Fourteen Estevan businesses received nominations in eight separate categories, and all nominees, especially the winners, were celebrated on Friday night during the Estevan Business Excellence Awards (EBEX) banquet staged in Spectra Place. Long-time Estevan businessman and community contributor Ed Turnbull walked to the reception podium twice, the second time to receive the MNP sponsored award as the leader of the Business of the Year after earlier capturing the award for Growth and Expansion for Turnbull Excavating. Three long-serving venerable families were also feted near the end of the evening’s program. Doris and Ray Frehlick along with the Sereggela and Symons families were inducted into the Nick and Verna Morsky Business Hall of Fame, lending even more excitement to the program. (See related article on A3). Trimount Developments, the company associated with an ambitious property development project on the north side of the city, after successful completion of an inner city program, was presented with the SaskPower Outstanding Service Award, edging co-finalists Atco Lodge Estevan and Great Canadian Oil Change. It was noted that even though Trimount is a relative newcomer to the city they have provided a major impact on the community through their designs and construction of sustainable homes while providing ethical, accountable practices. TS&M Supply’s Dan Pratt stepped up to accept the Trimount sponsored EBEX Award for Community Involvement, out-polling two other finalists, Murray GM and Turnbull Excavating. This company has left its mark all over the city and southeast Saskatchewan with its commitments to such major projects as the Woodlawn Golf Club’s revival and sponsorship of numerous sports teams, plus various service clubs and community programs. Pratt represents a new generation of leadership for the company that took root in southeast Saskatchewan in the mid-1950s. EBEX ⇢ A2

natural causes, a non-preventable severe coronery artery disease event and his incarceration in the Estevan Police Service cell had nothing to do with his death,” said Stewart. Stadey had been placed in custody by members of the Estevan RCMP detachment on the night of Dec. 19 following a disturbance at a labour camp east of the city, Chief ⇢ A2
