MNP provided valuable support to Creighton Lodge and Midale Swimming Pool

Estevan MNP partners made two valuable and much-needed contributions to southeast community organizations this week.

O n M o n d a y, R y a n Stepp and David Hammermeister, who are partners with MNP in Estevan, presented Midale Mayor Allan Hauglum with a cheque for $15,000 that will be used for the Midale swimming pool. The money was raised by MNP’s local partners in Estevan and will go towards a much-needed new boiler for the large pool this summer.

“MNP has always been committed to supporting the communities in rural Saskatchewan where we live and work,” said Stepp. “We are proud to contribute to the improvement of the Midale swimming pool for families to enjoy this summer.”

Wednesday saw Stepp and Hammermeister visiting Creighton Lodge to make another donation.

Since there was no 4-H sale in Estevan this year, kids were tasked with selling their animals privately. One of the club members reached out to MNP, and partners decided to support them and purchased a steer, which was then processed and donated to Creighton Lodge.

Lodge manager Shelly Veroba said that the donation will help them a lot.

“We really appreciate it because a) beef is getting more and more expensive every day due to COVID-19, and b) it just helps us to keep the cost down here at the lodge, to have everybody that does come for our meals and we pride ourselves in our meals,” said Veroba. “So MNP are just going to partner with us to make sure that our meals for 2020 are going to be that much better.”

She added that they usually alternate different types of meat and fish on their menu. They also know a hundred different ways to cook beef and get creative with their meals, which allows them to have diversity while using up all the supplies.

Veroba expects that the beef donated by MNP will last them for about eight months.

“We really appreciate this. We can’t say thank you enough because it truly helps us with the seniors and it brightens their days, too. With the COVID-19 (it helps) to make sure they know that the community businesses are still thinking about them,” said Veroba.

MNP is a leading national accounting, tax and business consulting firm in Canada. They serve and respond to the needs of their clients in the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.

Music lovers enjoyed a Saskatchewan first in Lampman on June 13.

A drive-in concert was held at the town’s campground, featuring Saskatchewan country music singer Justin LaBrash and his band True North. Forty-eight vehicles passed through the gates for the event, and 202 people were counted for the attendance.

Proceeds from the concert were directed to the Lampman branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Justin LaBrash was born in Regina and currently resides in Lumsden, but he has family in the southeast region and has spent a lot of time in the Kisbey area. His mother Laureen said they might have been able to squeeze in a couple more vehicles, but that would have been difficult.

“Everybody followed the guidelines that are in place with the social distancing and the requirements for shows like this. Everything just went well,” said Laureen.

The wind was the only issue, as it forced concert organizers to keep relocating the FM antenna and adjusting it throughout the show. Instruments needed to be placed on the stage so they wouldn’t blow away when they weren’t in use.

Justin said it was a thrill to be back on stage, and this was his first concert since the pandemic.

“It was a huge success,” he said. “They had a sold out crowd of more than 200 people, and raised some good funds for the Lampman Legion, and was able to kick off something that I think is going to be a cool event to carry us through the summer,” said Justin.

He compared the concert to “riding a bike,” for both him and the band members, since they didn`t forget how to put on a good show.

“We’re really looking forward to being able to work with the guys again, and get back on the road again and feel somewhat normal,” he said.

Justin was supposed to come to Lampman to perform at a fundraiser for the legion in March, but that concert was dashed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. So both sides started looking into how they could make this happen.

They found out they could hold the concert, as long as they followed certain guidelines. All vehicles were parked five metres apart, people had to remain in the vehicle and no concession stand was closed.

“It was five months and a week between the time the boys ( Justin and True North) and played together, until they stepped on the stage (in Lampman), because they couldn’t have a rehearsal, and they were staying isolated and being extremely careful,” said Laureen.

The legion and the Town of Lampman/Rural Municipality of Browning Recreation Board played a big role in making the event happen, Laureen said. The Prairie Dog Drive-In allowed Justin and True North to play a set of songs before the movie on June 12 to help promote the Lampman show.

It took 10 days to plan the drive-in concert, from when the concept was conceived to when the show began.

“Justin just felt strongly about it, and so we went with it,” said Laureen. “The Lampman legion was just incredible to work with. The volunteers there were so excited.”

The concert had added meaning because his 100-year-old great grandfather, Albert Hale of Kisbey, was there, along with Justin’s grandparents, Grant and Marilyn Hale.

Since the Lampman concert, nine drive-in shows have been booked. Laureen believes this is a direction that live music will be headed in the coming months, especially since there hasn’t been any discussion of concerts happening indoors in the Re-Open Saskatchewan Plan.

“With some tweaking, it can happen very safely, but it’s something they have to work through, and until then, this is an option for some artists that are able to do it,” said Laureen.

The Estevan Fire Rescue Service (EFRS) had a busy week with a number of calls for service.

It started last Monday at about 3 p.m., when crews were alerted to a vehicle and grass fires occurring northwest of Hitchcock. Once crews arrived on scene, it was found that the vehicle suffered a mechanical failure and caught on fire, also setting the vegetation around it on fire.

“There were no injuries as a result of the fire. Crews were able to get in and suppress both vegetation and vehicle fire,” said Estevan Fire Chief Dale Feser.

The cause of the fire is under investigation. While recent rains didn’t allow the grass fire to spread, the vehicle suffered significant damage and was a write-off.

The next call came in Tuesday night. At about 9 p.m., firefighters were called out to a collision in Bienfait, in which a vehicle hit a tree.

“Crews arrived on scene to indeed find that the vehicle was still there with two occupants and full airbag deployment,” said Feser.

EMS checked and released the occupants of the vehicle on scene. Firefighters isolated the vehicle and turned it over to the RCMP

for further investigation.

While crews were on that call, another call came in. This time a commercial fire alarm went off in the north-central area of Estevan. Crews responded. While on scene, along with the property maintenance manager, they reviewed the fire alarm panel, which was indicating that the detection head was activated on the third floor.

Firefighters checked the area with thermal-imaging cameras, but outside of a very high humidity level in the building, no cause for the alarm was found.

“(High humidity) was troubling this particular detection head,” said Feser. “The scene was turned back over to the building maintenance manager with recommendations to get that fire alarm detection device fixed.”

Sunday night turned out to be busy as well for the EFRS members and the Estevan RCMP. Shortly after 10 p.m., Estevan firefighters were called to assist with the road accident, in which a vehicle hit a deer. The collision happened about one kilometre east of Bienfait on Highway 18. Fire crews attended the scene and helped with traffic control.

The vehicle sustained minor damage, but as a result of the collision, it left the road surface and ended up in the ditch. However, it was still drivable.

Feser said that no injuries or entrapment occurred as a result of the incident.

Once the scene was deemed safe, it was turned over to the RCMP and fire crews returned to the station.

Firefighters responded to a very special request on Saturday morning.

“We were informed that one of the Estevan little residents was returning home from the Saskatoon ( Jim Pattison) Children’s Hospital. And it was also her birthday, so all the emergency services gathered around to … make her birthday special and make her feel welcome back home,” said Feser.

The birthday parades, initiated by the Estevan Police Service early in the spring, were discontinued a few weeks ago. However, Feser said that they always consider special requests and do their best to support residents during their hard times.

On Tuesday night the EFRS also reintegrated into their regular training that was partially put on pause and partially being done online since March due to COVID-19.

The fire department also continued with the inspections for the business license applications. While this is something that is done throughout the year, due to COVID-19 the EFRS had to put it on pause and now is trying to catch up with the pace, and they have been quite successful.
