Repaving to cost over $2 million

Life On The Farm Examined

⇢ B7

After looking at some short-term and longterm options to fix its disintegrating streets, the City of Estevan has decided upon a solution that sits somewhere in the middle.

And it’s not going to be cheap for all involved.

Speaking after Monday night’s regular council meeting, Mayor Roy Ludwig said the City will do a more extensive repaving job than they had initially discussed on the north leg of Highway 47.

Previously Ludwig said the City was looking at a quick project where they would simply strip off the asphalt and then put down a new layer, which is commonly described as a shave and pave. Instead, the City will go a little deeper and do some work on the actual road base before laying down new asphalt. “(The shave and pave) would have lasted one to two years, but we should be looking at five to eight years with this job,� he said. “We are hoping to schedule it so in five to eight years time we can get ready financially to take care of all

Mayor Roy Ludwig of the undergrounds, which will be our cost, and do the complete Highway 47 north and south.�

Ludwig said the decision to do a more extensive job was at the recommendation of their

engineer Kiflom Weldeab. It was felt for the amount of money it would cost — roughly $1.4 million — when compared to how long it would last, a shave and pave was not financially viable.

Furthermore, Ludwig said a complete repave did not make sense at this time since the truck bypass around Estevan has not been constructed yet. “Until we get this heavy traffic out of the City it will continue to deteriorate,� he said. “We want to put the big push on to get this bypass built so we can get the heavy traffic out of the City so once we do the road repairs and do them right it will last a long time and not just a few years.�

Although this new plan will buy the City a few more years before they undertake a total rebuild, it does come at a significant cost.

Ludwig estimates repaving from the CPR tracks in the centre of Estevan to the north edge of the City will cost roughly $2.5 million.

Fortunately for the City they will not have to pay the whole tab City ⇢A2

Tenders have been released for grading work on the Estevan truck bypass that will divert most of the commercial traffic travelling through Estevan.

The call for tenders on the local project was released along with the province’s spring 2013 tender release, which involved several other projects from across Saskatchewan.

The release noted the bypass will stretch for about 13 kilometres, and roughly 818,000 cubic metres will be excavated.

The bypass will go from Shand Road, east of the city, heading north of the Energy City and connecting back with Highway 39 west of Estevan.

Preconstruction work is nearly complete, including detailed design, utility moves and land acquisition, and construction on the bypass is hoped to commence this year. After a three-year construction period, that would place the opening of the route some time in 2016.

Kirsten Leatherdale of the Min-

istry of Highways and Infrastructure noted the construction schedule is ultimately up to the contractor, but once tenders are awarded, she said, the ministry likes work to start sooner rather than later. “That is always dependent on the contractor who gets awarded the contract. That will be negotiated in a preconstruction meeting. The start time would be dependent on weather, flooding, things that we don’t have control over as well as the contractor’s other commitments.

Ideally, we always at the ministry want to start a project as soon as we possibly can after the contractor is awarded the project.�

The truck route is expected to cost about $44 million, with $17 million of that coming from the federal government through the Building Canada Fund. Talks with impacted landowners about land purchasing are still ongoing, but Leatherdale said they are nearing completion.

Running Waters The rising of the Souris River can be seen south of Estevan at the low level crossing near Woodlawn Regional Park. The Saskatchewan Water Security Agency is continuing to monitor the situation locally and is expected to lower flows out of the local reservoirs this week.

City and province to split costs Land purchase ⇠A1 as Ludwig added that they have a verbal agreement with the provincial government to split the cost of the work. “We’ll be fl eshing it out in the next few days, but it looks like we will be getting into a 50/50 cost arrangement for Highway 47 north. We are very ex-

cited about that. That is the worst of our roads and we are also looking at something down King Street to Hillcrest Drive, which is a mess as well. We’ll have to shoulder that (cost). “After that we’ll have to look at doing something at Fifth and Sixth Streets, but we’ll keep everyone

informed as we flesh those out.�

While getting the money from the province is obviously good news, the City will still have a $1.25 million expense that it wasn’t expecting and hadn’t placed in their initial budget.

Ludwig said along

with cutbacks in some areas, council will almost certainly be raising the property tax mill rate this year. They are looking into the idea of instituting a separate tax levy that would go towards roadwork over the next few years until they get caught up. “Unfortunately as everyone knows, we have been falling behind in that area and now it is catch up time,� he said. “We are discussing options such as a road levy if you will, or other options at this time, but we are definitely looking at something along those lines.�

Ludwig did not say on Monday when he expects the work to begin.

However, in previous conversations he said they planned to start as soon as the weather permits.

nearing completion ⇠A1 “Most of it is done, but we still are working on some land acquisition. There’s not much more detail I can give on that because it’s a private negotiation with landowners,� said Leatherdale.

The release also said the ministry, City of Estevan and RM of Estevan have recently met with the consultant, who is looking at the possible long-term intersection requirements. The route will initially be constructed as a two-lane road, but the ministry noted the plan for the bypass has been developed to allow for the twinning as well as interchanges at the east and west ends, and at the junction of Highway 47. Those potential changes may be necessary with higher traffic volumes.

An open house outlining those potential additions will be held some time this summer, and Leatherdale said the ministry doesn’t have much to say about the subject prior to that public forum.

Traffic volumes and projected traffic volumes will be presented at the open house, but she said at this point, the consultant may not have that information prepared. “The purpose of the open house is to have that dialogue and have people come and look at the information and be able to talk with our staff and the consultant,� said Leatherdale. “This is for future intersection requirements, so this isn’t anything that’s going to affect the construction of the two-lane road.�

Estevan Mercury

Holy Family board brings business session to Estevan The Holy Family Roman Catholic Separate School Division brought their board members to Estevan on the evening of April 10 to hold their regular open business session in the St. John the Baptist Parish Office conference room.

The trustees spent some time discussing their linkage plans as well as their budget and tax mill rates with assistant director of education Keith Thompson and finance superintendent Cal Martin.

Attempts to have a video and audio link via Skype with director of education Shelley Rowein, who was in Weyburn, were only semi-successful for the first half hour and then abandoned due to technical glitches.

During the course of the meeting, it was learned that another relocatable classroom for Sacred Heart/ SacrĂŠ Coeur School in Estevan has been approved by the Ministry of Education.

An overflow situation existed in the school at the start of the academic year, which led to the establishment of a temporary classroom in the library for senior French immersion students in Grades 7 and 8.

The first relocatable classroom was finally finished and put into service in early 2013 and the need for another one has now been identified.

Martin briefed the trustees on the upcoming 2013-14 budget, which he said they should be able to scrutinize more carefully at their May meeting since a rough draft will be ready by then.

He noted there is an overall increase in funding of 2.1 per cent, which should cover most of the inflationary increases over the next fiscal year, making it a status quo budget.

Following reassessment of properties across the province this past year, the majority will be seeing an increase in assessed values. The provincial government has reduced the 2013 education mill rate to lower the impact on property owners and therefore that impacted the education tax rate too since the provincial government now collects and disburses the money for kindergarten to Grade 12 educational systems based on a province-wide funding formula.

Martin and Thompson pointed out that depending

on the amount of increase in assessment any particular property receives, some will be witnessing an increase and others might even see a decrease in property taxes. It will vary according to geographic areas and the types of properties. They noted, however, that assessment changes that would have resulted in higher or lower taxes being received by school boards under the old system doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t apply now, so higher property taxes in Estevan or Weyburn, for instance, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily translate into more dollars for Holy Family or the South East Cornerstone Public School Division.

As trustee Greg Metz noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the winners in this formula will always be the depressed areas and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a depressed area.â&#x20AC;?

Martin added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The government took the tax collection capabilities away from us. We can collect $1 million more this year in property taxes, but we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to keep it.â&#x20AC;?

Martin said his early preparation work for the budget shows an increase of $244,000 in the Holy Family budget compared with last year, and the upcoming closure of St. Dominic School in Weyburn will potentially lead to a drop in funding, but there is a promise of some transitional financial assistance and acknowledgment that transportation and other subsidiary costs will increase.

He added there is still no way to clearly predict what the funding will look like in years to come, with or without increases or decreases in assessments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Province-wide, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to be neutral. In this area there will be about a 20 per cent increase in property taxes due to an increase in values and volume but unfortunately the extra money wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily go to education,â&#x20AC;? Martin said.

Trustee Jerome Sidlosky said â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-teaching salaries and transportation costs are constantly going up, so somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to give.â&#x20AC;?

Thompson said there are still variances of costs and expenses are going up all over and it would be nearly impossible for the provincial government to arrive at a point where they can find a neutral ground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where is the average school division? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never get there,â&#x20AC;? said one trustee.

Thompson said it is expected that the Saskatchewan School Boards Association will make that point quite clearly to the province. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must know the facts and how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. We can issue a press release too,â&#x20AC;? said Sidlosky.

On the subject of linkages, the trustees, under the direction of chairman Bruno Tuchscherer, discussed holding meetings or corresponding with their traditional partners such as businesses that assign their property taxes to the Catholic system, city and town councils, MLAs, parents and priests.

Trustee Bev Hickie, when commenting on the communication with cities and towns, wondered out loud how interested the cities might be now that the school divisions can no longer collect taxes directly from them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure they like to know how youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re spending the money and what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing. We need to encourage the discussion,â&#x20AC;? said Thompson.

Last year, an invitation to Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city council to send representatives to meet with the Holy Family board did not result in any communication hook up.

It was noted, however, the invitation was to meet with the board in Weyburn where most of the regular monthly meetings are held. This time around it was agreed that the Holy Family representatives would make the effort to attend a city council meeting and bring the councillors up-to-date on what was happening in the division.

The two Estevan representatives on the Holy Family board are Hickie and Karen Melle.

The trustees were also informed that school masses will be held May 4 and 5 to celebrate Catholic Education Week and information regarding those events has gone out to the priests and parents and can be found in the church bulletins.

The trustees also learned the provincial auditor is doing a study to determine common governance challenges for school divisions across the province, but so far the school divisions have not heard much about it even though the process is to be completed by the end of May. The next general business meeting for the Holy Family board will be May 8 in their board office in Weyburn.

Dangerous, impaired driving charges prove expensive One man learned just how expensive things can get when he was sentenced for dangerous and impaired driving on Monday.

In Estevan provincial court, Kenneth Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s matters moved to sentencing after he was found guilty of dangerous driving, following a Dec. 19, 2011 incident involving an accident. The 36-year-old Alberta man had previously pleaded guilty to

impaired driving.

Crown and defence put forward a sentence together calling for a $3,000 fine and a mandatory one-year driving prohibition.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when costs began to stack up for Miller. Judge Karl Bazin said that $3,000 was a low fine under the circumstances, noting thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fine someone might see for their first offence without any charges of dangerous driv-

ing. Miller had a previous charge about 15 years ago, but the conviction didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play much into the proceedings.

Bazin ordered a further fine of $5,000 for the dangerous driving charge, on top of the $3,000 for the impaired charge, and ordered an 18-month driving prohibition.

The Crown added that the victim is also seeking restitution for their vehicle,

which was involved in the collision. Bazin ordered a restitution order of $5,258.

With victim surcharges added to the total, Miller will pay almost $13,500. He has one year to pay the fines.

In other court proceedings, Chris McGillicky appeared in custody after being arrested over the weekend.

The Estevan man faces charges of break and enter and theft.

McGillicky was remanded in custody and a bail verification report was ordered to be brought back for his next appearance and a possible show-cause hearing on April 18.

Gerald Kanigan also appeared in court on Monday.

The local man was in custody, brought into Estevan from the correctional centre in Brandon, and pleaded not guilty to charges of sexual

assault, sexual interference, drug trafficking, possessing the proceeds of crime and theft.

Kaniganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer entered not guilty pleas for him as the Crown chose to proceed by indictment on all charges. Kanigan selected a Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bench trial with a judge but no jury. A date for a preliminary inquiry was canvassed for either May 14 or 28.

Woodlawn Park preparing for flood possibilities Although they have no interest in a sequel, the staff of the Woodlawn Regional Park will be ready if there is another flood in 2013.

After being thoroughly devastated by the floods of 2011, Woodlawn has almost recovered and will be ready to host campers again in May. So it goes without saying that after putting in almost two years worth of work to get to that point, park staff and the board of directors are keeping a close watch on the Souris River this spring.

Manager Nathan Puffalt said Woodlawn has come to an agreement with the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency that would see the WSA pay 50 per cent of any temporary flood prevention measures Woodlawn Regional Park is preparing for the possibilty of a flood this spring. and 75 per cent of perma“Prior to going in there, we had ordered pedestals for nent work.

Puffalt said the park’s current priority is protecting plugging in the services that are two metres tall. I don’t the various buildings within the park such as Rotary Hall anticipate us to have the same water levels as 2011, so and Doug Third Hall. They have moved gravel to the all of our electrical service and water service that we put buildings and this week will be wrapping the buildings into those sites is going to be fine.”

Like everyone else who is watching the situation with a poly wrap and then placing the gravel over the wrap along the Souris, Puffalt feels the next couple of weeks to keep the water out if there is another flood.

“The snow has been removed from the buildings so will be critical. He said if we get a significant amount we can get in there and do that,” he said. “Hopefully that of precipitation over that time and the WSA is forced to is all we will need to do for now. As far as the campsites increase the flow from the dams, Woodlawn is likely to that we have been reconstructing for the past year, there experience some flooding. As of late last week, Puffalt noted the water was roughly three feet from their banks is not too much we can do at this stage.

with an outflow of 70 cubic metres per second from the dams. “(If it goes to) 100 m3/s we still might be fine. We might see a little water come over the banks but not enough to cause any damage. If we get anything more than that, it will be very touchy,” he said. “We have already put quite a bit of money into those buildings so we are going to make sure that the buildings for now are our top priority and if it comes to things getting worse than we imagined, then we will look at some permanent structures that we can put in.”

Along with keeping a constant flood watch, Puffalt said he and Woodlawn’s staff are attempting to get ready for the upcoming season although he admitted the weather has put them behind schedule.

“We are still looking good. Boundary Dam will be up, we’re hoping, for May 17. There isn’t too much to do out there to get it ready, it’s just a bit of site maintenance and tree pruning and making sure that our gatehouse is up running by then,” Puffalt said.

“As far as the gatehouse at Woodlawn, it’ll be on track but the new sites in the main campground we are still looking at a July long weekend opening for those, but that will depend on what kind of spring we have. All of the seasonal sites that we have down there, they will be open May 17 as well.”

Drama teams make their way to Lampman this weekend Five schools in the southeast area of Saskatchewan will be sending their drama production crews and actors to Lampman April 19 and 20 to compete in the Saskatchewan Drama Association’s Region 1 Drama Festival.

Christine Branyik-Thornton, theatre arts teacher at Lampman School, has been kept busy not only directing two high school drama productions for the competition, but also juggling those duties with the job of preparing to play host to the other schools.

“We’re very excited about hosting the festival this year,” Branyik-Thornton said. “This is our second time hosting the festival and we are excited to create an even bigger event this year.”

Starting on Friday, April 19 at 1 p.m., Oxbow’s Prairie Horizon School will perform This is a Test, and Fairy Tales Go to Court.

The evening program sees Arcola School’s drama production hit the stage at 7 p.m. with It’s Not You, It’s Me. After that, it’s the Gordon F. Kells School of Carlyle performing I Don’t Want to Talk About it,” followed

by Lampman School with Boy Meets Girl: A Young Love Story.

On Saturday, April 20, Gordon F. Kells School sends their second drama team onto the stage with Outside the Box, followed by Lampman School’s The Magic Fairy in the Microwave. The event closes with Moosomin’s McNaughton High School’s production of The Pitch.

Each school is being allowed 90 minutes for a technical rehearsal, and each performance must be under

60 minutes with 15 minutes being allowed for set-up.

On Friday evening, the festival participants will be entertained at a Mardi Gras-style carnival. Each student will be given Reggie bucks to spend on games of chance.

At the end of the carnival, door prizes will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Draws will be made for other door prizes during the Friday and Saturday suppers.

“We are grateful to staff and community members, drama parents and our school community council for volunteering to help out in any way they can. There’s absolutely no way we could do this on our own,” Branyik- Thornton said.

Community groups, businesses or individuals interested in donating items, money or services for the event may contact Branyik-Thornton at Lampman School 306-487-2522.

The final awards ceremony will be held on Saturday evening at the Lampman School around 6:30. The public is welcome and there is no admission for the awards ceremony.

The winner of the Region 1 competition will advance to the Saskatchewan Drama Association provincial festival to be held at the University of Regina Theatre Department May 11.

Gov't. failed Roche Percee The scars of the flood of 2011 are still visible everywhere.

You can see them along the Souris River where the raging waters permanently altered the landscape and a section of the campground at the Woodlawn Regional Park was swallowed up and swept down the river.

You can see them in the Lampman area where the waters have yet to subside, almost two years after the fact. There are farmers whose land is still underwater and will likely remain so for quite awhile. One unfortunate family still has its own lake.

But perhaps more than anywhere, you can still see the scars of the floods of 2011 in Roche Percee.

The once beautiful village tucked neatly away in the valley was rocked by the flood. All but a handful of homes on the flood plain were destroyed, along with the community hall and village office. A number of families lost their homes and many of them are still fighting to find a sense of normalcy after their lives, like the landscape, were irrevocably altered. The village itself is still fighting for its very survival.

At a meeting on April 3 in Estevan, the Village council laid out a plan for the future of Roche Percee. After months of working, waiting and hoping on a proposal that would have seen those people who lost their homes swap their land on the flood plain for land purchased at the south end of the village, the members of council simply did not see a light at the end of the tunnel and have moved on.

They will now work to develop the 10 acres of land they purchased for the possible swap. As mayor Blake Penna pointed out at the meeting, the plan is far from perfect, but it was their best chance to move forward.

The members of council should be credited for being pragmatic in a time when being pragmatic likely wasn’t very easy to do. Although Penna pointed out the Village’s request for funding from the provincial government to facilitate the land swap has never actually been given a yes or no answer, they are moving ahead. What other choice do they have, he noted.

But the question still lingers: why wasn’t Roche Percee given an answer? After everything the people of that village went through, did they not deserve an answer?

Perhaps they simply didn’t like this plan. The government has stated in the past it is not in the business of purchasing land and so it’s possible that this land swap proposal wasn’t something they found palatable.

If that was the case — and maybe it wasn’t — why not just come out and tell the Village that?

So many people lost so much when Roche Percee flooded. They went through the ordeal of trying to get fair value for their property and belongings from the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program and many of them were given sums they were less than pleased with.

Now, they have sat around for nearly two years waiting for something to happen that would allow them to return to their village, but they still face uncertainty. They deserve much better than this and they deserve an explanation from their government.

And while they are at it, perhaps the government might explain why after all this time, the dikes that were washed out or damaged in 2011 have yet to be repaired. The government is doing a fairly nice job of patting itself on the back about all the work they are doing to help communities get ready for the possibility of flooding in 2013, but they have yet to provide Roche Percee with money to fix the mess left behind in 2011. We’ve tried on more than one occasion and have yet to receive an answer. Roche ⇢ A7

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

Rurals not enjoying as much job growth It’s not exactly what you would classify as bad news for the province.

In fact the recent job numbers are actually alarmingly good - especially when you compare them with what has been going on in the rest of country when it comes to job creation.

Elsewhere in Canada, March saw the loss of 54,500 full-time, private-sector jobs from February, as Canada’s unemployment rate rose to 7.2 per cent.

But here in Saskatchewan, the unemployment rate fell to 3.9 per cent, passing Alberta for the lowest rate in the country.

To understand the significance of this, one just has to recall our not-so-distant history.

Gone are the days when Saskatchewan kids - especially, SERVING CANADA’S SUNSHINE CAPITAL

Dealing with the job markets It just gets crazier.

Last week we learned more about how the world of big business works.

It seems the big boys who outsource a lot of their work are bringing the outsourcer workers into insource so they can learn how to do the work properly by the insource workers and then they get sent back to India or Philippines or China to provide outsource duties while the insource people in Canada, who have taught the outsourcers how to insource from the outsource, are laid off or provided with diminished duties and pay.

You follow all that?

Apparently, RBC didn’t get it all right either and their president had to spend a few million of their profits to buy advertisements and commercial time to sort of apologize for doing what they and others have been doing for quite some time, but are just now getting exposed for the crafty, devious little tricks they’re pulling off to save a few bucks.

It backfired this time, but these global village practices will continue.

Unemployment is not an issue around here because the oil and coal is here. We can’t outsource it. Finding employees is the problem.

It used to be that our big corporations required big numbers of skilled and semi-skilled people to produce and push products. Manufacturing was North

Norm Park All Things Considered America’s game plan.

Not anymore.

Our biggest companies now, Apple, Amazon, Google and Facebook, all together employ just 190,000 people in North America. That represents the number of people who enter the U.S. workforce every two months.

They have outsourced, they are assembling their goodies in China and elsewhere.

Some companies, which have been doing this for years, even a decade or more, are finding that the process is becoming less and less attractive and profitable. Wages are climbing slowly in these emerging nations while wage rates descend in North America where unemployment is high.

They are struggling to get the right personnel in place. They discover the business infrastructure abroad isn’t as strong as it could be. They find that governments there are not as easy to work with as they are on this side of the water in terms of corruption, graft and greasing palms.

The business culture is different ... attitudes are different, conditions turn negative and confusing more often, requiring

rural Saskatchewan kids - would simply move to Alberta to find work, resulting in an artificially low unemployment rate.

Instead, as the March job creation statistics clearly indicate, Saskatchewan has become the place to come to find work.

Considering Saskatchewan’s most recent job numbers in the more-accurate context of year-over-year - a far better way to assess how well or poorly we are doing because it eliminates the issues of seasonal hiring, there were 544,700 people working in Saskatchewan in March - 25,700, or 4.9per cent, more than exactly a year ago.

What makes the March 2013 statistics even more impressive is the number employed represents a record for a month. Record job growth reflects record Saskatchewan population ... and all of this is happening when the rest of the country is sputtering.

Even a statistician like Doug Elliott of Sask Trends Monitor, who has seen employment go up and down in this province over the years, is starting to buy into the notion that something is very different in Saskatchewan.

“The longer this goes on, the more likely it is real and the less likely it is a statistical glitch,” Elliott said in reference to Saskatchewan’s rather stunningly good March job numbers.

While the overall job news for Saskatchewan is great, it isn’t exactly perfect, especially if you live in rural Saskatchewan.

Admittedly, it isn’t exactly time to push the panic button, but the numbers within the March job statistics also clearly indicate that rural Saskatchewan job growth is slowing.

The first number of concern is the 1,100 fewer jobs in

more hours from administration to fly back and forth putting out fires. They are finding they’d rather bring the issue back home where they can understand the problem, culture, personnel and plans.

Yes, the global village is smaller now, but the differences are still pronounced and often they don’t translate into efficiencies, or at least not as efficient as the big boys expected them to be.

And please don’t misinterpret. These are not prejudicial comments, just facts that have been pointed out by many people who make a living at assessing these things.

Heck, even trying to unify Canada and Canadian workers defies current logic. We have thousands of unemployed skilled workers in Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes who could probably land jobs in Saskatchewan and Alberta but won’t or can’t due to family and second jobs that would be lost, uneven education systems, housing issues and cultural challenges. I don’t even need to mention workers in Michigan and New York who could do with a good job in Saskatchewan or North Dakota. Lots of openings ... not a lot of takers.

So we’ll continue to look to Ukraine, Ireland, India, Philippines, Germany, Italy etc. for our next generation of production people and wait for the big boys to bring more jobs home eventually.

our traditionally strong oil, gas, mining and forestry sectors.

That we still saw increased employment when our breadand-butter resource sector was laying off people is good news for the province as a whole. But for a large swath of rural communities now depending on oil drilling and potash mining to keep the local economy going, less work in the resource sector isn’t the best news.

Fortunately, 7,900 more construction jobs in Saskatchewan than a year ago made up the difference. But Elliott noted that most of these construction jobs are a result of labour-intensive home building - and most of these homes and jobs building them are clearly happening in the major cities.

We know this because that’s what the building permits tell us. And the March job statistics are telling us pretty much the same story. There were 7,100 more jobs (5.8 per cent, year-over-year) in Regina and 10,600 more jobs (7.2-percent more) in Saskatoon.

Admittedly, it wasn’t all bad news for the rural economy.

There were 7,600 more agriculture jobs, year-over-year - a surprising increase, given that there was far less farming being done in the cold March of 2013 than in March 2012 when some farmers were already on the land.

But we need to be cautious because we know the trend towards fewer farmers. It’s possible that what’s defined as an agriculture job might very well mean agricultural servicing jobs in the cities.

Yes, the overall job numbers are fantastic. But they are certainly better in the cities than in the country.

Letters to the Editor

Why change tradition? Concerns remain The Editor: For over 50 years the garbage collection in Estevan has been back alley pickup and street pickup for areas with no back alley.

When Estevan Sanitation did the garbage collection there were never any issues. When Regens Disposal was given the contract, garbage collection became an issue. Since Regens got the contract they have done nothing but complain. Regens wants front yard because their trucks are too big for the back alleys. Regens cannot

give the City of Estevan proper garbage collection.

Regens thinks that they can determine how garbage should be done for the City of Estevan and they will tell the mayor and councillors how it will be done.

Our mayor and councillors have become spineless, allowing Regens to break the tradition of back alley pickup. I do not want front yard garbage pickup. I have a back alley and that is where my garbage should be collected from. Stop forcing me to have garbage collected in the front yard. With the constant talk

of beautification, what is beautiful about a garbage can in my front yard? What a contradiction.

The City is now accepting new tenders for garbage collection. Before you decide to have garbage collection done in the front yards, you better hold a vote. That is like reducing the speed limits in the residential areas.

How can you break an over 50-year tradition without a vote? I do not feel the City should renew the contract with Regens.

Regens trucks are too big for the back alleys.

If you agree with me that you do not want front yard garbage collection when you have a back alley for that purpose, let the mayor and councillors know that you agree with keeping garbage collection as it always has been.

Also, express your thoughts on whether or not the City should renew the contract with Regens. We need a business like Estevan Sanitation with smaller trucks to do the garbage collection properly.

Zella Reed, Estevan

Setting the record straight The Editor: In recent letters to the editor of the Estevan Mercury, the integrity of Marge Young, co-chair of the Time to Twin Highway Committee, has been called into question. After reading the letter from Doreen Eagles, MLA for Estevan, in the March 20, 2013, edition and the letter from Gerald Fichtemann in the April 10, 2013, edition of the Estevan Mercury, we feel compelled to respond, without prejudice, to clarify the facts as we know them.

The facts are, that in a casual conversation with the MLA from Estevan at a public Estevan business, during regular business hours, in the fall of 2012, the MLA was asked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;So when will that highway get twinned?â&#x20AC;? She responded directly to us, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not in my lifetime.â&#x20AC;? Later, in a conversation with Marge Young related to the work of the Time to Twin Committee, we shared the comment made directly to us by the MLA. Given the public context in which the comment was made, we took it to be a public comment.

Assumptions that Marge Young engaged in â&#x20AC;&#x153;gossipâ&#x20AC;? are demeaning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and

incorrect.

It is our understanding that in a phone call from the Estevan MLA to Marge Young, our names were provided as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;former residents of Estevanâ&#x20AC;? referred to in the news article entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time to Twin group contemplates futureâ&#x20AC;? published in the Estevan Mercury on March 13, 2013. We would have been happy to affirm the context and content of the conversation and the time and place it occurred, had we been contacted.

We understand that the workload of all MLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is heavy, and often exhausting, as they strive to meet the needs of their constituents. We appreciate that it is not humanly possible for them to remember the details of all their conversations.

We make no assumption that the MLA from Estevan is not committed to lobbying at the provincial level for the twinning of these highways; rather, we interpret the comment as a reflection of reality.

When we left Estevan in the late eighties, the need for a bypass around the city was very much on the agenda.

Twenty-five years later, it

Roche Percee â&#x2021; A6 There might actually be some good answers as to why the land swap was given the cold shoulder and the dikes havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been rebuilt. But without an answer from their government, the residents of Roche Percee are left to think the worst. And judging by many of the long faces at the April 3 meeting, they are left feeling abandoned and forgotten by their government.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time these people get an answer.

still has not been built.

One of the fundamental principles of a democracy is that ordinary citizens are able to actively engage in the democratic process and to advocate for their communities. History has repeatedly shown that it is through the dedication and commitment of ordinary people, working for the betterment of their communities, that positive change occurs over time.

We have known Marge Young for over 30 years.

From our perspective, she is an honest and caring person who is committed to her community. As an ordinary citizen, she works tirelessly

on initiatives to benefit others and community, fuelled by her passion, not looking for accolades.

At a time when Canadians increasingly lament the apathy and lack of engagement of citizens in our democracy, we should applaud the efforts of Marge Young and the group of volunteer citizens on the Time to Twin Committee â&#x20AC;&#x201D;regardless of the outcome with respect to the twinning of the highway.

It takes courage, long hours and hard work to strive for community improvement.

over Bill 85

The Editor: I am writing regarding my concerns about Bill 85.

Most of the people I have spoken with have not even heard of it even though it will affect every worker in the labour force - unionized or not - and their families. Why are so many people learning about this bill from resources other than the politicians that are so anxious to pass it?

This new bill will allow the employer to pressure workers to work longer hours and do away with 40-hourwork weeks without receiving overtime. This includes workers aged 14 and up. Workers may no longer enjoy two consecutive days off that include Saturday and/or Sunday. Even breaks are to be left to the discretion of the employer. Most families already have both parents working to get by and look forward to evenings and weekends to be with their families. How will this bill affect the family unit? Less time with family, more child care issues, latch key children as well as Christians will be unable to attend church on Sundays to practise their faith. I could go on and on about the family but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end there.

As a registered psychiatric nurse (RPN) in a rural centre, I am often considered the nurse in charge. As a â&#x20AC;&#x153;supervisorâ&#x20AC;? (which is not clearly defined) I may be fined for the errors of others in areas I have no knowledge of - as long as I am seen as supervising them (ie housekeeping, kitchen, maintenance). As a supervisor in a unionized workplace, I would have to become part of a separate bargaining unit within my union. In SUN there are various types of supervisory positions. This will have huge financial implications as the health regions will have to negotiate contracts with each individual bargaining unit.

Many nurses are able to retire and have said they will do so if Bill 85 comes to pass in its current form. This will negate all the hard work and results obtained to recruit and retain RNs/RPNs/RN(NP)s to improve the nursing shortage. The legislature wants to pass this bill by the end of the spring session, which is on May 16, 2013. This is too soon to reflect the needs of those affected by these changes.

For the sake of your family and friends, I beg of you to get more information and speak out to slow down and amend Bill 85. I encourage you to learn more about these changes; I found a lot of useful public information at fairwork.ca.

A Day At The Beach Visual proof that the water level at Boundary Dam is going down to accommodate potential flooding conditions later this spring was provided by area resident Brenda Wakely who submitted this photo of children playing in the area that usually anchors buoys that used to mark a swimming area. She noted that the area she stood in to the take the photo would usually be under six or more feet of water.

Rafferty marina area could be busy again this summer A small but dedicated group of anglers and boaters gathered at the Elks Lodge last Thursday evening to discuss plans for the reopening of the Rafferty Marina boat launch this spring.

They talked about the complications they’ll face regarding the late spring and the lowering and then expected increase in the water level in the Rafferty reservoir, said spokesman Barry Dies.

He said the marina committee decided to start with the resetting of the aluminum dock and then set up the wooden dock when weather and water levels stabilize.

“We’ll also do the washroom cleanup, pick up garbage and all that stuff,” said Dies, who added that the marina committee has again signed a oneyear leasing arrangement with the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency for

operation of the marina.

“We’re still trying to arrange for a longer lease, but for now that’s all we can get, which means we must submit an audited financial statement to them every year,” Dies said.

“The community has been good in terms of financial support, work-inkind and donations of materials. We’ve had cement loaders, backhoes out there without charge from companies who see the value in keeping the boat launch area clean and working,” he added. “Without that, we couldn’t do it. Because of that, we’ll still be able to hold the line on expenses the past couple of years, and we’ll still be able to rebuild the 48-foot dock and get the 48-foot aluminum dock out there. I was out there the other day. The wooden dock is still buried under snow,” he said with a smile.

There is also a half-

ton truck still partially submerged near the dock area thanks to a misguided winter ice-fishing expedition that went wrong when the fisher drove the vehicle over an active underground spring, which meant the ice wasn’t thick enough to hold the weight.

“It’s about a quartermile out from the dock, but not too far from the shoreline. There’s also an ice shack left over. Looks like a fire took it and it was just abandoned. So we’d like to have those items cleared up and cleaned up before the season begins,” Dies said, noting that there isn’t much the marina committee can do about those two projects other than to remind those responsible to take ownership of the leftovers.

“They both can become hazards and environmental concerns,” he said.

The marina group has conducted discussions

with the RM of Estevan regarding potential cabin development in and around the marina area, but no advancements have been made on that topic. He said the focus was more on floods and recovery these past two years.

“The only area we can address right now is the marina itself, that fenced in lot we have, the docks, parking lot, washrooms, grass cutting, picnic tables and so on,” Dies added.

Security cameras that were installed about a year ago have helped keep the number of vandalism incidents down and they have also recorded a larger volume of traffic than what was expected by the marina group ... people in vehicles visiting the site, not only to go fishing or boating but to also just spend some time near the water’s edge.

“Our main goal this year will be to maintain,

use it well and keep cleaning it up. We’ve talked about installing a collection box out there for an honour payment seeing as how Boundary Dam is now part of Woodlawn Regional Park and requires a fee payment there. We can’t do that because we don’t have 24-hour security, but an honour payment, well, we talked about it. We’ve had some people make free-will donations every spring. I know one guy from North Dakota who uses it during the summer and he’s given us $50 to $70 every year just as a donation. So it’s all welcomed.”

There has also been talk about building a fish filleting shack, but for the same reason they can’t provide security 24 hours a day, they also can’t supply cleanup and disposal every day and as Dies pointed out quite succinctly ... “you can’t leave fish en-

trails sitting around for long. It gets bad pretty quick.”

The fishing at Rafferty the past season was good to excellent, he said and should still be good this year with plenty of walleye in the lake.

During the course of the meeting, Nathan Wahl was elected chairman of the Rafferty Marina Inc. committee.

“Our only message to marina users this year is to please respect the site. Take your garbage home with you because we haven’t been able to keep a regular garbage can/disposal system intact there due to vandals. But as I said, vandalism incidents are down, our electrical panel is secure. What we worry about now are flood conditions cropping up again, but if that doesn’t happen, it could be a good year on the Rafferty water,” he said in conclusion.

United Way taking applications for Day of Caring 13043DS00

The United Way of Estevan executive and volunteer members have set the stage and the date for the sixth annual Day of Caring in the Energy City.

Lori Buchanan, executive director for the local UW, said this year’s event will be held June 5 and the committee is ready to gather information regarding those individuals and groups that could do with a little help on this particular day.

They are also looking for a strong group of volunteers to help them get the work done and for sponsors to assist them in helping others in the city.

“So please consider projects you may need some assistance in completing, but just can’t get done by yourself,” said Buchanan, referring to those who might be eligible for a visit from a team of Day of Caring United Way workers.

It’s a great way to be involved and visible in the community, adding something to the city.

“We are asking companies to send at least one person to represent them or an organization. The day is broken up into three shifts, one from 9 a.m. to noon, the other from 1 to 4 p.m. and another all day shift right from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.” she said.

The effort might include doing some yard work, painting, cleaning up a certain area of the city, visiting some seniors and generally lending a hand where often none are available.

“It’s an opportunity for us to come together as a community and make a difference, lend a little help and interact with others,” Buchanan added.

“It’s about more than hammers, paint, brushes and rakes. It’s about building relationships and building our community,” she said.

Those who feel they could do with a little help from the Day of Caring team are invited to contact Buchanan at 306-634-7375 or e-mail at executivedirector@unitedwayestevan.com Applications will then be sent out and are to be returned no later than May 22.

Unless otherwise stipulated, materials needed to complete projects must be supplied by the person or agency benefiting from the work.

The Day of Caring is just one of several ongoing programs that the United Way is supporting outside of their usual financial support to 17 member agencies. The United Way Estevan also supports the Hillcrest School Breakfast Club both financially and through volunteer support as well as the ECS Challenge Day.

Prop Busters looking forward to new facility

The Sun City Prop Busters radio control flying and remote control club displayed a number of their planes, helicopters and rockets over the weekend at the Estevan Shoppers Mall.

The wait for spring and the warm temperatures that follow has been an excruciating one for many here in the Estevan area.

But you could forgive the members of the Sun City Prop Busters if they are a little antsier than most.

The local radio control flying and remote control club spent much of 2011 and 2012 working on their new facility east of Estevan and members are looking forward to enjoying the spoils of their labour.

President Al Dougherty and other club members were at the Estevan Shoppers Mall over the weekend displaying their

planes, rockets and helicopters in hopes of attracting new members.

Daugherty said there is still more work to be done, but the new airstrip should be ready before long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are coming to a stage where we are flying into it now and there is more to be done to get it where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be flyable,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We first tested it out this fall and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very flat which is perfect.â&#x20AC;?

Daugherty said membership in the Prop Busters is solid but could be better. He added that radio control flying is an excellent hobby for the entire family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sky is the limit,

you can do anything you want. Electric and gas powered (planes), rockets â&#x20AC;Ś you name it. We are primarily flying models but we welcome one and all to come out and see what we do.â&#x20AC;?

The new facility is located on the road to the Shand Power Station. To get there, people must turn left onto the approach road just before the railway tracks.

Daugherty said he would like to thank their sponsors for helping make the new strip a reality.

Anyone seeking more information on the club can check their website at www.suncitypropbusters. com

Victims of crime getting more attention to help cope There is increasing evidence that those who suffer from a variety of crimes are now receiving additional attention to help them cope with the aftermath of these incidents.

STOPS to Violence, along with the Provincial Association of Transition Houses (PATHS) and the Saskatchewan Association of Sexual Assault Services (SASAS) is working on a public education project for National Victims of Crime Awareness Week that runs from April 21 to 27.

The project is targeted to increase the awareness about services, supports and

resources that are available for victims of crime and violence.

The Victim Services chapter in each community, including Estevan, assists victims in overcoming abusive and assault situations, along with providing some advocacy and support in times of need.

Tracy Knutson, provincial co-ordinator for STOPS to Violence, said that crime and violence does affect everyone in one form or another, so the fact that there is direct help out there for victims needed to be communicated to all citizens within the community.

AgriStability deadline draws near Hunters, anglers invited to Saturday informational meeting An informational meeting regarding the online automated hunting, trapping and angling licence application and issuance procedures will be held at the Estevan Public Library on Saturday, April 21 starting at 2 p.m.

A representative from the Environment Ministry will be in attendance with a presentation to local anglers, hunters and trappers

who are seeking further information regarding the new system of applying for licences and gaining access to the HAL (hunting, angling licence) system.

Garry Leslie, a member of the Estevan Wildlife Federation, will be in attendance to answer queries regarding local concerns.

“Sportsmen and wom-

en will be able to purchase their 2013-14 angling licence at the seminar as well as acquire their HAL identification number,” said Leslie.

Those who wish to get their new numbers and licences are asked to come with at least two pieces of identification if they want to have their personal HAL identification number established.

The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation is reminding producers Dec. 31 is the final deadline to submit their 2011 AgriStability forms and pay their 2012 program fees.

Program fees need to be paid by the end of the year to ensure participation in the 2012 AgriStability Program. Participants can check their program fee by reviewing their Enrolment/ Fee Notice.

All forms for the 2011 program year need to be submitted by Dec. 31. This ensures participants can

access AgriStability benefits. The initial deadline to submit program forms was September 30. A penalty of $500 per month will be deducted from any benefit received from applications submitted after the Sept. 30 deadline. However, if no benefit is calculated there will be no penalty applied.

New for this year, individual participants are to submit their supplemental information (inventories, payables, receivables, deferrals and purchased inputs) directly to SCIC. In the past, individual participants first

had to submit this information to the Canada Revenue Agency. Corporations and co-operatives should also continue to submit their forms directly to SCIC. Also new in 2012, AgConnect, SCIC’s online service for AgriStability, enables participants to submit program forms electronically. Participants can also view their program fees and other information on AgConnect. If anyone has not activated their AgConnect account they aere asked to contact the AgriStability Call Centre.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an affordable insurance plan with comprehensive benefits that cover rapidly rising health care and disability claims.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ron Areshenkoff of Spectra Financial

A13

C of C insurance features highlighted Members of the Estevan Chamber of Commerce received information and an update on their unique employee insurance program last Wednesday afternoon during their regular monthly luncheon session at Allieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dining.

Ron Areshenkoff of Spectra Financial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Manulife Securities was the guest presenter at the meeting, focusing on the flexibility that the plan provides for small businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not our plan, we just administer it for the chamber,â&#x20AC;?

Areshenkoff said at the outset.

The insurance scheme began 20 years ago at the national level and from the outset it focused on small businesses, especially those with 10 or fewer employees. Because it is a fully pooled plan, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the costs donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come back to haunt you,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the largest plan of its kind in Canada and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a notfor-profit plan under the Chamber Insurance Corporation of

Canada. We administer it for free,â&#x20AC;? he added.

So far the plan has attracted 29,000 small companies across Canada, including 125 in Estevan. Over 1,000 Chambers of Commerce subscribe to the services that are administered nationally by the Johnston Group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an affordable insurance plan with comprehensive benefits that cover rapidly rising health care and disability claims. Twenty years ago a lot of companies didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know whether they wanted to be a part of it or not, but when they learned it was capable of having a fully customized program, that it was not an â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;off the shelfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; model, they got interested,â&#x20AC;?

Areshenkoff said.

Keeping innovative has allowed the plan to retain stable premium rates with annual renewal action generally at 4.25 per cent or less with no industry restrictions. On the medical

side, it also offers the best doctors capable at no extra cost.

That means members can receive an expert diagnosis for any condition and the records of the diagnosis go to the best specialist in the field to confirm them and recommend a treatment plan and even provide the treatment and follow-up if required. The plan also includes confidential telephone coaching between specialists.

The plan allows for online administration for individual companies so employees can follow their claim in that manner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a quick turnaround on payments, generally within 48 hours and costs are controlled to reduce or enhance benefits to suit each companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget,â&#x20AC;? he added.

Areshenkoff was accompanied by business partner Reynold Bert and staff members who made themselves available to answer questions following the luncheon and presentation.

New pooled registered pension plan announced The provincial government has introduced legislation to create an important new option to help provincial residents save for retirement.

The Pooled Registered Pension Plans Act will ensure all Saskatchewan

workers are eligible to enrol in low-cost, taxassisted pension plans, providing an alternative for those workers who currently do not have access to group pension plans.

Amendments are also being introduced to The

Saskatchewan Pension Plan Act which will permit the trustees of the Saskatchewan Pension Plan (SPP) to apply to be a licensed Pooled Registered Pension Plan (PRPP) provider. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our government is

Sask. had 60 workplace fatalities in 2012 Last year was not a banner year for workplace safety in Saskatchewan.

The Workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Compensation Board of Saskatchewan released its annual report last week and reported that there were 60 fatality claims last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One fatality is one too many; 60 is 60 times too many,â&#x20AC;? said chairman David Eberle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is difficult to talk about our year-end results, when we know that sixty families, 60 workplaces and communities grieved a loss last year. What each one of us should be talking about is what we can do to make certain this never happens again.â&#x20AC;?

The cause of death

varied among the fatalities, but each of the WCBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ten industry classes experienced at least one workplace death in 2012. CEO Peter Federko says this shows that every sector has the potential for high risk and hazard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can make every workplace safe. We can prevent these tragedies by making safety and prevention part of the work day in every one of our workplaces.â&#x20AC;?

In terms of financial results, Federko said that 2012 was a positive year.

The WCB remains fully funded. A rebound in investment market values and growth in premium revenue contributed to a

comprehensive income of $155.8 million, compared to a loss in 2011 of $7 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The year over year change is because comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on investments held by the WCB. This means that year end results are subject to the volatility of the markets,â&#x20AC;? Federko said.

Operational results include a modest decline in compensation claim costs because of fewer time loss claims than in 2011, and the 10th consecutive drop in the provincial workplace injury rate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had great success overall in bringing our injury rate down,â&#x20AC;?

pleased to provide Saskatchewan residents with additional opportunities to save for retirement,â&#x20AC;? Justice Minister and Attorney General Gordon Wyant said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These legislative changes will provide new and affordable pension options to employees of participating employers and the self-employed.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;As our province grows, it is important that our government looks for ways to help improve the quality of life for Saskatchewan people,â&#x20AC;? Finance Minister Ken Krawetz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In some instances the generators of job growth - entrepreneurs, small businesses and selfemployed people - struggle to provide a registered workplace pension plan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;PRPPs offer people an important option - a simple, defined contribution plan that keeps costs and fees down for employers, particularly small businesses. We think this is a great way to help Saskatchewan people save for their retirement.â&#x20AC;?

sponsored pension plans or other retirement savings arrangements,â&#x20AC;? Calibaba said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These changes help us provide even more choice in offering ways Saskatchewan workers can save for their retirement.â&#x20AC;?

Under the legislation proposed by the government of Saskatchewan, an employerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enrolment in these plans is optional.

If an employer chooses to offer a PRPP to its workers, the employees will be automatically enrolled but will also have the ability to opt out.

Employers will not be obligated to make matching contributions and workers whose employers do not set up a PRPP, as well as self-employed individuals, will be able to deal directly with a PRPP administrator to open an account, similar to opening an RRSP. The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan will be responsible for overseeing the PRPP legislation and will develop further regulations that are required before this legislation is proclaimed.

mentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislation passed in December 2012, as part of a national effort to make low-cost, well-regulated pension plans available to millions of Canadians who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have access to occupational pension plans.

The governments of British Columbia and Quebec have introduced similar legislation.

PRPP providers will administer these new plans, reducing the administrative burden on employers. In addition, employer contributions to PRPPs will not be considered salaried compensation and will have certain payroll advantages over alternative models like group Registered Retirement Savings Plans.

Saskatchewan Pension Plan board of trustees chair Tim Calibaba welcomed the introduction of legislation and the amendments which will permit the trustees of the SPP to apply to be a PRPP provider. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Saskatchewan Pension Plan was created in 1986 to provide a unique way to save for retirement for people with little or no access to employer-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;While land sale activity has been comparatively quiet over the past year if you consider the alltime record set back in 2008, it is to be expected as industry concentrates on drilling the huge inventory of land that has been acquired.â&#x20AC;?

Crown land sale nets $7.7 million It was another modest result, but still healthy enough to warrant additional attention.

The April 10 sale of petroleum and natural gas rights realized $7.7 million in revenue for the province, bringing the yearly total to date to $19.6 million.

The southeast sector once again led the pack in terms of interest and cash with $5 million in land sales followed by the Lloydminster area with $1.1 million and the southwest area at just under $1 million. The Kindersley-Kerrobert area realized just over $623,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Industry continues to pay a premium for the lands it acquires, with this sale averageing more than $900 per hectare,â&#x20AC;? said Tim McMillan, the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy and resources minister. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While land sale activity has been comparatively quiet over the past year if you consider the all-time record set back in 2008, it is to be expected as industry concentrates on drilling the huge inventory of land that

has been acquired,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a significant number of leases up for renewal in the next few years and we expect that much of that land will revert back to the Crown and as a result, there could be increased land sale revenue.â&#x20AC;?

The highest price paid for a single parcel was $3.1 million handed over by Federated Co-operatives Ltd. when they acquired 807 hectares for an exploration licence near Corning.

The highest price on a per-hectare basis was $25,525 paid by Scott Land & Lease Ltd. when they paid $826,252 for 32 hectares in a parcel west of Shaunavon.

In the last sale held in February, the total came in at just over $11.9 million averaging $448.83 per hectare.

This time around with fewer parcels on the block, the average price per hectare was a very healthy $922.

There were just two exploratory licences up for grabs and just one was sold for $3.136 million while 65

of the 105 leases for sale were sold for $4.566 million.

The one exploratory licence that was sold was in the southeast sector. Fifteen of the 24 leases up for sale in the Estevan-Weyburn area were sold.

The highest dollar per hectare in this area came from MinRich Energy Ltd. which paid over $4,462 per hectare for a 16.19 hectare parcels located with the Ingoldsby Frobisher-Alida Beds Pool, 13 kilometres north of Carievale.

Gas prone areas of the province attracted bids of just $34,403 for just over 259 hectares, or an average of $132.79 per hectare as the natural gas drilling programs in Saskatchewan continue to languish due mainly to depressed prices and lowered market expectations.

Parcels offering deeper rights only brought in $1.716 million or 22.28 per cent of the total sale with an average price of $591.81 per hectare.

The next sale will be held June 3.

SaskPower enjoys strong results in 2012 The provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued growth is translating into some positive results for SaskPower.

It was announced last week that SaskPowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue in 2012 increased $25 million due to record demand from customers.

The company made the announcement as it tabled its 2012 annual report in the Saskatchewan legislative assembly today. According to a government press release, SaskPower reported an income of $147 million in 2012 on $1.8 billion in revenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;SaskPower is undergoing a period of record renewal and investment as the company supports our provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s continued economic strength,â&#x20AC;? Minister responsible for SaskPower Bill Boyd said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This work has an impact on SaskPowerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall income but is necessary to ensure the electrical grid is stable and reliable for the next several decades.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;SaskPower set a record in terms of new service connects and electricity supplied to customers in 2012,â&#x20AC;?

SaskPower president and CEO Robert Watson said, referring to the 22,129 gigawatt (GW) hours supplied in 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect those numbers to continue to grow in the next several years, making it even more important that SaskPower renews and rebuilds our system for the future.â&#x20AC;?

The corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expenses went up as a result of unprecedented infrastructure investments, but other factors like summer storms, ongoing maintenance and power station overhaul work contributed to the increased expenses.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The severe summer storms in June 2012 were challenging for employees and for the province; however, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m extremely proud of the work that employees performed during the storms under very difficult conditions,â&#x20AC;?

Cyrenne gets new perspective on China during trip From Estevan to Beijing and back.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Michel Cyrenne and his wife Sasha did from March 27 to April 6 as part of an organized trek for Chamber of Commerce administration officials.

Cyrenne, community development manager of the Estevan Chamber of Commerce, said the two groups of travellers focused on tourism opportunities during the trip, spending three days in Beijing, a couple of days in Suzhou and another day in Hangzou before moving over to Shanghai. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We toured several historical sites in and around Beijing including the Great Wall. The trip had several educational components to it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It changed my perception of China to some degree, raised awareness of where they are and where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading. It was a good cultural exchange.â&#x20AC;?

Cyrenne said he needed to make it clear that the trip wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about business exchanges, recruitment or anything of that nature, but rather a trip to learn more about China and its tourism industry and people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On the business side, we had just one meeting with the CEO of the Beijing

Chamber of Commerce who filled us in on where their city was headed on a business and tourism level. But we were on a tourism visa, not a business visa this time.â&#x20AC;?

Experimenting with a whole new world of Asian food was interesting and Cyrenne said they even paid a visit to the restaurant where Peking duck was first put on the menu. It was fabulous, he said, as was the one home-cooked meal they encountered on a visit to a local home.

The Canadian delegations consisted of 22 C of C administrators from British Columbia and Alberta and a second group of 10, which included the Cyrennes, the only Saskatchewan representatives, plus those from other regions of Canada.

While visiting with the Beijing Chamber CEO, Cyrenne said he was able to â&#x20AC;&#x153;provide him with a brief pitch about the carbon capture clean coal project that is underway around here. He was interested in that, for sure.â&#x20AC;?

Cyrenne said the most valuable part of the trip was the educational aspect of it, getting a bit of a grasp of how business, tourism and daily life unfolds in one of the busiest and fastest growing parts of the world.

Oilpatch thefts on the rise A recent rash of oilfield thefts in Saskatchewan has prompted some advice from a provincial security company.

Via a press release, SecurTek reminded owners of oilfield facilities and equipment in Western Canada to protect their assets, following recent media reports of thefts in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

With spring melt well underway, access to remote sites will become easier for criminals looking for opportunities. While the vast majority of thefts on the oilpatch are believed to remain unreported, their consequences are far from negligible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thieves steal not only tools and machinery parts containing copper, they also endanger their own lives and those of employees at the facilities they target when they steal live copper wire,â&#x20AC;? said SecurTek spokesperson Claude-Jean Harel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Copper wire can fetch $2 to $3 a pound with recyclers. If you consider that an average transformer can contain 50 pounds of copper and that anything from ground wire to motors and alternators can become targets, the risks are real.â&#x20AC;?

If total damages caused by theft to the Canadian energy sector are difficult to assess, in the United States copper theft is believed to cost the American economy $1 billion annually. The Federal Bureau of Investigations blame partly emerging markets for copper in

developing countries for fuelling demand.

One only needs to look only at replacement costs for stolen parts, down time, environmental clean up operations, investigative manpower and insurance premiums to understand the value of oilfield theft prevention.

Recent reports describe a pattern where perpetrators work in some organized fashion, suggesting they will likely not be deterred by padlocks and chained gates. When assessing their installationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vulnerability, facility owners might consider security monitoring solutions that are sure to challenge criminals, and even bring their activities to a stop.

Facilities with access to power might consider installing access control systems with programmable access cards and voice or video identification. The latest generation of video monitoring systems can automatically detect unauthorized human activity, and send a 10-second video clip to a facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, allowing monitoring station attendants to immediately dispatch police authorities upon video verification.

The good news is that security monitoring technology has kept up with thievesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appetite for off-the-beaten path targets. The odds are oilpatch operations that do their homework on protection will soon have one less thing to worry about, and everyone - even thieves - will be safer in the end.

Fundraising continues for Choose Life Ministry With a new office and fundraisers upcoming, the Choose Life Ministry continues moving toward its goal of building a home for women.

The ministry, founded

by Shelley Boyes, will be a place for young women who are looking to exit a difficult time in their lives.

When construction of the house is complete and operations are a go, the shelter will be home to women trying to get out of lives with negative influences, whether they are depressed or seeking a way out of addiction.

Between 30 and 40 acres of land were donated to the organization last year, and fundraising continues so they can move to the construction phase in the future, though there is no timeline to open the house, which is expected to be able to shelter about 20 women at a time. Boyes thought they would be fundraising for a couple of years before beginning construction on the building.

The Choose Life Ministry will provide residence and programming for up to six months for women who wish to stay there.

“We do have plans in

the works for a building,” said Boyes. “We’ve been moving forward in the administration areas and programming areas as well.”

One way they have been able to do that is by marking some territory in the southeast. At the beginning of March, Boyes opened an office for the organization. Located at 718 Railway Ave. in Carnduff, it will give Choose Life a physical presence in the region. The office will be open in the afternoons from Monday to Thursday.

“We’re hoping that we will be starting a weekly program for some young women. It would just be a drop-in program. We’d like to get started with the programs as quickly as we can, and that’s one way to do that,” said Boyes, who added that anybody wishing for more information may contact her at the office.

“That’s where a lot of the administration is done at this point, but we will be working through a weekly study where we talk about various things that might impact some young women who have these issues. If they want to do more individualized follow up then they could do that.”

Shelley Boyes The issues the ministry addresses with young women are addictions problems, depression, eating disorders and unplanned pregnancies among others. They are

training volunteers for shifts at the office, but usually Boyes can found there.

The non-profit organization is inspired by a similar one Boyes is familiar

with that has chapters across the United States. She said those branches have a success rate of 90 per cent, as women who come out of the homes become productive members of society.

Their upcoming fundraiser is a family fun day April 20 at the Church of God. “It was inspired by the thought that we might be able to get a Saskatchewan Roughrider here, and it kind of grew around that,” said Boyes.

It’s Weston Dressler who will be making an appearance. Boyes’ husband works with Dressler’s brother, who told them they should approach the Rider slotback.

“He offered Weston.

He said, ‘I bet my brother would come and speak at something,’ so then we contacted the Rider organization,” noted Boyes.

She called it a “familyfriendly day,” complete with carnival games and activities, as well some other things for the adults.

The event will feature Chinese auction items as well as the meet and greet with Dressler and an opportunity to have a photo taken with him.

13043MK00

Boyes said they keep in close contact with their mailing list to ensure they stay visible.

“We’re planning a spring cleanup at the property once we can access it.

It’s a rural setting,” said Boyes, noting the property is in the southeast corner of the province.

The ministry held their first major fundraiser last September with a dinner and gala, and Boyes said they have since connected with several monthly donors.

“We have been searching out some foundations for some funding,” added Boyes.

A new fundraiser they are working on is called Donate a Car. If anyone has a vehicle, including RVs or boats, they just don’t want anymore, Boyes said there is a website, www. donateacar.ca, where you can register, sending someone to come take it off your hands. Proceeds would go to Choose Life.

Boyes said in the summer they will be focusing on getting their banquet ready for the fall, which she is looking forward to following the success of the first gala last year.

Fraud investigation wrapped up, woman slated for court May 6 A 27-year-old woman is scheduled to appear in court on May 6 to answer to a charge of fraud of over $5,000 according to information provided by the Estevan Police Service (EPS) this past week.

The accused, who will not be identified until her court appearance, is alleged to have defrauded a local business of nearly $100,000.

No further information was made available at this point of the investigation.

EPS members said they have now concluded an investigation into an April 6 incident involving two males ages 18 and 16 who are now facing several charges.

The charges include theft of goods valued at under $5,000, mischief with damages under $5,000 and possession of a firearm without a valid licence.

The two subjects, it was reported, attended a house party at a residence on the south side of the city. The homeowners were not there at the time, but a family member was hosting the party.

The two accused damaged the interior of the home and then stole a firearm that was in the house. Some jewelry and other items were also taken.

Through their investigation, police were not only able to determine that the accused were responsible, but they were also successful in recovering the stolen firearm. The jewelry, however, has not been recovered.

The 18-year-old is facing additional charges for breaching conditions of his undertaking related to previous incidents and is facing a total of six new charges

related to the April 6 event.

The 16-year-old youth is facing three charges.

The 18-year-old was scheduled for his first court appearance on April 15 where he was expected to answer to several other outstanding legal issues.

The 16-year-old youth will make his court appearance April 22.

On April 11, EPS members charged a 32-year-old man with impaired driving and driving while his bloodalcohol content was over .08 per cent. He now has a May 6 court date.

On that same evening, police arrested a 22-year-old man for being intoxicated in public and for breaching the peace when police observed him consuming alcohol outside a local lounge.

When police approached the man, he became unco-operative, which

led to his arrest. While he was being lodged in cells, the accused damaged some articles in the cell, which led to him being charged with mischief on top of the charge of consuming alcohol in public and being intoxicated in public.

He was released after regaining sobriety and has a May 6 court date.

When some people were observed consuming alcohol in the parking lot near a local restaurant on April 11, police were called to the scene and two charges were subsequently laid against occupants. The driver had his licence suspended for 24 hours after the roadside breathalyzer test displayed an â&#x20AC;&#x153;alertâ&#x20AC;? signal.

EPS members were called to a local business on the night of April 12 in response to a call regarding a fight involving six people.

Three men were eventually arrested for being intoxicated in public and for fighting.

Police also arrested a 26-year-old man for being in possession of under 30 grams of marijuana.

EPS members then made their way to another local business in response to a report of an intoxicated man smashing a VLT machine. He was arrested, taken into custody, and has a court appearance date set for the near future.

EPS members noted they arrested no fewer than nine people on April 12, all for being intoxicated in public. All nine were released after they gained sobriety.

On the night of April 13, one driver was charged with driving while impaired and another was picked up by police after he was observed acting in a suspicious manner around a local

13043MC00

business. The matter was resolved after police interviewed the subject.

A fight was also broken up by police that same night.

The incident took place at a local business and after police intervention, one man was arrested and lodged in cells for the evening.

Police have also charged a 30-year-old man for several break and enter incidents and for theft of a business fuel card. The arrest was made April 14 and he was held in custody pending his court appearance.

Police then arrested and charged a young man on three counts of theft, one of which involved goods or cash valued at over $5,000 and two others for goods valued at under $5,000.

He was also detained in custody pending his court appearance.

Saskatchewan Roughriders receivers Geroy Simon, left, and Weston Dressler had fun with their speaking engagements at the Estevan football fundraising dinner on Saturday at the Days Inn Plaza.

Riders help raise funds for football A sold-out crowd gathered Saturday to hear two star receivers and a second-year head coach speak about their journey to the CFL and the upcoming season, among other topics.

Saskatchewan Roughriders receivers Geroy Simon and Weston Dressler joined head coach Corey Chamblin as the guest speakers at the annual Estevan football fundraising dinner at the Days Inn Plaza.

The event was held by Penta Completions Estevan Minor Football and the ECS Elecsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; high school program.

Although it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear on Monday how much the two organizations raised, the live auction at the dinner made $12,100, while the 50/50 brought in $930.

Among the live auction items were a Simon jersey that sold for $2,800, and a Dressler jersey that went for $4,300.

Simon was the first speaker, and the newly acquired star joked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so used to being booed by you guys.â&#x20AC;?

The CFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time leader in career receiving yards, Simon was acquired from the B.C. Lions in an off-season trade.

Although he called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;business decisionâ&#x20AC;? by the Lions in an interview with The Mercury, Simon said it was also time for him to move on, despite winning two Grey Cups in Vancouver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was at a point where I had done everything I could do.

Football had become monotonous for me in B.C. I wanted a new challenge,â&#x20AC;? he told the audience.

He expanded on that in an interview, noting that he chose to come to Saskatchewan because he felt the Riders had a chance to win. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At first there was a lot of emotion involved and things like that. But once the Lions made it clear they were mak-

ing a business decision, then I had to step back and say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I need to make a business decision for my family and myself.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Once they started talking in that language, I knew that it was all business and I was going to go where I had the best opportunity to take care of my family and play for a team that has an opportunity to win a Grey Cup,â&#x20AC;? he reflected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Saskatchewan is a great organization. They run it the right way. They have great fans, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re loyal and they had a young team that I felt, if I can come in and use my experience, I can help them get over the hump.â&#x20AC;?

Simon, who is from Johnstown, Penn., and played at the University of Maryland, said his attitude held him back before he joined the Lions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about anyone but myself and my stats. But it worked for me. I was Geroyâ&#x20AC;Ś Superman,â&#x20AC;? he laughed.

After refusing to play special teams to get his foot in the door in the NFL, Simon came to Canada and things changed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I stopped caring about those things, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when I started getting somewhere.â&#x20AC;?

Chamblin, who is entering his second season as Ridersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach, was the second speaker at the dinner. He commended the audience for coming out to support local football programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The superstars are all of you in this room who are doing it for minor football,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Looking back at the 2012 season, which ended in a West semi-final loss to the Calgary Stampeders on a last-minute touchdown by Romby Bryant, Chamblin joked that there was an upside to that disappointment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty excited about this year and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have made these changes if we went further â&#x20AC;Ś we

gave them that game last year just so we could get Geroy,â&#x20AC;? he laughed.

Chamblin told The Mercury there are still a couple of areas on the roster that need to be shored up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have to make sure, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tristan Jackson or whoever, we find an electrifying punt returner. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve strengthened a lot of areas of our team, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re strong, I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a contender. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the one area I think we have to make sure, and a little bit of depth at the end spot would be the (other) thing.â&#x20AC;?

Chamblin added that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still learning on the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first year, you try to do a lot of different things and once you get things settled in place and lay a firm foundation, then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to go on to the second stage. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I am now, learning how to lean on the coaches, (ensuring) players and coaches know how I coach and I know how they coach and we know how to work together.â&#x20AC;?

Dressler was the final speaker of the evening. The sixthyear slotback from Bismarck is coming off a career year with 94 catches for 1,206 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2012.

Dressler, who stands 5-foot-7 and weighs 179 pounds, said he had to overcome his size to make it to the pro level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every step of the way, there was someone telling me I was too small to play football.â&#x20AC;?

He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recruited heavily and opted to play at the University of North Dakota. He thought his football career was over after he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t selected in the NFL Draft, but then he discovered he was on the Winnipeg Blue Bombersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; negotiation list. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got out of that somehow,â&#x20AC;? he joked, eventually signing with the Riders in 2008.

Woodlawn aiming for first half of May Although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to gauge at this point with snow still on the ground, the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club is likely looking at an opening date in the first half of May. Woodlawn general manager Brian Dueck said it will be easier next week to forecast a possible opening date. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once the snowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone and we can actually peek under the tarps and see where the greens are at, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be the telltale sign of when we can go out there,â&#x20AC;?

Dueck said.

He added that barring something unforeseen, the new back nine should be opened shortly after the front.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited about it. It seems like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been so long since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve actually been out on the back nine playing golf. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very close to getting out there.â&#x20AC;?

After the floods of 2011 devastated the courseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back nine, the club took the opportunity to embark on a previously planned redesign by original course designer Les Furber. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The community and members and people who get to use the facility are the people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited for.

This is our happy place.

People come down here to spend their social dollars, their extra cash, to get out with the kids and enjoy the game,â&#x20AC;? Dueck said.

Brian Dueck There are concerns about another round of flooding in the southeast this summer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though on a much smaller scale than

those of two years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but Dueck is optimistic that the course wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be affected much, if at all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s start out by say-

ing I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re even close to where we were a couple years ago,â&#x20AC;? he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re comparing apples and oranges, I think. What I will say is itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fresh in everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind.â&#x20AC;?

He said Woodlawn has seen roughly 65-70 per cent of its snow disappear in the last two weeks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What bare ground there is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not showing a lot of water.â&#x20AC;?

Dueck said he was told by the Saskatchewan Water Security Agency last week that â&#x20AC;&#x153;their forecast at peak runoff is they feel comfortable that Rafferty has enough drained out of it.â&#x20AC;?

The WSA is anticipating flows of 120 m3/s into Boundary Dam, with 50

m3/s being diverted into Rafferty and the other 70 being released into the Souris River, Dueck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The unfortunate thing is the original park on the north side of the river will probably see some flooding at 70. The golf course wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see it at 70. Going by our experience from two years ago, around the 80-85 mark is when it comes over the river. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it gets to what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re predicting, we should be OK, unless thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s absolutely abnormal, stupid amounts of rain. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hoping for the best, but do we have to be aware, for sure,â&#x20AC;? said Dueck, adding that â&#x20AC;&#x153;if we do get a bit of water, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be here very long.â&#x20AC;?

Three locals at novice bodybuilding event Three Estevan residents took part in the Saskatchewan Amateur Bodybuilding Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s novice championship in Moose Jaw on Saturday.

Magdalena Pospiech led the contingent with two first-place finishes.

Pospiech led the pack in the master womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s figure event, being awarded eight points. That tied her with Dani Herman of Regina, but the tie was broken by the head judge in favour of Pospiech.

There were 10 com-

petitors in the event.

Pospiech also scored better than four others in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s figure medium event, scoring fi ve points in a unanimous decision.

Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jodi Baht competed in the same events as Pospiech.

Baht placed third in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s figure medium event, with 15 points.

She was sixth in the master womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s figure event with 31 points.

Conchita Humphreys also competed in two

events.

She was first in the junior womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s category, being the only participant to enter.

Humphreys was also second in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physique event, with 11 points. There were four women in that category.

Meanwhile, the SABBA provincial championships for bodybuilding, fitness, figure, physique and bikini divisions are taking place Saturday at Aden Bowman School in Saskatoon.

There are 10 competitors from the Estevan area registered for provincials: H u m p h r e y s ( w o m e n â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physique open), Alden Hagel (heavyweight), Chalsey Anderson (figure tall), Chris Istace (middleweight), Dana Barlow (light heavyweight), Hailey Pehl (bikini medium), Maureen Gervais (womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physique open), Melissa Schachtel (bikini short), Travis Eckel (menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physique open) and Shanda Tegart (figure short).

Bruins hoping for competitive spring camp The focus will be on the future this weekend for the Estevan Bruins.

The teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual spring camp is taking place at Spectra Place, with roughly 75 players expected to attend.

Team scout and former assistant coach Cole

Zahn said the hope is that with fewer players, the level of competition will be higher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest thing for us is the competitive edge. We want guys who want to come down here for the right reasons. If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dogging it out

there, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be scratched off our list pretty quick,â&#x20AC;? said Zahn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want guys who are willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

As long as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got that heart and determination, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big bonus for us.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a lot of

physical play, guys going out there and banging and crashing and doing what they do best.â&#x20AC;?

While the 1995- and 1996-born players will be trying to prove theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good enough to make the team in the fall, Zahn is also excited about some players at the lower end of the age spectrum. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a couple of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;99s coming in. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve identified those guys as top end â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;99s.â&#x20AC;?

There are also a pair of players coming from Thunder Bay who are expected to impress, he said.

Among the group of players more well-known to the team, all eyes will be on 1995-born Saskatoon goaltender Brett Lewchuk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very highend goaltender. We had him up for a game and he stood out very well for us.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expecting him to come in and have a great camp. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be battling for a spot,â&#x20AC;? said Zahn.

Keegan Allison, a â&#x20AC;&#x2122;95 forward from Saskatoon, is also among the crop of potential rookies next year.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very high-end prospect. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very good forward, a little bit smaller in size, but he plays gritty, skates very well and has a heck of a shot.â&#x20AC;?

Zahn is also looking forward to watching a third Saskatoon product, â&#x20AC;&#x2122;95 forward Chris Thorimbert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He showed a lot of promise throughout the season. I went and saw him a few times. The release he has on his wrist shot is unbelievable. A guy like him is going to come in and turn some heads right away.â&#x20AC;?

Thorimbert was acquired from the Kindersley Klippers at the trade deadline for â&#x20AC;&#x2122;96 forward Cohen Yano, the brother of Austin Yano, who was also dealt to the Klippers earlier in the season.

With the Bruins seeking a new head coach and general manager, Zahn cautioned that players who were on the team this past year need to continue to work hard to retain their spot under a new bench boss.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously with a new coach and general manager coming in, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be wide open for everybody. Just because you were here last year doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be here next year if a younger guy beats you out.â&#x20AC;?

The team conducts 1-on-1 meetings with every player at the end of camp, and Zahn said that aspect of the weekend can be invaluable for the prospects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those 1-on-1s are huge for the kids. It gives them a lot of feedback and lets them know what they need to work on to play junior hockey,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes it a lot easier on the kids to work on the things they need to in the summer.â&#x20AC;?

The camp gets underway Friday with intrasquad games at 5:15 and 6:45 p.m. There are more games on Saturday at 9 a.m., 11:15 a.m., 4 p.m. and 6:15 p.m.

On Sunday, there are games at 9 and 11:15 a.m., along with exit meetings.

Estevan Mercury

Tower Wolves in danger of not fielding team Unless the situation changes quickly, Estevan will not have an entry in the Saskota Baseball League this year.

The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior team, the Tower Wolves, is struggling to find enough players and someone dedicated enough to run the team.

Devin Aspinall had organized things previously, until last season when things got too busy for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were fortunate to have Justin Fieber step up and run things. It was probably our least successful season in a long time, but at least we had a team,â&#x20AC;? said Aspinall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some guys that are willing to help, but everyone is afraid of taking that jump and being on your cellphone all day, making sure guys are going to play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to need someone whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passionate about baseball to come in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to run a baseball team, probably even harder to run a team at the senior level because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with adults who are busy and you gotta keep everyone committed,â&#x20AC;? Aspinall added.

The other issue for the Wolves is players. Aspinall said only four or five are committed to play at the moment.

Some players have moved away, while others are going to school and wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be back until near the end of the season.

With the deadline to commit to the league being May 1, the Wolves have only two weeks to find enough players and someone to run the club.

Estevan Tower Wolves pitcher Devin Aspinall delivers to the plate during a 2012 Saskota Baseball League game. (File Photo) Aspinall said taking a year off will make it harder to re-assemble a squad in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of those things, once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

gone, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to keep it gone.â&#x20AC;?

Anyone interested in playing or managing the team is asked to contact Aspinall at 306-421-1921.

Zone 1 wins Sask First tourney

Zone 1, representing southeast Saskatchewan, emerged victorious at the 2013 Sask First bantam tournament I Regina on the weekend.

The annual showcase event features the top second-year bantams from eight zones across the province. Its timing makes it an especially important scouting event leading up to the Western Hockey League draft, which is taking place on May 2 in Calgary.

The Zone 1 team includes five players who are either from Estevan or played bantam AA hockey here.

Forwards Ty Brown and Colton Winton are Estevan products (Brown played with the Notre Dame bantam AAA Hounds this past season), while Midale forward Kolten Ganson, Carlyle forward Brady Third and

Carlyle defenceman Cale Fleury have all played bantam in Estevan.

Football dinner always a good time Give local football volunteers a lot of credit: they always find quality guests to speak at their fundraisers.

The annual dinner to raise money for minor football and the high school Elecs took place Saturday at the Days Inn Plaza.

Although it’s tough for anyone to top TSN anchor Jay Onrait, who was one of last year’s guests, the three Saskatchewan Roughriders in attendance spoke well, told funny stories, signed autographs, posed for pictures and did anything else asked of them.

Head coach Corey Chamblin and receivers Weston Dressler and Geroy Simon were the guest speakers.

Dressler holds a special place in the hearts of Rider fans, and it’s not often you get to meet one of the greatest receivers in CFL history in Simon.

It was also apparently the first time a Riders head coach has appeared in Estevan in quite some time.

I’m neither a Riders nor a Lions fan, but meeting and interviewing Simon was a thrill, and it’s great that organizers were able to get him.

With Dressler, a popular topic in the question and answer session was how he felt about having Dwight Anderson as a teammate after the infamous eye-poking incident in 2011.

He said the worst part was that he’d undergone laser eye surgery that off-season, and the waiting period for his

Josh Lewis Hear Me Out corneal flap to fully heal hadn’t ended yet.

Fortunately, there was no permanent damage and Dressler would go on to record a career year in 2012.

Although the community has certainly turned out in force to support local football since the 2011 floods, they are not out of the woods yet and funds are still needed, particularly in the restoration of the Woodlawn Park facility, which the teams will return to this year. *** At this point, the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club isn’t expecting to be impacted by flooding this spring, and that’s terrific news for all parties involved after the debacle of 2011.

However, that depends on the pace of the remaining melt, and the amount of rain the area gets over the next

month or two.

Two years ago, the massive blizzard at the end of April and the enormous amount of rain after that were the tipping point. That was what put it over the top and made the situation as bad as it was.

Even if there is flooding, we’re not talking about anywhere near the same kind of situation as we saw in 2011 — as Brian Dueck said, “apples and oranges” — but all the same, let’s hope Woodlawn stays dry this season as they debut their redesigned back nine. *** Congratulations to the local players on the Zone 1 team that won the bantam Sask First tournament on the weekend in Regina.

It’s a very stressful time of year for kids who are eligible for the WHL draft, especially for those who don’t know if they’ll be selected.

It adds that much more pressure to perform at the Sask First tournament, and while only a handful of the players on the roster were from this area, some of them were standouts, according to scouting reports from the tournament.

Contact Josh Lewis at 306-634-2654 or sports@ estevanmercury.ca. Why hasn’t Dave Nonis been fired yet for not getting Luongo or Kiprusoff at the trade deadline?

Reimer is terrible. Note the dripping sarcasm.

Speedway getting close to busy 2013 season It figures to be an action-packed race season at Estevan Motor Speedway with 10 points nights, along with the popular Eve of Destruction and Enduro events both returning at the end of the season.

The race year begins on May 4 with a regular points night. The proceedings will get underway at 3 p.m., so as not to conflict with the Mötley Crüe concert that night at Spectra Place.

“An afternoon race will be a great start to the season, especially if the weather turns cool. Fans will have plenty of time to get their racing fix and their rock fix, all in the same day,” said EMS track promoter Tracy Lewis-Miller.

The slate continues May 17 with an appearance by a northern sport modifieds group, along with a regular points night.

At their June 1 points night, the track is holding a Relay for Life event, as pink and black flags will be sold to be autographed by drivers.

The June 14-15 weekend doubleheader will be jam-packed with action.

The two nights will be highlighted by the Northern Super Truck Racing Series from Winnipeg, and on the second night, the fifth annual McComb Automotive Fast 40, with a prize of $3,000 to the winner,

will run.

All three normal race classes will run both nights.

Another major event will take place June 28 with the first leg of the Can-Am Shootout. This is a two-night event, with the second night taking place at Williston Basin Speedway.

The hobby, stock and mod classes will race both nights and the drivers with the most cumulative points will win cash, with a total purse of $5,000.

The 23rd annual Dakota Classic Modified Tour will swing through town on July 8, as the third stop on the popular mod circuit.

The Speedway will bring in another special event on July 30, with a late model tour performing at the track.

Rider Pride night is scheduled for Aug. 9, with Gainer the Gopher in attendance and giveaways taking place.

The season point winners will be decided on Aug. 23 as Championship Night takes place.

“This is always an exciting evening and you never know how the season will end. There can be major upsets like what happened at the end of last season. It’s very unpredictable until the very last race

is run,” said Lewis-Miller.

Although the type of event has not been determined yet, the third annual Eve

of Destruction will take place on Sept. 13.

The season will wrap up with the annual enduro race on Sept. 22.

Minor ball registration extended Estevan Minor Baseball has extended the deadline to register for all divisions from T-ball to midget.

Players now have until Saturday to sign up for the 2013 season. Anyone who missed city wide registration last month is asked to contact Lindsay Clark at 421-3657.

The bantam division in particular is a few players short and all ball players born in 1998 or 1999 are encouraged to play.

All who register this year will be entered into a draw for a trip for two to Toronto for a Blue Jays game.

Flights, hotels and game tickets will be included. The

draw will be made on June 10 at the Western Major Baseball League game in Estevan between the Weyburn Beavers and Yorkton Cardinals.

Meanwhile, Zone 1 umpire clinics also begin this weekend.

A Level 1 clinic will be held in Estevan on Saturday at Spruce Ridge School.

Another clinic for Levels 2 and 3 will go Saturday and Sunday, also at Spruce Ridge. For more information, contact Bob Burns at 634-5321.

There will be a Level 1 clinic in Carlyle on April 27 at the high school. For more information, contact

NOTICE

Bill Wyatt at 453-6741 or 577-9784.

Clinics in Weyburn will be held that same weekend. The clinic for Levels 2 and 3 will run April 27-28 at the junior high school.

The Level 1 clinic will take place Sunday at the high school. For more information, contact Shawn Fraser at 842-2043.

For plate work, umpires are asked to bring a mask, ball bag, indicator and running shoes. They are asked to register by 8:30 a.m. in order to get started early.

Alternate arrangements can be made for anyone who is unable to attend the clinics.

BBB warns of high Tax tips for Sask. residents pressure tactics The Better Business Bureau of Saskatchewan is warning consumers to beware of high-pressure security alarm salespeople going door-to-door selling alarms and services.

Every year the BBB receives a number of inquiries and complaints from consumers and municipalities who have been contacted regarding the sale of home security alarms and services. This is the time of year that security alarm salespeople will be going door-to-door. The BBB offers the following tips if you are thinking about acquiring a home security alarm system: â&#x20AC;˘ Reputable businesses won't require signatures at the door. Take the time to read the documentation at your leisure.

If the sales pitch has a limited time offer attached to it, ask the salesperson to leave immediately and close your door. â&#x20AC;˘ Obtain competitive quotes from businesses offering similar services. Contact the BBB to check out the business or to obtain a list of businesses offering similar service. â&#x20AC;˘ Ask for references who have had the service in the past, then contact the references and discuss their level of satisfaction with the service. â&#x20AC;˘ Direct sellers going door to door must be licensed under Consumer Protection in Saskatchewan. Ask for a copy of their direct sellers license. Ask for the address of the registered office in Saskatchewan for the business. â&#x20AC;˘ Most urban municipalities require seasonal businesses engaged in door-todoor sales to be licensed in the municipality. Ask for a copy of that municipal business license. â&#x20AC;˘ Contact your home insurer and request a list of reputable service providers in the home security business from them.

Ask your insurer if there is a discount

available on your insurance premiums if you install a monitored home security system. â&#x20AC;˘ Ask the salesperson at your door for all the details including installation costs, monthly monitoring costs, term of the contract, how are contracts renewed, how product failures are handled, how service failures are handled, and what happens if you decide to move. â&#x20AC;˘ If you choose to enter a contract with a door-to-door salesperson or with another service provider, insist on full training during normal business hours, and insist that installation be done between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., or at the very least at your convenience. There is no need to install home security systems in the evening. â&#x20AC;˘ Do not leave your home unattended while the installation is occurring. â&#x20AC;˘ Before you sign any contract, take the time to read the fine print. â&#x20AC;˘ Under the Direct Sellers Act consumers may cancel any contract executed at home, provided such cancellation is provided in writing to the Saskatchewan office of the business within 10 calendar days of its execution.

The Better Business Bureau reminds all consumers and businesses to use caution and carefully review all invoices for products and services before paying. If a consumer or business has any questions regarding these calls, please contact the Better Business Bureau of Saskatchewan.

Information on companies (members and non-members) and educational publications can be accessed by calling the Better Business Bureau of Saskatchewan at (306)352-7601 or by e-mail at info@ bbbsask.com or visit us their website at www.sask.bbb.org.

As they prepare their tax returns, Saskatchewan residents are reminded that a number of provincial tax credits are available to help them keep more of what they earn.

"If you're a recent firsttime homebuyer or postsecondary graduate, or if you have children enrolled in sports programs or cultural or recreational activities, credits are available that could help you keep more money in your pocket," Finance Minister Ken Krawetz said in a recent press release.

"We also have credits to assist Saskatchewan people with lower incomes, as well as employees who are required to purchase tools as a condition of their employment."

Residents are reminded to keep the following provincial credits in mind when filing your taxes: First-Time Homebuyers Tax Credit â&#x20AC;˘ A non-refundable income tax credit of up to $1,100, based on the first $10,000 of an eligible home purchase (a similar federal credit of up to $750 is also available).Graduate Retention Program â&#x20AC;˘ Income tax credits provided over a seven-year

period that refund up to $20,000 of tuition fees paid by eligible post-secondary graduates who live in Saskatchewan and file a Saskatchewan tax return. For more information, visit the Saskatchewan Advanced Education website (http:// www.aeei.gov.sk.ca/grp).

Active Families Benefit â&#x20AC;˘ A refundable income tax credit of up to $150 per child 18 years of age or younger that helps Saskatchewan families with the cost of their children's participation in cultural, recreational and sports activities.

For more information, visit the Saskatchewan Parks, Culture and Sport website (http://www.pcs.gov.sk.ca/ afb). Saskatchewan LowIncome Tax Credit â&#x20AC;˘ A refundable income tax credit paid quarterly to assist lower-income Saskatchewan residents. The credit is paid in conjunction with the federal Goods and Services Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax (GST/HST) Credit. For more information, visit the Canada Revenue Agency website (http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ bnfts/rltd_prgrms/sk-eng. html). Employees' Tool Tax

Credit â&#x20AC;˘ A non-refundable income tax credit that recognizes the costs associated with purchasing, replacing or upgrading eligible tools by qualifying employees as a condition of their employment. The credit consists of a one-time trade entry amount and an annual maintenance amount.

"These credits are part of our government's ongoing commitment to reduce taxes for Saskatchewan families and individuals," Krawetz said. "Going forward, the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth commits our government to cutting taxes even more as financial circumstances permit."

Personal income tax reductions introduced since 2007 have removed an estimated 114,000 Saskatchewan residents from the provincial income tax roll.

In total, these reductions are providing more than $470 million in income tax savings to Saskatchewan people in 2013.

For more information about eligibility or about how to claim any of the credits, visit the Canada Revenue Agency website at www.cra-arc.gc.ca.

â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Gerry Oliver

Artist Gerry Oliver was in Estevan Friday night for the opening of her exhibit A Shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diary. Below is an example of her work.

Exhibit examines highs and lows of farm life The highs and lows that come with raising livestock on the Prairies is the subject of a new exhibit at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum.

The artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reception for A Shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Diary by Manitoba native Gerry Oliver was held Friday at the EAGM. It examines a year in the life of Oliver as she cared for her sheep and the various experiences that go along with that work. Each painting is accompanied by diary entries from Oliver that corresponds to the

particular moment.

Oliver was in attendance at the opening and said she happened upon the idea after she was urged to complete works about something she was familiar and passionate about. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just all of a sudden came together that I could do something about my sheep and that is what I did,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took almost two years from start to finish, and I documented both with a written journal and reference photos through a whole yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

work, with the sheep going from breeding through lambing and sheering and all of the different aspects of raising the sheep. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of that, I was able to pick and choose parts that would show the benchmark moments of a year raising livestock.â&#x20AC;?

Oliver said in choosing what to depict, she looked for moments that would show those particular things that would appeal to a wide audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With raising live-

Also opening on Friday was the exhibit Trade/Survival/Need by Belinda Harrow.

I wanted to show all of those things with this,â&#x20AC;?

Oliver said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to show all of those things with this, and I hope that my passion for my animals shows as well. That is what I hope people see when they look at the images.â&#x20AC;?

Oliver said the reaction to her work has been

positive. She noted the exhibit has been shown in three locations while Estevan was the first place in Saskatchewan to host the exhibit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are seeing what I was hoping they would see with it and they feel what I feel with each of the images and the text that goes with it. People learned a lot about what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to have livestock by reading the diary entries that go with the image,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The words were

Those things were on a daily basis. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all real and I hope that they see it and feel it.â&#x20AC;?

Oliver added that some pieces of the exhibit have been entered into juried art shows and did very well.

Also on display at the gallery is the exhibit Trade/Survival/Need by Belinda Harrow who was unable to be in Estevan Friday due to the weather.

Having some surgery done, my friend planned ahead. She knew she would have to wear a brace, with four steel rods screwed into her skull. She asked me to bring her three T-shirts with slogans on them. Today, when she left the hospital, she was wearing a T-shirt saying, "I'd lose my head if it wasn't 'screwed' on!"

Is it ever going to warm up?

You never said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goodbye.â&#x20AC;?

You were gone before we knew it, And only God knows why.

A million times youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been there for us, And even when we cried, If love alone could have saved you, You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a special place No one can ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you But you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go alone, For part of us went with you, That day God called you home.

- Deeply missed and always rem e m b e re d by yo u r c h i l d re n , grandchildren and their loving families.

If tears could build a stairway, And memories a lane, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d walk right up to Heaven And bring you home again.

- Sadly missed and always remembered, your loving wife Carol.

In Loving Memory of Melvin Veroba July 3, 1955 - April 22, 2009 Four years have passed, we feel the pain Your absence is heartfelt again.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in our hearts, not a day goes by, When your smile, your laughter, brings a tear to the eye.

Our loss bears pain, But the memories dear, For we know that our angel is very near.

We know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see you again some day, We dearly love you more than words can say.

- All our love forever, Val, Jody and Chad, Cory, Colby and Rylee.

Thank You We, Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family, would like to extend our sincere appreciation for the heartfelt kindness expressed during this difficult time. For the flowers, cards, food, phone calls, prayers, visits, kind words, donations and other gifts; we say thank you, it was greatly appreciated and always arrived at just the right moment. Thank you to Dr. Christie and the Unit 3F nurses at the Regina General Hospital for their tremendous care, her dearest friends Kay Hemus, Gloria Bourassa, Dee Armstrong and Kelly Harrison who went above and beyond, Pastor Scott Harrison for his support, Pastor Walter Engel and the Estevan Church of God, family and friends who gave tribute at the service and beautifully captured the wonderful person that she was. Special thanks to Tairyn Thompson who made 200 cupcakes for the luncheon, Grandma would have been so proud! And finally, we once again thank Hall Funeral Services for their genuine care, assistance and professional service.

Mom was a one of a kind lady that taught us so much about life and blessed us beyond measure. We feel privileged to have had one so special in our lives. Her incredible example will remain within us as a legacy and for that we are thankful. Even though she has left us for a while, the faith she demonstrated, her love, strength, tenacity, grace, sense of humour, kindness and compassion will continue on through each one of us until we meet her again. From our hearts - Shirleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Family.

Do you remember?

TEN YEARS AGO: Seven Estevan Safety Patrol members were selected to attend the annual Safety Patrol Jamboree from May 1 to 3 in Regina. Chosen for displaying leadership, enthusiasm, maturity, promptness and dependability, Kayla Stone of Hillcrest, Jacine Styre of Westview, Hailey Baril of Hillside, Leah Clearwater of Pleasantdale, Brenda Tide of St. John's, Jacie Vandermeulen of St. Mary's and Vincent Hurriet of Sacred Heart would be accompanied to the event by chaperone Constable Grant Campbell of the Estevan Police Service.

The players came from far and near for the annual Estevan Bruins' spring camp that was held the weekend of April 11-13 at the Civic Auditorium. Just over 190 hockey players attended the camp which was designed to give the Bruins a look at some of the up and coming talent as well as to find out which players were worthy of receiving an invitation to the fall camp that would be held in September.

Wayne Biette of Estevan was honoured for providing 25 years of volunteer service to the Scouting movement in Saskatchewan. Lt.-Gov. Lynda Haverstock presented Biette with a Certificate of Recognition during a special ceremony held at Government House in Regina. His service included several terms as district commissioner as well as local leader. Biette was still involved with the Boy Scouts as he was serving as leader of an Estevan troop that had 17 members.

The Estevan and District Music Festival came to an end on April 13 with the annual festival highlights and awards program at the Estevan Comprehensive School.

Awards in all five disciplines - band, vocal, speech, piano and strings were handed out while a number of entrants were called upon to perform at the event. Some special awards were also announced during the program, and for the second year in a row, Katie Burham was the winner of the Ed Foley Award of Merit that was given for outstanding performance in multiple disciplines. The award also carried a $500 cash prize with it.

TWENTY YEARS AGO: The new Galloway Health Centre in Oxbow officially opened on April 2. The $3.6-million facility that would provide health services for area residents also had space for visiting health professionals, a multi-purpose room for clinics, health education classes, physiotherapy and other wellness programs.

Although the road was a rocky one and a few twists and turns were taken by members of city council when it

Province working to attract nurses The provincial government has introduced a program to attract more nurses to rural communities.

During remarks to the Nursing Education Program of Saskatchewan (NEPS) Regina graduates, Rural and Remote Health Minister Randy Weekes announced, on behalf of Advanced Education Minister Don Morgan, a new program that will encourage nurses and nurse practitioners to work in rural and remote areas of the province.

Funding from the 2013-14 budget will launch a program to forgive up to $4,000 per year in Saskatchewan Student loans to a maximum of $20,000 over five years for nurses and nurse practitioners who work in under served rural and remote communities with a population of less than 10,000.

"The Government of Saskatchewan is committed to addressing health care needs in smaller communities while at the same time ensuring education is affordable for Saskatchewan students," Morgan said. "This new program will provide an incentive for nurses and nurse practitioners to stay in Saskatchewan and work in our rural communities."

The following nursing professions may be eligible for Saskatchewan student loan forgiveness: â&#x20AC;˘ registered nurse; â&#x20AC;˘ registered psychiatric nurse; â&#x20AC;˘ licensed practical nurse; and â&#x20AC;˘ nurse practitioner.

"Our government is working to ensure that all Saskatchewan residents have timely access to quality health services, regardless of where they live," Weekes said. "This program is one more way to support both the health care providers and patients who live in smaller communities."

To be eligible for Saskatchewan student loan forgiveness, you need to have: â&#x20AC;˘ started your current employment (full-time, parttime or casual) as an eligible nurse or nurse practitioner in a designated rural or remote community on or after April 1, 2012; â&#x20AC;˘ been employed for a full year (12 consecutive months that ended on March 31, 2013 or later) in a designated community; â&#x20AC;˘ provided in-person services for a minimum of 400 hours (or 50 days) in that community; â&#x20AC;˘ a Saskatchewan student loan in repayment and in good standing (payments are up to date); and â&#x20AC;˘ submitted an application form within 90 days of completing your year of service.

Morgan also noted that it is acceptable to work in multiple designated communities in Saskatchewan during the year. applications can now be submitted for the new Saskatchewan student loan Forgiveness for Nurses and Nurse Practitioners Program.

Information on the program is available on the ministry's website at http://www.ae.gov.sk.ca/loan-forgivenessnurses.

came to voting patterns, they set the 1993 municipal budget at their April 12 meeting. After a couple of hours spent doing last-minute chopping and cutting, council finally agreed to a three- mill increase, bringing the municipal rate to 60 mills. With the one mill increase brought down by the public school board, making their total 81 mills, this would result in a total mill rate of 141 for the year. The separate school system had yet to establish its mill rate for 1993, but it was expected to do so by the end of the week.

Gayle Pryznyk announced that she was stepping down as manager of the Estevan Chamber of Commerce effective May 11. Pryznyk said she had accepted a position as a community therapist with the provincial Department of Health following three months of re-entry training at St. Joseph's Hospital in Estevan. Beginning in August, she would be involved in the Estevan and area physiotherapy programs - returning to a professional field where she began her career.

If everything went according to plan, local golfers would be hitting the links by April 16. Spring work at the Woodlawn Golf Course had been going on for the past few weeks, and on April 12, course superintendent Doug Walsh said that if the weather warmed up, temporary greens would be ready for play by the end of the week.

THIRTY YEARS AGO: The Saskatchewan Power Corporation announced April 13 that its Souris Valley Mine would be closing by the end of August after 10 years of operation. The 30 men on the payroll at the mine would continue to have jobs, although for most of them it meant they would have to move to Coronach to continue employment with SPC. Former Estevan implement dealer, farmer, city alderman and MLA, Bob Larter and his wife Phyl, were going to be calling London, England their home for the next three years. Bob had been appointed as agent-general for the province of Saskatchewan in England, and following two days of meetings with representatives of the Department of External Affairs in Ottawa, the Larters would be heading

to London on May 9.

The Local Association of Brownies and Guides held a successful Trefoil tea, bake and craft sale on April 16 at St. John the Baptist Church Auditorium as 225 guests signed the register at the annual event.

Tina Fleck, a student at the Estevan Comprehensive School, was one of 35 recipients in the province of a Thistledown Literary Award. The award was presented each spring to high school students who were chosen by their teachers for having shown outstanding achievement in either literature or creative writing. Students receiving the award were presented with a special cloth-bound poetry book containing the works of Saskatchewan writers.

With the Estevan Bruins hockey club severely in debt, a "Save the Bruins" campaign kicked off this past week with the hope of selling at least 200 shares in the club at a cost of $500 each. Club president Tom More said they needed to raise $100,000 to get "free and clear" of their mounting debt.

Midale community happenings

By Catrina Moldenhauer Midale Correspondent Midale residents lost a dear friend and volunteer on Saturday, March 30 when Ferdinand "Ferdie" Kuhn passed away suddenly in Estevan, Sask. at the age of 79 years. Ferdie leaves behind his wife, Karen of Midale; his daughter, Amanda (Scott) Kienlen of Estevan and grandsons Joshua and Zachary Kienlen. Ferdie's funeral was held on Wednesday, April 3 in Estevan with interment at Westphalia Cemetery in Midale. A lunch was held at the rink. Ferdie had been a Midale resident since 1937 and up until his passing, he was still a very active member of our community.

Former Midale resident, Rhonda Lee Fellner (DeBruyne), late of Weyburn, Sask. passed away March 31 at the age of 33 years. Rhonda is survived by her husband, Cole Fellner, Weyburn; her daughters: Kellie, Tia and Rayne Fellner; her parents, Jim and Beryl DeBruyne, Midale; her father and mother-in-law, Reg and Nila Fellner, Weyburn; grandmother, Margaret Hau-

glum; her sisters: Shelley (Joram) Olweny, Weyburn and their children: (Shelby, Barack); Jamie (Chris) Dewtie, Midale and their daughter, [Dyllan]; her brother-in-law, Chad Fellner, Weyburn and his children: (Willow, Vanessa (Quinton), Skyler], Rodney Fellner, Weyburn; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. A memorial service for Rhonda was held on Friday, April 5 at 11:00 a.m. from Zion Lutheran Church, Weyburn, with Pastor Cicely McDougall officiating.

The Midale and Area's M.O.R.E. 2000 Auction held on Saturday, April 6 was very successful, with over $80,000 raised.

The Harry O' Memorial Arena is now closed for the season as is the curling rink. Roller derby will be utilizing the rink throughout the off-season as they have the past few years.

Look for a few renovations to start at the rink in the near future. The Midale Rec Board has decided to add porches/enclosed entries to both hockey rink doors to keep the spectators warmer in the lobby.

Midale Central School teachers and the SCC held a Math Carnival Night for the students on Thursday, April 11. The carnival was similar to the ones held in the past, with the twist being the students can't purchase tickets - they win their tickets by answering math questions!

Fun was had by kids of all ages who came to play. The hits of the carnival were, of course, the whipped cream pie toss and the fishpond. The whipped cream pie toss required a person to purchase tickets to put their name on and enter to win the chance to throw a pie at their favourite or not so favourite teacher. The fishpond was a big hit, as kids had to use the tickets they won to pay for a prize from the fishpond. The Midale Oilmen's Association donated over 300 prizes for the kids to win.

Everyone went away happy. There were many parents and teachers who donated cakes for a cakewalk as well.

This is always a crowd pleaser!

It is that time of year again. Registration for kindergarten for the 2013-2014 school year will run until April 25, 2013.

Please call TaraLee at the school at 458-2480 to register your child. A screening will be scheduled at a later time.

There will be an elementary school dance on Thursday, April 18 from 7 to 10 p.m. Admission is $4 and the concession will be open.

A reminder to the Midale Travel Club that students and parents who wish participate in the trip to Europe next March will need to register soon. You can register and make your deposit and still opt for full payment in mid-December. To register, go to Explorica.ca and choose register for a tour and use the tour center ID, Morrison-6038.

The Midale Public Library, through a grant from the Community Initiatives Fund, will be offering two free belly-dancing classes. They will be held at the Midale Civic Centre on April 17 and 24 at 7 p.m.

Have a great week Midale and area!

Trinity Tower happenings

By Peggy Bolton Trinity Tower Correspondent On April 5, we had some excitement when a malfunction with an elevator resulted in some smoke in the building. We really appreciated the response from Estevan Fire Rescue Services, Estevan Police Service and the ambulance, all of whom attended to make sure everyone was safe and OK. Thanks all! We know in an emergency we are in great hands due to your dedication.

We extend our deepest sympathy to Paul and Agnes Schindel in the passing of Paul's brother, Oscar.

Condolences also to the family

of Ruby Hutton. Ruby passed away recently in Weyburn.

Welcome visitors on the Easter weekend with Virgil and Ethelda Anderson were grandchildren Shane and Dawn Callaghan from Prince Albert, and Trisha Ottenbreit, Violet and Nathan from Saskatoon.

We wish a very happy birthday to two young women ... Rita Walliser on Apirl 17 and Olive Firth on April 18.

Have a fun day!

Get well wishes to Donna Hanson and Luverne Bod. We hope both of you heal quickly.

This week I would like to introduce you to a lovely couple, Doug and Rose Hood who moved to Trinity Tower in November 2011. They were

both born and raised in Oxbow. Doug is retired from the Wheat Pool where he worked for 37 years.

Doug and Rose have one son and two beautiful granddaughters. They will be celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary this July.

Rose does the convening for lunch when we have entertainment.

She loves playing cards, while Doug enjoys reading and crocheting. They both are always willing to lend a hand where needed.

They said, "Trinity Tower is a great place to live. The people here are very friendly and helpful."

Until next week, God bless and keep smiling.
