Council approves snow removal policy By David Willberg and William Acri The City of Estevan expects to offer the same level of snow removal as it did this past winter. Estevan city council approved the snow removal policy for 2017-18 at its meeting on Monday night. The timing was appropriate, since it came just days after the city received a couple of dustings of snow that created some icy road conditions. Those conditions improved once sand was applied. “I think the people demand (quality) snow removal,” said Norm Mack, the roads and drainage manager for the city’s public works division. “It was obvious last year that it’s what the people want.”
Mack said the city spent a lot of money on snow removal last winter, thanks to five large snowstorms that hammered the city. Total snow removal costs so far this year are $556,953; the budget for 2017 is about $263,400. “But we have to be practical, too,” said Mack. “If there is three or four inches, we’re not going out and moving snow on priority 3s. We’ll let them pack. “So people have to understand that last year, with all those storms, we had no choice. We just had to do it … because there was so much of it.” The city received a significant snowstorm in January and a blizzard in March. There were also some expenses stemming from a Christmas Day snowstorm last year, since some of the
Bail denied for Marion Ellson By Brian Zinchuk brian.zinchuk@sasktel.net
Two people charged in connection with a drug bust in southeast Saskatchewan during the Thanksgiving long weekend were back in court on Nov. 6, and one will be staying behind bars until the conclusion of her trial. Marion Ellson, a 51-year-old woman from Regina, had her show cause hearing, also known as a bail hearing, on that day. Judge Lane Wiegers imposed a publication ban on evidence in the case. Ellson was denied bail on Nov. 6, and was remanded in custody. Her next appearance will be Nov. 20, by video, for election. She has been charged with one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, one count of possession of a firearm while prohibited from doing so, and one count of careless storage of a firearm. All three charges are under the Criminal Code. She is also facing one count of possession of a con-
trolled substance and one count of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Federal Crown prosecutor Eric Neufeld stayed one count of possession of a controlled substance. Accused in relation to these matters, Neil Goertzen, 60, from Regina, also made an appearance. The Crown elected indictment on his charges. Goertzen had previously been released on a non-cash bail with conditions. Goertzen has been charged with one count of possession of a firearm without a licence and one count of careless storage of a firearm under the Criminal Code, and one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. Goertzen is to appear in court on Dec. 4 to confirm his legal representation.
cleanup work happened early this year. Mack hopes the city will receive as little snow as possible in the final weeks of the year. Snow removal is an essential service, he said, because emergency vehicles need to access the roads and people need to drive in the community. The city won’t be short-changing its snow removal service until the end of the year because of the budget overages. “Snow removal will not be effected by budgets; if the snow comes we will be dealing with it,” said Mack. Mack noted other communities have called the city to find out what Estevan is doing, and have even asked Mack to coach their crews. The snow removal
City of Estevan crews were out clearing snow from pathways in Estevan on Thursday after the city received its first snowfall of the year. Photo by William Acri equipment is ready for the upcoming winter, he said. The city has two relatively new snowblowers, three loaders, a backhoe, a skidsteer for pathways, and
three tandem trucks. It also has access to contractors in the event of a larger snow event. “We have a good fleet of mechanics now, so … be-
fore everything is put away, it’s fixed and ready to go for the next winter,” said Mack. The policy approved by council on Monday night A2 » SEVERAL
Charges laid in connection with 2015 armed robbery By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca
The Estevan Police Service (EPS) has announced charges have been laid for an armed robbery that occurred at the Royal Heights Esso in 2015. In an interview with the Mercury on Nov. 1, EPS Deputy Chief Murray Cowan said the charges were laid following an investigation by the local police’s Criminal Investigations Unit (CIU). E v a n G a r r o w, a 27-year-old Estevan man, has been charged with armed robbery, committing an offence while his face was masked or covered, and theft of a motor vehicle worth more than $5,000, all under the Criminal Code of Canada. Garrow is also facing five further charges from offences that date back to this past spring, Cowan said. Four counts are for uttering death threats and one is for intimidating a court witness, all under the Criminal Code. The uttering threats
and intimidation charges are unrelated to the Royal Heights incident, Cowan said. “Extensive work has gone into these investigations by our CIU detectives,” said Cowan. “Although investigations can become dated, they often remain ongoing, and can result in these types of conclusions.” Cowan said these investigations, like the one for the armed robbery, can take a lengthy amount of time because the information or evidence might not be there initially to make an arrest or file charges. “A number of things can happen with these types of things,” said Cowan. “You can have forensic evidence that was obtained at the time, and sometimes there’s a delay in the process of getting that forensic evidence. It can be a situation where information doesn’t come forward until a couple years, or a year or so after an offence.” It’s not uncommon for the EPS to get information on offences that somebody
had, but didn’t share, because they didn’t believe the information was relevant, or they didn’t think it might help put the pieces of the puzzle together. “Once it comes together, and once we get that information, it can put those pieces of the puzzle together that I mentioned, and next thing you know, you can solve the offences,” said Cowan. For serious offences like this, the files will often remain open and the investigation will be ongoing. But because of the time lapsed for the case, the interest in the case from the public might fade over time. “From a police perspective, some cases can become dated, and historical,” said Cowan. The armed robbery occurred on Nov. 23, 2015, and was committed with a knife, Cowan said. Cash and cigarettes were taken. The stolen vehicle was later recovered. As for the uttering threats and intimidations charges, police were inves-
tigating them at the same time as the armed robbery. “Everything came together at the same time, which is why we announced everything at the same time,” said Cowan. The charges for threats and intimidation were filed on Sept. 15. The uttering threats charge came on Oct. 12. Garrow is currently in custody in Regina and was scheduled to appear in court in Weyburn on Nov. 7. Cowan noted that anyone with information regarding a serious offence, regardless of when it happened, is encouraged to call the Estevan Police Service at 306-634-4767 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477. There is no statute of limitations for serious incidents, Cowan said. “With serious offences, any information is good … and sometimes the smallest piece can put the puzzle together, so we like to get out – even though a lot of times it can involve a lot of work – to conduct these investigations,” said Cowan.

Ludwig concerned about CCS future Mayor Roy Ludwig said he was caught off guard by the possibility that SaskPower is leaning towards natural gas rather than carbon capture and storage (CCS) for future power production needs in the province. SaskPower president and CEO Mike Marsh discussed the potential future of CCS during an editorial board meeting with the CBC lask week. He suggested natural gas might be an option. Ludwig admits he was surprised by SaskPower’s statement. “Between the provincial government and the federal government, we’ve spent $1.5 billion on our first unit. It’s successful,” Ludwig said. Ludwig recognizes that natural gas might be a more affordable baseload power option now, due to current prices. But the mayor pointed out that natural gas rates can be volatile. “So I hope that SPC
(SaskPower Corporation) is not looking at moving everything to natural gas, and then when the price triples, we’ll really be held ransom,” said Ludwig. Ludwig believes it’s important to have many sources of power, including CCs, natural gas, wind and solar. He suggested wind and solar could be options for Estevan in the future, thanks to the strong winds and the hours of daylight Estevan experiences. He wishes SaskPower would have had proper discussion with the community before making this decision. The city has already spoken with Estevan MLA Lori Carr about the issue, and he wants a meeting with SaskPower Minister Dustin Duncan. He would like to see the Westmoreland Coal Company and its employees involved in the meetings. “We need to dialogue with our community, between the ministry and SPC

and we have to put a longterm plan in place, which may mean down the road, after we’re done with coal, then I would suggest that would be a 25 or 30-year window, that perhaps we can look at other alternatives.” Ludwig believes clean coal can keep coal included in power generation options well into the future. He hopes the Saskatchewan government won’t follow Ontario’s lead and phase out coal, which has contributed to soaring electricity rates in that province. Ludwig is a longtime employee at the local mines, and he said people at the mines remain cautiously optimistic about the future, despite last week’s statement. “We have other areas throughout the world looking at this technology,” Ludwig said. “Again, it’s proven successful. Is it competitive with natural gas right now? It’s more expensive, but again we
It appears SaskPower may be leaning towards natural gas instead of carbon capture for its future power production needs. File photo all know what can happen with natural gas, and what has happened in the past.” In a statement to the Mercury, Marsh said other factors, such as oil royalties and taxes, would need to be evaluated for any final recommendation that government would ultimately consider. To rule out CCS at this point is premature, he said.

The twinned lanes on Highway 39 east of Estevan will be open this year, according to Brandy Leippi, a communications consultant with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure. Leippi stated last week that the ministry
hoped the twinned portion of highway would be completed this year and open to traffic. It was believed some asphalt work still needed to be completed, and for that to happen, the temperature would need to be 5 C for several days to finish the asphalt. Now the ministry says

Lions Club convention features prominent speakers and honours local woman
By William Acri wacri@estevanmercury.ca
Over 200 people attended the Lions Club district 5SKS fall convention over the weekend. This convention touched on many issues the Lions Clubs deals with while also honouring local women Nancy Brodeur for her contribution to Lions International. Brodeur, who has been a Lion for five years, won a Certificate of Appreciation from Lions International. Brodeur and her club have contributed greatly to the Estevan local community through the CNIB golf tournament, Rusty Duce Memorial Park, disc golf course and many other similar community contributions possible though their hard work. “ I have always been a volunteer and I thought that the Lions Club was an international organization and I felt that it was probably a good fit for me and
so far it has been an awesome fit, our group is small but we are a mighty group of volunteers that love to help out the community,” said Brodeur. Although Brodeur has done a lot in the past nothing big at the moment is planned for the future. “We haven’t got any big projects in the future yet but we also look at donating between $15,000 and $20,000 every year which is our goal to allow us to donate to any organization that we feel needs it,” said Brodeur. The speakers at the event were Sixties Scoop survivor Dr. Jacqueline Maurice, past international director Roderick Wright, Tornado Hunter Chris Chittick and finally a guide dog presentation. A notable speaker included past international director Roderick Wright. Wright who was visiting from New Brunswick gave a long and impassioned speech about the purpose
of Lions International and his experiences being a Lion. “Where there is a need there is a Lion,” said Wright. “Our theme is we serve, we talked about the passions of Lions and its all about service, I became a Lion to serve and to give back to my community,” said Wright. The district 5SKS fall Lions convention ran over the weekend from 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Saturday and from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. Sunday. The entire event was operated out of the Western Star Hotel. Lions International has been around since 1917 and the various Lion Clubs around the world take part in helping out the communities that the clubs are located in. The first Lions Club in Canada was built in 1920, in Windson, Ont. Lions International currently has 1,369,640 members with Lions Clubs around the globe.

Survivor shares memories of ‘60s Scoop One of the speakers at the Lions International District 5SKS convention, hosted by the Estevan Lions Club at the Western Star Hotel this past weekend, was a survivor of the ‘60s Scoop. Dr. Jacqueline Maurice, a Métis woman who was born in Meadow Lake, said she wants to advocate for First Nations and Métis people, and bring awareness to the controversial period in Canadian history. Maurice is a social worker and the author of The Lost Children: A Nation’s Shame. “More importantly, I want to bring awareness to the impacts,” Maurice said in an interview with the Mercury. Not only was there the ‘60s Scoop in which young Indigenous people were taken from their homes and placed in foster homes and up for adoption, but Saskatchewan also had the Adopt Indian and Métis (AIM) program from the late 1960s until the mid1980s. Nearly 2,000 children were either adopted or put in and out of foster care through AIM. “I was never registered for adoption, even
though it says Adopt Indian and Métis program,” said Maurice. “So in my particular case, I remained in and out of short-term and long-term foster homes right up until the age of 14, with various traumas and losses, and various different cultural losses as well.” Maurice estimates there were 25,000 children across the country who were part of the ‘60s Scoop. Sharing her story isn’t difficult, she said, and she did her PhD on historical child welfare. She has seen a growing awareness of the ‘60s Scoop across Canada in recent years. Maurice believes Métis people should be included in compensation for the ‘60s Scoop. When federal Crown-Indigenous Relations Minister Carolyn Bennett announced support for survivors, the Métis weren’t included. “There are thousands of us, Métis and non-status (Indigenous people) were not included as a part of that settlement, because it’s hard to prove who is who,” she said. Many Métis people

Photo by William Acri grew up in foster care, and experiencing exclusion again through the compensation package is difficult for them. “To me, it’s still important to go forward and to continue to give a voice
to this era,” said Maurice. There are intergenerational impacts of the 60s Scoop, she said, which has resulted in what she called a millennium scoop. “We still have a high percentage of Indigenous
children going into the care of the system,” she said. “So this isn’t just taking a look back and lamenting about the past, this is about saying how can we learn and how can we break this systemic
cycle of children being continuously in care.” Maurice is hopeful Métis people will one day be included in compensation for the ‘60s Scoop. She vowed to keep advocating for them.

A billion-dollar standalone? It was a statement that created all sorts of fear for local residents last week. SaskPower president and CEO Mike Marsh, in a meeting with the CBC, reportedly claimed it was “highly unlikely” that the Crown corporation would look at retrofitting Units 4 and 5 at the Boundary Dam Power Station with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. Instead, it appears SaskPower will be recommending natural gas for the future of baseload power production. When SaskPower ventured down the CCS path and retrofitted Unit 3 at the Boundary Dam Power Station, there was never a guarantee that it would extend CCS to Units 4, 5 and 6 at Boundary Dam, the Shand Power Station or the Poplar River Power Station near Coronach. But many expected that the common sense decision would be to proceed with CCS for Units 4 and 5 at Boundary Dam, and eventually Unit 6 as well. (For what it’s worth, Unit 6 is the most powerful coal-fired unit in the province). After all, why would the government shell out well over a billion dollars to ret-

The Halloween tax lesson Katrina and her friend walked in the door from trick or treating, gleefully spilling their very full pillowcases on the floor to peruse their hard-won spoils. For a little fun, I figured this would be a good time for a lesson on life. All kids know about the “parent tax” when it comes to trick or treat loot. So I reached over into her pile and grabbed a handful of candy. “This is personal income tax,” I said. Reaching in for another handful, I commented, “This is GST.” Groping one more time, as her eyes started looking alarmed, I said, “And this is PST.” One more handful. “This is property tax.” I notice glowering from the girl. Then I grabbed my hardhat and scooped up even more. “And this is Trudeau’s carbon tax!” Being a nice dad, she got a generous rebate. I realized later that I should have taken three Snickers bars for small business tax, since she does invoice me when she helps
rofit one unit at Boundary Dam if it wasn’t going to do some, or preferably all, of the remaining units? The provincial government has also spent a lot of money promoting the CCS project, and has welcomed hundreds of delegates from around the world to tour the facility. Those visitors have given the CCS project rave reviews. While conventional or compliant coal technology is nearing its end in Canadian power generation, CCS is an option for keeping coal in the power production mix. It’s in our best interest to have coal in the mix, because it’s a low-cost and cost-consistent source. We just need a way to make it more environmentally friendly. Compare that with natural gas, which can be volatile. Natural gas prices are currently low, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be low in five or 10 years. Put too much emphasis on natural gas, and Saskatchewan residents will be susceptible to price fluctuations. The price associated with CCS might not have declined like the provincial government had hoped, but it’s still the best bet
for Saskatchewan’s baseload power needs moving forward. While Marsh’s comments should be alarming for local residents, there are a few things that should be noted. Marsh seemed to later backtrack, claiming a decision has yet to be made. He also touted the accomplishments for the CCS facility, such as capturing more than 1.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide since the facility opened in 2014. The provincial government could also decide to forge ahead with retrofitting Units 4 and 5, even if SaskPower does believe natural gas is the better option. But that scenario would be unlikely. Finally, it should be noted that SaskPower has not made a decision about Unit 6 at Boundary Dam, or the Shand Power Station. There’s still a lot that could happen before the government determines what will be in their future. The possibility of not retrofitting Units 4 and 5 doesn’t necessarily mean the demise of CCS, Boundary Dam or coal-fired generation in SaskPower. But it is troubling on multiple levels that Units 4 and 5 might be nearing their end.
with my photography, thus is a business person. Therefore I should take two pop cans for capital gains, because, really, no one deserves that many full .355-millilitre pop cans. The third pop can – well that’s high income surtax, because so many pop cans surely make her a one-percenter. She can’t share with her brother, because that would be income sprinkling. Half of the Doritos are taxable as capital gains, obviously, since she exceeded her lifetime exemption last year, and she neglected to store any bags of tacos under her bed as part of her tax-free savings account. Now, if she was smart, she would put away some 18 per cent of her candies, i.e. all the potato chips, for when she turns 65. That, of course, would be exempt. But I will have to tax the then 52-year-old potato chips, assuming I’m still alive at the age of 95. Hopefully her potato chip nest egg grows at a an interest rate higher than the rate of inflation. A small KitKat? That’s federal excise tax on gasoline for rides to air cadets. The small Coffee Crisp? Provincial excise tax on gasoline, naturally. The Jujubes package is municipal surcharge tax on the power bill for her bedroom. A while ago she had asked if she could move to a downstairs bedroom. If I let her, she’d have to pay a land transfer tax of 0.30 per cent of the value of the property’s value. That’s a large Mars bar, thank you. And since, for her, this is really temporary accommodations until she’s 18, there should be a hotel tax (one Swedish Berries) and entertainment tax for use of the TV and Netflix (one small Smarties box). I told her 25 per cent of her haul was going to kids who didn’t feel like going trick or treating. Her response was, “It’s not my fault they’re too fat and lazy to go walk outside.”
She’s probably lucky she doesn’t live in Norway, where she might have been lucky to walk away with three Tootsie Rolls. Katrina continues to ask me about career choices. The other day she asked me if an accountant spends their day counting money. I replied that no, actually, most of an accountant’s job is figuring out ways for their clients to pay less tax. That might have more meaning for her now. Maybe she can hire her friend to be her accountant. The professional fees will be two Twizzlers and an Aero bar. That accountant friend will point out she should be looking for every single exemption she can find. For instance, she can claim half of her meal of a Mr. Big bar as a deduction, as long as she is doing legitimate business. Under either the simplified or detailed method, she could claim one meal after every four hours from the departure time, to a maximum of three meals per day. And since her temporary accommodations (bedroom) could count as a home-based business, she should be able to write off the power for her room, heating and insurance – but only for that percentage of square footage used for actual business. If she leased her bicycle, there could be a savings there too, if she didn’t want to do cost capital allowance depreciation. Doing these deductions could reduce her tax bill a bit. I’m guessing that for all her effort, she might save herself five suckers. She will, of course, be allowed to keep her Sour Patch Kids, for the sour taste left in her mouth in the end.

Trobert taken aback by award Corey Atkinson New Material Only
It ought not have surprised anyone else in the room Saturday at the Beefeater Plaza when Lynn Trobert was given the Clint Prette Memorial Award for her contributions over the years to the Estevan Motor Speedway (EMS), but it really touched Trobert to the point of breaking into tears. She was given the award by EMS board member Gregg Mann and moments later as members of the media approached her to speak was still needing to work the door and organize a few other details with the banquet. A volunteer’s work is never done. How it started is how a lot of commitments like this start: a need for a specific person for a specific organization. “I got a phone call about 16 years ago because they needed some help at the track,” she said. “I went out. The first time I parked cars because it was huge then.” After doing that for a few months, she worked at the ticket gate and did that for a year and a half. From there, she took on whatever role they asked her to. “I ended up working at the money end of that for them,” she said, alluding to her times as the treasurer of the EMS. Trobert was later president for a couple of years. She’s been on and off the board for a few years and now just continues to volunteer because, in her words, ‘I just love it.” Some people in some communities toot their own horns about their volunteer and community work but Trobert isn’t one of those people. Some are happy to work in a prominent role while somehow trying to maintain a level of anonymity for the good of the community. Over the years of volunteering and working for the EMS, she is quick to deflect any personal credit towards those she works with. “I look around this room and there are so many people in this room that are deserving of this award,” said Trobert, saying she can’t do what she does without help. “I’ve named some of them ... they all deserve an award.” But since one can’t give an entire volunteer table an award, Trobert had to accept it, even though she started shaking as she got it and listed off the people who helped her. “It’s an honour. It really and truly is,” she said. “It sounds corny but really it’s not. People in this room are considered family. I can call so many of them on a moment’s notice and they’ll be there to help me and that’s what I appreciate. We have such a close knit group.” Trobert was also part of the United Way’s successful 2017 campaign that saw them hit more than their target and has been involved for over two decades. People often don’t quite realize the strength of the volunteer corps that we have here in Estevan and how many of them are irreplaceable. Many board members on many different boards will burn out if they were to try to accomplish half of what people like Trobert are constantly doing. It’s always a good thing to realize what we have when it comes to the people that make the community tick. The people who give freely of their time and don’t act like the world owes them a favour. Having only talked to her a couple of times, I can tell that people like Trobert are true treasures in the community.
Monument a beautiful tribute to 21 airmen The editor: At the Estevan Regional Airport, there is a monument that has been created by Darren Jones. He is the same artist and carver who created the Estevan Soldiers’ Tree monument. This newest monument is called Forever in the Clouds. In
both cases, he has done an amazing job. This newest monument was carved into a 500-year-old Douglas fir tree to honour the 21 airmen who died on Sept. 15, 1946, in a plane crash at the old Estevan Airport, which was used as a military base.
These men flew many hundreds of missions in the Second World War against the Germans and the Japanese. They never had the chance to return to their families after their service to our country. On Nov. 11, please go to the airport and have a look at the monument that
features the carved faces of 17 of the 21 airmen. Four of the faces are still needed. A permanent home is still being sought for this monument in Estevan, where they served and died. Lester Hinzman Estevan
Council passes first reading of massage bylaw on Monday Estevan city council gave first reading to a bylaw that will govern massage and body rub parlours during council’s meeting on Monday night. The bylaw outlines the requirements for massage parlours and their employees. It also stipulates what is allowed inside a parlour, and reasons a parlour licence could be suspended. Police Chief Paul Ladouceur said the EPS has consulted with the businesses in the community, and they haven’t expressed any concern. “There is no issue with them operating, as long as they are operating legally within the city, and that means they’re not doing it with the sale of sexual services,” he said. Some massage parlours have a tendency to become involved with criminal activity, he said, including sexual conduct
and human trafficking. He stressed that’s not necessarily the case in Estevan, but this bylaw gives police a tool. Coun. Dennis Moore wanted to know if the bylaw has restrictions on parlour proximity to schools and parks, and to each other. New parlours can’t be within a kilometre of a school or existing parlours, but existing parlours will be grandfathered in. Moore also wanted to know if the police would carry out inspections. “Obviously we do random inspections, like we do with other properties,” said Ladouceur. “We do random inspections with licenced establishments when it comes to alcohol within the city. I would suspect we would have a similar approach with inspections when it comes to body rub parlours within the city.”
Massage businesses that come to the community have to be operated within a lawful fashion, he said. “If you’re operating a lawful business, then nobody should have a problem with any of the caveats of this bylaw,” he said. Ladouceur noted the bylaw was developed in conjunction with the Estevan board of police commissioners, who backed the document. Mayor Roy Ludwig said some communities have experienced problems with illegal activities in massage parlours, and council decided to adopt a bylaw in case issues arise. “We modelled our bylaw somewhat along Regina’s, and made it more applicable to our city,” said Ludwig. A person who is convicted of an offence could face a fine of up to $10,000,
and/or up to a year in prison. Further violations within a 12-month period would result in harsher penalties. Second and third readings will be needed for the bylaw to receive final approval. *** Council received the building permit report for October during the meeting. Three permits worth $40,375 were issued last month, bringing the totals for the year to 52 permits worth a little more than $5 million. Two of the permits last month were garages worth $32,500. The other permit was for $8,000 and was classified as miscellaneous. Last year there were also three permits issued in October, and the value was $90,615. Forty-six permits worth more than $8.8 million were issued in the first 10 months of 2016.
City part of SaskAlert system The City of Estevan now has another option for notifying the public in the event of a disaster or another emergency. The City of Estevan is now a part of SaskAlert, which is the provincial government’s emergency alert system. Not only would it cover such occurrences as a winter storm or a flood, but it would also notify the public if there
BEFORE
is an issue such as a boil water advisory. Currently the alerts are only relayed through broadcast media. “With technology, everyone now has a cell phone,” said Helen Fornwald, the safety manager for the City of Estevan and the head of the local emergency planning committee. “We’re really excited,
along with Emergency Management, Fire and Safety, that Sask. Alert now will be able to have an app, and anybody can download it.” It’s not only great for those who reside in the city, it will also be useful for those who are passing through the community, as long as they have that app on their phone. “They will be able to
pick up the alert coming through, and they will be fully aware of what is happening in Estevan,” said Fornwald. Other communities in the province are already signed up with SaskAlert for notifications through apps. This new system is a quicker way to reach a wider variety of people, she said.

X-Treme Towing has new owners By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca
A local tow truck company has some new owners. X-Treme Towing has been purchased by Jeremy Swanson, Jared Story and Christa Morhart and their respective spouses. The towing company will be part of their new JS Truck Mart business. The purchase was effective Nov. 1. Swanson said they like helping people, so purchasing the towing company made sense. The new owners have had a busy start since purchasing the business. The southeast region received its first accumulation of snow of the winter the same day the sale took effect. More snow fell a couple of days later. So they have received a lot of calls from people who have been stuck in a ditch or involved in an accident. “There have been lots of lockouts and lots of battery boosts,” said Swanson. They recognize the tow truck service is an important one to offer the community. People need to know that if their vehicle needs to be towed, or if
it requires roadside assistance, they have someone to call. “The alternative would be Weyburn, or someone coming from quite a ways,” Swanson said. Story said X-Treme Towing would maintain the same services as before, and will have some new ones. The company will be able to serve customers who run into problems in the U.S. and need their vehicle brought back to Canada. Story said it also goes hand-in-hand with the services offered by JS Truck Mart. It cuts down on the they would have had bringing vehicles to their building on the Highway 39 east service road, next to Rocket Sales and Rental. “We’re going to be trucks all over southeast Saskatchewan, and have to get them hauled into us anyways, so it seemed to make sense,” said Story. They would have to pick up anything they purchase, and owning the tow truck, will save them money. “It still costs money to go get it, but it’s less,” said Swanson. JS Truck Mart has new
and used parts and engines for light-duty and heavyduty trucks. “We can even source equipment, such as engines and things of that nature, too,” said Swanson. Morhart believes there isn’t a business in Estevan that would provide service to that degree. Swanson added there would be some that would have some of those elements, but not a one-stop shop. “Right now we’re just really concentrating on buying some inventory,” said Swanson. “We’re looking to buy wrecked or salvaged units. We’re trying to reorganize the towing end of Extreme Towing, and building inventory.” X-Treme Towing is looking for a tow truck driver with a Class 1A licence and a clean abstract. The previous tow truck driver for X-Treme Towing will remain with the company, they said, and another person will be starting in the office later this month to help with inventory, parts and answering phones. Both X-Treme Towing and JS Truck Mart will be operating out of their home on the Highway 39 east service road.
Jared Story, Jeremy Swanson and Christa Morhart are the new owners of X-Treme Towing in Estevan.
Tire season hits mechanic shops all over the Estevan area By William Acri wacri@estevanmercury.ca
Winter tire season has taken hold of many automotive shops across the Estevan area. Wade Cox,
the service manager for Canadian Tire, has noticed this year that people are waiting to the last minute to get their tires changed over. “The problem is now the influx of phone calls,
since it snowed we are probably booking a week and a half down the road for tire installations,” said Cox. For many shops and mechanics the first snowfall of the year is good and
bad. Bad because of the stress resulting from being overbooked and backlogged, and good because having steady work for a few weeks always means more money for Christmas
celebrations and presents for family members and loved ones. More money for some means less money for others. A lot of newer passenger cars are coming
standard with expensive low profile tires. Waiting until the last minute to get your winter tires put on is not good but waiting to get in an accident before you buy winter tires is worse.

Marijuana trafficking nets 15 month conditional sentence order for Hochstein By Brian Zinchuk brian.zinchuk@sasktel.net
Marijuana legalization may be coming next summer, but trafficking in the drug can still land you in incarceration today. That’s what happened with Jordan Hochstein, 22, of Estevan. He was sentenced to a 15-month conditional sentence order (CSO) on Nov. 6 for trafficking in marijuana. That means he won’t be in jail, but will be on a 24-hour curfew except for times when he is at work, at least for the first portion of the term. The 15-month CSO is the longest of several sentences, to be served concurrently, including one month for the possession of proceeds and another six-month CSO for possession of marijuana. He got a four-month CSO on breaching probation.
Jordan Hochstein Hochstein also netted a sixmonth suspended sentence from an assault charge on
Feb. 28, where he hit an ex-girlfriend several times in the face while at an Este-
van house party where they had both been drinking. Federal Crown prosecutor Eric Neufeld explained to Judge Lane Wiegers that the trafficking charges stem from Estevan police initializing a surveillance program on Feb. 7, 2017. They noted that several people under 25 years old came to his residence, often entering and exiting in under five minutes. He was taken into custody the next day, and a search found 37 grams of marijuana, six grams of “shatter” cannabis, a small quantity of hash and onetenth of a gram of cocaine. There was five grams of a white powder police believed was meant as a cutting agent. They also found some American money, a digital scale, sales records,
resealable plastic bags and a cell phone. The bedside stand tested positive for cocaine. Hochstein admitted to trafficking marijuana. He was not employed at the time. Defence attorney Joelle Graham noted Hochstein has a three-year-old child, and works in the concrete business. The assault was against a former girlfriend, but not the mother of his child. The Crown and defence presented Wiegers with a joint submission that saw a few charges stayed. The sentence would also allow him to maintain employment. In imposing sentence, Wiegers noted he found the joint submission reasonable. In addition to the conditional sentence order,
he said Hochstein could not travel further than 250 kilometres. He must put in 100 hours of community service. Other than for work purposes during business hours, he cannot possess a cellphone, tablet, laptop or other electronic device of that variety, and he must submit his detailed cellphone records to police for their purview. He must also submit to searches as required. The sentence also imposed a 10-year firearms prohibition. Hochstein must take alcohol, drugs and anger management programming if so ordered. He must also have no contact with the victim in the assault case. Hochstein will have six months to pay the $900 victim surcharge imposed as part of the sentence.

Work continues on tributes at veteran’s park One of the centerpiece components for the Royal Heights Veterans’ Memorial Park is getting closer to completion. A Wall of Honour will include the names of people from the Estevan area who served in the First World War and the Second World War. It will compliment the cenotaph that is located in central Estevan, which has the names of those who perished in the two world wars and the Korean War. The wall has been a long-standing project of legion president Lyle Dukart, who started working on it nearly a decade ago. “I’m doing the final check right now to verify all of the names,” said Dukart. “Once I verify these names, I think it’s going to be a go. This is the third or the fourth time checking the names, so I’m hoping everything is
correct this time.” He hopes the names will be mounted this fall, but that’s not a guarantee because of the weather. Once they’re printed and ready, Dynamic Signs will place the names on the wall. Close to 1,000 names will be on the honour wall. Dukart said the project has taken longer than he had hoped. First he had to dedicate a lot of time to find all of the names of local residents who served during the wars, and verify the information is accurate. In the last couple of years, he has spent a lot of time double-checking the names, and adding the names of those they missed. “We’ve missed a few, gone back and added quite a few, and so on and so forth,” said Dukart. “It slowed down when we started doublechecking, and names were
still coming in.” Family members would come to the legion to tell them their parents served and should be part of the wall. He’s confident the Wall of Honour is as accurate as possible. “It doesn’t matter how much you do, you’re going to miss somebody,” said Dukart. There is enough room on the wall to add the names of those the legion missed, as well as those who served in peace time missions and such conflicts as Afghanistan, if someone wants to take that on in the future. Dukart suspects it might be easier to research the names of those who served in recent conflicts, thanks to the Internet and other resources. “For World War I, it was search through archives, your history books. We went through archives in Regina.
The Royal Heights Veterans’ Memorial Park will have a couple of tributes to people from Estevan who served their country through the Canadian Forces. It took a lot of hunting to find World War I, because the records here weren’t that great. I’m hoping that I have most of them.” The other big project in the park will involve the gazebo. Legion past-presi-
dent Tory LeBlanc hopes the concrete of the gazebo can be etched this spring. Then murals will be added in the spring. LeBlanc hopes to have students from the Estevan Comprehensive School in-
volved with the project. Dukart noted the legion has had a good relationship with the City of Estevan’s parks department for the park, and parks manager Rod March has been excellent to work with.

There is a lot to remember In 1943 my uncle and a few other lucky Royal Canadian Air Foce members who were apart of 405 Squadron got to crew the The Ruhr Express. This plane was the first Lancaster bomber to roll off the assembly line in Malton, Ont. at the Victory Aircraft plant in 1943. My uncle volunteered for the war in September 1939; he served 30 operations with the RCAF aboard Halifax Bombers and he was a rear gunner aboard two Lancasters. He had dreams of flying but during his training with the RCAF he crashed his De Havilland Gipsy Moth training aircraft and was not allowed to be a pilot. In 1944 he was shot down over Germany while on a bombing run. His plane was hit by flak and it came apart in the air and hit the ground in a heap of burning rubber and metal. He was my grandmother’s brother.
I remember as a kid my grandmother showed me all the letters he wrote back home. His personal belongings were unobtainable because his body wasn’t found until after the war. Had he made it to the end the war he likely would of ended up working at my grandfather’s construction company called L.P. Acri. I imagine the worst part about going down in a plane contorted and damaged from enemy fire is that at some point everyone realizes that their great machine that once ruled the skies and protected them is past its ability to land safely on the ground. Bailing out while under fire from flak isn’t a great idea either. My uncle was of course part of Bomber Command. During the war a few planes from the Luftwaffe got lost at night over England. They dropped
their bombs in hopes of hitting a strategic target, instead they bombed houses and schools. This started bombing campaigns on both sides that resulted in higher civilRand’s ian casualties. The bombing of Dresden, in Germany in 1945 is a raid that will remain controversial for the rest of time. The targeting systems on Second World War planes were historically documented as being inaccurate. Bombers were pushed into night bombing runs to avoid contact with enemy fighters and to avoid being seen at all. Between the constraints of the technology on those planes and the way in which they were used at night it was only a mat-
ter of time before something would go wrong somewhere. Or maybe, it was only a matter of time before Adolf Hitler would order the destruction of the homes and Atlas schools of those who worked in the factories that fuelled the Allied war machine. In Canada today, at least in my experience young people in certain post-secondary courses are being asked to question whether or not Bomber Command committed war crimes against the German people. Even though I never knew my uncle and I may never have known him even if he did survive the war, I still feel like I lost something, maybe a few extra cousins at Christmas

Remembrance Day and always. Thank you.
or maybe a few extra family members. On this topic I don’t fall folly to emotions and tears and demand that someone apologize to me for even suggesting that Bomber Command committed war crimes. On Remembrance Day I remember my uncle for the sacrifice he made to allow the continuation of the freedoms we as Canadians enjoy today. What I don’t forget when it comes to questions of war crimes committed by Bomber Command, is where the onus falls historically on those who started the war in the first place. The Weimar Republic, otherwise known as Germany between 1918 and 1933, was a time of great upheaval, anger, fear and borderline anarchy. Germany in that era was ripe for a dictator to gain power by promising peace and
employment in exchange for liberty. The short bitter truth is the majority of the German people adopted a political philosophy of racism based in a morality that makes heroes of those who enslave others for the common good as defined by the ruling political party. I detest the notion that people are willing to call those from Bomber Command war criminals and I also detest the notion that people are willing to call them heroes. The people who decide this are the people who fought with Bomber Command. Although the times for the German people during the Weimar Republic were horrible a majority of them let Hitler and his code of morality rule them and that, and my uncle, is what I remember on Remembrance Day.

Community support remains strong for legion By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca
Three months ago, the Royal Canadian Legion’s Estevan branch went before Estevan city council, and in turn, the community, seeking donations and other support for its financial issues. And while the legion is not out of the woods yet, the organization is in much better shape than it was three months ago. Danielle Evenson, the legion’s ways and means director, who appeared before council alongside treasurer Leonard Grube, said the legion is “humbled and overwhelmed” by the response from the community. The legion has received between $20,000 and $25,000 in support.
out a way we can thank them properly, because the community has really stepped forward to support us.” The backlog of bills, the large outstanding bills and other debts have been paid, she said. The legion has other bills to be paid, including tax arrears with provincial sales tax and the goods and services tax that have to be set straight. “Our need for the support is still there, but I think we could use it in memberships and bodies now as opposed to dollars,” said Evenson. “We know there is work ahead. We know that we have to be vigilant, that we need to keep our bills current, and not let ourselves use credit and get drawn back into the black hole of debt.”
“We’ve had companies come to us with very generous donations, and we’re trying to figure out a way we can thank them properly, because the community has really stepped forward to support us.” Danielle Evenson “We’ve had people walking in the door at the office with $25 or $50,” said Evenson. “We’ve had companies come to us with very generous donations, and we’re trying to figure

And she looks forward to when the legion can start giving back to the community. “As a small group of volunteers doing a hard work, we’re thinking ‘Is it worth it? Does anybody even care anymore?’ And we’ve received the message loud and clear, that there is clear support and we have
value, and have had added value in the past,” said Evenson. Evenson said the legion looks forward to being an organization that gives back to the cadets, to the hospital, to veterans-related causes and to the homeless. The legion has been very busy since Thanksgiving. It hosted the provincial convention for the first time the weekend after Thanksgiving. Then there was an antiques trade show the following

fessional Baseball League that operated during and after the Second World War. Evenson said dinner will be served before the show. It’s the latest fundraiser for the legion. Previous events have been well-supported with sold out crowds of around 200 people, she said. The legion is now in the midst of its annual poppy campaign before Remembrance Day. Local businesses and other organizations have poppy trays so that people can purchase their poppies. But the money from the poppy campaign can’t be directed to the legion’s operations or pay down its debt. “We have very strict guidelines of keeping that money in trust, and having to respond to our chain of command through provincial command and dominion command,” said Evenson. There are some great programs in the province that benefit veterans, not only those who served years ago, but those who were part of more recent operations. Paws for Veterans partners veterans with service dogs, and Evenson said there are other initiatives who help those with post-traumatic stress disorder.

She hopes people won’t forget the legion now that it is emerging from debt. Its buildings can be used for renting banquets or socials, and the legion would like to attract new members. “We know we have to reintroduce the idea of active memberships, as opposed to ‘I come in and I pay my dues every year, because grandpa was in the war,’” said Evenson. People are welcome to drop by the branch office and ask questions. Those who purchase or renew memberships this year pay $45; it will increase to $50 on Jan. 1. A truck raffle, which is through a partnership with Murray GM, is ongoing. Ticket sales have been supported, and the legion hopes to sell more tickets before the draw date on Dec. 1. The legion is also hosting a performance of Diamond Girls, written by Lampman’s Maureen Ulrich, on Nov. 19. It’s a one-woman show starring Amanda Trapp about the All-American Girls Pro-
Legion will host the annual pre-Remembrance Day poppy tea on Nov. 10, starting at 3 p.m. The poppy tea is traditionally held on the Sunday before Remembrance Day, but the legion moved it to the day before Remembrance Day due to the provincial square and round dance convention that was at the legion from Nov. 3 to 5. Legion volunteers will serve tea, coffee and snacks to the public during the event. The legion’s annual Remembrance Day service will be the following day at the Estevan Comprehensive School’s cafetorium at 10:45 a.m. A service at the cenotaph will follow in the school’s courtyard.

Bruins win a pair of shootouts on home ice
By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca
Never let it be said that this year’s edition of the Power Dodge Estevan Bruins lacks a flair for the dramatic. The team won a pair of shootouts in Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League action as they adjust to life with a pair of new players. They defeated the Notre Dame Hounds 6-5 last Wednesday and the Nipawin Hawks 3-2 Sunday. “Through my life, I’ve always done the same thing or I tried to,” said Bruins forward Kaelan Holt, who scored goals in regulation in both games and the shootout winner Sunday. “I kind of tried to come in and fake out the goalie and get an open seam. I found it that time and it happened to be the winner, which was nice but I think we played a complete game. It was a team win so it was awesome.” Goaltender Matt Lukacs stopped 35 of 37 shots from the Hawks in the Bruins net and played a solid game. “I thought we got better and better as the night went on,” said Bruins head coach and general man-

advantage of a road weary team. Holt and Zach Goberis, who was just named SJHL player of the month for October, scored for the Bruins in the second period. Wednesday, the Bruins had to come from behind after surrendering a few goals early. Holt’s goal at 13:37 of the third gave the Bruins the lead but Notre Dame tied it a few minutes later to send it to overtime. Regulation goals were scored by Holt, Goberis, Arthur Miller, and Jake Fletcher with a pair. No player scored in the shootout until fourth Bruin shooter Fletcher. Maxim Sidelnik stopped 30 of 35 shots in regulation in the Estevan net. “We were a little sloppy but we still pulled out a win,” Holt said. “It’s good going into our road swing.” The Bruins go on a lengthy road trip through the Sherwood Division, playing in Melfort Wednesday, Flin Flon Thursday, La Ronge Saturday and Nipawin Sunday. The team will be working in the new players as they take to the road for the first time since the acquisitions of Miller and Austin King-Cunningham. “The boys welcomed me really good. It’s a great room in there,” said Miller. “It’s really easy getting along with everybody and everything’s going good.”
Miller was teammates with several of these players in midget AAA with the Regina Pat Canadians, which is a helpful thing for a new player in a new team. “Having (Jake Heerspink) here, he’s my good buddy having played PatC’s with him, all the guys in there are all welcoming. They’re all good people,” Miller said. “With good guys in the room everything’s going to go good.” The Bruins are currently in second place in the Viterra Division, only a point behind Weyburn. “We’ve got to find ways to win games up north here in the next few weeks,” said Lewgood. “It’s nice to get that confidence going on the trips.” As for their new defenceman, King-Cunningham, 17, started the season with the Vancouver Giants before coming to the Bruins. The Pilot Butte product was held pointless in four games. King-Cunningham is 6’1”, 195 pounds, and scored three goals and eight assists for 11 points last season with the Battlefords Stars of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League. Most notable in his numbers last season was his 161 penalty minutes in the 33 games. Thusfar in his Bruin career, King-Cunningham has one minor penalty in two games.

EMS racers celebrate successful 2017 season By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca
During the summer, drivers and their pit crews at the Estevan Motor Speedway sweated for points and a picture with a trophy. Saturday night, it was all about the trophies and the stories. The drivers and top runners up accepted their trophies for the year at their 18 th annual awards banquet at the Beefeater Plaza. “Overall it was just a really good year,” said Zach Lutz of Burlington, N.D., who won the hobby stocks. “Three features wins, you can’t complain. It was a really good year. I enjoyed it.” Lutz, who won the stocks by 11 points over Lampman’s Landon Runge, is planning on returning next year to the track even though he’ll be going to school at North Dakota State University. “I’m going to stay in the hobby stock and I might stay in the sport mods a few times. Once I’m out of school, I’ll probably jump up to a stock car.” Gregg Mann of Es-
tevan won the stock car competition over fellow Estevanian Austin Daae by a mere seven points. “It’s always a good achievement to come out on top,” Mann said. “You work hard all season to put a championship at the end of it. That’s something to be proud of.” Mann, his uncles Richard and Bill and his father Geoff have been racing for a long time. “I was five when they had the old racetrack here in Estevan,” Mann said. “Richard kept going with it ... and then my brother and cousin went down to Minot because we didn’t have a track here then. Then it wasn’t until they started bringing out rumours of having a track here that I really knew I was going to get into racing... “I was 19 years old, we built a car and I’ve been doing it ever since.” He took a couple of years off for school but racing has been an ‘addiction’ for him. Also, Joey Galloway of Manor won the IMCA modifieds season title by nine points over Riley Emmel, while Jesse Gibson won the season slingshots

The rookie of the year trophy was won by Cash Saxon in the slingshots, Devon Gonas in the hobby stocks and Troy Threinen in the street stocks. Ken Murray won the volunteer of the year award and the Clint Prette Memorial Award was given to Lynn Trobert. Both have been dedicated volunteers for the speedway over the years.

Apex Bruins play much better in win over Rangers By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca
What do you do when your winning streak gets stopped? If you’re the Apex Bruins you immediately try to start another one. The Bruins lost 6-2 at home Saturday to the Regina Rangers but came back with a flourish in a 5-1 win over the Rangers Sunday in South Saskatchewan Midget AA Hockey League action. “I think overall our effort was a lot better,” said Bruins head coach Robin Ulrich. “Our compete level wasn’t very high (Saturday) night and (Sunday) night, the boys answered the call and brought the compete level.” Ulrich said specialty teams were a lot better Sunday through the adjustments they made, and those led to a pair of power
play goals early for Estevan. “It makes a big difference, and we stayed out of the penalty box,” Ulrich said. The Bruins got goals from Josh Romanyk, Dawson Schaff, Terran Holzer, Cale Adams and affiliate call-up Kieran Stewart from the bantam AA TS&M Bruins. Daymon Wanner had a pair of assists as the depth on the team is starting to show. “It’s nice when you get a balanced scoring attack and we have that capability,” said Ulrich. “The ability tonight to stay out of the box gave us a chance to get some flow in the game and to play a little bit of five-on-five and get everyone engaged.” Logan Nagel took the win with a 27-save performance Sunday one day after Ulrich said they left goaltender Bryson Garton
Apex Bruins forward Zach Ashworth races a Regina Rangers player for the puck Sunday at Affinity Place. “out to dry”. “Every shot they had was a high quality scoring shot,” said Ulrich. “He made some outstanding saves. That game could have been 10-2. “Nagel made some
fantastic saves at key points tonight so he played really well today.” Saturday, the Bruins got their goals from Dalton Schrader and Jaiden Gervais (shorthanded). Garton was credited with 18 saves.
“We were just way more disciplined (Sunday) and taking way less penalties,” Holzer said. “Special teams were way better (Sunday) all around. “If we want to win hockey games we’re going
to have to perform in all areas of the game.” The Bruins have the weekend off of game action but resume league play Nov. 18-19 in a home and home with the Notre Dame Argos.
Power Tech Bear Cats crush Notre Dame By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca
The midget AA Power Tech Bear Cats kept on the attack Friday and as a result had a great game against the Notre Dame Hounds. The Bear Cats won 5-1 in South Saskatchewan Female Hockey League action Friday at Affinity Place, one of two games on the weekend. “We’re starting to play a little bit quicker,” said Bear Cats head coach Trevor Morrison. “We had a couple of very good practices (last) week and we’re starting to use some of the systems we’ve got put in place. We were having trouble in the third period and then sometimes in the game, but I think it’s a lot to do with new girls and not wanting to make mistakes.” Morrison said the Bear
Cats had good practices and a good tempo and he’s “looking forward to where we can go with this team.” They kept the shots at 15-2 after the first period en route to a 36-17 shot differential. “I was thinking we’d have a very good start,” Morrison said. “Of course you’re going to have ups and downs during the game but overall we played a pretty good game and I’m proud of them.” Marci LeBlanc scored a pair Friday, while Makenna Morrison, Karleigh Mackenzie and Starla Mann each scored as well. Devan Fayle won the game in net, stopping 16 Hounds shots. The score from Sunday’s game was unavailable at press time. The Bear Cats’ next action is Saturday (8 p.m.) and Sunday (noon) at Affinity Place against the Parkland Lions.

Atom Tier I Bruins win B side of home tournament By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca
T h e E s t e v a n Ti e r I atom Bruins were in a mood to celebrate Sunday afternoon. After a spirited 3-2 win over the Regina Tigers, the Bruins took the B side championship at centre ice at Affinity Place. Conrad Hase scored a pair of goals in the B side final, with Carter Hirsch scoring the other. Hayden Lheritier played well in net for the Bruins. “We’ve had a tough go at the start of the year,” said
Bruins head coach Chris Terrett. “We played Swift (Current) three times and they’re strong. Our kids were feeling pretty bad after last weekend.” But after this weekend, the confidence level will have raised. In the round robin, the Bruins tied the Regina Cougars 4-4, lost 9-2 to the Minot Wolves and beat the Regina Buffaloes 10-5. Carson Diechert had a hat trick in the Buffaloes game. “Now they know they can compete,” Terran said. “It was unreal how, even
after the first time, it was the first time we held a lead all year. The goalies kept us in it every game they possibly could. They were our hardest workers. It really helped when they could make a big save.” The Bruins play Swift Current in Estevan for a pair of games. “I told the boys in the second intermission, that the way they had improved in the first month, I had no idea that it was even possible,” Terrett said. “It’s night and day. I think when we play Swift, we’ll have two way better games for sure.”
TS&M Bruins grab win in Weyburn second period goals to take a 2-0 lead and held on even after a Weyburn goal in the middle of the third brought the game closer. Shots on goal were unavailable but Zane Winter took the win in net. The Bruins’ next action is Friday in Dodsland against the West Central Wheat Kings and Saturday in Moose Jaw against the Warriors.
Westmoreland Bruins drop two on road The Estevan Westmoreland Bruins were close in their pair of games on the weekend but weren’t able to come through with a win. The peewee AA team lost 6-3 in Swift Current Saturday to the Broncos and 5-3 in Melville Sunday in South Saskatchewan Peewee AA Hockey League action.
Ty Hoste, Tate Kasick and Macade Ochitwa scored Saturday for the Bruins, with Chloe Sorenson going the distance between the pipes for the loss. Ochitwa, Kasick and Emmett McCarthy scored Sunday, as Tallan Howie took the loss in net. The Bruins play a pair in Melville this weekend, Saturday and Sunday.

Saskatchewan joins provincial battle royale over Kinder Morgan permits
By Brian Zinchuk brian.zinchuk@sasktel.net
Kinder Morgan has had it up to here with the City of Burnaby holding up its Trans Mountain Expansion pipeline, and now every province from here to the coast is embattled in a legal battle royale. Burnaby hasn’t even granted permits to cut trees, for instance. On Oct. 26, Kinder Morgan decided to go over the heads of Burnaby, which has been stalling any sort of approval, and asked the National Energy Board (NEB), which has federal authority and has approved the pipeline, to intervene. The pipeline also has federal government approval. Kinder Morgan said in an Oct. 26 release, “After many months of working in good faith to obtain municipal permits from the City of Burnaby without success, we are asking the NEB to allow us to go ahead with work under the terms and conditions of the applicable certificate and NEB orders. “The City’s failure to act in a timely manner raises serious issues of jurisdiction that we are compelled to bring to the board’s attention. The project will provide important local, regional and national benefits and that is why we are also asking the NEB to establish a process for Trans Mountain to bring similar matters to the board for expedited determination in the future. As previously disclosed, such measures are necessary to help mitigate a possible delay in the construction schedule. While we await the NEB’s determination, as always, our door remains open to the City of Burnaby and we would welcome the opportunity to discuss a solution.” On Nov. 2, the government of British Columbia got into the act, backing the City of Burnaby.
“While this is a direct matter between the company and the City of Burnaby, the constitutional issues raised may result in restricting B.C.’s involvement in defending provincial interests in the future,” said British Columbia Attorney General David Eby. “That is why we have advised the NEB that the Province of B.C. will be participating in this hearing.” Thomas Berger, QC, on behalf of the B.C.. government, has asked the NEB to dismiss outright Trans Mountain’s suggestion of abridged timelines for future applications by Trans Mountain to challenge decisions of municipalities and the province in relation to permits for the project. This position, the B.C. government said in a release, is taken to ensure the province has adequate opportunity to defend its decisions in the future. “We have been clear and consistent that we will use every tool available to defend B.C.’s coast, and that is what we’re doing,” said British Columbia Environment and Climate Change Strategy Minister George Heyman. “Our first step was to appear as interveners in the Federal Court of Appeal hearing. We’ve also passed initial regulations to increase responsibility, transparency and accountability for those who move potentially dangerous liquid petroleum products through our province. We will continue to explore other legal ways to defend the interests of British Columbians against this damaging project.” Then on Nov. 2, Alberta Premier Rachel Notley jumped into the fray, stating, “One jurisdiction does not have the right to obstruct a project of national importance, which is why we will take every legal measure necessary to protect Alberta’s interests and see this
The City of Burnaby, the terminus of the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Expansion Pipeline, is using tree bylaws to stall a federally-approved interprovincial pipeline. Photo courtesy Kinder Morgan pipeline completed. “To that end, earlier today, the government of Alberta advised the (National Energy Board) of its intent to participate fully to support Kinder Morgan in its dispute with Burnaby.” The attorney general of Saskatchewan, concerned a British Columbia municipality is holding up a project that would create thousands of jobs for Canadians, has applied for intervenor status in the Trans Mountain Pipeline proceedings currently
before the National Energy Board, the government of Saskatchewan said on Nov. 3 in a release. “We are disappointed the City of Burnaby is deliberately slowing down an important project for an industry that is only now recovering from the severe slowdown caused by low oil prices,” Justice Minister and Attorney General Don Morgan said. “Saskatchewan has consistently taken the position that once an interprovincial pipeline has been
Monday. Saskatchewan has asked the board for an extension on this. “Our government will continue to advocate for an expansion of pipeline capacity across Canada,” Morgan said. “Our energy companies need to get their product to tidewater to ensure they receive the best price possible. All Canadians benefit from a thriving energy sector, including the citizens of Burnaby.”

Police were relatively quiet on Halloween Members of the Estevan Police Service (EPS) handled a few calls and conducted check stops around the city during Halloween. Officers conducted high visibility traffic check stops in the late afternoon and the evening. A large number of vehicles were checked, as vehicles were stopped on Kensington Avenue, King Street, 13th Avenue and Fourth Street.
Nobody was impaired, but the police did seize a small amount of marijuana and charged a couple of people for marijuana possession. One person who went through a check stop was charged for breaching release conditions. Police also received a couple of calls about suspicious people or vehicles, but they turned out to be trickor-treaters.

Officers also received and investigated a criminal harassment complaint earlier in the day. The parties were spoken to and the matter was resolved with instructions for them to have no further contact with each other. Police have also dealt with accidents and other calls related to weather conditions in recent days. The EPS reported on its Twitter feed during the Oct. 31 day shift that members attended to a number of collisions due to road conditions. In a press release later that day, they encouraged motorists to use extra care and attention due to the weather. Police dealt with numerous calls about accidents and erratic drivers during the Nov. 4 day shift because of snow that fell the night before. Officers attended to a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of Fourth Street and Second Avenue during the Nov. 2 night shift. Both vehicles involved had to be towed from the scene, as they could not be driven. Emergency medical services attended to examine one of the individuals from the accident, but did not transport anyone to hospital. One Es-
tevan male was charged with leaving a stop sign before it was safe to do so. He will appear in court in December. A 19-year-old woman was charged with theft under $5,000 for taking an associate’s credit card and using it to make purchases. She will appear in court in December. Members were dispatched to the 1000-block of Fourth Street during the Nov. 3 night shift for multiple 911 calls, stating a male was seriously injured following a fight. One male suffered injuries to the face and upper torso and was assessed by EMS. Another male who was trying to help had property damaged. Two males were located nearby and arrested. A 50-year-old man has been charged with assault and mischief, and a 22-year-old man has been charged with assault. They are both scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 8, 2018. Officers were dispatched to a downtown
residence during the Nov. 4 night shift, as a male reported he had been assaulted by his roommate. A 44-year-old Estevan man was arrested for assault. He was lodged in cells and will be released
before a justice of the peace with conditions. Police continue to receive lots of calls about frauds. Citizens are urged not to give out personal information to the fraudsters.

Estevan Mercury
Student learns at the Estevan Mercury The annual Take our Kids to Work Day on Nov. 1 allowed a Grade 9 student from the Estevan Comprehensive School (ECS) to get an inside look at the ever-evolving newspaper industry. Carson Wheeler spent the day with his mother Candace at the Estevan Mercury Publications office. Candace Wheeler is a sales representative at the Mercury, so Carson accompanied her while visiting some of her clients, and watched her sell some advertising. “We dropped off what
clients needed for the Business Bingo promotion,” he said. Carson was present for a conversation between his mother and a client on how print and digital advertising can work handin-hand. He also talked to some of the Mercury employees about their duties with the paper. The experience through Take our Kids to Work Day gave him more appreciation for what his mother does on a daily basis, and for the work needed to put publications
out each week. He will have to make a PowerPoint presentation on his day spent at the Mercury.
Carson said he enjoyed his day at the Mercury, and he believes Take our Kids to Work Day is a good program to get kids
out of the classroom, and into the workplace for a day. Local Grade 9 students went to numerous
businesses in the community through Take our Kids to Work Day, which falls on the first Wednesday of the month each year.

Provincial square dance convention a huge success in Estevan
By William Acri wacri@estevanmercury.ca
The provincial square and round dance convention in Estevan was a huge success with 110 people from all over the province attending the venue over the weekend. There were three different types of dancing featured over the weekend and they were square, round and clogging. Each room at the Estevan legion was in use featuring one of the three types of dancing. The weekend square dancing events did not only include dancing but there were many kinds of workshops as well. Saturday and Sunday night was filled with dancing opportunities with a live caller to host the event and music. Marian Huber was glad the convention came
The provincial square and round dance convention took place at the Estevan legion over the weekend. to Estevan community and she enjoyed great success with the event. “It is a really good fit for us and the community,” said Huber. The provincial square dance convention has being going on since 1957. In
recent years the square and round dancing clubs have been merged into one club due to a slight decline in participants. “In our club you don’t have to have a partner to come, we do teaching on
Monday nights and then we have dances on Wednesday nights, sometimes people think you have to have a partner to come; well you don’t,” said Marian Huber. Nellie Schafer is the oldest club member at 90 years of age and she is in her 40th year of being part of the Saskatchewan square and round dancing federation. Schafer is originally from Moose Jaw and she has been all over the country and even into the United States as
part of her square dancing adventures. “The fellowship, fun, exercise and brain power,” said Schafer when asked why she likes square dancing. Clogging is a newer addition to the Saskatchewan square and round dancing federation and clog dancer Sabrina Empey describes it as percussive tap dancing using the jingle tap. Empey is from Swift Current and it is her 3rd year back, since her
return clog dancing has been experiencing a lot of success. “I am involved to just support clogging, we just love it,” said Sabrina Empey. The Saskatchewan Square and Round Dance Federation may return to Estevan at some point in the future. For now people are encouraged to check out the federation’s website and see what is available to them in the area if they would like to square dance.
PUBLIC NOTICE Please be advised that the date of the Regular Board Meeting for Holy Family RCSSD #140 has been changed from Nov. 1st, 2017 to Nov. 15, 2017.
Members Bob Coleman and Marian Huber attended the provincial square and round dance convention over the weekend.

Local man wins adjudicated art show and moves up to the provincial level By William Acri wacri@estevanmercury.ca
Byron Fichter has been involved with the photographic arts since 2011 and his passion for art and photography landed his scenic landscape photos as the winner of Estevan Adjudicated Art Show. The other contestants were Marleen Vicary, Maria Ibarra and Brenda Olson. Fichter and his five photos will now be apart of the process in which many works of art are judged and could have his work travel around the province as an exhibit with the Organization of Saskatchewan Arts
Councils. Linda Murphy who is the visual arts chair for the Estevan arts council made a speech about art culture in Estevan and the arts council itself. The art show is now named after long time arts supporter Ev Johnson. “This annual adjudicated art show was renamed in 2016 to honour our friend and long time Estevan arts supporter Ev Johnson who passed away in May of 2016, thank you to everyone who is here today for sharing your talents with us, we are very pleased and very impressed,” said Murphy. Judge Kim Ennis ex-
pressed some difficulty in evaluating digital photographic images as art. Ennis eventually decided that the work that Fichter entered had met the criteria for being the best art that was submitted for the show. “It takes a lot of courage to show your work and stand in front of the world and say this is me,” said Ennis in support of all the artists who entered their work. Fichter is known to most as a motorsports photographer but Fichter has always had a very artistic side and is happy to be entering his photos into an adjudicated art show.

Byron Fichter won first place for his photographic works in the Eve Johnson adjudicated art show. Fichter and his artistic passion for photography started on the Vegas strip a few years ago. “By coincidence we were in Las Vegas and there was a photographer there named Peter Lik, that had a gallery on the strip and I walked in and immediately fell in love and I told myself this what I am going to do. The very next day I went home and
bought a camera and just started shooting,” said Fichter. Fichter ’s submitted work was landscape photography with a focus on abandonment and decay. “It is just really interesting to photograph stuff that is here now in a very dilapidated state but I always ask, how long is it going to last? I think it is important to record that history,” said Byron Fichter. Fichter had his camera equipment stolen a while ago and at the time he was
ready to give up his pursuit of the photographic arts. He eventually decided to stick with his passion and his work is might go to the provincial level. Fichter has intent to continue entering is work in various competitions. The Ev Johnson memorial adjudicated art show is only an annual occurrence in Estevan but judge Kim Ennis and arts chair Linda Murphy are looking forward to many more years of the adjudicated art show.
