VETERANS REMEMBERED

Horses in quarantine as precaution

By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca

Students at Westview School participated in a Remembrance Day assembly on Monday, which included multiple presentations including songs, poems and a videos.

Issue 28

SERVING THE ENERGY CITY FOR 112 YEARS

It was in mid-October when a red flag was raised that a horse in the RM of Estevan had tested positive for rabies.

Without any means of curing the horse, it was swiftly culled from its herd, and the matter was assigned to Saskatchewan’s rabies risk assessment veterinarian, Clarence Bischop. Without knowing exactly how the horse was infected and whether rabies may have been spread further, the other horses in the pasture were placed into quarantine.

In an interview last week, Bischop didn’t say exactly how many horses were currently under quarantine but noted it was “just a few.”

The spread of rabies from large animals like horses or cows to others in the herd is rare, but the quarantine is in effect nonetheless.

The horses will remain in quarantine from anywhere between 40 and 60 days, which Bischop said is typical for animals of that size. A horse may not begin to exhibit symptoms for up to six weeks following exposure.

Though it was unclear exactly how the horse contracted rabies, Bischop noted it is likely the horse was bitten by a skunk, which is the most common animal in southeast Saskatchewan to carry the disease that is transmitted through the saliva.

During that time, he said the owner will monitor the horses’ behavior and is responsible for reporting any potential symptoms.

Because the disease will impact an animal’s behaviour, Bischop said owners are perhaps the best equipped to identify those changes in behaviour ⇢A2 Animals

It was dubbed by the Mercury in 2010 as the issue that wouldn’t die.

Four years later, it appears to be getting closer to a resolution.

A May 2010 Mercury story noted speed limits had been a hot-button issue for the past year in city council. In 2009, the members of council appeared ready to reduce the speed limit in Estevan’s residential areas to 40

km/hr but changed course when a number of citizens said they weren’t in favour of a change.

The question of speed reduction was eventually put to voters in a nonbinding plebiscite during the 2012 municipal election, and while the majority vote wasn’t overwhelming – the final tally was 1,468 to 1,442 – there was a majority favouring a speed limit change in residential areas from 50 km/hr to 40km/hr. ⇢A2 Lots

Entering its third year of operation, Estevan’s Warm Welcome homeless shelter program is again on a growth curve.

Expanding the program translates into a need for more volunteers and more donations to meet the new demands, said Lieut. Brian Bobolo of the Salvation Army, who share the shelter’s duties with St. Paul’s United Church and their minister Brenna Nickel.

The shelter will be offered to the cold and homeless guests every night of the week this winter, beginning on Nov. 16.

Shelter program starts earlier this year ⇠A1 Tuesdays and at St. Paul’s Wednesdays through Saturdays. Those without housing or suitable accommodations for the night can check in around 8 p.m. and are expected to be out by 8 a.m. the following day to allow the two organizations to continue to conduct their regular business. An evening snack and morning breakfasts have become a part of the program’s offering, which the team of volunteers would like to see continue.

“We’re a bit behind on the donations and the volunteers for each shift,” said Bobolo, adding that volunteers receive training so they can offer continuity of care for guests.

“Last winter we’d average four or five guests each night, a few more when it got really cold. I expect it could be an average of five to seven this year because the word gets out and the homeless get to realize that there is something there to help them.”

The volunteers work in shifts with the first team working from 8 p.m. to midnight, while the second shift checks in at midnight and are available until 8 a.m.

About four or five volunteers along with the captain make up the ideal team.

“It’s actually a fun experience, it’s more like creating a community family event, not just monitoring sleeping quarters,” said the Army officer.

There is a lot of visiting going on, some passive game playing and, of course, the evening snacks and breakfasts to share.

“We’ll have a budget of around $30,000 this winter.

We were a bit under that last year and with it expanding by about 25 per cent, we can expect it to top that mark,” Bobolo explained.

On the donation side, both sites could use a few vinyl covered mattresses that make it easier to clean.

Pillows and blankets are also welcomed as well as cash for necessary purchases. Cash donations are eligible for charitable receipts from the SA. “The kitchens at both locations will be operating and we have a great group of local seniors who are doing the cooking.”

Bobolo said the Warm Welcome program was

starting a little earlier this year because, “last year, if you remember, November was pretty cold, all the way through. This year it was felt there was a need to not get caught short again, so we’re starting in the middle of the month.

“We’re trying to be a good servant for the community. If we grow this service, we can serve one another.

We also get to grow as individuals and learn a little about ourselves when we take care of our own,” Bobolo noted.

Several Estevan elementary schools are conducting bake sales to raise funds for the shelter and last year school kids made Christmas cards for the shelter guests, while other volunteer groups knitted some winter sweaters for the season.

“The community is showing us how they’re coming on board with this project. Ronza, at our office, keeps track of the volunteer schedule on our Facebook page and that shows the time slots that are vacant where we need some help. Just check us there, or give us a call at 306-634-2074 if you’re interested in volunteering some time and having some fun,” Bobolo said.

⇠A1 Since that vote, City council had committed to the philosophy of the change but was hung up on how to implement the reduction. The questions were put to the newly reformed Estevan Traffic Committee this past summer, as council sought a recommendation from the group focused on Estevan traffic issues.

After the issue was sent to that committee, there was an expectation, as Mayor Roy Ludwig previously said, that the issue would be resolved during budget deliberations in December, and the changes would take effect next spring when signage could be installed.

Estevan Police Chief Paul Ladouceur noted the vote was meant to give council an idea of what the public’s thoughts were. The results were non-binding.

The result, with a vote differential of less than one per cent, was rather inconclusive.

Once the issue was sent to the traffic committee, the chief said they had to approach the issue from an evidence-based frame of mind to figure out what the end result of any decision will be.

“Is our goal to reduce collisions within the city?” asked Ladouceur. “It’s not like we’re seeing a huge increase in pedestrians get-

vote for the next step.

Coun. Kevin Smith, who sits on both the Estevan Traffic Committee and the Board of Police Commissioners, said he supported the views of former police Chief Del Block, who advocated a reduction in speed, and that he will support the recommendation of the current chief.

Ladouceur noted there has been a lot of change since 2012 at the provincial level to deal with speeding.

A public forum was hosted in Estevan by a provincial committee that canvassed the province on what traffic changes were necessary.

New regulations were eventually rolled out on June 27 focusing on excessive speeding, passenger safety, booster seats, vehicle impoundment and impaired driving.

“There has been a lot of change over the last two years, and I think with that amount of change, we certainly have to take a hard look at what we’re doing here,” said Ladouceur.

“We need to focus on where are we reducing speeds and why are we reducing them?” he added, pointing to Kensington Avenue and Fourth Street as the biggest problem areas, though speeds on those streets would not be subject to the proposed speed reductions.

Animals are Lots of factors impact decision not confined ⇠A1 that could be a result of a rabies infection. “(The owner) is asked to keep an eye on them. If they are working animals, like horses, then they may be able to use them but use precautions, avoid exposure to saliva and look at the horse before you get on it,” said Bischop.

He said like any other animal, a horse’s symptoms may start with some behavior that’s out of the ordinary.

In horses those changes tend to make them dull and they may become weak.

Between January and August this year there have been seven other rabies cases reported. Four of those involved bats and three cases were found in skunks.

Though it is rare, there was one case involving a rabid horse in both 2012 and 2011.

As far as the current quarantine, the horses haven’t been moved anywhere and will continue to be monitored by their owner.

“In an ideal world, they’re separated and people keep an eye on them. Certainly, when you have a few horses it’s easier to do that compared to 500 cows or something,” said Bischop.

“With large animals we tend to leave them where they are. If they’re on a pasture, well, then nothing else is getting exposed, so that’s generally the terms of large animal quarantine. They don’t have to be confined within a building.”

ting struck within Estevan’s residential areas.”

Ladouceur added that the problem of speed, and what he considers to be the larger problem of aggressive driving, is more complex than what that solution of a speed reduction might suggest. When it comes to aggressive driving, speed limits do little to change behaviour.

“If you’ve got an aggressive driver, they’re not going to obey any of it.

Regardless, they’ll squeal their tires and they’ll drive irresponsibly, and they’ll drive aggressively.”

That aggressive driving, though it may involve speeding, is a completely different issue than motorists simply exceeding the posted speed limits. Its answer may be one of enforcing the rules of the road rather than changing the rules of the road.

Though Ladouceur didn’t say what decision has been reached, a recommendation has been decided on by the traffic committee, and that will be presented to city council at its next regular meeting on Nov. 24.

“We are not in a position to go public with that recommendation until our own council has heard it, so stay tuned,” said Ladouceur.

He added that whatever the recommendation is, like the plebiscite, it is non-binding and councillors will have to

Discussions among the traffic members of the Estevan Police Service has been at the heart of the process, said Ladouceur, and as part of those discussions, EPS has increased its focus on traffic enforcement in residential areas. He said they have received complaints about speeders in various neighbourhoods, but when they have a presence there, sometimes in unmarked cars, the EPS isn’t actually witnessing violators.

Ladouceur chalks that up to people’s perception of speed as opposed to a vehicle’s actual speed.

“It’s natural. Any good, protective parent is going to look at any vehicle passing and say they’re going too fast,” he said. As a parent himself, he does the same thing.

The process started with taking the public input that showed about half of the city had enough concern about speed that the issue needed to be looked at.

Ladouceur said that concern has been combined with all the other data, knowledge and experience to come up with a decision.

When the matter does return to council on Nov. 24, there may prove to be more than one school of thought on what to do about speeding.

Whatever the decision, the issue will remain alive.

Artists judged best in show

By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca

Though there aren’t winners and losers in the art world, when it comes to an adjudicator, decisions have to be made and a pair of selections have to be announced.

When it came time to announce the selections from this year’s Estevan Arts Council’s Adjudicated Art Show, two artists and their work stood out: Sharon Olson and Harvey Steeves.

Both submitted pieces wildly different from the other, yet they each created pieces that evoked memories, emotions and a desire for exploration. Olson’s pieces included five large paintings, abstract but still comprehensible as the aerial images of the South Saskatchewan River near Saskatoon that she took her inspiration from. Steeves’ selection of photographs display the mystery and wonder of the unknown with a deep look into what appears to be uninhabited forest.

The selections were made by adjudicator Ward Schell of Moose Jaw, who announced the pair of standouts at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum where all of the art show submissions are available for viewing until Dec. 19.

Schell said artists are courageous not for displaying their work publicly but rather for the act of creating something from a place of personal experience and perspective. He said the submissions were excellent, and he isn’t always a fan of selecting winners when it comes to creative expression.

“There’s a better way to talk to people about their art,” he said, but added that the process is still important for artists because an adjudicator gives them a second pair of professional eyes to review a piece.

“Art is about seeing, interpretation and vocalizing it through a medium.”

Turning to Olson’s work, Schell pointed to

Sharon Olson, selected as one of the top two artists at this year’s Estevan Arts Council Adjudicated Art Show, poses in front of her work shortly after the announcement at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum on Saturday evening. how well the pieces worked in a series of five paintings, calling the submissions “quite sophisticated.”

Olson, a school teacher in Caronport, said the images were inspired by aerial satellite images of the river she found on Google Earth.

Her students call Google Earth Mrs. Olson’s magic school bus. ”I just find them very interesting and changeable. Everything is always changing in the river, so it’s my way of recording what was there,” said Olson.

In that sense, the paintings play as snapshots of the past, documenting the shape of the land and flow of the river at a particular moment.

Though the paintings are inspired by those aerial images, the works themselves are abstract, with flowing blue strokes swirling around greens and whites.

“The interesting shapes that you see in Google Earth that you don’t necessarily see on the ground because of the perspective, I find very interesting.”

She said the shapes seen looking down at the Earth from above are all very organic and natural.

in nature. Pointing at the first piece she completed, Olson said it was the weird shapes of the landscape that struck her.

“I really enjoyed it and I thought I’d like to paint it.”

She didn’t paint it for a few years until she decided it was time to put brush to canvas.

After her first piece she did another two over the following summer, when she found the time to paint. With more experience now, she returned to her first piece, which she decided could use more work.

“I reworked it quite a bit, adding more depth and texture to it,” she said.

With the art show submissions ranging widely in style, from painting and photography, to sculpture, fabric art and weaving, Schell noted he hasn’t dabbled in many of the media, but an artists’ sense of form, composition and colour remains the same.

“We speak the same language,” he said.

When it came to Steeves, who was not present for the announcement on Saturday, Schell said the conversation the two had about the work elevated it

“The explanation and decision-making was checking off a lot of boxes of challenging creativity and the unknown,” said Schell, who added experimentation was “high risk.”

Steeves’ images include no post-production work, so all of the effects are made in the camera and required a lot of experimentation.

“They are haunting,” Schell said of the images, “but I want to go in there.

I want to go in there and discover.”

The art show exhibit features Olson and Steeves’ works along with submissions from Emily Gillies, Diane Hume, Kayla Hanson, Cathy Wysman, Marleen Vicary, Sheila Farstad, Irene Roy, Cheryl Andrist and Kathryn Roberton.

To those artists, Schell invoked the words of one of

Post secondary day provides a flurry of information

By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca

Well over 350 Grade 11 and 12 students from southeast Saskatchewan had the opportunity to explore their post-secondary schooling options on Nov. 5 at the Estevan Comprehensive School.

More than 30 continuing education facilities set up information tables in the school’s central courtyard with many of them offering afternoon audio/visual presentations in separate sessions that better explained their class options and campus ambiance.

The Post Secondary Education fair “is our smaller version of the larger Career Fair we hosted last year,” said Stacy Dutka, student services counsellor at ECS. “We invite post-secondary institutions to speak with our Grade 11 and 12 students. We also invite professionals for the trades and health fields to speak to them.”

Senior students from Arcola and Lampman Schools were invited to attend with over 20 Arcola students making the trip to Estevan along with 30 or more from Lampman.

Each student was afforded time to attend at least two of the special presentations as well as an opportunity to visit any or all of the information tables.

One visiting student, Emilie Craig of Arcola, said she had several questions she had put to rest after visiting with University of Saskatchewan and Brandon University representatives.

With a nursing career in mind, Craig said she has been gathering information about both these institutions and then added a third, Medicine Hat College, to her list during the day.

RCMP recruiter Amos

Brenda Fiddler of the Gabriel Dumont Institute had good advice for all potential students, especially those with a First Nations or Métis background who were attending the ECS Post Secondary Education Day. McArthur reported some inquiries were made regarding policing programs and what his branch of the policing service provides including the administration of entrance exams and provincial presentations and an F Division Depot youth camp.

Vanessa Leon, Andrea Eccleston and Terice Coleman were kept very busy at the two tables set up by the U of S as was Josephine Moellenbeck, representing Brandon University, another favourite of ECS graduates along with the U of S and University of Regina.

Kaitlyn Degroote, a recruiter for the lesser known Lakeland College was particularly interested in spreading the word about their institution’s health sciences programs.

David Slywka was answering questions regarding the Canadian military and its various branches and opportunities in the regular service or as a reservist.

locations, including their college in Prince Albert.

“We don’t want to set up young First Nations or Métis people for failure, so we offer a lot of assistance regarding career choices.

We’d even like to connect with the Grade 10 kids be-

cause it’s right around that time in their lives they start to make decisions. We’d like to help them choose their elective subjects through their guidance counsellors so they’re not wasting credits or time. We want them to get the credits and courses

they want and need to pursue the careers they favour,” said Fiddler.

“I think we’re getting the job done here today,” said Dutka. “Most of the kids are saying they’re getting the information they wanted.”

Vienna Boys Choir will make tour stop in Energy City One of the world’s most prestigious choral groups will be making Estevan one of their tour stops on Nov. 23.

T h e Vi e n n a B o y s Choir, founded in 1498, will be on stage in St. Paul’s United Church starting at 7:30 p.m. Advance tickets for the event are available at Henders Drugs.

The choir ’s history is heavy with decades of travel and music. It features the brightest and clearest young voices of Europe.

Emperor Maximillian I moved his court and its musicians to Vienna just prior to the 14 th century giving instructions that

there were to be six singing boys among the musicians. Thus, the choir was founded as the Vienna Hofmusikkapelle that became the Vienna Boys Choir.

There are about 100 young choristers today between the ages of 10 and 14, and they are divided into four touring choirs that give up to 300 performances each year in front of more than 500,000 people.

Their repertoire includes everything from medieval to contemporary and experimental music.

The choir has its own arrangements of quintessentially Viennese music

such as waltzes and polkas by Lehar, Lanner and Strauss.

The concert is being brought into the Energy City by the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts Councils and their Stars for Saskatchewan programming arm. OSAC presents over 300 live community and school concerts during the course of the year with approximately 75,000 people in the province enjoying the results of their programming.

Assistance is provided

by Saskatchewan Lotteries, Saskatchewan Arts Council, Canadian Heritage and the City of Estevan.

The world-renowned Vienna Boys Choir is making a special appearance in Estevan on Nov. 23 as part of a Stars for Saskatchewan series schedule. The concert is at St. Paul’s United Church starting at 7:30 p.m.

Thinking about food at a snail’s pace SLOW FOOD COMING TO ESTEVAN?

By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca

Food is the perfect target of big industry, because we all need something to eat every day. But as the industry has grown and changed, there has been a growing group of producers who cling to age-old traditions, believing that growing and distributing food is best managed from a community perspective that maintains quality and sustainability at its core.

While there are many off shoots of the produce local, buy local mindset, one of those movements is Slow Food. As North Portal’s Nicole Davis explains it, slow food is the counterweight to fast food.

Though she runs the Daybreak Mill, an organic mill outside of North Portal, Davis is connected to the Slow Food organization through the chapter in Saskatoon.

At the end of October, she attended Terra Madre, translated as Mother Earth, as Saskatchewan’s Slow Food delegate. The conference included more than 3,000 delegates, representatives, press and public who wanted to see what ideas would be spawned this year. Pope Francis sent a greeting to the participants and United States First Lady Michelle Obama, an advocate of healthy eating, provided a video message.

First held in 2004 and every two years since then, Terra Madre was hosted in Turin from Oct. 23 to 27.

Slow Food was created

in 1986 by Italian Carlo Petrini, born out of his and others protests against the installation of a MacDonald’s near the Spanish Steps in Rome.

It’s no secret that families and individuals are eating less food made in the home, and almost no food produced by individual households. Gardens are

not eating on the go. It’s about really taking the time to enjoy what you’re eating and realizing that it’s nourishing your body,” said Davis.

“There are Slow Food groups all over the world,” she added. “(The Saskatoon group) sent us over there, and there’s food and drink from all over the world. It

an almost entirely forgotten addition to a property, more meals are eaten outside the home and of the meals eaten at home, an unhealthy portion are simply heated up in the microwave or oven. The amount of actual kitchen time required to prepare supper is always shrinking. It’s getting faster, but what Slow Food and others are warning, is that the increased efficiency isn’t doing anything to increase our health or gastronomic experience.

“Slow Food is the opposite of fast food. It’s about getting back to growing your own food or knowing the people who grow your food, cooking with your family. Sitting down and enjoying your meal,

was a massive event.”

There were plenty of workshops for the attendees to take part in, and Davis went to one in particular about the Slow Food Youth Movement, which Petrini spoke at.

“He talked about how he feels good leaving the slow food movement in the hands of the youth and all the cool things they’re doing.”

Another session was presented by celebrity chef Jamie Oliver.

that should probably be changed,” said Davis.

The trend away from mass-produced food from factory farms and processing plants is slowly making its way into southeastern Saskatchewan and the Estevan area. The Farmers’ Market has been a Saturday morning staple for years, but another step was taken this summer with the addition of a community garden in the city.

“I would definitely like to start something up in Estevan,” said Davis, who has already approached healthfood businesses in the city about creating a local chapter. There are 33 Slow Food chapters across Canada, but Saskatoon is the only one in Saskatchewan.

“A really cool thing that Slow Food does is that they’re really relaxed.

You don’t have to have meetings and take minutes.

It’s as simple as having a potluck dinner with friends and talking about things you can do,” said Davis, who said groups may have two or three events a year.

One of the things she

said the group could do is make Disco Soup, which is made from produce at local grocery stores that is never put on the shelves because it is bruised or showing some other blemish that makes it less desirable to most consumers.

“It’s edible to eat, but you just don’t see it. They go and they get this food from grocery stores, they cut off the bruised parts and put it in the soup and have a party about it. Everybody who comes gets a free meal and learns about food waste and how, maybe, it’s not so necessary.

“We don’t have a lot of options available yet, but there are a lot of people who are super interested in learning more about their food, getting more connected with what’s on their plate. I do see it as a growing movement in Estevan,” added Davis, who expects it to continue to grow.

Those who are interested in learning more about their food and the Slow Food movement may contact Davis at nicole@ daybreakmill.com

A vote for democracy is disappearing Yesterday citizens across Canada had the opportunity to pay homage to those who died in the name of democracy.

It seems as if we are taking our democracies for granted on a more frightening scale these past few years.

When the call goes out for us to take a few minutes to educate ourselves regarding provincial and federal events and then cast a vote in favour of a candidate who best represents our views of these unfolding events … we can’t be bothered.

About one-third of the eligible voters turn out to cast ballots.

It’s a shameful response, especially in light of the fact that a good percentage of the population declare themselves to be disinterested in what is happening to them on the local, provincial and federal fronts.

Their attitude is usually expressed in terms such as “someone else is taking care of that,” or “it doesn’t matter, my vote won’t count and they’ll just do what they want to do anyway,” or even worse, “there’s an election? Where? Gee, I didn’t know about that. Oh well, guess I missed it.”

On the local levels, the results are dismal.

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

Don't expect big changes You may be surprised to know that the government was selling alcohol in Saskatchewan long before the CCF-NDP. Government here has been peddling booze for nearly a century now – a government entity almost older than the legislative building itself.

It was 1915, 18 years before the creation of CCF, when the province's first premier Walter Scott thought it necessary to close retail bar sales and make the provincial government the sole authority for retail liquor sales.

No doubt, Scott was the first in a long line of Saskatchewan premiers to recognize the benefits of being in the booze business, although his foray into the alcohol business did not last long. A year later, three quarters of Saskatchewan voted in favour of prohibition that would last from 1917 until 1924.

It might also be a surprise to know we have also had a system of private liquor sales for nearly as long as the CCF-NDP has existed.

The recent call to the polls to elect rural municipal candidates attracted only a smattering of interest and voters.

A byelection vote in Weyburn to select a new public school board trustee two weeks ago, resulted in fewer than 150 votes being cast from a list of probably more than 3,000 eligible voters. We’re certain a similar call in Estevan would provide about the same turnout.

Apathetic voters have already cost us elected representation in the healthcare boardrooms. Provincial governments used to call regional health-care board elections, and nobody showed up.

They recognized the weakness of the population so they happily and simply replaced elected board members with docile appointed representatives who receive their marching orders from the provincial ministry without any whimpers of concern or questions. At least they won’t raise them if they want to remain on the board.

But we, the general population, don’t care. The appointees seem to be doing a good enough job, whatever that’s supposed to be, and we don’t care that we don’t know

about that either. We’ll raise our concerns, if we have any, with the MLA, if we care to find out who that is.

Yes, apathy is contagious.

In other sectors, the scenario can get even worse. Elected representatives are simply replaced by hired administrative hands when apathy appears and there doesn’t even need to be a perceived show of population representation.

The show goes on, and we’re too lazy to even seem to care that we have lost another little chunk of democracy that was fought for by those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

It seems as if we don’t like that torch of democracy so much.

Maybe we believe we’ll get burned by the flame. Rest assured, there are factions out there who would be most pleased to douse that flame. Unfortunately, we’re making that job pretty easy for them.

We’re more interested in casting votes on Canadian Idol or a television and online courted Hockey Town or sports Celebration Tour.

But a vote for democracy? Ah, maybe next time … if there is one.

It started in 1935, with the Liquor Act that allowed the sale of beer in glasses in hotel bars, clubs and canteens and the “offsale” of beer in packages. (However, it took until 2002 before off-sales were allowed to also sell spirits.)

It might also surprise you that rural Saskatchewan has always led the way in this province's liquor sales innovation. In 1965, the law changed so “suitable persons” could become liquor store vendors in rural communities. Today in Saskatchewan, there are some 190 such liquor franchise to go along with 450 off-sale locations, four full private liquor stores and 75 government stores.

But it may surprise you even more to know that government will remain heavily involved in liquor sales regardless of which option is chosen among the five models now put forward by the province.

In releasing his discussion paper on the future of alcohol sales, Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) Minister Don McMorris outlined five options that ranged from increasing the number of public liquor stores, to the status quo, to slightly more aggressive private participation, to full on privatized liquor sales like Alberta.

It sounds like it has the potential for incredibly drastic change, but it really doesn’t.

For starters, the Saskatchewan Party government has ruled out more public liquor as relayed in its most recent throne speech.

That would suggest it is hell-bent on handing over the liquor business to the private sector, but the Saskatchewan Party is not quite as eager as some may think.

McMorris made two things very clear in his discussion paper: First, his government has no intention on seeing any less in annual revenue and would like to see much more in booze revenue in the future.

Second, his government has absolutely no interest in any changes to the government’s lucrative wholesale distribution business or its liquor taxation rates and pricing policies.

For example, the Sask. Party government still intends to apply its existing mark-up rate on a bottle of booze – the ad valorem system in which a percentage is applied to the wholesale price from the supplier that is as much as 167 per cent on spirits and 125 per cent on wine.

This compares with the flat rate of $20 a bottle in private stores in Alberta, the only province in the country that uses a flat rate.

This is really why we pay $150 on a bottle Scotch here (its wholesale cost of $40 or $50 may be marked up 167 per cent) that may only cost $90 in Alberta.

But the Sask. Party government – hit

by US $77-a-barrel oil it thought would be $93 – has no interest in forgoing this liquor revenue.

So what's most likely to come out of this discussion paper is what you've seen for 100 years – booze with a generous mix of government involvement in Saskatchewan.

A walk down Lean practices pointing memory lane to financial progress Norm Park

Only 12 per cent of today’s elementary and high school students walk or bike to their schools on a regular schedule.

How sad is that!

That means 88 per cent are getting a ride and as a result, are completely missing out on one of the best experiences a young person can have.

Walking to school can be an enjoyable adventure and, I’m sorry dear diary, our streets are not filled with predators. The route is safe, even in winter.

Wouldn’t you like to see our local sidewalks teeming with over 2,000 youngsters wending their way to respective schools with their backpacks and satchels? A little activity would probably be welcomed. Right now, what we see are bored-looking kids, stomping their feet in the cold, generally ignoring one another as they stare at phones or down the street, looking for a school bus that will pick them up.

They might stand there 10 to 15 minutes for the ride that will take them four or five blocks to the school while they could be walking and probably arriving at their destination faster than the bus riding kids.

From the earliest years right on to high school, I can’t recall riding to school in a vehicle more than a dozen times.

In elementary school, it just wasn’t necessary. I lived less than two blocks from the school, so my mom had no trepidation in sending me out on my own, even in Grade 1 (no kindergarten, the school was already jammed). I always stopped at my friend’s house, three doors down and we would walk to school together. We continued that trend right through high school, often being joined by others who were using the same mode of transportation. There were 350 kids in our high school and maybe one dozen student vehicles in the parking lot, belonging to kids who lived on the outskirts of the town or nearby rural areas not served by school bus.

Our after school pedestrian journey took us downtown where we tended to our after-school jobs in stores.

We hated it sometimes, when it was bitterly cold. The walk to the high school was about five or six blocks. We always made it. Nobody had to send out rescue parties.

We played stupid word games en route. We even had a word association game similar to the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon that precluded the Bacon regime by a decade or so.

We should have filed a copyright.

About every six or seven years Rudy and I will get together and almost immediately, before the first drink is consumed, fall into one of these stupid games that still befuddle our respective wives. We can barely make sense of them, so how could they? But we know the crazy rules, even after all these years.

Five years ago Rudy and I made our way back to the home town for it’s 100th anniversary. We walked from the rink, to the school and the town auditorium for a loooong evening of celebration and around 3 a.m. decided enough was enough. He had his old house to retreat to. I had a motel room waiting about three blocks further on. So we set out walking, and as we crossed the Bosworth Street intersection, two blocks from the school, Rudy mumbled the name Pete Rozelle. I countered with NFL rules. He countered that with Paul Horning and suddenly, our stupid word game was on, 15 years after the last time we played.

We laughed, walked and remembered when getting to school was more than half the fun.

All Things Considered

The Editor, By now you’ve probably heard about some big bills paid by the Wall government on “lean” health care consultants.

Critics have taken some of the more questionable bills associated with the spending and suggested the project is a colossal waste of money. But how does the big picture look? Well, internal government documents obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation suggest things actually look pretty good so far.

Before discussing what the documents revealed, it should be noted that the Wall government is doing the right thing by looking at ambitious ways to reform the health care system.

The bottom line is that unless the health care system undergoes serious reform, it will collapse in the long run as our population ages. A report by the Canadian Institute of Actuaries in late 2013 predicted that unless there is significant health reform, health care spending will grow to represent “103 per cent” of total provincial revenues by 2037. In other words, yikes.

Those complaining about the government’s lean consultants should know that lean process reform is not something dreamed up by the Wall government, it’s taught in management schools around the world. In fact, even Manitoba’s NDP government is busy implementing lean practices in health care.

The internal documents we obtained suggest things are actually heading in the right direction. As of February 2014, $26 million had been spent on lean consultants while $40 million had been saved due to their advice, assistance and workshops.

Further, lean process changes have not only reduced costs, they’ve improved service levels in many areas for

Sask. Catholic Health Association weighs in on right to die The Editor, On the surface, it sounds reasonable and harmless. Shouldn’t a terminally ill patient be able to choose when and how to die? The problem is that individual choices are never made in a vacuum. They impact other people and have far-reaching implications for society.

The call for people to be allowed to die on their own terms (assisted suicide) or to be allowed to end another person’s life in order to eliminate suffering (euthanasia) has serious implications. Seeing this issue as simply a question of personal choice diminishes the respect for human life that is a fundamental value.

Allowing euthanasia and assisted suicide would erode the basic trust that human life will be protected, and would become difficult to limit to terminal illness or end-of-life care. It could marginalize people whose lives might be seen as having less value.

patients.

For example, lessons learned from consultant workshops have led to changes at the X-ray division at the Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon. While patients used to wait “over an hour” for service, they now only have to wait only “22 minutes.” And if you’re trying to register for a pediatric appointment in Saskatchewan, registration time is down from “eight minutes” to just “two minutes.”

Using new technology and redesigning workplaces have led to many of these improvements. In one example, the analysis noted that “moving the location of patient chart and supplies closer to the patient room” led to a reduction in nurses’ walking distance from 300 to 132 feet. This resulted in “less time searching for supplies and increased opportunity for direct patient care.”

Similarly, the Saskatchewan Disease Control Laboratory was able to “cut turnaround time for test results by 26 hours; a 68 per cent reduction (from approximately 40 hours to 12 hours)” by redesigning their processes. This led to patients waiting shorter periods of time to hear lab results.

The documents also note that prior to a workshop involving Saskatoon Cancer Clinic staff, a housekeeper was “able to clean 2.7 infection control rooms per hour.” After the workshops, things were restructured so that productivity increased to “3.15 infection control rooms” per hour.

Make no mistake, the Wall government’s ambitious lean project is probably not perfect; no massive reform ever is. But there are plenty of signs things are heading in the right direction. Even if the critics don’t want to admit it.

Proponents use euphemisms such as “medical aid in dying” and “dying with dignity” that do not negate the fact that euthanasia is the deliberate taking of someone’s life in order to end suffering, with or without that person’s consent, and that assisted suicide is the act of intentionally providing someone with the knowledge or means to commit suicide.

Bottom line: killing is not part of good health care. Human beings do not lose their dignity when they are ill or dying. Rather than hastening their death, we should be helping them to live as well and as comfortably as possible until their natural time of death.

We are not required to do everything possible to stay alive as long as possible. Respecting a person’s choice to refuse burdensome treatment is NOT euthanasia. Neither is letting someone die naturally by withholding or withdrawing medical

treatment when the burdens outweigh the benefits. Administering enough medication to provide pain relief is also NOT euthanasia, even if the higher dose of the medication might shorten the person’s life.

What’s important here is the intent – to reduce suffering, rather than to hasten death. With euthanasia, the intention is to cause death.

Instead of pressing for legalization of euthanasia and assisted suicide, we ought to insist on palliative care, which, for persons facing the reality of impending death, offers holistic care, comfort, support, and relief from pain and distressing symptoms.

Good palliative care honours the true sense of “dying with dignity” and “a good death.”

Estevan Mercury

Mayors wonder where infrastructure money will come from at SUMA

By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca

Following another round of discussions among provincial cities at the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association (SUMA) mayors’ caucus meeting at the end of October, city heads were left with more questions than answers.

Infrastructure is often the focus of the meetings, and these discussions didn’t disappoint in that regard, said Estevan Mayor Roy Ludwig.

For smaller cities in Saskatchewan, those under 100,000 like Estevan, the mayor said there continues to be questions and uncertainty around the federal government’s Building Canada Fund.

“We’re still not sure of the parameters around the Building Canada Fund,” noted Ludwig, who said the City will be continuing discussions with SourisMoose Mountain MP Ed Komarnicki to get a better sense of how Komarnicki’s governing Conservative Party expects municipalities to cash in on the infrastructure program.

“The process has been a very slow one, a long one. We still haven’t found exactly what it means for us, for the City of Estevan,” added Ludwig.

He said their issues generally revolve around the different aspects of the fund, which includes the National Infrastructure Component, $4 billion, and the Provincial-Territorial Infrastructure Component, which is $10 billion in total with $1 billion committed to cities under 100,000 people. Along with the P3, public-private partnership, portion administered by PPP Canada, and the Community Improvement Fund, there is more than $47 billion the federal government is making available.

“It sounds great, but when you filter all that down, what does it mean to the smaller communities?” asked Ludwig, who said thus far they don’t really know. “We don’t have a hard number on that yet, so that’s what we’re working on. We’re still in waiting mode.”

On the provincial lobbying side, Ludwig said the members of SUMA are continuing to push the

Roy Ludwig province for an affordable, sustainable infrastructure program to be put in place.

“We’re still working on that, because the province tends to infer that we use the revenue sharing for infrastructure, but that was

never what it was intended for,” said Ludwig.

Estevan received $2.35 million through the sharing program in the 2013-14 tax year.

“With the infrastructure needs across our growing province, and the fact that we haven’t done as much as we should have for the last 20 to 30 years, the infrastructure deficit is enormous,” said Ludwig. “The communities have to address it so we can continue to facilitate the demands for growth. That’s a great thing but we need more help than what we’ve been getting.”

He said the province has hinted there will be some sort of matching program with the federal Building Canada Fund, but added with some stress that this

brings the issue back to the federal fund cities have so many continuing questions about.

“We’re kind of chasing our tail right now, but we’ll be sitting down with Ed,” Ludwig said.

When the questions around infrastructure dollars are ironed out, Ludwig said there are a number of projects Estevan may pursue.

The issue Ludwig first identified, aside from upgrading aging infrastructure, was an upgrade to the wastewater treatment plant.

“We’re getting a biosolids building in place, and then we’re also looking at the needed upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant.”

Ludwig noted the City

gives a byproduct to Shand through the lagoons, but because of the product they receive, it costs them a lot of money to convert the effluent to something they are able to use.

“We’re looking at a win-win situation with the Shand Power Plant whereby we can improve our processes as we do our upgrades and at the same time give them a better product, saving them money,” said Ludwig. He said those upgrades may include some split of the project costs through the partnership between Shand and the City.

Another ongoing issue for cities everywhere is that of trash and garbage disposal. Landfills took up a chunk of the conversation as landfills across the province, including Estevan’s, are in need of what Ludwig called “revamping.”

“That’s another stressor on the smaller cities.

Where do we get the money to do all these needed improvements?” asked the mayor.

“As we move forward with these new regulations, it’s interesting, because we’ve talked before, lots of times we get provincial regulations updated and federal regulations, but they don’t come with corresponding money. It comes on our plate.”

He noted the landfill in Estevan has a clay base and is a little different from many across the province because of the coal mining in the area. Once the coal is removed, what’s left is that clay base, which Ludwig said is nearly impenetrable.

It’s unclear if that clay will meet the new provincial standards or if some other work will be necessary.

Member Show features local artists

By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca

The Estevan Art Gallery and Museum’s annual exhibition of local artists opened over the weekend as the EAGM’s Member Show opened along with the Estevan Art Council’s Adjudicated Art Show.

The member’s installation is in Gallery 2 and features 10 artists from the area, along with a mix of painting, sculpture, photography and fabric works.

EAGM curator Ali King noted the submission process is loose, requiring only that artists are members of the gallery and limiting the submissions to two pieces. She said it’s a great way for the art gallery to showcase their members while encouraging new membership.

The curator added the open forum also allows people to bring work in progress. Not everything must be polished for public consumption, opening a window into the artistic process of some of the artists.

“It’s just to see what people are engaged in right now. What’s great is we’ve got quite a few people in the show who exhibited last year, but they’re exhibiting new works. It’s nice to see how people are progressing in their work and how they’re doing,” said King.

But there is a selection of artists not only new to the Member Show, but relatively new as artists themselves.

“I’m thrilled,” said King. “Jayne Himsel and Jo Ann Fahlman, they’re two brand new artists.”

Himsel and Fahlman both hail from Weyburn, and the EAGM Member Show includes artists across southeast Saskatchewan.

King said she stumbled across Himsel’s work at

WHO

IS A

the Art Farm, an open artist collective held near Weyburn annually.

“We don’t always see submissions from other communities but we’re always very, very happy to see them,” noted King.

“Jo Ann’s a really interesting artist. She just started painting a year ago, and she’s self taught. She hasn’t done it in any serious way (before). She’s extremely prolific. She has produced a lot of paintings, and she’s learning all the time, so her style has changed a lot. It’s wonderful. She has just really discovered this passion she has.”

Fahlman has a show upcoming in Saskatoon, noted King.

“She has a lot of exciting things going on, and all this, from one year ago.”

On piece by Alyson Haukeness deals with her and her family’s experience with flooding.

“It was obviously a tragic and difficult time for them, so it’s quite an emotional painting for her,” said King.

Aaron Salamon, whose sculptures last year won him recognition at the Adjudicated Art Show, has another couple of pieces on display at this year’s Member Show.

Salamon said since the show last year, he hasn’t had that much time to prepare new works, but the two sculptures featured in the Member Show are examples of what he has been up to.

“This is pretty much it,” he joked. “I’ve done a few smaller ones, but this is about all I’ve done in the last year. Next year’s going to be much better.”

He said he has to devote more time this year but is excited about the prospect. His work will be featured in an upcoming

Jo Ann Fahlman is a new artist, painting seriously only in the last year, and has two pieces on display as part of the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum’s Member Show. The above piece is entitled Evening Stroll near Stoughton, SK. exhibition at the EAGM in 2016.

“It sounds like a long ways away, but for the hours it takes to do these, it’s a pretty tight schedule,” said Salamon.

He sculpts from stone, and selects the type of stone that specifically suits the final piece. An eagle he is exhibiting, a piece called Freedom, he said came from a stone that was already the proper shape.

“You could say, it wanted to be the eagle. The

beak was already sticking out. I just had to form it a little bit and clean it up, take off some defects,” he said.

“He is an emerging artist, who again, hasn’t been practicing long,” said King. “These are people who have no formal training but are interested in doing something creative with their time, and this is a great platform for them to show their work.”

The Member Show will run in Gallery 2 until Dec. 19.

A glimpse into another life TAKE YOUR KID TO WORK DAY OFFERS ECS STUDENTS A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca

One will never know until they experience it for themselves.

Estevan Comprehensive School students in Grade 9 participated in Take Your Kid to Work Day on Nov. 5, where they experienced what it was like to endure a full-day’s work at their parent’s work place.

Rylie Conquergood of ECS shadowed his mother Anusha, who is the assistant branch manager at CIBC in Estevan.

“I knew for the most part what she did, but not entirely,” he said, adding the hands-on experience with customers and, of course, the money, helped him fully realize what his mother does at work.

Anusha said she was looking forward to showing her son the inner-workings of the bank vault.

“That was an exciting experience,” she said.

“We sometimes come home exhausted, mentally and physically,” she said.

“It’s nice for (Rylie) to value what (his parents) do and to appreciate where I am in life.”

Isabel Marcotte was at St. Joseph’s Hospital where her mother Vanessa Marcotte, director of finances,

works. During the morning hours, Isabel shadowed Darrel Sydiaha, an exercise therapist. Together they assessed and treated injured patients.

Working in the health field is something Isabel looks forward to pursuing through a post-secondary environment.

“I enjoy helping people and learning about how you can treat injuries,” she said.”

“That’s an important skill anyone can use,” his mother said, while stressing the importance of customer satisfaction at work.

Pat Fergusson, student counsellor at ECS, said participation was high this year and was pleased by the overall outcome of the event.

Gateway Cities Golf Club Inc. PO Box 124 North Portal, SK S0C 1W0 Village of North Portal PO Box 119 North Portal, SK S0C 1W0 Canadian Pacific Railway Company, 7550 Ogdendale Rd SE Calgary, AB T2C 4X9 Notice is hereby given that not less than thirty days from the date of service of this notice, the Council of the: Village of North Portal intends to pass a bylaw pursuant to the provisions of The Heritage Property Act, to designate as Municipal Heritage Property the following real property known as: Gateway Cities Golf Course, legally described as:

Stock car racer Riley Raynard (centre) helps present a $1,000 cheque for muscular dystrophy with Deputy Fire Rescue Service chief Dale Feser, Captain Rick Davies and Captain Charles Olsen. Feser presented the cheque in Edmonton at the 2014 Prairie Firefighter Chapter Conference and Recognition Banquet on Nov. 7

Battling muscular dystrophy A local firefighter represented Estevan and made a special presentation during the 2014 Prairie Firefighter Chapter Conference and Recognition Banquet in Edmonton on Nov. 7 and 8.

Deputy Fire Rescue Service chief Dale Feser took with him a $1,000 cheque, which he presented during the Muscular Dystrophy Canada Convention.

The money was accumulated during the Estevan Fire Service’s in-house event during Fire Preven-

tion week, during which $800 was raised by the community for muscular dystrophy, and topped up to $1,000 by the Estevan Fire Rescue Service.

“Currently what I’ve been asked to become for this area is an ambassador for Muscular Dystrophy Canada within our Fire Service, so they invited me to attend the conference,” Feser explained.

The conference in Edmonton is largely about networking with other fire

departments in Canada and seeking new fundraising initiatives for muscular dystrophy, he said.

Feser said his heavy involvement within Muscular Dystrophy Canada began when Tammy Reihl, fundraising and community development co-ordinator for Muscular Dystrophy, encouraged him to become a part of this initiative, believing he would be a good representative for southeast Saskatchewan.

Feser ultimately embraced

the new role.

“We have a few people who have been afflicted with this particular disease here in our city, so we want to make it known that we are here to support them and help find that cure,” he said, noting Riley Raynard, an avid stock car racer who has muscular dystrophy and a well known personality.

“It doesn’t hold him back at all, and we’re very proud to be associated with someone like him,” he said.

The reasons for the proposed designation are as follows:

1. To honour our community’s tradition of international harmony, as the Gateway Cities Golf Course has always been a joint endeavour between the Village of North Portal, Saskatchewan and our sister community, the City of Portal, ND; as well as to preserve the unique Number 9 hole of the course that extends across the American/Canadian border.

2.To preserve the wagon tracks that cross the uncut sod of the course, as they represent the many homesteaders that immigrated to Canada through the Port of North Portal to start a new life in our country.

3.To maintain the aesthetic beauty of our community by ensuring that the park-like setting of the Gateway Cities Golf Club shall be preserved for future generations.

Any person wishing to object to the proposed designation must serve council with a written objection stating the reasons for the objection and all relevant facts not less than three days prior to consideration of the bylaw.

WorkSafe Saskatchewan provided a message of workplace safety at a workshop conducted at the Saskatchewan Energy Training Institute on Nov. 4.

WorkSafe workshop delegates get direct safety messages

By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca

The facts are out and they’re indisputable. More needs to be done in terms of providing safe work sites in Saskatchewan.

With that clear message, a WorkSafe regional workshop was conducted at the Saskatchewan Energy Training Institute in Estevan on Nov. 4 with an agenda that focused on reducing work-related injuries.

Chris Coles, vice-president of Health and Safety Operation for Cenovus, the winner of the 2014 Safe Employer of the Year Award, provided some keynote information to the assembled luncheon audience.

Coles referred to the safety triangle approach the company takes to reduce safety-related incidents and their level of severity.

Underlying causes usually increase the severity levels, he said, and the company he represents had over 3,800 near miss incidents or events that required minor first-aid attention of a period of years. Recordable injuries have been tracked for the past five years.

Across the province, Coles noted that while less severe accident rates are declining, the serious and fatal injuries are flat or rising, which is a cause for concern across all industries.

Cenovus, he noted, had no fatal incidents and only four lost-time injuries among an employee base of several hundred people. They had 26 near misses or minor first-aid happenings.

The characteristics of these incidents are also tracked, and Coles said it was noted the most common causes were employees doing jobs that differ from their regular routines or where high energy sources are present and when a facility is under construction. On-site contractors pose some significant challenges when they don’t necessarily comply with the hiring company’s standards, he said.

The rate of incidents was also tracked on a monthly basis with the higher numbers coming, as expected, during the June to August period.

Coles also said events that could prove to be lifealtering in scope cannot be ignored, and he noted 40 such incidents happened within the company in the past year with 36 of them involving outside contractors. He also said incidents surrounding oil service rigs are still happening at an unacceptable level.

Work such as rigging, completions or activities involving heights, usually bring out the larger risk factors.

“Life saving rules mitigate life-altering incidents,” Coles said in conclusion.

Earlier in the day, Michelle Zyla, senior employer services specialist with the Workers’ Compensation Board, provided information regarding online services

for employers.

“I provided an overview of the options available and the documents required,” she said.

She added that her presentation included such things as references to payroll systems and how WCB submissions need to travel in the chain for approval.

Claims management issues were also provided by Don Seidlitz, the WCB team leader at the workshop.

Randy Seeman, who got to represent two factions, as the United Mine Workers Local 7606 for Westmoreland Coal and Sun Life, said he emphasized on and off-site incidents and how they relate to the insurance coverage.

“I was asked to represent the carrier as well as the work related issues. I think it went all right, but it could be a bit tricky trying to cover both sides,” he said with a grin.

Seeman said on the job, the injured worker or employee who is off the job on health-related matters, is tracked from the moment of injury to the point where they return to work. He said seasonal adjustments are made for work of that nature. He said right now the company with 325 unionized employees and about 400

Michelle Zyla employees in total, are currently tracking 41 cases of injuries or health-related items with 10 of them being long-term items.

The afternoon sessions included an address by Brad Compton, WCB account manager, who spoke on youth statistics and strategies as they related to the workplace and another session by Bob Ross, manager of Enform Saskatchewan, who spoke about raising the bar when it came to work-related safety issues.

Mission Zero and provincial injury statistics were also provided at the workshop that began with opening remarks from Gord Dobrowolsky, WCB chairman.

WorkSafe Saskatchewan is an injury prevention and workplace safety partnership between the WCB and the Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety.

Mission Zero campaigns address the impacts that injuries have on individuals, families and fellow employees.

“Planning and preparation is key when it comes to fixing Saskatchewan’s 26,000 km of highways.”

— Nancy Heppner

Construction season coming to a close Among those activities around the province that are winding down is the construction season, which the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure officially declared to be ending last week.

“The Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure is concluding the 2014 construction season,” said a press release issued on Nov. 6. In total, 837 kilometres of provincial highways saw construction work across Saskatchewan in the calendar year. ”We continue to build the infrastructure that meets the challenges of our growing economy,” Highways and Infrastructure Minister Nancy Heppner said. “We will continue to make sure the residents of Saskatchewan have a safe and reliable highway system.”

Highlights of this year’s construction season include a repaving effort on Highway 39 between Estevan and Macoun, the completion of the new St. Louis Bridge, work on twinning lanes from Saskatoon to west of Clavet and passing lanes between Delisle and Rosetown. There was completion of re-paving on Highway 46. Also, there were rural highway upgrades on Highway 42 from Marquis to Eyebrow, Highway 43 from the junction of Highway 2 to Gravelbourg and Highway 51 from west of Kerrobert to Major.

In addition, work will continue on a number of projects into the 2015 construction season. Included are the West Regina Bypass, 179 km of repaving projects, 230 bridge and

culvert projects and 182 km of major highway upgrades.

While paving projects are wrapping up, some work continues year round.

Over the winter, bridge work benefits from the cold weather. Freeze up allows for structures to be placed directly on the ice, providing a cost-effective way to do the work. Drivers

are reminded to watch for workers and to slow to 60 km/hr in work zones.

As one construction season winds down, the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure said they are already looking ahead to 2015. The Fall Tender Plan was released at the end of September with more than $200 million worth of highway projects.

“Planning and preparation is key when it comes to fixing Saskatchewan’s 26,000 kilometres of highways,” Heppner said. “Early release of tender plans allows contractors to get ready for the next season and the ministry to schedule projects accordingly.”

Assault and flight lead to arrest A 45-year-old Estevan area man was taken into custody by police on Friday night following an alleged assault and subsequent flight from police.

The man was reported to be en route to Estevan from his residence, located a short distance from the city, after having committed an assault with a weapon, causing bodily harm.

Estevan Police Service personnel located his vehicle and attempted a traffic stop, which the driver ignored. A short time later police managed to stop the vehicle and carry out an arrest, with the man being held in custody pending his Nov. 10 court appearance.

The man has been charged with flight from police, dangerous driving, impaired driving and assault with a weapon causing bodily harm.

Earlier in the week, EPS members investigated a hit and run incident at a local lounge parking lot on Nov. 4 and also looked into an incident involving a man who had breached the conditions of his release on a cocaine possession charge. Patrol members, with assistance from the drug detection dog, were involved in the investigation. The man was detained in custody pending a Nov. 6 appearance in a Carnduff courtroom.

A disturbance in the 1100 block of Fourth Street was looked into by police on Nov. 4 with the people involved in the incident being sent on their way, while the matter

was placed under investigation.

Police also stopped a vehicle in the 900 block of Fourth Street that same day.

The man, from Nanaimo, B.C., was charged with impaired driving and driving while his blood-alcohol level was over .08 per cent.

On Nov. 6, EPS members attended to a local shopping district in response to a report of a man dumping garbage on the property while shouting profanities at staff members. The man had disappeared by the time police arrived but they have been able to identify him due to surveillance recordings. They said they will be discussing the actions with him as part of their follow up actions.

The EPS school resource officer was called upon to check into a report of a threatening message being sent to a student. The investigation revealed the caller had probably dialed an incorrect phone number, but the matter remains under investigation.

EPS members also assisted the RCMP with traffic control on the east side of the city, while RCMP members completed the task of euthanizing a moose.

On the night of Nov. 7, EPS members arrested a man who was wanted by Regina Police Service. The man was released later with a mid-December court date established in the Queen City.

EPS members attended to an underpass incident on Highway 39 west of the city on the night of Nov. 7 when a semi-trailer unit attempted to enter the area with a load

How to manage the financial world Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA) in partnership with Saskatchewan credit unions are celebrating financial literacy month by reminding Saskatchewan people that it is never too early, or too late, to start learning about money.

“Financial literacy month is a national initiative that highlights the importance of financial knowledge,” FCAA Chair and CEO Dave Wild said.

“No one wants to learn about money management the hard way. Take advantage of resources that are available and learn how to budget, invest wisely and save for a rainy day.”

FCAA and Saskatch-

ewan credit unions are helping Saskatchewan citizens make responsible financial decisions. Tips, advice and links to resources will be tweeted and posted on Facebook so people can learn how to responsibly manage their money.

“Credit unions build lives by helping members

achieve financial wellbeing,” SaskCentral CEO Keith Nixon said. “Financial literacy is an important life skill that has benefits for individuals and our economy.”

Saskatchewan credit unions have been involved with the delivery of financial literacy lessons in schools for several years. Credit

unions also offer guidance and information to members at various stages in their lives whether it’s opening their first account, buying a house, or saving for retirement.

To learn more about FCAA and SaskCentral visit www.fcaa.gov.sk.ca and www.saskcu.com

that was too high. Police directed traffic around the scene while the truck was being rerouted around the city.

A 28-year-old Arcola man was arrested on outstanding warrants on Nov. 7. The warrants had been issued by EPS and Carlyle’s detachment of the RCMP. The man was given a court date in Estevan prior to being re-released.

A domestic disturbance on the south side of the city on Nov. 7, attracted police attention. The two parties involved in the dispute were separated for the night and was concluded following the gathering of more information.

A fight at a local lounge led to a call for police intervention on the night of Nov. 7. Police had received numerous complaints about a possible assault as a result of the fracas. The matter remains under investigation with charges pending.

An inebriated 20-year-old Calgary man who was discovered passed out in the stairwell of a local hotel, was taken into custody on Nov. 7 and spent the night in cells.

A 31-year-old Estevan man was also arrested and charged with impaired driving and driving while over .08 that same night. He now has a December court date.

A domestic disturbance in the central part of the city drew police attention on Nov. 7. A 21-year-old man was charged with assaulting his roommate after he was tracked down by police. He now has a December court date.

Thieves focused on industrial business, vehicles A theft that occurred sometime between the night of Nov. 3 and early morning of Nov. 4, has prompted an RCMP investigation.

Police said the property that was compromised was located on Devonian Street on the eastern side of the city limits.

A window in the business was smashed as were windows on three vehicles parked on the property. Tools and a variety of supplies were removed from the vehicles and the property.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the local detachment at 306-637-4400 or report anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. They can also report through SaskTel Mobility, text TIP206 plus the message to CRIMES 274637. Tips may also be delivered online at www.saskcrimestoppers.com

Third period meltdown costs Bruins HAWKS SCORE THREE GOALS IN LESS THAN TWO MINUTES

It was all heading in the right direction through 40 minutes, then all hell broke loose.

The Nipawin Hawks scored three goals in a span of less than two minutes early in the third period on Sunday to hand the CanElson Drilling Estevan Bruins a 5-2 loss at Affinity Place.

The Bruins (5-11-0-3) led 2-1 after the first two periods.

“We let them back in the game. We were going to the third with a 2-1 lead and 19 minutes on the clock and we’re down a goal.

We’ve gotta do a better job of keeping pucks out of our net,” said Bruins head coach Chris Lewgood.

Brandan Arnold and Evan Mignault beat Bruins starter Brett Lewchuk nine seconds apart in the first minute of the third.

Shortly after that, Eric Bolden put one past Lewchuk off the rush, which resulted in Tyler Gutenberg entering the game between the pipes.

Following the three goals, the Bruins enjoyed eight minutes of power play time, but couldn’t capitalize, despite getting some chances.

“It was very frustrating,” said Lewgood. “Early on, I thought the problem with the power play was we weren’t penetrating the seams very well and creating chances and getting pucks to the net.

“We made some adjustments and started getting some shots, and unfortunately we weren’t firm enough to get rebounds. Our zone time

Bruins forward Levi Barnstable is tripped up, but still manages to put the puck on net, moments before scoring during the first period of Sunday’s 5-2 loss to the Nipawin Hawks. on the power play tonight was really good. Our puck movement was really good.

Our execution on finishing plays wasn’t very good.”

Keegan Kjargaard added an insurance marker with four minutes to play, scoring glove side.

“We gotta be better. It should have been a 2-0 win today. That’s the way I saw the game,” said Lewgood.

“There are things we can improve on all the way around. Our team cannot allow five goals. You can make any excuses as to why we did, but the bottom line is if we’re in the offensive zone on the cycle, the other

team’s not going to score.”

The Bruins took an early 2-0 lead in the first period.

First, R.T. Rice got around defender Nicholas Reimer, went in alone and went forehand on Hawks starter Logan Flodell.

Shortly after that, Levi Barnstable was tripped up

by Hawks defenceman Stefan Wood, but got the puck on net. Moments later, Barnstable flipped a shot off Wood, up over Flodell and in the net.

Garret Lockeridge got the Hawks on the board with 35 seconds left in the period off the rush.

Lewchuk allowed four goals on 23 shots, while Gutenberg allowed one on four shots.

The Bruins outshot the Hawks 34-27.

Top prospect Riley Woods, 16, joined the Bruins as an affiliated player despite forwards Adam Canepa, Ryan Duret and Mahlon Head being healthy scratches.

“I thought he was good. I thought he had some breakdowns, but that’s to be expected. I thought he fit in nicely 5-on-5 with a couple of pretty good hockey players (Keegan Allison and Lynnden Pastachak). He

complemented them very well. On the power play, he made some things happen,” said Lewgood.

“I wish he had a little more confidence in himself to shoot. As a 16-year-old coming in as an AP, you kinda want to dish the puck off.

You don’t want to be caught overhandling it. So I think he passed up on a couple of opportunities to shoot where he was probably the best guy to take the shot.”

On Nov. 4, meanwhile, the Bruins edged the Melville Millionaires 2-1 on home ice.

All three goals were scored in the first period.

Rookie forward Taylor Ross got the Bruins on the board less than four minutes in with his first SJHL goal.

The Millionaires drew even at the 12:38 mark on a goal by Ben Mack.

The Bruins reclaimed the lead for good less than three minutes later on a power play goal by Darcy DeRoose.

The Mils outshot the Bruins 33-30, with Lewchuk making 32 saves. Melville goalie Troy Trombley stopped 28 shots.

Bruins forward Jason Duret took a puck to the face in that game and required minor surgery on his nose on Monday. He is expected to miss about 10 days.

The Bruins are last in the SJHL in goals by a significant margin, averaging less than two goals per game.

“The ideal scenario is you get more goal scorers.

But realistically, we just gotta stick to it. The guys work hard on scoring in practice.

It’s something we’ve spent time on in practice. Our guys are not missing the net in practice. If they are, they’re doing pushups. Our guys are committed to finishing better and putting the work in to be a better team. You just gotta stick with it and as a general manager, you’ve gotta try to add some scoring touch,” Lewgood said.

The Bruins were scheduled to visit the Weyburn Red Wings on Tuesday afternoon. They are on the road this weekend, visiting the Hawks for a rematch on Friday and the Melfort Mustangs on Saturday.

Raynard up for prestigious award LAMPMAN DRIVER HEADING TO INDIANAPOLIS It has been a banner year for Riley Raynard, and recently it got even better.

The 16-year-old hobby stock driver from Lampman is a finalist for the Ken Schrader Real Racer Award, presented by the magazine Speedway Illustrated.

Raynard will travel to Indianapolis in mid-December to find out if he will win the award.

“It goes to (a driver who) shows a lot of heart and determination for the sport. You don’t have to win races for it. You just have to have the heart and soul,” Raynard said.

Raynard said “a bunch of people” nominated him for the award, including many family members.

“It’s pretty cool and amazing that I’m up for a big award like that, just to even be nominated for it,” he

added.

This year was Raynard’s third season of racing at Estevan Motor Speedway and he won the first two features of his career. He also took home the Motor Magic title in Minot in late August.

Raynard has already appeared in Speedway Illustrated’s November issue, as the magazine did a feature story about his determination to overcome the effects of muscular dystrophy.

He said he is grateful to the people who nominated him for the award.

“It’d be pretty cool to get that, because it’s a big award and a big (Performance Racing Industry magazine) trade show. There should be lots of NASCAR teams and fans there, big name people, hundreds of booths.”

A banner year for Lampman driver Riley Raynard continues as the Lampman driver has been nominated for the Ken Schrader Real Racer Award, presented by the magazine Speedway Illustrated.

TS&M Bruins forward Cole Fonstad drives hard to the net for a golden opportunity, but was denied by Wheat Kings goalie Ryan Deck.

Fonstad leads bantams to big win It took some time to crack the goalie at the other end of the ice, but after that, the goals came fast and furious.

The Estevan TS&M Bruins thumped the West Central Wheat Kings 7-1 in bantam AA action on Sunday at Affinity Place.

Cole Fonstad led the way for the Bruins (6-4) with a hat trick and two assists.

“We knew what to expect. They don’t move the puck up very well, so if you can get all over their defencemen, the game is simple from there. They don’t present much of a contest, providing you get to their goaltender early.

If he gets hot, it’s not the same game,” said Bruins head coach Tom Copeland.

Wheat Kings goalie Ryan Deck stood on his

head in the first two periods, and the hosts led 3-0 after 40 minutes. But the floodgates opened in the third.

Late in the first period, Daymon Wanner finished off a blind centring pass from Ethan Smith to open the scoring.

Terran Holzer extended the Bruins’ lead eight minutes into the second period, firing a point shot through traffic and in.

Fonstad’s first of the afternoon came at the 13:42 mark of the period, as he scored shorthanded on a strong individual effort.

The Bruins added three goals in the first half of the third period, beginning with a Fonstad slapper from the point less than four minutes in.

Shortly after that, Ma-

son Strutt tapped in a Fonstad feed to make it 6-0.

Then Fonstad completed the hat trick, beating Deck high short side.

The Wheat Kings got on the board at the 11:45 mark on a power play by Andrew Hawes.

Strutt scored his second of the game on a rebound with 47 seconds remaining.

Copeland said his club did a lot of things better compared to last weekend’s Graham Tuer tournament in Regina, where they went 1-3.

“I think we worked better at banging bodies, for sure. You saw us below the goal line initiating contact. Those were things we weren’t doing last weekend. We worked on that all week, and we did that well. That was the point of

emphasis and we did that.

“Our zone entry was better too, keeping the puck away from the goalie on our dump-ins and stuff like that. As the game went on, you saw us (with) more puck possession gaining the zone, versus dump the puck in. That’s the progression we’re trying to preach: dump early, get them turning, backing up, and then (we) have puck possession and that’s the way it worked out. That’s the way you saw us scoring goals today,” Copeland said after the Sunday contest.

While the top line of Fonstad, Strutt and Ryder Pierson combined for eight points on Sunday, secondary scoring is a concern.

“What we’re really worried about is our second line right now. We’re

NEW CAMPSITES!

That’s the progression we’re trying to preach: dump early, get them turning, backing up, and then (we) have puck possession and that’s the way it worked out.

trying to find out who’s going to be that secondary scoring for us, particularly on the power play.”

Copeland said the Bruins have performed well so far, but feels there were some missed opportunities on a pair of northern road trips last month.

“I think we’re reasonably happy. We’d probably

rather have gone up there and seen a few more wins, because to be honest with you, we could (have been) 7-2 coming into this game, and now 8-2. We gave away some wins that we shouldn’t normally give away. But they’re young and they’re still learning to play. We had some hard road trips up there. We’ve owned the teams from Saskatoon.

“We haven’t seen a lot of the south yet. That’s going to be the test. The North Division doesn’t look nearly as strong as the South Division does right now.”

The undefeated Yorkton Terriers are running away with first place in the south, but Copeland said the Bruins are aiming for second place. The main challengers at this point are the Prairie Storm (4-0-1) and the Regina Monarchs (5-2-1).

“We’re in the thick of it now.”

The Bruins were slated to visit the Monarchs last night. On Saturday, they will host the Saskatoon Outlaws at 5:15 p.m. at Affinity Place.

Midgets miss playoffs at tournament

By Josh Lewis sports@estevanmercury.ca

For the second straight year, the Estevan Apex Bruins missed the playoffs at the annual Kelly Dmyterko Memorial Tournament in Prince Albert.

The midget AA club posted a 1-2 record, losing their final game in double overtime to eliminate them.

In their first game on Friday, the Bruins defeated the Martensville Marauders 3-1.

Kolten Ganson scored the lone goal of the first period for the Bruins with four minutes left.

Estevan went ahead 2-0 at the five-minute mark of the second on a goal by Erik McKersie.

The Marauders got on the board less than four minutes later, with Tyler Petit finding the back of the net.

The Bruins got an insurance marker less than three minutes into the third on a Dayton Westerman goal.

Landon Audet was in goal for the win.

In their second game,

Apex Bruins forward Marc Shaw carries the puck across the blue line during a recent game. (File photo) the Bruins lost 3-1 to the Calgary Rangers.

After a scoreless first period, the Rangers took a 1-0 lead in the second.

The Bruins tied it early in the third on a Peyton Ste-

venson goal, but the Rangers replied with two quick ones of their own.

Cam Lavoie was between the pipes for the Bruins.

After those two games,

the Bruins finished second in Pool C and met the Prince Albert Raiders, the second-place team in Pool A. McKersie and Marc Shaw were among the goal

scorers for the Bruins.

Kent Hanson (2), Austin Odnokon, Braden Isbister and Riley Neumeier scored for the Raiders, with Hanson scoring the winner in double overtime.

The Bruins are back in regular season action on Thursday when they visit the Notre Dame Argos. On Sunday, they host Prairie Storm (5:15 p.m., Affinity Place).

Last week, Swift Current was chosen to host the Ford World Women’s Curling Championship for the second time.

Tourism Saskatchewan is providing $150,000 to the Canadian Curling Association to help bring the worlds to Swift Current in 2016.

“I am very pleased that my hometown has been selected to host the Ford World Women’s Curling Championship for a second time,” said Premier Brad Wall.

“Volunteers and curling fans from Swift Current and area put in many long hours to make the 2010 championship a resounding success. We are excited about the opportunity to once again showcase Saskatchewan on the international stage.”

The 2010 worlds were a great success for the city, with more than 500 volunteers, 52,000 curling fans in attendance and an economic impact of $9 to 10 million.

It is estimated that the 2016 championship will have an increased economic impact of $10 to 12 million.

“It is great news for the province that the world’s top female curlers, along with legions of fans, will come to Swift Current in 2016,” said Jeremy Harrison, minister responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan.

Westmoreland Bruins get first victory After a slow start to the season, the Estevan Westmoreland Bruins had a strong weekend against the Moose Jaw Warriors.

On Friday, the peewee AA team beat the Warriors 4-1, picking up their first win of the year. The next day, the teams played to a 7-7 draw in a high-scoring affair. Both games were played at Affinity Place.

The Bruins now own a 1-5-1 record on the South Saskatchewan Minor Hockey League regular season.

On Friday, the Bruins scored two goals in the first period and two more in the third, with four different players finding the back of the net.

Kaiden Tuchscherer struck first blood just 73 seconds in.

It didn’t take long for the hosts to extend their lead, either, as Joey Meredith made it 2-0 two minutes later.

Moose Jaw’s lone goal came four minutes into the second period, courtesy of Jaxsen Wiebe.

Estevan had another quick start in the third period, with Josh Romanyk putting them ahead 3-1 only 59 seconds in.

The lead became three on a Cody Davis power play goal at the sevenminute mark.

Layne Gilroy was in goal for the win.

Estevan was 1-for-9 on the power play, while the Warriors went 0-for-8.

On Saturday, the Bruins clawed back with three unanswered goals in the final seven minutes of the game.

It was a relatively quiet first period, but both teams’ offences were unleashed in the final 40 minutes.

Each team scored a power play goal in the first period, with Estevan’s Riley Nivens scoring at the 5:32 mark and Moose Jaw’s Ben Peterson responding less than four minutes later.

The Warriors scored three straight goals to begin the second period, courtesy

of Wiebe, Caelan Fitzpatrick and Atley Calvert.

Tu r n e r M c M i l l e n scored on a power play to make it 4-2, only to see the Warriors respond with a man advantage goal by Brady Grasdal two minutes later.

Just 29 seconds after that, Tuchscherer pulled the Bruins back to within two.

McMillen’s second of the game came 27 seconds

into the third, making it 5-4 for the visitors.

Moose Jaw replied with goals from Wiebe and Shay Barnett, seemingly putting the game out of reach with less than eight minutes to go, but the Bruins stormed back with three power play goals.

Goals by Romanyk and Davis less than two minutes apart made it a one-goal game.

Panthers edge Hounds Although their shutout bid was broken with less than two minutes to go, the Estevan PowerTech Panthers held on for a 2-1 victory over the Notre Dame Hounds on Nov. 3.

The win in Wilcox gives the Panthers a 3-1-1 record in the South Saskatchewan Female Hockey League’s midget AA division.

Mackenzie Ronyk and

Haley Ronyk scored for the Panthers, while Birdie Thomson-Bear replied for the Hounds.

The first period was scoreless. Mackenzie Ronyk gave the Panthers the lead midway through the second and that edge held after 40 minutes.

Eight minutes into the third, Haley Ronyk extended the lead to 2-0.

Thomson-Bear would

The two teams combined for eight power play goals, with the Bruins going 5-for-8 and the Warriors going 3-for-7.

Koby Kmita was in goal for the Bruins.

After the Western Canada Cup announcement last week, Estevan will be hosting two major sporting events in 2016, including the Saskatchewan Summer Games.

Estevan will pull it off in 2016 For a small Prairie city, it’s quite something to host two major sporting events just months apart.

That is the challenge facing Estevan after the Bruins last week secured the right to host the Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup in 2016.

Playing host to the WCC in April and the Saskatchewan Summer Games in July will be a formidable test for the city, its corporate community and its volunteer base.

There is no reason, however, to believe the challenge won’t be met.

The right people are in place on both fronts. The people involved with the Summer Games preparations are working their tails off on

a number of fronts. They are the right people to tap into the community, just as the WCC co-chairs are the right people to tap into the business community.

Estevan has a strong sense of volunteerism and many people have already committed to volunteer for the Summer Games. Roughly 1,700 volunteers will be needed for that event. The two committees are planning to share the same volunteer base, so the WCC will be a dry run of sorts for those people.

Meanwhile, no one needs to be told about the generosity of Estevan’s corporate community. They have stepped up time and time again, and the proof

Josh Lewis Hear Me Out is all over the city, from Affinity Place to the Hearthstone campaign to the names

adorning the golf club and curling club and more.

The combined budgets

for the Western Canada Cup and Summer Games will be in the neighbourhood of $2.75 million. It’s a hefty amount, but local businesses have responded in the case of the Summer Games, and surely the same will hold true for the WCC. These are two marquee events that will showcase Es-

tevan and its sporting scene both provincially and across Western Canada. It’s a stiff challenge, but the payoff, both literally and figuratively, is worth the work.

Contact Josh Lewis at 306-634-2654 or sports@ estevanmercury.ca. Mention the Argos at your own risk.

Atom AAs tie, lose against Yorkton The Estevan A&S Bruins travelled to Yorkton on the weekend for a pair of games against the atom AA Terriers.

The two clubs tied 6-6 on Saturday and the Terriers won 6-3 on Sunday.

On Saturday, the Bruins came back from a three-goal deficit after the first period.

Ty Hoste led the visitors with two goals. Boden Dukart, Blayze Siebert, Jordan Marcotte and Kyler Gingras added singles.

Carter Dereniwsky scored a hat trick for Yorkton.

Isaac Lortie added two goals and Nikolas Gordon had one.

On Sunday, the Bruins were ahead 3-2 late in the second, but Yorkton scored four unanswered goals, including three in the third.

Siebert, Hoste and Nathan Wagstaff scored the Estevan goals.

Gordon (2), Dereniwsky (2), Lortie and Reid Pfeifer powered the Yorkton attack.

Co-ordinator Shirley Andrist noted that Heier’s spacious quarters will allow up to 60 guests for this particular event so a special discount admission fee has been established for interested students.

“Band students who study woodwinds should be particularly interested in this concert I would think,” said Andrist, referring to the unique opportunity to visit with and hear an expert classical woodwinds performer.

Crop quality remains an issue as southeast completes harvest Harvest is essentially complete in the province as the majority of the crop is now in the bin, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report. However, there are some crops, such as flax, canary seed and sunflowers left to be combined.

Harvest was challenging for most producers, mainly due to delayed maturity and excess moisture. Cereal and pulse crop quality remains an issue for much of the province, with the majority of cereal and pulse crops rating well below the 10-year average. Yields vary throughout the prov-

ince and are reported as average in most cases. Yields are reported as 38 bushels per acre for hard red spring wheat, 37 bushels per acre for durum, 82 bushels per acre for oats, 58 bushels per acre for barley, 31 bushels per acre for canola, 34 bushels per acre for peas and 1,371 lb. per acre for lentils.

Average hay yields on dry land are reported as 1.5 tons per acre for alfalfa, 1.4 tons per acre for alfalfa/brome hay, 1.3 tons per acre for other tame hay, one ton per acre for wild hay and 1.8 tons per acre for

greenfeed. On irrigated land, the estimated average hay yields are 2.2 tons per acre for alfalfa hay, 1.6 tons per acre for alfalfa/ brome hay, 1.7 tons per acre for other tame hay, 2.3 tons per acre for wild hay and 2.7 tons per acre for greenfeed. Cattle producers have indicated that they have adequate to surplus winter feed supplies.

The number of acres seeded to winter cereals is below average in most areas. A late harvest, wet field conditions and poor seed quality in many areas limited the number of acres seeded this fall.

Some areas of the province received both rainfall and snowfall this past week.

Across the province, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as 13 per cent surplus, 81 per cent adequate, five per cent short and one per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as seven per cent surplus, 87 per cent adequate and six per cent short. The southeast and east-central regions are reporting excess moisture in many fields.

Farmers are busy completing fall work and bringing cattle home from pastures.

Young musicians join Sask. Honour Band

By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca

With notable musical backgrounds providing a solid foundation for Matthew Grunert and Yongseong Jeon, two students from Estevan Comprehensive School, it comes as almost no surprise that they’re joining the Saskatchewan Provincial Honour Band.

The Provincial Honour Band is a group of some of the finest young high school musicians from across the province, and is selected annually via submitted auditions. The band is a significant part of the annual Saskatchewan Musical Conference in Saskatoon, which will be held from Nov. 13-15. Each year the band participates in fierce rehearsals in preparation for the final concert on the last day.

“It really is just an unbelievable experience,” said

Matthew, 17, who’s a Grade 12 student trumpet player.

This will be the second time he will attend the conference as a member of the provincial Honour Band.

“The best student musicians from all over Saskatchewan come together to play fourth-year university pieces, it’s great,” Matthew said.

Matthew has been playing the trumpet for seven years. His father, Colin Grunert, who passed away a few years ago, was the former band director at ECS. His mother was the band director in Bienfait, Lampman and Hillcrest School in Estevan. She is also the director for the band camp in Kenosee, a camp the Grade 12 student participates in regularly.

Matthew’s path towards becoming an accomplished young musician began in Grade 4, when private lessons quickly ignited a serious passion for

music. His father was also a trumpet player and a big inspiration for Matthew, who plays percussion as well.

When asked which instrument he prefers playing, he was quick with his response.

“The trumpet, defi-

fact, absent.

“This feels like going to Regina Band Camp, which you have to audition for as well,” Youngseong said. “I’m not really nervous since I’ve been going to that since Grade 6.”

He noted, however,

“The best student musicians from all over Saskatchewan come together to play fourth-year university pieces, it’s great.” ­— Matthew Grunert nitely,” he said.

Yongseong, 14, is in Grade 9, and despite joining the Honour Band for the first time, the anxiety and uncertainty one would expect a young musician to have in this situation is in

that he was surprised to find out he was selected for the Honour Band, especially after an audition he thought went poorly.

“I thought I failed to be honest,” he said. “I just thought I played bad.”

Compounded by the fact that his teacher told him Grade 9’s have a harder time joining the Honour Band, the last thing Yongseong expected was a letter stating that he was going to be in Saskatoon in midNovember.

Yongseong started playing the clarinet in South Korea during the fifth grade as part of an extracurricular activity that was available for students at school.

“There wasn’t any band in Korea,” he said.

Interestingly enough, he said it was by chance that he got into clarinet. His mother, who plays piano, initially encouraged him to play the clarinet, assuming it was in fact, the flute. The slight misunderstanding, however, turned out to be a positive, as the clarinet is now Yongseong’s favourite instrument to play. His father was a leader of the

Korean Instrument Players Group in university. The Grade 9 student also plays alto saxophone and percussion, and was a member of the provincial Junior Honour Band in 2013.

Musical influences for the two musicians largely include family members, private teachers and instructors. Matthew, however, noted his liking for Louis Armstrong, an American jazz-trumpeter from the 1930s to 1960s.

“I’m really into jazz and classical music,” he said, a fact that is emphasized with his involvement in Regina’s Jazz Camp and the school’s jazz band, a group Yongseong is also a part of.

Matthew’s advice for Yongseong and other young musicians who will perhaps one day join the Saskatchewan Honour Band is simple.

“Practice makes perfect, it totally pays off.”

Recess becomes more fun with new playground

By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury

Passerbys may have noticed something different about the northern end of Pleasantdale School recently with the installation of a shiny new playground set.

“It was a huge project and we had a lot of help financially, physically and mentally,” said Michelle Smart, principal of Pleasantdale School.

The project, which began taking shape approximately three years ago, was finally completed on Sept. 26 and provides the older students of the school with new opportunities during recess. The new double set of swings, climbing dome, double tire swing and four picnic tables are largely an extension of another playground upgrade that emerged last year in September for Grades

Grades 6, 7 and 8 now get to enjoy a climbing dome among several other pieces of playground equipment, which the school obtained in September.

The north side of the school also received a new picnic table.

3 to 5. Using $35,000 of the $95,000 raised by the school and the rest of the community for the entire playground overhaul, the school’s former community council president, Kim Toombs, laid the groundwork for the older kids’ play area.

“She did all the leg

official opening to help install everything.

“Our Grade 8’s helped us. We had various volunteers come out too and help by carrying the equipment,” she said. “We worked hard and got it done all in one day,” she said.

She noted how Clinton Gibbon, a parent of one

of the students who had the necessary equipment to spread the sand around upon its arrival, volunteered his time again after assisting with the younger kids’ playground installation last year.

A new set of basketball nets, donated by Power Dodge, were also installed.

The City of Estevan also lent the school some stakes that were used to fence off the equipment while the cement dried.

“It’s a super generous community and I can’t say it often enough,” Smart said.

Kids at school have embraced the new opportunities to climb, swing and shoot hoops. Smart said the kids are “absolutely loving it.”

The new playground is, needless to say, approved by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), but Smart stressed the careful planning that went into fall protection, and ensuring the right amount of sand was installed to cushion any potential tumbles. Much of the equipment is also coated with special antigraffiti that will prevent any potential vandalism from becoming permanent.

AVAILABLE BACHELORETTES Looking for someone you cannot wait to see again!

Brenda - At 52 I feel great.

My children are grown, I am debt free, healthy, slim, 5’8”, 132lbs, no health issues. I laugh freely & laugh often. I am sensual, happy with my body and with who I am.

In Loving Memory of Robert Cyr December 12, 1960 - November 14, 2000 We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name, In Life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

Forever in our Hearts Love, Your Family

MIILLER - In loving memory of Kay who passed away Nov 13, 2010.

There will always be a heartache, And often a silent tear, But also precious memories Of days when you were here.

We hold you close within our hearts, And there you will remain To walk with us throughout our lives Until we meet again.

Always in our thoughts and forever in our hearts.

Lovingly remembered by Peter, Don, Jan, Lorne, Cindy, Rodney, Karen and grandchildren.

PBS recently carried an interesting series on the American Roosevelts, the most famous of which was Franklin Delano, the president who served from a wheelchair. FDR encountered polio in the 1920s, at 39 years of age, at a time when the disease worried every parent but adults thought they were mostly immune. He endured years of physical therapy but never walked on his own again.

In 2014 in Saskatchewan, we don’t need to worry about polio, either for adults or children. The virus was eradicated in 1994 from the western hemisphere. People are still advised to be immunized because it continues in several countries and could spread but it is not really a threat here at this time.

Polio still has no cure. It was only halted through a widespread immunization program. People were relieved when the public health department set up polio clinics in the local schools in the 1950s and most have remained faithful ever since about taking their infants for the vaccine before they entered school.

Other immunization programs brought by public health departments have almost eliminated the need to worry about diphtheria, tetanus, typhoid, tuberculosis, measles, mumps, and rubella.

Consider the deaths and misery avoided in past years because of immunization. Medical websites in Canada and the U.S. only say that hundreds of millions of deaths have been avoided. As an example of the damage, the College of Physicians of Philadelphia points to estimates that more than 300 million deaths worldwide occurred from smallpox alone during the 20th-century. That stopped in 1977, when the last case of smallpox in the world was found in Somalia. That is immunization at work, after thousands of years of suffering. Now scientists are working on a vaccine to prevent the illness and deaths related to ebola.

The residents of South East Saskatchewan have another opportunity this fall to participate in this vitally important and safe practice of immunization when they receive a flu shot from their local health provider. There is no charge. There is little inconvenience; some people experience a sore arm for a day or two. There’s good reason to help your family and your community avoid sickness and possible death. We all need to act to minimize the impact of this disease.

Art Gallery seeking love notes for upcoming contest The Estevan Art Gallery and Museum is falling in love with love for the next few months.

Does your heart beat faster as Valentine’s Day approaches, or does it break? Do you break out in a sweat of anxiety or excitement?

That’s what love can do and the team at the EAGM are inviting you to participate in a community-wide project.

The event doesn’t require any special artistic skills, just expressions of love … or not, said curator Alex King, who said the Love Notes community exhibition will dovetail nicely with some upcoming love-themed exhibits at the gallery in the new year. These exhibits will include Love in the Modern Age, a group exhibition featuring online dating and Quixotic, featuring artists Susan Bozic and Evan Tyler.

“Love notes will be a small exhibition in our project

space. We’re asking local citizens to visually depict their feelings on love, whether they be romantic or critical in the form of a love note,” she said.

There will even be a couple of winners selected from the entries, who will receive $50 in Mastercard vouchers and tickets to the EAGM’s After Dark series.

“Hey, it’s a good topic,” said King with a laugh.

“You can be right there as a romantic, or you can be critical and irritated. It’s an opportunity to express yourself,” she added. “It’s an effort to get the public participating in a fun sort of way, and it’ll be a way to communicate too.

Modern dating, for instance, is so different but love itself is the same, so this concept of love notes, printed on card stock fills the bill. It answers traditional as well as new age love patterns.”

As the entry form suggests, Love in the Modern Age doesn’t have to just focus on love of another person. It can translate to love of a place, pet or activity.

“Make a postcard expressing your feelings about love and romance and submit it to the EAGM in time for their Love Notes exhibit that will begin Jan. 8 of 2015 and will continue through to Feb. 28.

There will also be a Love Notes workshop on Dec. 9 from 7 to 9 p.m. that will enable participants to make submissions for the exhibition. This workshop is free with the crafts supplied by the gallery.

“But you don’t have attend this workshop to submit an entry, just visit the EAGM site office.eagm@sasktel.net or phone the gallery at 306-634-7644 to access an easily filled-out entry form and contest details.
