Summer Games proves goodwill and competition goes hand in hand

By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

A rousing cheer of thankfulness and goodwill from approximately 2,500 athletes, family, friends and fans packed into Affinity Place on Saturday evening brought the Saskatchewan Summer Games to a close.

“It exceeded our expectations,” said Brian Smith, co-chair of the Estevan 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games, about the past week in the Energy City. “The athletes were so polite and well behaved and they competed so well. The few events that I did get to, it was real exciting to watch them and just seeing them around the (Athletes) Village with big smiles on their faces and meeting new people (was great).”

Saskatchewan Games Council chairperson Julie Brandt officially closed the July 24-30 multi-sport event in Estevan a little before 6 p.m. at the Summer Games closing ceremonies at Affinity Place.

Shortly before Brandt brought the Games to a close, she handed the Saskatchewan Games flag to North Battleford 2018 Saskatchewan Winter Games ceremonies and protocol co-chair Jane Zielke de Montbrun to signal the passing of the Games’ torch from Estevan to

North Battlefords.

“The City of North Battleford is honoured to be able to host the 2018 Winter Games and we’re all very excited to try and fill those big shoes that Estevan has created,” said de Montbrun. “We have a lot of really great people (on our organizing) committee and we’re just really pumped to at least keep it at that level.” de Montbrun said the marching in of the 900 second-half athletes from across the nine sports districts of Saskatchewan at the beginning of the Summer Games closing ceremonies was an incredible sight with all the smiles on their faces and the medals draped across their shoulders. She said their organizing committee has about a year and a half until the Winter Games begin in February 2018 and although they have a lot of work to do to get the city ready they’re eager and excited to see athletes such as these express the same emotions in the northwest part of this province.

The big winner at the Estevan 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games was Team Saskatoon, which took home 113 medals including 54 gold, 32 silver and 27 bronze. Near the end of the closing ceremonies a Saskatchewan Games flag was presented to Team

Saskatoon representatives Doyle Matheson, Morgan Hildebrandt and Maddyn Kereluk for the accomplishment.

Team Regina placed second in the Games medal count with 21 gold, 31 silver and 22 bronze for a total of 74 medals. Team South East captured third place with 53 medals, including 16 gold, 14 silver and 23 bronze.

The South East canoe/kayak team proved the big winner for the region 1 at the Summer Games capturing 17 medals including five gold, five silver and seven bronze.

Team South East’s swimmers were the second predominant group on the podium winning 11 medals, while athletics came in third with eight of its competitors finishing in the top three.

The South East archery and equestrian athletes also had a good showing at the Games capturing seven and five medals, respectively. In team sports, the South East male volleyball squad won a silver medal, the female volleyball team captured a gold medal, the tennis doubles group of Clark Cabiluna and Aden Haywood took first place and the baseball team won a gold medal.

Brian Senchuk, co-chair of the Estevan 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games, said his hope for

He said these Summer Games will show them that community matters, sport matters, teamwork matters and people can create a better place to live and have fun in if they try their hardest.

“I hope it inspires the athletes to continue on with their sport and

work even harder and maybe make a Team Saskatchewan and be in a Canada Summer Games or even go beyond that,” added Smith. “They may have gone to a different venue and seen maybe canoe/kayak or something and said ‘hey, I really want to do that sport’ and try something different. So, I think pretty well all the athletes will probably leave here and just be pumped to even try harder.”

Royal Heights Veterans Memorial Park is temporarily open to the public, until work can again resume on the pathway and equipment to be installed.

Royal Heights reopened until detail work can be completed Because of a delay in renovation work, Royal Heights Veterans’ Memorial Park is temporarily open to the public. The park has been opened since July 24, in since the heavy rains that fell throughout the month of July, led to moisture conditions that made the ground unsuitable for work to be done on the structures and paths in the park.

High moisture conditions in the clay-rich soil in Royal Heights contributed to erosion of base work in place under the pathways in the park. The original plan was to resurface the base work, but that has been

postponed because of the moist soil conditions.

Parks manager Rod March noted the water table in the park is sitting about three to four feet below the ground surface, and that “it would be totally irresponsible for us to try and put an asphalt pathway in there, knowing it would collapse.”

A temporary walking path has been in place at Royal Heights, since July 24. The wet subsurface of the path has been damaged, due to the excessive moisture in the ground. A media release from the City of Estevan states that the circumstances are out of

The Estevan Police Service’s (EPS) second annual open house has grown to include the other emergency response teams in the city.

The EPS, the Estevan Fire Rescue Service and the Estevan Emergency Medical Services (EMS) will team up to host the event on Aug. 20 at 11am in the 300 block of 11th Avenue. Last year’s open house was organized by the EPS, but the city police decided to invite other emergency services to participate this year.

“We’re neighbours with the fire department, so why aren’t we inviting them as well, because we get more bang for the buck?” said police Chief Paul Ladouceur.

“Kids can come out, they can tour the police station, they can tour the fire station, they can tour the fire trucks, they can tour the police cars and do other stuff.”

Once the fire department was on board, the police and the fire department thought it made sense to have the EMS there, too,

it now.”

The work on Royal Heights, which started in June and was originally supposed to take two weeks, ended up taking closer to eight weeks.

The temporary path will stay in place until conditions become ideal for continued work at the park.

At that point, when the area dries enough for work, the city will resume base

compaction and asphalt surfacing, and the park will be closed again.

“I must say, there’s been a lot of positive comments (about the temporary reopening),” said March.

“We just put some picnic tables and stuff out there.

The RCMP will also be invited to participate.

Ladouceur expects all the different units for the EPS will be there, with the equipment and technology they have to do their jobs.

Last year’s open house featured a bouncy castle shaped like a police car, a barbecue, cotton candy, popcorn, a child identification station and an impaired driving simulator. Ladouceur expects all of those attractions will be back this year, but there will also be some fire rescue apparatus and gear for young people to try out.

Triathlon put the best to the test and none were found wanting

South East triathlon coach Tianna Dodds with Adah De Leeuw (middle) and Josie Andrist

By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca

Mikayla Hack on the track during Wednesday’s mixed team competition.

They took her words to heart and gave it all they had … and then some.

Never have fifth, seventh, ninth or 10th place finishes been seen as causes to celebrate, but when it comes to three young Estevan athletes, it’s exactly what was in order.

Adah De Leeuw, Josie Andrist and Mikayla Hack might have taken the words of Catriona Le May Doan to heart when she told over

Josie Andrist left it all on the course with a big surge at the finish line.

U-

900 young athletes attending the opening ceremonies of the Saskatchewan Summer Games to “imprint the sights and the sounds in your brain and in your hearts.”

The two-time Olympic champion told the youngsters that “some of you will fall short of your goal, but that’s sports. Success and

failure don’t determine your greatness. Stop, look around and let it sink in,” she instructed.

So they did. They took it in, and then it began to sink in. But they didn’t back away.

The three Energy City athletes chose one of the highest sporting mountains to climb and took it on with enthusiasm and energy even though they lacked a key ingredient … skill development … in one tough sporting world assignment, swimming, biking and running at marathon-like distances.

The importance of specific training needs were brought to the forefront by a determined and well-disciplined team of triathletes from Regina who dominated the medal podiums over the three days of triathlon competition.

“It’s a long haul,” said their coach Sean Hooper, when asked to comment on the growing medal trend the Regina team was enjoying

over the Games triathlon course set out in the central part of Estevan.

“We started our multisport club in Regina in 2012 with two members.

Now we have a full roster with dozens of kids. The idea is to start working with them early and make sure they’re having fun.

If you’re learning while having fun, you’ll probably stick with it,” he said, pointing to a large group of athletes aged 12 to 15, who were gathering around the RM of Estevan Aquatic Centre pool for the opening night’s medal presentations.

“Really, I didn’t figure the heat was that big an issue today,” said triathlete Cosmas Markatos. “I’ve run in 36-degree heat before, so today’s was OK,” he said, referring to the muggy 31-degree heat that hit Estevan earlier that afternoon.

“I liked the track, it was pretty clean and clear,” he added.

Markatos said he and his older teammates cycle four times a week in training and probably run twice a week over longdistance routes and swim three times a week. Other members of the triathlon troupe are members of the Regina Dolphins swim team, so they get their water endurance from training with them.

The triathalon route for the 14-and 15-year-old competitors consisted of a 500-metre swim, a 10-kilometre bike race and a four-kilometre run.

“Ella and I work together a lot,” said 12-yearold Molly Lakustiuk, referring to her friend Ella Perras.

The two would end up on the gold and silver platforms later. “Ya, we like to push one another,” said Ella.

“We had to learn when to turn it on, like today, I waited until the second loop on the run,” said Molly.

Regina dominated triathlon course

By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca

Regina athletes continued their dominance on the triathlon course on the third and final day of competition in the Saskatchewan Summer Games in Estevan, which was July 27.

The third day featured mixed (male-female) teams with some athletes representing zones other than their own home region to ensure that all athletes who wanted to compete, had a partner.

When the shouting was over, it was learned that South East had come the closest to claiming a medal than in the two previous days of energy sapping challenges in the pool, bicycle and marathon course.

Adah De Leeuw, a member of the Eels competitive swim team, teamed up with Nicklas Yuzdepski from Saskatoon, who ran under the South East ban-

ner as they claimed a fifth place finish, just six seconds from the fourth-place team from Saskatoon and less than three minutes behind the gold-medal winning Regina team of Jonathan Warawa and Molly Lakustiuk who had claimed individual gold medals on the first day of competition in the 12-13 age division.

Zach Makari and Hunter Schroeder from Saskatoon took silver, finishing 22.3 seconds behind the 40:28.4 time posted by Jonathan and Molly while another Regina duo, Ella Perras and River Custer finished third with a time of 42:21.2.

Adah and Nicklas posted a time of 43:07.2.

Josie Andrist, another Estevan Eels swimmer, who teamed with Dorion Gaberik to be the second South East representatives, posted a time of 46:36.5, good enough for eighth place, with Josie making a desperate bid to

overtake the seventh-place finisher, falling just short by two seconds.

A total of 15 teams were entered in the final day of competition and officials noted the 14-15 age grouping was run as a demonstration event since at least one competitor, had actually “aged out” and was too old to compete in that particular event, said the triathlon’s executive director, Chris Gdanski.

A third Estevan athlete, Mikayla Hack,who is also an Eels team member, got to run under a Saskatoon banner with Ana McComas, in the female team run, finishing third in the female-only competition that was run parallel with the mixed event. Their time was also good for 11th overall at 48:51.5, just four-tenths of a second ahead of the mixed team of Sydney Gdanski and Cosmas Markatos of Regina.

Ella Perras (left centre) and Molly Lakustiuk (right centre) of Regina captured gold medals in girls’ team triathlon on the second day of competition. On the left are silver medalists Elizabeth Markatos and Sydney Gdanski, also from Regina while Saskatoon’s Isabel McKague and Hunter Schroeder (right) took the bronze.

Estevan trio displayed spirit of the Games A3⇠

That’s something the Estevan Eels swimmers, turned triathletes, had to learn the hard way as they attempted to pick up some last-minute instruction from their South East coach Tianna Dodds from Lumsden, who said she admired the Estevan girls for putting forth the effort without having received any type of disciplined triathlon training beforehand.

“I think it’s fun, but ya, it’s also a bit nervewracking,” said Adah.

“I’m in the pool and I’m just trying to comprehend all the stuff that’s ahead, and I’m thinking maybe I need more training,” laughed Josie who not only worked her way through to a fine finish in the middle of the “ triathlon trained” pack on Monday,

but also participated in team triathlons on Tuesday and Wednesday before representing the South East in the pool in the second half of the week, as did Adah and Mikayla.

“I figured I just had to keep focused on the task at hand, one thing at a time,” said Adah.

Would they do it again, knowing now what they didn’t know then?

“Oh, for sure, I’d do this again,” Josie noted without hesitation. “I don’t know how we could train in winter, do some running on the indoor track, maybe more skating.”

Mikayla, who finished 10th in her very first marathon, said she might have done a bit better, but she developed a cramp early on during the run. She too thought she might like

trying to do it again if the opportunity arose. “Working with the Eels makes it easier in the water and I tried to listen to the coach who told us to just watch where we were going and where we should be to start running a little quicker, like picking up the pace at the halfway point of the biking and running and then sprinting to the finish.”

“I’m just so proud of the fact that these girls are trying this,” said Robert Andrist, Josie’s father.

“They’re probably a bit crazy, but what a challenge this is for them, it’s great just to see them out there putting in that huge effort.”

And, as it turned out, Le May Doan was right.

Rewards don’t always mean a trip to the podium.

Success is measured in many ways.

Estevan sees mixed results in crime survey

By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca

Estevan experienced mixed results in this year’s Crime Severity Index report, which was released

by Statistics Canada late last month.

The Crime Severity Index is an annual calculation that takes the number of charges laid by a police service, and assigns weight based on their severity.

Homicides, assaults and other violent crimes are given a greater influence, while lesser crimes, such as mischief and small thefts, have less influence.

The figure is expressed as a rate per 100,000 people.

Estevan’s Crime Severity Index for 2015 was 127.73, which was an 11.71 per cent increase from 114.34 the previous year.

But the city’s violent Crime Severity Index was down by 46 per cent, from 141.07

in 2014 to 84 in 2015.

The decrease in that category can largely be attributed to an alleged homicide in Estevan that occurred in 2014. In a small city like Estevan, a homicide will weigh heavily on a community’s result.

The non-violent Crime Severity Index for Estevan rose by 37.36 per cent, from 104.38 to 143.38 in 2015.

Estevan police Chief Paul Ladouceur urged caution with the findings, because they are formulabased, and one major incident in a small city greatly influence the findings.

“I’m more focused on the individual numbers than I am the overall index to see where we’re standing in certain areas,” he said in an interview with the Mercury.

In the case of violent crimes, they are usually drug related, or they involve people who are known to each other.

“It’s not acts of random

violence necessarily occurring,” said Ladouceur.

The EPS has seen an increase in the number of assaults, which Ladouceur believes can be attributed to a rise in domestic incidents, and that will have an impact on a community’s crime severity figure. There was also a case of criminal negligence causing death that would impact Estevan’s ranking.

At the same time, the number of impaired driving incidents is down. The EPS went from 114 of those charges under the Criminal Code in 2014 to 68 in 2015. Ladouceur expects that number to continue to decline.

“I’ve said this before, that when the economy goes down, our workload goes up, and I think we’re seeing that trend this (past) year, so it’s not surprising that we’re seeing a bit of a spike in certain areas,” said Ladouceur. “If we look at

property crime violations, the total number of violations went from 62 to 83, as far as charges go.”

The number of property crimes would play a role in the increase in Estevan’s non-violent crime rate.

Ladouceur believes the growing number of specialized units within the Estevan Police Service, such as the addition of a forensics officer and the expansion of the criminal investigations division, will result in a decrease in the number of charges, because the presence of those units will serve as a deterrent to crime.

But he wouldn’t be surprised if those units cause the index to rise, since there could be more charges laid.

“With statistics, we always have to be careful with how we are using the statistics, and keeping in mind that they’re only one measure of success and how you’re moving forward as a

police organization,” said the police chief.

“I’m very cautious when it comes to statistics … because if I put more officers on the road, and set up more spot checks throughout the city every night from Monday to Friday, our impaired driving charges are going to go through the roof.

Do we have a problem with impaired driving, or are we catching more?”

Some people might have been expecting to see the Crime Severity Index decrease, because the number of people in the city, particularly transient workers, is down. But Ladouceur believes tensions are high for those who are out of work, and some turn to crime because they need money.

“There are so many theories behind this, that it’s hard to conceptualize everything,” said Ladouceur.

The Crime Severity Index is one measure that

the police have access to, he said, when benchmarking a community’s safety and the progress they are making in the fight against crime.

Statistics Canada calculates a Crime Severity Index for all policing agencies in Canada, including rural areas, although Statistics Canada urges caution with findings for areas that have less than 5,000 people.

In the case of the Estevan RCMP detachment, which patrols rural communities surrounding Estevan, their overall Crime Severity Index was 75.48, which was an 8.96 per cent decrease from 82.91 the previous year. It was at 126.08 in 2013.

The violent Crime Severity Index was at 32.49, which was down by 52.95 per cent from 69.05 in 2014, while the non-violent index was at 90.97, which was an increase of 3.62 per cent from 87.79 the previous year.

Sun Country report looks at program progress With the recent release of the Sun Country Health Region’s annual report, further information was revealed regarding improvement projects undertaken during the past year which included a new long term placement process that has reduced wait times for screening for an initial long term care bed and also for assessment for obtaining a long term care bed in a preferred community.

The primary care clinics in the region have focused on expansion of chronic disease management programs, integration of mental health and addiction programs, and improving the public’s access to the primary health care programs and services. The clinics were located in Estevan, Lampman, Carlyle, Coronach, Kipling, Maryfield, Bengough, Radville, Midale

and Weyburn.

During the past year, four new members were appointed to the Sun Country Regional Health Authority, bringing the board membership back up to nine. The newest members are Murray Setrum from Coronach, Marilynn Gar-

nier from Redvers, Brian Romaniuk representing Carlyle and district and Leigh Rosengren from Midale.

In total 44 health programs for the nearly 60,000 people in the region were provided by Sun Country in 2015-16 fiscal year.

The regional census figures indicate that 42 per cent of the SCHR’s population resides either in Estevan or Weyburn with 30 per cent living in towns while the remaining 28 per cent either live in villages, rural municipalities or First Nations reserves.

Sun Country Health region spent $153 million in providing health services with $139 million of that sum coming from the Saskatchewan Ministry of

Health while $11 million came through patient and client fees and another $519,000 arriving through the payment of out-ofprovince fees.

Subject: STARS Rescue on the Prairies 2016 The purpose of this letter is twofold.

Happy 90th Birthday!

Still looking good at 90!

Happy 90th Birthday Audrey Cairns - From Family and Friends

I want to thank you for the generous donations made in 2015 to our Campaign to raise money for STARS in the 2015 Rescue on the Prairies. Because of everyone’s generosity to such a worthy cause $450,000 was raised overall in Saskatchewan. I am proud to say that with your help we raised approximately $230,000 of this amount.

The same campaign will run again in 2016 with Tina Bird, a very strong community-minded individual in the Estevan Area, will replace me and be challenged to raise $50,000 for STARS Foundation.

I want to once again thank everyone for the 2015 financial support. At the same time ask the local community residents to support Tina in 2016.

All donations, large or small, should be directed to Tina’s efforts at http://support.stars.ca/goto/bird.

STARS is for all of us, regardless of who we are or where we are. We need this service and hopefully we can support such a great cause.

On behalf of myself and the STARS Foundation, I thank everyone for their support.

Overheard at the Summer Games “We were a little concerned about the volunteer pick up numbers about four months ago, but that was quickly addressed by the community.

“I believe a lot of people around Saskatchewan will have a different perspective of Estevan now, especially those who had never visited here before. Estevan is much more than a steel-toed boot and hard hat city. This is a very impressive and beautiful community and there was no problem that Estevan couldn’t handle with regards to the Games.

“On an overall assessment, I would say Estevan has put on one of the more impressive provincial Games ever and I’ve been to every one of them since 1976. I guess I was just too young for the first Games in 1972.

I’ve been involved in some administrative role at every one and I have to say in all honesty, this is one of the most impressive Games I have attended. The hospitality was immense.”

Lorne Lasuita, Provincial Games Consultant for the Saskatchewan Games Council, speaking with the Mercury at the volleyball gold medal games, the last athletic events scheduled for the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games.

“We managed to fill in where things or people were needed. I believe we will

Pipelines do not get a free pass Before we go much further into the dangers of pipelines in the wake of the very poor handling of the Husky Oil North Saskatchewan River spill, let us quickly explore a less publicized news story this week.

Federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau announced last week that starting in November, tanker cars like the ones involved in the Lac-Megantic, Que. disaster won’t be transporting oil in Canada any more.

“The Lac-Megantic tragedy reminds us of the importance of staying vigilant in order to ensure security while transporting dangerous goods across Canada,” Garneau said, of the DOT-111 cars that will be phased out from oil transportation six months earlier than planned. The federal minister’s message was an important one for obvious reasons.

The July 6, 2013, derailment killed 47 people when the cars barreled into the community’s downtown.

provide an even better template and workbook for the next host community, than what was given to us. That’s not being critical of the previous Games organizers in Meadow Lake or Prince Albert, it’s just that our team has included a lot more detail.

We’ll be able to give the next community a pretty accurate budget assessment as well as a good volunteer and scheduling plan. I think we can hand off a pretty decent book,” Brian Senchuk, co-chairman Saskatchewan Summer Games in Estevan.

Those comments were obviously welcomed by the community of Estevan.

There were hundreds of volunteers spread throughout the city for six to seven days straight, doing their best to make the Es-

tevan and the Summer Games experience the best for visitors and for local spectators alike. It was more than a team effort … it was a community effort.

There will be some considerations to be made regarding the use of any “legacy dollars” left over from the Games. At first there was the suggestion that besides the upgraded facilities and fields, the Energy City might be able to claim about $60,000 from the total $3.4 million Games. That discussion will be held in good time.

The template is there to hand over to the next host city. That’s another positive.

There was a renewing of our city’s volunteer and leadership base. That’s a good thing.

We have hundreds of volunteers in our midst who are happy to serve as unsung contributors to the common cause.

We found them at the gates, dormitories, kitchens, fields and security gates all over the city. That’s a positive thing we can lodge in our memory banks.

We have coaches and officials, locally and provincially who can be thanked and who probably won’t hesitate to return when needed because they were treated fairly and decently while in our city.

In other words, we have rebuilt our base for the city thanks to the Saskatchewan Summer Games. That’s a really good thing.

And notwithstanding these attempts to make moving oil by rail safer, there were 146,000 shipments of crude oil down the tracks in Canada.

Simply put, an oil car derailment poses risks to both public safety and the environment, which is why Premier Brad Wall continues to argue for pipelines, even in the wake of the mess we now see on the North Saskatchewan River shores.

But that in no way means pipeline safety gets a free pass from Wall or any government leader. Sadly, the Saskatchewan Party administration could have done much more before and after this disaster.

Sure, some argue the July 21 spill of 250,000 litres of heavy oil from the Husky Oil pipeline into the river is small by industry standards. The pipeline spill in Kalamazoo, Michigan, spilled 16 times more oil into their local waters.

But consider the impact of this supposed small spill. Major Saskatchewan communities like North Battleford, Melfort and Prince Albert have been ordered to preserve water.

This has included Saskatchewan’s thirdlargest city having to get a 30-kilometre hose to pump in water from a safe source.

Small communities and farms along the river have simply been left to their own devices. The situation could go on for weeks, if not months.

Frighteningly, spills are more common than we think. According to the Environment Ministry, there have been 8,360 spills in Saskatchewan since 2006 (with Husky Oil being responsible for 1,463). In fact, there have been 18,000 such Saskatch-

ewan spills since 1990 and government is spending less, not more, when it comes to monitoring them.

The 2016-17 budget cut funding for the Petroleum and Natural Gas branch by $2.7 million. While that did not result in layoffs among the 27 pipeline inspectors in Estevan, Kindersley, Swift Current, Lloydminster and Regina, there is less than one inspector for every 1,000 kilometres of pipeline in this province.

More accountability is required. It took Husky Oil 14 hours to shut off the leak because it only identified it as a pressure anomaly. Sadly, we are instead seeing “regulation by declaration,” in this industry because the government cannot keep up.

Yet Wall and company certainly demonstrated no urgency in personally addressing the matter.

Wall took a mind-boggling six days after the July 21 spill to speak to reporters. Even though Wall finally did say last Wednesday he was not satisfied with the response and promised to tour the area the next day, he also insisted enough checks and balances were in place and that there was no “egregious error or bad judgment.”

No egregious error or bad judgment, yet rural communities and bigger cities are now in a crisis because of this spill.

One cannot help but think the promotion of moving oil by pipeline rather than rail is the reason for this tepid response from Wall.

Pipelines are likely safer, but this does not mean Wall gets to give pipeline safety a free pass.

“How many people do we need to thank?

“I was happy to see how smoothly things went.

“I don’t think Brian and I ever got really frustrated or angry. Except maybe for those continual arguments we always had.

And, of course, I’m joking. I don’t think we ever had a big disagreement over anything.

Our thanks to everyone for making the Games so successful,” Brian Smith, co-chairman Saskatchewan Summer Games in Estevan.

Letters to the Editor

Nothing to do in Estevan

Games official enjoyed his Estevan experience

Norm Park All Things Considered If you heard that comment from anybody in Estevan this past week, you would have had my permission to kick them in the shins.

What a fantastic time we had. Oh sure, you didn’t get to see everything and everybody you wanted to see in action during the Sask. Summer Games, but that was because you were busy volunteering, or waiting on or helping a visitor out or wading into some activity associated with the Games.

It seemed as if everybody in Estevan was engaged in something to do with the Games and we hope you just kept smiling and doing, even on Day 6.

What truly impressed me were the items that came along that simply enriched the whole Games experience, whether it be the cultural and recreational fun things offered at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum and the Souris Valley Museum that were Games-themed or the action at the library or just in the hallways and roadways between events.

Personally, I had a mint assignment with all those triathletes. What a determined and polite group of “get it done” kids.

Of course I was jealous of the fact I didn’t get to see the South East’s gold performance on the diamond, but I got to hook up with old friends at the volleyball court to see some South East players in medal action.

Another heartening aspect of these games was the positive attitude that prevailed throughout and the fact that most games included a good group of spectators who enjoyed the play whether it was by their own sons, daughters or grandkids or just fans of the game.

As I write this column, which I have to do in advance since this was also a long, so-called, “holiday” weekend, the Games still hadn’t rolled to a conclusion so I cannot comment on specific achievements or how our South East group did. I did know that heading into the Friday evening’s schedule, things looked good in the swimming pool and there were some hopes springing for the volleyball teams and maybe even a tennis player or softball team or two.

But really, winning wasn’t everything. Being here was!

I enjoyed my chat with the youngster from the North who won his team’s first medal, on Tuesday. He was thrilled and was excited to show me his silver prize, something he can take with him throughout his life’s journey. How about those Soccer girls from the far north who travelled two days by bus just to get to the extreme southeast part of the same province. I hope they had fun, and who cares if they won a game or not? I hoped they could hear Catriona Le May Doan when she told the athletes to absorb the sights, sounds and the experiences, since it wasn’t going to be the medals that will make them great. Playing the game right makes for greatness especially if you can share the moments not only with teammates, but also with your opposition. And that’s probably what I liked the most about these Summer Games.

There was no hatred.

I saw a lot of determination. I saw frustration, I saw success, I saw failure, I saw tears and I saw smiles and heard a lot of laughter, but I didn’t witness hatred. That’s not to say there wasn’t any, but if there was, it wasn’t on display.

I think our international Olympic athletes could take a lesson or two about the spirit of competition from those 12 to 16-year-old kids we had here in our city for a week.

None of them failed a drug test, none were caught cheating. All of them earned our respect and cheers.

The Editor: To the people of Estevan: I had the privilege of officiating one of the events during the Saskatchewan Summer Games and came away impressed with how your community worked together to be the host.

Thank you to the countless volunteers who always had smiles on their faces. Thank you to the workers who prepared the playing fields during long hours in the sun to enable the athletes and officials to go about their tasks.

Thank you to the organizing committee for your three years of work to put in place a majestic spectacle that will leave a legacy for all participants.

Warren Burrell Yorkton, Sask.

Proud of city and its residents The Editor: As a resident of Estevan I was so proud of my fellow citizens for the great job they all did in hosting the Summer Games.

I talked to a lot of athletes, parents and coaches from out-of-town and received a lot of praise for many areas including the facilities, housing, transportation, food, helpfulness and friendliness.

There were very few complaints that I heard.

Although most of my time was spent at baseball and softball, I heard lots of good things about the other venues as well.

I know the tremendous number of hours that were spent at these two facilities and I imagine the same took place at the other sports centres as well.

Congratulations to all of the orga-

nizers from the co-chairs through the sports chairs down to all the volunteers.

I also must include the opening and closing ceremonies. You all deserve a big pat on the back.

With a successful Western Canada Cup earlier this year, Estevan proves it can rank with the best in hosting major events.

Gary St. Onge Estevan

Hats off to Estevan volunteers The Editor: Hats off to the City of Estevan, all its employees and the volunteers who made the Summer Games a

whopping success.

I hear nothing but good comments on how clean the city was and how nice all the facilities were.

Congratulations to all.

Barry Dies Estevan

Discussion about swimming safety should now be a necessity Tim Hygard, a longtime resident of Estevan now retired from SaskPower, said that last week’s drowning incident at the Boundary Dam reservoir near the beach area, continues to bother him in terms of what could have been done, and now, what can be done in the future to prevent an event such as that from happening again.

Hygard said one of the first items that sprang to his attention was that perhaps the time has come to provide lifeguard services at the beach, at least during the months of July and August.

“Things have changed there. What used to be a free access recreation site is now a regional park. People now need to pay to get in, there are campers there every night, I’m sure they would appreciate it if the beach had lifeguard service during the day,” he said.

Hygard said he did not

want to leave the impression of pointing a finger at any agency or organization, but felt that following the loss of the 12-year-old boy, a dialogue should be opened regarding what might be done in the future.

“A sign proclaiming that you are swimming at your own risk or that a lifeguard is not on duty, is not protection,” he said. “There are some safety and legal measures such as signage, but the best way to protect them would be lifeguards,” he added.

“Maybe we need to talk about surveillance cameras.

Would they improve security regarding response times? I don’t know.”

Hygard added that Boundary Dam beach has been improved substantially over the past three or four years to include fresh sand, activity buildings, a playpark and other services and now the camp sites which

probably number over 100.

It’s a popular spot for activities during the hot summer days and especially for events such as the annual Beach Bash.

“I think we now have a responsibility to add what, to me, seems to be a vital service, some lifeguard attendants. It would be a good summer job for some responsible high school or university students with training, for two months.

They might patrol the beach, do a little minor maintenance work like raking the sand or doing a little debris cleanup in the morning before the people arrive,” he suggested. “I’m sure the camping population would appreciate the extra security.”

Hygard added, “with more activity, there is more need.”

He reiterated that “I’m not looking to blame anyone, and I don’t think this

Tim Hygard, seeking a solution is just a knee-jerk reaction to the tragedy, but let’s just think about it, let’s talk about it and maybe it could lead to some type of plan to reduce the danger.

“I’m sure other people have some ideas they might want to forward to the Woodlawn Regional Park Authority and the park management. They would have to talk about liabilities, costs, and things that guys like me don’t know about, but I believe the conversation should be held now that there is a lot more activity out there compared with a few years ago.”

Gold rush and silver streak on volleyball court

By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca

NEED NEW BLINDS?

Sometimes a handshake can be one of the most difficult things to do when it comes to the field of play in the sporting world. The vanquished are required to shake the hand of the victor and that’s not always easy.

Another difficult job in the world of sports, is to develop leadership skills in the midst of the battle.

Those two talents were required of South East Saskatchewan athletes on the volleyball courts last Saturday afternoon.

The boys volleyball squad accepted, what seemed to be, the inevitable as they attempted to do what no other team (including themselves during round-robin pool play) had been able to do during the entire Sask.

Summer Games tournament — beat Saskatoon.

They did accomplish one thing, they took one set from the favoured Hub City squad, something no one else had been able to do, before succumbing to the numbing offensive attack from their taller and well-disciplined court foes.

They accepted their 2522, 19-25, 15-7 three-set loss with a sense of pride.

While their male counterparts were forced to settle for silver, the South East girls were riding an emotional high throughout their goldmedal match-up with Rivers West (North Battleford, Rosetown, Kindersley).

The young ladies from this region were feeding off the passion and talents of an otherwise unassuming young lady, Jacey Rowland from Pangman who indicated early on in the match that defeat could not be considered an option. They hitched their wagon to that attitude and rode away with a two-set 2511 and 25-13 victory.

Rowland elevated the level of play in her teammates plainly and simply.

The leadership role, planned, or not, sifted to the surface gradually as the South East girls rolled through pool and semifinal play. That passion to succeed erupted in the finals, leaving their court rivals, and even their coach in a flabbergasted mode of deployment.

Led by the talented Rowland who provided steady serving skills, slams and tips at the net to unprotected floor spaces that befuddled Rivers West defenders, the Pangman powerhouse delivered a succinct message … not now Rivers West, not today.

“I got this team at the end of May. I had coached

Following the contest, he said, “I didn’t totally expect this outcome, heck no, but these girls welcomed the challenge and the crowd obviously was behind them.

That was a big factor and I was absolutely astonished at how focused this team was. They were dialed into this game and nothing and nobody was going to beat them.”

The South East boys were nearly as impressive on the cohesiveness front as their coach Patrick Winand, from Regina, spotted some early maturation among the young team he patched together in that same twomonth period.

“Saskatoon plays a different kind of game, we knew we’d have to play our best defensively in order to make an impact,” he said. They did just that, stunning the Saskatoon gold medalist with their only set loss, before finally

Olivia Kramer was the

The swimming competition at the Estevan 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games didn’t feature a medal haul for the participating Golden Eels athletes with Team South East, but it did showcase a group of kids continually pushing themselves to reach their personal best.

“I couldn’t be happier,” said Hannah Mantei, 14, who earned a bronze medal in the 200-metre female breaststroke race and in the 4x100m female freestyle relay with Taeghan Hack, Bryn Lamontagne and Adah DeLeeuw. “I got personal bests in all my races and actually just the one race I did today (the 400m freestyle on Saturday) I took off 16 seconds from the beginning of the month.”

J o s h Wi l s o n , 1 3 , earned a bronze medal in the 4x100m male medley relay with Aden Dickinson, Tre Thompson and Carson Wheeler, the 50m male butterfly race and the 4x50m male freestyle relay with Aden, Tre and Levi Cooley.

In addition to winning a medal in the 50m butterfly event, Josh also broke the Saskatchewan record time for the race by .01 seconds.

“One hundredth of a second, so really close,” said Josh, noting another swimmer then beat his time to capture the record. “It’s a big accomplishment because I’m a summer swimmer and there are a lot of winter swimmers here and they swim all year round and I just swim for two months.”

Adah, 13, said the competition at the Summer Games was very tough and she is proud of taking home a bronze medal for the 4x100m female freestyle relay. She said the challenge of facing winter swimmers at this competition was part of its attraction.

“It’s just really fun,” said Adah, “but it’s also really nerve-wracking and it takes a lot of effort.”

Akeela Jundt, head coach of Team South East, said there wasn’t any extra training ordered for their swimmers before the Games due to their incredibly busy schedules with their own home clubs leading up to the competition. She said these kids practise Monday to Friday and swim in meets on the weekend during their season and each and every one of them was ready to go when the Games began.

“I’m happy with that and I’m happy with the attitude they brought to the Games because they were such a positive team,” said Jundt. “They were the best to work with and they were so happy just to be here. It was really cool.”

Taeghan, 14, said the chance to compete in front of big crowds of cheering supporters at their home pool also made the experience of participating in these Games something to remember.

She said that was an added benefit to the opportunity of facing more seasoned swimmers in competition.

“It’s different,” said Taeghan. “They’re good, but going against them and realizing that you’re faster than them is just a good feeling.”

Equestrians prove teamwork leads to Summer Games success

By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

The Estevan 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games provided an opportunity for the South East equestrian team to have some fun and capture a few medals in the process.

The barrel racing competitions proved to be Team South East’s strength with Kayla Wanner winning a silver medal with a two-day and four-race combined time of 1:14.390 and Kia Rosenbaum capturing the bronze thanks to a time of 1:14.877 in the individual co-ed event that was held last Thursday and Friday at the Estevan Exhibition Grounds. In the barrel racing co-ed team race on Saturday morning, the South East squad of Wanner, McKenna Desau-

tels and Rosenbaum owned the podium with a gold medal winning time of 1:13.814 among the three competitors.

Indian Head’s Rebecca Russell also captured a bronze medal for Team South East in the individual co-ed jumping competition with a two-round points total of 33. The closest that members of Team South East got to a medal in the reining challenge was a fourth-place showing in the co-ed team event that featured Radville’s Erin Galarneau and Odessa’s Clayton Spencer.

“It was fun,” said Clayton, 13, noting reining involves completing a pattern in the show ring where a horse and rider does spins, races down the sides of the ring before rolling back in the other direction, makes a sliding stop and pushes back in reverse.

“It’s a lot of teamwork with your horse.”

Redvers’ Robynne Moreau, Maryfield’s Hailey Olson and Edenwold’s Rylie Reichel won a bronze medal for Team South East in the dressage co-ed team competition with a two-rider percentage score of 123.4. Rylie, 17, said the win came down to teamwork and coordination with their horses as well as a lot of hard work at practices before the Games.

“Today was our lucky day,” said Rylie about the dressage competition where riders dressed in English attire complete a course with their horse in an allotted time.

My horse True West Madison “was a lot more calmer and she listened a lot better and she was having as much fun as I was.”

Regina youth taking over canoe/kayak competition

By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

While walking along the beach at Boundary Dam during the canoe/kayak event at the Estevan 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games, it would appear to most that Team Regina’s athletes seemed a lot smaller than their competition.

That’s because 14 of the 16 kids on their roster are under 13 years of age.

's

A further seven of these athletes are 11 years old and younger or both in the case of one girl during the July 28 to 30 canoe/kayak competition.

“I didn’t have a birthday cake,” said Gracie Neiser, who turned 11 on July 28, “but a coach was like ‘I broke my leg’ to get me into this one place and then once we were all there they were all ‘surprise’ and they sang me Happy Birth-

day and I got cupcakes.”

Brianna Hartness, coach of Team Regina, said the majority of athletes in the canoe/kayak event are 15 or 16 years old and have been training in this sport for quite a few years.

She said most of their kids have been paddling for two years with some members of their team, including Gracie, only taking up the sport in the past year.

“This year is a learning

experience for them to get some racing experience and to see what the Games are about,” said Hartness, noting the kids have been holding their own by making a number of finals.

Zoe Mortin, 11, helped her Regina teammates McKenzie Millar, Mattea Patterson and Jasper Paul win a gold medal in the K1 200-metre relay final.

She said getting a chance to compete with kids four and five years older is fun and interesting because it gives her a chance to see how well she can do.

“I would say you have to keep believing,” said Zoe. “You can’t just think I got this. It’s I can do this.”

Gracie said the Summer Games are a good way to get more experience in

racing and get better at the sport. She said hopefully down the road that might transfer into even bigger and better competition.

“My older sister and her best friend want to be at the Olympics together,” said Gracie, shortly after competing in the K2 4000m race with Zoe. “Maybe we can go to the Olympics too.”

Team South East wins the gold in boys doubles

By Sam Macdonald smacdonald@estevanmercury.ca

Taris Rae of Carlyle tossed four innings of no-hit ball for Team South East in the fifth-place game in softball during the Saskatchewan Summer Games.

Host team finishes sixth in softball

By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca

Early deficits and lateinning rallies were common for Team South East in softball during the Estevan 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games.

Team South East went 1-3 to finish sixth during the tournament, which was staged from July 28 to 30 at the Pleasantdale Softball Diamonds. The host entry trailed early in each of their games, and managed to win only once, a 13-11, extra innings decision over Team South West in their opening game.

The South East trailed 8-5 through six innings in the opening game, but rattled off four runs in the top of the seventh to lead 9-8.

Team South West scored once in the bottom of the stanza to tie the game, but the South East scored four more times in the eighth to win.

In their next game, South East lost 4-2 to Regina. Regina scored twice in the first and third innings, and while the South East was able to get single runs in the fourth and the sixth frames, they couldn’t plate the tying runs.

Their third game was another 4-2 loss to Rivers West. Once again, the South East fell behind 4-0, this time after five innings.

They scored twice in the top of the sixth to cut the deficit

in half, and appeared to add another, but the umpire’s call was reversed, negating the third run.

“I thought that was a huge turning point in that game,” said coach Jody Waloshin.

The loss left the South East in the fifth-place game against Prairie Central. The host team scored one in the top of the first inning, but Prairie Central scored four in the bottom of the first, and six more in the bottom of the second to chase two South East pitchers from the game.

“We tried to get all our pitchers involved in our games, and those were the last two pitchers who, pretty much, didn’t see a lot of time for pitching,” said Waloshin. “They were pitching great, but the batters for the other team just found the holes.”

Team South East turned to Taris Rae of Carlyle to pitch, and she allowed just one walk in the final four innings.

The local team chipped away at the lead. They scored three times in the fourth and twice in the fifth to make the score 10-6. And after they were blanked in the sixth, the first three hitters in the top of the seventh reached base.

But Prairie Central retired the next three batters to end the game.

Waloshin was pleased with the way his team stayed

together, and celebrated each other’s accomplishments.

“It wasn’t just one person making the big difference, it was everyone,” he said.

He noted that Rae and Shanelle Rioux of Estevan were outstanding on the mound throughout the tournament, and minimized the number of runs allowed.

Team South East had 14 players from eight communities, including four from Estevan. Mackenzie Skuce was among the Estevan players on the team. She thought it was a fantastic experience to compete in the Games at home.

“I was really excited to be picked for the team,” said Mackenzie, who has been playing softball since she was eight years old. “I didn’t think I had that good of a chance, so this was cool.”

She believes the team came together quickly. The first practice was tough, because she didn’t know anybody, but the sense of unfamiliarity didn’t last long.

“It felt like we had been playing for years with them, instead of just a couple months,” she said. “They’re close friends.”

Te a m S a s k a t o o n wound up taking the gold in softball with a 3-2 victory over Team Lakeland in extra innings. Regina edged Rivers West 6-5 to win the bronze medal.

In the final stretch of the Estevan 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games on Saturday, Team South East earned its sole gold medal in tennis, with Clark Cabiluna and Aden Haywood taking first place in the boys doubles event.

It was a success story for Cabiluna and Haywood, who both under the tutelage of Regina coach Ro Euraoba, earned the first gold they’d ever won in tennis against Team Regina. Cabiluna and Haywood defeated their opponents 2-0 (6-2, 6-3).

Their victory was an achievement that both boys took pride in, since they had only begun training to compete in the Games a little less than a month before they played.

“It’s kind of crazy that we only had less than a month of training. We practised five hours a day, and we ended up winning gold. It was pretty incredible,” said Haywood.

“The strategy that worked most for us was to stay active on the net, and to follow through on our forehand.

Cabiluna and Hawyood’s game started strong, with plenty of hard hitting in the first set. That style of play kept Team Regina on their toes. Then, into the second set, things started to pick up speed, as Team Regina began to match their pace and play just as intensely.

“The game started with consistency in serves. It was exciting because their opponents are also the kids I work with in Regina,” said Euraoba. “I just mentioned to them, ‘Guys I want you to be active at the net.’ Tennis is always about net play. Be consistent, and if you’re in trouble, make sure to land the ball.”

Euraoba said that into the second set, “the opponents rose up to their level,” and scored more than in the first round. He added that Team South East continued with strong plays in the face of the challenge they were given by the other team, with fast, efficient footwork and the same consistency with which they started the game, galvanizing their lead and victory.

Euraoba emphasized how impressed he was with the power behind the serves and strokes delivered by Team South East, which

Aden Haywood stands ready during the boys doubles finals at ECS on July 30. never wavered throughout the entire game. At several points Haywood and Cabiluna delivered difficult serves from the back of the line, across the court — a feat that he noted as particularly impressive for players who only started playing about a month ago.

“They weren’t lobbing the ball back, or making it easy for their opponents,” said Euraoba.

The boys followed the fundamentals Euraoba had been training them in, over the past month, using what they just learned to follow through on each play, to reach victory.

“We broke them with consistency, and without top spin,” said Euraoba. “But hats off to our opponents, too.

They also did a great job.”

In the female singles, Esmee Wasylynka of Regina took the gold, while Emily Blackmore of Moose Jaw with Team South West won the silver medal and Team

Prairie Central’s Ceili Bracha of Warman won bronze.

In the male singles, William Preciado of Saskatoon won gold, Regina’s William Lowe won silver and Colby Kirsch of Yorkton, representing Team Parkland Valley, took home the bronze medal.

Team Saskatoon won the gold in female doubles, with Team Regina winning silver and Team South West winning the bronze. In male doubles, Team South East won the gold, Team Regina took home the silver medal, and Team Parkland Valley was awarded bronze.

Team Saskatoon took the gold in mixed doubles, Team Regina won the silver medal and Team Prairie Central went home with the bronze medal.

In the mixed team division, Team Regina took home the gold medal, Team Saskatoon won the silver, and Team Prairie Central was awarded the bronze medal.

Clark Cabiluna, contributing to Team South East’s win in male doubles tennis, leaps into a serve.

David Price to forever be remembered at the horse race

By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

David Price will eternally remain a part of his beloved horse race at TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club.

Price, who died last October in a car accident, has been honoured by TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club’s executive and management who renamed the annual horse race the David Price Memorial. The horse race features the top 12 golfers from the first round of the three-day August Classic golf championship competing against each other in a separate tournament on the evening of the second day of the Classic.

“As soon as he started golfing in the August Classic he just really liked (the horse race),” said Taunia Turnbull, who is Price’s daughter. “People come, they follow around in their golf carts and it was just a really fun event and families could come watch. He loved doing family things, so I think that is why he loved it the most because everybody’s family could

come out and watch their dads or brothers golf in it.”

Taunia’s brother Tyson grew up caddying in the horse race for his father until he was old enough to make a run for the final 12 himself and then when Price failed to make it in and Tyson did he would caddy for him. Tyson said the final spot in the horse race came down to a play-

was the same as earning a berth himself.

“Me and my dad went to Hole 8 and I had two really bad shots and then my third shot I had probably a 35-foot putt for par and he had a nice two-putt par,” said Tyson. “I thought, oh, I don’t know, this is a hard putt. I doubt this is going to go in. So, I just wung it and I ended up draining the

him with that putt and then also I couldn’t actually believe I made the putt, so I was (the same way) with that on my shoulders.

We ended up getting to the green and I made a putt and he missed his, so it made me transfer into the horse race.”

Kyle Mulligan, gen-

eral manager of TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club, said the decision to name the horse race the David Price Memorial was made the moment their board of directors and management team heard he had passed away. He said the honour was bestowed because of Price’s dedication towards making golf accessible to junior players, his years of service on the club’s board of directors and his overall support of the horse race, TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club and the game itself.

“He was just a great advocate of the game of golf and not just golf in Estevan but golf provincially,” said Mulligan. “He played in multiple provincial championships. He took his son Tyson to many junior golf tournaments throughout the province. He just embodied the game of golf. He loved it. It was something that he was very passionate about and this whole weekend (of the August Classic) was the week for him to shine.”

Parnell Pidhorny, who regularly joined Price for a game, said the horse race has emerged as a major part of the August Classic in the 35 years he’s been competing in it. He said getting the chance to play in front of a crowd of cheering spectators is not something most golfers get to experience, so earning a spot on that first day is what golfers strive for.

“In a three-day golf tournament there are fewer people who have a chance

of winning the whole tournament, but a player that can have one hot round on the first day and qualify for the horse race that’s the highlight of the weekend for them,” said Pidhorny.

“It’s a fun event. It really is. People are out there.

They’re gathered around the greens in a gallery situation like you see on TV, so it’s fun and it’s a little nerve-wracking.”

Tyson said his father would be ecstatic about having the horse race named after him. He said every year everybody knew his father wanted to make the horse race and even if he didn’t he would be at the course watching the action.

“It was always one of his favourite things to do that time of year,” said

Tyson. “It would mean a lot to him and it means a lot to our family to have that named after him.”

After not making the horse race in two or three years, Price again got a chance to compete with the opening day’s top 12 golfers last year only to be knocked out on the first hole. Taunia said he was pretty disappointed with the result, but walked it off and came back to his family.

“He came and sat with (my two-year-old son) on the green and they just played,” said Taunia. “It’s a good memory of mine.

I’m glad Eli was there and they played. It was the last picture we had of dad and Eli at my dad’s favourite place, the horse race.”

Steady weekend at FrameTech August Classic leads to two championships

By Jamie Harkins sports@estevanmercury.ca

A bit of rust didn’t stop one golfer from capturing two prestigious championships this past weekend.

Dallas Lequyer shot an opening round 74 (2over) and a second and third round 72 (par) for a three-round total of 218 to win the annual FrameTech August Classic, which was

held Saturday to Monday at TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club. Lequyer also captured the inaugural David Price Memorial horse race championship at the course on Sunday evening beating

Rob Pelequin on a second playoff hole in front of hundreds of cheering spectators.

“It was absolutely the best experience I’ve had golfing for a very long time,” said Lequyer after competing in front of approximately 250 fans of the horse race who followed the 12 competitors around the course in about 80 golf carts during the 18-hole tournament. “I’ve played in other course’s (horse races), but I’ve never had one where there’s been this many people around. It’s fantastic. The atmosphere is unbelievable.”

After matching each other shot for shot on the 18th and final hole of the horse race, the two golfers were forced to compete in a playoff on Hole 1.

Lequyer managed a steadier approach to the hole than Pelequin, but missed his putt to force a second playoff on Hole 2.

“He kind of got into some trouble off the tee and it ended up punching out, which was bad luck for him,” said Lequyer. “I had a pretty good shot in there and I put the heat on him and just finished it off.”

With a four-stroke lead heading into the final day of the August Classic, Lequyer hit a steady round of 16 pars, one bogie and one birdie. However, his nearest rival, Jay Thiesen, went all in hitting two bogies, 11 pars and five birdies to finish with a final round of 69 and three-round total of 219 to come within one stroke of tying Lequyer.

“I putted really well today,” said Thiesen. “Just kept it in play until 18 there (where) I had a wayward drive, but other than that my putter kept me in it.”

Lequyer said the final round of the August Classic was about his 10th time hitting the links this season

and his play is a little hit and miss right now. He said that showed on Monday, but playing when another golfer is racing to catch up to you and the heat is on to stay ahead will bode well for him hitting the back stretch of the summer.

“This is only the third tournament I’ve played in all year, so it’s a good jumpstart,” he said. “I’ve got a couple more left this year and it’s a good confidence booster.”

Golfers also capturing first-place finishes at the FrameTech August Classic are: Ryan Stovin, first flight; Lee Symons, second flight; Grant Henneberg, third flight; Dylan Smith, fourth flight; Kaiden Antoniuk, fifth flight; Trevor McNabb, sixth flight; Cheryl Kendall, female championship; Carl H e n n e b e r g , s e n i o r ’s championship; and Rod Deichert, senior ’s first flight.

EAGM summer programs now coming near the end It was an eventful July for young people at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum (EAGM), as the organization hosted four weeks of Artist in the Making summer camps.

The EAGM wrapped up its summer camps on July 28 with a reception that was held inside of the art tent that was set up in the EAGM’s parking lot, as part of the cultural activities for the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games.

Camp participants showed their works to parents and other family members, and took the art home.

“The kids were great,” said Martina Veneziano, who is the educator at the EAGM. “They’re a very artistic bunch of kids.”

She suspects the numbers might have been down a little this year, but she estimates there were about 20 participants each week, which she views as a good number.

The art camps ran from Monday to Thursday each week. The first week, from July 4 to 7, celebrated diversity through art.

“We did art from different cultures,” said Veneziano. “They made rainsticks, drums and batiks.”

The second week focused on two-dimensional and three-dimensional art.

The young people created three-dimensional cans, bean mosaics, chalk art and

The third week was the annual Art in Advertising Camp. Participants created ads that will be sponsored by local businesses, and will appear in an upcoming edition of the Mercury. Not only do the kids get to have their ads published, but they gained a greater appreciation for the work that goes into creating newspapers.

In the final week, the

children combined art and activity. They made kites, pendulum paintings and catapults, and participated in a dye paint fight.

This was the first year Veneziano has been the educator at the EAGM, and she was praising the experience of the camps once they were Olivia Lee was among the participants in the finished. She believes they Estevan Art Gallery and Museum’s summer are great activities for young arts camp. people during the summer months.

The story of the week is that Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet.

He also ate very little, which made him rather frail, and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. That made him a “super callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.” How’s that?

The jam session is coming up on Aug. 14. The club hopes to see a lot of people in attendance.

Carrie Leptich was the winner in bridge for the week of July 25. Joan DeRosier was second and Hazel Benison was third.

The winner in cribbage was Russell Daniels. Frieda Krupka was second and Al Fellner was third.

When my husband and I arrived at the car dealership to pick up our car, we were told that the keys were locked in it.

We went to the service department and found the mechanic working feverishly to unlock the driver ’s side door. As I watched from the passenger side, I tried the door, only to discover that it was unlocked.

“Hey!” I yelled at the mechanic. “This door is open.”

To which he replied, “Yeah, I know. I already got that side.”

Exhibit is a tribute to Roughrider fans

By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca

The Estevan Art Gallery and Museum (EAGM) was looking for a way to bring sport and art together in honour of the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games in Estevan.

They believe they have done just that with a trio of new exhibits.

The EAGM held a reception on July 28 for their three new exhibits: Spectate by Regina artist Belinda Kriek; It’s All Greek to Me by Toronto’s Lee Goreas; and Chalk, Wheat and Diamonds, which is the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame’s touring exhibit on Saskatchewan’s contributions to the AllAmerican Girls Professional Baseball League.

Kriek was in Estevan for the reception, which took place with a couple of days remaining in the Games. Spectate features several towering oil on canvas paintings of Saskatchewan Roughrider fans, as well as many smaller photos depicting faces and hand gestures seen at Rider games.

While she was taking the photos, she felt an incredible energy coming from the fans behind her.

Kriek turned and marvelled at the spectators.

From that moment, she wanted to focus on the fans, and eventually, she came up with this tribute to Rider Nation.

She tackled the larger paintings first. She loved to interact with fans outside Mosaic Stadium, or “the arena,” as she calls it, because it creates a connection between theatre and sport.

“So, outside the arena, in front of the gates, there was, at that time, these extremely decorated fans, diehard fans, who decorated themselves with costumes.”

At that time, Kriek found the outfits weren’t as commercialized as they are now, so fans used initiative and creativity to come up with something that represented the team.

She was amazed to see fans dressing as pirates, or wearing green and white Mexican luchador wrestling masks.

Kriek believes she captured about 40,000 images, and used some of them, with permission of those fans.

She describes herself as a fan of the Riders, but she is an even bigger backer of their fans. When she first started documenting the fans, she became a big fan of the spectators.

And as she started to pay closer attention to the fans, and their almost zealous support of the team, she became a fan of the Riders and the CFL. “When you become familiar with the rules, it makes more sense,” said Kriek. “So you start watching closer. Every time there’s a game, I would buy a ticket … and that gulf of excitement overwhelms you.”

Kriek started dabbling in art in South Africa. She started painting in fabric, which was a very popular activity in the country at that time. She has also

Belinda Kriek stands next to Creating the Legend, an oil painting of a mask-wearing Saskatchewan Roughrider fan. It’s one of several large oil paintings included in her exhibit, Spectate, which is currently on display at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum. worked with ceramic clay and other substances using a kiln.

She earned a degree in visual arts, with a major in oil painting, from the University of Regina in 2012.

Working on the human form is something that she

has always been interested in, and the works in Spectate are just another example of that.

“Since we arrived in Canada, there’s hardly a day where I did not paint,” said Kriek. “It’s part of who I am within this coun-

try, and making art and finding that sweet spot in front of the canvas is a part of me.”

Estevan Mercury

Police report few problems during the Saskatchewan Summer Games Members of the Estevan Police Service (EPS) encountered few problems related to the Estevan 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games that were held from July 24 to 30, but they were busy with other calls during the final week of July.

Members of the EPS assisted with traffic control following the Games’ opening ceremonies on July 24 and the closing ceremonies on July 30. They also had a presence at the barricades and detours in central Estevan from July 25 to 27, as several roads were closed due to the triathlon. Motorists obeyed the detours.

But in their press releases following each shift, they didn’t report any problems with the Games or any of the associated events.

The EPS congratulates the people of Estevan for hosting a very successful event and showcasing the community.

In other recent police news, members received a report of someone trapped in an elevator at Affinity Place during the July 25 day shift. The Estevan Fire Rescue Service and the EPS attended and quickly freed the trapped occupant.

The elevator was closed for repairs.

Police conducted a traffic stop near a local drinking establishment during the July 25 night shift. When police approached the vehicle, the smell of marijuana was detected. The male occupants were told to exit the vehicle and were detained. A large amount of marijuana and ecstasy were located inside the vehicle.

One male was charged with possession of a controlled substance, and another male was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the

purpose of trafficking. They will answer to the charges on Sept. 12.

Members of the EPS, the Estevan RCMP and the Estevan Combined Traffic Services unit were at the Estevan Airport during the July 26 day shift for the performance by the Snowbirds, and to assist with traffic control. No major issues arose out of it and members did their best to keep traffic flowing safely.

Police were also called to Bourquin Road for a vehicle that hit a light pole and left the scene. The driver subsequently went to the police station to report the accident.

Officers arrested a 39-year-old Regina man for impaired driving during the July 26 night shift. The vehicle was seen by police travelling without its headlights, and was stopped in the Estevan Shoppers Mall’s parking lot. The driver was arrested and taken back to the police station, where he provided breath samples.

He will face a charge of impaired driving and driving while over .08, and will appear in court Sept. 12.

Members received a call, through the Report Impaired Drivers (RID) line, from the Pleasantdale area during the July 27 day shift.

A female driver was located and found to be suffering from a medical condition.

She was transported to get medication and to ensure her safety.

A noisy party was reported in the 1500-block of Second Street during the July 27 night shift. Police attended and the homeowner was warned of the city’s noise bylaw.

Officers are investigating a complaint that was filed during the July 28 day shift of someone taking an automobile without consent.

The incident involves former spouses.

Members are also investigating a complaint of criminal harassment between two females. The matter has been ongoing and charges against both parties are being considered.

Police responded to a complaint of youths riding bicycles in traffic after dark during the July 28 night shift, resulting in several near-accidents with vehicles. The youths were located and spoken to about safe bicycle operation and wearing highly visible clothing.

Members conducted a traffic stop in central Estevan, which resulted in a 23-year-old man from Indian Head being arrested and charged with impaired driving and driving while over .08.

Police received a report of a missing person during the July 29 day shift. An Estevan male didn’t return home after a night out drinking. He was eventually located.

Members received a report of a fuel theft from a vehicle in the Hillside area.

The matter is still under investigation.

Police received two separate complaints of impaired drivers during the day. Neither of the vehicles were located. One of the

vehicles was reported as belonging to a local oilfield company. The head office in Calgary will be advised of the complaint.

Police arrested and charged a 24-year-old Creelman man with failing to comply with a probation order during the July 29 night shift, after a traffic stop on Cundall Drive. He was released for a court appearance in October.

Officers conducted numerous curfew checks on individuals that night.

A 36-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman are facing charges of failing to comply with their recognizances as a result of these checks.

Members warned a homeowner after a noise complaint in the Valley Street area.

A homeowner was also warned after his large dog escaped from his yard.

Police arrested a Stoughton female for breaching her release conditions during the July 30 day shift. She was charged and released from police custody, and is slated to appear in court on Aug. 8.

Police also received a report of a stolen purse.

The purse was located but its wallet and other contents were gone.

Police responded to an RID call in south Estevan

during the July 30 night shift. The vehicle could not be located.

Officers arrested and charged a 31-year-old Regina man with urinating in public after a complaint from a local lounge. He was lodged in cells until sober.

Police responded to several complaints of intoxicated individuals during the evening.

Members of the EPS and the Estevan Fire Rescue Service responded to two reports of gas leaks during the July 31 day shift. One was for natural gas and the second stemmed from a barbecue propane tank.

Both were resolved without incident.

Police are investigating a report of a motorist who failed to remain at the scene of an accident.

The collision occurred in a parking lot and is still under investigation.

Members responded to a report of an intoxicated male sleeping on a lawn

on King Street during the July 31 night shift. He had stopped to talk to another male and was resting. He was sent on his way and warned.

Officers received several more complaints of hitand-run accidents at local businesses. They are being looked into.

Members were called to several more complaints of animals being left in vehicles during the past week.

The public is reminded not to leave their pets or children in a locked vehicle while going into a store.

Police also received more complaints of the fraud involving someone pretending to be with the Canada Revenue Agency.

Police remind the public not to give out personal or financial information over the phone.

Officers and the fire department also responded to numerous false alarms and 911 hangup calls during the past week.

Officers issue many tickets for speeding Speeding accounted for the vast majority of the tickets issued by members of the Estevan Combined Traffic Services division during the week of July 24 to 30.

Sixty-six tickets were handed out to people exceeding the speed limit. One ticket was issued to a motorist who was travelling more than 60 kilometres per hour while passing an emergency vehicle.

The other tickets issued included: four to drivers who failed to wear a seatbelt; one to a passenger who failed to wear a seatbelt; two each for disobeying a stop sign and operating an unregistered vehicle; and one for unlawfully having window tint.

Members also gave out 18 warnings to motorists.

The Estevan RCMP and Estevan Police Service noted a fairly large number of motorists speeding on local highways prior to and during the long weekend. Both agencies are reminding motorists to slow down and arrive safely at their destinations.

Stalemated and stymied are operative words for Canadian oil and gas sector The forecast for oil and natural gas drilling in Canada remains unchanged said the Petroleum Services Association of Canada (PSAC) in its third 2016 updated report.

The association is still forecasting 3,315 wells to be drilled across Canada with only a few minor adjustments being made across various regions and provinces.

With average natural gas prices now in the C$1.90 mcf range and crude oil staying around US$42 per barrel for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and with the CanadaU.S. dollar exchange rate averaging around .76 cents, the status quo situation was in place.

Mark Salkeld, president and CEO of PSAC said, “Times are still tough for the Canadian oilfield service, supply and manufacturing sector, going on two plus years now and still with no indicators for positive change in the near future for the

majority of the sector. Drilling seasons, as we have come to know them, are pretty much non-existent. There may be some activity but nowhere near the levels we had in 2013-14. What a lot of people don’t realize is, when the oil and gas sector is not working, oilfield service equipment is parked for the most part, and there is no cash flow.”

Salkeld went on to say, “The entire sector is suffering and the trickle-down effects are rippling out to other areas of the economy which are feeling the pinch too. The number of petroleum service companies that have, or are in danger of, closing their doors forever is growing and the thousands of workers who lost their jobs are looking at every industry, every opportunity, to find work.”

On a provincial basis for 2016, PSAC now estimates 1,889 wells to be drilled in Alberta, down from the 2,773 wells that

were predicted in the original 2016 forecast. Approximtely eight per cent fewer wells are still expected to be drilled in British Columbia with PSAC’s revised forecast now at 315 wells for that province, down from the 344 predicted in the first forecast.

The revised forecast for Saskatchewan now sits at 946 wells compared with the 1,789 wells expected in the original prediction and Manitoba is forecasted to see just 158 wells drilled this year, a decline of 122 from the well count first predicted for 2016.

“The ongoing and frustrating lack of progress on gaining access to tidewater for our oil and gas is hindering Canada’s economic growth, costing the country billions of dollars in lost revenue and negatively affecting our ability to attract capital investment. Canada can help clean up the environment globally and raise the quality of life around the globe to a standard

that we enjoy and take for granted here at home if we could ever work our way to a decision to get our responsibly-developed oil and gas to the broader international market,” Salkeld said.

“PSAC continues to advocate for infrastructure projects, like major pipelines, and for well-decommissioning that will benefit the environment and put petroleum service workers back on the job. Losing the exceptional talent we have only exacerbates the problem when commodity prices rise and our customers look to the petroleum services sector for all of the service, supply and manufacturing requirements needed to responsibly develop oil and gas in all areas of activity across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin.”

PSAC is the national trade association representing the service, supply and manufacturing sectors within the upstream petroleum industry.

Where is your natural happy place in Sask?

NATURE CONSERVANCY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is wondering where people in Saskatchewan like to spend their time when they are out communing with nature.

To find out, the Conservancy has launched a campaign that it hopes will serve as a catalyst for people to spend more time outside.

The not-for-profit land conservation group wants people and families to

share their #NaturalHappyPlace along with photos and a short description of the site(s) they have discovered and spend some time in.

The Conservancy has created an interactive map of the country, and people are being invited to place pins on it to mark their favourite spots for everbody to see.

The objective is to have it become a crowdsourced guide to Canada’s

favourite places in nature and a valuable resource to give people and families ideas of places to visit.

“Many Canadians have a natural space they hold dear. A special trail, a secluded waterfall, a cottage or beach. We all cherish nature for our own reasons,” said John Lounds, president and CEO with the NCC. “We want to inspire people to share their
