Track blamed in derailment CP Rail has issued a statement regarding the cause of the low-speed derailment that occurred in Estevan on May 8.

The derailment saw four oil tanker rail cars slip off the tracks located in the company’s rail yard in the centre of the city, near the Devonian industrial subdivision.

None of the cars ruptured and no contents were spilled.

“Following careful investigation, it’s been deter-

mined the derailment was caused by track subsidence,” said Andy Cummings, spokesman for the CPR. “In an effort to prevent such occurrences from happening in the future, CP’s engineering department has laid out a detailed plan to completely rebuild this section of track.”

Cummings was unable to say when the new track would be put in place or what the costs of the derailment and subsequent replacement tracks, would be.

CP Rail issued a statement regarding the May 8 train derailment in Estevan identifying the tracks as the primary culprit.

Since the incident took place away from the company’s main rail system through the city, no daily rail traffic was affected.

Frustration, eagerness shared in moving Meadows forward

By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca

In recent years, Estevan has been associated with a certain pace of work that outstrips most other cities across the country, but when it comes to the development of The Meadows, a proposed subdivision in the city’s northwest corner,

the project has moved at a snail’s pace.

An original plan was on desks at the City in August 2011, and in the last three years, construction has yet to begin on a single unit, though at complete build out, the subdivision could be home to 529 lowdensity units, 811 medium to high-density units, and

upwards of 2,875 people.

There was no visible progress around the proposed development north of Wellock Road, but during a regular council meeting on Aug. 14 last summer, Estevan city councillors voted unanimously to approve the proposed subdivision, authorizing the City’s signing authorities to enter into

a development and servicing agreement with Essex Developments Ltd. A year later, differences remain between both parties and progress remains at a standstill.

In an interview last week with the Mercury, Graham Cripps, The Meadows’ project manager at → A2 City

Two weeks after Estevan city council failed to reach a majority decision on whether or not to grant the Estevan Daycare Co-operative a tax reallocation, council voted in favour of approving the local nonprofit’s request.

For years, the day care co-op has requested and a received a change in how they are taxed at the municipal level. Operating in a commercial zone, the organization has in the past been taxed at the residential mill rate.

In the last five years, this has saved the day care about $12,646, and this year it will save them $5,721 or about 1.5 per cent of their operating budget.

With one councillor absent from the Aug. 11 council meeting when this matter first came up and motions were voted on, the result was a tie.

At a regular meeting of council on Monday evening, Coun. Greg Hoffort made a motion to grant the request, and he, along with Mayor Roy Ludwig and fellow councillors Trevor Knibbs and Brian Johnson, voted to grant the reduction in tax for the day care.

Councillors Kevin Smith, Lori Carr and Dennis Moore voted against the motion, as the submissions from the City’s administrators recommended.

While council approved the tax reduction for this year, it was made with the intention that the City was giving notice to the day care that it should not expect to receive the same reduction next year.

Providing appropriate notice was of primary concern for the councillors who chose to grant the request this year.

In making his motion Hoffort said, “Due to the fact that in previous years they had received the lower tax rate and would have expected to see the same for this year, I move that we provide them with the residential tax assessment.”

After the matter came up for the first time and council was unable to come to a decision, Ludwig agreed that giving notice is important for the City to do when changes are coming.

“It’s fair to give them notice. Anytime we have consequences as far as increases, we should try to give fair notice whenever we can.”

The recommendation from the City manager and treasurer cautioned council on implementing “one-off” tax policy decisions as they may have a “long-term impact on the taxation structure without proper reviews of those impacts and costs to all ratepayers.”

At the Aug. 11 meeting, Carr noted there is a growing discussion at City Hall about the share of costs users and taxpayers are expected to cover and that the City is raising its rates for services in order to keep up.

“We have a big business to run, and we’re increasing fees to offset some of our expenses,” she noted.

The recommendation noted the City has denied several other tax abatements this year due to its current financial position.

Estevan Mercury

Hundreds gather for the chance to win a car Tensions were high on Aug. 21 as hundreds flocked to the Estevan Curling Club for the end of the Power Dodge/Estevan Mercury Keep Summer Rolling event.

Over 600 people showed up, 300 of them finalists for the grand prize of a 2013 Dodge Dart, plus a number of other prizes provided by local businesses.

“There was an amazing amount of community support from local businesses.

I don’t think you could ask for any better,” said Trevor Knibbs, dealer principal for Power Dodge in Estevan,

who was participating in his third Power Dodge event.

“This one was definitely the biggest one we’ve ever had,” he said.

Children under the age of 16 were met with a big surprise, as they were able to enter for a chance to win one of 15 bicycles donated

by Power Dodge.

Brant Kersey, publisher and general manager of the Mercury, one of the main sponsors of the event, said the anticipation of who would win the vehicle paid off in the end.

“A very deserving per-

“We would love to do this again next year. The

to be “bigger, better, with larger prizes and larger giveaways.”

The winners of the other prizes are as follows: Maxine Hedin - $500 gift certificate from Wood Country; Carl Boettcher Barbecue set from Johnson Plumbing and Heating; Peter Nykiforuk - Mini Lazer 360 degree package from Bell Medical Aesthetics; Chantal Bourassa - $3000 gift certificate from Elite Kitchens and Decor; Melissa Schlosser Living room set from Room

City manager says infrastructure in place for Phase 1 ← A1 Essex Developments, expressed frustration with the lack of progress on The Meadows file over the last three years.

He said there were plans to begin construction this spring, but those plans fell through as the approvals process continued.

“If we could get the approvals out of the City, we would go ahead,” he said. “We’re going through all the hoops that we need to go through and trying to sort out all the issues from a design perspective.”

The design issue that seems to be holding things up is the requirement that the development have its sanitary sewer hooked up to the northwest sewer main that has yet to be completed. The need to hook up to that new sewer is based on the lack of remaining capacity of the system in the northwest

corner of the city.

“In order to relieve certain capacity, we were asked to divert proposed flows in a different direction. That can be done, but the implications of that are that it delays the development,” said Cripps, noting the development is expected to connect to a sanitary sewer running down Sister Roddy Road.

“We’re supposed to connect to that with our Phase 2. Well, you can’t connect Phase 2 until that’s built, and the sanitary sewer on Sister Roddy isn’t built.”

City Manager Amber Smale said that while the sanitary sewer line was required for the Phase 2 of the Meadows, it wasn’t holding up the first phase of the project. “(The northwest sewer main) is a significant sewer line that would service future development in that

area entirely. Essex doesn’t require that main until Phase 2 of their project, so it shouldn’t be a hold up at this point,” said Smale.

In the spring, city council did approve devoting $250,000 to install a temporary sewer line in that area of the city in order to begin development of the 21 Parcel F properties, now known as Royal Heights Phase 3. Smale noted that temporary line is not necessary for development of the Meadows Phase 1.

“The infrastructure that’s already in place will cover Phase 1 of Essex,” noted Smale.

She said the northwest area of the city, which is a significant part of where the city is capable of growing, is at peak capacity, so the northwest sewer main is a future project to ensure development is able to continue in that area.

While some differences still exist between the City and the developer, both are interested in the process meeting a resolution sooner, rather than later.

“We’ve been working very closely with them in the last few months to get their project off the ground. We want to see them proceed and succeed

long process the developer has experienced in Estevan. “It has been what I consider to be, from an engineering point of view, an unnecessarily lengthy process.”

If issues are resolved soon, Cripps said the bestcase scenario would be that Essex could begin moving dirt at the site this fall, with construction to possibly begin in spring 2015.

Fire Rescue, which issued evacuation orders to some nearby businesses in the early stages of the incident to ensure safety. Those orders were lifted a short time after it was confirmed that there had been no leakage and the situation was stabilized so the cars could be unloaded and reset.

In 2004, a number of rail cars jumped the track in another low-speed incident in the central part of the city, that time near Estevan Diversified Services. In that event, some tanker cars carrying ammonia did leak slightly, which led to an evacuation order for nearby businesses and a few residences. Those orders were kept in effect for more than a day while the railway and response teams secured the site and emptied the damaged cars.

Record numbers for Pioneer Fun Day

By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca

Droves of people visited the Souris Valley Theatre Museum during a cool Aug. 23 to take part in the museum’s annual Pioneer Fun Day. “Things are going really well. It’s been our best turnout so far,” said Katrina Howick, director and curator of the museum on Saturday morning.

The event is put on by the museum every year to serve as a “thank you to the community,” explained Howick, adding it gives everyone a chance to enjoy a bit of history one last time before the end of the season.

The museum’s director, who has been involved with the admission-free event for the past four years, said changes to the Pioneer Fun Day were made, something they do every year to keep things fresh.

Alongside the new crafts that attracted the attention of most visiting children, like learning how to make silly putty, a number of costumed interpreters were on site for the first time to share information about specific time periods based on the costume they were wearing.

The popular hayrides made a return this year, and were supposed to coincide with a new petting zoo, but due to the poor weather conditions, had to be cancelled.

“We tried to have a petting zoo, but the weather kind of kerfuffled that on us, which is unfortunate,” said Howick. “The animals can get a little frightened in this kind of weather.”

Luckily however, 90 per cent of the museum’s outdoor activities were able to be moved inside, something Howick said is huge for the event.

A fundraising barbecue was also held at noon for those looking to grab some food while exploring the museum.

Howick thanked everyone working at the Souris Valley Museum for their help and support, including the summer staff, most of whom were participating in their final day at the museum.

A large crowd of people showed up at the Souris Valley Museum on Aug. 23 for the free Pioneer Fun Day. Those in attendance got to participate in hayrides, crafts, and informative presentations from costumed interpreters.

Newcomers participate in golf lessons

By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca

Iron play excellence wasn’t required during an introductory session hosted

by Southeast Newcomer Services (SNS) at the TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club on Aug. 25.

An easygoing, noncompetitive environment was established on Monday evening, which 10 people, most of them new Canadians, some newcomers to Estevan, entered.

“A couple of months ago we had left in our office a sign-up sheet for anyone who was interested in learning golf, and we had a lot of people sign up,” said Sarah Mehler, program manager at SNS a few hours before the golf session began.

“This is kind of our first attempt at getting newcomers involved in a Canadian sport or activity.”

Mehler noted she would like to see this initiative branch out to other approachable sports during

the winter, like curling, and maintain that focus on fun. “ T h a t ’s t h e m a i n emphasis,” said Mehler.

“There is a focus on learning the sport, but at the same time it’s all in good fun. I don’t even know what I’m doing, so I’ll be learning a lot, too,” she laughed.

The program manager at SNS also said that because many of the event’s participants are newcomers, they share that same sense of unfamiliarity. She added a lot of them are registered clients with their office.

“They don’t have to feel vulnerable because we’re all in it together. It would be different if it was a golf tournament with just a few newcomers,” said Mehler.

The newcomers group was led by Woodlawn isassociate golf professional and golf shop manager ,Amanda Minchin, who said the “very informal” event, was an excellent way for newcomers to ease their

“It’s another way of welcoming people and showing them a different avenue of getting involved in our community,” she explained.

As the golf session started, Minchin asked the newcomers whether they had ever played golf before.

The answer was a resounding no, which as a result, led to a very informative putting tutorial led by the associate golf professional.

Zia Abdul, who moved from India to study in Vancouver in 2011, recently moved to Estevan to work at SaskPower. He heard about the Newcomers’ golf

session through word of mouth, and decided to come out and interact with others in his situation.

“I was nervous when I moved to Vancouver, and I became nervous when I moved to Estevan. You always get that feeling when you move somewhere new,” he said, adding he

found comfort in being in one place with others who were new to the area as well.

The opportunity to learn the game of golf was also very appealing to Abdul.

“I’ve never played before, but I’m interested in it,” he said.

City hasn’t forgotten 2012 plebiscite results SPEED LIMITS COULD BE CHANGING AS EARLY AS SPRING 2015 through with the results of the plebiscite, and while the process has been slow, there is movement coming on the traffic changes.

“It was close, but still, majority of our citizens wanted the speeds reduced. Because of budgetary restraints, we have taken a while looking at it because of all of the signage that would have to be implemented and bought,” said Ludwig.

He said the traffic committee is looking into introducing signage in a different way than placing new speed signs on every street in Estevan that will have a new lowered speed. The majority will move to 40km/h, so the plan may be to notify motorists of the 40 km/h speed limit with signs on the boundaries of the city as drivers enter Estevan. On the interior of the city, any stretch of road that isn’t 40 km/h will be posted, including the main arterials that will remain 50 km/h.

“That is still in the traffic committee’s hands but that’s, kind of, the way we might be going,” noted Ludwig. “That’s probably what they’ll come back with.”

He said the “blanket” posting of 40 km/h, with signage identifying any variance in the speed makes more sense than placing speed signs on the majority of street corners.

“It would be simpler and a lot less costly for us.”

Ludwig also affirmed council’s desire for the reduction in speed limits last week.

“It is the right way to go, especially in the residential areas,” he said, adding that there will always be issues with speeders and other traffic violators no matter what speed limit is posted.

The mayor said he sees the implementation of the speed limit changes as a budgetary item, to come up during deliberations for the 2015 City budget. He noted if everything is approved, the signs could be ordered with the intention of putting everything up in the spring.

By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca

It has been nearly two years since the Estevan public was asked what speed limit would be most preferred in residential areas of the city.

The margin was slim, but during the October 2012 municipal election when the plebiscite was put to voters, those favouring the change in speed limit outnumbered those who didn’t by 26, 1,468 to 1,442.

Shortly after that, council passed a motion to honour the majority of votes and move forward with the process of changing the speed limits. The lone member of council to, at the time, vote against the motion was Councillor Dennis Moore, who wasn’t sure the reduction in speed by 10 km/h would garner any results and asked motorists to use common sense when driving in order to help make streets safer.

The issue has since been on the backburner at City Hall, as administrators have sought to get a handle on city finances and no bylaw has been written.

Council expressed some interest in making it a priority again during the Aug. 11 regular council meeting, as Lori Carr requested an update on the speed limit’s status.

Estevan Police Chief Paul Ladouceur noted the matter has been given to the newly reformed Estevan Traffic Committee, which will be reviewing an appropriate plan to implement the new limits, particularly in regards to how signage will be erected.

They expect to present a recommendation to council early this fall.

Mayor Roy Ludwig said following that recommendation, work could begin between public works and the City engineering department to project costs and determine the size of the signage that should be placed on the roadways entering Estevan.

He said the majority of council agreed to follow

Nearly two years after Estevan voters were asked in a plebiscite if they wished to reduce the speed limit on residential streets across the city, there have been no changes. City council has decided to honour the vote in the plebiscite and are now awaiting a recommendation from the Estevan Traffic Committee on how best to implement the changes.

New SE Cornerstone director of education seeks smooth transition ByNorm Park editor@estevanmercury.ca

The newly appointed director of education for the South East Cornerstone Public School Division has no interest in rocking boats or stirring waters. She prefers the calm seas of an easy transition as she becomes more familiarized with the process of assuming overall leadership duties.

Lynn Little said there will be a few expected changes to the division’s supports system, a process that started last school year under then director Marc Casavant.

That system saw the trustees give a green light to the hiring of a deputy director, a job that was then given to Little, just before Casavant announced his departure to accept a leadership role in another school division.

Kelly Hilkewich has now been hired as deputy director. He will report directly to Little. The division will also deploy three superintendents, with Michael Merriman being chosen as the superintendent for the southern area that includes Estevan and other schools to the east of the Energy City.

Merriman has already established a field office in the Estevan Comprehensive School.

The other superintendents appointed were

Lynn Little Shelly Sargeant for the eastern region and Rhae-Ann Holoien, who will be superintendent of education.

“We have met as a team, done some strategic planning and reviews and ensured one another that we’re on the same page and being supportive and know who takes on what role,” said Little. “For us the job is to support teaching who will do the job of

providing the best for students.”

On the teacher front, Little said the division was ready to go with more than 550 educators signed and assigned. “I think we had only one bus driver position to fill as of this week,” she said.

Literacy consultants have been increased from one to three, replacing a couple of curriculum consultancy positions due to the increased need for early literacy training in most sectors around the southeast.

“We are predicting stability in enrollment numbers this year,” said Little, referring to the overall student registration numbers that should level out at around 8,200, the same as they did last year when a slight increase of about 60 students was recorded. “We’ll have a much better picture by the first week in September, of course,” she said.

There are no major issues with any of the 38 school facilities other than the fact that in some instances, the division is dealing with aging structures that will require replacement sooner, rather than later. In terms of priorities for major renovation or replacement, the division’s response to the Ministry of Education’s request for setting school replacement priorities listed the

Weyburn Junior High School, which will be reconfigured for elementary school use once the major renovations and additions are completed at the Weyburn Comprehensive School, Carlyle and then Souris School, also in Weyburn.

Little said she doesn’t feel intimidated or uncomfortable with the promotion since she’s been at the board’s table for the past five years, either as superintendent of education or as the incoming deputy director. She said she is familiar with the personalities around the table and also the senior administrators as well as many of the teachers, already having served as teacher and principal in the division for 17 years.

“I have a pretty firm idea of board direction,” she said.

Little said she would like to see some predictability built into the school year calendars since the current system requires administrations to make changes year-to-year depending on the starting dates, which now can’t be set before Labour Day. Some years this will allow them to build in a February break, while other years won’t, she said.

“It would be nice to know some of these things a bit in advance so families can make plans,” said Little.

Two committees close in on $10 million of locally raised health funds

By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca

Two groups with major fundraising goals are zeroing in on their targets with the expectation of reaching them within a few months.

The Hearthstone committee has been engaged in the fundraising game for three years and they want to wrap up their campaign this fall. They have accumulated over $7.5 million of their $8 million objective, said their chairman Don Kindopp. The ultimate goal is to construct a new Estevan Regional Nursing Home to replace the aging 80-bed structure that currently serves the purpose of housing and caring for residents who require higher level assistance for their everyday needs.

The other team is gunning for $2 million, and although they’ve only been in fundraising mode for a little over a month, they’re already at the $1.5 million level and hoping to close the deal this fall as well. Their objective is the purchase and installation of a computed tomography (CT) scanner at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Estevan.

“We want to close out our program and get out of the way,” said Kindopp, referring to his committee’s desire to leave the fundraising stage for the CT scanner team, to enable them and the public to focus on one major fundraiser at a time.

Once the $8 million is raised, the Hearthstone committee can dissolve and the new ERNH committee takes over to lobby and push the board of directors and administration at the Sun Country Regional Health Authority to move them closer to a start of construction date that can only be approved by the provincial Ministry of Health.

“The government says that’s the protocol and that’s how it’s got to be done,”

Don Kindopp

Greg Hoffort

said Kindopp.

A promising canola crop that is being pledged to Hearthstone, has yet to be combined, but when it is, those funds will be added to the $7.5 million collected or pledged so far, said the Hearthstone leader.

“When we get that $8 million, it’s in the hands of Sun Country, and we want to wrap it up by the end of this fall,” Kindopp added. “We’re still looking and appealing to some corporations and local businesses. There is still some potential out there. We haven’t been that active this summer, but we’ll be back at it soon.”

Individual donations of the $20, $50 and $100 variety may be made online by visiting ERNH.ca where donation directions are available or a mail-in donation may be directed to Hearthstone at 1201Second St., S4A OM1.

Kindopp said Hearthstone would like to send the project into Phase 2 by

handing the project over to the ERNH committee and Sun Country within the next few months with the expectation that they’ll take it to Phase 3, which includes approval, planning and construction dates set by the Health Ministry.

On the CT scanner issue, Greg Hoffort, executive director of St. Joseph’s, sees a much shorter target date both for fundraising and starting construction since approval for the CT machine has already been granted by the provincial government.

All funds for the scanner and its installation will be borne by the local committee, which is also leading the fundraising charge.

“We have identified the space in the hospital that will undergo renovations to accommodate the CT scanner,” said Hoffort. “We’ll be ready to call for a request for proposals to supply and install the scanner and for renovations. We expect

to do that within the $2 million budget.

Our goal is April 1 of 2015.”

Hoffort said the new scanner will he housed in a newly reconfigured 15’ x 30’ space that will accommodate not only the scanning device but also the viewing room for the technician and the computer hardware.

“It will mean re-locating the ultrasound imaging to a different area to ensure we don’t have to add on to the building at all. It’s an ideal location really since it’s next to the emergency ward and the other imaging services and laboratory.”

Hoffort said St. Joe’s already has one imaging technician on staff who is fully trained on CT scanners, and they would require at least three for start-up to ensure full coverage of service with the entire imaging staff to eventually be trained in its operations. They expect to recruit two more imaging technicians. They might already be trained CT operators, or they will be technicians willing to be trained.

Fully trained technicians require up to two years to complete the process and gain certification.

“So I believe it’s important that we recruit at least one more technician who has already been trained,” said Hoffort.

The service will probably be eased into the hospital’s schedule with typical 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. coverage daily and on-call service for night time emergencies.

Hoffort said the local physician pool, which currently numbers 10 and will soon be up to 13, is completely on board with the project as they see it as being a crucial addition to the services they’ll be able to supply.

Hoffort added that the local physician recruitment and retention committee is close to making further announcements regarding incoming physician and specialist services in the local hospital.

Yellowfeed is an option come harvest time Charlotte Ward PAg, Regional Forage Specialist, Yorkton Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture As producers are wrapping up harvest on their hay stands, thoughts turn to harvesting annual cereals for greenfeed.

Harvesting greenfeed has created a lot of headaches in the past few years as excess moisture has delayed seeding and resulted in delayed greenfeed harvest. With delayed harvest, we start to run into shorter days, cooler temperatures and increased risk of precipitation, none of which equal a stress free forage harvest.

This year, producers in the eastcentral region have shown a renewed interest in the production of yellowfeed.

Yellowfeed is a method of harvesting forage where the annual cereal crop is sprayed with glyphosate at the milk (oats) or soft dough (barley) stage and allowed to stand until dry.

In theory, the cereal forage will dry sufficiently while standing so it can be cut with a swather and baled immediately after cutting.

The advantages of yellowfeed over traditional cutting and baling include the

standing crop drying quickly after a rain as air can readily flow through the stand; there is no need to turn the windrows for drying after a rain; the crop can be cut with a swather rather than a haybine; and fall perennial weed control.

At first glance the disadvantages appear to be minimal considering the seemingly easy access to high clearance sprayers and the cost of glyphosate; however, producers must be prepared for a lack of regrowth for fall grazing.

Research has shown that when annual cereals are harvested as yellowfeed, there tends to be an increase in forage yield (seven per cent) from the time the crop is sprayed with glyphosate up to 20 days after application before yield starts to decrease. Average crude protein content tends to decline one to two per cent after spraying; however, because there is an increase in overall yield, the per cent of total digestible nutrients tends to remain relatively constant or change minimally with the weather. Many livestock producers believe that the palatability of yellowfeed is equal to or better than regular greenfeed.

Looking back to field trials conducted in 2001 to 2003, the drying standing

theory does not always work. In two of the three years of trial data there was no rain during the standing drying period and the standing crop was dry enough to cut and bale 12-15 days after spraying.

In the year where there was extended wet weather after glyphosate application, the drying period extended upwards of 38 days after spraying.

Putting this into perspective, if a crop was sprayed with glyphosate the last week of August and cool, damp weather moved in the following week and persisted well into September, even standing, the forage crop may not dry to a level that is suitable to cut and bale immediately after cutting.

This is the scenario that a few producers in the region ran into a few years ago.

The longer we wait for the crop to dry past the 12-15 days after spraying, the greater the chance that we are not going to get those good drying conditions in mid to late September.

This point stresses the need for a Plan B. While producers really have nothing to lose by trying yellowfeed, I strongly suggest that that there is a Plan B in place that can be implemented in the event that the standing forage shows no indication of drying down 12-15 days after spray-

ing. This plan may include hooking up the haybine and laying the feed in a wide windrow to dry. This will open up the stem and remove the direct access of moisture from the ground through the plant. Careful consideration must be given to the weather forecast at that time so that we are not laying down a crop with precipitation in the immediate forecast.

Alternatively, Plan B may include silaging the crop. If this is considered, pay careful attention to moisture content to ensure there is enough moisture to allow the ensiling process to occur. With proper air exclusion, good bale silage can be put up at 40-55 per cent moisture content.

While yellowfeed has been shown to work really well for some producers, Mother Nature will ultimately dictate the success of this practice. Producers are encouraged to consider all options and come up with a risk management strategy in the event Mother Nature decides not to cooperate.

EDITORIAL

It’s time to transition The lead up to this weekend’s Labour Day begins a period of rapid transition full of endings and beginnings.

You can see it in the fields and feel it in the air and hear it in the way people talk. The times, they are changing.

The most obvious, and perhaps disheartening, is the end of summer. With August on the way out, autumn is the next stop in the cycle. Along with that, we can put the dog days behind us and move forward into a period of activity.

As August is the final opportunity at relaxation, September beckons in longer schedules jammed into shorter days.

School is around the corner, with our university students packing up and leaving home this week, and our secondary and elementary students picking out their new outfits for the start of the 2014-15 school year next Tuesday. Certainly, the schedules of all the young people become exponentially busier overnight.

We once again remind motorists around Estevan and those travelling the highways and country roads to be mindful of the added pedestrian and bus traffic. The city’s crosswalks will be more regularly trodden and our yellow buses deserve wide berths, so all of our drivers should be doubly alert come Sept. 2.

It’s an exciting time for parents who finally get to whisk their kids out of the house each morning, and it’s a chance for students to reconnect and get involved.

But the tumultuous transitioning doesn’t stop with the world of education.

The agriculture world experiences its own ignition period as timelines become tighter and the crops require an extra dose

Dick Collver revealed Sask.’s other side It has been almost 30 years since the Saskatchewan public last saw Dick Collver.

While in Saskatoon on another matter, he was subpoenaed to testify for the Crown in the first-degree murder trial of his old Progressive Conservative caucus colleague Colin Thatcher.

Under the advice of his legal counsel Ron Barclay, who is now, Saskatchewan’s Conflict of Interest Commissioner, the former leader of the PC party testified that Thatcher once asked for advice on hiring a hitman to kill his ex-wife JoAnn Wilson.

After that, Collver faded into political obscurity until his death earlier this month in Thailand at age 78.

But when it comes to Saskatchewan’s political history, Collver was anything but obscure.

Sure, the one-time Nipawin MLAelected PC leader in 1973 never rose beyond the heights of opposition leader. And

of attention before being removed from the province’s sprawling fields.

Again, with more activity in the fields, there will be added activity on our roads and highways. Equipment will be moving from acreage to acreage, and harvested crops will be trucked to the various terminals around the southeast for shipment.

Dependent on the always-unpredictable weather, our local farmers are left to work the fields at a backbreaking pace, cognizant that on any day a downpour could shut operations down and a cold spell could spoil a season’s worth of work.

While the sports world runs year round, the slate becomes a little more bogged down as the local football teams begin playing on home turf once again, and before long, the pucks will drop on the many hockey seasons for our young men and women.

Along with the schools’ academic programs starting up will be their athletic programs, and all of these teams, whether they are in the schools’ or the city’s many minor sports programs, they enjoy the community’s support and attendance.

The end of August marks the beginning of the final push to get things done in the calendar year. Construction projects must reach a certain point before the cold hits and the ground freezes.

At the end of August, we realize time is running out, our deadlines are staring us in the face, and we have a smaller window of opportunity to see things through to completion. It’s crunch time for everyone, and it’s a wonder if we’ll even have an opportunity to watch the leaves change.

yes, he will rightly be remembered by many for his outlandish behaviour.

One incident involved shooting a firearm off the balcony of his Regina apartment in a late-night stupor, an offense that then Thatcher lawyer and now judge Gerry Allbright raised at the trial to dissuade the jury of Collver’s credibility.

And, of course, there was Collver’s less than eloquent departure from Saskatchewan politics after losing the 1978 election to the NDP. Soon after resigning as Tory leader, he and fellow Conservative Jack Hamm formed what they called the Unionest Party, a Western separatist movement whose goal was to have Saskatchewan and Western Canada join the United States.

The NDP retroactively changed legislation so that they could not enjoy the benefits of party status in the Saskatchewan Legislature that included public funding.

That resulted in Collver holding a 38-hour filibuster to block the bill.

Such antics might normally have confined Collver to realm of political oddity.

But this really only tells half the story, as Dick Collver really does represent half the Saskatchewan story.

“There’s no question he was a pivotal figure in Saskatchewan politics,” said Dale Eisler, former Leader-Post political columnist who once occupied this very newspaper space.

“He, more than anybody else, revived the Progressive Conservative Party ... which had been moribund for generations.”

As Eisler rightly noted, it was Collver and his ability to politically organize and rally people that very much paved the way for Grant Devine’s win in 1982 and perhaps even Brad Wall’s success in the

past seven years.

“One of the offspring of Dick Collver is the Brad Wall government,” Eisler said.

It is for that reason that Wall issued a statement last week describing the quirky Collver as “a strong conservative voice who led the PC Party from zero seats to official Opposition status.”

Similarly, current PC leader Rick Swenson praised Collver for his “boundless energy and enthusiasm,” that awoke the Saskatchewan PCs from their “40-year electoral malaise.”

Again, it’s all a little odd that a politician whose strange behaviour and ideas including ending Saskatchewan as we know it would be so lauded by these political luminaries.

Perhaps this outpouring of affection from conservative politicians has something to do with the way Collver reawakened the dormant conservative side of this province.

Seven years after Collver’s last public appearance in Saskatchewan in 1984, an old nemesis, Roy Romanow, would regain power for the NDP from the scandalplagued Devine Tories. He would accomplish the 1991 NDP campaign entitled “The Saskatchewan Way.” And for decades, the NDP in this province whole-heartedly believed the NDP way was the Saskatchewan way.

But this province has actually benefitted from both the co-operative/commonwealth philosophy from the NDP and the free-enterprise spirit that governed PCs, Sask. Party and Dick Collver.

Collver had a big role in writing that other half of the Saskatchewan story. For this, he should not be forgotten.

Taking a spin around the sand box

We h a v e n ’ t played in the sand box for a few months have we, dear diary?

So let’s do that this week since I have so many topics to cover and so little time.

First, it’s back to school for the kids. Do you recall your school days? Remember those times when kids had the opportunity to actually walk to school with friends and acquaintances? Now they ride buses, no matter where they live. So much for active lifestyles. I wonder if they stare out the windows or do they stare at the smartphone or iPad screen?

It’s also the end of the gardening season, which evokes another great memory … raiding gardens in my hometown.

We only did it for the risk factor, to see if we would get caught. I’m sorry, but that’s what stupid kids did, and our town was full of them. The treasure the gardener would have to give up due to our intrusion would usually be two carrots or one onion. It would always be something we could take home and consume. That’s why I never snatched cucumbers or zucchinis. I don’t like cucumbers and zucchinis. There is no value in them. Everyone has zucchini.

Even crappy gardeners like me can grow zucchinis. They are the weeds of the gardening world.

Years later when I returned to my hometown to be a newspaper guy there for a few years, some of the same people whose gardens I raided as a kid offered me produce by the tonnes. The bride and I didn’t have a garden, but everyone surrounding us did. It seemed every day after work we’d get home and there would be beets, turnips, potatoes, cucumbers (bride likes them), carrots, onions, etc. heaped on our back step. We rarely knew who brought the stuff over. We would end up having to leave notes on the back door asking them to cease when we ran out of space.

Or, we’d leave our produce order. “We have lots of carrots, but getting short on onions … do you mind?” They never did. That’s the great thing about living in small towns. I hear that some people in cities actually buy cucumbers and zucchinis in grocery stores. How sad!

Hey, all you global warming alarmists, take your lobbying efforts to the major airlines and tell them to cut back on their flights. One Winnipeg to TO flight muddies up the ozone and emits more gases than hundreds of thousands of vehicles on the roads. See how far you can get with those protests. I know, railroads and pipelines are easier to attack, but I say, take your arguments to China and the airlines.

They are the major league polluters. Canada is little league in this game. But, of course, we’re the low hanging fruit for the movement aren’t we?

How about those new CFL uniforms? Ouch. The poor Bombers had to sport the worst of a bad bunch (so far).

The designers forgot to include Bomber gold in the LSD inspired pattern. They looked more like ill Argonauts after somebody threw up on their helmets. Our Riders looked like guys in lime green scuba gear. The Lions, well, we couldn’t see the numbers and those Ottawa Two Colours, that one defies description.

But, hey, other than that, those new unis looked pretty good.

I was going to do a little pontificating on the subject of drone aircraft intruding on the lives of the unsuspecting, but I don’t believe I have enough space to give it a full airing, so we’ll leave you now, dear diary. Enjoy the warm weather that is supposed to be here by now.

REALTOR® / Branch Manager

306-421-6636 Unit #1390A, 400 King St. Estevan, SK S4A 2B4

Estevan: Saskatchewan’s sports leader in 2016 The Editor, On behalf of the board of directors for the Estevan 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games, it is our pleasure to write a letter in support of the proposal being submitted by the Estevan Bruins Club and the community of Estevan to host the 2016 Western Canada Cup. The community of Estevan is well known for its active volunteers and our ability to run first class, successful events. The Estevan Bruins is a strong club, operated by a dedicated group of hardworking individuals. Any event hosted by this group will be run in a positive and effective manner.

Our board, in preparation for the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games in July of 2016, is excited about the opportunity to partner with the committee that

has been struck to organize the Western Canada Cup in Estevan. We feel that with the committees working together to host the two events, we can create a vibrant atmosphere in our community. It is our plan to share resources, expertise and build off of each other’s excitement as the two events come closer. We have pride in our community, and we welcome all opportunities to bring events such as these to Estevan.

The 2016 Western Canada Cup will be well housed in the remarkable arena, Affinity Place. We are excited for people to see that multi-use facility utilized as the home for a major hockey tournament and then a few months later, utilized as the home of the opening and closing ceremonies for the Saskatchewan Summer Games.

It will show off the facility in the way that the volunteers, who worked countless hours fundraising to build it, could only dream.

We look forward to watching some hockey with you, and then having you stick around to watch the biggest multi-sport event in Saskatchewan a short time later. Estevan is the place to be in 2016!

Sincerely, Brian Senchuk and Brian Smith Estevan Summer Games Committee co-chairmen The preceding letter was written to the 2016 Western Canada Cup Selection Committee.

SGEU against liquor store privatization The Editor, Premier Wall wants Saskatchewan people to share their views on whether it is a good idea to privatize our province’s public liquor stores. Here is something to keep in mind as we consider what selling off liquor stores will mean for Saskatchewan citizens.

The recent floods will cost Saskatchewan somewhere in the neighbourhood of $150 million. The good

news is that we have an increase in revenues this year to help us pay for those unanticipated expenses.

According to Finance Minister Ken Krawetz’s recent quarterly report, we have more money than projected from non-renewable resources, as well as $81 million more from revenues generated by government business enterprises, like our public liquor stores.

Profits from public li-

quor stores flow back to the people of Saskatchewan.

Last year liquor sales generated $252.3 million for our province. That revenue helps us cover the costs of natural disasters. It also helps us build and maintain public infrastructure, and support valuable public services, like schools, provincial parks, hospitals, and long term care homes.

Selling off public liquor stores – as Premier

Wall has suggested – means that profit from liquor sales will go into the hands of a few private companies, and Saskatchewan people will lose a reliable source of revenue that helps families and communities in good times and, most importantly, in times of need.

Giving back to War Amps The Editor, I lost both of my legs below the knee due to meningitis and was enrolled at the age of ten in The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program. On the weekend of Aug. 15-1 7, I had the opportunity to attend The War Amps 2014 Western Seminar in Winnipeg as a Junior Counsellor. The Seminar brought together child amputees from Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.

Junior Counsellors are representatives of the Association and role models

for younger Champs as they too grow up in CHAMP. I am able to help out with the seminar during the many sessions, and talk to the parents of new child amputees.

Having been a Junior Counsellor for almost five years now, I find the role to be beneficial to me as well.

It gives me an opportunity to inspire young Champs, much like the Junior Counsellors I looked up to when I was a newer amputee. I remember being so relieved to see that someone who had an

amputation similar to my own was still able to lead a successful and complete life, and now I can give back by doing this for others.

As someone who has benefited, I would like to thank all of you who support The War Amps Key Tag Service, which has made these programs possible for young amputees like me.

South East Cornerstone trustees set stage for new school year

The board of trustees of the South East Cornerstone Public School Division got back to a normal flow of general business on Aug. 21 when they met in the division’s head office in Weyburn following a one-month summer break.

Not everything was normal though, as trustees took notice of a small floral bouquet that was placed in front of the conference table chair that had been occupied by Weyburn trustee Len Williams for the past 12 years.

Williams died this summer following a battle with cancer. His absence was noted with a minute of silent tribute from his fellow trustees and chairman Harold Laich. It was only about a year ago when these trustees were called upon to pay a similar silent tribute to a former colleague, Garry Hammett, who

died in a vehicle accident.

The trustees quickly and efficiently established a nomination and by-election date for a replacement, as required by provincial legislation, setting Sept.

17 as the nomination deadline and Oct. 22 as the election day in Weyburn if more than one candidate steps forward to fill the role left vacated by Williams’s death.

The regular business portion of the meeting was conducted in rapid order, taking less than 30 minutes to complete as there were no presentations or delegations to contend with during the

start-up session.

A new technology strategic plan is being rolled out with five high level goals for teachers to become familiar with the system, the trustees learned.

Trustee Carol Flynn provided background information on the formation of a new subcommittee that will provide background information for the governance/human resources committee that was established in March.

“It’s not being formed to make decisions, or set policy but to do the background work for

recommendations,” said Flynn.

The committee will look at such things as governance policies, government structure, new trustee training, compensation for senior leaders and director/ CEO, board member and chairman evaluations, a code of conduct, and emergency plans to replace senior leaders in the event of unexpected circumstances that might require such action.

The trustees also re-scheduled their September meeting, deciding to hold it on Sept.

15 rather than Sept. 18, which would be the traditional meeting date, due to the fact that director of education Lynn Little has a Regina-based meeting to attend on Sept. 18.

The board has also scheduled a special open meeting for Oct. 2 to provide information regarding school review results.

The notice of school reviews sets the stage for a series of investigations into schools that qualify for scrutiny due to declining enrollments. Last academic year, the division had three schools that qualified for review that could have led to closure, but declined to do so, posing the argument that all three had shown enrollment improvements and were so close to meeting the minimum requirements they felt it made sense to provide them with the comfort of knowing their programs and facilities were not going to be shut down.

They are now required to once again revisit that decision partially based on 2014-15 school enrollment numbers that will be known shortly after the division’s 38 schools re-open for a new academic year on Sept. 2.

Suspended STF president’s role may be clouded The status of Colin Keess, in terms of his situation with the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation and his teaching position at the Estevan Comprehensive School, is in the hands of the STF, said South East Cornerstone Public School director of education, Lynn Little.

Keess, who was re-

elected president of the STF in May of this year, has since been suspended by their executive board. When issuing the suspension a couple of weeks ago, the STF said Keess had contravened their code of conduct but did not elaborate on that statement.

Keess, a former ECS

14085DS00

principal and veteran educator, is on an official leave of absence from the school division and has been since he was first elected STF president two and a half years ago. It is a provincial tradition that the STF provides compensation to the school division that claims the teaching contract of their

Frozen Yogurt Smoothies Italian Soda

elected president. That is deemed necessary because a replacement educator must be hired since the STF presidency is considered to be a full-time position.

Now with his role eliminated, or severely diminished at the STF level, Keess may want to return to his teaching job at ECS,

Risk and reward mark harvest time

By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca

As farm operations turn to harvest, there are a plethora of factors that will determine whether this year’s yield will rival 2013’s record-breaking crop or whether they dip through this fall. As always, weather is the unknown but all powerful decision maker.

Sherri Roberts, crop specialist for the Ministry of Agriculture in Weyburn, said in many cases right now the crops look good, but because of heavy rain in the southeast over the weekend, many producers can’t get into the fields.

The weekend rains, ranging from 50 to 80 millimetres across various parts of the southeast, may keep farmers out of the fields for some time.

“Clay can take an awful lot of water. The thing is, it’s going to keep them out of the fields for a while,” said Roberts. “I was down in the Oxbow, Carnduff area last Thursday, and some of those field roads were so slick you wouldn’t have even dared bring a piece of equipment into the field. That’s going to delay things, but the actual crops themselves are looking pretty good.”

Roberts said some

The crops in the field look good, but when area producers will be able to enter some fields will be the determining factor in this year’s yield. farmers are expecting yields comparable to last year, but others have barely started.

“There are others, of course, who are looking at putting in a winter wheat crop because they ended up with not much of a chance to even get into the field.

We kind of go from there,” said Roberts about yield expectations over the harvest season. “A lot of them are optimistic, but now with this rain, it caused a lot of lodging that I’ve noticed, and it’s gong to slow down harvest.

“If some of them had gone in and sprayed their

desiccants, say, on their flax, then the longer they wait to get into that field, the flax matures and they could lose a lot of it. The pods are going to open up and they’re just going to lose it, the same with some of that canola.”

She noted many producers have their crops down, maturing in the swaths, while others may be looking at dealing with issues drying the crops.

“Hopefully, by the time this really gets underway, some of the rail issues get remedied here so that they aren’t sitting on an awful lot,” Roberts

said, noting she has seen a lot of bins on the roads and expects farmers to prepare to store a lot of crop.

Storing crops when they are wet also complicates the process after the crops have left the field.

Moisture testing will have to be done carefully as crops are coming out of the field.

“If they have to take it off at a higher rate because of their scheduling and the timing, then they’re going to have to look at turning those dryers on and really keeping an eye on it, otherwise they’re going to lose it.

“Last year, I know a lot of people just didn’t have the grain storage capacity, so a lot of grain went on the ground,” Roberts said.

She knows a farmer last year who lost a large pile he had covered, so having a plan for where to put grain once it’s off the field is of the utmost importance.

“Last year, a lot of people learned some sad lessons.”

Another issue is an F-word Roberts is wary of in August, but frost, she noted, is a potential concern with the cool overnight temperatures of late.

“I’m looking at the

weather forecast, and I’m seeing Weyburn will be four degrees tonight. If I’m in a low-lying area, I’m going to be out looking at my field tomorrow morning,” said Roberts during an interview on Monday.

She added fusarium fungus has been an issue, particularly with peas. That should be a consideration for farmers when it comes to crop rotations.

“We’ve had quite a bit of fusarium in the peas this year, and people do want to look at that for their crop rotations. They should look at what other crops are susceptible to fusarium and make sure they don’t blend those because their problem is not specific to peas,” said Roberts, who advised against producers rotating in crops only because it was what has been planted in the past. “You might have to think outside the box a little bit here with some of the diseases we’ve seen this year.”

While forecasting and recording is an ongoing process, Roberts noted it’s important to remember how much can change from week to week, and with cooperating weather, things can get better very quickly.

“What happens one week to the next can make a big difference,” she noted with a laugh.

Theft, drug investigations lead to charges Thanks to their Twitter account and some helpful citizens, Estevan Police Service members were able to wrap up a theft investigation within 24 hours of posting some photos and information on the account.

EPS members also made a significant advancement on a drug investigation due to some hard follow-up work on the case.

Those events were just two examples of some additional work that came through the local policing ranks during the past week, which proved to be a busy one for all shifts as the week rolled on.

The Twitter feed investigation began when EPS members posted photos of theft suspects on their account on Aug. 20.

Through Twitter and media dispersal of the photos, several tips were received and a vehicle licence plate number was revealed.

Through viewing an on-site video of the theft, police were able to identify the man and woman, and traffic patrol officers were advised of the suspect vehicle and the names of the suspects along with a brief description. A short

time later a member of the traffic detail spotted the vehicle, and the male and female in it were arrested and charged with theft of goods valued at under $5,000 and for breaching the conditions of a release.

The stolen property was recovered and returned to the business from which it was taken while police issued a thank you to the public for assistance in the event, which led to a successful investigation.

On the drug investigation file, EPS members said they executed a search warrant on the evening of Aug. 24 at a residence in the neighbourhood of 13th Avenue and Ninth Street.

Police seized an amount of suspected liquid psilocybin, better known as liquid magic mushrooms.

A 22-year-old Neepawa, Man. man was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance and for being in breach of two courtordered conditions in relation to other incidents in Manitoba earlier this year.

As a result of this situation, EPS members have now extended their investigation into this particular subject, looking at the

possibility of having a controlled substance imported into Canada.

In the meantime, the man was taken into custody and charged and now has an Oct. 6 court date.

Earlier in the week, EPS members conducted a curfew check on an 18-year-old man who had been freed from custody with one of the court orders being that he refrain from consuming alcohol as well as having a nightly curfew. When the man failed to present himself at the door, EPS members set up a search and the subject was found in the back of his residence. Police noted that he was in contravention of the court order as he had been consuming alcohol, so he was arrested and charged accordingly.

On Aug. 18 a second 18-year-old man was charged with break and enter at a local service station on the city’s west side on Aug. 18. The arrest came following a monthlong investigation into the incident. The man now has a Sept. 29 court date.

Police also received separate complaints on the evening of Aug. 17 regarding a man who was exposing himself and mak-

ing sexual gestures to two people. A search of the area in question did not turn up anyone, but the matter remains under investigation and police remind the public to exercise caution when out at night, by as travelling in twos or more and staying within well-lit areas.

That incident was followed up by another indecent act committed by a man who exposed himself at a local business on the north side of the city on Aug. 20. Police cannot confirm if the two incidents relate to the same possible subject.

A local convenience store complained to police that a woman had entered the establishment and left with a small quantity of food, having failed to pay for it. This investigation was also opened on Aug. 18.

On Aug. 19, EPS members opened an investigation into a 22-year-old man who had been sending harassing messages to several people within the city.

Charges are pending.

An argument between a couple ended up in an assault incident in an apartment block within the city on Aug. 21. Some household items were broken an investigation revealed that some physical pushing had occurred.

A man phoned police later that same night saying that two uninvited people were in his backyard on

the east side of the city.

The man said his dog had started barking so the people left the yard. A search of the local streets did not reveal any suspects.

A man was arrested for outstanding warrants during a routine traffic stop on the night of Aug. 21 and a young person was arrested for being intoxicated in public. While the young man was being searched, an altercation broke out and the people who were accompanying the young man advised police they suspected that someone had slipped some kind of drug into his beverage without him knowing it. The young man was taken into custody and his parents were contacted, and they spoke with their son and it was agreed that he remain in cells until the effects of the drug(s) had been eliminated and he could return to a more calm demeanour. In the meantime, urine samples were collected and sent to a laboratory for analysis pending any further policing action.

A theft from a local clothing store is being investigated by EPS members as of Aug. 22. The person took a pair of boots from the shelf, took them to the counter and provided a bill of sale and had the exchange money put onto his card and then left the store.

A traffic stop on Aug. 22 led to a charge of a

person being in possession of less than 30 grams of a controlled substance. A strong odour of marijuana coming from a vehicle prompted the action. The driver also produced an expired licence that indicated he was allowed to carry up to 90 grams of marijuana, but since the licence had expired, the man was charged with the offence.

Another roadside stop was made when police noticed a vehicle stopped at a flashing yellow light. The ensuing breathalyzer test indicated the subject had failed so another breath sample was required and following that action, the driver was charged with impaired driving and driving while his blood-alcohol content was over .08 per cent.

Another man was found asleep behind the wheel of his vehicle. The engine was running, the seatbelt was fastened and his window was down.

When confronted by police, the subject said he was simply warming up but a breathalyzer test showed that there was a certain level of impairment so the man was issued a 24hour driving suspension.

An assault that occurred at a residence on Souris Avenue on Aug. 22, resulted in the two parties being sent on their way for the rest of the night. ⇢ A11 EPS

EPS asks subjects to come forward Break and enter ⇠ A10 When police stopped a vehicle that had an expired licence plate, they discovered that the man driving the vehicle had been assaulted but he declined to give police a statement regarding his condition.

Some fights outside a local lounge were reported to police on Aug. 22. Most of the combatants left the east side scene prior to police arrival but one person was arrested and later released into the care of his wife.

A northside restaurant and lounge was the subject of some damage on Aug. 22. A window was smashed by the accused who was located by police and charged. The man also agreed to cover the cost of the window repair.

Police attended to St. Joseph’s Hospital on the night of Aug. 22 to speak with a man who was being treated for injuries following an assault at a local convenience store just off King Street. A store surveillance video was studied by police who were able to identify one of a possible nine suspects who are now wanted. The subjects who were involved in the fracas are being advised to come forward prior to police having to contact them through other means.

Police are looking into a theft that took place from a yard

of a residence on the northeast side of the city on Aug. 23.

A group of people had entered the property near Albert St. and Bannatyne Ave. and took some items before departing the scene.

While police were searching the area where the theft had occurred, they observed some tree branches touching a power line that had started to arc so Fire Rescue Services and SaskPower personnel were contacted and attended the scene to repair the problem.

An intoxicated man who was causing a disturbance at a residence in the central part of the city was arrested and lodged in cells until sober.

Another call to police led them to a north end lounge parking lot where a group of at least six people were involved in a fight. The fighting had ceased by the time police arrived, but they noted emotions were still high, so the parties involved were sent on separate paths and no further policing action was required.

A driver of a vehicle that was stopped for a routine check on the night of Aug. 23, refused to provide a breath sample, so he was charged accordingly and taken into custody until he regained sobriety.

cases aplenty Tyler Daveyduke appeared via closed circuit television in Estevan Provincial Court on Aug. 25 for numerous break and enter and possession of stolen property charges he obtained last month in Estevan.

The defense suggested to presiding Judge Lane Wiegers that Daveyduke’s trial be relocated to Drug Treatment Court in Regina on Sept. 2, which Wiegers accepted.

Another man from Estevan who was charged with several break and enter charges along with the failure to provide a breath or

blood sample, appeared in court on Aug. 25.

Mohammed Mohammed, who appeared on the aforementioned offenses last week in Estevan provincial court on Aug. 18, was also denied release on the same day and has been in remand since.

The defense noted it was “unreasonable” for his case to be stretched out longer than necessary since Mohammed has no previous criminal record and has been in remand for an extended period of time.

A trial date was set for Mohammed on Oct. 17.

Variety of events lined up for gallery The annual Members’ Show at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum will give members the opportunity to place their artwork on exhibit between Oct. 30 and Dec. 19.

The art will be accepted from all skill levels.

The second in a series of film events celebrating art and artists on the screen will feature the movie Exit Through the Gift Shop, a film by graffiti artist Banksy that tells the story of a man obsessed with

winning entries from other similar shows around the province.

On Sept. 11, the gallery is featuring a reception with the opening of two new exhibitions. Work hard, be nice, a presentation by Heather Benning and An Education (Karlie King) and Find something you love to do, and do that thing a lot, by Carrie LaCoste will be opening in the EAGM galleries.

Access Fund renewed The Government of Saskatchewan has renewed an agreement that assists recent immigrants in earning the necessary credentials to work and live in the province.

The Immigrant Access Fund of Saskatchewan, Inc. (IAF SK) is a non-profit organization providing characterbased repayable microloans of up to $10,000 to recent immigrants to the province.

The proposed agreement signed between the provincial government and IAF SK will provide $204,131 in operational funding to enable 58 microloans.

The microloans are for activities related to training, upgrading, licensing, certification, registration and/or memberships required for employment in their occupation in Saskatchewan.

“Immigration is an important part in meeting our population targets as outlined in the Saskatchewan Plan for Growth,” Minister responsible for Immigration Jeremy Harrison said. “As our population continues to climb, we need to ensure new immigrants can use their education and training to be active contributors to our provincial economy.”

“Thanks to the continued support of the Ministry of the Economy, Immigrant Access Fund of Saskatchewan is able to continue supporting immigrants to Saskatchewan in their professional pursuits, so that they may continue contributing to the province’s social and economic success,” IAF SK Executive Director Carrie Church, said.

The period of the new 14-month contract will be April 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015. In addition, new provincial loan eligibility criteria will ensure the program helps those it was intended to serve (e.g., recent immigrants without access to traditional credit) and loan support activities will lead to qualifications and employment in Saskatchewan.

Two authors slated for readings in Sept.

The Estevan Public Library will be the scene of two public readings by authors in September.

Todd Devonshire will be reading from his small town hockey book, Rink Burgers on Saturday, Sept. 7 and Jean Freeman will read from her non-fiction book, Fists Upon a Star: A Memoir of Love, Theatre and Escape from McCarthyism. She will also be promoting her two children’s books at the reading, which will be held Sunday, Sept. 21.

Devonshire and Freeman will also be available to chat with the public and sign copies of their books following the formal portion of the evening’s schedule.

Devonshire is a native of Big River, Sask., and a graduate of the University of

Saskatchewan with degrees in education and kinesiology, but the inspiration for his novel came during his years of travelling trains and subways through Tokyo. When he returned to Saskatchewan he finished the novel about his family’s experience with small town hockey.

Rink Burgers has been called a “love affair with hockey … rinks in small towns, delicious rink burgers and moments of misery and exhilaration that fans and players share.

The story of a father and son is in the heart of the novel.”

“The humour is laugh-out-loud hilarious and the imagery is powerful … the chill of a prairie winter … the skate blade’s scrape … the onions frying; we can taste the rink burgers,” said fellow author Wes Funk.

Rink Burgers captures the familiar scenes Canadians are so accustomed to, like time spent at the local rink, cheering sons, daughters, friends, nieces, nephews and other family members, as they clasp coffee cups between cold hands or steal fries from a neighbour’s basket.

When Freeman arrives at the library on Sept. 21, she’ll be able to recount her multilayered career as an actress, writer and story teller. She’ll also be able to talk about her occasional appearances on the hit CTV series Corner Gas, playing the role of the mother of Dog River’s mayor.

Fists Upon a Star, is a collaborative work with the late American theatre director Florence James and Freeman’s memoirs

that included fleeing the United States to Saskatchewan after a devastating experience with McCarthyism. It is her first foray into adult literature with her two previous works being children’s stories.

Fists Upon a Star is a memoir of a woman who believed theatre “could offer both an uplifting artistic experience and the tools to advance community development.”

Freeman worked closely with James before her death so that a message on creativity, freedom and “fascistic strain of American politics that continues today,” would not be in vain.

Any further information regarding these readings may be obtained by contacting Krista at the public library at 306-636-1621.

Economic benefits of pregnancy checking cows

By Naomi Paley, BSA, PAg - Regional Livestock Specialist, Yorkton Special to the Mercury Pregnancy checking should be an annual ritual for your herd. Some choose not to use it on grounds of cost; however, the economic benefits of this practice are simple to realize.

The greatest benefit is the identification of nonpregnant animals. Compare the average cost of a pregnancy exam ($3.50-$5 per head) to the cost of feeding an open cow for the winter, which can easily run over $250 per head at current prices. Removing these unproductive cows as soon as possible after the breeding season can result in significant cost savings.

The cost of owning and maintaining a beef cow for a year is high, so it’s important every cow on the property is fully productive. Even if they have calves at foot, nonpregnant cows are only partially productive.

An exam can also estimate the age of the fetus.

With this information you can calculate your calving date and better supplement your cows through the winter. With properly balanced winter-feeding rations, the potential cost savings by not over or under feeding could easily be hundreds or thousands of dollars.

When it comes to culling, various options are available if you know the cow’s pregnancy status. If pregnant, cows need to be sold, a pregnancy test will appeal to potential buyers who will be looking to purchase animals that will calve in line with the cows already in their herd. As for the non-pregnant animals producers must consider feed availability, current cow prices and their own management when deciding to cull them or not. By pregnancy testing, they are in a position to make the best possible decision. In most situations, that would be to cull the opens as soon as possible.

If you calve your herd in the spring (March to

May), your veterinarian will likely want to pregnancy check your cows in the beginning of September.

This will ensure all cows are at least 45 days pregnant at the time of palpation. The other benefit to palpating cows early in the fall is that open cows can go to market before the cull cow market typically drops in November and December.

Keeping an eye on cull cow markets is very important. Our cow markets have been strong and continue to maintain their strength.

Selling a cull for $1.10/lb. or higher and netting close to $1,500 (depending on

the size of cow) will not only pay for the pregnancy checking it will yield a profit that can be reinvested into replacement heifers or maybe even AI semen to improve the genetics and profitability of your herd.

In a herd of 100 cows, it will cost approximately $500 to check all 100 cows for pregnancy status. The average percentage of open cows is 10-15 per cent.

Even if only five per cent are found to be open, the net profit to a producer is thousands of dollars in feed savings alone. In fact, work in commercial herds has shown if a cow goes a

year without having a calf, it takes her the next six years of her life to make up for the profit lost by missing this one calf. This is assuming she then calves on a yearly interval for the

next six years.

Pregnancy examination has been found time and again to be one of the most profitable procedures cow-calf producers can perform on their herd. As

we come through what has been a tough time in the cow-calf sector and move into more profitable times, it is a good idea to stick with proven methods to improve your herd’s profitability.

More than 4,000 Average yields reported to begin harvest in Saskatchewan speeders caught Just over one per cent of the 2014 provincial crop had been combined as of Aug. 18, while four per cent is swathed or ready to straight-cut, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s weekly crop report.

The five-year average, between 2009 and 2013, for this time of year is two per cent combined and five per cent swathed or ready to straight-cut.

Harvest operations are the furthest ahead in the southwestern region where four per cent of the crop has been combined. At this time, average crop yields are being reported in most areas.

Provincially, 19 per cent of fall rye, nine per cent of field peas, eight per cent of winter wheat and three per cent of lentils are combined. Seven per cent of canola and four per cent of mustard are swathed. Recent warm weather has encouraged crop development; however, frequent rain showers and heavy morning dew are delaying crop maturation and harvest operations for many producers.

Rainfall this past week ranged from trace amounts to several inches in some southeastern and west-central areas. Across the province, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as seven

per cent surplus, 82 per cent adequate, 10 per cent short and one per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as four per cent surplus, 79 per cent adequate, 16 per cent short and one per cent very short.

Heavy rain, strong winds and hail caused the majority of crop damage this week. Grasshoppers, wheat midge, fusarium head blight and sclerotinia are also causing some damage.

Farmers are busy desiccating, swathing, combining and finishing up haying operations.

Pfeifer, Durward, King capture track titles No one, including Jordan Durward, had any earthly idea who would emerge as the Estevan Motor Speedway stock car champion.

Four drivers went in with a chance on Friday. It went down to the very end.

Durward wasn’t sure he had won until he was congratulated coming off the track.

Rocky Alexander, who held the lead going in, was in a collision in his heat and didn’t start the feature. That left Geoff Mann (one point out), Durward (three points) and Gregg Mann (six points) to battle it out.

Gregg did everything in his power to take his second straight championship by winning the feature.

As the race was winding down, it looked like there would be a tie atop the standings, as Durward was sitting in fourth place.

“I knew I had to beat Geoff and Gregg, and if I didn’t beat Gregg I had to be close,” Durward said. “With two laps to go, I figured we were going to end up tying, since Gregg was in first and I was in fourth. It felt like a sign from God when someone bobbled and I passed them for third, because I’ve never won one of these things before. I was nervous as all hell going into it.”

That move gave the Trenton, N.D., driver the point he needed to beat Gregg. Geoff, meanwhile, finished in ninth place and wasn’t a threat, although Durward didn’t know that at the time.

It was a meaningful championship win for Durward, although it wasn’t confirmed until the next day when Saturday’s races were rained out. Saturday was supposed to be championship night for the three regular classes, but after the cancellation, the standings after Friday’s races became final. However, they are unofficial until the IMCA gives its stamp of approval.

“I’ve probably lost it every which way you can possibly lose it. It feels like it’s hit me a few times, but I don’t know if it’s going to hit me till I see the trophy. I’ve been trying for so long. I’ve been the leader on points throughout the years at Williston and ended up losing it at the end, or I’d have to leave for school and have to give it up. Honestly, it means the world to me. That was one of my goals when I first started racing. Start winning and once you started winning, start winning championships,” Durward said.

Meanwhile, Bowbells, N.D. driver Steven Pfeifer was a double champion at EMS, winning the modified and late model features when the dust settled.

Pfeifer entered the modified feature with a three-point lead on Mason Big Eagle. Big Eagle finished third, followed by Pfeifer in fourth.

Pfeifer said he tried to run a clean race and just keep an eye on Big Eagle.

I wanted to stay away from everybody and be by myself on the track, so if anything happened it was my own fault,” he said.

In fact, Big Eagle started in 10th, one position ahead of Pfeifer, so the latter made sure to stick to the challenger as they moved toward the front.

Ed Turnbull won the feature, followed by Aaron Turnbull.

“As long as I was in fourth, I was OK. I didn’t think he would get Ed and Aaron. If he did, I would have pushed a little harder.

I was right behind him, I didn’t need to go any harder. I just clicked off laps,” Pfeifer said.

Meanwhile, Pfeifer entered the late model feature with an even tighter lead over Tyson Turnbull, with the two separated by just one point. There was some confusion on that point, due to the WISSOTA late model points system working slightly different from that of the IMCA. “Before the night even started, we were asking each other, how do these points even work, because we’re one point apart,” Pfeifer laughed.

“Tyson and me, we ran late models down in Tucson last winter and neither one of us had real great luck.

To come back here, I don’t think either one of us had the year we wanted. Neither one of us won a feature up there (in Estevan). We had so much trouble. Just to be able to finish each night was a blessing for me.”

As it turned out, Pfeifer took second in the feature, behind Aaron Turnbull, while Tyson finished third.

“I didn’t feel that good in the car. The car was OK, it just wasn’t great,” Pfeifer said. “Me and Tyson can race side-by-side, door-todoor. If there was yellow (Turnbull’s car) beside me, I

wouldn’t block him. Neither one of us races that way. I would have let him go and try to pass him later.”

There were no surprises in the hobby stock class, with Brad King of Minot taking the championship after leading from the start of the season to the end.

He also won the feature, his first victory in Estevan since early in the season.

“I was focusing to make sure the car was ready to go.

I was somewhat on cruise

control, but I still had to finish the race,” he said.

“It was great. That’s what I wanted to do, get back in front of the crowd there and thank them and everything. It was another close race, which is what we’re getting accustomed to in Estevan, a lot of good action. It definitely was nice to get back in the winner’s circle one more time.”

Still, it was not the easiest win for the man they call the Alaskan Squirrel, due to

the track conditions.

“The track was slick. It was pretty snotty out there.

I needed to be very cautious because I didn’t want someone to slide up into me and take me out with the season on the line. I found myself in third place right away, which was a good feeling.

I knew I could sit there and the deal would be done.

With the track being slick, I knew it would be a thinking man’s race, take it easy and let the track come to us. It

dried up a little and then I felt a bit more comfortable about letting it all hang out and going for it.”

It was certainly a banner year for King, who also won the season title in Williston and finished second in Minot.

“All in all, it was just a great year, lots of wins, lots of up front finishes. It went well and I probably won’t race as aggressively next year. I’ll take a little bit of a break.”

Chargers take it on the chin From the rain to the result, it was a forgettable day for the Estevan Century 21 Chargers on Saturday.

In their home opener at Dana Quewezance Memorial Field, the peewee football club went down 57-0 to the Regina Rams.

“It was a tough game.

The weather conditions didn’t help. We had a few kids go down with injuries again, so once again trying to scramble to get kids at the right spot at the right time,” said Chargers head coach Paul Duncan.

“We look forward to the learning experience that we received today and hope to make our improvements and be ready for next week’s game.”

The Rams dominated the first half, building a 42-0 lead. All eight of their touchdowns in the game came on the ground.

The onslaught began six minutes in with a 42yard rushing major, followed by scoring plays of 39 and 32 yards to put Regina ahead 20-0 after the first quarter.

In the second quarter, they added rushing touchdowns of 22, 25 and 15 yards.

They would add a 51yard score early in the third quarter and a short plunge into the end zone late in the fourth quarter.

“The kids didn’t quit.

An Estevan Chargers player attempts to bring down the Regina Rams ball carrier during Saturday’s 57-0 loss.

In the second half, they only had two touchdowns against us, so they made the right steps in the right direction.

We’ll go back to the drawing board and work harder on it for next week,” said Duncan.

One highlight for the Chargers came late in the fourth quarter on an interception by Cyrus Rooks.

Duncan felt the team’s offence could have been more proactive.

“We could have been a little more aggressive. I

think we’re still a little bit tentative on offence. We need to bring the play to them, rather than waiting for them to get to us.”

Although they had about 20 players, an improvement on just 13 in their season opener, Duncan said it’s still hard to field a team with that small of a roster.

“It has been tough with not all the kids here, so it’s a lot of plug and play here and there. It’s tough for them to make sure that they’re completely focused on it at all

times. They are still 12 and 13 years old. They played their hearts out today, and we’re really appreciative of that.”

After losing their first two games, the Chargers will try again on Saturday when they visit the Regina Riders.

Duncan said this week in practice they will work on “making sure we know what the play calls are and making sure that the kids are in the right spot at the right time.”

Estevan Mercury

Estevan Miners running back Keagan Merriman takes off toward the sideline during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s 54-0 loss to the Regina Eskimos.

Frustrating day of football for atom Miners Saturday was rainy, cold and not kind to the Estevan Sherritt Coal Miners.

In less than ideal conditions for their home opener at Dana Quewezance Memorial Field, the atom Miners lost 54-0 to the Regina Eskimos.

It was a frustrating day for head coach Wanda Harron, with the team struggling with the basics despite an excellent practice two days earlier.

“That practice we had on Thursday was one of the best practices I’ve ever seen in Estevan Minor Football, and I felt really

good about it. It was just a total breakdown of fundamentals, right from the get-go — arm tackling, trying to tackle up too high, leaving receivers open and again, lack of blocking around the end,” said Harron.

“If someone could figure it out for me, we’d all be geniuses. Is it because I didn’t bring my usual Friday night popsicles after practice? I honestly don’t know because I felt we entered this game really prepared. But granted, they ran a pretty good offence. There were a lot

of different looks with the receivers and such.”

The Eskimos found the end zone early and often, scoring four touchdowns in the first two quarters to take a 27-0 lead at the half.

Regina added a pair of short majors late in the third quarter, and two more in the fourth, including a spectacular 62-yard catchand-run play into the end zone to cap off the scoring summary.

The score could have been higher had the Miners’ defence not come up with a big third down

Harron said the coaches would cut back on scrimmaging and spend more time on fundamentals.

“What I think I want to try and do this week is on offence, more blocking, because the kids know those plays and those plays were clicking in practice.

Defensively, it’s going to be a lot of tackling and we’re going to try and introduce some plays where you send one guy rushing in and maybe a simple little (play). Because we do have some very talented kids, and we just need to learn to work together more.”

had such a strong game last week,” she said.

The only momentum the Miners generated offensively came early in the fourth quarter, when a significant gain on the ground was followed by a face mask penalty that marched them down to the Regina 30-yard line. However, a holding penalty halted their momentum.

“Regina had a lot more spares, and granted, once the score is 54-0, they were probably rotating in their weaker players. I told them in the last five minutes, just go out there and have some fun, forget about what the score is,” Harron said.

stop in the red zone in the fourth quarter.

Still, it was a disappointing day defensively, Harron said.

“The play was about to start and they were just standing straight up and down, no football-ready positions. Another thing I saw on defence was when our defence was lined up, our players, especially our linebackers, were all standing too close together. During practice, they’re in perfect formation.

“It’s really disappointing to come out flat like that, especially since we

Bruins expect stiff competition TRAINING CAMP OPENS FRIDAY WITH NEARLY 70 PLAYERS The competition will be heavy this weekend as a plethora of youngsters will be fighting for roster spots with the Estevan Bruins.

The Bruins open camp on Friday, with scrimmages four different teams taking place the first two days. On Sunday, camp wraps up with the annual Black and Gold game, with the winner taking the Gerry Aspen Cup. Bruins head coach and general manager Chris Lewgood said just shy of 70 players will be taking part.

Among the group are 13 returnees from last year, along with a large group of youngsters trying to make the team and a younger group there for the experience.

Lewgood said the biggest battles will be for the depth spots up front.

“We didn’t over-recruit on the back end, and we have a pretty good idea what our D corps is going to look like.

There are a lot of good young forwards coming in to fight for the depth spots. There are lot of jobs up for grabs.”

There are several players Lewgood is expecting to step up their game at camp.

“We’re pretty excited about another potential second-generation Bruin, Mahlon Head. His dad Tim played here and his uncle did, too. Levi Barnstable has Estevan ties and we think he’ll fill a role. Brad Arabia was injured in spring camp, but he looked really good on the first day. Chaseton Sare is

a 16-year-old we think will be in the mix for a while and push for a spot.”

Despite losing a full cast of 20-year-olds from last year, including SJHL scoring leader Austin Daae and starting goalie Matt Gibney, Lewgood is expecting this team to hold its own.

“They’re going to have to stand out. There are going to be a lot of young guys in camp, so the guys who make the team are going to have to look like veteran players. We don’t expect a huge drop-off, even though we had lots of turnover, so that means the young players are going to have to get up to speed quickly.”

After training camp, the Bruin hopefuls will have another chance to impress the brass, as the team is hosting a pre-season tournament at Affinity Place next weekend.

The tournament will feature the Weyburn Red Wings, Virden Oil Capitals (MJHL) and Minot Minotauros (NAHL). It will run from Friday to Sunday, with two games each day.

“We’re pretty excited about that. I think a lot of the premise behind it is for our fans. Virden is so close and yet we don’t get to play them. The game we played in the pre-season against the Minotauros last year was exciting,” said Lewgood.

There is an afternoon game on each day of the tournament, and seniors will be able to get into those for free.

Cassan to coach Canada West squad The World Junior A Challenge will be played in Saskatchewan this year and the Canada West entry will have a Saskatchewan bench boss.

Yorkton Terriers coach Trent Cassan was named as the head coach of Canada West on Monday for the tournament taking place in Kindersley Dec. 14-20.

Cassan, fresh off winning the RBC Cup with the Terriers in May, will be making his second appearance with Canada West, having won a bronze medal as an assistant coach in 2013.

He has been head coach in Yorkton for the past five seasons and recently took over the general manager ‘sjob. He has led the team to two league championships and was named the SJHL coach of the year in 2012-13.

“I am honoured and excited to be able to work with many of the top CJHL players from all over Western Canada,” said Cassan.

“The World Junior A Challenge is a first-class event with premier players from all over the world. My experience at the 2013 event in Yar-

mouth, N.S., was a positive one, and I look forward to working with the staff and representing Canada West in Kindersley in December.”t Cassan will be joined by assistant coaches Tim Fragle (Sherwood Park Crusaders, AJHL), Luke Pierce (Merritt Centennials, BCHL) and Jason Williamson (Vernon Vipers, BCHL).

Canada West has appeared in six of the eight gold medal games at the WJAC, winning in 2006, 2007 and 2011. The team also earned silver in 2008, 2009 and 2012, and took bronze in 2013.

Strippers playing on national stage

Hut!

The Estevan Chargers’ offence lines up for the snap during Saturday’s 57-0 loss to the Regina Rams.

The Estevan Strippers oldtimers hockey team is in Edmonton this week competing in the Canada 55-plus Games for the fifth time.

Their first three appearances, in Portage la Prairie, Man.; Dieppe, N.B.; and Brockville, Ont.; resulted in bronze medals.

In their last trip to Sydney, N.S., the team finished out of the medals.

The Strippers have 17 members making the trip.

There are nine teams entered in the 55-plus division, with three pools. The Strippers are in a pool with Ontario The Point 55-plus and the Nova Scotia Ol’ Coyotes.

They will have to win their pool to advance to the medal rounds, as only the top team in each pool moves on.

The second place team in each pool will play for

fourth through sixth place, while the remaining teams play for seventh through ninth.

The other teams in the tournament are the Lethbridge Leafs, Kootenay Glacier, NWT Selects, New Brunswick Falcons, Alberta Warning/Peters and Cornwall Seaway Blades.

Also, three members of the Strippers are competing in the golf event.

Scott Blackstock will play in the 55-plus low gross division, Dale Fox in the 65-plus low net division and Frank John in the 85plus low gross division, in which he is the defending champion.

Other golfers from Estevan are Kathy Blackstock in the 55-plus low net and Ron Rittaler in the 65-plus low gross.

Gary and Darlene Millions of Carnduff are also in the golf competition.

Strippers Give To Games

The Estevan Strippers became the first bronze sponsor of the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games on Friday with a $10,000 donation over two years. Presenting the cheque to Games committee member Kelly McConnell are Leroy Schlamp, left, and Tony Sernick.

Three deserving track champs at Estevan Motor Speedway Josh Lewis Hear Me Out No one can say this year’s season champions at Estevan Motor Speedway weren’t deserving.

Steven Pfeifer, Jordan Durward and Brad King all punched in consistent results for the most part this season and were in the thick of it all year.

Pfeifer is certainly well known in North Dakota racing circles. He has a lot of laps under his belt and is a threat every time he hits the track.

When he began racing regularly in Estevan again this year, it was a given that he would challenge.

At the beginning, he was only planning to chase the late model title here, but ended up racing well enough in his modified to take that one, too.

Pfeifer passed Mason Big Eagle late in the season, thanks in large part to a victory on July 28.

On championship night, the only thing he had to worry about was tailing

Big Eagle, because no one else had a real chance.

The stock car feature provided, by far, the most drama on the night, with four contenders going into the evening.

It had to be a frustrating night for Rocky Alexander, as a collision in his heat led to him not being able to start the feature for the second time this season. He was the leader in the standings, and you can bet he would have been near the front.

That left Durward, Gregg Mann and Geoff Mann. Geoff started ninth and finished there, leaving him out of the running despite having more points than the other two at the start of the night.

The battle for the right to be crowned champion went down to Gregg, last year’s winner, and Durward, looking for his first title.

Durward was sitting three points ahead of Gregg, but heading into the last few laps, Gregg was three posi-

tions ahead, leading the race.

However, Durward slipped into third at virtually the last minute to secure himself the trophy.

In the hobby stocks, Brad King was a sure thing as long as he finished the feature, with Leevi Runge being 10 points out. He did that and then some, earning his fourth victory in Estevan this season.

King dominated the stock car circuit this year and it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Off the track, he’s kind, down to earth and always has time

for anyone.

It would have been interesting to see the results if Brock Beeter had been able to race full-time in Estevan this year. The Beeter brothers served as King’s racing mentors the last couple of years. Would the protege have beaten the mentor? I wouldn’t bet against it.

Contact Josh Lewis at 306-634-2654 or sports@ estevanmercury.ca, or tweet him at @joshlewis306. The CFL East has to be the worst division in sports history, right?

Bruins in need of more billets It’s a critical part of junior hockey and something that needs to be addressed before the season starts.

The Estevan Bruins are in need of more families to billet their players this season.

Billet families take players into their homes as a place to stay during hockey season and also supply meals, for which they are compensated by the team.

“You can’t bring kids in and have a competitive team without having homes for these guys,” said Bruins head coach Chris Lewgood.

“It’s important for them to live in a family-type atmosphere when they’re away from home, here in Estevan.”

Anyone interested in becoming a billet is asked to contact Gail Chilman at 306-421-6723.

Govt. expects initiatives to give Canadians jobs

Jason Kenney, Minister of Employment and Social Development, and Saskatchewan Minister responsible for Immigration, Jobs, Skills, and Training Jeremy Harrison, announced Aug. 25 that two agreements have been signed by the governments of Canada and Saskatchewan to help connect Canadians with available jobs.

“Our government’s top priorities are creating jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity,” said Kenney. “The Canada Job Grant is part of our commitment to address the paradox of too many Canadians without jobs in an economy of too many jobs without Canadians. With employers’ skin in the game, the Canada Job Grant will lead to a guaranteed job. Helping employers train Canadians for jobs that need to

Notice of Call for Nominations Rural Municipality of Cymri No. 36 Public Notice is hereby given that nominations of candidates for the offices of:

Councillor for Division 2 Councillor for Division 4 Councillor for Division 6

According to the 2013 Saskatchewan Employment Forecast, Saskatchewan expects to need 35,000 new workers and almost 60,000 replacement workers in the next five years.

The Canada Job Grant is an innovative, employer-driven approach to help Canadians gain the skills and training they need to fill available jobs. It is designed to be flexible enough to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes, in all industries and regions. By requiring employers to put more skin in the game, the Canada Job Grant will result in training that leads to guaranteed jobs.

The Government of Saskatchewan will be accepting inquiries regarding applications via their provincial website at www.economy.gov.sk.ca/job-grant as of Sept. 2.

Also signed Aug. 25 was the new Canada–Saskatchewan Labour Market Agreement for Persons with Disabilities (LMAPD). With increased employer involvement and a stronger focus on demonstrating the best possible results for Canadians, the new agreement will better connect Canadians with disabilities with available jobs. The LMAPDs are the single largest federal government investment in helping Canadians with disabilities get jobs. Under this agreement, the Government of Canada will provide more than $10.8 million per year to Saskatchewan, a contribution that will be matched by the province.

be filled will help their businesses grow and succeed. And that is good news for the Saskatchewan economy.”

“Saskatchewan continues to be a leader in Canada in terms of economic growth,” Harrison said. “Today’s announcement will allow Saskatchewan businesses to invest in training that will equip their workers with the skills they need to prosper in today’s economy. We look forward to The Canada–Saskatchewan Job Grant being a tool our employers use to develop a skilled workforce and address the labour market challenges that have emerged as a result of economic growth.”

“The Canada Job Grant is an excellent way to increase value for money in training delivery,” Canada’s Building Trades Unions Director of Canadian Affairs Robert Blakely said. “It means all stakeholders work together for the sake of the learner and ultimately the economy. The Canadian Building Trades strongly supports this program.”

The Canada–Saskatchewan Job Fund Agreement invests in initiatives that respond to labour market needs. It also provides funding for programs and services that support the labour market readiness of under-represented groups such as First Nations and Métis people and people with low literacy levels.

Summer’s End Concert

The Souris Valley Theatre held its first Summer’s End Concert on Aug. 23. Four different bands, including the Chris Henderson band, Spencer Vaughn, Lexie Tytlandsvik (bottom middle) and Karisaa Hoffort (bottom right) were present, and provided some fun for those in attendance.

Shakespeare Lite in home concert Damsel and Swains, billed as a pleasurable pastiche of Shakespearean entertainment, will be coming to an intimate setting in Estevan on Sept. 23 as the Home Roots, home concert series gets underway for a new season of musical entertainment.

Damsel and Swains features the talents of Josee Vaillancourt, Brian Richardson and Ryszard Tyborowski.

The evening’s concert will be held in the home of Arlene and Kelly Lafrentz at Boundary Dam beginning at 7:30. The home concerts feature musical entertainment groups and individuals who come to a private home to provide entertainment for the night in a living or family room in front of between 15 and 50 people, according to the space available in the host’s home. The admission fee is modest with most of the funds being directed toward the musicians.

This will be the second year for the series that will feature four or five visits by professional musicians to Estevan and area homes.

The first concert featuring the three entertainers from Manitoba tells the story of Will Kempe, a song and dance man with the Chamberlain’s Men who parts ways with the company as they are about to set up in their new digs, the Globe. He makes his way to a friend’s inn where he spends the evening singing, dancing and learning to appreciate a newfangled instrument, called a guitar, that a French monk

Damsel and Swains, a fun time with Shakespeare will be featured as the opening offering in this season’s Home Roots, house concert series that will be hosted in the home of Arlene and Kelly Lafrentz at Boundary Dam on Sept. 23. has brought over from Spain.

This is the setting for what amounts to an Elizabethan revue that includes audience participation, a sort of Shakespeare Lite in 45 minutes as well as Shakespeare Lovely, with tunes by Tyborowski and his guitar and the vocals of Vaillancourt and Richardson, who plays the role of Kempe

as he jigs and cavorts around the stage.

Vaillancourt was born in Manitoba and raised in Quebec where she received classical piano training before turning to her vocal talents for an enriching career, which now includes everything from medieval Shakespeare, Bach, church chants, Dowland lute songs and oratorio’s arias.

Richardson has led a diverse career path as an actor, playwright, folk musician with the Blarney Band and Longbottom, Winnipeg Folk Festival host, storyteller, theatre fusionist and Heritage Theatre at the Forks entertainer. A Winnipeg resident, Richardson spent time in the Music Hall in his native Ireland and carried his talents into Canada for the Winnipeg and Edmonton Fringe Festivals and even got to take on the role of his countryman George Bernard Shaw, at Shawfest in 2012.

Tyborowski, who now works and lives in Winnipeg teaches classical guitar at the Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music at the University of Manitoba and the Manitoba Conservatory of Music and Arts. He has performed all across North America and Europe and has been rewarded with numerous grants and scholarships in recognition of his talents.

Anyone wishing more information regarding this concert and upcoming concerts or inquiring about tickets and invitations is asked to contact Shirley Andrist at 306634-9302.

Elm pruning ban ends Sept. 1 The annual restriction on pruning elm trees in Saskatchewan ends Aug. 31. Starting Sept. 1, homeowners are encouraged to prune their elms to help keep them healthy.

Each year, pruning of elm trees is prohibited from April 1 to Aug. 31 to reduce the risk of Dutch elm disease (DED). The

elm bark beetles that spread the deadly disease are most active during this period, and fresh cuts tend to attract them.

Regular pruning outside the ban period helps keep trees healthy and better able to resist all types of disease, including DED. Removing dead wood also makes

trees less attractive to elm bark beetles.

Early fall can be a good time for tree maintenance, with generally more pleasant and predictable weather than early spring. Having leaves still on the trees makes it easier to spot and remove dead or unhealthy branches.

Improper pruning techniques can spread DED and other tree diseases, so it’s important to prune correctly, whether you hire someone or choose to do it yourself.

Under the provincial DED regulations, commercial pruners of elm trees must complete a recognized training program

or be supervised by someone who has.

Due to the risk of spreading DED, transporting or storing elm firewood is illegal. Any elm wood should be disposed of promptly by burning or burying it in a location approved by the local municipality. For more information on designated disposal areas and common practices in your area, check with your local municipal authority.

For more information about Dutch elm disease or to report a suspicious tree, contact the Ministry of Environment’s general inquiry line at 1-800-567-4224.

The Saskatchewan Transportation Company (STC) has announced the return of their popular Senior Seat Sale. From Sept. 1 to 30, 2014, seniors aged 60 and over can ride anywhere STC goes for just $15 one-way.

“We want seniors in Saskatchewan to view bus travel as a comfortable and convenient transportation alternative,” Minister responsible for STC Jennifer Campeau said.

“STC’s Senior Seat Sale gives seniors an affordable and green way to visit family and friends across

Saskatchewan.”

Every passenger on an STC bus potentially means one less vehicle on the road – making the province both safer and greener. Bus travel is not only the greener alternative, it is also an affordable alternative. The standard senior fare for a one-way trip between Regina and Saskatoon is $36.55 with tax. If a senior purchases the same one-way ticket in September, he or she can save more than $20.

“This is the sixth year that STC has offered our Senior Seat Sale,” STC

President and CEO Shawn Grice said. “We’re always impressed with the number of senior riders that come out and take advantage of the savings during sale months.”

Seniors can find out more about the sale on STC’s website at www. stcbus.com/seniorsale or on STC’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ STCbus. Sale tickets can be purchased at any STC agency and seniors are reminded to bring their identification with them at the time of purchase and travel.

To celebrate our successes To understand our problems And accept our defeats?

Or for teaching us by your example, The value of hard work, good judgment, Courage and integrity?

We wonder if we ever thanked you For the sacrifices you made.

To let us have the very best?

And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles And times we shared?

If we have forgotten to show our gratitude For all the things you did...

We’re thanking you now And we’re hoping you knew all along How much you meant to us.
