Police find cocaine at Affinity Place The Estevan Police Service (EPS) is conducting an investigation after cocaine was found at Affinity Place during Tuesday night’s Power Dodge Estevan Bruins hockey game. According to police chief Paul Ladouceur a citizen located a substance in a plastic bag on the lobby floor and turned it over to the EPS. The bag was found outside the main washrooms. The substance later tested positive for cocaine. “The bag was seized and tagged to be destroyed after the powder was found to indeed be cocaine,” said Ladouceur. “When we tag an item for destruction it means that if there are no positive leads in a certain amount of time, the item will be destroyed. But we will certainly be carrying on our investigation, and will be looking at any video we can obtain, and talking to any potential witnesses we can find to determine where the drugs originated.” A large amount of children were present in the area, which is a cause for concern for the EPS. “We are urging parents to be cognisant, and to educate their children on the dangers of ingesting anything they find,” said Ladouceur. “The worst case scenario is a child could have found the package and thought it was candy or some kind of sugar and the results could have been catastrophic.”
According to Ladouceur the amount of cocaine found is often referred to as a “dime bag” and was most likely for personal consumption, and had an estimated street value of around $100. “We’re urging the community to report anything they find like this so we can investigate and take the proper steps,” said Ladouceur. “It’s a stark reminder of the drug situation in this community, and we will continue to work diligently to crack down on drugs and drug-trafficking in the community. We’ve said it time and time again, if you’re going to deal or traffic drugs in this community, you will be caught.” Police urge anyone in the community who finds a substance they believe to be narcotics to contact an officer so the substance can be properly disposed of. “If you find what you believe to be an illegal substance, and handling is necessary, we strongly encourage people to take the right precautions,” said Ladouceur. “Put on gloves or try to protect yourself in some way, and immediately contact police. Don’t try and throw out the product, just wait for police arrival so we can properly dispose of the substance.” Anyone with information regarding the drugs that were found is asked to contact the police.
Pete’s Run through the rain Late last week, American Peter Kostelnick ran through the city of Estevan on his way from Alaska to Key West, Florida. He ran 40-to-70 miles per day, even in conditions as inclement as we saw Friday. The self-supported Kostelnick ran from Weyburn to Estevan that day and as of Monday afternoon was midway through North Dakota. Photo by Corey Atkinson
City approves new cannabis policy The City of Estevan has adopted a new reasonable suspicion policy that will govern how it handles issues related to cannabis and alcohol use. In a document released at the Sept. 17 meeting of Estevan city council, the human resources department wrote that due to the legalization of cannabis, scheduled for Oct. 17, and the potential impact of medicinal cannabis in the workplace, the city is adopting the policy to add structure to its current practice of zero tolerance for drugs and alcohol in the workplace. It also sets specific criteria for employees when reasonable suspicion occurs within the workplace. “The intention of this program is prevention,” the report says. “The goal is to protect all employees, contractors, and private citizens from harm resulting in the use of drugs or alcohol.” Reasonable suspicion is based upon the employee’s conduct, as observed by a person in a management or supervisory capacity. The manager-supervisor or workplace
safety co-ordinator may come upon this knowledge firsthand, or may be advised by a person who has observed the employee in a state that gives rise to reasonable suspicion. If an employee has grounds to believe a manager or supervisor is in a state which creates reasonable suspicion, they will inform the manager or supervisor’s immediate supervisor. The determination that reasonable suspicion or cause exists must be based on specific, direct and factual observations concerning the appearance, behaviour, speech or body odours of the employee. Reasonable suspicion guideline testing is based upon suspicious actions or behaviours that indicate probable use of drugs or alcohol. The manager or supervisor will approach the employee in a respectful, quiet manner. If the primary manager suspects impairment they will inform the employee, and they will contact a second manager or supervisor, along with a
human resources (HR) and union representative, to conduct a secondary assessment. The HR representative will review the process, interview the employee and act as a resource. If the primary and secondary manager or supervisor are not in agreement regarding impairment, HRR will then either confirm or deny impairment. If impairment is confirmed, they will then contact the testing agency and the employee will be escorted to a certified drug or alcohol testing facility for testing. If impairment is denied, the employee will be immediately returned to work. “The City of Estevan is under a legal obligation to ensure health and safety in the workplace, which includes taking appropriate measures to prevent workplace accidents arising from the inappropriate use of alcohol and other substances,” the policy states. As for over-the-counter or prescription medications, employees are expected to investigate, through their
physician or pharmacist, whether a medication can affect safe operation, and to take appropriate steps to minimize associated risks, including notifying their manager or supervisor if the medication could affect the safe performance of their duties. Also, employees shall not report for duty or remain on duty while having a blood alcohol concentration of .04 per cent or greater. An employee who is tested and found to have an alcohol concentration of at least .04 per cent, will be subject to an immediate leave of absence without pay pending a further assessment with a substance abuse professional. An employee who is tested and found to have alcohol concentration of less than .04 per cent but greater than or equal to .02 per cent, will immediately be removed from the workplace without pay until at least the start of the employee’s next regularly scheduled duty, and in the case not less than 24 hours following administration of the test.
As for cannabis, the policy states that the legalization of marijuana or an authorization or prescription for medical cannabis does not give the employee the right to use it in the workplace. “Both the city and the employee are subject to specific obligations with respect to the use of medical cannabis in the workplace,” the policy states. Those in safety-sensitive positions or duties, such as those who operate heavy equipment, are required to immediately disclose the use of medical cannabis to their manager or supervisor. Accommodations for medical cannabis are assessed on an individual basis. The policy will be monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure it continues to meet its objectives and that it remains responsive to current and evolving needs. It will also be subject to formal evaluation within one year after implementation and on a regular basis thereafter.

Hall Funeral Services celebrates 10 year anniversary A by-donation barbecue was held at Hall Funeral Services on Sept. 21 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. Burgers, hotdogs, refreshments and desserts were made available to those in attendance, with proceeds going towards the annual United Way Telethon event which is being held in October.
Police assist with missing person, locate drugs Members of the Estevan Police Service (EPS) were alerted to a missing persons case during the Sept. 18 night shift. Police were called to assist in locating a missing 13-year-old girl. An address was given as a possible location.The young girl was located and returned home to her mother. In other police news, police called to do check on a male subject that is on electronic monitoring during the Sept. 16 day shift. The alarm went off and investigation determined the man did not breach any conditions. Members responded to an alarm on the northwest
area of the city – the residence was found secure. Key holders were located and advised of the alarm. Officers responded to a call of a female reporting that her license plate was stolen off her vehicle while it sat in the parking lot of Wal-Mart. Police are attempting to review video to identify the suspect. If anyone saw suspicious activity in that area please call police or crime stoppers. Police charged a 51 yearold-female with theft under $5,000. The charges are stemming from a wallet that was turned into police the day before.
Officers received a call about a possible impaired driver. The man was located and provided samples of breath. The man was under the .08 level but was over the provincial level of .04. The license was suspended and the vehicle was seized. Police assisted in the safe moving of a building from the city’s south end and out of city limits on the east end during the Sept. 17 day shift. No major issues were encountered and traffic disruption was down to a minimum as it only took about 30 minutes for the building to be moved out of the city. Members also dealt with several business alarms where it was learned that an employee had accidently set off the alarm. No further police action was required. Police then received a report of a person witnessing a Downtown Estevan ∙ 24 Hr Movie Information Line ∙ 306-634-2321 vehicle hitting another vehicle and leaving the scene without stopping and reporting it to the other party. Police are now investigating the matter.

over. He was subsequently released from hospital with only minor injuries and was held in cells until sober. Police were called to a disturbance on the south end of the City. Suspects involved in the incident had left prior to police arrival. They were spoken to by phone and warned to stay away. Police were called to an incident on the north side of the city just after 6:00 p.m. during the Sept. 17 night shift. A 41-year-old man was arrested for assault. He was released before a Justice of the Peace later on in the evening. Officers were called to an alarm at a business on Fifth Street. The building was checked and appears to be a false alarm. Police called to a disturbance on the south end of the city. The residents of the address were spoken to and one departed for the night. Nothing criminal occurred at the residence so there was no further action needed by police. Members had a call about a possible impaired driver leaving a downtown establishment. One of the suspect vehicles was located and the driver was checked on the roadside-

Participants learned to belly dance at this year’s Women’s Cultural Dance and Art night hosted by Southeast Newcomer Services at the Western Star hotel in Estevan on Sept. 22. The event saw women from varying cultures coming together to learn about each other and express their cultures through art and dance.
Southeast Newcomer Services hosts Women’s Cultural Dance and Art night By Brady Bateman bbateman@estevanmercury.ca
Este van’s S outheast Newcomer Services hosted a Women’s Cultural Dance and Art night at Western Star hotel on Sept. 22 and saw dozens of local women participating in various cultural art and dance related activities. The evening, which went from 6 – 9 p.m., had a dinner, painting, henna tattooing and cultural dancing and was hosted to encourage women in the community to form friendships and learn about
others cultures according to Stephanie Davis, information service advisor for Southeast Newcomer Services. “We just want to celebrate different cultures of women in the community and come together to form some lasting female bonds,” said Davis. “We have dancing and food as well as some traditional henna tattooing and of course some different cultural dancing.” A $25 registration fee was required for participants, a change from last year’s event,
which was free. But according to Davis she is hopeful that in the future the event will return to being free for participants. “Unfortunately this year we weren’t able to receive one of the grants that we apply for to cover our costs, which is understandable considering how many companies have fantastic programs and ideas that they need help funding,” said Davis. “I had people telling me as they were leaving how much they loved the night and asking me to make sure
that this event keeps going in the future so no matter what I have to do I’m going to do whatever I can to try and make sure we can keep going in the future. According to Davis the importance of the evening was to allow women to connect with each other in an environment where there are no pressures and allow cultures to be shared and appreciated between women in the community. “I think the dancing we’re going to be doing is really important. Women really
let loose and express themselves when they are dancing and it’s a great way to make new friends,” said Davis. “And we also have the henna tattooing which is a different culture of visual art that allows you to wear the art on your body and see different cultures. Plus the dancing is all culturally inspired and is a really great way for us all to have some fun and get to know each other.” Roughly 30 women participated in the event, ranging from a variety of different cultures. Some participants
dressed in culturally inspired outfits and all spent the evening sharing their culture through art and dance. “ We just really want to thank our sponsor SaskCulture. Without them we wouldn’t be able to host events like this and continue to support women in the community,” said Davis. “And I really want to thank everyone for supporting Southeast Newcomer Services and coming out to our events because nights like this really help keep our community together and strong.”
Community garden wrapping up another year The green thumbs who are part of the Estevan Community Gardens were largely pleased with the produce they were able to grow this year. The 18 garden beds that are located within the community garden’s site on Lynd Crescent were all rented out this year. Multiple gardeners rented out more than one bed. “It’s always nice when you can get a couple of beds side by side,” said Courtney Shackleton with the community gardens. “”It just gives you more space, because for things like tomatoes and certain plants that are fairly large,
it can take up a lot of your garden.” There were a lot of tomatoes at the garden that looked great, she said. The cherry tomatoes did particularly well. People grew lettuce, cucumbers, spinach and Swiss chard. Radishes looked very nice at the beginning of the year, and there were lots of peas and beans. “I think people did fairly well at the garden this year for how things grew, especially considering how dry it was,” said Shackleton The community garden has always battled vandalism
and damage, and Shackleton said this year it was particularly discouraging because a lot of new members were part of the gardens. It didn’t give people a good first impression about the experience. The garden committee has been brainstorming ideas on how they can curb the vandalism issue. It might involve educating the public about the role of the garden. “I think a lot of people might have the wrong idea of what the gardens are. Because it’s called a community garden, some people might think all the produce is available to
the community, but that is definitely not the case. “People pay fees to be able to garden there. They tend to the gardens all year long, on their own. It’s completely on their own. There’s no community assistance in that sense to growing everything. It’s your own to take care of.” But the garden group hopes the vandalism won’t deter people from returning next year and renting beds again. Outside of the vandalism, people were pretty happy with the experience and the produce they were able to grow.
“If there are any new gardeners who are thinking about coming on board, they might be opening up in the spring,” said Shackleton, who added the community garden is always looking for new members. The community garden had a partnership with the Estevan Public Library this year for a seed read program, in which the garden committee brought pictures of the garden and talked about gardening to young people in attendance. The children who attended the program planted some seeds and brought some

home to grow something of their own. “They got to practice growing and see what it was like and talk about it, and we read some books about gardening and about planting trees, and gardening in general and what it entails,” said Shackleton. Southeast Newcomer Services also held their annual gardening competition at the garden for the second consecutive year. Shackleton said the garden committee is always open to people who want to use their site for an event.

EDITORIAL
The countdown is on Where have the last three years gone? Justin Trudeau has been prime minister since October 2015, and we’re now just over a year away from the next federal election. We’d like to say the son of Pierre Trudeau has been a success as prime minister. After all, Canada needs to have a strong leader at the helm of the country, someone who is strong at forging and maintaining relationships, representing the country on the international stage, creating and developing legislation, and budgeting the country’s finances. We would be lying if we praised him on many of those fronts. Trudeau: The Sequel certainly has his strong points. But we’ve also seen he can’t balance a budget, he’s weak when it comes to legislation, and he has been, at times, an embarrassment on the international stage. Remember three years ago when he proclaimed “Canada is back” during a climate conference in Paris? We’re not sure if “Canada is back” included billion-dollar deficits and an embarrassing foreign trip to India. We hope that’s not how The Sequel defines our country. We’ve seen him completely botch the energy file through his handling of the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion. We watched him unnecessarily target small businesses with changes to the tax structure. We saw him give $10 million to
Omar Khadr. And we’re watching him try to ramrod a carbon tax down the throats of provinces, even though the provinces have a much better grasp of how to address climate than he does. Three years ago, Trudeau looked to be a long-term choice as prime minister. He ran a fantastic campaign to pull away and win a strong majority in what was, at one time, a tight threehorse race. But now it appears he will be in a battle to get a minority government in the next election. He’s going to need a strong final year, and we’re not sure if he can do it. The opposition Conservative government suddenly finds itself in a position that many didn’t expect even 18 months ago: they have a shot at winning the next federal election. They’re likely still the underdogs, but that doesn’t mean they’ll be the underdogs in a year. Federal Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has to up his game. He not only has to appeal to the Conservative base, but he has to find a way to appeal to the independent and undecided voters who might not be sold on him. And he has to be wary of the new People’s Party of Canada, founded by former Tory leadership foe Maxime Bernier. It’s unlikely that Bernier’s party will take a big bite out of Scheer’s support across the country in the next election, but Bernier’s party could do a lot of damage if it cuts into the Tory support in key battleground
ridings. Scheer also has to continue to distance his party from hard right wing voters, even if it means those voters turn to Bernier’s party. As for the federal New Democratic Party (NDP), they’re back to being the federal NDP: a respectable third party that gets around 20 per cent of the vote, and collects a few dozen seats across the country. Jagmeet Singh had a lot of hype and promise when he became the NDP leader. He’s undeniably talented and charismatic. But at times, it seems like he’s in over his head. He’s only running for a seat in the House of Commons now. He’ll likely win that by-election, but he should have been in the House of Commons long ago so he could give his party a voice while standing up to the federal Liberals. The NDP has often teetered on irrelevant during the past 12 months, and it’s largely because they have a leader without a presence. There’s still time for the NDP to regroup, but those who have been hoping for the party to regain its results from the 2011 federal election will be disappointed. At the same time, we’ll have to watch and see whether the NDP winds up taking away support from the Liberals in key urban ridings. The derby to be the next prime minister of Canada is on.
Paying three times on Trans Mountain. What else would you expect? How do you like paying for the same thing three times? Because that’s what we’re doing, if this Trans Mountain Expansion Project ever goes ahead. Now, to be clear, it’s not all of it – just a small portion. But we are most certainly paying for it. What I’m referring to is the preliminary work that was done on the project. Surveyors tromped all over hill and dale, marking the right of way, centre of ditch, the existing pipe, and any other lines crossing the planned route. They hammered in colour-coded stakes by the gazillion along the first construction phases of the route. Hydrovac trucks had gone out in earnest, finding all the other line crossings using a process sometimes referred to as daylighting. The hydrovac workers use a giant wash wand, similar to what you would see in a car wash, but much more powerful. They use it to liquify the dirt and wash it away while a giant vacuum mounted on a boom of a very large truck sucks away the mud. This is done to find the telephone, fibre optic, power, oil or gas pipelines whose precise position you really need to know before an excavator bucket does it the hard way. If you lived anywhere along the rightof-way, you would have surely seen the high numbers of wide loads going by as large semis pulling lowboy trailers first brought the heavy equipment like excavators, dozers, and forestry equipment, first to the marshalling yards, then to the right-of-way kickoff. Those marshalling yards would be chock-full of shacks, warehouse trailers, fueling stations, skids, and every sundry thing you can think of needed to build a pipeline.
From the Top of the Pile BRIAN ZINCHUK It is my understanding that when the Federal Court of Appeal quashed the permits to build the expansion project, not only did work stop, but it was reversed. Every one of those stakes had to be pulled. All the hydrovac holes had to be refilled. Access ramps had to be taken out. All equipment had to leave the right-of-way, not simply be parked for a rapid return to work. All the signage, much of it custom made, had to be removed. There’s to be no trace of this work that has taken place. I don’t think they’re going to be putting back the trees that were cleared, but I wouldn’t be surprised, either. But it gets better. The equipment didn’t just get sent back to the marshalling yards along the right-of-way. No sir. Those marshalling yards had to be fully demobilized by the end of September. Nothing left. So the pipeline construction contractors had to pull all their iron out and send it back to wherever it came from, i.e. Edmonton, Fort St. John, wherever. To be clear: Trans Mountain, when it was still Kinder Morgan, paid to have all the initial mobilization, surveying, hydrovacing, access and signage work to be done. We, the taxpayer, then paid an obscene amount for the Trans Mountain pipeline. That included the associated expansion project which has not been built, and whose permit has just been quashed. Thus, we have paid a very high price for the work Kinder Morgan had already done. Trans Mountain became a Crown corpo-
ration, meaning we now own it, and pay for everything it pays for. Trans Mountain then is paying for the full demobilization that took place in September, post-judgement, postownership change. The federal government then, on Sept. 21, sent the project back to the National Energy Board for consideration of the issues the court said were missed, namely tanker traffic’s impact on the southern resident orca (“killer whale”) population, and for consultation with First Nations. This is supposed to be completed within 22 weeks. Given it took the better part of a month do start this, it means a full six months will be lost, minimum. If, presumably, “This pipeline will be built,” as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau likes to say, that means that some time after six months has passed (and closer to a year, due to the timing of migratory birds movements, but that’s a whole other column), the project will go ahead. That means we will pay, again, for the surveying to be done, again. We will pay for the hydrovacing to be done, again. We will pay for the signage to be installed, again. We will pay for the mobilization of all the equipment from the contractors’ yards to the marshalling yards, and then the right-of-way, again. We will pay for all of this. Need I remind you that there was a private company willing to pay for all of this, on their own dime, just a few months ago? But due to the colossal screw up in the handling of this file by the federal government, to get back to where we were on Sept. 1, we will have paid for all this work three times instead of once. Put that in your pot pipe and smoke it, Prime Minister Trudeau. Brian Zinchuk is editor of Pipeline News. He can be reached at brian.zinchuk@sasktel.net.

The Estevan Comprehensive School Elecs football team won a game for the first time since 2016, with a hard-earned victory over the Vanier Vikings. The victory of the football team, and the subsequent showers of athletic drinks don’t happen too often but when they do happen it’s cause to take notice. Exactly how rare and sweet that win has been since Estevan joined the Moose Jaw High School Football League in 2009? It was their fifth win in the program’s 10th year in the Moose Jaw high school football circuit. There have been six years where the team lost all six regular season games it played, including the 2017 season. Last year, Vanier beat the Elecs in Moose Jaw 48-8 in the season opener for both teams. Last year’s closest contest was the Oct. 5 game against Moose Jaw Central at Woodlawn where the Cyclones won 38-28. This was after the Elecs fell behind 32-6 at halftime. At the time, Elecs head coach Mark Schott said: “I said from the start of the season that we’re young and inexperienced and we’re gaining experience as the season goes on… We return a large portion of our team which is really exciting for next year. But we lose some key players in that seven that are departing.” In last year’s playoff battle at Moose Jaw’s Gutheridge Field, the Peacock Tornadoes took it to the Elecs, winning 49-6. It was the last game of high school football for a few members of the team and I’m sure once news of last Tuesday’s win came, they shared a smile with friends. The Elecs’ offensive and defensive lines have done well this season in either getting pressure to the quarterback or supplying running space for the running backs this year. The rest of the season will see the Elecs play three more games. All three of them will be a challenge, as the Swift Current Colts (3-1) and Yorkton Raiders (3-0), two teams that made it to the league final last year, are on the docket. The Moose Jaw Central Cyclones defeated Swift Current 37-10 on Saturday and are making their case to be included in the conversation for who is the best in the league with a 3-1 record. In the Elecs’ only other two-win season in the Moose Jaw league, they defeated a winless Swift Current team twice in 2011. The other seasons in which they’ve won a game have been single win seasons (2016 and 2013, both wins over Vanier). They’ve never beaten Moose Jaw Central or Yorkton since at least joining the Moose Jaw league, and it would seem to be a longshot to expect them to win this year. Moose Jaw’s 3A football league, one of the best in the province, has been a tough climb in the past for the Elecs. But that climb seems to be finally reaching some sort of solid footing. I’ve had the pleasure of watching all their games this year and there are young players like Travis Eagles, Kaleb Bechtold and James Knibbs that have improved leaps and bounds since the start of the season already. Even through the chill and cold of Saturday’s seemingly endless loss to Weyburn, there were players still wanting to make plays, improving the execution of their tackling and Eagles’ ability to hit the holes the offensive line created improved from the previous couple of games. While the fourth quarter of the Weyburn game is best off forgotten, as long as defensive backs like Rylan Erdelyan and Jonah Bachorcik can stay on the field and healthy, they’ve got legitimate threats for interceptions. Eagles, sometimes playing in more of a safety’s role, can do this as well on those passing plays in the middle of the field. All this is great news for the Elecs, who have had issues collecting victories other than the moral kind over the past ten seasons. For the first time in awhile, it feels like the fruits of the work of people like Schott and the entire coaching staff are turning the Elecs into something of a program, much like other schools have had. This year’s team will likely take a few lumps in the last half of their season but they’ll play their tails off until the end of the game each week and that will produce its own fruit. It remains to be seen how well it will continue, but it isn’t at all out of the question to project ECS as a team to beat in 2019 and beyond.

Theft incidents up, impaired driving down in August The number of people that the Estevan Police Service (EPS) apprehended in August for theft charges was up compared to last year. Statistics released at Wednesday ’s meeting of the Estevan board of police commissioners showed that 13 charges were laid for theft under $5,000 last month, compared to nine in August 2017. “Keep in mind that those numbers, as I’ve said many times, you can have an extra two offences in a community this size and it can throw the numbers off,” said Police Chief Paul Ladouceur. The Estevan Police Service laid 124 charges for theft under $5,000 in the first eight months of this year, compared with 90 in the first eight months of 2018. The number of impaired driving related incidents in the city has continued to decline, with 10 arrests for impaired driving last month, compared to 20 in August 2017. The year-todate statistics showed that charges were laid against 91
individuals in the first eight months of this year, compared with 116 in the first eight months of 2017. Among other notable crime statistics from August was a significant decrease in the number of cases of mischief and wilful damage in August, as it fell from 18 in August 2017 to eight in August 2018. Ladouceur said that allow some numbers are higher, the total number of calls for service were done roughly 200 for August of this year, compared to August 2017, with 577 calls for service this year, compared to 737 in August of 2017. In the first eight months of this year, the EPS has had 83 crimes against the person, with 65 for assault, 14 for sexual crimes and four for assault causing bodily harm. There have been 231 crimes against property, with 10 of those for theft over $5,000, 62 for mischief or wilful damage, 18 for theft of a motor vehicle and 124 thefts under $5,000. Ye a r - t o - d a t e t h e r e
has been sixty drug related charges laid, with fifty-three for possession and seven for trafficking. And there have been 95 Criminal Code traffic violations, including the 91 for impaired driving, and four for dangerous driving and other charges. *** The August report for Spec. Const. Josie Newton, the city’s bylaw enforcement officer, showed there were 80 occurrences last month, with animal calls leading the way with 23. Among other notable
violations were 13 parking violations and 21 unkempt property inspections. *** Changes were also proposed to the city’s snowmobile route bylaw. The proposed changes would see the snowmobile route changed slightly, as the current route passes through a busy parking lot, which is a cause for concern to the EPS. A map of the proposed change was provided to those in attendance of the meeting. However, because the bylaw needs to pass through city council first, there may be changes made to the proposal.

Retailer preparing for cannabis legalization
By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca
The retailer that will be selling cannabis in Estevan – as well as three other communities – is hopeful they will be ready once cannabis becomes legal in Canada on Oct. 17. Jimmy’s Cannabis Shop (formerly Prairie Sky Cannabis) won the lottery earlier this year to determine the single cannabis permit for each of Estevan, Battleford, Martensville and Moosomin. Owner John Thomas, who operates the company with his brother David, said they have been very busy in the lead-up to Oct. 17. The company is on schedule to be open in Estevan for the legalization date, but the timeline is very tight. “Any delay, no matter how minor, we are going to miss it,” said John Thomas. “I am confident that we will open in October in Estevan, but Oct. 17? If everything goes perfectly, we will be open.” The stores in Martensville and Battleford are slightly ahead
of schedule versus Estevan because Jimmy’s Cannabis didn’t have to go through the discretionary use process in those two communities. Moosomin will likely be the last of the four to open. Staffing isn’t an issue in Estevan, he said. The issue has to do with the renovation of the location in a strip mall off of Kensington Avenue. The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) has to complete an inspection before the outlet can open. “Once they’ve done an inspection, then we can have product delivered,”said Thomas. “But to have the product delivered, we have to pass the inspection, and to pass the inspection, we need to have the build finished.” In addition to retail locations, Jimmy’s will have an e-commerce site that will offer online customers the same shopping experience and selection. Purchases can be picked up in-store or delivered through Canada Post. Jimmy’s Cannabis Shop
won the lone permit available for Estevan in June. Estevan city council approved the company’s location in July. Since that time, the company has been working with SLGA to meet regulations and get its floor designed approved. The company has also been making sure its software component meets federal regulations and SLGA rules for inventory controls and sales, and it has been meeting with the City of Estevan on its business licence. “Because it’s a new legalized market, there’s no out of the box solution that’s created to work for that,” he said. The company announced on Sept. 12 that it had rebranded under the name Jimmy’s Cannabis Shop. There was already a company named Prairie Cannabis in Prince Albert, and a Living Skies Cannabis in Saskatoon, so the company changed its name to differentiate itself from those two entities. Thomas said they came up with the new name because they wanted to have a name that’s
unique, and the name goes with the fit of the store. “It goes with what we’re trying to create, which is your local, neighbourhood cannabis shop,” said Thomas. “It’s really important to be focused on education, comfort and our Saskatchewan values.” They knew there would be a lot of hurdles to clear, and they would have to do it quickly. It would be tight to be open by Oct. 17, especially since they’re operating four stores that are spread out across the province. “Normally the process for that would have been more than five months,” said Thomas. “It’s been a challenge, but most of it has been expected.” Both brothers have quit their jobs to focus on the venture full-time, because it has proven to be a large project. Thomas said the City of Estevan has been excellent to work with. Land development services manager Richard Neufeld has been very helpful, and the company is trying to go through all of the proper procedures before opening.
“It’s a little bit of a skeleton staff, so we’re doing our best to meet whatever needs our shortterm campers have here.” Many of the campers they’ll have this month are people who are passing through Estevan and want to camp out for the night. “We get a fair number of people that are travelling to and from Alaska who are staying,” said Daoust. The number of seasonal campers was around 100 at the Boundary Dam site, she said, and there were fewer seasonals for the Woodlawn campground. Those numbers are down, she said, as they had open seasonal sites, a contrast to some years in the past when Woodlawn had a wait list for seasonals. Daoust believes it might be a reflection of the economic downturn catching up with some people, and therefore they have to make some choices. “ We did still have a few people come in partway through the season, though,
as seasonal campers, to join our park family,” said Daoust. “We’re always on the lookout (for campers), and we’ve had a few people inquiring about a site for next year.” The park did encounter some challenges this year. A severe thunderstorm on June 14 knocked down numerous trees in the park. A contractor had to be hired for tree removal. Volunteers also turned out to help out with the cleanup. Daoust also took over as the business manager at the beginning of the season, after the park opened. The park also had a new maintenance manager. There were issues associated with the late arrival of spring-like temperatures, and the park also received a donation of 2,000 trees. But there were highlights, such as the Family Fun Day in July which took the place of Beach Bash. Saskatchewan Express performed at the stage at the Boundary Dam site for the second straight year, and
the park hopes a Saskatchewan Express concert can become an annual event. “They’re very entertaining, and I think it’s something that the park likes to partner with and promote,” said Daoust. Smokey the Bear visited the park, and Daoust isn’t sure when that has happened before. And there were a couple of day events for seasonal campers. Daoust hopes those special events can extend to short-term campers next year. The park is also trying to do more promotion to make the public more aware of what it has to offer during the summer months. While the park is closed to camping next week, that doesn’t

Woodlawn enjoyed another busy summer
By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca
It’s been an active and at times a challenging year for Woodlawn Regional Park. The park’s camping season will wrap up on Sept. 30, after nearly five months of camping for seasonal and short-term campers alike. The number of non-seasonal campers was definitely up, according to park business manager Maureen Daoust. It’s been particularly busy at the Souris River campground, which was as full as it’s been since the flood 2011. The Boundary Dam location had some busy weekends as well, she said. Both seasonal and shortterm campers can still enjoy camping at the park until the closing date on Sept. 30. “The hours are kind of sporadic,” said Daoust. “Most of our summer staff is university kids … so obviously they’re all back to hitting the books.

Seasonal campers could be found at the Boundary Dam campground this camping season. File photo mean it has hosted the last of its activities for the year. It will host the second annual Christmas in the Park on Dec. 16. The Festival of Lights will start that day as well, and continue until the end of the year. The Festival of Lights
will offer a twinkle tour with local businesses and restaurants participating. “There was a really good response … from the community for that last year, and it was an awesome event that the park could hold in the offseason,” said Daoust.

Federal cabinet directs NEB to reconsider Trans Mountain recommendations related to marine shipping (Daily Oil Bulletin) – The National Energ y Board (NEB) says it has received a federal cabinet order requiring it to reconsider its recommendations on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion as they are relevant to project-related marine shipping. The government has directed the work be completed within 155 days. The directive is in response to an Aug. 30 Federal Court of Appeal decision which quashed the cabinet approval of the expansion project and nullified the certificate issued by the NEB. In its referral, the cabinet refers back to the NEB for reconsideration its recommendations and all the terms and conditions set out in the board’s May 19, 2016 report on the Trans Mountain expansion that are relevant to addressing the issues specified by the appeal court. The board is directed to conduct the reconsideration taking into account: The environmental effects of project-related marine shipping in view of the requirements of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012; and The adverse effects of project-related maritime shipping on species at risk, including the Northeast Pacific southern resident killer
whale population and their critical habitat, in view of any requirements of Section 79 of the Species at Risk Act (SARA) that may apply to the project. The NEB said it is confident that it will be able to complete the work within the required timeline and promised to provide more information regarding next steps in the coming days. However, Alberta Senator Doug Black, in a statement on Sept. 24, expressed disappointment at what he sees as a slow and incomplete federal government plan. The government, he said, has not provided any specifics on additional Indigenous consultation measures — also directed by the court — saying only that more details will be coming soon. “ This announcement will not fast forward action to reverse the loss of jobs and the serious negative financial impact on Canadian families,” said Black. “There is no sense of urgency by the government, and this results in a loss of jobs and opportunities.” He reiterated his call for the government to adopt his proposed Trans Mountain Pipeline Project Act, declaring Trans Mountain and its related works to be in the general interest of Canada, which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has publicly agreed
with, according to Black. The timeline for the review, stretching to late February 2019, allows the government to potentially restart construction before the expected spring election in Alberta. Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi, in Halifax, declined to say when construction could resume. “ We are not focused on election cycles. We are focused on what needs to be done right,” he said. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said today the 22week regulatory timeline set by the federal government is “reasonable” and is in line with what her government knew was the best case scenario when the appeal court issued its ruling. The issue now is to ensure that “the timeline is set in stone,” she told a news conference in Edmonton. “And if it starts to slip and the goalposts shift, I can assure you that the voices of Albertans will be loud ... but through my government they will be heard.” Notley acknowledged that her government still remains “a little bit skeptical” about the federal process as it believed there was a way in which Ottawa could assert its authority over the NEB legislation to close loopholes that might be “gamed” by legal advocates who are simply
doing everything they can to stop the pipeline expansion. That’s why it will be watching the process so closely, she said. “We will not tolerate legal game playing and should it start to appear that game playing is working, we will hold Ottawa’s feet to the fire.” If the timeline starts to slide and persons are successfully able to argue it should take longer than 22 weeks, the province will ask the federal government to step in with a legislative fix because “we can’t let the game playing within the legal system go on indefinitely.” At the end of the day, what matters most to the government, workers and investors is that there is a credible timeline in place on which they will be able to make plans, she said. Notley said it is premature at this point to say when project construction might resume because the federal government has not yet indicated how it intends to deal with additional Indigenous consultation after it receives the report from the NEB in mid-February. “The reality is that if you impose an arbitrary deadline on the accommodation and consultation process, you undermine the credibility of that process from the getgo and you give opponents greater opportunity to con-
test it in yet another court case.” Courts have laid out over time, in cases where consultation is deemed to be adequate, ranges of between five and eight months, she said. In the case of Trans Mountain, the court has said that while much of the consultation has been done, more is to be done. “What we need is a timeline that is reasonable, where the issues that are at play are clearly understood by everybody and people can move forward.” In the meantime, Alberta is going to continue to push very hard across the country to grow the support and understanding in all provinces of the need for the Trans Mountain expansion, said Notley. “We need to grow the sense of urgency on the part of working people in other parts of the country who do depend on this, whether they know it or not right now.” Through that work, she suggested, “the pressure will be even stronger on the federal government.” B.C. government reaction “Since the Federal Court of Appeal’s ruling, our government has been reviewing the decision to determine the full implications. The federal government’s announcement provides further context for our ongoing study of the judgment,” said B.C. Environment
Minister George Heyman. “From the beginning, our government has raised concerns about the failure of the federal process to properly consider the risks to B.C. from increased tanker traffic. The court’s decision and the federal government’s announcement validate those concerns.” He added: “We are looking forward to seeing the details, but any further review process must comprehensively address the risks that our government, and many British Columbians, have been raising.” The court also found that the federal government failed to adequately consult First Nations. Meaningful consultation is critical to any future actions, the minister said. “A diluted bitumen spill would present a threat to our coast and the tens of thousands of jobs that rely on the coast. We will continue to defend B.C.’s interests.”

July 1, and also I’ve seen the Drewitz School of Dance,” said Stephanie Kane Davis, the information services advisor for SNS. “They’ve been in a few events around town.” Kane Davis is looking forward to seeing the different performers who will take to the stage. Cultural foods and drinks will include Asian and Filipino cuisine, a Mediterranean food, East Indian food, Indigenous cuisine, baking, pastries and bubble tea. Some of the foods have been featured in the International Kitchen offered by SNS. Vendor tables will be set up at Collage. “There will be different displays. Some of them will
be selling cultural items that they make and create, so it will be fun to come and see the different cultural stuff,” said Kane Davis. The Souris Valley Museum will be present for some cultural activities. Khushala Raval is providing henna tattooing. Kane Davies believes Collage is an opportunity to create awareness of the different cultures in the region. “We like to have the opportunity to provide events where people can help bond together, get over cultural differences, and learn from each other,” said Kane Davis. SNS is holding Collage in conjunction with Culture Days, which is a nationwide initiative to celebrate culture in the region.

Carlisle edges Gedak for provincial high school golf championship in North Battleford
Through wind and snow, Jace Carlisle was able to repeat as Saskatchewan High School Athletics Association gold medalist by beating Estevan Comprehensive School teammate Chase Gedak by one stroke in North Battleford this weekend. Carlisle (79-75-154) and Gedak (74-81-155) were the top two finishers in the boys division, while the Elecs team (465) was second only to Prince Albert Carlton (463) in the team division to earn a silver medal. Carlton’s Cole Jenkins (78-79-157) was the provincial individual bronze medal winner. Jean-Luc Dupuis (8887-175) ended up in 21st place while Drew Fenwick (91-89-180) placed 31st in the boys division.

Concussion claims hockey career of Bruins’ Chekay A potentially great power forward for the Power Dodge Estevan Bruins has had to curtail his hockey career with the Bruins due to concussions. Matthew Chekay, 19, suffered a concussion in the first game of his Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League season against the Melville Millionaires Sept. 14 and the Bruins announced the retirement of Chekay this week. “It’s not an easy decision, but after careful consideration, I’ve decided it is in my long term best interest to move on from contact hockey,” said Chekay in a press release from the Bruins.
Chekay made the Bruins out of training camp last year and worked his way to a third and fourth line role with occasional jumps to the top two lines due to suspensions and injuries. He fought more last year than he ever did and sustained an injury with a hit in Weyburn last season. Chekay scored seven goals and eight assists for 15 points in 37 games for the Bruins in the regular season last year, and added two assists in 13 playoff games. He joined the Bruins after a three-year stint with the Regina Pat Canadians of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA
Bruins drop Showcase opener to Kindersley It was only Monday but it’s already been a bit of an up and down week for the Power Dodge Estevan Bruins. The Bruins found out they were ranked sixth in the country in the CJHL rankings, five spots behind the Nipawin Hawks for tops in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL). The Bruins then took on the Kindersley Klippers in their opening game of the SJHL Showcase at Warman and lost 4-2. The teams were tied 1-1 after the first when the Bruins had to come back after surrendering a goal on the Klippers’ first shot of the game. Turner Ripplinger’s sixth goal of the year at 13:24 on the power play brought the game within even. Kindersley scored early in the second period
but Isaiah Thomas’ second of the year brought the game even once again. But it was the third period where the Bruins fell behind and couldn’t come back. Brett Neumeier’s first of the year at 11:00 of the third was followed by a furious attack from the Bruins in the final half, until Devon Cyr scored into the empty net for Kindersley to give the Klippers the win. Justen Close, the SJHL’s top goalie last year, was brilliant in stopping 24 of 26 Bruin shots while Jake Anthony held off 23 of the 26 shots he saw. The Bruins’ next action is at 1 p.m. Tuesday afternoon in Warman against the Humboldt Broncos. The Bruins’ busy week continues Thursday with a game in Kindersley and Friday in the Battlefords.
U-
Hockey League, scoring 27 goals and 47 assists over 124 games in the regular season and participating in the 2015 Telus Cup national midget championship. “Matthew has worked very hard at becoming the player he is today, and it seems unfair that it be taken away from him like this. That being said, ‘Cheks’ has an incredibly bright future ahead of him away from the ice and this decision is clearly the right one for his long-term health,” said Bruins head coach and general manager Chris Lewgood in the release.

Atom Cudas tie Weyburn to open Football Day in Estevan By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca
When the weather is nice, an aerial attack is more possible in football. But when it’s like it was Saturday morning, with a biting wind and cold temperatures, the ground game in the 12-12 tie between the Estevan Power Dodge atom Cudas and Weyburn Cardinals at Woodlawn Park is about as good as you can ask for. “The weather dictated that there were a lot of run plays,” said Kevin Mortenson, head coach of the Cudas. “The kids did excellent for being as young as they are. They don’t have a lot of experience in the game and it was a lot of fun.” The Cudas have a short exhibition only schedule, with a pair of games each against the Weyburn Cardinals and Moosomin. Their first game was the previous week against the Cardinals, which the Cardinals won. It looked much like the Cardinals would have enough time to march down the field and score late against the Cudas but the defence held tight and

Overall, the game represented a good introduction to the order and understanding of plays needed for minor football. “We had a couple of penalties that didn’t go our way and had a touchdown called back because of offside but the kids kept playing and were just eager to get out on the field and get warm when they were all huddled up here on the bench,” said Mortenson. Some of the mistakes that
were made are just a part of atom football with kids still learning some of the aspects of the sport, let alone specific positions. Even with the wind they tried a couple of pass plays, one of which early ended in a Weyburn interception. “I just wish it was a little warmer,” Mortenson said. One of the standouts was Truman Cieplinski on both sides of the ball with some of the best tackling on the field for either team.
“This is his third year,” said Mortenson. “We wanted to get some experience on both sides of the ball to help the kids.” The Cudas play at home Friday against Moosomin but Mortenson isn’t sure whether they’ll play nine-man or 12man football as they played against Weyburn. When the Cudas go to Moosomin n the Thanksgiving weekend, they’ll be playing nine-man. “Usually in Estevan we play 12-man,” he said.

Elecs player Hunter Eagles runs with the ball Saturday against Weyburn.
Elecs get banged up in loss to Weyburn By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca
It was an exceptionally long day of football in Estevan Saturday, but there was no game that seemed to take more time than the Weyburn Eagles in their 57-28 win over the Estevan Comprehensive School (ECS) Elecs. The Elecs were down 9-0 after they finished their first offensive series after a muffed opening kickoff return put a touchdown on the board for
the Eagles and the ensuing kickoff return ended up with a Weyburn safety on the first play from scrimmage. Things got better for the Elecs after that auspicious start but ECS trailed throughout the game. “Very similar to the game we played earlier this year against Peacock, we had a lot of guys go down,” said Schott. “On the positive side we were able to get a lot of guys in and get that taste of game experience. Those key guys, it was definitely a noticeable
loss when they were out of the game.” The Elecs lost the services of some key defenders through the game with apparent lower body injuries, like Hunter Eagles, Rylan Erdelyan and Jonah Bachorcik. Their replacements did well in their roles but Weyburn’s Chase Fillmore stormed ahead with 270 yards on 24 carries in the game, 190 of which were in the second half. “There’s a lot of positives in the first half that we can
look at,” said Schott. “There’s definitely some things we can adjust with our less experienced players who played in the second half. But we want to focus on the positives and hopefully we can bring that into our game against Swift Current next Saturday.” On offense, Eagles was a big factor in the first half, running for two touchdowns on 68 yards in the first half on the ground, and catching two passes for 54 yards in that half as well.
“Hunter played a great game when he was in there but unfortunately he was one of those guys who left with an injury,” said Schott. “That was a big loss for us and we were going fourth or fifth player deep on our running back (depth chart). It makes it tough to run the football when we have guys in there who don’t normally play that spot.” Weyburn had another pair of running backs have big games, with Alex Lund carrying the ball seven times
for 113 yards and Clay Gust getting 87 yards on five carries. This has been a tough stretch for the Elecs as they haven’t had a lot of time between games to practice some of their plays, but they get that this week before Saturday’s battle with the visiting Swift Current Colts (3-1). “That was a really intense schedule and we’re happy to have a full week of practice to thoroughly address things we need to shore up,” said Schott.
Senior girls Elecs volleyball team plays well but bows out in semifinal at home tournament By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca
The Estevan Comprehensive School (ECS) Elecs senior girls volleyball team was able to finish in the top half at their home tournament but ran into a tough opponent in the playoff round. They lost out in the first playoff game against the Moose Jaw Vanier Spirits after finishing third out of seven teams in a round robin at the ECS gym Friday and Saturday. “It was a good tournament overall and I’m happy with the way we played through the weekend,” said Elecs girls head coach Nicole Rogalski. The Elecs ended the first day 3-3 in sets. They split their opening two sets 1725, 25-21 against Lampman High School, swept Moose Jaw Central 25-10, 25-13 and were swept by Moose Jaw Vanier 23-25, 10-25. Saturday, they defeated Saskatoon Christian School 25-14, 25-22, Midale 25-13, 25-13 and split with Carnduff 1625, 25-10. Vanier was just one set better than the Elecs during their round robin battles and the third set went 16-14 for Vanier. Carnduff ended up beating Vanier in the final. For the Elecs, they’ve got a couple of months of tournaments to go before they go to regionals and learned a lot in their home tournament.
“We grew a lot as a team throughout the weekend, just coming together and relying on each other,” said Rogal-
ski. “Accuracy in our serve is something we need to work on throughout the weekend, but it did improve.”
Rogalski has a pair of grade 12s on the team but also five grade 11s, three grade tens and a pair of grade 9s.
“It was tough call picking the team captains because we have a lot of leaders on the court and on the team so it’s really good to see as a coach,” she said. Their road to provincials will be difficult because of the stiff competition they see in their 5A region, which includes Yorkton Regional, Balgonie, Vanier, Central, Peacock, Weyburn and Swift
Current. They’ll have to be in the top three of those eight teams at regionals, which will take place at Moose Jaw Nov. 9-10. “ We’ ll go up against some tough teams in our regionals,” said Rogalski. “It’s always a tough competition for us but once we’ve gone through our invitational tournaments I think it’ll be a good game for us.”

Big anniversary year of Showcase this weekend
The 25th anniversary of the Estevan Showcase Business Expo is coming to the city for two days of vendors and businesses and is free to the public this year. According to Estevan Chamber of Commerce executive director Jackie Wall the free entry was a decision made to encourage members of the community to come
out to see what Showcase has to offer, and donations of nonperishable food items will be accepted and donated to the Salvation Army food bank. “It’s open to the general public this year with no admission fees, however we would appreciate donations to the food bank,” said Wall. “We know with the Christmas season coming up it can be
MODERN AFFORDABLE QUALITY
a very busy time for the food bank so those donations will be greatly appreciated.” The annual trade show features local exhibitors and trade show staples from across Western Canada. Another major change to this year’s venue is the event will be taking place this weekend at the Power Dodge Curling Rink. “The decision was made
FACTORY DIRECT SASKATCHEWAN BUILT
to move to the Power Dodge Curling Rink because the ice had to go in early this year,” said Wall. “We also had to make some changes to the event hours, but other than that it’s going to be business as usual and a great event as always.” The showcase is sponsored this year by the Estevan Lions Club, the Estevan Rotary Club and the Estevan Chamber of Commerce. It was announced earlier this year that the Estevan Chamber of Commerce would no longer be involved with Showcase after this year’s event. Times for the event have
also slightly changed this year, as showcase will not run on Sunday. The event times are Friday from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Small businesses play a vital role in the community and some of those will be on display at Showcase, as well as other vendors. “We’ve got an amazing wide variety of vendors coming to the show this year as we always do,” said Wall. “We will continue to take registrations for booths right up until the Friday, but at this moment we are sitting at 61 booths, which is on par for

Moving forward the chamber will be leaving the Showcase committee and the Estevan Lions Club and Estevan Rotary Club will be in charge of the event,” said Wall.

Missoula Children’s Theatre unveils the Snow Queen at Frehlick Hall Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) held their rendition of the Snow Queen at the Souris Valley Theatre’s Frehlick Hall on September 20, in coordination with the Estevan Arts Council’s Koncerts for Kids series. The MCT is the largest touring children’s theatre in the U.S. It has been touring extensively for 35 years, and will visit more than 1,200 communities per year, with more than 36 teams of tour actors and directors. A tour team arrives in a given town with a set, lights, costumes, props and make-up, and everything else required to put on a play, except the cast. Auditions for roles in the play took place on Sept. 17, with dress rehearsals taking place over the last few days. The show featured 62 local youth’s, ranging from kindergarten to Grade 12, who made up the entirety of the play’s cast, according to Melina Granberg, chair for the Estevan Arts Council. “This will be my sixth

The kids learn a lot about working in a group and about the world of theatre.” Youths who were interested in performing in this year’s show auditioned for roles on Sept. 17, and have spent the time since rehearsing lines and learning their various roles. Entry to perform in the show is free to youth’s, and they are only
asked to sell $10 of raffle tickets to help keep the program going. There were two showings of the Snow Queen, at both 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Sept. 22.The show takes audience members on a journey with fun-loving Hobgoblins to the land of coloured ice, as they tell the tale of a young girl and her quest to find her best friend. “Missoula really provides these kids with a great experience,” said Granberg. “Some of these children
might not have ever had an interest in theatre or anything like this before and some of them will leave with a love of theatre that might last their whole life. They work extremely hard, and spend the whole week getting ready for the show and it’s just insane to see how much they can learn and remember in such a short time. The Koncerts for Kids series, hosted by the Estevan Arts Council, has a mission statement of being dedicated to opening the hearts and

Runners light up the night at the EAGM Andersen the event was held to encourage families to stay active while having fun, and money made from registrants will be put into the EAGM’s family programming fund. “Basically what we do with all of the money we get
from the community, is that we put it right back into our family and community programs,” said Andersen. “We started planning this night at the beginning of the summer, we just thought it would be kind of fun and creative. Our runs aren’t really competitive, so where we brought in the competitive element is a prize for best dressed or best costume.” The weather was a concern for the organizers, with colder temperatures, and rain in the forecast. But according to Andersen the public turnout was still roughly what they had hoped to see. Roughly 25 people participated in the event, with many participants arriving in full costumes decorated
with glow sticks. One participant arrived to the event in a clown costume, while others showed off their glowing tutus. The cost of entry into the event was $35 for adults, and $10 for children aged 12 and under. Participants met at Rotary Hall in Woodlawn Regional Park, before departing on the five-kilometre trek. “We’re still in the works right now for the prizes for best dressed, but we think it will be something along the lines of a gift card or something nice like that,” said Andersen. “We just want to thank everyone that came out. We know the weather is getting cooler and the couch would

Fire crews kept busy with training, calls and public education
Estevan Fire Rescue Service Members were kept busy last week with several public relations events and calls for service, according to Fire Chief Dale Feser. “On Monday morning at approximately 6 p.m. fire crews were called to a reported structure fire that was occurring in the northeast area of the city,” said Feser. “Once crews arrived on scene it was found to be an electrical fire, the power was isolated to the home and it appeared to be an electric baseboard heater that shorted out and ignited the curtains in the house. Because of the homeowners quick action there was very little damage to the home.” Fire crews were alerted to a commercial fire alarm Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. “Once crews arrived on scene it was found that the maintenance staff were attempting repairs to the fire alarm system and had accidentally set it off,” said Feser. “Crews did confirm there was no emergency occurring and returned to the station.” Later on that day at 11 a.m. crews were called to an illegal outdoor fire. “Fire department command staff found the individual was illegally burning leaves and twigs, which is currently not an approved burning substance under the current bylaws,” said Feser. “So we want to ensure residents are taking these materials to the landfill as these materials can subsequently cause spot fires on neighbouring properties.” Later that afternoon at 1 p.m. fire crews took part in a safety presentation for the Grade 1 class at Sacred Heart School.

“Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. we were reported to a diesel fuel leak coming from a semi trailer parked at the 500 block of Fifth Street,” said Feser. “Crews arrived and discovered the leak was coming from a ruptured line, and were able to mitigate the leak and prevent it from entering the storm sewer systems.” At 6 p.m. that day crews were called to downed power lines and trees on fire at Woodlawn Regional Park. “Crews arrived on scene with employees from SaskPower,” said Feser. “SaskPower crews were able to isolate power so fire crews could move in and ensure complete extinguishment of flames. As well at 7 p.m that night we had three hours of training, so fire crews were kept very busy Tuesday.” On Wednesday members of the Estevan Fire Rescue Service were asked to take part in a mock disaster exercise for mass casualties at the Regina International Airport. “What we were doing was providing critiques as to what we thought could have done better or what was done very well…that took place right on airport property,” said Feser. “We were making sure everyone is doing what they are told
and their designated duties in those particular incidents.” Thursday at 2 a.m. crews were called to commercial fire alarms in the south central part of the city. “Crews arrived and discovered that a fire alarm pull station had been accidentally activated, so crews still cleared the occupancy to check and make sure there was no other fire or cause for alarm,” said Feser. “Friday was fairly quiet for us. We hosted a fire fighter appreciation barbeque to show thanks to all the fire departments and their families.” On Saturday crews were alerted to a commercial fire alarm at 7 a.m. taking place on King Street. “ When crews arrived on scene it was found to be a faulty fire alarm. The manager of the facility was cautioned to have an electrician to come in and prevent any further incidents occurring,” said Feser. “ We h a d a p u b l i c engagement event at the Church of God on Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., where we were asked to partake in a children’s fire safety course. So we went over stop drop and roll and taught how to get out of any building or room the children might be in during an emergency situation.

Creighton Lodge hosts annual family barbecue By Brady Bateman bbateman@estevanmercury.ca
Estevan’s Creighton Lodge hosted their eighthannual family appreciation barbeque on Sept. 20. According to Creighton Lodge manager Shelly Veroba, although rain hindered the outdoor element of the event, hundreds of friends and family were in attendance and were treated to a delicious meal and entertainment. “We’ve hosted this event every year since the RM took ownership on July 1, 2010,” said Veroba. “We usually try to host the event around that July 1 mark, but since we had to repave our parking lots this year, we had to host the event a little later than we would have liked.” According to Veroba, the importance of the annuallyheld event is to get all of the families of the residents, as well as volunteers, and community members from Estevan together to share a meal and visit with each other. “Due to the rain the event is totally indoors, usually we have people inside and outside but luckily we decided to do a pulled pork this year instead of our typical hamburgers. So we were able to make everything in house in our kitchen, and it seems like we’ve made a good choice because it’s raining cats and dogs,” said Veroba. “Luckily because we’ve redone our parking lots, there are no drainage issues anymore, and people are able to get out of their vehicles without stepping into puddles.” More than 200 people were in attendance throughout the evening according to Veroba. “Normally we expect somewhere around 250 people, today we’re expecting around 220. The rain may slow some of them down a little bit, but the line-up is going all the way down the hall so it looks like the turnout is really good,” said Veroba. “We’ve basically been cooking the pork for the last few days, and today we made a huge amount of sauce and we’ve let it marinate all day in preparation for dinner. We’ve also got two different kinds of pork, we’ve got six or seven kinds of desserts, a few different kinds of salads, so it’s going to be really good and I think everyone will enjoy it.” Lodge residents were pleased with the meal, and were excited to be surrounded by friends and family. “We’ve had an excellent response from the residents, a lot of them have four or five family members here today,” said Veroba. “Our biggest issue right now is just trying to make room for all of the family
Creighton lodge residents, along with family members, line up for food at the eighth annual Creighton Lodge barbecue. The event is held yearly to bring families of the residents of Creighton Lodge together. members to sit together, but truthfully we’re one big family here so if some people get split up it’s not a huge deal.” According to Veroba the philosophy for the evening was come and stay, or come and go, with a desire to create friendships and share a fun evening together. “ We want people to come and get food and hang-
out, but if they have to leave we want them to leave happy with full stomachs,” said Veroba. “We will definitely be continuing with the barbeque next year, and we will be back to our regular date in the spring. We also want to say a big thank you to all of our volunteers, we have about 20 people volunteering and it
wouldn’t be possible without them, also a big thanks to all the families that have come out.” The next major event for Creighton Lodge is the annual Christmas party, which will be hosted on Dec. 4, followed by an appreciation night being held on Dec. 19. “We also want to say a huge thank you to Cham-
ney Crushing. They were extremely generous and donated $700 to help supply
the food today, and they also sent out two workers to help us get ready today.”
