Fire ban in Estevan RM The Rural Municipality (RM) of Estevan has imposed a complete fire ban. The RM stated on their Facebook page on Wednesday night that after consulting with Estevan Fire and Rescue, the RM imposed the ban. This includes campfires, fireworks, fire pits and any other open flame. “The region has experienced drier than normal

conditions over an extended period of time that have led to extreme conditions for dry vegetation, soil and rates of fire spread,” the RM stated on their Facebook page. The ban is in effect until further notice Watch next week’s edition of the Estevan Mercury for more on this story.

The Southeast Steelers senior women’s fast pitch team captured the bronze medal at the Western Canadian Senior Open “B” Championships that were held in Winnipeg from August 6 to 9. Coach Allan Hubbard said the Steelers, who are based out of Carnduff, had

a great tournament. They went 6-0 in the round robin to finish in top spot, but dropped both of their playoff games against tough teams they had beaten earlier in the tournament. “Our defence was awesome and our offence was great,” Hubbard told Lifestyles.

The Steelers opened the tournament with a 3-2 victory over the Winnipeg Smitty’s Juniors – a game the Steelers won in their final at bat. Then they rattled off a pair of lopsided victories, defeating the Edmonton Warriors 7-0 and Winnipeg LaSalle 8-2. They continued to roll with a 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Smitty’s senior team, and 1-0 over the Calgary Red Sox – a game they won in their last at bat. Then they shelled a Red Deer team 20-0. “Red Deer knew they were out of the tournament anyways, but how do you tell your batters not to hit the ball?” said Hubbard. Their first playoff game was against the senior Smitty’s, with a trip to the final on the line. The loser would have to play the junior Smitty’s in the semifinal. Winnipeg won 11-7. “We had a bad first inning, and they had us down 7-0,” said Hubbard. “And then we battled back to 9-7, but we couldn’t finish it off.”

The Smitty Juniors beat the Steelers 50 in the semi-final. Hubbard said the Winnipeg pitcher played well to keep the Steelers off the board. “We knew we were in for a tough go,” said Hubbard. “We thought we could have done better, but we didn’t, but overall I’m happy with how they played.” Hubbard said the Steelers, the Red Sox and the two Smitty’s teams were the best squads at the tournament. The Regina team that beat the Steelers at provincials last month didn’t make the playoff round. He also regards the senior Smitty’s as one of the best teams in the country. They won the national tournament last year, and defeated the junior Smitty’s 6-0 in the final at westerns this year. While it’s disappointing the Steelers didn’t win a playoff game, Hubbard said they’re pleased to once again bring home a medal from Western Canadians.

Rural News

Small businesses committed to training The latest release from the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, bore information regarding the level of commitment small businesses make in terms of training, compared with their large business counterparts. Canada’s smallest businesses lead the way in employee training, investing nearly $2,000 per employee on average each year, according to the CFIB. These findings challenge the view that small firms are slower to invest in training than their larger counterparts, who spend $1,713 per worker. In Saskatchewan, small business owners invest over $500 million each year on all types of employee training, which is an average of $31,512 per business. This equates to over 90 hours, or more than two full work weeks, of training for every employee on average. Informal or “on-thejob” training, is a key investment for small business, totaling $9 billion in 2014, making up 64 per cent of

This year’s Threshing Bee will be held Aug. 15 and 16. They will be holding their pancake breakfast from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. daily at the museum on Main Street. The antique parade and threshing will be held at the Pioneer Heritage Village at approximately 2 p.m. There will be an ice cream trailer at the event this year and the Prairie Travellers will provide the musical entertainment on both days.

Others things to seek out at the Bee are the Saskatoon pies, flea market, fried bread dough and the Sunday church service at 11 a.m. Next year the Threshing Bee/Pioneer Heritage Days will celebrate their 50th anniversary.

the $14 billion small and medium business invests in training. In total, informal training is offered by 90 per cent of small and medium businesses, and is done without any government credits or grants. “Formal training is important, but there is no substitute for what you learn on the job,” said CFIB president Dan Kelly. “Informal training provides both foundational skills and key industry techniques that simply can’t be learned in a classroom setting. There’s a reason that employers value work experience above almost everything else.” Inexperienced workers make up 18 per cent of new hires in small firms, versus only nine per cent in their larger counterparts. Small businesses invest an average of over $4,200 training each new, inexperienced employee — much higher than the investment of training an employee with experience.

Although 85 per cent of small and medium businesses believe it is their responsibility to train new workers, many small firms will never see a return on that investment. Sixty per cent fear that employees will receive training, and then leave. “Too often small businesses train employees only to see big business and the public sector swoop in and poach them away,” said Kelly. To help alleviate this situation and to level the playing field, the CFIB said it is advocating for the federal political parties as well as the provincial and territorial governments to offer new training tax credits that recognize informal training. Sixty per cent of small and medium business owners say such a credit would boost their abilities to train tomorrow’s workforce in all sectors. “The we train, they gain situation is not sustainable,” said Kelly

(Mis)quotation

One thing I find troubling, in almost any circumstance, is a falsely attributed quote. You know what I’m talking about. There you are, browsing Facebook or Twitter, and someone posts a sepia-filtered photo of a statue of Buddha, with some pretty words emblazoned in an eye-catching (read: gaudy) font across the bottom of the picture. “Wow,” many people think, upon beholding such a thing, “that’s really deep, man.” Except what you’re reading often isn’t really what the Buddha said. Einstein never described insanity as “doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.” The Huffington Post is one of many sources that attributes that passage to Narcotics Anonymous in 1981, 26 years after his death. Most of what you’re being told Marilyn Monroe said, witty and adroit as she was, is not even her quote. One thing that internet quotes lead me to ponder how they came to be. “Is someone just feeling pretentious and making stuff up?” I ponder, in a moment of total exasperation. “From whence do these originate?” I’ll admit some of the quotes, dubious as they are, are actually pretty clever. Some of the stuff I read on the internet gives me pause for thought and think. Sometimes, as cliche as many of them are, I find myself mildly inspired. There’s

nothing wrong with that. It’s when someone takes a nifty idea and ascribes it to the first famous or smart person they look up on Google, that my inspiration and patience wear thin. It’s not always that bad. Let’s go back to Buddha for a second, since I see his words butchered the most often, and analyzing what he says actually reveals an important part of the problem with internet quotations. A lot of the fake quotes from Buddha running the gamut of what can be found on the conveniently entitled fakebuddhaqhotes. com, heavy-handedly comparing men to dogs and claiming “all worldlings are mad” are flat-out fake. Barring the blatantly fake, a lot of Buddha quotes aren’t totally off - they’re paraphrased. There’s a reason for that. Anything having to do with Buddha and anything he is reputed to have said, generally speaking, is speculative. Everything we know about him has been translated from languages that aren’t English and from a number of separate sources written at different times, often with conflicting accounts of who he was and what he said. To expect a literal translation of that is just illogical. Even with the “lost in translation”-effect taken into account, any attempt at an accurate translation of the original Buddhist writings is a wall of words and, well, pretty boring to look at.

Sam Macdonald

Sam’s Soapbox

But, returning to the subject of Marilyn, the paraphrase explanation doesn’t account for her most famous “quote.” You know which one I mean. Everyone who uses social media has at least one friend who has “liked” it or used it as part of their biography on Tinder: “I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I made mistakes, I’m out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.” That’s a heck of a quote, but there is absolutely no evidence Marilyn Monroe said it, or anything like it. And with someone as famous as Marilyn, whose behaviour was subject to as much attention as it was at the time, I find it very difficult to believe that she could say something like that and for there never to be a reliable source regarding what context in which it was said, and not even a similar line by which she said something with a similar message behind it. I’ll conclude this message with the same one I give people talking about what they heard on Fox News or from blogs with names like “Addicting Info:” “Do your homework.”

Blame big business for some poor Saskatchewan highways Recently I had the opportunity to drive Highway 22 from Killaly to Lemberg, and a couple of weeks earlier had covered the stretch from Highway 10 to Lemberg. To say the asphalt surface was a patchwork affair would be an understatement, starting with the fact you have to dodge holes which have yet to be patched. Now granted they have undertaken work to upgrade a couple of small stretches where flooding was obviously an issue, but those repairs were clearly made just to keep the highway useable. As for the rest of the highways — the expectation of it ever being filled or upgraded — is realistically not on the books until the year twothousand-and-never. The stretch of highway though is a great example of how the system has changed over the years, and what the impact has been on Prairie infrastructure. Towns on the prairies sprung up in the time of horses, built at intervals which allowed a horse and wagon to make a trip to town from area farms in a day. As we evolved to trucks, towns were too close together, and many disappeared through the years. Those that remained generally had a grain

elevator served by a railroad. They were then connected with pavement, much of it to standards aligned to carry much smaller grain and service

Calvin Daniels Trader Agriculture Columnist trucks than we see today. Then came the great rationalization of the grain collection system that of which occurred well within recent memory. It was a two-pronged development which saw the Prairie landscape forever changed. On one hand rail companies were allowed to abandon miles and miles of branch line. At the same time grain companies began closing small elevators in favour of more centralized, high-throughput facilities. From a purely business perspective, that of the rail and grain companies, the moves made sense as a way to improve efficiencies and boost profits.

But there was a cost to the Prairies. Without a grain elevator or rail line more and more communities died, a process which continues in the sense many which have hung on have little prospect of a sustainable future. Grain farmers traded in small trucks for semi units, and headed ever farther down the blacktop to deliver their grain. Many of the highways were not designed to handle the constant traffic and increasingly heavier loads. They are punched full of holes, and the coffers of the province are not deep enough to keep up with the steady repairs, or upgrades now needed. Small communities trying to attract new residents now have to sell them on a move which may mean an obstacle course of potholes every time they leave home. It is not a selling point. Communities and the province have been left trying to find the cash to fix a road system ill-suited to the system thrust upon it by the business rationalization of the rail and grain collection sectors. It’s not something that can be changed now, but the next time you bounce over a hole on a highway, remember to thank the rail companies and grain handlers before pointing the finger solely at the province.

Redvers will benefit from provincial program By David Willberg Broadway Street in Redvers is now on track to receive a number of upgrades, thanks to Redvers’ acceptance into the Main Street Saskatchewan Grant Program. The provincial government announced last week the Redvers Regional Agricultural and Commercial Endeavours Committee – which is responsible for promoting life in the area – has been selected to join Main Street Saskatchewan at the affiliate level. Main Street Saskatchewan is designed to revitalize historic downtowns through government and private investment. Jasmin Carlton, the economic development officer for the Town of Redvers, said there isn’t a fixed amount of funding associated with the program. Rather, funding is based on the grant applications. They also don’t have any plans finalized for what they will do with the money they receive. “We will be involved with the Main Street program as long as it is beneficial for our community, and the program remains in existence with the government,” Carlton told Lifestyles. Redvers’ Broadway Street is “gorgeous,” she said, but it needs a boost, regardless of whether it’s financial help, or education of town council members and other community leaders about the history of the street and its buildings. “It’s really exciting because we have someone in the government that believes a main street is the core of the community, and that it’s something that deserves attention, so we look forward to not only preserving the heritage of our downtown and our main street, but moving it forward into being as good as it can be,” said Carlton. Seventy-four per cent of the buildings on Broadway Street are more than 40 years old. Carlton has been the town’s economic development officer for a year and a half. She learned of Main Street Saskatchewan’s existence during a conference she attended, and Carlton thought it could be worth applying. The community has been trying to draw more attention to its main road through farmers’ markets and other activities, but now they can have the finances for such projects as celebrating heritage and maintaining buildings. The Redvers Regional Agricultural and Commercial Endeavours Committee is comprised of representatives from the Town of Redvers, the RM of Antler and community members. It has six members, and has been working with various organizations to help the town move forward. They have worked with the Redvers Arts Centre to help them construct a new building, after their previous home was condemned due to last summer’s floods. The committee has also been working on a food truck, which can operate at various community venues, such as the agriculture grounds and the ball diamonds. “We have purchased a trailer that has a fridge in it and a barbecue, and it has the concession windows on the side, so that it can be used by organizations in our community and surrounding areas,” said Carlton. “They can pull it out to their events to assist them in making their events better, while also providing a service to those who are participating in what’s going on.” Redvers is one of five Saskatchewan communities to join the Main Street Saskatchewan program this year. The Humboldt Downtown Improvement District and North Lakes Economic Development Corp. in Spiritwood, have been accepted into the program’s top accredited tier. The Carrot River Community Branding Committee and the North Battleford Business Improvement District Corp. join Redvers at the affiliate level. “Our government is pleased to welcome the new communities into the Main Street Saskatchewan Program,” said Mark Docherty, the minister for parks, culture and sport. “As the heart and soul of Saskatchewan’s communities, historic downtowns are important to our growth and well-being. They support cultural and economic development, attract tourists and allow us to embrace the Saskatchewan story.” Main Street Saskatchewan is a community-driven revitalization program that uses the Main Street Four-Point Approach of community organization, economic restructuring, heritage conservation and design, and promotion

The Town of Redvers’ Main Street will receive funding through the Main Street Saskatchewan program. (Photo submitted) to celebrate Saskatchewan’s downtowns. Top-tier accredited communities fully commit to meeting the program’s standards and receive the full package of program services. Communities interested in learning about the Main Street Saskatchewan Grant Program, but are not yet

ready to commit to the full accredited standards, can still participate as affiliate communities and receive a reduced level of services. There is no limit to the number of affiliate communities that can be admitted, provided they meet certain minimum eligibility requirements.

The Intercepticons went 4-0 during round robin play before capturing the inaugural Penta Completions Estevan Minor Football Flag Football championship with a 34-32 win over the Wil-Tech Warriors last Saturday at Dana Quewezance Memorial Field. The flag football tournament attracted seven teams who raised $1,250 and counting in funding for the upcoming Estevan minor football season.

Our Past July 19, 1992 A new business literally moved in the Energy City last week when B&L Electronics of Oxbow brought their entire building to their new location just north of the railway tracks on 13th Avenue. The large structure, 30-feet high and 83 feet long, was moved by Royal Movers of Canora. Each week the Southeast Trader Express shares recent stories from the community but we’ll also give you a look into the past. If you have a photo you think readers of the Southeast Trader Express would find interesting please submit it to Alex Coop at acoop@estevanmercury.ca.

Bob Deptuck The Green Party of Canada has turned to a familiar face to be their candidate in the Souris-Moose Mountain constituency for the upcoming federal election. Bob Deptuck, a Rocanville resident who is currently employed as a safety facilitator with the Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan at their Rocanville mine, was announced as the party’s candidate late last week. He joins Estevan chiropractor Dr. Robert Kitchen (Conservative Party) and Weyburn union leader Vicky O’Dell (New Democratic Party) in the race to replace Ed Komarnicki as the riding’s member of parliament (MP). Deptuck ran for the Greens for the first time in 2008, and finished fourth with 1,643 votes. He ran again in 2011, and also finished fourth, but saw his support dropped to 898 votes. “My beliefs are still very strongly aligned with the Green Party, and I feel that representation for the people in this area who share those beliefs is needed,” Deptuck told the Mercury. The Green Party now has an electoral district association, he said, so he will have a few people working with him to prepare for the election. And he expects it should help him get more people involved. Deptuck recognizes he’s a long shot in the election, since Souris-Moose Mountain is a strong Conservative riding, and there are battles developing between the Tories, the NDP and the Liberals in many ridings across Canada. But he’ll advance his beliefs on the economy and the environment. “We’re in a very precarious position economically,” said Deptuck. “If we’re going to be successful, we’ll need a good, diversified economy, which includes not only resource industries but also green industries. “We need to really consider the switch from an oil-based economy to a very diversified and a more green economy, so our eggs aren’t all in one basket called oil.” The Green Party is concerned with the health of the environment. He pointed to stories on the consequences of hydraulic fracturing and resource extraction. He added that companies and individuals should be held responsible for any damage they cause to the land and the environment. Deptuck expects the Green Party will continue to gain support in this election. Leader Elizabeth May won her Vancouver Island seat in the last federal election, and there were two sitting Green Party MPs when the election was called. More than five per cent of voters chose the Greens in the 2011 federal election, and Deptuck wants to see more Green MPs in Ottawa. Deptuck said he didn’t have much of a chance to talk to constituents before the campaign, since Prime Minister Stephen Harper dropped the election writ early, and created an 11-week campaign. Deptuck noted Harper’s decision will cost taxpayers millions of dollars. The federal election will be on October 19.

Alliance flaring natural gas near southeast communities By David Willberg

They were hopeful the flares could be finished on August 12, and they could start to resume pipeline operations on August 13. “We are in communication with our shippers that transport their gas on our system,” he said. Straquadine said they initially recognized the natural gas did not meet their quality specifications after it entered their system from an upstream operator in northwest Alberta. They were able to track it as it travelled through their system, while they formulated a plan to remove the contaminated gas. “We blocked it in when we closed down our pipeline last Friday, with plans to bring in flares they were renting from a provider that offers flare services to pipelines or producers in Canada,” said Straquadine.

flares at two different sites. Two flares started at Alliance’s mainline block valve site near Arcola on August 9, and three more began at the company’s Alameda compressor station the following day. “We’ve been consistently monitoring those flares from a safety perspective, obviously ensuring they continue to operate appropriately,” said Straquadine.

Alliance Pipeline has been flaring natural gas near two southeast Saskatchewan communities this week, in an effort to remove natural gas containing hydrogen sulphide (H2S) from its mainline pipeline system. Tony Straquadine, the manager of commercial and government affairs with Alliance Pipeline, told Lifestyles they have had five

“Once we formulated our safety plan to hook those up to our system, we began that flaring. That was the point in Saskatchewan where that gas had moved through our system … so we blocked it in and isolated it to be able to begin those flaring operations on Sunday.” Alliance has stressed from the outset that there wasn’t a risk to the public. Straquadine said they have been tracking the gas through the pipeline system using sensors. “As long as that gas stays within our pipeline system, there is no risk to the public,” said Straquadine. “The safest, most efficient way that you remove hydrogen sulfide is through flaring and burning it off. It’s something that has been happening in the oilfields for many, many years.” They spoke with the

back online in stages. It will be dependent on a number of safety and operational considerations. “We have to receive some additional line pack, so that’s why we announced in our press release that we’re actually going to the market to buy incremental gas to replace that which we’ve flared,” said Straquadine. “From there, we’ll begin to open up the pipeline, sequentially, down the system as we begin to go back into full service operation.” The export of western Canadian natural gas has been an important component of their operations, and it will remain vital. Straquadine said Alliance doesn’t have an estimate on the financial implications.

It was “an unexpected circumstance” when the upstream operator wound up pushing H2S gas into the system. He said Alliance Pipeline’s mainland line has been operating since December 1, 2000, and they have never had a problem. Straquadine emphasized safety is Alliance’s top priority during this process, and they have emphasized that with the crews working around the pipeline.

More work, investment at Buffalo Pound More than $350,000 of additional work is being put into Buffalo Pound Provincial Park near Regina due to an investment being made by the provincial government. The announcement regarding the capital works project was made on Aug. 11. The money will be used to expand campsite electrical connections and general upgrades. The projected total in-

vestment made in that park now exceeds $5 million since the 2008-09 season. “Buffalo Pound Provincial Park is a very popular camping destination,” said Mark Docherty, Parks, Minister of Culture and Sport for the provincial government. “This electrical expansion and upgrade will improve the already exceptional visitor experience in this park.” There are 50 campsites in Maple Vale campground

in Buffalo Pound that will receive the upgraded service. This will help ensure safe and reliable electric service at those sites. In addition, 54 campsites in Maple Vale, Elm View and Lakeside campgrounds will also receive new electrical services. The expansion and upgrades will provide the option for 15 or 30 amp service at each site, with a portion also providing 50 amp service to accommodate larger recreational

vehicles. A public tender was issued for the project and Livewire Electric Ltd. of Shellbrook was the successful bidder. The work on the upgrades and new services

Students urged to consider insurance Post-secondary students returning to university and college campuses this fall are being reminded that picking up some tenant insurance might be a pretty good idea. The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA) said this past week that students who are renting accommodations should consider tenant insurance.

“This is one of those things where it’s really better to be safe than sorry,” said Ian McIntosh, FCAA Insurance and Real Estate Division director. “In a lot of ways this protects your peace of mind as much as it protects your property and your bank account.” Tenant insurance may provide coverage for such things as personal property

(damaged, lost or rstolen), personal liability for injuries suffered by guests, damage to the rental property and living expenses if temporary quarters have to be found due to repairs, fire or other circumstances.

will begin in the fall and is slated to be completed in time for next summer’s camping season. Funding for capital projects and upgrades in provincial parks around the province exceeded
