United Way telethon was one to remember By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca

Even during times of economic uncertainty, Estevan area residents still seemingly want to support the United Way Estevan’s telethon. The 42nd annual fundraising broadcast was held at the Royal Canadian Legion’s Estevan branch on Friday and Saturday. Once the 33-hour broadcast was finished, a total of $372,290 had been donated, which exceeded the goal of $335,000. The money raised will be directed towards the United Way’s 15 member agencies and two community partners. The final off-air total was just shy of the previous record of $372,394, set two years ago. President Travis Frank said he couldn’t be happier with this year’s fundraiser. “Raising over $372,000 is an incredible feat, especially given our economy in the city right now,” said Frank. “We know times aren’t great for everybody.” But people in Estevan recognize the member agen-

cies have experienced challenges in the last few years. “They know that these causes and these agencies are important, particularly in years where times are tough, and we want to make sure that we can give as much to them as possible, and we’re going to be able to do that this year,” said Frank. Frank pointed out that the United Way’s best years have come during times of adversity. The first time they eclipsed the $370,000 mark was in 2011, when much of the southeast was hit by a flood. The next time that happened was in 2016, when Estevan was swamped by a record-breaking storm in mid-July. And this year’s telethon came a few months after SaskPower announced it would retire Units 4 and 5 at the Boundary Dam Power Station. “Keeping track of those numbers, it’s really quite interesting to see that when times are tough, people give more to United Way, which is fantastic, because those agencies affect

us that much more when times are tough,” said Frank. The telethon went on air at 8 a.m. on Friday morning. Many donations came in on Friday, and by the end of the day Friday, the total stood at more than $136,000, the highest total ever for a Friday. “It’s nice to see those numbers climb quite high on the Friday, so that we know we’re going into Saturday pretty successful already,” said Frank. Students from the Estevan Comprehensive School took over the telethon during the overnight hours, handling tasks that ranged from hosting to behind-the-scenes work. “We know we don’t want to give up the middle of the night. We want to keep the momentum of our telethon going. If we stop in the middle and start again, that really loses the impact of what we’re doing. So we want to make sure we go through the middle of the night. The high school does that for us, and they not only do it, they do it in some pretty crazy and entertaining ways.” The total hovered around $150,000 until early Saturday afternoon, when SaskPower

Students from Pleasantdale School performed on Friday morning during the United Way Estevan’s telethon. came through with a donation of $123,547.40. The figure was raised by local SaskPower employees and management, and matched by the corporation. The telethon surpassed its goal just before 2 p.m. A donation worth $80,886.29 from the United Mine Workers of America Local 7606 and the Westmoreland Coal Company lifted the United Way above its goal.

Moments after the United Way eclipsed its goal, Frank called Dan Clement, the interim president and CEO of United Way Canada. Clement said he had been watching the telethon online, and said the local United Way is leading the way for others in Canada. The generosity of the community didn’t stop when the United Way reached its

goal, and about $20,000 in donations came in during the final three hours. The broadcast ended just before 5 p.m. Local residents offered their talents to the telethon through entertainment, preparing food, creating handcrafted bid items and volunteering by answering phones, operating cameras, working in the kitchen and fulfilling A2 » ENTERTAINMENT

Delays Estevan enjoys John Mellencamp occurring at concert at Afﬁnity Place North Portal border crossing By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca

Motorists looking to enter Canada from the U.S. at the North Portal border crossing have been experiencing delays this week. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) advised travellers on Monday that construction-related delays were expected at the North Portal border crossing for approximately 72 hours, starting at 8 a.m. on Tuesday. “As part of the construction project at North Portal, crews will be replacing a sewer line that runs underneath Highway 39 northbound this week, just past the CBSA primary inspection compound,” said Luke Reimer, a spokesperson with CBSA’s Prairie region. They will also be working on a road water drain line. “The work to be completed would block Canada-bound traffic from proceeding north after clearing CBSA processing,” said Reimer. “Therefore, from the CBSA building past the North Portal Duty Free – it’s a stretch of about 230 metres – both northbound and southbound traffic will be sharing the two highway lanes normally reserved for southbound traffic.” A flag person will be present to direct traffic at all times. An expansion and renovation project is underway at the North Portal border crossing that is expected to take 18-30 months. “It’s an important project that’s going to increase the … capacity of the port of entry by adding a third processing lane, constructing a new and taller canopy, staggering three bi-level primary inspection booths on the highway to better streamline traffic flow, and of course, improving our commercial facility. We’re renovating and expanding the commercial warehouse.” Travellers entering Canada by car or other light vehicle were asked to consider the Northgate border crossing to the east of North Portal, and the Estevan border crossing to the west. Both ports of entry are open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

These may be Lawless Times, as John Mellencamp’s first song said at his concert Friday night at Affinity Place, but that doesn’t mean people can’t have fun at a concert. Few seats were empty when the show began as Mellencamp went through new and old songs for over an hour and a half. Mellencamp and his seven-piece band worked through old and new songs from his over 40-year recording career. Before the show, the concert backdrop showed a brief history of Mellencamp’s career, including him walking off the set of a television interview in 1982. As that faded out, the crowd on the floor jumped to their feet as members of the band came to the stage until Mellencamp showed up, predominantly dressed in black, to the crowd’s adulation. His new songs helped open the set, including Lawless Times (from 2014’s Plain Spoken), John Cockers (from 2008’s Life, Death, Love and Freedom) before 1985’s Min-

John Mellencamp and his band performed at Afﬁnity Place Friday night. utes to Memories, a hidden gem on Scarecrow, and then he and the band then ripped into the classic Mellencamp song like Small Town.

fight/but you know I won’t run away) from 1996’s Mr. Happy Go Lucky. His newer songs, like Easy Target from 2017’s Sad Clowns & Hillbillies, included some of the bite Mellencamp still has for the time he lives in (“Well let the poor be damned/ and the easy targets too/ All are created equal/ Equally beneath me and you”).

Martineau gets four months for assault By Brian Zinchuk brian.zinchuk@sasktel.net

Derek Michael Martineau appeared in Estevan Provincial Court on Monday with so many charges that they filled nearly two full pages on the court docket. While the bulk of the charges were breaches of various undertakings and failures to appear in court, he had charges for assault, a marijuana possession and resisting a police officer. The number of charges was spread across a total of seven informations – the court documents which list the formal charges against an accused. In addition to these charges, Martineau also faces an unrelated charge of sexual

assault on a minor in Court of Queen’s Bench. It was not dealt with on this day. Martineau, 26, was in custody, having been behind bars since Aug. 25. Crown prosecutor Chris White noted the most serious was the assault charge. On July 5, 2017, police in Weyburn were dispatched to a location in that city. Martineau had been in a room with a number of other people. White said Martineau grabbed the victim, a young woman, and choked her with his forearm until she briefly lost consciousness. This occurred while he was on conditions from the court. White noted Martineau already has a significant period of custody under his belt.

As part of a joint submission between the Crown and defence, Martineau pleaded guilty to several charges, with the remainder being stayed by the prosecution. He pleaded guilty to assault, possession of marijuana, five counts of breach of an undertaking and one count of failure to appear. Charges were stayed on failure to appear, resisting police officer and four counts of breach of an undertaking. Recognizing that Martineau had been in remand for 66 days, and that credit is applied for 1 1/2 times remand time, White explained Martineau had effectively served 99 days. As a result, he asked that all the breach and fail to attend

charged be summed up into a one-day sentence on top of the time served. The assault charge would see a four-month consecutive sentence be served in jail, followed by 12 months of probation during which he would be under standard conditions and need to take anger management and substance abuse treatment. He would also have a nocontact order with the victim of the assault. Defence attorney Jonathan Goby noted Martineau does have a considerable record. He called it “a reasonable sentence.” Judge Lane Wiegers, in passing down his sentence, said, “Mr. Martineau, you’re a young man.”

He said the court has hope and optimism that people can get their affairs in order. “I want to impress upon you … you have a long record,” Wiegers said. He noted there were a significant number of breaches and violence, and that he should “put his full heart into treatment.” “If you get into trouble again, the sentences are going to get longer and longer.” With that he granted the sentence the crown requested, and ordered Martineau to pay a $1,000 victim impact surcharge, with eight months to pay once he is out of jail. The judge suggested he might want to work it off through the fine option program. Upon his release, Mar-

tineau is expected to be living in Estevan. Also in court on Monday, Aleah McIsaac’s case was adjourned to April 1, 2019. Goby, who is McIsaac’s defence attorney, asked for the five-month adjournment. White said McIsaac is making efforts to repay the money that she took from the Estevan Youth Soccer Association. Wiegers granted the adjournment. McIsaac, a 36-year-old woman from Estevan, pleaded guilty to theft over $5,000 last month. The charges stemmed from when McIsaac was involved with the association. The period of the offence was from Jan. 1, 2016, to Feb. 1, 2017.

Entertainment and bid items big part of telethon « A1 other roles. Entertainment was offered throughout the 33 hours. The first few hours largely featured local school students who sang and danced to the delight of people who packed the legion.

Frank pointed out the United Way board pushed the telethon back two weeks from its originally scheduled dates of Oct. 12 and 13 to accommodate the schools, because Oct. 12 was a professional development day for the schools.

A variety of singers, instrumentalists, soloists, duets and groups performed over the course of the show. Bromhead-based country gospel group The Daae Family served as the closing act. “So many great per-

formers that have come from years past came again,” said Frank. Eighty-five hand-crafted bid items were available through a silent auction. Those bid items fetched thousands of dollars that boosted the telethon’s total.

“It’s nice to see the community bring us such highquality items that they’ve made from home, and some really unique items.” The Heart and Hands Quilting Guild once again created a quilt that was raffled off.

Businesses and individuals who weren’t able to donate during the telethon, but want to do so, still have that opportunity. Then the allocations committee will decide how to divide the surplus revenues among the member agencies.

Cherry Bomb ends show

John Mellencamp accepts the crowd’s adulation at Afﬁnity Place. « A1 During that song, he chided the audience, who was singing along, for getting to the chorus early. “It’s two verses and then the chorus, guys,” he said. A lot of Mellencamp’s most popular material looks at the human side of growing up and growing older, and the effect that the advance of time has on people

individually and collectively. For the longest time, Mellencamp has been able to do both poignant and radio-friendly. Check It Out from 1987’s Lonesome Jubilee is possibly the best example of this, with lyrics such as: “A million young poets/ screaming out their words/ maybe someday those words

The concert concluded with Cherry Bomb at about 10 p.m. before people went home, happy with what they heard and maybe with a new lyric or two to think about.

Provincial volunteer ﬁreﬁghters association hosts fall training school at Estevan locations By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca

This weekend saw a lot of activity around the city with students and firefighters busy with the different kinds of situations firefighters could find themselves involved with. Estevan Fire Rescue Service hosted and assisted with the fall firefighter training school for the Saskatchewan Volunteer Firefighters Association, from Friday through Sunday at different locations in the city. And Sunday afternoon, Fire Chief Dale Feser and the local fire department took a deep breath and rested. “We had nothing but positive feedback from all aspects of the fire school, which is just unheard of,” said Feser. “The president of the association just had nothing but praise for us. He said his phone didn’t ring once all weekend. There was not one complaint.” Hundreds of firefighters attended the courses and training from the Nipawin Fire Department on down to southern Saskatchewan. Feser estimated there were 24-25 departments who had sent people. “We spent a couple of days just solely trying to focus on all the logistical stuff in the background,” said Feser. “However we still have to contend with our regular

The ropes, knots and ladders course took place at the ﬁre hall Saturday afternoon call volumes and it was a busy couple of days for us so some of our attention was diverted to that …” Feser said the cleanup crew from some of their social events were busy until 2 a.m. a couple of days and then they had to get breakfast ready for the morning

sessions as well. “Usually right around the 2 p.m. mark, everybody’s starting to drag their bums,” Feser laughed. “But you just continue to push through… and by the time everyone’s sitting down for the Saturday evening banquet, you know you’re three quarters of the way done with the fire school and you can have somewhat of a relaxing evening.” Students learned theory at the Estevan Comprehensive School classrooms, and had some training sessions at the Estevan Fire Hall, at the Exhibition Grounds for an emergency livestock handling course and at the city yards and Cactus Park in south Estevan for burning vehicle and vehicle extrication and pump operations. The instructors are provided by the volunteer firefighters association and were assisted by local members using some of the equipment. Feser said the pump operations people told him it was the best training environment they’ve had. “We had a really good training environment and it provides a great opportunity for the students taking the courses as well,” Feser said. Being able to lend out some of their equipment to the event, which if they needed to be recalled, they could have done so, was also a good thing for Feser.

“ We can’t thank the City of Estevan enough for being able to provide us some top notch equipment,” he said. “When we’re able to provide that for the students it just provides a better learning environment for them. They can see what happens and how to react in certain situations, and some of the equipment they may be looking at replacing their own equipment with. It just starts a discussion within the fire service industry about the tools and equipment that we use.” Feser said the food went well for the event, with many local businesses happy to provide for about 350 volunteer firefighters. “ The two toughest things to keep everybody happy with is the food and the entertainment,” he said. “Gold stars for all of that all around. We can’t thank our local people enough for the food that had been provided.” They catered out to the Days Inn for the Beefeater Plaza for their Saturday banquet and their breakfasts. Mr. Mike’s provided lunch on Saturday at the high school. The Tower Café and Tap House provided the food for Friday’s social evening. The event Friday had the pizza ovens on site at the fire hall due to the classes ending at different times, combining with the desire to provide a hot meal for the students. “We couldn’t have done it without the (local) firefighters, without the spouses and without the community support or involvement, whether it’s food or monetary donations or corporate sponsorship. It’s unbelievable the amount of support we have in our area,” Feser said.

Will Saskatchewan miss STC now? You can forgive local residents for feeling apathetic about the demise of Greyhound in Western Canada. After all, Greyhound wasn’t serving the Estevan area. We aren’t losing any bus services, and we aren’t losing another key link from Estevan to Regina, Saskatoon and other larger centres. But there are people in Saskatchewan, in communities like Swift Current, Yorkton and North Battleford, who genuinely relied on Greyhound for transportation. Due to disability, age or other valid reasons, they don’t have a driver’s licence, and they don’t have another means to get to the cities for doctor’s appointment and other needs. It’s a refrain being heard in other Western Canadian provinces. People are genuinely going to miss Greyhound when it ceases virtually all of its western routes on Nov. 1, even though fewer people were using its services. The loss of Greyhound bus services in Saskatchewan came less than 18 months after another bus company, the Saskatchewan Transportation Company, was shuttered in this province. At the time, it was hoped that when STC closed shop, the private sector would step in and provide the services that were delivered by STC. It hasn’t happened. Yes, there have been companies that have stepped up and taken care of some of the shipping services that businesses count on. And we have seen some businesses start up to provide a passenger bus service, although

the buses are nowhere near as big as they were before. Smaller buses represented a common sense measure. We saw what a money pit those big buses were when they rolled down Saskatchewan highways with just a handful of passengers aboard. But the passenger bus services that have started up in the last 18 months have largely been focused on the major national highways: 1, 11 and to a lesser extent, 16. The mistake the Saskatchewan government made last year wasn’t axing the STC; it was wrapping up STC when there weren’t any options ready to step in to take STC’s place. Now that Greyhound is finished in the west, it gives us a hint as to why nobody has stepped in to take STC’s place. Maybe you can’t make money as a bus company in Western Canada in 2018. Certainly you can’t do it with the a business model that involves large buses driving long routes. Some have suggested that provincial governments should step in with bus services now that Greyhound is leaving the west. That would also be a mistake. While the objective of a Crown corporation is to provide a service, it still needs to operate as a business, and not as a charity. Our taxpayer dollars are too valuable to be used for a money pit. And that’s exactly what a rejuvenated STC would be. There would also be a major expense as-

sociated with purchasing vehicles (regardless of whether they’re full-sized buses or the small 15-passenger vans) and securing sites to serve as bus depots. STC was a diminishing return, just like Greyhound was a diminishing return. The number of people riding STC buses was dropping, for whatever reason. Its losses were only going to grow. Did we need it? Yes. But that’s because there weren’t any other viable options. The government that wants to start up a bus service in 2018 should be recalled. Among the four Western Canadian provinces, we’re arguably the one that needs a passenger bus service the most. While Saskatchewan no longer has communities every 13 kilometres on virtually every highway (give or take a couple of kilometres), it’s still a province with a spread out population, with hundreds of little towns and villages that dot the landscape, on rural highways that crisscross the province. Also, many services are only available in the two major cities. Estevan residents won’t feel the loss created by Greyhound’s final days in Western Canada. But other communities will. And those communities are going to feel the pinch of life after Greyhound, just like we felt the effects of life after STC. Sadly, there isn’t any relief in sight for those looking for the service provided by a bus.

Twenty-ﬁve years ago, a cop beat on me, and I blame SkyDome Twenty-five years ago, a cop beat on me. Why? I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and it’s all the Blue Jays’ fault, and their home, SkyDome. That year, October 1993, I had just completed my second month living on my own, attending the University of Saskatchewan. For me, it was a magical time – a new city, university, making new friends, almost every experience was new. One I hadn’t counted on was ending up in the middle of a riot one block away from my apartment. Back in those days, the Toronto Blue Jays were a big deal. A few years before, they had just moved into SkyDome (I refuse to call it anything else). The city and country were fascinated with the newfangled, open/close roofed stadium, and they were routinely selling out and setting attendance records. That must have helped the team’s finances, and I am guessing it showed in their ability to field a winning team. The year before, they had won the World Series. This year, they would repeat. I had an apartment just off of Eighth Street, Saskatoon’s main drag on the east side. I had also found out that the 7-Eleven on the opposite corner of the block I lived on happened to be ground zero of a riot the previous year, when the Blue Jays won for the first time. I watched the final game, and we won. A million people were peaceful on the streets of Toronto. And Saskatoon rioted. A friend of mine, Linette, and I decided to go for a walk down Eighth Street to see what was happening, and what would happen. I had a camera around my neck, with a big flash and bigger lens, to record this for posterity.

From the Top of the Pile BRIAN ZINCHUK The 7-Eleven, which had been trashed the previous year, had a cordon of police around it, protecting it from its own repeat performance. At first, the street was full of honking cars and people waving. Someone threw a beer bottle that just missed us. Around A&W, we turned back west, towards my apartment. Things started to unravel then. The Saskatoon Police Service started assembling its riot squad in the Grosvenor Park shopping centre parking lot. Some fired tear gas at the people, now on foot, on Eighth Street to the east. We were behind the police, and they seemed to be ignoring us, so all was good. I even talked to one officer briefly. But as we proceeded westbound through the parking lot, we saw some people try to get into their cars, only to see police pull them out and whale them on them with batons. We got close to the video store when all of a sudden, Linette and I were on the wrong side of the police’s riot shields. It was at this time I was looking down, fiddling with my camera. I had lost situational awareness. Linette recalled, “I’ll never be rid of the memory of those cops forming a circle around you as you were trying to change your flash.” One of them hit me in the back of my right leg with a truncheon. I was screaming, “I’m press, I’m press,” as I had been working as a freelancer

for over a year by that point. Linette grabbed my arm and dragged me out of there before any other blows landed. Damn, did it hurt. We ran across Eighth Street to the back steps of my apartment building, where we found across a couple people sitting, their eyes burning from pepper spray. We took them up to my apartment and they flushed their eyes for about 15 minutes. It was brutal. We did experience a bit of tear gas, but it was nothing like pepper spray. They were in misery. There wasn’t too much damage from that riot. It appears the Saskatoon Police Service was prepared to deal with rowdies. I wasn’t there the year before, but I had heard stories the 1992 riot was just that. Riots seem to have a life of their own. They have an energy and a pulse, a chaos most people thankfully never experience. I never expected to end up in the middle of one. While we were looking to see what would happen, we weren’t looking for trouble, nor did we cause any. Will the Blue Jays ever inspire a Saskatchewan riot again? Some people seem to think that SkyDome, now Rogers Centre, now sucks, and to get the people to come out, we need to build a new stadium. I really hate that line of thinking, especially given the enormous cost of SkyDome. If it was good enough 25 years ago to bring out the fans, which bought the tickets, which paid for a winning team, it’s probably still good enough today. Maybe even good enough to lead to a riot.

It’s a race to the bottom – but who wins? A couple of weeks ago, I walked a picket line with a friend in support of striking workers at a grocery and fuel co-operative. I needed to feel it in my blood again, that idea of is why I believe I what I believe. There’s a two-tiered wage system that workers have finally had enough of and the management isn’t prepared to let go. A manager said to another friend of mine as I stood there: “They already make more money than…” before listing certain grocery stores and businesses. “Well, it’s a race to the bottom,” my friend said, carrying a home made sign in support of the striking workers. And it seems like we’re all caught in the idea of a neverending race to the bottom. Minimum wage is always too high for independent business. If only it went down, then everyone would be employed. We pay too much for some of the things in life we crave so we ask online services like Amazon to do it a little bit cheaper while local entrepreneurs and employees tap their fingers at their stores. We want the snow to be cleared from every single road five minutes before the flakes start falling, but balk every time city taxes come due. We want to be protected by law enforcement and the fire department but cross our fingers they don’t ask for too much at contract time. Living in an apartment in the middle of the city, I, too need to shop at grocery stores instead of, say, growing all the produce in a backyard greenhouse all the time. I understand there’s a cost of doing business and I sometimes (wrongly) assume that as the stores go well, so do the employees and yes, even the management. As a member of that co-operative, I share in the profits every year with a benefit cheque. Those cheques have steadily gotten higher over the last couple of years. And the longer the strike goes on, the smaller that benefit cheque is likely to be. I’m willing to accept that if it means those who work hard to make the business what it is they will share a little bit more in the profit. The Edmonton Oilers a few weeks ago crossed a picket line to stay at a hotel when they went on a road trip. I thought about how the National Hockey League Players Association was able to form and grow in the late 60s and early 70s. The New York Yankees, a franchise made entirely of money, stayed at the same hotel. Salaries for the players have doubled in the last 20 years and there are coaches making more than $5 million a year. The players certainly have to be aware of the power they have collectively. So you would think solidarity with other unions would be one of the things at least respected or considered when choosing where to stay overnight but apparently that was forgotten about; perhaps while the agents and players decided which luxury items to purchase online. Even with that said, I’ve supported the players every time a labour interruption has threatened and even cancelled a season of professional sports in the past. People pay to watch the top stars playing for storied franchises, and in some cases they even want to watch the Arizona Coyotes. Anyway, the players are the ones they want to see, and if they feel their skills have a certain proven value, why should league management be able to tell them otherwise? Should we engage in a race to the bottom in the way many would see our grocery stores? Would you pay NHL ticket prices to watch scabs or top end minor pro talent? Let’s even look locally. Do we want the cheapest coaching staff for our SJHL team? Or do we want the best one we can find, like what the community has in spades with Chris Lewgood, Jeff Smith and Aren Miller? We’re very fortunate to live in one of the most resource-rich areas on the continent, with plenty of locally grown food and hardly-spoiled natural wonderment surrounding us on all sides. Things are great here and few people would deny that. Those who work to make it great should be able to expect to share in the profits that follow that business. It’s people that have and will continue to make this a great place to live. I can’t talk to an empty storefront in the way I can talk to someone working at a store or in a restaurant, and sometimes I can’t have those things unless I’m willing to pay a little bit more up front.

Legion launches poppy campaign The annual poppy campaign is now underway for the Royal Canadian Legion’s Estevan branch, and for other legion branches across the country. The legion kicked off the local campaign on Friday morning, with legion members pinning a poppy on Estevan Mayor Roy Ludwig. Trays with poppies are in the process of being dropped off at businesses around the community. People are asked to wear a poppy until Remembrance

Day. Jim (Frosty) Forrest, the first vice-president of the local branch, said the poppy campaign is a very big deal for the legion, because it generates money for veterans’ programs. “Poppy money is held in a trust fund, to be used for veterans in need,” said Forrest. “So it’s very important, and those needs can’t be filled without financial support.” A total of $23,000 was raised through the poppy campaign last year.

The legion will be taking poppy trays to schools and senior citizens’ homes, and they will be available for purchase at the legion. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War, and Forrest said he hopes there will be added significance for the poppy campaign and Remembrance Day this year because of the anniversary. “Those veterans came back to not much support, and the legion was formed specifically for that purpose,

to provide support for veterans,” said Forrest. “And it’s as important and significant today as it was in 1926 (when the legion started).” The local legion branch has veterans from many different combat missions and from peacekeeping missions, and those veterans need support as well. If someone would like to have a poppy tray at their business, but was missed by the legion, then they can contact the legion at 306634-3135.

Estevan’s cannabis retailer not sure when it will open The slow road towards opening Estevan’s lone cannabis retail outlet continues for Jimmy’s Cannabis Shop. The company has received approval to purchase product for its Estevan location, and they hope to have an on-site inspection by the Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) this week. They also want to have the permit from SLGA this week. Without the permit, they can possess the products, but they can’t sell it. The business also received the permits for Battleford, Martensville and Moosomin. John Thomas, who owns the company with his brother David, said previously they hoped to open before the end of the month. Now they don’t know when it will happen, but they expect it will occur before the end of the year. “We had made an order for Estevan and we were just going to store it in one of our other stores, until Estevan was allowed to hold it, but the producer was unable to fulfill that order,” Thomas said. It would be a big disappointment for the company

if they aren’t open in Estevan this year, because the store is ready to go. The company hired its staff members for Estevan last week. They waited until now to hire the staff because they didn’t want to hire employees, only to make them wait a lengthy period of time to start work. “We’ll probably do a few days of training, but essentially it comes down to when we can have the product in the store,” said Thomas. Jimmy’s Cannabis Shop has run into another issue that is facing cannabis retailers throughout the country: a lack of supply. That supply shortage forced them to close their Martensville outlet. “When we opened Martensville, there was no Saskatoon store open. So we had Saskatoon people essentially driving to Martensville, as well as the Martensville community. So that’s why Martensville sold out so quickly.” Thomas said he knew there were issues related to supply of cannabis, but he was surprised by the severity. “We knew the supply was going to be tight, and we

were kind of restricted on our orders, but I was surprised that then our orders didn’t arrive. I thought if you made the orders and paid for the orders, then I expected they would be here.” More and more cannabis suppliers are being legalized all the time, and he expects the issue will gradually improve. The company had its outlets in Martensville and Battleford open on Oct. 17 when it became legal to possess less than 30 grams of cannabis in Canada. Those were two of seven outlets in the province open on legalization day. Thomas pointed out that one of the few stores in the

province is in North Battleford, so there is a normal level of activity for the North Battleford and Battleford stores. He said Jimmy’s Cannabis Shop worked hard to have two retailers open on Oct. 17, and they were working hard to have Estevan open as well, but they knew everything would have to be in place for that to happen. Any setback would cause them to miss that deadline. Discretionary permit issues kept them from being open locally on Oct. 17. He has said in the past that Moosomin would be open later than Estevan.

Second annual antiques and collectibles show draws people to Exhibition Hall By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca

An event with two full days of antiques and collectibles on the weekend, even with a lot going on in the city and area, was successful for the organizers. Rolan Quaife, one of the organizers, said vendors and patrons alike enjoyed the second annual antiques and collectibles show Friday and Saturday at the Estevan Exhibition Hall. “The venders were very pleased with the venue, which was completely redone,” said Quaife as he and his wife took down their display late Saturday afternoon. “The crowds were good, the people that came in to the shows were very happy about the show, the

product (and) the availability. “This is the only type of show we’ve had in Estevan with the calibre of vendors. From the antique jewelry to the collectible farm toys.” Vendors came from as far away as Winnipeg, Regina and Dauphin for the show and the foot traffic was steady, and there were even people from North Dakota who visited. “Anyone who did come in thought it was a well presented show,” Quaife said. Quaife got a chance to look around and noticed the antique radios, among other things, that one of the vendors brought. “The old record players, the stamps, hundreds of stamps, fireplaces, the antique pot belly stove,” he said. This was the second year

Vendors and patrons alike enjoyed the antiques and collectibles show. Submitted photo. for the antiques and collectible show, and now that it was a success, next year’s event is in

the planning stages. Last year’s event was in the legion hall and that venue was too small

for them, so they moved to the Exhibition Hall. “Next year we’ll have to move to the Wylie-Mitchell building because of the response and the vendors,” said Quaife. “It’s something I always wanted to do to (help).” The show isn’t just about the vendors and the public’s desire to see antiques. Quaife said they’ve donated table space to Envision Counselling and Support Centre, the Este-

van Humane Society and the Estevan branch of the Royal Canadian Legion. “ They sit here and can be… in the public and promote their things,” said Quaife. “It’s a thing for my wife and I to try to give back. Any profits we donate it to my two favourite charities, which would be the legion and the humane society. They need all of the help they can get in everything.”

The Estevan RCMP has released details on a few recent arrests in the southeast. RCMP conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle in Bienfait on Oct. 19. As a result police, arrested a 25-year-old man from Estevan for impaired driving. He is set to appear in Estevan Provincial Court on Nov. 19 to answer to the charges. Then on Oct. 22, RCMP officers were patrolling in response to complaints of a possible impaired driver. As a result, a traffic stop was conducted on Highway 39 between Macoun and Hitchcock. A 55-year-old driver from Alberta was arrested for impaired driving, dangerous operation of a vehicle, driving an unregistered vehicle, driving without a valid driver’s licence, having open alcohol in a vehicle and possession of cannabis in a vehicle. He is set to appear in Estevan Provincial Court on Dec. 10. The following day, Estevan RCMP responded to a complaint of a semi hauling hay bales that had overturned on Highway 39 just north of Hitchcock. As a result, the 62-year-old male driver was arrested for impaired driving. He is also set to appear in Estevan Provincial Court on Dec. 10. No injuries occurred in the rollover, and the hay bales wound up in the ditch.

Regens Metals excited to have new home Regens Metals is excited to be in its new building in southeast Estevan. The company moved into the 6,000 square foot building on Oct. 22. Graham Fox, the business manager for Regens Metals, said the company has been looking to move into Estevan for some time; their previous home was the Bienfait landfill. “It wasn’t as convenient or busy for our biggest customer base, which is here in Estevan, and this is our home, so we’re very happy about that,” said Fox. The company has more space, he said, with more room to expand its reach and the scrap metal they can bring in. They have more shop space and more pieces

of equipment they can install, which will allow them to do a lot of different things, and improve their efficiency. “We have more space out in the yard, so we are able to bring in some new material handlers and sheers and things like that which are going to help a lot,” said Fox. Instead of processing scrap metal into one or two piles, and then shipping it all together, they can separate it piece by piece into individual alloys, which allows the company to send it to different markets and hopefully get a better rate. They do more recycling as well, so less metal products go to waste. The building was constructed by local contractors,

he said, and a lot of people played a part in constructing the building. There is still some work that needs to be completed on the building, as they are still working on signage and lighting, and an electrician still needs to install some of the higher-end equipment that Regens Metals brought in as part of the move to the new building. “We have this new space to help us process the scrap metal right here inside, so we’re not doing everything outside when it gets cold,” said Fox. The company was able to operate well at the old building. They did the best they could at their former home, Fox said, but Regens Metals grew over the years, reached its capacity, and needed something new to expand. About a dozen people work at Regens Metals, and they are very pleased with the building. “There’s a lot more room for everybody, so safety has improved. We have pieces of equipment running in the shop, and nobody’s worried about bumping elbows with each other. Everybody’s happy to be inside, doing all of their work inside once it gets cold.” Regens Metals primarily buys scrap metal from all possible sources. But they also perform site clean-ups for oilfield sites and farms. “There are a lot of farms around here with an old

The speech said the government would implement the Prairie Resilience Climate Change Strategy and introduce legislation to establish intensity-based performance standards for large emitters. She also noted the Throne Speech also calls for the provincial government to deliver a balanced budget for 2019-20. And while it’s a smaller item, Carr is also pleased the government will offer free hunting and fishing licenses to Canadian military veterans. “It’s just a way of saying ‘Thank you’ for what you have done for us and what you have given us,” said Carr. There isn’t anything specific to the Estevan constituency in the Throne Speech, other than a plan to improve cellular service to 50 communities, including Midale, Macoun and Torquay. “All of the generalities that are within the Throne Speech

will affect Estevan and the constituency one way or another,” said Carr. Among the other highlights of the speech are: expand parental leave from 37 weeks to 63 weeks and add an additional week of maternity leave; introduce changes to improve commercial driver training; and introduce legislation on trespassing laws to better address

Provincial government releases throne speech Estevan MLA Lori Carr is praising the contents of the provincial Throne Speech, which was released Oct. 24 at the start of the fall sitting of the Saskatchewan Legislature. It was the first throne speech for both Premier Scott Moe and Lieutenant Governor W. Thomas Malloy. “While our economy and the province’s finances are showing signs of improvement, we are still facing challenges due to the threat of a damaging federal carbon tax, continued sanctions from the United States on our steel and uranium industries, and a deeply discounted price for our oil caused by a lack of pipelines,” Moe said. “This Throne Speech outlines our commitment to stand up for Saskatchewan by growing our economy and continuing to deliver important programs and services for the people of the province.” Carr echoed the premier’s stance on the carbon tax, saying it would be ineffective and cause harm to the Estevan area. “It affects probably pretty much everybody within the

No ﬁresale here: Crescent Point Energy By Brian Zinchuk brian.zinchuk@sasktel.net

The Crescent Point Energy Corp. doesn’t plan on selling off assets at fire sale rates, it’s looking into using rail facilities that are currently idle, and service companies probably shouldn’t expect much in the way of increases. Those were some of the nuggets that came out of its third quarter results conference call on Oct. 25. Craig Bryksa, president and CEO, said they’re getting a lot of questions on their divestment strategy. “We described ourselves in the past as being a fairly focused company, but when you look at us, we’ve really been working in 11 areas. We want to pare that down to about five-ish, to really become more focused and efficient,” he said. The other theme of the strategy is balance sheet strength, and in particular, strengthening it. One of the methods is disposition of 50,000 barrels per day (bpd) over time. “It’s going to take time. And with the macro market that we’re living in, both with commodity prices, and then recently, with differentials, this is something we’re going to be very disciplined to. We’re going to ensure we get fair value for the assets we do sell. It doesn’t do us any favours to just blow assets out the door for discounted rates, so we are not going to do that by any means. “So what you’re going to see from us is a very flexible but disciplined process, very methodical over the next 12 to 24 months as we reshape the company. As deals are done, we will let the market know at that time,” Bryksa said, adding he doesn’t want to see them backed into any corners. Asked about the use of crude-by-rail, and if they’re not going to use their own facilities, could they handle third party volumes, Bryksa said, “At the moment, we’re not using our rail facility in southeast Saskatchewan.

Obviously, we’ve been working the numbers, looking at deals. From that perspective, as you know obviously any deal, rail companies are looking for some term. At this 10 seconds, we don’t have any deal in place.” He also noted the option of trucking into North Dakota. The Stoughton facility was previously handling upwards of 30,000 barrels per day, but has the capacity of up to 40,000 barrels per day. They also have 10,000 to 15,000 bpd of rail capacity in southwest Saskatchewan, but it is unused. Sky-high oil price differentials have been making headlines. Asked about this, he noted their pricing on southwest Saskatchewan oil, at Fosterton, is currently about $10 to $11 better, per barrel, than Western Canadian Select oil. That’s the oil that’s been seeing differentials of up to US$50 per barrel against West Texas Intermediate. For service companies hoping to see an increase on their vendor rates, don’t expect too much. Asked about possible inflation from service companies in 2019, Bryksa said, “Right now, overall, we’re seeing fairly flat numbers, so that’s what we’ve got forecasting into next year as well.” In more general comments, Bryksa said, “In early September, we announced the transition plan and key deliverables that were designed to ensure Crescent Point becomes a more focused, returns-driven company with a stronger balance sheet. In particular, we expect to generate increased free cashflow through a more-disciplined capital program and cost savings. “Although we are in the very early stages of implementing our plan, we have completed the reorganizational restructuring we announced last month. We expect the reorganization to result in approximately $50 million in annual cost savings, starting in the fourth quarter of 2018.”

Crescent Point’s third quarter production averaged 174,275 barrels of oil equivalent (boepd) boepd, comprised of approximately 90 per cent oil and liquids. Average production during the quarter was slightly ahead of forecast and takes into account approximately 4,800 boepd of previously announced noncore asset dispositions that closed at the end of second quarter. The company’s fourth quarter production estimate is currently tracking ahead of forecast, based on an annual guidance of 177,000 boepd. Operating activity within Crescent Point’s Canadian assets resumed at the beginning of third quarter following normal seasonality related to spring break-up. In the Viewfield Bakken and Shaunavon resource plays, the company is focused on a combination of low-risk, high-return infill drilling and waterflood development. In the Flat Lake resource play, Crescent Point’s return-focused development strategy is expected to generate improved efficiencies by utilizing new facilities, implementing pad drilling and reducing costs. The company’s average selling price per barrel of crude oil was CDN$80.11 during third quarter. Despite the recent widening of Canadian oil differentials, Crescent Point expects its realized oil pricing in fourth quarter to be significantly stronger than Canadian index prices as approximately 90 per cent of the company’s oil production is either located downstream of recent apportionment points or in the United States. As a result, Crescent Point currently expects its average crude oil selling price in fourth quarter to be only approximately 15 per cent lower compared to third quarter, based on realized prices to date and current forward pricing. Crescent Point said it remains committed to achieving its transition plan deliverables, which are centered around a focused asset base, balance sheet strength, improved margins and increased free cash flow generation. During its recent strategy review, the company identified a number of assets as potential divestment candidates. Crescent Point is targeting a net debt to funds flow from operations of 1.3 times or less over the next 12 to 24 months and will be disciplined during the divestiture process to ensure appropriate asset values are realized for shareholders. Craig Bryksa said, “We remain committed to achieving each of our deliverables

and will keep our shareholders informed as we execute our strategy. Once we achieve our goals, we expect to be in a stronger position to allocate increased free cash flow to other value creating opportunities.” During the third quarter Crescent Point drilled 112 wells (107.2 net) in the Williston Basin (which is principally southeast Saskatchewan, but

also includes North Dakota), 90 wells (54.7 net) in southwest Saskatchewan, eight wells (3.6 net) in the Uinta Basin, and five wells (3.7 net) elsewhere. That totalled approximately $366.4 million for drilling, $45 million on facilities and seismic, and $5 million spent on land. On Oct. 23, 2018, the Canadian federal government announced a new carbon pric-

ing policy, which is expected to apply to Crescent Point’s Saskatchewan operations beginning in April 2019. The direct impact from this policy is expected to be minimal, with incremental costs representing less than one percent of annual funds flow from operations. In Flat Lake, the company is utilizing new facilities, implementing pad drilling and reducing costs.

EPS apprehend two impaired drivers during high-visibility check stops Friday night Members of the Estevan Police Service conducted high-visibility check stops during the Oct. 26 and 27 night shifts. More than 750 vehicles were checked each night. Two people were charged for impaired driving during the Oct. 26 night shift. Their names were not immediately released. In addition to the two individuals, one driver blew a warn on the roadside screening device and received a 120-day driving suspension. Their vehicle was impounded for seven days. Another driver was also checked and also blew a warn, which resulted in a 30-day driving suspension and a three-day vehicle impoundment. As for the Oct. 27 night shift, one motorist was charged with operating an unregistered vehicle and operating a vehicle without an appropriate licence under the Traffic Safety Act. Both charges have penalties rang-

ing from $150 to $580. Police received a report of an assault from a north end business early during the Oct. 23 day shift. Statements were taken and police are attempting to obtain a video from the business to assist with identifying the suspect. The matter remains under investigation. Officers received a call about a group of people making threats to a young man. Police have been gathering statements and obtaining video and audio evidence of the offence. The matter remains under investigation. Police are investigating a driving complaint that resulted in a collision at an intersection. Charges are pending for one driver. No injuries were reported. Members received a report of stolen money from a local property and are investigating. Police were called to the skate park for a report of a fight. Two male youths were charged under the bylaw for

fighting in public. Members stopped a vehicle entering the city for speeding. The driver was found to be a suspended driver and was charged accordingly. The vehicle was impounded for 30 days. Police were called to a two-vehicle accident in east Estevan on Highway 39 during the Oct. 24 day shift. As a result of the investigation, the driver of a car that rear-ended a truck was charged with driving without due care and attention. The 31-year-old Frobisher man was assessed a $280 fine under the Traffic Safety Act for this offence. Nobody was injured, but the car had to be towed from the scene. A male who was on court-ordered conditions was arrested during the Oct. 24 day shift. He was subsequently arrested for failing to abide by those conditions and possession of a controlled substance. He was held for a court appearance.

Members responded to a collision on King Street during the Oct. 24 night shift. Minor injuries were reported, and Estevan Emergency Medical Services were able to examine the person on scene. One driver was charged under the Traffic Safety Act for failing to yield when making a lane change. A 22-year-old man from Estevan was arrested during the Oct. 24 night shift for allegedly breaching his release conditions and for possession of meth and heroin. He was held in custody and appeared in Estevan Provincial Court on Oct. 25. Police received a report that night of mischief that occurred on Oct. 22 at an east end residence. A window was broken on a garage and some damage occurred to a vehicle. The matter remains under investigation. If anyone has any information in regards to this crime, please call the Estevan Police or Crime Stoppers. Members were called to

a residence on the city’s north end during the Oct. 25 day shift for a report of an individual who refused to leave. Police arrived and arrested a 46-year-old Estevan woman for being unlawfully in a dwelling, breaching courtordered release conditions and possession of a controlled substance. She was held in custody and was taken to court where she was held for a further appearance. Officers responded to a complaint of a male stealing property from a yard on Sereggela Place during the Oct. 27 day shift. A 55-yearold Estevan resident was arrested at a nearby business and was released on a promise to appear for court in December. The EPS received a complaint of a mischief to a vehicle in the 1600-block of First Street. The matter is still under investigation and the EPS asks the public to call the police if they notice suspicious activity in their

neighbourhood. Members responded to a complaint of a male trespassing in a residence on Sereggela Place. An 18-yearold male from Macoun was located a short distance away with the help of the homeowner and arrested. He was found to be in possession of a controlled substance, and has been charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of proceeds of crime. He was lodged in cells until sober and will be released in front of a justice of the peace, with conditions, on Oct. 28. Police also received multiple calls about scams. Some of them were the Canada Revenue Agency scam reports and another one that was reported is through Facebook. It is a page or an ad that comes up and asks people to click on it to apply for a grant. People are asked to use caution with all of these types of scams and if they have concerns, to contact their local police agency.

Passing lanes to be constructed next year There are still some details that need to be worked out, but it appears passing lanes will be added for Highway 39 between Estevan and Weyburn next year. The provincial government made the announcement earlier this month with the announcement of the fall tenders. The work will be completed during next year’s construction season. It ’s not known how many sets of passing lanes will be constructed between Estevan and Weyburn, or where exactly those passing lanes will be built. Two sets of passing lanes have been constructed on Highway 6 south of Regina this year, in the first phase of the government’s

plan to have a combination of passing lanes and twinning on Highways 39 and 6 between Estevan and Regina. One set opened early in October, and the other set opened late last week. Completion of the second set was delayed due to non-co-operative weather conditions earlier this month. Double lanes have also been under construction for Highway 6 south of Regina. “By the time we hit the end of the construction season here, the plan is to have the whole thing fully opened,” said Estevan MLA Lori Carr, who is also the minister for Highways and Infrastructure. “If you’re

coming into Regina in the winter months, all of that construction is going to be completely gone on the south side of the city.” She said she makes a point to travel Highways 39 and 6 when venturing from Estevan to Regina because of the work taking place. “I know it’s something new for people in southern Saskatchewan, and it’s not something we have,” said Carr. When she was in Montreal a few years ago, Carr encountered passing lanes for the first time, and found they worked well, thanks in part to the signage in place. “You just get used to them, you know they ’re coming up, you’re way more

patient, and you don’t take that chance that you might have taken, because you know those passing lanes are there,” said Carr. She is looking forward to when the passing lanes are finished, and they are opened up. There will be up to 16 sets of passing lanes constructed between Regina and Estevan, and there will be some twinning as well. Earlier this year, the government announced plans to twin a short stretch of Highway 39 east of Weyburn, but that project is not included in next year’s plans. Passing lanes will be constructed on Highway 39 from Weyburn to Corinne in 2020.

ECS to preparing to cut Footloose this fall By David Willberg dwillberg@estevanmercury.ca

Traditionally the Estevan Comprehensive School has staged a musical for the community once every two years. But due to a timing issue, the school is going to offer a musical for the second straight year. And young people and adults involved with the show are thrilled at the prospect. Students at the school have been rehearsing for the school’s production of Footloose. Performances will take place on Nov. 29 and 30 at 7 p.m., and Dec. 1 and 2 at 2 p.m. All four will be in the school’s cafetorium. Evanne Wilhelm, who is the co-director of the musical, said the rehearsals are progressing well, and it helps that many of the kids are involved with a musical for the third time in four years. “Usually they only get two (musicals), and Footloose is a show that’s more challenging,” Wilhelm told the Mercury. “There’s definitely a lot of dramatic challenge with the acting. There’s a lot of dancing challenges, because it’s such a huge dance show.” The experienced cast and crew members have been mentoring the younger students who are in their first show. “They really have a strong sense of how important it is to pass that on to the next gen-

I’m really pleased with my seniors this year. It’s going to be a really hard group to say good-bye to.” The school decided to do a musical this year, rather than continue with the traditional biennial schedule, because of the timing of some potential maternity leaves for the

school’s staff. Footloose has a cast of about 46 students, and a backstage crew of another 20 students. Another 10 or 20 youths will come on board for hair and makeup, and close to 20 staff and parent volunteers are working behind the scenes on various committees. It seems like almost everyone in the school will be involved in some way, she said,

or will support the musical by coming to see it and possibly bringing someone with them. She doesn’t expect the musical will become an annual tradition, because of the amount of time it takes to make the show happen. Wilhelm expects Footloose will be an appealing show for the community,

similar to Grease in 2015 and School of Rock in 2017. The 1984 movie starring Kevin Bacon was a big hit, and the title song remains popular today. “A lot of the parents that I have of the cast right now grew up knowing that movie and that soundtrack, so it’s really helpful to fuel that in-

terest in the community,” said Wilhelm. Multiple stages will be set up within the cafetorium, bringing the show closer to the audience. It’s a new wrinkle for this year’s musical. “I always try to do something new,” said Wilhelm. “Last year we had digital scenery happening on the walls, and this year we have the stages built into the audience. So no matter where you sit, at some point, you’re really going to be almost in a front row seat, because the characters are moving to stages that are set up within the seating areas.” The first sneak peek of the production was held during the United Way Estevan’s telethon on Friday night. Students performed two large group numbers and three other songs, including a solo. A large crowd filled the Royal Canadian Legion’s Estevan branch to watch the performance. They have also performed a couple of photo shoots and videos to help with promotion. Tickets are on sale at Pharmasave. A presale day in the school for those involved with Footloose generated $5,700. In the first four hours tickets were available at Pharmasave, they brought in $2,500 in tickets. None of the shows have been sold out, as of Monday morning. Two more VIP tables have been added for this year, so eight VIP tables are available for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday shows. The proceeds from this year’s musical will be directed to the cost of having future musicals at the school.

Curling in Estevan beneďŹ ts from major boost from the McGillicky family By Corey Atkinson sports@estevanmercury.ca

The McGillicky family, through McGillicky Oilfield Construction, has been one of the biggest donors to the roaring game and a major part of the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resurgence in the Estevan area. Their donation and support of the McGillicky Lounge at the Power Dodge Curling Club has helped turn the lounge into a facility where people can go for post-curling socializing as well as it being used by non-curlers. â&#x20AC;&#x153; We started cur ling about 12 years ago and we enjoyed it, and got into it,â&#x20AC;? said Randy McGillicky, president of McGillicky Oilfield Construction from the lounge that bears his companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started curling with a couple of friends here, at the Oilmenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (bonspiel) and did a couple of other bonspiels. We just thought it would be great for the community to help out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped with the improvement of this place quite a bit. You see more people now, and a lot younger people joining too.â&#x20AC;? That help has been much appreciated by the curling club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a game-changer for us, upstairs, without a doubt,â&#x20AC;? said club manager

Pauline Ziehl Grimsrud. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the McGillickyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s came on, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the opportunity with their support to redo the lounge upstairs, and with the granting programs weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put all new furniture up here, the Cool Curling tables, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve refitted the bar because the

original bar is still in here. New coolers, new glassware, you name it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve touched pretty much every surface in this area, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s due to the support that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The support weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve received from McGillicky is a

huge reason why we were able to make this a more appealing room, I would say, for people to come up and spend their time.â&#x20AC;? Now that the improvements have been made, Ziehl Grimsrud said the membership can enjoy coming up not just on the nights they curl but to use the facility for other evenings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appealing for young people too,â&#x20AC;? said McGillicky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They see the couches and the Cool Curling tables, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something to do if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not curling.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The atmosphere is really good up here now,â&#x20AC;? said curling club president Devon Fornwald. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You come up here and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more socializing going on and everybody that comes up here now likes to say how much itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really changed.â&#x20AC;? People stick around longer, Ziehl Grimsrud said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And sometimes when you see something every day you forget how much of a change

this is, but we have a team that comes up from Williston (North Dakota) and when they came up on Tuesday they were just blown away with a beautiful lounge.â&#x20AC;? There is a whole lot of new furniture, including replacing the old long tables. Of course, the lounge still also has a great view of the onice action at the Power Dodge Curling Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was something we started doing as our kids got older and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be there with our kids,â&#x20AC;? said Sheila McGillicky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something we took up later on in our years. We really enjoyed it and enjoyed the social aspect of it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we can do together, instead of just sitting at home on the couch,â&#x20AC;? said Randy McGillicky. In addition to the donations the family company have made, Randy and Sheila have volunteered at the SaskTel Tankard, which took place

last January and February at Affinity Place, and will also be volunteering at Decemberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Hardware Canada Cup, Fornwald said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great addition to the club just to even have them as members,â&#x20AC;? Fornwald said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably fair to say that the additional people at the curling lounge have helped steer the club into helping host events like the Tankard and Canada Cup, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been a benefit to the club for those who want to rent the facility for Christmas parties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People come up here because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice place to hang out and enjoy the atmosphere,â&#x20AC;? said Fornwald. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sponsorship money that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put forward helps us but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an uptick in lounge rentals. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped the bottom line for the curling club a lot. Without it, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be struggling a little bitâ&#x20AC;Ś â&#x20AC;&#x153;It definitely helps everything.â&#x20AC;?

Bruins beat Mustangs to close road trip After a week of frustration in the Sherwood Division, the Power Dodge Estevan Bruins unleashed a deluge of goals in their last road game there this week, a 9-4 clobbering of the Melfort Mustangs Saturday. The Bruins scored three goals in each period in the decisive victory, their first in four games in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northernmost division and their final one on their weeklong road trip. Turner Ripplinger, Eddie Gallagher and T.J. Irey scored in the first period for

the Bruins, while Irey, Jayden Davis and Bryce Platt scored in the second. Davis, with his second, Jake Heerspink and George Cathers scored the Bruins third period goals. This was Davisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first twogoal game in the SJHL. Kadin Kilpatrick made 27 saves in the Bruins net in his first win since Sept. 18 against Yorkton and first start since Oct. 3 against Notre Dame. Friday night, the Bruins lost their third game in a row in a 3-2 loss to the La Ronge Ice Wolves where they fired 49 shots at La Rongeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new goaltender Daniel Davidson.

Irey led off the scoring for the Bruins in the first period in La Ronge but the Ice Wolves scored thrice in the second period. Heerspink scored before the end of the period but the Bruins couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tie it up in the third despite outshooting the Ice Wolves 18-9 in the final frame. Jake Anthony stopped 31 of 34 shots in the Bruins net.

Estevan peewee Bear Cats goaltender Riley Scott tries to cover the rebound in the face of pressure from the Balcarres Barracudas Saturday at the Power Dodge Ice Centre.

Peewee Bear Cats win their ďŹ rst game of season After scoring five first period goals, the Estevan peewee Bear Cats were able to get their first win of the season over the Balcarres Barracudas. The Bear Cats won 7-2 in Saskatchewan Female Peewee Hockey League action on the strength of four goals from Kaylin Wilhelm. Kasenya Einarson scored two and Madison Mack scored a single in the game, while Kallie MacMillan added four assists. Riley Scott got the win in net. The Bear Cats will play on the road this weekend, with games at Gull Lake Saturday against the South-

west Cyclones and in Swift Current Sunday against the Swift Current Ice Cats. The midget AA South East Goldwings meanwhile won a pair of 6-0 home games in Midale over the weekend over the Swift Current Broncos. On Saturday. Estevanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marci LeBlanc opened the scoring 4:44 into the first period and added another later in the game. Dallas Prawdzik also scored a pair, while Taylor Rooney and Br ynn Kuntz added singles. LeBlanc also added a pair of assists in the game. Kara Zelyck got the shutout in net. S u n d a y â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s g a m e w a s

closer for a long time as the Goldwings only had a 1-0 lead after 40 minutes. Alyssa Ohrt had the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only goal in that time frame but the Bear Cats exploded for five goals in the third period. LeBlanc, Haley Labbie, Jordan Meyers, Karleigh MacKenzie and Kendra Kotylak each scored in the latter half of the third period. Taryn McKinney picked up the shutout in net for the Goldwings. The Goldwings will next see league action Nov. 6 in Regina against the Rebels. The midget A TS&M South East Goldwings had a pair of ties on the weekend,

drawing 3-3 in Balgonie against the Prairie Storm Friday and 1-1 in Carlyle against the W ildcats on Saturday Torquay â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ally Park scored two in Balgonie, and the tying goal was scored by Katelyn Muchowski on the power play with 6:10 left in the third period. Riley Schultz was in net for the tie. C a r l y l e â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s C o u r t n e y Roppel scored the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first goal at 15:18 of the first period but Park tied the game at 7:13 of the second period. The teams could not find a goal again the rest of the game. Schultz was in net for the Goldwings and Kalli

Adams was in net for the Wildcats. The Goldwingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next game is Nov. 3 against the Regina Renegades in Midale. The Bantam Bear Cats lost 6-2 at home to the Prairie Storm. Jacey Farr and Karissa Elliot scored for the Bear Cats, with Karmi Olfert getting a pair of assists. Emmey Rae was the goaltender of record for the Bear Cats.

The Estevan atom Bear Catsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next game is Sunday in Weyburn against the AtoMc Gold.

Midget Bruins split weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s road action The Estevan Apex midget AA Bruins got a pair of very different results from road games on the weekend. The Bruins lost 3-2 in Wilcox to the Notre Dame Hounds Friday night and then took the Yorkton Terriers easily with a 9-1 win in Yorkton in South Saskatchewan

Midget AA Hockey League action. Friday, Tanner Stovin scored 13:25 into the first period to tie the game up and the second period was scoreless. At 14:14 of the third, Tristan Seeman scored to give the Bruins a brief lead but the Hounds responded

31 seconds later to tie the game. With only 54 seconds left, Notre Dameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Keegan Willier-Ferguson broke the tie and gave the Hounds the win. The Bruins were outshot 39-21 in the game, including 13-2 in the third period. Zane Winter stopped 36 shots in the loss.

Saturday was a much different story as the Bruins slowly took over the game on the scoresheet before exploding for five goals in the third period. Kelby Widenmaier, Dalton Schrader, Trey Stovin and Jared Fornwald each scored for Estevan in the first 40 minutes as the Bruins as-

sumed a 4-0 lead. In the third, Chase Gedak scored a pair, Widenmaier scored his second and Joey Meredith and Kieran Stewart each scored singles to salt away the game for the Bruins. Schrader and Gedak each had three assists in the game. The Bruins outshot the

Terriers 41-36 in the game. Winter stopped 35 shots in the win. The next league game for the Bruins is Friday in Regina against the Capitals and their next home game is Nov. 4 at home to the Moose Jaw Warriors. Game time is 5:15 p.m. at Affinity Place.

flames. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No sooner than we got that one taken care of then we were dispatched to another reported controlled burn that was now out of control, and that was to the northeast of the city by the airport,â&#x20AC;? said Fire Chief Dale Feser. The landowner met the firefighters and guided them from the airport, as Feser said the fire was in a remote location. The fire was easily contained and brought under control. The third call came in just before 1:30 p.m. It was a reported structure fire at Midtown Manor. Firefighters went to the building, and when they arrived, they found it to be a contractor who was working on the fire alarm system, and set off several detection devices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fire alarm company was actually reporting several hits on several different locations,â&#x20AC;? said Feser. The contractor neglected to contact the monitoring agency to make them aware of the maintenance. Firefighters assessed the situation and found it was easily manageable, and spoke to the contractor about proper protocol. The fire department also had a couple of calls on Oct. 20. The first was at the Estevan Police Service building. EPS members said they could see smoke coming from a ventilation vent in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s washroom on the main floor. When crews arrived on scene, they could see the haze

coming from the ventilation system. After further investigation, they found the issue stemmed from a stand-alone ventilation fan for the bathroom system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did find that a motor had suffered a mechanical failure and overheated, so we isolated power to that particular unit, let it cool down and evacuated the smoke from the building,â&#x20AC;? said Feser. Later that day, the fire department was called to a rollover on Highway 39 west of Hitchcock. (For more on that accident, please see page A6). A two-vehicle collision at the junction of the truck bypass and Highway 39 east of the city was reported Oct. 26. There was no entrapment and no report of injuries. Estevan Emergency Medical Services treated and released all of the individuals on the scene. No fluids leaked as a result of the collision. There was minor damage, and both vehicles were still drivable after the accident. The scene was turned over to law enforcement agencies to continue their investigation. Firefighters were also called to a residential fire alarm in northeast Estevan on Oct. 27. When firefighters arrived, they found a cooking-related incident had occurred, and a little smoke was lingering in the home. Ventilation fans were set up to remove the smoke from the home, and reduce the smell of the burned cooking.

Browning 4H Club achievement day Submitted by Jenna Fleury and Carmen Neumier Members of the Browning 4-H Club participated in an achievement day recently at an indoor riding arena on a farm near Lampman. Club members participated in six different judged competitions: showmanship, trail pattern, western pleasure, equitation, horsemanship and judging. The first five categories had participants in all four age groups â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cloverbud, junior, intermediate and senior. The judging category did not include cloverbuds. The cloverbuds (ages six to eight) were Jenna Fleury, Carmen Neumier, Bella Tedmord and Arizona Spenser. Juniors (ages nine to 12) were Sierra Englot and Karina Hjorteland. Intermediates (ages 1315) were Hannah Hjorteland and Sarah McGillicky. Ashley Kerslake was the only senior, which is for ages 16-21. Glenn Gress, Cheri Gress and Stacey Kerslake were the coaches. In the cloverbuds, Fleury was first in showmanship, Spenser was first in trail patterns and western pleasure, and Neumier was first in equitation and horsemanship. Tedmond had a second place finish in trail patterns for her best result. Hjorteland was first in showmanship, western pleasure, equitation and horsemanship for the juniors, while Englot was first in trail pattern. In the intermediate division, Hjorteland was first in showmanship, western pleasure, equitation, while McGillicky was first in trail pattern and horsemanship. Showmanship involves how the 4H member shows their horse and how the horse and rider work as a team. Trail pattern is an obstacle pattern where points are deducted if the horse steps on or hits any of the obstacles.

Western pleasure is a riding class where the kids walk and trot, with 60 per cent of the score based on the horse. Equitation is another riding class where the youths walk and trot their horse, and 60 per cent is for the rider.

Horsemanship is a practised pattern where the youths are judged on how they perform as a team with their horse. The judge for these events was Pat Dayman from Corning.

After the activities, the youths and families met for a potluck meal, and trophies, prizes and ribbons were handed out. There were many sponsors who made it possible to give prizes to the 4-H members.
