Changes made to traffic flow on King Street By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca
After more than a month of complaints coming from motorists, the City of Estevan has made changes to the line painting on King Street. Local residents started raising concerns about King Street shortly after the widened and resurfaced portion of the road reopened between Bannatyne Avenue and Pine Avenue in early June. They were worried about the two quick curves that were added to the 500-block of King Street just west of the intersection with Bannatyne Avenue. A number of people took to social media to complain about being cut off on the road. Others were worried about what would happen during the winter months. The city moved those two curves a block to the west, to the 600-block of King Street. It has also removed the north parking lane for that block of King Street. The change was made on Thursday. The affected area of King Street was closed while the new lines were painted. City engineer Kiflom Weldeab said they have heard comments from many people, so they decided to make the changes to King Street prior to

feedback on that,” said Weldeab. “If that’s good, then we will go ahead with this after we resurface the roadway.” Weldeab believes the
biggest source of concern with having the curves so close to Bannatyne Avenue stemmed from their close proximity to the intersection. Now there is more
space between the two turns and the intersection with King Street and Bannatyne Avenue. These types of curves before an intersection
aren’t uncommon, he said, and they can be found in other cities. “There was nothing abnormal or outrageous NEXT ⇢A2
Financial statements show a large surplus in 2016 By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca
The City of Estevan’s audited financial statements for 2016 show a financial surplus, and continued progress with the net debt and the long-term debt, but some concerns linger with unpaid taxes. Gisele Bourgeois and Ashley Rushton from MNP Chartered Accounts presented the statements at Monday night’s meeting. Total revenues for last year were nearly $33.2 million. Taxes and other unconditional revenues, such as provincial revenue sharing and provincial grants in lieu of taxes, were the majority of the revenues at $20.3 million. Revenues were down about $4 million from 2015, but Bourgeois added that was largely due to changes in other revenues, including revenues from Trimount
Developments and the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program. Expenses were at $30.2 million. Wages and benefits were responsible for the largest expense at $12.3 million. General government services ($6.6 million), recreation and cultural services ($6.3 million), transportation services ($5.8 million) and protective services ($5.2 million) were the most expensive departments to operate. Costs were down about $1 million from the previous year, she said. “There was an increase in the general governance services due to the flood that occurred in July of 2016,” said Bourgeois. The city finished with an operating surplus of $2.9 million. When combined with $1 million in provincial/federal capital grants, the city finished with the $4
million surplus. Jeff Ward, who serves as both the city manager and the city treasurer, believes the most important figure, though, is net debt, the figure based on financial assets versus liabilities. The city finished the year with more than $10.4 million in assets last year, while total liabilities were at $36.3 million. The net debt for the community is still at nearly
$25.9 million, but it’s a reduction of about $2.5 million from 2015. “The $2.5 million is a significant amount for the city, so I would continue on that path,” said Bourgeois. Included in the liabilities is the long-term debt. The city reduced it from nearly $33.4 million in 2015 to a shade below $31 million in 2016. Mayor Roy Ludwig
said they won’t be able to make as much progress on the long-term debt in 2017, because they needed to spend $2.5 million for the purchase and renovation of the former Murray GM building, which will become the new Estevan fire hall. “We expect … we will resume that the following year, and in successive years, until we get the debt
paid off,” said Ludwig. Ward said the reduction in net debt has been a focus for him and city council since he arrived in 2013. “Net debt is a great value of that number, because that means you’re increasing cash and your assets while still reducing your liabilities and reducing your long-term debt,” said Ward.

Guilty plea entered in workplace accident A guilty plea has been entered in connection with a workplace incident that occurred near Estevan almost two years ago. Prairie Mines & Royalty ULC, operating as Westmoreland Coal Company, pleaded guilty to contravening clause 12(a) of the Occupational Health and Safety regulations, for being an employer at a place of employment that failed in the provision and maintenance of plant, system of work and working environments that ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety and welfare at work of the employer’s workers, resulting in a serious injury to a worker. The company was fined $85,714.29 plus a surcharge
of $34,285.71 in Estevan provincial court on July 10. Charges stem from an incident that occurred on August 10, 2015, near Estevan. A worker suffered serious injuries after tripping on a footrest inside the cabin of a dragline excavator and falling approximately 20 feet. “While everyone is responsible to create and maintain a safe and healthy workplace, employers carry the greatest responsibility because of their authority and control over the worksite,” stated a news release from the Government of Saskatchewan. “The Ministry of Labour Relations and Workplace Safety works to eliminate workplace injuries and illnesses through education, inspection, and prosecutions.”

Monday evening collision Estevan Police Service, the Estevan Fire Rescue Service and Estevan EMS attended a two-vehicle collision Monday evening just before 6 p.m. at the intersection of Fourth Street and 13th Avenue. Both vehicles were towed and one person suffered minor injuries. The matter is still under investigation.
Unpaid taxes remain a concern for city ⇠ A1 The financial statements also show the city had more than $2.6 million in cash at the end of last year, compared to more than $1.9 million in cash for 2015. Ward believes that is also an important step forward for the city. “That is due to better monitoring of costs that occurred during this fiscal year,” said Bourgeois. Building the cash reserves has been a priority, Ward said. When he started with the city, they had a large bank indebtedness and little cash in the bank. “You can’t operate like
that, because you’re always budgeting to zero and it can get scary,” said Ward. The cash surplus would ideally be used for the city’s response to large snow storms or to rain events, and to other emergency situations. The amount of unpaid taxes remains high, which is a concern. The figure stands at nearly $1.19 million for last year, compared with $896,424 the previous year. “Obviously that’s always a cash flow concern,” said Ward. “We just hope people understand that the taxes go to improve the city

and make the betterments we need to have done.” The city employs a firm to address taxes that are overdue for more than two years, so Ward said they are addressing the issue. The amount of taxes owing isn’t significantly higher than what it’s been since he’s been with the city, he said, but it’s rare for them to be above $1 million. Ward attributed the amount of taxes owing to the economic slowdown in Estevan that started in the summer of 2014.

So we will let people decide, and then see what the public feedback is like.” Weldeab said the city looked at removing the parking lane of the northern half of King Street from Souris Avenue to Bannatyne Avenue, and adding a centre turning lane. But they wanted to try other options first.
“This one was more popular,” said Weldeab. “This one was the one that most of the people were supportive of.” He said the city went door-to-door to speak to people about the loss of parking in front of their properties, but didn’t hear a lot of concerns from residents. Additional work will be taking place on King Street this summer. The

The city will be able to complete their projects within budget, even with the addition of the resurfacing of King Street from Arthur Avenue to Bannatyne Avenue. Ward also added the city is confident two lanes will be resurfaced at a time, which means King Street will be open to single-lane traffic, and a detour won’t be necessary.

Bringing their love for their hobby to Estevan
By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca
It was an opportunity for people from across the province to gather just outside of the Energy City, and celebrate a love for their chosen hobby. The Sun City RemoteControlled Club hosted the provincial fun fly on Saturday and Sunday at its site southeast of Estevan. More than 30 people from across the province flocked to the grounds to fly their model airplanes and race their remote-controlled cars, and to discuss their passion for the pursuit. Art Dougherty, who is the president of the Sun City club, said people from Swift Current, Winnipeg, Saskatoon and other communities came to Estevan. The fun fly is held at a different community each year, and this marked the first time Estevan has hosted the gathering. “Last year we had our grand opening (of the property), and then we decided we would host the fun fly this year,” Dougherty said while a model airplane buzzed overhead. “It was our turn.” But it’s not just an event for flying the planes. Dougherty said there is also a strong social component. “We just talk and fly, and the most important thing is you get to know the other people,” said Dougherty. “It’s a people sport.
We see what they’re flying and what you’re flying and compare notes and have fun.” Technology is always changing, he said. Turbine propeller jets, different airplanes and even drones were part of the show. Drones are growing in popularity, he said, and regulations allow for them to be flown at designated fields such as the Sun City’s club. “It’s part of the hobby as well,” said Dougherty. Derek Kanak and his son Evan came to Estevan from Regina for the fun fly. They operate Remote Control Hobbies in the Queen City, and they want to showcase what they sell at the store. They attend the provincial fun fly every year, and they’re looking forward to next year’s event when it will be in Regina. Derek Kanak said he has always had a passion for flying, and that has translated to model planes. “I can’t afford to get a real pilot’s licence, so this is the next-best thing, flying model airplanes,” said Kanak, who was drawn to the planes by their sound and their smell, and the thrill of flying. “This is a big thrill to fly this,” he added later. “It’s a really good hobby.” When he spoke with the Mercury, Kanak and his son were working on a model of a Harvard II
NATO training airplane. It’s one that he said he’s particularly proud of, because he spent all winter working on the plane, and it’s exciting to see it now flying through the air. Remote-controlled car operators also had their chance to have some fun throughout the weekend. They raced their vehicles at the small oval track to the west of the airfield. “We recommend radio-controlled to everyone, it doesn’t matter if it’s cars, boats or planes,” said Dougherty. “It’s all one for us.” Dougherty said the club received rave reviews about the facility from people who attended the fun fly. Those clubs have good fields and nice facilities, he said, but they were in awe when they saw what Estevan has to offer. Kanak was among those who was praising the facility. “It’s nice and new for the fun fly,” said Kanak. “There’s really nice people running, it, so it’s good.” The new facility has been a tremendous addition for the club, Dougherty said. The lack of rain has hurt the grass in the field this summer, but the facility still looks good. He noted the club has a regular fly night on Tuesday nights, and he encourages the public to check it out and see if they would be interested in the hobby.

King Street illustrates a bigger problem Shortly after King Street reopened between Pine Avenue and Bannatyne Avenue last month, following a long-overdue widening and resurfacing project, the first complaints surfaced about traffic flow on that vital road. The problem, according to local motorists, was that little two-curve kink just before Bannatyne Avenue. Motorists were not adapting to the change. People were getting cut off, and it seemed to be just a matter of time until there was an accident. And if it was an issue now, imagine how bad it would be in the winter, when the traffic lines would be faded, and possibly buried beneath snow and ice. Now, it should be noted that the change west of Bannatyne Avenue was not a complex one. It involved two quick turns. Yet some people never seemed to grasp the concept. And they took to social media to voice their concerns. The city’s solution has been to move the kink a block further to the west. On the surface, it should help the traffic flow concerns a little bit, since it is further away from the traffic lights and the right turn lane

Golfing on company time Ten years ago this summer, former Battlefords News-Optimist sports editor Jim Humphrey and I began a golf adventure, and got paid to do it. Jim had come to us from southern Ontario, breaking a streak of increasingly short-lasting sports reporters with the News-Optimist. If he had continued the trend, his stay would have been hours. Instead, it was over a year. Jim and I hit it off famously, moreso than I have with any other co-worker before or since. But Jim was sad. You see, Jim had recently become a United States Golf Teachers Federationcertified golf professional, with a low single-digit handicap. But he wasn’t getting many bookings for teaching golf lessons he offered on the side, and he frankly wasn’t doing much golfing. In the newspaper business, the summer doldrums can be tough. Everyone is on holidays, most organized sports beside senior baseball are wrapped up, and you’re digging desperately to find something,
at King Street and Bannatyne Avenue. But one still has to wonder how motorists will handle those curves once winter arrives and the road paint isn’t as visible. You can also be sure that people who reside on the northern half of King Street, and lost the parking lane in front of their homes, might not be happy with this change. If this solution doesn’t pan out, then we can probably look forward to another adjustment in traffic line painting, likely after the resurfacing of King Street from Souris Avenue North to Arthur Avenue is complete. At least these changes are relatively cheap for taxpayers. It doesn’t cost much to apply white and yellow paint on the street, and yellow paint for the curbs. But there’s a bigger issue here, and that is the inability of some motorists to adapt to a relatively simple change. We saw it back in 2015 and early 2016 when the new truck bypass north of the city opened, and stop signs were installed on Highway 47. Some people did not adapt easily. Numerous accidents occurred. One
of them was fatal. And given the speeds of vehicles on the bypass, it’s surprising there weren’t more fatal accidents. The number of collisions at the junction of the bypass and Highway 47 has thankfully declined in the past year. Some of that can be attributed to motorists finally adapting to these changes. But the Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure also had to install more visible lights at the junction, and reduce the speed limit for vehicles travelling on the bypass. Those were measures that wouldn’t have been needed if drivers would have paid attention and driven with caution. Estevan isn’t the first community to have an irregular traffic flow change near a traffic light. It won’t be the last, either. Those two quick turns before Bannatyne Avenue were an inconvenience, but ultimately they force motorists to pay attention to the road and make adapt. If you’re incapable of doing that, then maybe you shouldn’t be driving. We’ll see if this change is ultimately for the better, or if it just moves the traffic flow problem one block further west.
anything, to write about. So in June I cooked up a hell of an idea. I was a rank amateur golfer. I think, to that point, I had put in about seven rounds in my entire life. If Jim’s handicap was four, mine was four dozen, give or take. After the paper was put to bed at noon on Thursday, there was usually very little to do in the newsroom except get caught up on things. It was almost always a dead day. Here was my idea: Jim and I would spend every Thursday afternoon of the summer going to different golf courses in the region, play a round, take pictures, and write a full-page review on it. The story would be the front page of the second section of the paper and lead sports story. Sales would sell an ad to that golf course, they would let us golf, with a cart, for free, and we would have something to write about, filling a page with decent content. Win-win-win. Jim would write about all the technical stuff – things like slope and the like. (What the hell is slope?) I would write from the perspective of someone totally new to the game. It was an odd couple take on each of these courses. In the meantime, we would spend a whole summer golfing, for free, and getting paid to do it. Advertising even got to make sales on it, too. Thus we headed out at noon each Thursday to a different course. We went to Maidstone and Spiritwood, Jackfish Lake and North Battleford. Some were quite nice, others wouldn’t have got much love from hoity toity golfers. I think we went to 10 in all. I borrowed my wife’s clubs, because I
didn’t have my own. That summer golfing was among the best times of my life. While we took many picturesque photos, by far the best one was the photo Jim got of me getting my first, and I think only, birdie. I was about 18 inches in the air. I see from the photo info that took place July 26, 2007. A funny thing happened along the way. After years of writing about politics, city hall, cops and courts, I found out that our golf series was one of the most appreciated works of journalism I had ever done. People would come up to us, out of the blue, and talk to us about it. I was filling up my car, with Jim in the passenger seat, at the local Co-op and a man came up to us saying, “Hey, you’re the two golfers, aren’t you?” All my life, I never really got sports. I never understood the passion people put into doing it, or watching it. But that summer, I got a brief glimpse into how much people truly loved golf. After a year, Jim abandoned me, moving back to the Big Smoke to work in Toronto and live in its suburbs, working in the newspaper business there. He got married to a girl named Michelle (just like me) and they have twins who seem great, from what I gather from Facebook. I don’t know if I’ll ever capture that lightning in a bottle that we had that summer, two friends, co-workers, golfing on company time and having a blast doing it. But every time I take out my clubs, I think about it. Brian Zinchuk is editor of Pipeline News. He can be reached at brian. zinchuk@sasktel.net.

When smoke gets in your Time to twin committee needs lungs to maintain the pressure Corey Atkinson New Material Only A few decades ago, the Sanford Townsend Band had a hit on AM radio stations across North America with Smoke From a Distant Fire. Sure, it sounded bittersweet, melodic and maybe even provided a bit of instant nostalgia for those listening at the time, but when the southern half of the province caught the whiff of smoke from distant British Columbia fires this week it was a bit more than just a pleasant memory of a Van Morrison-stlye ‘70s song steeped in soft mono sound and fuzzy reception. I remember a couple of years ago when the sky in Moose Jaw, where I lived at the time, was blanketed quickly and suddenly by a thick, choking smog. I’ve never recalled the sky being the colour that it was as the smoke from La Ronge area fires descended on the southern half of the province, choking out the sun and effectively ruining any chance of a warm summer. As bad as it was for us to be unable to see the sun as more than a hazy orange ball, and as difficult as it was when the air outside was unsuitable for outdoor activities it paled in comparison to the thousands of people – many of which were First Nations – who were forced to evacuate hundreds of miles away to Saskatoon or Regina to wait out the fires. Indeed, it is and will likely still for many years be the largest fire evacuation in the province’s history. Many thousands of dollars were poured into firefighting efforts to ensure La Ronge, Lac La Ronge and Air Ronge were safe again, but not before major infrastructure was threatened along with people’s homes. The airport was even threatened. Residents weren’t able to return home for weeks. Then last year, the fires in Fort McMurray hit quite close to home for many people I know. I worked there from 2008-10 and some of the people I knew were the terrified evacuees, hustled out with little more than the clothing on their backs. Extremely hot weather for the time, coupled with high winds, escalated a fire near the city into the catastrophe that unfolded before our eyes. I was shocked to see some of the very first images of the fire, which entered from the south, attacking both sides of a highway I’d travelled on a hundred times. There was the sign of a chicken place I’d wanted to check out. There was a Burger King my oldest boy had been invited to a birthday party at. Then as people fled, houses burned. The Beacon Hill neighbourhood, home to the rink where I’d covered events, was decimated but somehow the Frank LaCroix Arena where minor hockey week was enjoyed every year, survived. The Waterways neighbourhood lost 90 per cent of its homes. The boys’ favourite playground was there and it was within walking distance from our apartment. Poof, gone. Then the fire raged up the hill into the Abasand neighbourhood. The daycare home where my oldest went to school went up in flames along with 50 per cent of the homes. Another home of friends of mine was wiped out, a fact they weren’t sure of until they returned weeks later. In total, $3.5 billion was the estimated cost for insured damage. Nothing can replace the memories. Personally in the last couple of years, I’ve been a little bit on edge whenever smoke from fires far away comes around the area. When we think about the relatively minor effects of needing to stay indoors during somewhat smoky days if we have breathing issues, remember it could be a lot worse.
The editor: Twice this past month, I needed to drive to Regina. On both occasions I ended up in a congested convoy of vehicles of varying sizes. The first trip saw two of us driving sports utility vehicles, falling in line behind four semis. Two of the semis had taken the scenic route through central Estevan (another issue for another day), with the other two merging into traffic at the truck route intersection. Driving conditions were clear but the wind was wicked and it became obvious the truckers were having their challenges. One was a two-unit bulk petroleum carrier, another was carrying a cube box, another was an empty flat bed while the fourth was hauling a piece of heavy excavating equipment, marked as an oversized load. The semis were lined
up behind one another and 90 to 95 kilometres per hour was their best and safest speed I would presume. Thankfully, none of us who fell in behind them felt the need to do any rodeo driving. Our little parade turned into a major one by the time we reached Midale. I checked the rear view mirror on that sweeping curve and was able to quickly count 12 vehicles stacked up behind us, including three more semis with one of them being another oversized unit. Two of us finally managed to escape the convoy by taking full advantage of the two traffic lights in Weyburn. None of us had been able to pass the semis earlier thanks to the volume and intensity of the oncoming traffic, coupled with the wind conditions and spacing problems. I began to think about how many passing lanes
would have been needed to have efficiently taken care of this situation. My guess was that we would have needed one huge passing zone between Hitchcock and Halbrite to relieve ourselves of the congestion. I realize Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure numbers indicate Highway 39 and Highway 6 south aren’t quite there yet in terms of vehicle numbers, but on this particular day, and another one a week later, that ended up with a convoy of 13 vehicles from Weyburn to half-past Milestone, tells me that numbers only don’t tell the whole story. Fortunately I had left myself with a half-hour bridge for my appointment. That made me only five minutes late once I reached Regina. On both occasions, the wind was a big factor along with the fact that Highways 39 and 6 are restrictive
two-lane thoroughfares trying feebly to accommodate international traffic and trade. We can’t allow the tiny stretch of four-lane construction from the Bienfait corner to Estevan end up being the lip-service recognition of the growing needs of southeast Saskatchewan. That cannot be their “it will do” solution to our traffic woes. We need the Time to Twin team to keep hammering away with their facts, figures and convincing arguments. We can’t let a twinned highway project sink into the background due to current economic conditions. After all, some day that GTH and Regina bypass will be finished and the need to provide compliant highway infrastructure into and out of that centre will be vital. Norm Park Estevan
Global wealth disparity has to be addressed now The editor: Just eight people have more wealth than the planet’s poorest 3.6 billion human beings. This is the most recent report from Oxfam. This simply means that these eight people have more wealth than three times the population of the entire Western Hemisphere. It is also known that in the U.S., the average chief executive officer (CEO)
“earned” 350 times more than the average worker. In a comprehensive analysis of thousands of corporations, over a period of almost two decades, it was established that only five per cent of performance differences could be attributed to actions of the CEO. It has been suggested by some that we all are masters of our own fate. As one Republican candidate, running for the
U.S. presidency in 2012 stated, “If you are poor, don’t blame Wall Street or the big banks. Blame yourself.” Chris Hedges is an American prize-winning journalist. He is also a professor at Princeton University in New Jersey and a Presbyterian minister. He once stated, that unless the U.S. can control its disparity of wealth, eventually most Ameri-
can citizens will became share-croppers. Canadians need to be aware of what can happen to a democracy when a few people can control the wealth of a nation. To stop that from happening, Canadians need to know and elect political leaders who will work diligently in the interests of the majority of the citizens of Canada. Leo Kurtenbach Saskatoon
Polio eradication will be an astounding accomplishment I recently read a statistic on polio that made my heart beat a little faster: in 1998, 40 children per hour, worldwide, were being infected by polio. By 2016, that number was reduced to 40 children per year. Is that not astonishing? It would seem that it is within our grasp to
eradicate this incurable but preventable disease. This has only happened once before when in 1980, small pox was declared eradicated. The success behind the reduction in polio infections is due in large part to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) which was
established 30 years ago. I am proud to know that Canada has pledged $100 million to the GPEI, as this is a worthwhile investment. Since the establishment of the GPEI, it has generated net benefits of US$27 billion from reduced healthcare costs. Complete eradication
would result in additional net benefits to the globe of US$19 billion to $25 billion over the next 20 years. This is a step in the right direction for Canada. Not sure that “we’re back,” but perhaps we are on our way. Connie Lebeau Victoria, B.C.

COUNCIL BRIEFS
NEWS AND NOTES FROM THE JULY 17 REGULAR MEETING OF ESTEVAN CITY COUNCIL
Council approves subdividing large property Estevan city council approved the subdivision of a parcel of land in east Estevan during their meeting on Monday night. The affected area is the former Derrick Motor Hotel and Smitty’s Restaurant in the 100-block of Fourth Street. The Derrick shut down early last year after serving the community for decades. Smitty’s, which was owned by the same individual, was shut down a few months later. Both buildings remain unoccupied. The owner of the land has been unable to find a buyer for both properties, so the request was made to have the land subdivided into two parcels, which would allow the buildings to be sold separately.
*** Council tabled two sponsorship requests for upcoming community events. One was for the Estevan Business Excellence Awards, which is being organized by the Estevan Chamber of Commerce and will be taking place on Oct. 22 at the Wylie-Mitchell Building. The other request was from the Estevan Exhibition Association for the Estevan CCA (Canadian Cowboys Association) Rodeo that will happen on Sept. 1 and 2. Council members said both are great events for the community, but they weren’t prepared to make decisions just yet. *** The monthly cart re-
port from Regens Disposal showed the total number of recycling bins emptied in June was 4,183, with a total weight of 32,730 kilograms, or 7.82 kilograms per cart. The total trash cart count for June was 15,305 bins, with a total weight of 338,058 kilograms, or an average weight per cart of 22.69 kilograms. *** The tender for the leisure services grounds maintenance equipment package was awarded to Redhead Equipment for $49,950. The purchase is part of the fleet renewal for the parks division. Parks manager Rod March said the existing fleet is functional, but three pieces went to auc-
tion in June, necessitating replacements to keep up with grounds maintenance. One is a utility tractor with several attachments, and the other is a zero-turn tractor. *** Five building permits worth $192,600 were issued in June, bringing the totals for the year to 30 permits worth $2.815 million. One secondary suite permit worth $100,000, two garages worth a total of $87,400, and two miscellaneous permits worth $5,200 were granted last month. The building activity for this year is similar to last year, as 32 permits were issued in the first sixth months of 2016, but
the permit value is down considerably this year. Those 32 permits from a year ago had a total value of nearly $7 million. *** Council approved first reading of a bylaw to rezone a parcel of land in the north city limits along Highway 47, to accommodate the construction of Faith Lutheran Church’s new building. The property is currently designated for low-density acreages but it would be rezoned to institutional zone. *** Council gave second and third readings to a bylaw to rename Woodlawn Avenue South to Collins Road. The road is named after Bernie Collins – who was an educator, council-
lor and mayor in Estevan, as well as a member of Parliament for SourisMoose Mountain – and the other members of his family, for their contributions to the Estevan area. *** Councillor Dennis Moore voiced his concern with the amount of dust on the cemetery access road. Moore noted there are seniors who use the road every day, and are worried with the amount of dust reaching the cemetery. He wondered how much it would cost to add the road to the dust control program. Mayor Roy Ludwig asked city manager Jeff Ward to find out how much it would cost to apply dust control.
Sidewalks constructed on Wellock Road After years of waiting, individuals who reside on the eastern blocks of Wellock Road finally have access to sidewalks. The sidewalks have been constructed on the northern half of Wellock Road from Souris Avenue North to Gibbs Road, and on the southern half of Wellock Road from Souris Avenue North to Mayfair Bay. “Originally we wanted to get that going (on the northern half), and then we looked on the southern half of the street, and there was no place for the nursing home residents to go the street,” said Norm Mack, the roads and drainage manager for the City of Estevan. “There are too many people walking down that street, and there has been a big influx of traffic,” he
added later. The number of vehicles on Wellock Road has soared in recent years, thanks to the construction of new homes in the Dominion Heights subdivision. Mack also noted that Wellock Road is now a thoroughfare between Souris Avenue North and Sister Roddy Road. “The face of the city changed in that northwest corner, and the people deserve sidewalks that should have been there,” said Mack. Construction on the sidewalks started earlier this month. Since there are two schools in northwest Estevan, Mack said the city wanted to wait until summer vacation began. The northern sidewalk was completed first, and then contractors worked on the southern portion. The
process of pouring the cement has been completed. Landscaping work still remains to blend the boulevards in with the sidewalks. He expects that work will likely take around one more week. The southern sidewalk extends onto Mayfair Bay. Mack stressed there are a lot of young children on Mayfair Bay and Mayfair Drive who needed access to a sidewalk. Motorists handled the construction work well, he said, and the residents were very happy to see the sidewalks constructed. “When I pounded on every one of their doors months ago (to tell them), they were jumping up for joy and there were hugs,” said Mack. The city has also constructed a walking path, using crushed asphalt, on

Souris Valley Museum offers a trip through the decades
Liam and Julia Durr select some props for a 1920s era photo shoot at last week’s Flashback Friday event, which took place at Souris Valley Museum.
The Souris Valley Museum held its first Flashback Friday events last week, this time focusing on the 1920s. Every two weeks the museum will have another Flashback event and explore the decades chronologically, with July 28 looking at the 1930s. “It’s a program where we partnered with the Estevan Public Library and it’s a program that features different decades throughout the months of July and August,” said Mark Veneziano, director-curator for
the Souris Valley Museum. “So we have two sessions for July, today’s is the 1920s, and then on July 28 we’ll be learning about the 1930s, so it is every other Friday and we learn about various things in the history of Canada and Estevan and we have a history lesson, a little activity and some snacks.” For August the first event on Aug. 11 will begin with a look at the 1940s and Canada’s contribution to the Second World War, then on Aug. 25 children will get schooled on the
1950s and be treated to a mini malt milkshake stand, which was all the rage during that decade. The program runs for an hour between 10 and 11 a.m. and is designed to be a fun way to learn about Canada and Estevan’s histories with the only cost being a donation to the museum. “It gives them (children) the opportunity to learn about the different decades and what happened, what was significant in Canadian history at these times,” said Veneziano.
Checking out the bikes Charlaine Berday checks out the motorcycles that were parked on 12th Avenue in front of Gibby’s Pub on Saturday morning. The bikes were involved with the Hippie Boogie memorial poker run, and were displayed before the ride began. It was among the highlights for this year’s Hippie Boogie motorcycle rally. Most of the activities took place on a property northeast of Estevan.

a seatbelt, while another was for a passenger under the age of seven not being properly restrained. Four people were caught operating an unregistered motor vehicle, three were driving without a valid driver’s licence and three failed to produce registration. Single tickets were for driving left of the centre line with oncoming traffic, having tinted front side windows, having excessive damage to a windshield and having unlawful sunscreen on a windshield. Fifty-eight warnings and two inspection notices were issued during the week. Traffic unit members are also advising motorists to not drive with a pet in
their lap. It’s considered distracted driving and air bags are not meant for pets. Officers stress dogs are safer in the backseat, in a dog-safe seatbelt or in a pet porter. The driver can be charged under section 213(1) of the Traffic Safety Act for driving without due care and attention if the operator does some type of driving action, such as running a red light or a stop sign, which can be attributed to the dog sitting on their lap. The infraction carries a $280 fine. A driver can also be charged just for having the dog on their lap under 245(3) of the Traffic Safety Act for permitting the overcrowding of the driver’s compartment, which carries a $125 fine.

Fresh Air Fitness providing an outdoor option Estevan’s Fresh Air Fitness outdoor gym recently received a donation of $3,000 from The Estevan Strippers hockey team and Nalco Champion. Of that donation $1,000 came from the Estevan Strippers Molson Spring Bust 35th Annual Tournament and the remaining $2,000 came from a Winnipeg Jets game package donated by NalcoChampion as a silent auction item for the tournament. Peggy Rohatyn and Debbie Knight, fundraisers and organizers for the outdoor gym project, said though they don’t yet know specifically where the money is going, it will likely be put toward more equipment. “Things people want we’ll try to add them; we’re open to suggestions if there’s anything people would like to see in there,” said Knight, speaking of the workout equipment. “We’re waiting for the sand to come in and we’re waiting for the other pieces that are getting done yet.” Fresh Air Fitness, which is located between the baseball diamond and soccer field in Woodlawn Regional
Park, is expected to have its grand opening Aug. 27. Rohatyn added the grand opening event would run from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. with demonstrations, skill testing, small competitions and tours of the running trails in the woods behind the gym. She said there are roughly 15 trails that join up near the Woodlawn Regional Park campground and the organizers have also picked an area in the woods to set up a quiet meditation centre. The outdoor gym also features platforms behind the storage building that can be used for yoga, karate and tai chi. “We’ve had a really good response so far,” said Knight. “They’re (the public) anxious for us to get going, it’s has been excellent, they’re happy, they’re pleased — we did yoga on Saturday and one of the other yoga instructors that was here said, ‘Thank you, I’m going to dedicate my practice to you two today.’” Fresh Air Fitness, which has been created with nothing but donations and

Street Fair draws crowds to downtown
People flocked to downtown Estevan on Saturday for the Downtown Action Committee’s second annual Street Fair. The 1100 and 1200 blocks of Fourth Street were closed off to vehicle traffic so that people could easily walk up and down the street. Local businesses had sidewalk sales and in-store specials to attract customers. Local non-profit organizations held fundraisers and promoted their community initiatives. Picnic benches were set up for people to sit down and enjoy snow cones, ice cream and other snacks and refreshments. The Estevan Bible Camp had its rock climbing wall at the intersection of Fourth Street and 12th Avenue. The Estevan Girl Guides offered face painting. The Estevan Fire Rescue Service and the Estevan Police Service had their vehicles on display so people could take a look inside them. Antique vehicles were also on site for people to admire.

Interest is high for Showcase business expo The shift to the Power Dodge Ice Centre appears to be paying dividends for the organizers of the Estevan Showcase Business Expo. Showcase will happen from Sept. 22 to 24. Jackie Wall, who is the executive director of the Estevan Chamber of Commerce, revealed earlier this year that Showcase would be held at the ice centre for the first time since 2010. It was in Affinity Place from 2011 to 2016, but concerns about condensation on the temporary floor applied to Affinity Place necessitated the change in venue. Wall said there has been very good feedback
about the change in location, and the exhibitors who have registered have not complained about the shift. “Booth sales are going really well,” said Wall. “There is an increase in traffic up to this point from last year. Last year it was very quiet in June and July, and this year I’m getting calls almost daily for Showcase, whether it’s to get more information or to get applications in.” When a couple people asked where Showcase would happen this year, and were told that it was in the ice centre, they said they would go ahead with a booth this year. They weren’t sure if they would
participate if Showcase remained in Affinity Place. Wall noted that interest in Showcase is also often tied to whether there are other trade shows happening at the same time elsewhere in Western Canada. Showcase organizers will be contacting those who have participated in the expo the last two years and haven’t booked a booth yet. “We also promote this to the different trade show people to see if we can draw in some new exhibitors as well, and we do have some new exhibitors,” said Wall. “There will be some of the same exhibitors as previous years.”
Many exhibitors don’t think about booking for Showcase until after the summer months, so Wall wants to call them next month to avoid the lastminute rush. “Showcase always fills up the last two weeks,” said Wall. “We’re at a really good point right now.” A total of 37 booths have been booked already. Some exhibitors will have more than one booth. Seventy-one booths can fit inside the ice centre. It’s fewer booths than at Af-
finity Place, but if they have a surplus number of exhibitors this year, they can always put the extra participants inside the leisure centre’s hallway. Outdoor booths will be located in the Power Dodge Ice Centre’s parking lot. They might also have exhibitors at the Estevan’s Leisure Centre’s courtyard. Wall noted that people who attend Showcase will still enter through the Estevan Leisure Centre’s main doors, since the ice centre’s parking lot will
be closed for the outdoor displays. Patrons will then walk down the leisure centre’s hallway to access the Showcase booths. Patrons will have the option of whether they want to pay for a single-day ticket, or buy a bracelet to attend an unlimited number of times all three days. Wall said they have positive feedback about that promotion last year. Showcase is a project of the chamber, the Rotary Club of Estevan and the Estevan Lions Club.

Elite squirt girls win silver hosting provincials By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca
Only three of them had played the game beyond initiation-level leagues before this season, but the Estevan Elite moulded themselves into one of the best in the province, and displayed it at home last weekend. The Elite got some timely good pitching and a consistent effort in making the Saskatchewan Softball Association’s Squirt B Girls final Sunday at the Pleasantdale Softball Diamonds. Through scorching hot temperatures that went well into the 30s Saturday and Sunday – and occasional water breaks – the Elite lost 15-1 in the final to the Battlefords Bandits, having finally ran out of gas. “They’ve been together since the beginning of May,” said coach Randy Gooding. “There’s only three girls that have been here before and are second years. The rest of them are brand new kids.” The team went to several tournaments throughout the year and found success there. The Elite won gold in a Regina tournament, second in Saskatoon and second in Moose Jaw earlier this year and now second in provincials. The Elite opened off the tournament Friday with a 14-4 win over Carry The Kettle First Nation and a 15-8 win over the Moose Jaw Ice B team. Saturday they defeated the Davidson Red Sox 16-10 but lost 1410 to the Melfort Spirit. For Sunday’s playoff, they defeated the Ice again 17-10 after coming from behind early but fell short of winning gold with a 15-1 loss to the undefeated Battleford team. “It was a long, hot weekend and they’re all young and tired of playing ball now,” he said. “It’s hard, with 10-12-year-old kids to keep them focused.
Zoey Thompson throws a pitch Saturday at the squirt provincials at Wellock Road in Estevan. You just let them have breaks and lots of water.” And there was no discouragement at all from the Elite, no matter what the score was. As is softball tradition, the singing and encouraging chanting was nearly constant from the bench as they batted and there were few errors on the field. “They worked hard and they stuck together as a team and helped each other out,” Gooding said. And with only three players aging out of squirt, the future looks bright for the team next season.
Jayden Dudas earns a spot as Team Sask. alternate for nationals By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca
A couple of scintillating below par rounds at provincials in Swift Current last week has given Estevan’s Jayden Dudas a spot as Team Saskatchewan’s alternate at nationals next month. Dudas, 14, fired a 78-70-71 (219) over three
rounds at Chinook Golf Course to rank fourth among U19 male golfers at the 91st annual Saskatchewan Junior Men’s Championship July 10-12. His score was tied with third place finisher Andrew Campbell (68-76-75) but the 17-year-old Campbell was awarded the spot on the provincial team due to tiebreakers.
Dudas won the provincial U15 Championship at the event and fired five birdies as part of his final round. His score was 38 strokes better than his second place competitor, Warman’s Davis Czuy. The race to the top was tight as Humboldt’s Tayden Wallin won the championship with a score
of 75-69-70 (214). Jean-Luc Dupuis finished 80-77-83 (240) for 24th spot, as Reagan Robinson finished in a tie for 29th at 85-84-78 (247). Chase Gedak was in 32nd place with 80-85-85 (250), Jace Carlisle was 37th with 93-83-85 (261) and Logan Chernoff was 39th with 8793-86 (266).
Ashes had a Birthday in May and while we were happy to celebrate his 1st birthday with him, we are also sad because it means he has been at the shelter his entire life! He is incredibly soft, affectionate with a perfect dose of spunk and fun! We can’t understand why our Ashy continues to be overlooked but we know his homecoming day will be soon!

Twins look to provincials after blowing out Expos By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca
Rhett Nikolejsin of the Twins looks at a pitch Saturday at Lynne Prime Field against the Parkland Expos.
The Southeast Performance Pump Midget AAA Twins probably won’t remember that their second last game of the 2017 Saskatchewan Premier Baseball League regular season was a bit of a dog, but they wouldn’t have wanted an entire weekend ruined with the memory of a loss. The Twins lost their first game of the weekend 15-1 to the last-place Parkland Expos Saturday at Lynne Prime Field but recovered in the last game to stomp off with a 16-0 win. Such swings are common in baseball, depending on who’s pitching – and who’s paying attention in the field. “This week, it was just a nice easy talking to,” said Twins coach Blaine Kovach, whose team is hosting provincials this weekend. “They just have to trust in their abilities a lot better than what they do. They are good ballplayers. They just have to start realizing it.” The good ballplayers took their time to show it on Saturday. The score was 3-1 for the Expos going into the top of the fourth, with the Twins run coming off an
RBI single from Jose Reyes, scoring Luke Niemegeers in the bottom of the third. But the wheels came off in the fourth when errors compounded control problems on the mound and the Twins found themselves down 7-1 after four. Another eight runs crossed the plate for the Expos in the fifth and due to not scoring the bottom of the fifth, the game was called due to the mercy rule. Brett MacMurchy shouldered the loss, allowing eight hits and three walks and three earned runs in four innings. Thomas Husband and Hunter Perkins mopped up the game on the mound in relief. But the second game was a much different story. The Twins jumped out to a 12-0 lead after the first inning. Niemegeers shut the door on the Expos hitting, allowing only one hit and six walks over four complete innings. Evan McLarty finished the fifth inning unscathed. A t t h e p l a t e , Ry a n Gaab went 1-for-1 with three walks and three RBI, while Trent Dorrance went 2-for-3, also with three RBI. Everyone who took a turn at bat for the Twins reached base safely at some point
during the game. “It was definitely a much better effort, especially going into provincial time,” said Kovach. “It’s a little bit of a confidence boost going into the weekend because we will be seeing some tough competition, that’s for sure.” At provincials, the Twins will play a threegame round robin on Friday and Saturday. The top two teams in each of the two pools will go to the playoffs Sunday at 10 a.m. with the gold and bronze medal games scheduled for 1 p.m. Sunday, unless tiebreakers are needed. The Twins will go with five scheduled starting pitchers and have a good idea who will go when it comes to the weekend. The Saskatoon Diamondbacks — who currently have a nine game league winning streak and a 24-5 record this season — are likely to be ranked as the top team. If the eighth place Twins are seeded eighth, that’s who their first opponent will be. “If you go 2-1 in the round robin, that usually guarantees you a spot Sunday,” Kovach said. “That’s ultimately what we’re playing for. You get yourself Sunday to the semifinal, anything can happen there.”
Golden Eels set blistering pace in Weyburn By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca
A full contingent from the Estevan Golden Eels swim club ripped through the pool at a meet in Weyburn, dominating their age classes and disciplines. The Eels, competing in their first full meet of the season, won the high club point award of the meet with 604.5 points, far ahead of the Regina Piranhas at 324.5. A total of 28 of the 41 swimmers who went to the meet were able to place in the top three of an event. Many of these swimmers came home with medals, meaning they placed in the top three overall of their age category.
Those medal winners were Rachel Douglas (7-8 girls gold), Rowyn Siever (7-8 girls bronze), Marcus DeLeeuw (7-8 boys gold), Karson Mvula (7-8 boys silver), Jordyn Tarnes (9-10 girls gold), William Duncan (9-10 boys gold), Emily Tarnes (11-12 girls silver), Tristan Threinen (11-12 boys gold), Lucas Dzeryk (11-12 boys silver), Adah DeLeeuw (13-14 girls gold), Logan Marshall (1314 boys bronze), Carson Wheeler (also 13-14 boys bronze), Teaghen Hack (15-17 girls gold) and Jaiden Jocelyn (15-17 boys silver). The Eels will next hit the pool competitively in Swift Current July 22 and Gravelbourg July 23.

TO OUR TEAM!
I was born and raised on a farm in Southern Saskatchewan and was living in Medicine Hat when I received the opportunity for a promotion that would relocate us to Estevan in 2009. Without hesitation, my wife and I jumped at that chance to move closer to our roots and we have called Estevan home ever since. Our two children were both born in Estevan and we are very grateful to call this community our own. Coming from a background of nearly 10 years in modular construction as a sales and business manager, I have had the opportunity to work with a very broad and diverse range of people, ranging from first time home buyers to repeat buyers, from developers to investors, equity firms, and everyone in between. Given my previous experience I understand people, business, and most importantly, I understand that regardless of the type of transaction, you need someone who is honest, reliable, and can get the job done with the client’s best interest in mind. I look forward to working with you! 306-634-2628

Estevan Bruins hire marketing manager and assistant coach By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca
The Power Dodge Estevan Bruins were in the market for a marketing manager this off-season, and they managed to pick up one who will be an assistant coach for the team in one single hire. Carter Duffin, who comes to the city from Red Deer, has moved in now and is starting preparations for the 2017-18 season as the marketing manager and assistant coach with the team. “It was nice that I was able to spend some time in Estevan the week before and get acquainted with everybody and the board and some of our clients already, and of course a couple of rounds of golf,” said Duffin from the Bruins office at Affinity Place. Duffin said he is excited to continue the efforts that have been done
and the relationships that have been built in the community. “The business side is something I’ve been involved in in business development for the past six, seven years,” he said. “Expecially coming from an oil and gas background. The best part is I’m able to bridge the hockey operations and business operations with the dual role, where I’m able to be on the bench and still able to work on hockey operations and then connect that to the business.” The hybrid is a fairly rare thing at this level of hockey but Duffin, 31, is qualified. He was a former head coach with the Red Deer Elks Midget AA team in the South Central Alberta Hockey League a couple of years ago and last year an assistant coach/sales manager with the Virden Oil Capitals of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League.
It won’t be difficult to focus on one aspect of his job over the other, he feels. “They’re all connected,” he said. “Whether it’s dealing with our corporate partners and everybody in the community and even our players. At the end of the day there’s one goal and there’s one direction for this organization.” D u ff i n w i l l e n j o y working with the team’s on-ice product as well with head coach and general manager Chris Lewgood. “Chris has done a fantastic job over the last few years in building a winning organization,” Duffin said. “And to have the opportunity to come be a part of that really excited me. To gain Chris as a mentor for a young coach like myself is really exciting.” Although he hasn’t met any of the players yet, there will be plenty of time to do that before traning camp opens in September.

Tower Wolves hammer Windthorst Monday By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca
While the home run kings in the Major League Baseball Home Run Derby strutted their stuff, the Saskota Baseball League’s stars continued their feats for their home sides, scoring tons of runs in their games over the past week. There’s only a few
games left in the season but the teams gearing up for provincials are hitting their strides early. The Oxbow Chiefs came to Mets Field last Tuesday and knocked off the Southeast Fireballs 2212, part of four games that day. Thursday, the Fireballs travelled to Arcola and lost to the Threshers 18-5. Also on Thursday, the Estevan
Tower Wolves defeated the Carnduff Astros 15-5. On Saturday, the Windthorst Pirates hosted the Fireballs in a doubleheader with the final scores being 8-1 Windthorst and a 4-4 tie. T h e n o n M o n d a y, Windthorst again hosted an Estevan-based team with the Tower Wolves dominating 16-2.
The Tower Wolves tower atop the league standings in first place with a 12-2-1 record, ahead of Carlyle in second place at 11-3-3. The Fireballs are in last place at 0-14-2. The teams wrap up their regular seasons this week, with the Tower Wolves in Redvers Thursday to take on the As and the Fireballs going to Wawota Monday
to play the Pats. The league playoffs start July 28 with the start of the Harbourne Memorial Tournament. That continues until July 29-30 when the eight qualifying teams battle at Kenosee Lake to determine a league champion. The Senior Tier II provincials will take place in Yorkton Aug. 11-13. Taking
part in that tournament from the Saskota League will be Carlyle, the Tower Wolves and Oxbow. Carnduff will travel to Unity that weekend for the Tier III provincials, and Kenosee and Arcola will go to Standard Hill for the Tier IV provincials. Windthorst is hosting Tier V provincials this year, with Redvers also taking part.

The Southeast Bantam AAA Athletics were looking for better results in the Tier I AA provincials than they were able to get in the regular season, and accomplished that mission with a hard-earned silver medal in Unity last weekend. With only three second year players and eight rookies in the league, they played down a level after the regular season and found the success that had eluded them against the older AAA players. F r i d a y, t h e t e a m opened with an 8-7 victory against the Sask Five Giants, with Cade Bendtsen starting on the mound. He ended up striking out eight in the game before leaving in the sixth with a lead of 8-5. Reliever Kieren Benson picked up the game and ended up throwing out a runner trying to steal third base for the last out of the game. Kayden Lyons was 3-for-4 in the game and Jesse Schill hit a pair of doubles. Saturday morning, the A’s lost a close 5-4 game to the Muenster Red Sox. Bryson Andres pitched well in helping the A’s stake themselves out to a 4-0 lead but fielding issues allowed the Red Sox to tie and then take the lead on
a balk. In the bottom of the seventh inning, the A’s were caught stealing to end the game. Saturday, the As won a blowout extra inning 12-7 game with the Lloydminster Twins. Under the tournament rules system, everyone hit in the extra inning and the A’s piled up the runs while shutting down the Twins to earn a spot in the semifinal. The A’s jumped out to a 10-0 lead after the first two innings against the Prince Albert Royals, who waited until later in the game to make it closer. Ryland Meier hit a triple in the game that ended 12-8 for the A’s, and meant a spot in the final and a rematch with Lloydminster. A back and forth game started by pitcher Schill was 5-2 Twins before the A’s came back to load the bases for Schill. He and Ben Thompson hit a pair of two-RBI singles. At the end of the sixth, the A’s were up 8-7 but the Twins knocked out a two - run home run to take the lead in the seventh. The A’s tried to come back but left the tying run on first base to end the game 9-8 for Lloydminster.

Southeast crops in need of moisture The majority of crops across the province are developing normally, according to Saskatchewan Agriculture’s Weekly Crop Report released on Thursday. Fifty-six per cent of fall cereals, 64 per cent of spring cereals, 62 per cent of oilseeds and 75 per cent of pulse crops are at their normal stages of development for this time of year. Crop conditions vary greatly across the province and have deteriorated over the past few weeks due to hot temperatures and a lack of rain. Livestock producers now have 24 per cent of the hay crop cut and 39 per cent baled or put into silage. Hay quality is rated as 17 per cent excellent, 59 per cent good, 22 per cent fair and two per cent poor. Many hay swaths are significantly smaller than normal and pasture growth has been limited. Although some areas received moisture in early July, many areas still need significant rainfall to help crops develop and replenish the topsoil. Rainfall ranged from negligible amounts in most areas to 80 millimetres in the Kelvington area. Across the province, topsoil moisture on cropland is rated as two per
cent surplus, 41 per cent adequate, 46 per cent short and 11 per cent very short. Hay land and pasture topsoil moisture is rated as
three per cent surplus, 32 per cent adequate, 49 per cent short and 16 per cent very short. High temperatures and
a lack of rain continue to damage crops in the province. Many southern and central areas have received less than 100 millimetres
of moisture since April 1; some crops in these areas are short, thin and heading out and/or flowering earlier than normal due to
heat stress. Significant rain is needed to help crops fill and hay and pasture to grow.

She was released after being charged for operating a motor vehicle while over .08 and impaired driving. The car she was driving was seized and towed as well. Police were conducting a high visibility check stop, looking for impaired drivers along Highway 47 when a vehicle was noted to be approaching from the south. It stopped suddenly, and made a U-turn to avoid the check stop. When a police cruiser was sent to stop the vehicle, the occupants abandoned it and fled on foot into Woodlawn Regional Park. The occupants were not located but evidence was left at the scene to identify suspects, who are being asked to cooperate and turn themselves in for a speedy resolution to the matter. The public is also being asked to contact police if they saw any suspicious behaviour in and around the park. Police were alerted to an erratic driver who was on a highway towards the city during the July 16 day shift. Members located the vehicle and the driver was issued a ticket for speeding. A local resident called EPS to report damage to his door. It appears someone kicked in the door, but nothing was missing from the home.

Members came across an accident on Fourth Street just off of Kensington Avenue. Police checked both vehicles and learned that nobody was injured and both vehicles were still driveable. Both parties were sent to the police station to fill out paperwork and one driver was charged under the Traffic Safety Act for driving without due care and attention. Police made several traffic stops during the July 14 night shift to look for impaired drivers. The majority of the public had planned safe rides home from events that were held just outside of the city and those that were inside the city. One man blew a warning on the roadside device and had his licence suspended and vehicle seized for three days. Members received a couple of calls through the Report Impaired Drivers line. Both drivers were found to be sober but one driver was issued a ticket for driving without reasonable consideration for others as a result of his driving actions. Officers were alerted to

Saskatchewan’s Milkman’s Sons set to headline Beach Bash
By Jaime Polmateer jpolmateer@estevanmercury.ca
Beach Bash goers can expect some high calibre entertainment this year via the Milkman’s Sons as well as the two opening acts Private Drive and the Rum Runners. The event, which is put on by Woodlawn Regional Park, takes place at Boundary Dam beach site on July 28 – 29. Mickey Kupchyk, rhythm guitarist and vocalist for the Milkman’s Sons, said Friday night will be heavily focused on country songs with Private Drive warming up the crowd. Then Saturday will lean more on the rock and roll side, having the Rum Runners amp things up before the headliners take the stage. “We want the people who are going to come to know they’re going to have fun,” said Kupchyk. “We’re going to have fun; it’s going to be a big party. That’s what we really want out there, to keep the people entertained and we’re going to play some
good dance music for them.” The Estevan show is one of many the band has booked throughout the summer, with Kupchyk noting the Milkman’s Sons have performances set up every weekend right through to September and beyond. The band has been honing its show for a few years, added Kupchyk, tightening its performances and finding what songs work in a party setting and which ones fall short in terms of keeping the crowd going. A point of pride the musicians have added to the sets is a large $35,000 LED screen displayed behind the group while it plays so it can supplement the music with visuals, he said. “The same thing if you went to see Garth Brooks or Aerosmith, they got them big screens behind them,” said Kupchyk. “We have the same thing, it’s just not as big; we do a lot of things with it like run videos and different images and stuff like that while the band is performing, so it just adds to the whole
show — for us it’s all about the show.” A question that always seems to come up for the Milkman’s Sons is how it got its name, and if Kupchyk can be believed, it is indeed quite the story. According to the guitarist he had a precognitive dream when he was still a child — which is a dream that ends up coming true — and in that dream a raven spoke to him. The raven said to Kupchyk, “Your aunt is going to die.” Understandably, he woke up scared and told his parents what happened. “They told me not to worry and to go back to sleep,” he said.“At noon the next day we received a phone call telling us our aunt Emma had died.” Less than three weeks later Kupchyk was visited by the ominous bird in yet another dream, this time to tell him his father would die the next day. Unsure what to do he told his brother, then the pair approached their father

Photo Submitted about the raven’s prediction, but their dad once again said not to worry because it’s only a dream Despite this, he said his father looked shaken from what his sons had just told him. “All day long our daddy wasn’t himself; he kept looking around for some-
thing that might fall on his head, because the raven didn’t say how it was going to happen, just those words, ‘Your daddy is going to die,’” said Kupchyk. Their father left home early that morning and was gone much of the day. When he finally returned he looked awful, Kupchyk added, like
he was waiting for the axe to fall all day. He admitted to their mother that he’d had the worst day of his life.“‘You think you had a bad day?’ Mom replied, ‘This morning the milkman dropped dead on the front porch!’” Kupchyk said. “There you have it — the story is out.”
Putting the art in advertising Some local children came by the Estevan Mercury office for a tour Monday morning as part of the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum’s Art in Advertising Camp. During the camp, the children will create advertisements that will run in an edition of the Mercury in August.

Farmer brothers Baxter and Roland are sitting on their front porch drinking beer and watching the world go by. Literally! The highway was moved years ago, and now they are trying to figure out ways to get people to actually stop in their newly conceived prairie town. Suddenly, two very busy people from Toronto actually do stop! Existential, stubble-jumping fun ensues!
