SERVING THE ENERGY CITY FOR 111 YEARS
Estevan’s inaugural Energy Expo meets City’s expectations By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca
Estevan’s inaugural Energy Expo didn’t draw dynamic crowds, but it allowed exhibitors from various companies to spread their message and make connections over the two-day period. Thirty-nine booths were crammed into Affinity Place on June 11, and company representatives spent the next two days interacting with other exhibitors and the general public. The initial concept for the event came to fruition about a year ago, according to Manpreet Sangha, Estevan’s economic development officer. In an attempt to further promote the energy industry in the region, the idea evolved into an expo the City plans to host every two years, alternating with Weyburn’s Oil Show, and placing a heavier emphasis on alternative energy opportunities. The Boundary Dam Power
Station’s $1.4 billion carbon capture project, which will safely store approximately one million tonnes of CO2 per year and greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, is the first of its kind and will be a significant part of the Energy Expo for years to come. Sangha said despite the inability to tour the facilities at the dam due to commissioning reasons, a virtual tour was available for those interested in the project. She said the public can look forward to tours on location at the Boundary Dam Reservoir during the next expo, alongside a variety of outdoor exhibits. Mitch Carlson, manager of business development at SaskEnergy, had a booth set up and was one of the keynote speakers during the expo’s final day. The second half of his presentation in the conference area next to the exhibits was dedicated to liquefied natural gas and its positive capabilities, a
seemingly excellent fit for the overall theme the expo was trying to push. However, much like the obstacles Carlson pointed out during his presentation involving a lack of an established liquefied natural gas presence in the province, which makes it difficult for the product to gain traction, the expo appeared to endure the same challenges, as tables in the conference hall were largely vacant. This was most likely as a result of the expo’s lack of established presence in the area something Sangha pointed out as well. Nevertheless, Carlson said he was happy to be a part of the event, and wanted to help promote the energy industry in Saskatchewan. “It looks like it’s starting off as a small event, but we hope in future years it grows,” he said, drawing comparison to the Weyburn Oil Show, which has, over the years, turned into a colossal event. → A2 Energy

Rental rates remain highest in Energy City Estevan rental units continue to outpace the rest of Saskatchewan in terms of price. The rental apartment vacancy rate across Saskatchewan’s urban centres saw an increase from 2013 to 2014, but while more units are available, Estevan saw an increase in average rental prices and remains the most expensive city to rent property in the province. According to the spring rental market survey, re-
leased June 11 by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Estevan saw its vacancy rates for rental units rise from a near statistical impossibility of 0.0 per cent in April 2013 to a 5.5 per cent vacancy rate in April 2014. Estevan continued to reign as the city with the highest monthly rent, with an average two-bedroom apartment costing tenants $1,275 per month, a 10.3 per cent increase from the average a year previous.
That’s also 8.1 per cent higher than the next closest city, Lloydminster, which has an average rent of $1,171 per month. Swift Current remained the lowest average two-bedroom rent at $781 per month in April 2014. Regina and Saskatoon recorded average rents at $1,053 and $1,075, respectively. Weyburn’s average rental price was listed as $942 per month, making it 35 per cent more expensive to rent in → A2 Rental

Two die in plane crash The crash of a single engine Cessna aircraft in a field near Torquay has left two people dead. The two were the sole occupants of the plane that went down at 10:12 a.m. on June 15. The plane had departed from a private airstrip near Torquay and was en route to Lampman when the incident occurred. A father and son, Philip Wimmer, 59 and Bradley Wimmer, 29 of the Oungre area, were located and pronounced dead at
the scene of the crash. Members of the Estevan detachment of the RCMP were among the first to arrive at the scene, and they said they will continue to assist the Canadian Transportation Safety Board officials in their investigation into the cause of the accident. A search was conducted for the aircraft after it was reported overdue in Lampman, which subsequently led to the discovery of the downed plane and the victims.

Rental increases in all categories ← A1 Estevan than its Highway 39 neighbour. The province-wide average rent was $1,036. Estevan saw increases in each category of rental unit, with bachelor units rising from $722 to $749, one-bedroom apartments up from $965 to $1,046 ($158 more than second-place Regina), while three-or-morebedroom units dropped in price from $1,283 last April to $1,240 this year, just one dollar more than Regina’s second-place average for the same-sized unit. The report noted “the addition of newly constructed rental apartments and work camps alleviated some of the rental pressures, which were previously being experienced in
this centre.” Despite the influx of rental units, the prices remain high as newly built rental properties fetch an even higher price. Concerning Estevan and Lloydminster, the report said, “The increase in oil and gas production contributed to the lowest rental vacancies in the province last year, fuelling the demand for additional rental housing in these centres. Builders in Estevan and Lloydminster have responded with the addition of new rental units to the universe, which garner higher than average rent levels.” Along with high prices, Estevan was found to have the fewest rental options available in a city of at least

10,000 people, with the report noting there are 545 private apartment units in the city. That’s fewer than Weyburn, 623; Yorkton,
842; and Swift Current, 834. The province as a whole saw the apartment vacancy rate increase
slightly from 3.0 per cent last April to 3.3 per cent in the same month this year. Goodson Mwale, CMHC senior market analyst for Saskatchewan, attributed the vacancy rate increase to the slower economic pace of the last year. “A slower pace of job creation and weaker wage gains contributed to a slowdown in net migration, which led to a moderation in rental demand and a higher vacancy rate. An increase in the supply of purpose-built rental apartments through new construction also contributed to higher vacancies,” said Mwale.

Energy Expo has good base ← A1 Though people weren’t piling in by the thousands, certain expectations for Estevan’s inaugural energy expo were met, and even exceeded, according to marketing and events coordinator, Rebecca Howie. “We were aiming for 30 to 40 booths this year,” she said, adding the Williston Oil Show in North Dakota only had about 40 people in attendance during its inaugural year. “We were well above the 40 mark when it comes to people coming through the door,” Howie said, while acknowledging the positive feedback she

received from exhibitors, who said they made “great connections.” Public awareness coordinator for Enbridge, Chantal Bourasssa, pointed out how an expo like this makes it easier to communicate with the public, who often have a variety of questions. “The public can come to us and ask about career paths, that’s one avenue,” she said. “It also gives us a chance to talk about what we do in our company and what we do for the community. Some people don’t really know what we’re about.” Sangha and Howie said the overall timing of the event was the biggest challenge the expo faced, as it coincided with the Global Petroleum Show in Calgary, which according to its website, attracts around 63,000 visitors per year.

Apprenticeship credit program getting a lot of attention at Cornerstone By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca
A dozen students from the South East Cornerstone Public School Division schools took a unique yet practical direction in their educational pursuit this past academic year, landing a full course credit while gaining valuable job experiences. Dan Hardern, the career services consultant for Cornerstone, left an administration job in the Manitoba education system to jump aboard a pilot program with the SECPSD and after his first full year on the job, he’s happy with the decision he made and the results achieved to date. “We have more students interested in the apprenticeship credit program than we have businesses in which we can place them,” said Hardern, who was already looking forward to next year’s lineup. The apprenticeship program is no easy way out for young people seeking a high school credit. It requires interest in a selected trade and a commitment to the job. The job comes with a paycheque, a big additional bonus. “What other high school class can you take that makes you money while teaching you a skill?” asked Hardern with a chuckle. The program in the Cornerstone division actually got going in 2009, but really took wing this past year. Six students from the Estevan Comprehensive School got engaged in it as did two from Carnduff while solo entrants were introduced to work site apprenticeship programs in Oxbow, Lampman, Moosomin and Midale. Students, especially those who might be a credit short of a Grade 12 diploma, see this program as a golden opportunity to achieve a couple of goals, Hardern said. “They get their diploma, and they’re on the job, earning money.” The high school apprenticeship program carries some serious obligations though. The student has to be mentored by a qualified and certified journeyman who will also be engaged, to some extent, on skill evaluation. In the first 25 hours on-the-job, the student is monitored twice, followed by a short evaluation session. There is another evaluation in the second phase, which is another 25 hours of on the job participation. A full credit is achievable with 100 hours of monitored and evaluated on-site work. A student, beginning in Grade 11, can earn up to four credits toward a Grade 12 diploma, two in Grade 11 and two more in Grade 12. The evaluation is a joint effort between the journeyman/job site supervisor and the co-operating teacher from the school. In smaller schools, the principal is often the co-operating teacher. In the larger centres, it might be a career counsellor. “I know of at least three students who have taken all four credits, and there will be more by the time we’ve finished evaluating,” said Hardern, commenting on the growing appeal. Once they start, these students usually stick with the trades of their choice. They may have already received introductions to them in vocational classes in Grades 9 and 10. “They won’t take on 400 hours in a trade if they don’t like it,” Hardern said. However, if their interests switch slightly from one trade to another related trade in the early going, their credit hours can be applied to the second choice. “There are three partners in this, the school division and the Ministry of Education that lays out the guidelines and the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship Council that certify and validates the instruction, thus the need for a journeyman instructor/monitor,” said Hardern. Anyone with a Red Seal journeyman paper from anywhere in Canada is qualified. The apprenticeship program hours logged by the high schoolers may be used toward the journeyman status. With most trades, Hardern said,
“They recognize the job security, good wages and the employers are on board because they get someone who wants to be there, they get a young worker who probably has a place to live, and is looking for stability. The trade unions are also buying in and promoting it because they see how they can help their trades grow in numbers.”
— Dan Hardern
that usually means 7,800 hours and a defined skill set. But that can vary a bit from one trade to another since there are 50 recognized skilled trades and sub trades in Saskatchewan. Students striving for apprenticeship status in such institutions as SIAST are well aware of the qualifications. They usually take the on-site and classroom switch-off options during their training regimes, in order to gain apprenticeship status. “Starting in high school, these kids get the training, and they get paid at least the current minimum wage, and what I’m hearing is that while some may start out at the minimum, after the first block or two, they’ve been bumped up a bit on the wage scales,” said Hardern, suggesting that the young students are probably making positive contributions at the work sites shortly after they get involved. The program is flexible enough so that students can get their apprenticeship hours in after regular school, during an afternoon or perhaps on the weekends and even during the summer vacation. Hours achieved on site with evaluation can be directly applied to a SIAST post-graduate program, thus cutting down the hours
they might have to spend in those classrooms. There is a move afoot to get provincial regional colleges into the mix, too, at least for the start-up phases. Getting to and from the job site is the student’s responsibility, and the workplace must conform to all labour laws and since the student is an employee, they are under the employer’s insurance and liability plan monitored by Workers’ Compensation. “If this continues to gain favour, I’m sure Cornerstone will increase its presence, but, of course, it requires provincial ministry money to make it go,” said Hardern. Cornerstone has definitely bought into the concept and besides Hardern, they have assigned a full-time transitions co-ordinator, headquartered in Carlyle to help find positions for students who express interest in the program. But, on that note, Hardern said, it’s still up to the student to make the original contact and placement proposals to the industry, since it gives them another reality-based skill set and immediately helps them build a communications bond with the potential employer. “At each presentation I’ve made at schools, I always get at least five to eight students approaching me who are seeking out more information,” said Hardern. “They recognize the job security, good wages and the employers are on board because they get someone who wants to be there, they get a young worker who probably has a place to live, and is looking for stability. The trade unions are also buying in and promoting it because they see how they can help their trades grow in numbers.” Hardern added that trades are growing significantly in terms of sophistication with highly technical and automated devices and computer skills being deployed where grunt labour used to hold the key to success. “We have simulators coming into our schools, portable devices we can take to the smaller schools to use and demonstrate. Our partners in industry are helping us do that.” On that note, the counsellor said chambers of commerce, industry leaders and the Southeast Education Council that includes the regional college, are partners in the outreach aspect of the program. “The employers are finding out that these kids are making the effort, they’re interested. So far they are meeting expectations or exceeding them. We have a 100 per cent success rate so far,” said Hardern. “These are people who can become long-term employees and the employers are seeing the value in finding local kids who already have roots in their city or town.” The employers like the fact they’re not required to do much, if any, paperwork. The co-operating teacher does that. They just have to participate in an evaluation session. “Even the Saskatchewan Apprenticeship requirements, we do them, too,” said Hardern, who states that in Cornerstone he is “the first call a principal or teacher makes if they identify a student who would benefit from the apprenticeship program.” With a family background in various trades that included construction and road building, among other things, and a professional background as a principal, Hardern is enjoying being the liaison between these two worlds that he loves. In his former high school experience, he helped lead a group of high school students who built RTM homes in Manitoba as part of an education experience that proved very successful. “I’d like to see this particular program blossom around here. We see the big growth in almost all the industries and I want local young people to gain an advantage. I would love to see all of them continue on the path they’ve started so they can eventually become master tradesmen and women,” Hardern said. Over the past two years the program had 17 participating businesses. To meet the upcoming demand, the calls are going out, to get a few more onside since the program is definitely growing in popularity with the senior high school students in southeast Sask.

ECS students compete at Skills Canada By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca
A selection of some of Estevan’s brightest students of industry performed at the annual Skills Canada Competition, with the Comprehensive School celebrating a second-place finish for one of its entrants. Running from June 4 to 7 at the International Centre in Mississauga, the four local students endured the tests and projects before them as they dealt with strict deadlines and challenges. Representing Saskatchewan were Rebecca Blackburn, hairstyling, Regan MacMurchy, mechanical computer-aided design (CAD), and Kyle Goulet and Vincent Dupuis, TV and video production. Grade 12 student Blackburn received a silver medal in the hairstyling competition for her collection of inspired designs. It was her second time at the event, having attended last year’s, and she stepped up her game on the national stage. “We had four different tests. When we arrived, we were handed our mannequin dolls,” said Blackburn, who noted they had four different styles they were required to create: ladies night, ladies day, a trendy man and a bombage. They had three hours and 45 minutes to complete the ladies day design, where they had to cut, colour and style the hair. The second test was the ladies night style, in which they had 90 minutes to complete the design. “We took our ladies day style and
brushed it out and had to style it into a night and do ornamentation with it,” said Blackburn. The trendy man event had the competitors cutting and styling for a man that could be worn day to day. They had two hours to complete the bombage, an Elvis Presley inspired do. Blackburn said as it was her second year in the competition, there were fewer surprises, and she was ready for what the judges were looking for. “I knew what was going to happen. I knew how strict the judges were and how they would scrutinize you and watch you the entire time and found every little way to take marks off you,” she said. This year was also a qualifier for the WorldSkills competition in Brazil next year. “The skill level was way higher and certain teams showed up just because it was qualifying year,” she said. It meant post-secondary students were attending the competition as well. To attend the world tournament, competitors must be between 19 and 22 years old. Blackburn didn’t qualify, but she still had to deal with the elevated expectations from judges. “It was way more advanced this year.” Time was her biggest obstacle because she said she wanted to make everything perfect. Sometimes sacrifices would have to be made due to the clock. MacMurchy placed fifth in the mechanical CAD competition, his first time at Skills Canada.
“It was a really cool experience. There was a lot going on. “They gave us a drawing or an object or something and we just made a 3D model of the object. If there was more than one piece we had to make a working assembly of it,” said MacMurchy. He said it was a great way for students to learn about the opportunities in the trades and what equipment they are able to use. “It was a great experience, personally. I got challenged in a way that I just don’t get challenged around the school here. I learned a couple of things, some of them the hard way,” he added. He said when preparing for the competition, it was about repetition. “My coach just handed me some gross looking blueprints or a weird looking object and told me to make a 3D model of it,” he said, noting at the competition he completed four projects, each with a threehour time limit. Dupuis and Goulet were tasked with creating a short film over the course of the competition and placed eighth. “We had 12 hours to create a video within the parameters of what we were given,” Goulet said about the two-to-fourminute short film they had to put together. “One of the things I noticed that we had to be really careful with was the lighting, especially because there were a lot of ceiling lights that don’t light up well,” added Dupuis. They were judged on all aspects of the film, from camera shots to story points. The
teams were given three genres to choose from, and the Goulet-Dupuis team selected to shoot an action-adventure flick. “We also had to incorporate the line, ‘I have a bad feeling about this.’ Then you get into the technical stuff. We weren’t allowed to do in camera effects, just to make the playing level a little bit more even. They wanted to see if you could make a video where you weren’t allowed to cover up your mistakes with special effects,” said Goulet. They also weren’t allowed to leave the venue grounds to shoot their material, but he said it still gave them lots of space as they could shoot anything inside or outside as long as they didn’t leave the property. The pair of local filmmakers’ short movie involved a character, Goulet, who had to deliver a mysterious black box to another character. “By the end, he finds out there was nothing in the box. It was all a test to bring him into the company,” said Goulet. Like most competitions at Skills Canada, the short film project left little time to waste. Goulet and Dupuis had to very quickly establish a hero, a villain and a problem that needed solving. They also had limited equipment, given just a camera, tripod and microphone. “What I found challenging was just getting the right shot the first time,” said Dupuis. “As it was a very public space, so there was always someone in your way or you’re bumping into each other, so there were a lot of space concerns.”

Ball provides a look into clean coal future at Estevan’s Energy Expo By Norm Park normpark@estevanmercury.ca
Friday’s keynote speaker at Estevan’s Energy Expo addressed only a few postbreakfast delegates, but the few in attendance heard an upbeat message for the future use of coal as a fuel to be counted on heading into the next decade. Max Ball, manager of the SaskPower clean coal project, told the 20 or so people in attendance that with enhanced oil recovery capabilities added to the mix, there was a definite economic model and argument to be made for the carbon dioxide capture project. This is the project that is nearing the completion stage on Unit 3 at the nearby Boundary Dam Power Station. “Our circumstance makes carbon capture a good model to follow,” said Ball, using some power point video slides to enhance his presentation. The fact the official launching of the clean coal project is four months behind schedule was not necessarily a point of concern. He said the fact is that the whole program has been planned over an 84 month period, so the delay near the end has not contributed significantly to costs on the $1.35 billion clean coal deal and that it will be launched by this fall. He pointed out the concept of developing a post-combustion process to capture noxious substances has been on SaskPower’s books for more than 35 years. “We are now bringing it to you and serving as a proving ground for oil exploration and clean energy,” said Ball, referring to the fact that the carbon dioxide gas will be used as an agent to recover more oil from local fields that would otherwise be tagged for abandonment but which now will be tagged for rejuvenation and increased investment. Ball said the idea of using the gas to enhance oil recovery was not new as it had been utilized successfully in Texas as far back as the 1980s. But, it was learned early
on that capturing the gas from a Saskatchewan coal-fired plant in Estevan to use in the oilfield, wasn’t going to be a simple process. So, the original enhanced oil recovery projects in southeast Saskatchewan that were using CO2, gathered the gas from a gasification plant in northern North Dakota in the early 2000s. Following this first experimental foray that was unrealistically optimistic, Ball said SaskPower and partners sat down and worked out more concrete numbers and scenarios to come up with a more masterful and realistic plan. This came about after an unsuccessful foray was made into carbon capture at the nearby Shand Power Station when it opened in the mid 1990s. The idea did not die though, and by the early 2000s, the company was gathering firm facts regarding equipment costs to arrive at a realistic figure. He said the original estimated costs that came to their desks, were double expectations, so company advocates for clean coal had to circle back to the industries. That’s when the Boundary Dam plan came into focus with a concept to not only refurbish an aging power generating unit (No. 3) but also to attach a true post-combustion carbon capture island to it, giving the world its first commercial-sized solution to green house gas capture/storage and use. This investment in first generation technology was taken carefully, Ball said, but what will emerge will be a completely new Unit 3 at Boundary Dam, capable of capturing all noxious gases while providing about 110 megawatts of electrical power. “It will be the cleanest coal-fired power plant in the world,” said Ball. Half of the capital cost of the project is attributed to the carbon dioxide capture process while the other half is being spent on the complete overhaul of Unit 3. Later he noted, that while the federal government injected $240 million into the pilot project, the proponents of carbon
Max Ball capture projects in the future, won’t have any promise of federal participation, at least not on the financial investment front. But, he noted, the second-generation project will be exponentially less expensive for Boundary Dam’s Units 4 and 5, with probably one carbon capture island for both power units. The Aquistore project, being build in concert with the clean coal plant, will have the capability of storing CO2 several kilometres underground and a $60 million test facility at Shand Power Station that will allow industry leaders to test postcombustion carbon capture methods in a commercial-sized setting, makes the local project a real value-added deal. It’s still a good deal, even though a few potential global investors have backed off recently due to the downturn in their economies that began as early as 2008. “The economic climate has changed since 2008, but it’s good here,” Ball said. He added that once Unit 3 is proven a success, those who can bring qualified technologies to the table will be invited to join in for future endeavours and a second generation of clean coal plants. Viable op-
tions are already opening up and they have eager partners, he said, such as Hitachi who joined in to help develop build and pay for the test facility at Shand. Ball noted that a Regina-based team is putting the chemistry laboratory pieces together that will include management of amine products and byproducts and how to manage them. The good and bad outcomes will be registered and other test centres will form a network as this second generation of clean coal plants come into reality by the early 2020s. “At Boundary Dam for instance, by that time, it will be carbon capture on Units 4 and 5, or else their retirement. We feel optimistic we can make it work for BD 4 and 5,” said Ball. By the end of 2016 he said he expected SaskPower will have come up with a scheme and some initial investment details that will allow them to launch a realistic plan by 2017. Through it all, “the Estevan area is the proving grounds, and I see CO2 for enhanced oil recovery in the local patch and research operations in Regina providing support while this whole region gets global focus.” The whole project will have to roll out in a cost competitive environment to provide low-cost electrical power for consumers. Following Ball’s address, Melinda Yurkowski, assistant chief geologist with the Saskatchewan Ministry of the Economy, spoke to the delegates in attendance, about the reality of what is underground in southeast Saskatchewan, particularly how it related to underground formations and capabilities in southwest Saskatchewan, northern Saskatchewan and into North Dakota and Montana in the United States. Yurkowski made references to the early Winnipegosis formation, the Williston Basin and the education that is going on now that is related to the Bakken and Torquay formations, which have grabbed the headlines more recently.

Did Energy Expo get the job done? We know that Estevan’s business community and Chamber of Commerce executive and administration will be conducting their own debriefing and dissecting of last week’s Energy Expo so there is no major need for a lot of sideline critiques. What we can offer, however, are some observational points, which we are certain, will also be points of consideration for those who were engaged in the planning, marketing and deployment of the Expo events. The first observation was, of course, attendance. It was low and perhaps that was understandable for good reason. Those who were in on the planning and marketing strategy sessions will know who they were targeting for their audience and participants. Whomever it was, some of them failed to show up. Was the target audience the general public? Was the target audience the blue, gray and white collars of Saskatchewan industries? Were they looking for international visitors? This was not a typical business showcase, so identifying the target delegates could

Cabinet leans to the west
If you live on the east side of Saskatchewan, you might just feel a little underrepresented. In the wake of Premier Brad Wall’s recent shuffle, the new cabinet table is decidedly tilted to the west. Of the 13 seats west of Saskatoon, eight have cabinet ministers: Lloydminster, Tim McMillan as Minister of Rural and Remote Health. Meadow Lake, Jeremy Harrison as Associate Minister of the Economy. Rosthern-Shellbrook, Scott Moe as Environment and SaskWater Minister. Martensville, Nancy Heppner as Highways Minister. Kindersley, Bill Boyd Minister of the Economy and Energy. Rosetown-Elrose, Jim Reiter as Minister of Government Relations and First Nations and Metis Relations. Swift Current, Brad Wall, Premier. Thunder Creek, Lyle Stewart, Agriculture. Only five west-side ridings do not have ministerial representation right now: Cut Knife-Turtleford; The Battlefords; Bigger (which had Randy Weekes as Rural and Re-
be, at the best of times, difficult to ascertain. Who out there was interested in learning more about coal and clean-coal electrical generation? We know there are plenty of people all around the world who are keenly interested, but they weren’t in Estevan last week, or at least we didn’t spot them or get to speak with them. Coal mining and its advances in recent years, especially under new international ownership, should have sparked some interest. Wind, solar, biomass and other environmental power advocates were in short supply. The avant garde geothermal project taking shape in our backyard is grabbing attention from the investment community, but were the money changers and chasers in Estevan? Some of the above were here, for certain, and that’s why we are issuing our observation in a positive vein since we think it would be a mistake to dub the Energy Expo a failure. It wasn’t. It was short in numbers, perhaps not in interest. The next one will be built on knowledge
gained from this first foray into touting the entire energy picture. This was not intended to be just another oilpatch show and shine event. This, we understand, was designed to bring the captains of various industries together to display some synergy and do a lot of networking, and for the most part, this is done in quiet corners with casual visitations and demonstrations. We expect, on that level, the Energy Expo in Estevan performed quite well. You don’t need thousands of visitors milling around with balloons and plastic bags filled with toys to make your event a success. If the event brought two, three or four concrete introductions and potential partners together, then it was a success. If the educational factors were advanced, then it was a success. If the information that was emitted from the keynote presentations and work sessions proved to be essential and therefore valuable for visiting delegates, then Energy Expo has been a success. Now having said our piece, we will let the planners, financial statements and ground floor evaluators mark the actual report card for this inaugural event.
mote Health Minister until last week); Cypress Hills (represented by former minister Wayne Elhard who is still a legislative secretary to the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs responsible for International and Diplomatic Engagement), and Wood River, (represented by former minister Yogi Huyghebaert). Of the remaining 16 rural seats only four have ministers: Humboldt, where Donna Harpauer is now Social Services Minister; Canora-Pelly, where Ken Krawetz remains in Finance; Weyburn-Big Muddy, where Dustin Duncan remains in Health; and Indian Head-Milestone, where Don McMorris has become the new Crown Investment Corp. and Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority Minister overseeing both the government’s Lean and privatization initiatives. For starters, rural Saskatchewan’s 39 seats account for two-thirds of Wall’s 18-member cabinet. From 1999 to 2007 under the NDP, there were only one to three rural members in cabinet. Many argue that many of the issues impacting rural Saskatchewan like highways and agriculture are pretty much transferable from one part of the province to the other. With the possible exception of moving the clocks an hour ahead each spring to benefit from Daylight Savings Time, there aren’t that many issues that divide Saskatchewan between east and west. The four rural ministers in the east or central part of the province all have pretty big portfolios. Also, cabinet has pretty much been tilted to the West/Alberta side since the Wall government came in, anyway. Although it should be noted that the gradual loss from cabinet of Rod Gantefoer (Melfort), Dan
D’Autremont (Cannington, who now is Speaker) Bob Bjornerud (Melville-Saltcoats) and now June Draude (Kelvington-Wadena) has made this imbalance that much greater. If we are to believe what we hear from the Wall government, decisions on economic growth or spending are based more on need. It’s also hard to argue that east Saskatchewan ridings of Yorkton, Estevan or Moosomin have suffered, economically, because of a lack of cabinet representations. Finally, with 12 of the 18 ministers coming from rural Saskatchewan, one might argue that they are doing substantially better than the cities anyway. Saskatoon, with close to a quarter of the province’s population, only has three ministers (Don Morgan, Gord Wyant and new addition Jennifer Campeau) after the last shuffle saw both Rob Norris and Ken Cheveldayoff dropped. That is the same as Regina, which only has three ministers with the addition of Mark Docherty to Kevin Doherty and Christine Tell. Meanwhile, both Moose Jatw and Prince Albert remain without cabinet representation. But it’s also here where Wall may be starting to get into some trouble. For example, the burning issue of a second bridge over the North Saskatchewan River in Prince Albert came up again last week with the announcement of not one but two bridge projects in Saskatoon aided by both provincial and federal dollars. When voters of a particular region become frustrated by such inaction, it’s hard not to notice that there isn’t a cabinet minister anywhere in sight.

Following an accident that took place at a construction site in Estevan on August 18, 2011, Dwayne Lazar and Kirk Parazader, were each handed $3,500 fines, plus a $1,400 victim surcharge for failing to follow occupational health and safety regulations on the job site, while the Glen Peterson Construction company, represented by Ken Peterson, received a $1,000 fine plus a $400 victim surcharge for failing to notify the Health and Safety Commission. These people appeared in Estevan provincial court on Monday morning. On August 18, 2011, the Glen Peterson Construction Company was hired to install service lines to a restaurant in Estevan, which required excavation with a backhoe. The Crown explained to presiding judge Karl Bazin that the depth of the resulting trench was two metres deep, and therefore required a safety cage, which was to be utilized on site so workers could work in the trench safely. The Crown also said when a trench is more than 1.2 metres, depending on the thickness of the soil, it needs to be cut back to prevent cave-ins. Lazar, who was the supervisor on site, allowed Parazader who deemed the trench safe enough to work in without a safety cage or alteration to the trench itself — and two other workers, to enter the trench and work on the service lines. The trench then caved in, and broke Parazader’s femur, injured his shoulder and knee, and as a result he required surgery. The Crown stressed that incidents such as
falling from a height and trench caveins were the leading cause of death on job sites in Saskatchewan. Ken Peterson said he believed the paperwork regarding the incident was being sorted out by “one of the girls,” in the office, but took responsibility for the fact that the proper paperwork didn’t happen. Lazar acknowledged the fact that safety protocols weren’t followed to their fullest, but argued only Parazader entered the trench, while the others were standing on the ledge of the trench. He then continued and said he’s been in the business for a long time, and that this was the first incident he’s ever had. T h e $3,500 fines, plus the

suggested because this was Richard’s subsequent offence, he be given the minimum sentence of 120 days in prison, a twoyear driving prohibition, and a one-year probation period. Due to a technicality however, his charge was reduced to 30 days in jail, but his two-year driving prohibition and one-year probation period remained intact.
Gonzalez gets nod as Green Party candidate in local constituency The name and face of the local Green Party candidate is familiar to Estevan and area voters. Sigfredo Gonzalez has been acclaimed by the Green Party to run as the SaskGreen candidate in the 2016 provincial election. “Sigfredo is the only candidate who has been on the ballot for the party in every provincial election going back to 1999, other than party Leader Victor Lau,” said the Green Party in a release issued on June 17. Lau said he was very happy to have Gonzalez on the ballot again in Estevan. “Sigfredo is well known in Estevan and is extremely familiar with the issues in the southeast part of the province. He is a solid member of our team” With Gonzalez nominated in Estevan, the Sask Greens now have 18 candidates nominated out of 61 for the next provincial election. The Green Party is the first one to establish a candidate in the Estevan Constituency for the next provincial election.

$1,400 surcharges for Lazar and Parazader, along with the $1000 fine, plus the $400 surcharge for the company, was then suggested by the Crown, which Bazin accepted. In other proceedings, Justin Roy Richard pleaded guilty to driving impaired, driving with an unregistered vehicle, and driving while disqualified on April 29 in Estevan. While police were attending to an unrelated ticketed vehicle, the officer handling the process noticed a red Jimmy parked unusually nearby, and upon approaching the vehicle shortly after, the officer noted Richard had glossy eyes and had difficulty walking.

So Saskatchewan, are we tired of being wood hewers? I’d guess we are, but so far nobody has done much about it. We’re content to ship our resources out for the benefit of others. It’s not like we’re suffering. We’re being compensated for our stuff. Some politicians would like to see us gain more tax and royalty dollars in the process, but we don’t want to scare anybody away. The way things are changing in Canada, is having an impact on our province. It seems that by current standards, if you’re making $500,000 or less, you’re not even upper crust any more. In fact, you’re not even going to be rich, you’re middle class. Under $60,000? We’ll, you’re part of the working poor. That’s the way it goes in this new world order. It’s only those corporate presidents and CEOs who are guaranteed millions in salaries, who can be considered rich. The one per cent get a few million in salary, then a few more in the form of bonuses, even if they haven’t performed well. Then there are the stock options, and if they’re not that good at the job, they still have a golden parachute to float them into retirement or another job. These are people with the can’t-lose contracts. These one per cent pay less than you do in taxes on a comparative scale. That’s all well and good. What bothers me is that so few of these super rich live in Saskatchewan, even though a lot of the money they’re claiming comes from here. They collect here, but won’t live here, won’t park their limos on our lots and certainly won’t park their head offices here either, unless they are legislated to do so by a miffed government. Even then, they’ll go the token pretend route to set up in Sask., but really won’t channel the big stuff. Their yachts, $200,000 cars, private jets, swank condos will be built and bought elsewhere with only a few exceptions. Remember the good old days when Saskatchewan producers had the Wheat Pool to count on. It was born and bred for Prairie farmers. It turned into Viterra and Viterra’s big boss slowly eased himself out of Regina, over to Calgary with half of the jobs and then eased out of the picture with one of those golden chutes. Shall we watch the remainder slip slide away? WIT? Need I say more? Private, public partnerships (P3) are being advertised as a new way to do business in Saskatchewan. How many of those companies with the $100 million or more per project contracts will be headquartered in Saskatchewan? They might build their labour pool here. That might be the best we can expect. Remember when we kinda owned our potash, coal and oil companies? Now we have field offices and token visits by the big pushers when the weather turns warm. Do you recall SaskOil, which begat Wascana, Nexen and then Alberta? How about IPSCO? That used to be Saskatchewan owned. It’s now a Scandanavian company. It’s operated here, but the big bucks go away. We settle for selling naming rights. There’s more, of course, but you get the point. We create jobs, but profits drift away. Maybe that’s why we stubbornly insist on retaining our Crown corporations. We don’t want to have a complete provincial sell-off, or do we? Maybe we should have a look at what the future might be if we did.

Auction of Do All goods and property next week Estevan’s Do All Industries was placed into receivership in February, owing more than $30 million to the National Bank of Canada and $8.1 million to various other creditors, and the fire sale of its equipment, raw materials and properties will be held next week. The court-appointed receivership put Alvarez and Marsal Canada Inc. in charge of Do All’s assets, and they put Maynards in charge of the auction. Maynards has said the auction involves more than $25 million in estimated
goods and property. That includes more than $4 million worth of steel, raw material and finished goods inventory as well as six industrial properties spread over 31 acres. The seventh property available at the auction includes a 5,000 square foot hangar at the Estevan Municipal Airport. The auction will be held June 25 and 26 at Do All’s property off Highway 39 east of Estevan on McClement Road. The order to appoint a receiver was made by the Alberta Court of Queen’s

Bodacious Baskets win teamwork award at Junior Achievement Banquet By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca
Despite their successful night at the Junior Achievement Business Hall of Fame Awards banquet in Regina on June 4, the Bodacious Baskets group ferociously bundled gift baskets together in order to meet their sales goal heading into Father’s Day. It’s this dedicated mentality towards building a successful business that earned a group of young entrepreneurs the Teamwork Award and nominations in nearly every other category at the awards banquet, explained Josh LeBlanc, business teacher at Estevan Comprehensive. Over the course of the semester, the Bodacious Baskets were able to meet all their sales goals through Easter, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. “In my four years teaching this class, this group was one of the best groups that worked together,” said LeBlanc, who oversaw the work done by the students. “There was never any sign of individual competition. They understood things needed to be accomplished together.” The entrepreneur class has been offered at ECS for many years now, but Junior Achievement has only been a part of the school’s system for 10 years, ever since the alliance between the school and the not-for-profit organization was established. As a unit, the entrepreneur students had to come up with an idea that could be successfully marketed, which in this case turned out to be specialized gift baskets designed for various holidays and events. Once the idea came to fruition, much of their time was spent on research, building the baskets, interacting with the local community through social media and,

Bodacious Baskets made approximately $20,000 in gross sales, and with each student putting $20 into the company as a shareholder, those investments projected a return of around $570. Both these numbers are higher than last year’s, when the Truffle Shuffle and First Class Baking entrepreneur companies were in operation. Katherine Gagne, vice president of program development in the southern part of Saskatchewan, said she’s been very impressed with the progression the student-driven businesses have made through Junior Achievement. “Years ago some of these businesses may have made around $500 a semester. Now students in Estevan are making over $20,000 in a semester with some of their businesses. They’ve become very successful,” she said. Bodacious Baskets didn’t accumulate individual awards in large numbers like the ECS entrants did last year, but their success is undeniable, said LeBlanc. “This year we had a lot more competition,” he said, adding individual awards are based on sev-

When the man stumbled into traffic and narrowly missed being struck by a passing vehicle, police stepped in and made the arrest so they could lodge him in jail overnight for his own safety. Police then returned to the area of the cabaret only to discover another extremely intoxicated man who was passed out in the parking lot. Due to the severity of his inebriation, emergency medical service personnel were called to the scene to transport the man to hospital for treatment and observation. Another call came to police that same night from a resident in the same

When police located the vehicle they discovered a small odour of alcohol and an open container of alcohol within. The driver refused to provide a breath sample for a roadside test so he was charged accordingly. He was also charged for driving while suspended and the vehicle he was driving was seized for 30 days. When police stopped another vehicle that same night, they learned the driver was unable to produce a valid driver’s license. He gave police his name and date of birth but they did not match any information police had submitted on the SGI and national search sites so the man was charged with obstructing a police officer and driving while suspended and his vehicle was also seized for 30 days. While on foot patrol at the local fair and exhibition on Monday night police came across several children who had been separated from their parents. Police helped them relocate their mothers and/ or fathers. During that same patrol session, police asked one person to leave the fair grounds and he did so without incident.

of friends, who arrived shortly after the police who discerned that alcohol was a contributing factor in the incident. A man causing a disturbance at a local cabaret on June 14, left the dance prior to police arrival and they were unable to locate him in the immediate area. A report of a possible impaired driver on the east side of the city prompted police action later that same night. The vehicle and operator were located, and it was determined he was not impaired. The next stop for police that night was in the central part of the city where they spotted a 33-year-old man in an extremely intoxicated
neighbourhood as the cabaret. It was learned than an inebriated 21-year-old man had entered the residential backyard and was refusing to leave after the homeowner noticed him on the private property. The man was arrested and lodged in cells until sober. A local taxi company also contacted police with a request for assistance with some difficult passengers. When police arrived at the scene, they learned that the troublesome cab riders had left the taxi and police were unable to locate them in the immediate area. Prior to these June 14 incidents, EPS members handled a motor vehicle incident involving a vehicle and pedestrian that did not result in major injuries, a couple of stolen street signs that had been lifted in Lampman and made their way to Estevan, an assault, a mischief complaint involving broken head lights and tail lights on a vehicle and an impaired driving charge accompanied by a charge of driving an unregistered vehicle with a stolen license plate. The man involved was also wanted on outstanding warrants. These events were all registered on June 13. On June 16, EPS members responded to a RID call (report impaired

response on June 12. The owners of the residence were warned about the city’s noise bylaw and the party was shut down, which meant no further policing action was necessary. On the night of June 14, EPS members were called to a city restaurant after it was learned one patron had been threatened by another patron who was unknown to him. The suspect left the scene prior to police arrival and they were unable to locate him in the immediate area. Another call on June 14, led police to the exhibition grounds where they learned two youths were on the scene with a pellet gun. Police learned the two were in possession of a non-functioning toy BB gun. A person operating an ATV in the Hillside area of the city apparently struck another vehicle and then fled the scene. The ATV appeared to have been rolled and then abandoned so the incident remains under investigation. A noise complaint coming from the Pleasantdale area of the city prompted a police visit to a residence. They talked with a person in the home who had been responsible for the shouting and other noisy events. He was eventually left in care

When Estevan Police Service members were alerted to a disturbance at a local business on the night of June 11, they attended the scene and found two men in a vehicle just outside the business in question. A check with the occupants of the vehicle led police to the conclusion that these two men were responsible for the disturbance. The driver was then asked to submit to a roadside screen test to check on his possible state of inebriation, and when he failed the test, the 22-yearold Stoughton man was charged with driving while impaired and driving while his blood-alcohol level was over .08 per cent. He was also charged with being in breach of his probation order. He now has a July court date. On the night of June 12, EPS members checked a suspicious vehicle on the city’s east side and as a result of their check, an Estevan man was arrested on an outstanding warrant. He was lodged in cells pending his court appearance the next day.

Sun Country electronic records system expanding The system of electronically storing and emitting medical records in the Sun Country Health Region is expanding. Several primary health care sites across the region are now experiencing the benefits of Med Access electronic recording technology as the electronic medical record (EMR) secure storage system rolls out across the southeast sector. The system securely stores and retrieves medical information that enables health care providers to receive quicker and safer access to patients’ personal health information. In 2010 the region’s first primary health care sites in the rural west area (Bengough, Radville and
Pangman) implemented EMR using Med Access. The Coronach Primary Health site became the second site to enter the system in November of 2012. Most recently the communities of Weyburn, Carlyle and Carnduff began to experience the EMR benefits and sites in Lampman, Midale and Kipling will follow soon, said a recent Sun Country media release. “An electronic medical record saves time for both patient and clinician because all patient information is available electronically in a secure environment. This enables all patient information to be shared on one electronic chart by the various providers who are involved
in the patient’s care,” said Wanda Miller, Sun Country’s director of primary health care. “This has been a longawaited implementation for many of our sites — some of which have been established since 2007. This could not have happened without great efforts from our primary health care staff, doctors, nurse practitioners, SCHR Information Systems and a supportive team from eHealth Saskatchewan. They all worked very hard to implement the EMR,” added Miller. In preparation for implementation at each site, the staff members went through surveys followed by implementation meet-
ings and training sessions. The personal health information remains confidential and health care providers take care in protecting it and the files are disclosed only as authorized by the patient or as required by law. The transactions are secured through the privacy requirements outlined in the Health Information Protection Act. The EMR stores only the minimum amount of personal health information required to plan, manage and provide services. Personal health information is shared with health care providers only if they are involved in a patient/ client/resident’s care and are authorized to view the information.

Reservoir home to koi fish for years A pair of anglers found something fishy about their catches in the Boundary Dam Reservoir. What Landon Polk and Chelsea Greening found while bow fishing around the reservoir in May was that the koi fish, while not native to Saskatchewan, are among the wildlife currently residing in the local reservoir south of Estevan. Calls to the Ministry of Environment confirmed there are koi in the area, and they have been there for some time. Thus far there haven’t been any particularly negative results from their introduction into the ecosystem, the Ministry said. But they still discourage anyone from adding a new species to the environment. “Although it is not known for sure how koi got into Boundary Dam, speculation is that somebody released them into the reservoir,” said a press release the Ministry of Environment
issued to media following requests for information. The Ministry noted the distribution of koi in the reservoir is unknown, and a fisheries survey done by the Ministry in July 2013 did not result in the capture of koi in any nets. Asked whether the koi may pose any threat to the environmental integrity of the reservoir, the Ministry equated the koi to that of carp, which were already present. “Koi are an ornamental variety of common carp that have been bred for their vivid colouration for the aquarium trade,” said the Ministry. “Currently, the common carp is not considered an invasive species in Saskatchewan. Carp initially moved into the province via the Red River in Manitoba and were first noted in Saskatchewan in the Assiniboine River by Kamsack in 1953. By 1954, they were distributed within the Qu’Appelle River.” The Ministry did, how-
The Ministry expressed no concern that the koi may upset the balance of other fish populations in the reservoir. “Carp are widespread throughout the Qu’Appelle River system. Walleye populations in the Qu’Appelle Lakes have remained abundant, suggesting the species can co-exist,” said the Ministry handout. There is no feasible method of removing the koi from the Boundary Dam Reservoir, though some bow fishers have been able to capture the koi in the reservoir. Those bow fishers were Polk and Greening, who sent photos of their koi catches to the Mercury last week, prompting inquiries to the Ministry of Environment to verify the presence of koi in the reservoir. “Koi were initially observed in the Boundary Dam Reservoir in the spring of 2010. Further sightings were reported to Ministry of Environment staff in May
Landon Polk displays one of the koi fish he caught while bow fishing in the Boundary Dam Reservoir. (Submitted photo) ever, say the presence of koi could result in decreased fishing success on the reservoir, “as carp tend to stir up the bottom sediments
and increase water turbidity. They also uproot submerged vegetation that other fish and aquatic species may depend upon.”
2014. They have been able to overwinter in the reservoir for at least several years now,” the Ministry said. Polk and Greening sent photos of what they originally thought was a large carp to the Ministry in May. They got word back that they, in fact, caught a koi fish. Polk told the Mercury their catches have included fish that weighed between 20 and 30 pounds. The koi may swim from Boundary Reservoir up the diversion channel and enter Rafferty Reservoir, noted the Ministry. They generally swarm around the hot-water return in the reservoir, which is the product of discharge from the Boundary Dam Power Station. The Ministry also wanted to discourage anyone introducing a non-native species into any Saskatchewan environment. “Aquarium pets, plants or water should never be released into our lakes, rivers or wetlands.”

“In our situation, drilling into a well known hot aquifer, the only way to miss would be to drill up,” – Kirsten Marcia

Geothermal project now seeking investors By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca
The broadening of Estevan’s energy portfolio is entering its next phase as the city could one day be a model for geothermal development. Moving power production in the Energy City away from fossil fuels, the Deep Earth Energy Production (DEEP) Corporation is entering its proof of concept phase for its proposed geothermal production facilities south of Estevan. The $2 million feasibility study, funded entirely by the federal government and SaskPower, is complete and the DEEP team is now looking for investors to help see the project to fruition. The Government of Canada is betting on geothermal, backing the initiative by supporting 50 per cent of the cost up to $20 million. Estevan native (Kirsten Marcia) is a geoscientist and the CEO behind DEEP, and presented the DEEP case to local industry professionals in a keynote speech at the inaugural Estevan Energy Expo at Affinity Place last week. “Geothermal is a really unique resource,” said Marcia, noting it produces zero emissions. While that is what it shares with other renewable resources, what sets it apart is its ability to provide base-load power. “Geothermal is more base load than hydro. Once you develop it, each project can
go for 20 or 40 years.” Marcia expects DEEP’s first project near Estevan to begin producing power by early 2017. After Project 1 is complete, she said they will be able to implement subsequent projects much quicker. The total project will cost about $40 million, and the next phase will run a tab of $8 million. After government, DEEP is looking for public investment for the remaining $3.5 million of the project. Marcia said they just started looking to raise the money last week. “It’s not an insignificant number, but I’m really hoping the shareholder support continues from southeast Saskatchewan,” said Marcia, noting they also have investors from Saskatoon and Calgary. “But we really want to foster that support here because I believe if we can mine that experience through our shareholder base or through an advisory committee, that’s a real win. My goal is to not only find that investment, but find (investors) who can also participate in this project.” The potential to harness the energy from the Earth’s core is rampant in southeast Saskatchewan, and Marcia said the hot aquifer they plan to tap is well-mapped thanks to decades of development by oil, coal and gas discovery. “Think of all the layers we have in the Williston Basin: our potash resources, our coal resources, oil and
Estevan native Kirsten Marcia, geoscientist and CEO of DEEP Earth Energy Production, presented an update during the Estevan Energy Expo on her company’s planned geothermal project near Estevan. The project is slated for completion in 2017, and the company is looking to raise $3.5 million from corporate investors to complement the funding granted by Natural Resources Canada. gas resources, and at the very, very bottom of that pancake of geological formations is a hot aquifer, an aquifer that is very well known,” said Marcia. While some geothermal projects drill into volcanic fractures for heat energy, which requires some trial and

When it comes to price next to clean coal, the project at Boundary Dam can’t currently compete. She noted DEEP’s $40 million project is expected to generate five megawatts of power. At $8 million per megawatt, it comes to only two-thirds the cost of the carbon-capture project, which registers at $12 million per megawatt. “It will have an impact, this project. In no way do we have a vision of replacing coal or replacing hydro, but geothermal will have a seat at the table among the other renewables,” said Marcia. Right now, Saskatchewan gets only five per cent of its power from renewable sources. Marcia sees opportunity to produce up to 200 megawatts of energy with geothermal, which would be enough to power 10 per cent of the province’s needs. “I think 200 megawatts is a conservative number. Our Canadian Geothermal Energy Association suggested this could be as high as 1,000 megawatts,” she said.

error, drilling down to the hot aquifer involves much less geological and developmental risk. “In our situation, drilling into a well known hot aquifer, the only way to miss would be to drill up,” she said. She said they are plan-
ning on drilling their first well in November, which will take about 45 days. The injection well is much smaller. Marcia said that when they drill, they are looking for water. But water is the medium, she said. Heat is the resource. “The amount of water will dictate the size of each project. The more water you can flow, the more heat you can extract and the power you will be able to generate. It’s no different than an oil and gas resource,” she said. Marcia sees geothermal energy as the cleanest, least controversial and arguably cost-effective means of producing environmentally sustainable energy for the future. With plans to tap into the energy throughout the Williston Basin, geothermal could allow Estevan to maintain its title of Energy City for a long time to come. “It has a unique ability to foster public support,” added Marcia. Again, geothermal sets itself apart from other renewables because the general public doesn’t see the modest geothermal structures in their communities. She noted in Munich, there is a geothermal development in

Seven students get help of bursaries By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca
Seven young members of the community accepted $400 bursaries at the Royal Canadian Legion in Estevan that will provide them with a head start as they embark on their post-secondary experience. For about 40 years, the Legion has been handing out these bursaries to young students who’ve not only excelled in the classroom, but also positively impacted their community. For the first time however, only
seven applications qualified. Out of the 22 applications they received, 15 were incomplete, resulting in the remaining seven to automatically become the recipients of the bursaries. “It’s a shame really,” said Eileen Rosner, immediate past-president of the local Legion, adding it was a little disheartening not being able to hand out the usual number of bursaries, which has always been eight. Nevertheless Rosner said she was very happy to see the seven students, who

obtain this award. “It’s a joy being able to
help these students continue on with their education. We’re all about the youth,” she said. Seventeen-year-old Jacqueline Peeace, who attended Estevan Comprehensive School, was heavily involved with events like Relay for Life and various music-related festivities over the years, and said she was happy to see her efforts in the community recognized. “It was very honouring,” Peeace said. Her father David was

just one of the several proud parents in attendance watching their child accept their award. “It tends to be a little surreal in the fact that your child who you’ve seen grow for 18 years is now becoming a member of the community in their own rights, and is also becoming a good community citizen,” he said. “It’s reinforced when others take notice.” These awards have been funded through Monday and Wednesday night bingo for over 20 years.

Aquistore ready to prove itself to public By Jordan Baker editor@estevanmercury.ca
The Aquistore Project doesn’t get the attention its much more expensive sibling, the carbon capture project at Boundary Dam Power Station, receives, but it’s an observation project that will reveal exactly what happens when we inject carbon dioxide into the ground rather than releasing the toxic gas into the air. Aleana Young, communications and project officer for the Petroleum Technology and Research Centre, presented an update and look back at the $30 million project during an address to local energy professionals during the Estevan Energy Expo last week. The Aquistore Project will take captured carbon from Boundary Dam Power Station Unit 3 later this year, when the BD3 unit goes online, and inject the liquefied carbon into a porous layer of sandstone more than three kilometres below the Earth’s surface. The layers of hard shale above the sandstone will
Aleana Young act as a lid, and monitoring devices will watch and track the plume of carbon as it moves through the layer of sandstone. The project is currently set to run until 2017. Young noted last week that everything is ready to go, and they are only waiting on the completion of the commissioning work at BD3 to begin putting Aquistore into action. “Currently, Aquistore is ready. We’re waiting for the mechanical and electrical tie-in to the pipeline for Boundary Dam. As soon as there is CO2, we are ready to receive it and provide that buffer storage for SaskPower,” said Young. The carbon dioxide
Perry Holmgren
that will go to Aquistore will be unwanted carbon that Cenovus doesn’t need. Cenovus bought the rights to all of the captured carbon, and they will use it as part of their enhanced oil recovery near Midale and Weyburn. Young said there will be future open houses likely sometime in August, where the PTRC will continue its public consultation for Aquistore and people may get a first glimpse of it as operations begin. “It’s dependent on when there is CO2 in the pipeline. There’s really no point in having an open house and saying, ‘Hey, we have CO2,’ if we don’t really have it. We made a commitment to the community after our first open house, and it’s a pivotal element of our outreach,” said Young. She said that will be an opportunity to provide baseline results to the public, based on their soil, gas, groundwater and seismic monitors. “That will really set the stage to show this is what we’re starting with, and then we can really demonstrate that carbon capture
and storage is a safe solution to reducing greenhouse gases.” Young noted that in Saskatchewan, there are nearly endless oil resources, so if the province is going to be capturing carbon from coal-fired power plants in the future, there is a market for that captured carbon, as proven by Cenovus purchasing the carbon from BD3’s project. Elsewhere in the world, however, countries may burn coal and be interested in the clean-coal technology but may not have oil companies to sell carbon to. “CO2, when it’s used for enhanced oil recovery, is a really valuable commodity,” said Young. “A lot of other jurisdictions internationally, whether it’s South Africa, Korea, Japan, these other jurisdictions that are exploring carbon-capture technology, may not have the oil and gas resources that we’re lucky enough to have. They don’t have the option of enhanced oil recovery, so permanent storage or sequestration is the only option that most places internationally will have.”
With more and more regulations coming in from various governments capping emissions, the PTRC is expecting Aquistore to provide a valid storage option for those other countries.
“Companies are going to be looking for an alternative to help reduce emissions, and the sequestration of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases is one we’re hoping to prove.”

Estevan joins Safe Saskatchewan effort and Mission:Zero movement Saskatchewan’s safety culture took a giant step forward today when over 40 businesses, organizations and government entities, including the City of Estevan, were enrolled in the Saskatchewan Health and Safety Leadership Charter, and joined in the Mission:Zero movement to end our provincial unintentional injury epidemic “We are just blown away by the response we had this year. It’s a true example of momentum. It can take awhile to get a boulder rolling down the hill but, once it starts, there’s no stopping it,” said Gord Moker, CEO of Safe Saskatchewan. Safe Saskatchewan is a registered not-for-profit organization whose vision
is an injury-free Saskatchewan. In 2010, Safe Saskatchewan and WorkSafe Saskatchewan launched the Health and Safety Leadership Charter, aimed at creating a cultural shift among community leaders, and positioning injury prevention as a core value. Signatories participate in a health and safety leadership learning community that shares information and best practices. Following a massive recruiting effort in 20132014, the following organizations agreed to join the Health and Safety Leadership Charter movement: - The Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association and its city members - The Saskatchewan Association of Rural Mu-

Local artist’s new album nominated at Western Canadian Music Awards By Alex Coop acoop@estevanmercury.ca
A local musician is making some noise with his most recent nomination from the Western Canadian Music Awards. “It’s exciting to be nominated,” admitted Sandon Weber, whose recent album called Interstate 5 was nominated for best Spiritual Recording of the Year on June 5. Weber, who was also nominated for Outstanding Christian Recording in 2009 and 2010, said the $10,000 grant he received from 980 AM Rawlco Radio in Regina a year-and-a-half ago was a huge help in creating the ten-track album. Weber was one of 20 artists in Saskatchewan who received the grant, as part of a contest the radio station established to help upand-coming artists produce a new album. “I wouldn’t have been
able to do it without them,” he said. When asked if the upbeat, electronic rock soundtrack had an overall theme, Weber said he wasn’t too sure if it did. “This is a little different from my other albums,” he said, referring to the pop rock vibe his other albums contained. He also said it took him a year-and-a-half to put this album together. “All my music is positive, and I’m inspired by everyday inspirations like my wife, my family, and friends.” A road trip down the west coast with an old friend of Weber’s from Washington was the attributing cause for one of his songs being titled Interstate 5, which he thought was an appropriate title for the entire album. “It’s more of a fun song you can crank your windows down to while you’re cruising. There’s not a whole lot
said the Estevan artist was highly talented coming right out of college. “He was able to find his sound right away,” he said, while underlining the fact that Weber’s dedication was extremely high. “You rarely get the chance to work with an artist who wants to work
Estevan artist Sandon Weber’s latest album Intersate 5 earned him a nomination for Best Spiritual Recording. of depth to it,” he said with a laugh. Weber said he thoroughly enjoys the initial writing process during the creation of his music. “Creating without
boundaries is very cool,” he said. Jared Robinson from Nebulus Entertainment, who produced Weber’s first CD and collaborated with him on all his subsequent projects,

as hard as I do, he’s that type of artist though.” Robinson has collaborated with hundreds of artists over the years, yet Weber’s music has always stood out to him. “It has different textures, and a seamless integration of rock and electric styles.”

Council Briefs
News and notes from the June 9 regular meeting of Estevan city council
City supporting Highway 47 revitalization to Grenfell of the annual Remembrance Project. Coun. Trevor Knibbs was the lone councillor who voted against booking an ad in this year’s publication, saying it was unclear exactly where the money went and how it would be used and distributed within the Legion. He said his concern was about how much of the roughly $400 would help the Estevan Legion Branch No. 60 and preferred the City directly support the local Legion outlet. Knibbs also questioned the value of the ad placement for the City, noting he has never seen the publication anywhere. The request from the Legion noted the book is distributed to “all school and university libraries in Saskatchewan, Legion branches and many other public facilities.” All other council members voted in favour of the ad, but the City is going to look into how their donation will be spent and may review the request again next year. *** City safety co-ordinator Helen Fornwald submitted the EMO report for May, noting the train derailment
on May 8, which involved four tanker cars full of crude oil. There was no leak, and she noted the City will be holding a debrief with CP later this month. The City held a tabletop exercise on May 15, which involved a student pilot losing control of an aircraft while landing at the Estevan Municipal Airport. Estevan Fire Rscue Services, Estevan Police Services and emergency medical personnel took part in the exercise along with Fornwald and City Manager Amber Smale. The report also noted the City has begun uploading contact information into the Everbridge System, a new emergency response system the City is implementing. Fornwald said they are not ready to unveil details of the system to the public, but the final implementation conference call was held in June. *** Estevan Diversified Services (EDS) sent a proposal to the City, as they seek to build a new social, low-rental housing project on 15th Avenue. EDS owns the property, which currently houses a residence
built around 1930. They are proposing to demolish it and redevelop the site with a semi-detached residential dwelling. The biggest issue is that the proposal wouldn’t conform to the minimum front and rear setback requirements of the City’s zoning bylaw. The set requirements are 7.6 metres in the front and six metres in the rear, while the proposal would need to put the structure only six metres from the front and 1.2 metres from the rear of the property. The report on the zoning changes noted EDS has growing needs for residential accommodation for its participants and there are few affordable options in the City. Coun. Moore said approving the bylaw would be a win-win for the City, as it would encourage new develop over an aging structure and would support the local non-profit organization, aiding in their housing needs. Council voted in favour of pursuing the request, allowing the rezoning process to begin. A first reading of the bylaw will happen at a later meeting.

Estevan City council was asked to support the renovation of Highway 47 north from Stoughton to Grenfell. Councillor Dennis Moore is council’s representative on the Southeast Transportation Planning Committee and noted the committee has targeted that stretch of highway as an important one for refurbishment. Moore said the highway is economically significant to Estevan and the City and local businesses have lost commerce and trade because of the state of the road. The road provides a link from Estevan to TransCanada Highway 1. The committee requested City council sign a letter of support for the repairs to Highway 47, which council voted in favour of during the June 9 regular meeting of council. *** There was some disagreement among council following a donation request by the Royal Canadian Legion. The City of Estevan has been a sponsor in the past by booking an advertisement in the Legion’s Military Service Recognition Book as part

racing relationship between him and his dad Mike.
Hagen gets first Estevan mod win With regular classes, trucks and rescheduled features from a weathershortened May 31 program, it was a busy night at Estevan Motor Speedway on Saturday. The weekend was supposed to feature a doubleheader, with races also on Friday night, but they were postponed due to rain and had yet to be rescheduled as of Monday. The modified and stock car features from May 31 were going to be tacked on to Friday’s program, but they ran Saturday instead. Tyler Wagner and Rocky Alexander, respectively, were the winners. Later in the evening, the Speedway played host to the Northern Super Truck Racing class, with eight trucks entered. Rod Fidler was the feature winner. Travis Hagen of Williston captured his first career modified victory at Estevan, taking the feature by a sizeable margin. “It means everything, man. We put a lot of hard work into this, and it’s a lot of fun,” he said. Hagen started the feature in third place and had grabbed the lead by the halfway point of the race. He then built a massive lead, but saw it disappear four laps later with one of six caution flags in the race. He said the constant parade of yellow flags didn’t bother him. “Once I got the lead, it was pretty good, just keep it straight,” he said. “It still wasn’t bad. I knew there wasn’t enough on the bottom to come driving on the bottom, so I knew if I

They both won a feature during the extended race program. could keep it running up at the top, it was going to be pretty good.” Steven Pfeifer finished second, followed by Tyler Wagner. Hagen’s father, Mike, came in 10th. The younger Hagen said it’s nice to be able to race and compete with his dad. “It’s not much of a rivalry. We try and help each other go as fast as we can. He helps me, I help him and we have a lot of fun doing it.” In the stock car feature, Estevan’s Austin
Daae continued a hot start to the season with a victory. He already has three feature wins in Minot this year. “It’s just trying to be smooth, I guess,” Daae said of his success so far in 2014. “Minot has a pretty dry track for driving and car setup (is a big part of) preparation. I’ve just been able to avoid some of the stuff in Minot and be smooth and consistent. “Here tonight, too, I was lucky to get through some of the stuff, had some close calls, but once you
got back up there and got in the rhythm again … trying to stay in a rhythm is one of the biggest things, keep the momentum going and try not to bobble too much. I guess it worked tonight.” Daae started fifth in the feature and moved up to second quickly. Later on, he took the lead with 11 laps left and built a large lead on second-place Gregg Mann, which evaporated when the caution flag came out with three laps left. Still, Daae got a good jump on the restart and
managed to hang on for the final three laps. To no one’s surprise, Brad King picked up his third straight hobby stock victory in Estevan and sixth of the year. King started in 11th place, an unfamiliar position for the man called the Alaskan Squirrel, but he moved up to third by the halfway point, then took the lead with four laps to go before winning by about a car length. “I was going as hard as I could and it just worked out well. It seemed like I could go to the bottom or go to the top and I was able to get around people. On a track like this, when you start back there in 11th or 12th, you do want to try to get by. “That’s what I try to do, get on up there, get into
that fifth, sixth spot where you can really control your own destiny. It just worked out from there. I really got up there pretty quick. With about seven laps left, I was in third and I was able to get to the front, and it was pretty clear sailing from there.” Although Saturday’s races had been in doubt due to rain, King said the resulting conditions worked out for him. “The track was pretty sticky, so that’s pretty good conditions for me. The car sticks good and I like to drive in hard.” The next race night for the Speedway is June 28, when the Wissota late model class makes an appearance. The late model feature that was postponed on May 31 will also run that night.
Here are the top five finishers in each of the six features run on Saturday at Estevan Motor Speedway, including two features that were made up from May 31:

The first of three race days this summer, the festivities began in the morning with time trials, followed by the races in the afternoon, as drivers competed in the Quick 16, A event, street, bike and sled, and junior drag-
ster classes. There was a brief rain delay early in the afternoon program, but the races proceeded on schedule after that. In the Quick 16, Skip Zentner of Russell, Man., was the winner, beating Dolores Hoffart of Bienfait. Lorne Walter of Lampman was the champion of the A event, as he defeated Terrie Willard of Frobisher
in the final. In the street class, Estevan’s Alex Neumann was the winner, beating out Richard Vogel of McTaggart. Kris Spence of Estevan was the winner of the bike and sled category, with Dave Krahn of Roche Percee finishing second. Rhys Jones of Oxbow was the junior dragster champion, as he defeated Estevan’s Sam Meek in the final.

Dahl headed to 2015 Canada Games The hard work and time away from home has paid off for Mackenzie Dahl. The Estevan synchronized swimming star was named to the Saskatchewan team for the 2015 Canada Winter Games last week. Dahl, 17, was one of only two athletes from outside Saskatoon and Regina to make the team, along with Yorkton’s Madison Neufeld, her duet partner with the Saskatoon Aqualenes. Dahl, who was a longtime member of the Estevan Mermaids before moving to Saskatoon to train with the Aqualenes this past year, said the accomplishment is symbolic of her growth as an athlete and person. “It means so many different things to me, it’s actually quite hard to explain. It’s been extremely satisfying knowing that I accomplished what I set out to do, and now I get to have this amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience. “But it’s also the knowledge that I’ve become stronger than I was before, both mentally and physically, as well as the importance of the characteristics and values I’ve acquired along the way.” Dahl said she never would have imagined getting to this point when she was young, as she wasn’t in it to be competitive.
“When I was young, I swam purely because of the fact that I had friends in the sport, and I loved the water. I really didn’t have a competitive bone in my body, and although I loved it, it took me a lot of years to become serious about the sport.” That’s where the Mermaids came in. Dahl spoke highly of the club’s role in developing her abilities. “They have been absolutely crucial in helping me get better. They not only gave me all the base skills of the sport, but encouraged me to believe that I could go so much further. The Mermaids are brilliant at creating an environment full of camaraderie, encouragement, positive thinking and support, in which it is forbidden to say, ‘I can’t.’ “I know that they definitely became my second family and the pool my second home. The Mermaids took me from a young girl who only joined the sport because of friends, to a young athlete strong enough to pursue her goals.” Last year, with her sights set on the Canada Games, Dahl made the decision to move to Saskatoon and train with one of the top clubs in the province. She certainly doesn’t regret that decision now. “In order to improve to the level that I needed to be swimming at, I needed more
coaching time and pool time in order to achieve my goal,” she said. “Extended hours spent in the pool and being coached were crucial to my improvement. It was also the fact that the coaches and athletes were all extremely welcoming and supportive of me; they pushed me and challenged me to do what I needed in order to improve.” Dahl and her Saskatchewan teammates will be busy between now and February. In July, the team will participate in a week-long training camp in Prince George, B.C., where the Games will be held. Throughout the summer, there will be training camps scheduled every month where the Regina and Saskatoon teams will
meet to work with coaches on their routines. “There will be land workouts with trainers scheduled once a week to improve endurance and strength,” Dahl said. “Also, we will all be required to have a food log to ensure that we are eating not only the right thing but enough of the right thing.” Dahl also recently received two awards at the Aqualenes’ awards banquet. She was named most improved and most dedicated among the team’s national stream athletes. The other team members are Saskatoon’s Alana Hargreaves, Claire Hargreaves, Jasmine Kowbel and Katie Willie, and Regina’s Emily Dietrich, Koralee Lindquist, Kenzie Priddell and Sage Sunley.
Wolves edge Threshers in low-scoring affair Runs were very hard to come by on Thursday for the Estevan Tower Wolves and Arcola Threshers. Luckily for the Tower Wolves, they managed to squeeze out the only one of the evening to sneak past the Threshers 1-0 in Arcola. The victory keeps the Wolves at the top of the Saskota Baseball League
standings, as they now own a 6-1 record, half a game ahead of the Carnduff Astros. They are also, on average, outscoring opponents 7-3 so far. The Wolves return home to Lynn Prime Park this week for a pair of games. Last night, they were scheduled to host the Oxbow Chiefs, while on

Parties sign Summer Games agreement An important milestone was reached on the road to the 2016 Saskatchewan Summer Games on Friday, as the Tri-Party Agreement was signed at Affinity Place. The Tri-Party Agreement outlines the responsibilities of the City of Estevan, the 2016 Saskatchewan Games organizing committee and the Saskatchewan Games Council. The agreement was signed by City manager Amber Smale, mayor Roy Ludwig, organizing committee co-chair Brian Senchuk and Saskatchewan Games Council chair Larry Sauer. Also on hand for the occasion were City councillors Kevin Smith and Greg Hoffort, as well as Games Council executive director Susan Schneider and provincial Games consultant Lorne Lasuita.
The financial ledger for the 2016 Games also got a big boost on Friday, as the host committee was presented with a cheque for $420,000 from the Games Council. A significant amount of money is given to each organizing committee to be put toward the staging of the Games. The agreement holds the City responsible for any financial shortcoming, but Ludwig said he’s confident that won’t happen. “The city, in a nutshell, is financially responsible. We accept that responsibility, knowing that the past few Games have been very successful. We look forward, with the people we have in place, to continuing that tradition of success.” Senchuk also assured the public that they won’t be footing any of the bill, other than sponsorship or
donations. “Our goal is to make this a success, not only from an experience but from a financial perspective. We’re a group of committed individuals and citizens that take pride in what we do. By no means will we ever put the City in a position where there’s fear of us not succeeding. We will not let it happen. We will succeed,” he said. Ludwig said the experience so far for him has been positive. “I’m so happy with our committee. They’re very professional. The enthusiasm is right off the charts, and I just know that we’re going to do absolutely fantastic. “It has been absolutely excellent working with Lorne and his group of people, plus our local committee.”
Twins reach final in Williston It was a strong weekend for the Southeast Legacy Twins in the Williston Invitational Tournament. The Twins reached the final of the event, losing 8-0 in four innings to a team from Aberdeen, S.D. Jimmy Giroux started the championship game for the Twins, going four and two-thirds before giving way to Chris Cooper for the final out. In round-robin play, the Twins finished first in their pool with a 3-1 record. Their only loss came in their first game, as they were defeated 7-6 by the Williston T-Birds. In their second game, the Twins doubled up the Cody, Wy., Stampede 4-2. Next, the Twins hammered the Moose
Jaw Canucks 13-3. In their final round-robin game, the Twins defeated the Billings, Mont., Halos 6-4. Meanwhile, the Twins pulled off a major upset in league play on June 10, defeating the first-place Regina Athletics 10-8. The game, played in Regina, saw the Twins score three runs in the sixth inning to break a 7-7 tie. Brandon Hutt was their top batter, hitting 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs batted in and a run scored. In their other game that night, they lost 7-1 to the Regina Wolfpack. The next action for the Twins (4-18) is on Friday when they host the Wolfpack in Weyburn.

Ode to June
April showers bring May flowers. That bit of poetry has always irked me because it clearly wasn’t written in Saskatchewan. April still leaves cold and snow and May often feels like a long, dark tunnel. In this province, the poem would have to read: May showers bring June flowers. That doesn’t even rhyme. Who cares - when it’s June? This month in Saskatchewan starts out by bringing us the glorious tulips, then the amazing scent of apple blossoms and then the lilacs. We have to catch them quickly, especially this year, before their beauty fades. But the air is so fresh and clear and the sun is so warm that is hardly matters. Before long, another bunch of wondrous blooms will jump up to take our attention away. June is the month when we remember why we live in this province, where we are not bumping up against someone else every second of every day. We have space to breathe and experience joy. Joy is the point of this meandering. The ability to experience joy is one of the characteristics of good mental health. Sun Country Health Region has numerous resources to help people who are experiencing psychological difficulties. We have registered psychiatric nurses, counsellors, social workers, primary health practitioners, psychologists and psychiatrists, all of whom are here to help you or a member of your family who is inexplicably sad on these beautiful days. The Canadian Mental Health Association says “Mental health means striking a balance in all aspects of your life: social, physical, spiritual, economic and mental. Reaching a balance is a learning process. At times, you may tip the balance too much in one direction and have to find your footing again. Your personal balance will be unique, and your challenge will be to stay mentally healthy by keeping that balance.” The organization says about 20 per cent of Canadians will personally experience a mental illness in their lifetime. Mental health as an issue is coming to the forefront, thanks to people like Clara Hughes who are willing to talk about their own challenges. We can help you find that balance so that June is once again a wonderful experience. Call us.
City manager Amber Smale, host committee co-chair Brian Senchuk, Mayor Roy Ludwig and Games Council chair Larry Sauer sign the Tri-Party Agreement on Friday. Senchuk said that while the $420,000 had not yet been earmarked for anything in particular, it is a big help. “We have to operate the Games. We will have two separate budgets, one for capital projects and one for the running of the Games. We have financial people involved that will make sure that each is well looked after. “It’s huge. It’s an immediate impact on the City of Estevan. That’s $420,000 coming into the community
that wasn’t there before, plus the $250,000 legacy grant that we will be applying for.” Meanwhile, the organizing committee is now working on sponsorship packages and notes that anyone can get involved. “There’s opportunities for individuals and companies, small or large. Everybody can leave an impact on the Games. We need your help and support because it’s not only bringing the Games, it’s bringing
athletes, it’s bringing an impact and a legacy to the community. We’re hoping everybody can lend their hands in a way,” Senchuk said. In addition, the group is asking for volunteers to come forward and not just to handle major tasks. “We have a really energetic volunteer committee that will eagerly accept people coming forward and will find a spot for them, no matter what it is or how small, it’s all important.”

Todd Folkerts and Dalan Wheeler come in to the boat launch area after a day of bass fishing. The team finished second.
Nicholas and Breisnes win tournament Sixteen boats hit the waters of Boundary Dam on Saturday morning in search of some fish and some prize money. They returned to shore in the afternoon to weigh their haul and divvy up the cash as part of the sixth
annual KRJ International Bass Fishing Tournament. The team of Alan Nicholas and Rick Breisnes caught four fish weighing a total of 15.5 pounds. For that, they won the top prize of $1,000 and a special prize courtesy of Kendall’s
Supply. In second place, finishing in the same spot they did last year, were Dalan Wheeler and Todd Folkerts. Their fish came in at 15.32 pounds and that earned them a cheque for $500.
Lance Marcotte and Keith Parkinson finished in third place with a haul of 14.98 pounds and won $250. In fourth place were Brad and Darren Frater, who won $200 with their fish weighing 13.8 pounds.
Dwight Tonn and Don Austring rounded out the top five, with their total of 13.42 pounds good for a $150 cheque. Doug Franklin hauled in a bass weighing 4.38 pounds, which earned him the Big Bass Trophy, as
well as $200 courtesy of Peterson Construction and a trolling motor courtesy of Canadian Tire. The trophies were donated by McComb Automotive Supply, Room by Room Furniture and Murray GM.
Chamney wins three gold at provincials It has been a year to remember so far for Estevan track and field athlete William Chamney. Chamney captured the gold medal in all three of his events at the Saskatchewan Athletics provincials in Regina. Competing in the youth division, Chamney won gold in the high jump with a jump of 1.70 metres, while battling torrential rain. He also captured gold in the 100 metres with a time of 11.47 seconds, and in the 200, where his time of 23.17 seconds gave him a commanding victory. Chamney’s results have secured him a spot on the Saskatchewan Youth team that will compete in Westerns, which features
athletes from Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan in the midget and youth divisions. The event will be held in Saskatoon on the July 19 weekend. He also competed at Westerns last year in Calgary and will be looking to improve his performances, as he will be competing as a senior in the youth division. Meanwhile, Chamney won a silver medal in the 200 metres at the Saskatchewan High School Athletics Association track provincials earlier this month, and also finished fifth in the 100 metres. Before that, Chamney broke a 40-year record in the 200 metres at the district meet in Weyburn.

Tons of scoring at World Cup in Brazil Unfortunately, most of you probably don’t care about the World Cup, so you have a choice: keep reading or move on and read about the success of the Estevan Elite peewee team on the weekend. People who aren’t fans of soccer think the sport is boring, but the World Cup in Brazil has been anything but so far. Through 14 games as of Monday, 44 goals had been scored, which is over three per game. That’s a lot for footy. Not only that, it took 13 games for there to be a tie, although, granted, Monday’s match between Iran and Nigeria might have been the most boring in the history of soccer. There has been great drama, beginning 11 minutes into the tournament with an own goal by Brazil on home turf. On Saturday, Cote D’Ivoire turned Japan on their heads with two goals in as many minutes, moments after Didier Drogba came on as a substitute, on their way to victory. There was Switzerland, scoring in stoppage time to defeat Ecuador after an incredible individual effort by
throwing one of two Groups of Death into chaos, while Germany hammered Portugal 4-0 on Monday. I won’t lie, it was fun to watch the Portuguese self-destruct, including a ridiculous head-butt by Pepe that earned him a straight red. I see Brazil, Germany or Argentina raising the trophy on June 13. I also had Spain in that group, but after the annihilation they took from the Dutch, I’m not so sure. Still, they have all the talent in the world. Argentina will also have to play much better than they did in their opener against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Here are the teams I see getting through to the knockout stage, in order of finish in each group: Brazil, Croatia, Netherlands, Spain, Colombia, Cote D’Ivoire, Italy, Uruguay, France, Switzerland, Argentina, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany, U.S., Belgium, Russia.
Josh Lewis Hear Me Out Valon Behrami. On Monday, the U.S. did the same to get revenge on Ghana for being knocked out of the last two World Cups. There have also been some big surprises. The Netherlands turned the soccer world on its ear on Friday, demolishing the defending champions and inarguably the best team in soccer, Spain, 5-1. The next day, Costa Rica upended Uruguay 3-1,

Peewee Elite go undefeated in Moose Jaw The Estevan Rocket Sales Elite peewee softball team posted a 3-0 record in round-robin play in a tournament in Moose Jaw on the weekend. It was a cold and rainy weekend, and the playoff games on Sunday had to be cancelled.
In their first game, the Elite dumped the Moose Jaw Sizzlers 18-6. They scored runs early and put the game out of reach in the second inning. Camryn Brown hit a two-run homer, while Katelyn Dottenhoffer went 3-for-3 with a stolen base. Katelyn Hutt got the
win on the mound. “The team showed character battling the cold rain and wet field,” said Elite head coach Mike Wilson. In their second game, the Elite defeated their rivals in Weyburn 13-6. McKenzie Fleck batted
2-for-2 with a home run, with Makenna Morrison getting the win. “We knew as a team if we could beat Weyburn, we would advance, and it would give us confidence as the tournament went on,” said Wilson. The next game was a whitewash as the Elite
hammered Regina 21-1. Every batter crossed home plate and Liana Ness was the winning pitcher. “We struggled in the first, whether it was nerves or too excited from beating Weyburn. But the girls refocused and played ball,” Wilson said. He added that the Elite
are on the right track as they get ready for provincials June 27-29. “The team had a strong showing at the plate and our pitchers are pitching well, with a winning attitude. The team is believing in themselves and are buying into what we are trying to accomplish as a team.”

Golden Eels swim in Humboldt, Melfort It was a busy weekend for the Estevan Golden Eels swim club, as they participated in meets in Humboldt and Melfort. The club sent 32 swimmers to Humboldt and came out of the meet with seven overall age group medals. Denver Sehn was the overall points champion for the meet, winning the gold in the boys’ eight and under age group. The Eels swept that division, with Lucas Dzeryk taking silver and Logan Dalziel earning bronze. In the girls’ 12-and-under category, Hannah Mantei took gold. In the boys’ 14-and-under category, meanwhile, it was Garrett Ross winning gold. Carson Wheeler won bronze
in the boys’ 10-and-under group, while Payten Wilson was the bronze medallist in the girls’ 14-and-under category.

Donation made in memory of animal advocate A donation directed toward the Estevan Human Society was made with careful consideration and in memory of an animal advocate. The decision by the team at Packers Plus in Estevan, to raise money for the local animal shelter
was a near no-brainer said John Buchanen and Jeremy MacKenzie who participated in the cheque handover ceremony with the Humane Society’s shelter manager Regan Bruce on June 10. “The donation is made in the memory of Levi Smith who worked with us
and who passed away about a year ago,” said Buchanen, field client relations manager for the company. “He was a true animal advocate, so the decision was easy,” added MacKenzie, assistant manager for Packers Plus in their Estevan office which is
where the transaction took place. Also participating in the event was Misty, the company’s mascot. The $1,581.07 donation was raised through a sideline contest promoted by the company during the recent OTS Oilmens’ Golf Tournament. Packers Plus initiated an optional pitching contest among the tournament’s competitors. The entry fees paid to enter this sideline event were handed over to the Humane Society along with the proceeds from a free-will offering that took place at the company’s 2013 Christmas party. “We raised a little cash at both events and it’s time to hand it over to the shel-
many and with the shelter at capacity, there would be no problem in putting the money to effective use.

Patt Lenover-Adams, who retired from her position as executive director at Envision, accepted a gift from her colleagues at the end of the her retirement party.
Name:_______________________________
Emotions were high as dozens of people crammed into the Envision Counselling And Support Centre to celebrate their executive director’s retirement. Patt Lenover-Adams, who held that post for the past 19 years, was on the receiving end of hugs, heart-felt speeches and best wishes as she stepped down from the position she held since the Violence Intervention Program, now known as Envision, was established in Estevan in 1994. Though she wasn’t there right from the start — the first executive director at the VIP lasted a few months — counselling supervisor Christa Daku said Lenover-Adams’ legacy is undeniable and will be maintained for years to come. “Although she’s leaving, we’re excited to have a new ED,” she said. “We’ve restructured the organization over the last year, and we’re confident moving forward without her.” This is a big reason why Lenover-Adams made the decision to move on. “I told myself I’d retire when Envision became stable and was in a good place. I never wanted to leave people with any concerns,” she said. “We have an amazing staff, a dedicated board and awesome volunteers.” Vice-chairman, Vic Wiebe, was the first to congratulate Lenover-Adams on her retirement during the ceremony. Wiebe, who was in close contact with Lenover-Adams and VIP during its early days, stressed the magnitude of her work in developing a prevention program. “Family violence is a serious issue that we can never forget about, but rather than focus on developing a shelter, which is the direction things seemed to be going initially, the agency under Patt’s direction in fact, focused on what can we do to prevent that violence,” he said. “That’s been the hallmark of a lot of the work she’s done.” Wiebe went on to list a number of the services Envision offers as a result of Lenover-Adams’ leadership, which have strengthened that ultimate goal of violence prevention. Alongside the 24-hour telephone support service, various support and intervention services have been created over the past several years, and to combat the ever-expanding reach of cyber violence, a new project dedicated to this goal emerged earlier this year. Juli Dzuba, cyber violence project co-ordinator, who started working with Envision in April, said cyber violence is something that many people don’t exactly know how to deal with yet. “Cyber violence is very big right now, and I think it’s really important we deal with the situation now, before it grows into something we can’t handle,” she explained. Dzuba also said Lenover-Adams has allowed her to feel comfortable and motivated at work. Gail Stepp and Thereasa Fernandez, who have volunteered at Envision for 12 years now, strongly agreed with Dzuba’s statement. “She pushed us out of our comfort zones,” Fernandez said. “She really inspires us.” Lenover-Adams said she would like to see more full-time employees working on prevention work, but is very proud of the progress Envision has made during its 20 years in existence. “I think we’ve helped victims come forward,” she said. Lenover-Adams is unsure what the future holds but said she looks forward to retirement. Rod McKendrick from the Ministry of Justice, who gave a little speech during the ceremony, said to retire means, “to disappear,” which is something he said Lenover-Adams will have difficulty doing. “I don’t see her disappearing for very long,” he said with a smile. When asked what advice she has for the new executive director, who hasn’t been selected yet, she was swift with her answer. “Take calculated risks, listen to the community and think outside the box.”

Province celebrates benefits of tourism industry The Government of Saskatchewan is proclaiming June 15-21 as Saskatchewan Tourism Week. Part of a broader national initiative called Tourism Week in Canada, which brings attention to the economic opportunity available to Canada through travel and tourism, Saskatchewan Tourism Week provides an excellent opportunity to expand awareness about the importance of tourism in this province. Tourism contributes more than $2.12 billion to Saskatchewan’s economy annually, and, in 2012, there were more than 12.5 million visits to and within the province. Approximately 55,600 residents are employed in tourism or tourism-related jobs. “Tourism’s significant contributions to the Saskatch-
ewan economy, image and quality of life are certainly worthy of attention and celebration,” Minister responsible for Tourism Saskatchewan Jeremy Harrison said. “Saskatchewan Tourism Week provides an opportunity to broaden the understanding of tourism’s importance and the benefits that a vibrant, welcoming tourism sector yields.” “Saskatchewan’s wealth of tourism assets provide countless reasons to celebrate,” Tourism Saskatchewan Interim Chief Executive Officer Mary Taylor-Ash said. “Beautiful parks and nearly 100,000 lakes framed by lush boreal forest provide limitless opportunities to enjoy outdoor adventure. We are fortunate to have vibrant urban centres in addition to tranquil rural landscapes and destinations ‘off the beaten path’ that can lead to extraordinary
discoveries. Saskatchewan Tourism Week highlights our many experiences and pays tribute to a dynamic, important industry and to the people who drive its growth and success.” Communities across the province will be celebrating Saskatchewan Tourism Week with public barbeques, community tours, flag-raising ceremonies, open houses, contests and promotions. For more information and a complete list of Saskatchewan Tourism Week events planned throughout the province, visit www.TourismSaskatchewan.com

Nina Elaine Martinson passed away at the age of 83 years and 1 week on Wednesday, June 4, 2014. Nina was predeceased by her husband of 59 years, Elvey; parents Steinar and Elise Knutson; brothers: Carl, Elmer and Arnold Knutson; sister Inga Knutson; sisters-in-law: Lillian, Clara, Gladys Knutson and Haldis Martinson; brothers-in-law: Mike Swerhone, Stan Sogge, Hank Holth, Harvey Hanson, Woodrow Martinson and Willis Emde. She is survived by her family: son, Dayle (Dixie), Midale SK and their children [Tricia (Craig), Colby and Logan (Brianna)]; son Lyle (Teri), Calgary AB and their children [Jodie (Gerard), Makenzie, Kyla and Larah], son Neil (Rhonda), Midale SK and their children [Kara, Megan and Jordan]. and son Glenn (Becky), Medicine Hat AB and their children [Jillian, Abby, Molly and Zachary] and daughter Joyce and her children [Hannah and Martin].

Nina was born on the family farm north of Torquay and attended high school at SLBI in Outlook. After graduation Nina attended Nurses Training in Moose Jaw. She moved to Midale where she worked as a telephone operator and eventually changed jobs to work at the Midale Hospital. In 1953, Nina married Elvey Martinson where they settled on the farm west of Midale. Nina and Elvey were blessed with 59 years of marriage before Elvey’s passing in January of 2013. Nina was a devoted wife and mother all her life. After the last child turned 16 she went to work off the farm. She worked at the Midale Union Hospital as a nurse’s aide for many years. After retiring from the hospital Nina returned to work at Walmart in Estevan at the age of 75 years and later at Mainprize Manor and Lampman Hospital as the activity director. Nina was a very strong Christian and believed in living her faith. She was involved in many areas of the church including ELW, being the church organist for over 50 years and directing Jr.and Sr. choirs and the New Dawn Singers. For the last 14 years she thoroughly enjoyed singing with the Southeast Chorus. Nina loved to cook and bake and was known for her chocolate chip cookies, hot dishes and lefse, which she made for the weddings of her grandchildren. Nina loved to sew, crochet and quilt. She had made an afghan for each of her 16 grandchildren for their graduation and a quilt for each of them for their wedding. What a treasure for each of the grandchildren. Visitation for Nina was held from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Sunday, June 8th, 2014 at RD Family Funeral Chapel, Weyburn, SK. A funeral service for Nina was held on Monday, June 9, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. from Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Midale, SK, with Pastor Cicely McDougall officiating.

60 & Over Club Notes
While father and son were out fishing one afternoon, son asked his father, “Dad, how does this boat float?” “I don’t know, son.” Later; son asked his father “Dad, why is the sky blue?” “I really couldn’t say, son.” Still later, son asked, “Dad, how do fish breathe?” “I don’t know, son.” “Dad, do you mind me asking you questions?” “Of course not, son. How are you going to learn anything if you don’t ask questions!” I’m happy to report we have a number of events already scheduled for the summer so phone early. Lorna Strubel, president. Remember folks the Jam Session is always on the second Sunday of the month. Bridge winners were: 1st Jim Benison 2nd Helen Marriott 3rd Hazel Benison Cribbage winners were: 1st Bertha Andries 2nd Bert Parent 3rd Al Fellner Missing cell phone: A guy was laying down carpet in a woman’s home. As he was finishing, he got a craving for a cigarette. He looked around and discovered that his cigarettes were missing. He did, however, notice a bump in the carpet and figured that he had laid carpet over the pack without noticing it there. He decided rather than to take up the carpet, he would get a hammer and pound it into the floor so no one would notice. The owner of the house came into the room and commented on what a good job he had done. “The carpet looks wonderful! Here are your cigarettes; I found them in the kitchen. Oh yes, by the way, have you seen my cellphone?”

100th Birthday
Susan Widenmaier celebrated her 100th birthday at Trinity Tower on June 12. She attributed her incredible achievement to “living a quiet life,” and said she didn’t think she deserved all the attention. One of her friends said Susan’s always tried to do good for everyone else, and is still active even today. She plays cards and enjoys baking cookies for everyone else. On display during the party, were several letters congratulating her 100th birthday and a beautiful hand-made wooden picture frame, which according to Susan took her husband several months to complete.
