these issues through her faith, particularly referring to a line of scripture that reads, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do

not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.â&#x20AC;?

The Choose Life Ministry is now holding its inaugural red carpet gala on Sept. 21 at the Living Hope Community Church in Estevan.

Boyes said it was after the turmoil in her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives that she decided to find what positives could come of it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I was working through all of this, I tried to establish the good that could come out of this kind of tragedy,â&#x20AC;? said Boyes.

She was introduced to a home in Nashville called Mercy Ministries, which has chapters across North America and is the basis for Boyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; program.

She said the success rate for women leading productive lives coming out of that program is above 90 per cent. Boyes became a partner with the ministry, and as she got more involved, she thought it was something that could be implemented in southeast Saskatchewan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I put it on the shelf for awhile, then I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, if this is the direction Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m supposed to be going, I need some open doors.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Then everything really just kind of fell into place.â&#x20AC;?

In January, Choose Life Ministry registered as a non-profit corporation, establishing a five-person board of directors. Since that time, they have partnered with a number of people and have had 30 to 40 acres of land donated just west of the Manitoba border and north of the North Dakota borderline.

That is where the home will be built, with plans to construct a building that can house 20 women. The plans have been drawn, and they are now looking to secure funding to build the home.

Boyes noted that they will run their program entirely in-house, and the women who seek help

from Choose Life Ministry will be residents of the program for a minimum of six months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be modelled a lot after Mercy Ministries, but we do have some really good programming in our church for helping people work through addiction issues,â&#x20AC;? said Boyes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an extremely structured program.â&#x20AC;?

The women are included in house duties, and will do a little bit of cleaning and their own laundry.

They are responsible for all the things they would do if they lived in a regular home, said Boyce.

As a faith-based organization, there will be Bible study and worship sessions included in the program. There will be both individual and group counselling offered at the residence, delivered by certified counsellors, as well as a fitness component, with volleyball and soccer offered outside and a fitness room available for the winter months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of the girls that come to the home probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have finished their Grade 12, so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have an opportunity to do that, and that will be instructed by certified teachers as well. The girls who have completed their Grade 12 will have the opportunity to learn other skills.â&#x20AC;?

Boyes noted that after being there for a certain

length of time, visitors would be allowed to come see the residents.

Staff will be on-hand at the home around the clock, and Boyes said they will likely be employing interns from Bible colleges to run the day-to-day operation of the building.

Boyes said women find themselves in need of a program like this for a number of reasons, but often there are similarities in the source of the problem. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of times the root causes are the same.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s maybe a hurt or a wound that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve experienced, or maybe a loss in their lives thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s causing them (leading to the trouble).â&#x20AC;?

She said they will likely be about two years raising funds before they will be able to build the residence, and in the meantime are looking to partner with individuals who can provide small monthly donations.

The Sept. 21 fundraiser is going to be an â&#x20AC;&#x153;elegant and exquisiteâ&#x20AC;? evening, said Boyes. With a red carpet leading to the main doors, valet parking will be available for all.

The evening will include a dinner emceed by former Estevanite William Sinclair and feature comedian Matt Jernigan.

There will be a presentation on the ministry and a live auction to cap off the evening. Doors open for the Sept. 21 event at 6 p.m.

Money pledged for rinks The provincial government says it is keeping one of its election promises and arenas throughout the province will be the ones to benefit.

During the 2011 provincial election, the Sask.

Party said it would provide support for community rinks, many of which are vital hubs of year-round activity in their towns and cities.

From now until November 30, communities, non-profits, schools and rink boards can register their rinks for the $2,500 per ice surface grant which can be used to help fund operating costs and minor capital upgrades.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The government understands that rinks are the centre of activity in many communities during the winter months,â&#x20AC;? Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This grant will help ensure that our provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rinks continue to be well-operated and well-maintained. It is one of the ways our government is ensuring Saskatchewan people benefit from the opportunities generated by our growing province.â&#x20AC;?

The government is committing $1.9 million to the grant program. The Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association will administer and deliver the grant.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association is excited to be part of this grant program,â&#x20AC;?

Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association board president Darrell Lessmeister said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our organization is confident that these funds will help improve community rinks across the province. It will support opportunities for people in urban, rural and remote locations, to participate in winter sports and recreational activities.â&#x20AC;?

Ulrich launches third novel in female hockey trilogy The third, and maybe fi nal book in the female hockey trilogy penned by Lampman/Estevan author Maureen Ulrich, was revealed to the public last Wednesday evening at the Estevan Public Library.

Breakaway is the latest young adult novel that traces the trials, tribulations and adventures of a young hockey player Jess and her teammates, families and friends.

The three-novel writing adventure began before 2007 which was the publishing date for the first book in the series. That fi rst novel, Faceoff, was followed by Power Plays published in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This book is Jessieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming of age,â&#x20AC;? said Ulrich prior to reading a few excerpts from Breakaway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Power Plays dealt with team conflict and now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coping with conflict within herself in this book,â&#x20AC;? Ulrich explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jess also has to deal with her moral compass

Maureen Ulrich displaying her three young adult novels, the latest being Breakaway which was given an official launching party at the Estevan Public Library last Wednesday. The book is available at Henders Drugs and publisher Coteau has also made it available for online purchase. since sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been named team captain. So now she has to lead by example

and she learns that her parents are smarter than she thought they were. It deals with girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hockey ...

Estevan ... relationships, including her relationship with Mark.â&#x20AC;?

In writing a series such as this, Ulrich entertained her audience by listing 10 things sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learned while writing a female hockey trilogy.

Some of those lessons included the fact that it was much harder than originally anticipated when it came to keeping track of all the characters in the stories as they unfolded and â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came to hate the word puck.â&#x20AC;?

She said she also learned that a few wellplaced swear words can belong in a young adult novel and there can be too many sub-plots in a novel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the best things about writing is

hearing from a person who is not a reader, that they actually read one of my books. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a compliment,â&#x20AC;? she said.

A retired teacher, Ulrich said she can deliver messages and do things through her books that she could never do as a classroom educator.

Ulrich paid tribute to her family (Randy and daughters Robin and Blaire) for their support and to Coteau Books, her publisher who have also placed Breakaway online as an eBook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I learned from failures and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let that beat me down,â&#x20AC;? she said with a smile just before she ended the formal part of the eveningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event to socialize with those in attendance and to sign copies of the book purchased by interested fans and readers.

Now even lower prices.

Collision victims escape serious injuries A two vehicle accident north of the Estevan Comprehensive School that resulted in one vehicle rolling into a ditch fortunately did not result in any major injuries to any of the three people who were involved.

Estevan Police Service (EPS) members reported that a vehicle travelling east on a grid road during daylight hours on Thursday, Sept. 6, collided with a southbound vehicle. The impact forced the southbound vehicle toward the southeast ditch where it struck a roadside ridge and rolled.

The eastbound vehicle also spun off the road, ending up in the same ditch.

A nine-year-old passenger in the southbound vehicle was not seriously hurt, nor were the two drivers of the vehicles. All walked away from the event with only minor cuts and scrapes. They were taken to St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital for further examination before being released.

The incident remains under investigation and charges against the driver of the eastbound vehicle are pending.

During that same day shift, EPS members were called to a local business in response to a report of a disturbance that involved a person who had been dismissed from the premises the previous day.

The man had returned and

Three people were injured in a two vehicle accident just north of Estevan last week. (Photo courtesy of the Estevan Police Service) started to cause problems again, refusing to leave the property. Police spoke with the man and he was sent on his way so no further action was required.

On the night of Sept. 7, EPS members were called to the local skate park in response to a report of young people drinking beer on the site. Police did not find any alcohol in the area.

A strong odour of propane that was noted at a local convenience store resulted in the attendance of EPS members plus members of Estevan Fire Rescue Services who discovered a propane tank on the premises that was faulty and leaking. Fire Rescue Services personnel removed and then disposed of the tank.

An alleged sexual assault that occurred at a residence on the north side of the city resulted in a young woman being taken to St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital for examination while police established an investigation into the incident.

Police were next informed that two young people had been observed harassing an animal in the 1800 block of Dieppe Crescent on the night of Sept. 7. When police arrived, they discovered the animal in question was a dead rat. The young people were spoken to and sent on their way.

A domestic disturbance in the Royal Heights area of the city resulted in police attendance and the departure of one of the quarrelling par-

ties which restored the peace with no further police action required.

A fight that had broken out in the parking lot of a local convenience store resulted in police attending the scene.

When they arrived, police found a 21-year-old male on the ground. The subject was conscious, but he was transported to St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital for medical treatment and an investigation into the incident is underway.

A male driver was then stopped by police due to his erratic driving actions. The 55-year-old was arrested and charged with impaired driving. He now has an Oct. 22 court date.

The next call to police involved the sighting of a man lying on the ground near a local service station.

When police arrived, they found a 49-year-old man in an extremely intoxicated condition. He was lodged in cells until sober.

The next call to police was a 911 response call to a local hotel where a nude woman was reported running down the hall frantically screaming for help. When EPS members arrived and spoke to the woman, she

7KDQNV WR DOO ZKR SDUWLFLSDWHG

stated she did not require police assistance, adding that she had been in an argument with her boyfriend but did not wish to file a complaint or submit a report.

Police next attended to the 1500 block of Wahlmeier Drive in response to a noise complaint. When they arrived, they discovered a large party in progress so the young person who was a resident in the home was advised to have the guests leave. If they did not, a charge under the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noise bylaw could be levied against her.

The next call to police involved a case of mistaken identity.

The caller reported that while he was parked at a local fast food restaurant, a younger man got into his vehicle and started to give him directions to a nearby mobile home court. The younger man soon realized that he was talking to the wrong person, so he got out of the vehicle and fled the scene. The caller felt that perhaps the intention of the action was supposed to lead to an illegal exchange so he wanted to alert police about the activity. Police made a search for the young man but were not successful.

On Sept. 8, EPS members were informed that a vehicle had been taken without the ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consent. Police were able to locate the person who had the vehicle and it was returned to the owner.

A report of suspicious behaviour was reported to police on Sept. 8. A group of young people had been spotted hurriedly leaving the playground area of Pleasantdale School. When police arrived they discovered some cardboard had been lit on fire in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gazebo. Fire Rescue Services personnel were called to the scene to ensure the fire was extinguished

properly and the matter was placed under investigation.

Anyone with further information regarding this incident is asked to contact EPS at 634-4767.

A call from a local restaurant regarding a fight in progress resulted in police attending the scene. Two men were involved in the fracas and one was taken to hospital for examination. After he was cleared medically he was held in cells until sober.

The next stop for police was to the 300 block of Perkins Street in response to an assault. When they arrived police discovered the victim did not wish to proceed with charges against the assailant, so the matter required no further policing action.

Police next responded to a call regarding a fight at a local hotel. EPS members spoke to one of the men involved and he told them that some people in the lounge area of the hotel had been bothering his girlfriend and when he had stepped up to defend her, four men had jumped him, thus leading to the fight. The matter remains under investigation.

Three young men were stopped by police on the night of Sept. 8. The men, who were walking at the time, were found to be in possession of alcohol and so a 20-year-old was issued a ticket for having open alcohol in a public place.

On the night of Sept. 9, a young person was spotted throwing matches into a garbage bin behind the Estevan Shoppers Mall. The young person was spoken to by police who then inspected the garbage bins to ensure that no damage had been caused and no fire had been started. The youth was further warned of the potential consequences of his actions.

This was the first wave of volunteers who showed up for the TD Tree Day tree planting activities. By the time all had arrived there were more than 24 planters, including seven employees of the Estevan branch of TD Canada Trust, putting 115 trees into the ground at five different locations.

TD Tree Day in the Energy City Another 115 trees of varying descriptions were planted in strategic areas of the city on Saturday morning and afternoon thanks to the TD Bank Group and their Tree Day promotion.

Susan Colbow, who helped co-ordinate the event in Estevan, said almost two dozen volunteers, including seven TD Canada Trust employees, family and friends did the planting work while

City of Estevan personnel including Gloria Johnson, had earlier mapped out and dug the holes in which the trees would be placed.

Shelley Heidinger of Tree Canada said that Friends of the Environment program is now in its third year and this project by TD attracted 87 communities across the country with a target of planting 40,000 trees.

Colbow said she was impressed with the turnout since the event had to be planned quickly, but even with the short timeline, the local response was encouraging.

Seventy of the trees in Estevan were planted around the perimeter and near a lane at the City Cemetery while others found homes at Torgeson, Centennial and Heritage Parks.

The area around the Estevan Collegiate Institute Memorial Park also welcomed a few new seedlings.

Johnson said that Colorado blue spruce, Black Hill spruce, some willows and lilacs were planted since they showed good growth potential for late in the season and would grow even in the current dry conditions as long as they got off to a good start this fall.

Susan Colbow of TD Canada Trust Estevan and her daughter Chelsey did their part in planting over 70 new trees at the Estevan City Cemetery as part of the TD Tree Day activities.

One truck stolen, another School zone blitz a success damaged in Lampman A case of hit and run in Lampman has resulted in damages being inflicted on a truck that was parked in the 200 block of Main Street according to information released by the Estevan detachment of the RCMP. The damage occurred during the late hours of Saturday, Sept. 8 or early morning hours of Sept. 9.

The red truck was hit by

another vehicle causing damage to the rear quarter panel and tail light on the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side of the truck.

RCMP also reported that on that same evening a white Chevrolet quadcab truck that had been parked at the Lampman Legion was reported stolen. The vehicle was located at the Lampman landfill site west of Highway No. 605 on Sunday. The vehicle had

extensive damage to the front and police now believe it could have been the vehicle used to damage the other truck that had been parked on Main Street.

Anyone with information regarding these two incidents that may be related, is asked to contact the Estevan detachment at 6374400 or report anonymously through Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A province wide blitz that focused on school zones was a big success.

Operation Student Safety saw 293 tickets issued to motorists speeding in school zones over Sept.

4 and 5, the first two days of back-to-school for students across the province.

As of Sept. 7, law enforcement across the province have reported issuing a total of 345 tickets to motorists throughout the blitz, including 293 for speeding in school zones, 16 for improper or

12093DS01

non-seatbelt use, six for using handheld cellphones behind the wheel and 30 tickets for other various offences.

The purpose of the monthly traffic safety blitzes, co-ordinated by SGI and law enforcement partners, is to raise awareness of various traffic safety issues and promote safe driving habits for all Saskatchewan motorists.

Last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Operation Crossroads 2.0 resulted in 516 tickets being issued to Saskatchewan

motorists, including 216 for improper or non-seatbelt use, 51 for cellphone use while driving, 38 for disobeying red lights or stop signs and nearly 90 for speeding.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Establishing a satisfactory emissions standard we can live with is very important to this part of Saskatchewan in terms of jobs, growth and long term prosperity. In fact all of Saskatchewan will benefit from it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Ed Komarnicki MP for Souris-Moose Mountain

New regulations wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hinder Boundary Damâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clean coal project Time extension will allow for full monitoring of finished product The media release stated the federal government was moving forward with tough rules regarding greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired electrical power generating plants, but the announcement also bore information regarding a relaxing of the timeline requirements. That will come as a relief for SaskPower and others who are engaged in a $1.24 billion clean coal project at Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Boundary Dam, the results of which will have global implications.

Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Environment Minister Peter Kent made the announcement on Sept.

5 regarding final regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emission (GHG) from coal-fired plants.

The regulations ap-

ply stringent performance standards for new electricity generating units and old units such as those at Boundary Dam that have reached the end of their economic life. In the first 21 years, the regulations are expected to result in a cumulative reduction in GHG emissions of about 214 megatonnes, the equivalent to removing 2.6 million personal vehicles per year from the road.

Reducing emissions from coal-fired plants, which are responsible for 11 per cent of Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s total GHG emissions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is an important step toward meeting Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2020 target of reducing greenhouse gas to 17 per cent below 2005 levels, the government said.

The new performance

standard for coal-fired units will come into force July 1, 2015, a date that was announced in a statement made by Kent during a visit to Estevan last summer.

Ed Komarnicki, MP for Souris-Moose Mountain, applauded the decision since it took into account the concerns of the provincial government and SaskPower in relation to the clean-coal project that will see carbon dioxide captured and stored underground. The project is geared toward meeting and even exceeding the new standards, but wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to be tested and monitored until the second half of 2014.

Some of the significant changes, said Komarnicki, include changing the performance standard from 375 tonnes per gigawatt hour

to 420 tonnes per gigawatt hour, extending the end of life definition from 45 years to 50 years and allowing for due diligence to be completed with respect to the Boundary Dam Unit 3 referred to as BD3.

All of this, including the two levels of government working on a Saskatchewan equivalency agreement with Environment Canada, bodes well for the coal-fired electricity sector in southeast Saskatchewan, Komarnicki said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an MP for this constituency with three coal-fired plants, I obviously had a particular interest in this file. Establishing a satisfactory emissions standard we can live with is very important to this part of Saskatchewan in terms of jobs, growth and long-term

prosperity. In fact, all of Saskatchewan will benefit from it.â&#x20AC;?

Komarnicki had noted earlier the federal government remains committed to carbon capture and storage projects, having invested $240 million into the Boundary Dam project at the outset. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a win-win situation for everyone,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Kent denied that the regulations had been weakened, but rather it was more of a desire to find the right timeline and balance to meet the 2020 targets while not harming the recovering economy.

The additional timeline (45 to 50 years for old power plants) will allow SaskPower ample time to determine how feasible carbon capture is with coal -fired plants as well as time to roll out plans to refurbish

other older units at Boundary Dam in succeeding years.

The federal government is taking a sector-bysector approach to reducing greenhouse gases. Instead of imposing a carbon tax or developing a cap and trade market that would reward clean energy alternatives over high emissions, it is gradually imposing restrictions on emissions in each sector that emits pollutants.

Those regulations have been administered to the auto sector and renewable fuels, and now coal, which was labelled as being one of the more difficult sectors to approach.

Other sectors that still will require regulating in terms of emissions will be the oil and natural gas regimes. Those draft regulations are expected to be issued by spring of next year.

Monster musical workshop aimed at students, teachers and parents A major workshop that focuses on helping music students, their parents and music teachers overcome the Practice Monster, will be staged in Estevan on Sunday, Sept. 23 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Music teacher Anita Kuntz, who is co-ordinator for the local event, said that Estevan was able to schedule this workshop as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;add-onâ&#x20AC;? to an earlier major workshop in Regina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to get it here is pretty fortunate for us,â&#x20AC;? said Kuntz.

The workshop presented by Regal

Monster Productions will be staged at Trinity Lutheran Church, 738 Second Street in Estevan.

Paul Coates and The Monster will facilitate the musical interactive event that is all about reconnecting the musical team: the student, the parent and the teacher.

So if you are a music teacher who is frustrated with under-prepared students, a parent frustrated with your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s practice time and attention span, or a student who is bored with repeated practice and lessons, Coates probably has an answer.

The trained music motivator will provide inventive ways to make peace and suggest ways to make the practice experiences fun and that, in turn, will lead to more positive results.

Coates brings a wealth of experience to this musical adventure, and offers a variety of methods to explore with enthusiasm and well-balanced humour.

The event is about taking time to honour musical relationships by being physically, emotionally and mindfully present and by empowering one another

to acknowledge that we are all worthy to explore the language of music.

An accompanying release added that if you believe in the importance of music and the role you play in it and want to find ways of making the journey more fun and creative, then register for the Practice Monster workshop.

More information regarding the workshop costs and other details may be obtained by contacting Kuntz at 634-7980.

Registration may also be conducted online at www.monsterworkshops.com

One Holy Family trustee Fuel stolen from two not seeking re-election locations near Hitchcock Sheldon Spilchuk, the incumbent trustee representing the Spruce Ridge district for the Holy Family Separate School Division, said last week he would not be seeking re-election in the Oct. 24 general election.

Citing ongoing work commitments as the main reason for his withdrawing from the race, Spilchuk, an independent businessman who owns and operates a custom meat cutting and processing business as well as a catering company, said he needed to focus on the business.

Spilchuk was added to the Holy Family trustee roster late in the process following the 2009 general election since the first and

second call for candidates went unanswered. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until later on, in 2010, that he was persuaded to step into the role.

Spilchuk said the region he represents is rather broad and there was a time and travel commitment to consider for any trustee since most of the Holy Family board and committee meetings were held in Weyburn in the evenings.

Last week it was reported that Estevan representatives to the Holy Family board, Karen Melle and Bev Hickie were willing to run again, however Hickie said he was willing to step aside in the event there was some other serious candidate seeking the position.

Three workshop schedules released Rosemaling classes are being offered to local artists starting in October.

The Estevan Arts Council and its visual arts committee announced that on two Saturdays next month, artist Cheryl Andrist will present the classes with all supplies provided through the registration fees.

Rosemaling is a Scandinavian art style of carved or painted decorations consisting of fl oral motifs painted or carved on furniture, dinnerware or walls.

The arts council invites local artists and craftspeople to join in the fun while being able to take home a painted decoration.

For two weekends in November, Doris Sheldon, a well known and talented wood carver will present wood carving classes. Her work is displayed online at www.cottagecountrycarving.com For three Saturdays in November and into December, Darlene Martin will present her popular pottery classes to local participants. These classes will be geared toward children and teens as well as adults.

Further information regarding any or all of these classes, their starting dates, locations and registration fees may be obtained by contacting

the Estevan Arts Council office in the leisure centre at 634-3942. Brochures regarding each of these classes are also available at the office.

On the public school board side, Estevan representatives Janet Foord and Pam Currie announced a few months ago that they would be seeking reelection as trustees on the South East Cornerstone Public School Division board.

Sometime between Sunday, Sept. 2 and Tuesday, Sept. 4, diesel fuel was stolen from two different locations outside the village of Hitchcock.

The Estevan detachment of the RCMP said that approximately 500 gallons were taken from one location and about 300

gallons removed during the second theft. In both cases, the fuel was being stored in 1,000 gallon tanks.

While police continue their investigation into the thefts, they also issue an advisory to farm and industrial producers to ensure that their fuel tanks and pumps are secured on

their property to discourage any similar activities.

Anyone with information regarding either or both of these thefts is asked to contact the local detachment at 637-4400 or report what they know anonymously through Crimestoppers at 1-800222-8477.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to making a contribution to the important work the college does serving learners, employers and communities. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dion McGrath Southeast Community College CEO

A18

Southeast Regional College names new CEO The Southeast Community College has a new CEO. The collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of governors announced last week that Dion McGrath has been named president and chief executive officer.

McGrath is expected to begin work on Oct. 1.

McGrath is currently employed by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Advanced Education and has been an

executive director since 2009. In a press release, it was noted that McGrath brings 15 years of experience in the provincial government in multiple roles and combines a strong knowledge of the post-secondary school system with experience in economic development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Southeast Regional College continues to experi-

Dion McGrath

ence enrolment growth as it evolves to meet the changing needs of learners and the labour market,â&#x20AC;? said Judi Jones, acting chairwoman of the SCC board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. McGrathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knowledge, experience and collaborative style are well suited to building momentum and new partnerships, while ensuring learners have access to high quality post-

secondary education, and employers have access to skilled workers.â&#x20AC;?

McGrath said he is honoured to have this opportunity and looks forward to joining the staff at the college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I look forward to making a contribution to the important work the college does serving learners, employers and communi-

ties. It is clear to me that the college has both the capacity and the drive to contribute to the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post secondary system in a time when the significance of education and training has never been greater,â&#x20AC;?

McGrath said.

McGrath replaces Jody Holzmiller who had been serving as interim CEO since November 2011.

Saskatchewan leads country in job creation A new Statistics Canada report says Saskatchewan is leading the country in job creation.

According to a government release, employment in Saskatchewan rose by 20,100 between August 2011 and August 2012, an increase of 3.8 per cent - the highest percentage increase in employment among the provinces and almost four times the national rate of 1 per cent.

In August 2012, there were 549,100 people employed in the province - an all-time high for employment in Saskatchewan, beating the previous record set this past June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strong job numbers show the solid performance of our economy and reflect the job opportunities available in Saskatchewan today,â&#x20AC;? Economy Minister Bill Boyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record numbers are exceptional and reinforce the confidence that investors, businesses and working people have in our economy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most importantly, this means there are plenty

of career opportunities for Saskatchewan people and those who want to move to Saskatchewan.â&#x20AC;?

Saskatchewanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment rate fell by 0.6 per cent in August to 4.4 per cent - tied with Alberta for the lowest unemployment rate in the nation and well below the national average of 7.3 per cent.

Other highlights include: â&#x20AC;˘ Full-time employment increased by 14,100 (3.1 per cent) and part-time increased by 6,100 (8.2 per

cent). â&#x20AC;˘ Reginaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment was up by 1,300 (1 per cent) for 28 months of year-over-year increases, and Saskatoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employment was up by 9,000 (6.1 per cent) for 10 months of year-over-year increases. â&#x20AC;˘ In August, Reginaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment rate was 4.2 per cent, and Saskatoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment rate was 5.3 per cent. Saskatoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment rate was the seventh lowest and Reginaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment rate was the second lowest

)RU DOO RI \RXU FRQFUHWH QHHGV

among all cities. â&#x20AC;˘ The sector with the largest employment growth was construction, up 7,100 in the past year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Job growth just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen, it is a product of increased activity in key areas of our economy,â&#x20AC;?

Boyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our challenge and our opportunity will be to make sure that growth

will continue into the long term and we will do that through good management and a new growth plan you will hear about in the coming months.â&#x20AC;?

The opposition NDP expressed concern that First Nations and MĂŠtis people are not benefiting from the job growth in Saskatchewan.

Cam Broten, NDP advanced education and employment critic, pointed to the cancellation of the successful Aboriginal Employment Development Program as a turning point in First Nations and MĂŠtis employment, and called on the Sask. Party government to bring back the program it scrapped.

UW Telethon creeps closer, committee work intensifies The stage may not be set yet, but the planning is certainly well underway for the annual United Way Telethon scheduled for October 12 and 13 in the Energy City.

Various committees have been meeting weekly lately to ensure things move along smoothly. Local UW president, Roberta DeRosier noted that this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is: Be the Difference, and the fundraising target has been set at $335,000. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal was $300,000.35 to commemorate the 35th anniversary. The total raised last year was in excess of $370,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each year since 1977, United Way board members, volunteers and community-minded residents come together to successfully reach the goal thanks to the generosity of the people and businesses in the community,â&#x20AC;? the local committee said in a release issued this past week.

The telethon will kickoff at 8 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 12 and will end at 5 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 13 with all activities being broadcast live on Access Channel 7.

All the action will once again be centred at the Estevan Royal Canadian Legion Memorial Hall on Fourth Street and the telethon will feature local talent and messages from community groups that benefit from the program. These groups include school children, seniors and church organizations as well as dancers, choirs, bands, solo singers and instrumentalists.

UW Estevan noted they still have room to slot in some entertainers, so anyone with a musical or any other talent is invited to contact them at 634-7375 or e-mail at: executivedirec tor@unitedwayestevan.com While the UW board is extensive, it needs to be since there are a number of committees needed to help arrange all the events

and keep things moving smoothly during the telethons and then clean up and put everything away after the fact.

The committee list includes such things as banking, public relations, entertainment, facilities, food, history, phones and cameras, production, hosts, security and the annual raffle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;United Way Estevan is grateful to all who have stepped forward to participate and perform these various duties and encourage community groups to contact us at the above phone number or e-mail address if they want to assist,â&#x20AC;? they said in the release.

There are 20 member agencies that benefit from the UW and they conduct a number of projects and

provide various services to the community in return.

Community projects such as the Hillcrest School Breakfast Club, Day of Caring and the ECS Challenge Day see direct involvement

by UW Estevan committee members.

A complete list of member agencies is found on the website: unitedwayestevan.com The local organizers said they can still use more items for the auction bid table. Anyone with homemade items is asked to contact Wendy at 421-7124 or Christa at 461-9465. â&#x20AC;&#x153;United Way Estevan thanks you for your past support and looks forward to working together with you for another great Telethon,â&#x20AC;? they said in conclusion.

WEDNESDAY

SOUNDING OFF â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we could have the same team we had (Saturday) three or four weeks ago, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be amazing where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be today.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Chargers head coach Steve McLellan after his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12-0 win over Grenfell.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always better to watch it the second time. The first time people watch roller derby, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What is going on?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Renee Buskow, head coach of the Hillbilly Hurt roller derby team, which hosted its second game on Saturday.

Elecs unravel in second half The first half of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football season opener between the ECS Elecs and Weyburn Eagles was full of entertainment, and the Elecs were very much in the game.

That all changed in the second half, and the Estevan Comprehensive School side went down to defeat, 36-8.

The Elecs trailed by only four points at the half, 12-8, but constant penalties and an inability to get anything going offensively buried them in the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started the game really well,â&#x20AC;? said Elecs head coach Mark Schott. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our offence was moving the ball well, defence was getting some key stops for us. Our special teams was also getting some good returns and good tackles downfield. We really started well and then things just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really go our way in the second half.â&#x20AC;?

Quarterback Kolby Fleury distributed the ball with authority in the first half, completing several long passes and making good use of his receivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They moved the ball through the air really well.

The receivers were catching and doing a really good job getting up the field. Kolby Fleury was doing a great job getting the ball to the open receivers,â&#x20AC;? said Schott.

However, he struggled in the second half and completed 7-of-20 for 132 yards on the day, with two interceptions.

Aaron Wakely of the ECS Elecs runs downfield after an interception late in the first half of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 36-8 loss to the Weyburn Eagles.

Defensive jack-of-alltrades Jeremy Godfrey had a strong start to the game, with a fumble recovery and several key tackles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was great for us all game. He battled through some bumps and bruises there and fought through it,â&#x20AC;? said Schott. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was great with fumble recoveries and knockdowns, sacks, he was all over the field. It was great to see.â&#x20AC;?

The Eagles got on the board first in the inaugural meeting between the two teams, kicking a 25-yard field goal with six minutes left in the first quarter.

About three minutes later, an Elecs penalty spotted the ball at the one-yard line and Eagles quarterback Kirk Winter punched it for a 10-0 lead.

On the last play of the first quarter, Fleury hooked up with receiver Ian Ferguson on a 33-yard passing play to the Weyburn 8.

Early in the second, Fleury rolled right and hit Evan Tarnes with an eightyard pass for a touchdown.

Tarnes was the go-to guy again on the two-point convert to make it 10-8.

Late in the first half, a botched punt return and a

penalty had the Elecs backed up deep in their own territory, and Fleury was brought down in the end zone for a safety.

Aaron Wakely saved a possible touchdown on the last play of the half, picking off Winter deep in ECS territory and running it all the way to the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 35. There was a penalty on the play, but it was declined. Wakely had another interception later on, but it was wiped out by a penalty.

It was all Weyburn in the second half, and the Elecs got very familiar with orange flags. They took 11

penalties for 82 yards in the game, more than doubling the Eagles on both counts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were definitely undisciplined and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to address,â&#x20AC;? said Schott. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was huge. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d stop them and then get a penalty and it advanced them for a first down. Any time you give up penalties like that that result in a first down, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely going to cost you.â&#x20AC;?

Winter started the Weyburn barrage early in the third quarter on a 32-yard rushing major. The Eagles later went ahead 26-8 on a five-yard rush with under

two minutes to play in the quarter.

A 66-yard rushing major widened the gap with 9:42 left in the game, and the Eagles kicked a 22-yard field goal with 3:38 left to close out the scoring.

Winter did it all for Weyburn, rushing for 76 yards on 13 carries and also completing 5-of-10 for 68 yards.

The Eagles racked up 259 rushing yards and 327 total. ECS had 169 total yards, the vast majority of them through the air.

Schott said everything seemed to go wrong in the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All phases of the game, we just took a step back in the second half. Offence was struggling to move the ball. Their team stepped up too. They made some adjustments at halftime, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an excellent team.

We just werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to adapt to what they were doing in the second half.â&#x20AC;?

He added that some players still werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure where they were supposed to be at times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All those sorts of things are things that we should know and that we need to know in a game. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be not knowing where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to be in a game. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late.â&#x20AC;?

The Elecsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second game of the season is tomorrow in Moose Jaw as they take on the A.E. Peacock Tornados.

Players show their stuff at Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; camp About 75 players took part in the Estevan Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; training camp on the weekend. With the preseason now underway, the tough decisions begin.

The tally included 44 forwards, 27 defencemen and five goalies.

Scrimmages were held on Friday and Saturday, with the four teams (black, gold, white, red) each playing three games.

That was followed by the annual Black and Gold Game on Sunday, which Team Black won for the second straight year.

1995-born forward Keegan Allison scored a hat trick to lead the Black side to a 6-3 victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t playing that good in the first couple of games, and then I came to this game and I just felt a lot better,â&#x20AC;? said Allison, who is from Saskatoon.

Other goal scorers for Black were Adam Osczevski (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;95), Hudson Morrison (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;94) and Brett Dumaine (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;94). Estevan product Dylan Johner (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;94) had three assists.

Every goal in the game was scored by a prospect.

For Gold, the scorers were Wyatt Trumbley (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;94), Ben Williams (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;94) and Wyatt Garagan (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;94).

Morrison, who played part of last season with the Waywayseecappo Wolverines, was perhaps the most high-profile youngster in camp and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a blast getting

back on the ice and playing physical hockey and good, competitive hockey. I think I had a very good camp and showed my skill very well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a very good impression. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy and hopefully the coaches are too.â&#x20AC;?

Aside from Morrison, Bruins head coach Keith Cassidy added that Williams, recent acquisition Nick Weiss and goalies Brett Lewchuk (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;95) and Ryland Pashovitz (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;95) were among the players who impressed, along with a litany of defencemen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the back end, where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a real dogfight, there are as many as 12 guys in the conversation for what we think is going to be eight spots to start the year,â&#x20AC;? said Cassidy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think most of the guys looked around and realized there are some tough decisions to be made here. I think their performance reflected that.â&#x20AC;?

One of those rearguards in the mix is 17-year-old Zach Douglas, one of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top defence prospects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Zach Douglas has made a very, very good case for himself. On defence, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a logjam there right now and as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;95, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still in the conversation. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see how he handles the intensity as it gets going, but right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking good for him,â&#x20AC;?

Cassidy said.

At the other end of the

Bruins defenceman Tyler Kauk (2) throws a pass in front of the net while being dogged by Tyler Poskus and watched by goalie Cody Murray during the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black and Gold Game on Sunday. spectrum on the back end is veteran Connor Milligan, who was widely considered a standout on the weekend. He said there was some motivation to have a good summer in the gym. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming back for your 20-year-old season, you want to put everything into your last year and try to make the most of it and make some memories with the boys,â&#x20AC;?

Milligan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve added a bit of offensive style to my game and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working out for me out there. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m jumping into the play and not sitting back on my heels as much as I was last year.â&#x20AC;?

Cassidy felt Milligan and Froese stood out as returnees who looked to be in improved form. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Tanner Froese had a monster off-season. His speed and strength are things that guys are going to have to be worried about this year.â&#x20AC;?

Matt Brykaliuk is another second-year forward who showed well at camp, and the Bruins are moving him back to his natural position of centre, where he is expected to anchor the second line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The guy has talent to burn. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done a lot of good work in the off-season, for him, trying to bulk up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny, as slight as he might

be right now, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably gained 10-12 pounds over the summer,â&#x20AC;? said Cassidy.

One of the more intriguing cases in camp was that of 16-year-old Bienfait product Lynnden Pastachak, who has done nothing but impress at spring camp and now training camp. He will head back to Yorkton for his second year of midget AAA, as the Bruins have a logjam up front as it is. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In any other year, he might be in the conversation to play in the SJ as a 16-yearold,â&#x20AC;? said Cassidy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shown real well and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to seeing what he can do in the future,â&#x20AC;?

said Cassidy.

The Bruins had 30 players left in camp as of Monday and were expecting to pare that down to 27 or 28 by mid-week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously you want to be down to reasonable numbers sooner rather than later, but I think there are guys here who deserve a look, and if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide that to them then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing them a disservice, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing us a disservice as well,â&#x20AC;? said Cassidy.

The team played Notre Dame in the annual rookie game on Monday and will host Weyburn in preseason action tonight at 7:30 p.m.

Estevan Mercury

Manor cowboy wins bull riding crown Fans waited for a big score all weekend, and on one of the fi nal rides Saturday night, it finally happened.

Teagan Hodgson of Manor rode Raftor Anchor Rodeo bull Pushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n It to a score of 83 to win the bull riding event at the Estevan Rodeo.

Hodgson was the only rider to crack 80 on a weekend where high scores were tough to find.

Lane Laplante of North Battleford had set the mark of 79 a few minutes earlier, but Hodgson â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the closest thing to a local in the field â&#x20AC;&#x201D; held on long enough to take the title.

Three other riders stayed on their bulls: Cody Coverchuk of Meadow Lake (76), Tim Lipsett of Lumsden (72) and Tom Willoughby of Beechy (63).

The event featured a new-look arena, with the grounds having been redone and the corral fencing being replaced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We found out weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a few little things we have to change, but it worked good. The contestants really liked it,â&#x20AC;? said Estevan Rodeo committee member Laura Mantei.

About 1,000 people packed the grandstands over the course of two days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was good, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt about it. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen a crowd like that,â&#x20AC;? said Mantei.

There were 227 entries

and slack performances had to be held Saturday morning for steer wrestling, tie down roping, team roping and barrel racing.

Among the event winners were Keifer Watt of Hardisty, Alta. (saddle bronc); Dustan McPhee of Hanley (bareback); Scott Sigfusson of Davidson (tie down roping); Travis McColl of Elkhorn, Man. (steer wrestling); Erin Hagan of Virden, Man. (ladies barrel racing); Neil Miller and Murray Moran of Brandon (team roping); Nicole Pana of Wood Mountain and Mardi Yarshenko of Maple Creek (junior barrels); Lane Link of Maple Creek (novice bareback); and Luke Chaplain of Kennedy, originally from Australia (novice saddle bronc).

There were nine local competitors in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rodeo, seven of them in barrel racing.

Cindy Brock, Melissa Harding, Torie Marie Froese and Danette Holbrook all took part in ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; barrel racing, with Kathleen Schiml, Brooke Kruger and Justiss Daoust competing in the junior barrels.

Jeremy Ross entered team roping with Weyburnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brett Gaube, and Austin Ameel competed in tie down roping.

Mantei said there has been no decision yet on whether next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rodeo will be held in September or moved back to early summer.

Clayton Bunney of Cessfold, Alta., holds onto Icey Creek during the bareback portion of Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rodeo performance. Bunney would score 70.

Chargers break goose egg with first win After three straight losses, the Estevan Century 21 Chargers broke through Saturday with their first victory of the season.

Not only that, the peewee football squad shut down the Grenfell Argos in a 12-0 win.

It was the first win for any Penta Completions Estevan Minor Football team this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153; We w e r e r e a l l y pumped up and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so happy for them. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really proud of how they played,â&#x20AC;? said Chargers head coach

Steve McLellan.

The Chargers (1-3) were also the only EMF team to win a game last year.

All of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring took place in the first half.

The Chargers dominated on the ground during their first drive, picking up a couple of big gains.

Quarterback Cameron Rioux called his own number and ran into the end zone for a major.

Their other touchdown came in the second quarter when Rioux ran

an 11-yard sweep. The convert failed, leaving the Chargers at 12 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153; We p l a y e d t h e m last year in another close game. It was a hell of a game last year when we played against them, so we were kind of expecting the same,â&#x20AC;? said McLellan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any time you get a shutout, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take it.â&#x20AC;?

The Chargersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defence was dominant at times, and running back Colein Poole had a strong game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were able to start the pitches and our defence was impenetrable,â&#x20AC;? said

Eve of Destruction on tap again at EMS The second annual Eve of Destruction event will take over Estevan Motor Speedway on Saturday, with a new format.

The popular event will see vehicles hauling trailers in a figure-eight race.

Last year, well over 2,000 fans came out to watch a combine demolition derby.

They should see lots of contact this year as well.

Any vehicle that is one ton or smaller can enter.

Each vehicle will pull a trailer at least six feet long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The object is to knock the other guysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; trailers off,â&#x20AC;? said organizer Davin Emmel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the action slows down, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stop the race and whatever weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got left, do a 10-15 lap dash to figure out the winner.â&#x20AC;?

He said he was expecting more than 20 entries for the event which will start at 7:00 pm.

The rollover contest is back from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event,

and it will also include freestyle motocross riders coming in from B.C. Two of them are former X-Games finalists.

With the overflow crowd that showed up last year, extra seating is being brought in for the evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we have good weather, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a pretty good crowd again.

I think everyone enjoyed the combine deal, and this should be just as exciting or more,â&#x20AC;? said Emmel.

Andrew Kehler tries to evade a would-be tackler from the Grenfell Argos during the Estevan Chargersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 12-0 win on Saturday.

McLellan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we could have the same team we had (Saturday), three or four weeks ago, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be amazing where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be today.â&#x20AC;?

He added that the win was big for team morale after a trio of losses to start the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt the mood this week was pretty good, but

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how much longer it would have been really great without this. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even just having a successful game is huge.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad to see it.â&#x20AC;?

Estevan Mercury

Missed chances haunt Steelers in narrow loss The Estevan Lions Club Steelers were involved in probably the most entertaining game of Football Day in Estevan on Saturday, but several missed opportunities were the difference between winning and losing.

The Steelers (0-4) had their chances to win but would lose 30-22 to the Balgonie Griffins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a fumble in the red zone and we got stopped in the red zone twice, which is just jitters, you know, young football players,â&#x20AC;? said Steelers head coach Phil Zajac. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our defence picked one off for a touchdown, that was (Riley) Meshke.

They caused turnovers, quarterback sacks, all the things that we need to do, we did it all, but unfortunately someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotta lose.

We just came up a little bit short.â&#x20AC;?

The Steelers trailed 1614 at the half after blowing a chance to take the lead at the end of the second quarter.

After a strong punt re-

turn by Evan Stabenow, the Steelers drove the ball inside the 10-yard line. On the last play of the half, a thirddown pass to Kolby Dyck was completed but fell about a yard short of the goal line.

Zajac said it may have been a turning point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It mightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been enough to cause them to tank. We physically beat them up and down the field (in the first half) and they were tired. Their defence was tired in the fourth quarter and so was their offence.

We just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the ball back.â&#x20AC;?

In the third quarter, the Steelers hurt themselves more than anything with three turnovers, two of them coming immediately after getting the ball. Two of them led to Balgonie majors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our defence got out on the field for a lot of time at that point. You get a big victory on defence and you fumble it or (commit) a quick turnover on offence, and it makes it tough for the defence to go back out on

the field,â&#x20AC;? said Zajac.

One last chance for the Steelers came with about three minutes left, when Balgonie was about to punt.

However, the Steelers were tagged with a 15-yard penalty, giving the visitors a first down.

The Griffins ate up the rest of the clock and never did give the ball back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football,â&#x20AC;? Zajac said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took a penalty, gave them a first down and then they marched the ball.

They ran the clock out on us and we had one timeout left, we called it, they got another first down and game over.â&#x20AC;?

One of the most encouraging aspects of the game for Estevan was that they drove the ball extremely well, putting together meticulous drives that often ended up in the red zone.

The Steelers scored first after blocking a punt deep in Balgonie territory.

Wyatt Haux ran for five yards and fumbled at the goal line but managed to fall on the ball to give Estevan

in the red zone on the last play of the third quarter to keep the score 30-14.

In the fourth quarter, the Steelers manufactured an impressive drive, only to lose it to a fumble on the four-yard line.

But on the very next play, Meshke picked off a short passing attempt and took it to the house to pull

an 8-0 lead after one quarter.

Balgonie responded quickly with a 60-yard run for a touchdown. They then recovered an onside kick and struck again, completing a 55-yard touchdown pass.

The Steelers replied with another major. Stabenow returned a punt to the Balgonie 29, and the home side marched to the 1 after a pair of passes to Dyck and a rushing gain by Haux. Running back Levi Pick then punched it in for six.

Early in the third quarter, the Steelers turned it over on downs and Balgonie made them pay immediately, ripping off a 70-yard catch-and-run play on first down. That put them ahead 22-14.

On the Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first play after the ensuing kick, quarterback Justin Taillon threw an interception, leading to a Griffins drive that ended with a short plunge into the end zone.

The Steelersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defence made a big third down stop

Estevan within eight.

Zajac said the team worked a lot on putting together drives in practice last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each week we need to get a little bit better, so when it comes playoff time, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready. Everybody gets a shot at the playoffs and I think we improved greatly this week compared to last week.â&#x20AC;?

Local roller derby club defeats Prince Albert The Hillbilly Hurt roller derby team played its second game on Saturday and the evening was successful on the track and otherwise.

The Hurt defeated the NorSask DiefenBreak-Hers of Prince Albert 143-133 in a tightly contested game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they did really

well,â&#x20AC;? said Hurt coach Renee Buskow, who added that it was nice to play a team of a similar skill level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even for the audience, I think it makes for a better game.â&#x20AC;?

It was the first match for the Prince Albert team.

Buskow said roughly 150-200 people watched the

game, which is slightly lower than the turnout for the last game in April, but that was to be expected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the same as last time, but we kinda knew that going in because of the rodeo going on and everything.â&#x20AC;?

Still, she said she hopes some of the people who returned to watch for a second time now have a better understanding of the sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always better to watch it the second

time. The first time people watch roller derby, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What is going on?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

The Hurt borrowed three players from Moose Jaw to make up for some injuries.

Buskow said the team is looking to play in a different venue for its next game, which will come sometime next year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the (Icon Centre), itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK size-wise. Really, the only thing that affects it is the width.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully next season we can get into the curling rink and play on that wider surface, so people can watch all around the track instead of just at the end.â&#x20AC;?

The team has been invited by a club in Brandon to play a game there in November, but hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decided yet if it will be able to go.

Meanwhile, the South East Saskatchewan Roller Derby Association is holding a recruiting session on Sunday from 1-4 p.m. at the

Icon Centre.

Women aged 18 and older are needed for all positions. Equipment will be available and experienced skaters will be on hand to help. Previous skating or roller derby experience is not necessary.

Anyone interested in refereeing is welcome.

Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roster picture far from clear Of the 42 players who suited up in the Black and Gold Game at Estevan Bruins training camp on Sunday, 34 of them were still in the picture to make the team on Monday.

Once the Bruins make another round of cuts around mid-week, the decisions will really get tough.

And this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t including a handful of younger players who, normally, would get a shot to make it.

The best example of that is 16-year-old Lynnden Pastachak, who for the most part had a strong camp. And I do think he could play this year. The problem is he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough ice time to justify him playing at this level as a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;96. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better for his development to go back to midget and AP a few times with the Bruins.

A pair of 17-year-old forwards, Adam Osczevski and Keegan Allison, had good camps as well, and they should both fight for a spot next year. The Bruins are very high on Osczevski in particular.

The team brought in 19-year-old defenceman

Josh Lewis Hear Me Out Nick Sova on a tryout. He split last year between Minot (NAHL) and a Tier III league in Montana. Sova has earned a longer look with the team. He apparently enjoys dropping the gloves.

Another player who came in to try out was 18-year-old forward Bryce Maggrah, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already played two seasons in the SIJHL in Ontario. He has been cut, although Bruins head coach and GM Keith Cassidy said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything wrong in camp.

But back to the dilemmas at hand.

There are still 18 forwards sticking around, including seven prospects and a couple of new â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;93-borns trying to catch on.

Hudson Morrison (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;94) and Wyatt Garagan (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;94) are virtual locks to make it, while â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;94s Ben Williams and Brandon Halbgewachs are good bets as well. Day-

ton Picard (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;94), Dylan Johner (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;94), Daniel Wanner (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;95), Justin Nychuk (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;93) and Tyson Valette (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;93) are also in the mix.

Valette spent half of last season with the La Ronge Ice Wolves in an energy role.

Morrison, who played 36 games in the MJHL last year and is expected to make an immediate impact, spent some time on a line with Calder Neufeld and Cole Olson on the weekend.

If that line carries over into the season, Morrison could put up big numbers.

On the back end, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just as crowded with 12 defencemen still being considered for eight spots.

Aside from Sova, the newcomers battling for a spot are â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;94s Brett Dumaine, David Robertson and Wyatt Trumbley, and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;95s Zach Douglas and Edwin Hookenson.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost a slam dunk that Douglas and Hookenson will both be Bruins next year, and Douglas has a good chance to make it now, having shown off an impressive two-way game

Woodlawn holds parent-child event The TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club held its 29th annual Parent-Child Golf Tournament on Saturday.

The alternate shot event attracted 42 teams.

The children ranged from three years old to 17.

The flight winners were Taryn Stovin (fatherdaughter senior), Tatiana Dutka (mother-daughter senior), Erik Gusikoski (father-son senior), Sage Dayman (mother-son senior), Tanisey Sernick (fatherdaughter junior), Hunter Siever (father-son junior) and Jack Renkas (motherson junior).

The tournament was followed by hot dogs, pop and ice cream as well as the award presentations.

in camp.

In goal, three tenders are still in the mix to back up Steven Glass. They include Travis Pelletier (â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;94), the presumptive favourite going into camp, as well as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;95s Ryland Pashovitz and Brett Lewchuk, both of whom had some terrific outings during camp.

The smart money is probably still on Pelletier, mainly due to age. If he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t crack the Bruins this year, he probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get another chance.

The Bruins will have three preseason games to make their decisions, although, as always, the permanent roster likely wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t assert itself until a couple of months into the season, once the team gets down to 22 or 23 cards. *** Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minor football program finally had some on-field success Saturday, with one win and a near-miss.

The peewee Chargers got an enormous performance from its defence in

Hole in one Brenda Karpa of Estevan shot a hole in one at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club on Sept. 4 during ladiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; night.

Karpa hit the ace on the eighth hole at Woodlawn, playing from the red tees for a distance of 120 yards.

She used a driver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hit the pin so hard, two of us thought it went into the bushes, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how hard I hit it,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first ace for Karpa, who also has an eight-ender in curling on her sports resume.

Her playing partners were Jackie Malaryk, Wanda Styre and Mona Dukart.

to hold them back.

The Steelers need to work on finishing off drives and being calm in pressure situations, but their offence looks good from here.

They also made some big defensive plays on Saturday, including Riley Meshkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pick-six immediately after a fumble inside the 5, several sacks and a blocked punt.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be shocked if the Steelers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win at least one game out of their remaining four.

defeating Grenfell 12-0 for EMFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first win of the year from any team.

Quarterback Cameron Rioux and running back Colein Poole led the offensive effort.

Rioux was down on the field for a while in the fourth quarter after an injury, but is OK. Meanwhile, the bantam Steelers were involved in a highly entertaining game with Balgonie.

They lost 30-22, but a lot of confidence-building things happened for the Steelers on Saturday.

They marched the ball downfield better than any EMF game Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in two years. And they had several moments where they were on the verge of tying the game or taking the lead, only for an untimely turnover or third-down failure

Estevan Mercury

Lack of focus hurts atom Miners The Estevan Sherritt Coal Miners kicked off Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Football Day in Estevan on a high note, but it was all downhill from there for the atom club.

Kade Bachorcikâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early touchdown was the high water mark for the Miners (0-4) in a 60-6 loss to the Regina Cardinals.

On the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second possession of the game, Bachorcik scored on a 65yard sweep, the same way he had reached the end zone a week earlier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Same play, same way, he did the same thing. He took it to the house, outran the angles on everybody and took it right to the end zone,â&#x20AC;? said Evan Helfrick, who has been promoted from associate coach to head coach.

The Miners trailed 36-6 at the half.

Helfrick said a lack of focus was the biggest thing working against his team following a week of practice where not much got done due to school starting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even from the start of the game, even though we scored a touchdown, the

kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; focus wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there.

They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really blocking. Just a lapse altogether,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blocking is the big thing. On our offensive plays, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not blocking well enough and our running back canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break four or five tackles. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gotta get some blocking help from his guys.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to work on that this week,â&#x20AC;? said Helfrick.

He added that finishing plays off defensively is also a priority. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pursuit angles are really (good), theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting out there, now they just gotta learn to make the tackle, make the play or wait for someone to come help them make the play together.â&#x20AC;?

Consistency is an issue for the Miners and Helfrick said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to maintain at the atom level, with most of the players being new to football. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last week our team played phenomenal, one of the best games Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen from that age group,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then you come into this week thinking youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all fired up and ready to do

the same kind of thing, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a totally different team out there.â&#x20AC;?

Following the game, former Saskatchewan

Roughriders Don Narcisse and Scott Schultz spoke, and Penta Completions Estevan Minor Football announced that it will be moving back

to the Dana Quewezance Memorial Field for next season.

Narcisse and Schultz were on hand throughout

the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four games for autographs and pictures.

The Minersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next game is Saturday in Regina against the Alouettes.

Cyrus Rooks of the Estevan Miners looks to shake a Regina Cardinals tackler during the Minersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 60-6 loss on Saturday.

Geib looking for first win at Hard Knocks 28 Hard Knocks Fighting Championshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth card in Estevan will take place on Friday at Spectra Place.

Seven Estevan fighters are on the card, which had 17 fights on it as of Monday.

Among the local contingent is Mike Geib, who is looking for his first win.

Geib made his Hard Knocks debut at HK24 in Estevan in June, where he lost to fellow local Craig Gaudry by unanimous decision.

His second fight came a month later at HK26 in Prince Albert, where he lost to Jordan Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor late in the first round by tapout via guillotine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My first fight, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really ready to go the full

nine minutes and that kinda hurt me. My second fight, same thing, my stand-up I think was way better than him, I just got myself caught in a bad position. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been trying to do a little more wrestling and submission defence this time,â&#x20AC;? said Geib.

He said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken a while to get used to being in the cage, especially at home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been more of a learning curve than anything. Staying calm in front of all those people, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty intense actually.â&#x20AC;?

Geib described himself as a stand-up fighter but said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to improve other aspects of his repertoire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to stay standing up. I think my skills boxing-

Mike Geib (top) tries to lock Craig Gaudry in a choke during their fight at Hard Knocks 24 in June. Both will be fighting at HK 28 on Friday. wise are fairly good,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You try to train so that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re well-rounded, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so wide, mixed martial arts, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much you could try to train for, you could

never be totally prepared for anyone.â&#x20AC;?

He added that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still looking for sparring partners and people to train with.

Geib is scheduled to

fight Kevin Taylor of Brandon in a 205-pound bout.

Taylor does not have a record.

Another local on the card is Kurt Bailey. He owns a 9-6 career record and is fighting Corey Atkinson, who is 4-4-1 lifetime.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fighting since 2008, mostly in Saskatchewan.

Bailey said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been lined up to fight Atkinson before, but an injury stopped it from happening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a tough guy, so I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take him lightly. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m expecting a war, three rounds. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready for three rounds with him.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what happens.

Creighton Lodge Notes

By Judy Pratt & Shelly Veroba Creighton Lodge Correspondents August was a lovely month for the residents at Creighton Lodge. The exceptional weather allowed us to sit out in the sun and enjoy all our flowers and gardening efforts. Residents were certainly able to get their exercise and took every opportunity to walk around the grounds of the building.

It was a bit slower in the entertainment de-

partment as many of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;regularsâ&#x20AC;? take the summer off. We would like to especially thank Freddie and the Freebies, the Happy Wanderers, and Jim Pratt for our musical Thursday nights, as well as Elly Foster for our musical Friday afternoons.

A special thank you to Audrey Andrist and James Stern for the piano/violin concert we were privileged to attend here at the lodge. We are so glad they think of us when they visit Estevan.

One of the highlights

of last month was resident talent night held on Aug. 30. We had many folks entertain us that evening with their piano playing, accordion playing, dancing, singing and reading.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing how we can make our own fun when we have to! It was a concert worth attending and the big plus was all the door prizes were gave out.

It was certainly a fun night for all.

A big thank you to all of the good folks who volunteer their time for us one way or another at the

lodge.

One of the residents, Olive Murphy, had a little free time and penned a beautiful poem about C r e i g h t o n L o d g e . We would like to use her poem to fi nish off our column this month.

ODE TO CREIGHTON LODGE She walks down the hall with a smile on her face The reason for the smile, she lives in this place The name is Creighton Lodge.

The clergy arrives in the afternoon on Sunday, Providing spiritual

peace for the week, come Monday There are super cooks who serve a banquet fare Wi t h a v a r i e t y o f menus that show that they care.

A whirlpool bath and a beauty salon With an operator hard to beat Takes care of the hair keeping all cut, curled and neat.

The Creighton Lodge Choir known as the Song Birds Wa r b l e t h e i r w a y through melodies and words.

The Therapy dogs come once a week To provide loving

therapy for all who seek.

Top notch entertainment, jazzy and peppy, And toe tapping music keeps Creighton Lodge happy.

Nail care, exercise and chair yoga performed by volunteers, all, Several pianists and KFC kitchen help have also answered the call.

Every two weeks the Church of Christ singers come along, And lead all in prayer and in song.

Management, R.M. and Home Care staff have so much to give There is a waiting list of folks to want to live, At Creighton Lodge.

“I think transparency in the world changes with each situation, and even each person.”

Bay #1 - Hwy. 13 CARLYLE, SK Ph: 453-2519

Monique Martin attended the opening of her exhibit Flow, at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum on Sept. 6. Her exhibit features a series of multi-layered prints that feature fish as a stand in for how humans find a flow in their lives.

Go with the Flow at the art gallery Monique Martin’s fishy exhibit explores how we all strive for flow in our world.

Now showing in Gallery II at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum, Flow is a series of prints using linocuts, a particularly labour-intensive way of producing the final piece.

Martin is a Saskatoon artist and attended the exhibition’s opening at the EAGM on Sept. 6.

“It’s about that moment in time when you don’t think about anything else. You’re totally captured by whatever you’re doing,” Martin said about the exhibit, which features schools of fish.

She decided to explore the idea of finding flow after reading a book that deals with the concept. The book talks a lot about how as a

society, people can enter into flow and make things happen. People try to find flow in all aspects of their lives, Martin said.

“I do in my school, and you even do in a family. You have to get that moment of flow to make the week happen. Sometimes it flows easy, sometimes it doesn’t. “(Flow) is usually sparked by a challenge in the brain. It’s not where you’re doing something that’s repetitive. It’s where you’re actually challenged but you enter that moment of, I’m not thinking about anything else, I’m right here.”

She said the series was inspired by a moment when she was 12 years old, fishing with her brother. Not a very good fisher herself, Martin was instead drawn to the mo-

tion of the fish in the water.

“On this particular moment, a school of fish kept swimming in that flowing movement, and I was totally enraptured by that. I entered that moment of not hearing anything else and going, ‘wow, look what’s happening.’”

Martin often deals in a series when she completes her work. She rarely produces only one piece for a project, and this exhibit features a number of arrangements.

With linocut printing, Martin started with a solid block carving of the fish she was working with. The block was then painted and pressed onto the vellum paper. The block was repainted and pressed again until there were many layers of colour.

Because each piece

of paper is printed with a block numerous times, it was a long process. If the block wasn’t aligned properly when pressed it would spoil that sheet of paper. She estimates if one piece has 10 layers of paper, she would have printed at least 20.

“I entered into a whole state of flow doing this. You become so engrossed in such a challenging project,” said Martin. “It’s not like painting. If you make a mistake in painting, you can fix it.

If you carve something off of the block, you can’t put it back on.”

She said she enjoys the linocut process, despite the time-consuming and all-ornothing approach that must be taken.

“I love the graphic nature of printmaking. Print-

making is a lot of preparation before the moment of creation. The actual printing time is very minimal. I also love the repetition — I’m a person that loves repetition — the challenge of making them the same, the same, the same. I find that mentally, a really great challenge.”

With the layers of fish on the pages, some are bold and eye-catching, while others are slight shadows. As someone approaches a piece, they see more and more layers the closer they get. “(Flow is) about how we’re interconnected. The transparency is on purpose,” Martin said, explaining the faded subjects. “I think transparency in the world changes with each situation, and even each person. You think you know someone, and they’re

very transparent to you, but then you see them in a different situation and the transparency changes.”

Her pieces are layered to show that transparency.

Some works have 10 pieces of paper, while others have only a few.

“Some people have more layers that you need to get through. Other people are very much here I am and they let it all kind of hang out,” said Martin. “Even in entering into flow, if you aren’t true to yourself and true to your motivations, finding those moments of flow where everything happens and you’re in that moment are rare, if you’re faking life.”

The exhibit is on display until Oct. 13.

King’s circus is back in town at EAGM There is a colourful blast out of Estevan’s past taking up space as the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum welcomes folks back to the circus.

The gallery is once again showing the works of local printmaker Andrew King in an exhibit that opened Sept. 6 entitled Andrew King: Welcome to the Circus. Amber Andersen, EAGM curator, noted King’s work is the most comprehensive collection they have in their inventory.

“This is work from our collection, donated to us by the King family. This is our most prominent collective body in our collection,” said Andersen. “What’s really exciting about this is that I knew of Andrew King in terms of his imagery, but I knew very little about the man, so being able to do a retrospective like this allows us to pull out really impressive pieces from our collection.

It also allows us the ability to research and look into the collection.”

This isn’t the first showing of the King collection, with previous exhibitions in 1981 and from 2002 to 2004.

“What we’re trying to do this time is to pull out a little bit more of the wood blocks, so there’s more of an understanding of how printmaking works, specifically wood-block printing,” Andersen added.

King was a local printmaker who pioneered poster printing in Canada in 1912, the first in the country to do so. That was before he came to Estevan in the 1940s with his company, King Show Print.

The EAGM is hosting a soirée on Oct. 20 that will feature an auction of duplicate prints of King’s works. Funds generated will go towards the maintenance, promotion and preservation of the collection.

“Andrew King is renowned in Canadian history and also printmaking history,” said Andersen.

“In this case it does (take a lot of effort to preserve the work). You have Andrew King who is a businessman doing poster printing. He often had it accompanied by a newspaper, so he’s using cheap newsprint. The less quality of the paper, the more conscientious you have to be about its preservation because it’s going to easily break down in terms of the colours going to change if it’s shown in light.”

Paper works are generally a very tricky medium to keep in excellent shape she added. “(You have) to get them framed and put in acid-free framing and mattes, and putting them in something that’s more climate controlled.

Our collection room is our next focus to get that up and running.”

Because of the impressive collection under the EAGM’s care, the collection room is becoming more of a priority.

There will be a carnival theme for the soirée to mirror many of King’s prints that are on display during the exhibit.

The letters forming Andrew King rest on the gallery wall, carved in blocks. The letter “N” is missing in the last name. Andersen said there is a reason for that.

“With this show, we’re playing with it a little bit,” she said. “It’s going to be kind of a living thing. We’re going to actually print the N, so people can understand how the N will flip, so you can understand how print is always kind of backwards and then it prints forwards.

Those are little things we’re going to be doing as we move on with this exhibition.”

The exhibit will run until Nov. 3.

Now showing in the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum’s main exhibition room is a series of Andrew King prints and blocks from the EAGM’s own collection. The exhibit runs from Sept. 6 to Nov. 3.

Home Plan of the week TOUCH OF VICTORIAN ELEGANCE Plan No. 7-4-932 A turret surrounded by an old-fashioned veranda with decorative stonebased pilasters lends the exterior of this generously proportioned four-bedroom home a touch of Victorian elegance.

The elegance carries through the covered entry and beyond the doubleheight foyer. To the right, a charming study occupies the turretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ground floor; with french doors to a veranda. Nearby is a powder room with a coat closet opposite.

The great room, complete with a fireplace

flanked by built-in entertainment units, flows seamlessly into the bayedout nook, where a window seat overlooks the back garden.

No cook will ever feel isolated in the kitchen, separated only by countertops and an eating bar from the great room and nook.

The U-shaped counter configuration will save steps, and a capacious pantry provides always-needed storage space. Completing this well-designed space is a convenient prep island.

Also on the main floor is the laundry room, with a handy chute from upstairs and built-in boot shelves.

Access from the double garage to the kitchen leads through a mudroom with a

useful bench for changing damp or grubby footwear.

The design shows regard for the streetscape the garageâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s double doors are hidden, with two partly mullioned street-side windows giving passersby the illusion of lived-in space.

On the second fl oor, the master bedroom features its own private balcony and a walk-in closet.

The four-piece ensuite occupies the turret, giving this space the air of a spa retreat.

The second and third bedrooms share a spacious four-piece bathroom with a laundry chute. Over the garage, linked to the main house by a sloping walkway, is an unfinished bonus room. With slanting ceil-

ings and a dormer window, this space would make an ideal play area or studio.

This home measures 79 feet wide and 50 feet, seven inches deep, totalling 2,673 square feet, plus an unfinished basement.

In Loving Memory of Barbara Stasiuk July 3, 1933 September 9, 1987 It’s been 25 years since you left us Your resting place we visit And put flowers there with care, But no one knows the heartache As we turn and leave you there.

Although we smile and make no fuss No one misses you more than us And when old times we often recall, It’s then we miss you most of all.

- Sadly Missed and Remembered

by Marco, Allan and Shirley.

IN MEMORIAM Audrey Butler July 20, 1932 September 16, 1999 I woke up this morning and thought of you, With the passing of time, this now doesn’t happen every day.

Then a memory pops up and out of the blue, I’ll see your face, and hear you laugh in that funny way.

Don’t worry Mom, we’ll always remember you, We will keep coming to visit, to place our flowers on the peaceful place you lay.

- Love, Your Family.

HOUSES FOR SALE

Emily September 15, 2008 Ralph June 1, 1999 In Loving Memories of Our Parents Ralph and Emily McGillicky Our family circle has been broken, A link gone from our chain; But though we’re parted for a while We know we’ll meet again.

Some day, we know not when We shall meet in a better land And never part again.

We shall meet with many a loved one That was torn from our embrace, We shall listen for their voices, And behold them face to face.

Sunshine passes, shadows fall, Love’s remembrance outlasts all.

- Always loved and remembered by your family.

Dining a pleasure at ERNH The Estevan Regional Nursing Home Auxiliary has provided the facility on Wellock Road a new look in the dining room through their donation of 14 new dining tables plus three more assisted feeding tables.

The auxiliary added to the package by including a new dishwasher and freezer for the Petterson Room, said Jan Dunbar, president of the auxiliary who was on hand for the presentation to ERNH manager Christine Stephany.

Dunbar explained the auxiliary gathered the funds through a generous donation from the United Way of Estevan plus a series of bake sales and raffles.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The auxiliary also made another donation earlier this year through its memorial fund, enough to provide for 24 new lawn chairs for the gazebo,â&#x20AC;? said Dunbar.
